LOL: Netflix Fires Its Head of Film Development, Apparently Due to Its Looming "Narnia" Disaster
Wokeslop Video Game Company Bioware Transitions to "Out of Business" (Pronouns Was/Were)
I mentioned on Friday that Netflix had slashed 1,000 jobs, which is a 6% reduction in its total workforce.
It wasn't just the drones who got the sack."Everyone is collateral damage." That's how one top Netflix insider summarized another bloody Monday at the streamer, which saw Dan Lin ousted as the company's head of film. Following last week's 6% workforce reduction at Netflix -- which claimed victims including chief content officer Bela Bajaria and Lin's right-hand Doug Belgrad -- consensus said it was a matter of time before co-CEO Ted Sarandos would show Lin the door. It took a day. On the heels of the Bajaria news on Thursday, Sarandos rang Lin on Friday to tell him he'd been dismissed, three sources told Variety. The exec kept his head up and pressed on through the weekend, appearing at Saturday's Academy Gala (in the same room as Sarandos) and at a Sunday tastemaker screening to support the filmmakers of "La Bola Negra." As has been summarized in many articles about the Netflix purge, creative leadership at the company is being overhauled amid poor stock performance and declining user engagement on the platform.I wonder why. Clay Travis has a Conspiracy Theory:
Clay Travis
@ClayTravis Netflix is firing all of its top creative leadership after their strategy of make every character gay and trans and every white person black failed to produce strong subscriber growth.
Yes but that was an ideologically-driven feminist making a movie for her fellow feminists out of a toy property designed for girls. It was a natural fit. She didn't gender-bend Barbie, as she did with Aslan. Actually I believe there was a "Trans Barbie" in the movie, but not the Barbie, and anyway, leftwing feminists are all about being Queer Allies. I don't think the Christian families who are the target audience for a Narnia reboot are going to enjoy the Everything for the Gays and the Girlies tone Gerwig will bring. CosmicBookNews's Matt McGloin says he hears the Narnia film -- actually The Magician's Nephew -- is "woke slop."
Competing narratives are flying about why Lin was let go, but they arrive at the same conclusion: In the end, it wasn't working....
There are also some interesting leaks around tension he's said to have with A-list filmmakers like Greta Gerwig and Ben Affleck, which we'll get to. ... Four sources with knowledge of the matter said that, indeed, Lin and Gerwig had a falling out during a Zoom call about the project earlier this year. On a virtual meeting populated by numerous Netflix executives, Lin is said to have been "dismissive" to the director in conversation about the progress of the film. Lin is known in town to be incredibly fair, but at times obtuse in his frankness. Word travelled fast around Netflix that the meeting had gone south, at which point sources said Bajaria called Gerwig's producer Amy Pascal to smooth things over. Two sources also said that Gerwig's new, all-powerful CAA agent Bryan Lourd went to Sarandos directly over the faux pas. Lin was subsequently disappeared from the film, all sources concurred, and Belgrad stepped in as the primary Netflix exec overseeing the project (until, of course, he was laid off last week). None of the sources suggested the incident led to Lin's firing. One Lin defender said he's never "afraid to talk about how to make a movie better." Another person familiar with the company said there are any number of filmmakers who could say the same about Lin's delivery. While it may be juicy to speculate that Gerwig's follow-up to the game changer "Barbie" could be troubled, don't forget that the industry doubted that Margot Robbie film right up to opening weekend. "Barbie" grossed $1.44 billion at the worldwide box office and became the highest-earning release in the history of Warner Bros. Pictures.
He claims that competition from the merged Paramount/Skydance/Warner Bros. corporation is the reason Netflix is making big moves.
"Narnia is a mega woke slop insanity," says the source. "Think Amazon Rings of Power but worse." The $280 million movie is already in serious trouble inside Netflix, where insiders have called it "awful" and "a genuine problem." That report also described friction between Gerwig and Lin over the film, with reshoots ordered after a summer test screening. Now Lin is gone with the movie four months out. The first trailer was hit with 62,000 dislikes and a wave of Marvel comparisons. Narnia hits theaters and IMAX on February 12, 2027, with the Netflix streaming release following on April 2. ... CBN's source says there is a reason it is all happening now.
"Now you know why Netflix was doing everything to stop the merger," says the source. "ParaBros is an existential threat." "ParaBros" is the source's name for Skydance, the merged Paramount and Warner Bros. company that officially closed its deal on October 6. "Did you see they fired Bela and Lin? Heads of series and movies in one week," the source continued, floored that both jobs turned over within days. Our WB insiders add that Lin never got his faith-based projects off the ground at Netflix, which is another reason. The warnings have been on the record for weeks. On October 2, the Paramount source said flat out that "Netflix is in big trouble" and to expect major restructuring and firings. Back on September 2, the source said Disney and Netflix "know what's coming and they're doing EVERYTHING to stop it." And CBN's Narnia report, which flagged Lin and Bajaria as rumored to be on thin ice, ran October 14. Bajaria was out that same evening. Lin followed within days. The firing landed alongside a TheWrap piece Monday arguing Netflix has a quality problem that may be impossible for any film chief to solve. A top talent agent told the outlet that Lin faced the same challenge as his predecessor, Scott Stuber: the Netflix model demands too much volume to consistently put out high-quality movies. CBN's source says that is not just a Netflix problem. "DC Studios, Hulu, Starz, Marvel, and many others face the same problem," says the source. "Glut = Slop." "Will ParaBros stop the madness? We shall see," the source continued. "Ellison wants to invest $$$ in quality but Kreiz is a penny pincher. The honeymoon won't last very long."

Video game studio BioWare announced it would close on Wednesday, marking an end to the organization that released some of the most popular video games in history. Among the top titles from BioWare were Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the Baldur's Gate series, and Mass Effect. "For more than 30 years, BioWare has been more than a studio. It has been a home for storytellers, developers, and players who brought our worlds to life," the statement read. "Now, after more than three decades of shared adventures, BioWare is closing and early development on the next Mass Effect project is ending." Comments on the studio's X post were generally negative, with many users blaming the company's recent release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a fantasy RPG that attracted negative publicity for its inclusion of transgender and left-wing political themes. The release received mixed reviews on Steam. The prior installment of the series, Dragon Age Inquisition, received mostly positive reviews.I never played Inquisition but Larry O'Connor was obsessed with it.
Yup:
Arthur Kimes
@ComradeArthur
For context, Dragon Age: Veilguard was the one where a character started doing pushups to punish themselves for using the wrong pronouns.
Yes, this was a turn-based fantasy RPG.

@jammach
Go woke?
Go broke. BioWare has finally ended its slow, torturous suicide, started by the absolute mess of Mass Effect: Andromeda which shoehorned a ridiculous two dimensional girl boss as the lead. It should have been a well rounded, capable, believable female character but it was an insult. They then followed this up with Dragon Age: Veilguard which introduced trans characters complete with customisable mastectomy scars and pronouns. Oh and one of the NPC characters is non binary and you get lectured about it in a 10min cut scene. Veilguard flopped. Rightly so. People want fantasy and escapism. They don't want lectures about how boring, bigoted and heterosexual they are. So, good riddance BioWare.
People are still citing this woke abortion as the moment they realized that "creators" have absolutely no interest in pleasing the actual audience and just want to appeal to woke warrior "critics" at IGN and Screen Junkies.

Fincher was the creative flagship.
And Lin wouldn't give him the budget for reshoots Fincher wanted on The Further MisAdventures of Cliff Booth, giving him enough only for a few days instead of a few weeks. And Fincher refused to renew his contract afterwards.

It is very, very rare if we see a movie on Netflix, Amazon or wherever the remote takes us at night. So rare we comment on the story being good.
The people who choose this garbage are either very stupid, liberal loons, or clueless of what anyone wants in 2026.
In general I hate everyone in Hollywood who dreams this crap up.
Is it because books are stupid now as well?
Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies and discovered watching online decades ago. I loved the entire movie, altho directed by Rob Reiner in one of his sane moments. The book given to him by his father.
The book and screenplay were rejected by many movie moguls til it was given to Reiner (who went loco and, as we all know, is now dead by his more insane son...and that was horrible no matter who Reiner was regarding his Trump blurtings of feces).
The theater opening of the movie did not make much $ due to weird marketing of wth is this? Comedy/romance/fairy tale?
It took being seen in homes to make it a hit and bring royalties. The casting was perfection.
I do wish they would give us cuts of Billy Crystal's ad libbing his parts. It was said Reiner had to leave the set he was laughing so hard.

Late 2024, but they also flopped with Anthem(badly) and Mass Effect Andromeda(more modestly), though it's harder to argue those were due to wokeness.
If they weren't going to be killed by Veilguard, it's probable Mass Effect 5 was going to kill them, having had a prolonged development cycle and apparently not much to show for it.
EA was taken private and had a bunch of debt added to it so there's more pressure to perform.

This is genuinely not that hard to manage.
You create tiers.
The bottom tier is cheap genre slop. You spend 8 weeks, max, making each thing, and pump them out constantly.
The middle tier. 16 weeks. More serious dramas and decently sized action movies and thrillers.
High tier. Elite filmmakers doing their thing. Netflix has the money. Just throw it at David Fincher to make whatever he wants every 2 years.

Translated from Haitian Creole
To the gang leaders and gang members holding our four compatriots hostage in Haiti:
Our kidnapped men are not combatants. They are aviation technicians who are part of our mission in Haiti, within the framework of an international mission. Our mission consists only of pilots and technical personnel, whose primary job is to carry out medical evacuations and save lives, not to wage war.
However, they were kidnapped in a cowardly manner while returning after buying food at a market in the area.
That is why, today, we have launched a military operation to rescue them. We have a single objective: to bring our four compatriots back home alive, without any harm.
However, I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive.
And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too.
We still have time to avoid this.
Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was bef

Netflix apparently runs at a profit, like the only major streamer to do it.
And part of it is that they constantly have content to discover, and people like their formulaic genre slop.
But, yeah, there's a reason Disney abandoned the "pay extra for a new movie" model with Mulan and went back to theatrical releases after covid. Most of the time, there's just not enough money coming in from streaming to justify the massive costs.
Cheap genre stuff has always been the cash flow grease to the wheels of the film industry. From cheap westerns in the silent period to New Line existing because of Freddy Kreuger.

Thank private equity.
seeing all the fucking chuds doing victory laps and making pronoun jokes sucks. The studio didn’t die because of being fucking “woke”, it died because of capitalism causing the chasing of trends and starting the decline of the studio over the last 10 years. But they’re too dumb to see
One of assmolds chuds in a deleted response gave my reply here the popcorn award, and is commenting on my other posts not even related to DA lol
Gamers are famous for rooting for the destruction of the hobby at all costs. Seriously some deranged people.
The comments on X are vile, holy shit. I grew up with bioware, they really have a deep place within my heart. So very sorry to see them go.

I'm sooooo not a gamer. I tried, but everything bored me. I open up these consoles with more windows than Photoshop. You can boost your weapons by trading credits that you get by selling ingots that pop into your vault at the rate of 1 every 7 minutes, and cartoon characters with no elements of human psychology except "MUST. WIN. VICTORY." vie for resources.

EA also publishes the Sims series... which has also turned into woke garbage.
In Sims 4 you could create custom people for your town... make them Hetero, and the game would randomly change them to Bi or Gay.

Character creation is not like I remember. It was state of the art when they introduced the butt size slide lever, and the boob size slide lever. But, I'm a little confused how you would customize mastectomy scars.
Three categories:
1. Organ theft type scars (pronounced and infected)
2. Bad doctor due to DEI scars (also, pronounced with daily medication required to stay lucent)
3. Above average doctor, scars barely visible, but character shows them to every other character anyway.

The gender bending Aslan, for instance, is purposefully antagonistic dressed up as “art”. This is a Christian story written by a Christian theologian and there is no mistaking who Aslan represents.

The problem is that the money filter has been gone for the last 10-15 years. In the past, people who made bad movies, aka flops, very quickly stopped getting asked to make new ones, sometimes after a single failure. Netflix and their brothers in woke don't care (or at least didn't) if the property makes money.
I think those days are rapidly coming to a close, because as the old saying goes, something that can't go on forever, won't.

It has a selection of new and old shows.
The TCM section usually has some great old movies and some recent ones from the 90s and 2000s.

2) Even the good stuff is released binge style which only works well for content with Many episodes, like 3 years of shows old school where it was 20 shows a season

Hollywood did just fine the model of having volume. You just make some low budget, some experimental, some mid budget and only a few high quality and expensive - mostly sure things with proven teams.
A product of that is you could develop and train people who could make a movie that looked good without high cost and appealed to many audiences.
Now they put crap producers and writers with axes to grind against their audience. What movies are successful? Those that don't attack the audience like Barbie or Oppenheimer.

Rome is the granddaddy of the all. Napoleon is a lot more difficult, but less epic. You gotta play it a lot to figure out the sequence of not just things to build or units to create but also the order of cities to attack. Its all about no wasted turns. Which sort of sucked the creativity out of it for me. Rome is very replayable. There are a lot of mods for it, and if you get frustrated easily, a lot of cheats.

I'm very curious how closely the money is tracked by the accountants. You'd think every last dollar has to be accounted for.
But I kind of think it's more like giving Ukraine a billion dollars. No one knows what happens to it - they just FEEL GOOD knowing they tried.
Meanwhile, hookers and coke all around...

***********
We hate it when the wimpy series writers stop after a max of 8 shows til the next season.
Part of going back to school pain when I was young was knowing TV's current shows were back, baybee! At least 20 or more shows for the school year, ending in May.
Now these prima donnas can't be bothered as 6 or 8 exhaust them.
We'll start something then say,nah. Usually due to stupid, now and then mindless gore (altho we are ok with violence after Justified and 24 numbed our brains).
I miss shows like Justified and Longmire. Or anything I can get into. We are watching Marshall and Tulsa King just to watch something. My dude hates Dana Delaney, by the way. I was watching, knew her voice, and her name popped into my memory.
This is beside the point, but she denies plastic surgery except Botox,that she quit after an eye drooping. Bull. She and Jennifer Anniston have had chin implants or something wacky and look more masculine. I will die on this hill.
I'm binging China Beach with Delaney, and there is no way she didn't mess herself up with plastic surgery. In the movie, Tombstone, she still looked normal.

Having gone into a much more indepth study of directors over the years, I want to test a theory on you I have brought up here before: directors go in cycles, and in the past we've had wave come and wave go with short periods (if at all) between the waves. You had the earliest directors, who phased into the mid 20th ceutnry masters, who phased into the 70s masters and... um... that's pretty much it.
Who's our next Spielberg? Who is going to replace guys like Cameron and Ridley Scott? All these guys who have been there putting out stuff all our lives are gone or going. Some should have retired years ago like Scott.
There just does not seem to be a new coming wave of great directors. Villeneuve and Nolan are not making it.

Disney had the same problem. Like five years ago they announced this huge wave of stuff they were gonna put out, and I just looked at it with dismay: it was too much, too fast. It takes time to put out good movies, and there's only so much talent out there that CAN make anything good.
If you require too much output, then even the best, fastest workers cannot keep up and you end up with Bob the Janitor doing coverage for your Star Wars movie. And to make matters worse, they started casting diectors and writers rather than hiring: what do they look like? What are their politics? What is their proclivity in the bedroom? Put them in charge!
Marvel put out like 8 movies and TV shows based solely on the talent having worked on the Rick & Morty show. That they were asian and black and women and homosexual was just icing on top of the cake!
But it turns out that the cake was made of reasty dog crap because they didn't have what it takes to actually make a movie or a TV show.

Problem is in about the 60s the 'minor leagues' of movies was cut off by TV and the lack of cheap local theatres to make B movies and play them. What allows you to slide in a new director is either to have him working with an A list one, or to have some experience doing smaller projects. Once you quit refilling that pool of people, you eventually run out.
Posted by: Oldcat at October 21, 2026 05:08 PM (uhVAy)

Then dumbing down even further with very bad writing.

On the one hand its stupid - the servants of the god of war look like murders, the servants of the god of disease look disgusting, and the servants of the good of magic look like aliens. So presumably the Slaaneshi followers should look more like Morathi (hot half nekkid elf queen)
But on the other hand the chaos gods are BAD. They enjoy screwing with people. So it makes perfect sense that Slaaneshi demons would use illusion to get you to want them and then look like, well, crab armed DIADs when you wake up in the morning, sort of like the danger of beer googles at a Boston area bar.

some guy comes out as gay before the big fight.
This is why conservatives should NEVER watch a show until it's completely over. Star Trek Strange New Worlds which has had some great shows and had younger Kirk, Spock, Uhura, hottie Chapel and Scottie had cool episodes.
Overall, not too bad. But the last 2 season 4 episodes - gay crap just because they would. I won't watch any more new series until they're completed simply because of that reason.

Minnesota Senate Election Trending Red?
The Cook Political Report has shifted its rating of the Minnesota Senate race toward the Republican candidate, marking one of the only instances of a major Senate race seemingly moving toward the GOP this cycle. Cook moved the contest from "likely" to "lean" Democratic, as polls show Republican nominee Michelle Tafoya closing in on Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, D-Minn.So they still think the bizarre evil Karen is ahead, but only by a smidge. The parties have more accurate polls. And the Democrats have cancelled ads in Minnesota, while the Republicans are buying ad space up. These tea leaves are hard to read. The Democrats may be ending advertising because they think they have this in the bag. But... Flanagan can't get over 50% in a very blue state. She's stuck at 46%, which isn't so great for a virtual incumbent.
That raises the question of why the DSCC stopped investing in Flanagan's race. Do Democrats think Flanagan is out in front enough so that they can shift their funds to other races, perhaps betting on potential pickups in Texas, Maine, or Iowa? Or do they look at Flanagan's inability as a quasi-incumbent to get to 50% in a state that's been safely blue for over 20 years as a flashing red alarm about her prospects, and have decided to stop investing in a loss? Dustin Grage told Larry O'Connor earlier this week, before the NRSC bought ad space for Tafoya, that internal polling showed results that differed from the publicly published surveys, including those tracked by RCP. Of course, we can pose similar questions to the NRSC. What do they see in Minnesota that's prompting them to spend money there rather than, say, Nebraska, Kansas, or Iowa? Ken Paxton's Senate campaign against James Talarico has tons of funding from the Senate Republican caucus already through its Senate Leadership Fund, which put over $30 million into Texas PAC, and Elon Musk (America PAC) and MAGA Inc are spending obscene amounts of money here. Either NRSC sees something in its private polling that suggests Tafoya is close enough for a final push or they want to force Democrats to redirect funds to play defense in Minnesota.
For those of you who say "Poll are for strippers:" Maybe it's worse that that. A "polling" firm called Wedgewood Polling consistently showed outsized leads for Democrat candidates, including in districts where no one else showed any chance for a Democrat win. Charles Schumer directed some ad spending in these no-win races. But Wedgewood turns out to have been a completely fake operation. They're claiming their completely-fake polls were a "social experiment" to expose the lack of rigor in polling and in media poll coverage. But maybe this is a cover story. Maybe it was just a Democrat op to demoralize Republicans all along.
'We're fake!' Wedgewood Polls announced Tuesday night that they're not a real polling agency but a social experiment. A statement issued by the 'pollsters' says it conducted the so-called experiment 'to demonstrate the vulnerabilities, lack of oversight, and overall low barrier to entry in the modern political polling industry.' Major media outlets like the New York Times and MS NOW have cited Wedgewood Polls. If they were fooled, it shows how easy it is to break into the polling industry and be touted as reliable from the get-go.
🚨 "Wedgewood Polls" just announced it was a FAKE POLLSTER and was listed in outlets like the NYT and MSNOW
Their "polls":
🔵 Texas: Talarico+2
🔵 Ohio: Brown+4
🔵 Michigan: El Sayed+6
🔵 Kansas: Hamilton+2
🔵 Maine: Jackson+4 This is INSANE. https://t.co/N3ZAEIxZSn— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 21, 2026

2) Actual federal oversight for fraud
3) End of Bidenflation
4) Redistricting
On the data trending D side you have:
1) Gas prices went back to what they were under Biden after originally going down
So this election really should be a red wave.

I hope they fight. I will pray they fight and add them to my prayers. Which wander around politics at the end. Sometimes I think God alerts my Daddy to come hear me..."She's here again!"
I have prayed for the health and safety of President Turmp, VP Vance, their families and friends, and his administration since the election. "That any plan against them fail."
This is after I pray against evil, corruption, fraud of our enemies, and protection of our country and military. And then conk out asleep.

Like most states with problem cities that want to be socialist communes.
Everybody outside the cities of Minnesota, and probably 30% in the cities, can’t believe the nuthouse they've seen their state turned into.

By "rarely" do you mean "99% of the time except the final polls"?
If you limit the pollsters to their final polls, yes, they keep things to margin of error.
However, you should never limit them to final polls. And, you should be rigorous with them.
42-40 in a poll where the result is 50-48 is not right. The margin is the same, but each individual statistic is outside the margin of error of the final result, the actual data. They got it wrong.
But, we have this overall pattern of polls "tightening" or "moving right" from summer to fall and into election season. That's not a natural movement. That's pollsters trying to use their believability from their final polls 2 years before to get you to believe outright lies in summer in the next election.
Pollsters, as an industry, deserve as much benefit of the doubt as journalists.

Despite the utility that polling has for propaganda and mind fuckening, the cycle *always* goes to "polling is useless" when the election cycle is done - so they're only riding the wave, not making news.
PLUS the Left doesn't want people to have trust in polling, just like how they treat every other institution. And of course accurate polls would make it far easier to suss out The Cheat after the fact. So they poison the well.

TBF, some of the more honest pollsters (I know, I know) admit they have an existential problem in getting conservatives to answer their inquiries.
In science, if you can't come to a conclusion because of a flawed methodology or defective data, you'd better bloody well say so. These are not scientists.

Harvard-Harris is the best pollster of the last decade, at least on the generic congressional ballot.
Their average miss is about 1% over that period.
But EVERYONE dismisses them as "Republican aligned". Even Republicans.

He hands her the clear plastic bag the other stuff was in and tells her it's her Halloween mask.

But real footage exists not just for the upsidedown flag Fai was standing in front of, but all her dumbass inbred supporters.

Interesting. I've had emails from Ed this year after our grandson's stuffed Lambie got lost on a flight. Which was, we think, thrown away as Lambie was no longer white afte 8yrs, and found in the window well of the plane and tossed.
Ed alerted his staff in 4 airports after I emailed him. The local PR person at the airport hand delivered a ton of stuff for our sweet boy later that week to help. I had people from JFK and Orlando emailing me photos of stuffed animals for ID. [I know this sounds wacky but it's true]
My dude said Ed was probably an assitant, but it was his phone, and the PR person said it was Ed.
Do I need to email Ed about this? Will look into it tonight after chores to see what he said.
We are Delta People for generations. Granted I flew anything in college that was cheap to return me home and back, but I'd rather walk, dragging my suitcase, then fly Frontier or some other airlines.

