No, Children, You're Wrong. Once Upon A Time There Was An ONT

Welcome to Thursday night! Here's some fun facts you didn't know about Nelson Mandela:

Split-Second Decision by Hero Police Officers Saved 'Numerous Lives' in Baltimore Bridge Disaster


According to The Baltimore Banner, the Dali sent a distress signal as it began to lose power, which was picked up by the Coast Guard.

Maryland Transportation Authority Police then stepped in to contain the situation.

The officers were monitoring the stricken container ship Dali as it experienced a power failure and drifted disastrously off course towards the Key Bridge.

At 1:27 a.m., a call came over the dispatch radio that the Singapore-flagged Dali cargo vessel had lost steering and was on a collision course with the bridge. “There’s a ship approaching that just lost their steering. So until they get that under control we gotta stop all traffic,” the dispatch officer stated over the radio.

A second officer quickly moved into position on the south end and successfully stopped northbound traffic.

These two as yet unnamed MTA officers, with a bare 90 seconds warning, managed to close the bridge and ensure that there was no traffic when the boat hit. They even remembered the work crew that was on the bridge and started to go get the workers, but they just didn't have time, and 6 of the 8 men who were working on the bridge lost their lives. Many commuters could have joined them if not for the quick thinking of the officers. I'm glad to see the officers getting the recognition they deserve.

Related: The effects of the Baltimore bridge collapse will be horrific. Let me break it down.

How will the complete shutdown of a port that employs 15,300 people directly and 140,000 overall affect a city of a half-million people like Baltimore? What about the loss of $400 million in taxes for a state that's already facing a budget crisis?

And once businesses redirect their routes to different ports and work out the logistics, how many will come back to Baltimore in the years ahead?

For car and light truck traffic, there are 2 tunnels you can take instead of the bridge. For heavy trucks, the option is to go west around the city on the beltway. It will add about 20 miles to your trip. All 3 routes are already crowded, the extra traffic is going to increase commute times dramatically.

The bigger problem is the loss of the port. Baltimore harbor is shut down (see map), all of the port facilities are behind the bridge. That's 450 million in lost tax revenue for a city that's already financially teetering. Couple that with the 150K jobs that depend either directly or indirectly on the port traffic...It's bad. Really, really bad.

America’s Stunning Embrace Of Paganism Signals The End Of This Country As We Know It

So if we have entered a post-Christian era in the West and are facing a return, in modern guises, of paganism, what does that mean for America? It means the end of America as we know it, and the emergence of something new and terrifying in its place.

America was founded not just on certain ideals but on a certain kind of people, a predominantly Christian people, and it depends for its survival on their moral virtue, without which the entire experiment in self-government will unravel. As Christianity fades in America, so too will our system of government, our civil society, and all our rights and freedoms. Without a national culture shaped by the Christian faith, without a majority consensus in favor of traditional Christian morality, America as we know it will come to an end. Instead of free citizens in a republic, we will be slaves in a pagan empire.

Perhaps that sounds dramatic, but it is true nevertheless. There is no secular utopia waiting for us in the post-Christian, neopagan world now coming into being — no future in which we get to retain the advantages and benefits of Christendom without the faith from which they sprang. Western civilization and its accoutrements depend on Christianity, not just in the abstract but in practice. Liberalism relies on a source of vitality that does not originate from it and that it cannot replenish. That source is the Christian faith, in the absence of which we will revert to an older form of civilization, one in which power alone matters and the weak and the vulnerable count for nothing.

What awaits us on the other side of Christendom, in other words, is a pagan dark age. Here, in the third decade of the 21st century, we can say with some confidence that this dark age has begun.

Hmmm... There's something I read once...it's right on the tip of my tongue...

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

-John Adams

Oh yeah, that's it.

State of Canadian Armed Forces' combat readiness growing worse, government report warns


Only 58 per cent of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) would be able to respond if called upon in a crisis by NATO allies right now — and almost half of the military's equipment is considered "unavailable and unserviceable" — says a recent internal Department of National Defence (DND) presentation obtained by CBC News.

The presentation, which touches on everything from readiness and equipment to recruiting and ammunition supplies, is dated Dec. 31, 2023.

It's the latest comprehensive snapshot of the state of the military.

The overview paints an alarming picture of the forces' decline in readiness — one that's even worse than the figures presented in last year's federal budget documents.

We failed in 1812, but things are looking good if we want to have another go at capturing Canada.

Story I heard was that the tugs charge one hellacious rate per minute when actually in towing service, so to save a few bucks, the tugs were told to cast off and return to port.

Yes, they've got either a bunch of trolls or one guy socking e.g. a leftist, a white power type, et alia regenerating Disqus accounts with every banning -- probably every second day or so.

Disqus report them/him as applicable e.g. for hate content; just posts an IMAGE, call it spam; no actionable Disqus complaint, then report him for Impersonation that might stick as a complaint from a new account with only a few comments made ["That's not the real J*hnny!"]. Then block as accumulated blocks also go towards Disqus-style banhammering.

What traffic there was visible on the video taken from south of the bridge leading up to the collapse moved from right to left -- in other words, in the southbound lanes. There were no moving vehicles visible on the span at the moment of collapse in the video.

72 B'more should roll the dice, and make this an opportunity

For the length of time that the port remains closed, and till be bridge is rebuilt and back in service...use that time to do ALL the maintenance on the docks, piers, warehouses, container handling cranes, truck scales, and etc.

Widen and deepen the berths at those piers, set them up to handle the larger ships coming from the 2nd Panama Canal.

In short, kick the ports' ass into becoming the most high-speed, low-drag, cargo handling Super Port on the entire East Coast.

This, I believe, is how the most quickly recoup their losses from what's sure to be a two-year closure, maybe more.

75 I understand that it will take time to rebuilt a bridge. But the harbor doesn't require a new bridge to resume operations - just a clear waterway. How long could it take to cut up/drag the broken pieces out of the way?

What's Up With Shipping has a new video that touches on that. The upshot is that there are at least 3 major jurisdictions and 3 salvage companies involved and no one person/entity that's actually in charge of the whole thing, so expect a clusterfuck.

There is a video out there that shows several minutes (5-10, maybe) before the boat hit. There were quite a few vehicles on that bridge. Then, there wasn't and less than a minute later, the boat hit and the bridge collapse. Those cops did good. I'm probably off on the time frame.

Posted by: GWB at March 28, 2024 10:03 PM (69JzL)

Tugs are staggeringly expensive, thousands of dollars an hour. Vessel owners and operators will typically only use tugs when a) conditions necessitate it or b) rules and regs require it. Neither applied here for an outbound transit once the ship was in the channel and under own power.

Given people in Toronto are being told to leave their car keys on their front porch at night so criminals can steal their cars without having to enter their home and shoot them there's a good shot we'd actually be greeted as liberators.

But only if it was us-us. The US government would immediately set about trying to teach the criminals how to be gay instead.

There was supposed to be a tunnel where that bridge was, they'd even started digging it. Then some bright engineer told the Democrats a bridge would cost like 1/4th as much and they could pocket the rest of the money.

Maritime experts had a betting pool on when a ship would knock that bridge over, because it's the only major port in the world with a bridge across the main shipping channel.

130 "The Sidney Sherman Bridge (Houston, ship channel bridge) is outfitted with fenders along and in front of its piers, which are designed to prevent damage to the structure.

Even with the fenders in place, the Sidney Sherman Bridge is no stranger to ship collisions.

In 2001, a freighter's cargo boom struck the northbound side of the 135-foot-tall bridge, bending an outside support beam and sending chunks of concrete into the ship channel.

Just a few months earlier, three people were injured when the crane on a freighter punched a 10-foot-wide hole in the bottom of the bridge.

As Houston police officer T.L. Burnett put it at the time, “It caused a huge hole, enough to swallow a whole vehicle.”

“TxDOT works closely with local and regional partners, including the U.S. Coast Guard and Port of Houston, to help prevent ships and barges from colliding with bridges,” the spokesperson said. (Duh)

131 Apparently a tunnel was the original design intent, but cost too much and there were worries about trucks with hazardous loads in a tunnel.

Also never knew that the ruins of Fort Carroll, a 3.4-acre, hexagonal island, are nearby the bridge. The fort was created in 1848 under the supervision of Robert E. Lee to protect Baltimore from naval attacks. It was abandoned years ago and now the birds own it.

Chris Williamson was interviewing Alex O'Connor who is sort of the anti-Jordan Peterson in that he has a similiar thoughtful demeanor and way of coming to answers but he believes all the opposite things.

He had a debate with Peterson and noted at one point that of course life would be better overall if everyone believed in Christianity, but in his case he doesn't.

And I think the deists among the Founders knew this as well. A Christian populace would govern itself far better then an atheist or even agnostic one...

Orilly? The Port of Houston has the Fred Hartman Bridge (State Hwy 146), the Beltway 8 Ship Channel Bridge, and the Sydney Sheldon Bridge (Loop 610), and all three lie directly across the Main Ship Channel.

Between the Port of Baltimore and Newport News Virginia you have an armada of crane ships and tug boats within 2 hours of the bridge. Add to that they probably have the highest concentration in America of welders certified for underwater cutting and divers that do mechanical work.

The real problem is the legal battle over who gets to do the work. It will be weeks before they come to an agreement on which contractors have the proper kickback offer to get the work. Then the union workers who didn't get the job have to negotiate how much they get paid to not work. All of this needs to be done before they get started.

I bet 8 tugs could have that dragged out of the way in a day.

Just about every major port has bridges over the main channel, such as the Varazano Narrows bridge in NYC.

152 CBD - You’re assuming that the people in charge of Baltimore don’t want at least 25% of the money, and want the port and bridge back up and running quickly. In this case, I expect graft and greed to slow it down tremendously. I’ll be overjoyed if I’m wrong.

Martini Farmer at March 28, 2024 10:34 PM (Q4IgG)

Quite correct. There's actually two (technically four of you want to really get into the weeds) as the 710 crosses Terminal Island. You're probably thinking of the Vincent Thomas bridge on the west, beautiful span. I've got some great photos. Gateway bridge is on the east side.

Both however along with 710 are in the back half of the port complex, losing one would be a major inconvenience but would not close the port.

There is a bridge here in Seattle that connects west Seattle to the city. It was shut down for over two years because the bridge had big ass cracks in it and needed major repairs. I took a detour that cost me up to two hours to get off the peninsula by car. And another two hours to get home.

"The waiver of the Act was implemented in 2022 only after Hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico. The Biden administration allowed a non-U.S. flagged ship to transport fuel to Puerto Rico, following pressure to waive the rule in the face of a fuel shortage to ensure that citizens could run generators needed for electricity and the functioning critical facilities."

In their role as UN peacekeepers, they are among the select few who do their duty without reproach.

I like NATO far more with Canada in it than would be the case if they were absent. We also need to recall that the only time Article V of the NATO Charter was invoked was by the US in the aftermath of 9/11, and Canada was among the many alliance members that answered the call.

340 All one needs to do is look at the appalling way the Canadian government treated its citizens who peacebly assembled and petitioned their government for a redress of grievances. Not to mention its cheerful sanctioning of murder so government can continue pampering and babying its citizens with "free" medical care.

With the exception of some based Canadians who read here, or lurk here, or awesome people like AOP who frequently post here, most Canadians cheerfully permit this state of affairs to go on. To paraphrase the Texas Declaration of Independence, I have reached the melancholy conclusion that Canadians have acquiesced in the destruction of their liberty, and are unfit to be free, and incapable of self-government.

363 Did you see the size of the cargo on the ship that hit the bridge?
Posted by: JackStraw at March 29, 2024 12:16 AM (LkLld)

I think the hazardous cargo was a relative handful of containers, mostly some flammables, and lithium ion batteries.

My guess is they will drag the boat to a harbor after disentangling it from the bridge.

365 I got into music shortly after CDs became relatively affordable. I honestly thought "Who's Next" was a Greatest Hits album. Probably my second favorite album behind Dire Straits Brothers in Arms.
Posted by: Chuck C at March 28, 2024 11:24 PM (yOPBE)


That record came out in 1971, when I was 15-years-old; I actually pity the young kids today when it comes to 'modern' music. My teen music is now being covered by all the 'music reaction' videos, so I know I'm definitely 29. But, yes, 'Who's Next' is a greatest album, not just album of their greatest hits; you put put the needle down on any track and it was a winner. And I agree with the Moron above who said 'By Numbers' is criminally underrated. I must agree. 'In A Hand Or A Face':

All the history of a soul in torment
Ingrained in a hand or a face
Ain't it funny how they all fire the pistol
At the wrong end of the race


Really good lyrics, as it often the case with songs by The 'ho.

368 Catch Thirty Thr33, you make a number of good points, but absent some incident not made public, Canada has a solid record as a member of NORAD, and I'd prefer any help we could get in keeping the North American continent safe. Our interests coincide there, and even strategic Realists, the most cynical analysts of global security issues, wouldn't see any point in severing a tie that seems to be working well.

Canada's right of self-determination as a sovereign state has not always played out to their benefit, but I'd much sooner bet on their chances for working out a future that favors individual rights and freedom than that of any of our neighbors to the south.

Regarding NATO, Canada's role as a member of that alliance is something that they, in their capacity as a sovereign nation, agreed to in 1949. Lester Pearson, the Canadian Secretary of State For External Affairs (and later Canadian Prime minister) was one of the key authors in the work of negotiating and drafting the NATO Charter. This was something of vital importance to the US and the Western world at the time, and Canada is one of the major reasons it came into being. /1

374 So, it's a bit of hubris on our part to attempt to cast one of the major founders of NATO into the outer darkness. I would have the same issue if NATO decided to ditch us for the same reason.

I think there's a reasonable solution here - the question should be put to the Canadian people and decided via an electoral referendum. If they want to withdraw, they withdraw. If they want to stay, we have every right as strategic partners to establish the degree of commitment that would be required from them. In fact, if we urged that with other NATO members, there's a possibility of establishing a viable security framework that fits the realities of 21st century geo-political realities.

That's great, and we'll always have that. But TODAY, the country you describe, that contributed soldiers to landings on Gold, Sword and Juno Beaches, and had divisions posted in West Germany ready to defend the Fulda Gap and North German Plain against a Soviet invasion is GONE. In case you missed it, PM Pearson is dead and PM Harper was run out of Ottawa in October 2015. PM Trudeau has said he does not want to do the bare minimum of support for NATO and his government has an appalling record regarding its citizenry. Send them packing.

Putting that together would be difficult, although some leftists might be snookered into joining the push. If it ever gets to the point where votes could be tallied, that could be a basis for re-visiting the NATO Charter and hammering out the basis for a more realistic security arrangement.

Probably wouldn't work, but I do like the way that even the mention of such referendums would terrify some of our less enthusiastic defense partners.

399 I am listening to a breakdown of the NTSB report on the Wings over Dallas mid-air fatal collision between the B-17 and P-63F. The Air Boss, Royce, needs to be staked out in the desert, coated in honey, and a giant magnifying glass placed over him.

The stream swap between fighters and bombers was not briefed prior to show. There was no adequate separation in altitude between the streams.

The Air Boss was located where he could not adequately see what was happening at the incident end of the runway.

The Air Boss was using non-standard terminology over the radio to both streams while trying to direct them.

While the Air Boss was directing the fighter lead to the 500ft line and warning the B-17 lead where the P-51s were located there was a PT-17 with a passenger landing under them.

So what were the qualifications for the Air Boss? He was the son of a CAF air boss. He only had 1,800 hours flight time with none in military aircraft or in air shows. He had a tower license based on two years at a military tower. And his primary job is working at a body shop.

418 Using Microsoft Flight Simulator to reconstruct the accident flight, one thing becomes apparent. The P-63F had basically one chance to spot the B-17G "Texas Raider" IF the pilot had taken his eyes off the two P-51s he was following at low altitude and looked out his right door window to pick out a green painted B-17 that would have been below him.

That is a big IF.

So was Wings over Dallas an aberration? The answer is no according to the NTSB. Earlier there was Wings over Houston. I think it was Royce the father running this show. And he called for two questionable actions. First he had an Me 262 fly head on at a B-17 and pass a few hundred feet under the bomber. Then he had a P-51 fly BETWEEN a B-17 and a C-47 that had about 2000ft separation.

At Houston they got lucky. That luck ran out at Dallas killing people and destroying two airplanes.

436 The Great Chicago Fire of 2024 is going to be lit... Mayor Johnson may want to cancel the Democrat Convention. Out of an abundance of caution.
Posted by: Anna Puma at March 29, 2024 01:20 AM (6TXCu)


Saw some clip of a presser held by black group in Chicago (inside a government building?) threatening the Democrats that, given their disdain for blacks, the convention might not be very peaceful.

Been saying for a while now once the 'hood starts to riot over the bullshit going on, it's all over for the Dems. No way to spin 'white supremacy' though I have no doubt they will mightily try to do just that.

437 The first song I heard by The Who was "I Can See for Miles". So young and dumb, I called the radio station in Chicago, got through to the DJ(!) and asked him, "Where can I get that record?" Patiently, without sarcasm (!!), he explained, "At your local record atore." I'd never heard of such a place until then.

I'll always remember his understanding a young kid.

440 Catch Thirty-Thr33, I assure you that I am indeed aware of Canadian history and politics, and I also assure that there's no animus on my part - if I came across in that fashion, then that was completely unintended. We're all on the same side here (except for Raimundo, if indeed he/she/it isn't just a bot). We all want what's best for our nation both now and in the future.

Canada's current leadership at the federal level is not entirely friendly to us, and that may extend to some degree to the Provinces and the Territories. But that state of affairs is not guaranteed to last, and in the meantime there's a lot of hemispheric issues where our nation and theirs need to work together. On NATO, the US could easily raise the issue of Trudeau's statements in session with the other member nations and that would then become something where Trudeau might have little choice but to declare an election. However the election might go, it's a win for the US. Trudeau goes, both we and Canada share a victory. If he stays, then it's fair game to introduce a motion before the assembled members of the NATO nation for a decision on the future membership and make-up of the alliance.

87 Just by coincidence, I was looking up The Quiet Man at IMDB and just found this trivia note:

"In 1986, the wife of a young New York police officer, who was shot and paralyzed on the job, saw fit to tell reporters this was her husband's favorite movie and that he adored Maureen O'Hara. After reading the report, O'Hara flew to New York and went to the officer's bedside to offer comfort and boost his morale. She became actively involved with the couple during his long recovery and physical therapy, attended their baby's christening and marched in a parade on his behalf."

Appropriate for tonight.

And from Only The Lonely: "The producers of the film did not include a trailer on location for Maureen O'Hara in their budget. John Candy was furious that the producers were showing someone of her stature such disrespect, he gave her his own trailer. The producers finally caved in, because they couldn't have Candy, the star of the film, without his own trailer."

I've read Candy especially cited her work with John Wayne "The Duke" in praising O'Hara.

The Charismatic Voice. She is my favorite reaction reviewer (I watch a few others). She is/was a professional opera singer but she is also a nerd - big D&D fan. What i like is that she gets into the technicalities of singing and she's not a snob -- started doing metal a couple of years ago, had no idea how good metal singers can be, and is enthralled by Ronnie James Dio. She also likes Bon Scott, for instance. Though he can't "technically" sing, she dives into the different components of what enables any singer to make the sound they do. Highly recommended.

The Feds Investigated James Biden's Americore Transactions

As is the rule with the Biden Crime Family -- the feds investigated, then decided not to prosecute.

"No intent!"



South Florida investigators previously probed transactions tied to Jim Biden, the brother of President Joe Biden, as part of a criminal investigation, according to Politico.

The investigators are examining a business deal involving Jim Biden as well as numerous loans issued to Americore -- a failed healthcare company for which Jim Biden used to work as a consultant -- by an investment fund managed by a James Biden associate, according to Politico, which granted its sources anonymity to speak freely about a sensitive subject. A 2022 lawsuit filed in Florida alleges that Michael Lewitt, the money manager running the investment fund that issued the Americore loans, effectively diverted millions of dollars via bogus loans to Americore.

Additionally, George Mesires -- an attorney who has previously worked for Hunter Biden and Jim Biden -- represented the entity lending the money in several of the transactions that are now being examined by federal investigators, according to Politico.

Americore paid James Biden approximately $600,000 in 2018, payments that Jim Biden has described as compensation for work that included arranging the loans, according to Politico. Jim Biden or his wife transferred $200,000 to Joe Biden on the same day in 2018 that Jim Biden received a $200,000 payment from Americore.

Jim Biden is not named as a defendant in the Florida lawsuit, and it is not known if he or his dealings are the direct focus of criminal investigations, according to Politico. The president's brother "is not being investigated by federal law enforcement in Florida or Pennsylvania," Jim Biden's lawyer told Politico via a spokesperson.

Jim Biden, Lewitt and Amer Rustom -- the CEO of a firm called the Platinum Group who purported to have ties to Middle Eastern capital -- worked together to find foreign backers for healthcare ventures including Americore, which was in poor financial condition in the late 2010s, according to Politico. The group especially looked to Qatar as a place where they could find the investment that they were seeking.

The Bidens always go to foreign countries hostile to the US for funding.

Biden can "Protect Democracy" if he manages to keep RFK Jr. off the ballot, uses corrupt prosecutors and judges to put Trump in jail, and uses government funded entities to censor Republicans and manipulate the news while servicing the military-industrial complex and taking away your guns.

If Biden can do all of that, we will finally be a free country, in the Janis Joplin sense of having nothing left to lose.

This is expected, but still disgusting. Democrats' well-funded and well coordinated campaign to use lawfare and disbarment proceedings against political opponents is celebrated by corporate media.

And nothing has happened to them except for celebration by the same corporate media.

Watching the John Eastman disbarment, it’s clear that eye-for-an-eye is the only way this ends. Red States: pick a high profile DNC election lawyer, strip them on the same BS from bar license in TX. Pick another one do it in FL. Make them feel this disbarment game goes both ways.

