Department of Education Investigates Minnesota's Use of "Trans Dolls" with Swappable Genitalia to Promote Transgenderism to Young Children

I think it's time to simply eject Minnesota from the United States. It's a diseased appendage that must be cut off to save the rest of the body.

It just gets worse and worse every single day.

The Department of Education is investigating the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) over the potential use of transgender dolls in schools. The investigation was launched Wednesday in response to complaints about "MyGender Dolls," a product designed to encourage transgenderism through the use of toy dolls.

Earlier this week, controversy erupted after multiple outlets reported that transgender dolls with interchangeable genitalia would be debuting in Minnesota classrooms this fall, funded by taxpayer dollars. The dolls reportedly originated as a University of Minnesota project through its medical school, which receives $15 million in state funding. An undisclosed amount is also dispersed to its Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, which has a total budget of $1.4 million. The dolls became a marketable product, called MyGender Dolls, marketed to "professionals who support trans and gender diverse children in clinical and educational settings."

The Department of Education is investigating to ensure the MDE is in compliance with the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), which restricts federal funding for schools that force students to engage in activities forcing them "to submit to a survey, analysis, or evaluation" on their "sex behavior or attitudes." The amendment is targeted at preventing schools from hiding name and pronoun changes from parents, as well as transition plans. A complaint filed by parents through Defending Education prompted the federal investigation by highlighting potential violations of multiple federal policies.

...

[Secretary of Education Linda] McMahon continued, saying, "No four-year-old should be exposed to such material -- especially without a parent's knowledge or consent. ED will enforce the law to its fullest extent, putting parents and families firmly in the driver's seat of their child's education."

Emily Buss, the Communications Director for Minnesota's Department of Education, disputes the claim about the dolls being used in schools, calling it "patently false." "The paper-cutout dolls will not be implemented in Minnesota K-12 public schools. They are intended for use by licensed professionals and clinicians. This is a University of Minnesota-led initiative, and the Minnesota Department of Education is not involved," she said.

That's a lie. Adult "clinicians" do not play with paper dolls in order to understand sex change operations. The paper dolls are designed to be used to show to children.

And the MyGender Dolls website admits this:


The MyGender Dolls website explicitly states that the dolls are a "first-of-their-kind therapeutic play approach designed for gender diverse children ages 4--10."

31 MN should be traded for Alberta. Or we need a border wall.

This insanity spews from them and other blue states.

I have two sons. They were not interested in being girls, ever. About 15yrs ago, in a public school in FL, there was a "trend" of girls experimenting being lesbian or trans. It goes back that far in a red state.

My 8yr old grandson knows he's a boy and is fine with it. His 5yr old insane sister is fine with being a girl. Neither needed dolls with genitalia to play with or figure out what they were.

I didn't know about freaking ovaries and a uterus til 4th grade when I got dragged to a "hygiene" class with my mother. Missing Red Skelton as it was a Tuesday night. I got NOTHING from it, the book, or the giant box of Kotex which mother showed me in her closet. NOTHING.

Yet children, today, in public (pubic?) skools are being taught this in kindergarten! Later how to masturbate. Or to put a condom on a banana.

My grands go to a conservative Catholic private school and I will be in jail if one is ever harmed by anyone. Do not get me started on perv priests as there are pervs everywhere and our huge parish would not condone it.

Demons walk this earth to harm children.

I can't help but wonder what happens when a critical mass of parents fully check out on public schools. Given the collapsing birth rate, a bunch of them will need to be closed, and childless people are going to sour on paying for empty buildings. Women who have been raised to hate pregnancy and regard children as burdens aren't going to renew that school millage.

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

As for affirmation, people at the coffeehouse were pretty laissez-faire. "Oh, he's just getting in touch with his feminine side."

***********
I should feel sorry for them but I don't. When youngest was 1.5yrs old I started back to work on Saturdays as a RN (before I had to take classes for the license). Their father had the chimps for my shift and it worked out well. My career, always around my boys and mostly part time, did really well for 32yrs. No regrets in not getting my MS degree to be an ARNP or director of a floor. Nope!

The grand slam of motherhood, to me, is being a grandmother. It is simply the best of everything.

My exBFnotF aborted at least 2 babies for her career (lawyuh). Later, in her mid-40's she decided she wanted a baby. Tried IVF. Eggs too old. Tried to talk one of her sisters into surrogacy and that did not work out (fortunately).

First of all she's a narcissist who would have been a horrible mother. She resented her baby sisters that I adored (for starters). She's mean as a snake and alienated her entire family, friends and mentally abused her elderly parents. Her child would have been a mess.

The perv priests was very much a function of the time. Since the new protocols went into place, it's not much of an issue. Public schools are far, far more dangerous.

One could argue that things have gone too far because priests are now removed from ministry without any opportunity to defend themselves - they are presumed guilty and have to prove their innocence, and of course malicious actors do this just to mess with them.

One of the many things on Pope Leo's plate.

My online identity has been "non-binary" since before the term was even invented. I myself am "transgender" in the sense of "existing outside the concept of gender." I should be considered a pioneer of the transgender movement, but no, instead they ignore. I demand acknowledgement and affirmation!

"An autistic first grader was suspended from school after biting his sandwich into the shape of a gun and pointing it at a classmate during lunch,

John was previously suspended for pointing a bottle of water at someone and making gun noises and also punished for drawing a pilgrim shooting a turkey,

Since 2023, John has been disciplined at least 33 times, including 14 suspensions, for incidents like kicking and punching a student at recess, according to school records obtained by the outlet."

Posted by: Ben Had


My exposé of his "reading list" was the most explosive report I ever did. So explsive that I had to get it published on other website under pseudonyms.

"Fisting" was the least of it. He actively promoted pedophilia, with books (aimed at kids) filled with X-rated descriptions of how great it is to be turned gay by being molested by an adult pervert. It as (and remains) completely mind-boggling, so grotesque that normal people just turn away rather than confront it.

Recently my dude laughed about me being asked to the "After Party" of a Jethro Tull concert. By the bass player, sending a roadie. The first 5 rows were invited & I was leaving. My friends said no to the roadie and I left with them & my brother.

I honestly thought it was just to party. My husband said, well, no, not completely. I argued they were nice guys (from what I read) and he, patiently after almost 50yrs, said, "What do you think he wanted?" Oh. Well I would have said no. He gave up at this point & we went to bed.

"Trans" Man Beats Mother to Death With Hammer

Coming to a girls locker room near you.

But how could you keep him out of a women's locker room? As you can see from the photos that run with that story, he looks exactly like a woman. It's uncanny!


The only way to check his gender would be to forcibly reach down his pants, AOC tells me. You can't tell from his masculine ugly face nor from his five o'clock shadown nor from from his male-pattern obesity. No only invasive "genital checks" could possibly reveal his actual sex.



A transitioning son accused of killing his mother inside a Laguna Beach home bludgeoned her to death with a hammer -- with the alleged murderer's grandmother discovering the bloody aftermath, authorities said.

Police responded to the rental home of Safford James Wolfson, 36, around 11 a.m. on July 20 after Wolfson's grandma entered the residence and found blood-spattered floors and smashed furniture, prosecutors revealed.

Investigators said Wolfson's grandmother first found Wolfson lying on the floor covered in blood before discovering the body of Angela Caprioli, 61, in a bedroom with severe blunt-force injuries to her head and face.


Wolfson's grandmother called 911, with cops and medics arriving and taking Wolfson to the hospital with self-inflicted injuries to his neck.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Wolfson faces murder charges as well as a felony enhancement for using a deadly weapon.

"It is heartbreaking to think that someone could so violently end the life of the very person who gave them life," Spitzer said.

Wolfson is currently being held in lieu of $1 million bail. His arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 1 in Orange County.

...

Neighbor Dustin Pettit told The California Post that he witnessed Wolfson and Caprioli involved in a tense argument at the home before the alleged killing.

"I saw her outside talking with him and it seemed like a pretty hostile conversation," he said.

"She turned around and went inside and slammed the door, like she was fed up with whatever was going on. I was like, 'What the hell is going on here?'"

I don't understand -- I was insistently informed that "gender affirming care" cured the myriad mental illnesses that "trans" people have. And yet... they seem to get worse, not better.

It's a real mystery no one can solve because No One Is Allowed to Solve It.

Resercher/reporter Andy Ngo did a book about the Zizian Trans Murder Cult and finds that parricide is alarmingly common in people supposedly cured of mental illness through the Miracle of "gender affirming medicine.

Andy Ngo
@MrAndyNgo

Parricide--the killing of one's parents--is a recurring theme I found in my years of reporting on trans violence.

Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the Zizian trans death cult, where it was elevated to a religious-like tenet. Members believed it was righteous--even a duty--to take revenge against "transphobic" parents.

Pre-order my true-crime investigation here: https://hachettebookgroup.com/titles/andy-ng
o/the-zizians/9780316599030/


Last year, Collin "Mia" Bailey was convicted of m--rdering his parents in Utah. He is one of many, many trans people who have killed their parents.

Bailey blamed his mother for allegedly interfering with his planned trans surgery. He believed she contacted the hospital to warn staff that he had serious issues requiring attention. As revenge, he decided to kill his entire family--even though he admitted his father had supported him.

After fatally shooting his mother and father, Bailey also fired into his brother's bedroom but narrowly missed.

On social media, trans activists praised Bailey and called for his release. "Free Mia," they wrote.

For trans radicals, parricide is not merely excused--it is socially validated. They encourage one another to stockpile firearms, "bash back," and kill "transphobes."

Their ideology casts biological family as an obstacle to be replaced with a new "family" of fellow "dolls." http://ngocomment.com


I'm telling you, this "gender-affirming medicine" is something else. It's a Doctor Strange reality-warping spell in a pill.

Reminds me of a joke...

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband,
“Please be gentle, I’m still a virgin.”
“What?” said the puzzled groom.
“How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?”
“Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he’d look into it and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn’t get the system up.

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

And yes, raping male travelers unfortunate enough to stay in the city is just as bad if you do it collectively as if you do it individually...

But the point is that every adult male in the city was getting together to rape male travelers to the city, preferentially and to the point of entirely rejecting the idea of raping a woman instead.

The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, according to biblical and historical interpretations, was a combination of extreme inhospitality, grave sexual violence (attempted rape of angels), pride, and neglect of the poor.

The Navy gave my wife a $hit ton of hormones when she found out she had tumors and fibroids in her uterus in an attempt to shrink them, that was a living nightmare and after about three months she refused to take them any longer.


Dosing people with large amounts of hormones of any kind is wrong and will jack your body and your brain completely up. It's no wonder these kids are going on killing sprees.

163 The number of children and teens presenting with "gender dysphoria" has been exploding. They tell us this is *not* social contagion, but that these cases were always there but suppressed due to lack of social acceptance. They also tell us that without affirmation, these patients are on a sure path to suicide.

But if both these things were true, those supposedly closeted cases of gender dysphoria should have accounted for ~ALL of youth suicides twenty or thirty years ago*, and we should now be seeing a historically unprecedented near-eradication of the same.

Let's check if that's the case... NOPE, rather the opposite in fact, and the studied incuriosity of the mental health community about this paradox speaks volumes.

Too many people see their kids as... accessories and objects- not people. I remember reading something about a high incidence of abuse of black boys born to single mothers. The mothers would take out their anger, frustration and boneless felt toward the father on the son.

242 This will someday be a famous revevalation. But, for now, let's call it "Orson's Theory."

1. Most transgenders exist in Western countries.
2. Until recently, most "transgenders" were male to female. However, in the last few years the stiatistics claim it evened out more.
3. Male to female "transgenders" are scientifically explained, while Female to Male "Transgenders" are primarly motivated by trend and escape based on erroneous opinion spewed by feminism.
4. The culprit in all this is...(drum roll)....Toothpaste and municipal water sources.
5. Generous application of fluouride in both toothpaste (more prevalent in the West) and municipal water chemical treatment (fluoride based).
6. Fluoride effects the natural production of Testosterone, and can damage the body from continued use of Fluoride over long periods of time.

Next thing you know, men are wearing dresses and bonking their mom on the head with a hammer.

247 I actually sorta "know" a trans dude -- a former work colleague. Never really knew him that well. When we worked togeher, he was just a man -- no gender dysphoria as far as I could tell.

A coupe years after we both left the company, out of thje blue he announced to everyone on Facebook that he was "transitioning' into being a woman. Changed his name to something like a porn star would have -- don't want to reveal it here but lets just say "Cupcakes."

Then he embarked on a years-long transition, with hormones, and various surgeries, all documented on Facebook.

Throughout the entiure time, including up to the present, he looks like what he is: a 6' 1" beefy dude with broad shoulders, big jawbone, Adam's apple, receding hairline. But now with added boobs, facelift, wigs, etc.

Why am I mentioning this? Because on Faxebook, all he ever gets is wild praise and affirmation. whenever he posts a new photos, hundreds of comments say, "Cupcakes girl, you are GORGEOUS!" Etc.

Coalition of Immigrant-Owned Grocery Stores Will Sue Communist Terrorist Zohran Mamdani for Using State Money to Subsidize Their Competitors

The state-run grocery stores, if they ever come to be, will not have to pay taxes and will not have to pay rent.

They will drive private enterprise stores out of business. Which is the whole point. Socialism and communism destroy functioning systems so that they can present themselves as the solution to all of the problems they themselves have caused.


An immigrant-led business group is gearing up to sue New York City over Mayor Zohran Mamdani's controversial plan to open five taxpayer-funded supermarkets -- claiming the $70 million project will create unfair competition for nearby stores, The Post has learned.

As the far-left mayor announced new details of his plan this week -- including a 30% discount on basic items like produce, meat, milk, cheese and bread -- the Multicultural Business Coalition's board voted to file a lawsuit in the coming weeks to block the pricey initiative, the group's chairman Frank Garcia told The Post.

"The mayor doesn't seem to want to sit down with us," Garcia said, adding that Mamdani "won't be able to bully these lawyers we are going to bring in."


The mayor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

MBC -- formed earlier this year to create a unified front against Mamdani's grocery policy -- includes 50 chambers of commerce representing Asian, African, Caribbean, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and Jewish-owned businesses in New York.


The nonprofit MBC plans to raise $1 million to fight some of the mayor's initiatives, Garcia said, adding that the suit "should be a non-partisan initiative." The group plans to send a letter in the coming days notifying Mamdani's office of its plans to take legal action.

The funds will go toward the lawsuit and efforts to raise awareness about the plight of its mom-and-pop shop members, many of whom struggle to secure capital, fend off shoplifters and keep up with rising costs including rent and taxes.

Meanwhile, longtime NYC residents are complaining that the communist terrorist has put them on a list of people whose properties will be taxed at sky-high rates -- unless they can prove to the city's socialist satisfaction that they live in their homes.

New Yorkers were seething Tuesday after Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration alerted them they'd be on the hook for the state's new pied-a-terre tax -- which was explicitly sold as a levy targeting wealthy owners of luxury second homes.

Longtime residents -- some who have called the Big Apple home for decades and own a single abode in the city -- told The Post they were shocked to get hit with five-figure tax bills they believe were mistakenly mailed out, and are now being forced to navigate a bureaucratic labyrinth to prove it.

"Whoever's behind this, who I can only assume is the mayor, didn't take the 30 seconds to research," said Karen Young, president and founder of New York and Paris-based beauty marketing company The Young Group, who has lived in New York since 1972.

Why would you assume this gayboy Destroyer of Civilization wasn't behind it?

You voted for him, didn't you, Dummy?



She was stunned when she received a letter from the city Department of Finance asking for $43,000 in pied-a-terre tax on her West 95th Street brownstone, which she's lived in with her husband for 30 years.

"Is this a witch hunt?" she asked, exasperated.

Mamdani not only gloats about 'taxing the rich,' he lies as well

"I just sort of line up all of these things and think 'why are you picking on us?'" Young said.

"As a faithful New Yorker since 1972, I find it not only insulting but painful," she fumed, "Is anybody paying any attention, or any thinking, or two minutes of research. Just look me up!"

Young said she went to the DOF's website to attempt to prove her permanent residency -- but quickly hit a brick wall.

"It's a cumbersome process to prove that I'm a primary resident, which just seems absurd. My jury summons come here, I pay my taxes from here, my utilities," she said.

Despite the department telling her the process to appeal or challenge the bill was as easy as uploading a driver's license, Young said she was forced to pay her estate lawyer to get the proper documentation after spending three fruitless hours on the website trying to do it herself.

"Apparently they haven't checked their own website. And I'm tech-savvy!" she insisted.

Yes, the communists say that you can avoid having your property confiscated through ruinous taxation if you jump through their bureaucratic hurdles -- but they're the ones who decide how onerous those hurdles will be, and they profit from citizens failing to run their commie gauntlet.

So, enjoy.

There must be NO BAILOUTS for New York City or Seattle or Boston or any of the other communist cities after they destroy themselves. The stupid and corrupt will have no other teacher than their self-inflicted misery. They must be made to learn.

3 No bailouts, and if they ask they get seized by the Feds and put under adult supervision instead.

Meanwhile in LA, they've started allowing people to rebuild, but Bass ordered LAPD not to patrol any of that area so everything at construction sites keeps getting stolen.

13 It's a solid lawsuit. The prices in the commie stores sit about 30% lower than privately owned grocery stores. Profit in a privately owned store is about 1% to 3% on each item. So about 27% to 29% of the reduction on Commie prices are nothing more than a hidden tax to NY taxpayers. Mamdani was trying to state that entire savings reduction was based only on profits of the "greedy" retailers.

Looking forward to discovery on that lawsuit. Should be fun.

I've a simple solution.

The immigrant grocery stores can pay people to go buy supplies from the commie grocery stores as soon as they open, then sell them below market price.

The commie store fails faster than it would have. People still buy from you because the commie store shelves are empty. You get your goods cheaper than from your normal supplier.

Everyone except the taxpayer is happy.

Sure, Jan, the retailers are "greedy." After all, it is so easy to set up a bodega business in NYC, and run it, what with all the druggies, crazies, and other fine citizens of that town coming into the bodega to shoplift or strongarm the cash register.

I'm sure it is all about "greed."

41 I would suspect the proof of residency in New York City would include handing over copies of all utility bills, property tax bills, and state and federal income tax returns from the previous year.

Providing a NY state drivers license only proves you're a resident of the state, not a resident of NYC.

In my county, I've got provide all of the above documentation to get a "Homestead Tax" exemption for a much lower property tax rate, instead of the county having to prove I'm living in a second home and trying to avoid the higher rate.

I'd expect no less from bureaucracy running the city of New York.

There are already supermarket chains -- like Grocery Outlet, among several others -- that have 50% off as their standard starting price.

Places alike Aldi, Lidl and Trader Joe's also are about 40% off standard supermarket retail prices on many items.

Don't even talk to me about Costco and Walmart.

Dollar stores? Yup.

If you want discounted food, a 30%-off place is gonna be like at the bottom of your lit of options.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at July 29, 2026 04:25 PM (diia5)

Those two things are separate problems. But let’s assume they did - they are still being capitalists, they are still paying taxes, they are still keeping people on a payroll. They are paying the loan back, or paid it back. They are paying rent. Why in the world would we be okay with that type of person being put out of business? We should be in the camp of promoting business ownership.

Note, I have an SBA loan I got for the purchase of my business. It didn’t qualify for a minority targeted loan, it’s just a traditional SBA, but it’s still a government backed loan. The purpose of them is to promote business growth. Now I would rather put pencils on my eyes than go through the process again, mind you. They didn’t just hand me money. It was painful.

Asian American voters (overall): 49.1% (or 59% in some surveys) backed Mamdani, significantly outpacing Andrew Cuomo.

Black voters: 57% (or 48% in other polls) voted for Mamdani, flipping away from Cuomo who led in the primary.

Hispanic/Latino voters: 52% (or 45%) supported Mamdani, driven by his affordability platform in the Bronx and Queens.

Jewish voters: 33% supported Mamdani, while 63% voted for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo.

White voters: Mamdani lost this group, with Cuomo winning 45% to Mamdani’s 37% (or a 1-point margin in other counts).

91 Alex Berenson posted about his mom on X and look what a d*ckhead NY'er wrote him, these people cannot be saved:
----------------------------------------------
Yesterday afternoon, I posted the following about what had happened on X:

Last week, my mom got a "pied-a-terre" tax notice. She has lived full-time in her townhouse FOR 30 YEARS (she and my dad bought it for under $1 million1). She has no other residence.

Is NYC not bothering with basic checking of its own tax lists?

She's 81 and has three weeks to get her name off the list or she owes $56,000. (Yes, I said I'd help.)

Thanks, Zohran Kwame.

The note went very viral. It has now been viewed 3.5 million times, including a surprising (or maybe sadly unsurprising) amount of jealous blowback from leftists on X. @bri_guy_ny, whose X biography claims he is a “dad, lawyer, progressive, and former 2020 Bernie delegate,” wrote:

"My Mommy owns a townhouse that's worth upwards of $8 million dollars, and the government is making me FILL OUT A FORM. I am deeply oppressed. Boo hoo for me."

99 The reality is grocery stores have some of the smallest profit margins of any business. Huge amount of competition to keep things honest.

The idea the government can somehow bring down prices is absurd, sort of like affordable care act. Every gov owned grocery store worker will get Cadillac health care, a six figure income with 3 months vacation, and a 6 figure pension until they die.

Posted by: Leupold at July 29, 2026 04:42 PM (pYVDl)

100 The prices in the commie stores sit about 30% lower than privately owned grocery stores.

Which means that the product they are buying is near free since never at any time has any government ever had cost savings as part of the operation plan.

There is always graft. There is always corruption. There is always skimming. There is always incompetence. This is always sloth. There is always money laundering for The Party.

I wouldn't be surprised if each of the proposed stores had sinecures for assistant managers. Having more overhead than a school system of worthless Party functionaries serving various roles within the organization.

The immigrant grocery stores can pay people to go buy supplies from the commie grocery stores as soon as they open, then sell them below market price."

How about paying people to steal from the commie stores? Then the private stores would get an even bigger edge.

111 I take no backseat to hating Commies - but having some insight to the game a lot of NY people play - they work in NY and have a residence there but they “live 182 days” outside NYC to avoid the NYC taxes (in case you did not know - NYC has a bunch of taxes on top of NY State taxes (and City taxes are not just property taxes). So I see what the Commie is trying to do. And don’t believe all the sob stories.

Still i hope the Islamist Commie pushes too far and businesses get him removed. Otherwise - the Financial Capital of the US will move to Dallas or Miami (and since I’m NYC adjacent and do love the City - I think that would be bad).

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

NYC is past the point where they should be allowed to self select their own leaders. I lean towards military government combined with an occupation force; but I’m open to some new Ike Turner look alike to be named the new Duke of New York.

In the SF Bay area, there is a common scam that everyone knows about but no one is allowed to mention publicly:

Chinese and Middle-Eastern shop owners send family members to free pantry food grocery handout locations (churches, senior centers, etc.), collect as much as they can of the generic bulk food -- then resell them in their shops. Happens all the time.

128 Growing up in Montgomery County, MD in the 60's and 70's I recall a grocery store called "CO-OP" that hung around for a number of years. IIRC, and I was just a little kid, but I think they worked with local growers and small businesses. My mom would go there periodically for certain things, but never meats... because they seldom had any worth buying.

I think the store was setup as something similar to a state (think government/Socialist) run biz. Montgomery County was home to many Western, and Eastern Europeans who worked for various embassies or whatever. And the county, even back then, was very commie curious.

The joint closed up after only a couple years. Giant and Safeway did them in.

131 In college I worked for an “immigrant small business”. It was a bodega type place but not in New York so it’s called a store.

They were Greeks. Elder dad and two siblings. Dad fresh off the boat barely spoke English 30 years later. Siblings born here.