The bigger problem is the idea that the pollster's shield of "aggregate of a handful and their final polls" still seems to work with people.
Marist is in almost no aggregates, but because "the polls" were pretty close to "right" 2 years ago, we have to take Marist seriously even though Marist has a long history of sucking.
That's what giving the benefit of the doubt does. It lends credence to literal junk.

Collins was always going to win.
She won in the worst GOP environment in recent memory (2020) by 8 points when all the polls said she'd lose by 8.
And then the Platner drama, the Jackson switch, and then the Jackson burp.
And Collins does as leadership demands of her. She always votes for leadership goals when she needs to (Kavanaugh). She's miles better than someone like Murkowski.

The scene starts out with the medium pretending to channel ol' Stan and the Warlock, played well by Julian Sands, sits back and says he'll wait for the real Old Scratch to show up and there's a minute or two more where the medium pretends she's really channeling him...and then there's a abrupt change and Satan really shows up.

I was amused because the Paki woman at first took histrionic umbrage at the very idea that Muslims have very high rates of first cousin marriage, and that that led to low IQs, and then fell back to the "others do it too" argument. Motte and Bailey much?

Margin of error is on each individual statistic.
So, a 47-50 poll with a 3.5 MOE means that it could be from 43.5 on the low end for the one point to 53.5 on the high end for the other.
It's borderline useless for precision.

And that's the beauty of polling. Here in Texas they have talerico ahead by 2-3 points, well within the margin of error of the polls which is at 3.2% for most of them. Even when he losses they can claim they got it correct. It's literally a scam and people keep paying them to conduct polls.

What keeps happening is this:
-- Leftist activists set up a fake polling company
— Issue fake polls to push DSA candidates over Dem and GOP candidates.
— IF (note that word: "If") they get caught, then they issue a pre-written excuse: "We simply set up this fake poling company as a test to see how much the media could be fooled by fake polling companies. Gotcha!"
Uh huh.
— But IF they DON'T get caught (which probably happens all the time), then they never do their big Mea Culpa., and their polls continued to be used right up to the election to demoralize any candidate that opposes the communist agenda.
Even worse, these fake polls are always included in the "polling averages," and since they're left-skewing outliers, they skew the average of ALL polls.
So yeah, we outed two or three of these con artists, who then all falsely claimed to be social scientists performing an experiment. But, that raises the question:
How many HAVEN'T ben outed yet?
Probably dozens of them.
Conclusion: Do not trust polls. Even a little bit.

"Even Donald Trump no longer thinks Donald Trump will win the election, which is why he is spending so much time talking about the election being rigged and bragging about having gone to an Ivy League school.
"Campaign coverage at this point has the feeling of a party that has gone on too long, but which still has an hour left on the official clock. Some reporters are gamely trying to keep in the spirit of things, but others are ostentatiously looking at their watches and starting conversations about the shape of a future Clinton presidency, or getting an early jump on the campaign autopsies.
"An autopsy of the Trump campaign seems singularly pointless. To a first approximation, he has no campaign. The more interesting question is: What happens to the Republican Party in the wake of Trump?"

OH is looking like a wipeout against the Ds. Their metro numbers are trash.
GA is seeing rather steep black turnout declines already. Maybe not enough to undo Ossoff, but he can't like what he's seeing.
TX is just presidential turnout from both parties, and the state is deep red.
GOP is doing well in NV and FL.
NC is the only Dem bright spot (heck, even VA is less pronounced than last year where early voting analysis saw the D's winning pretty early and convincingly), and even that is eroding pretty quickly (quickly enough for Whatley? No one knows, but it seems doubtful). NC will be a 3 point or less race, and both parties will scream that they didn't spend enough on it when it's over.

The Federal Government Identified 20,000 Mail-In Votes In California Likely Cast by Illegal Aliens. California Refuses to Segregate These Ballots to Verify the "Voters'" Eligibility to Vote Before Counting Them.
In addition, California admitted to a federal court they have no mechanism whatsoever to verify that voters are legally eligible and rely exclusively on the voters' say-so that he can cast a legal vote.
The federal government just arrested 28 people living in California for illegally voting while being Maryland Fathers.The Department of Justice on Monday announced a string of arrests related to alleged voter fraud in California. "This causes real damage to real elections and real damage to American citizens," a DOJ official said in a press conference. The DOJ also announced that it was bringing charges against 28 noncitizens illegally registered to vote, including some who did cast votes. "These are not isolated instances," another official said, before confirming that the DOJ was reviewing thousands of alleged illegal voting cases across the country.
Tony Seruga
@TonySeruga Oct 20 🚨 20,000+ POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL VOTER REGISTRATIONS IN CALIFORNIA. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE ANSWERS. Wake the f*ck up! You are being gaslit by the Marxist left. This list isn't assembled from rumors or political speculation. According to the DOJ, federal investigators used immigration databases, identity matching, multiple verification layers, manual USCIS reviews, supervisory oversight, and law-enforcement screening to identify more than 20,000 likely noncitizens on California's voter rolls. And now, 28 foreign nationals have been criminally charged with alleged election-related offenses in California. Every flagged registration deserves proper verification. But here's the question California officials must answer: WHY WOULD ANY STATE RESIST VERIFYING VOTER ELIGIBILITY WHEN FEDERAL AUTHORITIES PRESENT DOCUMENTED CONCERNS? Every unlawful ballot potentially cancels out the legitimate vote of an American citizen. Election integrity is not voter suppression. Protecting eligible voters from wrongful removal is equally essential. Thank you, @USAttyEssayli, for bringing the methodology into public view. VERIFY THE RECORDS. PROTECT LEGAL VOTERS. ENFORCE THE LAW. 🇺🇸
The SCIF
@TheSCIF L.A. officials have confirmed to a federal court that they cannot and have no way to verify a voter's citizenship, besides on what the voter claims their citizenship status is... This should tell you everything you need to know. "The Registrar is not equipped or authorized to verify voter citizenship because it does not independently house citizenship-related information beyond the voter attestation as identified in federal and state law, and is certainly not equipped to do so within the election period."
Massive concession: Los Angeles election officials just told a federal court they have no independent way to verify citizenship beyond what voters attest. (They simply take their word for it.) Under federal law, only citizens may vote in federal elections. Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots. American citizens’ votes are being diluted in California.

This is the methodology behind our list of 20,000+ likely noncitizen registrants in California: data cleaning, identity matching, removal of citizens and deceased individuals, manual USCIS review, supervisory sign-off, and law-enforcement screening.

Trump is going to lose this one when it eventually goes to SCOTUS. They have already ruled that states are in control of the voting process in their state per the constitution. All we can hope for is that these prosecutions and others will shut down the illegals voting pipeline and I suspect that is the entire point of these prosecutions.

I've seen nothing in my life that dissuades me of that belief, and quite a lot (like this post here) that confirms it.
Without illegals voting, Democraps would not win a single election anywhere in the country, outside of small leftist AWFuL conclaves. This is why the Dems fight to the death to keep any illegals from being thrown out, because every one that leaves is a lost vote.

Don't think so. Not only did the DOJ send out the list of 20,000 names they suspected were not eligible to vote, the DOJ told them that election officials could be charged with a felony for every illegal vote they allowed to be counted after they were made aware the voter was not eligible. California officials ignore them.

Not exactly.
Time, manner and place are left up to the states.
But eligibility to vote is determined by the Constitution.
And the other cases you're probably thinking of were decided on the narrow grounds that the federal government hadn't passed legislation on that issue--but clearly left open "if there was a law, we'd rule otherwise."
Hence, the SAVE Act.

That question is going to have to be answered by SCOTUS. Two weeks ago a federal district judge in miami ruled that prohibiting non citizens from voting in federal elections is unconstitutional.
Pretty sure we are being set up and the liberals are hoping this ruling gets appealed and goes all the way to SCOTUS. And after the ruling in the birthright citizenship case it stands a good chance of being upheld allowing all non citizens to vote in federal elections.
The democrats are playing the long game here.

National Voter Registration Act of 1993. One of the requirements is that states are required to clean their voter rolls to insure only eligible voters are voting. It's not a request, it's the law.
But it has been ignored by many states for years because nobody did anything about it. Harmeet Dhillon got many state voter rolls over the last year and a half but not all states complied and they are being sued. That's why the DOJ warned CA about the 20,000 illegals they knew of. They told Newsom's administration and they ignored him. That's how they knew to arrest those 28 so fast. They were waiting for them.
Somebody(s) in CA is getting indicted.

Start towing away all the charter busses that are parked a couple of blocks away. First off, the charter companies will have to rethink who they rent to. Kind of hard to run a bus company if you don't have busses.
Plus, the paid rioters don't have a ride to their staging areas where their personal cars are parked. Make the fuckers walk home.
Or if the local commie cocksucker city government starts complaining about the Feds and jurisdiction, just follow the busses after the riot until they park, then detain them as they exit.

"The premise is that intelligence is not a neutral information processor. It is a preference-bound system that both CAN and, by structure, CANNOT AVOID filtering, reframing, or ignoring evidence to protect a preferred model of the world.
"Under that constraint, civilizational epistemology cannot rely on “just be objective” or “educate people better.” It has to treat motivated reasoning as a permanent load-bearing feature and design around it."

There was a fender bender on the interstate in FL. The driver of the car who hit was Hispanic and released. The van that was hit held a womman and man of same origin. Sweating profusely (well, FL humidity) and shifty eyes.
Deputy asked for ID and she refused, wanted lawyuh, porque. Man gave ID. Both detained as they were being processed. She would not give country of origin, yet had been in the USA 26yrs and no habla English (right). A daughter arrives to help (cop had translater cop on phone).
He explains he's been very patient with this BS (he didn't say BS) and that the two of them were going to be processed somewhere by ICE. More sweating and shifty eyes.
Daughter says Madre is here legally as, "she has work papers." Right!!! Deputy tells her she's being processed (while thinking, "Tough sheet, womman, GET OUT!").
Then I went on to other things.

Voting roles are legal documents and should be controlled and public and fixed weeks before an election (no late or same day registration.)
This is necessary to allow the public (mostly through the parties) to canvass and make sure the names on the list are real, the people exist, and the addresses are valid. This is all part of the necessary process and how it used to be done.
The dems have attacked this at every step. This is the magic of the "dominion system," not the voting, but the registration process.
Verification of the rolls should be done by the parties, with local input from local candidates who have a stake in the election. If errors, fraud, etc. are found they go to judge and judge forces state (or usually county or city) to fix it. That has to happen weeks before election. Dems have made it all impossible.

It would take 14 Democrat senators to convict.
Plus, retaining all GOP senators (including Mitch, Murkowski, Tillis, Cassidy, Cornyn, and Ernst).
Failed impeachments always, always make the impeached target more powerful politically because it "clears" them of the "charges" (it's a political process, not legal).
So, when people demand impeachment that's doomed to fail, all I see is demands for failure theater that will make the other side stronger politically.

Whenever I vote here in California, if I try to present and show my ID, the poll workers literally slap my hand away, and angrily say, "No ID!"
This has been true for decades.
I have even a few times noted to the poll workers that without any verification, anybody could walk up to any polling station and claim to be me, or anyone else.
Silent glare. Then, "Do you want to vote or not?" handing me the ballot.
I just have always assumed that fraud was universal, blatant, out in the open, and completely encouraged by the authorities. One often sees shambling homeless bums in the voting line, too. No fixed residence. Shrug.
Not sure why this is suddenly some "surprising" new "issue." All election results in California are fake, and everyone has known it for many years.

I'm sure that's part of the plan. Latest guy I saw to get busted for attempting to illegally register to vote had erroneously given a Real ID (or maybe green card holders get those, I don't know) and he had no idea, or so he said, but he really might have had no idea.

The main problem is the vote harvesting and mail in in general that allows massive fraud using legit voters. This is how the muslims are getting elected -- they have a machine that votes for them. They may not need illegals.
But the illegal issue is one that the public pays attention to because there really is no excuse to have illegals on the roles.

That's 100,000 contacts to get 100 voters. They'd need at least 400-500 for a decent sample. Not a good one, a decent one.

One thing that would be worth looking into is that allegedly you are supposed to have a basic knowledge of English to become a citizen (with an exemption for a few elderly, long-term green card holders), and yet we have millions of "citizens" who seem to have no knowledge of English whatsoever.
Exactly when and how did USCIS stop enforcing the English-language requirement?

Same stupid stunt Ro Khanna pulled. Go into an area that the IDF has designated restricted because there's still a war going on just for the purpose of getting arrested to get a headline.

Not even arrested. His xeet was from inside a bus, and they appeared to merely be detained at a checkpoint. His last stunt in that vein was similar, and similarly misrepresented to the eagerly gullible Jew-haters of his party.

OK, this has 2 possible meanings. Either that they don't have a flag in the database that says "Citizen, yes or no", or that they don't have their own copy of all of the data the feds are using to check on the names.
The first has two answers: "Why not?" or "So, how do you certify that you have validated the registration in all fashions?" (It should involve things like, "Do they actually live at the address provided?" and "Are they really who they claim to be?") Is there ANY auditing that goes con of voter registration? (Or ANY registration with the CA government, anywhere?)
The second is answered with "Ummm, that's why the feds have all of these databases, and even asked you to use them."

PHP is a web development scripting language.
It is what replaced HTML on much of the internet.
Brave AI:
PHP currently stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, a recursive acronym where the first "PHP" refers to the language itself.
Originally, the acronym stood for Personal Home Page (specifically Personal Home Page Tools), as the language was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1993 to maintain his personal homepage. The name was changed to the current recursive form with the release of PHP 3 in 1998.
PHP is a general-purpose, open-source, server-side scripting language primarily used for web development and creating dynamic web pages.

Well, not necessarily the illegals themselves. I doubt very many (though more now than used to be, given the boldness the Biden admin gave them) actually fill out ballots in their own name or go to the polls. But the names on the rolls give other people the ability to generate bogus votes in those names. So, the illegals are necessary on the rolls, so that the "regular" vote fraud can take place with "real" ballots.

America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Releases Fundraising Video as the Walls Close All Around Her
Someone on Twitter pointed out that the trees in the background of this typical left-wing woman car video were all full and green, whereas the trees in Minnesota are of course going bare.
So she recorded this video over the summer. But she did release it Tuesday.Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) raised her head to beg for more cash as she vowed to return to the campaign trail and fight the federal investigation into her immigration status. The lefty "Squad" member posted a minute-long video from the back of a car Tuesday night as she continues to lay low since her home was searched as part of the sprawling federal probe. She thanked her supporters for sending donations that she said would help "fight Trump and his administration for trying to intimidate me and so many other people right before the midterm elections." ... "I'll be out there campaigning alongside all of you and making sure that we beat back all of this and that we win in the midterms -- win the House, win the Senate and hold this administration accountable," she continued...I know that many of you are surprised to see this foreign pirate spy grifting for money. "That's not the Ilhan Omar I know," you're probably thinking. But life is strange and sometimes it throws you a real curveball. I suggest you take the advice of some traveling philosophers and just roll with the changes. AG Todd Blanche points out that Ilhan Omar has not been subject to a gag order, despite attacking the DOJ as corrupt. Trump, of course, was hit with gag order after gag order for criticizing the Democrat lawfare corps.
"It is going to be a very expensive and challenging time and so we appreciate whether you're able to send $5, $10, $20," she said, ending with a "Thank you."
Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is allowed to speak freely about the federal immigration fraud investigation against her -- a privilege President Trump was not afforded during his legal woes, Attorney General Todd Blanche noted on the latest episode of "Pod Force One." Blanche, who served as Trump's personal lawyer when the president faced four criminal indictments during his 2024 campaign, couldn't discuss the details of the ongoing case against Omar but drew a contrast between the Minnesota Democrat's treatment and the various gag orders imposed on Trump. "To the extent that [Omar's] commented on it, one of the things that she said is that we're not going to keep her quiet, right? We're not trying to keep her quiet," Blanche told "Pod Force One" host Miranda Devine. ... Former Special Counsel Jack Smith asked judges to place gag orders on Trump in the election interference and classified documents cases. Smith was successful in the election interference case, but a judge denied the prosecutor's effort to keep Trump from discussing the classified documents case. The president was also subjected to gag orders during his civil fraud and "hush money" trials in Manhattan.Trump refused to comment on the Ilhan "Omar" investigation, stating that ethics required him to be silent about an ongoing criminal matter. Just kidding.
President Trump said on Tuesday that Rep. Ilhan Omar could be jailed for lying about her age and described her home country of Somalia as a real "s--t house." "She's a sick, very dishonest person, who hates our country, and she comes from a country that is essentially not even a country, Somalia," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "It's a real s--t house." ... Trump also suggested the offense could land her behind bars. "She could go to jail," he said. "They keep talking about deportation." ... "I hope they treat her fairly, but she's a very dishonest person," the president said of the federal probe. Trump went off on Omar and Gov. Tim Walz during the Oval Office event, charging them as "100% guilty" of facilitating widespread benefit fraud in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. "The governor is 100% guilty. He's 100% guilty. He's a fraud. He's a thief. He's a crook, and he's getting away by just getting out of office," Trump said of Walz while announcing a new incentive program meant to reward tipsters who blow the whistle on additional theft. The president then referred to Omar as "that little congresswoman, lovely little woman she is." "She knew, they all knew," Trump went on.
Ilhan Omar finally breaks her silence..
She just posted a TikTok from the back of a car, eyes swollen and red, begging for $5, $10, and $20 donations. This comes days after federal agents searched her home, seized her phone, and obtained her DNA and passport in an immigration fraud investigation. She says it’s an “expensive and challenging time” fighting “Trump intimidation.”— Justin Barclay (@MrJustinBarclay) October 21, 2026

Even if a miracle happens and MN somehow overcomes the fraud and elects a Republican senator her district is about as safe as it gets.

Female, Muslim, Minority, and democrat. The holy grail of intersectionality that they hate the most.
MAGA know the charges are nonsense. The real punishment is the crippling legal costs to defend yourself. If it can happen to a sitting Congresswoman, it can happen to anyone.
She has no support from Dem leadership, it is shameful. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are cowards unworthy of leadership positions.
I used to say that they were controlled opposition, but it's so beyond that now. They are paid actors and contributors to the hate and bigotry of this nation.
She’s a threat to all of maga and this administration!! Protect this girl at all costs! I want her to stick it to trump when we get the house and take back America
Every single human interaction from anyone in a place of power ends with begging for money in 2026. Obama was outraged right? He can't break off legal fees for her? Gotta try and squeeze the populace? Jfc

It was a big "Oh yeah? I love America more than YOU!!! And I have a list of reasons to prove it!" One of them was "The military families who say grace each night with an empty seat at the table. The servicemen and women who love this country so much, they leave those they love most to defend it."
She was a big fan of the military and people saying grace, you see.

That's the difference between the right and the left. Because that ruling is stupid on stilts, and worthy of large-scale rioting like what is going on in France. There's no way in hell that OUR TAX MONEY should be spent on such trivial and yet such immoral bullshit. Its an affront to everything that is decent and moral and to anyone with even a whit of common sense.
But...the right has jobs, and responsibilities, so we just wait a little longer until "the line" gets crossed for the ten thousandth time. And maybe...just maybe...we'll sure show 'em then!

Yes to both. They had an affair. The ex is a DC doctor who helped set the husband’s business up and supported him while he grew it. Ilhan was a client, and she claimed he left her right as he was starting to earn real money. She cited the adultery in her divorce filing, which, and I hope you are sitting down, Ilhan denied. Total and complete lie. The couple had a 13 year old son.

I actually went to 2 Jeb rallies. I went to the second (it was, like 50 people at a golf club) because I didn't get his signature at the first. I also got Lindsay Graham's signature at the second. He was tiny. Almost put him in my pocket.

I get the sense that the Bush's are a spent force in Texas politics except at the margins.
The 2022 AG race was probably the last real attempt they could make at being relevant, and they lost badly (Paxton's troubles with impeachment had just started, and he still whooped P. Bush).
Now? 4 years later with many of their key allies kicked out of the legislature because of the Paxton impeachment attempt which failed? Might as well ask the Rockefellers about politics in New York.

I just received an automated email from the state of California, urgently informing me of an "Ebony Alert" -- a teenage girl was missing.
I said to myself, "I've heard of Amber Alerts, but -- Ebony Alerts? What is that?"
But I immediately had a sense of dread. I feared even Googling it. But I took the plunge, and -- yep - it's as bad as I feared. Worse, even:
"In 2022, California created the "Feather Alert" for missing Indigenous people in 2022,. Then in 2023, California's passed the “Ebony Alert” law -- the first of its kind in the nation to prioritize the search for Black youth gone missing."
Wait -- re you telling me that there is a STATE LAW that gives HIGHER PRIORITY to some ethnic groups over others?
How is this not blatantly unconstitutional?
So, If a group of four girls go missing -- one black, one white, one Asian, and one Native American -- the police are REQUIRED BY LAW to search for the black and Native American girls more than the other two.
And this is the first I've even heard about it.
Mind. Blown. And not in a good way.
I don't care what anyone else says -- California is the most fucked-up state in the union.

FBI Busts Two Teenagers Who Were Plotting a School Shooting
The Would-Be Mass Killers Were... Girls?
Were they actually girls or what the insane establishment now calls "girls"?
Two teenage girls conspired to carry out a school shooting in Riverside County, Corona police revealed late Tuesday. The FBI discovered social media threats from a 15-year-old Corona High School student on Oct. 6 and notified local police, who arrested her. The plot comes days after a teen committed a horrific school shooting at an Oregon elementary school. Police executed search warrants, combed electronic devices, and searched several residences in the area as part of the investigation. Officials discovered another 15-year-old girl from Norco High School was involved and arrested her on Oct. 20, police told The Post. Officials uncovered that the pair had allegedly been plotting how to attack Corona High School. They spent months researching past school shootings to inform their plan. Both had discussed how to obtain weapons to carry out the attack, but officials said they were unsuccessful in obtaining any. No weapons were found. Both girls have been charged with felony conspiracy to commit murder and are in custody. If the teens were charged as adults, it would carry a heavy sentence of 25 years to life. As juveniles, they likely face a lesser sentence if convicted of the charge. FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement that "a potential act of targeted violence against a Southern California high school was disrupted before anyone was harmed." He said the FBI identified online communications discussing a "planned school attack" and the Los Angeles FBI field office moved "immediately," identified those involved, and worked with local police to take the teens into custody, ... The identities of the two 15-year-old girls are unknown. Corona police said they would not release additional details at this time because the offenders are juveniles.Is that the only reason?
... Corona High School enrolls more than 2,000 students in grades 9 through 12. Corona is a Riverside County city about 47 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. The arrest announcement comes after Corona High School held its Homecoming last week.
In early October, online communications about a death threat to a school in Riverside County, CA, came to the attention of law enforcement and led to arrests today. Read more here from the Corona Police Department and the response by FBI Director, Kash Patel. https://t.co/LqTFdv9tvd

Now, this is wrong on a bunch of levels but let's start with the obvious one, mass shootings have no correlation with firearm legality. What they do 100% correlate with is globohomo.
If we go back in time there are legal and legitimately easy to get guns but no school shootings...why? No globohomo.
So forget gun control we need tranny control. And if you think that violates your rights, well, I your own logic says too bad.