Okay, I'm going to give a Trump W this morning. A mutual friend of mine lives in NY. His neighbor is the funeral director doing the wake for the NYC cop just killed the other day. He met with the widow and the department. While she was in his office, the Port Authority president said there was a call for her. It was Trump.

A few minutes after that she got a call from Tunnel To Towers and they are paying off her mortgage. 🙏

I got a taste of that when the repeal happened, when all that changed was that the USSC finally figured out that we are a federal republic, and that we do not have a unitary government like Britain or France. So the question of abortion was kicked back at last to the states, where it should have remained all along. I seriously do not think abortion would have been an issue if the states retained control of the issue all this time.

NYC Begins Handing Out Free Cash Cards to Illegal Aliens, Worth $1200+ Every Month

NYC begins handing out prepaid debit cards to migrants in controversial program


The Adams administration launched its program to give prepaid debit cards to New York City migrants this week -- two months after inking a controversial no-bid $53 million contract for the deal.

Staffers with the New Jersey company, Mobility Capital Finance, handed out eight preloaded Mastercards at the Roosevelt Hotel on Monday as part of its pilot program that will expand to 115 cards by next week, according to a City Hall spokesperson.

...

The administration scaled back the original plan, which would have loaded up the cards with a month's worth of money for food and baby supplies. Cash will now need to be replenished each week.

...

A family with two parents and kids under five will receive about $350 a week, the spokesperson said.

...

The pilot program will cover about 460 out of the 64,500 migrants in the city's care as City Hall evaluates its success.

"This cost-saving measure will replace the city's current system of providing non-perishable food boxes to migrant families staying in hotels, much of which is often discarded," Adams spokesperson Kayla Mamalek said.

Giving people free money = a cost-saving measure.

Every red state governor must give a press statement about this, to get the word out to all illegals that New York City is handing out free money to illegals.

In Michistan, Gretchen the Witch is facing backlash for handing out free cash to illegals. Such programs are already unpopular, and become radioactive when one of the illegals you've been paying to illegally reside in your state turns around and murders a US citizen.


Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is facing backlash over a controversial program that provides rental subsidies to migrants, following the murder of a woman allegedly by an illegal immigrant. Critics argue that the program, which offers up to $500 to landlords renting to migrants, compromises the safety of Michigan communities.

...


Michigan's "Newcomer Rental Subsidy" program, designed to increase access to affordable housing for refugees and other newcomers, has come under fire following the alleged murder of a woman by an illegal immigrant. The program, which provides rental assistance to landlords renting to migrants, has been criticized for potentially compromising the safety of Michigan communities.

High-profile crimes committed by illegal immigrants, including the recent murder in Michigan, have heightened these concerns. The accused, Brandon Ortiz-Vite, an illegal immigrant who was deported to Mexico in 2020, has been charged with felony murder, open murder, carjacking, carrying a concealed weapon, and felony use of a firearm.

"Well that's just nit-picking isn't it?" -- Nigel Tufnel

Meanwhile, the Fifth Circuit has again blocked Texas S.B. 4, which makes illegal aliens criminal under Texas state law, from going into effect.


The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down the 2-1 ruling regarding Senate Bill 4 on Tuesday night, just a week after it had previously blocked the law, which -- if enforced -- would allow law enforcement in Texas to arrest suspected illegal immigrants and allow state judges to deport them. The court noted that this tends to be the jurisdiction of the federal government.

"The broadest exercise of federal discretion is the Executive's decision not to pursue either civilly or criminally the very noncitizens whom Texas has drawn a bead upon in enacting new state laws. The discretion to pursue these same noncitizens likely lies exclusively with the Executive," Chief Judge Priscilla Richman wrote.

She cited a 2023 U.S. v. Texas case in which the Lone Star State and neighboring Louisiana challenged the Biden Administration's guidelines regarding the arrest and removal of non-citizens, reiterating the authority lies with the Executive Branch.


...
In court, Texas has argued the law mirrors the U.S. government's immigration enforcement. The Justice Department has argued that it is a clear violation of federal authority and would create chaos at the border.

LOL, we certainly wouldn't want "chaos at the border."

OMG, are they serious?

Meanwhile, the House formally delivers articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Mayorkas to the pro-crime Democrats in the Senate.


House Speaker Mike Johnson is set to formally hand over the impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate next month. Johnson has urged Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to hold a trial "expeditiously."

House Speaker Mike Johnson has informed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that the impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will be sent to the Senate on April 10, 2024.

The House impeached Mayorkas last month on two counts, accusing him of failing to comply with and enforce existing law, along with a breach of public trust.

Once the articles are formally handed off, the Senate must act on them swiftly. Senate Republicans have called for Schumer to go through with the proceedings.

25 One of the most coveted perqs in gov. work is a credit card. People who have petty cash authority tied to a credit card are envied, as they are mostly used for theft.

This program is all about the abuse. The gov. workers who hand out the cards will vote vote vote, and that is the goal. (I guess a few will be handed out, but most will be given to relatives, etc.)

-
I think the main reason the disbursement was made weekly instead of monthly is because one criticism was that the cards made recipients targets for mugging. Because no thug would rob a card only worth $350, which also assumes that once stolen it will be reported and canceled. More likely, they will be "stolen", never canceled and recipients will just get another and another and another.

Prediction. In 6 months it will be revealed that 90% of the money was stolen and the invaders need another trillion dollar program so they can eat.

So 'immigrants' who never worked a day in the USA are basically handed as much free money as a 65 year old unmarried female who spent nearly half a century paying into Social Security will receive.

Geez, I hope they don't hear about this. They may have to decide if Roe v Wade is *that* important.

I thought the executive was required to Uphold the Law, not ignore the law. Federal Discretion to allow in criminals and put them on better welfare than Americans is a breach of ... conduct, or something. To give one man the choice of letting in 50 million or more illegals, regardless of crimes and cartel damage is insanity, not legality.

90 The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down the 2-1 ruling regarding Senate Bill 4 on Tuesday night, just a week after it had previously blocked the law, which -- if enforced -- would allow law enforcement in Texas to arrest suspected illegal immigrants and allow state judges to deport them. The court noted that this tends to be the jurisdiction of the federal government.


Don't deport them, which is the Fed's business, jail them in work camps, which is the state's business.

It's only barely plausible. It is much more plausible that Russia is faking evidence.

I am not defending Ukraine, but the uncontrollable risks of such an operation are massive and I doubt they would be that stupid. If proved that they are behind it (and why would anyone think they could hide such links in today's monitored world?) they would only aggravate the Russian populace -- helping Putin, -- and give Putin casus belli for even nuclear retaliation. If this is true and proved, then Putin wins everything.

The US routinely finances terrorism unwittingly, ISIS for example in our efforts to overthrow Assad. Sometimes more intentionally, although those we call "freedom fighters" or something.

The main twist in the story is the terrorists not turning around and using US weapons and money on US targets, which is how things end a lot.

Fire Alarm Puller Jamaal Bowman, Who Has Previously Pushed "Bush Did 911" Trutherism Conspiracy Theories, Now Claims That Jews Are Fabricating Evidence About Hamas' Rape Teams

Jamaal Bowman, the only male "Squad" member and someone who made the Youthful Mistake of peddling anti-American 911 conspiracy theories when he was (checks notes) thirty fucking five years old, now tells a group of pro-Hamas protesters that those sinister Jews are lying about rape.


"There was propaganda used in the beginning of the siege... There's still no evidence of beheaded babies or raped women. But they still keep using that lie [for] propaganda."

Posted by Stacey Matthews

There's a reason why the Democratic anti-Israel members of Congress are nicknamed the Hamas Caucus, and it is perhaps best demonstrated by way of a November video that has resurfaced showing Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) acting in the role of a Hamas rape denier.

Bowman, who is also known for being a comrade in the Democratic Socialist "Squad" led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), was speaking at a "Ceasefire NOW" rally in White Plains, NY, where he not only accused Israel of lying about the rapes Hamas committed against Israeli women but also suggested that the baby beheadings committed by Hamas terrorists didn't happen.

He also used the word "siege" to describe the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, and rest assured that it was unlikely the conspiracy theorist Congressman was referring to Hamas' reign of terror at the NOVA festival or any of the other areas they attacked on October 7th:


Incredibly, when Bowman was confronted by the media late last week about the video, he initially refused to answer questions, saying his mind was on other things and that he'd have his staff get back to them...

But later, he issued a formal statement in which he claimed without evidence that his words had been "twisted"...

Twisted? We're quoting you exactly.

More at the link.

Now two members of the Squad's "Hamas Corner" are facing strong primary opponents -- backed by, you guessed it, those sinister Jews who falsify rape evidence and "twist" your words.


Jewish Dems endorse challengers to Squad members Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush

[Picture of these ugly people omitted:]
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) middle, and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), right, attend a vigil alongside state legislators and faith leaders currently on hunger strike outside the White House to demand that President Joe Biden call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza on Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2023.


The Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) on Thursday announced its endorsement of primary challengers to two far-left lawmakers, the first time the group -- which is closely aligned with the Democratic Party -- has backed candidates who are challenging Democratic incumbents.

JDCA offered its support to George Latimer, the Westchester County executive who is taking on Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), and Wesley Bell, a St. Louis prosecutor looking to unseat Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO). Both Bowman and Bush have held strongly anti-Israel views since first elected -- and have only amplified their animus since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks.

But they are also vulnerable because of scandals that are unrelated to Israel. Bush is under criminal investigation over alleged misspending of federal security money. Bowman pled guilty to a misdemeanor for pulling a fire alarm in a House office building last fall.

You're supposed to believe the Palestinian claims of mass rape in Gaza by the IDF, though.

Amusingly, Hamas itself denounced the mass rape claims in Gaza, because it was causing civilians to flee, and Hamas was losing its human shields.

The photograph that won first place in the prestigious POY photojournalism competition’s Team Picture Story of the Year category is a photograph of Hamas terrorists in the back of a truck posing over the half-naked corpse of German-Israeli citizen Shani Louk.

20 photographs from the Associated Press (AP) depicting the war that began when Hamas massacred 1,200 people on October 7 received the award. The first of these photographs was taken by Associated Press (AP) photographer Ali Mahmud, who accompanied the terrorists who committed the massacre on October 7 and documented their atrocities as they were committed, and captured the terrorists celebrating over Louk’s corpse.||

44 Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig
Al Jazeera has admitted that a story accusing Israeli soldiers of perpetrating rape against women during the IDF’s latest excursion against Hamas at Shifa Hospital that they circulated is nothing but a lie.

Al Jazeera columnist and former director Yasser Abuhilalah also tweeted, admitting that, “It was revealed through Hamas investigations that the story of the rape of women in Al-Shifa Hospital was fabricated… The woman who spoke about rape justified her exaggeration and incorrect talk by saying that the goal was to arouse the nation’s fervor and brotherhood.”

How many times do we have to tell the world that Hamas and all their mouthpieces are liars?

How many times do they have to be caught in their lies, spreading false narratives to further blood libels against Israel and the Jewish people around the world, for everyone to stop taking their words as truth?

Why is it easier for the world to believe in the words of terrorists than those of Jews?

Most "street-level" racism is against groups in close proximity. People don't usually think about faraway groups much, it's why you don't hear people rambling about the damned Mongolians in the US. There's also religious(Islam) and intellectual strains of anti-Jewishness though so that tends to be more prevalent than one would otherwise expect.

Federal Appeals Court Rules that Pennsylania Must Verify Signatures for Mail-In Voting

There is no reason to oppose this minor, barely-adequate measure, except to increase voter fraujd.


The U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of signature verification for mail-in voting in Pennsylvania, overturning a previous federal district court ruling. The decision, hailed as a "crucial victory for election integrity" by the Republican National Committee (RNC), was made by a 2-1 majority of Democrat-appointed judges.


The ruling comes after the RNC, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and the Pennsylvania Republican Party (PAGOP) secured a victory on this issue in front of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in November 2022. However, a federal district court struck down the dated signature requirement in November 2023, leading to the RNC's appeal and the recent 3rd Circuit Court ruling.

"The Pennsylvania General Assembly has decided that mail-in voters must date the declaration on the return envelope of their ballot to make their vote effective," the ruling stated. "The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania unanimously held this ballot-casting rule is mandatory; thus, failure to comply renders a ballot invalid under Pennsylvania law."


Less voter fraud in a swing state is bad for Biden. A Fox News poll finds more bad news for Biden: 38% of voters cannot name a single thing he's accomplished.


Only 22% of voters feel better off now than four years ago, while 52% feel worse off.

The economy receives a negative rating from 73% of respondents, showing slight improvement from last year.

Biden's approval ratings remain low, with 41% approving his overall job performance and 38% approving his handling of the economy.

As usual, the liberal leaning poll conducted and analyzed by a Hillary Clinton donor is better for Biden than most polls.


In a telling assessment of President Joe Biden's tenure, a recent Fox News national survey paints a bleak picture of public sentiment. The poll reveals that only about one in five voters, or 22%, believe they are better off now than they were four years ago. This contrasts sharply with the 52% who feel they are worse off, underscoring widespread economic dissatisfaction.

This sentiment crosses party lines to an extent, with a significant majority of Republicans (72%) and independents (59%) expressing that they are worse off. Even among Democrats, a significant portion either feel the same or worse than four years ago. The economy remains a critical concern, with 73% of respondents rating it negatively, albeit a slight improvement from 83% last May. The negative economic perception is more pronounced among Republicans and independents compared to Democrats.

In terms of the president's accomplishments, the survey brings to light a notable perception gap. When asked to name the administration's achievements without prompts, 38% of voters couldn't think of any or responded negatively. Comparatively, during the Trump administration, 27% had a similar response. The top accomplishments attributed to Biden include handling the economy/jobs (19%), student loan forgiveness (6%), and infrastructure (6%). However, a large segment of voters see his top achievement as "not being Trump" or are unable to name any substantive accomplishments.

Biden's staff and nurses have again had to call Biden a deluded old fool and "clarify" his comments. Once again,
President Puddingcup departs from the script written for him by his Cognitive Care Team and just makes shit up because he thinks it sounds good.


U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has "clarified" [my sneer quotes] President Biden's remarks regarding the funding for the reconstruction of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, suggesting that insurance payments and the bipartisan infrastructure law could cover the costs, rather than U.S. taxpayers. This comes after Biden's statement that the federal government would bear the entire cost of the bridge's reconstruction.

...

Secretary Yellen's comments on MSNBC appear to walk back President Biden's earlier statement that the federal government would foot the entire bill for the bridge's reconstruction. "My expectation would be that ultimately there will be insurance payments, in part, to cover this. But we don't want to allow worrying about where the financing will come from to hold up reconstruction," Yellen said.

Biden's boast that he'll spend a few more trillion dollars is probably sadly accurate.

But he wasn't supposed to boast that Big Daddy Government will pay for every single expense incurred by a blue state.

Meanwhile, Trump attended a funeral for the latest slain NYPD officer -- this one murdered at a routine stop -- while President Droolcupattends $25 million fundraiser hosted by Stephen Colbert.


President Biden is in New York City for a $25 million fundraiser with former Presidents Obama and Clinton, while former President Trump attends the wake of slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller. The stark contrast in engagements highlights the political divide as Biden builds a substantial financial lead over Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.


President Biden, accompanied by former President Obama, arrived in New York City for a star-studded fundraiser expected to raise a record-breaking $25 million. The event, hosted by CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert, will feature a discussion with the three Democratic presidents and performances by Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele. The Biden campaign has hailed the event as "the most successful political fundraiser in American history".

Meanwhile, former President Trump is attending the wake of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, who was tragically killed on Monday. Trump's presence at the wake, about half an hour away from where Biden's fundraiser is taking place, creates a stark contrast in engagements. Trump has sought to flip the script on the fundraiser, stating in an emailed fundraising appeal: "Remember, my campaign isn't powered by the Hollywood 'elite' writing 6-figure checks -- IT'S POWERED BY YOU!"

24 I just have to say:

It was the law in AZ in 2022. The then Secretary of State effectively turned it off. A federal judge, ten months after the election, said it was illegal.

The election was not held again. The secretary of state still became governor.

The courts will just allow election law breaking again. Why should they stop?


Which is exactly why we need to be strongly proactive, and that's what the new RNC team is doing.

The event, hosted by CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert, will feature a discussion with the three Democratic presidents and performances by Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele. The Biden campaign has hailed the event as "the most successful political fundraiser in American history".

Oh, I'll bet that PA complies. Technically.

Signature verification is likely an automated system. Scan the signature, compare it to the signature on file. If it matches pretty well (likely 80% confidence or better, if I had to guess), the signature is verified. It happens automatically.

So just turn the crank down to 0.1% confidence, and every signature "matches" every other - and the ruling is satisfied. The SoS declares that 0.1% confidence is reasonable verification - and statistically, no signature can fail to match.

Right, but it indicates to me that the Party is worried that it might actually a fight on its hands, fraud potential aside. Getting those two to back Biden in a meaningful way and put on a big, public show had to involve a lot of favors and a lot of pressure.

162 Interesting clip linked about the bridge. They don't have anyone yet who is the Incident Commander and have awarded contracts for various things (ship salvage, clearing bridge from the navigation area or whatever and something else) Hey I only listened with half an ear. Go to the link for better info " Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) at March 28, 2024 03:57 PM (xG4kz) "

Given current general disfunction I won't be surprised if Bootygig doesn't appoint an incident commander for a couple of months and the various companies get in each others way in the meantime. The Coast Guard commander can declare himself in charge based on the oil spill precedent but will a current DEI environment commander do that?

Blacks are in a parallel cell that we are in. They are beholden to their community leaders as we are to our representatives and until they stop following their grifting leaders ie. Al Sharptone, Sheila J. Lee (there's one in every community) and choose to follow leaders (they've got to present themselves) who want for the good of the community ; as a group, they're stuck.

236 So "people aren't buying the lies" is now called a "perception gap?"

An ex-president of Harvard and a couple of other economists wrote a paper noting that if we used the same technique for calculating inflation now that we used in the 1990's, inflation would be at 16%.

Yeah, "perception gap".

1. You CAN'T just walk into a place called "The People's House" by many a demagogue over the years, and disrupt Congress like the Handmaidens did screeching at people over Kavanagh--and that they were raped once, by somebody other than Kavanagh.

2. You CAN just ignore voting laws and do what you want if you have been trusted with counting votes for a "democracy" (where the will of the people rules and is expressed by what? the COUNT of votes).

Lesson: MAGA breaks decorum because they don't care about the law--or democracy.

In many states, they can't be legally counted without signature verification. So, if you're not verifying their signatures, you oughtn't be including them in the vote counts. Adding to the vote counts is the definition of fraud.

My vote means that my share of decision-making is 1 / P. Not 1 / ( P + f ).

You are not delivering what I'm actually entitled to if you can't do more than 1 / ( P + f ). Now, some f is probably inevitable, but the lack of following through guarantess a larger f.

308 "So, they redid the election, right?
Right?!"

THAT is what the famous(illegally taped) phone call from Trump was about...his team was explaining that BY LAW a "finding" that 11,800 votes were "questionable/unverifiable" triggered the status of a "Failed election" and there was already a statewide runoff scheduled that could be used to replace it. OR, a failed presidential election could be sent to the Statehouse where electors would be chosen by the Legislature.(and they had a raft of alternate electors already in place...as the LAW required)

Jon Stewart Defrauded New York By Severely Undervaluing Home, Depriving New York of the Property Taxes It Deserved

He screams a lot about Mar-a-Lago having a low estimated taxable value in Florida, but being represented as being worth a lot more than that in loan applications.

And yet Jon Stewart did the exact same thing -- and defrauded New York in exactly the same way Trump allegedly did.

He's not just terminally unfunny, he's also a scumbag ignorant idiot.

Jon Stewart benefited by 829% 'overvalue' of his NYC home even as he labels Trump's civil case 'not victimless'

By Social Links for Mary K. Jacob


Comedian Jon Stewart ranted this week that Donald Trump's civil real-estate case overvaluing his properties was "not victimless," yet when it came to his own home, Stewart benefited from a similar inflation.

On Monday night, Stewart, 61, unpacked Trump's $454 million appeal bond, calling out experts framing the former president's New York civil case as not causing direct harm to any individual.

"The Daily Show" host rolled a clip of CNN's Laura Coates interviewing "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary, who commented that the ruling didn't "go over well" with the real estate industry that was now fretting over the possibility of becoming the next target.

Coates responds to O'Leary by highlighting that Trump was found liable for falsifying business records in the second degree, issuing false financial statements, insurance fraud and conspiracy, all due to asset inflation.

"Everything that you just listed off is done by every real estate developer everywhere on Earth in every city. This has never been prosecuted," O'Leary replied.

In response, Stewart asked: "How is he not this mad about overvaluations in the real world?"

"Because they are not victimless crimes," he said.


To further his point, Stewart argued that "money isn't infinite. A loan that goes to the liar doesn't go to someone who's giving a more honest evaluation. So the system becomes incentivized for corruption."

Stewart also contended that failing to declare a higher market value on a property, while paying taxes based on a lower assessed value, constitutes fraudulent behavior.

"The attorney general of New York knew that Trump's property values were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties," Stewart added. "It was all part of a very specific real estate practice known as lying."

But it didn't take long for internet sleuths to look into Stewart's own property history, which shows his New York City penthouse sold for 829% more than its assessed value, records confirmed by The Post reveal.
...

But according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market-value at only $1.882 million.

The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174.

Records also show that Stewart paid significantly lower property taxes, which were calculated based on that assessor valuation price -- precisely what he called Trump out for doing in his Monday monologue.


Because Jon Stewart is an unfunny old liberal high school girl, he reacted the way all aging liberal high school girls do on the internet, with extremely grating and shrieky sarcasm all sporting a shrill exclamation point.


