- Anthropic has submitted a draft filing for its IPO. (Tech Crunch)
They are seeking a valuation close to $1 trillion.

- Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts via the cunning plan of asking Instagram for them. (404 Media)
Well, that and using a VPN so that they appear to be in the right general geographical region, but mostly because Instagram support is used to dealing with dumbasses who keep forgetting their passwords.
- Multiple laptop makers are preparing to launch models with Nvidia's new RTX Spark chip and eye-watering price tags. (The Verge)
Look at models with AMD's AI Max chips for a guideline, and add between 50% and 100% on top of that.
- Wizards of the Coast are reportedly in the process of remaking the classic computer games Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. (WCCFTech)
Baldur's Gate 3, developed externally by Larian, was a massive hit, but Larian found Wizards of the Coast so toxic to work with that they want nothing to do with DLC or a sequel.
- AMD's Radeon 9070 GRE is a thing that exists. (Tom's Hardware)
Actually it has existed as a China-only product for a year now and the only change was the global release, so there are already plenty of reviews of its technical capabilities. What's new is the price, and the price is awful.
At $400 it would be interesting. Below $400, compelling. It costs $550 - as much as the faster and readily available Radeon 9070.

People wonder that? I I don't . I think social media is one of the worst inventions of humankind. From what I can figure out from reading various websites ,it seems to be mostly people insulting each other. I can get crabby and cranky, but I'd really rather insult people in person😉

I spent around $200.00 on supplements on Amazon to combat my cancer tonight after talking with a friend that is winning his battle against it by taking them.
In other news I'm looking for a new computer, probably a laptop as I no longer have the urge to build one. Pixy recommendations welcome for a mid range rig for mild gaming are most welcome.

There really are only two laptops worth considering, the Lenovo Legion 5 and MSI Vector HX.
The the vector has more raw horsepower, but it’s going to cost slightly more and it’s really a desktop shaped like a laptop in that it’s a big honking laptop that your not going to be taking anywhere and it’s going to have to be plugged in most of the time.

Whistleblower claims CIA used DNA data from Ancestry and 23andMe customers in search for aliens
Jorjani claimed that he was alerted to this bug-hunting initiative by army veteran Lyn Buchanan, who claims he was a “psychic spy” with the CIA’s remote viewing program — which investigated whether individuals could use extrasensory perception to conduct recon on distant objects, events or people.
Jorjani. 3
“They live in like small towns in the [Colorado] Rockies, and they pass because they look like tall Scandinavian people,” remarked Jorjani (pictured). YouTube/@jessemichels Jorjani said Buchanan had informed him that former CIA analyst and UAP specialist Christopher “Kit” Green had devised a backdoor way of accessing 23andMe and Ancestry — uber-popular sites that break down users’ family trees — to screen users for a specific “genetic variance” linked to nonhuman beings. Green was notably part of the Remote Viewing Program in the 1970s, but left the intelligence agency long before the founding of the DNA detective sites. Buchanan reportedly learned of this so-called campaign after being approached at a diner by three individuals claiming to be Nordics — tall, blue-eyed, blond visitors from beyond that are said to be living covertly among us.

Glen took a dream vacation to Paris. He saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. He definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so he picked out the nicest restaurant he could afford. He was waiting for his table at the bar when the beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of him. It was in French, which he couldn’t read. When he was seated, he asked his waiter if he could tell him what it said. The waiter said, “Yes, of course, let me see it.” Upon reading it, the waiter had Glen forcibly removed from the restaurant. Now Glen was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant, trying to figure out what just happened. A police officer came by and asked what he was doing. Glen explained “Well, I came to take my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant.” “Hhmmmm…” said the police officer “You better let me see this note.” So Glen gave note to the police officer. Upon reading the note the officer put Glen under arrest. Glen was brought before a magistrate, where he protested “Your honor, I have done nothing wrong, I don’t know why I’m here. See I came to take my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, he had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest.” “Bring this note forward.” Ordered the judge. Glen gave the note to the judge. Upon reading the note the judge ordered Glen to be exiled from France. Glen soon found himself on an airplane out of France back to America, which annoyed him as he still had several days left in his trip. A French businessman seated next Glen asked him, “So what’s your story?” Glen took a deep breath and then said “It started when I came to take my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest. I was subsequently brought before a judge, and when he saw the note, he ordered me to be exiled from France. And I still don’t even know what it says.” “That’s quite a tale.” Remarked the businessman. “Do you still have this note?” Glen did and he gave it to the businessman. Except, instead of telling Glen what it said, he paged a flight attendant over. The flight attendant read the note and then went to talk to the pilot. Upon reading the note, the pilot personally threw Glen out of the plane. Now the pilot wasn’t completely heartless, he did give Glen a parachute first. Glen didn’t see that it mattered too much one way or the other, as they were over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. However, as it happened, a ship was passing by and Glen was able to land right on it. Naturally Glen was brought before the captain, who wanted to know how Glen came to be on his ship. Glen explained “My story starts with what I thought would be my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest. I was subsequently brought before a judge, and when he saw the note, he ordered me to be exiled from France. And I still couldn’t believe it when the pilot of my plane found out what the note said he had me thrown out of the plane.” “Wow. That must be some note.” exclaimed the captain. “You must let me read it, I speak French.” “No,” replied Glen “I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to show it to anyone else.” Everyone was disappointed, but Glen was firm that no one would get to see this note. They found a bunk for Glen to stay in for the week-long trip to America. It was a cargo ship, and everyone else was working, so Glen thought that he ought to work as well even though no one asked him to. He helped prep food, serve and clean up in the mess hall. Everyone agreed that they were better off having Glen make the coffee. He was even offered a permanent position upon the ship. Of course people kept pestering Glen to see this famous note, but he kept it a secret. Towards the end of the journey, as he felt that he had gotten to know everyone and bonded with them, he decided that it would be ok to show the captain the note. Glen was immediately thrown overboard. He was close enough at this point that he could swim ashore to his home state of New Jersey. After getting home and cleaning himself up, Glen called his girlfriend. “Glen!” She cried “You weren’t on your return flight, I made so many phone calls, I had no idea what had happened, I thought you were dead!” Glen took a deep breath and began explaining. “As you know I went off on what I thought would be my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a rather unattractive bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest. I was subsequently brought before a judge, and when he saw the note, he ordered me to be exiled from France. And I still couldn’t believe it when the pilot of my plane found out what the note said he had me thrown out of the plane. I wouldn’t have survived except I had the luck to land on a passing ship. I didn’t want to show them the note, you understand, but for a week they badgered me to see it, and I still had no idea what it said, so I eventually let them see it. Inevitably once they saw it they threw me overboard. I still have the damn note--the paper is very good quality--and the mystery is killing me.” Glen’s girlfriend had some doubts about this story, but instead of directly calling Glen out about it, she offered “My uncle speaks French, we could ask him what it says.” So the two of them met and headed over to the uncle’s house. Glen told his story to the uncle--which we will omit here in the interest of time--and checked that there were no firearms in the house before handing over the note. The uncle said, “I can translate this for you, just let me get my reading glasses.” The uncle put the note down on the coffee table and went to get his glasses. Just then a gust of wind came through and blew the note out the window, and it was never to be seen again.

The first step is to soak them in brine for a week, then rinse and soak in brine for two months, and then pickle them in a vinegar pickle for a couple of days.
You have the choice of keeping them in olive oil after that, or leave them in the pickle.

In medical news, I had my CT Scan this morning, then saw the oncology surgeon this afternoon.
Everything looks good/stable - no new tumors, and the ones that are there have pretty much stayed the same or shrunk ever so slightly (so much so that it could just be user interpretation). No metastises seen, so that is good, too.
Apparently I CAN stay on this protocol more than 6 months at a time, so we are going to continue to do fills with the medication, alternating with "placebo" fills every other 2 weeks as before.
I will say that the doctor seemed QUITE pleased with my progress; I am not sure that when he first saw me 20 months ago that he thought that I would still be kickin' it all these months later. I have apparently responded EXTREMELY well to these protocols. Honestly, it's just luck of the draw - many others have been on these same meds and not had good results.
Those prayers are working, folks! We are extremely grateful for each and every one of them.
So good news all around! 😊♥️

Then I remembered Renee Zelweger and Kenny Chesney's even briefer marriage. I didn't listen to him, either, because I also didn't like looking at him. He may have some good music as well.
I have always wondered for a nanosecond per decade about these couples.
These are my thoughts for June 1st.
I am glad the Colorado aliens are blonde with blue eyes vs Somolian.
I almost feel normal again after family virus/trip/exhaustion and vast irritation that I missed most of May.
I remain irritated by the weird spring and my roses being as confused as I am about my world. I am unsure what this is going to mean for the rest of the year, but it's a sign.

That quote is a memorable moment from the classic sci-fi action film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981).
It happens during the scene where the refinery community's leader, Pappagallo, is trying to convince his people to make a dangerous break for the coast using the fuel tanker. A cynical member of the community named Big Rebecca shuts down his inspirational speech by telling him:
"Words, just words. You're going to die for a pipe-dream."
Immediately after she says it, the Warrior Woman speaks up to defend the plan, and Max (Mel Gibson) quietly starts prepping his shotgun, showing he's ready to drive the rig.

That's a big part of a lot of that lore. There's a bunch of different strains of that lore. But the classic Sitchin Anunnaki version has of course, the Anunnaki creating humans by genetic engineering. And they were a bunch of horn dogs (The "sons of God" and "daughters of men"). Also, the female Anunnaki dug the human Paolos big time, too.
And the Nordic/Tall-White (Pleiades/Lyra) females are basically some sci-fi horny nerd type of fantasy. Think Natasha Henstridge or Syndey Sweeny playing tall hot she-aliens.

I found a little tiny spiral bound notebook from 4th grade that I think should be published in all the weirdness of my then mindset.
It has pages of "foreign" auto plates invading our neighborhood. A brief spy week or two with my brother.
A mention of a birthday party and I was NOT inviting Carol Ross (whoever she was and unsure what she did to me).
Plus drawings of various Barbie type women with bullet boobies. One of a RN in a cap holding a baby (I was a newborn nurse decades later but did not wear my cap with scrubs...a foretelling).
The entire lyrics of My Old Kentucky Home appear for reasons unknown. That made me laugh as well.

I fell in love with young Mel and love that movie. Old Mel ain't so bad either, altho I don't like his beard (he didn't ask me).
He's still high on my list. By all accounts he's much fun with his female costars. I love a wicked man with blue eyes. Also my wicked blonde husband with green eyes.
Tonight he examined the remains of my cooking chicken with ligonberry sauce for his highness.I screwed up and did not saute the chicken breasts in the same pan as the veg. So I had to use two pans to brown the chicken and it left a breaded mess and I poured water in that to lessen the ordeal later of clean up.
At first he thought I'd had an episode and the 1" water was oil. He was very calm about it all, wondering briefly of disposal, and I had to laugh. I've been weird for weeks post near cholera but not THAT weird to brown chicken in an inch of oil.

Both movies depicted real events, to a point. Escape was much closer to the history, though still modified for movie purposes.
There was a bridge on the river Kwai in Thailand, but it wasn't like the one portrayed in the movie, IIRC. It was a low, partly steel bridge with cement piers. Thailand (I believe) actually renamed a stretch of a river Kwai to sort of match up the movie and real history. A fascinating true story involves one of the Japanese army overseers and a British officer captive. The Brit officer testified at the Japanese officer's post-war tribunal, to support clemency. Don't recall the details but it was one of those "where do we find such people?" events.

Don't recall the actors names or the real-life equivalents' names, but the senior British officers in The Great Escape and Bridge on the River Kwai were not the same actors (well, I remember Alec Guiness as that character).
James Donald was a British officer in both movies.

Gary Oldman was fantastic in a a small, largely forgotten film called "The Firm." If you're a big Oldman fan I think you'd enjoy it-- if you can find it. He made it before he got famous. Be warned, though: it's about soccer hooligans.

Now the islamic peaceful religion would burn the theater down and jihad the entire cast and crew (I saw it on Amazon Prime).
The only B movies I did not see were on a few HS dates to drive in movie wrestling matches.
We saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at a drive in with my no longer best friend and her brother. The only movie I can recall from a drive in because no one was trying to maul me.
I still can't figure out why my first date stuck his tongue in my ear at a drive in when I was trying to eat popcorn and drink my Coke. I wanted to inform the poor boy that I clean my own ears, thanks. If it was magic to turn me on it backfired spectacularly.

Too bad you didn't like GWTW.
I thought the scene in the cathouse, where Rhett is trying to disguise the fact that Ashley has been shot, was brilliantly written.
It was a nice touch to have Melanie walk over to Belle (the madam) and thank her for helping to save Ashley, too.

That's a true friend who helps bury the dead Yank with you after you try to steal her husband.
Scarlett was a good friend as well to help deliver Melanie's baby as the Yankees burned Atlanta and she gave Prissy a good slap (my favorite part as that is exactly how I feel sometimes with people).

I still fool people into thinking I am nice. They don't know what lies beneath the smile. I can turn on a dime and slash throats (if I had a knife and the energy and it was not too hot).
I mostly stay home and behave vs turned loose in public. I was too tired on our recent trip to get into much trouble or cause alarm.
Rare people have seen this turn of my personality at work and at play in my distant youth. It comes as a surprise to the witnesses as well as the person I heap coals on.

I plan to leave a letter for my granddaughters (and another to grandson or grandsons). I might be in heaven by the time they arrive at this moment. However, their parents are raising them well and we did the best we could with our sons not to settle for less. To know their worth.
Son #1 had us worried as he dated many, many girls. Including, briefly, one trashy girl in HS who knew I did not like her. It was thankfully very brief and he was wiser in college. Had his heart broken by a witch. Did things we did not approve of, etc. Found a lovely girl 12yrs younger who is incredibly sweet to marry.
Son #2 married his HS sweetheart and they gave us our 3 grands. She's lovely as well. So I have hope for the next generation of our loves.
I think I would mostly say to a girl that they won't feel the same for this guy in later years unless it is a very rare thing and he is not just trying to get into her pants.
I was popular enough in HS without leaving a trail of misery and weirdness.

Fair enough. If you are a programmer and your program does bad things you are responsible. No matter how much you claim 'computer error'. Heard that shit since '80s and it is still bullshit.
If you make a product and it causes injury it's on you. We can blame lawyers for all the warnings on a ladder, but yes you have to tell people "this is not a step", especially if you make it look just like the step-steps.

He was 19 and pressuring me for sex.. She thought he was a great guy. It was fucked up. She would yell. Then cry. I never knew what to expect. I got away as soon as I could and made sure she would never have a grandchild to hurt. That is a sad, fucked up story

No, but it will happen eventually. The baby mom hasn't had the baby at the condo overnight in over two months. She gives him to her dad and stepmom. My son is angry as hell, kicked her out, and is now working toward finding a way to have him full time, but he can't if he is going to work and making peanuts. So, looks like both the boy and grandboy will be coming to my house to live, and I will be raising the grandboy, which the boy goes to work.
Not the worst scenario, but we need to convince the baby mom that she isn't being the mother, she just wants to think she is. Probably won't be that hard, since she really just wants to party alla time.

While in Ireland and bumming around with our Priest in the backcountry, we came upon numerous herds of sheep.
He'd stand there and whistle dog herding directions to the sheep and would drive them right, left, towards us, etc. even without a dog present. I honestly didn't think the sheep were that smart.

On the other hand I liked Bronco Billy with its hopeful message that you can be whatever you want to be. Joe Kidd, written by Elmore Leonard, seems much like a paperback Leonard Western; which is to say, good. And Unforgiven is superb, both for his performance as Munny and for his direction.

Everything looks good/stable - no new tumors, and the ones that are there have pretty much stayed the same or shrunk ever so slightly (so much so that it could just be user interpretation). No metastises seen, so that is good, too.
Apparently I CAN stay on this protocol more than 6 months at a time, so we are going to continue to do fills with the medication, alternating with "placebo" fills every other 2 weeks as before.
I will say that the doctor seemed QUITE pleased with my progress; I am not sure that when he first saw me 20 months ago that he thought that I would still be kickin' it all these months later. I have apparently responded EXTREMELY well to these protocols. Honestly, it's just luck of the draw - many others have been on these same meds and not had good results.
Those prayers are working, folks! We are extremely grateful for each and every one of them.
So good news all around! 😊♥️

so disappointing. I got a little excited because the plot of that movie is driven by the New Mexico land controversy, which I had studied a little. but a boring movie.
(The Mexicans had granted nearly all of New Mexico to a few well-connected businessmen called "impressarios." This grant seemed to be illegal under Mexican law, and anyway, US settlers didn't want to honor it anyway. For years and years the question of who actually owned this land, the settlers (many who'd bought it from prior owners) or these Mexican impressarios (and the people they'd sold it to) raged. I think this controversy was a background political question in the Billy the Kidd "Regulator" feuds, too.
Ultimate resolution: The Mexican impressarios owned the land (or the people they'd sold it to) and anyone who'd bought it from anyone else was screwed.)

I grew up on Clint's westerns and the Dirty Harry movies but the ones I think I enjoy rewatching the most is Heartbreak Ridge, In the Line of Fire, Space Cowboys and Absolute Power. I was a young adult when i watched those as opposed to the earlier movies I watch as a kid with my Dad. The newer ones just felt more like mine; not sure if I'm saying it well. Loved Pale Rider and Unforgiven as well.

I saw Roger and Ebert ding it for having a let-down of a third act. They said they weren't sure what the plan was at that point. Which I guess I agree with: I understood most of the plan but not when they got into the walls. I guess there could have been more in the movie showing Eastwood mapping out the escape route and maybe a little more excitement.

In the cool thing we won't be able to see dept, another astronomical event on June 17. The waxing crescent Moon will occult Venus, and it will be in the sky for all the continental US. Unfortunately it will be broad daylight. Only the eastern tip of Brazil will be able to see it much in darker conditions:
t.ly/SYp6V
Lunar occultations of Venus happen somewhere on the globe about a couple times per year. Half of those are in daylight. And it works out that a visible such event will happen at a given location about once in 31 years on average.

Suffice it to say that all 3 of us gals have WONDERFUL memories - I would even like to maybe go back there and spend more time in the Metropolitan Museum. We also had to ditch a couple of planned items, as we just ran out of time!
But there are other adventures that Paul wants to be a part of - the grandsons will be out of daycare/preschool for a week in August, so I am hoping that we can escape the Texas heat and see some sights then.

Tommy Lee Jones death at the end of "Space Cowboys" is an almost exact copy of the death of an old sick man - D. D. Harriman - in Heinlein's "The Man Who Sold the Moon".
I called my fellow Heinlein fan brother-in-law and asked if he had seen "Wrath of Khan". He yelled back "They stole it! Green Hills of Earth!"
He called me years later, and asked if I had seen "Space Cowboys" yet.
I yelled back "D. D. Harriman! They stole the ending!"

The two Harper movies are really quite good - I wish Newman would have done a few more.
James Garner in Marlowe (1969) seems to be mostly forgotten, but I think it's a good movie - and it has Rita Moreno perform one of the best strip club nudie dance scenes ever put to film. Even my wife, when we were watching it, had to say "wow, she's good!"

I saw Gran Torino as a story about what happened to Dirty Harry when he was old and retired, and he had no family, and nobody cares about him and he doesn't care about anybody.
I think Eastwood lets the character find redemption on his own terms.

Yes I'm going to review it. I loved the first four episodes, which do a great job of recreating a genuine hard-boiled mystery noir. The later eps turn more to sci-fi superhero stuff and while it's still good, I wish it had just stayed noir.
Unfortunately I, and many many others, cannot watch in Black and White. The choice does not appear on our screens. I guess I can try watching on another tv where the choice does appear, but that one's smaller and not as good.

Video Released of Cops Chatting Amiably with Sikh Murderer as the Victim Henry Nowak Bleeds to Death on the Ground
One cop asks the killer, "Anyone injured besides 'im?" with disdain. Meaning, they knew damn well he was stabbed, and didn't care if he died or not.
Because he was a Racist. The nice Sikh person who stabbed him to death said so, and we must never, ever question the word of a brown person. Suella Braverman is formerly a "Conservative" Member of Parliament who defected to Reform. (Maybe one day she'll defect again to Restore.)Suella BravermanReform UK's shadow councillor:
@SuellaBraverman 1h This body cam footage is extremely shocking. You can hear Henry Nowak's pleas about being unable to breathe. And you can hear how the police dismissed them and failed to take action to try to save his life. This is not just about knife crime. This is about police failure, poor police training and anti- white racism. Who is going to be held accountable for this scandal?
Robert JenrickListen to him scream in pain as they cuff him. Who cares what pain a Racist experiences after a justifiable stabbing by a minority properly punishing him for his Racism? These cops are all still on the payroll. No offer of compensation has been made to Nowak's family for the murder they were co-conspirators in. Caution on the videos below: You will see agents of the state callously, almost gleefully, killing a man. And not a single American media outlet is covering it.
@RobertJenrick 1h WARNING: Incredibly distressing footage. The bodycam footage has finally been released of Henry Nowak's last moments.
He was the victim, but treated like a criminal. "I can't breathe" he says, over and over again. Instead of helping him the police arrest him on false charges of racism. Harrowing. It's hard to escape the conclusion he was treated differently because he was white.
This body cam footage is extremely shocking.

This is not just about knife crime. This is about police failure, poor…
ConversationI'm not kidding -- the cops murdered him. And not just by slow-rolling his medical care. By putting him in a position where it was mechanically impossible for his lungs -- which were filling with blood -- to breathe, they murdered him.

@EricLDaugh
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Police just released the bodycam footage in the killing of 18-year-old white male Henry Nowak and it CONFIRMS the police LAUGHED HIM OFF when he said he got stabbed Straight-up says: "I've been stabbed." COP: "Whereabouts? Don't think you have, mate!" NOWAK: "*Groaning* I CAN'T BREATHE." COP: "Put your hand in the cuff." Nowak says he can't breathe again. Then again while they just stand there. "We have to check [if he was stabbed], don't we?" THESE COPS ARE COMPLICIT IN THE MURDER!! THERE SHOULD BE WORLDWIDE OUTRAGE.
Weird how when a white man says "I cannot breathe" he's completely ignored. Even when there's a good reason for the inability to breathe -- six stab wounds plus being cuffed into a position that would make breathing even harder. Henry's father:

Katie MillerHere's Starmer grieving for George Floyd. Who didn't even die in the British Isles. Update: A former senior police officer in the UK makes excuses, claiming he's being "objective" while the rest of us are acting "emotionally." The interviewer points out the first thing they victim said is "I've been stabbed" and that the position he's in won't allow him to breathe. But the cops' -- and the governments' -- lie is that they didn't know he was stabbed because the Sikh Digwa lied to them.
@KatieMiller 5m Keir Starmer spoke out publicly about George Floyd at least 7 times. He has mentioned Henry Nowak;s name only once. Why is the standard different for a crime against a White man?

Depending on where he was stabbed, and I still don't know exactly where, cuffing him with his hands behind his back could make him bleed out more, and no doubt inhibited his breathing.
At one point a cop says "I think he's going to be sick" as if his problem was that he was drunk, not stabbed.

And so on up the line. They're all gullible fools, either to aliens or to each other, and they should all be sacked without pension.

