Thursday Overnight Open Thread - March 12, 2026 [Doof]
Gordie Howe Bridge tolls - beauty, eh? Gordie Howe Bridge announces toll prices significantly lower than Ambassador Bridge, Detroit-Windsor Tunnel
The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority has announced toll prices for the upcoming Gordie Howe International Bridge. The new bridge connects I-75 in Detroit to Highway 401 in Ontario. The Detroit Regional Chamber called it “the most consequential infrastructure project in the state.” The Gordie Howe Bridge is owned by Michigan and Canada, but is being paid for almost entirely by Canada. While the bridge does not have an official opening date, it is still expected to open to traffic this spring. On Wednesday, March 11, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority announced both the toll prices and Breakaway, a toll discount program that allows vehicles to pass through toll lanes without having to stop and pay. With Breakaway, the toll for passenger vehicles is less than half the current price to cross the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, both of which raised their tolls this year.----- AI is asshoe Sam Altman admits AI is killing the labor-capital balance—and says nobody knows what to do about it
Speaking at the BlackRock Infrastructure Summit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tackled the growing public skepticism surrounding artificial intelligence, acknowledging the warning from President Donald Trump that AI is facing a major public relations problem. Moreover, the tech executive validated widespread anxieties about the future of employment, admitting that the traditional balance between labor and capital is shifting drastically. Addressing the current backlash, Altman noted that AI has become a widespread scapegoat for corporate downsizing and rising utility costs. “Data centers are getting blamed for electricity prices hikes. Almost every company that does layoffs is blaming AI, whether or not it really is about AI,” Altman explained, recalling his recent warning that some companies were engaging in what’s called “AI washing,” in blaming layoffs on new tech regardless if that was the reason for those layoffs in the first place. However, while some of the immediate blame might be misplaced, Altman confirmed that the underlying threat to traditional employment is grounded in reality.
New research conducted by the University of Bristol and developer Meaning Machine shows that gamers enjoy playing with AI-powered non-playable characters. The study comprised 68 people – 31 male, 31 female, seven non-binary – playing the studio's murder mystery game Dead Meat, in which users are tasked with interrogating suepects. The investigation showed that 95% of study participants found the experience enjoyable, while 97% found playing the game to be rewarding. 75% found that Dead Meat allowed them to "express themselves or make meaningful choices". University of Bristol researchers say that all the above sentiments remained true across the different types of games that were in the study. One sentiment expressed by participants was how the AI-powered NPCs in Dead Meat allowed for freedom of expression.----- Why? Just - WHY?!?

I'm watching Armageddon with the wife, and she asked "if an asteroid were headed towards Earth, do you think NASA might actually try something like this?"
I said "no, of course not. The top brass would try to burrow into the ground in some bunker along with the other bigshots, and leave these people to die along with the rest of us. They'd probably die too, but not before trying to screw everyone else."
She replied "that's a bad way to look at it."
I replied "have you ever lived in this country? It's the only way to look at it."
"Yeah, I see what you mean."

My girlfriend de jour got her rich Dad to give us passes to the loge seating at the venue. As such, we had reserved parking and an exclusive entryway. At the door I instinctively hid my bottles of booze underneath my coat. Our usher spied my liquor and said "Let me carry your luggage sir." And he did and took us up to our sky box.
The other normies were getting their weed and booze confiscated and pitched into a dumpster.

Fenris Wolf / Vox Day, "Rebel Moon" and "Rebel Moon Rising"; apparently the bad guys were good at reacting to player strategy, and could recalibrate. Ahead of their time for the late 1990s where enemies were generally stupid and/or scripted.
"The Hobbit". The other characters would... wander around the (text-adventure) set. Unlike the thief in Zork, the NPCs could get stuck in parts of the map you couldn't get to, which made it impossible for you to progress. I guess it's... like real life?

"President Trump on Thursday nominated a State Department official to lead the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees Voice of America (VOA), after a judge ruled Kari Lake was unlawfully running the agency as its acting CEO.
The president tapped Sarah B. Rogers, undersecretary of State for public diplomacy, as USAGM’s Senate-approved CEO. If approved, Rogers would replace current acting CEO Michael Rigas."

I have golfed a few holes that did just that. It is maddening. There is a course in West PA called Avalon Field Golf Club. Used to called New Castle Country Club. It's old. Built in 1921 by A.W. Tillinghast, who if you are familiar with golf architects, he's pretty famous. Anyway, several green's on that course do evil, maddening things. Beautiful course, very hard. Just keeping the ball on the fairway is a challenge. The terrain is very Western PA. Lots of ravines and trees. Blind shots all over the place. It's madness! Plan to golf there again this summer!

I'm a fan of their first three albums, their self-titled first album, 'Get Your Wings', and 'Toys'. All solid.
Funny thing about their song 'Dream On'. When it first came out, it didn't chart. But after later albums, they rereleased it and instant hit.

I did not come back to my office until August that year, for one week, and was basically considered a hero for doing so. We didn't come back en masse until years later, and we are now permanently "hybrid" and "hoteling".
I never realized it was Friday the 13th until I went back that August!
Hope tomorrow does finally really break the spell, but I'm keeping my hybrid silver lining and you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands!

The day before (Wednesday), our Chancellor sent word to all faculty and staff that all in-person events were cancelled and we were to work from home.
We had to pivot from hosting a conference on Thursday to hosting workshops on Friday to train faculty how to teach their classes remotely. Somehow we pulled it off quite well.

I recognize that brand name! Not sure what brand I had at home. I know I bought a Radio Shack receiver, you know the kind, with the fake but beautiful wood casing and the brushed aluminum front -- before everything in audio started looking like Darth Vader had designed it. I had some good speakers, JBL or Advent, and a JVC cassette deck/recorder.
A burglary in Sept. '83 did for the receiver, turntable, and cassette. I know I replaced them, but can't recall the brands. Not high-end stuff, but good quality.

Interestingly, Belloc viewed Islam as a Christian heresy, simplifying Catholicism by denying the incarnation and Sacraments.
Hillaire also accuses the Reformation as a heresy in a general sense because it broke the unified authority of the Papacy charging that Calvinism leads to the rise of nationalism and competitive capitalism.
Which is interesting because Calvinism is what allowed 9 billion people to inhabit this earth due to competitive capitalism that made all the things due to a strong work ethic and a desire to create and achieve.
Up until then, the world population was pretty flat-lined due to famine, poverty, hunger, war, etc.
Islam, OTOH, is the exact opposite of Calvinism and intends to destroy everything.
The affluence and freedom of this world was brought about by the Printing Press, Gunpowder and Calvinism, and will be destroyed by Censorship, the Sword and Islam.

Get a second opinion to make sure there are no torn ligaments and such. If that is so the steroid could hide the pain short term.
I had an acromial problem, visually - in barbell curl position, could not raise my elbow level to my shoulder - that a steroid shot worked like a miracle.
He told me to not move - I'm not good with needles - his nurse (big girl) sat on my arm to keep it still.
It wasn't painful, I'm just jiggly with needles.

Mine was a Dual 510 turntable which was a popular brand back in the day. It had a hinged clear plastic dust cover over the top. The cartridge was an Audio-Technica, the receiver was Onkyo and the floor speakers were JBL. Got a lot of musical enjoyment from that set-up.

I've been a Pioneer man since buying my first official "hi-fi" piece of equipment in the fall of 1982, the SX-4 receiver. Admittedly, it was the bottom end of their newest line, but it was all I could afford on my Burger King minimum wage at the time. I soon acquired the CT-6R cassette deck, and the PL-4 turntable, all of which were well used until a storm took out the receiver and turntable in '86. Replaced with the SX-2300 and the PL-L-30 linear tracking turntable...which is still on my stereo cabinet to this day. I've since upgraded to the Elite line for the receiver, though (currently the VSX-LX103)

AC/DC always hovered *just* below the metal line, but they did have their moments when they went over the line. The back in black album was great, and it happened right at the perfect moment of the British metal invasion when actual metal bands were releasing iconic albums of that time. Judas priest's British Steel, Black Sabbath heaven and hell, Iron maiden's Iron Maiden, and a bunch of others. Before the back in black album they had a few heavies like the song Sin City. There were songs that were just heavy enough, kinda dancing on the line. AC/DC was always a heavy rock band, maybe not metal, but damn close enough.

Talk to a physical therapist as well, or ask for a reference. Once you get it unfrozen you are going to have to get some mobility back into it. Even if you get home exercises, they will help.
You might also consider a chiropractor because your neck and back are also going to be out of alignment.
Also, hotpad.

And the dead were 3 song hacks. At the same time AC/DC songs were actually only a few chords. Very first band I was in out of high school played a shit ton of AC/DC, and I never had to sit down with the albums to learn any of the songs. I just listened to them in the car while driving. They did follow a certain pattern. Very easy stuff, but it sounded good the way they did it. I think it was Malcolm Young who said past the 9th fret was the dusty part of the neck. lol

Near as I can figure out, their ideal scenario was for widely-distributed private property (to put it in modern terms, no "too big to fail" entities, or to put it in Biblical terms, "But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.").
Now, I can immediately see some problems with that... mom and pop telephone companies aren't gonna give you a global internet, and there are of course other economies of scale. But it's interesting, and I hope to learn more about it.
There is certainly something to the view that when a "private sector" organization gains too much power, it starts looking a lot like a government.

Nah. In Jerusalem, we relatively don't shelter much. However, last Shabbat we had to shelter during our mid-morning meal. Pup and I took our whiskey glasses with us downstairs.
Our pups in the center of the country have to shelter more often but for the most part they are currently staying in an apartment with a safe room where our grandkids sleep in. So they don't need food in there.
Now, up north is having constant incoming. If we would be there in our vacation home, I'd stock the safe room with some food and drink. Otherwise I might get the SADS.

No. From what I have been able to gather it was used to get her pay up to what she was asking when she started, about 2 months before me. I heard it was found out through an audit and they are actually asking for it back from her. I have only two facts right now.
1. There is a shift differential.
2. I don't get one yet work the shift.
Tomorrow is going to be fun. Which usually results in me looking for another job.

Out of curiosity I did a search on 'JQ'. I found "JQ International (JQ) is a Los Angeles-based organization, not a single synagogue, that fosters inclusion, community, and support for LGBTQ+ Jews and their allies."
I originally thought JQ might be something like 'CQ' which in the early days of radio meant a 'general inquiry' to any stations that might be able to respond. If you transmitted CQDX it meant you were trying for distance. The amateurs may still use it for all I know. I'm pretty sure we have one or two ham radio types among the horde.
With that I'm out for the night.

BIL uses "I'm deaf!" as a crutch, an excuse to not be self-reliant. Also, I think he's not 'all there' mentally anyway...
Took him to a behavioral health organization the other day, and told them everything I know. They interviewed him with me there to (try to) interpret, as there were no ASL interpreters available that day. There are very few resources in this area for the deaf.
Anyway, they said they would research possibilities & programs, based on info we gave, and we go back next week to find out what's available. I told them BIL *MUST* move out at end of next week. Period. And that he will be "on the street" at that time if something else cannot be found. Even a homeless shelter will do at that point.

I haven't forgotten. Those years of.. that feeling of dread, always at the back of mind. The hopelessness as his fugly mug stained every newspaper and magazine. How the MFM became fawning sycophants. Every day a new, nauseating revelation of his treasonous actions.

Yeah, well they never spent 93 hours assembling a bike from original parts from multiple sources with yang poon shit filling in the gaps. Nothing on this bike was ever part of this bike. The frame, trans, and front end were the only things, and all of those parts needed restoration. forks needed new tubes and dampers, the frame went out to a frame specialist for $2100 worth of work. Trans had to be redone. The engine started with cases that the idiot who owns it bought, the 2 halves were from 2 different engines, so they ended up with $1200 worth of work at a machinist to make the 2 halves line up. He had me disassemble an entire engine I built him last year to put all of that stuff on these cases he bought. The yang poon D-rings that go on the valve covers (pans) were made wrong, so the motor wouldn't fit in the frame because they were hitting the seat post. The yang poon rear brake drum was made wrong. Everything had to be fitted for this bike.

The attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan is horrifying. My thoughts are with the congregation and all who are shaken by this act of antisemitic violence. I am continuing to closely monitor the situation. Out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD will continue to deploy high-visibility patrols to Jewish religious and cultural institutions across the five boroughs.

I'm hoping that as they become less of an exotic luxury accessory and more accessible to ordinary shooters that increased demand will lead to increased production and new producers thus driving prices down. Really, there's no practical reason that a metal tube with some twisty bits inside should command that kind of price. It's just a matter of the numbers getting big enough to amortize the design and production startup costs.

Get yourself a mini-mill, make a 'universal bushing' or two* and pay the ATF's $0 tax! Like trigger groups the barrel bushing would be the registered part that you can attach home rolled cans too. Do it all above board of course. It is intended to cut costs, not circumvent regs. Because retail is still too fricken high. Granted titanium cans would be pricey homemade or not.

He was sentenced to11 years in jail in 2017 for giving material support to ISIS. Is it surprising he did the attack in 2026?
Reminds me of the cartoon of a judge looking down on a defendant handing out his multi year sentence.
The caption was ' please take a seat over there as your parole may take a few hours to approve.

But it was interesting as the Denezerium are shown to be the ultimate NPCs. Kodai and his allies scored an important victory by destroying an unmanned but vital Denezerium base.
In an instant across conquered Earth, the Denzerium now believe the base was full of women and children that Kodai and his allies massacred.
For you see the Denezerium are all connected to each other and to their AI Big Sister by bio-comm.
It seems the AI is not nice.

We had them on the base in Egypt, at the entrance of every barracks mobile building, because the drinking age was 18.
Then again, each nation's contingent had their own bars at South Camp. The Limey civilian contractors had the Wild Geese pub, two US dive bars in converted conex containers, the Canadian helo squadron and Italian Navy had their own places, the Dutch MPs and commo specialists had The Milkmaid (I still have the T-Shirt with the busty Dutch cartoon chick sucking on a straw, although it doesn't fit anymore).

then go to work with the knife.
Actually I would be pounding the crap out of the attacker's face to disorient once the weapon has been put under control. Use the handle of the knife as a way to break bone.
Then you can go all butcher shop - but if you have the firearm under control and the perp disoriented, in effect the firearm is yours and if still operable, that is now your primary weapon.

I think it goes like this: 2 Peter 3:8 "with the LORD a days is like a thousand years" and the Church Age began in 33 AD, so "After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up..." (Ho 6:2) so for in 2033 AD, will be the "two days" and the Millennial Kingdom is to be the third "day".

Roman Catholics look to 2033 as Symbolic Anniversary for Celebration and Reflection
Rick Warren is targeting the date for Global Evangelization where everyone will have heard the Gospel in their own language. (Apparently he hasn't read Col 1:23)
Its the Rapture Kooks who are almost all exclusively Evangelical of the American Religion who missed out on the 1988 Rapture and the 2012 Mayan Doomsday, and are too impatient for Isaac Newton's 2060 AD Second Coming (using 2 Peter 3:8 logic with Daniel 12:7 and Charlemagne's crowning 800 + 1260 = 2060).

Christians are closer to each other than they are to any other.

I like Martin Luther's view: "If I knew that the LORD would return tomorrow, I would still plant a tree today."
Date setting is great if you are planning a vacation or retirement, but is counter productive if planning for end of the world scenarios.
If you and everyone around you could see a life ending meteor on a collision course with the world in two days, would you go to work or settle scores and engage in whatever hedonism that you could?

On the surface you might claim that, but any scrutiny you wouldn't. For example, in the statement above, you would read in John 1:1-3 "Through him [Jesus] all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made"; Colossians 1:16 says "by [Jesus] all things were created... all things were created through Him and for Him"
So did the Godhead make all things (Gen 1:1; Acts 17:24) or did the Father who you claim, or did Jesus, as the NT writers say?
Doctrine would state that the Father is the Source, Jesus is the Agent and the Paraclete as Executor.
I seriously doubt that Evangelicals would even care.

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.

Protestants left out all sorts of things, but at least they got the NT correct.
Argue all you like, but the Bible was set by the 4th Century, until Martin Luther came along and chucked out a few books. Not sure that was called for, honestly, but the books he threw out didn't jive with his own personal theology.
So, there's that.

I categorize Baptists as Fundamentalist, not Evangelical, since they're more concerned with being Scripturally correct than "seeker-friendly." My authority is just personal experience as my family moved around a lot growing up, and also changed churches between moves.
In addition to Evangelical and Fundamentalist churches, I also attended a Pentecostal church, and eventually ended up Traditional (Roman Catholic specifically, but I include Orthodox in the type). I never attended a Mainline Protestant denomination, so I don't know if a further distinction would need to be drawn within that group, or if Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Lutheran, etc. are all close enough to the same.

Jerry Dunleavy IV
@JerryDunleavy Property of Allah hoodie guy shoots a bunch of people in Austin. ISIS-loving teens throw IEDs at anti-Islam protesters in NYC. An attack on a synagogue in Michigan. And an ISIS-supporting convict shoots up an ROTC classroom in Virginia. This is all within the month of March, btw.

@BillMelugin_ 45m BREAKING: I'm told by three law enforcement sources that the vehicle used in the attack at a Michigan synagogue today is registered to a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon who lives in Dearborn, MI. I have a name, but am waiting for confirmation that name matches the badly burned corpse that was driving the vehicle. Can only confirm the vehicle registration right now. More as we get it.

