The Morning Report — 12/30/25
Minnesotans begged House Majority Whip Tom Emmer more than a decade ago to halt the flood of Somali refugees to the area, but the lawmaker scolded them for their concerns. Minnesota’s Somali population is back in the spotlight after YouTuber Nick Shirley posted a video canvassing multiple Somali-run childcare centers accused of fraud. However, A resurfaced audio clip from “This American Life” shows that voters were concerned about mass Somali migration long before the recent controversy.
And this is courtesy of commenter "D" who has the misfortune of having Emmer as his rep.
It's a long listen but this is a recording from a 2015 townhall in St. Cloud Minnesota where Tom Emmer basically told the citizens of St. Cloud that they have to take as many Somalis as they say whether they like it or not because "America". He calls them the fastest assimilating immigrant group, and says they are just like the Germans. A few weeks after this he founded the Somali Caucus in the house of representatives. What people don't understand is Minnesotans did fight this and they were told to "shut up and sit down" by the Mn GOP.Ah yes, I have to agree that the Somalis are indeed just like the Germans — the Germans that operated the gas chambers and comprised the Einsatzgruppen. Yes we can blame Leftists/Democrats et al for all the misery, suffering and waste of life and human potential that have brought us to the brink of dissolution, but as per the famous quotation “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Well there's good men doing nothing and then there is covering up and running interference while pocketing ill-gotten lucre to act as shills and confederates. No "GOOD" men to be found! This has been the nature of the GOP since as far back as I can remember and likely longer than that. This is why Donald Trump is sitting in the White House and why Democrats and far too many Republicans want him and an energized formerly silent majority dead. . . And I mean literally dead. Which brings me to this story that at its heart is reflective of my observations
“Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rice, Biden, Weissmann, Rosenstein … When are these people being charged?” political strategist Roger Stone told Breitbart News after he was asked if he believes FBI Director Kash Patel is “knocking down enough doors” at Turning Point USA’s 2025 AmericaFest conference. “I think Kash is doing a very good job of fighting terrorists. I think he’s doing a good job of fighting child sex trafficking,” Stone said, adding, “The question, really, is: Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rice, Biden, Weissmann, Rosenstein, and on, and on.” “When are these people being charged?” Stone continued. “It’s been many months since Tulsi Gabbard declassified the documents that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt these people engaged in extra-constitutional, illegal coup d’état. When are their indictments?” Stone was referring to former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among others — all embattled with scandal. “It didn’t take them long to indict me on trumped-up charges,” Stone added. “It didn’t take them long to charge General [Michael] Flynn. It didn’t take them long to charge Donald Trump in a New York courtroom.” Stone then offered another example, pointing to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D). “It is now absolutely clear that Gov. Tim Waltz knew about and covered up the theft of billions of dollars of federal funds. That’s a crime. When is he being arrested?” Stone said.If the aim truly is to make America great again, there is only one way to do so — it is the restoration of the shattered trust that all Real Americans have in their criminal justice system. The only way that that is going to happen is if those who destroyed it are ruthlessly and mercilessly punished. And everyone in the rotten system that abrogated their oath of office is disrobed, disbarred and run out on a rail. There must be a reckoning, or else all of this is for naught and we are once again on the expressway straight to hell. If you think that that is hyperbole, I give you this to chew on:
Days ahead of trial, a federal judge has dismissed an indictment against a TikTok streamer shot by ICE earlier this year, citing constitutional violations by the government.Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
In a Saturday order, U.S. District Judge Fernando M. Olguin cited the deprivation of Carlitos Ricardo Parias’ access to counsel while held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention and the government’s failure to comply with discovery deadlines — including the timely release of body worn camera footage that captured the shooting. Federal authorities had accused Parias, a well-known TikTok streamer of local breaking news, of ramming his car into agents’ vehicles after they boxed him in and tried to arrest him during an immigration enforcement operation in October. An ICE officer opened fire, striking Parias in the arm and injuring a deputy U.S. marshal with a ricochet bullet. That same day, prosecutors charged Parias with assault on a federal officer. In November, he was indicted by a grand jury. Parias was scheduled to go to trial on Tuesday.
In his 28-page order, Olguin dismissed the indictment with prejudice, meaning prosecutors cannot refile the same charges of assault on a federal officer using a deadly or dangerous weapon and depredation of government property.
Olguin is an Obama appointee. Parias is well connected with local Democrats. . . . Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli has been a disaster and needs to go, but the bigger picture here is that California Dems have simply decided that violence against ICE personnel, much as they decided that violence against Southern California Jews by Hamas supporters, was the ‘right thing to do’ and those carrying it out need to be protected.
(The analogy isn’t accidental because Judge Olguin had previously thrown out a lawsuit by Jewish parents over antisemitic ethnic studies materials in the classroom.)
That’s the equivalent of legalized lynching in the South and it has to be treated that way.

I don't see anything in his history stating that he attended law school so I'll forgive him for not knowing how indictments happen, despite being 73.
We've already seen blue area grand juries refuse to indict blue politicians when the prosecution has beyond a doubt proof that they committed crimes.
No doubt the comments will be filled with complaints that the five people in the DOJ actually committed to the rule of law aren't acting fast enough.

The major problem, as I see it, is that the base is simply both too nice and too straightjacketed. It has been almost a year since Trump was inaugurated, and is anyone of any consequence in jail? No. Are they likely to be? Again, no.
There should be no excuse for this. The telephone lines to the GOP nickelfuckers should be burning up every single day. There should be pickets, demonstrations and in-your-face opposition to these bastards such as to drive them to suicide.
But the base will not do this. They still believe in the mythical rule of law. And they have too many obligations to spend each waking moment making the GOPs lives a living hell. And the GOP knows this, which is why they are perfectly happy to run out the clock until Trump is gone.

Its a pattern that has been true since the dream, and has many examples as empire, country and corporation has collapsed into nothing and crushed by a new system that is unlike the previous.

The basic difference is that the Dems are afraid of their voters. The GOP is dismissive. If worthless assholes like Gowdy or Mitch or Bondi woke up every morning pissing themselves wondering if this was the day they'd be dragged out of their homes and strung up to a lamppost, you can bet your ass we'd see action.

It's not up to the Republican base. The crimes are almost always committed in blue areas. Blue area citizens won't indict, they won't convict, and if, by some miracle they do, judges will just throw it out.
The best that we can hope for, and it really would be a good thing, would be for more of the country to become aware of what happened and get angry about it. Unless that happens, there is zero chance that we survive.

I was one of those of whom you speak, then I had an epiphany and realized that when God decides to crush a country, an empire or any other entity, there is not a force in the universe that will thwart His will.
I'm reminded of the passage in Genesis 15:16 when Abram was told by God that his descendants would come back to the land but would be delayed 400 years because the iniquity of the Ammorites is not yet compllete.
Who are the Ammorites? Who cares? God's Grace allowed them to flourish until their sin and depravity was "complete" and then He crushed them and replaced them and no one knows who they are.
What follows the US after the crushing? Social Media certainly confirms that the US's iniquities is pretty close to compete.
We are at Iron and Clay stage.

Which is why I like the Federal government to shut off the faucet of funding till the shit is cleaned up.
And when voters bitch, tell them to clean up the shit, and the faucet gets turned back on.
Oh...and if the shit gets cleaned up, their taxes may go down, and their access to good education, affordable housing, daycare and safe living conditions might improve.
At no additional cost.

So I teleport you to an area where there are 100 churches with an average of 50 worshippers inside and they represent a thriving, authentic body of the faith.
Then you step in a time portal and advance 100 years and see 200 churches with an average of 100 worshippers inside who are thriving and authentic yet there are also 800 churches with a thousand members who are corrupt, sick and unfaithful.
Don't look at the 800 apostate, look at the 100% increase in the real church and the increase within each congregation.
Yeah, out numbered, but also thriving and growing.

The way back is the same as all the other times this has happened. The corrupt churches will die, as God’s blessing has been removed (most mainline Protestant churches tiday) and some new form will arise, and it will look scary at first - new things always do.
It will be more difficult for the Catholic Church, since they’ve got a heirarchy that must be overthrown before true reform can begin.

Bondi and Patel are cops. All they can do is gather evidence and present it.
We have grand juries refusing to indict Democrats. We have judges throwing out charges and verdicts. We have Congress refusing to act. We have state governments in insurrection.
Until and unless some elected officials start being punished, nothing fundamental will change. We've removed too many people from the tax rolls. They don't care how much the government spends as long as they get their share. They are incapable of seeing either what happens at the end or the fact that the end is close.

Was at a community service involving setting up a bunch of Christmas trees. Youngest tripped on a branch and fell, landing primarily on his knee.
Some woman who is a local teaching sub began coddling him, after I asked him if he was OK. I loudly told her three times, "Don't baby him!" When she got the message and came over to explain to me what had happened (I knew, I had him show me his knee)), and I explained we hadn't had breakfast, and that that was the primary problem, she offered to take jim and get him something. I explained that it was not necessary, and he'd be fine after the momentary pain subsided, and she finally got the message.
Pain is a teacher, as is working through momentary hunger and dealing wth the cold after I admonished them to wear warm clothes.

Because, unlike men, women fear being outside the group. (Obviously, this is a generalization but it's also mostly true.) Human history has adapted men to solitude better than women. This, in turn, allows a coordinated effort by a few loud voices to drive female emotion.
Couple this with the decades long effort by the left to destroy the family which has resulted in a large population of unmarried women (who are the ones predominately voting for stupid) and you have the recipe for the situation in which we find ourselves.

So you say.
The Scriptures state that God will always preserve a remnant (ref Ro 9:27; 11:5; Rev 12:17, etc.)
Curiously, the Apostle Peter states that the LORD is waiting until the last of the Elect has been Redeemed. We haven't (yet) hit the Last Day, so apparently there are still those whose names that are found in the Book of Life who have not been regenerated.
Still growing!

@PeterBernegger
A federal lawsuit has been sent in today for the Smurfing of US Senator
@SenAmyKlobuchar
totaling $9,633,912.
Klobuchar and her Treasurer Samuel Clark have been stealing the identities of elderly senior citizens to carry out their Smurfing.
Smurfing is criminally laundering money into political campaigns.
@amyklobuchar
is not a US Senator as she massively cheated in her election, using Smurfing.
Curious as to what Amy's bank is going to say when they learn they are part of this criminal money laundering. Al Capone strategy.
Note: the lawsuit names the FEC as that is the statutory procedural requirement. Also, the amount of her and Clark's Smurfing is much higher as the
@FEC
has been hiding contribution transactions.

We don't need ICE agents raiding Home Depot lots--we need them raiding the top floor of Tyson Foods.
We don't need the military bombing drug boats--we need them hunting NGOs and other foreign funders of the left.
We don't need the FBI chasing sex crimes--we need them digging through the finances of every Democrat AND their judges.

What I have seen said is that there were a number of not very top tier traders that would get a margin call if silver dropped to $75.
When trading opened on Monday, one or more of the big dogs started selling to force that drop, and it did, to force that call and break the littler guys. Supposedly it worked.
It however hasn't really affected the actual price on physical price that much. Also, Shanghai is where the actual physical price is being set now. And also, starting Jan 1, China is putting big time restrictions on exporting physical. And they do a huge percentage of the world's refining.

Regarding the "Women are Kindergarten teachers" I recall a video earlier this year from the UK. A local resident of no discernible skin tone or religion pushed a child down a flight of stairs in the subway. Several local men began applying corrective measures to the man while explaining polite behavior.
Naturally, one woman had to show up and start screaming "STOP IT!" at the men. Because in her eyes, children were being naughty and it had to be stopped.

Not a slam on you but I loathe the term "Ultra-Processed Foods". What about it is the problem? I believe that there are any number of dishes which are quite complicated to prepare yet probably wouldn't be called "ultra-processed".
Might it be the plethora or chemicals added? Might it be the quantity of sugar which infested everything back when the government decided to say that fat was bad?

Scarcity plays a role in the value of something, but so does demand. China has always valued silver more than gold. It's just a thing. When Europeans wanted to trade, the Chinese wanted silver. I'm not saying they considered it worth more, but that was what they wanted.
China is in a deflationary spiral, and stories of people mortgaging their homes for silver actually makes sense given how jacked up their real estate market it.

Then I figured that Israel is a life boat for the Jews when the Titanic (Western civilization) finally sinks from hitting the iceberg.
The LORD has promised that ethnic Jews will remain to the end of days, and the conduit of US money flowing to the land of Israel is a likely a component in this plan.

