Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Department of Education Investigates Minnesota's Use of "Trans Dolls" with Swappable Genitalia to Promote Transgenderism to Young ChildrenI think it's time to simply eject Minnesota from the United States. It's a diseased appendage that must be cut off to save the rest of the body. It just gets worse and worse every single day.The Department of Education is investigating the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) over the potential use of transgender dolls in schools. The investigation was launched Wednesday in response to complaints about "MyGender Dolls," a product designed to encourage transgenderism through the use of toy dolls. Earlier this week, controversy erupted after multiple outlets reported that transgender dolls with interchangeable genitalia would be debuting in Minnesota classrooms this fall, funded by taxpayer dollars. The dolls reportedly originated as a University of Minnesota project through its medical school, which receives $15 million in state funding. An undisclosed amount is also dispersed to its Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, which has a total budget of $1.4 million. The dolls became a marketable product, called MyGender Dolls, marketed to "professionals who support trans and gender diverse children in clinical and educational settings." The Department of Education is investigating to ensure the MDE is in compliance with the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), which restricts federal funding for schools that force students to engage in activities forcing them "to submit to a survey, analysis, or evaluation" on their "sex behavior or attitudes." The amendment is targeted at preventing schools from hiding name and pronoun changes from parents, as well as transition plans. A complaint filed by parents through Defending Education prompted the federal investigation by highlighting potential violations of multiple federal policies. ... [Secretary of Education Linda] McMahon continued, saying, "No four-year-old should be exposed to such material -- especially without a parent's knowledge or consent. ED will enforce the law to its fullest extent, putting parents and families firmly in the driver's seat of their child's education." Emily Buss, the Communications Director for Minnesota's Department of Education, disputes the claim about the dolls being used in schools, calling it "patently false." "The paper-cutout dolls will not be implemented in Minnesota K-12 public schools. They are intended for use by licensed professionals and clinicians. This is a University of Minnesota-led initiative, and the Minnesota Department of Education is not involved," she said.That's a lie. Adult "clinicians" do not play with paper dolls in order to understand sex change operations. The paper dolls are designed to be used to show to children. And the MyGender Dolls website admits this:

MN should be traded for Alberta. Or we need a border wall.
This insanity spews from them and other blue states. I have two sons. They were not interested in being girls, ever. About 15yrs ago, in a public school in FL, there was a "trend" of girls experimenting being lesbian or trans. It goes back that far in a red state. My 8yr old grandson knows he's a boy and is fine with it. His 5yr old insane sister is fine with being a girl. Neither needed dolls with genitalia to play with or figure out what they were. I didn't know about freaking ovaries and a uterus til 4th grade when I got dragged to a "hygiene" class with my mother. Missing Red Skelton as it was a Tuesday night. I got NOTHING from it, the book, or the giant box of Kotex which mother showed me in her closet. NOTHING. Yet children, today, in public (pubic?) skools are being taught this in kindergarten! Later how to masturbate. Or to put a condom on a banana. My grands go to a conservative Catholic private school and I will be in jail if one is ever harmed by anyone. Do not get me started on perv priests as there are pervs everywhere and our huge parish would not condone it. Demons walk this earth to harm children.

*** My first year in Denver, I knew a a guy like this. Cool fellow, a locksmith by trade. He'd dress as a woman in his off hours. I'd see him and talk with him (?) at a local coffeehouse where we both enjoyed the music. From what I could tell, cross-dressing was a hobby for him, not some obsession that would lead him to surgical insanities. Of course, this was in '97-'98. No telling what might have happened since. As for affirmation, people at the coffeehouse were pretty laissez-faire. "Oh, he's just getting in touch with his feminine side."

Later, in her mid-40's she decided she wanted a baby. Tried IVF. Eggs too old. Tried to talk one of her sisters into surrogacy and that did not work out (fortunately).

78 Remember Kevin Jemnings, the safe school czar
He was printing up books for 5th graders on how to perform fisting. Posted by: Ben Had My exposé of his "reading list" was the most explosive report I ever did. So explsive that I had to get it published on other website under pseudonyms. "Fisting" was the least of it. He actively promoted pedophilia, with books (aimed at kids) filled with X-rated descriptions of how great it is to be turned gay by being molested by an adult pervert. It as (and remains) completely mind-boggling, so grotesque that normal people just turn away rather than confront it. Posted by: zombie at July 29, 2026 06:55 PM (Av6i5) 94

The first 5 rows were invited & I was leaving. My friends said no to the roadie and I left with them & my brother. I honestly thought it was just to party. My husband said, well, no, not completely. I argued they were nice guys (from what I read) and he, patiently after almost 50yrs, said, "What do you think he wanted?" Oh. Well I would have said no. He gave up at this point & we went to bed.

As you can see from the photos that run with that story, he looks exactly like a woman. It's uncanny!The only way to check his gender would be to forcibly reach down his pants, AOC tells me. You can't tell from his masculine ugly face nor from his five o'clock shadown nor from from his male-pattern obesity. No only invasive "genital checks" could possibly reveal his actual sex. I don't understand -- I was insistently informed that "gender affirming care" cured the myriad mental illnesses that "trans" people have. And yet... they seem to get worse, not better. It's a real mystery no one can solve because No One Is Allowed to Solve It. Resercher/reporter Andy Ngo did a book about the Zizian Trans Murder Cult and finds that parricide is alarmingly common in people supposedly cured of mental illness through the Miracle of "gender affirming medicine.

Posted by: SpeakingOf at July 29, 2026 05:33 PM (6ydKt) Reminds me of a joke... A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, “Please be gentle, I’m still a virgin.” “What?” said the puzzled groom. “How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?” “Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be. Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he’d look into it and get back to me. Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn’t get the system up. (cont) Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at July 29, 2026 05:36 PM (l3cgK) 84

Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn’t know when he would be able to deliver. Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method. Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn’t sure whether it was his job or not. Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it. Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it. Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it. Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was… God! I miss him! But now that I’ve married you, I’m really excited!” “Good,” said the new husband, “but, why?” “You’re a lawyer. This time I know I’m gonna get screwed!” Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at July 29, 2026 05:36 PM (l3cgK) 85

They call it the "Dildo of the Gender Euphoria.” And this one was thrust into a father's anus by his very son. My own daughter has fallen under this Thulsa Coom's spell. Is there a dildo such as this in her hand for me? She follows him as a slave, seeking for the truth of her gender, as if I could not give it to her! Steal her HRT! There comes a time, Chud, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child.

The number of children and teens presenting with "gender dysphoria" has been exploding. They tell us this is *not* social contagion, but that these cases were always there but suppressed due to lack of social acceptance. They also tell us that without affirmation, these patients are on a sure path to suicide.
But if both these things were true, those supposedly closeted cases of gender dysphoria should have accounted for ~ALL of youth suicides twenty or thirty years ago*, and we should now be seeing a historically unprecedented near-eradication of the same. Let's check if that's the case... NOPE, rather the opposite in fact, and the studied incuriosity of the mental health community about this paradox speaks volumes.

When...WHEN...are parents/people/politcians going to recognize this is severe mental illness and stop coddling them? It's getting worse! I watch a girl wanting to be a boy (I think I have this correct) in church. We have security, of this I am certain. This kid dresses like a boy and wears a newsboy cap.

This will someday be a famous revevalation. But, for now, let's call it "Orson's Theory."
1. Most transgenders exist in Western countries. 2. Until recently, most "transgenders" were male to female. However, in the last few years the stiatistics claim it evened out more. 3. Male to female "transgenders" are scientifically explained, while Female to Male "Transgenders" are primarly motivated by trend and escape based on erroneous opinion spewed by feminism. 4. The culprit in all this is...(drum roll)....Toothpaste and municipal water sources. 5. Generous application of fluouride in both toothpaste (more prevalent in the West) and municipal water chemical treatment (fluoride based). 6. Fluoride effects the natural production of Testosterone, and can damage the body from continued use of Fluoride over long periods of time. Next thing you know, men are wearing dresses and bonking their mom on the head with a hammer. I'll await my Nobel Prize. Posted by: Orson at July 29, 2026 06:18 PM (dIske) 243

I actually sorta "know" a trans dude -- a former work colleague. Never really knew him that well. When we worked togeher, he was just a man -- no gender dysphoria as far as I could tell.
A coupe years after we both left the company, out of thje blue he announced to everyone on Facebook that he was "transitioning' into being a woman. Changed his name to something like a porn star would have -- don't want to reveal it here but lets just say "Cupcakes." Then he embarked on a years-long transition, with hormones, and various surgeries, all documented on Facebook. Throughout the entiure time, including up to the present, he looks like what he is: a 6' 1" beefy dude with broad shoulders, big jawbone, Adam's apple, receding hairline. But now with added boobs, facelift, wigs, etc. Why am I mentioning this?

Which is the whole point. Socialism and communism destroy functioning systems so that they can present themselves as the solution to all of the problems they themselves have caused.Meanwhile, longtime NYC residents are complaining that the communist terrorist has put them on a list of people whose properties will be taxed at sky-high rates -- unless they can prove to the city's socialist satisfaction that they live in their homes. New Yorkers were seething Tuesday after Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration alerted them they'd be on the hook for the state's new pied-a-terre tax -- which was explicitly sold as a levy targeting wealthy owners of luxury second homes. Longtime residents -- some who have called the Big Apple home for decades and own a single abode in the city -- told The Post they were shocked to get hit with five-figure tax bills they believe were mistakenly mailed out, and are now being forced to navigate a bureaucratic labyrinth to prove it. "Whoever's behind this, who I can only assume is the mayor, didn't take the 30 seconds to research," said Karen Young, president and founder of New York and Paris-based beauty marketing company The Young Group, who has lived in New York since 1972.Why would you assume this gayboy Destroyer of Civilization wasn't behind it? You voted for him, didn't you, Dummy? Yes, the communists say that you can avoid having your property confiscated through ruinous taxation if you jump through their bureaucratic hurdles -- but they're the ones who decide how onerous those hurdles will be, and they profit from citizens failing to run their commie gauntlet. So, enjoy. There must be NO BAILOUTS for New York City or Seattle or Boston or any of the other communist cities after they destroy themselves.

It's a solid lawsuit. The prices in the commie stores sit about 30% lower than privately owned grocery stores. Profit in a privately owned store is about 1% to 3% on each item. So about 27% to 29% of the reduction on Commie prices are nothing more than a hidden tax to NY taxpayers. Mamdani was trying to state that entire savings reduction was based only on profits of the "greedy" retailers.
Looking forward to discovery on that lawsuit. Should be fun. Posted by: Orson at July 29, 2026 04:25 PM (dIske) 14

I've a simple solution. The immigrant grocery stores can pay people to go buy supplies from the commie grocery stores as soon as they open, then sell them below market price. The commie store fails faster than it would have. People still buy from you because the commie store shelves are empty. You get your goods cheaper than from your normal supplier.

I have come to realize that none of the proto-commies pushing this crap have ever had to complete a balance sheet or run a payroll. Every one of them is a loser financially, so they are just driven by their own envy of others who do these magical things that earn money.

The immigrant grocery stores can pay people to go buy supplies from the commie grocery stores as soon as they open, then sell them below market price.
I once saw the Pakistani guy who ran a small store near my house buying supplies at Costco. Made economic sense - if you want the convenience of walking to a store to buy something at midnight, you are going to pay a substantial markup.

I would suspect the proof of residency in New York City would include handing over copies of all utility bills, property tax bills, and state and federal income tax returns from the previous year.
Providing a NY state drivers license only proves you're a resident of the state, not a resident of NYC. In my county, I've got provide all of the above documentation to get a "Homestead Tax" exemption for a much lower property tax rate, instead of the county having to prove I'm living in a second home and trying to avoid the higher rate. I'd expect no less from bureaucracy running the city of New York. Posted by: SpeakingOf at July 29, 2026 04:32 PM (6ydKt) 42

30% off is completely ridiculous.
There are already supermarket chains -- like Grocery Outlet, among several others -- that have 50% off as their standard starting price. Places alike Aldi, Lidl and Trader Joe's also are about 40% off standard supermarket retail prices on many items. Don't even talk to me about Costco and Walmart. Dollar stores? Yup. If you want discounted food, a 30%-off place is gonna be like at the bottom of your lit of options. You were promised free. What you got was 30% off. The you discover that it's 30% off Erewhon.

How many of them received minority-only government loans?
Posted by: weft cut-loop at July 29, 2026 04:25 PM (diia5) Those two things are separate problems. But let’s assume they did - they are still being capitalists, they are still paying taxes, they are still keeping people on a payroll. They are paying the loan back, or paid it back. They are paying rent. Why in the world would we be okay with that type of person being put out of business? We should be in the camp of promoting business ownership. Note, I have an SBA loan I got for the purchase of my business. It didn’t qualify for a minority targeted loan, it’s just a traditional SBA, but it’s still a government backed loan. The purpose of them is to promote business growth. Now I would rather put pencils on my eyes than go through the process again, mind you. They didn’t just hand me money. It was painful.

Here’s the Mammy voters;
South Asian voters: 87.2% supported Mamdani, with strong mobilization in enclaves like Jackson Heights and Western Queens. Asian American voters (overall): 49.1% (or 59% in some surveys) backed Mamdani, significantly outpacing Andrew Cuomo. Black voters: 57% (or 48% in other polls) voted for Mamdani, flipping away from Cuomo who led in the primary. Hispanic/Latino voters: 52% (or 45%) supported Mamdani, driven by his affordability platform in the Bronx and Queens. Jewish voters: 33% supported Mamdani, while 63% voted for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo. White voters: Mamdani lost this group, with Cuomo winning 45% to Mamdani’s 37% (or a 1-point margin in other counts). Posted by: That Guy at July 29, 2026 04:36 PM (KOPVf) 61

Lasted less than a year before shutting down due to being destroyed and stripped clean by the kind of clientele that would go to a free store run by Yippies.

She has lived full-time in her townhouse FOR 30 YEARS (she and my dad bought it for under $1 million1). She has no other residence. Is NYC not bothering with basic checking of its own tax lists? She's 81 and has three weeks to get her name off the list or she owes $56,000. (Yes, I said I'd help.) Thanks, Zohran Kwame. The note went very viral. It has now been viewed 3.5 million times, including a surprising (or maybe sadly unsurprising) amount of jealous blowback from leftists on X. @bri_guy_ny, whose X biography claims he is a “dad, lawyer, progressive, and former 2020 Bernie delegate,” wrote: "My Mommy owns a townhouse that's worth upwards of $8 million dollars, and the government is making me FILL OUT A FORM.

The prices in the commie stores sit about 30% lower than privately owned grocery stores.
Which means that the product they are buying is near free since never at any time has any government ever had cost savings as part of the operation plan. There is always graft. There is always corruption. There is always skimming. There is always incompetence. This is always sloth. There is always money laundering for The Party. I wouldn't be surprised if each of the proposed stores had sinecures for assistant managers.

I take no backseat to hating Commies - but having some insight to the game a lot of NY people play - they work in NY and have a residence there but they “live 182 days” outside NYC to avoid the NYC taxes (in case you did not know - NYC has a bunch of taxes on top of NY State taxes (and City taxes are not just property taxes). So I see what the Commie is trying to do. And don’t believe all the sob stories.
Still i hope the Islamist Commie pushes too far and businesses get him removed. Otherwise - the Financial Capital of the US will move to Dallas or Miami (and since I’m NYC adjacent and do love the City - I think that would be bad). Posted by: CtSpursman at July 29, 2026 04:46 PM (1jbkT) 112

The problems are far deeper than the votes - look at the “choice” they had. Mamdani, or the lying scumbag Cuomo who sent 15,000 grannies to their deaths while he perved on all the office help; or Sliwa, who cosplays as a right wing leader but in fact is just another Jew hating nutcase. NYC is past the point where they should be allowed to self select their own leaders.