No laws were followed. I got paid in cash at the end of my shift. No taxes paid no fica collected nothing. I don’t know if they had a license to sell alcohol but they sold a lot of it to very young people’s. This was back when renting VHS tapes was a thing. The brother would go to blockbuster rent the latest movies then make copies and rent those out for $2. And yes they’d buy soda in bulk from a warehouse club, then sell the items individually at 300% markup.

That’s how ALL these places operate.

But it was fun another. Especially then the siblings and the dad would yell at each other in Greek. Which was pretty much all the time.

It was a fun time.

But won't *somebody* think of the poor, downtrodden CEOs who will barely able to afford the fuel and personnel costs for their private jets?

waiting for both Democrats and Republicans to try to spin these discounted groceries into a bad thing. He'll be called a socialist like it's a bad word.

They’re making more and more socialists out of the populace every time they call Mamdani one!

Our generation (i am a millennial) hears this and demands more of that. First time their red scare tactics dont work because who they labeled socialist makes them more endeared to working class families

Omg, I need to move to NYC. Not even kidding 😭 I want to be part of making things work.

we have commissarys on military bases that have lower cost goods. why can't the rest of us have something similar?

anyone that still believes a democrat when they give some excuse about how they can’t actually help the human race, direct them to the example of Mr. Mamdani

The state-run grocery stores, if they ever come to be, will not have to pay taxes and will not have to pay rent.

They will drive private enterprise stores out of business. Which is the whole point. Socialism and communism destroy functioning systems so that they can present themselves as the solution to all of the problems they themselves have caused."


Potemkin Grocery Stores! All media taking heads and Democrats who are given tours of Mamdani's commie stores will publicly say government-owned and -operated grocery stores are terrific! Just look at how marvelously the new ones in NYC are changing the lives of people in Food Deserts!

Every Democrat politician is salivating at the thought of how much graft can be generated by government stores selling staple foods (and junk foods). All (inevitable) losses will be another item the taxpayers will subsidize. Any Democrat city political machine that can't cook the books to hide losses due to shoplifting, employee theft, and graft is completely inept at its basic function.

None of these people seem to realize that Brandon Johnson tried the same thing in Chicago and had to close all the stores.

Or that the same thing was tried in Kansas City and by the end of that store's life it looked just like an empty store circa 1985 in Moscow.

They are completely ignorant of history.
They learn zero lessons.

185 Growing up in Montgomery County, MD in the 60's and 70's I recall a grocery store called "CO-OP" that hung around for a number of years. IIRC, and I was just a little kid, but I think they worked with local growers and small businesses. My mom would go there periodically for certain things, but never meats... because they seldom had any worth buying.

I think the store was setup as something similar to a state (think government/Socialist) run biz. Montgomery County was home to many Western, and Eastern Europeans who worked for various embassies or whatever. And the county, even back then, was very commie curious.

The joint closed up after only a couple years. Giant and Safeway did them in.

Back in the 60s our family belonged to one of those grocery

It's not uncommon in cities and counties where there are a lot of non-primary residences (think lakes, beaches, vacation destinations) to charge a higher rate on property taxes to non-residents.

I've never quite understood why you want to charge people more who are receiving less government services, other than the targets have at least a second residence and therefore are rich and deserve it.

The local governments get away with it, though.

234 #159 BM - I can’t speak for everyone but I know professionals who live on Park or 5th Avenue who have places outside the City and declare those places as primary residences to avoid NYC taxes (as they work in NYC their income is taxed at state level - first in NYState and then at other State level if higher - for instance income from a job in NYC is taxed in NY then you get a credit against CT taxes (if any)) if you live in CT . But if you are a NYC resident there are more income and other taxes on top of NY State taxes.

As for City Services - in this day and age it’s hard to see the direct benefits of that in high- income Manhattan. Everything is handled through building management (I mean I guess there are “single family homes” in Manhattan that in this day start at $10M) - those are brownstones (attached row houses).

242 Mamdami's plan is beyond stupid. I live in the South Bronx, so I know.

The plan is to put one store in each borough. In the Bronx, it'll be over in Hunts Point which is four miles from me. The stores will have limited offerings, and only promise deep discounts on a few items.

Most South Bronx residents don't have cars. That's why they use bodegas!

They're not going to schlepp without a car to save a dollar on a gallon of milk. You could make the milk free and they still wouldn't go. That's why they use bodegas!

257 5 stores in NYC won't work for the first week, assuming they open. Swarms will show up, tear into the inventory buy and steal it all and they will not be able to replenish it by next day.

There is a reason why established stores make forecasts based on previous sales. Its because they have to buy the stock in advance. The immigrants who go to Costco are leveraging the Costco supply-chain and forecasting functions, but do so at a price. Fortunately Costco's purchasing power and logistics is so good and their ability to be flexible narrows that gap between Costco's costs in the logistics and what the bodega merchant could do on their own.

Pretty sure that the Mamdani stores will be using Costco's infrastructure, and thus they won't have an site statistics or forecasts.

Iran Threatens Lives of First Lady and Barron Trump; Trump Says He'll Kick the Sh** Out of Them

Iran is calling upon its foreign agents to kill Trump's wife and youngest son.


First lady Melania Trump and son Barron are the latest targets of Iran's sick anti-US propaganda.

A new video out of Iran is encouraging supporters of the Islamic regime to assassinate President Trump's wife.

Entitled "How to Kill Melania Trump," the video shows images of the first lady in the motorcade and in some locations around New York City, even naming some of the designer stores that she shops.

The shopping excursions could be "suitable for operations by global freedom fighters," the video noted. It also suggested using a nerve agent to poison any clothes the first lady might purchase.

...

At the end of the video, Barron Trump, 20, is also threatened.

"This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us."

...


The president's family has been repeatedly targeted since the war with Iran began.

Last week, billboards appeared around Tehran demanding the death of President Trump and his relatives, including Melania and all his children: Don Jr, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany and Barron.

"Blood for blood," it read.

...

[President Trump] told The Post that he "left instructions" should Iran succeed in their plots to assassinate him -- and there'll be hell to pay.

"I've been on their list for a long time. That's what we're dealing with," he said. "... The only thing is, I've left instructions -- if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they've never seen before."


Iran just launched five missiles at US bases. The missiles were all intercepted, but Trump vows vengeance.


President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned that the U.S. is going to "beat the f*cking sh*t" out of Iran following its attack on U.S. forces in Jordan.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed on Tuesday that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces attempted to conduct a "surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East."

"All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness," CENTCOM said.

In response to that, President Donald Trump told Fox News, "We're going to beat the f*cking sh*t out of them."

Trump added that Iran is "going to get a beating."


Trump explained why he hasn't yet bombed Iran's bridges and power plants. It's simple: He's thinking about the day after the collapse of the regime. The freed people of Iran will desperately need to start making money, and that will be difficult with all of the bridges and power plants destroyed. Trump explains that bridges can take up to ten years to build and power plants are the most expensive piece of infrastructure to rebuild.

I watched a video last week explaining that's why Trump has not bombed Kharg Island down to ground, too. It turns out that despite Iran's long coast on the Strait, they have only one deep water port, and that's Kharg Island. The rest of the coastal waters are shallow and piled with silt which prevents ocean-going tankers from pulling up to take on oil.

This is also why you only hear of plans to use Marines to seize Kharg Island, as opposed to dropping massive ordnance penetrators on it and just destroying the port entirely.

So again, he's contemplating the post-war economy of Iran and deciding not to bomb key infrastructure that the Iranians will desperately need.

That all makes sense. Here's what doesn't: Repeatedly threatening to bomb things you've already decided not to bomb.

The US also attacked IRGC-aligned terrorists in Iraq, using, apparently, the A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog).


U.S. Central Command and the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces conducted precision strikes in Iraq, July 28, against Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed to attack U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.

U.S. and Saudi fighter aircraft struck multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq in a strong response to over 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks in the last 72 hours.

The unwarranted attacks against U.S. forces were not successful.

Leftists are openly grieving Iran's inability to fund their favorite murderous, psychopathic Muslim terrorist forces.

I'm not sure how long we keep doing these half-measures, without going for the jugular, because of some (mostly) altruistic notion that we have to save Iran for the Iranians.

I'd love Iranians to live in a free society without head-chopping lunatics in charge. I also want a pet dragon. At some point, we have to give up what I have long thought is a delusion and just act 100% in America's interests and let the chips fall where they may.

Iranians aren't my problem.

38 well but let's say the regime falls, and a pro-US regime comes in. If that regime is unable to provide for the people, it will be unpopular and weak and the Islamist conquerors will re-take the country.


The point of war is inflicting enough pain to make the people, the civilian government, and the "moderate" members of the IRGC decide it is in their immediate personal interest to end the current leadership of the IRGC - essentially the reverse of the argument you and Trump are making.

Once you win, if you want, you can start funding explicitly pro-American leaders making them attractive people to follow for the rest.

So cutting them off from banking, taking their money and giving it to their most recent victims of their bombardment, and letting them see what they could be earning on the international oil market, if they only agreed to peace, will eventually lead to a form of shareholder's meeting in which they will determine the way forward. Hopefully it will include the recalcitrant and the holdouts for total war hanging from construction cranes, in accordance with local tradition.

58 If Iran won't coalesce into a nation that wants to interact with the rest of the world like a normal country, it can be reduced to the point where the rest of the world can ignore it.

If we get serious about damaging Iran's infrastructure one possible outcome is for the country to fracture formally or informally into smaller entities that are more interested in food and trade then war with the Great Satan. This is also a win.

Imagine for example the governor of Sistan and Baluchestan coalescing power himself in the province signing a cease fire with the US and handing over IRGC members in his area. He's a Sunni and a Balouch so he has personal reasons to split assuming the IRGC is too weak to respond...

Any advice for someone who wants to start in journalism in the midst of all of this?

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

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

Got addicted to internet porn and think that doing AI slop for the regime on social media is as good or even better than dying in a blaze of glory.


Key and Peele had a skit on this. A couple of jihadis are sent to the US to conduct terror attacks and open a food truck to raise money.

After a while their leader shows up asking them why they aren't killing infidels yet. One food truck guy starts talking about how much money they are making, but the other guy realizes it isn't helping and instead argues with the fatty food they are serving they will surely kill plenty of infidels in 20-30 years

The leader hears all of that and sounds dismissive but the next day has his own food truck serving cheaper food.

CENTCOM

Arrange to have six separate groups of B-52s loaded with gravity bombs.

Stage them over the capital city of North Yemen.

Create 6 different bomb lanes. But have the lines in two triangles, so we put the Star of David in bomb damage over the city.

Please?

The right leaning posters argue the Haitians are making America worse by bringing Haiti here.

The left leaning posters argue they are making America better through "diversity"

And the comical thing it is the same answer. The culture Haitians bring is crime, fraud, and sloth.

Now, I suppose one could argue that if they were dumping all of that to becoming as American as apple pie they are contributing but the left not only acknowledges they aren't but celebrates it.

From the CA Post:

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has revealed that Fauci approved the use of “aborted baby body parts in mice research.”

“NIH-funded coronavirus researcher Dr. Ralph Baric and his colleagues at UNC put parts of livers, thymus and chunks of human fetal lung that they got from aborted, almost five-month-old human babies,” Ernst said. “They put those parts in their research mice. They disgustingly named them ‘BLT-L’ mice, and wrote they had created a ‘sandwich of aborted body parts in the mice.’”

Declare victory and leave the region: U.S. bases would still be open to attacks. Ground invasion: a disaster in terms of casualties and turn into a forever war. Nukes are a PR nightmare. Iran said they're done negotiating with the Trump.

You can't unfuck the dog. He's options are capitulate or escalate. Both bad choices.

He'll blame everyone going back to Carter. He already has MAGA believing we've been at war with Iran for 47 years and that he simply inherited the current situation.

he is running out of levers to pull to keep oil prices from getting out of control. He'll most likely have to sign an embarrassing deal and then completely throw Vance under the bus. He'll fire Hegseth.

This is one reason for his takeover of all news agencies. Just continue to say you won biggly and let the propaganda avalanche do its thing.

Outstanding. As a precaution, since we don't know which Muslim is going hot, we should deport, with extreme prejudice, every Muslim from the US, and deny any visas until the Iranian regime is vanquished.

From the CA Post:

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has revealed that Fauci approved the use of “aborted baby body parts in mice research.”

“NIH-funded coronavirus researcher Dr. Ralph Baric and his colleagues at UNC put parts of livers, thymus and chunks of human fetal lung that they got from aborted, almost five-month-old human babies,” Ernst said. “They put those parts in their research mice. They disgustingly named them ‘BLT-L’ mice, and wrote they had created a ‘sandwich of aborted body parts in the mice.’”

Ipsos, which is bang on for the generic ballot in 2018, 2022, and 2024 (they shit the bed in the presidential race for 2024) in their final polls have it D+2.

Which poll is right? Because they can't be both right. They're both outside the margins of error for each other.

The scale of their ability needs to be measured. When we started, they were firing more than a hundred missiles a day. Now, for their big push, their Battle of the Bulge, they send up 6 missiles which are all intercepted.

And they can't affect the strait at all. Oil keeps going out with tankers just turning off AIS, doing ship to ship transfers, all while Iran says things that aren't true like a VLCC hitting a mine in Omani waters which no one believes.

And no, I doubt they're getting new shipments of anything anymore. They apparently got some between the ceasefire and the MOU, but nothing since.. The idea that China could sneak through a major cargo tanker headed to Iran by the US Navy while the blockade is active is ludicrous. We knocked out their rail lines to Turkmenistan. They're getting nothing.

If this is dicking around, I don't know what taking it seriously is.

You don't.

The situation needs to be managed militarily. They need a sustainable strategy to keep tankers moving, while they then construct a long term solution, a logistical work around that avoids the coast of those dickbags. That's the more complicated solution.

1) Trump insists on giving every opportunity to allow the other side to do the right thing, before initiating bloodshed.
2) It's a cover story for the times where he has reason to pause the attack that he doesn't want to make public. Maybe it re-supply; maybe it's fielding a new technology; maybe it's reassessing or gathering more intel; maybe it's dealing with the allies. There could be all kinds of real reasons but actually expecting it to get somewhere has never been one of them.

Go at it, go at it full throttle, no let up, don’t stop until they either surrender or organized government inside Iran ceases. (There will likely never be anyone with the authority to surrender)

249 He's thinking about the day after the collapse of the regime. The freed people of Iran

One of the problems is Trump doesn't really do regime change. He's criticized it often in the past and he doesn't really think well in those terms.

He's always conflating the country of Iran or the Iranian people with this group of theocratic Islamic doomsdayist cult mass murderers that have gained control over the country, referring to them often as just the "Iranians" and granting them rhetorical legitimacy as the embodiment of the Iranian people.

In truth, he was right about Iraq, we didn't need regime change. After kicking Saddam out of Kuwait, Bush and Powell could have kept waging war until the Iraqi government surrendered. They would have had to hand over Saddam for trial, but the Baath party could have been left in charge with a peace treaty in which they acknowledged Kuwait's right to exist and paid damages and that would probably have been for the better.

But Iran is a different case entirely. Since 1979 our goal should always have been regime change and granting no recognition to the Islamist cultists that held our hostages and maintained power through mass murder.

Our exports are actually going down right now. Our supplies are increasing.

We're in the opening stages of an oil glut because oil is getting out of the Middle East both by the strait and by other means (existing and expanded pipelines) all while America and Scandinavia massively increased production in the face of the war premium.

It's just a question of waiting for demand to naturally decrease moving into the fall, refinery spreads decreasing in response, and gas prices dropping like a rock. Late summer.

But, remember, Trump shouldn't have dealt with the largest worldwide sponsor of terror who has been at war with us for 50 years because gas prices would go up a bit in the meantime.

Also, you'd be surprised at how little economic indicators have to do with midterm results.

We did target them for a while, then they started hiding them under bridges and the like to protect them to some extent from air attack.

As we see in the Ukraine war drones have changed everything on the modern battlefield. We would need maybe 10-15 million drones supported by a ground force of some nature but what drone warfare has shown us is we don't need a massive D-Day type invasion force to support a drone rollover of every significant IRGC formation in the country.

Completely wrong. Drones control the front lines on either side for up to 30 kilometers. The Russians need bad weather or a massive surge of EW and targeting the drone operators to get anywhere which they only do through slipping tiny groups of infantry through the lines. Several days ago the Russians tried a good old-fashioned armored column penetration of tanks and APCs and got blown to bits by drones.

Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of strategists in the Pentagon who have not been paying close attention to how the Ukraine war has evolved.

I wrote about Natalie Winters' expose of "journalists" receiving valuable all-expenses paid travel to China and then immediately acting as China's propaganda agents yesterday.

Just the News writes about one of these agents of Red China, a former Reuters fake reporter now serving as MS NOW's fake national security reporter.


An MS Now reporter who criticized President Trump's speech about Chinese influence previously traveled to the country with the help of a Chinese Communist Party-linked organization and failed to tell readers he was the guest of a CCP-linked outfit.

David Rohde, MS NOW's senior national security reporter, who traveled to China when he was with Reuters, was listed as one of many mainstream journalists who traveled to China as part of Chinese influence operations, as revealed by journalist Natalie Winters, who co-hosts the War Room podcast and video stream with Steve Bannon.

Rohde himself announced he was taking the trip back in 2011 in a column titled, "Will 'Made in America' sell in China?" In the column, which no longer bears his name but did in a previous archived version visited by Just the News on Tuesday, Rohde says that he and other journalists "are visiting China this week on a trip organized by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, a non-profit group run by businessmen with close ties to the Chinese government."

Paid for a viewpoint?

Since that visit, Rohde has written numerous columns favorable to China, including one shortly after Trump's speech claiming the president was trying to "undermine trust in the midterm elections by claiming that China had a role in his losing the presidency in 2020."

During Trump's speech earlier this month, the president alleged that China attempted to allegedly influence American public opinion by offering money to journalists to write negative stories about him.

"The Chinese government sought to identify US journalists who had reported negatively on the US president and pay them large sums of money to write more negative articles about him," Trump said during his speech.

While Just the News could not find evidence of such a clear monetary exchange, journalists like Rohde, who were hosted in China, did have their trip organized and paid for by the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), whose founder, Tung Chee-hwa, is a Hong Kong businessman who served as vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from 2005 to 2023.

...

Most news organizations focused on reporters' ethics eschew hiding the fact that the reporter's trip was paid for by the subject he or she is covering. For example, the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Conduct explicitly states that journalists should "Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and avoid political and other outside activities that may compromise integrity or impartiality, or may damage credibility."

Another commentator on journalistic ethics, Zan Romanoff, put it more bluntly: "In theory, journalistic ethics are simple: writers shouldn't pay for access to subjects or sources, or be paid by those subjects and sources to write about them; outlays should be provided by the publication, and limited to the bare-bone requirements of reporting, such as food."

CUSEF is registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), a law designed to make foreign influence transparent.
The CPPCC is part of China's "United Front" work, a Soviet-era strategy used to influence Chinese communities overseas, foreign governments, and others to support the policies preferred by Beijing.

Part of that effort includes bringing Western journalists to China. Rohde in particular has written positively about China -- and negatively about Trump -- since his trip in 2011. In his 2011 column for Reuters, Rohde derided America while praising China.

He was never technically "in charge" as he's not in government. He's a quasi-warlord drug-dealing gangster who fancies himself a rebel against the government. He controls large sections of Port-a-Pottie. He eats his enemies.

I like him.

Haiti is probably as close to Thunderdome as exists in the world today. Somalia too.

The WNBA is a basket case because it is a subsidy and everyone involved knows it is literally impossible to be anything else. The actual interest in women's sports is too low and will never reach anything like NBA levels.

So, increasing the appeal of the WNBA is not a concern. There's no incentive for it.

So, it's more important to protect the fiefdoms of those in charge, or, in other words, to protect the progressive political bubble of the organization.

I'd love to see a National Law passed, that all Election money, even spent by 'issue' groups, on issue ads... must come from within the area effected by that election.

Thus, a Senator can only take money from within the State. A Mayor, can only take money from within the town... a State Proposition can only have ads about it funded from within the State... and so on....

Would take foreign money right out of our election process... and would limit how Billionaires can effect elections in places they don't live in, and can't vote in.

143 It would appear that David Rohde received an invitation to "The Vault." If you never hear of The Chinese Vault before, I'll try to explain. There are a number of interviews out there of high end business people who routinely do business directly with China. A few of these people have given interviews about their experiences. Most held the attitude that if you go for the final signing of a contract deal with China and the contract wasn't altered slightly without an notification, then the Chinese are up to something else.

The rumor is (and it's come up in these interviews numerous times) is that China has a vault under the streets of Beijing. They take certain foreigners inside who they think can be of use, and flat out bribe them with a safety deposit box in this vault displaying their name on a brass plaque. They allow you to look through the contents of the "this could be yours" box, but require certain favors in return. In short: open bribery.

173 I would like to take this opportunity to provide some contrast between the left and right.

The left murdered a husband and father who just happened to be the CEO of a healthcare company. They are still making his murderer into one of their heroes, and a verb implying some form of justice. His crime? Being the head of a healthcare company whose policies they didn’t like.

Anthony Fauci, by his acts, lies, omissions, falsehoods and blind trampling of our Bill of Rights arguably was responsible for the deaths of millions. His policies, invoked mendaciously in the name of safety, which he demonstrably knew were lies, condemned generations of Americans to lifelong health issues, loss of liberty, loss of vocation, loss of an education, an inability to see loved ones on their death beds and some of the most egregious undermining of the public health system in its history. The right responded by asking for a full disclosure of his notes, testifying under oath to elicit facts, and a full explanation of his behavior, often backed by his own diary. Fauci refused and in one final act of defiance gave our country the middle finger.

Let that all sink in.

Media Can't Stop Boo-Hoo Whinin' and Cryin' That Trump Is Deporting The Democrats' Best Voters

Axios: Trump has ramped up self-deportation.


President Trump's controversial "self-deportation" program, which pays unauthorized immigrants to leave the U.S., is on pace to account for more than 200,000 departures, according to internal data shared with Axios.

How is it "controversial" to pay illegal aliens to voluntarily leave the country? It's only controversial if you are devoted to the idea that all foreigners not only have a right to be present in America, but must be encouraged to exercise this non-existent right.

For the voting.


Why it matters: Launched last year alongside a multimillion-dollar ad campaign, the initiative is virtually the only carrot in an aggressive immigration crackdown that has been long on sticks.

Through July 16, the nearly $600 million program -- dubbed Project Homecoming by the Department of Homeland Security -- has helped about 132,000 people exit the U.S.

Roughly 70,000 more have signed up and are on track to leave, according to the data.

About half of the self-deportations have involved immigrants held in detention, under an effort that accelerated the departures and began when a DOGE staffer brought Project Homecoming into ICE facilities.

The big picture: The self-deportation program is a key part of the administration's push to remove 1 million unauthorized immigrants from the U.S. each year.

The idea was that unauthorized immigrants would be so fearful of being arrested and detained by ICE or Customs and Border Protection that they'd voluntarily leave the U.S., with the promise of free travel and a stipend of $1,000, paid once they had left.

The stipend has increased to $2,600 and was briefly $3,000 last Christmas.

Border czar Tom Homan said in May that encouraging self-deportations was "part of the plan from the very beginning."


...

Zoom in: Project Homecoming started slowly, attracting about 24,000 immigrants in its first six months as staffers arranged deportees' travel documents and flights out of the U.S.

The White House then pressured DHS officials to move faster.

"The push was daily calls from the White House and weekly principal level calls [with Deputy White House Chief of Staff] Stephen Miller directly," one source said.

"They wanted like thousands pushed through on a daily basis, and we were putting through like dozens."

...

Case managers for the self-deportation program are now in 40 ICE detention sites, and about half of its 200,000-plus cases have involved immigrants in detention.

People in detention opting to leave the U.S. through the initiative now spend an average of 17 days in detention detained compared the typical 50 days, according to ICE data. That's begun to free up bed space in some detention centers.


...

"For the first time, someone walks in and goes, 'Hey, who here just wants to go home?' And everybody's like, 'I want to go home,'" one source said. "It's an immediate jump" in detainees seeking deportation.

