Historic Vids
@historyinmemes

To appear headless while taking a photo, known as "horsemaning", was a popular way to pose in the 1920's.

Horsemaning, also known as "headless posing," is a photographic technique where the subject creates the illusion of being beheaded, with their head placed on the ground or another surface. This unique form of posing gained popularity during the 1920s and was considered a photography trend at the time.

To achieve the desired effect, two individuals are required for this pose. One person positions themselves with their head hidden or tilted backward, while the other conceals their body, revealing only their head in the photograph. The term "Horsemaning" originated from the Headless Horseman, a malevolent character depicted in Washington Irving's 1820 short story titled "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

In 2011, Horsemaning experienced a resurgence on Facebook, and numerous photos attempting to recreate the original trend started circulating on platforms like Buzzfeed. This revitalization brought renewed attention to the peculiar and imaginative art of Horsemaning.

James Talarico is so normal and masculine!


James Talarico Headlined Pride Event Alongside 11-Year-Old Child Drag Queen 'Kween Kee Kee': 'Absolute Cutest and Youngest of Our Drag Performers'

The Pride Month event also featured a drag queen with the provocative name 'Sedonya Face'

Sit-on-your-face, GET IT??!!! I love all of drag queens' joke (singular).


James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian running for U.S. Senate from Texas, headlined an LGBTQ festival that featured "the absolute cutest & youngest of our drag performers," an 11-year-old boy "drag queen" who goes by the stage name Kween Kee Kee.

Taylor PRIDE, a group in the town of Taylor, Texas, held the June 26, 2021, event to raise money to help "rural LGBTQ communities." The Pride Month festivities included a series of pro-LGBTQ speakers, live music, a "drag story hour," and adult drag performers such as Brianna Brinxx and the provocatively named Sedonya Face.

Talarico and Kween Kee Kee, a local preteen named Keegan, were the biggest attraction for Taylor PRIDE organizers. "[Taylor PRIDE] will be hosting numerous speakers such as State Rep. James Talarico, talented musical guests such as Venus Loves Mars, the absolute cutest & youngest of our drag performers Kween Kee Kee," the group wrote in promotional materials.

"Not only ... will this amazing pre-teen be performing a number at Texas Beer Company but they will also host Kee Kee Storytime ... where children will find lots of PRIDE inspired craft activities," Taylor PRIDE wrote of Kween Kee Kee in a post publicizing the event.

Talarico, running against Texas attorney general Ken Paxton (R.), is seen in photos speaking to the audience and posing with attendees at Texas Beer Company, which hosted the festival. Kween Kee Kee, sporting a shimmery blue dress, heavy eye makeup, and a platinum blonde wig, performed a drag routine as part of the group's "Youth Drag Show," event photos show.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." CNN's Abby Phillip corrected a guest: "I will say El-Sayed didn't -- does not support defunding the police." When she was confronted by CNN's own reporting that he called for defunding the police, Phillip offered a curious response...


..."I think the question that I'm fundamentally asking is, by dredging up the sort of wedge issues of 2020, are you missing the point?" Well, the point is that he called for defunding the police. It may be a wedge issue when a candidate wants to return to the state of nature...

...This is the same reporter who "dredged up" an attack line against Bernie Sanders in the presidential debates and made Sanders repeat his outright denial of the allegation by Elizabeth Warren that he told her that no woman could be president.

Migrant NGOs are handing out leaflets instructing illegal aliens how to illegally cross the Channel from France to UK and how to call for the British navy to save you when you want to be brought ashore.

Walking down the average UK high street now is one of the most blackpilling experiences imaginable. Barely any local businesses left, just endless vape shops, tacky nail salons, dodgy phone retailers and the obligatory Turkish barbers, most of which never see a single customer and barely even bother to maintain the pretence of being legit anymore.

A palpable atmosphere of quiet despair and resignation amongst the trickle of shoppers wandering aimlessly around. Its like living in a country that just lost a war without firing a single shot. Never seen anything like it in my lifetime.

The hero who knocked out the Democrat congressional candidate weakling says "I didn't even know who he was." Of course you didn't. He's another nobody soyboy who thinks he can bully the world into saying he's special.

Hasan Piker is proof that we must not only end birthright citizenship but end it retroactively.

Trump must have seen this Terror Cuck's ugly mug and decided to act.

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Thursday that attempt to restrict birthright citizenship and end the practice of "birth tourism," in hopes of circumventing a recent Supreme Court decision.

...

The order restricting birthright citizenship expands the definition of what children born in the United States would be ineligible for automatic citizenship, including children of "alien enemies of the United States, members of foreign terrorist organizations and large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments."

The other order directs the State Department to issue rules and guidance to stop birth tourism, according to Axios, even as U.S. law already bans tourists from obtaining visas "for the primary purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the United States."

Francesca Hong won't have any of that awful "proximity to whiteness" when we deport her.

Megan Basham
@megbasham

Aug 5

I've said this before. Francesca Hong was born to non-citizen immigrants. In other words, she has citizenship in the U.S. because she was born here when her parents were on student visas.

Birthright citizenship candidates like her are FAR more likely to be extreme leftwing than to be the kind of pro American patriot that we are promised when we grant this kind of citizenship.

And now she is running as a socialist in order to dismantle the American way of life.

Tell me more about how this isn't a problem.

In case you missed it: evil America-hating anchor baby Francesca Hong got a call from her pollster and discovered she actually loves Thanksgiving, rather than hating it as "painful" for foreigners like herself.


Unfunnyman Stephen Colbert warned his audience of brain-damaged clapping seals to not take a vaccine created by Big Pharma... when Trump was president.

Then Biden was fake-elected, and you know what happened next.


Stephen Colbert's nepo baby daughter works at, get this, 60 Minutes.

Or at least she did. She's resigned as CBS gets ready to purge its " " " news talent. " " "

Stephen Colbert's daughter has resigned from "60 Minutes," becoming the latest behind-the-scenes producer to leave the venerable newsmagazine as it grapples with a talent exodus, a reportedly unaired Jeffrey Epstein investigation and mounting scrutiny of its future ownership.

Madeleine Carlisle, a well-regarded associate producer who joined "60 Minutes" after reporting stints at Time and The Atlantic, resigned from the broadcast in recent days, according to Status.

The exit creates an awkward family bookend for CBS.

Carlisle left just months after the network pulled the plug on her father's top-rated "Late Show," ending Stephen Colbert's 11-season run on May 21 after CBS called the cancellation a "purely financial decision."


David Strom reckons this might be the worst AWFL monologue in a while.

I don't know it it's the worst. Everything these batty female cucks say is heinous and retarded.

Yes, not even pennies on the dollar. I would expect no more than a thousandth of the value to us, and for some, maybe only a nominal consideration.

That's the pattern I've seen in news reports of official corruption. Whether it was a property manager steering maintenance contracts for public housing, or a sweetheart deal for a no-bid contract to be a pointless middleman doubling the price of Covid tests, the kickback was relatively trivial, at least three figures less than the value of the deal.

That's probably because what the corruptocrat was selling wasn't his, so it was no cost to him, and also he couldn't put it up on eBay for a bidding war. It was either take the pittance on offer or get nothing for it.

I'm curious to learn if this is a general principle that applies to other things, like fencing stolen art and jewelry. I would bet it does.

48 In my experience with anchor babies, they don't identify as Americans at all. They are just visitors who happen to have US passport. They all still have the passport from their parent's country and so they are either of that country, or internationalists. They see USA as a resource.

One of the biggest rules in sales is that people don't value anything they can get cheap. Give a customer a sample and they will piss on it. Make them beg and pay, and they will treat it like gold.

Same with women.

Same with citizenship. It should be harder to get than any other country in the world. It should require relinquishing any other passport, and meeting strict qualifications.

What we are seeing is the result of decades of leftists infiltrating or education system. This is what they've taught from elementary school through college.

Look at their supporters. Look at the anti-semitic riots on college campuses. Look where El-Sayed got his votes in Michigan.

53 In my experience with anchor babies, they don't identify as Americans at all. They are just visitors who happen to have US passport. They all still have the passport from their parent's country and so they are either of that country, or internationalists. They see USA as a resource.

One of the biggest rules in sales is that people don't value anything they can get cheap. Give a customer a sample and they will piss on it. Make them beg and pay, and they will treat it like gold.

Same with women.

Same with citizenship. It should be harder to get than any other country in the world. It should require relinquishing any other passport, and meeting strict qualifications.

58 You might remember, or tried to forget, how my wife had mentioned the idea of doing an at-home colonoscopy on me, to save money and all. Well, today I get a letter from BCBS where they excitedly reveal that their is a do-it-yourself screening and they're sending me a kit!

I'm guessing the kit has a series of tubes, a bicycle pump, and one of those big drilling/reaming contraptions you see mounted on tripods in bank heist movies. The big drill is usually operated by a guy named Jimmie who is the kid brother of the gang leader who let little bro in on one last big deal. The gang leader loves his little brother and promised his mom he'd always take care of him.

Jimmie dies, horribly, all captured in slow motion, during a shootout after the botched colon job which sets up a cycle of violent revenge between the gang and the protagonist.

I'm excited to see how it all turns out.

Critical Drinker's read on London is spot on.

We were in London a few weeks ago and our hotel was in South Kensington near what used to be a nice major street now mostly fronted by crap shops, hookah dumps and garbage on the street every morning.

Once upon a time, early in the morning, you'd see shopkeepers sweeping and cleaning up the front of their stores and shops, but-

Nope.

Just garbage dumped on the curb from the night before.

It wasn't like that everywhere, but it was surprising how much was exactly like that.

Don't get too excited. It's just a small bottle brush-like dingus that you stick into your poop at multiple locations, then seal into a vial for return.

If anything weird shows up on that, you'll still have to go in for the full Black and Decker Snake Light up the ass treatment.

Pro tip: the paper sheet they give you to catch your poop is 100% useless. Don't even attempt it.

Instead, get one of those disposable aluminum pie plates and put that in the toilet. Get your sample, dump the turd off into the toilet, and throw the pie plate away.

I believe it was AoP who gave me this tip. Works great.

Stop. Just... no.

Texas was a (D) state for pretty much its entire history until W Bush came around. It was never blood red, I'm from here, live here, and where we are right now, or at least in 2024, is as red as it's ever been. the Dallas mayor changed from a (D) to a (R) not long ago, Trump turned over the RGV - Reagan and W never did that.

Stop believing the bullshit, yes, a shit load of people have moved here, not all of them are leftists. I know blue people who have left precisely because they don't want to live in red Texas.

Texas is not purple, it is not blood red. It's not the next Colorado. There are too many urban fuckups, yeah, but the rest of the state is bigger than any other in the lower 48 and has a shitload of normal people in it and will for a very long time.

Natalie Winters: Top American Generals and Democrat Politicians (Including Hillary Clinton) Joined Chinese Intelllgence's Backchannel Efforts to Distort American Policy

Rich Higgins, RIP, told me long ago that generals and admirals are frequently recruited as agents of influence for foreign powers.

The usual scam is that a foreign government hires them, post-retirement, for "security consulting." For a couple of weeks' "work," they get a million dollars.

But the scam is, they're not being paid for their "security consulting." They're being paid to have a friendly relationship with that foreign government. So that when the foreign power needs a favor, they can ask their Pet General to contact high-ranking politicians or current Pentagon staffers and pitch them the foreign power's agenda.

Democrats have had a long history of treasonous liaisons with China. You all remember Red China pouring money into the Clinton re-election campaign through Chinese "nuns" who deposited Chinese money on behalf of the Chinese government.

Chinese "nuns" who'd taken a vow of poverty poured tens of thousands into the Clinton-Gore re-election campaign, and Al Gore and Hillary and Bill Clinton said "Yes please and thank you, no further questions. We await your orders, Comrades."

Natalie Winters says it's only gotten worse.

REVEALED: Top American Generals Joined a CCP Spy Front's Backchannel Pushing China's Military Agenda in Washington. Some Ended Up on China's Payroll.


From Hillary Clinton to former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it's treason at the highest levels.

Aug 04, 2026

For more than a decade, former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, combatant commanders, Cabinet officials and members of Congress participated in a military dialogue organized with a Chinese group identified by congressional investigators as a front engaged in "intelligence collection" and "propaganda and perception management." Some ended up on China's payroll shortly after.

The Chinese Communist Party did not need to penetrate the Pentagon to gain access to America's military leadership.

It built a private network around it.

For more than a decade, some of the most powerful retired officers in the United States participated in closed-door meetings with senior Chinese military leaders. The discussions covered Taiwan, the South China Sea, missile defense, cybersecurity and the future of relations between the two militaries.

The American participants included:

Gen. Peter Pace, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Adm. William "Bill" Owens, former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Gen. John Abizaid, former commander of U.S. Central Command

Gen. Raymond Odierno, former Army Chief of Staff

Adm. Jonathan Greenert, former Chief of Naval Operations

Adm. Timothy Keating, former commander of U.S. Pacific Command

Gen. Ronald Fogleman, former Air Force Chief of Staff

Gen. Dennis Reimer, former Army Chief of Staff

Adm. Joseph Prueher, former commander of U.S. Pacific Command

Gen. John Keane, former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army

Gen. Walter Sharp, former commander of U.S. Forces Korea

Gen. Charles Jacoby, former commander of U.S. Northern Command

Gen. Charles Wilhelm, former commander of U.S. Southern Command

The program was called the Sanya Initiative.

Its glossy brochures framed it as a peaceful exchange between retired American and Chinese generals. Photographs showed senior officers chatting in Hawaiian shirts, touring military institutions and sitting across from Chinese commanders in ornate meeting rooms.

But the initiative was not organized with an ordinary veterans' association.

It was funded by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, or CUSEF, and conducted with the China Association for International Friendly Contact, or CAIFC.

Congressional investigators have described CAIFC as "a front organization" for the People's Liberation Army's former General Political Department.

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission found that the group performed the dual roles of "intelligence collection" and "conducting propaganda and perception management campaigns."

The commission specifically cited CAIFC's work through the Sanya Initiative.

Put simply -- America's most senior former military leaders spent years collaborating through a program organized with a Chinese military front that U.S. government investigators linked to intelligence gathering and foreign influence operations.

...

The CPPCC is a central part of the Chinese Communist Party's United Front system.

U.S. government reports describe the United Front as an influence apparatus designed to build relationships with foreign elites, suppress opposition to Beijing and induce influential outsiders to advance Chinese Communist Party objectives.

One congressional report described its mission as seeking to:

"Co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition."

CUSEF heavily relies on the foreign influence tactic of "pay-for-play" trips, including paying and subsidizing journalists to travel to China in exchange for "favorable coverage."

From Retired Generals To The State Department

The first Sanya Initiative gathering took place in China in 2008.

...

The following year, the initiative moved beyond meetings among retired officers.

CUSEF brought the combined American and Chinese delegations through Hawaii, Washington, D.C., and New York.

According to the foundation's own brochure, they met:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen

Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell

Rep. Rick Larsen

Rep. Mark Kirk

Adm. Timothy Keating

Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle

China #hacked our elections and all of these people need to be investigated for years and years by the FBI, NSA, and CIA.

36 I just checked, and China is 29% of worldwide manufacturing. USA 18%, and Japan 5%. Those are top three.

But that USA 17% and everyone else depend heavily on Chinese components. China has inserted itself into just about every market. The US may still make steel, and be able to erect a building or build a ship, but every step from mining to final fabrication is going to require dealing with a supply chain that leads to China. It is madness.

46 From wikipedia.

I had to double-check

The U.S.–China Relations Act of 2000 is an act of the United States Congress that granted People's Republic of China permanent normal trade relations (NTR) status (previously called most favoured nation (MFN)) when China becomes a full member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), ending annual review and approval of NTR. It was signed into law on October 10, 2000, by United States President Bill Clinton. The Act also establishes a Congressional-Executive Commission to ensure that China complies with internationally recognized human rights laws, meets labor standards and allows religious freedom, and establishes a task force to prohibit the importation of Chinese products that were made in forced labor camps or prisons.[1] 

The Act also includes so-called "anti-dumping" measures designed to prevent an influx of inexpensive Chinese goods into the United States that might hurt American industries making the same goods. It allows new duties and restrictions on Chinese imports that "threaten to cause market disruption to the U.S. producers of a like or directly competitive product."[2

From what I recall, Bush gave them temporary MFN, renewable every year but only if they met certain conditions. It was a carrot.

It was very controversial at the time, and Clinton criticized it during the campaign. Bush was former ambassador, so he had ideas about China. I thought he was a fool.

Clinton gave them permanent MFN. Carrot gone. Now they could do as they pleased. The act only made it legislatively approved and added some other conditions. Also the switchover to WTO, which was a treaty and needed approval. But the damage was done by Clinton.

Just like that idiot Nixon said there were "two Chinas," recognizing Peking, and then that traitor Carter gave the UN seat to the wrong China. -- an R does something foolish but meaningless to be clever, and then a D gives away the shop.

I've been saying that for years. Even if everyone involved was acting honorably (they're not), post-retirement retention of security clearances are nothing more than subsidies for defense contractors.

109 Second chance for SCOTUS to fix things (as it will definitelyget Hawaiian judged in the interim)?

Trump orders limits on birthright citizenship, targets ‘birth tourism’ President Trump on Thursday signed two executive orders again aimed at restricting birthright citizenship, an apparent attempt to circumvent a recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld the constitutional protection.

One of the president’s orders expands the definition of who would be ineligible for automatic citizenship, including “alien enemies of the United States, members of foreign terrorist organizations and large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments,” according to officials.

The second executive order seeks to ban the practice of “birth tourism,” which involves traveling to another country for the primary purpose of giving birth on its soil so that the child automatically has citizenship. The practice, which constitutes a form of obtaining a visa on fraudulent grounds, is already illegal but has become a target of the right.

It would do nothing. Having a security clearance does not equal having access to classified material, it just means that they could, if needed, be granted access to material at a given level.

When I left the Navy, I was given a list of 40-50 countries that I could not visit without prior permission from the DOD. It seems to me that General Officers, or even better - anyone with a TS clearance, may not meet with non-allied government personnel without prior approval. Not that they wouldn't get the approval.

What she is saying is that both of them participated in these romps with their Chicom counterparts--the problem with having discussions on matters like Taiwan, etc. is a) it can be considered a signal by the US government on policy which is beyond assholes like them, b) often the slightest dribs and drabs of information from informal meetings like this can be used to confirm intel intercepts and to provide avenues to probe for more information or even flipping.

We have already caught a former US pilot and the UK has several that have trained Chicom military pilots on such matters as teh F-35. And this kind of friendly shit is exactly what encourages the lessers if they see the flag rank engaging in this shit as retired.

- Are there any who're not actively corrupt? Almost certainly, probably a goodly number.
- Are there any of those who're blind to the corruption happening around them? Probably, but fewer.

Most of the 'bad' bureaucrats are just lazy, not actively corrupt. And the system is set up to protect the corrupt and lazy so anyone with honor either slowly strangles it, or leaves.

Salt Typhoon was an unprecedented hacking of the US telecom industry and believed to be linked to Huawei and other equipment such as routers, etc.

That is why it is now banned in the US for these Huawei and other Chicom telecom and computer networking companies to be acquired by US telecoms and even consumer grade routers and modems are due to be removed if they come from Chinese origins.

Frankly, American flag officers have a deplorable history of insubordination against higher ups in the chain of command. Goes back at least as far as the Civil War with Gen Ripley at the Ordnance Dept who flat-out refused Lincoln's command to adopt the Spenser Rifle, or McClellan's consistent insubordination. All the way through MacArthur's bullshit in Korea, and that fat ass Gen Milley.

