17 In the summer of 1806 in Spain, on the run after a prison escape, the dreaded bandit El Maragato overtook a family in their home and held them hostage. Among the family members was Pedro de Zaldivia, a lay Franciscan brother who stopped by the house to beg for alms. The humble monk ended up turning the tables on his captor, seizing El Maragato’s riﬂe and shooting him in the thigh to subdue him before he could grab another gun from his horse. The story of the heroic friar swept through Spain, not only via reports in newspapers and pamphlets but also in ballads and prints.

Although at the time Francisco Goya was chief painter to the Spanish king, he was interested in the range of human experience, including current events, and the tale of Zaldivia and El Maragato evidently captured his imagination

On April 26, 1806, Pedro Pifiero, a notorious and much feared bandit, escaped over a 44-foot wall from the Spanish arsenal of Cartagena, where he had been held originally under sentence of death. Roaming the countryside and once again stealing from both the rich and the poor, this el Maragato, as he was called after his birthplace in the mountains of the Maragatexia, turned up on June 10 at the home of a forest worker in the Verdugal. Holding him, his wife and three children, and two other men at gunpoint, he calmly helped himself to the family's dinner. Having eaten "very slowly and with much coolness and serenity of mind," the bandit then ordered the worker to saddle a fresh horse, which he loaded with two guns he had acquired in previous robberies...(cont)

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at June 04, 2026 09:45 AM (l3cgK)

82 A third gun he kept trained on the worker to herd him back into the house where the others were cowering in fear. What the bandit's intentions were, however, remains unknown, for at that moment, Friar Pedro Zaldivia, a Franciscan lay brother of the Barefoot Order of San Pedro de Aleantara, came begging for his monastery, the Convento del Rosario in nearby Oropesa. Soon, however, he, too, was one of the captives. But for all his appearance of meekness and humility, the young monk had no intentions of remaining a victim. Instead, he became the hero of a morality play that soon would be celebrated all over Spain, from court to countryside...(cont)

85 Maragato, whose boots had become worn during his wanderings around the countryside, ordered one of the men in the room to give him his. Friar Pedro, however, told Maragato that he had a far better pair among the alms he had collected for the poor. With Maragato's gun trained on him, Friar Pedro rummaged in the saddlebags he carried on his shoulders and finally produced the boots. He did not give them to Maragato, however, but tricked him into reaching out his left hand to take them. When Maragato did so Pedro grabbed the barrel of the gun and, after a struggle, succeeded in wresting it from the bandit. Maragato dashed to his horse for his other two guns, but again Friar Pedro was too clever. "Accidentally" bumping the horse, he frightened it and it ran away. Maragato also ran, but Friar Pedro was determined that he should be brought to justice. Taking careful aim at his legs so as not to kill him, he fired a charge of a bullet, two lead pieces, and some birdshot. His aim was a little high, and the charge lodged in Maragato's right buttock...(cont)

88 Finding a cord that "Providence had supplied" (perhaps the cincture he wore around his waist with its three special knots to signify his vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience), Friar Pedro bound Maragato's hands and feet. Later, when he discovered how heavily his prisoner was bleeding, he loosed them. Dragging Maragato into the shade where he could escape the noonday heat, he protected him from the wrath of the others, who, having previously stood by and watched, now wished to beat up the bandit when he was safely tied and harmless. Meanwhile, word of the bandit's capture spread quickly and an angry crowd gathered. Maragato begged the friar to finish him off so that he would not have to return to jail and almost certainly the gallows but Friar Pedro refused. That was God's domain, he said. Finally, at 11 o'clock that night, the police arrived and the bandit and the friar returned to Oropesa, one to jail, the other to his monastery.

Posted by: polynikes at June 04, 2026 09:49 AM (WNOcj)

102 Not what I expected from a Goya painting. The scene is obviously known to his audience, a true event. Compared to the portraits of the Spanish royal family and other works, this looks crude, almost cartoonish, like something from a western dime novel. It wouldn't get noticed if it wasn't for the artist. Perhaps it's silly, but the friar's foot on the left of the image is at an odd angle and that annoyed me. At least the rifle is correct for the period.

Have to believe that Frederick Remington would have done a better job of the scene.

The paintings are in the Art Institute of Chicago. Each one is small, perhaps a square foot in area, and Goya dashed them off in response to the event which was widely talked about. Together, depict the incident serially, much like a comic strip: The bandit brandishes his gun; the friar arrives; the friar and the bandit struggle over the gun; the friar disarms the bandit; the friar shoots the bandit; and the friar ties the hands of the bleeding bandit.

158 WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday that Americans don’t need semi-automatic weapons to protect their homes because a couple of blasts from a shotgun will scare off intruders.

“Buy a shotgun, buy a shotgun,” the vice president encouraged those worried about defending themselves. He was speaking in an online video as part of a Facebook town hall hosted by Parents Magazine on the administration’s strategy for reducing gun violence, which he has led at the direction of President Barack Obama.

Biden said he keeps two shotguns and shells locked up at home and he’s told his wife, Jill, to use them if she needs protection. He presumably was speaking about before he became vice president, a position that gives the couple full-time Secret Service protection.

“I said, ‘Jill, if there’s ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony ... take that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house,’” Biden said. “You don’t need an AR-15. It’s harder to aim, it’s harder to use and in fact, you don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself.”

171 Friar Pedro Shoots El Maragato as His Horse Runs Off
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes

I didn't read all above to see if anyone quoted the ending of the piece so it's here:

This narrative series stands in marked contrast to the portraits of royalty and nobility that make up much of Goya’s painted works. His other small-format paintings similarly treat traditional pastimes, superstitions, and scenes from daily life with a popular realism that is often darkly comic in tone. Goya may have created the El Maragato series for his own amusement rather than as a commission, since they were still listed among his possessions in an 1812 inventory.

And as above, (44. It's one in a series of 6 paintings on the event... Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia), it is and all six in the series can be viewed on Art Institute Chicago artworks website in the 'Friar Pedro Shoots El Maragato as His Horse Runs Off' link.

Don't know if I'd hang all in the series or even this one lone painting, but it's an interesting & fun lesson in art.

The Morning Report — 6/ 4 /26

Good morning kids. Considering the moral, cultural and societal degradation and collapse of Western Civilization that in most cases we brought about on ourselves, there are things that perhaps give us at least a sliver of hope on which to cling. The ghastly butchering of a white Englishman at the hands of an immigrant was bad enough, but the reaction of police and British authorities that made the victim into the perpetrator and the murderer into a hero was even worse, in that it further confirmed my initial assertion about our society and culture as we share a closely intertwined history and lineage with England and given what's happening there and here perhaps a similar fate. And yet, this is happening.

Based on the events that have taken place in Britain in the past 24 hours, this technique does not appear to be as effective anymore. For the first time in memory, white people are organizing in the streets — in large numbers — to advance their own interests. They saw what happened to first-year university student Henry Nowak, who was butchered in the street by a foreigner — like so many other innocent whites living in Britain. They saw how the police handcuffed Nowak and mocked him as the life drained from his body, all because the murderous barbarian claimed that Nowak had been “racist.” They saw how the police in Britain will strip you of your rights and your dignity if they believe you harbor any resentment whatsoever towards the foreign hordes who are destroying your country. They saw how the killer’s family conspired to hide the evidence and concoct a false claim of self-defense — without any remorse whatsoever, only tribal loyalty. And having seen all of this — just the latest in a long string of executions, systemic injustice and humiliation that whites have been forced to endure in Britain for the past several decades — the indigenous people of the UK are finally rising up. They are taking back their own country.

Well whether that last assertion is true is debatable, but the protests over this as well as that of the Islamic rape gangs are, and the reaction from the powers that be in now going after anyone who dares stand up and speak out is naked tyranny. This is England in 2026, the nation that stood up to Hitler and gave us Magna Carta is teetering on the precipice of that New Dark Age that Churchill warned about, but instead of Hitler and the Nazis it will be homegrown self-hating Britons and the foreign-born masses they let in and subsume them that pushes them over the edge into the abyss.

Public outrage in Britain is rising after the release of harrowing police bodycam footage in the stabbing and subsequent arrest of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old university student who was killed December 3, 2025 in Southampton, England, by a 23-year-old Sikh man named Vickrum Digwa. The circumstances of Nowak’s murder almost defy belief. On their own, they would be enough to send Britain into a spiral of race riots and civil unrest — if Nowak had not been white, and if his killer had not been Indian. As it is, the murder of Henry Nowak will probably not trigger the kind of rioting that George Floyd’s death did in the United States. But it does perfectly illustrate the logic of Black Lives Matter: racial minorities are to be believed and preferred, white people are not — even in cases where whites are the victims of violent crimes. When police arrived on the scene, he lied, telling them Nowak had called him a racist slur, which is a crime in Britain, owing to that country’s lack of anything like a First Amendment. So the police arrested Nowak, not Digwa, even as Nowak pleaded for medical aid, saying he had been stabbed. He told the officers he couldn’t breathe. He said this nine times, and four times he told them he had been stabbed...Instead of helping the victim of a violent attack, the police automatically believed Digwa. Why? Because he’s a racial minority and Nowak was white. The presumption of guilt and innocence, as far as the police were concerned, was determined entirely on the basis of race. The white boy must be guilty, the Sikh man must be the victim... On and on it goes, including the recent case of a Muslim man who called for the beheading of Jews but was released on bail, while white Britons who complained about him were arrested for posting about it on social media. ..This kind of thing has gotten out of hand in Britain, but the impulse to adopt racial preferences is actually an import to Britain from America. One of the odd and disturbing features of modern Britain is the extent to which they have adopted the racial narratives and in-group grievances of the American left — a paradigm wholly unsuited to British culture and history.

And speaking of this side of the pond and this kind of madness

. . . here are are again.
Rick Chow, a 61-year-old Chinese store owner, shot an armed teenager he suspected of stealing from his store while defending his son. After a trial, a jury found him not guilty which means that BLMers are doing their “No justice, no peace” and threatening race riots down in South Carolina.
That also means it’s a national news story why, because, well I’ll let CNN tell it, “Chow, 61, who is Asian, shot Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back after chasing him from his convenience store in Columbia, but maintained he acted to defend his son. The killing sent waves of anguish and grief through the African American community in Richland County, where nearly half the population is Black.”
It’s very vital to spell out that Chow… is Asian. We’ve gotten used to the addition of ‘Black’ or ‘White’, to stories, but now Asians get the same treatment.

In 1992 we cheered on the Rooftop Koreans of Los Angeles who defended themselves from the bloodthirsty savages who were out for blood, to avenge the death of Rodney King. Hopefully there will be rooftop Chinese in Columbia. While the deaths of Rodney King and Carmack-Belton were and are questionable. The reaction to the former and potential reaction to the latter were and will be inexcusable, regardless of the narratives put forth by the usual suspects in the race-hustler/divide-and-conquer complex.

With that, you have to admire the cojones of at least some in the Duluth GOP and it too perhaps gives hope that, to coin a phrase that usually brings forth vomitus, decent people are at long last speaking truth to power, the consequences be damned.

Minnesota Republican Party delegates held a brief moment of silence for Derek Chauvin during their state convention in Duluth, and the expected outrage arrived right on schedule. "The audacity of the Minnesota Republican Party to honor an individual who has both been convicted by a jury of his peers for the murder of a fellow human being, while at the same time violated a professional oath to protect and serve his community, is disgusting," Floyd family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci wrote Tuesday in a statement, according to The Hill. The attorneys demanded that state GOP leaders "issue an immediate retraction of this immoral act and issue an apology to the family of George Floyd and to the people of Minnesota that they serve."
. . . George Floyd, as we remember, died on May 25, 2020, after Minneapolis police responded to a call about a counterfeit $20 bill. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide and listed the cause as cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law restraint and neck compression.
The same official report also listed arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease, fentanyl intoxication, and recent meth use as significant conditions.
We're led to believe such an official report from a medical examiner, especially after so many people were fatally shot, yet during COVID, the bullets didn't kill them — the virus did.
Derek Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, receiving a 22-1/2-year state sentence and later receiving a concurrent 21-year federal sentence after pleading guilty to civil rights violations.

Chauvin is every bit on the same level as an Alfred Dreyfus, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and to shove it in the face of the Left Nelson Mandela!

If there is a God in Heaven, Ben Crump and his ilk will soon be standing before Him awaiting eternal damnation.

On the one hand, I cannot see Derek Chauvin being exonerated and freed from the Minnesota Gulag but at least Mumia Abu Jamal is still rotting in prison long after I expected him to be unleashed on us by Josh Shapiro.

Funny how conservatives don't cause massive riots whenever real injustice, and not the fictional variety, is unleashed on us. If we were to add up all the depredations, indignities and injustices we have suffered at the hands of Leftists and their ilk lo these many years, there would be nothing left but dust and ashes if we reacted even to a minimal degree what the BLM/Antifa/SOROS goon squads were bought and paid to do.

Lord help them should the day come when we finally say enough is enough.

Have a great day,

70 Sports interlude. Larry Bird's been in the news, so ...

Larry Bird's first NBA rival was Doctor J.

Julius Erving was short and ignored when he started at UMass. Then he grew and his skill at dunking defined the Black style of basketball, perfected in the ABA, which he joined because his family needed money.

His streetball exploits at Rucker Park in Harlem were the stuff of legend, where hundreds would watch from neighboring rooftops. He was the most entertaining player ever, until Bird came along.

Bird was born a poor black child and played like one. When he came into the league, Doctor J was in his twilight playing with the Sixers. While Larry might see Magic twice in the regular season, the Celtics and Sixers were in the same division and had to play through the other to get to the Finals -- four times! And Bird and Erving guarded each other!

What they shared was a pure love of the game.

This was never about justice for Henry; they went against the wishes of his family, to push their white grievance and white victimhood politics violently.

these people are clearly grifters duping poorly educated people into handing over their cash as 'donations' by preaching hate.

Weren't these guys crying about injured police officers in Manchester a week before...now attacking police officers...
Theyre just white nationalists.

2 - and this is why the certainty, the jury heard the whole story, the actual facts.
And they all voted to acquit.

In Houston, there is a 28 year old Dindu Nuffin who tried to carjack an off-duty deputy, with his child in the car.
Despite unnecessary and multiple warnings, Dindu Nuffin proceeded and got ventilated.

Agree. Also a good read.

I’m on the record as being against the pause in combat operations. I still believe that and posit that we would have gained more faster had that not been done. But I’m willing to listen to other opinions who believe, at least partially, the pause allowed things to develop more positively. I still ultimately doubt the IRGC will step away from terrorist ops.

The mainstream GOP will beat their flabby breasts and rend their finery over them, and even many here will join in their stage-managed jeremiads, because nobody wants to face the truth: the GOP is a dying Party, Trump is the source of whatever vitality the raddled old whore has left in her, and without him on the ticket, it has nothing to offer.

216 I'm seeing more and more Dem pols calling for police bodycams to be removed.

Its almost comical.

Everyone assumed bodycams would show mass bad activity from cops. And not that it hasn't shown any, but it has mostly shown bad activity from people interacting with the cops.

I've been watching some videos based on bodycams where the guy has actually animated them and the number of people that talk themselves into being arrested is amazing.

One case in point...guy is leaving a bar. Cop is called to a bar goes to the drunk guy stumbling to his car and says "hey you are drunk, call a cab don't get in your car." Drunk guy tells the cop to fuck off and gets in his car. Cop tries to arrest him, and the guy resists.

So instead of paying $20 for a cab/uber he's going to pay thousands and probably get a short stint in jail.

Cop pulls a Florida man over from drunk driving and we get to see this from the cop's dashcam. After a bit of talking Florida man jumps out of his car and starts running.

But he doesn't run away...he runs around his car. With the cop following him. And they go around and around and around like a Keystone Kops skit until drunk guy gets winded and falls to the ground...

Growing up in the 50's, my parents always had at least a month's worth of food in the house. Included canned goods, rice, flour (if mom decided to bake), etc. I carried over that same habit. But, in my neighborhood back then, most people were first generation from Eastern European parents who were very self sufficient. City people didn't have a clue. They shopped every day for just the item they wanted for dinner on that day. My Hungarian mom couldn't comprehend that behavior. We were always prepared.

Good point.
It's just so very STUPID. It's an unfortunate, but typically routine thing. Get pulled over, give info, get a ticket, or if you're lucky, a warning. Antagonizing the police officer only makes it worse.

293 The text about Rodney King was in error where it says "his death". He was beaten in 1991 - allegedly for resisting arrest, after exceeding speeds of 100 on the freeway, and well above the speed limit on surface streets - while inebriated. He was avoiding the police because he was then on parole. He died in 2021. The video taken by a third party from an apartment was the catalyst for the LA riots.

Daily Tech News 4 June 2026

Top Story

Apple's MacBook Neo is selling so well the company has doubled production. (MacRumors)

At that rate they'll run out of bad chips and have to start using good ones, but economies of scale may make up for it.

Also the company is reportedly working on a 12GB model for next year. If they can hit the same price that will offer a worthwhile bump in capabilities; 8GB is a bit restrictive even on a Mac.

Tech News

Another Arm-based computer with 8GB of RAM is Radxa's new Dragon Q8B. (Liliputing)

It's a single-board computer for embedded projects like the Raspberry Pi. With an MSRP of $209 for the 8GB model, it's 60% more expensive, but it's also 60% faster for single-threaded tasks, and 200% faster for multi-threaded workloads. You can get models up to 32GB, but it becomes distinctly uncheap at that point.
A new DOS attack can cause most fully-patched web servers to run out of memory in under a minute. (Bleeping Computer)

Well, that's just great.

No.

Because I said so.

Well, that settles it then.

The story of my retired life! Though it's rare when I don't take a nap.

Big black Stirling is sprawled on the carpet near the bookcases. I checked the closets and little Dagny had not been shut into them; so I called her, and darned if she didn't trot out from the bedroom window where she likes to sit.

The new place doesn't have window sills like this, I think. I'll buy one of those cat seats, the kind that you hook to the window base and prop up with legs against the wall beneath, for them to sit and look out of one window.

33 I've begun culling my books in prep for the move. Even if the home inspection (scheduled for today) reveals more problem$$$ than I want to deal with, getting rid of some books and magazines is a good idea. There's a thrift store near a Walmart in the suburbs that takes donations. Need to buy some boxes, though.

I discovered two Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazines from . . . 1967!! I've kept them all these years because one has an Ellery short story in it and one of the knowingly stupid and funny Shlock Homes parodies, and the other has an Ed McBain 87th Precinct story paired with a parody by Jon L. Breen of the whole series.

35 I had such a lovely visit with an older woman at the senior center yesterday. She's not a member of the church I serve, but she comes to our monthly worship services at the center. She had been feeling in low spirits and wasn't able to attend Bible study on Tuesday so I told her I would bring communion the next day. We shared communion and I anointed her and we prayed . She has butterflies pictures all over her room because she likes them and knows they are a symbol of the resurrection. She gave me a little thing of packaged Kleenex with a butterfly on it and it said "Blessed". It had a bunch of words and references to the the Bible on the back. So kind of her!

36 It was actually 55 degrees here yesterday morning.

I don't think I've seen a low of 55 in June here since, like, ever.

Read some articles a month or so ago claiming we'd see a cooler, wetter, summer here in SC (and the rest of the South) due to the El Nino forming in the Pacific, and it looks like the weather 'experts' might actually be correct here.

I hope so.
80s & 90s, with more rain, sure beats 90s and 100s and drought for summer.

An active El Nino usually means less hurricanes hitting the east coast & Gulf, so that's a bonus.

Funny story about that. Asmongold was testing out a theory on AI. He told the program (Which had a female voice at the time) to count to one million. The AI argued with him and he said "I bet you wouldn't challenge me if you had a male voice."

He cut it off mid-conversation and changed the AI to male and asked the same question. It immediately began to count.

Are AI Models Conscious?

First thing I did was check who wrote it.

"Ted Chiang is a writer based in the Pacific Northwest. He is the author of Stories of Your Life and Others and Exhalation."

Yeah, he sounds fully qualified to discuss this issue.

My first cat I rescued from a roadside rest area where she had survived by scrounging through the trash cans there. A calico, I somehow got her to come near me and I put her in the back of my hatchback. We drove the hour to the home of the future Mrs. KvC, where she met the kids and became our companion for the next eight years or so. A badass hunter and a goofball at the same time, she was. I slept beside her on last night with me, sleeping on the floor, before the vet came over to put her down.

74 Is AI conscious?

Recall the computer program written in the sixties called ELIZA, it mimicked psychotherapy . It's some users convinced they were talking to a real therapist. To oversimplify:

Doctor, I've been feeling sad lately
You say you've been feeling sad.When did this start?
etc

She and our other rescue, a sweet but dumb tom, would take turns tormenting each other by swatting the swinging flap of the pet door to the outside when the other cat was trying to come back inside. I don't think either one realized who was slapping on the door (they couldn't see, as it was made of opaque plastic). That form of fun and games lasted until two wild raccoons found the door and began plundering the kitties' food and water in their sun room home, after which I had to take down the door.

This Independence Day will mark fifty years since a high school friend and I were hiking in the Presidential Range on New Hampshire and we crossed over the peak of Mt. Washington while hiking the Appalachian Trail.

At camp that evening, we and others in the campsite watched the little brilliant coloured flowers from fireworks displays in the towns to the north and west below us. The displays were far enough away that there was no sound to be heard accompanying them. A very cool experience, that was.

I know what you're thinking. "I've been sitting here all evening in my underwear tearing through a bag of blue ranch Doritos contemplating the mysteries of life. There's crap on television and only cat videos on the internet. If only there was a place on the interweb that was an oasis of sorts. If only there was a place where the eccentric and eclectic gathered and Truth, Justice and the American Way still led from the front. I've got Dorito crumbs everywhere and my glass is almost empty but still...if only there was some overnight thread where the irreverent and insightful blend their collective wisdom and keep vigil to ensure the flames of freedom remain lit..."

Anyway.

Speaking of meteor craters, in 2029 asteroid Aphophis will come within GSO distance of earth (20K miles). Uncertainty in trajectory is now down to a couple km, and JPL assures no chance of impact in the next 100 years.

If Apophis hit, it would be around 2 GT, ~40 Tsar Bombas. That would be a region killer, but not a dino-killer global extinction event (although it would be a bitch for survivors for a while).

I grew up in Cody. Every year, before Memorial Day, they would have a free day for locals. I loved hanging out for the day. I would browse the firearms and such, but spent most of my time in the art gallery. So many C.M. Russell and Fredric Remington, and so many more artists. They had a whole aisle of Russell letters to friends and family, and he would include quick watercolor sketches along the margins. Even his letters were works of art.

