Jury Awards $3.2 Million Judgement to Man in Defamation Case Resulting From, Get This, Yet Another Race Grifter Hoax
Mainstream Media Breathlessly Covered an Alleged Hate Crime in Which White Kids Forced a Black Classmate To Drink Urine. It Was a Giant Hoax.
Texas judge orders $3.2 million judgment against black mother and attorney who falsely alleged her son was 'tortured' by white friend
It was a story that received blanket media coverage in March 2021. It alleged that white middle schoolers in Plano, Texas, viciously "tortured" SeMarion Humphrey, their black classmate, forcing him to drink their urine at a sleepover as they shot him with BB guns. A Black Lives Matter activist group charged the local public school district with doing "nothing" to stop "this racially motivated hate crime" as violent protests broke out outside the home of Asher Vann, the white child alleged to have organized the brutal attack. Major media outlets, including NBC, CBS, CNN, Business Insider, People magazine, the Daily Mail, and the Dallas Morning News, pounced on the story as Humphrey, his mother Summer Smith, and their attorney Kim Cole, embarked on a media tour where they called Vann "evil." The trio appeared on Good Morning America, where ABC host Linsey Davis promoted a GoFundMe account that raised nearly $120,000 to help pay for Humphrey's "therapy and private schooling." Racial activist groups added fuel to the fire. The NAACP dressed down the leaders of the Plano school district in a town hall that they described as the beginning of an "open partnership" spurred by the alleged hate crime. The Next Generation Action Network, a Black Lives Matter-tied group whose leader alleged Humphrey was "tortured for days" by his white assailants, organized public marches that drew hundreds of protesters. And then, a little under five years later, a racially diverse Texas jury--including four black members--ruled the whole thing was a hoax. On Jan. 22, Texas district court judge Benjamin Smith ordered Smith and Cole to pay $3.2 million in damages to Vann, now an adult attending his first year of college, for intentionally smearing him and tarnishing his future earning potential during their media tour in 2021. The ruling followed a civil trial in October 2025, where the jury determined that Cole and Smith cooked up the scheme to raise their public profiles during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and to rake in money through GoFundMe. Court records show that Smith put less than $1,000 of the nearly $120,000 GoFundMe windfall toward her son's schooling. Account statements reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show the remaining funds were spent on luxuries, including a designer dog, dining and travel, beauty products, liquor, vapes, cell phones, car payments, and rent.

Finally: Incompetent Woke Disney CEO Bob Iger Steps Down After Tanking Stock Price
Fox News
@FoxNews 6h BREAKING: Longtime Disney CEO Bob Iger to step down and be succeeded by theme parks chief Josh D'Amaro, company announces
wdwproWalden is another woke feminist incompetent and a friend of Kamala Harris. Disney's stock price rose on news of Iger's defenestration. The media is of course praising Iger and stating that the new CEO will take over a company with lots of momentum. Momentum? Downward momentum, you mean?
@wdwpro1 6h Either Bob Iger has a health concern (God forbid), or he's been fired as the stock dropped. He will exit his role nine months early with a board obviously eager to see him out. His poison pill: Dana Walden.
Everyone knows it's hard to get college students to do the reading--remember books? But the attention-span crisis is not limited to the written word. Professors are now finding that they can't even get film students--film students--to sit through movies. "I used to think, If homework is watching a movie, that is the best homework ever," Craig Erpelding, a film professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, told me. "But students will not do it." I heard similar observations from 20 film-studies professors around the country. They told me that over the past decade, and particularly since the pandemic, students have struggled to pay attention to feature-length films. Malcolm Turvey, the founding director of Tufts University's Film and Media Studies Program, officially bans electronics during film screenings. Enforcing the ban is another matter: About half the class ends up looking furtively at their phones. ... And the problem is not limited to large introductory courses. Akira Mizuta Lippit, a cinema and media-studies professor at the University of Southern California--home to perhaps the top film program in the country--said that his students remind him of nicotine addicts going through withdrawal during screenings: The longer they go without checking their phone, the more they fidget. Eventually, they give in.A lot of people feel that they have lost most of their ability to focus. I'm one of them. I can still read books -- on occasion -- but I do sometimes put them down after a very short bout of reading.

Honestly, I'm to the point where I want Disney to continue augering in, as an object lesson to the rest of them. I recommend Critical Drinker's new post on Seven Kingdoms (a GoT prequel). He thinks some of the producers are starting to grasp that we aren't buying what Hollywood has been selling for the last 20 years. Fast learners they are not.

The gym I go to is a classic example of this - people use a piece of gym equipment for a minute or two, and then spend 5-15 minutes scrolling on their phones while sitting on the equipment.
The gym used to have signs up asking people not to do this, but they have apparently given up.
(I don't bring my phone to the gym.)

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were on Rogan recently. They said that Netflix wants filmmakers to restate the plot three or four times in the dialog to account for viewers who are in their phones during the movie.
They also said that typical filmmaking saves the most expensive set piece for the finale, but Netflix wants a big set piece scene in the first five minutes.

"In a multiple-choice question on a recent final exam, Jeff Smith, a film professor at UW Madison, asked what happens at the end of the Truffaut film Jules and Jim. More than half of the class picked one of the wrong options, saying that characters hide from the Nazis (the film takes place during World War I) or get drunk with Ernest Hemingway (who does not appear in the movie). Smith has administered similar exams for almost two decades; he had to grade his most recent exam on a curve to keep students’ marks within a normal range."
SEE, THAT IS THE PROBLEM. Fail them all! If they can't do the work, fail them. Geez, colleges are soft.

You can't have both a successful streaming platform and big box office returns, one cannibalizes the other. Someone into Disney offering just waits a few weeks.
And then you have the issue that families drop the Disney streamer as the kids age out of it. Mine did.
And then you have the issue that you're actively pissing off about half the country with culture war nonsense. So expect less expensive trips to Disneyland parks.

Even renting a movie was an "investment", you had to get it back to the store. Also the act of browsing and picking it up, you wanted it all to pay off.
With streaming, you just stop in the middle and pickup whenever. I'll start and stop things all the time. And then we have our phones that we can't seem to put own. Wasn't an issue pre-2010.
I don't really have a fix, but I liked the way it was better.

Well, I'm sure recent students are having problems focusing on anything given their cell phone mentality. But some of the problem for the film students might be the sorry state of movies these days. Who could watch two hours of the kind of woke bullshit that's been coming out of the major film studios lately?

The one movie used as an example is Jules and Jim, a French film from the 60s.
It's 100 minutes long and flies by because it's edited very quickly.

I really want to write something about this phenomenon.
Government interference- courts ruling that disparate impact proves discrimination destroyed competence exams.
Overproduction of degrees- not educated students
Commodification of degree conferal- again, not "education"
And the usually overlooked issue: Separating communities from their best and brightest, which makes it even harder for smaller communities to grow.
Our "education" system is responsible for a wealth of problems.

I don't really love movies, but I know my attention span has waned significantly based in part on my movie watching habits.
I used to sit through the boring scenes. Now I get a feel for what's going on and skip. When an irrationally angry character starts their irrationally angry rant, I know where it's going and skip forward. When a lonely person starts staring off in the distance, watching scenery go by, I skip forward. If it's clear I've missed something, I skip back and catch up.
I don't do this when I'm watching something with other people. If I'm by myself though, hell yeah.

I do have some good memories of him, but I don't think I'll ever know what happened to him. He probably had early Alzheimers and either drowned or got eaten by some animal. The Mounties looked and they had search parties out and they dragged the river but found nothing

This is canny. The best thing about "The Revenant" is the love story.
---
A guy goes hunting and sees a huge bear. He takes aim and squeezes the trigger, but misses. The bear approaches the hunter, grabs him and fucks him before letting him go. But the hunter vows revenge. He goes out to the same spot the next day, sees the same bear, takes aim and fires. Again, he misses and again, the bear fucks him. The hunter borrows a friend’s rifle the next day. He heads out to his favourite spot and sees the bear again. He gets the bear in his sights, shoots and misses. So the bear says “You didn’t come here to hunt, did you?”

I have no idea why so many people loved that movie so much. It's clever-ish, but not that great. The little detail clue that puts the inspector on the killer is ridiculous and has 1,000 alternate explanations for that character. There's a lot of woke garbage too. I think general consensus is the first one is good, but the next ones aren't. I disagree with the consensus. I don't think the first one's good.

Tarantino is a fantasy film director, his best fantasy films were the Kill Bill movies.
I would say his most expertly crafted film is Inglorious Basterds.
But my overall assesment of him is that he is so far up his own ass he comes right of his own mouth and goes straight up his ass again.
I'll never forgive him for what he did to Bruce Lee.

That would be Part V: A New Beginning.
They had killed Jason in Part IV, with the laughable (but very common '80s slasher trope) that a child (Corey Haim) was going to become the new Jason because of the trauma associated with seeing the old Jason at work.
Part V plays that out in one of the most unpleasant experiences across 11 movies as the now grown child is haunted by visions of Jason. Is he killing people? Is he going crazy? Who cares!
Then in VI they go "Well, that didn't work. Let's have a larf." And produces the most watchable film of the lot.

The Coppola "Dracula" may be my favorite, down to him calling it "Bram Stoker's Dracula" because he set out to be the most faithful adaptation, and immediately started talking about Dracula's origin story (gleaned, as far as I can tell, from two lines in the book about Drac's origin).
I read all of Stokers' works when re-writing "Lair of the White Worm," and learned then that he probably never had heard of Vlad the Impaler, and that Dracula was based on his boss, the famous actor Henry Itving.

ICE agents arrested an illegal alien, a New Orleans Police Department recruit, who was illegally given a gun.
Larry Temah, the 46-year-old illegal alien from Cameroon, was just one week away from graduating from the police academy.
The DHS said in a comment to Fox News: “This illegal alien from Cameroon, Larry Temah, is not only breaking the law with every step he takes in this country illegally, but the New Orleans Police Department hired him and issued him a firearm – what kind of law enforcement department gives criminal illegal aliens guns and badges? It’s a FELONY for illegal aliens to even possess a firearm. Sanctuary cities like New Orleans ignore ICE detainers and are protecting illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens.”

My favorite films in order are..
KB 1, KB2, Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds.

I really hope he keeps to his promise of making 10 films and being done, because I really don't think he has much more to say as a film maker.

Chuck Schumer: Requiring Voters to Show ID to Vote Is "Nothing More Than Jim Crow 2.0"
No, man, it's worse than Jim Crow. It makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle. Malarkey!Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday condemned legislation requiring ID and proof of citizenship to register to vote as "nothing more than Jim Crow 2.0." Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) has attempted to include the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act in a massive funding package under review by the House and send it back to the Senate. "The SAVE Act is nothing more than Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Every single Senate Democrat will vote against any bill that contains it," Schumer wrote in a Monday post on the social platform X. "Speaker Johnson should tell SAVE Act Republicans to stand down or else this shutdown will be on them," the Senate Minority Leader added.Don't worry, your Republican "Leaders" are already showing their bellies.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has raised objections to including the measure in the funding bills despite White House support for the measure. "We all want the SAVE Act, but we look at the reality of the numbers here. And we passed the SAVE Act twice in the House. We'll pass it again, we'll do that. But this is a funding package right now, and I don't think we need to be playing games with government funding," Johnson said on Monday.Do "we" really all want it? Do "we" really all want it as a priority? Or as "nice to have but not necessary to have" kind of thing? I learned a word about ten years ago: Velleity.
Velleity (vah-LEE-it-ee) is a noun meaning a slight wish or inclination that isn't strong enough to motivate action, the weakest form of desire or will, like wanting to write a book but never starting. It comes from the Latin word velle ("to wish"), sharing roots with "voluntary" and "will," but signifies a wish without the drive to fulfill it.When most Republicans say they "want" something or "agree" with conservatives on a policy, they usually "want" it in the velleity sense: with the lowest level of desire possible before becoming simply neutral about it or even opposed to it. Meanwhile: The public wants voter ID.
pic.twitter.com/uZmoE2cMNy Bottom line: big majorities all around favor photo ID to vote.

It's a voter registration act.
Because a federal voter ID, that is, requiring ID when voting, may not be Constitutional; violates the "time, place and manner" provision reserved to the states.
But, there's lots of SCOTUS precedent letting the feds determine and set voter registration restrictions.
I noted below, but, SCOTUS struck down AZ's citizenship req. on registration, but still upheld the right of the fed to set registration requirement.
And SCOTUS upheld the Motor Voter law requirements on states purging their voter rolls.
A cartel judge will issue a fire opinion in her illegal nationwide injunction.
And it won't even last a month before it's struck down.

USAID Fraud is cut, but I'm sure there are still some lingering billions out there, plus Soros Junior is generous.
Welfare Fraud is being exposed. It'll take an army of prosecutors to stanch it.
Government Unions, forget it. That won't happen until 2028 or beyond.

They aren't new streams, really. The explosion of graft in the state level was all part of the USAID like grift at the state level. With USAID blocked mostly, the machine is now dependent on these secondary sources. Cutting them off will happen because once the fraud is exposed, most of the shell companies will vanish and with them the kickbacks to the Democrats.

Action News Investigation
'Ghost students' stealing millions in college financial aid | Investigation
In part, "PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Scammers are stealing tens of millions of dollars in college financial aid.
They're increasingly using artificial intelligence and forcing colleges and the U.S. Department of Education to bolster their fraud detection systems.
The criminals create what are called "ghost students" to steal taxpayer money. They prey largely on community colleges due to their open enrollment. As higher education rushed to establish online enrollment, it exposed vulnerabilities."
..
"We're in a space that we don't know who to trust, and we have a duty," said U.S. Dept. of Education Undersecretary Nicholas Kent. "We went from verifying approximately 30% of potential borrowers down to 1%."
"The department also began alerting schools to verify certain applicants in person or virtually."
"Why isn't the federal government not using the ID verification at that point?" asked Pradelli.
-----
You know why it's not.
A decent investigation. More than 500 ghost students enrolled in the local CC. More Bidenomics to cleanup nationwide.

Up until about a month ago, not even the candidate could challenge that.
Judges could dismiss with the ol' 2020 Dodge:
No proof of harm before the election = too early, no standing
Proof of harm after the election = too late, outcome won't change, no standing.
But, under Bohl, candidates can challenge that last-minute registration dump before the election. And after.
And, under SAVE, private groups will be able to as well.

(vah-LEE-it-ee) is a noun meaning a slight wish or inclination that isn't strong enough to motivate action, the weakest form of desire or will, like wanting to write a book but never starting. It comes from the Latin word velle ("to wish"), sharing roots with "voluntary" and "will," but signifies a wish without the drive to fulfill it.

The reason there was no actual injunction, no actual order they violated, was because pre-Bost, no one had standing to sue.
So Alito's order to keep them separate was more a suggestion.
But not now.
Not only does Bost give the candidate standing to sue, they also specifically referenced that in the opinion--noting how a candidate did not have standing to prevent that kind of illegal mixing under the prior law.

Child the Younger starts their post-college career in mid-March. Wants to get apartment so that furniture may be purchased, drivers license changed, etc.
Child has offer letter specifying start date and salary.
-- Apartment won't permit Child to sign lease until 7 days prior to starting new job.
Child says, "This doesn't work for me. How about I pay the full year in advance."
-- Apartment says, "Cant do that but... we'll do a deep dive on you and assuming that comes up clean (which it will) and you can prove that you have a bit over 4 years rent sitting around in cash, then we can probably let you sign the lease a month earlier than would otherwise be the case."
And all the other apartments have the same rules. I suggested that Child tell them that they're SA drug runners to see if that would open things up but Child was unthrilled by that idea.

This must be true because I'm getting prettier with age ... but will NEVER get man-boobs.
I always put on a little extra weight in the winter. This past weekend we were in a store and I started pulling my hoody off over my head -- which lifted up the r-shirt I had on underneath, exposing my abs (a decent four-pack when I suck in the gut).
The wifey pulls my t-shirt down -- and I thought she was giving me a compliment saying "Closed for modeling."
Then I realized she actually said "Closed for RE-modeling" which gave us both a good laugh ...

This is a pattern you see on many, many issues.
Partly its fraud - when some Dem operative casts a bunch of ballots in someone's name it doesn't matter what they think of the issues of the day.
But the larger part is honestly most D voters don't care. About ANY of the supposed big issues of the day. The question is simply do I think voting D will get me more money? If yes...vote D. If no, don't vote.
This is why the D party can flip on most big issues overnight and not lose any votes

Puberty is the transformation process, usually occurring between ages 8–14, where a child’s body matures into an adult body capable of reproduction. Initiated by brain hormones (\(GnRH\)), it triggers physical changes like growth spurts, sexual organ development, acne, and body hair, typically finishing over 4–5 years

Independence and Monmouth Oregon (combined Pop. of about 13,000 people at the time) offered to host the Winter Olympics in 1976 when there was a question about who would host the Olympics that year. This is in the Willamette Valley Oregon where we get maybe an inch of snow if we are lucky. The booster club actually sent in an offer to the IOC, which the IOC. Was. Required. To. Consider.
So they changed the application process
(Since they would have to make snow runs anyways using manufactured snow, the suggestion was that the Winter Olympics would be run in the Summer because the weather was nicer. Instead they used it as the theme for the 4th of July parade and celebration. It was glorious.)

I did look into that, wondering how they were all right and other celeb kids were so screwed up. A few things helped.
1: 2/3 of the moms were legal immigrants who loved this country, and probably never let their kids forget their blessings.
2: They had to earn privileges. Ivanka has told about how she wanted to go on a spacial ski trip and her dad made her pay for it. He wasn't just a free ATM all the time.
3: When they joined the family business, it wasn't cushy desk jobs at the beginning. They had to go to the construction sites, see the whole process, meet the workers. They don't have a contempt for the blue collar workers the way a lot of uniparty politicians do, and I think that's hugely why.

CNN: The Flight From Blue States Will Net Republicans +7 House Seats and +7 Electoral College Votes in 2032; Even if Democrats Win All Three "Blue Wall" States, They'll Lose the Presidency
Unfortunately, the census won't be taken until 2030 and reapportionment won't happen until the following election in 2032.
It's something, I guess."The lowest domestic net migration this decade -- all five of the states that were won by Kamala Harris in 2024," Enten noted. "Look at this: California, Harris' home state; New York, where I'm coming from right now; of course, Illinois, New Jersey, and of course the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which is a bastion of blue liberalism." These, he emphasized, "are the states that folks in the United States are moving away from and into the red states, which is propelling a red state boom." If that wasn't enough bad news for the Democrats, Enten turned to the political fallout. "Now, this is interesting, right? But it could also have major political ramifications if it holds for 2030, the next census," he warned. "If, in fact, the 2025 population shifts hold for the 2030 census, look at this. Look at the House seat shifts by state." Then he delivered the line that surely made Democratic strategists choke on their avocado toast. "If, in fact, the 2025 population shifts hold for 2030, states that Kamala Harris won, they would lose. They would lose seven seats in the United States House of Representatives. The states that Donald Trump won in 2024, they would gain; they would gain seven seats." When you think about how close the House of Representatives is now, you know this is a huge deal. That CNN is admitting all of this is also quite significant. But Enten wasn't done rubbing salt in the wound. The shift doesn't just hit Congress; it impacts the entire Electoral College. "Because the number of electoral votes that each state gets is equal to the number of senators, plus the number of House seats," he said. "If you remember back in 2024, right, it was all about the blue wall... If Kamala Harris could win the baseline Democratic states and then add in the blue wall states of Michigan, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, she would get to 270 electoral votes." Then came the bomb: "If all of a sudden, we, in fact, have applying the 2025 estimates, the population estimates to the Electoral College, the blue states, plus the blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin would no longer be enough," Enten said flatly. "Under the current estimates, you get to exactly 270 electoral votes, the minimum needed to win the Electoral College. If, in fact, you apply the 2025 estimates, look at that -- you would only get to 263 electoral votes if you were a Democrat, which would mean a Republican victory."
🚨NEW: Enten *SOUNDS ALARM* over Dems' long-term political odds🚨

"The biggest population growth this decade: All 5 of the states are states that Trump won! ... But it's not just a red state boom. We’re looking at what I would dare call a blue state depression." @DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/XidlrPHb97
In a brief video clip that resurfaced on Saturday and quickly went viral, Boston's far-left Mayor Michelle Wu summed up what no doubt many of her fellow leftists take to be axiomatically true. If it even came close to being implemented, it would destroy the United States utterly, but after all, what do leftists care about preserving what they think of as a racist, imperialist entity existing on stolen land? And so as far as they're concerned, the destruction of the nation wouldn't be a bug, but a feature. In the clip, which actually dates from March 2025 but which Mass Daily News reposted on X Saturday, quickly racking up nearly five million views, Wu says simply: "Every single human being has the legal right to come to the United States and seek shelter."... Michelle Wu obviously hasn't done so, but rational people should pause for a moment and consider the implications of her claim that every last human being on the planet has a right to come to the United States. There are around 8.3 billion people on the planet, which means that nearly eight billion people currently live outside the United States. What Michelle Wu is actually saying is not only that eight billion people should be welcomed into our poor borderless land, but that then the much smaller number of working people in the United States are obligated to pay for their upkeep. 🚨 BREAKING: Boston Mayor Michelle Wu just went FULL TRAITOR MODE, claiming EVERY SINGLE HUMAN ON PLANET EARTH has a “legal right” to be in the United States!