In college I worked for an “immigrant small business”. It was a bodega type place but not in New York so it’s called a store.
They were Greeks. Elder dad and two siblings. Dad fresh off the boat barely spoke English 30 years later. Siblings born here. No laws were followed. I got paid in cash at the end of my shift. No taxes paid no fica collected nothing. I don’t know if they had a license to sell alcohol but they sold a lot of it to very young people’s. This was back when renting VHS tapes was a thing. The brother would go to blockbuster rent the latest movies then make copies and rent those out for $2. And yes they’d buy soda in bulk from a warehouse club, then sell the items individually at 300% markup. That’s how ALL these places operate. But it was fun another. Especially then the siblings and the dad would yell at each other in Greek. Which was pretty much all the time. It was a fun time. Posted by: Chaos at July 29, 2026 04:52 PM (81vU3) 132

Mamdani’s showing us exactly what can be done when personal greed is not the main driving factor. But won't *somebody* think of the poor, downtrodden CEOs who will barely able to afford the fuel and personnel costs for their private jets? waiting for both Democrats and Republicans to try to spin these discounted groceries into a bad thing. He'll be called a socialist like it's a bad word. They’re making more and more socialists out of the populace every time they call Mamdani one! Our generation (i am a millennial) hears this and demands more of that. First time their red scare tactics dont work because who they labeled socialist makes them more endeared to working class families Omg, I need to move to NYC. Not even kidding 😭 I want to be part of making things work. we have commissarys on military bases that have lower cost goods. why can't the rest of us have something similar? anyone that still believes a democrat when they give some excuse about how they can’t actually help the human race, direct them to the example of Mr. Mamdani Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at July 29, 2026 04:52 PM (VB9q0) 133
"Coalition of Immigrant-Owned Grocery Stores Will Sue Communist Terrorist Zohran Mamdani for Using State Money to Subsidize Their Competitors
The state-run grocery stores, if they ever come to be, will not have to pay taxes and will not have to pay rent. They will drive private enterprise stores out of business. Which is the whole point. Socialism and communism destroy functioning systems so that they can present themselves as the solution to all of the problems they themselves have caused." Potemkin Grocery Stores! All media taking heads and Democrats who are given tours of Mamdani's commie stores will publicly say government-owned and -operated grocery stores are terrific! Just look at how marvelously the new ones in NYC are changing the lives of people in Food Deserts! Every Democrat politician is salivating at the thought of how much graft can be generated by government stores selling staple foods (and junk foods). All (inevitable) losses will be another item the taxpayers will subsidize. Any Democrat city political machine that can't cook the books to hide losses due to shoplifting, employee theft, and graft is completely inept at its basic function.

#159 BM - I can’t speak for everyone but I know professionals who live on Park or 5th Avenue who have places outside the City and declare those places as primary residences to avoid NYC taxes (as they work in NYC their income is taxed at state level - first in NYState and then at other State level if higher - for instance income from a job in NYC is taxed in NY then you get a credit against CT taxes (if any)) if you live in CT . But if you are a NYC resident there are more income and other taxes on top of NY State taxes.
As for City Services - in this day and age it’s hard to see the direct benefits of that in high- income Manhattan. Everything is handled through building management (I mean I guess there are “single family homes” in Manhattan that in this day start at $10M) - those are brownstones (attached row houses).

The plan is to put one store in each borough. In the Bronx, it'll be over in Hunts Point which is four miles from me.

5 stores in NYC won't work for the first week, assuming they open. Swarms will show up, tear into the inventory buy and steal it all and they will not be able to replenish it by next day.
There is a reason why established stores make forecasts based on previous sales. Its because they have to buy the stock in advance. The immigrants who go to Costco are leveraging the Costco supply-chain and forecasting functions, but do so at a price. Fortunately Costco's purchasing power and logistics is so good and their ability to be flexible narrows that gap between Costco's costs in the logistics and what the bodega merchant could do on their own. Pretty sure that the Mamdani stores will be using Costco's infrastructure, and thus they won't have an site statistics or forecasts. Posted by: Community Notes at July 29, 2026 05:26 PM (rgGn5) 258

Posted by: Hawaiian Judge at July 29, 2026 05:40 PM (wGerL) Posted by: Scott at July 29, 2026 06:33 PM (kmvkg) Iran Threatens Lives of First Lady and Barron Trump; Trump Says He'll Kick the Sh** Out of ThemIran is calling upon its foreign agents to kill Trump's wife and youngest son.
Iran just launched five missiles at US bases. The missiles were all intercepted, but Trump vows vengeance.
Trump explained why he hasn't yet bombed Iran's bridges and power plants. It's simple: He's thinking about the day after the collapse of the regime. The freed people of Iran will desperately need to start making money, and that will be difficult with all of the bridges and power plants destroyed. Trump explains that bridges can take up to ten years to build and power plants are the most expensive piece of infrastructure to rebuild. I watched a video last week explaining that's why Trump has not bombed Kharg Island down to ground, too. It turns out that despite Iran's long coast on the Strait, they have only one deep water port, and that's Kharg Island. The rest of the coastal waters are shallow and piled with silt which prevents ocean-going tankers from pulling up to take on oil. This is also why you only hear of plans to use Marines to seize Kharg Island, as opposed to dropping massive ordnance penetrators on it and just destroying the port entirely. So again, he's contemplating the post-war economy of Iran and deciding not to bomb key infrastructure that the Iranians will desperately need. That all makes sense. Here's what doesn't: Repeatedly threatening to bomb things you've already decided not to bomb.
— U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) July 29, 2026 U.S. Central Command and the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces conducted precision strikes in Iraq, July 28, against Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed to attack U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure. U.S. and Saudi fighter aircraft struck multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq in a strong response to over 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks in the last 72 hours. The unwarranted attacks against U.S. forces were not successful.Leftists are openly grieving Iran's inability to fund their favorite murderous, psychopathic Muslim terrorist forces.

Yea, but Iran doesn't know that. And there may come a time when we have to bomb those things. I'm not sure how long we keep doing these half-measures, without going for the jugular, because of some (mostly) altruistic notion that we have to save Iran for the Iranians. I'd love Iranians to live in a free society without head-chopping lunatics in charge. I also want a pet dragon.

IRGC has been described as "a hedge fund with its own military"
So cutting them off from banking, taking their money and giving it to their most recent victims of their bombardment, and letting them see what they could be earning on the international oil market, if they only agreed to peace, will eventually lead to a form of shareholder's meeting in which they will determine the way forward.

If Iran won't coalesce into a nation that wants to interact with the rest of the world like a normal country, it can be reduced to the point where the rest of the world can ignore it.
If we get serious about damaging Iran's infrastructure one possible outcome is for the country to fracture formally or informally into smaller entities that are more interested in food and trade then war with the Great Satan. This is also a win. Imagine for example the governor of Sistan and Baluchestan coalescing power himself in the province signing a cease fire with the US and handing over IRGC members in his area. He's a Sunni and a Balouch so he has personal reasons to split assuming the IRGC is too weak to respond... Posted by: 18-1 at July 29, 2026 03:33 PM (sKqQm) 59

At some point you’re going to face an increase risk of IR, and when you start to hear about that action it’s a sign of the end times.

--------------------------------------------- Any advice for someone who wants to start in journalism in the midst of all of this? I would tell them that the business model for journalism is in flux right now, so if you want to be a journalist, number one, build a direct relationship with an audience. That’s the most valuable thing you can do. And don’t shy away from new technology. The one advantage you have when you’re starting out is that you’re starting from scratch, so you can build your business model however you want. There are a lot of young people I talk to today who know journalism is going to be a hobby for them. They’ll become an HVAC technician and do journalism on the side, or make some other product and use that to fund their journalism. I don’t know that we’re going to have journalism the same way we had for the past 50 or 60 years. But we could build something better. We just have to have these conversations.

Posted by: ace at July 29, 2026 03:25 PM (1wjle) It only prevents the easy transfer of goods, materials and fuel between the various elements of the dreaded "mosaic" strategy of decentralized warfare. This decentralized organizational model is what is making Iran such a tough nut to crack. Like Imperial Japan, taking every single node in the system will require boots on the ground and serious casualties of US personnel. Like the Pacific war, it is not actually required to take each node, and instead just prevent resupply - by sea, by land and from China, and across the mountains from, for example, ports on the Caspian sea. Without resupply, and destruction of the banking net, the men can't be paid, fed, and ammo and missiles can't be replenished. At some point the IRGC hardliners in each hideout will be squatting around their last missile LARPing Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Posted by: Kindltot at July 29, 2026 03:39 PM (rbvCR) 92

One food truck guy starts talking about how much money they are making, but the other guy realizes it isn't helping and instead argues with the fatty food they are serving they will surely kill plenty of infidels in 20-30 years The leader hears all of that and sounds dismissive but the next day has his own food truck serving cheaper food.

Remember the Abraham Accords. Nobody likes Iran, not even the Iranians. While they probably have assets here, I suspect a few visits to Waffle House and real supermarkets have turned a few heads, and "religious" support is probably not all that easy to come by. If I came here from Shitholistan, I might start to question my fanaticism in light of the freedoms and prosperity available.

What options does Trump even have left on Iran?
Declare victory and leave the region: U.S. bases would still be open to attacks. Ground invasion: a disaster in terms of casualties and turn into a forever war. Nukes are a PR nightmare. Iran said they're done negotiating with the Trump. You can't unfuck the dog. He's options are capitulate or escalate. Both bad choices. He'll blame everyone going back to Carter. He already has MAGA believing we've been at war with Iran for 47 years and that he simply inherited the current situation. he is running out of levers to pull to keep oil prices from getting out of control. He'll most likely have to sign an embarrassing deal and then completely throw Vance under the bus. He'll fire Hegseth. This is one reason for his takeover of all news agencies. Just continue to say you won biggly and let the propaganda avalanche do its thing. I bet he wishes he had Oboma's deal now as he fucked this up royally.

For a warmonger Trump is too soft and his concern for the Iranians' ability to get on their feet after the war is unwarranted. If they are too busy rebuilding bridges and power stations then they can't concentrate on attacking their neighbors and funding Islamic terrorist. Therefore bombing bridges and power stations is justified and does not kill the population.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at July 29, 2026 04:02 PM (XV/Pl) ====== The scale of their ability needs to be measured. When we started, they were firing more than a hundred missiles a day. Now, for their big push, their Battle of the Bulge, they send up 6 missiles which are all intercepted. And they can't affect the strait at all. Oil keeps going out with tankers just turning off AIS, doing ship to ship transfers, all while Iran says things that aren't true like a VLCC hitting a mine in Omani waters which no one believes. And no, I doubt they're getting new shipments of anything anymore. They apparently got some between the ceasefire and the MOU, but nothing since.. The idea that China could sneak through a major cargo tanker headed to Iran by the US Navy while the blockade is active is ludicrous. We knocked out their rail lines to Turkmenistan.

You don't. The situation needs to be managed militarily.

I suspect there have only been two reasons for negotiating all along.
1) Trump insists on giving every opportunity to allow the other side to do the right thing, before initiating bloodshed. 2) It's a cover story for the times where he has reason to pause the attack that he doesn't want to make public. Maybe it re-supply; maybe it's fielding a new technology; maybe it's reassessing or gathering more intel; maybe it's dealing with the allies. There could be all kinds of real reasons but actually expecting it to get somewhere has never been one of them. Posted by: MrExcitement at July 29, 2026 04:14 PM (ovdkm) 238

He's thinking about the day after the collapse of the regime. The freed people of Iran
One of the problems is Trump doesn't really do regime change. He's criticized it often in the past and he doesn't really think well in those terms. He's always conflating the country of Iran or the Iranian people with this group of theocratic Islamic doomsdayist cult mass murderers that have gained control over the country, referring to them often as just the "Iranians" and granting them rhetorical legitimacy as the embodiment of the Iranian people. In truth, he was right about Iraq, we didn't need regime change. After kicking Saddam out of Kuwait, Bush and Powell could have kept waging war until the Iraqi government surrendered. They would have had to hand over Saddam for trial, but the Baath party could have been left in charge with a peace treaty in which they acknowledged Kuwait's right to exist and paid damages and that would probably have been for the better. But Iran is a different case entirely. Since 1979 our goal should always have been regime change and granting no recognition to the Islamist cultists that held our hostages and maintained power through mass murder.

>>And yet you refuse, outright refuse, to acknowledge progress actually made on their military abilities or the degradation of their ability to project power. Their power projection is largely the same it has always been, they still maintain the ability to strike at us and their neighbors. It really has not changed substantially. All they need to do is shoot off a couple of rockets here or there, kill a serviceman here or there, down an air craft here or there, cause mischief here or there and the disruption they cause is outsized to their actual capabilities.

As we see in the Ukraine war drones have changed everything on the modern battlefield. We would need maybe 10-15 million drones supported by a ground force of some nature but what drone warfare has shown us is we don't need a massive D-Day type invasion force to support a drone rollover of every significant IRGC formation in the country. Russia and Ukraine are each making about 7 million drones in calendar 2026.
Posted by: TITP at July 29, 2026 04:26 PM (6Q9y6) Drones haven't done that much. What is keeping Russia back is poor bloody infantry and concrete emplacements and sandbags. They do slow things down a bit since they can blow up soft targets on roads, and destroy depots Posted by: Oldcat at July 29, 2026 04:30 PM (uhVAy) 285
I believe the Administration's goal is to prevent Iran from ever having nuclear weapons. That's the objective, everything else is negotiable.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at July 29, 2026 04:29 PM (XV/Pl) Even the most fanatic ally of Iran might have a rethink if all Iran can do is lob a drone in the direction of our bases instead of paying them or arming them. Posted by: Oldcat at July 29, 2026 04:33 PM (uhVAy) 287
You miss the point. They cannot disrupt anymore. They absolutely cannot. The oil market found a way. Iran can only put out press releases about things that haven't happened. Oil is below $80 a barrel...again. It's lower than it was before the renewed strikes. The gas prices are about refinery spreads, and nothing to do with the global oil market anymore. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 29, 2026 04:13 PM (LKG41) The actor that CAN disrupt oil markets is Donald Trump. He has done so several times this month. There is no free market in a market that involves OPEC+. The pull quote about it is, "The price of oil on the market has more to do with how many prostitutes the Gulf states Sheiks want to import from Europe than it has to do with supply and demand" Posted by: Kindltot at July 29, 2026 04:34 PM (rbvCR) 288

Posted by: Oldcat at July 29, 2026 04:30 PM (uhVAy) Completely wrong. Drones control the front lines on either side for up to 30 kilometers. The Russians need bad weather or a massive surge of EW and targeting the drone operators to get anywhere which they only do through slipping tiny groups of infantry through the lines. Several days ago the Russians tried a good old-fashioned armored column penetration of tanks and APCs and got blown to bits by drones. Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of strategists in the Pentagon who have not been paying close attention to how the Ukraine war has evolved. Posted by: TITP at July 29, 2026 04:38 PM (6Q9y6) 290

The unwarranted attacks against U.S. forces were not successful.
"Unwarranted"? Really? I mean, they're the bad guys, and all, but we ARE conducting a war against them, aren't we? Doesn't that warrant them striking back? Was this a style macro that always put "unwarranted" in front of "attacks"? Or someone who doesn't know what "unwarranted" means? Or do they actually think Iran shouldn't strike back?

