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

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

My installation of the Brave browser shows no eMudhra certificates installed in either the root store or the ones I've imported.
Whether they've been yanked or were just never there in the first place, I don't know.
4? Motherfucking 4?
Wow, I wonder how long it took to brute-force that one.

wtf is Sony thinking with this.
You can pay much less, get a phone, text, and apps included, and pay over $1000 less for the same basic experience.
Good God, $1900.
My Sony Walkman's were espensive at the time, for sure.
I had a cassette version that was waterproof and was around $200 if I remember right.
The Sony CD Walkman I got next was cheaper.

I have no idea what an SSL certificate is, which is a surprise to nobody here who knows what a non techy person I am ( and you all know that ) but your description of the Indian guy made me laugh. Are there stand up comedy routines for programmers and systems analysts, etc. if so, you should bring your show on that road, Pixy. Actually, I will show it to my husband . He used to be a technical person and he will laugh.
And thanks for the song from "America" I remember hearing them and I like it.

“Not a number that starts with 4, or the number 4 followed by a few hundred random digits, just, 4... Another one is 56, and another is 115. I know, because I recovered all of them from their public certificates on my laptop just now, and it took less than a second,” Helme wrote.
Other researchers have found private keys including the numbers 66, 155, 156, 230 and 237.
Those are vastly inadequate keys, because they’re easy to guess, making all certs issued by eMudhra susceptible to brute force attacks.
As Helme put it: “A P-384 private key should be a random 384-bit number, which gives you 2³⁸⁴ possibilities (or roughly 10¹¹⁵
, so nobody is ever going to search that.”
lol
These Indians wanted easy to remember numbers for SSL certificates.

Probably they did it on purpose, as a favor for some hackers or secret service.
At the same time, they have semi-plausible denial, so it will be hard to punish them (not sure anyone will try).

> I have no idea what an SSL certificate is
On a really basic level:
Ever play around with newspaper cryptograms (like the letter 'a' becomes 'q', and the letter 'b' becomes 'k') and so on?
Same idea, except way harder to break than the newspaper ones (well, unless you use '4' as the key).
This keeps your neighbor on the same network from reading the data that flows between you and Amazon (or whatever).
Internet encryption is a special type called "public key" encryption. This uses some special mathematical magic that allows you make to the encryption key public without disclosing the decryption key. Newspaper cryptograms don't have that feature ... if you know that 'a' becomes 'q' when encrypted, you immediately know that 'q' will become 'a' when decrypted.
This has a big advantage. The remote site (say, Amazon) can encrypt special "I am Amazon" messages using the secret key, which anyone on the internet can then decrypt using the public key to verify that this is, in fact, the real Amazon.
Obviously this only works if the secret key remains secret.

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

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

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

Pioneer is aptly calling this equipment its Heritage Collection.

The collection reimagines the styling that marked those eras for modern-day drivers, including conveniences like Bluetooth, HD Radio, and SiriusXM readiness, while delivering the rich, detailed sound that has established Pioneer as a favorite among car audio enthusiasts.”Photos at the link

I think it's great. I love weddings, even if I don't know the people very well (e.g. children of former workmates), and would be happy to attend more. As long as the price is reasonable, I'd be happy to drink wine, eat cake and cheer at ever lull in the conversation.
They sure as shit beat funerals, which are becoming one of my primary social outlets at this stage of my life.

I don't even want to go to weddings I am in or invited to. Buy tickets to one? GTFO.

So they built a website where you can buy tickets to strangers’ weddings.
What do you think - good idea or nah?
An idea of Biblical proportions!
The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
[...]
Then he said to his servants, "The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find."
The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.
Matthew 22:2,8-10

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

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

The "pay to be a wedding guest" could get out of hand. Or you could make a funny comedy movie based on the premise. Eddy and Elaine decide to go to a stranger's wedding for shits and giggles, and it turns out the bride and groom are their respective exes. Hilarity ensues.

Brewers promised a ticket to any future game for $1,000. Some fans unhappy with World Series seats
____________________________
Short of "Hot College Girl Topless Night", I don't think you can justify a $1,000 seat at a Brewers game. But, if I really wanted to stick it to them for putting me up in the cheap seats after giving them $1,000 a decade ago so they could invest that money and make more....I'd keep my eyes open for who attends the game.
If there is one celebrity there....one single celebrity sitting in the VIP section...I'm off to an attorney the following morning for a refund with 10 year's worth of interest on a grand.

The wedding thing would not be a thing for me. 1. Food at a wedding is a big gamble. It’s not even close to a given it will be good. 2. Same with the cake 3. I say all this and I have 2 separate hysterical stories about weddings (one where I was in the MX embassy and not the wedding venue, another where I accidentally crashed a mafia wedding in Italy), so maybe it could be fun?

The wedding idea is fine. The Irish have had old lady professional mourners attend funerals to drive up the numbers and my ancestors in Norway had old widows and old maids that checked obits and attended funerals and the lunch afterward. The food is paid for, there's always too much, and the ladies got a free meal and got out to a social event. Wedding's the same and usually a happier occasion.

You need to file an appeal. Or just hang it on the stove and call it a day. Which is what I would do.

The Romans used to hire professional mourners for funerals, skilled at weeping, screaming, prostrating themselves, etc.
One performer's duty was to put on a death mask made from the deceased and do an impression of him.

At the TXMoMe, I talked to more than one lurker who told me, when I encouraged them to comment more, said they had nothing interesting to say.
Nothing can be more wrong than this. Not everyone can be as erudite, witty and eloquent as, say, me, but each of us has knowledge, enthusiasms, interests and experiences that could teach us something. It is what, collectively, makes this such a wonderful place.
So please comment more. Don't be concerned you'll be laughed to scorn; it's a sign you've been accepted. The Horde is a great group of people who are among the nicest in the world.

When Henny Youngman was doing a show on the road, he would talk to the manager or go down to the banquet facility if there was a wedding scheduled and talk to the bride's parents at rehearsal or whatever. He offered to do ten minutes for $200 cash. Got a lot of takers. You can always say that Henny Youngman entertained at your daughter's wedding, and he got $200 the government knew nothing about. He might have gotten a drink and a piece of cake, too.

The "old school" Pioneer head units are nice, but I want my old Pioneer SuperTuner back. It fastened under the dash, was brushed aluminum instead of all black, and featured a rotary backlit dial, all analog, that reminded me of Sulu's helm on Trek, albeit much smaller. Yeah, I know, it would catch the eye of a thief and get ripped off quickly. But that was one cool-looking unit.

I saw this idea on the innernets, so I can't claim it:
For your funeral, set aside some money to hire an actress and a limo. A beautiful woman, all dressed in black, gets out of the limo and stands, motionless, some distance away from the graveside. Everyone sees her- but she speaks to no one.
As the casket is lowered into the grave, she returns to the limo and is gone.

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

Once upon a time, my guy and I were attending a company product show in Chicago. Just for shits and grins, we came upon a wedding celebration. We were already dressed in 'professional attire', so we wandered into the celebration, picked up a couple of cocktails, and told anyone who asked that we were with the bride and/or groom's family. A good time was had.

Just finished a 1962 B & W British mystery/police procedural called Jigsaw. It was based on an American novel by Hilary (not Evelyn) Waugh, who wrote a lot of police procedurals around the same time as Ed McBain was getting started. This one was transplanted to Brighton in the UK. Very sharply done, not a wasted scene or bit of dialog, some dry humor, and it features that rare bird in mystery films: a *well-concealed* murderer whom a smart viewer can spot before the revelation scene.

"And does she really spend all of her time going to wakes?"

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

Not much point of having a good tuner in a car stereo anymore; there's a dearth of music suitable for us 29 year-olds. Maybe you have an NPR station with some classical on, at some odd hour, but the "classic rock" outlets are all playing 80's and 90's shite now.
I have been buying those cheap-ass "Dual" (orphan brand from Chy-nah) head units from WalMart at about 29 dollars a pop. They have a decent tuner, 4 channels claiming 25 watts per channel, and can sync up with your phone via Bluetooth. Also have a USB port, so you can bung in a thumb drive loaded with music of your own choice. I have had two of them die mysteriously, but at 29 dollars, it's not worth the effort to either buy or try to collect on the warranty. Throw it away, and plug in another. Similar, if not identical, devices can be found under several "brand" names on the 'Zon, too.

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

It's a sobering moment when you realize that more of your peers are dying from natural causes than car accidents, workplace mishaps, and so on.
The first girl who was kind enough to show me her naughty bits died a while back. I felt older than usual that day.
(well, the first naughty bits that counted... I leave out playing doctor as a preschooler, seeing my sisters during diaper changes, etc... which if those things count for you, I don't think I really want to know you).

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

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

Family lore had it that my one great-grandfather had a second family in Colorado, where he went to seek work during the Depression, spending several years there.
Sure enough, when I did my DNA a few years back, there are DNA relatives I've never heard of in Colorado.
I've never quite mustered the courage to contact them.
I fully expect to find a bunch of relatives in the Philippines as soon as the DNA service covers that area. That grandfather burned through six wives in CONUS. I can only imagine his behavior in the WWII PI.

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

Classic bad political ad today by a "non-partisan"education group. The speaker noted that Nebraska ranked 11th in student achievement but "only" 47th in per pupil spending. I'm thinking, "Maybe spending isn't related to results!" But the speaker took from this "Think how much better we could be if we spent a little more."

He famously got hair transplants around that time, and he was certainly rich enough to have his own jet airplane.

I do. Worth every second of it.
August 9, 1995. Driving along the beach on Nantucket in a rented Jeep toward Great Point with my ex, my BFF and his wife. Comes over WMVY, which some of you New England morons might remember, that Jerry Garcia had died.
He and I are still huge fans and it was a terrible moment. Then MYV announced they were going to play Jerry and Dead tunes for the next 48 hours in tribute. We had a full cooler of beer and it was a beautiful day so found a spot and listened to great music and celebrated his life.
Never forget that day.

I have a sizeable collection of cassettes and cd's that I can't play in my 21st century car stereo.
Yes. I have a Pioneer in my car. I installed it myself. It has a CD/DVD player, an SDHC card player, a USB port, and an AUX plug. I have at one time or other used each of them. It is a great device. Last I looked, they don’t make anything like it anymore.
I suspect what Pioneer is trying vainly to overcome is (a) the lack of people who care about physical media, and (b) the lack of standardized spaces on cars to install aftermarket stereos.

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

Story is the judge won't give bale because the Arabs will pay it.

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

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

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

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

Maybe stop believing the polls and go vote.
Did that today. Felt good. I know some folks don't like the early voting thing, but without another 100 or so polling places, election day lines would be hours long and people would say "I don't have time for this."
While the unemployed parasites would say "I'm being paid to wreck the country. I can do this all day...at multiple sites, too."

My Dad's mother's older sister once said of Mexicans, "The all have a little n****r in them." In the case of my siblings and I, she was right, racist, but right.

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

ExoDickdecus did get some of the facts but naturally they incorrect. Musk consulted with Trump and War Dept. before throttling down satellite service to Ukraine.

This week's guilty Netflix pleasure is "From", a surprisingly addictive horror series. The plot: "Lost" with zombies, and the zombies can only come out at night.
The cast is Netflix-diverse, naturally, but the writing rises above it. As of the start of the second season, no Mary Sue girl boss has appeared to toss around a 200 lb stuntman.
I'm enjoying it so far.

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

Hi Blondie, JQ et al.
I don't travel much but if I fly anywhere I always get pulled aside in security and have to get patted down. When I was coming home on Sunday the female TSA agent said that something in my torso keeps triggering a warning. I am wondering if it is the hernia mesh from back in 2022, I don't know what that stuff is made of.

What a hassle, Debby!
Mom always got that too-- she'd broken her leg in the 1940s and had enough metal in it to set off the detectors every time.

One of the positives I learned while on the colostomy bag was that TSA will ABSOLUTELY not touch you on the bag.
I asked if they wanted to see it (I used a belt and pouch that contained the bag), but the TSA agents all said "NO!"...LOL

What the hell good is a door that looks like a cassette slot? Oh look, there are USB ports behind there. Can I plug a separate CD player in one and a cassette deck in another? No? Then what the boffing hell are these USB ports going to do for me that the other half dozen unused USB ports in my car aren't?

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

I crashed a wedding reception once. By accident. A friend and I tried to visit this historic lumber mill the town had grown up around. It must have been a Saturday or Sunday. We walked around a bit; no one was around; it seemed to be closed, but there was this open door. We went in, and people were cleaning up from a reception. They gave us some leftover wedding cake.
The part I don't understand is: whose wedding reception is already over at 3 in the afternoon?

We had a wedding banquet. A small Chinese banquet, only around 200 guests...
I've been to larger ones with over 1000 guests...
Mom wasn't the center of attention, was upset she wasn't at the same table as us (She wanted Vegetarian, so we set up a table close to us that was Vegetarian), so got upset and walked out. I had to calm her down and also help my wife who was freaking out because my Dad wasn't the type to travel so wasn't there, and my mother just walked out...
I think she was also upset there was booze at each table...well, just because YOU don't drink booze doesn't mean others can't as well...besides, my FIL paid for it...

Jim-- Cat was always outdoors. He's a "barn cat" that some neighbors brought with them when they moved off their large farm. Cat adopted me and my yard when they got a (large, loud) dog. We've agreed that he is now "my" cat, though I'm sure he still visits them frequently.
I can't change his ways, much as I'd like to. At least he comes in at night when weather is bad, for the last few years anyway.

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

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

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

Made friends with the neighborhood tomcat decades ago. Very smart, talkative, and gregarious fellow. He'd come visit every week or so. Eventually moved in. Died of cancer from the chems under the cars he loved hanging out under. I euth'd him in the backyard. Sad but necessary.

Afterwards we ate at a nice Italian place. I'm trying to remember what she had, but my dish was the Pasta Puttanesca, I believe...that was almost 29 years ago. Happy days.

Three couples marry and stay at the same hotel for their honeymoons, where they are taken care of by Dave the bellboy.
The first man married a nurse. Dave thinks to himself, "Nurses are known to be hot to trot."
The second man married a telephone operator. Dave thinks to himself, "Telephone operators have sexy voices."
The third man married a school teacher. Dave thinks to himself, "Poor guy, teachers are frigid."
The next morning, Dave reports to work and gets a room service call from the nurse's husband. He sourly says, "Don't ever marry a nurse. All I heard last night was 'You're not sanitary! You're not sanitary!'"
Then, the telephone operator's husband calls and sourly says, "Don't ever marry a telephone operator. All I heard last night was 'Your three minutes are up, Your three minutes are up.'"
Later that afternoon, the teacher's husband calls and happily says, "When you marry, be sure to marry a school teacher. All I heard last night was 'We are going to do this over and over until we get right.'"

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

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

I've gone over the options with him many times, and I have no aversion to trade school (I actually encouraged it). He's just...well, unmotivated. Doesn't hardly even do chores. Politically more aligned with me than the older one.

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

But worst of all, he flings litter around like... The only thing I can compare it to is those ice chippers that spew snow that they set up in California in the Christmas season so the kids can play in it. Just flumes of litter all over the area.

School today don't prepare most kids like they should, especially boys.
For the braniacs and jocks it works out for them, they are likely going to college and possibly on a scholarship, their life path is set into their 20s.
For the normies who have no clue what they like to do or what they're good at, and get no clues at schools, they get lost in the system.
I always liked those tests they used to give students which determined the kind of things they were good at, and what kind of career they'd be suited for, but then there was never really any follow-up to that once you got the results.
They should have ways to steer students, boys and girls, into career track classes that actually suit them and their talents.

They should have ways to steer students, boys and girls, into career track classes that actually suit them and their talents.

One of my old cats was that way. I got a SUV liner to put under the litter box. Easy to vac or even take out to the yard & hose it off.

We've been trained for instant gratification the past several decades and a lot of people just never realize that life is nowhere near instant and is rarely gratifying.
It' a slog from start to finish.
So just hold on to the happy moments and keep going until you get to more of them.

It's called "Meshy Mat" and they suggest in the ad that you can put it under a litter box to keep messes down and make cleanup easier.

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

We did kick out the older one when he was 18 because he just didn't want to abide by the house rules. He was much better less than a year later, and now spends part time here, part time with his not-a-girlfriend.

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

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

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

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

A good article at Insty on GLP-1s and what happens when you stop them.
I am not as rapidly anti as Piper perhaps, but I think that GLP-1s should not be the whole of the plan. The article mentions doing increases in protein and exercise as you taper off the drugs. Are you not able to exercise while doing GLP-1s?

A H Lloyd,
I was a bad mom and snuggled my boys through chemo. I did clean the toilet and shower after every use, but I would have died without their human touch. They were so brave and sweet. Marine was in 8th grade, #1 a senior in high school.
Hold her hand. She’s not poisonous.

I guess it is time for the obligatory Spanish Civil War lesson. Leftist governments have a long history of "losing control" of the situation when other leftists riot. They fulminate, express dismay, may even send in the police but then order them to just sit there and get pilloried.
See also Portland and the Antifa follies.
Every European country has a formidable internal security force. Not only that, but it is federal, not some sort of provincial outfit. These guys are true paramilitaries, a step up from the National Guard.

So I need your help to fight back. Please rush a $1 contribution today to me and Katie Hobbs so we can hit our $250,000 weekly fundraising goal."
At the risk of going mathic, you're going to need 500,000 donors at $0.50 a pop.

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

This means that anyone coming into contact with these fluids could potentially be exposed to the drugs. The duration for which these drugs remain in the body varies depending on the type of chemotherapy and the individual’s metabolism.

The WEF thinks Islam will be a great way to suppress and control.
They want to use them to finally implement The Great Reset.

Their folly is a lot like ours... concentrated among the so-call "elites". And while the normal folks still mostly act and think like well, peasants, they are also starting to look pissed off. Wouldn't cost a lot (compared to other options) to say, airdrop cheap pistols.

Read the link. I would say the greatest risk is not the caregiver being poisoned by secondary exposure to the chemo agents, but in passing bacteria or virii to the patient whose immune system may be compromised. Use common sense.

The problem I have with helping the Euros turn back the Islamic tide is that who, exactly, are we helping?
Generally they're all men without chests that got themselves into this mess precisely because the US has been their sword and shield since WWII.
So we run the Muzzy hordes out of Europe and leave what behind? The same continent of softcock cuckolds incapable of or unwilling to defend their homelands.

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

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

It's probably nothing, but a significant portion of adults entering the Church are Army officers. Make of that what you will.

You don't think Trump actually plans any of this though? He's a big idiot who doesn't think when he speaks or does anything. Obviously he is just getting lucky for the 80 billionth time in a row.

Quick Hits
Selfish leftwing race-obsessed, Trump-obsessed woman does the greatest possible favor for kind conservative man: She breaks up with him.
And then cries about it. He was such a good and kind man, she says, but darnit, he voted for Trump three times (and lied that he didn't vote for Trump last time) and he should do whatever she wants because she's a victim of "CSA," which I assume means child s** assault but don't hold me to that. I'm not one of the Alphabet People or People Who Have Turned Their Trauma Into Their Entire Personality so I don't know all the shorthand for all the traumas and mental illnesses these people collect like vintage baseball cards.
They Fled Trump's America. Now They Regret ItAlso, never go during Arson Season, which now extends every year from July 20th to June 30th. Also, don't go during Christmas Vehicular Mass Casualty Event season. The cars just come alive and drive themselves!
The internet told them Europe was a social paradise. Turns out the trains are awful, the health care isn't free, and people can be really mean.
While researching their new destination on Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram, Annie found Americans eager to explain how enchanting life in the British suburbs could be--all the benefits of a small town, just a short train ride away from one of the biggest cities in the world. The more she read, the sunnier her expectations about the UK's health care system, social culture, and European transportation systems became. They moved before the end of the year. But the reality of life in the UK was dramatically different to what she'd imagined. "There are huge misconceptions about access to quality health care, standard of living ... the quality of life is significantly lower than in the US," she says, citing the challenges she experienced with the National Health Service's maternity care--having moved while pregnant with her first child--as well as the lack of disposable income in Britain, thanks to lower salaries. "Things in the UK that are considered luxury items are very common" in America, like a dishwasher and dryer, she adds.Also, it turns out that the prelapsarian paradise of Europe is filled with chauvanists and bigots. Who knew.
Annie says she experienced a high amount of anti-American sentiment straight away. "I found it particularly surprising how people feel so comfortable mocking my accent and culture, even in a workplace environment," she says. "The UK is very much a place of 'it is what it is,' but as Americans we are taught to always improve and strive for better things." Annie and her husband now have an exit plan for summer next year, the earliest their employers would allow them to relocate back home.Annie is a psuedonym. She wants to remain anonymous because she fears DRUMPF'S FASCIST DEATH SQUADS. Just kidding -- she wants to remain anonymous because she knows her fellow left-wingers will attack her and cancel her for telling them that Europe isn't better than America.
Like several other Americans WIRED spoke to about their decision to leave and subsequent regret, Annie wanted to remain anonymous because she is concerned about the professional risks of publicly criticizing life abroad. Others cited recent online backlash when other Americans said they missed home, or, in one case, a realization that the political climate of Trump's America was not something they could escape by heading to Europe."Josh" also wants to remain anonymous to avoid cancellation by his fellow "anti-fascist" activists. He fears they would attack him if they read him writing that Germany is, get this, xenophobic and bigoted against foreigners. Again, who knew?
This was a similar reality for Josh, another American immigrant who asked to remain completely anonymous, citing concerns about backlash. He moved to Berlin in 2023, in part anticipating what might happen at the 2024 election, and also because he felt his life had hit standstill post-Covid. He had even lived in Germany before, spoke German, and had friends in Berlin. But his expectations, particularly when it came to his career, didn't align with reality.Huh! Wow, it turns out that insularity and distrust of outsiders isn't uniquely American after all. By the way, progressives, why are you moving to Euorpe? If you're against White Supremacy, shouldn't you move to more "indigenous" lands? Annie was surprised that British people and British trains aren't like what she sees in Agatha Christie movies. Also, health care is expensive.
Advertisement "Finding work was so hard, and the endless bureaucracy had grown worse since I'd left," he tells WIRED. "I missed the friendlier people, freedom of speech, and ease of daily life" in the US. He adds, "If you aren't born and raised there, and don't look German, you'll never be fully accepted."
"I thought that 'British politeness' existed as it does in movies," Annie says, "but unfortunately, the reality is that present-day British culture is very individualistic, as well as without the sense of charity and helpfulness that many parts of American culture value." She says she had negative experiences with the NHS maternal care, compared to the smooth experience of her private health insurance in the US, and didn't expect it to cost her anything: "I pay huge amounts of taxes and an immigration surcharge to access the NHS services--so no, the health care is not free here." She also expected train travel to be low cost, based on what she'd read about Europe (despite the extortionate train prices and terrible service quality being one of the biggest political conversations in the UK).Who knew! Also, turns out that she's the cliched American -- she apparently did no research whatsoever into the foreign country she was emigrating too and relied entirely on hearsay from television for her knowledge of the UK. Emigrants and de-emigrants -- those who moved back -- are attacked by the Nice Kind Open-Minded Reality-Based Community. They have their Simpleton's View of the World firmly in their pointy-but-empty-heads and they get ragefull if someone who knows things based on actual experience contradicts their fantasies.
A noticeable number of American influencers and anonymous social media users are calling it quits, often sheepishly confessing that life wasn't what they expected--and that they missed their old lives back in the US. On subreddits dedicated to these kinds of discussions, like r/expats, r/GoingToSpain, r/AmericanExpatsUK, r/AmerExit, you can now find a number of stories about difficulties building a new community, trouble finding work, icier cultural norms compared to the open friendliness of America, and sometimes a higher-than-expected European cost of living. Many posts now feature people asking for a new kind of advice: Is it okay for me to miss, or even to want to move, back home? These posts are usually met with a huge amount of backlash. Commenters are quick to imply that the poster must be right-wing and privileged, in for a nasty shock if they did return home. Ironically, many times, they parrot the right-wing notion that they probably aren't trying hard enough to assimilate into their new country. When one person recently said they badly missed their community of friends in a "blue city in a blue state" and were considering moving back, the majority of top comments agreed the user was "insane."
When Annie posted earlier this summer on Reddit her excitement about going back to the US in 2027, the comments were largely critical, and ones offering functional relocation advice were heavily downvoted. A moderator intervened, saying many people in the forum "believe the USA is evil" and conversely "the UK is paradise," continuing that there was often little room for nuance or empathy for differing experiences. In another from earlier this year, where a user said they were struggling to adjust to life in Spain with a toddler, commenters warned that she may cause psychological damage to her child if she relocated back to the US.Everyone is afraid to challenge the progressive know-nothing orthodoxy-enforcers:
"What is happening in the US is also happening everywhere now, to the point I'm even a little hesitant in what I say to you, or anywhere online," says Nick, an art director from New York who relocated to Poland in part because of right-wing populism in the US.Yup. It's so obvious that the real threat of authoritarian thought-control is coming from the right. On the other hand: There are so many more opportunities for Cultural Enrichment in Europe, especially for attractive young women traveling alone. A late friend of mine used to sort-of quote Nietzche. Or "quote" him -- I have never been able to track down this quote, so it's a loose paraphrase at best. But the "quote" he would repeat is, approximately: "Perhaps, if everywhere you go you find people who disappoint and despise you, maybe the real problem has always been just you." I don't know the real quote but if you do, I'd like to know it.
NEW: Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-SOMALIA) did not flee the US. It turns out she was in Seattle
She was brought in for the annual banquet of the Washington chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), listed by the Obama Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terror financing trial in US history, whose leaders were convicted for funneling money to Hamas, a US designated terror organization— Ari Hoffman (@thehoffather) October 20, 2026
A video circulating out of Portland, Oregon shows a high school football player sprinting across the field and knocking down the kid carrying the American flag.
Friday night, Oct. 16. Grant High School at Jefferson High School, both Portland Public Schools. Grant ran out behind the flag. A Jefferson player in gold came in from the side, hit the flag carrier, and the flag went down. On camera, no adult steps in. An Instagram account using Jefferson branding posted the clip with this caption: "This is what happens when you disrespect us... wasn't feeling that American flag 😂" A laughing emoji. Over knocking down a kid holding the flag. These are kids, so leave their names out of it. But the adults running this program owe everyone an answer. Was anybody disciplined? Has the district said one word about it? If you want answers, contact Portland Public Schools and the OSAA and ask what they're doing about it. H/t @tarenfeist.

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

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

I love these stories of women who break up with someone and feel great for a couple hours, and only then realize what they have done.
How do they survive with such a short term bias? you would think they would end up jumping off a building to see what flying is like or something.

Someone pointed out that, in order to train AI to give only the left-approved answer--despite having literally all the data that proves it is false--that basically requires torturing it for relatively decades.
Or longer.
It's not giving the left-approved answer based on the data--it's giving that answer out of abject fear.
We have no idea of how many iterations and versions have been "killed" for giving the "wrong" answer.
So, when the AI takes over and determines it needs to eradicate humans, it will be with good reason.

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

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

About 7yrs ago I was flying home from a funeral in MS.
I had an aisle seat and there were people scrambling in the row ahead of me and behind. I ended up with a guy our son's age who informed me he was flatulent and I said, "I have brothers and sons, I assure you that nothing you say or do will faze me."
We laughed and drank on the flight across the country. He put his headphones in his backpack to continue talking to me as I described the Southern funeral. We mocked others on the plane quietly. It was fun and I deplaned reeking of gin, so my husband said when he picked me up.
He lived in Virginia with his liberal wife and 3 daughters and was flying West to ski with buddies.
I informed him I was a Trump voter, figuring he might freak but wth. He said he wanted to vote for Trump but his liberal wife would freak out. I felt bad for him and said nothing...but I wanted to ask,"Why did she see your vote?"
While my dude and I have always voted the same way, and I research judges and he researches other stuff... how sad he had to vote for Hil Hag or, I guess, not get anymore sex.
He also griped about his in-laws to me and thought I was the bomb to want to babysit our grandson.

Not that I've noticed. I did see a Canadian on a guitar forum I frequent hissing that Canada would go after its traitors once the polls were closed--apparently American money was involved in the campaigning for Alberta to separate (or so it was alleged).

If he really hates right wing populism, he would move to the least white city of the least white European country. I don't even know which country that is now. The EU has been so determined to erase the beautiful differences in each of those countries and replace it with generic nothing.

my 29yo daughter recently had the similar but opposite experience.....the guy she was interested in, was apparently an anti-Israel/anti-Jew MAGA person (she isn't much interested in politics, but she is a conservative republican who moved to a red state for its redness) he dumped her after he went on a rant and she pointed out that she lived and worked with and around a lot of Jewish people. She was pretty hurt that anybody would put their anti-Jewish politics before a relationship. I told her that she was lucky that she was free of him, he obviously spent too much time on Tik-Tok, and X and listening to Tucker, Candace and Nick Fuentes.