113 Whatever happened to the Ukrainians? Left by the side of the road?
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at June 03, 2026 10:11 PM (O0L8i)

The Ukrainians have been using drones to strike deeper into Russia, with the latest attacks hitting St. Petersburg.

The Russians continue to hammer them with drones and missiles, while very, very slowly advancing on the ground.

The Russians continue to hope the Ukrainians will finally collapse, and the Ukrainians continue to hope the war will spread and Europe will rescue them.

Meanwhile, the Iranians are taking notes.

Over 50,000 exhibits (I didn't count, but I had to believe the tour guide). Kids under 17 are free....and (this was cool), the demonstration of blowing hot glass was really cool, as were the Kamala Harris jokes we were cracking (blowing glass...get it?).

They have some hands on stuff as well mostly geared towards hobbiests and some kids stuff too.

I had fun, and I didn't think I would. How they got their hands on ancient Egyptian glass is curious.

145 Today, after a bad night's sleep (a really bad one) due to the stress mounting for a month, I had an incredibly rare nap this afternoon. We assume about 1.5hrs where I conked out in bed. A repair man was in the basement but my husband was home. Drug free of even Tylenol.Out cold like a 5yr old innocent child.

Had dinner. Watched the start of a new series with the man who puts up with me. Then realized I thought it was Friday vs Wednesday.

In the recent progression of confusing days since the near cholera, this is progress as at least I am moving forward vs thinking it was Monday.

The good news is our baby girl, without the help of her highly respected pediatrician professor (who still wears a mask I was told), has decided to be cured on her own without her stinking doctor's help.

In Ace's Cafe I realized the confusion when I wished him a happy weekend. I mean, he could take off two days with my permission now. You all could.

All is well. No new disasters. Eldest son found a new job a week ago. Son is still in Australia and I have not read of any horrors there. To be honest I've been too busy to know what is going on and may keep it that way til tomorrow, which is Thursday.

I was a teenager when it was built. My friends and I had marvelous times exploring. It's two miles from the house but I haven't been in this century except for a few dedications. My uncle's name is on the wall there dedicated to all who worked on the Saturn V and made notable contributions to the Space program.

OTOH, I have been to the National Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola, FL many times until I lost the ability to walk without assistance. I took thousands of photographs knowing I'd never get to see them again if I didn't.

The National Museum of the Air Force, Dayton, OH can be viewed online in 3D although it is on my bucket list.

Also, FWIW, I worked on testing the Space Shuttle at all of the test stands as a subcontractor for Bendix Aerospace in the late 80's. It was an interesting time seeing the interior of the SRB and working around the External Tank, they were huge.

I can't decide if this is a phobia I've had for years or what, but if there's a mole I am focused on it with tv people. Thankfully not in real life (I don't think I know anyone with a facial mole currently).

In reality it started with Obungo's facial mole. I am pretty sure this is correct.

t.ly/2bXJg

Their 3D simulator there infuriates me. It will by default lock on the selected object and give you some oblique view. The first thing you want to do is *unlock* the camera, then *reset* the camera. That will put the Sun in the center of the frame. Now grab screen with the mouse and drag it down to a polar view so you're looking down on the plane of the solar system. Now adjust the time and date to get close to 2029, adjust the speed if desired, and then let it run.

You'll see it almost hit earth. At that point you can adjust the view to the side and see the full 3D picture of how close it gets.

223 Did a golf trip to the Savannah area back in the early 00s. For reasons passing understanding, I hadn't heard of the Mighty Eighth museum there (8th Air Force) and so didn't see it. And back then I would have surely been able to talk to some 8th vets, who were docents (sadly, not now).

Still miss my Guadalcanal vet docent colleague from the days as docent at the Flying Leathernecks' museum. And the other WWII vets who volunteered or visited.

And some of the visitors. A 50-something Chinese-American guy brought his elderly grandfather. The father instantly recognized the TBF, pointing and saying (in Chinese to his son) "that's one, that's one!". Son explained his dad was a kid living next to a Japanese airfield on Taiwan (Formosa) during Task Force 38's rampage in the region in 1945. The boys cheered the US planes strafing the Japanese airfield - and the mothers went nuts to shut the kids up and get them inside, of course!

236 There's a new-ish SEAL museum in downtown San Diego. It's worth a visit for those with interest in the subject. Mostly video, photo and text, but very well done, on the history of naval special warfare and operations up to present day.

Went recently with my buddy who did 25+ years in the teams. There were 3 sections/panels where he chuckled and said he participated. And he enjoyed the artifact displays, gear and weapons from WWII to today.

If you go (and it would make an excellent, if intense, one-two punch with the USS Midway a few blocks away), you should arrange to also drive over to Coronado and down the main road south of "town" - decent chance of seeing BUDS guys running (or walk on the beach south the Hotel Del to the "no entry" zone, if lucky you'll see the guys doing "log PT" or getting "wet and sandy" in the surf).

I think there's a magic zone of 15-20 min "power naps." I would not know but maybe will try.

Both of my grandmothers were firm believers of 1pm naps daily and lived to be in their 90's. I am not sure if I want to live into my 90's, for starters, and I never napped as a child.

I forget about OSIRIS-APEX, formally OSIRIS-REX. In the REX incarnation it captured a sample of asteroid Bennu and returned it to earth via a reentry capsule in Sept 2023. The drogue parachutes didn't deploy right, but the mains did and it survived, although it landed harder than intended.

After than, they repurposed it to rendezvous with Apophis right after the 2029 close path. Here's a little JPL video showing the fancy flying they do to accomplish that:

Here is a little known fact, and it occurred to me while I was reading about Karmelo Anthony:

The O.J. trial should've been held in the Brentwood Division of the LA court, instead of the Central (i.e., the downtown) Division, because the murders occurred in Brentwood.

The court MOVED the trial from it's regular and presumed venue in Brentwood... for the convenience of (wait for it!) the press! Because the Central (downtown) Division could better accommodate the large press presence.

In Brentwood, at that time anyway, O.J. would've gotten a largely white jury.

The Manson prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi, wrote a whole BOOK about all the prosecution's many mistakes in the O.J. trial. But moving it to downtown L.A. was probably fatal.

My body clock is forged in granite. Years in music did that. Sleep before 3am? Not happening. I existed on 6 hours of sleep for decades. When I had surgery a few years ago I finally thought I broke the cycle. I was passing out at midnight or before, getting up at 6am and forcing myself to sleep more because there is nothing to do at 6am. After about 6 months, my body went back to the old schedule as if to say ok dude, vacation is over.

He says it was self defense and the black community believes him. Pretty sure the prosecution is going to show him going from tent to tent stealing stuff out of backpacks and purses. Austin Metcalf and his twin brother walked up and grabbed his backpack to get their shit back and he stabbed him to death. Bare minimum of "Felony Murder"* but should probably be "Murder 1"

*Felony Murder: when you are committing a felony and somebody dies as a result. If he had just 1 credit card that wasn't his, that is a felony.

I'm pretty sure they moved it downtown to (wait for it!) avoid the appearance of racism and ensure that OJ got a jury of his "peers." His peers were somehow a bunch of dumb ghetto dwellers instead of the upper-class sophisticates he'd assimilated into decades earlier.

Yep, that fancy flying is something else. And it's a long game. That trajectory video starts right at the spacecraft's close pass to earth to drop off the sample return capsule. They fine tuned the pass to give it the correct gravity-kick from earth to get it on track. That meant getting a little closer to the Sun than the thing was designed to handle, but they worked out some clever tricks to keep from getting too hot.

Note how it makes a couple more close passes by earth afterward which further adjusts the orbit, and lo and behold, on April 13, 2029, all three, earth, Apophis, and the spacecraft converge.

That takes some fancy orbital mechanics.

262 238 Anna Puma & Kindltot

Kindltot has it right. Under Batson v. Kentucky, the prosecutor must state ab race neutral reason for using a peremptory strike against a venireperson.

The reason better not be "merely pretextual" either, because Batson strikes can be appealed in the event of conviction.

A prosecutor NEVER has enough peremptory strikes to get rid of everybody he/she loathes. The number varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In federal court, the prosecutor used to get 6, and the defense got 10. That's fair, right?/s

Randyland outdoor art museum in Pittsburgh is free; donations accepted to keep it afloat.

Mattress Factory Contemporary Art Museum in Pittsburgh, tickets 10 to 20 dollars. (Might depend on age & appearance, rising to the top when not quite the right type.)

General admission to the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art (often called the Tiffany glass museum) in Winter Park, FL is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $3 for students. Children under 12 enter for free.

Admission to The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia includes access to three floors of hands-on exhibits, daily science shows, and the Fels Planetarium. General admission is $29 for adults, $25 for teens, and $23 for children. Special exhibitions (like Universal Theme Parks) require an additional upgrade.

General admission to the 1,000 acre Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library in Delaware ranges from $27 to $29 for adults, depending on the season.

Yes, he wrote one about the O.J. trial.

He also wrote "Helter Skelter," which made him a wealthy man.

He published other books, including "And the Sea Will Tell," I think. About another interesting murder and trial.

His preparation for the Mansoin Family trial was absolutely incredible. I admired him greatly, even though he was a hardcore leftwinger.

336 Fun state capital story - I’ve always enjoyed touring the buildings , they’re almost all marvels of architecture. We were on vacation traveling through Baton Rouge, so I stopped at the Capitol to take my daughter, then in grade school, to look around. Beautiful artwork, polished granite all over. We walked into a small anteroom near the elevators, and I was showing my daughter all the pock marks in the walls of that room,
A pleasant looking gentleman exited the elevator, saw us looking at it, and said “yeah, this is where that cat got himself shot!” He then asked us where we were from, asked my daughter about school, and I explained it was spring break in Texas. He thanked us for coming to visit, and said “we always like to have people see what we do here!” Then he shook my hand and left, without ever having introduced himself.

As I continued looking around the building, we came into the room that had all the portraits of the current legislative officers; and I realized we’d been chatting with the Speaker of the Louisiana House.

343 yeah, good ol' Molly Pitcher. There is a well around here, a landmark called molly pitcher's well. Its bogus. They think the actual place she drew water from is about a mile away from the bogus landmark. There are 2 streams that somewhat border the battlefield, so it was probably one of those and not actually a well. I can't believe I never pieced this together that the battlefield is so close. The brits left under the cover of darkness and went to sandy hook. And thats probably 45 minutes away, but its not far from Monmouth beach, and other things out there are "Monmouth", or have Monmouth in their name. I assumed the battlefield was out there, but Monmouth county starts real close to here, so yeah it would be called Monmouth courthouse or battlefield.

Yes, Bugliosi (The Bug) was a lefty loon... and one of the best prosecutors who ever lived. Both can be true.

They didn't select him to be the lead Manson Family prosecutor by drawing his name out of a hat!

His analysis of the O.J. trial was fascinating, just as a car wreck can be fascinating.
Posted by: mnw at June 04, 2026 12:23 AM (RCjYY)

The most depressing analysis that I saw at the time, or rather just right after, was grading the defense an F, and the prosecution an F-minus. I don't remember his name, I think he was on a talk show regarding his book about the trial. But the essential point was that it was a fundamental mistake to try to draw any kind of larger point from the trial, as everyone else was doing, because it was so wildly unrepresentative of the normal practice of law, and each side was only competitive thanks to the incompetence of the other.

We had a multi-day meeting for work one time in Annapolis, MD. Each one of us stayed in rented rooms located above businesses in the downtown area.

Jack's room was above Chick & Ruth's Deli, a noted dining location there. The rest of us were insanely jealous of his great good luck.

The Annual Senior Pass is $20 a year. The "America the Beautiful Senior Lifetime Pass" is an $80 one-time fee ($90 online with $10 processing), good for the rest of your life. And you can upgrade (in person) from the annual to the lifetime for the $60 difference.

"Fired? After all this time? Why?"

"Well, for the last few years I've had this urge to stick my penis in one of the pickle slicers. Today I couldn't resist any more."

"Oh, my God! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, fine."

"How about the pickle slicer?"

410 Fun state capital story - I’ve always enjoyed touring the buildings , they’re almost all marvels of architecture. We were on vacation traveling through Baton Rouge, so I stopped at the Capitol to take my daughter, then in grade school, to look around. Beautiful artwork, polished granite all over. We walked into a small anteroom near the elevators, and I was showing my daughter all the pock marks in the walls of that room,
A pleasant looking gentleman exited the elevator, saw us looking at it, and said “yeah, this is where that cat got himself shot!” He then asked us where we were from, asked my daughter about school, and I explained it was spring break in Texas. He thanked us for coming to visit, and said “we always like to have people see what we do here!” Then he shook my hand and left, without ever having introduced himself.

As I continued looking around the building, we came into the room that had all the portraits of the current legislative officers; and I realized we’d been chatting with the Speaker of the Louisiana House.

It's not, reason, it's not its turn in the sequence. It's coming. Caveat, stuff happens, to our benefit, no one is faster than Trump - he's a cat - if something interrupts the plan he moves faster in reaction than we can think, it's confusing...to us, not to him.

I was living in Germany. My new fourth grade teacher (she got to the school a few days after the school year started and cobbled together her class with other students from other classes on her first day) and I were talking about things because she took an interest in books I had checked out of the library. At some point I mentioned that in a month my father was going to take me on a road trip to West Berlin. Then she said “I’ve been to Berlin.” She told me the place to go was the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie. It’s a museum dedicated to, among other things, how people escaped East Berlin and got into the West after the Wall went up. Little did she know she was creating a virulent anti-communist. For that and many other reasons, she’s easily my favorite teacher from elementary school.

- 146 Borsuk infantry fighting vehicles.
- 96 Krab 155mm self-propelled howitzers
- 64 Rak 120mm self-propelled mortars
- 1,000 support vehicles (ammo transport, command, comms, service) for Homar-K MLRS systems (Polish version of South Korea’s K239 Chunmoo)
- Hundreds of support vehicles for K9PL self-propelled howitzers.
- Hundreds of thousands of 155mm artillery shells.
- 30 Rosomak medical evacuation vehicles.
- 18 Rosomak command vehicles.
- 18 SAN counter-drone batteries (~700 vehicles).
- 12 Gladius UAV battery modules (unmanned strike/recce systems).
- 400+ Warmate loitering munitions.
- 190 FlyEye reconnaissance drone sets.
- Baobab-K scatterable mine-laying systems.
- Dozens of Waran 4x4 command/comms vehicles
- Other engineering, cyber, comms, encryption, and support systems.

But I don't know if their squawking was friendly or hostile, because I don't know if the sounds I'm making are friendly or hostile. I might be saying the crow version of the n-word.

If the crows don't work out, there are other birds.

Although Alexei Leonov nearly killed himself doing it. His commie spacesuit ballooned too much and he couldn't fit back in the hatch. He had to drop the pressure to dangerously low levels, and became overheated and exhausted. He got back in, but just barely.

This annoys the shit out of me. If they're a good musician they're a good musician. Freddy Mercury and Rob Halford were iconic frontmen with standout voices, who gives a fuck if they were gay? And why should we give a fuck about some mediocre or non-talent just because they ARE gay? Doesn't make their music any good.

94 The Reckless vs the evil empire of Pricks and Minidicks keeps getting more interesting.

A case that was once about 780 stolen sets of Star Wars Lego has now morphed into a First Amendment case because of a tyrant in a black robe.

Two bizarre and insane paragraphs. The Provo UT judge ordered that all of Reckless Ben's videos be removed from the Internet and that he would be barred from making anymore. Then to put a cherry on this shit sandwich, this same judge then said bond is waived because there is no evidence that Reckless Ben could suffer monetary harm.

This is what provoked Patrron's CEO to go online and tell Pricks and Minidicks to stuff their paperwork and to sue Patreon.

June 22d is when Reckless Ben can finally have his day in court. He now has a Civil Rights attorney, high powered one it seems, on his side who is already trying to move this case to a Federal court because of the First Amendment implications.

Soviet capsules were pressurized to 1 atm with a normal earth-air mix. And they could not be depressurized. So they had to rig a crude airlock contraption. When Leonov suit ballooned, he had to lower pressure greatly to squeeze back in, but he induced the bends, because of all the nitrogen.

And then, when he barely made it back inside, the inner hatch wouldn't seal properly. They didn't carry any extra N with them, so the system started compensating with O2, and that was very bad for the system (this bit us in the ass with Apollo 1 later). They had to come back down quick. Then the retrorocket system failed, requiring manual firing, which put their landing zone way off course and they landed on a high peak in the Urals. Bitter cold, and it took a day for the rescue crew to get to them.

Every day we do not get the enriched uranium and a surrender, strike a power plant. Use drones to destroy it.

Start with the plants that power Tehran City, then Tehran Province. Use IRGC control status to sort the next targets.
Do this every day.

After each power plant is destroyed, have Trump send a message by his hidden channels of communications: "Inshallah."

113 The problem with the word pride in English is that it is doing double duty. The French have two different words for pride: orgueil, which is the bad sort of pride (Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall), and fierté, which is patriotic pride, pride in doing the right thing, and so forth.

117 It's already morphing. They're already sweeping the gays and lesbians aside. Which is hilarious. But what comes next will be sicker and sicker.

That's why it hasn't been called Gay Pride for a very long time. Just generic pride. Which means they can reassign as needed and they are doing it. You are seeing it. Yes it's still deviancy for now.
Posted by: ... at June 03, 2026 08:11 PM (vE0+H)

What the less insane folks to the left of the "T" in LGBTQ are realizing is they're the ones being "erased." You can't be gay or lesbian anymore because sex is just some gauzy intangible construct, and you're a transphobe if you're a gay man who doesn't want to have sex with a "transman" or a lesbian who doesn't want to have sex with a "transwoman," especially one with their dicks still a-swingin'. Like all victim classes they got used and are now being marginalized within their own "movement." It's kind of fascinating from a sociopolitical perspective.

At the time, they claimed it was a smashing success. We didn't learn the truth publicly until after the fall of the Soviet Union, or maybe in the lead up.

Now, how much of that our own intel knew at the time, I don't know.

The Soviets did kinda sort fake some pictures and film of that spacewalk for their own domestic consumption. There were some real photos interspersed with the sliced in fims of Leonov training for it.

The Basset became kind of aggressive following me to the door. I asked the old timer and he said Oh he's fine he wont bother you. On my very next trip that Hound jumped up and nipped me in the ass. He was a pretty cool dog. From across the street I heard a German Shepherd barking when I looked down I saw the culprit Basset Hound....

There are such creatures as flamboyant straight men. At this late date, I think the concept of "gaydar" is actually about pressuring those men to be gay. Gene Kelly openly said he wanted to make dancing a thing straight men could still do. I think it was much better for society when sodomy carried a stigma and so people naturally were reluctant to make an accusation without proof.

Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park" is a banger. Family favorite. A bunch of her stuff is great.

My father was a HUGE disco fan. Used 4/4 time and pre-rock and roll dance steps he learned were still valid. After my parents divorced, he lived his best life.

I only recently learned that he ended up marrying my stepmother because after he got tired of the hottest chick in the dating pool, she was next in line.

Disco was a plague. My best memories was watching the disco clubs fall one by one and get taken taken over by the metal heads in the very very early 80's. We swept them clean and they became metal clubs. Dozens and dozens of them with metal bands playing 7 nights a week. It was fucking glorious.

American Carnage: Sanctuary City Rapes, Decarceration Slaughters

Democrats pretend crime is just something that happens and that it's not fair to blame them for it.

But all of these crimes are the direct, inevitable, and easily-predictable consequences of the policies they choose, not just random events.

A deranged homeless man barred from entering Atlanta's public transportation stabbed an innocent 66-year-old woman 20 times for no reason, killing her.

Is it "public" transportation if the people actually paying for it can't use it because state-sponsored Droogs will murder them if they board?

One preventable slaughter after another.

A chilling, apparently random stabbing on a MARTA train leaves a 66-year-old woman dead
A 25-year-old man has been charged with murder after police say he stabbed a woman to death on an Atlanta commuter train in an apparently random attack.

It's not "random" any longer. It is, as the Joker says, "all part of the plan."

John Elijah Matthews was arrested around noon on Saturday, moments after he stepped off the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority train at the Oakland City Station, said MARTA Police Chief Scott Kreher. First responders tried to resuscitate Margaret Swan, 66, but she died at the scene, he said.
...
Kreher said video from the train depicted an unprovoked and chilling attack on an apparent stranger, and that Swan was stabbed up to 20 times.
"There's no evidence at this time to suggest they knew each other -- this was merely a random act of violence," Kreher said.
"He walked over, stood next to her, and within 30 seconds he had killed her," using a small pocket knife, Kreher said. "He looked at her, didn't say anything to her, pulled out a knife."
Other people were on the train at the time, Kreher said, but the suspect did not approach any of them.
"He finished attacking her, and he just stood there and waited for the train to stop in Oakland City. He got off the train car, went over on the platform, and just sat down. He didn't even try to run or hide," Kreher said.

Why should he? He's been protected by the anti-human state all his life. Why should he expect this time to be different?

This Solid Citizen and Cultural Enrichment Officer was supposedly "permanently banned" from Atlanta's public transportation system. What does that matter, when you don't prosecute fare-evaders? It's easy to jump the turnstiles.

To get banned from a subway, you need to have had many contacts with the police.

But the Decarceration Agenda made sure he was free to menace and murder at will.

Horrific video taken by passengers of the slain woman lying on a train floor splattered with blood here.

The police are refusing to release video. Why would they? The Regime doesn't want the proles to see their handiwork.

🚨#BREAKING: Police have identified the man who st*bbed a woman to de*th on a public train in Atlanta.

His name is John Elijah Matthews, a Black male.

— Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) June 1, 2026

It gets worse: No one helped her.

Some of them were too afraid, and some of them might have done something -- but they know the Regime will destroy anyone who interferes with the Regime's agenda.

🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!!

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

Meanwhile, ICE is pleading with "moderate Democrat" Abigail Spanberger not to release an illegal alien rapist.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is urging Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) to make sure an illegal alien, accused of raping a teen girl, stays locked up in jail rather than being released back into the community.
Cristian Romario Saenz-Argueta, a 31-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador, was arrested in Prince William County, Virginia, on May 26 and charged with one count of rape by force, threat, or intimidation, and two counts of carnal knowledge of a child between the ages of 13 and 14.
According to police, Saenz-Argueta used social media to contact a girl who was under 15 years old, portraying himself as 18 years old. Police allege that in November of last year, Saenz-Argueta met up with the young girl in a parking lot and sexually assaulted her.
"This sick illegal alien from El Salvador now faces three felony charges for raping a girl under the age of 15," the Department of Homeland Security's Lauren Bis said.

