Wisconsin Sheriff Sues Liar for Claiming She Was Detained by ICE for Two Days -- When She Was Actually at a Hotel Getting Spa Treatments
There must be consequences for disinformation and defamation. Isn't that what the self-appointed "Disinformation Experts" told us when they tried to ban Joe Rogan?
Woman claimed she was detained by ICE for two days -- but was actually at hotel getting spa treatments: lawsuit
An Illinois woman who claimed she was detained by ICE for nearly two days was actually relaxing at a hotel getting spa treatments, according to a $1 million defamation suit filed by a county sheriff. US citizen Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi, 28, gained national attention last month when she and a band of supporters -- including Cook County, Ill., Commissioner Kevin Morrison -- publicly insisted she was unlawfully detained by ICE officers for roughly 43 hours. Naqvi claimed that after landing back in the US from a work trip to Turkey on the morning of March 5, she was detained for nearly 30 hours at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, then transferred to another ICE facility in Broadview, Ill., before winding up at Dodge County Jail in Wisconsin. Morrison, who called the Chicago-area native his "best friend's sister," shared questionable screenshots of Naqvi's location at the Juneau, Wisc., jail on Facebook -- and decried the alleged incident during a tense media conference alongside Naqvi's sister March 8. "This is a 28-year-old girl just left on the street by ICE in another state, without her property," the commissioner said. He claimed Naqvi was released from custody in the early hours of March 7, then hitchhiked nine miles to a hotel, where she was met by family. The Department of Homeland Security called the claims "blatantly false" -- and even posted surveillance footage from the airport showing Naqvi entering a secondary inspection zone that morning and leaving around an hour later. "Ms. Naqvi departed CBP within 90 minutes of her arrival to the United States...[she] was not taken into custody or transferred to ICE for detention," DHS wrote in a March 10 X statement. The Dodge County Sheriff's Office also said it had no record of Naqvi ever "being booked, detained, or released" at the local jail.
But Morrison, who is running for a seat in Congress, doubled down -- even accusing the officials of "lying" and "trying to create a cover-up," according to the Wisconsin outlet WISN 12 News. Now Naqvi and Morrison are the subjects of a federal defamation lawsuit filed by Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt on Friday -- as his office released new details of Naqvi's actual actions during the alleged hoax period. "She checked into the Hampton Inn and Suites in Rosemont, Ill., for the entire duration of this alleged event," Schmidt said during a press conference, where he presented a hotel bill and text receipts to illustrate Naqvi's time there. The folio shows Naqvi checked in at the Hampton Inn -- just a 10-minute drive from the airport -- at 1:17 p.m. March 5, while text messages with an unidentified witness over the following days show she enjoyed free food, spa services and trips to the gym. "May I use ur card to order some food" and "going to check out the gym in like 5," read texts from Naqvi to the witness, according to authorities. "May i use your card to pay my spa lady?" another says in screenshots released by the sheriff's office. The witness told cops he also drove Naqvi to a nearby gas station in the early hours of March 7. Surveillance footage taken from that outing revealed Naqvi brazenly wearing the same clothes that she's later seen sporting in a "reunited" picture uploaded to Facebook just hours later, according to the sheriff's office. ... Though Wisconsin authorities were not able to bring criminal charges in this case, Schmidt is seeking justice through the lawsuit, officials said. Schmidt is requesting a jury trial and seeking damages no less than $1 million per defendant -- including 10 "John Does" -- who he said caused "reputational harm...particularly as he prepares for a re-election campaign in 2026."

The media promoted the hell out of this hoax, and now attempts to walk back the story by calling her a "Troubled Woman" who can't, you know, be held accountable for her actions. Seems like they should have told us she was a "Troubled Women" when she made her hoax clams.

I did not know Hampton Inn had spa services, so I learned that as well.

It's my understanding that the value of the OPT is its ability to feed into H1-B.
The path is OPT - H1-B - Green Card.
With H1-B new issuances down 90%, the pipeline from OPT to any other visa is broken.
But, remember, people were saying Trump wasn't doing anything about it for a year. They were trying to drive wedges into the base specifically about this issue.
Why would they do that when there was a 90% drop in new H1-B's?

I can’t believe more people don’t know about this crazy rabbit hole. This girl ruined people’s lives when she was a senior at uiuc and got caught and was expelled. Now she’s back at it again.
• falsely accused of a professor of sexual harassment; he lost his job and is now suing the university
• multiple attempts to ruin ex boyfriend 1’s life. (1) held him at knifepoint with her roommate to get him to delete files proving her professor accusation was false (2) catfished the ex boyfriend 1 to meet in a spot and then filed a sexual assault against him (he didn’t even meet her); police ended up proving she’s lying and she got probation for two years. (3) filed that her car was stolen (heavily hinted ex boyfriend 1 did it) and had ex boyfriend 2 drive her around town looking for it. During that time her roommate broke into ex boyfriend 2’s apt and broke his laptop (trying to frame ex boyfriend 1)
• got expelled from the university right before graduation
Her trip to Turkey was for an undisclosed medical procedure funded by her boyfriend...

The sheriff said the ex-boyfriend told him he gave Naqvi about $25,000 over a matter of weeks, including for her flight to Turkey. He also said that the ex-boyfriend knew that she was not detained by the ICE but later joined the 'false narrative' of the family.
Naqvi does not have a clean record as she was convicted of lying about being the victim of a sexual assault. Naqvi has also been evicted twice in recent years, Cook County court records show. "In 2024, a River North apartment complex said she owed over $43,000 in rent and fees. Around the same time, JP Morgan said she owed nearly $15,000 in unpaid credit card debt."

Per Grok-
Public records from 2019-2020 show Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi (then a UIUC student) made sexual harassment allegations against Professor Joe Petry that the university investigated and deemed not credible, linking them to blackmail for a grade and money. She faced felony charges including intimidation, aggravated unlawful restraint, residential burglary, and criminal damage to property tied to incidents with two ex-boyfriends (threats to delete evidence, break-in, property destruction, false reports causing one ex's arrest). A stalking no-contact order was issued against her re: the professor. Most charges were acquitted or dismissed; roommate was convicted on related counts.

The world views us in the United States as lottery winners and it is unfair to the rest of the world that we don't want to share our wealth and citizenship with them. To a lesser degree, the same about Israel.
You see complaints from other nations that they don't get to vote on American politicians for example: "Your policies affect us so it is only fair that the whole world gets to vote on them".

The Trump administration has started stripping naturalized citizens of citizenship when caught for criminal activity. It's just a handful so far, but I suspect that it'll just grow with time. Hiring new lawyers to replace the literal hundreds who quit in the DOJ slowed the start of all of this action like people wouldn't believe.
This lady could be the next example, especially since she created a bad narrative to ICE and Stephen Miller takes that sort of shit personally.

I'm never comfortable with the "G-d will sort them out" line of reasoning. Establishment and conduct of Courts is repeatedly and exhaustively outlined in Torah. It constitutes a large portion of the document, across several books. My Torah portion (Shofetim) for my bar mitzvah was one such passage. Even the very vague Noahide Laws for gentiles demand establishment of at least some functional, impartial earthly court system.
I think if G-d meant for us to just shrug it off and let him handle everything, there would have been words in Hebrew and Aramaic for "Inshallah."

Fading into Irrelevance or Scurrying for Cover? [Seamus Muldoon]
Chris Bray at The Federalist:
California Is Trying To Save The Pediatric Trans Industry Because It’s Dying In this April 7, 2026 piece, Bray posits that the retrenching, pausing or shuttering of children's hospital gender clinics in response to federal and legal pressure signals the demise of the transgender fad. Let's take a look at that premise. Becker's Hospital Review gives a brief summary of the current status here: Hospitals and gender care for minors: Where things stand In December RFK Jt. submitted this comprehensive review of the state of gender programs for children: Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Hospital Condition of Participation: Prohibiting Sex-Rejecting Procedures for ChildrenThis is a Proposed Rule by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on 12/19/2025 which threatens to withhold payments from facilities that continue to offer hormone treatments for gender dysphoria in patients under age 18. Secretary Kennedy is now using the phrase "sex-rejecting procedures" in place of the euphemistic "gender-affirming care". In addition to questioning the pro-trans viewpoint of the American Academy of Pediatrics and WPATH and the Endocrine Society published treatment guidelines, Kennedy cites trends in England and Europe spearheaded by the Cass Review that are questioning the supposed benefits of hormones and transsexual surgeries. This rule is now being litigated. In addition to the proposed HHS rule, CHCO has been referred for investigation by the HHS Inspector General. The Colorado Sun (1/2/26):
Children’s Hospital Colorado has suspended gender-affirming care for transgender youth amid a new federal investigation Along with other children's hospitals and 18 state AGs, Children's Hospital Colorado (CHCO) is mounting legal challenges to the proposed rule by HHS that threatens suspension of ALL Medicaid and Medicare payments to CHCO across the board for ALL patients. Since more than half of CHCO's overall patient population is funded by Medicaid, this would be a massive hit to CHCO's funding and CHCO has temporarily backed off...for now. Although CHCO has suspended writing prescriptions for puberty blockers and cross-gender hormones, they signal via their TRUE Center for Gender Diversity that they are fighting the HHS proposed rule and offer encouragement that these services may be available at some point in the future. From the TRUE Center's home page:
At this time, the TRUE Center is not able to offer prescriptions for medical gender-affirming care for patients under the age of 18 years. Patients and families can meet with medical experts to obtain comprehensive medical education about treatment options that patients may seek in the future.So, it appears that the TRUE Center is being cagey about their intentions and that their suspension of hormone prescriptions is merely a dodge to protect the CHCO mothership from stiff financial penalties They are rabid zealots and Gender-Affirming Care is still their top priority and ultimate goal. They clearly hope the legal challenges will fall in their favor, allowing them to resume what I prefer to call Delusion-Affirming Abuse. They are not suspending the prescriptions because of principle or a willingness to reconsider the deeper implications of these life-altering drugs. No, they are pausing while behind the scenes they are strategically regrouping and doubling down on their core beliefs. I suspect that Bray's assessment of the pending demise of childhood transgender programs is premature. The reaction of the transgender zealots is more akin to cockroaches scurrying for cover when the kitchen light is turned on. For each one you see, there are a hundred laying in wait. One additional point. Let us not forget that with the passage of Obamacare, the Secretary of HHS was granted broad purview over all aspects of the federal healthcare system, including Medicare and Medicaid Rules. "The Secretary shall...this" and "The Secretary shall...that" are peppered throughout the Affordable Care Act, leaving HHS in charge of the nuts and bolts of implementing O-care. That stands in stark contrast to the current Democrat-led litigation seeking to micromanage the current Secretary's application of the same authority simply because it threatens the zealots' pet programs.

The real story is that dysphoria has multiple causes. The 5 year old is statistically likely to turn out gay, and will lose their dysphoria if accepted as such. The 37 year old most likely has autogynephila and their dysphoria developed from their fetish. A 13 year old girl suddenly having it is likely reacting to the discomfort of puberty and/or autism combined with social influence. Only a small portion have dysphoria because of some biological reason.
"dysphoria developed from their fetish." see also Wachoski Bros
So what do we do about the ones who actually *do* have persistent gender dysphoria? Are they chopped liver?
This issue was used by many of its supporters as a form of lib coal-rolling. Changing the brain chemistry of children to own the chuds is truly evil idpol.
Almost all gender affirming care in the US for minors is reversible. For those who did receive surgery, its almost exclusively concerns the chest.

Nobody can be so insanely stupid to believe this. Not even these Reddit mutants.
It's not even theoretical. There are dozens of actual young men and women who underwent various stages of transitioning, later realized it was a yuge mistake, and then de-transitioned.
You can take one look at them and see it ain't even remotely reversible. Even non-invasive surgery. If you take the hormones and then decide to go back, you end up clearly and visibly stuck in an area "between" genders. You look like a mutant.

I had to cut that insane response short, actually, to get a better sampling of responses, but here it is in full:
Almost all gender affirming care in the US for minors is reversible. For those who did receive surgery, its almost exclusively concerns the chest. And even then, almost all cases of minors receiving surgery it concerns 15-18 year olds.
And even then, for the extremely miniscule amount of minors who do receive surgery, they arent just pushed to be trans. Irrespective of your thoughts on the matter, its a lie that they're just put on the chopping board without consultation.
Not to dismiss the fact minors, undoubtedly, have had surgery and would latter come to regret it. But like, the actual number of cases that this is the case is miniscule.

Understanding and embracing one's gender identity is an important journey for children, adolescents and their families. At the TRUE Center for Gender Diversity, we’re here to support you and your family along the journey. This is a safe space.
TRUE stands for Trust, Respect, Understand, Emerge.
Two things to note about this intro to the TRUE Center webpage.
1.) The irony of using the word TRUE for a program that is entirely based on a provably false premise, that is the idea that a boy can be turned into a girl and vice versa.
2. The 'E' stands for 'emerge'. This once again signals the end goal, that every child who enters the TRUE Center will emerge, like a butterfly from a cocoon as something other than their biological sex. ALL patients are encouraged or groomed to follow through.

I almost believed it, but I checked.
vultures can easily digest cooked meat. Their digestive system is extraordinarily robust and far exceeds what's needed for ordinary meat, whether raw, rotting, or cooked.
Why Their Digestion Handles It So Well
Vultures have some of the strongest stomach acids in the animal kingdom, with a gastric pH often around 1 or even slightly above 0—comparable to or stronger than battery acid and roughly 10–100 times more acidic than a human stomach .
This extreme acidity:
Rapidly breaks down proteins, tissues, and even bones (bearded vultures can dissolve large bones in about 24 hours).
Kills off a wide range of harmful bacteria, toxins, and pathogens that would sicken or kill most other animals, including anthrax, botulism, rabies, salmonella, cholera, and more.
Thoroughly digests the meat, sometimes even destroying the prey's DNA in the process.
Their gut also hosts specialized bacteria that help further break down flesh while the vultures tolerate (or even benefit from) them. Cooked meat is generally less challenging for them than what they normally eat:

Reports say well over 12,000 surgeries per year. Which means it's at least double that, if not triple.
I assume men getting boob jobs is not tracked as "gender" surgery as the boob job is so common it barely registers as anything special.

I wouldn't put abolitionists on the same level as people who want to "fake" transgender their children or suffragettes for that matter. The Lord knows that every woman who votes is not taking her children to the transgender clinic, nor is every voting male immune to crazy left wing ideas.

I agree with the Pope that this is an unjust war.
A war started by the barbaric followers of a bloodthirsty lustful 7th century warlord and their temporary commie allies 47 years ago. The US started Epic Fury with the goal of finally ending this unjust war. So I'm praying for its success in achieving this goal. Maybe the Pope is praying instead that the US taxpayer send pallets of cash to delay the end of the war, cash that the mullahs will use to terrorize their neighbors and restart their nuclear weapons program.

This Pope is a fraud. A true Pope would be calling for a Crusade against islam. I would settle for a simple Papal declaration, that wherever in the world islam raises its hand against those of other faiths, that Christians slap them down hard, and kill as many muslims as it takes to stop their assaults.

The whole effort is a crazy play on the part of the left-leaning Church hierarchy to undo the rightward shift in the Catholic laity over the past few years.
Catholic vote was generally 50/50 for decades. Then, in 2024, it's 56-44 Republican.
Combine that with Catholic Charities getting its last decade of easy cash flow cut off with the ending of the NGO era in immigration, and you've got a leadership that's established itself in one paradigm watching the paradigm fall apart while its flock shifts politically under its feet.
This if flailing. It will work with the dedicated Democrat partisans in the laity but almost no one else.
I mean...Trump was talking shit to Francis in the lead up to 2024 when Trump won more Catholic votes than any Republican in history.

we know what the Church hierarchy is like. Criticizing them will not upset any Catholics who don't work for them.
case in point - after the gay cleric young boy attack thing came out, you know what the main change was for us normie Catholics? the RCC response here in the US?
to make it impossible for parents to even ENTER the schools. at all. I had to get all these clearances, as if I - or any parent - had been involved. and EVEN THEN I wasn't allowed in anymore except for very specific situations. so no more lunch/recess parents, no more parents reading to the littles, we were blocked.

It isn't minuscule to the people whose bodies have been chopped up. But again, to the left, life means nothing. They are all about "quality of life" when they get to pass judgment on people they deem inferior, as in, say, Down Syndrome people. Yeah, those babies deserve to die, because "quality of life" dontcha know.
These people, children, adults, whomever, who have been sucked into this trannie system, are damaged for life. But hey, eggs, omelets.

I assume the Irish vote of no confidence follows the same rules as the English.
It wouldn't just mean a new government to form, but a new Parliament as well. Snap elections.
Snap elections now would probably sweep a whole lot of people out of power.

Sad, the need for organizational maintenance and protection often override the core task of messages of faith.
Happens to all sects of Christianity more or less.
Once you have employees, facilities, and missions, then the organization seeks to protect and expand that.

Her husband John Bowes seems to have been awesome. He was a son of an earl but illegitimate - a "natural son" or a "fitz" rather than a bastard per se, but still couldn't inherit. So he went and bought a peerage from San Marino ... for Josephine. Also collected art which he was going to put in a museum in her honor, or should I say "honour".

GatewayPundit has Swalwell living the life of Hunter.
Disgraced California Rep. Eric Swalwell was caught on video looking completely bleary-eyed and wearing nothing but a robe while partying with a rotating crew of young “yacht girls” during a luxury blowout off the coast of St. Tropez.
According to a report from New York Post’s Page Six, the video shows Swalwell aboard a luxury yacht surrounded by a group of young women, described by sources as a rotating cast of mostly British and American guests, during what insiders called a “hush-hush” getaway.
The video was shared on Instagram by Nik Richie, CEO of Warrior Network Agency, a full-service public relations and marketing firm based in Newport Beach, California.
Sources familiar with the trip told the news outlet that the week-long excursion was alcohol-fueled and chaotic, with jet skiing, partying, and a constant flow of guests cycling on and off the vessel

There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
There’ll be love and laughter
And peace ever after
Tomorrow, when the world is free
I'll never forget the people I met
Braving those angry skies.
I remember well as the shadows fell
The light of hope in their eyes

Very hopeful, for 1941...

There once was a gay Irish Rover
Who gave his mate a 4-leaf clover
They were two lonely men
Who can't remember where or when
They're not sure, but it might have been Dover...

Iran's entire oil industry is roughly 2 million barrels a day. That mostly goes to China. It's about 10% of the daily export from the Persian Gulf in general and about 2% of the total oil market globally.
We've had weeks now of diverting oil away from the Persian Gulf in general, and then a blockade of Iranian imports and exports all of a sudden that's designed to allow Saudi, UAE, and Omani oil exports on the sea again.
And American oil is mostly benefiting from this with increased business.
Threatening the strait was one thing. Actually trying to exert influence over it was idiotic and suicidal on the IRGC's part.

Yes, the UK is deploying minesweepers and anti-drone systems to the Strait of Hormuz to help reopen the vital waterway, according to reports. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has clarified that these assets will assist in clearing mines and protecting commercial shipping, but the UK will not join the US-led blockade of Iranian ports.

Justice Alito just exposed the insanity behind unlimited birthright citizenship.
During Supreme Court arguments, Alito cut right through the nonsense and raised the question the open-borders crowd never wants to answer:
If someone can enter the United States illegally, have a child here, and that child is automatically handed full American citizenship, then who really controls who becomes a citizen?
The American people — or the people who break our laws to get here? That is the scam at the center of this entire debate.
This is not some harmless legal technicality. It is a direct attack on national sovereignty. It is about whether the United States still has the right to decide its own future, or whether the 14th Amendment has been twisted into a loophole that rewards illegal entry and weakens the meaning of citizenship itself. Alito exposed the heart of the problem: in a world of billions of people, just one flight away from American soil, automatic citizenship with no lawful presence, no allegiance, and no real connection to the country turns citizenship into a giveaway.
Cont.

The negotiations are kabuki.
They're designed to convince the world that America isn't being a total bully, giving Europe time to understand with clarity that Iran is not going to negotiate in good faith while we move more resources and munitions into the area.
And there's probably no small part of it than to get 40 or so major leaders of the Iranian government into one place they can be easily tracked from.

I'm still thinking the forms are being followed with the idea of actually passing the Act.
It could have been killed in committee months ago, and the Senate could have put up the BS story about "oh, we couldn't do it," had a bad news cycle, and moved on.
Instead...debate just started up again when the Senate came back.
Why? Why drag it out?
I think it's because Thune has to make Collins or Mitch or Tillis happy. One or two of those three (Murk is just gonna be a hard no because she's literally a Democrat), and Thune has to dance with them to make it happen. Collins controls her own future in Maine. Mitch and Tillis are retiring at the end of this Congress. Going through the elongated debate process may be their price.

Absent that, this would have been over by now, but now Thune has to painfully drag out the failure theater, or directly defy the President.

Nah.
"We tried. It failed. Let's think about other things now."
It's tried and tested. Remember, months is forever in politics. Everyone would have moved on.
Instead, the debate continues. That thing people insist needs to happen but act like isn't happening in order to get it passed.
Remember, the SAVE act has 49 cosponsors. It's one vote shy after bypassing cloture. That could be Collins who sits on a throne of skulls in Maine. What if her price really just is, "go through the motions"?
I mean...she did vote for Kavanaugh.

My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.
Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?
Say, remember when that lady claimed that Biden had digitally violated her? And had contemporaneous evidence? Sure glad the Democrats held their own accountable.

Eh, I enjoy the old MGM musicals in their classic period and a few others like How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying.
And something like the Sound of Music is NOT stupid. American in Paris combines dance, music along with art that is well worth watching decades after the prime of the movie musicals. Impressive on a big screen. And so on.
Obviously, YMMV.