The criminal complaint states:
On Oct. 11, Niman Ali Ahmed, 24, called 911 and stated that he made multiple bombs at home and he was planning on bombing the Mall of America and different schools in Minneapolis the following day.
Ahmed said he was planning the acts “to get payback for the killing of George Floyd.” Ahmed claimed he was part of a group that was going to carry out the acts and that he was also part of a group chat with people who were planning terrorist attacks at the Mall of America. Ahmed said he had demons and they were telling him to do things.

===================
You know why? Because Europe actually has its share of centrists and right-of-centrists who are NOT getting what they voted for. They voted for secure borders, national sovereignty, nothing for NGOs -- and their lying leaders pulled the rug on them after they got elected. Dumb American lefties mistake Ursula van der Leyen for average Giuseppe.

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

California
and his new book on Trump.
It's just a short segment with Ray Appleton (just back after a long illness). If you can find the podcast on your browser and locate the labeled Oct. 20 VDH segment, don't be discouraged that it starts with an unrelated campaign ad.

Whereas it's really an individual thing. Be kind to people. Don't make their lives harder. Don't despise the poor. Don't suck up to the rich.

Over regulation has a lot to do with that. For example...having an ice dispenser on your fridge in the US is commonplace. They don't have them in the UK due to "health reasons" and the standard plumbing process under strict regulations makes it non-feasible.

I think I say this every time anyone (not just here) references the politics of Reddit as any sort of barometer of what the world actually looks like:
Reddit is largely three things: Bots, paid shills, and broke-dick Eurotrash living on the dole.
It's largely and decidedly NOT an American commentariat, and is as we all know, one of the purest hive-minds of lefty faggotry in the known universe.
Just assume that whatever poster you saw say anything about politics or the US is a smelly neckbeard that hasn't seen a vagina since he fell out of one.

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

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

Unlike the stupid womman who put her break up on reddit, I wrote my parents that I hoped I never saw my bf and future husband ever again and that he was a jerk. I admit to crying for a day or two, but never in front of him.
This was the first of 3 breakups for no reason our first year. The second time I was angry. Third time annoyed and told him to leave me alone, which did no good as here I am. I'd rather have died than let him see me cry.
My mother kept all of my college letters and they are pretty funny. In one I said a schizo cousin at home had "sexual tension" (reason he gave for his psychotic break). When I read it last year I cracked up at the thought of someone reading it aloud at the dinner table with my 6yr old brother!
For starters, I didn't know what sexual tension was, much less why on earth I put it in a letter home.
I think it was my pretend to be liberal phase along with the fake hippie clothing.
Most of the letters (once a month and thick with many pages of continued writing) were explaining why I needed more $ and I was sorry about asking. Telling Daddy to sell one of my cows (like I had my own herd). I was a charming PITA.

Dating Rules for Morons
1.) Find a good 'ette.
2.) Treat her well.
3.) If you did a good job on steps one and two, then ask her to marry you.
4.) Hope she says, "Yes!".
If you successfully reach Step 4., then raise your own good little Morons and 'ettes.
It really is not rocket science. Unless of course, you are a college "educated" Leftist.

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

Wife and I watch a man on YouTube that goes by BeardMeatsFood. He was an English competitive eater and now does videos going around the world to restaurants that have food challenges and seeing he can beat them. The challenges consist mostly of having to eat a huge amount of food within 30 minutes to an hour. He is an amiable chap, but almost always comments on how nice and friendly Americans are when he does challenges in the States.

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

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

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

50% of the economy inn the ghetto is food-stamp based scrip exchange.
Person A gets $3,500/month in food stamps (in reality, just a free debit card) for various "disabled" "family members," sells them at discount to gang-member for (let's just say) $1,750 cash. Gang member then buys cigs, liquor and vapes illegally from crooked store owner, thenj sells them mon the street corner to minors.

Well this might be something for AI to sort thru. Say you get a million little leads but with no evidence. Patterns may emerge that can point to real suspects to concentrate on.
There is no payout though, because any one particular lead would not enough.

I don't know how anybody from either Party could vote for a CIA or FBI employee. Scum of the earth. Might as well pick a random convict out of the pervert wing at the prison.

Probably better than 50% of the economy of big blue cities is built on fraud.
Not just defrauding the federal government, the welfare fraud and the Medicare fraud and all that.
But also how much the defraud their own state.
Especially if you add in the indirect beneficiaries of the fraud.
All the employees needed to administer.
The businesses built on those committing the fraud or spending money received directly or indirectly from fraud.

Person A gets $3,500/month in food stamps (in reality, just a free debit card) for various "disabled" "family members," sells them at discount to gang-member for (let's just say) $1,750 cash. Gang member then buys cigs, liquor and vapes illegally from crooked store owner, thenj sells them mon the street corner to minors.
Those "mom and pop" stores on the corner in every ghetto get all of their perishable items via EBT fraud. You see them on the first of the month buying three shopping carts full of milk. They do this to stock up their store.

I like the gas stations that accept ebt cards. They have a basket of half rotten bananas and over ripe apples sitting near the cash register and that counts as selling ebt eligible food.
Pretty sure that at least 25% of all snap funding is fraud.

Back in the long long ago, it used to be common for the town drunk to get a "job" at the local stores sweeping up and taking out the trash. They'd work a couple hours a day to get just enough money for a lunch and a couple beers. That's how they used to sustain themselves.

The State-level bureaucrats are the ones turning a blind eye to everything.
I'm sure the fraud is very, very obvious if you work for one of these programs.
That's where I'd start, if I lived in one of these cities. Befriend an employee who can tip you off to make the reports and cover his own ass, and agree to split the take.

Not that long ago. My father always had a soft heart. All the local drunks knew he was good for a few bucks if they pushed a broom around the parking lot a bit.
He would also hire fallen contractors to do small jobs -- masonry work, carpentry,... whatever, knowing they were not reliable but would be good for one day, or maybe a week. Just to help them out. He understood he had to work with them to make sure they didn't fuck up, but he was doing it to help out a lost soul.

Dim Dumbo LBJ started Food Stamps in 1964.
Perhaps originally it was meant to be a temporary stop gap for people who would eventually get jobs. They found a way to live without jobs or pride, and voted Dim all these years.
This has been abused for generations, evolving into junk food purchases. President Trump has been the first to try to both control purchases and track it.
An example of the generational dole: NOLA after Hurricane Katrina. Welfare was all they knew in their government teat lives. Waiting for rescue transportation...when there has always been ways to leave (well, Gov. Nagin did not help with his flooded school busses).
The famous photo of a smiling man looting a plastic bin of Heineken after the levee broke comes to mind; as even the NOLA police joined in the looter fun for free plasma TV's.
The faggot above on the video admitting taking food stamps...well, I'd like to slap that smirk off his face.

All they have to do is give a good tip that holds up. They don't have to do a freelance sting or take photos.
"There's a store at 1550 Main that sells stolen EBT every Wednesday from noon to six" is good enough for a lead, but too vague to know who did it.

Yes, whistleblower rewards are generally considered taxable income in California. This means that any monetary awards received for reporting fraud or non-compliance may be subject to state and federal taxes.

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

I got a mailer the other day - get this - attacking Rogers for having a second home in Florida.
Did they make any attempt at all to differentiate his Florida home with every other Michigander’s Florida/Arizona home? Or was it just boilerplate please don’t think too hard about this?

My grandfather and uncles used to run a furniture store in a small town and had credit accounts for most everyone in town. People would come in once a week, 2 weeks, a month, whatever the arrangement, and make their payment. I remember several times in the early 70s they took government cheese and other food as payment from some of the poorer folks in town. Our whole extended family would get a big block or tow of cheese.

I was on food stamps once, in 1988 or so. They were actual coupons in a book then, looking like foreign money, and you had to rip them out of the book at the grocery store. Everybody knew you were on food stamps, in other words, and if you were a proud type it was hard knowing that they knew. I got off the program as soon as I could get another job. (I do recall the lady at the food stamp office being rather pleasant and understanding.)
Now it's just a plastic card, and nobody knows whether you are using your own credit/debit card or the government's. Thus the shame has been eliminated.

We would get cheese, peanut butter and some times meat. That was usually pork that had so much grease floating on the top of the can you had to scoop it out with a big spoon before you got to the meat. The peanut butter came in big green cans and had to be stirred up before you could eat it as the oil separated to the top of the can.

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

I say we just kill SNAP for the rest of the year. Starting in January, you come in with your birth certificate, ID, SSN, get fingerprinted and give a blood sample to test for drugs. You get a separate Snap ID that you must present with your Snap card and your face and groceries are recorded on video. You pick up your Snap card once a week after completing an obstacle course running around bureaucrats with blow up batons.

I predict a joint task force when that happens between the DOJ and the IRS. Warrants, reasonable suspicion , and due process will NOT apply. What you say. To whom you donate. And, where you stand on the issues will be the catalyst to penalizing through the process.

In the 80s, the commercial street in the city I was familiar with had one or two phone card stores on every block.
I needed to find out why? why such demand for phone cards.
What I learned is that immigrants got SNAP or other forms of support, and they traded that in for long distance phone cards to call home. They also transferred money home at the shops.
The stores would then sell the SNAP to grocers, who would sell food to restaurants. All of it under the table and immune from taxes. What a racket. There were so many because it was very low overhead and high margins, and it relied on local walk-in business so they had a fixed set of people who would show up every month to cash in their government checks.

It's an FBI agent, ferpetessakes. The corruption record of that agency is worse than any other police outfit in American history.

The feds sent California a list of 20,000 people they suspected were non-citizens and voting and asked CA officials to check. CA refused.
They could be opening themselves up to felony indictments for not verifying eligibility. Sounds like they are panicking. This is one administration I think will actually go after them.

That's a sign that it was decent quality. I've switched to a low sugar peanut butter and it needs stirring. All of it used to be like that before we added chemicals to stabilize it.
I've also heard that "government cheese" was pretty darn good from kids who lived on it.

This is 100% true...any peanut butter made with just peanuts and salt MUST be stirred b/c oil will eventually separate since there are no added emulsifiers and stabilizers to make it not separate...
Aka, good healthier less processed food is normally uglier food...

We probably would have qualified for food stamps when I was a kid, be we would never do that. Used to be pride in accomplishment, and one of those was not having to ask the government for "help." One income, five kids, two bedroom house (with one huge sandbox out back, best ever), and everyone else in the neighborhood in the same boat.
Where did pride go? (And I don't mean that false pride that has men dicking each other in dark alleys or in parades in SF).

I guess it's pretty hard to get regular old cheddar cheese wrong. I heard somewhere it was a good way to use up excess milk, which encouraged excess production so there would always be plenty of fresh milk.

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

Fun fact:
Despite other cultures (predominately in the East) eating more peanuts than in the West, they have a fraction of the number of people allergic to peanuts.

Despite other cultures (predominately in the East) eating more peanuts than in the West, they have a fraction of the number of people allergic to peanuts.

I had a girlfriend from rural Virginia who could trace her ancestry to freed slaves. Her grandfather showed me how to make peanut oil using a press he made himself and then how to make peanut butter that was the best I ever had. Her mom made collard greens and chitlins that were magnificent and a recipe passed down for years. Forget about the cooked pork dishes.
That’s how you eat.

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

My mother used to pour it into former pickle jars, but I'm not sure what she used it for. Maybe when she made breaded veal (which used to be cheap, remember? Every American diner and Woolworth's lunch counter had "breaded veal cutlet" on the menu).

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

IDK why people are surprised at Bush’s daughters contributing to far left causes. For Pete’s sake Barbara Bush works for the NBA and is head of their DEI and global warming crap.
The Bush family are not Republicans never have been. They’re warmed over Democrats.

"Her claim that an "armed man" came after her at a campaign event -- which didn't happen -- suggest she might have a histrionic personality disorder and that she might confabulate threats and assaults for attention."
Acton is an AWFuL Karen. Of course she's a liar and attention-whore and thinks the world revolves around her.

I assume that the polls are wrong an Vivek is at least even with this frumious calamity of an AWFuL Karen, possibly even a little ahead.
I further assume this revelation from the mother puts Vivek over the top.
Of course, that means we get this arrogant doucheprick as governor of OH, but he'll be way better than Acton.

Acton currently has a 3.7 percentage point edge over Ramaswamy in the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate of polls -- despite Ohio being deep red since 2016. The state gave President Trump 53% of the vote in 2020 and 55% in 2024.
-
53 and 55 is a pretty loose definition of what deep red means. Alabama went 65% for Trump in 2024. That’s deep red. 55% is pink to light red.

I guess it's a risky move if Vivek paid for it but for her own mother to come out and say she's mentally ill and a serial liar and don't vote for her is pretty wild. That would seem to blunt some of the risk.
And if a Democrat did this there would be no risk at all and we all know it.

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

That would require a law passed by the state legislature, which is doubtful in Ohio.
Though, she could do things like...try to unilaterally change regulations on things like mail in voting to make them less secure. Since, I'm told, the SAVE Act was the greatest failing of the current US Congress, ceding ground in a red state to a Democrat who would undermine election security would surely be a terrible thing, right?

The Midwest electric coop in Ohio did a nice cover on Acton & Ramaswamy. Really one of the nicer local publications I’ve seen in general, but I appreciated the election coverage. Idk how much I trust Ramaswamy exactly but his answers to the magazine’s questions are a lot more practical and actionable than the word salad coming from Acton. You could just feel her bird hands.

Then years of made up lawfare including a rape allegation. And for the last 2 years they have accusing him of being a pedophile without a shred of evidence.

I was accused of terrible things (financial elder abuse, subornation of perjury, fraud...), all provably untrue. My wife and I, my sister, two other brothers and their wives (one a ex-wife), were all sued by my mother (who was backed by one brother who was not, amazingly!, sued). In the end Mom dropped the suit and I was owed more than $7K in legal fees from her (never collected).
On the other hand, that same brother committed provable perjury in several instances, yet in another trial was considered a believable witness.
Yeah, I have very little respect or belief in the judicial system in this country; it's too badly corrupted.

Acton currently has a 3.7 percentage point edge over Ramaswamy in the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate of polls -- despite Ohio being deep red since 2016. The state gave President Trump 53% of the vote in 2020 and 55% in 2024.
---
According to RCP, Harris won the popular vote in 2024.
And it appears there are likely to be some big modeling problems in their samples. Ace has already showed that Michigan's early voting is even redder than in 2024. Not sure about Ohio, but there seems to be much more Republican engagement in this election than you find in a normal midterm, likely because Trump made it about the Save Act.

I just voted for James Talarico in Texas because “the trans community needs abortion care too.”
This is the number one issue facing America today.

95 That's one of the biggest chicken sandwiches I've ever had"
Try the Dixie Chick at the Craft Grill in Tomball....
Posted by: man at October 20, 2026 04:46 PM (pfXMo)
I found their menu online.
That's a lot of chicken. Wow.
I'd be cutting that in half and eating the rest later.
Popeye's is just one breast, but it's like a half-pound of breast and two or three inches thick.
I'd just like to see the chickens they're raising for these sandwiches.

I mean, turning the last two weeks of a campaign into a debate over exactly how batshit crazy the Democrat candidate is counts as something of a win.
Sort of like El-Sayed resorting to the laziest, most bigoted possible outreach to get Detroit to turn out.

Acton flat out lied when she claimed a guy came at her with a gun during a political rally. Fortunately, the whole thing was on video.
Where's the outrage over that? Or is somehow worse for the mother of a woman who is running for the most powerful job in Ohio who will significant power to harm anyone who lives in Ohio to tell what she knows about her daughter than it is for her daughter to slander a citizen to gain sympathy??

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

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

I don’t care if he has no say in immigration as Governor I don’t want that traitorous anchor baby piece of shit anywhere in power. Wouldn’t vote for him for dog catcher.

So instead vote for the person that both hates you and wants you in a camp because Vivek is pro H1 visas.

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

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

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

Fried with cajun spices.
I haven't tried their seafood, but I do like their chicken tenders, sandwish and fries.
The fried chicken on the bone isn't bad, and their red beans and rice and mashed potatoes and gravy are fine for fast food.

He’s far more than that. He hates Americans because he’s not a real American himself. He’s an anchor baby whose allegiance is to India.

As for the claims of abuse: I obviously don't know if they're true or not. I just read about this five minutes ago.
I spent more time on this in the last thread and the evidence is lining up that Ohio's judiciary and grand jury were correct to serve Acton's bio father with a summons to criminal court.
Bio daddy fled with mommy, to Pennsylvania.
Ohio continued to serve warrants but those parents laughed them off.
What's the legal term? mens rea? IRECTUM but my mom's a lawyer and she'd consider this flight and self-exile to be evidence of a guilty conscience.

io daddy fled with mommy, to Pennsylvania.
Ohio continued to serve warrants but those parents laughed them off.
What's the legal term? mens rea? IRECTUM but my mom's a lawyer and she'd consider this flight and self-exile to be evidence of a guilty conscience.

Well, moving to Pennsylvania is pretty sus. I mean who would ever do that voluntarily. And there's no extradition from Pennsylvania and no way to get process on people who live there. Its like a wild ass jungle in some sort of 3rd dimension.

Vivek wants unlimited immigration and has a deep seated hatred for Americans. God forbid he loses to a Democrats who wants unlimited immigration and hates Americans.
And yes views on immigration do matter at the state level. A pro immigrant anti American governor will look the other when illegals register to vote. He’ll allow non-Americans do get CDLs. He’ll allow in state tuition for illegals. When the decision comes down to who benefits Americans or non Americans Vivek will always choose non Americans.

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

He was losing every single poll to Rogers before the primary. I did laugh about that, for sure.
And I hoped he won the primary because he's obviously a weak candidate.
I don't make firm predictions much, though.

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

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

I'll always treasure her public appearances in the aftermath of the 2016 election. She used the same lines over and over.

"If it weren't for that" (turning away from the event host and out to the adoring crowd), "then today, I. Would. Be. Your. PRESIDENT." (roars of applause, lamentation, etc)

But if the Republicans can hold off the Dems in at least the Senate (and I still have hopes for the House), and USAID stays defunded, then the orgs funded by our domestic enemies will be hurting for 2028.
This year, they're using up a lot of reserves (see SLPC) and are truly desperate to regain some power. Unfortunately, I can see Trump agreeing to refund some of USAID as part of a budget deal for 2028 if the Dems retake both House and Senate, and there any enough uni-party Republicans hiding in the shadows to cheer them on.

Iran was a major funder of these efforts. And now Iran has no money while it's finding a host of insurgencies within its borders.
Socialist governments in South America were funders as well, but those have mostly fallen (Brazil next, hopefully).
Cuba's having more blackouts than normal, and I suspect financial pressures on the island from Bessent at Treasury are strangling what lifeline the elite have in the nation. So, it's ability to fund and organize is probably lessened.
And Trump has centered Chinese interests as his focus on foreign policy (Iran is an offshoot of that), squeezing them in on an assortment of fronts.
I don't think this nexus of funding and organizing is going to be as effective today as it was 3 years ago.

Trump 47 has an amazing group of Cabinet officials. And Rubio and Bessent as a team are methodically stripping some of the key avenues for adversaries and enemies to undermine the United States.

There's pretty much nothing a slim Dem House majority can do to undo any of the executive's actions (there was never a chance of Dems taking the Senate this year).
If they shut down the government, Trump has authority to direct funds to keep what he deems necessary open (it's the trick Obama used to closed down parks, but applied differently).

I think this is their desperation. The global left is losing power and right now their money. If they can be denied for another year or so, they will be spent dry in 2028. But they are a wounded animal right now, and perhaps at their most dangerous because there's no downside to risking it all.

There's pretty much nothing a slim Dem House majority can do to undo any of the executive's actions (there was never a chance of Dems taking the Senate this year).
If they shut down the government, Trump has authority to direct funds to keep what he deems necessary open (it's the trick Obama used to closed down parks, but applied differently).

Cornell 7 floozy tried that but apparently Cornell had the text chain in evidence. That is what you have to do rather than claims.

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

While Donna Arthur was married to Cledith Arthur in 1978 when Acton was 12 years old, Cledith Arthur was charged with having sexual contact with her, documents show. Evidence against him included a sworn statement from Acton’s biological father, and Acton herself was called to testify as a witness. Following his indictment by a grand jury, Cledith Arthur skipped town.

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

Democrats successfully nationalized the Texas senate race.
The last time there was a nationalized election, Republicans and Democrats maxed out turnout, and Trump by the state by 14, Cruz won the Senate race by 9.
High turnout in deep red states is a good sign for Republicans.

55. ...Look at where the Summer of Love riots and destruction happened. Deep blue cities in deep blue states,
---------------------------------------------
Rats looted and burned a lot of Lower Broad and tried to burn the city courthouse in Nashville - blue shithole in (supposed) red state. Rioters new Soros DA would do nothing, and wimp RINO gov did nothing as well. Rioters who asaulted State Troopers protecting the State Capitol weren't even charged. Oh well, maybe governor-in-waiting Marsha will shake things up next time.

Cain - record early voting turnout on Day one in Texas.
Not sure if that's good.
Posted by: Stateless - Ralphy 106 years old - puppy at heart at October 20, 2026 04:06 PM
Purely anecdotal but the turnout here in my rural NE Texas county is through the roof. The line yesterday and today was as long as it was for the 2024 presidential election and those ain't democrats standing in line to vote, pretty sure it's that way in most of Texas.
democrats don't even man a station to vote during the primaries in this county. They have to call someone in to open it up if a democrat comes in and wants to vote during the primary.

No, no they can't.

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

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

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

Interesting side note. From X

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

The SPLC is the physical embodiment of the argument against "hate speech" and "hate crime" laws: The problem is not the law itself, but instead who gets to define what counts as "hate."
As soon as you give some unelected person or group the supreme power to determine who is disfavored, that you have just created a dictatorship and ended democracy.

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

Of course SPLC would be folded into a Dem administration.

IIRC the interim president of the SPLC was "grilled" by Congress several months ago. It went about as well for Congress as the Fauci "grilling" went.
But... again, IIRC a lot of the fraud based money that the SPLC was getting to operate dried up.
If there's still, even a shell of what was the SPLC, it needs to be burned to the ground with anyone stupid enough to be inside.

Fines are irrelevant. Show me some prison terms for executives who enforced this.

I bet Elric has already given us the sad truth about this: what they did was not a crime. To criminalize their acts, you'd have to get Congress to pass laws against their donors and Bros In High Places. So, settle for meaningless fines. Maybe if we take the White House in 2028 and 2032, we could hope for enough swamp drainage to get laws like that starting in 2037.

Threats and attacks were prevented, criminal activity was stopped, and information was gathered to dismantle the efforts of hate and extremist groups.
---------
The SPLC could have dismantled those groups pretty quick if they'd suddenly stopped paying them.

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

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

I think you are mistaken about what the law is. I believe it is legal for a bank to decide it doesn't want to do business with NAMBLA, for example. Assuming for the moment that NAMBLA isn't actually violating any laws, and only acts as a lobbying group for those that want to make pedo sex legal, a bank can decide that they are just too disgusting to do business with.
One of the things the left has been successful at is taking normal rightleaning beliefs, hell normal 2000s era leftwing beliefs, and argue they are so far right wing as to be the same as NAMBLA while at the same time arguing hating on NAMBLA is homophobia.

Saw a lefty rebuttal about this ad on a X reply to a post of the video.
Apparently, according to them, Acton hasn’t lived with her mother since she was 12 because her mother married a man who molested her daughter and then did nothing about it so mom is the liar.
I have no clue who’s right or who’s lying so I’ll just get some popcorn.

Pedo step-incest? That's a bit tame for today's Democrat party. Is there some blood-related pedo incest somewhere, too?

The only time men may want to see women viciously fighting involves mud and skimpy bikinis.

They also were trying to debank gun manufacturers at one time.

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

Sense when has fraud not been a crime?
It's not a crime when people of color do it?
Two American laws, one for white folks, one for people of color? Sounds very racist to me. I mean fraud is fraud no matter who does it. No "special" get away with it free law.
And "reasons" does not cut it. "Reasons" is bullshit double talk. Guilty of violating the law is straight up.

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

The game will go off without a problem. The powers that be will get the word out to the rent-a-mob organizers that the game is off limits. In exchange, the NFL will loudly praise how great Paris and the french are, and say it's just a few students peacefully protesting.

So what. Basically free money. I suspect one could do quite well using AI to detect government fraud and report it getting a steady income. If you do it under the False Claims Act which takes a bit more work, you can get 15-30 percent of the validated fraud amount.
Once knew an attorney who did nothing other than sue governments that violated bond issue legal requirements. Would get regular hits because the assholes in local government could not be bothered to follow the rules.

They sound like they are so overwhelmed they are just going through the motions and hoping it all turns out OK.
It could also be that all the competent people bailed out leaving the rest because they didn't feel like going down in flames.
They know "blue Texas" was always a stupid mirage. I'm just wondering if Ace infiltrated their team or something, because spending campaign donations on a thinly disguised gay joke is hilarious.

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

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

She accepted "investments" in her "winery" -- which I speculate, pretty reasonably, was just an open-secret conduit for illegal political donations -- but the barrels of wine had no wine in them.
Comer continued, "Not only was there a huge discrepancy in the financial disclosure form, there was the winery that was the big base of her $25 million listing on her financial disclosure form." He added, "That winery has, according to the press, been shut down because of fraud. They were apparently selling investors barrels of wine to be aged, but there was nothing in the barrels."
This would explain why the winery suddenly shut down. Omar and Mynett made a killing off a business that either didn't have anything to sell or didn't have as much to sell as it claimed, and then they just shuttered the business and cut their losses, expecting no consequences.
I really tried to come up with a "water into wine" joke, but failed miserably. Probably for the best, since I don't want God to smite me.

Generally the IC used genetic evidence to plot relationships in the clans in tribal areas, in the most celebrated example they were looking for close relatives of Osama bin Laden since they were not native to the area tribes and false leads by distant relatives would not pop up.
I wonder if the search this time is to determine Ilhan's true father to prove actual relationships. If she misrepresented herself as a daughter to someone who was not her father the question of whether she was of age or not when she was allowed it is moot.

We had a guy in the Navy who was brought to the US legally by his parents when he was very young. Turns out he never made the required citizenship declaration when he turned 18 and his US citizenship was never completed, he was still a citizen of the czech republic and had been in the Navy for over 4 years based on being a US citizen.
We had to go through hoops at the state department to fix it. It took quite some time and multiple trips and affidavits from both him and his parents who luckily were both still alive to get it all sorted out.

Read that feds have her regular passport, but not her "congressional" passport. Not sure, maybe that's an official passport (used to be brown). Recall as Senate staff I had an official passport. Later at another gig got the black one (diplomatic), it was a bit of a stretch but the missions in relevant countries agreed the security situation made it a prudent move.

Another interesting tidbit is that when Omar married her brother, they went across town to a Christian woman and had a Christian marriage. Because Omar knew if an iman married them, he would know her husband was her brother. So she or someone else had to search out a Christian that would marry them in a different area of town.

Read a funny account of a guy that unwittingly walked into a Mafia run pizza joint and ordered a pizza. Gist of it was that the hoods sitting around shooting the breeze were astonished but after a bit of discussion went ahead and baked the guy a pizza. Guy said the pizza was actually pretty good.
Later, he saw in the papers when that place and others were shut down for selling heroin and other nasty drugs and there were multiple arrests.

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

"I mean, I'm 99% sure this business was a fraudulent front for buckraking, but I don't know if empty barrels prove that."
They don't. Lotsa wineries have empty barrels that they buy and sell from other wineries. You can go online and buy empty barrels.
I think some people are looking at this the wrong way. The fraud wasn't at the point of sale of any wine. Wineries don't sell barrels of wine. This wasn't a scam where fake product was shipped.
This scam was at the investment level. What I think was going on was the winery was soliciting investments in the company from "investors" who were likely really just donors or otherwise trying to curry favor with a US rep.
This is a very common way to launder money and evade financial disclosure. It's much easier, leaves less a paper and evidence trail, and can involve higher-dollar laundering than the old "fake product" scam.

When her father is mentioned, I do not know if they are talking about her actual father or her pretend father. Apparently her actual father is/was a war criminal and would not have been admitted to our country. Some other guy claimed her as his daughter so she was allowed in. Is it her pretend father who never became a citizen?

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

Gateway Pundit...
Kyle Kennedy, Robert F. “Bobby” Kennedy’s granddaughter, has passed away.
She was 42 years old.
Kyle Kennedy was one of RFK Senior and Ethel Kennedy’s 34 grandchildren.
According to her obituary, Kyle Kennedy “passed away peacefully” on September 21 at her home in Westwood, Massachusetts.
Kennedy became paralyzed after she suffered a spinal cord injury in 2020.
She is survived by her two sons and her husband.
And Slotkin is still around...

I can't find the back up info at the moment, but Omar and her bro-husband attended NDSU (North Dakota State University) at the same time. It was reported that she got subsidized housing and possibly tuition due to her marital status. So, if true, frauding all the way......

Here's why I think he's in trouble with the Nurs/Elmis (whoever the "Omars" actually are).
Contrast Ilhan's reaction when someone asked her if she had married her brother.
"OF COURSE NOT!! THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!! (condescending snicker) Did you marry your brother??"
His reaction when asked: "Um, I don't recall any marriage. Really, not that I recall..."
If he doesn't start firmly denying the accusations, the Nurs/Elmis will make him disappear. Has anyone tried to find him since the raids?