UPDATE: Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer is supporting legislation that will allow the DENATURALIZATION and DEPORTATION of Somali fraudsters in Minnesota.
This would mean even if they "legally" came here, they can be sent packing.
DO IT. We have to put our foot down and be a serious nation.
EMMER: “I have 3 words regarding Somalis who have committed fraud against American taxpayers: Send them home."
"If they’re here illegally, deport them immediately; if they’re naturalized citizens, revoke their citizenship and deport them quickly thereafter."
"If we need to change the law to do that, I will. Our nation will not tolerate those who take advantage of our charity and refuse to assimilate into our culture."
"Additionally, if any naturalized Somalis had undisclosed ties to terrorist organizations like Al-Shabaab, I want to see their citizenship revoked and their asses sent back immediately. Same goes for anyone who is found to have committed marriage fraud during the immigration process.”

Licensing pause extended to adult day care settings
The two-year licensing pause for adult day centers will free resources to focus on oversight of existing licensed providers. The pause is likely to last from Feb. 1, 2026, through Jan. 31, 2028.

Trump should use his Jedi Mind Tricks on her and convince her that the people who Trump wants the DOJ to focus on are really manifestations of George Zimmerman who she relentlessly pursued criminal charges against despite her own staff telling her to back off.

Okay... you arrest them. Sweet, you get your photo op. Happy? Now you have to release them because, unless they're a grandma touring the Capitol, you can't generally hold people indefinitely.
Now comes the multi-year investigation which is slow walked by the majority of the people at DOJ who aren't onboard with restoration of the Republic. Let's assume that all this is finished while Republicans still control the WH. You take it to a grand jury. In a blue city, probably in a blue state, and the GJ refuses to indict..
Well, you still have the framed picture on your wall when the Dems get back into power and point to these actions as corruption.

I've said it before and will again: Trump's greatest weakness is that he believes in some mythical 'rule of law.'
The Democrat bastards didn't wait until they had ironclad proof or proper judicial channels when they swept up every Aunt Bee and Granny Clampett who happened to look in the direction of DC on J6. They just went ahead and grabbed them.
Going through the proper channels and crossing every T is a fools' game. Arrest Walz now and throw him in Gitmo. Lock Comey in a cell with a length of piano wire and tell him to either put it on himself or someone else will do it for him. Repatriate Ilhan from 30,000 feet sans parachute.
Trump is going to lose the midterms because he's giving no reason to come out and vote. YMMV.

This does not give her current level of performance a pass, however. I think she's timid. Not incompetent.
She could make vocal proclamations about "doing something" like tossing out indictments every weekday. But, as we've seen, those get tossed by the judiciary that is in full scale insurrection. So... what to do?
Dozens of people have been indicted, but currently, to my knowledge only one person; John Bolton, is still under indictment.

Blaming all Somalis for the actions of a few is like blaming all white people for what happened on January 6.
Medicare fraud is uncovered a lot, often done by white people in Florida. The only reason MAGA are pushing it this time is because Somalis are involved.
They are the new "outsider" group: Black, immigrants and Muslim, the perfect trufecta to be the target of conservative attacks. Right out of the fascist playbook.
Pick a random church and odds are pretty high there’s fraud, or a government program being abused. Especially of that church runs a daycare or school of any kind.
There's some 'fraud' which came around during COVID. Most will walk because rules and guidance were limited, and most businesses were trying to comply. That recently became public, and has been conflated with a series of daycares run by a Somalian migrant. It looks like the quality of the daycare isn't great, but is more or less what you'd expect with the actual levels of funding provided. Add MAGA racism, and you've got a scandal blown out of proportion.

"And truthfully, until somebody in a position of power, until somebody in a position in Minnesota, elected position, who was in charge of administering this or having some oversight over it, goes to jail, it’s honestly never going to stop."
"Look what’s going on in blue states across the country: 9 billion in Minnesota, 70 billion in fraud in California, cooking the crime stats in Washington, D.C."
"When is someone in a position of power going to go to jail for the rampant fraud?"

Daily Tech News -1 January 2026
Top Story
- Binance's Trust Wallet Chrome extension turned out to be misnamed. (Web3isGoingGreat)
It got hacked - from the inside, a so-called supply chain attack where a developer's system is compromised and used to slip malware into critical applications - and users lost $7 million.
Binance has updated the extension and will reimburse users who lost money due to the attack.
Tech News
- To protect MongoDB servers from that MongoBleed attack, just disable Zlib compression. (Yopp)
Other forms of compression (which libraries are supported depends on your version of MongoDB) will work just fine. This doesn't affect stored data, just compression of network packets, so if your server isn't open to the internet and if it is you're an idiot you can just turn compression off entirely.
You do need to restart your database, but that's better than having it bleed to death.
- Samsung is planning to go straight to 2nm at its new chip factory under construction in Texas. (WCCFTech)
That will leapfrog TSMC's US plants and bring the latest technology closer to its largest customers.
- TSMC has responded by bringing forward the schedule of its Arizona 3nm plant by a full year. (WCCFTech)
Now expected to be in full production by 2027.
- Meanwhile TSMC's Taiwan fabs are cranking out 2nm chips right now. (Tom's Hardware)
The N2 node is 10-15% faster than the current N3E node, and will be followed next year with an upgraded N2P process which is 10% faster again, and also an A16 process node - 1.6nm - which is 10% faster than that.
- Wired's database has been hacked, leaking 2.3 million user records. (Bleeping Computer)
Passwords, emails, names, all the usual stuff.
I don't think I ever had an account at Wired. Chrome doesn't have any record of one, anyway.
- You can get 4TB of RAM for just $76,999. (Hot Hardware)
That's 16 256GB DIMMs.
- The Ayaneo Pocket Vert - a modern GameBoy but with literally 10x the resolution - has a price. Prices. (Liliputing)
Ranging from $269 for the 8/128 model on preorder to $439 for the 12/512 model at retail.
- Good Old Games - known as GOG by its fans, who are legion - has been bought. (GOG)
By its co-founder, separating from game translator and more recently game developer CD Projekt, of which he is also a co-founder.
Nothing will change. CD Project Red's games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk: 2077 will continue to be sold on GOG, as will pretty much every other game worth buying.
- Windows on Arm has had a good year. (The Verge) (archive site)
Would someone do a wellness check on The Verge? I think they might have fallen and hit their head.As Microsoft transforms Windows into an "agentic OS," stuffing it with more semifunctional AI bloat, it risks further pissing off users, who might find greener pastures elsewhere. Maybe the question in 2026 won't be "Should you buy a Windows on Arm laptop?" but "Should you buy a Windows laptop at all?"
Never mind, all is well.

It is very windy here.
It is funny how the absence of leaves on the trees leads to high winds having more of a persistent and harsher sound that, in my mind's eye, strongly suggests that it would be unpleasant to be out in that cold.

In my family genealogical wanderings, I have cone to learn that a large number of my forebears resided on the Great Plains a century ofr more ago. I can only imagine how dreary and depressing the sound of winter's winds must have been for them.
Give me a winter beside one of the Great Lakes any day, which is where I grew up. The sound of the wind combined with the persistent rumbling of the lake made for a different aural experience that was somehow more enjoyable.

My Surface Pro 8 had a hinge snap a few days before the holiday sales. This made the box useless as a PC. I ended up with a Surface Pro 11 with the Qualcomm X Plus CPU as a replacement. It does everything I need or want, does it very well, has great battery life and all the software I use is natively compiled for ARM.
The new V2 CPUs that are hitting the market in the first half of the 2026 look to be speedy things. Depending on price and performance improvements selling the SP11 is not out of the question.
I am hoping that small form factor desktop PCs with these CPUs hit the market too. The performance numbers I have seen so far indicate the V2 CPUs can easily function in a desktop box; how such a box is implemented will drive if Intel or AMD will be considered if these come to market.
As usual, YMWV based on your specific needs, but based on my experience Qualcomm PCs are viable today, and with the native software and Prism emulation rapidly improving in a few years all the compatibility concerns will/should mostly be over.

The movie "Nobody's Fool" features a wide range of "snow sounds", including the squeaks made when one walks on snow when temperatures are really, really cold.
Once you become aware of them in the film, you notice that its sonic continuity was compromised by putting scenes where it was severely cold up against scenes where it was raining, and yet all were supposed to be the same day.

They don't have an analog clock in their classrooms, or nobody taught them to read one? I am glad that I grew up before cell phones, and that my son knows how to read an analog clock.

I have vague memories of as a child, having a red plastic clock face, with movable white hands, and 12 round bluish removable inserts that were numbered with the 12 hours of the clock face.
So you had to be able to place the numbers in the correct locations on the clock face, and then the hands could be positioned at any time that was desired by the parent, and you had to be able to correctly determine what time the clock face was displaying.
Never needed a firmware upgrade, and was guaranteed to be malware free.

Re the analog clock: I don't recall when I learned how to read one. It was before I went to school, I think. I remember telling my mother that the hour after lunch ought to be "thirteen o'clock" instead of "one." Wisely, she did not confuse me by introducing military time.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 30, 2025 06:01 AM (wzUl9)
I certainly knew how to read before I started school. One day in the first month of first grade, my teacher asked me to stay behind after school. "Oops," I thought in terror, "I'm in trouble." But she merely sat me down and said, "Wolfus, you know how to read, don't you?" I nodded. Hey, I'd thought *everybody* knew and had wondered why my classmates stumbled over simple words during reading time. "Dick & Jane" books were hardly Shakespeare or Thomas Hardy.
So I got a field promotion to second grade. Had to go take some tests over the next summer to confirm that I was ready for third.

And six months before that for $400 less for an otherwise similarly configured box using the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS.
I was looking at a modest upgrade to the Stryx latest with 128GB but I think I'll wait a year or two and just see what the processors are like then for the mini PC.

Straight up fraud like the Somalian money laundering? or the more covert stuff like programs that have no constitutional authority? Or the fraud that is typified by the cuntry's government education cartel where trillions are spent and buys very little actual education?

Start with the easy stuff. Baltimore city gets funding based on the number of children with ass-in-seats.
Turns out that a rather large number of those children are of the same variety as Somali day care attendees.
Checks are getting cut and cashed, and the kids are nowhere to be found.

The French Passport is slightly more valuable than a US passport in that your mobility options increase.
Things like visa-free travel in the Schengen zone, the ability live, work, own property without restrictions, start businesses or invest (think FATCA restrictions) in the EU.
I think the French passport also allows visa-free or visa on arrival in Japan, Australia and most of South America.
The French Passport is better than the US passport and French travelers are treated better than US travelers due to the Hate America First stigma around the globe.

Or pay in arrears - like I have to do for business expense accounts.
I just OCR / upload my receipts and qualified purchases get compensated.
I would have zero problem if some AI company with really damned good OCR abilities would get the government contract to take a phone image of a receipt and process it. AI could also do increasingly great job of real time auditing and validation.

Overnight Open Thread [12/29/2025]
30 years ago I was a pro-immigration, pro-interventionist, pro-surveillance-state idiot. It took a long while, but I finally figured out what the founding fathers were getting at. Let's mind our own business. let people do what they would like as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, stay out of their business, support our friends and kill our enemies. Pretty simple when you think about it.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom - go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!-- Samuel Adams

Today I drove up to the Tecovas store, about eighty miles NW of me, and purchased a pair of their "Earl" model in "Scotch goat," meaning the color and then the leather. I talked myself into a 9.5 size instead of a 10 because my ancient Justin Ropers are 9.5. They felt okay as I walked around in the store. But these boots, besides being heavy, are hot and uncomfortable. I wore them just now on the carpet in my place, including at my desk, and found my toes itching. My foot needs more room.
So, back I go on Wed. or Fri. to try the size 10s in the same model I passed on. Things just aren't simple, are they?

In a memoir, Michael Crichton tells the story of his visit to Mt. Kilimanjaro, and how it is (theoretically) possible to *walk* all the way to the top. Apparently there is a trail of not too steep a grade. No climbing equipment required.
The problem turned out to be, he found, that pretty early in the ascent, the air gets thin up there. Their guides were adapted to it; he and his companions weren't. Things did not go well. He survived, but it wasn't pleasant.

I thought I needed a snugger fit around the heel. My Dan Posts and my Justin ropers both fit perfectly and have some comfortable slip back there, and room for my toes. I guess different brands vary a bit even within the same size.

I'm sure it's pretty impressive in person.
They aren't freestanding, but the Chugach mountains near Anchorage are impressive in that way. When I first went there coming from the Colorado Rockies, I heard the tallest one wasn't even 14,000ft, so I was like "feh, that's no big deal."
But I wasn't thinking about the fact that that's counting from sea-level, without a continental watershed a mile deep beneath them, and when I actually got there I said "holy crap, these mountains are ENORMOUS."

I've done a couple game drives in South Africa. Both on preserves but still very cool. They take you out early in the morning and then later in the afternoon because that's when most animals are up and eating.
First morning we left the lodge about 6 am. Pitch black. As we got on the trail we started descending a hill and there was a bunch of trees in front us and the dirt road banked hard left and downhill. The game warden stopped because game warden. Slowly a ginormous giraffe head munching leaves arose behind the trees. And another. And another. 6 in total. Just looking at us looking at them while the munched on leaves.
One of those moments I will never forget. Till I saw the baby elephant.

