"We have no dignity anymore"

The quote above is from a video by Spencer Pratt (included below) about the Lindsay Clancy case. Which may be leading to some similar cases:

"IS THIS THE NEW ME TOO MOVEMENT?" "An Illinois mother allegedly hanged her 2-year-old son that she described as the 'anti-Christ' - - hours after discussing the Lindsay Clancy case with friends. . . '

But today, since we are in the Labor Day Weekend, perhaps we can touch upon some othe issues related to dignity - some references to communism and other forms of totalitarianism and the dignity of our educational systems.

But back to murders related to mental health. Matt Vespa wrote that some of the JURORS wore pink in apparent solidarity with the defendant.

The Spencer Pratt video mentioned pre-dated the mistrial. It's not just this case:

Abandoning Totalitarianism

Remembering J.R.R.Tolkien who passed away this day in 1973. In 1938, Nazis demanded to know if he was Jewish. He responded with a high-class burn.

Senate Democrat nominee James Talarico appears ready to bring a touch of Trotsky to Texas. In a video from a climate forum, Talarico is shown declaring capitalism an “oppressive system” linked with white supremacy and that it must be “dismantled” to achieve a better world. It is reminiscent of Leon Trotsky, who denounced the “fundamental evil of the capitalist system” and called on citizens to free themselves from its oppression. The Democratic Socialists of America and radical sites have long called “to dismantle the capitalist state.”

History illuminates the present. I've been reading Stephen Kotkin's widely and justly praised multivolume biography of Joseph Stalin and have encountered many passages that illuminate the present.
I learned, for example, that Stalin met the exiled Vladimir Lenin more than a decade before the October 1917 revolution, and that by the early 1920s until his death in 1924, Lenin was in failing health, confined to an estate with "a staff, including the worker-cook Spiridon Putin," Russian President Vladimir Putin's grandfather.
That provides an interesting context for Vladimir Putin's 2005 speech in which he said that "the collapse of the Soviet Union was the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of the century."

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

[A very memorable day here at Casa Misanthrope]

Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival there are just a few house keeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in East St. Louis.)

1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind. Be nice. Don't be Pretti Good.
3) No. I don't care if Austin's parents let him run with a chain saw. They hate him.
4) Have a great weekend you laborers!

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.
Prayer Requests:
5/23 – I used to have a Different Nic could use some prayers as he waits for the results of a biopsy of a mass on his prostate.
6/23 Update – The latest update is that he has stage 2, “unfavorable intermediate”, which he notes is an awful name, but what it means is, it is in the middle, but bad enough that they want to treat it. It’s more aggressive than previously thought. He is at the point where he has to decide on treatment options, which means choosing which set of pretty unfortunate side effects he prefers.
8/20 Update – He has finished his radiation treatment, so all he has left are blood tests and waiting. Thanks for everything.
7/25 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted an update. She is still doing fine. Her chemo pump seems to be working and everything appears stable for now. She says she is incredibly blessed! She is working on a stocking for an as-yet-not-born grandchild. She would appreciate prayers for a successful IVF procedure and pregnancy for her daughter and hubby. Next week, Teresa and her husband will be going to California to visit their daughter who lives there and her family.
8/4 Update – Teresa was admitted to the hospital while on vacation in California. She has a bad infection – cellulitis - not due to the cancer. She is being treated with antibiotics and hopefully it will be cleared up in a couple of days.
8/28 Update – Teresa’s bloodwork is back, and everything looks steady. She has a CT scan on 9/4.
7/29 – Notsothoreau asked for prayers for Billy Ray’s mother, who was just admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. She is a cancer survivor and chemo destroyed her immune system, so this is a big worry.
8/2 Update – Billy Ray’s mother is feeling better, on oxygen and medication. She is not out of the woods, but has stabilized. She appreciates the prayers from around the globe and says thank you very much.
8/16 Update – Billy Ray’s mother is at home, recovering, and down to just needing a little oxygen at night. One of the doctors told her that he didn’t think she was going to make it. Prayer works.
7/29 – TecumsehTea wrote that MrTea’s diagnosis is colon cancer stage 4. They are praying for guidance for how to proceed.
8/12 Update – MrTea will start radiation treatments for the tumor in the sigmoid colon on Monday – 10 treatments. They are not sure what will follow; they are still looking at options. Surgery is not an option. The cancer has metastasized to the lymph node nearest the tumor and there are 3-5 small spots in the liver. There are also spots in his lung which are indeterminate. He continues on fenben and ivermectin. Prayers are appreciated.
7/30 – David sent an update on his wife, Susan, who we have been praying for as she is treated for cancer. Susan is still doing well and her numbers are headed in the right direction, but they are still having issues with the side effects of the chemotherapy. It is manageable, but they have to increase the number of office visits for additional treatments. Some days are really good right now, but others are only bearable with the Lord’s grace. They are so grateful for the prayers on their behalf.
8/26 Update – Susan’s cough has gotten so bad that they did X-rays on her chest. It might be pneumonia. She is in the hospital. Her sodium and blood pressure are low and she is not eating much now. They are trying to turn this around and ask for everyone’s prayers.
9/2 Update – Susan is back in the ICU. She either has an infection or the cancer has spread to her lungs. Either way, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for Susan and please continue them.
8/8 – Ace-Endorsed Author A. H. Lloyd posted that Mrs. Lloyd will undergo a double mastectomy to remove the breast cancer. She has advanced to Stage 1. Much hinges on the biopsy to determine the specific sub-category of cancer and whether chemo is necessary. Please pray for her in this time of need.
8/22 Update – Mrs. Lloyd is healing ahead of schedule and the surgeon was amazed at her progress. She is still in pain and has limited mobility, but each day she is gaining more freedom of movement. That is the good news; the bad news was the unrealistic expectations set by the medical staff. The surgery was much more significant, and she will also need chemo, contrary to what she was told before.
8/8 – Retired Buckeye Cop requested prayers for his nephew, Josh, who is losing his business due to overwhelming debt. Old addictions have returned; he is drinking heavily. He is currently estranged from his family. His mother is Mrs. Cop’s kid sister.
8/12 – Joe Kidd asked for prayers for a friend’s cousin, who is beginning chemo treatments for stage 3 cancer.
8/14 – RandomDave asked for renewed prayers for his job situation. He just found out that the position he was close to getting went to someone else, and doesn’t know where to turn. He hates to ask, but is getting desperate. He has a GiveSendGo set up; please contact Annie’s Stew for more info. Thanks to those who have already given and thank you for the prayers. They are keeping him from giving up.
8/15 – Donna V contacted Mis. Hum. to let the Horde know the following: “Please let the horde know I am doing fine in hospice”. She would appreciate your prayers.
8/15 – Buck requested prayers for his wife. She is diabetic, and had a bad day on 8/14, with weakness, vomiting, irregular pulse, high blood pressure. She has had sepsis 3 times. They went to ER, but they only gave her meds for nausea, and now she’s back home. Pray that she recovers quickly. Thanks to all.
8/15 – Intruder Driver asked for prayers for Tonya, who was burned over 90% of her body in a gas explosion in Cabo San Lucas. She is now in a hospital in Mexico City. She has a long road to recovery, if she survives.
8/22 Update – Tonya did not survive her burns. Prayers for her and her husband Rusty, who were/are active members of their local church in Mexico.
8/27 – P asks for prayers for the soul of her nephew, C, who committed suicide on 8/17. He was only 32. May he find the peace in the afterlife that he could not find in this life.
8/26 – Teresa in Fort Worth asks for prayers for her BIL, Dick, who was found dead in the alley behind the house in Texas. He had been in declining health and had dementia. They aren’t sure how long he was outside before he passed away. Teresa’s SIL seems to be handling it okay so far. Teresa also asks for prayers for a former neighbor, Melissa, who is hospitalized, recovering from a second stem cell/bone marrow transplant as they attempt to cure her leukemia. She now has blood blisters in her mouth and throat. She had to be intubated before her throat closed completely. This might be her body rejecting the transplant.
8/27 – “…” asked for prayers for healing (and sleep) for Brit Lass. She is having tests, and so far they are good, but she is worried. She has an imaging test coming up and then an appointment with a surgeon.
8/30 – SPinRH_F-16 requested prayers for classmate “D.B.”, who has ALS. Please pray that he remains as comfortable as possible and for support for his family as they see him through this. Thank you in advance for your earnest prayers.
9/2 – Bulg asked for prayers for purpose in his life.
For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

This case was such a weird one to go crazy over, I've got to believe that there's some personal issue involved.

I believe that all of the Clancy Supporters were seeking the Devil's Absolution...so, to speak for their previous abortions.

In other words, if this woman is found innocent of murdering her already born and living in her family children, and and and what she did so much worse than me killing my unborn club of cells child,

then I must be innocent of my baby death cuz I had reasons too!

Something along those lines.

I think you have it about right. It's not just an absolution for Clancy, it's a blanket amnesty for all. No need for self-restraint, humility, personal accountability, individual agency, or morality of any kind. Permission to be 'as God', the original sin.

Pretty sure that the lone juror holdout also didn't wear a Covid-1984 mask or get the Kill Shot.

Anyone who can put up with a room full of insane, rule-of-law hating vindictive shrews, harridans and simps probably has greater moral character than many.

54 Free Press reported Canadian mothers can kill their kids up to one year old with only a light penalty, and then quoted a female professor asking if that time limit was "defective" and should perhaps be expanded, so that women like Clancy wouldn't face onerous trials after murdering their children.

Serious question: Has Satan taken over the minds of Canadian professors?

Constitution 2.0 will fix that.

Judges are promoted or demoted based on
1) Recidivism of criminals released.
2) Rulings overturned or sustained
3) Quality control of judicial decisions, based on jurisdictional prosperity. (That Delaware judge is right out)
4) A Presidential promotion or demotion letter
5) Other factors, to be determined by native-citizen voters.

I believe the biggest problem with the Judicial branch is that we’re depending on it to solve problems of governance that they should never have been asked. And these questions are brought to them because our legislatures, both state and federal, have become useless shells focused on self enrichment.

You may say “but these Judges overrule anything they don’t like!” Well of course, anyone granted absolute power starts to act like that. But why don’t the legislatures knock them down? They could if they wanted; but then they would have to start actually doing their jobs, so they’d rather not.

We have a union guy who works with the local MDA chapters for the annual fundraising event. It's been a kickback scheme to the union for years. I stood out "filling the boot" and telling everyone the money is not for firefighters, but for disabled kids. I since learned a good chunk of the money raised goes back to the IAFF International. When I found that out, I stopped participating. It's probably going to ruffle some feathers this year and I look forward to it.

Looks like Ukraine is trying to get the US Congress to implement foreign policy through targeted tariffs.

Commodity traders are whining that oil and grains are in very short supply and will result in crisis for nations that can't afford to compete with wealthier nations.

So naturally, Congress ignores the "Affordability Issue"™ and wants to sanction any nation that buys oil or grain from Russia.

if Ukraine has to suffer, the whole damned world has to suffer too—lets just hope that our feckless retards that allegedly represent us and refuse to pass the SAVE America Act or implement any DOGE recommendations, or do anything about the trillions spent on fraud won't decide that they really represent Zelenskyy.

117 Massachusetts has quirky law that put the burden on the prosecutor to prove that Clancy was sane enough to be guilty. But this jury was intent on letting her off no matter the facts or the law.

It's mixing up Guilt with Punishment.
FFS, she's Guilty -- not Innocent.
She intended to kill her kids and did so by her own hand with premeditation. One. Two. Three.
Any sympathy comes into the Punishment phase.

Consider taking time off from politics today, which I know from my own experience can be quite addictive and get one in downward spiral and spend time with people you like or love or enjoy the beauties of nature.

Drive around a lot and look at places. This is what I did. Definitely consider the stuff you like in life like weather and culture and so forth, but understand that *any* large city is a nonstarter.

Here are what I would say are the most important things to note:

1.) Church density. Look for places where it seems impossible for the population to support the number of churches you see. My little *neighborhood* in my town has three within 5 blocks, for instance.

2.) Retail establishments. Are staff happy and friendly? Are they American kids, or foreign adults? Do the shopping carts have theft prevention devices? Are there security guards roaming around?

3.) Crime reportage. Pick up a local newspaper. Are petty burglaries reported as Big News? This was one of the clues to me... a game store in my town had been broken into by teens stealing Pokémon cards and people were LIVID about it.

Seriously the NE has become the suburbs of hell. I made a quick trip up there when I got back. It’s almost unrecognizable. Almost everyone who can has left or is leaving. It’s a lot of illegal immigrants and elderly people who can’t leave, and many are driving what’s left of the state into the ground. There is a noticeable lack of younger college age kids. A friend of mine said his children and most of their friends went south for college and the military and never came back. It’s really sad, especially when they continue to double down on the destruction. There is no leadership. It’s a constant blame game and demonization of anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Some women I casually know gave me the “it’s Trump and Republicans fault NY is dying”. I reminded her there hasn’t been a Republican governor or legislature in about 20 years or so. Dead silence. They have lost the capacity to think for themselves.

Speculation (seems valid) that the reason the Turks are so upset is that their entire banking system, including the parts owned by Erdogan and his family members, are heavily entwined with the IRGC. Bessent just fired a salvo across their bow.

160 In 12 Angry Men (1957), Henry Fonda plays a holdout juror in a murder trial. It's a liberal wet dream with a strong script and great ensemble acting. Somehow IMDB voters give it a 9.0 to rank it as the #6 Best Movie of all time.

I suspect it's rated so high because people want to believe in the moral bravery of the Holdout turning the first vote of 11 to 1 Guilty into an outright Acquittal.

Today, the Clancy trial showed an outright attack on the Jury system. Because the Harpies are being denied an outright Acquittal.

(Or, are there, in the case of the town nearest, vanishingly few? I never go there except for jury duty, voting, etc.)

For most people, the Communists in their lives are bitter obsessives for whom it is a religion, they hate the living shit out of anyone who isn't one, and the hatred grows more and more intense the closer they are to you, because friends and family who refuse the Good News About Socialism are seen as apostates.

Communism is a religion. It is a Christian (or Jewish, if you prefer) heresy that uses the mantle of "science" to elevate the sins of wrath, envy and pride to virtues. Like all evil, it cannot create, only destroy.

It claims to create equality but instead simply creates a new hierarchy (the party) to replace the old ones. It is worse, because whereas the old aristocrats had codes of honor and faith, communists have no morals whatsoever, and everything is permitted so long as the party approves it.

Mr. Dmlw! told me that every time in the last couple of days that he clicks on a Canada meme on X, the algorithm moves to Christian content. Daily prayers, God has plans for you, he's still building you, that kind of thing. I think this might be a good thing, but I'm not sure.

His dreams and daydreams now involve him enthroned before the evil forces in the world, directing justice against them (i.e., bring me the head of everyone who has supported the IRGC and Hamas, etc. He gets to be the one who visits wrath upon those who go against God).

I'm not sure he's getting the right message. He's surely not getting the idea that he should humble himself before the Lord.

That's the allure of a lot of false religions. Paganism lets you do whatever you want so long as you have power. I'm reading City of God and I'm at a point where St. Augustine does a detailed takedown of Cybele aka Earth Mother (she has other names as well), and her cult and it is crazy accurate for where we are.

Public orgies, people paint their faces, "effeminates" walking around demanding money, self-castration for the clergy, and the "mother" devours her children. Exposing infants, selling children - all of that is permitted. It's not just permitted, it is required by the state, since an oracle demanded worship begin of that god during the Second Punic War so that Rome would win.

It's interesting that Islam is also comfortable with eunuchs.

The Fednapping hoax created the Dark Trinity in Michigan. If you don't think he has something special waiting for them, you don't know Trump.

He always, always telegraphs his moves. He gives fair warning, calls his shots. Here's the sequence:

1. Dhillon sends letters to all election officials saying allowing illegals to vote is a federal crime and will be prosecuted.

2. DoJ reopens dormant case in Muskegon

3. Labor Day weekend is here. The ballot is finalized. All weapons are hot.

Bombs away.

Michigan's elections have been crooked since the Evil Trinity got in. People who think that the votes were honest are clueless. No one in Michigan politics believes that. If you think Joe Biden got more votes than Barack Obama in Detroit, I can't help you. If you think Biden could surge past Trump in Michigan while Republicans retain a state House majority, I cannot reason with you.

When Obama got elected, it was an extinction-level event for the state GOP. Take away the crooked, the GOP will dominate, partying like its 1994.

When I went to college I ignored the student paper because I had spent four years writing for the high school one. And a masters? Get out.

I think it's funny how they have all these "ethics" yet when was the last time a reporter was firing for writing a story entirely attributed to anonymous sources that was proven false? When was the last time a reporter was fired for sleeping with sources? They're just undersexed midwit prostitutes.

But the basic one is that her getting paralyzed and surviving might be God's mercy - giving her a chance to know what it is to be completely dependent on others, like her children were, and to repent if she can.

Unfortunately, from what the trial revealed, she does not seem to have remorse. Only depression at what she is personally experiencing.

It's a myth that he's super popular. Many Democrats are openly against him. Even Fetterman's lump hates him.

I just got back from running an errand just outside the wire of The Peoples' Republik of AnnArbor

the only political signage I saw were for Abdulrahmam Mohammad el-Sayed...and not just one sign per yard...an average, each yard had 10 - 12 signs (libtards gotta virtue signal)

of course, those people just outside the wire of The Peoples' Republik of AnnArbor are not "normies" by any stretch of the definition

I used to be very cynical, and something of a doomer, but it's ultimately incompatible with Christian faith. God tells us to trust Him, to bless His goodness, and to see joy and love all around us. I want to be a source of inspiration, not That Guy saying it will never work.

Yes, there are disappointments, but they sting less if you accept that God permits them to happen to teach us. Sometimes it's hard. Very hard. My wife has cancer, my youngest is 21 and still doesn't have drivers license and has never held a job. My oldest living with us and we are helping to raise the grandkids. I was kicked out of the military because of the jab. I developed Type II diabetes two years ago.

I've got lots of grounds to be sad, but I'm actually happier than I was when my material circumstances were better because I've put my trust in God. I still have moments, we all do, but that's how I want to live and I look with hope to the life to come.

354 Good morning and prayer the Horde! My update is that because my situation stabilized, I was released into Home Hospice Care on Monday. I was thankful to be home but still could barely keep my head from hitting the kitchen table when I sat there. But they had put me on steriods which blessedly relieved the terrible nausea and I was actually able to enjoy eating in a few days. Now I am able to walk arround the first floor of the house without a walker (very carefully), stay up most of the day, go to the bathroom without needing help, and other small things I couldn't do 6 days ago. The medical people are astonished.

Top Story

Bob is back. (IBM)

This time as an AI-assisted coding tool from IBM, rather than... Bob.

Tech News

I hope there's a certain amount of sibling rivalry between Claude Opus and Fable; I just gave Opus access to a complete history of my personal blog where I am complimentary to it and much less so to Fable.

And even less so to OpenAI, to be fair.

Which is to say, Minx 2.0 is finally under way. The database and language limitations that blocked me - there's no database that works the way I need and no language with the set of tradeoffs I want - are gone. I didn't have enums or multi-valued indexes or sharded search in MySQL, and while Python is not bad, making it fast is a juggling act.

So I built my own.

Aiming for a release on my own blog on the 21st followed by wider availability once it's proven itself.
Meanwhile work continues on porting Hack to a 1983 10-bit imaginary home computer. The level generation took 15 seconds initially, but chasing down the code paths in the Basic runtime plus a few clever software optimisations got that down to about 500 milliseconds. It blinks and the new level appears - but that blinking is doing magic, because high-resolution text display really taxes the memory bus and it's the trick of hiding the map that allows it to be drawn so fast.
Lenovo being Lenovo. (Bleeping Computer)

If you have a Lenovo account - which I do - and a Dropbox account - which I do - you might also have some bad news - which I personally do not.
Coder's (the company's) security registry infrastructure was compromised. (Bleeping Computer)
The Coder platform enables organizations to provide developers with secure, self-hosted cloud development environments for building and deploying software, including AI applications.
"Secure."
The project is used by prominent private and government organizations, including Dropbox, Palantir, Square, Mercedes-Benz, KKR, EnBW, the U.S. government, and defense companies.
Dropbox needs to find better partners to work with.
Burnt out on a three day week. (Jenny Wanger)

AI slop or just regular slop? You decide!

I'm burnt out on a two day week right now, in the sense that across Monday and Tuesday I clocked a full week's worth of hours.
AMD has unveiled a new home computer. (Tom's Hardware)

Not one you put inside your home. It costs $150,000. You buy one instead of a home.

Asus has a new 20th Anniversary collection of PC parts and accessories that if you bought everything to have the complete matching set would set you back about $20,000, if you want a PC price a little closer to earth.

A few YouTubers (Linus & JayzTwoCents) have actually put the PC itself together (just the PC with the ROG Astral 20th Edition RTX 5090 runs about $15k).

It looks interesting but you’d have to be quite the wealthy gamer, and love some Asus ROG, to ever buy the thing.

Miss Linda and I will go to the library this morning. The Book Club meeting Wednesday night will focus on Westerns, so she wants to get at least one to read.

(WHY has none of Estleman's books ever been turned into a movie?) But I need to get a copy if I can to re-read.

65 As for "hillbilly" music: When I worked at a station in Ville Platte in 1977, they had an enormous library of old 45s that went back to the 1950s. They divided them up into "Race" records ("soul" music by '77), "Rock," and "HB" for "Hillbilly," the old term, I guess, for country and bluegrass.

I always wondered why there were so many HB records with the word "Breakdown" in their titles, e.g., "Foggy Mountain Breakdown." I imagined they must have had awfully unreliable cars, to break down so often they were commemorated in song.

Wiki explains it: "In music, a breakdown is a section of a song in which various instruments have solo parts (breaks). This may take the form of all instruments playing the verse together, and then several or all instruments individually repeating the verse as solo parts."

The last verse goes like this here:

Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing' in the rain
No, a' you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me
Well I wonder why you don't call me
Why don't you ever call me by my name?

If I go with Terre Haute, yes. Evansville is not an area he deals with; it's a good two hours south. Though I am getting to know some of the neighborhoods in TH. There's one called "Twelve Points" that touts itself as "coming back" -- not a good sign.

The Maryland Renaissance Festival has banned fursuits this year

"Organizers of the festival, which opened for its 50th season last Saturday outside Annapolis, say they instituted the ban because humans who wear animal costumes are ahistoric to the actual renaissance — and because some patrons complained about feeling uncomfortable with furries at recent fairs."

After her death was an article in the NY Post about a song chose for Dolly at her funeral . It was "If I don't see you here I'll meet you in heaven" or something like that . It mentioned heaven four times . The writer said It crossed regional Racial and religious lines . I said "It's a religious song. I don't think atheists are belting out a song about heaven" although atheists may very well appreciate her non religious songs. Then numerous folks got into a fight with each other how atheists can be fine people and they didn't need God to make them good, which I said nothing about.

I think fighting with people you don't know and have never meet must take up some huge amount of time on social media . Uggh!

When I checked in, an ad popped up. "Why are Canadian men treating hemorrhoids at home instead of with surgery?"

I'm by the computer in the computer room. Ralphy is sleeping on his quilt and blanket on the floor. Snowflake is inside. She came down, looked up at the 3 foot or so bookcase she uses to jump to the window and the tall bookcase and just thought "Uhhh, no."

I weighed her today. She's still under 10 pounds. I lifted her. Maybe she's having an off day.

Back to work while the animals are resting.

I don't think so. Just use all the surprised Brits showing up for the World Cup as an example. They've all been force fed a whole lot of bull excrement. That's one of the things that annoyed me most about USAID and the other charity programs we paid for. They had no idea where the money was coming from. The Catholic church has the reputation of helping all these third world countries with Catholic Relief services. USAID goes bye bye and they lay off over 75% of their work force. The Catholic church was taking all the credit for their work, while the US funded it without credit. None of these countries know that we have essentially been subsidizing their lives.

Thank you for the ONT.

Today I went with my dude to the eye doc to drive home as he developed a big floater in his eyeball yesterday. Like a big annoying fly. We had to go to the university eye building. I think we were the only white people there. I debated yelling ICE to see if we could get in quicker. I was very close but refrained. I also wanted to yell, "Speak English" at one old broad.

He's fine but has put me through a rough few days this week (not that bad, all will be fine, but I don't multi stress well anymore). His retina is fine.

I did not want him going partially blind as we wait to see what they are going to do for his torn hip muscle, from the surprise MRI on Monday, due to running fast for long distances for 40yrs. I just knew running was bad for you (hated it), and swam instead. He may just need PT being olde. This is what we hope vs surgery.

Have a great weekend, y'all. I'm maybe going to get organized or something productive. Going nowhere fast.

That's cool to know.

For everyone.

CBC had their trade war crap going today and had on El-Sayed. No mention of anything we know about of course.

And we were talking about the lack of ads in Michigan and Texas a day or so ago. MS Now reported that President Trump has about $403 million dollars ready to be spent on ads.

The idiot token DEI black guy commented it won't be spent since Trump is a grifter. The host agreed. Damn, they should be sued. But as people pointed out, the ads haven't started flowing because the elections are too far out. I'm guessing the last 5 weeks or so will be wall to wall ads.

El-Sayed is running pretty constant right now. My favorite. He's living the American dream. Awww.

Back in the day TX didn’t teach it in public school until 3rd Grade. I moved to Germany halfway through second and they were already hip deep into cursive writing. I had to learn it on my own, “just follow the examples above the board” the teacher said. Then I got home and my sister explained the whole bit of never picking up the pencil until you are done writing the word…

All of that messed me up something fierce with cursive. Haven’t written it since eight grade I think.