That the only difference between minorities and Whites was due to racism.
And it was sold, they would prove it, by merely giving minorities an equal chance.
And then a hand up.
And then extra help.
And then a whole official and unofficial code of extra help.
To the point of ignoring and denying any and all failures of minorities.
And when all that--inevitably and predictably--also failed, there is only one thing left to do:
Drag down and punish Whites.
Even to the point of killing them.
Because of a lie.
A single, grotesque lie.
A lie that has metastasized for decades to rot the whole body politic.
To the point of killing innocents to keep an ugly lie alive.
Policy:
It is better that 10,000 white Britons are raped or killed than a single cop suffer a moment of guilt over accusations of racism.

“This is an absolutely tragic case and my sympathies are absolutely with Henry’s family, his friends and his loved ones.
I want to apologise, I want to say that I am sorry that Henry couldn’t be saved that night. I’m sorry that he was handcuffed and arrested in the moments before he lost consciousness.
It’s quite clear that officers didn’t understand what had happened immediately, and that is some of the context I would ask people to understand.
There had been a delay from those who chose eventually to call them.
There were lies, lies from Henry’s killer in that 999 phone call, further lies from his killer as officers arrived on scene.
Despite Henry telling officers he had been stabbed, it took them some minutes to realise what had really happened.
But within three minutes of that engagement with Henry, they were giving him first aid. They had taken the handcuffs off and they were giving them first aid.”

When the Fergusen riots occurred, I distinctly remember hearing "In Fergusen, of all places". The reporter was in disbelief.
After I heard that, I looked into it. Fergusen had previously been considered a quite well integrated community.
But when criminals can allege that some black criminals can be gunned down for "just being black", the whole "integration" shreds like kleenex.

Henry Nowak, 18, suffered a stab wound to his chest and two to the back of his legs after getting into a row with Vickrum Digwa. When police arrived officers handcuffed the teenager after his killer accused him of launching a racist attack. Published May 28
In part, Vickrum Digwa was convicted of murdering 18-year-old Henry Nowak by stabbing him to death with a Sikh kirpan ceremonial knife with an eight-inch (21cm) blade.
The 23-year-old told police he was the victim of a racist attack after he knifed the finance student five times in Southampton on 3 December 2025.
He also did not tell officers he had stabbed the first-year student with the Sikh kirpan, as officers arrested and handcuffed Mr Nowak.

“We referred ourselves immediately to the Independent Office of Police Conduct the following day and they’ve been independently investigating ever since.
We are absolutely committed to acting on their findings.
It’s clear to me the circumstances were complex. For example, Henry’s significant wound, the wound that was fatal, was deep and internal.
The pathologist was clear in court that it would have been hard to find. The bleeding was inside Henry’s body.
Sadly, there was nothing the officers could have done that night to save him.
We should always listen to someone who is telling us they are injured. Of course, we will look at this and see what we can incorporate into our training, particularly first aid training, in order to improve, and we want to improve every day, the response of our officers.
That is an absolute tragedy and, of course, if there’s anything we can learn from it, we will.
These are private matters for the family and for others. What I’d say is we are absolutely open to any challenge or scrutiny that must come.

Because, to exclude racists minorities--who will never vote to convict their tribe--from the jury is racist.
So they have to take that right away from everyone in a desperate attempt to avoid addressing the real problem.
And they'll do that here soon.
Note last week's SCOTUS ruling that still bitterly clings to the disgusting myth that blacks can't get a fair jury trial unless the entire jury are blacks.

So was Tommy Robinson in his EDL years (which had a few Sikh on staff iirc).
Tribalism sucks and I don't want to be a tribalist, because it likely won't end well for me either. The Sikhs in Britain missed an opportunity to show they weren't just another smelly northwest Indian tribe. They have, so far, failed.

Well, it's all relative. For India, up near the muzzies, they are great. Their culture is much much better than the muzzie culture, but they are still tribal. Very very tribal. Killing a white is not a problem for them. This is a very big problem.
The West does not understand tribalism. We had better learn, and become tribal back at them damn quick.

hmmm, I think "we" must be some sort of "tribalists". MAGA tribalists perhaps. And that may also mean Christian tribalists. No, we don't force people to join our religion, but we can prefer "our own". Our constitution perhaps defines "our tribe". But that too, may be inadequate.
Inside our nation, the constitution perhaps is not enough to "define us". We can still "prefer our own", though many laws seem to be "racist" against the White Christian man. All other tribes are free to conspire together, but not the White Christian Man. Tannies Unite, Blacks Unite, Muslims Unite ... White Christians .. "NO, your are evil white supremacists that must submit".

Another Migrant Who Can't Speak a Word of English Plows His Vehicle Into Americans, Killing a Family of Four, Another Woman, and Leaving Forty Injured
Plus: The Adulterous Nazi Communist Is Also a Cokehead
He's a naturalized American citizen -- but he can't speak a word of English.
Gee, I wonder during which "president's" administration this murderous and illiterate migrant was permitted to become "an American"? Any guesses? I would guess Biden but I don't actually know that yet. The media doesn't seem too interested in asking questions about this killer.As the cars slowed, came to a halt, and started creeping along again among the cones and flashing lights, doing that dreaded stop-and-go we're all so familiar with, a full-sized passenger bus carrying travelers on a trip from New York to North Carolina plowed into the line of cars at full speed. The devastation and chaos were immediate and horrifying. In the tangled, crushed wreckage of vehicles, five people lay dead, and forty-four were injured. A mass casualty scene. ... Jing S. Dong is technically a naturalized American citizen, but has only been one for a couple of years and cannot speak nor write a single word of the King's English.Kathy Hochul's NY state gave this fraudulent migrant a CDL. Here's the family he annihilated. All four burned to death in the wreckage after he fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into one car, killing the woman inside, and turned her car into a projectile that then smashed into this family:
💔🚨 Look at the photograph one more time before you read this. The seven-year-old in the blazer. The thirteen-year-old in her school uniform. They were killed six hours after their mother finished baking for a wedding.

@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: The US Department of Transportation confirms to @FoxNews
that they have issued a subpoena to the state of NY after they allege the state has refused to cooperate with their investigation into Jing Shen Dong, the bus driver who allegedly caused a crash that killed five people in Stafford County, VA on Friday morning. DOT says Dong is a naturalized US citizen who was born in China, doesn't speak English, and received his commercial driver's license (CDL) from the state of New York. DOT says the subpoena is a result of not being able to "obtain the requested documents through other reasonable means." DOT is demanding that New York turn over records on Dong's CDL, his entry level driving training, and the driving school he attended. DOT says those documents must be turned over by Wednesday at 10AM ET, or face consequences/penalties.
On to the cokehead communist. Graham "Pussy Hustler" Platner, the Nazi aroused by shit, claims he's an "oyster farmer" and a "harbor master." Well, the oyster farmer "job" is a scam -- his friend owns the plot where the oysters are farmed and all oysters are sold to a single client, his wife's mother. This is obviously a fake-job created by the family so he doesn't have to admit he's a welfare bum whose job is "Pussy Hustling" on reddit all day. He also claims to be a "harbor master," a "job" that pays a nominal salary $2,000 per year and is very much a part-time clerical job "managing" the "couple of boat launches" in the town. The town council questioned whether such a job was even required to exist, but they decided they should give professional layabout and always-online internet Edgelord Graham Totenkopf Platner the gig.
Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner often touts his role as harbormaster of Sullivan, Maine, as proof of his "working class" bona fides, saying on his campaign website that he "serves the town of Sullivan as Harbormaster" and claiming during a February podcast interview that he's "been the harbormaster for the last two years." He actually held the role for roughly 18 months before quitting to launch his Senate campaign--and it was largely a "clerical" one, according to local records and people familiar with the position. Platner's predecessor as Sullivan harbormaster resigned in February 2022, the records show, and the town got by without one for more than a year. By April 2023, town officials began discussing whether there was a "need for Harbor Master (HM)," according to meeting minutes from Sullivan's Harbor Committee. The committee noted that it was "not clear that a full time HM is needed" because "operations in the Harbors are handled by those who use the Harbors without dispute." Platner then "offered to be identified as HM if required by law," though the committee said that it was "not clear that one is required" and that the role's "largest challenges are clerical" and "can be handled by the Harbor Committee." About six months later, in September 2023, the town agreed to hire Platner as "an interim Harbor Master until one could be hired," records show. The local newsletter, the Town Crier, first listed Platner as "Harbor Master: Interim" in December 2023. At a March 2024 town meeting, Platner "announced that he is officially a qualified Harbor Master"--a designation that comes with the completion of a basic training course--and subsequent editions of the Town Crier dropped the "Interim" from Platner's title. Platner served in the role until the summer of 2025, when he launched his candidacy, according to Sullivan town manager Ray Weintraub, who told the Washington Free Beacon that the role generally consisted of collecting rent fees for the town's moorings and ensuring they were "allocated properly." "We don't really have any working waterfront, so to speak, other than a couple of boat launches," he explained. Platner's inflated description of his harbormaster tenure marks the latest instance of the left-wing Senate candidate and self-described "working class Mainer" misrepresenting his background.Being working class requires 1, not being born into privilege and going to private school and 2, working. The Reddit-addicted Pussy Hustler also says he bought coke while on active duty "on the government's dime" and has, of course, "no regrets."
Do the anti-Nazi, anti-Toxic-Masculinity hysterics of the Democrat Party realize they're about to nominate Andrew Tate as their senate nominee in Maine? Some are worried about the optics of nominating Andrew Tate as Maine senate candidate.
'No Regrets': Graham Platner Admitted to Buying Cocaine, Boasted About Doing Drugs During Military Leave While 'on the Government Dime'
The Marine Corps has a zero-tolerance policy for illegal drug use, and Marines in violation can face prosecution in military court
Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner discussed buying cocaine in now-deleted Reddit posts and admitted to drug use and "partying it up" while backpacking during paid military leave. Platner, in posts from 2020, recalled his travels through Europe just before leaving the Marine Corps in 2008. "I was making a pretty penny doing just about nothing. Went backpacking through Europe on the government dime, walked the Camino de Santiago, did some drugs and had a blast partying it up in hostels across the continent," wrote Platner, who posted on Reddit under the handle P-Hustle. Platner "highly" recommended the drug-fueled experience to other Reddit users. "No regrets," he wrote in February 2020. Platner, who is running to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins, discussed buying cocaine in another post from around the same time. Platner responded to someone who asked about a Coast Guard seizure of 12,000 pounds of cocaine valued at $312 million. "Street value," Platner wrote in July 2020. "I always wonder what street you're buying your cocaine on, because it's not the street I'm buying my cocaine on."
.@AlexThomp says Democrats are internally concerned over their pick of Graham Platner in Maine:

"Graham Platner was supposed to come on the show...His team pulled out," Daniels said on Sunday's show. "They came to us and wanted to come on. They pulled out. I think we saw why yesterday as these stories came out."Pussy Hustler, pulling out? Say it ain't so, Pussy Hustler! Janet Mills just reminded everyone that her campaign is merely "suspended" and that she's still on the ballot.

English language proficiency, which is determined by the alien’s ability to read, write, speak and understand English; and
Knowledge of U.S. history and government, which is determined by a civics test.
There are exceptions for some people over 55 (who've had a green card for more than 15 years), and for a "medical disability exemption".
I don't think that the guy is over 55, so it would be interesting to know what "medical disability exemption" he got to exempt him from the English language requirement.

There are exceptions for some people over 55 (who've had a green card for more than 15 years), and for a "medical disability exemption".
I don't think that the guy is over 55, so it would be interesting to know what "medical disability exemption" he got to exempt him from the English language requirement.
Posted by: The ARC of History! at June 01, 2026 06:32 PM

The disability would have to be bad enough to disqualify him from a license anyway (Legally blind? Narcolepsy? Retarded?). But so would being unable to speak or read English.
I suspect, if this story doesn't vanish, that we will discover that was no actual disability or other excuse, but that he got citizenship anyway. And that the key government officials involved were paid off, and probably not born here.

Sometimes the shell only owns the trucks. Sometimes they're chameleon companies. One shuts down, it re-opens under a new name. Then they present the new name to insurance companies. Sometimes they have self-insured retentions.
If the company disappears, it might be hard to locate the dissolved company. Sometimes the insurance company will use the fact that the trucking company is fraudulent to deny coverage. Sometimes the company will operate under lapsed policy. Sometimes the company is self insured. If the company disappears with all of its assets, good luck collecting against that.

Strictly speaking, the age to consume alcohol is at best tangentially related to driving or using federal transportation system, but they did.
That said,
Federal DOT should withhold all funding from States (NYFS) for all transportation systems, maybe including FAA*, if they do not provide the records that were politely requested.
Shut NY Fing State down.
* Actually, I think it best to keep the airports open for inbound passenger traffic, but no outbound unless they are going overseas.

DOT says those documents must be turned over by Wednesday at 10AM ET, or face consequences/penalties.

I thought "consequences/penalties" were already being imposed on states that weren't providing CDL records to USDOT. I thought all kinds of "consequences/penalties" were being imposed on uncooperative States -- voting records, CDLs, what else?
I suppose spending that's been approved by Congress has to go forward -- so the "consequences/penalties" are light? #NothingWillHappen

Look at the formula in PA for determining poverty, free meals, etc. vs. alleged school funding formulas.
In 2 or 3 years, an area with about 10% poverty and then 30+% school age kids "in need" for food security, to more than 53% percent allegedly in need, including housing, and upwards of 30+% in the special needs categories. (Computing it is crap. If their parent or guardian used WIC, CHIP, EBT they're automatically in. Go live with a grandparent in 55+ housing, all in. And the pattern of abuse goes forward.)
All the while teachers are making more than $100,000 on average for salary, not including benefits, and a great deal of the teaching is still by handheld tablets and at least one day at home on zoom for the kids.
That's just a tad below Philly's demographics for poverty and need, and way, way more for special education funding.

"Doctor" Jill Biden Sticks to Her Lie That She "Never, Ever" Saw Biden Showing Signs of Cognitive Decline "Before or Since" the Debate
This is why she took her husband, who she had never seen behave in such a confused, mentally-compromised manner and whose comportment was so "frightening" she feared he "must have been having a stroke," immediately put him on stage and praised him, "You answered every question!"
Jill Biden: "Well, Craig, look at it from my point of view. So, I'm watching, just like everybody else was, scared to death, like, what is going on. He gets off the stage, I see, he appears to be okay. He says to me, Jill, I really, in other words, messed up, didn't I? And I said, yes, you did. And so, we get off -- and I know we're going into another event, or we have two more to do. And my mind is racing. What do I say to him? What do I say to him? I'm his wife. I've got to lift him up. So, we go to the next event, and I'm thinking saying, what do I say that will lift him up that is true? I want to say things that are true. So, I said, you answered every question. My mind was racing." Melvin: "That's a pretty low bar." Biden: "Well -- so, I had to sort of lift him up. I'm his wife. I'm not going to get out on the stage there and say, Joe, you really screwed that up. I mean -- and we have all of our supporters, you know, so that's who we are. I had to support him. I couldn't come out and -- I mean, really, publicly, say, Joe, you did a terrible job in a debate?"She pretends to not understand the question, and this NBC "reporter" allows her to pretend. The question isn't why she said "You answered every question." The question is why, if he had "never, ever" shown this mental deficiency before and you were so "frightened" and "scared to death" to see these never-before-seen symptoms before that you thought "he must have been having a stroke" did you put him on the stage at all?
Why didn't you rush him to the hospital? Why didn't you at least keep him at home under a doctor's care, allowing him to rest and recover after these never-before-seen symptoms that appeared to be a stroke?
Stages are elevated platforms, and Biden is old. If he's experiencing never-before-seem symptoms, you do not have him climb stairs and stand on a platform seven feet above the ground. We've seen Biden battle stairs before. The stairs won and not by a little. Ever have a concussion? You know what you don't do hours after a concussion? Go out dancing and drinking. This is transparently a lie. She wasn't worried, she wasn't "scared to death" or "frightened" -- she had seen this behavior every single day of the past five (or ten!) years of her rancid slut gold-digging life. She treated it like it was business as usual because it was business as usual.
This is so tedious. I know you all know this. You know this, I know this, even Jake the Fake Tapper knows this. But they're leftists, so they keep on lying and keep putting us in the tedious position of having to explain over and over how we know for a fact that they're lying, but they keep lying anyway, until we give up from sheer exhaustion and say, "Whatever, have it your way, who can say what 'is' is, anyway?"
NBC's @CraigMelvin: "In the days and weeks after [the 2024 debate], you continued to insist that the President was fine. How do you square thinking that he may have had a stroke with what you were saying in the days and weeks after? How do you square those?"

Everything looks good/stable - no new tumors, and the ones that are there have pretty much stayed the same or shrunk ever so slightly (so much so that it could just be user interpretation). No metastises seen, so that is good, too.
Apparently I CAN stay on this protocol more than 6 months at a time, so we are going to continue to do fills with the medication, alternating with "placebo" fills every other 2 weeks as before.
So good news all around! 😊♥️

The report concluded that a jury would likely view Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," making it difficult to convince jurors he willfully committed a crime.
Biden sure fought like hell to keep those tapes out of the public domain. I wonder why. And, there is no caveat on abuse of Confidential records suggesting that "intent" has anything to do with it.

It really is - doc had a huge smile on his face while we were talking. Compared to where I was when I first started seeing him, I sort of get the feeling he wasn't expecting me to have lasted this long (and to still be doing so well).
But I guess oncologists -and other doctors - are trained to be as optimistic as possible when talking with patients. At least until all possible options have been run out.
He apparently has another patient who received his pump around the same time as I did, who is doing about as well as I am.
So, we will continue doing what we have been doing and wait until my next scan (usually every 3-4 months, unless symptoms change).
Thanks for all of the prayers, everyone! 😊♥️🥳

It wasn't a metaphysical truck, or an ethereal truck, or a Schrodinger's truck blinking in and out of alternate realities; it was there for the seeing, if she looked. You get where I'm going with this?
What made me wonder was Joe's insistence on lying about the truck driver, lying that he "drank his lunch," even continuing to lie after losing a lawsuit over the lie. Some people just love lying, and you could be forgiven for assuming that a used-car salesman's son might be one of them, but it seems pretty motivated to me.
As in, she may have been running away from him, and with good reason, and that's why she was distracted and not fully paying attention. We'll never know, but it would explain things.

The Demedia was out to destroy the credibility of the investigator who wrote that sympathetic treatment.
But the Demedia didn't want Joe charged any more. It's just that 1. the investigator didn't have the credential to diagnose age-related mental impairment and 2. that charge of mental impairment (suggesting no referral) "proved" that he was out to get Biden, so it wasn't credible on the culpability as well.

And folks would point out how Dems blocked them.
And he thought it a nuclear bomb counter to show it was Southern Dems who blocked it.
Because, donchaknow, all those racists switched parties and became Republicans.

If what's rumored to be on the body cams is actually true, then one of them actually told the handcuffed guy bleeding to death in front of them it "wasn't going to work, mate" when he told them he'd been stabbed.
They need to release the cam footage and set the record straight, but if it's that bad the police and government will fight like hell to prevent their release.

Clinton and Obama Judges Combine to Overrule the Military's Judgment about Good Military Order, Insist That No One Can Reject Transgenders In the Military for Any Proper Logical Reasons
It can only be arbitrary and "based upon animus." There are no conceivable reasons why people with a history of mental illness and a dependency on constant medical interventions and mind-affecting artificial hormones would not make for good recruits.
None. Not a one.Divided appeals court rules Trump administration's ban on transgender military service is unconstitutionalIn other words, we don't have to examine the reasons offered for the policy, because we know they're lies, and once you exclude the reasons offered -- which we know are lies -- there are no reasons left, and hence it's "arbitrary." Oh, and the lies are motivated by "animus." Therefore, we pencilnecked DEI hires are in charge of the armed forces now. Ooooh-rah, bitches!
Washington -- A divided federal appeals court ruled Monday that the Trump administration's policy banning transgender individuals from serving in the military is likely unconstitutional. A panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit split 2-1 in finding that the ban rolled out by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth last year was driven by animus toward transgender people. Judges Judith Rogers and Robert Wilkins agreed that the Trump administration's policy targeting transgender service members likely violated the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection. The two judges agreed to leave in place a preliminary injunction that prevented the Defense Department from removing transgender troops who are in the military. That order is narrow and only covers the active-duty plaintiffs in the case. "The government's stated reason for issuing the Hegseth Policy as based solely upon gender dysphoria was pretextual, and that instead, the Hegseth Policy was premised, at least in part, on a non-legitimate state interest to harm the politically unpopular group of transgender persons," Wilkins wrote in an opinion, adding that President Trump "declared transgender people as categorically unfit for military service explicitly because of their gender identity."
The Obama and Clinton judges just pretend that being on a lifelong diet of hormones and surgeries won't disrupt readiness or result in so-called "military personnel" calling out sick for duty. Note, however, that the policy isn't completely undone. Both the Clinton and Obama judge agree that the military may refuse to recruit transgenders going forward. The Clinton judge would only permit the transgenders who sued to remain in the military. I assume that this is the actual holding, because it's what both the Clinton and Obama judges agree on. (The Obama judge would extend this to all transgenders currently serving.)
Wilkins and Judge Justin Walker, meanwhile, allowed the administration to enforce restrictions on transgender plaintiffs who sought to join the military but were prevented under the new policy from doing so. Walker, who authored a dissenting opinion, was nominated to the federal bench by Mr. Trump in 2020. Wilkins was appointed to the D.C. Circuit by President Barack Obama, and Rogers was tapped for the appeals court by President Bill Clinton. Mr. Trump signed an executive order in the opening days of his second term that targeted active-duty and prospective service members with gender dysphoria. The president's directive said that the military's "high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity and integrity" are inconsistent with the "medical, surgical and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria." ... "This is not a case where we are left to speculate why the government drafted such broad, undifferentiated classifications," Wilkins said. "Unless we are going to fall for the old Groucho Marx line -- 'who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?' -- we have direct evidence in this case that animus motivated the classifications in the Hegseth Policy."
Josh GersteinUpdate:
@joshgerstein 46m NEW: DC Cir. panel splinters on Trump ban on trans people in military. Wilkins (Obama) controls, protecting existing members but not future ones. Rogers (Clinton) would uphold injunction on policy but only for suers. Walker (Trump) would let policy stand.
Mark HemingwayThat's an arbitrary claim based on animus, bub. Watch it. So close to Pride Month, too!
@Heminator This is insane. You can't serve if you have a nut allergy, but taking large amounts of mood altering exogenous cross-sex hormones around heavy weaponry is OK?
BREAKING: US Appeals court has ruled 2-1 in favor of STRIKING DOWN Trump's ban on transgender military servicemembers.

Sooner or later, SCOTUS is going to have to rule that the Administrative Procedures Act is not a catch-all for getting around the relevant statutes, jurisdiction requirements and rules to manufacture a federal case before a friendly judge.
The concurrence of Thomas last week shows he, at least, is getting real tired of the lower courts just making shit up.
What would be hilarious is, when they over-rule this, to remand it to the DC circuit, with an order that the circuit enter an opinion consistent with their ruling and that it be specifically signed by all judges of the circuit.
Any who refuse will be placed on admin leave.
Kind of a "rub their noses in the shit" type of thing.

There are plenty of reasons to be opposed to interventions in the middle east or anywhere else.
But when you claim the ONLY reason we're involved in the Middle East is because TEH JEWS DEMAND IT...
It's pretty clear this is about animus, not simply being opposed to interventions.