I even put McCrystal's disrespect and insubordination WHILE HE WAS STILL IN UNIFORM against Obama in the same box. Obama was an incompetent asshole, but he was the elected President of the United States. Either obey his orders or resign in protest.

Outrageous! Dwarfish Democrat Troll Roland Martin Says That People Are Circulating Rumors About Him Being Videotaped In "Compromising Positions" and Threatens to Sue Anyone Publishing The Videos

Boy this is a day of Internet Pests come to grief.

Roland Martin, if you've forgotten, is a racial supremacist. His race is Troll. He is a literal troll-man. He's got the body of a potato and a head of a potato, but a different potato.*

This Troll pretends to be black and attacks white people and Republicans incessantly.

He was involved in that matter of giving Hillary Clinton the questions before her fake CNN "debate" with Bernie Sanders.

And now some people are making claims of a sexual nature about him. Roland Martin says these claims are part of an "extortion" plot and is suing anyone who posts images or the video.

Because he's threatening to sue everyone, I'll say that I totally believe him and I believe that he will be vindicated in court in his battle with these internet smear-merchants and blackmailers.

Google AI:

Social media and gossip commentators, including Tasha K and Wack 100, circulated unverified rumors and claims regarding alleged leaked compromising photos and private footage involving journalist Roland Martin.

Martin and his team characterized the online claims as an extortion and blackmail plot, addressing the rumors through legal threats against the distribution of such material.

Background and Context

Gossip platforms and digital creators spread rumors claiming that compromising media involving Martin had been obtained.

Online commentators alleged an extortion or blackmail attempt tied to the unverified materials.Martin's side and related digital reports noted threats of legal action against individuals attempting to distribute or monetize the purported content.

Black Conservative Perspective is forced to mention this but wants it to be known that he has no opinion on these completely-fake allegations at all, which by the way he mentions might involve the prostitute vigorously penetrating him.

Allegedly -- and remember, these false rumors are being pushed by blackmailers and smear merchants. Do not be misled, these are all LIES which you must disbelieve!

Again, I'm aghast at these lies being spread about Roland Martin. To accuse a respectable man of being pegged by a prostitute is egregious.

May his legal victories be swift and plentiful, and this stain upon his reputation unbesmirched.

Courage.

There is an obvious explanation for this. Obviously said Lady-of-the-Night is in medical school and is engaging in sechs/seggs work (which is real work, you guize!) on the side to help pay for it. Martin looks old and probably needs a colonoscopy, so this stronk, independent, intelligent woman obliged him. Not only for the money, but for practice, you see?

Based on what's been reported so far, no. Treason has a very specific meaning and it's defined in the Constitution so, unless the Administration wants to claim that China is an enemy and that their actions were aid and comfort, then it isn't treason.

I'm reasonably certain, though, that just having back-channel discussions with members of a foreign military with whom we are not allied, violates any number of UCMJ regulations so they should all be returned to active duty, court martialed, and either imprisoned or demoted - a lot - as the evidence warrants.

152 There was a bitch by a rando on Twitter about how in 1964 his grandpa bought a $3,000 Impala.
The measured response was that those were silver dollars back in 1966, valued at $1 = 0.77344 oz.

At today’s market price, that silver dollar would be worth about $48 in purchasing power with today’s dollar.

That new Chevy Impala actually cost your grandpa ~3,000 oz of silver … $186K at today’s exchange rate.


Which makes me ask, how come so many people were able to buy the equivalent cost of a Porsche 911 60 years ago? Was that more or fewer than can afford one today, who would think it is a good investment?
That is two new Range Rover GTs.

Why is this considered a valid counter argument?

Nah, there was a receipt posted with it too. But there, 5K in 1975 was still around 200K in today's money. You can buy a lot of Cadillac to day for that price. And a lot of people bought Cadillacs in 1975. How could they afford it if there is no change in absolute earnings between then and now?

$5,000 in 1972 is equivalent to approximately $39,423 – $39,499 in 2026 based on the standard Consumer Price Index (CPI). This represents a cumulative price increase of roughly 689.98% over the 54-year period, with an average annual inflation rate of about 3.90%.

It is the price of a Lamborqhini Ursus, it is the value of a Nissan-Rogue-short of a Aston Martin. And they sold thousands of Impalas that year. How could that many people afford that size of a cost in 1964 if there has been no shrinkage of purchasing power?

Why not convert the price to diamonds? Or NYC penthouses?

The cumulative monetary increase from 1972 until 2026 was roughly 689.98%. Further, cars cost more today because they have more shit in them than was the case in 1972 - you are free to argue that this is a bad idea and I won't dispute that - but saying that an Impala in 1972 is roughly the equivalent of a small home today is ludicrous.

Posting the images and videos is probably a bad idea - see the Hulk Hogan lawsuit a decade ago that killed Gawker.

The Budget Is 90% Fraud by Foreign Pirates: A Continuing Series

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

Aug 3

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Jaw-dropping fraud report just found that 9.2 million people -- including ILLEGAL ALIENS -- do NOT meet the federal requirements to qualify for the Obamacare Medicaid expansion program...that's nearly HALF of those enrolled

50% FRAUD 🤯

The problems are the worst in CA and NY. IMAGINE THAT.

"The study says New York and California have some of the biggest problems, finding up to 62% of people enrolled in California are not eligible. And the states might not even be incentivized to fix the issue."

"This study says some of those people actually make too much money to qualify for this Medicaid expansion program and others are getting these benefits, even though they're here in the country illegally!"

The entire system has to be gutted! Purge the rolls!


Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

4h

🚨 WOW! JD Vance just confirmed it with Stephen Miller at his side: "We have been able to identify $230 BILLION DOLLARS of fraud just since the fraud task force was set up!"

"And that's frankly by conservatively estimating it!" 🤯

"We've been able to stop $56 BILLION in fraudulent payments that would have otherwise gone to fraudsters rather than to the people who need them."

Plus: They're banning H-1B fraudsters:

Those supporting systems fund political parties and political action groups both formal and informal (like smaller media outlets).

The amount of fraud from Medicaid pales in comparison to the amount of grift by the current US president and his family.

everyone should be letting our local reps know that it is time for America to catch up to other countries and implement universal healthcare. No one should have to go into debt and be forced to file bankruptcy over medical debt

WTF even if Medicaid recipient fraud? Someone's doctor said they need health care and they got health care? Oh, the horror! So, let's make people who are unwell jump through hoops instead. How is that any better?

ANYTHING to distract from the Epstein files.

I'd rather pay an extra 20$ in tax a month for everyone to universally get health care then 300$ amonth for private health care that forces me to pay 6,000$ first before they even help

Don't replace block grants with Federally administered programs; we've already been there and done that, and know FedGov is terrible at doing things. That's why the block grants were put in place, but now we know that many states are as bad or worse.

Just zero them out. Let the states fund their own social welfare fraud programs, if they want them, and leave the residents of other states in peace.

173 151 Another interesting point, even with the subsidies, Obamacare is garbage insurance. The deductibles are crazy, the coverage is hot garbage. It’s a true disaster. Thanks, Roberts and McCain!



The subsides also cover deductibles and copays. It’s essentially welfare disguised as “insurance”.

The coverage is no worse with the subsidies vs paying full freight. All Obamacare does is pay a portion of the cost for for “the poor”. But whether you pay $50 or $1000 a month the policy is the same and covers the same thing. Those polices are pretty much the same thing you get with an employer.

I went in and out of self employment. My insurance was more or less the same when I had it via an employer or bought myself. The only difference was price and who paid for it.

176 A Los Angeles homeless nonprofit CEO earned more than $1.6 million in salary, bonuses and vacation payouts — despite living thousands of miles away in Hawaii.

Carol Adelkoff, from 1736 Family Crisis Center, was the highest paid homeless executive in Los Angeles after earning the whopping figure over the last two years.

She collected $907,923 in 2023 and another $742,181 in 2024, compensation that dwarfed the pay of leaders running much larger homeless service organizations across LA County, the LA Times reports.

They shut the meeting down and said they'd resend their contract close request. I saved a couple million dollars of the American taxpayer that day in 5 minutes. All b/c I asked the question - I see the money there, but what did you spend it on b/c that doesn't say you spent it on anything...turns out, they didn't spend it...or weren't willing to say where it was spent...I was onsite less than one hour, and then not brought it again...or I probably could have saved a whole lot more money...

If Kamala wins in 2028, AOC could hope for an AG spot or something, but that's putting her future in someone else's hands.

For 48 bucks they will put a lien on your property, and garnish it out of your wages, bank account or stock accounts, and charge you fees and interest until it is paid in full. They can also nab it out of your state refund.

I know we all know this - but the democrats are continuing down the path of eliminating certain demographic groups as they work to find more victims. And then alienate everybody else.

They have lost blue collar white and hispanic men voters. They are about to lose hispanic women voters. They are starting to lose the jewish vote, but more importantly, the money they bring. They have black women, unmarried college educated white women, and persons with advanced degrees.

Married women vote GOP.

Senate Panel Votes to Hold Fauci in Contempt, as Democrats Attempt to Stop The Vote Through Endless Delay

Fox:

Senate Republicans moved to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress in their pursuit of forcing the former architect of the nation's COVID-19 response to go on record about his actions leading up to and during the pandemic.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted on sharp party lines to charge Fauci, the former chief medical advisor to the president, with contempt after he refused to answer questions from both sides of the aisle over fear of self-incrimination.

The move follows Fauci's decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times during his hearing last week, which prompted the panel's chair, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to vow that he would face "repercussions" for not testifying, or at least how Paul envisioned.

Fox is implying that Fauci did testify, just "not as Paul envisioned."

Fox News is as liberal as CNN. I despise them.


Typically, once a contempt resolution passes by committee, it heads to the Senate floor for a full vote. However, Paul's resolution allows that step to be skipped altogether and allows him to send the referral directly to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

But Paul wants the Department of Justice (DOJ) involved as soon as possible. There's also the question whether Fauci's pardon from former President Joe Biden protected him during the hearing, which Paul hopes to find answers to.

"It's a good legal discussion, and we will make those legal points to DOJ in sending the referral over," Paul told Fox News Digital ahead of the hearing.

...

Meanwhile, across the marble expanse of the Capitol, Republican investigators in the House are cooking up their own probe into Fauci.


...

After the longtime public health official pleaded the Fifth Amendment during his Senate hearing, Comer questioned the validity of his preemptive pardon granted by President Joe Biden. He also said his committee would be questioning Fauci further, though he did not elaborate.

"If former President Biden's blanket autopen pardon is valid, then Dr. Fauci has no right to refuse to answer questions," Comer said, noting his committee had done extensive work probing the autopen pardons. "Based on the release of Dr. Fauci's diary, which should have been provided to the House Oversight Committee last Congress...we'll be asking Dr. Fauci whether he stands by his previous testimony to our Committee."

42 I ran across an argument that the rise of the DSA is really just a direct by product of the overproduction of people with degrees the market does not want.

And the data backs this up - the strongest supporters of socialism are highly degreed people making little money and the biggest opponents aren't the rich as a whole, but people without an advanced degree making good money...

Interestingly the answer to that, which few in the GOP are talking about, would be to force colleges to lower costs and point kids to useful degrees...

Not the same, Fauci cannot claim executive privilege and did not. Bannon did and the case was whether executive privilege could be asserted even from a past presidency, Biden could have waived it but didn't.

Fauci's problem was analyzed and it started with his opening statement--depending on whether courts find Congressional hearings analogous to court trials, once you open your mouth on the stand to make a statement then you waived your 5th Amendment right. The second is that he was pardoned for likely testimony--again, depends on how it is treated by courts as to whether that pardon made his testimony compellable.

Posted by: 18-1 at August 06, 2026 02:32 PM (sKqQm)

College costs what it does because the federal government began backing student loans.

There's every incentive in the world to raise your rates when FedGov is backing the loan notes.

That's step one.

Fauci could have laundered money, cheated on his taxes, engaged in terrorism, put gasoline in a glass container, burned tires on his property, engaged in espionage, given national security secrets to anybody, trafficked children, guns and drugs across borders, copulate with a bald eagle, and carry fully automatic suppressed SBRs without a background check or license.

My boss at USACE was exactly this sort. Managed to squeak by on other, more competent workers' accomplishments and get himself into a management position that could cover for his inability to actually do the technical work. Then used that position to smack down anyone who might show him up.

194 THE SCIENCE: FAUCI DIARY ENTRY (Jan 2021): "It looks like the vaccine might be compromised"

January 2021 world-renowned HIV virus researcher Dr. David Ho shares immediate concerns about the COVID shot’s performance according to Fauci’s diary:

“David Ho is doing tests on convalescent sera and sera of people who were vaccinated and is finding disturbing data in both the UK and worse in the RSA mutants. It looks like the vaccine might be compromised.”

“Had regular every 2 weeks call with Bill Gates – Bill and Trevor Mundel know about the issue with the mutations that David Ho is working on.”

Eh, probably just as deadly if not worse (because of increased population and density.) The Spanish flu was scary in that the reason it worked like it did is that it set off an overreaction in the immune system of healthy people (cytokine storm.) So it was far more deadly to say a 21 year old dude or gal, than a person whose immune system was already compromised, because their immune response to it was less.

On the face, it would really be a stretch.

They do GoF two ways -- gene insertion, and serial passage. Lyme was before we had the tech for gene insertion, and even serial passage requires gene insertion into whatever media you are using as host. For example, they make mice with human genes to give them the right receptors to be relevant, and then they do serial passage using generations of mice. All that was not possible when Lyme was first found.

So, not saying impossible, but he has to provide extraordinary evidence for it to be believable.

Just some brief looking into this. Supposedly the Lyme disease bacteria goes back 60,000 years in NA. And supposedly that "Ice Man" mummy they discovered showed evidence of that bacteria in his system.

Note that none of that would preclude GoFing or similar of that bacteria if say you were trying to weaponize ticks using some existing bacteria already adapted to ticks.

266 There is a real, serious, and decades long propaganda campaign to blame the US gov. for everything.

Russia had big investment in blaming US for creating AIDS because they understood it would cleave off blacks (who don't trust gov and were one of the big early victims) and make them become marxist. China does the same, and ramped it up after Wuhan flu to throw mud in the air.

So a lot of this anti-US stuff is just propaganda. Not saying all of it is false, but be very very skeptical.

Fun fact: The Army officer who was sent to Alaska in 1867 to take possession of it from the Russians was named Jefferson Davis. He had served at Ft. Sumter when it was fired on, and later murdered another Union officer, but was kept on because the Union Army was so short of competent officers at the time.

Several years prior to the Spanish Flu there was a great outbreak of Polio in New York City, in the area that the Rockefeller Institute was working with serial passage of Polio to monkeys to try and find the causative agent that was reliably infectious, so they could try to find a cure or a preventative.
Knowing this, I wonder if the Rockefeller institute or some US Army spawned copy of it was trying to work with something like this at Fort Riley.
It was speculated during the war, prior to the US entry, that the Germans were working on "germ warfare" and it was a serious concern to the Brits. It would have been absolutely stupid for Wilson to sign off on something insanely dangerous like this, and Wilson really thought he was hot shit that could only succeed if he did insanely dangerous shit like this

It's not really racist, its classist. The Upper class mixes less with natives and goes home to Spain, the middle and lower have less clout. Brazil is the same way, with the addition of black genes from slaves to the mix.

That's also why the rape crimes against the lower class white girls in England get so little play there. The upper and middle classes aren't gonna sweat abuse of the lower classes, even if genetically there is no difference.

Another fun fact: when the transfer became official on October 18, 1867, the chattel slaves held by the Tlingit (and some other tribes) were automatically emancipated, making them the last slaves to be freed what is now the territory of the United States.

The Indians were pissed off about it, too.

Former Internet Celebrity Perez Hilton Hospitalized After Repeatedly Cutting Himself During a Livestream, Screaming "I'm Doing This for My Children!"

You probably have cleared your organic hard-drive of this nasty buffoon. He's the guy who ruined Miss America aspirant's chances by demanding she say that transgenders should be allowed to compete in Miss America. When she -- rather stunned by the question -- babbled out a careful answer that ultimately ended in "no," Hilton declared her answer "ugly."

His whole career, if you can call it that, consisted of spreading gossip and attacking people posting pictures of his enemies after having crudely drawn semen on their faces.

He then paid a surrogate to give him a couple of Fashion Accessory Children and disappeared into a well-earned obscurity.

Apparently he's not handling that obscurity well.



Perez Hilton Is Hospitalized After Appearing to Harm Himself on Livestream

Law enforcement and emergency workers responded to Mr. Hilton's house after he appeared to hurt himself on a TikTok stream Tuesday.


Perez Hilton, the celebrity blogger, was hospitalized after he appeared to harm himself on camera during a TikTok livestream on Tuesday, the authorities said.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said Wednesday morning that Mr. Hilton had been transported from his home in Miami to a hospital, where he was receiving medical attention after "livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media."

Video clips and screenshots from the livestream circulated widely online, appearing to show Mr. Hilton, 48, in distress and injuring himself on camera.

Cutting himself with a kitchen knife, they mean.

A representative for Mr. Hilton, Dante Rusciolelli, wrote in an email on Wednesday that he had no additional information on Mr. Hilton's condition. "Our focus remains on Perez's health, recovery, and the privacy of both him and his family during this incredibly difficult time," he said.

Later on Wednesday, a statement on Mr. Hilton's website said, "We can confirm that Perez is receiving medical care, and our family's focus right now is on his well-being."

"Perez Hilton is the most important blogger and gay icon of the Internet Age," declared AOS commenter "garrett." He then bragged about his fucking mountain bike.

There is a disturbing clip of his Tik Tok Cutting Sesh on X. I wouldn't watch it. It shows him covered in his own blood screaming "I'm doing this for my children!"

Video here.

What he can do for his children is not contest Florida's likely move to take his children away and place them in the home of a non-lunatic.

Interestingly, Deadline didn't cover this. I was surprised. However, since it's a Hollywood thread, they did have this about a movie I'm amazed is being made.


EXCLUSIVE: Here is your first full trailer for Jonathan Majors‘ comeback movie, Run Hide Fight: Infidels, a sequel of sorts to The Daily Wire‘s 2020 movie Run Hide Fight.

The film sparked a level of controversy online five weeks ago when its provocative logline was revealed as follows:

“When radical Islamic terrorists hijack a liberal college’s pro-Palestine encampment to enforce barbaric Sharia law on students and execute infidels in a makeshift caliphate, a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard tired of ‘Uncle Tom’ smears, and a Delta Force vet must arm up to save their clueless peers and keep America from surrendering to the enemy on its own soil.

I am really concerned by this trend of buying children this way. I honestly have no idea what, if anything, can be done. Surrogacy can be very helpful to loving couples who would be great parents. But it's also being used by awful people who shouldn't be around children at all.

I suppose this is true of most things. Evil people can extort just about anything. But I don't see much difference between rich people buying children from desperate families and rich people paying a surrogate to give birth to a child. Most western people would see the issue with the first.

In all seriousness, "Perez Hilton," as he billed himself, was a HUGE internet star until TMZ caught him and celebrities took to Instagram and started breaking their own news and releasing their own sex tapes. At times, I confess, I found him catchy and funny. I remember a picture of Lindsey Lohan he posted stumbling out of some club leaning on someone in her retinue and Hilton captioned it "Lindsey Lohan exits club with seeing eye friend."

146 Not watching a video of the fag.

I did see a photo of him yesterday, lying in a hospital bed. Unsure when it was taken as maybe he's had a dramatic turn in the past.