No idea BUT, there's a pair of them just down the road from me. The old couple that feed them and care for them (I'm pretty sure the dogs are the owners in this case) let them out in a fenced in area about 6 feet high. One of them routinely jumps the fence, runs over to our house for scritches or to watch me work in the yard and then runs back home and jumps the fence again to be 'home'.

Them dogs be crazy.

These guys were big, and very buff. The dogs pulled them around like they were 9-yr old girls. Guns, and money. They stashed old Model 36 revolvers (uncleaned, lots of GSR) and money (aereated baggies of shredded $5 bills from Treasury) around outside. Doggies found 'em instantly. Impressive.

The purpose of cursive is to write clearly and quickly with a dip pen nib or a fountain pen. The benefit today is that having good clear handwriting gives and impression of you when you are not there.
Mom taught school and had a beautiful Palmer cursive hand, and she hated my block lettering and thought I could do better. After she died I took it upon myself to learn cursive and I do it well.

Haven't had one but they climb trees! I love them.

Our Shepherd/Malamute/Husky pup grew to look like an Akita.Gilda had a Shepherd face and husky tail. Loved people she met as a pup & vetted. Slow to love others. She cross country skied with us, camped, went to FL to try to kill a lifeguard on the beach. Smart dog.

Once I was reading the newspaper after a 3-11 shift in my nightgown. Heard a rustle in a bush from a window in LR. Saw a tall guy come through front gate, thought, oh, crap.

Never said a word to Gilda. She knew something was wrong. Sensed it. No training. Quiet, not barking. Followed me as I quickly got dressed and heard the middle gate open. We used to leave the backdoor unlocked of that 100yr old house.

I got to that door at the same time as the guy, with Gilda glued to my right leg. Opened the door and said, "Get him, Gilda!"

Gave him the shock of his life, lunged at him. Bit his ass as he escaped over the back fence. She was proud.

Would have made a great military or police doggie.

As for hating other states, I generally don't hate anything in any serious way, certainly not states. I probably don't even rise to the level of Rick's comment to Ugarte, at the bar, when it comes to this sort of thing.

Growing up in a golden era in CA, didn't think a lot about other states. Personally was much more interested in the outside world. Just wish the CA hate had started much earlier, before 15M+ moved to the place they hate (leaving illegal migration completely out of it). Dunno if the political collapse/death would have gone differently, but quality of life otherwise would have remained much higher.

I was going through a fancy princess stage with my own bedroom, French provencial furniture, and a canopy bed. Ruffled curtains. The works.

I bought a twee wind up alarm clock that was white/gold and plastic... but French looking to add to the vibe.

It's lucky to still exist in MS because I HATED it tinkling, "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" at 0530 so I could catch the bus. I am amazed I did not throw it against a wall.

I still hate that song.

In college my roommate's clock would be on a rock station at 0700 and Maggie Mae was nearly daily. I am not fond of that song, either. Nor of the former roommate who smoked like a chimney and gave me sinus problems.

Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow and weekend!

279 Spend a little time talking to regular people in more remote parts of 3rd and 2nd world countries and you won't find much "hate" for the US. On the contrary. Outside the dim and brainwashed "educated" types in Europe and a few other places, and weird westernized upper class (as in Pakistan), I've never found much genuine anti-US sentiment (and it's stupid and uninformed, without exception), and often quite the opposite.

It was the head sticking out and talking to mirrors (people) that did me in.

I didn't want to even think about the rest.

I was maybe 8yrs old but did not bring it up with my parents (phobia). They thought I was weird enough not knowing everything that went through my mind, which was a lot.

I read fast and remember details, near photographic memory which has faded like a Polaroid. Which came in handy when studying everything but algebra, which I hated in 9th grade and did not try.

349 I've always loved Malinois but their energy is crazy. What's it like living with one?
Posted by: JackStraw

As I've said before, we wouldn't have gone out and got a Malinois on purpose, but she adopted us. High energy, indeed, although she has begun to be a little less puppy wild. Smart. Knows what she wants and when she wants it.

Finds her own fun in the toy box and no longer chews up shoes, furniture, and window sills. Knows when we've laid down our forks and demands a game of fetch right away. (Hey! I'm still drinking coffee here!) Runs like a hurricane after those tennis balls. And squirrels and deer when she can.

Also incredibly loud. Hearty barking for strangers. Long howls for sirens, or joining in with the coyotes. High demand for belly scratches from everyone who comes in the door. Has her own places and routines for sleeping.

She's become a real friend.

Personally I think that Moby Dick is supposed to be funny. Maybe funny like Infinite Jest (which I haven't read). I mean three chapters on scrimshaw and more on rigging? Sharing a bed with Queequeg? He is toying with us. When my wife and I had only two kids we bought a minivan and I named it Rachel.

Btw no one knows where Tarshish was, but my favorite theory is it was another name for Carthage. The sounds match up, and it's far off in the opposite direction of Nineveh.

Recorded off the radio often, when I lived in Eugene (late '70s). FM station had a week-night program that would play a new album: DJ would announce the Title, songs list & playing time for *each side* with a commercial break in between. They expected people to record it and made it easy!

Saturday nights, they'd feature a "classic" album, with same easy-to-record format.

I believe the textual evidence indicates that Job is far older than that, and is likely the oldest book in our Bible by far.

There’s nothing “Jewish” about the book at all - no hints of Mosaic law, suggesting it predates Moses by centuries. Also, it takes place in a society which is a cattle culture (which Israel never was) which existed before the idea of money, which also points to a very early date. And the people in it are urban, not wanderers in a desert.

It fits the general culture of the Euphrates River basin, possibly when Sumer was still dominant.

That story could be 4000 years old.

This is the President of the United States:

—Just signed an order revoking Chris Krebs’s security clearance and has directed the DOJ to investigate him for his role in the overthrow of the U.S. government on November 3, 2020.

Krebs was the head of CISA, who weaponized his position and conspired with the FBI and Big Tech to censor truth, evidence, proof, and testimony involving the 2020 election—and who deliberately designated November 3, 2020, as the most “secure election in American history.”

443 cont.
—A secret meeting organized on Election Day, 11, 3, 2020, by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Chris Krebs, involving Dominion officials, the FBI, & over 200 individuals from government entities, private businesses, and media outlets to discuss the overthrow of the United States government with private companies and Democratic groups.

The list includes over 200 names of individuals, government entities, private businesses, media outlets, & at least one tech giant. It includes a curious mix of members from Dominion, ES&S, ERIC Systems, Amazon, Runbeck, Microsoft, Scytl, several Secretary of State offices, the Associated Press, and leftist groups.

Forty-three groups make up the CISA EI-SCC (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), with not a single conservative group represented.

Several high-profile individuals were invited, including Jennifer Morrell (wife of CIA Director Michael Morell) with The Elections Group; Ryan Macias with The Lafayette Group; Eric Coomer with Dominion—“Don’t worry about the election. Trump is not going to win. I made fucking sure of that.”; and the Serbian—Jocelyn Benson, the Michigan Secretary of State.

This is another case of federal judges issuing Temporary Restraining Orders (TRO) which are normally not appealable. Because temporary (maybe #twoweeks traditionally), so not even enough time to work into the appellate calendar.

So if one expires, issue a new one or extend the old one and run out the clock. Wait...the election is WHEN!!?? Dangit-Sorry too late.

This is a new one with the same effect, so a bit harder to appeal. But hey, it's Labor day weekend, what's the hurry?

Well, Colombo goes to Mercury. The ESA Mercury probe, "BepiColombo" has separated from its transfer vehicle and will enter orbit around Mercury in early Nov.

So, it will be pestering Mercury, "Just one more thing, Mr. Mercury".

This thing is named after Italian astrophysicist and engineer Giuseppe "Bepi" Colombo, note the second'o' as opposed to the 'u' for Lt. Columbo.

That thing has been orbiting in the inner solar system for about 8 years. It used a bunch of flybys of Erf, Venus, and Mercury to gradually slow itself down enough to get into orbit around Mercury.

Bepi Columbo studied Mercury and was big on developing the gravity slingshot/assist maneuvers used by NASA/JPL and others. He was the one who developed the Mariner 10 trajectory back in '74.

47 We had two in diapers for about six months.

After moving cross country away from family and friends I did not want to pressure the toddler to be potty trained (potty chairs don't work, a stool and real toilets do). Nor take away his binkie.

The trip was a four day excursion to my parent's farm in MS. My bro opened the door and asked if the backseat was my milking stall. I told him to get out of my way as baby had a growth spurt most of the trip and I entertained truckers. We were 30yrs and could handle it with humor.

Toddler sort of trained himself before 3yrs and dropped his binkie one morning in the toilet. Informed me (thank God). I told him he had a choice of me buying another binkie (had spares) or for the same amt of money he could get a "big boy toy." He chose the big boy toy of a plastic plane and that was it for the binkie.

#2 son did not like binkies and was easy to train since he was competing with older brother. First peed and took his first steps (not at the same time) on the weekly beach trip near our house. Then he mostly wanted to pee outside but got directed to use toilets.

They turned out fairly normal.

Fond of both bourbon and Scotch in winters now. Gin is for summer. I don't know why.

I love Scotch since we had a tour of the Highlands of Scotland distilleries with son and DIL. Fun trip and I am aways pretty wasted in the backseat and loving every minute.

Similar to the wine tours of Northern France.

61 Joke for ace:

Mike walked into a post office just before Valentine’s Day, he couldn’t help noticing a middle-aged, balding man standing in a corner sticking “Love” stamps on a lot of bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. Then the man got out a bottle of Channel perfume from his pocket and started spraying scent over the envelopes.

By now Mike’s curiosity had got the better of him, and so I asked the man why he was sending all those cards. The man replied, “I’m sending out 500 Valentine cards signed, ‘Guess who?'”

“But why?” asked Mike.

“I’m a divorce lawyer,” the man replied.

My grandmother said that they used to keep a decanter on the sideboard filled with rock candy and rye whiskey. The candy dissolved slowly into the whiskey and was used as cough medicine. Rock and Rye.

I'm partial to putting a honey bourbon (with real honey) into hot tea, which is really effective and also makes one sleepy.

It's basic economics. When oil prices go up, gas stations have to raise prices because the replacement fuel will be more than what they have.

When prices fall, they have to hold the price high because that is what they paid for the gas in their pumps. You start to see the price fall as they cycle in the cheaper oil.

Gasoline is a commodity, which is very difficult to "fix" or "gouge." That's socialist speak for "drive in to bankruptcy and replace with state control."

105 I looks like I missed the chicken stock/bone broth convo, wanted to add:

I usually add some lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to my broth when I cook it. Just a splash of both. I heard that the vinegar helps leech out extra minerals from the bones, and the lemon juice helps tenderize the meat. I also add cumin or fish sauce sometimes, if I want the broth to have an Asian flair, like when I make bone broth for homemade ramen.

Hope it turns out well!

Again, according to my grandmother (New Yorker), clear liquors are for the summer, darker ones are for winter. It really makes sense. I mean, rum and Coke is kind of whenever drink, but rum and gin just go with summer.

Whiskey is for when things cool off. In Michigan, it's basically bourbon season 9 months a year, which suits me just fine.

It really depends on what you are looking for. Bourbon (like many liquors) has price points, tiers if you will: top shelf, middle shelf, bottom shelf.

The top shelf goes in infinity, but for our purposes, we'll set the bar at brands like Eagle Rare, Elijah Craig and Woodford Reserve. Below that you have the "extra" Jim Beam, 1792, Bulleit and some of the upscale Jim Beam. At the bottom you're dealing with Wild Turkey, Old Crow and Evan Williams.

Now here's the thing: the pricey stuff isn't always better. Indeed, blessed is he who sincerely enjoys cheap booze. My hands-down favorite for price performance is Evan Williams BIB, aka white label. Good flavor, high proof, low price. I like Wild Turkey 101 for the same reason. But tastes vary, and I prefer a stronger flavor, so I prefer Evan Williams to Jim Beam and consider Jack Daniels ludicrously overpriced.

Yeah, well, I just listed ones that I and several friends have enjoyed drinking. I suppose I could go compare prices. I know Angel's Envy sits at "Buy one for special occasions" pricing level for me. But it's really good and worth it for special occasions. I think both of my other choices are kind of in that price range, too.

But, I only drink liquor on special occasions. So that's what is in my "cabinet." (I have a small bit of a 150 year anniversary JD sitting on my desk for when my first paycheck comes in with this new job.)

My husband finished his 10 days of radiation today. Glad to have that done.
He feels pretty good.
Still taking fenben and ivermectin.
He is shedding pieces of the tumor, a good sign.

Next, in 2 weeks, we meet with the oncologist again, hopefully all the dna and blood tests will be done and the doctor will have a plan.
Many thanks for the prayers.

Woah! I want to party with you

I’m of the opinion, black olives pair OK with sausage pizza. And while not a pineapple enthusiast, it seems to pair better with ham.

Pepperoni needs to be (almost) slightly burnt, and dished a little, with a little bit of grease in thar. It sort of holds its own without any accoutrement necessary.

I like “Supreme” pizzas, but there’s always this kind of “too busy” thing going on with all those different flavors going on, competing with each other.

228 For the budget-conscious rum lovers, if you haven't tried Doorly's XO ($25), do so. Their 12-yr ($32) is just a few bucks more. Neither expensive (prices from Total Wine). Both solid. From Richard Seale's Foursquare distillery in Barbados. No additives.

Both quite sippable. Sure they'd mix well also, but I never mix them.

For Spanish-style rum (column still, usually leaner, a bit hotter) - hmm, forgetting any real bargains at the moment. Have to explore that sector more. Panama-Pacific all good but a bit $ (except when a wine store misprices the 15-yr old did here a few years back - shoulda bought everything they had).

Flor de Cana 12-yr (Nicaragua), a bit hot and oaky but not bad or *that* expensive ($37).

Yet the prices remain high, too high. The gas companies are gouging the consumers. Trump knows it, the gas companies know it and we consumers know it. He needs to have a talk with the gas companies pronto. Call these oil honchos to Washington for a little talk and get these prices down. They are hurting the economy and the little people who are trying to make ends meet. The high cost of energy makes all products cost more.

But happen that the other day I had a late burn, post-dinner, and had Doorly's XO with ..... umm, forget, but likely a Rocky Patel Number 6. Worked very well. The cigar's a medium, mellow, some overall tobacco sweetness.

Usually burn in the afternoon because I FaceTime with an old friend who lives down near Austin, he smokes one at the same time.

At some point I hope to start doing more booze pairings, including beer when it's warm weather. A porter or amber has worked well in the past. And on the non-alcoholic side, a good quality vanilla cream soda (Hank's) works very well with any medium or connecticut cigar.

The Week In Woke

~~San Francisco~~ Oakland has, get this, a pro-Hamas coffee shop.

They redid their menu on 10/7 and added a new drink to celebrate the now-deceased mastermind of the Muslims' great victory over unarmed girls and babies at a youth rave.

They also kick out any Jews they detect, calling Jews' simple interest in coffee "zionist oppression."

These Fruits of Islam are now shutting down their coffee shop -- temporarily, they think, but I'm more hopeful -- to deal with three lawsuits for illegal race/creed discrimination, one from the feds.

Frankly I'd like to see all of these laws rolled back. I'm sick of it and I'm sick especially of the ludicrous double-standards, such as those shown by these Heroic Murder-Simps.

But while they're on the books: Make them squeal.

From the DOJ lawsuit:

The lawsuit, filed today in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that defendants discriminated against Jewish customers through policies and practices that denied them the full and equal enjoyment of the Jerusalem Coffee House's services, accommodations, and privileges. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that on two separate occasions, Harara ordered Jewish customers -- identified because they were wearing baseball caps with Stars of David on them -- to leave the coffee house. During one incident, an employee told a Jewish customer who was trying to make a purchase, "You're the guy with the hat. You're the Jew. You're the Zionist. We don't want you in our coffee shop. Get out." During another incident, Harara accused another Jewish customer who was with his five-year-old son of wearing a "Jewish star," being a "Zionist," and supporting "genocide." Harara repeatedly demanded that the customer and his son leave and falsely accused them of "trespassing" to the Oakland police. Neither customer stated anything about their political views to Harara or any other employees while at the coffee house.

The Suckers of Terrorist C**k respond:

We've been fighting three lawsuits in both state and federal court since 2024. The United States Department of Justice, the Anti-Defamation League, and the Brandeis Center for Justice brought three separate and duplicative lawsuits over two incidents of zionist harassment of the cafe and its staff in 2024. These lawsuits represent the ongoing efforts of zionist organizations and the federal government to use the courts as a tool to repress free speech and public political commitments to Palestine.

Let's definitely invite more of these third world primitive tribal savages into the country. Why should the US be immune to the 1300 years of unending Muslim warfare that the Middle East and Europe have suffered? We must all suffer equally.

The degenerate future ex-state of California wants to force all businesses to disclose any involvement in slavery... again.

They just did this a couple of years ago.

California is set to force big companies to disclose their historic links to slavery as a new measure passed the state legislature this week.
The measure is now headed to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk and he has until September 30 to sign or veto it.
The bill is facing pushback from insurance companies, which argue it largely repeats an earlier California law requiring insurers to disclose past policies issued to slaveholders that covered the death or injury of enslaved people.
New York Life Insurance Company, Aetna Life Insurance Company and American International Group, known as AIG, were among the companies that disclosed ties to enslaved people and slaveholders.
Some reparations advocates have viewed the measure as a significant step forward, while others have questioned how much of an impact it would actually have.

The bill, known as Assembly Bill 2599, would require companies with more than $100 million in annual worldwide sales to search their records for evidence that they, their predecessors or subsidiaries bought or sold enslaved people or provided financial support for those transactions, including through insurance or loans.

Fairfax County Soros Prosecutor Steve Descano is fighting to get a lunatic killer released from the mental asylum to freely roam the streets again.

The Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office has agreed to the conditional release of a man accused of murder, continuing a pattern of releasing individuals charged with violent crimes who were found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Alexander Jahelka was accused of fatally stabbing his 66-year-old father in 2021. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed to a mental health institution.
Judge Dipti Pidikiti-Smith, an Indian immigrant, held a July 16 hearing on Jahelka's request for release. The Commonwealth's Attorney's Office agreed with a recommendation that he be released from custody.
Under the terms of his release, Jahelka was ordered to live in his apartment and work up to 40 hours per week. He is prohibited from leaving Virginia and must submit to random testing, according to Fox 5 DC.

If you're thinking "This sounds like old news, I just read about Steve Descano getting a mentally-ill Muslim killer a passport so he could flee the state," no, that was a different killer a week and a half ago:

The decision came just 10 days after Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda, another man accused of murder who had been found not guilty by reason of insanity, left the same mental health facility on an unescorted weekend pass and boarded a one-way flight out of the country.
The incident created criticism of Virginia's policy of allowing people committed to psychiatric facilities to be granted unescorted passes to be around the general public.
...
Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano has a long history of agreeing to plea deals for individuals found not guilty by reason of insanity. Descano refers to himself as a "progressive prosecutor" on social media, adding in his bio on X: "safety and justice walk hand-in-hand."
Another released individual, Robert Jablonski, was accused of attempted aggravated murder of a police officer after he aimed a crossbow at officers in 2022. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2024. A Fairfax County judge said he should not be released, yet a judge granted his conditional release just one year later, with the agreement of the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.

Good news:
"The executive director of the Transgender Law Center, which describes itself as the largest national trans-led organization, shared that there has been a "near complete exodus" of philanthropy from the transgender rights movement."
Take such claims with a grain of salt from professionals seeking more donations. But if some people are waking up to the authoritarian falsehoods the transgender movement is seeking to entrench in law and choosing not to fund them, it's for sure a good sign.

I don't think I'm above being propagandized. In fact, I'd probably go along with anything as long as the propaganda was good enough.
Along these lines one of the great puzzles of Woke 1 was why so much cultural production was made dumb, off putting, and aesthetically repugnant. As a Good Person you were supposed to 'eat your vegetables' and act like you enjoyed it, and this worked for those engaged in specific types of reputational and social competition.
But on the whole, for society at scale, libs lost a great deal of soft power by making laughably bad, ideologically doctrinaire art that no one with any honesty would admit to liking or finding pleasurable.
In fact, it was the opposite: the more unpleasant, inane, and cartoonish the art became the better a test it became of the ideologically committed and craven - you knew someone was completely committed when they would breathlessly report how something obviously terrible was wonderful.
This signified that they were all in and had sacrificed all credibility in service of ideological commitment. The downside of course was that the postwar lib cultural apparatus that was at its peak from the early 1960s to late 2000s ran off the rails and completely lost its ability set defining cultural narratives.

Iranian terrorist-supporting communist and diagnosable moron Mark Ruffalo tried to get the head of the Anti-Defamation League to give him the Green Light for antisemitism.

I know the ADL is now a corrupt Left-Wing Omnicause group but, come on imbecile, you can't ask the head of the ADL to say that it's okay to suggest Jewish executives have dual loyalties.

Sources tell Page Six Hollywood that Mark Ruffalo was looking to apologize for a pair of recent social media posts that cast Larry Ellison as a Lex Luther-esque billionaire oppressing Gazans and drew the condemnation of a broad swath of Jewish groups including the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League.
Over the past week, States United Democracy Center co-founder Norm Eisen was working closely with the Marvel star on how to thread the needle of signaling contrition about offending Jews, while remaining firm in his opposition to the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger and (separately) Israel's military response in Gaza.
Insider say Ruffalo asked Eisen to enlist ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, who had called Ruffalo's two posts "cynical and sickening." (Eisen and Greenblatt had both worked in the Obama administration and are said to be friends.)
One source says Greenblatt rebuffed his old pal Eisen because he wasn't "interested in laundering Mark Ruffalo's reputation."
Another source says the ADL chief "couldn't help" the four-time Oscar nominee, prompting Eisen to pivot to an open letter defending Ruffalo that hit Tuesday.

Norm Eisen again.

Three days ago a gunman opened fire outside Venture-N, a Tucson gay bar. Two men dead. The shooter dead. Police now call it a targeted hate crime. He had a list of LGBTQ businesses on him.
You probably even didn't heard about it.
Because the shooter wasn't the approved villain. He WASN'T a white Christian nationalist. He was Ousman Ceesay, 44, a Muslim immigrant born in The Gambia. He confronted two men in the parking lot and started shooting.
One of the victims was Cameron Davis Capara, a well-known local photographer and left- wing political activist who spent years documenting pro-Palestine marches, anti-ICE actions, anti-Trump, anti-fascism rallies, and anti-capitalist "No Kings" circles. The other was Vincent Anthony Siqueiros.
Both were killed where they stood.
Police didn't rush out a mugshot package. Some coverage danced around the shooter's background. National cameras never really showed up. No wall-to-wall specials. No Democratic officials lining up at podiums to denounce homophobia and demand action. The story dropped fast.
That's the tell. When the facts don't fit the script, the outrage machine stays quiet. Two men get murdered outside a gay bar, the killer leaves a target list, and the same people who never miss a chance to lecture the country about hate suddenly have nothing to say.
If that doesn't show you how selective the media and the virtue-signal crowd really are, nothing will.

8 Another Jewish Jonestown Tikkun Olam type defending the coffee shop:

“The images of starving Palestinians hauntingly remind us of the images of Jews starving in Nazi ghettos and concentration camps,” said Rabbi Cat Zavis, who leads synagogue Beyt Tikkun and is a member of the Jewish Voice for Peace Rabbinical Council. “Genocide scholars throughout the world have called this a genocide. And just this week, two Israeli human rights organizations have done so as well. Yet what is US government concerned about?

The genocide and starvation of children? No. They are concerned about and are targeting a Palestinian-owned cafe in Oakland, California, a community space where people who share values of justice and stand against fascism, genocide, and starvation come together across differences of religion, gender, sexuality, and race to share common values of dignity and love.”

__________

The problem could be the existing laws. The SC has ruled that defendants found not competent to stand trial cannot be held indefinitely if there is no likelihood of competence being restored.

And most, maybe all, states have laws requiring that a mentally ill person be certified as capable of benefiting from treatment before they can be involuntarily admitted.

So those who will never regain competency and cannot benefit from treatment eventually get to walk.

If you do not know what that is I highly suggest you research that and agenda 2030 and 2050.

No MAN has ever gotten off a case by reason of insanity due to "hormones".

Whether or not she's innocent no longer matters. -- If she's found not guilty women will have a harder time in custody court over their kids.
This case will come up at the hearing.
Women won't be able to hold certain key jobs.
This will come up.
Women will not be able to vote or hold office.

Know why?

Hormonal instability is why. ---- If no man has ever gotten off on this then there's the play!

Can confirm. In engineering of all places.

mid 80s, a black female graduate got ALL the interviews even though she was a poor student. This was tough period, when companies like IBM or ATT would have 4 interview slots instead of their usual 40, and she signed up for every company and got one of all those slots. We all knew the top two students (high GPA, but mostly because they would retake classes until they got an A) would get 2 slots, and she would always get 1 as well.

Worst though, is that she signed up for every company. I am sure she could have worked wherever she wanted. I don't think she went to most of the interviews, but every day at the placement office we seniors would check out the list of who got interviews and she was on every single list. (she was the only female, and only black in the graduating class for our major)

If you live in that universe and never leave the bubble, you're hierarchy is based on oppressed victimhood status.

Harry Potter author JK Rowling was forced to cover the name of her superyacht while moored in Marina del Rey harbor, according to a new report.

One claimed its name was covered because it 'often attracts protesters.'