The Morning Report --4/ 14 /26
Good morning kids. Hopefully the sudden bizarre formatting bugs over the past couple of days have been ironed out and when this posts you should be free of the black diamonds or other distracting crap and see normal text, so thanks for bearing with it. With that out of the way, let's dive right in. On the latest episode of the podcast linked here
as well as in the sidebar and on the popular platforms noted at the bottom of the post, CBD a nd I took the logical approach in predicting that degenerate sex-pest and dupe/williing confederate of Chi-Com spy Fang Fang Eric Swalwell's departure from the California gubernatorial race would not necessarily affect his political career. Democrat scum criminals (pardon the redundancy) rarely if ever suffer any repercussions from their crimes. And so it comes as kind of a shock that not only has he withdrawn from the race for Sacramento but has actually resigned his House seat.
“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make,” he said.Absolutely galling if not completely unsurprising is his hollow remonstration that these are "false allegations" even as he calls it quits in not only the governor's race but in ankling from Congress itself! Well, hell, if he's innocent then why head for the emergency exit?! Despite the fact that he's not only a Democrat but a California Democrat, which in theory should've made him utterly invulnerable; there have been musings over the past few weeks that California may not be so ironclad Democrat, and with their electoral system a hot mess there is even a chance, slim though it may be, that a Republican could win the statehouse or even swipe one or more House seats come November? So maybe there is something that the party bosses fear could be extremely damaging to the Democrats both as the race for the midterms heats up and perhaps longer term and, more crucially for the Leftist movement in general over the longer haul? UPDATE: Swalwell has not actually resigned but only announced his intention to resign. And that day might be tomorrow or the 12th of Never-JJS And elsewhere, although this is not news it nonetheless is absolutely bone-chilling and indicative of the mindset of the Democrat Party and Leftist movement.
“I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong. But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties,” Swalwell added. “Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress. I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th congressional district.” Swalwell dropped out of the California governor’s race on Sunday night, after losing nearly all of his endorsements.
The Department of Justice under former [s0-called quote-unquote[President Joe Biden “withheld evidence” and approved “aggressive arrest tactics” when targeting pro-life defendants — and then slapped them with longer prison sentences than pro-abortion ones, according to an explosive internal review released Tuesday. The DOJ revealed the stunning abuses in a nearly 900-page report after examining more than 700,000 records related to the Biden administration&'s prosecutions under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The 1994 law was passed to protect access to houses of worship, religious institutions, abortion clinics and pregnancy resource centers. But the Biden DOJ was found to have engaged multiple times in “biased enforcement” of it — while also collaborating with and even seeking to fund pro-abortion groups, according to the DOJ Office of Legal Policy report. Emails show the task force, led by civil division trial attorney Sanjay Patel, worked closely with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Feminist Majority Foundation and the National Abortion Federation (NAF) Security Team to initiate investigations and “monitor” pro-life activists — sometimes for years — before requesting arrest warrants and filing charges. In a Nov. 17, 2021, email, before the task force was launched, Patel had already praised NAF’s security director, Michelle Davidson, to colleagues as an “MVP” at “bringing incidents to my attention, often in real-time, which usually result in an investigation/prosecution.” The task force director was not nearly as chummy with defense counsel for one of the first pro-lifers indicted for illegally blocking access to an abortion clinic after the Dobbs decision, writing in a Feb. 22, 2023, email that he didn’t “keep the kind of records” the lawyer requested about the total number of “prosecutions for vandalisms of pregnancy centers. . . . . . The task force director claimed the “main reason” for the public show of force was “in hope of seizing phones” pursuant to search warrants, an Oct. 4, 2022, email disclosed. “I think the unspoken reason is bc the FBI really likes to make arrests,” Patel added. The Biden DOJ also liked to seek higher prison sentences against pro-lifers charged with non-violent FACE Act violations. On average, its prosecutors sought 26.8 months in prison for pro-life defendants, compared with 12.3 months averaged for pro-abortion ones.” . . . Judges also sentenced those pro-lifers at higher rates, 14 months to 3 months. President Trump, on his third day in office, signed pardons for 23 pro-lifers convicted of FACE Act violations under the prior administration, many of whom he said were “elderly” and should not have been prosecuted. Houck was acquitted by a federal jury in January 2023 and later reached a settlement with the Biden DOJ “This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement Tuesday. “No Department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs.”This is as horrible and in some profound ways perhaps worse than assassins' bullets and molotov cocktails. Continuing in that vein the estimable Margot Cleveland who has covered this beat since the beginning.
These new revelations should wake Americans up to how the deep state and a complicit media sought to thwart their electoral will. . . . . .The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence ('HPSCI')released two transcripts Monday morning from the 2019 closed-door interviews of the then-Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, Michael Atkinson. The just-released transcripts reveal new details behind the scheming that led to the first impeachment of Donald Trump.. . ... In addition to all the backdoor scheming between the “whistleblower,” Vindman, Democrats on HPSCI, and, through at best, his willful ignorance, Atkinson, the transcripts released Monday also highlight the politicization of the FBI that continued under Trump 1.0 after Director James Comey’s firing.
Have a great day!

Magyar is praised abroad mainly for his pro-European Union, pro-Ukraine stance, while Orbán has frequently been at odds with the EU and Ukraine, particularly over illegal immigration and the need to secure Hungary’s supply of Russian pipeline oil.

How come ever reform immigration policy is really to just let more in"
It's simple - too many believe that "more people" = "always betterer", and cannot comprehend that populations move and fluctuate.
Witness the worldwide (well, mostly) animus directed at Japan over the past decade.

While not a majority, 40% of those responding said their taxes were either “much higher” (17%) or “somewhat higher” (23%). That compares with 10% who said their taxes were either “somewhat lower” (7%) or “much lower” (3%).
I'm gonna go out on a limb and speculate that the 40% number is based on either people in blue states which have raised the minimum wage or people who think everything is worse because Trump. I speculate thusly because the tax rate brackets remain the same but the levels in which they start has been adjusted for inflation.

Even more troublingly, other researchers say, the fake papers were then cited in peer-reviewed literature. Osmanovic Thunström says this suggests that some researchers are relying on AI-generated references without reading the underlying papers.
The preprints included a reference to the nonexistent Asteria Horizon University in “Nova City, California”. There was also a mention of “Starfleet Academy” (though an additional reference to Dr. Leonard McCoy would have been a nice touch).

so parishes are all sweating bk BUT they spend all their energies on "new arrivals" who NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING. they only cost. at St Agnes most of the congregation is from Latin America, and great whatever, they do not donate at Mass. They go to the school for almost-free and the parish has free daycare for them and a whole building for them to go to get basically anything they need, paid by the parish. We all wondered how this was actually working!?!
now we know! fed dollars paid for this. the parishes were hosting the illegals and getting big bucks from US taxpayers to do so.

What outrages Catholics is the preaching is selective and targeted at people who are conservative.
The Catholic Church sat silently as our ability to worship was stripped from us by Democrat Party authoritarians. They have never publicly gone after Democrats for their positions on abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, propagandizing of children, attacks on the traditional family and many other things that not just sinful, but apostasies to the catholic faith. Sure we have gotten some detached reminders of what the teachings of Christ say about it. But never the full frontal attacks they make on people like Trump or the broad brush attacks just made by the bishops.
People were just starting to come back to the church. I can’t think of a faster way to reverse that than taking up the Democrat Party standard and running with it.

And the oddest part of this is that representative government should make this impossible because in theory even the leftwing FSA types are voting for THEIR OWN personal benefit, not to give the country's wealth to foreigners.
But we are seeing a combination of a mandarin class getting rich off the aid we give to foreigners/illegals/immigrants and massive vote fraud.
The reason that Dems are getting re-elected in districts full of FSA Franks is that FSA Frank stopped voting long ago...but the ballots still come in under his name.

I'd be surprised if she wasn't. There are DC and CA based reporters on X saying they heard talk about Swalwell years ago but didn't report on it. Now it's flooding out. Seems like a coordinated hit by Democrat leadership to get him out of the CA Governors race.

I've got multiple income sources that make my return JUST complicated enough that it's hard to get it done on time (mainly because I am a lazy fuck who hates dealing with this shit), yet not complicated enough that I can justify hiring an accountant. So I usually put it off, and put it off, and put it off, until I'm filing an extension. At least I got it done on April 13 this year, rather than midnight on April 15.

While the return itself can be filed later in the year by filing for an extension, the tax payment for the tax year is due in full by April 15th. No wiggle room. Late payment interest and penalties start on April 16th on any unpaid balance.

Although as seen above, if you have absolutely no money to pay, how can you send any in? This is for those who file an extension because they can't pay. For those with complicated and updated filings, I can understand why they do it. A thousand for a CPA? HR Block doesn't charge that much for a regular return. If it's high income, CPA is probably the way to go.
These are only probable reasons, as I don't do any of them. Never filed for extensions, and only have one income per person in the house. I don't have any experience with the more complicated filings.

Sort of, but not quite. During the tax year itself (Jan 1 2025 - Dec 31 2025 with the final Estimated Tax Payment due by Jan 15 2026) if your tax withholding and estimated tax payments are 90+% of the Total Tax for that tax year, then you've met the "Safe Harbor Rule". You will not get an Estimated Tax Penalty for having too little paid in timely during the tax year.
Making a big catch-up payment with the extension is too late to avoid the Estimated Tax Penalty.
Safe Harbor Rule options:
1. Pay in 100% of the prior year's tax (match or beat 2024's Total Tax in 2025)
2. Pay in 90% of the current year's tax
3. For high income taxpayers, the option 1. percentage becomes 110% (AGI $75K+ for Single filers and $150K+ for MFJ filers)

The California attorney filing the sexual assault case against has depositions (sworn statements) from several victims of his, including former staffers of his. There have been no court cases yet because until now, Swallwell was powerful enough to block any charges from being filed against by anyone. She pushed hard to finally get a civil case into the Courts, and that’s what has broken the dam and allowed this to come tumbling out.
When you look at Swallell’s friendship and activities with Ed Buck, there’s also a good chance that Swallwell is at least an accessory to the murders of two homeless men for sexual reasons.
Swallwell should be doing 30 years in a federal penitentiary. Anything less than that and he gets off easy.

I'm speaking as someone who never got the "vax".
Do not repeat the nonsense in that article. It's a self report database and it seems to be comparing reports of a few week rollout of the vaccine in 2020 (66 cases) to a full year and calling it a "massive" increase. Somehow it makes it seem like there were only 66 miscarriages in 2020 and then 5000 in 2021 which is retarded.
The fetal mortality rate was 7.49 per 1,000 in 1990, 5.70 in 2019, 5.74 in 2020, 5.73 in 2021, and then 5.48 in 2022.
Those are CDC numbers. Maybe they are covering something up because they are liars. But quoting articles like the above or believing them makes us look like stone imbeciles.

That is not a small issue and it is not something politicians can keep ignoring.
Health care fraud does not just waste money.

While Tara Reade became the political & press punching bag in 2020, there had been several other women who complained about his inappropriate touching over the years.

"Abstract: A truth that burst into public view with #MeToo in 2017 was that sexual exploitation in its many forms has been ubiquitous and experienced largely by women. So anyone following the story of #MeToo could hardly find it shocking that, after a promising primary season with a record number of excellent female candidates, the first Presidential election since the movement’s rise has come down to a race between two men who have both been accused of sexual assault.

I'd like to enjoy the sunny weather, but I've got a full-blown cold, with wheezing, congestion and all the trimmings. I've been living on soup, tea and lozenges since Sunday night and I expect this nonsense to last right through the week. Ugh.
I've fallen behind on my writing, so I must get at least a page of my novel done so that I feel I've accomplished something. Of course, I did write my new Book Thread post and sent it to CBD, so that's something, at least.

As with anything you read where there's lots of money involved you have to sift through to find stuff of value. A lot of these people throwing shade are competing against each other.

Monday Overnight Open Thread - April 13, 2026 [scampydog]
The main dome of the observatory houses an 8.25 inch refracting telescope, on a German equatorial mount. The ashes of the astronomer Daniel Walter Morehouse, and those of his wife Myrtle, are interred within the wall of the observatory rotunda.Observatory sits in the middle of Waveland Golf Course, Des Moines, IA. Got a few good pictures of it over the weekend (and one golf ball a bit closer than I'd have liked).
“I get some pretty random commission requests, but when the National Catholic Educational Association contacted me about doing a live butter sculpture during their conference this year, I was interested,” Kulzer said. “After working out the logistics of keeping the butter cool, they decided they wanted a bust of Pope Leo and another butter block carved into their logo.”
Scampywife knows Gerry Kulzer, the sculptor. He is kind enough to share some butter with us on occasion - which is damned good. Here is some additional reading - light history of his journey and work.
What’s it like sculpting something that you know will somehow be used and eventually destroyed? All pottery is meant to be used. So use it. Drink out of it. Eat off the plate. Use that pottery. It’s the same with the butter here, I think. It’s butter. Let’s use it. Take that and use it for what it’s meant for.
It is April 13. For those who have not yet completed their taxes: Are you in a committed relationship with TurboTax? May you have the best of luck with your internet connection, the missing forms that were ‘right there,’ and your race against time. Remember, a good accountant can find humor in depreciation. Looks like people are running behind this year. And/or less tax filers. 2026 returns filed (so far). Link goes to irs.gov. Total returns e-filed through 4/8/2010 were 78.4M, with $61.4B in direct deposit refunds. As of 4/3/2026 98M returns have been e-filed, with $242.8B in direct deposit refunds.
Each year the IRS provides weekly cumulative statistics for returns filed, returns processed and refunds issued during the filing season and then at certain points after the filing season. The statistics compare totals as of Friday compared with the corresponding Friday in the prior year.
Forbes crunched some numbers. Seems the public has, "Where is my money at" on their brains.
While filing activity has been slower, taxpayer engagement has surged. IRS.gov has recorded 435,926,000 visits so far this season, a sharp 58% increase over the same period last year. Taxpayers appear to be checking their refund status more frequently or seeking clarity on tax law changes thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
It's all about the arms. Nanotyrannus: The Tyrannosaur Dwarf Tyrant.
Perhaps the most anatomically decisive feature is the forelimb. Nanotyrannus possesses arms and hands that are absolutely longer than those of T. rex, not just longer in proportion to body size. This distinction is critical: as animals grow, limb bones lengthen—they do not shorten. The hands appear more functional than the famously reduced arms of T. rex, suggesting a greater role in prey handling or stabilization. While still small relative to body size, the forelimbs of Nanotyrannus fit a predator that retained more versatility in its front limbs.A full-size replica would fit nicely in a yard next to the full size T-Rex.
Unexpected / stood out. Was in the Charlotte airport on Easter Sunday, dodging Bloody Marys and Screwdrivers while housing a glazed cinnamon donut, when over the intercom came an announcement for a 10:30 a.m. Catholic Mass in the airport. Looked around for reactions and either everyone was deaf or the easily offended were not around. They repeated the announcement two more times before I boarded my flight - and for a moment, Gate A39 felt almost like holy ground. In that spirit, let’s take a look at some interesting churches and chapels.
Within the modest-looking St. Batholomew's Church (also called the Kaplica Czaszek) are the skulls and bones of over 3,000 people, decorating the ceiling and walls, and arranged in various patterns—mostly in a repeating crossed bones Jolly Roger-style—with another 21,000 skeletons stuffed in the church crypt below. Collected by Czech priest Vaclav Tomasek and J. Langer, the local gravedigger, it took the pair some 18 years, from 1776 to 1794, to collect, clean, and arrange as many as 24,000 human skeletons that pack the church. While the majority of the skeletons are stacked in a 16-foot-deep crypt beneath the church, the rest are beautifully displayed in what Tomasek saw as a "sanctuary of silence."
Now we are talking! Church in Belgrade with chandeliers made out of bullet casings, swords, rifles, and cannon parts.
Some interesting churches in North America.

Moderately amusing news Sheep invade German grocery store. There's a political affiliation joke in here somewhere. Video at the link.
He said he wasn’t entirely sure how they broke from the rest of the flock, but he speculated the group was distracted by acorns on the ground and eventually wandered in the vicinity of the store before spotting someone carrying a tote that resembled one of their feed bags and following them inside.
Golfed with a guy over the weekend that took a Waymo taxi while in Phoenix. Not this one, however.
A Phoenix business owner captured a scary scene involving a Waymo driving on a light rail track with a passenger inside.
Fake Maple Syrup. Scandal. Canada, of course.
Enquête purchased five cans of Bourdeau's syrup at random from different stores and from different batches and took them to the provincial laboratory responsible for testing and assuring quality control for maple syrup in Quebec, le centre ACER, for analysis.
The results were unequivocal. All five cans, each labelled pure maple syrup, contained at least 50 per cent cane sugar.

I intended to do it today, but my horse bucked me off yesterday so I'm taking it easy. Maybe I'll just walk to the mailbox tomorrow and hope for the best. They were paid in good time so the postal stamp on the forms shouldn't matter too much anyway. It annoys me to have to fill out the forms. I'm pretty sure the IRS already has all the information since I'm a standard deduction filer. They should have an option on the w-4 for "standard deduction, just send me the bill or refund"

We watched an unexpected funny movie tonight:
"A Million Ways to Die in the West."
Very rare good cinema for our house. We are far more used to failures.
Of course the professional movie critics were blase, and may they have plague fleas in their nethers.

I've been away from the blog since morning and see I've missed some interesting things, like the business with Gen Z and their anxiety packs. To be fair, Boomers had theirs: We called them "six-packs" or "fifths," or "bottles of Valium or Miltowns." An ice pack and a fan are a lot healthier -- and I guess cheaper than a fifth of even cheap bourbon nowadays.
Anyway! I told Miss Linda about my plan to travel to Kansas this week. She was not feeling well, but I couldn't wait any longer. The silence was deafening and the enthusiasm was about the same as if I'd told her I was returning Stirling to his shelter . . . in fact, she'd have been downright vocal about *that*. Showing her pics of houses in Kansas and the travel brochure with the bison herd? Nothing.
Well. There's nothing I can do about any of that. It is what it is.

First I had heard of it. Maple syrup is not on my usual shopping list, but it is far superior to synthetic syrups made from cane sugar or worse sugars. If you are going to sell an expensive artisanal food product, it damn well better be pure and authentic. IIRC, the State of Kentucky is pretty diligent about preserving the purity of bourbon, too.

There should be no withholding.
All taxes must be paid in cash or check in full.
The date of payment shall be the Thursday prior to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
(The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November is Election Day.)
It puts all of those taxes on you as a single burden - not hidden in your paycheck - and it doesn't work as a forced savings account (expecting to get something back out of what you gave to the gov't). And right before you go into the voting booth in a few days and decide who should be deciding how much you should pay.
Would it suck for all the taxpayers? Yes, that's the point.

The "Revenge" tour of 47 requires that Swalwell be prosecuted on every, single, charge available, and as many as possible at the Federal level. If a vehicle registered to him ever received a parking ticket in front of Federal property, they should look to find what the maximum the charges could be upgraded to.

They're going to try to land on the rim of Shackleton Crater at a near permanent sun-lit peak, and then the hopper is going to jump off into one of the permanent shadowed regions in the crater and look for water in the dirt. The hopper has a little drill on it.

The maximum loan amount for a student is based on the 10 year earning potential of everyone who pursued that major. If the average over the 10 year period, including dropouts, is $500k, the loans are limited to $25k. If it's $1m, the max is $50k. If graduates start at less than 25% over minimum wage, the limit is zero.
The school, college, or university issues the loans. Not guarantees, issues. If the student defaults, the school loses.

Actually no. Friends of mine go all the time, but I never made it to that. The main reason is that up until recently none of my bikes were actually distance bikes. I mean they'll be comfortable, but there isn't any place to pack gear on them, and we never seem to have a chase vehicle either to pile stuff in. I picked up a touring harley 2 years ago for rides like that, so I might actually go this year.

WASHINGTON, DC, Eric Swalwell announced he is resigning from Congress following multiple sexual misconduct and sexual assault allegations, in a statement that landed with the exact grace of a vending machine falling down a flight of stairs.
His press release aimed to strike that classic political balance between “these allegations are false” and “I have made mistakes,” giving readers the rare luxury of watching a PR team perform a three-legged sack race directly into a river.
Witnesses described the rollout as deeply serious, highly emotional, and somehow still written in the tone of a man asking if there’s any way to make this all go away by close of business.
Senior Democrats praised the move as responsible, courageous, and long overdue, since yesterday, which in Washington is usually what you say right before pretending he doesn’t have compromising pictures of you.
At press time, aides were reportedly clearing out Swalwell’s office, including a ring light, one monogrammed coffee mug, and a folder marked “if this leaks, act shocked

Now (retired. - no W2s) I have SS, a bunch of 1099-int from bank accounts and some old insurance policies, 1099-R from IRAs, AND 1099-div. The div income is the only complicated part, but I use Vanguard and Fidelity brokerages, and their end of year documentation spells out qualified and non-qualified. The only part of my taxes that requires any real effort on my part has to do with capital gains.
That said, I've used Free Tax USA for the last three years with no problems. With the forms I get electronically, the program extracts the data, making it even simpler.
It's free for the federal forms and less than $20 for the state.

All in nice shape, but not something you want to scream along on a highway for hours, so they'll be looking to do back roads. Half of them seem to ride from bar to bar. We took an 80 mile ride up to stokes state forest where we rented a cabin for a few days to do some nice roads up there, It's maybe a 2 hour ride from here doing it on back roads, and it took us 5 hours because of all the stops. I think laconia is 335 miles from here. God only knows how long it would take with them.

So, Wolfus & SMH moving, and someone else mentioned recently moving. If anyone happens to think about moving to Oklahoma, I recommend the NE corner which has a touch of the Ozarks. SE Kansas, SW Missouri, and NW Arkansas all part of the beautiful country. If a bit twangy in spots.

I'm just getting started on mine. Was trying to figure out Dad's personal and Dad's trust, he passed away in May 2025. Turns out the acct says with an extension I have till Aug and don't have to pay on either now. Wonder if that's correct but it is a relief.
Ours should be simple enough, though I wonder if the large medical bills might make it better to itemize. The standard deduction is so large now I doubt it's even worth the effort to try.
Thanks for this post Doof. It made me realize I've done my own taxes since I was 16 and that was over 50 yrs ago. They taught us in HS, wonder if they do that today.

Does anyone have a 2500-3500 pickup?
For about $400-500/week, you could rent a 28-30 ft flatbed trailer that you could get 5 or 6 bikes onto. 330 miles is a leisurely 7 hrs.
When I moved, I hauled an ST1100 and a dirt bike along with a jeep on a 26' flatbed.

This Pope is a Cranky Franky acolyte. He bowed down to the Pachamama idol along with Frank and his cohort. Haven't heard word one from him about all the Catholics being slaughtered in Nigeria and other African countries, but boy, let DJT knock off some Muzzie Terrorists and all hell breaks loose in the Vatican.

Studebaker's union problem was that they never took a big strike; always bargained and settled instead, so wound up saddled with some of the highest labor rates in the industry. I don't know if there were any right-to-work States in the early '60's, but if they had packed up and moved to one, they might still be in business as an automaker.

Moore's work with Rick Veitch on Swamp Thing was pretty trippy.
To be fair, Rorshach's persona was Moore's reinterpretation of Steve Ditko's The Question, and echoed (if darkly) Ditko's hard righteous attitude.
(For any unclear on the history, after DC acquired the Charlton comics superdupers, Moore was tapped by DC to write them into the DC universe, but Moore's ideas were so awful, they had him keep the concept but change the whole thing to all-new characters in the standalone Watchmen. Which worked marvelously, so to speak.)

Studebaker was hot, looked hot, performed hot but didn't hang together like Ford or Chevy. There was no customer service back then so it had to be hang time, parts availability (Chevy beat them all), and ease of repair.

Well we got a few trucks and a few bike trailers between us, so thats not a problem. I think its more of a what kind of sad sack flaccid dick mofos who are seasoned riders can't handle a 335 mile ride. These guys have multiple bikes each, and they have ones that can easily do that ride. They're talking about doing sturgis one year, and as someone who did that 10 years in a row I have definite doubts they could handle it. 2-300 mile days out there is not uncommon. I look at Laconia as a test, it will weed out the crowd.

Some years back, there was an Irish group who came here for the local music & arts fest, and driving up from Tulsa they remarked how the low, rolling green hills reminded them of the Emerald Isle. This time of year, when we've had some nice rains and Spring has burst out all over, it's especially so. Under the blistering August sun with some drought, it can be not quite as much so.

Radio played clips of a 1979 interview with Ben Stein promoting his new book. (didn't get the title) the context; he interviewed TV directors, writers, and producers, his conclusion was two fold, these people were completely disassociated from standard America and their programming was shaping America's value perception.

I was never in with the LDR guys, although I knew quite a few. I picked up a SS1000 just to prove to myself I could do (and get the Iron Butt plate holder), but to that crew, anything less than 400 miles was a short day trip, so I sorta snicker at "2-300 mile days". The ST was, of course, set up a lot better than 90% of Harleys for that kind of riding, but I went from Portland to Pgh 4 times over the years, once with the wife on the back, and the longest trip had 4 nights in motels. The shortest was 1 night in Laramie, and 1 in Decatur.
Now, as an official Old Geezer, I have a Spyder, and anything over 100 miles, it goes on the trailer. 2 years ago, I did a 3500 MI loop around the Intermountain west and the Pacific coast.with the trailer+bike. I probably put less than 400 MI on the Spyder. Getting old is a bitch.

Well nothing really happened. I went for a catheterization, they said oh looky, you need surgery, and they sent me to the hospital. I didn't have a heart attack or anything, the heart was fine, there was no event, so I think after I got to the hospital I had my phone, got on the board and said where I was. I don't remember how much I was on here though. I had a killer private room, the building was new so it was like a starship. I had a 60 inch TV that was constantly playing star wars and star trek, so i might have been distracted. Funny story actually. The minute I woke up after surgery my nurse was standing over me and says "we fixed you up, you did great". I said you're done? I don't feel any pain, no shit, that was easy. I looked over and saw the TV and said Oooh star wars is on and started watching. She looked at me and rolled her eyes and shook her head as if to say this fucking guy. lol

I had one for 1 day, and I didn't know I had it. I asked the nurse if I had one because I didn't feel like I had to pee.

