Historical greatness

Today in 1973, the greatest horse race in history was run.

Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths to become the Triple Crown winner and set a world record time that has never been beaten!

Such an amazing athlete was Secretariat. He has a prominent place in my bourbon collection, as well. A bottle that I will likely never open.

Florida man vs gator

Man Sues Airboat Company After Alligator Bit Him In The Face

A South Florida man has filed a lawsuit against a Central Florida airboat tour company after an alligator bit him in the face during an attraction last summer, according to court records.
The lawsuit states that Edil Kasenov visited Airboat Rides at Midway in Christmas, Florida, in June 2025 and participated in the company’s free “Alligator Encounter” experience.
***
Court documents state that the alligator bit him while he was participating in the attraction. The lawsuit further argues that the business failed to maintain a reasonably safe environment for guests.
As a result of the incident, Kasenov is seeking more than $50,000 in damages. The case remains pending.

The math isn't mathing on this one

‘Teenagers’ didn’t exist until the 20th century

For most of human history, you were either a child or an adult. The word “teenager” first entered the lexicon in 1913, appropriately enough, but it wasn’t until decades later that it took on its current significance. The ages spanning 13 to 19 are formative no matter what you call them, but three developments in the mid-20th century had a major influence on the creation of the modern teenager.
The first was the move toward compulsory education, which got adolescents out of farms and factories and into high school, where they spent more time among their peers. The second was the economic boom that followed World War II, which created a new, highly sought-after demographic for companies and advertisers. And the third was the widespread adoption of cars among American families, which afforded 16-year-olds unprecedented independence.
Because one generation criticizing — and, to a certain extent, fearing — the next is a tale as old as time, not everyone was thrilled about this. In 1953, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI published a report warning that “the nation can expect an appalling increase in the number of crimes that will be committed by teenagers in the years ahead.”

Maybe if 1) he had gotten the dirt all the way off, and 2) the power washer doesn't make your hands numb.

We had to do this on Guam on the sidewalks for which we were responsible in base housing. The concrete would turn black with the coral mold. And, you would end up being unable to feel your arms from the elbow down when you were done, because of the vibration of the power washer (communicated through the hose), and force of the water through the wand into your hands.

27 r/blackmen

America where a 14 year old boy can be chased 100 yards and shot in the back and the shooter can claim self defense.. because hes black
But another teenage boy can be jumped by three white kids much bigger than him, defend himself but be accused of murder.. because hes black.

this case will be appealed and he has a good chance of getting charges reduced due to how the case was handled and politicized.

I feel no sympathy for Austin Metcaff. May this be a lesson to all future Austins/bullies that you just might die and meet Satan for your actions.

Where’s Clyburn and all the congressional black caucus when shit like this happens? They’ll be in our ear telling us to vote in November and stay silent about this and Rick chow. Cowards.

its shocking one white kid can cross state lines with a rifle, shoot someone and be found not guilty but pulling a knife in a physical altercation makes this kid a cold blooded murderer who deserves no mercy.

this is a good use for ai and really can cut through human to human bs. A few days ago I plugged all the information into Gemini and it said the charge should be manslaughter not 1st degree.

84 In my yout', I smoked a bit of weed, but I was never into pills and powders.

I was visiting a friend who offered me a downer, which - since I wasn't going anywhere - I took; the one and only time I ever did a downer.

And he turned on the teevee to a horse race. The most amazing horse race in history. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. In distorted subjective time, that horse just kept pulling further and further ahead. Like it had superpowers. I thought I must be hallucinating. Nope. It was real.

Unforgettable.

Thanks to Doof for tonight's ONT. It was great meeting you at the 2024 NoVa MoMe.

The bit about teenagers leads to a question: when did recreations of the past becomes a thing? I'm thinking of Civil War Reenactments, Rennaisance Faires and so on. I suspect most people were too busy surviving to treat the past this way, but I dunno. Usually the past is something you want to get away from, not recreate.

I'm guessing modern media and media preservation might be the culprit. But then, I'm stupid so who knows what might be what.

Was a motive ever disclosed? Gang initiation? Whitey owed him money? Just a scumbag looking to fight?
Posted by: Robert at June 09, 2026 10:20 PM (lIDmF)

I believe it was the last one - Aggressive scumbag combative in-your-space-whitey black guy went into the rival track (track fer chrissakes) team tent to try and see if someone would start something that he was going to finish. Brought a knife and was planning to use it. Young white track star who had been left in charge by teacher/coach asked him to leave because he was: a) not supposed to be there; and, b) was acting completely and intentionally confrontational, when he didn't things started to escalate with the white guy pushing Anthony. Anthony, who had had his hand in his bag, on the handle of his knife the whole time, took out his blade and ended this young man's life. Leftists are actually arguing that Anthony, was somehow entitled to plunge a knife into this young, innocent, and reasonably acting white kid, because he was being a "bully," on this one occasion only, mind you. Think about the leftarded nature of this thought pattern

Dad Tonypete discovered some ancient blasting caps in a hidden nook of Grampa's barn and liberated them for fun. They were from the mercury fulminate era and has started to corrode. So, Dad and kids made a small pile of them in one of the fields where the steers weren't and shot at them with a .22 until the Earth Shattering BOOM!!! occurred.

First thing I said to the kids was 'Don't tell Mom what happened!' Well, tried to tell them - our ears were ringing for an hour or so and no one heard anything.

The following day Grampa and I loaded up the remainder in the car and delivered them to the local cop shop. They panicked of course and mobilized the bomb squad to dispose of.

I think that's the reason Collins flipped on the SAVE Act today-- she knows she needs MAGA in her anti-Platner coalition, & that we don't like her.

Leaving Platner aside for a moment, Collins is a MOST unattractive candidate, & Platner might be the only one who can get her reelected.

And I did say "might." She's so weak, she still could lose.

The difference is that the "someone" Rittenhouse shot was shooting at HIM.

If "someone" had been shooting at Karmelo, he might've been acquitted too.

"Rittdenhouse killed someone" = "some people did something" (Rep Omar referencing 9/11)
Posted by: mnw at June 09, 2026 10:17 PM (RCjYY)

If Ibrecall correctly, Kyle had a confrontation, from which he ran away. One of those guys had a pistol and shot in the air while another guy (the convicted pedo) gave chase. Rittenhouse shot him, then ran some more, skateboard dude smacked him on the head and received a lead reward, another guy tried to smack him , who Kyle shot at, with unknow results as that one never contacted authorities and was never identified, then the final.dude showed up with a gun, but Rittenhous shot first and turned his arm.into hamburger. So, nobody actually shot at Rittenhous, though one of the four people he shot at was prepar___ to.

Big dofference is thst all Rittenhouse's assailantsactually wanted to do him harm, while, from what I understsnd of things, Austin Metcalf was merely trying to get Anthony to leave an area he was not authorized to be, with no indication he was trying to hurt him.

186 I saw a new coordinated hot take on Raman posting a ridiculous number of votes in the mail in dumps.

See, Raman voters intentionally held their ballots to see how the election would play out before deciding how to vote.

Now...there are several problems with this theory, first, it is much easier to believe that some individual, not thousands of independent voters would make a coordinated decision, but more importantly Raman voters wouldn't know that it was "safe" to vote for her if they didn't see the results before voting and supposedly all those ballots being counted were cast before election day

292 What a person does when they are not being watched is a good test of character. The trick is that is not always easy to know.

When it comes to Platner knowing what he has been up to when isn't being watched is not a problem. The answer is he failed the character tests repeatedly and in rather spectacular ways.

His response has been to do a lousy Jimmy Swaggart "I have sinned" imitation. His sudden calls for us to grant him grace and to accept without a shred of evidence that he is a changed man, days before a make or break election, reeks of him throwing everything against the wall, so to speak, until he comes up with something that gets him out of the jam he created not over a couple days but over but years of rotten behavior.

With that in mind, one can look at who he is in terms of governance. Here too he comes up short. He has a gift of phrasing and delivery when tossing around a few trite platitudes; the sum of this is an illusion of substance. The reality is he is a volatile jackass with a mediocre record of success. Join that to his gossamer notions about governance and you end up a train wreck Senator.

Neither of my grandfathers had high-school educations, because they had to quit school after "grade school" to work full-time. Such was life back then. Of course, that probably left them better-educated than most kids with B.A. degrees today.

Why do we see so many memes regarding Gen-Xers having it rough? Boomers (both early and late) did all of those things before them. They act like the X-ers invented that shit.

The victim has been described by locals as an 'extremely vulnerable' man who has difficulty hearing. He is originally from Scotland and moved to the area a few years ago.

His attacker moved in with another Sudanese man just days ago and asked the vulnerable man for help before the attack began.

They finish by saying there is absolutely no way the victim would have stood a chance against his attacker

That's the Senatorial Primary - and the lady who lost to the Nazi is Janet Mills, current, sitting Governor of Maine. You may remember her as one of the idiot Dems who literally threw herself onto the altar of "trans women" or as I like to call them: "pedo men in dresses" she really, really believes that these pedo men in dresses need to be in your daughter's bathrooms, locker rooms and on your daughter's sports teams. She was sued by the Trump DOJ. Even in earthy crunchy Maine, the tranny rights thing, and being an uber-Karen, is deeply unpopular. Her campaign for Senate tanked before it even really began. So much so that she "suspended " her campaign quite a few months ago.

I cannot believe the conversation I just had with George W. Bush’s cousin running for Governor in Maine. Jonathan Bush JUST WENT SCORCHED Earth Against…

- Maine being the #1 landing spot for Somalis in the country
- The Democrats using Maine as their Socialist Sandbox
- Drug addicts being shipped to Maine
- High Taxes
- Policies driving businesses out
- Rampant DEI

Maine is arguably one of the most beautiful states in the country, yet the Democrats have been treating it like their own personal garbage dump and sandbox to experiment with all their insane, socialist, and un-American ideas.

We cannot continue to allow the Democrats to destroy our country. 🇺🇸

If a migrant comes to our country and attempts to saw a man's head off in the street, a Restore Britain Government will not deport.

With the British people's approval, that savage will be put to death.

But that is not enough - these atrocities will keep happening. The barbarians are already inside the gates.

Immigration will end from countries that are proven to supply us with these monsters.

Third world migrants who hate our way of life will be removed from our country. Restore Britain will deport millions.

I have had enough. The British people have had enough.

We do not have to live like this - there is another way.

Not a fan of the Bush family but notice no Islam is a religion of peace bullshit or diversity good like his cousin made as Prezzie. None of the this is not who were are bullshit either. That means the winds are changing on the whole racism/endless invaders/cheap labor rackets. It is getting less and less tenable as more and more facts get out about Somalis, the rampant theft of government money, the intentional violence and racial hatred that these groups aim at whites, etc.

The Overton Window has to shift before things can get done. Trump is doing a good job shutting the door to new illegals, trying to reduce H1B abuse, and cutting off the social service funding to those still here. A few years ago, you would have all these leading bleeding hearts on news nattering on about how racist this was and unpopular and enough people nodding their heads. Now the center is getting radicalized which is necessary for the mass deportations and removals.

It's not always said that plainly but that's the message.

What women(well, ackshewallee, everyone) have forgotten is that (IIRC) ages 16-30 is the prime period for having kiddos biologically and fertility wise.

I've know several couples who waited till their mid-30s to have babies and have had a very hard time. Not all but several.

Pelley the Concubine:

I’ve never worn the uniform. But I’ve been in combat for this country, in Afghanistan and Iraq, Kuwait. I’ve been shot at, spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

"Standing right next to the Sainted Beau Biden, I was. I saw him take two to the chest and one to the right thigh. Had I acted sooner, I would have taken those kill shots in his place, but, alas, my game controller's charge gave out at that exact moment."

This image is a photograph titled "Golden Heritage, 2026" by Alp Alper. It depicts rural laborers working in Bagan, Myanmar, during a golden hour sunset. The scene shows farmers threshing or winnowing grain in front of traditional stupas and temples. The atmosphere is filled with a thick veil of dust and smoke rising from the dry earth.

No, they didn't. No European party stood for election on a manifesto of "We will let swarthy men rape your daughters."

What happened is that the elites all agreed that *ALL* parties would support this, so there would be no way to vote your way out of it. In a few countries, opposition parties emerged, and the others conspired to smother them. Look at the Tories in the UK. It's all lies.

Ron Klain is an attorney who was an appointee of former President Barack Obama as the White House Ebola Response Coordinator. He was then named Biden’s chief of staff, after working as a senior adviser on his 2020 campaign, and is now a chief legal officer at Airbnb, while “using his personal time” to advise Khanna “as he prepares for a possible 2028 presidential bid”.

An unnamed member of Biden's former inner circle is reported to have endorsed Mr. Khanna, remarking "Why go half-dot when you can have a full dot?"

The point of an impartial but serious judicial system is to make mob violence and vigilantism unnecessary.

108 I saw a new coordinated hot take on Raman posting a ridiculous number of votes in the mail in dumps.

See, Raman voters intentionally held their ballots to see how the election would play out before deciding how to vote.

Now...there are several problems with this theory, first, it is much easier to believe that some individual, not thousands of independent voters would make a coordinated decision, but more importantly Raman voters wouldn't know that it was "safe" to vote for her if they didn't see the results before voting and supposedly all those ballots being counted were cast before election day

Which, guess what, they are. 2007 was also the appearance of Obama on the American and world stage and we all know what damage that bastard and his cronies did to this society. Recall his "School Czar" wanted to teach "fisting to kindergartners" and that was like the 78th most shocking thing to come out of that dumbass administration.

Hell, when was "An Inconvenient Truth" released? The film that instructed the world, and shown in every single school starting in 2006, the giant lie that it was all going to shit and people are a poison for the planet?

There is so much that has occurred specifically since around 2007, including the long torturous ascent of the American Left, that it's impossible to know exactly what happened. But we can guess. I doubt it's simply "smartphones".

They aren't all smashing windows; some are setting up checkpoints around neighborhoods to stop cars and make sure no migrants are trying to get through, while others are checking the phones of passers-by and making sure there are no incriminating photos on them.

The strategy seems to be to avoid concentrating in any one place, instead sending small contingents to burn the houses and shops of unwelcome residents, while placing barricades around the city in order to slow down the police.

It breaks down upon scale. You can do a few thousand but you debank hundreds of thousands, you have just converted them into a mob destined to do what they have to do to survive.

To many of these pencil neck geeks that think up these clever nudge schemes think that their necks can't be wrung over it.

The most dangerous crowd in the world are those that stand to lose everything so they have nothing left to lose by taking you down with them. The Ceaucescus with far better titular ability to shut down mobs ended up gunned down like mad dogs.

Labour is done, they have no legitimacy left in the tank and you already begin to see leadership splintering between the true believers in leftist bullshit and those that want to salvage some sort of political future by a new weak sop slate like Burnham.

The Labour government has no legitimacy anymore and is well under a quarter of the population for support. Throughout Europe, popular discontent with the Europhile Eurocrats and their invading hordes has reached the end of the rope. Either the governments fall to be replaced by newly elected hardliners, or you get a no justice no peace situation and regime fracturing.

Germany, France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands, etc. are all beginning to burn the invaders out of house and home, next will be their businesses, and socializing spots, and so on.

Ireland's time of troubles was not so long ago that lessons are still known there. The main difference is that the Brits and really Irish no longer have the military and paramilitary police forces to handle such and trying to use them that way is likely to splinter those forces. Governments falling is likely the first step when they can no longer protect their pets from enraged locals, the second step is likely to be regime replacement either elected or worse.

And I think part of what is happening is that the US is no longer blowing billions of bucks via AID to subsidize the lefties and buy off angry nationalists.

CENTCOM forces struck Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets. The operation was a proportional response to recent attacks on U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters.

Farange, at heart was a Tory that wanted the UK to exit the Common Market. He was never someone that really wanted to send the illegals and 'refugees' back as he is trying to make Reform multi cultural like the Tories with Kemi Badenoch. His funding sources for his party are a bit murky with a hodge podge of people like the Father in Law and UK News funder, of Candace Ovens husband. Remains to be seen how this pickup team actually governs at the local level.

But it is clear that Rupert and Nick have a fundamental disagreement over the role of any immigration and whether current ones that have flooded in for well over a decade have to be returned home.

259 220 Thomas Meagher was a huge figure during the Potato Famine. He was involved with the creation of the Irish flag, green, white and orange, because he really did want to unite the Catholics and the Protestants. He became important enough that the English could not simply killed him. So they trundled him off to Tasmania. He ended up in America and led an Irish US army unit in the Civil war. Later he became the first territorial governor of Montana. Fooker got around, stamped huge trail.

Posted by: Pug Mahon, Not Mel Cooley at June 09, 2026 09:10 PM (0aYVJ)

Meagher gained fame in the US as a brigadier general commanding the Irish Brigade, initially consisting of the 63rd, 69th, and 88th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiments. The Irish Brigade became was famous for its furious attacks and high casualties, at Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg.

The Department of Justice has issued an opinion to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”

that its guidelines about disparate-impact liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act are unconstitutional. The Office of Legal Counsel found that EEOC’s guidelines pressured employers to engage in racial discrimination.

"Despite trying to promote equality, EEOC's disparate impact liability interpretation under Title VII actually fosters the very discrimination its guidelines seek to address," said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. "This opinion will now allow businesses to hire based on performance, restoring equal opportunities in the American workplace."

I think Thune has his head so far up his ass that he can't see the onrushing train toward him. He and the dwindling band of McConnell acolytes are facing extinction and all he can think about is poor John Cornyn, Poor Cassidy, etc. etc.

And the dynamite are the federal grand juries investigating voter fraud in 2020 and perhaps other years in places like Georgia.

Mangum is an evil bitch that ended up stabbing someone later on and is now doing a poor poor pitiful me act. I have no tolerance nor sympathy for her nor Karmelo. Plenty of people grow up from shitty lives or even suffer mental illness without hurting people.

The truth is that some people are evil and you cannot fix them. So the best you can do is pray for them to realize the gravity of all that they did, beg forgiveness from others, accept their just societal punishment, and try to live the rest of their lives owing those that they wronged so much.

The Left, Which Has Propagandized Against Childbirth and For the Self-Extiction of the Human Race for 50 Years, Wonders Why People Aren't Having Babies Any Longer

Of all the anti-human psyops of the left, this one is the most consequential -- and insidious.

The New York Times looks right past their own relentless anti-childbirth propaganda and names "cell phones" as the disruptor.

Now, thare's some truth in that -- in that the cell phone is The Regime's greatest achievement, a mobile, personal, 24/7/364 portal to Regime propaganda.

Why Are Birthrates Down? Two New Studies Point to Phones.

Modern smartphones rolled out in 2007, the year that fertility rates began falling. Two studies say that is not a coincidence.

The enduring mystery of the fertility decline has a new culprit: the smartphone.
Experts have long wondered if phones played a role in the birthrate decline -- which began in 2007, the same year that Apple introduced the iPhone -- but until now there had not been hard evidence to prove it.
Two new papers, one published Monday and the other in May, are the first academic endeavors that test whether the smartphone was a cause.
They are the most recent efforts to explain the sweeping fertility rate decline in the United States and other countries over the past 20 years. Researchers have already looked at contraception use, abortion rates, rising levels of female education and even the popular television show "16 and Pregnant."
Proving phones caused the decline is a tricky endeavor. There were a number of major events in those years, including the Great Recession, and isolating smartphone use is difficult.
The gold standard for scientific evidence is known as random assignment. It compares outcomes for people randomly chosen to receive a treatment (like getting a smartphone) with people who are not.
But that is not possible when it comes to ferreting out reasons for declining fertility.
So researchers sought out data about smartphones that introduced randomness.
Caitlin Myers, an economist at Middlebury College, and Ezekiel Hooper, her student, used the spotty early rollout of the iPhone as a way to isolate the effects of the phone on fertility. The first iPhone was released in June 2007, they wrote, and was available only on the AT&T network until February 2011. The study compared fertility rates in U.S. counties that had near-universal AT&T coverage with counties that had little or none.

Their paper, published in the National Bureau of Economic Research, found that the iPhone caused as much as half of the fertility decline between 2007 and 2011. The most pronounced effects were among young people aged 15 to 24.
What happened in the counties with iPhones? One theory, Professor Myers said, is that young people began to socialize more on their phones and less in person, and consequently were less likely to have sex and become pregnant.

And what messages did they get over their cellphones 24/7? Constant crisis, constant fear, constant messaging that the world was ending and it was all due to human births, constant messaging in favor of hook-up culture and abortion and, for the boys, pornography, and constant messaging against marriage, the family, and humanity itself.

And then they wonder: Why are women under 40 barren by their own decisions and actions?

�
Karmelo Anthony breaks down in tears as he heard verdict. We have not taken a break. Karmelo has been walked out of the court. Karmelo's mother is also sobbing in her seat.
Extraordinary moment just now: Karmelo's lawyer asked if he could take his client somewhere to pull himself together. Judge responded Karmelo has been found guilty is now in the custody of the sheriff. 'Things move differently now,' judge said.

Do they really think things are that far gone that they can just murder innocent people and then ask to be let go so they can calm themselves down with a fidget-spinner and pot?

13 The cellphone is insidious. Before I retired, I would walk across campus and see almost every single students glued to a cell screen, whether sitting or walking (and not watching where they were going). When I started working there in '88 and again in 2002, students actually looked up and around at the world.

Miss Linda sits here every evening and scrolls endlessly on her phone.

I use mine for phone calls and texts, and not much else. It stays in the car when I go into the library or someplace that asks you to mute the device.

14 I'm pretty sure fertility and birth control are two separate issues. Many young women don't want to have children. It's very difficult to support a family in these modern times and even more difficult to establish a home without getting youself into debt up to your fucking eyeballs. But rest assured, the economists and the government are on your side.

Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at June 09, 2026 06:20 PM (pSkMS)

15 If the dumb bitches worried about climate change aren't having children, that's natural selection at work. Good job.

And population decline when the hardy survive isn't a bad thing.

Screw the ever growing economy....

The birth rate among conservative women remains almost unchanged since the 1980s. Liberal women started to drift downwards long before cell phones were a thing.

19 The main reason is feminism. Western women have become so self centered, obnoxious, and masculine there are few fit to be wives. And the young men have noticed. Who wants to wife up some chick covered in metal and tattoos and masculine energy, and fucked in every hole by 50 guys? Thats a losing proposition.

26 Rarely do we get great news, but liberals no longer procreating sounds like a big win to me.

This has been a trend for a while, religious people and conservatives are having all the kids.

I don't think its phones directly, but social media is definitely a big part. I was talking to a youth group leader and she was saying just relationships in general are very odd with young people. Like nobody feels they have any friends.

I think it's partly economic. Buying a starter home in large swaths of America is basically gone unless you have family money. You can thank Private Equity and VRBO for destroying that. If you can't buy a house, do you really think people feel safe starting a family?

"Sinn Féin Councillor Róis-Máire Donnelly is the new Lord Mayor of Belfast.

She pledged:

"...to put diversity, young people, and language rights at the heart of her term in office."

She also said:

“I was raised in an inclusive and welcoming environment, where difference and diversity is embraced and celebrated, and I am proud of that. My upbringing has shown me that everyone deserves to be, and must be, treated equally.”

What a great start, her words have aged like milk and shes only been in the role for 8 days!!!!

42 Watched some random panel discussion the other night about declining birth, marriage, dating, sex etc. and one guy did tie it to the iPhone and social media but started with noting that kids in clubs don't dance. Why? The panopticon. Everything is on video and gets broadcast worldwide. You don't look cool enough you get put on blast. You ask a girl out and she thinks you aren't hot, you get put on blast. You do anything at all that somebody doesn't like you get put on blast and shamed in front of the whole world. So extreme risk aversion - and not an entirely irrational one - is part of the equation.

47 I have my phone with me mostly all the time. But, often it goes nearly unused, so at the end of the day I might have 90% charger left. I basically recharge it twice a week.

I like to be in quick contact with my family, if something comes up, and if I find myself in a waiting room at a doctor's office, I can keep myself occupied reading AoSHQ.

But I never look at my phone when walking, and when driving, it stays in my front pocket until I can stop and take a look.

Constant crisis, constant fear, constant messaging that the world was ending and it was all due to human births, constant messaging in favor of hook-up culture and abortion and, for the boys, pornography, and constant messaging against marriage, the family, and humanity itself.

Thing is, the polling shows men actually want families and children more than women do. The women are too busy girlbossing and getting their wombs scraped more than the flat grill at Waffle House, not to mention hating men for no particular reason, again as studies are showing.

It was at that point that Rivas allegedly fled on foot and jumped off the side of the elevated freeway, into a nearby swamp.

He was then attacked by a gator, with footage showing him being mauled by the predator in its murky waters.

80 Soy does not affect testosterone or raise estrogen in men. It does contain plant based phytoestrogens, but it does not effect hormones unless you are eating more soy than would almost be possible, and the minute you stopped eating it, because you probably want to throw up, the minimal impact would reverse almost immediately. BUT what studies have shown is eating soy (like in soy protein shakes, or edamame, or tofu) in normal amounts actually has a positive impact on prostrate cancer. It also has shown in multiple studies to have a positive impact on bone density in women.

81 Louisiana State Troopers conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 310 and reported that Victor Rivas, of Montz, displayed signs of impairment.

It was at that point that Rivas allegedly fled on foot and jumped off the side of the elevated freeway, into a nearby swamp.

He was then attacked by a gator, with footage showing him being mauled by the predator in its murky waters.

In addition to a lot of things like economics, the hook up culture shares a lot of blame also. Women thinking a career is super important sort of sideline themselves until its too later. Men dont want to start a family with a woman that's nearly 40.

118 I realize that the internet, and specifically social media, has made everyone intensely stupid.

I was struck by this when watching this Karmelo trial play out. The evidence was overwhelming, incontrovertible, even; and the self defense claim was laughable. The "size of the knife" was an incredibly stupid issue for anyone to bring up, because it meant absolutely nothing. It was big enough to kill, issue closed. It was an obvious slam dunk conviction to me, right from the start.

Add to that one of the most incompetent defense performances I've ever followed, by an absolute clown for a lawyer. And yet here were a host of people saying KA would be found innocent because he was just a sweet nice boy. Was I crazy, or were there?

Answer is in - their hopes were shipwrecked on the cruel hard rocks of Reality, and a 3 hour guilty verdict in a murder case is about the most slam dunk declaration of guilt that you will ever see. And yet the net is full of all these people crying and wondering, "how could this have possibly happened?"

They have lost all connection with reality, and live in some kind of LARP world full time now.

That truism about declining birth rates isn't completely true; or at least it's quite misleading. I have a very conservative catholic nephew in north Florida, and he and his wife have 7 kids. A lot of conservative Christians see it as their duty to have families like that.

A dark joke I've often made, and which is looking more likely to come true every day now, is that within 40 - 50 years the US will be populated by 50% conservative Christians, and 50% Mexicans. And that'll be an interesting mix.

It's an uncomfortable topic to mention, but the black segment of the population - except for those who intermarry with the hispanics, and in my part of the world there's a lot of that - is weeding itself out of the population.

Posted by: Piper at June 09, 2026 06:54 PM (Wmg4n)

There is usually a small button the disposal itself, that is an internal Breaker... I'd check that first...
Posted by: Romeo13 at June 09, 2026 06:57 PM (mP0Kj)

If it isn't the internal breaker, the breaker/fuse at the panel, and it's plugged in, I'd suggest using a wrench for garbage disposals, in case the blades were locked during the install.

From what I recall, there is one outlet for both the dishwasher and disposal, from what I've seen. Check that they are both plugged in. Check the circuit breaker is not tripped by cycling it.

If it is an older place, there may be one GFCI outlet on the bank of kitchen outlets that could have tripped. Reset that.

On newer constructions, the breakers may be GFCI - ours are - and you will have to reset the breaker and/or GFCI in the panel, where the GFCI on the breaker is a little colored pop-up button that you can reset.

If you consider the Left is much about projection, it might make some sense. Create a massive underclass that you can rule over. They do it with (illegal) immigration, because abortion is a sacrament to the AWFLs for their own use. Maybe they assume the other side must have similar motives.

Florida goes from 0 to 345 ft above sea level.

ND from 750 to 3506. KS from 679 to 4039.

The eastern halves of those states are pretty flat. They just get too close to the Rockies on their western ends to be "flattest."