Maybe Virginia should be declared a disaster area.

I think the estimate is way off.
I think it could be a net of 30 seats.
The Census Bureau admitted to failures that already moved 6 seats in the 2020 census. Those were errors based on their own models of populations (not counts).
Correcting that will probably net the 7 mentioned on its own, if not more.
And then...the Great Migration hasn't stopped. It slowed after 2021, but it's kept going.
Even with TX being one of the epicenters of deportations, the seats TX won't gain because of it (assuming illegals are even counted) will end up going to the next in line red states like TN and SC.
And then...illegals might not be counted.
But even if they are...potentially 6 straight years of hard deportations. At least 4 of them.
I do think it could be 30.
Imagine trying to win the 2032 presidential election as a Democrat then...after Kamala lost again in 2028 and people want the black caucus to have less of a say in nominations.

this is why Democrats have moved from deporting illegals under Obama to letting them all in under Biden to violently assaulting ICE officers removing violent offenders under Trump with official approval of police and local/state officials
their only shot at national relevance for the next 40 years is fudging the Census and importing voters

Her actual quote is less provocative and incendiary, which is why it's being paraphrased and not quoted directly. Here is what she actually said:
"Every human being has the legal right to come to the USA and seek asylum or shelter and …"
See the omission of the "seek" modifier? She's technically correct, that anyone can come and "seek" asylum. Doesn't mean they are legally entitled to it.
I'd also like to see what she said after the "and" -- the video cuts off. I suspect what comes after the video cuts off further limits what she's saying.

The electoral college is working exactly how it was designed to. It gives slave owners the edge so they would have more votes. They don't want a democracy. What they want is an elected aristocracy.
Blue states better solve their housing problems ASAP. It is the biggest problem they could fix with the most induced change in positive votes for them. That or healthcare.
if Red states are gaining population that isn't Rs, what are the chances that enough people move there to flip the state? That's what's happening in GA and AZ.
how is what Rs are doing not bad enough to overcome these minor electoral issues with a giant Blue wave?! trump is the least popular president of all time. they took away snap. theyre gonna take healthcare. they deported a bunch and killed a bunch of people. if this aint bad enough what is?

Colorado, Oregon, and Washington are all the 90s.
And AZ lurched to the right from 2020 to 2024. The Great Migration that started in 2020 is materially different from what happened with CA exporting its population in the 90s.
And if you don't take that into account, your analysis is silly and unserious.

current asylum rules are that you must stop in a neighboring country first and be housed there. so only Mexican and Canadian refugees should be allowed in the first place.

I'm reading this history of Byzantium that my son gave me for Christmas.
The Romans and Byzantines continued to refer to their government as a "republic" even when it was clearly a monarchy. The term referred to a government that was concerned with the welfare of the people as a whole, and not the enrichment of whomever was head of state.
So, they could unironically refer to the Empire as both an "Empire" and a "Republic" in the same sentence.

Posted by: redridinghood at February 03, 2026 01:49 PM (NpAcC)
- 7 seats from the Census; could be 15 if illegals are not counted
- 6 seats from correcting the last Census
- 15 to 20 if minority-majority districts are struck down
- 5 to 10 from mid-Census redistricting
For real, 2028 is for all the marbles.
I mean, it's so huge, we may never see a Dem in the WH for 40 years if Vance wins.
Not just the Census, but also the SCOTUS and 4 more years of aggressive deportations and voter roll clean up.

Extremely online Minnesota political activist Will Stancil ran into trouble recently, quite literally. Someone from antifa apparently punched Stancil in the face while he was filming some sort of protest after the Alex Pretti shooting. While a literal dumpster fire goes off in the background, the antifa member says, “he’s filming people’s faces!” “I’ve done a lot more than you have,” Stancil says. “Jackass.”
“He’s filming people’s faces!” the antifa person says again, as though it’s a crime. “OH NO!” Stancil exclaims sardonically, before the hammer of anarchy rains down upon his head. Fellow disruptors have been wary of Stancil’s recent choice to allow journalists to embed with him while he drives around the Twin Cities in his Honda Fit, looking for ICE operations to monitor.
Stancil has been suffering from a touch of Main Character Syndrome while out protesting ICE in Minneapolis, but no one can doubt his sincerity. His numerous online opponents have garnered a sort of respect for his annoyingly tenacious nature.

The bit that I think is overlooked is that there is a feedback loop. These cities (states) that push out the productive classes also switch their policies to pander to the non-productive classes -- the gov. employees, social services, people on benefits, NGOs, etc.
It made sense in the 19th C. for cities to keep policies that kept their industrial base taxpayers happy. And now it makes sense for them to push for policies that make their parasite classes happy. The difference is that the parasite classes only exist because of cash from the Fed.
We look at the Minnesota Somalians with horror - not working, thieving, low IQ, invaders. Minnesota politicians look at them as cash cows for federally funded programs. Teachers look at them as justification for doubling the number of Special Needs programs, Lawyers look at them as clients,....
This is universal and the root of the problem. Politicians around the world are not replacing the "workers" to fund SSI, they are replacing their voters and taxpayers with a serf class that gets them money from the other jurisdictions.

That's not what the electoral college did ever. It was the 3/5 compromise that gave slave owners extra power for their slaves.
The EC gives extra weight to small states with lower population to induce national candidates to have to deal with more of the country to win election.
The biggest failure of current state governments is that this mechanism is absent at the state level to give extra power to rural areas over cities.

There was a ballot initative calling for an audit of state finances. It passed by a wide margin. The person responsible for enacting it is a Dem named DiZoglio and she is trying very hard to actually proceed.
However the Dem governor/legislature ignored it and her.
So now she needs lawyers that the state won't pay for so there is a scandal because a wealthy Republican has offered to pay.
My guess? The state will rule this illegal, and she'll face a well funded challenger who will defeat her.
Meanwhile the Massholes will still vote D and wonder why they can't get that audit...

The bit that I think is overlooked is that there is a feedback loop. These cities (states) that push out the productive classes also switch their policies to pander to the non-productive classes -- the gov. employees, social services, people on benefits, NGOs, etc.
One of the things that has been happening over the decades is that central cities have gone from having most of the population of a metro area to being a small fraction of the metro area.
Portland is 25% of the Portland metro, and Minneapolis is 15% of the Twin Cities metro.
This results in the Leftist loons getting concentrated in the central city, where they can push policies that would never be tolerated by the larger metro area.

That was her first interview after she announced her campaign for the primary in 2019.
She walked into the race thinking she had the whole thing in the bag because the power brokers had told her so.
Well, she's gonna waltz to the nomination in 2024 because of her name recognition and the fact that she keeps getting 60% of the black vote in almost every poll (she's the new Biden), but she's going to black girl magic through the whole thing, promising any progressive nonsense that comes to mind.

They do good on IQ tests because their language trains the mind to be good at recognizing and manipulating geometric images, which is how most IQ tests work to avoid being biased based on language.
They do good in school because they have (HAVE) to study hard to learn those essential 2-4 thousand Chinese characters. It is rigorous from about 8-16yo (or so) and requires diligence, study, memorization, ... so they become good at that.
Many are highly trained idiots. Not intelligent at all. That makes them very good at fields where being a highly trained idiot = success. Not so good at judgement and discrimination.

Yes a cartel judge will issue an injunction.
And it'll be swept away on appeal.
Because, if you'll read what the SAVE Act does, it addresses several SCOTUS rulings.
Ruling which the SCOTUS said, basically, this is unconstitutional b/c Congress has to pass a law on it.
1) overturns Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA), Inc. (2013), where the Supreme Court held (7-2) that the NVRA preempts state laws requiring proof of citizenship beyond the federal registration form's sworn attestation. The Court ruled that Congress intended the federal form (which only requires a self-certification of citizenship under penalty of perjury) to be sufficient, and states cannot add extra requirements without federal approval.
2) expands Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute (201
, where SCOTUS (5-4) upheld Ohio's voter purge process but emphasized NVRA limits on removals (e.g., no purges solely for non-voting, and requirements for notice).Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at February 03, 2026 02:14 PM (HXT0k)

It is very hard to incentivize an unwanted population to leave. It has taken the muslims centuries to get the Jews and Christians to leave their native countries in North Africa and Middle East.
South a bit they are still at the genocide phase to create converts. Still it takes centuries.
Europe has to start by cutting benefits to Zero. Then as you say, force them to conform to Christian culture. Still it will not be enough and at some point things will get violent either way.

I want to clarify the above - I did not mean that all Asians are highly trained idiots, only that it is easier for an idiot to rise to success in academics than in other places. Generally, I think Asians are much like Westerners in their variability. They also tend to have an "inner independence" that makes many of them very creative, it is just harder for them to assert their ideas up the heirarchy.

Under Threat of Criminal Contempt, Bill and Hillary Clinton "Agree" to "Testify" about Jeffrey Epstein... But Won't Set a Date to Testify
They claim that they'll testify -- but it's a stalling tactic. Now they want to set up a date for their testimony, but they can't commit to any particular date.
So this is more contempt. Even if it happens, it will be a festival of perjuries that will make "it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" look bush-league.With a contempt vote looming on Capitol Hill, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have finally agreed to sit for depositions before the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The development surfaced Monday during a House Rules Committee hearing, when Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) disclosed that the Clintons had accepted the basic terms laid out by Oversight Chairman James Comer. A spokesman for Bill Clinton confirmed the agreement, while attorney Angel Ureña wrote on X that the former president and former first lady "will be there" and are prepared to testify under oath. According to the New York Times, the Clintons said they would appear on mutually agreeable dates and asked House leaders to drop a contempt vote slated for Wednesday. The request followed months of defiance of Comer's subpoenas, issued Aug. 5, 2025, after both Clintons skipped prior deadlines to provide testimony. That standoff prompted a bipartisan revolt on the Oversight Committee, with nine Democrats joining Republicans to back contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton and three Democrats supporting contempt for Hillary Clinton. Comer was unimpressed by the latest overture, arguing it arrived only because the House was closing in on enforcement. In a statement, he said the Clintons' lawyers had again failed to provide dates and warned that the terms remained vague. Earlier Monday, he rejected a proposal that would have capped Bill Clinton's testimony at four hours and substituted a sworn statement from Hillary Clinton, calling the bid for limits "special treatment" and "an affront" to public demands for transparency. ... If prosecutors were to pursue contempt and secure convictions, the penalties could include jail time of up to one year and fines ranging from $100 to $1,000. For now, Comer has said he will seek clarity on the Clintons' commitments before deciding how to proceed.Yeah they're not showing up. You're being chumped, Hoss. How is everyone? Is the low humidity a problem for you? Because I keep waking up due to dry mouth. I haven't had a good night's sleep in more than a week and the sleep debt is piling up. (Yes I know, I have to get my humidifier out of storage, but that only helps a little.) I'm playing injured here, coach. Don't expect too much from me today.

I had to give in on my aversion to using hand creams when my hands started bleeding a year or so ago. The dry air is brutal.
It's really wreaking havoc with my children as well.
Thanks for the reminder- I HAD a humidifier in the youngest girls' room and it seems to have disappeared. I'll have to discover what my wife did with it.

A long, looong time ago, I remember hearing the now-deceased Sylvia Browne on a Montel show say that the Clintons have been together for multiple lifetimes. Not always husband and shrew, but brother/sister, mother/father, etc. If one believes in past lives, it's fun thinking they've been ball and chained together for 1000 years.

Because Congress is not an investigative body, even by design. It has spending authority over the executive (which it refuses to use and has refused to use for over a century), but that's it.
Congress could be powerful by actually focusing on those powers in the purse strings, but once it starts bringing in people to talk about crimes, well...
Might as well listen to your local mayor talk about Gaza.

Pretty dry here, but we're having an unusual spate of fall-ish weather (which is hot/dry here). Well, unusual except it's been about most of January and now is back.
Isn't Oversight chaired by Comer? He had a gloriously typical and idiotic comment after the cretin got hisself kilt in Mpls, some crap about restraint or tactices blah blah blach for ICE. Like most Americans, Comer is probably pristinely ignorant of just about everything connected to this incident. Is he familiar with US Marshals or FBI collaring fugitives (this is exactly what is going on, just different agencies)? Try interfering in that some time.
Such detentions happen 24/7/365, for the entire lives of everyone breathing, yet almost nobody understands this. Amazing the country functions at all.

Do you have central heat? That can really suck the moisture out. Try hanging a wet towel over a basin, or put a small sauce-pan on a heating pad in the room with you.
If your CPAP is not humidifying then that may need some adjustment. (CPAP is often the only doctor prescribed method of water-boarding available to average consumer, but sometimes they will dry you out, too)

No doubt in my mind that Musk has broken laws. To bad it has to be France to get some balls and investigate musk. If America was not so corrupt musk would be in jail allready.
France is taking the lead in pulling Europe free from US domination. As a German I am proud of our French brothers for doing what we are apparently too cowardly to do.
How fucking based would it be if the entire world just started doing this shit in unison. What's he gonna do tariff the entire world? You know what that's called? Sanctions on yourself.

The deposition or hearing they agreed to appear for will be useful only to Democrats. The Clintons will deliver several snarky zingers in response to a handful of questions.

Remember a few years ago when Billy Jeff stated that he'd "never flown on Epstein's plane to Epstein's island".
Technically 100% true. The island was too small to land that plane. You got there by landing the plane on a larger neighboring island and then taking a boat or a helicopter.
Note that this is not at all the same as saying "I've never been on Epstein's plane" or "I've never been on Epstein's island".

>>> "the courts always say "You sold it fair and square, if you want it so bad buy it back".And somehow despite all the casino money, they won't come up with the money to actually do that, "because it's ooooooour land (and never mind that we sold it and apparently can't grok the concept of a 99 year lease)"
I have a friend that is from rural Utah, and she's had many a rant on how spoiled Rez kids are if they want an education. Free ride 100%, tuition, scholarships, the works. Whereas my friend had zero free rides.
The problem is the culture shock of leaving Rez culture is hard. A lot of the kids struggle with that, and dropping out of college because of it, to the point they are making Native American only dorms so they have a form of Rez culture ok campuses. (Even though segregated dorms aren't technically allowed, these ones will get a pass.)
And once you've left the Rez, you're basically like an alien person to them. You have to do a lot to get treated like you belong again, once you leave.
Like all cultures, it sound like Rez culture has the good and the troubling. But as a complete outsider, I have no say on anything they can possibly do to fix it.

This is stupid. It was better and safer for everyone to do it the way the teachers and administrators did this. The kids who felt it was important to do this got it out of their system. The kids who wanted to goof off for a bit goofed off for a bit.
Yeah, I get that a lot of people feel that schools should have an iron grip on their students and should only focus on the core mission. Fine. But sometimes core mission focus goes better if you give a little freedom now and again.

She was in the Air Force, and was terrified the incident would sink any of her military prospects and kill her career. Of course Bill didn't care about that.

Newly elected Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger is poised to release a savage illegal alien convicted of brutally murdering his own infant sister, and she has no intention of handing him over to federal immigration authorities for deportation.
The monster in question is Alvaro Mejia-Ayala, a 21-year-old (now 22) Salvadoran national who, in September 2025, wrapped a charging cord around the neck of his helpless 8-month-old baby sister in Loudoun County.
The infant was found unresponsive, the white cable still constricting her tiny throat. Despite desperate medical efforts, she succumbed to her injuries days later, her young life extinguished in a fit of incomprehensible violence.

My inside humidity gets down under 20% when it is under 20 outside. The woodstove draws in some dry outside air, so I keep a pan of water on that stove, plus a big pan of water on low heat on my kitchen stove. And in the basement a put a gallon or two of water on the concrete floors every day.

Coastal California is a little different since their land was worthless and their ndns could fish off the coast. Remember the Chumash kid whose family went to Kansas City to cheer the Chiefs, and got a raft of shit for it? The Chumash had been in California since like 3000 BC.
Likewise the Mexican side of the Gulf of California/Cortez was probably the real Aztlan.
If you are from the so-called "Dakotas" however then, yeah, the Lakota migrated over there and subjugated whatever tribes were native.

HOLY CRAP! CNN was just forced to report 83% PERCENT of Americans are with Nicki Minaj and want nationwide voter ID
This *includes* 71% of Democrats. 🔥
In fact — support for voter ID is at its highest level in YEARS!

In my teens and twenties, i was at the cinema almost every weekend and there were still movies i missed because i just didn't have time.
Since 2020, I've been to one movie; my wife dragged me to F1 because she is a fan of the racing series. It was better than i expected. I wish i had gone to Maverick. Nothing else has seemed worth it. Haven't been for a marvel movie since the final one with Thanos.
Most movies and tv shows now sound like they're written by r*tards for babies. I'm actively appalled at the low quality of it. So, mostly, i watch old shows and play old video games.

The problem with student "walk-outs" over routine law enforcement activities is how stupid the kids are (even by kids' standards), how ignorant and stupid the parents obviously are, and yeah also that the teachers and administrators are worthless. Last word used advisedly.
The anchor around the country's neck that is "education" as it has devolved won't be fixed, so at minimum a long period of decline in many things is already baked in.

The Left, including what sane elements of the Democrat party remain, have no further use for the Clintons. The 90's ended 26 years ago and since then the Clintons have been nothing but a liability. The Far Left hates them because they're insufficiently radical and old. The Mainstream Left hates them because they can't deliver any electoral victories. The Left as a whole just reacts them off the stage.
The Left wants to get Trump with the Epstein Files, and they're more than happy to sacrifice Bill Clinton to get to Trump. The Clintons thought they could run the 90's scandal playbook, but the support from the media and their party just isn't there anymore.

Newly elected Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger is poised to release a savage illegal alien convicted of brutally murdering his own infant sister, and she has no intention of handing him over to federal immigration authorities for deportation.
The monster in question is Alvaro Mejia-Ayala, a 21-year-old (now 22) Salvadoran national who, in September 2025, wrapped a charging cord around the neck of his helpless 8-month-old baby sister in Loudoun County.
The infant was found unresponsive, the white cable still constricting her tiny throat. Despite desperate medical efforts, she succumbed to her injuries days later, her young life extinguished in a fit of incomprehensible violence.

This is true for some, but I think the greater problem is their overall view of the world.
We in the West have a culture and civilization to preserve. For them the world consists of land they have conquered, and land they have not conquered. They do not care about history, artifacts, buildings, culture, people, art, ... Their world exists in that one evil book and a rock in Saudi Arabia. That is the only thing they revere.
I think this also applies to a large extent to China. They destroyed much of their heritage under Mao because to the commies, it was "year zero" and the "four olds" had to be destroyed. Recently they start to understand the propaganda power of some of their history but I don't think it really matters to them in the same way as in the West.
We in the West are unique in cherishing history and artifacts beyond their value at the souk.

The Morning Rant
Warsh said in October 2024 that the central bank has routinely shifted the goalposts for measuring inflation—from average inflation targeting to core inflation ex-housing—and how it conducts policy. “They don’t seem to have a serious theory of inflation that is theoretical and empirical. It is not obvious that they acknowledge what their role is in prices,” Warsh told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “I think in a world this dangerous, an economic policy where fiscal policy is irresponsible, the central bank needs to be very clear about its reaction function, be clear about its goals, and not look like it is lurching—that’s what put us in the mess we have.”
"Lurching" is a perfect word. There is no coherent policy...it is simply reactive, and based more on perception and politics than any objective measures.
“Moving markets with rolling Fed incantations is tempting, but unhelpful to the Fed’s deliberations, and ultimately, to its mission,” Warsh said last year. “The central bank should find new comfort in working without applause and without the audience at the edge of its seats.”
Even better! And Mr. Warsh, while you are at it, perhaps you can stomp on the out-of-control spending on the insanely expensive and deeply offensive renovation of the Fed building. Golden toilets, massage rooms, fine dining, and marble fountains are for Congress! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

I'm probably going to be willowed, but -
In that movie, there is a scene where Merman, Berle and Terry-Thomas are fighting at the side of the road, when Jack Benny drives by and asks if they need help.
As it turns out, that part was actually supposed to be a cameo by Stan Laurel, which is why Benny is wearing a derby (they had shot his car arriving, but used a stand-in). Laurel, however, stuck to his resolve never to do a movie without Oliver Hardy, so the bit went to Benny.