The paper eventually identified it as belonging to Rowling.

The Post also spoke to some residents personally. One billed it as the 'worst-kept secret on the marina.'

Another person online said protesters pestered the boat when it docked in the area last year.

George Clooney has ruled out running for president, while revealing the Democrats he believes would be best to take back the White House in 2028.

Clooney added that he also admires Illinois Governor Jay Pritzker and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, but wouldn't explicitly endorse a single politician until after November's midterms.

132 And for those who aren't aware of the Brian Williams/Allison Williams story, here's an AI summary:

Brian Williams, the NBC Nightly News anchor, publicly expressed support for his daughter, actress Allison Williams, regarding her explicit sex scenes in the HBO series Girls, particularly the controversial anal-oral sex scene in the Season 4 premiere.

Williams stated that "watching her is the family occupation" and emphasized that "she’s always been an actress." He noted that his perspective was professional, adding, "For us... everybody has to remember it’s acting, no animals were harmed during the filming, and ideally nobody gets hurt."

134 Despite his calm demeanor, Williams' attendance at the premiere and his supportive comments drew significant media attention and mixed reactions:

Allison Williams described the filming of the scene as "total TV magic," involving wardrobe tricks like vanilla cream and invisible padding to ensure comfort.

Co-star Jemima Kirke expressed discomfort, recalling she was "going to puke" while sitting behind Williams and his father during the premiere.

Media outlets frequently highlighted the contrast between Brian Williams' journalistic persona and his daughter's raunchy on-screen performances, with some reports noting he had previously described watching her scenes as "unmitigated joy."

163 the more unpleasant, inane, and cartoonish the art became the better a test it became of the ideologically committed and craven - you knew someone was completely committed when they would breathlessly report how something obviously terrible was wonderful.

This signified that they were all in and had sacrificed all credibility in service of ideological commitment.

This reminds me of a scene in That Hideous Strength where Mark, husband of the protagonist Jane, was being indoctrinated by the bad guys. Part of the process was exposure to yucky art. He was ultimately commanded to trample on a crucifix and he refused.

Quicker Than Usual Hits

Another DSA communist (and queer, I think he identifies himself as) is deleting all of his old extremist, anti-family, "hurry up and die, old people" tweets, and claiming, as James Talarico did, that those "cringey" tweets "missed the mark."

'F**k you...hurry up and die': Swing-seat Democratic House candidate's deleted tweets show far-left record

William Lawrence, the Democratic nominee in one of the country's most competitive House races in Michigan, deleted hundreds of old social media posts in which he embraced police and prison abolition, called for nationalizing fossil-fuel companies to end their production, attacked moderate Democrats and argued for a "fundamental overhaul" of the Constitution.
Other deleted posts show Lawrence writing "f**k" the nuclear-family home and calling it an "isolating, individualistic, violent way of organizing society," envisioning "a world of free and open migration," and calling to "Abolish the Senate."
Lawrence even wrote a song inspired by moderate Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin's resistance to Democrats' climate agenda: "Our generation says f**k you for everything," Lawrence wrote in lyrics he posted in December 2021. "Hurry up and die so that we can get started."
The deleted posts, most of which have not been previously reported and came under a previous Twitter handle, stretch back years to when Lawrence, now 36, was building his career as a progressive organizer as an original co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, helping propel the Green New Deal into Democratic politics in 2018.
Since winning the Democratic primary in August, he's now the Democratic nominee for Michigan's 7th Congressional District, running against incumbent Republican Rep. Tom Barrett, who is seeking to win his first reelection.
Michigan's 7th is one of the country's truest House battleground tests: President Donald Trump carried it by less than two points in 2024 and the district was previously represented by now-Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin.
But Lawrence's past rhetoric may complicate Democrats' ability to retake the district, especially those deleted posts which include attacks aimed at fellow Democrats from the party's more moderate wing, including Slotkin.

Now for the "woke 1 was crazyyy" walkback:

'Thinking out loud on the internet'
Lawrence has since distanced himself from at least some of his earlier positions. He told Semafor last month that his past posts supporting the 2020 "defund the police" movement "are out of step with what I believe now." Last month, he told CNN's Manu Raju that he let his membership in the Democratic Socialists of America "lapse" in July.
He told CNN in a further statement he regretted his past comments on Sen. Slotkin and said he did not support defunding the police or open borders.
"Like many millennials, I've done my fair share of thinking out loud on the internet. I've been clear that I disagree today with some things I posted in the past. I don't support defunding the police or open borders."
...

'A world without police and prisons'
Lawrence's ideological arguments stretched well beyond Democratic infighting.
In 2021, Lawrence praised the Minneapolis activist group Black Visions, writing that its 'defund the police' campaign had brought the country "nearer to a world without police and prisons."
In August 2022, he argued that remaining fossil-fuel production should be wound down through a "more confrontational" strategy, writing that it "should happen through forced nationalization and that should be our demand." In October 2021, he pushed for then-President Joe Biden to "promise" to "end the coal industry," through an executive order.
Later in August 2022, Lawrence summarized his politics as "social democrat in the streets, libertarian socialist in the sheets."
He repeatedly took aim at the nuclear family home as well.
"F**k isolation and the nuclear family domicile," Lawrence wrote in 2021 while praising communal living. The following year, he went further, calling the nuclear-family home an "isolating, individualistic, violent way of organizing society." "I don't want to be part of that," he wrote.

Days later, Lawrence argued that the "hetero-patriarchial nuclear family" is a "MATERIAL foundation of wealth accumulation" because inheritance was concentrated through male family lines, while writing that "Queer families create MATERIAL conditions for solidarity and wealth sharing."

The WNBA's woke AWFUL commissioner -- who Sophie Cunningham has suggested tends to make everything about her and her political agenda, rather than the league -- is retiring at the end of the year.

Enes Kanter wants the job.

Enes Kanter FREEDOM
@EnesFreedom

MAKE @WNBA FEMALE AGAIN
Commissioner Freedom Has a Nice Ring to It.
While the reported retirement of #WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert is a win for women and an admission that the league's rules must change, her retirement does not solve the systemic issues which must be addressed in order to protect women's sports.
If the WNBA is unable to define what a woman is, then I, Enes Kanter Freedom, would be more than happy to step in as commissioner and lead this league back to greatness and restore fairness for all women.
I'll bring common sense.
I'll bring fairness.
And yes, I'll bring a dictionary.

Black Conservative Perspective and Stephen A. Smith thinks that the she was asked to resign due to her mishandling of the trans issue and the courting of woke controversies.

Alice Nderitu. Most people don't know that name.
I talk about her all the time. Why is she important? She was one of the world's preeminent experts on genocide.
She's a Kenyan woman, not a Jew, not married to a Jew, obviously not Israeli.
She rose in the ranks of international communities around the world because of her tremendous expertise in this field.
And she she reached the pinnacle of this field. She became the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Crime of Genocide and the Prevention of Genocide.
She became the world's preeminent and most prominent source on whether genocides were happening around the world and how to prevent them.
And she was adamant and clear that there was no genocide in Gaza, that it was the furthest thing from a genocide, that Israel spent tremendous amounts of money and effort and had an entire organization of its government devoted to preserving and protecting the lives of uninvolved Palestinian citizens.
And then what did Alice Nderitu get for telling the truth at the United Nations?
She was fired. Her contract was not renewed, and someone who would toe the party line was placed there in her stead.
And it's the fact that no one even knows her name that shows you what it looks like to lose an information war in the West.

Mr. Goodnight was accused of helping steal $1,400 of copper wire from a DIY store.

A jury is empaneled. Recess is called. Start of trial but no jurors in room, Mr. Goodnight is absent and his car is not in parking lot. Judge, prosecutors, and defense attorney bat around what to tell the jurors as they are stymied.

I have seen that argument occasionally that men should have no opinions, or say, on abortion because they aren’t the people having babies.

Which is true to an extent.

But men were born just like everybody else so should at least be able to offer their opinion on whether other people should be allowed to be born, or not.

Men do have to take part in some fashion for the birth to happen, because I’m only aware of one immaculate conception which falls under extremely unique circumstances.

74 FURRY BAN: The Maryland Renaissance Festival has banned fursuits this year, saying they don’t fit the Renaissance theme and that some patrons complained about feeling uncomfortable around them. Organizers also cite past issues with unauthorized performances. (City Cast DC)
It’s a private event with a dress code. Not every venue has to accommodate every subculture — and “discrimination” doesn’t automatically mean someone’s rights were violated.

"Unauthorized performances"? Say no more.

I once attended a miniature wargame tournament that was hooked onto an event that was similar to comic con. When I checked in they handed me a rules sheet for the convention sheet that I had to acknowledge and sign.

In the second or third paragraph was a line that read:

ABSOLUTELY NO NUDITY AT THE CONVENTION!

It was in all caps, bolded and underlined. I guessed that they had some issues in the previous years with various costumes and unauthorized performances.

Counterpoint: the demons know they are losing and are spreading their rage and despair, and we should not take it as a sign of confidence. We like to think when a side knows it is losing, it gives up, starts to fade, and sometimes that happens.

But just as often they decided to wreck as much as they can. We took more casualties inside of Germany than outside of it in the ETO. The Japanese went into a death frenzy. In the US Civil War, the South went full homicidal and it was only by the grace of God and the prestige of Robert E. Lee that we did not see a generations-long campaign of extermination.

Going to the local University Art Gallery. Wioth one of the widows I walk with and her grand daughter.

141 Ok so for chicken stock what’s the ratio of water to chicken? I have two chicken breasts I want to turn into stock. They are about 1.75 pounds.

Also do you boil the water first or do you just throw everything in together.

I obviously never did this by myself
Posted by: Marcus T at September 04, 2026 05:36 PM (gb3qv)

Well you want to cover the chicken, obviously. It doesn't matter if it preboils as long as you get it kinda simmering eventually. You can just keep it steaming if you want to reduce the volume.

You really want bones for stock though, and the connective tissue. Get one of those cooked chickens from the grocery, I've done that.

You're not getting much stockness out of two beasts, unless they are bone in with skin. And then I would use a water amount I needed for the ultimate recipe. Then season to taste with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning (lightly), if you have it. I always throw in some chicken boullion in place of salt. Throw in some onion and celery if you're going soupish with it.

Then cook slow, very slow, low heat. Add a fat to the mix. Butter is best, but olive oil will do. Throw in some herbs if you are not looking for a neutral taste. I like thyme, or tarragon, or basil. Be sure and add somemsalt as a flavor enhancer. Or options are onion powder which really pops the flavor.

Its more a start and forget than a precise thing, once its hot you can leave it going on very low heat for a long long time to reduce it to a volume/taste you like. The meat can be fished out and used too, even if its lost some flavor by the process.

Can't let the fluid boil away of course.

Is this a psychological op and secondly WILL this will usher in the rest of project Esther.

Things to think about.

If you do not know what that is I highly suggest you research that and agenda 2030 and 2050.

No MAN has ever gotten off a case by reason of insanity due to "hormones".

Whether or not she's innocent no longer matters. -- If she's found not guilty women will have a harder time in custody court over their kids.
This case will come up at the hearing.
Women won't be able to hold certain key jobs. This will come up.
Women will not be able to vote or hold office.

Know why?

Hormonal instability is why. ---- If no man has ever gotten off on this then there's the play!

Remember such as Andrea Yates—initially convicted, later NGRI on retrial; various PMS/PMDD arguments. --- Is the deck being stacked?
Idk

Project Esther’s recommendations are operationalized without transparency and oversight, the effects could mirror past covert repression even if the origin remains public.

Five seconds. That's how long I'm willing to clap for the greatest movie I've ever seen or will ever see. After about ten seconds I'm sitting down. After a minute I'm leaving. Y'all can keep clapping without me.

There's a book I have where a dude reads the description of a speech by a Roman Emperor written down with the acclaims from the Senate and the number of repetitions, then has his sons play the part of the senate and acted it all out to time how long it took. It was many minutes long at least. I just love the idea of the kids chanting Latin (or Greek if it were an eastern Emperor) that long.

Ellen "Elliot" Page: For Reasons I Don't Understand, People Aren't Calling Me Up to Offer Me Roles to Play Characters Who Look Like Whatever I Am

You don't say?

A woman who cut off her breasts and had fake plastic "abs" inserted but who still looks and sounds like a ten-year-old boy but with visible wrinkles is finding that there aren't a lot of films calling for that particular type?

You don't say. You don't say.

Elliot Page Is 'Not Really' Getting Casting Calls After 'The Odyssey': 'If Someone Wants to Call Me...I'd Love to Do Good Work'

Did you guys watch The Umbrella Academy? If you haven't seen it, don't bother. You wait for it get good and you keep waiting. At points, it gets okay, and then gets bad.

Here's one five minute scene featuring two cute girls (on the "bad guys'" team) and nothing in the show is this good so don't bother.

Anyway, I watched for a couple of seasons. Ellen Page was in it, playing the typical Ellen Page character, a fragile, squeaky-voiced scoldy girl with mental problems.

Then she "transitioned," and continued looking just as she did previously, but apparently insisted on having her character also transition, and then make two seasons' storylines mostly about her "transition." I signed up to watch an X-Men parody, I got two seasons of lessons about transgenderism.

She could have just played her character as a woman -- because she still looks like a woman. And aren't actors supposed to play "any role"? Well this role is female, and you should be qualified to play that, because you played it previously for 30 years.

But no, she had to now be "a guy."

The show turned rancid about this time, generally, and it's not all about her weird insistence on playing herself. I mean -- himself.

But it didn't help!

Elliot Page has never felt more comfortable on screen. Finding the right role, however, has proven to be more difficult. During his appearance on the "On Film... With Kevin McCarthy" podcast, Elliott revealed he hasn't been able to find another great role after starring in "The Odyssey," which hit theaters in July. The actor revealed he has no role currently lined up.

Yeah because Christopher Nolan did you a favor by rescuing you from unemployment by giving you a role you were totally unsuited for and which cost the movie maybe a half-billion in ticket sales.

But you can't count on former colleagues tossing you a Charity Role forever.

Your choices have severely restricted the roles available to you. You could actually still play squeaky-voiced tiny women... but you insist that no, you're a guy now, and you can only play Dude Roles.

I don't know what to say.

The "Umbrella Academy" actor, who came out as transgender in 2020, said he hopes to continue acting. Looking back at his experience filming Christopher Nolan's 2010 film "Inception," Page recalled feeling uncomfortable in his own skin. But now that he's embraced his true identity, he feels he's in the perfect place to accomplish his "best work."

Playing what?

I mean, you could do cartoon voice-work, but again, you'd insist on playing a Dude.

I guess if there's an animated Fish Movie you could play a Dude Fish with a squeaky voice. Maybe there'll be a new cartoon fish movie. I think that's your sweet spot, playing cartoon Dude Fish with low T.

...
While working on Nolan's film, Page developed shingles after feeling out of place while working "in a cast full of cis men." In his memoir, "Pageboy," the actor shared the cast and crew were "delightful to work with," but he still struggled to feel comfortable on set.

This article began with the obviously-bullshit claim that she's never felt more comfortable in her own skin, which does not survive past the fifth paragraph. Now we find out that in her last film -- and I mean "last" in both senses -- she was "uncomfortable" to be around men.

But you're a dude now. You should be having Bro-Time with the dudes.

"To come back no as you can imagine, being more comfortable in yourself makes these sorts of projects more enjoyable," Page said during the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" panel at New York City Comic Con in 2025 about "The Odyssey." "To get to have a Chris Nolan experience again now meant so much to me selfishly."
When Page's casting as Sinon, the cousin of Odysseus (Matt Damon), was announced, the actor faced backlash online. Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro called the choice an "absolute puzzler," noting that Page is "about 5'2 and 105 pounds soaking wet and has the voice of a woman. It doesn't work."
Whoopi Goldberg spoke out against Shapiro's remark during an episode of "The View" in July, saying "A lot of conservatives who see this are going to feel the same way. That's okay. But I don't understand. Why go see the movie? If you don't want to see it, don't go see it. Why do you care who's cast in it?"

Seriously? Who cares about who's cast in a movie?

The cast is usually the biggest selling point of a movie. Actors' names are often above the title of the film.

And in historical movies, where a big selling point is to "see the world as it once was," and feel "immersed in a different age," you kind of want to see people who could have possibly existed in that age to be cast.

On to Ryan Reynolds. I tried to not hold the Blake Lively thing against him. Hey, if your wife gets crazy, you have to support her, even if she's crazy and being a real See You Next Tuesday.

But I am now wondering why I ever thought he was funny. Yes, he's doing Fletch-type gags and I guess he writes some of them but I'm not 14 any longer so the juvenile snark thing is wearing out its limited charm.

At least he seemed somewhat intelligent. For a creampuff light comedy actor, I mean.

But is he?

What the hell is this revisionist woke bullshit?

Ryan Reynolds is beloved in Hollywood because he has mostly refrained from talking politics. Until now.

Exactly. He was -- emphasis on the past tense -- an unobjectionable lightweight.

He just became objectionable. I guess he's got to prove his Woke Cred now that his wife (and his own complicity in his wife's actions) has turned Hollywood against him.

The comedic actor best known for playing the flippant anti-hero "Deadpool" wasn't quite as funny when he decided to launch a stray at the 1980s.

He wants you to know the 80s were a living nightmare. Thank goodness we're in the new woke world where we don't have any of that old baggage!

Ryan Reynolds says ’80s nostalgia “paves over all the trauma” of the “tumultuous” decade:

“The 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a fucking mess and people forget that. It was a tremendous strife. Socio political tensions everywhere. We were still pretty fresh off… pic.twitter.com/CvNE3KLfff
— Variety (@Variety) September 2, 2026

"The 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people," he said for some reason. "It was a fu**ing mess and people forget that. It was a tremendous strife. Socio political tensions everywhere. We were still pretty fresh off a Cuban missile crisis, which was only 15-20 years before. It's a tumultuous period, but you look back at it now and you're like, 'Oh, yeah. 'Top Gun.' Cocaine!' Like, 'No!' It was really scary."

We were fresh off the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis in the 80s?

I'd hate to see your refrigerator. You seem to have a very flexible notion of "fresh."

If you are wondering when he was born, it was in 1976. He was still pre-teen before 1989. Maybe this flaky Canadian fuckboy was all scared of Canadian propaganda about Ronnie Raygun and his Apocalyptic drive to blow up the world.

I have a very, very conventional view on Deadpool 3, which I hear many other people expressing, so I'm not Mr. Original with this take.

When I first saw it, I was amused by all the cameos.

And then a day or two after having watched it, I realized it was a really empty film, that really was literally nothing but fan-service. Even the much-anticipated fights between Deadpool and Wolverine were inconsequential, because neither character can be killed and neither appears to even feel much pain.

Eh, I don't need this idiot. Go back to rom-coms with Sandra Bullock.

8 She probably could star in some $500,000 production about a tranny dealing with personal problems.

But she'd only get paid like $25,000 for the 2 months of work, and she's a MAJOR STAR! So, she won't debase herself with that.

She also said that she was really uncomfortable playing the male soldier in The Odyssey and negatively compared it to her experience playing the pregnant teen in Juno which she said was a more natural fit.

28 Ryan Reynolds does well playing Deadpool because he's mostly playing himself.

Deadpool's schtick is comedic sociopathy because he knows he's functionally immortal and invincible.

Thus when someone gives him a beatdown, he can just sit there and take it while snarking the entire time.

Gets old after a while.

29 I watched a bit of that Ryan Reynolds clip, and was thinking "at some point, it must have dawned on him that he was just aimlessly blathering and had no real point, and wanted to stop talking, but couldn't figure out how to do it gracefully".

All these empty-headed actors want so badly to be "serious people", but they just lack the mental equipment. Maybe some of them had it at some point, but it has atrophied due to constantly having their asses kissed.

72 Did you guys watch The Umbrella Academy? If you haven't seen it, don't bother. You wait for it get good and you keep waiting. At points, it gets okay, and then gets bad.

Watched the first season and enjoyed it enough to watch the second season.

Watched the second season and it was slightly weirder and worse than the first.
By that time Ellen was trying on Elliot and I said “screw all this noise” and never went back.

I stopped watching The Boys on Prime after two seasons, too. That’s because, even though I enjoyed some if it, I could see the direction it was going and jumped off before the ride got worse.

Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz was heckled outside of court after the Lindsay Clancy case was ruled a mistrial.

Cruz addressed members of the media moments after Judge William Sullivan announced a mistrial at a court in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

As he was talking, a woman standing behind him said: 'You only cared when the kids were dead - why didn't you care about the mother?'.

Cruz kept a straight face as others around him backed up what the woman shouted, chanting: 'Amen'.

As journalists continued to pose questions to Cruz, the woman continued to heckle him, causing him to ask a reporter to repeat their question.

She was also seen shaking her head as he spoke and kept on shouting over him before walking away. Others shouted that he was corrupt.

That Lindsey Clancy will be on the ticket, too?
Posted by: Auspex at September 04, 2026 03:37 PM (Y8DZL)

Would she really bring in any voters that wouldn't already be all in for a Biden? Well, I guess there's some nominally Republican SameLindseys, but she's not telegenic at all. AOC has demonstrated ability to work in front of a camera, and she would whip up the DSA nuts into a ballot-stuffing frenzy.

Also, for their soap opera needs, she can put on a little weight, play coy about her pregnancy status, allow speculation that maybe Hunter is not just her 'running' mate (being married sure wouldn't stop him), etc. There will be no room left for discussion of their anti-thriving policies.

OR....sex hormones do actively modulate and change immune cell behavior. Estrogen and testosterone—have strong immune-modulatory properties. This means they change how the body responds to inflammation, bacteria, and viruses rather than shutting the immune system down. You know, like the dormant chicken pox virus that activates and causes shingles.

Bottom line. You fuck with your sex hormones you reap the "benefits." IOW, you break it you bought it.

222 Gee Massachusetts seems like a fun place to look for a wifey. Abortion up until birth, pushing trannies and gender bending in schools and murdering your children after they’re born. It truly is a highly educated place- isn’t it? That good ole American education system has become the bread and butter of psychopaths.

While working on Nolan's film, Page developed shingles after feeling out of place while working "in a cast full of cis men." In his memoir, "Pageboy," the actor shared the cast and crew were "delightful to work with," but he still struggled to feel comfortable on set.

Typical leftist commie cocksucker whining. I read Russell Means' autobiography years ago and he had some of the same stupid shit. But with more ball-licking.

He spends most of a chapter star-struck about working with Daniel Day Lewis on Last of the Mohicans. I half expected him to write about how he dropped to his knees in front of Lewis and was amazed at how clean his penis was. It was THAT bad. Then he started talking about the crew, who he claimed were all virulent racists who talked nonstop about redskins, fire water, "How, white man. Me noble savage" and shit like that. What a fucking loser.

304 What a lot of people don’t realize is that Clancy was a labor and delivery nurse. The trial revealed she took her children one at a time into the basement, where, as they were crying for help she strangled each one on them with exercise bands. Remember, she deliberately repeated that act three times, going up and down the stairs. They also revealed at trial the strangulations were so brutal the children’s eyes were bulging out of the sockets.

Now take a moment to think about what kind of person could do that.

Now even worse, think about what it takes to stand and defend those heinous acts.

A pink sticker reading '#sidebah' and affixed to the drink holder on Clancy's wheelchair was caught on camera by the official court photographer this week.
It appears to be a reference to the way Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, says 'sidebar' in his Boston accent. The phrase has gone viral online as a satirical meme shared during the trial.
Repeated sidebars (private conversations between a judge and lawyers that the jury and public cannot hear) have been a feature of the contentious proceedings, with both the prosecution and defense regularly sparring with Judge William Sullivan.

Did you guys watch The Umbrella Academy? If you haven't seen it, don't bother. You wait for it get good and you keep waiting. At points, it gets okay, and then gets bad.

Boy, is that ever true.

UA starts out looking like it has all the ingredients for a good show, but

...well, let me put it this way-

You go to a nice 2-Star Michelin restaurant and notice that their menu has a specialty dish called, "Wagyu Surprise".

So, you order it. And the chef comes out with a beautiful Wagyu steak, perfectly marbled and ask for your approval.

You give it, and off the chef goes to the kitchen to prepare your dish.

An hour later he comes back with your "Wagyu Surprise" which turns out to be their imitation of Wolf Brand Chili. You know...like you buy in a can at the supermarket.

They turned that beautiful Wagyu Steak into Wolf Brand Chili...well...

I mean, yeah, you can eat it. It's edible.

But, fuck those guys!

344 I enjoyed the first two seasons of Umbrella Academy.

I have to say, in season three when she transitioned, it leads to the most unintentionally hilarious scene in the show.

Basically, in one of the first episodes of the season, she is shown walking along the street, and she stops in front of a barber shop and stares at a poster of men's hair styles.

Cut over to everyone sitting around hanging out at a hotel bar, she walks in with a short haircut. Someone says "Vanya, you cut your hair."

And she replies "I'm Victor now. This is who I've always been."

And literally everybody stands up and claps and congratulates her on finding herself and starts making plans to throw her a party.

The movie Hard Candy, where her very young character is trying to trap a possible pedo, is truly disturbing. The production team purposely put her in a red hoodie, symbolic of Red Riding Hood going into the den of the big bad wolf, but to slay him.

As a groomed minor in Hollywood, I am sure that she had to work through more than a few demons to do that role, but also wonder if doing the role messed her up even more. You wallow in a topic that you are a victim of. I couldn't do it.

If she was abused ON the set of Hard Candy? Levels of levels of messed up.