For Whom the Bell Tolls is a weird novel. It starts out fairly high in energy, slopes down like a sagging bridge, then rises to the climax and finale. (The Gary Cooper/Ingrid Bergman film is exactly the same way.) In the middle section, everybody keeps talking about "in the milk of thy fathers" and "blowing the bridge," to the point you say, "Get on with it then!"
But the love scenes between Robert Jordan and Maria are very well done (note his technique of using "thou" and "thee" to show their intimacy), and the final scene is one of the greatest in fiction.

They are good, but Correia does better at a slow burn and a slow roll-out punctuated by action. And he does that exceptionally well.
Drake and Correia are incredibly transparent writers, their prose does not stand in the way of the story in any way. Drake was a lawyer who did technical writing, and Correia is a recovering CPA and the experience really shows.

Yeah, the 6 bolts that hold the bed on were nearly rust fused and required heat and Archimedes Lever to loosen. The lock ring was pretty much fused to the pump and the rust build up was incredible and I had to destroy the ring and do major cleanup.
The only silver lining is that none of the fuel line fittings broke or snapped.

Actually I don't know if it blew or not. Probably. Or a surprise someday?
I used to get a pimple like this now and then in my distant youth or the trauma known as high school. On my chin. The only part of my face I got pimples. Yes, I was that perfect. I would let it either blow or go elsewhere but not touch it (my mother told me to leave it alone). My ex friend used to take needles to hers like a nitwit and has scars (she's evil so don't feel sorry for her).
We still need snow, by the way. Lots. My former calendars used to say, "snowed 2" pretty frequently each week as I love it so much. This year I am not even writing down "dustings" as it ticks me off so badly. There is snow in the mountains. Weak yay for hope in the New Year and into spring so we don't all die.
On the bright side I am not Somolian.

IIRC -- Think it was in Hotchner's biography that I saw a story about Darryl Zanuck calling Hemingway long distance to ask about an alternate title for "Short Happy Life" that would be eye-catching and a bit sexy and also fit on theater marquees. Hemingway kept him waiting a good half-hour and then said, "Here it is. Short, eye-catching, will fit on any marquee in the country and as a sex symbol, you can't beat it. Got a pencil? Are you ready? F as in Fox. U as in Universal. C as in Columbia. K as in RKO. Have you got that, Darryl?" And hung up. The flick came out as The Macomber Affair. Who can say why?

That's the only book of Hemmingway's I liked as well. I bought A Moveable Feast, as I love Paris (or did before the barbarians) and French food. It is mostly a long whine about his girlfriend and sex in an empty apartment (I quit reading it and it is on the bedroom bookcase and I may or may not finish it).
I don't believe in throwing books away so I give them away to charity to bore the poors with my clothes and various other things I discard. The good books I don't keep I mail to my new DIL who likes to read.
My one feeble tie to Hemingway was finding a dusty oil painting in a thrift store in Sun Valley during covid for $18. It was signed by the first mayor of Sun Valley's wife (big whoop!) who was friends with the grouchy Hemingway. I guess they used to ski and drink together. I think he skied or I made that up.
Good night and send me some snow to perk me up! I look at the night sky, as that is as good as any prediction, with prayer. It used to mean snow if the night sky was pink. In the old days when it snowed. Like last year. My husband claims we've had winters like this

I seem to have a problem understanding words in songs - I thought the line was, "Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like its leprous above the Serengeti." I had no idea what that meant. I tried to convince myself that perhaps the songwriter was either tripping or thought he was being deep to justify such a weird phrase. (I was in high school, I think.)

I’m a preachers son; as a kid we sang a hymn in church: When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there…. (like your name is called and you get to enter heaven)
Well I was clueless… I thought I heard the congregation singing: When the roll is called a pyonder I’ll be there….. and I thought why would they call a roll a pyonder. A roll’s a roll and a pyonder’s a pyonder….. and what’s a “pyonder” anyway??? I was confused….

It was monk named Dionysius Exiguus who fixed the year number in AD system in 525 AD. He's the one who first set that epoch, although it was adopted widely until later, Charlemagne, I think.
There is some debate if he chose that number so that leap year numbers would be exact multiple of 4 without any nasty offset to worry with, or was it just a coincidence.

In life you ask why things aren't fair and you're met with the inscrutable will of God. But in a book I can easily point directly to the author and blame him. Why? Again not fair, I concede that. I'm an easily frustrated person. Life frustrates and confuses me. I'd prefer reading that is mostly an escape from tragedy. Do I miss out on a lot of deep philosophical insight in my simpleminded diversions? Probably. Oh well.
I'll put off understanding stoicism until the hereafter. I'll have an eternity to study it then.

Interesting according to Grok, the historical evidence is it is just a coincidence that Dionysius Exiguus chose the Year 1, which he calculated was Jesus' birth, to a first year after a Julian leap year, making the year number work out nicely.
He was primarily concerned with a system for calculated the date of Easter.

The body parts were debating who should be boss.
The brain, eyes and stomach all had their say.
Then in a tiny squeaky voice the butt-hole spoke up.
All the other body parts laughed and laughed. The butt hole got so mad it closed up, and allowed nothing to pass.
Pretty soon, the eyes couldn't see straight, the brain couldn't think and the stomach ached.
They all agreed the butt-hole should be boss.
And that my friends explains why the boss is always an a-hole.

Here’s how vouching works for Minnesota residential facilities:
Shukran: “I work for a residential facility. My 300 residents want to vote.”
Election Day Worker: “Show me you’re an employee.”
Shukran: “Here you go.” *Shows badge*
Election Day Worker: “All 300 can vote.”
X: https://bit.ly/3NlOIHC
So, if Shukran was an employee of a residential facility with 5,000 residents,
all Shukran has to do is prove he’s an employee of said facility
& Shukran can vouch for ALL 5,000 facility residents for the purpose of voting?
Is this correct, @grok?
Grok @grok
Yes, Minnesota Statutes 201.061, subd. 3, allows employees of residential facilities to vouch for an unlimited number of residents for proof of residence during Election Day registration, if they prove employment. Regular voters are limited to eight vouchers.

The Grid boys assure us they've got it under control if we get a big one. The trouble is E-W running long transmission lines. A big wig woggle in Earth's magnetic field on short term scales would induce essentially a DC voltage, "big zero sequence" in the transmission lines, driving those YUGE transformers into saturation. They've got mitigation measures to break direct ground connections and put capacitance in series with the neutral ground connections to block that.
Or so they say. They have used those over the years with some high G storms.

The Great Carrington Event. The induced DC field was enough to actually operate the telegraph lines without any power. There were fires and electric shocks, but some clever operators figured out to just disconnect the power and let the earth's field power the system and were able to keep things contained in some cases.

Don't get too far ahead, don't live in the past
I blink my eyes and the moment is over
I guess another day has passed
But it's just another day
It's just another day
Watching girls on the street
Well, that's alright with me
And it's just another day

There was likely a YUGE solar storm in 755 or 755AD that was probably 20 - 50 time stronger than Carrington. We didn't have wires strung all over the planet or radio communication then. There was a huge C-14 and Be-10 spike in the record dated to then, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle noted a red cross in the sky that year, which they attributed to some divine sign, I think.
Now, there was an even bigger storm likely around 12,400 BC. This would've been 2 orders of magnitude bigger than Carrington.
Note the timing of that, coinciding with the Younger Dryas and the impact hypothesis. This all aligns with the Erf got one hell of a smiting of some kind back then.

An ongoing topic of astronomical research is about superflares. Roughly sun-sized stars, a few of them, have been observed to belch out these superflares. If the Sun did that, Erf would be toast -- extinction level event. Protons on the deck and all that.
They're trying to rule out that the Sun could ever do that. They're hopeful, but still can't say for certain it can't.

Greetings Publius
A poster on an earlier thread today asserted that because this coming Feb has 4 Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, etc that it is one that only comes around every 800+ years or so.
Several commenters pointed out that every 28 day Feb has that, and that it isn't that uncommon for Feb to begin on a Sunday.
I was wondering if the poster got half the story - maybe this Feb starts on a Sunday AND coincides with something else less common making it a 'once every 800+ years February'.
Are you aware of anything like this?

WIth the Julian calendar, yes. With Gregorian, skipping the century leap years 3 times per 400 years messes that up. 2000, however was the first century leap year since 1600, so the 28 year cycle has been going since 1900.

Dammit, I got obsessed with the cycle of Feb starting on Sunday. We know that the Julian repeats every 28 years. And 6 + 11 + 11 = 28 days. The repeat of Sun starting Feb follows that, but splits one of the 11's into the sum of 6 + 5. So the cycle goes like this:
6, 5, 6, 11, and repeats (until a century Gregorian skipped leap year).
So, starting in 2026, that gives us
2026, 2032, 2037, 2043, 2054.
Then it starts over,
2054, 2060, 2065, 2071, 2082
So, Feb starts with a Sunday 5 times in 28 years, or once every 5.6 years on average.

We have less than 400 ships if ALL of them are working at any one time... which is impossible. A ship being forward deployed about 1/3 of the time? when not in Dry dock being fixed? Average.
We have too many irons in the fire. Too many fights we are picking without being able to sustain the IMO.
And too many fights, that really have nothing to do with US National Security except... we don't like that guy.

I didn't want to say nuthin' at the time because that show was well received here and I didn't want to sound like a snob or a nasty old nicey-pants, but-- I turned it off and never went back during the first episode of the first season.
High school boy had slipped out of the house and climbed a tree or something to get into the room of the high school girl upstairs, where she was hanging out with her younger siblings. She had been introduced as a normal girl.
She goes right to the window and sneaks him in. I thought ARE YOU KIDDING? I'd have been TERRIFIED to let a boy into my very ROOM at that age. My parents would have KILLED me.
The show completely failed to live in a kid's mentality. Utterly missed an opportunity to create some tension and drama by being realistic instead of blase about ethics, or house rules at least. Lazy writing. Over and out.

What if, instead of using tariff proceeds to bankroll vote-buying schemes, Trump did this instead:
Make an address to the nation. Explain in detail just how corrupt federal law enforcement. Announce that, with certain exceptions, Bondi has been ordered to remove the vast majority of them from active casework. They will now be paid to sit at their desks and do nothing, rather than doing harm.
And that the bounty of tariff monies will be used to fund a new department he's promulgated by diktat - the Department of Actual Justice. It can be pronounced just like DOGE, for convenience, and be headed up by a ruthless bastard of his choosing. Maybe even me.
It will deputize basically any non-felon who was born on US soil. They will be unpaid, but for bounties based on a schedule of crimes. Anyone who has or finds evidence of a crime can apply for a badge, and haul those motherfuckers in, and get PAID, bay-bee. There will be a bounty multiplier for immigrants.
Just go around DoJ. Crowdsource this shit.

My doc really knows how to make a feller feel good. I went in for a follow-up for him to check some spots on my skin -- he burned a few off with liquid N2 last time, and re-zapped a spot or two today.
He said seeing my shirtless really made him feel good. He thought his body was getting pretty bad looking, but seeing me made him feel much better about himself....
Thanks doc, you made my day. He's like that.

I don’t remember any of the kids smoking.
Or adults for that matter.
And I can’t recall tobacco ads being shown.
They did have some New Coke bits I think.
They mainly got the clothes, music, media and cultural things right for the 80s.
The early seasons also has a real 80s feel to the way it was shot and the sets and the generally weird plot.
As Perfessor Squirrel mentioned above, it was mostly from an 80s suburban California perspective instead of small town Indiana.
But look what 80s Hollywood thought of small town America with movies like Footloose.

The league will expand from 13 to 15 teams with the addition of the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo. This follows the addition of the Golden State Valkyries in 2025
However, the current CBA is set to expire on January 9, 2026. On December 18th, the WNBPA announced that the union had authorized the executive committee to "call a strike when necessary" as players continue negotiations with the league over a new CBA.
If no agreement is reached, the league could face a delayed start to the 2026 season, or even a lockout.

Posted by: Don Black at December 29, 2025 07:49 PM (ZxPkt)
I saw a video that purported to be that hit, from the ground, and I am not sure. The tanks exploding might have been gas tanks, but then again, it could have been solvent tanks for forming the fiberglass hulls of the boats cooking off.
It may have been the factory they made the hulls instead, which would be a bigger blow to the trade since the boats are 1-way trips for the hulls, by reports.
also, that sort of facility would be easier for a team to walk to and set off detonation charges.

It's not as if Muslims work, so they can't be used as wage slaves by the donors. And it's not as if there are enough of them to make a big difference in elections outside of Minneapolis, and they probably don't even vote much, because they are too lazy to do anything but steal, and most of them can't read a ballot, anyway. Good ol'-fashioned Somali learing, ya know.
But now it makes perfect sense. They were funneling shitloads of public money from other states into their campaign coffers through these retards. And if anyone said "boo," they could just say "das rayciss, go back to MAGA country, bigot."