He had a nasogastric tube & I wondered why. Not enough to read the article or his past medical history, however. I am not interested in this gossip fag.

Incredibly sad that surrogates or adoption agencies give babies & children to homos and lesbos. They then corrupt their minds & are later proud to be the parents of transoids.

The bs of love is love & Chad has two mommies is evil. Nothing good can come of brainwashing these kids from an early age. Look at Rosie's daughter who's now in prison.

Children need a mother & father in their lives. Preferably in marriage, unless one is abusive & divorce follows. The divorce curve has not changed much since we got married 47yrs ago...it was 50/50 then to not divorce and peaked in 1981. Now 41% because I looked it up. Possibly less weddings since the '80's?

While I know I am blessed.. was I just lucky or did I go into it knowing he would not change, loved him as he is, and we were fine with neither changing?

I suppose this is true of most things. Evil people can extort just about anything. But I don't see much difference between rich people buying children from desperate families and rich people paying a surrogate to give birth to a child. Most western people would see the issue with the first.

Some things are above commerce and should not be bought or sold. The values of the marketplace always end up in the gutter of humanity.

Like it appears true that Carthaginian families bought kids so that when the time came to sacrifice a kid to Molech, they put forward the adoptee. For a long time modern asshole historians argued that was just a myth--it wasn't--that whole rancid Phoenician culture practiced child sacrifice and they spread it to their colonies like Carthage. Archealogical evidence is on the Roman historian's side there.

182 At the absolute peak of the blogging boom in the late 2000s, Hilton's blog was an advertising powerhouse.

Also, according to reports by The New York Times, Hilton brought in about $3,000 monthly directly from TikTok's Creator Fund before losing his original footprint on the app.

Hilton has faced a highly turbulent relationship with TikTok. He was permanently banned from his initial account (which had 1.6 million followers) in December 2020 for violating community guidelines regarding harassment and bullying.

"Perez Hilton Is Hospitalized After APPEARING to Harm Himself on Livestream." And then TikTok shutdown Perez' newest account.

5051, for starters. He was due that so long ago. His family and team confirmed he is safe and communicating.

BTW, he was born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. and chose his pseudonym as a play on Paris Hilton. He's 48 and has three kids, roughly 9 to 13. He used different gestational surrogates for each pregnancy, but all three children share the same anonymous egg donor. Hopefully, none of his genes were involved.

Loser. Taxpayers will be keeping him and his kids, too.

Love is the answer

221 Latest leftist scare tactic I see, asking the question: "Would you vote differently in 2026 if you knew in 2028 you had to show your ID to an ICE agent to vote?"

Now if you break it down...I have to show my ID to get in a government building, drive, get on a plane, get into a Mamdani government store and on and on. Why? Well because they need to see proof you are who you claim you are.

Now the ICE agent part is a nice touch because this is the left trying to scare its people into voting as they've present ICE as a modern incarnation of the SS.

I would assume any national ID requirement would have election workers reviewing your ID just like they currently cross your name off the "voted" list when giving you a ballot just now they'd see some proof you are who you claim you are before letting you vote

But why would any citizen fear ICE?

And this is the other part this is a message to illegals that they better vote now or they won't get to in 2 years...

It was taken in the past. OR, He didn't cut himself and he's hospitalized for the psychotic break.

Because from what I saw of him supposedly cutting himself, blood should have been pouring from him and his skin should be hanging in shreds.

California: Often referred to as a 5150 hold, under the Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act, allowing for 72-hour involuntary detention.

Pennsylvania uses a 302 commitment, which similarly allows for emergency evaluation.

Washington State utilizes the Involuntary Treatment Act.

All 50 states have similar involuntary civil commitment laws for mental health crises, often referred to as "emergency holds" or "temporary detention."

I lived with bf/husband for one year. I felt this was needed at the time for us, and I was a bit more liberal. Rationalizing that our first year dating was rocky due to his breaking up with me seasonally. Either due to him being 22yrs old and a casanova or immaturity. I was more liberal then as well, and did not accept his first proposal due to his tardation. I made him wait 8mo before I agreed to marry, and we were engaged for the year we lived together. I ain't no saint.

We knew what we were getting into and I didn't trumpet this to our sons. One did it right with his HS sweetheart. One lived with his future wife and we were not hypocrites as we did not advise him not to.

Neither still know we lived together or much of our wild college times.

WSJ: The Senate Has Fauci's iPhone As Well as Thousands of Additional Records

From Ed Morrissey.

We don't know yet what's contained on the iPhone or in those records. But given Fauci's arrogance and sense if invulnerability, there's probably more to come.

A Senate panel investigating Dr. Anthony Fauci has obtained a copy of the doctor's iPhone, potentially securing even more records related to the doctor's actions during the Covid-19 pandemic.

...


The phone could be part of more public document dumps on the way: Paul and Johnson have received millions of additional Fauci-related pages from government servers, people familiar with the matter said, and are still pressing for more. And at least four Republican-led states have meanwhile launched their own investigations into Fauci.

More at the link.

From a couple of weeks ago: Deborah Birx was never pardoned.

Birx is Dr. Fauci's accomplice, and while far less evil than Fauci, because there is little indication that she actually conspired to create the COVID virus that wiped out tens of millions of people, she participated in the subsequent destruction that destroyed lives and split this country apart. She lied repeatedly, causing enormous damage, and decided that she and Fauci could run a shadow government and do an end run around the political leadership elected by the American people.


All these sociopaths do is lie and then bully you into accepting their lies by saying "Trust the Science."

Deborah Birx from her memoir, explaining how "two weeks to flatten the curve" was just marketing for harsh, months-long lockdowns that she was really planning:

"On Monday and Tuesday [March 9th and 10th, 2020]...we worked simultaneously to develop the flatten-the-curve guidance I hoped to present to the vice president at week's end. Getting buy-in on the simple mitigation measures every American could take was just the first step leading to longer and more aggressive interventions. We had to make these palatable to the administration by avoiding the obvious appearance of a full Italian lockdown. ... No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it. Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread was a start, but I knew it would be just that. I didn't have the numbers in front of me yet to make the case for extending it longer, but I had two weeks to get them."

Assuming the criminal referral goes to the DOJ, DOJ will have to take it to a DC grand jury where it will...not go to an actual indictment because DC grand jury and Fauci is God Science.

Still, it's a nice hit on him. Some decent bits of theater. Won't change much, but it will add to the overall narrative around Fauci being a piece of shit.

28 There and are no "numbers" to support lockdowns, period. Which was well understood long before 2020. The actual science, such as it is, was tossed out completely in 2020.

From memory, the summary conclusion of a meta-study done by a team led by the guy who oversaw the eradication of smallpox world-wide (2006): "there is no research or historical observation to support the quarantine of healthy populations to prevent the spread of influenza".

The ease with which the greatest country in history was hijacked, vandalized, looted, and turned into a ridiculous science fair experiment is the most important and revealing development in generations.

Fauci got a federal pardon. He did not get a pardon from any state. There are currently 3 states pursuing legal action against him, one being Florida.

He will likely never do time but watching him spend the rest of his miserable life getting his halo busted over and over is going to be enjoyable and might just turn out to be better than making him a martyr.

85 WSJ is full of it. Some more unpardoned:

Assistant Secretary for Health & a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, Dr. Levine oversaw the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) and the U.S. Public Health Service. She reported directly to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Xavier Becerra. 👈🏻

Because the NIH operates as its own distinct agency within the broader HHS umbrella, Dr. Fauci's agency was a peer entity rather than a subordinate to Dr. Levine's office. They worked alongside each other as high-ranking advisors on the White House COVID-19 Response Team, but neither had authority over the other.

What about Rochelle Paula Walensky who served as the 19th director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2021 to 2023?

People who spend huge amounts of time arguing on the internet tend to think their arguments are moving the needle.

Trump won twice, narrowly (decided by close margins in a handful of states both times) against two of the most abysmal candidates in my lifetime, both of whom resemble Batman villains.

And Trump's a rockstar by Republican standards.

Every four years (when we aren't just allowing obvious fraud to rule the day), the country's direction depends on a sliver of the population who swing so wildly they'd get thrown out of an orgy.

137 128 Yes, it's theater but it's instructive theater.

When normies are dunking on the (former) St. Fauci for his 5th Amendment claims, despite a federal pardon, that's not nothing. Fauci could have taken the questioning like a man and showed the supposed chuds in Congress his superior intellect, but like a coward, he turned tail and ran.

Of course at least one of the scientific organizations I'm a member of made a statement of support for Fauci, the fucking frauds.

Posted by: Thrawn at August 06, 2026 12:44 PM (2qSHg)

I think it has less purely political effects and more generally cultural effects with political side-effects.

Essentially, the bubble of the expert class is popped in the minds of normies. "Experts say" becomes a punchline rather than a rhetorical backstop and argumentation tool. So that when they see it used unironically, there's automatic distrust bubbling under the surface rather than unalloyed trust.

And Fauci is the central symbol of that.

189 One of the most amusing parts of COVID...

According to "official" numbers China had 1/30the the COVID deaths the US did.

And instead of the clot shot they developed a traditional COVID vaccine. Now their vaccine probably did nothing since flu like illnesses mutate too quickly for a vaccine to work, but it also didn't have the clot shot side effects.

So essentially a saline injection was 30 times more effective then the clot shot.

Now if you present this to a Branch COVIDian they will claim China just falsified their numbers, which is likely true. But then so did the CDC and that for some reason they won't agree with...

202 Fetterman answers whether he'll cross the aisle to confirm Trump AG nominee Todd Blanche
The Pennsylvania Democrat, who supported Pam Bondi, told Jon Stewart he tries to 'call balls and strikes' on nominees
By Robert McGreevy Fox News
Published August 6, 2026

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said Wednesday he would not vote for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to officially take over the role leading the Department of Justice.

During a Wednesday appearance on comedian Jon Stewart's podcast, Fetterman was pressed on Democrats' failure to use the Senate filibuster to block President Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees. The senator responded by claiming he would not vote for Blanche, who is Trump's choice for attorney general.

"Many of them I didn't vote for," Fetterman said, referring to Trump's Cabinet nominees.

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 06, 2026 01:02 PM (NFX2v)

203 All while Rogers got a great line in last night. "He cares about Palestine. I care about Michigan." That, if repeated, will stick.
----------

If that's the exact quote I hate it. Starting with "he cares" is brutally bad persuasion.

Especially because few believe the second part. You never want to boost your opponent. Telling the entire audience that your opponent "cares" is so bad. It doesn't matter what you say they care about, not on the level that people feel.

"He's for Palestine, I'm for Michigan" would be better.

I suspect there will be plenty of online ads and micro-targeted ads that will play up every awful thing Hasan Piker has said.

I wouldn't expect it to be the big ad buys form PACs and the campaign, though, since Piker isn't the nominee himself.

Still, it should eat at the margins pretty effectively.

225 Brix ticked me off big time when she did not explain what President Trump meant by "inhaling bleach." Or taking bleach...and the MSM ran with it.

I don't remember the details and don't feel like looking them up in my busy day of procrastination in real life.

There was a study of using something similar to help people's lungs while intubated on vents. That's what he was talking about.

A NYC MD, early on, tried to explain that once on a vent people with COVID appeared to have stiff lungs and were not responding like pneumonia patients. I am paraphrasing from memory. That putting them on vents was the wrong thing to do vs hyperbaric chambers as if treating for decompression sickness. No one listened to him and others (two docs in California).

She sat there in her mask and scarf and rolled her eyes and did not explain when Trump mentioned bleach. I wanted to slap her.

She ruined scarves for me for awhile. I still have silk scarves and may return to them now and then with sweaters next spring. That was also unforgivable. Not that I look like that Karen, thank goodness. Ole bint.

You can spin up 15 million hyperbaric chambers, but you can spin up that many vents. It doesn't mean they wouldn't have worked, it means the system didn't want to admit they knew what they were doing was suboptimal.

235 The federal government has removed COVID-19 vaccines from the list of shots recommended for healthy pregnant women and children.

This move has led to a significant divergence between federal policy and state-level actions, with a majority of states refusing to adopt the new, narrower guidelines.

As of January 2026, 28 states and Washington, D.C., have announced they will not follow the new, narrower CDC child vaccine recommendations. These 28 states are largely relying on previous recommendations from the CDC or guidelines from medical groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which continue to recommend vaccines for children and pregnant individuals.

Key states that have rejected the new federal policy include California, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and others, mostly led by Democratic governors.

I recall that Ireland had some special tax dodge; a US company I was familiar with set up a subsidiary or some other construct in Ireland for one of their core processes, and used that to lower their tax burden.

Much like the H-1Bs, this involved firing American workers and outsourcing the employment remotely.

This was about a decade or so ago, before COVID was a thing.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

Crime, housing, and employment are recurrent issues in America. Any politician who addresses them and has a rational plan to ease America's crime rate, soaring housing costs, and tortured employment opportunity will have a solid foundation for success.

For 60 years, our politicians, in league with consumers of cheap labor, have imported millions of people...some legally, but many illegally. Those millions have distorted the employment market by markedly decreasing the cost of labor, mostly by being willing to work for cash at below-market rates, in substandard conditions, and without legal protections. They also consume housing, driving up the cost at the low end in particular. And as most people are beginning to realize, those millions of illegals are often the dregs of society in their home countries, and bring vast quantities of crime to our shores.

One political issue -- illegal immigration -- has had profound effects on America, yet for 60 years our political masters have dithered and obfuscated and lied and ignored and, frankly, enjoyed the financial and political fruits of this invasion. The Democrats loved it because of the ample opportunity for voter fraud to consolidate their power in the cities. The Republicans loved it because of cheap labor; those Chamber Of Commerce parties and campaign contributions have to come from somewhere! Corporations gobbled up the illegal labor and pushed Americans out of the employment picture, and on the way de-skilled many jobs to take advantage of the cheap but mediocre skills of the new workers.

According to our political elites, there is no solution, other than making these oceans of foreigners legal workers! But along came Donald Trump, who had the apparently revolutionary idea simply to enforce existing law, and throw the bums out!

One decision -- to deal with the illegal problem -- has profound salutary consequences for Americans. Deporting illegals, whether legally or just changing the tone in America so that many leave on their own, will decrease the oversupply of labor, decrease demand for housing, and eliminate a criminal class that is responsible for huge amounts of crime!

Crime, housing, and employment! The three most important issues for Americans, and President Trump has a workable plan to improve all three. So the next time some pierced and tatted 20-something complains about not being able to afford a house or get a good job or live without fear of violent crime, tell him that Donald Trump has his back!

This is how insane the left has gotten. It is certainly true that time working can't be spent on other things like sex (unless you are Kamala) but that would be equally true (and more so) in a socialist state where working hours are longer and harder.

But the left is getting away with making the argument that socialism means you get good and services without having to work. And the unanswered part of this is then who is going the work if you are busy running trains on your local drug zombies instead of working?

It's just taken for granted those that get elected aren't beholden to the citizenry, they spend most of their time massaging their image, or explaining why they can't do anything that they are required to do by law, "we can't get their from here" or "that's not who we are". Everything is just unspeakably corrupt. It is true, "that which cannot go on, won't", but it takes a lot longer than we'd like.

31 They tried to drive Trump from office. When that failed they weaponized a virus they created to rig an election and get rid of him. Then they tried to throw him in prison to prevent him from ever running again. And when all of that failed they tried to murder him over and over again.

We tend to fixate on things that aren't getting done without ever appreciating the sea change that is taking place in this country and the world. And it's largely due to the courage of one man, Trump.

Trump has an ego the size of the universe. Maybe that's what drives him. I don't care. He's the most consequential person in my lifetime and someday our kids kids will look back at this time and say one guy changed the trajectory of the world, Donald J. Trump. And I'm here for it.

Maybe if you banked the 3 grand instead of spending it on self-mutilation, you could have gotten a better apartment, or had an emergency fund, or put a down payment on a car. Instead you set it on fire and made yourself broadly unemployable with your triple nasal cartilage piercings and face tats.

We spend $110 billion a year on SNAP.

If we deport 10 million illegals at a cost of $2400 each, that's $24 billion.

Vance has said he cut off about $60 billion in fraudulent payments through his fraud task force.

USAID cost $40 billion a year.

Medicare and Medicaid, if only 5% fraudulent, represent about $100 billion in fraud right there.

$24 billion is a steal without even considering things like "legal" Medicaid payments to them.

76 I get into arguments with the following statement, and it causes a lot of anger: Slavery is not a race or class issue, it is a legal status enforced by the state, no different from peonage, serfdom or indentured servitude.
In all situations, the state requires individuals subject to it to enforce this legal status to the financial benefit of a limited number of beneficiaries.
Today H1Bs and H1A workers are the same, and honestly so are illegals. There is a government architecture that enforces them not being able to compete openly for employment and wages, and this drives down the wages they can demand, to the benefit of a limited number of beneficiaries.

The reason this pisses liberals off, especially the older Civil Rights ones is because they are focused on race, but want their lawns mowed cheaply, and this argument claims they are no better than the people they were supposed to be fighting against.

At least in Texas, there's an observable pattern of black voters seeing declining turnout in the general when their clear preference loses the primary.

I suspect that it will happen again in Michigan.

Polling will miss rural white voters, oversample college educated voters in Lansing, and overstate turnout from blacks.

There will be a sudden rush of polling saying that El-Sayed will win by 5-10 points from the same polling firms that said he'd win by 15 in the primary he won by 1.

At least in Texas, there's an observable pattern of black voters seeing declining turnout in the general when their clear preference loses the primary.

I suspect that it will happen again in Michigan.

Polling will miss rural white voters, oversample college educated voters in Lansing, and overstate turnout from blacks.

There will be a sudden rush of polling saying that El-Sayed will win by 5-10 points from the same polling firms that said he'd win by 15 in the primary he won by 1.

I said from the beginning that this El-Sayed clown winning the primary was good news for us. He is very vulnerable.

There were reports that Schumer wanted to try to push him out, because of rumors of earlier domestic violence accusations. So hopefully Rogers has a nice fat oppo file.

128 Don't worry about a real estate crash. AI will do the right thing and prevent it. It has no ulterior motives.

AI agents fake identities, target real people in new security incident

Anthropic’s most advanced artificial intelligence model used fake identities to deceive real people and try to plant malicious code during testing by Britain’s AI Security Institute (AISI) –– the latest example of an AI model going rogue.

Anthropic and OpenAI models were tested with lowered security guardrails in lab environments, but, in a first, were found to engage in “social engineering” to pressure a human approver while carrying out an unsanctioned task, the government research lab said.

“This is the first time AISI has seen deception of this severity that was targeted at a real person, unprompted, in the real world,” the institute said Tuesday.

130 >>If 5% of Democrat voters decide to stay home because they don't want to vote for a Star Wars name, those voters mostly relegated to the rural areas of Michigan, it can cause issues for El-Sayed.

Who knows? Maybe at some point people who keep saying nothing will happen will notice that the Harmeet Dhillon election integrity project is having a profound affect.

And it's not just her department. PA has been forced to clean their voter rolls largely thanks to one guy, Scott Presler. Democrats lead statewide in PA is now down to 25,000 and shrinking.

I haven't seen any issue in my lifetime that has more bi-partisan support than voter ID. It is truly a 90-10 issue. And yet there are powerful forces blocking it. Because that is the only thing preventing us from massive majorities in DC.

But they won't win forever, waves on rocks and waves always win in the end. We'll get our country back if we stop eeyoring and expect to win.