@jonstewart

OMG!! I've been caught doing something not remotely similar to Trump! I guess all I need to do now is start a fraud college, steal classified docs, bankrupt casinos, pay hush money, grab pussies, discriminate in housing, cheat at golf and foment insurrection and you'll revere me!

So many exclamation points.

You want a vespa and a messenger bag to go with all of those exclamation points?

6 The assessed value is basically never considered the market value, so much so that jurisdictions with which I am familiar will have both values - one "assessed value," and another "estimated market value" publicly available in tax records. It's just so goodamned stupid to not understand that these are terms of art and not literal valuations.

12 Jon Stewart's schtick was old before he was.

He would "go after both sides" but the way he went after the right was always vicious and accused them of being terrible human beings but when he went after the left, it was with an air of "come on, you're better than this!"

When he made fun of a Republican for saying something stupid, he demolished that strawman as though it were the actual best argument Republicans could come up with. When Democrats said something stupid, he would supply the stronger version of the argument the Democrat should have been making.

Posted by: JT at March 28, 2024 03:02 PM (T4tVD)

38 Sorry guys, but this dunk on this Jon Stewart twat is based on a misunderstanding of how NYC calculates tax values for properties.

The "assessed value" of a property is not the value of the property if sold on the open market. AV is a set percentage of "market value" based on certain objective criteria like tax class. It will always be much lower than the actual market value.

Even the "market value" part of the AV calculation isn't an actual market value in the sense of what the property is actually worth. It's a value assigned to the property by NYC dept of finance. The property owner has no role in this determination, although the owner can petition to lower it if he thinks it's out of whack with comparable properties.

Your Assessed Value is based on a percentage of your Market Value. This percentage is known as the Level of Assessment or Assessment Ratio. Your Assessment Ratio depends on your tax class.

I loathe Jon Stewart as much as the next guy. But the apparent low-balling of his property has nothing to do with any actions or decisions by him. It's a function of the odd way NYC calculates real estate taxes.

No. When it comes time to pay taxes, you pay according to the assessor's, well, assessment of the value of the property and then pay taxes at the legally prescribed rate based on that assessment. You don't estimate your property's value when you pay taxes. The exception is if you think the assessor got it wrong and assessed your property at over market value - then you can contest the assessment.

But either way, you pay on the assessment.

69 But according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market-value at only $1.882 million.

The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174.

++++
Which, unless he bribed the assessor, isn't Stewart's fault. Nobody on earth is going to ring the assessor and say, "hey, I think you assessed the basis of my annual liability way too low." That's on the assessor, unless there was something else going on.

I will assure you that Stewart's lenders - just like Trump's lenders - did their own assessment before writing a loan. If there was no loan (he paid cash), you can be sure he had a formal appraisal done or at least figured that the price wasn't too far out of bounds. Ditto for whoever bought the property.

All of which underscores just how ludicrous this persecution of Trump is.

76 Tax assessed value is seperate from market value.

I was quite familer with the values in this one subdivision. Initial sale price was $20/lot, $25k for corner lots. These were 1 acre lots.
In the Clinton years the bottom fell out and they were going $3k/lot.
Then things got much better and they were asking up to $50k/lot.

...then it got much much worse... half the subdivision was over run with lava. This was Leilani Estates in Hawaii, where the valcano erupted and covered a good part of that east side of the island.

When the flow stopped a relative who lived upload of the eruption managed to sell for what he bought in at when the low was $3k/lot. And his land was unaffected by lava or gas.

You can imagine the fluctuation and appeals on tax assessed values.

Or at least worthy of a big fine! I've been involved representing clients in maybe fifty NYC real estate appraisals/financings. This is how it goes:

1. Owner wants to borrow money.
2. Bank wants to lend owner money.
3. Owner has real estate as collateral. Pulls value from ass.
4. Bank works out approximate amount of loan with only tangential regard to value of collateral.
5. Owner agrees to term sheet with that loan amount.
6. Only then does the property get appraised by bank.
7. Lo and behold, the bank's appraiser appraises the property at just the right amount to justify the loan!

It's a game played by both sides that only gets tested in the tiny fraction of cases where the property is seized and sold to pay the loan.

Yup, but the game is played by all players. The seller asks for a certain price for a property. The borrower asks to borrow money based on his assessment of the property's value. The bank offers to lend money based on its assessment of the property's value. If they all agree on value and terms, the transaction happens. None of it has anything to do with taxes, at least not property taxes. The county's assessor determines *his* value of the property for tax purposes, and the owner can contest it if desired.

This entire case has been utterly preposterous. The bank agreed with Trump's assessment of the property's value. If they didn't, the loan would never have been written.

130 69 But according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market-value at only $1.882 million.

The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174.
++++
Which, unless he bribed the assessor, isn't Stewart's fault. Nobody on earth is going to ring the assessor and say, "hey, I think you assessed the basis of my annual liability way too low." That's on the assessor, unless there was something else going on.

I will assure you that Stewart's lenders - just like Trump's lenders - did their own assessment before writing a loan. If there was no loan (he paid cash), you can be sure he had a formal appraisal done or at least figured that the price wasn't too far out of bounds. Ditto for whoever bought the property.

All of which underscores just how ludicrous this persecution of Trump is.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at March 28, 2024 03:09 PM (6bTRc)

Honestly, many jurisdictions are only allowed to reassess properties a certain % each assessment period. There are caps, they can be effected by owners age, property sale during assessment period, a whole host of matters that cause a break from the assessment.

It's not even "playing the system," it's how the system works in virtually every case. It's not a dodge or a scheme, it's business as usual. Every property has up to four simultaneous values:
1. The owner's valuation
2. The buyer's (borrower's) valuation
3. The lender's valuation
4. The tax man's valuation

When a property is sold, parties 1-3 must come to an agreement. When a property is refinanced, parties 1 and 3 must come to an agreement. Party 4 is independent of the rest, but Party 1 can contest (usually unsuccessfully) Party 4's assessment in the event that Party 1 finds the assessment unreasonably high.

That's it. That's the entire system, and nobody has to "play" it. It's just the way it works every day, and has for decades if not centuries.

Last, I don't care if Trump claimed his properties were worth $6.24 x 10^23, the lender makes his OWN determination of their value. It's called "due diligence."

When I sold my previous house, I got something like $20K over asking.

Which I was thrilled with but also knew could be a completely false number if the lender disagreed. Thankfully they didn't. But until they give that number, nothin' means nothin'.

Bon Jovi's palatial estate is technically classified as a bee farm (IIRC) and thus taxed at much lower rates. So this leftwing fuckhole keeps a few bees on the property to keep this scam in effect.

Springsteen (again, IIRC) bought land that was technically a farm ages ago -- almost all of that area of NJ was farmland at one point -- but continues to classify it as a farm, even though it's a sprawling residential estate having nothing to do with farming.

Sometimes punches actually were thrown, but if all other things being equal, it was assumed nobody involved was being bullied beyond a certain level, nobody cared.

Were those things against the rules? Sure they were! But nobody cared.

So now flash forward, some jerk you told to sux your dix 30 years ago is a lawyer, and now he's going to sue your for sectional harassment.

Then made that searchable so that people could search what their property had against similar, and challenge assessment values.

We did it for a few lawyers... at the time to make it go live they told us to stop... they got word the local government would never let it happen and didn't want any problems.

When it comes to government, they have all the info they need. Anything tax related is on them, not on you.. .if you are paying too much you can appeal, but if they are not taxing you enough, it's not your problem.

303 This is so stupid. Taxes are based on assessed value. The owner has no input on either number. It's just what the value is assessed at and the taxes levied. Most of us own a property. We just pay what they make us pay.

Stewart sold his property for more than it's assessed value like everyone does. The seller doesn't determine that number either. The buyer pays what the buyer wants to pay.

What Trump did is lie about the value of his properties, greatly overstating their value and in some cases their square footage, so he could obtain favorable loans from banks.

No evidence Stewart leveraged his properties to obtain loans. No evidence he over or undervalued his properties. This is desperate.

Democrat Mega-Donor Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 Years for Swindling Billions from Customers

Prosecutors sought 50 years but Sam Bankman-Fried got the Friends and Family Discount.



Crypto entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried on Thursday was sentenced to 25 years in prison for stealing $8 billion from customers at the failed crypto exchange, FTX.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said that the FTX founder had committed "obstruction of justice," according to NBC News.

Bankman-Fried admitted during his sentencing hearing in New York that he made "selfish decisions" when running the failed crypto exchange.

"They built something really beautiful and I threw all of that away," Bankman-Fried said of his former co-workers at the exchange, according to CNBC News.

30 ‘Remorseless’ Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison — as judge rips him as power-obsessed scammer

A Manhattan judge ripped Sam Bankman-Fried as a “remorseless” scammer obsessed with political power as he sentenced the fallen crypto mogul to 25 years in prison Thursday — five months after he was found guilty of stealing more than $8 billion of funds from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

Judge Lewis Kaplan said the 32-year-old convicted fraudster “presented himself as the good guy” all in favor of “appropriate regulation of the crypto industry” — but it was just an “act.”

Inner City Press @innercitypress
Judge Kaplan: On obstruction of justice, I find that Mr. Bankman-Fried's text to the former general counsel did in fact constitute attempted witness tampering. I make 3 perjury findings based on trial testimony

Judge Kaplan: I find the Mr. Bankman-Fried gave perjured testimony at trial - he falsely testified that until the Fall of 2022 he had no knowledge that Alameda had spent FTX customer funds. He falsely testified that he first learned of the $8 billion in Oct 2022

63 Ace,
You may want to check this out...

You may have heard about it, but North Alabama had an officer shoot a male dindunuffin recently. The three cops were all fired, one of whom is under prosecution for murder. The usual asshats protested, created a scene and elevated everything so that the cops (guilty or innocent) wouldn't ever get a fair trial.

Evidently this pissed off someone, and the body cam footage was released. I need to watch it again, but the dindu exited his house, with a pistol drawn, pistol flashlight illuminated, and under the very bright light of one of the officers, showing the other two officers that he was armed and engaging them all three.

Watch the video....https://is.gd/otsLc0

Speaking of MONEY

Stephen Colbert, host of CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," will moderate an "armchair conversation" with Biden, Obama and Clinton at the high-dollar event at Radio City Music Hall in New York, according to the campaign.

Actress Mindy Kaling, who starred in the television shows "The Office" and "The Mindy Project," is set to host the program. The evening will feature musical guests Lizzo, Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele.

The fundraiser is expected to be the most lucrative to date for Biden's reelection campaign, which has significantly outraised former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

The event is expected to raise at least $10 million and draw at least 3,000 people, Chris Korge, a veteran Democratic fundraiser and finance chair of the Biden Victory Fund, told NBC News. A photograph with all three presidents costs $100,000 and up, NBC reported, but the tickets to attend the program go for as little as $250 each.

I'm convinced the whole thing was one yuge money-laundering operation and nobody actually lost any of their own money.

Unlike with Madoff, who actually did lose real people's real money. Although those people probably deserved to lose too. They were already very rich and invested with Madoff primarily to show off. "I'm invested with Bernie Madoff, are you?" Madoff's investment strategy was pure bullshit and anyone who actually thought it was a real thing deserved to lose their money.

1) it's all frauds and scams
2) a lot of it is like the tulip mania
3) there's serious money involved
4) some of the projects are real and will be huge
5) the idea that governments will control the space via a CBDC is not possible (although someone who likely knows tells me the feds know who in real life is moving what crypto)
6) Blackrock is moving huge volumes of BitCoin; they're moving into the RWA (real world assets) tokens next

It always struck me as incredibly naive, that there were people talking about this stuff, as if the people who control the money right now were going to just let them come up with their own currency, and their own way to accumulate and manage wealth.

So either he actually was in love with her for some reason (I doubt it), or she had other benefits - benefits like being homely and making up for that by being a straight freak, being willing to put up with (or even enthusiastic about) extremely skeevy drug orgies and the like, knowing where the bodies are buried and being a partner and confidant, etc.

Way back when, the circle of "friends" I belonged to, there was a gal who was part of the group, she looked strikingly similar to Bill Fagerbakke. Don't recognize the name? He was Tom Cullen in The Stand, was in Coach, and most famously the voice of Patrick Star.

Not good looking, in other words. Guys were willing to hook up with her though... because she seemed to have no self-esteem. You'd be at a party/event, and someone would emerge from the shadows, and she'd come out not long after, with a sheepish look on her fugly mug.

If it must be said... I never did. Would have never even considered it.

Chief Democrat Witness Against Trump in Phony Ukranian Phone Call Impeachment Registers as a Foreign Agent for, Get This, Ukraine

Whoa! I did not see this coming.


On Thursday, one of the star witnesses in the first failed impeachment of President Donald Trump registered as a foreign agent on behalf of Ukraine and the European Union (EU).


According to the Daily Caller, Gordon Sondland, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to the EU from 2018 to 2020, testified against President Trump in the 2019 impeachment inry. In his testimony before the House of Representatives Select Committee on Intelligence, he claimed with no evidence that President Trump intended to withhold aid to Ukraine unless it re-opened a corruption investigation into the controversial energy company Burisma Holdings, where Joe Biden's son Hunter served on the board.


...

Sondland registered as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), a law first passed in 1938 dictating how foreign agents and representatives are supposed to lobby American politicians compared to non-foreign lobbyists.

In a statement shortly after his registration was revealed, Sondland tried to justify his decision while also insisting that he did not have any foreign loyalties.

"This term 'Foreign Agent.' It sounds very sinister because that's the way the FARA laws are written," said Sondland. "You're designated as a foreign agent. I'm not an agent of anyone. I haven't been asked by Ukraine or the E.U. to represent them. I'm simply having conversations that everyone has all the time with members of Congress and with members of governments of other countries to try and bridge and divide."

"My allegiance is still 100% to the United States, not to the European Union," Sondland claimed. "Unfortunately, I can't have these conversations without registering."

I'm not a foreign agent, I just have to register as a foreign agent so I can lobby US policymakers on behalf of a foreign country.

I like his subtle implication that although he registered as a foreign agent of Ukraine, he isn't *really* working for Ukraine, but rather the EU.

77 Operatives on the left know they can do anything, say anything, bomb anyone, lie in court, fail at their job, betray family and country --- and always land on their feet.
Someone - a billionaire, foreign country, TV network, nonprofit - will give them a high-paying job when they retire, get fired, end their term or get released from prison.

They will so anything for the cause because they know there will be no negative consequences and, indeed, great rewards.

78 "he claimed with no evidence that President Trump intended to withhold aid to Ukraine unless it re-opened a corruption investigation into the controversial energy company Burisma Holdings, where Joe Biden's son Hunter served on the board."

IIRC, Biden openly bragged about threatening to withhold aid to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor who was looking into Burisma.

87 ‘Remorseless’ Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison — as judge rips him as power-obsessed scammer

A Manhattan judge ripped Sam Bankman-Fried as a “remorseless” scammer obsessed with political power as he sentenced the fallen crypto mogul to 25 years in prison Thursday — five months after he was found guilty of stealing more than $8 billion of funds from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

Judge Lewis Kaplan said the 32-year-old convicted fraudster “presented himself as the good guy” all in favor of “appropriate regulation of the crypto industry” — but it was just an “act.”

I use the "Pelosi Rule."

What would she have done by now? Probably been able to impeach the president, have it stick and then gone after every member of his cabinet and staff.

By now, Pelosi would likely be in the White House. Had the roles been reversed. Thankfully that's not the case.

But she's ruthless enough to have done it. And had the backing of her ideologically aligned party. Which Republicans don't have.

157 Cincinnati's Third National Bank (nee Bank of the Ohio Valley) bought the Fifth National Bank but the executives worried that the "Third-Fifth Bank" would make people associate the bank with a bunch of drunks (the temperance movement was a thing) who pounded down several fifths of booze at work. So they inverted it and made one of the dumbest names in corporate history.

OT: Please keep my sis in your prayers. A couple of weeks ago, her dog pulled her while he was on a leash and she landed on her elbow. While the doctors that looked at it thought it was only a cracked ulna that was dislocated, and "put it back in place", it turned out they were wrong; an x-ray the other day (which I was sent a copy...WTF moment) showed the end of the ulna where it attaches to the humerus actually broke off, and is free-floating. So surgery is in her near future.

Yes. The church that gave our scout troop the bum's rush in 2012 because "not gay" was a former Second Baptist Church.

Packed to the gills with hypocrites, that place was, and some truly loathesome and backstabbing individuals were among its members.

229 TheRighting found that the vast majority of right wing news websites it monitored experienced significant audience erosion. Eighty-six percent experienced declines of 44% or more.

Ace of Spades HQ isn't listed! They're gatekeeping their audience! Since Feb 2020, they list these as the major losers of traffic: Twitchy (-93%), The Federalist (-91%), Washington Times (-89%), Western Journal (-84%) and the Drudge Report (-81%) compared to lesser Lefty losses Daily Kos (-4%), Slate (-42%), and The Daily Beast (-45%).

The majority of right-wing viewers were always one foot in the grave anyway. I can't wait for the day when all the old racists from the Jim Crow era finally become extinct.

I regularly cruise the Freepers to see what's going on in their small minds. Postings seem to have dropped a lot, very few championing tRump

Stats might be misleading. Reich wing audiences are volatile now; many say Fox is too liberal. They shift around a lot. They are deep into "dems gonna steal it" funks. But surprisingly there are quite a number of anti-tRump posts. Even posts highlighting tRump's criminality.

Basically the oligarch created a new ad service and offered Drudge a sweet deal to switch with the requirement that he hand over editorial control to the oligarch. And he did.

As Squatting Epidemic Turns Lethal in Blue Jurisdictions, DeSantis Signs a Bill Ending All "Squatters Rights" in Florida, Period

The Bee:

desantistooaccomplished.jpg


The left is denying that squatting -- drug-abusing unemployed no-accounts moving themselves into your house, and then calling the cops on you when you attempt to remove them -- is no big deal at all.

Judd Legum
@JuddLegum

10. And the squatting hysteria is a distraction from the actual housing crisis, which a lack of affordable homes.

These people are drug-addicted layabouts. They have no income, except what they get from stealing law-abiding citizens' property.

When you say there's a "lack of afforable homes," of course you mean a lack of free homes.

There are a lot of cheap digs. These people do not want to work. They want to steal entire homes from people who do work.

John Stossell reports that this epidemic was caused by blue cities passing "tenant protection" laws that forbade property owners from evicting them even if they failed to pay rent for years and years. This law also empowered squatters to just break into homes and declare that they, too, were non-rent-paying tenants with a right to permanently occupy other people's homes.

The situation is so bad in California that vigilante squatter-eviction squads have formed to kick the squatters out. Technically these people are breaking the law, because California law says the squatters are the rightful occupants of the homes they squat in.

Hey Keith Ellison -- maybe we should go after the real criminals, the actual owners of the homes who make their homes too tempting not to steal.

Oh yeah -- that's exactly what blue cities are doing already.

Squatters were occupying a NYC apartment. The actual owner came to the apartment to clean it up.

The squatters beat her to death.

Recently, Nadia Vitel, a 52-year-old woman from Spain, traveled to NYC to clean out her late mother's apartment. She found squatters in her mother's home and they beat Vitel to death.


Remember, this is just "hysteria."

Ron DeSantis, who you might have noticed is one hell of a problem-solver ("More of a problem-eliminator," as James Bond said), decided that the squatter outbreaks of LA and NYC would not be coming to Florida.

He just ended "squatter's rights" in the state of Florida.


NewsWire
@NewsWire_US

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs bill eliminating squatters' rights in the state

In this video, DeSantis says that illegal aliens are posting videos telling other criminals how to steal someone's property and legally take it over.

Once again, he's not lying. The same Illegal Alien Influencer who said he had not snuck across the border to work, but to go on a permanent vacation -- on the backs of US taxpayers paying welfare for his infant anchor-baby daughter, who he called his "gold mine" -- is now advising illegal aliens in how to execute legal home invasions.

Although this filthy freeloading criminal is now officially an "absconder" from INS, no one is trying to arrest him and deport him:

Moreno was waved into the United States, given papers and a place to stay, provided food stamps and a monthly stipend, and begged on the street, making $1000/day. At least that is what he claims.

...

He is listed as an "absconder," but despite posting videos that show exactly where he is, nobody is interested in finding and deporting him. Instead, he is allowed to give instructions to migrants on how to steal homes from Americans.

Christopher F. Rufo
@realchrisrufo

It's worth stating the obvious: Conservatives identified a legitimate problem--squatters depriving homeowners of their fundamental right to property--and DeSantis immediately solved it. No fanfare, no bloviating, no fundraising emails. Just: "Problem solved. Next up."

Actually Ace, many do have income: income they get from "tenants" they turn around and rent spaces in the squatted home to. You'll be shocked to learn these "tenants" are often drug dealers and prostitutes. You can see some of them in the videos. Tell me those girls aren't prostitutes.

Which is so astounding that it cannot be considered an "oversight."

A tenant has a lease or some kind of agreement. It may be in breach, but it is - or was - there at some point. Not demanding some kind of agreement as evidence was so stupid it had to have been on purpose.

The "legal" ones counter-squat. An armed burly man with a lease from the owner, watches and waits for the squatters to leave for any reason and then breaks in and squats the house himself.

According to the previous post, there are 51.4M foreigners in the US and 25% of those are illegal... cuz we're determined to hew as close as possible to that "only 10M illegals" lie they've been telling us since the 80s.

58 We lack affordable homes because Democrats freed tens of thousands of criminals from their rightful homes in prison, and then started paying their rent. That worked so well they did it with 10 million illegals.

Democrats also built affordable homes at the cost of millions a piece, which shows they don't care about providing homes, they just care about embezzling money.