364 Uh, I spent my entire 20s in the 1980s. I don't recall any of that.

It was so great that Iowa played in the Rose Bowl with ANF stickers on the helmets. American Needs Farmers. 1982. Springsteen made bank on Born in the USA in 1984. Mellencamp hit on Rain on the Scarecrow in 1985.

Look ... I get it. Sometimes you're on the right side of the ledger, and sometimes you are not. The big blind-spot here, as always, is that not everybody wins in any economic situation. And they don't always lose because they suck or are lazy or dumb. Anymore than you win because you're smart or more motivated.

It comes down to luck of the draw a lot. Right place, right time.

But lets call it. Some here will defend the 80s because Reagan !!!

The 80s had superior music and it was crazy how much variety there was. Classic rock was still big, but techno, alternative, new wave, and yet Elvis was still getting airplay and the oldies had Sinatra. Science tells us that the greatest exposure to different styles of music peaked in the 1980s.

381 Eh...I am not going to carry any water for Ryan Reynolds. I saw those lovely videos of the eightys. That was the great part about that decade. Seriously awesome. Weird Science/Back to the Future awesomeness.

But...underlying this was some serious WWIII vibes. Total nuclear war with the Soviets. Which nobody thought would be a limited exchange. Red Dawn was the optomistic view. The other choices were letting the nukes fly.

Now granted, no one was thinking about the Cuban Missile Crisis. That was way in the past. But we did have a strong background vibe of nuclear war.

So...it was the best of times, and the worst of times...

Still, it was lovely. To be able to go back to that time...would be awesome.

He JOKED about setting a fire at his elementary school during an interview with the Arizona Daily Star. But his elementary school didn't have a fire. There was a school that had a fire in a different municipality, but Reynolds wasn't a teenager at the time. He was ten years old and he had no connection to that school.

The Maryland Renaissance Festival has banned fursuits this year, saying they don’t fit the Renaissance theme and that some patrons complained about feeling uncomfortable around them.

Son informed me that this particular faire (SWIDT?) takes place on a dusty field. That gave me horrid flashbacks to when I and about five other folks attended the Marin County RenFaire in the mid-70s. It was held in the middle of a prolonged drought and the dust that permeated the location was nearly unbearable. It did, however, convince me to never attend one of such events again these past 50 years.

Trump to Universities: End Anti-White and Anti-Asian Discrimination NOW or Lose Your Tax Exempt Status

Trump's been making a lot of moves to break the uniparty establishment cartel, which distresses fat piggies at the establishment cartel's sloptrough like Jonah Goldberg and Erick Erickson.

Gunther Eagleman
@GuntherEagleman
Aug 21
THIS IS HUGE.
The Trump Education Department just recommended stripping the American Bar Association of its power to accredit law schools.
A 500-page report concludes the ABA's accreditation arm is not independent, it operates like a cartel that injects its own political ideology into the process.
For decades the ABA has held a near-monopoly over who gets to become a lawyer in America. That monopoly is now under direct attack.
No more forced ideology.
No more one organization controlling the pipeline.
This is how you break the stranglehold!

He told the corrupt Marxist universities to stop discriminating based on race. The Supreme Court told them to stop discriminating based on race.

They continued discriminating based on race. Many made up new words and new programs and discriminated based on race while calling it something else. Many didn't even do that much.

Trump is now moving to end the tax exemptions enjoyed by these racist schools.

This is the New York Times, so enjoy the way they spin this.

Trump Moves to Strip Tax Exemption From Schools That Aid Minority Students

Aid how, New York Times?

Once again, we're back to hiding the details that make the left look like what it actually is.

The Treasury Department released rules that would prevent schools with race-based programs from qualifying for tax-exempt status, a threat to both higher education and other private schools.

A vague way to say it -- "race-based programs."

Is that what the Supreme Court found to be illegal -- "race based programs," whatever they are?

Or racially discriminating against the white and Asian races?

The Trump administration released new rules that could revoke tax-exempt status from any school offering targeted support to Black or other minority students, a sweeping change that opens another front in the president's campaign to reshape American education.

Targeted support? Are there any races that experience targeted discrimination, I wonder?

Because that's what the Supreme Court determined to be (obviously) illegal. Not "supporting" people. Discriminating against people based on their races.

The proposed regulations, which the Treasury Department published on Thursday, would add another element to the guidelines that schools and other organizations must follow to qualify for tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service. The rules would deny tax-exempt status to any school, including secondary schools and universities, if it has any policy or program, including admissions and scholarships, that the I.R.S. finds to be racially discriminatory.

Admissions and scholarships in "race-based programs," you say?

What does this mean?

Do you mean they affirmatively discriminate against white and Asian students in order to give illegal racial preferences to black and Hispanic students?

That's obviously what you mean -- and you support this practice.

So why can't you say it? If it's something to be proud of, why do you hide it?

Such a change would thrust the I.R.S. into the center of the Trump administration's push to pressure schools to abandon initiatives aimed at supporting Black and other minority students, efforts meant to address the nation's long history of racial discrimination and segregation.

Do these efforts, allegedly "meant to address the nation's long history of racial discrimination and segregation" involve any current, present-day racial discrimination?

Because again, this is what the Supreme Court determined was illegal

Trump officials, however, view such programs as a form of discrimination against white and Asian Americans, and federal civil rights lawyers have opened investigations on those grounds into admissions policies at Harvard, Yale and other schools.

Oh they view it that way, I see.

The threat of losing tax-exempt status would tighten the financial squeeze the administration has applied to higher education by withholding federal research funding. Last year, President Trump called for the I.R.S. to strip Harvard of its tax-exempt status, which experts said would be contrary to a federal law prohibiting the I.R.S. from carrying out politically directed audits.
While schools may still not owe much in federal income taxes even if they lost their tax-exempt status, the exemption is valuable because it allows donors to deduct donations they make directly to the school, helping fund-raising efforts. The rules will take effect after May 31 and apply to as many as 18,000 schools, the Treasury said.

And the US national policy trajectory is fragmented into 4-year segments (or less if you count Congress's devolution to sketchily germane reconciliation bills being the only actual meaningful legislation ever passed).

So there we are.

It took 40 years to get to the Immigration Act of 1926 which effectively stopped all immigration to America for a couple of generations.

Yes, it takes a long time, but we should never poo-poo positive steps. Positive steps lead to more positive steps.

55 The generally conservative governor of Alaska can only put forth judges that are recommended by the Bar Association, which means they are all lefty freaks. It is a broken system which has led to all sorts of useless and damaging judicial shenanigans up here, not least of which was a ruling by the courts that grand juries are not empowered to go after crooked judges. At some point, this will come to a serious head and there will be blood spilled.

56 CNN: Canada poaches dozens of US academics as Trump administration tightens university funding...hiring of 64 scholars, who will be supported by more than 500 million Canadian dollars (more than $350 million) for eight years at several universities in Canada.

Forty-eight of the academics will come from institutions in the US, including Harvard, Cornell, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They come from a range of disciplines, including medicine, engineering, and climate science.

A dumb America very much serves the Project 2025 agenda. Its not a bug: its a feature. Trump loves the uneducated!

God I have been enjoying watching my country respond to America's bullshit. There will be problems, but overall it does feel like we hired the right guy for the top job

It’s not just Canada doing this - other counties have been courting academics whose research was defunded for 18 months.

And their economy is rebounding, and they have poutine and despise Putin…gotta see if I can move there.

$350 million for 8 years for 64 professors. That's $683,593.75 a year apiece. Let Canada have them.

Because again, this is what the Supreme Court determined was illegal

Trump officials, however, view such programs as a form of discrimination against white and Asian Americans, and federal civil rights lawyers have opened investigations on those grounds into admissions policies at Harvard, Yale and other schools.

Oh they view it that way, I see.

Judge thanks jurors
After declaring a mistrial, Judge Sullivan thanked the jurors for their service.
'Each one of you knew how long the case was going to go. You knew how difficult the case was going to be to listen to, facts-wise, but still, you braced for that duty,' he said.
'I understood that you all gave everything you could, and probably more than you thought you could, and so, on behalf of myself, I just want to thank you so much.'

NOW: President Trump just WENT OFF on the Federal Reserve possibly RAISING interest rates and the market going DOWN despite an incredible jobs report

"Every time we do well, the stupid people want to immediately stop this Great Upward Momentum! GROWTH DOES NOT CAUSE INFLATION!"

47 says every interest rate point costs $650 BILLION

"How crazy is this? We just got GREAT Numbers on Jobs, the Market should go UP, because our Credit and Economy are better but, as always, for the past 25 years, the Stock Market goes DOWN, because we’re living under False Reality that if things are good, you’ve got to “KILL IT” because of a “fear” of Inflation. It should be the opposite."

"We should be doing GDP of 15 and 20%, not 2, 3, and 4%, and America should become Far Greater Financially than it is right now. Our Debt would be paid off, and all of these other things would happen."

"Remember, every point in the Interest Rate costs the U.S. 650 Billion Dollars a year. We should pay the Lowest Interest Rates in the World because we make everything run, and give otherwise failed countries Great Economic Wealth!"

Prosecutors will decide whether to re-prosecute Clancy. Now, she must wait until September 29 to return to court to face the prospect of a new trial.

She may also be offered a possible plea deal to settle the case and spare her another ordeal, however prosecutors have not yet indicated if they will offer her a deal.

A second trial would begin again from the start, meaning the court would proceed from jury selection and lay out the entire case again.

206 I did not watch any of the trial. But, from reading about it, the prosecution team seemed underwhelming. If they re-try, gotta think better prosecutors will be assigned. Maybe that is what Reddington is worried about.

Defense attorneys usually only have one or maybe two solid defense strategies. The prosecution can change their strategy quite a bit, even if the evidence does not change a ton.

There are several books on Academic Fraud, I used to pick up a few. over 90 percent of scientific papers are never referred to again by anyone.

Not to mention the reverse. The Burgess Shale fossils, a huge discovery in the 70s had been sitting in drawers in a university for 50 years or so because the guy who dug them up didn't even look at them hard nor put any students on them, nor did anyone else.

You could probably discover tons of things just by fishing about in the archives of these places.

Let’s call this what it is, the defense attorney in the Lindsay Clancy trial just doxxed the lone member of the jury that led to this mistrial. By publicly pointing out that the single holdout in the 11-1 mistrial was one of only three men on the jury, he put a massive, dangerous target right on that man’s back. Why would a defense lawyer leak specific demographics about a lone holdout? Because it sends a chilling message to every single juror who will ever sit in that courtroom if they have a retrial:

“Align with us, or we will expose you to the mob.”

We are living in a terrifying time when the press and defense attorneys can weaponize public pressure against a lone citizen doing his civic duty. If the media outs this man, his safety is on their hands. Pray for that juror's safety.

233 The sloptrough, as you call it, of grifters actually has two sections.

The one with Jonah Goldberg and Erick Erickson is the one that says, "Things are going great for the Ronald Reagan Project, and you have us to thank with your money."

Of course, by 2015, when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president, no one except John Cornyn thought things were going great by any standard, let alone the standard of Ronald Reagan. These grifters reacted in a panic, attempting to force Trump out of the party, and later out of the White House. By now no one takes them seriously.

But there is another section of the grift: the ones like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens who say, "Things are worse than ever. Only by you giving me money can we save America." These people were temporarily aligned with Trump simply because he also was opposed to the status quo. However, once he actually moved toward actually SOLVING what was wrong with America, they jumped ship. The real reason for this was that their grift depended on having a large contingent of the GOP thinking that we were worse off than anyone had ever been before.

"The Trump administration is investigating whether COVID-19 vaccines contributed to the deaths of U.S. service members following the Biden administration's military vaccine mandate, according to testimony from an Army doctor assigned to the effort.

Army physician Theresa Long said in an Aug. 14 federal court deposition that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth detailed her to serve as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s senior medical military adviser.

Long said she is examining 2,544 unverified reports of deaths among service members submitted to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, following COVID vaccination."

Hating one's own culture just leads to the destruction of that culture. Something will replace it, and it seems like Canada prefers Chinese and Indian culture to their own. I hope the French-Canadians look forward to all their signs being in English, French, and Hindi.

==
Let us suppose that they did some background research on mr holdout juror and found that he had been sued and lost a case for discrimination against someone with a mental disorder, or perhaps had a blog or facebook where he described his philosophy against mental illness or depression as being fake or made up. I think had they asked those questions in voir dire and he denied it, then they found out later he lied. Then there would be a good case for kicking him off the jury.

I have to say that we do in fact look at jurors social media - as much as we can see - and try to determine if there is something they may have withheld. One time the other side tried to claim a juror and the defendant had an affair just based upon the fact that they came from the same home town of about 15,000 people. It was nuts. Completely made up desperate bullshit.

This is WILD!

“I don’t want a mistrial. Why would I want a mistrial? We kicked the sh*t out of their case”

Defense attorney then proceeds to say that the judge will “identify the juror” who is the sole holdout for a full finding of not guilty by reason of insanity.

This seems like egregious juror intimidation.

The sidebar that was done publicly, singling out the apparent sole juror, is basically putting a target on that juror’s back for when they will invariably be publicly identified.

I don’t know if this is standard protocol. But it certainly seems abnormal and very dirty.

349 "Impartial" jurors is relatively new phenomenon, is what I read somewhere.

The idea was, you want jurors who know the defendant, and know him well. A jury of your peers. Not strangers. "Yeah, I can totally believe he did it. The SOB is crazy as fuck".

The notion you're going to find 12 people who know nothing of the case and know nothing of the defendant and never be informed of the 42 prior arrests for the same thing and are going to be sequestered and all the rest of it is just silliness.

Frankly, I despise the notion of creating "new" alphabets and suchlike for languages that never created their own writing. Use the Roman alphabet to approximate the sounds as best as possible. And shitcan all the diacritical marks, too. It's all just an attempt to make the primitive's language opaque to normal people.

Maria Bartiromo Reportedly Fired by Fox for Sharing Information About Election-Rigging with Trump, Which Fox Decided Must be Suppressed

Update on Lindsay Clancy case, via Mark1971:

NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

Dylan Byers
@DylanByers
17h
NEW: The Maria Bartiromo backstory, per multiple sources familiar....
Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies... a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.
A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air.
Bartiromo took a screen shot of the guidance and sent it to senior White House officials.
Fox News leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the White House, which they viewed as a fireable offense.
Fox pulled Bartiromo from air after Aug. 9. She was fired today. I have also learned that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also fired after the annoucnement.
Maria had resigned her contract with Fox last February.

Ed Morrissey suggests that "resigned" there is supposed to be "re-signed."

He adds that Maria Bartiromo is looking to sue:

Byers did add another juicy tidbit last night. Bartiromo has hired a well-known attorney to handle the situation with Fox. Bryan Freedman is a heavyweight in the entertainment industry, described by the Hollywood Reporter in 2024 as a "street fighter" and "the Dark Knight"...

Bryan Freedman represented Tuq'r Qarlson in his own suit against Fox, and actor Justin Baldoni in his defamation fight with cardboard actress Blake Lively. Tuq'r Qarlson praised him as "one of the good ones." (Not really, he hates all Jews.)

What is Fox even doing? Do they want to be MSNOW?

Unfortunately, JD Vance said that it was unlikely she would join the White House as Press Secretary:

Reporter: Maria Bartiromo left Fox News. Is she going to be the next White House press secretary?

43 Joke for ace:

After his plane was hit and he was forced to eject, the Marine Corps fighter pilot finally regained consciousness. He was in a hospital, in a lot of pain.
He found himself in the ICU with tubes/IV drips in both arms, a breathing mask, wires monitoring every function and a nurse hovering over him, looking worried. It was obvious he was in a life-threatening situation.

The nurse gave him a serious look, straight into his eyes. Knowing he was not only a fighter pilot, but a Marine, she spoke to him softly and slowly, enunciating each word:
"You may not feel anything from the waist down."

Somehow he managed to mumble in reply, "Can I feel your boobs, then?"
And that, my friends, is a real positive attitude.

Chyron: "Iran War in Stalemate"

Hilarious. Quite a "stalemate" there, guys.

US strikes easily/with impunity at anything we choose in Iran. Iran has only ineffective missile/drone responses. US engineers 50-70% of pre-war Strait oil exports. Financial noose around Iran tightens daily (no Iranian options to counter). Currency worthless, banks shuttering, even regime thugs unpaid, rivets popping on every aspect of regime structure.

A "stalemate". Also a "quagmire" I suppose. Tragically such nonsense will have traction with many, as early 2000s idiotic hysteria fits demo'd.

92 For the (possibly) billionth time: Watching Milwaukee commit fraud in real-time in 2020 was astounding. They consolidated polling stations (COVID!!11!), had tons of mail-in fraud, and decided that it was a great idea during SOCIAL DISTANCING to count the ballots in a central location. So everything slowed down due to that last step, and they literally transported boxes of ballots with police escorts to City Hall in the wee hours of the morning. They had almost nothing set up to announce the results, and when they did, they just slapped pieces of paper on a whiteboard for the media that had camped out there.

It was truly unbelievable.

140 BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED
From her lawyer
“The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false,” Freedman said Friday. “Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise.”

He added: “Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth.”

Unless this was specifically in a jury note, how the f*ck does Reddington have any clue why the hold out is holding out?

And for those who think this is about the next jury pool, if the prosecutor is at all competent, there will be a motion to change venue. This crap would not fly in Western Massachusetts to the degree it does near Boston.

Posted by: Mark1971

So now she actually has schizophrenia or dysthymia?

Yup.

Lindsay Clancy’s condition of bipolar II disorder with severe depression and postpartum psychosis was formally diagnosed retrospectively on January 24, 2023, by forensic psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick.

That evaluation of Lindsay Clancy came after the tragedy occurred, reconstructing her mental state on that day by looking backward.

Part of the defense's argument and Clancy's separate civil malpractice lawsuit allege that these initial outpatient providers failed to properly diagnose her underlying bipolar disorder with postpartum onset prior to her psychotic break.

Sad. She was nuts way, way before then. The poor little children and then taxpayers pay.

217 "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

So the defense is stating that "debilitating mental illness" makes a criminal above the law because such perps are allegedly a "protected category".

So if an illegal alien has a "debilitating mental illness" — profoundly subjective in its definition, the illegal alien can rape and murder without consequence.

Who needs a lawyer now? Just find a shrink that will bestow upon the criminal the "debilitating mental illness" diagnosis. It doesn't matter if the DMI is totally under control of the criminal, such where they can switch the DMI on/off to whatever the situation requires.

That's a good question. Probably slowly at first, then all at once. Incremental carve-outs.

Part of it is due to perverse incentives in funding, and of course government regulation. "Least Restrictive Environment" in schools. We used to call them "handicapped" students, and that covered a lot of things other than mental cases. But they made it illegal to separate students for any reason.

Crazy has been normalized. And of course, along with that, normal has been demonized.

A Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist who was badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the Squad Leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.

The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road.

I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum-bag who got what he deserved.
He yelled back, "Barack Obama is a lying, good-for-nothing, left wing Commie who isn't even an American.
So I said, "Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian!
He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well, so does Nancy Pelosi!

295 277 Daniel Sickles killed a man in the street, and was the first person in US jurisprudence ruled innocent of murder due to temporary insanity. He later killed a great many soldiers serving in the Third Corps of the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg because he disobeyed order, but at least for that he lost a leg because of his stupidity.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: Clancy's Lawyer Seems to Dox the Lone Holdout, Identifying Him as a Male In Favor of Conviction
Judge Sends Jury Home Until Tomorrow

Juror intimidation by other jurors? The judge seems to suggest that the jurors passed a note identifying the lone holdout by juror number:

Viva Frei
@thevivafrei
The judge just instructed the jury "If there are any notes in the future... make sure we don't put down where everyone is numerically".
Well, the damage is done. And if it is wrong, going forward, it was wrong to have done in the first place.
Not only did the note indicate specifically ONE lone holdout and put a target on that juror's back, Reddington amplified it and said "the juror has been identified".
If that is not juror intimidation, I don't know what is.

Update: Clancy's lawyer wants to pause the trial so that he can appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Court, to ask them to kick the lone holdout on the jury. The judge has already refused to exclude this juror.

Update: I think the judge was about to declare a mistrial, because the jury reported they were hopelessly deadlocked, but the c-sucker defense attorney demanded a pause in the trial so he could try to get the holdout excluded and get a win.

🚨 NOW: The judge just got frustrated with the Lindsay Clancy defense attorney trying to appeal the mistrial and keep the exhausted jurors going
UNBELIEVABLE!
DEFENSE: I want to appeal
JUDGE: How much TIME do you need to do that?
DEFENSE: Filed today, argue tomorrow
JUDGE: Saturday?! So what, are we gonna tell this jury to come back tomorrow?! As they're WALKING IN you're asking for this. I'm trying to figure out what you're asking for...I'll give you ONE HOUR to petition for a stay before we bring the jury back down.

The judge called this move "unprecedented."

The judge just instructed the jury “If there are any notes in the future… make sure we don’t put down where everyone is numerically”.

That tracks with my one jury experience some 30 years ago in California. I think it was 8:4 female:male. I and one other male were votes to convict because the state literally had video of the suspect wearing the stolen merchandise. One Oprah-wannbe lady made up this whole story in her mind about how the cop -- a young Hispanic dude -- and the suspect -- a young Hispanic woman -- were having an affair and she broke it off so he was out to get her. Absolutely not one word even suggesting anything like that was said in court but she was sure she was right.

66 There’s a list of all the prescriptions Clancy was given on her Wikipedia entry.

A few of antidepressants, a few anti-psychotics, and Ativan and Klonopin for anti-anxiety, I guess.

Clancy had prescriptions from four or five doctors all around the same time because she kept hopping around to a new one every time she felt suicidal.

If she was on that cocktail of drugs I don’t know how she functioned on a daily basis. The Ativan and Klonopin alone would have had her floating around without a care in the world, combined with the other meds she probably slept all of the time.

I can see a hung jury - but I am surprised it is 11-1. I would have thought more people would have been unable to get past the admitted facts.

Like was posted the other morning. Some woman killed her three kids in the 50's. Got off on insanity. Hooked up with the same guy, had three more kids with him, then murdered them. Some women are stone cold murderers. Deal with it.

83 If commentary about the jury is to be believed, it seems like this one guy knows his shit and the other 11 are bug fuck nutz.

My one time on a jury it was 5/1 - civil case so we could have called it a day but we all wanted a unanimous verdict. We listened to the holdout's reasoning and, eventually, came to the conclusion that they were correct.

Amusingly, the ultimate outcome didn't change as a result as the holdout believed that both parties were to blame and we decided on a 50/50 split of culpability so no money changed hands. As would have been the case if we'd gone with a 5/1 verdict.

She was an RN and knew what she was taking and how it would affect her life. She admitted that she didnt take them. I think the whole thing was premeditated for this crazy act. Her husband was cheating on her and she decided to hurt him in the worst way. She wasn't crazy she was calculating.

She is guilty in my mind. The only question is does she get life in prison without parole or somehow not guilty by reason of insanity, spends 30 years in a mental facility (like Reagan's shooter), and is someday released. I would much prefer the former, but everything else is now red v blue.

104 This judge is not following the law. As I understand it!

The judge is compelled by the laws of the Great State of Massachusetts to pistol-whip a single holdout juror until he changes his vote to bring in a unanimous verdict! If that fails the judge is compelled to tell a bailiff with a revolver to put one cartridge in the cylinder, spin and close it, put the gun to the holdout's head and pull the trigger. This process to be repeated until the holdout stops holding-out or is killed! In the latter case, the defense attorney will personally select an alternate juror to replace the holdout! If the holdout is killed, his body shall remain where fallen until the jury is brought into the courtroom.

Chicken egg? There is pre existing rot sure. But, I think it plays a causative role based upon female psychology. They are far more likely to mass hysteria than males. Its their need to be socially connected - part of a group. So when a bunch of crazy bitches start ranting, and other bitches who identify with them see it, they adopt the rant, and amplify it so join in the group dynamic. Men are less prone to social pressure. Not immune, but less prone to yield to it fully. Its not their identity.

156 Sean Davis-

Here’s what you can intuit about what’s happening in that jury room:

1) The TikTok Karens on the jury tried to henpeck the only sane juror there into letting a demonic babykiller go free.

2) That didn’t work, so the TikTok Karen who got herself elected foreman tried to get him thrown off the jury by lying about him to the judge.

3) That didn’t work, so now the defense attorney, working in concert with the TikTok Karen foreman, is trying to gin up a public lynch mob against the only sane juror to intimidate him into freeing a demon who strangled her own children.

The obvious problem with trying to incite a mob of deranged TikTok Karens against a grown man is that unlike the babies they all fantasize about strangling, the TikTok Karens don’t have the hand size or grip strength to strangle a grown man. This only enrages them more.

All they have is henpecking and emotional extortion. When those don’t work, all these succubi can do is screech.

The sample period isn't predictive. Most existing data centers were minor incremental demand on highly urban areas.

New data centers for AI are going to be primarily in rural areas where they will represent a much larger increase in demand. Now it's possible that they build out enough generation that the supply increase offsets that, but that's unknown at present.

But what is this? BBC, updated 3 minutes ago, Lindsay Clancy's lawyer to file last-ditch appeal before judge declares mistrial in murder case

In part, "Before the judge formally declares a mistrial, Reddington says he wants to make an appeal.

It involves the American with Disabilities Act, arguing a juror took a position that was intractable regardless of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. He says he wants an opportunity to make the appeal before the mistrial is declared.

He says it would be filed today and he would argue it tomorrow.

The judge expresses frustration at the thought of bringing the jury back again tomorrow."