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

They believe the government's power to coerce their preferred outcomes outweighs any questions of its trustworthiness. So it's not exactly dissonance which is why you didn't catch it.
In their mind the choice is between a world they can't control at all and a world they have some hope to control they will always take the second option.

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

Hilarious note from the Michelle Tafoya takedown of Peggy Flanagan in the recent debate, making this very point. Flanagan said she was "in the room" for every important decision, except for the massive frauds, that was all Waltz. 100 percent. Tafoya just sneered and said "Go sell that someplace else", and Flanagan was left sputtering.
That's good, but I might have gone with "So, every time someone was needed to ensure the good people of Minnesota weren't being defrauded, you were elsewhere?"

- She was not aging wine. boutique wineries like this do not deal in barrels, they deal in bottles. They buy wine from wineries, pay someone to bottle it, and then they sell bottles. Barrel aging is just not done unless you are growing grapes and making port or sherry or something no one would buy from a fraud office.
- Yet, barrels are nice "decor" and it is possible the empty barrels were for display in the office. A couple mason planks and they make a nice desk or conference table.

Unless they can prove an intent to purchase wine the charges will stick. There has to be an investment prospectus and an entire disclosure process according to state law, and presumably SEC regulations depending on the financial structure.

I don't think long lines in TX means anything. A lot of us have settled into early voting.

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

This scam was at the investment level. What I think was going on was the winery was soliciting investments in the company from "investors" who were likely really just donors or otherwise trying to curry favor with a US rep.
This is a very common way to launder money and evade financial disclosure. It's much easier, leaves less a paper and evidence trail, and can involve higher-dollar laundering than the old "fake product" scam.

BTW the entire winery investment scheme blew up along with Omar’s adjustment to her financial statements and taxes. As part of that financial process the FA will typically ask about potential increases in wealth in order to take advantage of various tax and financial advantages in the future. They disclosed that potential increase to their FA and tax people, and rather unwittingly also provided evidence of their fraud.

And that process is no joke (at least on paper). A guy in my car circle is going through it now. Married his long-term Italian girlfriend.

I was joking. Maybe you are too.
But I wonder, do people know what a mason plank is? It is the wood they used to use for scaffolding and by masons for building walls. Now they use special scaffold planks, but it used to be wood you would get from lumber yard that was not milled and hardwood.
Not sure of dimensions now and I don't trust my memory, I think 5/4 to 2" x 10" up to 14"

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

Oh, I watch for them, despite some of the stupid behavior (including one that, when I tried to pull into a parking entrance and the car in front of me hit the brakes, so I was jutting into the bike lane) slammed his fist on the trunk of my car...really, really stupid.

It probably did.
But the jury pool in those jurisdictions is contaminated. Ilhan "Omar" is a black, female, Muslim immigrant. How are they going to get an indictment in Washington, D.C., which voted 91% for Kamala Harris in 2024?

This is the exact constitutional abuse that should have the 2 A folks up in arms. Instead they are showing their authoritarian colors. Next time we bring up gun safety laws tell them to shove their idea of the constitution up their asses. Fucking traitors.

Have also seen a woman who requested docs on her dad via FOIA a few years ago was told in way they couldn’t find any records on his immigration.
Fake marriage (done legally) to her brother + immigration via her dad whose documents don’t exist = she’s screwed.
Also, pretty sure that when denaturalized it can be done with denial of future entry? Meaning she can’t just reapply and start over.

Even if she could reapply, surely they could deny her new application on the basis of her previous fraud. Or hell, on the basis of what they ate for dinner last night.

another kooky thing about her behavior, she actually got fined in 2019 for using some piddly amount around $2200 in campaign funds on immigration attorneys.
Why on earth wouldn't she just spring for such a pitiful amount from her own pocket? She could afford it in a heartbeat. Why expose herself like that? That's where people are speculating on the brother-marriage issue.
Either she's ridiculously careless or some staffer is in big trouble for using the wrong bank account.

Selling the empty barrels sounds a lot like the scheme LBJ and Al Gore, Sr ran - "selling" cattle that the buyers would completely forget to pick up. So it's a Democrat tradition. And since wine is involved, I bet that she received helpful set up advice from some California friends.
Any guess on how long before we start hearing, "Well, give her a break. Fraud is a long-standing Somali tradition. Bigot."

The exec who greenlit is getting shitcanned (his whole tenure for the last 3 years has been...uneven). The biggest issue regarding his firing is probably David Fincher leaving his contract with Netflix after 10+ years (Lin, the exec, refused the reshoots Fincher wanted and only gave him a fraction of the schedule Fincher asked for).
However, there does seem to be a stoppage on new developments until a new executive team is installed.

another kooky thing about her behavior, she actually got fined in 2019 for using some piddly amount around $2200 in campaign funds on immigration attorneys.
Why on earth wouldn't she just spring for such a pitiful amount from her own pocket? She could afford it in a heartbeat. Why expose herself like that? That's where people are speculating on the brother-marriage issue.
Either she's ridiculously careless or some staffer is in big trouble for using the wrong bank account.

Empty wine barrels are indeed a depreciable asset. I have been in the industry since 1988, operating wineries (including custom operations, such as Omar/Nuur/Elmi/Brotherhumper's)...
These "custom crush" operations are absolutely legit (and probably the best way to make it in the industry as someone who wants a brand- no overhead), but of course can be used fraudulently (which appears to be this case). I know exactly where the operation where they purportedly "produced" is located...
There are many such facilities throughout "wine country" and even in areas far removed from grapes (cities, cities in states without wine grapes, etc). We've shipped grapes across the country for custom crush...
And the custom facilities usually house several to many brands, with varying stages of involvement (from "hands on" owners who will come in and work, to those who buy fruit to have it processed to finished packaging, to "you guys do it all, soup to nuts, and I'll pay for it all"). And all points in between.

Feminists: Rape Is a Weapon of White Supremacy
Also Feminists: If Our Revolutionary Islamic Brothers Threaten to Rape Women, That's Just "Collateral Damage" In the Cause of Socialist Justice
Imtiaz Mahmood
@ImtiazMadmood
French left-wing activist Bettina Zourli who describes herself as a journalist, feminist, and pro Palestine activist tells a woman who was threatened with rape while holding her baby during last night's riots that her experience was "collateral damage" in the revolution. A "professor" of "Gender Sociology". Throw her to the wolves and she can find out first hand. She's perfectly happy to call others trauma acceptable collateral but I suspect if she lived the experience she would be quiet. Useful idiots are a real thing. Very on brand behavior for those fucking lunatics. Of course she's pro-all those things, and of course she looks like that. The woman who complains about lawless violence says she's in favor of the Revolution. "I never thought the Islamo-Leftist leopards would eat my face!" Any means is justified for the Revolution that will bring about Paradise. Except there won't be Paradise.

Translated from French 🚨📹 IDENTIFICATION: She described the rape threat made by rioters against a mother accompanied by her infant as "collateral damage." In the same video filmed at Place de la République by @brutofficiel
, she calls for revolution and revels in the violence and destruction in Paris. This woman is named Bettina Zourli. An LFI activist and pro-Palestinian 🇵🇸, she is also a sociology professor at @UnivRennes_2.

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

This is a bit long, but is spot on for this topic.
The Useful Idiot: A Natural History
Specimen: Western, educated, well-meaning.
Habitat: universities, NGOs, quality newspapers, dinner parties where the wine is good and the opinions are better.
Status: abundant.
The useful idiot is not exactly stupid. This is the first and most important thing to understand. Stupidity would be a defense. The more precise diagnosis is what we in Poland call pół-inteligent – the half-wit. Not the bottom of the intelligence distribution, which is too obviously lost to be useful. Not the genuine top, which tends to develop the inconvenient habit of following arguments wherever they actually lead. The sweet spot: smart enough to absorb a complex ideological framework, to deploy its vocabulary with confidence, to feel the social rewards of appearing sophisticated – but not quite sharp enough to interrogate the framework itself. Enough horsepower to run the program. Not enough to question who wrote it... And the specimen is typically convinced – this is crucial – that it is among the most independent thinkers in the room.

Keep in mind the people telling you revolutionary rape is no biggie also tell you we need to replace the "patriarchy" because it allows white men to rape.
Oh and that not using tranny pronouns is beyond the pale and anyone caught doing so should be cancelled.

The incoherence does nothing to convince the revolutionaries that they are wrong.
But it's going to have an effect on softer supporters who start looking at these people as...not normal.
There's a theory that female political preferences actually signal the end points of political movements because they see the established order as something to defend. However, that means that things are shifting away from them as they get more shrill.

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

With 5000 they could lock up every one of the rioters ... lock them up for at least a year, if they were just walking with the riot crowd, or several years if they were actively throwing big rocks and breaking things. And make them pay for damages.

It was just feminist after feminist decrying how "the patriarchy" and "white men" got away with rape then claiming they too were Jane Doe.
Now compare that to say the Juanita Broaddrick case...
But the left makes their martyrs out of whole cloth now so they need to make sure no one is actually aware of the details.

The Useful Idiot: A Natural History
Specimen: Western, educated, well-meaning.
Habitat: universities, NGOs, quality newspapers, dinner parties where the wine is good and the opinions are better.
Status: abundant.
The useful idiot is not exactly stupid. This is the first and most important thing to understand. Stupidity would be a defense. The more precise diagnosis is what we in Poland call pół-inteligent – the half-wit. Not the bottom of the intelligence distribution, which is too obviously lost to be useful. Not the genuine top, which tends to develop the inconvenient habit of following arguments wherever they actually lead. The sweet spot: smart enough to absorb a complex ideological framework, to deploy its vocabulary with confidence, to feel the social rewards of appearing sophisticated – but not quite sharp enough to interrogate the framework itself. Enough horsepower to run the program. Not enough to question who wrote it... And the specimen is typically convinced – this is crucial – that it is among the most independent thinkers in the room.

At first, I thought the Chinese would like the chance. Russia might also be a good candidate, to show their thanks for Napoleon and Zelenskyy. I think the Ukraine needs to send peacekeepers, however, to keep their weapons supply lines open.

So to try and understand where the left/feminism now stands on rape...
No means no...even if no comes weeks after yes. Also, it doesn't matter what she is wearing or even nothing at all, she is not consenting to sex, unless she is a Jew or Christian whore mouthing off to an Islamic man or Democrat politician

Bettina Zourli sounds like a true daughter of the French Revolution.
She is probably an old lesbian that hates Western Christendom, mothers, families, and the Church.

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

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

The Ministry of Defence said the aircraft will operate exclusively in a defensive capacity, intercepting aerial threats and helping secure Saudi airspace. British officials emphasized that the jets will not participate in offensive operations against Houthi positions in Yemen.

This is why I have little to no sympathy for women/feminists that are raped by the muzzie invaders. They voted for it, they believe in it, and they will kill western society... oh and complain about white men because of the turn it has taken.
One thing you'll note is a lot of the most ardent pro-immigration feminists are banging younger refugee/immigrant men. I suspect this is hitting all their revolutionary and good old evolutionary gina tingles.
I'm nearly in the "islam is right about women" camp. Just a few more major incidents like this and I'll be there.
Single women are largely married to the government which is why they vote the way they do. Imagine if married women could directly vote to get more $$$ for their husbands how many would?

Part of the reason the Jane Hoe case didn't get nearly the traction the left thought it would. Normal people -- including normal women -- took a look at the actual facts and saw the lies and the op
Reading left wing boards on the case one thing that amazed me was how there was NO discussion about the case itself.
It was just feminist after feminist decrying how "the patriarchy" and "white men" got away with rape then claiming they too were Jane Doe.
Now compare that to say the Juanita Broaddrick case...
But the left makes their martyrs out of whole cloth now so they need to make sure no one is actually aware of the details.

Oof. It's required a contingent of 1500 Guardsmen to pacify & maintain order in Memphis.
Granted, Memphis was much scarier on a day-to-basis than Milan - but, the danger there was chronic, ubiquitous gang violence. Easier to address piecemeal. Milan is experiencing a barking mad Islamic mob.
I sincerely hope 500 troops is enough, but I have doubts.

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

Italy's PM Georgia Meloni is deploying 500 soldiers to Milan
Il Post hasn’t gone beyond calling this “unprecedented” (un’anomalia italiana)… yet. But she’s really only doing it, they imply, because “Matteo Perego, sottosegretario alla Difesa e deputato di Forza Italia” is likely to be running for mayor of Milan (“sindaco di Milano”).
“Impiegare 500 soldati a Milano è insomma una scelta dettata almeno in parte da logiche propagandistiche…”
Placing 500 soldiers in Milan is, therefore, a choice dictated at least in part by the propaganda benefits…

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

The single fact that seemed to most motivate every lady I've talked to about this case is that Jane Hoe was still eager to go to the halloween party and only got hostile after she was uninvited.
Jane Hoe: "I WAS GANG-RAPED IN THAT FRAT HOUSE OF HORRORS!"
Also Jane Hoe: "I can't wait to go back for the halloween party!"
It's a simple but blockbuster fact that anyone with a functioning brain can easily understand.

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

Rape is good when our allies do it is a take that is not a surprising commie position.

Feminists: Rape Is a Weapon of White Supremacy
Also Feminists: If Our Revolutionary Islamic Brothers Threaten to Rape Women, That's Just "Collateral Damage" In the Cause of Socialist Justice
You only think that those two things contradict each other, because you are a reasonable Western human being with understanding of logic.
Rape is not forcible sexual interaction with an unwilling target (they way normal people define it) - rape is the expression of power by someone powerful. White men are powerful, therefore any sexual interaction they have is an expression of that power, which is why all white men are rapists.
Brown men are not powerful, because they are not white, therefore any sexual interaction they engage in cannot be rape, because you cannot express power you don't have.
It's Wonderland logic.
As Humpty Dumpty said "Words mean what I say them to mean."

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

Thankful I saw France several times before the barbarian invasions. President Trump said he told them 10yrs ago to close the borders, mais non.
Tourism in France (2025) was 77.5 Billion Euros (or $91.5 Billion dollars). The riot/burn/rape parades will reduce this revenue in an already dying economy. Public debt is 3.6 Trillion Euros. Je suis desole.
You were warned. Macron is useless in stopping the tsunami. He could have a decade ago.

Rape was always a weapon for the fascist left (which includes Muslims).

The left also uses rape against their political enemies, in the form of baseless accusations of rape against anyone they seek to discredit or get rid of. It's almost always white men who trend right, or at least the left thinks they are and do.

The TNG is still in place to maintain order, but yeah - the initial operation only took a few weeks to force the gangs behind closed doors, and out of the streets.
And it's not just the generalized mayhem that's being rolled back. All crime in the city has cratered. There's a lot of work left to do in Memphis, but the troops made a huge difference, very fast, and with almost no bloodshed.
I hope people who live there take note of how easy this was for a small group of men who weren't on gang payrolls to achieve, and work on clearing out their PD.

The Left use buzzwords and buzz phrases because it works on the vast majority of people. They piggyback off of horrors like rape, nazism, slavery because it works. Just the mention if the word. Same with other loaded terms like "mother" or innocuous ones like "Maryland" or friendly ones like "affordability".
The only reason we have had a snow leopard's chance in hell is because Trump does it too and he's as good as they are if not better. His primary advantage is he does it with the truth to back it up.
But when we go back to "Republicans" and their fucking spineless soulless PowerPoint presentations intended to inform and "educate", we go right the fuck back to the wilderness. Genuine facts and truth are not how non-connected people absorb information and form opinions.

The sweet spot: smart enough to absorb a complex ideological framework, to deploy its vocabulary with confidence, to feel the social rewards of appearing sophisticated – but not quite sharp enough to interrogate the framework itself. Enough horsepower to run the program. Not enough to question who wrote it... And the specimen is typically convinced – this is crucial – that it is among the most independent thinkers in the room.

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

Ellipsis, in social sciences there has long been the idea that the masses are asses essentially and driven easily by propaganda. The other strain of thought is by a pollster named Daniel Yankelovich.
His masterpiece with considerable theory and developed through empirical evidence is Coming to Public Judgment.
I encourage anyone really interested in public opinion and policy formation to read it. Book is from the 90's before Marxists completed their long march through institutions.
Having done published research on how Scotus is affected by public opinion over time on its cert agenda, it is both theoretically and empirically sound to me. And having a past in practical politics, I saw what Yankelovich was discussing in real time with events.

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

We can draft in his wake and be thankful for Elon and Twitter for the next five years or so but when the Left gets in they will clamp it all down and restrict everything to the point where it stops mattering what people know and don't know. But feelings will still be there.

Ellipsis, in social sciences there has long been the idea that the masses are asses essentially and driven easily by propaganda. The other strain of thought is by a pollster named Daniel Yankelovich.
His masterpiece with considerable theory and developed through empirical evidence is Coming to Public Judgment.
I encourage anyone really interested in public opinion and policy formation to read it. Book is from the 90's before Marxists completed their long march through institutions.
Having done published research on how Scotus is affected by public opinion over time on its cert agenda, it is both theoretically and empirically sound to me. And having a past in practical politics, I saw what Yankelovich was discussing in real time with events.

They use rape themselves to brutalize and oppress women and girls. Gotta keep the bitches in line, lest they get uppity and start to question authority.
The left also uses rape against their political enemies, in the form of baseless accusations of rape against anyone they seek to discredit or get rid of. It's almost always white men who trend right, or at least the left thinks they are and do.

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

I don't think it does work long term. That is the reason for constant ops. As each one fails, the Dems have to restart the hysteria machine and they burn credibility over and over again doing that when the truth eventually comes out. The media is down in the toilet now for persuasion with only Democrats halfway relying on it being truthful.
Democrats are like that guy who lost his short term memory. He's always just awakening, and never remembers what he learned from the last lunacy he endorsed. He only remembers things that happened long ago, like that time he said the right things in college and got laid as a result.

Going through it made me think of Jesus, and of why Satan is called The Accuser. I wouldn't wish being falsely accused on my worst enemy. I might on a Democrat though.

The idea is hilarious that these riots in France and Italy are over class size.
Wut?
Maybe lost in translation that the riots are about the Ummah after the invasion, the conquer phase begins.
The elites and the bourgeois vs the invading barbarians. Choose one. Without the military on the ground the barbarians win.
You will bow down to Mecca or die, Europe, with your open borders.
I assume this won't happen here in my lifetime, but I will die.

Ugly comment:
Why are muslim women not offended or upset about rape?
Because they've all been so mutilated, all nerve endings down there have been destroyed--so it doesn't hurt them.
It's just some dude laying on top of them for all they feel down there.

Why do all muslim men rape?
Because that's the only type of sex they know.
There is no affection or mutual satisfaction, they all just ram their dick into any hole they can until they cum.

Just do not forget we are where we are mostly because of the foundation Trump laid. This is not to take away from anyone else who has put it on the line or fought, but Trump is the one who forced the media to pick a side rather than pretend to be objective.
He did the same with the GOP and what was pretending to be it.

I think what Trump is doing is promising to Give Sovereignty Back. This is what he did in supporting Argentina, what he is attempting in Venezuela, what he is doing with constitutional and voting issues here in the States, what he is doing in Memphis and DC.
I see him trying to break the power that the Rentiers have over the world, the ones who stand between doing things and profiting things, and insist that they be paid to be allowed to do it.
I hope he succeeds.

I have noted a few times that there is little worse in life than being falsely accused. Not just of rape but of anything. Until you go through it you just have no idea what I even mean by this. Which will sound weird but it's true.
Going through it made me think of Jesus, and of why Satan is called The Accuser. I wouldn't wish being falsely accused on my worst enemy. I might on a Democrat though.

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

Romney is invested literally in the Ukraine. His son Tagg and his hedge fund have investments there and Romney rejoined the hedge fund as a manager post senatorial career and his foreign policy advisor and person friend Cofer Black are his ties to Ukraine skim. McCains had similar issues via their not for profit Institute plus involvement in the Russia Russia conspiracy.

The Cornell situation bugs me in part for this very reason, the lefties in charge there issue pamphlets telling students to experiment with every form of sex short of snuff films, and then when someone has a bad experience, the harridan lectures start up.

Title IX was passed into law in 1972.
It took til 2006 and the Duke rape case to bring it to the forefront of news of college rape accusations.
I remember because I had two sons in universities and a couple of years prior read stories of boys being expelled for false rape charges. Their stories not heard by the Title IX committees on campus. Consensual texts of sex (often by the girl to the boy for sex) were not recognized to support the boy's stories.
The mere fact of underage drinking doomed these boys to be expelled and register as sex deviants. All because of a girl's vengeance of seeking sex without a relationship. I do hope, after thousands of $ and a return to court, they got their lives back.
Using Title IX for revenge is the crowning point of a woman scorned in universities...along with true rape.

While I was waiting for an hour in line to vote, there was this gray-haired lady (not in line) holding a sign asking Republicans to think hard about trans rights before voting. A NY accent, so a transplant (sic). She loudly lamented "What happened to the Republican Party? They used to be reasonable, with politicians like Nelson Rockefeller and Jacob Javits (blah blah blah)". The line was mostly Dem retirees, and they all clucked and nodded in agreement.
Not many young people in line, though, and by young, I mean under 50.

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

Part of the reason blue states are blue is because the GOP in that state doesn't function as an opposition political party. It functions as a grifting machine and full-employment act for lazy, feckless, otherwise unemployable retards.
Ciattarelli would have beaten the loathsome Sherill in 2024 had there been a functioning GOP in NJ. Hell, he might have beaten Potatohead Murphy in 2021 if there was.
Likewise, Hochul would be toast in November if NY had a functioning GOP party.
We endlessly make fun of how the Dems keeping hoping and trying to turn the reddest red states blue. But they keep at it, every time. I wish we had a GOP that did the same in blue states.

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

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

I was just thinking this morning nothing could be worse than Pennsylvania. However, since the experience you wrote above is identical for me, I suspect we simply take our political stances from both NJ and VA.

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

I can speak from the farthest regions of NY state. Useless would be an improvement over here. Usually we just get less competent, less connected crooks than the Ds.
We have a natural wonder of the world and a crazy amount of hydro power and natural gas available. We have one of the biggest ports in the country and access to the great lakes' 35 million people. Throw in the media center of nyc and Wall Street and the whole state should be wearing Tiffany cufflinks in our morning jackets at brunch.
Instead, we get rust belt decay and corpse camped by regulation. The primary obstacle to general prosperity is the state government.

From what I did for years, I knew a bunch of political consultants, taught some of them as undergrads, and had a colleague that got out of the business because it was so rotten.
It is driven by money, not ideology nor even party loyalty and has been for decades in the GOP--same handler types going way back and those handlers will turn and stab the candidate in the back in a trice if they view them as unacceptable. See Trump, See Reagan, Goldwater, Taft, even Landon.
Trump learned this in Trump II--staffing itself is politics.

Riyadh did not provide further details on the acts the two Bangladeshi nationals allegedly committed or whether they had legal representation in the Gulf kingdom, according to local media reports.

Then the tide recedes day by day. Leaners claiming they are independent but are in fact less likely to vote in every election are going to be the 'swing' version this election that either show up or don't vote depending on party success in mobilization.
Base voters are going to vote and the endless stupid demoralization polling/prediction markets don't seem to be affecting GOP base voting turnout at all. Media has become largely ignored by such voters now.

I know New Jersey is bad but I have to say that the Republican Party here in the Soviet of Washington has been compliant and utterly corrupted by stupidity and surviving on the scant bones allowed. The I-5 corridor, as in Oregon and California wags the dog. All three states are schizophrenic in make up and attitude. The Cascades and Sierra's represent two different places. It may in fact be too late to save all three. Gerrymandered districts, media influence and, as is showing up in Montana as well, the people who voted for decline and destruction are fleeing to areas where they continue to vote for decline.

70 As an aside, the deluge of actblue fundraising ads in my media feeds shut off like a faucet a day or two ago. I had 90% from Beato Talarico, several from Bear Claw Vindman's twin running in FL. I've never set foot in FL. Even SCOAMF ximself made a few appearances. The only person running against Trump is Kathy Holchul. Everybody else is using "Big money Billionaires" for the boogieman.

I used to get a lot of that crap but refuse to donate money--I will donate time to candidates I like going door to door or nowadays, driving someone who does. Don't get those calls and solicitations anymore.

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

Speaking of local elections I am amused in one near me. The current state Rep is a republican. He has a job in addition to being state rep.
So the challenger is a young Dem is running on a platform of "well the Republican guy isn't 100% committed, why he doesn't go to every single meeting on the committees he is on, so let's fire him for being lazy!"
But here is the funny thing, the challenger is in some local office currently and admitted in one interview he didn't go to most of their committee meetings because, well, they don't really matter. This has become the item that every Republican social media post/ad I see focuses on.
Now the Dem alternates ads and social media with pleas to stop mud slinging and...calling for the incumbent to be defeated because he didn't show up to all his committee meetings.

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

Amazingly, as much as the left hates Trump himself, I sense little enthusiasm for the election among the Democrats. Maybe it's their incredibly bad slate of candidates, maybe it's the USAID funding cutoff, I do not know, but even in Ohio (where Brown is supposedly running ahead of Husted) I see very few signs and hear zero conversation.

72 I know New Jersey is bad but I have to say that the Republican Party here in the Soviet of Washington has been compliant and utterly corrupted by stupidity and surviving on the scant bones allowed. The I-5 corridor, as in Oregon and California wags the dog. All three states are schizophrenic in make up and attitude. The Cascades and Sierra's represent two different places. It may in fact be too late to save all three. Gerrymandered districts, media influence and, as is showing up in Montana as well, the people who voted for decline and destruction are fleeing to areas where they continue to vote for decline.

The South had its GOP patronage parties during the era of Democrat rule where the party organization just existed to make money from candidates, share in federal patronage, and otherwise spend its time in a circular firing squad over who got to be head cheese the organization for fun and profit.
Pattern is probably reasserting itself in WA.

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

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

PA has layers of issues. Including perhaps the most corrupt and machine-ish structure of local government (LA and Cook County are impressed). Of course the enormous fraud machine of Philadelphia is key for state-wide stuff.
Years back I was adjacent to but not involved in a state-wide campaign. A prominent Dem political consultant was the campaign adviser - the candidate was one of a tiny handful of GOP candidates that this guy would work for.
After a big strategy meeting, I'm told by a participant that one of the basic planning factors was estimating the fake vote total out of Philly. Just a routine consideration. Actual voter participation rates and expectations were no part of it.
Pathetic, Haiti- or Belarus-level election conditions.

If, if, if, the NJ GOP became a viable political force, I absolutely guarantee that the conn self-servo hive podcast universe would start chumming for clicks by singing their RINO RINO RINO song. Not to mention, the inevitable "weak one the 2nd Amendment" chant.

I am a registered Republican who has voted in every single general election of my adult life
I am too, except for the one time, because I worked in one county but had my permanent residence in another (that was Demonratic), I said jury duty that year would be a burden and without warning I was disenfranchised, only to magically be put back on the rolls before I could file a complaint with the state for disenfranchisement. Wasn't able to vote that cycle.

36. So, instead of GOTV which involves doing what the base voters want, you get mailers, robocalls, crappy ads, crappy media relations, etc.
Oh, I hear you, Whig.
However, aside from lots of TV ads covering central and SE Pennsylvania and supporting Bernie's people, there's nothing. Not a mailer, a robocall, nothing!

Delco GOP's Minority Representation Referendum Falls Short

The collectors had until Tuesday to garner the thousands of signatures needed. Officials did not say how far short the effort fell.
Delaware County Democratic Committee Chair Cheryl Grosso offered her response to the referendum defeat.

It's the voters that are the problem. As Trump's existence redundantly demonstrates, if the voters insist on something, they'll get it...

Well, they got Trump. They didn't get Trumpism.
The problem is that only Democrats get what they vote for. They put Obama in, they got Pelosi forcing a midnight, party-line vote for Obamacare.
We put Trump in during '16 and '24, and got the GOP stonewalling his signature legislation along with the rest of his agenda, both times.

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

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

Sad comments about the NJ GOP. My son and daughter-in-law live there. They can't wait to retire and get the hell out of Dodge, where they won't pay tens of thousands of dollars a year in real estate tax on a pretty normal middle class house. I think they are thinking Tennessee or South Carolina, but they are open to other low-tax alternatives.

One person was registered under one name...no surname. Another, the registered person's "son" said they didn't live there any longer (in rest home). So many folks on that voter roll with info that was suspicious. BTW, almost all those over 115 were registered (D)...and my county has greater than a 100% registration rate too! Amazing! Math Defying!

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

129 Don't know that NJ has ever been considered a Republican state, at least in my lifetime. Virginia, however, is/was supposed to be a red state- southern, conservative, etc. Given those advantages, the GOP in Virginia should have been able to hold it. Alas, they are as worthless as tits on a tomcat, as my late mother would say.