By the numbers: Each self-deportation is costing the government about $2,500, plus the stipend paid to the deportee, DHS says. Removing an immigrant who doesn't volunteer for deportation costs about $18,245, the agency said.

The New York Times complains that the US is, get this, turning away foreigners just for having expired -- void -- visas.

You know, like the law says is supposed to happen!

An important community note you should rate as "helpful:"

helpfulnote.png


The left is arguing against this note, claiming that aliens are in "legal limbo" so they're allowed to violate the US's immigration rules and ignore our visa requirements:

[No Note Needed] - not only is the article reporting facts, but the proposed note about "that is how visas work" misses the fact that many official avenues for immigration often leave aliens in immigration limbo with no legal status

Fuck you.

Do you think the author made the sign of the Hillary when they repeated this article of faith?

I am not an immigration lawyer, but I imagine that holders of an expired visa have a clear path to renew their visa. That means they're not in limbo.

So no, "Trust me bro, lots of people trying to follow the law are in legal limbo," isn't a compelling argument.

This is complete bullshit. Once your visa expires, that's it -- it's over. It's like an expired driver's license. There's no "legal limbo" about whether you can still drive. You fucking can't.

At one time, when foreigners took US immigration rules seriously, they would never overstay a visa, even one that would be renewed. Because if they did, and they were caught, they would never get another visa again.

I knew a lot of foreigners -- mostly from Asia -- who were here on legal visas (mostly for work or school) and wanted to eventually get a green card. They would fly back home rather than risk overstaying even a day. From home, they would get the visa renewed, and come back to USA. There was no "legal limbo" horseshit.

A LOT less. It costs a lot of money per day to keep people detained--facility, guards, medical care, risk of anchor babies, etc. etc.

And then you have the legal costs of the deportation process--best to just pay them and kick them out voluntarily.

In theory, you can have a visa expire while applying for a change in visa etc.

66 I am not an immigration lawyer, but I imagine that holders of an expired visa have a clear path to renew their visa. That means they're not in limbo.

So no, "Trust me bro, lots of people trying to follow the law are in legal limbo," isn't a compelling argument.

Yep. They do in most cases, not all.

___________

Sure, some visas are renewable, but it's often not easy -- sometimes you have to go through your home country -- that begs the question of what your status is when they expire before they are renewed.

There are also provisions for asking for a temporary "stay" of deportation while you are applying for a renewal.

Anyone caught with an over-stayed visa and no stay in place pending renewal is a dirty fucker and can go fuck right off.

There's no "legal limbo" in this case. You can limbo the fuck outta my country if they expire.

Posted by: Archimedes

You live in a shithole sanctuary state so you won't see what others in sane jurisdictions do. And yes, there are a lot of signs like dropping k12 enrollment rates, decline in arrests for crime, and other indications of home prices dropping like in the Dallas Metroplex, and so on. But, given that the estimates are that approximately 8-10 million came here in the Biden years and over a million illegals were given SSNs at the same time, it takes a while to drain the ocean of illegals.

They just fired a leftist piece of shit who was head of DHS's statistics dealing with deportation numbers for underestimating deportation and underestimation of total illegals.

The first rule of holes is to stop digging--DHS and Trump have done a lot to stop digging the hole deeper by sealing the border, etc. The second is the tedious but necessary draining of illegals.

Of those 3 million, 2.2 million have opted to self-deport through a program that allows migrants to turn themselves in via a DHS app in return for a cash stipend and free flight home.

Another 900,000 have been deported since Jan. 20, 2025, and as of this month, DHS has arrested 900,000 illegal aliens, according to agency figures.

I think these stats are for illegals taking the $2600 deal to formally and voluntarily deport themselves. That's a formal process where they sign waivers and get checks. We should -- should -- have very accurate stats on this.

The much bigger number of "self deportations" are illegals who just decide it ain't worth it to stay, and just leave. We have little data on that. I've seen some very big numbers tossed around. Do I believe them? Let's just say I'm skeptical.

The self deportation, and government payment, is stupid. Why are we wasting our money, when they have spent their money. If they are an issue, turn them away as they come back. Guess we gotta' keep those numbers up for funding

Expanding deportation operations, just in time for the midterms. Sweep through blue states and grab everyone and anyone they can.

'Expanded deportation operations'...more just grab a brown person off the street for no reason and ship them to a concentration camp and make it impossible to find out where they went.

132 We need to gradually increase penalties on those employing the illegals ... builders, restaurants, hotel workers ... nannies and lawncare guys.

An all at once big fines effort MIGHT cause economic disruptions, but we should gradually increase the cost of such illegal activity. But yes, getting the real criminal illegals out is a highest priority ... and can/has resulted in lower crime rates.

Yes. These are retards trying to get back into the country with an expired visa. Try doing that even with an expired passport.

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

The reason is (in part) so fucking idiots don't leave with expired PP, or with valid PP that expire while they're away, and then can't get back into the USA.

The hiccup; media says the cars were not marked, the cars had no cop lights (no flashers of any kind), the guy they shot, the driver, was not the person they were after and he, the driver, did not know the car that was pinning him was a cop car. Oh, the ICE agents didn't have body cams either. Can't find a clear statement from ICE on any of the above.

Obama's first term actually was fairly aggressive in terms of deportations. But things changed, really, in 2013.

That's when the Obama administration started counting border turnaways as deportations and massively reduced interior enforcement.

The dual-scare of 2010 (actual loss) and 2012 (stolen presidential election) seem to have convinced the Democrat Party that they needed to massively import a new migrant class to oppress the white working class that had turned on them.

Yea. I don't like "brown" because it sounds ugly.

"White people" is cool because white is a cool color: the color of purity, newness, and an open canvas.

"Black people" is also cool because black is also a cool color: the color of luxury, of mystery, of potential.

But "brown?" It's the color of shit and dried snot.

207 198 The most accepted number of undocumented is 12,000,000

Hasn't that been the "accepted number" since the '90s?

I'm guess it's around 40,000,000.

Posted by: Crusader at July 29, 2026 01:49 PM (TN0g+)

=====

I assume total from the 60s to today is about 100,000,000.

It took 60 years to get here.

It's not going to get undone in 4.

However, Trump is making real progress and no Democrat control of the House post 2026 is going to stop it because the OBBB fully budgeted and appropriated DHS and ICE through 2028 (plus even more spending for support mechanisms in the stuff that got passed earlier this year in the partial government shutdown that Democrats got nothing from).

I think for some, that live in blue sanctuary states, a lot has not changed and perhaps even illegal increased in their area due to fleeing areas where ICE is welcomed and supported by local and state governments. When I see the nics that claim nothing is happening, almost all of them in the past have admitted to living in blue states.

If the Democrats run your state or even localities like Nashville, they try every single means to keep even criminal illegals in the US--drop criminal charges, ignore benefit laws restricting those to US citizens, or even in some cases, like Houston, trying to illegally pay immigration attorneys for illegals using public money.

This is a Democrat political system desperately trying to prevent imminent loss of population, money, and political power. Essentially a war without a formal declaration or much shooting yet.

=======

The secret that apparently no one knows about immigration enforcement is that DHS does, at best, half of the arrests. It's probably less.

The majority is done by local cops with 287g agreements who find out legal status upon a standard interaction, arrest them, call ICE, and wait for some DHS personnel to show up.

Texas is heavily invested in the system and represent the largest plurality of deportations in the nation.

The entire west coast have state laws barring local cops from entering these agreements.

Hasn't that been the "accepted number" since the '90s?"


In the early 2000's it was usually reported in the MSM as an estimated 15-20 million, which seemed about right and admitted the uncertainty to eh actual number. Then when it became an issue it sudden dropped to 11 million based on some BS studies using no hard data to come up with a politically acceptable number. It has even been reported at 11 million even after Biden allowed in another 10-12 million.

Actual number can be no less than 40 million based on US demographics

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

So imagine in area in CA where the census counted half citizens/half illegals vs the same area in TX.

The CA district even if it does stop illegals from voting still gives one rep for half the citizens the TX rep serves.

Yes.

I strongly suspect that the lack of immigration national news since Goode and Pretti were two fold.

The first was the the Bovino and Noem show did end. Mullin took a different tact and there were fewer convoys. Smaller teams going in and doing the work.

The other is that the issue probably didn't actually focus group that well. White leftists making asses of themselves (which hasn't stopped, just the national coverage of it) just played poorly, so the media found another squirrel to focus on.

286 Employer/workplace enforcement is either non-existent, or minimal and well-concealed. And it's far far more important, with more leverage to actually resolve the problem, then every other enforcement campaign. They're all valuable and needed, but ..... hard to be hopeful that the key enforcement avenue will be pursued. Would be nice to see something get done.

Goes without saying that the real issue here is lawlessness, and a mindset that views lawlessness as OK. A mindset that has rotted the institutions, the "courts", and much of the populace, from brainless suburban/blue haired moral narcissists to business owners to public "employees".

I also think the waiver you sign to get the money says you ain't never coming back. So if you try to come back, even if you could get into the country to do so, in theory you can't get a visa and should be catapulted back to Cannibalia.

I thought it was the other way around, and it's a three-carrot scheme, where in addition to cash and transportation, they also remain eligible for future legal entry (unlike if they're forcibly deported). They just have to go through the formal (potentially years-long) process, applying for entry from outside the country and waiting for permission like a normal person.

Maybe I just assumed based on what I thought would make sense, but that's what I thought I remembered reading somewhere.

The BIG picture of the cost of ONE illegal in the state of CA annually is roughly $7K. That's what is admitted Free everything from healthcare to housing...all illegal. Illegal Medicaid dollars spent, and probably more than reported plus their illegal vote.

House Budget Committe states CA totals of illegals are $30 billion by taxpayers.

Healthcare: $8.4 billion. Education: $3.4 billion. Policing/court/jail: $4.4 billion. In ONE State.

This money does not include the Nick Shirley discovered fraud of illegals that climbs to hundreds of millions.

In my opinion $3k is NOTHING to get them out of here!

Deep State Mafia Boss Anthony "Little Bones" Fauci Pleads the Fifth

This is what I thought he would do.

But now I wonder if he has any legal right to invoke the Fifth.

He was pardoned for all crimes he committed for a ten (or eleven?) year period, 2014 to 2024. Therefore, speaking about his activities then does not incriminate him as he cannot be prosecuted. He could admit the broke every law in America, but that's not self-incrimination, because he can't be prosecuted for what he says.

He could be prosecuted for crimes since then, but not for crimes between 2014 - 2024.

When a court or Congress wants testimony from someone invoking the Fifth, they will grant immunity for that testimony, meaning it cannot be used in any other body in the future for purposes of punishing the testifier. Then testimony can be compelled, as there is no Fifth Amendment right just to keep a secret because you want to keep it a secret.

But Congress doesn't even have to immunize Fauci -- Biden's Magic Autopen already did.

So he should be compelled to testify, or be held physically in contempt until he agrees to talk. (I see now other people are talking about this.)

But I doubt the GOP has the balls to do this.

Update: Rand Paul wants to hold "Little Bones" Fauci in contempt:

Libs of TikTok
@libsoftiktok

BREAKING: Sen Rand Paul says the committee scheduled a vote on holding Fauci in CONTEMPT after Fauci invoked the Fifth amendment over EIGHTY TIMES

Update: Elric the Blade points out that Fauci can say he is invoking his right not to incriminate himself for state crimes. His pardon only covers federal crimes.

He can also say that his pardon hasn't been accepted by a court as effective.

Meanwhile, Senators are roasting this criminal pig and mass murderer.

🚨Hawley GRILLS Fauci: You illegally used 8 federal employees to solicit $1,000,000 in cash prizes for yourself -- while Americans were dying from COVID-19 in the winter of 2020.

"You turned your staff into a full-time application machine."

"You used eight separate federal employees on federal time using federal resources to solicit cash awards."

"This is your chief of staff using federal email to pressure the agency's own ethics people so that you could get money, so that you could get rich. And it violated the law, didn't it, Dr. Fauci?"

"You cannot use federal resources, federal dollars, federal employees, federal offices, federal email, federal time to solicit cash awards, and you did all of it."

"The worst part is, thousands of people were dying while you were doing it. You were supposed to be the nation's doctor, and you were playing one on TV. But this is what you were doing with your time. Isn't that true?"

Fauci's answer, every time: "On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment."

"Who the F**! do you think you are?"

"...your 50 year career ends in total and complete disgrace"

"Will you apologize to the people you harmed through your actions, do you have the dignity to say you are sorry?"

FAUCI PARDON: NOT BULLETPROOF

On the Pardon: Before the hearing @SenRandPaul
a former senior Justice Department prosecutor told me there are three, viable legal strategies to challenge the preemptive Biden pardon.

But there is no easy path.

One strategy calls for charging Fauci with a crime, with the expectation he would file a motion with the court to dismiss based on the pardon. This could open the door to challenging the sweeping pardon's viability and years of litigation.

Another strategy involves Congress. Because Fauci has theoretically been preemptively pardoned against past and future criminal charges related to his NIH work, it can be argued that Fauci has no plausible claim to the 5th Amendment, the right against self-incrimination.

If Fauci takes the Fifth at Senator Paul's hearing (which he has) the committee could seek to compel Fauci's testimony. A finding of contempt could follow.

Finally, one of Fauci's closest associates has been criminally charged. With pressure and the right incentives he might be flipped and become a cooperating witness.

Dr. David Morens, who was a senior advisor to Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was indicted on multiple charges including conspiracy and obstruction, including destruction, alteration or falsification of federal records.

Along with allegations that personal email accounts were used to evade the Freedom of Information Act, this could be a powerful motivator.

From media reports: Dr. David Morens has pleaded not guilty to all five federal criminal counts.

NOTE: @SenRickScott
has just raised the Morens case. Fauci continues to take the Fifth.

Perhaps surprisingly, both the New York Times and the Washington Post have now published articles on the Fauci diaries. Unsurprisingly, both are complete whitewashes. They sanitize his record and reduce the criticism to the suggestion that he may have been a little too narcissistic.

Neither outlet confronts the diaries' central revelation, which is that Fauci repeatedly said one thing in private and another in public. That applies to the possibility of a laboratory origin, the supposed role of the Wuhan seafood market, the Wuhan lab's extraordinarily dangerous gain-of-function research, the infection fatality rate, dissenting scientists such as Jay Bhattacharya, and much more.

This was their chance to admit that they were wrong to trust Fauci, that he was a charlatan, and that they had failed their readers by acting as establishment propaganda outlets rather than journalists. They could even have blamed Fauci and washed their own hands of the entire scandal.

But they cannot bring themselves to do even that.


Update: Rand Paul thinks that Fauci's destruction of official records is prosecutable. I guess maybe this took place after the period of his super-pardon.

PATH FORWARD FAUCI: @SenRandPaul
allegations Fauci authorized or directed the destruction of federal records, a federal crime.

Senator Paul "One more time to comply with the law"

- Vote next week on contempt
- viability Biden preemptive pardon
- Fauci leaves hearing, no comment, appeared deflated

From AI "Federal records are legally governed by the Federal Records Act under 44 U.S.C. Chapter 33, which dictates that records may only be destroyed through official records disposition schedules approved by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Unauthorized destruction is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 2071 and 18 U.S.C. § 1519"

Without warning, somethings dawning, listen

You'll know you're defenseless

You can't retreat, I spy like no other

Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury
Changing gear, I pull you tighter to me ...

7 "He was pardoned for all crimes he committed for a ten (or eleven?) year period, 2014 to 2024. Therefore, speaking about his activities then does not incriminate him as he cannot be prosecuted."

He was pardoned for federal crimes only that existed at the time of the pardon. He can still be prosecuted under state laws. Plus, there are some lingering issues about the validity of his pardon.

The pardon also covers only federal crimes that existed at the time of the pardon. So, if Fauci started answering questions now, possibly that could be perjury or some other process crime that would not be covered by the pardon.

His lawyers almost certainly told him to shut his little drooling mouth.

Potential Fauci Rebuttals
1. The constitutionality of a blanket pardon covering crimes not yet charged has never been ruled on by SCOTUS. Therefore, he could still be charged under the theory that such a pardon is illegitimate.

2. Autopen. It is claimed that Biden didn't have anything to do with the pardon. Therefore, it is not a real pardon and he could still be charged with crimes.

39 A couple of lawyer thoughts;

1) Rand Paul should sue Fauci for defamation. Fauci said the statements that Paul made were "slanderous." A civil case would be outside of the autopen pardon and could force Fauci to tell the truth.

2) No reason for the Administration not to pursue a pardon is no good/pardon is good strategy contemporaneously. If the pardon is good, then it is contempt of Congress to invoke the Fifth at a hearing. If it is not, well that really makes things interesting!

3) Fauci needs to be billed for his US Marshall bodyguards and drivers that were given to him after he resigned.

4) I really wish someone would ask him that line from that "Let's Make A Dope Deal" Cheech and Chong bit "Okay, Bob, what is your name, Bob?"

64 Fauci got a blanket pardon for things up to the date of the pardon. Put aside the robo-pen issues and assume it's a valid pardon.

Because he has a pardon Fauci can't plead the Fifth so he has to testify truthfully. Paul could set him up with a perjury trap. Or Fauci would need to sing like a canary.

But hold on -- Fauci might argue that Joe's pardon is only for federal crimes so he still has exposure on past crimes and needs the Fifth. This gets into the weeds, and I'm not a criminal lawyer.

Paul's next move is to hold Fauci in criminal contempt and jail him until he testifies. This happens to journalists who are protecting their sources.

I'll take the bet that no judge will interfere in this.

Besides trying him for state crimes there is another tactic someone should try. Sue the little scumbag.
The protection for government employees for actions in the normal course of their duties do not apply to illegal acts. We know from his diaries that he was lying about where the virus came from and the safety of the virus . Millions of civil lawsuits would bankrupt him just defending them. The Statute of Limitations wouldn't run yet because we just discovered his coverup. Just defending the cases would bankrupt the scumbag

94 53 The pardon also covers only federal crimes that existed at the time of the pardon. So, if Fauci started answering questions now, possibly that could be perjury or some other process crime that would not be covered by the pardon.

His lawyers almost certainly told him to shut his little drooling mouth.

Congress can and has in the past offered limited use immunity to force someone to testify and can issue contempt of Congress if they don't. See McGrain v. Daugherty and Poindexter v. US.

North and Poindexter had their convictions nullified upon appeal as Lawrence Walsh, the independent prosecutor under that now defunct statute, did not sufficiently separate his case from the "use immunity" testimony of Poindexter.

Have a private sit-down with Fauci and tell him that if he keeps invoking the 5th, they'll bring his wife in for questioning. Of course, he's likely too much of a sociopath to care, but if word gets back to his wife, she might feel differently.

113 AI summary,

The Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991, commonly known as the Nunn-Lugar Act, authorized U.S. funding to secure and dismantle weapons of mass destruction in former Soviet states. A key component of this legislation was the provision of employment for former Soviet weapons scientists, with the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) established to hire 58,000 scientists for peaceful research.

The program initially targeted the post-Soviet states rather than the Eastern Bloc broadly, focusing on Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. It facilitated the transfer of nuclear warheads from these nations to Russia and funded the conversion of military industries to civilian use. In 2004 and 2008, Congress extended the program's scope to include counterproliferation efforts and security assistance in other regions outside the former Soviet Union.

This and other things. Ukraine was one of the early recipients of this money as the Sov Union had a major Biological Warfare research lab in Kharkov among other places.

And eventually the grift became literally doing research into forbidden topics (done on foreign soil so deniability) such as gain of function for biological warfare and CRISPR use to do that.

The justification under the Biological Warfare Treaty was research is allowed for 'defensive' purposes but that is utterly indistinguishable from research for offensive purposes. Knowledge cannot be separated.

Nope. Only federal crimes. Civil lawsuits are still on the table. State AGs have civil statues as well they could use.

184 134 Is it decided law that a blanket pardon is law. Removing the politics of the situation, I think it is very bad policy. I think the president should have to pardon for specific offenses for two reasons. The public preception and pressure is a check on the power of the pardon. Second, a blanket pardon could incluem pardoning a person for crimes that the president is not aware of. E.g. What if Fauci was a canibal, he has now been pardoned for that.
Posted by: Mr. Mxyzptlk

The pardon power dates back to the era of the British monarch over the colonies. Since the king was the titular head of teh courts, and literally had personal immunity (sovereignty)--he could extend forgiveness for any and all crimes. This was frequently done after rebellions where multiple violations of the king's law happened but in the interest of quelling societal unrest, the king pardoned all.

An early test of the American pardon was G. Washington pardoning participants in the Whisky Rebellion. Later you had the blanket pardons of the Southern rebels which led to Carter's blanket pardon of Vietnam draft evaders.

It still doesn't mean Fauci could be prosecuted on that evidence. If the pardon is absolute for all federal crimes (even those previously undiscovered) then it won't matter.

What WOULD make a difference is prosecuting the subordinates and giving them all MAX sentences, sequentially served.

Then, let them out before they start their sentences and let them handle Fauci in their own way. With a wink and a nod that justice for Fauci will reduce their sentences.

- the massive, ignorant blindness among our healthcare industry as they sought enforcement of Fauci's directives under the laws and regulations passed by legislators and City Council folks;
- the massive, ignorant blindness of business leaders as they succumbed with scarcely a murmur about the restrictions of Fauci's directives;
- the massive, ignorant blindness among academia and educational systems - persistent to this day - as they dutifully re-spouted lie after lie after lie about the COVID mess.

And on and on. And then that all gets swept away under the heading "it was a mass hallucination." Which explains nothing, and should not be allowed to exonerate anything. The powers exercised against the people were far broader than those espoused by just a little poison dwarf shirking his role.

205 >>Somebody, somewhere may decide to take justice into their own hands.

If only. I'll repeat what I posted the other day.

My wife passed away in August of last year. Cause of death was Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP). She had taken the J&J vaccine when it became available, which was mid-2002.

Initial onset of symptoms began in May of last year. After a multitude of tests, her specialists could not determine the cause of her symptoms. She was hospitalized in August, placed in ICU and passed away 5 days later.

NIH insists that there is presently no known link between TTP and the J&J vaccine. I call bullshit.

TTP is caused by a deficiency in a certain blood enzyme which causes the platelets in the blood to cluster (clot) and disperse throughout the body causing significant damage to internal organs if not diagnosed early and treated. If you'll recall, the J&J vaccine was pulled due to reported medical cases of significant clotting.

Early on, certain medical experts who opposed the rush to vaccination stated that they expected reports of vaccine injury/death to peak in the 3-5 year period following vaccination. My wife took the vaccine in 2022 and died in 2025.

Trump can pardon himself. There is no publication requirement, so I don't think he'd be the first President to do so - pretty sure that Clinton did it. And whoever was running the autopen that day, almost certainly granted Biden one.

These pardons can sit in a safe somewhere and not be brought out unless and until a former President has been convicted and about to be sentenced.

He was dressed down like few in American history have ever been, and this is just the opening salvo. His name is sh*t now and it won't be forgotten in spite of MFM attempts to whitewash and bury things.

The entire planet knows what Fauci did and his own diary is every "conspiracist's" vindication. That's at least one reason you go on with the hearing. It's not insignificant. The evidence will last decades. It will empower those who "question science/government". It will crush Fauci emotionally.

Posted by: Elric The Blade

Because the Deep State is desperate to keep all that shit hidden. Same reason they were having a cow over Pulte disassembling their precious embeds at the Director of National Intelligence office.

Those were the early warning system for the Deep State to do counter ops of delay, deny, and avoid consequences for illegal acts.

There are other Deep State centers, like NIH, that need a Pulte to disassemble.

224 >>That said I don't want US to take our eye off the ball. This whole thing is much much bigger than Bizarro Travelocity Gnome.

Exactly. As I've been saying all along, there is no way Fauci could have done this alone. This was run by the intel community or at least supported.