Sports announcers and political pundits and reporters are shameless front-runners.
Sports announcers are the worst. When a Long-Time Big Name Name gets hammered by an opponent, the announcers make all sorts of excuses for the Long-Time Big Name Team. How many times have you heard an announcer or the color guy say, near the end of a game, "Well, we must give credit to (the upstart or underdog team) for playing hard and taking advantage of the unexpected mistakes by (the Long-Time Big Name Team)?"
Political pundits and reporters will instantly go from saying candidate X is unbeatable to saying Candidate Y is now the inevitable winner, based on what they hear from loose-lipped staffers and a few 'reliable' pollsters. None of them want to be accused of being surprised the candidate they've been shamelessly touting is suddenly a sure loser.

Not all of them. That's why Minnesota made a law that a registered voter can "vouch" for up to 8 people on their legal status. That's it. No ID. No forms to fill out. Just one person saying these 8 people are legal to vote.
Bonus, Minnesota has election day registration. You can just show up on election day and vouch for the 8 people in your minivan and presto, 8 additional votes.

This country has been incredibly good to me and I want that even for the people who think us old farts caused all the problems.

I mean, it's a given.
I agree, Jackstraw, if Bondi wants to leave a mark on her legacy, she has so much low hanging fruit to go after. This country could clean up a massive amount of shit.
I think it's been too profitable to do that for many people. It takes a Trump who doesn't want money.

President Trump revealed on a radio show late last week that the US had “knocked out” a drug facility in Venezuela as the campaign against foreign drug cartels and the Maduro regime intensifies.
The strike on Wednesday comes days after Trump told reporters, “Soon we’ll be starting the same program on land. The land is much easier.”
Trump confirmed the strike on a “dock area where they load the boats up with drugs” while speaking to reporters on Monday.

This is the information I have found on it from El Tiempo in Colombia
It is in Spanish so you can cut and past to Deepl.com

Press reports in Venezuela indicated that in the early hours of December 24, there was a loud explosion at the Primazol company, located in the municipality of San Francisco, in the state of Zulia, on the border with Colombia.
According to Primazol's LinkedIn profile, the company is engaged in the “import, storage, sale, and distribution of high-quality, reliable chemical supplies, serving the needs of multiple industrial sectors: food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, adhesives and coatings, animal nutrition, personal and home care.”

J6 Pipebomber Says He Wanted to Hurt Both Parties
Matt Margolis reports on the DOJ's memo asking for the detention of the bomber.
I'm glad he isn't confirming the media's claim that he was animated to plant the bombs over Trump's completely-false claims of the election being rigged. Because if he did, he'd be eligible for an insanity plea, because we all know 2020 was the most secure and fraud-free election in history.
Cole told investigators he followed the 2020 election controversy on YouTube and Reddit after things "started happening" and felt "bewildered" by what he saw. But it wasn't just one side that captured his attention. He believed that both major parties were ignoring legitimate concerns from voters who felt something was wrong. The real trigger? How both parties were dismissing and labeling those concerns. "I really don't like either party at this point," Cole told agents when they asked him why he targeted both the RNC and DNC.
He wasn't some Trump cultist. He was angry at everyone in charge. During his initial video interview, Cole denied everything at first. He claimed he drove his Nissan Sentra to D.C. alone to attend a protest. "I didn't agree with what people were doing, like just telling half the country that they -- that their -- that they just need to ignore it. I didn't think that was a good idea, so I went to the protest," he said. He insisted he's "never really been an openly political person" and avoids political talk with family to prevent conflict. But after agents confronted him with surveillance footage, Cole admitted the truth. He said that he assembled the devices in the hours before driving to D.C. on January 5. He cleaned them with disinfectant wipes. He didn't go to attend a protest. He went specifically to plant bombs. ... Cole told investigators "something just snapped" after "watching everything, just everything getting worse." He wanted to "do something 'to the parties' because 'they were in charge.'" His inspiration? The Troubles in Ireland. He denied that his actions targeted Congress or were related to the January 6 proceedings. In fact, the bombs had hour-long timers, so they weren't even supposed to go off on January 6. Here's where it gets interesting. Cole felt that "the people up top" on "both sides" shouldn't ignore grievances or label concerned citizens as "conspiracy theorists," "bad people," "Nazis," or "fascists." If people believe their votes are being nullified, "at the very least someone should address it," he said. When something as important as voting seems tampered with, "someone needs to speak up."

@RedWave_Press Dec 25 Joe Rogan on Fulton County certifying 315K votes that LACKED poll workers' signatures in the 2020 election: "Weird that 36 out of 37 [advanced voting locations], that have unsigned tapes, are strong Democratic and that there are 315K votes that aren't supposed to be there." "They didn't sign for--but so okay, don't worry about it. We just forgot to tally." Shane Gillis: "F*ck it!" Joe Rogan: "We forgot to tally. Whosies!... What a great move though, if they did steal the election."

1. FBI, initially, aggressively pursued the bomber while simultaneously embellishing the facts of the J6 event with the hope of using the bomber to highlight their agenda.
2. Eventually they landed on the current suspect, dug a little and saw he didn't fit the agenda. In fact, his family's business directly opposed the agenda.
3. Light surveillance on the suspect while the 7th Floor of the FBI debated whether to pursue it (which would water down their J6 Op) or to let it slide to pursue their agenda against MAGA.
4. Surveillance eventually dropped, and file on the suspect buried. File likely altered or 86'd to avoid future accusations.

"I really don't like either party at this point," Cole told agents when they asked him why he targeted both the RNC and DNC.
Well he's not wrong.
This is one of those rare occasions I agree with a pipe bomber.

The video of him wandering around, making a couple of laps, is very weird.
And at times it's as though he is listening and taking direction... even at one point going up on tip toes to try to spot someone he is listening to.
Why wander around giving cameras MORE chances of filming you?

Getting brisk and chilly here and will be for a day or two, so I'm enjoying it.
Today I drove up to the Tecovas store, about eighty miles NW of me, and purchased a pair of their "Earl" model in "Scotch goat," meaning the color and then the leather. I talked myself into a 9.5 size instead of a 10 because my ancient Justin Ropers are 9.5. They felt okay as I walked around in the store. But these boots, besides being heavy, are hot and uncomfortable. I wore them just now on the carpet in my place, including at my desk, and found my toes itching. My foot needs more room.
So, back I go on Wed. or Fri. to try the size 10s in the same model I passed on. Things just aren't simple, are they?

Cole wasn't part of a FALSE FLAAAG; the powers-that-be already had all they wanted from the Capitol protest and their plants like Epps. This whole thing with the pipe bombs was a joker card that the p-t-b didn't want.
As to why the p-t-b - ah hell, the deepstate - didn't investigate Cole so hard: it was enjoying watching the Unz false flaggots make things more stupid, for Trump's voters.

I suggest to either of you that you raise alternate theories that make better sense than this theory.
So far the theory that a random yahoo did some stuff that nobody wanted him to do, but was then useful to keep quiet, aligns with the "stray voltage" strategy of Obama-clique operatives.
Sitting atop it all saying "nya nya nya I don't believe you" isn't an alternate theory. It makes you look like someone who grasps the stray volts and gets shocked (when Obama beats your ass).

Lo and behold she got millions smurfed into her campaign funds for reelection. Story came out this week from someone doing a deep dive into straw donations via Act Blue. From Peter Bernegger
"Bernegger’s findings suggest three main issues with Willis’s fundraising:
Firstly, 220 donations lacked the required name or address information, constituting a clear violation of state law and totaling approximately $23,000.
Secondly, there were donations exceeding the $3,000 limit, amounting to another $27,000 in unlawful contributions.
The most significant allegation involves “smurfing,” a method of structured campaign money laundering, where large sums of money are divided into smaller amounts and donated to various campaigns, including Willis’s, to evade detection.
Bernegger’s team alleges that over 50% of Willis’s campaign contributions were unlawfully obtained through these methods, thereby compromising the legitimacy of her elections."

Hmm. Well, technically, the ouster of Papa Doc might have been a step up.
Moreover:
The Clinton Foundation directed approximately $36 million to its own programs in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, and this entire amount was spent on the ground without overhead costs. An additional $55 million was spent through the separate Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, which closed formal operations in 2012.

Arrested, convicted and deported.
Related to my earlier comment where 86% are on welfare, should be a requirement for all immigrants that if they are not allowed on welfare. Or, if we want to be generous, you get 1 year on taxpayer-funded welfare and if you don't get off of it and become a contributing member of society, you get sent back to your country of origin.

When it came to the French and the treatment of non whites they were all over the board. Blacks from Africa held a special place for the French and they enlisted them in great numbers in the Army before and during WWI. Native colonial troops from Africa also made up a significant portion of the French army serving outside of France at the beginning WWII as well.

Ted himself commented and said he didn't think it impacted his political views or drove him to violence. And...the specific things we know they did probably wouldn't have worked on almost anyone anyway.
But the more interesting thing is why they stopped programs like MK Ultra. Yes, yes being able to brainwash selected individuals is a long term fantasy for black hat types, but they tripped across something better.
Who needs a slow, individual brainwashing program when you can just use the MSM instead? No you can't be sure who specifically you'll convert BUT you get control of a significant fraction of the population so who cares?

Honestly they should have just adjusted the plot and made the time gap longer since it is mostly arbitrary. In season 5 they aren't bothering to make it seem at all like the 80s anymore so why not make it '92 instead of '87?

Suspect In Mass Stabbing on Paris Metro Turns Out to be... Oh But Why Spoil the Shocking Twist?
I guess it's not that shocking.
An illegal migrant from Africa who had a deportation order is suspected of stabbing three women on the Paris metro on Friday in what appears to be another example of the French immigration system failing to protect the public. A Malian migrant was arrested on Friday evening after three women were attacked on the number 3 line of the Parisian metro system between 4:15 and 4:45 pm local time. Thankfully, the lives of the three victims are not in danger as their wounds were superficial. However, the 25-year-old African should not have been in the country had authorities performed their duty, reports indicate. According to Le Figaro, citing sources from within the Paris prosecutor's office, the illegal from Mali was previously imprisoned last year for aggravated theft and sexual assault. He was released in July and was issued with a OQTF deportation orders, yet nearly half a year later, has still not been removed from the country. Following the attack on Friday, an investigation into attempted murder has been opened by the Regional Transport Security Service (SRT), which is reportedly not currently considering terrorism as a motivating factor. The suspect is believed to be "mentally unstable".The UK just welcomed back a true Cultural Enricher who had previously been arrested in Egypt. The UK actively campaigned for his release and his return to England. The man routinely calls for the murder of Jews and "colonialists" of all kinds as well as for more "suicide bombings" and more murders of police. He routinely declares how much he hates "white people" and how they, get this, need to be killed and dominated.

British panel show, mostly about pop culture in England.
The host, Jimmy Carr, made an outright antagonistic joke against Starmer while the only real mention of Trump was a question about him signing his EO against paper straws which had one panelist saying nice (jokey) things about him.
I mean, Channel 4, not the BBC, but still....it feels like Starmer's limited popularity isn't even being felt in British television circles.

King ferdinand wanted the cash that the inquisition was going to generate. There was a butt ton of money and property that was confiscated from people who "confessed" and the church and the king divided that between themselves.
For it's time it was a serious revenue generator.

I've been saying this for years and slowly but surely I am sounding less like a rightwing conspiracy theorist. Globalist organizations like the UN and the WEF along with major companies like BlackRock and many others have been pushing for open borders and globalist one world government for years. It was the motivating force behind scams like global warming and digital ID. It's all true and explains everything that is going on in the UK and much of the west.

Not so sure about that. GOP has more or less gotten rid of pro abortion, worshipping sacred immigrants, and even the DEI crowd.
On social issues, Trump's coalition is more conservative than the GOP of the 1980's. More populist as far as big business goes after getting burned, and becoming more fiscally conservative in many ways (see the rapture of Elon's DOGE and anger at the Somali frauds for example).
Social net support is still the biggest division between the smaller number of Ryan and now Rand Pual types that want to start with cutting legitimate benefits by statute while leaving aside all the fraud, waste, and abuse by immigrants, big Non Profits, Big Medicine, and other Corporations on the dole.

I think that's a natural progression, that we shouldn't be surprised at. Once a certain movement takes over, all the monied interests become invested in that movement, and take it over. At that point, any opposition to them either starts a new party or takes over the losing party.
In the US, Trump/Maga was able to take over the GOP (an ongoing process) In the UK, both the Tories and Labour have collapsed into cronyism, so a new party has had to form to actually represent the people.