I think the Red River Valley in northeastern ND and northwestern MN is "locally" the second-flattest place in the country, behind Utah's salt flats. It was the bottom of "Lake Agassiz" for a few millennia after the last glaciation.

254 I had some marriage and family issues today. My younger daughter came over. She told me she worked a wedding at the winery where she sometimes works. She told me the bride went up into the barn loft. Her father went up there to greet her and begin the walk down the aisle. The bride was clearly very moved. Ten years ago, when my daughter married, there was family drama causing her to essentially elope rather to have a big ceremony. She told me, tearfully, that she regretted that she had not had me there to walk her down the aisle. I never blamed her for the drama that had prevented a ceremony but I was sad she and I were deprived of that.

Report: Bari Weiss Will Assume Editorial Control Over Basketcase Ratings-Disaster Partisan Spin-Shop CNN

Via Steven Miller, who's worried about Tater.

And what will happen to Fake Jake?

CBS News boss Bari Weiss is likely to gain editorial oversight of CNN if and when Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is approved, according to a report.
Paramount executives are said to have held preliminary discussions with several candidates who would come in and run the business-side operations next to Weiss while she continues to oversee editorial.
The company is considering several big names, including current CNN CEO Mark Thompson, NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde and former NBC News chief Noah Oppenheim, Axios reported.
Ben Sherwood, currently CEO of Daily Beast, and former CBS News president David Rhodes are also under consideration, according to the report.
The search implies that once the merger goes through, Weiss will also be put in charge of CNN's editorial operations, Axios said.
...

According to Axios, Ellison couldn't be more pleased with Weiss' performance thus far.
"The Paramount brass loves Bari Weiss," a source told the news site.
"She has the full confidence of David Ellison, who believes Bari has done a fantastic job as editor-in-chief."
...
Paramount Skydance's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery has not yet closed, though both companies have said they expect the roughly $110 billion deal to be completed in the third quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approvals and any legal challenges.
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders have already approved the transaction, but the merger still faces scrutiny from antitrust regulators and California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who has said his office is reviewing the deal.

thanks to runner.

Fake Tapper knows that, like Pott Smelley, he'll be one of the first overpaid prima donna Theater Kid jokes to be fired by Bari Weiss, so he's preparing his Heroic Flounce.

CNN's The Lead host Jake Tapper leaned on his sanctimonious reputation late Wednesday afternoon as he devoted the first 14 minutes to huffing about CBS News firing longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley for his petulant reenactment of Pickett's Charge, thinking he could eviscerate his bosses and intimidate them in his "house."
For the second of three segments, Tapper turned to former ABC colleague Terry Moran and former CBS January 6 correspondent-turned-MeidasTouch host Scott MacFarlane. Both are now at Substack.
MacFarlane went first, declaring "[n]obody wins if 60 Minutes is damaged" because "[i]t's still one of those rare media entities, Jake, that can cut through the noise and cut through the clutter."
[Disgraced fake "journalist" now working for a Biden political PAC McFarlane] then embarrassingly referred to Pelley as "the living Mount Rushmore at CBS News" and that, speaking for himself, he wasn't known at CBS as "Scott" because that name had "reverence" reserved for Pelley.
"I'm surprised that anybody would get rid of a transcendent personality who can attract an audience or who is associated with the strength of a brand. You watch Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes. You knew you were going to get a comprehensive report. You never want to damage a brand by getting rid of the pillar of the entity," he further opined.

Scott Pelley was fired by CBS from the "anchor" position by Ben Rhodes' brother David Rhodes. For months, Rhodes schemed about how to solve "the Scott Pelley problem," as Sheryl Attkisson reported. She said that Pelley was "unpopular" at CBS because of his domineering incompetence, insisting on rewriting and censoring reporters' stories after, emptilly, assuring them that their reports would be the "stars" of the show.

She also made this funny quip about his preening, Look At Me ego:

Sharyl Attkisson
@SharylAttkisson
Perhaps David Bloom put it best. "When Scott Pelley gets in line at Starbucks and orders coffee, he doesn't order what he really wants. He orders what he wants people behind him to hear him order."

Mount Rushmore? Seriously?

MacFarlane at least conceded much of 60 Minutes's large ratings are owed to its lead-in from NFL games.
...
The only explanation, [disgraced partisan lightweight fairy Terry Moran] argued, for the changes to the show are from Paramount Skydance boss David Ellison "want[ing] to curry favor with Trump."
Drool was missing from Moran's shirt as he said this about Pelley's fellow fired colleagues: "They fired Cecilia Vega and Sharon Alfonso, two fearless, bold journalists, troublemakers. I mean, in a good way, good trouble, right, as John Lewis used to say."

I can't help noticing they only made trouble for one political movement.

Tapper presented MacFarlane with the reality that "polls do suggest that the media trust is at an all-time low" and wondered if he saw any validity in that widespread belief in legacy media having "an anti-Trump spin, liberal spin."
MacFarlane scoffed, deriding the idea that those polls are legitimate or provide context:

Former CBS correspondent-turned-MeidasTouch pundit Scott MacFarlane scoffs at the notion found in polls Americans don�t trust the media...

�I would venture the bold prediction that, if Americans were surveyed about the trustworthiness of 60 Minutes, it may have more support and� pic.twitter.com/PWaLEOKTia
— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 3, 2026

...
Moran hurled predictable venom in his heart for half the country, arguing we're too partisan and stupid to appreciate what he believes is real journalism: "I think chasing MAGA audiences are a fool's errand because they don't want the kind of journalism that 60 Minutes does, which is in-depth and straight and fearless. They want the journalism that flatters their own prejudices."

Fired ABC correspondent-turned-Substack host Terry Moran says Scott Pelley�s firing from CBS�s �60 Minutes� is �a fire bell in the night� about press freedom from corporate interference and that anyone in legacy media appealing to �MAGA audiences� is �a fool�s errand� because� pic.twitter.com/jLHKuRgBNT

Jake Tapper just opened his show with a snarky commentary about how much he hates Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton for what they've done to Scott Pelley.

Curtis Houck
@CurtisHouck

WATCH: CNN's Jake Tapper opens his show with over 14 minutes melting down over CBS News, Bari Weiss, and Nick Bilton firing Scott Pelley....
Tapper: "Now, let's zoom out for a second to look at the core issues here and why this larger 60 Minutes overhaul may be happening because this story is relevant...
"[T]his is also a story of media consolidation and those who are trying to build big mega-companies in the environment where we have a President who is more than willing to impose his likes and dislikes on the regulatory world. Now, people close to Bari Weiss insists that the CBS overhaul is about culture, not politics. They think that 60 Minutes is an archaic institution that is in urgent need of reinvention. Bari Weiss argues that the news media needs to be fairer and needs to regain the public's trust, and her boss, David Ellison, says that CBS News needs to appeal to the 70 percent of the country that is in the political middle."
"On the other hand, what 60 Minutes defenders see as its strengths, the Bari Weiss individuals and executives see as potential shortcomings, and they're determined to rebuild this news magazine for a digital world in a vertical video age. But Scott Pelley and others at CBS, and others who used to be at CBS do think there's something more, something political behind this rebuild. They say that Paramount's new owners, with David Ellison at the top, are seeking a closer relationship with Donald Trump and his administration and that Ellison appointed Weiss to appease Trump and overhaul 60 Minutes, which Trump doesn't like, and all of CBS News, which Trump doesn't like."
"And this argument goes that all of this is happening in order to get approval of the purchase of Paramount last year by David Ellison's company and the pending purchase of Warner Bros Discovery any day now. And of course, we should note Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN. If you want to know one of the reasons why people keep suggesting that new ownership of these news organizations is behind wanting to curry favor with Trump, and that's one of the things driving all this, it's because of things that President Trump keeps saying, or Secretary Haggseff, just a few moments ago, President Trump said this to CNN's Kaitlin Collins...."
...
TAPPER: "A reminder that President Trump calls any reporting he doesn't like felt -- false, and any reporting he doesn't like garbage. Again, CBS News and Paramount reject the assertion of any political influence or interference."

So that's Fake Jake accusing Bari Weiss and Larry Ellison of making MAGA TV. He covers it with some he-said, she-said, but it's clear -- based on the number of words he devotes to each proposition, for one thing -- which side he's claiming is the truth.

WATCH: CNN�s Jake Tapper opens his show with over 14 minutes melting down over CBS News, Bari Weiss, and Nick Bilton firing Scott Pelley....

31 25 So I seriously wonder ... this is not a rhetorical question. I'm shooting straight.

Jake Tapper - like a bunch of the rest of them - do they go to bars ? A drink after work ?

Because I can't imagine dudes like that not getting told "fuck you and shut up" in public. When the situation isn't controlled and normal working men are not constrained.

Of course - I also wonder that shit on a lot of threads here. Including the last one.

Tapper et al live in either Manhattan or DC and do not go to bars where working men frequent.

They are stars in their little bubbles and get treated like royalty by the peons in the area who want to bask in his fame.

45 "The company is considering several big names, including current CNN CEO Mark Thompson, NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde and former NBC News chief Noah Oppenheim, Axios reported."

There is no way that Oppenheim should be considered for the top slot. He was responsible for the Access Hollywood fiasco with Billy Bush and DJT back in 2016. That wasn't a story, and I always thought that he gave the 'scoop' to Fahrenthold at WaPo to keep his hands clean. It would have been too suspicious to have his people at NBC have the story when the off-the-record footage was with a property that they owned.

McFarlane, meanwhile, was known around the office as
"Brownie Brown-Nosed McBrown-Noser Asskisser"

"I'm surprised that anybody would get rid of a transcendent personality who can attract an audience or who is associated with the strength of a brand. You watch Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes.

Anthony was originally warned he faced between five and 99 years behind bars for Metcalf's April 2025 stabbing at a track meet in Frisco, Texas.

But after the verdict was passed on Tuesday, prosecutors agreed to consider 'sudden passion' as a factor when determining Anthony's sentence.

Sudden passion is a legal term that allows a criminal to argue they were in an intense emotional state when they committed wrongdoing. If it is granted, it would reduce Anthony's murder to a second-degree felony.

Judge John Roach has yet to rule on whether to accept the sudden passion defense. If he does, it could see Anthony serve as little as two years behind bars, with a maximum sentence of 20 years.

Roach could ultimately decide to rule against the sudden passion application and give jurors the powers to put Anthony behind bars for the rest of his life.

It happens. I am still reading updates on it. There are some funny GFM/GSG updates.

Following thousands of community complaints, GoFundMe completely removed the Anthony family's secondary campaign page. Per platform terms, GoFundMe chose to proactively refund all money collected on their system back to the donors.
------
As the main campaign on GiveSendGo scaled past $450,000 to $600,000, the platform's Trust & Safety team froze the funds.

GiveSendGo's co-founder confirmed they held the cash until the family could explicitly clarify the use of the funds so that donors "can be confident in how their donation is being used."

The largest surge of refund demands occurred after Karmelo Anthony requested a court-appointed public defender, citing financial hardship. Backers who gave money explicitly to secure "top-tier legal representation" felt intentionally misled when the family shifted the financial burden to taxpayers while simultaneously increasing their fundraising goal to $1.4 million.

Think about the definition. It checks all the boxes: from all over the world, they send their kids to the same schools, where they learn in the same language (English), get indoctrinated in the same cult (Social Justice), and end up marrying only each other.

Language, culture, genetics. Airplanes are taking them from a class within each nation, to a separate people over all. And Davos is their true capital.

164 There were three once-in-a-hundred years news stories which occurred over the last ten years and which the Press missed ON PURPOSE and ACTIVELY OBSCURED. 1. The DOJ/FBI/Intelligence people conspired to frame an elected President as a secret spy of a hostile foreign power; 2. COVID-19 was the result of lab experimentation in a likely illegally U.S. funded lab; and 3. The United States was run by an unelected and unnamed Regency Council while the sitting President suffered from advanced progressive dementia and was unable to fulfill the duties of the Office for his entire term of office.

We lived through this and we know that they knew (many in the Press participating in the conspiracies themselves) and still they pretend that they are straight non-partisan shooters.

No one in Europe voted for any of this crap. The elites decided that all the parties would support it, and if you disagree (like AfD in Germany), you get banned.

So the Irish were never asked, it was never put on a ballot, all the parties agreed and that was that. No way to vote out of it.

So now they're reacting in trademark Irish fashion. I love that Orange and Green are collaborating for once. Irish unity!

Given that it's California, I'm kind of surprised they aren't voting for the sharks for LA mayor, governor, and Senator. They seem to lack the self-preservation gene.

197 I'm Not sure what evicting them is going to do. They will go to complain to their councils or other government officials and get in somewhere else.

Yeah, makes no sense. However, I think what they mean by "evicting" is just throwing them out in the street.

Been busy with the maintenance people who came to fix my ceiling leak and then had to come back to flip a breaker on my A/C. All is well now.

I've never really watched 60 Minutes. I can recall dimly when it started, with Mike Wallace and guys like him, and it occupied CBS's early Sunday night slot for decades (and is still camped there, right?). I preferred The Simpsons and Married With Children.

China is suffering in that it is not getting Venezuelan or Iranian oil at the embargo discount that was enforced by the US Navy, however, by the oil industry analysts' determination, the loss of Iranian oil and the other gulf states' oil is being re-routed or replaced by expansion in production from other areas, and is about 90% compensated for.
China is hurting because they pay market price now, and India is hurting because they can't transship Iranian oil at a mark-up to Europe

Trump. The ceasefire was for our benefit, not Iran's. We turn it on and off as needed.

Meanwhile China writhes in unexpected agony and watches its balance of trade turn to crap. Oh, and they are also needing sooo much of our oil (or Venezuela's same thing!).

The key part is patience. Send the message that we're good with this for as long as it takes. Iran can't ever let it's guard down, draw breath or pay its goons. Sad.

282 277 Louisiana State Troopers conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 310 and reported that Victor Rivas, of Montz, displayed signs of impairment.

It was at that point that Rivas allegedly fled on foot and jumped off the side of the elevated freeway, into a nearby swamp.

He was then attacked by a gator, with footage showing him being mauled by the predator in its murky waters.

295 Gas is dropping here too. $3.49 at my usual Exxon, down .10 from last week. Their ethanol-free is holding at $3.69, but that's a dollar cheaper than elsewhere. I do get better mileage on that fuel, so I'm pretty sure it is E0.

Murphy Oil stations with E0 offer a lovely [sarc] price of $4.52 -- but then it's premium E0, 91 or 93.

Next week I need to call about having the Buick's spark plugs changed. It's due at 98,500 miles, says the manual, and the big red beast just clicked over to 99,000.

Breaking: Psychopathic Race-Murderer Karmelo Anthony Convicted of Brutal Killing of Innocent Athlete
"Protesters," Get This, Begin Punching People; Police Are Arresting the Thugs

Washington Times:

A Texas jury on Tuesday found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet last year, concluding a closely watched trial that drew national attention over questions of race, self-defense and school safety.
The Collin County jury deliberated for about three hours before returning its unanimous verdict. The same jury will now decide Anthony's sentence. Under Texas law, a murder conviction is punishable by five to 99 years in state prison.
...
The case stems from a confrontation at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco on April 2, 2025, where Anthony, then a student at Frisco Centennial High School, and Metcalf, a student-athlete at Frisco Memorial High School, clashed under a team tent where athletes had gathered during inclement weather. The altercation ended when Metcalf was stabbed in the chest. Medical examiner testimony at trial revealed that Metcalf had been stabbed through the heart, with a two-inch wound described as "gaping."
Prosecutors characterized the stabbing as a provoked, unjustified "sneak attack" inside the team tent, while the defense argued it was a split-second act of self-defense born of fear and chaos. Anthony did not testify in his own defense.
...
Anthony, now 19, was convicted in Collin County District Court in McKinney. The sentencing phase, to be decided by the same jury, was expected to begin promptly given the speed of deliberations.

BREAKING: 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony has been FOUND GUILTY in the mu*der of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet last year.

The Collin County jury reached the verdict after just hours of deliberations.

From Fox:

“ A jury has found Texas teenager Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet last year.

A murder conviction carries a maximum sentence of five to 99 years or life in prison.The verdict came just three hours after deliberations began, and Anthony now faces up to 99 years or life in prison.”

37 4. Correct. The sentencing phase can take it down to a "heated passion" second degree felony, which caps sentence to 20 (vs. a 99 year max for first degree).

I dont think he is going to get more than 30 for M1 myself, but who knows. I also dont see how the jury would find guilty of M1 and still think this was in any way self defense.

38 I know this verdict will not bring Austin back, but I do hope it brings some measure of peace to the Metcalf family,

52 I'm surprised. I predicted manslaughter given my read of the jury and the almost short time they deliberated. Suggested a compromise verdict.

I don't think there will be riots. Look at the footage outside the courthouse. There's more reporters there than potential rioters.

The usual suspects of race pimps and grifters were conspicuously absent from this case. It was almost like they knew or sensed Anthony was vile and toxic and not good for PR.

The most notable person out there ranting against whitey was a convicted sex offender.

Dallas nbc tv is saying it's a minimum of 25 years with a maximum of 99 years.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 09, 2026 03:47 PM

The family raised over $700,000 through a go fund me account and blew that money on a new car and house. Then when the murderer turned 18 he pleaded poverty and got appointed a public defender to take his case. He got some hot shot lawyer to take his case pro bono after that but as we can see that didn't do diddly squat.

143 A murder conviction carries a maximum sentence of five to 99 years or life in prison.The verdict came just three hours after deliberations began, and Anthony now faces up to 99 years or life in prison.

-----

20, as long as he doesn't kill again in jail.

99 years is an option.

But they'll go with the usual capital murder "life" sentence for this juvenile - 40 year parole eligibility, reduced to 20 with good time.

I didn't know this about TX until this case. In my state, a life sentenced prisoner typically serves 51 years before eligibility (or dies first).

TX needs to tighten it up.

If you listen to some of the protestors in front of the court house over the last few days you would know the answer to that question. One guy was out there shouting the only good cracker is a dead one. A few others were hurling racial slurs as well but we will never see those on TV. It was ugly.

We need to remember in 2016 that a black man ambushed Dallas police and killed five of them and wounded 9 others because they were white and he was a black man avenging the killing of black men that were supposedly killed by police.

obama set race relations back 50 years in this country by his words and actions as president.

310 Speaking of aspiring rappers, I do think the rise of "gangsta rap" in the 90s led to much of this. I was young enough at that point to hear a goodly bit of if, and to me it was kind of like Clint Eastwood westerns. The idea was you shot anybody who looked at you funny so you would shoot like 5-10 people a week and somehow stay on the street. Obviously not to be taken any more seriously than living as an Eastwood cowboy. But it has become a lifestyle so you end up with people like this who think its going to be fine if they stab somebody for "dissing" them.

That's probably the hidden maxim, but most of them will come up with an ex post facto justification or deflection. I've seen many people claim Metcalf was wrong for trying to handle it himself. They assert he should have had a coach take care of it.

I strongly believe if he'd done that, Anthony would have stabbed the coach. The people saying Metcalf should have got a coach would be saying the coach should have called the cops, or simply let him do whatever the hell he wanted.

You aren’t saved from the earthly consequences, if that is the expectation, you haven’t truly accepted Christ in your heart.

321 He was indignant, angry, belligerent, and arrogant the entire way to the verdict. The shocking entitlement and blackness of this kid's heart suggests pure sociopath.

------

Sociopathy is the outcome, not the cause, here.

I don't know if you've known any really maladjusted black racists, but this shit is sadly typical, personality-wise.

They're similar to maladjusted white racists, but they have a victim complex, and an all-black community around them that universally either supports them, or gives them a pass for their bullshit, because of their own victim complex.

So, it's not just that the whites are horrible and inferior, but to blame for all the ills of the world. It's much closer to Nazi antisemitism than most types of racism, in that regard.

And they have a consequence-free environment that frequently encourages acting out these beliefs - anger, belligerence, arrogance and entitlement are all baked in the cake.

Which is why a kid tells a cop "it's not alleged, i did it," even though it's tantamount to a guilty plea.

He doesn't get it. He thinks he's justified, and his male role model/s reinforced that belief his whole life.

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

I think he went there to act tough, to show whitey who's in charge. Also cuz he was pissed that the preppy white kids got a tent while his school had none and it was raining... But the knife was just gonna be a threat. And when whitey called his bluff, he was over his head and it was fight over flight. That mugshot and his 'it's not alleged, he put his hands on me' reply at the scene show he's just a stupid wannabe thug who's realizing his life is effectively and justifiably over, just so he wouldn't look weak for backing down from whitey... And that's why he cried at the verdict. He's getting what he deserved. Hopefully his soul finds salvation, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

This is such an odd claim.
1. the science tells us that whites are basically the only group that is not biased and who treat all equally. On juries and in general. So by science, non-whites can not complain about this (but whites can since a non-white jury is proven to be likely biased.)

2. So are we just admitting that we are tribal, and there is a white tribe and a black tribe (and a muzzie tribe, ....) and we are not compatible in something as basic as this? Wake me when we get to the segregation and cleansing phase?

My wife was a head girls track coach for a HS team. I went to meets with her. Even most COACHES didn't go into the tent area too much. That is a private space for the athletes to relax and enjoy themselves.

They would also have a spot picked out in the shade in the stands. That area was where a lot of the athletes would have their bags and would be a little more open to visitors, but kids would hang out around the edges. Coaches would be there reminding kids where to be and monitoring the outcomes of events.

I think that, if anything, his "family" has been sabotaging his defense to keep the gravy train running. No other way to explain it that I can see. I mean, yeah, he's obviously guilty, and was rightfully convicted, but it's like his defense lawyer wasn't even trying.

"Karmelo"'s apparently dumb enough to not recognize that his family sold him out.

I also think that the woman who excreted him into the world (I won't call her a mother) should be jailed just for giving him that fucktarded name.

I've said it before: name your kid "Karmelo" or "Antwaan" and you might as well leave him as a foundling outside the nearest maximum security prison, 'cause that's where he'll be spending most of his life.

Blacks aren't the only ones guilty of this, of course... Name your daughter "Tiphanee" or "Lexxus" and you might as well buy her a mini stripper pole instead of a walker.

Somehow, this behavior is rationalized by suggesting that melanin skin content is directly related to moral terpitude and entitlement.

In a complete society unburnded by such non-sequitir rationalizations, all law abiding citizens regardless of skin shades should be celebrating this verdict.

The reason Kyle didn't end up like Austin is he was armed.

The reason Kyle didn't end up like Karmello is because he wasn't a thug invading someone else's space and property.

I'm so angry about this! I am praying for this young man and his family.😢

I didn't expect such a fast turnaround but self defense doesn't exist for black people. I hope both families can heal and I hope maybe he doesn't get life in prison.

438 I have no particular need to feel mercy for the idiot who sealed his own fate, but likewise, as a Christian, I pray that he get right with God, confess his sins, and work out his salvation.

I also, as a Christian, would not blanche at him serving a life sentence, thus keeping his psychopathic evil away from any other innocent people.

450 It must be so f--ing hard to be black in America --

- You can strive for success, but everyone will assume it was affirmative action.
- You can be the best citizen and patriot, but you know that you will forever be associated with the 13/52 statistic
- You can try to raise a good family, but your kids will be drawn to that victimhood and resentment ideology
- Send you kid to white school and they are outsiders, send them to black school and they are held down, mostly by the SEIU

And worst of all, most of the problem is coming from inside their own tent -- for other blacks trying to profit from victimhood and corruption. Man, there has to be a better solution.

459 "Karim Khan has been suspended from his prosecutorial post by the governmental oversight mechanism known as the Bureau of the ICC Assembly of States Parties (ASP)," Professor Bayefsky said.

According to her, "The wild story of the world’s lead criminal prosecutor being a criminal himself is not just about one rotten apple. Diplomatic sources have leaked the ASP Bureau's decision. Evidently, UN investigators have described the excruciating details provided by the victim, which include allegations of rape, as 'non-consensual sexual interactions.' The entire ICC machine let the process to hold Khan to account drag on for two years after his misconduct was first reported."

In addition, "ICC judges decided that Khan’s efforts to criminalize Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant were not tainted by the clear evidence that Khan was trying desperately to use his attack on Israelis to save himself. Khan and his media and legal teams even went so far as to suggest that the Muslim victim - who was very supportive of his arrest warrant campaign against Israelis - was working for the Mossad."

The role of the Church is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As Mass recently, the prayer of the faithful was "to the civil authorities, that they feed the poor."

I see this BS everywhere. Even here on this page I see people saying they can employ lethal force against someone simply trespassing on their land or tapping them on their chest.

No, you don't get to kill someone walking across your land. No, you don't get to unleash every level of lethal force just because someone taps you on the chest, even if they're yelling in your face.

No. By definition it is for those who do NOT deserve it. Otherwise it wouldn't be mercy.

But, mercy is not the the state's jurisdiction, except possibly the pardon power. It has nowhere to rightly exist within the judicial branch. And it should not be a part of any sentencing. The purpose of government is to enact justice.

I pray God has mercy on his soul and draws Karmello totally unto Himself. But we, as the people, need to see justice done, or there is no justice.

568 563 Kathe Kollwitz was a German communist lithographer and designer before the 1940's Germany, and her greatest fury was that her work was used for supporting the Spanish Nationalist propaganda for Spanish and international support.
She was a good lithographer too, very sculpture oriented for a lithographer. She reminds me much of Rodin and Henry Moore in style if not in subject

569 This was never about race but Karmelo Anthony's family and his attorneys made sure to insert race into this to ramp this up as far as they could to try and alter the verdict. Shame on all of them and the thugs that they made sure were there.

I've read that Austin Metcalf's coach as well as some of his teammates were black and testified on Austin's behalf for the Prosecution. I have not verified this.

No Austin supporters should be in that crowd. it is madness to do so and is pointless.

574 Following thousands of community complaints, GoFundMe completely removed the Anthony family's secondary campaign page. Per platform terms, GoFundMe chose to proactively refund all money collected on their system back to the donors.
------
As the main campaign on GiveSendGo scaled past $450,000 to $600,000, the platform's Trust & Safety team froze the funds.

GiveSendGo's co-founder confirmed they held the cash until the family could explicitly clarify the use of the funds so that donors "can be confident in how their donation is being used."

The largest surge of refund demands occurred after Karmelo Anthony requested a court-appointed public defender, citing financial hardship. Backers who gave money explicitly to secure "top-tier legal representation" felt intentionally misled when the family shifted the financial burden to taxpayers while simultaneously increasing their fundraising goal to $1.4 million.

When video evidence at trial overwhelmingly disproved a 'race' narrative—showing a localized dispute over a stadium seat—many donors claimed they were manipulated into contributing.

Everyone isn't awful but some parents and other family members can be.

Thank you for the information.

I found that a person convicted of manslaughter would face exactly a range of 2 to 20 years in prison.

And, as you wrote, in Texas, if a jury finds a person guilty of 2nd-degree murder but determines the crime was committed under the immediate influence of "sudden passion," the charge is reduced to a 2nd-degree felony, carrying a punishment of 2 to 20 years.

A death and so many lives affected for the worse.

These terrible lessons need to be taken to the classrooms while the kids are still kids, imo, and as a parent. Don't coddle them or ignore them.

Note: The NFL requires all incoming recruits to complete the mandatory Rookie Transition Program (formerly the Rookie Symposium) as well as year-round orientation sessions to educate them on personal and professional responsibilities because most are not learning such responsibilities while growing up.

Former Platner Campaign Aide: Captain Nazi Is a Monster and More Women Have Come Forward

Believe all women.

Not this woman, mind you, and not the women who have come forward with new accusations against Gerald Platner.

Believe all women who concoct a Law & Order: SVU pantomime allegation about Trump raping their scrawny Crypt Keeper ass in a changing room in a year TBD. Believe that woman.

Ex-Graham Platner campaign director says embattled Maine Dem 'shouldn't be a US senator': 'My concerns have only grown'

Graham Platner's ex-political director expressed her growing concern about the embattled Maine Democrat in a Washington Post op-ed Monday, arguing that her former boss "'shouldn't be a US senator."
"I quit the campaign in October, disturbed by what I learned about the candidate and concerned about his potential impact on the Democratic Party's prospects in my home state," Genevieve McDonald wrote. "As Tuesday's primary arrives, I want to make clear what transpired since August and why my concerns have only grown."