Wasn't that the essence of The Great Gatsby? Let me see if I can find the quote... Oh my bad, it's from F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Rich Boy (1926), but the themes of TGG (1925) were presumably still on his mind:
“Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.”

You can't join if you have diabetes, or any of a number of medical needs that require regular medication, as they can't be guaranteed in remote, austere environments. You think they're going to make special runs to deliver HRT to remote outposts in Afghanistan?
And let's not even start on all the mental illness risks of having unstable people in stressful environments with weapons. We already screen out a huge number of young recruits for mental issues (they're unstable AND we can't guarantee their medication in deployed environments)...how do they think trans people, who are mentally ill by definition, will adjust?
The ruling is SLIGHTLY correct, in a way, in that screening of new recruits is stricter than requirements for current members. A medical condition someone develops while serving may be allowed, that would disqualify an applicant, but I don't think being trans is of the same level to waive away.

No, it doesn't. To overcome the enormous burden required to overturn a military decision made on the rational basis test, the court has to find animus so that ip so facto, the agency acted without rationality. The whole split the baby shit by the majority shows that these judges don't even agree on that--one demanding trannies allowed to join while the other, these particular trannies are allowed to stay in.
See Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah as to how even Scalia was persuaded that Hialeah acted irrationally due to bias regarding Santeria and animal sacrifices. Rational basis test under Smith I and II.

Good news and bad news. The good: After almost six months, I finally received that pension payout from the 1970s-80s job, and a few days earlier than I expected. And there was more money to it, as well.
Bad: They thought somehow it was a direct payment to me, and took out state and Fed taxes!!! This despite my telling them in writing it was to be a direct rollover. They swear on the phone they have the election form, but not the page indicating the recipient, my IRA. So the incompetents cut me a check despite my rollover choice -- and without calling or informing me they had a conflict.
I yelled bloody murder, and they swear (again) they will fix this.

These people really need to decide if it is "born this way," or a "choice."
If it is how they are born, then it is just like a nut allergy or being too short. If it is a choice, it is just like being insubordinate or a criminal.
If they are born that way, then, well, God gave them a dick so that is pretty strong evidence to what way they were born. So they are saying it is a choice. but if it's a choice, it is something that they can un-choose.
There really is no logical argument for any of this nonsense.

(a) a United States court of appeals has entered a decision in conflict with the decision of another United States court of appeals on the same important matter; has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with a decision by a state court of last resort; or has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, or sanctioned such a departure by a lower court, as to call for an exercise of this Court's supervisory power;
(b) a state court of last resort has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with the decision of another state court of last resort or of a United States court of appeals;
(c) a state court or a United States court of appeals has decided an important question of federal law that has not been, but should be, settled by this Court, or has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court.
C enables the court to decide trannies in the army case.

It's not "constitutional" because you are not equally protecting people's access to equal treatment.
It's how they bootstrapped "equal treatment" into Cons for fag marriage.
The idea that you should have unlimited expansion of the restraint from judgment to more and more categories is the very opposite of cagey or wise. And yet that is how they have taken the very realistic restraint of legally discriminating on the basis of race or ethnicity, to the disastrous restraint of discriminating sex, to the even more disastrous and loony-toons restraint of discriminating in the public worth of sex couplings.

The reason "trannies must be permitted to serve" is so important is it will serve as the basis for the next judge to order "and insurance companies must cover the cost of the surgery."
That is, if it's illegal animus to ban them from the military, it's illegal discrimination to not force you--through increased premiums--to fund their surgery and lifetime medical treatments.

Nope. You are confusing due process with equal protection. Due process is an individual right, Equal Protection is a group aka collective right to be treated the same as others in the same group. Where it gets confusing, due to Scotus bumfuckery, is that they created a fundamental freedoms application of due process to the equal protection clause which is how they came up with substantive due process used in Roe. So the idea is that troons as a class are denied protection that other non-troons get to do. And that denial is because they have a fundamental freedom protected by the due process clause to be a troon and thus join the military.
That is the garbage result of Lawrence v. Texas being overruled when Scotus said sodomy was a fundamental freedom. That led to Windsor destroying DOMA, and then Obergefell, gay marriage.

Well, the military acts like they don't like fatties, and were that a recognized demographic--unlike people who just feel they should have different junk--it cold be construed as "animus" toward fatties.
It's easy to illustrate the non-uniform expansion of this principle so that "groups" recognized by the court get protected in ways that "groups" the court is unconcerned about do not.
Blind people don't have the same access to driver's licenses (as i said 1000 times in the SSM debate).
But, here's the kicker, they just don't care. They aren't animated about those arguably equal "exclusions". They just don't care whether principles can be mathematically applied, but they'll pretend they're mathematic applications all the same, thank you.

The fundamental freedoms line begins in Slaughterhouse and Cruikshank, both of which need to be dumped anyway as bad law.
The real historical protection for marriage, etc. comes from the privileges and immunities clause--so important that it is in the Articles of Confederation, the new Constitution itself, the Bill of Rights (see the 9th amendment), and the 14th Amendment.
Due process always meant at the Framing as the court's legal process. Not all the bullshit dragged into it like fundamental freedoms by lazy ass justices on Scotus.

George Washington did just that when the Senate misbehaved with him on a treaty approval.

Never meant to be mathematical. Equal protection clause starts with a reasonable premise--people are and should be equal under the law. But it became a way to import privilege on the basis of skin, sex, etc. as it is used today. Legislation has to be done primarily dealing with classes--taxpayers, non taxpayers for example. It is not treating non tax payers unfairly if they cannot get a tax refund where they paid nothing in for example. But, if I treat them differently using irrational criteria--only redheads pay taxes, all others do not, then one could argue based on nonsensical actions that the government is acting irrationally.
Or in the Louisiana case involving coffins, Lousiana banned anyone other than morticians licensed by the state from selling coffins. Monks sued the state of Louisiana and won because the rationale by the state was that it was to prevent groundwater infiltration-which is reasonable. But Louisiana required water proof vaults for all coffins anyway which meant that the coffin regulation became rent seeking rather than a rational reason.

60 Minutes' Smelly Leftist Scott Pelley Knows He's About to be Fired, So He Stages a Tantrum-Flounce to Make It Seem Like He Was Fired in Retalliation for #FightingThePower
Nick Bilton, an investigative journalist working for magazines and newspapers, was appointed producer for 60 Minutes, replacing an old liberal.
Scott Pelley knows he's next so he's picking up on the Leftist Guild's attack on Bilton for not having experience in television reporting. In other words, he doesn't know enough about male make-up as Scott Pelley.Dylan ByersThat podcast isn't going to promote itself. More from media shill site Variety:
@DylanByers
NEW: In @NickBilton's first all-hands meeting at 60 Minutes this morning, @ScottPelley told Nick he had "scant qualifications' for the job and pressed him to account for last week's firings. Nick suggested conversation would be better held in private, Scott countered that he'd prefer to have them in front of his colleagues. Nick told Scott, "they're my colleagues too," to which Scott replied: "that remains to be seen."
Note the tense: Past perfect. They had hoped to keep him, previously. It's not present tense. They do not currently hope to keep him. Now I don't think they ever wanted to keep him. I think they always intended to fire him. I think they have not really attempted to re-sign him, which is why Scott Pelley is posing as Spartacus, as Curtis Houck says. But now they can/will say "Gee we had hoped to keep him, but he seems so determined to leave! Aw filddlesticks! (kicks rock)."
CBS News had hoped to keep Scott Pelley and the remaining correspondents tied to "60 Minutes" on the show, according to a person familiar with CBS News, before reports emerged of a blistering verbal donnybrook between the long-time journalist and Nick Bilton, who was named last week to lead the venerable newsmagzine.
Oh a nepo baby, perfect.
In a meeting held Monday, Pelley lashed out at Bilton and current CBS News management, according to multiple press reports, alleging that Bari Weiss, the CBS News Editor in Chief who orchestrated an overhaul of the program last week, is "murdering '60 Minutes." Pelley also alleged that Weiss held "no qualifications for her job" and said Bilton that he has "slender qualifications for this job." ... Bilton is replacing Tanya Simon, a longtime senior steward of the show and a daughter of one of its former correspondents, Bob Simon.
Her deputy, Draggan Mihailovich, was also ousted, along with two of the show's correspondents, Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega. Pelley also demanded to know why CBS News fired former Simon, Alfonsi and Vega, asking Bilton "why should we expect any of this is going to be any better?" Status reported that Bilton attempted to deflect the queries and wound up ending the meeting prematurely. Charles Forelle, a new CBS News senior editor, recently hired by Weiss from The Wall Street Journal,Well, now I don't know -- that makes it sound like Pelley and these other losers are leaking it that CBS really, really wants to keep them but they're Spartacus and cannot be bought and will not compromise with a biased newswoman like Bari Weiss. Either way, though: They're gone, I think.told Pelley several times he was being "rude," according to Status, which reported the remarks based on an audio transcript of the meeting it obtained. CBS News was eager to keep Pelley at the show, according to a person familiar with the situation. This person says senior CBS News executives had reached out to Pelley, Bill Whitaker, Lesley Stahl and Jon Wertheim -- the "60 Minutes" correspondents who remain on staff -- several times since last week in hopes of convincing them to stick with the program.
Pelley, Whitaker and Stahl did not respond to queries last week asking for their comments on the show's next steps. Wertheim did not respond immediately to a query sent Monday.I have a feeling they called you themselves to leak this and offer their Spartacus spin. Pelley is going full histrionic Woke Woman, accusing Bari Weiss of "murdering" 60 Minutes.
When Bilton told staffers that Weiss, who was brought in as the first ever editor-in-chief at CBS News under the direction of new owner and billionaire son David Ellison--"loves this institution," Pelley reportedly interrupted to say, "She is murdering '60 Minutes.'" He went on to say Weiss "does not love this place," condemned the changes she's made to the network's evening news broadcast and added of the news division, "She was brought in to kill it, and she's been doing exactly that." Bilton reportedly told Pelley he was "not going to intimidate me in front of this group of people" and ended the meeting after 15 minutes.I wasn't fired, I quit in a blaze of glory! So yeah, he's done and he knows it. Have security escort him out of the building. Check back with this post -- it seems like new "Fire Me Now So I Can Claim Victimhood and Promote My Podcast" quotes are being released minute-by-minute in real time.
Update! This was supposed to be part of the original post, but didn't get posted. User Error and all that. It's so bitchy and effeminiate! I keep referring to Mean Girls in the comments but you don't know what I'm talking about because I accidentally omitted this.
As Bilton tried to move the meeting along, Pelley pressed him on "what was wrong" with the correspondents recently let go, including Sharyn Alfonsi, who was at the center of one of Weiss' first scandals at the helm of CBS when she chose to abruptly pull a 60 Minutes segment on deportations to El Salvador's CECOT prison last year. "As Bilton started to say he would 'defer,' Pelley interrupted: 'This is not the crowd to dodge,'" reported Darcy.The Group demands Apologies!
When Charles Forelle, managing editor of CBS News and Weiss ally, Pelley hit back, invoking Thursday's firings, which he referred to as "Black Tuesday." "I'm not being rude," he said. "You know what was rude? Black Thursday was rude. That was the absolute definition of rudeness." "This is not actually productive," Forelle said at one point in their exchange. "This is not an interview." "It's working for me," shot back Pelley. "Anybody came into our house--this is '60 Minutes.' I guess you wandered in expecting to read a statement off?" Later in the meeting, Bilton responded to another staffer's claim that it "takes years" to train new correspondents for 60 Minutes by claiming that no new hires would lack experience. Laughter reportedly erupted at this remark. Pelley then continued to hammer Bilton, asking him bluntly why he would take the job in the first place. "Here's a question: Were you aware of how Black Friday was going to play out?" he asked. "I find it odd that you would take this job knowing that you would never be welcomed here."Pure 9th-grade estrogen: "We think it's weird you would even try to sit at our table when no one at our table likes you!!!" YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US!
Goodbye, Smelley,
"I have no problem taking a job in a place that I am not welcome, OK? I don't believe that will be the case," said Bilton in response. The meeting might be best summed up by one especially poignant exchange between the two. While describing his plans for the show, Bilton claimed at one point: "I care so deeply about this institution." "Oh, please," interrupted Pelley.
it's been nice
enjoy your new
substack paradise
The firings last week included the old producer, Democrat political operative Sheryl Alfonsi, and Celia Vega, who announced that Woke Women being fired from media jobs to which they are Entitled is "censorship." Yeah because there aren't literally thousands of Woke White Women in the media. Not a single one can be fired, or it's "censorship:"
"60 Minutes" correspondent Cecilia Vega accused CBS News of "censorship," saying she fears for the future of the network, after she was fired by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss in a bloodbath of top producers and reporters. Vega sounded off Thursday night on social media about her firing -- which came even though her contract was not set to expire until next March -- after three years with the storied newsmagazine.Wow, three whole years. She's an institution.
How can they go on without me? the narcissist fretted.
"I have the utmost respect and admiration for my colleagues at '60 Minutes' and the stories that air every Sunday," the journo wrote on Instagram. "But I very much fear what comes next for and the future of the legendary broadcast."
Neither is her sense of entitlement or her belief that she is highly accomplished.
Though her blistering note did not mention Weiss by name, Vega claimed that network leadership "in recent months" has attempted to "insert political bias into our stories" and erode editorial independence at "60 Minutes." A CBS News spokesperson told The Post in a statement: "We respect Ms. Vega and her contributions, but her claims are not based in reality."
While the newly-fired and remaining staff CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ continue to scream I AM SPARTACUS at editor-in-chief @BariWeiss, @CBSMornings kept up its ongoing commitment to spotlighting entitlement fraud, specifically in Gavin Newsom’s California.

Sitting down with the Today Show's Craig Melvin on Monday, Biden described her husband as doing 'OK.'
'I think if he had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, that's one thing because that can be cured,' she explained. 'But the fact that it metastasized to his bones, that makes it a whole different story.'
'And so I think Joe will live with cancer till the rest of his life,' she added.
The former First Lady's interview with Melvin got heated at times, as she continued to claim that the former President's addled 2024 debate performance was a one-off.
Melvin pointed to Special Counsel Robert Hur's assessment of Biden being a 'sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.'
He also brought up George Clooney's assertion that the Biden he saw at a June Hollywood fundraiser was the same man that Americans saw on the Atlanta debate stage.
Dr Biden visibly winced when Melvin mentioned Clooney's name.

@mattvanswol
It has been revealed that the woman who was st*bbed 18-20 TIMES on the Atlanta train, 66-yr-old Margaret Swan...
...DID NOT RECEIVE ANY HELP AT ALL FROM FELLOW TRAIN PASSENGERS WHILE SHE BLED OUT ON THE FLOOR OF THE TRAIN
“She was screaming for help and nobody was helping her...”
Margaret was a mother of 3, grandmother of 5 and great-grandmother of 4.
According to CCTV footage reviewed by police, John Elijah Matthews, a homeless Black man, walked up to the Margaret and slit her throat within seconds.
Margaret screamed and tried to escape, but the suspect held her down and st*bbed her another 18 times before leaving her dead on the ground in a large pool of her own blood.
Fellow passengers on the train did nothing to try and help her as she screamed.

Sorry, but people in the military who are on Psych meds get medically discharged... for good reason.

Since when does a DC Appeals Court have jurisdiction over the military?
On the other hand, even if they can force the military to keep trannys in uniform, they can't tell the military where they can be used. I mean, the military needs clerks and typists as well as trigger pullers.

3) No one hires me to be a yes man. No one ever promoted me because I was a yes man.

This is true, but it's nice to have jobs that the trigger-pullers can do to rest and recover from deployment or can do after they can't pull the trigger anymore.
If those jobs are taken up by people unable to be "trigger-pullers", then there's nothing left for the actually useful soldiers.

England has this weird set of circumstances that leads to things like this.
They have old laws that let strangers walk around on just about anybody's land. The countryside is full of tiny streets with walls on both sides. There's nowhere to park next to the road, so it's very common for people to pull into any farmer's field that has an open gate and park there. It's common for people to camp in some farmer's field.
So yeah, it's a dick move to park in someone's field. But it's not like here where there are roads with wide enough shoulders where you can just pull off the road and park on the shoulder, so lots of people do this.

Scotus is likely to overrule that decision. Simply because the military is not required to keep people that are not deployable for medical reasons. Neutral policy applicable regardless of the mentally ill troon types. Same as drug abusers, amputees, diabetics, etc.
They can but are not required to do so. And ADA does not help because for example, if someone cannot meet the objective physical requirements for the job, then ADA no longer applies.

Civilian courts can review military policy for unlawfulness just like any other bureaucracy--except, a lot of what the military does is exempt by statute or has special statutory provisions.
Then there is the constitutional issue (separation of powers) plus past Scotus precedents (and lower courts) that require federal courts to defer to the elected branches or commander in chief specifically as to the running of the services.
Congress could, under McCardle case precedent (and obiter dicta in Marbury), remove jurisdiction of such military powers cases from the courts but have not done so since McCardle.
McCardle itself approved a congressional act that removed federal court's ability to hear habeas pleas in federal courts from military governor detention decision in the occupied South post Civil War.

It killed the Jr developer market. Nobody's hiring Jr devs. Lots of CEOs are salivating at the idea of moving their mid-level jobs offshore to Indians who previously couldn't be trusted to that level of work. Lots of CEOs are pushing for more output with fewer people involved, which has always been the case, but its ramping up like I haven't seen before.

Trump's Department of Energy has been doing everything they can to help people approve and build new nuclear plants, including micro-reactors with modern technology rather than the state-of-the-1960s relics we mostly have operating now.

The data centers that use jet engine turbines to rapidly spin up and down as needed for power surges are not exactly nice neighbors to live by.

There's more internet companies now than there were during the bubble. Trust me, server capacity will never be worthless, and sites with good connectivity especially so. That's why before AI all of the data centers were built near DC. Basically DC and NYC have the best Internet connectivity on the planet, but nobody trusts NYC governance or Con Edison enough to put server farms in NYC (although there was a significant presence of them in WTC when 9/11 happened).

The article complains "The women I interviewed for a research project and book expected men to ask for, plan, and pay for dates; initiate sex; confirm the exclusivity of a relationship; and propose marriage," writes Ellen Lamont. "Almost none of my interviewees saw these dating practices as a threat to their feminist credentials or to their desire for egalitarian marriages. But they were wrong."
And the funny thing is reading the comments it is mostly angry feminists arguing all of the following:
1) Of course its true and has it should be its harder to be a woman
2) Of course this is misogynistic no woman wants that
3) What about the pay gap...what about that huh?!?

I think the bust is coming quicker for AI than more slowly. Basically, large general AI models are getting less and less bang per buck for frontier models that require big iron and the acquisition of new training data is not keeping up with the growth of AI models. Each frontier model by the bigs is simply retraining the latest model using the same data plus any more acquisitions since the last frontier model. The growth in data is not sustainable nor is the scaling of big iron to compute them. May not be this year but perhaps next year or so.
Reminds me of previous hypes--first was the Web 1.0 where all sorts of online stores were created but without the logistics needed. Then there was the crazed buildout of fiber, much of which remained dark until recently--that destroyed Lucent for example. Then it was web 2.0/social media.
The main advantage in tech at least is that it leaves some useful hardware/software behind.

Which is the whole point of the exercise. Small scale is resilient to failure--one refinery blows up, we have other to take the slack until it is fixed. Put that at one or two sources, if one fails, society is f*cked. Whole reason Nasim Taleb wrote about Black Swans. Big size and centralization almost always is not resilient to unforeseen failures. Smaller scale is whether we are talking about government, the three big investment firms of Vanguard, State Street, and Blackrock, the three networks for TV, etc. etc.

He’s such a remarkable douchebag it’s startling. He has absolutely no balls.
Posted by: Marcus T
I have come to the conclusion using the totality of circumstances that he was in on the Russia Russia coup. He is the one that claimed Flynn lied to him and started that piece of shit investigation, he hired virulent anti Trumper/Democrats like Olivia Troye, several NSC staffers that created problems, and his office was a center for leaks to the media during Trump I's term.
I suspect the piece of shit lied directly to Trump about supporting a challenge as well.
Pence is a nasty piece of shit that one cannot find a clean end to pick up. Best to flush his sorry ass away like sewage.

As I said earlier, Pence won't even come clean about why he lied to Trump about Flynn.
And he didn't just lie to Trump with a "he was talking to Russians."
No, he had to do a double-lie--lying to Trump that the allegations were true but also refusing to tell Trump exactly what Flynn did or said.
And to this day, Mr. "Christian" Pence continues to lie about that.
Pence would be more comfortable sitting next to Talarico than Trump.

Yep. Classic example of overinvestment for fear of being left out. Meta blew a bunch of bucks on virtual worlds that fell flat and I'd imagine something similar is going to happen soon with the different firms--Open AI and Anthropic are more at risk because they don't have the existing streams of revenue that Microsoft or Google can throw into it. They have to borrow whether via IPO or from partners like Nvidia.
One will probably live, perhaps Anthropic if their executives don't shoot themselves in the foot over dealings with fedgov. The other will be bought cheap by one of its 'partners'. Both are racing to an IPO which will probably mark peak AI (machine learning really) market value.

You know how leftist violent mobs are allways let out. And if any of them are inconvenienced they are reimbursed. Like poor old Peter Strzok? Well the leftist ruling class doesn't like it if you try to make whole the people they torture. So there won't be any of that.

An Illegal Alien Previously Deported Three Times was Blocked from a New Deportation by California's Sanctuary Law.
Now He's Murdered Two Women -- and an Infant Baby
I don't know if Gavin Newsom is the big threat that Democrats are hoping he is.
A deranged illegal migrant, deported from the U.S. three times, is accused in the triple murder of an infant and two other women after California's controversial state sanctuary law obstructed federal authorities who sought to deport him, The California Post has learned. Joaquin Escoto, 28 a Mexican national born in Jalisco, was deported from the U.S. three times and arrested for driving under the influence once before he was arrested again in June for another DUI, a senior law enforcement official told The Post. On the day of Escoto's DUI arrest in June, which occurred in San Joaquin County, federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials requested to be notified of the Modesto resident's release from jail so they could deport him again, according to the official. But San Joaquin law enforcement officials hogtied by California's contested sanctuary law -- which limits how state and local law enforcement communicates with federal law enforcement -- failed to notify the feds, and Escoto was set free, the official said.Bonus: On TikTok -- "Amy.Pranks.22" set up an AI scam-call screener which replies to a foreign scammer trying to get her bank information with Trumpian bluster.
"Safe to say, California law prohibited the jail from complying," said the official, who shared police documents that substantiated his claims with The Post. Now, less than one year after that request from ICE agents was ignored, Escoto is being held without bail on three counts of murder in the grisly knife slaying in Modesto of an infant and two women, including one with whom he allegedly had a child, according to police. "Gavin Newsom has the blood of these women and this innocent little baby on his hands. Xavier Becerra is no better and Tom Steyer is even worse," candidate for governor Steve Hilton told The Post. "These Democrats lecture us about "their values" and how "compassionate" they are while their sick sanctuary extremism sets monsters like this free to murder and terrorize our communities," Hilton said, "Enough is enough: this insanity must end, and it will on Day One when I am governor," he added. Newsom has long championed the state's sanctuary laws, though he has opposed legislation that would further expand them.