Exactly. He's one juror away - he thinks he can make the case that the juror isn't following the law and should be kicked off and an alternate placed. He already knows who the alternate would be - and probably is happy with them ?Her? So yes, he is going to pull out all the stops to get the holdout kicked. There is no way in heck that should happen. No way. Its total horseshit and completely stands everything on its head to get the outcome he wants. Unlikely even the Mass Sup Court will do it.

And which they would not cut. My mental model of organizational behavior is that as a general rule of thumb, an institution's administration would typically rather see the organization cease to exist than see it continue with less administration.

I believe that there is a perceptual fault where failing companies' mass layoffs of management are salient precisely because they're so rare. Having bloated to the point of parasitism, management loses sight of any organizational purpose beyond itself.

WBZ-TV legal analyst Jennifer Roman spoke about the seriousness of the allegations.

"It can definitely have a chilling effect on these jurors," Roman said. "They are doing this under a cloak of confidentiality. There's a reason why the press is not allowed to show the faces of these jurors. There's a reason why jurors are polled every day that they go into that courtroom and asked if they've read the news, if they've talked to anyone about this case. We want to keep those jurors in a protected bubble while they do their work. So this woman coming in and photographing them is really dangerous to those jurors and these deliberations."

Noodling on that, it seems he would be concerned about getting a similar jury in the future and some double jeopardy play on the first degree murder charge. If I understand correctly, options the jury had were: first degree, second degree, manslaughter, not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsiblity, and plain old not guilty.

245 "Lindsay Clancy was suffering, I find it interesting. That all of a sudden conservative women are defending big Pharma."

--

I was unaware conservative women were "defending big pharma" by acknowledging this woman is guilty of strangling her little children, one by one by one. She did it. She's guilty. I do not believe she was insane. I do not believe she was hearing voices (that suddenly disappeared after this murderous action). I do believe she had mental problems. I do believe, from what I've read, she coolly and with purpose, planned what she was going to do and when she was going to do it.

According to Cleveland Clinic: Postpartum psychosis can affect anyone who recently gave birth. While it usually happens within several days of giving birth, it can happen up to six weeks after.
SIX WEEKS NOT 9 MONTHS. She was on seroquel, which is pretty effective. I don't believe a word she said. As a LD&P nurse, she knew all about PP psychosis.

303 News Nation, "What happens to Lindsay Clancy’s lawsuit after the criminal trial?"

It begins, "(NewsNation) — As the jury continues to deliberate whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible for her children’s deaths, she AND her husband still have medical malpractice lawsuits claiming health care providers failed to properly treat her." (Emphasis added.)

She took her daughter out in the AM. (Maybe she was going to take that kid and run, or just kill the girl. Who knows?)

Thereafter, she was cogent enough to send her husband out, get all 3 kids (hadn't at least one been eating?) down to the basement - which was largely her husband's workday domain - and kill all three, including the older boy found inside his father's office, reportedly.

Then go back upstairs a few floors, cursory cut wrists, sort of fall from their bedroom window onto the ground (no concrete, wall, fencing, etc.) so her husband would see her first thing when he returned, and delay a search for the children a few moments.

I would think not many physically sound 30 somethings die from certain wrist cutting and/or jumping or falling 2 stories onto dirt and grass (even in the wintertime).

309 291 Is Clancy even saying she didn't do it? I didnt even think that was in the mix, it was that yes she did it, but she's insane. Never a finger pointed at the husband.

Why did she "jump" with the pretend suicide if she didnt do it?
Posted by: Sharpie at September 04, 2026 01:11 PM (Kebsl)

The trial was for finding if she was criminally responsible for the murders. Not if she was guilty of committing them.
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at September 04, 2026 01:12 PM (ccf/V)

The women who ~~think~~ know the husband is guilty think that she was drugged up and after he murdered their children he pushed her out the window and also told her that she did it.

Did you know n the United States after Lindsay Clancy there has been 7 more? And Lindsay was only three years ago.

Kimberlee Singler(CO'23) - 2 kids (9& 7)
Jennifer Stately (MN '24) - 2 kids (6 & 5)
Janette MacAusland(MA '26) - 2 kids (7&6)
Hailey Dempsey (FL ' 26) - 2 kids (4 & 4mb)
Marlene Vidal (TX'26) - 2 kids (6 & 5)
5.3K
Sarah Myers (NY '26) - 4 kids (13, 11, 10, t6)
Tailey Erhart (ND '26) - 2 kids (3 & 5mo) 1к

We need a wellness check for every home that has a Clancy supporter.

That was my first thought too. Did a bit of light digging on AI. If it to be believed, the National Center for State Courts study examined 453 cases from the late 90's that had ended in hung-jury mistrials. Of those:

32.0% were retried before a new jury.
2.4% were retried as bench trials.
31.8% were resolved through plea agreements.
21.6% were dismissed.

Among the cases that actually went to a second jury trial, the outcomes were:

69% conviction
19% acquittal
8% second hung jury
4% mistrial for reasons other than a hung jury.

I was unaware conservative women were "defending big pharma" by acknowledging this woman is guilty of strangling her little children, one by one by one. She did it. She's guilty. I do not believe she was insane. I do not believe she was hearing voices (that suddenly disappeared after this murderous action). I do believe she had mental problems. I do believe, from what I've read, she coolly and with purpose, planned what she was going to do and when she was going to do it.

AI Overview: (In part)

Following her initial hospitalization, she underwent intensive physical therapy at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Massachusetts.

While being held at Tewksbury Hospital, a state psychiatric facility, her schedule included regular sessions with a physical therapist. However, prosecution expert psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack testified that Clancy was often deeply depressed and "wasn't very interested in the physical therapy" she was receiving there.

She requires continuous physical therapy and passive range-of-motion exercises to prevent her legs from experiencing severe muscle atrophy and joint contractures.

Because she lacks sensation and mobility from the waist down, she faces a lifelong risk of medical complications like bedsores, cardiovascular issues, and respiratory vulnerabilities. She will permanently require assistance and medical equipment for basic activities of daily living.

There will be more like this if she gets off.

I blame social media madness (girls snotting on video for various vanity stupidity for attention). Planned Parenthood and lesbians win the demon prize...and satan wins if children are now sacrificed for hormone swings.

Post partum depression to 1yr is bullsharte. Especially for gravel face who had a nanny, two grandmothers and a husband working at home to help her. Plus the older two in preschool/daycare during the week. She was not working.

THE MORNING RANT: Big Four Accounting Firm Settles with DOJ for $21 Million Due to Racist, DEI Hiring Practices

As a reminder of just how deep the woke virus seeped into corporate America, even the conservative world of public accounting is infected. It was just last week that I wrote about red state Attorney Generals notifying the Big Four accounting firms that they may be flirting with criminal behavior by pursuing climate and ESG goals at the expense of their clients. The AGs’ letter specifically stated that the accounting firms may be engaged in “deceptive and unfair acts and practices” because of their climate and social justice agenda.

Now comes news that one of those four firms has just agreed to pay a $21 million fine as a result of its racially discriminatory hiring practices.

“Deloitte agrees to pay $21.5 million to settle DOJ probe into DEI practices” [Fox Business – 08/25/2026]

Accounting firm Deloitte agreed to pay $21.5 million to settle Department of Justice allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by failing to comply with anti-discrimination requirements in federal contracts and discriminating on the basis of race or sex, the department announced Tuesday.

As a federal contractor, Deloitte is not allowed to engage in hiring practices that prioritize candidates based on their sex or the color of their skin. Perhaps because Deloitte thought it was engaging in the “good” kind of racist hiring, it must have thought the government would smile on its vulgar actions. In fact, the Obama/Biden administrations certainly did favor such discrimination. However, racial discrimination in the name of DEI is not tolerated under the Trump administration’s Department of Justice.

Deloitte had little choice but to settle, because its proven actions were explicitly racist and well documented. Per the DOJ, Deloitte assigned its leaders goals for required racial demographics, and if too many white men were hired, there were negative consequences for partners, principals, and managing directors. Monthly tracking reports were distributed documenting how successful the various units were in denying jobs and promotions to white men.

Newly sworn-in Attorney general Todd Blanche stated about Deloitte’s institutional racism ”Government contractors cannot reward or penalize employees based on race or sex — and labeling the practice DEI does not make it lawful. The Justice Department will aggressively pursue government contractors that have used taxpayer dollars to fund unlawful discrimination."

Deloitte’s left-wing CEO, Jason Girzadas, is a huge fan of DEI. At his now-deleted Twitter account (@jgirzadas), Mr. Girzadas stated that “#DEI is a pillar of focus at @Deloitte, as we work to find new initiatives that drive purpose and impact.” Apparently one of those “new initiatives” was setting formal goals for discriminating against white men, and instituting corporate protocols to punish those who failed to discriminate accordingly.

Mr. Girzadas has not been fired, despite his racist leadership costing the accounting firm millions in fines. Even more damaging may be the reputational damage to Deloitte. I would never recommend hiring Deloitte so long as the leadership that enforced racial quotas remains in place.

You’ll not be surprised to learn that according to his Deloitte biography Mr. Girzadas is on the Board of Directors of the US Chamber of Commerce and is also a member of the Wall Street Journal CEO Council. Both are formerly respectable business organizations now captured by the left, and pushing the left’s agenda.

What is most despicable about people like Jason Girzadas is that he has reached the pinnacle of success, and is likely earning more than $10 million per year, yet his white-guilt has him boasting about shutting the door of opportunity to young men who might want to try to follow his path. He is living large while feeling smug about denying job opportunities to young accountants seeking their first job.

Related to all this I have a few other thoughts:

• The “Accountant Shortage”: There is a well documented shortage of new CPAs and accounting graduates. Can you imagine how awful it would be if you were in charge of hiring at Deloitte when there is a shortage of potential accounting hires, yet you’ll get punished if you hire a qualified white man?

• Why would a young man want to pursue a degree in accounting when the Big Four seek to avoid hiring you based on your race?

• This is yet another example of why young men are understandably disaffected. The Great Awokening mainstreamed the hatred of white men. Those of us already engaged in our careers hunkered down and lay low in our corporate jobs, but young men were told they could not participate in corporate America at all.

• We can hate on podcast bros, but while academia and corporate America was making clear their antagonism toward white men, the podcast bros welcomed them.

• HR is not to blame for corporate wokeness. Truth be told, many (most?) corporations have now outsourced most HR functions to subcontractors primarily staffed with screen-readers in India. The blame for corporate wokeness lies squarely on senior executives in the C-Suites. They are crusading true believers in DEI, ESG, and the climate hoax. They need to be replaced.

It is heartening that the Trump administration is aggressively targeting the criminal DEI and ESG policies of corporate America.

It is disheartening that Deloitte is just going to pay a fine without any further consequences for its leadership. I am ready to see some corporate executives receive the Enron treatment for their unlawful actions in support of the woke agenda.

1) On the first offense, they lose eligibility for any federal dollars, be they scholarships, loans, for five years.
2) On the second offense, they are closed down permanently, and the people implementing it go to jail.

SCOOP: The Treasury Department and the IRS are expected to roll out a new reg to end federal tax-exempt status for private schools that discriminate on the basis of race, the Daily Caller learned.

This would apply to schools found to have discriminated in admissions, athletics, scholarships, loans, educational policies, etc.

One official estimated this could affect as many as 18,000 private schools. "

Depends on a number of things, but there is generally a process for release from a psychiatric hospital if she gets committed for this. The process is usually that she will only be released if both the psychiatric review board considers her not dangerous, and the victims are not active in objecting to the release.

180 Depends on a number of things, but there is generally a process for release from a psychiatric hospital if she gets committed for this.

My assumption is the jury foreman is advising the judge on what's happening in deliberations and is in turn advising counsels.

Again, a juror is not required to go along with the other jurors findings of fact.

The holdout juror saw all of the same fact patterns during trial and formed is their own finding of guilt or innocence.

As the cool kids say, this is how the system works sometimes.

246 Beyond a reasonable doubt doesn’t mean beyond all doubt. The word reasonable gives a lot of wiggle room to any juror. This is a clown show

247 As for LSU - The SEC filed an emergency motion in Federal Court requiring LSU abide by the rules they agreed to with the other SEC schools, and of course to override the local judges ruling.

The alternative is to kick LSU out of the conference after the SEC commish has a nice talk with the Big Ten and Big 12.

The NCAA is a total f*ck up for sure, but they were formed to prevent just what is happening. Funny how that works. College football is looking at a bubble explosion of their own making.

If it was 11-1 for acquittal, they'll never retry this case. They'll take whatever plea they can get.

250 I imagine it matters if the holdout told the rest of the jury he wouldn't vote to acquit no matter what.
Posted by: Archimedes at September 04, 2026 11:53 AM (Riz8t)

Because he sat through the trial, saw all the evidence provided and came to an undeniable conclusion she was guilty.

That's not illegal.

I was unclear. I meant he said that before listening to the evidence.

I believe the note to the judge said the lone juror had some doubts but still wanted to convict. There's nothing wrong with that. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" isn't the elimination of ALL possible doubts.

This is very unusual what is happening.

274 I had a professor in law school got called in for a drunk driving trial. Turned an 11-1 for acquittal into 12-0 conviction by telling the jury all the kinds of things that were likely excluded based on various comments, objections, etc. during trial. Turns out it was the perp's 5th *conviction* for drunk driving. Probably a couple dozen more arrests (this being Boston, after all). Frankly, I was proud of my prof. It's one thing for a misdemeanor that really doesn't harm anyone, but a reprobate drunk driver who is a failed saving throw from maiming or killing someone, I've got no problems.

Top of his class at a prestigious university (one of the few that tilts conservative), interned with the wonderful Republican AZ legislature member when she became Treasurer of AZ, followed by work in top wealth advising firm and venture capital.

He says the company is changing these last few years, and they are back to hiring on competence. All the big firms got sucked into DEI. McKinsey was and is by far the worst offender. Even Mitt Romney’s Bain didn’t stand against it. Maybe that’s not such a surprise.

I thank you, gentlemen. The year has been a good one for the Society (hear, hear). This year our members have put more things on top of other things than ever before. But, I should warn you, this is no time for complacency. No, there are still many things, and I cannot emphasize this too strongly, not on top of other things. I myself, on my way here this evening, saw a thing that was not on top of another thing in any way. (shame!) Shame indeed but we must not allw ourselves to become too despondent.

One of my earliest, fondest, awestruck, and inspirational memories as a young boy is of my uncle -- a disabled iron worker (bad back injury that turned him into a self-medicating alcoholic) in the late 60s -- driving me around the beautiful red-brick buildings in downtown Butte, MT, pointing out to me all of the various structures he worked on and helped build during his career.

That memory always come flooding back whenever I go back to visit my family there in the birthplace of my parents ...

Rescued it from a building from demolition across the street from Madison Square Garden in 1984. The artist, Louis Ross, did extensive murals for the '39 World's Fair and was a protege of Hildreth Meiere, a woman who helped bring Art Deco to the US. She studied in Paris around 1920. They did a goodly amount of work on Rockefeller Center decoration both inside and out.

139 For those who've never been -- but eventually get -- to Santa Catalina Island (off the coasts of L.A. and Long Beach), they have a wonderful old Art Deco theater called the "Catalina Casino" -- in Avalon, built in 1929 by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. Despite its name, it's not a gambling facility; the term "casino" refers to an Italian gathering place for social events.

The structure stands 12 stories tall and houses two primary attractions: the Avalon Theatre on the lower level, which was the first theater designed specifically for sound films ("talkies"), and the Wrigley Ballroom on the top level, featuring the world’s largest circular dance floor with a 50-foot ceiling and panoramic views of Avalon Bay.

It served as a hub for Big Band music in the 30s and 40s, hosting legends like Glenn Miller and Harry James, and includes: a restored 1928 pipe organ; original hardwood floors; and a wrap-around Ocean Promenade.

Stephen Tyler actually has very strong vocals, that he pushed to the absolute max, hence his recent vocal cord injury. To scream in range like he does and immediately return without being pitchy takes talent. If you hear his vocals in isolation, there is not much that gets engineered, which is amazing with this genre. He does not have the range Axel Rose did (does? He has been hard on his voice, too), but he has pipes under all that flair.

The hilarious things about the scramblers is (when I gave a shit about football, 20 years ago) is that they always end up sucking. Scrambling is not a plan. They always get tremendous hype, but ask Fran Tarkenton how many superbowls he WON. You scramble because your offensive line sucks- not as a first order plan.

Posted by: Don Black at September 04, 2026 10:48 AM (ZxPkt)

Interesting comments this morning when the prosecution and defense were arguing what to do about this juror. Supposedly the jury foreman's note acknowledged that this holdout juror has expressed doubt but still won't "apply the law".

This doesn't bode well for finding her guilty as charged.

does he know that for a fact or is he just saying things to affect public opinion before a potential mistrial? I believe that he's also said that 11 want to acquit but there's no way he should know that and, if he does, then it should already be a mistrial.

To be fair these are the same type of retard that would hike carrying a claw hammer for their tent stakes 30 years ago. Or who argued with me 10 years ago about paper maps (which "aren't real maps, they are just a picture of a map"). It's just that now they're convinced they know what they are doing because omnipotent tiny man in their phone told them what to do.

After the jury was out a good long while, they sent a note out about how to calculate punitive damages. Seeing the writing on the wall, Toyota quickly settled. When informed their services were no longer required, the jury was pissed. They said they weren't going to award punitive damages, they just wondered how that worked.

The one building is on the east side of I35, is abandoned and has been for years, and will stand for the rest of time because it's full of asbestos and is too expensive to have abated so it can be demolished.

My thought is, wait for one of the spring storms to come through, wait for the wind to be just right, then blow the bitch up.

Asbestos abatement is simply spraying it with water when removing to keep dust particles from flying.

Heavy rains should take care of most of that.

The Morning Report — 9/ 4 /26

Walzing Borders.jpg

Good morning kids. Well at long last the Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer is here. Let's start off with arguably the most serious of domestic issues the disaster that has been the erased border and all of the troubles that it has engendered. First off is a story that many had thought might precipitate yet another trademark Democrat-induced/fomented summertime season of rioting, in an effort to boost Democrat voter enthusiasm, and power-grabbing.

Federal prosecutors have charged an ICE officer with lying to investigators about his shooting of a Venezuelan migrant in Minneapolis earlier this year, according to reports.
Christian Castro, 52, is charged with lying to federal agents about the January encounter in which he shot Julio Sosa-Celis in the leg. Making false statements to federal agents carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison, according to The Washington Post.
The federal charges come after Castro’s release from custody in Texas, where he had been arrested on Minnesota charges stemming from the shooting. His federal charges remain sealed, and he has not yet been taken into federal custody, according to the Post. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said during a May news conference that Castro fired toward a north Minneapolis home “with the intent to cause fear of immediate bodily harm or death to the four adults who were just inside the door.” The bullet struck Sosa-Celis in the leg before traveling through a closet and into the wall of a child’s bedroom, according to prosecutors.

Lest we forget that Minneapolis was the epicenter of the 2020 Summer of mostly peaceful rioting in the wake of the death of George Floyd who died while resisting arrest after ingesting his stash of narcotics to avoid a potential third strike and a long stretch in prison. It also resulted in the railroading of arresting officer Derek Chauvin who, at least in this instance was merely doing his duty as the suppressed and distorted coroner's report clearly indicated. But the racialist grievance monger Democrat-Leftists demanded their scapegoat and they got it.

That's why this whole thing with Officer Castro just completely reeks of the same kind of grandstanding as well as attempting to hold Texas and indeed the nation hostage just as the crucial midterm elections are heating up.

Hold those thoughts for a moment as we go from the border war skirmish between Minnesota and Texas all the way to of all places Connecticut for another twist on this whole issue which really is or has the potential to lead to societal dissolution.

The city council for Democrat-run Danbury, Connecticut, voted to allow non-citizen migrants to serve as city police officers. The vote was taken in retaliation after federal immigration forces had recently conducted raids in the town... He added, “It’s legal. It’s allowed. It’s been recommended. … I do think it’s timely, and this vote sends a message to our immigrant community that you are welcome in Danbury.” The town’s Mayor, Roberto Alves, heartily supported the policy change and noted that he was an illegal alien when he first came to the U.S. Alves blasted ICE late last month after immigration officers spent several days conducting enforcement actions in the city. And he accused ICE of sowing fear and making local businesses a “ghost town” in the wake of the raids.

This abject mutt piece of shit and everyone who thinks and acts like him is the reason our country is a red-nether hair's width from turning into a third world shithole banana republic. The denigration and disrespect for the rule of law as a result of the continued denigration of America, its history heritage and founding as illegitimate, racist and repressive against colored people of color. And so, with the actions of our phenomenal President in doing all he can to restore our borders as well as institute sane immigration policies that exclude scumbags and cancerous tumors like this degenerate mayor, naturally we're going to get the reactions we are seeing as illustrated by Danbury and every other Leftwing shithole city and state in the nation to disobey and demonize the rule of law.

Obviously, a massive influx of illegal alien third-world indigents benefits first and foremost the Democrat Left.

The race for control of the US Senate is a dead heat.Conventional wisdom suggests the contests in swingy states like Michigan, North Carolina and Georgia could prove decisive — and they might. But it’s possible that the fate of the chamber known as the “world’s greatest deliberative body” will come down to a state not usually considered all that swingy: Texas. I lived in Texas in 2018, when Lone Star Democrats similarly felt confident that then-Rep. Beto O’Rourke would defeat the incumbent GOP senator, Ted Cruz. That didn’t happen: In a similar tough midterm cycle during a Trump presidency, Cruz narrowly prevailed. But what if this time is different? Talarico might not win — in fact, I don’t think he will — but it’s crucial for Republicans to understand how to prevent a leftist, “Christian”-cosplaying caricature like James “the Annunciation justifies abortion” Talarico from getting a job promotion to Washington. Many polls in Texas tell a similar story: Paxton suffers from softer support within the GOP, whereas Democrats are more unified in their support for the joker who has called capitalism “oppressive,” predicted the oil and gas industry is “not gonna last,” and has called for Americans to pare back “meat consumption.” Yes, that’s right — the guy taking a sledgehammer to the oil and gas and cattle industries is seeking statewide office in Texas.

The other thing that's different is despite the President's incredible success in rounding up and deporting the wetbacks is that they've had a many years headstart in invading Texas which is a major border state and miraculously has still managed to remain controlled by the GOP lo these many election cycles.

Does James Puertorico really have a shot? Only if GOP voters just assume he doesn't and just stay home, owing also to what I perceive as a kind of lukewarm support for Ken Paxton.

But there is some encouraging news here and across the nation in general that I'll leave you with.

Despite the nonstop propaganda in the media, the HarrisX poll reflects a very different political reality among Americans. 10 out of 13 key Trump policy positions continue to see majority support. His most popular policies are lowering prescription drug prices (84% support), deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes (74%), and requiring proof of citizenship to vote (70%). Trump’s least popular policy positions include placing a 15% tariff on imports from all countries (40%), allowing immigration authorities to access information on low-income families (48%), and eliminating mail-in voting (50%).. . 10 out of 13 key Trump policy positions continue to see majority support. His most popular policies are lowering prescription drug prices (84% support), deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes (74%), and requiring proof of citizenship to vote (70%)... Based on media coverage, you would think the majority of the country has turned against immigration enforcement. Despite the torrent of lies, that’s not the case.

Obviously all of us have to show up to vote to overcome the kind of fraud we know the Democrats are going to pull, perhaps not successfully in Texas but for sure in Michigan where they got away with it before and elsewhere where they control the election process via the Secretary of State and Governor, as well as the courts. And on that note, I give you full on revolution, or what should be!

This may be the first time a court has thrown out a congressional map after the primaries already were held using those maps. That would require a general election in different districts than the primaries. That is what the Missouri Supreme Court just did.
The Attorney General vows to go to SCOTUS:
Never before in American history has a court overturned a congressional map after a primary and before a general election. This unprecedented decision clearly violates federal law and has thrust our state into a full‑fledged constitutional crisis.

And so with all this plus all the other insanity in the linkapalooza, I bid you all to have a great, safe and relaxing Labor Day holiday weekend.

29 Why Opposition to Data Centers Is Perplexing

--

As an admitted lofo on data centers, I should be paying more attention to the pros and cons. But my visceral first reaction is negative simply because I've got such a low trust in anything that sounds like it has the propensity to track or invade my privacy. These data centers may have nothing to do with that at all. But I have such little trust in these behemoth sectors that it makes me automatically recoil. Not fair or informed, I know. But it's just my gut reaction.

53 The Trump administration has launched a direct federal challenge against Connecticut, filing a Department of Justice lawsuit over state policies that grant in-state tuition and financial assistance to eligible immigrant students. In response, Attorney General William Tong issued a fiery rebuke, declaring that federal authorities have no business dictating how local schools and colleges are run. Having originally fought for the tuition equity legislation as a state lawmaker, Tong vowed to defend Connecticut families against what he termed a cruel and intrusive attack. As the legal battle unfolds in federal court, state leaders are standing their ground, signaling that Washington has no authority to override local educational access.
Connecticut doubles down on benefits to illegal aliens that citizens report being denied for.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Trump Federal Housing Director Bill Pulte indicates that a major crackdown is coming against the Big 3 Credit Bureau "CARTEL" that take ADVANTAGE of American homebuyers

"Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion have been overcharging Americans for far too long. This will end soon." 👏🏻

"We are seriously considering bi-merge, and stronger solutions (SAFER and SOUNDER). We will not allow companies to take advantage of American consumers. No more."

"[They're] operating as 'cartel-like,' which is not in the best interest of American homeowners."