McDonald argued that Platner "exhibits a pattern of dishonest behavior that is impossible to ignore."

"Despite being exposed by a series of scandals beginning last October, he kept assuring voters and the Democratic Party that there were no more skeletons in his closet," she continued. "Then more emerged -- the latest, in recent days, have involved former girlfriends' serious accusations of physical mistreatment."
McDonald described herself as "one of the Platner campaign's first gaslighting casualties," claiming the candidate and his campaign dismissed her concerns about his Nazi tattoo and electability.
"I was willing to believe his explanations, I wanted to believe, until his flaws as a candidate became impossible to ignore," she wrote.
McDonald said she "realized the campaign had not been honest" when reports on Platner's disturbing Reddit post history started to surface.

She claims the Platner campaign offered her "$15,000 to sign a nondisclosure agreement," after her resignation, which she refused to do so, and that "over the past eight months, women have come to me with their own disturbing stories about Platner."
"Enough is enough," McDonald wrote.
...
Platner, a Marine veteran and former oyster farmer, has faced numerous controversies since launching his campaign, including the sexting scandal and Reddit posts he made downplaying sexual assault, mocking soldiers and contending that white Americans "actually are" racist and stupid, among others.

...
McDonald urged Democrats to "demand better from those entrusted with power or seeking it."

Maine Democrats are having concerns about the Nazi-tattooed woman-beating socialist violent revolutionary, on the day of the Maine primary.

Strong work, guys. Give yourselves all a bonus.

Platner's continued drumbeat of scandals has divided both Democratic Party leaders and voters as they stare down the must-win Senate race. Defeating Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November is crucial to the party's plans to take back control of the upper chamber and provide a check on President Donald Trump. But even as Platner's staunch supporters stick with him, his political baggage is threatening to sink him with some Democratic and independent voters heading into the general election, according to interviews with nearly two dozen Maine voters.
Several Democratic voters were hesitant to weigh in on the Senate race, saying they felt Platner's candidacy was all but certain at this point and sharing their opinion on him was likely to be met with backlash. Others who were planning to vote Democratic in November are now toying with backing Collins or sitting out the Senate race entirely -- a challenge for the likely nominee and his party.
Peter and Kelly Dufour were manning the grill at a Get-Out-the-Vote event for gubernatorial candidate Hannah Pingree in Portland on Saturday and excited about the former Democratic state House speaker's candidacy for governor. Asked about the Senate race, Kelly put her head in her hands.

Wow, they're too afraid to speak out against Gerald Platner? And they claim those of us who mostly defend Trump against the mostly-absurd communist propaganda allegations against Trump are "cultists."

So we're cultists for Trump? The most successful Republican president since Reagan (and some would say before that)?

But meanwhile you're cultists for an unemployed and frankly unemployable Fake Oyster Farmer born on third base but who has oozed his way down to the non-working class, beating women and ranting on the internet 24/7?

I think I'd rather be a cultist for the guy with actual accomplishments.

TRUTH NUKE: Scott Jennings on Graham Platner: �Only one person had a Nazi tattoo and has chosen to lie about it. He roots for American military deaths. He mocks r*pe victims. He deems rural Americans. He�s been abusive to women. I mean, this is what Democrats are signing off on.� pic.twitter.com/yt48N4PJ7m
— RedWave Press (@RedWavePress) June 7, 2026

Graham Platner created the website for his Senate campaign before he created the website for his fake oyster business. The WhoIs records are indisputable.

His mom is the only customer of his oyster hobby, and judging by the number of liens, she�s had filed against her for unpaid� https://t.co/NXdx9chlxP
— Steve Robinson (@SteveRob) June 6, 2026

Richard Hanania
@RichardHanania
�
Josh Barro on Platner:
"Graham Platner doesn't work for a living. As The New York Times reports, the bulk of his income comes from a military disability pension of approximately $60,000 a year. The pension doesn't mean he's too disabled to work -- he is, after all, currently seeking the job of U.S. Senator -- but his recent non-campaign endeavors seem more like hobbies than a career. He runs an oyster farm that principally sells oysters to his mother's restaurant. He earned a small stipend as his town's harbor master: $3,000 last year. He lives in a $205,000 house that he bought with a $200,000 loan from his father."
What a resume.

Steve Robinson
@SteveRob
Graham Platner is the downwardly mobile offspring of Maine's upper class.
The people he knows working "3-4 jobs" --if any -- are like him: fake job as an oyster farmer, fake job as a harbor master, fake job at an NGO, etc.
His only real job is paramilitary training for Trantifa in Maine.

Maine is a big early vote state.

Platner's coasting to victory, the only question is how big of a victory.

I'd like to see him just over 50%. Enough to short-circuit the RCV in the primary, but also low enough to show that the party is really split on him.

Purely for the lulz as the establishment shifts into high gear to unite around him.

40 First poll after the Platner controversy from Tavern Research shows declining popularity, still leading the race against Susan Collins but underperforming Mills.

Interestingly and strangely absent from the tweet is Mills' favorability which is worse than Collins' or Platner's. Mills has -20 favorability.

looks worse for Collins when she can’t even beat him here. I figure she won’t go to a debate with Platner because she would look and sound like a deer in headlights

If Mills wasn’t 78 I’d be completely fine with her, but she’s seventy fucking eight.

Trump 2.0 is killing Collins. Roe V Wade, the BBB, the recent ICE funding bill and so many other instances of rubber stamping Orange Man's BS. She can't pretend to be fair and independent anymore.

If Platner gets elected he will be the 38th worst person in the chamber. I’m not thrilled it’s going to be him but at this point it’s whatever. At least he’s not a republican

If Platner was the exact same dude only he was a valueless MAGA shill, the press wouldn't waste time on him. But he blames our problems on the rich instead of on immigrants, so he gets to be the main character

50 If Platner gets elected he will be the 38th worst person in the chamber. I’m not thrilled it’s going to be him but at this point it’s whatever. At least he’s not a republican

This might be true honestly. Hell between the Dems and GOPs he might even be...better then average.

Collins was probably going to win by 20.

With Platner on the ballot, she'll probably win by 30.

She won in 2014 by 40.

52 Twenty quatloos the Democrats will shiv Platner a while after the primary and before the state's deadline for a party replacing a candidate. Platner will be caused to know pressure from forces beyond his control. Maybe they'll give him a decent booby prize to get him out without a fuss and to keep out of sight until December. PR problem quietly resolved, with World Cup and more Trump is a dictator news as the cover. Who the Dems run, I don't know. Gov. Mills, I suppose.

If Platner does win, but then drops out for some mysterious reason, then the Dems in the State can apparently just go ahead and pick who they want to run.

This IS their effort to shiv him.

The problem is if they go nuclear on him (I very much don't think this is the worst against him, not by a longshot, I assume he's been proven guilty of murder while working for Blackwater or something), then the base nationally won't donate as much.

They'll breathe a sigh of relief after Collins unloads on him in July, killing his candidacy because they can't do it themselves. Then the party can distance themselves from him ("We didn't know!"), and send all the money they raised off of him to NC instead.

And. Here. We. Go.

The Democratic Party isn't the Mafia. They don't hold cities hostage against their will. Sure - they rig elections - including the Presidential in 2020. And they need about 45% of the popular vote to win in places like NYC and Boston and anywhere in New Jersey and Baltimore and now Atlanta and Milwaukee and such. San Antonio will be there soon.

The "Left" is somewhere 1/3 and 2/5 of the general population. They are your neighbor. They serve on your school board. They are on your police force. Your fire department. Hell ... they coach your little league teams.

Your Neighbors crave that power. Grok that.

Cheating on his wife and doing drugs aren't in and off themselves enough to get him to drop out. Hell, even being gropey and hitting on teens.

I assume the point of all this is to tell him they have evidence of something worse so he should "decide to spent time with his family" now while the getting out is good.

Most of those leftists still think that Rittenhouse killed three blacks and was guilty of crossing state lines. Leftist media and online posts have little if nothing to do with actual cases, law, and facts, but rather indicate their Law and Order scripts for what they wanted to happen.

Posted by: Jackson K. at June 09, 2026 03:00 PM (RjWJE)

Serious question ? Then here's a serious answer. It's three things, I think.

1 - look at a picture from space. Draw that line from Baltimore to Philly to NYC to Boston. Its completely urban. A huge swath of land completely city. No room for individual rights. Its collective by nature. And every State crossed by that line ? They have to dance to the tune of that urban collective. NYC is not New York State. Much like Illinois is not Chicago.

2 - Quaker and Protestant. This really is baked into their culture. They are scolds by nature. By DNA.

3 - And this really is 1. They have existed, since the Revolution, by being subsidized. The SALT deduction floats them all on the rest of our backs. Pure and simple.

Because its not just the Left. We are seeing, in real time, a shift in paradigms. Of this I am sure.

We've shifted from "trust the Expert". As in, if your doctor says cut off a toe - you pay to cut off the toe. Being a doctor up until about '90 surely had to be a license to steal. Same for a bunch of other "credentialed" lines of work.

Then we went to "trust the cop, trust the soldier". Again, dumb. Anybody can apply, pass, and wear a uniform. But trust was placed - in a Pavlovian manner - to these authority figures.

Which all comes down to this. Society is still lurching at groups they think they can trust. Here's the Spoiler Alert - no group can be trusted. Because all groups are just Man. And Man is a greedy, shifty Son of a Bitch.

233 Remember John Kerry?

Two things come to mind:
#1 - Back then, the Swift Boat Vets had a lot of bad things to say about Kerry's actions in the military. Platner served, but where are the character witnesses who served with him? Either pro or con?

#2 - Kerry got 'wounded' multiple times; some supposedly from his own stupidity, and was able to leave Vietnam early. Now, Platner has a disability pension, a pretty large one. How was it earned? And if it was earned from his military work, then how did he continue as a mercenary (apparently with Blackwater)?

This is the dumbest shit ever.

Black kid murders white kid. Admits to the act. Goes to court and is found guilty of murder.

Riot, why? Because he's black? He took another person's life for no viable reason whatsoever.

Save your rioting for when the Cowboys win a championship.

The SPLC Repeatedly Invokes the Fifth Amendment to Avoid Answering Whether They Used Donor Money to Pay "Extremists" to Put On "Hate" Marches, Burn Crosses, and Recruit New Members

I say he invoked the Fifth Amendment, which he did. But the words he kept using were "We will address those allegations in court." In other words, I will not answer questions for which I will be held criminally responsible in another court.

That's his right, but:

1, why are people allowed to invoke the Fifth without explicitly invoking the Fifth? I bet you Democrats would demand to know what basis a witness has for refusing to answer.

and,

2, he's a fucking criminal, he knows he broke the law, and this is not some kind of principled invocation of the Fifth. He's guilty and his answers would either confirm his guilty or deny it, which would be obstruction of Congress because he'd be lying.

Here's some of his repeated refusal to aswer on the basis that he will be answering these questions in criminal court.

A lot of money, and some bodily fluids, flowed from the SPLC to their "informants."

House Judiciary GOP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@JudiciaryGOP
🚨 A SPLC informant had a romantic relationship with a SPLC employee.
That same employee oversaw field sources.
They shared a home.
They held joint bank accounts.
And 66% of the funds in those accounts came from the SPLC.

He refuses to answer directly when asked if the SPLC advised Biden which groups to weaponize the government against. He claims he consulted with "every administration."

Really? Trump too? Smells like a lie told to Congress under oath.

SPLC Interim President squirms when asked basic yes or no question by @RepMcClintock.

MCCLINTOCK: During the Biden Admin, did the Department of Justice seek SPLC�s guidance on determining political groups to target?

This son of a bitch contributed heavily to the Assassination Prep against Charlie Kirk, which wound up with one of the SPLC's Murder-Bots killing him.

He is unapologetic and retains the SPLC's Murder Advisory against TPUSA.

CEO of the SPLC, Bryan Fair, confirms to Rep. Chip Roy that the disgraced org stands by its May 2025 decision to add TPUSA to its "Hate Map."

Badge of honor. Screw the SPLC. pic.twitter.com/6qYboVpWcw

He repeatedly refused to apologize for inciting people to murder Charlie Kirk. As Rep. Issa alludes, the SPLC put the Family Research Council on their Hate Map sixteen years ago, and a leftist assassin shot up the place.

SPLC President gets humiliated; room erupts in laughter.

Chip Roy: How many Islamic extremist groups do you have listed on your hate map out of the 1500 groups? I can�t seem to find one.

SPLC President: We don�t target groups based on their religion. It�s based on what they say� pic.twitter.com/VqY1kZVYeJ

Again, why are witnesses allowed to take the Fifth in a Congressional hearing? It's not a criminal court. When they're subpoenaed, they should be obligated to cough up the facts.

Yes, they can be referred to the DOJ based on their testimony, but that's a different branch, different venue.

Yep. SPLC is probably finished as even Fidelity has cut them off from donor directed gifts. Which also makes it harder for Ossof and the Dems cheat machine in Fulton as the SPLC, ACLU, and Fulton County election officials are as intertwined as can be there with the SPLC and ACLU being given the job of supplying poll workers through the likes of Stacy Abrams and even having real time access to state voter registration databases and incoming early and absentee voting tallies.

I think the answer may be there is already a pending criminal indictment against SPLC. Some of the questions were read right from the indictment.

Fuck these motherfuckers in particular.

These motherfuckers were slandering a whole class of people based on nothing more than a competing political ideology, painting targets on my kids' backs based on nothing more than the color of their skin, while yucking it up and palling around with power mad leftists, as if this was all some sort of game.

He got forced out years ago for Me Tooism and the organization picked up and moved to Atlanta for the most part. Basically the Blacks were tired of Whitey Dees running the grift and forced him out in part because Dees was milking the organization and stashing funds out of the country.

Dees ran it as a grifting business more than as a political one targeting a certain demographic of Northerners for funds.

Mobsters tried it, you can't avoid it if Congress is willing to subpoena and enforce it. And the Trump DoJ is certainly willing to do that.

The House alone can bring the whole thing down.

Refuse to pass a budget, or pass something like a 1914 budget, and then refuse anything else.

Not a thing that the Senate or the Presidency can do to counter it within the legal, political sphere.

But that doesn't happen because the House doesn't want it to be that way. Whatever reason it is (inertia, laziness, IC corruption, all of the above), Congress could be real powerful if it chose to be. It just chooses not to be.

So, the executive is left with all the levers of power, and our side hasn't had access to those levers since the 80s.

Yep. This has been coming for a while. I think ... I'm pretty sure ... US Military Doctrine is fundamentally fucked for a bit.

We got into the idea of the Abrams and Apache and such because we were truly outnumbered against the Soviets. So we had to have super-weapons. Stuff that - regardless of cost - could pull of 10/1 kill ratios. Because that was our only chance against the Red Menace.

Well. Now the game has changed. Because the cost to bring one of our super-weapons down is much, much cheaper than our cost of building one.

This is a problem.

This Bryan Fair dummy was probably put in place as camouflage.

Dees was forced out a couple of years ago by a restive new generation at SPLC that felt they weren't getting enough of the dough.

Actually, I do. There are some very good technical people from the USSR days who ended up in Ukraine, along with their skills and their weapons factories. I remember a very interesting piece on their tech written about a year and a half ago, detailing how the Ukrainians had set up an information pipeline from the frontlines to the tech developers as to effectiveness and requirements. And that while most field recommendations take years before it translates into a new design, the Ukrainians had set up a system where field recommendation to design change happened on a 2 week timeframe.

they're on something like their 20th generation of drone tech already, which could never have happened without the pressure of being in a war that you're almost losing.

203 > AH-64 Apache....
AU.S. Navy uncrewed surface vessel (USV) found and rescued the crew of a U.S. Army Apache that went down overnight near the Strait of Hormuz, in the Gulf of Oman. This is the first known use of a drone boat executing a personnel recovery action as part of a military search and rescue operation, and it’s likely a glimpse of what’s to come. The cause of the incident is otherwise under investigation.
------------
A U.S. official told Axios an investigation “determined that an Iranian drone hit the helicopter, causing it to crash. The U.S. official said the investigation had not determined whether that was intentional.”
========
Using a slow flying drone on a helicopter would be about the only flying target it could hit. If it was intentional. The Apache's have been known to shoot down a variety of IRGC drones, but it is considered very risky to do so because of the potential for an air-to-air collision.

The only interesting part of the Ukraine war is the tech development, since drone tech has had about 100 years of advancement in the last 4, thanks to that battlefield. You're correct, high value weapons are now extremely vulnerable to low cost attacks, and although there will be countermeasures eventually, what they will be is not apparent yet.

Posted by: Tom Servo at June 09, 2026 02:05 PM (edUvp)

If you dig deep enough into old articles on The War Zone site, you'll learn that the Iranian/Russian Shahed drone is a copy of a long-ago German-designed anti-radar site drone design that was shared with the US. Also you'll learn that a few years before Putin invaded, the US was training Ukrainian Army drone operators.

The US didn't have the need the Ukrainans, Iranians, and Russians had to turn to large-scale use of cheap drones as weapons. Until recently.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Anti-drone measures are the new necessity, as Tom noted.

For better or worse, Trump is laser focused on the nuclear material retrieval and is not willing to go much beyond that. Regime overthrow internally is simply not going to happen in the short run but without nuclear potential, Iranian threats can be contained even by the other Arab countries with the US as a backstop.

Israel's calculus is a bit different, they want to take out as much of their enemies that are directly adjacent to them as they can before peace/binding ceasefire arrives in one form or another. Even if we leave with the nuke materials, Israel knows it will still be a target absent the IRGC being totally overthrown.

That is the conflict and anyone dreaming of US forces putting boots on the ground to overthrow the IRGC is smoking crack. Trump nor the American people favor that period nor is our army set up for it. Putting US troops in kill boxes like Kharg Island etc. is also a no go as eventually some people are going to get killed even by simple old rockets, etc.

Destroying Iran's oil facilities/bridges etc. is what Trump has as leverage which is why he is playing it cool.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Karmelo verdict - the defense put on one of the worst performances I can remember, it was pathetic. But there's no accounting for what a jury will do.

Btw, it's only an "all white" jury if you say that Asians and Hispanics are "white".

And that is where the courts have made a mess of things along with statutory law. States that have moved to guilty but insane verdicts allow killers to be permanently incarcerated for a long stretch at state mental institutions for the criminally insane. Frankly, M'Naughton's rule has been destroyed by technology today and the fact that forced medication can alleviate some of these people's insanity but when released, they inevitably, quit their medication and resume their street life criminal behavior.

Incapacitating those unable to restrain themselves from violent criminal behavior is a key requisite of law and not doing so by opening the doors to the asylums has killed/maimed a lot of innocent people including other street people.

Locking them up for good is probably the best bet but the humane part is making sure it is a mental health facility where treatment is made rather than untrained personnel in prison trying to do it.

He is a juvenile and due to Justice Kennedy's horrendous CJ decisions where he was the deciding vote (like invalidating Louisiana's death penalty for child rapists, and forestalling capital punishment, then even life in prison for underage criminals) cannot be locked up in prison without a chance for release. Anyone under 18 cannot be locked up in prison without a chance of parole/release (retroactive actually) nor put to death no matter how awful the crimes they commit are. That is the mess that Scotus has done to criminal law recently and thank god Kennedy is off the court.

He is the sort that within a year of any release, he will be back in prison for some other violent crime.

Same as Iryni's killer did. Progression of violent crimes that eventually killed someone.

And I guarantee you once the trial is over, all the past warning flags of Karmelo's past are going to come out for sentencing. Not considered relevant for trial but I suspect a long chain of uncharged or hidden juvie records sudden pop up.

Murderers by and large don't snap--that is the conceit of movies and tv. In reality, they apprentice themselves to the criminal lifestyle until ready for the big dirty deed. Some never become violent, just career burglars, sneak thieves, shoplifters, car boosters, etc.

Others, particularly the stupid ones, like to be street thug ganstas with violent crimes as that is the only way they feel they can get 'respect' is by being feared.

MAID as far as Canada runs it, goes after the innocent who are depressed which rarely results in violence. Those with mental illness that do commit violent crimes would be the last to volunteer to die in most cases. Most of those achieve that via suicide by cop or spree killings and then unaliving themselves. The dregs left are often the ones that cling to this world that they will leave claw marks on the floor screaming as they are dragged off to Hell.

Microsoft is a dying relic of a company like Adobe is that is now intent on milking every single bit of profit before rolling over and corporate death occurring. I think both of them think AI is going to do in their markets and so they will try to keep those subscriptions of kept customers and milk them for as long as they can.

I think Apple is a better long term bet than MS quite frankly and if you noticed just recently the eternal MS Office license for the Mac 2019 was just terminated by Microsoft to reduced functionality. So people buying the perpetual license in 2019 find that Microsoft is revoking it in 2026 to force them into the subscription model for Office.

I think more people might do that except Linux itself is a mess for people that just want to turn on a computer and have it work perfectly. A huge number of choices often end up in analysis paralysis. And you have to be careful what to pick for peripherals to work well with Linux which most people have no idea how to do so.

Linux still has a problem with drivers and its compatibility with MS Office is just enough off that it can create problems. For the unsophisticated, I think Apple Macs are the better bet despite being expensive and Crapple using their gated garden techniques to make everything much more expensive than it needs to be.

For better or worse, Apple still makes its money as a hardware company rather than software which means forcing upgraded hardware at some point. Linux lets you use even back to 486/386 or earlier machines that really still function but are technologically antique.

Linux is just now getting rid of kernal inclusion and updates for these 25-30 year old machines. But as a result, Linux is still mainly for geeks .

313 Asked AI Overview the following -

SPLC gave data to what administrations for consideration?

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has historically provided research, intelligence, and data on domestic extremist and hate groups to multiple local, state, and federal law enforcement and government agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Specifically, the extent and target of this data sharing has been heavily scrutinized by different presidential administrations:

The Biden-Harris Administration (2021–2025): The SPLC reportedly worked closely with the Department of Justice (DOJ) during the Biden administration. Records have indicated that the DOJ's Civil Rights Division partnered with the SPLC, holding regular meetings, providing the organization with access to certain federal law enforcement data, and allowing SPLC employees to train DOJ prosecutors.

The Trump Administration: The SPLC's data-sharing relationships with the federal government were severed or faced intense opposition during the Trump administration.

314 "Going back 55 years to its founding in 1971, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) maintained extensive data-sharing and collaborative relationships with federal law enforcement during Democratic administrations, while facing stark friction, severed ties, or active opposition under Republican administrations.

According to SPLC legal filings and federal indictments, the group's "Klanwatch" (later renamed the Intelligence Project) began a secret program in the 1980s that paid field informants to infiltrate violent extremist groups. The data gathered from this project was fed into federal channels across several eras:" ((It went through the administrations & ended with:

The deep-seated integration established during the Clinton and Obama years directly set the stage for the political whiplash that followed. Increased conservative backlash led the FBI to slowly distance its public-facing material from the SPLC. This culminates in the ongoing legal battles, where the SPLC's defense hinges on the fact that federal law enforcement across multiple decades - including the FBI - was fully aware of and benefited from the group's undercover informant data to secure criminal convictions.

Invasion: Sudanese Colonist Uses Knife to Slash Open the Eyeballs of Northern Irish Man, Attempts to Saw His Head Off on Street in Broad Daylight

The country that fought a civil war for a hundred years to resist colonization by Britons is apparently cool with colonization by black Islamic Africans.

Do you feel Culturally Enriched?

Belfast attack: Sudanese man arrested over stabbing 'had leave to remain'
Victim has 'significant' eye injuries from attack that bystanders stopped -- the city is now braced for protests

A Sudanese man arrested over a knife attack in Belfast on Monday is understood to have been granted leave to remain in Northern Ireland, the police have said.
The man, initially believed by police to be Somali but later confirmed as Sudanese, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after officers were called to Kinnaird Avenue at about 10.30pm on Monday.
Video of the attack appeared to show a man with a knife holding another man down on the ground, before bystanders intervened. One of them hit the attacker over the head with a hurling stick. The victim, who is in his forties, had "significant" eye injuries, Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said.

Yeah he cut out his eyes. This is cultural enrichment.

Asked about the suspect's immigration status, Henderson said: "My understanding is that the individual came into Northern Ireland from Dublin, moving up, and then was granted leave to remain."

Northern Ireland remains part of the UK so this is once again all due to Two-Tier Queer Keir and the British Islamo-Labour establishment.

Police are not seeking anyone else over the attack and at this stage is not deemed terror-related, Henderson said.

Of course not! But later on you will see that the "authorities" (who have no remaining authority) were immediately capable of judging planned protests for tonight as "far right."

Their capacity to detect ideology is highly selective.

...
Henderson said he shared "the public's revulsion at the attack', which he said had "sent shockwaves through communities".

Sure. The people in power attempting to convince the peons to accept this as normal and mainstream -- and racist to object to -- are "revolted" by the newest apocalyptic violence they've engineered.

The suspect is believed to have travelled from Sudan to Paris, then to Dublin, on unknown dates before taking a bus to Belfast in February 2023 where he immediately claimed asylum. He was given leave to remain in the UK in September 2023, according to Jon Boutcher, chief constable of Northern Ireland. He said his status when crossing the Irish border was still to be determined but that "lawyers will debate the legal status of this individual for weeks, months and even years to come".

The police who can't identify any ideological motive immediately sprang to label those who don't want to be invaded by bloodthirsty savages as "toxic."

Boutcher accused "faceless" people online who know nothing of Northern Ireland of causing "toxic" discourse that was inciting violence. The first minister, Michelle O'Neill, echoed his thoughts and called on people to reject "sectarianism" and violence.
In London, the Conservatives have demanded "total transparency" on the immigration status of the suspect. Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said: "Last night's brutal attempted beheading in Belfast is appalling. The government must ensure full details about the suspect's nationality and immigration status are released. Total transparency is required.
"If it turns out this man is an illegal immigrant it would provide further evidence that the government's lack of border control is endangering the public."
Hilary Benn, the Northern Ireland secretary, would not comment on the suspect's immigration status. He appealed for calm, adding it was "innocent people who suffer" when political leaders failed to reduce tensions.

And don't worry about the people having their eyes slashed open by a foreign invader. The only thing that bothers them is "backlash" against the violent foreign invaders. The forelash is accepted and even praised as "cultural enrichment."

He also paid tribute to the bystanders who intervened to pull the assailant away, saying they represented "the very best of humanity".

I'm sure he's very happy about this. He got civilians to do the police's job for them. The police are too busy harassing people over tweets.

...
Anti-immigration protesters have sought to capitalise on the incident by calling for a mass protest in Belfast on Tuesday evening. An online message of unknown origin has widely circulated on social media calling for men over 18 to arrive wearing dark clothing and to be "prepared to fight or be arrested".
A version of the post circulating on X called for "road closures and businesses to close in protest over the migrant invasion of Northern Ireland". Politicians in Northern Ireland warned that the incident may be hijacked by far-right activists.

Belfast is going crazy tonight over the recent attempted beheading by a migrant.
Every Irishman I know in Belfast is taking place in riots later today. Prots and Catholic together bizarrely.
The UK gov are scrambling to bring in riot police. Irish patriots are telling every white businesses to close their doors early tonight.
Expect to see some crazy videos in a few hours. The city is going to burn

Well, as we were told in the US, to compel us to accept BLM riots as moral and good: "Riots are the voice of the unheard."

The people of the UK are unheard, so they're entitled to riot, according to all the people, including the current government of the UK, who justified BLM riots.

57 I did some research into the evidence in the Karmelo Anthony trial. It really was a cold-blooded murder. Everything the media told you was a lie.

Anthony was not "attacked." Even his own defense witnesses admitted he instigated and escalated the confrontation. Metcalf wasn't involved in the beginning. Anthony was told over and over by other kids in that school to leave the tent. He refused and got belligerent. Metcalf repeatedly said "I'm not going to fight you."

Anthony was never "surrounded" or threatened. He had multiple opportunities to leave the tent in peace.

Anthony didn't just reach in to the backpack and pull out the knife. He fumbled around in the backpack trying to find it. A small but important fact because it suggests there was no imminent threat (or else he wouldn’t have had time to find the knife).

There is some testimony that Metcalf's back was turned -- and thus no threat at all -- when Anthony pulled out the knife. The testimony also suggests that Anthony "sucker-knifed" Anthony when his back was turned. If this is true ... wow.