It just keeps happening:

Incase you missed this one�

An illegal immigrant was arrested in Virginia for rape, and instead of being deported or hanged, he was released due to sanctuary policies. He immediately sexually assaulted another woman.

Put the judge who released him in jail. https://t.co/QzAKVDHeAt

Man Who Attacked Jewish Couple in Santa Monica Faces Minimal Charges, No Hate Crime Enhancement

After allegedly stalking a couple in Santa Monica because they were wearing Star of David necklaces, threatening to kill them, and commanding his dog to bite one of them, a suspect was charged on Thursday – but not with a hate crime modifier, upsetting the victims’ advocates.

...

Tar allegedly threatened to kill the couple. “You’re a Zionist, mother f**king pedophile, mother f**king Jewish,” the 49-year-old Illinois man said from his vehicle while waving a bat through the window, according to a video of the incident published by Basire. “Child killer!”…

27 I was in Atlanta one time. I needed to get downtown from Buckhead and I axed the hotel front desk, all colored folks, if I could catch the MARTA. They all shook they heads and said "No, we can call you a private car or taxi?". I axed them why? Why not be riding MARTA? They said "Don't you know what MARTA stands for?" I says "No".

Much laughter...Never ride MARTA. The private car that picked me up was driven by, it gets better, a muslim from Pokeestan. I axed him if he rode "MARTA". He said "No!"

He then axed me "Don't you know what MARTA stands for?".

This was in 2006.

78 Years ago I worked in downtown ATL and rode MARTA to work every day for 3 years. Young black men wearing hoodies and saggy pants regularly offered me their seats. But there was one scary incident where a black guy trying to peddle something got pissed because no one was buying. He started a crazy rant about the "black economy" or something. If he had stayed on at the next stop I was ready to jump off. It didn't escalate on this occasion but I was scared.

I was usually riding the east-west line coming in from around Decatur, so not the worst area(s) of Metro ATL.

I never went to the Five Points station alone though. That was one place that scared the stuffing out of me.

And the library I worked in had 3 armed robberies in the space of a few weeks.

Reminds me of another libtard I know who owns an EV and, when she was asked about the huge (and, for some, unbearable) cost of replacing the battery, she said "Well, it's not my problem, I'll have sold it by then."

128 DEI explains why 67 people had to DIE in that collision of the Army helicopter with the cargo plane over the Potomac last December. The pilot was a woman officer who had been promoted for DEI political reasons under Biden. She basically wasn’t going to let some man air traffic controller tell her how to fly her helicopter. Same goes for her male warrant officer co-pilot. He should have taken over control of the helicopter when she refused to divert, but if he had, he would have shot his career out of the sky by doing so. She was a commissioned officer. He only had a warrant. With tragedy averted, she could have put him up on charges. Of course, in hindsight, that beats dying (and everyone else dying), but without a crash what could be proven?

Voter Fraud. People don't vote for their mother 90-10. And inner cities are notorious for their low participation rates.

133 My blonde airhead comment for the day. I think Hegseth is everything the military needs and more but I wish he wore better suits.

Hate to bust your bubble. OK - no, I don't.

Hegseth is a gym warrior. Nobody that is in the field for very long looks like that. Because that's not how you look if you're in the field very long. Or if you're somebody that can maintain in the field very long.

Farm Boys and Young Construction Workers are the best field soldiers. Its just biology. Least amount of maintenance - best ability to convert calories to work. And the ability to do low intensity effort all damn day. As in 16 hours a day.

Hegseth wouldn't last until noon. Nobody that looks like him can.

134 DEI explains why 67 people had to DIE in that collision of the Army helicopter with the cargo plane over the Potomac last December. The pilot was a woman officer who had been promoted for DEI political reasons under Biden. She basically wasn’t going to let some man air traffic controller tell her how to fly her helicopter. Same goes for her male warrant officer co-pilot. He should have taken over control of the helicopter when she refused to divert, but if he had, he would have shot his career out of the sky by doing so. She was a commissioned officer. He only had a warrant. With tragedy averted, she could have put him up on charges. Of course, in hindsight, that beats dying (and everyone else dying), but without a crash what could be proven?

Virginia Judge: It's Unconstititional To Ban That a Repeat Convicted Child Sex Offender from Loitering Outside a Children's Swimming Pool

The judge is so determined to set the pedophile free to molest children that he's decided that it's "unconstitutional" to mandate that a repeat sex offender who has admitted he gets off on exposing himself to children can't, well, go into the YWMC lockers when little girls are present and expose himself.

He insists that the pedophile maintains that right, and that anyone attempting to restrict him via the sex offender registry is violating the Constitution.

You may say, well at least Virginia will appeal this ruling.

Except the guy appealing it will be the incompetent DEI disaster Jay Jones who proudly wishes for his political opponents' children to be murdered.

Even if he were to appeal it legitimately and not deliberately tank it -- he'd wind up tanking it, because he's an incompetent who only has his position and his law degree due to DEI and white guilt.

This is where we are now -- pedophiles have a right to go into your children's locker rooms and show them their dick and balls.

Registered sex offender Richard Cox is facing charges in Arlington County for exposing himself to women and girls in school locker rooms, but the case was thrown out by an Arlington County Circuit Court judge.
For months in 2024, Cox used women's locker rooms in Fairfax County and Arlington County. Those two counties allow people to use bathrooms and locker rooms based on their chosen gender identity.
Cox claims he's a transgender woman.
"My civil rights as a transgender person allow me to use a public facility, including restrooms and changing rooms that identify as my gender," Cox can be heard saying to Fairfax County police in November 2024 on a police body-worn camera that 7News obtained.
Although Fairfax County police never arrested the registered sex offender for exposing himself to women and girls in rec center locker rooms throughout the county, Arlington County police did.
In 2024, Cox used women's locker rooms in two high schools and a county fitness center in Arlington.
For that, the Arlington Commonwealth's Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti's office indicted the sex offender for loitering within 100 feet of schools and child swim and gymnastics classes, and exposing himself to women and girls in the locker rooms.
Cox asked a judge for the indictments to be dismissed and that's what happened.
Judge Daniel Lopez ruled the Virginia law under which Cox is being prosecuted void for vagueness under the Fourteenth Amendment.
...
The judge's core reasoning is that the statute criminalizes "loitering" within 100 feet of schools and child day programs by some convicted sex offenders, but does not define "loitering" or give standards for when it becomes a felony.

Loitering has a long-established legal meaning -- it means contriving to remain present at a place without having any legitimate business there. If you are barred by law from entering a child's swimming center, you cannot hang around the doors waiting for kids to come out. Because, what is your legitimate business at this place? You have none. You are barred from entry. Why are you there, then?

This is a significant ruling because it not only found an issue with how the statute was applied to Cox. It says the statute itself is constitutionally defective.
The Arlington prosecutor disagrees with the judge's decision and appealed.
The Court of Appeals accepted the case, and now Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones will represent the commonwealth on appeal.

Great.

For now, everything in the Arlington trial court is on hold.
Separately, Cox was recently convicted by a jury for possessing child pornography, which Arlington police found when they arrested him at Barcroft Sports and Fitness Center.

He brought the child porn to the children's locker rooms. Great.

Meanwhile, in Fairfax County, Cox is charged with sexually assaulting a woman in 1988.
"I want to see justice served," the victim told 7News Reporter Nick Minock.

Note he's been a rapist and a child sexual material offender from before he "became transgender."

Completely unrelated:

He may be the Communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, but when the cameras are off, the real Hasan Piker is shallow and sex-driven, sources claim.
Although he recently debuted a more serious image, donning spectacles and suits for his broadcasts, those close to the 34-year-old told The Post he's still a pervy, porn-obsessed frat boy -- impulses they say get in the way of him ever realizing his goal of making it in the mainstream.
"Off camera he is very stiff and impersonal. I can't tell how much of what he says he actually believes. He definitely leverages it to creep on women," a former pal told The Post.
Sources noted Piker regularly boasts about receiving nude photos from fans and how he claims to watch porn on a laptop dedicated to that purpose propped up on his chest so he can "still see" his penis.
Piker -- who this week was banned from speaking in the UK over his extreme left-wing views -- was born in New Jersey but grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, from where his parents hail.
Sources told The Post the Piker family is wealthy, but aside from a picture of a younger Hasan on a horse in full riding gear, which he himself posted, few details of his early life are known. He has said he grew up "horny in a repressed culture," until his dad allegedly helped him dodge the mandatory Turkish military draft so he could attend college in the US.
At age 18 in 2009, Piker came to Miami, where after "partying too hard" and scoring a dismal grade point average of just 2.9, his mother, �lker Sedef Piker, made him transfer to Rutgers, where she had studied art history.
Piker joined a fraternity, Theta Delta Chi, and thoroughly embraced the frat boy lifestyle. In 2012, he wrote on Twitter: "The Bible for our senior year ... 30 reasons to go for freshman chicks," with a link to a sexually explicit article on TotalFratMove.com. He graduated the following year with a degree in political science.
Piker loved the college lifestyle so much that when he moved to Los Angeles after college, he aimed to start a Theta Delta Chi frat house there. However, he instead went to work for his uncle, Cenk Uygur, at the Young Turks, an independent left-wing broadcast network.
Enjoying his first taste of being a nepo baby, Piker was heavily promoted on the channel and his show "The Breakdown" became a success, leading to him gaining the title "woke bae" around the network.

Piker has admitted going to a brothel in Germany called "Artemis."

The Artemis whorehouse engages in sex trafficking and sexual imprisonment.

Prostitution is legal in Germany but police charge that the four-storey brothel complex constituted a "brutal and illegal" system that severely exploited dependent women.

Probably just bad luck that he chose this brothel out of Germany's many brothels.

61 Both of his parents are Turkish nationals. His father, Mehmet Behçet Piker, is highly active in Turkey, having served as an executive for the Turkish conglomerate Sabancı Holding and as a founding member of the Turkish Future Party.

I dunno. He's been trying to both up his image (Cuba trip, attempts to join riots, england) and use his hangers on to attack other streamers. Its kind of fascinating.

He has a huge self opinion but also has one of the most massive inferiority complexes I have ever seen. I think the 'champagne socialist' charge really got to him, so he is trying his hand at being either a mover and Shaker or a figurehead.

69 How long until an abusive husband shows up at his wife's battered women's shelter, claims tranny, and a judge decides he legally can't be excluded from the battered women's shelter?

Posted by: bonhomme at June 03, 2026 05:48 PM (mkw2N)

I volunteered at one years ago. Four times over my tenure there, husbands found the shelter and showed up, literally guns blazing. Did not care who was in range, because if they were helping his beaten-to-a- crap spouse and children, they were bad people. This ruling, if it is not shut down ASAP, will allow what you just described, and it will be horrendous.

153 I'll never understand the sympathy and understanding extended to pedophiles.

Its the same reason why Affluent White Women support abortion. Why they support all manner of shit.

Because they hope that their kids or husband or siblings never make that mistake. But if they do ? Affluent White Women want to know that there is a way out of that.

158 Women are brutal to lower-status men, and that apparently includes Hasan Piker. They will overlook and lie to themselves about a hot guy's character, personality, and life prospects to rationalize and justify riding his dick, if that's what they want; but on the flip side, if he's actually a Fat Kid On A Pony on the inside, they will see right through the muscles and suit. And Bridget Phetasy has branded Piker as having Eternal Fat Kid Energy, regardless of what he looks like now.

The U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday evening allowed Alabama to use a 2023 congressional map, reversing a lower court’s ruling that repeatedly deemed the map racially discriminatory.

In an unsigned 6-3 decision on the case known as Allen v. Milligan, the court wrote that the lower court’s map would not be “more convenient” for Alabama than the congressional map the Legislature passed in 2023.

Democrats Nominate Al Qaeda and Hamas-Linked Advocate for the WTC Bombing Mastermind for Congress

January 6th protesters stole a chair and a coat-rack so MAGA must be purged.

Meanwhile, Democrats are electing actual Al Qaeda terrorists.

This cannot go on. And the good/bad news is-- it will not.

Via David Strom:

@joelmowbray
BREAKING -- A protege of the Jihadist behind the World Trade Center bombing, Adam Hamawy, has been declared the WINNER of the Dem primary in the solid Blue district.
Hamawy's mentor was Omar Abdel Rahman, known as the Blind Sheikh, who was close with Osama bin Laden.
...
Because it was such a crowded field, Hamawy got thru with just over a quarter of the vote. And since the district is very blue (61% for Kamala), this unrepentant Islamist will join Congress -- unless national Democrats can somehow force him aside.

They won't. They're all in. The Communists and Terrorists have, get this, joined forces.

NJ Dems are poised to elect to Congress Adam Hamawy, a follower & friend of the radical Imam who helped inspired 9/11.

Hamawy's primary in solid blue NJ-12 is today.

Some good news from beckster: One of Gavin Newsom's gerrymandered seats just backfired.

Apparently -- remember, the Third World State of California takes weeks to count votes so who knows what the Mail-In Votes from Somalia will show.

But assuming that current vote totals are indicative of the Somali Mail-In vote...

Rather than producing a Democrat, the new seat will produce either a Republican or a former Republican who switched to "Indpendent" just for this race who caucuses with Republicans.

Because those two men made it through the jungle primary and now face each other in the general.

Gavin Newsom's own gerrymander may have just backfired spectacularly.
California's 6th Congressional district -- that was recently "redrawn" by Newsom to help Democrats -- now has an independent and a Republican in the top two spots to advance in the primary.
CNN: "California's 6th Congressional district right now, this is one of the districts that was redrawn because Democrats thought it would be a good pickup opportunity."
"Kevin Kiley is the incumbent. He's an independent now, but he was a Republican, and he's definitely not a Democrat."
"And the first two people in this race right now, and the top two advance, are the independent and the Republicans, NOT the Democrat."
"Still, only 50% counted right now. But how nervous are Democrats here that they might be boxed out of this district they DREW as a pickup?"
This might go down as one of Newsom's most brutal self-inflicted owns of all time.

Gavin Newsom�s own gerrymander may have just backfired spectacularly.

26 I think this issue of a gerrymandered district "backfiring" is a live one, not just in CA-6. Depending on the electorate of a given area, in order to draw D+ districts sometimes requires some pretty slim "+" margins. Which of course don't hold in some cycles.

Those following things closely would have details. I think VA's abortive redistricting actually contained 2 to 3 very slim/dicey "D+" districts (this is what can happen when a 53-47 state is supposed to be represented by 10-1 ratio in the House, or whatever it was).

34 I wouldn't hold your breath......... while 55% of the vote from republican Placer County is in...... only about 42% of the votes from Sacramento County are in....... plenty of opportunity for the Democrats to dump a bunch of ballots to miraculously push the democrat to the top of the heap. I voted for the republican, who I never heard from or of before the election...... I was turned off by Kiley's game playing changing from Republican to Independent......and some of his baffling votes over the last couple of years.

Posted by: SpeakingOf at June 03, 2026 04:43 PM (6ydKt)

36 Get used to this sort of thing. The Islamists share a lot of ideology with the Democrats. And not every Muslim who washes up on our shores is interested in Lerning Centers or making bombs.

Some have political aspirations. And they can do far more damage to the American fabric than running some bullshit racket stealing the taxpayers money than actively moving the political party they join more to their liking.

And it's not a major pull to get the Democrats squarely on the Islamist's side. The left's takeover of America continues apace. Everywhere. All. The. Time.

Those following things closely would have details. I think VA's abortive redistricting actually contained 2 to 3 very slim/dicey "D+" districts (this is what can happen when a 53-47 state is supposed to be represented by 10-1 ratio in the House, or whatever it was).

126 Here's a little something I bet you didn't know about New Jersey:

For the last couple of decades they have stockpiled blood from all newborns born in the state. They, then, held onto these blood samples for 23 years, AND FREELY SHARED THESE SAMPLES WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT-STATE AND FEDERAL without a warrant. This was all done covertly until it was discovered by a clerk and word got out.

The still are allowed to stockpile these blood samples for a long as 10 years (after the lawsuits)....and they still share with law enforcement under more strict guidelines (IOW, at their discretion)...and still don't require a warrant. So, if you were born in NJ in the last 3 decades, you are in the DNA database. And, there is an indication that this process began as long as 50 years ago.

136 So news today, afterwards.

New Jersey Monitor, 12th District Democrats trade barbs over candidate’s ties to the ‘blind sheikh,' published May 27th.

In part,"Hamawy brushed off his connection to Abdel Rahman as minimal and decades-old news. He said he was young when he first encountered the blind cleric in 1991, and remembers carpooling with him and others on one occasion. Hamawy said he testified at the man’s trial out of a sense of “a civic duty.”
...
"Hamawy, who was born in Egypt and moved here as a child, maintains he had no relationship with Abdel Rahman."

“Any Muslim is going to be called a terrorist at some point, and these tropes are outdated and worn. Unfortunately, they continue to be used right now,” he said. “These are not serious arguments, and they’re getting old.”

Reading all is recommended.

Also> FBI History, WTC bombing 1993.

(Note) Formerly a resident of New York City, Abdel-Rahman and nine others were convicted of seditious conspiracy in 1995.[1] His prosecution grew out of investigations of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. (Wikipedia)

139 Does it really matter who holds NJ-12? Or any deep blue district? No matter who it is, or what it is, the vote will always be the same: 100% Dumocrap party line.

The winner of NJ-12 could be a literal Hamas terrorist holding a pipe bomb. Or a Jewish guy holding a Star of David. Or a black guy. Or an AWFuL. Or Harambe or Cecil the lion. Or a cum stain seeping out of Talarico’s asshole.

It just doesn’t matter. There will be no effect whatsoever on how NJ-12 votes. If anything, having a literal terrorist on the ballot might depress overall voting and maybe we pick up a seat here or there.

147 It's not a completely new thing but the whole policy of members of Congress having automatic investigation-free security clearances really really needs to be revisited.

Then again, after the jaw-dropping thing of the IC snooping on the Senate intel committee, and then that committee's members leaking/coordinating nonsense to (of course) hurt Trump - all of these things without consequences - there are no standards or discipline or honor or anything any more. So whatever. I would think savvy substantive briefers would already long ago have stopped being straight or honest with the Hill.

156 think this issue of a gerrymandered district "backfiring" is a live one, not just in CA-6. Depending on the electorate of a given area, in order to draw D+ districts sometimes requires some pretty slim "+" margins. Which of course don't hold in some cycles.

Those following things closely would have details. I think VA's abortive redistricting actually contained 2 to 3 very slim/dicey "D+" districts (this is what can happen when a 53-47 state is supposed to be represented by 10-1 ratio in the House, or whatever it was).
Posted by: rhomboid

This is also the case in Florida. A lot of the redrawn “red” districts are very slim red. And based off 2024 votes. In 2026 some these could well be blue if just a small % of 2024 voters switch.

It’s easy to make Mass 9-0 because there are only 9 seats. But with a state as big as Florida (both geographically and population wise) or California there’s only so much juice you can squeeze out of gerrymandering before it starts backfiring.

Joe Biden's Childhood Stutter Crashes Doctor Jill's Book Promotion to Ask Her How Much She Loves Him

The childhood stutter flares up from time to time, resulting in dementia.

Former President Joe Biden crashed his wife Jill's debut book talk Tuesday, stealing her spotlight to bizarrely ask the former first lady whom she loves the most in a cringe-inducing moment before aides could cut him off.
Jill Biden had been wrapping up a Q&A about her newly released book, "A View from the East Wing," with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side when Biden, 83, left his seat in the audience and wandered up to the edge of the stage.
Goldberg had read a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service, and Jill, 75, stood up to give her husband a standing ovation when the ex-president's seemingly unplanned speech began.
"I have a question," Biden said unprompted, and without a microphone, while flanked by security guards.
"Joe has a question, like you couldn't ask it later?" Jill responded.

"Who do you love most in the whole world?" Biden enquired.

Christmas, this is embarrassing.

"Whoopi," Jill answered, causing the audience to break into laughter.
As "The View" co-host tried to speak, Biden continued to stand and blankly face his wife, seemingly unhappy with her answer.
The former first lady eventually caved and said, "I love you most, Joe. Was that it? Was that the answer he wanted?"
"It's overwhelming, isn't it?" the 46th president continued -- barely audible without a microphone.
"Overwhelming, well, that's what keeps him on his toes, he's never 100% sure, I always keep him guessing, is that not true?" Jill said as her husband lowered his head and made the sign of the cross.
In an attempt to end the bizarre moment and wrap up the event, Goldberg encouraged the audience to purchase Jill's new book. But Biden remained standing and pointed his finger as the exit music played.

"My book...," Joe Biden began before a crew member came from backstage to hand him a microphone. "My book, which comes out in September, read it..."
"Do I have to remind him that this is my event?" Jill asked jokingly.
"The only thing that Jill does better than write, she's a beautiful woman," Biden declared before the event finally concluded.

Her vagina goes "vroom, vroom." You should hear it.

Thanks to beckster.

Is this dementia? Maybe, maybe not. Biden has always been an incredible jackass. He believes he's a charming raconteur and keen Irish wit. He babbles on about Corn Pop and his days as an All-American Football Hero and thinks the audience is rapt.

He's always been a subnormal-IQ buffoon.

So this isn't new. He thinks he's really accomplishing something here. And he would have thought the same thing 40 years ago.

As a self-conscious person, I cannot even imagine the incredible freedom of a being such a colossal boor completely lacking in self-awareness, self-scrutiny, shame, or embarrassment.

Biden told the crowd a 92Y last night that his book is coming out in September before the midterms.

I'm sure the Democrats will love that.

Question: What percentage of the Democrat Party do you believe is praying to their Dark Lord Satan for Joe Biden's speedy demise?

You know, Democrats may hate the Bidens' continued insistence on being feted, but Democrats also PROMISED Joe Biden that if he withdrew from the race he's be feted by the party for eternity as the Man Who Loved Democracy So Much He Sacrificed Himself to Save It.

How do they reconcile that?

Oh right -- they were lying. Of course.

I guess that wasn't such a puzzler, was it? No Ace of Spades Klue Krew points for me.

33 Addendum to my last. Actually, I went back and looked AFTER posting that.

Biden 2008 vs 2012 is a big difference. His face is stretched like the Joker.

But then in 2016 he looks closer to "slightly older version of 2008" Biden.

Then in 2020 he looks like "slightly older version of 2012 Biden"

Then in 2024 he looks like death.

Gavin Newsom’s own gerrymander may have just backfired spectacularly.

California’s 6th Congressional district — that was recently “redrawn” by Newsom to help Democrats — now has an independent and a Republican in the top two spots to advance in the primary.