Yes. This. The problem isn't so much squatters rights -- although that is a problem -- but tenant rights.

What happens even in most squatting situations is that the squatters fake up a lease and claim they had a deal with the prior owner or whoever. When the cops show up, the squatters show the cops the lease. It then becomes a housing court issue. You can take away all the "squatters rights" laws in the world, but you'll still have the situation of scammers showing fake leases.

And it's very easy to fake a lease. Most residential leases are basically forms anyway. Just download a for and plug in your name. Done.

And then the courts will challenge that it is actually your signature.

This will lead to, for example, a demonstrable policy of having all lease agreements notarized. Add yet more "compliance costs" to everything.

And even the Hawaiian judge will probably say, "how do we know you didn't just choose to ignore the notarization policy this time?"

80 Squatters "rights" or adverse possession was a useful process at one time, but that's long, long past. It goes back to Roman times and was mostly associated with farming and food production. Due to various diseases and wars, many farms sat vacant due to the occupants perishing from disease or violence. In order to keep the farms in operation, they allowed individuals to step in and get the farm up and running again.

Of course it has since been given all kinds of legal "justifications" and protections as well as new names (adverse possession)...and taken on a whole different purpose (laziness).

In that time it went from being a purple state to a one-party state where the Dems in charge are more left wing crazy than you can imagine.

BUT- if someone steals a car, they will chase the thief to the ends of the earth, endanger the lives of a multitude of innocent bystanders, wreck and destroy the stolen vehicle and possibly kill the thief.

I bet if they were allowed to SWAT all squatters and destroy your house, they would be all-in on squatter removal then.

One I knew told me he was there because a tenant had punched him out and the court wouldn't let him evict him. That is just one of many sad stories I could tell. The worst are the ones where a compassionate landlord rents to someone in need and then that person totally f's them.

The attitude of the Portland authorities is that any dispute between squatters and property owners is a civil commercial dispute, and getting rid of the squatters is your problem.

That has been tried, and for a while LL posted executed leases on public real estate dockets like ACRIS. But it was viewed as a pain in the ass, had no real legal significance, and both LL and tenants didn't really want the terms and identities of the leases open to the public. So I don't think anyone does that any more. But the idea of a requirement that actual enforceable leases get recorded somewhere isn't a bad one -- although it's yet more government involvement in private transactions.

140 My favorite response to squatters is the Simpsons tricking the carnies.

Second is the guy who transferred title to his mother, signed a lease with her, waited until the squatters left, busted in, threw their shit on the lawn and waited for the cops.

He then produced the filed deed showing the owner and an original of a signed lease saying he was the legal tenant.
At that point, the cops can arrest the squatters for trespassing.
Cheaper and faster than eviction.

This is almost certainly not true, but bluntly, it should be.

He is a colonist who broke our border, violated our laws and stole property from our citizens - then went on to advertise how to do the same to yet more would-be colonists who want to repeat the process.

If his family is in danger - which it isn't, but again, should be - he has only himself to blame for it.

145 "In Virginia, a squatter can make an adverse possession claim if they have had continuous possession of the building or land for 15 years. This means that the squatter cannot leave the property for any amount of time. If they do, they can lose their right to file an adverse possession claim."

In MO, it's only 10 years before a squatter can make an adverse possession claim. They also have to have treated the property as if the owner would--and provide evidence that this is the case.

Removing a squatter is still pretty difficult.

There are provisions to take over abandoned property. Steve Lehto described a case where a person squatted in a home, maintained it, and finally claimed it as his own. However, he had to prove he was there for ten years, and kept it up.

Slightly different than these animals squatting.

It's from the common law, and squatting CAN make some sense.

If there's a property not being used and you turn it to productive use, I can see society wanting to reward that- the person who USES the property gets ownership. The premise is to avoid people locking up properties and never using them.

And, once the billionaires buy up all the property in the U.S. and herd people into the "15 minute cities", we might want that law back, too. (But they'll have long since ended it, anyway.)

Posted by: Orson at March 28, 2024 12:24 PM (dIske)

163 Yes. This. The problem isn't so much squatters rights -- although that is a problem -- but tenant rights.

What happens even in most squatting situations is that the squatters fake up a lease and claim they had a deal with the prior owner or whoever. When the cops show up, the squatters show the cops the lease. It then becomes a housing court issue. You can take away all the "squatters rights" laws in the world, but you'll still have the situation of scammers showing fake leases.

And it's very easy to fake a lease. Most residential leases are basically forms anyway. Just download a for and plug in your name. Done.

_______

Squatter and "adverse possession" laws once made sense. They originated 100s of years ago when a lot of land was available and some was deeded to someone who abandoned it, moved away or died, leaving the land technically owned but not being used. Someone else coming on the land and actually using it eventually become the owner. But even then, the period required was like 20 years. Not this 30-day shit.

Yes, but there are a non-trivial number of empty properties that are listed because the owner had to move for work or whatever.

And they aren't that hard to find. Just go to Zillow and look around. The ones where interiors are empty or "virtually staged" are unoccupied. Look for the ones on the market for three months or longer, not under contract, few or zero price cuts. That's your target. It's trivial.

But I do have to move. I think it is at the point where having great neighbors and being in a county that has been more constitution oriented than the rest of the state is just not enough.

The genuine ones got sidelined and pushed out.

The fakers climbed into leadership and abandoned their principles while saying the right things during election season.

However, the change is slowly happening (the ejection of McCarthy is a sign of that), mostly because the GOPe keeps shooting itself in the foot. How do you retain power within the party if you get 40 of your most loyal footsoldiers in Congress to resign in 2018?

Essentially, Congress is still fucked, but slightly less fucked than before. It'd be better to expect DC just got removed from our reality by interdimensional beings than for Congress to start being remotely conservative, though.

208 There is a case going on right now where the buyer hired a guy to squat in the residence they wanted to buy to lower the price of the seller. They paid the squatter and got $690k off the home as a result. However, the buyer found out about the arrangement and there is a suit pending on that. There are, also, criminal charges of some nature as well.

245 Squatter and "adverse possession" laws once made sense. They originated 100s of years ago when a lot of land was available and some was deeded to someone who abandoned it, moved away or died, leaving the land technically owned but not being used. Someone else coming on the land and actually using it eventually become the owner. But even then, the period required was like 20 years. Not this 30-day shit.

289 There was a funny case a few years ago in Berkeley.

Berkeley, of course, has the country's most draconian rent control and tenant laws - it is routine to have to pay tenants five figures to get them to move out.

However, you have a lot of professors leaving town or coming into town for a year or two for a visiting professorship or whatever, so there is a nationwide network for house rentals and swaps for academics who need a place for a year or two.

So, a left-wing Berkeley academic rented out her house for a year to a left-wing visiting academic, who promptly decided that he was going to stay in Berkeley, and was just going to stay in the house indefinitely.

Not much the left-wing Berkeley academic could do about that. I'm not sure how that was resolved, but I bet it involved the payment of a substantial amount of money.

Washington, which always like to top CA in idiocy institued rules that a landlord can't evict a tenant during winter. It will shock you to learn that many tenants simply stop paying rent in November. And by the time the landlord can even start evictions in April, they will have lived for free for 1/2 a year. And then it takes several more months for the eviction to actually happen.

And even more shockingly after this was implemented a bunch of landlords said fuck this and took their homes out of the rental pool. Which drove up rents and hurt the honest tenants who pay their rent on time.

Who could have POSSIBLY foreseen any of these unintended consequences?

I have never understood how anyone can say someone that actually owns a property can't kick you out. The dynamic should be the tenant has to prove why they can stay, not the other way around. The NY case was sickening. I have heard of blue state people going through similar bullshit. To the point where they either pay them a ransom to leave (because it's cheaper than lawyers) or they hire goons to rough them up.

Would not want to own rentals anymore. These little shits these days know how to work the legal system and get off on making their landlord miserable.

Posted by: Blago at March 28, 2024 12:47 PM (wMRY8)

321 @84 I never will understand how on earth anybody can acquire somebody else's property by law just by taking it over as circumstances dictate per state.

--------

It makes sense in certain circumstances. For instance, if I squat in an empty home, and after ten years the owner has never had anyone check on the status of the property, there's an argument to be made that the home has been abandoned, and the title owner might not even be aware that he or she ever had a claim to the property. By squatting, I put an otherwise "wasted" property back into use. That's just one example. There are others.

Squatting in such circumstances was recognized under English Common Law, and each state has different laws on the subject. But up until recently, those laws required a long-term (i.e. at least a decade) unchallenged habitation. The stuff that's being pulled now is nothing like the traditional legal form of squatting.

354 I used to own a number of rental properties. No longer.

My lawyer told me many years ago that the landlord tenant code that prevails in my jurisdiction is written so as to favor deadbeat tenants and sleazy landlords.

If you are a tenant whose landlord does not complete repairs and simply could care less, you have big problems. Just as does the landlord who has tenants that know the game and could care less.

I did have a deadbeat tenant (a skilled carpenter BTW who was not broke) who simply wouldn't pay his rent for months. My assistant totally coincidentally overheard him bragging to some friends about how he knew the game is played and that he had me over a barrel.

That afternoon I had his windows boarded while he was out and the door padlocked. When he called to protest I told him tough luck, pal, take me to court. It will take months and guess what, I have more money, better lawyers, and I'm going to make your life miserable.

It took months. In the end I received some compensation in court, but was reprimanded by the magistrate, who told me, "You know better, don't do it again."

This was circa 1995. Wouldn't recommend that course of action, but I enjoyed it then.

368 Trump should address the squatters situation-- immediately. Politically, it's free money. He needs to grab it-- he should do an interview, standing next to a squatters' victim, just as he did with that murdered GA girl's parents.

God knows it's a legitimate issue, & it has the public's attention right now. Everybody who reads about squatters gets a creeping dread of them moving into their deceased parents' home.

Also, red states like MO haven't done squat about squatters (pun intended). This is a state where supposedly conservative Republicans control every gd thing there is! What are they waiting for? I HATE contacting "my elected representatives," but I think I must make an exception. I have a condo I'm hoping to leave to my kids, and I can imagine squatters in it. It's not a good feeling.

Honest question--do we not already have ways for municipalities to handle abandoned or unclaimed property?

If someone thinks a property has been abandoned, report it, and buy it at auction or whatever after the legal process.

The neighbors (mostly black folks) love these guys, because they take run down houses, fix them up, and keep the neighborhood from sliding down even worse...making their lives kind of a hell.
I don't know about them selling any houses for $160K, but they have rebuilt some houses and made a tidy profit. And they rebuilt one house and decided to make it theirs, and moved in.
They haven't found any dead bodies (yet) in any of the abandoned houses, but that is usually where dead bodies are dumped, in abandoned houses. Some of the houses were in REALLY bad shape.

416 "Squatting" was interpreted somewhat differently in the 19th century; congressman D. Crockett was a champion of what was then called "squatters' rights." A lot of land had tenuous ownership in the first US federal grants. A lot was held loosely by speculators who could not pay a tax, and were waiting for a windfall. And a lot of political connections were in play.

I hesitate to send people looking for the details, when they can get the plain language of the 14th amendment about-face wrong.

420 Honest question--do we not already have ways for municipalities to handle abandoned or unclaimed property?

If someone thinks a property has been abandoned, report it, and buy it at auction or whatever after the legal process.

No one should attempt to obtain real property for free merely by staking it out for however long.

If you are fastidious, you don't have to shoot and shovel. Have your bully boys break into the squatted house, subdue the occupants, tie them up, and load them into the back of a box truck. Take all their ID and all their cash. Drive a couple hundred miles to nearest Blue Shithole city, and dump them out in the midst of a bum encampment. Have stolen plates on the box truck for that phase of the op.

Meanwhile, have "legit" tenants move into the house, with a duly-signed lease, who will swear up and down that they have lived there for months, and as landlord, you back them up. Lease and all.

DeSantis used Cruz reruns for some key positions. It would have been a hard slog anyway because of Trump's name recognition but it was made harder by what the Dems did to Trump. +

Left DeSantis with a list of bad choices such as denouncing what the Dems did vociferously which would aid Trump more than DeSantis, saying nothing and getting lambasted for not standing up to the Dems, or embracing the ridiculous Never Trumper DC Uniparty lawfare and claiming Trump deserved it.

Big Donors made things worse as technically there is no coordination between the no limits on contributions to a SuperPac and the candidate. For whatever reason, the DeSantis campaign never successfully cultivated small donors until it was too late. I would guess that even big supporters here for DeSantis never sent much if anything as far as contributions. Trump however has been shameless in courting funds in whatever way possible like his recent hawking of Bibles.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

Let's pretend that these data are passingly accurate, even though we all know that the number of illegals is far higher than any census measures.

It is still a catastrophe, and will be the end of America as we know it if it continues.

Of course I am a racist. And a bigot. And a White Supremacist. And a Christian Nationalist. And any other silly pejorative that the left uses to describe people who have emotional connections to American Exceptionalism, Western culture, and the incredible success of Judeo-Christian philosophy.

Now that we have gotten the obligatory ad hominem out of the way...

Border Crisis Has Completely Upended Census Bureau's Population Stats, Report Says

Immigration into the U.S. has risen so rapidly that it beat out federal projections by decades, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released on Thursday.

The total number of immigrants in the U.S. rose to a record high of 51.4 million as of February 2024, representing 15.5% of the total population,according to CIS. The U.S. Census Bureau published projections in November which estimated that the share of foreign-born nationals in the U.S. would not reach 15.5% until at least 2039, making the projections “obsolete,” CIS authors Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler wrote.

The 15.5% includes both immigrants who are in the U.S. legally and those who are undocumented or are in the country illegally, according to a CIS review of the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS). Illegal migrants account for roughly 25% of the 51.4 million total number of foreign nationals currently living in the U.S., the other 75% being in the country legally.


The issue is not the color of the immigrants. The issue is their lack of dedication to the founding principles of our country. For most of our history, immigration to America was a privilege, and a very difficult one to enjoy. Getting out of Sweden or Germany or Italy or Russia or Poland or Ireland or Scotland was not easy. Getting to our shores was not easy. Creating a life in America was not easy. But it was the great unifier...everyone who came here was sent through that filter, knowing that they were expected to create a life for themselves, and to add value to the growing nation. There were no handouts, not safety nets, no government largesse. But that was the first powerful message that we were all in it together. The upside was that there were no limitations. The young Scottish immigrant who arrived on our shores in 1848 could rise to the pinnacle of the American steel industry. Or a Bavarian Jew arriving in in 1847 could create Levi Strauss. Or a Viennese beauty, with brains to match, could arrive in 1937 and become a movie star and an inventor!

The list goes on forever. We are at least in part a nation of immigrants, but the dynamic has changed, and the drive to come here is purely economic and self-serving in a way that is new and destructive. Instead of desiring the economic, social and political freedom that America offers, our new immigrants come for the money...our money! Legal immigration is a drop in the bucket compared to the flood of illegals pouring into the country. Those legal immigrants are playing by the rules, but many are still arriving for the looting of our treasuries rather than the desire to create...to belong...to build.

What is the answer? Obviously we must close our borders to the lawbreakers who come to loot and pillage. But sadly we must also close the legal methods of becoming an American. That system is broken, and absent a compelling reason, complete with financial resources that guarantee that the immigrant is not a ward of the state, Americas gates must be shut.

For a generation? Probably. Until we have two consecutive conservative federal governments that are serious about closing the border and driving out the invaders by making it economically impossible for them to squat here, we cannot afford the luxury of immigration of any type.

It is a simple task, but requires political fortitude and the support of the country.

1. Close the border.
2. Make the employment of an illegal alien a felony, with jail time and huge fines.
3. Tax outgoing funds to the top 10 countries that supply illegals.
4. Require positive identification for all taxpayer transfer payments and services.

What else? That covers most of the issues. Will there be problems? Sure. But we have no choice.

This is the existential problem of our lifetimes.

When we resurrect the Constitution, I think we should add what I call a "no-public-dole" amendment.

Also, a court-ordered judgment if it is found liable in a lawsuit. AND THAT'S IT.

Muslims will stay and try and take over using the US Constitution to subvert the US Constitution, because it is written into their belief system (politics of murder and mayhem masquerading as a religion).

Bringing the muslims in wholesale as the Dems are currently will get to that 15% soon.

42 The issue is not the color of the immigrants.

People feel obligated to say this kind of thing, but I'm not sure it's true or should be in some aspirational sense. If every brown foreigner who came here was throughly indoctrinated in "democracy, whiskey, sexy" or whatever, it would be better, no doubt. But on what basis, for what reason, is a predominantly white country obligated to make itself browner? Why isn't the simple desire to maintain one's nation as is enough? No England for the English, for example? Colorblindness? We all know no one believes in that anymore, particularly the primary ostensible beneficiaries of that belief system. I think we've already lost, in part because conservatives love their platitudes more than their way of life. "Color means nothing!" declare Americans who have already let in an avalanche of people who believe otherwise. TL;DR: You may not be interested in tribalism, but tribalism is interested in you; middle and upper class whites are the only ones who think otherwise. It's the racial equivalent of unilateral nuclear disarmament.

And people is power, and that power is going to be used for nefarious ends.

51 The issue is not the color of the immigrants.

People feel obligated to say this kind of thing, but I'm not sure it's true or should be in some aspirational sense. If every brown foreigner who came here was throughly indoctrinated in "democracy, whiskey, sexy" or whatever, it would be better, no doubt. But on what basis, for what reason, is a predominantly white country obligated to make itself browner? Why isn't the simple desire to maintain one's nation as is enough? No England for the English, for example? Colorblindness? We all know no one believes in that anymore, particularly the primary ostensible beneficiaries of that belief system. I think we've already lost, in part because conservatives love their platitudes more than their way of life. "Color means nothing!" declare Americans who have already let in an avalanche of people who believe otherwise. TL;DR: You may not be interested in tribalism, but tribalism is interested in you; middle and upper class whites are the only ones who think otherwise. It's the racial equivalent of unilateral nuclear disarmament.

It's like Hazelton PA, in less than 15 years, it went from 5pct hispanic to, Checks Census.Gov, to 62 pct hispanic, the vast majority of them are certainly here illegally, looking at the composition of the local government, it's still all gringos, but that may last maybe a couple more years and then the composition of the local community will be reflected in the government.

I think laws that force assimilation and submission to what was once American culture would be more useful but that also requires much more optimism that I probably have anymore.

Instead of a party run by chiseling, lazy mercantilists, grifting from the government, conservative only as to taxes on them.

Consider what the state of immigration would be if they ran actual outreach efforts to Hispanics--in Spanish--not just exposing the moral evil that the Democrats are, but real conservative positions.
The border will be sealed tight when, and only when, Hispanics start voting for Republicans.

Trump is reaching them. And they hate him for it.
Because the only thing these corporitist frauds hate more than taxes on them is people who make less than $100k.

88 1. Close the border.
2. Make the employment of an illegal alien a felony, with jail time and huge fines.
3. Tax outgoing funds to the top 10 countries that supply illegals.
4. Require positive identification for all taxpayer transfer payments and services.

++++
I'd modify point 3, and expand it.

Tax remittances, but do so to *all* countries in our hemisphere except Canada - the *one* country that is not (yet) a conduit for or source of illegal aliens. Collective punishment. The entire region can get its shit together and knock it off, or the entire region will be punished for it. Make them turn on each other. Chile and Argentina are not big sources of the problem, but if the spigots get cut off, they're sure going to get pissed at - and apply pressure to - Guatemala and Venezuela and Mexico.

And make that tax punitive, say 75% of all sums under $100,000. Business transfers - which will tend to be big - can proceed. Some cartel transfers will slip through, too. But overall, the final end-recipient value of remittances will collapse under a punitive tax rate. So make it punitive, and apply to *everyone* in the hemisphere until the behavior changes.

EMTALA also needs to repealed to help take some pressure off the medical system (it's secondary in grand scheme of things, but still important) but cutting illegals off from "free" ER care would go a long damn way.

So since the 1990's the powers-that-be have basically been in the process of delegitimzing anything and everything that isn't properly reflective of our new third-world cultural superiors.

Ok, I'll be the one to say it: it's the same fucking thing. It is the issue of the color of skin. Not in a racist way but in a reality way. The most troublesome immigrants -- legal and illegal -- are from countries with histories and values completely alien to ours. And those countries are overwhelmingly home to swarthy people.

And it's not just the poor Hispanics or blacks. It's the affluent tech (dot) Indians. It's the Muslim Africans coming to study here. Literally every darker-skinned immigrant is a problem, regardless of their skills or income level. They are coming from completely alien political and economic systems, and are bringing that dysfunctional (mosty commie) shit here.

200 my own personal rant today involves a coworker native to the state, let alone the country. I think his parents and maybe even grandparents were native to the state. He is being an arrogant ass about some code he wrote. The code worked beautifully for 2 sets of data but something is not right on the 3rd dataset and he is refusing to even acknowledge the problem. Once the clue bat finally connects his brain he can probably fix whatever is the issue; he is pretty smart but I hate when he gets all autistic and refuses to look at plots and see that there is an issue.

205 Good morning! Or afternoon to some of you. I have to believe that Biden is so gone he has no idea this is happening. Someone as racist as he is would not be super excited about this, just not for the same reasons we are not excited about this.

For me, I am very much pro immigration - when done legally. I am a first generation American on my mother’s side. I don’t care about the color or the persons skin, which I get is now in and of itself racist for some dumb reason. I care the person wants to come and build a life, do something worthwhile, believes in American exceptionalism in their heart. I honestly wonder if those on the left are excited they have gotten so many in Europe to believe their garbage and hate America. So now those pouring in illegally are just not any country’s best. Gasp. Pearl clutch. Faint.

209 I think earlier waves of immigration had negative effects as well, certainly enough people thought so in the early 1920s to largely shut it down. It seems to me crime stats and the nations political development both went the wrong way as a result of the large immigration 1890--1920.