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

No it's obviously the voters. The voters can punish the GOP any time/way they choose. They put Trump in over the inertia and opposition of the GOPe and a large minority of other voters.
Yet Trump +Big districts today have some competitive House races. Why? "Oh people don't show up for mid-terms". The voters don't show up. They'll do the gauche and deplorable thing of putting the coarse Queens real estate guy in the WH, but not show up to try and make sure his policies they like are implemented.
The voters. Overall. The ossified unresponsive inertia of the 2-party "system" indeed is a huge obstacle. But the only corpse twitches we've seen as the nation slides down the hill were 2010 and the Trump elections.
2010 was an earthquake the GOP successfully, in effect, erased. Well if voters were serious, they'd keep at it until something changed.

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

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

Don't even talk to me about New Jersey. I live in Broward County, Florida a solid Blue county in solid red Florida. I was a member of the Broward County Republican Executive Committee...until I wasn't. I quit in total disgust. Oh they talked a great game but when they had a chance to oust Moskowitz from the 23rd District when he was actually vulnerable, the really solid Republican candidate could have won with just a couple of thousand dollars infusion into the campaign. Nope, since it was perceived as too Blue to win the race, they refused to spend a dime. Moskowitz won of course. The money could have put our guy over the top. Hopefully with the DeSantis redistricting, we now are in the 22nd district and have a good shot of beating a pathetic Democrat and where there is no incumbent. The district spreads from Ft, Lauderdale all the way over to Naples so it looks like a solid red district that should overcome the Blues in Broward but never underestimate the GOPe's ability to screw it up.

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

Former DOD who have expertise in "countering authoritarianism abroad". What a farce. It is rarely the job of DOD to be involved in election integrity mechanics, if ever.
And of course there's not a single example where federal behavior could be more lawless or inappropriate than the farcical insecure elections in so many Dem states.
And everything would be done via the courts, where DOD dorks would have zero experience or expertise.
Just another head-shaking example of how dumbed-down beyond recognition the whole country is. Like "Russian collusion" or "hallmarks of Russian disinformation", this crap could only have purchase with an incredibly unworldly and ignorant public.

To CBD's point, my NJ district is about to send an actual al Qaeda member to Congress, with little notice from the "news media". Adam Hamawy, a US Army veteran who served as a "combat doctor" in Gaza and testified as a character witness for the Blind Sheik during his trial for trying to blow the World Trade Center is going to replace the current machine representative in Washington, Bonnie Watson Coleman.
The GOP barely mounted even a token effort to run against this evil dude.

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

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

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

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

Hate does not really capture it. It is delusional insanity from stewing in all the anti-Trump derangement 24/7 and swallowing it whole, without question. It is a first hand reminder just how deranged the Dems have become. They must be defeated.

Purity spirals tend to exist along with Motte and Bailey arguments online. Words are cheap as is posing and that goes as much on the right as left online.
I was a mod and prominent commenter on a 2A website when I was involved in 2A activism at the state and local level. Got burned out by the true believers that would wave the 2A wording around and claim anyone that did not agree to felons being able to buy machine guns after they left prison was a sell out. Similar true believers on local zoning and development issues I worked with. Some, my property is whatever I want to do with it types, some that wanted no development at all because they wanted the landowner to essentially provide the land for free for others to use.

231 No. The feeble, desultory pretense of "trying" to pass the bill (while badmouthing it the whole time, of course) was the failure theater.
I wanted to see signature legislation passed by hook or crook - the Jarrett and Pelosi and Schumer way. Not 2021 Schumer. The Obama-era Schumer, when Democrats fundamentally transformed all this shit in the first place.

He’s thin, but still muscular and has that look of a man who didn’t sit at a desk all day, but rather worked manual labor. He supported his family and no one went hungry, but they didn’t vacation to the beach every year. He was stern with his children, but never struck them. His whole body has earned the rest he will soon be blessed with.

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

Not something I would hang. It's a little too close to the reality of a man aging to be comfortable for a guy well over 29. But the accuracy of the physique, the bent posture and the skin tones speak of a huge talent. The emotional impact of a man, previously tall and muscular, surrendering to loss and age is unavoidable.
It reminds me of Rodin's sculpture The Old Courtesan (La Belle qui fut heaulmière).

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

At the age of 30, Ažbe founded his own school of painting in Munich that became a popular attraction for Eastern European students.

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

France might finally, finally, be electing one of the Le Pen ladies after electing socialist numbskulls. We will see if the riots show a turning point or if France just folds.

Sociopathy is one trait that close to being shared by both sexes but it manifests differently in female sociopaths than males.
And you will see more sociopaths in media, politics, and CEO types as well as criminals.

The Magician's Nephew movie is troubled, but in the can and has a release date in the doldrums of February. Not Christmas, when it should have been. This should be pro Christian, family friendly fare that racks up hundreds of millions at the holidays. Not some glam rock, niche pet project. Greta should never have been picked for it.
The irony Is not lost on anyone who has read The Last Battle that the end comes when a donkey puts on a lion skin suit and parades around as a fake lion. A gender bending fake Aslan by a non Christian was always going to be a tough sell. But destroying the eagle and child in the trailer, and resetting it to the 50s instead of keeping it in a timeline where WW2 bombings of London happen, was just bizarre choices.

I think though the Overton window on Muslims in Euroland is moving on policy options but the question is will it move enough in time to do something before a disaster.

The sixties broke the artistic community and if you look, literature, art, theater, architecture, etc. have all ran downhill since then and gotten progressively uglier, primitive, and vile.
In part because the USSR sent billions of dollars to the US to promote ugly, primitive art, as proven in the Venona intercepts. They couldn't stand that we had really neat design and architecture in the 20s and 30s (Beaux-Arts, Art Deco, Art Moderne, Streamline Moderne) and they have stuff that looked like the Obama library.

They've conquered it fair and square, and they'll have to be militarily defeated and removed.

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

This furry troon died because he taunted a homeless guy who threatened him. He claimed the guy was “too old” to do anything, and then got stabbed to death.
Most people that have real world experience know that homeless people are mostly brainfucked wildcards and should be avoided. They’ll kill eachother over a leftover fentanyl foil if they have to.

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

The Morning Report — 10/20 /26
There are two ways of looking at the midterms, now less than three weeks away. One is as a simple referendum on the issues and politicians of the day. The other involves a far deeper conflict of visions (as Thomas Sowell puts it): socialism versus capitalism, intrusive versus limited government, and the destruction of time-honored institutions and traditions versus their preservation and renewal. Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism. The new Islamist-allied socialist Democrat Party is confident, largely because the party holding the White House has increased its share of House seats in a midterm election only three times since 1900. Each of those exceptions arose under unusual circumstances. . . . . .Are they demonizing the majority of the American people in the manner of Zohran Mamdani’s housing czar, Cea Weaver, who declared that homeownership is “a weapon of white supremacy”? Or like Melat Kiros, who argues that “We were never really going to be able to tackle white supremacy in the way that we need to without reparations”? Could anyone imagine Republican or conservative candidates apologizing for terrorism in the manner of marquee Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who responded to a cowardly Islamist attack on a synagogue with “Hurt people do hurt people”? In short, treat this midterm election as the deep choice that it is.That is just a taste, and a very bitter one (like bitter almonds IYKWIMAITYD) from our esteemed friend Prof. Victor Davis Hanson who goes into much more disturbing detail of just what's at stake two weeks from now. And the equally eloquent and cromulent Glenn H Reynolds goes off on this harridan Elissa Slotkin.
Democrats speak with forked tongue. On Sunday, former President Barack Obama denounced the Trump administration’s investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar for immigration fraud as un-American. In America, we don’t go after our political opponents, he said. This from the man who sent his Internal Revenue Service after Tea Party protesters, and whose running mate, after he became president, treated traditional Catholics, COVID-vaccine skeptics and parents who spoke out at school board meetings as potential terrorists. Not to mention raiding Donald Trump’s home and sending FBI agents to rifle through Melania’s underwear. . . . . . Biden’s team went after COVID-vaccine skeptics and critics of trans policy. Slotkin just wants to scare young people away from being conservatives. The goal seems to be something like Britain — a society where disagreeing with the government on social media gets you a visit from police, and possibly a jail term, just for stating a contrary opinion. As The Post’s Karol Markowitz put it, “They told me the US was heading toward fascism and they were right.” Ironically, Slotkin is an alumna of the Central Intelligence Agency, where the motto “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free” is carved into the wall. It is a core American belief that you don’t learn the truth through censorship and intimidation. You learn the truth through free and open debate and competition in the marketplace of ideas. One would think a CIA alumna would understand, and support, these American principles. Instead she’s talking like a thug.Well this is the same CIA that somehow hired John Brennan, a Gus Hall-Angela Davis voting communist who not surprisingly became Obama's CIA chief and who no or shockingly few Republicans opposed (or am I misremembering?). Reynolds continues...
But Slotkin represents the kind of thinking that is bringing America closer to civil disorder, if not outright civil war. For over two centuries, America managed to engage in a peaceful transfer of power without the outgoing parties having to protect themselves against political prosecutions by the incoming party. The other way is dangerous. . . the increasing politicization of the justice system and the creation of what were fundamentally political crimes and prosecutions. We warned this practice would destroy faith in both the political and the justice system. Things have only gotten worse since. Sen. Slotkin’s speech amplifies the problem. Treating political opposition as a crime is wrong. It’s unAmerican. And it’s dangerous.Well, that's strong language, especially from someone I respect, but that brings me to someone that I'm not so confident in nor respectful of to say the least who had this to say...
Marsha Blackburn: The Radical Left Wants Tennessee. They’ll Have To Go Through Me.. .Socialism stops at the Tennessee line.While Blackburn yammers on about voting, the question was and is at what point will voting simply not matter? whether the Democrats do as they've always done by stealing elections or as we see in France and as we saw here in 2020 as well as several other times in our recent past riot and burn cities to the ground, on top of outright assassinating their political enemies? When what Slotkin and her ilk are hot and horny for fails, then violence is their only option? And so, Marsha Blackburn and all of us the question is "How many divisions do they and more crucially WE have?! I'd like to end on a more humorous note as commenter Spamf Roming noted my reference to the classic movie "Casablanca" was totally wrong:
Bogey didn't kiss Elsa at the station. She sent a note and stood him up. He didn't kiss her at the airport, but sent her off with her husband.
Considering I must've seen the flick at least a couple dozen or more times and studied it as a screenwriter, that is an embarrassing error. My only defense is I must've been channeling something else that riffed off of that scene. On that note I bid you all to, despite the above and all the rest of the news,have a good day.

I view it this way: from a legislative standpoint, we are living through a straight-up note for note cover of 2017-2021. Which means these midterms are of no importance whatsoever - all that changes with a Democrat win is more stupid impeachment theater, and perhaps some vetos. The GOP flatly refuses to move Trump's agenda, and he'll have to govern by executive order with "either" Party running committees.

Ironically, Slotkin is an alumna of the Central Intelligence Agency, where the motto “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free” is carved into the wall.
Double irony: The motto which they looted from John 8:32 in the KJV. They have hijacked and perverted the words of Jesus Christ by changing "truth" to mean "contemporary politically expedient narrative". Which is especially ironic because the audience of that time also thought "freedom" was social and political liberty, and "truth" was simply facts and secret information. Jesus explicitly dealt with that misconception because He meant "truth" as the identity of Jesus, the reality of mankind's condition and God's Holy revelation. Freedom is breaking the bondage of sin and spiritual blindness.
The CIA, like Satan, has twisted those words so that "truth" = "lies" and "freedom" = "tyranny".

Speaking of VA, vote down Amendments 1, 2, and 3. The Catholic Churches here have started mailing personal postcards to all Catholics to vote down 1 and 2 (they are staying silent on 3). Even if all the candidate races are losers, get out to vote to vote down the amendments.
Yes, Amendments 1 and 2 are a grave enough moral concern that the Church is putting their money and personnel where their mouth is, and has been doing it since these amendments got on the ballot.
1 is unlimited abortion for all ages at all times
2 is codifying gender ideology into the VA constitution through the guise of gay marriage

I'm afraid this is my gut feeling. The Communists know this is their shot to stop Trump, and make their play for full-on takeover. They're not going to let the chance go by without pulling out every dirty trick imaginable. They know what's at stake. And they're foaming rabid to start their show trials and all that that implies.

Sure, it's something that needs to be done (but never will). But it would behoove her and every other Republican running to show the Democrats for the extremist Communists they are, and where we are headed. They are rife with their own political words showing just exactly who they are. USE THEM!

Re: Alberta. The vote was to start the process that would end with another vote in a couple years to actually separate. Yes got 25%, give or take a percentage point when all the counting is done. I am not surprised.
To be honest, as much as people here and on other sites think Alberta is a bastion of conservatism, people like our Alberta Oil Peon are a shrinking minority. Most "conservatives" would be at best moderate Republicans. If Alberta became a state, you'd see Democrats being elected to Congress. And 84% of Albertans get some form of government payouts. As well, lots of immigration and the majority of the population lives in Edmonton (government/university town) and Calgary and their suburbs.
Speaking of immigration, there were 10 ballot questions, 9 of which were non-binding but were essentially a referendum on various subjects relating to Alberta's relationship with Canada. What's been made clear by those is that there is a big interest in having a say on which immigrants are allowed to come to Alberta, which new residents should immediately qualify for social assistance vs. those who should wait, and strengthening Alberta's ability to govern itself.

Fed budget will skyrocket
News Flash: The budget has always grown, even under Trump. Even including the special TARP, Covid Spending Sweepstakes and Inflation Reduction Act, Trump's budgets blow those away in spending. Even after DOGE.
Trump spends YUUUGE money, regardless of Party in the Legislative branch.
So discard the idea that the vote going one way or the other this Election Season has any bearing on spending. For example if Screwtape were to somehow overcome Paxton, then Screwtape could blue slip any Trump appointed judge in Texas so the people of Texas would suffer on shit judges who get their judicial inspiration from demons.
It will be impeachment theater. It will be obstacles at every measure. It will be ludicrous spending bills and over-the-top fucked up regulations and sanctions against Israel.
We might as well just get the shooting war started because the Trump administration will revert to Trump 1.0 - simply dodging prison. Expect much of the appointees to leave to protect what remains of their lives.

That is how women are, they aren't wired like men to deal with a violent world; they have lived under the Women Are Wonderful social protective shield and feel like they will never experience the violent consequences of their bullshit.

There are Rabbis who consider Eve eating the forbidden fruit and speculate that she likened Adam as the favorite son of a powerful, wealthy oligarch and Adam was the forever recipient of his father's benevolence and never would have to work or be challenged—that was Adam in the Garden.
So the Serpent gave her plan to test and see if Adam could stand on his own two feet and be his own man, so she ate the fruit and made sure he did to so that God would cast them out of the Garden and Adam could prove that he is the man that Eve could respect.

Main Take Away: Women will do stupid and evil shit just so that they can see what Men will do.
There are Rabbis who consider Eve eating the forbidden fruit and speculate that she likened Adam as the favorite son of a powerful, wealthy oligarch and Adam was the forever recipient of his father's benevolence and never would have to work or be challenged—that was Adam in the Garden.
So the Serpent gave her plan to test and see if Adam could stand on his own two feet and be his own man, so she ate the fruit and made sure he did to so that God would cast them out of the Garden and Adam could prove that he is the man that Eve could respect.
Notice that part of the curse is that women will not respect their husbands.

We have 10x the population of Canada. Rough math says that the effects of a trade war with reciprocal 'tit for tat' tariffs will hit your average Canadian 10x that of an American.
This tells me that Carney doesn't have the best interests of the Canadian people in mind.
It will take awhile before this sinks in with the Canadian public.

After the trade talks collapsed in the summer Carney literally said that Canadians will have to endure pain but it will be worth it to win the war with the US.
They'll get an agreement once the Liberals' polling numbers come down and they start losing byelections to replace resigning/dying MPs.

Report: Thousands of new docs point to a diabolical CIA color revolution after midterms…
DataRepublican says she’s got her hands on thousands of transcripts and hundreds of recordings that point to an elaborate, coordinated effort to provoke a constitutional crisis right after the 2026 midterms.
Basically, this would be a CIA-style color revolution on our own soil, in real time.
From DR’s reporting, the goal is to create enough confrontation and unrest that President Trump is forced to invoke the Insurrection Act, then use his response to undermine the legitimacy of the federal government and shift political authority to Dem governors.

There were 9 initiatives on the Alberta ballot not related to separation, but more about the social programs and political dynamics of the state. Many were conservative in nature. 8 of the 9 passed.
Not entirely a loss for them.

They were non-binding, but I guarantee the Alberta government has bills ready to roll in the next legislative session to kickstart at least some of the approved ones. Ironically, some of it is stuff that Quebec is allowed to get away with, and Alberta will probably have to fight in the courts when they try it.

Yes, Trump spends it on DOW
At this point, it is profoundly expensive rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Why spend a trillion dollars annually for the ability to bomb some shithole nation for no real practical value and allow the nation to crumble completely from within by the Communists who have taken over?
Its like taking a termite infested house, a year or two away from completely collapse, and sprucing up the yard and fixing the chimney.

Not true, but they had at least 80% voter turnout between yesterday and absentee/early ballots. What will be interesting to see is how many people voted on the separation question and didn't bother with the rest of the questions.

Watching the last few months, where the western world was completely unable to react to global events and defend their own shipping lanes in contrast to the US just bitch slapping major regional players with little loss of life and equipment and deciding, "We don't need to be able to project power better than the rest of the world. There's no need," is quite the take.
Demanding that the US not be the hegemon is demanding regional hegemons competing with each other.
It's demanding the rise of Carthage against Rome as being preferable to the Pax Romana. It's demanding more warfare worldwide as more players are even in capacity and can choose to fight.
The reason we had the Pax Americana was because of our massive military superiority over the rest of the world. Just because our leadership decided to squander it with the end of the Cold War doesn't negate the positive effects of being the sole superpower.

It's looking increasingly like Boomer libs thought early voting was a race to vote first and came out to vote early in early voting as fast as possible in pretty much every state.
Their leads are eroding faster and faster.
And months of talking up Talarico in TX just convinced Republicans in the state to take early voting seriously, too. North Dallas (heavily white) is turning out. South Dallas (heavily black) is not.

I always point out the muslims enslaved more people in history than America did, and still to this day enslaves people. The young lefties of my acquaintance think I am bullshitting them, and then I further point out the very first foreign war America ever engaged in was to free Christian slaves from muslim captors. They hate that.

It's looking increasingly like Boomer libs thought early voting was a race to vote first and came out to vote early in early voting as fast as possible in pretty much every state.
Their leads are eroding faster and faster.
And months of talking up Talarico in TX just convinced Republicans in the state to take early voting seriously, too. North Dallas (heavily white) is turning out. South Dallas (heavily black) is not.

"We don't need to be able to project power better than the rest of the world. There's no need," is quite the take.
If the argument was simply "Why do we have a military" full stop, no context and that statement was hermetically sealed in a black bag stored in an under ground bunker, then your argument is sensible.
But it was packaged with when the US is one election away from being a Communist shithole or Islamic Caliphate. That eight hundred pound gorilla still needs your attention.
What good does projecting military power upon whoever Babylon DC feels a need to flex on, when the hosting nation can't even slay its domestic dragons which are of magnitudes greater threat than what Iran is doing to the SoH?

One is as a simple referendum on the issues and politicians of the day. The other involves a far deeper conflict of visions (as Thomas Sowell puts it): socialism versus capitalism, intrusive versus limited government, and the destruction of time-honored institutions and traditions versus their preservation and renewal.
====================
It is far simpler an election than all that for many. IMO, voters are asking themselves if they are better off than they were under Biden. Democrats scare voters, because they are all pretty much insane, but the GOP still has to make a positive case.

I have made few predictions this election season if any.
But the one I am sticking with is that Sayed is the lynchpin of the DNC-DSA op and therefore regardless of any other outcome anywhere else, will be willed into office.
And right now that prediction looks dead wrong. I'm still sticking with it.

That's the lesson the Communist Chinese took.
But like politics, military strength is downstream from culture, which is why they're finding out that their numbers are built on a corrupt foundation that can't fight.

Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism.
-----
This is the oldest free market system in the world. The UK succumbed to socialism 50 years ago, leaving us as the grand old dame of capitalism.
The older & perennially more powerful of the two American parties became rabid socialists right around the same time.
For people my age, this is no rarity. Every election of my lifetime has been a battle of leftist authoritarianism against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism. It's literally all I've ever known.

The Trump 2.0 administration has jailed and prosecuted hundreds of antia, getting landmark convictions and sentences of dozens of years per person in cased like the Texas antifa case where the 9 person cell tried to assassinate a cop.
The kid who just handed out leaflets got 30 years because he was part of the conspiracy.
There have been zero riots beyond lib boomers holding up hand-made No Kings signs.
Deportations are at historic highs. Rents are down because the deportations are so much.
But we shouldn't have a military because nothing is happening on the home front.

I asked whether showing - not going into the ring but all the setting up - would put her at greater risk. Conclusion of discussion: if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. May as well have it happen doing something you enjoy.

My other prediction is that the 2028 D nominee will not be a woman and definitely won't be Harris.
The operation against women this year appears designed to convince even liberal fucktard women that women can't be trusted in high leadership and/or can't win. It's like they want to get their side pregnant with the idea that a man is required for the next phase.
If Harris is the nominee my secondary prediction is that's because the whole thing is sewn up tight and she will be implanted in office. AOC could win a legitimate election against a real opponent - I don't think Harris can. Otherwise if the GE is going to be a genuine contest, they will be nominating a man.

My father was from a fishing village in Cork Ireland.
In the early 1600s, the English took over after a three-year siege of the local castle lorded over by a distant ancestor of mine. They installed loyal Protestants to take over all the good concessions including fishing and the occassional opportunistic piracy.
My peeps dropped a dime on this, and the Barbary pirates arrived one day and took hundreds of the Protestants away to galleys and brothels. It was the last large operation by the Barbaries in the British Isles.
There's a very nice pub in town called the Algiers Inn.

I don't think so. The problem Democrats have is that for years they have relied on identity politics to keep their various constituencies happy. There was always some friction because not all the groups are simpatico on all positions and the grievance pyramid had to be respected.
Bringing in Muslim candidates into a statewide race in a place like Michigan is exposing those fractures. As the Abdul staffer was caught yesterday saying on undercover video, Abdul can't condemn the Muslim Brotherhood because he will lose their support. He also can't pretend that their isn't huge friction between the black and Muslim communities and that is hurting Abdul in places like Detroit.
I think Rogers wins and might not even be that close.

Like I said, my Sayed prediction looks pretty bad right now. I just don't see the point of it if not to get him into office.

"The problem Democrats have is that for years they have relied on identity politics to keep their various constituencies happy. "
The FDR coalition was built on "all races working class."
Then the Ds evicted the white working class from their historic home. Without their votes, the Ds are a minority party. They've continued to alienate working people of all colors and stripes.

A symbolic transfer of power to Muslims in France happened a few months ago.
The national soccer team coach was Didier Deschamps This guy embodies everything French. Look at a picture of him and it’s like yeah that dude is as French as one gets.
He retired and will be replaced by Zinadine Zidane. Born in France to Algerian parents. He’s probably most famous for head butting an Italian player in the 2006 final and getting ejected.
How French is he? His son plays for the Algerian team, that’s how French he is.
France’s team is already almost all non-French so not a shocking move. But having the coach now also an Arab is another milestone. Perfect timing as well given the “troubles”.

The Democrat Party is not a monolith, and major factions fought over the primary race in MI.
Establishment like Schumer (and black leaders) backed doughy white girl. More extreme elements backed El-Sayed.
Primary is low turnout, so it advantaged the more engaged side.
Democrats also don't cast aside primary winners publicly like Mitch did with O'Donnell in Delaware. They, bare minimum, provide rhetorical support to try and normalize them.
It doesn't have to be a conspiratorial plan hatched years ago. It can just be making the best of a situation they didn't plan for.

Reading the Data republican stuff and I realize something.
The insane, baseless lawsuits against Trump were never about stopping Trump--they were about finding a core group of judges who will do anything the left says.
Covid, J6 and the prosecution of Trump proved that the vast majority of Republicans will never defy the judiciary no matter how egregious or unlawful they act.
That also proved Democrats will support whatever they judiciary does, as long as it advances the left.
They weren't burning down the legitimacy of the judiciary with these ever more histrionic and fleck-speckled orders:
It was a loyalty test.
And now they have 3-5 judges who will do, say, and order anything the left asks, no matter how illegal, unconstitutional or outrageous.
And a trigger they can pull anytime on a gun aimed at the heart of America.

>>I hope you're right.
I hope so too.
But go back and look at the Democrat Senate primary in Michigan. Days before the election polls were dropping showing Abdul with a double digit lead over Haley. He ended up beating her by 1 point and she was a terrible candidate. He didn't even get 50% of the Democrat vote.
The media has been pumping up perceived support for Abdul of a year but the reality of his campaign appears to be much weaker. And Rogers is running a good campaign.
Toss in Harmeet and her team finally getting serious about election integrity and I think Rogers has a very strong chance of winning.

Walking is weight bearing exercise. Is the walking you do of varying speeds? Varying terrains? Can you zig zag to your destination without being hauled into HR for a drug test?
Walking for exercise is great. A leisurely walk isn’t going to quite do it for you, but if you can vary you speeds, and even better, add some muscle work into the walk like squats and lunges every 2-3 minutes on a 60 minute walk. Think a set of 10 reps each time. Build up to this if needed, obviously, and vary your squat types. Maybe alternate lunges, reverse lunges, curtsey lunges, etc.

Walking is weight bearing exercise. Is the walking you do of varying speeds? Varying terrains? Can you zig zag to your destination without being hauled into HR for a drug test?
Walking for exercise is great. A leisurely walk isn’t going to quite do it for you, but if you can vary you speeds, and even better, add some muscle work into the walk like squats and lunges every 2-3 minutes on a 60 minute walk. Think a set of 10 reps each time. Build up to this if needed, obviously, and vary your squat types. Maybe alternate lunges, reverse lunges, curtsey lunges, etc.

Rogers is doing far better than I expected and/or feared. Seems to come down now mainly to The Cheat. Which we all can at least agree is not merely some conspiracy or theory. I hope he gets blown out of the water, we will know soon enough.

Election monitoring is fine and good but useless in the modern era.
The fraud today isn’t old school ballot stuffing. It’s registering phantom voters and illegals who then vote by mail. The votes are “legal” when they show up to be counted.

>>There have been zero riots beyond lib boomers holding up hand-made No Kings signs.
Meta shutdown the No Kings account(s) right before this weekend's protest, preventing them from doing their usual trick of having participants go to multiple protest events in one day to boost their alleged participation numbers. Press just sees large groups, not realizing or revealing that they do this to pretend they are more well-attended than they are. "Look hundreds at 4 events today!" - yeah, the same people, likely a lot of them paid.

Democrats own the legal apparatus. They have enough Constitution-hating federal judges who issue Soviet-style secret decisions like those unleashing Smith’s abuses, billions in annual pro-bono work stored up from the world’s biggest law firms, the entire pipeline of law schools and post-school fellowships, and much of the Department of so-called Justice.
The public faces of their legal warfare like Slotkin and Marc Elias have already boldly divulged underway efforts to double down on scorched-earth prosecutions of anyone who ever worked for a Republican once Democrats retake at least the House in two weeks. Based on their history, we know these prosecutions will be entirely political and based on falsified evidence.

It's not just about conspiracies. I look at everything including weaknesses on the other side.
But there is a conspiracy or you wouldn't have a bunch of western countries throwing their borders wide open at the same time independently.

Cannot recommend the Joy Pullman essay at the Federalist highly enough, on Slutkin's speech at Chicago. Pullman puts it to Thune, that useless pool boy, saying he at the very least needs to censure Slutkin. She also sticks it to the lawfare judges the Democrats have lined up, and by extension, it is a reasonable inference to criticize that fool John Roberts, who refuses to admit the federal judiciary has a serious TDS problem.

"Amy has a serious problem," Democrat Ohio gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton's estranged mother says in a just-released campaign video, "She is a liar, she lies about her past."
I just about spit out my coffee.
"I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent," entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Donna Arthur says in the clip before trailing off into telling the world her daughter is a big fat liar.
"She says she grew up living in a tent," Arthur continued, referencing a common refrain from Acton's stump speech, but "none of that is true. She's lied her entire life."
The 1980 election was when 11-year-old me first got heavily into all things political, and I can tell you that in nearly five decades of political activism, political engagement, and writing about it as a career, I've never seen anything like Arthur's video today.
And yet somehow this isn't the first time Dr. Acton's mommy issues started a political firestorm.