Honestly, as I get older, the more I think shit like this should come with the death penalty. Someone that does something like this cannot be rehabilitated.

Denmark is a good example for Europe. Once welcoming, their current left-wing Gov tightened up their criteria. Various tools now available, including off-shore processing, more rejection, less appeals, and even offering arrivals very good money to return back to their home countries, which is taken up.

According to reports this guy came through Dublin and given right to remain in Ireland. No doubt the checks were thorough...

We can't get proper mental health support for our own children. How are we ment to help these people? We can't and we won't. They'll just walk amongst us until they snap.

The IRA from the time of the Troubles is either long dead or dying. But there's a younger generation of antifa-like IRA that could cause trouble. I think the Irish are the most neutered of all in the UK, though. All the good ones left a long time ago. The modern Ireland -- especially in the north -- is like Scotland: heavy unemployment, heavy reliance on the dole, heavy drinking and drug use.

_________

I'm not an expert on TX homicide law, but it's standard practice to include a lesser offense like manslaughter in a murder case. And yes, it gives the jury an option to find him guilty if the jury -- or at least one member of the jury -- isn't sure that Anthony deliberately tried to kill Metcalf.

And that's the critical issue: did Anthony specifically intend to outright kill Metcalf? There's no doubt he intended to stab Metcalf.

But intentional murder is a very specific and heightened sense of mental culpability. Anything that tends to negate that -- self-defense, heat-of-moment, etc -- would knock the offense down to manslaughter.

Once a massive crisis occurs, whether inside the country or outside, then the rest of the collapse occurs a lot faster than slower. And ironically, democratically elected governance switches gears far faster than authoritative ones which is why the left is trying to destroy elections in every country aided perhaps by the CIA/AID complex skullbuggery. The strongest form of government is democratic authoritarianism where the people and rulers are united in destroying a threat (e.g. UK in WWII), despotism, ironically, is brittle and often falls apart under such stress.

But I think the wealthy layabout nepots are the ones funding this shit, buying off the politicians, and spending money to bring these Muzzie invaders in, so that things will get so bad that the rule of aristocrats will return in Euroland and elsewhere. And the aim of the EU is to become a polygot empire looking East for resources.

It's not really a question of "belief." An example: a guy walks into a bar and opens fire with a machine gun. Just sprays auto fire all over the bar. Obviously he knows that shooting people with a machine gun will kill them.

But if the guy doesn't have the very specific intent to deliberately kill any person in the bar, he's technically not guilty of "Murder One" or whatever is the highest degree of murder. He would be guilty of a lesser offense, of course.

Criminal law often turns on very nuanced and vague mental states.

Arabs are raiders and pillagers but cowards in a real fight. That is seen even in some of the demonstrations recently in the UK where Muzzie counter protesters get their ass handed to them when they try to start something.

Defeat is never inevitable as you seem to think, it is a choice as has been amply proven by history. Losing is a choice, surrendering is a choice, and itinerant goat f*ckers are not the awe inspiring warriors that too many people here think they are.

I think it’s going to be manslaughter and we will have outrage as a result. I think this kid was trying to be thug, I think he meant to stab, but did not think Metcalf would die. If that happens, I hope he gets the max allowed.

A rational jury could agree with you. It's actually hard to get a "Murder One" conviction unless it's a contract hit, the killer waits in ambush for his victim, or the facts leave no doubt the killer wanted the victim dead.

Whenever there is some evidence -- even a little -- that suggests the killer might not have specific intent to kill, it's usually a manslaughter conviction.

Eastern Europe is starting to buckle as well sadly. Hungary and Poland haven’t quite gone open borders but the borders aren’t quite as closed as they used to be. Romania discovered the joys of cheap African labor with the EU installed president. Give it a decade and the east will catch up with the west.

Data shows that before the district's transformation in the 2022–23 school year, HISD had a combined total of 121 D- and F-rated campuses. Currently, there are only 18 D-rated schools and zero F-rated campuses across the entire district. Meanwhile, the number of A- and B-rated campuses more than doubled, jumping from 93 to 197.

_________

Yes, one step below "Murder One" could be 2nd Degree Murder. It all depends on how the state defines the relative mental states.

In some states, there could be a dozen different "levels" of homicide, from 1D murder, to 2D murder, to 3D murder, to 1D manslaughter, all the way down to negligent homicide.

But it appears the prosecution in this specific case included a "manslaughter" charge, and not a "murder 2" charge. I don't know why they did that as opposed to 2D murder (assuming it's available).

304 Texas statute is a bit harder on murderers.
A person can be convicted of Murder under Texas state law when that person:

Intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an individual;

Intends to cause serious bodily injury and commits an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual;
======
(third and fourth conditions do not apply here as they include drugs and committing murder during a flight from a felony).

Basically, it reminds me of a case where a guy upset at his neighbors for loud partying for months, decides to take a body cam, pistol, and confront the partiers. He kills one person and claims self defense. Jury ruled for murder because the person set up the conditions where he thought someone would confront him so he could reply with lethal force.

Patriots - if you are protesting tonight, in Belfast or elsewhere, do NOT give Starmer what he wants.

Stay calm. Keep your heads. Do NOT attack the police.

The state will show you no mercy.

The dangerous ‘far-right’ will be blamed, and your life will be ruined forever.

It will be that brutal. However angry you are feeling now, it is not worth it.

Protest - but do it loudly, do it peacefully.

If the police are being aggressive, record it. Film it. Do not react. Because you will not be shown the same leniency as the officers. You will be charged, you will be sentenced, you will be imprisoned.

We’re all angry.

But you will achieve far more for our cause and country OUTSIDE of prison.

Yes, one step below "Murder One" could be 2nd Degree Murder. It all depends on how the state defines the relative mental states.

In some states, there could be a dozen different "levels" of homicide, from 1D murder, to 2D murder, to 3D murder, to 1D manslaughter, all the way down to negligent homicide.

But it appears the prosecution in this specific case included a "manslaughter" charge, and not a "murder 2" charge. I don't know why they did that as opposed to 2D murder (assuming it's available).

Texas does not follow the model penal code is why. You have capital murder (not on the table here), murder, and then manslaughter. So no, Karmelo is not being charged with Murder one which is the old model penal code garbage, but rather plain murder, with the lesser included offense of manslaughter to be determined by the jury. Texas Penal Code Section §19.02

In general, Southern states are less generous to people that kill others than the gradations in the Model Penal code provide. Part of that is a long history dealing with murder that was for a long time absent in the North due to demographics and society there.

The Morning Rant

Unions are one of the most corrosive influences in America, and teachers unions (along with government employee unions) are the worst of the bunch. They drive an aggressive progressive agenda into our schools, while sucking state and municipal coffers dry in their never-ending quest for more...more...more. The education of our children is an afterthought. Number one on their agenda is of course more money and less work. Number two is to relegate actual teaching to a few minutes each day, and concentrate on the leftist agenda of racial and gender politics, and above all the denigration of America.

And all of that is protected by their oceans of money extorted from their members.

Except in right-to-work states! And guess what? Mississippi is one of those states. Is it a coincidence that with increased accountability and more important, dissemination of objective data about the success of their schools, that Mississippi rapidly can improve their education outcomes?

Mississippi Proves that More Money Won't Fix Our Schools

Over the past decade, Mississippi has made such progress in fourth-grade reading that people have taken to calling it the “Mississippi miracle.” Mississippi ranked 9th in the country for fourth-grade reading in 2024, up from 49th in 2013, a forty-place climb in a decade, from near the bottom of the table into the top ten.
Mississippi’s fourth graders now read better than their peers in New York, Minnesota, and California -- every one of them a state that spends a great deal more per child than we do. And here is the part the spend-more crowd would rather you did not dwell on. We get those better results on far less money.
Mississippi spends around $12,300 per pupil, one of the five lowest figures in America. New York spends $31,918 -- more than two and a half times as much -- and its children read less well for it. New York, in other words, buys more than two dollars of schooling for every one of ours, and ends up further behind.

Sure, there are issues with correlating money and outcome, because there are confounding variables at work. For instance, it is likely that poorly-performing districts have money thrown at them, so their budgets increase without any improvement in outcomes. But there is a correlation, and more important, there is vast improvement driven by something other than money!

The education of our nation's youth is not an intractable problem, especially because the skills necessary to teach children are not particularly rare or difficult to train. And the reality is that education is a product, just like everything else in an economy, and if the transactions are transparent, with accessible data describing that product, then the consumer -- parents -- can make informed decisions. And the providers -- the schools -- can respond to those market pressures. Only when unions and politicians interfere with those decisions is the basic education of our youth at risk.

Think of a Union strike of nurses. First they can't abandon their patients, those at work when the strike begins are on the floor until the strike ends. How safe are those patients after a 2 or 4 day strike?

Unions are one of the most corrosive influences in America, and teachers unions (along with government employee unions) are the worst of the bunch.

Yep, the purpose of a union is to get people to pay more money for less work. And total protection for the worker that fucks up.

Now, why would we want that setup for any public employee?

Esp. teachers.

Public and Health worker unions should be illegal.

Easier for the state of Mississippi to jerk local school districts around demanding change (like phonics in reading) which are largely rural instead of the institutionalized and politicized large cities in the North and West (and South for that matter) where the focus in on politics and wealth extraction from schools rather than teaching their kids how to read. You rarely see the school activist types and unions in rural districts. They go to where their power and grifting opportunities are the greatest which is why every urban district in this country are largely immune from any state or federal control.

All of those unified districts need to die and be cut into little bailiwicks instead of monstrously big centralized offices. Return to neighborhood schools and neighborhood control and you might get something similar to MS success--keep the big money extraction centralized machines, nothing will work to improve those districts.

And abolish Colleges of Education with a refusal for the Fedgov to pay for them.

Company based unions are probably better than massive national unions. A company union understands that if the company goes down, their jobs are likely to go with it. A national union will burn a company and its workers just to improve bargaining with other companies.

Hostess bankruptcy is an example where a company union might have worked to save their own jobs while the national union was adamant, for fear of precedent, from wage/benefit reductions needed to keep the company from shutdown.

Something similar happened in the WSJ story about US Steel and Nippon acquisition. The local steelworkers bucked the national union and asked Trump to allow Nippon to buy US Steel with the required capital infusion. Now Nippon is building a huge new rolling mill right next to the steel mill to the tune of billions of bucks.

Anyone of average intelligence (or slightly below) can be taught how to read at an early age.

Our brains are practically hard-wired to learn how to read.

The fact that so many children are actively denied this fundamental human skill is just one more form of slavery. They are denied the ability to think for themselves so that whey then become adults they will do what they are told. Especially when it comes to voting.

- Made it illegal to show voter IDs
- Mass mail-in ballots across the state
- Allows people to print ballots at home
- Allows people to register anywhere in the state
- Allows ballot harvesting
- Allows people to register with “IDs” like gym memberships & insurance cards
- Allows people to hand-date ballot envelopes, no postmark required
- Has 853,000 + “ghost voters”
- Sanctuary state that harbors illegal aliens
- Refuses to turn over dirty voter rolls for verification
- Refuses to allow independent signature verification audit
- Refuses to allow ballot inspection audit

This isn’t exactly “subtle.” It’s a blueprint for stealing elections.

The only cure for the invasion of the theater/student government kids is to either a) institute required personality tests to screen out psychopaths, deviants, and sociopaths from office, or b) more realistically reduce the size of the national government to core concerns of threats to the Union and push all other decision making and taxation to the lowest level possible.

77 Sure, there are issues with correlating money and outcome, because there are confounding variables at work. For instance, it is likely that poorly-performing districts have money thrown at them, so their budgets increase without any improvement in outcomes. But there is a correlation, and more important, there is vast improvement driven by something other than money!

Posted by: CBD at 11:00 AM

It's similar to childhood nutrition: a certain amount of childhood nutrition is necessary to allow a person to grow to their full physical and mental potential. Up until that point, you can claim that childhood nutrition is the only important factor for adult attainment.

However, once you are beyond that minimum amount, extra nutrition has almost zero correlation to physical and mental outcomes, to the point that it is irrelevant in an advanced economy.

So too with spending on education. Once you exceed the minimum amount necessary, gains will slow rapidly and eventually cease.

EVERY location in the US is well beyond that minimum amount. When our governments throw more money at education, it is now detrimental because of the perverse incentives it creates.

Viscerally I hate the idea but as someone well acquainted with education, it is needed because too many times, the people in those positions cannot restrain themselves. And likewise the students nowadays. Like bodycams have done to the George Floyd and eternal shit stirring over police actions, once many people are faced with seeing students do awful things in the classroom and shoving that evidence in the face of activists and parents of dindu nuffin students, it might result in safer classrooms for education.

But, the disruptive students have to go from regular classes for education to occur. Even one or two bad apples in a class can sour the entire atmosphere and affect the other students.

If a def isn't willing to testify in his own defense, he shouldn't opt for a tria (at least not a jury trial).

If a def pleads not guilty, a jury expects "to hear his side of the story"-- jury instructions notwithstanding.

On a related topic:

Most trial lawyers have experienced their own witness(es) say something unexpected and unwelcome. Comes with the territory. Careful witness prep helps, but... stuff still happens.

I don't see Karmelo's lawyer(s) as ineffective just because they got a joy buzzer from a witness.

93 70 Teacher's unions are not very strong in the South.

Would you believe that wasn't always true? The Alabama Education Association was, within my own living memory, the 800 lb. gorilla of state politics here, until about the late 80s when Republicans started winning things and the landscape shifted. Now it's the Chamber of Commerce crowd, which has a lot to do with why AL workers get shafted so frequently, but once it was our teacher's union.

Thanks for asking! Rough, unfortunately. Just did my second in-car overnight. The link in my nic is for a GiveSendGo intended to stabilize housing, but I didn't do my research and I can't even touch the funds until next week, which is kinda putting me in a pickle now.

Why yes, my rant earlier does have something to do with the situation.

That said, I'm blessed to have had the positive response I've had, and if I can last long enough to access it I have a shot at more stable housing, which would mean easier to get a better paying job, which would finally put the cycle in a good direction.

But I gotta get there first. And I'm really feeling like God's dog's favorite chew toy lately.

🚨BREAKING:🚨FORMER THUNE STAFFER SAYS RINO SENATE MAJORITY LEADER IS "GLEEFULLY" BLOCKING ALL OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S GOVERNMENT NOMINEES AND APPOINTMENTS - A former staffer of TRUMP HATING RINO Senate Majority Leader John Thune has come forward to claim that Thune is INTENTIONALLY BLOCKING EVERY SINGLE GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP NOMINATES to serve in his administration as a part of Thune's RELENTLESS EFFORT to please his puppet master Mitch McConnell by SABOTAGING our President and undermining him every step of the way. The staffer, who recently RESIGNED IN DISGUST after growing fed up with Thune's every day vulgar personal tirades against President Trump and open STONEWALLING of his agenda, is alleging that his former boss is WORKING HAND IN HAND with Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in attempting to TAKE DOWN the duly-elected President and is even LEVERAGING EXTRA MONEY AND RESOURCES for the re-election campaigns of fellow so-called "Republican" Senators who sign on to his TREASONOUS effort to RESIST The Trump administration.

It is multifaceted which is why solving issues is so difficult. It doesn't help that the rise of Colleges of Education with certification barriers attract the lowest performing college students by k-12 grades and standardized testing results. Unions, especially strong in urban districts, make sure that teachers cannot be fired.

Because billions of dollars are at stake, the political leaders get involved with schools management politicized, political activist groups ensure no school discipline can happen (school to prison pipeline bullshit to coddle criminals like Trayvon or the school mass killers), and so on.

You either have to have charter schools where parents are involved, local neighborhood controlled schooling, etc. and removal of the courts from most standard decisions. If necessary, set up a school court system to weed out students.

And we need to make technical education great again in schools. Too many students in our schools are simply not cut out for further education on a time schedule of k-12 nor rigors of college work.

And this is without even factoring their using their public position to flat out destroy reputations, careers, getting people debanked - effectively turning them into pariahs without effective recourse.

His rep is in the toilet in his home state which may mean an approaching 2028 reelection will cause a change. He is trying the McConnell strategy of throwing the 2026 elections but the election map and the fact that Democrats are going nuts with their candidates is not helping that strategy.

Trump is winning and dragging the decrepit and nasty Senate RINO caucus along despite the Uniparty stall tactic, and making DC politicians into hated critters outside the beltway.

I think they break, because they are at heart cowards, rather than Trump. Get rid of ranked choice voting in 2026 in Alaska, that means Murcow is probably a dead senator walking. Thune, if he doesn't change his attitude, might be walking too. After all, he won by defeating Tom Daschle, Majority Leader for the Dems in SD. It can happen to him too. McConnell is gone, Daines is gone, Lummis is gone, Cassidy is gone, Tillis is gone, Cornyn gone, Ernst is gone, there will be a big shift in the GOP Senate caucus next Congress.

I thought this might be of interest to you, given your interest in literacy education:

I volunteered to be a one-on-one adult literacy mentor. I was surprised to discover that some of my adult literacy students didn't want to learn to read, really.

They wanted help with their medical correspondence-- which I was happy to supply. But it wasn't what I expected.

My late mother was an English teacher. She also volunteered to teach adult lieracy. SHE expected to be helping school dropouts. Instead, almost all of her students were Korean women who had married U.S. servicemen & were eager to learn English as a second language.

Remember a while back some academic idiots were pushing the idea that reading to your children at night was a form of racism because *some* kids didn't have that and it affected them academically.

But as others have pointed out, they have to want to learn.

And honestly, a lot of classrooms and students would be better off if some kids were just removed from class and tossed into the "jungle room" to do whatever.

That's part of it. In the case of a lot of black kids they've been brainwashed to believe they are oppressed victims in a "school to prison pipeline" anyway so to attempt to learn is at best futile and an worst to participate in their own victimization.

187 Let’s not pretend today’s colleges are demanding rigorous work of their students.
Posted by: McLurkerson

Even if they want to in the vast majority of non selective colleges, they cannot. If students cannot read nor write, that constrains what you can do with them. You cannot fix basic innumeracy, lack of language skills, nor disciplinary problems, nor lack of reading in college classes. So, you get some professors that demand as much rigor as college administrators will let them or others that simply wave them through.

But the creation of computer metrics such as advancement to degree by students, failure rate analysis of classes, ready access to a multiplicity of deans of different sorts for customer (student) relations, and DEI concerns make that increasingly difficult.

I was involved in some of that and that is being required by accrediting agencies, state legislatures, and administrators with enormous pressures on professors to pass their students along regardless of learning. And you never get rewarded for teaching--mainly it is for publications and grants because that reflects well on the administrators, not teaching students basics.

193 Mississippi spends around $12,300 per pupil...
New York spends $31,918

About the only confounding factor I see is the question of cost-of-living. What's the cost-of-living in NY vs Mississippi?

Hmmm, here's what the internet says:
Mississippi's index is 87.3 compared to New York’s 125.1.
That works out to about double (it's an index, not regular math, so don't complain to me) the cost of living. So, NY should be spending (all other factors being equal, and assuming pay is most of the cost) about $25,000 per pupil. They're spending 25% more than that.

In the case of murder, the jury must believe, beyond all reasonable doubt, that the defendant "intentionally or knowingly caused the death of another person," namely, Austin Metcalf.
If the jury cannot unanimously believe that, against all reasonable doubt, they may consider a manslaughter charge.

In the case of manslaughter, the jury must believe, beyond all reasonable doubt, that the defendant "recklessly caused the death of another person."

224 Remember the old Westboro "Baptist Church" that used to do loud protests at funerals and things? It was really just one extended family and that's all they actually were. They were greatly aided and abetted by the media which loved having them as a "bad guy" to write about.

The "tell" was when they started calling people having funerals and public gatherings and demanding $10,000 per event to not show up.

Fred Phelps was a lawyer (and failed Democrat political candidate) and took over the nearly defunct church, filling it with his family and cronies, some of which in turn became lawyers. It was all a sue and settle racket. At least one of the family members got out of it and wrote a book about how the racket operated.

248 No, that is at will employment, and it’s a 2 way street. You can be fired for any reason, or no reason (except the wrong reasons like discrimination), and you can quit for any reason, with or without notice. Right to work means you do not have to join a union even if one exists. There is no such thing as a closed shop. However, if a union exists, even if you don’t join, you are still covered by the CBA.

I know that you cannot be forced to join a union or pay dues, but calling it "right to work" is ludicrous.

It is going to take a lot of killing more sacred cows beyond what you propose to 'fix' public education. But one size fits all laws by legislators and executives while being mangled by courts has to stop. Subsidiarity is what I support as the first step and that requires basically recognizing that some of those smaller school systems will fail while others will prosper. Education is our version of Soviet Agriculture--a complex knot of problems accentuated by top down large scale centralization problems and made worse by political meddling for power and profit.

So overall deregulation must occur with all the above on the table, charter schools both public and private, return to neighborhood schools in other places with less state and federal oversight, etc. etc.

Some of our schools are amazing, many resemble grim preparation for prison and lives of dysfunction, some are indoctrination centers, some are lifeboats in a locale where civilization itself is lacking and parents are nowhere to be found.

Texas deals with murder charges a bit differently than other states - murder and manslaughter are just different points on a continuum, and there are both extenuating and aggravating circumstances that affect sentence. In fact in certain cases, it's possible for a manslaughter conviction to actually carry a longer sentence than a murder conviction. So there's not as big a difference between them as it first appears.

Right to work and at will are 2 separate things, they are not the same. In fact, Montana does not default to at will. For the majority of hourly roles, even without a union, most reputable employers will default to just cause for terminations. Salary is different and exec is an entirely different kettle of fish from both. There is an overlay of severance and the role that plays in all of these positions. Do you have a specific circumstance you are concerned about? With details I can probably get you 98% closer to why something happened the way it did happen, assuming we are discussing a larger company and not Aunt Mary’s Can Collection Service with 1.5 employees.

Here's the big secret hiding out in plain sight - we already have an extremely segregated school system. It's just that we now segregate by economic status and religious affiliation, and use that as a proxy for any other kind.

As my wife and I were discussing last night, the fallout from the bussing crisis of the early 70's destroyed public education as a mass market option. Sadly, in many places (especially big cities) public school is just free day care for the children of drug addicts and welfare queens.

Posted by: Legitimately makes me sick to consider

It is happening anyway. Few whites are in most urban school districts anymore and that trend is beginning to affect suburbs, especially the older inner ones. Simply not enough whites anymore for even ridiculous busing or other attempts to lure them in anymore. And since minorities are now running these large school systems with control over jobs, money, etc., they don't really care nor want attentive parents of any color. Same as most HBCUs nowadays.

290 IIRC, in TX, murder 1 is basically planning to kill. But that doesn't require like a hitlist and stalking over days. More of a "had a moment to reflect and reroute, went ahead into the kill anyway" thing.
Murder 2 is heat of moment, like, walk in on your wife getting railed and cap them both with no hesitation.
Manslaughter is everything else.
But, I think they have aggravated manslaughter?

I think they have 'Melo solid on murder 1.

They can fire you for no reason, but not the wrong reasons, like I said earlier. But just cause is a labor relations term, not an employee relations term. I can’t fire you because you are Christian. I can fire you because I can’t afford you. I can’t fire you because you are 54, or 23. I can fire you because you badmouthed my company on Instagram. If we are going through a termination for cause, which is maybe what you mean, then the process may look very like a just cause scenario.

It is a lot more difficult than it appears from the outside. It is a lot harder when many of our worst students on college campuses go into education.

That can be as long or as short as the jury thinks it should be. And I doubt the judge is going to step in and save Karmelo's butt here.

But, bringing a knife to a forbidden location of a public track meet at a school indicates willingness to illegally use force and preplanning by concealment makes it worse. Refusal to leave a private tent makes it more so.

In closing, it is pretty easy to make the argument for the prosecutor that we are here today for repeated chain of evil decisions by Karmelo that led up to the murder. This was no barfight, no heat of the moment passion, but a predetermined willingness and planning to bring a lethal weapon to a peaceful event held where weapons are illegal, provoke a conflict, escalate the conflict, refuse to leave while trespassing, and then stabbing someone in the heart, not arms, legs, stomach, etc. but intentionally lethal to kill someone.

Any of the other evidence that Karmelo sought to bring in is evidence of sentence mitigation, not whether or not he is guilty of the charge.

Nothing specific.

"Services no longer needed" / "Bye" is the only way unless an employer really really wants to stick it to someone "for cause" like theft.

There is no "right to work" that by law requires that an employee cannot he terminated except for some "cause". And if, services no longer needed is enough.

Except the knife was not illegal. It isn't prohibited in Texas to bring a knife into the stadium either. It is against the school rules however. I read some of the summaries of the witness testimony. The kid that got stabbed sounded like he was being a dick. A bigger kid and aggressive. The stabby kid was invited into the tent by a team member and was minding his own business when the Kid that got stabbed told him to get out. A discussion took place where stabber kid said nobody else has a problem with me being here except you. Also testimony said common at track meets for the athletes to mingle and visit each other's tents.

Technically true but Europe has much bigger population. And their methodology is to blame a lot of deaths on heat, even if it’s a stretch (like we did for Covid deaths).

That being said, they definitely have a problem with heat-related deaths. They are stupid and stubborn and refuse to accept that Americans have a much better idea: air conditioning.

And the design precedes most of the others that people admire with the exception of ancient flags of Wales, Scotland, and dunno about the Union Jack.

But, while this third-world fraud is certainly horrendous, it does make me wonder why the deepest of deep blue hellhole cities' and states' Democrats even have to worry that they could actually lose an election

And this is because absent the fraud they would lose on occasion. Karen Bass burned down parts of her city to steal the land from the owners.

In what universe do you get re-nominated after you pull a stunt like that? Yes yes LA has a bunch of leftists. And prior to modern fraud they'd likely elect a different leftist, but not Bass...

Technically true but Europe has much bigger population. And their methodology is to blame a lot of deaths on heat, even if it’s a stretch (like we did for Covid deaths).

That being said, they definitely have a problem with heat-related deaths. They are stupid and stubborn and refuse to accept that Americans have a much better idea: air conditioning.

153 I generally like Monet paintings, especially his pastels. At first look this one didn't do much for me. It seemed nice enough but static despite the suggestion of a breeze.

HOWEVER, as I looked at it more its appeal grew. The peace of the scene and memories of warm summer days by the ocean came to mind. The scent of flowers in summer bloom combined with the salt tang in the air, the breeze carrying the aromas and bringing a bit of comfort from the bright sunlight, Monet captured it all in this rather simple painting. Then the effective use of perspective with the foreground giving way to the ships on a distant horizon became apparent. It doesn't hit all at once but grows on the viewer.

I probably wouldn't hang this one but it will remain in my memory for a long time.

Met Museum
Garden at Sainte-Adresse
Claude Monet French
1867
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 818

Monet spent the summer of 1867 with his family at Sainte-Adresse, a seaside resort near Le Havre. It was there that he painted this buoyant, sunlit scene of contemporary leisure, enlisting his father (shown seated in a panama hat) and other relatives as models. By adopting an elevated viewpoint and painting the terrace, sea, and sky as three distinct bands of high-keyed color, Monet emphasized the flat surface of the canvas. His approach—daring for its time—reflects his admiration for Japanese prints. Twelve years after it was made, Monet exhibited the picture at the fourth Impressionist exhibition of 1879 as Jardin à Sainte-Adresse.

193 Platner's take on economics is telling, and for two reasons:

1) Bezos being rich doesn't impact someone being poor. If Bezos had never been born, someone else would have invented something like Amazon and this woman would be likely marginally poorer.

2) People get paid based on the value they generate for others. If the woman isn't being paid much she likely isn't generating a lot of value - imagine for example she's doing house cleaning. Hard work certainly, but most people won't, and really can't, pay a large wage for the job.

And this leads to two real problems Platner and his ilk won't address. First, the problem with people like Bezos is they have outsized political influence and our government is so damn big that is really meaningful.

And the second issue is that the government has exploded cost of living through Bidenflation so you need a larger income to make ends meet.

The solution to both problems is cut government DRAMATICALLY. Get federal spending below $1T and people's lives improve dramatically.

Then there is the contrasting visual lines of the wind, foreground and background, moving left to right, while the converging perspective of the patio moves into the frame - there is a wry pent up energy in that.

