Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Report — 6/ 3 /26Good morning kids. While it certainly looks as if Graham "Oyster cracker" Platner is on the verge of going kerSPLATner. Sure he's utterly horrendous on every level. But he's not a one-off considering this happened just down the coast in New Jersey: Adam Hamawy, a controversial candidate who previously volunteered with an al-Qaeda-linked group, has won the Democrat primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s (D-NJ) seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Hamawy, who was endorsed by the so-called “Squad,” became a lightning rod for criticism on the campaign trail due to his intense criticism of Israel and his having volunteered with the Benevolence International Foundation in Bosnia, per the New York Post: An Iraq War veteran, Hamawy has made national headlines for saving Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-Ill) life after a helicopter crash as well as for his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip.How "controversial" could he have been and still come out on top let alone even be a candidate? Yes New Jersey, especially the bedroom communities/counties near NYC are leftist dominated with growing populations of Muslims from some of the worst Islamic hellholes on earth. The "Squad" are also not really outliers but represent more and more the majority of the Democrat base and ultimately are going to supplant the old guard allegedly "moderate" "liberal" leadership, bth those words in quotation marks for obvious reasons since Democrats are neither moderate nor liberal. Great he rescued Tammy Duckworth. This is kind of like Otto Skorzeny rescuing Mussolini. Be that as it may, the Democrat/Leftist party and movement is at war and has always been at war with Americans and America as founded. Unless and until the hatred of this nation its people history and heritage are utterly burned out of that Party's black heart, we'll never know a moment's peace. It's us or them and it's high time we realize it. Of course there are those allegedly on our side who won't and never will, and worse, will aid and abet in our destruction: . . . the American conservatives whom Mike Pence is urging to take the high road can’t afford to pretend that doing so will ensure victory. We are not facing political opponents who can be lectured into behaving more civilly. The late Freedom Center founder David Horowitz warned decades ago that we are at war with an enemy determined not to seek coexistence with us but to destroy us. Today’s Democrats call for and celebrate our murder, for God’s sake. They certainly won’t be shamed into cleaning up their language. Pence writes that civility “is how we can find principled common ground in America.” This is a beautiful dream, but the reality is that Left and Right today have no common ground – none. There is literally no political issue – abortion, immigration, race, crime, education, the family, poverty, homelessness, national security, national sovereignty, the environment, foreign policy, religion – on which there is not a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between both sides. Even if there were a patch of common ground somewhere, the Left is not interested in tilling that soil, but craves total power. The idea that Republicans and Democrats can reach across the aisle and come together even in a grudging mutual respect is, sadly, a fantasy.Yeah, about that civility: There are judicial rulings that raise complex legal questions, and there are rulings that expose a deeper rot. Judge Leonie Brinkema’s decision to block the Justice Department’s Anti-Weaponization Fund belongs firmly in the latter category. What occurred here transcends a routine dispute over government spending — it is a profound assertion of judicial overreach. .. The Anti-Weaponization Fund was established as part of a settlement in President Trump’s lawsuit against the government regarding the unlawful disclosure of his tax information. The fund creates a pathway for individuals who believe they have been harmed by government weaponization or politically motivated “lawfare” to seek compensation. Predictably, this objective has drawn fierce opposition from the very circles that spent years insisting such weaponization either did not exist or was entirely justified. Their opposition tells its own story.Mike Pence hasn't uttered a sound about this: rioter was charged Friday “for allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers” at a New Jersey illegal immigrant holding center on Thursday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on X. Another individual was arrested after threatening to murder an immigration officer and his family, Blanche said Friday. The Department of Homeland Security arrested at least six rioters last Wednesday alone for allegedly assaulting law enforcement, while others were arrested in the subsequent days, ABC 6 reported. The attacks took place outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in New Jersey called Delaney Hall. Fox News reported that “agitators…were seen establishing a highly organized logistics and support operation before protests began at the site. Stockpiles of masks, duct tape, hard hats and medical supplies were laid out near the facility.”If we really want civility, we'll get it in a nanosecond once we have summary executions of rioters. Until then Ponce Pence can shove civility where the sun don't shine. Have a great day.

“ "The past few weeks have been filled with great sadness and anxiety for many people in the UK and around the world.
While we have all been affected by recent events, I know from my own family that the pain of losing a loved one is profound. Racism has no place in our society. It is contrary to the values we hold dear and to the spirit of unity that has sustained our country through so many challenges. We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return. We will meet again."

Pence writes that civility “is how we can find principled common ground in America.”
There are around 10 million uncivilized illegals and another 3 million or so skamps, skalliwags, and ne'er do wells that the Democrats protect through NGO, EBT, and Soros DA that will NEVER EVER become part of Western Culture and to think so is not only just plain old STUPID but all dangerous.

Last night I dreamed of my late cat Arizona, the big red tabby-with-white Coon mix. Actually it was not him, but a successor (that I've never had in real life) who looked very much like him.
I was driving in a city unfamiliar to me, along a two-lane avenue that suddenly came to an end at a mini-park. I followed other people on foot around the park, and found myself in a house with a young married couple. I could read her thoughts: She was tired of her husband and his attempts at wit. Suddenly a roach flew into the house, and Arizona II chased it outside and killed it. I was combing a couple of burrs out of his thick long coat when I woke up.