No. She had a stroke last month, ( Friday the 13th, no less!) and while it wasn't a catastrophic stroke, the doctors said she needs 24 hour care. She spent a few weeks in the geriatric psych ward along tbe way. Has hallucinations, which is nothing new, and seldom had any idea where she was. Told me she went rollerskating all day, for instance, or had spent all day in the airport. I think this was more about being away ftom home, and not stroke related. She was fine mentally the morning we realized she'd had the stroke. But she always gets confused when she's away from home more than a night or two, especially when I'm not there, and you're not allowed to stay with patients in the psych ward. She's still very confused in the nursing home, and wants to come home and it's breaking my heart. But she can't get up on her own, or walk, and that combined with the hallucinations and confusion is why the hospital wouldn't release her to her home.

That's why NASA went to the Moon. And took too long to do it again. Because you forget how to do important shit if you don't do it now and again.

Posted by: toby928(c) at April 13, 2026 07:58 PM (4NO2D)
The word is derived from haly (holy) and butte (flat fish), for its popularity on Catholic holy days. Halibut are demersal fish and are highly regarded as a food fish as well as a sport fish.
A 2018 cladistic analysis based on genetics and morphology showed that the Greenland halibut diverged from a lineage that gave rise to the Atlantic and Pacific halibuts. The common ancestor of all three diverged from a lineage that gave rise to the genus Verasper, comprising the spotted halibut and barfin flounder.
There are 3 species:
Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus – lives in the North Atlantic.
Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis – lives in the North Pacific Ocean.
Greenland halibut, Reinhardtius hippoglossoides – lives in the cold northern Atlantic, northern Pacific, and Arctic Oceans.

>>>Greenland halibut originally came from the Pacific Ocean and spread into the Arctic Basin when the Bering Strait opened for a second time around 3 million years ago, and thus the Pacific halibut is its closest living relative.

Erdogan wouldn't fucking dare. He's not retarded. Israel would slaughter all his men, it would be for nothing, and it would be utterly humiliating for Turks. Most of them likely don't know this because of his propaganda, but he does, and he knows they would all know it pretty quick too, if he tried anything stupid.
It's a cheesy stunt, like campaigning Republicans promising to stop the Democrats.

Turkey attempting an invasion of Israel would be a slaughter. An attempted airlift would likely be destroyed before entering Israel. Their navy is not (yet) capable of projecting force on this scale. They'd have to enrage every Arab State to do it. It would be a suicidal folly. Erdogan won't do it.

Brim

Sun Fish
Posted by: Harry Vandenburg
I hate arguing, but each of those is a separate fish. Brim, or bream, is generally the red-eared sunfish (I think).
Posted by: MkY
That's my understanding.
Perch = long yellow & green fish. Smaller cousin of the walleye.
Sunfish = round green fish. Several related species. Often called "Bluegill" in MN, even if they aren't bluegills. Bream and Pumpkinseeds are other varieties.
Crappie = round black & white fish. Two related species.

My wife said she's divorcing me for not being a real American. I wasn't really surprised though.
Saw it coming from a kilometer away.
My wife called me at the bar and said if I wasn't home in ten minutes she'd feed the dinner she made to the dog.
I was home in five minutes.
I'd hate to see the dog eat anything of hers.
A polar bear walks into a bar.
He orders a drink.
"I'll have a rum...

And coke."
Bartender asks "OK but why the pause?"
The bear replies, "I was born with them."

Shot in the ass with Prednisone and a script for the pills.
The shot will have noticeable effects with an hour or so.
Save most of the prednisone pills for later.
The purinol works good too. First time you take it usually triggers gout, so they usually give steroids with it when you start it. Cheap stuff (at least my co-pay is like $5 for three months). Don't know why my Doc originally suggested the Prednisone as cheaper until gout becomes a monthly thing.

Eric Swalwell Attempts to Short-Circuit Investigation and Effort to Expel Him, Saying He "Plans" to Resign (No Date Given)
SWALWELL STATEMENT ON CONGRESSIONAL RESIGNATION "I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make. "I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong.But Trump is an Agent of Putin who should resign, right whinybaby?
"But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress. "I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th congressional district."Not that I think he's a sneaky lying conniving little shit or anything, but I think he's claiming he "plans" to resign to cool off the torch-carrying mob. I think he will plan to un-resign if this succeeds in taking off the heat. So: Expel him. Jonathan Turley discusses something I was thinking about. Usually former Democrat politicians are guaranteed either a job in the leftwing propaganda media or a job as a lobbyist or "lawyer" (really just a lobbyist) with a Democrat firm. But is Fartwell going to get that?
ConversationWhen I read Fartwell's compelled apology, I read it as him accepting that this phase of his life is now over and that he's attempting to build a bridge to the next phase, whatever that is. He's done with elective politics, and is apologizing (cynically) to regain some of the public goodwill he'll need to get his next Guaranteed Democrat Position. But is there any amount of goodwill that will get him one of the prized Consolation Jobs in media, fundraising, "consulting," or acting a fixer at a Democrat law firm? The Trump Curse takes another victim. It's more powerful than the curse that protected King Tut's Tomb.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley
In one week, Eric Swalwell was forced to drop out of the California race, put under criminal investigation in New York, and is the subject of a bipartisan expulsion effort. He was even kicked out of the home of a billionaire who was letting him crash. However, that is not all...
...Swalwell is unlikely to avoid expulsion, but he may not have his law degree to fall back on. If these rape and sexual harassment claims are established, he is likely to face disbarment demands. Even his prior boosters at MS NOW and CNN are unlikely to offer him a media deal... ...I will be discussing Swalwell on America Reports today. However, the collapse of Swalwell is accelerating with the opening of what appears to be an expedited House Ethics Committee investigation. ...I have been one of Swalwell's most persistent critics through the years. He has always been shielded by the Democratic establishment and the media. Now, he is persona non grata without a friend in the world.

Swalwell clearly did this for the good of the nation when he would have been well justified to fight these unproven sexual assault and rape allegations by people whose names are being hidden by the media from the bright shining light of Truth. What an absolute stud.
*Snort*
Is it too much to hope that Swalwell gets sued civilly for sexual assault and nailed with a $100 million judgement. That is the standard that was applied to Trump even though his psycho accuser couldn't even remember what year that occured. Imagine the case that could be brought against this POS by his victims who actually know when, where, and how they were sexually assaulted.

See how that works? Credible accusations, denial, then resign. Not if you’re a Republican. Gonzalez won’t resign. His victim only set herself on fire /s 😢
And a smattering of slightly different ones:
Wait, why would he do this? I just read an article over the weekend that said congress was likely going to force him out, but it would have been part of a package deal where 2 dems and 2 republicans were all forced out due to sexual allegations.

There's a local trust fund kid politician in SoCal who's been through this. He ran as a Republican for a Congressional seat, lost in the primary, switched to Independent so he could stay in the race, lost, switched to Democrat so he could -- this is where I get lost, because I can't remember when he switched to Dem.
Anyway, that did the trick because he got into state or local legislature, then got caught in all kinds of vice scandals, resigned and boo-hooed and vowed to do better, went to rehab, and... he's taken the first steps to a comeback. We shall see if he succeeds.
Some people will settle for nothing but political power.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with DeYanna Ostroushko at the Women' March In Minneapolis. DeYanno is an Iranian American whose father immigrated to the United States, and she is also the wife of @mnangryman.
She talked about why it's so important to keep showing up and continuing to speak out, especially right now, and why protecting women's rights, immigrant communities, and reproductive freedom matters so much to her.
DeYanna also shared that she has family in Iran who are scared right now, and that she has lost contact with them as phone and internet communication inside the country has been disrupted.
A powerful reminder of how personal these moments are for many people, and why so many continue to raise their voices and show up.

>Twin Cities Crime Watch & Information
Lorenzo Amadeo Garcia, 20, of St. Cloud, was arrested out at Whipple yesterday during an anti-ICE protest on probable cause obstructing the legal process. Paige Ostroushko, who was captured on camera assaulting TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez, said in a subsequent video that Garcia is her boyfriend.
Videos from the scene showed Garcia obstructing deputies as they tried to detain Paige Ostroushko for questioning following the assault.
ICYMI: The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office indicated they will submit three people for charges in connection to the assault on Hernandez, and indicated Garcia will be charged with "GM obstruction with force" against a deputy.
Garcia was released from custody this morning "pending complaint."

Posted by: garrett at April 13, 2026 06:22 PM (3JuEJ)
IANAL, but AI makes it so easy to look things up, so... just for funsies:
* "Additional relevant federal statutes include 18 U.S.C. § 241 (Conspiracy Against Rights) for agreements to injure or intimidate individuals exercising constitutional rights ..." (There are other kinds of impairment of civil rights that don't apply here, including "under color of law" for gov't authorities, and "hate crimes" affecting interstate commerce.)
* "Federal jurisdiction typically requires the crime to cross state lines, involve interstate commerce, or occur on federal property," and the assault occurred "outside the Whipple ICE Facility (also known as the Whipple Federal Building) in Minneapolis"; so, depending on the precise property line, there could be another nexus for Federal charges there.

Swalwell was taken out by a Democrat(s) because there are too many of them in CA governors jungle primary. Right now 2 Republicans are winning because there are 5 or 6 Democrats splitting the Democrat vote and the top two run for the whole thing.

Quick Hits
In January, Eric Fartwell promised that if he were elected governor, he would strip ICE officers of their California drivers licenses. I guess they're safe for now.
The first Star Wars movie to be released in nearly seven years, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is tracking for a low opening weekend. It's projected to take in a mere $71 million over the three-day Memorial Day weekend frame. (I learned the term "frame" from these stupid box office reports and wanted to use it so that I sound smart.) Headcase Ruby Rose claims that Katy Perry sexually assaulted her years ago and I'm just rooting for injuries.Katy Perry has denied Ruby Rose's accusations that the singer sexually assaulted her two decades ago. The "Orange Is the New Black" actress, 40, claimed in a series of Threads posts on Sunday that the alleged incident occurred at a nightclub in Melbourne, Australia when she was in her 20s. "Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s--t what she thinks," Rose wrote in response to Complex Music's post about Perry, In her next Threads message, Rose said it's taken her "almost two decades" to make the accusation public. "Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me," she stated. Perry's rep denied Rose's claim in a statement to Page Six. "The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies," the rep said. "Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named," the statement continued. Reps for Rose did not respond to Page Six's request for comment regarding Perry's denial. On Threads, Rose gave more details about the alleged incident. "She didn't kiss me. She saw me 'resting' on my best friend's lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her," she claimed about Perry. Rose alleged, "After it I threw up on her, I told the story publicly but changed it to be a 'funny little drunk story' because I didn't know how else to handle it. Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I DID tell yall she wasn't a good person. "
Brent BakerVideo here.
@BrentHBaker Don't want Iran to lose if it means Trump wins. @TomFriedman of @NYTimes really wants "to see Iran defeated militarily because this regime is a terrible regime for its people and the region," but on CNN's @Smerconish he fretted "the problem is I really don't want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are too awful human beings. They are both engaged in anti-democratic projects in their own countries. They're both alleged crooks. They are terrible, terrible people doing terrible things to America's standing in the world and Israel's standing in the world."
Hans MahnckeGee I wonder who this blind item from 2017 was about?
@HansMahncke 5h One of the most corrupt episodes in American public life, and that's a very crowded field, is the way legacy media, social media platforms, and Big Tech all colluded to prevent anyone from naming, let alone publishing, the Ukraine whistleblower's name. Given this guy's history as an anti-Trump operative, that blackout robbed the public of hugely important information and directly fed into the false impeachment of a sitting president. But it goes even further than that. The same fake news outlets enforcing that silence had previously run stories defending him against reporting that later turned out to be eerily accurate. Take for instance what @Cernovich was saying in 2017, specifically that Ciaramella wanted to sabotage Trump, that he was a leaker, and that he was strongly pro-Ukraine and anti-Russia. All of that later turned out to be exactly right, and there is little doubt that if the public had been told that people had warned in advance about Ciaramella and his role in targeting Trump, it would have collapsed the impeachment effort very quickly. That is why his name was kept hidden. It had nothing to do with privacy or any of that other nonsense.
mrs.frazzledThat's from a CNN piece about sexual harassment by Congressmen. Obviously CNN didn't want to dig too deeply into this. Another flashback: A propaganda media "journalist" claimed Elise Stafanik was a conspiracy theorist spreading the theory, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Adam Schiff helped draft the repulsive Eric Ciaramella's complaint for him. Amazing: Even though the propaganda media covered up for Eric Fartwell for a decade, and even though the story was only published due to Democrat-connected partisans organizing the hit on Fartwell for cynical political reasons, Brian Stelter actually claims the story represents a triumph of "investigative reporting" by the media that covered it up!
@ms_frazzled Now that this is out of the bag, I want you all to see something from 2017.
This is probably the dumbest thing Brian has ever said, which is no small feat. It is so breathtakingly stupid that you instinctively assume it must be satire or some kind of elaborate joke, only to discover that no, this is simply what he thinks passes for a serious point. https://t.co/eq0Yfr2b2T

.................................
I realize this is not the point, as I do think Katy Perry is part of the satanic cult that's out there...what bugs me when people don't report proper anatomy terms. Which I won't go into here.
I think it would have been physically impossible for Perry to do this with her vag vs this person saying the correct term. This does not replace the disgust and she did good to projectile vomit.
If any of it is true it does not change the fact that Perry was at one time hanging with Hil Clinton at some of those weird parties by the witch, Marina Abramovic.
Unrelated, but another evil person is Nicole Kidman, as her father was a perv/pedo in Australia and, I think, this explains her. Why she is in every movie on earth I am unsure, and I won't watch her.
Today I saw a headline that Kidman is studying to become a "death doula." Which I find fitting. If I was dying and saw her skeleton hands near me it would put me over the edge quickly. Maybe she'll go to Canada for the suicide pods.

Blame Roberts.
He had no justification for censoring Ciaramella's name during the Senate trial.
Also, anyone in the House or Senate could have used his name on the floor, protected by the Speech and Debate clause.
Trump had/has many enemies in the "GOP."

Gee whiz, John Roberts is an anti-Trump zealot? And he knowingly participated in an attempted coup against the duly-elected President?

If some skank surprised me by smearing her vagina on my face, "pink eye" wouldn't be in the top one-thousand concerns running through my head.

I do not have a clue on what is going to happen in regards to oil and natural gas prices but there are super tankers lined up in the Gulf of America heading to Texas and Louisiana to load up with gas and oil.
Short term it is going to be a boom for the oil and gas industry in the US. Long term, I read that the house of saud is opening up the pipelines to full capacity to avoid the straits of hormuz.

No, not the 'harder' part.
No oil from Iran means less overall, and less overall means higher prices for everyone. However, we don't need to import it, so no tariffs or 'crossing the ocean' transportation fees, and there's a non-trivial chance that Trump has an understanding with the oil companies not to short us *too* much.
So there will be pain all around, but more for everyone else, so we come out ahead, at least until someone figures out a long term replacement for Iran's oil (which could be Iran under new leadership), at which point prices will have gone back down. In the meantime, more business for our oil industry means possibly more jobs, and more tax revenue, if you care about that sort of thing.

*Snort*
Is it too much to hope that Swalwell gets sued civilly for sexual assault and nailed with a $100 million judgement. That is the standard that was applied to Trump even though his psycho accuser couldn't even remember what year that occured. Imagine the case that could be brought against this POS by his victims who actually know when, where, and how they were sexually assaulted.

The Most Neurotic Generation In History, Gen Z, Now Won't Leave Home Without Their "Anxiety Bags," Bags Filled with Self-Soothing Gizmos
"Experts call it genius," the NY Post claims.
Oh young women are adopting this viral trend? I didn't see that coming.
Hannah Fowles was spiraling. It had been a grueling day at work, and by the time the 22-year-old from Provo, Utah, got home, panic was bubbling in her chest as her thoughts raced and her cheeks flushed red. "I was starting to get super overheated and I couldn't calm myself down," Fowles told The Post. "Nothing that I normally do, like breathing exercises or lying down in a dark room, was working." Then she saw the bag.
Just weeks earlier, Fowles and her therapist had put together a small, grab-and-go kit filled with items to help calm her mind when anxiety strikes -- an idea she'd first come across while scrolling on TikTok. She now reached for it, swallowing her anxiety medication and pressing a cold pack to the back of her neck. She flicked on a small portable fan, letting the cool air wash over her face, while in her other hand, she gripped a spiky fidget toy, feeling its prongs dig into her palm as the panic began to ebb. "Within 10 minutes, I was able to calm down and go to sleep. It normally doesn't happen that quickly," Fowles said. "I never would have thought to have these things until I made the bag. It's been a game-changer -- I use it all the time." Others her age are finding relief in the same way.
Call them anxiety bags, panic pouches, calm-down kits -- whatever the name, these DIY creations are rapidly gaining popularity online, especially among Gen Z women.
The "body scan" thing that's mentioned works for reducing stress and falling asleep. There's a "guided meditation" here. The basic gist is that you focus on one part of your body at a time (I just do parts of my head) and imagine the nerves and muscles switching off and going slack. I think it's the same principle as counting sheep -- it's not what you're thinking, it's all the stuff you're not thinking about by focusing on this boring, repetitive, non-stressful thing. By making your brain focus on this one boring thing, you keep your brain from buzzing or catastrophizing. I only tried it because someone said they tell special ops guys to do this. They have limited time to sleep in, and are usually very keyed-up, and this protocol helps them fall asleep in the few hours they're allowed to sleep.* That sounded bad-ass and Not Gay to me, so I tried it, and it does work. I don't bother to do this any more. Now I just put on episodes of Always Sunny I've seen 50 times before. Same idea again: Your brain is trained on this boring thing (every show is boring after 50 watches) and that's just enough to keep you from thinking about more exciting things. * I also knew a spec op medic who said he's very loose with ketamine and other tranquilizers to make sure people can sleep even after coming off 10 hours of combat. So I guess there's that, too.
It's easy to see why. In a survey of nearly 1,000 Americans aged 18 to 26, 61% reported having a diagnosed anxiety condition, and 43% said they experience a panic attack at least once a month. And while many turn to talk therapy and medication to cope, those tools don't always work in the heat of the moment. "Stuff like mindfulness and body scans are great, but you have to remember to do them," said Dr. Kyra Bobinet, a physician and behavioral neuroscientist. "When you're in an environment like ours, this storm of hyper-stimulating triggers, you won't necessarily have the ability to remember to do those things anymore." That's where anxiety bags come in. Keeping self-regulation tools within reach during moments of high stress and sensory overload is, in Bobinet's words, "genius." "It's a way of distracting and soothing," she explained. "It creates other sensations to focus on so that you don't feel completely taken over by the rapid firing of your anxious or depressed mind."
Call them anxiety bags, panic pouches, calm down kits... whatever the name, these DIY creations are rapidly gaining popularity online... amongst the liberal crowd no doubt. 🙄😏 pic.twitter.com/LvS2eA0Ir1

These people are the most coddled, least threatened people in the history of the world...
And they have more anxiety than the people in this country who had (or in other countries who still have) to work every day to make sure they were able to EAT and live.
Humans need challenge and struggle. These neurotic porcelain dolls are fragile precisely because they've never had to struggle. So they imagine their own struggle. (Another was of phrasing it: Humans are anti-fragile)

I've raised my kids to be tougher, which isn't a big challenge, so they can outcompete these sissies in real life.
But, on balance - the Z kids appear to be much better people than my Millennial cohort. I wouldn't call them worthless degenerates like my cohort. I wouldn't call them intolerant, hyperconformist, borderline-braindead Jacobins like my cohort. I wouldn't say they ruined everything like my cohort did.

These people aren't unique in that regard. They're unique because they literally have nothing to live for. You used to have to live to survive. Either you had your shit together on purpose and life was good, or you didn't and you had to scramble and hustle just to keep from starving or getting killed somehow.
These people have the luxury of not having to fight for survival, but without having had any exposure even to the concept of fighting for survival. There's no work ethic. There's no hustle. There's no reason they should. They're basically pets.
Embracing neurosis gives them the internal struggle they need to give their existence some kind of pathetic meaning.

In between, I had to fix a printer driver problem for a 2018 Color Laser printer on our network. The driver did not like the change from cable modem and router ISP to new cheaper fiber optic ISP provider gateway. Had to reinstall the printer using old bash script and archaic driver along with the latest version of CUPS. Got it working.
To me, the biggest barrier to Linux acceptance are the driver situation as mfgs simply do not update their drivers and they can break on linux with new patches and upgrades.
Getting to be an issue for Windows too. I have an All in One Canon in the basement which will be Windows 10 4ever after I managed to find a windows driver from Canon India support page for Win 8.1. Original driver was XP SP3 vintage.

How much does this crap cost in the litle bag? Is there a douche bag as well? Seems like there should be a Summer's Eve in there. Or a Fleet's Enema. Either/or/both while having a minty life saver. That would distract them.
I don't know what I'd do if I had a daughter like this. Probably give her xanax that I would be popping in depression that I birthed a dimwit.
My oldest grandgirl is 5yrs old and would scare them (she scares us at times). My husband saw her knocked down flat playing by a larger boy and she got up unfazed and continued on with her life. Just get out of her way. Unstoppable is our girl.

Js daughter, who has an AWFL for a mother, is on anxiety meds. She has just announced she is autistic, something I find funny as she has been around my daughter who really is autistic, she knows she is not. J started ti argue with her, I told him to let it go, because she didn’t chose being trans as her trend du jour, we should be grateful for small blessings. But I hate she is on anxiety meds, it cannot be good for developing brains.
Meanwhile, my children are all pains in the tails, but not on meds and making it in life - even the autistic one. Perhaps being the no rules mama, as J calls me, is working out in the end. Experience is a heck of a teacher!

Thanks. Last night was stressful as the memory care facility sent her to the wrong (as in worse) hospital so we had to deal with EMTALA and Medicare to get her transferred early this morning after she was stabilized enough to travel. She had never been a patient at that hospital and they had no paperwork, etc. for her.
Got her to the right one about 2 am my time and surgery started about 11 am after a flurry of calls granting permission over the phone. I live multiple states away from mom and my sister who lives in town as an invalid could not manage to deal with the crisis last night before breaking down in a migraine.

It's obnoxious, especially because actually having one of those disorders can make life hella difficult and TikTok idiots are turning it into some kind of status symbol. It trivializes the actual disorders for the sake of attention and clout, and I can tell you from experience it really REALLY pisses off people who actually have legitimate diagnoses and struggle to get through the day because of it.

I'd put up one of those tear the phone number deals for a roommate and she showed up. Initially seemed fairly normal. A respiratory therapist student. Having an affair with a married medical resident of the university med school (I found this out later). Shy. Never came out of her room to meet my friends, and I had a lot. Male friends coming over to have a beer and discuss their girlfriends. Parties. I couldn't figure her out.
Two male friends plus my bf/husband told me they thought she was very weird. Yep. Jealous and complained about "all of my friends." Ok. Once came to the kitchen at 0530 and screamed at me for ironing my nursing school uniform. I ignored her but should have ironed her face.
I came home from work one night to see that she'd stolen my coffee table (?) and some of my clothes. One a denim shirt my mother embroidered, which was a bummer.
I debated small claims court for the missed rent/utilities/theft but my gang said, nah, she's nuts. In other words, be glad she did not slit your throat in your sleep.

my cat destroyed my color laser and I replaced with a less snazzy brother b/w laser and he's working hard at killing that too.
but the set up the drivers the updates etc etc
just easier to send stuff out to print and pick it up and get it delivered by staples or wherever
printers have been a nightmare my entire working career

There used to be brands better than others but pretty much all printer driver software (really most hardware driver software) has been made into trash or neglected until the latest OS update breaks the drivers.
PITA it is. Scanners can be even worse which is why I have some vintage computers that are more or less offline from Windows XP SP3 to Win 7 for certain hardware/software. Refuse to keep buying and paying new prices for hardware/software to get the same functionality as working old tech.

Came in from actual productive activities and was reviewing the earlier posts, and on one someone mentioned competitors in the earlier days of McDonalds. I've never seen anybody mention Howdy's Burgers (maybe Howdies'). I believe a national chain, know it was in Boston in mid-sixties. Basic burger was 8¢ around 1967. Anybody else remember it. One I remember for certain was at the rt.1/rt.109 West Roxbury/Dedham intersection, on the Dedham side.
Anybody else remember this chain?