Then there are the colors. Geezh, boosh, it is riot in oil paint.

And lastly, the scene has a certain elegance and intimacy that speaks of life being lived well.

208 I saw a clip of Bezos when asked how he can justify anyone earning a billion Dollars, isn’t it immoral to have so much money?. He broke it down nicely. He said take a pizza place where one person runs it with 10 employees. Makes a profit. Nobody would say that’s immoral. That’s the American spirit of small business.

Then the owner opens a second store and employs 20 people. Then a third and 4th and eventually 1000 stores employing 10.000 people. And the owner becomes a billionaire.

So why is running one store OK but running 1000 stores is somehow immoral?

Posted by: Bulg at June 09, 2026 10:19 AM (77rzZ)

Loren and her husband, Carlo Ponti, happened to be vacationing in Switzerland, near Hepburn's home. When Hepburn found out, she invited the two over for dinner.

As Loren told it, when they arrived, they all chatted for a bit, then sat down to eat. . . a simple salad with a few crudites. Once that was polished off, Loren and Ponti expected dinner to be served, but Hepburn simply pushed her empty plate away and asked if the two had enjoyed their meal.

Loren said she had, adding that there had been so much, she was absolutely stuffed. They made their goodbyes and went back to their house, where Loren whipped up a huge pot of spaghetti.

20 years ago, Democrats thought Hispanics would be another black bloc.

But, Hispanics tend to think of themselves as white like Italians do. Italians weren't considered white for a long time, but now they just...are.

Combine that with the black bloc getting more powerful within the Democrat party, forcing their way to the top of the intersectionality stack and jealously defending it, most of which is driven by anti-white hatred, and you've got a recipe which amounts to, "Hispanics, you're dark like us. Now, get in line behind your masters the Blacks. You'd better never turn white, by the way."

As half of them consider themselves white anyway without that much assimilation.

Graham Platner: There is no metric of hard work that justifies a billionaire when people in Eastern Maine work three jobs just to put food on the table”
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks

Aha. Section 8 availability/affordable housing, the new hue and cry of progressives. (One of their platform pieces along with living wages and universal healthcare.)

Reportedly, local housing authorities in Maine have 'historically' been forced to pause issuing vouchers due to sudden federal funding depletions and rising localized rental costs.

But if a voucher is issued, the recipient is usually given a strict period of time to find a housing unit, but - they say - many landlords openly refuse Section 8 applicants.

Also, because Section 8 eligibility is strictly tied to area median income caps working, income from three jobs likely pushes that worker's gross earnings enough over the limit to disqualify s(he) from assistance. And, at that point, some non-profits are likely cut out of being involved in local relief options, housing assistance, energy assistance, etc.

Billions to Ukraine is not their problem. MAGA v. civil society is.

Animal Farm was independently financed by Andy Serkis through minor investors. Angel Studios bought the distribution rights after the film was finished and every major distributor had passed.

Serkis is also in Young Washington in a supporting role, and I suspect it was partly a professional courtesy (and possibly part of his hiring on Young Washington) to buy the distribution rights to his film for dirt cheap, give it a perfunctory theatrical release, pocket the change they get from it, and get to use the one "movie star" in the movie in ads.

I think the jury determines the sentence, and I bet several of them will hesitate to give a teen life in prison. Might not agree, but this killing was much less heinous than many murders, other crimes (like rape, theft) weren't also involved, and I don't think he had much of a prior record, so they may want to give him a lengthy (40 year?) sentence, and hope he can be "rehabilitated."

Prosecutors are moving to have a 17-year-old suspect charged as an adult. The suspect is accused of willfully stabbing multiple times three horses that were in Vegas for a barrel racing competition.

The three horses survived but had to have treatment. Thus, they could not compete and who knows what the long-term effects of the stabbings will be.

Leftist actors don't mind at all taking jobs in small, right-leaning entertainment because they get paid and none of the people they know even realize they're in it. Graham is publicly conservative leaning and has been for years, but Andy Serkis is also in the film, and he's an outright communist.

Animal Farm was independently financed by Andy Serkis through minor investors. Angel Studios bought the distribution rights after the film was finished and every major distributor had passed.

Serkis is also in Young Washington in a supporting role, and I suspect it was partly a professional courtesy (and possibly part of his hiring on Young Washington) to buy the distribution rights to his film for dirt cheap, give it a perfunctory theatrical release, pocket the change they get from it, and get to use the one "movie star" in the movie in ads.

The Right in DC is similar among the professional party folks and the pay for play lobbyists but they don't hate their opponents--in fact, they want to emulate them.

The only cure for the invasion of the theater/student government kids is to either a) institute required personality tests to screen out psychopaths, deviants, and sociopaths from office, or b) more realistically reduce the size of the national government to core concerns of threats to the Union and push all other decision making and taxation to the lowest level possible.

384 Having defense witnesses admit to the prosecution's case certainly is inadequate defense.

Doesn't amount to the degree of legal malpractice needed. Karmelo is likely going away for murder and there is little Democrat race mongers can do about it.

Inadequate defense doesn't work when the defendant admits to police that he did it, ran away from the confrontation and ditched the knife, and multiple witnesses destroyed the critical evidence needed to substantiate a self defense claim.

Once the claim of self defense was made, essentially the trial pivoted from whether Karmelo did it to which he admitted, but whether his actions were reasonable using the totality of circumstances. And from the evidence, objectively Karmelo's defense did not show he was in fear of serious harm or death from the others, was carrying a weapon illegally on school grounds, started the confrontation, and refused to back down.

Disrespect is not grounds to stab someone in the heart period. The code of the hoodrat does not apply in civilized law and society.

The Morning Report — 6/ 9 /26

Good morning kids. There certainly is a lot of attention on California and Los Angeles in the wake of the primary elections, and not just because President Trump called out the in-your-face Democrat election rigging which was and is plain to see in real time.

“I have to tell you, they’ve probably got the worst election system of any state in the country. It’s as if they set out to design it so that it would be easy to cheat and easy to steal elections,” he said, noting that the Golden State has banned voter ID while they “mail ballots to every single registered voter in the state.”
“They don’t do anything, I mean, hardly anything to clean up their voter rolls. So, like, in Los Angeles, you talk to anybody who lives there, and they will tell you if they live in condos and apartments, they’re probably receiving or have received ballots in the mail for people who don’t live there,” he said, highlighting the magnitude of this issue, surmising that some individuals receive multiple ballots.
“People have testified to that. I mean, it’s just one thing after another like that,” he said, noting that it does not end there, as the state will count ballots that come in for seven days after Election Day, with a 22-day “cure period” for ballots with issues such as a missing signature. Even then, the so-called “fix” is lacking.

Hello Hans von Spakovsky, 2020 is on the phone and would like a word with you! But, while this third-world fraud is certainly horrendous, it does make me wonder why the deepest of deep blue hellhole cities' and states' Democrats even have to worry that they could actually lose an election — Gray Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger notwithstanding - not that they accomplished anything that even for a moment stopped the Leftists' destruction of a place that once embodied the American dream but that now is the symbol of Democrat/Leftist failure. And that right there is the reason. The socialist delusion has run head first into the brick wall of reality for all to see, most tellingly the younger generations who have been Pied-Pipered and brainwashed into true believers but are more and more waking up from the delusion.

The problem with the Gen Z new age socialist frame of thought is that they have no means of production of their own. Put plainly, there are no such things as socialist means of production or economic market tools; if so, what are they? To Gen Z, putting private property in someone else's hands and tweaking the economy to their benefit sounds workable, but the basic reality is very scary: they are under the impression that a socialist economy will solve their problems, and everyone else's for that matter, because in their minds all you have to do is control prices, increase minimums, put a cap on this, overtax the other, overregulate this and that, confiscate wealth, and so on. Yet here is the red pill: the previously listed points are capitalist means of production for a market economy; without a socialist means of production, none of the utopian ideas are workable.

Of course the abject incompetence in the wake of the Pacific Palisades wildfires on top of the crime and economic dislocations of open borders have also opened eyes, the attacks on ICE and police notwithstanding, but far too many have taken a bite out of that reality sandwich and evidently are not liking the taste. And so, Newsom , Bass and the Democrats have deployed the fraud machine tonsure California stays blue, and that there is not even the most minuscule chance of losing the state nationally in '28 and possibly for a generation or two down the line. It's not necessarily wishful thinking on my part but just interpreting Democrat motives and mindsets in the current environment. And considering Newsom is the or a frontrunner for the top of the Democrat ticket in '28, his record speaks for itself, not just going forward but right here and now as reflected in the election theft.

California today “has the nation’s highest cost-of-living adjusted poverty rate, the highest levels of functioning illiteracy, and the worst housing affordability in the continental US,” writes Joel Kotkin, who has been chronicling California’s highs and lows for more than 40 years. “California increasingly resembles a neo-feudal state, where a handful of large companies drive the economy while the vast majority of workers endure high energy and housing costs, high taxes, and diminishing opportunity.”
Golden State government has spawned fiascos large and small. Fraudulent Medicaid spending, which made headlines in Minnesota last winter, seems likely to be even more monumental in California, whose Medicaid programs are scheduled to get $138 billion from the federal government, up $18 billion from 2024. The state subsidizes tribal ceremonies and exorcisms, gym memberships and art lessons. . . California in its golden years made the movie “Casablanca.” Today, Casablanca is better at building public works than California. The state that within six months completed two major bridges across the San Francisco Bay can’t properly route phone calls in Tuolumne County.
Taking a workable system and making it fail requires a particular talent. Reading between the lines, one sees little among California’s well-paid public-sector union ranks of the pride I once noticed in a state employee years ago. Instead, there is an eagerness to extract still more from the state’s private-sector success — SEIU is pushing a supposedly onetime wealth tax on the very rich to boost current employees’ benefits — and a complacent indifference to whether the work actually serves its intended beneficiaries. . .
. . . Will the politicians astride this rot pay a price? Harris was the Democratic nominee for president in 2024, and Newsom leads in polls for the nomination in 2028. But a countertrend may be visible in the theoretically nonpartisan June 2 primary for mayor of LA. The (sparse) polling shows LA Mayor Karen Bass way below the 50% needed to win reelection next week, and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt overtaking the left-wing council member initially expected to be her chief challenger.
Pratt’s house was burned down in the January 2025 Pacific Palisades fire, which struck as Bass (despite promising in 2002 to take no foreign trips) was headed to the inauguration of the president of Ghana. Pratt’s cheeky ads lampoon Bass’s left-wing policies, which have produced empty reservoirs and streets full of angry, drug-addicted homeless people.
Empty reservoirs and acres of homeless tents — that’s what California’s once-proud public sector has been producing.

And on the national level we have this nightmare scenario from the Democrats.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) took action “toward drafting” an affordability agenda for 2027 that puts Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in charge of health care, and transgender-identifying Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) in charge of caregiving, according to multiple reports.

So, in other words smother America with a pillow, steal its wallet, then gang anal-rape its convulsing corpse. Funny how Jefries insists we're in economic freefall thanks to President Trump while a look at the headlines in the Economy Stupid section today and over the last few days debunks that bullshit totally. Yes prices are still high but the trend towards better times is unmistakeable. And paying a bit more at the pump is a very small price to pay in order to prevent an Islamic ICBM from coming down on us.

That said the madness with Iran continues and we have full coverage on that topic as well as is evidenced by the links.

Have a great day,

AMERICA & ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN!

The indefinite ceasefire, extended in late May, has not included a pause in Iran’s disruptions of commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, or America’s naval blockade of Iranian ships in the strait in response. Extensive debate has also surrounded whether or not the ceasefire includes a pause in the hostilities between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Iranian terrorist proxy organization Hezbollah in Lebanon.

...one should not enter upon negotiations with Iran if one is ignorant of its history and politics and understands little of the theological, apologetic, mythic and eschatological roots of Shia Islam, its intersection with global politics, and the challenges posed by radical interpretations of its doctrinal principles and deeply sedimented faith. Common sense is not evenly distributed among people. In the Iranian case, research is pretty well obligatory...

Much like the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea is a vital passage for global trade. Any attempt to block navigation through the Red Sea—more specifically, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait at the mouth of the Red Sea, off the coast of Yemen—is likely to create significant delays and higher costs, especially for exports to and from Europe and Asia. This includes energy exports from the Gulf States. This represents the first major escalation from the Houthis since the group launched a similar campaign in late 2023 following Israel’s response to the October 7 attack. In early 2024, it was reported that Joe Biden’s government deprioritized the Houthis as a threat to U.S. interests in the region.

18 Nearly half a million dollars' worth of bourbon was handed over to thieves who fooled employees of a Philadelphia liquor store into loading up their getaway truck. A total of 1,800 cases of Noble Oak Bourbon were stolen from A21 Wine & Spirits on Friday in what company officials told NBC10 was a 'coordinated cargo theft operation.' Officials said the cases contained six bottles of bourbon, which sell for roughly $40 each, meaning the thieves made off with more than $430,000 worth of product.

Honest question, in y'alls opinion, was it that bad ? They are all the same. Why that individual , particularly? I did not watch any of it, just read that Trump walked out of an interview.

I understand what you're saying, but it's long past time that these "reporters" have it made clear to them that constantly interrupting the president after you've asked a question is unacceptable. We understand that you have your agenda and want to make sure that he can't collect his thoughts long enough to speak, but that isn't a justification for such behavior.

Trump banned Acosta for the same thing but eventually had to readmit him to the WH press room. Let's see if it takes this time. He can certainly refuse to call on her, much less give her one on one interviews.

If he had stayed with it, he could have dissected each of her points and still had the satisfaction of calling her a corrupt liar and walking off. She kept hurling her fanatical and debunked narratives such as "no evidence of voter fraud" in 2020. Of course there is evidence. I understand his exasperation. But I wish he would have crushed her with facts first.

110 I see talk about how Trump is considering buying the Chagos Islands. The various news accounts make it sound like it's something you could just by at a store - they make no sense.

If Starmer's plan to give the islands away doesn't tell you he's a Globalist, than you're a hopeless simpleton. It's completely counter to both US and UK interests.

112 I would surmise they found their case to riot over. They might be keeping protest low key for now because they need to keep their "constituents" in total darkness until the riots start.

I expect they have what they need and will get the verdict they expect. Little Trayvon was attempting to murder Zimmerman when he got killed and that was enough to start BLM.

119 Company I work for has nearly doubled our workforce over the past year, from 26 employees to 50, and we're still looking to fill a few more openings.

But, that's mostly because of Trump's tariffs. I'm in the import-export biz, and the tariffs have complicated things to the point where our industry has drastically increased our rates.

147 Personally, although I've been a big fan of college sports, I hope Sorsby and Tech kill the NCAA and college sports.

The NCAA has been corrupt as hell on it's very best day.
The stuff they gave SMU the death penalty for is just another Tuesday in the SEC.
Same for every other "powerhouse" school.

And NIL proves--these weren't better schools with better coaches and facilities:
They were just skimming the cream of the crop.

But now with NIL, college sports are completely dead.
Schools receiving state funds, non-profit tax breaks, have no right to have semi-pro sports.
They can keep the naming, the leagues, and all that--but the entirety of college sponsorship of sports, facilities, players, scholarships, everything, must be separate from the college and for-profit.

>On April 27, 2026, Sorsby checked into rehab for a sports gambling addiction; he placed thousands of bets on sporting events using online betting apps, against NCAA rules.[11] On May 26, 2026, Sorsby was denied his request for reinstatement for eligibility for the 2026 season.[citation needed]

On May 29, 2026, Sorsby admitted to placing over $90,000 in bets over four years on his own team 40 times and using family and friends' gambling accounts to evade detection.[12]

The NCAA denied Texas Tech's appeal for Sorsbys' reinstatement on June 5.[13] On June 8, a Texas judge granted Sorsby an injunction against the NCAA, preventing the organization from punishing Sorsby for violating the association's anti-gambling rules.[

At no time has asking Socialists things been a fruitful endeavor. Marxian dialectics is a mess of self-referential anti-logic that presumes a number of different foundational hypotheses which have never been demonstrated to be true even once - so Socialists have always sounded insane when they talk.

The redditors all have the usual conceit - it was never done by us, it'll be different this time - and, in a sense, they're right. Nobody's been as stupid as our youth yet, so it's gonna be wild.

Case in point: I saw a bewildered Socialist asking why CA's socialist policies seem to be driving lots of people to move away. Another very confident Socialist replied that it wasn't happening, that these are capitalist lies - because mass migrations are not possible. A putative American said this.

That was the Pete Rose defense. Although it probably carried less weight there, since Rose may have used a closer earlier or some such move in a game he bet the Reds to win, thereby compromising their chances in the next game. Don't see off the top of my head how that could apply to a QB in football betting his own team to win, but maybe there are ways.

243 Trump DOJ to denaturalize 17 US citizens in rare move. Reminder: The Trump admin is arguing that naturalized citizens can be denaturalized if they lied during the naturalization process.

Both Elon Musk and Melania Trump are naturalized US Citizens who committed immigration fraud by working in the US when their visas expressly prohibited it. Then they lied about it during their naturalization process.

Hypocrisy is like the dark side of the force to MAGA. It's an energy field created by all MAGA that surrounds and penetrates them, binding them all together to own the libs but ultimately leading to their own destruction.

conservatism is all about hierarchy, and the profound conviction that people up the hierarchy ladder have rights and the people down the hierarchy ladder have duties.
The fact that they are holding the poors to much higher standards than the rich and powerful is not a bug, it is a feature : that is what their whole world view boils down to.

So they're finally testing the waters huh? They're going to figure out what problems come with this, adjust to them, then use it on a much larger scale.

...
“I heard the thugs in Washington were trying to take your Rearden metal at the point of a gun,” she said. “Don’t let them, Hank. With your advanced alloy and my high-tech railroad, we’ll revitalize our country’s failing infrastructure and make big, virtuous profits.”

“Oh, no, I got out of that suckers’ game. I now run my own hedge-fund firm, Rearden Capital Management.”
...
There’s a whole world out there of byzantine financial
products just waiting to be invented, Dagny. Let the leeches run my factories into the ground! I hope they do! I’ve taken out more insurance on a single Rearden Steel bond than the entire company is even worth! When my old company finally tanks, I’ll make a cool $877 million.”

262 Are Democrats Dropping WPATH?

**********

They may not be dropping them entirely, but they sure seem to be distancing themselves. For at least the last two decades, WPATH, with an assist from the AAP has been the go-to source for supposed standards of care in pediatric gender confusion for practicing physicians who were happy to palm those uncomfortable decisions off on "expert" groups. Now, with WPATH's credibility crumbling, the troika of the AAP, WPATH and the Biden HHS (Democrat party) is embattled and being forced to play defense. And who was right smack dab in the center of those three entities? None other than the late-in-life gender switch faux-admiral: Dr. R. Levine. It will be interesting to watch them all turn on each other. Double down or admit they were wrong, which will it be?

299 The young socialist has been reared in an environment characterized by abundance produced by capitalism. To them, this is the natural state of the world, and "the system" is the artificial network of controls that regulate access to that abundance - money, property rights, employment, etc. They imagine "the system" can be abolished and the result would be free access to that abundance for all.
But of course, abundance is not the natural state of the world. It's a product of the system. Behind "the system" is not golden plenty for all, but a void: hunger and darkness and the winter cold.
For those of us who have worked on the front lines producing food or fuel, building housing, moving goods, this truth is unavoidable. We've stared into that void and spent our working days pushing it back. But so many have been so far removed from that front line, and for so long, that they no longer realize it exists.

And all of it was bankrolled by Qatar and Turkey. Emmanuel Macron read the report. He understood it. Then he locked it in a drawer. And full credit for this story goes to Behind the Narrative 📣.

309 More than 100 staff at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestinian refugees have been referred for suspension or debarment from taking US taxpayer dollars after a federal watchdog found they had helped Hamas carry out the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack against Israel.

The US Agency for International Development’s Office of Inspector General (USAID) submitted 101 more names for debarment or suspension based on their “participation” in the attack that killed 1,200 in Israel — including 46 US citizens — or “affiliation” with Hamas’ military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades.

“Among the individuals referred were UNRWA school principals, teachers, security personnel,
attendants, psychosocial counselors, and medical professionals,” the USAID OIG investigative summary stated.

“So you mean that once again it was PoC who intervened and stopped the spread of a European plague? Wow. Shocked,” Avila Chevalier said in a May 10, 2020, tweet, apparently referring to “people of color.”

Top Story

Eric Berger, the last sane man at Ars Technica, puts things into perspective: Over the past five years, a single Falcon 9 rocket - the same rocket, just recovered after its 35th launch - has lofted more payload into orbit than all the single-use rockets of competitor United Launch Alliance combined. (Ars Technica)

The little booster that could, B 1067, completed its mission safely after delivering 29 more satellites into orbit. 35 sequential reuses was seen as something of a boundary, but they've sailed right past it, at several miles per second.
xAI is seen as more of a datacenter REIT - a real estate investment trust - than a frontier AI lab. (Martin Alderson)

The key distinction seems to be that xAI is making money. Lots of it. Deals to lease unused capacity to Anthropic and Google will pay for xAI's entire investment in 18 months.

He sends it back. They "test" it, say it's fine and ship it back. Louis tests it. It's not fine.

Louis' profession is ... data recovery. He knows exactly how and when drives can fail and in what state.

So yeah, he's kicked this back to them with notice that he's going to sue them in 60 days under Texas laws covering fitness of product for merchantability if they don't send him a new one.

23 @8/Skip: The Garmin Problem: I've been fighting this for ~ two years with my Garmin DezlCam OTR725 (a fairly "new" Garmin device.)

Under Settings, Navigation, Calculation Mode, I have two options:
"Faster Time" and "Straight Line".

I drive school bus. I must run a school route in a specific order of stops. It doesn't matter how I get between each stop, but I must run the stops in the order specified (rule from our school board.)

What I really need is a navigation optimization mode that:

Follows stops (and any waypoints between) in the route in that EXACT order. Just do as I say, and let me be in control for a while, would you?

I can switch the current mess to "Straight Line" and my route works more or less okay, but then later (without using a route) if I try to specify a single destination, it just draws a straight line between me and the destination. THAT'S NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

Garmin really needs to get out in the field with their product with drivers in different scenarios, because this is nonsense.

Or... as Pixy says: "Well that's dumb."

So yeah, I feel your pain. Garmin has been pissing me off.

25 Further to the Garmin Problem: If I select "Faster Time", then for any pre-programmed route, Garmin tries to optimize the route according to how I could run it the fastest, which means it can put the stops out of order, and that's verbotten per board policy/rules.

I had to deal with returning a Samsung TV several years ago.
It was not a pleasant experience.

After several phone calls trying to return it for repair (one rep even hung up on me) I finally got the RMA to send it, paying UPS to box it up.

Long story short, they hadn't fixed the problem when it was sent back and I had to send it again, whereby they finally repaired it after going through the entire process again.

I've still got that TV in the attic but it was a piece of crap that has had numerous problems even after it was repaired twice.

Samsung is not well known for their top-notch after-sale customer service.

G & R: I had that caffeine withdrawal headache happen to me on several successive Mondays back in the late '80s. I was not as regular a drinker of the black juice then, and for some reason I did not have any coffee on Sunday. On Monday, I dragged through the work day feeling as though I had a small screwdriver in my head. Tuesday I was fine. Took my slow, childlike mind several weeks to realize it was lack of coffee on Sunday.

Now, when a hurricane is coming, I make sure to brew up a pot and keep it in the refrigerator; in case the power goes out, I can always have a few swallows.

When my wife and I bought the house we have, the seller had to do about 10K worth of work including well repair. The advantage we had was she owned the house and all the money she spent was made back during the sale.

47 @Wolfus (#38/#40):

Yeah, recognizing a caffeine withdrawal moment is sometimes difficult because we have too much blood in our caffeine stream.

As to the realtor proposal to the seller: Be ready to counter with an offer for your previous offer price minus the estimated repair costs when the seller says "No thank you" to your offer that includes a "Get all the repairs done, first" clause.

This is a better option anyway, as the seller might try to get a thin veneer of work done so it looks good but will crap out on you six months after purchase. Good luck suing over that too, you'll pay more in lawyer costs than you'll get in damages.

Better to just contract the repairs and keep a weather eye on the jobs and workmanship. Then you'll know.

Or, y'know, wait until a better listing appears.

51 @36/SpeakingOf: "Samsung is not well known for their top-notch after-sale customer service."

Yeah, I was already at the "Don't buy ANYTHING from Samsung except maybe their ssds, or nvme drives". Had two Samsung computer monitors that both crapped out the same way: Longer and longer to turn on and hold with a proper image, with flickering on/off as it tried to get to that point, and finally they just wouldn't turn on.

Then I read about their exploding washing machines and dryers... Definitely not buying their appliances after those horror stories (included people getting seriously injured.)

Samsung's one of the two chaebols (Korean family cartels) that are part of the "big three" screwing everyone over on memory prices. (The other Chaebol is Hynix, the last company is Micron in the USA.)

I'm left with pretty much zero desire to buy anything from Samsung ever again. ZERO.

53 G & R, yes, I think I'm going to have to wait for something better. The porch or rear patio, garage, laminate or hardwood floors in at least the living and dining areas, a solid working roof, A/C and heat, and fairly modern electricity are my requirements. And houses with them all are available in my price range.

It's a shame, as this one was just right for me and, I thought, would have needed only some floor work (taking up the carpet in two rooms and refinishing the hardwood) to make it perfect. Which would not have been cheap or fast -- but it at least seemed like a small step to get me into my own home.

Yep, they do. You're lucky you can still read yours. Get the data off of it onto your hard drive, then smash it with a hammer (or return it for warranty if you can, depending on how sensitive the data is on it, if it's personal/secure, destroy the device and eat the loss.)

I believe it is more of an issue of a lack of any financial incentive to backport any new additions to older versions of the OS.

In some cases, those decisions may be technical, and in many instances, improvements in the later versions are mostly fluff and eye candy, with very little end user perceived benefit, while forcing the upgrade cycle on users and putting onto users decisions they don't want (like AI slop and spyware, er, telemetry).

That's where Linux shines, because it is less bloated which can breathe new life into older hardware, and more user focused (by virtue of user choice). I have 15-18 year old laptops and PCs running Linux for kids use, a soon to be media PC, backup NAS, etc.

Those are all long out of the Windows HW/SW lifecycle.

Yeah, I'd be looking for an even deeper discount than I suggested the other day (based on the wiring reflections, which can mean new wallboard or wall work if lath and plaster (most likely), and I could do the work or be a general for such a project.

94 90. Virtually all estate sales are “as is”. My concern is they will just lower the price significantly and you will be tempted to say yes. Resist!!! You’ll find another one without all the problems.

95 So Pratt went from 40k votes up on election night to being 22k votes down to Raman, who is getting the overwhelming number of votes cast after Election Day.

We were better off when these creatures were in the closet. What gets me the most is that history has shown that when a company ignores the rainbow bullies and just goes on with life, people give them money.

100 Here’s the kicker, there’s apparently over 2m votes left to count in the LA Mayor race and as soon as Raman overtook Pratt, they called it and are pushing to have Pratt concede.

He’s obviously going to be shut out, but what happened to count every vote.

103 Wolfus. If you buy a Fixer-Upper you have to keep in mind that that all those upgrade expenses are in cash. To me, it seems the more prudent decision, is to spend more on a house that's in good shape from day one. The additional expense of a higher priced home is amortized over the length of the mortgage, which likely is cheaper than paying lump sum cash payments to fix up a deficient house. Bottom fishing for houses is often one of the most expensive decisions you can make.

110 Additionally, Wolfus, You are living on a fixed income these days, stability and predictability are highly valued attributes Even if the initial house payment is somewhat more than you have decided you're willing pay. Reality bites sometimes but it is what it is. Optimizing for predictable long-term cash flow allows you to compensate for inflation somewhat, meet monthly expenses, and even have some left over to go buy that fancy new couch you've been thinking about. Fussing over a house that's a money pit is wasting time it seems. There's plenty of other houses to go look at and consider. It's been my experience. If you're having this much trouble deciding if this house is the one it is most certainly not the one. Finding the right house is one of the easiest purchases you can ever make, This one fails that test it seems.

He should insist that the rest of the votes be counted. That would show how much corruption there is in the system and make a better case for a federal inspection. Also, he could use for a recount based on the absurd vote dumps. Then, again, Commiefornia.