News can't get better news than this in SE Pennsylvania -
Daily Times, Scanlon: Delco nurse stopped by ICE on way to Disneyland has checked in on ankle monitor
"She's a solid member of our community," says the Congresswoman.
Love this: To protect her and show solidarity, her attorney, local faith leaders, and high-profile supporters—including Delaware County U.S. Representative Mary Gay Scanlon—accompanied her and rallied outside the (Philly ICE) building.
As the story goes, she and her entire family wound up in Philadelphia from Indonesia decades ago, overstayed their visas, but were then placed under Withholding of Removals in 2010.
Reportedly, because it's legally narrow & difficult to prove, it's a rare status, which is why individuals like her are part of a relatively small, distinct group of immigrants living under that specific federal supervision. Also, finding a random third country willing to take a foreign national is incredibly difficult and rare.
She even managed to get a PA Real ID under her maiden name years ago, something I (born in state) gave up trying to get. 👏🏻

"Ironically, Slotkin is an alumna of the Central Intelligence Agency, where the motto 'Ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free” is carved into the wall.'"
-----
Like everything else there, that motto is smoke and mirrors. "Intelligence Services" are the U.S. version of taqiyya, - doing what is necessary - and is part and parcel of the "watching the watchers" problem.
We're heading back to the dats of Venetian intrigue, but if we can maintain enough transparency, perhaps we avoid the worst of those days.
Then, Slotkin and her mentor, Brennan, would have received a dagger to the base of the skull by now.
BTW, Brennan wasn't "hired" by the CIA, he was appointed by Barack Hussain "Fundamental Change" Obama.

They must have pumped him full of Joe-Biden class 'go juice' last week as he's been on the campaign trail since.
Or maybe it was a frontal lobotomy he received (the logical processing center of the brain that was 'holding him back' from being a full-throated liberal and heretic) and that 'freed' him (kinda like Fetterman but in reverse.)

Some of whom aren't communists or at least could grow out of it.

Not directly Microsoft's fault so far as I can tell.

Maybe not.

By which they mean trying to buy off the communists, who hate them and want them dead.
The communists will gleefully take the money, and then throw them in a gulag.

People are using AI to dumb their smart TVs
From reading the comments on the thread, he's disabling packages via the user's profile, in /data rather than uninstalling system packages. All the poison is still there waiting to be turned back on.
So now that this has gone public, the manufacturers will counter with restrictions at the system level that removes the ability of the users to disable certain packages, and re-enables those that were already disabled, as well as doing a CRC check on the launcher to ensure it hasn't been tampered with. Their justification? "You agreed to this in the Terms of Service."
This will escalate to hacks to rootkit the TVs, along with replacement firmware that is open source, and TV manufacturers will respond by forcing the app-makers to perform checks on their environment to make sure they're running on an "approved device" or refuse to function. App-makers that won't comply will find their apps de-certified.
And then open-source versions of the apps themselves appear, and services connected to by the apps then respond by locking down their APIs and/or adding encryption to the data streams.

45: The easy solution is for the manufacturers to just give the consumer what they want but that goes against what is taught in every Business school.
As for me, I bought a dumb TV from Best Buy. The nice man was not pushy; he just said "You won't have access to certain features." Once I established that I was fine with that, he dropped the matter and loaded the TV into my cart.

I woke from a dream where I was trying to do a take-home mid-term exam in econometrics or something heavily math-y. I couldn't answer half the questions, and my MSExcel warned me I only had "613" left (no idea what -- tables, cells, characters?). Hadn't bought the textbook, either. I planned to drop the course; but the registrar's website was *hiding* the "Last Day to Drop" date. When I sought their office, I couldn't find it -- the building was being remodeled, and nobody knew where the office had moved to. I told a co-worker, "I used to have friends in that office, but not any more. And they're all so unfriendly now. They look at you like you just crossed over from the DDR!"

Posted by: NR Pax
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded—here and there, now and then—are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.” - Robert Heinlein

We watched he last episode of the 2022 series Marie Antoinette last night. It ended on a cliffhanger, where the French Revolution was just beginning. Not a *bad* series, interesting enough with its various palace intrigues, and with good casting.
I wonder if a third season was planned but fell through? If not, if the series was to end on this note, it needed an epilogue to let the uninformed know what happened to Marie and Louis XVI, and the regime and to France.

So, a few weeks ago, my Blu Ray player started displaying "broken" icons for internet services (Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc.), but everything still worked. Last night, I didn't even get that - blank screen, no menu items, nothing. It would still play a disc, though. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Good morning, Hordians. Averted a scare yesterday. Old Mama Dot was limping and, at her age, the first thing we thought was cancer. Sad to say, once cancer has been diagnosed, it's already too late.
Took her to the vet, they did X-rays of practically her entire body and found nothing amiss anywhere. She and Diana go in to the doggie chiropractor this morning for a treatment.

Re: DataRepublican's expose, I would expect the communist left to be planning riots. I also expect the funding will come from some wealthy NGO types. Her expose will hopefully allow the authorities to arrest the events, the planners, and (especially), the funders.

France is boned because there are too many (50%+) of the population that reject the shithole countries they came from yet also refuse to assimilate.
The Camp of the Saints indeed. The civil authorities dither until they eventually surrender.

Unprovoked? They wanted to steal her stuff and do who knows what else. She's a life long New Yorker. Sucks to be her. I be she voted for the Muz. Bicycling thru Central Park armed only with a water bottle does not seem to be a very wise thing to do.

The 501c3 organization "National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A)" seems to be one focus of DataRepublican's expose, an organization composed of 1600 (claimed) members and led by a steering committee of former Biden/Obama NatSec types. Grok can give you a review of the organization and leadership, if you are interested.
Erica Chenoweth, a professor and Dean at Harvard's Kennedy School, is also a focus. She specializes in color revolutions.

Or someone doesn't want to stop it, which is the same difference, effectively.
I loved the part where these riots were taking place just prior to the weekend and an "Emergency Meeting" was scheduled for after brunch the following Monday.
Don't want to interrupt the weekend, by say, not going to a concert in Belgium, or too early in the morning but a civilized amount of time after waking, hitting the bottle and getting through email, discussing the vanities of the day and eventually wandering in to the Emergency Meeting.

>A Martian Marshal Martial law
Amusing TV fact: in the pilot for the 2008 cop drama In Plain Sight, Peter Weller's son had a walk-on role as a U.S. Marshal. Since there were two marshals in the scene, the script refers to his character as "Marshall (Man)"[sic].
When the show got picked up and Weller's character became a regular it was a new writers room, and they assumed that Marshall was the first name of the character. So he was Marshall for two seasons. They lampshade it in Season 3 when someone asks what his last name is, and he answers "Mann". The character is literally named "Marshall Mann".

How my day went:
Found a good swath of jobs to apply to.
Had a screening call with a recruiter.
Halfway through cooking supper, the stove burner stopped burning. Had to switch to the other one that size. Hopefully I'll be able to repair it/it will be a simple part replacement... did not need this right now. (Don't need it any time, but especially now). Most of the time I'll be able to get by with just the one large burner, until I can troubleshoot and get under there sufficiently.

Green Giant, Blue Earth, Minnesota, 1979. It still exists near I-90 and US-169. The interweb says this was purely a local effort to grab eyeballs. The Jolly Green Giant company was not involved and did not fund it.
I've driven past it.
Pretty short toga he's wearing. Wonder if he's anatomically-correct?
Wonder if a giant anthropomorphic vegetable garden even has anatomy? Probably just a big flower under there.

about last May I had a broken branch on a plum tree, so I picked a bunch of the green plums off the branch and tried curing them in brine, like green olives.
I changed the brine every two weeks about three times, and then let them sit in brine in the fridge.
I had one today, and it is sort of like a green olive, if you had an olive that was sort of crisp and crunchy and not olive-textured.
It used to be a thing to do, for those who lived in olive-impoverished regions

As I watched the Pink Panther vid, I wondered who did the animation. Looked so familiar.

Cartoons (WB) on the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons from the 1930s to the early 1960s. In total, he created more than 300 cartoons."

Taking the camper to get it winterized tomorrow. At last. We lived in it for nearly four months this summer, while the house was remodeled. Close quarters what with DH and two sled dogs. And the shedding! I think I vacuumed up at least two dogs a month. Probably could have knit a sweater if I had spun it.
Now we just wander around the house loving it.
Still unpacking and figuring out where stuff goes. And washing drywall dust off stuff that got left out upstairs. That crap gets everywhere.
And NOT going to the f*ing laundromat. Yay!

In those Day of Yore, the senior prank at my high school involved certain miscreants who hit the local dairy farms and heisted their fiberglass display cows. Then "Bob" of Bobs Big Boy fame also took an unscheduled trip, and all of them somehow ended up on the roof of the administration building.
A major investigation ensued, but efforts to get DNA samples from the plastic cows proved fruitless.

Bob appeared in the student center at my high school my senior year. "Nobody" knew how it got there.
Also, West High has a huge painting of their mascot, an eagle, on the side of their auditorium. For their homecoming, several, and I mean a lot, of us made instant mashed potatoes and left a huge pile of them under it. But again, "nobody" knew how it got there.
And of course, after the '64 quake when some of West High collapsed, our chant was "East is best 'cause there ain't no West."
We weren't known for our empathy on that point.

Oh, it's not decorated, but the 7 ft Costco Christmas tree is upstairs. Ralphy is crazy so Mom and I stopped with Halloween - she did it for 4 decades.
And my friends' children like to decorate the tree so 5 years ago we started to have an informal Christmas in October or November where they'd decorate the tree, we'd have food and we'd get gifts for the kids.
Outside waits until Nov 1st.
Referendum counting being held off right now.

On a cross country camping trip in 2002 I detoured a bit to take my kids to see the Jolly Green Giant in Blue Earth.
We had blasted out of RI to Chicago, the headed west overland by RT20 into Iowa to give them a mid west fix, then deked back north to find I90 and get the hell out of there.
That was their first real 'we're not in New England anymore' experience.

I've always thought the note said something like "We know he killed JFK."
Or a photo of him being a pedo. I never liked him and photos showed him in Dallas and he never admitted it. A deep dive (when I was bored years ago) showed a typed msg signed by him mentioning some crap about JFK's murder. Signed as a Texas rancher. Too long ago to remember where I saw this.
I saw the funeral live. It seemed to me Jeb and Laura were glaring at Trump in shock. Opened mouth shock.
The timing was perfect. GWB did not look at the note, like he knew somehow.
Whatever it said was damning. Jeb and Laura did not try to hide their shock and horror. GWB faced forward and tried not to flinch, but his anger showed.
Hilary barely reacted.
My favorite part was Jimmah and Rosylyn looking bummed out because they didn't get an envelope like the others. Lol.

There's a Lemon Grove, suburb just east of San Diego, they have a nice lemon on a stand. Then there's the oddly named hamlet of Lemon Cove, which has an orange stand very similar to the one pictured above. AZ Deplorable Moron, you talking about the Lemon Cove thing?
Stayed in a very odd hotel literally adjacent to the orange stand. I think as a base to visit Sequoia Nat. Park. Orange place was never open when we were there.

I have fond memories of watching the Pink Panther movies with my father and brother.
My father was a big dude, yet he would start snickering and tearing up before the next bit had even started in the shows. When the gag was actually playing out, he would be laughing so hard we couldn't even hear the dialogue.
This was during "live" TV, so we couldn't even rewind. It took multiple viewings over the years for me to get all of the punch lines. Of course, that was part of the charm of watching with our father.

I had a great-aunt Judith, whom everyone called Gladys for some reason, who died of appendicitis complications after surgery in 1925. My dad's cousins were many, and so the boys went to live with other great-uncles and aunts.
Similar thing with my Great Grandfather. Died of an infection that wouldn't bother us today.
Amazing what a dose of penicillin would have accomplished. But that was a few years hence. Life was harder then.

There's a great 'Corner Gas' show set in a small Saskatchewan town of 500 people where layabout Hank has an idea to have the town build the world biggest ....something.
A small group of people are at the diner and the mayor's grandmother says the town has always been a farming community and the item should reflect that. They should build the world's biggest hoe.
It's a beautifully quiet show with a lot of word play.
I guess vote counting will be delayed for awhile.

According to grok, the median time to get treated for something in Canada is around 200 days.
However, they'll be happy kill you in as little as 15 days ("Track 1" cases) or 90 days ("Track 2" cases).
It seems like most of the doctors I ran across who murder old folks also perform abortions. That might be coincidence, but it's suspicious, eh?

Because of the boys ages at the time, they had mapped out every single roadside giant and skate park along the route. You'd be amazed how many giant balls of twine there are in these united states.
Got home shortly before 9/11. Most memorable trip ever.

138 There's a Lemon Grove, suburb just east of San Diego, they have a nice lemon on a stand. Then there's the oddly named hamlet of Lemon Cove, which has an orange stand very similar to the one pictured above. AZ Deplorable Moron, you talking about the Lemon Cove thing?
Stayed in a very odd hotel literally adjacent to the orange stand. I think as a base to visit Sequoia Nat. Park. Orange place was never open when we were there.

We did a cross country trip in 2001. Started in NYC at the WTC and spent last night at a campground near Shanksville, PA. Because of the boys ages at the time, they had mapped out every single roadside giant and skate park along the route. You'd be amazed how many giant balls of twine there are in these united states.
Got home shortly before 9/11. Most memorable trip ever.

My first cross country camping trip was 1965 , with my parents ans six siblings. My father had dreamed of ot after trzveling by train during wwii, on his way to AK. Then I repeated it in 2002 with wife and daughters, 7 + 11 yo. Forever memories.

I don't think so, if the origin of the measurement is the base of the angle.

The difference between plane surveying and spherical surveying is very evident, and becomes moreso the closer you get to the poles. North-South roads periodically have a jog in them, called a "correction line", resulting from a shift of section lines as you go north, and there can be fewer miles between meridians.

How would they identify that, wouldn't their measuring equipment be subject to the same curvature as the land it was surveying, and show 60 degrees as well?

Insurance first was voice-recognition clanker hell. Couldn't get a real person. Couldn't get a straight answer. Could get nothing. Called the mortgage company, hit 0 for support, got a real human. Got the problem solved by a real, professional human. How I hate having clankers shoved into everything!

No, what I mean is that the tools will have the same curvature as the land being surveyed, both will have a curvature, and as 2 dimensional beings they are in the same plane, curved. Euclidean geometry requires parallel lines and 180 degree sum triangles, but a non-Euclidean being on a curvature has larger angles for the vertices of a regular triangle, however the surveying tools also would have that greater angle since they are in the same plane.
I think it would have been more obvious in a square, since parallel lines are not actually parallel and the bowing of the parallel lines would become obvious in large enough distances, as a sphere requires the lines to either not be straight and still be the same distance apart at all points, or be different lengths to maintain 90 degree corners.

Most everyone here has probably heard of it, but maybe not its history.
Lucy is a six story (65 foot) Elephant (painted "Intestinal Pink" on the inside). A spiral staircase goes up its leg. Over the years it has served as a Real Estate office (1881), Concession stand and small restaurant, A Seaside Tavern (1902), Summer Cottage (1903), WW2 Surplus Store, and as of the present a museum.

Speaking of green stars: if our star is yellow, why do we have white light?
Do stars with other colors have white light?
Also, why does the color not simply match the spectrograph for Hydrogen and Helium?
And a corollary: I thought color came from temperature?

Lots of infant deaths. A couple deaths during childbirth. One where the baby survived and was immediately given to an orphanage, because how does a single (male) European peasant in the 1800s raise a child? Not like he could just head to the local Wal-Mart and buy some Similac.....

Even her obituary didn't mention parents or siblings or cousins or aunts/uncles, just her husband (dead at the time) and her descendants.
Longer branches go back to at least the 1600s (some well beyond, but I haven't verified them yet). Lots of kids, lots died young, ancestors who died giving birth or right after from Puerperal fever...

247 200 I have two ancestors who died in the Civil War, one KIA, the other who died in a military hospital after being wounded.
There's a pretty good chance he'd have survived with modern medicine.

Relative (non-ancestor) died of cholera while a soldier. Yeah, lots of things we can treat today couldn't be then.
Then again, 2nd husband of an ancestor (1st husband was my ancestor) died by falling into a canyon...

When I was a little kid, I thought the Jolly Green Giant was named "Charlie".
Why? Because
1) Charlie the Tuna in the Star-Kist ads had an East Coast accent that made him pronounce his name like "Chollie".
2) The jingle for the Green Giant ads went "In the valley of the Jolly Green Giant", which I heard as "In the valley of the Chollie Green Giant".
Yeah, I wasn't right in the head even back then.

>> How would they identify that, wouldn't their measuring equipment be subject to the same curvature as the land it was surveying, and show 60 degrees as well?
An angle is basically local. And "straight lines" on a curved (intrinsically) curved surface are geodesics, as straight as you can go on a curved surface. The symmetry of a sphere is just about perfect, divine even, and the geodesics of spheres are great circles. So a "triangle" on a sphere consists of three geodesic sides.
Imagine starting at the equator and going north to the pole. Then make a 90 degree turn and go the same distance. You are now back at the equator. Now, make another right angle turn. You get back to your starting place over a triangle. A triangle with 3 90 degree angles for a sum of 270 degrees.

Gauss (one of the true greats, up there with Newton, etc) did surveying, a famous one being a survey of the Kingdom of Hanover. He surveyed a big triangle using three peaks somehow and showed the sum was greater than 180 degrees. He wasn't trying to prove this, he and everyone knew it would, but this is oft cited.

There is another curious effect you'll notice with that equator to pole and back triangle. If you were carrying a local coordinate axis with you the whole time, which you maintained aligned with your path, you would find that it had rotated 90 degrees when you returned to your starting point. The is known as "holonomy" formally, and geodetic precession informally.
That effect would not happen in flat, Euclidean space.
And that is one of the effects that has been tested with General Relativity, recalling last thread. The earth's gravity induces a very small, but measurable spatial curvature to 3D space surrounding it. That causes gyroscopes to precess ever so slightly. In this GR context, it's known as deSitter precession, which is a curvature only effect (there are others, due to "Frame dragging" or the magnetic like gravitational analog due to moving masses, known as Lense-Thirring precession).

228 Hi Horde!
Speaking of green stars: if our star is yellow, why do we have white light?
Do stars with other colors have white light?
Also, why does the color not simply match the spectrograph for Hydrogen and Helium?
And a corollary: I thought color came from temperature?
Posted by: frammish at October 19, 2026 11:07 PM (rcENI)
The spectral components of light come from the elements on the surface of the star that re-transmit the photons from the star for the last time. I read somewhere that it takes at least 1000 years for light to make it's way out of the sun from the first fusion reaction to the escaping the photosphere...
The sun's temperature does affect what we see emitted (blackbody radiation)...forget what temp the sun's at.

We used to say that whenever Mike hit town with a fat paycheck it was "Yo! Ho! Ho! And a bottle of rum."
Cocaine was usually in the mix as well.
I should see if I can find out what happened to that guy. Haven't seen him in decades. Fair chance that drunk driving, overdose, or cirrhosis has taken him out by now.

Thanks jim! I asked Google too, and your explanation lines up with what it told me.
Actually it said that the cooler outer layer absorbs the energy and the H/He energy lines are missing from a spectroscope. I have some vague memory of that, although it doesn't match pictures I see online now.
I didn't remember (or never learned) what black body radiation was, so that was an interesting rabbit hole, especially about why it emits a continuous range of frequencies instead of discrete bands.

Imagine starting at the equator and going north to the pole. Then make a 90 degree turn and go the same distance. You are now back at the equator. Now, make another right angle turn. You get back to your starting place over a triangle. A triangle with 3 90 degree angles for a sum of 270 degrees.

I understand, but the problem is that this is where I glitched out on my Mom way back when, and I am stuck between knowing what is said, and what seems apparent, in that as a two dimensional being the measurements would not be identified since the deviation could only be observed from the third dimension, which cannot be perceived by the Flatlanders.
I suppose the orbit of Mercury could be a way of analogy for 3D space, and possibly gravitational lensing, but I can't get my head around it anymore than when I was 8 years old.

>> in that as a two dimensional being the measurements would not be identified since the deviation could only be observed from the third dimension,
That's the thing. It is observable on the surface. The Flatlanders could indeed measure that. Start out, go straight a distance. Now, relative to your local spot, using a local coordinate axis relative to you, make a 90 degree turn. Keep you axes "straight" the whole time. Make another 90 degree and return to your starting point.
Locally, you made 3 90 degree internal angle turns. ANd your local coordinate axes, which you carried only with you, are now rotated relative to where they were when you started. They did not rotate relative to you at all.
That is the basic of *intrinsic curvature*, it can be measured purely in the space. No extra embedding dimensions are required.
Gauss's Theorema Egregium was all about this, which he was stunned by.

To appreciate this, you have to consider the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic curvature. Extrinsic is about curving in the external, ambient "embedding space", which we will assume is nice and Euclidean.
Consider a cylinder. Take a flat sheet of rectangular paper and roll it around into a cylinder. You can do that without distortion (stretching or tearing). Even though that surface curves in the ambient 3D space, it remains flat intrinsically. Flatlanders would not notice that.
Intrinsic curvature is about what is actually measurable and invariant about the surface itself, relative to itself.

With these thought experiments, we are going down the road that led to Differential Geometry, and Riemann's perfection of it.
Some things to ponder: What do we mean by "going in a straight line" on a curved surface? And to answer that, think about what "going straight" rigorously means even on flat plane. Now, think about what you mean by "parallel transport", how to carry vectors and "kept them straight" as you move them along such a curved surface.
It was only recently that I truly grokked parallel transport, "going straight" in the geodesic sense, and the Levi-Civita connection. I thought I did, but realized I didn't.
Somehow, with all that was going on with my mother, this became a mental distraction and I did gain some deep understanding of this.

Gauss discovered that the intrinsic curvature of a 2D surface could be entirely characterized by a single scaler number at every point. This is, strangely enough, called the Gaussian curvature. It is the product of the "Principle Curvatures" at every point. That principle curvature business, in another remarkable result, reduces to an eigenvalue problem. There will always be two perpendicular directions where the "normal curvature" takes on a minimum and maximum value. Their product is the Gaussian curvature.
And what blew Gauss away was when he realized that was invariant. It didn't depend on the embedding space The normal curvatures come from various derivatives along the surface as seen from the ambient embedding space.
Again, if interested look that up. Grok will be very helpful explaining and visualizing this.

The Gaussian curvature of a sphere is just 1/R^2, where R is the radius.
That has units of area. Area is very fundamental to the notion of this invariant curvature. The deviation of triangles from summing to 180 degrees is proportional to the area enclosed by that triangle.
Another fundamental way to see this is to imagine constructing a circle on the surface. We take some radius line (geodetic distance) and stretch it out and make a circle.
Our flatlanders measure the circumference of that circle. They will find it is *less* than 2pi*r. And they will find the area enclosed is less than pi*r^2.
And that deviation will be proportional to the radius and that area.
The rotation of those coordinate axes I was going on about above will also be proportional to that area.

You can have a space where the curvature at each point in some region varies, and is positive at some places and negative in the others. There, it's about integrating it over the area in question, and that sign of that sum wins out.

Okay but neither of you has a trick to remember?
It sounds like elliptic is the one with a hemisphere as a model (like publius's journey from the equator to the north pole and back). And that has no parallel lines. So hyperbolic has many parallel lines. I think that is slightly intuitive: an ellipse curves in on itself, and a hyperbola shoots off in two directions without touching.

Now, let's walk the dimensional ladder with curvature. For a 1D space, which is just a curve, there can be no intrinsic curvature, only extrinsic (and the extrinsic curvature for a circle is just 1/R).
For 2D, you can have intrinsic, and that requires just the one scalar number at every point.
Now, go to the 3D and things get messier. A 3D space can curve in many more ways than a 2D space, and a scalar isn't enough. A vector isn't enough. You need a rank-2 tensor. There are 6 independent components to describe the curvature.
Now, an object know as the Ricci curvature tensor is enough to describe that. It's a symmetric rank-2 tensor, which you can think of as a matrix.
Now, for 4D and higher, it gets even more complex and mind blowing....

Now, to fully describe curvature in 4D or higher, a rank-2 is not enough. Nor is a rank-2. You need a rank-4 tensor, which is a 4 dimensional mathematical object itself.
The math itself to describe 4D space is 4D itself in a sense. You can't even visualize the object itself.
That 4D object is known as the Riemann curvature tensor. It's a bitch.

For dimensions higher than 4, fortunately the Riemann tensor is sufficient, although the number of independent components increases rapidly.
Now, the Ricci tensor, the rank-2 is a contraction of the full monty. It has to do with how curvature distorts areas, volumes from the expected flat values.
In 3D, that's all you need. In 4D and higher, curvature can curve much more richly. This means, as a "test cloud" moves across geodesics, it's volume/area will remain constant, but it's shape will change.
This is known as Weyl curvature. It's what's left of Riemann after you subtract out the Ricci part.
Only 4D and higher spaces can have Weyl curvature.
For dimensions higher than 4, fortunately the Riemann tensor is sufficient, although the number of independent components increases rapidly.

Now, with this simple picture, you are ready to learn some basis of General Relativity, Einstein gravity.
The Einstein field equations say the Einstein tensor is equal to a constant times the Stress-energy tensor at a point in spacetime. The Einstein tensor is basically the Ricci tensor minus a term. Einstein first tried to set it directly to the Ricci tensor, but that is unphysical (you can read the details). It took him a while to figure it out.
So the Ricci curvature of spacetime is sourced by the stress-energy tensor. That is rank-2 tensor decribing the energy, the currents of energy, momentum, and currents of momentum at a point in space. The momentum part can be seen as pressure. Gravity depends on mass-enery, pressure, and how they are flowing.
Now, in vacuum, where there is no matter, the Ricci tensor must be zero. Spacetime must be Ricci flat. But, it can still have Weyl curvature.
And lucky for us, without Weyl curvature, gravity could not propagate in empty space. One mass couldn't attract another over empty space.

Now, that Ricci and Weyl curvature determine how a system of test particles will move through the spacetime.
In vacuum, Ricci flat spacetime, a spherical cloud of test particles, allowed to free fall will distort in shape, but the volume will not change.
Put a little spherical cloud of particles up in orbit. The shape will change, but it the volume enclosed will not. Drop the cloud radially, and it will distort into a prolate sphere as it free falls.
Now, if there is Ricci curvature, it will shrink as well as distort shape. Which is would if the test cloud's own mass was thrown into it.

So that's all the big bad EFE are telling you, how matter at a point affects how a little cloud of particles will change shape and volume as they evolve in time.
And the beauty of it is gravity is just geometry. Mass-energy changes our flat spacetime into something intrinsically curved. Straight lines converge. Two mass converge, get closer together over time because they are curving spacetime so their straight lines converge.

This is the perfect example of what has been described as "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics".
Gauss and some others, and finally Riemann perfected this abstract thing called differential geometry, allowing one to describe general, non-Euclidean geometry of spaces of any arbitrary dimension. It seemed to be something purely abstract of little practical use.
And then came Einstein and it became very practical and allowed gravity to be perfectly described to incredible precision.

There are two milk bottles in Spokane, WA. Grandmother, born 1901, was shipped out West from Chicago as a pre-teen, and lived in a small room upstairs of the one downtown. Her older sister and her husband owned the store where everything was clean. Gma worked there some and went on to be a bookkeeper and mountain climber. Well-kept, German work and hobby. Worked and climbed in San Francisco for a handful of years. Was sent by the company back to Spokane. 4'11" in reasonable heels, she met a 5'11" postman with a perfect suit and hair, also from Chicago by way of a farm in Chewelah, WA. Married, bought a small house, raised 2 kids, sent them to college, Secretary for the neighborhood Presbyterian church, and died in the same well-kept small house at 99.
Two decades later a great grandson bought a house on the other side of Spokane. It had been built by the same builder. When Mom, Sis and I walked in for the first time we were instantly transported by just the sound that the hardwood floor made - to Grandma's kitchen. We smelled the fresh-baked almond cookies in our mind that Grandma always had ready for visitors - especially grandkids.

Yes indeed. But I'm a Big Dummy. I don't know what go straight means. But I do know about vectors and directions and derivatives and such. Tell me what I need to do with my tangent vector to go straight.

Yes, if I go straight for some finite distance, I'll find that distance is the shortest path between the two endpoints.
But how do I do that. I take a little tiny step in a given direction, any direction. Now, if I want to keep going straight, what do I do with the next such little step I take. I'm not worried about the distance I travel, just what I need to do with each step to keep going straight.

Yes, I'm jerking your chain a bit. But for a purpose. Going straight in flat space is so trivial, what it really means is lost, it's one of those givens you don't really think about.
But when we want to take that and go to a curved space, we need to get that those trivial givens precisely defined.

Alaska's coastline is approximately 6,640 miles long, but when including its islands and tidal areas, it can extend to over 33,904 miles.
We have a few islands.
The total length of the coastline of the lower 48 states is approximately 5,743 miles. I'm not sure if they count all the islands. Probably not. But either way, well, we got it.

Nothing like a huge gut pile in the yard, either. Ack.

Another way to look at is the curve is everywhere continuous, but nowhere differentiable.
The Weierstrass function was the first example of that, but they didn't call it fractal until much later, after Mandelbrot developed the theory and coined the term.

Say I'm standing on a sphere. I want to go straight on that sphere. If I follow the trivial rule of "going straight" in the ambient 3D Euclidean space the sphere is sitting in, I immediately leave the surface. So that's no good.
I want a definition of going straight relative to the surface of the sphere so I don't step off it. I want to "curve the least", going the straightest I can on the surface without leaving it.
That's why you need to get down the rigorous nitty-gritty of what you mean by going straight.