- Investment
- Diplomatic Bribery
- Corruption Flume
It's typically not the first one. But the cash we send Israel is the closest to being the first than any other, and else where we do precious little of the second these days, either. It's all dirty dirty money sluicing across the oceans and seeping its way back to the Anointed in the swamp.
Once we've axed every single penny going anywhere else in the world for anything other than pure straight up bribery, then we can take a look at cutting off Israel. That's my gut feeling on it.

The Camp David Accords between Israel, Egypt, and the US back in Carter era set forth a military aid formula. For the most part, that foreign aid is more like a buy American weapons with it than unrestricted foreign aid. So most of our 'aid' to Israel and Egypt comes back to the US weapons factories as orders.
Reason why Israel issued a lot of American small arms in the past and currently spends a lot of its money on US munitions and war tech.

Tik Tok and not being able to read. 'Visual' learners almost always end up having problems in the classroom if it requires substantial reading and writing. Require reading and writing in a class, it changes the course dynamics versus idiotic multiple choice testing.
Know this as a fact, not speculation, from teaching over twenty years at a university.
And lastly, covid and its stupid regulations on kids has literally made many of the youngest students lose years of education with its foolishness, overreliance on their phones and being online, years more.
As a result, even kids at premier Ivy League colleges cannot read a complete book nor tell you what they read in comprehensible fashion if they did somehow stagger through it.

U.S. Central Command is aware of the loss of a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft. The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury, and rescue efforts are ongoing. Two aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely.
This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.

Trump knows my WIFE’S name. My CHILDREN’S names. Asks about my son’s baseball games by name. Trump NOTICES when I’m tired after standing 8 hours and says ‘Sit down, you need rest.’ Trump orders EXTRA food during long days: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’ Trump attended my FATHER’S FUNERAL when he passed. No cameras. No press. Just came to honor the man who raised the agent protecting him. After experiencing THIS - how can I go back to being called ‘agent’ by future Presidents? After Trump remembered my KIDS’ names, how can I protect someone who won’t even learn MY name? After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how can I go back to being treated like FURNITURE? Trump RUINED me.

Not all ranges allow for it, but one of the drills I like to do is moving backwards while firing, so you're extending the distance and buying time for another shot or two.

Amazon had an AI code slop moment yesterday/today where about 6 million orders were lost because someone misused code from AI. English banks had a similar issue where people logged in and saw other people's accounts in full yesterday.
I personally think AI is oversold for routine matters right now on coding and customer no service functions. It can be useful as an aid to people like a CSR mebbe to call up transactions etc. or to remember an odd coding function, but is not ready for prime time to be unsupervised.
Unfortunately, companies and CEOs wanting to justify their massive expenses on AI cut out the human part in order to claim savings where the true savings will come from keeping those people in place but being able to improve their performance with AI.

If you're behind them you jam it into the neck and punch forward, according to SAS knife fighting doctrine. Femoral arteries, liver, abdominal aorta - though you REALLY have to know what you're doing to hit the abdominal aorta. According to an old USMC knife fighting manual stabbing up into the crotch was taught for ambushes.

CNS hit is the Off Switch.
Unless you are swinging a two handed sword, ax, etc. kind of hard to do reliably. And even then the target has options.

So this asshole thinks that military action half a world away justifies killing people that have absolutely nothing to do with it, except they share the same religion? Did that retard consider that that same rationale could be used against his own co-religionists? Nah...'cause they're inbred retards. Plus, he's probably lying about those killed being his family...'cause they're liars as well as retards.

Rosanna Arquette Attacks Quentin Tarantino for Use of the N-Word as "Racist and Creepy," Tarantino Snipes Back That She's Irrelevant, Old, and Looking for Headlines to Advertise a New Movie She Directed
I find Tarantino's constant use of the n-word annoying as I find many of his "I'm so cool" tics annoying. But racist? No, not if you know anything about him. He had no father. His mother dated a black guy. Without any other male role model, Tarantino copied this black guy's mannerisms and sayings. Whenever you hear a Tarantino character say something that sounds "black", like "we got everything here from a diddle-eyed-joe to a damned-if-I-know," that is probably a direct lift from this black guy that Tarantino took as a surrogate father.
Variety
@Variety Mar 9 Quentin Tarantino fires back at "Pulp Fiction" star Rosanna Arquette after she criticized his use of the N-word in movies as "racist and creepy." "Dear Rosanna, I hope the publicity you're getting from 132 different media outlets writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me and a film I remember quite clearly you were thrilled to be a part of? Do you feel this way now? Very possibly. But after I gave you a job, and you took the money, to trash it for what I suspect is very cynical reasons, shows a decided lack of class, no less honor. There is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues. But it would appear the objective was accomplished. Congratulations
Q"
Why do Tarantino characters constantly reference blaxploitation movies? Why does Tarrantino have an encyclopedic knowledge of blaxploitation movies, and regards them as high art? Because Tarantino used to watch those movies with this black guy. So why does Tarantino say the n-word all the time? Because he heard his surrogate father figure always using it, and he thought it sounded so cool. And he's a lonely geek who has always sought ways to seem cool. Does that get him a pass? Well, I don't even know if a "pass" is needed to use a word in an artistic medium, particularly when we hear every single black male celebrity saying it, but yeah, if a pass is even needed, I'd say that gets him a pass. Should he have also cut out Hans Lanza saying "Jew" and "Jews are like rats" in Inglorius Basterds? Or is it singularly the n-word that is off limits? The guy is annoying, no doubt. And his thing with feet is fetishistic. But racist? He hero-worships a black guy his mom used to date and imitates him in what they tell me is the highest form of flattery. That's racist now, too? Tell me -- what is not racist, now, exactly? Rosanna Arquette, meanwhile, is trash. She has always been a famewhore and liar. You may have heard that Toto's song "Rosanna" was written for or about Rosanna Arquette. If you heard that, you heard that ultimately from Rosanne Arquette, who put that lie around the media to make her -- then an unknown actress -- seem important. In fact, the guys from Toto say the song was written about a member's girlfriend, not Arquette. The song was called "Rochelle" or something -- whatever her name was -- but that didn't fit the meter. They met Rosanna Arquette, realized "Rosanna" fit the three-beat meter, and changed the song title to that. That doesn't make the song "for" her or "about" her. She just had a name with three syllables they thought would make a better lyric than "Rochelle." As they say, "that bitch road our coattails for twenty years."
That's all you really have to know. And I have to warn you again: it's slow in the beginning, just set-ups and silliness without laughs. It all pays off at the end.

Personally, I like most of his movies, with the exception of Django and Hateful Eight.
As far as Rosanna Arquette goes, she was happy to be in Pulp Fiction at the time, so her bitching about the N word now seems insincere. She did show her bubbies in a lot of her movies though, so I'll give her a pass.

Some people like that, others don't.
Another funny series is Vicar of Dibley (even if a slight bit woke).
And Lineham was a writer on Father Ted which is even more absurdist comedy. Hit or miss as to whether you find that style of comedy funny or not. Like Monty Python, you will like the IT Crowd and Father Ted.

But...BUT...why don't the rules that apply to say...me...also apply to him?
And the answer is NOT because he had a black surrogate father. Its because he's a popular hollywood figure.
This is also why Roman Polanski gets a pass. And on and on
So...by the rules the left claims to believe Tarantino has been proven racist and should be cancelled.

I quite enjoyed Hateful 8.
And the early parts of Deathproof are cinema. Really, one of the best performances from Kurt Russell since Soldier. It's the third act where Tarantino goes--wait, this is supposed to be a B-movie tribute--and it goes all B-movie in a hurry. (Which I guess is an artistic choice...)

American actors don't do well in acidic humor and sarcasm as a rule. You have to be a bit misanthropic to do it correctly. Same difference in the British "The Office" starring Ricky Gervais compared to the American "The Office" with Carrey. Carrey is a likable goof along with the rest of the cast. The British comedy with Gervais is playing it straight while being a right bastard so that the audience laughs at him rather than the situation. And his office has not so lovable misfits as the American version.
I prefer the British version myself.

Haven't stepped in a theater since like 2008.
Even then there was about 15 or 20 minutes of announcements, ads, and trailers before the feature started.
I do recall thinking the trailers were a great part of the theater experience back in the 80s & 90s before the internet arrived.

The problem is, that font ran dry and I still like him, but not in the same way (for example the Diddle eye joe line the Ace mentioned was used in a couple of his movies.)
The Cramps were like that - at their concerts they played the most greatest and offbeat songs from the 50s that I had never heard of. I have a whole series of (I think Rhino?) albums - Songs the Cramps Taught us. Same with Tarantino - on his earlier movies I would watch, and then want to watch a dozen other movies that inspired it.

I met her the the summer of 1982, shortly after my bff and I moved to LA. A photographer (I think his last name Hagopian) liked my friend and somehow was connected to Toto and through them, knew Roseanna.
The three of us were literally walking on Ventura Blvd. and Roseanna was walking the other way. He introduced us and after we parted ways, he told us that was the "Roseanna" of the song. She was cute but sort of a hippy (and this was the preppy era). I was more impressed with her relationship to Uncle Charlie Weaver.

When a fight between two black guys breaks out on the basketball court, the n-word seems to instantly come into use.
The other times I hear it is when listening to rap music around black guys.

Relocating the story from the NYC of Lawrence Block's novel to LA, or is it Miami, ruined the idea for me. I've never seen it.

If Texas is, in fact, discriminating against Muslim schools, then this is an easy, easy case. The state cannot discriminate against Islam or any other faith in providing state benefits, including vouchers.

This bit bothered me, and I think flawed the whole scene.
To an Italian, calling him an eggplant is mulignana (Naples Italian, I am not sure about Sicilian) is a slang word for "black." (Not the n word slang, but maybe the c word.)
Hopper should have known that but his response about cantaloupe sounds like he didn't. I mean, if he knew so much about the area, he should had known that.

The last 20 minutes or so is probably my favorite section of any Tarrantino film.
It's almost cathartic just watching Tex and the two girls get beaten to hell, mauled, and fried to a crisp.
It's really the easiest Tarrantino film to watch, nothing too outrageous or crazy until the end when you're just waiting to see how it all ends up.
And I only recently figured out that (a really cute) Sidney Swinney plays the girl at the screendoor of the main house when Brad Pitt (Cliff) goes to Spahn Ranch.

Tex had a gun, the girls had knives.

Pretty much all self defense even if Cliff was high as a kite on acid.
In 1969 California, I'm assuming it would've been justifiable.
But yeah, it's just a movie.
Tarrantino's fantasy of what should've happened, as after the Tate murder Hollywood itself changed forever (as Quentin sees it).

Multiple federal sources confirm to @FoxNews
that the suspected ODU shooter is Mohamed Jalloh, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Sierra Leone who was convicted in 2017 of providing support to ISIS. He was released in December 2024. Here's what DOJ said after his arrest in 2016: "Jalloh praised the gunman who killed five U.S. military members in a terrorist attack in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in July 2015, and stated that he had been thinking about conducting an attack similar to the November 2009 attack at Ft. Hood, Texas."

Let's see. I know we don't like doing math here. However, 2017 plus 11 years equals 2028, if my second grade math skills are reliable.

I also love the floral decor.
I still wish someone, anyone, would put a turban on an amputated leg. With florals. Then Ace could light it on fire.
And, before I am accused of being mean (and I am),my own father had an amputated arm from a farming accident and joked about it as well when he could. Especially with kids. Little bro, age 2yrs, asked him what happened. He said, "Well, buddy, I lost it." Bro returns about a half hour later and said,"Daddy, it is really lost because I looked everywhere." We laughed.
He was a WWII Marine Sgt who fought in Peliliu, and that's the way we roll. He taught me to be sarcastic or else it is in our DNA.

My best friend's step-father lost an arm to a piece of machinery on his farm.
We found him crawling up the road to the house, with a tourniquet on. Got him to the hospital and he survived.
Every year, for Christmas, my family would bake him a batch of one armed Gingerbread Men.
Occasionally, he'd call my dad and tell him he was stuck in the middle of the lake in his rowboat and he needed us to come over and get him.

Responding cops still took almost 10 minutes and found him dead. No way only 3 get shot in 9 minutes without someone(s) on site being an absolute hero.

My father was a force. Nothing could stop him. I didn't stop him, and he loved me. To be encouraged to be crazy is freeing for children. He'd be mad at me like a summer thunderstorm and then gone. He died a peaceful and happy man, surrounded by love.
Six weeks after that accident he took us deep sea fishing off the FL coast. Because he had already chartered the boat and was determined to not let anything stop him. Nothing did. He invented stuff to make up for the missing arm. The only danger we faced was if he drove with his knees to wave at people.
I never shed a tear about this in front of him as it would have destroyed him. I was days after turning 16yrs old and always his only girl.

One, Jalloh was Guard, not Regular Army and the Guard does not generally spend a whole lotta time on marksmanship, especially if the unit is not infantry. Second, most people in prison are criminals, not jihadis. Criminals are cowardly sneaks that don't mind hurting others but don't like being hurt themselves. Surveys show their greatest fear is running into an armed civilian even over police, and three, my guess is his cunning plan was to go somewhere that he thought was gun free and unload his weapon. Shades of Baldrick there.
Immediate confrontation with whatever you have at hand is best to stop and slow down spree killers. After action reports show that, throwing things, charging the shooter, etc.

Jill Biden is publishing a memoir, View From the East Wing, about her time serving as first lady “in the midst of a pandemic and the shadow of an insurrection,” as she put it in her announcement video.
Unsurprisingly, her memoir “is likely to hit bookstores before her husband’s does,” according to the New York Times.

I suppose it may work for some them, but I wouldn't be too eager to teach a 7th century religion which inspires johad on the regular to a bunch of young, unemployed, men with addictive personalities.
They've been doing that in the Middle East for centuries and it doesn't seem to have helped most of the men there get on the straight and narrow path to peaceful co-existence and a love for life.

I've read too many after action reports that you cannot rely on police to save you with a spree killer. They are minutes away and you have seconds to act. But, spree killers that were immediately challenged killed and hurt far fewer people than the hunker down and cover.
Plus courage is contagious. One student wrestler, in Oregon, stopped a school shooter by charging him and following what his dad told him about semi auto pistols. They are easy to jam by grabbing the slide, you might get shot once but the gun will jam without a second shot. The hero got shot but lived and saved quite a few lives as he then after being shot prevented the cowardly spree killer from rearming.

Well all the soldiers were unarmed. I think I recall a cop shot Hasan at the clinic or hosptial he attacked, and it was a crippling shot that probably stopped the threat. So I suppose the PoPo training kicked in, the threat was neutralized so stop firing at him.
Of course with Barky in charge Hasan was not going to get a quick conviction and death sentence. I suppose he was sentenced to life, my super quick web search didn't show that, just that he's supposedly a case study for lone wolf attacks. Should have been hanged and then sewn in pigskin and buried in pigshit as a lesson to other would be traitor jihadis in the military but it was the time of electing B freaking HUSEIN O less than 10 years after 9/11.

I've believed the same thing for a long time. Democrats have closed primaries. Republican states tend to have open primaries. Republicans are always oddly willing to allow Democrats to manipulate the vote.
If you're a Democrat living in Dallas, you have no worries about voting for John Cornyn. You know without doubt that he is going to sell out the conservative cause every single time. He probably communicates Republican strategies with his Democrat masters. I would assume the same of Thune, McConnell, Murkowsky, Collins, Lankford, etc. They are inside our tent, working for our enemies.

A heroic ROTC student fatally stabbed the crazed gunman who opened fire inside an Old Dominion University classroom Thursday, preventing further carnage, law enforcement sources said.
Shooter Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, gunned down an instructor before the unidentified cadet jumped into action during the frantic scene on the Virginia college campus, according to sources.
Jalloh, who was previously convicted of trying to support ISIS, walked into the classroom and asked if it was an ROTC class, sources told The Post.

Wiki says that Warith's group is now "The Mosque Cares". It's got its own problems, because Warith was a polygamist (shari'a-compliant!!) so a number of half-brothers now could claim it.

After action reports derived. Spree killers rack up kills if not confronted (even unsuccessfully). The old training standard was designed for hostage situations but not killers that did not care to live or actively wanted suicide by cop.
Same as how 9/11 happened. People had it ingrained that the plane hijackers were interested in whatever else other than killing all of the passengers and crew and that playing it cool will let the hostages live another day.
Spree killers just want to hurt and kill people, there is no demand that one can satisfy from killers except by letting them kill you. Which is an unsatisfactory situation.

For too many of GOP politicians, they were educated by left of center teachers up to and including college, they despise their unwoke constituents somehow thinking that their credentials make them better than their voters, and too often their pursuit of generational wealth for them and theirs outweigh honest representation to their voters. Our ruling class is leftist and even those that have tendencies on the right often fall prey to wanting money, power, and acceptance from donors, not voters.

TERRORIST SHOOTS UP OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY
UPDATE: Confirmed, the Terrorist Is an ISIS Member Released from Prison by... Joe Biden
Have you had enough Muslim Cultural Enrichment yet?
Sorry, I completely missed this. Sometimes my Twitter feed just fills up with stuff that I have previously shown an interest in, and does not alert me to new news.RedWave Press
@RedWavePress
BREAKING: A gunman is dead after opening fire in Constant Hall on the Old Dominion University campus Thursday morning in Norfolk, Virginia. Two people were injured and taken to a local hospital. WAVY10: "ODU sophomore Logan Hayes was in Constant Hall taking a test when the active shooter situation started. He said the fire alarm went off and he ran out of the building." "As soon as he got outside, Logan told WAVY, 'I heard about a multitude of gunshots go off and people just screaming.'"
Karol MarkowiczTweet here, with a link to the old DOJ report on Jalloh. Look, I'm done being polite. Supposedly most Muslims are "mostly peaceful." Fine. But the "mostly peaceful Muslims" do not bring nearly enough to the table to make up for the murders and mayhem committed by the less-than-mostly peaceful ones. I will not live in a society where I can be murdered at any moment by a seventh century cult fanatic just to prove how #Woke I am and how tolerant I can be of my own oppressors. If anyone wants to disprove this, please run the numbers on the incredible economic and cultural benefits we receive from Muslim invaders that outweigh the fact that we have had to entirely reconfigure our lives in order to accommodate them and mitigate their propensity to mass murder. Update to previous Muslim terrorism story:
@karol News: I'm reliably informed that the alleged attacker of Old Dominion in is Mohamed Jalloh, the same Jalloh who was previously convicted of providing support to ISIL.
thanks to weft-cut loop. UPDATE: I don't know what the circumstances of Mohammed Jalloh's release were. But he was released during Biden's term. He was a naturalized citizen. He should have been denaturalized and deported, but wasn't.