"Starmer received gifts from Alli valued at over £39,000 since the 2019 election, including work clothing worth £16,200, eyewear valued at £2,485, and accommodation worth more than £20,000.
Starmer defended the accommodation, stating it was necessary to provide a quiet environment for his teenage son to study for GCSEs during the election campaign, as their family home was overwhelmed by media attention.
He emphasized that the gifts did not cost taxpayers anything and that he had declared them in the register of MPs’ interests.
The controversy expanded when it emerged that Alli had also provided clothing to Starmer’s wife, Lady Victoria"

Yeah, there's no reason for another 09/11-style attack in any nation in Europe. Muslims have conquered most European nations. They have control of almost all major cities in the UK where Muslims are Mayors. And they control the population through demonstrations of power and tyranny.
Rapes and sexual assaults on local women, other violence and murder all go unpunished. And the local and national media as well as local and national government all punish anyone who dares speak up against Muslims and other illegal aliens.
The UK, and most of Europe, is now Islamic.

The biggest source of unhappiness is flattening of society. People in China were happy with their peasant farms, and auto workers in Detroit were happy making Fords. But when you flatten the world and every one competes against everyone else, then everyone is unhappy. A complex, heirarchical society creates many localized levels and everyone can feel good about their position relative to some others, instead of having to compare to ALL others.
same with dating. So the globalization project seems to have been a plan to make everyone unhappy and ready for revolution. I don't think the bad effects you point out are anything other than what the commies wanted. It was the plan. Not, improved lives, but improved conditions for global communism.

It's a long listen but this is a recording from a 2015 townhall in St. Cloud Minnesota where Tom Emmer basically told the citizens of St. Cloud that they have to take as many Somalis as they say whether they like it or not because "America". He calls them the fastest assimilating immigrant group, and says they are just like the Germans. A few weeks after this he founded the Somali Caucus in the house of representatives.
What people don't understand is Minnesotans did fight this and they were told to "shut up and sit down" by the Mn GOP.

Republicans were always the productive class. That mostly meant business, which is monied as you said.
But now the money is in grift and less-productive industries -- gov., tech, finance, NGOs, and globalism.
I think the shift is less severe than you think in the parties. Same in UK -- the center of the economy shifted from the farms and industry in the Midlands to the cities -- they make their revenue off transfer payments, not production.

Topline: A then-employee at the City of Austin’s energy utility allegedly paid $980,000 in taxpayer funds to fictional companies with bank accounts belonging to his family members, according to a new report from the city auditor. Key facts: Mark Ybarra was given a city credit card from 2018 to 2023 to hire repair companies for city buildings. He used it to pay 30 different vendors, but the city auditor could only verify that eight of them were real companies, according to the report.

Yes. But you won't find it on the major media outlets.
I know of at least 2 who have been indicted so far including this one who has already been found guilty and sentenced.

"MS-NOW's" Ratings Crash After Separation from Garbage Network NBC
MSNBC recently decided to rebrand and changed its name to MS Now which sounds like a fundraiser for a disease or the old portal for Microsoft. Did the ratings improve? Not so much.
... According to Nielsen Media Research, released on Monday (December 15), Fox News averaged 2.72 million primetime viewers and 287,000 viewers in the key Adults 25-54 demo in 2025. This was up 14 per cent in total viewers and 18 per cent in the demo compared to 2024. In comparison, MSNBC (now MS NOW) averaged 923,000 total viewers (down 25 per cent on 2024) and 81,000 demo viewers (down 39 per cent), and CNN averaged 580,000 total viewers (down 15 per cent) and 105,000 demo viewers (down 29 per cent).... MS Now lost 25% of its overall viewers in one year and 39% of its younger viewers. At this rate, I don't know how much longer it's going to last.
MSNBC -- "MS-NOW" -- was forced to mention the exploding scandal. You'll never guess how they played it. Unless you guessed "it's a racist ploy by white supremacists to weaponize the government against minorities for political reasons." In that case, you did guess it.
Not only is MSNBC ignoring the massive Somali fraud in Minnesota, they’re claiming the Trump Administration is “weaponizing” federal agencies to investigate it.

Matt Van SwolLeading the charge in the non-coverage of the story: The Minnepolis Star-Tribune, which refuses to print anything about the newest scandal, which has previously defended the fraud, and which omits mention of the fraud from the "Year in Review" of Minnesota, published today. And this "newspaper" supposedly covers Ground Zero of the foreign pirate fraud scheme. Gee I wonder why they're refusing to cover it.
@mattvanswol Here's a list of the news outlets who have NOT covered Nick Shirley's fraud story: - NYTimes
- CNN
- Washington Post
- MSNBC
- NPR
- USA Today
- Reuters
- Axios
- ABC News

The hard bit now will be what he does with his newfound fame. Does he stick to doing local stories or become to fraud what Andy Ngo is to Antifa? If so, he'll be an asset for years to come.
Otherwise he'll get sucked into doing the podcast schtick and be spouting lunacy in a few years' time. We ought to warn young people on the right about this problem.

It hasn't received nearly the same coverage as the enormous fraud in Minnesota but elections in MN are equally corrupt.
One example, a MN voter can "vouch" for up to 8 other people and get them voting rights even if none of them even have an ID. This comes in handy in a state that also allows people to register to vote on election day.
Everything starts with voting. Once that is corrupted the door is open to every other kind of corruption.

I find the older I get, the less bs I'm willing to tolerate. And everyone should watch PBS.
A common stereotype is that ALL Boomers are conservative. This is true, in conservative parts of the country, but not otherwise.
GenX is more to the right than Boomers, per 2024 election data. GenX delivered the highest percentage of voters for Trump of any demo.
I find a lot of what people mass blame on Boomers, actually applies more to Gen X. I've found the progression of Gen X to be incredibly disappointing.
The Joe Rogan Experience is where some people get their news from. How anyone can get information from a four-hour dronefest made to shill supplements is beyond me.
20-30 years ago they did the same thing with Rush Limbaugh. But at least Rush had something akin to charisma.
That's the bigger story: younger people have largely abandoned traditional TV news entirely. Which gives a better context as to why MSNOW is pushing their podcasts so hard right now and pulling in more podcasters as pundits.

So once the boomers are gone, Gen X will be the new boogeyman (at least for everyone who isn't blaming all their problems on the accursed Jews, of course).
Somehow Xers will be to blame for all of the problems in their lives. Maybe we can wrap it in a neat bow for everyone and come up with some conspiracy theory where every American child born between 1965-1980 was secretly replaced with embryos implanted by crooked Hebrew OB/GYNs.
That ought to simply things for these intellectually stunted little monsters.

Partisan makeup of the state and a slight turnout differential between the parties is probably going to lead to Walz winning re-election next year.
Still, it'll probably be closer than 2022. So, moral victory, or something.

Because you cannot run statistical analysis using units of one. I learned how to use factor analysis and the later cluster analysis for projects. Basically age cohorts are used in political analysis because political socialization occurs when one is young from family and friends at the time. These age cohorts share key events such as Vietnam, Watergate, The Carter Presidency, the Civil Rights Movement, abortion being legalized, birth control pills, yadda yadda yadda.
Later generations or age cohorts then react to the older generations and what they did and they point to different events that were commonly experienced by that age cohort. Boomers reacted to the Greatest Generation and the Silents. So Gen X reacted against the Silents and Boomers and so on. Now Gen Z is reacting to Millennials.

"Those no-good, hook-nosed, bagel-eating Jews..."
"Mr Goldstein, Mr Rubystein, Mr Silverstein...where do you think they got that gold, rubies and silver? They stole it from the black man!"
"The Pope ain't a man! Let's lift up that dress of his and see if he's a man!"
I just watched one short segment of that one sermon, and have remembered those lines for decades. I can't imagine what listening to that nonsense daily would do to a malleable mind.

And yet, the Boomer generation that consumes such media is roughly split 50/50. Younger generations simply don't watch tv nor read newspapers. Even radio is dead. For those below 50, the percentages of those watching TV, reading newspapers, and listening to radio is less than 10 percent of the audience. Watch, read, or listen to the ads and you can figure out who is being targeted. Those under 50 get their kicks from the internet, not the dead MSM.

Walz and Omar will be indicted. Hard to keep the lid on.
Posted by: Ignoramus
==========
My weird little take is that Walz is not guilty. No, really! I think he's too dumb to cash in. I think he's too thick to really know this stuff was going on -- that's why Somalis felt so safe robbing the taxpayers blind as long as he was in office.
As for Ilhan, she IS smart -- like Hillary. Probably never left her prints on anything. As for her sudden wealth, she got rich after she married a rich guy.
I think those two will skate, and then crow about the racist Republicans' failed attempt to nail them.

You have to break the filibuster to do it and the votes aren't there for that yet. So the next best way is to kill off teh fraudulent voter registrations which is why DoJ is suing all the blue states and a few red ones like GA to get rid of non existent, dead, moved, or illegal voters (felons, non citizen immigrants and illegals, etc.).
That limits the available fraud pool.
Same as the lawsuit regarding mail in ballots before Scotus if successful, means no more after election day ballot insertions by the Dems in cheat by mail states and affecting some other jurisdictions as well.
Posted by: whig at December 29, 2025 04:20 PM (WDjG6)
The trick to Black Swans is noticing when they appear. The fraud in Minnesota is the tip of a very, very large iceberg and we are still only seeing a bit of the MN fraud. This is going on everywhere including red states.
Making predictions now about what is going to happen in eleven months is risky to say the least. People tend to get touchy when they personally get robbed.

I am one of the younger boomers and yet I feel a lot of sympathy for the yutes. The world that I grew up in became progressively worse in society and government compared to when I was a kid.
It wasn't all the fault of the Baby Boom but not enough was done to fix the issues when it became their time to govern. But the Greatest Generation and Silents did their share of damage as well with the Social Security Ponzi Scheme, celebrating FDR who was the closest to being a fascist that the US ever elected, and so on.

Anger at immigrants stealing government cheese is a unifying issue just like the old House banking scandal was.
People find it hard to identify a lot of fraud because it is faceless (Green Nude Eel for example) as to whom is getting rich. In this case, it is the horrid Somalis brought in by our political class that have shit on the rug, pissed on the floor, and stolen the Turkey dinner for the holidays.
That unites a lot of hatred in the electorate that is struggling to get by and while the rank and file Somali is just a run of a mill welfare cheat and small time crook, the others got away along with their Dem protectors with billions.

Every generation has their fair share of blame as to why the world sucks. But after seeing decades of GWOT with no war declaration, obamacare rammed though against voter intent and in the middle of the night, coup after coup attempt unpunished, stolen elections (primaries (D) and general (also D)), laws changed retrospectively and other machinations in attempts to prevent a popular president from being elected, and assassination attempts I temper my anti-generational angst with the question of how much, generationally or indivdually, do we actually have.

We’ve verified Medicaid fraud and voter fraud in the two most-viral stories on the internet today. Both are Minnesota-based.
And they haven’t written a single word about either one."
========
The Red Star and its MSM confederates will not cover the magnitude of these scandals because the Trump Administration and the independent news media are within the margin of Dem dissolution. Nothing is working for them. Lies and spite bring them no succor. The NGOs are getting hammered. Foreign donors are monitored and fearful of losing their US visas. Meanwhile the MSM's legacy media holdings are losing readership and viewers.

Separation of powers is going to make any enforcement of this subpoena unenforceable, if it ever comes. It won't.
It was a show, failure theater. The only thing Congress can do to affect the judiciary is budgetary and impeachment, and impeachment is a joke and Congress simply gave up using the budget that way forever ago.
The only realistic hope is the writ of mandamus progressing against him, pulling him off of Trump-related cases. And I'd put that at, maybe, 10%.

Pol Pot declared a year zero for Cambodia when he took over, declaring that by burning the past and destroying the elements of bourgeois capitalism, Kampuchea would become a classless agricultural ethnostate utopia. This required killing everyone who was in the previous government, wore glasses, was an intellectual like a teacher or a repairman, or was not native, and as the economy collapses and people started to starve, he had arrested all the suspected traitors. After compelling confession under torture they had them executed in the killing fields. The executioners were not issued weapons and had to use agricultural implements.

Some estimates put the number that Pol Pot killed (by execution and starvation) at just over 2 million people in a country that had 8 million when he took power. Yes, you read that right--25%.