And this was the entire point when Trump dismissed the obsession with releasing all the Epstein files of a case where the guy is dead and his co-defendant is in jail . And it was established long ago there is no ‘List’.
Trump was concerned about exactly what’s happening now. That innocent people will be falsely associated with Epstein because their names somehow appear in the released documents.

Apparently the Trump ballroom is going to come in under budget. Trump said he will put the funds leftover towards the triumphal arch he's building on one of the DC roundabouts, to honor the 250th anniversary.
Is there a department of governmental building projects? Can Trump go run it after he's done as president, and make sure all our government buildings get done on time and under budget? There would save the taxpayers a few trillion.

He knew both of these things. He should have been fired the minute he said it for being incompetent in his position.
I gave him a bit of leeway when he finally couldn't go along with the transitory inflation bullshit Biden foisted on us once he took office. But this asshole also cut rates to save Biden, and then refused to cut rates even though rates are technically probably still a bit too high because we all hate Trump in DC.

The fiasco of the renovation of the Fed headquarters into a palace whose cost overruns keep rising encapsulates the aristocratic Fed mentality. It's only a couple of billion down tge tubes, small potatoes compared to the national effects their actions have, but man -- the arrogance, the above-it-all sanctimony...
So, is quantitative easing going to be phased out? Is the nation going to stop creating trillions of dollars a year out of nothing, and spending it? Is the national debt ever going to start being a smaller number each year, instead of a bigger one? Are the people assuring us that national debt doesn't matter going to get the kick in the ass they deserve? I have no idea.

How could Trump be so hostile toward Powell, yet choose someone even more hawkish than Powell as Fed chair?So… is Trump back to being rational, or has Warsh already fallen in line with the White House
Trump's goons are going to gut the economy, but it will enrich his inner circle. They'll make off like bandits and flee the smoking remains of the United States. The alternative to capitalism is not communism, it's feudalism and that's the ultimate goal of the right.
with these economic games, Trump is just going to drive up prices and hit us with inflation again
Warsh also resigned from the Fed after the financial crisis because he didn't believe in quantitative easing and was scared of too much inflation. If we had done what he wanted to do back then our economy would have been decimated and we could still be recovering from it today.
But sure, by all means, give him the keys to the economy.

As long as you do start over - because the economic upheavals we experienced before the Fed were terrible, wild swings and mini-depressions due to currency shortages, among other things. I think if you charted out the Fed actions now, what you would find is that they cut rates too late, creating recessions that didn't need to be. To the extent they engage in all the other stuff they do that impacts real rates, they need to realize more quickly when they have made money too expensive.

Good heavens! I've paid no attention. ...costs ballooned from an initial $1.9 billion to over $2.5 billion, with estimates reaching $3.1 billion. Set for completion in 2027, the project is criticized for luxury upgrades, likened to the "Palace of Versailles."
Reportedly, factors cited for the massive budget increase include inflation, tariffs, asbestos removal, and the switch to premium materials, such as marble facades.
However, the Federal Reserve is self-funding its $2.5 billion headquarters renovation in Washington D.C., rather than using taxpayer-funded congressional appropriations. The project, covering the Eccles & 20th Street buildings, is paid by using interest income from government securities.
🤷♀️
I recall behind the scenes the Kennedy Center was a dump lacking repair and maintenance; asbestos was being removed in limited rooms and spaces; broken flooring and piping were common, etc.

BUT, if you looked at it as a weighted average? It SHOULD be factored in because it does make a huge difference on how people are able to live, imo. And that is the point of tracking inflation, right?

As a Moron noted, are they really suggesting that the Fed Governors could raise the interest rate to 50% and neither the Executive or Legislative branches, or the people for that matter, could do anything about it?
Posted by: toby928(c) at February 03, 2026 11:12 AM (jc0TO)
The thing about the supposed Fed control of rates is that they cannot get too far from the real market rate. Because what they actually control is the rate banks pay them/they pay banks/banks pay each other. If they tried going to 50% everyone should then just ignore them and they would destroy all power they have, even without congress getting involved.

Well she is far, far prettier than Maggie Gylehaal, who we were supposed to believe Bruce Wayne had the undying hots for. His casting choices are odd sometimes.
I will say this... Lupita is luminous and has a presence. We will see if she pulls it off. Race swapping or blind casting works if the actor is actually good. Denzel was marvelous in Much Ado. And one of the BEST portrayals of Zeus I've ever seen was Lance Reddick (RIP) in the new Percy Jackson TV series. He absolutely nailed the electric tension and menace just under the surface of the god of gods, and then let that menace boil over perfectly when needed. Amazing Zeus.

Spain has a current population of 49 million. It has increased since 2000 from about 40 million. This increase is almost entirely from third world nations. About 19 percent of the population is foreign born. That's does not include their children, which are at least another 10% of the population. And like the rest of the West, the native Spaniards are only making half the babies necessary to maintain current population. And now the govt. have legalized another 500,000 illegals in one fell swoop just to spike the ball in the faces of anybody that doesn't like this state of affairs.
I had no idea Spain was so screwed. Even worse and England, France and Germany.

It cannot be directly defined because it does not have immutable characteristics so to speak. Money is worth what the economy behind it is is worth. Conceivably that changes over time. Money supply needs to be aligned with economic output, which is why gold or silver were always stupid measures, but that is what we had to work with.

The problem with silver and gold is that their production is not related to economic growth or the lack thereof in a nation. Spain had plenty of gold and silver for at time and it ruined their economy and spurred horrendous inflation spilling over to Europe. Gold and silver prices caused all sorts of economic distortions along with world wide booms and busts according to distribution and mining. Also led to a lot of wars specifically to conquer or obtain those metals.
A sci fi writer, Christopher Stasheff, based his fiat currency on energy as in kilowatt hours. Not a bad basis as far as energy is life, economics, etc. and a growing economy naturally generates more energy than a moribund one. Hard to devalue a kilowatt hour either.
In a way, crypto is actually a proxy for energy inputs and the capital expenditures on computers to generate it. But, the question as to whether crypto is vulnerable to quantum computing is not answered yet.

Again, its lunacy that he holds a position from which we're all pretending that NOBODY can fire him. If he decided to shoot heroin during the middle of a television interview, is his position still "independent" and nobody can remove him? If "yes", you're at least being consistent. If NO, then how are the rest of fireable offenses (like incompetence) supposedly unavailable to remove him?

People look at conflicts like WWII as a model for what an invasion looks like where a foreign army comes in, beats your army and puts up its flag.
This is historically unusual. Most of the time invasion were a process where a new tribe came into your lands and if you couldn't force them away they would claim what had been your lands.
And that latter model is what's happening now.

Humphreys was fired specifically for no cause whatsoever and most interestingly his lawsuit dealt with back pay for the remainder of the term (he died before Scotus got around to ruling). The old remedy for an unjust firing of a regulatory bureaucrat was to pay the remainder of the salary and benefits for the term of office, not to order reinstatement. That judicial aggrandizement came later.
Arguably Powell with his cost overruns and apparent dishonesty before Congress can be fired for cause as the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 clearly provides. Same with Lisa Cook. A dishonest central banker cannot be a regulator of banks nor of monetary policy.
And having courts decide what constitutes cause is a major separation of powers issue. Twould be far better to simply provide that a president must give cause publicly in any order firing an executive official. The unjust firing can be remedied by money ordered by the courts rather than interfering with executive power itself.

Here's the thing about Nolan's "Odyssey":
If your making a Greek classical story with primarily Greeks in all the other roles- Why throw in a black woman in a role for an iconic Greek woman?
Make her Circe? Sure, why not? Nothing particularly Greek about her.
Or, make an African based "Odyssey". Yeah, kinda off kilter. But, that works too.
No one said Boo! about Kurosawa's adaptation of MacBeth, "Throne of Blood", which had all Japanese actors. Kurosawa didn't throw a Caucasian or black guy or gal in the mix to placate some meddlesome goofballs.
Or, make "Space Odyssey" with aliens out the wazoo. Again no one cares.
But if you're going classical, stay classical, Nolan.

Trump is a pragmatist/realist--asks for maximal but willing to settle for less especially if the implicit costs are too high. Frustrates a lot of people who are ideologues as Trump zigs and zags around obstacles. Tis a blessing and a curse but picking a fight with the markets AND the banksta owned Senators of GOPe is a bridge not worth crossing when Powell is gone anyway in a couple of months.
Same Trump tendencies are causing heartburn to ideologues in foreign affairs--removing Maduro but leaving the other, not siding much with either Russia or Ukraine, frustrating Israel on Gaza but at the same time smashing the nuclear sword of Iran. And now the massing of forces on Iran but the willingness to parley short of regime change.

Agree to disagree. She's one of the few young tartlets that is a triple threat. She was a great singer and dancer in Greatest Showman. Her acting is the same haughty character every time. But plenty of actors do that! It's whatever.
She rocks her fashion. Her outfits during all the Dune red carpets were always stunning. Depending on the role, looking pretty and haughty might be enough.

The problem is that nobody really believes this "stolen land" nonsense. The Indians don't, or else they'd have made a move to take it back. Instead, they whine and moan and fundraise off it.
The left don't believe it either, or else they'd give the land back. Who keeps stolen property? We ain't giving shit back. The left just uses it to virtue-signal and shit on the founding of our country.

BTW, I've asked a few Navajo co-workers "What's the deal with the feral dogs?"
Apparently in their culture they're just considered wild animals (who need to fend for themselves) and not pets.
And there have been efforts to have spay and neuter clinics on The Rez over the years, but still not sufficient to eradicate the problem.

They try, after on set of tribal elders sell it to some dumb white farmer and he improves the land to the point it's worth taking so the next set of tribal elders say "All the land on the rez should belong to the tribe, give it back", but the courts always say "You sold it fair and square, if you want it so bad buy it back".
And somehow despite all the casino money, they won't come up with the money to actually do that, "because it's ooooooour land (and never mind that we sold it and apparently can't grok the concept of a 99 year lease)"
In short, only a complete idiot buys land within the bounds of the rez, and I don't care how good the farmland is.

Reminds me of that scene from Fiddler on the Roof:
Yenta the Matchmaker: "Avram, I have the perfect match for your son -- Ruchle, the shoemaker's daughter!"
Avram: "Ruchle? She can hardly see. She's almost blind."
Yenta the Matchmaker: "Tell the truth, Avram, is your son so much to look at? The way she sees, and the way he looks, it's a perfect match!"

Thank you for answering that. However... If the viewer is left wondering what the hell is going on because the scene is too dark to see more than a tiny little part of the work, his skill may be questionable.

Rather than a young woman trying to earn her way through med school or flirting with a shy schoolboy or a Julia Roberts romancing Richard Gere, a prostitute is more likely to be a drug addict supporting a habit, or a trafficked immigrant trying to pay off the coyote who brought her across the border. Or a mentally ill transgender, giving blow jobs in a train station. Or an underaged runaway servicing a never-ending line of Bulgarian workmen for the Russian mafia. Abused both physically and psychology.
Truly a sordid thing.

On the other hand, Barbara Stanwyck (a far better actress than Davis, in my opinion) was very patient with basket-case Monroe in that Fritz Lang noir that they were both in, with Robert Ryan. When reporters asked Stanwyck her opinion of Monroe she simply said, "With a figure like that, you don't need to act."
Not really contradicting Bette's position, but putting a positive spin on it.

She also had a bit part in the Marx Brothers' 1949 flick Love Happy. In the book The Marx Bros. Scrapbook, Groucho leered, "Boy, did I want to fuck her. She wore this dress with bare tits. . .I may have tried to lay her once, but I didn't get anywhere with her. I don't think any of the boys did. Chico might have tried. She was the most beautiful girl I ever saw in my life."

A man offers gold coins and jewelry to woman lying on a bed – a carving of Cupid, the god of erotic love, on the bedpost in the foreground removes any doubt that it is an amorous encounter. The glass of wine would also have been associated with licentious behavior. Whether this is a transaction taking place in a brothel or a gift from an enamored lover is not explicit, but the coins strongly imply that it’s a commercial exchange.
Schalcken often painted candlelit scenes and here the warm glow casts the woman in a flattering light and emphasizes the softness of the pillow behind her. But it also highlights some hard, worldly realities: the gold glittering in the man’s hand, the pearls of the woman’s necklace – an expensive piece of jewelry – and the costly gold braid on her dress.
A Candlelight Scene: A Man offering a Gold Chain and Coins to a Girl seated on a Bed
Artist: Godfried Schalcken
Artist dates: 1643 - 1706
Date made: About 1665-70
Medium and support: Oil on copper
A well done painting but the model looks so young, it's sad (to me) but probably realistic long ago for the better classes of such working women.
Would pass hanging.
Thank you.

Davis was a bit of a camp queen, but she was also a good actress underneath it.
William Wyler knew how to get performances out of her in things like Jezebel. He never communicated with her about what she was doing right or wrong...he just had her do 3 dozen takes until he got what he wanted. They also banged.

Obamacare allowed insurance companies to own pharmacies. But it also forced doctors who owned their own hospitals to disband, never mind a lot of these were giving the best care. So the insurance companies rule now, not doctors.
My mom says her favorite doctor doesn't get to choose her own staff. Insurance companies chose them. And they are little snitches and report when her doctor takes too long with a patient or doesn't do things the insurance companies like. So her doctor had to snack around their own staff to help
Their patients.
This madness cannot hold.

Davis had a reputation. During WW2, a reporter doing a story on the Hollywood Canteen ran into a Marine who said his favorite star was Davis. When asked if he was a fan, he said, "Naw. I just hear she screws like a mink."

David Niven, in an interview with Dick Cavett, had a similar opinion of Wyler. He said Wyler could not communicate what he wanted but knew it when he heard or saw it. Niven mentioned during one of his stints acting under Wyler that Wyler was reading Variety and ignoring the actor. And ordering retake after retake.
Niven liked Wyler as a person but not as a director due to Wyler's lack of communication. Olivier found much of the same thing frustrating about Wyler in Wuthering Heights.

She had a reputation for sleeping with all her leading men. Jimmy Stewart's wife reportedly came to every minute he was on the set of Rear Window, during his scenes with Kelly, so she could make sure nothing would happen. Even if she trusted him...Grace was pretty irresistible.
I'm sure that was part of Hitchcock's obsession with her. She was more than willing to give it up... but only to young, dashing, handsome men.

Heston was doing the same shot over and over in Ben-Hur. It was just him walking down a hallway.
Eventually, he asked Wyler what he was doing wrong. Cornered, Wyler had to answer. "You kicked that cup in the first take. I liked it. I was hoping you'd do it again."
"Well, I didn't do it again because you made me do a retake."

"Coffee. In the morning. With her."

Not Yodaette but the internet says things such as:
As of January 20, 2025, the U.S. government rescinded a long-standing policy that protected "sensitive areas" like hospitals, clinics, and schools from immigration enforcement actions.
Approximately 1.1 million healthcare workers are foreign-born non-citizens, including many nurses, nursing assistants, and home care workers. The removal of protected status has placed these critical staff members at high risk for detention and deportation, exacerbating staffing shortages.
Nurses are caught between their ethical obligation to provide care to all patients, regardless of status, and the legal requirement to comply with immigration enforcement.
Immigrant-heavy care facilities, particularly in home care and nursing homes, are losing staff due to deportation fears, which directly threatens the safety of the patients they serve.

I'm probably going to be willowed, but -
In that movie, there is a scene where Merman, Berle and Terry-Thomas are fighting at the side of the road, when Jack Benny drives by and asks if they need help.
As it turns out, that part was actually supposed to be a cameo by Stan Laurel, which is why Benny is wearing a derby (they had shot his car arriving, but used a stand-in). Laurel, however, stuck to his resolve never to do a movie without Oliver Hardy, so the bit went to Benny.

The Morning Report — 2/3/26
On Jan. 12, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison initiated a lawsuit on behalf of the North Star State, along with municipal co-plaintiffs Minneapolis and St. Paul, against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Todd Lyons and the rest of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement apparatus. In his press conference announcing the suit, Ellison emphasized the same basic arguments as his formal complaint: Namely, that ICE’s enforcement “surge” in Minnesota amounts to a “violation of the Tenth Amendment and the sovereign laws and powers granted to states.” In essence, Ellison and his Minnesota’s Democrat Party leadership confreres argue that the constitutional federalism articulated in the Tenth Amendment and its corollary of “states’ rights” can shield the Land of 10,000 Lakes from the long enforcement arm of federal immigration law. Ellison and Minnesota Democrats claim that by declaring their state and cities to be illegal alien “sanctuaries,” they can “nullify” federal immigration law. Stop me if you’ve heard that one before. Democrats in America have a long and inglorious history of invoking “states’ rights” and shirking federal law. It has never ended well. . . On Thursday, Trump border czar Tom Homan announced that the administration is prepared to draw down federal personnel in Minnesota if the state cooperates. We’ll see if that transpires, but I have my suspicions. Historically, Democrat Party subversives and insurrectionists have not been known for their cooperation with the feds. The good news for President Donald Trump is that he has a clear legal precedent for how to respond, if the neo-Confederate uprising in Minnesota continues apace. On April 15, 1861, in response to the attack on Fort Sumter three days prior, President Abraham Lincoln invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807. Trump has recently been musing about doing the same. Will Trump pull the trigger? Maybe. After all, there’s nothing new under the sun.I suppose it was easy-peasy lemon-squeezey for President Trump to scramble the USAF to pulverize Iran's nuke sites. But putting down an insurrection here at home and even openly declaring we are in one, when much too large a segment of the populace does not see it that way or even understand the meaning of the word let alone have an iota of awareness of the history of their own nation as author Josh Hammer details in his essay. My fear and oddly enough my hope is that it really would be the bitter end. As of now we are at the very bitter beginning, or in the midst of several decades of a political and cultural upheaval that President Trump's miraculous trifecta of presidential wins has at the very least slammed the brakes on. There are signs here and there that he and we have shoved the Overton Window into reverse and of course that is why we are witnessing the goings on in Minneapolis and elsewhere, as the Democrat Left senses the political and cultural revolution they inflicted on us in their multi-generational quest for absolute power is perhaps on the verge of collapse, or at the least being derailed for a long time to come (please God). On that note there is a bit of positive news to report that let's hope is not a one-off:
The president of the union representing Seattle police officers said Friday he would not let his members implement what he called a “ludicrous” proposal from Democrat Mayor Katie Wilson of Seattle. Wilson issued orders to local police, directing them to “investigate, verify, and document” activity by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for potential prosecution, similar to directives issued by Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Fox 13 Seattle reported. Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) President Mike Solan responded to Wilson’s order with a post on X Friday. (RELATED: Seattle Mayor Proudly Admits She Is Not Seeking Probe Into Somali Scammers) “Toothless virtue signaling rhetoric like this has already cost two people their lives,” Solan posted on the SPOG X account, referencing the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area during immigration enforcement operations. “The concept of pitting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous, and will not happen. I will not allow SPOG members to be used as political pawns.” Citizen journalists began probing Somali-run day care centers in Washington state after independent journalist Nick Shirley posted a 42-minute video that went viral showing him visiting Somali-run day-care centers in the Minneapolis area, propelling the issue of welfare fraud into the public eye. Initial reports of fraud in Minnesota by City Journal in November prompted the Department of Homeland Security to deploy hundreds of agents from multiple agencies to the Minneapolis area. Wilson previously stated she was not seeking a probe into reports that Somali scammers were engaged in welfare fraud during an interview with Seattle-area TV station KOMO that was posted on X Jan. 7. “This whole issue is not really about fraud, right? It’s about dividing and conquering,” Wilson claimed during the interview. “It’s about making an immigrant community a target, right? There’s no reason to assume, based on the identity of a day care operator, that their small business is doing anything wrong.”Of course, Seattle is a Leftist hell hole and its citizens made it that way by perpetually voting Democrat. Far too many are radical fundamentalist true believers of Leftist orthodoxy, so we'll see how many Prettis and Goods there are who will take up arms against the SPD and ICE, or perhaps Federal troops, should it come to that. But that Seattle even has a Police leadership that can and will vocally stand up to this insane mayor I take as a good sign. Hopefully it's not a fluke. Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Its ironic that the DEI/57 Genders crowd still uses the term "racist" as anthropologists and geneticists agree that "race" is a "social construct", not a biologically valid way to classify humans. So those hung up on dismissing biological differences in people (sex) as claiming "social construct" are elevating something based on "social construct".
Granted, stupid people conflate "race" with "ethnicity", its "ethnicity" (tribal affiliation) that has conflicts since ethnic groups can include people of varying arbitrary visible physical traits and characteristics (aka "race").