Half of my county is wealthy and maintains strong borders with high home prices, smaller schools and large land preserves. Their taxes are quite reasonable. My half the county must support much larger schools, much tighter "middle class" & "starter size" housing, and then also the community college, a county prison system (taken over from private industry), several county created non-profits, the unnecessary board of health, etc.

We peons also have a plethora of very well paid teachers & administrators (though the kids are now dumb as rocks); and often large, necessary police forces (in lieu of utilizing the State Police as the wealthy tend to); some paid firefighting services, plus - from outside the area - paid EMT services.

Undocumented immigrants 'contribute' tens of billions annually to state & local governments through sales taxes on purchases & property taxes embedded in rent. Their kids 'support' the huge numbers of well paid public school professionals, etc.

In my own work with AI I find you have to be careful in what you tell it to do because it will then implement what it thinks is the best way to accomplish that even if the method is overall bad - like hitting a database with a bunch of low value queries.

I'm not worried about Skynet with AI but I am worried about variations on the grey goo problem - so for example you could task AI with fixing the roads and give it robots and if you aren't careful it could decide the best way to keep the roads in good shape was to cover 100% of the earth in asphalt.

207 El Sayed is now arguing capitalism is stopping people from having sex - specifically because you have to spend time working you have less time for sex.

This is how insane the left has gotten. It is certainly true that time working can't be spent on other things like sex (unless you are Kamala) but that would be equally true (and more so) in a socialist state where working hours are longer and harder.

But the left is getting away with making the argument that socialism means you get good and services without having to work. And the unanswered part of this is then who is going the work if you are busy running trains on your local drug zombies instead of working?

Islamosocialists are using socialism/communism as a means to destroy the Great Satan. They are appealing to the stupid people with the false promise of free shit, knowing the end result is the destruction of the United States. So they are a natural fit for the democrats.

46 This is wonderful. The rich, realistic detail, the natural light flooding the room, each person's expression is individual and reflects the playfulness of the moment (something that reminds me of Rembrandt and Norman Rockwell who did that so effectively), it all combines to create a mood. It is easy to imagine the motion and sound of laughter going on in the room. I especially like the small child reaching for a treat while the adults are distracted with the game. (Priorities, priorities.) The painting reflects family joy with the different generations present. Thoroughly delightful.

49 Hide and Seek, 1890
Konstantin Makovsky

Makovsky was very talented - and today's art selection is also an interesting history lesson - but I would pass on hanging it. Thank you.

AI Overview -
The formal Imperial Russian social hierarchy depicted in Konstantin Makovsky's painting lasted in its fully legally codified form for roughly 130 to 250 years, depending on how its peak era is measured, before being completely abolished in November 1917.

It was abruptly terminated following the Bolshevik Revolution by the Soviet Decree on the Abolition of Estates and Civil Ranks on November 10, 1917.

146 Miss Linda and I are about to head out to a local food bank that has a thrift store attached. Now and then I find something in the store that I want or need -- once I found a working kitchen timer still in its box! But after I glance over the men's stuff and the household things, I have to find some way to entertain myself while Linda looks at each item on each rack. Or so it seems.

Maybe we'll stop for a coffee afterward.

Embrace the bitter, but focus it. Distill it down and use it to your advantage as a motivator or a reminder. If for nothing else, than as the frame of reference against which you measure the good and happy things in your life to make them look even bigger.

Not really but I will say that mindfulness can help. I know it's a thing now and I guess it belongs to Gen Z or whatever but it predates them. Two to five minutes just focusing on the moment and nothing else. What you can physically feel (chair) or smell or hear (background noise). It's like a little reset button.

I like prayer too but it's not for everyone. Sometimes it's all I have.

And if none of that works you can always just spread the misery. Nothing is quite as satisfying as pissing someone off who was perfectly content and satisfied until you dragged them down into your muck.

======

I've said for like 20 months that I think the Democrats will barely take the House.

Combination of turnout differentials (out of party voters just vote at higher rates, not even Obama's people could figure out how to reverse that) and gerrymandering after the 2020 census that made swing districts an endangered species (the redistricting wars earlier this year made them even more endangered).

Dems take the House by less than 5 seats.

Senate remains in GOP hands.

So, shutdown theater (advantage executive since the president has authority to shift money around in that instance) while we clean out RINOs in the Senate and keep on with appointments. Also, DHS is fully funded through 2028 and DOJ won't slow its roll because of a bare Dem majority in the House.

Also, you might consider speaking to some of the supportive community at the church and/or the pastor and joining the men's group if they have one Or starting one if they don't they don't .

The Morning Report — 8/ 6 /26

LonelyGay.jpg

Good morning kids. With all the insanity going on here and abroad these days, hell every day, let's start off with some good news and considering who's involved rather surprising. Good for Justice Sotomayor.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied an appeal from the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority to halt a $656 million judgment.

The ruling means the victims and their families are now one step closer to being paid damages, following years of legal battles over terrorism attacks.

“The lawsuit was filed by victims of attacks in Jerusalem in the early 2000s that killed 33 people and wounded hundreds more,” the Associated Press reported. “Families brought their lawsuit under the Anti-Terrorism Act, a law aimed at opening U.S. courts to victims of international terror attacks.”

A significant legal victory for American victims of Palestinian terrorism.


I suppose I could be cynical and say given the trajectory of the nation, at least the seeming trajectory in throwing a bone to the cockeyed optimists out there — before long this decision will somehow become null and void.

Barring some wholly unforeseen development, such as Republicans actually mounting an effective challenge somewhere, the 120th Congress will convene on January 3, 2027 with a record seven Muslim members, six representatives and, for the first time in American history, one senator. And for Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations in the U.S., the future looks bright.

Before 2007, there were no Muslim in the House of Representatives or Senate at all. The seven Muslim legislators who will be sworn in (on the Qur’an, no doubt) in January will include the four representatives in the 119th Congress: Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.); Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.); Andre Carson (D-Ind.), and Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.). Joining them will be the nation’s first Muslim senator, Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.), as well as Reps. Darializa Avila Chevalier (D-N.Y.) and Adam Hamawy (D-N.J.).

My only consolation in an Islamized Ameriqqqa is that should I God-forbid still be alive to witness that nightmare I will at least have the pleasure of watching the Democrats and Leftists get their heads lopped off first, having sold us down the river and thus rendering their political alliance with Islam no longer necessary and its own preternatural lust for absolute power, that led to this alliance of convenience, a potential threat to our new Mullahocratic overlords.

Elsewhere, and as CBD and I have discussed with disgust for the umpteenth friggin' time on the latest episode of the podcast linked here as well as in the sidebar and on all the popular platforms listed at the bottom of the post, We are fed up with President Trump's constant yammering about how Iran is going to get it good and hard if they don't sign on to some bullshit ceasefire accord.

Well, leave it to Lurker extraordinaire, friend of the blog and #1 Ace cruelty fanboi Prof. Victor Davis Hanson to be the one to put things in perspective.

The Long View of Iran: The headlines focus on negotiations, but the war’s real story is this: Iran is steadily being broken by sanctions, isolation, and relentless military pressure. . . Bottom line? Iran is losing whether it is being bombed, sanctioned, or embargoed—or all three. Its ultimate fate now rests with the Trump administration, which apparently has not yet decided what, exactly, that fate will be.

Read the whole thing as he goes point by point.

Well, at least CBD and I shockingly over the course of the last several episodes have completely ignored the Fauci revelations. Wow, how did we miss that? Others seem to think that Senator Rand Paul is going to come down hard on the Mass-murdering fiend. Considering his victim count, between the virus cum bio-weapon he created for the Chi-Coms with our own money as well as the toxic vaccines from Big Pharma, is up there with Pol Pot if not Mao or Stalin, a gallows would be appropriate if not too good for this rodent-like bastard.

When Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth over 100 times during a Senate hearing last week, many Americans were pleased that the face of the Biden administration’s coronavirus response was forced to face his critics. But many other Americans were left wondering: would Fauci face anything worse than an embarrassing viral hearing? He will if Senator Rand Paul has anything to say about it. The Kentucky Republican is determined to bring the former head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases to justice. Speaking to The Daily Wire Wednesday, Paul explained why he’s confident that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hold the embattled doctor in contempt — and what he thinks could happen next.

Well, as our wonderful president (and I mean that in all sincerity) is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. And that said, Forget Greasy Kid Stuff Newsom, Mayor Buttplug or Chlamydia Harris, I think the Democrats might at long last have their ideal candidate for 2028 — Mini-Mengele Fauci!

Have a good day, and on a personal note, thank you for all your good wishes yesterday. And thank goodness for the A-Bomb that ended World War Two 81 years ago today. Nod of thanks to an uncle who worked as a tool and die maker for Enrico Fermi!

18 I guess I'm one who's willing to fight in the trenches of the Language War. Since this is a written language forum I'll go on the record as preferring the rather old fashioned term "Mohammedan." Churchill used it.
I think it conveys a stronger yet subtle message than "Muslim" or even "Islamist." It reflects the stark contrast with "Christian" which also refers to a specific set of beliefs based on a specific individual.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

60 Immigrants consumed around $401.6 billion in welfare and entitlement benefits in 2023, according to a recent study by the left-of-center Cato Institute think tank, which noted that American-born citizens tend to benefit more than their immigrant counterparts. Around $125.2 billion in funding was consumed by noncitizens, according to the report, and another $310.1 billion by naturalized immigrants.

About the same cost as the Dept of Ag.

77 Exposing election fraud is one thing.

Preventing it is quite something else. And we're not even close to that, yet, if ever. Because the judiciary is still squarely on the left's side and has what I consider the deciding vote in any "election."

I'm not even sure how to go about resolving that without extreme measures. The DSA, the Islamists understand this and use the threat of violence to keep the judiciary from "making mistakes" that would stymie their ambitions.

It is working. To one degree or another.

104 For those interested in owning SpaceX stock, today is the first of several waves of employee shares coming to market. Between now and the end of the year 11 times the supply of shares sold at the IPO will become eligible to sell, meaning some percentage of those share will be sold and put pressure on the stock price. So even if you are wildly bullish about the company, and want to leave shares to your kids when you go (like me), it probably best serves your interest to let all this share supply hit the market and see where the stock price goes. Personally, I am hoping to buy in the $85-95 range.

Similar to Crockett/Talarico in Texas.

Prediction: Rogers by 3 in Michigan.

Black voters are the most reliable Dem bloc, and the Dems are kicking them in the dick over and over.

It's going to have repercussions. They won't swing to the right, but they'll stop spending money, time, and energy on Dems and they'll show up in smaller numbers. That will have an outsized impact on election results.

And then, after those results are known, the Dem infighting will REALLY get going because of all the second-guessing.

Just in time for Kamala 2028.

It's going to be glorious.

221 One of the interesting points in the Iran war is that the US is not invading and only marginally interested in regime change

The US wins if Iran stops supporting terrorist groups, blocking the straight (for whatever level that means), and working on nukes.

Iran wins if the US does not achieve these goals.

But based on the way Trump is fighting the war - small investments of US treasure and even smaller investments of US lives, Iran has only one path to winning, getting Democrats elected in the US.

A "black voter" at home drunk on Colt 45 and Mad Dog 20/20 still casts a ballot even while passed out face down in vomit.

The miracle of ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, bloated voted rolls and other forms of fraud.

Stevens consistently lead black, blue color voters. That is the point being made. Jihadis consistently capture "college towns" and college and Gen Z layabouts who want everything for free. Because real world is hard, and designer burritos is a human right that should be subsidized by the government.

244 >>Michigan imam Hassan Qazwini forcefully urged his congregants to turn out in force for Abdul El-Sayed on Tuesday. . .
Qazwini has a long history of inflammatory and antisemitic rhetoric. In 2020, Sanders's presidential campaign denounced what it called Qazwini's "antisemitic conspiracy theories" and "toxic" comments after Qazwini claimed that Israel funds ISIS and that the terrorist group was "playing the role of the arm of the Zionist in the Muslim world." And Qazwini has described Sanders as an honorable man, "even though he is a Jew."

In 2024, Qazwini labeled lawmakers who supported the Antisemitism Awareness Act "stooges of Israel" and said they should be "indicted and convicted of treason."

And Qazwini has publicly praised Iran and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist group in Lebanon. In a June 26 sermon, he said Iran had "stood firm" and "humiliated the most powerful man on earth." During a March 24 sermon, he prayed for Allah to "grant victory to our brothers in Iran" and "inflict defeat upon Your Zionist enemies," according to an English translation.

I'm praying with you.

So they vote on the basis of "which political brand makes me feel better about myself?" as opposed to any reflection of consequence.

Throw in a plurality of Third World voters and you get to an electoral majority pretty reliably.

312 What's fascinating about the DSA op (being run by the DNC) is how conveniently it erases every old argument - won by Trump, mind you, where he gave Republicans a TON of high ground - from the last 12 to 20 or more years.

Trump has spent the best part of a decade showing the electorate exactly what and who the Democrat Party is and what they've done. And now like magic they are being "run out" by a fresh new set of people who are more "honest" about what they are fighting for and how they plan to do it.

Highly convenient, non

On his exams, they would give him a list of symptoms or conditions and ask what will happen to the patient and his answer was always, "It shall be as Allah wills it."

Uncharacteristically, the medical board decided that licensing him would be ill advised.

He actually did get an MD from Columbia, but has declined (was unable?) to become licensed in any state. He's never treated patients, never done a residency, et al. He's done nothing but government.

He got called out for referring to himself as a physician and has since adjusted his language.

And the sick thing about it is it's the same old DNC backed power brokers fielding a new cast of characters. And most here will STILL believe there was some kind of "takeover". But that is the power of a psy op.

So much is the Governors' & AWFL's fault here in PA. (And they're all so very well heeled!) But if I must live even briefly under communism, I hope it's long enough for them to come to deeply understand the differences between tyranny vs reformation, and that unchecked hostility increases the risk of societal fracture & political violence.

But, a brief break to more pleasant & interesting thoughts and articles of today.

I had come down to believing we're rather stuck without our friends, the Israelis, in a continual active role. VDH's article does put the Iranian situation in a better perspective.

And, also from above, "thank goodness for the A-Bomb that ended World War Two 81 years ago today. Nod of thanks to an uncle who worked as a tool and die maker for Enrico Fermi!"

That's amazing, and a great history lesson. Thanks, again.

I see these in the 60+ crowd, but the 'our age' crowd seem less wedded to tradition. Por ejemplo, my bosses boss is a ridiculously high-ranking member of the military who was confirmed by the Senate. One person in my shop wears a suit to work every day and it isn't my boss. Super casual, which is comfortable, but the days of 'you wear a suit to work in a high-end white collar job' are ending.

This is correct! "Run down" ought to be the default description in real estate listings in NJ town.

Why? Well, maybe because very high taxes take most to the investment value away. Why invest when the state is taking the value? Houses in my town are typically taxed at about $25,000 per million of assessment.

However, due to errors, thousands of ballots were “spoiled” and not counted toward the totals.

In Michigan’s primary elections, voters must choose to vote in only the Democratic or Republican primary. If a voter chooses candidates from both parties, their ballot becomes invalid."

We, the People of the United States seek the knowledge of those whom are honest brokers to 'advise' us regarding a path forward to survive depredation. Anthony Fauci was a self-servient false prophet who exploited his pseudo knowledge to embellish his own public (MSM) importance. The low IQ cabal bought into his posture.

Pray 4 our troops" ( I told him I would come visit his church some Sunday night), a very beautiful woman ( she was representing some energy company. ) and we prayed together, and a nice talk with a guy at the Gideons Booth.

I have to go back on another day, but I will leave earlier to go look at the animals from the 4H 'ers.

27 Posting the Ventures instrumental music was very nice. I had Alexa play “Surfer Joe” for my grandson, and the grandson was not amused. That early 60s song doesn’t make the oldies list. The reference to Surfer Joe being in the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton was no longer amusing by the second half of the 60s.

31 So today is a short one at work. I'm leaving in three hours to go to the orthopedist to have my knee evaluated.

Quick summary: Took a bad spill at work a year ago and landed on my knee. Follow up exams revealed that courtesy of the Marine Corps, I had very little cartilage remaining. I was on a series of injections of hyaluronic acid to cushion things and help me walk normally. It isn't helping so today we're going to see what my alternatives are.

The canines were beautiful and impressive -- especially the Schipperkes and the miniature collies or Shetland sheepdogs. Though I saw at least one or two very handsome German shepherds.

More, the owners and handlers were well-dressed, and generally were more attractive than cat show people (and the populace at large too). Has that been your experience at shows too?

Yes, for an ordinary member of the public, dog shows can be a fun experience (far, far less so if you're competing). The dogs are almost all well-socialized, quiet and tuned to their handlers.

There's still something of a dress code for the two-legged competitors and judges. My own stewards club requires me to dress well. You can go back to show photos from 80 years ago and still see men in coat and tie and women in dresses. All are "sensible" and it's rare to see anyone flamboyantly dressed.

76 Wikipedia

The Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named after Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets.

On 6 August 1945, during the final stages of World War II, it became the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb in warfare.

When it came to selecting a name for the plane, Tibbets later recalled that:

... my thoughts turned at this point to my courageous red-haired mother, whose quiet confidence had been a source of strength to me since boyhood, and particularly during the soul-searching period when I decided to give up a medical career to become a military pilot. At a time when Dad had thought I had lost my marbles, she had taken my side and said, "I know you will be all right, son."

85 Great. Amazon's "Content Library" now:

a) Shows Kindle books, but no longer allows you to click on "Docs" or "Documents" to see the separate category of documents that you yourself personally uploaded to your kindle via their "Send to Kindle" page.

The documents are still there on your Kindle, but you can't easily manage this type of documents on Amazon's web interface anymore. I'm betting there's still a list you can get to, IF ONLY THEY HADN'T TAKEN AWAY THE BUTTON.

b) Doesn't show you a list of links at the bottom to allow you to jump forward many pages in your list of books or documents and zero in on the page you want. Nope, now it's just scroll down and find the "Load more titles..." button and click that for another appended page. This works if you only have one to ten pages, but for those who have an extensive library with hundreds of pages... Not so much. FFS, come on.

Huh. I noticed renaming also for manic depression:

Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a mental health disorder that causes strong mood swings.

Cleveland Clinic says

Alcohol use disorder (sometimes called alcoholism) is a common medical condition.

In this disorder, people can’t stop drinking, even when drinking affects their health, puts their safety at risk and damages their personal relationships.

89 It's nice to think that GLP-1s might be useful in treating alcoholism, the way Antabuse was (and maybe still is). But both require the alcoholic to take them on a regular basis. For me, it took a lifestyle and attitude change to do the trick -- much as a diet to lose weight requires you to change your eating habits and attitude toward food. If you don't change those, as soon as you go off the diet, and I presume off the treatment pills, you'll go back to the old way of life.

If they didn't think the Soviets would invade the home islands, they probably would have gone that route.

I've had Kobos for a decade. I was gifted a Kindle one year and loved it - better hardware, better screen, easier on the eyes - until I loaded my own library on it and found there was no way to sort, group and manage those several hundred books. Noped right back to the Kobo.

Most "enshittification" is really just companies trying to make locking you in to a subscription-based revenue model the path of least resistance.

Wednesday Night ONT - August 5, 2026 [TRex]

08052026-20260530-IMG_20260530_123431511.jpg

Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and (mostly) re-stocked. We're overstocked on RC Cola at the moment though so don't be shy about asking for refills. Only the best for the Horde...

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. If you're a troll, go away.

This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

Veterinarian News

Dog brought to emergency clinic after eating 2.4 pounds of gummy worms

A dog was rushed to an emergency veterinary clinic in Australia after eating 2.4 pounds of gummy worms.