It would appear that David Rohde received an invitation to "The Vault." If you never hear of The Chinese Vault before, I'll try to explain. There are a number of interviews out there of high end business people who routinely do business directly with China. A few of these people have given interviews about their experiences. Most held the attitude that if you go for the final signing of a contract deal with China and the contract wasn't altered slightly without an notification, then the Chinese are up to something else.
The rumor is (and it's come up in these interviews numerous times) is that China has a vault under the streets of Beijing. They take certain foreigners inside who they think can be of use, and flat out bribe them with a safety deposit box in this vault displaying their name on a brass plaque. They allow you to look through the contents of the "this could be yours" box, but require certain favors in return. In short: open bribery. Posted by: Orson at July 29, 2026 03:03 PM (dIske) 144

I would like to take this opportunity to provide some contrast between the left and right.
The left murdered a husband and father who just happened to be the CEO of a healthcare company. They are still making his murderer into one of their heroes, and a verb implying some form of justice. His crime? Being the head of a healthcare company whose policies they didn’t like. Anthony Fauci, by his acts, lies, omissions, falsehoods and blind trampling of our Bill of Rights arguably was responsible for the deaths of millions. His policies, invoked mendaciously in the name of safety, which he demonstrably knew were lies, condemned generations of Americans to lifelong health issues, loss of liberty, loss of vocation, loss of an education, an inability to see loved ones on their death beds and some of the most egregious undermining of the public health system in its history. The right responded by asking for a full disclosure of his notes, testifying under oath to elicit facts, and a full explanation of his behavior, often backed by his own diary. Fauci refused and in one final act of defiance gave our country the middle finger. Let that all sink in. Posted by: Vengeance at July 29, 2026 03:20 PM (ubBvx) 174

Do you think the author made the sign of the Hillary when they repeated this article of faith? I am not an immigration lawyer, but I imagine that holders of an expired visa have a clear path to renew their visa. That means they're not in limbo. So no, "Trust me bro, lots of people trying to follow the law are in legal limbo," isn't a compelling argument. Posted by: bonhomme at July 29, 2026 01:16 PM (mkw2N) 26

"the proposed note about "that is how visas work" misses the fact that many official avenues for immigration often leave aliens in immigration limbo with no legal status"
This is complete bullshit. Once your visa expires, that's it -- it's over. It's like an expired driver's license. There's no "legal limbo" about whether you can still drive. You fucking can't. At one time, when foreigners took US immigration rules seriously, they would never overstay a visa, even one that would be renewed. Because if they did, and they were caught, they would never get another visa again. I knew a lot of foreigners -- mostly from Asia -- who were here on legal visas (mostly for work or school) and wanted to eventually get a green card. They would fly back home rather than risk overstaying even a day. From home, they would get the visa renewed, and come back to USA. There was no "legal limbo" horseshit.

In theory, you can have a visa expire while applying for a change in visa etc. I was a student in Indonesia, and their visa office was so slow that I finally got my student visa extension when I had about one month left in my studies.

Posted by: whig at July 29, 2026 01:19 PM (E4rtv) ___________ Sure, some visas are renewable, but it's often not easy -- sometimes you have to go through your home country -- that begs the question of what your status is when they expire before they are renewed. There are also provisions for asking for a temporary "stay" of deportation while you are applying for a renewal. Anyone caught with an over-stayed visa and no stay in place pending renewal is a dirty fucker and can go fuck right off. There's no "legal limbo" in this case. You can limbo the fuck outta my country if they expire. Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 29, 2026 01:26 PM (iFTx/) 67

Not to be obstreperous, but over the last two years, I recall many people here citing numbers of people self-deporting in the millions, with very little in the way of supporting evidence. I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now. Are we now admitting that that was never the case?
Posted by: Archimedes You live in a shithole sanctuary state so you won't see what others in sane jurisdictions do. And yes, there are a lot of signs like dropping k12 enrollment rates, decline in arrests for crime, and other indications of home prices dropping like in the Dallas Metroplex, and so on. But, given that the estimates are that approximately 8-10 million came here in the Biden years and over a million illegals were given SSNs at the same time, it takes a while to drain the ocean of illegals. They just fired a leftist piece of shit who was head of DHS's statistics dealing with deportation numbers for underestimating deportation and underestimation of total illegals. The first rule of holes is to stop digging--DHS and Trump have done a lot to stop digging the hole deeper by sealing the border, etc. The second is the tedious but necessary draining of illegals.

I think the 'paid to deport' article is literally missing a zero. Axios says 220,000. DHS says 2,200,000
From DHS: More than 3 million illegal aliens have left the US or been deported since President Trump took office, the Department of Homeland Security has revealed. Of those 3 million, 2.2 million have opted to self-deport through a program that allows migrants to turn themselves in via a DHS app in return for a cash stipend and free flight home. Another 900,000 have been deported since Jan. 20, 2025, and as of this month, DHS has arrested 900,000 illegal aliens, according to agency figures.

There's a reason airports and airlines check your passport on the way out of the country, and most usually require at least 6 months left until the PP expires, even though you need no USA passport to leave the country.

There's a potential shit storm brewing in Houston.
ICE pinned a car which led to a lethal shooting. The hiccup; media says the cars were not marked, the cars had no cop lights (no flashers of any kind), the guy they shot, the driver, was not the person they were after and he, the driver, did not know the car that was pinning him was a cop car. Oh, the ICE agents didn't have body cams either. Can't find a clear statement from ICE on any of the above.

That's when the Obama administration started counting border turnaways as deportations and massively reduced interior enforcement. The dual-scare of 2010 (actual loss) and 2012 (stolen presidential election) seem to have convinced the Democrat Party that they needed to massively import a new migrant class to oppress the white working class that had turned on them.

But I saw a Bangladeshi person at my Costco last weekend.
So nothing has happened. Posted by: TheJamesMadison ------ I think for some, that live in blue sanctuary states, a lot has not changed and perhaps even illegal increased in their area due to fleeing areas where ICE is welcomed and supported by local and state governments. When I see the nics that claim nothing is happening, almost all of them in the past have admitted to living in blue states. If the Democrats run your state or even localities like Nashville, they try every single means to keep even criminal illegals in the US--drop criminal charges, ignore benefit laws restricting those to US citizens, or even in some cases, like Houston, trying to illegally pay immigration attorneys for illegals using public money. This is a Democrat political system desperately trying to prevent imminent loss of population, money, and political power. Essentially a war without a formal declaration or much shooting yet.

In 2 years DHS, with all its programs & drama, has gotten rid of fewer than 800,000 illegals.

It's probably less. The majority is done by local cops with 287g agreements who find out legal status upon a standard interaction, arrest them, call ICE, and wait for some DHS personnel to show up. Texas is heavily invested in the system and represent the largest plurality of deportations in the nation. The entire west coast have state laws barring local cops from entering these agreements.

"The most accepted number of undocumented is 12,000,000
Hasn't that been the "accepted number" since the '90s?" In the early 2000's it was usually reported in the MSM as an estimated 15-20 million, which seemed about right and admitted the uncertainty to eh actual number. Then when it became an issue it sudden dropped to 11 million based on some BS studies using no hard data to come up with a politically acceptable number. It has even been reported at 11 million even after Biden allowed in another 10-12 million. Actual number can be no less than 40 million based on US demographics Posted by: Ripley at July 29, 2026 02:03 PM (GUOwU) 265

Another point with immigration and voting. The Dems have used illegals to create rotten boroughs where there are few citizens voting.

I strongly suspect that the lack of immigration national news since Goode and Pretti were two fold. The first was the the Bovino and Noem show did end. Mullin took a different tact and there were fewer convoys. Smaller teams going in and doing the work. The other is that the issue probably didn't actually focus group that well. White leftists making asses of themselves (which hasn't stopped, just the national coverage of it) just played poorly, so the media found another squirrel to focus on.

Employer/workplace enforcement is either non-existent, or minimal and well-concealed. And it's far far more important, with more leverage to actually resolve the problem, then every other enforcement campaign. They're all valuable and needed, but ..... hard to be hopeful that the key enforcement avenue will be pursued. Would be nice to see something get done.
Goes without saying that the real issue here is lawlessness, and a mindset that views lawlessness as OK. A mindset that has rotted the institutions, the "courts", and much of the populace, from brainless suburban/blue haired moral narcissists to business owners to public "employees".

It's much harder to get back in now. This isn't the Biden regime where you just walk up to the border, shout "amnesty," and they walk you right in.
I also think the waiver you sign to get the money says you ain't never coming back. So if you try to come back, even if you could get into the country to do so, in theory you can't get a visa and should be catapulted back to Cannibalia. Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 29, 2026 01:34 PM (iFTx/) I thought it was the other way around, and it's a three-carrot scheme, where in addition to cash and transportation, they also remain eligible for future legal entry (unlike if they're forcibly deported). They just have to go through the formal (potentially years-long) process, applying for entry from outside the country and waiting for permission like a normal person. Maybe I just assumed based on what I thought would make sense, but that's what I thought I remembered reading somewhere. Posted by: SciVo at July 29, 2026 02:08 PM (Sy6m/) 288

It's much harder to get back in now. This isn't the Biden regime where you just walk up to the border, shout "amnesty," and they walk you right in.
I also think the waiver you sign to get the money says you ain't never coming back. So if you try to come back, even if you could get into the country to do so, in theory you can't get a visa and should be catapulted back to Cannibalia. Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 29, 2026 01:34 PM (iFTx/) I thought it was the other way around, and it's a three-carrot scheme, where in addition to cash and transportation, they also remain eligible for future legal entry (unlike if they're forcibly deported). They just have to go through the formal (potentially years-long) process, applying for entry from outside the country and waiting for permission like a normal person. Maybe I just assumed based on what I thought would make sense, but that's what I thought I remembered reading somewhere.

The BIG picture of the cost of ONE illegal in the state of CA annually is roughly $7K. That's what is admitted Free everything from healthcare to housing...all illegal. Illegal Medicaid dollars spent, and probably more than reported plus their illegal vote. House Budget Committe states CA totals of illegals are $30 billion by taxpayers. Healthcare: $8.4 billion. Education: $3.4 billion. Policing/court/jail: $4.4 billion. In ONE State. This money does not include the Nick Shirley discovered fraud of illegals that climbs to hundreds of millions.

Posted by: Andy_in_Colorado at July 29, 2026 02:54 PM (awKPx) Deep State Mafia Boss Anthony "Little Bones" Fauci Pleads the FifthThis is what I thought he would do. But now I wonder if he has any legal right to invoke the Fifth. He was pardoned for all crimes he committed for a ten (or eleven?) year period, 2014 to 2024. Therefore, speaking about his activities then does not incriminate him as he cannot be prosecuted. He could admit the broke every law in America, but that's not self-incrimination, because he can't be prosecuted for what he says. He could be prosecuted for crimes since then, but not for crimes between 2014 - 2024. When a court or Congress wants testimony from someone invoking the Fifth, they will grant immunity for that testimony, meaning it cannot be used in any other body in the future for purposes of punishing the testifier. Then testimony can be compelled, as there is no Fifth Amendment right just to keep a secret because you want to keep it a secret. But Congress doesn't even have to immunize Fauci -- Biden's Magic Autopen already did. So he should be compelled to testify, or be held physically in contempt until he agrees to talk. (I see now other people are talking about this.) But I doubt the GOP has the balls to do this. Update: Rand Paul wants to hold "Little Bones" Fauci in contempt:Libs of TikTokUpdate: Elric the Blade points out that Fauci can say he is invoking his right not to incriminate himself for state crimes.

He was pardoned for federal crimes only that existed at the time of the pardon. He can still be prosecuted under state laws. Plus, there are some lingering issues about the validity of his pardon. The pardon also covers only federal crimes that existed at the time of the pardon. So, if Fauci started answering questions now, possibly that could be perjury or some other process crime that would not be covered by the pardon. His lawyers almost certainly told him to shut his little drooling mouth. Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 29, 2026 12:06 PM (iFTx/) 8

Potential Fauci Rebuttals 1. The constitutionality of a blanket pardon covering crimes not yet charged has never been ruled on by SCOTUS. Therefore, he could still be charged under the theory that such a pardon is illegitimate. 2. Autopen. It is claimed that Biden didn't have anything to do with the pardon. Therefore, it is not a real pardon and he could still be charged with crimes. --Devil's Advocate Posted by: No Name Today at July 29, 2026 12:12 PM (8mulE) 28

Fauci has a pardon, an ego and a lot of fuck you money. He'll be fine.
Unless they can pin something on him prior to 2014... which is how far back his pardon goes. So, what was little Tony up to in, say, 2013, or 2012? Or before. I'd be willing to bet there's likely some grant monies that were obtained under false pretense, or something similar. Posted by: Martini Farmer at July 29, 2026 12:12 PM (jehhT) 31

A couple of lawyer thoughts;
1) Rand Paul should sue Fauci for defamation. Fauci said the statements that Paul made were "slanderous." A civil case would be outside of the autopen pardon and could force Fauci to tell the truth. 2) No reason for the Administration not to pursue a pardon is no good/pardon is good strategy contemporaneously. If the pardon is good, then it is contempt of Congress to invoke the Fifth at a hearing. If it is not, well that really makes things interesting! 3) Fauci needs to be billed for his US Marshall bodyguards and drivers that were given to him after he resigned. 4) I really wish someone would ask him that line from that "Let's Make A Dope Deal" Cheech and Chong bit "Okay, Bob, what is your name, Bob?"

Catherine Herridge has a CIA whistleblower that she interviewed and posted on her X account. He alleges, among man other things, it was the CIA that led the coverup of the origin of the virus. I believe this is the guy Rand has been referring to for some time.
This might explain why Fauci took the 5th today. He is part of a much bigger plot. It might also expiain why he was the highest paid employee of the federal government including POTUS.

Though I agree that the likelihood of any real consequences are virtually zero, I take a tiny comfort that the process is the punishment. His six lawyers aren't cheap. His megalomanic behavior, which was assumed before, has been proven with the publication of his diary entries which he had tried to delete. Sure, there will be masked idiots lighting candles with his face on them for years to come. But his legendary status is being tarnished, if only a bit, and that, given his ego, must be almost unbearable. Posted by: Virginia SoCon at July 29, 2026 12:18 PM (KFbdf) 58

Fauci got a blanket pardon for things up to the date of the pardon. Put aside the robo-pen issues and assume it's a valid pardon.
Because he has a pardon Fauci can't plead the Fifth so he has to testify truthfully. Paul could set him up with a perjury trap. Or Fauci would need to sing like a canary. But hold on -- Fauci might argue that Joe's pardon is only for federal crimes so he still has exposure on past crimes and needs the Fifth. This gets into the weeds, and I'm not a criminal lawyer. Paul's next move is to hold Fauci in criminal contempt and jail him until he testifies. This happens to journalists who are protecting their sources. I'll take the bet that no judge will interfere in this. Going to jail is for contempt may be Fauci's only move. Posted by: Ignoramus at July 29, 2026 12:20 PM (dtajH) 65

Sure, it would be an uphill battle and probably ultimately unsuccessful, but so what? The process is the punishment. Fuck this malevolent gnome. And you never know.

Virtually every word and action that Fauci uttered or took while he was riding the covid wave was false, deadly, and even potentially Republic -ending through the election fraud HIS covid virus enabled.
And yet Fauci is millions of dollars richer and walking free. At the end of the hearing , Rand missed a golden opportunity to have Fauci cuffed(poor/no planning Rand) for contempt and taken to the jail in the Senate basement —so much so that the mid-terms could have switched back to the R’s favour if had done so.

AI summary,
The Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991, commonly known as the Nunn-Lugar Act, authorized U.S. funding to secure and dismantle weapons of mass destruction in former Soviet states. A key component of this legislation was the provision of employment for former Soviet weapons scientists, with the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) established to hire 58,000 scientists for peaceful research. The program initially targeted the post-Soviet states rather than the Eastern Bloc broadly, focusing on Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. It facilitated the transfer of nuclear warheads from these nations to Russia and funded the conversion of military industries to civilian use. In 2004 and 2008, Congress extended the program's scope to include counterproliferation efforts and security assistance in other regions outside the former Soviet Union.

Is it decided law that a blanket pardon is law. Removing the politics of the situation, I think it is very bad policy. I think the president should have to pardon for specific offenses for two reasons. The public preception and pressure is a check on the power of the pardon. Second, a blanket pardon could incluem pardoning a person for crimes that the president is not aware of. E.g. What if Fauci was a canibal, he has now been pardoned for that.