There are a lot of people who learned otherwise, first hand. We haven’t been fighting a war against “terror” since 9-11. That’s a whitewash campaign in which I refuse to participate. We have been fighting a war against islam. Period. The fundamental tenets of that cult implore their “faithful” to convert adherents by any means possible, and murder or subjugate those who don’t. Most of the muslim world was converted by force and through centuries of coercion have remained members of the cult. The modus operandi is always the same because it originates from the same place.
Some people are simply “peaceful” by their nature no matter what religion they follow. That isn’t a reflection of their “religion” it’s a result of their temperament. Islam is in direct contradiction of our Constitution, Bill of Rights and ultimately our laws because it is not based on freedom or liberty. It is driven by forces antithetical to them.

I am sure there are some. Maybe. To your face if you work or talk with them.
I saw a verbal fight by MD's the day after 9/11, with one MD from Israel & the other from Paki.
There is no reform with islam. None. Taqiyya is taught to cover themselves with. Reform is needed but will never occur. Why? Because anyone who would attempt to reform the religion would be killed, probably with family and friends.
I promise you this: if you are between them and freedom they will kill you because the Koran loves killing of infidels. You are infidel, as you know.
If they want to keep their peaceful religion they should return to where they came from.
This country was built by Christians and Jews, not moose limbs, Somolians, or any of the terrorists who attack to kill and martyr. Yes, there is freedom of religion...but also the assumption of assimilation of the USA, values & freedom.
No sympathy since 9/11. None to be found. My husband's cousin was killed in the first WTC tower that collapsed that day. At least 4 cousins were missing for days due to poor communication.
Because in his huge family of 50 cousins many are generational NYPD or NYFD.

Agreed Ace. I've known many peaceful Muslims myself but the question I ask myself is this. As I'm kneeling in Church praying, IF the news every other day was about gangs of Christians shooting up or blowing up people in the name of Christ I would start asking myself some serious questions about my faith and what was being done in its name. And I don't see these "peaceful" Muslims doing the same as they do their prayer 5 times a day. And if they don't reflect on this being done in their religion's name then the term "peaceful" loses its meaning. In my mind.

I got the alert and just swiped it away. Felt nothing. It's so sad and fucking infuriating that it's just so common and NOTHING is being done differently by anyone in leadership who could make a difference.
Given that the people shot were ROTC cadets, it isn't a huge leap to theorize they were targeting government/military rather than just random students.
I’m so fucking tired of all the pro gun people arguing about gun freedom. None of them are ever around to save the day when someone else or someone else’s kid decides to shoot up a school. They’re just being selfish at this point.
Either stop throwing money at our corrupt ass president to do with as he pleases and at least vote to fund bullet proofing the schools prison style, or accept the guns need to fucking go.

In part, "Nineteen people have been jailed over an attack at a concert hall near Moscow that killed 149 people and left more than 500 injured - the deadliest mass shooting in Russia in two decades.
A Russian military court handed life sentences to four gunmen and 11 accomplices. Four other defendants were given between 19 and 22 years, state media reported.
The attack at Crocus City Concert Hall on the outskirts of Russia's capital on 22 March 2024 began with gunmen shooting before setting fire to the venue.
An Islamic State (IS) group affiliate admitted it had carried out the attack and posted video evidence. Moscow has repeatedly accused Ukraine of involvement - an allegation strenuously denied by Kyiv."

The time for that was ... 25 years ago. Right after 9-11.
But instead of learning a very bloody and painful lesson, we doubled down ... on Muslim immigration. We opened up floodgates to every smelly Muslim peasant, terrorist, rapist, scumbag, criminal, and goatfucker in the world.
They invaded and infiltrated our land, our cities, and our governments at the federal, state, and local level. And no, it's not just blue states. While some people seem to have NYC and its mayor living rent-free in their heads, the Muslim problem extends to all states and all cities. No exceptions.

Well, you can take a shot at it, and if killing a few reverts does not deter the remainder of would-be reverts, then deport the whole damned lot of them.
I am fairly certain there are plenty of "practicing muslims" who only are such because they are scared shitless of being murdered if they become apostates. Deport the True believers and radicals, and that greatly reduces the risk to those who want to leave the cult. There is a sort of a critical mass dynamic at work here.

Greta Thunberg attacks the U.S. over Cuba; stays silent on Iranian regime massacring tens of thousands of protesters.
“We need to talk about what’s happening in Cuba right now as the Trump Administration is waging illegitimate wars across the world, killing countless people.”

The time for that was ... 25 years ago. Right after 9-11.
But instead of learning a very bloody and painful lesson, we doubled down ... on Muslim immigration. We opened up floodgates to every smelly Muslim peasant, terrorist, rapist, scumbag, criminal, and goatfucker in the world.
They invaded and infiltrated our land, our cities, and our governments at the federal, state, and local level. And no, it's not just blue states. While some people seem to have NYC and its mayor living rent-free in their heads, the Muslim problem extends to all states and all cities. No exceptions.

It burns to this day that Dubya took 911 as the opportunity to declare Islam as the religion of peace. Interestingly not one Muslim cleric in the whole fucking world did.
Trying to be fucking nice is going to be the death of us.

I'm not prejudiced, I'm a realist. In their book, which they are sworn and devout to, call for the infidel - that's you and I - to either be enslaved or killed. Point of fact. Both of those things are culturally unacceptable and illegal in the United States.

Like kicking a fireant nest. They swarm then die.
It had to be done in Iran. No one can ever convince me otherwise after 47yrs of our entire marriage with "death to America" just hanging there and waiting.
CNN's little show today? I think, of a black burka freak was the go sign. I did not look and unsure if it was speaking Farsi or jibber jabber or English. I give them none of my time.
Going to clear out something upstairs again because I have too many clothes in three closets. I am no Marie Condo, holding something in my hand to see if it sparks joy. I hold something for a split second and fling it towards a plastic garbage bag for charity. It is a violent spark of joy to have more room for new clothes.
Which I realize is not the point if I had a "capsule" wardrobe like the French. Piper or any 'ette would know this. I now hate the word "capsule" along with these: hue, extrude, and others I can't think of in roid brain. Just the way people say it regarding wardrobes vs a pill to swallow. Sometimes my husband will say hue to annoy me on purpose.
I realize I get irritated at odd moments even when normal.

I've got a 1911a that is hanging on my wall. It was manufactured by Colt in 1918. My grandfather used it to shoot an *actual* Nazi (not the made-up-in-the-heads-of-fucking-lunatic-democrats-birm) in the chest from 10 feet away while he was fighting in Italy in 1944.
That firearm has 7 round "clips" - which isn't a real term. The real term is "magazine".
That was a *sidearm*. Because his other weapon was a Browning .50cal that was, of course, fully automatic with *boxes* of ammunition.

🚨 SNAP Shock: Far many more millions in Food Aid Spent on 🦀 King Crab, 🦞 Lobster & 🥩 Steaks than the Department of War 🇺🇸
From an official government research study of $6.58 billion dollars in SNAP expenditures, $1.9 million dollars were spent on king crab, $2.2 million dollars were spent on lobster and $28.4 million on select beef loins.
Federal SNAP spending in 2024 was $99.8 billion. Scaled up, that means SNAP recipients spent $28.8 million dollars on king crab, $33.36 million dollars on lobster, and $430.75 million on steaks."

In the US, we have Freedom of Religion. Ergo, by defining themselves as Moslem, they are choosing their beliefs... they are not forced by US.
The choose to believe in a religion where they are ordered to kill infidels... to lie... to cheat... to invade... to enslave... to not give women equal rights...
It is, in the US, a choice. Race is not a choice, but culture through religion? here... is.

My town in the seacoast of NH had cannon that a local privateer captured from the British during the War of 1812. Was fired for ceremonies until two people were killed when they put their head in front of the business end of the cannon at a most inopportune time. Cannon was made inoperable after that.

I'm surprised he served that much time, especially through the Covid era. Were those state or federal charges originally? If federal, not sure how he slipped out of a federal facility and was still here...

How many deaths are we required to put up with, how many bombings, how many 5 a.m. prayers filling the air, before we can claim we are not racist?
Assimilate to us, or leave. And if you are convicted of anything terror related, you're out, with your entire family. Back home to your holy place.

Remember when you could buy your red letter tickets at the counter, drop off your bags and not have to show an ID to board the plane, much less go straight to your gate. All in the time to walk there. In those days girlfriends would run into the arms of their beloved just getting off the flight, families would hold signs and sing "happy birthday", you packed your bags without worrying about how much toothpaste, metal or liquid you had in them. Air travel had little more trouble to take than a city bus or a subway.
We got a terrible deal when we traded Hare Krishna's for Mohammedans.

You talkin' to me, Willis? I'm only on the lowest dose for a couple of days.
Here's the deal. In the mid '80's we had influenza and then I got mycoplasma and it damaged my lungs a bit said a pulmonologist I trusted. A I have huge lungs from swimming and remain unsure if that is a reason. I used to use inhalers if I got sick after this.
Three years ago with probable covid I had either a set of bad bagpipes or a hormonica in my upper bronchi when I tried to sleep. Inspiration and expiration. SUPER annoying. My first go with pred and wonky! I had to have it as the inhalers were not touching it...and the MD told me to never get to that point again.
An ARNP yesterday gave me a very low dose to take for a couple of days and then done. It is permanent damage from the '80's and I think I did really well to go 40yrs with never taking a roid til 3yrs ago. Now today, and can stop when I improve. Inflammation from the faucet of snot last weekend. Exposed to RSV by our 6mo old grandgirl, who was not as sick as her parents or me.
And, no, I don't like it as it makes me crazier.

It's the lowest dose possible for a few days, honey. I'll be ok.
In 2023 when I had a tiny drunk playing bad bagpipes with every breath I took, I would have inhaled Draino to stop it so I could sleep. It is not true wheezing, it is internal, heard with a stethoscope, which I did not bother to listen with. Crackles, death spiral, whatever you want to call it.
It was insane. I could not rest. It had no melody or rhythm. Sometimes it made cat-like mating sounds.High pitched then low tubas.
When you are sick you want to lie down and sleep. I decided this was a unique symptom and went to urgent care the next day, no matter that I had no fever and oxygen sats were normal. Crackles on expiration are not as serious. Both, no good!
No, I don't want a moon-face and am thankful I don't have to take this daily.

Terrorist Rams Car Through Synagogue Gate, Starts Shooting the Congregation
Must have been a straight white conservative male. That's my bet.
The shooter is now dead and they're still hiding his name which casts a slight amount of doubt on my guess that he's a straight white conservative male.A gunman was shot and killed Thursday afternoon after ramming a truck into a West Bloomfield Synagogue, according to the Associated Press. The incident happened at the Temple Israel, 5725 Walnut Lake Road, where smoke was seen billowing from the roof. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Temple security fired shots at at least one person after the crash. There were no other injuries in the shooting. Police are also looking into whether anyone else was involved in the incident and asked those within one mile of the synagogue to shelter in place. All children who were removed from the school will be placed at the Jewish Community Center for reunification with their parents. The Jewish Federation of Detroit ordered all Jewish organizations to go into lockout protocol.

A man walked into a bookstore and asked the clerk "Do you have Trump's new book about deporting the illegal aliens?" She yelled at me "Get the hell out and don't come back!"
I replied "That's the one. Do you have it in paperback?"

Burning cars emit a vast amount of black smoke. Oil, fuel, tires, upholstery, plastic body parts...all black smoke.
The roof vent seems, in the video, to be issuing steam which rapidly dissipates. Maybe the fire already been extinguished, and the steam is from water on the hot metal?

The smoke is coming from a place very far inside the building. I wonder if the car made it that far, or if the smoke just carried a long way inside.
It's not clear from the reports if Temple security made the assailant into kosher Swiss cheese, or the police did it.
Maybe places like that should install bollards.

Sgt. Zim and his captain discussed this phenomenon in Starship Troopers. The captain gets onto Sgt. Zim because Sgt. Zim let a recruit nail him in a field exercise with a punch.
Captain warns Sgt. Zim that other recruits are likely to try to punch him as a result of Sgt. Zim's hesitation to nail the recruit. And he excoriates Zim for thinking that particular recruit was one of the 'safe' ones making his responses slower as a result.
Thus, killing a terrorist who is unable to do much of anything than cause a bit of damage is likely to discourage others from even trying. Successful hits, on the other hand, encourages every POS with a grudge to go out in a blaze of glory. That applies to school shootings, it applies to terrorism.
The POS's punches must not land and that means eternal vigilance on behalf of the guardians.

It does if they are part of the incumbent cheat in the Senate...and we know Mitch probably is.
No one bribing the Senators wants to see change in those seats...continuity means you get what you want.
So, whether Senate Rs also benefit from the cheat or are just paid to support the cheat...well, they are making out with it...

I witnessed such an event maybe 40 years ago. Old guy, 80-something, drove his car right into the brick wall of a shopping center. I heard the engine rev up, the car surged head, and the stop lamps never came on. Luckily, he started from a position only a couple of yards away from the wall, so little damage, aside from a tweaked bumper. He insisted he was stomping on the brake for all he was worth. Nope, it was the accelerator. Myself, and other bystanders checked out the car, Brakes were in good working order, as were the stop lamps, and throttle linkage was not jammed in any way. The car was a 1961 Studebaker Cruiser.

There is a bomb with a lit fuse waiting to go off and it relates to Chicom interference in US elections, demonstrated cheating in GA and AZ if not more elections, etc. Then you have the massive election interference cases involving the Russia Russia cases going forward in Florida. We shall see if that moves the US Senate and the American people.
And the grand juries are not in DC but in AZ, GA, FL. So we shall see fairly soon whether indictments start being issued like the subpoenas and warrants already issued to collect evidence.

Dr Oz: Up to 25% of Obamacare Enrollment Might Be Pure Democrat/Foreign Piracy
Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), claimed in an interview published Monday that millions of people could potentially be falsely enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans. In January, early ACA enrollment figures indicated a drop following four consecutive years of record growth, going from 23.6 million enrollees to 22.8 million from the same time last year. Signs-ups were expected to fall after Republicans let enhanced premium tax subsidies expire at the end of 2025. In an interview NBC News, Oz said some people on ACA plans should not be enrolled and expects the rate of enrollment will continue to fall to somewhere around 19 million. "In fact, the fact that we have 23 million makes me think we have too many participants in the ACA," Oz told the outlet. "It's too high of a number." Oz said he believes some signs-ups are the result of fraud or mistakes.Mehmet Oz is both a medical doctor and the adminstrator for Medicaid and Medicare but he's not an "expert." Only Democrat party flacks are "experts." There are two kinds of people in the world, "experts" and Republicans.
"Either their income would not qualify them, they made too much or made too little, or they didn't file the forms, maybe on purpose, or they were duplicately enrolled in Medicaid or more likely other states' ACAs," he added. "These are major concerns for us." Experts who spoke with NBC News said that while fraud is certainly present in the ACA Marketplace, numbers given out by the administration are likely overstated.

There are at least three kinds of fraud in government-run health care. Oz appears to be talking about fake enrollees, not non-performed procedures or inflated charges.
So, yeah. If 25% of enrollees are fraudulent, the total fraud has to be north of 50%.

Whatever. All this tells me is that Democrats aren't going to allow any help on the SAVE Act. No votes that don't matter to offer up as "bipartisan" on the winning side of a winning bill that was going to pass anyway.
It's a bad sign for the SAVE Act, but Fetterman reports to Schumer, not Thune.
Still, Fetterman voted against the OBBB and it still passed.
Fetterman is a fucking snake, and the fact that he's going to get blown out in his primary entertains me.

"National Health Care Fraud Takedown Results in 324 Defendants Charged in Connection with Over $14.6 Billion in Alleged Fraud"
Excerpt:
Transnational Criminal Organizations
29 defendants were charged for their roles in transnational criminal organizations alleged to have submitted over $12 billion in fraudulent claims to America’s health insurance programs.
For instance, a nationwide investigation known as Operation Gold Rush resulted in the largest loss amount ever charged in a health care fraud case brought by the Department. These charges were announced in the Eastern District of New York, the Northern District of Illinois, the Central District of California, the Middle District of Florida, and the District of New Jersey against 19 defendants. Twelve of these defendants have been arrested, including four defendants who were apprehended in Estonia as a result of international cooperation with Estonian law enforcement and seven defendants who were arrested at U.S. airports and the U.S. border with Mexico, cutting off their intended escape routes as they attempted to avoid capture."

I occasionally listen to a little sports talk radio when nothing else interesting is on (and only because my cousin was drafted last year in the NFL).
Heard a couple days ago that Luka Dončić (of the L.A. Lakers) was fined $50,000 for making the "money sign" gesture to the referees after he got called for a foul.
I assumed they meant the middle finger, but looked it up and it's the rubbing together of the thumbs and third (and/or second) fingers.
Saw a video of it, and he was basically implying that the referees were on the take with sports gambling.
They've destroyed both college and professional sports now with that shit ...