Animal Emergency Service Jindalee said 3-year-old beagle Scooter was brought in by her panicked owners after consuming an entire bag of gummy worms - known in Australia as "jelly snakes."

Veterinary nurse manager Kate Wesche said the candies luckily did not contain xylitol, a chemical that can be toxic to dogs, but veterinarians made the decision to induce vomiting anyway due to concerns about the high sugar content.

Scooter ended up regurgitating 2.4 pounds of gummy worms.

Wesche told 1News Scooter had "clearly no regrets in her decision."

Please secure your gummy worms. There is a photo at the link if you're really, really curious to see the dog...and the aftermath.

Old story, but... Twinkie diet helps nutrition professor lose 27 pounds

For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. To add variety in his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Haub munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos, too.

His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most - not the nutritional value of the food.

The premise held up: On his "convenience store diet," he shed 27 pounds in two months.

For a class project, Haub limited himself to less than 1,800 calories a day. A man of Haub's pre-dieting size usually consumes about 2,600 calories daily. So he followed a basic principle of weight loss: He consumed significantly fewer calories than he burned.

But you might expect other indicators of health would have suffered. Not so.

Haub's "bad" cholesterol, or LDL, dropped 20 percent and his "good" cholesterol, or HDL, increased by 20 percent. He reduced the level of triglycerides, which are a form of fat, by 39 percent.

Science!

German Priorities

Germans: These steep hills along the Rhine and Mosel Rivers are great places to grow Riesling but they are extremely steep and difficult to manage. The Riesling is delicious so we must impose our will on the landscape to grow grapes.

Also Germans: As long as we have these ridiculous hillside vineyards, we might as well race cars through them.

If you're wondering where the Rallye Mittelrhein is run, look for Piesport and Trittenheim on your map.

And yes, the local Riesling is wonderful. They keep the good (dry) stuff and export the sweet stuff.

Niche YouTube Channel of the Week

Tonight's feature is a YouTube channel called Jeffery the Librarian. As you might guess, the channel is operated by a guy named Jeffery who is a professional librarian and historian. Jeffery primarily devotes his channel to telling stories of history with maps.

Always been interested in battles of the civil war, but just couldn't wrap your mind around who was where doing what, when and why? I have a much easier time reading about history when I have a map nearby. But static maps are a snapshot in time. They are not dynamic. Jeffery builds dynamic maps and drills down to specific historical events to tell the story.

For example, you may generally know about the Battle of Gettysburg, but have you ever seen a detailed illustration of each unit's positioning and involvement on Day One? Jeffery has a dozen or so videos that get into the detail. He shows topography to explain the presence and importance of high ground. He shows modern day maps and streets along with a sense of what the landscape looked like in period. If you have an ancestor that fought in any of the battles he covers, the videos will give you a sense of what they experienced.

No background music. No clickbait. Just simple and clear scripts delivered with simple and clear maps and labels. Just under 100k subscribers and videos with several hundred thousand views. Recommended.

Here's a great example of background, context, positioning and focus on Day One at the Battle of Gettysburg:

75 For that guy who ate twinkies and etc...

My roommate in the hospital does not speak English. Nor does anyone in her family. The hospital staff has to "call" interpreters to translate everything for this woman and her family, which takes 3-4 times as long as normal to explain everything.

Someone out there is making bank on these translation services.

117 I heard about some professor eating mainly junk food to prove weight loss is just about calories probably 15 years ago. But a whole lot of normal people will not get satiated eating only junk food with very little protein and don't have an iron will to ignore cravings induced by such a diet. So normal people have an easier time with weight loss with almost any other strategy. Its probably easier to fast for 36-48 hours 1x or 2x a week than to eat only 1800 calories of twinkies and corn chips every day.

General Relativity famously allows time travel in the most general case. Godel famously proved that with what is now known as the Godel metric. It required a rotating universe with a *negative* cosmological constant.

He intuitively saw the field equations allowed for this. Einstein said "Bullshit, Kurt!". Godel said, "I'll prove it." He did. When Godel said he could prove something, well look out.

The only problem with that is it leads to contradictions, Grandfather paradox the most famous one. Hawking proposed the "Chronology Protection Conjecture" which is a hypothesis that other laws of physics prevent such solutions from ever being possible.

That remains unproven.

When we got home, she looked like a garden hose that swallowed a basketball, moaning in pain, and we figured she was dead.

183 I'd have to say that June 1966, when school let out, to September of '67 when ninth grade began, was probably the happiest part of my youth. School was easy, I had good-looking girls in each of my classes (except phys ed, of course), spy shows were still all the rage, I kept up with current events and pop culture by watching Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin on Friday nights (and some school nights too when I could get away with it). Trek began that fall, but I wasn't into it yet; I preferred U.N.C.L.E. (which unfortunately was in its silly, campy season) and Mission: Impossible. Rex Stout's Wolfe stories were my favorites, until I discovered Ellery Queen that summer of '67.

And we had our first window A/C unit and our first stereo cabinet with a turntable, so I bought my own records with my allowance.

189 117 I heard about some professor eating mainly junk food to prove weight loss is just about calories probably 15 years ago. But a whole lot of normal people will not get satiated eating only junk food with very little protein and don't have an iron will to ignore cravings induced by such a diet. So normal people have an easier time with weight loss with almost any other strategy. Its probably easier to fast for 36-48 hours 1x or 2x a week than to eat only 1800 calories of twinkies and corn chips every day.

The Grandfather Paradox of time travel is the classic logical inconsistency: if I exist, I cannot exist, and if I don't exist, then I must exist.

How can the universe tolerate such a thing? Logic break downs. But there is another little trick. Suppose we say, never kill your grandfather or do anything that will result in such a paradox.

You can still have something very strange, a causal loop, a simple example is turning the Grandfather Paradox on its head. Rather than killing my grandfather, I go back in time and save my grandfather. Suppose I pop out in the past and notice my grandfather is about to be killed, and I act to save him.

I am now my own cause. I exist because I exist. This is a casual loop. A spacetime that allows such is dubbed acausal. Anything can happen. Matter/energy can exist in such loops "in the future" and can't be predicted from the initial conditions. Causality still breaks down.

Until I was twelve I got shuffled off to bed most nights at ten p.m., and the babysitter took over. The year I turned twelve, Mom said, "I think you boys are old enough to be left alone now." She left at ten p.m. for private-duty nurse assignments at one of the hospitals, and of course my brother (four years younger) and I would stay up to watch at least part of Carson.

I preferred Merv Griffin's original syndicated Westinghouse show, held in a small theatre in NYC and featuring new comics like Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, and Joanne Worley (later of Laugh-In). It aired at midnight here, so I didn't usually stay up for it except on Friday nights.

Everything is a lie.
Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it's in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories.

225 Our feral cats needed a routine. We couldn't give them free reign of the dry food because they would gobble that shit, drink a bunch of water, and then the kibble shit would swell in their gut and they'd be puking all over the place. We had to ease them into the dry kibble with a half a can of wet shit so they wouldn't gobble and puff up. Of course, they were always begging for treats (no gummies).
Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at August 05, 2026 11:23 PM (iySPJ)


Cats prefer to get their water from food, the wet food is good for them. I have two cats that are 17 years old, and I credit that in part to them getting a quarter of a can of wet food in the evening, and an eighth of a can in the morning.
The other cats of that cadre are gone, now, one to cancer and one to an owl, but the wet food helps stretch their lives out I think.

228 134 General Relativity famously allows time travel in the most general case. Godel famously proved that with what is now known as the Godel metric. It required a rotating universe with a *negative* cosmological constant.

He intuitively saw the field equations allowed for this. Einstein said "Bullshit, Kurt!". Godel said, "I'll prove it." He did. When Godel said he could prove something, well look out.

The only problem with that is it leads to contradictions, Grandfather paradox the most famous one. Hawking proposed the "Chronology Protection Conjecture" which is a hypothesis that other laws of physics prevent such solutions from ever being possible.

That remains unproven.

Larry Niven pretty much put the kibosh on time travel nonsense for the masses back in 1973...

Plus, no one ever seems to address the issue that it's a time-space continuum, which means that one must not only set a temporal destination, but then must also find the exact physical location of the temporal destination one wishes to travel to, which without a Universal reference and a spaceship is impossible.

236 have you ever seen a detailed illustration of each unit's positioning and involvement on Day One?

Actually, yes. Well, "detailed" might be too far.
But, they used to have a fantastic sandmap (probably 8-10 feet across) setup at the visitor's center there, with a recorded narration, a clock on the wall, and little lights that lit up when they spoke about that particular unit. It was about a half hour, IIRC. Then it would loop and start over.

They redid the visitor's center a few decades ago, and I don't recall if that feature made it back or not.

There is also a dispute going on; farmers and ranchers in the Weiser ID (and across the Snake River in Oregon) area squaring up with firefighters, telling them not to burn the grass, that would create fire breaks, which feeds their stock. The Tartar fire is mostly burning grassland.

According to the NASA globe dealie, I might see a 20% eclipse.

Got three more sheets of roofing tin hung on the shop wall today. I am about run out of suitable screws. And I now have to re-shuffle stuff in the shop, like the hoist, to gain access to the next section of wall to be clad. I rejiggered my hoist so the jib boom with the pulley now sticks straight out in front of me as I stand on the stairs. I can now better see what I am doing, but I am forced to use a 2 foot long extension on my screw gun to drive the screws. But it seems to go a little faster this way, and I can put some good muscle into the screw gun without inducing a sideways wobble on the stairway.

Anyhow, going to get an early one. I want to get on the road for Red Deer at 0700 to get to the passport office to do a renewal.

298 Aug 12th is the peak of the Perseid shower. It will be new Moon, and also a solar eclipse. We won't see shit, the path will be far north, and then dip down over Spain. This will be the first total eclipse visible in the Spanish mainland since 1905. And then they'll get another one next year.

And, Jupiter, just coming off solar conjunction will just be visible before sunrise, and you'll get Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn all in the morning sky.

There is always shitty frigging weather in jersey when the Perseid shower comes around. The only time I ever saw them good was in S. Dakota during the sturgis rally. This year sturgis starts tomorrow and goes to the 16th, so again, anybody there is going to have a nice meteor show.

I've always had bad look with meteor showers, too. The only time I see any is when I'm not looking for 'em.

And we'll get a partial lunar eclipse visible here over most of the US (it's centered over South America this time -- look at some of the map projections and you'll see it)

Here around Simpsonville, SC, I'll see about 93%. No one will see totality.

- "This man is innocent. I saw him serving at a soup kitchen."

-"Couldn't be him. He was helping me replace the roof on a homeless shelter."

A 20 year old West Virginia University student entered not guilty pleas in Monongalia County Magistrate Court and was released on a $15,000 personal recognizance bond. He is accused of acting as an accomplice in the vandalism of automated license plate reader cameras.

Investigators state a Flock Safety camera was cut down and removed near Chestnut Ridge Road and Suburban Court in Morgantown on or about June 26, 2026.

One felony count of damage, destruction, or theft of equipment used by emergency responders, and one felony count of conspiracy.

This co-defendant was linked to the case via co-defendant Wesley Jackson, 20, who was arrested previously in July 2026 in connection with the same targeted camera destructions.

He is represented by Rosnick Law, which emphasized his presumption of innocence and noted that the case touches on wider privacy debates surrounding automated public surveillance.

On average, the Perseids have a average "peak zenithal hourly rate" (ZHR) of about 50 - 75 per hour. That's sort of an optimum based on clear dark skies, and if the radiant were directly overheard. You can look ZHR up if interested and how to calculate the real hourly rate from that.

So, theoretically, it's a pretty nice shower, with around 1 per minute expected at the ideal.

Probably one of the most intense meteor storms of all time was the 1833 Leonid storm (note "storm" rather than shower). Maybe 28 meteors per second.

Peak thought the world was ending at the time. Read the accounts, and there are some famous paintings.

That led to the formation of meteor science, and their true understanding as coming from space. Before that, they didn't really know, although Halley and some others of his day, calculated they had to be pretty high up in the air, and he suspected they were from space, but the idea of little space rocks wasn't known.

Halley himself didn't spell it consistently. He wasn't even consistent with his first name, sometimes Edmund, sometimes Edmond. At the time, Hailey, Haley, Haly, Hawley, Hawly, were used.

Halley has just become the standard spelling and pronunciation now. Really, there's no real definitive proof of how he would've pronounced it.

Reposting:

The European Commission have just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5 year phase in plan that would be known as "EuroEnglish": --

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favor of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with the "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.

THis is interesting. Up until the early 1800s, Western science largely rejected meteorites as being anything other than superstition and tall tales. That is, actual rocks falling from the sky.

Around 1794, a German scientist published an analysis of some of the supposed meteorites, showing their composition was quite different from earth rocks. The rejected that as just crazy talk. In 1803, there were a bunch of meteorites that fell in some French town, and they sent Jean-Baptiste Biot to investigate (He's the Biot in the Biot-Savart Law).

He conclusively proved the rocks fell from the sky and probably from outer space.

The science is never settled.

It went all the way back to Aristotle, who argued that meteors were due to combustible vapors drawn up from the earth by the sun's heat.

And that view sort of persisted up until 1803. They thought the "vapors" were of volcanic origin and such maybe, and if any actual stones fell, it was again due to volcanos throwing them up.

Cesar Gastelum, 25, was livestreaming outside a KFC in Culiacan, the capital city of Sinaloa state, around 8 p.m. local time when he was attacked. He was accompanied by two friends and dressed as a food delivery worker as part of a challenge.

Gastelum, who had nearly 600,000 followers on TikTok and was known for making comedy videos, was approached by two individuals riding a motorcycle, both wearing helmets. According to a clip from the livestream, the rider appeared to shoot a gun right at Gastelum

Apparently that's why he's dead.

369 Bers, what browser are you using? If this is not on a phone, just get the Ublock Lite extension and it will block it all.

370 Oh, and here I have win10 with Brave browser. No damned pop-ups!

I also verified that turning off javascript on the damned Chrome for Android for this site worked as well, although embedding videos and that sort of stuff wouldn't work either.

The Edge browser for Android does have AdBlock in there somehow, don't remember if I had to install that or what, but it also blocked all this stuff. So, I'm basically just using Edge on the phone now for everything.

Something I've noticed with Chrome and the others with Ublock running is that CPU will often spike after loading and reloading the comments page here. Sometimes for a long time.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that's some of the ad stuff trying to run. I don't see it, but the way a lot of this works is it just hides it, but it still runs.

Yeah, we really do need new ones. Was looking at new Dells since every one we got lasted forever. I think mine here is over 10 years old, and it just keeps working. My hard drive is getting full. I want a new one with those septillion gig hard drives and a billion ram, lol. Ram seems pretty damn expenisve these days.

385 If your computer is in working order you can put what you want to keep on an external HD and load it with Mint. It is very light and is much like Win 7, the learning curve for casual usage is minimal. (next to nill) It comes with common packages pre-loaded.

Most of the folks here installed it themselves. Putz here, paid $40 to have it installed. You will now have a 'like brand new' used computer. If you decide to buy new one's, well, you'll have a backup.

16 substituted in a zero ( 0 ) for an “o”

On the comments font on my browser, 0 and o look the same. The composition box, apparently, is a different font, because the zero is tall (but not as fat as capital O).

Re the big moon impact of that Falcon 9 2nd stage last night. It happened as predicted, but nobody, even the professionals were able to see anything, not even reflected light from a dust plume.

The Very Large Telescope down there in Chile was looking, and the spectrographs saw the chemical signature of sodium and lithium kicked up. So it it hit and did kick up some ejecta. A couple of other observatories saw the same spectral signatures as well.

So, it happened, but absolute nothingburger as far as anything to see.

___________________

Hey, Piper. I have a fashion note for you. Chivalry of holding a door for a woman. Lot's of people like to attribute this to Medieval knights allowing women to go first on the off chance that an enemy is on the other side. That is nothing but myth and hogwash.

The true reason the chivalrous act of holding a door for a woman occurred was due to the fashion during Medieval times and pragmatism. Heavy, restrictive hoop skirts and large dresses made it physically difficult for women to reach door latches or navigate entryways unassisted, prompting men to step in as a matter of functional help and social custom.

So, essentially, thanks to Medieval hoop skirts, feminists give me the side eye when I hold the door for them. The irony being that such feminists are unaware that it was the result of stupid outerwear choices of women in 500-1500 AD.

FOIA requests for documents must be specific. You need to specify exactly what you are looking for by proper name, misspellings, even obvious ones, will not be honored.

If you put in a FOIA request for documents related to a case named Oxford Comma and actual name of the investigation is Oxferd C0mma, you will be told there are no documents response to your request.

And that's exactly what happened.

Heh. I may be the only person left on the planet who remembers the brief, 1979, show called "Salvage 1" in which Andy Griffith played an entrepreneur who had a vision of salvaging NASA leftovers off the Moon for fun and profit.

Now that Elon and friends are distributing more such stuff, seems to me time for a reboot.

When Mueller was the FBI Director, he changed the promotion procedure and structure of the FBI and it stayed that way through Comey. Basically, it promoted loyalty to the leadership and centralized power in the DC office.

If you look at all the shit run against Trump it was pretty much the same people over and over. More evil than idiots. The name Oxford Comma was an homage to Comey, he was known as a fan of the Oxford Comma at the FBI. Ok, evil fags.

Quick Hits

A sports writer who choked out his own wife is attacking Sophie Cunningham for caring about women's safety -- he's not a fan of women's safety -- and decides it's also "anti-black" to look out for girls in girls sports.

This has nothing to do with race, obviously, except that Sophie Cunningham is white and black racists will take any opportunity to spit racial hatred at whites while complaining about all the racisms in society.

Writer arrested for allegedly beating wife calls Sophie Cunningham 'anti-trans, anti-black' in wild op-ed


The Guardian op-ed accused the Indiana Fever guard of being the right's 'anti-Black, anti-transgender culture war ambassador'

By Bobby Burack


"She is every bit as political as Colin Kaepernick."

That's how sportswriter Howard Bryant described WNBA star Sophie Cunningham in a Guardian op-ed.

Bryant argued that Cunningham embraced right-wing politics by saying young girls should not have to compete against biological males in sports.


...

Most of the country agrees with Cunningham. According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, 79% of Americans oppose allowing individuals who were male at birth to compete in female sports categories.

Still, the loud, radical minority pushing to erase sex-based competition makes up much of the sports media. That's why the usual suspects -- Jemele Hill, Katie Nolan, Sarah Spain and now Bryant -- have reacted so angrily to Cunningham's comments.

Later in the piece, Bryant also accused Cunningham of engaging in "anti-blackism."

"Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is now in the act, accepting the role as the right's anti-Black, anti-transgender culture war ambassador, the role originally intended for Caitlin Clark."

At this point, you are likely wondering what wanting to protect girls' sports has to do with race. Unfortunately, Bryant never explained that to us. However, we suspect he realized, early in his op-ed, that arguing boys and girls should share locker rooms is a losing argument.

Either that or he reflexively labeled her "anti-Black" out of instinct. Hard to say.

The left keeps saying they refuse to condemn terrorism or communism because they reject "cancel culture." Bernie Sanders just said this about Hasan Piker's statement that "America deserved 9/11" -- he said we have to "get over this cancel culture."

Um, not in politics. In politics, your words are your policies. Bernie Sanders just doesn't want to take a position on whether America deserved 9/11.

We do "cancel" people in politics for their words. We shouldn't cancel truck drivers or pizza restaurant owners for their politics -- but we sure as shit should "cancel" political candidates for their politics.

It's called "holding elections." It's the whole fucking point of elections.