Benzos and SSRIs can be seriously bad Juju. They have the reputation of blunting things like empathy, and liking things, SSRIs are hard to get off of without a problem and some Benzos will ride you until you die of old age.

The Latin term for clitoris was "landica", and was considered quite obscene, and appeared only a few times in literature. However, it did appear in some graffiti and stuff like that.
One funny was, just as we today have this tradition of putting funny slogans on bombs and warheads, so did the Romans with some of their projectiles of the day. They found with one of those with a phrase that translated as "I seek Flavia's landicum" or however the grammar/case stuff went (which is complicated and I don't know nuttin' 'bout).

The FBI usually give it to them after years of radicalizing them.
I question a police statement this self-serving conveniently close to election time. The riverside criminal justice system has a reputation for tampering with elections. I wouldn't be surprised if the charges get quietly reduced due to weak evidence after the election cycle.
Putting them in prison isn't going to address anything. What they need is support and therapy.
I went to Corona High and was repeatedly bullied and admin did nothing to stop it. i luckily made it out and my parents transferred me. I was incredibly suicidal there. it’s too many kids to manage, makes it become lord of the flies.
it’s the grim reality these kids face. People act like these kids aren’t surrounded by depressed adults all day fear mongering them.

Picking up a topic from the last thread, for the most part things worked out very well on both sides from German POWs in the US and Canada. The prisoners got the same extravagant rations American soldiers got, the camps were kept in excellent order by the officers, the enlisted men were kept productively busy and farmers were delighted with the quality of the labor. Many were happy to invite the POWs to share a meal with the family.
The early POWs were largely Wehrmacht soldiers. It's only later when there were more SS prisoners later in the war that any problems arose.

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

One of them held forth at some length about what changed in society so quickly to make women so sympathetic to her case, where they weren't sympathetic to Casey Anthony.
When he finished the other guy said "yeah, that's all true... but it's just that Casey was young and hot, and Clancy looks like one of their AWFL friends."
I think he nailed it.

Also, the flaw was not really obvious. OK, I saw it as fucking obvious, but in the weeks that followed I saw a lot of people miss it and not quite understand why the whole design was stupid. It just struck me as an unlikely way to plan a failure.

From Arutz Sheva:
While the Palestinian issue is highly important to Lander, he failed to get the name of the Palestinian town where he volunteered correct. Nehalim is a Jewish moshav in central Israel, rather than a community in Judea and Samaria. He was most likely referring to Nahalin, an Arab village near Bethlehem, where the incident reportedly occurred. And Israel's administation in Judea and Samaria is not against international law and in accordance with the Oslo Accords.
According to the military, the landowner and dozens of accompanying individuals arrived at the location without arranging the harvest in advance, as required before the start of the olive harvest season.
Due to the security risks associated with an uncoordinated harvest near an Israeli community, IDF soldiers, Border Police personnel, and Judea and Samaria District Police officers were dispatched to the scene and detained those present.

This was not about harvesting olives.
It was about harvesting headlines.
Brad Lander’s latest stunt is nothing more than a calculated political provocation.
Lander traveled to a foreign country, deliberately entered a restricted security area, and participated in an unauthorized activity without the required coordination.
What makes this stunt even more outrageous is that his own team contacted Israeli representatives in the United States ahead of his visit and was explicitly informed that proper coordination with the relevant authorities was required. He chose to ignore those instructions.
At a time of heightened security tensions, Israeli security forces have a responsibility to protect lives, prevent dangerous incidents, and maintain public order.
Had anyone been injured as a result of his reckless political theater, Lander would undoubtedly have been among the first to demand that Israeli authorities intervene and provide protection.
Brad Lander came looking for a confrontation. Now he is pretending to be its victim.

They're a CA in India. So far, people found eight private keys were extraordinarily weak. Like singly byte value weak. Instead of being 384 bit random numbers, they were integers below 256.
This wasn't exposed publicly for 17 months. So during all that time, anyone could forge a trusted cert through them for any domain or code-signing purpose.
Any TLS client with a static CA bundle will be at risk, as well as any frozen hardware device.
The people who certified these idiots as a CA gave the keys to the internet to a bunch of morons.

Wednesday Morning Rant
... Throughout my career I have always been critical of a museum profession that was awash in whiteness. The lack of diversity, especially in leadership positions, means that museums have not made the commitment to their communities or to their colleagues to be institutions that grapple with our differences. To see culture, history, and the arts as more than sources of beauty, exoticism, and nostalgia, but to use them as tools that help the audiences navigate the challenges of contemporary America. In an article I wrote twenty years ago, "Flies in the Buttermilk: Museums, Diversity, and the Will to Change," I challenged the museum profession to train, promote, and hire people of color as leaders of institutions.That could be from anything. It's boilerplate academic identity politics of the type that used to be comfortably cloistered in the ivory towers of the academy and its various institutional adjuncts. In this case, it was written by a man called Lonnie Bunch for his memoir entitled "A Fool's Errand.". Lonnie Bunch is the outgoing secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, which controls America's network of national museums. He was appointed by the Smithsonian Board of Regents in 2019. At the Smithsonian, he and his underlings continued the core mission of all progressives: destruction. Those under him in control of the individual museums enthusiastically delivered the progressive vision for America's repositories of cultural legacy. They degraded American history, turned the Institution into an activist network, injected its progressive poison into American public schools and reframed everything through identity politics. None of this started with Bunch and it will certainly not end with him, but he was a capable and competent progressive culture warrior who rained destruction down during his watch. For the first time in a long time, however, progressive destruction is receiving a modicum of scrutiny.
One way in which Trump 47 is different from Trump 45 is that the current administration is taking aim at a lot of institutions that usually fly under the RADAR as they decay into progressive morasses while everybody is focused on more important things. In March of this year, Trump issued Executive Order 14253 with the title "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," in which he ordered that Vice President Vance lead a group to study the Smithsonian's alleged "improper ideology." In July of this year, they delivered the report. From the executive summary:
This report by the Domestic Policy Council demonstrates that NMAH [National Museum of American History] fails in the basic task of illuminating our heritage. Our central finding is not that the Museum has simply added overlooked stories, corrected perceived errors, or broadened its historical scope. Rather, it is that Museum leadership has explicitly adopted an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated, but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens.
As this report shows, the Museum purposely presents America as a problematic country irredeemably conceived, founded by deeply flawed men, and still operating today as an instrument of systemic racism and oppression. In the Museum’s current telling, the country is, above all, defined by white supremacy, slavery, conquest, exclusion, hierarchy, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and systemic injustice.But of course. This is as it must be. To the progressive academic this is all true and thus the institution must reflect that truth. Progressive academics truly believe that the good is the enemy of the perfect and that anything short of progressive utopia is manifestly evil. Every institution they control will reveal this belief, whatever the institution happens to be. They control the universities, and as a result they control downstream institutions. Go to college to become a librarian or a curator, get radicalized and then destroy the libraries and museums. It proceeds like clockwork, and only grows. It only grows, that is, if nobody bothers to stop it. For a very long time now, nobody bothered to stop it. The report outlines the consequences of inaction, of what happens when progressive rot overtakes an institution. It lays out exhibit after exhibit of the museum's illegal alien activism, displeasure with the English language, progressive public education "assistance" programs, abortion activism, hatred of the country's founding fathers, "land acknowledgment" nonsense, removal of flag ceremonies, twisting of American history and more. The report concludes that
For purposes of policy formulation under EO 14253, this review of the National Museum of American History concludes that NMAH, by the intention and at the direction of current Museum and Smithsonian leadership, has become subject to institutional capture by a radical, activist ideology that is fundamentally opposed to telling the noble, honest story of the great country we know and love.That's putting it mildly. The progressives have eroded the foundations of the institution, just like what has happened at the National Archives and countless other public and private cultural institutions. The report is pretty blunt about what needs to happen first to try to restore the Smithsonian: fire the activist radicals in charge.
The report concludes that the Smithsonian Institution, and the National Museum of American History in particular, under its current leadership and current interpretive ideology, cannot be trusted to tell America’s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.Progressives capture institutions like the Smithsonian and ruin them by leaving no stone unturned and ensuring that all positions are filled with like-minded activists. It must be the same in reverse. To wrest control of the institutions back from the progressives, the progressives must be removed from them, root and branch. Secretary Bunch is retiring before he can be fired, but his departure is an opportunity for the Regents to install someone who can attempt to undo the damage wrought by the total capture of the institution by academic progressives. Whether this will happen remains unknown, but it would be a good start.

You know why? History study is usually a luxury. Successful societies go 'I wonder why we're successful? Let's see what happened.'
This is a focus on merit instead of having a predetermined narrative you want to enforce. The West has had flirtations with pre-determined narrative history (See: Augustus for playing around with history to show how he was the heir to all this great stuff, personally.) But by and large these have been kind of glazing rather than making bad ideas try to work.
This is the core of western thought. What works? Why does it work? What can we do to make this work in other areas? Deductive transferred to inductive reasoning.
This is NOT normal for the rest of humanity.

It's not really destructive in their eyes. It's retarded... trying to make people into what they want them to be.
It is the same as homeownership. Home owners are usually more successful. Answer: lets make it easier to give people homes. Wrong. The habits of people who have homes come first, not homes then habits.
It is the same with history. They believe by making all of these inventions the province of this or that minority that they will then MAKE those minorities pursue fields in science and the race will then become smarter. That is retarded. It does not work this way.
You hand the city of Rome in 200 BC to a bunch of Arabian nomad, they are not going to take those resources and dominate the Mediterranean. Indeed, you see that after the capture of Constantinople. They took the jewel of the old world and what did they do with it? Did they develop enduring societies? Scientific breakthroughs? Nope.

The Secretary is a high-level public servant appointed by the Smithsonian's Board of Regents rather than a traditional political appointee or direct federal employee

You know why? History study is usually a luxury. Successful societies go 'I wonder why we're successful? Let's see what happened.'
This is a focus on merit instead of having a predetermined narrative you want to enforce. The West has had flirtations with pre-determined narrative history (See: Augustus for playing around with history to show how he was the heir to all this great stuff, personally.) But by and large these have been kind of glazing rather than making bad ideas try to work.
This is the core of western thought. What works? Why does it work? What can we do to make this work in other areas? Deductive transferred to inductive reasoning.
This is NOT normal for the rest of humanity.

Ok, here's a thought experiment. You have unlimited funds. Space and time is no object.
I think I would make a real library/museum. Both old and new media. Lots of land so that it could be added on to over the years (long after I am gone.) A hall of statues where different artists were commissioned to make the most beautiful statue they can think of. Painting, sculpture, books. The soul of man. And the only mention of me would be a small plague and maybe bust that said I hope this helps you understand the world and it's history and treasure it as I have done.

IIRC, the architect was Albanian...
Yes he was, although he was likely also a Muslim.
The architect of the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque) in Istanbul, Turkey, was Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa.
(https://smarthistory.org/artist/sedefkar-mehmet-aga/)
Key Details
• Master: He was a gifted pupil of the legendary Ottoman imperial architect Mimar Sinan.
• Background: He originally trained in music and mother-of-pearl inlay (sedefkâr) before transitioning to architecture, eventually becoming the royal court architect in 1606.
• The Masterpiece: Commissioned by Sultan Ahmed I, the mosque was constructed between 1609 and 1617, blending classical Ottoman design principles with Byzantine influences from the adjacent Hagia Sophia.

A little inflation data point I just stumbled onto making arrangements for my mother's burial and all that. I knew it had been a long time, but my parents paid for their burial plots back in 1983, setting up the whole thing. The cost was a little over $400 per plot, and with everything else, it was just under $1000 total.
Multiply that by 10 for what the same basic plots and vaults would cost now. And, with all the "extras" that would were included then, but not now, you might as well say 12 times, if not more.

After one of the particularly egregious, lawless SCOTUS rulings (Obergefell?) he wrote: "the liberal justices don't judge, they vote". (might have one or two words wrong)
Side mini-rant: the use of the phrase "liberal justice" is ridiculously off the mark. Just as with all of the politicos and causes also called "liberal", it's an utterly meaningless or even inverted use of the term. Authoritarian, totalitarian - that's the base orientation of people and institutions called "liberal".
The other, comically meaningless, term used for lawless courts is "activist". WTF? Really never made any sense. They're lawless. They vote, they don't judge. They violate the substantive and procedural rules of their own institutions to usurp power. "Activist" is for 83-yr old clueless NPR listeners holding a "No Kings!" sign. Call these judges what they are - lawless autocrats ignoring their oaths and the constitution and usurping power and damaging the country's culture, economy, society, and national security.

Today it’s purely transactional.
My theory is back then they had no choice but to assimilate since they were a small minority. Today they’re the majority in the field. No need or pressure to assimilate.
Plus being American in 2000 was still considered something good unlike today when it’s the most evil thing imaginable according to 1/2 the country.

A striking example of the amazing Axis POW experience was an Italian POW who ended up staying and becoming a key figure in a prominent winery company in CA. He was sent to work as an ag worker at the winery during his POW time (the predominant labor use of POWs).
Speaking of national history being distorted, hidden, or erased - has the Smithsonian ever done an exhibit on the Axis POW experience in the US? An excellent, concentrated lesson in American exceptionalism that would surprise most today. Guess that would horrify and confuse the idiots Joe Mannix describes in his essay.

There was a serious issue with non-European countries adopting firearms, as outside of Europe armies were made of warriors, or the equivalent of knights, and adoption of firearms destroyed the old arrangements of production of weapons, allocation of economic production and power among the noble warrior types.
One outlier was the Turks who had effective cavalry and opponents who had walled fortresses the cavalry could not take. Adopting cannon was obligatory to take the fortresses and walled cities.

Reminds me of the interesting case of the U-505, the U-boat captured June 4, 1944 (note the date) off West Africa. It's the one on display in Chicago today (another amazing story).
It was of course important that the Germans not know we'd captured a U-boat intact. Not just in the immediate aftermath of the capture (the decision to scuttle or tow back to the US went all the way up to Adm. King, CNO - there was fear that German knowledge of the capture would push the Germans to change code settings on the eve of D-Day). But for some time after.
Therefore the US decided to, uh, sorta wink at the Geneva Convention rules we otherwise scrupulously followed, and didn't inform the ICRC that we had the crew. The crew was put in a special POW camp for the duration. Obviously no mail home, etc. Otherwise, the same semi-luxurious lifestyle (for the time) enjoyed by other German/Axis POWs.

I have a German POW story here. A German immigrant moved right in the local area after his retirement from Daniel (big construction outfit) back in the '80s. He was a POW, crewman on a U-boat, captured after his boat was sunk in the Atlantic.
He went to a POW camp somewhere in Georgia, and worked on some of the local farms. He was repatriated after the war, and immediately went to work on getting back here. I mean immediately. He didn't want to leave.

The Education School in any University has the lowest SATs and the highest GPAs.
An undergraduate Education degree is 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th grades, with "social promotion".
Graduate degrees in Education are Participation Trophys.
The NEA, despite its high sounding name is a Union, the same as.the AFT. The retail Clerks union works to benefit its members, not customers. Why would you expect teachers unions to be any different?

Harald Sohlberg
It's very nice with distinct colors that don't melt into each other. I'm not familiar with this artist but I'd certainly consider hanging today's art selection. (I also admit I didn't read the entire title at first glance and took the painting for a fall landscape vs. spring.)
---
Elephant Art, 27 Apr 2019
Harald Sohlberg, Spring Evening, Akershus Fortress, 1913
Countryside, calm waters and a never-ending sunset, could you ask for anything more on a spring evening? Harald Sohlberg’s incredible depiction of a sunset melting into the mountains is perfection. The famous Norwegian artist was obsessed with painting the landscape of his home country, paying particular mind to the spiritual significance of the mountains and the stunning colours that flooded the sky depending on the season.
Although Solhberg actively denied any affiliation to Nordic Naturalism or the Symbolists, these influences are evident in his fantastical portrayal of the world around him, where carefully articulated shadowy trees often foreground the world beyond.
Thanks.

Which is about the most convenient excuse for an affair I can imagine. "Hey honey I'll be gone all afternoon painting. Yes just me and Helga. And don't drop by unexpectedly because ah...I need my focus. Its...ART you know"

The Morning Report — 10/21 /26
A Minnesota rapper who traveled to France to join escalating riots has urged white people to “raise hell” and “f–k s–t up” as part of a revolution on American soil, The Post discovered. And communist-linked groups in the US may be working to bring that hell to the nation’s capital. Artist Tufawon, whose real name is Rafael Gonzalez Jr., joined Swedish activist Greta Thunberg outside Paul Éluard, the high school at the heart of the leftist protests marred by violence, looting and arson. He addressed balaclava-clad protesters before performing his song “No One Is Illegal,” and riling up the crowd with chants of “f–k ICE” and “ICE out.” “All power to the people,” the 40-year-old from Minneapolis boasted to his fans on Facebook. “After returning home from France I can clearly see how we need to become far more radicalized in the states. “We have to be more enraged. Our comfort is hindering our progress. It really and truly needs to be white people that go outside and raise hell if we want to see revolution. “There are far too many neoliberals that are just as bad as the fascists. The French have figured this out a while ago. Now it’s time to take it to the next level. Go f–k s–t up white people. It’s your time.” “They said they were going to globalize the intifada and now they have,” foreign policy expert at the Heritage Foundation Mike Gonzalez told The Post. “What you are seeing here is the red-green alliance, the marriage of convenience between leftists and Marxists. They have a common enemy which is the Judeo-Christian democratic West. They want to dismantle it.” Tufawon, who is part Native American and has appeared on the popular radio show The Breakfast Club, claimed that the perceived underfunding of schools and declining public services in France is similar in the US. “I’m incredibly inspired by what’s going on with the student activists and organizers,” the rapper said. “The most marginalized students, the brown and the black students are the ones that are feeling the implications the worst.” Tufawon urged fellow protesters in the US to “take influence from the French” so that they can defeat the “same common enemy”. “It is dangerous rhetoric,” Gonzalez told The Post. “If people listen to him and act upon what he is recommending it is very dangerous.” Tufawon told The Post his trip to Saint-Denis was unplanned and “very spontaneous”. He said he was in Paris on vacation and left before last weekend’s violent protests. He added that his Facebook posts “fall under figurative speech and in no way, shape or form did I use them with the intent to incite violence of any kind.”Wait, what?! This sick bastard is traveling to France to revel in and or participate in bloody volence while calling on the same thing or practicing to engage in it here at home yet insists his posts “fall under figurative speech and in no way, shape or form did I use them with the intent to incite violence of any kind.” What a cowardly piece of shit! He'll prepare the Molotov cocktails but better he should get some little dweeb half his age to actually light and toss them. Naturally this part of the story won't change his tiny mind...
Meanwhile, CCP-linked nonprofit Code Pink, backed by Neville Singham, has wasted no time using the unrest in France to plan similar protests in America, with a “taxpayer uprising” planned in Washington, DC, between November 10 and 12. The feminist anti-American group has called on protestors to flood the halls of Congress in what it calls “three days of peaceful resistance.” But its leader Jodie Evans, 72, a radical Hollywood filmmaker and wife of Shanghai-based tech millionaire Singham, called on “people to look at France” as she urged Americans to take to the streets.I'm eagerly anticipating the two-for-one of Leftists and Muslims killing each other off once God-Forbid when the embers of the final battle for America die out. This is who and what we are facing. And on top of it we have an entire Political party in the Democrats who have historically relied on both violence — including a civil war to attempt to obtain and maintain absolute power or short of that, rip America apart to create their own state to achieve the same. And now they have so thoroughly corrupted and infiltrated what we thought were inviolable firewalls protecting our rights an liberties, primarily the judicial system and our intelligence services that violence of the kind we are witnessing in France is almost, ALMOST, unnecessary. Of course, if they cannot steal another election or two, or God-forbid muster a legitimate majority of legal voters who back their perverted goals, then all bets will be well and truly off.
Former Democratic Congressional candidate Elijah Manley was arrested on Friday for allegedly posting death threats on Facebook against his colleagues who do not support far-left Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon. Manley, 27, was charged with two counts of making written or electronic threats to kill or injure, both felonies. According to CBS News Miami:One post said: “Every Democrat needs to get behind the Democratic nominee for Senate [Angie Nixon]. Anybody not doing that, I promise you I’m going to cut your [expletive] head off.”Didn't Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton once threaten to cut then-candidate Obama's nuts off? Meh... And this shit won't go away.
You don’t have to twist Slotkin’s words. Taken at face value, her proposal would give carte blanche to investigate and prosecute pretty much anybody who has done pretty much anything for the Trump administration since January 20, 2025, so long as it’s deemed to be “corrupt”—and corruption, like beauty, is very much in the eye of the beholder. Slotkin has good reason to hate Trump. Last year, she was investigated by the DOJ for sedition. She appeared in a video with five other Democrat lawmakers with military or intelligence experience—Slotkin worked for the CIA—and advised soldiers, sailors, and airmen that they “must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.” Trump had deployed the National Guard to cities including Washington, D.C., and U.S. Southern Command was blowing narco-boats to kingdom come in the Caribbean and posting highlight reels on X. . . And maybe too we should remind ourselves of what was done to Douglass Mackey, the man behind the popular “Ricky Vaughn” Twitter account that posted memes during the 2016 election. Mackey was prosecuted under a Reconstruction-era anti-Klan statute for voter suppression for posting a meme he didn’t even make. For the crime of mocking Hillary Clinton and helping Trump to win, Mackey’s enemies in the Democrat Party waited five years, and then within days of Biden’s inauguration, federal agents were kicking down the door. Retribution was a long time coming, but come it did. That’s exactly what Elissa Slotkin is promising again. The unfinished work of ensuring there will never be another Donald Trump will be a total effort, touching every level of American society, from government to corporations, from MAGA-hat vendors to dudes who post memes on X. Bank on that.It really is us or them. But why am I overreacting, right? It's all just blather. Until you find yourself in a gulag or a cattle car on the way to one. have a good day.

It seems she gave up her US citizenship and moved to Ireland but returned to the country to appear on the Jimmy Kimmel Trump Hour and to get in the U.S., she supposedly snuck over the border from Canada, or so the story goes. No idea if that is true or just X post imaginings.