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

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

However, after a night of drinking, the man did just that, using a construction excavator to partially demolish his own property. Divorces can get messy, but you don’t often hear about people destroying their own houses just because their marriage fell apart. However, one marital dispute in Butler County, Pennsylvania, got so out of hand that the husband used an excavator to partially demolish his own house after hearing that his wife wanted to divorce him.----- MoMe location?

DJ Doof - Monthly Trivia Event Tie-in Edition These songs are featured in my monthly classic rock trivia event tomorrow night. Here is the final question for my event tomorrow. Think you can answer it correctly? Category: The Man Behind the Microphone This British singer, songwriter, and keyboardist from Sheffield has one of the most remarkable careers in classic rock history — not because of his own fame, but because of whose band he was in at any given moment. He fronted a band in the mid-1970s and wrote and sang their only major hit, which reached #3 on the US charts. He then joined a well-known British new wave band, singing lead on their most beloved song. He later became the voice of a side project formed by a Genesis guitarist, singing the group’s biggest hit which reached #1 in the US in 1989. He also co-wrote a song recorded by the Eagles on their 2007 comeback album. Despite lending his voice to some of the most recognizable songs of three decades, most fans couldn’t pick him out of a lineup. Name this man.

While not first, I deserve a participation trophy for taking 5yr old granddaughter to tumbling; dealing with a possibly sick 7yr old boy less than a month post op from an appy with a headache; and fretting over the 9mo old that is sick. It had better be viral or I will sue everyone in the hospital and pediatrician who saw her today if she gets worse. I feel so bad for our sweet girl.
If it is viral their Da is in Australia and an entire day's flight away. They have now gotten sick twice in six weeks the minute he is in the air. So we step in and then I get sick and the circle will go unbroken until it is. May, one of my favorite months of the year, is a total blur. Surely things will change soon. It will. Begorrah. There.

OK, "fortress" critiques....
WAY too many gates for a zombie apocalypse. Way too many gates even for a good fortress. Is that supposed to be an electrified fence around the place? Looks flimsy. I guess it might slow down the first wave of zombies, but the rest of them will just walk right over all their friends. No overhangs on any of those walls or corner towers. You need something to pour down the boiling oil/gasoline/whatever. Also, on the one side it really should be right up against the water. The zombies then have to climb the bank AND the wall. (The water itself won't stop zombies. It might stop Nazgul, though, if it moves fast enough.) I'd buy it, though. If it weren't in Russia. A good sized keep would fit inside that very nicely.

Today was their anniversary and I texted our son she deserves jewels and a spa day as he does whatever in Sydney. It is a big business bash trip and he'd better be thankful he married a sweetheart and good mother. I'd be calling him home if one more kid got sick (and she did last month but he was in DC and came home in time for our boy's appendectomy which was not the virus ripping through the rest of us).We are a very calm family. Last month we had major plumbing damage and I barely batted an eyelash when my husband told me in the midst of my imaginary cholera. Might as well burn the house down. The guys are working quickly in the basement to restore parts of walls yesterday and tomorrow and will paint as well (which is a surprise because I thought we would). This was an added special treat for hell month, the plumbing issue. So I figure we are due now for some good times. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at June 02, 2026 10:39 PM (WONhk) 99

My rhubarb is putting out giant leaves and stems, so yesterday I canned rhubarb, and I labeled the jars today.
I am hoping for another couple of batches until it gets hot enough to stop making decent stems. (do not eat rhubarb leaves, they are not good for you) Posted by: Kindltot at June 02, 2026 10:56 PM (rbvCR) 145

Close friend turned me onto "The Wire" a couple of years ago. I don't have time to watch shows but the few I watched with him were fantastic. I catch clips of "Suits" (with Princess Markle), "Breaking Bad", "Better Call Saul", and a couple other shows and there is some good stuff out there these days. There is some great writing.

103 After a few days with my granddaughter I got so sick coughing and sneezing for ten days that I got a hernia.
Posted by: wth at June 02, 2026 10:40 PM (oq9dX) ************** Encouraging. Probably next on the menu along with black plague or a tick disease from the Congo of Mississippi. We got home Wed night and I was half dead, pushing through the near cholera to visit my 95yr old mother. The first text as we got to NOLA airport was that the power was off on the farms (generator power only for fridge and lights). I told my brother: find us a hotel. He did and it was really grand with a rolling river for the kids. And AC. I am no pioneer woman with the dregs of cholera. It was restored in 2 days and we rolled with it, all ten of us gypsies from the West and FL. I was the closest to death I've been in awhile, I think. Keep calm and carry on. On the bright side I don't live in the UK. My husband and I rarely argue about anything. Today was so special he got ornery with me in the car with the tumbling grandgirl and sickish grandson. I glared at him from the backseat. The green lasers of doom. A few minutes passed and he apologized. Things will get better, dammit.

For whatever reason I almost never get viruses, cold, flu, etc. I did get the 'rona, but, aside from a low grade fever for a day or two, and fatigue, it was not a big deal.
I did get a bad cold once, about ten years ago, right in time for a vacation to Yellowstone. It sucked, but I was not gonna give up. I even got laryngitis. The missus joked that it was nice to not have to hear me talk; but then she said, I wish you could talk. Apparently, my random monologues are soothing, or something.