As Predictable As the Setting Sun: After Conspiracy Theorist and Lunatic Marjorie Taylor Greene Turns on Trump, the NYT Offers Her a Puff-Piece with an Attempted Glamour Shot
The Calvin Coolidge ProjectShe claims to the NYT -- which expresses no skepticism, of course -- that Trump "screamed" at her to not release the name of Epstein's "clients," because, as Trump "screamed," "My friends will get hurt!"
@TheCalvinCooli1 New: Marjorie Taylor Greene told The New York Times that President Trump would stop at nothing to remain in office even after his second term ends and that he will try to cling to power She is predicting that Trump will start a war to remain in power past his second term
KateMore at the NY Post:
@kate_p45 Dec 28 Instead of reading names of Epstein clients like Marjorie Taylor Greene promised existed, she quietly flew to Costa Rica to enjoy her beach vacation in her new $5 million dollar home. Marjorie is a liar.
Massie is a liar.
LOL. "Buzz" that this retard fame-chaser planted.
Outgoing firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene openly speculated that President Trump lacks religious beliefs and slammed the "sexualization" of women at his lavish Mar-a-Lago club in a blistering series of interviews. Greene (R-Ga.) reflected on Trump's stunning remarks at the memorial service for late conservative icon Charlie Kirk, in which the president was taken aback at how the Turning Point USA co-founder "wanted the best" for his enemies. "That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don't want the best for them," Trump declared at the same September memorial where Erika Kirk powerfully forgave the sicko who allegedly killed her husband in cold blood.
"That was absolutely the worst statement," Greene told the New York Times. "It just shows where his heart is. And that's the difference, with her [Erika] having a sincere Christian faith, and proves that he does not have any faith." ... She publicly decried the arrests and treatment of the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters, backed Trump's dubious claims that the 2020 election was stolen, and even briefly garnered some buzz that she could be his VP pick last year.
... "Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you're wrong," Greene moaned about Trump's grip on the GOP. "You just keep pummeling your enemies, no matter what. And as a Christian, I don't believe in doing that. I agree with Erika Kirk, who did the hardest thing possible and said it out loud." She later added: "For a lot of MAGA, Trump is a savior, and he's like a god to them." While looking back on the causes of her falling out with Trump, Greene concluded that "it was [Jeffrey] Epstein. Epstein was everything." ... Greene also took issue with the aesthetic of women at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, contending that they're oversexualized. "I never liked the MAGA Mar-a-Lago sexualization. I believe how women in leadership present themselves sends a message to younger women," the congresswoman said. "I have two daughters, and I've always been uncomfortable with how those women puff up their lips and enlarge their breasts. I've never spoken about it publicly, but I've been planning to."
Marjorie Taylor Greene ran to the New York Times to trash President Trump, saying of Trump’s remarks at Charlie Kirk’s funeral, “That was absolutely the worst statement… It just shows where his heart is… and proves that he does not have any faith.”

The back-end is now administered by the Daily Wire with content supplied by Israeli unit 8200.

You're giving these hacks far too much credit. Such consistent behavior makes people on the right lethargic, because they come to think of the left as though it is being run by Ernst Stavro Blofeld or someone similar.
The media isn't running these stories to distract us from Somali fraud or whatever. They have X amount of airtime or pages to fill and the editors at Pravda and Izvestia only allow articles on certain subjects. This is why they eventually rotate back to old stories like the El Salvador prison.

(Why yes, that canard enrages me. It's typically thrown about by people - I use the term 'people' loosely - when you dare to disagree with their latest criticism of Trump. Even if you're just saying, "Whoa, hoss, maybe it's not as bad as you think based solely on what the media's trying to convince you of".)
MTG had her cray-cray moments from the beginning, but at this point it's clear that whatever passes for sanity in her syphilis-infested brain is all about surpassing John McCain in getting headlines.

It is medical fact that you get an endorphin hit if you get positive attention... even if unearned. This is the chemical reason people get addicted to fame... they are literally programed by body chemistry, to seek it out.
So, going cold Turkey? not gonna happen, so they have to get that hit in some other venue.
I also attribute the recent Tucker Carlson weirdness to this exact phenomenon... the attention is now being given by the Left, or Arabs, and to gain that positive attention and thus get the endorphin hit, they are literally doing anything they need to do.

They will continually elect the worst, most cartoonishly evil, candidate they can. It’s who conservatives are. Bad people.
Friends? Trump has no friends. Narcissists only care about themselves. If he says he's worried about his friends, it's because it will hurt him directly.
Epstein and Trump use to take massages *together* and finish next to each other. Or the bombshell that trump raped a pregnant 13 year old on epstein's yacht and dumped the newborn baby into lake michigan. But they'll keep voting for him. MAGATs are a lost cause.
What she doesn’t realize, but is starting too, is that women do not matter to Trump or the power that controls him. The only thing that matters to them is white men, money, and more power.

Her perceived value to Gavin/AOC-28 presidential campaign, in exchange for a cabinet post.

Is this leech a fucking idiot? Has she never been to any other high-end club or establishment of any kind? They all employ pretty, sexualized ladies to appeal not only to men, but also to ladies as well.
There's a reason ladies' magazines are full of beautiful, glamorous women, and why exclusive stores like Chanel usually employ pretty saleswomen.
People like to be in the company of attractive people. Nobody wants to be around pigs.

Sooner or later he, Erika and the TPUSA movement are going to have to take a side on Israel, Zionism and anti-Semitism.
This is not something that can be straddled. In Trump's iteration of MAGA, Zionism isn't a front-stager but it is a piece, where concerned, and these people trying to take over a post-Trump MAGA are trying to separate the two at a time when nearly the entire rest of the Party and the conservative coalition sees Zionism as a piece - again, only where concerned, and not one of the biggest pieces but certainly a piece - of the movement's platforms.

Meanwhile, the rank and file pedoes are being swept up by the Immigration and US Marshal investigations. Tens of thousands of kids saved. Yet, utter silence from mAssie and Mucho Traitor Greene. Vile people that used the whole Epstein schtick to try to derail important spending and tax bills.
Now the dog has caught the car wheel in motion, the release of all these files backsplashes on the old Dem establishment and Wall Street critters.
I think that is why the left radicals are pushing that to win an internal fight with the Schumers, Wall Street types, etc.

We covered this in an earlier thread today, but I think the Vance is Hitler thing is going to be W levels, not Trump levels.
Trump hatred levels seem particularly feminine in nature stemming from his sexual past both real and imagined. Vance doesn't have that. A lot of the grease of the GOP hatred wheels will be used up, having to replace it with something like class hatred (hillbilly), white man hatred, or just generalized GOP hatred.
All of which will probably work worse on non-partisans than the Trump hatred which worked so well that Trump got elected as president twice (well,, three times, but one doesn't count).
The Democrats will feed the needs of their upper class white women in messaging in 2028.

I'm fairly certain I was saying in December of 2020 that we wouldn't be going back to the Bush era of GOP politics, that Trump had materially changed the game within the GOP to the point that a GOPe shill in MAGA clothes wouldn't be able to get past the presidential primary voters any time soon because they won't be allowed to say certain things.
The GOP is just...different now. It's not 100% changed or a force for good overall, but it's materially different now, for the better, in 2025 than it was in 2015.

Owen Shroyer, a former InfoWars host pardoned by President Donald Trump, has sharply criticized the president’s latest national address. He called it Trump’s “worst speech yet.” Trump delivered a primetime address highlighting what he described as second-term accomplishments. Journalists later said the speech appeared more tightly scripted than Trump’s typical remarks.
Shroyer wrote, “Worst speech yet. He’s stuttering. Confidence fading. Can’t lie through the reality anymore. Never heard Trump like this.”
Shroyer added, “Not as comfortable or charismatic as he was last night. Very telling. His base has turned. He knows it. Ego damaged. Swagger lost.”

What I'm saying is that I think the voter gap, the female gender gap in voting, will diminish not further grow with Trump no longer on the ballot in presidential elections. That the female opposition to the GOP was goodly positioned in moral repugnance to Trump personally.
That doesn't get translated to Vance at the same level.
All while the whole Democrat Party has made itself wholly female and antagonistic to male interests...which I don't think will change.
The male voting gap could get worse for Democrats while the female voting gap closes.

We came very close to the GOP being effectively outlawed by Dems other than collaborators (2020-2024). Only the abject awfulness and incompetence of the Biden regime prevented that from happening.
Even now, GOP in office leads from behind Trump rather being effective allies with him. Too many quislings in both House and Senate as well as in the states.
The GOP constituencies have definitely changed, the officeholders, it remains to be seen after Trump leaves the stage.
Half empty, half full.

gop/maga MUST ensure that their base plus indies have at top of mind the issues where they are strongest, come midterm voting time.
The Dems and those that can give them the most 'bipartisan' cover, think Tucker, MTG etc, are going to want to hang healthcare/healthins around the GOP's necks.
The GOP can do one of two things - try to bury it as a 2026 issue and hope that works, or come out swinging with popular reforms and get that done in Q1.

Vance is the most popular politician in America right now with 45% liking him.
...
AOC is at something like 35% with something like 20% having no opinion of her at all.
...
That's a lot of room for the alt-media to suddenly decide to make AOC into an object of ridicule at presidential election levels.
That's why she needs to 'do' something 1) go blonde (figuratively, but preferably literally) 2) get religion (viva CHE) 3) or get pregnant.
Political Science ignores the fact that Hyperstition really does move mountains (it's what elected Trump this round) which buries the sanctimonious pundits for the very simple reason that they piss'd the wrong donor who: 1) being supremely bored and having more money than talent decides on a coure of self-rigteous indignant opposition (lib-Karen) 2) realizes they can make tons of money by doing so 3) realizes their worthless nepo-Kid can get a cabinet or department appointment and off their own dole.

Epstein touched ALL players around the world, a majority were leaders of some sort that had nothing to do with his world, but exchanged financial transactions.

More Somali Piracy: In Ohio, Somalis Are Defrauding the State Home Health Care System for $250,000 Per Year "Caring" for Phantom "Aged Parents"
Once again, the system has been set up so that all you have to do is submit the paperwork and wait a week for your rubber stamp.
A welfare program was enacted, supposedly, to pay people to stay at home and provide care for their disabled elderly relatives. Whose existence and infirmity, I'm sure, was "proven" by simple box-checks. You won't believe what happened next!Eric DaughertyAnd it's also going on in Pennsylvania. And, frankly, all other states, let's be serious. But especially Newsom's Graft Empire of California.
@EricLDaugh 🚨 WOW. Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke CONFIRMS MASSIVE fraud in Ohio, another hotbed for Somalis They run fake "home health" and bill $250,000 PER YEAR, per FAMILY, when no work is actually being done She says it also happens in PENNSYLVANIA "Audit America. Audit Ohio now. And I'm pushing for that in every single state!" "The state will, as long as the doctor has approved it, continue to pay you. It could be for 10 hours, 12 hours, up to 24 when it's critical care." "So you could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn't need it, make about $75,000 to $90,000 a year. Now you add two parents, that's $180,000. Now you add your in-laws $250,000." "You continue to add this and you wonder what are the services being provided? So a lot of providers came and said fraud is occurring because we said we weren't going to rubber stamp this paperwork." "So they went to other providers, their home health care networks saying we'll make it worth your while. Well, sounds like a kickback to me." "So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it's increased since the Somalian population came and who really needs critical care because that's meant for our disabled, our elderly and people who really need it, not to just live off our system." "And that's what's happening in Ohio. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's despicable, but authorities are now looking at it from the Attorney General's office to the U.S. Attorney's office." "I flagged them all because this is Ohio tax dollars and we have to take it seriously. I'm tired of people telling me, well, this is the way it's always been. It's subjective and we can't really check. No, you can." @MehekCooke

@elonmusk The fraud of your taxpayer money is happening nationwide and is liberally applied to attract illegal (and some legal) immigrants who will reliably vote Democrat. The more you look, the more you find. And you don't need to be a world-class detective to figure it out. This is brazen, daylight robbery.

Those places need to apply a little more grease to the wheel, is all. Kick some back upstairs to the Party Men at the state office and all will be well. Claim a bunch of kids that don't exist to make up the cost of the grease.
It's a laundromat. Taxpayer dollars go in the front door, then the operators pocket most of it and the rest are returned to bureaucrats through the back door.
The only difference between "outrageous, national-news-story fraud" and "routine operations" is whether or not a service is actually rendered at some point.

Probably conservative.
Medical care should probably be in the neighborhood of 10% of GDP, *maybe* as high as 15%, based on pre-1980 standards. Add in all of the huge technological efficiencies over the past 20 years and it should probably be closer to the bottom of the range.

"This is a distraction from the Epstein files, all of which only either implicate prominent Democrats or imply connections with prominent leftists because the Massie bill was written so badly that the DOJ has to dump everything.

DOGE was uncovering a MN-level fraud almost daily.
And Democrats responded by fire-bombing Tesla dealerships.
At the top of this fraud "profit funnel" pyramid scheme are elected Democrats, the mob bosses.
In the middle are law firms.
At the bottom are illegal and legal immigrants. And other minority groups.
I can't express my disgust at how quick--and how many!--cops showed up over a fake, non-violent "harassment" call.
That tells you exactly how deeply involved the local MN officials are.
And they are protecting this fraud--because they are on the take--in every city and state as well.