I’ve made an emergency bag to have at work for when I have meltdowns. So, 99% of my meltdowns (emotional dysregulation crisis) happen at work. (Long whine about mental issues, all the crap in the bag) Still missing: a cheap bruxism plaque because I bite my teeth hard from stress, and a note telling others how they can assist: don't keep too many people around, ask before you touch me, keep me where I am, I'll be fine, etc. Any other ideas?
I keep something for grounding each of my senses. Taste (candy, mints, gum), smell (tin of scented wax), etc. I also keep a protein bar and juice box for afterwards because that's when I go into shutdown and need help recovering energy. I also keep a mini notebook and pen so I can write everything out to help me process. And an instant ice pack to engage the mammalian dive reflex.
I keep a kit in my house, car, and office. I have multiple, so one's always accessible.
I wish I could do that at my job! I work in overnights in healthcare , so when someone presses their call button i can't have noise-cancelling headphones on or anything like that.

Maybe something similar is going on with anxiety. We don't have barbarian hordes galloping in from over the horizon to loot, rape, and burn. We don't have leopards puncturing Cousin Bob's skull and dragging his corpse up a tree for later consumption.
We're tuned to be on guard against threats, and the fact that we can't SEE a threat doesn't help. In fact, it makes it worse.

Increasingly MSFT is making their software junk too. I keep ONE computer with their combination spyware/OS/Office completely updated. I don't used it as a daily driver due to the chance that MSFT OS update borks the system so I am always about one week behind on installing any updates. Don't turn it on to update it if the current Win 11 update is borked and wait until the update is patched.

Used it as a daily driver since Vista came out. Major issue with Linux is old hardware works but sometimes gets borked when you transition things like routers--my home network is pretty sophisticated because I have wired the whole house with cat 8 cable with drops, use the 2.4 for wireless security and camera systems, and the 5 ghz for phones and laptop.
With the transition to webapps, even in Windows, the difference is a lot less than it used to be.

Printers are a PITA, generally. Paper handling is a bitch. What I would like to see: some company should bring out a cheap clone of the old HP Paintjet tractor-feed printer, with cartridges made to be user-refilled. And along with that, a service called PrintDash; you e-mail them your copy, and they set it up and print X numbers of copies to your specifications, and courier them to you. If it's something confidential, they will send an Uber to pick you up, along with your copy on a thumb drive, and take you to their shop, so you can print it yourself on an off-line printer. For a price.

Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Documents Relating to the Fake Ukraine "Whistleblower"
Some background:
Hans MahnckeI've linked that below. Basically, he stitched together a fragment from the beginning of a call with a sentence coming five minutes later. Like the BBC stitch-up.
@HansMahncke 22h In anticipation of tomorrow's release of the IG Michael Atkinson transcript, here is the TLDR of the story. In August 2019, a supposed "whistleblower" filed a complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson, targeting President Trump for his July 25 call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. The complaint was based on second hand hearsay information and triggered the process that led to Trump's first impeachment. The allegation was that Trump demanded a quid pro quo, specifically military aid in exchange for an investigation into Biden family corruption in Ukraine. That claim was untrue, as the transcript later proved (I visualized the ridiculousness of the claim below).
But for Atkinson that part was no problem. He could just claim it was true. His problem was that the claim was hearsay and therefore didn't meet the requirements under his own rules. So Atkinson secretly changed the IG complaint form to allow hearsay. This was sharply identified by @MZHemingway, @climateaudit, and others in real time, by comparing the form to archived versions. They showed that Atkinson made an unannounced, backdated revision to rig the process and greenlight a politically motivated hearsay complaint that otherwise wouldn't have cleared even the most basic credibility bar.I know this is old news, but I personally needed the refresher, and I'm sure some other 29-year-old memories did as well.
Atkinson was never held to account, but he did testify under oath behind closed doors to the House Intelligence Committee in late 2019. While all other transcripts related to the Ukraine impeachment process were eventually released, this one has been guarded like radioactive material. It is now finally being made public, and will hopefully shed light on the internal mechanics of how Atkinson, Schiff, the Vindman brothers, and whoever else carried out the Ukraine impeachment scam.Update: Atkinson claimed, under oath, that it was all just a big coincidence of timing that he happened to change the rules at the same time this Democrat fake whistleblower wanted whistleblower protections the actual rules didn't allow him:
Hans MahnckeCatherine Herridge: the fake "whistleblower" was a registered Democrat who had worked previously with one of the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates. I'm going to guess it was Eric Swalwell, but that is just a guess. Also, the fake "whistleblower" improperly met with Adam Schiff to plot out strategy before going through official channels.
@HansMahncke 2h One of the key episodes in the Ukraine impeachment saga was that, just as the fake “whistleblower” came forward with second- and third-hand claims, Inspector General Atkinson secretly changed the process to allow hearsay complaints, whereas previously only first-hand accounts were permitted. So now we know that when Atkinson was confronted about it, his explanation was that it was all just a giant coincidence. The problem is that even if someone wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, the fact that he concealed the change makes it obvious to anyone with two functioning brain cells that it wasn’t a coincidence at all.
Catherine Herridge
@C__Herridge 2h NEW: WHISTLEBLOWER 2019 TRUMP IMPEACHMENT
- Registered Democrat
- "had a prior professional relationship with one of the Democratic Presidential candidates," according to newly released transcripts from the Intelligence Community watchdog Michael Atkinson. In a 2019 briefing to the house intelligence committee, Atkinson added, "I did not find the complainant (whistleblower) was biased." After seven years, the Atkinson records have been finally released @DNIGabbard
@RepRickCrawford
Catherine Herridge
@C__Herridge NEW RECORDS VIA @DNIGabbard @RepRickCrawford ATKINSON TRANSCRIPTS - First Trump Impeachment + Whistleblower Motive Whistleblower met with Democrats on House Intelligence Committee (then led by Adam Schiff) BEFORE reporting his allegations to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. October 2019: then Congressman now @CIADirector Ratcliffe nailed the timeline in a closed door briefing with Intelligence Community Watchdog Michael Atkinson. - Trump/Zelensky call July 25th 2019
- Whistleblower complaint filed August 12th
- Ratcliffe questioned what happened during those 18 days. Ratcliffe: The whistleblower did not disclose to you that he or she had contact with HPSCI (House Intelligence Committee)? Atkinson: The answer to that is yes. The answer to that is yes. Atkinson: On the urgent disclosure form, there's a question that the complainant is asked about who they have reported the violation to...and one of the boxes is the congressional intelligence committees. The complainant did not check that box.
More from Townhall's Matt Vespa:
Just The News:
The 2019 Trump impeachment effort was a sham -- we all know this. There were traces of truth peeking through this Democrat-manufactured push, which alleges a quid pro quo based on hearsay. The details of this fiasco involved then-Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who chaired the House Intelligence Committee and lied about having contact with the whistleblower who started this circus. The allegations were based on hearsay, with the analyst admitting he was a committed Democrat. As you might expect, he also had a history of political bias. He fit right in with the Deep State actors trying to derail the first Trump presidency. Now, newly declassified documents from the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, reveal that even this whistleblower's colleagues were skeptical of the spy craft, despite supporting the impeachment effort. One of the witnesses, identified as "witness #2," worked with disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was one of the main figures behind the Russian collusion hoax, and co-authored the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, ordered by Barack Obama before leaving office, which was full of flawed information to support the collusion narrative. To add, the whistleblower admitted to working closely with then-Vice President Joe Biden. This person also told the inspector general that he failed to mention he had spoken with Schiff before filing his complaint, apologized for this omission, but it was never made public.
What an absolute cowardly faggot. Now we see why the entire Democrat-Media Complex was so determined to hide his identity -- he's a shrieking sissy who's terrified of phantoms.
The documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the request of Just the News provide a starkly different portrait of the alleged whistleblower whose name and face were never shown to the public and whose lawyerly written letter accusing Trump of hijacking Ukraine policy for political gain was heralded by Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings. Investigators for the Intelligence Community Inspector General documented several concerns about the Trump accuser's political motives, noting he admitted he was a "registered Democrat" who had worked closely with Joe Biden on Ukraine issues and who disliked some of the conservative figures in the president's orbit, the memos show. The investigators also elicited an apology from the Trump accuser for misleading the probe and were acutely aware his allegations were based solely on second- and third-hand accounts about what Trump was alleged to have said and done. "I do not have direct knowledge of private comments or communications by the President," the alleged whistleblower, who claimed Trump improperly tried to pressure Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate Hunter Biden, admitted in his initial August 2019 intake form. That stunning line on the limitations of the whistleblower's knowledge was not included in the nine-page letter then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., released in late summer 2019 that touched off a months-long political maelstrom and led to Trump's impeachment by a Democrat-led House and his eventual acquittal in the Senate.
The newly-released memos also laid out multiple self-admitted potential biases tied to Ciaramella's Democratic registration, his work for Joe Biden, his knowledge of corruption-related discussions on Ukraine, his view that he had been pushed out of the Trump NSC because of right wing bloggers and more. Some of the revelations were not made public until Sunday, and many were concealed from House investigators when the intelligence community inspector general appeared before members in October 2019. During the second since-declassified House Intelligence Committee session, on October 4, 2019, the newly-released transcripts show Atkinson stated: "As part of the complainant's interview, I had directed the interviewers to ask the complainant to self-disclose potential bias information. The complainant self-disclosed that the complainant was a registered member of the Democratic Party. The complainant also self-disclosed that the complainant had a prior professional relationship with one of the Democratic Presidential candidates for the 2020 election." ... The inspector general did not include details relating to Ciaramella's work with then-Vice President Joe Biden, the whistleblower's long-term focus on Ukraine, Ciaramella's travel to Ukraine with Biden, and the whistleblower's presence at discussions about the alleged corruption of Ukrainian prosecutors -- all admitted by Ciaramella to watchdog investigators, all related to the allegations raised by Trump with Zelensky, and all redacted from what was provided to the House Intelligence Committee at the time in 2019. Atkinson redacted other potential biases too. ... The redacted questioner told Atkinson during the 2019 session, "You've now said today that the complainant worked closely with one of the presidential candidates for the 2020 election" and asked "is that what is redacted in the first bullet point here?" "Yes," Atkinson told the House investigators. The redacted questioner noted to Atkinson in 2019 that "the second" section on Ciaramella's biases "is entirely redacted." "Second, Complainant worked for the President Trump White House for [Redacted] as an [redacted] was then asked by [Redacted] to be [redacted]," the more unredacted version of the memo made public on Sunday said. "Complainant said this was a very stressful job and [redacted] became the target of right-wing bloggers, such as [Redacted], and conspiracy theorists, and later received death threats, which caused [redacted] to leave [redacted] White House position and return to CIA. [Redacted] then accepted [redacted]. Complainant believes that [Redacted], a former colleague at the NSC and current HPSCI staffer for Nunes, provided [Redacted] with information about Complainant for use in his threatening blogs."
The memos also disclose numerous other details about the whistleblower and the intelligence community's assessment of his claims that weren't available to the public, including that the CIA analyst: * Appeared interested in thwarting then-Attorney General Bill Barr from probing Hunter Biden, even though Barr wasn't a member of the intelligence community covered by the complaint; * Disliked Republicans around Trump, including former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and current FBI Director Kash Patel. The documents show the alleged whistleblower even went so far as to make a "request for Nunes not to view the disclosure" as a member of Congress even though he was a member of the "Gang of Eight" leadership entitled to see such intelligence; * Impugned then-top Trump National Security Council staffer Michael Ellis, now the deputy CIA director, as "slippery and untrustworthy" during a voluntary interview;
* Claimed he was a victim of an intimidation campaign carried out by "right-wing bloggers"; and Worked on his whistleblower complaint with a witness whose name was redacted and who told investigators he was connected to Peter Strzok, the former FBI agent who was fired in 2019 for his role in leading the now-discredited Russia collusion probe.
In anticipation of tomorrow’s release of the IG Michael Atkinson transcript, here is the TLDR of the story.

The DOJ is suing every state for their voter rolls. DHS has access to Medicare and SSA data to track down illegals. ICE has deported more from the interior in the past year than the entire presidencies of the past 6 presidents or so. The fed grant funding machine that created the modern leftist ecosystem has been cut off at the knees.
I'd say that the actual current battlefield is Trump running roughshod over the left's current logistics apparatus while some small sliver of the federal government is pursuing a grand jury in Florida over charges that the left denied Donald Trump his civil rights.

This is why Congress is a false prize.
Congress has very limited investigatory authority and absolutely no enforcement authority outside a pocket case of being able to order the sergeant at arms to temporarily arrest someone.
Investigations, indictments, and prosecutions come from the DOJ.
Obama did more damage to the country through abuse of the DOJ than Democrats have done through Congressional action in decades. Losing Congress but keeping the DOJ is less than a speedbump.

Tyler Robinson Made a Full, Handwritten Confession to His Gay Furry Lover
Cavernous Nostrils hardest hit.
Court filings also reveal that Robinson was further implicated by the gray Converse sneakers he owns, matching the ones worn by the assassin as seen through campus surveillance cameras.
Accused Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson's full handwritten confession to his trans lover reveals just how twisted his plot was, according to newly unsealed court documents. The sick note -- in which Robinson refers to roommate lover Lance Twiggs as "Luna" -- was made public in full Thursday, as Robinson remains held for allegedly shooting the popular conservative media personality from a rooftop at Utah Valley University in September 2025. "Luna, if you are reading this per my text, then I am so sorry," the note begins, presumably referring to a text Robinson had reportedly sent Twiggs moments after the assassination, telling his partner to "drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard." A search warrant affidavit obtained by Fox 13 confirmed the handwritten note was found under Twiggs' keyboard at a St. George, Utah, townhouse he and Robinson shared. The letter continues, "I left the house this morning on a mission, and set an auto text. "I am likely dead, or facing a lengthy prison sentence. I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it. "I don't know if I will/have succeeded, but I had hoped to make it home to you. I wish we could have lived in a world where this did not feel necessary. I wish I could have stayed for you and lived our lives together," Robinson wrote, according to court docs. "I lack the words to express how much I love you, and how very much you mean to me. Please try and find joy in this life. I love you, always, -Tyler," he concludes. Texts between Robinson and Twiggs, 22, have shown that the capital-murder suspect had been planning the grisly killing "a bit over a week," and offered insight into his train of thought in the moments afer the shooting -- as law enforcement launched a sweeping manhunt for the perpetrator. "I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet [sic], almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering," Robinson wrote in one text to Twiggs, the documents show. "Three hours ago there was an officer with a k9 walking nearby the area, hoping that pooch has a bad sniffer," another reads. "Im wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle, because it sounds like the police couldn't get in for a long while because of the traffic." The accused killer then alludes to passing the time by brazenly scouring social media: "guess im just sittin in my car watching reels for another hour, hopin this guy f--ks off [sic]." Robinson and Twiggs, who authorities have said was transitioning from male to female, then make a plan to rendezvous at their home. "I'm sorry, but I think this might be it," reads a text from Robinson, according to the docs. "If the way is clear I can try and come your way to say goodbye, after that I have a spot in mind that I'll call police to...I have no doubts they will be on me within the hour. And I will be giving my location up and going out on my own terms I have no intention of being drug through the courts in front of the country. Can I come see you?"
Unbelievably -- by which I mean, completely believably -- Me-Again Kelly "reported" on the handwritten confession before concluding that it would not change the minds of the conspiracy theorists, going on to repeat Cavernous Nostrils' objections as if they were grounded in reality, to wit, that because the letter is written in a "formal" tone that means it must be a planted fedslop fake. Me-Again doesn't endorse that claim -- she just describes it and suggests it's a real and reasonable objection. Anything to keep hold of Cavernous Nostrils' audience, now that all of her respectable non-deranged Republican audience has fled her.
A pair of gray Converse sneakers with white shoelaces helped authorities nail Tyler Robinson for Charlie Kirk's assassination, newly surfaced court documents reveal. Utah Valley University surveillance video captured Robinson, 22, sporting the kicks as he bizarrely moved around the campus in the moments leading up to the Sept. 10, 2025, fatal shooting from a campus building rooftop, according to a search-warrant affidavit unsealed Thursday. Investigators later found a shoe impression from the rooftop that was "consistent with the shoe sole characteristics of a Converse/Chuck Taylor shoe" that Robinson was wearing at the time, the affidavit stated. A separate court document noted that police later recovered a pair of "grey Converse shoes with white laces" from Robinson's St. George family home while executing a search warrant. The accused capital-murderer was captured on video footage 33 minutes before the fatal gunfire, when he was seen walking through a grassy area on campus, then through a parking lot and pedestrian tunnel.
Oh look, Candace Owens, conspiracy theorist wannabe Megyn Kelly, is finally coming to the realization that Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk!

Seems the used Grok to analyze the Bigfoot footage.
You know, the one where he's walking a looks over his shoulder at the camera man?
Anyway, it concluded that is was likely real, in that it had no evidence of manipulation in the video; that the subject did not appear to be in an animal suit and that it matched no known species.
Or: We don't know what it was, or was not.
Still, kinda cool analysis--if it was really done.

Plastic surgery and botox. But even so, Pick-Me-Again Kelly was never that attractive. Yes, she was pretty and had a nice body. But she was always graded on the curve because most women in her profession are hideous crones or melting-face scunts.
It's sorta like when you see a girl protesting at some commie antifa event and she's mid. But she's surrounded by mutant lepers and rotting piles of offal. So she looks much better looking than she really is.

Evidence indicates that it's more basic and internal than that. It's the effort and expense they go through to "transition," and the subsequent crashing disappointment. The transition was supposed to bring them peace, comfort, self-love, satisfaction, closure, in direct proportion to the torment they felt before. When life is no different, they're worse off than they were before, no hope, no relief, no future.

Luigi is another matter, though there was a NYC jury that went against the narrative in a lower-profile but politically charged thing recently. 75% seems fair.

What evidence? A grainy video of a guy we are told is Tyler Robinson jumping off a building with we are told with a gun. There's zero video of someone on the roof firing on the roof, the crime scene being destroyed promptly, Charlie not being taken the the nearest hospital...the whole thing is sketchy.
Utah police records show TYLER ROBINSON was ALREADY IN CUSTODY WHEN DISCORD KIRK 'CONFESSION' text MESSAGES were SENT.

Defense already rejected Joe Kent as a witness in the case. Expert witnesses have to be qualified by the court and as he has no fact pattern knowledge of the event itself, he would not be useful as a regular witness to the case.
My guess is defense is probably going to try an insanity defense or a plea deal rather than TODDI (the other dude did it). Evidence is pretty damning including video, palm prints, ownership of the rifle, the note, etc. The whole Forensics bullshit on the bullet comes from a hunting bullet can do strange things and get mangled in a shooting of human bodies (or animals). Add in at an angle, the whole bullshit narrative of Candace Ovens never made sense in the first place, now it makes even less sense akin to flat eartherism that Tyler was not the shooter.

Saw a clip from a show called "the Good Doctor" where the super surgeon is autistic (because according to Hollywood, its a superpower, not a handicap). He is talking to a homosexual man who had a baby with another homosexual "man" and the autistic doctor is baffled how he can call himself homosexual. the other doctors and nurses rush him away before he can offend the patient with logic and biological fact.

She was good in Office Space, but because of the writing. Jennifer herself didn't bring anything to the role that seventy other actresses could not.
And while I liked unforgiven a lot, its a deconstruction of a western, and far from the best of the genre in my opinion. If I had to choose it would probably be The Cowboys, or Pale Rider.

A black Helen of Troy (assuming it actually happens, there's been no confirmation what role Lupinto is playing) will be no impediment to the film making $1 billion at the box office.
Luigi voice actor Charlie Day said that Luigi Mangioni is one of his favorite Luigi's right before Super Mario Galaxy opened, and it didn't affect the box office at all.

He goes first to the German hell and asks, 'What do they do here?' He is told, 'First, they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes and whips you for the rest of the day. The man does not like the sound at all, so he goes to the American hell. He is told the same routine: 'First, they put you in an electric chair for an hour...' He then tries a few other hells, always the same answer.
Then finally he comes to the Indian hell and finds a very long queue of people waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, 'What do they do here?' And to his surprise, once again he receives the same answer.
He exclaims, 'What the hell! That's exactly the same as all the other hells-so what's the long queue for?"
He receives the response: 'Because maintenance is so bad the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former Government of India bureaucrat - so he comes in, signs the register and then goes off to the cafeteria...'

Health insurance is an odd thing.
I have insurance on my house. If it burns down or something the company pays. If I need a new roof or sink I pay for it because insurance isn't supposed to cover normal wear and tear.
But...health insurance covers, apparently everything. So it isn't even insurance.

Nolan built up a pretty solid list of movies...but it looks like he is about to throw it away with Woke Odysseus
There are a lot of red flags about that movie, but we don't know enough about it to be certain yet. Just... a lot of stuff that makes me cringe. Zendaya as Athena. Nolan saying he wants to make a more "grounded" story. Black, meh looking Helen of Troy. So many concerns.

A black Helen of Troy (assuming it actually happens, there's been no confirmation what role Lupinto is playing) will be no impediment to the film making $1 billion at the box office.
Luigi voice actor Charlie Day said that Luigi Mangioni is one of his favorite Luigi's right before Super Mario Galaxy opened, and it didn't affect the box office at all.
Why?
Because these controversies are tempests in tea cups and don't derail pre-existing interest.

Brave AI has a decent summary.
"The shot that killed Charlie Kirk was fired from approximately 130 to 200 yards (120 to 180 meters) away, with multiple sources providing slightly varying estimates based on forensic and video analysis. The gunman was positioned on the roof of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University, roughly 140–175 yards from Kirk’s speaking location under an open-air tent. "
The difficulty of the shot is shooting downhill (an uphill shot is also more difficult) because it requires thinking in 3d when most people are accustomed, outside those that hunt in the mountains, of shooting flat and level (2d) on ranges with flat shooting cartridges between point blank firing range and maximum point blank range. On a flat range, fairly easy to compensate for the minor differences in powder charge/pressure and bullet weight. Not so on shooting at altitude differences between shooter and target.
Makes it harder without equipment to compensate to judge distances as well. No mention yet of dickhead tyler using a range finder and previously checking the range distance before the assassination.

The correct term is health care rationing. On scarce resources, you either get rationing by price or rationing by politics. Dems want rationing by politics eventually because it gives them more control over the people by a direct way to threaten them. No one likes the tradeoffs between price and healthcare but the right tolerates it far more than the left.

There's a growing rift between the Catholic faithful and Church leadership on certain issues. The left within the Church is trying to undo that and bring the American Catholic laity more in line with where we were a decade ago, closer to 50/50.
2024, the Catholic vote was 56-44 after years of oscillating around 50/50. A hard right turn. Using the authority of the papacy to try and bring that back probably won't work.
I mean, we ignored Francis for more than a decade. We can ignore Leo, too.

Proof of how great "Unforgiven" is comes from
the Japanese remake,
"Yurusarezaru Mono", which itself is a very good movie but with more story that gets in the way the main story and theme.
It never reaches the mythic anti-mythic heights of "Unforgiven" because the story isn't as clean.
Still, Ken Watanabe does a great job in the Clint Eastwood role.

I don't see it that way in context. Bill Munny is a villain. A reformed and then relapsed villain. No one should be taking their moral cues from him. Little Bill protests he don't deserve to die, and Munny more or less says, "I don't give a shit. You are going to die because I can make it happen and I'll have my vengeance" for Ned (and himself to a lesser extent, for the beating Bill put on him). That's it. There's really no should or ought contained there as a moral lesson. Munny kills Bill because he's a violent sonofabitch who can (and in fairness that was kinda Bill's view of the law too). If there's a message in all this slaughter, to me it's more along the lines of "Those who live by the sword die by the sword." Grim, perhaps. But not nihilistic.

Same, friend. I have found a church home where things aren’t perfect (humans being what they are) but I hav never felt closer to Jesus and more settled in my faith. That said, I am not going to trash others and their faith (please note I am not saying you are), I am grateful for anyone who is going to church and doing what works for them. But I won’t return to the Catholic Church.