67 I think part of the problem with society can be attributed to the judiciary. Their drift left and alignment with leftist ideology is a major concern.

They not only side with the left in most cases, they're also responsible for upholding, or rejecting current and newly (legally) legislated laws. They have no issues with taking away your rights, but certainly don't want to curtail the government's and those who work for, or in it.

The issues with the judiciary's actions on illegals is just a symptom of a much larger issue.

77 Virginia Mom Gets 6-Month Suspended Jail Sentence for Letting 5-Year-Old Walk to the Pond

Mom, 8 months pregnant, takes a little bike ride with her son, 5, in their gated community. Back home he asks if he can go out again, on foot, to get some more feathers from the grass near the goose pond. She says sure. He knows his way around, and she has watched him cross the quiet streets safely a hundred times.

But then, someone sees the boy unsupervised and calls security.

Pretty soon there are three cop cars at Karyann's door, and two caseworkers.

The caseworkers put her on the child abuse and neglect registry (for 7 years).

The cops charge her with "Contributing to the delinquency of a minor," and a judge finds her guilty.

He was just doing what Joe Biden said to do. Shoot through the door.

93 Black Supremist Jemele Hill @jemelehill

America was built on the institution of slavery. It is how America became a world economic power — the buying and selling of people being tied to the economy. That is effectively white supremacy, since it was a race-based system.

Fast forward to other economic policies that were guided by race — housing, employment, etc. There were rules that prevented Black people from equally participating in the free economy.

In fact, one of the most glaring features of American capitalism is racial inequality. The racial wealth gap exists because specific policies were put in place to suppress economic participation.

So yes, capitalism is tied to white supremacy.

140 One of the major reasons the north beat the south in the civil war was because the north was more industrialized and resource rich despite the south being the location of the vast majority of slave labor. If slavery makes a place rich why wasn't the south able to at least match the north in economic resources?

144 General Shearman comparing comparative resources in the Civil War;

Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors.
You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with

Over 100 gallons of liquid meth found hidden in trailer frame on I-8 in Arizona

What we know:
The bust went down on Aug. 11 when an Arizona Department of Public Safety K-9 trooper pulled over a Ford F-350 pickup hauling a trailer. While talking with the driver, the trooper noticed signs that something wasn't right and decided to search the truck and trailer.

@PeterSweden7
Yet ANOTHER shocking court case from Sweden.
The court just acquitted a man that r*ped a 13 year old girl.
Here is a quote from the court verdict.
The court claimed the girl "looked considerably older than her age".
The court let the man go free.

The defense is the one who wanted sequestration. If prosecution argued against it then they're imbeciles and fuck them.

From above, re: Danbury, CT.

The Rhode island Current: 'The Police Officer Standards and Training Council (POST)—the state agency that oversees police certification—voted back in November 2020 to allow lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to enter police service.'

Non-citizens who are lawful permanent residents (green card holders) or have specific legal work authorization can legally serve as police officers in Connecticut.

CT Mirror, 'Can noncitizens be CT police officers? Depends where they apply' February 2024.

And in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, North Dakota, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Tennessee, Vermont, Colorado and West Virginia - though they may have just a tad different rules.

OTOH: While state laws increasingly permit non-citizens with work authorization or green cards to serve, federal laws regarding firearm possession (such as 18 U.S.C. § 922g) can create complex hurdles for certain non-citizen categories like DACA recipients. (AI Overview)

259 "Missouri court blocks Trump-backed US House map and orders it to be put to a vote"

Missouri AG “Never before in American history has a court overturned a congressional map after a primary and before a general election. This unprecedented decision clearly violates federal law and has thrust our state into a full‑fledged constitutional crisis.”

January 2018, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw out the state’s 2011 congressional district map, ruling that it was an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. The court found that the map had been drawn to unfairly favor Republicans. This decision had a massive impact across the state, but it was especially noticeable in the southeast quadrant (the Philadelphia suburbs).

By grouping virtually all of Delaware County into the newly created 5th Congressional District alongside parts of South and Southwest Philly, the map anchored a historically suburban county to a major urban center.

The maps were updated again following the 2020 Census & the Pennsylvania Supreme Court opted for a "least-change" approach, locking in this exact 5th District boundary through 2030.

It's a sh*thouse now.

Yeah, breach of contract...even though FOX controllers were being asshoe, and they were embarrassed by the revelations. If what FOX did was illegal, then she's a whistleblower, but only if she released it to the DOJ (which was belligerent to Trump), but not illegal for FOX to steer their so-called "Fair-and-Balanced" reporting away from certain stories.

The proper way is to make sure the paper trail is saved so that it can be subpoenaed during discovery...

Daily Tech News 4 September 2026

Top Story

Bernie Sanders (Stalinist-Vt.) is calling for a ban on AI superintelligence, having spent his life erasing the regular kind. (The Hill)

Fortunately AI doesn't yet reach the level of human general intelligence, and nobody is foolish enough to claim it does.
GPT 6 Astra: A new level of intelligence. (OpenAI)

Um.

Tech News

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered, every third-level .name domain has been cancelled. (Neil Fraser)

To explain: .name is what is known as a top level domain. There's no dot that comes after it.

The companies that own top-level domains get to sell second level domains to people. Those people can then use them as the see fit and create as many third (and fourth, and so on) level domains as they want, for free. ace.mu.nu and my own ai.mee.nu, for example.

.name is different, for a good reason. Since it directly models real names, they directly sell third-level domains.

Or did. If you have one, like, say, Neil Fraser, you are about to become nameless.

Because Verisign. All my homies hate Verisign.
Lenovo's new ThinkCentre X Ultra comes with AMD's brand new Ryzen AI Max Pro 495. (Tom's Hardware)

What's the difference between that and the previous Ryzen AI Max Pro 395?

I hugged you a face but I boughted it. (Tom's Hardware)

For $12.93 billion.
Intel's next-generation Nova Lake processors won't ship until Q1 2027. (Tom's Hardware)

And that's for the smaller models, up to 28 cores. The high-end 52-core version will arrive an unspecified number of months later.

Also, Razer Lake and Hammer Lake will follow, though we have no details on either of those as yet.
Salesforce says it wasn't able to keep its profit margins up because it was spending too much on Claude AI. (The Register)

I really have to wonder what these guys are doing. If they were using the Claude AI for production tasks like spam filtering, yes, that gets expensive. But they're not. They specifically say R&D.

With my personal Claude account - I recent upgraded to Max 5x, the $100 per month plan - I have built two databases, two compilers, and an interpreter, in the space of two weeks, 280,000 lines of Rust and 70,000 lines of code in a language that didn't exist a week ago except on paper. Test suites, custom fonts and UI designs.

Yes, I've been building out specs I wrote that I didn't have time to complete before now, but if Salesforce is blowing its budget this badly that means they are not writing specs.
Also, the emulator for my fantasy 80s home computer boots and runs Basic.

I had budgeted 24k of ROM for the font maps alone. The entire system - interpreter, compiler, assembler/disassembler, floating point library, disk manager, local networking and twice the number of fonts I had planned - currently totals 34k.
All the superintelligentsia went down at the same time. (Ars Technica)

I woke early from a dream where I was married to Nicole Kidman. She was apparently not a famous actress in my scenario, and we were not rich, but well enough off to have a three-bedroom house. For some reason we'd been apart for a while, and for some less sane reason she had three Australian aborigines, an old man and two kids, staying with us. I suggested firmly that they sleep in the spare room and leave our king-sized bed to us. She was agreeing with a smile when I suddenly woke up.

35 Movies! is running a block of Marx Brothers movies starting at 7 pm Central tonight. A Night at the Opera kicks it off.

Last night we watched 1946's Undercurrent, a semi-Gothic with a little resemblance to Gaslight and Rebecca. Katharine Hepburn stars as a dowdy young woman who is swept off her feet by big-time businessman Robert Taylor . . . but Taylor has secrets, including a rocky relationship with his brother (Robert Mitchum). This featured Katharine at her most appealing, Taylor at both his most charming and dangerous, and Mitchum playing against type as a rather sensitive guy (no, not gay).

woman reading a book and I asked what she was reading . It was a biography of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow.." I have read his biography of George Washington and it was very good,, "
" I told her. I said , "Are you particularly interested in history?". She said " I am a mathematician not a historian but I enjoy reading about history." I told her it was good to see people read, and not on cell phones". She responded, "I'm very old school. I prefer books." I told her she looked too young to be old school.

And on a tech note, the stupid autocorrect wants to change "Chernow" to "Cheerios". ( sigh)

She livec in the nicest neighborhood in her end of the city (two of her neighbors were statehouse representatives), and described it in her books and interviews as an industrial slum full of rats. When her mother sold the house, for a church parking lot, she made enough to send her daughter to Smith -- but, industrial slum you know. Her grandmother was superintendent of schools. Go ahead, call her Steinman.

I think we are discovering, in real-time, that most programmers are absolute shit when it comes to building applications.

What AI is exposing is the fact that far too many poseurs can't write specifications, can't describe something as simple as brushing teeth without leaving major gaps.

Also, because of no honest metric for new productivity, a developer using AI doesn't know how well they are using it. They probably have terrible work-flows, patterns and understanding of what it can do.

Then there are "vibe coders" who don't know what a robust, resilient, secure, maintainable program looks like.

I'm writing a massive SSOT prompt library that governs every element of an enterprise application. Every model, every mapping, every business rule, code style, taxonomy rules, test specifications and a myriad of other facets.

With a simple prompt I can quickly generate pages of markdown with mermaid charts that is oriented toward specific audiences.

One prompt, I was able to generate a end-to-end XPS capability that would take a team of developers three weeks, in less than 20 minutes. It has observability and security beyond what the team was generating before.

Yet to this day, I can't get a developer to not take three days to do a 3pt user Story. They don't want to us AI.

123 >I think we are discovering, in real-time, that most programmers are absolute shit when it comes to building applications.

Beat me to it. The dirty little secret of this industry is that it's rife with incompetence and the Dunning-Kruger Effect, yet people will accept a level of (low) quality they wouldn't in any other field.

I'm a DevOps/CI/CD engineer, and in 2026 I'm still encountering teams full of engineers who think they shouldn't have to write tests, much less specs. There's no fixing this level of stupid.

Probably being Indian, though I'm not personally familiar with what is going down there.

But it's a pretty safe guess. This isn't to say we don't have a ton of retarded westerners in these roles... but they just fundamentally lack the "take over the whole department" dynamic, so they are steadily pushed out.

Yes, I am salty about this topic after fighting Indians at one of the tech giants for years. Ultimately the bean counters laid off my entire US team and left it all to to Indians, after which the product collapsed and was dropped - but not before their fuckups killed several Americans.

Hey Ryan Reynolds - STFU

Not sure what's worse -- the way he speaks (ya know, like, like, like, ya know) or what he says.

Ryan Reynolds says ’80s nostalgia “paves over all the trauma” of the “tumultuous” decade:

“The 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a fucking mess and people forget that. It was a tremendous strife. Socio political tensions everywhere. We were still pretty fresh off… pic.twitter.com/CvNE3KLfff

New Mexico Man >>>> Florida Man

At least in this particular situation. Man Rolls Up to Police Station With Pickup Truck Full of Torn Up Flock Cameras

While most of the vandals ripping down automatic license plate readers prefer to go incognito, an Albuquerque character named Jevon Martinez isn’t afraid to show his face.
Weeks after Bernalillo county officials cancelled their contract with the controversial surveillance company Flock earlier this year, Martinez noticed the automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) were still up. In a series of videos posted on social media and flagged by KOB4, Martinez filmed himself tearing the camera towers down in order to return them to their rightful owners.
“Since [Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department] is busy — I know BCSO is busy, everyone who works for BCSO, I know you guys are busy, so I went ahead and helped you out,” Martinez says while driving his pickup truck, the bed of which is notably full of ALPR parts.
“We got a bunch of these bad boys,” he says in another video, showing off a truck bed stuffed to the brim with tower parts. “Let’s see how much I can get in one day. That’s gonna be the challenge for everyone out there.”
Playing the helpful citizen, Martinez drove his literal truckload of ALPR bits directly to the Sheriff’s department, where he was promptly taken into custody.

Here is the man himself

Man claims to have taken down every Flock camera in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, moments before he was arrested.

In a video shared on social media, Jevon Martinez said he was on his way to dropping off all the cameras at the sheriff's office.

He's been workin' on the railroad

Engineer retires at age 89 after 60 years on heritage railroads

On Aug. 23, 2026, Don Young put in his last day as a steam locomotive engineer — 60 years after his first such day. On that Sunday, he ran four trips aboard the Delaware River Railroad Excursions’ Chinese-built 2-8-2 No. 142 between Phillipsburg and Riegelsville, N.J., a total of a little under 70 miles. When he climbed down from the cab after putting No. 142 away in the railroad’s shop at a few minutes before 7 p.m., an era in heritage railroading ended. At age 89, Don had decided not to renew his federal engineer’s license, which expired that day; he’ll have no more 5 a.m. alarms to wake to.
***
Born in Baltimore in 1937, Young grew up chasing Maryland & Pennsylvania steam trains on his bicycle. After graduating from high school and a stint in U.S. Navy submarine service, he earned a degree as a metallurgical engineer and hired on with Bethlehem Steel; he retired from a successor firm in 2012, at age 75. Over the course of his career, he worked at the Sparrows Point (Baltimore) mill and three in Pennsylvania – Bethlehem, Fairless, and Steelton; all have closed. In his retirement, Young has volunteered at the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem, where you will still find him one day each week leading tours of the cold blast furnaces where he and his colleagues made high-quality alloy and tool steel.
For the past 40 years, Don has traveled the world, visiting 40-odd countries and seeing operating steam in all of them except Luxembourg and Iceland. In many of those places — including Poland, China, and Cuba — he rode in steam locomotives and ran them.

AI is a Moron?

This is wild… AI just cooked up an entire trailer for *Titty Killer 6: Tits of Mars* and it’s somehow both hilarious and unsettlingly polished.
Blonde astronauts sprinting through red-lit corridors, getting yeeted onto the Martian surface, the whole “we keep sending sororities to space” bit… it’s peak absurd B-movie energy, but the lighting, camera moves, and editing look legit.
If this is what AI can already spit out, the movie industry is about to get completely flipped. Studios better start adapting fast because the barrier to making this level of nonsense just dropped to zero.

A Dutch knight?

Arise, Sir AVH: Alex Van Halen knighted in the Netherlands for his part in writing a “remarkable chapter in the history of rock music.”

Alex Van Halen has been knighted – or at least given the equivalent honour – in the Netherlands.
The drummer spent the first nine years of his life in the country, before his family moved to California in 1962. But the Dutch government certainly hasn’t forgotten the Van Halen brothers’ roots.
The honour, the Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion (Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw), is one of the country’s highest civilian honours and is only given to those who have made “extraordinary contributions” to Dutch society and culture.

Some AVH for ya

34 I'm impressed with the career of the steam loco engineer. As a yute, I was invited to ride in the cab of locomotive by my great uncle who worked for the RR and they had some sort of special steam excursion. At the appointed time, my Grammi and I stood at the appointed crossing where Uncle Max would stop and pick me up. Uncle Max and his mighty machine huffed and puffed up and stopped. For whatever reason, he blew out one of the cylinders which engulfed Grammi and I. It scared me so badly that I peed myself and promptly ran into a cornfield to hide. Time and trains wait for no man so Uncle eventually had to leave without me.

Of all the regrets in life I might have, that one is the heaviest.

We took the boy to see Thomas the Tank Engine at the Railroad Museum in Green Bay when the boy was about four. Walking up to the facility, the full-sized Thomas rolled very slowly past, and blew the horn. The boy jumped so fast behind me and started shaking.

He recovered quickly, though, so credit to him. We went in to the event, and most of the clientele was under 3 feet tall, and every so serious about their heroes. It took him a good three weeks to get over how exciting it all was.

Also, we stayed at a hotel across the river from the museum, so when we crossed the bridge we told him it was the Island of Sodor....

Concur. He's blowing it out his ass. Born in 1976, this Canadian has no clue how great the 80's were. Regan as president, iran hostages released. No more gas lines. A rebuilt military. A good economy.

90 I greatly dislike Ryan Reynolds for many reasons other than he can't act and is one dimensional.

The video tonight gave me two recoils.

What is that rolled up flannel snot rag on your throat? Is this a trend he's trying to set as a deflection from marrying an equally narcissistic weirdo? It looks very stupid, Ryan. I don't understand the point of this unless you are hiding a large zit or worse. Maybe a goiter?

Secondly, he's wearing eye concealer makeup like a ghey. I know this as it's reflecting light and also applied with a trowel. Real men don't or should not do this, Ryan.

You look lame, Ryan.

Aging is making your beady eyes somehow closer together, which is not attractive on anyone.

Go burn down another elementary school, that you thought was hilarious. I think you got way too many atomic wedgies in school and your emotional maturity stopped at that point.

Well, Ryan Reynolds is trying to push some retarded movie about a SR-71 pilot who gets shot down over Russia in the 80's and Kenneth Brannah rescues him cause he's an "Merica lovin' dude and not even in any alternative reality can the the scenario be close to plausible and it's pretty obvious he's high and disinterested giving the interview, so...

As much as I cut my teeth on 80s pop, by the end of the 80s I turned to metal. Helped, in large part, by Headbanger’s Ball and the pearl clutchers who assured all of us that metal was scary, and dangerous, with its lyrics about sex, drugs, violence, and SATAN WORSHIP.

Basically all society did back then was give every potential green light a teenage boy needs. “Hmmm. WHY is metal so scary and dangerous??! I better go find out…” : )

Pervasive surveillance is unAmerican. No hysteria is needed.

And if the public doesn't trust pervasive surveillance or AI datacenters, who can blame them? What institution hasn't completely forfeit the public's trust at this point?

People keep talking about how all opposition is Chinese op. Funny how that talking point emerged out of the ether just like any other astroturf.

I'm a little tired of hearing how if I don't allow myself to be herded into support for "x," the terrorists win.

Here's a recreation of that hexagon pattern in the lab:

First video I could find. It's caused by differential rotation of a fluid, and they set that with water in cylindrical tank set up where they can spin the inner and outer parts at different speeds.

These polygons naturally come out of that. With different values of the speeds and other variables, you can get anything from triangles, to squares, and on.

169 I had layered hair with sort of bangs, but still long in the '80's. I could still wear a French braid to work in the newborn nursery.

I wanted "The Rachel" from friends in the early '90's. Went to a new hairstylist and made the horrific mistake of asking for a shag, thinking, sort of, that's what she had.

I got a shag and my hair is thick. To a man and sons the first thing they said when they saw me later was: "Why did you do that?" It was traumatic. I wept later in our bedroom bad. The top layer was only about 2" long and it was very curly (as that is what my hair does if I don't correct it).

Women loved it. My men hated it and never, ever again. It remains an inch below my shoulders, blunt with blonde highlights. I may do this forever as it's easy. I don't care that I am olde.

College at the very end of the 70's into the 80's, and then off to the job market. I didn't have a lot of time to mess around in the 80's, really. Left home at 17 and never looked back. Lots of really fast life changes, and always the need to support myself. But there was nothing wrong with the 80's. No racism that I remember, no real sexism either, except the stupid kind that was easily overcome with a smart mouth and smarter behavior.

My hair didn't do big, but those shoulder pads on the suits... It was better when I moved back up here, so no more suits. Mini skirts, hard hats and steel toed construction boots! I was totally in my element! Lol.

Missed that one. She certainly does not have a ski jump nose. More of a beak with birds of prey eyeballs. Her pupils are super dilated and I wonder what she's on now to control her murdering arse.

I saw the video today of the ED doc's testimony. She did not fling herself out the window, but more of a less dramatic slide down the roof. I'll bet she was not counting on how severe her back injury would be with her superficial (MD's words) cuts to her throat and wrists.

I still think she did this because she hated her husband, as that's how many of these seem to go.

I do hope she does not wheel free. The jury should have been sequestered to prevent the filming by that Karen who fell into her son's grave (I did not read how).

Well, goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow. Fly high but not down your roof.

She lamely superficially cut her wrists and neck after murdering her 3 children, which did nothing as far as bleeding out; and decided to jump out a second floor window. Which I even know typically does not kill you unless you land on your head or neck on concrete. She somehow fx her thoracic vertebra and is paralyzed from the waist down.

I think she wanted to dive through the window but it was too small, looked like a bathroom window. This part she did not plan well nor research.

She was on her way to visit a sister in California. Never got there.. Didn't get officially hitched until 1980, though. And started a family. As it should be. Folks above talking about the 1980s, well, we were busy with the babies.

What a long, strange trip it's been!

I was a kid during the Cuban Missile Crisis. At school we were told that if there was an attack, we were told to sit under our desks. The Reagan era was wonderful by comparison. We can thank the republicans for the fall of the Soviet Union, which probably bothers commie actors.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 03, 2026 11:29 PM (hzuYO)

She needs to be locked up where she has no access whatsoever to children, ever. I cannot in good conscience wish she were in hell, but she needs to pay for premeditated murder, which is exactly what she did. Nobody can convince me she was crazy--crazy people are not able to plan all the angles and get away with that. And she showed no remorse after the act. She asked for a lawyer. Horrid. That kind of psychopathy is not fixable.

I liked the 80s. Rust Belt kid. Entered 1980 a 11 year old, left 1989 as a 20 year old E-2 in the USAF. Western PA wasn't exactly the cutting edge of culture but it was ok. Listened to WDVE out of Pittsburgh, cruised around a lot with friends who had way cooler cars. My Mom's barely functioning 1981 K-Car was, uh, adventurous. With a good tail wind, it might get over 60mph, then the engine shut off. Ah Chrysler, bless your heart.

We weren't married yet, but it was a frigging miracle it worked out in the end, and at the time it happened I was like meh, nice while it lasted, the show must go on. That's even the dumbest shit I did. I realized all the stupid shit I did were all lessons, and as long as I learned from them it wasn't for nothing. None of it was drug related, because I stayed clear of that. Just dumb decisions one after another. I still think about them, but its in the past. I can't change them, but I can sure as shit not repeat them.

If you knew the great blessings of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) you would run to it, really. Jesus comes to you. He forgives you if you are truly sorry for your sins.

304 The 80s...Reagan was good..but the music was well..shallow and brightly colored. Cars continued to shrink and get homely (but not as homely as now). I spent most of it listening to blues and 60s music. Didn't feel it again til grunge kicked in. I was pretty much appalled by the clothes..all that shiny preppy stuff. Best you can say about the decade IMHO is yeah, better than now. But I would rather live in 1966, and its not because of personal experience cause at that point I was 4 and kind of disconnected from the things of the day lol

I think the lone juror believes that there she is guilty, which includes the finding that there is no reasonable doubt that she was mentally competent to appreciate the wrongness of her acts at the time she committed them.

The subsequent suicide attempt, in my mind, is equivocal evidence (no evidence one way or another as to her mental state) as it can be taken as a sign of remorse as well as a sign of psychosis or some other severe mental state that could have existed when she planned and individually strangled each of those children.

Yes, that is what the judge told them today.

I have told you that every person is to be presumed innocent until they are proved guilty, and that the burden of proof is on the prosecutor. If you evaluate all of the evidence and you still have reasonable doubt remaining, the defendant is entitled to the benefit of that doubt and must be acquitted.

As I recall, the ultimate sin is despair [in God's mercy]. (That was Judas's sin.) So if she asks for God's mercy...

As I further recall, we are all sinners, and there's no sin that shuts you out of God's presence as long as you repent and ask for forgiveness -- I'm conflating mercy and forgiveness here, so beware. But as monumental as some sins are, there is no One Sin that precludes God's mercy.

This is all from long-ago memory, so beware beware beware.

Yeah, the 'opponent' Exodud mentions is for the primary. FWIW, here is Louise Secker's platform:

“Missourians deserve a state government that is watching out for them—not watching over them. We must keep government accountable to the people and work to make life in Missouri easier and more affordable; if any candidate has different goals than that, I’d say they are overstepping their Constitutional limits. The job of a state representative is to get government out of the way, so constituents can thrive. That’s my plan and promise to the people of Jasper County."

It had its origin in a tragedy, of course. A guy named Charles Meach got sent to Alaska Psychiatric Institute after beating a retarded supermarket bag boy to death. After a while the doctors decided he was better and started giving him unsupervised passes.

I think the effects of a Carrington event will be very unpredictable. Some installations will be hardened, and survive. Other will survive by being off-grid, or by the fortuitous chance of the grid wires supplying their power being oriented along the weak axis of the magnetic surge.

And we now watch the Sun. If a massive solar flare erupts, and is headed our way, we will have maybe a day or two of warning time, hours certainly. Time to unplug all our digital electronics, and hunker down. Could maybe even shut down the grid, and put grounds on the lines for a few hours.

There is good evidence for several solar storms much bigger than Carrington. One is dated to about 774-775 AD, and that sucker was likely 10x Carrington.

Huge spike in C-14 levels and some other isotope(s). That 775 AD event was the probably the biggest one in the Holocene.

The biggest one ever was around 14 kya, 14.3 I think is the best dating, and that sucker was even bigger than thought from some recent data.

And that date should sound familiar... A little before the dreaded Younger Dryas. And actually right around the Older Dryas.

They've got grid mitigation techniques now which they routinely use during the geomagnetic storms. Basically, when Erf's magnetic field gets to doing it's dance, large DC (on time scales relative to grid frequency) voltages are induced in long E-W wires strung along. Transformer cores don't like it, so they disconnect the grounded neutrals and put some "high pass" filters in that block the DC.