More crimes means citizens are more likely to give up their freedom in the name of safety. So the Dem idea was promise safety and do...nothing when they were in control. Then every election demand more censorship, more people arrested for saying things the government does like and so on - yes this is the pattern in Britain.
But here Trump ran on a really simple idea - send the illegals home. You don't need Levithan to give the illusion of safety if you are actually safe.

1) Close all PoEs in CA. You cannot drive into TJ but you want to drive or walk back across? Too bad. Go to a PoE bordering AZ, NM or TX. Wanna fly to CA from another country? Not without clearing CBP in another state you don’t.
2). Pull all CBP from CA and redistribute them to where they are needed.
Unrealistic? I don’t think so. Because CA thinks it is bigger than the feds and believes it sets immigration policy. Fuck them. Time to show them they are still part of the United States.

Best part is that the court found "animus" in the policy. This idiocy has been around for how long? It featured in many of the most ridiculous lawless rulings from "courts" going back to Trump 1.
So not only are judges lawmakers and policy analysts, they're also mind-readers. Like a jury, they assess intent in government policies. Beyond absurd. They're glorified clerks with neither the formal nor substantive competence to rule on anything related to policy beyond whether it's lawful.
I believe the SEALs avoided the Idiocy Crisis during the vegetable administration by doing nothing - just continuing to follow their normal process. BUDS attrits most of those trying to get in. Dunno if any trans mental cases even attempted, but I think I know someone who could tell me. In any case, by lying low/silent and just carrying on as usual, they avoided the demeaning and dangerous spectacle that stained the rest of the military.

I normally don't respond to these, but I'll make an exception for this.
American men barely ever murder infants and children. There is a sufficiently virulent & widespread social opprobrium toward this behavior that it's exceedingly rare, it shocks the conscience when it happens, it tends to move the needle for law enforcement agencies who rare give a fuck about their mission, and perpetrators are routinely murdered by *other criminals.*
Our Precious Foreigners don't seem nearly as restrained by this taboo, though.

1) Close all PoEs in CA. You cannot drive into TJ but you want to drive or walk back across? Too bad. Go to a PoE bordering AZ, NM or TX. Wanna fly to CA from another country? Not without clearing CBP in another state you don’t.
2). Pull all CBP from CA and redistribute them to where they are needed.

Also, put PoEs on the Interstates leading into/out of CA. Box those fuckers in with their precious illegals.

Mullings mused openly about one option, ending CBP operations at int'l airports in "sanctuary" jurisdictions. No way the administration would do that, far too disruptive, the clueless delicate and stupid American public would go apeshit (including 95% of "MAGA" types).
Last year DOJ sent a letter to 400+ jurisdictions warning of legal action including criminal prosecution under 8USC1324 (the sort of thing Homan talked big about during the campaign, against the Denver mayor). Haven't seen/heard a trace of anything related to that.

Every visa category is down double digits, and legal immigrants, who agree to never be on the dole when they get their green cards, are getting kicked off the dole.

You don't shut down LAX for example, but you do a whole-of-government "work to rule", selective approach to federal support for anything in a "sanctuary" shithole.
All non-violent, non-terrorist law enforcement matters go to the very bottom of the DOJ's and FBI's pile - hey they're busy, lots of other things to do.
Ditto for every single instance where the feds have the discretion to slow-walk or ignore CA needs. Everything.
No chance for idiots like Thune or Lankford to f**k things up on the Senate floor. No votes, no new laws. Just the same bad-faith governance that for 30 years created the disastrous mass illegal migration situation.

Pelley, the former anchor of the CBS Evening News, made the comments in a fiery staff meeting with the show’s new executive producer Nick Bilton.
In the meeting, Bilton said that Weiss loves 60 Minutes, which is the most-watched news program in America, to which Pelley responded, “She’s murdering 60 Minutes. She does not love this place, she was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that.”"

And I'm not saying that about any ethnicity, mind you. Just a full consideration of "diversity".

It won't be fun seeing commercials of us staying seated at the State of the Unions address when Trump confronted us".
Never. God help you evil scum.

They don't mean anything they say.
Anything they say is an emotional bubble, and exists on the surface of that bubble. Unrelated to any other emotionalized reaction around another issue.
I believed for decades that they were against vigilantism. And then Luigi Mangione comes along, and they are trying not to condemn him. Because he cleaned the streets of people who weren't assaulting people on the streets, but playing a Marxists' bad guy.
They could probably remake Death Wish today with the Bronson character getting back at a landlord who made the rent too high and ended up putting "Bronson's" family out onto the street.

I think it's important to remind people that immigration enforcement is continuing and even expanding even if the topic has fallen off the front page for the past few months.
People seem to assume that immigration enforcement stopped because of the deaths of Goode and Pretti.
There was a brief slowdown as there was a change in strategy and some localities stopped cooperating with DHS, but it has rebounded strong. More deportation flights, more arrests, more immigration judges rubber stamping deportation orders, more rules restricting immigration activity in the economy as a whole.
These things are happening, and people are leaving all while the border is closed and green card issuances are at historic lows, asylum claims are now just South Africans and like 2 others (2 other people...that's it), and work visas are down double digits.
The number 1 issue of 2024 is being addressed.
And no one seems to give a shit.

Mutiny at 60 Minutes - from the CA Post:
Nick Bilton — a 49-year-old tech journalist who was named the new boss of “60 Minutes” in a major reshuffle — abruptly ended a meeting with the storied news magazine’s staffers following a heated exchange with correspondent Scott Pelley, sources told The Post.
In a Monday morning meet-and-greet that went wrong, Pelley took aim at CBS News Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, claiming she was “murdering ’60 Minutes,'” and that she “was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that,” according to a source briefed on the meeting.
“She has no qualifications for her job,” Pelley said of Weiss, according to the source. “The changes that she’s made at the ‘Evening News’ have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?”
Pelley also demanded that Bilton and Weiss’ deputy Charles Forelle, who was also at the meeting, explain last week’s firings of the show’s top producers including Tanya Simon, as well as reporters Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega.

Who said this would be done quickly?
We're at literally 60 years of every administration opening the doors, crescendoing with Biden's open doors policy.
This is the most aggressive and largest deportation effort in American history. It easily dwarfs Operation Wetback by this point.
And it will go on for at least 3 more years. If the GOP wins 2028, it's 4 more years after that.
What is America going to be after 8 solid years of aggressive deportations?

It's the emotional paralysis of letting "conservatives win"--even if they are right on something.
If you dig hard enough you can find enough references to crises like that "only encouraging the right", and since the "right" are closer to "Nazis", encouraging the "right" is like giving a foothold to the Nazis.
They get angry at conservatives for being at the right place before they are, so they can't claim the moral ground.
Plus, they hate you. There is a deep part of them that resents you for disagreeing with them in politics.

Once Trump brought Stephen Miller onto his team, the first was only ever going to be rhetorical.
There's conflict of strategy between Miller and Homan, but Miller is ultimately the one strategizing for all of the federal government's approach to immigration.
Treasury announcing that they were deputizing banks to ID illegals is...not small. And that's from Miller, for sure.

The prediction market trade is busted. Now that people are trusting these markets instead of polls for their political information, it's now profitable for campaigns to try and game the system (and make some bucks) by moving the market themselves. I haven't looked into this for a while, but I bet it doesn't take a lot of money to move this market. Much easier than paying for a poll to do the same work.

I have been looking at houses for sale on Redfin, and I have noticed that almost ALL the electric stoves look like they were made in the same factory in China, no matter what the nameplate says, the only difference is in some of the controls.
I think they all were made in the same factory in China, but the way.
There has to be a need for manufacturing US made major appliances.

Not a small anger I have about offshore manufacturing is that all too often it is performed by workers that are in practice, if not by law, SLAVES, held in thrall by dirty no good bastrd slave masters. This is disgusting bullshit that should not be.

That seems like a reasonable heuristic, but the political operatives in the US are really good at astroturfing. I think they'd have no problem making a bunch of small to medium bets to shift the odds and make their candidate seem more popular.

No it did not. Beyond the scope of gray boxes but it was an application of equal protection clause. Relied on substantive due process which is the same rationale for Roe.
A) Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex?
B)Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-state (full faith and credit)?

I spent last week pulling a washing machine apart and putting back together. It is the epitome of "Put tab A into slot B" construction, and it is mostly made from pressed and folded sheet metal like an erector set. Even the motor uses coated aluminum windings. A fridge is sheet metal surrounding a foam box with plastic and glass interior fitting. This is not SpaceX engineering.

Sure, but people have been using Polymarket like a poll. If a Democrat astroturf group wanted to, I don't think they'd have any trouble making a lot of small to medium sized bets to swing the market. Then newspapers report the Polymarket state and people think, "Wow, Karen Bass is inevitable!" This sort of thing tends to energize the base and deflate the opposition.

So the argument was that states nor the federal government (see the earlier Windsor decision), could bar people of the same sex from marriage because it was a fundamental right under due process clause protected by the equal protection clause because of sex/gender.
Plaintiffs use animus in rational basis test cases normally because otherwise they would lose the case. So they have to allege some irrationality (bigotry, racial animus, etc.) on the behalf of decision makers which addresses the plaintiff's requirement to show the policy was irrational in an objective sense, not just subjective.
Prior to Lawrence v. Texas, the earlier Bowers decision held that sodomy could be held unlawful by states because the state's action has some rational reason. Lawrence overturned that by treating sex acts between people as protected constitutional rights (they could not successfully allege bigotry in the case because the Texas sodomy law applied to straights as well IIRC). Then Lawrence was used to overturn DOMA in Windsor case which led to Obergefell.

That is the problem with substantive due process which numerous conservative judges and legal theorists noted in the past. It allows the courts to pick and choose which rights are 'fundamental'. So far, most of them are either trivial or allow deviant sex, suicide, etc.
Not protecting the rights that the upper ruling class of this country disfavor.
If states must accept CDLs from some illegal or legal that does not speak English issued by New York State as valid, then they should be required to accept CCW licenses from out of state.
Notably, in Slaughterhouse, the courts ruled that the Equal Protection clause does not protect occupations as a fundamental freedom (obiter dicta had travel as an example). The later Cruikshank relied on Slaughterhouse to claim that for firearm possession as well. Both are still good law.
That is the problem with not only the Supreme Court but lower courts acting as a continuing Constitutional convention without the requisite popular approval from the people's selected delegates.

More: The Nazi Communist Stimulated by Poop Posted Lewd Photos on an App Used by Minors to Arrange Hook-Ups
The App Is Called a "Predator's Paradise" For Allowing Hook-Ups with Minors, and Platner Had An Active Account Until This Past Weekend
Boy I am really a full 48 hours behind this story, as I'm sure many of you tried to tell me in the comments.
Embattled Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner finally addressed the infidelity scandal roiling his campaign after putting his wife forward to answer for him in a solo video that critics likened to a hostage film. Platner, 41, and his wife, Amy Gertner, spoke briefly to News Center Maine Sunday after a campaign appearance in Portland, dismissing as "gossip" allegations that the horny oyster farmer exchanged sexually explicit messages with as many as a dozen women since the couple tied the knot in 2023. ... "Amy and I have a very loving and very happy marriage. They would very much like to try to rip that apart," he claimed before rehashing his stump speech about closing hospitals, low pay for teachers and nurses and Mainers' paychecks not going as far as they used to. "But of course, the powers that be do not want us to talk about that, and so they're just going to do gossip instead," Platner concluded.Oh I get it, I'm the bad guy. I'm the one who violated the sancticty of your sham welfare-moocher marriage.
... Gertner flagged to campaign staffers that her husband had been chatting up other women, including through private messaging app Kik, where it was revealed the Maine Senate hopeful's profile photo featured him wearing only a towel. Platner's profile image on Kik was a bathroom mirror selfie featuring him wearing only a towel. ... In a bizarre twist to the story, Gertner was the one who tipped off campaign staffers about her husband's activities.All of his screen names are variations of P-Hustle or P-Hustler, which of course stands for "Pussy Hustler." Or, maybe, given his eroticization of the shit-house, it means Poop Hustler. Ladies, don't respond to DMs from someone calling himself Pussy Hustler. Or Mish Hunter, or Cooze Shooter, or Slam Scammer, or really anything other than a normal name. People are saying online that the app he used to send his dicpics is 60% used by young people, 13-24. I don't know if that really means much because Yutes use most hook-up apps, but he's a dirtbag and I bet this teeny-tiny trace of thin smoke might lead back to actual fire. I mean, the app is called a "predator's paradise" due to the ease with which child predators can find victims. And Platner still has an active account on it!
Platner still has active account on anonymous app dubbed 'predator's paradise' amid cheating scandalWe'll see. We'll see.
Platner's campaign says he deleted the app long ago, but Fox News Digital reviewed an active profile with a sexually suggestive image
...
Senate candidate Graham Platner has not deactivated his account on a private messaging app associated with casual sex and anonymous encounters -- despite facing mounting questions over infidelity and the platform's ties to sexual exploitation. Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee in Maine's 2026 Senate race, has an active profile on Kik, an anonymous chatting platform notorious for lax identification methods that have enabled the proliferation of child sexual abuse material. The profile, reviewed by Fox News Digital, contains a sexually suggestive picture of Platner showing the candidate's naked torso with a towel draped around his waist. It is unclear when the image was taken, but Platner created the account in 2016. Platner's presence on Kik was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, which reported that he sent sexually explicit messages to multiple women while married to his wife Amy Gertner, who wedded Platner in 2023. According to the outlet, Platner's wife first discovered the adulterous messages in the spring of 2025 and later divulged them to a since-departed campaign official. Multiple child safety groups have criticized Kik due to its anonymous structure and public group chats that allow strangers to contact each other with little effort. Users only need an email address to create an account, and there is no enforceable age-verification mechanism. Roughly 70% of the platform's users are estimated to be between 13 and 24 years old, according to multiple industry reports. The National Center on Sexual Exploitation designated Kik as a "predator's paradise" in 2023 for being rampant with "predatory behavior and child sexual exploitation." The watchdog also placed the platform on its "Dirty Dozen" list for facilitating and profiting from sexual exploitation. In 2024, Kik was rated the worst app for severe sexual content, according to Bark, a parental control and online safety platform. Between 2023 and 2025, at least four Maine men were sentenced for distributing child pornography or soliciting nude pictures from underage girls by posing as minors while using Kik. It is unclear who Platner messaged on the clandestine platform, but there is no evidence he communicated with minors.
The Platner campaign said over the weekend that he deleted the app from his phone.Just like he only papered-over his SS Totenkopf tattoo after it was exposed. Meanwhile, Democrats who claim to be Anti-Nazi and Anti-Toxic Masculinity can't stop making excuses for Platner. As Instapundit has said so many times: The people who are always telling you how passionately they believe the things they claim to believe actually believe none of the things they claim to believe. It's all psychopathic Cluster-B manipulation and status-farming.
Democrats continue to defend Graham Platner even after his most recent scandal where he was found posting explicit pictures on an app known for exploiting teens.

Democrats are again acting like they occupy the high moral ground of American politics. But if 2026 has proven anything, it's that there's virtually nothing a left-wing candidate could say or do that would elicit condemnation from Democrats if doing so threatened their power. Democrats, for example, demand credit for their opposition to Maureen Galindo, the Texas House candidate who proposed putting American "Zionists" (wink, wink) into concentration camps and castrating them. Galindo lost her Texas primary last week, but still won 36% of the vote -- not a bad showing for a politician championing mass imprisonment of her political enemies. The question, though, is whether House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, or Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or anyone at Pod Save America or the Bulwark would have uttered a word in protest, had Galindo already won her primary before making those comments. All the evidence strongly suggests no. And by evidence, I mean their explicit support for slightly less offensive cranks, extremists, bigots and terrorism apologists like new party power broker Hasan Piker, or the socialist Hezbollah fan Abdul el Sayed in Michigan, or the Hamas apologist Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania -- a guy who suggested the massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach was a "false flag" operation by "Zionists." Imagine telling someone 20 years ago that a leading House candidate in a New Jersey district right outside New York City had both volunteered for an al Qaeda front in Europe and spent years being friends with "Blind Sheik" Omar Abdel-Rahman, the longtime jihadi preacher who was sentenced for seditious conspiracy after planning a "day of terror" in 1993. Adam Hamawy defended Abdel-Rahman during his trial -- and yet not a single notable Democrat has called him out on it. Many of the same Democrats who expect Republicans to wring their hands over Republican Texas senatorial candidate Ken Paxton, a man tainted by corruption, have offered full-throated endorsement of a man who knowingly got and kept a Totenkopf SS Nazi tattoo for 20 years. It's not just Graham Platner's mentally unstable ravings -- including saying a Purple Heart recipient didn't "deserve to live," or that "all cops are bastards," or that white rural Americans were "racist and stupid," or that the Virgin Mary was a "skank," or defending child killers of Hamas, or contending that sexual assault victims bring it on themselves. It's that he still uses unhinged Marxist language right now. Platner isn't the first skeeze to run for major office, but he might be the most extreme. Only two elected Democrats, as far as I can tell, have spoken out about Platner's soft spot for Nazis. One is Sen. John Fetterman, who is under relentless attack from his own party for supporting Israel over Islamists; the other is Massachusetts Rep. Jake Auchincloss.And Auchincloss was bullied by Democrats and leftists for actually opposing a Nazi. Which, as a Jew, he's kind of duty-bound to do. But instead they told him that he was a Nazi for opposing the Nazi.

Dems switching out candidates at the last minute was perfectly demonstrated in the Torricelli-Lautenberg switcheroo in the 2002 New Jersey Senate race.
Toricelli, the incumbent, was unelectable and the GOP candidate, Forrester (?) had a good chance of grabbing the seat, so the Dems begged Lautenberg to run. He agreed, and Torricelli got the heave-ho. Lautenberg won the seat.

Schumer knew Platner was an issue months ago. That's why he got Mills to run.
When Democrats don't net any Senate seats (heck...imagine they lose one with the combination of a surprise hold in NC for the GOP followed by the Democrats losing MI) in the worst economy ever under the most unpopular president ever, and it can easily be laid at the feet of some really bad candidate choices.

The Maine Democrat Party's only hope is to convince him to drop out. They can do that before the primary or afterwards. There's a Maine state law that allows parties to replace candidates until about mid-July.
Is Platner the kind of guy who feels like he's gonna drop out because people tell him to? They couldn't keep him off KIK after telling him it was used for sexual predation of children.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at June 01, 2026 12:41 PM (7RBt4)
I don't think so. I've been giving it some meta thought, and realized that when I first read about the potential gambit, its appeal was rooted in Normalcy Bias. But Platner is *not* normal; he appears to actually fulfill the Left's fantasy stereotype of soldiers as psychopaths.
I think he's as likely to kill whoever the Party sends to pressure him, smear himself with their blood, and dance around a bonfire hooting and hollering while shaking their decapitated heads like maracas, as he is to comply and drop out on demand.

Simply Put. LIBs would have you Pity the Devil for Being EVIL. They use pity as a weapon, and pity for themselves as a weapon -- LIBs plead for a Morality which holds COMPROMISE as its standard of Value, making it possible to judge Virtue on the basis of the number of Values which one is willing to Betray.

She's (assumption) GOT to be sitting on awful, awful stuff. Keep in mind that all this information about Platner is coming from the LEFT in an effort to chase him from the race before they're stuck with him as the nominee.

They paused their campaign to pursue this option due to the significantly lower medical and travel costs in Europe compared to the United States. The couple noted that a single round of IVF in Norway costs roughly $5,500 compared to domestic quotes of $15,000 to $30,000.
While Platner initially cited the prohibitive costs of US healthcare as a reason for traveling overseas, it was later revealed that his and Amy's parents covered the expenses for the treatments, travel, and lodging.
In April, the couple announced that they suffered a miscarriage following the IVF treatment. Platner has used their personal infertility journey as a platform to advocate for universal healthcare and better fertility support.

Toricelli, the incumbent, was unelectable and the GOP candidate, Forrester (?) had a good chance of grabbing the seat, so the Dems begged Lautenberg to run. He agreed, and Torricelli got the heave-ho. Lautenberg won the seat.
Posted by: mrp at June 01, 2026 01:22 PM (rj6Yv)
It was even worse than that. The deadline to switch out the candidate had passed, so Torricelli was stuck on the ballot. Not to worry, though, because the Dems were able to find a friendly judge who ruled that it was OK to put Lautenberg in after the deadline had passed.

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

I don't expect Democrats to give a shit about the moral failures of their nominees and politicians.
But he has to be elected in a state that's 40% registered independent against a long-term incumbent who's survived every electoral scare thrown her way.
Dems can nominate Platner all they want. They can throw tens of millions of dollars at him.

None of the people making that claim believe it. You can go search their posting history and until 2025 they all claimed in unison there were no Epstein clients.
What changed?
The left looked at the 2024 campaign and decided they lost in part because of the Epstein claims against Dem leaders so they figured if they make those claims against Republicans it will instead hurt their enemies.
But here's how you can have fun with them - remember that CA Bill where they tried to legalize underage prostitution. Ask them if everyone that voted for that bill should be arrested.

How did you do it, pray tell?
I've been going to the gym for nearly three years. 3 days a week I do heavy weight training (I'm up to 390lbs squat, 275lbs bench, 475lbs deadlift). I do two days a week of cardio. Typically 7.5 kilometers on a rower in ~31 minutes on full resistance, then ~43 minutes on a stair climb machine on level 6.
I've been calorie counting on and off for about that same time. I usually kill it during the week, then fall apart a little bit on the weekend. Not a total binge, but I'll do something like have a personal pizza on Friday night and maybe get Mexican on Saturday night.
What I recently changed is I got on Wegovy. 1.5mg for a month, then 4mg. Its made it easy to stay on my calorie budget.
Yeah, I know. Some will say it's cheating and I just need to get some discipline. I do need to improve my discipline. But I think I've been exercising pretty good discipline for years.

He's a nepo baby narcissist who went to war three times (once with Blackwater) to, as he put it, "kill people" and is lying about it to try and score some minor political hit against Susan Collins.
He held onto his SS tattoo for nearly 20 years (and might still have it).
He joined a dating site designed for child predation.
And he's still going to win his nomination by 30-50 points. With the knowledge that the party will fall in line behind him once the deadline is passed.

When the f**k did the "courts" begin to be allowed to be Revolutionary Command Council members with mind-reading powers? Many of the most ludicrous lawless usurpations and idiocies by "courts" since Trump 1 have included this absurd conceit of finding "animus" in a policy.
None of this is within their substantive or formal competence, of course. They're not policymakers, they're not lawmakers, they're glorified clerks. All old news but the more you learn about the US system as it's devolved the less wonder, respect, and starry-eyed "patriotic" enthusiasm is feasible.
I think the SEALs avoided the Idiocy Crisis under the vegetable administration simply by doing/saying nothing. BUDS and hell week attrits 90% of aspiring candidates anyway. Don't know, though I know someone who would know, how many females or trans mental cases even attempted to get it. Anyway.

Directly countering Whoopi Goldberg-
SARA HAINES: Not to make this political, I'm usually not the one who does that. But watching the video of the wife saying, 'you know, don't spend energy on these ads.' The problem with these ads is, they are true. These accusations are true.
What they're doing to James Talarico in Texas are calling him things that he isn't. That's where you don't spend energy is on false information. But on this, I would argue you tell it like this is.
This is a character flaw. This isn't - He, Platner has said, you know, he did it -- I didn't mean it I've changed. This is a problem. The Purple Heart recipient, by the way, the video he insulted was a man who took fire to save his team and he said, 'this stupid guy should have died. It's only because they didn't have good aim that he's here.'
If you were capable of saying that at any time in your life, you've shown me who you are and I heard you. This man should be nowhere near Congress.