Much of the federal government was weaponized to convince the country this was a naturally occuring virus that required extreme steps including shutting down the entire country, masking everyone 7 x 24, forcing vaccines and on and on.

It also paved the way for mass mail in ballots that allowed for unprecedented election rigging. This stuff didn't happen in a vacuum and it wasn't just Fauci. He's a thread to a much bigger conspiracy that has taken many forms over the years but always ends up with screwing us and taking our freedoms.

Listen to that interview Catherine Herridge did with the CIA whistleblower. We are nowhere near the bottom of the rabbit hole.

BUT, his narcissist side cannot bear the public backlash of people turning on "Saint Fauci." The women who bought his plushies and his votive candles will rage if they learn mom died alone in an infected retirement home, and she never had to.

259 Listen to that interview Catherine Herridge did with the CIA whistleblower. We are nowhere near the bottom of the rabbit hole.
Posted by: JackStraw
========
The bottom line is post WWII, the intel deep state community started immediately engaging in illegal acts that they justified under National Defense. It became a nasty habit to illegal surveil average citizens, use unwitting humans as targets for research, assassinate people, pay off and employ journalists, engage in manipulation of society, launch coups in friendly countries, etc. etc. etc.

After the Soviet Union justification died, rather than reaim the establishment at China, they decided to aim this National Security Weapon at the American people with GHWB and Clinton at the head of that effort. 9/11 supercharged the effort and GWB played along as did Obama.

When Trump astonished the Deep State, that is when the shit began to hit the fan--too many lies, too many illegal acts, too many instances that threatened the establishment with a permanent loss of power and perhaps even being subjected to justice, meant he is an direct threat to everything they have done in the past and all their power going forward.

Posted by: whig at July 29, 2026 01:07 PM (E4rtv)

260 While watching the Facui hearing today I was struck by how much it reminded me of the victim impact statements after a mass killer has been convicted.

Fauci's barely masked contempt slipped a couple times. Once when he displayed a hint of smirk early in the hearing and when his faced flushed when Sen. Hawley was ripping him up.

There was two other moments that this hearing rattled him. The first was how his hands shook when reading his opening statement and a period when, if I remember correctly, his eyes were darting around while Sen. Moreno cursed his existence.

288 Fauci pardoned 2014 through 2024.

Contract extensions, renaming, amendments, referencing prior (2014 & before) contracts?

AWARDED in 2014 by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under grant number R01AI110964, titled "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence." The multi-year federal award (total grant) to EcoHealth Alliance totaled roughly $3.7 million.

Approximately $598,500 of those funds were funneled as a subaward directly to the Wuhan lab in China.

Per audits, exactly where the remaining $3,138,860 of that $3.73 million NIH grant (R01AI110964) went? EcoHealth Alliance distributed federal funds to 'other regional partners' to assist with localized biology & logistics: Wuhan University School of Public Health received over $200,000 & $50,000+ was budgeted to East China Normal University to assist in geographic data modeling & ecological analysis of viral hotspots.

In the end, EcoHealth got most.

Strict federal procurement and clearance rules are governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Procurement Integrity Act, and specific agency clearance threshold.

How the hell was that adhered to by NIH?

Fauci is so shook, this brilliant doktor czar wizard (garden gnome) that he had to read his Fifth. Pathetic little worm. He could not memorize those words.

If nothing else, a victory to beat his narcissim into the flat affect of a failed egomaniac sociopath. No fire in those beady little eyes today as his covid mask fell.

His only regret is getting caught.

I do hope that even stupid retarded Dims can see that IF he was ever telling the truth in the past he'd fight these charges. Pardon or not. IF he had standing. IF he hadn't put his ego before the public. IF he knew what he was talking about. IF he cared about the people he was supposed to protect and heal.

It was a game for him. A chess game for control. How far could he go in the game of masks, social distancing, pushing poison, denying families their families as they died.

He looked a complete and utter fool today with his pack o' lawyers (who don't care as long as they, like him, get their $$$).

Wednesday Morning Rant

mannixape2.jpg

Conversion

This week, PJ Media published an article about the DSA and its clearly-stated plans for revolutionary overthrow of American institutions. The article is typical of those like it. It highlights some of the more radical attitudes and ambitions that are mainstream in the DSA and calls it out for what it is - that is, mostly old-school communism with some contemporary post-modern progressive flair. It also laments the state of the youth and speculates as to the appetite for this kind of revolutionary communism in American popular politics.

As is normal for these kinds of articles, the author calls out how the new resurgence of revolutionary ideology on the Left is not well-loved by various older/traditional players on the Left. Many of the traditional hatchet-men and current marginalized politicians on the Left are worried, as they well should be:

Give credit to more sensible Democrats like Sen. John Fetterman and old Clinton hand James Carville who see the DSA slipping into the DNC like a skinsuit, and recognize the danger...
The danger isn't hard to recognize. It has a great big red flashing arrow reading "DANGER" pointing right at it. What is astounding is that many seem to be surprised by it.

How can men like Carville - or even those on the right (pseudo or otherwise) - be surprised by these developments? The PJ Media article touches on it, albeit as a simple lament:

The advantage we hold -- at least for now -- over the DSA, is that they have spokesweasels like Romer going to TV, actually trying to sell a radical agenda wholesale instead of piecemeal. Today's voters won't have it, but what about tomorrow's voters, the ones who were never taught American history or civics?
This is why those generations are not taught anything recognizable as history or civics. This was the point. This is why the Left did their Gramscian March. The March has been grinding on for decades, designed to bring us to where we are now.

The core issue - and it's one that has been obvious for at least a decade, even for those only paying casual attention - is that the March has to end eventually. If they spend decades subverting, capturing and refocusing institutions, they must take their gains at some point. The March depends on a stage of final conversion. In that final stage, they collect their winnings and use them to formally do away with the old system and replace it with the new one. Once most means of effective opposition are destroyed, they must formalize what they built. The Long March must be followed by the Rapid Conversion.

The sticking point is the question of when. Not everyone in the coalition will be on board at the same time and universally agree that the time to attempt Conversion has come. The last time it seemed to come up in earnest was under Obama, and the non-Conversionists won that round. The March continued, albeit a bit a faster. The drive to Conversion was accelerated, but Conversion was not attempted. There is a generational issue at play, as well, in that the people to whom they've promised Conversion will eventually demand it. When that time comes, the Marchers have to deliver and become Conversionists or they will be destroyed by the Conversionists they so carefully bred. The conflict over Conversion must occur because first a plurality and then possibly an outright majority will demand it if the March was successful. It will be brutal and violent and filled with infighting, but it will have to happen no matter what. It's the logical end state of the March.

Carville and those like him believe that the Conversion should for now remain where it has always been: in the future. Those in this camp believe that the March is not yet done, there is not yet enough control to pursue Conversion, and that attempting it now is high-risk and may result in defeat and it is reckless for the entitled Party youngsters to conflate their privileged status with actual power when the Marchers are still the rightful shot-callers. The DSA and those like them believe that those like Carville are fuddy-duddy Boomers who don't know what time it is, that Conversion needs to happen now or it will fail because the March is finished and is increasingly subject to outsider threats by regressive sub-human wreckers - and besides, they're owed it. The Marchers promised Conversion, and it's time to deliver - or else.

I don't know which camp is correct, but it was obvious that they had to reach this point. The Marchers spent decades cultivating radical, amoral (at best) monster babies and their efforts brought stupendous success. They got an entire generation of monster babies, and it was a mega-generation at that. The Millennials are a radical generation, lovingly crafted by the Marchers to be aggressively progressive - and it worked. The Marchers developed them and promised them victory. Now that they're middle-aged, the Millennials are moving into positions of real power and as they move up, they want to realize what they were promised - and they have the extra motivation of an aggressive push from below by their even more radical (if numerically smaller and much less monolithic) younger cohorts.

The March is not yet quite in the rearview mirror, but it is in its endgame. Conversion will be attempted, and the only remaining open questions are "when" and "will it work?" I don't know, but I think Carville is whistling past the graveyard and knows it. He and his kind spent decades promising Conversion - and their monster babies are getting tired of waiting.

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

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

It takes money and resources to fund a march and what we've learned recently about Cuba and Singham, which is shorthand for the CCP, it seems pretty clear a lot of the DSA momentum is do to foreign funding.

2020 was the first attempt to do that. They wanted a complete collapse of the economy worldwide and civil conflict. That's why they were grooming red cadre military guys like Milley, et al. They'd swoop in as the strong men and install a 'temporary security' government. 2020 was an attempt at a neo-marxist revolution.

31 The problem I have with the Fauci grilling is that it's kind of like how they handled Hitler. They put it ALL on ONE GUY. So he's the fall guy. In reality, Fauci is just another puppet, working for larger, darker forces, who escape being exposed. When I hear Republicans say it was all to feed Fauci's personal megamania and bank accounts, it's just disgusting.

Ask, "Why are the Dems so unanimously on Fauci's side?" Their states were harmed more than red states! Fauci was part of a REPUBLICAN administration! Why aren't they trying to pin this on TRUMP!?! This is a MEDICAL matter, right? [sarc] The answer is because they work for the same puppeteers that pulled Fauci's strings, and Trump is their worst enemy.

>>Researchers say the nonprofits under scrutiny engage in a dynamic known as "narrative convergence," echoing the propaganda of foreign adversaries. In a new report, the Network Contagion Research Institute, based in Princeton, N.J., documented how the Democratic Socialists of America sent delegations to China, Cuba and Venezuela and then, upon returning to the United States, deployed slogans at protests that mirror the anti-U.S. rhetoric of those governments.

47 Why does the DSA message resonate?

Because the vast majority of Republicans offer nothing.
No alternative message.
They do nothing.

Because we don't have leaders*, we have managers.
They didn't "come up" through America--they were born in the C-suite.
Their loyalty is to their caste, not to their country.

* except Trump. And oh how much they hate him for that.
So much of their seething hatred is born from exposing that they'd rather safely manage the decline of America than take a stand, any stand at all, to protect and save her.
Look at where their passion flashes, where their blood shows:
It's never for America, for her people, for you.

64 Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

The difference is the old standard-bearer of Democratic socialism was old, ugly, angry Bernie Sanders almost incoherently screeching about "Wall Street." He was like the frowning, scowling, smelly uncle screaming at trees that nobody wanted to invite to family events.

But even then, Bernie probably woulda been the Democrap nominee in 2016 -- if he didn't take a dive for Hillary.

The newer gen of Dem socialists are younger, mostly better looking, more dynamic, with generally more positive messages, and much more media-savvy. Of course this is a much better "pitch" to voters.

It also comes at the right time when the country is staggeringly wealthy and there's an entire younger generation of over-educated but under-qualified "downwardly mobile elites" who want the CEO's salary but don't want to work for it.

The old decrepit wing of the Democrap party will cling to power until it's ripped from their dying hands. But that day is coming. The GOP has a good oppotunity here, but the odds that they will blow it are high.

73 Make no mistake. The messaging about the DSA will "evolve".

Right now Democrats are simply calling them extreme.

Check back a little later when it's "they might be extreme but they have a message and are getting traction, we would be crazy to ignore them"

Then "what might seem extreme to us is not extreme to people who have grown up very unhappy in capitalism. They have only seen inequality and they want better things for all."

Then - "you know, at one time, the dominant parties thought Civil Rights was extreme. Maybe it's just a matter of perspective."

Etc etc etc and on and on and yawn and yawn

I already have the whole movie in my head. That's just the next few. There are 6 to 8 more beyond that but it might depend on how well the op is going, and if the jolt to the left is getting traction.

If older known Democrats start approving too openly and too quickly, it can look inorganic.

Also if the operation fails and the country rejects DSA wholesale, then they all approved it and have nowhere to go from there.

Having people like Jones and Carville distancing gives them plausible deniability as these first months of the operation get rolling. The DSA is what every single "made" Democrat wants for America. Remember they laughed while our cities burned. They have tried and succeeded at jailing and killing people who merely disagree with them.

Depends which working class you are talking about.

The "civil service" working class -- people in government working blue-collar type jobs -- are big on DSA because DSA is basically Very Big Government.

When you work for the government, you want a avaricious, ever-expanding government because that's who pays your salary and gives you raises. DSA is your ticket to that.

The working class that rejects DSA is the same kind of working class that's been gravitating to MAGA: private-sector working class that sees Very Big Government as a threat to their livelihoods and freedoms.

139 @130 Piper, no the pardon is the pardon for crimes committed between 2014 and 1/25. His taking the Fifth today can be used for a contempt or obstruction charge because he is immune to prosecution for the period in question and can't incriminate himself .

142 If everyone regardless of the exact beliefs and methods, seems to agree that the "DSA" is going to take over a major party - then that leaves only the opposition in question.

And as an opposition party, Republicans have not been living their best life, but once a generation lead by a TV personality.

That means we know two things. Democrats are about to become much more open about being a communist party. And two, if past (and current, looking at you SAVE) performance is an indicator of future success, Republicans aren't gonna put up a whole lot of a fight.

I'd assume there are some current, sitting Democrat Senators who'd not be too happy with that sentiment.

DSA will have to overcome that.

Unless those Senators decide to join in. And that goes for the GOP as well. I'd figure on any number of them joining up with the DSA if meant keeping their cushy job.

157 An excellent post.

I'm old(er) and view Carville as just trying to keep riding high on his War Room persona & antics of yesteryear. He, Bill & Hillary, George Stephanopoulos, many other old American heads still floating around are done governing anything & anyone - unless they're sending big money.

Fetterman is from PA, had young parents who worked for their success. He attended great schools, married a woman who came with her mom & brother to the US illegally, & they now have 3 kids in private school. But ALL in their household routinely interface with 'common' people.

Millennials are a different, crafted species altogether. In institutional power, they may have deeply progressive views on climate change, economic inequality, and social justice, but their methods will shift toward policy, legislation, and bureaucratic management. Much of their political focus may be structural reforms to affordability & family support systems & rewriting internal rules of governance & corporate culture instead of tearing it down.

But their children will also be quite different governing:

161 Fauci got a blanket pardon for things up to the date of the pardon. Put aside the robo-pen issues and assume it's a valid pardon.

Because he has a pardon Fauci can't plead the Fifth so he has to testify truthfully. Paul could set him up with a perjury trap. Or Fauci would need to sing like a canary.

But hold on -- Fauci might argue that Joe's pardon is only for federal crimes so he still has exposure on past crimes and needs the Fifth. This gets into the weeds, and I'm not a criminal lawyer.

Paul's next move is to hold Fauci in criminal contempt and jail him until he testifies. This happens to journalists who are protecting their sources.

I'll take the bet that no judge will interfere in this.

Going to jail is for contempt is Fauci's best move.

>>So he plead the 5th for future crimes not covered by the pardon. But did he put the pardon itself at risk for not answering anything?

There is no precedent of testing the limits or contours of a Presidential Pardon, so he's under no jeopardy.

But that does not mean the limits of his pardon should not be challenged.

165 Those in this camp believe that the March is not yet done, there is not yet enough control to pursue Conversion

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

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

No. No, there has not.

After all the effort CBD puts in, particularly in arranging for Kris to provide education and examples of how to approach art critically, this is how The Horde repays him?

You have gone far beyond disappointing him. You have driven him to reside in New Jersey. *New Jersey*! To forego many of the simple pleasures of life, such as maple syrup on French Toast. To increasingly shoot 9mm instead of .45 ACP.

We are driving him to the depths of despair, deeper even than Ace's lack of close tags is pushes him.

167 There seems to be disagreement over Fauci taking the 5th on every question since he's been pardoned. It'd be nice if some legal eagle would set the record straight on all that.

And, Fauci's pardon goes back to 2014. What he'd do in 2014 that would require a pardon? That was years before covid. Was he engaged in something unsavory back then too?

Rand Paul should ask Fauci about that.

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

Nobody gets sworn out, as far as I’m concerned government employees are under oath at all times and places.

Exposure times for early photography were long compared to today. It was hard to maintain a smile that long so they seldom did. I've seen portraits where a metal brace was used to keep the head still. Aside from that, I wonder if smiling in a photo portrait back then was considered inappropriate.

I hope this waste of skin enjoys the limelight, the riches, and fame as a supposed reward for his crimes. There will be a time when his life will be demanded of him. Julia Roberts fawning all over him won't help him much when he has to stand before God and answer for his life.

I would play "That Was Yesterday" by Foreigner but going to bed last night made me tired today. It is also the weather as I am a sensitive soul (we have clouds, wind, and drops of rain in our drought). I have turned into a barometer.

Fear is a powerful motivator. The media spent 6 months saying the virus could live for 12 days on a surface. It was a bioweapon so it was preposterous but somewhat believable.

People can be controlled through fear. The idea thar they can't scare people again with something else is unfortunately wishful thinking.

Not enough people for it to matter, and nobody who has ever spent a moment themselves thinking that Fauci is a national hero is about to change their minds when they see him invoking the 5th under questioning from those mean old republicans.

The Morning Report — 7/ 29 /26

MengeleFauci.jpg


Good morning kids. Lots of news to unpack this morning, especially the thoroughly unsurprising yet utterly disgusting revelations about Anthony Fauci courtesy of his little red book, that is his diary. It is not hyperbole to state that he has the blood of tens if not hundreds of thousands of people on his hands because of his direct actions in creating the COVID-19 virus for the Red Chinese and then unleashing it on the world in a lab that was in whole or in part funded by our taxpayer dollars. This horrid bastard will for sure be roasting in Hell one day, but likely will be untouched by our justice system, such as it is.


As it turns out, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is good for something after all. 

Just to recap, Paul obtained and released more than 1,100 pages of the private diaries Fauci kept between 2019 and 2022 as part of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s investigation into the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. You've probably seen by now that they contained a lot of Fauci fawning over himself and tracking his own celebrity, awards, and media coverage, as well as him saying some not so nice things about his critics.. . Then-Sen. Rubio was quite critical of many of Fauci's statements back then, particularly saying that there was no need for people to go around wearing masks. He also accused Fauci of distorting the percentage of the population that would require vaccinations to reach herd immunity.  Fauci's response? He said he was being a "real a*****e."

Speaking of Marco Rubio, Democrat election thievery as well as Democrat-fomented assassination attempts and political terrrorism notwithstanding, I think Marco Rubio stands a pretty good chance at becoming POTUS if not in this go round then perhaps 2032 or afterwards. His tenure as Secretary of State has been outstanding, the situation in Iran notwithstanding, although that situation really is on President Trump, and it is his to resolve despite the fact that he's dealing with dark age savages intent on unleashing armageddon on the world as the precursor to total Islamic conquest of the planet,

But as for Rubio, under the aegis of Trump, he is on the cutting edge of helping transform the perpetually socialist Latin America into free-market America friendly nations. And as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and in the sidebar)

Cuba might at long last be on the verge of if not at the very least have a shot at liberating itself as the tropical paradise caribbean gulag that it has been condemned to suffer for 67 years. It seems that Rubio and Trump are making the moves to see that come to fruition.

The truth is it's a complicated process. This isn't Venezuela. We likely won't have a clean and tidy(-ish) ending to the regime. You can't just take out one guy, neutralize his cronies, cut off their revenue stream, and start over with Marco Rubio in charge. The Cuban regime is older, more decentralized, and designed to withstand such moves. The power lies within the Communist Party, the military’s economic empire (GAESA), and a deep security apparatus.

There's also the media problem. The number of MSM fake news stories from anonymous sources about Cuba is exhausting, and it drives me insane how many prominent people report on them or share them as if they are fact.  For example, for a while, there was this idea that the Trump administration's goal for liberating Cuba was the end of this year. It was fun to buy into, and I didn't find it all that outlandish pre-Iran, but Rubio put a stop to that kind of talk last week when speaking to the press.

Well, as the President himself is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. Look how far we've come from "Little Marco" to perhaps being his most trusted and effective ally.

As for Iran, this just underscores who and what we're dealing with.

Both men were convicted on charges stemming from clashes that Iranian authorities say resulted in the deaths of four security officers. Human rights groups say the men were sentenced after proceedings marred by allegations of torture, forced confessions, and closed-door trials. 

The executions stem from the nationwide uprising that began in late December after a currency collapse, soaring inflation, and worsening living conditions sparked protests across Iran. Iranian regime forces responded with a sweeping crackdown that included internet shutdowns, mass arrests, and the widespread use of lethal force. . . Videos shared by Iran International showed residents gathering overnight in hopes of stopping the executions before authorities dispersed the crowd. 

We've long hoped and prayed that something might ignite the spark that at long last lets the Iranian people take to the streets and directly take on the regime, or gives those within the security services the ability to turn on their overlords and join the people.

At this point, it's a pipe dream but that's what the Ceaucescus thought as they were hoisted up on a lamp post not all that long ago.

And who knew that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were Mullahs (here they whip the women round about midnight)...


¡Cuba Libre, Iran Libre!

And most importantly AMERICA LIBRE!!!!!!


You’d think socialism’s 100-plus-year record of failure would be enough to dissuade people from embracing tenets that led to the horrors of Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, etc. But hope springs eternal, apparently.

(And, just for the record, despite what Bernie Sanders says, the Nordic countries are not socialist. Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway come in seventh, eighth, 10th, and 11th, respectively, in the Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom. Switzerland comes in second place. The U.S. ranks 22nd.)

What’s even more unfathomable is why Democrats have such a positive view of the DSA when they reject many of its central positions.

I expect absolutely nothing from today's episode of DC Bukkake Theatre. Fauci won't so much as get his hair mussed. I guarantee one or most of these responses from him:

1. I don't remember.
2. I plead the Fifth (or not; I'm told he can't).
3. That's your interpretation.
4. I did the best I could with the knowledge at the time.
5. The diaries are fake.
6. I'm being quoted out of context.
7. The Sideshow Bob defense (you NEED me, America).
8. America couldn't handle the truth!

19 Mamdami's grocery store plan is beyond stupid and doomed to fail. I live in the South Bronx, so I know.

The plan is to put one large store in each borough. In The Bronx, it'll be over in Hunts Point which is four miles from me. The stores will have limited offerings, and only promise deep discounts on a few items.

Now here's the thing: Most South Bronx residents don't have cars. That's why they use bodegas.

They're not going to schlepp without a car to save a dollar on a gallon of milk. You could make the milk free and they still wouldn't go. That's why they use bodegas.

Will the Ds on the panel fillibuster in support of Fauci, or realize he's Toxic?

Fauci's crimes affected all Americans, often badly and tragically. Will Media try to ignore the revelations?

30 Well, China is now officially in the game with backing and supplying the IRGC with weapons, cash and supplies. Probably happening for a while now but it's out in the open and they aren't hiding it. That's probably not a good sign.

Trump, again, caved on escalation of bombing power plants and such....then did the cease fire thing again, allowing China unfettered access to flood Iran with material for war. Now Iran has the means to continually strike Gulf states and that includes our bases. We also haven't figured out drone defense to a large degree. And Trump is begging for a deal and an off ramp. Not gonna happen, in for a penny in for a pound. Let's hope he doesn't fall for the ground troops trick.

Reordering global energy markets? Good.
Screwing with China and setting them back in that regard? Good
Gulf States turning on Iran? Good.
Everything else? Catostrophic.

that's one thing i've wondered, how do they intend to make sure only the needy get the groceries?

I mean, what's to stop an evil capitalist from going to that store and buying what they need then reselling it at the bodega with their markup? or to stop the stripping of the shelves by people buying it all up to hoard?

or my favorite, the "rich" people in town using the store as well for it's discounts.

33 The survey underscores broad public backing for election integrity measures. These findings make congressional Democrat obstruction of the SAVE America Act in Congress even less tenable, considering that a clear majority of the party’s supporters back election integrity measures, including voter ID.

Name one Democrat who'll lose their position due to their opposition to SAVE. I can't say that any of the Republican incumbents who've lost their offices are due, specifically, to that but Cornyn could have saved himself if only his comrades had preferred to keep him in the Senate over continuing to permit election fraud.

What Mamdami is saying is that he and his tribe of misfit blue hairs and third world savages in suits think that they know how to run a grocery chain better than an established grocery chains that already runs on tight margins.