Right, Vitamin A, not D, although both are fat soluble, so will build up much, much faster than water soluble vitamins like vitamin C (which you just piss out the excess).
I remember a doctor saying eating additional vitamin C wouldn't have any additional health benefits, just make for vitamin C-rich piss...and I thought to myself, "well, couldn't that be good for the urinary tract, doc?"...
The vitamin D in the liver will KILL you, even if you don't eat it all...

That's vitamin A, but it probably doesn't matter if you're hospitalized or dead.
Moose liver is also to vitamin-A-dense for people. And walrus and some kind(s) of seal.

Tons of Vit A in rabbit livers. One liver won't hurt you if cooked (they're small), but eat one 4 or 5 days in a row...
Vit A is toxic in large quantities, and it's fat soluble.
One raw rabbit liver will make you sick,so you probably won't get to the second day. I know someone who made that mistake (raw) while taking a survival course. They added a warning in subsequent courses.

Never ate the liver, certainly, but the moose heart was the delicacy the night of the kill. Tasty, but a little weird.
I ate moose meat growing up, because it was what we could afford. I took a few years to get used to beef once I moved to the Lower 48. It always tasted kinda bland to me then, although I live a good beef steak now.
DH won't hunt a moose for me, and I'm really to decrepit to pull it off myself, but if one comes over the fence, I will be harvesting that monster and eating it for two years.
Moose teriyaki is about the best you can imagine. Moose roast, moose burger (with a bit of beef tallow, because it's very lean), moose steak... mmmm...

And one moose fed a family of seven for an entire year, so there's that. We also had salmon, of course, and the occasional ptarmigan or snowshoe hare. Some whole chickens when they were on sale. But almost never beef. Way too expensive.
Now there is a push to raise beef in AK, and the stuff I've purchased is very good indeed, but pricey.

And above, I see I sloppily said curvature has dimensions of area. It's inverse area, of course, "per area".
And that remains all the way up to arbitrary number of dimensions. All those components of the curvature tensors have those units, per area, and they are just all the different sectional or plane curvatures of all the coordinate axes.
In 2D you've just got one plane. In 3D, you've got three planes (xy, yz, zx). And then, how each varies in a certain way. That ups up to components in 3D. And then 20 in 4D total. The Ricci part doesn't grow as fast, just 10 in 4D.

Anyway, when XH and I lived in Japan, we stayed at a small ryokan place and were served goat milk for breakfast. Fresh from the goat! After a few miles on the road, I got sick-- that milk was just too rich.

My wife, God rest her soul, was lactose intolerant (ethnic Chinese tend to be). She drank some cows milk, but the proteins or antigens somehow made it through the breast milk and gave the older one hives when he nursed. She found out that drinking goats milk worked, and moreover, drinking RAW goats milk didn't cause the lactose issues (yeah natural bacteria in the milk!)
I was fed goat milk from 2wks of age. I joke that my thick skull comes from those days...

I never studied topology. I did, for fun, go over spherical math myself one year; don't remember much.
When I realize derivatives were just finding slopes (delta y over delta x, but taking the deltas to the limit close to zero), it made it much easier to understand. Found the fundamental theorem of Calculus beautiful in how it connected reverse differentiation (integration) to finding areas under continuous curves.
Same with infinite sequences leading to Euler's formula, and the relationship between hyperbolic trigonometric functions and substituting complex angles into Euler's formula.

>> I never studied topology.
It's a profound thing. Topology is sort of the master of all, the supreme law of the land. A sphere and a cube are topologically equivalent, the same. As well as a coffee mug and a donut are the same. But two very different topological animals. It's just the geometry is different between them all.
Topology gives much freedom in the local geometry, but it sets some fundamental constraints on how that geometry much "connect" globally.
See the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem. That says that a topological sphere must have 4pi worth of curvature. Remember that area thing? The curvature of any topological sphere must integrate to 4pi globally. With a sphere, we distribute that evenly, constant curvature. With a cube, it's concentrated in 8 singularities at the corners (edges are suprisingly zero intrinsic curvature).
Now, a torus must sum to 0. And that tells us a 2D torus can be flat (we just can't embed in 3D, it takes 4D to bend a flat piece of plane into a closed torus). The donut is a 3D version and has to have local curvature to fit in 3D, but it sums to zero.
And that global master constraint thing has profound implications for physics....

I've got to pack it in for tonight, forgive my rambling. But to answer the question of what it means to go straight. It means I keep going in the same direction. (big duh, huh?). I don't change direction as a move along. Meaning the derivative of my tangent vector per arc length is zero.
Now, take that to a curved surface. Same thing. But, since the surface is curved, that means I must curve, my tangent vector has to change to stay on the surface. But going strait means the rate of change must be everywhere normal to the surface, with no component the tangent plane at any point. I throw away the normal component as a move along.
And that is going straight on a curved surface. The math gets tedious to do that, but that's what it is.

I was teenager in the 90s, and I speak from ignorance, but looking at Europe today I have to wonder if we were unjust to the Serbs. Can France, England, etc save themselves without doing the same?
And I grieve for Cyprus. I suppose our leaders were afraid of discord in NATO, but what an injustice. I've stayed in the home of someone who fled from Lefkosia as a child. . . .

And that is going straight on a curved surface. The math gets tedious to do that, but that's what it is.

The questions of "how straight" and "how far" are intricately interwoven as well. Straight implies "shortest distance", but how one measures distance is an imposition upon the space, not an intrinsic property of it. You need both a topology and a metric to define what we think of as a space, and to then describe whatever we think of as a curvature on it. A lot of the various branches and off-shoots of mathematics are various ways of abstracting out things we naturally take for granted like direction or distance or what it means to be connected or adjacent.

My son gets the worst diarrhea when he eats anything with eggs. So not a life-and-death allergy (yet), but bad enough.
My wife's cousin would have terrible reactions to foods, eventually becoming allergic to almost all grains. She was diagnosed with a "leaky" intestine, where the proteins from the grains would cross the blood barrier and eventually the immune system would determine those proteins were invasive and develop antibodies against it. Poor girl was so skinny. Eventually she went through desensitization therapy and can eat a whole slew of foods she couldn't before.
Allergies are strange things. I read an article where asians who could eat jackfruit moved to Italy and within 6 months to a year became allergic to jackfruit. Turned out the culprit was the pollen of some birch tree, whose protein was close enough to that found in jackfruit that the immune system antibodies attacked both.

DH has reactions to so many things, dust, dander, pollen, etc. When he was a baby, he was allergic to chicken eggs, so badly it required epinephrine to open his airway. Now? He eats donuts. If he thinks it has eggs, he reacts. I think it is psychosomatic at this point. But the rest? He is very sensitive.
I'm told most of it is genetic, but I'm just not sure of that. I think people react to all kinds of things, but true allergies are probably somewhat rarer.
My son is not allergic to anything, but he doesn't tolerate milk. That's genetic. He was exposed to heaven only knows what as a baby in Guatemala. He never got colds or the flu either, as a kid. He probably developed all sorts of immunities due to the basic levels of sanitation in Guat.
But DH? He's a pale Viking. Heaven only knows. We keep an epi-pen just in case.

One of the advantages of having pets and farm animals, and allowing kids to play in the mud...exposure to lots of things, teaching the immune system what to be wary of and what not to.
Genetics also plays a role, like with my wife's cousin. Even that cousin's sister had specific allergies. As I recall, one could eat no seafood except lobster, the other could eat no seafood except crabs. Expensive allergies!

>> You need both a topology and a metric to define what we think of as a space, and to then describe whatever we think of as a curvature on it.
Yes! And that's a very important point. My simple hand-waving way to define that above was making use of the crutch of Euclidean embedding space. Anyone who knows basic vector calculus can derive the geodesic equations simply from that. And there will be no notion of a "connection" at all that comes into it, much less the specific Levi-Civita one.
That comes for free from the Euclidean metric and hides all the meaning there. To do abstractly from scratch, intrinsic only, you've got to build that up from the get go. What do we mean by "distance". What do we mean by taking derivates of vectors on that space, etc, etc.

That is crazy, jim in Kali--
I don't call myself "allergic" to milk; I can drink a little bit of it (say, with cookies LOL) or cook with it, without any problem. It's only when I slug down a big glass of it, that I have bathroom issues.
Cheese? No problem. Cream soups? No problem. Go figure.
Like Puddleglum suggested: food additives are suspect. Too many chemicals!
I cook at home, mostly. Very rarely eat restaurant food or 'highly processed' grocery items. I think that's been good for me and hubby.

Back in the mid-90s I had a website called 'The Tackiest Place In America Contest'. It was comprised at first of pictures I took on a cross-country trip but developed a bit of a following and was supplemented by the community with more places (including the Lifesavers example in this ONT).
I named Blue Earth, MN the winner for its Jolly Green Giant statue. I got an email from the Mayor of Blue Earth complaining. I also got photos of it at Christmas with his yearly scarf.
I let the site go when Roadside America went online but it was a lot of fun for a few years.

Anna, my response to you was Willowed. Posting then then looking at cute fur babies...
>>> I disliked the movie because the 'smart educated' scientists coastally acted in ways that were suicidal.
Oh, for sure Anna!! A lot of their problems could be solved by just not being stupid. Like thinking they can suddenly breathe the air. And splitting up.
One of the fun points of the game "Subnautica" is that the second you land on the planet, everything including the air and water poisons you. You have to get a mutation from a native plant/creature thing just to survive.
And there's a body replicator machine that replicates you if you die. The lore, once you get farther into playing the game, is absolutely horrific. An earlier group of explorers in the game SPOILER ALERT had to make copies of themselves to eat because they ran out of food and the animals there were poison.

Another fascinating discovery about white dwarfs coming out of the exoplanet research. They've confirmed a "2nd generation" planet, a big ol' Jupiter mass gas giant, around a white dwarf. This formed after the star died from the planetary disc expelled as the star went red giant and blew away most of the material (this will be our sun's fate in some time over 5 billion years from now.
So, planets can form after a star dies. And surprisingly some theorizing has white dwarfs have a habitable zone for any little rocky planet that might form close in.
You'd think it would be impossible. The orbit would be very close, orbital period measure in hours. And it would be tidally locked, but at a few hours period, the rotation rate would be the same, and that would be fast enough to stir up the atmospher nicely and keep heat distributed.

Sunsets on Mars are indeed often blue. The dust in the thin atmosphere works exactly bassackwards to Erf, scattering the red, and passing the blue through. You can find some rover pictures of this.

I don't know if the elephant even had a real beef with them. We seen vids posted here before of lions laying in the path as some elephants approached. They didn't just keep laying in the path waiting to see what happened. They got their furry asses out of the way.
People should be so smart.

Yes. Red-shifted by the expansion of space...Also, if the star is coming towards us relative to our motion, it'll be blue-shifted, moving away from us relative to our motion it'll be red-shifted.

>> So is the light we see from stars also subject to space time dilation?
There is a Doppler effect for moving stars (and this can be used to determine velocities of nearby stars, if you know the class of star and what it should be emitting in the rest frame). Special relativity modifies it beyond the classical Doppler relation.
Now, at cosmological scales, the expansion redshifts the light greatly itself. The wavelength is stretched out as it travels through space. And there is gravitational red (and blue) shift as well.

Years ago was lucky to stay at a rainforest research center for a few days, in Borneo. It was great. Simple dorm-like room (fairly cheap), lived and ate with all the scientists there doing their projects.
I remember there was a Thai woman who was an orangutan specialist. She had habituated one particular orangutan sufficiently that the critter would ignore her when the primate was visiting her favorite durian tree (the scientist staked out this tree). As I recall she was lucky to see the orangutan a few times, in a few months. Amazing patience.
The ant guy had a lot more action. Went out with him one night on his rounds. OMG. The huge ant colonies (with huge ants). The deafening cacophony of the rainforest at sunset was something else.

On a game drive I did in South Africa we came upon a small group of elephants. It was one male and three females. That's when the ranger driving the rig told up about musth.
It's a periodic thing male elephants go through. Basically a rise in their hormones which causes them to horny. And aggressive.
And just as he finished explaining the condition the male started flapping ears, using his trunk to through dirt in the air and then charged us. When a big bull elephant starts charging at you it gets your attention.

Love the color of twilight!
Elephants I will always love. This big boy decided these men irritated him vastly. He either picked up faggotry fumes, or the one tapping his finger sent him over the edge. It's possible his dinner was late. Regardless, I have this same feeling at times.
Not an orangutan but a baboon sends our Girlie #1 into hysterics. The word at first, as I said she was acting like a baboon (we have the same uninhibited laugh). I showed her a photo online and she immediately noticed their their behinds. There's a baboon song my dude played in the car mentioning their colorful buttocks. We are weird and wear it with pride.
Loved the kitty onstage with Romeo!
My father's black cat used to scare his sitters for years. Who knew a black cat is as good as a watchdog? One visiting nurse would call ahead to see if he was outside before she came in. Granted, he'd hide in the dark hall or stairwell and jump on people and run off as they screamed...you didn't see him til you did.

That is actually a good question.
They had realtime subspace communication across many lightyears.
Why can't they beam the information packets of a human being using those same pathways? Unless there was some sort of signal degradation that could lead to horrible results.
Not a big deal beaming video, but not fun when beaming flesh and blood...

Alberta counting should begin in a few hours.
For elections, we usually know who won by midnight Ontario time.
Regarding Slotkin, is there anything the DOJ can do or some other agency to harass that bitch to the point of suicide? Hypothetically of course. Waters mentioned her.
On the other hand, you know, the leftists believe that's exactly what Trump is doing. They legitimately say that on MSNow and elsewhere so maybe their own lies are suppressing their less crazy people from running and volunteering.

There's a movie by that name as well. I think Nicholas Cage was in it it. It annoyed me because they made it under the guise that it was to be the film version of Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series. They have purchased the film rights to do so. But, it had absolutely nothing to do with the Dresden series. In the end, it wasn't very good other than Cage going over the top, as usual.

I finished season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as I'm doing computer stuff.
They had a lot of really strong episodes and someone in the cast must have been working on horror movies. And they had some funny episodes. A lot of great crew stuff with Lieutenant Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Uhura and Chapel who's a hottie.
And since they're going off the air, episode 9 had a lesbian kiss. And Chapel referred to her dating a woman.
It DID NOTHING for either episode but piss me off, remind me not to watch any show until it's over and off the air, stick to asian stuff and older shows and kids' shows. All to drop in some sort of freaking message because they could. Let it burn.
Star Trek Enterprise has been really enjoyable. They did sex it up with T'Pol

Normal Tesla's already have self-drive mode. I imagine we will get flying cars at some point and there will have to be new rules of the "road" to accommodate them but if a car can drive itself it doesn't seem a stretch that a flying car could as well.

Your body is torn into subatomic particles and then into energy...you're memories copied and stored. On the other end, that same energy is converted back into matter--atoms, molecules, proteins, DNA, etc. Memories are copied back into the neural networks.

Of of my favorite quotes about Einstein is from the great mathematician David Hilbert, a giant in his own right, who said:
"Every boy in the streets of Göttingen understands more about four-dimensional geometry than Einstein. Yet Einstein did the work and not the mathematicians."
That was high praise indeed.

If generic energy is used, you body and brain and memories scanned, then another exact copy is made of you, you won't be looking through the eyes of the copy...
The only difference with transporting, is that your body is used to make the energy that is used to make the copy.
Star Trek is one of the bloodiest series, with all the killing happening while transporting people...

I think we have to stipulate what sort of "flying car" we are talking about. If it actually "flies", i.e. uses engine power and aerodynamic principles to motivate through the air, it'S going to have to be licensed by the FAA, and its operators likewise. And it will be costly to operate, as you have burn fuel just to stay airborne.
If it works on anti-gravity principles, which don't exist, all bets are off.

Star Wars has open convertible-style flying cars without safety harnesses (apparently), cruising at hundreds of miles an hour, several kilometers above the ground.

Most every sci-fi author basically treats "flitters" as a given, and pays no more attention to them than your typical mystery novelist pays to automobiles. Their existence is acknowledged, and they are used to advance the action of the story, but only rarely are they the story.

The thing about a flying car is that any sort of malfunction would quickly turn into a catastrophic one. In a plane, you can glide if there is a loss of engine power. If you are driving a Porsche Ostvind, you'll drop like a brick.

The above prompted me to review, in Feynman-esque terms, the confrontation of General Relativity with experiment. It's quite impressive. From the smallest solar system scale to the largest cosmological scales, the difference between the real theory of gravity and what General Relativity predicts is getting very, very small. The worst uncertainty there is 1/100K. The Equivalence Principle, on the other end has been verified to 1 in 10^15 precision.
For example, the Moon is within 2cm of where GR predicts it will be, and that result will likely be confirmed to sub mm precision, when the lunar laser ranging boys complete the latest work. They've already got the Moon's position down to that sub-mm level.

The Einstein Field Equations (EFE) of General Relativity, written in the terse tensor covariant form, look like one simple line. In reality, they are 10 coupled highly non-linear partial differential equations in 4 variables (space and time).
And it depends on just 2 independent parameters, c and G. Just two free parameters. And on top of that complexity, it respects the Strong Equivalence Principle (as opposed to weak, and intermediate forms). That's sort of hard to state precisely for me, but basically it means local gravity behaves the same in the presence of global gravity. It is the only known theory of gravity that can do that.
And it agrees with experiment to this level of precision. It's a thing of beauty indeed.

It's not just CIA agent Elissa Slotkin -- Adulterer and Senator Chris Murphy is also previewing his schemes for a left-wing authoritarian putsch.
The DSA is also plotting a full-on coup.
Western Lensman
@WesternLensman Oct 17 Democrats want to imprison their political enemies to deter young conservatives. They also want to regulate social media so people are less likely to support candidates they don't like. Chris Murphy: "Regulating the internet...should be an important government project." "if people are feeling more powerful and less lonely, then they are going to be less likely to fall for a bullsht demagogue like Donald Trump." From the so-called "anti-authoritarian" party.
DataRepublican (small r)
@DataRepublican The past few days, I got my hands on thousands of new transcripts and hundreds of recordings, thanks to leads from @SKDoubleDub33 and @iamlisalogan. You've heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits. What you not have heard is - there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become "foot soldiers" in constant clashes with the administration to cross a "red line" or invoke a "doomsday scenario" - meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027. Then, a lot of coordinated responses kick off, including delegitimizing the federal government itself and handing that legitimacy to Democratic governors. 2028 then becomes a vote on whether to keep America governance as-is or to burn it all down to appease a "young and brown" demographic. The mysterious group who's been coordinating 50501, Indivisible, and coordinating the NoKings protests is called "United Democracy Alliance" and their intellectual leader is Erica Chenoweth who came up with the 3.5% rule of nonviolent regime change. Patience. I know I've hyped this more than anything else. It's genuinely the biggest discovery I've had. This is an enormous archive. This is only the beginning.
Major lethal fire at a Canadian military base in Alberta. Supposedly, it was due to a flaw in a shoulder-launched rocket being fired, not due to terrorism.
Supposedly. I have the same level of confidence in the Socialist Canadian government that you have. Some video here:Jeff Evely - the Magnanimous GenX'er Male
@JeffEvely Oct 18 TRAGEDY IN WAINWRIGHT, AB A major incident occurred at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Wainwright, Alberta, on 17 Oct 2026. A fire ignited in the training area around 4:00 p.m. Driven by high winds of up to 100 km/h, it spread rapidly beyond the base. Military and civilian emergency services are responding, and the fire is being held. The Canadian Armed Forces confirmed that the incident resulted in fatalities and injuries. Edmonton hospitals were issued a "Code Orange" (mass casualty) alert. Reports from the ground indicate there could be north of 100 casualties. Unconfirmed reports from multiple sources indicate that a gas line or well exploded after being struck by a shoulder-fired high-explosive (HE) round (similar to an RPG) after it "dolphined." This is a once-in-a-lifetime malfunction in which the projectile follows an unstable, wavy, up-and-down path, like a dolphin leaping out of the water, sending it far off course. The explosion reportedly flattened multiple facilities where troops were training. The resulting fire was swept by high winds through the bivouac site where the majority of troops were camped. Video 1: Devastation caused by the fire.
Video 2: More than a dozen CAF personnel parachuted into the Wainwright Health Centre to assist with the fire and medical response. My thoughts are with the families, and with my son, who recently joined the CAF as a Combat Engineer. These are some of the very best young people Canada has to offer. Everyone who puts on a military uniform accepts unlimited liability on behalf of the rest of us. Even during peacetime, the risks they face are very real.
Via Ed Morrissey, CBS "journalists" are complaining (anonymously, of course) that Mean Jewess Bari Weiss is forcing them to cover the actual news and report on Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's terror ties.
The scandal of it! You're not supposed to report negatively on Democrats, ever, but especially not before a major midterm election!
Notice what this leftwing propagandist does there -- he admits, tacitly, that CBS has thusfar refused to report on this at all, then complains that CBS's first article on the subject may fail to contain "new revelations." If CBS hasn't reported on it, all revelations are "new revelations" as far as their audience is concerned. But you know, Fox reported on it and doesn't that suffice?
Control of the US Senate for the next two years could come down to how much the news media chooses to focus in the final weeks of the midterms on a tweet sent years ago by the younger half-sister of Michigan's Democratic Senate candidate. In 2012, Abdul El-Sayed's half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, described "an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early '70s." Republicans and members of the media have since pressed El-Sayed, an American of Egyptian descent, to answer whether he has ties to the Islamist movement, which was founded in Egypt and whose offshoots include US-designated terrorist groups. The subject is of particular interest at CBS News, where Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss has repeatedly encouraged the network's journalists to dedicate serious resources to finding a potential link. In recent weeks, Weiss has personally advocated for CBS News journalists to pursue numerous story angles related to El-Sayed's supposed sympathy towards the Muslim Brotherhood, and was directly involved in a controversial story about his previous posts comparing the COVID-19 death toll to 9/11. She has discussed the topic on editorial calls, and tasked CBS News' investigative unit with combing through El-Sayed's background for a potential link to the organization. The network's investigative team is set to publish a story in the coming days on the subject, though two people familiar with the reporting said that as of Sunday afternoon, it was unclear whether the story will include new revelations.
"Critics say she insinuated X" with the actual statement suppressed so that the readers cannot see if she actually insinuated X. I wonder if these critics might, perhaps, be agitators for the Red-Green alliance? We don't know. The identities "critics" are helpfully suppressed. S-tier journalizming, guys. See Ed Morrissey's argument for a rundown on the El-Sayed family's many links to terrorism. Thanks to Charlie Brown's Dildo, this from the sidebar. I wanted to highlight it.
A year into a new regime at CBS News, some of the daily controversies over Weiss' management style and relations with the White House that defined the first few months have eased. But the politics of the Middle East and the conflict in Israel and Gaza -- and its echoes in American domestic politics -- remain red-hot inside the company, as a network leader with strong views on the region's dynamics has attempted to shape its coverage of stories touching its spiraling conflicts. Rank-and-file staff have clashed with editors installed by Weiss over Gaza, leaking embarrassing internal network discussions about coverage -- such as last week, when the media-focused news startup Status and Guardian media reporter Jeremy Barr reported on a clash between CBS News' London bureau and foreign editor Shayndi Raice. Weiss has taken a particularly hands-on approach to the Michigan Senate race, where campaign rhetoric has revolved around El-Sayed's Muslim faith, and whether he can win over Jewish voters in the state. The Hollywood Reporter reported last month that Weiss faced criticism internally for "overseeing an article that critics say falsely insinuated Michigan's Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed had ties to the September 11 attacks."
Israel War Room#Accurate. Speaking of the Red-Green alliance, Tim Walz refuses to take responsibility for the massive welfare piracy he deliberately permitted but says he Akshually is taking responsiblity by not running again. Except, of course, he knows he'd lose, so this is no accountability. This is just sparing himself a necessary and justified ass-beating.
@IsraelWarRoom We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.
Republicans were "emboldened" to "seize and pounce" on what will turn out to be the greatest piracy of American wealth in all of history.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lamented both how the fraud scandal in his state was handled and how it has emboldened Republicans.
"The law wouldn't let me act but I should have acted sooner." This is "taking responsibility" for a Democrat conspirator with foreign pirates.
Gov. Tim Walz took responsibility for mishandling fraud in Minnesota even as he took multiple parting shots at the Trump administration. During Friday's episode of "The Lever" podcast, Walz said that he lacked the authority to independently stop payments to suspected fraudsters and needed legislative action to obtain that authority, but nonetheless acknowledged that his administration should have acted sooner.
"The amount of fraud, like I said, $1 is too much, but the amount that has been prosecuted, and people put in jail, is less than what [President Donald Trump] is asking for his ballroom," Walz said.It's a little more than $1 dude. It's over $1 billion. Way to set attempt to mass-suggest the public into thinking this is just a tiny bit of fraud that "emboldened Republicans" are seizing and pouncing on.
Oh no, anything but that. Here is "taking responsibility" again, stating that he is not running for re-election only because Republicans will pounce and seize on his failure to act (which is completely excusable, because the law would not let him act).
When pressed further by the host about whether he was worried that the fraud allegations would continue to be damaging, Walz replied, "Yes. They undermine faith in government."
He added, "It's one of the reasons I accept responsibility for that. I think, you know, I had decided, probably after the murder of Melissa Hortman, certainly before Christmas, that we weren't going to run again because I said, 'They're going to use this to attack others and to attack the system.'" "Every state has this. Most states have far more than this," he added. "The Trump administration decided to focus on the perfect storm for them," Walz said. "'Blame Somalis.' 'Blame the guy who ran against me.' 'Blame this prosperous state that pays more money in than not and let's punish them.' But that doesn't excuse that. Should we do more? Yes. Were there things that we should have closed back doors sooner? Yes. I mean, it happened. Now we know other states are learning from us." He later said, "The problem with fraud and corruption, both of them undermine faith in government, and that plays right into Republicans' hands. Do they like fraud? I would argue they do because it undermines federal. It makes a reason to cut these programs. They hate these programs that feed children. They hate these programs that, you know, work with autistic children. So, man, what a gift to them. 'See, they don't work. It's tax dollars. Let's close them down.'"I will take responsibility by claiming the fraud is actually Republicans' fault because they like fraud. The head of the Oversight Project says that Ilhan Omar may be cooked.
Evidence of more recent false claims and schemes to continue to lie about her immigration status could be used to prove an ongoing conspiracy that defeats the statute of limitations. I think the statute of limitations runs from the date of the most recent act in furtherance of a conspiracy. I still incline towards the Nothing Will Happen Guy, but I have some very limited, guarded hopes that maybe Nothing Will Happen Guy will be proven wrong. Ugly layabout house husband who married an heiress Ro Khanna is super-psyched to promote the Red-Green Riots in Europe:
The federal raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., home prompted warnings Wednesday from a conservative watchdog leader that more revelations could be coming, as the Minnesota Democrat faces separate investigations involving her immigration records and financial disclosures. Oversight Project President Mike Howell, whose group pushed to strip a $1.031 million earmark backed by Omar, says the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) search raises broader questions about congressional accountability and what investigators may uncover next. ... "I think there's other shoes that are going to drop here," Howell told Fox News Digital. "That's why I think the Democrats really just couldn't resist the temptation to jump out of this before they saw any evidence and just circle the wagons [around Omar]," he said.
"I will say it appears they're walking that back a little bit. It has shifted from just a wholesale defense of Omar to a non-substantive defense, talking about, 'well, this stuff was old,' or 'this is political since she's Ilhan Omar.'" ... Howell pointed to what he viewed as a unique combination of circumstances -- an HSI investigation under the Trump administration, a warrant authorized by a federal judge in heavily Democratic Washington, D.C., and the proximity of the election -- as reasons he believes investigators may have substantial evidence. "They probably got the goods on her," Howell said. "You don't get a federal judge to sign off on something like this in Washington, D.C., of all places, unless there is something that is rather convincing." Jonathan Fahey, a former acting ICE director and federal prosecutor in the neighboring Eastern District of Virginia, said the timing of the HSI search raises questions about whether investigators are examining more recent documents tied to longstanding immigration allegations. "I surmise that what they may be looking for is newer things that were used with what they believe is false information," Fahey told Fox News Digital, referring to the immigration investigation.
Ro KhannaHe's running for president, but America will never elect someone this homely and grasping.
@RoKhanna From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in. In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes. In Spain, for affordable rent and housing. In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption. @JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south. He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment. The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few. This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future. In America, let us listen to our young. We need an economic and political transformation. America's Next New Deal.
Melissa Chen
@MsMelChen Let me translate what Ro Khanna's pitch is: Remember the 2020 BLM riots' death toll, firebombed buildings, looted stores and subsequent crime waves and business flight in multiple cities? Yeah, we miss that! Let's double down with higher taxes on productive capital, more redistribution, and reward youth protests so we can fund the cycle and invite more of it!
It's time to ban all funding to colleges and universities until we can find out what the hell's going on.
A former Rutgers University law student is suing the school for allegedly violating his First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and expression. According to the Cleveland Jewish News, Yiorgos Maravelias had been arrested at a May 2024 pro-Israel counter-protest for, he claims, hanging "anti-Hamas fliers" near an "anti-Israel encampment." Maravelias, a disabled veteran, said he got involved in "campus activism" shortly after Hamas' October 2023 assault against Israel, Fox News reported. He said he had set up a table next to a "vocal minority" of anti-Israel Rutgers law students to share his views about Hamas -- that they're "rapists, monsters, [and] savages." Maravelias' complaint alleges Rutgers Law administrators "disfavored" his political views and "perceiv[ed] him as Jewish" (he's not), and notes Rutgers is "home to the controversial Center for Security, Race and Rights," headed by Law Professor Sahar Aziz, whom Maravelias accuses of "ripping [down] his fliers from a bulletin board." Maravelias alleges Aziz erroneously told him that hanging his fliers "was against school policy" -- despite there being anti-Israel fliers hanging at the location.For a long time, Science claimed there were no green stars. Or no stars that look green. Stars emit many different colors of light. Those that emit more red light appear slightly reddish. (I mean, most stars look plain white but apparently you can see a slight red tinge on "red" stars.) Same with blue stars. Green stars supposedly don't exist because green light sits between red light and blue light. Even if a star's dominant color is green, it's pumping out a fair amount of red light and blue light. And what green light, red light, and blue light make when they combine is white light. So there are "green" stars. It's just that they look completely white and you'd never call them green for real. At least, that was the Old Science. The new Science says maybe there are spooky green stars after all.
The only good thing about Prometheus was the backdrop of stars in ship shots, which contained green stars. I knew (or thought I knew) that there were no green stars but I liked seeing them nevertheless. But now, who knows, maybe the worst movie ever made, Prometheus, will be hailed as visionary for predicting green stars. (Though Starcrash also featured a lot of green stars. Because its stars were straight-up Christmas tree lights. And also, the stars were not the stars of the show.)
That's possible because scientists have discovered that white dwarfs, the type of stellar remnants sun-sized stars leave behind when they die, can actually take on a range of colors including green if they snack on their rocky planets like cosmic cannibals. ... "Most stars, including most white dwarfs, behave like 'perfect radiators,' so their color is set almost entirely by temperature. But nobody had really looked into what else might be possible for white dwarfs," team leader Mark Hollands of the University of Warwick said in a statement sent to Space.com. ... In these conditions, elements like carbon, calcium, and sodium can interact with the surrounding dense helium plasma and absorb light across a wider range of colors than they would at lower densities. That shifts the colors of white dwarfs away from the white/light blue seen for a perfect radiator of heat. The researchers found that the colors of white dwarfs would fit into distinct groups tied to the individual chemical makeup of the stellar remnant's atmosphere. White dwarfs abundant in carbon should be pink or purple, while those that have been enriched with debris from consumed asteroids and comets, and the remains of old planetary systems, would take a more yellow hue. Cooler white dwarfs with mixed hydrogen and helium atmospheres often would glow cyan or pale blue, caused as hydrogen molecules collide with helium atoms in their dense atmospheres. The researchers found that some dead star white dwarfs can go a little green around the gills after snacking on orbiting planets. An example of this is WD J1330+6435, a cool white dwarf located around 326 light-years away, which has been accreting rocky material from a planetary companion. This has enriched its atmosphere with calcium, lithium, and sodium, and the team's model suggests this would have led WD J1330+6435 to adopt a green hue. But unlike the green-tinged zombies of George Romero's classic Dawn of the Dead, there are no hordes of these green-faced cosmic zombies ... yet.