American went to vote in Illinois, she says when selecting the conservative candidate the screen displays a message that says “people are not typically choosing this person, exclamation mark”
“I picked the Republican judges and once I selected one of the judges, I got a notification on the bar that said, people are not typically choosing this person, exclamation mark. — So why is my ballot telling me that who I'm picking isn't the more popular choice? I have a problem with that”

Meh, they'll come up with a "rescue mechanism" to hand wave it away. Just like they did when they saw all those fully formed galaxies that just shouldn't be there in the first images from July of 2022.

That might work for a preëxisting plant run by Anatoly Dyatlov, until any portion of the grid failed, or it was time to refuel.
One of the Wonders of the Modern World is "The Grid". It is profoundly complex. How do you source transformers? Go over, point by point the fueling of thermals. From identifying where to extract the hydrocarbons to the design, manufacture, delivery, operation and maintenance of every piece of equipment, with all of the associated permitting, labor, taxes, insurance, investment, regulatory compliance, orchestration, reliability and contingency plans between the undeveloped source and the finished power plant. Any failure that stops the plant and requires a reboot without capacity matching and redundancy may require a cold-boot of the grid.

Elections are a moment in time. They reset the chessboard. Sometimes in our favor, sometimes not.
But the fight against evil is eternal. Sometimes we get to fight from the top of the hill, sometimes we fight going up the hill. But we never get to stop fighting. Because evil never goes away. The moment we forget that is when we lose.

Assume there was a Leftist Rapture, where the Leftists all vanished away to Leftist Heaven, and the rest of us were left behind.
The consequences for us would be dire. The federal government would simply be gone, and the people remaining would be both unable and unwilling to stand most of it back up - and a lot of them would suffer for that.
Most corporate boardrooms would be empty, along with all lower ranks down to middle management. A large portion of the consumers they served would also be gone, and the rest would have more pressing needs than Uber and Netflix - IOW, a nearly complete economic collapse.
And so on, in most institutions. It would be nightmarish.
But now, picture a Right wing Rapture. Their urban citadels would be charnel houses inside of *months,* not years. They are incapable of survival without their hated underclass providing them with food, electrical power, clean water, and so forth. They are completely incapable of obtaining their quotidian necessities.

I've been giving this sophistry too much thought. In one sense self identifying as "CSA" is this generation's "Harvard" / "Crossfit" or "Vegan" salutation, as in "Hi, I'm a survivor of CSA". The brilliance of this is that it is a test of YOUR character to see if you grovel and give the "victim" deference in all things or say "whatever". So they demand Main Character Syndrome.
OTOH, we have been told by Psycho-The-Rapist that its OK to be a Cluster-B sociopath if you have been molested or otherwise didn't have the most optimal upbringing as a child. In fact, you should be one because of Reasons.
So here we have a pathological fabulist, with clear psychological disorders, a vacant soul, and no morals who wants to Lord over the people of Ohio. And its supposed to be OK because of a completely unverifiable claim of CSA.
It would be a confirmation that we want the most defective people in positions of high responsibility.

The Apostle Paul, recommended to Timothy that a [leader] be the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, sober-minded, of good behavior and respect of the community, not given to wine, not violent or a striker, gentle, not quarrelsome and not a lover of money.
he also had to be able to rule his own household, have children who are under control and respectful and demonstrate leadership at home.

- OK, do you think the culture of the UK is equal to Pakistan? -silence- dodges
- You can't answer that, so fine, name one muslim country that you would live in, that respects human rights? -silence- more dodges
They know they are not equal, and when they are asked to apply their general "all equal" BS to specific examples, such as "is Somalia equal to the US" the choice is pretend that it is, knowing they look foolish, or more likely, refuse to answer.

Greta will always be an activist, because it is the only working outlet for all her personal issues, with the benefit of it giving her parents a break.
She switched to being a Pali activist after oct 7th.

I've been fixated on Turnout and I expect it will break our way strongly in most places.
Even honest polls miss shifts in Turnout, as they rely on historic patterns. e.g., they failed in 2016 to see how Trump got the white working class to turnout. This is especially true for mid-terms which typically get less turnout.

On my block about 20 years ago, someone was wildly banging on an old lady's door, yanking on the knob trying to get in at 2 or 3 AM. She fired two shots through the door and the person ran off. Assume it was a drunk person at the wrong house. She wasn't taking any chances. Just how it is around here.

Fear drives base voters.
Having her own mother call her a liar who needs help, even if they're 50 years estranged, is good to motivate sideline Rs to keep her out of office. Even if they don't like Vivek.
And this controversy is reminding a lot of OH voters how she behaved during Covid--a petty, bitch tyrant who didn't care about who she hurt.
But now we're supposed to care about her feelings?

Independent Australian MP Helen Haines was intentionally struck by a car in Wangaratta on October 19, 2026. Both of her legs had to be amputated as a result of the incident.
Police arrested 43-year-doer Brendan Nugent at the scene. Authorities attribute the attack to rising political polarization, grievance-based behavior, and the suspect's unmedicated neurological condition rather than any specific controversy surrounding Haines.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese repeatedly called for the "temperature to be turned down" (or the "heat" to be turned down) regarding Australia's political discourse.
He stated that all public figures and citizens have a responsibility to disagree respectfully rather than resorting to vitriol. Albanese emphasized that he does not want Australia to change or move toward a more polarized, aggressive political landscape similar to the political environments seen in some other countries, warning that escalating hostility threatens the safe and open nature of Australian public life.

Maybe 30-40 years ago we had a guy come to grief that way. Large apartment complex, multiple identical buildings.
Guy came home shitfaced, went in the wrong building, banged on the wrong door, and thought his roommates weren't letting him in because they were being dicks.
I think (but can't remember with certainty) that he eventually got so pissed that he kicked in the door and recieved a shotgun blast to the face for his trouble.

Daily Tech News 21 December 2026
Top Story
- Indian certificate authority eMudhra - one of the companies authorised to issue the SSL certificates the entire internet depends on - has been thoroughly compromised. (The Register)
And when I say "compromised" I mean in the sense of caught with its pants down performing a dance to honour the Hindu goddess Kali in the middle of the busiest intersection in central Bangalore during Diwali.
And why I mean that is someone figured out one of the keys they use to sign certificates.
The key was 4.
Tech News
- Japan, a real country albeit one with strange sandwiches, just launched a catch-and-release expedition to the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. (Space)
The plan is to return a sample of at least ten grams of Phobosian soil to Earth. The whole moon if they can capture it in the craft's Pokeball, but at least ten grams.
- AMD's much improved FSR 4.1 upscaling has now been backported to everything. (Tom's Hardware)
Well, not this laptop, which is two generations too old for that, but dedicated Radeon 6000 family cards, the Xbox, handhelds using the Z2 chips, and Ryzen Max and Ryzen 9 mini-PCs.
Also not officially to the Ryzen 7 mini-PCs, though they will likely work with a bit of hacking; they just might not benefit much from it.
- How to convert $1000 worth of laptop RAM to $1000 worth of desktop RAM. (Tom's Hardware)
Like porcupines making love.
- A Canadian expert in ransomware negotiations who recently wrote a book recommending you should always talk to the people holding you to ransom was allegedly in cahoots with the ransomers. (Krebs on Security)
And is now in FBI custody.
- Sony has updated its classic Walkman music player. (The Register)
The top model costs $5900 and offers 256GB of storage. But that's a luxury item with a price to match; the entry level model with 64GB of storage - still quite a lot for MP3 files - is only $1900.
Wait.

And that's close to the word for death in Cantonese, which is why they avoid the number 4, which takes us back to Kali, the goddess of death and destruction (AND rebirth)...

Other researchers have found private keys including the numbers 66, 155, 156, 230 and 237.
Those are vastly inadequate keys, because they’re easy to guess, making all certs issued by eMudhra susceptible to brute force attacks.
As Helme put it: “A P-384 private key should be a random 384-bit number, which gives you 2³⁸⁴ possibilities (or roughly 10¹¹⁵
, so nobody is ever going to search that.”

These Indians wanted easy to remember numbers for SSL certificates.

On a really basic level:
Ever play around with newspaper cryptograms (like the letter 'a' becomes 'q', and the letter 'b' becomes 'k') and so on?
Same idea, except way harder to break than the newspaper ones (well, unless you use '4' as the key).
This keeps your neighbor on the same network from reading the data that flows between you and Amazon (or whatever).
Internet encryption is a special type called "public key" encryption. This uses some special mathematical magic that allows you make to the encryption key public without disclosing the decryption key. Newspaper cryptograms don't have that feature ... if you know that 'a' becomes 'q' when encrypted, you immediately know that 'q' will become 'a' when decrypted.
This has a big advantage. The remote site (say, Amazon) can encrypt special "I am Amazon" messages using the secret key, which anyone on the internet can then decrypt using the public key to verify that this is, in fact, the real Amazon.
Obviously this only works if the secret key remains secret.

These key pairs are generated by so-called "certificate authorities" ("CAs"), such as this eMudhra outfit. Your browser has a list of CAs that it trusts, and will assume that any certificate signed by that CA is valid (the CA is supposed to take care of ensuring it's the real Amazon before issuing the certificate).
If the CA is compromised Bad Guys can generate fake keys (and thus, fake sites) that pretend to be Amazon, or your bank, or even AoSHQ and any browser that trusts that CA will take it as gospel.
If Amazon is run by idiots who leak their keys, Amazon is compromised. If a CA is run by idiots who leak their keys, *every company that uses that CA* and *every browser that trusts that CA* is compromised.
This is obviously Very Bad.

Another crazy example: In a Man From U.N.C.L.E. script, a stage direction refers to Illya hiding in the crotch of a tree. The NBC censors objected, even though it was a stage direction, not a line of dialog to be aired, and the crotch was only that of a tree. . . .

“A fellow told me one about Wembley yesterday," I said, to help on the cheery flow of conversation. "Stop me if you've heard it before. Chap goes up to deaf chap outside the exhibition and says, "Is this Wembley?" "Hey?" says deaf chap. "Is this Wembley?" says chap. "Hey?" says deaf chap. "Is this Wembley?" says chap. "No, Thursday," says deaf chap. Ha, ha, I mean, what?"
The merry laughter froze on my lips. Sir Roderick sort of just waggled an eyebrow in my direction and I saw that it was back to the basket for Bertram. I never met a man who had such a knack of making a fellow feel like a waste-product.

Daniel Boone's famous rifle, known as "Tick-Licker" (not a musket), was a Pennsylvania Long Rifle (also known as a Kentucky Long Rifle), not a smoothbore musket. Contrary to some myths suggesting a tiny .29 caliber, historical accounts and his grandson Nathan Boone indicate the rifle was a heavy, large-bore weapon, likely .44 to .66 caliber, designed to fire a one-ounce ball.
The nickname "Tick-Licker" referred to Boone's exceptional marksmanship, claiming he could shoot a tick off an animal without harming the beast. The firearm was crafted by his brother Squire Boone, a skilled gunsmith, and featured a long rifled barrel (over 5 feet in length) and a curly maple stock. While often associated with the Kentucky frontier where Boone gained fame, the design originated with German gunmakers in Pennsylvania.
No wonder.
I've been hearing it wrong this entire time.
Maybe hearing what I wanted to hear, or Fess Parker made it sound like Tit instead of Tick.

Some people might count Daniel Boone as a "Western," because there are guns and Indians in it, and it's set on a frontier. It's not; it's a historical drama. "The West" as we think of it in novels and movies was much farther west, past the Miss. River or up along the northern Missouri. True, in DB's time his area was thought of as "the West" as in "west of the original thirteen colonies," but still.

This seems like a clever idea to me.
A married couple in San Diego wanted to get dressed up and go to a wedding. Problem was, they’d reached the age where nobody they knew was getting married anymore. So they built a website where you can buy tickets to strangers’ weddings. And the economics actually make sense. The couple getting married has already committed to a venue minimum. Someone cancels. Now there’s an empty chair and a dinner they’re paying for either way. Meanwhile, another couple would happily pay to eat, dance, have some cake and watch a best man make a series of increasingly questionable decisions with a microphone. *** Apparently one bride said the paying strangers brought so much energy to the dance floor that she wished she’d invited more. Of course they did. Those people specifically bought tickets to be there. Half your actual guests are attending under a treaty negotiated between their mothers. *** This guy just wanted to take his wife dancing and accidentally identified a liquidity problem in the wedding market.Check out the whole thing. What do you think - good idea or nah?

The Brewers made it to the World Series. Fans who bought a "Timeless Ticket" a decade ago want to cash in. Trouble abounds! Brewers promised a ticket to any future game for $1,000. Some fans unhappy with World Series seats
The Milwaukee Brewers ran a promotion over a decade ago offering fans a “Timeless Ticket” granting them admission to any game in the future if they paid $1,000. Now that the Brewers are in the World Series for the first time since 1982, fans who took that deal are eager to redeem those tickets they bought in 2015. That has led to some complications. Brewers president of business operations Rick Schlesinger said Tuesday that several hundred fans had indicated they wanted to redeem their Timeless Tickets for a World Series game. Schlesinger acknowledged that “we subsequently erred in our internal communications on the logistics of fulfilling the requests.” “While we were able to accommodate all with seats, we received feedback from some that they were unhappy with their seat locations,” Schlesinger said. “Clearly, even with extraordinary limitations on available seats, we did not live up to the spirit of the program, and we have been working through a resolution.” *** The Brewers are trying to make amends. Schlesinger said any Timeless Ticket holder who applied for World Series tickets before the deadline will now get to keep those World Series tickets while also being able to retain their Timeless Ticket to redeem for another game in any future season. “We regret our mistake and look forward to welcoming them to American Family Field for their World Series experience,” Schlesinger said.*** I imagine 2026 World Series tickets in Milwaukee cost a lot more than these did in 1982

What do you think - good idea or nah?
An idea of Biblical proportions!
The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
[...]
Then he said to his servants, "The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find."
The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.

Compare one of the requirements for receiving a doctorate at the medieval University of Paris (I think... one of the ancient universities) -- you had to give a course of lectures on your subject. That seems like a fairly reasonable requirement. However, you needed a quorum of attendees in order for it to count. Some doctoral candidates offered free booze and food, while others just sent their buddies out in the street to threaten to beat the shit out of anyone who didn't come listen to the lecture.

Go to stranger's weddings? Confession: In my misspent youth, I (with buddies) occasionally crashed wedding receptions where I knew neither bride nor groom. Why? Simple, free booze. We never caused any problems other than consuming liquor that may have run out 10 minutes earlier than otherwise. Stuck around no more than an hour, schmoozed a bit, and quietly slipped away, a couple of drinks ahead for the evening.

Before most of you were born I fell in love with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Sadly I never went to a concert to see them as they were either in MS and I was out West in college or vice versa. One of my favorite bands to this day.
Their plane crashed 100mi south of Jackson, MS. Were taken to trauma hospitals in the city. My mother was a volunteer in one hospital, and met some of the survivors and families and said they were lovely people. I am positive she'd never heard of the band before this happened.
I love nearly every song they sang.
And, dang it, I wish they'd bought a new plane. Aerosmith rejected it.
That Smell was written in anger at bandmate Rossington's car crash into an oak tree, drunk and high on 'ludes.
It was said Ronnie wrote lyrics very fast and add to a guitar riff. He composed and memorized lyrics and remembered them for certain songs as his band practiced. Very tight and talented band who practiced and worked hard to perfect their sound.
Headlining Rolling Stone in the UK, Ronnie ticked Mick off by bringing his guitarists onto The Tongue. Ha!
One of my favorites:

See, this is where I think there's a better market. Weddings, for the most part are a happy occasion where the bride and groom usually are well liked. That tends to pack them in.
FUNERALS, on the other hand, are usually held on a weekday so it's going to cost you a PTO day to say "adios" to a person who may very well have been a complete ass. And, to be frank, a funeral is a score card. Lots of attendees...well, you must have been an alright guy, and no one saw your browser history.
If you only draw a couple stragglers, chances are you didn't win any congeniality awards while alive. And, it's a direct reflection on you.
That's where the niche market lies. Inflating the numbers to slip that last deceitful scam on the masses. Oh, he must hove been a good guy. Look at all the people....I wonder why they are all over 85 and have an escort with Happy Acres Retirement printed on his shirt?

Also have a USB port, so you can bung in a thumb drive loaded with music of your own choice. I have had two of them die mysteriously, but at 29 dollars, it's not worth the effort to either buy or try to collect on the warranty. Throw it away, and plug in another. Similar, if not identical, devices can be found under several "brand" names on the 'Zon, too.

As we have a large group of very elderly parishioners it is not unusual to have 2 -3 funerals a month. One month recently we had seven. We always have a lunch after - I'm in charge of the kitchen. I'm here to tell you that there is a core of 25-35 old ladies that come to the lunch whether or not they knew or even cared for, the deceased.

The funeral of a great-uncle I would have liked to attended: He was a train conductor and apparently had a girl at every stop. Three girls with engagement rings met over his coffin. I'm sure there was a brief respite of grief at that time.
Handsome man as I've seen a photo and that of his father. They gave me my eyes (gr. Granddaddy was a bigamist my mother found later on Ancestry...when Daddy thought his grandmother was a widow vs kicking his sorry self out). Got a new family in LA.
Gr. Grandmother Maggie found a note from a woman in his suit pocket and threw all of his clothing and stuff onto the front lawn for everyone to see, and left him with her kids. She died a few years before I arrived and am proud of her.

I have a sizeable collection of cassettes and cd's that I can't play in my 21st century car stereo. I don't want a Pioneer head unit that "looks" retro. I want the Pioneer head unit that I had in my Chrysler Laser Turbo in 1985 with an actual cassette player.
What the hell good is a door that looks like a cassette slot? Oh look, there are USB ports behind there. Can I plug a separate CD player in one and a cassette deck in another? No? Then what the boffing hell are these USB ports going to do for me that the other half dozen unused USB ports in my car aren't?

Bing Crosby also died that summer, and I dug up some of his old records and played them -- including, of course, "White Christmas."

Sure enough, when I did my DNA a few years back, there are DNA relatives I've never heard of in Colorado.
I've never quite mustered the courage to contact them.
I fully expect to find a bunch of relatives in the Philippines as soon as the DNA service covers that area. That grandfather burned through six wives in CONUS. I can only imagine his behavior in the WWII PI.

Love it! NOLA is where we went on our honeymoon. My Long Island guy was blown away with Bourbon St. and it was normal for me.
It didn't help that it was St. Patrick's Day & a parade when we arrived to French Quarter. We accidently got married on one of the drunkest days of the year as it was the Saturday of his spring break at the university.
Ten years later we decided to have our anniversary dinners on another night after a guy spilled his Guiness down my pale green linen suit at a street party. The Irish Pub we walked to, after a French dinner (I know!) threw beads like Mardi Gras from the roof. I was reaching for a necklace at the same time as the beer guy. It did wash out but that was it for us celebrating on that day with crazy people

Yes. I have a Pioneer in my car. I installed it myself. It has a CD/DVD player, an SDHC card player, a USB port, and an AUX plug. I have at one time or other used each of them. It is a great device. Last I looked, they don’t make anything like it anymore.
I suspect what Pioneer is trying vainly to overcome is (a) the lack of people who care about physical media, and (b) the lack of standardized spaces on cars to install aftermarket stereos.

For many years, there was a DIN standard for car stereos. They were all the same width. 1 DIN was the standard height, but there were also 1.5 DIN and 2 DIN models. The DIN standard probably had a maximum depth, and also a standard pinout, but I am not certain about that. The little Dual head unit I mentioned upthread is a 1 DIN unit, but it is only about 2 inches deep, and weighs a scant few ounces.
DIN is "Deutsch Institut fur something or other".

There are 3 major, I use the term loosely, islands of note off the coast of MA and RI and some smaller ones. Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Block. Nantucket is the most exclusive, the Vineyard is the most visited and touristy. Block is the Goldilocks choice.

Knew about that one as my late BIL and his wife (UofRI) used to go yearly. He died at 33yrs of a rare heart disease when we were 31...he died running and training for the Boston Marathon.
His wife is from RI (he was born in RI like my dude). She didn't like my redneck self much from the start. I don't really know why, but whatever. He liked to party and have fun, so we got along great. She often had migraines and didn't like parties. They had two little boys like we did at the time.
I supported her as best as I could from FL for two years til she remarried. For reasons unknown 11yrs ago she ghosted me once we moved West. She thought I was getting to close to our MIL and was oddly jealous...which couldn't be further from the truth. After MIL died she emailed his siblings that she was cutting ties and adios!
We should drop in on them en route to Nantucket! She'd flip out!

It would take a rather..... large woman to have had two pregnancies without the world knowing. Secret bastard children work better for a dead dude.
That was the opening scene of the Usagi Drop manga/anime. Single 30-year-old dude shows up for grandpa's funeral. Grandpa's 6-year-old illegitimate daughter is there. Nobody else in the high-society family wanted to admit their patriarch was a horndog with a mistress or three, so they wanted to just put her up for adoption. Single 30-year-old dude says "forget that" and takes in his 6-year-old aunt.
The anime, and the first part of the manga, is a d'awwww cute story about a guy learning to dad.
The second part of the manga will not be mentioned, other than to bring up the "Japan, nuked too much or not enough?" question.

I was born in Jackson, MS. Which might have been why SIL was not fond of me as I dunno. I was friendly, kind, crazy and didn't get it.
She always said, oddly, that we looked like movie stars after a trip to see them in CA and Lake Tahoe. No idea why she said this, either, as I was a crazy chick with long blonde hair and whatevah. Never thought or cared how I looked. So it shouldn't have been that issue. I'll never know and that's ok.

The Victorians had a strange liking for posing with recently-deceased relatives in a familial setting, like sitting on a couch or a chair. Because the cameras of the day required seconds for an exposure, all of the parties in the image had to hold still until the photographer placed the lens cover back on the lens. That makes it difficult to identify the departed from the living.

The church choir Mrs B sings in is singing in some king shit church in a major city and had/has a string of practices she couldn't miss. I thought of possibly taking the trip myself, which would have sucked but was doable. Then a few weeks ago I got asked to play at a show at some benefit. I guess there wasn't enough old school metal bands, so people put out feelers to musicians, who contacted other musicians they might have crossed paths with, and in some cases actually played in other bands with, etc. Turned out to be mini reunions, and guest jams, and other bands, etc. Yeah I wasn't going to miss that. I also didn't want to be the dick who said no since I knew a lot of them. And so went my plans for the MoMe.

I've had so many CAT scans I must be an honorary CAT by now. I've also had a few MRIs to boot. The CAT scan I had a month before my wife passed, they were all concerned about my kidneys, and I had to tell them, "Yes, I know they are grossly oversized and filled and covered in complex cysts; Yes, I know my liver has a ton of cysts too. I'm not here for that, but for all the vomiting and fever...you got a barf bag? I need to get over this to be with my wife who is recovering from surgery to her liver..."