They get to learn about establishing a supply chain, handling multiple vendors, distribution centers, union rules, staffing, shoplifting, rotation of product, regulation and health code compliance, building maintenance, covering utility, insurance and taxes from cash flow.

Essentially they will hire according to DEI totem pole, will have deadbeats and entitled bureaucrats in shop aprons and we see a repeat of the empty shelves, rats and filth that accompany every other attempt of command and control economies.

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

I’ve become very impatient with Trump’s approach on Iran. I am, quite frankly, tired of the hollow threats and talk of “deals”… the whole notion of any deal with these savages is ridiculous.

My advice (for what it’s worth which is probably not much): Stop talking. Stop talking. Blockade and bomb. Targeted leadership decapitation strikes if you have the intel. Bridges. Power plants. That last nuclear site that I just heard about that inexplicably we haven’t already hit. Bomb military infrastructure into rubble then make the rubble bounce. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

I admire your charitable take on this. I am somewhat more cynical.

In those cases, he sided with his own financial and celebrity interests. That was a conscious and deliberate choice, and he knew what he was doing.

114 Fauci's relentless push for gain of function research, even when it was shot down by the DoD and others, is what led to research being done in Wuhan. He knew as soon as he saw the design of the virus where it came from and he knew he was ultimately at least partially responsible.

It was obvious from day 1 the virus didn't come from a pangolin getting in on with a bat in a wet market, Fauci knew it didn't and said so in his diary, but he continued to lie to the world to protect himself. And it all spiraled from there.

I as general proposition, I like JD a lot. He might make a good Prezzy.

But, he's certainly making some odd decisions like palling around with Ol' Tucky Tuckerson.

I'm beginning to think that he's finally figured out that whoever follows Trump in office will have to have the same will of iron to get things done, because enemies are all-around and will feel freer to act once Trump no longer has the Presidency.

It will be a tough 8 years and he has young kids. That may be the deciding factor because it's unlikely he'll get to spend a lot of time with them.

And, a 'kinder, gentler Trump" won't fly in those circumstances.

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

She would not, could not believe that capitalist prosperity provided such a good life.

One time when I visited Romania on business he took me to one of Ceausescu's old mansions, he had a few, that had been turned into a sort of museum and park. One of the out buildings had been turned into a cafe.

As we were eating lunch he kept looking over his shoulder and speaking in hushed tones. I asked him what he was doing and he apologized and said it was habit. Under communism, every public place was bugged or had people hired to listen for subversive talk.

It boggles my mind that given what communism always produces how anyone, no matter how stupid, thinks this time it will be different.

Let's suppose for a moment that Trump isn't lying and Iran really was on the verge of having weapons grade enriched uranium.

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

Will it work? Remains to be seen. But I don't think Trump acted foolishly and nothing Iran has done since the start of this leads me to believe if they had gotten nukes they wouldn't have used them to threaten the world, control the Strait or worse, use them.

There was no end to the Communist regime in Venezuela, clean & tidy, or otherwise.

It's statements like those that make me wonder about ConInc media. Do they think their readers are so retarded they'll just believe anything and say "yep, there was regime change in VZ?"

“These are people who have opened restaurants, they’ve opened other businesses, they’ve rehabbed houses, they’ve created jobs, as well as filled jobs. And so to lose them and have them not be able to work anymore and possibly taken out of this country is frankly a blow to Springfield, and it’s a blow to the state of Ohio,” he said.

As far as them having "opened restaurants, they’ve opened other businesses, they’ve rehabbed houses, they’ve created jobs," yeah, because we've since learned they were given priority over citizens for SBA loans, housing, etc..

222 Would you have allowed Iran to get nuclear capable weapons that could reach Europe and soon the US mainland or tried to stop them?

Europe didn't seem to care.

In fact: European powers tried to create a special payment system called INSTEX in 2019 to bypass U.S. sanctions and keep trade alive with Iran

in 2015 with the JCPOA, the EU sprinted to work deals with Iran. In 2018, Trump threatened EU to stop or that the EU would lose access to the US's financial system.

So Europe never had any fear of Iran lobbing nukes in their direction. EU's only fear was pissing off Trump. Once Trump leaves office, the EU is going right back in to Iran to do business as usual.

301 So . . . . . . . .that weasel bastard Fauci took the 5th.

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

Fk these people. Enough. To the breach, if necessary.

302 Among his many, many loathsome traits, Fauci's utter lack of empathy really stood out.

Shortly after Fauci flopped from arguing masks do not good to arguing everyone had to be double masked we have an email chain he had with a friend of his where she pointed out people around her weren't masking and asked Fauci if that was dangerous.

His answer? No.

The beautiful and globe-trotting Mrs naturalfake and I ate a wonderful Bistecca alla Fiorentina in Florence.

The recipe is dead simple. So, the important part is in the technique. Basically, a two inch Porterhouse, salt and a masterful sear completely covering the steak in Maillard Reaction glory while leave the interior rare.

I have a relative in the food biz who recommended the place as the place to get Steak Florentine. It was a dumpy, little, out of the way, five table restaurant but the food was really, really good.

Anyway, Florentine isn't just a word, unless they're not actually making a Steak Florentine.

Why is it getting old? Aside from higher gas prices how is what's happening in Iran affecting any of us in any way?

Gas prices would be going up if Trump completely destroys Iran. You can't just remove that supply of oil from the world supply and have it not have an affect.

What is not being reported nearly enough is that while this is happening the Middle East is being reordered. The Saudis are now actively attacking Iran and so are others. The Abraham Accords are growing. We don't need another ISIS in Iran just like we got in Iraq, Syria and Libya. There are repercussions to blowing up a Middle East country and leaving. We've seen that movie repeatedly. Let's try something different.

BREAKING: Sen. Rand Paul announces Dr. Fauci is officially OBSTRUCTING an investigation by Congress today by pleading the 5th and there will be "consequences"

Fauci's illegal activity happened AFTER THE BIDEN PARDON, meaning he's now VULNERABLE.

"The Chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer. But you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon."

"The Committee will have to consider, after this hearing, what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so."

I agree with you completely on that, always have. Which is why I have always been opposed to any ceasefires or extended negotiations. I believe that because of the nature of the regime, these attempts are all guaranteed to fail, and that pursuing them only guarantees that this conflict will still be going on during the midterm elections.

McConnell... has only ever coincidentally done things that we wanted. Like most of that crew of reprobate and ne'er-do-wells.

Marco, well... like many of you, I like what I'm seeing these days. I hope it's deep and sincere.

Iran sanctions: Europe has always seen sanctions as a polite fiction. They'll say, "Well, our government of course complies" while winking and nudging every company in their country to make private deals with the sanctions targets. Because they want that sweet sweet blackmarket markup? IDK.

I am also glad that I am not Fauci. Despite being very wealthy, I would not want to be in the position of having to have armed guards all the time because so many people are angry at me. Trump has the same deal, but he was not responsible for so much hurt and anger because of Covid lockdowns and the death of millions.

357 Above, 'A blow to the state of Ohio.'

AI Overview, just Edu.

While the state did not scale up its workforce as a whole, specific cities experiencing rapid population growth from legally present immigrant & refugee communities were forced to hire specialized staff:
Springfield City School District: Due to an influx of Haitian families, the district used pandemic-relief funds to hire about two dozen English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and multiple Haitian-Creole interpreters to accommodate hundreds of new students.

Columbus and Urban Hubs: Districts with high newcomer populations have actively tried to recruit multilingual instructors. However, these efforts are often restricted by complex certification rules for immigrant educators, making rapid scale-ups difficult.

Rather than creating unique roles, schools scale up existing positions. The state employs an estimated 43,000 immigrants within its broader education services sector.

School districts independently hire ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers, Bilingual Assistants, and International Student Liaisons to manage language gaps, but these positions serve all non-native speakers regardless of legal status.

Posted by: JackStraw at July 29, 2026 09:19 AM (viF8m)
------------
Iranian oil supply to the world market was about 3 million barrels a day last year, a small amount easily made up from other suppliers, including us.

So blowing up Iran would have nearly a zero impact on gas prices. But Iran choking off the flow through Hormuz, of oil, natgas, and fertilizer feedstocks, now that has an impact.

Thank you - the idea that we can’t touch Iran’s oil industry is a straw man argument because:
A) it by itself is not that big a part of world production, and
B) we have no strategic need to do it, so long as they’re not able to sell it.

The Iranian effort to block Saudi, Kuwaiti, and other middle eastern oil supplies from the market is what is damaging. Ending That, and achieving full control over the straits, is what MUST be done in order for lower oil prices to come about.

Iran is holding world oil prices hostage. You never get your hostages back by meekly negotiating with the hostage takers.

Minneapolis, MN, USA – Skyway System: ~9.5–10+ miles connecting 80+ blocks and 150+ buildings, mostly at the 2nd (sometimes 3rd) floor. Links offices, retail, restaurants, hotels, sports venues, and some residences. One of the largest continuous systems; public during business hours.

Calgary, Canada – +15 (Plus 15) Walkway: 16 km with 86 bridges connecting ~130 buildings. Roughly 15 feet above street level (some +30/+45 levels). Climate-controlled public network linking downtown offices, retail, and services.

KAFD (King Abdullah Financial District), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – KAFD Skyway Network: 15.46 km continuous with 42 skywalks connecting 95 buildings. Elevated, fully climate-controlled mixed-use system (offices, residences, retail, hospitality, entertainment) designed as a compact “city within a city.”

Hong Kong – Central Elevated Walkway + city-wide footbridges: Extensive multi-level network across Central, Admiralty, Sheung Wan and beyond. Typically at podium levels (1st–3rd/4th floors). Dense three-dimensional public realm connecting malls, offices, hotels, MTR stations, ferries, and public spaces.

29 Des Moines, IA, USA – Skywalk System: ~4 miles connecting 55 buildings and ~40 blocks. Climate-controlled elevated pathways linking buildings, parking, and event centers.

Winnipeg, Canada – Notable skywalk/skyway system (smaller scale than Calgary or Minneapolis).
Rochester, MN, USA – Skyway system (notable but smaller).

Cedar Rapids, IA, USA – Skyway system (notable but smaller).

Cincinnati, OH, USA – Skywalk system (notable but smaller).

Raffles City Chongqing, China – “The Crystal” skybridge system: Massive ~300 m horizontal structure connecting multiple towers at high elevation (around the 42nd-floor / ~250 m range). Links residential, commercial, hotel, and public elements; includes ticketed public skywalk/observation experiences.

Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Two-story skybridge at floors 41–42 (170 m up). Ticketed public access primarily for observation and views.

In the story about Claud Opus, one of the responses was a reference to Jorge Luis Borges, "When the Map Becomes the Territory." That sounds familiar, though I have read very little of Borges. He was a proponent of "magical realism," I understand, though I'm not sure what that is when it's at home.

63 Last night I dreamed about being a Clifton Webb-like college professor with a young female graduate student who seemed to find me fascinating. A college database platform was being phased out. There was a deadline to enter an online contest before the platform vanished to win an all-expenses paid trip to somewhere I didn't find interesting . . . except that said female grad student was encouraging me strongly to enter the contest (it was, conveniently, a trip for two).

The details are blurry, except the college seemed to be located in a 1970s mall, and the graduate student was a blonde. I guess that's enough to go on.

Aside from just looking up the lyrics and reading them, there are a couple of options for having them on screen to follow along with. The official video has closed captioning:

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

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

124 When I was a boy my job was to get the bale from the ground up to the stacker. The stacker was always a boss. He was catching bales from all sides the whole time with no break.

Our stacker was Les. He was much more than Les.

Damn, that old guy will outlive me and is worth every penny of his expensive medications and outrageous food bills, if just for entertainment value alone.

129 Gavin Newsom’s bombshell affair decades ago came back to haunt him on Tuesday as his former mistress described their fling in explosive detail — including their steamy hot tub session and the ex-aide’s confession to her husband that it was just about sex.

Ruby Rippey, a former City Hall aide to the then-San Francisco mayor, relived the scandalous tryst in an unsparing tell-all to Vanity Fair published Tuesday.

Newsom is widely expected to launch a 2028 presidential campaign after terming out of the governor’s office next year. In that context, he has sought to fully own his role in the affair, which he recounted in his memoir earlier this year.

But in Rippey’s new piece, she claims that reading those parts of the memoir made her feel unsettled.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - July 28, 2026 [Doof]

HOPOH_ia0AEfDCi.jpg
From The Rubber Chicken

Howdy Hordelings - Welcome to the Tuesday ONT! Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

***


More on that lead photo -

There was quite a storm up in Alberta a few days ago. Check out this video from Twista Hunterz on Facebook

Amazing stuff!


-----

Big day for Dr. Fauci tomorrow. Will he show up? If so, will he actually answer any questions?

HOP_MEFW4AAkl_0.jpg


Guy sure is full of himself

Throwback to a great moment in sports history

-----

Word of the day - "cootermogging"

What's that, you ask? Here's Grok (replying to your humble host)

Cootermogging is a fresh internet slang blend of "cooter" (crude slang for female genitals) and "mogging" (looksmaxxing term for dominating or outshining someone in physical appeal).

It describes a woman delivering talking points while using overtly sexual body language or presentation—tight clothes, open legs, suggestive poses—to capture and dominate male attention. Coined yesterday about a viral conservative influencer clip.

Not gonna post the video in question here. But feel free to check out this post from "allan" on X to get the backstory.


-----

Thomas Massie can be asshoe a lot of the time, but I think he's correct with this idea. Not sure of the specifics of his bill, but Flock cameras are VERY much asshoe!

New Massie bill aims to block federal funds from cities, police that use controversial Flock Safety cameras

Rep. Thomas Massie is introducing a bill to strip federal funding from any local governments or police departments that deploy controversial Flock Safety security cameras, the Kentucky Republican announced on Saturday.

Flock Safety, the Atlanta-based company behind the controversial smart-cameras that can track a car based on its dents, bumper stickers and roof racks, is now the target of new legislation being sponsored by the Libertarian congressman in an effort to strengthen the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and government surveillance.

***

Flock has quietly become law enforcement’s go-to surveillance tool around the country and has already wired itself into more than 5,000 police agencies nationwide with nearly 90,000 cameras since 2018, according to DeFlock, an activist group tracking the company’s surveillance and expansion.


Seriously, there is an outrageous amount of overreach with all of these cameras everywhere.

Here's an example from Phoenix


The elected officials who authorize this stuff don't like it when the tables are turned


Read more about Flock at this post on X

So what is Flock?

FLOCK: 100,000+ plate cameras bolted to poles across America. They read your plate everywhere you drive and never forget.

NOVA: Flock's AI that turns your plate into you. Your name, address, family, everyone you know, in seconds, no warrant.

SIGNALTRACE: a competitor's tool that tracks the Bluetooth off your phone, your AirPods, your watch. Doesn't even need your plate.

Then I followed the money and the lead investor behind Flock also funds an Israeli company that can hack cameras and change the footage. Another lead investor backs a 911 app that flips on your phone's camera and mic. Trace it all the way back and you hit a former Israeli prime minister and Jeffrey Epstein's money.

Full article with photos and receipts is on my Substack now (link in bio). Enjoy!

53 I'm a retired IT guy, and I cannot figure out what all the Data Center capacity is going to be used for.

Even AI, which is a very risky bet at this point, would not need anywhere near the capacity that THIRD PARTY vendors are building in these data centers.

So... as nothing is slow now, why the Yuge need for increase in capacity, being funded by third party capital?

Only thing I can think of for that amount of capacity, is things like the need to be able to parse things like the Flock Cameras... and of course, going to virtual money (which, we already pretty much have).

When we lived in SC the neighbors across the street had a beautiful magnolia tree in their front yard. It was the largest one we had ever seen.

Their kids came over one day and told us their mom was going to have it removed because she could not see everything on her Ring camera. The street was not a thru street.

She had an estimate for the removal and it was costly so she had her husband out on a ladder cutting off the branches. He butchered it.

Mostly old people like us living there, lol. We all laughed about how exciting it was for her watching old people.

Private equity [think Romney's Bane Capital as a model] is buying up businesses like orthodontists and bowling alleys because the investment companies can make money from borrowing low and buying real companies that they can strip money out of.

I work with AI planning agents for about 80% of my day and have replaced teams of a dozen or so Indians. Even with some of the going off the reservation that GPT 5.4 will do, the product is far better than the low craftsmanship slop that was generated by contractors.

That said, most work can be done by simpler models that can be hosted on-prem. Once the novelty wears off and people realize that we don't need even a fraction of the generative AI that is LLMs there ought to be a slackening. Also, China is lapping the world in commodity LLM work. Not yet in the frontier tier, but soon will be if the pace of the IP theft and government involvement continues.

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

There is another school that thinks that the financing of homes is one of the things that holds the interest rates to reasonable rates.

157 I know several people that are not going to die and turn over 2 million or so.

Even Matt Walsh was proposing a system where lets say a guy with $5MM and low expenses gives his son an advance on the inheritance to buy a home now, saving his spawn the costs of rent or paying interest on a mortgage.

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

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

I secretly hope they are illegals and ICE will visit, but am unsure as I can't see them through the trees.

I told the lady that I was trying to read something and couldn't as it was right after I woke up in a good mood.

I did not tell her I was debating how to kill the dog that barks at air. I am not a violent person otherwise.

Repost from the cafe:
I'd like again to recommend to anyone not of the X body that Xcancel.com Redirector works well with my Win11+Vivaldi browser setup.

Recent change to X won't let me watch videos on X (but on embeds here it will) without sign-up. X may have fixed this but I don't care because that Redirector automatically redirects any x.com links to xcancel.com.

Seems there's been a good change on xcancel, too: Before, besides changing x to xcancel in the URL, it wouldn't accept a long URL with the "?" and info at the end. In now doesn't seem to matter. Also now does a check for bothood, sometimes, but it's quick.

xcancel > x also because you can full-screen without starting the video.

So, I'm enjoying all the x vids from the cafe again.😎

It would make for an interesting court case. The plate itself would not be covered, or altered in any way, and would remain human-readable. And if the lasers did indeed render the plate unreadable by the nazi camera, how will the nazis know who to charge. The plate is the only ID for which a record exists.

Ahh, a babe in the woods. Ring pioneered AI mesh camera networks so that they all work in unison to aid LEOs for years before Flock came around.

Unless you have acreage there is no privacy.

Four of the houses have the Ring cameras. We don't.

219 >>> 53 I'm a retired IT guy, and I cannot figure out what all the Data Center capacity is going to be used for.

Even AI, which is a very risky bet at this point, would not need anywhere near the capacity that THIRD PARTY vendors are building in these data centers.

So... as nothing is slow now, why the Yuge need for increase in capacity, being funded by third party capital?

Only thing I can think of for that amount of capacity, is things like the need to be able to parse things like the Flock Cameras... and of course, going to virtual money (which, we already pretty much have).

Not really. Some of the more celebrated examples of Flock finding a bad guy (like serial murderers and bank robbers) came only from a description of the vehicle.

Most people don't record license plates. So LEOs queried the system on a description of the car and soon there were hits on the vehicle.

Cops just make a pretext stop, ask questions until they get PC, then arrests are made. Flock doesn't even have to be mentioned in court.

I can't see the dog in the summer due to trees. I can hear his stupid bark, however. I have heard of some thing you can put in the tree and when he barks it hurts his ears or trains him to shut up. It's been years ago since I saw this and would climb a tree if it worked.

I'd rather use the slingshot for the owners but this dog is a mess. Maybe Animal Control kidnapped him today since it was hot. I can have hope.

Stupid people. I'd prefer to put something in the tree to hurt their ears.

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three shared screens in 1974 with Claudine, Three the Hard Way, Crazy Joe and Death Wish and, as the city’s fiscal crisis became global headlines, was followed by Dog Day Afternoon and Report to the Commissioner in 1975 before the cinematic capstones to the subgenre: Taxi Driver (1976) and The Warriors (1979).

The only possible lasting good might be more electrical generation, if it is insisted upon. How not to lose your shirt? Don’t put any of your money in it.

Well, I, for one, would never buy/lease a surveillance camera system that did not give me 100% exclusive control over the videos captured by it. If there might be useful information in my records for a criminal investigation/lost child, whatever, I would release such video as might prove useful to that case. If I thought there was anything hinky about the request, there would be an unfortunate hard disc crash.

279 There was a tech guy who had a neighbor with a barking dog that barked all day that bothered him because he worked from his home studio. So he rigged up a repeater that recorded the dog's bark and played it back in a delay of 1/2 to 4 seconds, provoking the dog to bark even more, until it was so wound up it barked at everything non-stop. Then he went on vacation for a couple of days and left it on all the time.
He recorded it on a separate device and referred to the recording as "A Phillip Glass composition in Bark"

282 A couple of bright spots this week:

No sign that the bladder cancer is coming back. Scoping and microscopic pathology both came back clean. I'll see the urologist later in the week, perhaps to go on a yearly schedule for scoping rather than every three months.

Heart ultrasound also came back good. Mild valve "regurgitation" which may be the cause of the "heart murmur" I've had for many years. Good enough that I won't need another ultrasound for 3-5 years, and will go to yearly visits with the cardiologist.

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

296 Momsen Lung:

A British sailor named John Capes escaped from the sunken sub HMS Perseus in WWII, by using the Brit version of a Momsen lung.

Sole survivor. He was a Brit sailor on board Perseus as a passenger, not a crewman, so he wasn't listed as a member of the Perseus' crew.

For 20 years the Brits were very doubtful about his astonishing story. Maybe he invented the story because he was AWOL?

When the Perseus was located & surveyed in the 1980s, they found unmistakable proof that Capes' story was true. But Capes had died of natural causes many years earlier.

312 They will never become self-aware in the sense of life but they will be programmed to seem so.

The danger behind AI is like the danger behind most other things - how reprehensible humans will use the technology for their own nefarious ends, and to the detriment of the world.

I am immediately skeptical of any AI purveyors (not people like us shooting the shit but those like Zuckerberg and the like) who talk of the grand dangers of AI becoming self-aware and evil - they are projecting their own nature onto something that does not exist.

Maybe it's not a conscious thing... or maybe... they want us to believe *that* is where the danger of AI lies. In AI itself. When the reality is far more mundane and roughly a billion times as frightening. They are the danger.

Dear Diary,
A quick note before I throw out the first pitch at a baseball game (fame is exciting; they begged me to do it!). The Nationals pitching staff told me that I'm a natural, I think they really like me! I told them I didn't want to end up like Barack but they said he's probably more of a catcher than a pitcher and that I didn't need to worry! TTFN!!!

I was reading about this the other day. Per federal law, the Federal Records Act and other, any "diaries" by a govt official, where said official discusses and comments on the exercise of his duties which are official govt. policy are the property of the federal govt. And that's the way it should be. Doesn't matter if those documents are created on his own personal property or govt. property.

They went to some length to try to hide Fauci's diary, but RFK's people dug and found them.

The real reason, I think, is that he was just riffing.

It is also true that reviews were mixed, as a certain literate (and articulate) segment of the MAGA base had a strongly negative reaction. For C.S. Lewis fans, there's an immediate association with the (literally) Satanic agency of that name in That Hideous Strength, so naming a Federal agency N.I.C.E. for real is a hard no.

438 the one thing I think cops are grossly underrated at is the investigation of crime. That is, when not interfered with by political concerns and politicians (say, for a headline grabbing crime). They have done fine without declaring everyone not a cop a suspect with these evil Flock cameras.

15 American Airlines flight diverted after mystery odor reportedly sickens the crew and passengers

The reported odor was traced to front first class cabin area on Flight 719

Onboard the Aircraft was reported to be Jerry Nadler.

Flight 719, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, departed Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) around noon local time but diverted to Dublin Airport roughly three hours into the flight, according to FlightAware.

The aircraft landed safety and Jerry Nadler was escorted by an Irish Bioweapon Team at the airport.

Jerry Nadler and his Office had no comment on the incident.