Of course, if that voltage gets too high....

There is a crazy theory, which actually makes sense. You know those crazy "stick figures" in some of those petroglyphs? Well, they have a remarkable similarity to some of the plasma discharge patterns (see "Z-pinch").

Almost a dead-on match in some cases. If there were some YUGE solar particle event and geomagnetic storm of the orders of magnitude range bigger than Carrington, the sky would be lit up with displays like that.

So, they think our ancient ancestors recorded those awesome and terrifying patterns in the sky.

Well, we'd get a dose of radiation, likely with no discernible effect. Some power lines and copper comms lines might get burned out by the powerful magnetic surges; all depending on the orientation of the line in question relative to the vector of the field. Small items, like laptops, cellphones, and appliances likely would be unaffected, since they are too small for the field gradient to develop much voltage across them. But stuff plugged into the wall could get zapped if a voltage surge gets passed along the grid. I had stuff zapped here when a power line got hit by lightning. But we will get a warning. Heed it, unplug until the surge has passed.

Good for checking for intake leaks too. You know what I miss though? The company that would change the parts washer fluid every month dropped off this thing for a free trial. It was maybe a 10-15 gallon steel drum with an agitator on top. The fluid was somewhere between that old school carb dunking shit and paint stripper. The agitator had a basket, and I would stick a harley head in it, hook up an air hose and it would just slowly agitate the head. In a hour it would come out like a new casting. No carbon, no paint, nothing. It was worth it when I was rebuilding heads a lot. We only send out cylinders to the machine shop, but I did all the valve and head rebuilding, so it made life easy. It was a pain in the ass to glass bead the carbon out of them, so this was living large. It was $100 a month years ago for that. They don't deal with it anymore.

Yep the biggest danger with the changing magnetic field is long E-W transmission line. Neutral to ground "high pass" filters handle a lot of that now. But if it were big enough, they'd just arc over and burn out. In that case, well, they'd have to take the grid down for the duration, and just ground out the transmission lines.

I wonder what would happen if you just disconnect the line from whatever termination it had at each end, and let it float? It might get standing waves on it, but would any current flow? I guess they could now run computer simulations to predict what might happen.

An ongoing astrophysical question is if the Sun can produce "superflares". Now, by superflare, I don't just mean a couple three orders of magnitude bigger than Carrington, such as that 14 kya event, I mean a flare that would make that 14 kya event look like a fart in a hurricane. If one of those hit earth, it would be a sterilizing event. Basically protons on the deck here at ground level.

There've been a few sun-like stars observed that do these from time to time. A few, but not many. And those few that do are very different from the Sun in some cases -- very fast spinners and some other things.

So the question is can we rule out that Sol could pull one of those. We can't, although they think it's highly unlikely.

You are a handy and resourceful person. Prowl yard sales and auctions, and flea markets. Buy one or two little generators, and make them work. You don't need a big expensive whole-house generator. A 3500 watt job will run your fridge and freezer, a couple of lights, and the furnace fan. Maybe run the fridge and freezer alternately. I have an ancient Coleman 3500 watt generator, and it has done yeoman service in several power outages due to storms.

I said sterilizing, but a superflare wouldn't really be. It would be sterilizing to *us*, basically, and a lot of surface life, but it would recover eventually. It would be total reset and what would emerge would be something very different, but life would survive.

The late Ordovician mass extinction event about 450 million years ago is a good candidate for a gamma ray burst, turns out. That's another big radiation event type of thing.

They haven't yet definitely identified just where and what that eruption was, but it's looking like there were three simultaneous big eruptions on the west coast of NA here, North CA, Pacific NW, and the Aleutians.

I'll be taking most of tomorrow off and then Labor Day too. I have some actual newsy posts for tomorrow for the first part of the day, then it'll be silly stuff.

It will probably be a slow news day as it usually is on a Friday before a weekend.

If there's big news, I'll pop in just to link it.

The Lindsay Clancy jury will probably announce it is deadlocked, or that they've made child-murder legal for women. I'll post that link the news breaks, unless it breaks so early that JJ covers it.

Otherwise, I'll be relaxing, though I'll be in the comments. So make me laugh.

"I'm not avoiding addressing anything. Everybody knows that Tucker Carlson and I are friends, and I think it's very obvious that Tucker has said somethings that I disagree with. He's said some things about POTUS that I think are just wrong... and I'm not going to play the game where I throw friends under the bus because I have political disagreements with them."

The reported explanation is that Fox learned Bartiromo had shared confidential editorial guidance from Fox Business executives with the Trump administration.

The guidance reportedly told staff not to lend credibility to claims that the 2020 election had been stolen. Her producer, Patrick Ignozzi, was reportedly dismissed as well.

Understood, but I think JD is trying to avoid being that guy who backs down to the mob. I'm sure it's a lesson he learned from Trump. He should have distanced himself quietly and discreetly when it became obvious that Tucker had gone off the reservation. As it is now, he has no good choices.

I admit, JD and Tucker are both in the public eye all the time and that makes what they say and do visible To everyone, but does that mean they hane to publicly hate on each other? It doesn’t mean JD agrees with any of the horseshit coming out of tuckers pie hole.

Perhaps he’s trying to be an example of, we don’t publicly destroy people we disagree with. Even those we vehemently disagree with.

Yes, some of the crap Tucker says is ludicrous and disgusting and offensive.

Or maybe Tucker has something on JD.

Liz had a little $30 quartz heater under her desk blowing on her legs, like a million secretaries in America do in the winter.

Probably pretty hard. Tucker has been a Vance supporter since he was a senator and lobbied with his pal Don Jr. for Vance to be VP.

Vance seems like a very loyal guy and I'm sure he knows what a bad spot Tucker has put him in. Easy for us to toss him under the bus where he belongs, probably a bit harder for Vance. I'm sure he'll get there at some point.

Modern women are basically reverting to paganism. I'm reading St. Augustine and it just leaps right off the page.

The cult of Cybele (the Great Mother) featured orgiastic festivals, self-castration and exposing infants or selling them was perfectly acceptable in ancient Rome. The pagan gods were real, and they're making a comeback.

Steadily improving - both of us. The coming of fall will be like a soothing balm as it is our favorite season and quite spectacular in Michigan. Plus college football season is starting and while some take a dim view, I live in a college town and love hearing the band practicing in the evening and the roar of the stadium on game day. I decided not to go to Alumni Band this year for obvious reasons, but I may bike over and say hi.

I find that's something of a cop out. Their actions are not random and if you look at things spiritually rather than seeking a secular ideological explanation, it's right there.

The pagan gods are fallen angels and they are still around, and they use the same temptations. Trying to overlay feminism or "cultural Marxism" (which is just retarded) gets you nowhere. They are pagans doing pagan things, and paganism was successful because it feeds human sin, and teaches that sin is good, and virtue is oppressive, just like the demons.

Roman parents had the power of life or death over their children and could legally kill them. So we're right back to the age of the Caesars.

Thank you. We believe she is free of cancer, and the chemo is described as mild and will only last a few weeks. We're basically hunting down the stragglers, making the rubble bounce. If she can't tolerate it, it will get dialed down or stopped. There's also a drug therapy that targets her specific cancer that is very mild that will go on longer.

Twinkie defense. In the 1979 trial of Dan White for the killings of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, the defense argued diminished capacity due to severe depression. One piece of supporting evidence was that White, previously a health-food advocate, had started eating large amounts of junk food (Twinkies, sodas, etc.)

How Is This Even a Question? Texas Establishment RINOs Debate Whether They Will Support Ken Paxton Over James "Jesus Has Six Gender" Talarico

"Lousy loser" John Cornyn refuses to campaign with Ken Paxton.

He's a real conservative you guys, he really wants to beat the Democrats.

Sen. John Cornyn slammed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as a "lazy" and "poor campaigner" Friday as he explained why he won't help the Republican Senate nominee in his race against Democrat James Talarico.
Cornyn, who lost to Paxton in the bitter Texas GOP Senate primary runoff election earlier this summer, explained in an interview with the Texas Tribune that while he wants to see Republicans hold their majority in the upper chamber after the midterms, he isn't going to fundraise for Paxton because he hasn't made a compelling case to Lone Star State voters.

"Paxton's a poor campaigner," Cornyn told the outlet. "He's lazy and doesn't raise money. And he basically is not offering a very compelling case for his election.
"He's making this harder than it needs to be."
...
"This is unfortunately shaping up to be a close and I hope not disastrous election," Cornyn said. "But it ain't looking good right now."

Byron York: What is the GOPe doing?

AS TALARICO GOES FROM BAD TO WORSE, GOP DEBATES SUPPORT FOR PAXTON. There's been a lot of commentary lately about the faults of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate for Senate. There are many such faults, and the impeached and scandal-ridden Paxton is widely recognized among GOP strategists as a poor candidate.
But take a moment to remember the utter terribleness of Paxton's opponent, Democratic nominee James Talarico. You've heard his greatest hits. His belief that there are six genders. That God is nonbinary. His "non-meat" campaign. His claim to be "a Christian who hates Christianity." And more.
Now, there's something else to consider. It comes from September 2020, when Talarico was running for the Texas legislature and took part in a Zoom forum run by the Sierra Club. He was asked what he would do to "fight for climate justice" for "communities of color" that "receive the most harm from the impacts of climate change."
"I'm so thankful that you asked this question, and also thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country," Talarico answered. "And I think only understanding the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we going to be able to begin the process of dismantling them."
...

Meanwhile, some Republican and conservative commentators have spent a good bit of time dumping on Paxton. National Review published a piece headlined, "Everyone is Edging Away from Ken Paxton," which said a "horrid smell" was "filling the room" in Texas -- the "stench of potential electoral doom" brought about by the Paxton campaign.
Conservative radio host Erick Erickson is on an anti-Paxton crusade, writing, "The only thing for which Paxton has ever shown prodigious energy is philandery and possibly corruption. He is a lazy candidate in a heated race, and laziness is not a flaw you can fundraise your way around."

Oh, he's repeating the lines from the GOPe op. What a surprise from this brain surgeon.

...
[Conservative radio host Steve] Deace argued that "uniparty" Republicans are the ones bashing Paxton right now, and they would be perfectly happy for him to lose and Talarico to win. (Deace called Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), defeated by Paxton in the GOP primary, a "uniparty stooge.") If true conservatives don't vote for Paxton, Deace said, they would give the "uniparty" Republicans "exactly what they want" while at the same time would "permit Democrats to inflict absolutely all their demoniac madness upon you without reservation." The bottom line, Deace argued, is that true conservatives should vote for Paxton to stop Democratic awfulness.

That was the message Cruz sent in his Tuesday appearance with Fox News's Laura Ingraham. "Some of the Republicans that are throwing rocks at Ken Paxton, my message to them is: Enough! Stop your b****ing," Cruz said. Citing previous years in which centrist Republicans urged conservative voters to support centrist nominees, Cruz continued, "My answer to everyone whining: Shut up and support the nominee, and don't hand Texas over to a communist lunatic."

No. There are more important issues, like Erick Erickson's capacity for grifting.

Byron York
@ByronYork

This was written the day of the Dobbs decision. One can understand opposing Dobbs. One can understand wanting to overturn it. But advocating for what would, in effect, be a Federal Abortion Service, staffed by a Federal Abortion Corps, seems...out there. But classic Talarico.

I'm sure his communist staff will tell you, if you ask for comment, that this "cringey language" "misses the mark" and that he believes in capitalism and Jesus.

So I wouldn't bother asking his communist staff.

Chris Loesch 𝕏
@ChrisLoesch

The NRSC and GOP telling Texas voters that they are stupid for choosing Paxton over Cornyn (we like our gun rights - go figure) and withholding any funding they would have normally put into the race is the establishment trying to rule over the plebes. Cornyn wasn't a "safe choice" for our rights. So if the rest of the nation wants to turn Texas blue then good luck ever getting another republican majority or president. Nice Texas is gone, so is the nation.
Thanks coastal elites!

Here's Steve Deace's take:

Steve Deace
@SteveDeaceShow
Here's some tough love. But it's why I make the better than average bucks.
Ken Paxton is one of the finest public servants in this country. His work as Texas AG would rank among the most impactful of any statewide elected official in this nation (DeSantis is in his own GOAT tier). He would be a tremendous upgrade at Senator not just for Texas, but the country. But he's also made a mess of his personal life, and the residual impact of that is costing him some support (including financially). So, again, anyone that tells you sexual ethics are strictly a private matter is dead wrong. An entire state/country may suffer consequences. Paxton's personal failing is giving people an objection they otherwise wouldn't have to an exemplary AG. The Biblical model always requires us to first accept responsibility for our own actions, and the role we played in our own situation.
However, given how little we know much of Washington DC's uniparty cares about marriage, family, and sexual ethics that alone doesn't come close to explain him (and thus the country) being hung out to dry in this crucial Texas Senate race. There's no moral high ground within the uniparty. Only vested interests. And uniparty Republicans would much prefer to be in the minority. Because in that case they can raise all kinds of money to ensure their positions off how bad the Democrats are, with no expectations to do anything about it.
Thus, you will not be punishing these Republicans by staying home but just yourself. You will be giving them exactly what they want, prestige with no responsibility, while you will permit Democrats to inflict absolutely all their demoniac madness upon you without reservation. Nothing new is coming. There is no alternative to the GOP possible within any time frame what's left of our way of life would survive. You won't teach anyone any lessons. Most of these Republicans would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the party to you, anyway.
And yes, this is a poopy position to be in. But it's the position we are in generationally, and our job is to do the best we can with the times that we have. The best we can do is slow down as much of this Democrat madness as possible, while also keeping Republicans in power to expose themselves in the hopes that creates more primaries where a Paxton can beat an exposed uniparty stooge like Cornyn.
Again, not a great spot. But it is the spot. Short of revival, it's all we have left. And it's still by far the best country in the world. So suck it up and occupy until He comes. This is the best we can do.

Fat shabby one-pair-o'-pants grifter Jonah Goldberg, who swiped the research for "his" book Liberal Fascism from writers at the Claremont Institute, accuses Steve Deace of being paid to say this.

Jonah Goldberg
@JonahDispatch
This is the kind of opinion that makes me assume someone is being compensated to offer it. Not saying that's the case. But I find it difficult to understand how a person could come by it honestly.

9 There are many such faults, and the impeached and scandal-ridden Paxton is widely recognized among GOP strategists as a poor candidate.

I'm guessing that this means Paxton does not funnel money to GOP strategists.

23 The only thing for which Paxton has ever shown prodigious energy is philandery and possibly corruption.

Well, and being elected Attorney General three times. And heading numerous lawsuits against the feds. But, other than doing his fucking job - something Cornyn couldn't accomplish, Paxton is just not the sort of people we'd invite to brunch in the Hamptons.

It's interesting to note the contrast between Texas and Michigan. In the 2022 cycle, the GOPe tried to purge Trumpism and it backfired in a bad way, and aided by Dem chicanery we got a staggeringly weak ticket that gave the Dems total control and they ran wild.

As a result of that experience, the Michigan GOP pulled itself together and the Establishment folks came to accept Trump as the way things are now. Mike Rogers is a bland centrist, but he knows what time it is.

Texas has not yet reached the point, and I'm sure the calculation is that blowing a Senate seat won't hurt Texas too badly.

Counterpoint: I saw polling today that Republicans say they are more likely to vote than Democrats, and candidates like Talerico and El-Sayed are driving this.

There is also the fact that a more conservative Senate free of Cornyn and Tillis WILL pass the SAVE Act. Same with the House. Massie will be gone, and a conservative will take his seat, so what we will have is a WORKING majority that can get stuff done.

Paxton has continued to trumpet his record against the Biden White House, frequently claiming an 80% win rate, which a Texas Tribune analysis found is overstated. A lawsuit’s lifecycle is complicated, and there are many ways to measure a win. By the most generous metrics, Texas got the outcome it wanted in about two-thirds of the cases it was involved in.

It's not gong to be close. The problem is paxton spent all of his $$$$ during the contested primary and he is playing catch up at this point. talerico is banking tons of money mostly from out of state and is outspending paxton by an order of magnitude.

For the last Dim womman with nasty dark roots above to say that about Jesus ticks me off to the point I want to hit her. Then watch her head spin around.

138 My take: The Uniparty bought Cornyn long, long ago and counted on him to do as he was told, in exchange for some money under the table each year. As deputy to Thune, he was a key cog in the Uniparty sausage making machine.

So, the Uniparty hates Paxton for two reasons.

1. Petty Revenge. He displaced a loyal bought-and-paid-for cog in the Uniparty sausage-making machine.

2. The main reason. The Uniparty is unsure Paxton will play ball on the Uniparty Team. Maybe they'll eventually be able to buy him. Maybe not. Cabals like the Uniparty intensely dislike and fear uncertainty of achieving the cabal's goals. The Uniparty is totally confident it can buy Talarico, and on the cheap.

Yep.

Despite everything conservatives websites are reporting about Talarico's freakishness he has been pretty focused on real issues. He's not like Beto, a white man pretending to be Hispanic and acting like the second coming of Obama. Strictly in terms of advertising Talarico is on point. And unlike Kamala's embarrassing ad campaign that we all loved to mock, Talarico's show a lot more confidence in their normality (if that makes sense).

Paxton is nowhere.

I'm not saying Talarico will win but I'm saying he has a real shot. Sad face.

152 I am a block walking machine. Local Republicans know I walked 2/3 of my precinct in 2 months during the 2024 primary.

(We are a one-party county, meaning the Republican nominee for county offices runs unopposed in November, so if you want to vote in a contested election for those seats you have to do it in the primary.)

So I kicked ass for my candidate during the 2024 GOP primary, and when I asked the local leaders when I could do the same for Paxton in the general, i.e., when could I get door hangers and yard signs for my precinct, I got shrugs. I reached out to the Paxton campaign, and all I got was requests for money.

I'm willing to do the work, but it's like nobody really wants me to.

Paxton is going to win my county no matter what, but if they want to win the state they need the biggest GOTV in the areas where the most Republicans live.

In 2018, Cruz got 52% turnout from my county. This year we have about 95k registered voters and about 81% of them supported Trump in '24.

GOTV happens when volunteers walk the streets. Ad buys don't cut it. Somebody in the Paxton campaign should pay attention.

If you don't want to win BIG, you don't really want to win.

I think they are reasonably sure he won't, or they'd not have opposed him so much. This latest kerfluffle is an example. Paxton would be much better served by finding a place as a loyal majorityite that join the rump.

158 My kingdom for an edit on this lovely blog.

I don't complain here, at least, of ads. I figured out the ad part when I tried to read here on my phone last week.

I rarely complain til I see that I misspelled something or wrote the opposite word, and then feel briefly annoyed for a nanosecond at myself.

Life goes on. Let's say I won't be sorry to see 2026 in my rear view mirror as May into June were worse and I somehow lived. I also know I have very little to complain about and life is very good.

I would make a potato voodoo doll of that Kansas Dim woman but I am too tired and only have sweet potatoes. It's not the same.

189 As a Texas resident, I will crawl over glass to vote for Paxton. The GOPe hates him but alot of the Republican Texas legislators who voted for his impeachment were also the ones that voted against school choice and Abbott sent them packing in the last 2 election cycles. He did an outstanding job as Texas AG. The issue is Talarico is running ads nonstop on youtube trying to make himself out as a normy and uninformed people (most voters) are falling for it. Paxton needs to start getting out ads on youtube, tiktok, and all other social media along with TV ads and such. Texas has a very low turnout for non presidential elections and the Texas GOP (along with the rest of the GOP) still hasn't figured out that turnout is all that matters.

Well, its a little easier to understand when we realize that the left makes zero stands about morality and normalcy. So when they go to sex clubs, have multiple lovers, get caught with a member of the "wrong" sex, none of it violates any of the things they pretend to stand for. But when one of *ours* does something like that, they asked for it--they're likely on record saying the very thing they were caught doing was wrong.

So when they go to sex clubs, have multiple lovers, get caught with a member of the "wrong" sex, none of it violates any of the things they pretend to stand for. But when one of *ours* does something like that, they asked for it--they're likely on record saying the very thing they were caught doing was wrong.

Not quite - the left, in theory, is opposed to Bill Clinton raping Broaddrick or Biden molesting his daughter. Obama being under a pile of random guys at Man's Country, well, I guess yes they are ok with that

237 Digging thru my old scrapbooks I found an article containing a brief bio of my Italian grandpa published in the Detroit News on Dec 8 1986. It starts:

"I came from Switzerland to Detroit on July 7 1926 with my father and two brothers. It was mandatory we all find a job and not rely on the government so I stayed on Ellis Island for three days until I found a friend to sign for me. My first job was in Detroit as a dishwasher at the Statler Hotel... I worked six days a week for $2 a day...."

A "nation of immigrants" yep. Immigrants who were not only required to immediately find work but HAVE A CITIZEN RESIDENT SIGN THAT THEIMMIGRANT HAD IMMEDIATE WORK.

Where are the true econservative pundits and pols to belt this with actual citations to law to shut down establishment RINOs and shitlibs?

Leftists who committed moral offenses, whom the DNC and Uniparty want to resurrect, can do an apology tour on the network morning and late-night shows and are back in business.

Conservatives who attempt such a resurrection are only successful if the Uniparty wants to regain their public services. If not, a morally-failed Republican's apology tour becomes a nightmare. The infotainment show hosts will only ask questions about why he did what he did and why anyone should believe he won't do it again. And introduce new accusations. No questions about how and why he learned from his failings and has become a better person.

NEW: The Maria Bartiromo backstory, per multiple sources familiar....

Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies... a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.

A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air.

Bartiromo took a screen shot of the guidance and sent it to senior White House officials.

Fox News leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the White House, which they viewed as a fireable offense.

Fox pulled Bartiromo from air after Aug. 9. She was fired today. I have also learned that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also fired after the annoucnement.

Maria had resigned her contract with Fox last February.

261 So, again, anyone that tells you sexual ethics are strictly a private matter is dead wrong. An entire state/country may suffer consequences. Paxton's personal failing is giving people an objection they otherwise wouldn't have to an exemplary AG. The Biblical model always requires us to first accept responsibility for our own actions, and the role we played in our own situation.

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

Why wasn't this standard applied to JFK or Clinton or any Democrat? It seems only Republicans must be subjected to this stricture.

When they tried the same thing with Trump in 2016 I commented that I don't want to marry him, I want him to go after our enemies which none of the other candidates in either side even mentioned.

The RINO establishment's entire existence relies upon them being able to invade a staunch red state, play the stupid squishy 'moderate' game, and ensure that the choice is always their RINO jerk or a Democrat. And they make sure to blacklist anybody dares even ATTEMPT to challenge one of the RINO princes.

Paxton upset that con, and he MUST be destroyed forever.

They tried to bury him in the primary with over $100 million and Cornyn still got slaughtered.

So now they are trying to ensure Paxton loses to 'prove' that they were wrong to get rid of their sacred RINO.

Tuq'r's Correlegionist Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Struggles, For Some Reason, to Win Over Jewish Voters;
Michigan's Jewish Demcrat AG Says Jews Must Put Aside Worries About Antisemitic Violence to Support Muslims Who Want to Kill Them

The Democrat Party is really hitting on all cylinders now.

Tucker Carlson's pick for the America First candidate for Michigan Senate says Jews should like him but Jews aren't so sure.

The New York Times is sad to admit this:

El-Sayed Wants to Mend Ties With Jewish Democrats, but Some Are Not Impressed
Lingering concerns about the Senate nominee in Michigan could make it harder for him to assemble a winning coalition.

What concerns specifically, NYT? Why are you being vague?

This is why Bari Weiss had to step in and change a headline to specifically say that Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed was deleting tweets about 9/11. The "Journalist" herself (I'm assuming a Karen) didn't want to alert the reader to what the tweets were about so Bari Weiss took the unethical step of informing the readers.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan, recently spent two days trying to mend fences with Jewish Democrats after an acrimonious primary against a pro-Israel opponent.
For some of them, it wasn't enough.
Specifically, Dr. El-Sayed sought to address remarks he had made shortly after an attack on a synagogue in the Detroit area in March that some interpreted as too sympathetic to the assailant.

WHAT WAS THE COMMENT?

If you told us, we could judge. But you're hiding it from us.

Why is that?

Oh, the comment was, of course, an excuse for the child-slayer: "Hurt people do hurt people." The Muslim was "hurt" -- his feelings, he meant -- so he shot a bunch of Jewish kids.

There's hurt on one side, there's hurt on the other. Let's not bicker and argue about 'oo killed 'oo.

But his apologies last weekend fell short with some Jewish Democrats in part because he seemed to be seeking forgiveness for the timing of his remark rather than its substance.
Dr. El-Sayed's criticism of Israel has concerned many Jewish Democrats. And some are angered by his association with Hasan Piker, a provocative streamer whose comments about Israel have drawn blowback from Democrats and Republicans.

What were those provocative comments, NYT?

The ones about America deserving 9/11? The framed photo of the burning towers behind him in his podcast office? The claim that Jews might have been involved in 9/11? The statement that Hamas' murder of babies was justified because murdering "settlers" is justified and "there are baby settlers" who therefore are justifiable targets for Muslim murder?

WHAT ARE THE COMMENTS?!

It's weird how every salient detail keeps not appearing in this article, which is supposedly about why Jews are rejecting Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.

It's almost as if the media exists not to report the truth but to hide it.

The frictions revealed the still-fresh wounds from a bitter primary struggle between Dr. El-Sayed and his pro-Israel opponent, Representative Haley Stevens.

Haley Stevens has now been identified twice as "pro-Israel" but Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has not been identified as "anti-Israel" or "pro-Islam" or "pro-Hamas" or "pro-Muslim Brotherhood."