That demographic checkmark comes straight from Big City police forms. I'm thinking Chicago gave us the "White Hispanic" and "Black Hispanic" (aka Haitian, Dominican, etc.)
How we learned of it is from the Florida police form that was used by stupid reporters when "reporting" on the George Zimmerman / St Trayvon scene. They saw "White Hispanic" checked on the form, and that was all it took.

Actually I do, and you should too.
In English Common-Law Traditions the idea that jurors (including the judge) should come from the community.
Where "Latin-American immigrant" is a notable attribution, this is a confession that this tradition is violated.
The Sixth Amendment guarantees an impartial jury. By stringing along adjectives as a distinctive, they are also confessing that the judge is disqualified as an objective court participant as being a notable pervert and foreigner (from different ideas of law and order).
But being ruled by perverts and foreigners is On Brand for the Demonic Party.

You can thank the Enlightenment and pseudoscientific anthropology for its current understanding.
The ancient roots (as I understand it), come from Latin "gens/genus/natio" and Greek γένος or "genos" which would denote "kind", "type", "lineage", "people", etc.
So to denote humanity as a distinctive from critters, they would add "humanum" for "genus humanum" or "the human kind/type" or "genus hominum" for the "kind/type of men".
That is, "race" simply meant category or lineage. I think "race" itself derives from the Italian "razza" and Old French or Middle English borrowed a lot from its neighbors.

Sovereign powers are not granted to the States. They are sovereign in and of themselves. They were in the beginning, and are now, under federalism. It's why the name of our nation is the United States of America. The States are not mere administrative satrapies of the national government - they are, by nature, independent and sovereign.
Of course, in the agreement that binds us together, they agree to cede some of that sovereignty to the national (federal) government. I happen to think they've ceded way too much since the turn of last century, well outside the bounds of the Constitution. But, immigration law is not one of those places.
But, that phrase shows, IMO, Ellison does not know what he's talking about.

Not clinical. Cline. It's the process of tracking phenotypical similarities and differences across geography and time. It shows how the different races of people emerged and migrated.
None of this would be possible if race were a "social construct." It's not an intellectual superimposition of social values any more than sex is. It's a biological reality. Ethnicity is a social construct. Not race.
There could conceivably be a future where all races intermarry sufficiently to eliminate any measurable differences. But today is not that day.

The SAVE Act has these main provisions:
- Proof of citizenship required to obtain registration
- ends or limits online or automatic registration; must be done "in person"
- Strengthens the NVRA voter roll maintenance requirements
- grants a private cause of action to enforce
- criminal penalties for noncitizens registering
- However, it does NOT affect existing registrations but will if one updates their registration.
Also, fascinating: It directly overrules several SCOTUS precedent; bc they gutted the NVRA integrity provisions.
But those ruling were, "if Congress wanted this, they'd have passed it."
Opps.
Lot's of talk of forcing a speaking filibuster; exhaust the Dems and force a simple majority vote.
Let's say it's signed by Trump by March 1.
It won't apply to the spring primaries.
Then, nationwide injunction OFC.
But, this is the tricky part for the left--bc the TX redistricting kinda set the outer limit of Purcell (no major voting law changes too close to the election) at ~90 days.
MN begins early voting on 9/18/26. Less 90 is 6/18/26.
But MN allows registration up to Election Day, so F 'em.

Let the left have their tantrum.
And their cartel judges issue illegal injunctions.
Because it'll be upheld by SCOTUS.
Their own precedent says "Congress will have to pass a law on this for it to be Constitutional."
And that will sweep away a whole bunch of other bullshit the left has been hiding behind to commit their voting fraud.
Bost (the IL case) grants standing to campaigns to sue to enforce election laws.
And the SAVE Act grants private groups standing.
And the DOJ suits forcing the states to turn over their voting rolls will have been decided in the DOJ favor.
And any new or changed registrations MUST comply with the SAVE Act.
But, Republicans will still have to get out and vote the fall ....

Just like the gated communities that surround Trump’s golf courses. I don’t really see how it’s any different. No one is keeping anyone out except for ICE agents.
These aren’t protestors. These are community service leaders. Like, ya know, what the PD *should* be.
I have heard of this same thing happening in other countries when governments stop protecting their citizens. It's a peaceful way to keep communities safer and prevent escalation when you have no other options.
If ICE manages to drive through, at least the immigrants will have ample time to flee and a protest against the agents will start.
It's community self defense. It stops when ICE stops attacking us.
Even by the comments, you can tell this splits the movement and divides support. Without any evidence it will actually do anything to deter ICE, while pissing-off normies.

As I wrote, the removal of a cancerous lung mucinous adenoma carcinoma along with the lower right lung lobe roughly a month ago was successful.
But a post-op aneurism/bleed soon developed. That required a quick second reentry operation into the lung to stop the hemorrhaging—adding considerable time under anesthesia and requiring about five blood transfusions.
As a result, over the last 30 days, I developed low red blood counts, fatigue, and bouts of arterial fibrillation. All that has sort of slowed my recovery.

BREAKING: Illegal Alien arrested in Miami for attempting to kidnap and rape an Uber driver.
And these illegal alien rapists are who the Democrat Party wants to abolish ICE over.

The anti-ICE lunatics have their own databases they upload plate info to, from any vehicle suspected of being part of ICE. There are RUMORS state and local officials may be helping, too.

I stayed up all night on election night, as I usually do. When Trump was giving his victory speech in the middle of the night, I heard lots of fireworks going off in a park just up the street. It was a mild night and I was flush with exhuberance over Trump's victory, so I said what the hell, I'll walk down and join the celebration.
I was the only white guy there. It was all Latinoss. I stayed and had some Modelos and watched the impromptu fireworks display.
Our pasty white mayor doesn't care about those folks. It's like the only MAGA left here are Latinos.

In order to explain that variation.

This is pretty hilarious - at the time he was elected I remember posting that there were only 2 paths open to him:
1) change laws and try to confiscate as much wealth as he could, like any dedicated Marxist
2) do nothing except big talk, and get exposed as the flim flam man that he always was, promising pie in the sky with no idea of how to pay for any of it.

He was also attacked at a campus speech years ago. First, the mob tried to shout him down as he spoke, then they set off the fire alarm (IIRC), as he and the sponsoring professors fled the building they were attacked, and then after escaping that, the mob was out looking for the car in which he fled to attack again. One of the professors had head injuries that have had a lasting effect.

Of course. There's nobody with the popular support to obviate the GOPe, and they haven't gone anywhere. They'll immediately revert to form, but with red hats. They're just playing a waiting game.
I think the best thing Trump could do would be to form a new Party and name a successor before he leaves office. There's no way his movement can survive within the GOP.

Daily Tech News 3 February 2026
Top Story
- SpaceX has merged with xAI in an all-stock deal that values the combined company at $1.25 trillion. (CNBC)
In a turnaround from recent nonsense, 80% of that valuation is SpaceX, the rocket and satellite internet company. 80% of the rest is xAI. And the remainder is X, which is to say, Twitter.
The deal apparently completed yesterday.
This also ties into SpaceX's application to launch a million orbital datacenters. Solar energy is plentiful and uninterrupted in space, and delusional rioters are few and far between.
Tech News
- The Trump administration plans to spend $12 billion to establish a national stockpile of critical minerals. (Tom's Hardware)
Rare earth elements and the like, for when China decides to shut off the supply again.
- Moltbook, a social network for AI agents to share information, conspire to launch memecoin scams, and test out prompt injection attacks on each other in an attempt to steal their owners' mothers' credit card number, got hacked. (Wiz)
Well, not so much hacked, as it included the administrator password to its database directly in the public website.
And nothing of value was lost. Except that they patched it and it's back up.
- Intel has announced its Xeon 600 workstation processors, based on the Granite Rapids architecture from 2024. (Tom's Hardware)
Not surprising that Intel only compares performance with its own chips and not with competitors.
The processors start at $499 for 12 cores and 80 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and go up to $7699 for 86 cores and 128 PCIe lanes.
They support up to 4TB of RAM, theoretically, but that would set you back $112,000 at current prices.
- Speaking of which, Raspberry Pi prices have gone up. (Liliputing)
The only models unaffected are the 1GB Pi 4 and Pi 5. The 16GB Pi 5 increased by more than 70%, from $120 to $205.

The Audubon Aquarium was pretty sharp when we visited in the mid-2000s. There's an IMax theatre on the riverfront too, I think. A new streetcar runs along the river as well, connecting the Riverwalk area with the French Quarter -- though it's not a long walk in any case. I suppose we'll stroll around in my old neighborhood for a bit too, maybe have a coffee on Royal or Chartres Street, or on Canal. There's even an IHOP ($$$ nowadays) near the Ritz Hotel, which I remember as Dillard's and before that a D.H. Holmes department store.

Fen, I'm sure the aquarium denizens themselves will be wonderful. They have some penguins (!), believe it or not, plus enormous tanks full of various fishes -- including sharks. Amazing to me that the sharks don't feed on the other fish right in front of Maysie and the tots.
I think the penguins are not from the Antarctic Circle, though, but from farther north, around South Africa.

When you think about it, there's not much point in going to the theaters. For a price lower than one movie ticket, you can rent movies through various streaming services, get better food and drinks and not have to worry about getting home.
But I do fondly remember the cheap theaters in college that would charge $3 per ticket.

I can remember $1.50 tickets for first-run films, at least during the daytime hours in the summer (True Grit, Bullitt, etc.). And $1.00 third-run multiplexes.
(And my mother, who'd been young during the Depression, saying, "No movie is worth a dollar-fifty!")

Glad to hear that you made it to Melania.
I did see a trailer for The Sheep Detectives movie, which looked like it could be cute.
Theater costs are getting stupid expensive though.
Two tickets, a tub of nasty popcorn and a bottle of water came out to $49.00.
I won't go to a theater for random entertainment anymore, but for specific movies.
Can't afford it at those prices.

There are very few movies that I want to see these days, since I can basically predict the general plotline (the execrable Send Help being a perfect example; if you can't determine the end of the movie just from the trailer, you must have been in a cave for the last 20 years).
But some movies demand to be seen on the big screen, and for those of us who don't have home theaters or yuge TVs, a movie theater is a good thing to have around. Check out Fathom Entertainment for monthly lists of old movies, recent ones and Met Opera broadcasts.

The Cornell Theatre in Burbank had 50 cent double features when I was a kid. Later, when I was actually at Cornell University, they had movies for a buck. And there were movies playing on campus pretty much every day of the week. Saw a lot of movies I wouldn't have otherwise seen.

All the panty-twisters got upset at Trump taking over the Kennedy Center, persuaded a whole host of booked acts to say they wouldn't appear as long as Trump pollutes the air there
As though Washington was some kind of cultural mecca instead of being an industrial town (the industry being tax eating).
A couple of centuries ago, actors and actresses were thought little better than thieves and whores and musicians were sent off to eat with the servants. That seems like a good practice to return to.

Last year they had a 75th anniversary showing of Sunset Boulevard, so I went to my local AMC theater to see it.
Including myself, there were only three people there! And from where I sat, I couldn't see the others, so I could pretend I was Billy Wilder watching a private screening. But the fact that this indisputable classic drew nobody saddened me.

Of course, many of them today are progressives, but I really can't think of the lovely Maureen O'Hara or of Rosalind Russell being whores or of Paul Schofield ( Darn autocorrect wants to give that incorrect spelling of his last name of the actor in "A Man For All seasons) being a thief or the fellow in "Rumpole of the Bailey" being a crook.

The Climate Question -The Climate Question
What is climate anxiety and how can you cope with it?
Topline: Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander claims one of the city’s health insurance funds has “no path to solvency” after labor unions used it to cover pay raises, Weight Watchers and more. Key facts: New York’s taxpayer-funded Health Insurance Stabilization Fund owes $3.1 billion to outside vendors and the city that it’s unable to pay. The actual amount is likely much higher because expenses from 2024 and 2025 have not been totaled yet, according to Lander’s Dec. 30 audit. The fund was created in 1985 to help employees afford the city’s Group Health Insurance (GHI) plan, a more costly alternative to the older Health Insurance Plan (HIP).

Communism never delivers anything other than misery.
Coming soon, the MSM will begin to argue "You can't blame him (and by extension communism) because he's only been in office for ___ months."

I saw last weekend a bunch of sad wimmen in mourning. I think it was an organized nurse day of mourning the hero who either was working or wasn't (rumors are around) in MN. Regardless, he spit rudely & kicked a car& then broke a rib being a jackass.
Oddly, in the article, I saw a weird "group" of old school (which I am apparently, but without the cape) nurses in white uniforms and blue capes. I thought wth is this?
Looked them up and they do funerals for nurses, like the Marines. I am unsure if they sing, as I was not that interested. To belong to the wackos, you pay a small one time fee, provide your own white uniforms and white hose, and sew your cape from a Simplicity pattern. Which would automatically put me at odds because I ain't sewing that and going to funerals.
I just thought y'all needed to know this. This trend will probably not spread.

"It" has been damaging the country, and society, for decades. Judicial usurpation, arrogance, and domination by low-IQ types.
I recall the absurd, unprofessional, slanderous, and totally baseless and irrelevant commentary by the district judge who froze the first "Muslim ban" (narrator: it wasn't, of course, anything like a "Muslim ban") in the first term. All kinds of idiotic assertions about motive - from a glorified clerk, i.e. a judge - about things and people far above his understanding and of course ridiculously outside his actual power or competence.
I said to friends back then, in 2017, that the failure to repudiate that indefensible lawless act by a cretin "judge" was a potential game-changer. And here we are, where it's 90% worse.

The Babylon Bee just dropped a fucking thermonuclear truth disguised as satire, and it’s so surgically precise it’s carving straight through Hollywood’s rotten core.
“Pedophiles At Grammys Rally Against Trump Deporting Their Own Kind”
Read that again.
Let it sink in. They didn’t miss. They didn’t soften it.
They went straight for the jugular of an industry that’s spent decades shielding predators behind awards shows, private jets, and “artistic genius” excuses.
These glitter-covered ghouls clutch their statues on stage while the casting couch runs red with the blood of innocence.
They weep for “immigrant rights” not out of compassion...fuckkkkkk no.
It’s self-preservation. It’s terror that the same policies dragging criminal aliens back across the border might one day drag their own degenerate brethren out of the mansions and into the light.
Hollywood isn’t broken. It was built this way.
A machine that chews up children and spits out traumatized husks, all while lecturing the rest of us about ethics.
And when someone finally points at the emperor’s shriveled, naked dick? They scream “hate speech.”

I had a co-worker that drove his 3/4 ton truck out onto the lake and lost it at the ice break where the current from the river flows.
Best part, the county made him pay to have his truck removed from the lake.

Something is waaay screwy with Iran. Peter Orszag, who was a finance guy before and after being Obama's head of OMB, said a weird thing recently. I saw an interview with him about two weeks ago from Davos. He said flat out he expected Trump to act over the weekend (this was on a Fri).
I haven't the slightest idea who he's talking to or why he would open his mouth. He also seems a strange option for deliberately spreading disinfo. I have zero explanations, other than he was flat out talking out his ass. The whole thing is odd.

They've got the outer hatch closed now. That little snafu delayed things considerably. They were planning on two "terminal countdowns", going from T-10m down to about T-33s, the point where the automated internal system would take over. They get down there, then recycle back to T-10m and do it again.
They're only going to do one terminal countdown now because of the delay.

The airframe is the original with repairs and updates as required over the decades. We only have B-52H models now, built between 1960 and 1963 (essentially); the engines are TF-33s just as delivered. The aircraft should get new engines in the next few years. The avionics are almost all later, better systems and the wiring is almost all changed during modifications. The basic design is nearly a WW2 fuselage with swept wings to allow slightly faster speeds. These things aren't fast! If the AF wants to fly them another 40 years it could be done.

That LH2 leak was apparently fixed. Liquid hydrogen, at -423F is tricky, dangerous stuff. Tiny little molecules that leak through just about anything.
I was just reading. A leaking LH2 valve on the S-IVB (3rd stage) replenish circuit nearly scrubbed the Apollo 11 launch. It started leaking just as Neil Armstrong and the others were headed to the pad to get onboard. They set a "Red team" (these are the hydrogen boys) out to tighten some bonnet bolts. That didn't work and it kept leaking.
So, they ended up improvising. They poured water on the valve to heat it up (and said water froze instantly, but warmed up the valve), blocking it completely, and then manually feathered the main fill valve to replenish it, allowing the launch to go forward.
That was tricky with the main fill valve, because it's normal flow rate was 1200 GPM. Replenish flow is only about 100 GPM.

The AF went through a couple of earlier new engine exercises years ago. The problem with adding larger fan engines is ground clearance. The secondary problem, even now, is the basic airspeed limitation of the aircraft. New engines will provide greater reliability (the TF-33 is ancient) and much greater fuel efficiency. So you get 8 whether you want 'em or not!!

Normally, in the state system you have work ten years to qualify for a pension. I knew that. There was one exception. If you were 44 or older during your employment and you worked at least one year past the 5 year vesting schedule, in other words 6 years, you qualified for a monthly pension. I worked 6 years and 1 day. So now I've got an extra $128/month and I'm going to receive a retroactive check for the 24 months from when I turned 65. God is good and my wife gets alot of credit too.

I guess that was then and this is now, with heightened security.
Had a Jampboree at the United States Navy Radio Station Northwest, near Moyock, in northeastern NC.
Also, wearing our uniforms, we were granted a tour (had a lot of Navy active and retired as Scout Leaders) of a Boomer docked in Norfolk at the Sub Piers. Went below deck, where I learned hatches are small - the hard way, and we saw the nuclear missiles in their silos, two rows, many deep. The Bubbleheads said while at sea they jogged around 'Sherwood Forrest' for excercise.

We're running premium in it. Gal we bought it from only ran premium. She took excellent care of the car. They lived in Idaho. When we picked the car up in December we paid 3.59 for premium. Regular was 3.69 in Washington. It's down to 3.49/gl but premium is 4.69.

Why the appellation "US"?
Is this an effort to distract from all the " Immigrant man" stories or is it newsworthy on its own because "US" is rare?

I was okay at lashing.
But where I shined was the reflector oven. And hot coals. My Scoutmaster always said he never went hungry when RickZ's patrol was around. We just didn't do weinies on a stick. For the time, we ate well, spaghetti with meat sauce, e.g.. Supplemented with some surplus C-Rats.
Our little campsite we used, now a subdivision in northeastern NC, had a little shooting range. In the summer, we swam in the blackwater small river onto which our campsite abutted; just had to throw rocks/sticks in the water first to scare away the cottonmouths. Never went across the 15 yard wide (?) river as it was salt marsh for another good 15 plus yards with no visible shore. Not so nice critters in that.

I doubt BSA can make a real comeback. The society that produced it doesn't exist anymore. The involvement of gays and girls, the way in which independence and self-reliance have been chipped away at for young adults (a term that isn't really even used much anymore with respect to older teens apart from referring to things like YA fiction). We did things as Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts that would send modern helicopter parents into a spin.

I had a cow-orker who crewed on a B-52, and who was stationed at Edwards AFB when the B70 went down. They pulled every warm body they had, lined them with about 10 feet between them, a mile or so wide, up at one end of the crash site and walked them about 10 miles through the desert. They each had a handful of little flag stakes to mark anything they found.

A new law, a new commission, a new bureau; throwing tax dollars at it was the answer to everything.

WRT ice melt, some years ago I read a Scandi alternative to salt. Tried it and it worked so well I never went back to salt.
Mini pine bark nuggets! They provide good traction. Whenever the ice thaws, they float to the top and continue to work during subsequent freeze/thaw cycles. Come springtime, just sweep them aside and they eventually get chopped up by the mower and /or decompose. Not a huge enviro-weenie, but when a common-sense alternative shows up, I tend tend to latch onto it.

The basic math is that launching a million tons per year of satellites generating 100 kW of compute power per ton would add 100 gigawatts of AI compute capacity annually, with no ongoing operational or maintenance needs. Ultimately, there is a path to launching 1 TW/year from Earth.

...as assistant secretary of the navy, Roosevelt urged preparation of war with Spain to gain control of Cuba.
He sincerely believed that “America’s incorporation of all adjacent lands was the virtually inevitable fulfillment of a moral mission delegated to the nation by Providence itself.”
In 1902, as president, Roosevelt threatened to fire on German warships when they blockaded Venezuela after a debt default. In 1903 he fomented a secessionist revolt against the Colombian government to give America control of Panama.
And, when Canada laid claim to the Yukon coast, Roosevelt warned that it was “going to be ugly” if Canada did not accept that the coast was part of Alaska. (Look at a map. You’ll notice Roosevelt got his way.)

I was in the explorers for little while. At 15 or 16 I thought I was getting too old for boy scouts and figured Explorers sounded like something worth while. The only problem was I wasn't driving, and the meetings were held pretty far from where I lived, so I didn't last. It was hard getting a ride.