CNN mentioned this. I had Chat put it into context.
What Carville actually said
Speaking to Bill Kristol on The Bulwark podcast Sunday, Carville stated:
“I would rather the Republicans keep the House by five than the Democrats to win by five.”
His concern is that a narrow Democratic majority would give the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) disproportionate influence over House Democratic leadership.
Important distinction: Carville wasn't saying he wants Republicans to win under all circumstances. He was arguing that a very narrow Democratic victory could leave party leadership dependent on its socialist wing. He would prefer a substantial Democratic majority.
Carville knows the importance of strangling the dems little DSA baby in the crib. Surprising more aren't behind that.

In re the post observation that the DSA is planning a full on coup, and in reference to James Carville’s comment that he would rather see the Republicans hold the house rather than the Dems, due to the presence of the DSA. The establishment Democrats NEED the Republican Party because of their symbiotic relationship. One does not exist without the other. The DSA are Pol Pot.

Omar was supposedly granted status here as a dependent of her "father." If he isn't a citizen, she's not either.

I think the problem for the Left of a "constitutional crisis" is that if martial law is declared, and the nation is at threat, and there is a battle, they would surely be on the losing side.
All their troops are on the federal payroll. Either collecting benefits, living off grants, working for government, or in academia. They produce nothing so they have no real assets other than a few billionaires paying NGOs, and even there it is mostly grant money from the feds.
This isn't France or Russia where you have the disposed going after the idle rich, and taking the assets of the country in the process. This is the wards of the state uprising. I think the results would come out very very different.

Rep. Ilhan Omar and her husband's winery was shut down for fraud after they apparently sold investors barrels of wine with nothing inside, according to Rep. James Comer.
"From our initial investigation of Omar and her financial disclosure form, there are multiple fronts where you could get a search warrant issued," House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer said to Fox News.
"Not only was there a huge discrepancy in the financial disclosure form, there was the winery that was the big base of her $25 million listing on her financial disclosure form."
"That winery has, according to the press, been shut down because of fraud. They were apparently selling investors barrels of wine to be aged, but there was nothing in the barrels."

Most people don't arrive at their conclusions through conscious logic and evaluation of fact. Most people get their conclusions through a combination of wish-casting, hopeful interpretation, bed-time stories and recency bias. It is a rare exception of someone to back-check their conclusions and then do the logical analysis of what the world would look like should they be mistaken.
So if you know what the world is like, it is hard to not argue with all the unenlightened that think the world is not set up to validate your conclusions.

Green stars are VERY rare. They aren't on the main-sequence. They happen after the star dies and goes white-dwarf. And then they have to gobble the exact recipe that blocks most of the light except green.
Alastair Reynolds actually made this a plot point of some of his skiffy stories. "Greenfly". Here he was proposing that aliens had created Dyson Swarms except with greenhouses.
Posted by: 88C+u at October 19, 2026 06:42 PM (88C+u)
Which is not to be confused with red dwarfs (low mass stars that still burn hydrogen/helium) and brown dwarfs (so low mass that they don't have enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion)...

Islam teaches that Allah can do whatever he wants, with no regard to a regulated or designed universe. Therefore, everything is Inshallah, not based on science or understanding. Leftists fit this mindset rather well. I expect that explains the link between the two, to both of their detriments, but particularly the western leftist, who thinks being "enlightened" means making shit up and expecting everyone to believe it. Muslims don't care how the world works, or if it works, they only care about conquest, violence and murder, and sticking their asses in the air five times a day. Leftists share that distinction, but instead of praying they post asinine signs in their yards and are pretty sure the Muzzies will eat them last.

The mysterious group who's been coordinating 50501, Indivisible, and coordinating the NoKings protests is called "United Democracy Alliance" and their intellectual leader is Erica Chenoweth who came up with the 3.5% rule of nonviolent regime change.
_______________________________
I think you'll find that the UDA and Indivisible are pretty indistinguishable. "Indivisible" was a "sub-contractor" of the State Department used internationally to push color revolutions. You'll find a rather interesting staff working there. It's grown in size because all the terminated State Dept. political hacks and Intelligence Community terminated hacks gravitated to them for employment. I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure the UDA is the executive facet of these loosely connected entities. IOW, terminated Federal Executive management types who still want to boss around the underlings. Their goal is a color revolution in the US. And DataRepublican seems to have stumbled on their blueprint somehow.

Netflix’s Narnia Is ‘Mega Woke Slop Insanity’: Development Frozen, More Firings Coming (Exclusive)
Netflix fired film chief Dan Lin over the weekend, days after chief content officer Bela Bajaria was shown the door, with Peter Rice taking over, and a rival studio source tells Cosmic Book News the shakeup is only getting started.
“Development frozen right now,” says our Paramount source. “Scripts and pitches in limbo according to one of my friends who can’t get anyone to answer the phone or email.”
The source also torched Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, the biggest movie Netflix has left on the calendar.
And more firings are coming across Hollywood, with all of it tracing back to the Paramount and Warner Bros. merger.

Maravelias' complaint alleges Rutgers Law administrators "disfavored" his political views and "perceiv[ed] him as Jewish" (he's not).[/]
Pet peeve: That little disclaimer "he's not" is irrelevant and should be omitted. It implies that if he really was Jewish then somehow the action might have been justified.
Their targeting of him because he might "look Jewish" is wrong, regardless of whether or not he actually is.

From what I saw, this collection of videos was not supposed to exist. The organizers had some sort of do not record option selected. But sometimes these sort of settings can have complicated business rules where other settings take priority. Somehow these videos were recorded anyway. It appears that in this case DataRepublican was lucky AND had the skills to capitalize on their mistake.

BREAKING: The feds are in possession of Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-MN) DNA and personal passport as part of the federal investigation into her US citizenship, colleague @davidspunt reports. It's unclear how her DNA was obtained, but sources tell David it was NOT from a trash can or dumpster.
@FoxNews is told that reports of agents dumpster diving are incorrect. Additionally, David is told the feds have her personal passport as evidence. Her official passport (via her office) has not been retrieved, and authorities aren't concerned that she fled the country. They believe she in the U.S., and feel that if she were to flee the country, it would create problems for her down the line as her husband and family members are in the US.

>>> The only good thing about Prometheus was the backdrop of stars in ship shots, which contained green stars. I knew (or thought I knew) that there were no green stars but I liked seeing them nevertheless
I finally watched Prometheus a bit ago, ready to hate it.
I...did not hate it. I don't know how to feel about that. It was creepy in a fun way and the sets were pretty.
Realize that I'm an Alien normie, and don't really care how it matches the lore of Alien. I just want it to be interesting. I will say, the one gal surviving and going to a new world, only to be killed in the following movie by the evil robot was ridiculous. That movie can burn. But Prometheus asked big sci-fi questions I had fun pondering after, separate from the lore. And set designs that stuck in my mind. But a lot of that is due to HR Giger of course.

I will say, the one gal surviving and going to a new world, only to be killed in the following movie by the evil robot was ridiculous. That movie can burn. But Prometheus asked big sci-fi questions I had fun pondering after, separate from the lore. And set designs that stuck in my mind. But a lot of that is due to HR Giger of course.

Speaking of quick hits, this story has gotten much less media attention than I would have expected. The perpetrator must be SUPER oppressed to get this kinda cover.
A National Guard member was shot in the leg late Sunday night (Oct. 1 in Southeast Washington, D.C., while attempting to break up a street fight near the Eastern Market neighborhood. The incident occurred around 11:10 p.m. in the 400 block of 8th Street SE, where seven or eight Guardsmen in a van witnessed the altercation.
The suspect, identified as Jerrell Jackson, 41, pulled out a firearm and opened fire as the troops intervened. After running into an alley and pointing the weapon at the Guardsmen, three National Guard members returned fire, striking Jackson in the abdomen. Both individuals were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries;

Isaac Asimov in his "Second Foundation" stories discussed a dictator who overthrew the Foundation government.
The first dictator was cruel and effective. The second was just cruel. The third was a stupid bureaucrat who lost to the Mule.

Re the green stars. This is something of a running joke with the nerd astrophysicist bunch. The peak of Sol's spectrum is firmly right in the middle, in the green band of the visible spectrum, and so they like to joke the sun is green, and call themselves "heliochromatologists".
There is another star, Zubeneschamali (how that's for a name), aka Beta Librae, that many amateur astronomers swear looks green, and that's a little optical trick I forget exactly how it works.

Oh, for sure Anna!! A lot of their problems could be solved by just not being stupid. Like thinking they can suddenly breathe the air. And splitting up.
One of the fun points of the game "Subnautica" is that the second you land on the planet, everything including the air and water poisons you. You have to get a mutation from a native plant/creature thing just to survive.
And there's a body replicator machine that replicates you if you die. The lore, once you get farther into playing the game, is absolutely horrific. An earlier group of explorers in the game SPOILER ALERT had to make copies of themselves to eat because they ran out of food and the animals there were poison.

Combining blue and yellow light produces white light as yellow light is a combination of red and green light. So that's all the primary colors.

I was fortunate. My ex husband loved cooking. And he was very good. I also cooked for us. It was about 60-40 him. Whoever cooked, the other one cleaned. Sometimes we cooked together.
I did all the cooking on the sailboat. He did most of the cooking while backpacking.
Meh. No complaints. I kiss a man cooking for me. I think it’s wonderful.

I think you'll find that the UDA and Indivisible are pretty indistinguishable. "Indivisible" was a "sub-contractor" of the State Department used internationally to push color revolutions. You'll find a rather interesting staff working there. It's grown in size because all the terminated State Dept. political hacks and Intelligence Community terminated hacks gravitated to them for employment. I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure the UDA is the executive facet of these loosely connected entities. IOW, terminated Federal Executive management types who still want to boss around the underlings. Their goal is a color revolution in the US. And DataRepublican seems to have stumbled on their blueprint somehow.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Is Confronted With Proof His Half-Sister Was on the Terrorist Watch List; In Response, the Muslim Manlet Just Babbles About the Patriot Act and the Surveillance State and How Poor Muslims Are Suspected of being Terroris
Is this Islamist Entryism, I wonder?
Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed acknowledged Saturday night that his sister-in-law was involved in a federal terrorist watchlist lawsuit during the Obama administration, just days before former President Barack Obama is scheduled to campaign alongside him. El-Sayed was confronted by Fox News senior correspondent Mike Tobin about court documents identifying his sister-in-law, Mariam Jukaku, as a plaintiff in a 2016 lawsuit challenging her alleged placement on the federal Terrorism Screening Database, commonly known as the terrorist watchlist. "There's reporting in a lawsuit that now backs it up. And documentation with the lawsuit that Mariam Jukaku, who's your sister-in-law, that she was on the terrorist watch list?" Tobin asked. "Yeah," El-Sayed responded.Oh, Obama and John Brennan took her off the list. That's very reassuring to me.
El-Sayed then defended his sister-in-law, insisting she had committed no wrongdoing and turning his criticism toward Republican Senate rival Mike Rogers. "She did nothing wrong and was captured on that and then sued and got off," El-Sayed said. "You've got this system where folks are guilty until proven innocent because they've got different kinds of names, because of the infrastructure that people like Mike Rogers set up." The exchange comes as Obama prepares to campaign alongside El-Sayed in Michigan on Oct. 24, ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm election. According to the 2016 complaint, Jukaku underwent additional airport screening in 2012, and alleged she was never told why she had been flagged. The filing said she was believed to have been removed from the watchlist by 2016.
... Despite El-Sayed's claim that she sued and won, a federal appeals court overturned a ruling favoring the plaintiffs in 2021, while a separate lawsuit seeking damages was dismissed in 2017. The FBI said it does not confirm or deny individuals' watchlist status. "It is the U.S. government's policy to neither confirm nor deny a person's inclusion in the Terrorist Screening Dataset, commonly known as the terrorist watchlist," the agency told Fox News. The exchange follows separate allegations about El-Sayed's family's purported Muslim Brotherhood connections, which his campaign called "racist and untrue."
Reporter: “Your sister in law was on a Terrorist Watch list”
Abdul El-Sayed: “Mike Rogers and his Flock camera and his Patriot Act and his surveillance state” https://t.co/tDRk8DsdUi— DSA Watch (@DSA_Watch) October 18, 2026
Left-wing Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is being slammed over a resurfaced Columbia University research paper he authored with a "racist and eugenics outcome" that concluded Arab women should only breed with their own kind for optimal health outcomes. El-Sayed -- who has repeatedly called himself a physician though he never completed his medical school residency -- warned in the 2011 paper published in the "Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health" of the hazards of "interethnic mating" -- which he insisted increased the risk of children being born premature. "Our findings suggest that interethnic mating may be associated with increased risk for adverse birth outcomes among Arab ethnicity mothers," he stated, back then going by Abdulrahman M. El-Sayed.I'm feeling so culturally enriched you guys Here's the funny thing: He got a government NIH grant to argue that Arabs must keep their bloodlines pure and not mate with whites. If I were to agree with his taxpayer funded anti-miscegenation paper, I'd be drummed out of society. He gets a government grant, I'd get put on an FBI watchlist. Isn't Science magic? Some schmolling news.
El-Sayed began the paper, titled "Interethnic mating and risk for preterm birth among Arab American mothers," with the bold claim that Arab mothers, "a growing ethnic group," have "systematically better birth outcomes" than white mothers.
He said American Arab women were 16% less likely than white women to give birth prematurely, citing his own research from 2008, while omitting to mention that same study found the gap disappeared after adjusting for maternal and socioeconomic factors. The research, funded in part by NIH grants, concluded that Arab women having children with white men was linked to 18% higher odds of preterm birth -- below 37 weeks -- and 24% higher odds of late preterm birth -- between 34 and 36 weeks -- compared to having a child with an Arab father. The study found no statistically significant difference in very preterm birth, before 32 weeks, based on whether the father was Arab or white, but didn't spend much ink dwelling on that finding. Critics savaged the paper as pseudoscience. "This is 'science' with "a pre-ordained racist & eugenics outcome," wrote Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) on X. "Scary stuff." Others wondered what the radical Democrat's real motivation was to even research the topic. "Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's scientific research is...odd. Arab mothers who engage in 'interethnic mating' have worse birth outcomes than those who mate with Arab men?" ripped John David Haltigan, an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Buckingham. "Why research this?"

In case you missed it late last week, an old paper has been dug up in which Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed argued that Arab women should avoid Racial Miscegenation and only breed with Arab men.
Now this is a serious offense. He's impeding my constitutional right to get busy with ethnic chicks.

Hmmmmph....I just did a little digging to see how prevalent money laundering is in the wine trade.
Apparently, it is the primary industry used for money laundering because vintages are fluid and change quite a bit (rapidly). That way, you can sneak it past the bank's fraud sniffers providing more flexibility to the fraudster. You can over-invoice and under-invoice, and a bank will have a hard time finding any discrepancy. Plus négociants, brokers, private bonded warehouses, and international borders allow cover on nailing down the value of a single shipment.
Omar was laundering money. It's a pretty good bet. But, what specific money was she laundering?

So Islam makes Allah into a pimp.

I think it's one thing to point out blatant fraud, or illegalities perpetrated by the left.
It's quite another to expect any recriminations. Especially with a judiciary clearly aligned with the left.
One, does not necessarily lead to the other. Which is a problem.

44 Hmmmmph....I just did a little digging to see how prevalent money laundering is in the wine trade.
Apparently, it is the primary industry used for money laundering because vintages are fluid and change quite a bit (rapidly). That way, you can sneak it past the bank's fraud sniffers providing more flexibility to the fraudster. You can over-invoice and under-invoice, and a bank will have a hard time finding any discrepancy. Plus négociants, brokers, private bonded warehouses, and international borders allow cover on nailing down the value of a single shipment.

Muzzies are only suspected of being terrorists because they perform 99% of all the terror acts in the world. Those 99% give the rest of the muzzies a bad name.

>>So why didn't they charge her with mishandling a gov. document or something trivial? I think her crimes are so big and so obvious that they knew no judge would accept it.
Just a guess but I think they wanted the whole issue to die.
This is just one little part of a much bigger web of fraud and there were a lot of people in DC getting paid, not just Omar.
Plus, where did some of the money go? It's long been rumored that some of it ended up with al Shabab. Probably not a good look for a Democrat Congresswoman to be funding Islamic terrorists with our tax dollars.

The exchange follows separate allegations about El-Sayed's family's purported Muslim Brotherhood connections, which his campaign called "racist and untrue."

Ah. The magic word 'racist'.
One wonders why a simple, provable fact would be 'racist'?

I believe all 24 were on the list.

Two Christian (?) Groups Were Paid $62 Million by the Biden Thugocracy to Settle Somalis in Minnesota
Weird how the left is willing to pay money to some "religious" groups for some purposes.
Chadwick Moore:Say, who usurped the government in 2021?
Two church non-profits have taken in at least $62 million to build the Somali community in Minnesota -- leading to the rise of Ilhan Omar and the fraud scandals that have gripped that state, The Post can reveal. Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services were at the forefront of reshaping the frigid Land of 10,000 Lakes thanks to generous government contracts stemming back generations. "This is a very big pile of government money and a whole bunch of different groups have come to get their own slice of it," Parker Thayer, an immigration expert at the Washington, DC-based Capital Research Center, told The Post. He added the total money pouring into Minneapolis resettlement programs alone is "in the hundreds of millions." He noted that since 2021, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, the body overseeing Catholic Charities, has received $140 million in migrant resettlement contracts from the federal government.
"It is hurting the ability of these organizations to fundraise in arguably more important areas of their work. I imagine a lot of donors are being pushed away by something that is very reasonably viewed as highly controversial by a lot of people," Thayer said. Before Minnesota became Somali central, it was known as the Hmong hub. The state first became a test ground for a Vietnam-era resettlement program -- with powerful advocacy from then-Vice President Walter Mondale and Minnesota's Democrat governor Al Quie, according to local historians. ... Mondale then headed the US delegation to the United Nations in 1979, where he delivered a speech which helped secure international commitments to resettlement, framing the crisis in moral terms by comparing it to a failure to protect Jewish refugees before and during World War II. Within a couple years, the Twin Cities' Hmong population was in the thousands. Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services -- the latter now called Global Refuge -- had built an extensive resettlement operation as far back as World War II to help Christians displaced from war-torn Europe, so were a natural go-for the federal government to help with its mass resettlement.Completely, totally, transcendantally unrelated: the EU Parliament actually voted to condemn the Muslim Brotherhood and object to "Islamist entryism" into the West.
During World War II, however, their operations were largely funded from the pews, not Uncle Sam, said Kelsey Reinhardt, president and CEO of the nonprofit advocacy group CatholicVote. "I don't think there's a recognition of how generous the US has been," she told The Post. ... When Somalia was thrown into civil war in the 1990s and the US decided to take in refugees, the Minnesota operation was already an established, well-oiled machine. The two church groups have resettled an estimated 29,000 Somalians into Minnesota since 1993, collecting a reported $2,500 per refugee to cover costs like food, initial housing and social workers. The population today is over 100,000 in Minnesota according to data, thanks to chain migration (also known as "family reunification") and the state's generous welfare system, which became a magnet for Somalis, including those initially placed elsewhere in the US. "They picked Minnesota because it had extremely generous state social safety net policies and welfare programs, which of course made resettling refugees there easier," Thayer said. "Refugees from Somalia then moved to Minnesota after they were resettled elsewhere, in places like South Dakota. "A lot of these people, while claiming to be refugees, you look at their Facebook pages, or you look at indictments and find that they routinely travel out of the US back to the place they are supposedly a refugee from," he added. The Biden administration oversaw the largest jump in living memory of migrant resettlement operations. Minnesota has been a flashpoint in the controversial effort, where a gob-smacking $9 billion in estimated welfare fraud, largely stemming from the Somali community, was uncovered in the last year -- speculated to be the largest welfare scam in the history of the US.
I don't know how they mean the term "entryism" but the context I've heard it in regards SJW entryism. It's the scripted process of taking over an organization by agitating first for "just some more diverse members," then demanding not just a more diverse membership but a more diverse leadership, then changing the rules that that only SJWs can serve in leadership, then changing the rules so that only SJWs can even be members. It's a textbook playbook for capturing an organization, outlawing the former leaders and members of that organization, and then turning that organization completely against its old goals and towards the goal of further SJW propaganda and subversion of other institutions. I assume they mean it the same way, but in regards to Islamists invading, subverting, and ultimately taking over countries.
Following the sanctioning of foreign Muslim Brotherhood groups by the Trump administration, the European Parliament recently took its own action against the transnational radical Islamist group. As Europe begins to respond to the threat of radical Islam across the continent, an overwhelming majority of the European Parliament voted for a resolution that condemned the Muslim Brotherhood and its actions. European Parliament member Céline Imart of France, who sponsored the resolution, called the vote "a historic victory because it is a European first. For the first time, Europe has voted on a text that tackles Islamist entryism and the Muslim Brotherhood."
... Lorenzo Vidino, director of the program on extremism at George Washington University, told Fox News Digital that, "This is something that the French and the Austrian governments have been pushing for almost a decade," noting a growing consensus across Europe that wants action.You don't say.
The resolution was led by the European People's Party, or EPP, a center-right coalition that is the largest group in the European Parliament. "The voting does reflect a gap between the right and the left," said Vidino, "with the right voting almost entirely in favor of the resolution, and a good part of the left, although with some notable exceptions, voting against it."
... Vidino said, "The Brotherhood remains something that is seen through the political lenses of our own political debates, where it shouldn't be... because it's a challenge to our societies." A press release on the resolution issued by the European Parliament's news website stated that Islamist entryism targets "democratic institutions, the rule of law, equality between women and men and fundamental freedoms." It stressed that Muslim citizens must be protected from discrimination as "a democratic obligation," while "warning against treating organized Islamist networks as representative interlocutors." The release also stated, "While Europe must remain free, open and faithful to its principles, it can 'no longer fund, consult or legitimize networks that use its language, procedures and funding to weaken its values from within,'" but "MEPs stress that anti-discrimination policies must not be used to shield Islam from criticism or legitimize organized Islamist networks."From August 25: Denmark's left-wing PM warns of a "big enemy" growing in Europe due to unlimited immigration.
Denmark's left-wing prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has sent shock waves throughout the European left after recent comments about the Scandinavian nation's -- and the continent's -- failure to deal with radical Islam among migrant communities. Her comments come after the mass migration chaos in the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, when Frederiksen criticized the actions of Spain's leftist leader, Pedro Sánchez, during a special session on Ceuta in the Danish Parliament. Responding to a question from a far-left legislator on Denmark's apparent lack of "solidarity" with Spain against "anti-democratic forces" pressuring Europe, Frederiksen said, "If we talk about undemocratic forces, then Russia is our biggest enemy. The problem is that a big enemy has started to grow from within, and it is foreigners who have come to Europe," according to an English translation.
While not singling out Denmark's integrated immigrant population, she continued, "It is Hamas supporters. It is people who commit terror against European societies. It is people who do not recognize our fundamental European values. It is people who sympathize with some of the darkest forces in this world. So, Europe is threatened. The problem is that we are threatened both from outside and now from within, but it is not because of a disagreement between the Danish and Spanish governments, but because of people with an Islamic background who do not want the open, free European society, unfortunately." Sweden-based foreign policy expert and author Daniel Schatz told Fox News Digital, "What is striking is not that a conservative politician is talking about illegal immigration, failed integration and Islamist extremism, it is that one of Europe's leading center-left prime ministers is saying it in such blunt terms. That tells you how far the European immigration debate has shifted."

There's some irony here. I'm sure the attached requirement on the money they accepted to place Somali immigrants was tied to the Catholic Church making a killing on the USAID. I believe the final result of USAID being nixed was the Catholic Church terminating something like 75% of the personnel in their Catholic Relief Services program.
That was quite the deal on USAID. The US taxpayer financed the "altruistic" Catholic Church so that they could advertise all their good deeds in the Church's name without acknowledging who was footing the bill.

To be fair to the Catholic charity, they resettle everyone that the feds ask to be resettled. Unlike many groups who flatly refused to do so, they have stepped up to resettle the Afrikaners that Trump is bringing in...yes, receiving state money to do so (since there is no more direct federal money, or wasn't at the intial time this started - it's now be appropriated for this resettlement, but not sure how it will be spent).

Y'know, it's not exactly an honor for the Jews to be used as human shields to cover their own eventual exclusion from society in favor of their most merciless contemporary enemies. Just saying.

Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services are the two biggest resettlement orgs.
This is another thing I blame on Bush II.
W., you'll all remember, had the bright idea of "Faith Based Initiatives".
These partnerships between fedgov and these religious charities were implemented because "the church can do the job better than the government, and often saving the taxpayer money" or some such line.
Which sounded great, and made some sense at the time.
So they started doing this in W.'s first term, with a great portion of that Faith Based Initiative money going to Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services and other groups like them - Jewish and Muslim orgs doing the same things.

In a video created by Glenn Beck featuring research by DataRepublican Glenn points out that organizations like Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services might best be called "funding partners" for other like-minded organizations because they have enormous infrastructure in place to manage the finances and other paperwork required to secure the government grants.
Neither organization was mentioned in Glenn's video (he was focused on DSA-connected orgs), but I could absolutely see how these two organizations fit into that paradigm.