Yes, they get a quick bump in negotiating power, as well as being celebrated.
Michael B. Jordan was going to star in the new version of Miami Vice before he won his Oscar. As soon as he won his Oscar, he doubled his price, and the studio will most likely pay it.
Tom Hooper won his Oscar for Best Director on The King's Speech and convinced the studio to pay for a CGI heavy adaptation of CATS.
The Oscars are very important in the industry. They help drive some large decisions for the biggest awards.

My totally winging it take of a dead religious sect is that the Sadducee saw the whole Jewish ethnicity and religion as immortal, not individuals.

Trump's Blockade of the Strait of America Begins
The U.S. on Monday said it began blocking ships from entering or exiting Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, attempting to ratchet up pressure on Iran to reopen the key oil route after peace negotiations collapsed. As the 10 a.m. ET deadline passed for the blockade to take effect, President Donald Trump warned Iran's "fast attack ships" not to come near the U.S. forces enforcing the closure. "If any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED, using the same system of kill that we use against the drug dealers on boats at Sea," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "It is quick and brutal." A White House official confirmed to CNBC that the blockade has taken effect. Trump had announced the blockade plan Sunday in a social media post slamming Iran for refusing to give up its nuclear ambitions and accusing Tehran of "WORLD EXTORTION" by continuing to throttle traffic through the strait. The U.S. blockade applies to "any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," Trump said. The U.S. Central Command later added the caveat that American forces "will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports." "The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman," CENTCOM specified.
This is a very Trumpian move. It flips the script -- you're blocking our ships? Okay, now we're blocking yours. I think this is an improvisation, a gamble made because Iran just will not agree to any of Trump's ceasefire demands. What's the goal? Miad Maleka explains:
U.S. to Blockade Ships Entering or Exiting Iranian Ports TAMPA, Fla. -- U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13 at 10 a.m. ET, in accordance with the President's proclamation. The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports. Additional information will be provided to commercial mariners through a formal notice prior to the start of the blockade. All mariners are advised to monitor Notice to Mariners broadcasts and contact U.S. naval forces on bridge-to-bridge channel 16 when operating in the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz approaches.
Miad MalekiThis is tough: The IRGC will wind up destroying much of Iran's future oil production to cling to power.
@miadmaleki 1/10 The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would cost Iran approximately $276M/day in lost exports and disrupt $159M/day in imports, a combined economic damage of ~$435M/day, or $13B/month. Over 90% of Iran's $109.7B in annual trade transits the Persian Gulf. Oil/gas accounts for 80% of government export earnings and 23.7% of GDP. Kharg Island alone generates ~$53B/year, or as I noted to @TIME, "$78 billion a year in energy revenue. 2/10 CRUDE OIL: Iran was exporting ~1.5M barrels/day, earning $139M/day at wartime pricing (~$87/barrel), though with minimal proceed repatriation due to banking sanctions. A blockade zeroes this out overnight. Kharg Island, which handles 92% of crude exports, sits deep inside the Gulf with no viable alternative. That's $139M/day, gone.
/10 PETROCHEMICALS: Iran exported $19.7B in petrochemicals in 9 months of 2024/25, ~$54M/day. Virtually all of it ships through Assaluyeh, Imam Khomeini, and Shahid Rajaee, all inside the blockade zone. No overland route can move these volumes. Another $54M/day, gone. 4/10 NON-OIL EXPORTS: Iran's non-oil trade hit $51.7B in 2025. After subtracting petrochemicals, ~$88M/day in goods (minerals, metals, etc.) flow through Persian Gulf ports. Roughly 90% would be blocked. That's another ~$79M/day in lost revenue. ... 7/10 IMPORTS: Iran imported $58B in goods in 2025, ~$159M/day. A blockade chokes off industrial inputs, machinery, and consumer goods. Food inflation already hit 105% by February 2026. Rice prices are up 7x. This gets dramatically worse under blockade. Blockade will hopefully allow offloading of the humanitarian cargos. /10 Extremely important topic is the storage clock: Iran has ~50-55M barrels of total onshore oil storage, roughly 60% full. Spare capacity: ~20M barrels. With 1.5M bbl/day of surplus production that normally exports, storage fills in ~13 DAYS. After that, Iran must shut in wells.
In addition, Iran has been collecting "tolls" from ships it allows to pass, most of which are, I assume, taking oil to Iran's allies like India and China. The blockade not only strips Iran of this "toll" money, but will cause Iran's allies to pressure it into conceding. Will this work? I don't know. Another question is, will it cut into the IRGC faster than it punishes the people suffering under the tyranny of the Islamic Occupational Army? Again, I don't know.
Why is this very important: when mature oil wells shut down, bottom water rushes in, a process called water coning. Oil droplets get permanently trapped in rock pores. This oil can never be recovered. Iran's fields already decline 5-8% annually. Forced shut-ins could permanently destroy 300,000-500,000 bbl/day of production capacity, that's $9-15B/year in revenue, gone forever. 9/10 CURRENCY COLLAPSE ACCELERANT: The rial has already cratered from 42,000 to 1.5M per dollar. Banks are limiting withdrawals to $18-30/day. Overall inflation: 47.5%. A blockade eliminating all forex earnings pushes the rial into terminal hyperinflation. The regime issued its largest-ever banknote, 10M rials, worth about $7. 10/10 BOTTOM LINE: A naval blockade imposes ~$435M/day in combined economic damage. Storage fills in 13 days, forcing well shut-ins that cause permanent reservoir damage. The rial enters terminal collapse. Iran's alternatives outside the Strait can replace less than 10% of Gulf throughput. The blockade makes continued resistance economically impossible.

Yeah. One useful thing this war has done is exposed how much a lot of countries are showing their asses.

Ummm, no.
Water coning occurs when producers pump wells too FAST.
Some types of reservoirs and wells do not respond favorably to extended shut in periods. I do not know the particulars of the Iranian reservoirs, but that statement above is not correct.
Further, Iran's oil fields are not monolithic. If any of their smart engineers are left, I assume they will keep pumping the "at risk" fields and shut in the fields that will not suffer.
OTOH, Trump is applying a ton of pressure!

being aggressively implementing a standing policy/tactic against Iranian exports - seizure of ships and diversion of revenues therefrom to escrow accounts. Just as we did with Venezuelan shipping prior to their little helicopter-enhanced management change. Pretty sure we've done this with Iranian ships, under sanctions policy, in the past, and that's recent past.
Still don't understand why that is not being done. It would shut down exports about as quickly as this blockade. It can be performed anywhere, not just at the Strait or in the Gulf. Regime's not gonna try very hard to export when they see no $$ from the activity.

You also forget, the Saudis have a pipeline to the Red Sea. It was supposed to be opened in three years. It opened this week - someone was lying about the timeline. 7 million barrels a day, exported. So, Gulf oil companies can now bypass the straight.
China is now in Talks with Qatar for more oil. Iran's own patron is writing them off.
It means the world is simply going to move on without Iranian oil. So now Iran must demand the straight be opened - switching positions with the U.S.

Still don't understand why that is not being done. It would shut down exports about as quickly as this blockade. It can be performed anywhere, not just at the Strait or in the Gulf. Regime's not gonna try very hard to export when they see no $$ from the activity.

You also forget, the Saudis have a pipeline to the Red Sea. It was supposed to be opened in three years. It opened this week - someone was lying about the timeline. 7 million barrels a day, exported. So, Gulf oil companies can now bypass the straight.

If the United States had ramped up drone production following the Israeli-Iranian conflict in June 2025, we could already have killed enough Basiji and IRGC in the major cities that the remainder wouldn't be capable of suppressing dissent. But there doesn't seem to have been much, if any preparation for this conflict.

The geography is very favorable. All Iranian cargoes emerge from a very small area. Monitoring/intercepting is not difficult.
All "ghost fleet" ships present no new issues at all. Dunno what % of Iranian oil exports (or others) are carried by non-ghost fleet hulls, doubt it's that high. In any case, if you're killing heads of state with airstrikes as part of an operation, you should be ready to do something like fully enforce an already existing (and "UN approved") policy.

I was reading a Euronik thread a few days ago where the Euroniks had decided that whether or not Americans voted for Trump we were all collectively responsible because on one was actively trying to remove him.
A few American lefties tried arguing they were going to No Kings rallies but the Euroniks still argued they had a collective responsibility.
And then you read their takes on the WoT or this conflict with Iran and it is comical.

******************************
From early on in this conflict, there have been videos of drone strikes on Iranian regime checkpoints. It doesn't seem as if Iran has any effective anti-drone systems; they've been bragging about a handful of drones downed. This implies that a sufficient number of drones could have blasted thousands, or tens of thousands, of Basiji/IRGC at checkpoints, or driving around in vehicles, or various other situations that could easily be called in by the Iranian resistance, until the Basiji/IRGC began to melt away and a general uprising could be signaled.
But America & Israel evidently haven't stockpiled anywhere near enough drones to achieve this, even though this would have been relatively cheap compared to the actual operations thus far (and continuing).

And make no mistake - if a liberated Iran comes out the other end of this thing, we will just have another country we liberated that immediately turns around and shits on us at every opportunity, just like all the other countries we've helped out of a jam.

When the ceasefire was first announced, Iran fired a bunch of missiles at Israel and a few Gulf states, under the pretext that the ceasefire hadn't yet taken effect. Iran doesn't seem to have been conducting any attacks since then, except on shipping. I assume that if Iran fired any missiles or sent any drones against Israel this would prompt Israel to renew operations against Iran, and similarly that the United States would respond to further attacks by Iran against Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, or the United Arab Emirates.

Queer Keir was also a buttbuddy of Lord Ali (a Pakistani) who gave Keir all sorts of 'gifts' and appears to be kissing Keir on the street in a video.

In both ˹Gardens˺ will be maidens of modest gaze, who no human or jinn has ever touched before.
Those ˹maidens˺ will be ˹as elegant˺ as rubies and coral.
And below these two ˹Gardens˺ will be two others.
Both will be dark green.
In each will be two gushing springs.
In them are fruits, palm trees, and pomegranates.
In all Gardens will be noble, pleasant mates
They will be˺ maidens [houris] with gorgeous eyes, reserved in pavilions.
No human or jinn has ever touched these ˹maidens˺ before.
All ˹believers˺ will be reclining on green cushions and splendid carpets."
May we send the IRGC to their maidens.

Iran is attempting to use rail links and Caspian Sea routes to circumvent the maritime restrictions.
-----
Reportedly, Iran extensively uses its approximately 13,000 km rail network to transport goods domestically and internationally, acting as a crucial transit hub for freight between China, Russia, and Central Asia.

There have also been assertions that a couple of European governments have paid the tolls directly to Iran...which is not how tolls work.

Oh, we was doing that in the series. I just don't understand where Walter Koenig or the writers came up with the idea that Russian-speakers pronounce "v" as "w." The "w" sound really doesn't exist in Russian, except kinda-sorta in loanwords. But the "v" sound is all over the place.

I wonder if it's like the Triganic Pu in Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.-
The Triganic Pu is a unit of galactic currency, with an exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu. This is simple enough, but, since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change.

They can hope to wait things out...but the IRGC has siphoned off major elements of their Iraqi militias to subdue the Persian population. They're pulling foreign assets to cling to power and starvation hasn't started yet.
And the top 40 government officials not in the IRGC are going to be easily tracked when they get back from Islamabad with the clock ticking on the ceasefire running out.

I think this ship blocking (and financial devastation on Iran) is giving them a taste of how we can hurt them with minimal effort. Eventually, there will be a back door deal that will include dropping a number of sanctions, re-opening the Straits, and a look the other way when Special Forces show up and take the Uranium. Iran just giving it over makes them look weak, and for the same tyrannical jackasses to hold onto power, they have to do a little Kabuki theater on the Uranium acquisition.

'COVID-19 drives gas, oil prices to their highest in 7 years.'
In part, The average price is $1.08 higher than it was a year ago.
👉Prices jumped this past week when OPEC said it would not boost oil production in the middle of a global shortage caused by deep production cuts at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We can thank just about everything that we’re seeing now on the fact that COVID stifled consumer demand long enough that it caused prices to collapse, which caused production to collapse,” said Patrick De Haan, petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.

It's obvious that the choice of the Gayatollah in a coma as leader is that whatever the antebellum power structure had been is now dead.
The IRGC has taken full control, and they're fractured by design since their top leadership has been taken out.
The ceasefire was for rearming. The talks were for kabuki.

Leonard Nimoy (Spock): Appeared in all episodes except for the pilot "The Cage" and a few others.
William Shatner (Kirk): Appeared in every episode after the pilot, but was absent from the original pilot.
DeForest Kelley (McCoy): Joined in the second pilot and was not in "The Cage".
Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel/Computer Voice): While she did not appear on-screen in every episode as Nurse Chapel, she did voice the Enterprise computer in almost all episodes, and appeared as Number One in the pilot, then Chapel in the series.
Other cast members like George Takei (Sulu), James Doohan (Scotty), and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) were also missing from various episodes due to acting rotation or budgetary restrictions.

you mostly see the pupil/cornea on a gorilla at rest. I'm sure they CAN open their eyes wide enough! but typically the direction of focus is not visible. only two mammals - one being humans - have visible white sections ergo visible point of focus for the pupils
and one more. it's very close to us, usually.

Leadership decided that the limitations on the strait would be an acceptable "loss" early in the conflict. The focus was on ballistic missiles and leadership and known nuclear sites. That was the priority.
Part of that campaign was most likely any sort of surface to ship capabilities Iran has.
And...ships have been going through for weeks. Lloyd's has asserted that they would insure the ships as a wartime risk, especially after Treasury said they'd reinsure. Inbound ships that are too afraid have redirected to our Gulf coast.
And plans to bypass the strait completely with pipelines are being fast tracked.

This follows a January court filing in which the government conceded that DOGE associates may have improperly accessed sensitive data at the agency.
A DOGE employee signed an agreement to share SSA data with an unnamed political advocacy group that wanted to overturn election results in certain states, the government said in a correction to the record. That filing also revealed that much of DOGE’s data access occurred outside of official protocols — and that SSA still doesn’t know the full scope of DOGE’s data access and sharing, which included the use of an unauthorized server.

Agreed, George Takei is the Asshole of All Time, but we have to separate the actor from the character. Sean Penn, for example, is a very talented actor, but an absolute retard politically. Robert De Niro was good in Mean Streets and Taxi Driver, but as a person he's a total embarrassment.

Very, very late to this thread, but I had to comment on Chekhov not being in every Star Trek episode. This is absolutely true, and relevant to the movie Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan. Chekhov was not in Space Seed, the episode that introduced Khan Noonian Singh. Because of this, there was no way Khan would have recognized Chekhov in ST2.

Eric Fartwell Forced Out of Gubernatorial Race by Post-Biden-Debate Coordinated Campaign; Apologizes for "Mistakes in Judgment I Have Made in My Life"
He was forced out after Democrats threatened to expel him from Congress if he didn't resign from the race.
Now that he's out of the race, I anticipate them defending him and permitting him to remain in the House. Just like they did with Biden -- they forced him out of a race for tactical and cynical political reasons, but then kept him in office for equally tactical and cynical political reasons.Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, are expected to face an immediate expulsion threat when the House returns from a two-week recess on Tuesday. Swalwell, who dropped out of California's 2026 gubernatorial race Sunday, is facing multiple sexual assault and misconduct allegations, including at least one involving a former staffer. The Manhattan district attorney's office has also opened a criminal investigation into an incident that allegedly occurred in New York City. Swalwell has repeatedly characterized the allegations as "false," though he acknowledged a lack of judgment on Sunday. He has pledged to vigorously defend himself.Politico:
Swalwell suspends governor campaign amid sexual misconduct allegations His exit came after allies and staffers abandoned him en masse.
... "I am suspending my campaign for Governor," Swalwell wrote on X on Sunday. "To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past." He wrote, "I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made -- but that's my fight, not a campaign's." The Democratic congressman's exit completed a stunningly swift collapse for a candidate who had shown signs in recent weeks of pulling ahead of a crowded Democratic field, with prominent interest groups and elected officials beginning to coalesce behind him. But an ex-staffer's allegation that Swalwell had sexually assaulted her, detailed in a San Francisco Chronicle report and followed by more misconduct allegations in a CNN report, led those allies to abandon Swalwell en masse as high-level staffers departed his campaign. Swalwell started last week vehemently denying accusations against him as nakedly political attacks on the race's frontrunner. He ended it politically isolated, his top campaign surrogates and prominent endorsers withdrawing their support or urging him to exit the race. By Friday afternoon, Swalwell's two campaign co-chairs, Reps. Jimmy Gomez and Adam Gray, called on Swalwell to drop out, as did Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement saying the accusations "must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability," and that, "As I discussed with Congressman Swalwell, it is clear that is best done outside of a gubernatorial campaign." Swalwell had come under enormous pressure not only in the governor's race, but in the House, too, where he now is facing calls for his expulsion. Meanwhile, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office is investigating allegations that he sexually assaulted a former staffer in a New York City hotel room in April 2024.
I know that some of you object to this political hit based on the fact that there is no actual evidence of rape introduced against him yet, just allegations. But I cannot help but apply Eric Fartwell's own evidentiary standards against him. Here is Fartwell repeatedly accusing Trump of being an "Agent of Putin," and when asked what the evidence is for this conspiracy theory, he just says "the evidence is right in front of your nose" and "the evidence is hiding in plain sight." This turned out to be a line cribbed from Adam Schiff: When Schiff claimed he had secret evidence that Trump was a RUSSIAN ASSET, he only meant "you can just tell by looking at him."
Swalwell’s political career should have been over after he slept with a Chinese spy. It wasn’t.

Instead, Pelosi put him on the Intelligence Committee so he could tell ridiculous lies about Trump and Russia.
Democrats enabled this monster.pic.twitter.com/lVzF21r0lJ
California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell will find himself in more legal crosshairs if he or his team "disparages" one of his accusers of sexual misconduct, her husband warned on Saturday night. Adam Parkhomenko, who is married to Ally Sammarco, said on social media he wished the congressman's family well and hopes he gets the help he needs. "But if Eric Swalwell or his attorney makes a single statement that disparages my wife, I will be filing a lawsuit against him," Parkhomenko went on. "I've already made clear that if he believes anything I've said is untrue, he should sue me immediately." He warned Swalwell "he should be very careful about what he chooses to say" before calling on him to resign from Congress. ... In a report published by CNN, Sammarco alleged that Swalwell had sent her inappropriate messages on Snapchat in 2021, including unsolicited nudes. Swalwell would also go for jogs in her neighborhood and ask her to come downstairs from her apartment to chat, she alleged. "It made me feel gross and uncomfortable," she said of the nudes. "I didn't ask for that." ... Other accusations made more serious claims, including alleged rape. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office in New York launched an investigation Saturday into the incidents."Movin' sloppy," as BCP says. Nancy Pelosi said she had "no concerns" about Fartwell banging a Chinese spy when she put him on the tip-top secret clearance Intelligence Committee. Maybe she should have had some concerns. In unverified video, Eric Fartwell supposedly videotaped himself attempting to kiss a woman who was plainly uninterested him, despite her allegedly being a sex worker. The video has been deleted but you might still see it here. The fact that it has been deleted suggests that it's an AI deep fake, but, as Boromir might say, "The evidence we should use the ring is right in front of your nose." Grok says it looks real...
But I have no confidence in AI answers about whether something is AI. I asked grok or chatGTP a year ago about very suspicious videos and it assured me they were real. I didn't believe it, and kept re-asking, and with each new answer the AI backed away from its initial confidence and eventually admitted "They're fake." I think AI is good at figuring out what you want to hear and telling you just that. OTOH, the Space Nerd Elon Musk thinks the video is real. But there are other reasons he should never have been placed on the Intelligence Committee: A 2017 FBI report concluded he was guilty of leaking "a lot of leaked information."
@grok Apr 11 Modern AI-generated videos can be virtually indistinguishable from real ones, making definitive determination difficult or impossible from visual inspection alone. That said, the short clip shows fluid movements, consistent lighting/shadows, natural skin textures, and no obvious artifacts like distorted hands or flickering faces. The man strongly resembles Eric Swalwell. It appears to be authentic footage rather than AI-generated, though external verification (e.g., source metadata or statements from those involved) would be needed for certainty.
Eric Swalwell: Allegations of sexual misconduct, leaking sensitive information and more.

Bipartisan furor over sexual misconduct allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) is cascading into calls to expel not only him, but three other members -- two Republicans and a Democrat -- accused of wrongdoing. The dynamic could upend the House in the coming weeks with forced votes, intense debate, and at least one public House Ethics Committee hearing on the books. Swalwell ended his gubernatorial bid on Sunday after being accused of sexually assaulting a former aide and other instances of misconduct. Lawmakers calling for his ouster from Congress immediately also pointed to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), who admitted he had an affair with a former congressional staffer who later died after setting herself on fire, and is accused of sending sexually explicit messages to a former campaign aide. Gonzales's affair was reported earlier this year, leading to an Ethics Committee referral and the Texas congressman ending his bid for reelection in March. It is against House rules for a member to have a sexual relationship with a member of their staff. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said over the weekend she will file a motion to expel Swalwell and is inquiring to see if she can pair that with a motion to expel Gonzales. It takes support from two-thirds of the House to expel a member from Congress. A growing number of Democrats -- including Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-N.M.), Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), and Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) -- have said they would be in favor of expelling both Swalwell and Gonzales. On the Republican side, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) said he would vote to expel both. But the demands for punishing lawmakers accused of wrongdoing aren't stopping there. Members are also pointing to Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.). Mills -- whose former girlfriend obtained a restraining order against him last year for harassment, and whose other simultaneous girlfriend accused him of assault before quickly recanting -- is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of dating violence, campaign finance violations and more.Happy New Week!

Never mind all that. The California jungle primary was on track to have two GOPers come out with the top vote counts. Meaning when the real election came around, there would be no Democrats on the ballot. So, the Dems are using whatever tactics they can to eliminate the excess Dems who are splitting the vote in the jungle primary.
If they succeed, there will be at least 1 Dem who comes out in the top 2 from the primary, who then would be expected to win in the general.
So, I was against the maneuver to eliminate Fang Fang's toy. Oh well.

This would be very interesting since the reason the Dems defenestrated Swalwell was because having two competitive Dems in the race was going to hand the governorship to the GOP. If both Porter and Kamala run, they're in the same boat.

While it's inarguable that a variety of heinous crimes go unpunished (or even rewarded) in the Republican Party, handling situations this severe is a source of pride within the Dem base.
You can tell me we live in one nation called America, but I’d argue MAGA’s decision to support sexual predators as long as they’re racist actually splits us into the United States and the Neo-Confederacy.
At least now California is likely to have a progressive Governor. Let's hope Tom Steyer will be California's version of Illinois' JB Pritzker.
Frankly, if all of Swalwell’s votes get split evenly between Porter and Steyer, there’s a chance there’s two Democrats in the general.
I never gave him much thought until his embarrassing showing during the 2020 debates. that codified him as an pathetic try hard loser for me. the news didn't surprise me at all.
Porter and Swalwell, champion the progressive and centrist coalitions, respectively, can have a more open discussion about class politics in the Democratic Party.

It appears that the zero enrichment poison pill killed the Islamabad negotiations yesterday. We have 9 more days in this cease fire to fix this, but we must pursue our goals not Israel's.
Trump's redline has always been no nuclear weapons for Iran, not zero enrichment. Iran agrees with this and has not sought to develop or obtain a nuke since 2003 but needs to retain the ability to enrich for their "not Saddam but not Qaddafi" policy to work.

GOP voters are less forgiving than Dems. Way back in the House page scandal where GOP and Dem congress critters were screwing the underage types. Daniel Crane (GOP) dropped his bid for reelection due to sleeping with a 17 year old female page, Gerry Studds slept with a 17 year old boy and Mass voters cheered him on the multiple additional terms in office until he retired.
It is more that GOP voters do not tolerate shitheads; Democrats figure they will get something out of it by keeping the shitheads in office. It is only when another DEI Dem wants the office that the Dem has, that a straight white man gets shivved so the DEI type can crawl into office.