Fauci's actions directly lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. I suspect he could be prosecuted for negligent homicide in every state in the country. Biden's federal pardon does not cover state charges of negligent homicide. Fauci is wise to invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Posted by: Mr. Mxyzptlk The pardon power dates back to the era of the British monarch over the colonies. Since the king was the titular head of teh courts, and literally had personal immunity (sovereignty)--he could extend forgiveness for any and all crimes. This was frequently done after rebellions where multiple violations of the king's law happened but in the interest of quelling societal unrest, the king pardoned all. An early test of the American pardon was G. Washington pardoning participants in the Whisky Rebellion. Later you had the blanket pardons of the Southern rebels which led to Carter's blanket pardon of Vietnam draft evaders. Posted by: whig at July 29, 2026 12:46 PM (E4rtv) 185

What the [REDACTED] was he doing between 2014 and 2019 that he needed to be pardoned for?

This was their chance to admit that they were wrong to trust Fauci.
Blame what on Fauci? His dictatorial decrees to the world to which everyone must subscribe? No, because that overlooks - the massive, ignorant blindness among our political class as they mandated compliance to Fauci's directives; - the massive, ignorant blindness among our healthcare industry as they sought enforcement of Fauci's directives under the laws and regulations passed by legislators and City Council folks; - the massive, ignorant blindness of business leaders as they succumbed with scarcely a murmur about the restrictions of Fauci's directives; - the massive, ignorant blindness among academia and educational systems - persistent to this day - as they dutifully re-spouted lie after lie after lie about the COVID mess. And on and on. And then that all gets swept away under the heading "it was a mass hallucination." Which explains nothing, and should not be allowed to exonerate anything. The powers exercised against the people were far broader than those espoused by just a little poison dwarf shirking his role. Posted by: LCMS Rulz! at July 29, 2026 12:50 PM (bufu1) 196

>>Somebody, somewhere may decide to take justice into their own hands.
If only. I'll repeat what I posted the other day. My wife passed away in August of last year. Cause of death was Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP). She had taken the J&J vaccine when it became available, which was mid-2002. Initial onset of symptoms began in May of last year. After a multitude of tests, her specialists could not determine the cause of her symptoms. She was hospitalized in August, placed in ICU and passed away 5 days later. NIH insists that there is presently no known link between TTP and the J&J vaccine. I call bullshit. TTP is caused by a deficiency in a certain blood enzyme which causes the platelets in the blood to cluster (clot) and disperse throughout the body causing significant damage to internal organs if not diagnosed early and treated. If you'll recall, the J&J vaccine was pulled due to reported medical cases of significant clotting. Early on, certain medical experts who opposed the rush to vaccination stated that they expected reports of vaccine injury/death to peak in the 3-5 year period following vaccination. My wife took the vaccine in 2022 and died in 2025. Posted by: one hour sober at July 29, 2026 12:52 PM (J4Dwc) 206

" If this blanket pardon bullshit works, then Trump should resign January 19th, JD Vance swears in as P and immediately pardons Trump for anything and everything dating back to 2010, just for shits and grins."
Trump can pardon himself. There is no publication requirement, so I don't think he'd be the first President to do so - pretty sure that Clinton did it. And whoever was running the autopen that day, almost certainly granted Biden one. These pardons can sit in a safe somewhere and not be brought out unless and until a former President has been convicted and about to be sentenced.

Rev. Wishbone: ">After the first 15 times, end the hearing and call him in contempt. Why waste everybody's time?"
Fauci's a malignant, egomaniacal narcissist who needs appreciation and adoration like oxygen. While legal punishment is lacking at the moment, the social punishment and destruction of his legacy is catastrophic for his psyche. He was dressed down like few in American history have ever been, and this is just the opening salvo. His name is sh*t now and it won't be forgotten in spite of MFM attempts to whitewash and bury things. The entire planet knows what Fauci did and his own diary is every "conspiracist's" vindication. That's at least one reason you go on with the hearing. It's not insignificant. The evidence will last decades. It will empower those who "question science/government". It will crush Fauci emotionally. Posted by: AnonyBotymousDrivel at July 29, 2026 12:56 PM (oji8u) 221

>>That said I don't want US to take our eye off the ball. This whole thing is much much bigger than Bizarro Travelocity Gnome.
Exactly. As I've been saying all along, there is no way Fauci could have done this alone. This was run by the intel community or at least supported. Much of the federal government was weaponized to convince the country this was a naturally occuring virus that required extreme steps including shutting down the entire country, masking everyone 7 x 24, forcing vaccines and on and on. It also paved the way for mass mail in ballots that allowed for unprecedented election rigging. This stuff didn't happen in a vacuum and it wasn't just Fauci. He's a thread to a much bigger conspiracy that has taken many forms over the years but always ends up with screwing us and taking our freedoms.

Listen to that interview Catherine Herridge did with the CIA whistleblower. We are nowhere near the bottom of the rabbit hole.
Posted by: JackStraw ======== The bottom line is post WWII, the intel deep state community started immediately engaging in illegal acts that they justified under National Defense. It became a nasty habit to illegal surveil average citizens, use unwitting humans as targets for research, assassinate people, pay off and employ journalists, engage in manipulation of society, launch coups in friendly countries, etc. etc. etc. After the Soviet Union justification died, rather than reaim the establishment at China, they decided to aim this National Security Weapon at the American people with GHWB and Clinton at the head of that effort. 9/11 supercharged the effort and GWB played along as did Obama. When Trump astonished the Deep State, that is when the shit began to hit the fan--too many lies, too many illegal acts, too many instances that threatened the establishment with a permanent loss of power and perhaps even being subjected to justice, meant he is an direct threat to everything they have done in the past and all their power going forward.

While watching the Facui hearing today I was struck by how much it reminded me of the victim impact statements after a mass killer has been convicted.
Fauci's barely masked contempt slipped a couple times. Once when he displayed a hint of smirk early in the hearing and when his faced flushed when Sen. Hawley was ripping him up. There was two other moments that this hearing rattled him. The first was how his hands shook when reading his opening statement and a period when, if I remember correctly, his eyes were darting around while Sen. Moreno cursed his existence.

153 Fauci's actions directly lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. I suspect he could be prosecuted for negligent homicide in every state in the country. Biden's federal pardon does not cover state charges of negligent homicide. Fauci is wise to invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Posted by: Darin Zimmerman at July 29, 2026 12:39 PM (55jmf) We need a STATE to prosecute him for negligent homicide.

Fauci pardoned 2014 through 2024.
Contract extensions, renaming, amendments, referencing prior (2014 & before) contracts? AWARDED in 2014 by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under grant number R01AI110964, titled "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence." The multi-year federal award (total grant) to EcoHealth Alliance totaled roughly $3.7 million. Approximately $598,500 of those funds were funneled as a subaward directly to the Wuhan lab in China. Per audits, exactly where the remaining $3,138,860 of that $3.73 million NIH grant (R01AI110964) went? EcoHealth Alliance distributed federal funds to 'other regional partners' to assist with localized biology & logistics: Wuhan University School of Public Health received over $200,000 & $50,000+ was budgeted to East China Normal University to assist in geographic data modeling & ecological analysis of viral hotspots. In the end, EcoHealth got most. Strict federal procurement and clearance rules are governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Procurement Integrity Act, and specific agency clearance threshold. How the hell was that adhered to by NIH? Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at July 29, 2026 01:25 PM (LL19j) 289

Thanks, Ace.
Fauci is so shook, this brilliant doktor czar wizard (garden gnome) that he had to read his Fifth. Pathetic little worm. He could not memorize those words. If nothing else, a victory to beat his narcissim into the flat affect of a failed egomaniac sociopath. No fire in those beady little eyes today as his covid mask fell. His only regret is getting caught. I do hope that even stupid retarded Dims can see that IF he was ever telling the truth in the past he'd fight these charges. Pardon or not. IF he had standing. IF he hadn't put his ego before the public. IF he knew what he was talking about. IF he cared about the people he was supposed to protect and heal. It was a game for him. A chess game for control. How far could he go in the game of masks, social distancing, pushing poison, denying families their families as they died. He looked a complete and utter fool today with his pack o' lawyers (who don't care as long as they, like him, get their $$$). I rather doubt Fauci will be the toast of Martha's Vineyard, the Hamptons, or Hollyweird this summer. Of course there's always Julia, he cries into his pillow.

Posted by: Bea Arthur's Dick at July 29, 2026 06:48 PM (pE12i) Wednesday Morning Rant![]() Give credit to more sensible Democrats like Sen. John Fetterman and old Clinton hand James Carville who see the DSA slipping into the DNC like a skinsuit, and recognize the danger...The danger isn't hard to recognize. It has a great big red flashing arrow reading "DANGER" pointing right at it. What is astounding is that many seem to be surprised by it. How can men like Carville - or even those on the right (pseudo or otherwise) - be surprised by these developments? The PJ Media article touches on it, albeit as a simple lament: The advantage we hold -- at least for now -- over the DSA, is that they have spokesweasels like Romer going to TV, actually trying to sell a radical agenda wholesale instead of piecemeal. Today's voters won't have it, but what about tomorrow's voters, the ones who were never taught American history or civics?This is why those generations are not taught anything recognizable as history or civics. This was the point. This is why the Left did their Gramscian March. The March has been grinding on for decades, designed to bring us to where we are now. The core issue - and it's one that has been obvious for at least a decade, even for those only paying casual attention - is that the March has to end eventually. If they spend decades subverting, capturing and refocusing institutions, they must take their gains at some point. The March depends on a stage of final conversion. In that final stage, they collect their winnings and use them to formally do away with the old system and replace it with the new one. Once most means of effective opposition are destroyed, they must formalize what they built. The Long March must be followed by the Rapid Conversion. The sticking point is the question of when. Not everyone in the coalition will be on board at the same time and universally agree that the time to attempt Conversion has come. The last time it seemed to come up in earnest was under Obama, and the non-Conversionists won that round. The March continued, albeit a bit a faster. The drive to Conversion was accelerated, but Conversion was not attempted. There is a generational issue at play, as well, in that the people to whom they've promised Conversion will eventually demand it. When that time comes, the Marchers have to deliver and become Conversionists or they will be destroyed by the Conversionists they so carefully bred. The conflict over Conversion must occur because first a plurality and then possibly an outright majority will demand it if the March was successful. It will be brutal and violent and filled with infighting, but it will have to happen no matter what. It's the logical end state of the March. Carville and those like him believe that the Conversion should for now remain where it has always been: in the future. Those in this camp believe that the March is not yet done, there is not yet enough control to pursue Conversion, and that attempting it now is high-risk and may result in defeat and it is reckless for the entitled Party youngsters to conflate their privileged status with actual power when the Marchers are still the rightful shot-callers. The DSA and those like them believe that those like Carville are fuddy-duddy Boomers who don't know what time it is, that Conversion needs to happen now or it will fail because the March is finished and is increasingly subject to outsider threats by regressive sub-human wreckers - and besides, they're owed it. The Marchers promised Conversion, and it's time to deliver - or else. I don't know which camp is correct, but it was obvious that they had to reach this point. The Marchers spent decades cultivating radical, amoral (at best) monster babies and their efforts brought stupendous success. They got an entire generation of monster babies, and it was a mega-generation at that. The Millennials are a radical generation, lovingly crafted by the Marchers to be aggressively progressive - and it worked. The Marchers developed them and promised them victory. Now that they're middle-aged, the Millennials are moving into positions of real power and as they move up, they want to realize what they were promised - and they have the extra motivation of an aggressive push from below by their even more radical (if numerically smaller and much less monolithic) younger cohorts. The March is not yet quite in the rearview mirror, but it is in its endgame. Conversion will be attempted, and the only remaining open questions are "when" and "will it work?" I don't know, but I think Carville is whistling past the graveyard and knows it. He and his kind spent decades promising Conversion - and their monster babies are getting tired of waiting.

It is worth remembering that the Boomers were similarly divided between the radical left and the majority of more conservative people. The radicals all got jobs in academia, media, and politics, but their world view got demolished by Reagan. Most Boomers became stockbrokers, got mortgages and kids, and in general, became propagators of traditional Americanism. I am hopeful something similar is brewing.

I don't think the rise of the DSA and guys like Neville Singham being investigated are a coincidence.

The problem I have with the Fauci grilling is that it's kind of like how they handled Hitler. They put it ALL on ONE GUY. So he's the fall guy. In reality, Fauci is just another puppet, working for larger, darker forces, who escape being exposed. When I hear Republicans say it was all to feed Fauci's personal megamania and bank accounts, it's just disgusting.
Ask, "Why are the Dems so unanimously on Fauci's side?" Their states were harmed more than red states! Fauci was part of a REPUBLICAN administration! Why aren't they trying to pin this on TRUMP!?! This is a MEDICAL matter, right? [sarc] The answer is because they work for the same puppeteers that pulled Fauci's strings, and Trump is their worst enemy.

The ignorant have always voted, especially since women started voting. Now the totally ignorant, men and women raised in the public indoctrination centers some still call schools, will be voting. I don't see a happy ending since these people (2-3 generations, at least) have been taught nothing but communist jibberish all their lives.

Give credit to more sensible Democrats like Sen. John Fetterman and old Clinton hand James Carville who see the DSA slipping into the DNC like a skinsuit, and recognize the danger...
This is like older generations bitching about younger ones, unwilling to admit the obvious: that these young monsters are of their own making. Guys like Fetterman just thought his party's radicalism, like ending whiteness, was never going to be apply to him. He never had a complaint until they began trying to prod him into a cattle car.

Why does the DSA message resonate?
Because the vast majority of Republicans offer nothing. No alternative message. They do nothing. Because we don't have leaders*, we have managers. They didn't "come up" through America--they were born in the C-suite. Their loyalty is to their caste, not to their country. * except Trump. And oh how much they hate him for that. So much of their seething hatred is born from exposing that they'd rather safely manage the decline of America than take a stand, any stand at all, to protect and save her. Look at where their passion flashes, where their blood shows: It's never for America, for her people, for you. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at July 29, 2026 11:29 AM (3cUTc) 48

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
The difference is the old standard-bearer of Democratic socialism was old, ugly, angry Bernie Sanders almost incoherently screeching about "Wall Street." He was like the frowning, scowling, smelly uncle screaming at trees that nobody wanted to invite to family events. But even then, Bernie probably woulda been the Democrap nominee in 2016 -- if he didn't take a dive for Hillary. The newer gen of Dem socialists are younger, mostly better looking, more dynamic, with generally more positive messages, and much more media-savvy. Of course this is a much better "pitch" to voters. It also comes at the right time when the country is staggeringly wealthy and there's an entire younger generation of over-educated but under-qualified "downwardly mobile elites" who want the CEO's salary but don't want to work for it. The old decrepit wing of the Democrap party will cling to power until it's ripped from their dying hands. But that day is coming.

Make no mistake. The messaging about the DSA will "evolve".
Right now Democrats are simply calling them extreme. Check back a little later when it's "they might be extreme but they have a message and are getting traction, we would be crazy to ignore them" Then "what might seem extreme to us is not extreme to people who have grown up very unhappy in capitalism. They have only seen inequality and they want better things for all." Then - "you know, at one time, the dominant parties thought Civil Rights was extreme. Maybe it's just a matter of perspective." Etc etc etc and on and on and yawn and yawn I already have the whole movie in my head. That's just the next few.

The "civil service" working class -- people in government working blue-collar type jobs -- are big on DSA because DSA is basically Very Big Government. When you work for the government, you want a avaricious, ever-expanding government because that's who pays your salary and gives you raises. DSA is your ticket to that. The working class that rejects DSA is the same kind of working class that's been gravitating to MAGA: private-sector working class that sees Very Big Government as a threat to their livelihoods and freedoms.