So, this is way OT for the news of the day, but I am excited.
Mom's 80th birthday is this year in October. I was trying to think of a fitting gift and then I remembered something. Before I was born, Mom and Dad exchanged cassette letters with Grandma and Grandpa in El Paso. The ones I have are all from Grandma and Grandpa. They are all dated from 1970. The tapes themselves seem to be in decent condition considering they are 5 years older than I am. I listened to them WAY back, maybe 11 or 12. The content is mostly just daily stuff from what I recall. Grandpa talking about the civil service (he was retired from the Army at the time.) Grandma talking about books and movies. My aunt is on there too as I think it would be 11 or 12 year old. I am going to try to get them restored and digitized. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reputable place that can not only convert them, but be able to repair/restore them? There are a lot of places online, but I do not want to send them to just any yahoo. Posted by: Aetius451AD at June 02, 2026 11:14 PM (bss/y) 195

Robert the Cat (TM) update.
Well, he threw up in the box he's had since before he was adopted, and it became unacceptable. (Note: he has used this box more than I have used the item that came in it.) I had another box. Coincidentally, that box also contained something yet to be used. I placed it next to the old box. And he decided the new box was the new box. I kind of think that's progress. Now, I just need to buy something else I'll never use, and make sure it is shipped in the right box. For the future. Posted by: BeckoningChasm at June 02, 2026 11:21 PM (CHHv1) 214

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

Everybody drives here, so the only people that would actually use public transportation are the poor bastards that have to go to NYC. Nobody uses public transportation to just move around jersey. Where I am I don't even see buses. You occasionally will see one hitting certain bus stops on a highway, like Rt9, but nothing locally. Everybody drives.

Steyer has too damn much & nothing challenging in his life. He simply pisses it away but, with $2.4 billion, he can afford the god complex.
In 2020, Steyer unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for president, spending more than $253 million on his campaign and receiving no pledged delegates before withdrawing in February 2020. In November 2025, he announced a campaign in the 2026 California gubernatorial election to succeed term-limited governor Gavin Newsom;[2] his campaign rapidly became the highest-spending in the field, surpassing $130 million by April 2026.[3].

Well the hot water heater chronicles come to a close with the installation of a new one from Home Despot. They stood behind the warranty on the 5+ y.o. Unit and gave us a new one with a now 9 year warranty. So we're back in reliably hot water. Time to start looking forward to our upcoming week in Yosemite later this summer. Watching election returns for Ca. Not expecting any surprises either way. Hilton maybe doing a little better than expected but still well under 30% of the vote.I don't expect much to change in the foreseeable future in Ca. Bass looks like she'll win in L.

Steve Garvey was leading leaker Adam Schiff with 1.8 million votes. Then, just like that, his lead was cut in half. This is called a “glitch” — a phenomenon that mysteriously favors Democrats by default.

I think tonight’s results in LA are showing exactly what I’ve believed for months - Pratt will easily win a majority of votes actually cast - but votes cast by people now are only about 40% of the votes pumped into the system.

The CA primary is shaping up to be Hilton vs Becerra for governor, and Pratt vs Bass for LA mayor. In November.

Pratt is in second for now but only 48% is in..... Posted by: It's me donna =============== The question is, is Basura in a position to get 50+% tonight? If she gets that, she wins. If not, we have a runoff, with the election, I think, in November. I'm asking because I see so much doom about LA. If Pratt+Raman can keep Basura below 50%, at least the window isn't closed tonight.

Under “democratic socialism”, at the request of 50%+1 voters, the government POLITELY seizes the fruits of everyone’s labors and gives it to others. If you fail to comply, the government arrests or kills you.

"50%+1" does not adequately convey the BS of "democracy"...
Sure, sure-- 2 wolves and 1 sheep. But think about that for a moment. That's 2:1. Heck, that's a super-majority when stated that way. No, no, no... it's more like MILLIONS to MILLIONS plus ONE. Perspective. Posted by: JQ at June 03, 2026 01:30 AM (rdVOm) 410

It will be Pratt and Bass, if the cheating doesn't shut him out. Hoping that Pratt and Bass both go to a runoff, so we can get a giant Pratt summer full of more amazing AI attack ads.

He gives life to the dead and when the bad guys are killing innocent civilians (e.g. Japs vs. Chinese), He "okay, to stop that you have to die." I saw a picture of Gaza yesterday on X.

So here's what I pedict is going to happen in Maine:
The Dem Senators had a meeting with The Nazi and showed him exactly what Kompromat they have on him, and told him that if he plays along, all of this will go away. All he has to do is win the primary, then he will decide that all of the media attention is just too much for his wife, so he is going to drop out of the race to spend more time with his family (and his Kompromat). Then the Dems will sweep in, appoint Janet Mills as the new candidate (hey, they already showed that it would work when they put Kamala in before Joe's campaign was dead and buried - they have precedent), bada-bing, bada-boom, Bob's your uncle, and if it works a second time (which it will), we can expect to see this happening in many more elections in the years to come. Pretty soon, they won't even have to hold primaries or elections - they will just decide who the candidates will be, and if the voters don't like it, well screw them. They're idiots anyway, right?

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

Played my first 18 holes of golf for this year. I did ok. Had a bit of help from St. Mulligan. I shot a 92. Another 18 tomorrow and Friday. My sister and I are going to help our aging parental units with stuff on Thursday. I've been visiting them often while I'm up in West PA. They're in their 80s and are a bit wobbly, especially Dad. Weather has been perfect so far. Cool nights, warm days. It's nice.