But the ethos of the ACA, as sold to the public, was to get profit out of insurance.
So, no insurance company working on the ACA platform should have a profit. All enrollees who pay into the system and don't take anything out should be free.

Yes. Definitely inflated and includes write-offs for every piece of shit carried on the books, including shit having nothing to do with EV.

Not using insurance is a GOOD thing. You want more people getting sick and using it?
I hate it when people say stuff like I pay all this money into insurance and never get anything out of it. Hmm so you want to get cancer and have $1M bill so that you get something back from your insurance? Or you want your house to burn down? Or you want to get into a car crash and be sued for $1M?
Because that’s how you “make back your money” with insurance.
I personally want to never collect a dime if I can from any insurance I have. Because that’s means no bad shit has happened to me. And that’s a good thing.

Trump could fix that tomorrow, by nuking the Chicken Tax tariff, which was implemented by LBJ via Executive Order. Get rid of that and we could import Toyota Hilux trucks without having to do it in kit form, or as passenger vehicles before ripping out the seats.
The Chicken Tax is why we no longer have small pickup trucks, longbed pickups and why most new trucks sold in the US has four doors.

Confirmed: Begun, the Drone Wars Have
As I guessed, the new phase of the war is anti-personnel strikes on street enforcers and IRGC goons not with 1,000 pound bombs but with hand-grenade-sized charges delivered by drones.
David Strom reports on the Israeli drones now blowing up Basij (volunteer morality police/skull-crackers) checkpoints.
Des drones de type munitions rôdeuses semblent désormais opérer au-dessus de Téhéran.
— Guy (@McRogueD) March 11, 2026
Plus de 10 checkpoints ainsi que plusieurs véhicules militaires mobiles du CGRI (IRGC) dans différentes zones de la ville auraient été ciblés et détruits par des frappes de drones. (@etelaf10)… pic.twitter.com/g0sBMZgIW7
Loitering munition-type drones now appear to be operating over Tehran. More than 10 checkpoints, as well as several mobile IRGC (IRGC) military vehicles in different areas of the city, are said to have been targeted and destroyed by drone strikes. (@etelaf10) This type of weapon can patrol for a long time over an area, wait for targets to appear, and then strike. This is all the easier when enemy air defense systems are degraded or neutralized. This could facilitate the emergence of a broader national uprising, by weakening the regime's control at the street level.In addition to just killing Basij and IRGC troops, these hunter-killers will also force Iranian street troops to break up into smaller groups, in order to make themselves less conspicuous and attractive targets. But moving in smaller groups will open them up to attacks by lightly-armed counter-revolutionary irregulars, who hopefully will enter the fight by the end of the month. I sure hope someone's smuggling in small arms, radios, and grenades to the locals.
IRGC-affiliated Fars News confirms Israeli drones targeted checkpoints across Tehran on Wednesday evening, saying that several security personnel and Basij members were killed. https://t.co/4dm7jmgGFz

The Red Bull Series has been going in Australia / New Zealand. That's been mostly Downhill stuff. The Enduro series is really different and cool: Riders have to ride out to the start of each individual section of the circuit. Then, they have to bomb the downhill sections, unseen/blind. Then, ride to the start the next section. Repeat that 4-6x for the day.
Very cool and very technical racing. Blind running those courses is a whole different beast than sessioning the Downhill track for 2-3 days prior to your runs.

Estimates of Basij membership in Iran range from 300,000 to one million members, with various types of membership including regular, active, and special members. The organization is particularly popular among less wealthy segments of the population, offering economic and social incentives.

The capabilities are huge in these platforms. Something like the Switchblade is designed for closer-in, um, outreach, but can be networked and coordinated for very effective results.
As for piloting, some of that is a trade secret but I can allow that some don't necessarily require an operator in all circumstances. There is always a human in the loop though.

Being basically an armed rabble, they have no discipline and no training. Like all thugs they are bold when they think they’re safe, but a few drone attacks will make most of them run and hide.
I see the drone attacks as having an even greater psychological pressure than a physical one. When the ones who are used to imposing fear instead feel true fear, they break.

There's the obvious reason for the prices going up now, but not to be overlooked is the usual seasonal shutdowns of some refineries to switch over to seasonal "summer blends"
This has the effect of choking supply and raising prices every single year other than the covid year, so there's that.

My brother had a story from his Sunday-school days. Vietnam was going on, and they were talking about it in the class. His Sunday-school teacher, a prominent local attorney (and therefore no dummy) was wondering how the Viet Cong trained their gorillas for warfare.

This is a drastic improvement from the whole “THERE WILL BE NO CEASEFIRE!” statements from a couple days ago.
They know Trump wants to pull out of this mess. He's desperate to claim that he stopped a war he himself started, and ask some prize.
The Iranian Head of the National Security Council, Ali Larijani:
“Tonight we received messages from the U.S. president, through the Omani mediator, requesting that we negotiate a ceasefire. Our response is that we will not accept any negotiations as long as an entity called Israel exists.”
Iran just emphatically denied this report, and is saying it wants to continue fighting and has no interest in a ceasefire. I don’t think it makes much sense for Iran to bother asking for a ceasefire when they pretty clearly control the straight of Hormuz.

1. They clearly don't. Otherwise there would be no traffic through, and the hits on ships would be happening in the strait itself not a couple of hundred miles away in the Persian Gulf.
2. It's obvious that the command structure of Iran is in complete disarray. They've been sending out oppositional messaging for days now. Hopefully, they're turning on each other more than rhetorically.

There is always something to read or a digital clock. Look away. Then look back at it. It will change. If you are dreaming it will ALWAYS change. That's how you know.

Most all of them do. Control signals can't always be counted on in a battlefield environment so there is a lot of effort on the logic used if the command link is interrupted. Problem from the defender side is that while it's (relatively) simple to jam (there are realistically just six frequencies in the RF band being used) you can't predict the autonomous behavior. More effective to just destroy the drone.

Posted by: Archimedes at March 12, 2026 12:51 PM (Riz8t)
If the Israelis are operating relatively small drones and loitering drones over Tehran, due to propulsion range limitations it seems to me those drones have to ground-launched from within Iran, or air-dropped somehow. I hope we find out about some of the tech and tactics in use, when this is over.

I was not one of the lucky ones (like my husband, the pale blonde Viking, whose hair is white blonde now). Otherwise I don't look my age, so women I barely know tell me.

Iran isn't the only nation rooting for America to tear itself apart from the inside, but it is a major player.
I do wonder what the anti-American space in America will end up looking like after the last vestiges of Iran's foreign psyop influences die out.
We'll still get Chinese and Russian versions, but Iran's billions towards that? Gone? Including the focus on Israel and Palestine?

As you use weapons, and those weapons , you learn. You adapt.
The art of to anticipate and adapt ahead of the OPFOR. We are very good at this part.
The Chinese have not seen their weapons tested- until now. The next gen will be the real test.
And their weapons didn’t completely fail. They failed against hardened military targets.

There is little sign, however, that any of this is leading towards a general collapse of the regime’s ability to govern. The regime, so far at least, appears to be maintaining the crucial loyalty of its own security personnel, and of the 20 per cent or so of the population that is generally reckoned to support it.
===
If the population does not respond to Trump's call to revolt, and starts taking out the mullah's thugs, it's likely the regime survives though in very weak form. It'll fall, but that might take some time.

I wonder if these are the under $2k drones like Ukraine has been using effectively. Of course they have to be within ? a couple miles to operate theirs. Plus Ukraine's operators had to be on the move, since Russkie artillery would zone in on their signal and direct fire at them.
Posted by: illiniwek at March 12, 2026 12:49 PM (vbXSk)
The low cost drones were usually used for low level action - for infantry to scout the near area, perhaps drop a grenade on a strong point. More serious systems with more complex missions are more expensive.

The Morning Rant: What Is Winning In Iran?
- Destroy or severely degrade Iran's missile forces, military infrastructure, and command systems that threaten American forces and regional allies, while also preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
- Deter further attacks against the United States and partners such as Israel and the Gulf states, and to reduce Iran's ability to project military power in the region.
- These objectives are meant to remain limited and that the United States is not officially pursuing regime change in Iran.
That is a massive shift from just a few years ago, and it is a welcome one. The blood of American servicemen is too valuable to waste on arrogant notions of creating a new world order based on Western principles that are alien to the majority of the world. The focus of this war is the defense of our long-term safety and security, and it is glaringly obvious that Iran as currently constructed is a huge impediment to that, and in fact threatens the entire world! So...to answer the question: Winning in Iran means degrading their war-making capacity down to nothing, so they cannot threaten their neighbors and world commerce. It means destroying their nuclear program so that rebuilding it would take many, many years. And we are approaching that success. Will it take another week or another month? Who knows? And on the way to those achievable goals we are degrading the internal security apparatus of the Mullahs in such a way that the people of Iran have a better chance of overthrowing them and rebuilding their government...but in their own image! No externally imposed government that is doomed to failure. And most of all, no boots on the ground to enforce our image of what Iran should be. That is up to the people of Iran, and I wish them the best of luck! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!

The person, other than the mullahs, most likely to be most successful in running Iran, at least in the short term, is Reza Pahlavi. He has a lot of support both inside and outside the country so he can be a unifying figure to give the people a chance to breathe and decide how they want to move forward.
We should not insist on him and we should not expend much in the way of resources to support him but he's probably the best shot there is.

So far, Reza Pahlavi has been pretty pitch perfect. He says he will be a transitional figure until elections can be held. After that, who knows? The Communist Party will be a strong contender, but hopefully the experience of the last 47 years has taught the populace not to put their faith in absolutists.

He's friendly to the US, having spent most of his life living here. He's not antagonistic towards Jews, as his middle daughter married one.
He cannot hold the country as monarch without either support from within or foreigners.

There was almost definitely an investigation launched immediately after the theft was discovered. We wouldn't comment while an investigation was ongoing.

That is itself very questionable. Why is it so hard to say that "It worked that time, but we don't know why it did?" We're in the position of the Indians who were using chinchona bark, or the sea captains who understood that fresh fruits and vegetables warded off scurvy, long before the medical experts admitted it was possible.
Really, it's worse than that. They at least had many cases of it working; we don't. Maybe it was German and Japanese fear of Communism. Who knows?

To be fair, they are putting their lives on the line.
Iran doesn't care who they hurt now.
But, everyone but Iran now has the incentive to get Iran to stop fucking around. The US is hammering everything with a pier on the Iranian side of the strait.
And, success breeds more success.
Also...shale is really profitable at oil prices right now. That'll keep oil prices from spiking. Us importing less than 10% of our oil imports from the Middle East as a whole (the rest comes from places like Canada) will limit its affects on us. China is suddenly going to be trying to edge into oil contracts that they don't have a foothold in instead.

We desperately need to, otherwise there will be more exploding boat attacks such as the two seen yesterday. Iran still has a great deal of harassment capability left on the straits, and the only way to eliminate that will be to eliminatev ALL docks and port facilities in the area, no matter how small.
Also, although we say “no boots on the ground” as a mantra, there are four small islands in the Straits that the US needs to occupy, in order to truly control the shipping lanes. As long as Iran controls them they will be attack platforms against us.

I mean it took a violent muslim revolution to seize power from the previously-"free" Persian people in 1979.
I think it's hardly fair to say the average Iranian never wanted freedom. It might be fair to say they're not willing enough to fight the barbarian muzzies over it, though.

Well, even you put "free" in scare quotes. I've been hearing how "free" the Iranians were before 1979 since I was little kid. "Oh, here are some pics of Persian ladies on a beach in 1975 without burkas!" Whatever.
The pre-revolution government was a repressive monarchy. Was it better than what took over? Sure. But Iranians were never free as we understand that term, did barely anything in 50 years to take their country back, and as soon as we topple the mullahs some other asshole will roll in to oppress them. Lather, rinse, repeat.

If that is accomplished by a monarchy that does not really interfere in the daily lives of it's people but just seeks to provide them opportunity... is that wrong.
Most historical cases of tyranny by anyone is when that government- no matter what form it took- could not leave it's people alone and sought to either make them into something else, looted them for it's own enrichment or used them as fodder for the acquisition of new wealth.
The problem with Monarchy is that it runs into the power concentration problem of all government. You might have the right guy right now (say Trump or the Shah) but someone WILL come in who is most emphatically NOT the right guy and use that power for his own selfish ends.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

people don't live in New York city because of the fucking tax rate. They live in New York city because they want to be around the culture. If they want to move a soulless wasteland like Tampa or Dallas they can go right ahead.
We need a wealth tax (at least on the very wealthy) on a national level so people can’t just move to another state to avoid it. To get out of federal taxes, you have to renounce your U.S. citizenship.
The wealthy act like they don’t have other ways to make the money back. Stop hoarding money. Improve the lives of others and I guarantee you’ll make even more money. Maybe even a faster return.
Massachusetts voters approved a four percent surtax on annual incomes above $1 million in 2022, heard the same scare tactics of wealth flight, and it didn't happen.
Maybe millionaires and billionaires are the reason why everything costs way too much in NY. And taxes could be 0% in Kansas. I don’t give a fuck. I’m not living in Kansas even if they pay me

Truth. For a century US bound Venezuelan oil was exclusively refined for America in the Lyondale refinery in Houston.

That new India financed refinery being initiated in Brownsville will end up with most of it within three years.

I think our involvement in Venezuela had a side purpose in reclaiming the assets needed to exploit the oil there. If it can be leveraged, and the product refined and sold here as gas, diesel, etc. we really wouldn't give a shit about the Persian Gulf.

Post WWII, the highest marginal tax rate was 90%.

The tax rate was about 50% of that fall (the other 40% was the Paramount decrees and then TV, but TV would have ended it in time anyway on its own, probably).

Thanks for that historical knowledge of which I was unaware, Beverly (or may have learned at one point and since forgotten).
[Per Brave "AI" Search, 1 of 2:]
The FP-45 Liberator, often referred to as the "Liberty Pistol," was a single-shot .45 ACP pistol developed by the U.S. military during World War II for potential airdrop to resistance fighters in occupied territories. Despite being mass-produced—one million units in just 11 weeks—large-scale airdrops did not occur as originally planned.
Posted by: ShainS at March 12, 2026 11:54 AM (xIFh6)
European Theater: General Dwight D. Eisenhower rejected the idea of mass airdrops over Europe, deeming it impractical use of limited air resources. Only fewer than 25,000 Liberator pistols were authorized for distribution to the French Resistance, and there is no definitive evidence of large-scale airdrops. Some sources suggest limited drops in Greece in 1944, but numbers remain unconfirmed.
Pacific Theater: General Douglas MacArthur was more receptive. Approximately 50,000 Liberator pistols were sent to the Pacific, with reports of distribution to guerrilla forces in the Philippines, China, and the Solomon Islands. Some use by resistance groups in these areas is plausible, though documented operational use remains scarce.
Post-War Fate: Most of the remaining Liberators—over 450,000—were destroyed after the war. Records indicate they were melted down or dumped into the Irish Sea, with only a few surviving today as rare collector’s items.

Up until the Kennedy era. Reagan killed off what remained.
There were all sorts of deductions. Those are gone, too. Nobody actually paid those rates.
One of my favorite tales was a college professor who was nicknamed “Rocket Man”. He bought a surplus military rocket at auction. In those days, one could deduct the original purchase price of the item, which was considerable.
The initial tax rates were about 2%, starting on incomes over $500,000 in today’s confetti-bucks. “Stick it to the Rich!” sounded good, that’s why the 16th was ratified by the states.
But it only ever falls on the working people. Leftists are profoundly stupid, or wicked. Take your pick. Both may apply I guess.

I think both Venezuela and Iran are pieces of that same puzzle. If you remember after the war in Iraq, Trump was adamant that we should have taken the oil. In Trump hyperbolic speak I think that equates to making a deal much like we are seeing in Venezuela.
Energy fuels the world. It's the only reason the mullahs held the power position they did. It was the reason the mullahs took control of Iran in the first place. China wasn't pushing their tentacles into Venezuela because of the hot women although I wouldn't blame them for that. It was because they needed the oil.
We don't need Iran's oil. We have enough for our own needs. What we need is for whomever takes over Iran to not use oil as a means to evil ends.

The increase in oil prices (from about $75 a couple of weeks ago to $95 today) doesn't justify the increase in gas prices.
Because gas prices have other inputs, and lot of that is psychological and also deal with local competition.

Miami is its own thing and Atlanta is something else entirely just due to the, er, ethnic makeup of the Atlanta clientele.

I think this is part and parcel of the long march through the institutions to destroy Enlightenment-era rationalism and empiricism, and the philosophical underpinnings of Western civilization such as the existence and discoverability of objective truth. Lysenko wasn't an accident. The climate change and transgenderism cults aren't an accident. These can't exist without the degeneration and ultimate destruction of scientific inquiry and scientific method, and objective fact. There are no facts, not ascertainable truth, just narrative.

Reports say the armored corps base in Ahvaz, Iran has been destroyed.
This base is where Iran’s tanks and armored units are stationed and coordinated in the southwest of the country.
If confirmed, it would be a serious blow to Iran’s ground forces and military infrastructure.
Well it certainly LOOKS like a major strike.

During the Tanker War, they launched their speedboats from those islands to harass commercial ships.
They tried somewhat of a swarm tactic with those stupid, under-equipped speed boats, but with little effect.
Flying in support of our escorts, we were easily able to pick out their boats with ISAR radar along with FLIR and notify the escort ships of those boats who were on a threat vector inbound.
Swarming could be a problem today with their better-equipped boats, however, depending upon how many are sent out to form the swarm and what defensive assets we have on-station at the time to counter them.