211 White House Task Force On New Americans, July 4, 2014.

Seems it took the word, immigrant, and twisted it so it's all inclusive covering both legal and illegal immigration.

(The White nationalists just hate the current immigrants, our New Americans. They don't look or act like them, nor have not had their advantages. It was OK for their families to immigrant to the USA in the past but it's not been OK for those coming afterwards, especially those who are POC. But those people are global citizens, part of civil society, and this is the United States a beacon of Democracy.)

Ask the pols to explain the difference between Temporary Protected Status; Special Student Relief for Students; Dreamer status; Statelessness and TPS; actual Refugee status numbers; actual Asylee status numbers; Humanitarian Parole & what nations have been granted it & what it does and won't provide to participants, and current benefits available to ALL above through a sundry of US programs. Ask when statuses can change, i.e., families have children born in the US, etc. They couldn't. But they know redistribution.

Next US Census will have new boxes - MENA & Latino.

60 Love this. Waugh really captured the color of an ocean storm, sky and water, and the ever shifting movement of the waves as they approach the shore and recede from the rocks. His style is realistic enough to accurately show the scene but still painterly, leaving room for the viewer's imagination. Don't know about inland folks, but as someone who grew up on a rocky coast it's easy to hear the wind and water of a storm, feel the force of the wind and the salty, moist air.

I've long thought that much of that camouflage, especially the stuff composed of large blocks, was intended to cause misidentification of a larger ship as a smaller one. On a haze gray day, it would be easy to do that for a ship at a distance.

Posted by: Lizzy at March 28, 2024

He was born a little too late to be a star of TV and movie Westerns the way Steve McQueen, James Arness, and James Garner were. On the other hand, that means he's around now (or at least was recently) to star in the few Westerns being made.

He did play John D. MacDonald's character Travis McGee in a TV-movie/pilot in the Eighties. They changed Trav's houseboat to a sailing vessel and took a lot of other liberties -- I think this was after John D. himself was gone and couldn't see what they'd done. I've never watched it. Elliot would have been good casting if they'd stuck to the original material.

FACE, MEET PALM: North Sea oil rigs threatened with shutdown unless they start running on green electricity.

Currently, more than 280 platforms extracting oil and gas from UK waters produce 3pc of the country’s total emissions, the equivalent of about 17 million tonnes of CO2 a year.

However, UK oil and gas fields also account for half of the country’s energy needs.

The Morning Report — 3/28/24

hitlerblamesharpjen.jpg

Good morning, kids. The loud, incessant geschrei following the hiring and almost-immediate firing of former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel by NBC in the grand scheme of things is not so much important as it is quite instructive. For one thing, it seems to have deflected quite a bit of the spotlight that was shining on the disaster of Baltimore's Key Bridge destruction. I think it's safe to assume that if this disappears entirely within the next couple of news cycles without any kind of definitive and independently verifiable proof of exactly what happened, a true timeline of events and the complete backstory and bios of everyone involved on the ship and controlling its movements from shore – as is my suspicion – then the truth will have been deemed way too embarrassing and damaging for Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, especially this close to November.

And, as is the case, November is both always a million years away and just around the corner. Whether incompetence, criminal sabotage, terrorism by non-state actors or a covert act of war by perhaps the ChiComs or Russians, or even just some bizarre freak accident, that something of this magnitude could have even happened in the first place does not bode well for a whole host of reasons.

Psaki-psircling (and isn't that appropriate) back to Ronna McDaniel, it's quite revealing about the nature of the enemy we face. When you get right down to it, there is very little difference between her and say Michael Steele and Nicole Wallace. Whoever it was at the top of NBC who offered her the gig in the first place understood that. He also understood, like we all do, that McDaniel, nee ROMNEY, was at best an inept fool and at worst yet another RINO saboteur who helped turn what was supposed to have been a massive tsunami of a red wave 2022 midterm into Crisco Christie's innie of a squirt gun micturating a cantaloupe-sized-prostate-constricted stream onto the Rock of Gibraltar.

Whatever Trump's calculus in backing her as RNC chair was in the first place, for sure today there is no love lost (See the sidebar) between either of them. She for sure would have eagerly joined the Greek chorus of Trump is literally Hitler, Trump must be stopped at all costs, Trump is the greatest danger to our precious democracy, etc. ad nauseam, and probably in a voice that ultimately would've drowned out even that of the horrendous Nicole Wallace and equally scummy Michael Steele.

Yet, despite all of the positives (in their eyes) she could have brought to the Goebbelsian NBC and MSNSDAP in being a supposed "reasonable, rational Republican," that is a back-stabbing lying slag propagandist, the usual gang of idiots, homunculi, mental defectives and Marxist criminals that compose the lineup at that whorehouse network (and every other whorehouse network and rag out there) went into freakout mode. On the surface it was because McDaniel supposedly supported Trump's right to protest the outcome of the 2020 election. That in and of itself is a mortal sin, but the real objection was her being merely associated with Trump, period.

Forget being associated with McCain, Bush or perhaps even Ronald Reagan. How quickly they and every Republican regardless of their Constitutional conservative bona fides or more likely lack thereof were slimed as racist, homophobic Nazis who want to throw granny off a cliff and take food out of the mouths of starving children. When Trump came along, oh how the propagandists pined for the days of yore and heaped praise on all of the aforementioned GOP Emanuel Goldsteins du jour because Trump was and still is "literally Hitler."

Believe me, I'm no defender of Ronna McDaniel because as you process all of that, she jumped at the chance to have a fat salary by joining the likes of some of the most horrid individuals imaginable so she too could bash Trump and the MAGA movement on one of the biggest Leftist house organs around. Frankly, she can go jump in a lake. What happened to her, as I stated is quite instructive as to the state of mind of the enemy. Whether she'd have been an effective Lady Haw-Haw is now academic.

The reaction to her hiring and the demanding that she be fired might very well be yet another own-goal of the Left at a most inopportune moment as the illegal alien invasion, cratering economy, national crime wave and eruption of overt Democrat Jew-hatred is already repelling even reliable Democrat voters. Many of these people already have the media in low esteem and even see them as desperately trying to help drag Biden's carcass across the finish line by covering up his criminality and melting brain.

By the way, I don't call them MSNSDAP for nothing:

Once a pariah for his role in inciting anti-Semitic riots that lynched two innocent people, and the torching of Freddie’s Fashion Mart, a Harlem store owned by a Jew whom Sharpton referred to as a “white interloper” in which 7 people were burned to death, all of them “of color,” Sharpton was resurrected by Barack Obama as his “civil rights” adviser and accepted into the Democrat fold as the party’s kingmaker. . . Without the support of Sharpton and his racist admirers, Comcast would not have been able to gain control of NBC and so it’s hardly surprising that it streams the worst lies and hate by the worst bigots as a payback for the series of dirty deals that made Roberts so rich and powerful.

During Sharpton’s lobbying for the Comcast deal, MSNBC denied that there was an offer to give the notorious racial arsonist his own show, only to debut it a few months later. Comcast not only gave Sharpton a show, but included the head of his racist National Action Network in its “diversity council.” Sharpton in turn gave MSNBC boss Phil Griffin an award after previously handing it to Jeff Zucker, who ran NBC at the time, before going off to run CNN.

Alongside Joy Reid and Sharpton, MSNBC regularly features the unhinged Elie Mystal, who said that the United States “Constitution is trash” and bragged, “you come out as a Republican, I’m prejudiced against you”, Tiffany Cross, who argued that the media focusing on the economic concerns of midwesterners was pandering to “racist white people”, Melissa Harris-Perry, who claimed that the term “hard work” is racist, and a seemingly bottomless list of bigots.

MSNBC doesn’t just employ vile racists like Reid and Sharpton who smear our country and promote hate, but also foreign enemy propagandists like Ayman Mohyeldin, formerly of Qatar’s Al Jazeera, who defended the Islamic terrorist state during the World Cup by attacking America. . . MSNBC’s decision to turn itself into Al Jazeera by stocking it with the Jihadist network’s leftovers has led to constant incitement and antisemitic propaganda at its 24/7 hate network. . .

. . . These lies, smears and slurs, like many others, come down to one company, Comcast, and one man, Brian L. Roberts. Comcast is a family business and Brian was born into it. “I think we have known that Brian would take over the company since he was about eight years old,” its co-founder admitted. At 30, he did just that and took the company from cable to content.

Unlike his father, Brian was not satisfied just providing cable access and was obsessed with taking control of programming. After a failed bid to take over Disney, he bought NBC.

MSNBC had begun purging its conservative personalities in a leftist makeover even before the Comcast takeover, but the process accelerated rapidly as talks began. And Comcast bought support for the takeover by handing out money to racists and their hate groups. . .

. . . When challenged about [Ali] Velshi’s lies at a shareholder meeting and asked to condemn Antifa, Roberts retorted that, “racism, injustice, violence have no place and cannot be tolerated.”

But the racism was coming from his personal hate network.

Roberts is not a brilliant businessman, he’s a savvy political donor. Comcast got as big and powerful as it did because it adopted the right politics and paid off the right people.

In 2020, Roberts’ wife provided $152,800 to fund the Biden campaign. But that was small change compared to the millions raised by Comcast’s chief lobbyist for Obama whom Biden has appointed as the ambassador to Canada. Roberts took to golfing with Obama and hosting him on Martha’s Vineyard. And even that money was dwarfed by the subsidies from the tax-free Comcast Foundation. . .

. . . Comcast is a corrupt company that pushes hate for profit. And Brian L. Roberts, who got the job because of his daddy, has used it to tear apart this country and reward the worst and most divisive bigots.

Despite the Jewish origins of the Roberts family, Brian Roberts has overseen a company that spreads the worst lies emanating from the terrorist propaganda machines of Hamas and the PLO. The anti-Semitic chorus at MSNBC, posing as journalists, promotes the worst smears against Israel and Jews in America.

The story of Comcast, like the tragic tale of so many other major and increasingly international companies, is that of powerful corporations turning on their own roots, on the country and the people that made them possible.

And that my friends, as the estimable Daniel Greenfield details, is the real story of the Ronna Romney McDaniel clusterfuck. They're incredibly stupid, but their stupidity is driven by their blinkered insularity. They could've just shut their cakeholes and accepted McDaniel as one of their own but in actually believing their own horrid propaganda about Trump, and by extension anyone associated with him, they've exposed themselves as the rabidly insane hacks that they are. This indicates to me that it's not just an act; they've literally lost their minds.

Part of it, of course, is the fact that despite all their efforts and despite the efforts of a completely corrupt legal system, and really because of the disaster that has been the past three years of Obama and company pulling Biden's strings, Trump actually does have a shot at really winning this thing come November.

RFK Jr.'s selection of an equally hardcore leftist as his running mate is sure to take votes away from both disaffected radical lefties who think Biden is too soft on Israel and the American citizenry, and whatever is left of the Democrat base that is not Maoist. The votes he might take away from Trump are going to be statistically, if not actually nil.

The unhinged reaction to Ronna McDaniel is also a warning that things are going to get very dangerous both to Trump and all of us as November nears. Friend and friend of the blog Bob Zimmerman has some dire prognostications and I can honestly and sadly say, he's not wrong:

For my entire life I have devoutly wished to see some willingness on the left to honestly debate and participate in an open exchange of ideas. In my entire life I have never found them willing to do so.

Instead, that close-mindedness has driven them further and further into a crazy hole that brooks no dissent, because their positions have become increasingly irrational and indefensible. You can’t win a debate if you are arguing that men can be women, you support the castration and mutilation of little children, and that terrorists like Hamas are the good guys. Your only solution if these are your positions is to shut down all debate, so you can force these policies on everyone, even if almost everyone opposes you.

We have now reached this point in history, and the only way out for the left appears to be violence and the destruction of our constitutional republic.

Read it all. Just 24 years ago, we were all laughing at "Sore-Loserman" i.e. Gore-Lieberman. Al Gore is a bloated grifter. Joe Lieberman, who has now passed on, was probably the last of the last of the reasonable Democrats and liberals which one could debate. I disagreed with him most of the time on most issues. But he was a decent human being, insofar as one can be decent in the indecent enterprise of politics.

Meh, perhaps I'm looking back at what I perceive as halcyon days, especially compared to the present. But Democrat policy has always been a cancer on America as founded, regardless of how "nice" the Democrat politician in question was.

That said, I stand by my assertion yesterday that today's Democrats and their supporters are the greatest threat by far to what's left of America and whatever our chances are at a revival. You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists. Had Lieberman lived, he might've jumped ship considering what the Democrats are doing to Israel. As it is, he remained silent since 10/7.

Or MSNSDAP and the rest of the propaganda organs embargoed him.

19 This final rule allows an exception from the requirement to obtain informed consent when a clinical investigation poses no more than minimal risk to the human subject and includes appropriate safeguards to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of human subjects. The final rule permits an institutional review board (IRB) to waive or alter certain informed consent elements or to waive the requirement to obtain informed consent, under limited conditions, for certain FDA-regulated minimal risk clinical investigations.

20 My personal takeaway from the Ronna McDaniel kerfuffle is that the inmates over at MSLSD are running the show. They've more or less come out as the final arbiter of who can and can't join their "club."

No one… and as a bonus MSNBC reveals yet again (for the 1000th time) that they’re nuts (Upchuck Todd etc). Gallagher opened his phone lines for comments and his audience was so uninterested he got only one call — a guy who said “who cares” and hung up LoL

29 Trump Could Pull Off The Greatest Political Comeback In American History

--

Just on a gut feeling, and pessimist that I usually am, I'd posit that Trump has a 80% chance of really winning in November. That carries one caveat and we all know what that is: FRAUD. The fraud we will see in November will be biblical and at present, I'm not confident he (and we) has a prayer to overcome it. YMMV

32 29 Trump Could Pull Off The Greatest Political Comeback In American History

--

Just on a gut feeling, and pessimist that I usually am, I'd posit that Trump has a 80% chance of really winning in November. That carries one caveat and we all know what that is: FRAUD. The fraud we will see in November will be biblical and at present, I'm not confident he (and we) has a prayer to overcome it. YMMV
Posted by: Lady in Black at March 28, 2024 08:07 AM (mupln)


The fraud will have to be massive compared to 2020. And that was the most massive to date. Plus, the national mood is such that a lot more people are going to see it and believe it if it does go down.

But they can only be Outer Party. They are not truly of the body. All of the sinecures, book deals, think tank chairs, etc. on which they depend are provided at the Inner Party's sole discretion, and the Outer Party only continues to draw breath at the Inner Party's sufferance.

Insane? No, they're intelligently lazy.

Thanks to the efforts of The Algorithm, once you're on the left yellow brick road there are no easy detours. It requires effort to see a different opinion. And expending that effort requires the consideration that a potentially valid different opinion exists. *** it doesn't... they're insane... they're evil... whispers the algorithm ***

And why would they expend that effort? Doing so would gain them nothing. They don't give a rat's ass what happens to you, me, to the country.

But then the war started and the call ups began. Same thing with smooth brained people today who vote or register or support the democrats.

73 When you have a dying tree, you can do one of a few things:
1. Fertilize it, water it, trim it, and try nurse it back to health
2. Ignore it and hope the problem goes away
3. Give up, cut it down for firewood and lumber, plant a new tree
4. Carefully excavate the tree and move it to a more salubrious environment.

The major corps are the sickly tree. They have too much debt, are too slow and have saturated their markets. Gone are the days of explosive growth. Markets are mature and innovation has slowed. When everyone already has all they want, you have to sell incremental changes instead of new paradigms. You also have to start waiting for shit to wear out to be replaced if you deal in goods.

So the executives try approaches 1 and 2 simultaneously. They try to nurse back to health - "throw AI at it and turn it into a subscription service to keep up cashflow" - and move it to a more salubrious environment, which is becoming a Party partner and getting protection.

America made them what they are, but that growth can't be maintained. Time to switch to rent-extraction and government favors from the Party.

79 A very good theory about the Dali relates to the mandate to use low sulfur diesel in ships when not at sea. Sulfur actually helps to chemically break down naturally occurring plastics in diesel grades, so a low sulfur fuel is more prone to clogging up the fuel injection system.

It may have just been another unintended consequence of government action that caused the power failure, and thus the crash of the ship.

SCOTUS didn't rule on the merits of the case, it lifted the injunction placed by the district court. Now the circuit court has placed a new injunction.

Because the courts are saying that, if the feds choose to ignore the law, the law is considered to not exist until the feds choose to turn around and notice it in YOUR case and that NO ONE may enforce anything even vaguely resembling the law. And that harm must be borne by the citizenry and the nation rather than by the criminal invaders.

And? Why is this not adequate qualification?

She seems like a near-perfect analogue of Obama. He married his power and influence when he became a kept man of the Chicago political machine and its radicals. He worked as a "community organizer" - that is, for leftist NGOs. He was literally married to a no-name but politically pure academic, and his own purity was perhaps greater.

How is she any different? He was more than qualified to win the presidency, so why isn't she qualified to be an also-ran's running mate? If anything, this is problematic only insofar as it represents a continuation of the "war on women" because the male (Obama) isn't adequate for a woman.

Don’t know what anyone would do if so. If 2020 showed anything, it showed that electoral law is totally deficient when it comes to trying to adjudicate an election after the fact.

I do expect a bevy of judges to find “standing” where there was none in 2020.

I'm not shaming Trump for anything he did as president. He did do a lot of good. And I'm not here to relitigate the arguments I made about his time as a Manhattan real estate developer. I went over all that in 2016. What I am proposing is that Donald J. Trump is not the cure for what ails America right now. Go ahead and vote for him. But I hope you'd understand two things as you do:

1. If Trump lost to fraud in 2020, he can lose to Fraud again.

2. If Trump somehow manages to overcome the fraudulent vote in 2024, we'd better start thinking *immediately* about where we're going in 2028. Like, the day after the election-immediately.

He could have sold us out at any time and become a "respectable Republican". Or have you forgot that that's the only song Republicans seem to know.

119 Auto-da-fe, what's an auto-da-fe?
Posted by: Brown Robed Monk at March 28, 2024 08:32 AM (uCvd3)
++++
It's a trade name established by the Automatic Daylight Fermenter Corporation for their new invention of a sun-accelerated winemaking process and associated equipment. They filed for US Patent Protection in 1871, and delivered the product and process to the market in 1873.

There were four key elements in Auto-Da-Fe's market and subsequent corporate failure:
1. The process was largely ineffective, creating an inferior product and thus creating fairly little demand.
2. The Panic of 1873 and following Long Depression generally reduced capital outlay and risk appetite in the market at large, which affected uptake of new products and processes by businesses
3. Auto-Da-Fe itself was heavily invested in railroad bonds as a way to generate capital returns during product development, and its books were hit hard by the general decline during the Panic and its aftermath.
4. Relevant foreign markets were closed to Auto-Da-Fe, as protectionism - particularly in key winemaking regions of France, Spain and Italy - surged due to the intercontinental nature of the Panic.

138 "Informed Consent" Officially Nixed as Long as There is Only "Minimal Risk" to the Patient

********

Informed consent has been a skimpy fig leaf for researchers for a long time. IRB's grant approval to clinical research projects as long as the written consent form lists the potential complications, but does nothing about researchers who verbally downplay the known risks when they seek to have a patient participate in a study. They say things like, "We've been doing this procedure for years." and "We are required to list these complications, but they are really very minimal."

At the same time they imply that a patient is missing out on the latest and greatest if they decline to participate. This is especially insidious when they manipulate parents into consenting for their children.

179 Good morning everyone. Thank you J.J.

On Thursday of Holy Week (Maundy Thursday) the Church celebrates the three pillars of the Catholic Church instituted by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper: the priesthood, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and the Holy Eucharist. This is the traditional day for priests to gather with their bishop at the Chrism Mass, to receive oils blessed by the bishop and to publicly renew their priestly promises. In the evening the Church celebrates the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. After this Mass the altar is stripped bare and the Blessed Sacrament is removed from the Tabernacle and processed to a separate altar of repose. Here the Blessed Sacrament is adored until late in the night to commemorate the time Jesus spent in Garden of Gethsemane in agonizing prayer, the start of his Passion. The Blessed Sacrament is then taken away and hidden until the Easter Vigil in memory of Our Lord’s death and burial.

Dead internet Joe and Steele have outlived their moniker of "guys from the other side." Anyone who watches believes they have fully seem the light and are now on the right team.

Booting Ronna deprives them of "hey, Rs are still racist knuckle dragging. . .etc" A new daily affirmation, if yiu will.

When ads run this fa confirming Trump's plan to deport illegals showing the invasion, some folks will be absolutely dumbfounded. Ronna could have twisted the knife more by saying the Hous should have passed the border bill. And would lend weight to Mika and Todd's words. Now she can't.

Back in the 90s I'd argue you could find some left of center people that would actually discuss politics but...not really since then.

And the current left is very open about what they are - I've seen numerous leftists argue that they have to censor us because they can't win the war of ideas if "hate" or "bigotry" is allowed to make its case.

Which is fascinating as well because the original civil rights movement won because it persuaded people it had better arguments then its opponents.

People who found businesses build them. People who follow, generally speaking, loot them. Gone are the days when you worked for a single company your whole life. Gone are the days when you were expected to have some loyalty to your company - and it to you.

The early days of personal computing caused that explosive growth. Governments changed tax models because of it. Businesses came to expect it. C-suite shitheads came to expect the payouts associated with it. And it was all ephemeral. So they changed the way that they did business to try and re-create the semblance of the thing. Go into debt to buy another company to claim that's "growth". Lay off "labor units" when the economy is down to cut costs. No understanding of the long term effects of anything.