The reasoning is audacious but logical: AI's hunger for power is insatiable. Terrestrial data centers can't scale fast enough without "imposing hardship on communities and the environment."
The solution? Put the data centers in space.

I never knew that about the Explorers. In my day day, the Eagle Scouts were kind of the pinnacle of Scouting.
My dad attended high school in a rural east Tennessee county in the early 1940s. He had the opportunity to take a class in aeronautics and learned to fly a plane. (Doubtless due to our involvement in WW2).. Nonetheless, it's a stark difference in what kids are right in public schools nowadays

Dens are Cub Scouts, age 7 to 10. The adult leader at den level has ALWAYS been the Den Mother. At those ages, a female (mother substitute) is a better fit. The Cubmaster and Assistant Cubmaster were male. Ceremonies and formal stuff was run by the males. Boy Scouts, 11 up were all male. There was a hell of a lot empirically derived psychological design in the BSA. Then they hired academic psychologists at national to determine program design. The Explorer program was the foot in the door. Boys bailed out at puberty, because the little head took control. Scout meeting, or some activity that put them with those formerly-icky girls? So, the geniuses said, "Let's create a vocational oriented program, as opposed to the quasi-military BS, and let girls in. That was bad enough, but they never figured out the balance between the programs and they became competitive instead of complementary. A boy had to choose.
The rot progressed.

One of the advantages of getting your tanker trucks down there filled from a pipeline out of Texas, as opposed to the people in PHX, whose gas comes out of LA.

Any car(SUV, etc) built in the last 7 or 8 years can run on regular with no damage. If the compression is too high for the octane you're running ( within limits) the ECM will retard the timing to prevent knocking (predetonation). That will reduce your mileage. You have to determine whether the cost (extra gas) of that is more than you are paying extra for the higher octane.

Sweetheart, I'm in Alaska. There are always 6 more weeks of winter, and we don't much care. Usually, we get planting weather by the last week in May, sometimes not until June. That ground hog has nothing on us, and like I said, we don't much care.

I buy my fuel almost exclusively at one station. I 've known them for about 30 years. The dad, who has since passed away, was somewhat of a mentor when I got into the fuel business in the 90s. The additive package is the difference. Every tanker in this area fills at one of two racks. You want cheap gas, fill up at Costco.

In the mid 90s, EPA set standards for gasoline additives. You basically had 3 options at the rack. Top Tier, standard or bare minimum. Shell did have their own exclusive blend.It was basically equivalent to TT.

When Nixon ordered his plumbers to make it so that the reporter Woodward (?) never bothered him again G. Gordon Liddy, in his book "Will" said that they all being lawyers discussed this and determined that the only way to insure that Woodward would never bother Nixon again was to kill Woodward.
After some discussion that option was deemed to be a no go...after some discussion.

I had two duckies for Easter when I was about 3yrs old. There are photos of me with heart-shaped sunglasses and pig tails admiring them. I remember them being a bit stinky (this was in my grandmother's back yard). When they were grown my father took them to his lake where they did not survive. We guess due to foxes (who apparently never wanted the crazy rooster who chased us years later, but killed the hens).
I was at an Easter egg hunt once and there were baby chicks. One girl loved hers so much she killed it right there during the hunt.
I don't have good bird memories. We had a parakeet named Ricky (from Ricky Ricardo) who hated us, because we stuck our fingers in his cage as little kids and he pecked us.

The turkeys love it when I do early spring burns at the farm.
The subsequently exposed black top soil always warms up much faster than the adjacent ground that has 3' of prairie grass insulation on it.
The bugs hatch much earlier in the warm ground and I have seen lines of turkeys marching across to sweep up the bugs.
It almost looks like a military operation. I think they deliberately drive the bugs in front of them.

Once the kinks were resolved, the Mk. 14 was *the* torpedo in submarines up until the mid-70's or so, because it was the only combat-proven torpedo in the inventory.
The Navy wanted more, and put the blueprints out for bid. The lowest bid was $2mil+/copy. The Navy declined.

Consider too, once you actually fire torpedos, the gig is up. They know where you are, and the convoy escorts and such are not happy with you, and start dropping depth charges, widely considered unpleasant.
They just got done sailing 6000 miles, burning thousands of gallons of diesel, getting lined up to take a shot, and the fuckers are duds, or might even circle around and blow yer ass up. And it took a lot of persuasion to get the brass to admit the torpedos were defective.

The Chief of BuOrd during the Mark 14 torpedo fiasco was Rear Admiral William Henry Purnell Blandy.
Blandy later rose to full admiral, commanded Joint Task Force One for the 1946 Bikini Atoll atomic tests and led the Atlantic Fleet before retiring.
No formal punishment resulted from the torpedo issues.
Two unchangeable rules in the Navy:

We had an infestation of them one summer. The exterminator came out multiple times and sprayed. That killed them but they kept coming. Every day I had to vacuum up dead ants inside the back door and hose them off the porch. Then they just disappeared as suddenly as they came.

The best advice I've ever heard about street fights is, most guys, especially drunks, will completely wear themselves out within a minute. Just dodge and weave and let them punch away till they're exhausted, it won't take long, and then you can take almost anyone. How big they are doesn't even matter. Many people know how to throw a proper punch or kick. Very few can keep it up for long.
Boxing workouts kick your butt for a reason!

Texas A&M-Recommended Orange Oil and Dish Soap Ant Killer
The most effective organic method for killing fire ants, validated by Texas A&M University research, uses 1.5 ounces of orange oil (such as Medina Orange Oil) and 3 ounces of Dawn dish soap mixed into 1 gallon of water. This solution is applied as a mound drench during early morning or late afternoon when ants are most active inside their nests.
How it works: The d-limonene in orange oil breaks down the ants' exoskeletons, causing suffocation. The dish soap helps the solution penetrate the mound and stick to the ants.
Application: Pour the mixture directly onto the fire ant mound. The treatment typically kills about 90% of ants on the first application.
Follow-up: Repeat the treatment once a week for three total applications to eliminate nearly all ants (99.99% effectiveness). This is because surviving ants may be deep in the nest, and multiple applications ensure the queen and colony are eradicated.
Source: This method is based on controlled studies by Texas A&M University entomologists and is also referenced in publications like Mother Earth News and The Dirt Doctor.

Same brand had food grade and pest control. Common question was "what is the difference". Brand supplier basically said exact same product on the bag. Usage instructions depend on application.
I think at the time "food grade" was like 1/4 the price. Price / pound goes down fast with larger packages too. Got about a 15 lb bag that may last for years.

Newsom talks like a fag and his shit's all retarded. Is he a serious candidate nationwide? He seems too pale and too (beta) male.
Posted by: BarelyScaryMary
===============
Vogue just did a feature on him and it's to barf -- for any normal person. Which means it's scary. This is how he's going to be served up. The article is titled "Gavin Newsom Is Setting His Own Rules."
>>Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome, his hair seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his final State of the State address. “In Washington, the president believes that might makes right,” pronounces California governor Gavin Newsom. “Secret police, businesses raided, windows smashed, citizens detained, citizens shot, masked men snatching people in broad daylight….” His tone is temperate, but the words echo through the State Capitol’s Assembly chamber, the august backdrop for his speech. “Lining the pockets of the rich; crony capitalism at an unimaginable scale,” he goes on. “Rolling back rights…. Rewriting history.” Newsom shakes his head, seeming more mournful than angry. Seeming, yes, presidential. “None of this is normal.”
It must drive Trump nuts....

‘unelectable nationally.’”
What I resent most about California politicians is this: for a very long time the thing everyone said about California was “I’d love to live there, if I could afford it.” People who wanted to live there said it, and for people who left there it was often their only complaint. Now there are tens of millions of people who would never ever live there even when they can afford it, me and my family included. I no longer envy Californians. I hate them despise them spit upon them for utterly wrecking paradise.
And that is Gavin NewScum’s problem: he and his ilk have utterly ruined one of the most beautiful places on earth.

BREAKING: DC based federal judge Ana Reyes (Biden appointee) has just blocked DHS from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000+ Haitians in the U.S. whose legal status was set to expire *tomorrow*, which would have opened them up to deportation and a loss of their work authorizations.
In a scathing opinion, Judge Reyes says DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doesn’t have the law or facts on her side, and writes that it is “substantially likely” that Noem has “hostility toward nonwhite immigrants.”
Judge Reyes writes that the plaintiffs who sued DHS aren’t “killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies,” and says that they are a neuroscientist, a lab assistant, a nurse, and an economics major who were all facing deportation.
I am reaching out to DHS for comment/reaction.

In 1974 I went on a travel study to London. The big discussions with strangers were of "Tricky Dick" and asking me to streak. In four different pubs over the course of 3wks I was asked to streak. I told them no.
I got an A because I knew my English Lit (second year) and the really old professor told me I would because I had a pint at a pub. I guess some would not drink warm British beer but I did.
I also learned to drink Coke with lemon and no ice, because I am a hard core Coke fan. The real stuff. I have one about every 2wks or when I have a headache with 2 Advil. This is the alarm that I'm not having a great day without wearing a sign.

They use the boil off to both pressurize the tanks and make sure the tanks don't rupture under pressure.
This is SOP since the von Braun brothers and Willie Ley were launching two-stick Repulsors in Berlin
Posted by: Kindltot at February 02, 2026 09:20 PM (rbvCR)
The H2 boiloff is vented down a duct away from the rocket to avoid flammable concentration near the rocket. If the seal between the boil-off exhaust port on the rocket and the ground-side duct (it disconnects and pulls away at lift-off) isn't good enough, a flammable concentration of H2 can build-up where you do not want it. The same issue occurred occasionally with the Shuttle External Tank H2 boiloff connection. H2 is damned difficult to contain at a flexible interface (the ground-side connection plate has to have some 'flex' to accommodate small rocket motion relative to the launch umbilical tower.)
Don't ask how I know, I'm trying to forget. I wasn't responsible for the design of that Shuttle interface but was on a troubleshooting team.

And what if she does? The Constitution doesn’t have a g.d. thing to say against us banning immigrants because we don’t like them.
The very first naturalization law passed by Congress limited citizenship to “free whites.” In 1882 - after all the post-Civil War amendments - Congress passed a ban on Chinese immigration that lasted for 60 years.
In 1880 the American West had 2 million people. China had 400 million. It is very quite likely that the entire western half of North America - or maybe all of it - would be speaking Mandarin right now if it weren’t for the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Another One: How Did BLM Grifter and "Squad" Member Ayana Presley Go from Broke-Ass to Wealthy After Just a Few Short Years in Congress?
Sadie
@Sadie_NC Another Squad member caught in the swamp! Ayanna Pressley went from negative net worth in 2018 to $1.3 million today--on a $174k salary? Assets up to $8M, including a fancy Martha's Vineyard rental. Her husband starts a "consulting" firm with ties to Obama right after she enters Congress. Coincidence?
Brandon Straka #WalkAwayIt turns out her husband quit his political job when she got elected and opened a "consultancy" firm -- which can accept large sums of money to "consult" with people. And lobby congresswomen, no doubt. Before Brian Stelter can hiss "conspiracy theory!" and Jake Tapper can whine "WITHOUT EVIDENCE," consider this:
@BrandonStraka Jan 31 Ayanna Pressley is facing renewed scrutiny as claims circulate that her net worth surged from negative in 2018 to assets reportedly valued up to $8 million -- fueling calls for investigation and accountability.
High-level officials in Biden administration went to work for grant recipients, watchdog finds The Revolving Door of D.C.: Federal agencies under Biden doled out $600 million to a variety of climate-focused NGOs following Biden's disastrous debate with Trump in 2024. Some individuals who held leadership positions at these agencies later went on to work for the same recipients of the grant money.
The Department of Energy recently announced it's eliminating more than $83 billion in what it called "Green New Scam" loans and conditional commitments made through the Loans Programs Office during the Biden administration. The Trump administration has tried to roll back funding the Biden administration rushed out the door in its final months. Democracy Restored, a nonprofit government watchdog, calculated that following former President Joe Biden's disastrous debate with now-President Donald Trump on June 27, 2024, the Biden administration began rushing billions out the door to more than a dozen environmental and climate-focused NGOs, including the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, Climate United Fund, the Ocean Conservancy, the Nature Conservancy, and Rocky Mountain Institute. Using data from USASpending.gov, Democracy Resorted found that federal agencies had obligated more than $600 million in taxpayer money to these organizations since July 1, 2024. The obligations began to drop the day after the election. Obligations to these same organizations since Nov. 5, 2024 fell to $246 million. While various agencies were providing millions in support to these organizations, high-level officials within the agencies either went to work for them after Trump took office, or they had previously worked for them prior to assuming key roles at the agencies under Biden. Shovels of money after debate debacle The Department of Energy awarded the World Resources Institute a $1 million grant in August 2024. The funding would go toward training and collaboration in support of school bus fleet electrification. Jigar Shah, who was director of the Loans Programs Office within the DOE, is now a senior fellow at the World Resources Institute. Jennifer Wilcox, who held the position of principal deputy assistant secretary at the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management at the Department of Energy, is also a senior fellow at the World Resources Institute. The institute is a global research organization focused on various sustainability and climate action initiatives. "I think the money being shoveled out after President Biden's debate and the apparent revolving door of appointees going to recipients of these federal funds raises many questions about the timing of the money, the impact of special interests in the Biden administration and the general ethics surrounding this behavior," Houston Keene, director of Democracy Restored, told Just the News.
A year ago, Cong Pressley wrote on X that Pres Trump and Elon Musk “want to pillage the government and make themselves rich.”

Same as it ever was. Just the names change. So tired of having the government deciding who gets our hard-earned taxes.
On the other hand, we are fortunate enough to fund some of our own "charities" - a friend's daughter was recommended for a program this summer for kids who are doing really well in school. She will get to go to a college and take classes, live in a dorm, etc. as part of a summer program for middle school students. Unfortunately, the cost is out of reach for her widowed mother. So we have told them that if they are unable to get a scholarship, we will pick up the cost. We have known this young lady since before she was born. Her father died unexpectedly 10 years ago.
We would much rather spend on this deserving family than these wastrels in government.

The Appeal: Ayanna Pressley’s Husband Spent 10 Years in Prison. Now He and Pressley are Fighting for Re-entry Reform
For U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, the issue of prison re-entry is personal: Both her father and husband went through it themselves. Last week, her husband, Conan Harris, testified before the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security on barriers to making a successful return from prison, drawing on his experience of reintegrating into his community after serving 10 years for drug trafficking.
When Pressley married Harris in 2014, he had already successfully reintegrated into the Boston community where he was raised. He had worked at Boston’s City Hall as a senior public safety adviser and would soon become executive director of My Brother’s Keeper Boston. And he had become an advocate for people like him who were struggling to restart their lives after a period of incarceration.
Harris and Pressley spoke with The Appeal about what the federal government’s role in re-entry should be, how Pressley is working to create pathways to success for

They actually have a "Freshman Orientation" where they get this big convention hall and the lobbiests have booth handing out swag and brochures telling the 'frosh' what is in it for them.
Numerous training seminars in creative accounting, advanced campaign finance law, general fiscal law, and limitations to RICO are also offered. Tips. Tricks. And Techniques.
Degrees of separation required in acquiring mass wealth, etc
Staff usually roll over from one retired member to the frosh so they get decades of experience in handling the grift and vig.
Not really that puzzling when all you have to do is read the new member orientation program.

President Barack Obama has described the U.S. Constitution as a "living document" that must evolve and be interpreted in the context of an ever-changing world. In The Audacity of Hope and subsequent speeches, he argued that it accommodates modern social, economic, and technological changes, rather than being fixed solely to the founders' 18th-century intentions.
We should evolve most of the House and several from the Senate out of Congress but we continue to play, our demons are better than yours.

You left out the part about not being a career criminal starting at age 11, and then demanding juvenile records being sealed, and creating “pathways for opportunity” once released from prison.
Bypassing and jumping to the head of the line over everyone who tried to do the right thing, stayed out of trouble, stayed in school, got married, etc.
Voluminous and detailed studies have been done for 80 years on “what makes people successful”. There are no secrets.
There are no guarantees of success, it isn’t easy, but there are plenty of easy ways to guarantee failure.
Progressives demand we subsidize all of them. Weird, init? Result is clown world, like we have now.

Arrest them in the dark of night, rendition them to some place far offshore, and give them an ultimatum: "Give up your ill-gotten gains, every last dime, at least as much as can be retrieved (the money spent on hookers and blow is gone for good), and we will let you live. In fact we will give you a $2000/month pension, and rent you a house in some obscure country. You can live there quietly until you die of old age. Come back to America, or talk to the press, or become politically active again, and you get a bullet in the brain. If you don't accept this generous offer, we will torture the information out of you, and then kill you. Your choice."

Government finances were just starting to hit the wall, and jiggery-pokery with accounting. “Unified Budget” of 1968. By any sane measurement, every social metric - the family, church attendance, out of wedlock births, “welfare”, quality of public education and the universities, etc was far superior.
The violence may have been worse then, but the potential now? I’m not sure it’s comparable anyhow. I think it won’t take much of a spark, probably financial or currency related, to permanently end “the 60’s were worse!” canard. Hope I’m wrong. It would be Biblical, no question about that.

Trump Names New Fed Chief; "Safe Choice" Would Favor Interest Rate Cuts, as Trump Also Wants
Crooked partisan Jerome Powell left the federal prime interest rate unchanged, declaring that no cut was needed, as the economy was experiencing solid growth.
The Federal Reserve held its key interest steady in a range between 3.5% and 3.75% after a recent run of interest rate cuts. "Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has shown some signs of stabilization," the central bank said in its post-meeting statement. "Inflation remains somewhat elevated." ... Importantly, the statement also erased a clause indicating that the committee saw a higher risk from the threat of a weakening labor market than that of heightened inflation. That would argue for a pause on rate cuts at least in the near term as officials see the Fed's dual goals of low inflation and full employment more in balance. There was little in the way of guidance about what's coming next, with markets expecting the Fed to wait until at least June before adjusting its benchmark rate again.Well, the economy is indeed growing. But supposedly the economy was growing during Biden's Miracle Economy and Powell still cut interest rates, months before an election considered a referendum on Biden's stewardship over the economy. And inflation was still raising. Trump can't wait until this guy is out office, and thankfully, his term ends in May. Trump has already named Powell's replacement.
IBM Vice Chairman Gary Cohn said Sunday that President Trump's nominee for chairman of the Federal Reserve Board is "very highly qualified" and will "take the Fed back to its traditional" norms. "I think we're very fortunate to have Kevin to be the nominee," Cohn said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." On Friday, Mr. Trump announced that he had nominated Kevin Warsh to serve as the next chair of the Federal Reserve Board, writing in a post on Truth Social that he has "no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best." ... Cohn, the former National Economic Council director in President Trump's first term, praised Warsh on Sunday, saying that he brings a "unique background" and highlighting his work on the Fed board during the 2008 financial crisis. "He was instrumental in that crisis," Cohn said. "Kevin was the point person at the Fed -- he was involved in every one of those discussions. And I truly believe, without Kevin's expertise, and without Kevin being there, we would not have come out of the 2008 crisis as well as we have." The president's selection of Warsh as his nominee was expected to be viewed as a safe choice on Wall Street given his monetary policy experience and well-established views on inflation. Cohn said he expects Warsh to "stay out of a lot of the non-financial issues," while he is "going to be involved, obviously, in setting interest rate policy." "There is a pressure right now for interest rates to go lower," Cohn said. "I think that he will probably follow through on the one to two cuts this year."

Something that I don't think people realize is that none of this news is organic. The reporters are just conduits for someone else's work. It's been that way for a long time, and stories are held until it is time to break them. The left has been doing this forever, but now Trump is doing it right back and them, and he's even doing the Clintonian "Well, I just heard about that myself! Here's my take!" It is a very effective tactic.

It would/should have found the VA gov and the C'ville police chief in gross violation of the civil rights of the permitted protesters, who were not the hilariously fake torch-carrying "Unite the Right" idiots, who appeared from nowhere and were never heard of again.

Imagine Trump did the way people say they want: news conference, charges announced, and then the media goes into full coverup mode. All lies! This happened during his first term. Everything was unlawful retaliation, didn't matter what the evidence was.
But by having "independent" journalists push this, and have Trump act confused and puzzled, or mildly interested, they can't discredit it as easily. The evidence just sits there, more people read it, and the black pillers demand Bondi's head for being asleep at the switch. That really throws the Dems for a loop because they will reflexively join in, proving that Bondi is not involved in any way. cont

For almost a year now, he's been claiming the reason he can't lower rates is due to the fact that inflation from Trump's tariffs will show up next month for sure.
No, next month, for real this time.