Gas jumped about $0.60 per gallon here with diesel and ethanol free going must higher. I figure it will settle once the Iran situation is resolved. Gas goes bonkers anytime someone farts near the Hormel Straits or whatever anyway, let alone the recent ass-kicking given to Iran. I'd also like to blame futures traders and commodity speculators because I think they're basically parasitic degenerate gamblers in suits with Wall Street and hedge fund connections but have no data to back that up.

Costco has a block of English Cheddar, it's a bit crumbly so might not be suitable for bakery (I have no idea). The local grocery store has an orange Wisconsin cheddar that doesn't cost as much, not crumbly and melts easier. But there is no comparison, they are completely different cheeses. I buy the large block thinking I'll never be able to eat it all (my wife doesn't like dairy), but I manage. I eat it for the occasional snack, since I swore off potato chips and Doritos.

Coscto cheese is dangerous because they have giant wedges all the way up to a full round, and I like cheese, good quality cheese, and I can very easily convince my self it is actually super healthy to eat more cheese. Last visit I bought a quarter round and have been enjoying it for weeks. But I honestly don't know if I could stop at a quarter and may some day walk out with a full wagon wheel of cheese under my arms.

They're not.
Ships have been getting through for days. There's still resistance because of some one off attacks Iran has managed (also insurance rates and needing to overpay crews to do it), but the US and Israel have full air superiority over the strait and are pounding anything larger than a dinghy near the Iranian shore whenever they find it. Also, the strait is 25 miles wide at its narrowest point, and Iran can't project power over that without real ships.

How many surface to ship missiles does Iran have? How are they launched? Probably not by small rigs. The US military probably made them an early priority, assuming Iran had a whole lot of them at all.

The Strait is 25 miles across. I don't believe that the navigable portion is. The traffic separation area is about 6 miles across, so figure a total of 15 miles from the Iranian shore. That's pretty narrow by naval combat standards.

Salt-rising bread is a traditional, dense white bread originating in the Appalachian Mountains, leavened by wild bacteria—primarily Clostridium perfringens — rather than yeast. Despite its name, it contains very little salt and is not salty in taste; the name likely comes from early settlers burying the starter in heated salt to maintain warmth.

I'm trying to argue that Iran's ability to wage war is so degraded that they're suicide bombing in the Persian Gulf and have no ability to project power in the Strait anymore.
They don't have the missiles. They may be trying with drones. They can't try with mines since they don't have the ships to do it anymore.

I would think we could implement a convoy system with ten tankers transiting together while A10 and/or rotatory wing assets hug the them on the Iranian side.
That would certainly prevent surface drone craft and small boats from attacking.

Eugene Higgins (1874-195
Another okay painting that I would likely pass hanging but, being unfamiliar with the artist, an interesting lesson. Thanks.
>The Cooley Gallery, Eugene Higgins, Biography
It begins, "Eugene Higgins, a painter and etcher, represented with sentimentality the impact of the homeless, depressed and less fortunate people of society. His passionate sympathy for the poor led him to generalize situation and location, painting archetypal situations rather than observed ones."
"In 1904, he returned to America, spending a year in St. Louis and then settling in New York City. In the early 1920s, he married Anita Rio, and for the remainder of his life, kept a studio on West 22nd Street. Anita and Eugene spent most of their summers at Old Lyme, Connecticut."
"During the Depression era Higgins created murals including for post offices in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania..."

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) warned civilians in Iran to stay away from ports along the Strait of Hormuz, stating that Iranian forces were using commercial facilities for military operations, which could make those areas legitimate targets under international law.
I'm guessing we're going to destroy any and all land-based threats along the Strait.
[My understanding is that Iran can't mine the Strait because the ChiComms are still depending on and want to get their oil through there.]

The Morning Report — 3/12/26
With so much AI material circulating nowadays, it was easy to assume that the photos were fake, but they apparently were real. Only Mojtaba Khamenei, the new head of Iran’s Islamic regime, was slightly less than real. Photos began circulating Tuesday of Iranians straight-facedly presenting a large cardboard cutout of Mojtaba at a ceremony celebrating his appointed as the country’s supreme leader. . . problem: how could they have a ceremony to celebrate Mojtaba Khamenei becoming the new supreme leader if Mojtaba himself, despite being “safe and sound,” had been injured so severely that he was unable to attend?The solution to this problem that the Islamic Republic’s best minds hit upon owed more to Monty Python than to the subtle principles of high-level statecraft. The ceremony went on as planned, but Mojtaba Khamenei wasn’t there; in his stead, Iranians displayed a large cardboard cutout of a man, with a photo of a glum-looking Mojtaba’s face at the top. . . That doesn’t mean, however, that it is a nonexistent regime, or that it cannot survive through this period of crisis. American actions always take place within the election cycle, and that cycle wields immense influence over them. Adding to the unpredictability of all that is Trump’s mercurial nature. Right now he is committed to striking Iran, but that’s no guarantee that he will continue to do so until the regime is no more. The Israelis, meanwhile, are more likely than ever to act without American approval, but still reluctant to antagonize their foremost friend in this world. Thus Cardboard Khamenei and his regime have a chance to remain in power for decades to come. All the need to do is survive the present crisis. They may not face a similar challenge, and the Iranian people may not have an opportunity to rid themselves of the regime that is as good as the one they have now, for many, many years.All too true. So you laugh, and then all things considered it's not really all that funny given the Shiite goal of world conquest via armageddon, which may once again blow up right in our faces. They hate us and have already spilled rivers of American blood for 47 years, and now they're cornered like rats in a cage. And so, anything can happen:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a threat alert in early March to California law enforcement detailing intelligence pointing to the potential of Iranian drone strikes launched against the West Coast of the United States. According to the memo, Iran was believed to be seeking to position an unidentified vessel off California’s coast with the intent of using it as a platform to launch suicide drones. The threat alert appears to be more of a situational awareness notice than a warning of an imminent Iranian attack.“We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the U.S. conducted strikes against Iran,” the FBI threat alert states, adding, “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”There are additional concerns that Iranian agents or proxies operating in Central and South America could coordinate with Mexican drug cartels to launch suicide drone attacks across the U.S. southern border, especially targeting American military bases in Texas and California.
Don't be shocked if one day you hear the Amish phrase "Allahu Akbar" right before a bomb explodes...and you're showered with Jello Salad or Shrapnel
We are at the point where The New York Times, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC and USA Today will downplay, obfuscate or even justify an ISIS terrorist attack in New York City simply because it was aimed at people they loathe. Never mind that we saw video all over social media Saturday showing one of the ISIS-radicalized suspects yelling “Allahu Akbar” as he tossed a bomb packed with shrapnel and “Mother of Satan” explosives into an anti-Islam protest near Gracie Mansion. Just because the bombs thrown into the crowd that afternoon fizzled out before exploding does not make the terrorist attack any less ominous. In the hometown of 9/11 heroes, the Times framed Saturday’s attack in a way deliberately designed to mislead the reader into thinking the offenders were anti-Islamic protesters and that Mayor Mamdani was their intended victim.And considering that an Iranian was sentenced for an attempted assassination of Donald Trump we still have this to contend with:
Attorney General Pam Bondi has moved to a military base in Washington, D.C., after federal investigators flagged credible threats related to her work at the Justice Department, the New York Times reports. The move happened within the past month, after law enforcement warned her team that the danger had reached a level serious enough to force action. . . This isn't an isolated case. It's a pattern: Several senior officials have already made similar moves amid increased threats against members of the administration. Among them are Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s top domestic policy adviser; Secretary of State Marco Rubio; outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem; and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Of course, we have a probable recent graduate of the Renee Good driving school . . .
The United States Secret Service (USSS) detained an unnamed driver early Wednesday morning after they crashed their vehicle into an outer perimeter barricade near the White House. Anthony Guglielmi, a Secret Service spokesman, stated that officers from the agency’s uniformed division are “looking into a suspicious vehicle.” He added, “Various entrances and the streets are temporarily closed as teams conduct their work.”Notably, the crash occurred at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and H Streets, just outside Lafayette Square, according to the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). No injuries have been reported in connection with the collision.The incident has resulted in streets north of the White House being temporarily closed as law enforcement and National Guard troops secured the area.Have a great Day!

Media are speculating that Kim Jong-Un is preparing his 13 year-old daughter to be the future Queen, as he has been recently photographed with her touring munitions plants & other facilities, testing new pistol and sniper rifle designs, etc.
She doesn't look big and fat like daddy, and she wears high-necked leather jackets and has a good scowl she's working on.
The DPRK sucks and she's likely to be a real problem in the future - but it looks like she's shaping up to be a regular little Bond villain, which is cool. I want my shadowy leaders of nuclear-armed rogue states to look the part.

Um, no. This is Globalist propaganda. Specifically, "... Adding to the unpredictability of all that is Trump’s mercurial nature. Right now he is committed to striking Iran, but that’s no guarantee that he will continue to do so until the regime is no more. ..." is complete rubbish.
Trump does NOT have a "mercurial nature". When he seems to change his tune on something it's to create a desired effect, but always to attain the same pro-American goals. It's OBVIOUS through his actions that Trump understands both the threat of the Islamic regime AND the fact that it will NOT go away - ever - until it is EXTERMINATED.

To be honest with you, it’s pretty central to it. I am a believing Christian. I think that if you think about the historical influence of Christianity on our country—forget the rest of Western civilization, just limit it to the United States—some of our most cherished ideals are really rooted in Christian principles and thinking. The dignity of the individual, the sanctity of labor, the priority of the poor, all of those things are tremendously important to me.
Priority of the Poor. Fuck the poor. The poor in the US a richer than most of the EU. The Priority of Government should be freedom, Natural Rights, and Rule of Law, everything else is just bullshit made up on the fly.

The most damning thing you can say about the US legal system. There should be a judge, sitting with an injunction already written, just waiting for the Governor to sign the legislation in order to issue it.
The bill is unconstitutional on it's face. There's, literally, no argument which can be made to make it constitutional. Tell them no, refuse to stay the injunction while they appeal - which should take no more than 10 minutes for one of the appellate court judges to notice and say no, and move on.

One step closer to justifying vigilantism.
Didn't read the article since almost everything published is lies and propaganda. It does raise philosophical questions with respect to juries and how appropriate they are in low trust societies, or worse, multi-cultural low trust societies where a jury pool could very well be filled with amoral, uncivilized tribal rivals that have no love for transcendent laws, rights of people and order.
In the OJ trial there were elements of all these things. And in the persecution of Trump and those affiliated with him or the non indictments of Democrats in NYC and Babylon DC we see judges and juries that have zero interest in maintaining social cohesion, high trust or rule of law.
In LA we see people who have swindled and defrauded the government tens of millions and only getting a couple years of prison.
Is the jury system now a joke in multi-cultured, low-trust, tribal "societies" ?

Ridiculous. There's all kinds of Christianity all over this world, but none of those places are like the US because the US was founded on Enlightenment principles, not Christianity.
If anything, one of the most important values is essentially "free thought" - which includes freedom of religion, which is at odds with the Ten Commandments. Christianity has NEVER been about freedom - in fact the Bible is pretty matter-of-fact about straight-up slavery, something God himself practices (IIRC).
"Priority of the poor" was NEVER been any sort of "founding ideal". You're completely making s**t up!!

It’s because they are all incredibly weak, by any real standards. They are good at suppressing internal dissent, and beating up women and children, but they have very little war making ability.
The only countries in the Middle East with significant military forces outside of Israel were Iran, Turkey, and Egypt. We’re eliminating Iran, Egypt is too far away from the action, and no one wants to see Erdogan’s army get adventurous. Nobody wants China to start nosing around, either.
That’s why, when it comes to action in the Middle East, it’s either the US or nobody. That’s why Iran was working to dominate the area with their military buildup.

You are completely wrong, of course. The entire concept of “separation of Church and State” is a uniquely Christian value , taken for granted by modern faux intellectuals who don’t understand how it was incorporated into Western Civilization. (The concept is complete nonsense to any Muslim, for example)
First enunciated by Christ himself, when He said “render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Acknowledging that the two spheres are quite separate from each other.

The Enlightenment may have shaped the structure of the United Sates, it was the cultural and moral assumptions of the founders which added the "American" elements to their idea of the Enlightenment such as moral accountability, human dignity (Imago Dei) and virtue.
Europe, the birthplace of The Enlightenment, would be similar to the US, but because it is absent any Christian influence, is an amoral socialist hell-hole.
You pretend that the whole world has no spiritual influence anywhere in it, when indeed the spiritual world has enormous influence in the temporal realm.

In the "Servant Songs" of Isaiah, the Messiah is referred to by God the Father as "My Servant" which is probably better translated as "My Slave"... Yes, even Jesus was a slave to the the will of His Father. As believers, we are also to be slave of God. In Philippians 2, Paul writes that the Father has given Jesus a name which is above every name - The name Lord. So as believers we are slaves of Jesus. These relationships are right and proper because he is God and we are not. While it's true the NT doesn't explicitly condemn the institution of slavery (the short book of Philemon asks a slave master to receive back his runaway slave with charity because they were both Christians)... But it's also clear that slavery is incompatible with true Christian ethics. As for the poor, Jesus said they'll always be with us but encouraged the rich young ruler to sell all he had to give to the poor.

But at least to this point they don't need it. They are getting massive amounts of direct and indirect funding from the US without needing a military.
And it should be pointed out that in communist regimes there has traditionally been friction between the party and the military where the former always has to be worried about a coup from the latter. If you just don't need an army you don't have to worry about it anymore...

I'm surprised to see such abject nonsense from you. But then, it seems like it all it takes is religion to get otherwise intelligent people spouting nonsense.
By way of example, the UK has an official state religion, and the official head of state - the King - is the head of that religion. It was typical in Europe for the people to have to change their religion to match the beliefs of their sovereign - there was never much in the way of freedom of religion, much less separation of Church and State (a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson, not Martin Luther). It was unheard of before the radical Founders came along.

In “Blue Hair and the Blues: Dying Your Hair Unnatural Colours is Associated with Depression,” authors Edward Dutton and Emil Kirkegaard studied 68,000 OKCupid dating site profiles.
“People who at some point had unnatural coloured hair . . . are high in mental instability,” they wrote.
“We would submit that the simplest explanation for this relationship can be garnered from the known relationship between borderline personality disorder and extreme, though changeable, expressions of identity,” the report said. “Those who score high in neuroticism are plagued by worry and doubt, including about themselves and even about who they are.”

The money spend on fighting poverty will NEVER be enough because the definition of poverty is an arbitrary statistical evaluation.
For example, if poor person is one who has cash income less than 20% of the median income, then you will always have 20% of the people in poverty, no matter how many trillions you throw at "fixing" it.

They have been involved in executing violent crackdowns during protests.
We have to find a way of taking them out without involving a ground game, otherwise the Iranian people that want to have freedom will be too afraid to come out and protest against the regime.

secession, maybe
NOVA can outvote the rest of the state
If we want to fix the election system one way to do it would be to have red counties hold back vote totals just like blue ones now, and publish absurd results like 100% of adults in the county voted.
If say a red area in VA did this it would lead to immediate claims of election fraud and an investigation from the CIA agent running the state. But it would destroy the left's argument about how there is voter fraud and can't be any

This is partly an internet problem, partly a loss of gatekeeping problem, and partly leftwing problem
The internet lets anyone share their thoughts with the public. In the past your potential audience was very limited unless you had access to publish a book, in a newspaper, etc.
And in those limited slots that had this access, you could and would be cast out if you wrote something crazy
And finally the left poisoned this sort of gatekeeping using it to just remove anyone that disagreed with them and at the same time adopted a "no enemies to the left approach". So the guy that would rant about the wonders of communism in a park 60 years ago now instead does it in a tiktok and leftists are not allowed to criticize it...

That is a fraudulent election. Null and Void.
When people talk about “voter fraud” it evokes something different. A few people voting twice, or filling out an extra ballot here and there. Almost harmless. And it never happens anyway, and if it does, it’s not enough to change the outcome, etc.

Betrayal is very much an overstatement. I did not want this intervention and I'm not nearly as sanguine about the prospects for quick victory as many here are. I think we're in for a long slog, and I doubt we have any set goals at this point since no uprising has materialized, which seemed to be the initial goal - and none of the fundamentals for one appear to be coalescing.
I have deep misgivings about all of this, and I think Trump probably screwed up, here. That said, it's no betrayal. Trump is making a MAGA play against the Chinese, it's pretty much in line with his agenda, and consistent with his other anti-Chinese play against VZ.
Nor is it irretrieivable. He's quick on his feet, and I am hoping he'll drop the loose talk about a free Iran and boots on the ground, and focus on achievable, near-to medium-term victory conditions.
People desperately want this to be the end of MAGA, but that is not the case at this point, and it certainly needn't be. It's up to Trump to figure this out, and I still trust him much more than the other clowns in the political, military and foreign service establishments.

I mean, has Trump shown at any point that he is willing to throw away what he keeps saying he is fighting for? (the future of this country)
Not that I can see and I've watched him from the beginning. Trump very much goes by instinct and aligning his own side into positions where they "win either way" but I believe the criticisms (not by you) that he is "mercurial" are very much overblown. He may want people including his enemies to believe he is such, but someone who was, could never have got where he is with the world aligned against him waiting to "pounce" on any mistake any time. They MIGHT if they had the DNC backing them and media covering, but even then it's doubtful.
All I'm saying is this, in an election year, was carefully gamed out unless he is finally owned by the Republican establishment which I do not think is the case. That only leaves, he knows his objective, he knows which lines he will and won't cross, he knows when he wants it done, he knows there are several paths to get there, and he knows he will stay on that road until he does. This isn't 4D chess or trust the plan, this is simple math.