Their race became a proxy war over the Democratic Party's divisions on Israel, which propelled numerous progressive candidates, including Dr. El-Sayed, to victory.

What divisions? Haley Stevens seems to have a position you identify, but Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has no position you can identity. How can there be "divisions" when only one side has an opinion and the other side is, we assume, just neutral on the matter?

The lingering tension is a hurdle for Dr. El-Sayed as he seeks to turn to his general-election opponent, former Representative Mike Rogers, a Republican. Uniting Democrats is proving difficult for Dr. El-Sayed, who won his primary by fewer than 18,000 votes. And he is battling on two fronts, as Mr. Rogers and other Republicans, including Vice President JD Vance, have begun to assail him over his position on Israel in an effort to peel off Jewish support.

We still have not heard about Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's "position" on Israel, but it is nice that we finally know he has one.

Meanwhile, even Van Jones is blasting Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's anti-Israel extremism, pointing out that the Muslim Brotherhood Manchurian Candidate wants to ban Israel from buying, with its own money, purely defensive arms like the Patriot missile.

Almost as if he wants Israeli civilians to be killed by Hamas and Iranian missiles.

But I know that from a Van Jones clip-- not from the NYT.

With just over two months left before the general election, the dissonance could threaten Dr. El-Sayed's efforts to assemble a winning coalition in a key Senate battleground race that will help determine control of the upper chamber.

What is the reason for the "dissonance"? Why are you so deliberately vague?

And now, after that deliberately falsified article, they admit they made some very minor technical errors in the first published version.

They do this so you believe, wrongly, that what remains is true and complete:

An earlier version of this article misspelled the given name of a Democrat who plans to vote for Republican Mike Rogers. She is Stacy Gittleman, not Stacey Gittleman.

I spotted a bunch of errors but I don't think you're serious about correcting them.

Meanwhile, Michigan's female Democrat Jewish AG Dana Nessel tells Jews to put concerns about their safety aside and just vote for the guy who wants them all dead.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's remarks on Sunday constitute a new low in contemporary political discourse.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, was being honored at a gathering of the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus on Sunday when Mv "We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival," she also reportedly said.

Did you just say that Jews must put aside their own survival to support the Democrats and Hamas' plans to exterminate all Jews in Israel??!!?

Say what?
Nessel's remarks were made in the context of the controversy over the vocally anti-Israel Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, whom many Jewish Democrats oppose -- and whom Nessel has not endorsed, at least not yet.

Oh, someone finally told me what Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's position on Israel is.

This is a Democrat who is still open to voting for Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. Of course.

...
And now, a Jewish Democratic politician -- a state attorney general, no less -- is telling her Jewish constituents that they should be prepared to sacrifice their safety and their survival for some sort of "common good"?
In her speech, again according to the Jewish Insider report, Nessel suggested emulating the biblical Queen Esther to "sacrifice the comfort, safety and security and even the very future of our own people in exchange for the opportunity to save the rest of humanity." Except, of course, it would appear that Nessel did not pay attention in her religious school classes at West Bloomfield's Temple Kol Ami, since Esther did no such thing. What Esther did was risk the displeasure of her husband King Ahasuerus (the Persian king Xerxes I) and possibly her own life in order to ensure the survival of her people -- that is, the Jewish People. Nessel's analogy is, to be kind, entirely off base.
So is her curious attempt to link support for Israel with environmental causes. "What good is defending the historic homeland of our ancestors and demanding that candidates acknowledge its right to exist," she asked, "if the planet upon which it rests is no longer inhabitable?" This is a non-sequitur to end all non sequiturs, and it makes no sense in the present-day political climate.
Is Nessel suggesting that we should ever turn a blind eye to any threats to Jewish safety?

Yes she is. How are you not getting this? Are you stupid?

Palistinians are in the same boat. Israel is made up of human beings, they have done bad in the past, I am sure of it.

70 I'll tell you El-Sayed's biggest mistake to date. When it came out that he professed to believe and applies Sharia Law, a giant red flag went up in the Jewish community.

The Jewish voter (and voter is important) is Secular. It's one of the reasons a significant number stay away from the Republican party. They perceive the influence of religious groups such as Evangelists and Protestants as leaning towards non=secluar.

And when I say the Jewish voter is secular it only applies to other religions; Not theirs. In the past, the Democrats had re-inforced their non-religious position(s). Muslims running for office counter that 180 degrees.

Any possible just complaint that they may have had is just buried under the horrific behavior they engage in.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 03, 2026 05:38 PM (K32Fz)

The response came before Israel could do anything. When England pulled out of the partitioned area, each had about half. Egypt, Jordan, Syria at least invaded to try and eradicate the Jewish parts. They lost most of the battles and were ejected from most of the land - aside from Gaza and parts of the West Bank. Jordan and Egypt kept those.

Posted by: torabora at September 03, 2026 05:51 PM (Wt1Rs)

Correction Jews vote about 4 to 1 for Democrats. Their vote is concentrated in blue states, so they are not a pivotal voting bloc in most elections. Jews are much more important in terms of fundraising than voting for both parties.

Nessel, who is a public drunk and reminds one of Lindsay Clancey in her warmth and charm, is vile, but she's not stupid. A lot more Jewish Democrats believe in global warming than Judaism. None of her audience want an icky Republican to win, so the appeal to save the planet gives them cover to vote for team blue no matter who.

152 The US didn't approve the treaty. And It may have been no harsher than prior treaties but the European victors didn't compromise the terms years later even temporarily when the treaty became overly punitive because of changes in the world. This set the environment stage for Hitler and WW2.

It was ludicrously harsh. Usually wars ended with a transfer of land, possibly an indemnity, but Versailles not only cut up Germany and levied crushing indemnities, it allowed France to steal its coal, forced massive in-kind tribute, and perpetual disarmament AND banned German military forces from portions of their own nation.

If you're going to impose that, you better be ready to enforce it because it was going to be challenged, and it was. And then the Allies wimped out, and that gave Hitler his big boost.

The terms helped bring on the depression, though. Reparations are fine when you're an Enlightenment Monarchy getting a few boxes of gold bars for the treasury, but in modern banking it created all sorts of economic distortions and destroyed the mark, which radicalized the middle class.

The US saw how stupid it was and pulled out of the Rhineland early. So yes, it was dumb because enforcement was expensive and a waste of time and since anyone with a brain knew that at some point the garrisons were going to leave, pissing off the Germans to the nth degree was suicidal.

That was the problem. The Germans had urged them to act shortly after the assassination and present the powers with a fait accompli. But AH fucked around for a month, partially because a good chunk of the army had been given leave to take in the harvest. But mostly because the Hungarian minister had to be brought around to war.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: 11 to One In Favor of ... Full Acquittal, With a Single Juror Hanging on For a Conviction?

I don't understand what's going on.

It's the defense attorney who says he wants the juror excluded for refusing to follow the judge's orders about what "reasonable doubt" means.

So... does this mean that 11 jurors are voting to acquit and one lone juror is insisting on a conviction? And the other jurors are claiming that the juror is inserting a "more likely than not" standard over the more stringent "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard?

And how could you even say that this is just a matter of feeling that the prosecution is slightly more persuasive than the defense? Were they all absent the day they presented evidence?

The defense lawyer claims this juror keeps "ignoring the law" and will not accept the judge's rules as to the threshold of evidence required to convict.

This is 11 to one for acquittal, and women are officially allowed to commit murder if they have the grumpies.

🚨 BREAKING: The Lindsay Clancy m*rder defense attorney just DEMANDED that ONE HOLDOUT JUROR be REMOVED from the jury, accusing that juror of not listening to "reasonable doubt" instructions
HOLD THE LINE!!
The attorney worries there will be a mistrial, meaning it would GO AGAIN to try and convict her
"There's one juror who refuses to listen to the law that you've given him or her on reasonable doubt...if we come back here in a half an hour with a mistrial because of a juror that has just spurned the instructions of this court, it's a shame, it's a real shame!"

Let me know if you think I'm right.

Bro... they are 1 holdout away from acquittal. Holy shit! The defense wants the juror removed. We have one patriot on the jury saving this from a successful insanity plea. pic.twitter.com/y57iCcutaB

As I understand it, the jury foreman wrote a note to the judge stating that it was one member of the jury who refuses to follow the law.

Then the defense attorney admitted in open court that it was one juror, and that they should be removed.

It seems to me that that assessment of reasonable doubt is a personal one, and I am not wholly convinced that such claims are not merely opportunistic fakery to avoid prison myself.

I don't know why you would then instruct such a juror that it is not about removing ALL possible doubt, unless that is merely defense attorney puffery.

Insanity as a legal term means the person was so incapacitated by mental illness that they did not know the difference between right or wrong while committing the crime.

87 And all the supposedly rational men (mostly on Insty) who were setting their hair on fire and encouraging each other to practice self-defense by assuming that all women are out to kill everyone they can get their hands on and therefore men should enslave them for everyone's safety can STFU and STFD.

I agree that a lot of men have kinda gone overboard, and are no longer joking about repealing the 19th but most of were really caught off guard by the overwhelming insanity of ordinary women regarding this case. And its not just the fringes. Tik Tok Brain has really rotted a lot of women's minds. Even ShoeOnHead was losing her stuff over the reactions.

It it even a large minority of women? No. But its WAY TOO FREAKING MANY.

Its like women finding out that it seems like 7 out of 10 men on social media think that if a guy gets really lonely then rape isn't all that bad and we should have sympathy for that lonely, horny guy and besides she probably raped herself anyway.

139 I heard Andrew Branca talk a bit about why Massachusetts is a bit of an outlier legally that may help Lindsay Clancy get away with this. Apparently a bunch of attorneys and judges write draft laws (model penal code) for states to consider and adopt, and their draft standard for insanity defense is very permissive and Lefty, and Massachusetts is one of the only states to adopt it.

The burden is on the prosecution to prove the defendant was legally competent (unlike most states where the defense must prove insanity to the jury) and:
A defendant is not criminally responsible if, at the time of the offense, they had a mental disease or defect and, as a result, lacked substantial capacity either:
to appreciate the criminality (or wrongfulness) of their conduct, or
to conform their conduct to the requirements of the law.

As I understand it, there's basically a dial to the machine, different levels of fraud for whether risk exposure makes the operatives feel a rush or just dread.

Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at September 03, 2026 04:24 PM (bOXl3)

160 Yes, there is a lot of evidence she planned it all and that she probably intended to kill herself but bungled it.

Uh...as a nurse, she would be well aware of how to kill herself. Cutting her wrists with shallow cuts across, a shallow neck cut, and jumping out a second story window aren't fatal...they were part of her plan to build a defense through insanity. The only part that went wrong was the fall paralyzing her.

Good question. Intent?

My psychotic friend says things that aren't true all the time. But I can't call her a liar, because she firmly, sincerely believes they are true. I don't know what to call her except out of touch with reality.

The best book I read on the subject was The Best Minds by Jonathan Rosen. His effing brilliant childhood friend had a schizophrenic break as a young man and stabbed his pregnant fiance to death, thinking she was a malignant wind-up doll. The friend has been confined since then and occasionally wonders where the dead woman is -- Paris?

They also say this with liberal men caught breaking the law. When Kevin Clinesmith was discovered to have forged and altered documents and submitted these forgeries to a court, they suspended his license for a year. Then, when he came up for his criminal trial, the judge said "Hasn't he been punished enough by losing his license?" and set him free, not a day in jail.

And then, a few months later, he had his law license back.

Hasn't he been punished enough?

This is the end-result of legalizing abortion. Abortion devalues human life. The pro-aborts are happy at the thought of killing a baby at the moment of crowning in the birth canal. Now we have the advocates of the murder of toddlers if mommy has the sads.

Sometimes, I watch the Abolitionists Rising videos on the Tube of Ewes. The slavering fury of the pro-aborts is shocking to see.

Abortion has to be made illegal again and the practitioners sent to prison.

Clancy has also caused some that are over 29 to remember when SIDS was an epidemic in the 80s and when it was investigated more closely it just went away as an issue. Very similarly to how monkeypox went away when people started asking how infants and dogs were getting it.

Maria Bartiromo left FOX.

Fox News Media announced Thursday that Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo will be departing the network, effective immediately.

“We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 1/2 years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” the network said in a statement.

Her last Fox Business show, “Mornings with Maria,” was on Sept. 3. The show will transition to a new program, “Mornings with FOX Business,” with rotating hosts, the company said.

Edgerton, Kansas

The city of Edgerton, Kansas, is suing residents who organized a citizen petition to ban high-impact data centers.

The Johnson County Election Office reportedly verified that they had collected more than twice the required number of signatures.

Instead of putting the measure to a vote, the city filed suit against the organizers, including Carrie Schmidt, Kimberly Twente, and the nonprofit Public Trust Collective. The city argues that the petition is legally and factually defective and is asking the court to invalidate it.

Just to let you know - I don't think you're right. I think Big Pharma and its incompetent minions are getting the same pass that's been given the Big Pharma Jab-makers, and Dr. Fauci's Deep State choir.

Clancy was on the road to recovery when Tufts (and a couple others) started jamming her full of SSRIs and everything else she could think of. Is Clancy an angel? Is she heroic? No; the case is a tragedy beyond Shakespearean proportions. There's enough responsibility to go around several times. But I disagree she is lawfully guilty of murder.

Its like the videos of women pretending to drop their chidren off ledges and balconies for tik tok, or the women cracking eggs off the head of their toddler watching them bake. "Hee hee kids can be so frustrating an they take away ME time!"

This from the nurturing, family-building mommy just seems so horrifying and against everything reality is built upon. Its like finding out your little kid is a Deep One or something. That's just not how anything is supposed to work. The angles are all wrong.

Many parents accidentally kill their kids...running them over with their car in the driveway, leaving them in the car, failing to watch them as they get in the family pool and drown...

We don't charge them for murder b/c they didn't have the mental intent to kill their kids. Sometimes, we don't charge them at all.

But we see the tragedy of the kids' pointless death...

Because she was so mentally disturbed she didn't think of that.

A jury of your peers? When the general jury pool is half-female and recent studies find a considerable number of women now suffer from one or more mental problems, how can a fair and impartial jury be seated for women accused of crimes, whose defense plays the feeelz card? We're doomed.

Yeah I am sure we do not have the full story but from what I have read, the husband did everything imaginable to make her feel more comfortable, happy, and loved. He figured out how to spend money so she could quit her job, even.

388 Did the defense say whether Clancy thought her kids were demon possessed or otherwise deserving in her mind to be killed?

That at least would be a possible reasonable doubt whether she knew right from wrong. If she had a reason why killing them was justified in her mind.

389 Her defense attorney is widely regarded as a elite trial lawyer—among less than 1% of attorneys in North America named to the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers.

The defense team presented medical experts stating she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis and was compelled by auditory hallucinations. (Of course THAT COMMUNITY doesn't want to be indicted via the trial.)

On Monday morning, lawyer Reddington publicly discussed comments made by Nancy Grace over the weekend.

He requested that a specific juror be removed, claiming they refused to follow the law regarding reasonable doubt. Judge William Sullivan denied this request and ordered the full 12-person jury to continue deliberating.

Reportedly, (CNN) when Reddington was asked by reporters how he felt about a potential retrial, confidently responded, “Bring it.”

Bet those jurors are known.

NHS UK: The most severe symptoms of Postpartum psychosis tend to last 2 to 12 weeks. It can take 6 to 12 months or more to recover completely from the condition.

Lindsay Clancy looks deranged.

She suffered a Jefferson burst fracture when she fell to the ground; most people can successfully recuperate.

390 I hadn't realized how successful this defense approach has been over the years. These are just two high profile cases where the guilty verdict was overturned. You have to wonder how many of these took place....and how it will effect other cases both past and present.

Andrea Yates (2001): A Texas mother who drowned her five children was initially convicted of capital murder. That conviction was later overturned on appeal, and a second jury found her not guilty by reason of insanity

.Sheryl Lynn Massip (1987): A California jury convicted a mother of second-degree murder after she claimed postpartum psychosis, though the judge later set the verdict aside and she was ultimately found insane

So, in the Catholic Church, a sin may be mortal or it may be venial, but it is still a sin.

For a sin to be mortal, it must be a serious matter (not a trivial one), you must have full consent of your will (not coerced, or crazy), and you must know it is a sin in the first place.

Otherwise, it may be venial, which is not cause for exclusion from the Beatific Vision.

That's why most suicides now get a Catholic funeral and burial, because one needs to be crazy to commit the act itself. Not all, but most.

That also does not mean one is exempt from criminal punishment for actions. Often the granting of absolution is tied to turning yourself into the cops and taking your civil punishment. No murderer would be absolved without facing the civil music.

Carl Benjamin when talking about the Clancy Cult women brought up a story from Plutarch and the Ancient Greece city of Miletus around 272 B.C.

A young maiden committed suicide by hanging and it became a social trend for the young women of the city to hang themselves (because of all the attention they received).

It went on for awhile and nobody could find a way to stop the girls until a city ordinance was passed that from hence forward any woman who committed suicide would have her naked body carried through the marketplace with the rope still around her neck and then her body would be hung to rot for all to see.

The suicide spree ended immediately.

Jury intimidation by the crazy woman yesterday taking photos should have been reason enough for a mistrial. Plus the two? female jurors who wore pink proudly to unite with the crazy women outside.

Fair trial my fat arse.

Is it a common thing for a defense attorney to ask for the removal of a juror because they disagree with the defense?

This "mother," at the very least, should be locked up in a mental hospital for the rest of her life. And I hope sees the sweet faces of her own children she snuffed out every time she closes her eyes.

Her "suicide" was faked. Then to find out her mother or MIL helped daily, plus a nanny, plus the older two kids in daycare/preschool...well, that slanted me further away from her postpartum psychosis when the baby was 8mo old. She had plenty of help vs normal mothers. Plenty of time to rest for those 8mo.

She's intelligent enough to fake whatever answers she gave.

I read the first things she said to her husband, as she lay on the ground, were if her legs were straight. Not of her children she just killed.

In ICU one of her first comments was to ask if she had an attorney. Not grief. Thinking of #1.

460 I read the first things she said to her husband, as she lay on the ground, were if her legs were straight. Not of her children she just killed.

In ICU one of her first comments was to ask if she had an attorney. Not grief. Thinking of #1.

Lindsay- I needed to think of the family, and put them first.

Husband- but you only asked about yourself

Lindsay- my kids are dead and you're divorcing me! I am my family!

466 just that 1 is refusing to follow judge's instructions on what reasonable doubt is.

Could it also be they are willing to convict on the lesser charges but not the big one?
Posted by: Lex

Yeah, if it's just "refusing to follow instructions on what reasonable doubt is" is could just as easily be 11 in favor of conviction and one with an astrology chart.

468 "Did you know in the United States after Lindsay Clancy there has been 7 more?"

No, it's 29 more, as of today. Was 27 two days ago. I didn't save the list but it was floating around.

Remains to be seen if this causes a social earthquake bigger than Kirk getting shot, or not. I'd say about 50% of my broader social circle (of which there are basically zero moonbats; those are banished to "people I know professionally, or family we don't talk to" at best) are currently permanently ejecting at least one woman out of their lives on account of this trial.

Between this and the Kirk assasination, virtually all of them have gone zero tolerance for lefties and various types of crazies. No communication, no socializing, no aid, 100% cut off. Maybe give them a second chance if they come back years later admitting they were batshit.

471 In Massachusetts, they probably found 11 jurors who believe that it isn't beyond a reasonable doubt that the "real" killer of Nicole Simpson killed the Clancy kids.

Posted by: janmarch at September 03, 2026 05:16 PM (7iM56)

472 She needs to be locked away forever.

But what does that say about the medical community, even the hospital that employed her? She had been an unstable mess for quite a while prior to killing the three children.

She's really no better than the mom who recently shot her young son in the face, again to punish the father.

If Clancy is locked away for killing the children, does that "say" anything about women who have multiple abortions, and late term abortions - and the providers?

Free, Clancy could become a heroine to unstable mothers, unstable women everywhere. She could also be someone to drag out for "women's healthcare" and even the 2028 presidential campaign.

Prepare for another trial rather than let her walk free.

And while I'm certainly not a lawyer, the prosecutors need to toughen up and "say those children's names" constantly. Show pictures of them alive as often as possible. Talk about pre-school if Cora and/or the oldest son attended. Have family, pre-school teachers talk about the children.

Do as the street learned to do, make them the victims and make them real.

475 After the massacre at Nova festival Oct 7th, we saw leftists swan dive into full-on support of terrorism because admitting it was an atrocity would mean saying killing jews was bad. Prior to that, there was always a little pretend fig-leaf used "Of course I don't want the jews wiped out, I just want FAIRNESS for the Palestinians!" Oct 7th showed that, yeah, when given the choice, they would indeed choose wiping out all the jews, not just watching and saying nothing, but actual full on support of the massacre.

What we are seeing now is the same mental process for killing babies. Leftists never truly beleived their semantic gymnastics about "unviable fetus" or "just an embryo" or "clump of cells". In their minds, abortion was about "killing human babies" all along. There is no separation between unborn baby and born baby or even toddler. It's always been about a deep resentment towards the existance of children in general.

Children are the ultimate "my actions have consequences" for leftists, and since the democratic party's underlying ethos is "you can, and SHOULD have a consquence-free life!", they will fight to the death to justify these murders.

And therein lies the problem.

I do think she was nuts. I think she did it. I think the failures that led to the tragedy include incredibly negligent medical care and, frankly, a highly irresponsible husband. That says nothing about whether she should be convicted or in jail. But if you actually cared about stopping this in the future, you would focus on the *sane* people who could have intervened and chose not to.

This is like the guy who stabbed Iryna Zarutska. Is he nuts? Yes, although I don't care about that for punishment. But the failures of the DAs and judges will make a thousand more Iryna Zarutskas, and fixing that problem is at least as important as convicting Decarlos Brown.

The problem, though, is that right-leaning men hate left-leaning women so much that they end up not caring at all about the actual dead children or grossly misdiagnosed mother. They just want to screw over the AWFLs - not actually fix even a part of the problem.

478 1 in 20 children with a mother with postpartum psychosis is murdered. (Same rate as mothers with PPP who commit suicide.)

Just to note - 1:1000 women is diagnosed with PPP. It's not incredibly common, but it is very serious when it occurs.

479 After the massacre at Nova festival Oct 7th...

but for what it's worth, I - for one - will never stop remembering and caring about that terrible day, and all the dead and the captives - both alive and dead - and believing in the IDF.

They were made real - their names, their stories, their families, the brutality and torture and the grief. And the fact that it went on and on for so long, and that some women and their children also participated. Monsters, all.

486 If this woman wheels free of any charges, it's all Big Pharma's fault (I am totally unsure if she cooperated and took the meds. As a RN she should know compliance and at least 2wks to see improvement), but that's what the wimmen's say.

Her eyes were dead before her children were. Look at any photo of her smiling. Eyes are the window to the soul and hers are dead. Her smile does not meet her eyes.

I read that some blame the father somehow. For getting her pregnant the third time...um, she helped?

Regardless if she gets off free from this, she should be given a tubal ligation so she's never able to conceive again. She should also only be around any children without supervision.

Those poor children. When so many couples who cannot have babies, she kills hers one by one.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 03, 2026 06:06 PM (hzuYO)

487 Well, let's say she gets aquitted. That means that she is found not guilty by reason of insanity, correct?

Which means she doesn't go free. She is confined/locked up in a mental hospital, correct?

As I understand it, no one*, including her, or her defense attorney is saying she litterally didn't do it. They all admit she did it, but she was crazy from post birth psychosis.

*Yes, some crazy women are making the claim outide the court and on Tik-Tock that her husband did it, but those are crazies who aren't actually involed in the case.

Posted by: EFG at September 03, 2026 06:14 PM (a7fLE)

488 There no way to know which direction the 11-1 is. The defense counsel's actions shouldn't guide your thinking, because defense counsel often do things for reasons other than the obvious (preserving an issue for appeal, attempting to manipulate public opinion, etc.).

I was a criminal trial practitioner (prosecution, defense, and trial judge) for 15 years, and in 100% of the cases I tried where there was an issue with a juror following the reasonable doubt instruction, it was always a juror holding out for acquittal despite overwhelming evidence of guilt. Things like, "I know his face is clear on video showing him committing the crime, but how do I know that video wasn't edited".

The only time you would ever see it go the other way is if there was very weak evidence and a juror was still holding out for a conviction, but that's not the state of the evidence in this case.

It's far more likely that a juror is wrongly attempting to hold the prosecution to a "beyond all doubt" standard.

Posted by: Jed at September 03, 2026 06:26 PM (sAPai)

489 I wonder how much does social media (women snotting on camera and moaning about injustice), drugs, alcohol and other modern "gifts" contribute to killing your own children vs hormones? Or drugs that I don't know if Clancy took while prescribed. She seemed to do her own thing in her quest for misery and murder. Given a lot and nothing changed her ideation.

As in all murders before suicide I have to wonder why they can't just off themselves and leave innocents alone. This is demonic behavior vs a simple suicide.

I found this about intentional and homicide of children in the 1900's:"... historical criminological data show that children were far more likely to die from unsanitary living conditions, lack of medical care, or accidents than intentional criminal homicide."

No social media. Women too busy to mope around? Impoverished and happy to see half of the children they birth make it to adults with all the diseases?

I thought of Dolly Parton's parents. A two room cabin with 11kids, one after another. If anyone deserved post partum depression it would be women like this. Why were they not killing their kids, I wonder. This was the norm.

This is a modern phenomenon.