TL;DR. A 750 set and 1,200 minifig Star Wars Lego collection was put on consignment at the Keizer, OR franchise of Bricks&Minifigs. Store changed ownership under dubious circumstances. New owners tried to pretend the collection did not exist. Store lost in OR small claims court and promptly shut down instead of returning the remaining sets. Insert scenes of lots of theater and cops behaving very badly. Now the previous store owners are suing in Utah B&M over the termination. Meanwhile B&M is suing Reckless Ben and others under civil RICO for 'a coordinated' action of harming B&M and stalking. Now B&M is trying to silence Reckless Ben but they are far too late as, to quote Firefly, the signal got out. Now the likes of Asmondgold and Smash JT are covering it.

The Dems are deciding to blow everything up and in the process declaring the most dull, squishy, suburban soccer-mom friendly GOP to be HITLER, but they are the ones who also want to wipe out the Jews and proudly wear the Totenkopf.

B&M has managed to tank their image over what is about $200k in Lego sets. I have seen estimates of $15 mil to $400 mil as to the value of B&M as a whole. Local B&M franchises are getting hammered.

I'd like an omelette, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast. No mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress: A number two. Chicken salad sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else? Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.

Healthcare update USA: while anything is better than the UK or Canada, the hesitation for antibiotics is unreal. Twice I could have used them WAY before they finally gave me one in the past two years for sinus stuff.
Today our 9mo old baby girl had a urine test and chest x-ray (no pneumonia) for fever and vomiting since Friday. We still don't know what is wrong with her. I suppose it could be viral. However, her urine test, if it were mine for example, would be a UTI. I guess she may have to suffer for another day for an antibiotic and the 1st culture. Wth? Cloudy, tr RBC, I forget how many WBC, +1 protein is not normal. Granted, a small boy sneezed right in her sweet face on a plane on Wed evening, so there's that. This sweetie has been sick off and on for a month and I am going to have her for a few weeks before their next trip. We all could be dead by then. Meanwhile there are two Mexicans cutting a large dead aspen across the street and don't seem to know what they are doing. Not complaining, it's just how the last six weeks have gone.

Evening, Cafe peoples,
'Tis the end of an odd day, and I'm yawning and ready to hit the pillow soon. The Bekins guy came by this morning to video my apartment and its furniture. They estimate about $4500 if I have them pack some of the stuff; if not, it would be less, and the actual weight could change the calculation too. Compared to loading a truck myself, even with the help of some hired labor, I think it might be worth while to let them pack certain things. Otherwise, I'm off to the eyeglass place tomorrow to see about getting some driving glasses; and the home inspection is supposed to occur on Thursday. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 02, 2026 10:10 PM (wzUl9) Primary Results ThreadCorrection: NY's primaries are on June 23, not tonight. Dan Goldman will not be booted out for another three weeks, alas. Another big race: In New Jersey, the Blind Sheikh's lawyer and character witness, and member of an Al Qaeda front group, and the man who claimed there were no tunnels under the hospital he worked at (despite a Hamas commander being killed in those tunnels, will probably win. Democrats also have a big primary in the solidly blue 12th District, where Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman is retiring. A whopping 13 candidates are on the ballot. The frontrunner is plastic surgeon Adam Hamawy, a progressive former Army physician who saved the life of now-Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois in Iraq (she's endorsed him). He leads the field with $1.0 million raised and has benefited from $1.6 million in outside support from American Priorities, a super PAC that supports progressive Democrats who are critical of Israel. Still, the Egyptian-born Hamawy has attracted scrutiny over some connections from his past. This includes volunteering for a medical association in Bosnia in the mid-1990s that later was found to have ties to Al-Qaida, and a relationship with Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as "The Blind Sheikh," who was convicted for his role in the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. I don't think I'll be posting much so check in with Ed Morrissey for more coverage. In California, of course, we'll see the primaries for LA mayor and CA governor. The current top three candidates for governor are Obama/Biden corrupt non-entity Xavier Bercera, Republican Steve Hilton (that British populist who used to appear on Fox News), and evil billionaire lunatic Tom Steyr. I sure hope that Republican sheriff Chad Bianco can pull head so we can have two Republicans in the general, but I doubt it. In the mayor's race, polling has it Basura first, Pratt second, and Nithya Raman third. Pratt has to hold on to second to make it to the general, and we also don't want Basura to get more than 50% of the "votes," because then she wins the contest without having to go the general. Decision Desk's twitter account. Update: You're not going to believe this, but another Zohran Mamdani-endorsed congressional candidate turns out to be a communist. CNN:

My neighbor came over awhile ago and was on fire. He went to vote and was told he couldn't vote because he had a Trump 2024 shirt on. Some states do not allow you to wear political clothing but from what I can tell, SD you can wear whatever you want. He loves confrontation so I suspect this isn't over.............

323 284 I don't know how the LA Mayor election works. Can Spencer Platt win outright in this election, or do we get to continue getting his campaign ads poking fun at Karen Bass-ackwards until a later election? Posted by: Hour of the Wolf at June 02, 2026 07:38 PM (qx7Zg) In theory yes; in practice no. I believe that he would have to break 50% in order to win outright, and he's polling under 25% in the multi-candidate matchup. If anyone wins in this first ballot, it would be from the fraud machine putting Basura over the top.