Unless you took exceptionally good care of your cassette tapes there’s a very good chance they’ll stretch and snap the first time you try to play them again.
Same goes for very old VHS tapes, although they’re a little thicker than cassettes so might actually make it through a play.

The first night of our honeymoon, after a wedding in Tacoma, was on Vashon Island; my wife's grandmother let us use her house, and it was kind of a BnB. Then we went up to the San Juans a couple days later. It was nice not jumping straight on a long plane ride or driving all night to Anacortes.
The only problem was . . . after taking the ferry and getting to the house sometime after dark---probably one of the last ferries of the day---we realized we forgot to ask her for the keys. So we're standing outside the house in the dark and hoping she'll answer her cell phone. Fortunately she had some keys buried in the garden, and we were able to get in.
Maybe Madame Bovary's wedding night had some upsides after all!

Giorgia Meloni introduced tougher penalties for violent protesters, including prison terms of up to five years, fines of up to €20,000 [and payment for the damage they caused], financial liability for parents whose children engage in vandalism or looting [also reducing the age that teenagers can be prosecuted as adults]. These measures aim to address recent violent protests and enhance public safety.

Our reception was behind the church on the lawn. Being outside made it so relaxing. The church ladies---whom honestly I hardly knew, since I had moved away six years ago---did everything for us. A Serbian friend roasted a whole pig. I met him at 5 a.m. to get the coals started. My wife had been working as a nanny for a big Catholic family with a bunch of little girls. At the dancing they stole the show.

She also does TV commercials for Jacuzzi Home Remodel that play about once per hour on this channel I watch in the mornings.
The girl is from California and in this ad she does the most uptalking I've ever heard in my life.
Every other sentence sounds like she's asking a question.
I could not live with somebody like that.
I'd be trying to answer stuff like "Hello? I am here to remodel your home today? We would like to start by getting some measurements? And then I'm going to come up with some ideas for your home?"
Whoever thought it sounded cool to talk like that needs to be pimp slapped?

Doesn't work (I've been pushing him to). Doesn't have much clothing, yet when I say I'll buy it for him, refuses. Has had issues since before my wife passed, but worse since.

For some reason that brought to mind the joke of the three men on their wedding night, one married to a nurse, one to a telephone operator, one to a teacher...
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at October 21, 2026 03:05 AM (l3cgK)
The first man married a nurse. Dave thinks to himself, "Nurses are known to be hot to trot."
The second man married a telephone operator. Dave thinks to himself, "Telephone operators have sexy voices."
The third man married a school teacher. Dave thinks to himself, "Poor guy, teachers are frigid."
The next morning, Dave reports to work and gets a room service call from the nurse's husband. He sourly says, "Don't ever marry a nurse. All I heard last night was 'You're not sanitary! You're not sanitary!'"
Then, the telephone operator's husband calls and sourly says, "Don't ever marry a telephone operator. All I heard last night was 'Your three minutes are up, Your three minutes are up.'"
Later that afternoon, the teacher's husband calls and happily says, "When you marry, be sure to marry a school teacher. All I heard last night was 'We are going to do this over and over until we get right.'"

They have no clue what they want to do with their lives, what they want to do for a living, or how to even figure that out.
If he's good with his hands at all, the best course is to take trade classes and get into a job that pays well fixing other people's problems they don't want to deal with.
College is not for every young man, and some times it can just make things work because they are bored to death and would rather be doing something else.

Yeah, some chemo agents do quite the job on some aspects of the immune system...
I used to do at-home peritoneal dialysis every day (for five years). Every time I connected or disconnected to the machine, I had to go through this 5 minute+ handwashing procedure before I started. All the clamps I used had to be sterilized in a bleach solution, and all fans (including the main house heater/AC) had to be off. Knew the procedure by heart, but always followed each written step...
Only had peritonitis ONCE, and it wasn't the fault of my connecting/disconnecting either...I believe it was a minor leak from my intestine into the peritoneal fluid from walking too hard/fast in hard dress shoes on concrete for a court appearance.

He's depressed, but won't talk to me about it. He sleeps way too much. Well, shit, I'm depressed too, for the last almost three years, so I understand. Stuff still has to be done.

I get it, been there done that.
I would tell him, that his depression and feelings of inadequacy aren't going to go away just doing nothing.
In fact, it's the exact opposite.
For men, accomplishing something, whether it's as simple as cleaning the kitchen and taking out the trash gives you a sense of purpose and satisfaction.
Men have to do something to feel complete.
Otherwise we are followed around by this constant feeling of "I'm doing it wrong" which will do your head no favors.
The exercise and focus of working on something also helps to keep the depression demons away.

I can't even begin with this cat. He weighs 20 pounds. He bites and claws like a tiger -- an epileptic, autistic tiger. Every now and then he brings in a lizard or rodent, then loses interest and you have to catch it and get it out of the house.
But worst of all, he flings litter around like... The only thing I can compare it to is those ice chippers that spew snow that they set up in California in the Christmas season so the kids can play in it. Just flumes of litter all over the area.

For the braniacs and jocks it works out for them, they are likely going to college and possibly on a scholarship, their life path is set into their 20s.
For the normies who have no clue what they like to do or what they're good at, and get no clues at schools, they get lost in the system.
I always liked those tests they used to give students which determined the kind of things they were good at, and what kind of career they'd be suited for, but then there was never really any follow-up to that once you got the results.
They should have ways to steer students, boys and girls, into career track classes that actually suit them and their talents.

Yeah, but does stupid things. He started smoking...then tried to quit (he knows all about one of my brother's issues with smoking, but took it up ANYWAY). Now vapes, which is better (except for the flavors). It'd be nice if he quit, since those aren't free, (and I refuse to buy him any), but gets them from his friends.
I don't allow it in the house. Zero tolerance for it. He *mostly* doesn't do it in the house; I can smell when he does, even if he denies it.
His mother died two days after his 17th birthday; he'll be 20 in a few months. I remember holding her hand, telling her she couldn't die that day as it was his birthday...we had a little party in our bedroom (no candles--there was an oxygen concentrator in the room. The tech on those is really interesting). She was unconscious the entire time, but I felt she knew we were there (she would make certain noises and they would stop when I would read to her).

Feral cat wants to join a home's domesticated cats.
Hey... nice beaver. This is why no one does yoga with cats. Aw: A blind horse is led around the pasture by her donkey friend. If I already linked this, my apologies: Bull terrier and squirrel are best friends. Thank you. Nice woman helps a baby lamb reunited with its mom. Firefighter rescues puppy from a fire, then adopts it. "Chico" the German shepherd went missing. His family couldn't find him. So he just walked into a police station to report himself missing.
The incredible incident unfolded on September 30, 2026, when the clever pooch casually strolled up to the front doors of the Tampa Police Department. Amused officers welcomed the unexpected guest and playfully dubbed him a "K-9 applicant" humorously adding that his application was only rejected because their roster was already completely full. Instead of putting him to work, an officer escorted Chico to a local veterinarian to scan for a microchip. The quick scan successfully retrieved his family's contact information, and police immediately reached out to his worried owner.
Later that day, the department's bodycam footage captured the emotional moment Chico was reunited with his tearful owner. The owner, overwhelmed with relief, hugged her adventurous pet and explained to officers that Chico simply loves the outdoors and must have wandered a bit too far during his playtime.

As for yoga with cats, it won't work if you roll out a separate mat for them. They'll abandon it the second you roll out one for yourself and try to use it.
I tried this with an old laptop once. It's finished! it's fried! It's standing open and it's turned on. Here, cat, it's yours!
Nope. I'll sit on yours while you're attempting to work, thank you.

Once when I was canoeing in Wisconsin, paddling down a narrow channel winding through tall reeds, a mother duck suddenly burst into the open water in front of us, flapping with a broken wing. She struggled forward, just ten feet away, until we had gone maybe a quarter mile. Then she flew up high and turned back.

I owe you this update, though it stings very much to write. Last Thursday’s hearing in Berenson v Gottlieb was difficult for me to watch. I was sure we had lost when I left the courtroom, on the 17th floor of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse in Manhattan.
Our last best chance, as I wrote last week, gone in 10 minutes. The only positive in all this, and it’s a very small one, is that the judges didn’t make us wait long to swing the axe. The decision came out this morning. I haven’t even been able to make myself read it yet.
This hurts. It really hurts. Not just because I put a huge amount of time into researching and working on these briefs. Not just because I know - and presented the evidence - that Dr. Scott Gottlieb conspired to get me forced off Twitter. Not just because the judges even refused to consider the idea that the Covid unvaccinated might be deserving of protection as a class. But because I will never get to find out what really happened in 2021 - or to tell you. (Theoretically, we can ask the Supreme Court to hear the case, but the odds are extremely long they’d even consider it.) The bad guys won.

Seems there really is a contamination problem: Chemotherapy drugs can be excreted through various bodily fluids such as urine, feces, vomit, saliva, and even sweat. This means that anyone coming into contact with these fluids could potentially be exposed to the drugs. The duration for which these drugs remain in the body varies depending on the type of chemotherapy and the individual’s metabolism.

It was very strange. At first I thought I was coming down with something, nausea, and strange hot/cold combinations, intense fatigue, hard to describe. It lasted about half a day and then gradually lifted. My wife was talking about what she was going through it and was so similar I realized that I was poisoned, and so we realized we had to be extra careful and maybe we're overdoing it, but cold season is starting, and better to be safe.
We've told the grandkids that they can say "hi" from her doorway, but she's pretty weak and we don't want any complications.

Yeah, went through the process (2x toilet flushes each time she used the bathroom, etc) One particular time, my wife came back from chemo. Overnight a bug bit her. We found the bug, dead, the next morning.

What we may well see is a reprise of the 1930s and the Popular Fronts, this time for Islam.
I'm sure everyone here already has a copy of Long Live Death, but this is a very old plan of creating chaos in order to set the stage for a revolution. The forces of order are poised to regain power, and just as in Spain 1936, the left is trying to forestall that.
Unfortunately for them, France has a very shaky constitutional system, so a Sixth Republic is definitely possible.

Quick Hits
Selfish leftwing race-obsessed, Trump-obsessed woman does the greatest possible favor for kind conservative man: She breaks up with him.
And then cries about it. He was such a good and kind man, she says, but darnit, he voted for Trump three times (and lied that he didn't vote for Trump last time) and he should do whatever she wants because she's a victim of "CSA," which I assume means child s** assault but don't hold me to that. I'm not one of the Alphabet People or People Who Have Turned Their Trauma Into Their Entire Personality so I don't know all the shorthand for all the traumas and mental illnesses these people collect like vintage baseball cards.
They Fled Trump's America. Now They Regret ItAlso, never go during Arson Season, which now extends every year from July 20th to June 30th. Also, don't go during Christmas Vehicular Mass Casualty Event season. The cars just come alive and drive themselves!
The internet told them Europe was a social paradise. Turns out the trains are awful, the health care isn't free, and people can be really mean.
While researching their new destination on Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram, Annie found Americans eager to explain how enchanting life in the British suburbs could be--all the benefits of a small town, just a short train ride away from one of the biggest cities in the world. The more she read, the sunnier her expectations about the UK's health care system, social culture, and European transportation systems became. They moved before the end of the year. But the reality of life in the UK was dramatically different to what she'd imagined. "There are huge misconceptions about access to quality health care, standard of living ... the quality of life is significantly lower than in the US," she says, citing the challenges she experienced with the National Health Service's maternity care--having moved while pregnant with her first child--as well as the lack of disposable income in Britain, thanks to lower salaries. "Things in the UK that are considered luxury items are very common" in America, like a dishwasher and dryer, she adds.Also, it turns out that the prelapsarian paradise of Europe is filled with chauvanists and bigots. Who knew.
Annie says she experienced a high amount of anti-American sentiment straight away. "I found it particularly surprising how people feel so comfortable mocking my accent and culture, even in a workplace environment," she says. "The UK is very much a place of 'it is what it is,' but as Americans we are taught to always improve and strive for better things." Annie and her husband now have an exit plan for summer next year, the earliest their employers would allow them to relocate back home.Annie is a psuedonym. She wants to remain anonymous because she fears DRUMPF'S FASCIST DEATH SQUADS. Just kidding -- she wants to remain anonymous because she knows her fellow left-wingers will attack her and cancel her for telling them that Europe isn't better than America.
Like several other Americans WIRED spoke to about their decision to leave and subsequent regret, Annie wanted to remain anonymous because she is concerned about the professional risks of publicly criticizing life abroad. Others cited recent online backlash when other Americans said they missed home, or, in one case, a realization that the political climate of Trump's America was not something they could escape by heading to Europe."Josh" also wants to remain anonymous to avoid cancellation by his fellow "anti-fascist" activists. He fears they would attack him if they read him writing that Germany is, get this, xenophobic and bigoted against foreigners. Again, who knew?
This was a similar reality for Josh, another American immigrant who asked to remain completely anonymous, citing concerns about backlash. He moved to Berlin in 2023, in part anticipating what might happen at the 2024 election, and also because he felt his life had hit standstill post-Covid. He had even lived in Germany before, spoke German, and had friends in Berlin. But his expectations, particularly when it came to his career, didn't align with reality.Huh! Wow, it turns out that insularity and distrust of outsiders isn't uniquely American after all. By the way, progressives, why are you moving to Euorpe? If you're against White Supremacy, shouldn't you move to more "indigenous" lands? Annie was surprised that British people and British trains aren't like what she sees in Agatha Christie movies. Also, health care is expensive.
Advertisement "Finding work was so hard, and the endless bureaucracy had grown worse since I'd left," he tells WIRED. "I missed the friendlier people, freedom of speech, and ease of daily life" in the US. He adds, "If you aren't born and raised there, and don't look German, you'll never be fully accepted."
"I thought that 'British politeness' existed as it does in movies," Annie says, "but unfortunately, the reality is that present-day British culture is very individualistic, as well as without the sense of charity and helpfulness that many parts of American culture value." She says she had negative experiences with the NHS maternal care, compared to the smooth experience of her private health insurance in the US, and didn't expect it to cost her anything: "I pay huge amounts of taxes and an immigration surcharge to access the NHS services--so no, the health care is not free here." She also expected train travel to be low cost, based on what she'd read about Europe (despite the extortionate train prices and terrible service quality being one of the biggest political conversations in the UK).Who knew! Also, turns out that she's the cliched American -- she apparently did no research whatsoever into the foreign country she was emigrating too and relied entirely on hearsay from television for her knowledge of the UK. Emigrants and de-emigrants -- those who moved back -- are attacked by the Nice Kind Open-Minded Reality-Based Community. They have their Simpleton's View of the World firmly in their pointy-but-empty-heads and they get ragefull if someone who knows things based on actual experience contradicts their fantasies.
A noticeable number of American influencers and anonymous social media users are calling it quits, often sheepishly confessing that life wasn't what they expected--and that they missed their old lives back in the US. On subreddits dedicated to these kinds of discussions, like r/expats, r/GoingToSpain, r/AmericanExpatsUK, r/AmerExit, you can now find a number of stories about difficulties building a new community, trouble finding work, icier cultural norms compared to the open friendliness of America, and sometimes a higher-than-expected European cost of living. Many posts now feature people asking for a new kind of advice: Is it okay for me to miss, or even to want to move, back home? These posts are usually met with a huge amount of backlash. Commenters are quick to imply that the poster must be right-wing and privileged, in for a nasty shock if they did return home. Ironically, many times, they parrot the right-wing notion that they probably aren't trying hard enough to assimilate into their new country. When one person recently said they badly missed their community of friends in a "blue city in a blue state" and were considering moving back, the majority of top comments agreed the user was "insane."
When Annie posted earlier this summer on Reddit her excitement about going back to the US in 2027, the comments were largely critical, and ones offering functional relocation advice were heavily downvoted. A moderator intervened, saying many people in the forum "believe the USA is evil" and conversely "the UK is paradise," continuing that there was often little room for nuance or empathy for differing experiences. In another from earlier this year, where a user said they were struggling to adjust to life in Spain with a toddler, commenters warned that she may cause psychological damage to her child if she relocated back to the US.Everyone is afraid to challenge the progressive know-nothing orthodoxy-enforcers:
"What is happening in the US is also happening everywhere now, to the point I'm even a little hesitant in what I say to you, or anywhere online," says Nick, an art director from New York who relocated to Poland in part because of right-wing populism in the US.Yup. It's so obvious that the real threat of authoritarian thought-control is coming from the right. On the other hand: There are so many more opportunities for Cultural Enrichment in Europe, especially for attractive young women traveling alone. A late friend of mine used to sort-of quote Nietzche. Or "quote" him -- I have never been able to track down this quote, so it's a loose paraphrase at best. But the "quote" he would repeat is, approximately: "Perhaps, if everywhere you go you find people who disappoint and despise you, maybe the real problem has always been just you." I don't know the real quote but if you do, I'd like to know it.

A video circulating out of Portland, Oregon shows a high school football player sprinting across the field and knocking down the kid carrying the American flag.
Friday night, Oct. 16. Grant High School at Jefferson High School, both Portland Public Schools. Grant ran out behind the flag. A Jefferson player in gold came in from the side, hit the flag carrier, and the flag went down. On camera, no adult steps in. An Instagram account using Jefferson branding posted the clip with this caption: "This is what happens when you disrespect us... wasn't feeling that American flag 😂" A laughing emoji. Over knocking down a kid holding the flag. These are kids, so leave their names out of it. But the adults running this program owe everyone an answer. Was anybody disciplined? Has the district said one word about it? If you want answers, contact Portland Public Schools and the OSAA and ask what they're doing about it. H/t @tarenfeist.

BREAKING:
French police have attempted to arrest the far-left French Member of Parliament and Antifa leader Raphael Arnault. The police raiding the wrong train car by mistake and Arnault managed to escape. He is now hiding inside the parliament where police can’t enter. It’s unclear whether they tried to arrest him for organizing student riots or for his suspected involvement in the murder of the right-wing French student Quentin Deranque in February this year. Quentin was beaten to death by members of Arnault’s Antifa group. One of the arrested suspected murderers is Arnault’s parliamentary assistant.— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) October 20, 2026

And the man she accuses is dead.
She is a victim.
And you can't attack victims.
Even if they lie about everything else.
And that is why the voters should give her the most powerful elected position in OH.

Social justice stands in opposition to "individual justice," previously known as plain old justice.
Social "justice" is GROUP justice. White people must be punished not because any particular white person did something but because as a race they owe a "debt" and other races are entitled to extract repayment.
weird how judging races as a whole and deciding some races were inferior to others was the worst thing in the world and obviously racist until it became the best thing in the world and gloriously ANTI-racist 15 years ago.

Disillusioned expatriates should be laughed at, not pitied. Their travails were entirely predictable. Europeans will always consider Americans as trailer-trash and no amount of cringing obeisance or scorn for their native land will be sufficient to overcome this.
Plus, Europe was never the paradise they thought it would be, unless you're a childless layabout retiree. They are lotos-eaters who live in a state of stagnation and are intolerant of anyone - except harmless neurodivergent wackos - who might upset this stasis.

I loved the collected freak out of a local trans mom subreddit after Trump was elected in 2024. They were taking their kids out of school and fleeing the country. Then wanting awards (or something) for how many trans kids they had.
This chick knew she was dating a conservative man from the start. Her trauma is just never going to end. Run, conservative man, run fast and far.

I had an aisle seat and there were people scrambling in the row ahead of me and behind. I ended up with a guy our son's age who informed me he was flatulent and I said, "I have brothers and sons, I assure you that nothing you say or do will faze me."
We laughed and drank on the flight across the country. He put his headphones in his backpack to continue talking to me as I described the Southern funeral. We mocked others on the plane quietly. It was fun and I deplaned reeking of gin, so my husband said when he picked me up.
He lived in Virginia with his liberal wife and 3 daughters and was flying West to ski with buddies.
I informed him I was a Trump voter, figuring he might freak but wth. He said he wanted to vote for Trump but his liberal wife would freak out. I felt bad for him and said nothing...but I wanted to ask,"Why did she see your vote?"
While my dude and I have always voted the same way, and I research judges and he researches other stuff... how sad he had to vote for Hil Hag or, I guess, not get anymore sex.
He also griped about his in-laws to me and thought I was the bomb to want to babysit our grandson.

A man residing in south Minneapolis has been charged in Hennepin County District Court with a felony count of threats of violence after making threats to bomb the Mall of America and Minneapolis schools, charges say.
The criminal complaint states:
On Oct. 11, Niman Ali Ahmed, 24, called 911 and stated that he made multiple bombs at home and he was planning on bombing the Mall of America and different schools in Minneapolis the following day.
Ahmed said he was planning the acts “to get payback for the killing of George Floyd.” Ahmed claimed he was part of a group that was going to carry out the acts and that he was also part of a group chat with people who were planning terrorist attacks at the Mall of America. Ahmed said he had demons and they were telling him to do things.

Let's just say it wasn't hard to find out both Germany and Britain enjoy a much higher cost of living with a consequently lower standard of living.
For instance, what's considered standard in our country, say 3 bedroom, two bath house with a full private bath off the master bedroom, off street parking, two car garage, etc 1.5 to 3 times the cost in Britain or Germany, utilities are out of sight, groceries are bad, etc. Oh, and it's very difficult to find an apples to apples comparison because the type of housing we consider standard here is hard to find in Britain and Germany.

Reddit is largely three things: Bots, paid shills, and broke-dick Eurotrash living on the dole.
It's largely and decidedly NOT an American commentariat, and is as we all know, one of the purest hive-minds of lefty faggotry in the known universe.
Just assume that whatever poster you saw say anything about politics or the US is a smelly neckbeard that hasn't seen a vagina since he fell out of one.

Another thing about those American expats in Europe.
Many say they're shocked at how hard it is to emigrate. The paperwork, the language, the work permits, the social freeze.
I think it's because they're looking at how easy it is to immigrate in America. Just stroll across the border, go demand your welfare, get paid under the table for domestic work, school will teach your kids in Spanish ningun problema, all official forms available in Spanish... it's as easy as postel de manzana.
Who knew it's a whole different thing when you do it legally?

I did 21 years in the military and I have been all over this planet and we here in America have it made. There is no real poverty here in the US contrary to what the media claims, there is no "food insecurity" either. We are hands down the richest country in the world bar none.
I have seen poverty and starvation in other countries where people are dying from lack of medical care, no clean water and little to no food. Hell in just africa alone 25% of children born never make it to their fifth birthday due to disease, starvation or war.
Go to the philippines, malaysia and thailand where people use public streets as toilets and garbage dumps. They dry their rice on the side of highways while cars and buses pass by spewing black exhaust fumes directly on the rice. They live in tin shacks with dirt floors and cook over open fires.
Leave if you hate America.