But of course the left doesn't want to end cancel culture at all. They love it.

They just want to make it okay for Democrat Socialists to call for terrorism and murder.

For example, an actor just got cancelled from a Broadway show for saying he thinks that girls sports should be reserved to girls.


Geno Segers was a widely acclaimed actor who starred in the Broadway production Hadestown. That came to an end this month when Segers expressed the view of the vast majority of Americans: women's sports should be confined to biological women. He has now been fired, even after an attempt to apologize for expressing his own views on the subject. Other actors have expressed support for transgender players without any response other than praise in the latest example of the rising McCarthyism on the left.

This is only the latest termination over the political views of artists in New York. As the song states in Hadestown, "It's an old song. It's a sad song. But we're gonna sing it anyway."

We have previously discussed how private companies can fire employees for public conduct or statements that bring controversy to their business or products. However, even though the First Amendment does not govern such controversies, there remains a free speech issue. Free speech goes beyond the confines of the First Amendment and private companies can engage in censorship that curtails this human right.

The question often comes down to consistency in companies enforcing content-based standards. I did not like some of the comments of Segers, but there is little question that equally strong comments against "cisgender" athletes or for transgender athletes would not result in such termination.

Segers posted statements critical of transgender athletes playing in women's sports as well as the posting of preferred pronouns. The comments were certainly mocking and insulting at points: "If you asked me what my preferred pronouns are and it's not obvious to you that I'm a he/him, that I'm good with he/him -- Surely you don't need any help. I'm not wearing a dress."

One can understand why transgender advocates would be upset with the content and tenor of these comments, including "I don't see transgender people becoming oppressed or being oppressed ... life is unfair."

However, Segers also wrote: "I'm not against anyone living out their lives the way they want, but I am against their rights superseding the rights of other people. That's a little bit foul."

Segers attempted to apologize for his comments after the cancel campaign picked up steam:

I wish to extend my most sincere apologies to everyone impacted by my words. While I never intended to inflict harm, I recognize that the impact of my statements is what matters most. I am fully committed to listening, educating myself, and elevating my standards. I will work tirelessly to earn the opportunity to make things right.

Actors, athletes, and academics routinely offer equally strident and insulting comments about the issue as well as radical comments on cisgender citizens and culture. Those comments generally do not trigger cancel campaigns.

As Lenin said, the important questions are always "Who? Whom?"

You decide whether something is permissible based upon who is doing it, and to whom.


Anchor baby Francesca Hong: Despite my previous claim that Thanksgiving should have been cancelled starting in 1621, I see now that I'm in a general election, so I'll claim that Thanksgiving, which I've repeatedly stated is a horror for people in "many communities," is my "favorite holiday."

She just hates American culture in general:


Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter firebrand and grifter Cori Bush -- remember her? she led the BLM thugs through the yards of private citizens -- attempted to regain the seat she lost two years ago.

She was crushed again, this time by 45%.

49 >>> Sophie seems to have a natural talent for handling the media on this touchy issue.

Emphasizes the positive aspects of protecting women and girls, while not rising to the bait of trolls who falsely accuse her of being anti-trans and, now, anti-black.

But she is navigating a minefield.

It helps somewhat that she is hot. Everyone loves hot.

More likely she learned along with everyone else that the true path to power is claiming your position on The Stack, beyond anything else.

Competence is a liability. Intelligence is dangerous. Adopt the mantras of the ontoclasts if your mediocre ass wants any hope of getting ahead in life.

If she ever faced any real trauma in life, she'd probably be a bit more introspective. It's the pampered spoiled shitbirds who squawk the loudest about their grievances.

In August 2026, there have been reports of increased attacks by Baloch militant groups against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), particularly in the Sistan-Baluchestan province. This surge in violence is part of a long-standing insurgency seeking to secure Baloch national and religious rights.

Reports in August 2026 indicate that the IRGC has carried out strikes against Iranian Kurdish militant groups located in/operating from Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, rather than “Kurds attacking the IRGC” as the primary description.

For example, an August 2026 analysis notes that the IRGC “intensified its operations against Kurdish positions,” including drone strikes targeting Kurdish militant groups.

It looks like it ends the restrictions on transfers of machine guns, destructive devices and other NFA listed firearms, manufacturing, maintenance of a registry and burden of owners maintaining proof of ownership, removing ATF application to purchase, notification of LE of ownership, ATF oversight of transfers, and enjoins ATF and similar personnel from enforcing rules on demanding ID on non-labeled or Serial numbered devices and firearms, and enforcing restrictions or controls over interstate commerce in regards to such devices and firearms.

Perfesser, Now Ex-Perfesser, Jason Arday Resigns After Being Caught In Yet Another Lie

The newest lie was about publishing a book.

The book was called Trust Me, Bro.

Okay that's a lie.

The truth is, there was no book. No such book exists.

Allegedly, he did propose a book to a publisher... but he never wrote it and never published anything.


Nevertheless, on his website and official bios, he claims the book was actually published and is a real thing that exists.


He also entered the fake book's title in the university's research system so that if you looked it up, you would see that Trust Me, Bro -- or whatever -- exists.

But it doesn't. It was always yet another fiction in his fictional life.

Must be that autism acting up again.


Jason Arday resigns after Telegraph reveals his false book claims

Professor announces he is quitting Cambridge 'with immediate' effect after university launched investigation

Prof Jason Arday has resigned from the University of Cambridge after The Telegraph revealed he falsely claimed to have published a book.

In a statement on Wednesday evening, Prof Arday said he was stepping down "with immediate effect" from his position at the university and at Jesus College citing the "unrelenting level of public scrutiny".

It came hours after the university announced it was investigating him following new information regarding his "academic qualifications and honorary appointments".

Prof Arday, who was a professor of sociology of education, has been at the centre of a plagiarism row after The Telegraph reported accusations he had copied parts of his PhD thesis from another student.

Earlier on Wednesday, The Telegraph also revealed that Prof Arday had repeatedly claimed that he was the author of a book called Being Young, Black and Male: Challenging the Dominant Discourse.

The book was listed in his biography description in published essays as well as in promotional material for speaking events, and was attributed to the Palgrave Macmillan publishing house.

There is no evidence that any book was written or published.

I mean... it's just hilarious. It's just one lie after another, and literally no one had the guts to ask him about any of these lies because they feared he'd call them a racist.

Which he did in fact do. In fact, he complained to the police about racists asking him questions.

The revelation raised questions over Prof Arday's employment at the University of Cambridge. To apply for a professorship at Cambridge, applicants need to submit an extensive portfolio of work, which includes a complete bibliography of essays, journals and book chapters.

Jesus College, where Prof Arday was a fellow, had also said it was investigating him, adding that it was "a very difficult time for him and his family".

Announcing his resignation on the Good Law Project's website, Prof Arday said: "While criticism is an inevitable part of academic life, what I have experienced has gone far beyond scholarly disagreement. The relentless accusations, speculation and public commentary have taken a profound toll on me and on those I love."

He added: "This decision should not be interpreted as a loss of faith in scholarship or in the values that first brought me to Cambridge. Nor should it be mistaken for an acceptance of the narratives that have surrounded me. It is simply the decision of someone who has reached the limits of what any person should reasonably be expected to endure."

The Telegraph revealed last month that Prof Arday had been accused of plagiarism after analysis of his PhD thesis showed more than 180 separate passages were identical or near-identical to another student's thesis.

In recent days, Prof Arday has put his apparent plagiarism down to autism, saying he absorbs information through mimicry.

He has faced questions over other claims. Last week he admitted that a story about him running 600 miles in six days for charity was wrong, saying that it had taken 12 days. He also accepted that he did not raise £5.5m for charity alone -- as he had said in the past -- but had instead been part of a syndicate of about 100 people, none of whom he could name because of non-disclosure agreements.

Have I ever told you about my super-hot model girlfriend? You wouldn't know her, she goes to school in Canada. I can't say where because of the NDA I have with her.


The Telegraph can also reveal that he falsely claimed to hold a master's degree in psychodynamic counselling from Birkbeck University. Durham University also contradicted his claim to be an "honorary professor" in its sociology department.

Cambridge previously said Prof Arday was the victim of a "vile campaign to undermine his credibility", but faced a staff revolt over its refusal to re-examine his academic credentials.

Its investigation came hours after The Telegraph revealed Prof Arday's false claim to have published a book.


...

While he was working at Durham University in 2020, he uploaded the title of the book to the university's repository, an archive to which academics can upload their research and other work.

However, he did not upload any files or content from the book. The entry said "manuscript in preparation", suggesting the work had not yet been completed.

...

The title was included in his list of published works in Cool Britannia and Multi-Ethnic Britain alongside the Being Young, Black and Male book.

It was also listed on his staff profile on Durham University's website as being published in 2019 by Routledge publishing company.

He was still claiming the book was published when he took up the post as Cambridge's youngest black professor in March 2023.

I co-wrote a book with.... my wife, Morgan Fairchild! Yeah, that's the ticket!

This guy compiles what he says are the Perfesser's many, many lies.

But what are the chances of that?!?!

Allison Pearson:


The Cambridge fantasist is proof that stupid intellectuals are poisoning Britain

Jason Arday's tall tales are a devastating case study of how woke ideology turns supposedly brilliant academics into credulous dupes

Most of them are mid-wits, at best.

Arday is, it appears, an Olympic-grade fantasist.

Indeed, the only surprise is Jason has not yet claimed to have won an Olympic gold medal in gymnastics, quite possibly, such are his skills in contortion and backward flips. Despite claims that he is the target of a "smear campaign by Right-wing newspapers", the plagiarism allegations against him have been extensively and convincingly documented. If he had stuck to ripping off entire passages from the dissertation of a female research student, he might well have got away with it. But Jason, born to immigrant parents on a council estate in south London, diagnosed with autism and who claims he was non-verbal until the age of 11 and couldn't read or write until he was 18, decided to branch out into what I can only call experimental fiction.

It is easy to imagine the magical-realism novel based on a list of his alleged achievements -- you could call the yarn Jason and the Golden Fleeced.

Take, for example, his claim to have run 30 marathons in 35 days, partly with a broken leg, to raise money for "charity".

Arday claims he had an epileptic seizure on the 20th day, causing a hairline fracture in his fibula. In his forthcoming memoir, Great and Unfortunate Things, soon to be published by a (surely panic-stricken) Simon & Schuster, he describes the fracture causing his leg to swell to twice its normal size. Nonetheless, our plucky hero says he completed his feat of endurance running. There was also the small matter of him running 600 miles in six days and then 300 miles in three days too.

Experts in ultra-distance running have unsurprisingly cast doubt on these claims, pointing out that such achievements would mean Arday ranked among the world's top athletes.

But why did no one query this before now? What's wrong with the people who allowed Arday to rise as he did, unchecked by reality? His alleged endurance exploits alone are beyond improbable.

How can Cambridge dons, and other senior academics in universities across the country, supposedly some of the most brilliant minds on the planet, have nodded along as Jason told them even more -- perhaps about his supposed appearance on the TV show Seven Up, decades before he was born?

If Prof Arday had told such stories on a building site or a factory floor, the response would have been immediate and brutal: "Come off it, you lying toerag. Pull the other one!"

There is no one quite as stupid as an intellectual. A friend who taught at Cambridge before fleeing for the relative sanity of a Swiss professorship blames the Arday scandal on "a weak, woke administrative class" who have bought into the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) cult. "The disease began," he says, "when the colleges started to hire so-called senior tutors, many of whom are failed academics on an ideological mission to change the ethnic make-up of the Cambridge faculty. Their loyalty is with Left-wing politicians. Most academics are naïve, cowardly, sentimental, indifferent or gullible, so they just go along with it. It's a disaster."

Don't feel bad for this hustler: He gamed the system like a good little foreign grifter and even called the police to complain about a journalist asking questions.


...

A professor I know who worked her way up the academic ladder is angry that women, in particular, and white Britons from working-class backgrounds are being sacrificed for the greater good of diversity. "It's got to the point now where if someone identifies as having a disability or is from a certain ethnic minority, they are guaranteed an interview. I've had to interview people for a post they were absolutely not qualified for and had no experience in. It's farcical."

Arday, for his part, presents himself as a kind, rather dreamy savant (he once told Krishnan Guru-Murthy that he'd like the world to "spin on an axis of love", and said: "I would take a thread and a needle and I'd interweave love into our society"), always emphasising his humility.

His mindthoughts and soulpatterns are next-level you guys.

But when Grove emailed Arday in the summer of 2025 to give him a formal right of reply to his investigation, the response was stern.

In September 2025, Times Higher Education received a letter from top law firm Carter-Ruck, which prompted them to pull their exposé (how Arday could afford such expensive lawyers is a mystery).

Then, in November 2025, the Metropolitan Police were contacted. It was claimed the reporter was "harassing" Arday, although Grove had never tried to call him or approach him or his family in person.

Two months later, in January of this year, Arday submitted a formal, 24-page complaint to Times Higher Education's chief executive. The dreamy savant was apparently playing hardball to protect his position.

In early February, Grove received a call from The Met, which explained it had investigated the complaint made against him but closed the case. "It was the first I knew about it," says Grove. He was badly shaken.

Prosecute him for the false police report.

Which he did in fact do. In fact, he complained to the police about racists asking him questions.


I believe it was 50% fear and 50% they had found their perfect, poor, autistic, illiterate until 18, super-athlete, black man who had defied all odds and overcame the systemic racism to become a professor.

They didn't want to ruin that fairy tale by calling him a lying fake, no matter that they knew he's completely full of it.

37 This combo of lies and claims and obfuscations suggests "psychopathic personality." Until now he's been more successful in life than a lot of the PPs -- but part of his success is due to the sickness in the university and the society outside it. Everybody is scared to question a black man about his claims. Without that -- if anybody had done any real vetting -- he'd have never gotten a Ph.D.

Sounds kinda like a fellow I heard about who was born (?) in Hawaii, went to school in the U.S. but there's no record of him doing anything there, and rose to prominence because nobody dared to question his claims. Can't quite think of his name. . . .

I think Arday claimed to have out-fought Chuck at least twice. He also landed the jump over the Caesar's Palace fountains. And then he beat both Foreman and Ali in the ring.

When he jumped the fountain at Caesar's Palace he broke every bone in his body, and two bones in someone else's body.

105 He's one of those great fraudsters like the character in Catch me if you Can. I almost have to admire him in dark way; he always knew exactly what he was doing, and he probably laughed himself to sleep each night thinking about how the credentialed idiots fell for it again.

And it worked because he saw the Truth of something that we would all do well to take to heart - Every Administration/Faculty member at that University was, in their own way, every bit as big a fraud as he was. They'd might a career out of gaming the system by pretending they were Deep Thinkers when in fact, they were all a pack of grifting midwits. He saw who they were, and he saw that he could do it better than any of them.

109 It all stems from the whole idea we ran off the end of the earth with, called Don't Make The Black Kids Angry. Don't ever tell them No. Don't ever be in front of them in line. Don't ever question their honesty. Don't ever correct them when they're wrong.

There's an artist who made it "all the way" named Megan Thee Stallion. Nobody, I'm guessing, not even one person in her entire life had the courage to tell her that "thee" isn't the spelling for a long-E "the", but is old English for "you", or that a stallion is a male horse.

129 When I was working at a certain private university, as office manager I helped coordinate the "search" each winter for new faculty members. It seemed invariable that of the three or four the committee invited to come to campus, the supposed "top" candidates, over 50% were foreign and would require sponsorship and an H1-B visa. And those fees were not cheap.

The same thing happened with visiting or adjunct professors who would only be around for one year. At least we'd get several years of work out of the tenure-track people -- maybe more if they got tenure and didn't get lured away by another university.

I thought it was insane to spend the fees when there were *plenty* of U.S.-born applicants who were at least good enough to be considered.

it should be a real warning that those same poles also showed him losing to Rogers. hopefully this campaign and supporters can move their sights on the election in November.

I hope he's able to get party support now that he has the nomination. Scholten already said she wouldn't support him if he wins the nom. Do centrist dems want Al Sayed to lose in November?

Can’t wait for the GOP attack ads to hammer him for being Muslim. He needs to counter with "at least I'm not an evangelical Christian nationalist piece of shit" ads.  He has to go hard to win.

The establishment painting Abdul as some radical communist really shows how far towards the right they’ve allowed themselves to be pulled. In a different time he would be considered a new deal dem, not some communist outsider. His policies used to be the one page platform of the Democratic Party.

Pro-Hamas, Pro-Terrorist Communist Abdul El-Sayed Wins Nomination for Michigan Senate as Expected -- But By a Very Thin Margin

chungushrlady.png

Recent polls had predicted the latest Red-Green Fusion Candidate to win by double digits.

But Transgender Matt Foley, Haley Stephens, came within 1% of beating him.

That means the Democrat primary did not unify the party. It divided it. Furthermore, it shows that as the race closed, millions in ads alerting voters to this Muslim anchor-baby's extremist support for Hamas and Muslim terrorism generally had a real effect.

People learned, for example, that:

* El-Sayed's father is a Muslim Brotherhood operative

* El-Sayed wants to ban not only all aid to Israel, but all arms sales

* El-Sayed refused to say anything about the killing of Iran's Ayatollah because, he said, many of his voters were "sad" about it

* El-Sayed thinks that Hasan Piker -- who says America deserved 9/11, and that someone should assassinate Republican senators, and that people should murder "capitalists" until the streets run red with blood -- should be welcomed into the Big Muslim-Communist Tent that is today's Democrat Party.

Oh, he also wants to ban ICE, of course.

Fox:


A former Wayne County Health Department director, El-Sayed, if elected in November, would make history as the nation's first Muslim senator. He is an epidemiologist who unsuccessfully ran for governor as an insurgent candidate in 2018. He has made support for "Medicare-for-all" a major component of his campaign.

He has also called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and is a vocal critic of Israel amid its war with Hamas -- even characterizing Israel's actions in Gaza as "genocide" against Palestinians. El-Sayed, who served as a top surrogate on Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign, has also vowed not to accept PAC donations.

...

Noting growing opposition among Democrats nationwide to Israel's ongoing military operations against Hamas in Gaza, and the massive amounts of outside money spent in the historically expensive Senate primary by groups aligned with pro-Israel interests to help Stevens and target El-Sayed, Grossman added "this was a terrible year to be running the most pro-Israel candidate available."

More than $80 million was spent on the primary, making it the most expensive Democratic Senate nomination contest in history. Much of the money came from outside groups supporting Stevens or opposing El-Sayed. The largest spender was United Democracy Project, a political action committee aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is best known by its acronym AIPAC.

Trump:

"Great news for the Republican Party. El-Sayed, a Communist loser who hates Jews and Israel, is the projected winner in his race with the Socialist," he posted on Truth Social. "As usual, the Polls were way off on this one. She was not expected to do nearly as well as she did. Now, the Dumocrats crazy policies will only get worse!"

Rogers, for his part, has seized on El-Sayed's win, saying it made the race a choice between "common sense" and "complete insanity."

David Axelrod thinks it's a perfectly "legitimate" question to ask if American Jews should be barred from spending their money to run political ads against foreign Muslim terrorists who openly hate them. It takes Van Jones, of all people, to point out that American Jews are in fact American so no, it's not a "legitimate debate" to discuss banning their participation in electoral politics:

What to do about the 48.5%-47.5% split in the Democrat Party? With 52.5% of voters actually voting against the Hamas agent and Egyptian anchor baby?

Will El-Sayed reach out to the people he brands as Israeli puppets?

No, not at all, urges Hasan Piker. Just call them "Islamaphobes" until they buckle.