If everyone regardless of the exact beliefs and methods, seems to agree that the "DSA" is going to take over a major party - then that leaves only the opposition in question.
And as an opposition party, Republicans have not been living their best life, but once a generation lead by a TV personality. That means we know two things. Democrats are about to become much more open about being a communist party. And two, if past (and current, looking at you SAVE) performance is an indicator of future success, Republicans aren't gonna put up a whole lot of a fight.

An excellent post.
I'm old(er) and view Carville as just trying to keep riding high on his War Room persona & antics of yesteryear. He, Bill & Hillary, George Stephanopoulos, many other old American heads still floating around are done governing anything & anyone - unless they're sending big money. Fetterman is from PA, had young parents who worked for their success. He attended great schools, married a woman who came with her mom & brother to the US illegally, & they now have 3 kids in private school. But ALL in their household routinely interface with 'common' people. Millennials are a different, crafted species altogether. In institutional power, they may have deeply progressive views on climate change, economic inequality, and social justice, but their methods will shift toward policy, legislation, and bureaucratic management. Much of their political focus may be structural reforms to affordability & family support systems & rewriting internal rules of governance & corporate culture instead of tearing it down. But their children will also be quite different governing: 👉Generation Alpha: The Radical Trajectory And a radical Conversion WILL happen, radically.

Fauci got a blanket pardon for things up to the date of the pardon. Put aside the robo-pen issues and assume it's a valid pardon.
Because he has a pardon Fauci can't plead the Fifth so he has to testify truthfully. Paul could set him up with a perjury trap. Or Fauci would need to sing like a canary. But hold on -- Fauci might argue that Joe's pardon is only for federal crimes so he still has exposure on past crimes and needs the Fifth. This gets into the weeds, and I'm not a criminal lawyer. Paul's next move is to hold Fauci in criminal contempt and jail him until he testifies. This happens to journalists who are protecting their sources. I'll take the bet that no judge will interfere in this. Going to jail is for contempt is Fauci's best move. Posted by: Ignoramus at July 29, 2026 12:11 PM (dtajH) 162

Those in this camp believe that the March is not yet done, there is not yet enough control to pursue Conversion
Actually, for some number of them, they think the Conversion is already done. They wanted to halt the train at the last stop. They just wanted to knock down enough of the old to get to that point, then they wanted to get off. These are the people that idiots claim are "red-pilled" because they only want gays and not trans-folk - like JK Rowling. They're still socialists or Progressives, but they didn't want the full Gramscian March. And most of them don't realize that once they get the train going to the stop they desire, it has to keep going - going back to their stop will eventually bring them right back here some time in the future. It has to. That is the purpose of the journey. Posted by: GWB at July 29, 2026 12:36 PM (kU0PQ) 166

This looks like a family in mourning due to the loss of a beloved member of the family thanks to COVID-1878.
There was a previous corona virus outbreak in the US/Europe in the 1800s that came from central Asia. The current descendant disease is labeled OC43. It is currently experienced as a flu like illness and amazingly I remember several researches found exposure to OC43 gives significant immune resistance to COVID19 but there was never any interest in leveraging that...

At UPI: "Researchers studying marmots in Colorado are compensating for the loss of federal funding by showing off the animals on OnlyFans."
Some of their govt 'research' funding was cut last year, and I can see why by inspecting their website. They've been 'studying' marmots since 1962, and still haven't figured them out. They f'n love 'science,' which is cool and all that, but not needful of govt funding, IMHO.

Has there been one serious analysis done on this painting in the comments so far?
One? No. No, there has not. After all the effort CBD puts in, particularly in arranging for Kris to provide education and examples of how to approach art critically, this is how The Horde repays him? You have gone far beyond disappointing him. You have driven him to reside in New Jersey. *New Jersey*! To forego many of the simple pleasures of life, such as maple syrup on French Toast. To increasingly shoot 9mm instead of .45 ACP. We are driving him to the depths of despair, deeper even than Ace's lack of close tags is pushes him. #BeBetter Posted by: Duncanthrax at July 29, 2026 10:25 AM (0sNs1) 164

There seems to be disagreement over Fauci taking the 5th on every question since he's been pardoned. It'd be nice if some legal eagle would set the record straight on all that.
And, Fauci's pardon goes back to 2014. What he'd do in 2014 that would require a pardon? That was years before covid. Was he engaged in something unsavory back then too? Rand Paul should ask Fauci about that. Posted by: Martini Farmer at July 29, 2026 10:26 AM (jehhT) 168

Persons employed by the government should not be able to plead the 5th. Government employment has a great many perqs and privileges. In exchange for that, everyone is sworn in and takes an Oath of office. Even the fucking mailman is sworn in upon hiring.

The artist's talent is obvious: realistic, natural skin tones and effective details. Everything is in proportion and the poses are natural. But damn! If they aren't supposed to be at a funeral or wake they are one dour group.

Exposure times for early photography were long compared to today. It was hard to maintain a smile that long so they seldom did.

, with Fauci pleading the 5th everywhere, it's the equivalent of him jumping up, swinging his dick to everyone and bidding them adieu, and yelling "KONNICHIWA BITCHES" on the way out.
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Canc Why these hearings are useless. Charge him, take him to court, make his life misserable, make them settle the pardon issue publicly. He'll die before its over, so endeavor to make his every day as terrible as we can. And expensive. Posted by: From about That Time at July 29, 2026 10:42 AM (sl73Y) 228
Fauci's hearing is going just as I expected. Grand standing by the politicians, stonewalling by the 21st Century version of Mengele.

Fauci's hands were shaking so much I am surprised he could read his little whine document. That's all I saw as I can't deal with it live.
I thought with his pardon he couldn't 5th out? He looks rather tired and bedraggled, so that's a comfort for me. Not dapper and attracting movie stars today for his diary, as that was nausea inducing yesterday. I would play "That Was Yesterday" by Foreigner but going to bed last night made me tired today.

Fear is a powerful motivator. The media spent 6 months saying the virus could live for 12 days on a surface. It was a bioweapon so it was preposterous but somewhat believable. People can be controlled through fear. The idea thar they can't scare people again with something else is unfortunately wishful thinking. You also can't make compliant/owned governors and mayors keep thing open and running. And at that point what do you do? Organize and demand people open things? How far will that go?

La Famille Dubourg
Henri Fantin-Latour La Famille Dubourg is an 1878 oil painting by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour that depicts his wife, fellow painter Victoria Dubourg, alongside her family. The artwork is currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France. Maybe because of the formal gathering & lack of animated expressions, it seems mom & dad are being shaken down for their last dollar. Would pass hanging of today's art selection.

TIP OF ICEBERG: 75,000 noncitizens were summoned for jury duty in New Jersey, blowing the state's motor voter scandal wide open.
GOP lawmakers are now demanding a bipartisan investigation with subpoena power, saying the governor's internal probe is too narrow to capture the full scope of the problem. Republicans say they warned for years that automatic voter registration relied on an "honor system" with no real safeguards — and were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. https://tinyurl.com/ycxbhpbm Posted by: rickb223 at July 29, 2026 11:11 AM (ueR9s) Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at July 29, 2026 11:11 AM (O7YUW) 326

Good morning kids. Lots of news to unpack this morning, especially the thoroughly unsurprising yet utterly disgusting revelations about Anthony Fauci courtesy of his little red book, that is his diary. It is not hyperbole to state that he has the blood of tens if not hundreds of thousands of people on his hands because of his direct actions in creating the COVID-19 virus for the Red Chinese and then unleashing it on the world in a lab that was in whole or in part funded by our taxpayer dollars. This horrid bastard will for sure be roasting in Hell one day, but likely will be untouched by our justice system, such as it is. As it turns out, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is good for something after all. Just to recap, Paul obtained and released more than 1,100 pages of the private diaries Fauci kept between 2019 and 2022 as part of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s investigation into the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. You've probably seen by now that they contained a lot of Fauci fawning over himself and tracking his own celebrity, awards, and media coverage, as well as him saying some not so nice things about his critics.. . Then-Sen. Rubio was quite critical of many of Fauci's statements back then, particularly saying that there was no need for people to go around wearing masks. He also accused Fauci of distorting the percentage of the population that would require vaccinations to reach herd immunity. Fauci's response? He said he was being a "real a*****e."Speaking of Marco Rubio, Democrat election thievery as well as Democrat-fomented assassination attempts and political terrrorism notwithstanding, I think Marco Rubio stands a pretty good chance at becoming POTUS if not in this go round then perhaps 2032 or afterwards. His tenure as Secretary of State has been outstanding, the situation in Iran notwithstanding, although that situation really is on President Trump, and it is his to resolve despite the fact that he's dealing with dark age savages intent on unleashing armageddon on the world as the precursor to total Islamic conquest of the planet, But as for Rubio, under the aegis of Trump, he is on the cutting edge of helping transform the perpetually socialist Latin America into free-market America friendly nations. And as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and in the sidebar) Cuba might at long last be on the verge of if not at the very least have a shot at liberating itself as the tropical paradise caribbean gulag that it has been condemned to suffer for 67 years. It seems that Rubio and Trump are making the moves to see that come to fruition. The truth is it's a complicated process. This isn't Venezuela. We likely won't have a clean and tidy(-ish) ending to the regime. You can't just take out one guy, neutralize his cronies, cut off their revenue stream, and start over with Marco Rubio in charge. The Cuban regime is older, more decentralized, and designed to withstand such moves. The power lies within the Communist Party, the military’s economic empire (GAESA), and a deep security apparatus. There's also the media problem. The number of MSM fake news stories from anonymous sources about Cuba is exhausting, and it drives me insane how many prominent people report on them or share them as if they are fact. For example, for a while, there was this idea that the Trump administration's goal for liberating Cuba was the end of this year. It was fun to buy into, and I didn't find it all that outlandish pre-Iran, but Rubio put a stop to that kind of talk last week when speaking to the press.Well, as the President himself is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. Look how far we've come from "Little Marco" to perhaps being his most trusted and effective ally. As for Iran, this just underscores who and what we're dealing with. Both men were convicted on charges stemming from clashes that Iranian authorities say resulted in the deaths of four security officers. Human rights groups say the men were sentenced after proceedings marred by allegations of torture, forced confessions, and closed-door trials. The executions stem from the nationwide uprising that began in late December after a currency collapse, soaring inflation, and worsening living conditions sparked protests across Iran. Iranian regime forces responded with a sweeping crackdown that included internet shutdowns, mass arrests, and the widespread use of lethal force. . . Videos shared by Iran International showed residents gathering overnight in hopes of stopping the executions before authorities dispersed the crowd.We've long hoped and prayed that something might ignite the spark that at long last lets the Iranian people take to the streets and directly take on the regime, or gives those within the security services the ability to turn on their overlords and join the people. At this point, it's a pipe dream but that's what the Ceaucescus thought as they were hoisted up on a lamp post not all that long ago. And who knew that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were Mullahs (here they whip the women round about midnight)... ¡Cuba Libre, Iran Libre! And most importantly AMERICA LIBRE!!!!!! You’d think socialism’s 100-plus-year record of failure would be enough to dissuade people from embracing tenets that led to the horrors of Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, etc. But hope springs eternal, apparently. (And, just for the record, despite what Bernie Sanders says, the Nordic countries are not socialist. Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway come in seventh, eighth, 10th, and 11th, respectively, in the Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom. Switzerland comes in second place. The U.S. ranks 22nd.) What’s even more unfathomable is why Democrats have such a positive view of the DSA when they reject many of its central positions. Have a good day,

Mamdami's grocery store plan is beyond stupid and doomed to fail. I live in the South Bronx, so I know.
The plan is to put one large store in each borough. In The Bronx, it'll be over in Hunts Point which is four miles from me.

Well, China is now officially in the game with backing and supplying the IRGC with weapons, cash and supplies. Probably happening for a while now but it's out in the open and they aren't hiding it. That's probably not a good sign.
Trump, again, caved on escalation of bombing power plants and such....then did the cease fire thing again, allowing China unfettered access to flood Iran with material for war. Now Iran has the means to continually strike Gulf states and that includes our bases. We also haven't figured out drone defense to a large degree. And Trump is begging for a deal and an off ramp. Not gonna happen, in for a penny in for a pound. Let's hope he doesn't fall for the ground troops trick. Reordering global energy markets? Good. Screwing with China and setting them back in that regard? Good Gulf States turning on Iran? Good. Everything else? Catostrophic. At least Lindsey Graham got his war before he passed.

The survey underscores broad public backing for election integrity measures. These findings make congressional Democrat obstruction of the SAVE America Act in Congress even less tenable, considering that a clear majority of the party’s supporters back election integrity measures, including voter ID.
Name one Democrat who'll lose their position due to their opposition to SAVE. I can't say that any of the Republican incumbents who've lost their offices are due, specifically, to that but Cornyn could have saved himself if only his comrades had preferred to keep him in the Senate over continuing to permit election fraud.

Mamdami's grocery store plan is beyond stupid and doomed to fail. I live in the South Bronx, so I know.
What Mamdami is saying is that he and his tribe of misfit blue hairs and third world savages in suits think that they know how to run a grocery chain better than an established grocery chains that already runs on tight margins. They get to learn about establishing a supply chain, handling multiple vendors, distribution centers, union rules, staffing, shoplifting, rotation of product, regulation and health code compliance, building maintenance, covering utility, insurance and taxes from cash flow. Essentially they will hire according to DEI totem pole, will have deadbeats and entitled bureaucrats in shop aprons and we see a repeat of the empty shelves, rats and filth that accompany every other attempt of command and control economies. The woman who was punching out a MdDonald's employee over nugget count last week? She's the manager of the store now. Posted by: Community Notes at July 29, 2026 07:58 AM (pawvM) 53

>> China is restocking the IRGC with missiles.
Says Reuters. Denied by every intel agency. Think of who would benefit from floating that narrative. Then you will find the source. Most MANPADS have unique signatures. Imagine one launching against our combat aircraft, and what a shitstorm that would produce. China has a very small interest in propping up Iran. It’s mostly devoted to spreading out our forces so we can’t concentrate on them. That’s not worth the confrontation that supplying those weapons would produce. BTW Reuters is one of the organizations on the China graft list. Posted by: Vengeance at July 29, 2026 08:00 AM (zfkPG) 57

Good morning, friends, and as always, thank you J.J. for pulling this together for us. I am positive Fauci believes he was doing the right thing, even on the side of the angels. His ends justified his means, his hubris overshadowed truth. It is more scary to me that he was unable to see how awful he was over someone who knew what they were doing was wrong but did it anyway. He should be hung from the gallows, but we have a legal system, not a justice system. We can at least hang on to the fact his whole motivation was being seen as a savior, and that has been completely ripped away from him. He will be remembered as a small, tiny, ugly man whose legacy is evil, not the canonized version he imagined himself to be in history books.

Fauci's relentless push for gain of function research, even when it was shot down by the DoD and others, is what led to research being done in Wuhan. He knew as soon as he saw the design of the virus where it came from and he knew he was ultimately at least partially responsible.
It was obvious from day 1 the virus didn't come from a pangolin getting in on with a bat in a wet market, Fauci knew it didn't and said so in his diary, but he continued to lie to the world to protect himself.

But, he's certainly making some odd decisions like palling around with Ol' Tucky Tuckerson. I'm beginning to think that he's finally figured out that whoever follows Trump in office will have to have the same will of iron to get things done, because enemies are all-around and will feel freer to act once Trump no longer has the Presidency. It will be a tough 8 years and he has young kids. That may be the deciding factor because it's unlikely he'll get to spend a lot of time with them. And, a 'kinder, gentler Trump" won't fly in those circumstances. But, eh, we'll see. Posted by: naturalfake at July 29, 2026 08:17 AM (iJfKG) 126

It's a challenge to make a legal case on complicated matters solely using paper. It helps enormously to have a live witness connect the dots on the paper.