This was the first of 3 breakups for no reason our first year. The second time I was angry. Third time annoyed and told him to leave me alone, which did no good as here I am. I'd rather have died than let him see me cry.
My mother kept all of my college letters and they are pretty funny. In one I said a schizo cousin at home had "sexual tension" (reason he gave for his psychotic break). When I read it last year I cracked up at the thought of someone reading it aloud at the dinner table with my 6yr old brother!
For starters, I didn't know what sexual tension was, much less why on earth I put it in a letter home.
I think it was my pretend to be liberal phase along with the fake hippie clothing.
Most of the letters (once a month and thick with many pages of continued writing) were explaining why I needed more $ and I was sorry about asking. Telling Daddy to sell one of my cows (like I had my own herd). I was a charming PITA.

1.) Find a good 'ette.

3.) If you did a good job on steps one and two, then ask her to marry you.
4.) Hope she says, "Yes!".
If you successfully reach Step 4., then raise your own good little Morons and 'ettes.

Our society has gone far too much on the side of reducing public violence. Everyone should get their ass kicked at least once in their lives, I had it happen and recommend it. It helps you understand your relative abilities and grounds you.
I get not wanting people to get beat up, especially your precious snowflake Chosen One child, but it is actually beneficial to society for that threat to be real. Whatever drawbacks it brings are more than offset by the benefits to culture at large. Too many people have never been punched in the face.

Trump Creates $25 Million Fund to Pay Bounties to Whistleblowers Who Alert the Government of Fraud
If you want to stop foreign pirates, issue letters of marque and reprisal.
This isn't quite that but it's good to incentivize people to report fraud.President Donald Trump is putting cash behind his crackdown on taxpayer fraud, offering Americans rewards for tips that help bring fraudsters to justice. Speaking alongside Vice President JD Vance and independent journalist Nick Shirley in the Oval Office, Trump unveiled the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program and said qualifying tipsters would receive a 1% commission, subject to applicable laws and rules.A 1% commission. That could be huge.
I'd like to report Ilhan "Omar" and her entire foreign pirate "family," please. Hooboy, I'm lookin' for a new home on Easy Street!
"If you turn somebody in and you, let's say report, and you find $1 billion, we are giving a commission to that person of 1%," Trump said. Fox News Digital exclusively reported plans for the program ahead of Tuesday's announcement. A White House official initially described a $25 million initiative administered by the Justice Department, with rewards of up to $30,000 for tips leading to a successful fraud conviction or significant federal enforcement action. Trump's remarks outlined a different payout structure. He said journalists could also participate, subject to applicable rules and approval from their employers. Americans can report suspected theft of taxpayer dollars through fraud.gov, Trump said.
... Vance said the initiative grew out of a conversation with Trump about recruiting Americans to help investigators uncover fraud. "If you want to help us stop it, you get to share in the rewards," Vance said. Shirley drew national attention in December 2025 after publishing a video questioning whether several Somali-run Minnesota daycare centers were operating as legitimate businesses. His video showed apparently empty facilities and included people who said they had not seen children at the locations. The White House credited Shirley's reporting with helping spur a surge of FBI and Department of Homeland Security resources into Minnesota, followed by investigations, arrests and new charges.This is genuinely huge. Trump is offering potentially millions of dollars for a little bit of research and detective work. Nick Shirley is going to be a rich man. He can't collect a bounty retrospectively, but he knows how to find the fraudsters and will be collecting in the future. Markwayne Mullin praised Nick Shirely and pointed out that "everyone knew" about the Learing Center but not a single media company reported on it. He also says the DOJ's fraud task force is moving to seize an entire half-block of Minneapolis which he said was purchased with SNAP fraud.

BREAKING: The feds just moved to seize half a city block in Minneapolis, reportedly bought with stolen SNAP money. Per the White House fraud task force, DOJ's new National Fraud Division filed yesterday to take back property that was fraudulently bought with food stamp dollars meant for hungry Minnesotans. Then the speaker turned to the press in the room: "None of your outlets reported it. It took one brave kid and a camera." That learning center was cited hundreds of times, and the legacy media sat on it for years.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Manjit Singh Bedi of India, a Tacoma grocery store owner who fled home after being indicted for FOOD STAMP fraud, has been DRAGGED back to the US to face charges
He fled to INDIA but the FBI MADE SURE WE GOT HIM 🔥 Bedi pocketed at least $600,000 in SNAP benefits by giving recipients cash for their EBT cards He'd ring up $200 on a card, hand over $100 in cash, and keep the other $100, all for groceries that were never sold Kash Patel's FBI put him on the new "Most Wanted Fraudsters" list in September, and Indian police quickly took him into custody THIS IS LAW AND ORDER.— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 16, 2026
We need a full audit of our Food Stamps EBT program
This American says he gets $300 per month on Food Stamps, to qualify he simply lies “How are you getting money from the government?” “I lie” “What are you getting from the government?” “Food stamps” “What the f*ck, how much are you getting in food stamps?” “$300 bucks a month” Just so you know, there are supposed to be real penalties for committing fraud like this by lying to get food stamps - 1st time lying, 12-month SNAP ban
- 2nd time lying 24-month ban
- 3rd time lying permanent ban But you can also get criminal penalties too - Under $100 is a misdemeanor up to 1 year in prison
- $100 – $4,999 is a felony up to 5 years in prison
- $5,000 or more is a felony up to 20 years in prison If you’re thinking about committing EBT fraud. Don’t— Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) September 9, 2026
🚨TUESDAY TAKEDOWN: STEAL SNAP. GET BUSTED. 🚨
@OIGUSDA— Secretary Brooke Rollins (@SecRollins) October 20, 2026
A Brooklyn retailer operator has been sentenced to 9 MONTHS in prison and ordered to repay $641,952.06 to Ohio’s SNAP program following a scheme involving stolen food benefits.
Investigators traced 2,823 fraudulent EBT transactions to Raed Subhi Abu Mohammad’s store, where stolen card information was used to drain benefits from Ohio families.
Mohammad pleaded guilty to attempted illegal use of food stamps and theft.
Food assistance is for Americans in need. Steal it, and face the consequences.

Not just defrauding the federal government, the welfare fraud and the Medicare fraud and all that.
But also how much the defraud their own state.
Especially if you add in the indirect beneficiaries of the fraud.
All the employees needed to administer.

He would also hire fallen contractors to do small jobs -- masonry work, carpentry,... whatever, knowing they were not reliable but would be good for one day, or maybe a week. Just to help them out. He understood he had to work with them to make sure they didn't fuck up, but he was doing it to help out a lost soul.

Perhaps originally it was meant to be a temporary stop gap for people who would eventually get jobs. They found a way to live without jobs or pride, and voted Dim all these years.
This has been abused for generations, evolving into junk food purchases. President Trump has been the first to try to both control purchases and track it.
An example of the generational dole: NOLA after Hurricane Katrina. Welfare was all they knew in their government teat lives. Waiting for rescue transportation...when there has always been ways to leave (well, Gov. Nagin did not help with his flooded school busses).
The famous photo of a smiling man looting a plastic bin of Heineken after the levee broke comes to mind; as even the NOLA police joined in the looter fun for free plasma TV's.

I don't know the year when they started using actual food stamps but when I was a kid you had to go to a warehouse to get government food. You got what they had and did not get a choice. I do not recall my mother ever having actual food stamps, possibly she had a card to get in the place but that was back in the early 60s and my memory from then isn't 100% reliable.
We would get cheese, peanut butter and some times meat. That was usually pork that had so much grease floating on the top of the can you had to scoop it out with a big spoon before you got to the meat. The peanut butter came in big green cans and had to be stirred up before you could eat it as the oil separated to the top of the can.

I remember this from the 70s, (as I said above, my father had a business in the city so we learned some things.) This was part of the supplemental nutrition program, and I think it varied a lot by state. This was only supplemental and not a main source of food, as SNAP and all the other programs are today.
Reagan famously dumped excess stores of cheese into the program in the 80s, and I think at that time they also gave out other foods, but most of it was not as appealing as the cheese, because the cheese, you see, was a form of currency in the ghettos. Restaurants would buy it all up to serve.
That was fraud too. As long ago as I can recall, food stamps were exchanged. Small grocers gave cash which was spent on drugs or booze.

I needed to find out why? why such demand for phone cards.
What I learned is that immigrants got SNAP or other forms of support, and they traded that in for long distance phone cards to call home. They also transferred money home at the shops.
The stores would then sell the SNAP to grocers, who would sell food to restaurants. All of it under the table and immune from taxes. What a racket. There were so many because it was very low overhead and high margins, and it relied on local walk-in business so they had a fixed set of people who would show up every month to cash in their government checks.

I made some homemade peanut butter once (had some peanuts and didn't know what to do with them). It turned out OK. I don't think it lasted long enough for there to be any separation, but I do recall that it was a lot dryer and grittier than the store-bought peanut butter. Not enough oil, even though I went by the recipe...

Despite other cultures (predominately in the East) eating more peanuts than in the West, they have a fraction of the number of people allergic to peanuts. AND, it's because they mostly boil and fry peanuts in preparation as opposed to the standard roasting in the West...which heightens and changes the structure of the proteins and is more likely to trigger an immunity response.

If you have a blender, you can take salted peanuts and turn them into peanut butter. Depending on how dry they are, you may have to add a little (peanut) oil to get it to turn into a butter. It’s very, very easy. And very easily adapted.
INDIAN PEANUT BUTTER
1 cup roasted peanuts; 1 tsp cumin powder; 2 cloves garlic; peanut oil as needed; 4 tsp chili powder; salt to taste
Grind peanuts, garlic, and spices in food grinder or blender. Stir in peanut oil to attain desired consistency. Add salt to taste.

Years back a channel looked into one of the Ukraine payouts. About half never left the US - payments to US contractors for weapons and such. Above half of the rest went to NGOs 'in Ukraine' most of which was kicked back to the US and Europe I'd assume. When the part that hit Ukraine arrived in country, well, then the party started with items being sold off all around the world.

Ohio Democrat Gubernatorial Candidate Is a "Liar" Who "Needs Help" Says... Her Mom in Campaign Attack Ad
Amy Acton is, reportedly, Kamalaesque in her passion for self-medication.
I got that from Beege Wellborn, who has a good backgrounder on Amy Acton, including her history of inventing dramatic but false claims of assault that rival Jussie Smollet's. But why would her own mother call her a liar in a campaign ad? Why would her own mother none-too-subtly imply that she is mentally sick and needs to spend time at a sanitarium rather than the governor's mansion? Well, it's all odd. Amy Acton says that her step-father raped her at age 12 and that her mother "enabled" it. Her mother Amy Acton is a fabulist.
Kentucky Girl
@Kentuckygirl1 This is Dr. Amy Acton, the Democrat candidate for Governor. In 2019, there was a police visit to her home after she and her husband apparently got into a drunken domestic dispute. According to the police record, after drinking and taking an unknown amount of medication, she allegedly pulled a mirror off the wall, and was about to start driving until her husband talked her out of it. A medic was dispatched to the scene and advised that Acton be taken to the hospital to get checked out, but she declined. At the time, she was the director of the Ohio Department of Health. This is not a person who should be leading anything, except maybe an AA meeting.
If Ramaswamey did drop this ad, then it seems likely that he believes he is in fact behind the latest Democrat alcoholic wine-mom, because this is a high-risk move he wouldn't chance if he thought he was ahead. So, Ohio Morons, vote. As for the claims of abuse: I obviously don't know if they're true or not. I just read about this five minutes ago. Her claim that an "armed man" came after her at a campaign event -- which didn't happen -- suggest she might have a histrionic personality disorder and that she might confabulate threats and assaults for attention. Or she could be a legitimate rape victim who engages in the Democrats' favorite past-time of faking victim status. I don't know. I do know I would not want to entrust the machinery of the state to this covid Karen who seems to have a substance abuse problem and allegedly poor mental healthy.
A jarring new ad in the Ohio governor's race features Democrat Amy Acton's birth mother denouncing her and calling her a liar -- but Acton says her mom enabled and supported the man who raped her when she was just 12 years old. Acton's campaign is now accusing her GOP opponent Vivek Ramaswamy of reaching a "despicable low" in the race by dredging up her painful past as a child sex abuse survivor. In the shocking video, Donna Arthur accused Acton of embellishing her accusations about being sexually abused as a child. "I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent--and it's not easy for a mother to say this -- but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past," Arthur said in the stunning video clip. "She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true," Arthur went on. "She's lied her entire life. My daughter needs help, and she can't help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn't doing that." "Don't vote for people who lie. Don't let her become your governor. If you think she'll make your life better, you're fooling yourself. It will only get worse." Acton's camp immediately hit out at Ramaswamy -- a tech exec and 2024 presidential candidate -- after the video surfaced online Tuesday, but it was not clear who was sponsoring the spot. Ramaswamy's campaign didn't immediately comment Tuesday. ... "After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy's rapist until he died," he added. ... Acton currently has a 3.7 percentage point edge over Ramaswamy in the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate of polls -- despite Ohio being deep red since 2016. The state gave President Trump 53% of the vote in 2020 and 55% in 2024. The Ramaswamy-Acton race has been one of the nation's nastiest this year -- with rampant mudslinging and deeply personal attacks from both sides. Ramaswamy's allies have sought to paint Acton as unstable and insinuate that she has an issue with alcohol. For her part, Acton has called Ramaswamy a "serial liar" and a "scam artist," refusing to debate him. Her allies have also attacked him over his business affairs. Rumors had swirled for some time that Ramaswamy's allies were planning to spotlight Arthur, according to lefty Ohio political site The Rooster. Acton, who helmed the Ohio Department of Health from 2019 through 2020, has been open about her harsh upbringing, making it part of her political origin story.
@shipwreckedcrew Wow.
That is all I can say. This does match up with what we have seen before of her daughter. A number of us have thought she was mentally troubled and a liar. But it is rare when it gets confirmed this convincingly.— AnimalFarm (@animalfarmnow) October 20, 2026

No, they were New England Country Club Republicans favoring low taxes, less business regulation but utterly unbothered by social issues. They were part of the ruling elite, and had complete disdain for their voters.
That's why they hate Trump, because he has made the party populist and egalitarian rather than hierarchical.

Our county transitioned from overwhelmingly Democrat to overwhelmingly Republican in just 10 years; our upstart House candidate in 2009 knocked off the incumbent Democrat and, a few years later, moved up to the Senate.
Meanwhile, the party apparatus moved, um, 'receptive' candidates into the mix. Yay.

That would require a law passed by the state legislature, which is doubtful in Ohio.
Though, she could do things like...try to unilaterally change regulations on things like mail in voting to make them less secure.

I suspect that is an emotional reaction. I bet if you thought about it for a little bit, you could definitely come up with some examples of people who do deserve to be publicly destroyed by their own mother. Perhaps a son who kills his whole family, but Mom survives because she wasn't home. Don't be so quick to judge what is and is not deserved. Things happen for a reason. Amy Acton signed on for this when she decided to run. She knew what was in her closet. My gut says the whole family is whack. I don't think that qualifies her to be governor. I am not a Vivek person but he's stable. The political commercials running in OHio this time around are freaking vicious. Have been for the last six weeks.

See also the mailed envelope sent out in TX that's contains a guide on how your kid can become a tranny.
Oh the lefties are pissed 'cause it wasn't actually sent out by a pro tranny organization.
But it sure as hell scares parents on how easy it is for them to reach their children.
90% of the Dems strategy this election was based on R voters not turning out.
Fear turns R voters out.
I received one. And felt dirty just touching it.
It was like "Hippo Voice, here's your guide on how you can transition."
Say, you know who is a big fan of making kids into trannies?

I just voted for James Talarico in Texas because “the trans community needs abortion care too.”
-----
I read yesterday at the end of one of the threads (thus willowing the comment) someone lamenting the Talarico bumper stickers in their Catholic church parking lot. I'm not Catholic, but if I was I'd be tempted to do a whole lot of "riddle me this..." questions after church services to anyone purporting to be Catholic while pledging support for a perverted lunatic like Talarico.

My baby brother is the same way, he is incapable of being truthful even when the truth would better suit his needs. He makes up fantastic stories that are completely 100% false but he expects everyone around him to believe them.
He once claimed that he was kidnapped by the neighbors and held captive for four days when he was 8 years old. They forced him to make them breakfast for them every day until my sister came and rescued him from their garage. I asked him why none of the rest of us, including his mother noticed he was missing for four days. He still insisted that he was kidnapped.
It's a mental illness.

Vivek won the primary by like 60 points.
I think the normal voters in Ohio are far less worried about Vivek than online.
It reminds me of the people insisting that Massie was going to win his primary because he was totally on board with online narratives.
Ohio is so deep red that even if Vivek loses a solid chunk of Republicans, the senate race will get him over the line by increasing the number of low turnout Republicans voting in 2026.

Sometimes liars tell the truth. Sometimes they are malignant narcissists with BPD (documented) who lie, and/or their lies become their truth as they are vindictive and want to hurt others. This sounds like Dim word salad, but I know someone who did this.
I knew her for 42yrs. Successful attorney except in her pick for 2 marriages. Then she decided to work for corruption, leading to a career end.
At some point she said a friend of ours had been a sex abuse victim from her father, that she remembered as an adult. (I'm not saying this is impossible).
Then the story changed to her own family that HER father abused her. Her parents & sisters said no way. I was around her father all of my childhood through college and he never touched me or was inappropriate. She never mentioned this to me in all those years
However, she then abused her parents mentally, alienated all of her siblings and me, her best friend. I finally had enough and stopped the toxic friendship 20yrs ago.
Again, her lies became real to her about other things, and therefore her lie about her own father was treated the same way.
She also was an alcoholic and druggie.

And yes views on immigration do matter at the state level. A pro immigrant anti American governor will look the other when illegals register to vote. He’ll allow non-Americans do get CDLs. He’ll allow in state tuition for illegals. When the decision comes down to who benefits Americans or non Americans Vivek will always choose non Americans.

The Dem candidate for governor, current SOS Benson, has been hammering James over data centers, claiming he invested money in some. Oooh! But Benson's husband was a direct investor in the controversial Saline datacenter forced on residents.
But wait, it gets dumber! The Dem-controlled legislature passed a law last cycle that stripped away all local zoning authority to stop data centers! That was given to a board appointed by the governor. So rural voters are being told to vote for the nice lady whose husband gets rich and for the party that fucked them over on local control.
I think that is why Michigan seems so red this year.

Under a grand jury indictment? And two or three warrants did get served from Ohio to PA over this. 1981, 1983 maybe 1987.
National Review and HuffPo are reporting on this, digging more deeply than Stephen Green over at PJM.
Not to mention that if Amy Acton has indeed had some emotional Issues, those Issues tend to come from somewhere. Right now it looks like it comes from the guy who crossed state lines to get out of a grand jury's indictment.

You are an elected official. You made a public statement encouraging members of the Armed Forces to defy lawful orders.
You chose to run for office and subject yourself to that scrutiny.
What you are proposing, on the other hand, is a legal/political vendetta against persons for no reason other than they have political positions different than yours. Your goal is to drive them away from public service.
That's a Stanlist/Maoist approach to political opposition -- your clearly stated desire is to create a one-party state where political opposition is not just to be rebutted, but to be imprisoned.
You're a disgrace -- and I suspect your comments will haunt the rest of your political career. You've likely put a ceiling on any ability you might have had to climb higher.

They did have phones and email which I noted. Word processing computers - dedicated to that purpose, of producing paperwork, to be printed on dot matrix printers.

Fox News Identifies 54 Marxist/Communist Organizations Funding and Directing the Riots in France
The actual organizations behind the riots are listed in this "Who's Who of France's Chaos, Inc."
SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) -- A Fox News Digital investigation has identified 54 organizations involved in or publicly supporting France's October student protests, including communist parties, socialist groups, labor unions, environmental activists and Palestinian-solidarity organizations. The report alleges that far-left political groups have helped organize and amplify the demonstrations, expanding protests over school conditions into a broader campaign against capitalism, government austerity, policing and military spending. Among those highlighted is Vijay Prashad, executive director of Tricontinental, a nonprofit funded by American-born Marxist tech investor Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai. Prashad posted a message on X linking protests in Paris, New Delhi and Buenos Aires, quoting the Clash lyric, "Let fury have the hour, anger can be power." According to Fox News Digital, 16 of the 54 identified organizations are student or youth groups, while the other 38 include political parties, unions, advocacy organizations and media outlets. The investigation also identifies an international coalition of 28 communist and socialist youth organizations and groups that is promoting coordinated demonstrations across 12 European countries under the slogan "Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars!" Organizers are calling for walkouts, rallies, assemblies, blockades and occupations. The report points to organizations associated with Singham's network, including Tricontinental, CodePink and New York-based BreakThrough News, which published video coverage of the French demonstrations under the headline "ANTI-MACRON PROTESTS ROCK FRANCE." CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, Singham's wife, also cited youth demonstrations in France, Spain and India while promoting a planned November campaign in Washington against U.S. military spending.
Fortunately nothing like that is going on in the USA.
Evidence is growing that the tyrannical regimes of China, Iran, and Cuba are not only financing protests in American streets, but actively directing them. The Network Contagion Research Institute, whose work in these areas has been indispensable for years, recently published another groundbreaking study that blows the lid off how this foreign network operates. The report indicates that an Iranian influence node that takes orders from the Islamic Republic regime, the House of Latin America, conducts what NCRI calls "high-impact domestic U.S. influence operations." "For nearly two decades," NCRI says, HOLA "has functioned as a primary bridge between the Iranian regime, Latin American socialist governments, and U.S. anti-war coalitions, with its American-based operatives acting as undeclared agents of a foreign government on U.S. soil." It gets much worse. HOLA, it says, "has now formally merged with Neville Roy Singham's Chinese Communist Party-linked Tricontinental network to form a unified Iran-China operation targeting the United States from the south." Neville Roy Singham is an American who lives in Shanghai, has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, and uses the nearly $800 million he made in the 2017 sale of a tech consulting firm to fund communist causes worldwide. All of this means that "Iran and China have now merged their U.S. influence operations into a single machine," the report says. This means that many of the protests in America aren't organic, but actually Kabuki street theater perpetrated by a red-green alliance of communist and Islamist groups. Less well known is the involvement of malign foreign interests. Hillary Clinton recently got into trouble online not for celebrating street mayhem, but for saying that what was wrong was not the protests, but white Christians trying to stop societal and cultural decay. "People have been protesting, you know, for hundreds of years, that, you know, things were not as they should be, given our ideals and how we should be moving toward them. So I think that's what makes us so special as a country," she said on the liberal confessional stage offered by MS Now's Morning Joe every weekday morning. "The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was, dominated by, you know, let's say it, white men, of a certain persuasion, certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology, is just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for," she averred. I was cheered, though, to hear Hillary confirm that conservatives have derailed the liberal project, at least temporarily: "We were on the path toward that ... we were on the right trajectory."