Sphinx Content on an ONT? Sure!

Uncovering Secrets of the Sphinx

No human endeavor has been more associated with mystery than the huge, ancient lion that has a human head and is seemingly resting on the rocky plateau a stroll from the great pyramids. Fortunately for Lehner, it wasn’t just a metaphor that the Sphinx is a riddle. Little was known for certain about who erected it or when, what it represented and precisely how it related to the pharaonic monuments nearby. So Lehner settled in, working for five years out of a makeshift office between the Sphinx’s colossal paws, subsisting on Nescafé and cheese sandwiches while he examined every square inch of the structure. He remembers “climbing all over the Sphinx like the Lilliputians on Gulliver, and mapping it stone by stone.” The result was a uniquely detailed picture of the statue’s worn, patched surface, which had been subjected to at least five major restoration efforts since 1,400 B.C. The research earned him a doctorate in Egyptology at Yale.
Recognized today as one of the world’s leading Egyptologists and Sphinx authorities, Lehner has conducted field research at Giza during most of the 37 years since his first visit. (Hawass, his friend and frequent collaborator, is the secretary general of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities and controls access to the Sphinx, the pyramids and other government-owned sites and artifacts.) Applying his archaeological sleuthing to the surrounding two-square-mile Giza plateau with its pyramids, temples, quarries and thousands of tombs, Lehner helped confirm what others had speculated—that some parts of the Giza complex, the Sphinx included, make up a vast sacred machine designed to harness the power of the sun to sustain the earthly and divine order. And while he long ago gave up on the fabled library of Atlantis, it’s curious, in light of his early wanderings, that he finally did discover a Lost City.
The Sphinx was not assembled piece by piece but was carved from a single mass of limestone exposed when workers dug a horseshoe-shaped quarry in the Giza plateau. Approximately 66 feet tall and 240 feet long, it is one of the largest and oldest monolithic statues in the world. None of the photos or sketches I’d seen prepared me for the scale. It was a humbling sensation to stand between the creature’s paws, each twice my height and longer than a city bus. I gained sudden empathy for what a mouse must feel like when cornered by a cat.

The real reason the Sphinx is next to the pyramids? The Sphinx needs a scratching post. That's why the cover stones are missing.

New Mom Gets a Visitor

So, yesterday I'm in my hospital room. This guy in work clothes walks in. Everyone thinks he's a doctor, but then he stares around and asks:
"Who in here was giving birth at 6 PM?"

I was the only one. So, I'm like "That was me, doctor. Is everything Okay?"

He replies "I'm not a doctor. I'm a WELDING ENGINEER. I came here specifically to meet the woman who RIPPED THE DAMN IRON HANDLE off the delivery chair during her contractions!"

It was hot. Got another tee time tomorrow morning. The vacation is rapidly coming to a close. Go back to Babylon DC on Saturday. Meh.

During the 1984 Democratic primary, Senator Gary Hart ran a campaign heavily centered on the slogan of "new ideas". Mondale, the former Vice President, used the phrase—which was borrowed from a famous Wendy's fast-food commercial playing at the time—to mock Hart's proposals. Mondale argued that Hart’s broad, sweeping policy ideas were like a beefless hamburger: catchy to hear, but ultimately empty and lacking in substance.

129 AOP, you'll get all this.

Getting my rod back together after the paint job. Just tedious work.

Then I discovered a brake fluid leak from (apparently) the area in front of the master cylinder. Lots of tightening of fittings and thinking. Discovered it was the fitting on the tee splitting the rear brake lines, fluid running down the body, fooling me. Unhappy, but got it fixed.

Then found a fuel leak from around the level sensor, which I am currently ignoring by lowering the fuel level (for now).

Time for a test run! Backed out of the garage and saw a trail of some fluid very near the master cylinder alignment. Nope. Somehow, somehow, I must have nicked the plastic oil pressure line and IT is leaking.

I suppose that soon I'll wind up with a water leak.

Urban legend, promulgated by intellectuals such as Al Sharpton, i.e., "They shot the nose off because Napoleon couldn't stand seeing a statue of a black person!"

Nappy did steal a lot of Egyptian cultural treasures, though. These liberated items still form the core of the Louvre's Egyptian collection.

Egypt has so much pharaonic art that they haven't bitched much about their losses, unlike Greece & its missing stuff, i.e., the Elgin Marbles parthenon frieze. Greece still wants that back, and it will likely succeed some day.

Correct. Back in the day, when DVDs were still in stores, I noted that the 5th Season was half the price of the other ones. I didn't buy it.

You can put me in the lunatic woo-woo crowd that thinks the Sphinx (and maybe the Pyramids themselves) are far older than traditionally dated. The water erosion on the Sphinx is the main thing. And then there's the Younger Dryas and the astronomical alignments.

Around 12,000 years ago, when the last ice age ended and the Holocene began.

Go back to the magic date of about 10,500 BC, give or take. Due to precession of the equinoxes, the equinox was in Leo. The Sphinx would've facing it's celestial counterpart at sunrise on the equinox (or any time when the equinox point was rising). And due to procession, the constellation were quite shifted relative the pole and equator. At Giza, the bottom of Orion (Rigel and Saiph). At the moment of equinox rising, Orion was just transiting, with his feet right on the horizon.

Sammy Hagar still tours. I just recently saw an ad for his upcoming appearance in St. Louis... at a rather puny venue, compared to the glory days. On a riverboat.

Sammy made A LOT of money with his Cabo Wabo premium tequila. A LOT. Some big liquor outfit bought him out-- Skye maybe? Plus, he has a group of airport restaurants. Sammy is a capitalist!

So, he must still do live concerts because he enjoys it. Not for the dough re me.

Stellarium (and others), loaded with JPL's DE440/441 high precision ephemerides, will easily show that spectacular alignment. Stellarium's default precession model is pretty good, but the default ephemeris (VSOP87) won't be so hot about the planets and the ecliptic of date that far back. It won't be too bad, but you need DE441 to get it right.

Back then, when Leo rose, it was sitting nearly horizontal to the horizon. The crouching Sphinx staring right at a crouching lion rising on the eastern horizon. There is a theory that the slight off linear alignment of the three pyramids corresponds to Orion's belt stars (Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka).

So, from a vantage point to the north of the complex, looking due south, at equinox rising, you'd see the pyramids right under Orion due South, with the feet walking on the horizon with the three pyramids right underneath, with Leo due east with the Sphinx staring right at it.

Melina Mercouri was the spokesperson for the Greek antiquities office, and her only account was to bug the Brits until they gave back the Elgin Marbles. She didn't succeed, obviously. But I remember hearing her speak at the Embassy, and she went on for over an hour discussing the (in the Greek's opinion) legal reasoning for returning them. She was also a very lovely lady, even when she was elderly. Aged very gracefully.

Yes, it should have slowed any weathering, if not stopped it completely while it was buried for around 5K years, off and on.
There was a period when the Sahel and Egypt got far more rain than it does now, a period called the African Humid period. Weathering and water erosion like seen at the Sphinx would have been faster then.

RE: Elgin Marbles and air pollution:

Puts me in mind of a true (for once) story about Somerset Maugham:

He bought a Gauguin on glass in Tahiti for about $1.35. He was accused of exploiting the natives. Maugham won that argument (in my view) by explaining, "It was originally one-third of a 3-part panel. If I HADN'T bought it and shipped it home, it would be with the OTHER 2 panels-- destroyed & gone forever."

The African humid period or Green Sahara is interesting. It correlates with the Milankovitch cycles of perihelion precessing about the seasons. When perihelion occurs in Northern summer, rather than winter as it does now, through some not-completely-understood mechanism, it throws the Sahara into a nice wet, green climate. Ice Ages can prevent that from turning back on. This cycle is about 19 - 23K years (it's shorter than the pole precession because of apsidal precession)

The last one started near the end of the Pleistocene, and turned off maybe 6000 years ago. Before that, however, I think it missed two green cycles, and the last one before last was somewhere around 70K years ago.

I made sure for the second boy I was hydrated and all was well. I possibly could have had him but there were some odds of uterine rupture and my husband said nope, not going to risk it.

A bit of sugar
Four or five glugs of tequila
Two or three glugs of triple sec

The Green Sahara thing is driven by changes in the North African Monsoon, I was just reading. I remembered something about that. When perihelion occurs in north summer, that monsoon gets strengthened, and allows rainfall to penetrate. The obliquity and eccentricity cycles modulate that as well. Higher tilt, and closer perihelion make it even stronger.

Our little human cycles are nothing compared to these grand astronomical cycles that drive everything long term.

366 Watching reports of Karmelo’s trial, I realize Karmelo’s lawyer put on an Internet defense. In other words, his lawyer loudly shrieked completely insane justifications and felt that if he shouted loud enough no actual evidence would be required.

This has been one of the worst criminal defenses I’ve known of.

He apparently didn’t know there’s some cell phone video of the scene inside the tent just before the stabbing. He testified that Karmello was surrounded and felt threatened, the prosecutor played the cell phone video and asked “what part of that was he surrounded in?” And the “witness” had to say “uuhh, I guess he wasn’t.”

There is the concept of the "amenable authority". And the authorities that we have want more power, not less, where we want them to have less. So they are not amenable to us, where they were amenable to others.

So the question remains: what is to be done? And the answer would probably get you on a watchlist, frankly.

432 I doubt the Moon was any brighter in the past than today. The Sun is equally bright today as in the Middle Ages, and the Moon’s albedo will not have changed since then by any appreciable amount. Are you talking about light pollution obscuring its brightness? That wouldn’t work during the day. Or is the atmosphere blocking some of the light due to pollution? If so, I expect an era where everyone used smoky fire to keep warm, for example, the Middle Ages, would do more to block the Moon’s brightness.

WHY do you think they put telescopes at places such as Mt. Palomar? Because there is almost no urban air pollution there. You can see celestial objects better when there's no air pollution, right?

437 Earth based visible light astronomers don’t like nights when the Moon is near to full, or full, since it is so bright that it’s own scattered light obscures their view of the fainter objects in the sky. Doesn’t bother radio astronomers of course, and neither does day or night.

The main thing with light pollution is it increases the baseline, or background brightness of the "empty" sky, called sky glow. The brightness of sources doesn't change, it's just the relative difference between the source and the background.

Light pollution is what affected Mt. Palomar. Now, air pollution, particulate matter mostly, does increase the back scatter and increases the sky glow.

In broad daylight, the sky glow from the scattered sunlight just overwhelms all those effects.

Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at June 09, 2026 02:07 AM (zdLoL)

443 They site visible light telescopes on mountains for multiple reasons: it’s higher up so there’s less atmosphere above the telescopes, also the air can go into a laminar flow up the mountain that’s directed vertically, that steadies the air so there’s less twinkling, and being on mountain tops often means cities, with their light pollution, are far away. Of course, nobody sensible sites a telescope next to a smokestack, but one of the real advantages of mountain tops, particularly in the desert, is that the air is drier. Water vapor does a lot to obscure “seeing” as the astronomers call it.

462 I used to ask my freshman physics classes how to find the cardinal directions accurately without using GPS or the like. A lot of students think a magnetic compass points to True North. Also, the point where the Sun rises and sets isn’t exactly East or West most days of the year. It was a whole sequence of thoughts about how to straighten a stick, erect it vertically, level the ground around it, wait for the shortest shadow (True North in the northern hemisphere) and get the other three cardinal directions from that. It’s just a coincidence that Polaris is close to the northern celestial pole: it hasn’t always been and in later ages will not be. Yet the Pyramids are accurately aligned with the cardinal directions.

That was also the trick to set you clock/watch at high noon. If you knew the equation of time you could correct to mean time, but that wasn't really important. Time used to be entirely local time. There were no time zones, and you couldn't travel or even communicate fast enough for it to make any difference.

Then came the railroads... A number of stupid accidents killing people due to clock synchronization differences.

Somewhere around the mid-19th century, somebody invented a clever little device called a dipleidoscope. It had a small telescope and some prisms, and you aligned precisely to the local meridian. It would cast two images of the sun which would overlap exactly at transit. Accuracy was about 10 s.

And it turned out using the Moon the same way could get the accuracy of transit even better, down to 1s. But you needed accurate lunar tables to convert "high loon" to solar time.

I was irritated (but did my best not to show it) because the course had been dumbed down more than I liked. I asked him to redouble his efforts and did not slack the pace.

On a related note people used to make a living, up to the 1940s I believe, in England, by traveling to Greenwich and setting an accurate pocket watch to the correct time given by the noon ball drop. Then they would travel to various sites like factories or office buildings, and for a small fee, let their clients set their clocks correctly by the watch they carried.

What was the old saying about ship chronometers, carry either one or three, never two. It's the same principle as the old adage that a man with one watch knows what time it is, while a man with two is never sure.

I studied celestial navigation and was certified in it for a time (for one of my prior sporting careers - open ocean sailboat racing - certain races only allowed celestial navigation, no modern instruments: the old Marion to Bermuda Race being a good example (now they allow nav systems but award a 3% correction for Celestial boats). Anyway the absolute key to celestial navigation is an accurate timepiece as the charts and tables for certain heavenly bodies' positions will mark that position by time (at such and such time the moon will be directly above this lat/long point). In olden times therefore, an accurate clock that continues to keep accurate time despite outside forces (waves, barometric pressure etc.) was the difference between life and death. I have not heard of old sailing ships having false clocks but it wouldn't surprise me.

Posted by: NaCly Dog

Hundreds, if not thousands, of companies have already moved out, mostly relocated to Texas.

The time to flee is now, because if Steyer gets in, he will collapse the economy entirely. and if Becerra gets in, the entire state will become North Mexico.

Not really other than what you are saying puts paid to the silly "objections" before a word even leaves your mouth, hand or keyboard.

If nobody exists then what is anyone even talking about when we argue about it? The argument in my opinion is self-nullifying. "I don't exist". *Who* doesn't exist??? "No one exists". *Who* again? And that's what's on top of the soil before we even get to a single root.

“Stalactites,” with a “c,” grow down from the top, or the “ceiling” of a cave.

They're trying to get Steyer in to 2nd place. Which is laughable, as he never polled above the teen percentages. He has zero charisma, no popular support, no fan base, low poll numbers, nom "buzz" whatever, is a perennial loser joke candidate -- and yet they are trying to push him over the topint the general election, even though it's patently absurd.

I think they're worried -- understandably so -- that Becerra is so mentally retarded that he might flame out entirely i the general. So they're rigging things by making sure that the backup option (Steyer) is even worse.

Thanks to the generous folk who have already contributed! That said I wish I'd known I can't touch it for a day or two while the GSG folks finish approving it...which sucks because I do not overnight in the car well...hoo boy.

122 The angel in St. Michael's Cave, Gibraltar. That is so neat!!

St. Michael’s caves connect a legendary network of spectacular limestone grottoes. While the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar is famous for its tourist destination, the name and historical lore trace directly back to the celebrated religious pilgrimage site in Apulia, Italy.

🇬🇧 St. Michael's Cave (Gibraltar, Spain)Located 300 meters above sea level within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, this site is a massive natural wonder.

It was famously used as a covert hiding spot by 500 Spanish troops in 1704.

🇮🇹 St. Michael's Caves (Italy)Italy features several significant caverns dedicated to the Archangel Michael, with the most famous acting as the namesake for the Gibraltar cave.

Thanks, Ace.

146 The AP just anointed Ramen Noodles, in a patented stunning come from behind victory that is always won by the Democrat/ Socialist/Communist candidate, as the winner of the second slot in the LA mayoral race.

As as evidenced that this is the most secure election of all time It should be noted that California accepts as ID when registering to vote gym membership cards, employer ID cards, credit or debit card, prescription drug labels, and insurance cards.

Oddly none of those regularly or ever, except the employer ID cards, include photos of the person presenting the document as ID. This sort of begs the question of how many of those can you run per hour off a laser printer?

Rule one when stealing an elections is to drag out the first week as long as you can so you can get an accurate count of how many votes you have to come up with.

Rule two apparently is to allow anything as ID when registering as long as it doesn't have a picture of the person presenting it.

Rule 3 is to use mail-in ballots because they're very convenient when ballot seeding and harvesting or in an emergency discovering boxes of ballots 2 or 3 weeks in t o the vote counting.

149 Totally irrelevant but I've been binge watching YouTube channels by Hana and Ina--Korean sisters who defected from North Korea to China and have made their way to South Korea.
Their videos follow them on a trip to America. They absolutely love everything about America--including the freedom to eat as much food as they want.
On a trip to Buccees they love the cute stuff for sale. They love the fact Americans can make and sell cute stuff simply because they want to and others can buy that cute stuff because they feel like it.
Their delight in freedom is inspiring.
Anyhow I find Ina and Hanna charming and inspiring.

Anchors was always a stupid term--the Brits used news readers which is exactly what they do. According to old CBS reporter types, Pelley was a PITA to work with and he often botched their carefully arranged stories with his own ham handed and ignorant 'contributions'.

If I was CBS, figure just use an AI personality to intro stories by the reporters. The rest of the idiotic musing, ponderings, facial expressions, and overall intellectual vacuity that are modern anchors can then be dispensed with at a far lower cost.

If you don't want to spend the money on AI, then get an irritating C3PO to serve as the interpreter droid.

I dealt with that professionally being the rare conservative in academia for years. Any semblance of 'truth' got drained from academia about the time I entered it.

So I heard leftists takes everywhere--students, deans, faculty, admin workers, and the more rarefied the credential, the more foolish talk was spouted.

And I left working in politics behind because of the same situation. Even at the local level, the degree of stubborn ignoramuses impervious to new ideas and knowledge, those that speak and act by cant, and the sociopathic slimeballs that pervade our politics soured me on almost all of them. I support the good local politicians but my experience overwhelmingly in state and federal election work is negative.

The videos, which feature the former president saying there is ‘so much at stake in this election,’ will be used digitally by the Democratic committee, including by statewide campaigns, state parties and other allied progressive groups.”

It worked.

Now it's the Go To.

It's a cycle--he shows his true colors at election time for whatever pointless reason--ends up arguing with the management and then voila--new nic. The longer people comment here though, the more they recognize inescapable resemblance to the old banned nics in short order. I am sure I am recognizable in the same way regardless of what I post under.

But I think the core of it is unhappiness with their particular life for some reason(s) and alienation from others, yet desperately wanting to be a part of something and to be valued. Lot of accomplished people here or lurking and that makes it harder on the wannabes to shine.

Califnria is no longer a legitmate state.

===============

Here's my dismalest take on California, where I also live.

I'm not sure why Cali bothers with vote fraud. The voters here really are idiots. I think it's possible that LA really did split its votes between Raman and Bass because look at the numbers: 15% of registered voters in LA are Republican. Trump's approval is -55% in LA. How would that add up to a genuine 2nd-place finish for Pratt? HOWEVER, the timing is insanely suspicious. Pratt starts off at a strong second and finishes at a distant third???

But really, coastal Californians are so stupid and brainwashed I think Democrat governance is "real," in a sense. Voter fraud isn't even necessary in this state.

Actually not always--our political institutions used to be more solid, in part, because serious people with good educations worked there. Once the Cold War ended and generations shifted, you get the double whammy of declining religiousity in the American people, endless outsider grifters after 1968, corporations that turned into amoral global institutions that hollowed out towns, dispensed with loyal workers, and always went for the cheapest labor they could get, and the precipitate decline in moral behavior.

The whole last 60 years or so of American decline was a choice--we chose to believe pretty little lies, had our compassion used in order to steal and grift from us, and our desire for fair play turned into rules for us but not for the left.

These Trump years are our pivot and resemble the sequels to Advise and Consent, that Allan Drury wrote. One was a commie prezzie like Biden actually, but the other alternative ending book was akin to salvation by returning to the truth and worthiness of this nation.

The new listings for DoW chaplains and faiths I think. Started a whole debate over what is Christian. The theological line depends on whether your sect adheres to the Nicean Creed (of which there are two parts) but in particular the triune lord. Then whether or not new much later additions to the Bible are to be permitted.

Orthodoxy in Christianity (not the sect)) requires following the Nicean creeds and no new modern additions of books and prophets to sacred texts. Many groups calling themselves Christian do not. So who is correct is at issue?

It seems to go deeper than that whig. The way Mormons are listed (and the way Christians are listed) is not new but decades old. The only thing "new" is they removed a bunch of things like Wikken from the list that had been expanded by Obama to 220 some "religions". Mormons have never been listed under Christian faiths because they are not Christian and require their own chaplains. So what got their magic underwear in a twist NOW.

Fair point but it gets muddy real fast when war is going on. People willing to listen to valid criticisms when no war is going on get a mite upset during after the atrocities of 10/7 and the lazy awful Euro take on it from fear of Muzzies there, that Israel probably deserved it.

Someone criticizing US foreign policy during WWII was not very popular either--see Chaplinsky v. NH.

I don't know why they are upset that they aren't lumped in with all Protestants, except that they like to pass themselves off as Christian up until they lure folks into their sect. Then they make it pretty clear that they believe an entirely different thing than the triune God, and that they have no "heaven" but only Planet Kobol, where men become Gods and women.... continue to serve men.

Mormons are an esoteric sect based on a bastardized version of the Masonic sect and the ravings of John Smith. I don't know why they would want to be called Christian, at all.

272 I will be doing a TeleRally LIVE at 5:30 P.M. EST for Senator Lindsey Graham and South Carolina Gubernatorial Candidate Pamela Evette — Both have my Complete and Total Endorsement. They will never let you down! Vote for Lindsey and Pam. They LOVE the great people of South Carolina, and so do I!!! President DJT

I expected Lindsey to be re-elected after I started seeing some pretty effective attack ads against businessman Mark Lynch, his only real opponent this go-around, who has a 1984 felony conviction for cocaine trafficking.
So nothing really surprising there with Trump’s endorsement.

Picking Evette (current Lt. Gov.) over Mace is probably going to send Nancy Mace straight to the political wilderness, though, as she has been running a dismal campaign against four candidates and she needed Trump’s endorsement to have a chance.

Mace may turn into Marjorie Taylor Green next.
Maybe she’ll do a podcast or show up on Fox or CNN.

274 It seems to go deeper than that whig. The way Mormons are listed (and the way Christians are listed) is not new but decades old. The only thing "new" is they removed a bunch of things like Wikken from the list that had been expanded by Obama to 220 some "religions". Mormons have never been listed under Christian faiths because they are not Christian and require their own chaplains. So what got their magic underwear in a twist NOW.

I just mentally sighed.

For the most part, discussing religion here is one of those topics that always ends up with hurt feelings, unpleasantry, bigotry as to what is the 'true' faith, and so on. Because leftist religion is largely politics, that makes them impervious to reasoning on key tenets of faith but once you get into the weeds on religious doctrines, you can piss off almost everyone on the right that is religiously observant.

It becomes a matter of personal identity which is why tolerance as a doctrine was finally used to end the religious wars in Euro land. But also why the Muzzies have used that peace agreement in the world of Christianity against the West.

You cannot tolerate an intolerable faith.

I would suggest not. A good Catholic wife serves her husband, and her husband loves her, which means he serves her. No idea why they think SUBservience is required, but for Mormons, it is that way.

A Catholic wife cannot be denied sex unless there is a serious reason to not do it. Likewise, there is no good reason for a Catholic wife to stay with an abusive husband. He is not allowed to remarry if he chooses divorce. He like wise cannot be in full communion if he chooses to divorce.

IOW, be not an asshole, and you are good.

Mormons can beat their wives with impunity. They can withhold sex, and money, and freedoms, and all sorts of things, and she has no recourse.

I had to code religious beliefs in sects in a study about abortion legislation once upon a time.

I learned there are plenty of controversial beliefs among sects scattered around. Church and religious history is a fascinating subject but in open forums, comments start degrading into my faith is better cuz rather than rational discussion.

As far as accessibility, to me, Catholic theologians are probably the most careful of all but then again, a lot of sources in Orthodox or the more obscure ancient texts of Copts, etc. in the Middle East are much less accessible to me.

Protestant theology is often a mess, in part due to the Age of Reason as they drifted away from Catholic theology.

In the first round, right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella led with 44% of the vote, followed by left-wing candidate Iván Cepeda with 41%. As none of the 13 candidates obtained at least 50% of the vote in the first round, a runoff will be held between the two on 21 June 2026.

Cepeda is Petro's chosen successor, Espriella is the Conservative, though for Colombia that could mean "Bill Clinton, but Law and Order" because Colombia.

They both accept the Nicene Creed. LDS does not, and disparages those denominations that do.

My middle kid's best friends were Mormon twins, and so in theory having them hang out with Catholics was a problem, but in true Old School American fashion, the topic never really came up.

There was an awkward moment in high school where some other kid said Mormons aren't Christian, and one of her friends turned to her for reassurance and had to do the "technically...according to the Catholic Church, she's right. But we can still be friends!"

The solid ones, like Stefanik, you never hear about.

Blame both the media and voters in some states for the squishes (Collins is representing a blue state for example-Kevin McCarthy was a squish for much the same reason despite representing a red district). Some become squishes to rise in leadership in the party, some because their real business is getting generational wealth, and others because the media flatters them.

The performative arts types are people without an ideological compass that seize on riding whatever is popular at the time to get recognition or power. Look at how some of the Tea Party types, like Mike Pence, ended up. GOP voters and party are running more women and so like their male counterparts during surges, you get a lot of duds.

======
Supposedly Boebert got the full pine cone treatment from Massie if you believe Massie's former girlfriend. She was the immediate consolation after Massie's wife died. The GF came about a couple of months later.

So rubbing off is a perfect metaphor for Boebert's behavior. Her previous exploits with a hard core Dem guy running a brewpub is another tell.

Also, I think the level of depravity has escalated a lot. The old "caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy" thing, well, the live boys keep happening. Also dick picks. Completely undisciplined.

Also: moral hypocrites. Same people berate Christians for supporting Trump and then are like "Yeah, so he's got Nazi tattoos, fantasizes about raping men and abuses women. Who is to judge?"

Whether the wafer is transformed into Jesus body during communion is a separate thing and of different type from whether the God of Israel is eternal and sui generis, and "God" is a relationship to a world. The very nature of God is changed. Not just sacraments.

They believe God was once a man, and that if men follow their teachings, they too can become "exalted" and become gods.

They believe Jesus is a created being. Like (as others have pointed out) the angels, such as Satan.

As the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith found in 2001, Mormon Christology is not even a heresy, but is a completely different theology, and therefore their baptisms - while using the same words - meant very different things.

This should be unremarkable from their perspective, because the believe that they alone are actual Christians, have have a particular venom for the Catholic Church, which (in their teaching) led all men away from God.

I'm happy to see it that way.

People were younger then as a rule. The ones that stuck with the blog are more socially aware and I think sense our peril now is far more dangerous than during the SCOAMF years. The vibe was far more libertarian back then from my recollection as was the earlier web so the insults, etc. flowed from that sense of freedom of what was repressed in society.

Now, too much evil has been revealed from quarters that we erroneously thought could never truly win or persuade. So a certain grimness has taken hold of people here that don't tolerate just asking questions from bad sources and contrariness as much anymore.

It was hard to take those Obama sycophants seriously at the time (the fake columns in Denver for example) but the intent of leftists in his orbit were to destroy the world as we know it. And they just about got away with it.

If you view things as a projectable tensions, we construe that God knows the end as "predetermination". But pre-determined doesn't so much appear in the Bible, it just stresses God's foreknowledge. That he cannot be surprised and will not be surprised.

Predetermination is when we start to get clever and assume we know how God pre-knows. In other words, the stress is what God knows, not the futility of our lives, which scripture never gives us much to say is futile, unless we chose to remain in rebellion.

We have all the "choose" literature in contrast.

Even though we can come up with a simple model of God "outside time and space" and the entire human life being chartable on a grid, we should not let our need for simplicity determine whether or not God is cryptic on "choosing".

Candace Owens and Her Mentally-Ill Cultists Are Now Ginning Up Powerful Assassination Prep... Against Erika Kirk

Maybe if Candace Owens can get all members of the Kirk family murdered, TPUSA will devolve into her control just because there's no one else left.