CNN: “California’s 6th Congressional district right now, this is one of the districts that was redrawn because Democrats thought it would be a good pickup opportunity.”

“Kevin Kiley is the incumbent. He’s an independent now, but he was a Republican, and he’s definitely not a Democrat.”

“And the first two people in this race right now, and the top two advance, are the independent and the Republicans, NOT the Democrat.”

“Still, only 50% counted right now. But how nervous are Democrats here that they might be boxed out of this district they DREW as a pickup?”

This might go down as one of Newsom’s most brutal self-inflicted owns of all time.

75 I was at a Catholic Mass at St. Joseph’s on the Brandywine way back in the early ‘90s whilst visiting a buddy in the Wilmington area. Joe Biden was at the mass. It was a cringefest watching him hold court with the Monsignor and other bigwigs after Mass was over. Biden has always been an insufferable turd.

We were also annoyed that he received Communion considering his awful abortion record.

168 Biden talked about stuttering routinely, forever.

The Stuttering Foundation, 2015

(In part) During a CNN town hall, President Joe Biden discussed stuttering. Here are some of his remarks from the event:

"It has nothing to do with your intelligence quotient. It has nothing to do with your intellectual makeup," Biden said. "You know, stuttering, when you think about it, is the only handicap that people still laugh about. That still humiliate people about. And they don't even mean to."

The President credited his mother when it came to not letting his stutter define him. He said his mother would tell him, "Joey, don't let this define you. Joey, remember who you are. Joey, you can do it. So every time I would walk out, she would reinforce me. I know that sounds silly, but it really matters."

An inspiration, he is.

The wife of the judge that just ordered Trump's name be removed from the Trump-Kennedy Center is arguing that, since Joe was such a good boy and cooperated with Hur, there is no reason to release the audio tapes.

At about 11:30pm - Midnight, Harris released a comment from campaign headquarters (Trump was running the table quite obviously at the time). Harris said that she was optimistic, and they'd look at it again around 3am to decide where we are. IOW, the fraud should be doing exactly what it did for Biden in 2020, come from behind shennanigans across the board. ONLY, the fraud never kicked in. I think there are a number of reasons for this (such as the Trump campaign learned to stop whining about the cheating and address it directly when it appears)...so they called off the big cheat in the wee hours.

The Bidens thought it was business as usual, and were surprised that Trump won the next morning...not out of optimism, but out of preparation.

190 Of course! From the Daily Caller:

Former First Lady Jill Biden appeared to admit in her memoir that she knew about Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel before her husband, the then-president of the United States did.

The former first lady released her memoir on Tuesday detailing her time in the White House with former President Joe Biden. On the morning of the Oct. 7 attack in the Middle East, the former first lady writes that an aide texted her asking if her husband was awake because he needed to jump on a call with the National Security Council.

“Then, very early on the morning of Saturday, October 7, 2023, I was grading midterms when the staff texted me and asked if Joe was up yet – he had to get on the phone with the National Security Council,” Biden writes.

------------------

Former First Lady Jill Biden appeared to admit in her memoir that she knew about Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel before her husband, the then-president of the United States did.

The former first lady released her memoir on Tuesday detailing her time in the White House with former President Joe Biden. On the morning of the Oct. 7 attack in the Middle East, the former first lady writes that an aide texted her asking if her husband was awake because he needed to jump on a call with the National Security Council.

Obama and Pelosi carefully planned out the 2024 coup - Biden was going to be forced to withdraw from the Presidential race, and then the Democrats were going to conduct a "mini-primary" to replace Kamala with someone electable.

Joe screwed that up by immediately endorsing Kamala as his replacement, making it impossible to replace Kamala with a white guy like Barack and Nancy were planning.

Joe deliberately f***ed over the Democrats as revenge for Barack and Nancy's perfidy.

California Primary Results

Although California will take days or weeks to full tabulate the " " " votes " " ", it appears that Karen Bass will take about 35% of the vote, Spencer Pratt will take 30%, and communist carpetbagger foreigner Nithya Raman 22%.

That means that Bass and Pratt will go on to the general election, which will be held on November 3rd.

Unless Karen Bass's fraudulent vote elves can print up enough fake votes to get her over 50%, in which case she wins immediately. But I think that's too big a lift even for the Democrat fraudsters of the Home of "Ballot Harvesting," California.

Ugh:

Byron York
@ByronYork
54m
At the moment we have 58% of the votes counted in the California governor's race and 63% counted in the LA mayor's race. From NYT: "Most Californians vote by mail, and ballots postmarked on or before Election Day have one week to arrive. In the 2024 primary, about half of results were reported by 5 a.m. Eastern time the day after the election. It took 10 days before 95 percent of results were reported."

Assuming they can't "harvest" enough "votes" to get to 50%...

When I saw those numbers, my first thought was "that's terrible, that means the communist vote is 52% combined and Spencer Pratt will lose."

However...

Karen Bass is the incumbent and could not manage but a tiny bit more than one third support.

An incumbent with 35% support is an incumbent in trouble. Not all of Nithya Raman's voters will migrate to Bass -- after all, they're choosing against the obvious leftwing candidate, the incumbent, for a reason.

Also... the fact that we've established that the total universe for votes for leftwing candidates is right around 52% is bad news for Bass. That's her ceiling. It's a low ceiling.

Regarding the governor's race: the top two vote-getters were Obama/Biden non-entity and incompetent Xavier Bercerra and British FoxNews populist commentator Steve Hilton. Deranged billionaire Tom Steyr and Republican sheriff Chad Bianco finished beneath them. Given that there are still votes to count, and anything can happen in a Democrat-controlled 5th Quarter of voting, it's possible that either of those two could slip into the top two.

There have been reports that Xavier Bercerra used dubious means such as bots to boost the impression that he was the front-runner. It seems to have worked, and there's nothing to be done about that now. But bots aren't going to put him over the top in the general election -- that will require real fraudulent votes.

Other Democrats have already conceded defeat, including college teacher and the Native American demonic Spirit of Ravening Hunger, Fat Wendigo Katie Porter.

I don't think Bass or Bercerra will wear well over the next five months.

🚨 WOW! Spencer Pratt just ADVANCED to a runoff mayoral election in LA after Karen Bass gets barely a THIRD of the vote

Pratt is currently over 30%, 2nd place! 🔥👏🏻

8 An incumbent with 35% support is an incumbent in trouble.

======

It's true.

Sort of like Cornyn in Texas.

However, Los Angeles.

I don't think the point of Pratt's run in LA is to win. I mean...he seems to think he can do it, and all the best to him. However, I think the point is to break the cognitive dissonance of the middle and lower-upper classes in the city.

"I don't know anyone who voted for Bass...and she won. That doesn't make sense."

I think best case scenario out of CA this year is enough Republicans make enough statewide and large city ballots to juice Republican turnout statewide. This will make winning federal House races easier and, perhaps more importantly, state legislature races.

76 Narrator: Bass will win with over 60% of the vote in November.

A lot of sane people who would vote for Pratt left LA long ago. Those who remain are the biggest believers in all the left wing shit and/or vote by race/ethnicity. Blacks will vote 99.98% Bass and Hispanics will mostly vote against the evil white man. Then you have the Karens and Hollywood types who think a Republican will put all gays in concentration camps.

81 Ace, the LA Mayor's race is set: It will be Bass vs Spencer.

Earlier last night, Spencer was midway between Bass and Raman, vote-wise, and pundits were hoping that Raman cukld catch up to Spencer.

Oops.

As the votes rolled in, the opposite happened -- Spencer started gaining on Bass, and leaving Raman in the dust.

If this trend continues to the final vote is counted, Spencer will actually come in FIRST, not second.

That probably won;'t happen, and is a moot point anyway, but by the morning it was almost 100% lock-solid clear that Spencer was heading to the runoff, as Raman fades.

89 6 I think there's a good chance they can and will fraud up enough votes to get the deformed frog-faced retard over 50% to win outright. I don't think they want to run any kind of risk that Pratt somehow wins on election day.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at June 03, 2026 02:35 PM (iFTx/)

I respectfully disagree. As I have observed in Oregon, the infighting between leftists can be fierce -- some because they're fighting for a bigger slice of the grift (and they would cut a bitch over a fiver found on the pavement), others because they're true believers (and their politics is basically a crypto-religious cult). No doubt Raman's supporters on the inside of the election fraud machine will fall in line for the general, but I can't picture them folding and rolling over before it's over.

90 I will say this, this is the last election where CA will be able to count ballots received after Election Day.

yes, I know DOOM is mother's milk around here, but I just don't see any way SCOTUS allows post-election ballots to be counted.

Do I think CA will say, "yeah, but that only applies to federal elections."

Yes. And then SCOTUS will issue shadow docket that, if CA wants to do that, they'll have to send out separate ballots for state and local elections, apart from the fed ballot.

Will CA go full retard and do that?
Probably.

Maybe point out the fraud that could have been spent on women's shelters? Show what Blacks and Hispanics have to endure (Echo Park is an atrocity) while they fan themselves over a leisurely Frappuccino? Bring a few genuine Inner City dwellers with them to lay down some facts?

Bass will have to govern at least a teeny bit more sensibly .. if the top two were the commie ladies, that would have been it for LA. it would have been donesies

======

I have no hope that Hilton or Pratt will win the generals, but it should be noted that turnout is very different in the primary and the general.

About 7 million voted in the gubernatorial primary in 2022 and about 11 million voted in the general.

Newsom slightly outran his primary results, but he was also an incumbent.

Will the general include increased enthusiasm from Republicans who feel like they have more than just a sacrificial lamb in major races?

I'd say it'll probably be enough to make it closer but...Democrats still win both races by at least 10 or so as opposed to 20.

Well, the point wasn't to give hope about California (CA voters need to do more than vote to get their way out of that mess by this point), but to poke fun at people who use unpredictive measures to try and predict the midterms.

So many times over the last few months have I see, "Republicans don't turn out! See this results in this state-house special election on a Saturday in the snow? It's obvious that Republicans aren't enthused and won't turn out!"

But then when Republicans do turn out at higher numbers proportionally, it gets ignored.

Why do we have people focusing on the latter and not the former?

(For the record...neither are predictive. I'm just noting the selective choice of what to focus on in comments that betray anything like objective measures, even when people are trying to make it seem like they use objective measures.)

the Oregon law proposes to outlaw pest control
PEST CONTROL

Posted by: Don Black

Holy 🐄! Initiative Petition 28 (IP 2

, also known as the PEACE Act, is a proposed ballot measure that would -
Criminalize traditional farming, ranching, livestock breeding, and meat processing; redefine catching fish or crabs as illegal animal injury or slaughter; outlaw the targeting of game animals across public and private lands, and restrict common practices used to manage rodents and other animal pests.

The Oregon Farm Bureau says most concerning for agriculture, IP28 would redefine “sexual assault” to include routine animal breeding practices across all species and even domestic companion animals.

Source: Beef Magazine

The campaign backing the measure submitted over 120,000 signatures to the Oregon Secretary of State, surpassing the 117,173 valid signatures required for it to qualify for the November 2026 ballot. The signatures are currently undergoing verification.

The bill does not entirely ban all animal interactions; it retains narrow exceptions strictly for self-defense and veterinary care.

It isn't even that they are foreign born so much. OK, that's a big part of it as they are used to the tribal / corrupt / squalor that Bass provides.

But another big part is that something like 70% of the city is on the dole of one form or another. They don't give a shit about taxes or regulations as they are immune.

214 There's something pathological about crying in public because you lost an election. Disturbing, even.

It's not like you got turned down after a proposal. It's not even like a job interview, and you didn't get the job.

You put yourself forward as an option for the people to choose, for a definitionally temporary term in office. They have no obligation to choose you, and you have no right to expect to be chosen.

Being emotionally unsettled because you lost an election means you were, and are, completely unfit for public office of any kind.

219 I think turn-out will be the difference in the run-offs. At this point, if your are a conservative in California (or even a right leaning voter/ middle of the road)...you're likely going to sit out the primary thinking "we're already f*cked...there is no hope".

But, lo and behold, the primary results are showing a spark of hope. That gets previously hopeless sad sacks a bit of a jump start. I would be surprised to see the turn-out in the next step of these elections setting records....especially in the Governor's race. LA is a closed society where the idiots outnumber the semi-idiots by a significant number.

The flip side of that coin is that she can only control the venues in the city of Los Angeles, and it may be a disaster even with Pratt at the helm.

Scorned Woman Pelley Shrieks Out

Adam Klasfeld
@KlasfeldReports
Scott Pelley is the face of the highest-rated newsmagazine on TV, and every "60 Minutes" staffer in the room reportedly gave him a standing ovation after this exchange.
The idea that Bari Weiss can blithely fire him without also committing institutional arson is naive.
Pelley did this because he has integrity-- but also because he has power.

Does he though...?

Dylan Byers
@DylanByers
#SCOOP: Scott Pelley had a meeting with CBS News leadership at 5pm ET to discuss a path forward after his protest in 60 Minutes all-hands. The two sides did not find common ground and it now seems likely he will either resign or be fired, though neither has happened yet.

He was given a standing ovation by the other communist cultists in the room, which they were eager to tell the media that they were sure Nick Bilton could hear as he was walking away.

John Ondrasik
@johnondrasik
The fact that every staffer stood and applauded is further proof that 60 minutes needs a full tear down.

And now: the bitch has been fired.

And I mean fired. CBS didn't just let his contract lapse without renewal, which they were obviously already planning to do.

Fired for cause, invalidating whatever time is left on his contract, and ending their obligation to pay him under it.

Gross insubordination is almost always a cause for a firing under the terms of a contract, and CBS exercised their right to fire for that reason.

And Pelley left them no choice. But this wasn't bravery. Again, he knew he was being let go. This flounce is all advertising for his substack and podcast, which I'm sure will be fair and objective, because that's what Scott Pelley insists he is.

CBS News axed veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday night, a day after after the longtime network star blasted editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and challenged her newly installed leadership team in a heated confrontation that exposed the widening civil war inside the iconic newsmagazine.
In a letter obtained by The Post, newly appointed "60 Minutes" executive producer Nick Bilton blasted Pelley in informing him he was fired "for cause effective immediately."
"[Y]ou hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt," Bilton wrote, referring to Monday's heated face-off between the journo and his boss.

Bilton further accused Pelley of staging a "performative display of hostility" and claimed he had "no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress."

By the way, Sex Machine Brian Stelter reported that Bilton had asked to meet with Pelley privately, before the meeting, to discuss next steps. Pelley refused to attend a private meeting, choosing instead this flouncing public tantrum.

Brian Stelter
@brianstelter
Worth noting amid all the coverage of Scott Pelley's scathing criticism today: According to a person with knowledge of the matter, Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton sought out Pelley for a private meeting last week, but the longtime correspondent did not take them up on the offer to talk.

I think Pelley refused to attend that meeting because he expected they would tell him his contract was not being renewed "but we can talk about what your role will be as we wind down the time remaining on the contract."

And I have a source for that -- the source is It's F***ing Obvious, Jack! Open your ears, Jerky!

"I am here to deliver first-in-class news programming, not to make headlines about newsroom drama," Bilton wrote.

He went on to tell Pelley: "Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear. And I have heard you."
At the meeting in question, Pelley told Bilton that the new leader had "slender" qualifications for the job and would "never be welcome here," sources previously told The Post.
Bilton fired back: "You are not going to intimidate me in front of this group of people."
The correspondent also accused Weiss of "murdering '60 Minutes'" and claimed she "was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that," according to sources familiar with the exchange.
The clash lasted roughly 15 minutes before Bilton ended the meeting and walked out.
The confrontation divided staffers at CBS News, with some insiders branding Pelley's behavior "bullying" and "grandstanding" -- and yet another reckoning that it was "a set-up," sources told The Post.

Nick Bilton had no choice. If an underling pulls bullshit like this, degrading you, undermining you, and attempting to pose as your superior, you have no choice but to fire him. Gross insubordination can't be tolerated in any organization, even as trivial and inconsequential one as television entertainment. (Which is all 60 Minutes is.)

And now -- He's quitting Twitter and he means it this time, guys!

He's written a long ranty entry in his Slam Book and he wants you all to read it!

Scott Pelley accused CBS News management under Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of trying to inject "falsehoods and bias" into reporting after the veteran correspondent was fired Tuesday.
Pelley, who spent 37 years at CBS News and became one of the most recognizable faces of "60 Minutes," leveled a series of extraordinary allegations against CBS News leadership without giving specifics.
"For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story," Pelley wrote. "I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."
Pelley claimed he repeatedly resisted those efforts.
"To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them," he said.

He also alleged that politicians had been given influence over editorial decisions.
"Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast," Pelley wrote. "Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done."

Let me translate that for you. The media decided ten years ago that Republicans were Nazis and that they could no longer report "both sides" because there are not two legitimate sides -- there is the Democrat side, and there is Evil.

Bari Weiss had previously demanded the CECOT story be held up so that she could receive comment from the targets of the hit-piece. Democrat operative Sheryl Alfonsi freaked -- You can't include comment from Trump! He is the Antichrist! His words are the lies of the Devil!

But of course getting and publishing comment or denial from the target of a hit piece had been standard ethical media practice... until ten years ago.

Bari Weiss demanded a return to the former media practice, which was still biased as hell but at least they'd include a denial at the end of the story, read with unmistakable contempt.

That's what Scott Pelley is shrieking out about -- he won't include the "lies and falsehoods" in his story, aka "the denial and comment from the Trump Administration officials he is running political hit pieces against."

Scott Pelley is so obviously a grandstanding bitch that even fired, disgraced CNN Thumb Chris Ciilizza sees through it.

Seen in the most pro-Pelley light, he chose to confront Bilton and Weiss in an all-hands gathering as a way to make his point as big and brightly as possible. Huddling behind closed doors with the bosses wouldn't properly convey his upset over the restructuring at "60 Minutes" etc etc.
Seen in a less pro-Pelley light, however, Pelley chose to do his "truth to power" thing not in hopes of actually changing anything but rather as a way to make it as performative as possible -- in a content age in which performative emotion is absolute gold.
The immediate leaking of the audio of Pelley's remarks to literally every media reporter suggests to me that the latter -- and admittedly more cynical -- explanation has real plausibility.
Because let's consider how the next few days are likely to go.
Pelley is very likely to get fired by CBS News. I mean, you can't blast both your immediate boss and your big boss and expect to keep your job. And I would assume Pelley knew that going in! Like, if/when he gets fired, he is not going to be super shocked.
And when he gets fired, Pelley will cut a video announcing he is starting a Substack where he will engage in "fearless" commentary about the capitulation of CBS (and all other media) to Trump and the almighty dollar.
And that Substack will immediately rack up lots and lots of subscribers. And Pelley will make money. Maybe lots of it. (We've seen this exact arc play out repeatedly in recent years.)

Cillizza admits that his media pals are a guild of dinosaurs who just can't accept the public has been increasingly rejecting them for ten years and that they need to change:

But there is also NO doubt that broadcast news -- and cable TV news -- are a dying product. The average age of a CBS News viewer is 62! NBC News is 57. ABC News is a "youthful" 55.
That's a problem. Because unless science figures out a way to get us all to live until we are 150, the reality is that the main clientele for what CBS News is offering -- yes, including "60 Minutes" -- is, quite literally, dying off.
Which is why I found myself vigorously nodding my head to the defense Bilton offered on Monday amid the Pelley barrage: "Broadcast is an ice cube that is melting."
YES. YES. YES.
No one -- presumably not even Pelley -- thinks that the solution to what ails big media is more of the same. Like, yes, "60 Minutes" still works! But for how long? And doesn't it make sense to look at your flagship products -- whether that's "60" or the evening news -- and say "How are we going to make this product continue to work amid massive disruption in how people want to consume content?"
To me, the answer is very obvious. Which is why Pelley's criticism -- You guys don't have decades of experience running a broadcast news division!!! -- rings false to me.
If I was Ellison -- or anyone who owns a legacy media brand -- I would want people in the decision-making room who AREN'T old hands at the thing the legacy media brand was built on. Because we know those legacy media content delivery vehicles -- linear TV, print newspapers etc. -- are dying off. And that no amount of expertise in how to make great-looking broadcast TV shows or put together a whiz-bang front page of the print newspaper is going to reverse the steep decline of people who consume their content that way.
...
But, again, the fact that neither Weiss nor Bilton have long experience in making TV seems to me more an asset than a detriment. CBS News (and every other legacy outlet) has to figure out new ways to reach people on new platforms. Why not have people -- like Weiss! -- who has done that?
Why then was there a rush to tout Pelley as a hero and Bilton and, by extension, Weiss, as the bad guy(s)?
Because I think a whole lot of journalists -- mostly tied to legacy media but also some in the independent space -- are still clinging to the idea that the way things worked up until 5-10 years ago can still work today and in the future.
They can't.
...
We've reached the "kill your darlings" stage of legacy media. The boat has already hit the iceberg. Now the only question is what we do about it. And doing the same old things -- or slight variations on the same old things -- ain't going to work.

Reminder: Scott Pelley was one of the go-to Democrat Propaganda Officers that Biden's inner circle felt would push the "return of the hitherto-unknown 'childhood stutter' which explains away Biden's Lost Time." When Biden experiences Lost Time and loses his train of thought, that's just because his Super-Ager Brain, Sharp As a Tack, is workin' extra hard to suppress that Sudden Onset Childhood Stutter and to deliver for You, The American People.

Here's Scott Pelley before his 60 Minutes interview with Biden in late 2023 letting everyone know that Biden's stutter can return when he's been working too hard.

60 Minutes is not the "gold standard" of journalism. It's tarnished bronze at best.

63 The clash lasted roughly 15 minutes before Bilton ended the meeting and walked out.

The confrontation divided staffers at CBS News, with some insiders branding Pelley's behavior "bullying" and "grandstanding" -- and yet another reckoning that it was "a set-up," sources told The Post.

What SHOULD'VE happened was security called and Pelley escorted from the building immediately.

91 r/TheBulwark

Serious question: Why couldn’t The Bulwark make a run at Scott Pelley? It would be costly, but why not hire him to host a “Bulwark Investigates?” It fits with the mission. I know the thought of this gives JVL a woody.

Could The Bulwark partner with someone? “The Bulwark Investigates, presented by Netflix.”

He's likely in a position where he doesn't need the money and can do what he wants. This includes association with 'new media' outlets like The Bulwark, or his own channel/content outlet. This is more likely than him showing up somewhere like MSNOW or ABC News.