"Florida Democratic U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who was indicted by a grand jury last month for allegedly stealing money from FEMA, published Thursday what appears to be an edited version of her House portrait minus a fancy ring.
The indictment alleges Cherfilus-McCormick, her brother Edwin Cherfilus and several co-defendants stole $5 million from FEMA, laundered the proceeds, and used them to fund her 2021 congressional campaign.
Court documents allege that part of the stolen funds were used to purchase the missing yellow diamond ring, after the indictment claimed she cashed a cashier’s check worth approximately $109,000 to buy a ring on or about Sept. 1, 2021.

Problem solved as they apparently burn cash for heat.
The child care centers for no children are bad enough, as I guess that is US tax grant money? The fake home health care centers are Medicare funded, the legit ones. MD's write orders for home health care, for six weeks. A RN makes an assessment for PT or whatever. This can then be renewed.
So it goes past Walz to Medicare for this issue.
We wondered how the USA got into trillions of debt. How a budget has not been passed by US Congress since Clinton in 1997. A balanced budget in 2001 (also, Clinton). Since then they kick the can down the road while they obtain wealth.
This is a clue to their wealth along with other illegal ways.
Nick Shirley should be head, with Musk, of a new oversight hand of law.
I knew the money was being laundered somewhere. This shines a bright light on the issue and with millions seeing the answers, in Dim states as well as the entire country, there needs to be perp walks vs committees. Or hearings where Dims take the 5th or can't recall.

The GOP has shown their hand. They're anti-American. Once this "American Experiment" is over, I hope the Tribal Nations take back what was always theirs. Maybe they will be kinder to us, then American was to them.
This somali daycare scam is a massive issue, not just happening in Minnesota, and not started under Walz. Dems should capitalize on the issue and do a full audit, investigation and very public arrests. Make a show of it, and own the clean up. Don't let the republicans do it.
They’re just gonna condem Walz and send that money to Israel instead Be nice if they could stop breaking the law to protect pedos and released the files. Fraud should be investigated, but the FBI is literally protecting pedos and trying to distract from that.
I watched the video, its assenine. The video released on the 26th, and a quick look up on google shows that the average time for winter break to start in Minnesota is the 22nd. Of course they were empty.
They are also openly racist, antagonist, idiotic, and have no proof of anything.

My problem is I married into a family with a single dad going back to school. So the kids had to forge for themselves, and that meant a lot of microwaveable meals, hamburger helper, hot dogs, ramen.
Our youngest will literally open up the pantry and go, there's no food here, there's just ingredients! Since I like to make things from scratch. So our definitions of "food" are complete opposites. If they have to do more than stand at a stove with a hamburger helper box mix and frozen ground turkey thawing in the microwave for a half hour, it's too much work.
Since we both work full time, and I'm trying to lighten my mental load, there's days where dinner is "you're on your own," and dinner for them is ramen. But I've at least taught them to add protein, veg, and extra herbs and spices to it that are healthy.

Tells you exactly how they gamed this out.
What the law firms that helped them set up the LLCs told them was their shield against any investigation or discovery.
Because, by claiming it's childcare, no one--but the state officials--are allowed to go anywhere inside.
Why do you think they were told to keep the doors shut?
Scream they are trying to abduct "children" and suddenly all the good, middle-class alarms go off: "Protect our babies!!!"
Short-circuiting any reason or examination.
Go watch any of those 1st Amendment auditors.
People freak the fuck out if you're--100% legally--filming in public, especially if they think there are children being filmed.
So fucking what? It's public. You don't have a right to not be uncomfortable.
But whoo-boy do the middle-class whites go crazy demanding all sorts of arrests and making threats of violence.

My father was totally bedridden for his last 5yrs. At home. Medicare paid for Home Health Care which was a RN for bloodwork only, and reporting to the MD. He then was on Hospice the last 2yrs with the same amt of physical care: bloodwork only. Providing adult diapers and basics. NOT assistance.
His daily care was by sitters 8hrs/day that came from his long-term life insurance payments (not Medicare). When that capped, my mother bought out a contract to pay a sitter out of pocket his last year during the day. He physically could not get out of bed at night, and my mother was there as well as one brother. He slept through the night.
Medicare Part B will pay for some equipment:hospital beds, oxygen, etc. You pay 20% after deductible.
Medicare WILL NOT pay for sitters or people at the bedside. Even with Hospice, there will be visits, but not 24hr care.
So this report is more than simple fraud, it is a lie. There are no patients benefitting. None.
Children and the elderly play at the heartstrings. Someone figured this out for fraud.

That they will release starting 2026 and flooding Dem coffers through 2028.

I get it! Which is why I think dropping just ingredients off isn’t the right move. There are a lot of assumptions with being able to turn those ingredients into something when no stove or oven exists, or a 5 year old needs to make something. In those cases, an easy to heat up meal is better than nothing, but those meals aren’t all created equal. Finding the most nutritious way to eat in whatever the circumstances should be the goal.

Medicaid WILL NOT pay for sitters. Or home health like PT. Or anything except nursing homes. Or for children's care with chronic illness. Or for emergency hospitalization for people without insurance needing surgery, chemo tx or radiation...and it is classified as emergency Medicaid.
If the situation is 24hr care for a loved one, you pay out of pocket. Medicaid is what nursing homes are paid with (if not out of pocket, which is rare) once a certain income is reached.
Never has Medicaid paid for sitters at the bedside anywhere. Nor has Medicare.
So I am unclear what the above is about unless the MN government is paying out that huge amount along with Federal pay. Yet providing no services and funneling the money to politicians. Who then funnel the money to Somolia.

I did a bunch of charity work dropping food and clothing in the KY part of Appalachia about 3 years ago. Most had ovens underneath a ton of who knows what, but there were some with nothing but plastic utensils and a hot plate. I remember one shack / shed that was so neat, but the floor was dirt. They had a stove. Same with Baltimore, but those circumstance were more young kids having to fend for themselves.

Regarding the gold in Fort Knox, I recall there was bold talk about taking a look in there in the early days of the current Trump administration, and then it just faded away. That has the effect of making it look like gold is missing, and nobody involved wants that known.

Yes, I know most states, if not all, give SSI benefits to children with chronic illness for healthcare. And for disabled adults. Was it checked?
But there is no known (to me) healthcare rubber stamp for the elderly. My mother also looked into VA benefits for my father. They would provide diapers...which Medicare already did with Home Health Care.
I did see a few childcare for chronically ill children in my past years of nursing (as a student, anyway). So the parents could work. I assume that was paid with SSI/Medicaid benefits.
I was a RN case manager for a decade and would transfer patients out of acute care (med center). This is how I know this alphabet soup.
ANY social worker or RN in these states surely could see fraud. I could call today, there, I guess?, and say I was caring for my husband and no one would check?

Because no one cared. No one thought it was their business. Anyone who asked got told to do their job. Anyone who pushed wound up not meeting min quals for the position and was disciplined. People got disgusted and got new jobs.
Are you aware that if you have an income tax, the taxing authority can see both your employment history, and taxes, and even more important can see if your SSN is valid or not, and if someone is working under a false name and/or SSN? In fact, they can tell with minimal research how many people in the state work under the same SSN? The newest form of software in Oregon conceals this information.
No. One. Cares.

Ah. I am only used to how the state of FL functions as well as the pure hell on earth my mother went through in MS to provide for my father. Fortunately they had long term life insurance, that paid for sitters if not used in assisted living.
I do hope the neighbor does "care" for her mother who provides her checks.
In a state out West where we are it was the same. Medicare paid for not much of anything but partial payment on a wheelchair for my MIL. Both of our parents got long-term life insurance, so nothing came out of their savings. We were lucky.
So this "care" must be in Dim run states that I am not familiar with. $20/hr for not doing much (and,I guess? 24/7) is a petty good gig.
Our long-term life insurance is our house, I guess. My husband decided we were not going to get what our parents bought into when it was reasonably cheap...it is not now. My MIL's paid for sitters as well as assisted living.

YouTuber Exposes Another Huge Ring of Somali Pirate Fraud as Legacy "Journalists" Refuse to Investigate or Report Others' Investigations
From NottheBee's collection of Somali Pirate Memes
Just endless cover-ups of enormous crime by the Insurgency Media.
Vice President JD Vance is giving public credit to a YouTube journalist for doing what he says legacy media and elite institutions have failed to do: follow the money in Minnesota. In a post on X, Vance praised independent reporter Nick Shirley for digging into alleged fraud networks tied to the state, saying Shirley "has done far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 Pulitzer prizes." The comment was a direct response to a video Shirley shared online documenting what he described as widespread fraud, with Shirley claiming his team identified more than $110 million in suspicious activity in a single day while confronting facilities allegedly receiving millions in public funds. Shirley's reporting has been circulating widely among conservatives, with commentators amplifying clips of him visiting supposed daycare and education centers that appeared inactive despite receiving massive federal aid. Conservative media personality Benny Johnson said Shirley had exposed more than $100 million in Minnesota Somali-linked fraud routed through fake daycare and healthcare fronts, adding to the pressure on state leadership. The issue gained further traction after Tom Emmer, Minnesota's top House Republican, demanded answers from Gov. Tim Walz following a viral clip showing Shirley confronting workers at an alleged daycare in South Minneapolis. Shirley reported the center, called the "Quality Learning Center," showed no visible activity despite claims it served up to 99 children, and even misspelled "learning" on its signage. As Shirley approached, a woman inside was heard shouting "Don't open up," while incorrectly accusing him of being an ICE agent.
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is scrambling to defend his administration as a viral investigation has reignited questions about fraud inside the state's childcare funding system, putting renewed focus on oversight failures under Democrat leadership in St. Paul. The controversy exploded after independent journalist Nick Shirley released a 42-minute video Friday documenting visits to multiple daycare centers across Minnesota, including a Minneapolis location that appeared largely inactive despite reportedly receiving millions of taxpayer dollars. Walz's office responded to the footage by insisting the governor has long taken fraud seriously. A spokesperson told Fox News that Walz has spent years pressing lawmakers for expanded authority to crack down on abuse in state programs and has moved to strengthen oversight. According to the statement, the administration has launched investigations into specific facilities flagged in recent reporting, including at least one that has already been shut down. The spokesperson also pointed to broader steps Walz claims to have taken, including hiring an outside firm to audit payments to high-risk programs, terminating the Housing Stabilization Services program, appointing a statewide program integrity director, and backing criminal prosecutions tied to fraud cases. The governor's defense comes as Shirley's reporting continues to rack up millions of views online. One segment of the video centers on a daycare operating out of a building on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis, where Shirley and a colleague found no visible activity during a weekday visit. The facility's sign misspells its own name as "Quality Learing Center," despite records showing it was supposed to serve nearly 100 children and had received roughly $4 million in public funds. Speaking Sunday on Fox News' "The Big Weekend Show," Shirley said the red flags were impossible to miss. "It's so obvious that a kindergartner could figure out that there is fraud going on," he said, adding that some reporters may shy away from similar investigations out of fear of being branded "Islamophobic" or "racist." "Fraud is fraud," Shirley said. "We work too hard just to be paying taxes and enabling this to be happening." The backlash against Walz spread quickly over the weekend, with prominent conservatives amplifying the allegations. Vice President JD Vance praised Shirley's work, while Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, Donald Trump Jr., and Elon Musk also weighed in publicly. On Sunday, the White House reposted a message from Education Secretary Linda McMahon calling the alleged daycare fraud a "breathtaking failure" that occurred on Walz's watch.Kash Patel wants the pirates prosecuted and imprisoned -- and then denaturalized and ejected from our nation.
FBI Director Kash PatelNormies in Minnesota are finally getting over their "Minnesota Nice" personality defect that makes them eager victims for fraud and abuse:
@FBIDirectorKash CASE UPDATE: MINNESOTA FRAUD SCHEME The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota. However, even before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs. Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide. ... The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing. Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible.
Minnesota citizens are beginning to speak out on the Somali fraud drowning their state.

A 54-minute secret recording from a December 11, 2021, closed-door meeting inside Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s official state office is resurfacing amid explosive revelations that 70 Somali community members in Minnesota participated in stealing $250 million in federal COVID child-feeding funds.

And it's not just Somalis - the big reveal of 2025 was the most USAID money was spent inside the Beltway to subsidize the Deep State.
The big reveal of 2026 will be that tens of billions of Federal dollars are just being flat-out stolen. After all, when $42 billion dollars is spent on "rural internet access", and connected nobody, that money didn't vaporize - it ended up in people's pockets.

- platforms,
to form and run a law-abiding business, to earn a mediocre income, that I’ve created from 0 to 1, entirely by myself, bootstrapped out of my own savings, which has provided hundreds of jobs and livelihoods to employees and contractors that have touched our circle….
when all along I could’ve simply

People assume that the system will continue to exist because it has in the past. Taleb, in his Black Swans book, notes that most people are very poor predictors of black swan events in the future because of the bias toward assumptions that tomorrow will be the same as today. It is until it is not.
Covid 19 was a black swan event for example. No one here predicted how bad the medical industry response was. No one.
And it has fundamentally changed the relationship of people to the public health and medical industry.
Ditto with 9/11 etc.