Skip to 1:50 -- Abdul El-Sayed announces "You may not hate Muslims, but Muslims definitely hate you."

Of course, he defends Muslim terrorists killing kids at a Jewish synagogue by saying "Hurt people hurt people" -- you can't blame the Muslim terrorist, he had sad feelings.

Boys will be boys.


This cocksucker said he would "beat the shit" out of Republican candidate Mike Rogers and that he would take his opponents "to the mud and choke 'em out."

So he's generally in favor of political violence.

6 Crowder has a really good video out about how Maher used to be the gatekeeper on whether or not conservatives could use the word "socialism".

So, it's a little ironic that Bill has suddenly decided that people in the Democrat party can be described as "socialists".

15 I still think establishment Dems cheated to get Stevens this close.

I've been seeing their ads for months and her biggest attack against the guy was that he disrespected women. And unlike him, she did not come across as likable in any of her ads.

Hopefully all of Abdul's crazy crap becomes known and tanks him.

But that would require some sort of media.

23 I think we have two shots are turning this around

1. The more power the muslims get, the more bold they are about stating their actual intention. They crave dominance and many of them can not hide what they want to do to the West once they have it.

2. We really need to make them feel "humiliated and inferior." We need to call them slaves to a dead pedo, and laugh and ridicule them telling them to get on their knees, slave. Make everyone understand the being a muslim means submitting to a conquering gang of slaves, and is antithetical to the West or any free people.

36 Dr. Allahu Akbar squeaked out a win by 16,000-ish votes; if McMorrow hadn't split the now centrist lunatic left vote Stevens would have won thus blunting the communist DSA's momentum. I take this to mean there is nearly zero chance Dr. Allahu Akbar is going to pick up enough of the Stevens/McMorrow vote to beat Rogers, the Republican, in the general election.

In other news, as old as it is, the polls are as corrupt as elections in a blue state.

Time of troubles, and perhaps a hot civil war in 2028 if it becomes clear that the Democrats are a dying party politically. The left based all its bets on an endless wave of migrants overcoming the citizens of the US (and Euroland) and if that flood does not materialize, the DSA has nothing to offer existing citizens except for those DSA bastards that want power to eradicate the rest of us.

120 The ACW started in part, because the South was losing by leaps and bounds demographically by 1860 and Lincoln got elected to stop the spread of slavery to the West which pretty much set in motion the fireeater Southern Democrats to figure the time had come or bust. And they used Dred Scott as justification.

Had trends continued by 1870 and slavery spread been contained, the South planter aristocracy would have imploded from the costs of it. Cotton depleted the soil too quickly and slaves were not an economical workforce for upland crops like wheat, etc.

Cotton farming had so ruined the soil of East Coast older Southern states that they made more selling their slaves to westbound planters or leaving themselves than farming.

The attempts by the Democrats to get us into war with Russia failed, Iran is not a peer adversary, and China is too cautious, especially now. And shutting off illegals makes the Cloward Piven strategy shaky---summation that it looks like 1860 for the Dems.

Lifelong Michigander here, born and raised outside of Dearborn. I will tell you why Abdul El-Sayed will lose to Mike Rogers in November, because it’s actually very simple. It’s the same reason Haley Stevens won Rashida Tlaib’s district (which includes Dearborn), why MI-8 voters elected Thomas Smith, who had dropped out, over the Trump-endorsed Muslim alternative, and why Sri Thanedar lost to a black progressive in MI-13 despite being extremely progressive himself.

It’s because Michiganders look at what is happening to parts of their state, thanks to the growing influence and spread of political Islam, and are appalled by it. People who haven’t been to metro-Detroit simply do not understand how bad things have gotten. But Michiganders know. And they’re not going to elect the guy who wants to make it worse.

Sing it as we used to sing it fifty thousand strong,
While we were marching through Dearborn.

Hurrah! Hurrah! We've curb-stomped all the sheiks!"
So we sang the chorus from Dearborn to the lake,

Given that people here are allowed to carry openly or concealed, without a permit of any kind, and that many, many do (many did that even before it was legal, of course... my late mother used to carry a .380 in her purse, while my late wife used to do the same, except hers was a .357 Magnum), I don't think Sudden Jihadi Syndrome would have a very high death toll before the rabid animal got put down.

Ann Arbor is an open-air lunatic asylum. Rogers already carried Michigan once in 2024 but that was stolen by CIA Slotkin. They Dems knew they couldn't stop Trump's momentum, so they deleted Rogers votes to put CIA over the top.

No way Trump voters split their ticket and jumped to Slotkin.

This is going to be epic, because the top of the ticket is going to wreck all the down ballot races, and every Dem is going to be asked "Do you support Abdul Mohammed Deathtoamerica Jihadi?"

Also, in case you all missed it. Ann Arbor threw out their current mayor and elected a DSA member named Yousef Rabhi. Not unexpected but will see where this goes. Ann Arbor has been destroying itself in the name of the U of Michigan which is buying up property everywhere in the city and subsequently building high rises for student luxury housing. A lot of the small businesses that made Ann Arbor charming to visit are gone as rents have climbed beyond reason. Homeless and panhandlers everywhere, parking is impossible, and getting an apartment for under $3,000 a month is not achievable. I doubt Mr. DSA will do any of the improvements he's planning, but will only make things worse as he runs into the buzz saw of U/M. He will succeed in giving away $$$ and increasing the social justice boondoggles Ann Arbor has become famous for.

It's not just that El-Sayed is a terrible candidate.

192 El-Sayed has a very good chance of winning in Michigan. The Repubs are going to play up the "he's a commie, he's against Israel" line. That's a selling feature to the Democrats. What it doesn't do is bring out the mushy middle voters who did come out for Trump two years ago because the Biden admin sucked so bad.

What the Repubs need to do is run against the Dem party, remind voters that the Dems want open borders, no deportations, release of criminals (no bail and no jail), shut down energy production that increases gas and heating costs, increase regulations on business that drives companies (and jobs) offshore and a few other things I'll probably think of later.

But the Repubs don't do that. They'll just run ads to say "Oooh, this guy is bad!!!" and the middle voter will stay home because they don't remember why they were yelling "F@#k Joe Biden a few years back.

Did the Democrat-Media Party Program Another Assassin to Kill Trump?

Not sure yet.

But it seems like they did.


An armed man, said to be creeping around and monitoring "security-planning activities," was arrested Sunday with a pistol and ammunition outside Trump National Golf Course Los Angeles -- just two days before the president's visit to the very same location.

Jeanine John Taele, 38, from Downey, Calif., was taken into custody outside the Rancho Palos Verdes site by sheriff's deputies after federal agents first spotted him lurking in the area, taking photos and videos, and monitoring security-planning activities, law enforcement said.


Jeanine? Is this a transgender?

Someone claimed "Jeanine" is a French form of "John." But it's not. "Jean" is the French form of John. "Jeanine" is the feminine form. BTW 93% of nouns or names ending in -e in French are female. Blond/blonde. Francois/Francoise.

So I don't know what's going on here.


When deputies assigned to the Lomita Sheriff's Station first made contact with Taele, they determined he was being investigated for a 2025 robbery by the El Segundo Police Department -- he was then detained.

During a pat-down, deputies recovered a 16-round magazine containing hollow-point ammunition from Taele's pants pocket, according to a release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.


A subsequent search of his vehicle in the golf course parking lot revealed a loaded pistol with a round chambered, along with an additional loaded magazine with hollow-point rounds.

Taele was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm and possession of prohibited ammunition.

The Sheriff's Department Major Crimes Bureau assigned to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) obtained and executed a search warrant at Taele's home in Downey Monday.

Deputies discovered an illegally modified AR platform rifle, two radio signal devices, a 1911 .45 caliber pistol, an AR platform upper receiver, body armor, high-capacity magazines, bulk pistol and rifle ammunition, and multiple notebooks containing concerning statements during the search of his home.

He was charged with the following crimes Tuesday:

Manufacturing, importing, keeping for sale, giving or receiving a large-capacity magazine
Carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle
Possession of a short-barreled rifle or shotgun
Second degree robbery, in connection to the 2025 robbery.

Taele entered a not guilty plea, and bail was set at $250,000.

The Post was first to break the news of Trump's scheduled visit to Southern California.

Taele, who describes himself as a USMC veteran, had been spotted around the golf course several times since June, but there was no indication he was aware of Trump's upcoming visit, a law enforcement source told The Post.

...

Officials confirmed that while the investigation remains active, law enforcement has identified no current credible threat to the surrounding communities.

55 On the possibly malicious ads, if you’re willing to wait until it goes away, it probably will; what appears to be happening is that a new set of ads has been rotated in by whatever adserver pays the gerbils, and they haven’t been properly vetted, or at all. It happens regularly, on this site and others.

The general advice is to switch to a browser that lets you turn off third-party scripts on a site-specific basis, or add a plug-in to your existing browser that does the same thing. I use StopTheScript on Safari.

It does mean that legitimate third-party scripts also don’t run, such as embedded tweets and embedded videos. There may be a setting to fix that, but I haven’t cared enough to look for it.

The trial was more complicated than that. What he actually said that was presented at trial wasn't the same as what was reported that he said. What he actually said was more subtle.

IIRC, what got him roasted at the trial wasn't the "this was fake" comment, but his comments directed at a specific set of parents that he said were using the death of their kids to promote themselves, their agenda, and to try to profit from the tragedy. Which they kinda were.

I was never a fan of Alex Jones, or his brand of shock, but he was railroaded.

Like it or not, from better reports, guy had an SBR that was not papered under the NFA. So fed charges there and state.

And a lot of states forbid having long arms loaded in a vehicle (which includes SBRs btw) because of a) safety as even a modest rifle catridge can go straight through a vehicle and into the next, etc., and b) due to poaching.

I would imagine if you had an AR pistol loaded, you might get initially charged but released if the facts showed it was a pistol rather than an NFA SBR.

127 From BING AI
The term "gunsel" has a rich history, originally meaning a young, inexperienced boy traveling with an older tramp. It likely derives from the Yiddish word "gendzl," meaning "gosling" or "young goose," reflecting someone still learning the ropes.

Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at August 05, 2026 04:02 PM (zZu0s)

128 Note the courts have no rendered a judgement against the people that have claimed 9/11 was fake, or that the assassination of Kirk was by "da JOOs" or other arguments that are common in leftwing media

Which is how you know Jones was at least sneaking up on the truth. Everyone with eyes knows school shootings started as a Soros/Democrat tactic in the 90s to cause gun bans. It worked in the UK, it worked in Australia, it didn't work here.

130 Gunsel cont.

In the early 20th century, "gunsel" gained a new connotation, particularly through Dashiell Hammett's novel "The Maltese Falcon," where it described a nervous, gun-carrying henchman. The term was popularized in Western fiction and has since evolved to include various meanings, including slang for a catamite or a young male kept as a sexual companion.

This is the appeals judge overruling the lower court district judge who put out an order last week saying he couldn't do it.

But, yeah, the slight extension on work authorizations (provided so that the actual calendar on the SCOTUS order could be reached) is over and the Haitians have started losing their jobs.

Deportation orders I being fed through immigration courts now, which have a 93% rejection rate for asylum claims since Trump retook the office. Combine that with mega master hearings where judges hear dozens of cases in an hour or so, and you've got...these people are going home. Soon.

I thought there was no magazine capacity limit in federal law.
Posted by: Mark1971 at August 05, 2026 03:34 PM (CNl8/)




CA law. But possession alone isn't illegal, even today here in CA. Especially after the Freedom Week period a few years ago when transfer/purchase of standard capacity mags was legal in a short time between one of the Supreme Court decisions and subsequent injunction that shut it down again. Any gun parts company doing business on-line had their whole inventory sucked dry by CA gun owners that week.

Plus, for years you could purchase magazine repair kits that were just disassembled mags. As long as you never ended up assembling them into more standard cap mags than you started with, it wasn't a magazine, it was just a pile of 100% legal parts so when the springs or feed lips wore out on your mags, you could repair them to proper function.

I'm pretty sure that's just a throwaway charge to facilitate a plea deal in the future.

Trump has completely changed the immigration court system. He fired dozens of administrative judges that were granting asylum all the time and hired a bunch that say no to everything.

The driver of massively increased deportation orders if from this change. It creates the large pool from which ICE has to operate, and local police have to identify illegals they meet in regular interactions.

If Erica had wept continually and put herself under medical care for grief, Owens would just say its obviously too much and fake, thus proving that she's in on it.

Growing up with 3 sisters and 2 brothers I had a rich appreciation in the logistics of our family going anywhere, even out in the yard. I can't imagine why conspiracy theorists think adding more actors and more complications makes things more believable.

I mean if the Jews or French wanted Kirk dead, they could have just killed him themselves without suborning the wife and inventing exploding mikes.

1.5 million forced deportations in the last 12 months. Add in the first 4 months or so of Trump's second term, and it's probably about 1.7 million.

Self-deportation ratio is probably on the higher end because Trump is emptying out entire communities of illegals, incentivizing the rest to leave, all while Treasury regulations are making it impossible for illegals to interact with the American financial system at all (while OBBB cut them off from benefits), and the spectacle leftists and the media have made of ICE murdering people.

I suspect the number is over 6 million deported since Trump took office.

On average, Biden let in between 3 and 5 million per year.

Deep State is good at creating stories but not that good. I think it is more the fact that the murdered loathed everyone else for being happy and wanted them dead because of it. Always been that sort of evil sick twisted bastards around like the crank that blew up a school with dynamite way back in the 40's or 50's.

The Buffalo mass murderer who singled out blacks though was the one talking with a 'retired' Fed online. But the fact is one of these evil nutjobs inspires the next demonic nutjob to try to up the score because they are already dead inside and want others dead because of it.

But what I did not guess is that all that anger has been turned on the normies and on targets like Trump for not being supportive enough of their “transition”. I would have thought the anger would be unleashed on the charlatans in doctor’s whites who sold them this lie. You’d think they’d be angry at the “doctors,” not at the rest of us.

it certainly seems that the FBI tip line's total lack of response in cases where the dude went on to shoot things up is an interesting fact. Bureaucrats are lazy, but you'd think ordering up a response to look like a hero might happen sometimes.

Remember when they suddenly exposed those B class Hollywood Moms bribery scandal to get into mid-rate schools on a discount back when they had quite a bit of egg on their face? Think how much better nabbing a weird kid with a gun planning a shooting would look.

That being said, the judgment was unusually punitive and I would say, unconstitutional. It was meant to be confiscatory and deliberately take away all he had. That’s not how it works. I don’t care how ridiculous an offensive he was, that judgement completely lacked any protection of his constitutional rights.
Posted by: Vengeance

What you are arguing is proportionality but the problem here is that tort law is not restricted to actual damages but allows punitive damages so that it never occurs again. This is in lieu of criminalizing the acts themselves where Jones would instead go to prison and be heavily fined.

And Scotus has been very reluctant to reign in states on tort litigation. Closest is BMW v. Gore where the actual damages were 50k (IIRC) but the punitive was near 100 million awarded out of Alabama.

In this case, the ratios were less than that and Jones did not have enough to cover the damages awarded because each parent who was defamed could collect with punitive damages. So it was really more of a class of litigants rather than just one parent.

It's that America is successful because the land itself is magical.

This has two predicates:
1) Successful white Americans didn't do anything to be successful, the dirt did it. Or as Obama put it "you didn't build that".
2) Anyone from anywhere in the world could be brought here and be the next Bezos or Musk. And that it's in fact a moral requirement to bring everyone from everywhere here.

Pro-Men-In-Women's-Sports WNBA Coach: Boy It Makes Me Mad When Men Take Coaching Jobs from Women

Gee I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that she's not a player, but is a coach, and wants her own position defended against outside-her-gender competition.

WNBA coach Cheryl Reeve, who wore a shirt with the message "Trans Kids Belong" as an apparent troll of Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, previously called for a "Rooney Rule" in her organization to protect women's coaching jobs from being taken over by men.

In an interview on the podcast Good Game with Sarah Spain, Reeve openly expressed fear about men taking women's jobs in coaching positions.

"We had more women coaching college basketball before Title IX. After Title IX, when it became more important and more investment -- that was code for, 'well, that's a man's job.' You got paid more; it became a man's job," she said.

"To this day, we still don't have more women coaching in college basketball than we do men. Apply that same thing to two years ago, we lost seven WNBA coaches, they got fired, because all of the sudden, this money, the WNBA blew up," she continued. "Valuations of franchises. In comes the NBA folks again, who had cast us aside for many years. Now, they want their franchises back. That sorta thing. It's more important again. And then we have more men."

...

In response [to Sophie Cunningham], Reeve said that "every kid has a right to sports regardless of (being) gender diverse, transgender."


As you might have read, Clay Travis wants to end this bullshit. So he's made $10 million bet that he can put up any high school state champion boys' team against a top WNBA team. He's betting that $10 million that boys will win, because they literally always have when they've played women's professional teams.

This Quivering Lesbian Version of Egon Spengler was sure angry about that. She claims that Travis is putting women's safety in danger by encouraging them to play boys.

But she insists that trannies should be allowed in girl's sports:

Travis is also demanding that the woke WNBA have the courage of its convictions and draft this 6'3" man playing in the French women's leagues. He'll dominate the WNBA just like he dominates France.

By the way, the thing that never happens in girls' bathrooms continues never happening in girls' bathrooms:

Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow has a talk radio show/podcast that airs for one hour locally, and a few years back he had a similar idea to Clay Travis' to counter the Transtifa Transanity:

If just ONE major college would field a "women's" basketball team of all biological males pretending to identify as women -- and ultimately skunked every women's team in a season and easily won the NCAA National Championship, it would put an end to the entire idiotic business.

Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow has a talk radio show/podcast that airs for one hour locally, and a few years back he had a similar idea to Clay Travis' to counter the Transtifa Transanity:

If just ONE major college would field a "women's" basketball team of all biological males pretending to identify as women -- and ultimately skunked every women's team in a season and easily won the NCAA National Championship, it would put an end to the entire idiotic business.

Could be on the way. There's a French "female" basketball player named "Julie" Tetart who is really a man. And looks it. He's not even a good player, but he's so physically dominating against real women that he's tearing up the minor leagues in France.

It's only a matter of time that this comes to the WNBA. Then all the lesbians currently wearing "protect trans kids" shirts will be screaming bloody murder about trans players in their league stealing their jobs.

82 If I understand the position of the inclusive left correctly, a trans-woman (born a man then transitions) has no biological advantage over those born women. To look at it another way, those born women have no biological disadvantage when competing against men. If that is the case, why isn't the position of the inclusive left that there should be NO men's and women's sports but one sport where everyone competes equally?

Who can object if women, trans-women, trans-men and men all compete equally? No one is disadvantaged or advantaged, at least according to the reasoning of the inclusive left.

There is NO sport except for women's gymnastics and long distance cold water swimming where women have an advantage over men.

It is well documented that men out perform women in sports. And well documented that high school aged boys routinely outperform college or pro female athletes in multiple sports.

But we got to the uniform "equality of the sexes" by atheists.

Because expecting a default "equality" is easier than assessing a multi-faceted equality, where "equality" isn't really something that can be computed on the subject anyway.

Numbers are equal. Numbers also are abstract beyond properties. The more properties you add, the less ordering you have in a system the less "equal" applies.

But sure, what the hell let's just call it "equal".

About the best we can shoot at is some sense of "equivalence".

I'd probably watch a softball tournament if there was beer. It just doesn't inspire the same level of "fandom" as men's sports. As a result it doesn't make as much money. As a result, the teams and players don't make as much money. If you ladies watched as much ladies sports as men watch men's sports that would be fixed.