Seems most likely an accident, but there were some stories social media posts (and subsequent news stories calling them crazy, natch) going around how something similar was depicted in the recent Netflix movie produced by the Obamas (would not watch) called "Leave The World Behind" about cyber-hacking leading to a World War or something (that analysts like Bongino speculated was an attempt to "prep the battlefield" for what they know is coming -- or are outright planning).

In the movie, apparently an oil barge is cyber-hacked and runs aground or something ...

227 Who gets to determine what constitutes "minimal risk?"

********

It goes something like this. Every hospital has an Institutional Review Board that ostensibly oversees clinical research at that hospital. The researcher presents a proposed project to the IRB with supporting information such as results oof other clinical trials, animal studies and the historical evolution of the procedure in question, along with citations from the existing literature. The tendency is to downplay risks. "The patient's dick may fall off, but this almost never happens in our experience". The whole process depends on how rigorously the IRB exercises due diligence. If the researcher has prestige, the IRB will lean toward rubber stamping.

Multi-center studies employ a joint IRB composed of reps from each facility. '

Nationwide studies rely on governmental agencies or quasi-governmental agencies such as CDC, NIH, FDA, etc. (e.g. mRNA COVID vaccines touted by CDC as "totally safe".

IIRC most merchant vessels have a single propeller. It's the torque that can move the bow port or starboard, depending on how the blades are set.

The port anchor was dropped, but dragged, which if it held would have kept the bow of the ship from swinging to starboard (right) and into the bridge support.*

I get that. But if I am informed of the risks of an experimental procedure and I decide to do it anyway, is that not in point-of-fact a hold-harmless, to coin a lawyerly turn of phrase?

Let's say you have cancer. And you've been told you have six months to live. There's a drug therapy that you take as part of a clinical trial, but it has a 50-50 chance of either *shortening* your life by three months, or giving you an additional six months due to some confounding variable that hasn't been discovered yet.

Wouldn't it be to the advantage of the researchers to find as many willing participants as possible? Instead, what we get in clinical drug trials suggests to me that we the people haven't learned a damn thing from the Tuskeegee Study OR CoViD.

270 I have never been one to criticize an event or speaker that WKU has hosted, until I learned that Kyle Rittenhouse would be bringing his “Rittenhouse Recap” to campus.

I firmly believe in freedom of speech. I do not, however, condone a person bragging about killing people, even if it is in “self-defense,” and WKU should not have allowed such an event to take place on our campus.


To add insult to injury, Kyle is scheduled to speak at Kent State University on April 16. He shows that he is tone deaf to the massacre that occurred there.

I wish people, even those on our side, would stop framing this as a free speech issue. Public and private institutions have the right to approve or reject anyone from speaking within their walls for any reason. And if they approve some dickless wonderboy like Rottenhouse, the students have the free speech right to express their perfectly justified outrage and scorn.

IIRC most merchant vessels have a single propeller. It's the torque that can move the bow port or starboard, depending on how the blades are set.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at March 28, 2024 09:11 AM


I've owned a number of outboard propeller driven boats in my life and I've always purchased 'clockwise' props which when gunned forward attempt to force the boat to the right. I never ever tried backing up with one quickly but to my line of thought they would want to take the bow of the boat to the starboard (right).

Two minutes before impact the port anchor was dropped which made sense. The ship then veering to the right makes little sense - except for the prop thing.

287 Some of you may have heard about it, but North Alabama had an officer shoot a male dindunuffin recently. The three cops were all fired, one of whom is under prosecution for murder. The usual asshats protested, created a scene and elevated everything so that the cops (guilty or innocent) wouldn't ever get a fair trial.

Evidently this pissed off someone, and the body cam footage was released. I need to watch it again, but the dindu exited his house, with a pistol drawn, pistol flashlight illuminated, and under the very bright light of on of the officers, showing the other two officers that he was armed and engaging them all three.

"There's no money in cable television anymore. If everyone cut the cord and went to streaming, I'd love it. Streaming requires internet access and in my business, that's where the real money is.

302 Why Biden's loss of Black Voters is a disaster for the Democrats.

1. Most of the important Black vote is fraud by white Democrats. By important I mean votes that swing states: Atlanta, Philly, Detroit, Milwaukee. Having Blacks vote against a Democrat means They Actually Voted, and their pretend vote is subtracted from the fraud potential. Pretty easy to demonstrate election fraud if the vote total is more than 100% of the people in a district.
2. In 2020 nobody in the critical swing cities complained that their vote for Trump wasn't counted. This time around they know they aren't alone, and a zero vote for Trump from those cities will get noise made.

3.In 2020 the Black vote claimed from the big 4 swing cities was 100% for Biden, while in the rest of the country Trump got 9% of the black vote. If Trump actually gets 10% of the Black vote in those 4 cities Biden simply can't win.

327 In practice, researchers tend to skew the presentation, emphasizing the purported benefits while downplaying the known (and unknown) risks.

If you go to a used car dealer and ask him if you need a used car what answer are you likely to get?

You should assume the same bias is built in any time you ask someone that will personally benefit if a product or service is good for you

328 >>@Heminator

Just so we're clear here, Democrats, who are campaigning against Trump based on dubious charges of sexual assault they engineered, are still inviting *Bill Clinton* to headline big ticket events long after his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been well established.



Hey, let's not forget the recent "drowning" of Obama's WH pastry chef while paddleboarding on (near) Obama's Martha's Vineyard estate - and he was naked when found (iirc?) and it's unclear who was with him (Obama?) and who called 911.

329 Ronna was a turncoat from the get go, no idea why Trump kept her because it was obvious she was a Deep State proponent

Consider:
Trump, as a potential candidate (as her reelection was before he announced officially IIRC) vs. Trump, the nominee.

I kinda think that plays into the timing of his endorsement and then his removal of her.

340 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

CNN Business, early this morning, 'NBC’s Ronna McDaniel disaster is dragging Comcast into the political firestorm'

Back in Dec. 2017, Variety reported, 'Senator Asks DOJ to Take Another Look at Comcast-NBCUniversal Merger' It began, "Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said that he has asked that the Justice Department to investigate the Comcast-NBCUniversal merger and whether it will pose a threat to consumers after conditions to the transaction expire in September, 2018." Dec. 2018, The NY Post reported, under Politics Exclusive, 'Justice Department backs off Comcast-NBCUniversal merger probe' (The latter is a fascinating article, imo, giving some context to mergers of giants & anti-competitive behavior.)

Comcast stinks & it may very well be that FCC has let it run amok, my opinion as a consumer. Won't listen, doesn't care, has ^ broadcast TV & regional sports 'fees' but remains quite popular as a franchise throughout the region. Government. Bah Humbug. On all levels.

BTW, NYPost, "On the campaign trail, Trump said President Barack Obama’s DOJ never should have cleared the Comcast-NBC merger."

341 Today!! NBC News: Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to raise $25 million with Biden amid concerns about his age.

Bits, pieces: "The rare and highly anticipated gathering of three Democratic presidents will raise over $25 million, according to a release by the Biden campaign, which is characterizing it as the most successful political fundraiser in American history."

"Some of the biggest donors will have the opportunity to have their pictures taken with the three Democratic presidents, shot by famed portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz. The cheapest tickets have sold for $250, with the largest contributions coming from people who gave $250,000 and $500,000."

"Beyond the in-person component, other donors will have access to a “grassroots virtual conversation” with the three presidents that will be moderated by Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez. That access costs as little as $25, according to the online invitation."

The first lady will also hold a “500 person VIP after party” after the event, which will be co-hosted by DJ D-Nice, whose profile rose during the coronavirus pandemic after he held virtual “Club Quarantine” events on Instagram live.

Tax $ at work, baby.

13 Weather: 56 F., humidity not bad for this dump, stiff breeze out of the NW. Rare conditions for late March around here.

There's also a news story on the CBS outlet's website that three of our local bridges will close soon or already have for repairs. None are near me, but the one leading to a ferry that allows people in the SE area of the metro area to cross over to my side of the river, and the ferry itself, are closed. So I've been seeing more vehicles on the main bridge in the morning and afternoon.

We had a bridge over the big Industrial Canal partially collapse and kill one person thanks to a barge impact one afternoon in '93. Though I seem to recall something similar later, about '96 when I worked in an area serviced by that span. One of my coworkers said he crossed it only about five minutes before the barge hit it. . . .

16 Can't find the story about any bridge-barge impact from '96, just the story about the freighter that hit the riverfront shopping mall a week or so before Christmas that year. I had considered going down there (a Saturday) to do some shopping, and changed my mind at the last minute.

Maybe my coworker in '96 who escaped a bridge incident was telling about 1993, not a recent event.

The ones at a decent price at Tar-zhay were either too small, or didn't have their wattage on the box. I couldn't get any employee help (typical), so I left.

Found what I needed at WM, a Hamilton Beach 900-watter, same as the deceased unit. That MW, a Sunbeam, lasted me for some four or five years. This one seems to do just as well at what it's supposed to do.

If WM hadn't had anything, I was prepared to head to Best Buy (more $$).

Contrary to initial expectations, the genes and proteins are now known to persist in the blood for prolonged periods, and post-vaccination syndrome, or ‘spikeopathy’, has become a major global problem, the researchers say. The jabs should have been regarded as biomedicine, but because they were classified as vaccines, huge numbers of people were inoculated and many areas of medicine are beginning to become involved with the consequences. ‘This has never happened before in the history of biomedicine, and consequently it is highly suspected that blood products for transfusion have been affected.’

That'd be appropriate, as the word "lemur" is one Latin word for "ghost."

Is the aye-aye of Madagascar a lemur? When I was small, I read in my Golden Book Encyclopedia about a legend, that someone who kills an aye-aye will die a year and a day afterward. I've never seen that repeated anywhere else, so I wonder where they got it.

He probably would say they were made up. For these idiots, the only thing that matters is what happened to their 'people.' I guess that makes sense in the larger historical context. It is how racism/tribalism works.

Some maritime 'expert' made an interesting point about the propellers on the ship; they (to simplify) can either be clockwise or counter-clockwise. In reverse rotation it could have swung the bow of the boat left or right based on which type was used.

The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

"The Prisoner Review Board must be able to operate independently as they review enormously difficult cases, but I believe LeAnn Miller has made the correct decision in stepping down from her role." Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D)


Quote II

“I can’t charge $20 for Happy Meals. I’m leaving no stones unturned,”
McDonald's franchise owner, Scott Rodrick
It is difficult for a business man to soar like an eagle when the ill informed anchors one down needlessly.

A couple of views on Israel........


&&&&&


Israel Has Created a New Standard for Urban Warfare. Why Will No One Admit It?

The Israel Defense Forces conducted an operation at al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip to root out Hamas terrorists recently, once again taking unique precautions as it entered the facility to protect the innocent; Israeli media reported that doctors accompanied the forces to help Palestinian patients if needed. They were also reported to be carrying food, water and medical supplies for the civilians inside.

None of this meant anything to Israel's critics, of course, who immediately pounced. The critics, as usual, didn't call out Hamas for using protected facilities like hospitals for its military activity. Nor did they mention the efforts of the IDF to minimize civilian casualties

It isn't being a parent. And practicing medicine is just that. Practice. Practice. And practice some more.

A mum is warning parents to throw out any electrical items that have button batteries after her baby swallowed one and was rushed to hospital.

Kiara West, 24, first noticed a problem when her nine-month-old daughter Rosantina West began wheezing on the morning of February 14.

Kiara’s husband Daniel West, 22, rushed Rosantina to the local ER where doctors sent her home with a nebuliser, suggesting she had RSV, a respiratory virus much like the common cold.

However, two days later Rosantina’s wheezing got worse, so the mum-of-two took her to Children’s Minnesota Hospital where an x-ray revealed a button battery was lodged in her oesophagus.

Did. Not. See. This. Coming. No, not at all. And it is not on my 2024 Bingo card.


A leading witness in the 2019 impeachment inquiry of then-President Donald Trump registered as a foreign agent representing Ukraine and the European Union (E.U.) on Thursday.

Gordon Sondland served as the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union from 2018 to 2020 and testified against Trump before the House of Representatives Select Committee on Intelligence in 2019, claiming that Trump sought to withhold foreign military aid to Ukraine unless it launched an investigation into then-former Vice President Joe Biden regarding his son’s business dealings in the country; Biden was running against Trump for the presidency at the time of the impeachment hearing. Sondland filed a registration statement with the U.S. Department of Justice, declaring himself a foreign agent of Ukraine and the E.U. in order to legally represent their interests in the country, according to a document obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

May the Good Lord have mercy on us if the Karens of the world take over.

A new draft animal protection law has suggested breeds with certain problems, including spinal injuries, could be banned.

Sausage dogs are known to struggle with back problems and can also easily become overweight.

The proposed move has been met with resistance in Germany, with the German Kennel Club (VDH) launching a petition to save the breed.

The VDH has argued that the law would be too open for interpretation when determining genetic defects.

So a hard working UPS driver meets a Rachel Corrie wannabe and Genius Award Winner.

A viral TikTok that was initially uploaded by user @Choriz93 is making the round of several other popular pages and it's not difficult to see why: it features a woman crawling underneath a UPS truck as a means of protesting the way her packages were being delivered.

She's damn lucky her household full of cats weren't orphaned by her award winning stunt. And lucky the driver is a nicer guy than I am.

Which one is Butch and which one is Fem. Or in this case, "It is good to be King and/or Queen depending on the day and hour I am asked."

The wife of Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek announced that she is in recovery from alcoholism and lives with mental illness.

The statement from Aimee Kotek Wilson comes amid a staff shakeup in the governor’s office and accusations of nepotism as Wilson’s role in the Democrat’s administration has come under scrutiny and criticism.

The statement comes on the heels of questions to the governor about her wife’s elevated role in the administration as well as a security detail.

OregonLive reported:

The governor has brought on a state-funded adviser to explore the possibility of forming an Office of the First Spouse and announced this week that she had ordered the Oregon State Police to provide her wife with a security detail while attending events on her behalf. The state-funded adviser, Meliah Masiba, will be paid $72,000 during the six-month rotation, the same rate that she has earned at the Department of Administrative Services. The governor’s office did not say how much the upgraded security protection will cost, but said the money would come out of the governor’s existing budget.

The Karens already took over the world during the Kung Flu Overreaction. They were in grocery stores demanding shoppers follow the arrows, in airports demanding masks be pulled up over everyone's noses, and in their car, driving solo, rocking a KN-95, gloves, and probably a face shield.

82 "The Israel Defense Forces conducted an operation at al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip to root out Hamas terrorists recently, once again taking unique precautions as it entered the facility to protect the innocent; Israeli media reported that doctors accompanied the forces to help Palestinian patients if needed. They were also reported to be carrying food, water and medical supplies for the civilians inside.

"None of this meant anything to Israel's critics, of course, who immediately pounced. The critics, as usual, didn't call out Hamas for using protected facilities like hospitals for its military activity. Nor did they mention the efforts of the IDF to minimize civilian casualties"


No one should be surprised that the Leftists are screaming for Israel to stand-down its operations to eradicate Hamas. They're the same Leftists who want to crucify every private citizen who fights back against a thug.

Yeah. Same design firm for the aforementioned Ship Channel Bridge. It's about 75% complete. And two or three outside engineering firms, brought in to audit the ladies' design, and *ahem* engineering.

We did it as kids too though we never did it for more than a few miles.

What I still feel guilty about to this day is breaking off the thin wire ‘lock’ with my friend that they had on the loaded box cars. We took a 40lb sack of rice and a bulk wrapped 1lb pilsbury flour packages.

My Grandma had no earthly idea where they were for months. This was in the '30s; everybody was doing it.

Sort of like how in Dec. '77 I hitched from the NY/CT border to Boston and back; lot of snow and ice to stand around in back then. At one time, hitch-hiking was quite acceptable. Hitching was a little crazy in the '70s, but now? You'd have to be certifiable to do that today. Just like when I was a kid you'd have to have been certifiable to ride the rails.

201 Over bred animals: we had a GSD for 13 years. She developed hip dysplasia which led to arthritis in her hipg. We stuffed pain killers down her. Plus, she had a very young cat to keep her on her toes. My understanding of the breeding problem is that too many kids watched ringing in and begged for GSDs. Responsible breeders sold pet quality pups, but made sue the animal was either spayed or neutered before letting the pup go to a new home. It was the backyard breeders who didn't give a shit about what they sold that caused so many problems.

Cats have similar problems. The breed standards go to the extreme. Siamese heads narrow down so horribly much. Persian nose leathers and are supposed to be in a straight line with their foreheads. (And take my word for it -- they snore, although thankfully not as bad as pugs.)

It, and the bridge immediately adjacent, which it will replace, are both tall enough.

But the new bridge will allow for a vastly widened San Jacinto River, which is also being dredged deeper for the larger ships.

Meanwhile. Some pockets get stuffed with cash, while some pants get filled with "Oh SHIT!".

See me at 192. HAZMAT considerations are why the Key Bridge was built.
Original Harbor Tunnel opened in 1958. Second tunnel (Ft McHenry Tunnel) opened in 1986. Neither allow HAZMAT.
See me upthread also about the over-water approach roads still being intact. Replacement of the main span of the bridge is a must.

Apparently the Dali has a history of mechanical failures. If one wanted to wreak havoc in a seaport, and have plausible deniability, what better way to do it than follow such a trouble-prone, and take steps to cause an engine failure at a crucial time? Simply blocking the ship channel with a VLCC, run aground, would be havoc enough.

I'm not saying it is certainly sabotage, but to dismiss sabotage out of hand without a thorough investigation is short-sighted.

1) The dozens of Biden/Trump H2H polls show Trump winning (at the moment, anyway) by 1.5%, per the RCP average. The MOE for these polls is 3% usually-- sometimes 2.5%.

2) But polls of the 3-way Biden/Trump/K race show Trump +3, i.e., outside the MOE, albeit barely.

Most analysts seem to think that K's VP pick Nicole Shanahan may ADD TO Trump's lead in the 3-way race, because she's a lefty enviro-loon who will drive away GOP-leaning indies who don't like Trump.

Anyway, she followed a trajectory very similar to that of a lawn dart, and by the time she reached the ground she was fully vertical. Jammed up her shoulder and she was gimpy for a while, but didn't break anything. I thought she would squeak like a concertina when she hit the ground, but I guess that's only in the cartoons.

Well, all the fuel kept on going throught the carb, into the head and on into the crankcase. Drained the gas/oil out of the crankcase, refilled and pulled the spark plug wire. I cranked it a bit to circulate the oil, waited and did it again. Then I drained the oil and put fresh oil in it.

Put the wire back on the plug, opened the gas valve, watched the filter fill and cranked the engine. Then I cut the yard. That Craftsman mower is a year 2001.

Yep, from the first report I saw. If it was an attack we better hope it was electronic, because otherwise there are sleeper agents on an ungodly number of ships in and out of US Ports.

I'm not even going to try to argue the point, but there was some very good analysis done online done by a couple guys with experience at this kind of thing, and no, it was one of those stupid accidents where everything that could go wrong did. But hell, it's probably politically useful to say it was sabotage, so what the hell lets go with that.

311 It's funny how some dogs are bolters, no matter their relationship with their owners. My dog never bolted anywhere. She was a medium-small mixed breed rescue (we guessed a little Corgi, Beagle and something else[s?]). She was happy just to have a roof over her head, a bed to sleep in, food and belly rubs, not necessarily in that order. She'd wander off following her nose, but she never bolted. She only went to the vet for her shots. She lived to be around 16-17. There's something to be said about mutts.

Whether Wallace hurt Nixon more or Humphrey more is a never ending argument that can never be resolved. Wallace drew votes from Humphrey in the upper Midwest and from Nixon in the south.

Similar debate about Perot in 1992, altho the balance of opinion seems to be that Perot hurt Bush 41 more than Clinton.

Thus far in 2024, though, I haven't seen ANYBODY who thinks that RFK, Jr. isn't helping Trump. Certainly the DEMs think K is hurting Biden, because they're doing everything they can to keep K off the ballot.

Ours didn't bark constantly. The females roaming was a definite problem. The male usually stayed home, but only after getting out of his pen. After he killed a tooth lifting a gate off its hinges, and broke a toe scaling a 6 foot stock panel, Dad built "dogatraz" up closer to the house and Gabriel stayed there happily enough. Especially when Beau the cat would go hang out with him .

Neighbors had a Heeler and a Pit bull who would come through the field fence and harass Gabriel, retreating back through the fence when they started losing. One day he'd had enough and went *through* the field fence after them. Fortunately, Dad was there and called Gabriel back because he was about to put the Pit bull out of his misery. He came as soon as Dad called him and the two dogs kept to their own side of the fence after that.

One of my mother's very young girlfriends, only in her early '80s, just got out of the hospital. Early Sunday morning, she got up to go to the bathroom. She couldn't get up. Blurred vision, and "dizziness". Standing up, she said her body just couldn't balance itself.

Anyway, she spent two days in the hospital. They haven't figured it out. She can get around now. She was dehydrated they said, but MRI showed "white matter increases" in her brain compared to the last scans they had on file. They have her on some sort of cardio monitor now (the new ones just have a sensor that sticks on your chest, and a smart phone like device you just need to keep in range of).

Anyway, she went on a rant about the mRNA injectable products. Her doctor nagged and nagged her to take it. She did, and regrets it. About 3 weeks after getting it, she got Covid. And has now had it a total of 3 times since.

I realize the day before my mother's "mild stroke" she had a "glitch". I'm kicking myself for not recognizing it. But they tell me, there was probably nothing that getting her in a day earlier really would've done. Might, but likely not.

A brief episode of sitting at the dinner table, talking, then sort of momentarily glitching, "blah, blah, bssuzzzzzpburbr....blah, blah". I even saw a brief left side facial droop. She recovered, the event lasted only a second or two.

Anyway, you see a loved one do that, get them to the ER stat, and get their brain scanned.