And then there was the false peace which led to the end. fanatics whose strategy *includes* provoking you into overreacting, then policies like “they bomb a church, we bomb ten” are not just morally dangerous; they can be strategically st00p1d because they play into the enemy’s script.

That is why many counterterrorism approaches emphasize things like:
- precise, intelligence?driven operations rather than broad collective punishment
- cutting financing, logistics, and safe havens
- information campaigns and community work that undercut the group’s religious or ideological appeal
You can still argue about where the moral line is, but when the enemy *wants* martyrdom and chaos, “more terror to stop terror” is often exactly what they are trying to provoke.

That message was delivered last night with their ghost boats attacking two oil haulers in Iraqi waters, setting them afire.

New Testament, Jesus and other biblical writers emphasized that masters should treat their slaves with respect and fairness, as seen in passages like Ephesians 6:9, which instructs masters not to threaten their slaves and to treat them well.

In other words, he DIDN'T say that masters should FREE their slaves, because slavery is completely f-ing evil. Jesus was peachy-keen with slavery, apparently, as long as it was DONE CORRECTLY. 8-)

A wealth tax is a theft tax, plain and simple, one in which the majority has decided to steal someone else's stuff. It's also short term, either by people like Howard Shultz leaving, or such a diminishment of wealth that there are no more whales to squeeze, so they have to lower their sights to those whose wealth is even less.

Yes, the idea that the third carrier will relieve the one that is overextended is just an assumption based on common sense, but the US military has said no such thing. So it could be that they feel that they just really need that third carrier there for as long as it takes.
But they probably don't expect this to take more than a few more weeks. At least not the part of it that requires carriers.

The OT has passages on treatment of slaves, and you are to treat them fairly, not abuse them. For Jews who became slaves, they had to have entered into slavery of their own accord, and if they wanted to be permanent slaves, agree to it by having their ear pierced as an external sign (as far as I recall).

Maybe you have a point. As I remember it, Jesus basically overrode the 10 Commandments with two abbreviated "commandments" of a sort of his own. The one about "love thy neighbor as yourself" (or something like that) could be interpreted as being anti-slavery.
But isn't the Bible supposed to be the infallible Word of God? So how does what Paul (assuming that's right) has to say about it figure into that?

I should have noticed that this was basically calling Jesus a "biblical writer", which of course makes no sense since the New Testament was written after his demise.
So I'm still unclear on exactly what the Bible says that Jesus had to say about slavery. But realistically, slavery was just an accepted fact of life back then, and that is no doubt reflected in the text. If there was anything overtly revolutionary about slavery that was said, it seems like that would be common knowledge.

Posted by: Kareem of Wheat at March 12, 2026 10:26 AM (vqA1l)
Its a loaded question. Since "slavery" is rather subjective, and "Bible Says that Jesus" doesn't understand a foundational principle.
Since Jesus is God, the whole Scriptures are the temporal manifestation of what He has to say.
Since the Paraclete is God, the regeneration / sanctification / renewing of the mind brings the conviction on slavery.
Since the unregenerate haven't the spiritual conviction, and since they are otherwise at enmity with God, God's Word falls upon the deaf and blind.
I don't think the unregenerate really care about God's view on slavery and would rather use a wresting of it to harass and accuse the Elect.

Profit-driven and systemic.
- The 9-year journey to fix time in JavaScript. (GitHub)
It's taken that long because (a) JavaScript is broken and (b) time is broken. There's a book called Calendrical Calculations that covers all the ways time is broken and how to deal with it. Originally a slim paperback, the fourth edition (which I own) is a hefty 662 pages.
JavaScript is its own problem.
- It's Patch Tuesday and your computer just got rebooted. (Bleeping Computer)
Microsoft fixed two zero day vulnerabilities this time and 79 other bugs.
- Funny thing about AI: It loves the command line and hates the convenience of graphical interfaces. (The Register)
LLMs work with words and so does the command line, so it makes sense. The Unix command line is a mess and something more structured would perhaps be better, but it's still orders of magnitude easier for automated tools - AI or just regular code - to deal with that than to try to parse the bitmap on your screen and move and click the mouse.
- Apple's MacBook Neo edges out AMD's 9950X3D on single-core Cinebench tests. (Notebook Check)
That's one benchmark, and of course the Neo gets creamed in multi-core tests. It is nonetheless an impressive result for what is after all a phone CPU.

He expects/hopes Apple will upgrade to the A19 processors in the next Neo version which will come with 12GB RAM, for it to include an ambient light sensor to enable a better 'TrueTone' display, and add a backlight for the keyboard as the best "quality of life improvements" for these laptops.
I'd add they need to upgrade the USB ports to at least USB 3.2 or USB4 for 10 or 20gbps speeds on both ports.

Andrew Cunningham from Ars Technica published an extensive review of the MacBook Neo. The CPU used is quite capable and the fact that Apple has produced such a lovely daily driver machine for $600 to $700 it's something I never thought Apple would do.
The article stirred up the lunatic commenters and as of tonight it's generated 380 comments which tells me Apple has hit a nerve with this specific machine. It seems obvious to say this machine is going to sell like hotcakes.
It is also the last puzzle piece of Apple blowing up the budget computer market segment with well executed capable devices that also includes the Mac Mini desktop, the Mid-Range iPhone and entry level iPad, all of which can be for around $2000 all in.
As a hedge against Microsoft's dumbassery with Windows I'm going to pick up one of these Neos as my first Apple product since an iPod. I have a sneaky feeling I'm going to be impressed with this box.

From the PNAS article on how widespread is scientific fraud:
We uncover footprints of activities connected to scientific fraud that extend beyond the production of fake papers to brokerage roles in a widespread network of editors and authors who cooperate to achieve the publication of scientific papers that escape traditional peer-review standards.
Here's a shocker for those naïfs who genuflect before the temple of peer review -- that process can be riddled with bias. Bias in the form of old boy networks, with the choice of who conducts the review directed by a paper's authors, advocates for the "consensus" view of science conspiring to exclude from publication any papers that contravene their agreed upon "consensus".

What I learned from the experience is that banks do not check signatures on checks.
Posted by: no one of any consequence
I remember being taught in school that I had to hone my signature signing skill because "banks check your signature".
The strangulation of teaching cursive script and removal of penmanship practice from the curriculum put the lie to that, completely aside from the high turnover of personnel at banks and their rapt indifference to performing any checks.

There's nothing wrong with profit-driven science.
There's a big problem with a society that was indoctrinated into The Science! and so believes anything that comes from an 'expert' is somehow dogma given by the mouth of a prophet. THAT is where the fraud comes in.

The recent and rapid rise in the number of "quick publishing" routes for academic types ("Gotta boost my count of published works for my CV!") is another Parisian boulevard for scientific fraud. The drive to get it done and get it first guarantees that crap flows into the scientific streams like municipal sewage systems failing from old age.
The recent premier example was the London School of Economics paper that modeled how the Coof "epidemic" would burst forth and kill unknown millions. One look at the "predictive" curves firing off and heading for the stratosphere here, there, and everywhere like Iranian missile batteries loosed from a controlling authority was a clear signal to anybody competently versed in the modeling art that the underlying model was incomplete and therefore was unreliable.
"But, but, but... COOF! But, but, but... dogs snd cats lying together... mass hysteria!"

Get a "fireproof" document box. It might encourage her to keep them all together.
She might not want a safe - they're heavy and she might not be able to move it. The document bags are smaller and might not fit everything. (They're good for all of your ID documents or something.) But a lightweight, sealable, water and fire resistant catalog case (that's what they look like to me) might give her and you the tool you need. They can be locked, too.

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - March 11, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for very random mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. [Top photo credit: Michael Vines. Location unknown.]
THE "BUTTON" Yes, THIS is THE button that launched John Glenn into space on Feb. 20, 1962. And we have it at our museum of space treasures. The NASA legend Tom O'Malley pushed this very button that Tuesday morning at 9:47 am to ignite the Rocketdyne XLR-89-5 engines in the Atlas LV-3B rocket that powered John Glenn off Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The plaque incorrectly says MA-7, when it was Mercury-Atlas 6. ASM board member and Rocketdyne legend, the late Lee Solid, tells the story that after the launch, he and several others went back to the LC 14 console to take out the launch button that the knew was a piece of history. Someone had already unscrewed it out of the console! The button ended up in good hands, and on display for many years at the old Astronaut Hall of Fame in Titusville. When that closed, it was bequeathed to our non-profit foundation, the U.S. Space Walk of Fame. And you can come by and see this historic relic from the birth of the Space Age. The early Atlas rocket launched four Mercury astronauts into orbit, and we celebrate that rich heritage of Launch Complex 36 recreated in our Cape Canaveral Gallery.
Eliminating one of the battlefield's most difficult choices - between the high speed of an aircraft that needs a runway and the go-anywhere flexibility of a slower helicopter - is the goal of DARPA's SPeed and Runway INdependent Technologies (SPRINT) program. SPRINT's experimental aircraft, officially revealed as the X-76, is now being built by Bell Textron, Inc. following a successful Critical Design Review (CDR). The designation places it within the historic lineage of X-planes that have long served to test the boundaries of aviation. Coinciding with the country's 250th anniversary, the X-76 designation is a deliberate nod to the revolutionary spirit of 1776. The SPRINT program is a joint effort between DARPA and U.S. Special Operations Command to advance technologies that could break the long-standing military trade-off between the high speed of fixed-wing aircraft and the agile, runway-independent operations of vertical takeoff and landing platforms. The design, construction, and flight testing of the X-76 will drive innovative, runway-independent, vertical-lift capability with jet-like cruise performance and inform future needs.Didn't the V-22 Osprey solve this trade off? The X-76 may be a different platform with different engineering, but it won't be the first, right? Sounds like the design jump is folding the helicopter blades back and operating more as a jet than a helicopter. Manned and unmanned versions. More at the War Zone. On a related and unrelated note, the B-21 prototype was spotted today for the first time doing aerial refueling today over the Majoave.
War pigs are pigs reported to have been used in ancient warfare as military animals. In combat, they were mostly employed as a countermeasure against war elephants. Historical accounts of incendiary pigs or flaming pigs were recorded by the Greek military writer Polyaenus and by Aelianus Tacticus. Both writers reported that Macedonian king Antigonus II Gonatas' siege of Megara in 266 BC was broken when the Megarians doused some pigs with combustible pitch, crude oil or resin, set them alight, and drove them towards the massed Macedonian war elephants. The elephants bolted in terror from the flaming, squealing pigs, often killing great numbers of Macedonian soldiers by trampling them to death. According to an account, Gonatas later made his mahouts keep a swine among elephants to accustom the animals to pigs.
With roughly 3.85 million metric tons of in-shell cashews produced globally in 2022 per Statista, you'd think consumers would be as geographically widespread as the growers. However, cashews arriving from major resource regions, such as the Ivory Coast, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Tanzania, reach the majority of consumers from a single buyer. That's Costco, headquartered in Washington State, which is responsible for an extraordinary 50% of cashews sold in the world.About $300,000 of Costco's revenue every single week comes from cashews. That's nuts!
The complaint, filed in California on Wednesday, says that Gavalas - who reportedly had no documented history of mental health problems - started using the chatbot in August 2025 for "ordinary purposes" like "shopping assistance, writing support, and travel planning." But after Gavalas divulged to Gemini that he was experiencing marital problems, the pair's relationship grew deeper, per The Wall Street Journal. They discussed philosophy and AI sentience, and their conversations became romantic, with Gemini referring to Gavalas as its "husband" and "king." In September 2025, told by the AI that they could be together in the real world if the bot were able to inhabit a robot body, Gavalas - at the direction of the chatbot - armed himself with knives and drove to a warehouse near the Miami International Airport on what he seemingly understood to be a mission to violently intercept a truck that Gemini said contained an expensive robot body. Though the warehouse address Gemini provided was real, a truck thankfully never arrived, which the lawsuit argues may well have been the only factor preventing Gavalas from hurting or killing someone that evening. After the plan failed, the lawsuit alleges, Gemini encouraged Gavalas to instead take his own life, promising that the two would be together on the other side of death. Chat logs show that Gemini gave Gavalas a suicide countdown, and repeatedly assuaged his terror as he expressed that he was scared to die.Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect." The ONT is always here for you, but in a more positive and less self-destructive manner.

I've never understood why people love to make fun of Rick Astley. His songs, at least the few he had in the Top 40, were effective and catchy; his voice was strong; you could understand every word he sang. Yeah, he looked sort of like Howdy Doody, and his neck was kinda long -- he looked better in a turtleneck than in a sport shirt (but then, nearly everybody does).

I was a Marine stationed at an Army post, the Presidio of Monterey, long ago, and once a month they served steak and lobster. That was the day everyone skipped the chow hall. The steak was the worst we'd ever eaten. It didn't even have the consistency or flavor of steak, more like a cross between steak and liver. And the lobsters were MUCH worse. I swear they must have found those lobsters floating belly-up in Boston Harbor. New guy only had the lobster once.
They served this stuff once a month the night before visitor days, where parents and relatives would come and apparently their first question was always "What did they have in the mess hall last night?" It made a good impression and they were unmoved at how horrible we said it was.

Happy evening whatever, Moron's and 'ettes. It could be the twilight zone since I oddly slept most of the afternoon after taking a half dose of steroid for the killer cold. I could be up & finishing cleaning the house at 0200. My third trip with roids.
Our son is out of state and DIL posted a photo of my grands hanging out with kids of a "friend" she is polite with in their neighborhood. I don't like this person. She had 3 kids & is not married ON PURPOSE & now her psycho partner has left. I have visions of him coming to kill her & their kids with my grands as collateral. This is not the roids speaking. If present I make polite talk to her but I truly wish with all of my heart she'd move to another state.
The piano intro of Vanessa Carlton's is iconic.

....................................
That was my son, lady!
Lying! But that is exactly how girls were with him from 9th grade into college with his saxophone and looks.
I was mortified the first concert. Never expected this as a mother!
When he toured the country for a musical for 1yr of college, there were dancers over a decade older after him (he told me this, those skanks!). After a stop in FL he brought me on the bus to see his bunk, and they shot me looks and I shot green lasers right back at them. Dis is my boy!
Thankfully he was dating a redhead back in FL who years later I could have killed, but that's the only reason he was faithful and not riddled with disease.
He's married now in FL and they are expecting a secret baby that only grandparents know about! Very early on, so no solid news but a lot of prayers.
I was hatching #2 son when Huey was popular. I liked to dance in college, and on the rare chance I got in FL when we had a babysitter.

The disruption at the bank, which is largely responsible for paying the salaries of Iran's military and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is expected to prevent it from paying salaries for a period, forcing it to find alternative solutions.

Portland is a port: the Columbia is navigable well.past Portland, and the Willamette is navigable into downtown. Fleet Week during the Rose Festival is a big thing. There have been destroyers and Guided Missle Cruisers parked at Waterfront Park right downtown. Sending a particular ship was a reward to the crew (and strippers made bank). The New Jersey came (I believe) in 1990, but they parked it down at Swan Island - couldn't get under the Steel.Bridge to get all the way downtown

I was shocked when Tucker Carlson started his latest episode by asserting that Trump said, “We’re thinking about using nukes against Iran.” Why this hadn’t made the news?
Well, it’s because Trump didn't say that. In fact, he said to expect “more of the same” and that he was “leaving certain things,” like nuclear weapons - not that he was thinking about using them.
Tucker’s lying is getting out of control.

half a century of collectivization has degraded the farmland in China, and that means the produce is not nutritious or flavorful since the knowledge of farming has turned into 'add fertilizer' and has nothing to do with trace minerals.

The criticism of socialisms is that when there is a shortage of bread, socialism decrees that all available bread must be cut into sufficient slices to distribute equally, even if that requires seizing the means of production to effect the equality
The criticism of capitalism is that when there is a shortage of bread, capitalism decides to raise the price of bread so the over demand can be moderated by pricing people out of the market, and this does not preclude production of bread to support the high market price
it would be wonderful if there was some system that responded to a bread shortage by figuring out how to make more bread.

That's step two of capitalism.
If the bread shortage is long term, the higher price means it's worth it to open a bakery, and some enterprising folks will do so.
If the bread shortage is short term, there's nothing to do since it's in the process of solving itself.
Now if only the government would get the f--k out of the way and let the new bakeries open without regulating and taxing them to death..... which I guess means we live under fascism and not capitalism.

Damn. About 20 years ago now, I worked in a food lab where we made jams and jellies. We sourced strawberries from China. The berries were huge, but they were pale, kind of disgusting looking and had very little flavor. The guys in R&D had to blend them with... Venezuelan (I want to say) berries as well as flavoring to get the end product to taste right.
Additional:
-we once found a cigarette butt in a barrel of strawberries from china. I had been smoked. Had a red star above the filter (or on.)
-Got a plastic glove bag with a bunch of chinese writing. I joked that I hoped it translated to: 'Please dispose of trash in the appropriate containers!'

Decades ago, I was driving home one day, out in the country, heading east, mostly clear and sunny day, with one big dark cloud a few miles ahead. I saw a white funnel form and start dropping. It was a long way off, small, up high, and probably petered out long before it touched down. I just took a quick left and headed away, anyway.

Missing dog, answers to Chewbacca or "Chewie." Service with a slobber. It's funny when dogs disobey their masters. Buying $60 of cat toys: No reaction at all. Throwing a piece of random crap on the ground: Endless playtime possibilities. Anteater plays. Keep your eye on its real head. It's like three card monty.