I would really prefer to see PBS or NPR pick him up. NPR has gotten far more liberal democracy since they stopped relying on keeping politicians happy (PBS has remained great, it was under less of a microscope). I recommend checking them out if you thought they were too wish washy in recent years.

We don't need Bulwark news, we need Bulwark music. The pro democracy playlist. Give the art back to the artists so the kids can get motivated to do good things.

And that Substack will immediately rack up lots and lots of subscribers. And Pelley will make money. Maybe lots of it. (We've seen this exact arc play out repeatedly in recent years.)

He followed that with a textbook bunt, advancing the runner, as we went up 4-2. He followed that inning up, dispensing the next six batters over two innings, with two strikeouts, and a 1-3.

His hitting was on fire, and he followed up with a double and a single for 5 RBIs on the night, which ended 16-4 in the middle of 4 (10 run rule).

133 The problem with an entire media ecosystem (broadcast news) being monolithic politically is that they all blend together and no one is special. No single institution within the ecosystem actually matters very much, especially to the people outside it.

How important is 60 Minutes?

Probably about as important as 2-3 MSNBC daytime shows put together.

Which is to say....not that important.

Because they all say the exact same things. 60 Minutes just says it slower and with better lighting.

It's not unique in terms of the actual content. It's actually extremely derivative, taking stories from months before and saying them again but with more serious framing.

Losing a player in that game...doesn't matter.

What matters is taking that institution and making it sound different from the rest. Which is what Weiss is doing.

And that's the real sin.

164 Pelley like almost all prosperous "press" people is sort of dumb. Very ignorant. And not gonna do homework on it but the farcical stage of "journalism" was attained far longer than 10 years ago. It's become noticeably worse, but from an already unbelievably and discrediting low base.

But the populace marinating in the idiotic nonsense that is almost all "news" is far far more dumbed down that it used to be, with the collapse of education pointing to continued decline. Oh well.

Expose their own asses. Go back for 10 years to the biggest, most egregious lies and correct the record. "TONIGHT! CBS News uncovers... CBS News." If the original "reporters" refuse to cooperate -- give them the Pelley.

194 Oldest is not doing too shabby either in American Legion 15U. He now leads his team in stolen bases at 9 over two games, with 5 BBs and one single.

His primary position is catcher, and he looked absolutely fabulous (hair and performance) blocking nearly everything after we spent some time the day before his first game refreshing his blocking basics, his pops are fast, and his throwdowns are fast, flat, and accurate. He accidentally hit a kid in the face, ahead of 2B, when the kid didn't slide, but the throw was dead on. and clearly beat the runner by a half step.

He's looking like the best catcher in the league we have faced thus far, and he's worked hard at doing so, setting the bar for his team's other catcher, who is respectable in his own right.

Alternately in CF/LF, he's fast and has a good glove, recording a couple fly outs and no errors yet fielding.

And his hair is the object of all the ladies' attention, the poor girls.

If they win all tossups as defined by Crystal Ball, their top is 222.

But they won't win all tossups (that don't happen none), and assume favorable results, probably between 218-220 seats for Democrats in the House next Congress.

And there's a solid chance they don't win that many.

I'm hoping for 218 and then some 90 year old black Democrat dies the day after voting for Jeffries as Speaker.

He was consistent, but it sucks for the other team, even though it wouldn't have mattered, except psychologically and emotionally, to go away thinking that they got beat by the ump, while we get the reputation of being that team who advanced on bad, local umping.

The problem with 2018 was the entire Republican establishment saying, "Maybe Trump is a Russian agent?"

You turn off Republican leaners two ways with this. The first is, "Oh, Trump is a Russian agent. I can't vote." The other is, "Oh, the GOP is fighting the standardbearer of the party. I can't vote."

The retirements eliminated the advantage of incumbency, yes, but this was more of an effect of the overall strategy the party establishment took to dealing with Trump rather than the actual cause of the poor midterm results (which were out of step with economic indicators).

Erick Erickson: "Alarming" Rumors Swirl About Graham Platner's Ejection from Elite Boarding School; More Is Coming About His "Behavior" with Women

I was wondering about Larry O'Connor's statement from a few weeks back: That the Nazi tattoo is only the tip of the iceberg and much, much worse was coming.

Was the sexting with 6-12 women the "much, much worse"? Or is there more?

Apparently there's more. The really toxic stuff hasn't been released yet.

No one is saying it but it sounds like they're hinting about the r-word, and I don't mean his already established racism. This seems to be hinting about sexual misconduct of some kind.

The latest is the sexting scandal wherein Platner texted sexually explicit messages to a half-dozen to a dozen women. The original report was about a dozen women and the campaign says it was only about a half-dozen. From there came revelations that Platner has been on a social site called Kik, which is a favorite site of predators. And, bubbling to the surface are allegations that Platner might have left school for alarming reasons -- those are being whispered about right now.

Could cheating or an honor code violation be an "alarming reason"? I don't think so. It sounds like something more serious.

He writes about the various people shifting blame for Graham Platner's serial infidelity to the staffer who tipped the media after the texts were shared by his wife.

This includes a Washington Post "reporter," who took the odd position that the source who revealed relevant information about a political candidate should be shunned and banned from employment.

That doesn't sound like a "reporter."

That sounds like a Democrat Party fixer determined to punish those who leak the truth about Nazi candidates:

After people questioned why a "journalist" is so committed to covering up the truth from the public, she deleted that tweet -- and has refused to answer questions about it since.

Of course, Democrat Socialists are also blaming... the Jews. See his substack for that, with a DSA "former campaign staffer" attacking a NYT journalist who wrote about the Platner affairs for having belonged to a "Students for Israel" group in college.

This is where I used to say "unbelievable" but of course it's not unbelievable, it's mainstream Democrat Communist/Nazi/Jihadist Party agitation.

As I've pointed out myself, he notes that when Graham Platner talks vaguely about problems he's had in his marriage, he's talking about a "marriage" that isn't yet three years old. He was sexting with strange women from his wedding day.

And his "redemption arc" is now only weeks or months old -- his wife brought these sexts to the attention of the campaign after it started, which is less than a year old.

He only covered up his SS Death's Head concentration camp guard tattoo a few months ago!

So all the "talks" and "growth" he's talking about -- happened in the past few months.

Back to Erickson, and hints about what kind of "alarming reasons" led to the rich bitch nepo baby's ejection from tony Hotchkiss Academy:

...
The man has a Nazi tattoo. He said soldiers in combat deserved to die. He blamed Susan Collins for sending him to war, despite volunteering repeatedly, even going back with Blackwater. He bragged about killing people. He fantasized about rape and said rape victims deserved some blame. He bragged about taking leave to have sex with prostitutes in Southeast Asia. And he claimed he can't get in a porta-potty without masturbating and fantasizing.

I didn't hear about the fantasies about rape, but it's very ominous when combined with the next sentence:

Soon we'll get the even worse allegations against him and what he did to women beyond fantasy.
Just remember that the Democrats have stuck with him. Eventually, the PodBros, Bulwark, and the rest will abandon Graham Platner. Once they're done blaming the Jews, the victims, the women around Platner, the Republicans, and others -- they'll abandon him. What's coming will force them to abandon him.
And when they finally flee, remember they were comfortable with him through all of these things -- things that all point to where the next accusations will be.

I can't wait for the Tucker Carlson interview.

Obviously I don't know anything about this, but I am able to read words and infer the meanings they're implying.

Now I wondered, if there's an absolutely radioactive attack coming, why is it being held? The primary is in six days, next Tuesday.

But of course Janet Mills has announced she remains a candidate in the race, albeit one whose campaign is suspended. So Democrats could abandon Platner and vote for Mills instead.

So I think this hit is being held until after they're locked into Platner, after they've chained themselves to his stinking corpse.

Or who knows, maybe this is a false op designed to scare Democrats off of Platner.

I guess we'll see.

In his interview with Two-Way, he says that classmates are talking about the reasons for his ejection from Hotchkiss, and "reporters are circling," and, once again, "women" specifically are talking about it.

Why would women in particular be talking about it if it's just about, say, an underaged DUI? Seems that the allegations have something specifically to do with women.

One thing that makes me less confident of these rumors: Larry O'Connor does not chime in and say "I've heard this too." He previously had reported he knew some really bad stuff was coming, but he does not say here that this is what he was talking about.

I'd like to hear someone else saying they're hearing these same rumors. I don't want to say that I don't trust Erick Erickson, but it's always important to remember, I don't trust Erick Erickson.

Per BDN: Graham Platner left DC early yesterday, ahead of his planned fundraisers with wealthy DC insiders, citing a "growing media presence" outside of Platner's family home.

By the way, here's Graham Platner's PR fiend, who is a Zohran Mamdani campaign worker.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's whiz-kid spin doctor -- under fire for allegedly threatening a whistleblowing ex-staffer to US Senate hopeful Graham Platner -- brazenly admitted to blasting out nude photos of himself in a resurfaced blog post.
Morris Katz, the 27-year-old campaign guru who helped catapult Mamdani to Gracie Mansion, made the bizarre confession while defending disgraced former California lefty Rep. Katie Hill in a November 2019 blog post after she quit Congress.
The openly bisexual ex-lawmaker resigned that month amid a storm of affair allegations involving multiple staffers -- and right after a trove of leaked nude photos were published online.

"I've sent nudes and I've received nudes," Katz blithely admitted in the Medium post titled "Katie Hill Resigned for Our Sins."
"We need to reach a cultural understanding where sexual photos that were consensually exchanged get deleted once their relationship ends or either side no longer consents," he wrote.

"Everybody I know knows someone whose nudes have been circulated," he continued. "It's become an accepted part of teenage (and evidently adult) male culture."
The Washington Free Beacon was the first to report on the blog post Tuesday as Katz faced renewed scrutiny over his alleged involvement in the snowballing saga involving Platner, the Democrat running to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins in Maine.
...
The report alleges Katz pressured Genevieve McDonald, the Democrat's former political director, in an effort to block a story on the candidate's alleged lewd messages to women.
"If the story goes in its current iteration, we'll communicate directly on the record, and by name, that Genevieve violated the personal trust of Amy and Graham and shared explicit falsehoods to sabotage the campaign," Katz told McDonald through an intermediary, the outlet reported.
After his alleged dirty political antics were exposed, Katz whined online that it was "no one's f--king business" what happened between Platner and his wife, Amy, before he started his run for office.

This guy is "openly bisexual"?

I think we're being pretty loose with the term "bisexual," here.

That's not even scratching the surface: He wrote a "children's book" for children about penises and masturbation and even wanted to include pictures of his own penis in the children's book but his publisher told him that would be "inappropriate."

See, he didn't know until he was told that.

Was that wrong?

One year later, in 2020, Katz published (through a company owned by his mother) a children�s book called Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty�and Shouldn�t Be Googling: For Curious Boys that included sections on �Your New Penis,� �The Magic of Masturbation,� and� pic.twitter.com/sFZqbUBJou

@FreeBeacon
One year later, in 2020, Katz published (through a company owned by his mother) a children's book called Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty--and Shouldn't Be Googling: For Curious Boys that included sections on "Your New Penis," "The Magic of Masturbation," and "Toxic Masculinity."
Katz proposed using an image of his own penis in the book "to get this point across" but his publisher "said it was inappropriate."

So he's an expert on Curious Boys, huh?

Full story from the Washington Free Beacon:

In 2020 Katz wrote a children's book--through a publishing house owned by his mother--called Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty--and Shouldn't Be Googling: For Curious Boys.
The book includes sections on "Your New Penis," "The Magic of Masturbation," and "Toxic Masculinity."
In March, Politico reported that on page 17 of the book, next to a chart discussing the phases of puberty, Katz wrote:
"At first, we were going to use images of my penis to get this point across, but the publisher said it was inappropriate so here we are."

I imagine he'll say this is a joke, but I don't think it's a joke to tell children that you would like to show them your penis. I think that's grooming and hinting around to gauge interest.

Katz is rapidly becoming one of my favorite Dems.

He�s 25 but looks like he�s 45, he�s clearly sociopathic, and he looks like a member of a 1970s white ethnic organized crime family which is a good aesthetic for political consultants to have. https://t.co/8SY7uhxqZy

Hello everyone. How are you this beautiful Wednesday?

Crow update: The crows left me another "gift," a bird carcass. Except the entire thing had been eaten. Only the feathers and beak were left.

So I know, at least, that they're not killing these birds for me. They're eating them and then dropping off the picked-clean carcass as a gift.

Thanks, guys. I've heard crows sometimes drop off currency. How about that instead?

No Democrat was going to win against Collins.

Polling of the state sucks ass, and she always wins by as much as Lindsay Graham wins in SC.

The Democrat Party is a grifting party pulling hundreds of millions out of donors big and small to launder through donors, and they will latch onto any potential thought of a win to get another 7 figures out of their braindead base.

Maine is a very big early voting state.

About 80% of all ballots in 2024 were early.

This is crescendoing after a week of early voting and months after the Nazi stuff came out...months of Platner being so far in the lead according to every tea leaf that Mills just outright suspended her campaign weeks ago.

And her response to all of this? A single tweet saying that she's technically still on the ballot. Probably paid an ad agency $250,000 for it, too.

Primary is June 9, next Tuesday.

No runoffs, though Maine does have Ranked Choice voting in primaries.

However, every indication is that Platner is running away with it.

There's the added wrinkle that it's Maine law that parties can switch out nominees after a primary for up to a month after the primary, so the real deadline is July 9. After that, Collins lets loose the dogs of war.

I’m riding with Platner. Susan Collins is 1,000 years old and betrayed our country with her decision to support Supreme Court nominees who then destroyed women’s reproductive rights. She is basically an undercover Trump loyalist.

Do Democrats realize every hit piece they put out against Platner makes me want to vote for him even more. We literally have a child rapist for a president and supposedly some 20 year old Reddit comments and texts are supposed to be disqualifying?

The most recent sexting revelation isn’t going to change much, because if this is disqualifying for you, the tattoo was already disqualifying; if the tattoo wasn’t disqualifying, this isn’t either.

101 Seems that the allegations have something specifically to do with women.

Well, what is a "woman" exactly? I don't even know what that means. Honestly, I don't think anybody does. It's more of a hypothetical concept of something that could exist in an alternate reality perhaps. How do you even pronounce it? WOmen. woMEN? Whoa Men. The word has lost all it's flavor.

Whatever - he's not a Garbage Person. He hates the people Dems hate, and they say he's good, and that's what counts. He's a Good Person.

These are the same voters who just selected a candidate from al-Qaeda in NJ. Nothing matters to them besides the approval of the bien-pensant ruling class Solons they wish they were, and sticking it to the hated subject classes they can't see they're a part of.

And, I hope he wins. I don't give a fuck about Susan Collins or her shit Party, and the federal Congress is meaningless in any event. Let Maine get what she deserves.

All this crap just drives more people toward splitting up the country, and that's my single issue. I don't want to be in a country with these goons. They need to be out of my life.

138 Looks like the Collins people have the Democrats on the horns of a dilemma - the Democrats probably know what the big story to come is, but if they release it now to shift votes to Mills it will depress general election enthusiasm amongst the Democratic base for Mills. But if they don't then the Collins people will release it after the legal deadline to replace Platner on the ballot and he will be a dead duck. Naturally, the fix for them is to have a partisan Judge find a reason why it's OK this time to swap candidates after the statutory deadline like they have every other time this has happened.

As far as I can piece it together, he picked up some water bottles and then left the store. The store owner and his son didn't see him put them down before leaving so they confronted him thinking he stole them.

The kid flashed a gun, then the son chased the kid, and the father followed both and ended up shooting the kid arguing in court that he thought the kid would shoot his son.

I tried reading a few reddit threats but every other post blames this on white supremacy. Yeah...multi-racial white supremacists strike again.

And he was winning polls by 30-50 points after the Nazi tattoo was revealed.

Why would he drop out?

If he drops out, he has a 0% chance of being senator. If he stays in, polls are telling him he'll win the general, so he'll have a good chance of becoming a senator (these polls are bullshit like they were in 2020 for the Maine senate race).

Posted by: Rev Dr E Buzz PhD Esq at June 03, 2026 12:28 PM (och2J)

Scott Weiner being gay doesn't bother me. What bothers me about Scott Weiner is that nearly every piece of legislation he's pushed through the California House has been directly or indirectly aimed at sexualizing children and making them more accessible to adults. It's the one common thread throughout his entire state legislative history. He shouldn't be anywhere near playgrounds and schools.

Regarding Platner's scandals, they only hurt him insofar as the women who he's used and abused were affected. The Totenkopf tattoo, the communism, the chronic masturbation, et al can all be forgiven, even celebrated (especially the communism).

It's just odd to me that Platner in Maine, Weiner in California, and Talarico in Texas are the best the Dems can offer voters. They couldn't find even one candidate in their respective states who could pass for a normal human.

326 Allegedly, Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner and his wife, Amy Gertner, traveled to Norway for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments in January 2026.

In multiple public campaign interviews, Platner strongly implied that he and his wife paid for the $5,500 Norwegian treatment entirely out of pocket because they couldn't afford the $25,000 U.S. alternative.

The working class BS & concealment of what's to surface.

Surprise!, A New York Times report published in May 2026 disclosed that the family covered the costs for the medical procedures, flights, and lodging in Norway.

After the media reports, Platner's campaign officially acknowledged that the candidate's father and in-laws had indeed financed the arrangement.

Note that Platner may be on 100% VA disability for TDIU. "Wife" is being paid by his campaign ($1,800 twice a month). They also don't wanna f-up the very comfy life they're living either.

But why, WHY would that woman try to get pregnant by him? 😬 (That's one weird mother-son relationship he's in.)

Wednesday Morning Rant

Rhyme

Despite most of the Horde not yet reaching the age of 29, many nonetheless have memories that go back much further. This is a temporal oddity, but a useful one. As a result, many will remember the period 30 years ago. A lot was going on the interregnum between the fall of the USSR and the rise of globalization and Islamic extremism. Economically and financially, this era was defined by high finance (though not as much was the mid-aughts would be) and high technology. The latter, fueled by the promise of the Internet and manic irrationality brought us what is now usually referred to as the "dot-com bubble."

Companies with no profits, no real plan to become profitable and in some cases even without meaningful revenues went public and raked in credulous investor capital. Other companies saw staggering growth in valuations as already-public companies that became major players in internet infrastructure were handsomely rewarded by the mania. Not all of the latter companies failed, but many never recovered and have never achieved their dot-com heights in the thirty years since. The narrative of invincibility became a narrative of dread as it the mania collapsed. The aftermath of the dot-com bubble took years to shake out, and set up some of the environment that led directly to the subsequent 2008 "Global Financial Crisis" and the following Eurozone debt crises.

There are a couple of companies that help summarize the dot-com bubble. One was an outfit called "Internet Capital Group," which was a business-to-business eCommerce holding company and venture capital firm. It had about $70 million in revenues when it went public in August of 1999 at $12 per share. The price doubled on the first day and gave the company a $3 billion market cap. By the end of the month, it had increased nearly five-fold to $58 per share. By the end of the year, the stock price had gained over 2700% and was the most successful IPO of the year. It reached a peak market valuation of over $50 billion. The stock split in its first six months. By the end of 2001, the company was a penny stock. By the end of 2002, the company had a market cap of around $200 million and it finally liquidated in 2018 after shambling along as a zombie for more than a decade, shedding most of its properties along the way. This dot-com high-flier was a pure bubble stock, and billions of credulous investor dollars evaporated in its cash furnace.

On the other side, there were the real dot-com companies like Cisco Systems. Cisco was - and is - a real company. A real company with real products and real customers and real revenues. As the dominant manufacturer of network switching equipment, the explosive growth of the internet resulted in a lot of sales for Cisco. At the peak of the dot-com excesses in March of 2000, this company that made the tools other bubble companies needed had a stock price of around $80 share and a market cap of over half a trillion dollars - a hell of a run in its decade as a public company, given that it started with a quarter-billion-dollar market cap when it went public in 1990. This year marks the first year that Cisco has managed to regain its prior value of around half a trillion dollars. Nominal. Inflation-adjusted, it's still nowhere close to where it peaked.

Beyond just the financials of the bubble players, there was the wider mania that helped fuel it. The number of estimated users for internet companies in the late 90s totaled to more people than existed on the planet - by a decently wide margin. The sky wasn't the limit, there was simply no limit at all. Anything was possible, and the internet was going to do it all, however absurd it sounded. Everyone believed, and everyone got rich. Right up until the whole thing collapsed like a dying star. The internet wasn't fake, and it wasn't unimportant. Its value, however, was totally disconnected from reality and the promises everyone made had no way to be fulfilled.

It ended the only way it could, with the stark reminder that no player is safe during that kind of mania. Whether a long-shot startup or a major, established and very real company or even the narrative itself, the collapse of a mania takes out everybody. Even the survivors walk away extremely bloody.

Flash forward thirty years, and it's happening again. AI is driven by companies with massive valuations, lots of promises, and an assumption that trees - this time - will grow to the sky. Take Cerebras, an AI chip maker and services player. It went public this year with half a billion dollars in revenues and, if you account for unusual one-time accounting, losses of around $75 million and negative free cash flow. It has potentially valuable future contracts with some big players. It has a market cap of around $52 billion. AI majors Anthropic and OpenAI will probably IPO this year. OpenAI is a loss-making enterprise that, according to the company's own estimates, will rack up in excess of $100 in losses by the end of the decade, with profitability not expected before sometime in 2030s. Anthropic also loses money, but expects to achieve profitability this decade rather than next. Each company will likely end up being valued in the neighborhood of a trillion dollars.

The infrastructure players are no different. Nvidia, which makes the processors preferred by AI companies, has seen its market cap surge from around $325 billion in 2020 to around $5.4 trillion today. Not bad for a few years. Broadcom, which makes a variety of computer chips and software and whose products are found in most computers, mobile devices and networking equipment, is not directly an AI player but is benefiting from the boom. It has seen its market cap move from around $180 billion five years ago to around $2.2 trillion today. Like Cisco, these are real players with real products and real customers and real revenues and real profits and who have seen unprecedented surges in sales and enterprise value on the back of a new technology sector.

And the narrative is helping drive it all. You can't swing a cat without seeing stories about how AI is changing everything, how everyone will be living in the AI world, how AI demand is unlimited and so on. Preposterous claims like those from Microsoft - which said that all white-collar work will be replaced by AI in just 18 months - are commonplace. Don't worry about negative stories, just believe. And buy. Buy and believe.

AI and dot-com are not the same song, but it increasingly sounds like they rhyme.

Unlimited use of the AI checker went from $39 per month to tokens.

People were out of tokens in...hours at the start of this month.