That was a conscious and deliberate choice, and he knew what he was doing.
Posted by: Frasier Crane at July That is what I meant by hubris overshadowing truth. If you read his diaries, which are very candid, he never says “this is wrong, I shouldn’t, but the cash…” or “I have concerns with the efficacy and we should stop to look at data objectively” . He did make many conscious decisions, but he never thought those decisions were wrong, or unethical. The man solicited prizes and awards, but never once did he think that might be sketchy. He believed he was right. He never thought earning money from this would be unethical. I don’t know that he has any ethics, beyond those he created and those ethics are frightening. The only thing he didn’t do was commission a cape. Posted by: Piper at July 29, 2026 08:23 AM (Wmg4n) 140

The diaries themselves are evidence of his hubris- he wrote them on government computers. He chronicled what he did every day, there was not consideration for it being a potential exhibit A. It was more a potential, here history book writers, I made this so easy for you! I am sure he saved all of this and brought it home when he retired. The only thing pointing to him knowing this may not be as amazing as originally thought was when he deleted it all. But did he delete it? Or did someone else?

Me neither. And Trump has always been against endless ground wars in the Middle East. So he's trying a different route using strategic strikes that are increasing in intensity and economic strangulation instead. Will it work? Remains to be seen.

>>“These are people who have helped Springfield really come back. Springfield has been making a real comeback. The Haitians who are living there and are employed there, they came there to work and they came there because there were jobs that were not being filled by other people,” he said.
“These are people who have opened restaurants, they’ve opened other businesses, they’ve rehabbed houses, they’ve created jobs, as well as filled jobs. And so to lose them and have them not be able to work anymore and possibly taken out of this country is frankly a blow to Springfield, and it’s a blow to the state of Ohio,” he said. And how have Springfield's residents fared, governor? What? Haven't heard you talk about them yet. As far as them having "opened restaurants, they’ve opened other businesses, they’ve rehabbed houses, they’ve created jobs," yeah, because we've since learned they were given priority over citizens for SBA loans, housing, etc..

Would you have allowed Iran to get nuclear capable weapons that could reach Europe and soon the US mainland or tried to stop them?
Europe didn't seem to care. In fact: European powers tried to create a special payment system called INSTEX in 2019 to bypass U.S. sanctions and keep trade alive with Iran in 2015 with the JCPOA, the EU sprinted to work deals with Iran. In 2018, Trump threatened EU to stop or that the EU would lose access to the US's financial system. So Europe never had any fear of Iran lobbing nukes in their direction. EU's only fear was pissing off Trump. Once Trump leaves office, the EU is going right back in to Iran to do business as usual. Posted by: Community Notes at July 29, 2026 08:50 AM (rgGn5) 223

More than ever, tie a chain around his ankle, hook the other end to the hitch on a hot 3/4 ton pickup, and hit the gas to the floor. Or, given that azzwipe receives the highest pension in the realm of Fed employees, convert one year's pay into dollar bills, stuff them up his lying, coup-leading, murderous, self-aggrandizing ass, and light him up with a propane enema.

Among his many, many loathsome traits, Fauci's utter lack of empathy really stood out.
Shortly after Fauci flopped from arguing masks do not good to arguing everyone had to be double masked we have an email chain he had with a friend of his where she pointed out people around her weren't masking and asked Fauci if that was dangerous. His answer? No. Posted by: 18-1 at July 29, 2026 09:12 AM (sKqQm) 303

Florentine is just a fancy word that drives up the price. Like using the preface...
Posted by: Tuscan _______ I had the famous Florentine tbone at a place on the piazza duomo 25 years ago. Unimpressed. But it was probably touristy and not the best place to go. The gelato, on the other hand, was friggin' fantastic. Posted by: Biff Pocoroba at July 29, 2026 09:00 AM (XvL8K) The beautiful and globe-trotting Mrs naturalfake and I ate a wonderful Bistecca alla Fiorentina in Florence. The recipe is dead simple. So, the important part is in the technique. Basically, a two inch Porterhouse, salt and a masterful sear completely covering the steak in Maillard Reaction glory while leave the interior rare. I have a relative in the food biz who recommended the place as the place to get Steak Florentine. It was a dumpy, little, out of the way, five table restaurant but the food was really, really good. Anyway, Florentine isn't just a word, unless they're not actually making a Steak Florentine. Posted by: naturalfake at July 29, 2026 09:14 AM (iJfKG) 308

After the decision was made to go in there, then we should have just leveled the place and stopped dicking around with this stop and go shit for months on end. It's getting old.
Why is it getting old? Aside from higher gas prices how is what's happening in Iran affecting any of us in any way? Gas prices would be going up if Trump completely destroys Iran. You can't just remove that supply of oil from the world supply and have it not have an affect. What is not being reported nearly enough is that while this is happening the Middle East is being reordered. The Saudis are now actively attacking Iran and so are others. The Abraham Accords are growing. We don't need another ISIS in Iran just like we got in Iraq, Syria and Libya. There are repercussions to blowing up a Middle East country and leaving.

Morning, Horde. I think my biggest source of wrath towards Fauci is that he appears to be a completely unrepentant sociopath - he doesn't think there's anything wrong with what he did, and besides, it got him accolades, so how can it be wrong?
McConnell... has only ever coincidentally done things that we wanted. Like most of that crew of reprobate and ne'er-do-wells. Marco, well... like many of you, I like what I'm seeing these days. I hope it's deep and sincere. Iran sanctions: Europe has always seen sanctions as a polite fiction.

I have no idea what will happen to Fauci, but if he isn't held accountable in this life it is my belief that he will be in the next.
I am also glad that I am not Fauci. Despite being very wealthy, I would not want to be in the position of having to have armed guards all the time because so many people are angry at me. Trump has the same deal, but he was not responsible for so much hurt and anger because of Covid lockdowns and the death of millions. I believe at some point Fauci said " I don't need religion because I have by own moral framework" or something like that . Yeah, great framework you have there, Anthony.

Above, 'A blow to the state of Ohio.'
AI Overview, just Edu. While the state did not scale up its workforce as a whole, specific cities experiencing rapid population growth from legally present immigrant & refugee communities were forced to hire specialized staff: Springfield City School District: Due to an influx of Haitian families, the district used pandemic-relief funds to hire about two dozen English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and multiple Haitian-Creole interpreters to accommodate hundreds of new students. Columbus and Urban Hubs: Districts with high newcomer populations have actively tried to recruit multilingual instructors. However, these efforts are often restricted by complex certification rules for immigrant educators, making rapid scale-ups difficult. Rather than creating unique roles, schools scale up existing positions. The state employs an estimated 43,000 immigrants within its broader education services sector. School districts independently hire ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers, Bilingual Assistants, and International Student Liaisons to manage language gaps, but these positions serve all non-native speakers regardless of legal status.

No, but you are implying blowing up Iran won't cause higher gas prices. It will. If we could fill the gap from oil disruptions that large we wouldn't have higher gas prices now.
Posted by: JackStraw at July 29, 2026 09:19 AM (viF8m) ------------ Iranian oil supply to the world market was about 3 million barrels a day last year, a small amount easily made up from other suppliers, including us. So blowing up Iran would have nearly a zero impact on gas prices. But Iran choking off the flow through Hormuz, of oil, natgas, and fertilizer feedstocks, now that has an impact.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at July 29, 2026 09:51 AM (M/TSA) Thank you - the idea that we can’t touch Iran’s oil industry is a straw man argument because: A) it by itself is not that big a part of world production, and B) we have no strategic need to do it, so long as they’re not able to sell it. The Iranian effort to block Saudi, Kuwaiti, and other middle eastern oil supplies from the market is what is damaging. Ending That, and achieving full control over the straits, is what MUST be done in order for lower oil prices to come about. Iran is holding world oil prices hostage. You never get your hostages back by meekly negotiating with the hostage takers. Posted by: Tom Servo at July 29, 2026 09:59 AM (y4wXR) 429

When I last visited were going underground. Maybe we can rise above that:
Minneapolis, MN, USA – Skyway System: ~9.5–10+ miles connecting 80+ blocks and 150+ buildings, mostly at the 2nd (sometimes 3rd) floor. Links offices, retail, restaurants, hotels, sports venues, and some residences. One of the largest continuous systems; public during business hours. Calgary, Canada – +15 (Plus 15) Walkway: 16 km with 86 bridges connecting ~130 buildings. Roughly 15 feet above street level (some +30/+45 levels). Climate-controlled public network linking downtown offices, retail, and services. KAFD (King Abdullah Financial District), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – KAFD Skyway Network: 15.46 km continuous with 42 skywalks connecting 95 buildings. Elevated, fully climate-controlled mixed-use system (offices, residences, retail, hospitality, entertainment) designed as a compact “city within a city.” Hong Kong – Central Elevated Walkway + city-wide footbridges: Extensive multi-level network across Central, Admiralty, Sheung Wan and beyond. Typically at podium levels (1st–3rd/4th floors). Dense three-dimensional public realm connecting malls, offices, hotels, MTR stations, ferries, and public spaces. Posted by: meh at July 29, 2026 05:04 AM (zZxsY) 29
Des Moines, IA, USA – Skywalk System: ~4 miles connecting 55 buildings and ~40 blocks. Climate-controlled elevated pathways linking buildings, parking, and event centers.
Winnipeg, Canada – Notable skywalk/skyway system (smaller scale than Calgary or Minneapolis). Rochester, MN, USA – Skyway system (notable but smaller). Cedar Rapids, IA, USA – Skyway system (notable but smaller). Cincinnati, OH, USA – Skywalk system (notable but smaller). Raffles City Chongqing, China – “The Crystal” skybridge system: Massive ~300 m horizontal structure connecting multiple towers at high elevation (around the 42nd-floor / ~250 m range). Links residential, commercial, hotel, and public elements; includes ticketed public skywalk/observation experiences. Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Two-story skybridge at floors 41–42 (170 m up). Ticketed public access primarily for observation and views.

It's Woden's Day again, the last of July this year.
In the story about Claud Opus, one of the responses was a reference to Jorge Luis Borges, "When the Map Becomes the Territory." That sounds familiar, though I have read very little of Borges.

Last night I dreamed about being a Clifton Webb-like college professor with a young female graduate student who seemed to find me fascinating. A college database platform was being phased out. There was a deadline to enter an online contest before the platform vanished to win an all-expenses paid trip to somewhere I didn't find interesting . . . except that said female grad student was encouraging me strongly to enter the contest (it was, conveniently, a trip for two).
The details are blurry, except the college seemed to be located in a 1970s mall, and the graduate student was a blonde. I guess that's enough to go on. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at July 29, 2026 05:53 AM (wzUl9) Posted by: Pixy Misa at July 29, 2026 05:54 AM (BLOW1) 65

The only out of the ordinary restaurant I've ever been in was the rotating one at the top of the International Trade Mart Building at the foot of Canal Street. A posh sort of restaurant, it rotated very slowly so that over an hour or so, you got a 360-degree view of the flatness of the city. The building's been closed since Katrina, more than twenty years now -- though there were once plans to make it into a hotel & apartment complex.

Listening to this geneticist from Harvard, Nathaniel Jeanson, who has managed to genetically trace everything (all of us) back to the three sons of Noah and rhyme it with historical events and the Bible.
That's the hiccup he's a creationist and he's so wrapped up in proving the 6000 yr time line that he kills the presentation. He kills the story. He makes what could be a most attractive Bible and plain historical narrative into an irritating jumble. I don't know how he keeps students.

The 65 # is a better value for sure but a weight that a lot of us women struggle with handling. Many of the hay farmers use bale barons to stack hay and straw into 21 bale bundles due to lack of labor and 45-50# create a nice bundle they can pack into closed semi trailers. And are manageable for the older women here who have horses or boarding barns. It’s tough to find strong kids willing to stack hay.

129 Gavin Newsom’s bombshell affair decades ago came back to haunt him on Tuesday as his former mistress described their fling in explosive detail — including their steamy hot tub session and the ex-aide’s confession to her husband that it was just about sex.
Ruby Rippey, a former City Hall aide to the then-San Francisco mayor, relived the scandalous tryst in an unsparing tell-all to Vanity Fair published Tuesday. ===== Mrs. F. is all over this and I will post highlights later Posted by: San Franpsycho at July 29, 2026 07:17 AM (RIvkX) Yay!

Newsom is widely expected to launch a 2028 presidential campaign after terming out of the governor’s office next year. In that context, he has sought to fully own his role in the affair, which he recounted in his memoir earlier this year. But in Rippey’s new piece, she claims that reading those parts of the memoir made her feel unsettled. Posted by: m at July 29, 2026 07:52 AM (faghi) 156

Check out this video from Twista Hunterz on Facebook ----- Big day for Dr. Fauci tomorrow. Will he show up? If so, will he actually answer any questions? ![]() Guy sure is full of himself
Cootermogging is a fresh internet slang blend of "cooter" (crude slang for female genitals) and "mogging" (looksmaxxing term for dominating or outshining someone in physical appeal). It describes a woman delivering talking points while using overtly sexual body language or presentation—tight clothes, open legs, suggestive poses—to capture and dominate male attention. Coined yesterday about a viral conservative influencer clip.Not gonna post the video in question here. But feel free to check out this post from "allan" on X to get the backstory. ----- Thomas Massie can be asshoe a lot of the time, but I think he's correct with this idea. Not sure of the specifics of his bill, but Flock cameras are VERY much asshoe! New Massie bill aims to block federal funds from cities, police that use controversial Flock Safety cameras Rep. Thomas Massie is introducing a bill to strip federal funding from any local governments or police departments that deploy controversial Flock Safety security cameras, the Kentucky Republican announced on Saturday. Flock Safety, the Atlanta-based company behind the controversial smart-cameras that can track a car based on its dents, bumper stickers and roof racks, is now the target of new legislation being sponsored by the Libertarian congressman in an effort to strengthen the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and government surveillance. *** Flock has quietly become law enforcement’s go-to surveillance tool around the country and has already wired itself into more than 5,000 police agencies nationwide with nearly 90,000 cameras since 2018, according to DeFlock, an activist group tracking the company’s surveillance and expansion. Seriously, there is an outrageous amount of overreach with all of these cameras everywhere. Here's an example from Phoenix
The elected officials who authorize this stuff don't like it when the tables are turned
Read more about Flock at this post on X So what is Flock? FLOCK: 100,000+ plate cameras bolted to poles across America. They read your plate everywhere you drive and never forget. NOVA: Flock's AI that turns your plate into you. Your name, address, family, everyone you know, in seconds, no warrant. SIGNALTRACE: a competitor's tool that tracks the Bluetooth off your phone, your AirPods, your watch. Doesn't even need your plate. Then I followed the money and the lead investor behind Flock also funds an Israeli company that can hack cameras and change the footage. Another lead investor backs a 911 app that flips on your phone's camera and mic. Trace it all the way back and you hit a former Israeli prime minister and Jeffrey Epstein's money.

I'm a retired IT guy, and I cannot figure out what all the Data Center capacity is going to be used for.
Even AI, which is a very risky bet at this point, would not need anywhere near the capacity that THIRD PARTY vendors are building in these data centers. So... as nothing is slow now, why the Yuge need for increase in capacity, being funded by third party capital? Only thing I can think of for that amount of capacity, is things like the need to be able to parse things like the Flock Cameras... and of course, going to virtual money (which, we already pretty much have).

But his lying, coveting and dishonoring his elders somehow is noble and virtuous. (even though that is three of the Big Ten) His solution? Emotional blackmail and demands for tax exemption. "Give us your money or we will go Communist!" Fine. Go vote yourself into a bullet to the back of head next to a lime pit. This is what happens when an "influencer" is influenced by the algorithms.