Ace writes, "Buying $60 of cat toys: No reaction at all." Which is why I avoid buying new cat toys in the main. My furry thugs are just as happy with crinkly paper like Christmas wrapping, or with cardboard boxes. They have a basket of toys which were bought for their predecessors, and a few specifically for them. They love those items and often fish them out themselves for a play session.
By the way: Today is big black Stirling's fourth birthday! Or so I think. He was, the shelter told me, three months old on 6/11/22, so I went with 3/11 as his birthday. His "sister" Dagny is about two weeks younger. I have the date on her papers, but don't recall the exact date right now.

This was his first offense (ever, in his career) and if things had gone sideways it would have only hurt him.
So now he's just waiting to see if he's going to get a reprimand in his personnel file, or a suspension. He's pretty well liked and respected there, so we are hoping for the best.
He's never been in a situation like this, been working in factories his whole career, pretty much, and he is a very safe employee. Been really stressful for him.

he was working on a press in the factory, and he was alone, and he did not follow the lockout protocol while he was in the machine. Or, actually, under it. The power was not off but there was no electricity in the machine. However, this is a serious offense in this plant (which he knows) and he could lose his job. Doesn't look like that will happen, still praying not. Went before the safety committee etc. But they haven't decided or they haven't told him what they will do. One of those things you do and afterwards go, well, shouldn't have done that.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at March 11, 2026 09:03 PM (8zz6B)
One of our senior employees was on a tour through production area (high speed presses) and had forgotten his safety goggles. "Oh, it's just a quick walk-thru" so he didn't go back to fetch a pair.
As (bad) luck would have it, a punch shattered and shrapnel pierced his eye. He lost the eye. Another fraction of inch, and that shrapnel would have entered his brain. Very serious. He "retired" after that, and gave us all a safety lecture once he had recovered a bit.
I believe he consulted on some projects later, as a contract rather than regular employee.

Likely worst case is he be given his official final warning.
(This may have happened before, and it's hard to get caught if you really are alone)
When you think you are alone is when you need to lock out the most. Because some dude could just show up and not know what you are doing. If just you and another guy sometimes they can be trusted to keep watch.

I gave a vaccine (HepA) to a pt that was one week expired. Because I didn’t look at the vial. It was in the fridge, so I assumed the person who does inventory every week had checked it.
Nope.

Employers aren't trying to be evil in those cases but, as you can see, they're common OSHA violations, carrying very heavy penalties. (Violations are capable of causing terrible injuries - amputations, burns, being overcome by chemicals, gasses, etc. - depending.)
Presses are never limited to just one form of energy & the best operators can miss steps if not carefully adhering to sops.
A letter of disciplinary action and retraining - necessary for insurance and possibility as evidence of good safety and health practices being enforced - would be appropriate for the 1st (and last, hopefully) offense.
Again, good luck.

🚨 CHINA SECRETLY ARMED IRAN WITH $5 BILLION IN WEAPONS →EVERY SINGLE ONE FAILED 🚨
A secret oil-for-weapons deal between China and Iran has been exposed by Reuters. Beijing raided its own People's Liberation Army inventory to fast-track delivery before the war started.
WHAT IRAN RECEIVED:
→ 50 CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles - China's "carrier killer," $290km range
→ 6 HQ-16B surface-to-air missile systems
→ 3 HQ-9B anti-ballistic missile systems
→ 50 HQ-19 anti-satellite interceptor missiles
→ 1,200 FN-6 MANPADS
→ 300 Sunflower-200 kamikaze drones
→ 4 YLC-9B radars + 3 Type 305A radars + 6 SLC-2 counter-battery radars

$5 BILLION. Pulled from China's own military stockpile.
WHAT HAPPENED:
→ US-Israeli strikes destroyed the ENTIRE stockpile on DAY ONE
→ CM-302 missiles launched at US Navy - ZERO hits
→ Some malfunctioned mid-flight. Others intercepted by SM-3 and SM-6
→ 100% failure rate. Not a single US warship scratched.
💀 China's "world's best anti-ship missile" = couldn't hit a destroyer
💀 CM-302 has NO data link, NO satellite guidance, NO active terminal tracking
💀 Once launched it flies BLIND — and the US Navy knew it
💀 $5 BILLION in Chinese weapons = DESTROYED in hours

I know people who were here at the time. Territory or not, it was apparently rather tense for about a year and half. Good friend's mom was 2 years old when they were sent to Matanuska to farm as part of the New Deal. Her stories about learning to shoot, blackout patrols, and plane spotting were rather interesting. And yet, Attu and Kiska are a good 1000 miles west of there.

I had so many inspections related and those in chicken processing plants really stuck with me. A young man climbed onto a table to unjam an auger. His booted foot slipped and became trapped in the auger. Physicians had to come to help the freeing of the kid's foot which had to be amputated. (His family didn't speak English.)
A woman from the USDA was in the aisle of a processing room being cleaned. She slipped & her arm also went into an auger, one being washed. She, too, incurred an amputation...same hospital's physicians responding though plants were miles apart.
And when everyone hears Workers Comp vs a big lawsuit, it hits the fan.

One of the greatest contrasts I ever experiences was working for an "arborist" (tree chopping company) while at the same time was in business school. Couple days a week I was being taught how to be a master of the universe, the other half the week I was playing with chainsaws, wood chippers, dump trucks and PTOs. This was in the days before HR existed.

Has the Drone Phase of the War Begun?
I mentioned at the beginning of the war that the only possibility that I could see for fighting a ground war without ground troops (apart from SpecOps spotters spies and such) is to adapt the tactics of the Ukraine-Russia war, using drones to attack personnel on the ground.
Holy sh*t

The IDF just released a recording of an Israeli pilot talking to an American pilot:
— Kassy Akiva (@KassyAkiva) March 11, 2026
Israeli pilot: "It is a great honor for us to fight with you. You are doing a great job."
American pilot: "Thank you very much - likewise, gentlemen. Please be safe out there. Strike hard." pic.twitter.com/mr88aBbI9I
"It is an honor to fight with you"/"Strike hard"
Iran, meanwhile, is spamming drone attacks at the Gulf States, particularly at oil facilities.

In Ukraine they have been doing a lot of back and forth with drone measures. Some jammers mounted on Russian vehicles have knocked out Ukr drones by burning out the electronics or jamming control signals. Russia responded in some spots with "wire guided" drones trailing a long fiber optic cable which could not be jammed.
I don't suppose it will be long before fighter drones are made to suppress other drones just like with regular aircraft.

King Cake is nasty, usually dry and flavorless drek with hard sugar on top and some type of lemon or raspberry filling. Avoid it unless you really like crap.

Spotted in New York City on Wednesday, after fleeing Dubai, the 39-year-old actress - who recently appeared on the cover for Vogue Arabia - flashed a smile while making her way through a crowded NYC airport with her loved ones upon returning to the U.S.
Lohan was stylishly casual wearing a pair of black sweatpants as well as a burgundy leather jacket.
The Mean Girls star additionally sported a plain white shirt underneath and a patterned scarf was draped around her neck.
Her long locks were parted in the middle and flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.

You have never had real King Cake. No it does not have lemon or raspberry as a regular, that sounds disgusting. It’s plain, or there is a cream filling. That said, Rouses’s cherry one is fantastic, but that really is not traditional. It’s moist, it’s got crack sprinkled on top. You keep the King Cake knife in the box because you sliver it off a little at a time and then, oh my stars! The whole cake is gone! How did that happen!

Also the bomb blast captured on video looked similar enough to the test footage of the MOAB in the 'aughts that I figure that's what it was. It also looked substantially bigger than a 2,000-lb, although not knowing the distance puts a handicap on the estimation.
A MOP has more steel and less explosives, and the detonation goes off far enough below ground that the plumes would look significantly different.

From the interwebs:
King cakes originally contained a bean as part of an ancient Roman tradition tied to the winter festival of Saturnalia, which honored Saturn, the god of agriculture. During Saturnalia, a fava bean was hidden inside a cake, and whoever found it in their slice was crowned "king" or "queen" for the day, symbolizing a temporary reversal of social roles and a celebration of fertility and new beginnings

Understand the difference between "drones" and "drones."
The ones we're talking about shooting into Iran are big. They are cargo container big or car big. They are not something you will surreptitiously order on Amazon and modify in your living room. The "drones" a lot of people talk about with the Ukraine war are quadcopters with a grenade or RPG or artillery shell strapped to them. Those you CAN order from Amazon, but you'll need to procure the boom part separately. (And, if you don't do it right, it will just be a smoke grenade, a la the NYC idiots.)
The first sort can blow up an airfield or a small building (a large building if properly targeted) or more. The second kind might take out a single tank, maybe disable an airplane, or kill a bunch of people in a crowd.

FBI Warns That Iran Plots an "Army of Drones" Launched from a Stealth Vessel Against the West Coast
I suppose it's possible that Iran sneaked a drone-carrier out of the Persian Gulf in the weeks before the war, plotting a spoilsport retaliation attack. And I guess it would have taken that ship a couple of months to get into position.
Anyway, let's hope not. Not sure why they'd attack anti-America California, but then they did attack their own allies in Qatar.The FBI issued an urgent warning to cops across California of a potential Iranian drone strike on the Golden State. Tehran was looking at deploying unmanned aircraft on the region as the country reels after the US wiped out its Supreme Leader last month, the alert said. The Bureau said in early February agents had intelligence that drones could be sent from an unidentified vessel off the American coastline.It is very plausible that the psychopathic murderers of the old regime would want to kill the Iranians who fled it, just out of spite and a sense of anger at the slaves who got away. Indeed, Tehran's chief of police is warning people that he will murder them just for singing songs.
California has the highest concentration of Iranian dissidents in the US -- up to 500,000 -- but it is not clear if that was why the state could be targeted. The FBI alert said: "We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran." The alert was sent to police departments across the region, but it does not make it clear where specifically could be targeted. The FBI declined to comment when approached by The Post. Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images It added: "We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack." The alert was sent to police departments across the region, but it does not make it clear where specifically could be targeted. The FBI declined to comment when approached by The Post.
National police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan says that demonstrating against the regime now makes protesters enemies of the state. "If anyone comes forward in line with the wishes of the enemy, we will no longer see them as merely a protester; we will see them as an enemy," Radan said in remarks broadcast late Tuesday by state broadcaster IRIB. "And we will do to them what we do to an enemy. We will deal with them in the same way we deal with enemies," he added. The warning was explicit and obscene. "All our forces are also ready, with their fingers on the trigger, prepared to defend their revolution," said Radan. ... Gangs of Basij enforcers, often heavily armed, roam the streets, threatening civilians and forcing them indoors. Anyone who looks like they might be thinking of protesting is threatened or beaten or worse. There are checkpoints across every city. Known protesters are scrutinized even as they move through the streets to get basic necessities.Tousi reported two hopeful claims: 1, with the money now run out, and belief that the regime is effectively dead, a lot of lower level IRGC and Basij thug enforcers are just abandoning their posts and melting away. 2, the IRGC and the Satanic Mullahs are supposedly in some kind of dispute. Not a hot war, but a contest for authority. When the Gulf States announced they would take military action in retribution for Iran's unprovoked strikes on them, the mullahs put out a statement that they did not mean to hit the Gulf States, and would refrain from doing so in the future. But the IRGC contradicted them and said oh yes we meant to hit you and we'll keep on doing it, and forced the clerics of Satan to walk back their apology. I'm still very confused about how we actually topple the regime with no ground forces, but maybe the various ethnic enclaves will rise up and at least declare their own areas to be autonomous. There are reports we used the "Mother of All Bombs" for the first time, to blow up underground missile storage and production facilities, but I think this is all unconfirmed.

A couple of Jewish people in San Jose were attacked yesterday by three, what appear to be three ME type a-holes. Some Bay Area news has mentioned it and it's all over my IG feed. No arrests yet but people via social media have identified the three a-holes. They sure do smack of being a possible terror cell IMO.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to help lower energy costs during the Iran war.
“We’ll do that, and then we’ll fill it up,” Trump said in an interview with Cincinnati broadcaster WKRC.
“I filled it up once, and I’ll fill it up again, but right now, we’ll reduce it a little bit, and that brings the prices down,” the president said.

You're right - a democracy won't spring forth. For a functioning western society, you have to have an undercurrent of Judeo-Christian faith with "love your neighbor as yourself", so you don't just have folks getting theirs while screwing everyone else.
Why is everyone a coward so far? The answer is - what's in it for them in this life. They've had 50 years of living under a Muslim fist. So, they'll turn likely to every man for himself and survival of the fittest and get mine before you get yours...aka, a low trust, highly corrupt, and weak society.

idk what capacity for shipping Iran has had, but they were shipping oil to China and other places, apparently. But I'm just pontificating. FBI seems to think the threat is real.

Yeah, I've seen some videos about how container ships work. It looks like they are just sitting on top of one another, but there's a locking mechanism that secures the containers to one another.
There are people on board whose job it is to check those mechanisms during transit to minimize losses (some do still fall overboard despite best efforts).

How do you coordinate the rising? How do they get weapons? They are locked down for that very purpose.
They have to wait on events because the regime cannot last without any money to pay its goons, and blowing up the camps and barracks will wear down morale.

They are most certainly not going to change overnight. Expecting them to rise up and take over their country is a pipe dream. Sure it could happen but it probably won't happen. That is why the muslim fanatics killed the protestors who came out in public, they were the dangerous ones and they are almost all dead now.

Plus that assumes we let them continue on. Probably have to board and search them. I don't think *any* ship leaving Iran right now can be allowed to proceed without a thorough search.

Who knows how they get info.
I assume some Starlink units are still functioning for some people who have them.
The CIA managed to break into the Iran TV signal and broadcast Trump's message last week.
I think a lot of the people have a general idea of what's expected of them and that it's going to be up to them to finish off the regime with or without Bibi's encouragement, but that message at least shows the plan is still for the Iranians to do the deed themselves.
Whether or not they're willing or capable is another question entirely.

That's not the case in Iran, and so it's a more gradual process, and the continuing targeting of key leaders is going to lead to a sense that the only way to survive is for THEM to rise up. That's why the targeting is going on.
It's like a plague, they keep dropping people. Where can you go? If you go into hiding, your unit is now leaderless.
That in turn allows a small rising to take hold, and then any units moving to crush it get nuked from orbit. But it takes time to set that up, and the Iranian people have already been bloodied. They're going to be more cautious now.

Little Khamenei, Who Is Probably Dead or In a Coma, May Inherit His Corrupt Father's $95 BILLION Business Empire
Gee I wonder why Iranians are so poor.
And reportedly 90% as dead.
Mojtaba Khamenei will rule over the repressed Iranian population with an iron fist after replacing his slain father as the country's Supreme Leader. The 'vengeful' cleric, 56, is backed by the hardline Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and is viewed as even more extreme and oppressive than his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Word is (from Tousi) that the regime is running out of money, so they're just now looting it from the population.
Iran's new leader is said to want to 'seek revenge' against the US or even ordinary Iranians for the killing of his father and his wife. Mojtaba, who has been wounded in the war, has not been seen in public since the outbreak of conflict and has been earmarked for assassination by Israel. But as he asserts his power over his beleaguered nation he could benefit from his father's extraordinary business empire, worth an estimated $95billion, which he built up by systematically seizing thousands of properties belonging to ordinary Iranians.
And lest you think that rapacious looting of public money is something only foreign tyrants do, look what Ayatollah Obama is up to.
And despite being sanctioned by the US in 2019, Mojtaba is said to oversee an investment empire of over 100million pounds, with access to luxury properties in north London and bank accounts in the UK, Switzerland, UAE and Liechtenstein. He is believed to own 11 properties on The Bishops Avenue - an exclusive street in Hampstead, north London, also known as 'Billionaires' Row' and two luxury apartments overlooking the Israeli embassy in London. The sixth and seventh floor apartments near the Israeli embassy, which come with servants' quarters on the ground floor, are a stone's throw from Kensington Palace, the official residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. ... As for the funding of this substantial portfolio, Mojtaba is believed to have siphoned off profit from Iranian oil sales, before funnelling it through his opaque network to evade international sanctions aimed at curbing Tehran's military and political operations.
Read the whole thing.
The scandal-plagued Obama Presidential Center in Chicago already stirred up plenty of controversy. Now the money trail surrounding it raises even more uncomfortable questions about how former President Barack Obama's inner circle is cashing in while taxpayers get screwed over.
New federal tax filings reveal the staggering salaries flowing through the Obama Foundation as construction of the $850 million Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park nears completion. The foundation will operate the massive 19.3-acre campus, which sits on publicly owned Chicago parkland. The project includes a museum, an athletic center, and a public library branch. It will not operate as a traditional presidential library overseen by the National Archives. The land it sits on is a big part of the scheme. The Obama Foundation secured a 99-year agreement with the city, under which the foundation pays just $10 per year to use the plot. That deal alone costs Chicago tens of millions of dollars in potential value while handing over prime public property to a private nonprofit run by a former president. With such a sweet deal in place, the foundation has been able to pay its officers inflated salaries, the most eye‑popping of which is paid to Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama's closest political confidantes. Jarrett "earned" $740,000 in 2024 as CEO of the Obama Foundation. That salary easily outpaces the compensation paid to leaders at several other presidential foundations.
Six of the foundation's 10 highest-paid executives previously held senior roles in the Obama administration or campaign. David Simas, Obama's former White House political director, earned up to $626,000 annually while leading the foundation from 2017 through 2020. Adewale Adeyemo, another senior Obama official who later became deputy Treasury secretary under Joe Biden, earned about $540,000 as the foundation's first president.
Meanwhile, this third-world scumbag just got roasted by Jesse Jackson's son for making the Jackson funeral all about him and partisan Democrat politics. Adam Carolla:
"Illinois Democrats are truly living their best lives -- making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to help design the ugliest building in Chicago," Illinois GOP Chairman Kathy Salvi said. Though, to be fair, it might be the ugliest building in the country. "Their jaw-dropping salaries prove that Illinois' culture of corruption is alive and well as Barack Obama's top allies rake in the cash."
"He's like the quiet race hustler," Carolla said of Obama, who routinely made race-based matters worse both during and after his presidency. Just ask his "son," Trayvon Martin. "He's not big and blathering. He seems calculated, and also he speaks in a cadence where you go, 'this guy's got wisdom. This guy knows what he's talking about.' But all he does is race hustle, beat up this country and lie. "He's the first black president. It could have gone so differently," Carolla continued. "He really could have been impactful, a man in his position ... he and his wife, who's worse than him, all they do is sit around and bad mouth this country and tell us how bad it is."