The user end has been massively subsidized all while the actual benefits are more akin to adding calculators to an engineer's office rather than mechanical humanoid replacements.

26 I use AI at work.

It definitely speeds up a lot of tasks - for example if I want to write a series of powershell scripts to analyze a log file I can take the time to remember each command, double check the syntax and then run them one by one.

Or...

I can tell AI to write them and it gives me the scripts back in a few seconds and then run them

Or...

Tell AI to write and run them and give me the data I want.

Option 3 is risky because it makes dumb choices (since it isn't "intelligence"). But Option 2 is mostly upside...interestingly the main downside is I'll forget how to wrote powershell scripts over time.

30 A week or so ago, I said I've seen plenty of hype cycles in my 29 years, and I think this is another. Right now, we're probably near the peak of unrealistic expectations. That doesn't mean there isn't money to be made, but I'm waiting for the inevitable crash into the slough of despond before putting my money in. Many of the unrealistic players now will evaporate, and the slow climb to more realistic profitability will commence. At that point, the value vs time slope will be much lower than it is now, but it will appreciate over time at a rate I can accept.

41 There have been bubbles and bursts since companies became a thing centuries ago. Tulip mania? But unlike many, I don't fear bubbles or bursts. It's the natural order of things. If you want to be a successful investor, you have to know and understand this -- and know how to profit from it.

The biggest mistake that investors make -- even successful investors -- is jumping on a hot stock after it already popped. That's closing the barn door after the horses have already left. The early investors already made all your money, and you're risking a burst.

Instead, look for beaten or battered companies that already took a big hit, but otherwise seem like sound future investments. Remember Intel? About a year ago everyone was sure the company was a week from bankruptcy. I disagreed. I bought and now am up 500% on my investment.

Sadly, even I am not immune to the naysayers, and instead of investing $100k like I wanted to, I only put in half that. Foolish me. I let the know-nothing know-it-alls talk me out of half of my investment -- and half my profits.

44 >>Can someone please explain the argument for AI becoming sentient? Because I just don't get it. It's artificial, but it's not intelligent.

I don't know about sentient, but I suspect that companies will outsource decisions to AI as a way to not just cut staff, but to escape responsibility for the decisions. For example, I can imagine a health insurer (or any insurer) deciding whether something is treated based on and AI analysis. Sure, this is already happening with nameless, faceless office people who crunch the numbers/odds and decide yes or know. However, I'm imagining AI will make this a lot easier/ more efficient/more widespread*, and when you challenge it, it will be 'sorry, the AI said it's a no go and the company defers to this "intelligence" over people.

Heck, you might no longer have the opportunity to interact with a live person -- this is getting harder and harder nowadays already.

*AI is already building dependence, as people outsource work and learning, and how soon before they are incapable of performing these tasks without AI?

When the Truth becomes a LIABILITY ALL (NORMAL) PEOPLE become the enemy, and to the self-repair mechanism of the Huma-borg's our fate will be decided in a nanosecond

I don't doubt it will eventually become sentient, whatever that means. Humans are essentially static, while AI continues improving at a comparative speed of light. Sure, it's been overhyped, but the progress is real. Look at what's happened in just a few years to videos. You can argue that's not really thought, but it's getting closer very, VERY quickly.

They are normally very much of the "if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear from the government watching" mindset.

There is that but there is another part to this people often miss.

The oligarchs directing the left don't want AI to make decisions for them obviously, and while they want to use it to make money and control the populace they have a much more significant need/goal.

They know they are going to die absent some major breakthrough and since they are atheists that's the end.

2) Tell it who you are (Piano student at [Skill Level] interested in learning [Skill]). You have experience playing the piano in [Style] and have been playing [years]
3) Tell it what you're looking for (Lessons or lesson plans to learn [skill]. You would like to spend [Time every day] working on this skill over [Number of days/weeks.]

True, but a lot of these "car companies" were really coach-builders or customizers.

That was the model at the time: customers bought the car mechanicals from Company A and then had Company B build the body over it. The idea of going to a dealership and buying a fully-complete, functioning car didn't become the norm until decades later.

Also, while a lot of these early companies went out of business, at least an equal number were bought by bigger companies in a massive wave of consolidation.

My wife's Mini Cooper was allegedly like that. It needed a new battery after seven years. I called the local Mini dealership and spoke to the service manager. He spouted the company line at first, but I finally got him to admit that it wasn't necessary to have the dealership install and register the new battery, that any equipped auto repair place could do it.

I took the Mini to my regular mechanic's place who hooked up some device to the car's computer and verified that they could register the new battery.

186 Was it not only merely two, three years ago that the big money was in Blockchain and NFTs and Cryptocoin?

That also explains Nvidia's ascent a bit. Their GPUs were being used for non-graphical purposes, since processing for Bitcoin and similar was computationally expensive and the cards were perfectly situated for the logic needed in said processing.

It also caused the prices of video cards to skyrocket at that time, due to the increased demand for blockchain-related calculations.

NFTs and the like just dropped off the radar because AI became the Thing. But since the equipment is similar, the tech hardware was easily able to segue over to AI.

So when you see every powerful person in the country, from government to business to academic institutions shrieking "AI, AI, AI WE MUST AI HARDERER AND FASTERER AND AI-IER RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!!11!!1" you better think twice and then twice more about just why they're so hot under the collar about it.

I have a dark theory: China learned evil lessons from Reagan and the arms race against Russia. How we scared Russia into building arms too fast and then economically weakened them.

Is China doing that to us with AI? Using the AI tech war to make us build AI too fast and it then weakens the US? Then we aren't a threat when they take Taiwan back? Or am I too paranoid?

236 In other automotive news...

Ford is urging thousands of owners not to drive their trucks over a life-threatening suspension concern.

About 4,653 Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles from the 2021 to 2026 model years in the United States are under a 'do not drive' advisory.

On some models, a part of the front suspension that helps with steering - known as the front lower control arm ball joints - may not have been assembled correctly.

If the critical part breaks while driving, the driver could face problems steering and potentially crash.

As a result, dealers are available to inspect the part on both the left and right sides - and repair as necessary at no cost to the customer.

Ford dealers will provide impacted customers with complimentary towing of their vehicles for inspection and repairs, if it's needed.

262 There are a lot of lowlifes maxing out credit and EBT cards to get on flights nowadays. They’re the ones buying upgraded seats and premium in flight meals, most times because they didn’t earn the money and have zero concept of value. They are largely classless people with no manners and a sense of entitlement for everything. They’re rude, crudely dressed and fill a lot of flights. They turn what should be a pleasant experience into a trip down ghetto lane. Same for most cruises today.

Shit. I was looking at both of those yesterday.
Had a conversation with a Jeep girl at work (her jeep is frigging awesome) and she said when she looked at the front suspension of the new Bronco she was appalled. Looked weak and easily breakable. And as we now know probably not put together right to begin with.

I guess a Subaru Crosstrek is what I'm going to buy. Maybe take another look at a Jeep. All new cars suck now.

Kuwait International Airport has come under Iranian missile and drone attack on Wednesday, in a significant strike that killed one person and left 63 people injured – according to the country’s health ministry, with several of the victims being seriously wounded.

A passenger terminal was directly struck, damaging facilities including diplomatic missions at the airport, Kuwaiti authorities have said. Area hospitals conducted seven major emergency surgeries following the incident, underscoring that it was a mass casualty event.

Once they steal a couple of examples, they just stick the parts in a digital scanner or break out the dial calipers, copy the dimensions and reassemble. Then they spend the next 20 years trying to make their counterfeit work because they don't understand things like metallurgy.

This is the story of the Shenyang WS-10 turbofan jet engine, which started as a copy of the US/French engines used in 80s Boeing 737s that they picked up before they were embargoed after the Tiananmen Massacre.

278 I work for a Canadian company that has historically been known as an electronics manufacturing CM but has over the last decade become a significant products company in its own right. This company is now the single largest consumer of Broadcom's highest end switch chips on the planet.

We're moving extremely heavy into AI hardware development and are emerging as THE major competitor to Nvidia on the hardware front.

I've been in electronics manufacturing since the original boom of the latter 90s and this one, on the hardware side, makes that one look like a small excursion. Tens, hundreds of billions are flowing in. We can't grow fast enough. Our company is expanding NA manufacturing from ~1 million sqft last year to 5 million next.

Cupid Chastised
Bartolomeo Manfredi

Good old Bart is considered one of the many Caravaggisti, and it is obvious that he embraced Caravaggio's style, and quite well!

From the Getty Museum website:

Bartolomeo Manfredi was known throughout Italy and beyond as Caravaggio's closest follower. More than simply copying Caravaggio's style, Manfredi reinterpreted his subjects and rendered new ones, while drawing upon and propagating Caravaggesque naturalism and dramatic use of chiaroscuro.

22 From artic.edu:

"Cupid Chastised depicts a moment of high drama: Mars, the god of war, violently whips the young boy, Cupid, as punishment for embroiling the god in an affair with the boy’s mother, Venus, the goddess of love. Venus tries in vain to stop the beating. Surrounded by darkness, the three ﬁgures are boldly illuminated from the left, intensifying the composition’s dynamism and impact. The physicality of the ﬁgures conveys the violent discord of the scene: the crouching, wide-eyed Venus; the furious, muscular Mars; and Cupid, whose naked ﬂesh and recumbent position render him particularly vulnerable. On one level a tale of interpersonal conﬂict, the story also symbolizes the eternal conﬂict between love and war."

That just means that China is getting the oil and storing it!

Nevermind the story of China discovering that it's purported 1.2 billion barrel strategic supply is actually just water.

While oil tankers can vary significantly in capacity, with Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) typically able to carry about 2 million barrels of crude oil, while Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCCs) can hold up to 3.7 million barrels. Smaller more common tankers, like Aframax, usually carry between 500,000 to 750,000 barrels.

Assuming a spherical cow, how many ships would it take to deliver hundreds of millions of barrels of oil a day to China? (Hint: remember to factor in transit time, as well as the return trip into your answer.)

That's roughly 40 super tankers constantly moving through the Gulf of Oman, past American naval vessels looking for large cargo vessels.

Becuase that is obviously what data_republican was suggesting. Democrats cheat in elections, local and federal. She is using that as an example.

It's not a logical leap. It's a very clear indication that this is what Democrat have always done and we all know it.

IF I remember it correctly, there was a party at my parents house, no parents, and a girl, high school age, was drinking heavily, but also a diabetic or some such. I wanted her gone because yeah, no. Her cousin was attempting to get her to leave, but another girl was pissing at me telling me it wasn't my house because my name wasn't on the deed. Others finally got those 2 idiots to head towards the door and one guy's girlfriend decided that whipping the tits out was a good way to get things moving.

I will admit a momentary distraction, but I'd seen them before, they were small, and the twat that was not heeding my demands to get the f*ck out of MY house and take her stupid ass friend with her before shit got real regained my attention.

They did finally leave.

The Morning Report — 6/ 3 /26

Good morning kids. While it certainly looks as if Graham "Oyster cracker" Platner is on the verge of going kerSPLATner. Sure he's utterly horrendous on every level. But he's not a one-off considering this happened just down the coast in New Jersey:

Adam Hamawy, a controversial candidate who previously volunteered with an al-Qaeda-linked group, has won the Democrat primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s (D-NJ) seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Hamawy, who was endorsed by the so-called “Squad,” became a lightning rod for criticism on the campaign trail due to his intense criticism of Israel and his having volunteered with the Benevolence International Foundation in Bosnia, per the New York Post:
An Iraq War veteran, Hamawy has made national headlines for saving Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-Ill) life after a helicopter crash as well as for his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip.

How "controversial" could he have been and still come out on top let alone even be a candidate? Yes New Jersey, especially the bedroom communities/counties near NYC are leftist dominated with growing populations of Muslims from some of the worst Islamic hellholes on earth. The "Squad" are also not really outliers but represent more and more the majority of the Democrat base and ultimately are going to supplant the old guard allegedly "moderate" "liberal" leadership, bth those words in quotation marks for obvious reasons since Democrats are neither moderate nor liberal. Great he rescued Tammy Duckworth. This is kind of like Otto Skorzeny rescuing Mussolini.

Be that as it may, the Democrat/Leftist party and movement is at war and has always been at war with Americans and America as founded. Unless and until the hatred of this nation its people history and heritage are utterly burned out of that Party's black heart, we'll never know a moment's peace. It's us or them and it's high time we realize it. Of course there are those allegedly on our side who won't and never will, and worse, will aid and abet in our destruction:

. . . the American conservatives whom Mike Pence is urging to take the high road can’t afford to pretend that doing so will ensure victory. We are not facing political opponents who can be lectured into behaving more civilly. The late Freedom Center founder David Horowitz warned decades ago that we are at war with an enemy determined not to seek coexistence with us but to destroy us. Today’s Democrats call for and celebrate our murder, for God’s sake. They certainly won’t be shamed into cleaning up their language.
Pence writes that civility “is how we can find principled common ground in America.” This is a beautiful dream, but the reality is that Left and Right today have no common ground – none. There is literally no political issue – abortion, immigration, race, crime, education, the family, poverty, homelessness, national security, national sovereignty, the environment, foreign policy, religion – on which there is not a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between both sides. Even if there were a patch of common ground somewhere, the Left is not interested in tilling that soil, but craves total power. The idea that Republicans and Democrats can reach across the aisle and come together even in a grudging mutual respect is, sadly, a fantasy.

Yeah, about that civility:

There are judicial rulings that raise complex legal questions, and there are rulings that expose a deeper rot. Judge Leonie Brinkema’s decision to block the Justice Department’s Anti-Weaponization Fund belongs firmly in the latter category. What occurred here transcends a routine dispute over government spending — it is a profound assertion of judicial overreach. ..
The Anti-Weaponization Fund was established as part of a settlement in President Trump’s lawsuit against the government regarding the unlawful disclosure of his tax information. The fund creates a pathway for individuals who believe they have been harmed by government weaponization or politically motivated “lawfare” to seek compensation. Predictably, this objective has drawn fierce opposition from the very circles that spent years insisting such weaponization either did not exist or was entirely justified. Their opposition tells its own story.

Mike Pence hasn't uttered a sound about this:

rioter was charged Friday “for allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers” at a New Jersey illegal immigrant holding center on Thursday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on X. Another individual was arrested after threatening to murder an immigration officer and his family, Blanche said Friday. The Department of Homeland Security arrested at least six rioters last Wednesday alone for allegedly assaulting law enforcement, while others were arrested in the subsequent days, ABC 6 reported.
The attacks took place outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in New Jersey called Delaney Hall. Fox News reported that “agitators…were seen establishing a highly organized logistics and support operation before protests began at the site. Stockpiles of masks, duct tape, hard hats and medical supplies were laid out near the facility.”

If we really want civility, we'll get it in a nanosecond once we have summary executions of rioters. Until then Ponce Pence can shove civility where the sun don't shine.

Have a great day.

71 The local Fox outlet mentioned that Antoinette Frank, the former NOPD cop convicted and sentenced to death for the murders of a Vietnamese shopkeeper and his wife -- in 1995! -- is still on Death Row. Her lawyer has been filing one motion after another and managing to keep her breathing oxygen for three decades.

The TV series Homicide: Life on the Street had an episode in the late '90s based on this case. The script finished with a macabre detail: That her father had not been seen for two years . . . and under her house investigators found human bones.

That same detail was reported in the actual Frank case. Wiki: "A month after she was sentenced to death, police found a human skull with a bullet hole buried under Frank's house."

You know what would be a good idea? Let's rejigger the tax code to take more people off the tax rolls. People with no responsibility to pay taxes would never be willing to raise taxes on others to ridiculous levels... they would never be ambivalent about waste and fraud... they would be good stewards of public policy.

And we can slowly add them back to the tax rolls later.

This proposal in Cali is why the tax code should start at dollar 1 and be absolutely flat.

Liberals...it is not too late to join us on here on the left. YES. We want all Americans to have free healthcare. YES. We want NO MORE funding to Israel. YES. We want education reform.

I love how all the liberals and Democrats were freaking out after Hamawy took the lead. Their media was describing him as 'alleged plastic surgeon from Rutgers' when he is one of the famous doctors in the country.

Saved a US senators life in Iraq, served as a national guard for 8 years, helped during the Bosnian war, Syrian civil war, Haiti's 2010 earthquake, treated first responders on 9/11, did life saving work in Gaza...That's an insane resume.

Even though I expected this, I'm still so happy! Yay! I get to be represented by an unapologetic progressive!

This was a crazy interesting race to watch as the vote came in. Every other serious candidate was highly regional, but Hamaway was pulling 2nd place with mid-twenties basically everywhere. He consolidated the "left" vote and nobody else could consolidate the "normie progressive" or "establishment" vote.

117 Is Trump Souring on J.D. Vance as His Preferred 2028 Successor?

"The authors, Katie Rogers and Tyler Pager, claim to have interviewed more than a dozen individuals “directly familiar with the dynamic between the two men.” Several of those sources spoke to the Times on the condition of anonymity."

Fortunately, the article goes on to say...

"Frankly, the article reads as though its authors started with their desired conclusion — that Trump has soured on his vice president — and then gathered evidence to support it.

Is there some truth to the story? Perhaps. But it is equally fair to ask whether we are witnessing the early stages of yet another media-driven effort to manufacture a rift between Trump and Vance where little or none actually exists."

175 >>I mean I love Trump, but he has clearly stepped on his dick with this Iranian Adventure.

Completely disagree. Iran launched a few missiles, all of which were shot down. In return the US hit Iranian missile launch sites and other targets.

It's beyond obvious and has been for weeks that Trump can completely obliterate Iran if he chooses but has decided it would be better in the long run not to completely destroy Iran and turn it into the next Iraq or Libya. So he has chosen the path of grinding them down and forcing them to accept a deal on his terms.

Trump is looking down the road at a stable Middle East that relies on commerce between the members to keep the peace. Business partners have a strong incentive not to fight.

So it takes a bit longer to get a deal. Iraq is still broken more than a decade later. Libya is still broken. Both still house terrorists. What is everyone's huge rush? Iran has been a problem for 47 years and for most of that time Trump was speaking about the need to deal with Iran. Let me do his thing. He has a pretty damn good track record.

214 But wait! The Islamic Regime news is getting better !
"US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iran has agreed to not have a nuclear weapon, as he revealed he will 'probably meet with Iran's Ayatollah at some point... 'They've already agreed they're not going to have a nuclear weapon,' Trump said, adding that Tehran could still 'change their mind.'

'I did have to say we have to do something about Iran, because regardless of how well we're doing [economically] we can't let them have a nuclear weapon,' he said.

'I mean, now they can change their mind, but that was one of the things they've had to agree, they've agreed to that. That was the big thing,' he added.

He also said that the US does not 'need boots on the ground now.' "

Well! Let's pop the champagne and celebrate! The only thing missing is assurances from the demented lying ayatollahs that they put a fatwah on the nukes. Otherwise I won't , I shan't believe all this comity coming from the Islamic Republic.

Because that level of tribalism they exhibited in protecting the killer only comes from insulation from integration into Western society.

And that insulation only comes by being protected from and avoiding any employment--the number 1 way cultures are forced to mix and interact in broader society.

We don’t need a deal in order to eliminate Irans ability to control the straits and affect world oil prices. We don’t need regime change, either. The US needs to seize the islands in the straits with amphibious troops and eliminate the small boat threat completely. If that means eliminating every dock in every village on the Iranian side of the straits, fine. It’s still a simple military problem that can be solved.

Once the straits are open, the rest of it can take all the time Trump wants to give it. Right now, the Iranians have calculated that the US does not have the nerve to do this fight anymore, and they can hold on until our midterms.

Would you grant that Trump and his team including the military, CIA, etc., are well aware of the need to open the Strait completely and also know a hell of a lot more about the on the ground situation than we do? That seems pretty obvious to me.

I would also wager that nobody wants this over with more than Trump. He is a pretty smart guy and he understands the ramifications of a closed Strait including in political terms.

I don't agree at all that Iran has concluded anything of the sort seeing as how they aren't getting their oil money either and are losing something on the order of $500 million/day. In fact, I would assume they are wondering how the hell they keep their country from imploding without money. Trump is showing he does in fact have patience.

Are the ballistic missiles being used, in small numbers, being replaced by the Iranian logistics chain? Are their missiles depleting in numbers?

We can shrug off or shoot down a small salvo. That does assume our manufacturing capability for making anti-missile missiles is going as fast as possible. Since we seem to launch two missiles to shoot one down.

Scott Pelley on being fired: “I have been in combat in Afghanistan. I have been in combat in Iraq. I have been in the war zone in Ukraine multiple times, risking my life and the happiness of my family because of my devotion to the broadcast.”

349 Congratulations to Zach Lahn on his victory! He will be a great Governor for all Iowans.

Iowa had quite a few Republicans running in the primary for governor. Not sure who will be best in office, and if that's also who will be best running against Sand, but Lahn seems like the Trump-type model (or maybe more Spencer Pratt): a successful businessman and normal American (farmer), outsider to politics, running on a platform of normalcy and returning to fundamental American values.

Sand is the best bet Dems have at the Governor's mansion...he's a creepy weirdo posing as a moderate, but he'll go full Spanberger if he gets into office.

Just because you have a thirst for ACTION, it doesn't mean it's the right STRATEGIC thing to do. It one part of a very complicated operation, and Trump is the mastermind.

Aren't these the same idiots claiming that Trump is taking orders from Bibi, and the US takes orders from Israel, in general? Or is that a different group of dumbasses?

431 I don't think any of these msm journos will be able to hack it as a podcaster. Their only skill is reading what people put on a screen, and they have none of the work ethic necessary for a podcast - everyone does everything for them while they sit there looking dumb.

They probably don't even know what equipment to purchase. All the actual work is going to have to be done by their production team, writers, etc. The end result will be a lower-budget copy of the shitty product that everybody already abandoned years ago.

Just checked the map for NJ-12th and it is heavily gerrymandered and includes Trenton and a couple of the Brunswicks, so that explains it, I guess. But the 12th is bordered on both the north and south by republican districts. A fair amount of NJ is republican.

I know Iran is claiming this to be the case and I'm sure Trump and his team are aware but I am also confident they have so much intel on what is happening a mouse doesn't fart in Tehran these days without them knowing about it too.

Perhaps Trump is allowing China to get some oil as part of his negotiations with them which are endless. But I 100% doubt what's left of the mullahs is sneaking a significant amout of oil out of the country without Trump's knowledge but the WSJ cracked the story from a desk in NYC.

436 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

From above, Pence writes that civility “is how we can find principled common ground in America.”