I think she can't help but be just the most nasty, condescending, and rude AWFL cooked up in the labs of Hell.
And she'll see the general campaign as affirmation to double that.
Especially against Republicans and Trump.
Which, I think will be so off-putting, so over-the-top, so crude, that Dems will stay home in November.
Dems they desperately need to show up in Congressional races in the new, lighter blue, districts.
(recall, even with post-election counting--that SCOTUS is about to end--they only won a lot of those by less than 2%.)
If they win the governor but lose these new seats?

They can't keep it any longer but they can donate it to other politicians, etc. which usually requires a quid pro quo. They can also use it for legal expenses, etc. after they drop their candidacy among other things. Swalwell is flat broke apparently from overspending for years and my guess is he was delaying his exit while grabbing everything not nailed down (his charging the campaign for child care was just the latest).

I really think this would be the worst-case scenario.
Because, every Dem statewide in every race will run against "stopping the Republican governor."
And it'll be a powerful message.
And said R will have no power, no way to enact any of his agenda, and is guaranteed to be a one-term loser. Hell, he's likely to be impeached for the crime of "being Republican" in the first month of office.
now, with a "everyone knows the Dem will win" there's less motivation to get out to vote in November.

And because the Dems only dropped the bottom out of his world, after years of turning the other way and ignoring it because of probably losing the Cali governor race to a Republican shows us how corrupt their party actually is.
Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg
GOP voters have forced the national GOP to take out the trash or they've done it themselves (Gonzalez for example has already lost his primary to Brandon Herrera). They also took out Eyepatch McCain due to his misbehavior.
Dems, on the other hand, love criminals in general including their colleagues in office. The only way they kick them out is not from Dem voters, but to exchange scalps with the House GOP when the national media coverage of Dem criminality in office gets too much.

I asked the wife about making rape allegations after a drunken romp based on the "too drunk to consent" retelling.
She brought up problems of proof, about who could reliably say what actually happened that night, about how could one possibly defend against such allegations, and about the inequity of granting a female a pass on human autonomy due to alcohol consumption and not the male for drunken failures in judgment/apprehension.
Then I told her that dems are using such allegations about not once but twice by the same accuser to drive Swallwell out.
She scoff-chuckled.

Then again, you see corporate execs doing the same thing, non-profits serving as looting for insiders meanwhile planning coups and fake gay ops to torment normal Americans, a demographic that uses its criminal privilege to besiege normal Americans, etc. etc.

Full-time lesbian bars aren't very profitable because the lesbian dynamic is much different than a straight bar or gay men's bar. Straight and gay bars tend to draw in bigger-spending men, either just to chill among themselves or for predatory reasons.
Lesbian bars are different. Much less booze is bought.

Never, ever send "racy" photos to a developing service.
There is ALWAYS a person looking at the prints before they are returned. This is a basic QC function; are they smeared, over developed, two prints stuck together, etc.
Some have a specific policy - if they find explicit photos, some will destroy the prints AND your negatives. Of those, some will tell you why, and some will just claim machine malfunction and give you a new role if film.
Of the ones that don't have a specific policy, you'll probably get your prints back. Evidently, you got one of those. But... more often than not, a second (or more) set of prints were run and added to the collection of the guy checking the prints.
And if it appears that there are kids in those pics, they'll be turned over to the cops.

Now he's a liability - because he is running for governor and that is splitting the vote so an R might win. He wouldn't resign gracefully, so is getting forced out.

Report from Heartland Institute’s “Climate Realism” Conference: A Celebration of the Tide Turning Against Climate Alarmism
I was in attendance at the Heartland Institute’s “Climate Realism Rising” conference last week. It was a triumphal event, with green energy having fallen out of favor, the EPA’s Endangerment Finding now rescinded, auto manufacturers abandoning EVs, wind farms kneecapped by President Trump, and the public now tuning out the climate hysterics’ failed prophesies of doom.
To be clear, despite the celebratory mood, there was agreement that the left will never relent in their war on fossil fuels, and that we are just one bad election from being put on defense again. The highlight was a keynote speech by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, who is one of the most consequential political figures of my lifetime, because he aggressively retook political ground lost to the left, restoring freedom and prosperity in the process. Having the head of the EPA proudly affirming “climate denial” in front of a group of “climate skeptics” sent the legacy media into paroxysms of partisan anger, as if a heretic had occupied the most holy temple in their church. “Climate Denial Comes to Washington” [NY Times]It might have seemed like a fringe event, except for the high-profile opening speaker: Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and one of President Trump’s possible choices for the next attorney general. The mood in the room was celebratory. The roughly 220 attendees at the gathering at the Hotel Washington, which is a short walk from the White House, treated Zeldin like a rock star, giving him a standing ovation before he had even spoken.Here are some other media headlines: “Zeldin stars at climate denial conference” [Politico] “Lee Zeldin Touts EPA Rollbacks at Climate Denial Conference” [Bloomberg] “Zeldin tells climate skeptics to ‘celebrate vindication’ after repeal of baseline climate rule” [AP] The legacy media is adamant that the politically approved science has been settled, and that only command and control of all economic activity can save the planet. Further, the legacy media demands that the scientific method be prohibited when it comes to climate, so that no climate theory may be challenged nor hypotheses tested. But the media does consider this to be legitimate science. From NPR/PBS: “Same-Sex Couples Face Higher Climate Change Risks, New UCLA Study Shows”
Getting back to Heartland’s Climate Realism conference, here are a few quick overviews of interesting topics that were covered. (There was a lot of additional great material which I’ll likely discuss further in future posts.)
Amidst all the applause for the scientists and activists who helped turn the tide against the climate cult, Marc Morano pointed out that there is one superhero who should receive special recognition for his contribution to our cause, specifically Anthony Fauci. His politically motivated fabulations during Covid brought disgrace to government scientists, and to pretty much anyone else claiming “expertise” in service to the left’s political agenda. The long track record of “climate scientists” falsifying historical temperature records and predicting weather catastrophes that never came to pass makes the comparison to Fauci appropriate.
In short, Covid hysteria killed off climate hysteria. Thank you Anthony Fauci for helping us to fully understand the malevolent dishonesty of government-funded “experts.”
So, the challenge in building new nuclear is that it may make sense as part of a strategy of diversifying fuel options, but it is a hard sell since it will still cost ratepayers more than natural gas.
The “all-in” cost per mWh (including transmission lines, land, construction, engineering, etc) of various forms of electricity production are as follow:
• Natural Gas: $ 40• Coal: $ 90
• Nuclear: $122
• Wind: $291
• Solar: $413 Reliable energy sources are not only cheaper than “green” sources, they have a lower impact on the environment. Wind energy needs 300 times the land footprint to produce the same electricity as one conventional power plant (if the wind is even blowing.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that within the next 5 years, Elon will announce a major push on space-based solar. If he can do for SBS what he did for launch costs, it will shoot to the top of your list, and will require no terrestrial footprint, other than receivers.

Condemnation of Climate Change Critics:
Pope Leo XIV has made strong statements regarding climate change, particularly criticizing those who downplay its significance. He described the impact of rising temperatures as "increasingly evident" and condemned individuals who "ridicule those who speak of global warming." This reflects a continuation of the concerns raised by his predecessor, Pope Francis.

But what if the "increasingly evident" impacts are bunk? Is it anti-Catholic to question the evidence?

In his recent speeches, Pope Leo has emphasized the need for greater action from citizens around the world. He believes that indifference is not an option and has urged people to actively pressure politicians to take climate change seriously. He stated that "only then will it be possible to mitigate the damage done to the environment."

No. The self-immolation of our ridiculous credentialed expert class destroyed public confidence in their lies about climate along with everything else - but that's meaningless.
The rulers don't give a single little dried up rabbit turd about what the public thinks. All other things being equal, they would just do what they always do, which is tell the public "believe our lies or don't, but our lies are law, so just STFU and GFY."
What caused the about-face was other members of the ruling class, ones with big giant gobs of cash (MonsterTech) saying "the next phase of our war on humanity is going to require absolutely staggering amounts of electric generation from every available source. Climate change was yesterday, we need it to be over now."
And so it's over now. It has nothing to do with public opinion. Nothing does.

Well, rightly or wrongly "Because I said so" has been a pillar of the Faith for quite some time. BUT, it only comes into play when he speaks ex cathedra ("from the chair" — meaning from the official seat of his apostolic authority as successor of St. Peter). It applies only to faith and morals — not to science, politics, history, personal opinions, or Church discipline/governance.

AI Overview: Pennsylvania is a major fossil fuel producer, with natural gas providing ~60% of its electricity, which has reduced coal dependence but slowed renewable adoption. The state faces tension between relying on affordable, local natural gas and diversifying into solar, wind, and geothermal to meet emissions goals, despite ranking near the bottom in recent renewable growth.

I doubt what you are saying is an accurate read on the situation. Simply put, Trump did not get elected solely on the basis of prices at the pump. A lot of the big price jumps are actually because of war fear/speculation and that is dropping as the Iranians have to be the ones to break the ceasefire in order to attack the rest of the Gulf Oil producers. Those buying Iranian oil were India and China, not the West for the most part and they were buying it at a discount.

The only thing that changes with control of Congress for PDT, is that he will go from governing by executive order while the GOP refuses to move his agenda, to vetoing a bunch of stuff while they and their Dem friends beat off over pointless impeachment proceedings.

Oil was this high during the Obama administration. Adjusted for inflation oil prices are a good bit lower. 5-6% inflation is a very aggressive estimate for $100/oil. Also $100/oil assumes supply largely doesn't adjust.

There will be a spike in GDP for sure. And in fact, this will probably cause a spike in investment in the US as well which is the most changeable portion of the GDP. Simply put, companies that base their sourcing and supply chains on Middle East oil are being forced to reevaluate. China is weakened (and Xi is still purging folks under the radar even yesterday) in its economy as well.
Right now, the neighborhood of the West may be crummy but we have the best house right now in the neighborhood so we get the investments. Just got news that a new massive electric transformer plant is being built in the US to reverse the fact that somewhere about 70-80 percent now come from China. That is not sustainable.

It's already a year over year comparison at current oil prices vs 2025 prices. If oil remains at $100, that impact would disappear entirely in a 2026 vs 2027 comparison. It's not an accelerating impact.

Loss of purchasing power. Higher prices versus monetary inflation might be considered a distinction without a difference, but it is important for people to understand what’s what.
The “expert” economists are very insistent that distinction is made. Outsourcing jobs, infrastructure, tens of thousands of factories and importing millions of illiterates is “good for the economy” we’re admonished.
Only a fool would actually believe this.

It was all gas. And if oil stays at $100 then the next month inflation on energy will be more or less zero as you say, it looks backward to the previous month. You get a one time transient spike and then that declines (fwiw, take a look at the cobweb theorem for pricing as quantity of demand changes).
Simply put, the economy and voter preference works a bit different than how you perceive it and your fear that people are not sophisticated enough to figure out a package of plusses and minuses is something that is simply not true of voting behavior.
Other than perhaps abortion or gun rights, very few single issue voters around and those are mainly partisans of one side or the other anyway.

But, as Osho said, the people are retarded. Inflation slowing to normal levels is good, but consumers are still upset because of high prices, despite them being 90% Biden's fault. Gas prices are ever-present and directly attributable to Trump's actions, so if they're high, they're going to piss off normy and low-propensity voters. That last group has been key to Trump’s personal success, yet eluded broader Republican support. High gas prices (and the growing, retarded belief we're fighting wars for Israel) is not going to help. Trump still has time, but needs to quickly wrap up Iran and get prices back to his previous, lower, rates.

Expert economists mainly have their jobs (directly or indirectly subsidized) due to international corporations that want global supply chains for the investor class to maximize profits.
These cloud people rely on Keynes' pithy saying in the long run we are all dead. So grab the money while you can. So they put a lot of risk in supply chains to maximize profit. The Covid era showed global supply chains were vulnerable and untenable when shocks to the international system occurred, whether energy, epidemics, or war.

Even more disturbing is that many of NOAA’s official temperature gauges don’t even exist! There are hundreds of old stations that were decommissioned or have mechanically failed. Rather than replace them, NOAA has continued to simply estimate the daily temperature readings from these ghost stations, and then incorporate these fabricated temperature readings into their official temperature database that shows a warming trend.

This is insane, if it is still happening.
The Department of Commerce controls NOAA for some reason, and should order these silly practices ended, immediately.

Actually and I have done research personally on this point for publication regarding economic voting, they tend to vote on a package. E.g. jobs (the local market is what they perceive), wages, cost of a basket of goods (rather than ONE factor), peace (casualties matter), law and order (crime matters), and now immigration.
Too many people here deride average low info voters but ignore the fact that they actually become quite sophisticated if necessary. Low info voters do not have policy preferences at first, they have outcome preferences.

Orban ran explicitly on hating Ukraine - even using posters with Zelensky's picture next to Magyar, whilst his opponent didn't actually make it an issue. Magyar also said that he wasn't automatically going to do anything for Ukraine, only that he was "inclined" toward Europe instead of Russia. That was it.
I've seen several interviews with voters who mentioned "recordings" (not seen anything about them other than the interviews) showing that Orban and his FM were, functionally taking orders from Moscow. Given the history, I can see how that wouldn't play well, IF it's true.

Blinded By The Sight - a limerick
There once was a young man named Lucius
Surrounded by bare ladies' tushes
He threw up his arm
And cried with alarm,
"I can't see the forest for the bushes!"

"...the artist transformed an episode from Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), in which Professor Otto Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel discover a prehistoric forest deep inside the earth. Delvaux showed the professor at left, examining a rock or fossil; behind him stands Axel, who bears a striking resemblance to the artist himself. Under a full moon, a group of women in the background appear like automatons. In the foreground, several figures combine human and vegetal elements; these ambiguous figures seem to embody a primordial, as yet undifferentiated, state. A woman in the right foreground and another in the left middle ground, both in Victorian dress, hold lamps and try in a vain to shed light on the unyielding mystery of the scene."

The Awakening of the ForestDate:
1939
Artist: Paul Delvaux
Belgian, 1897–1994
It began: Paul Delvaux painted The Awakening of the Forest in the late 1930s, after having adopted Surrealism as a visual language to give form to his inner world—one populated with childhood memories and fantasy.
It ended: Despite the multitude of naked figures and their detailed description, The Awakening of the Forest retains a detachment that adds to its strange and mysterious effect.
---
>Wikipedia Overview, in part, "Paul Delvaux was a Belgian painter noted for his dream-like scenes of women, classical architecture, trains and train stations, and skeletons, often in combination."
>Wikipedia, Paul Delvaux: In part, "In 1929, Delvaux first met Anne-Marie de Maertelaere, whom he nicknamed "Tam", and they fell in love. However, his domineering mother forced him to separate from Tam, exacting his promise to never see her again.[24] Delvaux was greatly saddened by this, and his paintings took on a more isolated, lonely, detached tone."

Posted by: Harry Vandenburg at April 13, 2026 10:11 AM (V4IXI)
I saw all 4 episodes.
I wanted to like it and it had some funny parts but overall, it wasn't very good.
Problems:
1) Too "nice". It lacked the real edge of the OG.
2) Too woke - this was the "healing" version where everything and every one was just perfect the way they were. Esp. the trannie- we got a long speech from it at the climax.
3) Too much Hal. Probably because Bryan Cranston is the only real star to emerge from MitM. And I'm sure he demanded extra time and character development.
4) Too tiresome in the "modern" way. I was looking at my watch.
Not horrible but just not very good. Stick with the reruns.

California Democrats are about to “Release The Kamala!”
I told @RCPolitics reporter @susancrabtree Kamala will jump in once Eric Swalwell imploded… and right on cue, a poll is already asking voters if they’d support Kamala Harris.
That would be fucking hilarious from the standpoint of the potato boiler getting humiliated. But since the DNC seems to have chosen her, I suspect Kamala would lose. Dominion can "fix" any ballot, after all.

Will this do?
Israel Hayom: The U.S. has begun enforcing a naval blockade on Iran, targeting all vessels entering and exiting its ports across the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
The move is expected to inflict about $435M in total daily losses across Iran’s exports, roughly $13B per month, even as its oil revenues rose 37% during the war to about $139M per day.
The IRGC had been operating a paid “protection corridor,” charging up to $2M per vessel in crypto, but the blockade could halt exports, disrupt imports, trigger food shortages, and accelerate the collapse of the rial.

Yeah, I was initially confused why Trump was doing this, but it's an excellent way to accelerate the demise of the regime without destroying the infrastructure and putting misery on the Iranian people. And of course it also annoys the ChiComs.

I didn't understand earlier that when he said he's shutting down the Strait, he's allowing ships headed to UAE and other Gulf oil producers to pass. He's just not allowing ships headed to or from Iran to pass. Smart move.

The Morning Report —4/ 13 /26
Good morning kids. Yet again it's the international scene that's grabbing all the attention this morning. we'll get to the latest developements off the Iranian coast in a moment, but first there are a couple of bit stories happening in Europe that might otherwise get lost in the sauce. The disappointing news first comes fromHungary.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban conceded defeat in the parliamentary elections on Sunday, bringing an end to 16 years of governance in Budapest. . . Conceding defeat on Sunday evening, Orbán said: “The election result is painful for us, but understandable. I congratulated the Tisza Party. “No matter how it turned out, we in the opposition will serve our country and the Hungarian nation,” he declared, adding: “We never give up!”
I'm not necessarily in tune with the attitude of the Hungarian people but that they sent a true patriot and a staunch defender of western values, civilization and sanity packing is a head scratcher considering the madness of open borders especially with the invasion of Islamic hordes that have ravaged a significant portion of the rest of the continent. Orbán was a tough, passionate and vocal critic of the EU on this and other issues of national sovereignty, especially the insane push to go to war with Russia over Ukraine, as well as earning the enmity of the homosexual/transexual pervert lobby for his staunch criticism of them and the EU's drive to push their ideology on the Hungarian people. From what I have gathered, the new regime in Hungary will do a very abrupt about-face on all these issues and President Trump and America my lose, at least in the near term, a very key strategic ally. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum of the Hungarians we have the Irish, who really got their Irish up!
So you say you want a revolution? Well, take a look at what’s happening in Ireland right now. Tens of thousands of farmers, truckers, and other fed-up “normies” are taking to the streets of Dublin to protest fuel taxes, mass immigration, and poverty-inducing “climate change” policies. For the most part, corporate news propagandists in both Europe and North America are intentionally ignoring the combustible situation. Just when I had begun to think that all the “fighting Irish” had moved to America, the Old Country has started to show signs of life. Perhaps there are still a few irascible pugilists willing to bash heads and take on the globalist empire after all. . . Although few people saw the present brouhaha coming, Ireland makes a natural “ground zero” in the war between Big Government globalists (aka, the “international rules-based order” club of World Economic Forum totalitarians) and ordinary citizens willing to defend their nation’s sovereignty and their own personal freedoms. For two decades, the globalists have been taking over Ireland and stripping it for parts.Would or could something like this ever happpen here in the USA. I Mean among real Americans and not leftist Antifa rent-a-goons agitating for revolution and committing acts of terorism to overthrow our Republic once and for all? And speaking of Democrat/Leftist terrorism, please pardon the redundancy . . .
Turning Point USA’s “Frontlines” reporter Savanah Hernandez posted multiple videos of mob members opposed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the Minneapolis area seemingly attacking her Saturday. After Hernandez posted photos of one assailant — a man charged in connection with the storming of a St. Paul-area church — Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet K. Dhillon responded in to the post on X. (RELATED: Democrat Candidate Calls For Banning MAGA From Internet)
The only reason Antifa et al can get away with what they get away with, the corruption of the courts and Political cover by their overlords in the Democrat Party aside, is that they know that kyle Rittenhouse notwithstanding we will never preemptively hunt them down and take them out as is their strategy, let alone take up arms to defend ourselves. Because if we ever did, look out. On that orgasmatronic pipe dream, here's a clunky segue to the latest from Iran.
Whoever’s calling the shots in Iran wasted yet another chance for peace over the weekend, and now President Donald Trump will again call Tehran’s bluff.Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
Iran’s negotiators refused to satisfy America’s demands Saturday in talks in Pakistan, as regime leaders bet that playing the Strait of Hormuz card would get Trump to blink.
Instead, he played it right back at them — announcing his own blockade, so that Iran’s oil exports (which had continued despite the war) will also be blocked. The prez is thinking outside the box with this blockade and his plans to escort ships through the Strait; if necessary, he can later order US forces to take Kharg Island and eviscerate the regime’s power base.
This also guarantees that Tehran’s effort to charge a toll on all tankers crossing the Strait will fail — honoring an American commitment to freedom of the seas that goes back to President Thomas Jefferson, the Barbary Pirates and the US Marines’ triumphant excursion “to the shores of Tripoli.”
Of course Iran’s rulers (whoever they are at this point) responded with fresh bluster, vowing a “strong and forceful response” to Trump’s move and huffing that it would end the cease-fire.
Utter bull: Tehran has almost no offensive capabilities left except those that threaten Strait shipping, and those assets can now be eliminated as completely and readily as the rest of its Navy, missile launchers and drone capabilities already were.
It can’t seriously mine the Strait without choking off its own exports, nor can that blockade last once America and its allies’ minesweepers, backed by the US Navy, get down to work.
Trump’s blockade won’t much impact Europe or the Americas, while our Middle Eastern allies are switching to export routes that don’t rely on the Strait; it’s Iran and its allies (mainly China) that will now suffer most. Beijing and its dependents in Moscow will soon regret vetoing the UN Security Council measure to reopen the Strait.
Meanwhile, the Iranian hardliners behind this lunacy will face more internal pressure from other regime factions; everything they’ve tried to do has blown up in their faces.
They assumed America would be help captive by conventional wisdom; our president proved them wrong.
Trump once again tried to reach a peaceful settlement; the Iranians again refused: Now they’ll pay yet a higher price for thinking they could get him to chicken out.
- AMERICA & ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN!
- The prez is thinking outside the box with this blockade and his plans to escort ships through the Strait; if necessary, he can later order US forces to take Kharg Island and eviscerate the regime’s power base. This also guarantees that Tehran’s effort to charge a toll on all tankers crossing the Strait will fail — honoring an American commitment to freedom of the seas that goes back to President Thomas Jefferson, the Barbary Pirates and the US Marines’ triumphant excursion “to the shores of Tripoli.”
Trump brilliantly calls Iran’s bluff — with his own Strait of Hormuz blockade
- Faced with leftists, quislings, and cowards, Trump has announced a new phase to the Iranian conflict. It’s so crazy-courageous, it should definitely work.
With the peace talks ended, Trump has a powerful, brilliant new plan for Iran
- President Donald Trump announced Sunday the U.S. Navy will begin blockading ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the news coming after he said Iran promised to open the strait but ultimately did not.
‘We Are Fully Locked and Loaded’ — President Trump: U.S. Navy Blockades Strait of Hormuz
- Iran thought they had the world over an (oil) barrel. Turns out they signed their own economic death warrant. The blockade is an inspired tactic pushed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and former Green Beret-turned-UN Ambassador Mike Waltz as the logical next step after the Chinese and Russians last week vetoed the UN Security Council resolution led by the Gulf States for international cooperation to reopen the Hormuz Strait.

- Criticism of strikes on Iranian infrastructure clashes with claims that the IRGC controls much of the economy, making such targets central to degrading its military power.

- The details of the amazing search & rescue effort to recover a downed American pilot in Iran last weekend has been covered quite thoroughly in the media, especially the alternative press.

Even if you oppose Trump’s present actions against Iran, Steeve’s reveals a fundamental aspect of the American way of war that illustrates again the best part of America.

Into Iranian territorial waters. Which they did.
Looking at live commercial shipping via MarineTraffic's website there are 3 flagged vessels in the Strait; 2 from China and an Iranian one. I'm sure there are others running without AIS on so they're not being tracked.
But, Iran's ploy to divert commercial traffic and make money despite the issues they've caused in the Hormuz proper is failing. People that claim Trump's plan is failing don't understand what's happening. Countries that depend on petroleum products from Iran are either dealing directly with the US or going without.
China, Russia and the EU are front and center in this thing.