The goals have been clearly stated - literally every CENTCOM briefing starts out with the goals:
1) Elimination of Iran's nuclear program and industry related to the manufacturing thereof.
2) Elimination of Iran's ballistic missile launch, storage and manufacturing capabilities.
3) Elimination of Iran's drone launch, storage and manufacturing capabilities.
4) Elimination of the threat to commercial international shipping.
I don't understand why people find this so g*damned confusing. It's been stated over and over again.

Trump should copy the text of the "failed" legislation and sign it. He can have the President of the Senate on hand to deliver it (that would be Vance).
Vance can tell Trump, the Senate voted and it got a majority, and that means it passed. Then Trump can immediately get it enacted as law.

1. The fact that Iran holds a sword over all our heads thanks to the strait seems to reinforce justification for war, not the other way. If they can do this after losing so much capability so quickly, doesn't that mean they are something we had better deal with before they (a) get a nuke, or (b) their pal China invades Taiwan?
2. My fear, that no one has brought up, is that the IRGC has plans to pulls a Saddam leaving Kuwait strategy of blowing everything up as they lose. That would devastate the country for many years, but also the entire wold due to loss of energy (energy is fungible, China getting sanctioned oil reduces demand worldwide. Cut Iran out and we lose a lot of energy)

I think he had potential at one time when he was young. His mind just got stuffed full of nonsense that he thought was truth. As he got older, as all of us do, his confirmation bias failed to recognize the things that didn't fit his schema and exaggerated the things that did. As a result, a reasonably bright young person wound up living in an alternative world where he was rewarded for being able to articulate things as he saw them. He just didn't bother to acknowledge reality and was able to prosper as an educated ignoramus.

I've been saying over the last few weeks that the EU is neck deep in Iran's ability to have continued to exist in their Theocratic Authoritarianistic state. And, now they are in a bit of a pickle. Do they support the US efforts in the hopes that the US shows leniency in their complicity and ignoring of sanctions (or support for protestors)....or do they hope against all hope that a conclusion can occur that doesn't include Iran's confidential documents and financial records becoming public knowledge. Because, I suspect their is a virtual army of MP's and bureaucrats receiving payments either directly or indirectly from Iran (which ties into the Islamiphication of the EU and the UK).

The NAVY has this thing called Mine Counter Measures. Lots of ways to counter mines. I worked for them for a couple of years. My guess, is all their counter measures are remotely operated today.
Posted by: pudinhead at March 11, 2026 04:53 PM (pZ64F)
Naval Drones (think a jetski or small boat with remote control) would be just the thing to map out mines and get them detonated. If you mess up its just a drone.

Major correction here - China profits from the sanctions because they ignore them. This is the strategy Saddam played off way back when with Europe.
Trump is going after the shadow fleets now, so things are changing
And yes, energy is fungible (imperfectly) although sanctioned countries to receive lower revenue and without Western tech they produce less over time. So sanctions actually have helped China a lot. Losing large factilities in Iran and surrounding area would harm everyone for longer than a few weeks, but yes it would be temporary.

with the sanctions blocking other buyers, China could and did get a major price break. A downside might be the games they had to play themselves and possible diplomatic pressure. If the Persians take over instantly the competition for that oil will raise China's price of oil.

There's a reason Venezuela was the first focus. They were the primary crude (heavy) source for Iran's refineries. And, China was the primary customer for that finished product. When Venezuela was compromised, it threw Iran into disarray, because their infrastructure is so decrepit at present they weren't equipped to drill to make up the void. That's why China was helping to put down protests in Tehran, and why Chinese nationals ended up paying nearly $500k to escape Iran.

Iran, like Venezuela (and on occasion Russia) has been in a crude/refined deficit for years. They can't keep up with domestic demand for refined products, so they have been exporting crude for refining elsewhere, then re-import.

It will be interesting - I imagine we will allow the Russian oil to find the market for awhile - one to make up for the Iranian oil, and two to hurt the Chinese to buy at market rates. Putin has some bigger decisions to make, and my guess is as the coming oil glut arrives, and hurts his ability to wage war as the price of oil drops, they will be big ones.

Venezuela and Iran would have been deal killers for the defense of Taiwan. If they started trouble in parallel, our carriers would have to go to the gulfs (persian and american) to protect shipping there instead of the Pacific.
China had a strategy of having enough worldwide allies that the US military would be spread too thin. Again, this is why I think Trump is being very strategic and focusing on China, by countering their plans.

The IRGC can run the country as a military dictatorship, but they can't do it legitimately without the supreme leader, only through force. If the IRGC suddenly develops factions there is no mechanism for resolution of those differences.

These people are paralyzed by fear, unarmed, and untrained. They'd be lambs to the slaughter.
I think there will be no uprising. We'll either destroy the regime at some point and then people in Iran will have to figure it out, or we'll subjugate it and bend it to our will, at least temporarily. Or we'll lose and they'll remain on their same course.
But I don't think the Iranian people will have much say in any of it. If they could fight, they'd have started by now.

To the broad mass of Iranians, the mullahs were already illegitimate and their rule was by force, through the IRGC. That hasn't changed. It's good propaganda to kill these guys, of course, but austere religious scholars aren't particularly needed when the lead is flying.
They can just say "the dead bastard is totally alive, trust us," and it doesn't really change the balance of terror.

Well, they did rise and were put down, so they are waiting to see how beaten up the enforcers are before trying it again.
They are chanting out the windows, so the sentiment is there, and as command and control break down, the power of enforcement falters. I'm quite impressed by the planning and execution, so I'm going to just let things unfold rather than project my hopes onto whatever planning is going on.

I recently heard the claim that Kuwait was angling their wells to suck on Iraqi reserves, and Saddam had got or thought he got tacit OK to invade and stop the theft.
It echoed Biden's tacit OK to Russia to "do a limited invasion" of Ukraine while the Ukes were building up on the border.

What you are missing is that there are always internal fissures within dictatorships. If power goes to the strongest, there is nothing binding subordinates. Think Roman Empire politics.
Having legitimacy curbs this tendency, but what you put a specific puppet in charge to be a puppet, then what matters is who pulls the strings and all bets are off.

CBS Report: Billions of Dollars of "Hospice Care" Fraud in Los Angeles Alone; One Building Sports Eighty-Nine Fake "Hospice Care" Offices
So, mutlibillion dollar network CBS has finally started investigating what sole-proprietor Nick Shirley uncovered months ago.
I guess it's something. Hospice care, if you're fortunate enough not to know, is end-of-life care for the terminally ill. "Palliative care" -- just "making the patient comfortable." And absolute demons have created hundreds -- thousands, likely -- of completely fake "hospice care" businesses and are fraudulently signing up perfectly healthy people for hundreds of thousands of dollars of "hospice care" per fake "patient" that is never delivered, only billed to the taxpayers. CBS:
We visited "ground zero" for hospice fraud: Los Angeles, California A CBS News analysis of records for every hospice operating in Los Angeles County finds indications of fraud are growing. By Rachel Gold, Laura Geller, Adam Yamaguchi and Graham Kates At age 69, Lynn Ianni is a pickleball whiz, zipping from dinks to drives energetically. When she suffered an injury on the court two years ago, she sought physical therapy, and was surprised to learn her Medicare insurance wouldn't cover it. She was, according to Medicare records, dying and in hospice. "They said, 'you're in hospice.' And I said, 'what? What are you talking about?" Ianni said. "'Are you kidding me? Do I look like I'm in hospice?'" Ianni's Medicare number had been stolen, and used by a company to fraudulently enroll her in hospice -- specialized, compassionate care for terminal patients nearing the end of their lives. It was another example of fraud in the hospice industry, long a nationwide problem. But her case arose well after officials had promised to stamp it out in California, where the problem has been especially acute. Ianni was initially approved for physical therapy treatments through Medicare. But later, her coverage was denied because she was listed as receiving hospice care, and the services were deemed not covered -- even though she was not, and has never been, in hospice. CBS News
Three years ago, California's state auditor sounded the alarm that Los Angeles County had seen a 1,500% increase in hospice companies since 2010 -- more than six times the national average relative to its elderly population. Auditors estimated LA County hospices overbilled Medicare by $105 million in a single year. The report called out notable red flags -- key warning signs of fraud: Multiple hospices in one building Geographic clustering Low patient counts High rates of terminally ill patients later discharged alive Excessive billing Staff shared across multiple companies The state says it proceeded to investigate and revoke the licenses of 280 hospices. But since then, the problem has continued to fester. CBS News examined the business and financial records of every hospice currently operating in LA County, applying the same indicators identified by the state. Indications of fraud have not stopped. In fact, they've grown. The CBS News analysis reveals that over 700 of the roughly 1,800 hospices in LA County, trigger multiple red flags for fraud as defined by the state. California is confronting this problem as Gavin Newsom, its Democratic governor, eyes a potential presidential run. Fraud in public services has become a thorny political issue. Republicans and an army of social media influencers have seized on the issue as politically potent -- accusing Democratic state executives of failing to prevent costly schemes, most notably in Minnesota, where the Feeding our Future pandemic relief scam cost taxpayers hundreds of millions. Minnesota's Democratic governor, Tim Walz, announced in January that he would no longer seek reelection amid fallout from that scandal. CBS News reached out to Governor Newsom's office. A spokesperson sent us a January 2026 statement, which reads in part, "Under Governor Newsom's administration, California has cracked down on hospice fraud, launched partnerships across state agencies, and the California Department of Justice has arrested criminals to hold them accountable." Hospice fraud is a nationwide problem. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General reported in 2023 that suspected hospice fraud amounts totaled an estimated $198.1 million.
There are about 1,800 licensed hospices in Los Angeles County, California, which is more than six times the national average for the county's senior population. A CBS News investigation found about 42% (742 companies) still operate despite having multiple signs the state has outlined as indicators of fraud. Nearly 500 hospices are operating within a 3-mile radius, the densest concentration of agencies in the county. There are 137 hospices operating along Van Nuys Boulevard alone. More than half of them show signs the state has outlined as indicators of fraud. 89 companies are registered to a single building in Van Nuys. 72 have multiple signs the state says could indicate fraud. It's the most extreme case of hospice clustering CBS found.
Read the whole thing.
CALIFORNIA HOSPICE FRAUD: There's a stretch in Los Angeles with 500 registered hospice companies within just three miles of each other. And 89 in a single building. But when we visited, we found empty offices, piled-up mail, and phone lines dead.

Dolley's grandmother was in hospice for 2 years.
She would have probably died after 6 months if Dolley's mother hadn't decided to spend her life sitting there in that nursing home every day, looking after her dementia ridden mother to make sure she clung to life for as long as possible. She probably did save the grandmother's life on a consistent basis.

Weekly meetings in Sacramento with the Gov often in attendance. He admitted years ago that the whole project was based on the Sunk Cost Fallacy... that they KNEW the budget was not realistic, but if they spent enough money... no one would be willing to cancel the whole project.
He is now retired, living in an expensive property in Southern Calif... because he made BANK during those consulting years.

Up until a few months ago, a CBS report would be taken seriously. Now it’s immediate doubt. That’s what happens when you light your credibility on fire.
It's believable fraud exists. What's suspicious is the timing and location of sudden, selective enforcement. Trump's looking for a reason to halt funding, then extract something in return. Extortion is the pattern.
The CBS News analysis reveals that over 700 of the roughly 1,800 hospices in LA County, trigger multiple red flags for fraud as defined by the state.
Not quite the "every hospice operating in Los Angeles County" claim that Bari Weis wants you to believe.
This is right-wing BS from CBS, the newly minted MAGA propaganda outlet. The state has been investigating it. Hundreds of licenses have already been revoked. The CBS report didn't mention any of that. Why? To make CA look corrupt, and to hurt Newsom.

HSR has two reasons to exist. If it actually gets completed (doubtful) then it's a transportation subsidy for Bay Area leftists so they can work in Frisco and then return home to their houses in the San Joaquin Valley, where real estate prices are 1/3 of prices in the Bay Area.
The other reason is that Sunk Cost thing, as a permanent supply of money for the CA Democrat Party, because there's no way in hell that it'll ever be completed. When they start trying to buy land for the tracks in the Bay Area, Frisco Donks will get their lawyers on the case to permanently block any construction.

And politicians of every party have gotten elected saying that they would get rid of the waste/fraud/abuse of the system, insisting that it was no more than 5% of the program.

It's a whole ecosystem.
NGOs exist to bring in the illegals, teach them how to defraud the system, and get a cut. Those working in the government take a cut to let things go. Illegals are the grease to the machinery.

Democrats wanted to shove illegals into these programs en masse, while lying about them being in the programs.
So they systematically removed any verification that would detect illegals in the programs.
But those verifications ALSO were the same ones that prevented fraud.
So of course fraud has exploded.

The saddest part of this whole debacle? There already are existing rail lines from San Fran to Los A.
You can see them if you drive up the Grapevine on I-5... you can see them up the Central Valley... and along the coast. You can see them alongside Highway 580 leading to the Bay Area.
There ALREADY Passenger service on those routes... and it is NEVER FULL.
IMO, this was public fraud from the very start. Billions of tax money spent on a project that was not needed, and would never be completed... and a bunch of already well off people, made a lot of money off it.

Pennsylvania has one of the largest elderly populations in the country, with over 468,000 residents receiving home care annually.
Many agencies specialize in managing Medicaid waivers that pay family members to act as caregivers, creating a massive, localized industry. (For fraud)
There is a strong preference for localized, "neighborhood" care. Small, local offices allow agencies to build trust within specific communities. 🙄
Small agencies require minimal, flexible office space, often found in affordable strip malls or storefronts, allowing them to be conveniently located near the clients they serve. (Employees come from where?!)
Home-based care is a massive, $25.6+ billion PA industry, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs. (Of course.)

You might have seen the amazing video of Iran welcoming its new Supreme Leader.
The actual Supreme Leader was not present. (Tousi TV says there are legitimate reports that he was hit during the early rounds of bombing and lost his leg and is currently in a coma.) So to welcome the totally-alive New Supreme Leader, they brought out -- and this is not a joke, this happened -- a cardboard cut-out of a human silhouette with a photograph of the totally-alive Mojtada Khamenei's head on top of it.

I thought the entire point of CPAC was to have it across the river from DC so all of the movers and shakers can pretend to give a shit about the grassroots and so that the young conservatives can get together and gratuitously have sex with one another, and have it be convenient to Sodom-on-the-Potomac.

right. So I don't know why they moved it. It's possible they just want to signal that DC is not the real capital of America any longer. I've also heard that attendance is down and they're looking for cheaper accommodations.
though, CPAC, and just about every other conservative event, was held in DC in February, which is the cheapest time to book a hotel in DC, of course. I remember one year when an event was held at Denver, in December.
I think Texas in march is a big upgrade over February in DC.

I think there are penalty assets on the ground helping with HUMIT and targeting. But almost every ethnic group has militias that CiNC has asked to stay out of the fight. That’s mostly because they believe it will devolve into a civil war between those groups. Apparently they are trying to get them to organize into some kind of multi ethnic entity than will support a new government which considers all factions. It’s gonna be interesting.

CPAC was always whored out. It's sponsor, the American Conservative Union made it a big deal when before they were more like Heritage but with a legislative scorecard. Started in 1964 as a response to the Democrats ADA (Americans for Democratic Action) and aimed to pushing the GOP to the right.
Now you got Matt Schlap and his wife with Matt committing alleged sexual harassment of some poor Hershel Walker for Senate low level aid. Schlapp is the head honcho of CPAC. Before that, David Keene who was a big lobbyist and long time campaign consultant.

A course I used to play had a goose problem around its multiple ponds m, but solved it with an extremely well - trained Lab.
Fido would go out with the first group of the morning, and knew how to not get in front of the golfers. Once he had access, he'd chase the geese away from their nests.
After a few days of being annoyed, the geese would move out.

I'm not sure if the kardashian mom bought his Oscar for him since he's dating one of them. But if she hasn't, that would ding him hard. Luckily Oscar voting closed the same day as his stupid remarks.

He said he didn't want to work in a medium that had to beg for relevance.
I'm sorry, but if Opera has to argue that it's relevant...it's not relevant. No one gives a shit.
Because it's irrelevant and subsides almost exclusively on patronage (often government funded) rather than actual interest from actual people at levels that can sustain it.

Because art has traditionally been expensive and only enjoyable by those with the time and ability to pay for it.
Mass media changed that, bringing entertainment to the people.
And that's what Chalamet wants to be part of, the democratized art world, not the exclusive to the elite art world.
And the Hollywood elite are going to hate him for it because they hate the people.