Also, the Anti-Weaponization Fund "established as part of a settlement in President Trump’s lawsuit against the government ...creates a pathway for individuals who believe they have been harmed by government weaponization or politically motivated “lawfare” to seek compensation" blocked.

That's one hell of a coincidence.

About five years after January 6th, and all of its political & personal repercussions, Pence is rolled out again to push back on U.S. citizens who had likely voted for him, too, in both 2016 & 2020.

(AI Overview, for simplicity): During the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence held a series of secure phone calls. The two political adversaries bypassed inaction by collaborating to ensure the safety of lawmakers and resume the certification of the presidential election.

The raw audio and video of the behind-the-scenes calls were captured by documentary filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi (the Speaker's daughter) and later aired publicly by the House Select.

437 Federal authorities charged 1,583 individuals across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. for their involvement in the January 6 U.S. Capitol Attack. The resulting investigation became the largest criminal probe in U.S. history.

While over 1,000 defendants pleaded guilty to or were found guilty at trial for various federal crimes, none were charged with the formal crime of insurrection.

Legal experts noted that the DOJ avoided these charges because they did not want to risk losing cases if they could not prove a "rock-solid" intent to launch a rebellion, rather than just participating in a violent, disorganized riot.

OTW, unprovable from the start but oh, how they tried.

In April 2023, Pence spent hours testifying before a federal grand jury investigating the January 6th Capitol attack and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

However, President Donald Trump issued sweeping pardons and commutations for January 6 defendants on January 20, 2025, during his first day in office for his second term, and with J.D. Vance as V.P.

Daily Tech News 3 June 2026

Top Story

Windows has a fever and the only cure is more Linux. (The Verge) (archive site)

Seriously, though. Microsoft is planning to fix problems with Windows by embedding more Linux into its operating system.

It seems there might be an easier way to achieve that.
Also, Microsoft, fire your designers. (Notebook Check)

Now.

All of them.

Tech News

Laptops based on Nvidia's new RTX Spark N1X CPU will start at $2900. (WCCFTech)

And go up from there.

Models using the low-end N1 CPU will start at $1800.

Do not send to ask for whom the bell tolls, Nvidia.
Intel says that "something has to give" with memory prices. (Tom's Hardware)

And that they're not planning to stop production of older CPUs that use DDR4 memory, not while there's still demand.
AMD meanwhile had to re-engineer its DDR4-friendly 5800X3D to bring it back into production. (Tom's Hardware)

TSMC has changed its die-stacking technology (the X3D part in the name) so they couldn't simply restart production of the chip with the same process as before. The CPU chiplet remains the same, but it needs to be packaged differently.
Phison showed off a PCIe 6.0 SSD controller that supports transfer rates of 28GB per second and 6.8 million IOPS. (Tom's Hardware)

While drawing just 7W of power. Which would be a lot for a consumer model, but no more than early PCIe 5.0 controller chips.
A perfect companion for your new 5800X3D, Nividia's RTX 3060 is back as well.> (WCCFTech)

Only in China so far. Priced at $325.
The European Parliament has ditched Google Search for French competitor Qwant. (Politico)

I'm usually more than ready to dump on European idiocy, but Google makes it easier every day to break up with them, even for those of us who are not European idiots.

The link above shows profit and loss of Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Mistral AI, Cohere AI, Deepseek, and nVidia.

The only profitable company right now in that list is nVidia, and that's because they're making the chips and cards and selling them to the rest. The others? All massively in the red.

Then you've got GitHub Copilot massively increasing the cost of using their services, so much so that developers are talking about leaving the platform in droves. The important thing though is that we've reached the critical moment when the prices are about to reflect what has been spent on the thing, and if it can't provide value commensurate to the price, then...

29 Last night I dreamed of my late cat Arizona, the big red tabby-with-white Coon mix. Actually it was not him, but a successor (that I've never had in real life) who looked very much like him.

I was driving in a city unfamiliar to me, along a two-lane avenue that suddenly came to an end at a mini-park. I followed other people on foot around the park, and found myself in a house with a young married couple. I could read her thoughts: She was tired of her husband and his attempts at wit. Suddenly a roach flew into the house, and Arizona II chased it outside and killed it. I was combing a couple of burrs out of his thick long coat when I woke up.

Now that the primaries are over all the Democrat vote that was scattered among the countless number of primairy candidates is going to coalesce behind the Democrat nominee. The Republican primary candidates ran about even with the leading Democrat primary candidates; that probably represents their high watermark, while the Democrat candidate has another 30% or more coming from these other primary candidates. It is possible the Republican can win but more likely than not it's going to be a wipeout. And so goes the Communist state of California.

It is fair to say there is something more than a flicker of opposition to the absolute Democratic control of California for the first time in years. I don't think it's strong enough to overcome the last 20 years of one-party rule. Karen Bass got something like close to 40% of the Democrat primary vote after being directly responsible for the palisade fire and the collapse of livability in Los Angeles. Her communist opponent, ramen AKA noodles, got 25% or so. With a track record a failure like that and they're still yanking down 60% to 70% of the votes well that's a tough thing for Pratt to overcome. Factor in all the people that would vote Republican that have left the state it's even worse. Hope I'm wrong but I don't see it. At least not yet.

None of these changes "fix problems with Windows". They make it easier to run Linux containers in Windows, but Linux containers only exist because people keep insisting on writing serious software in scripting languages that have to call system libraries. Windows doesn't have containers because it doesn't need them; I had a Windows 3.1 desktop app running on my Windows 10 system. Even my Windows 11 systems can run XP-era apps.

Containers are literally "if it only runs on your machine, then we'll ship your machine". They are the worst possible solution to a problem that only exists because Linux distros are universally dumpster fires.

Not the best use of heavy machinery

Enraged by Divorce Filing, Man Tears Down Family Home with an Excavator

A Pennsylvania man was so outraged by his wife's divorce filing that he got into an excavator and started tearing their house down with his spouse and two daughters still in it.
***
When 48-year-old Eric Pierwsza’s wife told him that their marriage was over and she had filed for divorce, she didn’t exactly expect a positive reaction, but she also didn’t expect him to literally bring down the house! However, after a night of drinking, the man did just that, using a construction excavator to partially demolish his own property.
Divorces can get messy, but you don’t often hear about people destroying their own houses just because their marriage fell apart. However, one marital dispute in Butler County, Pennsylvania, got so out of hand that the husband used an excavator to partially demolish his own house after hearing that his wife wanted to divorce him.

DJ Doof - Monthly Trivia Event Tie-in Edition

These songs are featured in my monthly classic rock trivia event tomorrow night.

Here is the final question for my event tomorrow. Think you can answer it correctly?

Category: The Man Behind the Microphone
This British singer, songwriter, and keyboardist from Sheffield has one of the most remarkable careers in classic rock history — not because of his own fame, but because of whose band he was in at any given moment.
He fronted a band in the mid-1970s and wrote and sang their only major hit, which reached #3 on the US charts. He then joined a well-known British new wave band, singing lead on their most beloved song. He later became the voice of a side project formed by a Genesis guitarist, singing the group’s biggest hit which reached #1 in the US in 1989. He also co-wrote a song recorded by the Eagles on their 2007 comeback album.
Despite lending his voice to some of the most recognizable songs of three decades, most fans couldn’t pick him out of a lineup.
Name this man.

They estimate about $4500 if I have them pack some of the stuff; if not, it would be less, and the actual weight could change the calculation too. Compared to loading a truck myself, even with the help of some hired labor, I think it might be worth while to let them pack certain things.

Otherwise, I'm off to the eyeglass place tomorrow to see about getting some driving glasses; and the home inspection is supposed to occur on Thursday.

45 While not first, I deserve a participation trophy for taking 5yr old granddaughter to tumbling; dealing with a possibly sick 7yr old boy less than a month post op from an appy with a headache; and fretting over the 9mo old that is sick. It had better be viral or I will sue everyone in the hospital and pediatrician who saw her today if she gets worse. I feel so bad for our sweet girl.

If it is viral their Da is in Australia and an entire day's flight away. They have now gotten sick twice in six weeks the minute he is in the air. So we step in and then I get sick and the circle will go unbroken until it is.

May, one of my favorite months of the year, is a total blur. Surely things will change soon. It will. Begorrah.

There. I feel better now.

64 OK, "fortress" critiques....

WAY too many gates for a zombie apocalypse. Way too many gates even for a good fortress.

Is that supposed to be an electrified fence around the place? Looks flimsy. I guess it might slow down the first wave of zombies, but the rest of them will just walk right over all their friends.

No overhangs on any of those walls or corner towers. You need something to pour down the boiling oil/gasoline/whatever.

Also, on the one side it really should be right up against the water. The zombies then have to climb the bank AND the wall. (The water itself won't stop zombies. It might stop Nazgul, though, if it moves fast enough.)

I'd buy it, though. If it weren't in Russia. A good sized keep would fit inside that very nicely.

**************
DIL has a remote job of importance doing something in leadership with a DC company. And juggling all this. She's who I feel bad for... and she's unflappable like our Teresa. Calm, soft spoken, and lovely.

Today was their anniversary and I texted our son she deserves jewels and a spa day as he does whatever in Sydney. It is a big business bash trip and he'd better be thankful he married a sweetheart and good mother.

I'd be calling him home if one more kid got sick (and she did last month but he was in DC and came home in time for our boy's appendectomy which was not the virus ripping through the rest of us).We are a very calm family.

Last month we had major plumbing damage and I barely batted an eyelash when my husband told me in the midst of my imaginary cholera. Might as well burn the house down. The guys are working quickly in the basement to restore parts of walls yesterday and tomorrow and will paint as well (which is a surprise because I thought we would).

This was an added special treat for hell month, the plumbing issue.

So I figure we are due now for some good times.

Agree. But I risk it all for my sweet and beautiful grands. A suicide mission for me. Risky bidness.

I refused to go to peds as a nursery RN because I'd always get sick if they tried to pull me. I told them oh, hell, no.

But when they are yours you do whatever. This all started last month when the baby harfed on me. As I typically don't get GI stuff I wasn't fazed. I got the virus but didn't shoot the deputy (a take on Eric Clapton's song. Starting to hallucinate).

https://tinyurl.com/3r82uf4u

Now I should be writing my last will, I suppose. Give the baby the emeralds as her birthstone is peridot. Other girlie gets the sapphires for her blue eyes (March bday or amethyst...I do have one pair of amethyst earrings).

If something should render me worse there's my will up there.

It will be better soon.

**************

Encouraging. Probably next on the menu along with black plague or a tick disease from the Congo of Mississippi.

We got home Wed night and I was half dead, pushing through the near cholera to visit my 95yr old mother. The first text as we got to NOLA airport was that the power was off on the farms (generator power only for fridge and lights). I told my brother: find us a hotel. He did and it was really grand with a rolling river for the kids. And AC. I am no pioneer woman with the dregs of cholera. It was restored in 2 days and we rolled with it, all ten of us gypsies from the West and FL. I was the closest to death I've been in awhile, I think. Keep calm and carry on.

On the bright side I don't live in the UK.

My husband and I rarely argue about anything. Today was so special he got ornery with me in the car with the tumbling grandgirl and sickish grandson. I glared at him from the backseat. The green lasers of doom. A few minutes passed and he apologized.

Things will get better, dammit.

194 So, this is way OT for the news of the day, but I am excited.

Mom's 80th birthday is this year in October. I was trying to think of a fitting gift and then I remembered something.

Before I was born, Mom and Dad exchanged cassette letters with Grandma and Grandpa in El Paso. The ones I have are all from Grandma and Grandpa. They are all dated from 1970. The tapes themselves seem to be in decent condition considering they are 5 years older than I am. I listened to them WAY back, maybe 11 or 12.

The content is mostly just daily stuff from what I recall. Grandpa talking about the civil service (he was retired from the Army at the time.) Grandma talking about books and movies. My aunt is on there too as I think it would be 11 or 12 year old.

I am going to try to get them restored and digitized. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reputable place that can not only convert them, but be able to repair/restore them? There are a lot of places online, but I do not want to send them to just any yahoo.

We seriously have a great time normally for almost 50yrs since we met. Once I got past a couple of PMS hissy fits in the distant past it's been smooth sailing.

I was feeling pretty ornery at the time as well with our beloved grands we did not expect for take out dinner and headache whines. But never let them see you sweat or that anything is wrong.

213 Robert the Cat (TM) update.

Well, he threw up in the box he's had since before he was adopted, and it became unacceptable. (Note: he has used this box more than I have used the item that came in it.)

I had another box. Coincidentally, that box also contained something yet to be used. I placed it next to the old box.

And he decided the new box was the new box.

I kind of think that's progress. Now, I just need to buy something else I'll never use, and make sure it is shipped in the right box.

For the future.

My mom never has. She snores as loud as a coal-fired steam engine. That's actually not fair. Coal-fired steam engines aren't so loud. I just use it as an analogy for the *quality* of the noise, not the volume. In terms of decibels, it's closer to a jet engine. Not a small one, either.

*****************
Twenty yrs ago we were in Newark so my dude could talk to a MD there about a weird back thing he has from long distance running. What a hellhole. I was freaked out the entire two days.

We were due in NYC and were going to take a train from the hellish Penn Station in Newark. Total strangers we met in the NJ Hospital heard us talking and said,no, we will give you a ride to Bergen,NJ. Couple our age. I was riding along and thought: "We could disappear and no one would know where we are." They put us on a train to NYC and seemed nice. I hadn't thought of that in years!

A couple of blocks from hotel near Penn Station in Newark, around noon, a snarling cop told us it was safe as daytime. Within 5min a moose limb taxi driver ululated at me and patched out, and we met a bunch of hookers.

I was seriously freaked out and not much fazes me. Have been to all of the UK,a good chunk of Europe, many US cities and wowzers. Those people were mean 20yrs ago (including the cop) and I can only imagine now.

To get back to the airport we could not find a gas station to fill up in the ghetto area we were in for reasons unknown. Then we get to the gas station and realize we can't pump gas. So husband goes into station and his business Visa was rejected, because the Visa could not believe we were in Newark, either.I started laughing hysterically until it took another card.

We tried to drive to see an Iris garden near Einstein's house one day to escape Newark. Not impressed. My grandmother's iris gardens were bigger. That completes our NJ tour as we ate at the hotel and I tried to stay close to it in hopes the mean cop would save me. He was not nice to Southern me and I am charming.

I was watching The Sopranos during its heyday when I first learned about The Wire. I dropped Tony and the gang like a hot potato and watched The Wire and never looked back. Sopranos was a true TV milestone - it ushered in the second golden age of TV. The Wire, however, was a better show IMO.

Yeah thats the rub. Everybody drives here, so the only people that would actually use public transportation are the poor bastards that have to go to NYC. Nobody uses public transportation to just move around jersey. Where I am I don't even see buses. You occasionally will see one hitting certain bus stops on a highway, like Rt9, but nothing locally. Everybody drives. In the cities you'll have buses running up and down the main drag, but in the suburbs or rural areas, nada.

339 Steyer has too damn much & nothing challenging in his life. He simply pisses it away but, with $2.4 billion, he can afford the god complex.

In 2020, Steyer unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for president, spending more than $253 million on his campaign and receiving no pledged delegates before withdrawing in February 2020. In November 2025, he announced a campaign in the 2026 California gubernatorial election to succeed term-limited governor Gavin Newsom;[2] his campaign rapidly became the highest-spending in the field, surpassing $130 million by April 2026.[3].

Well the hot water heater chronicles come to a close with the installation of a new one from Home Despot. They stood behind the warranty on the 5+ y.o. Unit and gave us a new one with a now 9 year warranty. So we're back in reliably hot water.

Time to start looking forward to our upcoming week in Yosemite later this summer.

371 This is California, March 5, 2024 — the Presidential Primary Election.

Steve Garvey was leading leaker Adam Schiff with 1.8 million votes. Then, just like that, his lead was cut in half.

This is called a “glitch” — a phenomenon that mysteriously favors Democrats by default.

In the end, Adam Schiff pulled ahead by a razor-thin margin — statistically impossible.

388 I think tonight’s results in LA are showing exactly what I’ve believed for months - Pratt will easily win a majority of votes actually cast - but votes cast by people now are only about 40% of the votes pumped into the system. LA - really all of California - needs to have its entire state government abolished and be put under a reconstruction authority , backed by military muscle, for at least 10 years.

Or in the alternative, the rest of us can just say “fuck it “ and let the State commit suicide.

The CA primary is shaping up to be Hilton vs Becerra for governor, and Pratt vs Bass for LA mayor. In November. Nobody got over 50% in either, so top two face each other in the general election in each case. The truly massive cheating will occur in November. Right now we have Democrat vs Republican. It looks like there's an actual chance. I think it's to give us a shred of hope so we'll be quiet.

If the rumor is true Bass asked Ramen to stay in so they could shut out Pratt, with two Ds in the fall elections, that choice probably cost Bass an easy 50% vote get. It will be Pratt and Bass, if the cheating doesn't shut him out.

Hoping that Pratt and Bass both go to a runoff, so we can get a giant Pratt summer full of more amazing AI attack ads.

He gives life to the dead and when the bad guys are killing innocent civilians (e.g. Japs vs. Chinese), He "okay, to stop that you have to die." I saw a picture of Gaza yesterday on X. I should reply "You ever see Hiroshima? The Japs had it coming to them. So did Hamas."

19 So here's what I pedict is going to happen in Maine:

The Dem Senators had a meeting with The Nazi and showed him exactly what Kompromat they have on him, and told him that if he plays along, all of this will go away.

All he has to do is win the primary, then he will decide that all of the media attention is just too much for his wife, so he is going to drop out of the race to spend more time with his family (and his Kompromat).

Then the Dems will sweep in, appoint Janet Mills as the new candidate (hey, they already showed that it would work when they put Kamala in before Joe's campaign was dead and buried - they have precedent), bada-bing, bada-boom, Bob's your uncle, and if it works a second time (which it will), we can expect to see this happening in many more elections in the years to come.

Pretty soon, they won't even have to hold primaries or elections - they will just decide who the candidates will be, and if the voters don't like it, well screw them. They're idiots anyway, right?

Someone mark it -

Yeah, I saw the timeline for drop-outs and ballot swaps, but the problem is that Mills seems radioactive because she was willing to mortgage the state for trannies.

TL;DR.

A 750 set and 1,200 minifig Star Wars Lego collection was put on consignment at the Keizer, OR franchise of Bricks&Minifigs. Store changed ownership under dubious circumstances. New owners tried to pretend the collection did not exist. Store lost in OR small claims court and promptly shut down instead of returning the remaining sets.

Insert scenes of lots of theater and cops behaving very badly.

Now the previous store owners are suing in Utah B&M over the termination. Meanwhile B&M is suing Reckless Ben and others under civil RICO for 'a coordinated' action of harming B&M and stalking.

Now B&M is trying to silence Reckless Ben but they are far too late as, to quote Firefly, the signal got out. Now the likes of Asmondgold and Smash JT are covering it.

The feckless losers are being systematically wiped out by the MAGA faction of the GOP.

This is very much a 1972/1984 vibe going on. The Dems are deciding to blow everything up and in the process declaring the most dull, squishy, suburban soccer-mom friendly GOP to be HITLER, but they are the ones who also want to wipe out the Jews and proudly wear the Totenkopf.

Oh, and they are also nominating Mohammed Abdul Death-to-American Jihadi.

73 I'd like an omelette, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast. No mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.

Waitress: A number two. Chicken salad sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?

Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.

A brilliant scene. Probably took half a day to shoot with all the camera setups necessary. The actress who played the waitress was terrific. She once said that she based her portrayal on quite a few waitresses at roadside stops when she traveled around the country.

83 Healthcare update USA: while anything is better than the UK or Canada, the hesitation for antibiotics is unreal. Twice I could have used them WAY before they finally gave me one in the past two years for sinus stuff.

Today our 9mo old baby girl had a urine test and chest x-ray (no pneumonia) for fever and vomiting since Friday. We still don't know what is wrong with her. I suppose it could be viral. However, her urine test, if it were mine for example, would be a UTI. I guess she may have to suffer for another day for an antibiotic and the 1st culture. Wth? Cloudy, tr RBC, I forget how many WBC, +1 protein is not normal.

Granted, a small boy sneezed right in her sweet face on a plane on Wed evening, so there's that. This sweetie has been sick off and on for a month and I am going to have her for a few weeks before their next trip. We all could be dead by then.

Meanwhile there are two Mexicans cutting a large dead aspen across the street and don't seem to know what they are doing.

Not complaining, it's just how the last six weeks have gone. We should have better weeks/months ahead and send the bad karma elsewhere.

'Tis the end of an odd day, and I'm yawning and ready to hit the pillow soon. The Bekins guy came by this morning to video my apartment and its furniture. They estimate about $4500 if I have them pack some of the stuff; if not, it would be less, and the actual weight could change the calculation too. Compared to loading a truck myself, even with the help of some hired labor, I think it might be worth while to let them pack certain things.

Otherwise, I'm off to the eyeglass place tomorrow to see about getting some driving glasses; and the home inspection is supposed to occur on Thursday.

Primary Results Thread

Correction: NY's primaries are on June 23, not tonight. Dan Goldman will not be booted out for another three weeks, alas.

Another big race: In New Jersey, the Blind Sheikh's lawyer and character witness, and member of an Al Qaeda front group, and the man who claimed there were no tunnels under the hospital he worked at (despite a Hamas commander being killed in those tunnels, will probably win.

Democrats also have a big primary in the solidly blue 12th District, where Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman is retiring. A whopping 13 candidates are on the ballot. The frontrunner is plastic surgeon Adam Hamawy, a progressive former Army physician who saved the life of now-Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois in Iraq (she's endorsed him). He leads the field with $1.0 million raised and has benefited from $1.6 million in outside support from American Priorities, a super PAC that supports progressive Democrats who are critical of Israel.
Still, the Egyptian-born Hamawy has attracted scrutiny over some connections from his past. This includes volunteering for a medical association in Bosnia in the mid-1990s that later was found to have ties to Al-Qaida, and a relationship with Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as "The Blind Sheikh," who was convicted for his role in the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

I don't think I'll be posting much so check in with Ed Morrissey for more coverage.

In California, of course, we'll see the primaries for LA mayor and CA governor. The current top three candidates for governor are Obama/Biden corrupt non-entity Xavier Bercera, Republican Steve Hilton (that British populist who used to appear on Fox News), and evil billionaire lunatic Tom Steyr. I sure hope that Republican sheriff Chad Bianco can pull head so we can have two Republicans in the general, but I doubt it.

In the mayor's race, polling has it Basura first, Pratt second, and Nithya Raman third. Pratt has to hold on to second to make it to the general, and we also don't want Basura to get more than 50% of the "votes," because then she wins the contest without having to go the general.