This seems like a good place for "Orson's Time Traveling Theory".
Theory: We keep hearing the rationalization that no one will ever be able to time travel, because surely we would have stumbled across a time traveler from the future by now (and let's leave physics out of this. I know it is supposed that time travel can only be to the future, and not the past). So, my theory is that you can witness time travelers in real time at any major event if you are observant and look for them specifically. Human nature is to pick out a spectacle to view. However, during such an event, the last thing on your mind is looking for such travelers. Ignore the two planes hitting the tower and watch that guy over on the street corner with the weird hat and bellbottoms (future quartermasters suck). Ignore the wave of molasses and pay attention to the guy that with the little row boat on Charter Str. holding a pancake in his hand. Posted by: Orson at June 02, 2026 07:57 PM (dIske) 40

Posted by: Aetius451AD ===== You should see the 9mm v. 45 ACP arguments or girls versus boys. In my case and my area, there is a massive spike in batshit crazy behavior, horrible THC intoxicated driving, and synthetic THC drugs sold over the counter as 'hemp'. Police have given up enforcing laws against it as 'hemp' was legalized and promptly the TBD laced became THC laced instead. I also have seen and known artisans that cannot hire young people without them having serious issues with gas station heroin, gummy THCs, etc. And I think it is spurring murders, etc. This is not the dope of yore with low THC levels but really powerful stuff being sold either natural via plant breeding or synthetic. And I think it is going to get worse before it gets better--each generation has to be burned in order to be a lesson to the newest generation coming up.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon In days of yore, it used to be the liquor store. But neither are particularly helpful and I think THC is far more psychoactive than we have been led to believe which risks mental issues--alcohol can soak the brain but it takes a long time to pickle it. Most die horribly of other problems like cirrhosis of the liver or other things first. But I think psychoactive drugs have the risk of permanently rewiring the brain, perhaps in some cases for the better, but many for the worse. And I think it is particularly bad for young people as their brains are still growing in young adulthood that alcohol simply does not affect in the same way.

7-OH (formally known as 7-hydroxymitragynine) is a chemical compound that naturally occurs in low levels in the kratom plant. Isolated or concentrated forms of 7-OH – such as those found in tablets, capsules, shots and liquid extracts – present significant risks. Concentrated forms of 7-OH are 13 times more potent than morphine, according to the FDA, and may lead to seizures, substance abuse disorder, withdrawal, overdose, and even death. 7-OH products are often falsely marketed as natural kratom, though they contain enhanced levels of lab-created or synthesized substances. These products are engineered to be addictive, and they are often designed to look like everyday candies, gummies, and even ice cream cones in an attempt to appeal to teens and young adults.

The Dangers of Tianeptine: Understanding “Gas Station Heroin” The FDA and numerous state health agencies are increasingly warning about the dangers of tianeptine, commonly referred to as “gas station heroin.” This substance is being illegally sold in various outlets such as smoke shops, convenience stores, gas stations, and online platforms under misleading labels like dietary supplements, research chemicals, or brain enhancers. Some of the prevalent brand names for tianeptine include ZaZa, Pegasus, Neptune’s Fix, and Tianna Red. Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 08:25 PM (E4rtv) 106

Dave Limp, the unfortunately named CEO of Blue Origin posted an optimistic sounding update on Bezos' Big Boom at LC-36. He says the tank farm is good, water tower good, and the umbilical tower can be repaired in place. The transporter-erector is gone, but he says they're moving to a "vertical conop", which means vertical concept of operations -- they're going to stack the rockets vertically and transport to pad that way, apparently. He says they'll be flying again before the end of the year. We'll see. Still no word on the cause of that explosion.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia ======= The People's Liberation Army. They told Mao ditch the yutes and the Gang of Four or be deposed. And they had the guns and people to do it. Mao crumbled and his wife plus the other members of the gang of four were swept out of power and you got the old PLA comrades of Mao come back into power--Chou En Lai, who then brought back Deng Tsao Ping, etc. It probably helped that China and USSR nearly came to the USSR launching a nuclear attack on China for being batshit crazy during the Amur River crisis. USSR asked us if it was okay to nuke China through back channels which is what started the Nixon administration to try to woo China for that and Vietnam.

We got some “Pimp Grade Maeng Da” (supposedly the most powerful processed kratom money can buy) to see if it helped the knee pain. He tried it and saud it didn’t really help, That could be because he got tolerance from all the painkilkers he took, though. A lot of people use it for pain management and swear by it. It’s also good for ex-heroin addicts who are trying to tamp down urges. You could try some and see if it helps.

At the latest stages of the Cultural Revolution, in 1975, Zhou pushed for the "Four Modernizations" in order to undo the damage caused by Mao's policies.
And that was the beginning of the end of the Gang of Four. Zhou was dying of bladder cancer and preceded Mao's death but the pathway and successor to Mao was not going to the Red Guard and the associated Gang of Four. Mao died and Huo Guofeng got rid to the Gang formally but their power was shriveling as the olds came back to power in key positions from political Siberia.

Posted by: Oldcat ====== We are seeing natural THC levels at 18-20-30 percent compared with the 3-8 percent of yore in 70's marijuana. Synthetic or spiked natural products like gummies, vaping extract, etc. are even higher. Cannabis concentrates represent the highest THC level products, typically containing 60% to 90% THC. And are responsible for the bulk of emergency room THC poisoning cases, Like in Colorado, "Emergency room visits for marijuana-related issues rose three-fold between 2012 and 2016, with edibles causing disproportionate adverse reactions despite comprising less than 1% of total THC sales."