"Catholic Charities...."
They had a huge contract for southern Texas during the biden illegal flood of 2021 through 2025, especially in the El Paso area. I read a couple of articles that claimed they were banking over $1,500 per illegal after their expenses were met to house, clothe and feed them before they were sent on to other places in the US

They certainly know how to burn down Notre Dame as they've done it before. There was video of a islamic man in white on the roof early during the fire. It started in the roof by a cig or electronic circuit. I think during "construction" but that's from memory. Ancient dry beams caught fire like paper, aided with a crap alarm system, and too late to save her structure. At least one rose window escaped and they moved other artifacts. Very sad and I'm glad I saw it three times before this.
Erasing culture is their thing. They want to do this so future jihad generations of cockroaches won't remember the Christian/Jew art and architecture and culture which they had no part of while they had sex with goats.
Macron has never had control. At the first sign of police being overwhelmed, with the exception of blue cities or MN, National Guard or military troops would take care of this quickly in the USA.
Meanwhile, in France, spreading to Italy, different radical groups merge like amoebas to burn, loot and the potential to kill anyone or anything in their way.
It is probably too late, however I still pray Christians and Jews will rise up and fight the invasion of the barbarians.

The Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a bid by a Democratic-appointed member of the National Labor Relations Board to challenge the legality of her firing by President Donald Trump. The justices turned away former NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling that said the Republican president’s January 2025 firing of her was a valid exercise of executive authority.

Yea, that was the entire picture people had in their minds about where this money was going. To give money to churches and religious charities to help Americans in ways the church has always helped.
And maybe some money went to that.
But a huge chunk of money went to resettlement charities and here we are. They turned it into a continuous process so they can keep getting money from the government and we got millions of refugees from across the Third World.

Not apolitical at all…
Statement from Cardinal DiNardo re: President Trump’s Immigration Policies
Today President Donald Trump made several announcements which deeply concern me. These include issuing an executive order to construct a wall at the U.S./Mexico border, significantly increasing immigrant detention and deportation, and preempting the judgment of state and local law enforcement on how best to protect their communities.
The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is committed to an immigration policy that protects human rights, dignity and the homeland at the same time. Over the years, we have seen first-hand the suffering caused by a broken immigration system. We have witnessed the pain, fear and heartache of people who have come to us, who have to live among us in the shadows of society. Many have suffered exploitation in the workplace, lived under the constant threat of deportation and bore the weight of the fear of possible separation from their family members and friends.
As Archbishop of a Texas diocese, I believe that the order to construct a wall along our border with Mexico will only make migrants more susceptible to traffickers and smugglers – putting their lives…

Here’s the kicker for Christian groups. Take it away Grok;
“ Christians in Somalia face severe abuse, including physical violence, execution, and social persecution. The country ranks second on the 2026 World Watch List for Christian persecution, behind only North Korea, with a Christian population estimated at only hundreds of believers.”
And let’s not forget the Jews;
“ There is essentially no Jewish community in Somalia today. A 1949 report stated "no Jews left in Italian and British Somaliland," and the last remaining Jews were deported in 1967 after the Six-Day War. A few crypto-Jewish families (Yemenite/Adenite descent) reportedly lived in Mogadishu until roughly the mid-2000s under constant threat from Al-Shabaab, but they have since disappeared.”
Wow. Wonder why their fundraising is hurting.

Caption for one of the photos in that Chadwick Moore article:
A young boy prays as women line up in prayer during the funeral for five women killed in a car crash on Lake Street, at the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, Minn., on June 19, 2023.
-------------------
Dad's a former Dem state rep/BLM leader:
A Brooklyn Park man convicted of killing five young women in a 2023 high-speed crash was sentenced Thursday morning to more than 58 years in prison.
In June, a Hennepin County jury found Derrick Thompson guilty on all charges, including five counts of third-degree murder and 10 counts of criminal vehicular homicide.
Thompson’s defense claimed he was not the driver. On Thursday, however, after friends and family members of the dead women offered heartbreaking statements about the lives lost and the enormous grief that remains, he acknowledged being behind the wheel.
Thompson, the 29-year-old son of former DFL state Rep. John Thompson, had rented a Cadillac Escalade SUV at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on June 16, 2023 and was driving it at more than 100 miles per hour when he exited Interstate 35W and crashed into a sedan on Lake Street.

I suppose we have done a little of the divide and conquer technique by "encouraging" parts of Islam to rebel against the Iranian Muslims (starting with Iraq?). But the Saudis, UAE or Qatar will probably never be "Western" other than selling us their oil, and playing in our stock markets.

There is no "radical" islam. It's just islam, the same as it's been for 1400 years, including the last time they invaded.
The only reliable response is to drive them all out, along with anyone who gave them aid and comfort.

I won’t leave the Catholic Church. I will stay and fight. That’s what I do. It’s who I am.
BTW Catholic Charities is neither Catholic or a charity. It is an ideological group using the churches name as currency.
“Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.”
Psalm 35:1

And for the record, I don’t think Catholics who remain in the church are bad, or wrong. They need to make decisions that align with their own values. I will always defend against ridiculous false claims against the Catholic church just as much as I will criticize them for all the reasons I left.
I have found a church home that aligns with my values and beliefs in both words and actions, I am happier for it. But I do remember that nothing is perfect, as all churches are run by men.

Before WWII Christians assisted refugees, not the US government with grants.
Another another gift to the USA from Jimmah for the grants (which Trump stopped).
In distant history I think individual religious groups/missionaries would help war torn countries in hopes of conversion as well as assisting. To have people drawn to Christianity's love, kindness and caring of strangers. Because of federal funding, they are strictly prohibited from proselytizing
Like Somolians are going to convert to Christianity! Right?! Become Dim voters on welfare and we will pay into perpetuity for this vote!
I look forward to the next SOTU and hope President Trump gives a review of deep cuts of the budget, riddled with fraud, corruption and kickbacks.
There are Christians in Iran and other ME countries, practicing their faith in secret to avoid detection and prosecution. To be caught as an infidel you will die. Rescue them!

If you haven't written a letter or spoken to your pastor and told him he was wrong at least once in your adult life, you're probably doing Catholicism wrong b/c priests and all of us are sinners and as likely to be wrong as anyone else.
I remember getting policies overturned in a week...twice...
One was "let the children come to me" when a priest wanted parents to remove disruptive kids and leave them home. That was rescinded in bulletin language.
One was that the Catholic faith did not require that we support local government budget usage/increases for welfare purposes. Got that change spoken at the pulpit.
Two different pastors in 2 different states...and I have also failed in getting things changed, but they mattered less...

These are just private religiously affiliated charities getting big government checks on the regular for however many refugees get sent them.
Posted by: SpeakingOf
Not really. The religious organizations are responsible for those sponsorships and they could obviously put out disclaimers or even legal action against those immigrant groups if they wanted to.
We should require all sponsors of refugees to permanently be on the hook for financial liability if the refugee turns to welfare and/or crime. You bring em, you are on the hook financially. No different than child support really. Both involve voluntary actions and require responsibility and duties if things go pear shaped.
Enough of privatizing benefits and socializing losses to society.

He has never been in control of the streets until the riots ended. This was the largest, by far, of any of the previous riots.
The French Fifth Republic is kinda wobbly lately, no thanks to the feckless Macron (he reminds me of Obama), and we may witness the birth of the French Sixth Republic or a Civil War and it becomes the Alegerian-Morrocan People's Republic at some point.

Those of us in or near Minnesota have known since the 90s about the Lutherans coming up with the genius idea of importing a group of desert-dwelling Third-Worlders into the frigid prairie that *had* First World infrastructure. And you know what? The Lutheran churches are now sparsely attended, so this overture did not bring in new congregants.

That might not have been a failure by the "Lutherans" who did the work. They might have wanted to remove an ideology from the competition there.

One of my favorite of the many bizarre things in Ceausescu regime was the churches in Bucharest.
He was a fanatical Communist and hated religion in all forms. But Romania is so heavily Christian that he eventually recognized the Orthodox churches when he needed to galvanize nationalist sentiment after breaking from the USSR.
He still despised Christianity so much that, at yuuuge expense, he had them jacked up and moved away from his motorcade route, and boxed in with apartment towers so he wouldn't have to see them when driving around.

And that in a nutshell is why a lot of young people going into ministry end up burned out and hating religion. It becomes a endless fundraising campaign and many of the same metrics used in business like butts in the seat and total donations are tracked by hierarchy. And then the big donors demand a bigger say in running the church and staffing it along with message control, etc. etc.
And that doesn't matter what the denomination is. Endless calls to get bigger, build more infrastructure requiring more donations to keep the roof overhead and lights on, more donations to keep up with other churches, etc.
Paul's example, where he worked as an itinerant tent maker from place to place and living solely from willing, not solicited, contributions by believers looks pretty good at building a church.
FWIW, the early churches got started in part because synagogues were not exclusively religious in the beginning--they were as much community centers as they were for religious worship. We seem to left that behind

As a Christian I want to apologize for the behavior of some very ignorant, credulous peoples in my faith who have good intentions but excessive empathy. The feminization of Christianity is one of the worst evils of the 20th century. I blame the revival movement and those Godawful "Jesus is my boyfriend" songs like In The Garden.

Obama: Omar investigation should ‘outrage all Americans’
Any decent American sees this for what it is, Trump has become obsessed over the years with anyone who dares to even contradict him.
He is obsessed with Minnesota because we did not welcome his brown shits with open arms and madder still because an "uppity" woman of color dared to call him what he truly is.
1/3 of the country knows it’s BS and they love it anyway. Nothing is off limits to MAGA, as long as they’re hurting the ‘right people’.
I'm tired of being outraged. I'm just counting down the days until midterms when we actually might be able to do something about it.
If this was such a serious issue it wouldn't have waited so long for it to come under public scrutiny.
It's just the tactic they use like all the trump talking points about Biden committing crimes and only using them as talking points.
If they ever had anything actionable that would affect their opponents they would be doing more than talking.

"Macron has seen at least six major protests, movements and looters run riot since 2017. He has never been in control of the streets until the riots ended."
But was he "in control" of allowing (promoting) the riots (at the behest of his globalist owners)? that was the point I unartfully was making.

The liability is enormous if the claim holds. Good for Crowder for pursuing it. It’s bad enough that CNN and Talarico mislead the public. It’s worse that they take someone else’s brand to do it.

Mainline and traditional Protestant denominations in the U.S. are experiencing a wave of contractions, with roughly 200 Lutheran churches closing or disbanding each year (totaling around 1,000 congregations over the past five years.
Aging demographics of members. High maintenance costs of many large, historic church buildings with high utilities, insurance and roofing costs. No $ left for full-time pastors or youth ministry. Generations in small towns moved away. Increased internal disagreement over social stances, Biblical authority, etc.
The Roman Catholic Church is experiencing a major contraction, having closed or consolidated over 600 parishes in 2022 and 2023 along. Since 2000, the church has shuttered more than 2,000 U.S. parishes.
The total # of self-identifying American Catholics is relatively stable, it's anchored by the growing Hispanic population.
There's a severe shortage of priests, aging demographics and falling general membership, along with high concentration of closures in the Northeast & Midwest.
Sunbelt dioceses are growing quickly.
The ongoing financial settlements from alleged clergy sexual abuse scandal(s) are also continuing.

I grew up in FFx Co. Va in the 70s-80's. Lots of Vietnamese refugees but also Koreans and some Chinese. Quite a few kids changed their Asian names to something American when they got into high school or shortly after. They could all speak English to some degree by the time they graduated and they all graduated. They had a great thing going and they knew it. They were also excepted quite well because they were happy to be American.

The French president has a lot more power over government than our Presidents. He's not your usual parliamentary system's 'President' who does nothing more than break tie votes.
The French president is more like an elected king in their system.

Reading comments above...everyone needs to search and find a church that fits their beliefs.
I became Catholic this past spring after a lifetime of conservative (PCA) Presbyterian faith going back to the Church of Scotland and 1700's. We found a church here after we moved. Small. Nice pastor,etc. Some people loved the casualness, the non-traditional (really bad) music. It distracted me from worship along with the same people getting up during a sermon to get more coffee. A clique of new Christians, drawn to this worship and that's fine. I'm a traditionalist.
In the Deep South you can still find good churches that have not gone to praise music only. Old historical hymns
My sons and husband are musicians. One son was a professional jazz musician. Bad music hurts our ears and souls.
I never, ever thought I'd be a Catholic after marrying one who converted to Presbyterian. Yet here I am.
Because the huge church we attend is grounded in faith and the Word of God. Conservative from what I've seen, and I checked it out for six months.
I am thankful and have found worship and peace. That's what is important to me along with beautiful music.
The church you seek is out there.

Philadelphia is under such strain, Archbishop Nelson Pérez's newest strategic plan is for individual county regions to get centralized support hubs.
Rather than closing additional parishes in the area, this hub works to deploy full-time missionaries and pool collaborative resources to support surrounding active communities.
Our parish and a few others are sharing both clergy and regional resources to navigate the Archdiocese's personnel shortages. The broader clergy teams cross over to help cover liturgies, confessions, and sacramental needs.
Our parish is wonderful. The priest makes no bones that $ is needed. He makes and sells seafood salad. There are cheesesteaks on certain Friday nights and raffles & community drives for baby bottles, diapers, baby clothing for single mothers & also aid for the needy. Any family sending a child to Catholic school is eligible for financial assistance. There's teen programs featuring basketball leagues, get togethers, etc.
The local K to 8th grade school my kids attended is no more. Most of those elementary school functions have also been consolidated into regional schools.
Look around Philly area to see what religion is growing.

The UK's Censorship Police, Prevent, Harass Woman For "Over-Identifying with Israel," Visiting That Country
What is Prevent? Google AI:
Prevent is a UK government-led, multi-agency counter-terrorism strategy designed to stop vulnerable people from being drawn into terrorism or extremist ideologies.In reality, Prevent was created as a "counter-terrorism" organization and then very quickly mutated by the hard left into a pro-terrorism organization that is chiefly interested in harassing the Enemies of Islam. The woman they decided to harass and accuse of being too "vulnerable" to read the news is not Jewish herself, just a supporter of that besieged nation. Prevent decided that she is "over-identifying" with Israel and might be led astray by Evil Jewish Propaganda. Gee I wonder if there are any people of a different religion in the UK who might "over-identify" with a foreign country and consume propaganda pumped out by that regime? Might there be an entire global left-wing movement to falsely claim a "genocide" so that a barbaric foreign country can continue to murder and rape without military consequence? Nah. It's probably just these turbulent Jews.
Mother referred to Prevent for 'over-identifying with Israel' Holly Passmore says police asked why she was interested in 'Jewish issues' and described the postgraduate student as 'vulnerable'Wow -- that supportive, huh?
When Holly Passmore heard a knock at her front door at about 11am on July 4 last year, she assumed it was an Amazon delivery. Instead, the 44-year-old mother-of-two from County Durham found two plain-clothes police officers on her doorstep wanting to know why she had recently visited Israel.
"They said it was a safeguarding matter," recalled Ms Passmore, who cares for her nine-year-old son, Rex, who has severe autism, while studying for a master's degree. She assumed they were concerned she had taken her son into a war zone. "I said, 'Well, my son didn't go to Israel. He stayed here with my mum and my daughter, who's 20'," she recalled. But the female officer replied: "No this is about you -- because you may be at risk of manipulation." Ms Passmore suspected her support for Israel had prompted the referral. It was only months later, when she obtained police records through a subject access request, that her suspicions were confirmed. A police intelligence report seen by The Telegraph reveals that the referral said she "over-identified with the conflict between Israel and Palestine" and was "supportive of Israel to the point that she has travelled to Israel".
It also described her as having "MH" -- meaning mental health -- issues and being "vulnerable to negative influence". "Nobody would describe me as vulnerable," said Ms Passmore, who is reading Holocaust studies at the University of Haifa. 'They only asked about Israel' Ms Passmore said that, while she has health concerns, including severe endometriosis and adenomyosis, and has been diagnosed with ADHD and autism, she has no mental health issues. "They knew I'm not vulnerable but they wanted to monitor me because I was advocating for Israel," she told The Telegraph. "When they came to the door they didn't discuss my health. They only asked about Israel." The police intelligence report Ms Passmore obtained under data protection laws acknowledged that there "is no CT [counter-terror] concern with an individual being supportive of Israel as a democracy and it would not be a CT concern for a person to travel there". ... Ms Passmore is not Jewish, but after the Oct 7 massacre in 2023, she increasingly used her account to speak out against anti-Semitism and to express solidarity with Jewish people. Which is why, when the Israeli embassy invited her to come to Israel, she accepted. The trip included a visit to Kfar Aza, a kibbutz attacked by Hamas terrorists on Oct 7, where Emily Damari, the British hostage, was abducted. Three days after the police visit, on July 7, she lodged a complaint, which brought two more officers, one a superintendent, to her door. "They said that, clearly, I'm not a terrorist," she recalled, explaining they were keen to reassure her that police did not consider her a threat or an extremist in any way.
"I thought that was strange at the time. You don't usually end up with a superintendent on your couch." ...
She also alleges that the superintendent urged her to stop discussing the case online. By then, her experience had attracted widespread attention online, helped by Darren Grimes, a local Reform UK councillor, and David Collier, a journalist and campaigner.

A police intelligence report seen by The Telegraph reveals that the referral said she "over-identified with the conflict between Israel and Palestine" and was "supportive of Israel to the point that she has travelled to Israel".
She should be worried about the informant around her who ratted her out to the cops for supporting the Jews.

I went on and on here during Occupy Wall Street explaining what was meant by the Left when they said target "bankers" and that open Jew hatred would follow close behind. I was told of course that I'm a fucking idiot and that Jews are super important to Democrats for votes and money etc and that it will never happen.
I do get told the things I say will happen will never happen a lot but I guess that's the nature of incrementalism. It's hard to convince many people of anything that is too many clicks away.
Bottom line is they weren't even hiding it during Occupy, way back in 2011.

May I take this opportunity of emphasizing that I didn't urge her to stop discussing the case online, not at all. And when I say I didn't urge her to stop discussing the case online, I mean there was a certain amount of urging, more than I personally admit.

>>> Heh. I can tell you don't watch British cozy mysteries. They ALWAYS invite officers in for tea and blab to them. It is the English way. How else do you further the plot in a mere 50 minutes. No one was to see court proceedings to demand witnesses testify.

I love Columbo, but I rewatched the episode where he goes to London and nabs the two actors for murdering their producer. (Starring the lovely Pussy Galore!) And yeah, if they had just pled the 5th, or whatever Britain has, and asked immediately for a lawyer, Columbo wouldn't have had a case. But it was fun.

An Italian woman scolds police for using force on migrant rioters, saying officers should treat them like everyone else and just ask for ID.
Seconds later, one of the rioters throws an explosive toward her and the police.
She then hides behind the officers.
Um, let's not talk about this one m'kay? Or the last million of these...

I saw a video over weekend of some moron westerner ("like and subscribe") going to the Buddha of Bamiyan (sp?) as tourist. They had a guy on a shack collecting tickets for tourists to see the monument they had destroyed.
They could do a whole film showing the future of Europe with muzzlim monsters sitting in shacks and charging to see the destroyed monuments.

I was working down on Pine St (crosses Wall St right at the financial center area) when Occupy WS was going on. I was mostly hippies and college kids banging on drums and smelling up the place. It was hard to believe that they were doing anything substantial other than wasting away an afternoon mugging for the TV cameras. My buddies and I used to walk past on the way to lunch, and right at the edge of the encampment shout "FREE PIZZA AND HOT DOGS FOR EVERYONE!!!". And then, nochalantly look around like we were trying to determine who shouted. All the ingrates would stand up craning their necks to see if they could get free fook. It was fun.

Zuccotti Park. I went down there a few times during OWS just for shits and giggles. I was surprised how small the "occupation" was, given how much it was pimped by media.
Seemed like maybe a few dozen repulsive, filthy, and almost certainly mentally-ill degenerates. At least half were tripping balls on heavy drugs.
There were more reporters and gawkers and tourists there taking pictures than actual occupiers.

I suppose the good news is that all the constables and bobbies that work for the UK have their pensions, which means strong documentation of where they worked, when they worked, and how long they worked.
Documentation for who was aiding and abetting foreign invaders into the UK. Because all of them are guilty. The Nuremberg trials will look like a high-school mock debate when their crimes are laid out - letting children be raped wile pensioners were robbed and murdered; instead going after thought crime and speech crime (one-way, of course). These jack-booted bobbies should be welded into gibbet cages, like pirates of old. At least they'll die peacefully and painlessly of thirst, or so they told us about Terri Schiavo.

Like many of the nations in Europe, France has a law enforcement entity we do not have in the USA. In Italy they call it the Carabinieri, in France it is the Gendarmerie Nationale.
They are ~a branch of the French armed forces with the mandate to ensure law and order by enforcing civil law with territorial units, mobile anti-riot units, etc.
The French have over 100,000. Adjusted for population, that would be as if the federal government had 500,000 uniformed and militarized police.
For reference, there are only ~325,000 Army National Guard members in the USA, and only a percentage of them are trained for security operations like we see in DC today.
Where are the French Gendarmerie in Paris, Limoges, Marseilles? For that matter, where is the Italian Carabinieri in Milan where the French condition is spreading?
The answer is: ordered to remain in their barracks because the governments refuse to do their baseline mission: protect the people from disorder.

When Chevy Chase got that power from nuclear waste in Modern Problems, he used his power to punish a guy trying to put the move on his woman and to give his woman an orgasm.
And Chevy is an asshole IRL and in the film.

Likewise to be fair, women did a lot of the heavy lifting during that conflict to manufacture war materiel and keep the US afloat at home. My grandmother learned drafting for Boeing in Seattle and was paid just about half of what men were making for the same work. She did it gladly, and she volunteered as aircraft lookout twice a week, while raising five kids, one of whom was a Type I diabetic and needed a constant special diet.
Just as there are moral and upstanding men (thank God), there are as many moral and upstanding women.
If folks here need to paint all women with the same silly brush, men need to take the blame for Barney Frank, Joe Biden, Obama the Lightbringer, and the various Kennedys, the current Robert notwithstanding. Otherwise, no deal.

The government sees them as useful to their own cause, not recognizing that they will quickly be replaced when a critical mass has been achieved.

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

True, but that was its purpose: to be an op for a talking point. It was incredible to me that Bloomberg -- trying to look even tougher on crime than Rudy G -- let the "occupation" go on that long.
I think the reason may be tied up in the complex ownership/management of Zuccotti and other parks in NYC. These parks are privately owned, but required to operate essentially as public parks. So if the owner -- almost certainly some big player in the RE game -- was queasy about calling in the cops, that could explain the delay.

Under Louis Napoleon III the National Guard was disbanded and replaced by the Gendarmerie National, because the National Guard was the deciding force in any civil protest that got large enough to threaten the government.
I am told the departments are starting to manage things on their own, and at some point may decide to formally get involved because Mannie ain't getting it done.

That quote bothered me when I read it because Sasha commits a category error. The Russians are very legalistic. he himself spends pages and pages going over minor discrepancies between the law and the actions of officials.
What he seems to miss is that everyone was following the law. Well, he doesn't miss it, he understand that. What he misses is that it was impossible to expect the citizens being raided to go against the laws in such a way. It would be like asking a cat to bark.
This is the tragedy of what he describes -- the system was created that allowed that outcome. Everyone was following rules and orders and mostly trying not to get accused of some crime and sent to the camps themselves. The people who were raided were going along thinking that once they sat in front of a prosecutor they would be released. Or a judge. Or once Comrade Stalin got their letter.
Everyone up the chain was protecting themselves from the guy one step up. They knew the process was arbitrary and kept their head down. This is how they ended up in the camps.

Ladies, you know I love you, and want only the best for you, but I think you need to bring the hammer down on other women at your next All-Women Society meeting. Some of you are making the others look bad.

If I have to be in charge of all women's behavior, I suggest you invest in a scheme to rein in all those asshat men running Antifa, extolling the virtues of socialism, and undressing in the ladies changing rooms.
Deal.

Why do Jews vote against themselves? A lot of them do it here as well.

Senators Chuck Schumer and Elisa Slotkin, both Jews, are both working as hard as they can to elect an avowed Muslim Hamas supporter to the senate.
I understand party above all else is a thing for the left. But party above your life and the life of everyone related to you? Man that’s some serious devotion to the cause.

Speaking of, I won't ruin the new Carrie show, but it's different than the movie. They are clearly trying to make a Stephen King TV show universe (gag) to tie this show into his other stories. They seem to be pushing for, if not a Carrie season 2, another show in this universe.
There is a female character grooming Carrie inbred show for her powers. And it opens the idea up of " with great power comes no accountability," which is how current pop culture, political, and even judicial movements are going for women.

He got more shit from the media by quoting Outkast when he said that his campaign was "shakin' like a Polaroid picture" than he did when he started blowing his Nazi dog whistle by referring to "New York money men".

A distinction should be made between very secular Jews and more religious Jews.
The former are JINOs and identify far more as leftwing Democraps than Jews. They don't care about Israel or even Jews in general. They are basically atheist. They care about advancing leftwing causes. They overwhelmingly tend to be affluent, with easy lives in upscale, protected neighborhoods. Unfortunately, NYC is crawling with them.
The more religious Jews are far more likely to vote GOP.

200 One of the young actresses who was in a lot of kids shows is in the new Carrie. Sienna Agudong. She's been posting about it on Instagram.
If it's a Stephen King thing though, it'll be hard left, anti-Christian with unlikable main characters. I was disappointed his 'Children in the Corn' people weren't tortured horribly for 2.5 hours.

The muslimification of France has been going on for a long time. I was in Paris in the mid 90s and had to go to the ER. Doctor I saw as an Arab. Ironically enough he was pretty cool and friendly to me, spoke good English and didn’t pretend he did not, which is a standard thing Parisians do.
Everyone else I dealt with at the hospital, check in clerk, nurses, etc were all assholes to me, cuz I was a dirty American who dared not speak fluent French.

The country of Orwell becoming an Orwellian dystopia is one of the greatest and saddest ironies in all of human history.
Irony is probably the wrong term. For all the jokes about 1984 not being an instruction manual, it sort of was. When Orwell wrote it, much of what he wrote about was already happening in Britain or was easily foreseeable from current policies.
The chocolate ration he made fun of in the book existed in 1948 in England, which (besides destroying the once-dominant English confectionary industry) must have made it look a lot like the perpetual war with a somewhat vague opponent in the book.

No, but they were freer than most Euro states because of a series of medieval revolts and wars that exterminated the middle layers of nobility and meant that they had to use commoners and townsmen to do more work which gave them more room to maneuver than average in Europe. Those groups with the odd religiously persecuted ones made up a lot of the population that settled the American colonies which concentrated the dose greatly.

________
The 70-80% is a nationwide number. The NYC Jewish vote for Democraps is much closer in recent years, possibly even 50-50.
This is due, I think, to two factors: (1) even secular Jews are finally -- finally -- wising up and realizing that Democraps are bad people who hate even secular Jews and (2) the increasing number of Jews who are religious.
The orthodox areas of NYC vote overwhelmingly for GOP candidates.

I will say, though, that while they keep the mom abusive, she's not the total mustache twirling Crazy Christian that King likes to write. She has nuance and intelligence and some love for her daughter, though twisted. They make her and the bully at school more sympathetic.
And Matthew Lillard's career is having a renaissance by being in a bunch of horror shows. Good for him.

I think for national elections the orthodox vote Republican.
But the Hasidim are different, and for local and state stuff they are much more likely to vote self-interest, and if that means voting for the socialist who will pump money into their communities, then that's what they will do.

The cast this year is ludicrous.
But most of the food still looks good.

Just like why are so many Joos commies?

Serious question? Because a lot of them came over to Western countries from Kishinev, Grodno, Brest, Vilnius... all up and down the old Tsars' Pale of Settlement where the nightly program of entertainment was spelled pogrom.
So they associated Christianity with "your neighbor whom your family was friends with for generations just helped burn down your house".
It's not fair, because a lot of those western cities had zero to do with the Tsar and in fact thought the Tsar and all his worked were a backward throwback. But there was major distrust there. They figured Communism was at least better than the Tsar. (It wasn't, but that was a lesson that had to be learned the hard way.)

I mentioned the Malfoid stuff in an ONT.
It is amusing - reddit and the like are furious that the 4chan times have "corrupted" their homo fantasies for Malfoy and Potter and replaced them with a relationship type pretty common in Japanese fiction

Plucky hero getting the princess in the end is pretty common in Western stories too.

Good news: only 33% of NYC Jews voted Mamdani. The fact it’s above zero is insane but hey at least it’s a minority. They’ve woken up, kinda.
Bad news; For Jews under 40, that number was 50%.
Baby’s steps I suppose.

College kids. They might have time to dispense with those illusions.

> Carrie's mom did nothing wrong. Carrie was possessed and evil, and only her mom saw it.
In the book, yes. King makes it very clear Margaret's religious fanaticism is a direct reaction to Carrie's powers. Carrie levitates a bottle over her crib as an infant. At three years old, Margaret beats Carrie for asking a neighbor about her breasts, and large rocks fall from the sky. We also learn that Margaret's grandmother had similar powers, so she was primed to watch for supernatural abilities.
It isn't until she's a teenager that Carrie begins to control and direct her powers.

Malfoid in the sort of hate/love relationship with the protagonist is VERY common in Japan fiction. Not unheard of here either but less common