Perhaps what Ace has learned is that penguin content early in the week results in olfactory overload for days, even with the AoSHQ Café Custodial Engineering Department working massive amounts of overtime to get the mephitic bouquet even slightly under control resulting in a significant (and often sustained) drop in patronage for the rest of the week.

67 NASA renovated an office space to make a daycare. The hot water pump failed so they have no A/C. Apparently, the A/C unit cools the air so much when it dehumidifies that they need hot water to bring the air temp back up.
When we worked there, the air temp was below standards, about 68-70, but no one investigated it until final punch list.

The 'bachelor' penguins who are forced out to the edges of the rookery are known as "hooligans". One of their milder perversions is bringing pebbles to the females who are already partnered with a male. These females will often then sneak off with one of the hooligans for a bit of fun.

If caught, their partner 'divorces' them.

As I said, this is, perhaps, the mildest perversion the hooligans exhibit. Being a family blog, further discussion is probably not wise.

115 I hear Halo: Combat Evolved - the game that started it all - has been ported to the PS5 with new art, a few new missions, and some gameplay tweaks.
The new art seems to have been ported from the PC remaster, which some people don't like... I have a complicated opinion on that. (The original worked around 2001 tech and somehow made a design language around it. The remake makes it look like a generic world like any other.)
I can't comment on the gameplay of the PS5 version since I haven't played it, but some decisions look stupid, like putting a shot counter into some of the alien weapons that already ... had them, elsewhere.
The big controversy seems to be around the new missions which feature space marines, but the majority are female. YAAAAS SLAYY

116 I'd like again to recommend to anyone not of the X body that Xcancel.com Redirector works well with my Win11+Vivaldi browser setup.

Recent change to X won't let me watch videos on X (but on embeds here it will) without sign-up. X may have fixed this but I don't care because that Redirector automatically redirects any x.com links to xcancel.com.

Seems there's been a good change on xcancel, too: Before, besides changing x to xcancel in the URL, it wouldn't accept a long URL with the "?" and info at the end. In now doesn't seem to matter. Also now does a check for bothood, sometimes, but it's quick.

xcancel > x also because you can full-screen without starting the video.

So, I'm enjoying all the x vids from the cafe again.😎

119 I read the prior thread about the CCP operation involving US journalists brought to China to be groomed as agents of influence.

It sounds *exactly* like the setups for journalists in the USSR back in the day, by agents just like Yuri Bezmenov.

I'll go ahead and guarantee it employed the same means - booze and bitches and boys and blackmail, wherever shared Communist ideology can't achieve the desired results.

I have an easy answer for this. We know the names of many of these unregistered foreign agents.

Virtually all journalists are dissipated drunks and perverts. Lure them into Ubers with bitches, boys, and booze just like the CCP did. But then, make them disappear into a place where nobody ever leaves and the living envy the dead.

Given that their identities as unregistered Chinese agents are publicly known, the pattern of disappearances will be known, even if the cause can't be, and all players on both sides of the Pacific will take notice and adjust their behaviors accordingly.

And nobody thinks it's still doing anything besides tours, which could be quietly discontinued.

It's a place where you could make living journalists envy the dead, with nary a peep to be heard.

House Committee Issues Subpoenas to Far-Left Chinese Asset Megadonor Neville Roy Singham

They suspect that China is pumping money into his NGOs for propaganda against the US, but those payoffs are being hidden as anonymous "charitable" donations.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., has issued subpoenas to three tax-exempt organizations tied to socialist megadonor Neville Roy Singham, an American multimillionaire living in Shanghai with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

The subpoenas have been served, a spokesperson for Smith's office told Just the News, on BreakThrough News, Tricontinental and The People's Forum, all three of which are funded, at least in part, by Singham. The subpoenas come after nearly a year of the Committee's attempts to get answers from the three non-profit organizations regarding foreign influence in U.S. nonprofits.

Hundreds of millions in campaign funding concealed

"For months, the Ways and Means Committee has been investigating how the Chinese Communist Party has been taking advantage of our country's laws through its tax-exempt sector to sow chaos and division here in the United States," Smith said in a statement. "Public reporting has traced hundreds of millions of dollars from Neville Roy Singham -- a tech mogul living in Shanghai -- that was funneled through a web of shell companies and donor-advised funds that concealed the true source of the money before it reached these organizations."

...

"Three non-profits connected to Mr. Singham -- BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People's Forum -- have stonewalled the Ways and Means Committee's investigation. That ends now," Smith said in his statement. "These subpoenas will compel the production of the documents they have withheld for months and will help expose how America's tax laws and charitable sector may have been exploited to advance the CCP's influence operations inside the United States. The American people deserve to know whether the CCP has exploited America's tax-exempt sector to advance its agenda. These subpoenas will allow the Ways and Means Committee to identify the networks that exploit our tax laws, and further expose the urgent need for legislation to close those loopholes for good."

...

The congressional subpoenas are the latest move against Singham, who is also under federal investigation by a grand jury in New York for possible violations of tax and foreign agent laws, Just the News previously reported. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the grand jury to issue subpoenas as part of an investigation into Singham and his financial network. The investigation was launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York.

Meanwhile, Natalie Winters has published a list of fake journalists whom she claims are being funded by China to propagandize for them.

It's a Who's Who of execrable online leftistss.

@nataliegwinters

REVEALED: Here Are the Mainstream Journalists on China's Payroll 🚨

I exclusively uncovered the identities of prominent U.S. journalists flown to China by a CCP-linked influence operation seeking "favorable coverage" and "positive messages" about Beijing. 🧵

The names include:

- Ezra Klein, New York Times columnist
- Matthew Yglesias, Vox co-founder
- Ronald Brownstein, CNN senior political analyst
- Bradford Plumer, New York Times reporter
- Marjorie Miller, former Associated Press vice president

Also identified:

- Steve Clemons, former The Hill editor-at-large
- David Rohde, MS NOW senior national security reporter
- Jonathan Alter, NBC News and MSNBC political analyst
- David Sweeney, former NPR managing editor
- Daniel Gross, former Yahoo Finance columnist

Also on the roster:

- Marilyn Geewax, former NPR senior editor
- Kathleen Deveny, former Newsweek editor
- Tom Omestad, former U.S. News & World Report correspondent
- Steve Chapman, former Chicago Tribune columnist
- Bruce Stokes, former National Journal correspondent

The list continues:

- Craig Gilbert, former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Washington bureau chief
- Tony Semerad, Salt Lake Tribune reporter
- Shikha Dalmia, former The Week columnist
- Jonathan Broder, former Newsweek senior writer

Also identified:

- Cristi Kempf, former Chicago Tribune associate managing editor
- Jon Healey, Los Angeles Times deputy editorial page editor
- Julian Pecquet, former Foreign Affairs reporter

Trip organizer CUSEF was founded by Tung Chee-hwa, a former senior official in the CCP's United Front system, the influence apparatus Beijing uses to cultivate foreign elites and shape institutions outside China.

A bipartisan congressional report says the United Front works to "co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition" to the CCP.

American media was not incidental to the strategy. It was a target.

The access went far beyond conference rooms.

American journalists were taken on curated tours through China, including visits to Chinese military bases, by the same network seeking favorable coverage.

Then came the coverage.

Shikha Dalmia published "China Bashing is for Losers."

Bradford Plumer praised Beijing's climate agenda.

Bruce Stokes warned that economic "decoupling" from China would "backfire."

Catherine Rampell repeatedly attacked Trump's China policies.

One dispatch from her CUSEF-funded trip amplified Chinese officials portraying America as the aggressor and urged Washington to abandon its "zero-sum-game attitude" toward Beijing.

Her substack is here.

The Leaked Report

The internal report obtained by this publication concerns C100's November 2012 delegation to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

The operation cost approximately $60,000.

It brought five American media figures to China:

Clive Crook

Brian Lehrer

Winnie O'Kelley

Gary Silverman

Jonathan Tepperman

The journalists participated in approximately 20 meetings and visits involving Chinese government officials, state media representatives, business executives, academics and policy figures.

...

The itinerary also included upscale hotels, regional Chinese cuisine, sightseeing and corporate tours.

Journalists Returned Ready to Reshape Coverage

Winnie O'Kelley was then deputy business editor at The New York Times.

She called the trip "eye opening" politically, economically and culturally, adding that it made her more aware of what she characterized as the Chinese preference for "gray areas" and pragmatism.

She then explained how the experience would influence her work at the newspaper:

"I think that I will do a much better job of editing stories from all cross Asia. I am taking back several story ideas and will shape my staff across Asia in some different ways. I hope to add at least one business reporter in China."

Gary Silverman, then U.S. news editor and deputy managing editor at the Financial Times, was equally direct:

"I don't think that I will ever think or write about China in the future without reflecting on what I learned this week."

WNYC's Brian Lehrer said the trip improved his understanding of the complexities of Chinese politics and the boundaries of political debate inside the country.

The internal report then states:

"He confirmed that his perception of China changed 'in 100 ways.'"

...

The operation gave the editor of one of America's most influential foreign-policy publications a network of handpicked Chinese contacts he intended to continue consulting.

Clive Crook, then a senior editor at The Atlantic, said the program gave him a new conviction that China was a "huge and fascinating story" and that the world was pivoting around the country.

He told the organizers:

"I don't see how you could do a better job in the time available. Just keep it up!"

The internal report then listed articles Crook published after the trip, including:

"Why China and the U.S. Can Be Capitalist Comrades"

"China's Ghost Towns Won't Have a Hard Landing"

C100 even documented the change in attitude and then recorded the resulting coverage.

Fudan University professor Shen Dingli offered perhaps the clearest assessment of the operation:

"It is hard to speak on China without being to the country. You made the change!"

That statement captures what C100's public descriptions attempted to obscure.

The program targeted influential American journalists, controlled their exposure to China and privately celebrated when their perceptions changed.

The Paper Trail Shows This Was an Influence Operation

The leaked internal report was not an outlier.

In 2007, C100 launched an initiative to "enhance understanding and improve perceptions of China in the U.S." By 2010, it explicitly described the role participants were expected to play after returning:

"We hope that they will share their China experience with their peers to make reporting and coverage of China as balanced and objective as possible."

C100 controlled the experience it wanted those journalists to share. Delegates stayed at the St. Regis Beijing, visited the Great Wall and Forbidden City, attended a dinner inside the Great Hall of the People, toured the China Tibetology Research Center and received access to senior political figures, including United Front-linked CUSEF founder Tung Chee-hwa.

...

By 2013, C100 was publicly touting the statistic that most clearly exposed the program's purpose:

"70% reported improved opinions of the country after visitation."

Of course that went nowhere, but they did make a big show of it for a week or so.

Generally speaking, the billionaire willing to spend their own money - on anything - became billionaire either through inheritance or divorce. The ones who made the money are willing to funnel someone else's money to destroy America but they won't use their own.

Jeff Bezos, shopkeeper, is a rare exception but that's because he's mostly an idiot who spends his time trying to ape Elon Musk.

114 The different facets of this are deep. For example, China makes a killing selling "green energy" products to the West.

The slanty commies love green energy products because they can make a shitload of money at it. They're not stupid enough to actually USE it.

I really enjoy listening to Sarah Paine talking geopolitics on yootoob, and she gets most things right, but she has two big glaring flaws: She has the standard academic Trump-hate because she isn't interested in learning WHY he acts the way he does internationally. And she actually thinks that green energy is going to turn China into a full-on superpower, even though she's supposed to be a China expert. Which is one of the dumbest takes on geopolitics to come out of an academic's pie-hole.

Or... because emotion is the enemy. Politicians use emotion because they understand that once you get emotional on an issue, you stop thinking about it. There is very little in life which requires hair on fire. What you have to do is calmly understand your situation and find a way to better it.

I saw a video of some woman complaining about how capitalism had done her dirty. She went to a 'good' school. Got a PhD. In soil biology. And now, just because she refuses to move out of San Francisco, her degree is useless. And it's the Boomer's fault.

Cuz we told her to get a degree for which there was little demand. And we told her to get a degree which might require that she relocate. And we made everything expensive (not her, voting to increase the minimum wage every other month.)

Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Hair on fire. Not fair. Boomer bad.

Families of 9/11 Victims Want Terrorist-Loving Communist Zohran Mamdani Banned from 25th Anniversary Remembrance

The terror nepo baby wants to be there for the gloating.


Families of 9/11 victims are demanding NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani be banned from the 25th anniversary of the attacks at Ground Zero, branding him an apologist for Islamic terror whose presence would be an insult to the memories of nearly 3,000 people murdered.

"Our objection is based on his public record -- his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, and his employment of, support for, or association with individuals who have minimized 9/11, defended terrorists, or even suggested America 'deserved' the attacks," said Giovanni Galante -- whose 29-year-old wife Grace Catherine Galante was among 2,977 innocents killed by al-Qaeda terrorists.

Galante, 55, is one of the organizers of a petition drive that has collected over 1,100 signatures in a little over a week, including from at least 300 victims' families.

"This day is sacred to us," said the Brooklyn-born real estate agent who now lives in Florida.

"It is not political, and it is not a platform for those connected to such views. His presence would be deeply hurtful and inappropriate -- like an unwelcome guest at a deeply personal ceremony."

Galante and other petition organizers hope to gather enough signatures to convince local lawmakers and the ceremony's organizers, the nonprofit 9/11 Memorial & Museum, to keep Mamdani away from the silver-anniversary ceremony planned for the former Twin Towers site in Lower Manhattan.

The petition posted on Change.org cites an array of concerns about Mamdani, who is the city's first Muslim mayor and has promoted his religion since taking office in January. They include:

* Mamdani's refusal to condemn the "globalize the intifada" rallying cry for violence against Jewish people.

* His palling around on the mayoral campaign last year with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a notorious, gay-hating Brooklyn imam who once urged followers to participate in gun-free jihad and "march through the city of New York." Wahhaj was an unindicted co-conspirator in 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

* His appointment of Ramzi Kassem as the city's chief counsel. Kassem has defended Ahmed al-Darbi -- an al-Qaeda terrorist who pleaded guilty in a 2002 plot to bomb a French oil tanker -- and Mahmoud Khalil, the radical lead organizer of the 2024 anti-Israel tentifada at Columbia University.

* The mayor's endorsement of fellow Democratic Socialist of America member Aber Kawas for a state Senate seat -- despite her once describing 9/11 as a terror attack that "a couple of people did" and expressing sympathy for Ahmed Ferhani, who pleaded guilty in 2012 to plotting to blow up a Manhattan synagogue.

* Hizzoner's endorsement of Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress. Mamdani has called the DSA insurgent the "perfect candidate" despite her radical past, which includes once calling the U.S. "a f--ing disgrace" and boasting she desecrated the American flag by using it like a napkin to wipe her filthy hands.

* Mamdani defending al-Qaeda fiend Anwar al-Awlaki -- and blaming America for turning the prostitution-loving cleric into a terrorist, according to some of his 2015 social media posts that resurfaced last year. Al-Awlaki became a prominent imam at mosques in San Diego and Virginia, eventually interacting with three of the heinous 9/11 hijackers there, U.S. officials have said.

* Mamdani's dad, Mahmood Mamdani, a chaired professor of African history and colonialism at Columbia University, has expressed sympathy for suicide bombers.

"Given these concerns, we respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani's participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy," the petition says.

...

They include Mamdani's longtime association with vile left-wing influencer Hasan Piker, who once said "America deserved" the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, and Mamdani's outlandish claim that he and other fellow Muslims were also victims of 9/11 because it supposedly triggered a horrible wave of "Islamophobia," added Sparacio, of Staten Island.

...

[Q]ueens Councilwoman Joann Ariola told The Post she's ready to assist.

"This is a mayor who has endorsed candidates and has been endorsed by individuals who openly said that 'America deserved 9/11,' so I completely understand why families of those who lost loved ones would not want him there," she said.

Hmm I wonder why the families of 9/11 don't want Mandami at the 25th anniversary memorial ceremony. Could it be for any of the following reasons?

He campaigned with Hassan Piker who said US deserved 9/11

He endorsed Claire Valdez who also said America deserved 9/11

He endorsed Darializa Avila Chevalier who founded a group at Columbia with a stated goal of overthrowing Western Civilization

He sympathized with the Boston Marathon bombers before the murdered bodies were even cold?

His dad has justified "suicide bombing" (like the ones in 9/11) as "first and foremost a category of soldier".

Mandami has refused to condemn the phrase "Globalize the Intifada" which is exactly what 9/11 was

During his mayoral campaign he took a smiling picture with his arm around Iman Siraj Wahhaj who was accused of being one of the co-conspirators of the 1993 world trade center bombing

He has said he wanted to defund the police about a million times and demonized law enforcement

Yeah I wonder why the families don't want him there. The bigger question is how the hell did we get here in the 1st place?

Ps - All the above is readily accessible with a quick google search. He hasnt hid who he is.

And gradually - with the exception of the annual "morning replays" several channels used to do, I watched as they gradually erased it from existence.

Not rebuilding the towers was one of the worst injustices foisted on us by any representative government. By keeping them gone then building back some pussy bullshit in its place, they let everyone know that we were all "moving on" whether we liked it or not.

60 "I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them ... reaffirming that we will never forget." - Zohran Mamdani

The only truthful part in that quote is about never forgetting or, in his case, celebrating 9/11. There needs to be an outright ban on naturalized citizen from holding any elected/appointed/political office or judicial seat. Our homegrown communists are bad enough; importing SOBs like Mamdani that has never assimilated are the last people we need telling us how to be Americans. F' him to hell.

61 Fact - islam is slavery. It is a system of conquest that enslaves the conquered population through rape, murder, and forced conversion to a slave "religion."

The religion part is only a lie. It is a package of stolen mythology and history, made up bullshit, and promises of a reward after they die.

Their slave labor is conquest and funneling money up to the masters.

They have to get on their knees and bow to their masters 5 times a day

They have to follow strict rules laid down by those masters centuries ago.

(To understand this, also understand that at the time of its creation most rulers profited from running the temples and religon, and most religions profited from visits. islam made the visit to their temple mandatory and very profitable for the rulers. The other main purpose of slaves was to act as slave army for conquest. islam glorifies (literally) the act of war and conquest to enrich the masters.)

Despite their loss, their Islamophobia doesn’t get to dictate what the mayor of NYC does.

But they have no problem with Trump allowing a nuclear agreement with the Saudis. Fuck them. Israeli intelligence knew about 9/11 and allowed it to happen because, in Netanyahu’s words, “terrorism is good for Israel”.

85 Marly Hornik, the founder of RealAmerica.Vote and NY Citizens Audit, has suggested that the 2025 election included large numbers of unqualified or nonexistent voters. But that’s only part of the problem.

“I actually don’t know whether Mamdani won the mayoral race, and I’m not here to say that he didn’t,” Hornik said during a July 22 interview on New York radio station WABC’s “Sid & Friends in the Morning” program.
....

After examining 1 million of the total 2.2 million voters who participated in the election, her organization discovered that 7 percent were nonexistent in records, 6 percent had fake Social Security numbers, and 10 percent didn’t even live in NYC.

In total, they identified 230,000 illegal votes, which exceeded Mamdani’s 207,000 vote margin of victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent.

People, especially young people, have learned WHY 9/11 happened, how the USA financed those terrorists to fight the Russians for us Afghanistan. That idea didn't work out so well for us.

Not showing up is a vote. When your situation is what theirs is, and you still don't show up to vote, you own it.
I don't like to see what is happening there, but I can't muster any sympathy. And I'm a reglr bleeding heart.

Agree. Years after 9/11 I used to wonder why islam can't be reformed. The answer was clear: you'd be killed vs excommunicated in the modern world.

Sure, my ancestors were probably killed during the reformation beginning in 1517. Sure. However, in the 20th and 21st centuries you'd THINK there would be rational reasoning. However, with inbred barbarians there is no room for this in their tribal tiny IQ's.

There are Christians in Iran. They are the only people I can pray for as their county is bombed to pieces.

GWB had them. HE HAD THEM and stopped. Like his father, whom he avenged with crap intel by Powell.

Then Biden left billions in weapons and people who helped our military in Afghanistan and here we are today. The weapons Iran now has were once ours. The cheapo missiles they fire are from chy na.

It will never end, the tribalism and constant war.

President Trump has, finally, after 47yrs addressed the tumor that metastisized it all. Eradication, please.

You think the United States is the problem.

It's been an ongoing problem for the world since the 7th century.
Meanwhile the U.S. just celebrated 250 years.
So who's been causing all the problems for so long, exactly?

America has been dealing with the Muslims like this since the Barbary Pirates. Any fool can see who the actual aggressive party is here.

If you had a clue about history and not just the ideology that's been drilled into your head your entire life, you might see it too.

109 People, especially young people, have learned WHY 9/11 happened, how the USA financed those terrorists to fight the Russians for us Afghanistan.

This might be one of the most common lies I've ever heard.

The US supported Masood's faction defending against the Soviets. The Pakis supported Hekmatyar and the jihadis.

After Masood won he set up a relatively moderate government while Pakistan continued to support Hekmatyar and also now Mullah Omar

When Bill Clinton withdrew funding for Masood, Pakistan's allies took over the country and sent America's guy back into resistance. This state lasted until Sept 10 2001 when the Taliban assassinated Masood.

At no point did the US support the Taliban or the factions that would become the Taliban.

113 Communism (oh, sorry, Democratic Socialism) is also slavery.

In much the same way as islam, all you have to do is hand total control of your life, and your wealth, over to the ruling regime.

It too has a mythology about a better future, and about how it is only possible if we all "submit." It too requires sacrifice and the main purpose is conquest and conversion through "any means necessary."

And, much like islam the main feature is that the converted get to feel superior to the unconverted, and to blame them for everything. They also get to practice their perverse bloodlust. Really, the parallels go on and on because at their core they both tap into the worst instincts of the unenlightened man.

20 year old guy (son) was out at a bar with his mother. Son gets in a dispute with some other random guy. Mother tried to break them up. Random guy punches mom and she fails to the ground.

The cops show up and try to separate son and random guy. Random guy complies. Son decides to start pushing the cops to get to random guy. Then when that doesn't work punches a cop in the face who goes down like a sack of spuds and gets tazed by several other cops.

The local news interviewed the family who argued their son dindu nuffin and its all the cops' fault.

There is a funny bit in Soviet Defector Viktor Suvarov's book "The Liberators" during the 1968 invasion of Prague by the USSR where they were supposed to discuss matters with the populace to firm up their socialist enthusiasm and their political officer gets in a fight with a Czech older gentleman about who was worse, Stalin or Lenin.

My standard date from H. S. on up was into the city to a restaurant, and then to the plaza between the towers to stare up at the sky. I did that dozens of times.

The same as when Michelle Obama told us fervently "why I love this countreh so much!!!" at hubby's acceptance of the nom in 2008 and why Ilhan Omar has also talked about her deep love for America.

Mitch McConnell Released from Hospital, But Still Not "Medically Cleared" to Do His Job; Democrat Governor Andy Beshear Demands He Return to Senate or Resign

It was so important to McConnell to remain in office forever. Even after he'd been kicked out of the leadership position due to his opposition to most mainstream Republicans.

And it will wind up costing us.

McConnell out of hospital, still not 'medically cleared' to return to Senate

The longtime Senate Republican undergoes multiple daily physical therapy sessions as childhood polio complicates his mobility, his office says

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is out of the hospital and on the mend after suffering a fall last month, but he still isn't "medically cleared" to return to the Senate.

His office on Monday released the latest update on the longtime Senate Republican, who has been absent from the upper chamber and the public eye for over a month. The Office of the Attending Physician said in a statement that McConnell "continues his recovery from a fall at home in June."

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

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is still recovering from a fall he suffered at home last month and is not "medically cleared" to return to the Senate, per the Office of the Attending Physician. (Courtesy of the Office of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.)

"His bout with childhood polio continues to be a significant factor in his mobility," they continued. "He is not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and return to the office."