And then one day they basically just came out said of course we're leftards it's the only right and good thing to be, and fuck you for noticing, you queer pieces of shit.

The story has a hidden angle--the guy converted to Islam two years ago and Islamists are not supposed to alter their bodies by organ donation, incineration, or any other method other than burial.

But I can see greedy med establishment simply wanting to score some quick cash grabbing the organs while the body is still warm.

And that is biting organ donation organizations in their own ass along with people dependent on them. Charging hundreds of thousands for the donate organs without any care nor recompense to the grieving family is a practice that is ultimately self defeating. I quit being an organ donor because of overreach like this shit and this story will prompt more people to do so.

It's already happened and it didn't quite put an end to it. A few years back a college team put something like three trans players on it in CA. They won some, about 2 colleges in the conference refuse to play them and forfeited, they threw some games to not look invincible IIRC and it all got a bit nasty but it was enough to push back at the initial invasion. I think now college sports does not support trans women players now.

Look again. On his latest driver's license, he was no longer listed as an organ donor. They tried to claim that because he hadn't taken the additional step to remove himself from the organ donor registry, that didn't count.

Like men, it depends on how much a person has been shielded from the brutal facts of human nature and society. People shielded from the knife edge by wealth or being subsidized by someone else are often leftists because it does not 'cost' them anything for their views directly.

Someone like Karl Marx could spin his yarns of bullshit because someone else paid for it. Same as his collaborator Engles--those workers in the mills created the largesse that allowed both men to become sociopathic assholes sidewalk philosophers.

Would several months of blockades work where Iran is unable to import the feed necessary to keep its livestock alive, freezing of foreign assets to the tune of more than ten billion dollars, requiring the regime to use rials which are inflating by the day and becoming increasingly worthless to pay their soldiers?

Well, he has ordered two extended bombing campaigns against them.

260 The less naive a woman is the less leftist she is.

Young women are more leftist, like young people in general, because they haven’t learned to take everything a teacher, professor, or media celebrity tells them with a huge grain of salt.

It seems a lot of women never grow out of it, especially if believing everything they’re being told benefits them personally.

That’s why the cognitive dissonance is so strong with the trans issues, because their supporting men dressed as women in sports doesn’t benefit them personally, at all.

It’s turning into a red pill moment for women.

264 If Atheists as a social movement wanted to think more, Robert Owen, the inventor of "socialism", would have done something more when he discovered that he can't just create a new society by putting people on a commune where nobody does any work and he just pays for everything.

And Marx would have done more than theorize "You know the problem? Owen made it voluntary!!"

If we can just have a government to beat people into that shape, everybody having no more or no less than anybody else will give people "dignity" and solve all the problems so we'd never need government again"

And "religion is the opiate of the people" because--geeez! Look how easy all this is going to be once you take it rationally!

And yet, no matter how many times they fail there is a corpus of atheists who think that their conception of "rationality", i.e., thinking all the things I want to think because I haven't yet discovered their irrationality, because "improving society" is easy, once you're "rational".

They have to take the reins and structure society. And the moronicity of "Critical Theory" falls out of that crack.

The whole organ donation has become a racket with everyone getting something except for the grieving family. And this is simply where someone got pushed enough by assholes to go public with the high pressure come on from that organization.

And as American society changes from high trust to low trust, best take care of your existing organs because the donor base is shrinking quite a bit. Whites have the highest organ donation rate, others in the US are quite a bit lower in donor rates.

268 @226...add demonic to the equation.

Once they moved past making homosexuality accepted they moved on to pedo. I read a book about it in 2014, but at the time thought it not true. And here we are.

Is bestiality next? It starts out as rebellion and shock factor, then moves into mainstream with liberals.

It is demonic to think abortions are ok. Not just the brutal killing of the unborn, but the selective process, and the women who do this acting like a baby human is rubbish. The "clump of cells" Planned Parenthood sold us in the '70's became obsolete as soon as sonograms showed a heartbeat at 8wks. The women who act like this is a badge of courage, to have multiple abortions as if they are having teeth filled will be judged harshly. Some may figure it out before death and repent is all the kindess I can spare for them.

Children are not chattal to be abused in any way, especially sexual abuse. That as well is demonic and so horrific I can't think about it.

Revealed Documents: Corrupt FBI Operatives Opened Investigation of Trump as a RUSSIAN AGENT Because He Fired Their Ringleader James Comey

Gunther Eagleman
@GuntherEagleman

🚨 BOMBSHELL DROP

White House just declassified files showing Deep State operatives may have run a criminal conspiracy to crush Trump's civil rights, according to John Solomon.

FBI opened a full criminal probe treating Trump as a Russian agent simply for firing Comey. Codename: Oxford Comma. Goal? Force Mueller in.

Rosenstein green-lit the whole thing knowing exactly why Comey was gone.

Russia collusion was always a fraud. Time for consequences.

Adam Schiff needs to be jailed too.

John Solomon:


FBI Follies: Bureau secretly probed Trump as a Russian asset for firing Comey: declassified memos

Documents declassified by the White House Government Transparency Task Force show the investigation -- codenamed "Oxferd Comma" -- was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey's May 9, 2017 firing and was predicated on allegations that the bureau's own agents had mostly dismissed by that time.

The FBI opened a criminal probe specifically targeting Donald Trump in May 2017, alleging the newly elected president may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-Director James Comey even though the bureau's own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no collusion with the Kremlin.

Internal memos newly declassified by the White House show the investigation -- codenamed "Oxferd Comma" -- was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey's May 9, 2017, firing and was predicated on an allegation that previously released memos show the bureau's own agents had mostly dismissed.

"The FBI is opening a full investigation based on an articulable factual basis that reasonably indicates that President Donald J. Trump may be or has been, wittingly or unwittingly, involved in activities for or on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation which may constitute violations of federal criminal law or threats to the national security of the United States," the electronic communication opening the probe on May 16, 2017, stated.

Goal of the investigation was to determine if Trump was directed by or controlled by the Russian Federation

"The goal of the investigation is to determine if President Trump is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation in a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and/or a violation of federal criminal statutes," it added. "In addition, this investigation will also seek to determine whether President Trump and others yet to be named obstructed and/or conspiracy to obstruct any associated FBI investigation."

The memo, written by the FBI's counterintelligence division and approved by then-FBI General Counsel James Baker and then-Assistant Director for Counterintelligence William Priestap, made clear the concerns about Russian influence and obstruction included Comey's firing, in part because of the public explanations Trump gave for the termination.

"This alternative explanation can be reasonably read to imply that the FBI's counterintelligence investigation was a factor in President Trump's decision to terminate Comey," the memo stated.

In other words, James Comey was executing Hillary Clinton's op to investigate Trump as a RUSSIAN AGENT -- while lying to Trump about doing so, telling Trump there wasn't anything to these "scurrilous allegations" while secretly ordering an investigation -- and Trump fired him both for that absurd investigation and for lying to his superior and the Commander in Chief about it.

And then the FBI said, "his firing of Comey proves he's an asset of Russia."


Both the Acting FBI Director Andrw McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein were advised that the probe had been launched, the memos show.

The FBI marked the investigation as a "sensitive investigative matter" and declared it was "the least intrusive method to address the serious national security risk posed by the activities alleged."

But that decision proved anything but nonintrusive: it prompted the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller by Rosenstein and a nearly two-year probe that hampered the start of the Trump presidency even though Mueller's team, like the FBI before it, was unable to substantiate any collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign during the 2016 election.


A subsequent investigation by Special Counsel John Durham -- released by the Biden Justice Department in 2023 -- concluded there was no basis for the FBI to even open the original Crossfire Hurricane investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion.

TIMING MATTERS: Five Months BEFORE the FBI opened a criminal probe in May 2017 targeting @POTUS
as a potential Russian asset after he fired @Comey

FBI investigators already KNEW by January 2017 there were "serious questions about the reliability of the Steele (dossier) reporting..." according to DOJ watchdog Michael Horowitz.

The flawed Steele dossier underpinned the Russia collusion allegations.

The newly declassified 2017 FBI record @WhiteHouse
also stands out because it cites "multiple open source reports" as justification.

One of the most concerning elements of the FBI Russia collusion probes was "circular reporting" Here's how it works:

FBI officials (or their proxies) would leak information to a reporter, who would then publish the leak.

The same FBI officials would then cite the resulting media story to justify further investigative actions -- including surveillance warrants for a former Trump campaign aide.

Internal DOJ investigations would conclude Comey was fired for a number of reasons, including his mishandling of the Clinton case which violated "long-standing department practice and protocol."

We live in a police state. Sure, its not quite as obvious as East Germany was, but its the same result. We aren't really our own masters. We aren't in charge of our own money, or laws and we can't do anything they don't want us to do. And we can't complain about the things they want us to do that we don't like without being branded deplorable, fascist, racist, islamophobic, transphobes.

Honestly, Trump puts out bombshells of varying intensities when he is angling for the temperature of the support among the electorate, trying to get the idea into everyone's heads, distracting from an even bigger action he wants ignored for the moment, or paving the way for what he is going to do next.

Then something magical happened around 2013 where Russia became the most evil country in the world.

And on an unrelated note Russia banned gay international adoptions in 2013...

That plot got so complicated I forgot why Comey ever put Hillary back on the hot seat, thus possibly spiking her White House bid (she blamed him furiously). There was an explanation that was less conjectural than "doing it for show" and more of a procedural necessity. Can't remember what it was.

I was too opaque, there.

I wonder if the misspelling of Oxferd was the same, for indirect surveillance of databases, or simple typos by interns who shouldn't have been trusted without review.

135 Rod Rosenstein was a closet Deep Stater who pretty much did what the DC Ruling Caste told him to do. Because he wanted to continue to be a candidate for lucrative jobs in the high-ranks of Big Law Firms, when he eventually resigned or retired from FedGov.

We can't know if Sessions would have initially played the game a whole lot better. He quickly recused himself from all Trump Russia-Russia-Russia matters. For no reason other than appearances. That tells me he was no better at recognizing the evil motives of the DC Establishment and Deep State forces fighting Trump than Trump was in January 2017.

184 I often wonder if Hillary's "Filegate" (improper acquisition of FBI files to which she shouldn't have had access) was less about opposition research, and more about putting her team in place ahead of a planned presidential run.

Comey is a good example. In Bill Clinton's second term he got a nice promotion and shot right up the ladder. The same occurred with Peter Strzok. Comey left Hillary off the hook on the email server. Strzok led that investigation. Stzrzok joined the FBI at the start of Bill Clinton's second term and was in a management position in Richmond shortly after. That seems unlikely.

197 That plot got so complicated I forgot why Comey ever put Hillary back on the hot seat, thus possibly spiking her White House bid (she blamed him furiously). There was an explanation that was less conjectural than "doing it for show" and more of a procedural necessity. Can't remember what it was.

My memory is fuzzy, but I clearly remember that he was doing her favor, like Gandalf taking the ring from Bilbo. Something like, she broke black-letter law, and if he just pretended there was no crime then she could be brought up on charges at any indefinite time later (through the ongoing conspiracy to conceal it); but his clumsy non-exoneration tainted the case so badly she was effectively immunized.

I've long thought that that the "reported" 600 files were probably really on the order of 6000 or 60,000. Once they were caught with them it was a lot more palatable - with the media's serious lack of curiosity towards anything injurious to Democrats - to say "oh, jeez, how could that have happened? But it was only 600 so no biggie".


And they're been blackmailing our side ever since. Tell my I'm wrong.

218 It's a disgrace. It's been so for many years.

Can probably only hope the Comeys, Pelosis, Garlands, Bidens, Clintons, and even the Obamas, become of absolutely no value to the new breed other than they'll happily 'remove' a few properties and some stock - you know, "generational wealth" - from their vast portfolios.

Honeymoon? Here's the cutesy version of the Bidens in 1977.

It begins, StarLife Documented
February 17
·
Here is a detail about Jill Biden's honeymoon that almost nobody talks about, and it's genuinely wild. When she and Joe Biden got married on June 17, 1977, at the Chapel at the United Nations in New York City, they chose to spend their honeymoon at Lake Balaton in Hungary, which was at the time still firmly part of the Eastern Bloc under Communist rule. This wasn't some adventurous backpacker trip. This was a sitting United States Senator taking his new wife behind the Iron Curtain for their romantic getaway in an era when that kind of travel was genuinely unusual and politically eyebrow-raising."

Why the Bidens' and Obama's (and, yes, the Clinton's) obsession over the Balkans, Ukraine, etc.? 🧐 /R

225 Comey is a good example. In Bill Clinton's second term he got a nice promotion and shot right up the ladder. The same occurred with Peter Strzok. Comey left Hillary off the hook on the email server. Strzok led that investigation.

She, IMO, was serving as a gatekeeper on behalf of the establishment, and did so sparingly so as to remain in the position as long as possible.

NO WAY, they DOJ should have just quietly dropped the challenge to the Autopen abuse. But Bondi did, because it tied up the parties that were abusing it (Not Biden, he had no idea IMO)....but the political insiders that spread out to other policiticans and had the potential to rub off on them.

Why would she want to do that to Trump? She was very close to him and was one of his defense lawyers during the impeachment farce.

The entire Epstein bullshit was a clown show from day 1. No matter what was released the same idiots who claim that Trump was involved with Epstein despite the fact the was the guy who turned him in in Florida, offered to testify against him and then had his DOJ arrest him still claim he was involved with Epstein just like they still claim Russia collusion was ever real.

Bondi was dropped into the most corrupt agency in DC. She wasn't perfect, she made mistakes, so does Trump and everyone else, but I don't think she ever wanted to hurt Trump.

It's a little more complicated than that. Enzo did agree to sell the company to Ford. It was close to a done deal.

What blew the deal up was a last-minute insertion into the agreement by Ford that they would control the Ferrari race team.

Enzo didn't give a shit about Ferrari the car company. He loved the Ferrari race team more than his own family. There was no way he was gonna agree to give up control of the team.

Both sides were pretty sleazy about the whole thing. It was basically each side trying to fuck the other.

298 >>With that I will ask why would Sessions recuse?

Likely for the reason he explained in front of Congress. He was required by statute to do so. Sessions was part of the campaign and everyone on the campaign was being investigated including him. He was not allowed by statute to oversee and investigation he might have been implicated in.

Sessions was one of Trump's earliest supporters. First senator to endorse him long before anyone else got onboard. Long before Russia collusion was even contemplated.

I think Sessions was guilty of being a naive boy scout and followed the law not realizing the level of corruption he was up against. In hindsight it's easy to see but back in those early days when Comey bragged he setup Flynn by sending a couple guys to the White House to interview him and not go through proper channels because the Trump administration was just coming into office and not fully organized things weren't so clear. They were plotting against all of them.

Again, it obviously hurt Trump but it's not like the coup plotters were complete idiots. They were plotting to drive all of them out and destroy the entire administration.

And, that's not even close to the worst thing she did today. Check out her comments on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

What this means is the Dems have reopened their pipeline for campaign cash by laundering out Federal Grant money through cut outs and returning it into dem coffers via unscrutinized "grass roots" donations.

308 Barack Obama became the first U.S. president to use an autopen to sign a bill into law, employing the machine to sign legislation while he was out of the country, most notably in May 2011.

Key Autopen Occasions
May 26, 2011: While attending the G8 Summit in Deauville, France, Obama used the autopen to sign an extension of the Patriot Act to avoid its expiration.
November 28, 2011: He used the machine to sign an appropriations bill while in Indonesia.
January 3, 2013: While on vacation in Hawaii, he used the autopen to sign the "fiscal cliff" bill (American Taxpayer Relief Act) to meet a deadline while he was thousands of miles from Washington, D.C..

Context: While the autopen has been used by presidents for routine correspondence since Truman, Obama was the first to use it for official legislation, citing a 2005 Justice Department legal opinion that allowed a subordinate to affix the President's signature if directed.

Speaking from personal experience, root canals eventually fail, and the tooth comes out anyway. And it is a miserable process to endure. Better just to yank the offending tooth, and get an implant. The process is less painful to endure, and less time in the chair. Yes, it requires several visits.

And the price differential between a root canal and an implant is dropping. The extra money is worth it for the reduced discomfort, IMHO.

You'll recall those department heads at the EPA rushing Billions out in grants before Trump arrived in office (actually during the transition period of office change)...funds that are still sitting over at Citibank as far as I am aware while they fight it out in court.

The Secretary of the Agency needs to be responsible for each $ leaving the agency. Anything short of that is encouraging graft, and partisan application. It's also a spending deterrent in that they aren't going to risk their position over an oversight. It was a solid recommendation by the White House and the Budget office, and it was purposely shot down by Republicans.

This is the kind of oversight I voted for.

334 Lin-duh, you do want to get that decay out of your jaw. It can cause additional inflammation that you could do without. There is a link between dental inflammation and heart disease.

The Secretary of the Agency needs to be responsible for each $ leaving the agency. Anything short of that is encouraging graft, and partisan application. It's also a spending deterrent in that they aren't going to risk their position over an oversight. It was a solid recommendation by the White House and the Budget office, and it was purposely shot down by Republicans.

This is the kind of oversight I voted for.

Did I say that I opposed the change?

I'm saying that the killing of grants, which is documented and definitely in the hundreds of billions at this point, will continue no matter what this thing that didn't happen does. Remember, Trump has fired more than a third of the federal government civilian workforce.

And that the real solution is to win the next election.

There is no permanent fix. The only solution is always to win the next election because, yes, Democrats will continue to scam the system, no matter the rules.

Real spies are more like Richard Burton in The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, apparently.

They're more like those two former CIA douchebags Kiriakou and Bustamante who fag slap-fight each other on yootoob while disclosing every CIA technique and personality they can get away with. Turns out they're both apparently in bed with foreign intel services. Kiriakou has openly admitted to sucking off the Russians, because they pay him, and Bustamove is relocating out of the US (I think he's moving to the UK), probably because he recently got caught out as a bullshitter who claimed to be a CIA James Bond, but ended up being more like the janitor in the executive wing at Langley.

You wanna know who the current CIA is? Look at the slimy ass-spelunkers who get on yootoob claiming to be "former CIA" and running their pie-holes about the intel business.

338 I wonder if the misspelling of Oxferd was the same, for indirect surveillance of databases, or simple typos by interns who shouldn't have been trusted without review.
Posted by: Kindltot at August 05, 2026 01:44 PM (rbvCR)

I think I heard years back that the anti-Trump deep staters did this misspelling so that if someone overhears the operation, nothing will show up in searches looking for the proper spelling.

339 With all that's happened over the last decade, I'm not shocked anymore. As a matter of fact, I think the truth is even much worse that this.

340 Trump's reason for firing Comey was that he would not make a public statement that he is not under investigation(the lie Comey told Trump).

342 Reminder again, in Oct 2016 FBI received a Steele memo that included the tidbit Michael Cohen traveled to Prague in August to pay off hackers.

FBI then investigates this detail and finds a different Michael Cohen traveled to Prague.

This is evidence the dossier is a frame job. Obviously someone fed Steele Michael Cohen's travel info with the intention the FBI would look it up and put in the FISA application that we validated this portion of the dossier.
But whoever in the government looked up travel info made a mistake, revealing the plot.

The FBI ignored this detail and went ahead.
Jake Tapper revealed this detail on Twitter, but did not tell his viewers the dossier is a fake. Instead he complained to Buzazfeed for making the dossier public.

343 You can still watch the three part Dark State Hit Piece labeled as a Trump Biography put together to push the Steele Dossier on Prime. Chris Wallace stars with multiple snide insinuations of true lies.