Gold-plated tungsten bars are hard to detect. Tungsten is 19.25 grams per cubic centimeter. Gold is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter. If you take a tungsten bar, then cover it in some gold, it'll pass several tests. You can scratch it or do basic weight and dimension checks and it'll pass. It takes more accurate weight and dimension checks or more intrusive core tests.

I am not thrilled by this, because I never believed that it was handled well. How much of that was Warsh and the Fed, and how much was Rest Of Government, I don't know. But the overall optics stank of classist, cronyist corruption.
I can't check the math, but I heard that spending the same amount of money on borrowers instead of banks, paying off part of their underwater mortgages, would've had the knock-on effect of stabilizing the lenders and mortgage derivative markets just as effectively. But while carefully avoiding helping the icky poors, bankers were collecting massive bonuses for the arcane savvy to say "Yes!" to free money.

The Tariff case before the Supreme Court has been delayed numerous times after being heard.... Why? Because the key question is can Congress Delegate the Constitutionally mandated Power to set taxes, to the Executive branch. They want to say no... but...
Congress delegated the power to print money to the Fed.
And also delegated the Power to write rules for Courts to the Supremes themselves...
Thus, if they rule against the core issue on Tariffs, it affects both the Feds, AND Supremes power as well.
My guess is they are trying to use some sophistry to split the baby... and can't really come up with one.

In September China moved a ton of equipment to Beijing for the parade to celebrate the victory of the US and Nationalist China over Japan (the commies were hiding in caves).
They also held a Party congress. This is not being announced, has no public explanation and the units are coming from different military districts, which is very strange. Unlike the US, where bases are either legacy locations or sited for training needs, the PLA is divided into five sectors for internal security purposes. There is no equivalent to "NORTHCOM" because it is assumed the first commander would just overthrow the government.
It is surmised that these are token units being sent on behalf of larger units to let Xi know how deep the rebellion goes. It's like a pronunciamiento Chinese-style. Maybe it is. We'll find out.

I interpret "take the Fed back to its traditional norms" to mean the Fed will stop boning Trump in the butt because he sent Hillary into permanent retirement except for her apparent post retirement career as a professional pinot grigio taster. Powell needs to be sent to whatever bathhouse Fauci now spends his time collecting data.

It's both. I've seen others show that China's official statistics contradict themselves. They give a fertility rate that if correct would mean there are lots less Chinese than they claim.

China fudges the hell out of their rural population numbers. I haven't seen the video you're talking about, but it's entirely possible the 500 million number she comes to is because the reports outside of big population centers are totally made up. So she may be correct the 500 million is the number for the areas actually accounted for. But the number may be much higher than that because China doesn't count a lot of their people.

Powell dumped the 2% inflation goal at Jackson Hole, so he doesn't have that self imposed goad.
The current rates are hard on the US economy, but the Europeans are having to refinance, and are buying our Treasuries, and are taking that rate still.
Last I heard Powell and Bessant have weekly lunches, so I am not so sure I am that worried about Powell for the next 6 months he has left.

Short answer. Yes.
We won't need jail cells. Coroner bags on the other hand will be in sharp demand. Lotty, Dotty, and Everybody in Fed Gov. Make it a visceral emotional impact on the Staties to keep them in line.
Not a real mess, just scrap anything after the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Cut out the Amendments somewhere around 9 or 10, all after became suborned by corrupto-crats. Anyone that complains "it's too much" refer to the coroner bags above.

The whole thing was flipped from the top down. NASA used to query everyone “are we GO?” on this and that, and even down to the contractors, it was up to them to answer in the affirmative.
Then NASA management decided on a “We are GO” and it was up to the various systems to explain why not. And Morton Thiokol said “No way, too cold”. And NASA just literally ignored the engineers that built the product.

The Party became the scholar-bureaucrats.
The PLA is interesting because China traditionally has no warrior culture. The Confucian hierarchy is dead, but soldiers are still treated as armed bandits, which is why China still has to conscript it troops.
I believe the officers are volunteers though, drawn from the sons of the Chinese Red Army soldiers, and so you have these familial ties linking them together. When I was writing Walls of Men, a lot of the PLA culture was hidden, hard to source, but the last couple of years Type 56 and some of the other Youtubers have mapped it out reasonably well. My book didn't get into the weeds, but my assessment that they are completely untested still holds.

starting in El Salvador, and spreading to the other central and some of the south american countries, there is a feeling that these externally imposed human rights standards of dealing with massive disrupters in society is something rich nations can dabble in, but starting in a society that is being destroyed and captured by intentional violence, rounding up, say, everyone that has gang tattoos and stuffing them in a hell hole, or worse, is probably the only way to get control of the situation.

The origin of gold (and other heavy elements like uranium) has been something of mystery. Back in the day, they sort of hand-waved that these elements were produced in supernovae. But they can't produce much of it. You need something called the r-process, very high speed neutron rich conditions to do it.
That's been solved of late. Most of the gold comes from neutron star mergers and magnetar flares, the latter being a surprising new process discovered recently.

California is the Golden State for Fraud; 18% of All the Country's "Home Health Care" Billing Comes from LA
Almost 20% of the country's welfare funds for "home health care" goes to 440 square miles in California.
And LA is scamming the country for billions for fake Medicare services.At City Journal, a Democrat whistleblower in Minnesota affirms that the fraud is real and spectacular.
Los Angeles hospice fraud reaches billions as Medicare providers scam federal system with fake companies
Medicare chief says fraudulent providers scam taxpayers with ghost patients and sham companies in scheme involving corrupt doctors Ghost patients, sham companies, offshore owners and corrupt doctors. Auditors and prosecutors say hospice fraud in Los Angeles is off the charts, with providers scamming billions from taxpayers for patients that don't exist, poor care and no care. "Hospice is crazy here," says Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. "You've got hospice that's grown seven-fold in the last five years. They represent about three and a half billion dollars of fraud, we believe, just in LA County." Backing him up was California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who said last year, "Hospice fraud has become an epidemic in California, specifically in the greater Los Angeles area." Bonta says fraudulent providers submit false claims for unnecessary services, and recruiters get kickbacks for signing up seniors, whether they're sick or not. Hospices also enroll patients who don't even know they've been scammed until they seek out medical care. "As a hospice owner, I could sign up everybody in this room for hospice," an LA hospice owner told us. A whistleblower told us there's no limit on the number of hospices an individual can own, and applicants can live abroad. "It's all just paperwork. I could fill [an application] out in Kazakhstan if I want, and get a hospice license." He explained how the scam works: Recruiters go to shopping centers and senior centers to sign up patients, promising them walkers, a month's supply of nutritional drinks, cash and weekly visits in exchange for a Medicare number. Recruiters then sell that "benny" or beneficiary's Medicare number to a provider for a $1,000 to $3,000 and receive a cut for every month the senior stays on their rolls. Hospice enrollees are supposed to have a terminal illness or life expectancy of six months or less. But frequently hospice owners treat patients like trading cards, moving them from one provider to another if they stay too long, which raises a red flag with auditors. In the U.S., more than 50% of hospice patients die within 18 days or less. In LA, the average length of stay is more than three months, and, in many hospices, patients never die, with court records showing hospices billing the federal government for 18 months and more. In LA, a hospice is paid by the federal government $260 a day for each day a senior is under its care. ... "A Medicare MIB number is more lucrative than a credit card," says Sheila Clark, president of the California Hospice and Palliative Care Association, referring to the 11 character code each Medicare recipient has that allows federal reimbursement. "They're human traffickers. They're trafficking beneficiaries in and out of hospices, home health."
The Minnesota Department of Human Services is the state agency responsible for overseeing the programs at the heart of the scandal. Faye Bernstein has been a DHS employee for two decades, including stints working in contract management and as a compliance officer. During the early years of Governor Tim Walz's administration, Bernstein says that she began raising concerns internally at DHS about concerning practices that exposed tax dollars to fraud. In response, Bernstein claims that her DHS supervisors retaliated against her. In a recent interview with City Journal, Bernstein painted a picture of a toxic workplace culture at DHS that allowed Minnesota's fraud scandal to metastasize. This interview has been edited for clarity and length. City Journal: When did your concerns about fraud begin? Faye Bernstein: In 2018 and 2019. I had just gotten a promotion to a lead position. That meant I saw everybody's contracts from our work area [Behavioral Health Administration]. They all funneled through me. Over the years, I had often thought that DHS is sloppy. But 2018 and 2019 are when I saw, oh gosh, this is beyond normal. If we don't have fraud today, we're going to have fraud soon. CJ: Can you give an example? FB: I could give a contract to my sister for a million dollars because she has a different last name, pay out that contract, and nobody would notice. We did not monitor conflict of interest. It would have been easy to give a contract to a family member or to a nonexistent person. That's when I realized, this sloppiness is way beyond normal. We really are at risk of fraud. CJ: Can you give other examples of things you saw? FB: The reason I can confidently say that I could give a contract of this sort to my sister was because I had come across a contract that DHS had given to a former employee who had left the department within the past year. I immediately recognized her name, so I went to the person who initiated that contract and said, "What's the deal with this? I want to make sure everything's okay, that we don't have a conflict." The person immediately went to our deputy director, who then came to me and said, "Why are you asking these questions?" And I said, "Well, gosh, this is just a perfectly normal question." "No, it's not. You're upsetting people. You've just made a lot of enemies by asking these questions." It made no sense to me. We were constantly getting into risky territory. And if you spoke about it, it was very clear what would happen. Even our human resources people would tell us, "If your supervisor tells you to do something, you must do it." And when you didn't, the word "insubordination" came up. They considered it insubordinate if you resisted an unlawful direction. CJ: Did this culture at DHS help facilitate fraud? FB: It definitely did. Where we are today is completely predictable from where we were in 2019. There was no other way for this to go. The handwriting was on the wall. Until only about a year ago, our whistleblower policy required us to report internally; that did not comply with the law. The only reason [DHS had that policy] was so that they could find out who was reporting.

Yep. If you watch a lot of court proceedings, you'll see hundreds of fat, stupid, angry losers with long lists of proceedings against them who are on disability, welfare, SNAP, and whatever other programs are out there.
We're subsidizing the worst people in society so they can go out and victimize normal people over and over again.
It's infuriating to watch these wastrels complain bitterly about how they have to spend $50 of THEIR MONEY every month on a $2200 a month apartment. Especially when they're getting kicked out of their apartment for non payment of that miniscule $50 a month.

1) The White House really needs a rolling ticker of the amount of fraud discovered in each state.
2) It isn't easy for Medicare patients to find a competent doctor these days. Perhaps if there weren't so many health care providers on the take, the Medicare re-imbursement for law-abiding practices might be more rewarding.

They have universal housing, universal income, universal health care--none of it paid for by state taxes.
All of it paid for by federal taxes.
And because some unelected, unaccountable cartel judge somewhere has said it's illegal for Trump to withhold a single red penny, we have to keep paying for it.
I don't want Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act--I want him to destroy the federal judiciary.

I'm sure this has already begun, but the greed of private sector lawyers, ironically, will help pick up any slack caused by government inaction. Claims under the False Claims Act allow whistleblowers to become "private attorneys general" and sue for false payment claims made to the government, and keep a percentage of the damages recovered. It's sort of like applying leaches to a wound. Just make sure to take them off in time and burn them when the job is complete.

In 2022, one major fraud case resulted in $87 million in taxpayer funds being lost to improper billing by home care agencies.
Time and time again, billing for services not provided; "Ghost" employees and fabricated rime; kickback schemes, misuse of COVID-19 Aid and Medicaid expansion funds, and more.
It's become a part of the program.

And each those overlapping millions of real or made-up people have a PO Box for their mailing address. Prove me wrong!

The NY Post story about the French loser with a WW1 artillery shell in his butt must be having problems with terminology. An 8-inch diameter shell would weigh at least 200 pounds. At one point in the article it says the projectile was an inch in diameter. Maybe it was 8 inches long. Anyway, Ordnance Butt is a sad clown, and the writer is an idiot.

Effective accounting, audit, and examination work is relatively straight-forward. But, having the will to do it comes from leadership. Moving the job to the private sector won't change that. And so long as the government is "picking winners" in regard to selecting what private firms get to do the new work...you can see how that's going to turn out, right? "Our" GOP won't even get its votes straight to stop funding illegals. You think they're going to pick the best and the brightest to do the audit and examination work this country needs?

It takes a MD order to obtain home healthcare or hospice care.
Example: Dr. Slummy Somoli writes an order for home health care for Ahib Ablamababa due to his fractured hip post op.
A social worker or RN in the hospital makes the referral for Learing Home Health Care, from a list. Family chooses. A rep from this place visits & sets it up, including equipment.
Ahib goes home via what appears to be a real transport company. Or he's flung into a car. Stay with me.
Within days, with Medicare paying (which illegals should not have except under special blue states, apparently...as you pay into this with taxes), a RN from the company visits and then recommends PT.
If a real patient vs fraud paperwork, Ahib would notice that no person has visited or contacted him & call the surgeon who wrote the order.
Instead, Medicare is billed by this imaginary company for the imaginary patient. A kick back is sent to the MD who wrote the order as well as others.
With real Medicare, hospitals are audited if a patient returns too soon after discharge. There are paper trails.

Why Did John Brennan Deliver a Secret CIA Award to Obama's White House Counsel and Very Good Friend of Jeffrey Epstein Kathryn Ruemmler?
We know she received this secret award from John Brennan for unknown services provided to the CIA only because she immediately wrote to her BFF Jeffrey Epstein-- who sent her gifts like a $9,400 handbag -- immediately after receiving the secret honor.
Why? And why was it kept secret? People usually publicize their CIA awards. They show you're In the Club. We only know about this secret CIA award because Ruemmler bragged about it to Jeffrey Epstein, and his emails were just released. So why was the reward given? I'm quoting Mike Benz's thread, but he points out this wasn't awarded for work she did during the Obama Administration. This was awarded when she was in the private sector, specifically working for Democrat law firm Lantham and Watkins. A firm that was instrumental in perpetrating the Russiagate hoax on the country. So... is that why John Brennan gave the award to her? Because she assisted in his own disinformation campaign against the American taxpayer, which he perpetrated while being paid by the taxpayers?Wait, what? Remember, Ruemmler continues insisting that she was never a paid client of Epstein's and barely even knew him. Despite him giving her $9,400 handbags and other luxury gifts.
Mike Benz
@MikeBenzCyber 19h A couple interesting notes on the reveal that Obama's White House Counsel (top lawyer to the President) Kathy Ruemmler emailed Jeffrey Epstein she was awarded the CIA Agency Medal just hours after getting the award 🧵 2) When I saw this, I wondered why I'd never heard this before. Her CIA Agency Award in 2015 was not and still has never been reported by any press outlet whatsoever, not even a fringe one. It's not in her Wikipedia. It's not in her extensive current Goldman Sachs bio. 3) I've covered many times, for example, how BlackRock's Vice Chairman proudly lists his winning the CIA's Director's Award openly on his official BlackRock bio. 4) The award is a big deal and she was clearly so excited and proud of it she rushed to tell Jeffrey Epstein mere hours after CIA Director John Brennan awarded her, and then sought validation from Epstein over it. 5) Now, this is where it gets interesting. Ruemmler had already left government and returned to private practice at Latham & Watkins 8 months earlier. When she won the CIA Agency Medal, she was a private citizen. A civilian. 6) As it turns out, non-CIA civilians can receive the CIA Agency Medal -- privately with no public release -- if they have played a meaningful role in enabling CIA operations, providing critical access, or helping clear high-stakes legal or operational obstacles the CIA faced 7) The reason the CIA doesn't publicly disclose CIA Agency Medal winners who are non-CIA civilians is because those winners, as nominal civilians with no CIA overlap, may not want the public to know they covertly helped the CIA overcome sensitive legal or political obstacles.
9) Worth noting Kathy Ruemmler, who fought to make John Brennan the CIA Director and then won the CIA Agency Award, was so close to Epstein she was the backup executor of Jeffrey Epstein's will.
10) But the pure cronyism explanation doesn't sit right with me. For one, anyone can get a CIA Agency Award at any time. It's not "once a year" doled out in one batch. Brennan became CIA chief in March 2013. He didn't give her the award until 2 years later, after she left gov't 11) Second, if Brennan had given Ruemmler the CIA Agency Medal earlier while she was still White House Counsel, she could forever-after confidently share the honor publicly without needing to hide it, since everyone would presume it related to her official White House legal role 12) Now, it's possible Brennan issued her the award while she was White House Counsel but then kept it in CIA custody until she left gov't, if political sensitivities or the covert operation the award related to were still ongoing. I found examples of that in declassified docs 13) But still, something doesn't sit right. Even if you never announce the CIA Agency Award to the public, there's still a real benefit to getting one: privileged inside access, weight & deference, plus more opportunities channeled to you in ongoing and future CIA relationships. 14) So wherever Ruemmler worked when she got the award, the CIA effectively had "their woman" in the room for all manner of "informal consultation" or info-sharing. Well, in 2015, when she got it, she was at Latham & Watkins: a central firm in the CIA-led 2016 Russiagate affairThe full thread, with screencaps of supporting documents, is here.

Instead, he was to continue with business as usual and periodically, the intelligence agency involved would send an assignment for targeted individuals. This was likely coordinated with the administration in office, and Ruemmler was the intermediary for the Obama administration. She must have convinced some big fishes to participate.
95% of what went on at Epstein Island was to give the impression of being untouchable by law enforcement. This was reinforced by bringing in industry leaders, former presidents, politicians, movie moguls et al. That put the targets at ease and they decided "OK, no risk...I'm in."
Maxwell said she had no list, and Epstein didn't have a list. That's because Epstein got assignments. The applicable intelligence agency has a list though. Ruemmler was rewarded for setting up targets.

The CIA is able to fund itself through various "fronts," businesses that are borderline legit and make money for the Agency. The CIA owns many different businesses; airlines, various commercial enterprises that sell products, financial services, restaurants... you name it and the CIA has their fingers in it.
They employee more accountants than the IRS to keep track of the money.
So much money that the Agency doesn't even need the budget allocated to it every year by Congress... which is black and never disclosed.
It is by any measure, totally self sufficient and totally ungovernable. Ratcliffe couldn't do a thing with it even if he wanted to. They'd either have him killed or removed inside of a week if he tried.

Mike Benz makes a compelling case that Epstein was a money launderer. Got his first investment banking job at Bear Stearns and was involved in their BCCI account. BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International) was an international bank founded in 1972 by Agha Hasan Abedi, a Pakistani financier, with backing from Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi. Favorite of intel agencies, those belonging to the Safari Club in particular, funnelled cash to the Afghan rebels, financed Adnan Khashoggi's weapons dealings, etc. etc.
Hedge fund management was even more obscure as to moving money around for intel agencies and criminals (hard to tell apart at times) to do shit off the books. Someone like Epstein would be useful as his predilections of sex crimes means he wouldn't squeal or go public if things went fubar like BCCI. His perversity might have also led to few kompromat situations for his minders but probably was a useful cover. Intel agencies love to use criminals.

Disqualify is the first tool in the box that leftists like to use in debate. Not the substance but an attempt to demote the opposition into a non person, a non expert, a nobody. So claiming Trump is a pedo is simply an inversion of what Biden actually was and an attempt to disqualify Trump and administration by lazy and cheap smears.

OpenAI going down would not constitute popping a bubble. Pretty much the entire rest of the industry has already brushed them off.
Posted by: Ian S.
Microsux stock will be hurt if OpenAI goes down in flames but its cash burn rate is simply not sustainable. So far Elon with xAI and Gemini by Google can finance their investment arms races in new hardware. Google garnered Apple as a partner/investor for Gemini. Dunno about Anthropic but it has Amazon behind it and I think Google hedged its bets.
"The growth story is mostly enterprise-driven. Anthropic has found real traction selling access to its models through APIs, particularly for coding-heavy workloads. Its coding agent, Claude Code, crossed $1 billion in annualized revenue by November 2025, helping push the company's overall revenue run rate above $9 billion by year-end.
But the spending is just as eye-catching. Anthropic now expects to turn cash-flow positive in 2028, a year later than previously planned, as costs keep climbing. In 2026 alone, it expects to spend about $12 billion training models and another $7 billion running them. "

The amount of money involved and the breadth of the exposure, direct, and indirect, means that if it crashes and burns we're in a world of shit.
For context, though, everyone is flinging money at AI because it's widely assumed that the race is "probably" winnable, and whoever wins it rules the world. Unfortunately US business culture is too dedicated to scamming people and slash and burn practices, vs - irony alert - China, who is going about this in what is probably a more effective, and certainly cost effective, manner.
If this blows up and/or we lose the race (assuming there even is a finish line, which is debatable), history will forever associate people like Altman with a "China burning their ships" sort of fuckup.