I saw a video (Daily Mail). The Dali suffered about two electrical failures as it veered into the bridge support. Lights went out, black smoke billowing (some emergency restart procedure), recovered, then lights out again and boom.

The pilot got a "Mayday" broadcast out. Likely saved some lives, as they started to block traffic on the bridge. But those poor people on the bridge, including some construction workers were not so lucky.

464 Aux generators might have powered hydraulics, for rudder control.

Betcha the fire-up and pressurize time cycle for those, was about the same for "impact"

Betcha TWICE, that ZERO engineering crew, even glanced at those systems. They were ALL focused on re-starting the Main.

Ooops. Ooopsie.

Rudder control alone won't help if you are drifting with the current, and don't have steerage way. I have not seen any reports yet on the state of the tide, or speed of the river current.

467 The entire "is or is not terrorism/sabotage" lunacy is missing the forest for the trees. Namely...this is the Port of Baltimore. From a critical infrastructure standpoint, nationally, the port is a non entity. GSX coal will have to do some reroutes, if the channel is still closed six weeks from now Domino sugar will have some problems, and Mitsubishi and Subaru are having a bad day. The trucking snarl this will cause is bad, but not insurmountable. That's...about it.

Compare to, say, blocking the Sabine ship channel at the mouth. Two of the five largest refineries in America are cut off, and gas nationally jumps at least a buck a gallon overnight and continues to rise. The largest LNG export terminal in the country is down. The military loses a solid third of its outload capability through Beaumont and Port Arthur.

How about blocking Angels Gate at LA-Long Beach. Or God forbid hit the LPG facility in San Pedro. A tactical nuke would do less damage. Can do this all day, with a really long list of MCI/KI before getting within light years of anything in Baltimore. Yes, what happened was a tragedy. The cold truth is in the national maritime scheme of things, Baltimore is small ball.

468 Conjoined twin Abby Hensel is now married.

According to the article, the woman who controls the right half of their body got married. Does the wedding ring go on her/their right hand, then?

I suppose so, since that woman doesn't "have" a left hand, and that's where you'd wear a wedding ring if you'd lost your left hand/arm. But then the ring isn't sending the "I'm spoken for" signal since she seems to have a left hand to everyone else.....

I got interested in the history of "mayday" as the standard distress call. It comes from the French "m'aidez"/"m'aider" meaning "help me".

Some Brit came up with it in the '20s, and anglicized it as "may day". Like the phonetic alphabet, the idea is to come with a spoke phrase (group of phonemes) that are easily recognizable and can be understood, without ambiguity, by everyone on the channel.

The standard format is "Mayday, mayday, mayday!", indentify your vessel, "Mayday, mayday, mayday", identify vessel, position, then description of emergency.

The ship was reported to have attained 8 point something knots, under power. Seven point something, at impact.

The river current was.. let's guess. 4 knots? That's a FAST current. Enough to leave "bow waves" around dock pilings.

Ship HAD steerage. Even if marginally. But with zero hydraulics, it had no RUDDER.

And with no power, it could not apply THRUST against the rudder to sharpen the turn.

I have helmed, often single handed, what might be considered an astonishing array of sailboats, all single engined, of a wide, wide variety of keel and rudder hull-plans.

Worst of them all, the Catalina 38 ft. Mk II design. The "walk to port" required about a 120 degree stationary offset before power was applied. When stern steerageway was achieved, you MIGHT just have the hull aligned with the marina fairway.

And you'd best be a deft hand with throttle and wheel and wind and current.

But with only 3 to 4 knots net steerage, any deflection they could apply to the rudder would take longer to bring the vessel's head around. Time that they didn't have. They were basically fucked the first time they lost power.

Yep. 'Cause when the first lost power, they also lost rudder.

Every luxury yacht I've ever crewed, BOTH aux generators were UP and ONLINE and (even redundantly) powering all electrical and hydraulic systems, before the vessel ever left the dock.

Even if one of the two Main Engines coughed, the aux gennies kept the load off the other Main.

Once out of the transit channel? Hit the power panel, shift all load to the mains, and give the aux gennies their rest.

Approaching the dock. Port gennies on odd numbered days, Starboard on the evens. Kept the Hobbs Meters for engine hours, happy enough.

Unfortunately, most do not think of that when their pets are young and prone to jumping around. Helping them not jump around too much while young helps later in life or at least I think every little bit helps later on. For in-house exercise, cat ramps and not cat stairs, e.g. Swinging bridges, spiral ramps up cat trees, stuff like that. You can also get a cat's jumping around out of its system with controlled cat 'catch and kill' play.

525 Interesting blog of a ships captain with the pilot going up the waterway a few hours before the container ship hit the bridge.
Probably find it on Google. It shows how much experience it takes to tread the needle up that canal to Baltimore. You don't steer a ship like a truck. Lots of knowledge in knowing where to set the ruder and those ships don't react that quickly with a rudder change. And to have all power go out a the last moment, your fucked or lucky. Emergency power just turns on the lighting.
With unlimited dollars from the government, I'd bet the replacement will look like the Sunshine bridge south the St. Pete. All the remaining parts of the bridge will be replaced with wider roadways. Having traveled that bridge many times, the roadway was fairly narrow. Much like the harbor bridge (two bridges actually) east of Baltimore.
Which are probably about the same age.

So some Norwegians carved out a wide luge-like channel in the snow and then got into an inflatable raft and went bobsledding.

Neat underwater shot in a mountain lake. The surface -- the undersurface, I mean -- of the water becomes reflective. (Unless I've been snookered by a CGI effect again.)

86 Mercury amalgamates with many metals. If you play with liquid mercury then don't wear gold or silver jewelry as it will be ruined. An amalgam is a solution of the metal in mercury. Often solid, useful as dental fillings (now replaced by resins, etc.?). Heating the amalgam makes the mercury distill and leaves behind the other metal, but the worse for wear - it won't look like that wedding band that you didn't remove.
Other metals? Lead, copper, tin, platinum but not iron. Sodium amalgam is great for super-drying solvents in the lab. Sodium makes a nice flash when dropped into liquid mercury.

On Monday’s show, Jon Stewart accused Trump of “lying” about the valuation of some of his properties, claiming Trump’s “shenanigans cost the city of New York.”

But documents obtained by the New York Post appear to show that Stewart once overvalued his own New York home by more than $16 million.

In 2014, the comedian reportedly sold his 6,280-square-foot Tribeca duplex to financier Parag Pande for $17.5 million. But, according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market value of only $1.882 million. The actual assessor valuation for property tax purposes was $847,174.

Records also show that Stewart paid property taxes based on that assessor valuation price — in other words, what he accused Trump of doing.

The report has inspired online mockery of Stewart.

I generally assume that the most egregious accounts on *all* sides are probably bots/trolls meant to cause division. I believe there was a study a couple of years ago, which means it's been long enough that I can't be sure, that showed this was likely.

I sure hope that's the case here, especially since it makes no sense for MAGA accounts to harass Pressler when Lara Trump just hired him (which had been recommended to Ronna for a couple of years now) to do GOTV work.

Dad had a dog like that when I was little. Unfortunately, a dog we boarded for a friend was a chicken killer and taught Bunny to do the same. Dad felt horrible when he had to put her down. He didn't have a dog for about 10 years after that, although Mom had a little white mop of an indoor dog, so we weren't dogless.

Fractured Indo-English!

Look. It's really simple. Aluminum would all spontaneously react with oxygen in the air to form that white, fluffy oxide, were it not for the fact that it is always coated with a thin film of hard, transparent oxide that protects it. Mercury will form an alloy with aluminum, called amalgam, that erases that hard layer of protective oxide, and the aluminum simply slowly burns up. Left unchecked, it would eventually eat a hole right through that plate.

I found a mess of spilled mercury once on a set of concrete stairs outdoors at my high school. Swept it all up, brought the mercury-laden dirt home, and panned it clean (like panning for gold!) in an old aluminum pan. The next day, that pan was covered in white whiskers, and riddled with tiny holes.

They used to use it in science class to coat pennies. It was also used to gild copper by dissolving gold in it and then letting it plate the copper mechanically.
That sort of gilding was used by navies because it was more enduring than electro-plating, and it was more traditional.

Thick Suqi

Joe Lieberman, Al Gore's vice presidential running mate and nearly a Republican vice-presidential candidate thanks to "maverick" adulterer and traitor John McCain, has died at age 82.

"Former United States Senator Joseph I. Lieberman died this afternoon, March 27, 2024, in New York City due to complications from a fall," his family said in a statement. "He was 82 years old. His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed."

So he died due to lingering injuries from a fall at age 82.

Biden is 81 and frequently falls or stumbles. And he just got brand new stability loungers.

Hm.

I wonder how long ago Lieberman fell. I wonder if his fall prompted them to put the Gum-Soled Boat Anchors on Rickety Joe.


A Church of England archdeacon has called for "smashing the patriarchy" and a campaign for "anti-whiteness."

Good to see they're really taking religion seriously in the CoE and that it's not just an employer of last resort for the talentless mentally-ill children of the upper middle class.

Guess what this archdeacon looks like? It's an AWFL, of course.

Illegal aliens may start taking the place of special needs US citizens in NYC schools.

A massive influx of illegal immigrant children in Manhattan schools may push a school for children with disabilities and special needs out of an academic building and into an "inadequate" site, according to a report from the New York Post.

The school, West Prep Academy, reportedly serves 170 students, which mainly include children with special needs. West Prep is being overrun by the enrollment at PS 145, which shares the same schoolhouse.

PS 145 has enrolled lots of illegal immigrant children, reportedly "flooding" the system. Reportedly, more than 30,000 migrant children have been sent to public schools in New York City in recent years.

"We're at a point where now parents are not feeling heard," one academy parent told The Post. "I see all of these parents expressing these real concerns for why this is not going to work for their kids.

NBC executives are afraid that declaring themselves to be a no-Republicans-allowed zone will cause Republicans to boycott them.

Mollie Hemingway has doubts:


Mollie
@MZHemingway

The Russia collusion lie, the Kavanaugh smear, the J6 hysteria, Biden sycophancy, rabid anti-GOP treatment on every issue were all fine but firing the single Republican on an otherwise all-Democrat staff after 48 hours of meltdown is too much? OK.


The GOP is hopelessly three-generations-ago. They are not just traditionalist in terms of morality and politics, but traditionalists in habit: We've always gone on NBC to get ripped by Chuck Todd before, so obviously we must continue honoring this masochistic tradition forever!

But anyway, Semafor says they wonder if Republicans will finally give NBC the finger.


NBC braces for the backlash to the backlash after hiring and firing top Republican
Hannah McKay

NBC News's dramatic hiring and firing of a former RNC chairwoman this week threatens to undo years of repositioning itself as friendly to Republican officials and viewers.

[W]hile the abrupt reversal was cheered by some MSNBC staff, other NBC News journalists said they believe the move will only continue to strengthen complaints by Republicans that the network doesn't want to hear their perspectives.
AD

Now, NBC staffers are bracing for Republican backlash, fielding texts from angry GOP sources.

"Political reporters here didn't take part in the backlash, nor did they get to give input on the hire," one NBC News journalist said. "But they'll be the ones who have to pick up the pieces with sources who are now dismayed with the organization."

Four NBC News staffers expressed concern that instead of fixing the problem, hiring and then firing McDaniel had only alienated liberal viewers while confirming Republican fears. Two Republican aides told Semafor they'd texted their NBC News contacts to express their anger with the decision.


The conflict over McDaniel threatens to reverse some of the gains that top network figures believed that it had made to establish some credibility with members of the Republican Party.

...

NBC did catch one break. McDaniel's lack of popularity among top members of her own party may not make her a true martyr among Republicans. Her former institution, the Republican National Committee declined to comment on her firing, and Trump himself posted a mocking tweet directed both at McDaniel and "weak" NBC. Said one senior Republican aide: "No one really cares about Ronna."

DougP at Twitchy catches some bloviating which no one believes:



Ari Fleischer
@AriFleischer

NBC should never get to host a GOP primary debate or townhall. GOP Senators/Congressmen should not go on Meet the Press. No NBC anchor should participate in a presidential debate.

What NBC is saying is if you're for Trump, you don't belong. Good. Let NBC be for Democrats only.


NBC was a prime conspirator in the plot to frame the president of the United States as a traitor under orders from Putin, and Republicans never thought before to boycott them.

But fire one establishment liberal grifter, and hoo boy, it's on now!


So NBC can't hire a partisan spokeswoman who once bent the truth?


Ted Cruz
@tedcruz

Chuck Todd was a Dem staffer.

Tim Russert was a Dem staffer.

George Stephanoupolos was a senior Dem WH staffer.

Jen Psaki was a senior Dem WH staffer.

But, NBC hired a Republican??!!?!

It's the end of the world.

Brain scans prove that dogs understand some words:


It's well-known that dogs can learn words for spoken commands like "sit," "stand" and "heel."

But a new study has found they also can tell their "ball-ball" from their "dolly," "teddy," "chewy" or "squeaky squeak."
Advertisement

Brain scans reveal that dogs generally know that certain words stand for certain objects, researchers reported Friday in the journal Current Biology.

Words "activate a memory of an object when they hear its name," researcher Marianna Boros of Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary, said in a news release.

For the study, researchers hooked 18 dogs up to an EEG, to see how deep each canine's understanding of language runs.

The dogs' owners would say words for toys that their dogs knew and then present objects to them -- sometimes the matching toy, sometimes another object.

For example, an owner would say, "Zara, look, the ball," and then show them a ball.

Brain recording results showed that patterns differed when dogs were offered a matching object versus a mismatched one, in ways similar to what is seen in humans. This is solid evidence that they understand the words, researchers said.

Fani Willis says she is the face of feminism.

I would say: The Resting Bitch Face of Feminism, sure.

She says that there's been an outpouring of support from sexually-frigid Affluent White Female Liberals who resent their husbands for providing them with a comfortable, indolent life:

"I told Jeff one day, I didn't think I was the face of the feminist movement, but somehow I became it. And I think that women feel like women are treated differently when they're professionals and they're proud to see someone that is strong and trying to do the right job," she said.

Woman who used taxpayer funds to pay her gigolo says that men are never harassed over their own sexual peccadilloes.

Does that sound stupid to you? #MeToo.

Amazing quotes from Milei:

Argentine President Javier Milei plans to fire 70,000 government workers in the coming months in one of the clearest signs yet of how the libertarian's chainsaw-style approach intends to slash the swollen state.

Beyond the job cuts, Milei boasted Tuesday at an event that he's frozen public works, cut off some funding to provincial governments and terminated more than 200,000 social welfare plans, which he labeled as corrupt. It's all part of his strategy to reach a fiscal balance at any cost this year.

"There's a lot of blender," Milei said in an hour long speech at the IEFA Latam Forum in Buenos Aires, referring to the erosion of wages and pensions by 276% annual inflation. "There's a lot more chainsaw."

I'd say it's that Morality itself comes from God, but parents are supposed to instill morals into their children by teaching them how to follow God's commands. Thus many today are, at best, amoral in that they are unaware there *are* higher rules to follow than "be nice".

62 Lieberman tried to defeat Obama in 08, single handedly cut the public option & was CURRENTLY working to elect trump. These are just facts. I'm trying to be respectful, but this can't be forgotten.

He was a registered independent. No tears here.

I can't help but think about how we'd be reacting if he hadn't turned away from us in such damaging ways, and wondering why he did it. I always found his metamorphosis perplexing.

Lieberman flipped because he lost the 2006 Democratic primary to Ned Lamont...and he killed the public option because he was beholding to the insurance lobby...and he was the precursor to Joe Manchin, so much so that John McCain wanted Joe Lieberman to be his running mate in 2008...he will not be missed.

His last political act was attacking Schumer last week. “While Mr. Schumer’s statement undoubtedly pleased American critics of Israel,” he wrote, “for the Israelis it was meaningless, gratuitous and offensive.”

I'll say something nice: He died before he could cast his vote for Trump in November.

It's always so absurd that any Democrat rule is sacrosanct to the GOP. Clear the rules and the personnel as viciously as needed until fair play is recognized again.

I didn’t do it. It helps that, as of 1947, TX schools (as far as I can tell, all of them) are open shops. Teacher’s unions absolutely exist in TX; membership (thankfully) is not required.

I won’t join a union because to take a paycheck from the taxpayer then join a union is immoral. Not to mention their penchant for taking dues money and spending it on places and causes that I am at odds with. And quite honestly I don’t see the point.

192 There was a guy on youtube that trained his dog to recognize over 1000 specific words. He bought the dog toys and gave them names. When he told the dog to go and get a specific toy the dog would do that. A TV reporter went and tried to fool the dog by hiding some toys and then asking for them. The dog figured it out.

Unfortunately that wont work. If you eliminate a civil service position with an employee that is not on probation you must find them an equivalent position at the same grade and step. That's basic civil service law.

The US government is not required to pay them a dime of any judgment they would get for a wrongful firing.
Trump could dare Congress to appropriate the funds; winning more of the public to him.
And still order Treasury to not issue payment.
The unions could strike--further alienating them from Americans-- and give Trump the opening to fire the rest.

It's not hard at all to get rid of them and not pay a dime.

I have a relative that faced the same dilemma that was ultra-conservative. She ended up joining because she didnt want to lose her life savings with a dumb lawsuit. Apparently, it was a real risk.

Hideous Elder-Abusing Crone Announcing That Keeping Gay Pornography Out of Children's Hands Is Nazi Germany All Over Again

Jill Biden, Joe Biden's nurse who occasionally lets the doddering old pervert smell her hair and suck on her toes, went to Florida to say that if you're not a groomer pedophile who likes plying young children with gay pornography, you're a damned Nazi.

Quoting the Daily Mail:

'Before World War Two, I'm told, Berlin was the center of LGBTQ culture in Europe. One group of people loses their rights and then another, and then another, until one morning you wake up and you no longer live in a democracy.'

It's all about forcing people to pretend that transgender men are women:

That's literally all they care about. That, and indoctrinating children into being gay.

Say, why didn't the "vigorous," sprightly Joe Biden, who has so much energy that his 30something staffers can't keep up with them, make the trip to Florida himself?

Just kidding, he's a barely sentient vegetable who can only be kept upright by placing heavy sheets of lead inside his comically-thick lounge booties.

1 Willowed, and dragging it over here.

Does the Illinois parole board have a DEI chair?


Dunno. But it needs a fucking electric chair, that's for sure.

And for me to make that statement required a massive, MASSIVE ethical shift. I have always, always, always opposed the death penalty on the grounds that I don't trust the State that much.

Killed in the act by the victim or bystander? Good. Get dead.

Waiting 20 years on a conviction I'd rate as - at best - probable, and then being put to sleep the way we put down the dogs we so dearly love? Nope. No chance, paddles, no chance. I just can't trust the government enough to give them power over life and death in such a direct way. Not with the FBI Crime Lab Liars and the Unreliable Eyewitnesses. I've seen the government frame too many people without repercussion to be on board with letting that same government kill people for crimes it says they committed.

Now, though, I'm changing my position. I'm beginning to disagree with the idea that it's better to have a dozen guilty go free than to have one innocent in prison.

That innocent is starting to seem like the Cost of Doing Business, and I hate the left for making me consider it.

47 These people know what they're doing, but I heard someone the other day talking about this as an off-hand comment, and the narrative is "not letting students hear about gay."

The perception appears to be this is about older students, and there is absolutely no hint these people who don't pay attention to this stuff, have any idea this includes hard core child pornography. Which is does.

Generally, once ANYONE discovers the truth, they're outraged and appalled.

So in other words, this c**t knows, and she's intentionally misleading people about exposing elementary school kids to hard core gay pedophelic pornography.

Doesn't get much more evil than that.

That's not what got him. What got him was him saying it was essentially common practice.

And the reason everyone got the vapors about it, is because it's true. And as needs to be clarified ALL THE TIME when talking about this stuff, we're not talking about pre-adolescent children. Generally, Milo and others are talking about grooming mid to late teens.

Not exactly pure innocents. People don't like to hear that, but it's just true. You may not approve, and you shouldn't, but it's happening. Much much MUCH more commonly among gay teen males than heteros.

137 First Lady goes to bat for LGBTQ+ rights: 'They want to take our victories away, but we won’t let them'. Amidst a backdrop of protest and advocacy, Dr. Jill Biden highlights the ongoing battle for LGBTQ+ rights and remembers LGBTQ+ teen Nex Benedict.

Biden highlighted the adversity facing the community, particularly its younger members. She discussed the story of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old transgender sophomore of Indigenous heritage in Oklahoma, whose tragic death highlighted the devastating impact of bullying and discrimination.

Biden celebrated the victories achieved in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights...“Thanks to President Biden, marriage equality is now the law of the land. He ended the ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood. He’s made it possible for trans Americans to serve openly, honorably in the military. And he’s standing firmly against conversion therapy.

The evening also faced moments of disruption. As Biden took the stage, her address was briefly interrupted by a group of protesters voicing concerns over the Israel-Hamas war. The protesters, advocating for a ceasefire, were quickly escorted out as supporters chanted, “Four more years!”

It's a theory I have. It is probably not a popular theory, but here goes.

-women's sex drive is different than a dudes. It can be there, but it's more... conditional than a dudes.

-renewal of physical intimacy is vital to a romantic relationship's well being.

-gay dudes fall down because while they fuck like rabbits, they are not establishing physical 'intimacy' but using the other dude as a tarted up fleshlight. Often, not all, blah blah.

-gay women fall down because often, since both are waiting for their partner to satisfy the conditionals, they do not quite make the connection that SOMEONE has to initiate.

Nope. If you promote murder and depravity because you think it would be mean not to, you are still promoting murder and depravity.

But if you don't know why someone is doing something, it's harder to come up with an argument to get them to stop. The reality is that these women have no morals because they haven't been taught to have any. You can't argue with someone about how moral something is when they think judging the morality of an action means whether or not something makes somebody feel bad.