Posted by: Aetius451AD ====== During my various surgeries and accidents, I am well acquainted with opiods. Frankly I don't care for them. I take them as prescribed and finish the prescription and don't get a second one. For things like knee surgery and the immediate need for rehab, they are a necessary evil but I don't like feeling like I don't care whether I am alive or dead. I got Dilaudid after crushing my knee cap in a fall from the ER. Don't care for it, makes me nauseous. Had morphine drips in hospital for knee surgery, don't care for it, destroys my personality into a flat affect, had oxycontin, gives me an excruciating headache and nausea. Told docs I was allergic to it. Substitued vicodin, slight relief, but you cannot think on it and it last just enough during sleep that you wake up after 4-5 hours in pain. Had fentanyl for recent spinal surgery, arm and elbow surgeries, etc. It eliminates pain but also thought. So, outside of actual surgery, I find painkillers as a drag--they give you constipation, they cloud your mind, etc. Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 09:05 PM (E4rtv) 171

Posted by: Blonde Morticia The thing is that these Red Guard did not, when grown up, go back to their youth days, because in fact they just wanted to make money by that point like good capitalists did. Our Red Guard today are already wealthy and yet pine to make us all poor. Wealthy people cosplaying as revolutionaries to give their wretched lives some meaning.

Posted by: Aetius451AD Acute pain like kidney stones need treatment. But taking them for chronic pain is like putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger. I have chronic pain due to arthritic damage from inflammatory arthritis. Major joints are deteriorated, nerves got pinched by bone spurring, etc. My conclusion is better to just live with it and use heat, ice, stretching, pt, movement, and sleep as best as you can. Beats whatever the chemists cook up in the long run plus much less side effects. Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 09:12 PM (E4rtv) 174

Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 09:05 PM (E4rtv) I'm with you whig. I'm weaning off oxycodone after almost 5 years on it, after multiple back surgeries during that time. I hate it with a passion and have been off for 2 weeks now. The pain is still there but I'd almost rather deal with that than the side-effects of the drug. My biggest regret is getting the surgeries. I think they actually made me worse. Posted by: Chairborne!...Desk From Above! at June 02, 2026 09:15 PM (CNncw) 176

How AI describes Ranked Choice Voting (RCV):
How RCV Works Ranking Candidates: Voters can rank candidates from their most preferred to least preferred. Vote Counting: All first-choice votes are counted initially. If a candidate receives more than 50% of the first-choice votes, they win. If no candidate achieves a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Votes for the eliminated candidate are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on the voters' next preferences. This process continues until a candidate secures a majority. Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at June 02, 2026 10:00 PM (l3cgK) 187
So RCV means if you have one Rep and 2 dems, and the Rep gets 49.99% of the vote a Dem will probably win...

Polls will close momentarily here in California.
One disheartening thing for Republicans is that the Party couldn't come up with recommended candidates for some offices. CalMatters was one of the better sources of briefs on leading candidates for some of these offices. And of course, 61 candidates for governor was kind of entertaining during the voting process.

Schumer would only say that the Democrats are going to beat Susan Collins. "I met with Graham Platner today," Schumer told reporters at his weekly news conference. "We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate."He also re-stated his endorsement of the Nazi. NC Research All the other Nazis are lining up behind their bearded beflanneled Reinhard Heydrich. By the way, I'm not going to be covering the California mayoral and gubernatorial elections tonight. California may take weeks to " " " count " " " the " " " votes. " " " They need to figure out how many they need to manufacture and then manufacture them. Democrats really enjoy "winning" "elections" in the 5th Quarter. The Police-Assisted Race Murder continues to cause controversy, for some reason. Cathy Newman, who was exposed for her low-IQ hackery by Jordan Peterson ("so you're saying women are lobsters..."), doesn't understand why anyone would feel "rage" at the murder of Henry Nowak. When asked what emotion she feels, she won't answer, and insists that she is the one doing the interviewing. But when her interview subject makes points she doesn't want made, she repeatedly interrupts him and now changes the nature of the discussion: Now it's not that she's interviewing him, so his words should be the star. Now they're having a conversation, and she should get to make all the political points she wants to make.
Matt GoodwinThere are many such posts on Twitter, pointing out that leftists declared that it was good to be angry -- and justifiable to riot -- after George Floyd committed suicide by eating all of the drug evidence against him now saying that people just need to accept that their lives are subject to the whim of whatever orc feels aggrieved today.

I had to bug out and prepare lunch but I am back with a thought.
When I first heard the rivers of blood speech, I was surprised that Enoch Powell said something about how the young in England see no hope for the future and many plan to emigrate. Surprised because things were not so bad back then, but maybe in mill towns (where he was mostly talking about) it was already very bad. Many paki's imported as cheap mill labor. (the left made it all about "blacks" and the windrush 1000 or so and racism, not the 10s of thousands of pakis and cheap labor. In grad school I knew a few expats and I was even then surprised (80s) that many said there was no future and no upward mobility in UK. To become better than what you are born, you have to emigrate. Yesterday JJ links had an item that Britain got 1M migrants and 600K citizens leaving just last year! Decades of that, and mostly all that are left are serfs. All is lost.