The latest update from McConnell-world comes after weeks of speculation and allegations that the longest-serving Republican leader in Senate history was dead or in a vegetative state.

McConnell's extended absence from the Senate and murky timeline for his return come as Republicans are sprinting to clear the decks of several legislative priorities where his vote could be needed, including advancing a Russia sanctions package and confirming blockbuster nominees.



His prolonged absence has prompted lawmakers in both chambers to call for more clarity and transparency about his condition and has led some to question the protocol for lawmakers going missing for months at a time.

Democrat governor Andy Beshear wants him to resign so that he can appoint a Democrat to serve out the rest of his term. As I've mentioned before, Republicans passed a law presuming to dictate to the governor that an appointment to an open senate seat must be from the same party as the departing senator, but that seems like it would be struck down in court.

So McConnell might be giving us one final setback to go with all of the other setbacks he's given us through the years.


Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has called on Sen. Mitch McConnell, one of the two Republican senators from his state, to explain his long-term health absence or resign.

In a letter sent to McConnell on Monday, Beshear called upon the former Senate majority leader to fully explain his health status, believing that the carefully released photos do not paint the full picture. His letter came after the McConnell family shared another photo of the senator as he recovers from a reported fall.

"I am addressing this letter to Senator McConnell under the assumption that he is capable of reading and responding verbally, and not incapacitated by means of consciousness or cognition. If the Senator is unable to respond for either of those or other conditions, consider this letter a demand for his Senate staff to be honest and transparent with the people of Kentucky," Beshear wrote, per CNN.

On Monday, McConnell's office said the senator wishes to get back to work but has not yet been medically cleared to leave the rehab facility. Beshear said more information is needed.

"Even the attending physician's written statement does not discuss your actual condition, including whether you can speak, reason, or carry out your duties as a senator. I understand anyone's desire for privacy, but when you run for office and serve as one of a state's two US senators, you willingly abdicate much of your personal privacy," Beshear wrote.

"As Governor of the state you serve, I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign," he continued.

16 Good for Andy Beshear, but McConnell's handlers are all in on this charade and he won't be resigning .

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 28, 2026 03:56 PM (xSAlF)

17 McConnell, if he's going to resign early, will be after the early August deadline so that there's no time for a special election before the general election. That's like a week away.

But, I suspect he makes it to January, mostly as a vegetable, and the GOP easily wins the senate seat in the election.

28 It's important to realize that this whole mess is McConnell's fault, and he's been trying to undo it for literally years.

He tanked the last GOP candidate for governor and used his machine to help the Democrat win the seat.

Ever since, McConnell's been getting his cronies in the state legislature to come up with legislative solutions to him leaving office early (two major laws, I believe) and not letting the Democrat governor replace him with a Democrat.

I think that if McConnell hadn't tanked the last governor's race, McConnell would have retired by now.

33 Ace, the Kentucky legislature got rid of that law because it was most likely unconstitutional under the state constitution.
They replaced it with a law that says the governor must schedule a special election. From reading the section of the states constitution, that is probably ok.

Kentucky's constitution details the process for replacing a senator, and there's no "must be of the same party" requirement there. The requirement is a law that is subservient to the constitution.

So, Beshear is most likely right that he could replace Mitch with a Democrat.

So, Mitch clings to life.

91 According to my quick and lazy research: In McConnell’s case, if he vacated the seat before the August 3, 2026 cutoff, Beshear could call a special election before the November general election. After that date, the timing constraints would make a separate special election legally problematic.

So based on the new law, the special election would be used to fill his seat, not the appointment power. Is that the law people think might not stand up to judicial scrutiny?

137 OT - good on them. From the NY Post:

An immigrant-led business group is gearing up to sue New York City over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s controversial plan to open five taxpayer-funded supermarkets — claiming the $70 million project will create unfair competition for nearby stores, The Post has learned.

As the far-left mayor announced new details of his plan this week — including a 30% discount on basic items like produce, meat, milk, cheese and bread – the Multicultural Business Coalition’s board voted to file a lawsuit in the coming weeks to block the pricey initiative, the group’s chairman Frank Garcia told The Post.

“The mayor doesn’t seem to want to sit down with us,” Garcia said, adding that Mamdani “won’t be able to bully these lawyers we are going to bring in.”

Fun Civil War KY incident. When the Rebs were invading the state in 1862 and the Union had retreated to Louisville General Nelson got in an argument with General Jefferson Davis and slapped him. Since Nelson was a huge man, Davis went and borrowed a gun and put a bullet or so into Nelson, who died. Since they needed Generals at that point, Davis was essentially put on bail and served out the rest of the war.

I suspect Lee knows this ain't passing this Congress, and he's just doing prep work for next Congress.

The pressure is good. Ensures that the SAVE act won't be forgotten, and it's coming from a guy actually in the chamber.

But, really, it's not passing before late January 2027 at the earliest, assuming the GOP keeps the House (it's guaranteed to keep the Senate).

So, Dr. Fauci the genius he was knew this and told us to stay 6 feet from the nearest person.

Revealed: Five Months After Fauci Got Vaccinated, He Suffered a Pulmonary Infarction, an Adverse Effect Associated With the "Vaccine."
He Kept This a Secret.

Anthony Fauci is Science, you know.

He suffered the exact kind of adverse effect millions of other people were experiencing. Rather than reporting this, he kept it secret from the public.

Just so much Science going on here I don't know what to do:


So much Science Journalisming:

Elaine
@elbh


Fauci broke our societal trust in ways we will never regain. As confidence was lagging anyway, he caused the collapse.

Science. Journalism. Government. Hollywood. Culture. Economics. Law Enforcement. Judicial System. Our fellow Americans.

All of it.

It will not return in our lifetime.


It's the openly idolatrous god-worship that really says "Science" to me.

But it's a hell of a question to ask him tomorrow, isn't it?

Q: You very publicly received the Covid vaccine as a means of encouraging others to do the same. How can you be certain that vaccine didn't contribute, in at least some small way, to the heart attack you suffered just a few months later?

The list of 'died with covid' and 'died from covid' are VERY different. They're both counted in the total covid death count, however.

I know a captain in a small Texas town fire department. He witnessed first hand the coroner marking a covid death on the report. "No, I think it was that .22 rattling around in his brain pan that caused his death."

It was a suicide. Marked as a covid death.

Are you suggesting that ventilating patients and plying them with Remdesivir wasn't an appropriate medical protocol?

You probably think giving patients in respiratory distress a combination of benzodiazepines and opioids, both of which further the shallowing of breathing also wasn't wise.

Not a doc, or clinical at all, but I thought the infarct can result from the embolism. And that there are other causes of a pulmonary infarct aside from an embolism.

62 I think he might have meant pulmonary embolism. That's more consistent with a clot, but hopefully Muldoon or one of the other moron medical types can weigh in.
Posted by: Biff Pocoroba

Infarct implies muscle damage from ischemia (lack of blood supply; see also myocardial infarction).

Embolus implies a blockage from either air or blood clot. A pulmonary embolus is usually caused by a deep vein thrombosis in the legs.

Since we know the clot shot was responsible for blood clots, a pulmonary embolus would make sense.

63 Are you suggesting that ventilating patients and plying them with Remdesivir wasn't an appropriate medical protocol?

You probably think giving patients in respiratory distress a combination of benzodiazepines and opioids, both of which further the shallowing of breathing also wasn't wise.

not only this, but EVERY MD WORTH A DAMN knows the vents kill about half of people (normal ages! not the very old those are all basically not supposed to be vented!)

88 a pulmonary infarction is the death of a section of lung due to a blocked blood supply.

You get a clot in an artery feeding part of your lung. It loses blood supply and that part of the lung dies. Depending on where the clot is, you lose a big or a little piece of lung.

You know, from the clot shot.

I don't think we were developing bioweapons. The Wuhan lab was a money-laundering operation. It was never supposed to develop anything. It was supposed to launder money to Democraps, leftists, and their remoras.

Then the bat lady went ahead and actually created something that was really nothing, because it was basically the flu. But there were other reasons to hype it as the Andromeda Strain.

Remember those dozens of "biolabs" in Ukraine that we learned about at the start of the war? Same thing. Just money-laundering.

There will be other "big things" for sure - but what you are looking at more than anything is how every issue and event seems to position -- the globalists vs everyone else.

Once you see it through that lens you get your a-ha and the world gets a little simpler.

Their positions shift because what's good for globalism shifts as things change. So one day they are for 700,000 genders and eternal confusion, and then the next day you wake up and it's suddenly back to men and women and that is fucking that.

Around that time *women* will be completely subjugated, including by their own, and there will be no "out" or way around it, intellectual or otherwise.

Remember you have to warm it up at just the right timing otherwise you'd render the chemicals inert.

So...leave it out an extra 30m and you take the shot and its just saline.

Which also probably means people that got the clot shot in one of those mass injection events with a bunch of newbies doing it probably faired better then someone that went to a DR office where they were meticulous in following the instructions

While his clot shot could be related to his PE, the typical time, so I read, was 5-30 days post vaccine. His was 5mo. Maybe a booster or two set it off.

He should have reported it as an honest person, which he's not in his malignant narcissism sociopathic personality.

He may or may not have had the genetic predisposed issue that caused the clots and might have saved many people. However, fame and attention were more important to the infamous lawn gnome.

174 Fauci was an essential if not primary ingredient in releasing a Kraken upon humanity. Immeasurable life and treasure were destroyed by this man. That he was a narcissist is trivial compared to the evil that imposed. His whole existence post Covid release was a determined effort to escape and bury his culpability.

The number of people who should hang with him is obviously substantial, but he was the biggest string-puller on the planet because he knew he was most responsible given his appointed authority.

However, the one upside in all this destruction of our institutions is that it provides every rationale to castrate government intrusions and oversight of our lives. If we don't promote and embrace this single particular outcome - because none other will be forthcoming - then we will end up wasting the only tangible opportunity from a catastrophic, wholly avoidable event.

I think the money laundering is likely. But this is a power of "and" situation. They also have some insulation by saying it happened on China's watch. Also, the fact is that most of the infectious shite comes out of asia, and that provides a lot of background noise so create a cover story - natural evolution. Also, if they design the virus, they have a jump on the patent/cure/vaccine. Heros! Also, because they know in advance that the market/economy will crash - 1) short stocks - 2) gets rid of Trump (makes China Happy, Makes Deep state Happy and because they in bed with pharma, they can front run stocks that will mfg the vaccine - so its rich heros, with Happy Chinese and deep state clients.

204 What is wrong with these people???? From The Daily Caller:

Massachusetts Democrats recently sponsored a Senate bill creating a “permanent” government commission “on the status of people who practice Islam,” which would communicate with the government on how legislation affects Muslims and recommend Muslims for government positions.

The Senate committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight reported the bill, No. 2134 “favorably” and referred it to the Joint Committee on Rules, which referred it to the committee on Senate Ways and Means. That committee consists of a majority of democrats.

The commission proposed by the bill would accomplish eight different tasks, including serving as a liaison between the Muslim American community and the government, researching “Islamophobia,” recommending Muslim Americans for positions in the government and undertaking “activities designed to enable the commonwealth to realize the full benefit of the skills, talents and cultural heritage of American Muslims.”

250 Parasite infections are very difficult to diagnose, unless they test specifically they will not likely find it. Symptoms are nonspecific, could be anything. Headache, slight fever, flu like symptoms.

And there are a gazillion of them. Ivermectin is amazing stuff, effective at myriad nasties. “Fever of Unknown Origin” and all sorts of nasty debilitating chronic diseases were suffered by military veterans for decades who served overseas in the tropics and other jungle type areas.

If it isn’t contraindicated for some reason it cannot hurt you, it is well tolerated and probably safer than Aspirin. A double dose spaced out about a week to 10 days to ensure eradication of any latent critters, who’ve a life cycle with eggs and such. I can’t think of any noteworthy downside.

258 From some browser AI summary. RFK Jr., Sen. Johnson and Sen. Paul really had the knives out, rightly, for this weasel.

Anthony Fauci's diaries became public after Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services secretary, handed the files to Rand Paul and Senator Ron Johnson following an eight-month search on government servers. Neither HHS nor Paul's committee alerted Fauci ahead of time that they had obtained his diary and planned to publish it in full. Paul, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, released more than 1,100 pages of the typewritten daily notes from 2019 to 2022 as part of his ongoing oversight investigation into the pandemic response and virus origins.

The release occurred just days before Fauci's subpoenaed testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee scheduled for July 29, 2026. Fauci had initially declined to appear voluntarily, citing Paul's "baseless pronouncements" that he should be prosecuted, but was compelled to testify after being subpoenaed in June 2026.

269 31 The thing that strikes me the most about the diary isn't that the homunculus knew he was lying about everything. I always knew that.

The most striking things about the diary are (i) that a grown-ass man would keep a diary like a 12-year-old girl and (ii) that the diary entries from this supposed Man of Science are mostly complete twaddle, like they were written by a 12-year old girl.

I am confident Moderna didn’t lie to him, and the reason for that is right before, and I mean right before, this all happened, I was interviewing for a VP position with Moderna. They were very, very honest with me about the status of the mRNA vac, but the focus was truly cancer prior to Covid. They had a lot of hope in the modality, but they hadn’t gotten it to transfer from modeling to animals.

GoF was probably about increasing communicability. And the whole purpose, in this scenario, was two-fold: 1) Shut down Mr. Neutron's economy, 2) Get to try out mRNA vax on people. (Apparently, even on Fraudci himself).

Fraudci wanted to continue GoF in China, because it was not against government rules to offshore it.

China staged the leak for cover to murder a bunch of insurgents. And Five Eyes cooperated with China (who's probably their bud) for the reasons above.

That's my current scenario.

My mom was in a nursing home during this time as well. She didn't die with COVID, but COVID killed her. The rage I feel for those who enabled this burns like fire. Then I feel guilty because I at least was able to hug my mom and say goodbye. So many others had to stand out in the parking lot of a hospital looking at windows wondering.

333 I wager that the number of COVID deaths solely the result of COVID is 1/20th the official number .

When you give hospitals a chunk of money for deaths caused by COVID you will get inaccurate counts.

A lot. Early on there were reports of women in menopause having periods again. Young women having abnormal periods. This is what I yelled about in an email to our sons and their girls about mRNA. They listened for once. I then yelled some more about vaccines for kids with this type of vaccine. I think he listened.

Two cancers I'm watching increase now are pancreatic and "appendix" cancer in young people. Both were once quite rare for the young, and appendix cancers were incredibly rare.

The first young man I loved in college had a form of "appendix" cancer or Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). One in one million, as he was. He died five months after diagnosis.

I have been reading that appendix cancers are being seen in young people more often. Unsure why but I wonder if the vax?

In my 30's I knew of one woman, my age, who died of pancreatic cancer...whose numbers are exploding now. The vax? Dunno.

Western nations had banned Gain-of-Function research because it was so dangerous.

So they built up the Wuhan Institute of Virology (France and German helped build it) to do the dirty work they couldn't do.

Like everything else, China was called on to do the work Americans no longer wanted to do.

After about the first year a large chunk of CA hospitals admitted that at least a third of COVID deaths counted were obviously not COVID, like motorcycle accidents. But they got extra money if they checked COVID on the form. I doubt these were ever deducted from the totals.

There was also some very very shady statistics in Florida trying to generate a COVID spike when DeSantis was opening up the state. When it didn't scare anyone the matter was dropped in the press.

Three months after getting that damned shot it was raging, eating into his bladder, and he was actively peeing blood. The hospitalist said they wouldn't treat it because after all, Dad was old, and at the time couldn't tell him who was POTUS, so obviously his life wasn't worth the effort.

Of course, he couldn't be confused because he had been BLEEDING OUT. So, they let him bleed to death.

My employer went all in on this Sniffle Scare and Clot Shot hysteria. They were supposed to be a university at the forefront of scientific and medical research . . . and yet it was "all face diapers all the time" and "You must get The Shot or face termination!"

363 Nursing home investments, Medicare & Medicaid.

People were forced to be alone for so long & suffered severe depression and compromised immune systems; to be ventilated in many cases if ill and before other reasonable procedures or treatments were tried. For hospital nursing staffs to often compete with traveling nurses if not working directly with c19 cases (intentionally started in NYC with nursing unions). States such as PA paid daycare when there were no children in them; Biden created even more daycare jobs. Said service workers in WalMart, markets, other big box stores were our heros, as were nursing home CNAs until towards the end of the dreaded pandemic when the script was flipped & skilled medical personnel were then declared our heros... for years.

Kept government programs for seniors locked down; had countless veterans in nursing homes die because the blue states had Trump build alternative hospitals but then they were never ever used as intended. Locked down road traffic so there were little to no complaints about the cost of fuel & reserves under Biden. Made a fortune in PPE manufacturing & distribution. Warehoused tons of PPE & sanitizers 'for public schools.'

Which eventually came to pass, as the Chinese, Russians, Europeans, and Americans ALL came out with the same basic vaccines in about six months after COVID hit the world.

They wanted to make lots of money on the vaccine patents but then the Bat Lady's team screwed the pooch (or the CCP told her to screw the pooch) and they ended up having to basically give it away, other than what Pfizer and the other company's made from getting paid by governments across the planet.

I think you are going to be fine...or it would have happened within months, ok?

It was a personal choice. I am in the "high risk" portion due to lung damage from influenza in my 30's. I get flu shots & have not had the flu again, but I make sure they are not mRNA. Because it takes 10yrs to determine if vaccines are safe. People can still have issues like Guillain-Barre.

Due to international travel at the time and the restrictions, an elderly mother out of state, we chose the J&J as a family days prior to them discontinuing for blood clots. Which was a stupid move but discussed. I then went on a two week count down waiting for a PE. We were fine. We caught it anyway and got a tiny bit of immunity (we guess...it was a cold, even for me).

Don't feel guilt.

That's me. I was a biologist (I guess I still am) and did bench research at a world-renowned medical research center (several Nobel laureates in the institution). Being a scientist, I opted to reject the shot. I left before I had to experience their Covid policies so I won't comment on this facility explicitly. However, the contemporary observation and reports from almost all health-related institutions was, "Take the shot or resign." How in the world could all of these renowned and highly trained/disciplined experts and educators in research and practice yield so enthusiastically and universally?

Let's just say my faith in "science" and "research" fell off that cliff, too. It was a collective Let's All Turn Off Our Brains Now moment - sort of a mind-virus all its own. Simply catastrophic and an indictment of all that education in the discipline of Science.

Zwonitizer Tapes Demonstrate Biden's Serious Cognitive Decline; Massive Amount of NSA/CIA Redactions Show Biden Sharing Tons of Classified Information with a Civilian

I don't think the tapes have been released yet to the public, but the Oversight Project has heard them and is releasing information about them.


Joe Biden appeared confused, struggled to remember facts and lost his train of thought during a series of meandering conversations with his ghostwriter roughly four years before he was elected president.

The former commander-in-chief also repeatedly made reference to retaining classified information in the discussions with his biographer Mark Zwonitzer, according to newly-released audio tapes.

The heavily-redacted recordings of Biden working on his 2017 memoir with Zwonitzer were released Monday to the House Judiciary Committee and the conservative Oversight Project nonprofit after a two-year-long court battle.

"We now know what has been long assumed: the autopen scandal extends far back beyond just when Joe Biden 'ran' for president from his basement," Oversight Project President Mike Howell said in a statement.

"These tapes have so many pauses and 'ums' that it sounds like Biden is buffering like a dial-up Internet connection," Howell added.

In one part of an interview with Zwonitzer, Biden says, "Alright -- what was I going to ask you? Something else... Uh... um. Oh gosh. I can't think of anything else."

In another moment, Biden asks his ghostwriter to "Hang on a second," while he apparently studies his notes. "Um ... it's confusing me," the former president later says.

...

According the Oversight Project, the recordings prove "Biden was already demonstrating significant cognitive decline" when he began meeting with Zwonitzer -- just a few months after leaving the Obama administration -- for the 2017 book, "Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose."

"In the sections of the audio tapes that were not redacted, Biden references his confused state of mind on many days," the group said in a statement. "As we know occurred during his Presidency, Biden was clearly experiencing good days and bad days as far back as 2017."

During Zwonitzer interviews with Biden the former president read "nearly verbatim" from notebooks that contained sensitive national security and foreign policy, according to Hur's 2024 report on the classified documents investigation.

"So this was, I early on, um, in '09 I just found all the classified stuff downstairs," Biden is heard telling Zwonitzer in one snippet from the roughly 70 hours of recordings.

"Some of this may be classified so be careful with it," the 46th president warns his ghostwriter at one point. "I'm not sure ... It's not marked classified but --"

On the tapes, Biden could be heard discovering classified material in real time as he leafed through papers with Zwonitzer nearby.

"The next thing I have here is, um, this is classified ..." Biden says in another snippet.

The former president also described potentially classified White House meetings with Zwonitzer, according to CBS News, which first-reviewed the tapes, including "a big meeting with the CIA and everyone," "a big meeting down in the Situation Room," and "a long meeting where DOD brief ... POTUS."

In an Oct. 10, 2016, recording, Biden brags that he retained notes without anyone being aware.

"I have extensive notes over this period of time... They didn't know I have this," he said, according to the outlet.

Hur found that Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials" after leaving the vice presidency but refused to charge the then sitting president because he would "likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

The Oversight Project argued that the extent of Biden's disclosure of classified information is "much more egregious than previously disclosed" by Hur.

"At several points in the tapes, Biden references the information he is reviewing is likely classified, which is followed by significant audio redactions for classified information," the group said in a statement. "This was not just once or twice, these classified redactions cover significant portions of the audio files released.

"The listener shouldn't overlook the audio redactions because those redactions are intended to cover the disclosure of classified information."

Indeed, the huge amounts of the tapes that have been redacted for national security reasons shows just how wilful Biden's exposure of classified information really was.


Pages of one of the interviews were also blacked out that was between Zwonitzer and an "unidentified male speaker," and other portions were blacked out because of the National Security Act. Other information was blacked out by the CIA.

Audio recordings:

The Oversight Project released hours of audio recordings, which were filled with breaks that highlighted the sharing of classified information. Biden also acknowledged that he had documents still in his possession that the White House had not been aware of.

The audio recordings also highlighted the former president's memory lapses, where he failed to recall the names of some of his associates and got days confused, showing that Biden's memory issues were prevalent before he even became president.

One example occurred in April 2017, where Biden could not remember the name of one of his economic advisors, Alan Krueger.

"I'll think of his name," Biden said. "I should write the names down because I keep forgetting them."

Oversight Project:

The Oversight Project highlighted that the extent of Biden's sharing of classified information was far greater than Hur previously indicated, and that multiple times in the tapes and transcripts, Biden references the information he is reviewing is likely classified, which is followed by audio redactions.

"The listener shouldn't overlook the audio redactions because those redactions are intended to cover the disclosure of classified information," the Oversight Project wrote in a news release. "The silence of the redactions loudly demonstrates that Biden knowingly and willfully disclosed classified information to his ghostwriter."

52 I think the key point that gets lost in the quoted portions above is that these were classified files in 2016, before Biden became president.

This isn't the Trump situation where they accused him of keeping classified files after he left the presidency. As president, he can declassify anything he wants to.

Biden didn't have the power to declassify. So he was in illegal possession of classified files, and sharing them with reporters. Guys are sitting in prison for much less.

He's also the head of litigation at the Oversight Project and probably the person most responsible for getting the tapes released. And he hates Biden.

76 57 Now, if you can tie his obvious mental decline to statements from current Dems who swore he was competent to serve a second term, you might get a little mileage out of this.

If you can somehow use it, and other evidence, to show he didn't sign bills and pardons, and others did without his approval...that could be one of the greatest scandals in US history.

If you're too old and demented to be charged with mishandling classified documents, you're too old and demented to sign pardons, much less be president.

127 The 2020 election was rigged and Biden was installed as the junta head because he was a demented idiot. The presidency was run as a conglomerate for four years by the people in the intelligence agencies who setup the entire op and their minions who occupied advisory posts.