They are part of our natural law, which has been twisted and subverted by our twisted and subverted culture.

If you start with a young kid you can convince them that serial killing is just fine, in fact if you are serial killing say, Jews, to grab a random group out of a hat, you are a hero.

You can also convince women, who should love, care for, and desire to have and protect children, that it's okay to tear them limb from limb if they come at an inopportune time.

I'd say it's that Morality itself comes from God, but parents are supposed to instill morals into their children by teaching them how to follow God's commands. Thus many today are, at best, amoral in that they are unaware there *are* higher rules to follow than "be nice".

259 Then where do morals come from if they have to be taught?

What is your answer?

Mine: morals come from God but are not naturally, completely, or readily available to man because of The Fall. So, Godly morals need to be taught by those to strive to follow God.

Good, bad, or indifferent morals are taught through influences in society: parents, churches, schools, media, entertainment.

If parents want their children to follow their morals, their influence on their children needs to be stronger than the other influences in their lives.

Illinois Parole Board Lets Criminal Out of Prison Despite His Menacing a Mother With a Child; The Day After He's Set Free, He Attacks the Mother and Kills the Child

The 11-year-old boy was trying to protect his mom from this dangerous criminal, so the murderer stabbed him to death.

An 11-year-old Chicago boy died Wednesday as he tried to protect his pregnant mother from her knife-wielding ex-boyfriend who was released from prison a day earlier.

Crosetti Brand, 37, is accused of stabbing the boy in the chest and the 33-year-old woman before he was arrested for the heinous killing of Jayden Perkins, according to the Chicago Police Department.

Brand had been paroled Tuesday from the Stateville Correctional Center, where he was serving a 16-year sentence for home invasion and aggravated assault.


He forced his way into his ex-girlfriend's home in Edgewater, Ill. and "brutally attacked" the family, Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said during a Friday press conference.

The 33-year-old mother of two was leaving with her children to take them to school at around 8 a.m. when Brand attacked.

The 11-year-old boy stepped in to shield his mother, who was stabbed in the doorway of their home, from the deranged criminal.

Snelling also noted that the woman's "5-year-old son was also present and witnessed the attack."

The mother and son were rushed to the hospital after officers arrived on the scene to find them both stabbed "multiple times."

Here is -- was -- Jayden Perkins, the brave boy who died protecting his mother. Here is the next victim of The Democrat Party Murder Cult:

jeromerip.jpg

Two members of the parole board have now resigned.

But the murdered child has not been resurrected.


Illinois parole board resigns following release of child's killer


Quick Hit:

The chair and a member of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board have resigned following the murder of 11-year-old Jayden Perkins by a recently paroled convict. The resignations come amid public outrage over the board's decision to release the perpetrator, Crosetti Brand, who committed the crime less than 24 hours after his release.

Key Details:

Board chair Donald Shelton and board member LeAnn Miller resigned on Monday following the murder of Jayden Perkins.

Crosetti Brand, the parolee, allegedly ambushed and killed Jayden and attacked his mother, Laterria Smith, less than a day after his release.

Despite Laterria Smith's request for a protection order against Brand, the board approved his parole, leading to the tragic incident.

Diving Deeper:

The incident has sparked widespread outrage, particularly as Smith had sought a protection order against Brand just a month prior to the incident. Brand, who was serving a 16-year sentence for home invasion and aggravated assault, was granted parole on March 12th. The attack on Smith and her son occurred just hours before a scheduled hearing about the protection order.

Both the Illinois Department of Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board claimed they were unaware of the protection order hearing. However, emails obtained by CBS 2 indicated that the Department of Corrections had knowledge of the hearing as early as February 22nd.

Update: Jayden at his dance school.

The Democrat Party wants to fucking kill you. It's the party of murderers, thieves, groomers and pedophiles.

For more evidence of this: Minnesota's terrorist-sympathizing, antifa-supporting AG, Keith Ellison, says that we have to prosecute the real criminals responsible for vehicle theft.

No, not the carjackers and thieves themselves. They're Democrat voters, or rather, they will be Democrat voters when Democrat ballot harvesters request ballots in their names and vote for them.


No, the real criminals are auto manufacturers who have made their cars just "too tempting" to steal and an "attractive nuisance" hypnotizing young Democrat Scholars into stealing them.

He rejects the idea of prosecuting the "downstream" criminals -- that is, the actual criminals.

He says we have to go "upstream" to the root causes of the crime. By which he means car makers making their cars too sweet to resist stealing.


"But we have to go upstream, and we got to make sure that the automobiles are not so easy to steal that they are a tempting, attractive nuisance for young people. Right now we are investigating two major automakers because their cars are dramatically too easy to steal for young people," he claimed.

They're not "dramatically too easy" to steal. However, all vehicles, being expensive property which is, by design, self-propelled expensive property," are relatively easy to steal. Cars must have windows, and windows are easily broken. All locks are easily defeatable.

Cars are valuable property which supply their own getaway vehicle.

This is by design.

Traditionally people don't steal cars because of the threat of prison, but the Democrat Party has eliminated that as a possible consequence.

So now car makers must remove windows from cars, I guess.

How will drivers see?

That's on them. That's not Keith Ellison's area of expertise.

He's an expert in Being an Aggrieved Minority, and that's all the expertise any expert needs.


"We have to go upstream on crime and not just say we are going to only deal with the criminals, the people on the street. There are a lot of people involved in the chain of criminality, starting sometimes for people who are members of the country club, resulting in tragic circumstances for victims on the street," he continued.

Fuck you, filthy criminal scumbag and traitor.

112 "But we have to go upstream, and we got to make sure that the automobiles are not so easy to steal that they are a tempting, attractive nuisance for young people. Right now we are investigating two major automakers because their cars are dramatically too easy to steal for young people," he claimed.
++++
That would be Hyundai/Kia, where several model years of vehicles are in fact very easy to steal due to a design flaw combined with common kitted vehicle configurations.

But I don't think that qualifies as "attractive nuisance." They were not designed to be easy to steal, they *happen* to be easy to steal, and the manufacturer redesigned the component (the ignition, IIRC) when it came to light that this was becoming a serious problem.

Hyundai/Kia has a downright bad design. That is true. The explosion in car theft is not Hyundai/Kia's fault, however. That is the fault of the criminals, and the fault of malicious and evil men in government who have removed all consequences from those individuals, and radically shifted their cost/benefit (or risk/reward, if you prefer) analyses of the decision to steal a car.

124 But I don't think that qualifies as "attractive nuisance."

As was pointed out above, attractive nuisance isn't really intended to apply to adults.

Wiki: The attractive nuisance doctrine applies to the law of torts in some jurisdictions. It states that a landowner may be held liable for injuries to children trespassing on the land if the injury is caused by an object on the land that is likely to attract children.

137 Aljazeera Press, otherwise known as the AP has a completely idiotic article up that is laugh out loud bad:

"Donald Trump assails judge and his daughter!" screams an evidently emotionally distraught lefty man-child named Mike Sisak for AP. Um, turns out the judge's daughter is a grown women and a DNC political consultant and she posted a photo-shopped image of Trump behind bars after her father ruled the trial will go forward in April. This, alone, is dismissal material...the judge in this case, Merchan, evidently knew about his daughters "pants down twerking" maneuver and tried to straight jacket Trump with a gag order to prevent this from blowing up...

I think Merchan is in for a smack down...

Marsy's Law for Illinois, formally called the Illinois Crime Victims' Bill of Rights, amended the 1993 Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act by establishing additional protections for crime victims and their families.

Location: Illinois

Ballotpedia also suggested.

Lots of analysis today of his VP pick Nicole Shanahan.

Two points:

1) Her selection points to K targeting Biden more than Trump, because she's an enviro lefty. Hard to imagine GOP voters who dislike Trump voting Kennedy/Shanahan.

2) Less noted is that K needs her money in order to gain ballot access. That hasn't been going well for him at all. The DEMs are challenging his nominating petitions right down to the granular level. They already got him kicked off in NV.

Shanahan is half Asian, btw. Quite attractive a few years ago, although I've never been afflicted with Rice Fever myself.

There was once quite a comprehensive link as to just what Antifa was/is. It has been disappeared down the memory hole.
Antifa was a Communist Front organization founded by Joe Stalin (thanks Uncle Joe! - FDR) to fight "fascism" in Germany post The Great War, because the Bolsheviks on the street weren't winning.
From time to time in the 1920's, the Frei Corp (organized military vets from WWI) would have street fights with "Antifa" and other Bolsheviks. Sometimes the death toll was in the hundreds. Parts of the Frei Corp became part of the SA, then the SS.
The Black Block or Antifa (in Europe) is still quite a feared organization, when they show up at demonstrations. And remember, our emasculated European "Cousins" generally don't have firearms.

Another controversial appointee of Pritzker’s was Oreal James, who Plummer said voted to release multiple cop killers.
Another controversial appointee of Pritzker’s was Eleanor Kaye Wilson, the god-mother to former President Barack Obama’s daughters."

--------------------

I felt the same way when Obama won in '08 even after the Rev Wright sermons had so many headlines. And after how viral the Black Panther twirling the baton at the Philly polling location in 2012 went, and Obama kept winning. But then Trump won in '16. Can't tell what the lesson is, but best guess is white guilt is a helluva drug, and a lot of non-Republicans really hate Hillary...

230 Hershey's Ordered To Pay Obese Americans $135 Billion

HERSHEY, PA–In one of the largest product-liability rulings in U.S. history, the Hershey Foods Corporation was ordered by a Pennsylvania jury Monday to pay $135 billion in restitution fees to 900,000 obese Americans who for years consumed the company's fattening snack foods.

"For over a century, Hershey's has lived off the fat of the land," Erie, PA, claimant Pamela Schiff said. "Now it's time to pay us back."

Dunno. But it needs a fucking electric chair, that's for sure.

And for me to make that statement required a massive, MASSIVE ethical shift. I have always, always, always opposed the death penalty on the grounds that I don't trust the State that much.

Killed in the act by the victim or bystander? Good. Get dead.

Waiting 20 years on a conviction I'd rate as - at best - probable, and then being put to sleep the way we put down the dogs we so dearly love? Nope. No chance, paddles, no chance. I just can't trust the government enough to give them power over life and death in such a direct way. Not with the FBI Crime Lab Liars and the Unreliable Eyewitnesses. I've seen the government frame too many people without repercussion to be on board with letting that same government kill people for crimes it says they committed.

Now, though, I'm changing my position. I'm beginning to disagree with the idea that it's better to have a dozen guilty go free than to have one innocent in prison.

That innocent is starting to seem like the Cost of Doing Business, and I hate the left for making me consider it.

Though sentenced to 16years, with a Gun Crime modified sentence, he had only served 8 years.

Joe Biden Tells Security to Let Anti-Israel Protesters Heckle Him: "They Have a Point."

Once again, he panders to the Jihad Chorus and tells security to allow an obviously-Arab woman continue rating about Israel, and then says "They have a point."

Money-Men from Michigan control our elections, you know. It's all about the Benjamins -- and the ballot-harvesting from illegal aliens from the Middle East.

Millennial Moron Donkey-Chompers called Israel's defensive war against terrorists "a genocide."

From the Times of Israel:

"If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes," the New York Times quotes her as saying in an appeal for US President Joe Biden to suspend aid to Israel. "It looks like the forced famine of 1.1 million innocents. It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away."

As I noted last week, those numbers are all made up, and provably so. Hamas' "death count" simply does not behave the way real data collected from the real world behaves.

The ADL, which used to be an organization devoted to protecting Jews from discrimination and defamation but which is now just another progressive defamation shop in a beanie, very weakly objected to AOC -- they know damn well that the Democrat Party which funds them is pro-AOC and pro-Hamas.

Check out the tepidness of this response to a claim that Jews have become genocidal Nazis:


ADL
@ADL

Genocide requires intent. And Israel has been patently clear with its objectives: To cripple Hamas terrorists & release the hostages. @AOC's accusation lacks proper factual or legal foundation. Such statements merely perpetuate false claims & foster hate.

Whoa, you gave it to her with both barrels filled with corks. It's not genocide because there's no "intent" -- sure a genocide is happening, but Israel skates by on the technicality that, like Joe Biden, they are incapable of forming the mental state of inteng.

And "AOC's accusation lacks proper factual or legal foundation" -- whoa, that's some tough stuff. It sounds like Ben Shapiro arguing with his wife about which doilies should go on the side-tables.

Meanwhile: a freed captive describes her repeated rapes by Hamas.

Here was her abduction -- literally carried off as a spoil of war for repeated rape by savages.


From the NYT:

Ms. Soussana said she was held alone in a child's bedroom, chained by her left ankle. Sometimes, the guard would enter, sit beside her on the bed, lift her shirt and touch her, she said.

He also repeatedly asked when her period was due. When her period ended, around Oct. 18, she tried to put him off by pretending that she was bleeding for nearly a week, she recalled.

Around Oct. 24, the guard, who called himself Muhammad, attacked her, she said.

Early that morning, she said, Muhammad unlocked her chain and left her in the bathroom. After she undressed and began washing herself in the bathtub, Muhammad returned and stood in the doorway, holding a pistol.

"He came towards me and shoved the gun at my forehead," Ms. Soussana recalled during eight hours of interviews with The New York Times in mid-March. After hitting Ms. Soussana and forcing her to remove her towel, Muhammad groped her, sat her on the edge of the bathtub and hit her again, she said.

He dragged her at gunpoint back to the child's bedroom, a room covered in images of the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants, she recalled.

"Then he, with the gun pointed at me, forced me to commit a sexual act on him," Ms. Soussana said.

Oh no! Hamas rapists might have to skip breakfast a few days a week! How terrible! Where will they get their Rape and Murder Energy from if not at breakfast, the most important rape meal of the day?

Gazans are so hungry they're putting their noses up at American MREs!

This last video is, I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear, more Hamas propaganda. The man is showing the side-crap they give you with the meal, not the actual meal.

Psst: People who are actually experiencing a "genocide" by mass starvation do not play Food Critics and turn their noses up at packages containing 2000 calories and 100 grams of protein.

So she obviously doesn't know what she's talking about.

My thing is though, who's keeping track of these things? What constitutes a "genocide?" We keep hearing Israel is committing one, but based on what data, what information?

If there's a legal definition, and you have data showing it to be so, bring it.

Otherwise, you're just spewing propaganda.

Hamas are watching Biden closely, and all of Biden's actions are telling Hamas to hold out. Don't capitulate. Don't release hostages. This demented degenerate is costing lives and prolonging the hellish experience of any poor hostage still in Hamas' custody.

75 "Meanwhile: a freed captive describes her repeated rapes by Hamas."

By Hamas? How do we know it was by Hamas and not "civilian" Gazan animals? One of the strange things (at least to me) about this whole abomination is that Israeli hostages were not held in some confined jail or area like you'd expect. They were sent to individual Gazan homes and that's where many of the sexual atrocities occurred. I suspect at least some of these homes were Gazan "civilians."

"The situation in Gaza is obviously a global disgrace, 32,000 people dead, on top of the thousand people that were killed on October the 7th...the U.N. Security Council not being vetoed by the U.S.A. is a testament to the strength of all those that have demonstrated all over the world in support of the Palestinian people to demand a permanent, full ceasefire.

The British government eventually voted for the Ramadan ceasefire, which is good, which is a step forward. And that’s only because of the sense of political pressure in Britain. We’ve had now 10 national demonstrations, and we’ve got another one on Saturday. We are an enormous growing force of people that want to see peace and want to see the withdrawal of Israeli troops, an end to the occupation, and justice for the Palestinian refugees.

Shapiro polices the right about as much as he polices the left. He also has TERRIBLE instincts for any situation or information that is outside of standard Conservative orthodoxy.

Shapiro has two big problems, in my estimation:

1- he talks a conservative game, but ends up supporting Establishment goals, priorities and tactics. Whether it's for access, ads...whatever, he ends up being very safe and "conservative", supporting the Republican Party over conservative base principles

2- he viciously hamstrings and hinders other independent conservative commentators, either trying to absorb and control them through his network, or branding them as "undesirables" through various accusations, shunning them through his AND OTHER media outlets. He puts his business ahead of the good of conservative values and success. The outlets he DOES get along with, and collaborate with (The Blaze)...well, birds of a feather...

Bonus- he gets famous for dunking on clueless college kids and retards like Cenk Uyger. That's like me bragging about being a great fighter by showing clips of me beating up middle schoolers.

161 Shapiro polices the right about as much as he polices the left. He also has TERRIBLE instincts for any situation or information that is outside of standard Conservative orthodoxy. He can argue wonderfully about why abortion is bad, but fought tooth and nail against the most conservative POTUS we've had since Reagan even well after it became obvious to almost everyone else Trump was governing mostly conservatively.

They take lots of video of sheets covering bodies, and occasionally when a kid dies they drag out the poor dear's mangled corpse to shake it at the camera. There have been multiple instances where the camera catches a live person peeking out from under one of those shrouds. So the "proof" is video of a shroud and Hamas will gladly hand you a death certificate, backed by their word as a Muslim that person really existed and wasn't a soldier.

201 The problem with Ben Shapiro is that he's too Ben Shapiro. He's obviously a smart guy, but for a supposed conservative he's always fighting alongside the establishment and usually against true conservatism. He was a big supporter of vax mandates and other covid fascism. He was borderline NeverTrump.

He has a very strong financial interest in promoting things that the establishment approves of. So I'm not sure his squeamishness in the face of the establishment's disapproving gaze is the result of ideology or just financial self-interest. But either way, the result is the same.

Yes, he's only beating up on college idiots and people like Cenk. But there is an important function of it. Other college kids hear things from Shapiro they never heard from any of their teachers or Reddit or parents. A fairly rigorous defense of conservative ideas. Many of them WANT to defend these ideas, but don't really know how. It's like what Rush and Hannity did for adults 20+ years ago. They helped clarify and refine these positions in listener's heads.

246 Sorry, but when it comes to Gazans starving to death, I just don't care.

They had all the opportunities in the world to become a self-sufficient nation when Israel withdrew from their territory, complete with state-of-the art greenhouses.

The first thing they did was destroy the greenhouses. Then the dug up the pipes to use them as rockets.

They prefer to kill Jews rather than eat.

Let them starve.

The big concern around the Jewish population isn't their vote. As you say, they're mostly confined to blue enclaves with no chance of changing results.

The big concern is their money. There was a report that some classification of Jews made up 50% of some classification all donations to Democrats.

How that actually folds out (to the DNC? how do they define Jewish?) beside the point, that's a lot of money to worry about. That Democrats are seemingly abandoning that either means that they're not abandoning it at all and Jewish money is okay with the Muslim "outreach" or Democrats have replaced the Jewish money with some other source.

I've seen lefties debate Peterson and when they aren't just trying to attack him he will try to make an emotional connection to support his argument. This can be VERY effective and actually soften, if not change, opinions.

I'm not sure that's entirely obvious. With the ADL being all mealy-mouthed about the accusation of genocide, I'd say that monied Jewish donors may very well view appeasing Muslims as necessary.

Their religion is progressivism, not Jewishness, remember.

I don't know for sure if it's true, but I'd say there's a good enough chance of it to be true that I simply wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

One research coined the term "democide" for mass murder by governments of their own citizens. Some cases of this are genocide like Germany and the Jews, other aren't like the communists in Cambodia killed a third of their people, and some are mixed like the communists in the USSR that definitely targeted Ukrainians but not really because of their 'race'.

358 "Heckle" from wikipedia:


"Although the word heckler, which originated from the textile trade, was first attested in the mid-15th century, its use as "person who harasses" is from 1885. To heckle was to tease or comb out flax or hemp fibers. The additional meaning, to interrupt speakers with awkward or embarrassing questions, was first used in Scotland, and specifically in early 19th century Dundee, a town where the hecklers who combed the flax had established a reputation as the most belligerent element in the workforce. In the heckling factory, one heckler would read out the day's news while the others worked, to the accompaniment of interruptions and furious debate."

1. "Palestine" was a British declared territory in the region with no actual ties to anything to constitute it being a genetic source.

2. No one wants the violent pack of militant feral assholes of Arab decent, so if they happen to be eradicated, there are still plenty of Arabs out there, so THERE'S NO GENOCIDE.

400 Why I dislike Shapiro:

1.) some unnamed billionaire backstopped the ad revenues for his syndicated show. When ConInc puts up big money to flood the zone with your content, that is a very, very, very bad sign.

2.) even after the FBI *admitted* to spying on the Trump campaign, he kept SHRIEKING that anyone who said that was a conspiracy theorist. Just one example of him lying baldfaced about anything to do with Trump.

I know a kept man when I see one. Guys like him can't go back to pre-2015 when it was so easy for media cucks to bamboozle everyone.

409 Biden perfected over the decades changing political and policy positions as if he was always for what was most helpful to him maintaining his political power and/or winning an election. He got away with the mostly because who in the hell remembered what this shit bird said 10 years ago in detail and besides it was difficult tracking down all previous bullshit. That has radically changed due to the Internet, reporters bringing up all his bullshit and then disseminating it via social media platforms like Twitter, which in turn get baked into hardtack at publications like Ace of Spades.

He is still operating under that old paradigm, the expectation that he can get away unscathed by lying, smearing, and brawling about who or what stands in his way. The added juice concentrate to this toxic cocktail is he is now doing this under the effects of full blown dementia that leaves his brain pounding on his most deeply ingrained habits and practices. He was always the epitome of an empty suit and today nothing has changed except he can't run beyond his history anymore.

Yes he never EVER mentions the main course. He also tosses the very important thing in the bag - the meal heater. He acts as if he doesn't know what it is - while speaking decent English and demonstrating he could read the very clear instructions on the bag.

Oh, and the humanitarian meals are either vegetarian or halal meat. No way he could complain about that.