Behind Bass and the other Democrat. I will not be surprised if Bass officially gets more than 50 per percent. Then there will not be a subsequent election in November; Bass will be elected mayor in today's jungle primary. It's the safest course for the Democrats.

And then the rigged their party *from* having a primary doubling-down on Joe in 2024, until he utterly collapsed like we suspected he would, and then they crane-lifted Kamala who hadn't won a primary, and on and on it goes.

We could otherwise consider it the death-rattle of a party how they have a chain of incidents where they are forced into decisions.
Now, well we have to run Platner because--vetting be fucked! And we have to have somebody with some semblance of testosterone-which again--the elite Dems pretty much despise. Posted by: Axeman ======= Democrats are simply an organized crime syndicate designed to capture government to rob it with patsy front men while the ones behind the scenes make bank from fraud and cronyism. They use commie philosophy and commie rhetoric to hide behind and rally their mentally defective storm troopers but these assholes running the Dem party don't believe in anything other than getting paid. Same with their gimmedat faction that is fine with white libs trooning their kids, having no kids, etc. as long as the gimmedats get their fraud from Uncle Sam. And the cosplay college factions are a bunch of loser lunatics that want to burn everything to the ground because they have been educated beyond their native intelligence. Same with the asshole foreign college crowd, they want to bring their own country crap with them. So you get a shitshow of a party. Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 07:03 PM (E4rtv) 154
It might be that der Putzkommandant - or his staff - are noting to the DNC that if he's forced off the race after all this dirt which is now public already, the DNC has no leverage anymore. So Platner could just endorse Collins and send his fans over to MAGA.
I suspect a few Platner supporters went to him because they just don't like Collins. A lot of us right here don't like Collins. Posted by: gKWVE at June 02, 2026 07:04 PM (gKWVE) 155

Did Platner actually sext women other than his wife? Or did he only sext minors? Of course the Beltway perverts see nothing wrong with sexting minors and having NAZI deaths head tattoos etc etc. I'm not up with the times, but to me it IS a bit surprising that they don't even care that Platner did not remove the tattoo, and scrub his online history a bit before running for U.S. senator. Seems they either think normies are a minority and can be ignored, or they expect they can cheat enough that normies can be ignored even if they are more than 50% of voters. I hope they are wrong.

Posted by: Dark Lixtiquatal ------ We have had alcohol and learned how to deal with in society since the mists of pre history. Not really true of today's bio engineered THC products. We are essentially running a massive natural experiment how high THC dosages affect people and so far, the data doesn't look good. Kids are getting hold of edibles, you have massive spikes in THC related poisonings in hospitals in places like Colorado, it is killing pets that end up ingesting it. It is a societal problem that too many casual users of pot ignore in order for access to what they want. And the whataboutism is simply boring and tedious by this time. Uneducated kids in public schools, well whatabout parents that homeschool their kids and do nothing with them---etc. etc. We have ran unregulated THC natural experiment long enough to know that it is causing serious problems for society. We already know those relating to alcohol or even opium, not from high THC products. And we should address those problems by regulation just as we do with gas station heroin products at gas stations.

Normalizing vices is the way the Left keeps people poor and dependent.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh Yep. The rich get sent to dry out clinics while the poor get sent to prison from misbehaving under the influence. Poor have no insulation while money buys a lot of lawyers and the ability to payoff people rather than going to jail. Middle class is most likely to get it from both ends, they can afford enough decadence to ruin themselves thoroughly but don't qualify for a lot of safety net benefits of the truly poor--so they often get a double whammy being launched in the street people class with little or no understanding how those worlds work.

Okay, I did my own research. If we were to airdrop Liberty Starter Kits on Britain (formerly Great), what calibers of Freedom Seeds would be most appropriate? Obviously, you would want ones where you could get more.
Although many police in England are unarmed, what guns they have are fortunately quite standard. They use 9mm pistols, 5.56x45mm carbines, 7.62x51mm sniper rifles, and 12-gauge shotguns. Typical NATO loadout. I was unable to get a clear answer for what might be found in a typical mosque armory, but arrest data indicates that the guns most commonly found on criminals in England and Europe are 9mm pistols, while the most commonly confiscated smuggled guns are AK-47s. I didn't realize 9mm was such a standard for cops and criminals alike, so that makes things easier. Several companies make Pistol-Caliber Carbines that take Glock magazines, which are very common indeed, and that would add accuracy and comfort if you're not concerned with concealability. So that would be my suggestion, if we arm the Native Britons against their alien conquerors and Vichy collaborators, just go 9mm for long and hand Pew Pews alike, and with compatible magazines too.

Typhoid,Polio, Giardia, and Hep A,and Dysentery, were common mass epidemics based on contaminated drinking water.

Posted by: ... ====== Yes which is rather stupid for a product named 'weed' for ease of growth. Greshams law meant that illegal weed was still cheaper than government weed because the costs of production were cheaper. That is not true of distilling which is a pita and somewhat dangerous for unskilled people to do. And homemade wine or beer can often be a frustratingly slow and tedious process to learn enough to make it taste okay. If the court ruling that home distilling is protected activity, I doubt that many people would actually do it versus buying it from the liquor store.