Erika Kirk wowed the crowd at Turning Point USA's Women Leadership Summit with her cool response to a heckler who tried -- and failed -- to derail her speech.
A woman could be heard off camera, shouting from the audience as the CEO urged the crowd at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter to put their faith in God.
"Erika Kirk protects pedophiles! Erika Kirk protects pedophiles!" the woman screamed, video of the Friday event showed.
"It's important to remember that happiness comes and goes -- and I pray that you find it," she said to the heckler.
A protester outside a Turning Point USA event hosted by Erika Kirk dressed up as Charlie Kirk and re-enacted his death as crowds chanted, "He deserved to die."

The audience responded with cheers and applause, with some members of the crowd shouting: "We love you, Erika!"
The widow took several more jabs at the heckler -- who was removed from the crowd.
"That's an important moment because that just shows duty to faithfulness gives life meaning, and we must pray for our enemies and those that do not feel like their life has meaning. And that's a perfect example of that. A perfect example. You pray for your enemies. You pray for those that persecute you," Kirk said.
"That's not the enemy. We know who the real enemy is," she continued, without elaborating.

Candace Owens has repeatedly pushed defamatory lies about Erika Kirk supposedly being some kind of lesbian pedophile groomer.

She loves it! Can't wait to monetize the hate she's ginning up against a widow!

Turning Point chops, screws and premieres Charlie-GPT.
Erika gets heckled and called a supporter of pedophiles.

Yeah, it�s time for me to get back on air. Monday can�t come fast enough! https://t.co/EXMK2Aob3I

Doesn't matter -- Candy's Cultists are all in the comments saying Akshually Jezebel was a Widow so widows deserve hate.

Dana Loesch: �God has ordered His church to care for widows, that widows be included, so they are not isolated, to protect widows, to care for widows, to not persecute a widow in the most ungodly ways, because you're jealous that you are not the one controlling an organization� pic.twitter.com/FZrHs0WYNW

Notice it's no longer called the "young" women's leadership summit? Because they've completely lost the youth since Charlie's passing. This is RNC-lite.
It's now the Hags-Nagging summit with donors occupying speaking slots to lecture women about how it's "biblical" to not question anything.
Turning Point no longer has anything to do with Charlie Kirk and the whole world knows it-- including them. No spark. No energy. No debate. Frankly, stale.

Ridiculous low-IQ brat who never had anyone say "no" to her, until Charlie Kirk. And it broke her brain.

The spirit of Christianity does not exist beneath a yarmulke, kissing a wall in a city where religious leaders teach their children to spit upon those who worship Jesus Christ.

It would therefore be my distinct honor to become �the bridge� that unites Christians in the East� https://t.co/hlgCr88ldF

@RealCandaceO
Great news! Thanks to the wall-to-wall western media meltdown about my trip to Russia, their entire nation became aware of my presence here.
I have now been cordially invited to hear President Putin speak today at SPIEF.
This is why we say there is no such thing as bad press.
Also, isn't it kind of weird how Trump sent an entire delegation, (including the architect building his "ballroom") and yet Zionists never accused any of them of being Russian spies?
It's almost as if the people who refuse to peddle their talking points, get smeared.
Stay tuned!

Quirt Evans: Is that Quaker stuff?

Quirt Evans: You mean nobody can hurt you but yourself?

Penelope Worth: That's a Friend's belief.

Quirt Evans: Well, supposin' someone whacks you over the head with a branding iron? Won't that hurt?

Penelope Worth: Physically, of course. But in reality it would injure only the person doing the act of force of violence. Only the doer can be hurt by a mean or evil act.

Quirt Evans: Are there very many of you Quakers?

93 The internet is interesting in that social media seems to serve to radicalize people. They get into opinion bubbles and then in order to stand out, they have to further radicalize.

She has gotten money from the gift after Charlie Kirk was killed. So in order to appease her social bubble and keep them interested, she has to keep going harder.

OT, just saw a video of Billie Eilish slapping her breasts. She may be a commie whackadoo, but nice cans.

95 The first time I had a little concern with Owens was when she went rabid after Stephen Crowder.

I don't like the candid video any more than anybody else, but I thought Candace's frothing was a little uncalled for from a person professing to be a Christian.

The TPUSA board needs to come right out in public and declare that Owens will NEVER run the org, or have a leadership position. I'm *this* close to thinking that she needs to be kicked out of the organization entirely, but I'm not a totalitarian asshole.

100 Owens has crossed the Rubicon of insanity and eternal bitterness to find her place in demonism.

It is demonic, her entire "platform" of vengeance.

All because Charlie Kirk did not choose her. He fired her. She was not invite to his wedding or funeral is what he thought of her and her wickedness.

Apparently she's forgotten about Mrs. Macron's gonads and moved on to this.

Mrs. Kirk, I am sorry you have to deal with this on top of being widowed in such a violent and public manner with two young children.

My husband's brother dropped dead from a rare heart problem 40yrs ago, training for the Boston Marathon. His sons were 4 and 2yrs old. I helped as much as I could from FL after the funeral. My SIL's grief overwhelmed her as she tried, with a lot of support, to carry on. She became anorexic to the point she nearly damaged her kidneys.

It was horrific and Erika Kirk is going through this x 1 million thanks to the evil Owens creature. For what, exactly? Attention? To stretch her demon wings?

I have to wonder how her husband feels or thinks. Is he ok with this? Money for clicks? Whether pretending to be Catholic or dining with Putin?

Why can her "mouthpiece" not be stopped? Why?

They would probably think that the lack of prosecution for all the dirt they had on Trump is some sort of testimony to the Biden administration's "restraint". (Although the probably can't "understand why") But they will never have the evidence to show that the Biden administration was being so lenient because Trump is destroying it as we speak.

124 There's also the new term "The Epstein Class" that's been floating around for several months now.

It's not exactly defined specifically, but near as I can tell it includes anybody, left, right or center, in the ruling class of the entire Western world.

Therefore the popular thing seems to include screaming "Pedo!!" at these elites incessantly, Trump & Crew included.

It's all far too similar to Q-Anon for me with how overboard people on the far left & right have gone with it, and how closely aligned the populists on either end of the political spectrum have congregated together on this one issue.

132 Looking up Orthodoxy, there's a 40 day period of mourning within the church, as in set days of religious observance. If the specific church is any good they're not going to be jerks about what exact day to do what exact service.
Then there's about a year of wearing black. Widows up to two. Again if the church is any good they're not pushing it, although I expect they have the 2000 years of prior experience to know if there's insincerity or if the widow is having a nervous breakdown or if she's on a "rebound" effect or whatever.

And so the left has been ridiculously opposing that. It puts them in one of their many morally untenable situations.

171 I just can't take any California governor's election seriously since they elected Ahhhnold into the role. I don't care what political party he belonged to....the simple fact of the matter is a vast majority of votes were directly related to nothing more than popularity, and not for anything resembling competence.

It's the same mentality that was asked to name the British autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), and "Boaty McBoatface" won by a large margin. California voters are not serious people, and they don't understand the serious consequences that they bring upon themselves.

174 I can only speak to what I know.

My SIL, widowed at 32yrs, remarried the best friend of her husband, who had never married, a little over 2yrs later. As a family we were happy for them. They had mutual grief that became love.

In reality she's told other family stuff like she will never love him as much as my late BIL. Which made me sad, as there are different types of love and to say this a decade or so after his death I found troubling. He raised those boys who call him Dad. Does he always feel like second best?

Her grief later turned to alcoholism in this second marriage, even with grief therapy.

I'm not sure what I would have done so young if my husband dropped dead running. I'm sure move back to my parent's farm with our sons. I would not have had the support of her large family and friends, nor my husband's best friend to marry me.

Now, after being with the same man for 47yrs I know I'd grieve forever in private and there would never be anyone else. I'd try to put on a brave face in public, as Erick Kirk is doing and more than most could, God bless her and keep her strong.

Yet this demon keeps shouting and I wish someone, anyone, would shut her up.

I decided he was a nutcase when watching a show of him post-op from having hemorrhoids removed. He was totally wacko. I guess due to anesthesia and his previous either alcohol or drug problems. Altho I do not know. Someone should have not let him put this on air.

Being a RN who has taken care of post op heart patients and other surgeries for many years, I was blown away. Out of his mind insane and paranoid, crying and wailing. Wanting to sue the hospital and doctors for reasons I could not tell. A lunatic.

The Trump Administration Announces First (of Many) Foreign Criminals to be De-Naturalized and Deported

I call them "foreign," which they are, though they've all defrauded the US into granting them citizenship.

The Trump administration on Monday announced it is seeking to revoke the citizenship of 17 U.S. citizens accused of immigration fraud, expanding its unprecedented denaturalization campaign.
CBS News exclusively reported about the plans before they were unveiled by the Justice Department.
Officials said the move represents the largest-ever effort by the U.S. government to use its denaturalization powers, which were rarely invoked before President Trump returned to the White House last year with promises to launch a historic deportation blitz. Between 1990 and 2017, the Justice Department filed an average of just 11 legal complaints per year seeking to denaturalize American citizens, historical figures indicate.
Federal law has long allowed the government to try to denaturalize foreign-born U.S. citizens who officials believe committed fraud to obtain their citizenship, such as by concealing information, like criminal conduct, on their immigration applications. But the process has been historically lengthy, complex and seldom exercised, requiring officials to persuade judges to strip naturalized citizens of their citizenship in civil or criminal proceedings in federal court.
The Trump administration has sought to vastly escalate denaturalization efforts as part of its larger crackdown on illegal and legal immigration. In 2025, the Justice Department broadened the categories of naturalized citizens who should be prioritized for denaturalization. Last month, officials announced a dozen denaturalization cases, at the time the largest such effort in years.
Some of the 17 citizens targeted in the latest denaturalization campaign were convicted of violent or serious crimes, including sex offenses against children. Others were convicted of fraud crimes or accused of committing immigration fraud.
In federal court complaints filed across the country in recent days, Justice Department officials argued that the individuals concealed their criminal activity when they applied for U.S. citizenship or were otherwise ineligible to be naturalized, including because they lacked a "good moral character," one of the requirements in the naturalization process.
Those targeted in the latest round of denaturalization cases include a Haitian immigrant who allegedly sexually abused his daughter; a man from the former Yugoslavia convicted of sexually abusing a child under the age of 15; an immigrant from Mexico convicted of receiving sexually explicit images of minors; a former Catholic priest born in Colombia accused of child sex abuse; and a Filipino-born man who pleaded guilty to a child sex crime.
The group also includes an Indian immigrant accused of filing fraudulent H-1B visa petitions; the daughter of a Colombian drug trafficker accused of money laundering; a man born in Jamaica convicted of wire fraud; and a Cuban-born woman accused of defrauding a tribal casino. Other naturalized citizens were accused of using false identities.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department would have "zero tolerance" for abuse of the naturalization process.
"Criminal aliens are lying about their past crimes, including drug dealers, sexual predators, and fraudsters," Blanche said.

This Department of Justice has filed DENATURALIZATION ACTIONS in various U.S. district courts against 17 individuals accused of serious offenses.

35 Wow! An unprecedented number of de-naturalizations! And then you look at the number. 17. 17. No, there's no missing digits. Sure, that's a higher than the annual average of 11, but when you're at that kind of level, it's easy to portray any difference as a sizeable increase or decrease.

And yes, 17 this month is on top of 12 last month. But we aren't talking about thousands of cases each month. We'll be lucky to reach 100 in a full year.

(I realize that to build a case like this, you can't do hundreds or thousands at a time because all paperwork has to be unique and specific to the case at hand. So I'll give the administration a break, but not the fear-mongers who have no sense of proportionality.)

39 Those targeted in the latest round of denaturalization cases include a Haitian immigrant who allegedly sexually abused his daughter; a man from the former Yugoslavia convicted of sexually abusing a child under the age of 15; an immigrant from Mexico convicted of receiving sexually explicit images of minors; a former Catholic priest born in Colombia accused of child sex abuse; and a Filipino-born man who pleaded guilty to a child sex crime.

The group also includes an Indian immigrant accused of filing fraudulent H-1B visa petitions; the daughter of a Colombian drug trafficker accused of money laundering; a man born in Jamaica convicted of wire fraud; and a Cuban-born woman accused of defrauding a tribal casino. Other naturalized citizens were accused of using false identities.

Today a “judge” said charging 100k is illegal somehow. Apparently charging $5k is ok but $100k isn’t. It’s only constitutional if the amount is low enough to not matter and keep Americans from working in IT.

116 Sarah J Fields - Karmelo Anthony Trial
I’m going to be honest: the defense was abysmal.
The few witnesses called to the stand today either could not remember key details or simply did not see what actually happened. Their testimony was thoroughly challenged during cross-examination by Bill Wirsky. The defense presented no additional evidence beyond witnesses who were unable to confirm the long-standing claim that Karmelo Anthony was “attacked” - a claim that has circulated since the beginning of this case.
There were also persistent rumors that the Metcalf brothers were “bullies.” No evidence was presented to support those claims. In fact, the testimony painted a very different picture. More than 20 witnesses called by the prosecution consistently described Austin and Hunter as leaders, role models, “their brothers”.
Closing arguments are tomorrow morning. After that, the jury will begin deliberations. Judge Roach has informed the jurors that they will be sequestered during deliberations. If they do not reach a verdict by the end of the day, they will be housed in a hotel and isolated from outside communication until deliberations are complete.

119 I do not foresee this jury taking more than a day to reach a verdict.
During jury selection, the prospective jurors were educated on several important aspects of Texas law regarding self-defense.
First, murder under Texas law involves intentionally or knowingly causing the death of another person. Contrary to what many people believe, Texas law does not require the state to prove premeditation in order to secure a murder conviction.
Jurors were also told that words alone do not justify the use of deadly force. Additionally, a person cannot provoke a confrontation, escalate it, and then successfully claim self-defense after using deadly force.
I will be posting a full video later today with a detailed account of everything that occurred inside the courtroom.

Technically, no. But practically, yes. A critical element of self defense is that the defendant have a reasonable fear for his life. Prosecutor says ‘no he didn’t and here’s why.’ Jury hears it. Defendant refuses to take the stand to say ‘yes I did and here’s why.’ That’s a slam-dunk for the prosecution, in any normal case. The question is whether this case is normal.

172 Technically, no. But practically, yes. A critical element of self defense is that the defendant have a reasonable fear for his life. Prosecutor says ‘no he didn’t and here’s why.’ Jury hears it. Defendant refuses to take the stand to say ‘yes I did and here’s why.’ That’s a slam-dunk for the prosecution, in any normal case. The question is whether this case is normal.

Right, so the prosecution has to give the jury enough to pass reasonable doubt that he acted as if he was in fear for his life.

The only thing we have from Anthony at the time is "touch", if Anthony anticipated a "touch", it's not a strong case that this could be construed to be fear for his life.

Perhaps "Don't touch me!" could be construed that way. But "Touch me and see" sounds like somebody trying to command the situation, not simply preserve life.

"Touch me and see" actually sounds a lot like somebody who could have walked away at that point, but obviously did not, because he wanted to stay and "demonstrate".

198 Possibility of Manslaughter as a Lesser Included Offense?

(AI Overview): While the grand jury indicted him on murder, juries in Texas can sometimes consider lesser charges like manslaughter (recklessly causing death) during deliberations. If the jury rejects the murder charge but does not fully acquit on self-defense, it is possible for a conviction of a lesser charge, but it relies on specific instructions from the judge.

Heads Must Roll: Hampton Police Planned to Cover Their Asses by Insisting that Henry Nowak Was a Racist Aggressor, Even After the Evidence That Digwa Was a Lunatic Thug With a Knife-Murder Fetish

And even more than that -- they planned this PR campaign against Nowak and in favor of themselves even as prosecutors were preparing murder charges against Digwa, which would of course prejudice the trial in his favor.

They were blocked from doing this, but the intent was there.

C3
@C_3C_3

Henry Nowak's case gets worse...
Hampshire Police wanted to paint Henry as the racist aggressor.
Even after they had evidence Vickrum was guilty and lying about "racism".
They didn't want truth out.
If it wasn't for X they would've likely gotten away with it.
People must pay.

Fire the entire department, except for those who give evidence against the others.

The police force at the centre of the Henry Nowak scandal has been criticised for trying to release a statement 'portraying him as the aggressor' three days after his murder.
Hampshire Police planned to publish a statement implying that the 18-year-old had assaulted killer Vickrum Digwa and his brother, according to reports.
Mr Nowak died in the early hours of December 4 after being stabbed multiple times by Digwa, who is Sikh and had lied to police about being the victim of a racially motivated assault.
A police statement released later that morning said: 'It was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man.' Officers told the Nowak family that the next update would also imply that the teenager was the initial aggressor, it is claimed.
But they later dropped that section of the statement, which only referred to an 'altercation' in its published form. At that point, police had substantial evidence that Digwa had lied to them.
Hampshire Police are also said to have risked collapsing Digwa's trial by trying to issue a statement over so-called 'disinformation' - while proceedings were already underway.
However, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) advised the force that the highly unusual move would risk jeopardising the 'integrity' of the case.
Ameer Kotecha, CEO of the Centre for Government Reform, said: 'These are appalling new details. As I have been saying, the no-questions-asked credulity with which the police treated Digwa's false racism claims just goes to show how deep the DEI rot has become.'
Nick Timothy MP, Shadow Justice Secretary, also criticised the police for threatening the 'integrity' of the trial with 'irresponsible statements'.
'Equality before the law should mean that trials are fair, that we all have the same legal rights and that we are subject to the same rules. Sadly, it has been displaced by an ideology that seeks to treat us differently based on race or identity.'

Instead of treating the first-year finance student as a victim, officers handcuffed him as he lay dying due to Digwa's false claim that he was a racist thug.
Digwa was handed a minimum jail term of 21 years on Monday, before riots erupted in Southampton a day later.
Hampshire Police said today: 'Following the opening of the trial and the media reporting that followed, a significant amount of mis- and disinformation was circulating online.
'This included requests for information to be shared that had not been fully examined as part of the murder trial.
'The intention of the statement was to remind the public that there were ongoing legal proceedings and that the law is clear that nothing could be published which could prejudice the trial. The decision not to publish was taken following advice from the CPS.'
Police diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies have come under scrutiny amid allegations Mr Nowak was failed by 'two-tier' policing.
Last year, West Yorkshire police had 19 staff dedicated to inclusion, costing �970,000 in combined salaries and benefits. The force also paid more than �360,000 to an external training provider.
Several policies are inspired by the National Police Chiefs' Council and Royal College of Policing's Police Race Action Plan, which was published in 2022 following the murder of George Floyd.
They include an 'About Time' timeline documenting events relevant to relations between the police and black people. One was issued to every force in England and Wales at a total cost of �97,000.
Meanwhile, the College of Policing paid �7,700 for a speaking 'masterclass' from Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, a controversial lawyer who criticised police for kicking the Golders Green suspect while arresting him following the stabbing of two Jewish men.

If you think things couldn't get any worse over the horrific murder of Henry Nowak.

Digwa should have been in prison, but was allowed to walk the streets despite having previously stolen 1,000 pounds of knives, and threatening strangers with his sword in a "road rage" incident.

White people go to jail for tweets.

🔥🚨 BREAKING � Video has now emerged of Vickrum Digwa, the killer of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, brandishing a sword while threatening others in a road rage encounter.

The footage provides additional context into Digwa�s behavior before the fatal December stabbing. pic.twitter.com/sUD0uUMfLK

Britain effectively gave up their right to own guns in 1997. Civilian handguns are pretty much outlawed, and you need a Permit to even have a hunting rifle.

And the Left here still attacks the Second Amendment.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Sounds to me like Jesus himself is telling us to carry swords to protect ourselves, thus making it a religious obligation.

So Christians should be able to carry swords, just like Sikhs can carry knives.

“The medical examiner, Dr. Elizabeth Ventura, just testified.” Morello wrote on X. “The medical examiner testifies that Austin was stabbed once in the chest. The stabbing pieced a portion of his heart and the bone on his center of the chest.”

She added, “The knife went completely through Austin’s heart wall. The prosecutors were trying to show a photo of the autopsy. They walked the photo to the defense. Karmelo looked away. According to the Daily Mail, one female juror was “covering her mouth” when she saw Austin’s heart. Both Austin Metcalf’s parents and some of his family left the room to avoid hearing the details.

73 Like I keep saying, the only reason the police showed up at all was because they were all excited they were going to be able to arrest a white for a hate crime.

And the reason they were so ... callous at the scene was because Henry ruined their chance to add a hate crime arrest to the annual review for promotion.

If Henry had called and said he'd been stabbed, the dispatch would have said, "I don't think you have, mate." and hung up on him.
And the cops never would have shown up.
Until the coroner alerted them that it might be a homicide.

Queer Starmer leaned on the parents request that this incident "not cause division." The media is also leaning on that statement by the father.

Father read the statement I would bet quid to crumpets that the policed and CPS told him to make that statement, and probably wrote it for him, under threat that if there was violence by the public they would charge *him* for incitement. They have a unit in the police forces specifically to force familes of these crimes to fall in line.

But yes, people have to get fired here if there is to be any change at all. After all they will protect their phony baloney jobs instead of the dei crap if they think there are consequences.

81 I have no idea what step 2 is and I strongly suspect neither do they.

Some leftists will tell you the odious parts of Islam are just there because of colonialism and racism and therefore win the left wins Islamists will all become gay feminists soibois like them.

Most don't believe it though - the goal is just kill conservatives and reduce normies to formal serfdom. What to do with the jihadis is a future problem

Digwa claimed to the police that Nowak had knocked his turban off and hit him.

At the beginning of the bodycam video you can see Digwa explaining to the cop and pointing to a spot below his eye where he was supposedly punched (I couldn’t see a mark).

Still doesn’t justify murder even if it happened that way. Nowak wasn’t armed and nobody has ever claimed he was.

To me, this is what keeps me coming back to the Christian model:

The main themes of a Christian God--specifically some significant names, solve some of the biggest "Problems in Philosophy".

There is no reason to type another sentence in your life if we don't believe in the WORD sent from one WHO IS.

The problem of language? The problem of "Other Minds" is reverse to the faith that I AM and I send to you my WORD to dwell in your mind, to testify that I AM.

If you want to believe that words are more than an expression of willful preference that you either buffet up against or align with, more or less out of control of whatever it is you are, if you believe in the value of writing another word on the unprovable assumption that somebody on the other side can hear what you mean, by simply withholding snap judgments and taking time to take it in....

You believe in something. You can't even prove it because the skepticism against it is well advanced and prolific. But you take another step and write another word, and pray that somebody--like what you take yourself to be--is out there.

bullshit -- not too disturbing, too inciting. I bet it showed digba to be guilty and taunting. It showed stuff that would not "disturb" the public, but would make them angry that such people have been imported into their country -- there is a difference.

Remember the stabbing of little girls in Southport, and how they put one mother (Lucy Connoly) in prison for tweeting something about how there needs to be deportations and "set things on fire." That was because they are terrified the public will wake up and there will be civil war. It is coming.

One of the games the left has played for a long time is taking an aggressive view of whatever the laws are against those they want to harm, and taking a very conservative view of the laws against those they want to protect.

And you can see this all over the place. The people saying George Zimmerman "he needed to take a beating" also claim Karmelo Anthony had every right to stab someone to death for touching him...and given leftwing authorities they will arrest/judge people with these differing standards

At the time I said "Justice being done would mean your officers go to jail (excuse me..."gaol") and you get fired (excuse me..."sacked") without a pension".

Anthony, the Nowak stabbing case in the Uk...All of this random senseless death of young kids with potential lives ahead of them is heartbreaking and soul numbing. As is the media trying to reduce reporting on it because it's not convenient for them.

Also upset about the voting in CA. Technically the final deadline for LA ballots is tomorrow (?!), but they got enough for Ramen now, so hey, they're done counting now! Nothing to see here!

And H1B fees struck down by a judge. Annoying. Not the best of Mondays.

- A C-17 can carry up to 18ea 463Ls on a trans-Atlantic flight from Charleston AFB to RAF Mildenhall (crew get to RON at the old Bird in Hand)
- In theory, one C-17 can deliver 47,200 sidearms to be distributed via RAF Mildenhall smuggling channels.

- Ammunition would be a separate issued handled by A-3.

In and of itself, one C-17 could effectively outgun pretty much ever Constabulary in East Anglia.

Last week I was at the Va (don't ask), and it being a 1/4 mile hike from remote parking to the entrance, I waited until the shuttle came around. I said good morning to the driver, and thought that I detected a British accent in his reply. Then, he hestitated closing the shuttle door while looking at the back of my truck cap, which has a St. George flag sticker on the rear window. 'I can't tell you how much I appreciate the St.George flag sticker' he said.

There followed some conversation as he transported me up to the hospital entrance. It turns out that he was an ex-London bobby. They left because he and his wife could not stand London anymore.

As far as I know, there is no law applicable to the entire panel called in for jury selection. Any blacks on that original panel were:

1) struck for cause (something they said during jury selection indicating they could not be impartial)
2) struck through use of a peremptory strike (which are subject to a Batson challenge on racial grounds), or
3) not randomly selected from the jurors remaining after strikes for cause and peremptory strikes.

If all of that was done properly, then he's got no issue on appeal.

Reinstituting property ownership as a qualification for voting would go a long way toward remedying this, and I say that as someone who sold out and now lives in a retirement community (i.e., I wouldn't get to vote any more).

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at June 08, 2026 04:16 PM (n7rxJ)

Is it actually "all white" or is it simply being portrayed that way because there aren't any black jurors? Also consider that they were only able to get THREE potential qualified black jurors essentially because the rest said they just couldn't send a poor little black child to prison. And these three got struck because they're all teachers, which the judge ruled was a race-neutral basis. If Anthony gets convicted, and he should based on the overwhelming evidence of his guilt as we know it to be, they are going to appeal and would have appealed regardless of jury composition.

Posted by: Don Black

Pre-WWII there was a lot of Japanese emigration from the islands. Part of it was an economic thing where contractors found land and encouraged emigration to South America, especially Peru and Brazil, and part of it was liberal minded Japanese who had an inkling of what was coming. Remember there was a lot of Japanese on the West Coast of the US, in places like Seattle, Tacoma and Portland too, and for the the same reasons.
Japan's move from an isolated medieval society to an industrial society in four generations left a lot of people on the outside, and one reaction for those who were losing in the conversion was to emigrate

Let me take another shot at it. If I were to leave my faith behind, I am still confronted by 1) what do we know, and 2) how do we know it. And the many questions of epistemology just make it harder to establish any of that.

As well, some moderns now tell us that there is no "freewill" (which is not per se "God", so the "atheists" just continue to make salad out of everything). Thus I don't even know that anything I read can change my mind or that I can consciously take in anything. People like Daniel Dennett want to caution me against the assumption that there is even such a thing as can be described a "me", or that "I" can make a decision.

All of which does not feel like the holistic experience of reading and writing. Thus and reading and writing on the chance that there are other people out there is a sort of faith in its own. And that relationship can be described in this model: My Word testifies that I AM.

Thus my faith in the Christian model of God is intermixed with my faith in the worth of writing anything to other primates.

California does not have reciprocity so I would have to pass another state's bar exam, meaning I would have to learn a new set of statutory and case law, legal procedures, etc. Practicing law is not like practicing medicine. Medicine is pretty portable, even internationally. Law is not. Besides, California real property and consumer law certainly aren't.

I read he was initially threatened in that building then tried to leave.

The first video of his last breaths he was almost under a car. I guess crawling like a wounded animal to escape. This was after, with five knife wounds, he had jumped a fence and dumpster and landed there.

God bless his family with the comfort of many prayers. Novak should not have died, being 5min from a trauma center.

This monster should not have been on the bloody streets to murder him.

Perhaps the next step for the UK Government is to shut down the Internet like Iran?

And being poor in Guatemala is crushingly poor, like, living in cardboard shanties. That's why so many boys were put up for adoption. Girls don't need to be educated to be maids, so nobody had to pay for them to go to school, but boys need to read and write, and it costs real money to send them to even elementary school. So, they put them up for adoption.

He had NO PROBLEM remembering all of these details, and carrying on through a length conversation.

He was asked MULTIPLE TIMES if weapons were involved. He denied it every single time. Then at one time he states ‘I don’t know how they [weapons] could have been.’

This is a man who knew that Sikhs (including himself) carry knives. This is a man who KNEW that his brother routinely carried two of them. This is a man who KNEW that his brother had an anger management problem. This is a man who KNEW that his brother kept an EFFING ARSENAL in the house.