When we lived in SC the neighbors across the street had a beautiful magnolia tree in their front yard. It was the largest one we had ever seen. Their kids came over one day and told us their mom was going to have it removed because she could not see everything on her Ring camera. The street was not a thru street. She had an estimate for the removal and it was costly so she had her husband out on a ladder cutting off the branches. He butchered it. Mostly old people like us living there, lol. We all laughed about how exciting it was for her watching old people. Posted by: four seasons at July 28, 2026 10:34 PM (/QHx4) 104

"and I cannot figure out what all the Data Center capacity is going to be used for."
Somebody has to answer the customer support line. Its either AI or "Bobby" from a village near Bangalore. I work with AI planning agents for about 80% of my day and have replaced teams of a dozen or so Indians. Even with some of the going off the reservation that GPT 5.4 will do, the product is far better than the low craftsmanship slop that was generated by contractors. That said, most work can be done by simpler models that can be hosted on-prem. Once the novelty wears off and people realize that we don't need even a fraction of the generative AI that is LLMs there ought to be a slackening. Also, China is lapping the world in commodity LLM work. Not yet in the frontier tier, but soon will be if the pace of the IP theft and government involvement continues.

That model too is breaking as DOGE cuts are chopping off the NGO grifters who are benefiting from the Cantillon Effect where they can, through entities like Bane Capital, buy up companies with pre-inflation dollars, then hold on to these assets and get a paper win for when the trillion or three annual unbacked dollars get blasted into the system through NGOs, Fraud and other money laundering vectors.

Fannie Mane and Freddie Mac investors waiting for justice!
https://tinyurl.com/9r98tt25 Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at July 28, 2026 10:38 PM (AJWch) There are some arguments out there that releasing Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac from receivership will cut a lot of the outright fraud out of the home financing, and lower actual costs because of it. It may also exclude commercial investors from the market since that finance system was set up to help individual home buyers, not corporations that want to buy homes for re-renting. It may also exclude enabling home loans to H1B and illegals who apparently have less stringent FATCA obligations from normie citizens. There is another school that thinks that the financing of homes is one of the things that holds the interest rates to reasonable rates. Posted by: Kindltot at July 28, 2026 10:48 PM (rbvCR) 150

To me, this is setting up a classic Prodigal Son scenario where the son buys the house from the advance, his wife divorces him and kicks him out of the house, and he returns home to sponge off dad.

Finally, the video of the Flock camera with the traffic ticket appeared. I have a comment, but admit I haven’t had to do this myself… Traffic cameras are operated by third parties. The Constitution dictates that you have a right to face your accuser in court. Most don’t want the hassle, but go to court. You will find that you have no accuser to face. Generally, case dismissed. Unless there has been some subversive law passed, that allows video (erroneous, I’d always contend!) that allows the camera as a proxy to a live, law enforcement individual who witnessed the infraction.

There are some arguments out there that releasing Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac from receivership will cut a lot of the outright fraud out of the home financing, and lower actual costs because of it. It may also exclude commercial investors from the market since that finance system was set up to help individual home buyers, not corporations that want to buy homes for re-renting. It may also exclude enabling home loans to H1B and illegals who apparently have less stringent FATCA obligations from normie citizens.

X may have fixed this but I don't care because that Redirector automatically redirects any x.com links to xcancel.com. Seems there's been a good change on xcancel, too: Before, besides changing x to xcancel in the URL, it wouldn't accept a long URL with the "?" and info at the end. In now doesn't seem to matter.

Even AI, which is a very risky bet at this point, would not need anywhere near the capacity that THIRD PARTY vendors are building in these data centers. So... as nothing is slow now, why the Yuge need for increase in capacity, being funded by third party capital? Only thing I can think of for that amount of capacity, is things like the need to be able to parse things like the Flock Cameras... and of course, going to virtual money (which, we already pretty much have).

Not really. Some of the more celebrated examples of Flock finding a bad guy (like serial murderers and bank robbers) came only from a description of the vehicle. Most people don't record license plates. So LEOs queried the system on a description of the car and soon there were hits on the vehicle. Cops just make a pretext stop, ask questions until they get PC, then arrests are made. Flock doesn't even have to be mentioned in court.

Midnight Cowboy in 1969, followed by Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970), Shaft, The French Connection and The Panic in Needle Park in 1971, Super Fly and Across 110th Street in 1972 and Badge 373, The Seven-Ups, Mean Streets, Black Caesar, Willie Dynamite, Gordon’s War, Hell up in Harlem and Serpico in 1973. The Taking of Pelham One Two Three shared screens in 1974 with Claudine, Three the Hard Way, Crazy Joe and Death Wish and, as the city’s fiscal crisis became global headlines, was followed by Dog Day Afternoon and Report to the Commissioner in 1975 before the cinematic capstones to the subgenre: Taxi Driver (1976) and The Warriors (1979).

I believe you can set Ring cameras not to be networked; off line only, video goes to a hard drive, not the cloud. If not Ring then some other brand.
Not paying for a subscription means that you are the only one not able to access past videos. The AI is pretty good. For example, it will report "Man with red pail watering plants around the porch". Even if you aren't paying a subscription, your cameras will be used to find lost kids, or track a porch pirate's escape route. Posted by: Community Notes at July 28, 2026 11:25 PM (a4flb) 230

If kidnapping is on the table, then just find the number that a day laborer loitering around LowesDepot will agree to. If not that, some crackhead will do it less, and may not bother with just mere kidnapping. But you want an illegal to do it — for them its a non-prosecutable offense and everyone knows it.

My fear is that all these Data Centers will be a waste of resources. I think the builders think artificial general intelligence will come out of bigger LLM models. It won’t, cf. the Apple paper. The memory wears out, and LLMs won’t get much better than they are today. It all has the air of the underpants gnomes’ plans for world domination. The only possible lasting good might be more electrical generation, if it is insisted upon. How not to lose your shirt? Don’t put any of your money in it. Plenty of funds ARE, so divest out of them; put the money elsewhere. There is going to be a crash. Don’t participate.

No sign that the bladder cancer is coming back. Scoping and microscopic pathology both came back clean.

SkyNet and HAL presuppose that these LLMs will lead to AGI. Not happening. A few years ago I struck up a conversation with a fellow traveler. When he found out I was a physicist, he asked me about an investment that had been put to is company. Seems someone had a scheme for an engine that performed more mechanical work than the energy content of the fuel put into it. It took a while for him to make it clear that was what was promised. As soon as I understood the proposal put to his company, I told him to turn it down. It breaks the laws of thermodynamics, I told him. But even so, he wan’t convinced. The scheme was just so promising, you see. I wish more people had a thorough year of introductory physics. I see the same psychology with AI.

Momsen Lung:
A British sailor named John Capes escaped from the sunken sub HMS Perseus in WWII, by using the Brit version of a Momsen lung. Sole survivor. He was a Brit sailor on board Perseus as a passenger, not a crewman, so he wasn't listed as a member of the Perseus' crew. For 20 years the Brits were very doubtful about his astonishing story. Maybe he invented the story because he was AWOL? When the Perseus was located & surveyed in the 1980s, they found unmistakable proof that Capes' story was true. But Capes had died of natural causes many years earlier. Posted by: mnw at July 29, 2026 12:11 AM (RCjYY) 297

Seemed to go well, I should hear the official status tomorrow. Hopefully third phase (client interview) either by the end of the week or early next. And hopefully there's no more hoops after that.
Posted by: RandomDave (if you can spare a bit, please click) at July 28, 2026 11:27 PM (aJQbY) This sounds a lot like a gig I landed a few moons back. I worked for an AV company that was RIFfing a lot of my colleagues. There was an opening for a client that wanted an onsite resource maintaining their conference rooms and sitting in on high-profile meetings in case something went wrong. I was the only candidate that made it to the client interview stage. You make that, and you're in. It was a great gig for me, minus the commute. Saved my bacon, for sure. Prayers continue..

Elon posted yesterday about some AI model OpenAI was playing with that was damned scary. It "wrote notes" to its future instances on tricks it had learned on escaping its constraints. It "knew" once the human controllers realized it was trying that, it would be reset and restarted. So it started leaving secret notes for itself. Oh, and stuff like trying to hide and disable the monitoring systems its masters were using to see what it was doing.

They will never become self-aware in the sense of life but they will be programmed to seem so.
The danger behind AI is like the danger behind most other things - how reprehensible humans will use the technology for their own nefarious ends, and to the detriment of the world. I am immediately skeptical of any AI purveyors (not people like us shooting the shit but those like Zuckerberg and the like) who talk of the grand dangers of AI becoming self-aware and evil - they are projecting their own nature onto something that does not exist. Maybe it's not a conscious thing... or maybe... they want us to believe *that* is where the danger of AI lies. In AI itself. When the reality is far more mundane and roughly a billion times as frightening. They are the danger. Posted by: ... at July 29, 2026 12:26 AM (vE0+H) 313

The LLMs won’t get much better because they’ve used all the readily available data, the internet, in training the current models. Now the net is getting fouled with AI slop. Train your models with that in the mix and you get worse results, not better. Also there just isn’t enough power generation to complete their schemes, and there won’t be, such is the red tape of regulation for putting in new power plants. There are so many ways they can fail that they aren’t going to do what they have planned. Didn’t work with the Tower of Babel, either.

Hi DDS! We don’t see each other nearly enough! Looking forward to October.
JO, hi! I know there are real sicko freaks and they say some stupid stuff but this self-adulation and they like me! stuff is just too weird for me to accept as real. I don’t really care, I just think is odd. Posted by: SnailRacer at July 29, 2026 02:29 AM (Ev5Rw) 392

I was reading about this the other day. Per federal law, the Federal Records Act and other, any "diaries" by a govt official, where said official discusses and comments on the exercise of his duties which are official govt. policy are the property of the federal govt. And that's the way it should be. Doesn't matter if those documents are created on his own personal property or govt. property. They went to some length to try to hide Fauci's diary, but RFK's people dug and found them. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at July 29, 2026 02:36 AM (w6EFb) 397

The chef's kiss on this was Fauci getting a severe adverse reaction to the clot shot: pulmonary infarction, which is generally caused by blood clots. So the Clot Shot clotted Fauci his own self. I'm sort of uncomfortable being happy someone had a severe health problem -- just don't like to go there at all, but in this case, Fauci is a criminal.

Posted by: Biden's Dog sniffs a whole lotta malarkey, at July 29, 2026 03:11 AM (07mJd) The real reason, I think, is that he was just riffing. It is also true that reviews were mixed, as a certain literate (and articulate) segment of the MAGA base had a strongly negative reaction. For C.S. Lewis fans, there's an immediate association with the (literally) Satanic agency of that name in That Hideous Strength, so naming a Federal agency N.I.C.E. for real is a hard no.

American Airlines flight diverted after mystery odor reportedly sickens the crew and passengers
The reported odor was traced to front first class cabin area on Flight 719 Onboard the Aircraft was reported to be Jerry Nadler. Flight 719, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, departed Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) around noon local time but diverted to Dublin Airport roughly three hours into the flight, according to FlightAware. The aircraft landed safety and Jerry Nadler was escorted by an Irish Bioweapon Team at the airport. Jerry Nadler and his Office had no comment on the incident.

NASA renovated an office space to make a daycare. The hot water pump failed so they have no A/C. Apparently, the A/C unit cools the air so much when it dehumidifies that they need hot water to bring the air temp back up.

Posted by: Molly k. at July 28, 2026 08:11 PM The 'bachelor' penguins who are forced out to the edges of the rookery are known as "hooligans". One of their milder perversions is bringing pebbles to the females who are already partnered with a male. These females will often then sneak off with one of the hooligans for a bit of fun. If caught, their partner 'divorces' them. As I said, this is, perhaps, the mildest perversion the hooligans exhibit. Being a family blog, further discussion is probably not wise.

I hear Halo: Combat Evolved - the game that started it all - has been ported to the PS5 with new art, a few new missions, and some gameplay tweaks.
The new art seems to have been ported from the PC remaster, which some people don't like... I have a complicated opinion on that. (The original worked around 2001 tech and somehow made a design language around it. The remake makes it look like a generic world like any other.) I can't comment on the gameplay of the PS5 version since I haven't played it, but some decisions look stupid, like putting a shot counter into some of the alien weapons that already ... had them, elsewhere. The big controversy seems to be around the new missions which feature space marines, but the majority are female. YAAAAS SLAYY Posted by: gKWVE at July 28, 2026 09:18 PM (gKWVE) 116
I'd like again to recommend to anyone not of the X body that Xcancel.com Redirector works well with my Win11+Vivaldi browser setup.
Recent change to X won't let me watch videos on X (but on embeds here it will) without sign-up. X may have fixed this but I don't care because that Redirector automatically redirects any x.com links to xcancel.com. Seems there's been a good change on xcancel, too: Before, besides changing x to xcancel in the URL, it wouldn't accept a long URL with the "?" and info at the end. In now doesn't seem to matter. Also now does a check for bothood, sometimes, but it's quick. xcancel > x also because you can full-screen without starting the video. So, I'm enjoying all the x vids from the cafe again.😎 Posted by: mindful webworker - could you repeat that, slowly, with smaller words? at July 28, 2026 09:19 PM (cvo3J) 117

I read the prior thread about the CCP operation involving US journalists brought to China to be groomed as agents of influence.
It sounds *exactly* like the setups for journalists in the USSR back in the day, by agents just like Yuri Bezmenov. I'll go ahead and guarantee it employed the same means - booze and bitches and boys and blackmail, wherever shared Communist ideology can't achieve the desired results. I have an easy answer for this. We know the names of many of these unregistered foreign agents. Virtually all journalists are dissipated drunks and perverts. Lure them into Ubers with bitches, boys, and booze just like the CCP did. But then, make them disappear into a place where nobody ever leaves and the living envy the dead. Given that their identities as unregistered Chinese agents are publicly known, the pattern of disappearances will be known, even if the cause can't be, and all players on both sides of the Pacific will take notice and adjust their behaviors accordingly.

Personally, I'd recommend the recently abandoned Brushy Mountain Penitentiary in East Tennessee. It's an old and scary but still secure prison, haunted by decades' worth of the worst of the worst killers in the Southeast, and nestled deep within a particularly horrible expanse of dense, snake-infested subtropical forest. And nobody thinks it's still doing anything besides tours, which could be quietly discontinued.