If you drank water in those days, your life would be a lot shorter because of contaminated sources. So people drank booze.
Posted by: whig --------------- I have always been skeptical about this. Lots of 3rd world countries people drink water. There are only a few situations where it is a big problem. (like botfiles or during a typhus outbreak.) I wonder if this is true, or just sounds true. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at June 02, 2026 07:46 PM (cJsXl) 311

Apparently Iran is popping off a few missiles... again. Tousi is live. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at June 02, 2026 07:45 PM (/lPRQ) there is this "U.S. forces successfully defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and conducted self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East, June 2. Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces. Moments earlier, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces shot down three one-way attack drones launched by Iran toward civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters. American forces also conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island. No U.S. personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire" LOL "ceasefire" Posted by: runner at June 02, 2026 07:47 PM (GD0B3) 313

I howled in laughter at tbe idea that people were going to give up their dimebags, or whatever they call it, for the extremely expensive legal stuff.
Posted by: Tammy al-Thor ======= Some probably do, but that is the same for craft beer drinkers versus whatever is cheapest at the liquor store. The mass of the market just wants shit to get them f*cked up. You cannot explain Blatz, Milwaukee's Best (an oxymoron title of course), Colt 45 Malt Liquor, and other nasty concoctions. Same with the cheap generic red or white wines or fortified wine like Night Train. So the mass of people were always going to buy the illegal shit and if caught, how do the cops distinguish between illegal and legal weed. Answer--they can't.

Posted by: Hour of the Wolf at June 02, 2026 07:38 PM (qx7Zg) In theory yes; in practice no.

All that demanded someone lose everything to pay for the masses' demands, and once they had gone that far, they needed to end any counter revolutionary action, and give the mob more spectacular deaths of traitors and enemies to keep them from turning on the government. What ended the Terror was that it started preying on the people with guns and political power who realized they would not be left for later. They were, of course, so smeared by their silence during the Terror, they had no legitimacy in the face of the economic and military collapse. That is when Napoleon came in as first Consul.

London dominates that country too much, much more than DC and NYC do here.
Posted by: Oldcat at June 02, 2026 05:43 PM (8avO+) London only dominates as long as the City of London banking cartels are solvent. Since they do insurance, foreign exchange, US Dollar interest, oil futures and Gold and Silver futures, they have been taking a beating for the last 9 months. Posted by: Kindltot at June 02, 2026 05:55 PM (rbvCR) They have too deep a cultural hit even on the opposition. The US has far more skepticism of the powers that be than the most radical Englander.

Honestly, I don't understand the thinking behind promoting anti-white racism esp in Britain. It becomes a goose/gander situation if violent Racism is suddenly A-Ok. That's how you wind up with a race war. I suppose that's why Starmer & Company are flooding the zone with foreigners. It bends the outcome of such a war against the native Brits.

This shit started with us. Posted by: ace This time before the next presidential election might be our last shot, imho. What's stopping those British citizens from really attacking those police is their core beliefs & upbringing. (That's what is still holding our country together, too.) They're mostly decent at their core, they're in pain, they don't understand how they & theirs really don't matter. (Ditto here.) The British have had huge grooming scandals, how many innocents jailed, senseless stabbings in London & other cities, police deaf to the common British citizen - for how long? If people like them finally break & retaliate, and then turn against & break the police, then it's obvious everyone will be on their own, at least for some period of time. Scary reality.

The founders painted with a not-so-analytic brush. Goodwill comes from God. Thus it is in observation of the need of rulers to have the good of the individual in mind, that prompted letting people speak their minds. To many tyrannical governments over the ages, Locke's principle that the mind cannot be compelled, just meant they would have to kill you or maim you or torture you until you didn't stand in the way. And maybe if they inflicted enough pain, you can at least be compelled to stay out of their way. However, he wrote his Letters to a people professing Christianity, and torturing others for having a different witness. And eventually, we were able to convince that crowd that God perhaps did not want this. Posted by: Axeman at June 02, 2026 06:27 PM (Fi81e) 294

The Hebrew God is integral to Locke's interpretation the first right "Right to Life". (Suck it, Straussians)
You're right to live that a Christian government is duty-bound to recognize is based on your prohibition to do away with yourself. To live until God determines your death. And it made sense to Locke to say that because God does not want you to do away with yourself, the state should have a really good reason to do away with you. ("As a state of war", per Locke). Governments refused to give us these rights for a long time. Heck, Locke only wrote because the commissioned scholar Robert Filmer wrote the Patriarchia which argued "from the Bible" that you were the property of the King. And that God had granted various Biblical figures actual ownership over their siblings and progeny. So the state was full tilt in denying the rights English citizens already assumed to have, to not be possessions. But over time, governments, citing a King's service to God to rule, recognized a right to live, rights of self-determination, etc. It's almost walking-into-walls braindead to argue that you can just as easily synthesize this from any secular, empirical principle.

But atheists have to be free to slouch and kick the can down the road so they kinda-sorta believe in human rights, because that looks on on the buffet table, and no they can't say where specifically they derive the right, but they can believe in a right if it "makes sense".
However, you are only positively describing yourself as somebody who sees value in assessing other lives with value. Unless you're willing and able to tussle with Hume, you can't say where a normative description comes in. So other people are "free" to describe themselves as "I don't really fall for all that rights of man mumbo-jumbo". Posted by: Axeman at June 02, 2026 06:38 PM (Fi81e) 309