There was a girl I went to high school with that was in our circle of friends. Beautiful girl. She got married, and her husband was out fucking around. He gave her aids, and she didn't know. She got pregnant and passed it to her unborn daughter. The daughter eventually got sick and they both ended up eventually dying. It was sad. He wasn't gay, but was with an infected chick that got it from one of those gay dudes that also doinked the occasional woman spreading their bullshit outside their circle. It was one of the times where if I had the power I would have built a fag auschwitz and burned them all.

The best book on AIDS is called "Inventing the AIDS Virus" by the late Peter Duesberg, MD (just died last January). He was the pre-eminent Cancer doctor in the US and then he investigated AIDS. The book is a complete expose on how AIDS doesn't even qualify as a disease using the standard definition of a disease used by the medical profession, how AZT was a chemical that pretty much killed everyone who took it to "cure" their AIDS, and much more. Highly recommended.

That was just an artifact of the root cause, the method of transmission: ejaculation.
Early on, there was the case of the woman who contracted HIV via a blood transfusion. Her and her husband had regular unprotected sex, like 3 or 4 times a week for four years before she was diagnosed. He never got it.
Women whose husbands had it almost always contracted the disease.
To the extent that it made a good acronym (Anally Injected Death Sentence) AIDS was a better name than HIV.

Surprise: Nazi Communist Who Is Sexually Aroused by Feces Also Sexts Women Other Than His Wife
Shane Goldmacher
@ShaneGoldmacher Ms. McDonald said Ms. Gertner told her that her husband had been exchanging sexual messages with as many as a dozen women. A current Platner campaign official said Mr. Platner had been communicating with up to six women.
So this is what he meant by Oyster Farming.
Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate looking to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, exchanged sexual texts with several women after marrying his wife two years ago, according to a report. Platner's campaign confirmed the text exchanges to Politico following a report from the Wall Street Journal that claimed his wife, Amy Gertner, told a campaign aide about the texts after he launched his senate bid as they began looking into potential political liabilities. Gertner discovered the messages months after the couple married in 2024, the WSJ reported. She made the private revelation before Platner held a campaign rally last year supported by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., but the aide decided the texts were a private matter for the couple, the campaign said, according to the newspaper. Gertner said in a statement to the Journal: "I confided deeply personal details about my marriage to someone I considered a friend. In the months since, I have had to watch as she spread malicious gossip to anyone who would take her call. I trusted this person with the most private chapter of our lives -- the early days of our marriage before any campaign was on our mind -- and I am deeply hurt by her betrayal and the invasion of our privacy."This report said she told a "campaign aide," so 1, this was well into the contemplation of a campaign and 2, the information wasn't shared "with a friend," but with a campaign aide for purposes of protecting the campaign. Also -- what would it matter that he was unfaithful before any campaign was on his mind? Is this the Area Code theory of infidelity, applied to campaigns?
Hello, sorry for the lateness, went out too late for my walk and then went to the market. Not really an excuse. Crow update: Yesterday the crows saw me getting coffee and squawked and cawed until I gave them some snacks. I think the whole pack of crows has been alerted because a lot more are flying around, although just the male and female couple are actually landing to eat. When I was out at the market I got kettlecorn for the crows. A significant amount of my life now consists of guessing what crows might like to eat. The main answer is "cheese." They love it.
Platner, an oyster farmer and veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, has also faced a number of controversies before this, including a since-removed tattoo that resembled a Nazi symbol, and past controversial comments on Reddit minimizing sexual assault and making crude remarks about masturbation and a deleted post where he claimed a wounded soldier "didn't deserve to live."

Primary is June 9, next Tuesday.
There is still another candidate (David Collins), and Mills, the governor, is still on the ballot though she suspended her campaign.
However, he was winning in polls by like 30-50 points after the Nazi tattoo came out. He's most likely not going to lose the primary.
The Maine Democrat Party's only hope is to convince him to drop out. They can do that before the primary or afterwards. There's a Maine state law that allows parties to replace candidates until about mid-July.
Is Platner the kind of guy who feels like he's gonna drop out because people tell him to? They couldn't keep him off KIK after telling him it was used for sexual predation of children.

IIRC, unless he agrees to step down, and before July 9 (?), there isn't much they can do. Mills would be the obvious replacement.

After this, I have to imagine the national party is writing off the race completely.
There's no way they come back from their frontrunner having this many issues (with more to come, I'm sure), even if they Biden him and put up their uninspiring alternate who couldn't muster enough support to even make it to the primary.
A lot of bad blood will be spilled in that instance.
Just make the best of it. Fundraise off of him through Act Blue and then send those funds to North Carolina to help Cooper.

There was a poll of the Maine senate race last week.
It showed Platner winning.
What people ignored was that the indy vote (which makes up 40% of the electorate in Maine) shifted 14 points towards Collins since the last poll.
And Platner's lead was pretty much the same in both.

Reportedly, in his 2003 senior yearbook at John Bapst Memorial High School (no, not the Catholic school) in Bangor, Maine, his classmates voted him "Most Likely to Start a Revolution".
In his yearbook photo, he holds a sign reading "Free Kosovo Chechnya Kashmir Palestine Kurdistan Tibet"
Platner protested at the Bangor International Airport in 2002, and was removed by the Secret Service while heckling President George W. Bush ("w") about the looming Iraq War.
Yet, in 2005, he joins the US Marines and where does he go?
And once getting out of the US Marines, he bartends & goes to school - like AOC - but gets bored or something & joins the Maryland National Guard to serve a tour in Afghanistan.

He was heavily groomed by all the usual scumbags — including deep Obama people — and was the subject of fawning media pieces before he even announced his candidacy.
He is an op. Everything is an op.
I don’t think he’ll drop out or even be forced out. He’s in too deep with the right people. I hope the Dumocrap machine spends piles of money on this loser.

Black turnout will be down at least 10% because of the primary where the black candidate lost (happens all the time in Dem primaries vs. generals where the black candidate loses).
And the state has hardened partisanly, especially at the federal level.
A loss of 10 seems like a low bound.

Why is this subreddit so obsessed with Platner? He did some horrible things. He served four Iraq tours and very likely killed innocent people. He was a mercenary for Blackwater. And of course, the Nazi tattoo.
The obsession is coming from the fascists and liberals who, as always, obsessively seek to crush any gains of the left. Many naive people (and some liberal simps) here are buying into it.
He ran security for an ambassador for 6 months and left. these people think if you say backwater enough times they’ll burn the image of graham choking out a 4 year old in the dead of night with a pmc patch on.
Perfect is the enemy of the good. I will always vote on policies and removing fascist from office. There is no better candidate. And genuinely he's a near ideal general election candidate in Maine.
Nobody is swooning, we're defending him against idiots/plants like you. Actual Nazis don't tend to apologize and cover up their Nazi stuff.
Purity tests for you. Purity tests for you! PURITY TESTS FOR EVERYONE!!!

I wouldn't hold your breath. Collins and her campaign are about the most limp-wristed RINO stooges you can find. Remember that story that they dropped where they had oppo on him that would "make him leave the state"? I'm 100% willing to bet that those prancing fairies think that this is that terribly condemning scandal.

A current Platner campaign official said Mr. Platner had been communicating with up to six women.

‘Up to six’? Wtf does that mean? It’s easy enough to know the exact number. Even The Paolo knows exactly how many 100s of women he’s sexting.
Imagine who these ladies are — assuming they are real ladies and not rocking gangling dicks in their pants — that they’re intentionally sexting with this degenerate homosexual creep.

From allowing the Obama administration to do outright illegal things (like Fast and Furious) without even rhetorical admonition to the rise of the Squad who get used to fundraise and never actually squashed to the embrace of Islamists to actual structural changes like weakening super delegates in the presidential primary process, the establishment has willingly given more and more power to the insane left of several ilks all while needing to push out the normal white population in order to appease the new additions.
So, the establishment is trying to pretend it's the part of the 90s while the party of today is screaming about how borders are illegal, Jews are the devil, and all MAGA needs to be put in camps.

Getting him to drop out now would be cleaner. He'd lose the primary, granting it to Mills (presumably), and then there'd be less bad blood about a coup.
There'd still be bad blood, but not as much as after winning the primary and being the people's choice.
That's why the push is now and in public, not later and behind closed doors. Hell, there was probably a lot of behind closed doors pressure about this exact stuff (and more!) for months before this weekend.

Facist, Nazi, It's all just a team cheer. They don't know anything but winning. Their lives are wholly disconnected from politics.
If they win they can cheer and feel good about themselves for being good, and the rot and decay never touches them. If they lose they can emote about that and the hard work to fix all the rot and decay doesn't effect them.
It's just a sport and cheering for their team.

Dems switching out candidates at the last minute was perfectly demonstrated in the Torricelli-Lautenberg switcheroo in the 2002 New Jersey Senate race.
Toricelli, the incumbent, was unelectable and the GOP candidate, Forrester (?) had a good chance of grabbing the seat, so the Dems begged Lautenberg to run. He agreed, and Torricelli got the heave-ho. Lautenberg won the seat.

I don't think so. I've been giving it some meta thought, and realized that when I first read about the potential gambit, its appeal was rooted in Normalcy Bias. But Platner is *not* normal; he appears to actually fulfill the Left's fantasy stereotype of soldiers as psychopaths.
I think he's as likely to kill whoever the Party sends to pressure him, smear himself with their blood, and dance around a bonfire hooting and hollering while shaking their decapitated heads like maracas, as he is to comply and drop out on demand.

@joelmowbray
The brains — and enforcer — behind Graham Platner is
@katz_morris, Zohran Mamdani's media guru.
Katz is the new David Axelrod, who mentors him.
And the Pod Save bros love Katz.
AFTER Katz publicly savaged a female former staffer, he got
@jonfavs to write a now-viral tweet defending Platner.
Obama's former media guru did Katz's bidding after Axelrod's protégé tweeted, "There should be no place in our politics for incompetent, opportunistic operatives who violate privacy, betray trust, and prioritize vengeance over decency."
This morning, it came out that Katz had threatened Platner's former campaign manager, Genevieve McDonald, with a smear campaign before the WSJ story published.
Since the revelation of Katz's threat, Jon Favreau has been silent.
Also silent has been Katz's mentor and close friend, David Axelrod.
So when you see the closing of ranks behind the Nazi-tattooed misogynist, just remember it's literally a protégé of Obama's media team using brute force to make that happen.
Welcome to the Democratic Party of 2026.

For those not keeping up. The "fascist" is the chick without the Nazi tattoo.
And it's funny hearing people invert the wisdom of "Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good" demonstrate how much of a purist ideologue they are by thinking it's a good thing to reverse it.
This is probably why there will never be any "socialism done right" in anybody's time, because it will be at least one person's idea of "wrong" and "imperfect".

THE MORNING RANT: Senators Cornyn & Cassidy Were My Fault, Because I Voted for Both of Them as the “Most Electable Candidate”; also, the Amazing Rhythm Ace of Spades
Dear Texas and Louisiana voters: With a combination of gratitude and shame, I’d like to thank you for cleaning up the mess I helped create by putting Democrat-aligned RINOs in the Senate to represent your great states. I apologize for my role in putting duplicitous, faux-conservatives in a position to betray the actual conservatives who elected them, and I hope others will learn the lesson I learned – never, ever vote for the most “electable” candidate if it means empowering someone who may align with the left against conservatives.
Politics is not a sporting event where we simply cheer for whomever is wearing our team’s jersey. John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy were allegedly Team Republican, but they have spent the past nine years working with Democrats to undermine the man whom Republicans voted for in the past three presidential elections. To my ever-lasting disgrace, while living in Texas I voted for John Cornyn in the 2002 Republican primary, because he was the “moderate” and “electable” Republican who was most likely to defeat the “popular” Dallas Mayor, Ron Kirk, in the general election. Cornyn won the primary and the general election, and he then proceeded to stab conservatives in the back for the next 24 years. The power of incumbency could no longer protect him this year, as disgusted Texas Republicans voted for Ken Paxton by a landslide in the Texas senate primary.Even worse, while living in Louisiana in 2014, I voted for Bill Cassidy in the US Senate primary since he was the most “electable” Republican candidate running against the “moderate” and “popular” three-term Democrat incumbent, Mary Landrieu. Not only has Bill Cassidy been hostile to the MAGA agenda, he actually joined Senate Democrats in voting to convict President Trump in the farcical impeachment trial in early 2021. After Cassidy’s 12-year run of duplicity and betrayal against the Republicans who elected him, he too was just voted out of office, finishing third in the Republican primary.
These two senators who are routinely praised by Trump-haters for being men of high character are already making clear that they will finish out their term with middle fingers fully extended toward their constituents. They plan to represent national Democrats and the DC swamp for their final months in office, not the states that elected them to office. The “respectable Republicans” who advocated for Cornyn’s and Cassidy’s re-election are cheering on this score-settling, and blaming Donald Trump for the despicable character now on full display by Cornyn and Cassidy.
“Character”, to the modern voter, means “willingness and ability to faithfully represent the interests of the voters who elected them”
— Surma Greene (@SurmaGreene) May 29, 2026
Anyone looking for something other than that should go to church.
There are plenty of other Cornyns and Cassidys running in Republican senate primaries across the country. Down in Georgia, Derek Dooley has already gone off-script and revealed that he plans to go “full Lankford” once elected and oppose Trump’s border-control policies. But there is already a Democrat Senator from Georgia (Jon Ossoff) battling Trump’s successful closure of the border, so there is absolutely no reason for Georgia Republicans to elect a guy wearing our jersey to vote in Washington like Ossoff. (Mike Collins is apparently the Georgia Republican senate candidate who is most likely to authentically represent MAGA if elected.)
I was a fan of the Amazing Rhythm Aces when I was a teen in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, incorporating the Aces’ music into my “Long-Haired Country” mix-tapes, along with the likes of Asleep at the Wheel, Rusty Wier, Charlie Daniels, and David Allen Coe. I was also a big fan of Nancy Griffith throughout her career, and my favorite song of hers was “Gulf Coast Highway,” a song co-written by Mr. Hooker and Ms. Griffith.
I was pleasantly surprised one day when I received a Twitter follow from James Hooker, who acknowledged being an Ace of Spades fan. We subsequently traded occasional pleasantries about music, or simple holiday greetings. Mr. Hooker recently shared with me a new recording that is political in nature, “Mr. Smith (He Don’t Live Here No More).” The title refers to the straight-arrow, corruption-fighting senator played by James Stewart in the 1939 film “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” Mr. Hooker wrote the song about 15 years ago – but never recorded it – back in the era when the Tea Party had apparently been defeated by the Washington establishment. In reality, however, it was just creating further voter disgust that set the stage for MAGA. That disgust toward swamp politicians who betray their constituents – e.g. people like John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy – is captured in this song, which is also a great, bluesy song stylistically, irrespective of the lyrics. The good news is that voters are now taking the initiative to terminate the political careers of these types of politicians.Writ' by me about 15 years ago..... pic.twitter.com/bkR2bPb88k

Since we’re talking about the Amazing Rhythm Aces, here they are playing their biggest hit, “Third Rate Romance.” (James Hooker is in the peach-colored shirt playing the black piano.)
And finally, here’s Nancy Griffith along with James Hooker playing their sweet, sad song “Gulf Coast Highway”
Thank you, James. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

In years past, we didn't have a viable candidate who was going to be able to beat Cornyn in the primary, even if people voted for the challenger.

With the last 20+ years of experience, I'm done holding my nose and voting for a GOP candidate to keep the democrat out. The GOP candidate is going to be a democrat anyways. Might as well sit it out, help make the GOP candidate unemployed, and try to fix it during the next election cycle.

John son must have known this would happen, so he always "let" Cornyn vote against GOP interests. Everyone else assumed that was a "safe" bet - we had the votes (barely) to pass legislation that was going to die in the Senate anyway, so who gives a flip about what the voters want?
Turns out, the VOTERS care - they care a LOT.
I still haven't forgotten what Cornyn pulled with Lisa Murkowski and Miller in Alaska all those years ago. Apparently I wasn't the only one who was gunning for bear (again) this time.

I’m genuinely asking. Because AFAIK he voted the right way for cabinet nominees, judges, tax cuts, etc. He’s been portrayed as another McCain but I don’t remember him being like that.

When President Biden and his party pushed for a major gun control package in 2022, all Senate Republicans like Cornyn had to do was say, “No.” But Texas’ senior senator had other ideas. Cornyn not only voted for the bill that was peppered with vague language about “dating partners” and red flag laws; he spearheaded negotiations with Senate Democrats on behalf of the Republican conference.
Without Cornyn and Co.’s help, the legislation likely would have never passed.
For that alone may he suck syphilitic cock.

Nope, you do that any way EXCEPT the general. Dems vote lockstep 100% of the time. ANY DEM is a destroyer of our country. Even a bad R tends to never be that bad.
You do what we did this cycle - eliminate 10 bad Rs by getting them to retire, to refuse to run, or to lose primaries. That's how it's done. By the general, it's time to fall in line like Ds...

A century of Congress ceding power to the executive has made the presidency the only office that really matters at the federal level.
The president has so much power over enforcement and regulatory writing that he's effectively an emperor.
Yes, we do get these side shows of district judges stopping things here and there, but that doesn't change the fact that "Trump is methodically stripping immigrants — including many with legal status — of their ability to function in daily life, cutting them off from everything from jobs to day-care subsidies.

Back then, they (WERE, with a capital everything, WERE) electable. But what the fuck dies electability count for when they're just working for the Democrats and don't even bother pretending otherwise?
Then, of course, they just became openly partisan Democrats during Trump, resorting to the sleaziest, most aggressive tactics to try and stem the rising tide of populism that inevitably drowned them despite their best efforts.
And now? Well, they can no longer even pretend at electability. They're nothing without Trump at the top of the ticket, and they never will be again.

It's important to realize that all of this is coming from Democrat leaks. His former campaign manager and probably supported by Schumer's operation.
Mills is still on the ballot despite dropping out and there's another guy running (David Costello).
Primary is June 9, next Tuesday. And there's a law in Maine that lets a party replace a primary winner with another candidate before mid-July.
They're pushing him out to replace him, but Platner is a nepo-baby narcissist who won't bend.
I cannot wait for mid-July when he's weathered the storm, the deadline is in the past, and Collins finally unloads with what oppo she has.

To be fair, W was not a bad governor in the sense that he did a couple of things he said he'd do (e.g. not veto concealed carry) and didn't screw anything up horribly so I felt like he deserved his chance in 2000. By '04, he was just Not John Kerry.

Mike Pence on Face the Nation. What a spineless lump of quivering cowardice. His career in politics has been dead since Jan 6th, and this coward cannot say anything more than mild oblique criticism of Trump.
When questioned about Trump endorsing far-right bigots in the primaries over qualified conservatives he dissembled and blamed Democrats for going full on socialist.
What a pitiful excuse of a man.
He went on about how radical left lunatics have gone too far, and whrn asked if his book was a rebuke of MAGA republicanism he said something like, “I’m not really one for labels”. Complete coward.
It's Mike Pence, he was never an ally. Just look at this shit he did as governor in Indiana.
It’s kind of cringe the Kennedy’s gave him the “Profile in Courage” award last year. expressing "concern" or having some "reservations" about the latest batsh!t crazy action taken by the administration is noteworthy?
Pence shows what happened to the GOP. They believed they could be a Reagan Republican in a Trump party of MAGA white national socialism. They compromised themselves because they feared being kicked out.

Constitution as designed makes Congress the most powerful of the three branches.
It funds the executive, has sole authority to write laws, and can impeach the president while the president can't remove any Congressmember at all.
There were conflicts of visions, for sure. But, the Virginia Plan which became the Constitution heavily favors Congress, and that's what the Founders put into practice.

At the time I thought 'Oh, so he's tougher than he appears. Core of steel in a velvet glove' that kind of thing. He was more craft and cunning than his exterior folksy appearance.
The problem is: Disingenuousness is NOT a good thing. There are two kinds of people like this. Those who when pushed in public harden like steel and push back. That is strength tempered by humility and courtesy. And then there is the passive aggressive puppeteer who in public is shy and retiring and in private is ordering hits on the opposition.
The GOPe learned from Bush that they could be all happy and accommodating on the surface and then fuck the base in the ass and be mean as hell to get what THEY wanted. See... almost all the GOP politicians of the past 20 years.

Trump is putting to fire every one of their "we can't do this now" excuses for reneging on their campaign promises.
Even as it crumbles to ash in their hands, they still cling to all those lies.
Like Cornyn actually thinking introducing a bill to name a highway in TX after Trump was going to save him--"just put ol' John back in the Senate and I promise I'll get to all those other things I promised every 6 years for the last 24 years."

It took Trump like 7 years to really start.
His naivete about how the party itself operated at the beginning was...unfortunate. And then the struggle actually started, and the first real win was taking over the RNC and displacing Ronna McDaniel which didn't happen until March of 2024.
But, the effects once he actually started making intra-party ground have been quite sweeping, it seems.

If you are a scumbag opportunist in an R district, you probably run for office as an R even though, in your heart, you are D
This is how the R party gets infested with these people. Understand that some percentage of people running as R are only doing that because they are in districts where a D can not get elected. This is why the more conservative states often have the worst Republicans.
(Also note that this applies to the Dems as well -- if you are a commie scumbag, you probably run ad a D without letting on that you are really S for socialist.)

A guy named Thomas Astruc created a popular anime. One of his characters is named Marinette. Astruc was engaging some fans by answering questions and someone asked him if Marinette is bisexual. Someone else answered for him, "Yes, he confirmed it already"
Astruc responded, "No" to this person.
This set off the freaks. One person quote tweets, "DURING PRIDE MONTH IS EVIL. THIS IS LITERALLY BREAKING MY HEART."

Well. Okay. Your proposal is acceptable.

Iran may have just given Trump what he's wanted this whole time. A plausible reason to finally handle the family business.
And given that they have targeted Him(Trump) as well as his family members (Ivanka) without regard to the LIB international order of *not* targetting heads of state and their families just what he wanted.
Remember who did this:
"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists and other potential adversaries around the world that they can change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season on Americans."
-- Bill Clinton '93 just before he pulled out of Somalia.
To abandon this area now -- and to rely only on efforts against alQaeda from a distance -- would significantly hamper our ability to keep the pressure on al Qaeda, and create an UNACCEPTABLE RISK -- OBAMA'09
What is the vital national interest? -- IceKingJOE who enabled precisely that!

The only way to.let your reps know what YOU want is to write or call. It's a little better than voting, but it still depends of the collective. Any one vote means little, and any single call or text is close to the same. You have to convince others to get off their asses.

In the 1966 movie How to Steal a Million, Audrey Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, and other actors all pronounce it as "Van Gokh." They are supposed to be in Paris, and Audrey's character and her father (actor Hugh Griffith) are French. But O'Toole's cat burglar is English or Irish, and he uses that pronunciation. When in France, I guess.

Excavations revealed 21 burials. One discovery, however, stood out from the rest — a woman buried at the center of the cemetery. According to Kurguzkin, most members of the Andronovo culture were relatively short, averaging around 130–140 centimeters in height. Based on skeletal remains, however, this woman may have stood nearly two meters tall.
As for art, Mikhail Gerasimov has drawn a portrait of this 6'5"-ette. But the article doesn't show it! He must be posting that on OnlyFans or Patreon (which is what I might do).