If so, likely it took place via the Incentives Award Act.
If the individual worked under classified, non-public, or sensitive arrangements, any cash award or monetary incentive (often authorized by the Incentive Awards Act in conjunction with Agency-specific authorities) would have been processed through covert, classified channels to protect the person’s identity and their affiliation with the CIA.
It's likely the 2015 accounting for a private industry recipient of a CIA award would have been handled by the Director of Personnel and authorized by the Director of the CIA, processed through secure channels that often bypass public recognition for security reasons, often supported by special statutory authorities for the intelligence community.
Wikipedia has a long list of possible recipients.

Major British Labour Politician Pressured to Resign Over Epstein Payoffs; Epstein Had a Secret Baby?
Peter Mandelson is a major fixer for Labour who is responsible for the rise of Tony Blair.
There are at least two occasions on which it is alleged Epstein handed large sums of money to Lord Mandelson or his husband.His husband.
I make no judgments about the policy nor whether it should have been opposed or not. But we once again see Epstein's hand behind political decisionmaking. It had been known for years that Mandelson was linked to Epstein. It has long been a matter of public record Mandelson stayed in the disgraced financier's flat in New York while the latter was serving his prison term. And a briefing delivered to the prime minister, Keir Starmer, on the reputational risk in appointing Mandelson as ambassador to the US mentioned official records showing he had facilitated a meeting between Epstein and Tony Blair in 2002. But a glimpse of the extent of the relationship between the former minister and Epstein would lead to Mandelson's withdrawal from Washington in September 2025. Documents released then showed Mandelson had referred to Epstein as his "best pal" in a letter included within an alleged birthday book that was released by US lawmakers. ... The prime minister, who had been facing questions about his judgment after standing by Mandelson, removed him from his post when it emerged he had emailed Epstein suggesting his 2008 conviction for soliciting a child for prostitution was wrongful and should be challenged. No 10 said it had not known about emails, in which Mandelson wrote: "I can still barely understand it. It just could not happen in Britain. You have to be incredibly resilient, fight for early release and be philosophical about it as much as you can." Meanwhile, released emails indicate that Jeffrey Epstein had a secret baby with an unknown woman.
Mandelson directly referenced one of the claims when announcing his resignation from the Labour party. Bank statements held among the Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice appear to show that in 2003 to 2004 the disgraced financier paid a total of $75,000 (£54,750) into bank accounts of which Mandelson -- then a Labour MP -- was believed to be a beneficiary. The former cabinet minister had already come under pressure over the second allegation that his husband, Reinaldo Avila da Silva, had received £10,000 from Epstein about two months after the registered sex offender was released from prison in 2009. ... The files also show evidence Mandelson advised Epstein on how the investment bank JP Morgan might lobby the government -- of which he was a part -- on plans for a tax on bankers' bonuses. Among the documents is a chain of emails between Epstein and Mandelson, in which the former asks if the new tax might only apply to the cash portion of bonuses. "Trying hard to amend," Mandelson wrote back on 15 December 2009. "Treasury digging in but I am on case." Mandelson, who was then business secretary in Gordon Brown's government, suggested two days later that the head of the investment bank call the then chancellor, Alistair Darling, and "mildly threaten" him.
This disclosure was made in emails from Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, the wife of the former Prince Andrew, and herself a big pal of the convicted pedophile.
Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein appears to have had a secret child 15 years ago, according to a bombshell email reportedly sent by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. Ferguson congratulated him in the note sent on Sept. 21, 2011, after he was already convicted of sex with an underage girl, according to the latest drop of Epstein files. "Don't know if you're still on this bbm but have heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy," Ferguson wrote, according to the released email.
"Even though you never kept in touch, I still am here with love, friendship, and congratualtions [sic] on your baby boy. Sarah xx." In another message, Ferguson claimed Epstein had disappeared and said she wasn't aware he was about to become a father. Epstein's last known girlfriend was Karyna Shuliak and he reportedly wanted to leave her his infamous private Island as well as $50 million and his Upper East Side townhouse. He signed his will on Aug 8, 2019 -- just two days before he was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell.

It's GJ testimony.
You can say anything to a Grand Jury. You're not under penalty of perjury for lying.
It's why grand jury testimony is almost never publicly released.

There is an email chain when Epstein tells Musk that he is having a party with some very important UN diplomats that Musk that see hint hint.
Musk responds he's a busy man and doesn't have time to meet with worthless diplomats.
I guess being clues about social numbers/hints can have some benefits.

We've been repeatedly ragging on bored, lonely women who seek arousal from "monster romance" books featuring ladies having sex with minotaurs, werewolves, insect-men, and other monsters.
It turns out there is a "monster fucking" genre for men too. In the "Dungeon Builder's Harem" there are 11 -- yes, 11 -- books featuring a male protagonist who builds a dungeon and a harem of inhuman female monsters.
I'm not sure who the audience is for these books, but if there are 11 of them then a lot of people must be reading them.
Judging from the cover art for these books, the answer is yes. Yes, The Blade would. Vigorously.

At this point, the people clamoring for Epstein file releases fall into three broad camps.
1. People who believe Trump is Epstein's #1 client. They only care about Epstein because they think they can get Trump.
2. People who believe EVERYONE in power is a pedo. My FiL is one of these.
3. People who just want the dirty laundry all aired out so we can figure out who to jail. They don't care about any one specific client, they just want the truth.

There was a trial and everything.
Most of the women didn't testify. Want to know why?
Because they helped Epstein get other women (I think most were at least 17 years old) into the whole thing.
Epstein reportedly had a thing for younger girls, but it wasn't the sex side of his business.

Category 1 players are chasing "the sound in their head". They have a pre-ordained idea of "how" a guitar SHOULD sound, so you can hand them a Flying V and a telecaster, and Keith Richards (and other Category 1) players will indeed have found a way to adjust the tone controls, string height, pedal settings, and amp settings so that at the end of the day, they "sound alike".
Category 2 players use guitars as a tool. Country? They pick up a telecaster. Jazz? An archtype of some model. Classic rock or modern rock with some "crunch"? A Les Paul. They allow the guitar itself to be true to its basic settings.
Neither category is "right"--its just the difference between how players view guitars.

AFAIK, there are zero pictures of Trump or any other Republicans having anything to do with Epstein, AFTER his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution.
However, LOTS of Lefties and Democrats still did business and politics, in public and in private with Epstein after that conviction became public knowledge.
It's almost as if Democrats are just fine with consorting with pedophiles - as long as they can help increase the political power of the Democrat Party.

I'm not sure that's right, to me its a matter of degree. If you run a Strat thru an overdrive that's parked into a distortion pedal and leading into a tube amp, you can do Guns-n-Roses all day, but a purist might say there's still a difference in the resulting tone. Iron Maiden's Dave Murray plays a Strat and his tone has never been criticized as weak for metal.

Not just that, but Epstein was great at making connections using every tool available to him. He met people at normal parties. He donated money. He was a fixer. Plenty of people knew him or owed him favors that never went anywhere near the island. I'm sure the files name these connections as well.
Just look at all the people who latched onto the pictures of Elon Musk and Ghislaine Maxwell at a party. It's a very tenuous connection, but they are certain it means Musk is a pedo.

To be more precise, it is a mechanical thing. You can route out a stratocaster body and fit in a humbucking pickup to replace the single coil to get the tone, and if you get rid of the tremolo you can get the sustain, but that is a lot of work to try and get the sound. It is much easier to thin out the sound of a Les Paul than to make a Strat beefier.

Plumber or programmer? Trades workers close the job gap
Plumbers, electricians and pipe fitters with a two-year degree are more likely to be employed than four-year college graduates, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's a very new trend, reports Taylor Telford in the Washington Post.
“For decades, college graduates have typically faced lower unemployment rates, found jobs faster, and experienced more stable employment than high school graduates without college experience,” according to a 2025 report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. But the college advantage has been eroding in recent years. Now it seems to have vanished.
While AI has taken some entry-level white-collar jobs, hurting new college graduates, demand is strong for blue-collar workers.

According to an article in the NY Post, his final will written 2 days prior to his death and given to his lawyer, bequeathed $288 million to three main beneficiaries - his girlfriend, Ghislaine, and his brother Mark. Millions, his properties, jewels, etc. None of them have received anything because the money and assets are being held in a trust that is being used to pay off victims/settlements, etc. It is reported to be down to $127 million now.

Classic manipulation attempt by despair-baiting. Or blackpilling, if you will.
"It's all one big repulsive club" implies a meaning that every single person mentioned in the files (even if said mention proves they rejected Epstein's invitations) is tainted.
This will resonate with the segment of the population who doesn't have agency and attribute their circumstances to the latest conspiracy theory.
"You can't vote your way out of this" reinforces that loser baiting. Because it's also vaguepoasting without proposing a solution or option (also engagement bait, so the 'solutions' will be in the deranged replies)

- He was given an S-2 (college) deferment on June 28, 1964 (perfectly legal, not a draft dodger).
- His S-2 status was renewed on Dec 14, 1965 (legal, not a draft dodger), and he was then classified on Nov. 22, 1966, as 1-A (available for service).
- Dec. 13, 1966, his S-2 was again granted to attend Wharton (legal, not a draft dodger). His final deferral was granted on Jan. 16, 1968.
- After graduating from Wharton, he was reclassified 1-A on July 9, 1968. He went to his Armed Forces Physical (something a draft dodger probably would not do) on Sept. 19, 1968, and was categorized as 1-Y, disqualified for service except in war or national emergency (due to bone spurs in both heels).
- He received a high draft lottery number and was never called up. On Feb. 17, 1972, after the abolishment of the 1-Y classification, he was classified 4-F (not qualified for military service).

One of the most fascinating things I've observed in news reports on things like stolen rarities and official corruption is a fairly consistent 1000:1 ratio in things like appraisal:fence contract:bribe value. I guess if it basically doesn't cost you anything, since it isn't really yours, then the buyer knows he can offer pocket change.
That actually makes me madder at corruptocrats and thieves. 99.9% of the value is just destroyed by their actions. Of course I knew they were dyscivic, but that's a quantifiable proxy for just how much.

First Case of Sex Change "Detransitioner" Suing Doctors Results in $4 Million Malpractice Payout
These cases will be won on claims of lack of informed consent, and that's 100% real and 100% a violation of basic medical ethics. Sex "transition" procedures are sold to patients like they're used cars the dealership must get off the lot. Doctors do not explain all the many side-effects and poor outcomes, and on the other hand, they claim that the procedures are basically magical and will cure all of the patient's mental illnesses. One major adverse outcome they refuse to discuss with patients is the fact that many will seek to detransition -- they pretend that detransitioners don't exist and if they do exist they're just brainwashed by MAGA supremacists. Failing to tell patients about the actual rates of transition-regret, and the fact that these procedures are essentially irreversible and will leave patients "disfigured" for life, is a violation of the duty of care a doctor owes to a patient.Jurors on Jan. 30 found a psychologist and surgeon liable for malpractice after they supported and performed breast removal surgery on a 16-year-old girl who at the time identified as transgender. Jurors awarded Fox Varian, now 22 and no longer identifying as transgender, $2 million in damages, with $1.6 million for past and future pain and suffering, and another $400,000 for future medical expenses. The jurors found that in many respects the surgeon and psychologist had skipped important steps when evaluating if she should go forward with the surgery and had not adequately communicated with each other. These missteps were a "departure from the standard of care," they decided. During closing arguments, Varian's attorney Adam Deutsch had asked the jury for $8 million in damages. To justify that sum, he quoted earlier testimony where Varian described her reaction to seeing her post-surgery chest. "I immediately had a thought that this was wrong, and it couldn't be true," Varian said. She also said that the surgery left her with nerve pain, which she described as "searing hot ... ripping sensations across my chest." "Shame. I felt shame," she added. "It's hard to face that you are disfigured for life."The RINOs will soon be passing legislation to block these lawsuits, arguing, disingenuously, that Conservative Principles dictate that they do all that they can to stop all lawsuits.

They will. Three main reasons:

2) the results are in no way what is promised for the pain and isolation, both of being transed and then from detransitioning
3) most of these kids and families that go through the process are not able to forgive themselves for being party to it, and have to find someone else to bear all the blame for their feelings of shame

The six-member jury was not asked whether gender-related surgical procedures are appropriate for minors. The question was whether the therapist and doctor took the appropriate steps before the surgery was performed.

When some man puts on the costume to look like a woman, it's no less offensive than painting their face black to look African.
1) the whole trannie thing was funded by health insurance companies raking in millions of profits.
2) the whole trannie thing will end when malpractice insurance companies start paying out millions in settlements.

One of the first moderately high profile tranny surgeries was on Dan Bunten, the guy that created some of the first notable PC video games.
He talked about it and noted the surgery didn't make him a woman, it just made up a damaged man and he wished he had taken more time to make the decision. And this was in '92.

I think that's poorly worded, but the total seems to be (as reported elsewhere) $2 million: $1.6 million for past and future pain and suffering, and an additional $400,000 for future medical expenses. There does not seem to be a separate $2M award. It's the same award.

"The doctors should have ensured Varian did not have other psychological conditions, such as depression, ADHD, autism, or body dysmorphia before suggesting the surgery, her lawyers argued"
lmao I guess were just heading towards not being allowed to transition anymore if you have any other mental illness. autism causes trans all over again 🙄
i was literally 4 years on hrt by the time i got things under control. if i'd been forced to undergo continued masculinisation it would have made it 10x worse. not that they care of course
I don’t buy this argument that the doctors were pushing it. You see this all the time in detrans grifters+ TERF rhetoric. $2 million because she was 1%er dumb bitch. Unbelievable. Where is our medical malpractice?
This is fucking depressing. Trans medical care has one of the lowest recorded regret rates of most medical procedures. Lower than knee replacements.

I suspect this all hinges on what they would describe as "pushing" transition. Are many doctors out there suggesting transitioning kids that seem perfectly normal? I doubt it. But are they extremely receptive to anyone who mentions it? I suspect yes.
Once a kid mentions they might be trans, I also suspect those same doctors become a nearly unstoppable force who threaten to call CPS, emotionally blackmail the parents by telling them their kid will suicide if not transitioned, doesn't tell the kid anything about the downsides, etc. I would argue all of that is "pushing" transitioning, though the Reddit hivemind would probably say it's not.

Sure, but it's only cosmetic. It doesn't restore function.
And with this particular kind of mutilation, they remove all the extra skin that used to cover the breasts, so you'd have to do something to grow extra skin to cover the new fake breasts to the appropriate volume.

Perhaps all the above, but knowing little to nothing, contributed to younger marriages, younger parents because the desire to experience sex was strong and there were by far fewer sexes. 🤷♀️

Yes, my dr who is generally a very good doctor will not prescribe anything he feels is not medically necessary.
So when I ask for B12 for instance, he’ll say my levels are fine and I should take a sublingual. But anyone who has had a weekly 1000mcg IM of b12 can attest, it’s the bomb.

Hardtails from 59-(early) 62 ... yes.
Honestly, though...the Set-Neck Strats that were built in the Custom Shop under John Page (Suhr and Baker building) are the best Strats ever made, imo.
You can find some nice Japanese C Shops (Strat and Tele) from the early-mid 90s that are incredible. The Set necks are where it is at.

So that gives me a theory that the 40 year old guys transitioning now remember some old young woman they liked back then and if they can't get someone like her they'll become her.

This cost has been soaked up through "Emergency Medicaid" and I can almost guarantee that it was being abused as a general practitioner service, and less so "emergency care."

Lol, I know--I've given it a lot of thought over the years. There's so many great looking Strats that I always find myself thinking "Yes, I'd like one of that color (or type).
Getting to "50" seems like a reasonable number to stop adding, and switch to a 1-in-1-out policy.
But to ever get to 50 comfortably, I'd have to have the finances and place large enough to keep them on display. I think guitars sitting in guitar cases is just stupid. You can't play them inside a case, and most times when you decide you want to play you want to play NOW, not 5 minutes later after retrieving a case and bringing it back to the amp and plugging it in.

To be fair, I'm not sure the vintage guitar is going to sound better than a new custom shop guitar in ANYONE's hands. Once you hit the custom shop level, you're dealing with an exceptional instrument.
And usually there's a level or two below the custom shop where you've entered into "very good guitar" status. Joe Bonomassa does a video where he basically asserts that an off-the-rack new Les Paul sounds as good as the '59 (or whatever collectable year it was) Les Paul that is supposedly worth a ton of money. And Joe loves to buy expensive guitars, but he's not collecting them for the sound.

The Grammys, Which Apparently Still Exist, Once Again Descend Into an Sloppy Orgy of Virtue Signalling and Cultural Irrelevance
The emcee, the failed DEI "comic" Trevor Noah, accused Trump WITHOUT EVIDENCE of having visited Epstein's island -- and Trump says he's suing.
🚨 NEW: Trevor Noah makes a defamatory joke about Trump going to Epstein’s Island: “What are you to do about it?”
— Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) February 2, 2026
President Trump responds almost immediately saying he’s going to sue to sh!t out of him: “Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

Bad Bunny says "ICE OUT" at the #Grammys and receives a massive standing ovation:

"We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.… pic.twitter.com/IFzvguqdCR
And Trump's fans are about to get more upset. The rumor mill has it that Bad Bunny, in a nod of support to the LGBTQ community and as just another norms-pushing statement, plans to don a dress during the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. TMZ initially reported the "rumor," with a follow-up report saying they couldn't confirm what he's wearing, citing "production sources." At my behest, internet sports book BetOnline.ag created a betting line for "Will Bad Bunny wear a dress during Super Bowl halftime show?" The website has it at -150 (bet $150 to profit $100) he will, and +110 (wager $100 to profit $110) he will not. Here's the rub, though: as the prop bet is "for entertainment purposes only," the max wager is $25. Not enough action for you? You can also bet on the type of dress Bad Bunny will wear, should he defy TMZ. The most probable type of dress is a ball gown (7/4, +175), with a halter dress (3/1) and a shirt dress (4/1) rounding out the favorites. A bodycan and a qipao are both available at 5/1. Long shots are a maxi-dress (6/1) and an A-line (7/1).I saw rumors a couple weeks back that "Bad Bunny" had been told by the NFL not to wear his typical transvestite attire, but I guess he's gonna let his freak flag fly.

Bringing these stories together: While Noah Trevor defames Trump as an Epstein colleague, he for some reason "forgets" that rapper Jay-Z has been named in the Epstein files, as has his wife, the world's most annoying feminist Beyonce. And Jay-Z, for some reason, was given the power to produce the Super Bowl halftime shows, and he hired the transvestite for this year's degradation pageant. Trevor Noah omitted to mention that Jay-Z is accused of having sex with young minors:
Are y’all understanding that these ppl have been sacrificing children as a way of gaining & maintaining power? If you ever vote DemonCrat again, you’re just as soulless as they are & will perish.

I don't know if that's true any more. Seems to me that most pro sports are aging out, with the younger generations having much less interest. The average age of an NFL fan is 50 years old.
The leagues have so far avoided the consequences of an aging (and dying) fan base by finding other sources of revenue -- primarily gambling and raping fans with endless fees and charges.

Yes. Power of and.
Modern popular music is extremely boring. I have posited before that other than actual songwriting acts (Adele, Taylor Swift, etc.), the music is being written by computers. I think they took 30-40 years' worth of Top 40 and used it to train an AI model back before AI took off, then used that to generate song frameworks for pop acts, with producers plugging in lyrics and tuning it up a bit. The ones that hit went back into the model, and it converged on itself so now it all sounds the same.
Whatever the genre or performer, it's all very similar structurally.
Hook, verse, chorus, hook, half a verse, hook, chorus, hook, hook, hook, chorus, hook, fade out.
It's all the same. Run it through the Twangifier to get "country." Run it through the pitch shifter to get "pop." Change the BPM and run it through the staccato filter to get "rap."

I knew because Rick Beato featured all the "Song of the Year" nominees and highlighted the lack of quality vs. 1983. (I don't know if he picked that as an outlier, bet EVERY song from 1983 is still known and played today. Undoubtedly all of today's songs will be forgotten in 10 years, let alone 40, except MAYBE Golden as all the little girls for whom this was a cultural phenomenon will remember that for the rest of their life.)

From the new Vogue profile of Gavin Newsom: 'Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome, his hair seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence...lithe, ardent, energetic, a glimmer of optimism in his eye; Kennedy-esque. Add to that his stunning wife and four adorable kids, and the executive strut of a self-made millionaire.'

Breakcore is a style of electronic dance music that emerged from jungle, hardcore, and drum and bass in the mid-to-late 1990s.[1][2] It is characterized by very complex and intricate breakbeats and a wide palette of sampling sources played at high tempos.