Decision Desk's twitter account.

Update: You're not going to believe this, but another Zohran Mamdani-endorsed congressional candidate turns out to be a communist.

CNN:

Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist congressional candidate endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, deleted a previous Twitter account that included thousands of posts and reposts expressing support for abolishing police, prisons and borders, as well as seizing private property and nationalizing major industries and calling into question Israel's right to exist.
Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old investigator at a public defender's office in New York City and doctoral student, has emerged as one of the most prominent left-wing challengers in the country after Mamdani endorsed her bid to unseat longtime Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York's 13th Congressional District.
But the posts from her since-deleted account from over the last decade have drawn scrutiny amid her high-profile challenge of Espaillat, a five-term incumbent and chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. That primary, scheduled for June 23, has become a closely watched proxy battle between the Democratic Party's establishment and its ascendant democratic-socialist wing, with Mamdani's endorsement last week elevating the race's national profile.

In theory yes; in practice no. I believe that he would have to break 50% in order to win outright, and he's polling under 25% in the multi-candidate matchup. If anyone wins in this first ballot, it would be from the fraud machine putting Basura over the top.

39 This seems like a good place for "Orson's Time Traveling Theory".

Theory:
We keep hearing the rationalization that no one will ever be able to time travel, because surely we would have stumbled across a time traveler from the future by now (and let's leave physics out of this. I know it is supposed that time travel can only be to the future, and not the past).

So, my theory is that you can witness time travelers in real time at any major event if you are observant and look for them specifically. Human nature is to pick out a spectacle to view. However, during such an event, the last thing on your mind is looking for such travelers.

Ignore the two planes hitting the tower and watch that guy over on the street corner with the weird hat and bellbottoms (future quartermasters suck). Ignore the wave of molasses and pay attention to the guy that with the little row boat on Charter Str. holding a pancake in his hand.

You should see the 9mm v. 45 ACP arguments or girls versus boys.

In my case and my area, there is a massive spike in batshit crazy behavior, horrible THC intoxicated driving, and synthetic THC drugs sold over the counter as 'hemp'. Police have given up enforcing laws against it as 'hemp' was legalized and promptly the TBD laced became THC laced instead. I also have seen and known artisans that cannot hire young people without them having serious issues with gas station heroin, gummy THCs, etc.

And I think it is spurring murders, etc. This is not the dope of yore with low THC levels but really powerful stuff being sold either natural via plant breeding or synthetic. And I think it is going to get worse before it gets better--each generation has to be burned in order to be a lesson to the newest generation coming up.

In days of yore, it used to be the liquor store. But neither are particularly helpful and I think THC is far more psychoactive than we have been led to believe which risks mental issues--alcohol can soak the brain but it takes a long time to pickle it. Most die horribly of other problems like cirrhosis of the liver or other things first.

But I think psychoactive drugs have the risk of permanently rewiring the brain, perhaps in some cases for the better, but many for the worse. And I think it is particularly bad for young people as their brains are still growing in young adulthood that alcohol simply does not affect in the same way.

7-OH (formally known as 7-hydroxymitragynine) is a chemical compound that naturally occurs in low levels in the kratom plant. Isolated or concentrated forms of 7-OH – such as those found in tablets, capsules, shots and liquid extracts – present significant risks. Concentrated forms of 7-OH are 13 times more potent than morphine, according to the FDA, and may lead to seizures, substance abuse disorder, withdrawal, overdose, and even death.

7-OH products are often falsely marketed as natural kratom, though they contain enhanced levels of lab-created or synthesized substances. These products are engineered to be addictive, and they are often designed to look like everyday candies, gummies, and even ice cream cones in an attempt to appeal to teens and young adults.

The People's Liberation Army. They told Mao ditch the yutes and the Gang of Four or be deposed. And they had the guns and people to do it.

Mao crumbled and his wife plus the other members of the gang of four were swept out of power and you got the old PLA comrades of Mao come back into power--Chou En Lai, who then brought back Deng Tsao Ping, etc.

It probably helped that China and USSR nearly came to the USSR launching a nuclear attack on China for being batshit crazy during the Amur River crisis. USSR asked us if it was okay to nuke China through back channels which is what started the Nixon administration to try to woo China for that and Vietnam.

The plant that kratom comes from is mitragayna speciosa, it’s more related to the coffee plant than the poppy.

It’s found and grown all over Southeast Asia and the Southern Pacific, especially Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. The natives chew on the leaves for the effects.

Try going into your average mom and pop gas station nowadays, in many states, it is chocka block full of synthetic 'power' and 'energy' formulations of synthetic drugs with vague descriptions. Back in the day, they sold bath salts until state legislatures banned that. Now the state legislatures and Fedgov are playing whackamole with synthetic drug suppliers and sellers with most of it sourced from China. In many cases, because these are organic compounds, you simply design a new compound slightly different than the old one and sell that until banned. Repeat ad absurdum.

My reading is that Mao's death was the decisive event. The PLA leadership was unhappy with the loss of ranks, the forfeiture of a decade of professionalism and study of modern warfare and their humiliation in border clashes with the Soviets was intolerable.

But while Mao was alive, he could keep the kids crazy.

The Gang of Four did not have that power.

I have a friend who gets bad gout occasionally and a really bad knee that causes him pain, He needed opioids for it. So I told him to try some kratom to see if that would help him instead.

We got some “Pimp Grade Maeng Da” (supposedly the most powerful processed kratom money can buy) to see if it helped the knee pain. He tried it and saud it didn’t really help, That could be because he got tolerance from all the painkilkers he took, though.

A lot of people use it for pain management and swear by it.

It’s also good for ex-heroin addicts who are trying to tamp down urges.

You could try some and see if it helps.
You can buy it online, but it’s banned in some cities, counties, and states have banned it, so you’d need to check on that first.

Yes. Mao launched the Cultural Revolution to restore his power. He had been sidelined after the disaster of the Great Leap Forward, but the youth only knew him as a venerable founder of the nation. So he weaponized them against their elders.

The PLA, which had been professionalized, was wrecked overnight. It tried to put down the Red Guards, and got crushed.

163 At the latest stages of the Cultural Revolution, in 1975, Zhou pushed for the "Four Modernizations" in order to undo the damage caused by Mao's policies.

And that was the beginning of the end of the Gang of Four. Zhou was dying of bladder cancer and preceded Mao's death but the pathway and successor to Mao was not going to the Red Guard and the associated Gang of Four. Mao died and Huo Guofeng got rid to the Gang formally but their power was shriveling as the olds came back to power in key positions from political Siberia.

We are seeing natural THC levels at 18-20-30 percent compared with the 3-8 percent of yore in 70's marijuana. Synthetic or spiked natural products like gummies, vaping extract, etc. are even higher. Cannabis concentrates represent the highest THC level products, typically containing 60% to 90% THC. And are responsible for the bulk of emergency room THC poisoning cases,

Like in Colorado,
"Emergency room visits for marijuana-related issues rose three-fold between 2012 and 2016, with edibles causing disproportionate adverse reactions despite comprising less than 1% of total THC sales."

Good to know. Side note: when I had a kidney stone, percocet did not really 'work' per se. They just made the pain manageable and distant.

During my various surgeries and accidents, I am well acquainted with opiods. Frankly I don't care for them. I take them as prescribed and finish the prescription and don't get a second one. For things like knee surgery and the immediate need for rehab, they are a necessary evil but I don't like feeling like I don't care whether I am alive or dead.

I got Dilaudid after crushing my knee cap in a fall from the ER. Don't care for it, makes me nauseous. Had morphine drips in hospital for knee surgery, don't care for it, destroys my personality into a flat affect, had oxycontin, gives me an excruciating headache and nausea. Told docs I was allergic to it. Substitued vicodin, slight relief, but you cannot think on it and it last just enough during sleep that you wake up after 4-5 hours in pain. Had fentanyl for recent spinal surgery, arm and elbow surgeries, etc. It eliminates pain but also thought.

So, outside of actual surgery, I find painkillers as a drag--they give you constipation, they cloud your mind, etc.

Acute pain like kidney stones need treatment. But taking them for chronic pain is like putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger. I have chronic pain due to arthritic damage from inflammatory arthritis. Major joints are deteriorated, nerves got pinched by bone spurring, etc. My conclusion is better to just live with it and use heat, ice, stretching, pt, movement, and sleep as best as you can. Beats whatever the chemists cook up in the long run plus much less side effects.

I'm with you whig. I'm weaning off oxycodone after almost 5 years on it, after multiple back surgeries during that time. I hate it with a passion and have been off for 2 weeks now. The pain is still there but I'd almost rather deal with that than the side-effects of the drug.

186 How AI describes Ranked Choice Voting (RCV):

How RCV Works

Ranking Candidates: Voters can rank candidates from their most preferred to least preferred.
Vote Counting:
All first-choice votes are counted initially.
If a candidate receives more than 50% of the first-choice votes, they win.
If no candidate achieves a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated.
Votes for the eliminated candidate are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on the voters' next preferences.
This process continues until a candidate secures a majority.

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at June 02, 2026 10:00 PM (l3cgK)

187 So RCV means if you have one Rep and 2 dems, and the Rep gets 49.99% of the vote a Dem will probably win...

188 Polls will close momentarily here in California.

One disheartening thing for Republicans is that the Party couldn't come up with recommended candidates for some offices.

CalMatters was one of the better sources of briefs on leading candidates for some of these offices.

And of course, 61 candidates for governor was kind of entertaining during the voting process.

Democrats Meet With Nazi Feces-Fetishist Graham Platner To Ask If It's Just the Nazi Tattooo/Communism/Mockery of a Purple Heart Hero/Racism/Obsessive Sexting, Or If There's a Real Scandal Coming

Spoiler: They're sticking with the Communist Nazi serial adulterer welfare layabout aroused by the smell of human waste.

Maine Democratic Senate primary frontrunner Graham Platner is scheduled to meet with Democratic senators in Washington on Tuesday afternoon, according to two people familiar with the plans.
Why it matters: The long-planned meeting will give senators an opportunity to ask Platner directly about allegations that he sent sexually explicit text messages to as many as a dozen women in 2023, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
Over the weekend, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) indicated he had questions about the allegations.
"Yes, I have concerns," Booker said on ABC News. "That guy has questions to answer. And that's what campaigns are for."
Zoom out: Democrats are increasingly concerned about Platner's viability in a must-win Senate race and whether the revelations about the text messages represent the campaign's final embarrassment -- or merely its latest.
...
State of play: Platner has disputed aspects of the reporting, but his campaign has not denied its central claim -- that he sent explicit text messages to other women after marrying in late 2023.
"Graham isn't saying the texts to other women at the start of the marriage are not real. They are," a campaign official told media outlets. "He's frustrated by the sensationalization of several private facts relayed by a former confidante to journalists."

Schumer would only say that the Democrats are going to beat Susan Collins.

"I met with Graham Platner today," Schumer told reporters at his weekly news conference. "We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate."

He also re-stated his endorsement of the Nazi.

🚨 WATCH
Chuck Schumer dodges questions about Graham Platner FOUR times before doubling down on his endorsement.
SCHUMER: "Any other subject you got?"
Q: "Are you still supporting Graham Platner?"
SCHUMER: "I endorsed Graham Platner."

All the other Nazis are lining up behind their bearded beflanneled Reinhard Heydrich.

By the way, I'm not going to be covering the California mayoral and gubernatorial elections tonight. California may take weeks to " " " count " " " the " " " votes. " " " They need to figure out how many they need to manufacture and then manufacture them.

Democrats really enjoy "winning" "elections" in the 5th Quarter.

The Police-Assisted Race Murder continues to cause controversy, for some reason.

Cathy Newman, who was exposed for her low-IQ hackery by Jordan Peterson ("so you're saying women are lobsters..."), doesn't understand why anyone would feel "rage" at the murder of Henry Nowak. When asked what emotion she feels, she won't answer, and insists that she is the one doing the interviewing.

But when her interview subject makes points she doesn't want made, she repeatedly interrupts him and now changes the nature of the discussion: Now it's not that she's interviewing him, so his words should be the star. Now they're having a conversation, and she should get to make all the political points she wants to make.

Cathy Newman is unable to confirm she thinks white lives matter as much as black lives.

Henry Nowak's father never once said "I don't want any accountability from the police or the system that caused his death" -- but the left is pretending that his single sentence about "division" means just that.

And they're pretending away the other things he said, like that it is no longer arguable that UK uses Two Tier Policing, and that that policing caused his son's death.

The family also said that it was unbearable and undeniable that we saw here Two Tier Policing. The family also said he wanted the Sikh knife exception repealed.

The left keeps cherry-picking which parts of the family's statements we must obey while pretending the rest away. https://t.co/oVZwuN7SV1

This "former senior police officer" named Neil Basu came out publicly in support of Black Lives Matter & said protestors were "right to be angry".
Not this time though - you're not allowed to be angry this time.

There are many such posts on Twitter, pointing out that leftists declared that it was good to be angry -- and justifiable to riot -- after George Floyd committed suicide by eating all of the drug evidence against him now saying that people just need to accept that their lives are subject to the whim of whatever orc feels aggrieved today.

44 I had to bug out and prepare lunch but I am back with a thought.

When I first heard the rivers of blood speech, I was surprised that Enoch Powell said something about how the young in England see no hope for the future and many plan to emigrate. Surprised because things were not so bad back then, but maybe in mill towns (where he was mostly talking about) it was already very bad. Many paki's imported as cheap mill labor. (the left made it all about "blacks" and the windrush 1000 or so and racism, not the 10s of thousands of pakis and cheap labor.

In grad school I knew a few expats and I was even then surprised (80s) that many said there was no future and no upward mobility in UK. To become better than what you are born, you have to emigrate.

Yesterday JJ links had an item that Britain got 1M migrants and 600K citizens leaving just last year!

Decades of that, and mostly all that are left are serfs. All is lost.

The Dems desperately need Pratt to finish third. So he and his supporters won't mercilessly continue to ridicule Bass and the LA Democrat Machine for another five months. I expect the 'official' voting results will have him finishing third. Behind Bass and the other Democrat. I will not be surprised if Bass officially gets more than 50 per percent. Then there will not be a subsequent election in November; Bass will be elected mayor in today's jungle primary. It's the safest course for the Democrats. They'll get Bass officially over 50 percent in a week or so, by hook or crook.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the Surveyor 1 landing on the Moon. This was our first try and it worked like a charm.

Unfortunately the Rooskies beat us there too by about 4 months, landing Luna 9 in Feb. They had the first satellite, first man, first orbiting man, and then first soft landing on the Moon.

We took the lead soon after. Thank God.

We could otherwise consider it the death-rattle of a party how they have a chain of incidents where they are forced into decisions.

They had to draft Biden into the race in 2020, because so many of the brand-name Dem voters didn't want anything to do with the radical side of the party that had begun to smell like bad fish. And then the rigged their party *from* having a primary doubling-down on Joe in 2024, until he utterly collapsed like we suspected he would, and then they crane-lifted Kamala who hadn't won a primary, and on and on it goes. Forced decisions and own-goals.

Now, well we have to run Platner because--vetting be fucked! And we have to have somebody with some semblance of testosterone-which again--the elite Dems pretty much despise.

Democrats are simply an organized crime syndicate designed to capture government to rob it with patsy front men while the ones behind the scenes make bank from fraud and cronyism. They use commie philosophy and commie rhetoric to hide behind and rally their mentally defective storm troopers but these assholes running the Dem party don't believe in anything other than getting paid.

Same with their gimmedat faction that is fine with white libs trooning their kids, having no kids, etc. as long as the gimmedats get their fraud from Uncle Sam.

And the cosplay college factions are a bunch of loser lunatics that want to burn everything to the ground because they have been educated beyond their native intelligence. Same with the asshole foreign college crowd, they want to bring their own country crap with them.

So you get a shitshow of a party.

154 It might be that der Putzkommandant - or his staff - are noting to the DNC that if he's forced off the race after all this dirt which is now public already, the DNC has no leverage anymore. So Platner could just endorse Collins and send his fans over to MAGA.
I suspect a few Platner supporters went to him because they just don't like Collins. A lot of us right here don't like Collins.

The less forgiving version is that she’s been enabling it and is now seeking to try to find an excuse for what we all saw, while also suggesting here and there that there’s much more than maybe even she’s willing to admit to herself.”

We have had alcohol and learned how to deal with in society since the mists of pre history. Not really true of today's bio engineered THC products.

We are essentially running a massive natural experiment how high THC dosages affect people and so far, the data doesn't look good. Kids are getting hold of edibles, you have massive spikes in THC related poisonings in hospitals in places like Colorado, it is killing pets that end up ingesting it.

It is a societal problem that too many casual users of pot ignore in order for access to what they want.

And the whataboutism is simply boring and tedious by this time. Uneducated kids in public schools, well whatabout parents that homeschool their kids and do nothing with them---etc. etc.

We have ran unregulated THC natural experiment long enough to know that it is causing serious problems for society. We already know those relating to alcohol or even opium, not from high THC products. And we should address those problems by regulation just as we do with gas station heroin products at gas stations.

Yep. The rich get sent to dry out clinics while the poor get sent to prison from misbehaving under the influence. Poor have no insulation while money buys a lot of lawyers and the ability to payoff people rather than going to jail.

Middle class is most likely to get it from both ends, they can afford enough decadence to ruin themselves thoroughly but don't qualify for a lot of safety net benefits of the truly poor--so they often get a double whammy being launched in the street people class with little or no understanding how those worlds work.

262 Okay, I did my own research. If we were to airdrop Liberty Starter Kits on Britain (formerly Great), what calibers of Freedom Seeds would be most appropriate? Obviously, you would want ones where you could get more.

Although many police in England are unarmed, what guns they have are fortunately quite standard. They use 9mm pistols, 5.56x45mm carbines, 7.62x51mm sniper rifles, and 12-gauge shotguns. Typical NATO loadout.

I was unable to get a clear answer for what might be found in a typical mosque armory, but arrest data indicates that the guns most commonly found on criminals in England and Europe are 9mm pistols, while the most commonly confiscated smuggled guns are AK-47s.

I didn't realize 9mm was such a standard for cops and criminals alike, so that makes things easier. Several companies make Pistol-Caliber Carbines that take Glock magazines, which are very common indeed, and that would add accuracy and comfort if you're not concerned with concealability. So that would be my suggestion, if we arm the Native Britons against their alien conquerors and Vichy collaborators, just go 9mm for long and hand Pew Pews alike, and with compatible magazines too.

That is a rather ignorant argument based on French philosophers--that which does not kill you makes you stronger. Most contaminants in the water were bacteria and you don't really develop bacterial resistance the same way you do for viruses. Cholera,. Typhoid,Polio, Giardia, and Hep A,and Dysentery, were common mass epidemics based on contaminated drinking water.

It would be as if you argued smoking more dope made your resistance to it higher and resulted in better health.

The key to any poison is the dose determines the effect. And THC or bacterial contaminants, just as alcohol is, are poisons of a sort.

Yes which is rather stupid for a product named 'weed' for ease of growth. Greshams law meant that illegal weed was still cheaper than government weed because the costs of production were cheaper.

That is not true of distilling which is a pita and somewhat dangerous for unskilled people to do. And homemade wine or beer can often be a frustratingly slow and tedious process to learn enough to make it taste okay.

If the court ruling that home distilling is protected activity, I doubt that many people would actually do it versus buying it from the liquor store.

Massive US grain crops that could not all be exported is why. 1840's is about when the great reawakening really began to take hold in the US with a number of religious sects concentrating on reducing drunkeness and stigmatizing its use.

The new high potency stuff really reeks nowadays and you can sniff it on people that don't bother to change clothes when they smoke it. Smells like a literal skunk spray does.

307 Yup. And then the taxes and regulation compliance priced it above pot, and the black market flourished, at a higher price.

308 If the court ruling that home distilling is protected activity, I doubt that many people would actually do it versus buying it from the liquor store.

Yeah I don't drink enough to even think about making my own booze. Wine on the other hand, or mead, yeah might be cool. I got some good wine makers in the family should I ever decide to go there.

310 If you drank water in those days, your life would be a lot shorter because of contaminated sources. So people drank booze.

I have always been skeptical about this. Lots of 3rd world countries people drink water. There are only a few situations where it is a big problem. (like botfiles or during a typhus outbreak.)

I wonder if this is true, or just sounds true.

there is this

"U.S. forces successfully defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and conducted self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East, June 2.

Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces.

Moments earlier, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces shot down three one-way attack drones launched by Iran toward civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters. American forces also conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island.

No U.S. personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire"

LOL "ceasefire"

Some probably do, but that is the same for craft beer drinkers versus whatever is cheapest at the liquor store. The mass of the market just wants shit to get them f*cked up. You cannot explain Blatz, Milwaukee's Best (an oxymoron title of course), Colt 45 Malt Liquor, and other nasty concoctions. Same with the cheap generic red or white wines or fortified wine like Night Train.

So the mass of people were always going to buy the illegal shit and if caught, how do the cops distinguish between illegal and legal weed. Answer--they can't.

323 284 I don't know how the LA Mayor election works. Can Spencer Platt win outright in this election, or do we get to continue getting his campaign ads poking fun at Karen Bass-ackwards until a later election?
Posted by: Hour of the Wolf at June 02, 2026 07:38 PM (qx7Zg)

In theory yes; in practice no. I believe that he would have to break 50% in order to win outright, and he's polling under 25% in the multi-candidate matchup. If anyone wins in this first ballot, it would be from the fraud machine putting Basura over the top.

Posted by: SciVo at June 02, 2026 07:50 PM (Sy6m/)

324 Oh, yeah. They'll ask, he'll deny and they're clear.

They better fuc*ing find out if that assh*le is on TDIU Veterans Benefits for his 100% VA disability before he becomes a U.S. Senator.

(And though he can pull oyster beds from the bay for camera, travel to from Norway for alleged infertility treatments, dance like a jackass in his teeny silkie briefs at weddings, go on cross-country campaign and funding trails, etc.)

Yuk. More gross than Eric Stalwell!

325 Schumer is 'supposed' to be Jewish. He even patronizes those districts and synagogues. An yet he supports the election of an anti-seminist, Nazi death camp guard heritage. This begs the question, 'Just what is Charles Schumer? To whom does he represent? He is the typical Jew building a golden calf at the base of Mt. Sinai. Professing his fealty to false idols in hope of personal gain. He hoped to gain another seat in the Senate in spite of his Jewish constituents. Better to have a Nazi (anti-sematic) vote than a Heritage Republic, conservative vote that defends our Constitution of "We the People (citizens)".