Drove up solo 3 hours ago to our vacation house in northern Israel to maintain numerous things. Plan to drive back to Jerusalem this evening.
Because of the war, the last time we were here was 6-7 weeks ago. Garden is wild but I won't ask our gardener to come when we're not at home, under the circumstances.
Lotsa booms and sirens further away just after I drove in. Noise was combo of intercepted Hizballah drones and bombing north of the border. The latter has been pretty much non-stop since I've been here and continues as I type. Same with jet noise in the background.
Think I'll get some shuteye - in the secure room. Maybe l8r.

John Nolte broke it down: (Swallwell's) sacrifice will break the three-way tie between the three top Democrats — Swalwell, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer — and once Swalwell’s 15 percent support moves to the other two, one or both is certain to go on to compete in the general election, which practically ensures Democrats hold onto California’s governor’s seat.

Nailed it.
I was just telling the wifey: last time I watched a SpaceX spashdown, they hoisted the entire capsule and dropped it on the retrieval ship -- from which they proceeded to remove each astronaut.
I'm watching this recent shitshow, and I'm like "Why the fuck are they removing the astronauts and flying them by helicopter one-by-one to the ship? Fucking idiocy ... but I expect no less from NASA (I honestly am thrilled and surprised that they didn't screw the DEI Pooch on this mission).

Swalwell should be in prison for espionage but I don't believe these allegations. It's the standard Democrat playbook. Someone is running for office so we'll get a bunch of women to claim he touched their no-no squares an unspecified period of time in the past when they couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.
If it takes supporting Swalwell in this moment to prevent the Democrats from having a Gubernatorial candidate on ballot this year, and - hopefully - helping end this tactic, I'm in support. Not financially, you understand, and I don't live in Cali but I'm totally in support.

Trump liberates Venezuela and the American companies can go back to their legitimate business of developing oil and gas fields in Venezuela. Our petrochemical companies now have more oil to sell.
Trump invites the buys of Middle East oil to buy from the US.
Trump then closes the Straight of Hormuz.
Everyone will be coming to the US for oil now. Profit while you can. Buy some US oil/gas stocks because they are going to be flush with cash...

The ship that picked them up is an LPD (Landing Platform Dock) that has a well deck designed to retrieve those Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs).
Seems it would have been faster and simpler than using the choppers. In fact, when they finally got them all into the "front porch" and cast off from the capsule they looked like shipwreck survivors in a lifeboat.

There is no confusion nor juxtaposition with who Jesus is. But I would never represent myself or anyone else as being on that level. Not Trump. Not any man. Especially as some sort of snarky argument. It’s not even a close call. And BTW it’s hard to argue with the substance of the Pope’s central argument which is that Jesus was a pacifist- and you know better than most there is a meaty argument to be made for that.
That said, the Pope seems hopelessly biased. His statements are selective and seemingly targeted at people who are conservative. There is nothing from the papacy about the anti life platform of Democrats. No clear statement when he meets with people like Axelrod who supports abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality and most of the Catholic beliefs. It’s all about Trump, which reveals his true human bias- and frankly people are sick of it.

The Gay of Hormuz?
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at April 13, 2026 08:53 AM (Zz0t1)
The Trump administration...set down numerous “red lines” during the Islamabad talks this past weekend, including demanding that Iran end all uranium enrichment—which Iran has a right to conduct under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons—and dismantle its major nuclear energy facilities.
After the single day of talks faltered, Trump announced a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, an illegal act of war that critics warned could plunge the two sides into a deeper conflict.
US Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said in an interview on Sunday that American lawmakers “need to do whatever we can to get [Trump] out” of office, calling the president’s war on Iran “illegal,” “a war crime,” “immoral,” and disastrous for the American public.
“Impeachment, invoke the 25th Amendment, push for him to resign, whatever it is,” Jayapal told MS NOW. “This is so grave of a situation.”

In the old days the right would raise the corruption inherent in government spending and the left would argue that the right just hated black or poor Americans. LIVs would usually tune out because hey, *I* could need government aid at some point!
I suspect now that a substantial percentage of government spending is going to illegals, refugees, and legal immigrants there is a possibility here for the right to hammer how these programs are no longer there for Americans. Trump's people some times make this argument but not usually the GOP...

What was in the "maternity" section wasn't stuff you could wear past the second month, or was in very-much-not-white-people colors. At least, that was my experience two years ago. It's why I was so happy finding my 14-year-old maternity clothes recently in the attic. Our thrift stores are pretty picked over, because people keep having babies here.

While this is true, 2 wrongs don't make a right. And Trump was very, very wrong last night. Someone should have stopped him from posting that pic. It's the kind of error that defines presidencies. Now, the story will be Trump doesn't want to be A King, he wants to be THE King, a literal God. And that if anything, the opposition underestimated his pride and his ego...and pride goeth before the fall...

Of course he said that. But nobody could possibly believe that. The price of friendship with Brussels is submission to Islam, period. You'd have to be willfully ignoring everything about the EU to believe that bullshit.
Hungarians know that - they are just willing to sell their country to Arabs for a fistful of German nickels.
Oh well, that's a them problem. I'll just laugh as it happens to them. Unlike most EU countries, they didn't get rooked into what's happening - they asked for it.

"The left eats their own" he's a fucking rapist. That said, Al Franken is still owed an apology.
It’s the liberal Achilles heel: if something is bad, it can only be ultra mega unforgivably bad, so all bad things are equivalent and anyone caught being fallible is morally the same thing as Trump. See: Al Franken.
Good, there are plenty of other candidates and splitting the vote could have been bad. Hope we get a few drop outs for other reasons than sexual misconduct
What a novice. Everyone knows if you want to be a politician and a rapist, you need to run as a republican. Why can’t more dems pull a reverse-fetterman and just infiltrate the GOP as a right wing candidate. Once elected they take off the mask and just do dem things.
At least the Democrat circular firing squad sometimes does the right thing. And at least we are better at holding other Democrats accountable for their actions. Republicans can't make that claim.
Sounds like a tough load to swalwell.

No country survives the EU. It's just national suicide. The die was cast once they became a member state... Orban staved it off for awhile, but this probably inevitable in the end.

As to why it might not reflect the will of the electorate, that is a good point. You know who's to blame for that? Orban. Orban gerrymandered the districts in his country thinking they'd make his majority ironclad. What it did instead was expose his constituency in the event Orban started to suck, and suck he did, with notable corruption scandals.

Muslim Man Charged in $500M California Warehouse Fire'
---
Worth Sharing
3d
A disgruntled immigrant worker accused of setting a massive warehouse fire is now facing life in prison—after previously suing his former employer over lost pay.
Authorities say 29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim allegedly set fire to a huge Kimberly-Clark warehouse in Ontario, California, destroying the nearly 1.2-million-square-foot facility. The blaze was so intense that more than 140 firefighters were needed to bring it under control.
In a video reportedly posted online, he is seen lighting paper goods while repeatedly saying:
“All you had to do was pay us enough to live.”
As pallets catch fire in the distance, Abdulkarim says: “There goes your inventory.”
The fire spread rapidly due to highly flammable paper products inside the warehouse. Around 20 employees were inside when it started, but no injuries were reported.
Investigators also revealed that Abdulkarim had filed a 2024 lawsuit against PrimeFlight, claiming unpaid wages and missed break times. The case was dismissed in 2025, reportedly ending in a settlement.

1. Its been 16 years! No American President has ever served that long. Orban was already defying political gravity coming into this election.
2. Very much relatedly, I don't think people here appreciate the absolute scale of the corruption we're talking about under Orban. While Orban looked like MAGA when viewed from America, when viewed from Budapest he looked more like Biden's "10 percent for the big guy." And it got worse every year for 16 straight years. He basically created a mini Deep State of his friends and cronies to sit on top of Hungarian society. This was THE biggest issue in this election.
3. Some on this thread say Hungary is caring too much about the EU and selling out its future for a few German nickels or something. Please look at a map. Please note that Hungary is ENTIRELY surrounded by EU member states or candidates, with one and only one exception -- Ukraine. It would be like Iowa declaring itself separate from the USA.

Most edits of card punching errors are simply throw the bad card away and make a new one.
There were keypunch machines that had a one-line buffer that you could modify and create a new card, so on those machines you could fix a fuck up versus retyping the whole damned thing.
The US Army used card decks up to the mid 1980s; I had to get my brigade's unit status report punched onto a card deck from a hand filled out data sheet. The keypunch operators were pretty fucking good and would point out where I fucked up filling out the form and offered to fix it on the fly versus making me redo the form.

Finally completed changing out the turbo and the left front wheel bearing on the Volvo V70.
Now, as soon as the dealership gets the replacement right front axle and installs it under warranty, and completes the wheel alignment, she should be good to go for quite some time.
While not tremendously difficult, changing the turbo requires some serious gymnastics and contortions in order to move all the fiddly bits around to remove and reinstall them from both above, and below the vehicle.
So.....I'm stiff all over right now.

Well, it's close to having a typist that can accurately and consistently type an 80 character line with no errors; unlike a typewritten page, you can't remove a hole in a punch card.
That's a real skill, IMO. I had punched up a card deck for a FORTRAN program back in the late 1970s just to see what it was like. Once. Never wanted to or did do that shit again.
A typist would have had to do something like that only for an entire page of text prior to the invention of "Liquid Paper" or other correction fluids/tapes; those tech improvements for normal typing happened between ~1960 and ~1975.

I remember the little white tapes for typing correction. My typewriter for many years was a big standard Underwood, and i was not a touch typist then. So I had lots of corrections to make.
You could still buy the ribbons for the Underwood at Woolworth's then.
I still have the Underwood, but I despair of finding someone local who could repair it to operating condition. So I may not keep it.

Back to Back Green Jackets for Rory Rory McIlroy wins Masters, first to repeat since Tiger Woods
Photo from Masters.com
Rory McIlroy had to wait more than a decade to win the Masters and complete the career Grand Slam. He only had to wait a year to take home a second green jacket. After squandering a six-stroke lead in Saturday's third round, McIlroy briefly lost the lead again Sunday before taking control on the second nine at Augusta National to become the first back-to-back Masters champion since Tiger Woods in 2001-02 and the fourth overall (Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo).Quite an accomplishment. Though I was disappointed that the presentation of the coveted green jacket came from the chairman of Augusta National instead of a previous champion. Or even better - one of the other 3 who were repeat champions. When I win back to back Masters, I will demand my 2nd jacket be presented by Jack, Nick, Tiger, or Rory!
The Pirates broadcast recreated the Masters intro perfectly. ⛳️

----- Moving from golf to hockey. Are we close to the end for Ovi? Alex Ovechkin leaves door open on return to Capitals next season amid NHL retirement rumors
Alex Ovechkin was the man of the hour as the Washington Capitals defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins by a score of 3-0 in the final home game of the 2025-26 NHL season. As the Caps stayed alive in the playoff race, the Russian star kept every option on the table with a comment on his future. *** If Capitals fans hoped to see more signs that Ovi may return next season, there was another after the final horn went off. As Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and the Penguins waited on the ice to shake hands with Ovechkin after the game, the Russian star waved them off. During his postgame press conference, Ovechkin made that clear with a concise statement. “[I waved them off] because I haven’t decided yet. Thanks to them for waiting out there,” Ovechkin, who also thanked Crosby after a potential final game, told reporters after the 3-0 win. If Ovechkin ends up retiring after the 2025-26 NHL season, several players on the Penguins may regret they couldn’t share one last moment with Ovechkin on an NHL rink. However, Ovechkin revealed—to no one’s surprise—that he met privately with Crosby and Malkin after the game.The Caps are still in the hunt for a playoff berth. They need to win their last game on Tuesday and get help from Carolina and Montreal, the final 2 opponents for the Flyers. Current mood for Caps fans like me
A U.S. appeals court on Friday declared unconstitutional a nearly 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling, calling it an unnecessary and improper means for Congress to exercise its power to tax. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled in favor of the nonprofit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members. They argued that people should be free to distill spirits at home, whether as a hobby or for personal consumption including, in one instance, to create an apple-pie-vodka recipe. *** Andrew Grossman, who argued the nonprofit's appeal, called the decision "an important victory for individual liberty" that lets the plaintiffs "pursue their passion to distill fine beverages in their homes." "I look forward to sampling their output," he said.I imagine some of you may have experience distilling your own hooch. Anyone care to fess up? ----- I enjoy onion rings. Do you? Well, someone likes them WAY too much! Steak 'n Shake employee shot, killed during argument over onion rings
A Steak n" Shake employee was shot and killed during an argument over onion rings. A Steak ’n Shake employee was shot and killed in north St. Louis County late Wednesday night following a confrontation at the drive-thru, according to police. *** Community leaders say the shooting reflects broader concerns about rising violence in the region. “We should no longer be surprised,” James Clark of the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis told KMOV. “The rate of violence that is happening in the St. Louis metropolitan area should be alarming to all of us.” Clark told KMOV outreach efforts such as violence de-escalation programs are making progress, but added that cultural attitudes toward violence are shifting. “Crime and violence is becoming a more and more accepted and expected culture,” he told KMOV. “How do we begin to look at what we’re currently doing that is getting results? How do we begin to come up with new adaptations to what we’re doing?” He told KMOV part of the solution could include businesses incorporating de-escalation techniques into customer service training.De-escalation techniques?? AYFKM??? Maybe get back to actual punishment for crime and stop letting criminals back out on the streets!!
Before I ever styled a look book, I staged houses for real estate as a job while in college. My sole purpose was to make strangers fall in love with a space in 60 seconds flat. I learned fast that color is the ultimate mood-setter, whether it’s a bold lip or statement wallpaper. It has been almost 5 years since we built this house and I am ready to make a few changes. The trend that has me obsessed? Colored sinks, tubs, toilets, and faucets. Designers are playing with soft pastels, candy-bright pops, and earthy tones that feel fresh, fun, and surprisingly sophisticated. I’m here for every single second of it. After a long run of all-white everything, 2026 is embracing personality, warmth, and heritage. I love a clean spa moment, but just like my house, it starts feeling a bit… anonymous. Designers are calling it a “heritage revival” or “nostalgic comfort”—think dopamine décor with a grounded, biophilic twist. Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year, Cloud Dancer (a soft, weightless off-white), is a super neutral backdrop for these colorful statements. If you prefer a warmer, more yellow undertone neutral, Greek Villa by Sherwin Williams is tried and true.
The colored-fixture comeback is the perfect way to add “look-at-me” energy without committing to a full overhaul. A single jade green vanity sink or a blush-pink clawfoot tub instantly makes the room feel curated and collected.
Current color stars for 2026 bathroom fixtures:
• Sage, jade, and forest green — calming yet modern (huge with black or brass hardware)
• Blush pink and peach — flirty and feminine without being twee
• Teal and turquoise — bold but still spa-like
• Warm terracotta or biscuit tones — tying into the bigger earthy-neutral wave
How do you actually use colored fixtures and avoid it feeling chaotic? Let the color be the hero, then build everything else around it. 1. Pick one statement color. Don’t do a rainbow explosion. And while matching all the fixtures is very cool, one colored sink or tub is fine, too. Everything else (tiles, walls, hardware) should play support. PS. Don’t be afraid to add a matching toilet , a toilet is a lot easier to change than tile, so what’s the big deal? 2. Balance with neutrals and texture. Pair your colored fixture with warm whites, greige, or natural wood. Matte black or brushed brass/gold hardware looks killer against pastels. Add texture—linen towels, woven baskets, stone countertops—to keep it grounded. 3. Echo the color subtly elsewhere. Pull the hue into a shower curtain, art, or even grout. 4. Scale matters. In small baths, a colored pedestal sink or wall-mount faucet keeps things airy. In larger spaces, go for a freestanding colored tub as the showstopper.
If you’ve been stuck in neutral-land or just craving a little more you in your home, this is your sign. Colored fixtures are the easiest way to inject personality without starting over. ----- Thanks, Piper - glad to see color re-emerging after the overload of monochromatic stuff from the past 10-15 years!

I had the world's best G&T at a bar in Rome called The Gin Corner. Was there for a scientific conference in 2017, saw the sign, and said "I gotta drink there!"
Bartender spoke excellent English, and we talked about Italian gin and American gin: east coast and west coast. Extra points because they had Bluecoat from Philadelphia: I was on the tasting panel that created it.
The G&T: A stemmed balloon glass, a big ice cube (melts slowly); three to five juniper berries, crushed gently with the flat of your knife; the juice from a wedge of lime (do not drop the lime in: it adds bitterness), Italian gin, and excellent tonic.

What, in your upbringing, leaves you so devoid of morals that murder is anywhere on your list of "how to deal with a fast-food order?"
Guy should be hung from the St Louis arch and left there until the crows pick him clean. And then left there longer until he crumbles into dust. Maybe some concrete visual examples will help, if parents can't.

Friend of mine renovated her home and wanted to keep some vintage elements, like the pink and blue tiles in one bathroom. She could not find those colors anymore, and the contractor told her yeah, you just can't find 'em, you'd have to get custom tiles and still, good luck getting the colors right.
It amazed me. You'd think you could get any color of paint, tile, fabric -- but some of those colors are acknowledged to be beautiful, but unattainable.

I’ve done reporting in Hungary & people are applying an inaccurate US-framing to the election result. The opposition that won in Hungary came out of Orban’s Fidesz party. The Tisza party is also right-wing, just less skeptical of the EU. They are anti-mass migration & pro-family.

I'd suggest it morally and legally be applied to any taxpayer who filed returns that included W-2 income for any of the last 40 years. "Our" government has ably demonstrated that it has been fiscally *corrupt* and used OUR taxes to enrich themselves. Tax payers who worked two jobs to make ends meet or who worked one in an awful field should be absolved if their tax payment records aren't pristine.

Ah. I don't know how you feel about hardwood floors, but I uncovered some under a 1984 Provincial berber carpet once. Then I got scratching... the grey fireplace had actual rosy bricks underneath it, and terra cotta tiles under a fugly strip of wood-patterned linoleum.
Oh, and the dining room had the same ugly wood-patterned linoleum... covering the actual wooden floor.

Tisza is going to run the Virginia playbook - campaign as "moderates", and then immediately start pushing through left-wing policies that they never mentioned before the election.

Get the Artemis II toilet paper dispenser: a small electric motor dispenses it a square at a time through a narrow slot, while an LCD display reports on the progress, and the number of squares remaining on the roll. And it only took 8 years to develop, and costs $40,900 per unit.

Agree with you on that. My Alberta house here does have a pedestal sink, but it's because the bathroom is tiny, and the sink is on the same wall as the heating radiator, so enclosing that is a "no way." But I took the pedestal out, because it does not support the sink, and just makes it harder to mop the floor.

It’s interesting to note that every country on the planet outlaws home distillation (without paying a prohibitive tax, permitting, etc) with the exception of New Zealand. The legality there is said to have been the result of a legislative error, not for any reasons of common sense or sanity.
In the US there are a patchwork of different laws at the state and even county level. In some states it is perfectly legal to own a Still, but you cannot use it, however. Some Counties prohibit possession, which is probably why Andy and Barney went after those spinster sisters in Mayberry.
Finally, the legislation that decriminalized home brewing beer and winemaking in the 1970s was said to have included home distillation as well, but this was somehow deleted from the final bill through an error in transcription and did not make it into law.

After decades of neglect and decay, we're finally rehabbing the old concrete house my grandfather built about a hundred years ago. Sturdy structure, but needs a lot of work.
The old kitchen sink is green, the very color of that bathroom sink above. Nice wide basin with two drainboards. Old and heavy iron.
The faucet set had rotted away, so, decades ago, I went looking for a replacement. Went into Huffman's plumbing and described what I was looking for to a young fellow, who looked at me like I was from an alternate dimension. An older employee was no more helpful.
So, they wheeled (not literally) old man Huffman himself out to listen to the crazy customer, and he said, "Oh, fourteen inch center-to-center with a forty-five degree offset base." Yes! I exclaimed, that's it! Hopes rose.
Shook his head and said, "I haven't seen one of those in years! (Shoulders droop.)
Fortunately, now, in this age of World Wide Webbing, Daughter has found a supplier of just what we need. And she's even found kitchen appliances to match the color.

To save $ in a guest bathroom in the basement, we painted the existing cabinets a shiny dark teal color with framed mirror, fake marble counter was installed a new shower. Dark drawer pulls.Wood floor.
Kitchen is neutral with dark cherry cabinets,& hand made cream tiles backsplash, under the wooden hood.Unique granite counters.French vibe.LOVE
Bathrooms have dark faucets, etc, oiled bronze or something & square tub and sinks in the main bathroom.
I admire you but don't think I could deal with colored sinks,etc, after seeing an aunt's pink or aqua bathrooms,from 60's. I'd rather jazz up half bath with wall paper & mirror if I had my way (he hates wallpaper).

Nah. My mother's green velvet couch was an extra bed at times (70's). Brothers played in there with railroads and similar. Danced in there with one of those long stereo/ turntable pieces of furniture with the ability to tape yourself. Huge thing. We also had a famiy room for tv. Nothing was sacred in that house. We didn't wipe mud or eat pizza on the velvet couch, but it was not a museum.
With antiques in my LR, nothing is sacred there, either for my grands who grew up all over this house. The cream couch looks antique but we bought it off the floor of a store in FL and it has Sunbrella fabric that I can wipe (and have) chocolate off of. It looks twee, I'll admit that. But it ain't. Antique chairs from my grandmother recovered and have handled the little monkeys. Antique and beat up oak coffee table from Belgium is not precious. Antique rosewood piano has taken a beating fron 3 generations.
It's stupid to have stuff and not use it.

If you understand the role of your pastor, that's a decent standpoint to understanding the role of a bishop. The Pope is also a bishop, of Rome.
It is nice when you go from parish to parish and everyone more-or-less agrees on the same doctrines, same Bible, same hymnal.
The notion is that some entity has to herd all these cats. The question being whether we want the bishops to agree on a single person as their leader, or - as in Orthodoxy - if we are all okay with several nations having their own patriarchs (and then what happens if the patriarchs disagree?).
This is not a comment to pick a side, just to explain the stakes.

I’ve done reporting in Hungary & people are applying an inaccurate US-framing to the election result. The opposition that won in Hungary came out of Orban’s Fidesz party. The Tisza party is also right-wing, just less skeptical of the EU. They are anti-mass migration & pro-family.
Posted by: Methos at April 12, 2026 10:20 PM (vSvIl)
I communicate regularly with a retired professor who lives outside of Budapest. I was at the Mariners - Astros game today and when I saw Orban lost, I immediately wondered what she thought. She is an Orban supporter, primarily because as a kid she grew up in Communism and has the bad stories to share. I got home from the afternoon game and saw she emailed me.
She is distraught with the result, said the new guy Magyar is not a conservative, not as strong on borders (Hungary is next to Russia) and said now that Orban is gone, he was the only EU vote to keep them from sending billions to Ukraine, and generally being the stupid shitheads the EU seems to have as leaders. She is convinced this vote will cause that war to grow, Hungary will get involved and EU leaders to go even more leftist.

Nah. We are DONE. It took off and on for over 2yrs as this place is big. It had a great yard and great bones but was hideous inside when we bought it in 2015. Repainted outside and fixed porch railing while the deck was ripped off the back and replaced. I lived in a warzone for months.
I called it 40 Shades of Mustard. Every room a different shade of dingy yellow. Sometimes the wrong type of paint as HS kids did it (we were told). With beige almost shag carpet. Chy knee woman who apparently had a wee oil fire in the kitchen as the pine floor and ceiling had burnt places near the oven. It did not make me weep like our first house in 1985, but it came close before paint, etc. Strange men in the house for months.
Worth it! All I ever dreamed of, and our second house we built in FL was perfection. If I could have I would have moved it here but I couldn't.

This. We had a living room that wasn't used much (outside of decorating for Christmas), but it was never off limits. No couch was ever covered with plastic. But we were expected to not drop food on the carpet and to clean it up immediately if we did. And on furniture.
Same goes in my house today. (Except maybe the carpet bit. Honestly, I'm just planning to replace it all at some point, and tell the guy tearing out the old stuff, "Yeah, it was a design they called 'calico' back in the day.")