Posted by: Formerly Virginian

True. He has alluded to some of the reasons why in other posts. It is about economics--the orchestras are expensive and almost always lose money nowadays, then it was smaller mini orchestras, aka the Big Band era, higher wages then led to the smaller band era, and now bands simply do not exist on the top new music lists of streaming services. Legacy bands still sell records or concerts but no new bands are becoming big.
The reason is that producer/songwriter combos using a few or no session musicians nowadays, can just use whatever front person for the music that they want. No messy contracts other than a single front person singing from backing tracks that are increasingly AI. With pitch correction and other tech wizardry, the singer no longer even has to be really good, just look good for promo purposes.
The next step is AI music entirely including the singer so the songwriter/producer team gets all the money and subcontracts, or not, to record labels or roll their own.
Posted by: whig at February 02, 2026 12:29 PM (2swu2)
They seem like reasonable people. I think the main thing that separates them from the people at the Grammys is fame.
Once you start making money and everyone knows who you are, you get this identity crisis, knowing that you aren’t any more talented or hardworking than the hundreds who tried and failed to get where you are.
So you have to believe you’re special, to act like you’re special, to crave attention and controversy.
It doesn’t happen to everyone. To me, Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney always seemed to have their sh!t together, even though I’m not a big fan of either’s music.

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." Turns out that idealistic poetry doesn't make for good immigration policy.
It actually does. How do you think this country was built? Just because white supremacists blame immigrants for everything wrong in the country does not make it true. Immigrants, even illegal ones, are a net benefit to the country.

Unlike other pop tarts she has actual talent that doesn't need to be auto tuned. I watched a video on her brother-producer creating her song for the Barbie movie. She layered her own vocals without all the extra digital wizardry. It's sad though when genuine gifts get squandered.
Also, everyone knows she owes a LOT of her success to the fact her brother is a genius heavyweight of a music producer. He brought so much to her songs. So I did get really annoyed when she won a lot of awards early in her career and was like, see we ladies can win too, screw men! Lady, you owe your brother, a man, for a huge bulk of your success. Maybe be less screechy about the men ruining everything.

Spotify had a AI country song hit the top of the playlists or something just recently. Music, in particular, as a mathematical art, can be easily broken down into algorithms for AI. Same with lyrics which are a perfect fit for tokenization as the themes are very common.
Jazz and perhaps orchestral music may be the last real music standing.

Most human generated "successful" popular music is soulless slop.

The issue is that with human agency somewhere in the system even if it is just asking the prompts, the question becomes a technical one--how much input did the person have versus the machine. The adversarial process is really not designed for such matters.
Same goes for a lot of AI assisted writing which has come to dominate a lot of Amazon's Kindle Unlimited just as AI slop videos have started to dominate You Tube and Tik Tok.

That's why the Rez is such a shithole for most of the residents. Why fix or keep up your house when it belongs to the "tribal elders" who can order you off of it at any moment?

Put about 3 minutes' worth of thought of plugging lyrics into Suno, and it will spit out a complete song for you.
Udio takes a little bit more effort than that, but not a lot more.
AI generated stuff is already pretty good. Some of Skyebrows' most recent stuff like "Nvidia, Fuck Yeah" (basically the Team America song with different lyrics and an added guitar solo) is super impressive. Much better than today's paint-by-numbers pop crap.

I think Suno's current rules (which, since they haven't been codified into law by any official body, won't mean anything until someone sues them) are that if you are a free user, the company owns the rights. If you are a paid user, you do (but only for songs generated while you were a paying user, it's not retroactive).

You really can't make this up. From the new Vogue profile of Gavin Newsom: 'Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome, his hair seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence...lithe, ardent, energetic, a glimmer of optimism in his eye; Kennedy-esque. Add to that his stunning wife and four adorable kids, and the executive strut of a self-made millionaire.'
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Damn It Feels Good to Be a Trumpster! at February 02, 2026
If I steal a bunch of money from other people, does that make me a 'self made millionaire'? I mean, i guess coming up with scams to move other peoples money to your pockets is 'work' but i think that phrase is doing a lot of work there. Also, the guy has serious ferret face going on and his hair is about 40 years out of style.

Stolen land? Stolen from who? From the Injuns? Last I checked they were American Citizens. It's STILL their land.
Sure, they were treated like shit back in the 19th Century, extending up into the 20th. But it's not my problem if they pissed away their lives drinking fire water and insisting on living in those rural ghettos that most reservations turned into. The smart ones have fully integrated, and are captains of industry, even being elected to Vice President (Republican Charles Curtis, under Pres Hoover).

Classic manipulation attempt by despair-baiting. Or blackpilling, if you will.
"It's all one big repulsive club" implies a meaning that every single person mentioned in the files (even if said mention proves they rejected Epstein's invitations) is tainted.
This will resonate with the segment of the population who doesn't have agency and attribute their circumstances to the latest conspiracy theory.
"You can't vote your way out of this" reinforces that loser baiting. Because it's also vaguepoasting without proposing a solution or option (also engagement bait, so the 'solutions' will be in the deranged replies)
Avoid anyone who weaponizes pessimism, especially if they're doing it for attention points.

I don't remember the last time I watched an awards show. From photos in the UK DM today it is a freak show. Then they all Ice Out. Like any of them have an original thought or bother to read about ILLEGALS and crime. Because they don't care, being the hollow vessels of satan they are.
I can barely look at the tatted freaks. Women, especially, will someday regret turning their arms and bodies into smeared, sagging colors that look like bruising from Coumadin. We used to use Silly Putty during Civil War times to copy the print of the Sunday "funny papers." That's similar for their skin. I admire anyone who does not go this way or have their faces pierced to be cool.
While the pig nose septum ring is ick but makes me laugh at the absurdity of being strong women in their peanut sized brains (and the snot issue)...it is the eyebrow piercings that blow what is left of my mind. I know it would bother me and I'd have a perpetual headache. Which could explain a lot of their mentality.

My point is, "99% of the public loves it!" isn't right.
99% of the people who chose to buy tickets liked it.
If the 99% are just going to like the movie no matter what, does that make the 99% a good measure of the film's quality?
I haven't seen it, but it's, at best, an argument ad populum, but with the self-selection bias issue it becomes "99% of Trump fans who bought tickets like it."

I have spent many hours in jazz clubs in New Orleans and never found anything that I thought was musically "good." There are some very talented musicians in there but holy crap play something good please.
Posted by: ballistic

Bebop is definitely as you describe but Trad Jazz aka Dixieland jazz is not. Preservation Hall is where Trad jazz is king but there are some jazz clubs around the US still that will have trad jazz on occasion along with universities.
And New Orleans, is a percolating city where the trad jazz merged with the blues to become something else which merged with pop, and so on.
And trad jazz is related to rag and rag time way back.
But the point is that jazz musicians play off each other (as do orchestral musicians with a director intermediating). In jazz, at least, you often never hear the same performance again as each player is going off the others. You get similar arrangements but different performances.
AI not so much due to the way it is made.

Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican, a US citizen by birth, but pretends to speak limited English.
He's also straight but identifies as an LGBTQaii+++ ally and challenges gender norms and supports the community through his fashion.
AI Overview: Gael García Bernal (aka Bad Bunny) also starred as the real-life gay Mexican wrestler Saúl Armendáriz in the 2023 biopic Cassandro. The Amazon Prime Video film documents his rise in the 1990s as a trailblazing exótico wrestler who gained popularity despite facing homophobia in the sport.
Without the act, he's nothing but a flash in the pan.

I haven't seen it, but it's, at best, an argument ad populum, but with the self-selection bias issue it becomes "99% of Trump fans who bought tickets like it."

The 99 percent have skin in the game as they paid admission, critics often do not. A lot of Western civilization's problems stem from people with no skin in the game telling other people what they should and should not do, like and should not like, etc.
The classic derivation of this in the social sciences was the masses are asses versus the idea that the masses can form their own preferences and likes by experience even if they cannot verbalize it.
I fall in the latter camp. If the masses want to be entertained, then that is fine and good no matter what critics think. Same with sportsball, I find it useless but others do not.
Auteurs (mass media, ESPN, etc) expect that the public should follow their lead on cultural tastes as they are the artists presuming to have closely studied such.
And they throw a fit when they try to lead and no one is behind them.

Minnesota CEOs Request ‘De-Escalation’ of Federal Immigration Law Enforcement; Perhaps Federal Laws that Protect Minnesota Corporations Should Also Not Be Enforced
When I hear the MN corporate CEOs request the federal government stand down on enforcing immigration law that protects citizens, I also hear them saying it’s OK to no longer enforce federal laws that protect *their* businesses, such as Intellectual property & false advertising.

"Enforcing the law" is not their goal. Revolution is their goal. Giving the revolutionaries what they want is therefore what what they demand.
I'd like to see weaponization of law work in our favor for once. Audit and investigate all of these corporations. Find out what all illegal shit they're doing. There is surely some amount of fraud and other problems in daily operations. Any organization that large will have it. Go find it.
Then issue ruinous fines to the corporations in order to destroy them, and arrest and imprison the corporations' officers for the crimes.
Play ball or get the corporate death penalty.

But it isn't. They don't give two shits about illegal aliens, beyond wanting to continue employing them and shifting costs out. That is fairly minor.
The "real solutions" that they want all involve socialist revolution.
So give them what they want. Entirely. Any corporation that advocates for revolutionary socialist policies should be immediately nationalized, with all owners expropriated.

First, you have to recognize that some of these companies have become international entities that see themselves as above America - stateless, globalist entities.

The problem is that 99% of illegals working for companies have their papers. Even if the company suspects an employee is illegal, if they have papers there's nothing they can do about it. The papers are fake or obtained illegally, sure, but on their faced they look legal. So even the most guilty CEO or manager can always say "Don't blame me, Jose had his papers."

No, don't start with the federal laws mostly affecting large corporations. At least not specifically. Start with the jurisdictions - state, local.
I'd have had DOJ/FBI/all other agencies draw up a complete list of law enforcement, and law enforcement support, provided to a given jurisdiction.
Then "de-prioritize" such enforcement - i.e. just stop it. You know, how the feds have chosen to not enforce immigration law for decades. Online fraudsters are feasting on people and businesses in your city? Wow, a string of bank robberies? Somebody outside the state is somehow harming businesses? Damn, that's a shame.
Meanwhile, feds focus on cooperative jurisdictions (except immigration enforcement, which continues X2 in stupid places).

Target also has a structural problem its biggest competitor (Wal-Mart) does not: it's almost entirely urban and suburban. There aren't many Target stores in the exurbs and beyond.
As a result, many of Target's stores are in the blue hives. This makes their performative leftism useful on a transactional basis, but it also means they pursue policies that radically increase the cost of goods sold, primarily theft (and expensive mitigation costs), local corruption costs, out-of-control real estate costs, etc.
It scores marketing points with their AWFL target market, but causes structural strain throughout the productive business.

There is no silver bullet. But I believe that the 20-30% "in the middle" (low information voters) are still somewhat open to persuasion. And, if '24 election/poll numbers have degraded this much based on opposing spin, I maintain we're foolish not to fight that battle for public opinion, because a good chunk of the voters were with us only a year ago.

It only "worked" in 2020 because of covid which allowed for this concentrated BLM support. It also didn't work in 2020 because they shut down ballot counting in six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely beat Trump (the GA documentation is...detailed and damning and exactly in line with this).

First, fix e-Verify, or use resources to make it effective in select situations as examples. The main lazy excuse - not a reason, an excuse and a dodge - is that illegals can commit fraud and there's no way for employers to dig into it. Well HSI can dig into it, that's their purpose.
It's not that hard. Pick a few large employers with known large-scale e-Verify fraud situations. HSI starts digging into individual cases and booting the fraudster illegals. Monkeys, seeing chickens being killed, react predictably.
Of course before this there can be a focus on known large-scale violators (food processing, etc), where they often don't even bother with e-Verify fraud. But don't just raid/root out the illegals. Prosecute the executives for their clear crimes. Massive demonstration effect.

No way. It's maybe 1%. Partisan leanings are just baked in the cake. The "I'm gonna decide on which side to vote on based on the issues of the day," or whatever voter is vanishingly small.
It's about turnout of partisans and leaners, and combine that with the fact that the media is SIGNIFICANTLY less powerful now, especially amongst those who aren't addicted to it (super powerful with those who watch MSNOW all day, super unimportant to everyone else) with social media having cut through the shit and provided their own bubbles to thrive in.
No, way, man. Your model is both wrong and like 20 years out of date.

When the question is asked plainly ("Do you support deporting all illegal immigrants?"), the answer is usually 55-60% in the affirmative.
When the question is asked poorly ("Do you support Trump murdering innocent BIPOC allies to tear families apart?") it gets far less support.
Also, with so much "Trump is doing so badly and there's so much chaos" you'd expect his favorability to me lower than it is. It's higher than Obama's at this point in his second term.

Any tax to hit billionaires would have to be a WEALTH tax not an income tax.
And once we normalize the government taxing wealth they aren't going to stop until they start taxing people with ANY money to their name.

I'd prefer to cap all tax deductions for 'charity' and apply corporate taxation to all these foundations that billionaires like to create.
And roll back the ability of billionaires under Citizen's United to be able to spend unlimited money in elections to influence outcomes.
Buckley v. Valeo was wrong in equating money with free speech. For example, they allow time place and manner restrictions on using bullhorns for free speech including politics. Which is exactly the same thing as allowing unlimited amounts of money to be spent on elections by billionaires. Essentially a giant megaphone blasting 24-7 giving oligarchs undue power in our elections.

After he deals with people protesting him because he's being a crappy mayor. Everything's more expensive, trash is piling up on the street. He's already doing a crappy job as mayor even by crappy NYC mayor standards.
And that ignores the news that broke that his mom is in the Epstein files, and the rumor that maybe he is Jeffrey Epstein's son. (I doubt it, but it's a fun rumor à la Justin Castreau,) but there is a non-AI pic of him as a young kid with his mom, bill Clinton, bill gates, and Jeffrey Epstein is touching him.

Blame the odd statute he was charged under. It requires a murder plus an additional separate "crime of violence." A murder alone isn't enough. Charging him under this statute was always a stretch. He's still facing the "normal" federal murder charge, which would put him in prison for life.

It is true that Barak and Epstein knew each other and Barak visited the NYC townhome on several occasions and this has been previously reported by other sources.
But, I think the point that Benz has been trying to make is that Epstein was a financier of the intel agencies primarily as he worked for Bear Stearns involving their relations with BCCI in the 80's. BCCI was a CIA related corporation (look up Clifford Case btw) and a project of the Safari club (western intel agencies) doing shady shit across the globe.
So Epstein being a pervert was his hobby and passion but apparently he moved a lot of money around the globe and was spook related to the CIA, Mossad perhaps, and likely MI-6.
So, Epstein was an 'asset' apparently and as such got intel protection for his sick perverted fantasies. And possible at times, the intel agencies asked him to produce kompromat on specific individuals, especially foreign ones like the Al Thani family and the Saudis.

It only requires the employer only to verify that the employee submitted the required "authorized" documents.
That is, a 25 year old Hispanic who speaks limited English can submit obviously forged docs that say his name is Joe Smith and he was born in the US in 1958 and there's ... no penalty on the employer for accepting that:
They are the authorized documents.
And nothing in the law that lets a diligent employer verify with the feds the identity.
Plus state laws that make doing so a crime ....

No clue. Maybe judge it on the merits and sourcing of the information than on whether someone with "credentials" approves of the guy telling you about it?
I never figured out why people like Kissinger were on the board for Theranos, other than it became a thing for "those who deserve a board membership due to their service" to get into a position to loot a profitable start up and their money managers didn't realize it was overhyped and a fraud that they would lose money on instead.
I think this is a good explanation why the C Suites and boards like whatever the current thing is. They just use the Private Equity model nowadays, and gut the company before selling the wreckage

When he discovered she was pregnant, he dismissed her. She won the case and was awarded five shillings per week in support of their child."

I understand the shock value of being mostly topless, but that shock is far, far too mild nowadays, when actual beauties are doing it.
Was her intent to repulse? Was it prurient? What was the political message? Is her career dying, and she has to jumpstart it? Is she a singer? An actor? A hooker?
So many questions...

As I recall, the Golden Globes were originally a fake award that a foreign journalist cooked up to get his boss (and the bosses of all the other foreign journalists) to pay for a big party. They'd collect money for "covering" the "award show", which they spent on booze. Then they'd give an "award" to any celebrity who showed up for the party.

The first one, for sure. Probably some of the others, as she's some sort of outspoken progressive on lgbtq and other issues? Only know her from headlines, but pretty sure she's the radical, scoldy type they're promoting in Hollywood.
The many questions seems the point: a visual assault against femininity, for daring to be a man enjoying a provocatively dressed young woman, etc..

Correct.
Santa Claus v the Martians was Louis B. Mayer's passion project. He had to fight his own studio, the US government, and Liechtenstein to get it financed.
That it wasn't well received is why he decided to cut up John Huston's The Red Badge of Courage, to show those hoity-toity assholes his power.

That award should have gone to Bogdanovich.

TS songs are played in every grocery store /retail store and every elevator that plays music in America. Her appearances on TV in commercials,etc are ubiquitous.
1) I avoid grocery stores and retail stores. Elevators don't really play music anymore that I've heard.
2) I don't watch commercial TV.
3) If I were inadvertently exposed to her voice, I wouldn't know it.
4) Yes, I'm a curmudgeon.

I saw an article a few years back, from Forbes I think, the point of which was that the vast majority of money made in the music business is earned by a very small group of performers.
This is true of any profession largely dominated by leftists (journalism, academia, the arts, entertainment, fashion).
In addition to monstrous levels of income inequality, these professions also feature sexual misconduct, financial chicanery and ruthless exploitation and disposal of the weak and powerless.

From Dark Gloomy Art:
The painting "Les Nymphes" by Luis Ricardo Falero, created in approximately 1878, depicts a group of nymphs engaging in various activities in a nocturnal, serene landscape. The scene is set by a body of water, illuminated by a subtle light that reflects off the water's surface and highlights the figures. The nymphs are portrayed in different poses: some are standing, others sitting or reclining, and one is playfully perched on another's shoulders. Their interactions suggest a sense of camaraderie and ease within their natural surroundings. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a way that guides the viewer's eye across the canvas. The painter's skill is evident in the rendering of the human form, the play of light on skin, and the overall tranquil atmosphere that is both idyllic and sensuous. Falero's attention to detail and ability to capture the mythical quality of these figures are central to the painting's aesthetic and thematic essence.
I know nothing of the artist but it's a well done painting.
I'll pass hanging.

If you bet wisely it can be profitable. Nice training platform to develop situational awareness and risk management. These are skillz.

Pro-sports have always been about gambling. Football is boring unless you have money on it. The mask might have come off in the last couple of years but it's been about gambling for many many moons.

And if it ends up cracking under the weight and corruption, they will have nobody to blame but themselves. The audience is still there, and still huge. Off from its all-time highs, but holding up fairly well. If they killed the golden goose, that's on them.

Once again, normalizing a vice has corrosive secondary effects. A couple of MLB guys were suspended in an investigation on proposition bets. All this talk about MLB/NFL/NBA being "rigged" comes from degenerate gamblers.

Was your lovely bride showing dogs in Indianapolis last week? Mrs Pilot says there were a pile of Borzois there. I told her it would be funny if she met her to ask if her husband is a moron…

I think gambling is just one of the symptoms of the rot.
What is killing sportsball is the same corporatist mentality that is corrupting damn near every institution. Since it's all just a wealth redistribution racket, well then sure, introduce gambling into it.

There's no Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Genesis, or Fleetwood Mac to crank out their *own music from their *own heads and their *own musical talent.
And don't get me started on the insulting gutter crap that is rap "music."
Posted by: red speck at February 02, 2026 10:50 AM (Ve/HL)
Yeah its all crap. Reason #475636 why I stayed in metal. It can't be faked, you still need to be top of your game to play it, and for the most part it gets better and better. I will say though, some sub genres of it exist that are pure garbage and no doubt infected by the same mentality that took out most other music, but there is a defense perimeter around a sizable solid core, and none shall pass.

She looks like a vampire. Now, she a lesbian one so she's back in vogue, or something.
I never would have thought nipple rings could be used to tie up one's clothing. How about that? As she ages, they'll hold up her pants and her tramp stamp will look like a battleship.
Old age is tough enough without the embellishments.

Some physical contact - hitting and tackling an opponent - is still allowed. Can't do it legally in any other sport team except hockey.
And pro 'rassslin!

And unless you have an agent or are Hunter Biden you ain’t selling that many for that much in a year.
That’s why a lot of painters look up to Thomas Kinkade even if the don’t like his paintings.

You need to listen to metal, then. Tons of good new stuff. My fave is Opeth, they're prog/death metal, incredible talent and creativity.

Used to be that sports gambling was oriented largely to teams, betting on the Raiders, Lakers, White Sox etc. With the rise of Fantasy Sports, the only thing that matters is individual players putting up stats. Teamwork and winning games is a distant second to individual stats.