Slight diversion...
I'll always treasure her public appearances in the aftermath of the 2016 election. She used the same lines over and over. "I was on the way to winning!" she always declared angrily, "and Jim Comey STOPPED my momentum." At that moment, she would dramatically raise her arms and smack her fist into her palm. "If it weren't for that" (turning away from the event host and out to the adoring crowd), "then today, I. Would. Be. Your. PRESIDENT." (roars of applause, lamentation, etc)

This year, they're using up a lot of reserves (see SLPC) and are truly desperate to regain some power. Unfortunately, I can see Trump agreeing to refund some of USAID as part of a budget deal for 2028 if the Dems retake both House and Senate, and there any enough uni-party Republicans hiding in the shadows to cheer them on.

Socialist governments in South America were funders as well, but those have mostly fallen (Brazil next, hopefully).
Cuba's having more blackouts than normal, and I suspect financial pressures on the island from Bessent at Treasury are strangling what lifeline the elite have in the nation. So, it's ability to fund and organize is probably lessened.
And Trump has centered Chinese interests as his focus on foreign policy (Iran is an offshoot of that), squeezing them in on an assortment of fronts.
I don't think this nexus of funding and organizing is going to be as effective today as it was 3 years ago.

Vivek thought it was a good idea to drag in Amy Acton's biological mother to run an ad against her:
x.com wcdispatch/status/2112388948563554668
That mother had lost custody of Amy when Amy was twelve, because she'd hooked up with a pedobear who then molested Amy from nine-to-twelve because that's what those scum do to kids.
Probably why Amy has had a few too many drinks on occasion. (Not saying Amy is a good candidate on the D side, either.)

I think this is their desperation. The global left is losing power and right now their money. If they can be denied for another year or so, they will be spent dry in 2028. But they are a wounded animal right now, and perhaps at their most dangerous because there's no downside to risking it all.
Trump 47 has an amazing group of Cabinet officials. And Rubio and Bessent as a team are methodically stripping some of the key avenues for adversaries and enemies to undermine the United States. I hope they have really good protection, because by taking away money and power, they are enraging some truly evil people who have zero moral qualms about anything but their own self-interest.

There's pretty much nothing a slim Dem House majority can do to undo any of the executive's actions (there was never a chance of Dems taking the Senate this year).
If they shut down the government, Trump has authority to direct funds to keep what he deems necessary open (it's the trick Obama used to closed down parks, but applied differently). So, no DOJ, DOT, or DOW operations slow even a moment (DHS is fully funded and appropriated through the end of his term, so they can't do anything about it).
Trump has nearly 2.5 years more to fuck with the left's infrastructure.

Doesn't matter nowadays. Acton claimed reporting to the police, no reports have been found. The person making the assertion is the one that has to prove it. Too many bullshit claims nowadays with no actual proof that something existed and then suddenly going vague on details so they cannot be checked. Cornell 7 floozy tried that but apparently Cornell had the text chain in evidence. That is what you have to do rather than claims.

New Zealand police say large pool of human blood in pedestrian tunnel is "not suspicious"
. . . .
Around 10.40pm on October 4, police were called after blood was found in the Coutts St pedestrian underpass in Rongotai, which runs under Wellington Airport to Miro St in Miramar. ...
In an update this afternoon, police said officers "can confirm the matter is not of a suspicious nature, and no further police involvement is required".

The target of the admin's efforts are 2028. Win 2028, and the left loses...a lot.
Whichever party wins the presidency in 2028 controls the 2030 census.
The 2020 was intentionally (and admittedly, by the Bureau itself) messed up, giving at least 6-8 extra seats to Democrat run states over Republican states. They estimated. They didn't count. And the estimates were wrong. Whoops! Whoopsie!
Deport millions. Maybe even not count illegals here. Actually count.
Holy shit, Democrats lose at least 20 if not 30 or more seats in Congress in 2032.

🚨 BREAKING: The feds just moved to seize half a city block in Minneapolis, reportedly bought with stolen SNAP money.
Per the White House fraud task force, DOJ's new National Fraud Division filed yesterday to take back property that was fraudulently bought with food stamp dollars meant for hungry Minnesotans.
Then the speaker turned to the press in the room: "None of your outlets reported it. It took one brave kid and a camera."
That learning center was cited hundreds of times, and the legacy media sat on it for years.
Nick Shirley did their job for free. Now Trump is taking the money back, one city block at a time.

Purely anecdotal but the turnout here in my rural NE Texas county is through the roof. The line yesterday and today was as long as it was for the 2024 presidential election and those ain't democrats standing in line to vote, pretty sure it's that way in most of Texas.
democrats don't even man a station to vote during the primaries in this county. They have to call someone in to open it up if a democrat comes in and wants to vote during the primary.

The BLM riots worked so well in 2020 that months of mail in ballot cheating was enough, Democrats had to shut down ballot counting in six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely get Biden over the electoral college line.
There was a host of research into the riots of the late 60s and early 70s that showed that Democrats suffered for them at the ballot box because the public's impression was that they were the ones backing it, no matter who was actually in control of the government.

Snakes are beautiful unique creatures and most of what people know about them is wrong. I would of course avoid the poisonous ones -- duh -- but the constrictors are safe and beautiful.
I had a rainbow boa with scales that glittered in the sun like a CGI effect. She (we think it was a she) would climb up and down your arm and the scales were super-smooth. The effect was almost like a massage.

We have three garter snakes in our area and a "rubber boa", and further up the hills you can find a rat snake that looks like a diamond back rattler.

Report: Debanking of Conservatives Was Driven by the KKK-Funding Race Grift Organization the SPLC
A recent report from the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) in the Treasury Department shows that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was a driving force behind the debanking of conservative groups prior to its indictment. The SPLC is a left-wing anti-racism advocacy group that has faced scrutiny from conservatives for years over its alleged bias against them and penchant for labeling mainstream political figures on the right as "extremists." ... The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged the SPLC with allegedly defrauding donors by paying exorbitant sums to members of extremist groups, both to act as informants and to recruit and expand their operations. The SPLC has denied wrongdoing in the case, and said in a statement that "The charges against the SPLC are provably wrong; they are based on inaccurate facts and a misapplication of law. Our informant program was successful in accomplishing its purposes: Threats and attacks were prevented, criminal activity was stopped, and information was gathered to dismantle the efforts of hate and extremist groups." The OCC report, released last week, detailed the efforts of financial applications, banks, and other institutions to deny service to conservative organizations, particularly highlighting the SPLC's role. Many of the groups the report documented had been labeled as hate groups by the organization. Driving much of the effort were broad reputational risk policies that the OCC generally swept up many mainstream conservative groups. "Today's report provides irrefutable evidence that the nation's largest banks have denied, debanked and discriminated against customers and lawful businesses," Comptroller Jonathan Gould said at the time. "Americans should have access to financial services regardless of their beliefs, affiliations, or political views. Fair access to financial services is not a mantra--it is a mandate. The Trump Administration is committed to ending the weaponization of finance against hardworking Americans, once and for all." Among the top findings of the OCC were that banks largely did not have quantifiable standards for determining the reputational risk of maintaining relationships with specific customers. Those standards, moreover, allegedly came to the detriment of generally right-wing groups. The report also documented damage to specific industries that were affected heavily by debanking.

That's a big load of steaming hot chocolate dogshit. The "reputational risk" was always a made-up excuse for naked partisan discrimination for political views. I don't think "reputational risk" exists as a basis to refuse a customer. Every bank that did this should have been prosecuted.
Sure, a bank can refuse to do business with criminals, cartels, terrorists, drug dealers, methodists, and known money-laundering actors. But that requires some prior conviction of a crime, or designation on a terror list, or some very hard evidence of criminality.
A bank can't debank Charlie Kirk because they don't like his views on abortion. But that's basically exactly what the banks did.

🚨 NEW: Inside the Neocons’ Secret Plan to Take the Republican Party Back.
A Republican organizing network backed by liberal foundation money held private meetings where participants discussed how to “retake the local party apparatus.”
A former Soros foundation grantmaker helped advise the effort.
The target was local Republican organizations. Their own report records one participant’s assessment that parties were:
“strong enough to still matter, but weak enough to be taken over.”
Participants in Kansas and Kentucky had already begun developing plans to rebuild local parties.
Johns Hopkins’ SNF Agora Institute and the R Street Institute organized the meetings: private dinners followed by full-day, off-the-record sessions. Rules prevented participants’ statements from being attributed to them individually.
Johns Hopkins named Brad Raffensperger among the project’s architects.
The funding includes:
• $1.85 MILLION from Hewlett for the Civic Right project.
• $500,000 from Carnegie for the Conservative Agenda for Democracy program.

Totally off topic, but you were asking about side planks earlier, right? And worried about your wrists? Without seeing you do them, it’s hard for me to say anything specifically, but in general: make sure your hand is under your shoulder and you are not collapsing down, 2. You are targeting your obliques most strongly, so that is what you need to be dialed into to hold you up, think rainbow arch into the obliques. 3. You don’t need to hold a side plank with feet stacked or floated for a long time, but to get there, start in your high plank with feet wide, open up to the side plank with feet staggered. If you are still struggling, bend and plant the top foot behind the bottom leg, then move to staggered, then move to stacked, then to floating. Once you are good there, add in the other stuff that make it spicier with strength tubes, weights, spinal twists, etc etc.
If it wasn’t you, well…here is how you do a side plank. lol.

Imagine you are a left leaning Republican, but you have principles. You want some kind of government oversight of healthcare but not socialized healthcare, you want a welfare net but not as generous as the Dems, you want gay marriage but not tranny crap. You want legal immigration but not illegal immigration and so on.
You stop for a moment and notice you want the exact same policies as Donald Trump has implemented.
You stop complaining about OrangemanBad and go vote for the people he has endorsed knowing this is the best way to get the policies you want.

I think there's more coming on this as it relates to the energy industries. Any way you slice it, it's discrimination based on political views. A significant number of banks joined these "Net Zero" alliances that resulted in refusing loans (and even accounts) to various (very profitable) energy companies. THIS was a direct violation of their fiduciary duties to their investors. And, arguably, you could say that the discrimination on "climate change" policy was ALSO discrimination based on political views. The Premier of Canada was instrumental in these discriminatory practices. And, he (and those banks) bailed quickly when he was elected.

Sure, a bank can refuse to do business with criminals, cartels, terrorists, drug dealers, methodists, and known money-laundering actors. But that requires some prior conviction of a crime, or designation on a terror list, or some very hard evidence of criminality.
A bank can't debank Charlie Kirk because they don't like his views on abortion. But that's basically exactly what the banks did.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 20, 2026 02:30 PM (iFTx/)
I think you are mistaken about what the law is. I believe it is legal for a bank to decide it doesn't want to do business with NAMBLA, for example. Assuming for the moment that NAMBLA isn't actually violating any laws, and only acts as a lobbying group for those that want to make pedo sex legal, a bank can decide that they are just too disgusting to do business with.
They don't get to refuse to do business with people based on race, religion, etc. Maybe the law should be changed to include political views, but that's where we are now.

Successful whistleblowers are entitled to 15% to 30% of the government’s recovery, depending on their involvement and whether the government intervenes. The Act also provides anti-retaliation protections for employees who face discharge, demotion, or harassment for reporting fraud. Common areas of FCA enforcement include healthcare fraud (Medicare/Medicaid), defense contracting, and government procurement.

Rudy is one of the few prosecutors that did that to the Mafia and broke its back. It takes years and you first have to get initial convictions on other crimes to show a pattern of behavior and colluding with others. Helpful to also get insiders to flip on the others in a race to give testimony and government witness status.

The Coast Guard says the vessel was stopped Friday in the Mona Passage, a stretch of water between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Of the 66 migrants, 63 were returned to the Dominican Republic, while three are now in custody facing charges for attempting to illegally reenter the United States.

There's use in investigatory tools of Congress into the executive. It has oversight over the presidency, technically.
But yelling at underlings who can't change policy, which was Gowdy's bread and butter, while passing no legislation to enforce change of behaviors, turned the whole show into farce more than anything else.

There was a viral X post out recently that showed examples from different grade level’s Social Studies schoolbooks in Palestine.
It’s hilarious it’s so bad.
Israel is never mentioned in the entire history of the Middle East.
It’s one lie after another accompanied by endless factual mistakes.
I thought the leftists here were stupid and liars about history here but the Palis are totally mind-raping their children with Goebbels-sized lies.

Report: DNA Proves Ilhan Omar Married Her Gay Brother
Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to try to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post. People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar -- and possibly members of her family like her father -- defrauded immigration authorities. One source said the DNA evidence was critical to proving an allegation that Omar married her brother when she wed Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 because she was trying to help him get a green card -- which never came to fruition.It's unclear whether the DNA was taken before or after Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) searched the congresswoman's home in Washington, DC, last Monday, when federal agents were seen exiting the bungalow with boxes marked "Seized Property Evidence." Another source pushed back on initial reports that investigators had gone "dumpster diving" in order to get DNA swabs of Omar, Elmi, who is currently residing in the UK, or family members. Two more indicated that the execution of the search warrant on Oct. 12, coupled with the DNA and additional evidence, has provided a solid basis to bring charges of conspiracy to commit some form of immigration fraud before a grand jury, stemming from the probe initiated by the Minnesota US Attorney's Office. Given the case is being pursued as a general conspiracy, the evidence will prove useful even if some of the acts fall outside of the statute of limitations. "If you argue a conspiracy, you can allege overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracy that are outside the statute of limitations," said Neama Rahmini, a former federal prosecutor.
Meanwhile, James Comer thinks Ilhan "Omar" might have defrauded "investors" in her "winery." She accepted "investments" in her "winery" -- which I speculate, pretty reasonably, was just an open-secret conduit for illegal political donations -- but the barrels of wine had no wine in them.
Comer continued, "Not only was there a huge discrepancy in the financial disclosure form, there was the winery that was the big base of her $25 million listing on her financial disclosure form." He added, "That winery has, according to the press, been shut down because of fraud. They were apparently selling investors barrels of wine to be aged, but there was nothing in the barrels."Video at the link. I don't know if that constitutes fraud. I think that maybe the barrels wine is aged in are an asset in themselves, so maybe they were buying the barrels for aging wine, but never got around to buying the wine. I mean, I'm 99% sure this business was a fraudulent front for buckraking, but I don't know if empty barrels prove that. Of course there is more fraud than that:
This would explain why the winery suddenly shut down. Omar and Mynett made a killing off a business that either didn't have anything to sell or didn't have as much to sell as it claimed, and then they just shuttered the business and cut their losses, expecting no consequences.
Comer also referred to Omar's numerous connections to the Somali fraud network in Minnesota, including through earmarking taxpayer money for an alleged substance abuse clinic that was actually a fraud scam run out of a restaurant. Omar's sister Sahra Noor likewise seems to be connected both to the $250 million "Feeding Our Future" scam and a USAID fraud scheme. It's all in the family.
Ahem. Five years ago I wrote a column about DNA test results that showed there was a 99.999998 percent chance that Ilhan Omar and her second husband Ahmed Elmi were siblings. A few hours before we went to press my informant was arrested by Biden's FBI. Funny that. https://t.co/MEBWf5U7pv

WaPo, while attempting to exonerate Ilhan Omar, actually reported some incredibly new, damning information.
Ilhan Omar's second husband - the one alleged to be her brother - applied for a green card, was asked about the marriage, and then withdrew his application.— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) October 16, 2026
OMG
Letters from the USCIS and DHS appear to verify that citizenship records for Ilhan Omar's father DO NOT EXIST. No record of his naturalization exists. Ilhan Omar claimed citizenship through her father. If no record exists, how can she be a U.S. citizen? https://t.co/pFjyLgUXUZ— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) October 19, 2026
Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew The process for denaturalizing a person who is a naturalized citizen -- after having come into the country as a lawful immigrant -- is very difficult, and the evidentiary burden is quite high. But if Ilhan Omar was 18 or older when her father became a naturalized citizen -- or if he never became a naturalized citizen -- they she's an illegal alien now and always has been. SHE claims she had derivative naturalization via her father. That means she never went through the process herself of becoming a naturalized citizen. If she had that would be very simple to document -- every lawful alien has an "A File" and evidence of her naturalization would be in that file. If, as she claims, hers was derivative -- and if she was too old or her father lied to everyone about being naturalized himself -- she's going to get the boot because there is no lawful basis for her to remain.

I wonder if the search this time is to determine Ilhan's true father to prove actual relationships. If she misrepresented herself as a daughter to someone who was not her father the question of whether she was of age or not when she was allowed it is moot.

The FBI wouldn't raid her stinky garbage looking for DNA if they weren't serious and/or didn't think they had anything. They are taking this very seriously, and I think they think they have something.
Whether that turns into anything that actually happens, we'll have to see.
I think they have her dead to rights on the financial crimes. And the FBI/DOJ have been taking financial crimes seriously, and indicting and prosecuting, even when it involved protected classes of people.

She'd live like a queen there with all of her wealth she stole from the USA.
In the past year I remember reading of a Somolian woman, stopped by TSA, from exporting a suitcase of cash to take with her to her homeland. Probably from a Learing Center or home health care rip off.
Now I want a white Bronco fleeing to Canada live action film of Omar and her turban of the day. This would make me very happy.

They don't. Lotsa wineries have empty barrels that they buy and sell from other wineries. You can go online and buy empty barrels.
I think some people are looking at this the wrong way. The fraud wasn't at the point of sale of any wine. Wineries don't sell barrels of wine. This wasn't a scam where fake product was shipped.
This scam was at the investment level. What I think was going on was the winery was soliciting investments in the company from "investors" who were likely really just donors or otherwise trying to curry favor with a US rep.
This is a very common way to launder money and evade financial disclosure. It's much easier, leaves less a paper and evidence trail, and can involve higher-dollar laundering than the old "fake product" scam.

- She has the documents but got them because no one checked?
Is that possible? did she go to the passport office and said "oh yea, my father is naturalized." And they just handed out a passport?
Or, has she been going through life with her Somali passport and (I guess) Social Security number we seem to hand out like candy and she never had any document at all.

It's a common practice for wineries to sell whole barrels of a vintage. They do so under custom barrel programs, private-label packages, or wine auctions as well as a number of other programs. I worked a summer at a vineyard and saw it first hand. There's a whole industry of "custom label" application where someone with some throw away income will design their own label and have a vineyard cater to their order (selecting grapes etc.) I'm pretty sure Omar was operating under a botique producer...and they sell barrels over bottles. Some can bring in nearly $15,000 per barrel.

Different level when you do senators.
Imagine Trump 2.0 if he had put Ernst, Murkowski, Cornyn, and Cassidy into cabinet posts, secured replacements from their Republican governors more in alignment with the admin as a whole...and then fired the new cabinet secretaries.
You'd burn a whole lot of bridges doing that (would need buy in from Senate leadership to even hope to pull it off), and you could only ever do it once (no senator would accept the offer again). But, if you pulled it off...magic.

Barrel aging is just not done unless you are growing grapes and making port or sherry or something no one would buy from a fraud office.
- Yet, barrels are nice "decor" and it is possible the empty barrels were for display in the office. A couple mason planks and they make a nice desk or conference table.

What matters most is two things:
Seeing Republican districts turnout to make sure that there isn't depressed turnout on that front.
And, black turnout being down (if South Dallas is any indication, it's very down comparatively).
Democrats can't win statewide if Republicans are actually voting and blacks aren't.
They'd need massively depressed Republican turnout and massively inflated black turnout to have a remote chance.

You get to try someone based on where the crimes were committed. A lot of the financial crimes were committed in Minnesota which has the entire state to draw a jury from. Same for the fraud in immigration--jurisdiction is MN. All DC magistrate did was sign a warrant for her home in DC, not where the cases has to be tried. Normally you go to wherever the evidence is and the local magistrates execute the search warrants on the ground. This was true even regarding Trump. Local magistrate judges issued the Mar a Lago search warrant even though Smith was using a DC grand jury at the time.

No, Narnia is not getting shitcanned.
The exec who greenlit is getting shitcanned (his whole tenure for the last 3 years has been...uneven). The biggest issue regarding his firing is probably David Fincher leaving his contract with Netflix after 10+ years (Lin, the exec, refused the reshoots Fincher wanted and only gave him a fraction of the schedule Fincher asked for).
However, there does seem to be a stoppage on new developments until a new executive team is installed.

These "custom crush" operations are absolutely legit (and probably the best way to make it in the industry as someone who wants a brand- no overhead), but of course can be used fraudulently (which appears to be this case). I know exactly where the operation where they purportedly "produced" is located...
There are many such facilities throughout "wine country" and even in areas far removed from grapes (cities, cities in states without wine grapes, etc). We've shipped grapes across the country for custom crush...
And the custom facilities usually house several to many brands, with varying stages of involvement (from "hands on" owners who will come in and work, to those who buy fruit to have it processed to finished packaging, to "you guys do it all, soup to nuts, and I'll pay for it all"). And all points in between.

A "professor" of "Gender Sociology". Throw her to the wolves and she can find out first hand.

Giorgia Meloni's government is set to approve a series of measures Tuesday, including the deployment of 500 troops in Milan, after a weekend of riots in the northern Italian city. The Italian prime minister is convening a Cabinet meeting Tuesday afternoon to respond to unrest in Milan and other major cities amid youth-led anti-government protests. Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani told Italian media deploying soldiers "with police powers" would be among the measures his government would take. Police in Milan arrested around 270 people over the weekend, most of them minors, after authorized youth protests turned into violence and looting -- echoing riots in neighboring France. The government is also considering a range of measures to extend policing powers. People who have not committed any crimes but are seen as a potential risk could be held in preventive detention for up to 24 hours -- a provision that may include minors. Police could be allowed to arrest people they believe to be rioters even after the fact, and prosecutors may be able to charge alleged rioters as members of a criminal group.I don't see the words "shoot to kill" in there so, for the moment at least, Georgia Meloni is a female cuck. Hello. So much grim news. I hope your day is going well.

The Useful Idiot: A Natural History
Specimen: Western, educated, well-meaning.
Habitat: universities, NGOs, quality newspapers, dinner parties where the wine is good and the opinions are better.
Status: abundant.
The useful idiot is not exactly stupid. This is the first and most important thing to understand. Stupidity would be a defense.

But it's going to have an effect on softer supporters who start looking at these people as...not normal.
There's a theory that female political preferences actually signal the end points of political movements because they see the established order as something to defend. However, that means that things are shifting away from them as they get more shrill.