Early 1887
Artist:
Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)
About this artwork
This painting dates from the winter of 1887, roughly a year after Vincent van Gogh arrived in Paris to join his brother, the art dealer Theo van Gogh. It is one of a group of landscapes featuring the Butte Montmartre, a short climb from the apartment on the rue Lepic where Vincent and Theo lived. Montmartre was dotted with reminders of its quickly receding rural past—abandoned quarries, kitchen gardens, and three surviving windmills, including the Moulin de Blute-Fin. The nonfunctional mill had become a tourist attraction, affording spectacular panoramic views over Paris from the observation tower erected beside it.
---
The painting is peaceful but elementary, lacking any of the panoramic view reported to be present.
Never saw this early van Gogh before, so it's interesting because it is so different from later drawings & paintings.
Thanks.

Trying to absorb the language of diplomacy in a warlike/political environment is frustrating because they're literally different languages.
I don't think the US takes the talks seriously. Like, at all. And they never have.
I think the US's priority is to squeeze through the blockade while reorientating the world towards US energy.
Evidence today of massive demand destruction in China for oil. That won't snap back. That demand is gone. While the world is ramping up to overproduce while also find ways around the strait (UAE is building a pipeline that should have capacity to completely replace the 20 million barrels per day traffic the strait dealt with antebellum).

Reminds me of the guy who was in a senior government climate change-related position, one of the highest paid federal employees, who had been stealing for many years by claiming he was also employed by the CIA - he was not at work half the time, expensed his travel costs. Only reason he got caught was because after he retired, he disputed the amount of paid vacation days for which he was due compensation.

but, tbh, I don't think Americans want to know how much the CIA is just a shadow cabal of quasi-royals that have full control of the US federal government.
Especially as we have open and known CIA plants now running both VA and NJ, eagerly supported by the Dems.
Just like the FBI.
Every CIA and FBI over a GS-12 must be fired and permanently banned from government.
We will survive that loss of talent, skill and knowledge.
And even the good ones lost.

I actually think based on observation that Kash is gaining control of the FBI to where I'm somewhat less worried about them.
CIA was always going to be the harder nut to crack there. This arrest is a promising sign, but the fact that it's over a year into the term means we *have* to win in '28 for any cleanup to have a real effect.

We're never close, no matter what press releases say.
The IRGC knows its survival, not as an organization but as individuals, relies on them keeping the uranium (which honestly may not exist anymore, the UE-60 is gaseous and probably evaporated during the bombing campaign when containment was likely cracked) and having some kind of leverage over the world, hence the strait drama.
But they're losing $450 million a day in lost trade, have no manufacturing capabilities anymore, and increasing populist issues at home (though apparently no actual organizing force to counter since it's just generalized discontent and anger).

How are they going to rearm?
Roughly 98% of their trade was done by sea from Persian and Oman Gulf ports. The Caspian Sea ports are tiny, and the railroads into Pakistan from Eastern Iran carry minimal cargo and even have different gauges which requires changing over.
And decades of arming got them a few dozen American drones over the course of 10,000 sorties over their airspace.

van Gogh was here in the early stage of his career as a painter. As he progressed, he continued his practice of licking his paintbrushes to quickly sharpen the bristles to a fine point; some of the paints were pigmented with heavy metal compounds, and over the following years, this contributed to the development of his distinctive style.

Iran is run by retarded thugs who were gifted their situation by a compliant and terrified west.
Yes, they want time.
But time is not on their side because the blockade exists.
They didn't import their ballistic missiles. They manufactured them. They can't get the precursor materials anymore, and their entire manufacturing base was wiped out.
Inflation is a growing disaster in the country while the people are doing large demonstrations in the streets. The IRGC was so sure of their situation that they imported their proxies from Eastern Iraq to keep the people down.
All while their out of country assets are being seized by the US Treasure Department in conjunction with the Gulf State governments.

The Morning Report — 6/ 1 /26
“People familiar with the matter” told the Wall Street Journal that Platner’s wife, Amy Gertner, reportedly shared with an aide in August that she had found the sexually explicit messages “early in their marriage in the spring of 2025.”From what I have read, the app is heavily used by pedophiles trolling for underage partners. Does that make Platner a P3DO, well where there's smoke there's fire, n'est ce pas?
This astonishing level of illegal content might appear unique, but in recent years this kind of activity has become rampant across Kik. A joint Forbes and Point Report investigation has uncovered evidence of a vast number of child exploitation cases involving the use of Kik, where some of the most appalling material is being shared and young girls and boys are being targeted for grooming. Posing as 14-year-old girls, we also discovered just how quickly predators were on the prowl and how third-party apps for sharing profiles appeared to be facilitating access to minors. And we found that Kik hasn’t even been deleting the profiles of individuals charged and convicted of child abuse offenses.Well, as I said, If the above doesn't define the typical Democrat/Leftist, well certainly this does:
An adviser to socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders dismissed a Nazi-inspired tattoo Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner received as a “skull and crossbones” during a panel discussion Sunday.Yup, as Fat Abert Speer Whoopi rape-rape would say, it's not Nazi-Nazi. Defend by deflection, obfuscation and gaslighting. Bad enough but Platner's wife went even lower by allowing herself to be a stooge!
Amy Gertner, who married Platner in 2023, said that she was “deeply hurt” about the campaign’s former political director, whom she tipped off about the sexting, confirming the messages to the press. The video drew widespread criticism from observers who said it appeared that Platner was letting his wife take the heat for him. “It looks and sounds like a hostage video,” one X user posted. “Blink twice if you need rescuing, Amy.” The randy oyster farmer is believed to have had sexting affairs with up to a dozen women, according to reports.Yeah, she "defended" him alright! BANGOR, he hardly knew her! The other thing that absolutely is the sine qua non of Democrats/Leftists is violence and terrorism in pursuit of absolute power.
Police arrested at least 20 protesters outside embattled New Jersey ICE detention center Delaney Hall Sunday night after they broke a new curfew imposed to stop the violent rallies from continuing for a third week straight, as the Department of Homeland Security vowed to show “ZERO tolerance for rioters.” . . . Several arrests were made in front of a wall disturbingly grafittied with “KILL ICE” across it. . . Chaos has engulfed the immigration detention facility in Newark since at least May 22, after top Democrat officials, including New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, raised concerns about inhumane conditions in the facility and the lack of visitation hours.Their "concerns" were a naked signal to their Antifa and other street goons as well as braindead dupes to engage in violent attacks on the facility. More typical Democrat behavior: get others to do your dirty work by being cannon fodder for the media. Other than this, speaking of flaming wreckage in Maine, or near it...
People across New England heard the sky clap back Saturday afternoon, and for a while, nobody knew why. Houses shook, windows rattled, and police departments fielded calls from worried residents. . . a natural meteor tore into the atmosphere, broke apart roughly 40 miles above northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire, and released energy equal to about 300 tons of TNT.. . Robert Lunsford, fireball report coordinator for the American Meteor Society (that's a job title!), described the object as roughly three feet wide. Reports reached the society from Delaware to Montreal, a huge footprint for a rock small enough to fit through many front doors. From the Associated Press:Kaboom, indeed!

In February last year, it was revealed that U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell, who blocked an order by President Donald J. Trump to freeze federal grant spending at the time, went on an anti-white, anti-Trump tirade in an interview a few years prior. Later that same year, Richard Bennett, a federal judge, upheld anti-white admissions policies at the United States Naval Academy. “The Academy has tied its use of race to the realization of an officer corps that represents the country it protects and the people it leads,” Bennett argued at the time.

Ice does not need to say you are violent.
A U.S. immigration officer (this includes ICE, CBP, and even sworn state and local law enforcement) must determine that the person is inadmissible to the United States based on having either:
lied or misrepresented a material fact, including falsely claiming U.S. citizenship, in obtaining U.S. entry documents or admission, or
entered the U.S. without a valid entry document (such as a visa or border crosser card) or travel document (such as a passport).

As to Trumps infidelity, there is really no public evidence that Trump cheated on any of his wives, what is publicly known is that he was married, got divorced, married again.

Trump hasn't transferred anything, and isn't going to. He's just stalling, and there could be a number of reasons. He's not going to release any frozen assets until - at a minimum - the US has the heavily-enriched uranium in-hand, and there's no way the mullahs would ever surrender it.
If you want to talk about "economic shocks", and "50 times", the Supreme Leader is obviously determined to hit NYC with a nuke, and that economic shock would be 50 times 9/11. Obama set us up for that; Trump is solving the 47 year long problem.

Indeed. I remember back when I still watched Fox during Trump's first campaign, they were interviewing him, and got his first wife on the phone. She gladly endorsed him, and he at least acted surprised. He seemed to have a genuine respect and even affection for his first wife, even after all the horrible things she claimed during their divorce. They seemed to be saying "when you get divorced, it's what you do". I don't think she accused him of cheating - she accused him of rape, IIRC. I don't know what went wrong with that marriage, but it's probably impossible to really find out.
Ivanka died under what I thought was suspicious circumstances, and I would suspect the same people who are trying to assasinate him and his family, not him. She apparently wasn't well=protected.

Nothing about actually GETTING that patent though.
Really, he just sounds like a quack, but it reminds me of something I was hearing about the Big Bang Theory recently (not the show). I swear there was something about it that appeared to violate the conservation of energy, and the attitude about THAT was essentially that when it comes to their precious BBT, that natural laws like that are more of a SUGGESTION.
I'm certainly not a Creationist, or anything like that, but have had a problem with the BBT for a long time. For one thing, it sounds suspiciously like the Biblical story of Creation, just with a different timeline. Universe just pops into existence all of a sudden for no apparent reason. They teach it as fact, instead of just an educated "best guess" that could be supplanted any time.

Well, it's more than a best guess, it's the only thing that explains physical reality.
The universe is observed to be expanding in all directions from a general space-time location, if it is expanding in all directions form a single point, then ipso facto at one time, approximately 13.8B years ago, the entire physical universe was located in a single point vector of near infinate density.

I don’t understand why the origin of the universe can be considered a topic of scientific investigation in any way. By definition, science must be about phenomena that are observable and reproducible. The origin of the universe is neither: no one observed (except IMHO God himself) and certainly it cannot be reproduced for observation…. So it’s entirely in the realm of speculation.

To say "it's the only thing" is just arrogant. You could say that about any scientific theory that was later refined also.
Without a time machine, you can't know whether the expansion has gone on for all time, or even started at a single point. It's just an extrapolation. Who's to say the expansion isn't some sort of illusion, that can't ultimately be explained in other ways. Where does that timeline really even come from?

Yes, I think it was probably WAS talking about some JWST discovery, where suddenly conservation of energy was optional in what I read.
Still cracks me up, how everybody seems to conveniently ignore that in both BBT and Genesis, that the Universe magically pops into existence at a single point in time, and time begins. The difference is that with the latter it's on purpose, by a supernatural being; in the former, it just happens spontaneously for no reason that I've ever heard.

Most likely being the secretary of state, the loon that decreed Trump removed from the ballot over J6.
And that ties neatly into another reason Dems must stop the weaponization fund:
They can't afford the public getting facts and truth about those prosecutions.
Plus: only the most committed Dem voters believe the official J6 narrative. Their selection of her would be a desperate admission of weakness.

At the very least, they have predictions which have been shown to be untrue. Science, then, dictates that something is wrong. I don't believe that the BBT though CAN be disproven. That makes it philosophy, or religion, and not science.

I don't disagree that they are mad and petty but they are also losing. And not by a little.
The number of establishment and non-MAGA incumbents that are being taken out is pretty remarkable including 2 incumbent Republican Senators and a couple more who are leaving before suffering the same fate.
The GOP establishment is losing power at a significant rate. Doesn't mean they can't or won't be a problem but their ability to determine all outcomes has been severly weakened. We aren't the plucky ousiders anymore. We are the captain now.

That's the thing - there's a distinction to be made between actual science, and the scientific establishment. (Perhaps the best known observation of this distinction is in a little book called "Atlas Shrugged".)
A certain amount of "science" is barely science at all. Certainly "climate science" doesn't really qualify, at least not the Global Warming theory. A lot of astronomy defies use of the scientific method. Seems to me like a lot of archeology has the same problem. It's all this junk science pushed by the scientific establishment that taints the reputation of actual real science.

Establishment power is falling aside on both sides of the aisle and being replaced by the polar opposite as was noted above. The uniparty is losing power in favor of 2 factions that are diametrically opposed to each other, MAGA and the Communists.
Bright lines are going to change some voting patterns. A lot of people might not like Trump or MAGA but they hate Communists. Some will go the other way. It's getting increasingly difficult for Democrats to pretend they are anything other than the far left anti-American party they have become.

Lately I've been trying to make sense out of Maxwell's Equations, which seem to be overcomplicated, as far as natural laws go. I have to wonder if there isn't a better way to look at it that comes up with the same result, only makes more sense, and gives additional insight.
The whole idea of a magnetic field seems artificial to me. There's no such thing as a "magnetic particle" - it's just part of what happens with electric particles.
I have to wonder if something similar could be worked out for gravity, where some additional funky thing happens with time-varying and moving matter. Maybe such an expansion of gravity would explain anti-gravity (which sounds like it might be real).
Then again, gravity was explained away by bending all of Creation around, as per Relativity. Some people still complain about that not making sense, BTW, despite what it manages to explain. Just because a theory "works" it doesn't necessarily mean it's the best and most insightful way of explaining things.

Who is in charge of the Republican Party now? MAGA. We have the Party control, the Presidency and the House. The Senate is the last holdout and we are chipping away at that rapidly. All of the energy in the Party is with us, I don't see the point in tossing that away just to rebuild and entire Party apparatus from scratch. Easier to purge he remaining establishment types.
And this isn't happening just at the national level but at the state level as well. It might not be happening as fast as we all want but building an entirely new party from scratch will take a hell of a lot longer.

Mike Pence projecting power? Only thing I can see he projects is the aura of being a cuckhold.
He was an establishment player. We knew this when Trump was elected in his first term. He was to smooth over Trump's transition into the presidency. All he did was facilitate the actual insurrection - which occurred all four years in Trump's WH.

It seems to me that it's more like MAGA vs the Globalists. The Globalists just use the Communists and Islamists as tools. The Globalists are the ones with a controlling interest in the global stores of wealth.
I suspect the Globalists are really just the same people who were behind the Nazis, back in WWII, then sold everybody on the notion that the Nazi movement was one and the same with Hitler - that it wouldn't have happened if you went back in time and killed Hitler, and that it magically went away when Hitler died (and the story of his demise just seems ludicrous to me at this point, with all that has been exposed).
Authoritarians backed by corporations, controlling governments. Practically the definition of both Nazis AND Globalists - fascists. Same bad guys, different generation. Watch "The Sum of All Fears" some time, and ask yourself why Trump is such a fan of Nassum Dorma. Fictional story; real bad guys.

We continue letting Republicans elect child molesters, but won't elect a Democrat that did something uncouth? If he was Republican, this wouldn't matter at all.
I only know about this because of New York Times. The Wordle is not enough to keep me subscribed. The last presidential election was a pretty strong indicator that people don't give a fuck about this shit.
I would vote for him if I lived in Maine given the choice between him and Collins, but honestly, can't we find better folks to run than this? It's depressing.
As long as the dirty texts weren't harassing the receiver, it's for him and his wife to deal with. Democrats aren't the party of sexual purity and shouldn't be held to higher standards by their own. His wife is okay with his apology, so we should be, too.

I read that in the book (The Stranger in the Woods) about Christopher Knight,"the last American hermit," so it was published only 9 years ago in 2017. But, it was just an aside rather than some major point in the book. As I recall the reasoning given by the author was that many Mainers (Mainites?) have a strong libertarian streak. The author also seemed to be kind of a flake, so who knows.

1) The SC said you can't execute people for non-murder crimes. But...that's procedural crap. And this SC is probably willing to overturn that
2) This is transphobic! Why? Because it will lead to a bunch of trannies getting executed because...uh...transphobia!
This could be hilarious if FL has someone convicted this summer as come election time the Dems will be arguing:

The Democrats are finding it very difficult to identify prospective candidates that meet the currently required policy positions. However, there are ways around the requirements. Jooos will get a pass on the anti-Semite requirement if they are rabidly anti-Zionist and pro-Hamas. Wealthy people will get a pass on the No Billionaires!!! requirement if they are rabidly all-in for Taxing the Rich. Along with donating big bucks to the Party.

There is so much wrong with the 'making of Graham Platner' and it seems to begin quite long ago, it's hard to imagine his immediate family shocked over any alleged new revelations. (Seriously, it - his life stories - the clarifications and interpretations - goes on and on with the man, his mother, and now his wife. Lay all of the stuff out of his alleged bio & research. It's all one big 'but then..." excuse after facts.)
It seems his wife, Amy Gertner, whom he married in 2024, alleged the sexting info to his then campaign director in the spring of 2025, and now Amy Gertner works full-time for her husband's U.S. Senate campaign as the (paid, biweekly $1,800) volunteer coordinator and schedule manager. ('Who is Graham Platner's wife? 5 things to know about Amy Gertner amid explicit texts row.' Amy Gertner, the wife of Senate hopeful Graham Platner of Maine, had previously alleged that he exchanged sexually explicit texts with other women. Published on: May 31, 2026)
Speaking of 2025, that's when the video surfaced of Graham Platner dancing to 'Wrecking Ball' donned only in his "Marine silkies" as a gift 😏 for his then former step
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 01, 2026 09:41 AM (NFX2v)
The above Surprise!! video appeared on an episode of Pod Save America on X - very much former Pres. Obama's supporting group) Oct. 2025 - after Platner's campaign did opposition research & gave the podcast the video. (Getting out in front of it, obviously.) And, according to the information provided by Platner during the podcast, the Jewish couple's wedding would have been in 2015.
Now his tattoo. Allegedly, done 2007 in Croatia. Who knows? He had also joined the Maryland Army National Guard in 2009 & did a tour in Afghanistan 2010 to 2011. However, the U.S. military then & now does not treat the Totenkopf as standard; it explicitly screens for & bans it as a hate symbol.
Perhaps he concealed it from his later US military service with the Maryland National Guard, which would have included fitness exams, or got it afterwards.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 01, 2026 09:41 AM (NFX2v)
But somehow the video appeared 2025 and his campaign moved to get out in front of it AND he had the tattoo 'covered' with more ink.
Disability: He filed for Maine's 100% disabled veteran property tax exemption for the first time in 2021, so his 100% VA disability ("herniated discs, bad knees, shoulder damage, PTSD") would have been finalized by then.
The issue is, does Platner's rating fall under Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU)? TDIU is awarded when the VA decides a veteran's injuries prevent them from holding standard, gainful employment. While generally prohibited from gainful employment, recipients may work in 'marginal' jobs, earning below federal poverty threshold or w/i protected environments. Platner will not say if his VA rating has been based on TDIU or not.
There more, so much more. But, nowadays, will it matter?
Good Day 🤗

Take a drive through Portland or South Portland on any given day - count the number of "Trump is Hitler!" and "MAGA is a terrorist group!" signs and tell me that Platner isn't a good fit for Maine.
I'm surrounded by bonafide lunatics. If it weren't for my little pocket of sanity in my neighborhood, I'd be absolutely going nuts. Every Saturday and Sunday I have to drive past a gaggle of idiots on the sidewalk "ICE is murdering us!" signs held by what amounts to the faculty lounge of Harvard.
Of course, I make sure they inhale plenty of unburnt diesel fumes and listen to Ice Ice Baby as loud as my stereo can blast it, but still, they're f*cking everywhere here.

It's "triggering" because it points out sin.
People don't want to give it up. None of us are ever totally able to do so, though some seem to think they have.
When God asks me about mine all I'm going to be able to do is point to what my Lord and Saviour did for me with His death, burial and resurrection.
What can wash away my sin?

Penny, with no last name (LOL).
I liked the first several seasons, but got tired of it after a while. It became a soap opera about Penny and Leonard's unlikely relationship, and basically the corruption of Sheldon. It was funny, because at some point I realized it wasn't a Romeo and Juliet romance about Penny and Leonard being from different worlds, but was primarily about Sheldon, who is cast as something of a real-life superhero.
As far as exploring the world of high-IQ people though, I found the show "Scorpion" to be much more inciteful. It's funny to see how some of the episodes predicted real-life, to an amazing extent. An episode where bats are described as "virus sacks" that spread diseases to humans (years before COVID). An episode where drugs are being imported using drones, and the drones are taken out with microwaves (years before Ukraine).

I guess it depends. With the Fabian Socialists, they're trying to take down the system overwhelming the system with social spending. They wouldn't want you dead, because the rampant government overspending is BY DESIGN, and works towards their goal.
But the real fight is with the Globalists, and they want de-population (among other things). So you can tell which is running Canada right now - a card-carrying WEF Globalist.

They know what he is. BBC, Maine Senate candidate apologises for tattoo that resembles Nazi symbol
22 October 2025
In part, "Platner's former political director, Genevieve McDonald, who resigned from his campaign last week, called the tattoo antisemitic.
"Maybe he didn't know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means," she said, according to US media reports." (And then in steps the new wife & likely his mom yet again.)
The ruling class millionaires desperately want the return of their USAID & diplomatic money to play with & for political control vs. the U.S.' military spending.
"Senator Bernie Sanders, one of Platner's most prominent supporters, defended him on Tuesday, saying the tattoo was chosen while he was inebriated."
That's the virtuous Bernie Sanders.
Happening in PA, too. Formerly respectable democrats are being voted out of office for a much different species.

Daily Tech News 1 June 2026
Top Story
- AMD has announced two new old CPUs that are on the one hand somewhat overpriced and underwhelming and on the other hand eagerly awaited by hobbyists. (Tom's Hardware)
The first is the Ryzen 5800X3D priced at $349. This first appeared in 2022 priced at $449, but was taken off the market in 2024 because it competed a little too well with the newer 7800X3D.
The second is the Ryzen 7700X3D, priced at $329. This is a 7800X3D, just 10% slower.
If you happen to have an unused AM4 motherboard and 64GB of DDR4 RAM sitting idle, the 5800X3D may be just what you need. Otherwise you're probably be better off with the newer, faster 7700X3D.
- AMD has also updated its roadmap to confirm that the AM5 platform (the current generation) will remain current through at least 2029. (Tom's Hardware)
The previous AM4 platform - home to the once and future 5800X3D - was introduced in 2016, and is still viable today.
Tech News
- AMD also announced global availability of its 9070 GRE, previously a China-only edition. (Tom's Hardware)
This is essentially 75% of the company's flagship graphics card, the 9070 XT, trimmed from 64 cores and 16GB of RAM to 48 cores and 12GB of RAM.
The only problem is the MSRP was reduced from $599 to $549, which makes it rather the opposite of a good deal.
- Nvidia is announcing - oh, wait, it just went official - its RTX Spark laptop chip. (Tom's Hardware)
This offers up to 20 Arm CPU cores, coupled with up to 128GB of RAM and an up to RTX 5070-class integrated GPU.
This is the same chip used in Nvidia's DGX Spark AI desktop, which retails for $4699, so don't expect the laptop version to be cheap.
- Speaking of cheap laptops, Dell's new XPS 13 starts at $699 ($599 for students). (Liliputing)
It uses Intel's low-end Wildcat Lake CPU, but one of the better ones with actually quite acceptable performance. And unlike many competing models it has a screen on par with Apple's MacBook Neo, a 2560x1600 IPS panel covering 100% of DCI-P3 colour and a variable refresh rate from 30 to 120Hz, at a healthy 500 nits brightness.
Basic model has 8GB of RAM (soldered) and 512GB of SSD. I/O consists of two USB-C ports and... That's it, really. Doesn't have the Four Essential Keys either.
- What does have the Four Essential Keys is Lenovo's new Thinkpad T14 Gen 7. (Notebook Check)
It comes with a 6 or 8 core Ryzen processor with Radeon 840M or 860M graphics respectively - good if not great - the aforementioned keys which while not in my preferred layout are all present and unshared, and expandable memory and storage.
And a 2880x1800 OLED display... With 500 nits brightness and a variable refresh rate from 30 to 128Hz.
(A word of caution with these OLED panels: They look amazing but burn-in is real.)
- Download all the computers. (Virtual OS Museum)
Ever wanted to see what the old days of computing were like - as early as 1948?
Want to play with that Apple II or BBC Micro your parents couldn't afford?
Or just want to play with a Lisp or Smalltalk workstation?
It's all here. 179GB of it.
- Wikipedia editors are threatening a global strike where they'll stop airbrushing history. (The Register)
Oh no.