Gurpreet Digwa’s lies and delays were made WHILE HENRY NOWAK WAS STILL ALIVE. His delays ensured that the cops took longer to get there than they would have, IF THEY KNEW A MAN MIGHT BE BLEEDING TO DEATH. His lies ENSURED that police arrived unprepared for the possibility of a stabbing victim.

Gurpreet Digwa should be charged with murder.

Politico Cancels "Climate Change" Grift Subscription Service-- A Year After DOGE Turns Off the Government Subsidy

You probably remember (at least if prompted) that during the days of DOGE upsetting all the socialist applecarts, it was revealed that Politico had a grifter newsletter with an exorbitantly high subscription price -- and that the main consumer was the US government, buying pricey subscriptions for leftwing bureaucrats who either wanted to read climate propaganda or just wanted to direct taxpayer money to support climate propaganda.

DOGE cancelled those subscriptions. The media howled, claiming that nearly $500,000 per year of taxpayer money was a very reasonable price to read Al Gore's Daily Diary.

And without that government subsidy, Politico now cancels this terrific value whose pricetag was totally justified by the marketplace.

Politico is discontinuing an energy and environmental news product a little over a year after the government canceled a nearly half a million dollar annual subscription to it.
Politico on Monday announced plans to shutter E&E News and introduce two new energy-focused newsletters in September, Semafor first reported. The move comes after Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced in February 2025 that the agency "will not be renewing our membership with Politico and Politico E&E, saving the American taxpayers $458,919 per year."

"Best $458,919 we ever saved on behalf of taxpayers," a spokesperson for the EPA told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "The government shouldn't subsidize poor journalism, and it's a stinging indictment of the previous administration that they wasted so many hard-earned American tax dollars keeping this outlet afloat."
"Beginning in September, we are modernizing how we deliver our energy and environmental policy journalism and launching a more focused, high-impact portfolio of daily news and intelligence products," Politico CEO Goli Sheikholeslami and Politico Global Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Greenberger said in a joint statement on Monday. "By bringing together our reporting from Washington, U.S. state capitals, Europe, and across industry, these newsletters will help subscribers see how policy decisions, political fights, and market forces intersect to reshape energy and climate."
...
"As part of this shift, E&E News will no longer operate as a separate brand. Its journalism and expertise will be fully integrated into POLITICO's energy and environment portfolio of stories, briefs, analysis and newsletters," according to Politico's statement. "The current E&E News publication structure will evolve into a connected set of energy and environment editorial products that share our deep reporting and strong analysis while showcasing our greater global editorial coordination."
When reached for comment, a Politico spokesperson referred the DCNF to the company's announcement from Monday.

They cannot survive on their own.

It's also why they take over a conservative institution and destroy it. They CAN survive on their own, so they must be destroyed.

Do it like I do with all of my municipal and state govt agency customers. Of course, I actually work on their equipment and provide an actual service, unlike these shit-heels. Invoices are immediately due, no Net 30 shit, because govt agencies think that Net 30 is actually Net 180. Had enough problems with credit accounts that I killed off most of them, unless we had an actual, formal contract.

Don't pay your bills? I don't ship you your product back. For a couple of customers I'm thinking about sending them their payment reminder emails in a ransom note format, complete with cutout letter font.

68 ny times, feb 2025:

Politico has been at the center of a social media misinformation campaign this week, with X users posting screenshots that falsely purported to show millions of dollars funneled from the United States Agency for International Development to the site. Mr. Trump spread a similar message on his Truth Social platform.

In fact, the screenshots described government subscriptions to Politico Pro, which added up to millions of dollars. The service offers policy-related resources and tracks news and legislation, and has more than 30,000 subscribers, according to a Politico overview.

Recent public scrutiny by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) highlighted an internal database containing 18.9 million active Social Security Numbers (SSNs) belonging to individuals born in 1920 or earlier who lack a registered death date.However, independent investigations and reports from the Social Security Administration (SSA) Office of the Inspector General confirm that 98% of these old records are not being paid any benefits

The termination of Catholic Church-affiliated staff occurred when the Trump administration froze and subsequently dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The sweeping cancellation of federal grants and contracts forced major Catholic charities to lay off thousands of workers and drastically scale back global and domestic humanitarian programs.

Got that? The Catholic church laid of THOUSANDS when the USAID money stopped flowing. It annoys me that the Catholic Church never acknowledged that US Tax payers were paying for their "good works." It, also, raises questions about separation of Church and State.

It's always fun to blame the fact people die on the existence of the PRC, but the incompetents in the Mexican government to me is the real culprit for now swallowing their pride, admitting there is a problem, and confronting it with a willing ally.

Spielberg Claims His New Movie "Disclosure Day" Will Leave Christians Questioning Their Belief in God

https://instapundit.com/802308/

Lessee here.

Only Christians will be left questioning their faith in God.

Not Jews, not Buddhists, and certainly not Muslims, with their state of Science belief that the sun dips into a puddle of mud at sunset and emerges from the Space Mud(TM) to begin the next day's morning.

This is so tiresome, so predictable that there's not even any reason to get angry. Just decline to see his, apparently, very costly piece of any Christians propaganda.

Anyway, it's a stupid concept that that somehow the existence of outer space critters negates the existence of God.

Atheists from space? Meh.

Slow, boring, cheaply made, and despite it being a true story is was like an AI version of every other "underdog" sports movie ever made.

Also annoyingly woke. Christy is getting physically abused by her fake husband -- and he ends up stabbing and shooting her -- but the movie wants you to think the real bad guy is her mother for not accepting she's a lesbian.

Oh and SS looks terrible. Short, dumpy, weird. Unrecognizable. And looks like the boxing scenes were using doubles or speeded up.

Mark Halperin once explained what these pricey high-tier publications are. All the news services produce them -- AP, Reuters, UPI, and other publications like Politico. They have the type of microscopic data that other news agencies and government agencies need but can't get unless they have "reporters" themselves absolutely everywhere. Halperin defended the services and the prices, BUT -- normally you can get group subscriptions. Apparently, almost no government agency ever bothered to do this. Every desk had its own insanely expensive subscription because it was too much of a bother to set up the group subscriptions.

So that's where some dumb amount of money went.

Politico has been at the center of a social media misinformation campaign this week, with X users posting screenshots that falsely purported to show millions of dollars funneled from the United States Agency for International Development to the site. Mr. Trump spread a similar message on his Truth Social platform.

In fact, the screenshots described government subscriptions to Politico Pro, which added up to millions of dollars. The service offers policy-related resources and tracks news and legislation, and has more than 30,000 subscribers, according to a Politico overview.

If anyone thinks Trump can meaningfully address the corruption, they're in for a surprise. Nobody can. Nobody can even publicly acknowledge its extent.

If you were to clean up this government, there'd be little of it left, and whatever remained would be swept away in the resulting unrest, as millions see their way of life destroyed.

In fact, the screenshots described government subscriptions to Politico Pro, which added up to millions of dollars. The service offers policy-related resources and tracks news and legislation, and has more than 30,000 subscribers, according to a Politico overview.

Didn't those turn out to be the same thing?

172 Christians questioning their faith is not something that never happens. On the contrary, only an areligious person would assume this… After her death Mother Theresa’s diaries revealed lots of doubt… but the key thing about faith is it’s an action word not an emotional attachment to a belief…. Emotions come and go and move here and there. Faith is actually putting your trust in that belief. Like the old story at the Grand Canyon a tightrope walker traversed that canyon on a wire for his audience and then did it with a 150 lb weight on his back. Then he asked the audience: How many believe I could carry you across? Everyone raised their hand. Next question: Who’ll volunteer to have me carry them across now? Only one person raised their hand. That was the only person in the audience with faith… they acted on their ( intellectual) belief

What naturalists forget about Ockham's razor is that it's about explanations. ex=out, plain=flat.

To lay out flat, clear, obvious. "The universe (somehow) did it" is not an "easier explanation". Especially as regards the methodology of Science.

We learned more about meat and maggots when we checked the presumption that rotting meat just generated maggots. So we learned not to attribute rotting meat with a power it did not exhibit under scrutiny.

It became a much stronger principle of Science: life has not been exhibited to come from non-life. It's an extraordinary claim that should require extraordinary evidence, were atheists more consistent than Democrats.

Thus "something unliving in the universe sprung to life" is NOT scientific. It's the opposite of scientific. It preserves naturalism at the expense of methodology.

We have to find things with sufficiency to do something.

Which is why "God" may be a simple answer, but it is the recognition that whatever did it had sufficient power to do so.

197 Leftists don’t believe in God, because it allows them to think of themselves as a deity. Deities are not constrained by the power of an all powerful God of Abraham who is the Creator and has articulated His laws, which are the laws of nature, the natural world and the basis for living tenets like morals. It allows them to avoid the lessons of time, and factual basis for a great deal of societies morals and the social contract. It’s also why these people don’t believe in liberty or freedom. For them it also puts constraints on what they desire to do, whimsically, to their fellow man. You see this in their subversion of constitution, government, law, our schools, our institutions and the fundamental underpinnings of freedom, like our election. Their philosophy has no basis in facts or demonstrable truths, which is why they spend all their time lying, obscuring and subverting conclusions and systems that are provably good and just. This is the very definition of evil, which, you should remember doesn’t come as some Middle Ages painting of a demon. It wears the cloak of liberalism, progressivism and the Democrat Party.

His name was Anderson, as alluded in the movie, and of course in the movie there is a character called Cipher. Reports are the story was passed around the set and contained the Matrix network and dream world etc etc.

293 It is not outside the realm of possibility that alien life forms also believe in God and have similar stories to ours.

The last good sci fi book I read was called "Calculating God" in which aliens visit earth and find atheism hilarious and bizarre, since EVERY alien race is theistic and they go through a long, overwhelming series of arguments to utterly prove God to the scientists.

It was written by an atheist but he wanted to explore the idea, "what if God really did exist and aliens knew it?"

The book goes very odd places by the end but its a fresh and interesting concept for the story. He got a lot of flack for publishing it at the time

In order to hire an H1B visa holder, you must pay $100M/year, and pay 4x what you'd pay for an American with similar skills. In addition, you give up the right to bid for any government contract.

If Apple would pay $300k/year for an American with a specific skill set, then they have to pay the H1B $1.2M, after paying $100M for the privilege. Apple could not sell iPhones, iPads, or Macs to the US Government or any state or local government.

I would think any alien civilization that can sustain itself through technological progress sufficient to reach us has some form of religion. Otherwise, they likely would have destroyed themselves long before reaching that stage. Nihilism is nihilism, whether it's here or a million light years away.

I'm not even talking about whether it is entertain the absence of a Creator is reasonable--since even the fine-tuning argument, in my opinion, fails to be conclusive, and "you think it all just got here on accident" is also not a convincing argument to me, as an intellectual agnostic, but practicing doctrinal Christian.

But the reasonableness of the case for that lack doesn't excuse the hash they made of everything else they present.

Including "You're wrong and backwards and bad, and you just need to let us kick the can down the road longer...".

To fulfill the burden of "First Claimant" is a quality of information, it should not be a demarcation of models. Just like verifiability is a quality of a claim, not a delimiter.

Because it makes it hard for humans to come up with a complete enough explanation for why Jesus died for humans on Earth, or what is the effect on the accepted schema to introduce more species to die or not die for.

And your average atheist is going to put it upon you to make sense of it or it "doesn't make sense".

However, enough of them won't take the challenge on "human equality" and "human rights" if they want to preserve those. And they'll just say you must be a bad person if you don't want people to be considered equal or to have rights.

Startide Rising and the other books in the Uplift books by Brin solve that by having emerging worlds be in effect nature reserves. New sapient species have to serve a patron race for a period because all of them had to be uplifted by another sapient. Humans are unique in that when we were found, we had uplifted dolphins and chimps and gorillas and thus had to be part of the elite club of races, and aren't they pissed about it.

Of course, the idea that everyone had to be uplifted leads to the question of who uplifted the first race.

364 This happens because we righties don't really seem to care. After the revelations of .gov subsidies, righties should have acted like politico didn't exist; instead, I see the usual links to them. I've seen links to politico on this site.
The same thing happened with facebook. We know for a fact that zuck helped fund the 2020 election, and yet righties continue using it.
It seems that rightist ethics are convenience-based. That's why the dems have been a political force these past few decades. Not because of their 'ideas' and 'values', but because we...suck.

Totally Informed Serious Intellectual Scott Pelley to Bari Weiss: Where Are You Getting This Lunatic Claim that the American Public Thinks We're Biased? Because We Sure Don't Think That

The Royal We. And by "royal" I don't mean of noble birth, I mean "inbred, stupid, and incapable of caring for themselves."

Scott Pelley describes pushing back after Bari Weiss, his now-former boss at CBS News, asked 60 Minutes staffers to reflect on why Americans think mainstream journalists are biased.

�Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about? Because we certainly� pic.twitter.com/oEktN7Zfae

He literally says, "I never wore the uniform, but I've been in combat for this country."

He's been in combat for you, you guys.

He's a War Hero, Racists.

Oh and he cries at how hurtful it is to be denied the respect that his Combat Experience has earned him.

Fired 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley on the verge of tears:

He's such a brilliant reporter and student of society that he had no idea that repeatedly insulting your boss (and his boss, on top of that) to get cheap applause from the other communist droogs is a firing offense.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: "But it really didn't occur to you that you could be fired after so many of your colleagues had been let go after you'd had this, you know, very contentious interaction with your new boss?"
Scott Pelley: "You know, some reporter, I turned out to be. I just didn't connect the dots. I mean, was this meeting contentious? Yes, but 60 Minutes is known for two things, a ticking stopwatch and hard questions. And we ask ourselves those hard questions in the shop because they sharpen us and make us better..."
Garcia-Navarro: "So, you walk in, and what was the energy of the room?"
Pelley: "Hostile, dismissive before I could take my seat. Tom Cibrowski said, this is a firing offense. I was confused. I wasn't sure who he was talking about in the room, but it became plain very quickly that they were talking about me, and they were unhappy about the meeting that had occurred, a meeting that had ended in thunderous applause for me, if I may say so, because somebody had stood up for the broadcast."

He cried again later in the interview, but insisting he was crying for his fellow Fake Journalists, not shimself:

Scott Pelley cries again when declaring CBS�s Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski showed �breathtaking, completely lack of empathy,� �callousness,� and �inhumanity� by letting go Tanya Simon because her �family is legendary at CBS News.�

He again insists the tears are not �about me,�� pic.twitter.com/5WSjQDJjmF

Via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit, Scott Pelley is a Theater Kid Dum-Dum, writes Jonathan Leaf.

And a nasty one, too.

Pelley is a classic talking-head--someone who started in television and whose whole career has been forged within it. This is the world that the movie Broadcast News depicts. Someone handsome and deep-voiced appears on camera. Others do most or all of the writing and the research.
(Interestingly, the producer of the 2009 Chevron piece, Draggan Mihailovich, was among the top 60 Minutes producers fired late last month by CBS News management, enraging Pelley.)
In Britain, news anchors have traditionally been called "newsreaders." That's because this is what they are. Their job is to make sure that their hair is coiffed when they read from the teleprompter. Pelley was a male bimbo: a himbo.
Over the years, he made many absurd and bombastic statements. For example, in 2006 he presented a completely uncritical two-part report on climate change. When critics asked him why he didn't speak to anyone who questioned the assertions of those who said that climate change was an existential threat to humanity, he responded by saying that this idea was akin to Holocaust denial.

...
"The job of on camera talent is that of a performer. Take Christiane Amanpour. She has often appeared on TV wearing flak jackets when she is far from a combat zone. This is her way of selling the message that she is a field correspondent accustomed to visiting dangerous terrain. Similarly, Pelley is said to have liked to end news broadcasts by taking off his glasses and gazing gravely as the camera dramatically panned in to him. That was his way of ending on a weighty yet "intimate" note."

Apparently this gaywad's big Theater Kid Power Bottom Move is chewing solemnly on his glasses as he contemplates the injustices of the universe.

======

It's funny for two reasons.

The first is that this is the personification of that "SOURCE?!" meme.

The second is that, yes, there are a lot of polls about it, and they all indicate that the American public thinks the media is biased.

There's also academic research into how pervasive the leftward bias is and its effects on American elections. As of about 20 years ago, if America had an actual unbiased press, the median state would be akin to Wyoming was in the mid-2000s.

There will be war, and all they have to do to win is live. They *want* 94% of humans to die. That means they don't have to be efficient or effective, or even succeed at a stated goal.

Posted by: Formerly Virginian at June 08, 2026 01:33 PM (N1tpc)

====

It's not just that they're spoiled rich kids.

It's that the rich kids are destined for less wealth than their parents. They're downwardly mobile.

Mamdani had a failed rap career before he ran for mayor. Platner can't keep a business afloat without his parents' money.

They're seeing their station, the level of existence that they were guaranteed by their births, taken away by a society that doesn't value their contributions. They are the most privileged in America, and even they are seeing their fortunes falter!

Best case scenario, they're trying to make themselves working class to appeal to broader concerns (without any knowledge of anything beyond their emotions at their downward mobility). Worst case, they know exactly what they're doing and how they're manipulating people.

103 It's really hard for most Republicans--and quite a few conservatives--to understand that the vast majority of Democrats don't think their political views are political in any way.

They see whatever line the Democrat Party pushes (no matter how radical) is just "common sense."
The kinds of things everyone should agree on.

And so, the only reason Republicans or conservatives oppose their "common sense" policies has to be due to evil intentions or ignorance.

And that's a real hard thing to believe--that they see you as evil and/or stupid.

They are, "it's just common sense that 9 year old children should be able to choose their gender and choose to take puberty blockers."
And we're, "they're children! They can't know that! And it sterilizes them!"
Then they're, "well, you're just being evil and uneducated."
Followed by the GOPe "I'm sure we can all find a common ground. Send $50 today!"

Yeah, what kind of common ground is between sterilizing children and not sterilizing children?

He has a solid self-defense case if you ignore all the teenagers that witnessed the stabbing testified he kept provoking matters by call them "b*thches", '*ussies", and "touch me and find out." That right there ends all claims of self-defense.

Plus the whole the bit about proportionality of a response to a threat. Being told to get lost and pushed a bit doesn't rise to justifying stabbing somebody in the heart.

Then there is that bit about having formed intent by opening and the holding the knife in his backpack just before pulling it out and stabbing the victim in the heart.

They dude is going down for murder. The only question left is how much rioting happens.

Posted by: Anna Puma at June 08, 2026 02:00 PM (2GVsD)

All the reports I've seen of eyewitness testimony puts to the lie all the bullshit claims about self-defense, how he was surrounded and attacked by four hulking white football players, etc. Made up out of whole cloth by grifters, hucksters, and other apologists for race-based murder. He went there finna kill hisself a white boy and that's what he did.

229 Boomers trusted Walter Cronkite even as he lied; millions died.

Boomers would be somewhere between 18 and 35 when Cronkite died...with the peak at 1957 the median age would be around 24. Given the life experience between then and now, Boomers don't give a shit what broadcast news sez...and certainly don't want to hear about it from babies.

My rankings are genuine feelings on my part. I don't troll intentionally.

If The Fugitive hit me harder than The Searchers, I would put it atop, but it doesn't. So it goes to #2.

And I don't think I've ever convinced anyone to discover The Fugitive. Which makes me sad.

=======

The most expensive movies cost $400 million.

No Time to Die's budget went high (reportedly $250 million, which I think is reliable because British productions have to report costs to the British government, which become public record).

So, it's so expensive that $775 million means it's honestly near break even at the box office. But then ancillary sales, product placement, pre-booking, and such probably add another nine figures to the revenue stream.

That one watch brand pays something like ten million for the product placement alone.

Posted by: Cow Demon at June 08, 2026 02:20 PM (T6aVk)

=======

The most expensive movies cost $400 million.

No Time to Die's budget went high (reportedly $250 million, which I think is reliable because British productions have to report costs to the British government, which become public record).

So, it's so expensive that $775 million means it's honestly near break even at the box office. But then ancillary sales, product placement, pre-booking, and such probably add another nine figures to the revenue stream.

That one watch brand pays something like ten million for the product placement alone.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at June 08, 2026 02:23 PM (IOrWk)

He had completely white thinning hair and just looked old (he was fit and trim). Me I’m no physical specimen and yet I look much younger than he looked at the same age… he’s just one example I could cite many others. We just have better medicine and diet now?

9 I am gonna drop this in from the prior thread, being relevant.

- Rigid container, enough to project the contents from a shovel and not collapse under the weight of soil. PVC actually doesn't work great for modern arms because you need the really fat stuff and it's a pain in the ass, but any cheap hard case will do.

- Mylar bags, the type you'd use to do long term food storage. The heavy stuff that's an oxygen barrier

- Hair straightener (flat iron), the tong style ones, to seal the mylar

- Clean and heavily oil firearms... stick packaged ammo in some ammo cans for a couple of weeks with dessicant to dry them out. Toss either one (not together) into mylar with fresh dessicants and seal it

- Throw it in the hard container, and there you go.

Most modern waterproof cases like Pelicans have goretex vents that will let vapor in, making them unsuitable for burial by themselves. Old school medical chests have clasps that rust, and Hardigg cases have manual pressure valves but may also have latch corrosion, and the valves have to be protected from being activated. The mylar takes on the burden of a vapor barrier instead.

Raman advances to second place, then leads a lackluster campaign into the general or drops out altogether.

She receives a handsome consolation prize from a third-party that can't be traced (yeah, right) back to Bass' campaign.

32 The issue is apparently, you can vote after election day, all you need to do is date your ballot, you don't even need a postmark and the ballot can be signed by simple putting a smilely symbol as your signature.

40 Every Republican needs to memorize a version of this and repeat it until the Dems stop asking:

"In 2000, when the Democrats broke decades of precedent, and began declaring every election they lost as fraudulent, Republicans in FL gave anyone and everyone access to the ballots to look for themselves.
Every major news organization that examined the ballots saw Bush legitimately won.
Full transparency for everyone.
20 years later, not one single Democrat jurisdiction allowed any independent examination of their ballots.
Not one.
So, it's not a question of whether Joe Biden won, it's a question of whether the election was ever legitimate in the first place.
Prove that and I'll answer whether Joe Biden won."

Primaries are weird things in that they both are and aren't elections. They're party selections, and parties have power over who they nominate no matter what. This is CA, though, which has the jungle primary system, making it murkier. It is an election, but it's not really THE election.

There have been multiple reports that the USA of Southern California is looking into this, actually opening investigations.

I suspect that the federal effort at fighting this won't happen in public until November. That Harmeet Dhillon will make it a special focus for the midterms, to chop at the pillars holding up CA election fraud, and the federal DOJ is looking at the primary to scoop up evidence of the specifics around the hows, whos, and whats.

It was obvious from the very beginning they were going to open hell's doors of cheating to prevent him from winning.

And he's ... done nothing, as far as I can tell.

Of course, the "fraud" as we see it, is perfectly legal under CA law.
All of it is all within the rules.

And, realistically, I don't think there is anything he can do:
Because it's almost purely under state law in a local election with no federal candidate on the ballot.
He really doesn't have any basis to file in federal court so any suit will be in the highly-corrupt, completely partisan state courts.

Why Russia, Japan, Israel, Mexico?

People like this are the ones proving to me that humanity is moving backward despite endless access to REAL information.

Mail in voting without controls is a crime against the people of a nation.

Notice that the guy at the top references "widespread" voter fraud, without specifying what he means. It's the old "rich people should pay their fair share" without saying what constitutes a fair share. The answer, of course, is always "more".

Problem is that it’s fa too late for anyone to do anything about this - Pratt was their last, best hope. So now it’s up to the test of the country to see if we are willing to use force to take back control in California, or if we would rather just shut off all the mover and sit back while the state collapses into chaos.

I favor the more proactive approach, as ithink it is a situation that requires leadership, not passivity; but doing nothing is always the easiest path to take.

107 I suspect that SCOTUS will rule against the after election day reception of ballots, and some states will see bifurcation of election processes.

State and local races will count for days.

Federal races will be forced to follow federal law.

Which will create situations where state elections march leftward but federal elections march rightward.

It'll be massively expensive to do two elections at the same time, but, you know, these states aren't exactly afraid of spending money to keep themselves in power.

As for architecture, Berlin and Leipzig had a bunch of vacant lots and spare bricks all over the place, IYKWIM. So they could rebuild with genuine designs from the Stalinist Wedding Cake and Cabrini-Green architectural style.

The ONLY protection on a mail in ballot, is that they are supposed to make sure the signature on the outside of the envelope is the same as on the voter Registration card.

But, you can register via the DMV, or ONLINE...

They supposedly scanned all your signatures, and use some computer program to compare scan in your envelope signature and then it compares it. If invalid it goes to a Human to be verified.

I know for a FACT this entire process is bogus. I'm Lefthanded, but one election cycle I'd broken my Left wrist, so signed with my Right Hand... yet my ballot was not questioned.

Once the Envelope signature is 'verified', there is NO identifying numbers or markings on the ballot itself.

So once out of the envelope, it cannot be tracked as to validity. There is no way to follow that ballot through the process, nor anyway to go back and see if said ballot is fraudulent... like the ballots they found GA with no folding marks on them... which would mean that mail in ballot was never put in any envelope.

I had thought they could do that, the "this was a federal issue in federal court, the SCOTUS ruling doesn't apply to state and local elections."

But, that's not how it goes. Once SCOTUS lays the general principle, it applies to all similar cases, state and local.
The Constitutional principle applies down the line.

It's like Evers in WI trying to say, "the SCOTUS opinion on conversion therapy bans doesn't apply to our conversion therapy ban."
Or, another way, (while it said it specifically there) it'd be like saying "Obergefell only applies to marriage licenses in CA not nationwide."

Post-election private polling must have told the Democrats Bass was damaged goods and would become more and more damaged if she ran against Pratt. The Dems would have made sure she won, but the local press would have kept pestering her about everything Pratt highlighted. Bass is not equipped to deal with a hostile press. Raman isn't either, but the press won't smell blood in the water from her as with Bass.

There was some discussion of that, but the real issue was that many ballot had incorrectly pushed through holes. Which is about impossible to do on a vot-a-matic machine. Well...unless you take a stack of ballots, put them on the machine, and then try to punch through all of them.

On a completely unrelated note, a local Dem in Palm Beach, Irv Slosberg was found to have a stolen vot-a-matic in his car.

Local media interviewed the man that ran the voting site it was taken from who claimed he had no idea how Slosberg got it. Theresa LePore declined to press charges.

"We on the right often joke that “You are the carbon they want to eliminate,” but with the climate cultists now openly endorsing slavery, they are just one small step away from openly advocating for radical “de-population” efforts in pursuit of their Net Zero utopia."

I was not joking. I was not the first to say it, and I will not be the last. You are the carbon that they want to reduce.

You may have thought that was too audacious to be serious, you may have that that I and other people saying it were just making a jest, but it was literally right there out in the open on the (now demolished) Georgia Guidestones. They aren't even hiding it.

"Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

They want to kill you. They want to murder you and yours. Our politics is an actually existential struggle. I'm #SorryNotSorry if this is hard to hear, but it's harder to live, and some (like Charlie Kirk) have already paid the ultimate price just for being there.

Yes, of course late ballots shouldn't be counted. And it's a source of fraud, but it's the mail in ballots in general that are the real source imo.

The pattern is that Collins always comes through when leadership needs her vote.

333 I saw this theft comng the nmorning after the electin when Pratt surged to within 3.8 percent of Bass, and was obviously going to pass her into first place -- and the vote-count suddenly stopped. Froze. And then whenn they started dribbling out results every 12 hours or so, each drubble had nearly zro votesnfor Pratt. When the corrupt Dem operative in charge of counting the voted was asked about this by a reorter, she grinned evilly, and literally said, "Don't worry about it. This is just the primary. Who cars abut the primary? You'll have another bite at the apple in the general election."

Yeah, the general election, where we will only have a choice between two communists.

This interview was 5 days ago. I knew it then -- they were planning to freeze Pratt out.

They showed a breakdown of where each candidates votes were coming from, Pratt's from Beverly Hills and other well to do areas, Bass's from the urban, black and Latino areas, Ramen's from skid row.

Pratt's voters are simply going to move out and or go underground.