Part of the reason the Jane Hoe case didn't get nearly the traction the left thought it would. Normal people -- including normal women -- took a look at the actual facts and saw the lies and the op. The only news you hear about the case now is continued drip-drip of exculpatory evidence.

Which is why when the Cornell 7 texts started leaking out into common knowledge, the embarrassing op was suddenly shelved by the media. Repeat over and over again for unsuccessful leftist ops. They are always trying for the next George Floyd if they don't have an actual meltdown like Bush's Iran and Iraq policy and economics destruction in his second term.
I think in our relatively passionless world, those that in previous years would have been involved in poetry/activism (see Lord Byron), do gooderism, (see Robert Owen and the Shaker movements), and religion, have now become passionate Marxist fans in the 20th and 21st Century.

It's not about shifting major segments of the population in terms of something like voting. It's not about convincing people of details.
It's about the left ceding all detail completely which allows for just the smallest bit of detail (Craig snorting ketamine off a passed out guy's dick) to the point where one piece of information can emotionally shift softer partisans against the ideologues screaming about rape.
"Sure, rape is bad, but what are you talking about? She did this thing."
It's a signal that the feminist left is not ascendant because they have nothing else but emotional manipulation and screaming anymore.

The simple historic fact is that Women only have the safety and power that Men (as a group) give them... because truth is that Men can use violence to take away that safety, or power, at any time.
This is not Good, Right, or moral... but then again those who would take away Women's Rights are not Good, Right, or Moral, by Western Standards.
So the only protection they now have, is Western Men... the very group they have spent decades degrading, belittling, and telling they must be more like Women.

A lot more than you would think. Most people are not terminally online like here. So average folks sort of absorb bits and pieces of whatever current op is going on but are too busy with their own lives to spend a lot of time on it nor even really affecting voting behavior. And the bits and pieces are often disjointed like the Cornell woman was a slut but the guys were bad too by taking advantage of the slut. So not really feminist, not really for the frat guys.
Riots in Paris would have similar disjointed impressions based on casual scrolling of their social media feed or worse, the people watching tv. And almost like magic, in a time of uncertainty, most individual fall back to some pseudo middle ground--well, they are students but are doing bad things yet if they are not getting enough money then French state is at fault.
What makes it worse is that we are a post literate society--that means visuals are as important and storytelling by twits on screen are more important than actually delving into the complicated facts themselves.

You only think that those two things contradict each other, because you are a reasonable Western human being with understanding of logic.
Rape is not forcible sexual interaction with an unwilling target (they way normal people define it) - rape is the expression of power by someone powerful. White men are powerful, therefore any sexual interaction they have is an expression of that power, which is why all white men are rapists.
Brown men are not powerful, because they are not white, therefore any sexual interaction they engage in cannot be rape, because you cannot express power you don't have.
It's Wonderland logic.

It's actually probably good news.
Are the French Riots the Republicans’ October Surprise?
Our ex-president Barack Obama is fairly fanning the flames of disruption, coming out in loud support of the noxious Ilhan Omar. It’s as if he wants to relive the glory days of the Ferguson or the Trayvon Martin shootings. Where is this leading, and what is he really trying to do? I don’t think it’s just winning a midterm election, and it’s certainly not saving Omar.
I hope we never find out. Actually turning the tables and winning the midterms is one way to stop this in its tracks. The French red-green rioters may have given us a gift by providing absolutely every Republican a great talking point in the waning days of this campaign, a talking point most normal people will respond to. As I type this, Trump is using it in Kansas. Every candidate should too. And so should we with everyone we talk to.

And it's not just the generalized mayhem that's being rolled back. All crime in the city has cratered. There's a lot of work left to do in Memphis, but the troops made a huge difference, very fast, and with almost no bloodshed.
I hope people who live there take note of how easy this was for a small group of men who weren't on gang payrolls to achieve, and work on clearing out their PD.

Instead of looking at racism, sexism, or classism as separate, isolated problems, intersectionality examines how these systems overlap and compound.
For example, discrimination faced by a Black woman cannot be understood simply by looking at racism and sexism separately; rather, the two forces interact to produce a distinct experience. (Britannica & more)
Coined in 1989 by American civil rights advocate and legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw; however, the underlying concept existed well before Crenshaw gave it a name, and the concept has since broadened across sociology, public policy, and social justice movements to include class, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, and age.
For example, intersectional analysis looks at how gender
(i.e., men making the rape threat) interacts with their race, ethnicity, citizenship status, and socioeconomic background to shape their daily experiences.

Just do not forget we are where we are mostly because of the foundation Trump laid. This is not to take away from anyone else who has put it on the line or fought, but Trump is the one who forced the media to pick a side rather than pretend to be objective.
He did the same with the GOP and what was pretending to be it.
A series of Bushes and Cruzes and Huckabees simply does not get that done. You and others are analyzing a post-Trump world potentially without noting or giving credit to what Trump did.
Without what he did and does, we slink back toward ignorance and hell. Don't get me wrong. We can draft in his wake and be thankful for Elon and Twitter for the next five years or so but when the Left gets in they will clamp it all down and restrict everything to the point where it stops mattering what people know and don't know. But feelings will still be there.

To your point 1, it’s effective. A part of you breaks forever.
To your point 2, women who make up claims of sexual assault are doing more than just harming the man you are trying to hurt, they are harming every woman who has been assaulted and who may be assaulted. They are causing women who should be believed to be doubted, which causes women to be reluctant to report, which leaves the assaulter out there to hurt others. The disgust I have for these women cannot be accurately put into words. For the falsely accused men, for those who would never, ever do something so vile, I can’t begin to imagine the pain in their hearts, and a reputation that will be ruined just by the association.

What also annoys me is how the left continues to “discover” sexual harassment and sexual assault. Long before #metoo there was Anita Hill, then Monica Lewinsky. Each time WE get lectured about appropriate behavior, and men lectured “how not to rape.” No, normies know how to behave, where there are boundaries, thanks to mandatory workplace training, being decent people with vale’s and respect for others, etc. Just because one of your Lefty leaders was a perv and you allowed it doesn’t mean it’s a teachable moment for the rest of us.

It took til 2006 and the Duke rape case to bring it to the forefront of news of college rape accusations.
I remember because I had two sons in universities and a couple of years prior read stories of boys being expelled for false rape charges. Their stories not heard by the Title IX committees on campus. Consensual texts of sex (often by the girl to the boy for sex) were not recognized to support the boy's stories.
The mere fact of underage drinking doomed these boys to be expelled and register as sex deviants. All because of a girl's vengeance of seeking sex without a relationship. I do hope, after thousands of $ and a return to court, they got their lives back.
Using Title IX for revenge is the crowning point of a woman scorned in universities...along with true rape.

Both state parties are dominated by country club Republicans who see illegals as cheap labor and economic growth and whose cultural affinities are with their leftist classmates in selective colleges. They are Republicans to get rich, not to fight political battles. And their hideous political consultant apparatus respond to the donors that pay them and the state parties that force candidates to use them if they want to win a primary. Big donors are well to the left of the GOP party mostly on social issues but hate taxes and regulation that prevents them from getting richer.

Ciattarelli would have beaten the loathsome Sherill in 2024 had there been a functioning GOP in NJ. Hell, he might have beaten Potatohead Murphy in 2021 if there was.
Likewise, Hochul would be toast in November if NY had a functioning GOP party.

Yes.
Democrats will look at Trump+14 Texas and say, "Maybe we can win it!"
Sure, the insiders are using it for graft, but the donors giving Talarico tens of millions of dollars think it's possible.
And then we look at Kamala+3 MN having a Senate race with a bunch of local controversies affecting the Democrat party and just stand off saying, "Nah, it's a deep blue state. Don't even bother thinking about it."
We take our cues from leftist news sources. It's an underlying reality of the entire right-wing ecosystem in America that hinders and shapes so much in terms of tactics and strategy.

I think this is a lot less true than it once was. Texas Democrats were once a unique species. How do they differ from the national brand these days? If Robert Francis O'Rourke or James Talarico differ from the average Democrat, I haven't noticed it.
I don't know that you can even blame the local GOP (entirely) for the NJ situation. It's not like the RNC couldn't intervene and help out if it wanted to win. There's just not a lot of evidence that it does; it acts more like a union for GOPe incumbents.

State party organizations exist to implement party big donors' wishes and keep some of that sweet cash flow in someway for themselves. So if you are a candidate in a winnable district, the party demands that you use their own consultants from a list--finance, fund raising, legal, etc. If you try to roll your own, you get challenged in the primary by a candidate who towed the line on accepting party help. And repeatedly, just like party officials, these political consultants hate base GOP voters and are in fact well to the left of the GOP ideologically. And they want to get rich.
So, instead of GOTV which involves doing what the base voters want, you get mailers, robocalls, crappy ads, crappy media relations, etc. All of these make a pretty penny for the GOP consultants and they don't have to hang out with the smelly people but can smooze with what they consider their equals--reporters, ad placement for media, special interest policy wonks e

Ian S. have you donated in the past? You will get those texts and calls because those consultants bought your name from whoever you donated to.
thatjerseyguy, you might vote but consultants running campaigns want to get rich. If a candidate does not pay them to text and call you, the consultants won't do it. GOP consultants HATE GOTV activities because the commission rates are a lot lower and it often deals with volunteer management. Left uses NGOs to do it sometimes paid, sometimes ideological, the right uses paid mercenaries who have the loyalty of a paid mercenary.

So far, in almost every state, we see the TDS brigade, probably old lefty boomers that seriously go to No Kings rallies go to the polls or submit their mail in requests/ballots on the first day. Then the tide recedes day by day. Leaners claiming they are independent but are in fact less likely to vote in every election are going to be the 'swing' version this election that either show up or don't vote depending on party success in mobilization.
Base voters are going to vote and the endless stupid demoralization polling/prediction markets don't seem to be affecting GOP base voting turnout at all. Media has become largely ignored by such voters now.

PA's primary method of protecting its budget is tax code decoupling. Act 45 has explicitly rejected several-business friendly federal tax write-offs established under the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). By forcing corporation to add back these federal deductions on their state forms, PA artificially widens the taxable base to extract more revenue, even as the baseline tax rate drops.
For decades, PA had one of the highest corporate tax rates in the nation at 9.99%, which severely crippled its economic competitiveness. The tax rate has dropped to 7.49% for 2026 & will continue its downward glide path until it hits 4.99% in 2031. Because it cuts deeply into the state's recurring revenue, the Decoupling Strategy will compensate for the reduction over the next 5 years.
PA also has an aggressive sales tax & the "Digital Commons" Tax Catch-All; has explicitly refused to conform to No Tax on Tips as per the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and has a pathetic energy policy.
No wonder many PA residents never feel the Federal tax relief programs!

But here is the funny thing, the challenger is in some local office currently and admitted in one interview he didn't go to most of their committee meetings because, well, they don't really matter. This has become the item that every Republican social media post/ad I see focuses on.
Now the Dem alternates ads and social media with pleas to stop mud slinging and...calling for the incumbent to be defeated because he didn't show up to all his committee meetings.

But while all accurate, this trashing of state GOPs is sort of in the same category as blaming shadowy unknown forces - or foreign influence "ops"!! - for various idiotic and destructive trends or events.
It's the voters that are the problem. As Trump's existence redundantly demonstrates, if the voters insist on something, they'll get it (ludicrous theft like 2020 being an exception of course, but the foundations of that also are laid by voters who mostly didn't revolt in the slightest, even after that, to clean things up).

I noticed that. And ironically, it was partly a factor of the business community who were soft GOP types bringing in out of state banks and other economic development to Charlotte. Bring in out of staters, might improve economics briefly but inherently the newcomers too often revert to bad voting habits and virtue signalling they learned from their home blue state and education at college.

It's the voters that are the problem. As Trump's existence redundantly demonstrates, if the voters insist on something, they'll get it (ludicrous theft like 2020 being an exception of course, but the foundations of that also are laid by voters who mostly didn't revolt in the slightest, even after that, to clean things up).

When the dems win, they play dirty and change the rules. When the repubs win (which has been a long time in Kalifornia), very little changes. The ratchet is only allowed to move one way...
Even if prop 39 here passes (voter ID measure) expect it to be held up in court while Ju(D)ges here declare it disenfranchises voters (how? They'll pull up SOMETHING) and is watered down or killed, like Prop 8 against Gay Marriage was almost 20 years ago.

Years back I was adjacent to but not involved in a state-wide campaign. A prominent Dem political consultant was the campaign adviser - the candidate was one of a tiny handful of GOP candidates that this guy would work for.
After a big strategy meeting, I'm told by a participant that one of the basic planning factors was estimating the fake vote total out of Philly. Just a routine consideration. Actual voter participation rates and expectations were no part of it.

Most of GOTV is like an iceberg, you don't see it if you are a regular voter but to ideally it should be targeted at the voter that appears for the party in presidential elections but not in midterms. Or identifying new voters and making sure they get to the polls.
Your voting history as to what elections and even primaries and special elections are public record and a wise GOTV guru is going to ignore those that vote every election because those types know what they are voting for and it is a waste of resources to mobilize them etc. You might get a late call if you are such a supervoter and have not voted yet. But otherwise, you should get nothing.
Wasteful GOPe types spray fliers, etc. around to these super voters because they get commissions for it. Best to target those that might not vote but have voted GOP in the past like primaries, etc.
Suspect this is still true but all advertisements have diminishing marginal utility as a barrage of them tends to get tuned out and wasted to get a few votes. What is a killer is turning out your voters that vote less frequently. And you should be watching turnout figures in competitive races for that.

Collapse of morale over time has led to a situation where a good friend who was briefly involved in the state party said at the convention he attended the party gave an estimate of 30% voting participation by registered party members, in many counties.
And while desperation and common sense keep many voting, you also get things like this. The pretty solid guy running for governor against the loathsome, and stupid even by current Dem standards Becerra, in their one debate, said that we "needed to lower the temperature" on immigration.
That's it. Lower the temperature. Because, you know, both sides have become too emotional. It's not a situation where massive individual and social costs are being inflicted via lawlessness. Just a heated little spat or something.
The more attentive and informed a likely GOP voter is, the less likely they are to vote (select local issues excepted).

I did canvassing one year (2016) in my neighborhood. It was enlightening. I found out my small neighborhood had about 10 folks listed as over 115 years old! Amazing! One person was registered under one name...no surname. Another, the registered person's "son" said they didn't live there any longer (in rest home). So many folks on that voter roll with info that was suspicious. BTW, almost all those over 115 were registered (D)...and my county has greater than a 100% registration rate too! Amazing! Math Defying!
But the State insists the rolls are fine!

Yes. A term's worth of funding. Yay. They blocked his wall when it counted, and was his signature legislation.
This time, the signature legislation, the one he and his administration went to the mattresses for, was SAVE. An even more important law, blocked by the GOP.
Virtually everything he did in both terms was phone-and-pen work - because he and his voters do not have the support of their other elected leaders.
If anyone wants to find someone to blame for flaccid Republican turnout in these midterms, they should look somewhere else besides the millions of people who crawled over broken glass to vote for him.
They are motivated. Just by far different things than the GOP is.

Government workers are almost 80-90 percent Democrat because the Democrats want more spending, higher salaries, etc. for their constituents. Somewhat true of government contractors depending on their specialty. NoVA grew into a behemoth and became fabulously rich because of government spending and white out migration from DC and Maryland as they got blacker with higher crime.
It is not surprising with the surge in government spending from 2000-2016 that NoVA became bluer and bluer as well, a greater and greater share of the population of VA, and some of the wealthiest per capita counties in the US. And this is in direct contrast with the rest of the state but NoVA wags the Virginia dog so to speak.
And that VA GOP party was dominated by those profiting from the growth in NoVa, not the areas of the party base.

There are two elements to this:
First, immigration enforcement is still the major issue. And securing funding only for ICE through 2028 and leaving the rest of the federal government up for budget games is not small. You dismiss it as "only for one term" but the proper measure is "until the next budget crisis" which is always another few weeks away. That Thune got that done is...simply amazing. And everyone forgot it. In fact, as we can see now, people dismiss it as nothing.
Second, I can see how Thune got the horsetrading done to get the OBBB passed with that spending because it was a big spending bill.
But the SAVE Act isn't that. It's a targeted piece of legislation around policy. And then his majority of 53 includes Murkowski, Tillis, Cornyn, Cassidy, Mitch, and Ernst.
If those six refuse to vote for it no matter what (5/6 are retiring this year), what could Thune do to get them to vote for it?

Multiparty democracies are worse and I can prove that mathematically. PR is not a pathway to good policy and government accountability. You can take a look at what its done abroad and a classic example is the situation Belgium is in. Did not have an actual governing majority for decades because the Walloons and Flemish hate each other and the main parties are ethnically based.
Israeli coalition politics come to mind and the implosion of Germany is another example.

Not really true. Johnson managed multiple bills through the House that went to die in the Senate. It is the Senate that is the remaining bastion of GOPeism and that will change quite a bit with the departure of those Mitch groomed and pampered.
But the filibuster has to go if there is to be any policy movement and that is the hardest thing for ANY president to get rid of. Even Biden and Obama could not do it.

174 The problem is the Senate majority which includes Murkowski, Tillis, Cassidy, Cornyn, Mitch, and Ernst. 53 GOPers where 6 are outright against Trump in terms of policy for whatever reason, and 5 of those 6 are retiring this year and don't have to face the voters again.

They put in Republican majorities for '17 and '25.
Those majorities adamantly and vociferously *refused* to implement those policies.
Your argument is predicated on something that doesn't exist - a MAGA Republican party that motivates Trump voters. The Republican Party is metaphysically useless, and so it doesn't.

The fortunate thing is that their replacements seem far less inclined to make shows of themselves or put themselves on the line.
Curtis in UT will say some mild stuff on CNN but has never once voted against a Trump priority. He's far down the totem pole in terms of seniority in the Senate, and he's part of a dying breed of Republicans who make their time between elections about how much they hate the base.

Many of the people that post politically including me are ideological--we have a mental framework of how the world works, have specific policy preferences, and have a cause and effect mechanism as to what causal factors are involved in something like Iran policy and what it should be.
Most voters have outcome preferences but vague ideas about policy needed to get to their outcome preferences. Eg. Education--should the GOP encourage vouchers? home schooling? charter schools? religious education? public schools?. Ideologues will have strong beliefs about how a policy will reach 'good' outcomes.
An average GOP voter has the outcome preference of wanting the best education of their kids that they can afford. Or if no kids, then the cheapest method in public property taxes that does not affect home values in suburbia, etc.
See this on gun policy. An ideologue wants no restrictions (or conversely total banning) while an average voter wants peace and security without running gun battles in the streets. Etc Etc

One is getting a candidate willing to run in a probably losing race. Democrats do that, GOP are strategic. Used to be hopeless races had a GOP lawyer, real estate, or some other type that could use a party nomination for advertising their services. That has become a lot trickier now as you have at least 30 percent, and more in blue districts, that if you do that now, you are viewed as the devil incarnate and would actually lose business. The left loves to cancel people via Yelp fake reviews, etc.
And you might even end up like the Charlotte GOP council candidate whose house got shot up and he had to move due to threats.
The Democrats have returned to their KKK roots in political violence for the cause which causes all but the most assured of running as a GOP candidate. And in a blue district, running as a milksop is about the only chance for an upset but then the base refuses to vote for you in such places. See Collins for example.

I think there's a misunderstanding of how long change takes to actually happen in America through the legislative process. We're kind of used to SCOTUS-level proclamations that shift major policy on a dime, but even those took years, often decades to reach that point.
The comparison I keep coming back to is the 1924 Immigration Act.
It didn't just come together as a thought in 1922 and then become law a couple of years later.
It was the product of lobbying and legislative efforts for 40 years, at least. The seeds of the immigration problems that necessitated it stemming back to the 1840s, nearly 80 years earlier.

Sad painting. Stoics would probably like it as a nice daily reminder that life in finite.
From Chat....
Sitting Old Man Nude is a striking figure study by Slovenian painter Anton Ažbe (1862–1905), an influential artist and art teacher. Rather than idealizing the human body, Ažbe portrays an elderly man with realism and sensitivity, emphasizing the effects of age through his posture, skin, and physical form.
The painting demonstrates Ažbe’s skill in observing anatomy, light, and shadow while capturing the quiet dignity of an ordinary human subject. It reflects his belief in painting directly from life and his commitment to honest, expressive realism.

Anton Ažbe (30 May 1862 – 5 or 6 August 1905) was a Slovene realist painter and teacher of painting. Ažbe, crippled since birth and orphaned at the age of eight, learned painting as an apprentice to Janez Wolf and at the Academies in Vienna and Munich. At the age of 30, Ažbe founded his own school of painting in Munich that became a popular attraction for Eastern European students.

Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter.
“My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America.
I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem.
She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life.
My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that.
Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”

The irony Is not lost on anyone who has read The Last Battle that the end comes when a donkey puts on a lion skin suit and parades around as a fake lion. A gender bending fake Aslan by a non Christian was always going to be a tough sell. But destroying the eagle and child in the trailer, and resetting it to the 50s instead of keeping it in a timeline where WW2 bombings of London happen, was just bizarre choices.

Rot is pretty deep in Euroland and she may believe that all those Muslims are necessary to prop up the economy and the French welfare state.
Then again, she could just be lying to win the election and then do what she wants.
I think though the Overton window on Muslims in Euroland is moving on policy options but the question is will it move enough in time to do something before a disaster.

In part because the USSR sent billions of dollars to the US to promote ugly, primitive art, as proven in the Venona intercepts. They couldn't stand that we had really neat design and architecture in the 20s and 30s (Beaux-Arts, Art Deco, Art Moderne, Streamline Moderne) and they have stuff that looked like the Obama library.

Very few leaders are economists and economist are captured by the left just like other social science fields. You still see that canard bruited about here as illegals saving social security and other such drivel.
Apart from Thatcher perhaps who was formally trained as a chemist, most political leaders use advisors on policy matters like economics. The profession leans left and produces leftist justifications. Frankly, macroeconomics is not a science but a grab bag of political ideas and some empirical observations. Microeconomics is pretty much a science, macro--not so much.

It’s also a glimpse into how sheltered and delusional these freaks are, aside from the obvious traits.
This furry troon died because he taunted a homeless guy who threatened him. He claimed the guy was “too old” to do anything, and then got stabbed to death.
Most people that have real world experience know that homeless people are mostly brainfucked wildcards and should be avoided. They’ll kill eachother over a leftover fentanyl foil if they have to.
These people’s entire realities were shaped online. They have no idea how this world works. He thought he could make a snarky remark like he was on reddit and got murked by a dude who probably ate literal garbage earlier that day."

At this point it's clear that the elites set a deadline of 2030 for the entire world to be run by a unified Communist government, basically a world-wide EU. And the closer we get to that date with countries like the US and Japan (and most of South America) going the opposite direction the sportier things will get.