Then we stopped in at a church. The services were held in a school building . I could hear people getting choked up including the pastor. It was apparently their last service. Too many people in leadership had moved away, or died or disagreed with what he preached. He was a very good preacher. His church is paying for him for a sabbatical for a year which I think is very kind of them.

Within minutes of doing the initial set up creating an Apple account failed spectacularly and made it impossible to proceed. An hour later, me and AI Girl Boss support tech are besties and are going out and getting hammered next Friday. That AI system is amazing.
The hardware is topnotch. The software fit and finish is on another level. The speakers compared to my Surface Pro are pathetic. The Mac keyboard is a mind blow.
Coming directly out of Windows with zero prep I discovered MacOs is f'ing annoying with some regularity. Not having a touch screen is f'ing annoying. I also discovered that significant parts of my Windows setup on MacOs is DOA and there is no easy way to fix that - this may be a deal breaker - having both platforms in my life for the foreseeable future likely means maintaining two versions of that setup.

As for the rest of my computing stack - it is all there and it works great - I am sort of shocked I made it that far. Along long the way I got pretty deep into the settings and configuration, far more than I should been able to on day 1.

The delta between my Windows universe and the MacOS universe on the other hand is a problem. I am going to do some deep research tomorrow on how I might get them stop sticking there tongues out at each other. If I can get that to stop the box stays. If not it is going back. Bummer.
And if it does go back, the Qualcomm X2s will be hear in a few months and should make for some snappy Windows on Arm boxes. The big issue is there is how much they are going to cost. The Macbook Air right now is one heck of computing bargain; they are killer machines.

Good work, Clarence!
Unfortunately summer *has* arrived in Da Swamp. Yesterday was the first 90 F. day -- relatively late this year; usually it's early in May, or even late in April. 80 outside now, I don't wanna know the heat index, and I have to go work out in it. Gah.

Truth.
I use my second monitor OLED for watching video mostly.
Using productivity apps, with a lot of static elements, on that monitor scares me too much, so I avoid it.
This one is a 2025 Asus model with "OLED Care" like Pixel Cleaning (automatic & manual), Logo Dimming, and Screen Move which helps out a lot, and I haven't seen any burn-in after using it for six+ months.

You could also try a MiniLED monitor. They are IPS but they have much better contrast and deeper blacks. They are as close to OLED as you can get without worrying about burn-in and they are generally cheaper price-wise. They are also thinker and heavier than OLED screens, but around the same size as a normal IPS LED.
I tried a decent one last year but it had a dead pixel in the center of the display so I took it back and got the OLED instead. If it hadn't been for that problem I'd have probably kept it.

These have better contrast ratios than the IPS versions but they also have the same "smearing" problem that VA has with fast motion, especially in gaming.

It took Microsoft a bunch of years to get things right but their Surface PCs compete well with the MacBook Airs especially since the Qualcomm ARM CPU based boxes have come so far. The X2 CPUs are going to be milestone and should put some serious pressure on the X86 universe; best guess is the ARM boxes are going to have serious market share in about 5 years.

I think most are 8 bit + FRC.
Their are some pro versions from Asus and Dell that get true 10 bit but they are pricey, around $4000.
Might as well get a OLED at that point.
But most MiniLED can get up there to 98% DCI-P3 and 100%+ sRGB.

You note sysadmins, which connotes not home users.
To be clear, the vulnerability does affect home users' systems, but it requires a home user attacker to exploit this vulnerability.
From the TuxCare article:
The Short Version
What: A new Linux local privilege escalation called CIFSwitch chains a missing kernel-side check on cifs.spnego key descriptions with the trust that the userspace cifs.upcall helper places in those descriptions.

Oh, I'm aware this could bite a user in the arse hard if they downloaded a program with this exploit in it (a trojan horse program, basically.)
That program would then:
- Install
- Run
- Use the exploit to give itself root access
- Install whatever other malware/remote system access software it wanted to, along with whatever else the forces of darkness wanted to do to the poor user.
(There's been too many dang zero day exploits lately. *sighs*)
Anyway, the reason I mentioned sysadmins is that the fix is not exactly "user friendly". User friendly is, "Apply this patch using the software manager."
Anything that requires going to a command terminal, sudoing up to root access, and editing system config files using a text editor or command line instructions crosses the line over to system administrative type work, at least in my mind.

Murica Gargantuan American flag unfurled at iconic Western landmark to celebrate nation’s 250th birthday
A massive American flag the size of a football field has been hung from the iconic Hoover Dam in the lead-up to the nation’s 250th birthday, after desert winds briefly forced it to come down for safety. The enormous installation, measuring 300 feet wide and 150 feet tall, was first unveiled on Memorial Day as part of nationwide celebrations leading up to America’s semiquincentennial on July 4. It is set to remain in place through the Fourth of July, weather permitting.Sure to be "triggering" to leftists everywhere. Good. ----- More Murica

'Ette Couture (Courtesy of Piper) It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n. -----
Swim Week Spotlight: Premium Picks from Miami Swim Week 2026 That Actually Flatter Miami Swim Week 2026 just wrapped and the premium runway delivered exactly what I love: sculptural pieces, beautiful fabrics, and flattering designs. Designers like Ema Savahl, B.FYNE, Monday Swimwear, Melissa Odabash, Honey Birdette, and Lila Nikole brought the heat with couture-level details and actual wearability. These weren’t cheap bikinis, they were elevated, confident-making pieces with gorgeous embellishments, flowing overlays, and thoughtful cuts.
What Stood Out on the Runway
• Dramatic cut-outs and hand-embellished details (Ema Savahl’s signature drama)
• Textured crinkle fabrics and sculptural one-pieces (Monday Swimwear vibes)
• Curve-celebrating luxury with real coverage options (B.FYNE killed it)
• Resort-ready pieces that look glamorous Flattering Styles + Brand Recommendations Hourglass Figures (balanced curves with a defined waist):
You want plunge necks, tie details, and high-waisted bottoms that highlight without hiding. Go-to Picks: Ema Savahl for show-stopping embellished sets and Monday Swimwear for supportive, textured styles that feel luxe and stay put.
Ema Savahl Seaglass Croc One Piece
Monday Swimwear MONTEGO ONE PIECE - MIDNIGHT CRINKLE

Go-to Premium Picks: B.FYNE for empowering curve-forward luxury and Monday Swimwear for inclusive sizing done right.
B.FYNE Denko Suit
Practical Tips
• Invest in quality fabrics that hold their shape (Monday and Ema Savahl excel here).
• Mix-and-match separates whenever possible for the perfect custom fit.
• Always check sizing guides or try in-store if you can—premium swimwear rewards proper fit.
• Look for pieces you can layer with a great cover-up or sarong for resort versatility. Swim Week reminded me that the best swimwear makes you feel confident, strong, and beautiful. These premium brands get that. If you’re shopping for summer, start with one standout piece that makes you excited to hit the pool or beach. ----- Wow - thanks, Piper! Those are the types of models we need to see more of! I think the Colombian goddess says it best. Don't forget to check out Piper's X page.
Geddy, Alex, Anika Nilles, and Loren Gold (sonicperspectives.com)
Rush will kick off their much-anticipated Fifty Something reunion tour on June 7 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. This marks their first time touring in 11 years. Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee will perform alongside drummer Anika Nilles, and the run makes this their first tour since longtime drummer Neil Peart died in 2020. The tour spans the globe, and dates run into April 2027. Nilles played with the band at the Juno Awards, and that gig served as a soft launch for their comeback.I already have tickets for Philly in August and DC in October. Who else has tickets? And who wants to put me up for a night or 2 if they're playing in your neck of the woods? ----- Deadhead documentary Documentary highlights new generation of Deadheads
Jerry Pierce and Annie Dunn, a hippie couple who are the focus of a new Deadhead documentary, “Summer Tour,” weren’t even born when Jerry Garcia died in 1995. That makes them prototypical examples of a young generation of Deadheads who never went to a Grateful Dead show. But they did the next best thing, following Dead & Company, the band formed by original Grateful Dead guitarist and singer Bobby Weir, on its last tour in 2023. Director Mischa Richter tags along as the couple roams America in their old van, traveling from show to show and city to city with a wandering community of fellow Deadheads. Living in voluntary poverty, they are portrayed as looking out for each other as part of an idealistic hippie subculture of caring and sharing that has long been part of the Grateful Dead experience.I'm the farthest thing from a Deadhead, but I will check out the documentary. ----- Speaking of rock documentaries - if you're not familiar with "Heavy Metal Parking Lot", you need to fix that! 'Heavy Metal Parking Lot' Makers To Commemorate Film's 40th Anniversary With Special Screening
On May 31,1986, emerging filmmakers John Heyn and Jeff Krulik drove into the parking lot of the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland — and into pop culture history — when they caught lightning in a bottle recording amped-up JUDAS PRIEST fans before a concert. Nobody could have imagined that 40 years later the resulting short film, "Heavy Metal Parking Lot", would be frequently cited among the greatest rock documentaries ever. On May 31, 2026, 40 years to the day since this much-heralded time capsule was captured on film, in Silver Spring, Maryland will screen — for the first time ever in public — the 60 minutes of original source footage, before the edit. Audiences will experience what was recorded that afternoon, in real time, while both Jeff and John provide live commentary as history is being made. The event will also feature the resulting 16-minute "Heavy Metal Parking Lot", plus a chance to meet some of the stars.The Capital Centre (imploded many years ago) was a great place to see concerts. I saw quite a few great ones there. First time I saw Rush was there. Metallica with The Cult opening. Van Halen with Alice in Chains opening. Many more. Great memories! The documentary mentioned at the link was filmed in the parking lot before a Judas Priest show. It was allegedly a favorite of the guys in Nirvana. They are rumored to have often watched it on their tour bus.
from thisdayinmusic.com On this date in In 1982: R.E.M. signed their first label deal with I.R.S. Records. The Athens, GA band, who had recently recorded their debut EP, Chronic Town, turned down an offer from RCA, instead opting to go with the indie imprint.
On this date in 2024: American musician Ed Mann died at the age of 69. He was known for his mallet percussion performances onstage with Frank Zappa's ensemble from 1977 to 1988, and his appearances on over 30 of Zappa's albums.
Born on this date in 1948: English drummer John Bonham from Led Zeppelin -- Bonham died on September 25th 1980 aged 32 after choking on his own vomit.
Bonham had consumed maybe too much vodka?

Even if you didn't know that was Chuck Berry, you'd know that was Chuck Berry. He had a distinctive rhythm and rhyme in nearly all his tunes. Even when others covered them, like Elvis with "Promised Land," that rhythm came across.
He was also a pretty sharp lyricist. His imagery in "Nadine" --
"I was pushin' through the crowd, tryin' to get to where she's at/ I was campaign shoutin' like a Southern diplomat"
and
"Movin' through the crowd like a mounted cavalier/ Leanin' out the taxi window, tryin' to make her hear"
-- is distinctive too.

Thank you Doof and Piper
A question for those a little over 29. Do you remember when we had the bi- centennial ? It was my senior year of H. S. Does it seem like back there there was a lot more fanfare and build-up compared to this year? Wasn't there a lot more attention paid in the general culture with bicentennial-edition products, etc.?
It doesn't seem like there's much attention being paid to this milestone. Is it TDS? Something else? What?

Look on the bright side: it's more precise to say that they hate not having power. Their hatred is proportional to how much power they think they 'should' have and don't. It is easy for us to get caught up in all the power that they do have and shouldn't, since they instantly abuse it horribly; but it could be worse, and we can roughly estimate how much power they lack by the incandescence of their hate!

From a car, no. There are pretty big barriers cutting off the view of the dam from the bridge. It's an antiterrorism measure. Somebody wargamed it and determined that a van with the side doors open could put a good sized rocket into the dam. As a side benefit, it keeps crashes down caused by rubbernecking. The average speed across that bridge is about 70.
However, there are parking lots where you can walk to places with a good view of the dam.

I'm getting confused over all the possible Latin words for 250 years.
Semiquincentennial meaning of half of five is straightforward. Then there's sestercentennial, with "sester" meaning 2 1/2.
But then another possibility is "bisesquicentennial". Now, bi- means 2. But sesqui means 1 1/2 (I think).

Then the afternoon came with the news from Entebbe. We were at the IDF's navy ships. I think there were 2. 1000s of euphoric people dancing and singing on and on and on. Went home to watch CBS News. Cronkite couldn't stop talking about it.
That night, I boarded my scheduled El Al flight to Israel, to join my friends for summer vacation and then start a year of studies. I stayed instead for 2 and a half years. After that, I knew I would wind up here eventually for the rest of my life. And so it is.

Highway Patrol! This week's episode: Car Theft!
Space Master X7! Way better than Space Master X6!
We have had some great cigar reviews here on the Weasel's thread and I for one certainly appreciate them. I have discovered some great new sticks and I hope that some of my reviews have assisted others. And this brings me to my subject of the day. If you bother to check your credit card statement, you may discover the spending on cigars can, at times, be...ahhh...pricey. In order to protect these investments, it is necessary to store the news treasures properly. So, let's talk about humidors. Buying a humidor requires balancing your collection size with storage conditions. Most vendors recommend purchasing a humidor capable of holding 20-30% more cigars than you currently own. This helps to ensure proper airflow. I just keep mine about 1/2 full and it works just fine. Standard wooden desktop options start around $150 to $300, but you can find some that are cheaper. Serious shoppers prepare for sticker shock. I've seen them as high as $5k. Yikes! You can also find electric/cabinet humidors and that regulate temperature and humidity and are good for greater numbers of cigars. These aren't for me as I typically buy just enough to enjoy over a few months, so I don't need something that fancy. Here are some things to keep in mind when considering a humidor: --Assuming you go for a wooden humidor, one thing you want to have is Spanish Cedar Lining. Any cedar will do, but this is the gold standard, and the wood is perfect for absorbing and releasing moisture. --Use a Digital Hygrometer, not the analog (needle) version. The analog hygrometers are notorious for being inaccurate and I have found this to be true in each one I have owned. To track the temperature, just throw in a small thermometer. I keep my humidor at about 70% humidity and room temperature year-round. --Ensure the humidor has a good seal. A weak seal will dry out your cigars. An easy way to check a wooden humidor is to do the dollar bill test. Close the lid on a dollar bill. If you can pull it out easily, the seal is too loose. --If you purchase a wooden humidor you will want to season it before stocking it with your favorite smokes. Wipe the interior with distilled water, or use a high-RH Boveda pack. This prevents the wood from stealing the moisture from the cigars. Lastly I clean mine once a year. Depending on where you live, mold could be a problem over time. Cleaning is simple and a great way to keep your cigars ready to enjoy. The picture shows the three that I use frequently. The box is a typical office/desk style humidor. The travel case is handy, and this one is from Thompson Cigars. The small "single cigar" carrier is for the golf course. Pro Tip: DO NOT put this one in your carry-on bag if you fly. The TSA guys enjoy watching you drink the contents from the screw top side. ;-) I hope this has been helpful. Enjoy.Excellent, Diogenes! Thank you!

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

And humidorz!
Thanks Diogenes, great humidor info.
I think about upgrading to a thermo-lectric humidor, but my situation is similar to yours. Storage mostly for near-term consumption, not doing any aging.
But I’ve opted for the “tupperdor” solution so far. High quality airtight plastic containers with Spanish cedar trays and blocks, Boveda humidity packs. Several different size containers. Cheap, adaptable, works perfectly.
Use 69% RH packs, experimenting in one tupperdor with 65%. Lots of guys and some industry types say often more flavor @65%.

As usual climate considerations here are minimal, so that helps. I usually “dry box” a stick overnight before burning it to dry it just a bit below the 70ish% storage RH.
I haven’t bought a Boveda pack in years. Recharging them is easy. Friend of mine knows the Boveda owner but I haven’t shared my recharge tip with the friend yet. He’s loaded so wouldn’t bother with it anyway.

Humidifier sticks: I use ones I got from Amazon, which look like large test tubes. They come pre-loaded with PG crystals and you add distilled water to activate, then top off with water as needed. They have to stand upright, overwise they will spill goo.

Had a very productive session at the range. I went fully expecting to rent a Kimber CDS9 Classic and then purchase one. Blster brought SRA Blaster's model so I could compare the grips. First thing: if I bought it, I would need to put a sight on it. Then pulled out my G48 with Holosun and shot all 3. Whelp, I shoot perfectly with the G48. Barrel is only maybe 3/4 in longer and everything else the same. Why spend the money for CC if the Glock works. Decided to buy a holster a try it the next session.
Maybe buy a rifle instead.🤠

Range report:
Shot really well. Trying to go faster. Like less than 1 shot per second (I know that’s slow). It’s fast for me.
I was happy with my performance.

While swa can shoot that thing like crazy with its dot, she can also shoot her G48 like crazy. I told her that should be her carry gun. Plus it has the advantage of being purple.
And so she can (as she said) spend the Kimber money on a rifle.

Posted by: blaster - Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat at May 31, 2026 08:13 PM (NlEaG)
Plus practice as CBD noted, is unpleasant even in gas guns but required more than ever if you are firing slugs because you have to learn both recoil control and recovery so you can fire another slug in timely fashion if you miss. Slugs take a noticeable time to recover and fire the next round, especially if you don't practice. Wise also to use every bit of recoil reduction (recoil absorbing stocks, mercury inserts in the butt, etc.)
For the most part, leave them to hunters and stick with buckshot. 00, 1, or even 4 are good enough for self defense against humans if they aren't wearing body armor or some such. 2 3/4 length shells are just fine too, you get a lot more recoil versus marginally improved stopping power if you go up to 3 or 3.5 inch length 12 gauge shells.
Xtra length is mainly for hunters outdoors because shotgun shell velocities drop quicker than rifle bullets.

Shotgun suppressors drop noise about 20-25 db--from the 160's down to mebbe 140's. Still need muffs at that.

Picked up a cheap 16 bottle wine cooler from Home Despot. Three of those little humidors fit in it quite nicely. Bottom shelf has a wooden cigar box (too tight for the Thompson humidor).
The top temperature setting for the wine cooler is 65. For reds, I guess. Digital humidistat shows it holds 65-70% humidity and 65-70 degrees pretty well.
I think the wine cooler was like $50. Glass front, light, looks very classy on my work bench.

- If I need more than 5 or 6 rounds I'm screwed anyway. An extra 10 rounds won't help much.
- No failures to eject or stove pipes or worry about limp wristing if you get distracted when things go sideways. Pull the trigger on a revolver and it goes bang.
- If you can learn to use a DA revolver trigger, you can shoot anything.
From a handloading point of view:
- It's easier to load cartridges that space on a rim than on the case mouth that calls for a careful taper crimp.
- No concerns about having enough power to cycle the action. If the bullet clears the muzzle you're good for the next shot. And a lighter load may offer easier and faster shooting while still being lethal.
- Bullet shape doesn't matter since there is no feed ramp to consider.
Not that I have an opinion or anything.

The only 'trick' with it that I have is I consolidate the cigars into two or three boxes every now and then and introduce new cigars into the empty box. Keeps the possibly dry(er) new cigars from sucking moisture from the ones that have rested for a bit.
I rarely have any of the flavored cigars (herbal or coffee) so they don't seem to mind commingling a bit.

I'm primarily a pipe smoker, as JTB and other pipers here know. But I have tried some of the small cigars or cigarillos from Romeo y Julieta. Real cigar whizzes would probably laugh. But they are good for a quick smoke when you don't have a lot of time. And, if you so decide, you can break up one of the little sticks into a pipe blend, such as an English with latakia, to give it a bit more strength. There are pipe blends available that feature cigar leaf as an ingredient, after all.
I cannot imagine smoking a real, full-size cigar. Especially not at the prices for a whole box now -- or even for a single cigar.

Whig's not kidding. I purchased a P7 PSP (German police surplus) a few years back, liked shooting in, and immediately began looking for extra magazines. Pretty much any P7 magazine variant is super scarce and expensive IF you can even find them. I ended up buying another P7 PSP for $3k off of Gunbroker because it came with four magazines. This price was only a bit more than what it would have cost to buy the magazines alone.

Bottom of the wine cooler I put a couple of the cheap humidifier sticks. I put those in wet... could use a wet sponge for the same effect. The humistat stays fairly constant. If it drops you can bet the sticks got dry.
In the small humidors I have the sticks (moist, not wet) and a Boveda type pack. I noticed that the Boveda packs swell or shrink. If I put a wet stick in there the packs seem to absorb the moisture. I don't like that so only put moist sticks in and then the packs don't seem to grow or shrink much. I look at it the packs are a humidity buffer.
Also, I'm using only distilled water.

If each bowl of pipe tobacco I smoke ran $3.00, I'd be horrified. A 1.75 oz. tin of pipe weed runs about $15-20, and it takes quite a few bowls to empty it depending on the size of your pipes. There is also bulk tobacco available that runs between $5-6 an ounce.

I rise in dispute.
I won't argue handloading, there you are very likely correct. Revolvers, not having a slide and recoil spring to worry about, or feed ramps, have more latitude available. I'd stick to Rugers though unless you are very good at loading to SAMI guide.
That said, they are inferior to automatics except in narrow exceptions. Recoil is greater out of revolver. Bulk is greater. Capacity is lower. Reloads are slower. You can talk about settling problems with 6 rounds or less but considering that we are training for what is likely an unusual scenario to begin with, best to be ready for the worst case, not best case. Trigger pull is usually worse, unless thumb-cocking, which means accuracy is worse and that's a problem.
A revolver is better than nothing. It is also lethal. But automatics are better.

3d printed Glock 19. Near as I can tell from the law, this is not grandfathered and not legal AT ALL in Virginia after July 1.
Four AR-15s. Legal to own. Not legal to have "on or about one's person" in any place "open to the public." They say this is meant to be anti-open carry. Read the words.
PSA Dagger with a threaded barrel. That makes it, under the law, an "assault firearm." (their term) And that makes it subject to the on or about one's person law.

Uberti is probably the best known and most widely available producer of Colt SAA clones. Go with a clone if you want to shoot an SAA a lot. But there's nothing wrong with paying extra to get an actual modern production Colt either. Just that the Uberti's are a lot cheaper if you want to shoot it a lot.