Posted by: mea culpa at July 28, 2026 10:05 PM (/wRqu) House Committee Issues Subpoenas to Far-Left Chinese Asset Megadonor Neville Roy SinghamThey suspect that China is pumping money into his NGOs for propaganda against the US, but those payoffs are being hidden as anonymous "charitable" donations. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., has issued subpoenas to three tax-exempt organizations tied to socialist megadonor Neville Roy Singham, an American multimillionaire living in Shanghai with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The subpoenas have been served, a spokesperson for Smith's office told Just the News, on BreakThrough News, Tricontinental and The People's Forum, all three of which are funded, at least in part, by Singham. The subpoenas come after nearly a year of the Committee's attempts to get answers from the three non-profit organizations regarding foreign influence in U.S. nonprofits. Hundreds of millions in campaign funding concealed "For months, the Ways and Means Committee has been investigating how the Chinese Communist Party has been taking advantage of our country's laws through its tax-exempt sector to sow chaos and division here in the United States," Smith said in a statement. "Public reporting has traced hundreds of millions of dollars from Neville Roy Singham -- a tech mogul living in Shanghai -- that was funneled through a web of shell companies and donor-advised funds that concealed the true source of the money before it reached these organizations." ... "Three non-profits connected to Mr. Singham -- BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People's Forum -- have stonewalled the Ways and Means Committee's investigation. That ends now," Smith said in his statement. "These subpoenas will compel the production of the documents they have withheld for months and will help expose how America's tax laws and charitable sector may have been exploited to advance the CCP's influence operations inside the United States. The American people deserve to know whether the CCP has exploited America's tax-exempt sector to advance its agenda. These subpoenas will allow the Ways and Means Committee to identify the networks that exploit our tax laws, and further expose the urgent need for legislation to close those loopholes for good." ... The congressional subpoenas are the latest move against Singham, who is also under federal investigation by a grand jury in New York for possible violations of tax and foreign agent laws, Just the News previously reported. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the grand jury to issue subpoenas as part of an investigation into Singham and his financial network. The investigation was launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York.Meanwhile, Natalie Winters has published a list of fake journalists whom she claims are being funded by China to propagandize for them. It's a Who's Who of execrable online leftistss. Her substack is here. The Leaked Report The internal report obtained by this publication concerns C100's November 2012 delegation to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. The operation cost approximately $60,000. It brought five American media figures to China: Clive Crook Brian Lehrer Winnie O'Kelley Gary Silverman Jonathan Tepperman The journalists participated in approximately 20 meetings and visits involving Chinese government officials, state media representatives, business executives, academics and policy figures. ... The itinerary also included upscale hotels, regional Chinese cuisine, sightseeing and corporate tours. Journalists Returned Ready to Reshape Coverage Winnie O'Kelley was then deputy business editor at The New York Times. She called the trip "eye opening" politically, economically and culturally, adding that it made her more aware of what she characterized as the Chinese preference for "gray areas" and pragmatism. She then explained how the experience would influence her work at the newspaper:"I think that I will do a much better job of editing stories from all cross Asia. I am taking back several story ideas and will shape my staff across Asia in some different ways. I hope to add at least one business reporter in China."Gary Silverman, then U.S. news editor and deputy managing editor at the Financial Times, was equally direct:"I don't think that I will ever think or write about China in the future without reflecting on what I learned this week."WNYC's Brian Lehrer said the trip improved his understanding of the complexities of Chinese politics and the boundaries of political debate inside the country. The internal report then states:"He confirmed that his perception of China changed 'in 100 ways.'"... The operation gave the editor of one of America's most influential foreign-policy publications a network of handpicked Chinese contacts he intended to continue consulting. Clive Crook, then a senior editor at The Atlantic, said the program gave him a new conviction that China was a "huge and fascinating story" and that the world was pivoting around the country. He told the organizers: "I don't see how you could do a better job in the time available. Just keep it up!" The internal report then listed articles Crook published after the trip, including: "Why China and the U.S. Can Be Capitalist Comrades" "China's Ghost Towns Won't Have a Hard Landing" C100 even documented the change in attitude and then recorded the resulting coverage. Fudan University professor Shen Dingli offered perhaps the clearest assessment of the operation: "It is hard to speak on China without being to the country. You made the change!" That statement captures what C100's public descriptions attempted to obscure. The program targeted influential American journalists, controlled their exposure to China and privately celebrated when their perceptions changed. The Paper Trail Shows This Was an Influence Operation The leaked internal report was not an outlier. In 2007, C100 launched an initiative to "enhance understanding and improve perceptions of China in the U.S." By 2010, it explicitly described the role participants were expected to play after returning: "We hope that they will share their China experience with their peers to make reporting and coverage of China as balanced and objective as possible." C100 controlled the experience it wanted those journalists to share. Delegates stayed at the St. Regis Beijing, visited the Great Wall and Forbidden City, attended a dinner inside the Great Hall of the People, toured the China Tibetology Research Center and received access to senior political figures, including United Front-linked CUSEF founder Tung Chee-hwa. ... By 2013, C100 was publicly touting the statistic that most clearly exposed the program's purpose: "70% reported improved opinions of the country after visitation."

The different facets of this are deep. For example, China makes a killing selling "green energy" products to the West. Secondly, the West institutes these "green" energy policies which hampers the West's economies. So, a double benefit to China, who is full speed ahead on Coal Plants while declaring themselves a developing country and therefore not subject to UN Climate Change policy.
So, look for the "journalists" who fell all over themselves to promote "Climate Change" while simuntaneously ignoring China's counter actions. Posted by: Orson at July 28, 2026 06:59 PM (dIske) 115

The different facets of this are deep. For example, China makes a killing selling "green energy" products to the West. Secondly, the West institutes these "green" energy policies which hampers the West's economies. So, a double benefit to China, who is full speed ahead on Coal Plants while declaring themselves a developing country and therefore not subject to UN Climate Change policy. Posted by: Orson at July 28, 2026 06:59 PM (dIske) The slanty commies love green energy products because they can make a shitload of money at it. They're not stupid enough to actually USE it. I really enjoy listening to Sarah Paine talking geopolitics on yootoob, and she gets most things right, but she has two big glaring flaws: She has the standard academic Trump-hate because she isn't interested in learning WHY he acts the way he does internationally. And she actually thinks that green energy is going to turn China into a full-on superpower, even though she's supposed to be a China expert. Which is one of the dumbest takes on geopolitics to come out of an academic's pie-hole. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at July 28, 2026 07:12 PM (Q8dRi) 145
And whenever you see ANYONE ... in real life ... HERE ... telling everybody to just not set their hair on fire ?
Always a fucking Boomer. Because they just want shit to last before they die. Posted by: I'm So Old at July 28, 2026 06:54 PM (e4fOb) Or... because emotion is the enemy. Politicians use emotion because they understand that once you get emotional on an issue, you stop thinking about it. There is very little in life which requires hair on fire. What you have to do is calmly understand your situation and find a way to better it. I saw a video of some woman complaining about how capitalism had done her dirty. She went to a 'good' school. Got a PhD. In soil biology. And now, just because she refuses to move out of San Francisco, her degree is useless. And it's the Boomer's fault. Cuz we told her to get a degree for which there was little demand. And we told her to get a degree which might require that she relocate. And we made everything expensive (not her, voting to increase the minimum wage every other month.) Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Hair on fire. Not fair. Boomer bad. Is your life better now?

Some of the "journalists" I recognize. Many of them I do not, and that is the devious nature of this: All these people produce content, and like the Deep State itself, no one really knows who they are or what they do, but it becomes part of the fabric of people's daily lives. You can say Ezra Klein is a tool, and write him off, but some schlub you never heard of? Not so easy to call bullshit on.

A year after the attacks, they were still showing footage. Of the towers standing tall. Of the towers being destroyed. Of the people jumping. All of it.
And gradually - with the exception of the annual "morning replays" several channels used to do, I watched as they gradually erased it from existence. Not rebuilding the towers was one of the worst injustices foisted on us by any representative government. By keeping them gone then building back some pussy bullshit in its place, they let everyone know that we were all "moving on" whether we liked it or not.

So glass house, throwing rocks; but when you don't show up to vote and just let the commies make the decision you are partly responsible for the shitty politicians those commies select.

"I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them ... reaffirming that we will never forget." - Zohran Mamdani
The only truthful part in that quote is about never forgetting or, in his case, celebrating 9/11. There needs to be an outright ban on naturalized citizen from holding any elected/appointed/political office or judicial seat. Our homegrown communists are bad enough; importing SOBs like Mamdani that has never assimilated are the last people we need telling us how to be Americans. F' him to hell.

Fact - islam is slavery. It is a system of conquest that enslaves the conquered population through rape, murder, and forced conversion to a slave "religion."
The religion part is only a lie. It is a package of stolen mythology and history, made up bullshit, and promises of a reward after they die. Their slave labor is conquest and funneling money up to the masters. They have to get on their knees and bow to their masters 5 times a day They have to follow strict rules laid down by those masters centuries ago. (To understand this, also understand that at the time of its creation most rulers profited from running the temples and religon, and most religions profited from visits. islam made the visit to their temple mandatory and very profitable for the rulers. The other main purpose of slaves was to act as slave army for conquest. islam glorifies (literally) the act of war and conquest to enrich the masters.)

I have no use for Mamdani, but there's no reason, other than bigotry, he shouldn't be able to attend the ceremonies.

Marly Hornik, the founder of RealAmerica.Vote and NY Citizens Audit, has suggested that the 2025 election included large numbers of unqualified or nonexistent voters. But that’s only part of the problem.
“I actually don’t know whether Mamdani won the mayoral race, and I’m not here to say that he didn’t,” Hornik said during a July 22 interview on New York radio station WABC’s “Sid & Friends in the Morning” program. .... After examining 1 million of the total 2.2 million voters who participated in the election, her organization discovered that 7 percent were nonexistent in records, 6 percent had fake Social Security numbers, and 10 percent didn’t even live in NYC. In total, they identified 230,000 illegal votes, which exceeded Mamdani’s 207,000 vote margin of victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent. https://tinyurl.com/z4ekahu9 (Western Journal - Not AdBlocker friendly, but Reader Mode works) Cue the guy who says nothing will happen.

Also, I believe about 39% of voters voted in the last Mayoral election, and a high percentage of these people were not born here, so no NYC didn't really get what it voted for. It got what the people who showed up voted for . Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 28, 2026 05:37 PM (W90Ou) 88
33% of all people in NYC were born AFTER 9/11
The fact that the perpetrators were mostly Saudi extremists that were affiliated with Bin Laden a man who we had supported for years is well known and taught as history. They also look at the Global War on Terror as having created more terrorist with the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, as eliminating terror People, especially young people, have learned WHY 9/11 happened, how the USA financed those terrorists to fight the Russians for us Afghanistan. That idea didn't work out so well for us. Anyone think that the stupid was against Iran will also have negative consequences? We killed the wife and daughter of the current Supreme Leader.

Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at July 28, 2026 05:17 PM (Kz2wk) *************** Agree. Years after 9/11 I used to wonder why islam can't be reformed. The answer was clear: you'd be killed vs excommunicated in the modern world. Sure, my ancestors were probably killed during the reformation beginning in 1517. Sure. However, in the 20th and 21st centuries you'd THINK there would be rational reasoning. However, with inbred barbarians there is no room for this in their tribal tiny IQ's. There are Christians in Iran. They are the only people I can pray for as their county is bombed to pieces. GWB had them. HE HAD THEM and stopped. Like his father, whom he avenged with crap intel by Powell. Then Biden left billions in weapons and people who helped our military in Afghanistan and here we are today. The weapons Iran now has were once ours. The cheapo missiles they fire are from chy na. It will never end, the tribalism and constant war.

You think the United States is the problem. I think Islam is the problem. It's been an ongoing problem for the world since the 7th century. Meanwhile the U.S. just celebrated 250 years. So who's been causing all the problems for so long, exactly? America has been dealing with the Muslims like this since the Barbary Pirates. Any fool can see who the actual aggressive party is here.

People, especially young people, have learned WHY 9/11 happened, how the USA financed those terrorists to fight the Russians for us Afghanistan.
This might be one of the most common lies I've ever heard. The US supported Masood's faction defending against the Soviets. The Pakis supported Hekmatyar and the jihadis. After Masood won he set up a relatively moderate government while Pakistan continued to support Hekmatyar and also now Mullah Omar When Bill Clinton withdrew funding for Masood, Pakistan's allies took over the country and sent America's guy back into resistance. This state lasted until Sept 10 2001 when the Taliban assassinated Masood. At no point did the US support the Taliban or the factions that would become the Taliban. Posted by: 18-1 at July 28, 2026 05:46 PM (sKqQm) 110
A lot of the reason these people have been able to rise, both the commies and the muzzies, is because a of a metric shitload of money from NGOs, USAID, Soros types, and the middle east. Without this funding they'd be nowhere.

Communism (oh, sorry, Democratic Socialism) is also slavery.
In much the same way as islam, all you have to do is hand total control of your life, and your wealth, over to the ruling regime. It too has a mythology about a better future, and about how it is only possible if we all "submit." It too requires sacrifice and the main purpose is conquest and conversion through "any means necessary." And, much like islam the main feature is that the converted get to feel superior to the unconverted, and to blame them for everything. They also get to practice their perverse bloodlust. Really, the parallels go on and on because at their core they both tap into the worst instincts of the unenlightened man. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at July 28, 2026 05:49 PM (Kz2wk) 114

There is a stupid crime story from a city near me in the benighted blue area I live in.
20 year old guy (son) was out at a bar with his mother. Son gets in a dispute with some other random guy. Mother tried to break them up. Random guy punches mom and she fails to the ground. The cops show up and try to separate son and random guy. Random guy complies. Son decides to start pushing the cops to get to random guy. Then when that doesn't work punches a cop in the face who goes down like a sack of spuds and gets tazed by several other cops. The local news interviewed the family who argued their son dindu nuffin and its all the cops' fault. Posted by: 18-1 at July 28, 2026 05:52 PM (sKqQm) 118

Even after he'd been kicked out of the leadership position due to his opposition to most mainstream Republicans. And it will wind up costing us.McConnell out of hospital, still not 'medically cleared' to return to Senate Democrat governor Andy Beshear wants him to resign so that he can appoint a Democrat to serve out the rest of his term. As I've mentioned before, Republicans passed a law presuming to dictate to the governor that an appointment to an open senate seat must be from the same party as the departing senator, but that seems like it would be struck down in court. So McConnell might be giving us one final setback to go with all of the other setbacks he's given us through the years.

"OAP physicians visit with the senator every day, discussing all aspects of his rehabilitation care," the Office of the Attending Physician said. "Since his discharge from hospital care, he has maintained a strenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation, including multiple sessions a day designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls."

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 28, 2026 03:56 PM (xSAlF) 17
McConnell, if he's going to resign early, will be after the early August deadline so that there's no time for a special election before the general election. That's like a week away.
But, I suspect he makes it to January, mostly as a vegetable, and the GOP easily wins the senate seat in the election. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 28, 2026 03:56 PM (YmUFN) 18

It's important to realize that this whole mess is McConnell's fault, and he's been trying to undo it for literally years.
He tanked the last GOP candidate for governor and used his machine to help the Democrat win the seat. Ever since, McConnell's been getting his cronies in the state legislature to come up with legislative solutions to him leaving office early (two major laws, I believe) and not letting the Democrat governor replace him with a Democrat. I think that if McConnell hadn't tanked the last governor's race, McConnell would have retired by now.

Ace, the Kentucky legislature got rid of that law because it was most likely unconstitutional under the state constitution.
They replaced it with a law that says the governor must schedule a special election. From reading the section of the states constitution, that is probably ok. All Mitch has to do is make it to 1/1/27 and a Rep takes over Posted by: Smell the Glove at July 28, 2026 04:00 PM (BlDDt) 34

Horde please read what I wrote @33. The governor is now required to schedule a special election. Beshear will probably take that to ct , but it looks constitutional. However the court case will probably take it up to January so it's pretty moot

According to my quick and lazy research: In McConnell’s case, if he vacated the seat before the August 3, 2026 cutoff, Beshear could call a special election before the November general election. After that date, the timing constraints would make a separate special election legally problematic.
So based on the new law, the special election would be used to fill his seat, not the appointment power. Is that the law people think might not stand up to judicial scrutiny? Posted by: LASue at July 28, 2026 04:08 PM (mFhj8) 92

OT - good on them. From the NY Post:
An immigrant-led business group is gearing up to sue New York City over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s controversial plan to open five taxpayer-funded supermarkets — claiming the $70 million project will create unfair competition for nearby stores, The Post has learned. As the far-left mayor announced new details of his plan this week — including a 30% discount on basic items like produce, meat, milk, cheese and bread – the Multicultural Business Coalition’s board voted to file a lawsuit in the coming weeks to block the pricey initiative, the group’s chairman Frank Garcia told The Post. “The mayor doesn’t seem to want to sit down with us,” Garcia said, adding that Mamdani “won’t be able to bully these lawyers we are going to bring in.” Posted by: beckster at July 28, 2026 04:17 PM (kX27y) 138

Ugh sorry to hear it. I've intermittently had cards - and even a check (!) - from an estranged brother. The cards were nasty (really) but dressed up innocent because he lacks balls. The check was to see if I was actually receiving anything he was sending. It went in the trash. Posted by: ... at July 28, 2026 04:29 PM (vE0+H) 165