*Raises hand*
I moved into a house built in 1959, with a bathroom with a brownish pink (sorta like "flesh" in the paint-by-numbers crafts) toilet, sink and bathtub.
We lasted about 5 years, and out it came. Well, not the tub, it was cast iron and In place, like that orange and pink pictured above. Along with replacing the toilet and sink with white, the way G-d intended, we replaced the pink tile with ivory, removed the sliding glass doors on the tub, removed the swag chain globes that gave practically no light, AAAND ripped off the metallic wallpaper featuring French poodles and Eiffel Towers.
There's fashion and there's style. Fashion is tiring, which is why it's replaced regularly. That bathroom was fashion.

To answer the question: "I imagine some of you may have experience distilling your own hooch. Anyone care to fess up?"
The answer is "yes" - have done. My father used to have a small winemaking operation he ran in eastern Canada using California grapes purchased by a small syndicate of friends - My parents owned vacation/retirement property there (they were US citizens - but really loved Atlantic Canada). Anyway - after a time he had one of the more mechanical guys fabricate a still which he used to first make grappa - then, later distilling other things. His "moonshine" wasn't bad. After he passed away and my sister and I inherited all the property I went up to sell off all the equipment to the rest of the syndicate but not before donning some coveralls and fermenting and distilling one last batch of poteen with the boys. That last batch was, to quote to The Great Escape, "*cough cough* smooth." Alas, I miss those days

.......................................
When we were house hunting in 2015 we came across a house that had to have mooselimb owners/builders. A bidet.Which was not that alarming but unusual. BUT!
The thing I laughed at with our realtor was this:
The bathroom had a window to the tub/shower. And the bed in the master bedroom faced it. (We are supposed to say, "principal" bathrooms now vs master. I guess cause of slaves or DEI or #MeToo. Unsure.
To get up there, where the toilet was as well, was about 3 tiled steps that would be wonky in the dark o' night. We'd have had issues with that first before the strip/shower show.
I laughed at the thought of the shower show for my husband waiting in bed like a shiekh. Super weird.

And then, on the other end, apparently the young 'uns now, so used to text speak and the crap on social media, think any well-written piece, hell, just competently written is AI generated.
That is, if they see a paragraph or two written by someone who knows proper grammar, proper punctuation, and has a slight ability to use that knowledge to compose their thoughts into readable text, they will think it's AI.
And the AI-based "AI text detector" applications, which has been trained on the sub-literate typical text and social media posting by dummies, will also flag it as AI-generated.

One of the most horrific bathroom designs I ever saw was the this open space and open window bathroom design. The damned toilet was basically sitting out in the open, and there were big windows all around.
Imagine a two-car garage area with a sink against one wall, a shower over there, and a bathtub scattered around, and then a toilet sort of in the middle of it. YUGE, wide space all around, and then long windows all along the walls, opening the whole space up to the outside.

I was looking at some floor plan schematics of the Orion capsule. The shitter was in the floor. Imagine you're standing on a floor. There's a door you open, like a trap door. That opens up a little closet, lying sideways below floor level.
Remember, it's zero-g. You open that door, "lie down" "horizontally" and sit in that little space in the floor. That was the toilet space.

Piper, I loved the green tub+wallpaper above (even though I mostly despite wallpaper). Had some nice masculine energy. I mostly like the house I'm in right now, lots of wood trim and several areas it's 'wainscotting' with calming dark woods (or dark-stained woods). Lots of white, which is bland, but the one room that's not, the previous owner did... alternating blue and yellow walls. For some reason. Haven't gotten around to repainting it, it's position last on my home improvement list. Most of the floors are either tile or "wood veneer", the only one with carpet is the den. I have no idea what might be under it, other than they used GOOD treated wood - no termites ever on this place and it's older than I am.

I could have handled that...but not the floor show shower window nor the tiled stairs to get to that part of the bathroom from the bedroom. Sink elsewhere. It was very weird. Or unique.
We cracked up. Our realtor knew after the first day that I was a nutcase and she liked me a lot.
We'd go look at a house. I'd see 3 playgrounds next to our backyard of no trees and nope! I think she thought briefly that I hated children (quite the opposite).
I explained to her the privacy we had in FL, etc and she understood I was not totally mean. We found a house almost as good without children surrounding me and a mountain view out my windows.
I love our grands, just not other people's grands every single day in my backyard.

You mean like water damage? Well the teak itself is pretty water and rot resistant, but you might end up being a wee bit of a slave to it. Theoretically it would have to be sealed every few months with teak oil if you want to keep its color and water resistance. It would need to be installed over a good backer board along with a water proofing membrane, and it needs to have airflow behind it because its not mildew proof. Its a bit complex, but it can be done. The fixtures have the escutcheons to help with not having water get behind it, but you would use a clear silicone to seal up the holes where the pipes come out as a fail safe.

It tends to pulls things away, and down, and out of the air. Which is very important, but taken for granted. This is why space toilets are so difficult.
Here's a little video showing what a stream of water looks it in zero-g. That should give you a sense of what peeing would be like. You've got to have air flow to suck that away into some container.

There's an old claw-foot tub, waaaayyy out back. And there's an antique farm sink, the kind with built-in drainboard on the side. And then there's the old toilet we pulled from downstairs powder room...
We talked about putting up some lattice walls, out in the back yard, and placing these old fixtures within. Nothing functional, just a bathroom-themed garden spot. Turn the tub & toilet into planters and the sink into a potting station.
Or something like that.
Never built it. Old tub is still mired in the dirt out back, LOL.

You know, it would not be impossible to mount the bathtub on a motor-driven platform to lower it by half its depth for entry/exit. Or simply have a sunken bathtub, with a step at the far end from the faucet, and a good solid chrome steel handrail to hang onto while stepping in or out.

I grew up in a house with a bath and a half. There were seven of us. We had a well so when you were in the bathroom Dad was banging on the door screaming at us that we were draining the well. It was so great to hear us screaming at us just as we had just lathered up our hair.

JQ, that little bathroom garden would be pretty friggin' amazing! That is such a great idea. If you need some cash, those old tubs and fixtures are worth good money, I tend to have home improvement tv on in the daytime while I tend to the kitchen and laundry etc., and trust me, people pay big bucks for them.
fourseasons, you rock, so many of your comments reflect how I feel. I'd like to buy you a drink too.
If I ever move and "redo" what I move into I am sticking with traditional white fixtures, they are probably a lot cheaper than the latest color trend ones. Wallpaper does not belong in a bathroom, I don't care how strong your exhaust fan is. Keep it simple, new rugs, towels and paint can transform the room anytime you choose.

Yes. And if the ground floor is parking stalls, or shop bays, you want as much open floor space as you can get, so plumbing and heating utilities will be on a wall, or even in an outside lean-to, and all plumbing and wiring will run up the inside of the exterior walls.
If I had the money to have a nice barndominium built, I would include an elevator inside the building to get from shop to living quarters. Also a half-bath in the shop, with a large sink in a countertop. Have a nice veranda around the upstairs living quarters, on 2 sides at least, with an outside staircase to the ground, to serve as both fire escape, and alternate entry to living quarters if power fails to the elevator.

See thats the problem. The room is 9x12. 12 foot long, 9 foot wide. On one side is the vanity. Its 5ft wide with a single sink, so there's enough room to make a frigging pizza on either side of the sink. After the vanity you got 7 feet of wall, and the only thing on it is the toilet near the end which at that point its practically in it's own zip code. On the other wall is a closet thats just deep enough to where I can walk in and close the door behind me, but not overly wide. Right after the closet is the jacuzzi. Mrs B would shoot me if I shrunk that closet, its practically her stock room, and the depth of it isn't the issue anyway. There is 100" of room after the closet. The new tub would take up 60" leaving 40" left, which isn't much of a shower. If I went with a regular tub thats 60" plus 4 1/2" for the wall that would have to be built to cap the end so its in between walls as normal. That leaves 34 1/2 " left. Wasted space. There just isn't enough wall on the jacuzzi side to put both a soaker tub and a large shower, or even a small shower.

White is usually cheaper. I went with white in the last house, but the bling came with the tile, listello border, accent tiles and marble floor I put in. The sink was a pedestal, but a wider one with space on each side of the sink to rest things if needed. The pedestal sink was used because it was a smaller 9X7 bathroom and it made a lot of floor room for your feet so you weren't kicking a vanity, and any vanity in there would just look small and worthless. The sink and toilet were a matching set from a kohler "collection", (Devonshire I think) that had a kind of old world thing happening. Coupled with an emerald green marble floor and that sucker looked like it came out of an ancient palace, and I'm not a green fan. The white fixtures are what made it work.

Dumb Idea? Would you go into a gunfight with something like this?

Watching and listening to this guy is how I finally learned to properly put an edge on cutting tools. In addition to being a useful skill to have, it also opens an entirely new rabbit hole of obsession and compulsiveness.

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

Not all. Your Colt AR won't work w/ a lot of H&K accessories because H&K uses a short stroke piston. The SR-15 from KAC has a bunch of proprietary parts in it even though it's a DI firearm like a basic AR.

Pain in the butt to retrue surfaces without a mill. I simply buy new stones at that point. Use synthetic for touchy expensive stuff (Spyderco), cheaper India stones and metal files for mass removal of material, and have Ouachita stones for finer edges on things I care about. The synthetic diamond files are also useful.
Different set of tools for woodworking but I don't woodwork where I do metal work. Woodworking makes a mess and metal makes an oily mess. Neither are good around the other.
Painting and finishing make a whole nother set of mess and best kept away from the other two projects.

Doing "wall drills" with a new S&W Bodyguard 2.0 with a snap cap in the chamber.
I can rack the slide about half way and reset the trigger while leaving the snap cap in place.
Much easier to practice trigger pulls that way.
Is there any chance that will damage/wear the gun?

My friend says he only practices with the target at 9-10 feet, as that is where 90% of handgun shooting is done. He feels it's better to develop perfect muscle memory and make large holes via tight groupings.
I realize indoor ranges with stationary targets are probably not as beneficial as outdoor/situational shooting with movement. Nonetheless, I'm curious to know what y'all think is the best way to structure handgun practice at the indoor range?

As far as the AR-15, yes. If not an AR-15, then certain parts might be interchangeable but not others. The whole AR universe though has AR-15 plus AR variants like the H&K.
Not really a hard and fast rule yet. Same as the AR-10 has several variants where some of the parts don't fit between variants.

I agree with Oddbob here. As a general rule, it should not cause an issue. Some of the laser training snap caps though don't have a rim so racking does not affect them one way or another. You have to poke a rod down the bore to remove those.

Insert the word "defensive" and it's probably a true statement. Doesn't mean that there isn't value and enjoyment in shooting at longer ranges.

Figure your threat profile as a civilian and then skew your practice toward that. Claude Werner, the Tactical Professor has a website that is well recommended and free for some. Rangemaster newsletters by Tom Givins also also free.
Out in the country, you might very well have to make a 25 yard shot if the other critter is carrying a rifle etc. In the city, most of your shooting will be at bad breath range as you cannot enforce a 21 ft (aka 7 yd) bubble walking down the streetwalk, in an elevator, etc. Suburban bubble gets a bit bigger but even there, not quite 7 yds.
But, if you can precisely shoot your firearm from a draw at 7-10 yards, then you might want to make sure you speed up for defensive shooting.
A 3-5 inch rapid fire grouping at that range is fine for defensive shooting once you have mastered precise trigger control on slow fire.
Keeping your shots in a pie plate at 15-25 yards is excellent for defensive shooting.

Mud season is over, the road up was clear and dry. Four guys were just finishing up, and gifted me a shopping bag full of once-fired .308. Very nice.
I worked my way out from 300 to 1100 with 120 grain Hornadys. All of the targets are now clearly marked and ranged.
The 120s were shooting much flatter than the ballistics program predicted. 50 rounds were all hitting 2-4 MOA high.
Switched over to Hornady 147 ELD M and just started at 1100. Solid hits after the third round. Called it a day after 20 rounds, with the last being a hit on a Fox target at 1107.
Life is good.

Walther makes good stuff. A four inch barrel also makes the most out of the 9mm as most self defense ammo ballistics center around it as cops favor that barrel length. Less barrel rise too due to weight so you get back on target quicker.

What your friend isn't accounting for is the massive adrenaline dump that happens at the start of any defensive situation. The first thing that happens is all of your fine motor skills (i.e. the ones you need to accurately hit the target) disappear in an instant. To compensate for that fact, Paul Harrell recommended that 1) you use a half sized target instead of a full sized one and 2) push the distance your target is at out to 10 yards vs. 5 yards. The rationale is that if you can get a good group at 10 yards on a half size target, you should be able to get a good group on a full size target at 5 yards.
For an example of that 10% outside bad breath range, see Mr. Dicken's example a few years back at the Greenwood Park Mall food court.

I’m a lefty and would like a bolt action for this application. Low light situations with a gee whiz scope that floated past on the stream.

I'm so abusive with knives that I wind up sharpening my EDC about twice a month.
I used a carbide draw sharpener at first then hone from there. I like 22° on my blades.
My facination started in Somalia where we had bayonets with little stones and LOTS of down time. We all had stones sent to us and the sharness of your bayonet became a thing.
I'll spend days on some sharpening projects.
No sword, dagger, knife or blade in my posession is dull. I sharpen utility knife blades too.

Yes, but he started his career in Seattle, worked in the Red Barn for a while. To be honest, I do not know just how extensive his career was, because to him it was just his job. It was not until years later that I learned he worked for NASA during the Apollo missions. Frustrating.

I have a significant "intention tremor". Pulling a trigger is a very intentional act for me - so of course my tremor gets worse in that situation.
I am currently doing lots of drills just pointing the gun at a blank spot on the wall and trying to watch the front sight remain steady during the trigger break.
Unfortunately, I cannot do this!
I have even simplified the act to just trying to take up the trigger on an uncocked gun, and the front sight still moves a little.
I have tried all of the grip variances I can think of - to little improvement. (I am right-handed.)
I have tried pull from center of index pad versus pull from crease in first joint. I have tried "very relaxed" arms to crushing left grip to crushing grip with elbows up and hands relaxed.
Practice makes "permanent" in my personal experience, rather than perfect. Any advice on things to try before I work hard on repeating a fixed operation.
(cont.)
Posted by: Pillage Idiot at April 12, 2026 08:21 PM (HlyYF)
Finally, my best result is pulling the trigger with BOTH index fingers. I currently execute my signature by steadying my right hand by pushing gently with my left index finger on my right thumb. I have tried applying this to my trigger pull, and it is my best (Idiot) solution so far.
I pull with the crease of my index finger on the trigger, and stick the tip of my left index finger inside the trigger guard on my right knuckle. That gives me a much steadier trigger “squeeze” with much less motion of the front sight. I have not yet tried it on the range with live ammo.
If that is the stupidest thing you have ever heard, please don’t spare my feelings by hedging your answers. This is an important thing to get right, so I definitely will take any advice from the experts.

Boy isn't that the truth. Never knew my Dad's first cousin was part of the Normandy landing, until he came into the house one evening after helping my brother haul a load of cattle to market. It just so happened to be the anniversary date of D-day. He'd had enough to drink that he described the whole situation in detail.... I got the sense we might have been some of the only people he'd ever told. I was still in high school then, but I remember years later when Saving Private Ryan came out the intro scenes were exactly as Gene had described them. Hair raising....

Indeed it does! A couple weeks ago I think I mentioned that we did a drill like this. We set it out at 10 yards and brought it in. Draw EDC from IWB holster and see can you get 3 good shots in.
It is totally different experience than standing and shooting at paper. You've added motion, drawing from the holster, and a time factor to it. You would not believe how much adrenaline it adds.

This may or may not be of any help at all. I heard it from one of my first professional instructors and TBH I'm not sure if it made any real difference for me but I'll pass it on for your consideration.
He said that he could get new(er) shooters to improve their trigger control by changing the way they think about it by changing the verb used to describe the action. "Squeeze" is right out because squeezing is a whole hand action. "Pull" is discouraged because it suggests a gross motor action instead of a fine one. He recommended "press" or even better "click" as you would click a mouse button. You don't death-grip a mouse; you hold it enough to control it. Then when you're on target, you click the button by moving just that one finger. Try dry firing with that mental image and see if it helps.

Is .243 Winchester obscure and difficult to find? That’s a plus in caliber creep. I have a .25-06 and was actually considering that as it could also be a fine early morning and late evening deer option as my 29 year old eyes and low light don’t play as well together as they used to do.
Regrettably that does not provide a justification for a new addition. It just works. Unless I added a second identical to the first. Eureka!

FWIW, check the Walther website for a possible holster. It can take a bit of time for new holsters to be made for a firearm and get out to the distributors. Usually though, the mfg has them on their online store first as an accessory.
Walther probably has one of the top out of the box triggers for their PDP and later series. Also never heard of a problem with Walther on warranties being honored or spare parts issues.
Let us know how you like it if you get one.

Probably some 45C after (for the Model 1866 lever). Definitely not enough shooting going on, ammo consumption has been pitiful lately. And one M1 and the 1911 need full disassembly and cleaning.
1911 might have something going on with it, after cleaning have to try to reproduce the odd jams I got several times last year. Though I have switched to round-nose from SWCs (found them at the same price), so might not be able to diagnose the issue until I try SWCs again.

I found it faster to do my Dot Torture drills with it, as I didn't have a comp to snag on my kydex holster. But though the groups were ironically better, they weren't...great. I'll try my normal DA/SA CZ next week.
I also did strong hand only drills, two shot strings from holster and low ready. I have to say the front sight was hard for old eyes to see, I missed the red dot here. After some bad strings to the left and right of the target, I figured out to pop the front sight up and hold low and at 7 yards, that put things in 3" circle just fine.

Curiously enough, I have been working on that due to my loss of grip strength via nerve impingement (now gone after surgery).

Another cheap Amazon toy tip came from rehab. It looks like a jelly version of brass knuckles and it works on the extensor muscles by opening and relaxing them. "Hand Grip Strengthener, Finger Exerciser, Grip Strength Trainer" Pnrskter about six bucks.

Not the greatest for lube but definitely, if you got food grade, not toxic. Fwiw, best bulk lube for a firearm is probably Mobil One.
Need a cleaner with lube qualities, ATF aka transmission fluid plus a bit of acetone works fine.
Only use ATF though on bare metal as it can be a bit harsh on plastics and not something you want on wood.
I used both in the past for task when shooting a lot but really prefer some of the more specialized greases for semi auto slides, a lighter oil for trigger mechanisms, and less smelly bore and better metal fouling cleaners (ATF plus Acetone).
SHTF, Synthetic motor oil and ATF as a bore solvent alone would probably do okay.

Ed's (homemade recipe) is similar to the old GI bore cleaner when they used corrosive ammo primers. Forget the designation but it works well for even corrosive ammo cleaning.
From CE Harris, former Ruger engineer and well known in firearms land,
"Thirty years ago I mixed my first "Ed's Red" or "ER" bore cleaner. It has passed the test of time. Thousands of satisfied users think this home-mixed cleaner is every bit as effective as more expensive commercial products.
The design intent of “ER” was to provide cleaning action similar to Vietnam-era military rifle bore cleaner, Mil-C-372B. When the optional acetone is included ER is more effective than Hoppe's for removing plastic fouling in shotgun bores, or heavily-caked carbon fouling in semi-automatic rifles or pistols. Users have reported it as effective as Kano Kroil as a penetrant for loosening rusted bolts, engine parts and in removing leading in revolvers. “ER” is less expensive than commercial bore cleaners, and as effective, providing excellent corrosion protection and fully adequate residual lubrication"

I remember one video where he was reviewing one of those horrible V-shaped carbide sharpeners. You know, the ones that sort of tear up the side of the knife in order to make something jagged enough that will sort of cut, while ruining the knife? When I saw the knives he was going to use, I laughed, because I recognized one as being of Maxamet steel, which is extremely wear-resistant, just chock full of carbides. It was such a ridiculous match to the cartoon sharpener, which was his intent.

"The “ER” formula was based upon proven principles, incorporating two polar and two nonpolar solvents. It was adapted from the recipe published in Hatcher's Notebook for "Frankford Arsenal Cleaner No.18," substituting readily available modern materials.
Hatcher’s formula called for equal parts of acetone, turpentine, Pratts Astral Oil and sperm oil, and optionally 200 grams of anhydrous lanolin being added per liter.
Today I recommend "K1" kerosene of the type normally sold for use in indoor space heaters. Users have reported successful substitution of civilian aviation grade kerosene such as Turbo-A.
An inexpensive, effective substitute for sperm oil is Dexron automatic transmission fluid."

As a plus, range babes are 92.463% pro-lanolin.

I am not the best at this situation but based on my shooting, history, I'd look seriously at a shotgun for fun and defense. I've found buckshot to be less reliant on precise trigger press. Not saying you can 'jerk' the trigger but it might be better in your circumstance.
Get a Mossberg pump in 20ga or if you think 12ga is in your capacity, ammo is a lot easier to find and its more powerful.

----------
As someone who restored old Mausers, Ballistol is fine if you use it regularly but in an older and pitted bore, it can leave crap in the pits in a longer bore. And the oil in that case can actually accelerate bore rusting in those pits making them deeper. Works fine in a clean smooth enough bore. But so do other things.
You can leave off acetone in Ed's Red and it works slower. ATF has its own corrosion removers and cleansers so cars can operate. Works okay on bores. The Synthetic formulas of ATF smell a bit less than the old cheap crap. The kerosene added to the ATF in Eds Red makes it flow better by thinning the mix and allows the ATF to penetrate fouling better but it smells like kerosene.

A Rockstar 500 would be a great candidate for a do-everything stone, except for supersteels, where you need diamonds or CBN.

Eh. Sounds like a lot of work for something you can buy for a moderate price. I mean, unless this is less than $10 for a quart, it seems there are better options...unless you are cleaning large numbers of firearms as an armorer. As a recreational shooter, I don't see the point.

Make sure you get anhydrous lanolin if you want to put it in Eds Red. Some of the skin softener lanolin has stuff you do not want to use.

There is something fishy with this scope. The cross-hairs are askew from the adjusting knobs. Wonder if this is normal, or wrong, but fixable?
And when out for a road test with my old pickup, met a neighbor out cruising around in a 4-wheeler, with his Ruger 10-22, shooting gophers.

I made a batch years ago and used it to restore old rifle barrels along with playing around with electrolytic fouling removal, various bore solvents, etc.
That being said, I have more optimized solvents and lubricants for every firearm that I have. Lubriplate for the Garand and M1 Carbine, Eno's slide glide for Semi Auto pistol slides, Breakfree Collectors for long term storage, etc. etc. Lead solvents, copper solvents, etc.
I have about as many types of lubricants and cleaners as I do spare holsters lying around.

People also generally shoot longarms better than handguns. Three points of stabilization versus two (if you use both hands).
Pillage, dunno if you have any but a 22 LR revolver is one of the better trainers for trigger pulling. If you can find one, I recommend a High Standard Sentinel (used as they don't make these anymore) with a 4-6 inch barrel to give an adequate sight line. The same revolver was also sold as a JC Higgins (Sears), and a pseudo cowboy (but double action revolver).
Smith and Wesson Kit guns are also nice but more expensive used. Dunno about the recent Taurus revolvers but those might do fine as well. Just get a 22 LR revolver and fire it double action.

Fortunately, most are in small bottles. Outer's Tri Clean is a decent and cheap CLP but I don't know it they make it anymore.
Used a lot more CLP during the last years where I shot much simply because convenient and easy on AR pattern rifles which I was shooting at the time.
Only stuff I actively hate is Frog Lube and its various competitors. Veggie oil based but it can set up into a caked mess if not used frequently. Same for people using WD-40, has waxes in the base which sets up over time into cement.
On the one bolt action Frog Lube test gun, after about a year, I had to strip it and start from scratch. Used lacquer thinner to do it. Was causing issues on the firing pin channel, sluggish bolt, etc. Nasty stuff.
Oh, and mineral spirits (the non recycled stuff) is also pretty good as a general firearm cleaner and bore solvent for carbon deposits.

The .243 Winchester used to be a bench rest competition cartridge until faster, longer reaching, etc. cartridges were invented. Still used a lot for recoil sensitive youths and females to take down deer.