Specialty load. Hard enough to find #1 buck shot. Midway has some Fiochi in that. But looking up buckshot, apparently Federal makes a low recoil 1/3/4 inch shotshell with 00 buck designed to fragment. Probably a pump gun only load but interesting none the less.
"Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition is designed just for personal protection. Turn your shotgun into the ultimate defensive platform with Force X2 from Federal Premium. Its copper-plated 00 FX2 buckshot pellets are specially engineered to split into two equal-size pieces on impact. This creates twice as many wound channels, improves the transfer of energy from the payload to the target, and minimizes the potential for over-penetration, reducing the risk to bystanders. Force X2 is also loaded for more manageable recoil, allowing the shooter to stay on target for faster follow-ups and better accuracy in a self-defense situation."

Get one with a transfer bar safety. Dealing with the SAA without one requires substantial practice in loading, and firing. A Blackhawk or a Vacquero if you want fancy from Ruger are more versatile and better built firearms while greatly resembling the SAA at a close look.
If you want an understudy in 22 LR, you can get the Double Nine used High Standard which is a double action that looks to be single. Ruger and others like Heritage make some true Single Action 22 LRs that are fun enough to handle and shoot.
Unless you have a particularly hankering for 45 Colt, I suggest getting a 38 Special/357 Magnum version of the SAA real or clone. Much cheaper to shoot and far easier to obtain ammo unless you look to get into reloading.

Back in the '80s I had a Ruger Single-Six, the model that could shoot .22 LR, .22 short, and with a swap of cylinder, the .22 Magnum round. Grand gun; I'm sorry I sold it.
Yes, a .38/.357 or 9mm SAA would be much more sensible for target practice. I love the look of the gun (hey, I grew up on TV Westerns), but I'm not determined to have an actual Colt or to have it in .45.

Eternal argument. Personally, if you don't spend time training or maintaining firearms, get a revolver just for self defense. Semi automatics require more care as do their ammo and magazines plus you have to be prepared to handle malfunctions. Revolvers, if they have a substantial malfunction not related to ammo, then you throw it at the critter and run. Kind of like a jammed shotgun in that respect.
But if one gets a firearm and shoves it in a drawer for a couple of years with no training, you are more likely to be able to fire it successfully at bad breath range even you have green verdigris on the cases.
And on the other hand, if one is hunting, revolvers again are better than semi autos--more accurate at a distance, even an old K Frame with a lot of years will outshoot all but match semi automatics, and for the most part, if you truly want to bring down dinosaurs (or grizzlies), only a revolver will do it. For a grizzly bear, even a 10mm begins to look puny.
For people with a modicum of practice, responsible enough maintain it. then semi auto for sure.

Not a fan of Capstick for the obvious reasons but others have claimed virtues for the #1 and you get a few more pellets than reduced 00 buckshot (usually 9). Not that many load it anymore except at hunting season though.
But, of all the shotshell loadings, buck shot and slug loads are some of the easiest to do and where you get some of the best cost savings from.
Posted by: whig at May 31, 2026 09:34 PM (E4rtv)
MAE,
Most of your points are correct and I considered them when I decided on a revolver for protection. I don't find revolver recoil greater than a comparable power semi. I don't feel a double stack semi is much less bulky than a snubby revolver, at least not for pocket carry. I compromised by planning for the more likely scenario, not the worst case, aware it was a compromise.
A real consideration was Mrs. JTB. She is small and lacks hand strength and neither of us is getting younger. Racking a slide can be a problem. I know there are techniques to compensate but they add another level of complexity in a stressful situation. She can handle a DA trigger much easier and is more comfortable with that setup. Also, semi recoil has more muzzle flip than most revolvers and that gives her more trouble.

45 Ammo is obscenely priced. Last time I checked, about 1 buck per round for a box of 50 if you could find it. Well worth reloading and not hard to do whenever we don't have some crisis going on. Single six is a good gun but prices have really went up. Ruger came out with a cheaper made single action 22 LR to compete with Heritage (Taurus owns them now).
The old Double 9 from High Standard dates from the late 50's to early 70's or so. Looks like an old cowboy SAA but really a double action with some neat features like recessed and chamfered cylinders so the case rims are fully surrounded. They also have a notch in the cylinder so you can dry fire them sparingly without that much worry.

On any old semi auto, usually worthwhile to replace all the springs including magazines. Wolff springs makes the mag springs (and recoil springs for the P7) and they are surprisingly affordable. About 20 bucks per three and less for a single mag spring. gunsprings dot com Great folks to work with and everyone sells their springs too but easiest to go less popular models from the Wolff online store.

Some of the small H&R 32 Magnum or even the 327 Magnums hold seven cartridges. And you can shoot 32 S&W Long out of them as well as 32 H&R Magnum. The 327 Magnum shoots all of them including the 327 but is a bit much for most people.
Given what you mentioned for widest applicability, perhaps a 3 inch barrel and and 38 Special with 148 gr wadcutters or if you can find it, some reduced recoil Hornady self defense ammo or the old 125gr Federal Nyclad Hollow points (now probably gone except from gun shows). The latter is another low recoil self defense load and I think Federal may have a newer version of it in polymer coated lead hollowpoints.

Chores this week: A rep from Bekins Van Lines is coming over Tues. to assess my furniture to estimate my cost for the move to Indiana; Wed. I'm going to the eyeglass shop to see about getting glasses for driving. The home inspection report should be in by Friday or Saturday, and then I have to see what insurance will cost me.
Now I'm more tired than I was when I started that paragraph!

I agree. The carry and house guns are 357 DA revolvers loaded with 38 special. Mrs. JTB is comfortable and accurate with them. Unfortunately, my 32 magnums are Ruger single actions, not DA. I love 32 Long as a reloadable target round.

Food Thread:The Unbearable Lightness Of Good Dough
The UK is beyond help, except...Brit kids taste American Barbecue for the first time. They all seem like normal kids who can be convinced of the superiority of American cooking and the importance of having pork in one's diet! Not to mention the innate sense of freedom that smoking meat imparts!
This is one of a series of cooking videos from the folks at Fallow, an excellent restaurant in London. Most of their videos are excellent (check farther down the post) and well worth a watch, especially if you like to cook. Here is a Ragu Recipe that is a bit different, but it is impressively loaded with layers and layers of flavor. I'll even forgive them the browning of the meat, although Marcella Hazan would be rolling over in her grave if she saw that.
Yeah...and you wonder why I bang on the Chinese for being a disgusting food culture and source?
中国。ほんとに怖い。中国のある海鮮市場の労働者が、出荷前の魚の体に、紅麹紅溶液（紅殻虫紅染料）とホルムアルデヒドを混合した製剤を塗布している。 この処理方法は、古くなった魚を色鮮やかで新鮮に見せることを目的としている。pic.twitter.com/MtgFL8pFLg

China. It's truly frightening. Workers at a seafood market in China are applying a preparation made by mixing red yeast rice red solution (cochineal red dye) and formaldehyde onto the bodies of fish before shipment. This treatment method is intended to make old fish appear colorful and fresh.
Misanthropic Humanitarian sent me this recipe for Husband's Braised Meatballs, and it's a pretty solid one. But he misrepresented it as "Husband's Braised Balls," which is an entirely different thing, and much funnier.
More from the fellows at Fallow!

The garlic is doing well! For now. It was 42 degrees this morning, and I am unsure how well garlic will tolerate that. I know all of you are worried, but it is still tall and green and healthy! And if they survive the deer and squirrel apocalypse, and actually grow into something edible, I will be in garlic heaven! In case it doesn't, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

1. Jimmy Dean has changed THEIR recipe. The sausage doesn't make near enough grease. Nor is it salty. Had to add lard to make gravy.
2. Stepped outside of my comfort zone and made biscuits and sausage gravy. (My wife made killer sausage gravy. I never had to)

I'm a little concerned about ChatGPT recipes. I'm trying to use up things in the pantry, so I told it what-all I had on hand and that I wanted to make a chocolate cake. Just for the heck of it, I included vanilla pudding mix and mayonnaise. It gave me a recipe that included both of those. I'm afraid that if I'd included jalapeno peppers and mustard, it would have included those, too.
The cake turned out great, by the way.

Youth group tonight is getting chocolate marshmallow cake mix cookies and a fruit tray.
Dinner here is light b/c boys and parents went to the end of year homeschool BBQ - I didn't eat (I helped run it), but they did. And they made up for lost time. And 2nd is coming in from an international flight.
So, I took a boneless pork butt and slow cooked it with just salt and shredded it (it's why I'm late). Today, it's just getting BBQ sauce on a bun, classic homemade coleslaw, and fruit salad. I'm sure I'll have a ton of prok leftover (when I planned this, I didn't think my boys were gonna, well, partake as much this afternoon). So, it's going into a new dish tomorrow that I'll let the new arrival pick (I'm leaning pork carnitas, but she may decide otherwise) - thus, why it's plain with added brown bottle sauce (which also is good for traveling tummies - she may not sauce, or eat much at all)...

They travel around the US trying all different kinds of food, and frequently do videos at this school to try things on Brit kids, like American pies, Halloween candy, fast food, Thanksgiving dinner, etc.
They also will try things on one of their dads, and did biscuits and gravy with both dad and the schoolkids, which was pretty funny, as Brits have a very different idea of both--they come in very skeptical, imagining cookies with brown sauce.

When mixing her dough, she put in the butter late in the process. AND, she didn't use cold shaved butter. As a result, the butter didn't melt evenly, creating steam. Her finished product was not puffy, flakey. It was a hard lump of garbage which she had no problem whining about. Thankfully, the comments were filled with Texans laying into her stupidity and lack of knowledge. Actually, her video was cringy. The comments were gold. Lots of "Bless her heart" which she had no idea was an insult.

One thing that needs to be said about copper pans is that the copper can't just be a decorative, microns thick coating on the outside. Such a coating would be useless in accelerating heat dissipation. According to the interwebs, quality copper pans have > 1.5 mm thick copper, with 2-3 mm being the sweet spot. There's another interior layer of other metal, usually stainless steel, because copper reacts with acidic foods. Regardless, they're way to expensive for me.

We're coming up my favorite season...sweet corn season. I make corn fritters (but not the standard crusty ones). I use a pancake recipe and mix in fresh sweet corn. Essentially, they look just like a regular pancake with kernels throughout. It gives it a nice sweetness to work against salted butter. You don't need maple syrup unless you want it.

That's a useful tip. I saw a vid by Kent Rollins where he said that he doesn't keep a starter longer than a week. So I guess that means you would always have two in progress -- one getting started and one ready to use. Problem for me is that we won't bake every day. Maybe twice a week at most.

1-½ tbsp red wine vinegar
1 cup thinly-sliced celery
¼ tsp dry mustard
1/3 tsp chives
1/3 tsp tarragon
1/3 tsp parsley
1 tsp fennel
salt and pepper
Serve with (or fill) lettuce leaves with it, or use it as the base of a salad, such as with black beans or cannellini beans.

Got a pork shoulder on sale, and it's in the fridge with a rub, to go in the crockpot tomorrow, so made my slaw and stuff to chill.
I have a Swedish potato salad recipe from my MIL that I love, potato, pickled beet, onion, parsley and chive in a plain oil/vinegar/salt/pepper dressing.
I'm trying to curb the carbs a bit, and I love pickled cauliflower, so I thought I'd sub in that for the potatoes.
Roasted the florets, with olive oil/salt/pepper, didn't crowd, let it cool completely, got some nice char, ended up with bite-sized pieces with about the same al dente as I like my salad potatoes.
It tastes good, but the cauliflower is putting out some moisture that's diluting the sweet/salty tang of the overall salad.
Wondering next time should I just blanch the cauliflower lightly to reduce that weeping once mixed?
Be a bit more like pickled, probably, and I don't mind some crunch.
Advice welcome!

Not sure it's your cauliflower weeping vs not having potatoes which actually absorb some liquid (whether hot, when they do more, or cold). You may need to reduce the overall liquid in the recipe (if you don't want to add carbs) to get a better liquid ratio.

I roast cauliflower at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes before I use it in my world famous gratin, just to get rid of excess moisture.
But for pickling I wonder whether using raw might not be a better choice?

The flavor tastes diluted, like an addition of water, almost, which surprised me a bit, even though I didn't expect the absorption common to the potato version.

I bought some Jimmy Dean on sale a few months ago, and I'm sure you're right. Owens is far superior and slightly less in price. One of JD rolls is still in the freezer. I've bypassed it for Owens for months now.

You can always make an herb salad...best ones have 3-5 herbs, so you've got 2 good ones already. You eat this without any lettuce needed.
Posted by: Nova Local at May 31, 2026 05:39 PM (tOcjL)
You can use them for snacks, too. Just wrap some goat cheese softened with cream, and flavored with salt and pepper; and toasted pine nuts (or any soft cheese, salted almonds, or whatever) with a basil leaf. Maybe with some chopped tomato added.
Won’t use up much, but it is very tasty.
And if you really like basil, you can make basil jelly.
1 cup tightly-packed basil leaves
6-½ cups sugar
1 cup vinegar
2 cups water
6 oz liquid fruit pectin
Bring everything except pectin to a full rolling boil, and boil hard for a minute, stirring constantly. Remove basil. Pour into hot sterilized jars and seal. You’ll get three to four pints of basil jelly. For the full effect, add a few drops of food coloring to the boiling mix.
But really, is it possible to have too much pesto?

Nay....Nay I say. It was genius. It was identifying a problem, and taking positive steps to resolve the situation.

So the condition the ticks cause was identified in 2002, and likely the first cases were found in the 1980s by reviewing medical records.
Now unlike say Lyme disease, this isn't something that can be subtle. You could eat meat before...now you can't without a severe allergic reaction. So that means the disease emerged in the 1980s.
So...how? This is caused by tick saliva. Did the ticks evolve to have this? If so, what environmental pressure did this help them solve because based on the spread it must be something significant right? And there seems to be zero interest in how it came about.

Posted by: Aetius451AD
One l. Alpha Gal.
Alpha-gal syndrome is a type of food allergy. It can happen after a tick bite. The allergy is to red meat and other products that come from mammals. Alpha-gal syndrome can be life-threatening.
In the United States, the condition most often begins with the bite of the lone star tick. Other types of ticks cause the condition in different parts of the world, mainly in parts of Europe, Australia, Asia, South Africa, and South and Central America.
Alpha-gal syndrome causes mild to intense allergies to red meat, such as beef, pork or lamb. It also can cause reactions to other foods that come from mammals, such as dairy products or gelatin.

There was nothing relative to Lone Star ticks, BUT there were a crap load of conspiracy theories that certain governments were experimenting with ways to limit red meat consumption due to "climate change methane issues".
In the past I would have rolled my eyes and moved on. Sadly, now it's hard not to be a cynic, and much more difficult to discount what used to seem outlandish. I truly could see a UN based effort to incorporate such an underhand plan...right square in the middle of beef country.

Eugenio Monesma's Lost Trades series has a video on itinerant Spanish knife sharpeners. The last incarnation of them didn't use a cart, they used a specially modified bicycle that the could convert to run the bike-mounted grind stone. It was considered a great improvement since the knife grinders could travel greater distances.

Neither the U.S. federal government nor any state government mandates or provides paid leave specifically for menstruation.
Representative Yassamin Ansari introduced the Health, Equity, and Rights (HER) Agenda, which includes proposed legislation to federally mandate up to 12 days of paid reproductive health leave (covering period pain, endometriosis, and IVF). However, this has not been enacted into law.

Yes, Our Elections Are Dirty, But How Exactly Does It Happen?
Obviously the most secure election system is same-day voting in person, with paper ballots and mandatory ID checks against a master list that is reviewed every year, and purged of all names not of United States citizens.
Judicial Watch Scrutinizes 873,000 Inactive Voter Registrations in CaliforniaWatchdog group Judicial Watch says it has identified almost a million voter registrations in California that have been inactive for at least three federal election cycles, and argues they must be removed to ensure potential cheaters cannot use the names on faked ballots.There are other security demands for a voting system that is secure against manipulation, because there are very clever people working tirelessly to subvert the will of the American voter. As much as it is tempting to blame the voter rolls for the bulk of the fraud, a glance at the vote totals from the 2020 presidential election will disabuse one of the notion that the main issue is illegals voting, or nefarious characters voting multiple times. Democratic presidential popular vote totals: 2016: 65,788,564
[...]
Fitton said, “326,608 names have remained continuously inactive for at least three consecutive federal general elections. That means the person hasn't voted or otherwise communicated with the state or the county voting officials for … six years. At least 151,202 registrants have been enactive [sic] for four federal elections. That's over eight years.” And finally, “33,922 inactive voters have been around just hanging on the rolls for 10 plus years. You know, and you can see why we do this in the back here. Look at that quote. ‘Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections.’ And that's the key issue here.”[bolding mine]
2020: 81,283,501
2024: 75,019,682 Republican presidential popular vote totals: 2016: 62,984,828
2020: 74,223,975
2024: 77,303,568 The Democrat vote increased by 23.6% between 2016 and 2020, but decreased 7.7% in 2024. That is a huge discrepancy that simply cannot be reconciled with candidate popularity, population shifts, voter rolls being purged (spoiler: they weren't), or any other explanation that does not recognize massive cheating via the use of fake ballots that did not correspond to registered voters. That's why some precincts reported more than 100% turnout. That's why vote counting was suspended, then restarted after those fake ballots were inserted into the counting process. And that's why recounts are of limited value. Sure, some ballots may be counted incorrectly, or not counted at all. But when the ballots themselves are fake, only a comprehensive audit of the votes will have any hope of identifying fraud. The fight for clean voter roles is a noble cause, and it will go a long way toward improving Americans' opinion of the integrity of our political process. But it is not the whole answer, and we must recognize that the forces aligned against our republican form of government will continue to probe for ways to subvert the will of the people. They found a way in 2020, and we barely survived that attack on our country. The next time might be more clever, and not a brute force injection of millions of fake ballots!

The Leftists have rigged voting laws so its not a foll proof works.
Eliminating ID, making voting so you don't have to show up. Having a very simple addition problem and making it as difficult that someone other than officials get to count the votes. Then making those computer programs with holes in them that can be compromised. Not cleaning off voter rolls, a group found California has around 850,000 people not voting yet are sill on rolls. So a apartment for instance might have dozens if not hundreds no longer in residence yet get mail votes sent to be scooped ip.

Any digital image can be manipulated. Analog originals, not so much as to be able to commit mass voter fraud.
And votes should be compiled at the precinct rather than the central counting offices. They can be recounted at the central office but each precinct should have its totals BEFORE reporting to central counting offices city/county. Make voting election week and end election season, no ballots received after counting. And UOCAVA (US residents voting abroad in US elections) needs to be fixed along with military balloting.
Draw poll workers like jury duty--which excludes felons, excludes foreigners, etc. And mandate, like jury duty, that businesses/govt/etc. release people for election week duties.
Voter id is the tip of the iceberg.

Vote.org mission statement
Vote.org is the largest 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan voting registration and get-out-the-vote (GOTV) technology platform in America. Our organization exists to remove the barriers that keep voters from making their voices heard at the ballot box.
(Though "nonpartisan" by its standards, it seems to lean left of center.)
Influence watch, in part - Vote.org aligns with left-of-center causes, and its blog publishes criticism of the Republican Party and disagreement with state legislative discretion in structuring voter integrity laws. 1 Vote.org advocates for federal legislation that would dictate the same voting laws for the entire country. 3

This.
We will have open rebellion in the streets if we ever hit 93%.
When Americans hit 40%, it's (used to be anyway) considered a good turnout. 50-60% is an excellent turnout that happens when the voters are concerned by some issue. 65% or more, the voters aren't concerned, they're pissed. This is dangerous territory.

I do not think they thought anyone would take the duty that carelessly. I think they expected people who chose to vote to go to their polling place, make sure their vote was entered. MUCH smaller communities, so you could dispute 'Hey, that slackwit tossed that guy's vote in the rubbish! He should never be allowed to work an election.'
The bigger the communities got and the more distanced the reps got from their constituents, I think a lot of shit started creeping in.

Now, efforts to advance RCV move to the state capitol. A local options bill would allow cities like Philadelphia to implement RCV if they want it – a pragmatic and locally driven path forward that has worked in other states, like Virginia and Colorado.

BlackRock invests in residential property through multiple channels:
BlackRock Real Assets and BlackRock Alternatives make direct and indirect investments in residential real estate (rental housing, single-family rentals, multifamily apartments, build-to-rent, and related operating companies).
They operate funds and strategies that buy, manage, and finance residential properties for institutional investors and, in some cases, wealth clients.
BlackRock also gains residential exposure via real-estate-related securities (REITs, mortgage-backed securities) inside its ETFs and mutual funds.

But then there are the rental units. You can't keep renters from voting if they've been residents and fulfilled a few other 'requirements.'
Most of the housing rentals around the Philadelphia region are owned by families with one to ten rental properties. (Many owners appear to be residents of other states. And there's nothing requiring property owners to be US citizens.)
State I.D.s (especially if a student &/or not utilizing a state driver's license) are also issued to be on WIC and other subsidized programs such as housing & CHIP.
Take identification showing your legitimate address; swear (say) you can vote (and some cities, counties do allow non-citizen residents to vote in local elections); pick a party, and a voting registration for new voters or persons who've moved into the area within x number of days of an election can be completed for the most part. (Yes, some states are more strict in monitoring )
Without a picture I.D. and at least the last four numbers of a SSN for voter registration 🤷🏼♀️

When they reach the junction of lots of bloody bodies (no matter who), they can go either banned republican gatherings, or,,,,directly to killing anybody who looks conservative. Remember Kmer Rouge.

We have 1.5 MILLION LEGAL immigrants per year. There were 818,000 new AMERICAN CITIZENS via immigration last year.
Over 4 years? The total vote count should be going up a bit over 3 Million per election cycle...
For there to be 4 million less votes, with 3 Million more voters (2024)? Does not pass the smell test.

Simpler, if you don't pay more in taxes, then you get with unearned benefits, no vote. Social Security, Pensions, Pay, all earned. Welfare and such? not.
No Representation without Taxation! The new US Revolution battle cry?

Agree—add to that —-small voting precincts. The smaller the better.

Lefties really wasted those extra millions of votes on 2020. Kept that shambling skeleton in office while Trump got madder and more determined. BIG mistake. Huge.

Civil rights lawsuits against election officials who fail to provide adequate # ballots to precincts, or “find” additional marked ballots after counting starts, or fail to devote sufficient resources to ensure ballots are counted promptly.
You also make it harder to cheat by counting the ballots at the precinct level. That way, no single person is responsible for counting more than about 25k ballots. The Secretary of State or the county elections official don’t actually count ballots, but merely tabulate the reported precinct totals. I haven’t thought this all the way through so it may prove to be a logistical nightmare.

1) A county employee with access to property tax records notes when a property changes hands. The prior owner has moved, but their name is still on the voter roll at the old address. Show up, give the name and vote.
2) Some other county employee with access to death certificate records lists certificates with addresses since the last election. Same situation. The name on the voter roll is not going to be used by the owner. It is safe for a fraudster to show up and cast a ballot.
These methods do not require grand conspiracies. Even small Democrat machines could manage. It would be very simple to cross reference voter rolls against property and death records, but Democrat Secretaries of State refuse.