The election rigging isn’t some fairytale, and since the media was all in on this coup, you’ll never hear it from them. But the proof is out there- Georgia, Arizona, etc. They have uncovered most of the fraud and the ghost voters magically disappeared in 2024 when everyone was looking.

Election rigging, especially mail in ballot fraud, illegal voting, machines with substantial flaws and tallying processes vulnerable to manipulation are the only way Democrats can win an election.

Something always happens. Maybe not exactly what we want but it's pretty undeniable that the country is going through enormous change right now including Trump being president for a 2nd term when a few years ago it looked like he was a dead man walking.

Democrats are being taken over by communists largely because the old guard, Biden in this case, was a colossal failure. He will go down in history as the most corrupt placeholder to ever be in office.

We still aren't on equal footing because the courts are thoroughly corrupt and filled with activists posing as judges. Still a long way to go but things are happening and we are winning. If we weren't, Kamala would be president and the country would be overrun with illegals and in taters.

Voters don't think this way. At worst if they ever gave it a second thought (which they probably wouldn't) they would just say to themselves well he worked for the guy, what was he supposed to say.

People don't think or make decisions in these three-step dances. It has to be far more compelling. Kerry being a "flip flopper" wasn't about him changing his mind on any one thing. In fact 98% of the people convinced by the nickname probably couldn't tell you anything he actually flip flopped on. It just fit because of how he looked and acted. You knew he was a spineless snake. Same way other things fit. Like Lyin Ted, Low Energy Jeb.

The idea that some average dummy who doesn't know jack shit is going to hear an argument about what someone said about someone else and were wrong about, and be fundamentally moved by it is pure schnapsidee from us tuned in folk.

Also - I thought it was only supposed to hit the wealthy? 1M$ isn't that much for a condo. Where is someone supposed to come up with 4% of their homes value EVERY STINKING YEAR?

The tax is on second homes. Not primary residences.

If you're rich enough to have a $million+ property as a second or vacation home in what is already a very expensive city, then coughing up another 4% a year is just the cost of doing business.

Plus, as I've been saying, there are so many exemptions that you'd have to be an idiot -- or just lazy -- to not find a way around the tax.

Don’t be surprised that Mamdani—a man for whom a Judenrein Middle East is his political lodestar—also wants a Judenrein NYC. About 45% of NYC lawyers are Jewish. The odds of selecting 18 NYC lawyers at random and ending up with a panel containing no Jews are 0.55 to the 18th power—or roughly one chance in 47,149.

And it’s not about “Zionism.” There are plenty of anti-Zionist Jewish lawyers he could have picked, including thousands who, to their shame, voted for him. It’s about Jews. He hates Jews. It's not complex.

175 Well like any and all late war Luftwaffe planes there is much speculation on these machines.

But Red 8 and Red 9 fuselage codes are smaller than the other B-1a/U1s like Red 10, that batch were converted in Berlin by Lufthansa.

There is debate on the MG 151/20s. Some argue they were fitted after the planes were turned over to the British. Or at least the long tubes were. I am going with them because it is different.

But it was shipped to the US as FE-610 and sometimes called "Ye Olde Fruitcake." It was transferred to Cornell there it vanished, seemingly scrapped.

Rubio, Hegseth, and other Cabinet Secretaries are in the second and third rows.

What is hilarious is that the Dims and his puppet masters thought they could hide his dementia from anyone with a functioning brain cell watching him. I thought President Trump showed great restraint at the debate, and could tell he felt a bit sorry for the buffoon Dr. Jill pushed onstage. "You answered all the questions, Joe! Good job!"

The ACA is the last piece of real policy passed by Congress. Some minor stuff nibbilng at the edges, but nothing of actual policy implication in almost 20 years.

Forced deportations are more than 1 million since Trump 2.0 started. Estimates for self-deportation are a ratio of between 3-6:1 per forced deportation, so at least 4 million have left in just over a year.

And arrests and deportations are increasing. June was the biggest month ever for it. July has already surpassed it.

We'll get the Biden imports out before Trump leaves. It's the other 80 million that are the big question.

It took 60 years to get us to this point. We can't undo 60 years in 4.

Obama is neither Democrat nor Republican; that's all petty internal shit that doesn't matter to outsiders who want to take the country down. He simply knew which party to pick for his Destroy America project.

I guarantee you that this is already an undercurrent of thought on the left. The further left, the more near the surface the thought is.

Rich people bought Hillary's nomination away from Bernie, Biden's nomination away from Bernie (everyone kind of forgets Biden had a presidency at this point), and just outright bought the nomination for Kamala.

Another loss where some major donors seem to be steering the ship away from the left's brand of populism (Kamala is pure establishment by this point, especially with who is in charge of the DNC), and the DSA fights of 2026 might look quaint.

Mamdani Publishes Names of Property Owners Whose Estates Will be Confiscated

The list of properties to be hit with a huge tax penalty, large enough so that the owners will mostly be forced to sell, turns out to be a bigger list than the laughing boy socialist demon had promised.


Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration has published a searchable database of Big Apple properties that could fall under the state's new pied-a-terre tax, effectively doxxing thousands of wealthy New Yorkers.

The city's Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list -- which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million -- including the full names and addresses of every property owner.

"It's a reckless and foolish move, especially considering there are potentially thousands of properties on this list that do not qualify as second homes or whose owners will successfully dispute their inclusion," Council Minority Leader David Carr (R-Staten Island) -- whose own home appears on the list -- told The Post Monday.

Elderly women who had lived at their properties for decades were in the lists. Note it's supposed to be a list of basically-empty properties used as a vacation homes or, as the name of the tax puts it, pied-a-terres. But properties where the owner lives there year-round are on the lists of estates to be seized.


The move follows a widely panned X post by the mayor in which he put wealthy residents on notice to "check your mailbox when you're back in the five boroughs, because you've got mail," a warning that notification letters were on their way.

...


The socialist darling has long touted the policy enacted by Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats to tax second homes in the city -- though critics have warned it could cause property values to plummet.

Mamdani threatened to raise city property taxes by a staggering 9.5% in February unless he was allowed to "tax the rich" to cover a $12 billion budget gap that was later revised down to $5.4 billion.


But Democratic city Comptroller Mark Levine's office said the real figure would be closer to $340 to $380 million and could diminish over time.

Unsurprisingly, the colossal database of names and addresses included several A-list New Yorkers, including director Woody Allen, longtime Vogue editor Anna Wintour and actress Cynthia Nixon -- a loyal Mamdani supporter.

What is surprising is the document's sheer size and some of the properties included.

Citywide, The Post counted over 960,000 residences and individuals listed as potentially in line to be hit with Mamdani's pied-a-terre tax, even though just 31,000 homes were supposed to be subjected to the new levy as he and Hochul initially sold it to the public.

Many of the homes included in the database appeared to be misaligned with a tax aimed at well-heeled residents with multi-million dollar vacation homes, including some two dozen modest homes on Chaffee Avenue in working-class Throggs Neck in the Bronx.


Challenger Drive on Staten Island was another middle-class enclave with dozens of addresses appearing on Mamdani's list, though it wasn't clear that they were in fact second homes.

The average home values on Chaffee Avenue and Challenger Drive ranged from mid-$500,000s to the low $800,000s -- a far cry from the price tag of your average New York summer residence.

Weird! A socialist promised he would only seize the properties of the very wealthy turns out to want to seize the properties of the middle-class as well. I never saw that one coming.

@geraldposner

Journalist Miranda Devine drops the hard truth this morning on FOX: Zohran Mamdani's searchable database of New Yorkers hit by his second-home tax isn't policy theater--it's a public doxxing list.

Mamdani's Dept. of Finance just published a searchable database of names and addresses for about 960,000 NYC properties tied to his new "wealth tax" on second homes -- nearly 30x the 31,000 homes it was supposed to cover. It's already drawn "dangerous precedent" criticism from business leaders and City Council members.

Addresses and names of people--as @mirandadevine
points out--whose only "crime" is owning a NYC pied-à-terre, handed to "professional squatters... or worse case, Luigi Mangione wannabes" who already romanticize violence against "capitalists."

Devine calls it out as classic Mamdani. He poses as a "principled defender of human-rights while doing his Israel and capitalist bashing, but really he is a Marxist Islamist revolutionary." He's driven by grievance and destruction and that's why 9/11 families don't want him at Ground Zero.

Watch the full 1.20 clip about why this latest Mamdani policy isn't governance but rather incitement with a government logo on it.

Hello! I'm under the weather today. I hope you're well.

5 New York is unique in that property records are generally easily available. So this is a big deal.

But if you have a modicum of knowledge, you can find this information very easily in almost every other city/county.

Last week, my mom got a "pied-a-terre" tax notice. She has lived full-time in her townhouse FOR 30 YEARS (she and my dad bought it for under $1 million). She has no other residence.

Is NYC not bothering with basic checking of its own tax lists?

She's 81 and has three weeks to get her name off the list or she owes $56,000. (Yes, I said I'd help.)

18 Should I care that people who have funded Democrats for years are now crying for the beast to eat them last? Because I don’t.

The people in NY have voted like it’s a team sport for many years now. They trample any opposition using the legislature as their hammer and graft machine. All the various groups, including the Jewish community Democrats have now declared public enemy number one, have benefited greatly from the soils system they setup with the political leadership.

So forgive me if I say EATADIK.

You bought TWO tacos? One is perfectly sufficient. That second one is excess and will have a pied-a-terre tax applied.

That's a nice suit. You have more than one, right? Well then...

She's 81 and has three weeks to get her name off the list or she owes $56,000. (Yes, I said I'd help.)

Key Exemptions to the Surcharge
Primary Residences: Used as the primary home by the owner, their immediate family, or majority-interest entity owners.

Long-Term Rentals: Rented out via an arm's-length lease for a minimum of one year where the tenant uses it as their primary residence.

Value Thresholds: One- to three-family homes valued under $5 million, and co-op or condo units valued under $1 million (during the initial phase-in period).

Property Types: Standard rental apartment buildings, commercial real estate, hotels, vacant land, unsold sponsor units, or a block of more than three condos under single ownership.

I have acquaintances from bougie NJ who've separated NYC property under (for example) the wife's maiden name since purchase & also keep her name from showing up on their NJ properties, too.

My cat wasn't allowed in our bedroom. But she took home security seriously. So when we left the door open, she would cautiously and slowly walk to the middle of the room, plaintively announcing herself.

I liked to imagine she was saying, "I know I'm not supposed to be in here, but I have to check for intruders."

I wouldn't yell at her. I would just stand at the door and quietly say, "Come on." She would trot out of the bedroom as soon as I did.

The left wins elections in NY by a comfortable margin, so it is more of an issue to be selected in the primaries, where the voters are even more extreme. There, doing this will help.
If lots of people abandon the city, then the ensuing depression will push even more into his arms. I don't think Detroit has become more right-wing ever since it went bankrupt.
Besides, he and his allies have national ambitions. Even if they destroy NY, they can still turn it into a propaganda success, like Newsom in California.

Fact is with a minimum of due diligence, you can do the comps your self with Zillow or Realtor dot com and appeal anyway.

Something like 30-40 percent success rate as the dirty secret is these appraisal firms deliberately overvalue property figuring that a) some people don't appeal because now they have a govt set price for their home (usually those planning short term stays), and b) others won't due to fear, etc.

I also think we would be better off with a court that has something like 13 justices that would match the number of districts that we have in the federal system, and ideally appoint them in a way that isn’t so partisan.”

... why wait. Trump can appoint the new 4 justices this afternoon.

310 No. It's only record owners. Same as the "list" the mayor published. It's the same list. That's why there's so many properties on it. It's the entire tax roll for all Class 1 (houses) and Class 2 (condos) in the entire city.

So what's the point of publishing it if it's just a list of homes in NYC?

Mamdani promised about 31,000 homes/owners would be affected. This list includes nearly a million homes/owners - 32 times the promised number.

What's the point of publishing it?

The party is already built, my friend.

Think of what Trump would have done to the Republican Party *if they were willing to let him*.

Now take that and apply it to this operation.

That is the chance being taken. Whether it will succeed depends ENTIRELY on the opposition. Not voting. Not what people are comfortably with. They let Obama piss on this country for eight years. They let people die in all kind of places and the media covered it all up. Followed by rioting, looting, knockout games, a complete hijack of the culture, and intense in your face fraud. And they would have gotten away with every aspect were it not for a crazy person named Donald Trump.

Now go take a long hard look at the "opposition" and decide how this "movement" is actually going to be stopped, if not for the Hand of God again.

That’s not what they mean by that. I know it comes as a shock to others, but they are lying.

They want to abolish the police as historically structured. And they are getting good at it.

It’s analogous to guns. Democrats don’t “hate guns”, they fucking love guns. They hate you. They just don’t want you to have them. There will always be “law enforcement”

You might be surprised at what laws get enforced in the future. Remember they are evil, not necessarily stupid.

More like a coalition of evil. Some are chaotic evil, some neutral evil, and others are lawful evil. And they don't always agree on tactics nor on whom is doing what to whom. Most of the oligarchs are lawful evil for example and don't like Mamdani's and his followers chaotic evil shit because they like NYC as their own personal club. Neutral evil are probably figuring on how to make a buck out of the chaos.

The Tuesday Morning Rant

Mis Hum Rant.jpg


Good morning. CBD is on special assignment. Again. So you get this.

To be honest with you. I've been pretty busy with projects. And my daily upkeep of the news has been lacking.

As I was looking at my Face Book account Sunday morning there were some notifications from several people I know. They were responding to a news item I had no knowledge of. But, from what I gathered. Someone was killed by a cop in my home state's capitol city, Madison.

And the Chief of Police of Madison had lost control of a press conference.

So before I even searched web for "Madison Man Killed By Police", my guess was a black male with a felony record decided to play FAFO. Of course his death was not a result of his piss poor decision making skills but Madison's finest. Although Madison is about as woke as woke goes. The average LEO wants only one thing. To return home at the end of his/her shift. No "Madison Man Killed By Police" you cannot play FA and not face FO.

One of the articles that came up when I hit searched, "Madison Man Killed By Police" was the following: Madison police kill man in broad daylight in front of witnesses.

State Sen. Kelda Roys, another candidate in the primary, said, “Let this city wrap its arms around Corey’s family and loved ones, and demand justice for him and them and all of us. There must be a full, independent investigation and the responsible officers held fully accountable under the law, as required by Wisconsin statute. The Department of Justice should serve as the lead investigator to ensure fairness and impartiality. We do not have to accept this as normal or inevitable. It is NOT. No other country in the world tolerates this level of police violence. We can and must create a more just, safe world for all of us.”

My curiosity was certainly piqued about this man, Cory Ruiz, killed by Madison police.

What did I find out when I went to the wonderful Wisconsin Circuit Court Access record of one Cory Ruiz? Mr. Ruiz was born on January 5, 1988. At the time of his death on July 22, 2026 he was 38 years of his age.

According to Wisconsin's CCAP Mr. Ruiz's first brush with the Wisconsin court system as an adult was in 2007 at the ripe age of 19. Just a minor conviction of disorderly conduct. Oh but it gets better. One of my favorites was from 2009 when our aspiring Rhodes Scholar was singled out for the following:

Dane County Case Number 2009CF000495 State of Wisconsin vs. Corey D Ruiz

The defendant Corey D Ruiz was found guilty of the following charge(s) in this case.

Strangulation and Suffocation, a class H felony, Wisconsin Statutes 940.235(1).
Robbery with Use of Force, a class E felony, Wisconsin Statutes 943.32(1)(a).
Strangulation and Suffocation, a class H felony, Wisconsin Statutes 940.235(1).
Charge(s) in this case were read in to this or other case(s). A "read in" charge is a charge that is dismissed as part of a plea agreement, however:

The defendant agrees to have the court consider the charge(s) when sentencing for another crime, under Wis. Stats. 973.20(1g)(b); and
The defendant cannot be prosecuted for these charge(s) in the future.

I'm guessing the sealed juvenile record of this distinguished citizen is about as long as long as my 2 arms.

I'm not sure why I'm ranting about a loser thug who has been in trouble his entire adult life. It's so predictable. And of course if the victimization of the deceased doesn't upset you. This might do it. The Madison politicians are just as fvcked up as their dead criminals.

As with Officer of Derek Chauvin of the St. George Fiasco of Minnehopelis. These 4 Madison cops don't stand a chance. And I for one am sick and fvcking tired of an American race that cannot and will not act civilized; the politicians which enable their predictable criminal behavior and the resulting mayhem affecting the law abiding citizens which they supposedly "represent".

Obviously the black community has forgotten the PSA put out by Chris Rock. I guess it's time to remind all people who might have contact with a LEO.


And that's my rant, for now.

32 These are ultimately carefully choreographed operations, designed and intended to create maximum chaos. In my opinion. Cultivate division and hatred through tribalism. “The worse, the better”, right?

Law enforcement is a hell of a thing, and I’m no reflexive boot-licker. However comma

Recruitment, retention, and morale is not what it might be otherwise. The politicians throw the cops under the bus the first opportunity that presents itself.

What you end up with is an insanely expensive operation where they don’t bother to protect public safety and keep the peace. They drive around “tourists in blue”, maybe take a nap behind the old K-Mart till the shift is over.

Why put your ass on the line for a pool of retarded ingrates and less than worthless politicians? I can’t wrap my mind around this level of stupid all around.

It pains me because I know we have black readers here, and I don't like condemning an entire race. However, it's undeniable that America's black subculture does have serious problems, out of all proportion to their numbers. It's condescending to deny it. They do.

The left keeps saying we have to have a conversation about race, by which they mean whites must abase themselves to blacks. Sorry, I don't play that. I'm ready to have a REAL conversation, one that involves speaking unpleasant truths, but somehow I don't think the militant black wing wants that. Black America will not heal until the race grifters are driven from the public square and they confront their problems directly.

Looking at it from a Dem perspective, Carville might have a point. Hogg thought that a new generation of Dems should take over from the old guard, and the old guard obviously didn't agree. Everyone now does agree that Martin just isn't up for the job, and the new guard is storming the gates in the form of the DSA. If Hogg did run it there would have been a chance that the Dems could have co-opted the DSA. It may not have worked, but they could have bought some time. Now, they will get a hostile takeover, and the old guard doesn't have the personnel to do anything about it.

94 Whether Lyndon Johnson actually said the words, the intent was clear. Democrats spent decades targeting the black community and making them wards of the state. Destroy the family, make government the head of the household, and keep them beholden too and voting for the Democrat Party. And it worked, right up until it didn't.

The dysfunction in a good part of the black community is due largely to the left. It's not some genetic trait, it's learned behavior. The Great Society welfare state was one of the biggest failures in US domestic policy and we are living with the consequences now.

Speaking as one of those black readers, I have to agree with you. It's interesting that for the longest time it's considered patriotic by the Left if one criticizes America, because the criticism is meant as a spur to improvement. Reasonable people can disagree, but I see the point of that line of reasoning.

That POV just doesn't exist in modern black America. You either have the race hustlers who are the ones that everyone hears about, or people who keep their heads down and say nothing because nobody wants to be called a race traitor. I was at a town committee meeting recently, and I was accused of that in subtext. All the while, however, nothing changes.

It does hurt to see some of the comments here over the years, but it hurts my heart more to know that, in large part, these criticisms find their mark in truth.

131 While some of you go hog-wild riffing on Carville's suggestion that David Hogg ascend to the mantle of DNC Chairpyrsyn, may I temper this "enthusiasm of the moment" with the following observations?

1) Mr. Hogg is a Harvard alumnus. Harvard, along with Yale, are known for being incubators of most of the 'elite' managerial talent in U.S. Government history.

2) Mr. Hogg, along with Mr. Emhoff and Mr. Walz, were established during the 2024 electoral celebrations as the very celebrations of Modern Masculinity.

So, in conclusion, Mr. Hogg represents a blend of Ivy League intellectual ability and expertise, coupled with a testosterone-fueled presence that few can match.

133 Looking at it from a Dem perspective, Carville might have a point. Hogg thought that a new generation of Dems should take over from the old guard, and the old guard obviously didn't agree. Everyone now does agree that Martin just isn't up for the job, and the new guard is storming the gates in the form of the DSA. If Hogg did run it there would have been a chance that the Dems could have co-opted the DSA. It may not have worked, but they could have bought some time. Now, they will get a hostile takeover, and the old guard doesn't have the personnel to do anything about it.
Posted by: Darrell Harris at July 28, 2026 11:29 AM (Mk4yJ)

The best part is that Carville is having to face the fact that Hogg is pathetic as well. He and his people ran the dem party so badly that now the old song has come true for them; "everywhere is freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies, where is sanity?"

It would be racist to attribute these traits only to whites, instead they "characterize whiteness".

And that distinction is to do both at the same time. Criticize white society for expecting these virtues, and avoid saying that they are exclusively white.

Yes, the main thing is to destroy what makes societies function. But there is also a sort of Phil Donahue-esque theme that societal expectations on anybody of anything is EVIL and mean.

Yes, the DNC and DSA have identical policies, but the trick the DNC mastered was to brand their candidates as 'moderate' so they can get elected. After that, their common radicalism would be legislated in - with the assent of the GOPe, of course.

Now, unfortunately, the truth-in-advertising DSA is saying the quiet part out loud - this is their brand. This will serve to make the Dems unelectable in national elections.

Posted by: Cow Demon at July 28, 2026 11:05 AM (4g5V+)

The Communist actually take the side of the worst dirtbags who are obvious recipients of cop delivered consequences. The worse the better to turn people against all cops. Rodney King, Michael Brown, George Floyd were all doped up thugs who were resisting arrest.

Notice the Community Organizers didn't find the death of Eric Gardner to be useful because that was a case of excessive force by cops to enforce a nitpicky law (one designed to ensure NYC wasn't missing out on tax money through selling cigarettes individually). His death was unnecessary, unlike this Ruiz cat, who essentially committed suicide by cop.

178 Second interview seemed to go about as well as the first. Next will be the client interview at some TBD point. Hopefully later this week?

I remember when the hiring process involved one visit.

Those two are nothing but a professional grifting couple. He plays the Dems, she played the Republicans. I'm sure they've both always been Dems at heart.

180 But the younger voters, even those center-left ones? They like the fake allure of socialism. They are generally lazy, over-educated but under-qualified, disillusioned with their future prospects (mostly their own fault, ofc), and they want the Lamborghini the CEO has, without working for it. DSA has a strong appeal to them.

The downwardly mobile "elites".

Exactly. Plus, heavily in debt for worthless degrees. Yet they'll spend 10x as much on food-delivery apps and trendy frivolity than someone with 100x their net worth.

They are the most self-destructive generation probably ever, but ofc they will never blame themselves.

181 I don't think the "downwardly mobile" are anywhere near, elite. They are the Socialist children of wealthy parents. They've been taught nothing but Socialism since they entered school... any school. They've no useful education beyond that.

They use what money they have to rabble rouse the others in their little groups.

Most probably work at Starbucks.

183 If someone is screaming in your face and blocking your way, is it legal for you to pepper gel them in the face. My personal preference would be red spray paint but my husband said that might critically injure them.

185 I learned about "Black time" in the 1990s. KTLA would show all the Lakers home games and the cable network showed most of the away games.

A game that was supposed to start a 7:00 pm, usually didn't start until 7:40.

MLB and NFL don't put up with that.

188 Has anyone asked why young black people re so prone to violence?

May be it's something in their diet or a lack of a certain vitamin like B12.


We're not allowed to say it too loudly, but it's single mothers. Boys raised by single mothers have sharply negative outcomes for all races. It's worse when all of their friends are also from single mothers, too.

193 I struggle to identify any topic on which you can expect the mainstream media to present the news thoroughly, knowledgeably, and without bias.

On the other hand, there certainly *are* topics on which you can 100% trust them to deliver the most pig-ignorant, wrong-headed, straight-up retarded take imaginable, and police-involved shootings are one of those topics.

The constant drum beat of false oppression may have something to do with it.