Oh sure, something more than nothing will happen. There will be tough talk on X. There will be "investigations". Maybe even be some arrests and court cases.
But will the corrupt judges be defrocked and thrown in prison? No.
Will Tim Walz be thrown in prison? No.
Will Jacob Frey be thrown in prison? No.
Will Ilhan Omar have her citizenship revoked and deported? No.
Will every last Somali have their citizenship revoked and deported? No.
So, while something more than nothing will happen, nothing of actual consequence will happen that will end the fraud and prevent it from happening again.

What's really crazy is that ALL students at schools that have a certain percentage of students labeled economically disadvantaged received free breakfast and lunch with federal funds.
Until this year, my school had the breakfast delivered in a cooler to each classroom. Usually, most of it got thrown away because students weren't interested. Now students go to the cafeteria, and only those who qualify can get the meals for free.

Employment Development Department (EDD) Fraud: The state's unemployment agency was hit by massive fraud during the pandemic, with estimates of total fraudulent payments ranging from an admitted $31 billion to as much as $55 billion. A December 2025 audit also found $4.6 million wasted on thousands of unused cell phones.
Homelessness Funding: Since 2019, California has spent about $24 billion on homelessness initiatives, but a state auditor's report found that the state has not consistently tracked spending or the outcomes of these programs. In Los Angeles alone, an audit found that $2.3 billion in contracts were poorly tracked. Federal and local task forces have been formed to investigate potential fraud and corruption in homelessness funds across Southern California.
High-Speed Rail Project: The high-speed rail project has spent approximately $18 billion in state and federal funds, but no operational track has been laid, and the project is over a decade behind schedule and significantly over budget.

In the local power struggle *twirls finger in the air* it came out as a way to discredit him. But the really irksome part is the government agency's response to the reporting of the fraud.
"BFD. Everyone does it." In essence. Therein is the problem.

They'll invent something for Vance. Maybe they'll resurrect the couch thing. They'll probably find some girlfriend from college who heavily implies that he raped her. It'll be something.
And, remember, it worked so well against Trump that less than 30 days after the Access Hollywood tape...America elected Trump over Hillary Clinton.

I do think this transition from Trump will be different, though.
There's a uniquely feminine thing around Never-Trumpism tied to his sex past. Most of those women who are dedicated Never-Trumpers will be Democrats for the rest of their lives, especially if they started as Republicans, but transferring that energy to new recruits with Vance will be difficult.
The entire Democrat apparatus has spent 10 years (it'll be 12 by the time the GOP primary actually starts) relying on sex crime stuff to juice their turnout with women. Will that transfer to once-married, practicing Catholic Vance who's sins were self-proclaimed in a best selling book from decades ago?
I don't know.
Yes, Vance will be the next Hitler. But...W levels of Hitler, not Trump levels of sex criminal Hitler.

Walz didn't call Nick Shirley specifically a white supremacist. He used it in a general statement for all investigation into the fraud.
Walz's comments appear to address the broader scrutiny of fraud allegations in general terms, framing some criticism as scapegoating tied to white supremacy. For instance:
He reportedly said something along the lines of, “This is what happens when they scapegoat and this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy,” referring to investigations into the fraud.

=====
The critique of Trump vacillates between two things.
1. He's dumb and a carnival barker who tricked America to voting for him.
2. He's the single most talented political figure in living memory, and MAGA will fall apart without him.
Both are meant to explain that no one can keep the coalition together except Trump, but Trump's weaknesses were supposed to be so obvious that he'd never pull a coalition together at all.
I say that the GOP has simply changed from the mid-level down to such a degree that MAGA is here to stay for at least a generation. It's even changed enough at the highest levels to ensure it keeps going for a while there (seriously, Thune is such a massive upgrade over McConnell it's kind of crazy).

The mass media effect affects two groups in society. One is the elites including all the living in the past GOP officeholders in DC, the second is people that still read or watch mass media skewing toward those 60 and older.

MSNBC says Trump is “weaponizing” the government by investigating fraud in Minnesota, and “scapegoating” Somalis.
It was Biden’s DOJ that charged nearly 80 Somalis before Trump took office, making up over 90% of the perpetrators.
Enemy of the people.

He's secretly mind controlled by Peter Thiel, possibly on behalf of Da Jooz. That's roughly the subtext of the attacks on Vance.
I think the most probable successful attack on Vance will be that he's married to an Indian so he won't stop H1B fraud. Which would lead to a non-zero possibility of JD making some kind of "show bobs and vagene" joke. We would be confirmed to be on the golden timeline if that happened.

I just assume the writing is on the wall regarding Vance.
I haven't even thought of my own personal preference.
Trump is obviously positioning Vance to replace him to the degree that the only national figure who could challenge him, Rubio, outright says he won't run if Vance does. This creates a narrative space that makes Vance inevitable, as inevitable as Trump was in the 2024 GOP primary.

Memes are simply political rhetoric dressed up in modern terms. The delivery is different than for the ancient Greeks but Aristotle called it way back when. The essential truth is that the welfare state is run for and by grifters that defraud the taxpayers by relying on misplaced sympathy. So any welfare queen, massive wealth increases by Congress critters in office, Somali fraud, etc. produce excellent subjects for the right to meme. It is political rhetoric disguised by amusing, disgusting, and enlightening the watchers/readers using clever imagery and bumpersticker phrases.
And as Aristotle says, the best rhetoric is that which is essentially true. That is why the left cannot meme to save its ass. They live in a world of lies and fantasies and are bewildered by their own propaganda.

- You could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn't need it, make about $75,000 to $90,000 a year.
- Now you add 2 parents, that's $180,000
- Now you add your in-laws, $250,000
You continue to add this and you wonder what are the services being provided? So a lot of providers came and said fraud is occurring — Their home health care networks saying we'll make it worth your while.
Well, sounds like a kickback to me.
So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it's increased since the Somalian population came and who really needs critical care because that's meant for our disabled, our elderly and people who really need it not to just live off our system. And that's what's happening in Ohio. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's despicable."

The practical matter is that Trump put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration, and Trump himself has almost nothing to do with its running. That's the only reason Trump's immigration policy has been so successful, because Miller won't bend, even to Trump, regarding immigration.
But Vance would never get in Miller's way. He's probably ask Miller how he could help him.

I think the comms and internet have essentially pulled back the curtains on the show that ruling elite types have used to get filthy rich by pulling levers in governments.
McConnell is a perfect example of someone who attained generational weath by peddling his ass and caucus to enemies of the Republic like China. Likewise his cronies that he recruited from among our business class and permanent political types.
Schumer, ironically, is getting the same treatment from the left now as they want his old corrupt corpse out so the new grifters of color can assume office for generational wealth. The Dems and the remaining old Guard of GOPe are the ones with the mass media hypnosis problem, MAGA is not which is why populism is likely to win in the long run. It is more attuned to what is true in this society than leftism or centralism is.

His presidential campaign was such a sad sack in 2024 that even worn out party hacks like James Gilmour pitied Pence. I remember reading about one of Pence's events where ONE voter was present and asked a question in an empty room meant for a hundred or so.

The U.S. federal government allocated roughly $4.6 trillion across six major COVID-19 relief bills from 2020-2021, covering direct aid, business support (like PPP), health funding, and economic stimulus, with most funds obligated by early 2023 to tackle the pandemic's fallout, though a small portion remained available for spending.
Key Relief Laws & Major Allocations (Examples):
CARES Act (March 2020): The first major package, including stimulus checks, enhanced unemployment, and PPP loans. (PDT)
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Dec 2020): Extended some aid, added more business relief. (PDT)
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) (March 2021): A massive $1.9 trillion package for vaccines, state/local aid, child tax credits, etc. (Biden)
BTW, the House used proxy voting extensively during the COVID-19 pandemic, including for legislation like the American Rescue Plan (ARP), allowing members to designate others to cast their votes remotely to avoid in-person risks, a rule change implemented in May 2020 that allowed for significant remote participation during the 117th Congress, including ARP's passage in early 2021.

I don't blame any older person for this outlook, since hope springs eternal, and they will probably pass away before the really nightmarish stuff unfolds.
But for younger people, particularly with kids, this is a dangerous and foolhardy attitude. The odds of us "beating them" before they unleash Hell are so low as to approach zero.
If you're in enemy territory, pick a spot in friendly territory where you think survivability is highest, and bolt like a scared rabbit. Don't be like my foolish forebears in Europe who sat around saying "but this is my home" until their homes murdered them.

The consensus from the grand jury was that government negligence and bureaucratic indifference.
For many years, officials concluded that regular inspections would be a "barrier up to women seeking abortions," effectively prioritizing access over enforcement of existing safety laws. Even after complaints were received, including a patient death in 2009, officials failed to investigate.
A 2011 grand jury report concluded that the Pennsylvania Department of Health stopped inspecting abortion clinics "for political reasons" starting in the mid-1990s, which allowed Kermit Gosnell's "house of horrors" clinic to operate for years without oversight.
But you know that so what's your f*cking point? Hit a nerve you and/or your Democratic family have had hands in the till in PA?

Recall all the people praising Nikki Haley during Trump's first term and getting all excited that she could be a potential Presidential candidate one day. Turns out she was never MAGA or conservative, but just following orders while serving for Trump 45 Administration.
No one has any idea who among MAGA is just riding Trump's coattails like Nikki Haley and who is actually MAGA like Trump.

The company shut down its operation at around 8 p.m. because the cars were unable to operate without traffic signals. Residents shared footage of the Waymo vehicles parked with their hazards flashing. At least four Waymo vehicles were parked in the middle of an intersection with their hazards on, creating a large traffic jam at the busy intersection in the North Beach neighborhood.I remain a skeptical of self-driving cars, and I do not want to trust my liberty to anyone who can immobilize me by turning off the electricity.

In all other cases of automation, the result is an improved experience for the user. Robotic manufacturing and logistics is quicker, more precise, can handle much larger and more complicated tasks, and able to work 24/7 for better efficiency.
But what is the improvement for a passenger in a robocar? The car still has to obey speed limits and traffic laws, so the passenger won't get where he's going any faster or easier. Cabs and Ubers already operate 24/7 (albeit swapping out drivers), so it's not like there's any less downtime with a robocar.
This seems like a VC-driven solution in search of a problem.

But... statistics and shit. Elon should know better.
Indeed. he should, and this illustrates how wealth makes complacence, Unimaginative, and BOREDOM driven unachievable goals makes meglomaniacs with more money than talent overlook the obvious solutions.
The surface of this planet is mostly water, were climate change does not exist, composed of a material that can be readily made into breathable oxygen and hydrogen fuel that can be exported for other use at the surface. it is surrounded by abundant materials, food, and resources.
If you believe LIB Strategic Insanity is bad, fElon Mollusk's naked deception of a colony on Mars distracts from his obvious goal of getting funded by the missile mafia of creating bigger and faster missiles to bombard fellow human beings into non-existance -- and that for a handful of rice.
When the Truth hurts, MANFRED takes pride in knowing that he's hit the target. It's time to take not only the Poltico's but those who profit from their folly (Mollusk) to the cleaners, or at least force him to do the dishes.

[Related:] California Shuts Down Its Solar Thermal Plant 13 Years Early
[]"The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility is set to shut down in 2026 after failing to meet its energy targets. Ivanpah is located near the California-Nevada border, 65 miles southwest of Las Vegas. Despite receiving $1.6 billion in federal loan guarantees [in the early 2010s from the DogEater administration], nearly 75% of the facility’s [$2.2 billion] cost, it struggled to generate power and had to rely on natural gas to operate rather than the sun. In January, Pacific Gas & Electric announced an agreement with the plant’s owners to terminate its contracts."

Robots driving might be OK for driving in the city or on well marked highways but where I live they can't function.

I think that is coming in all cars in the future, not just self-driving ones. It will start -- as it always does -- with low-hanging fruit that's already proven to be a very successful camel-nose-in-the-tent: drunk driving.
There is already proposed legislation that would require cars to have built-in breathalyzers. It will be a very short jump from that to remote disabling of your car for dozens of reasons. Oh, you didn't pay your child support? No driving for you! Oh, you didn't pay your parking ticket? You voted for the wrong candidate?

Most cars have it now. Built-in connectivity is usually two-way. It depends on manufacturer, but I'd assume it's the norm.
But it's also pretty easy to defeat if you want to. Cars are pretty dense and radio has trouble getting in, which is why antennae are external. Unplug the cellular antenna and bye-bye connectivity. Also bye-bye "over-the-air" updates and, possibly, your warranty.

I wouldn't. Trade agreements are usually more effective than customs unions, and maintain sovereignty. Customs unions have a way of either failing under cheating by one or more sides (which could be avoided through trade agreements), or becoming a sovereignty-destroying superstate. Not a fan of the concept generally.

They were easily manipulated during the LA immigration riots - they called for a bunch to the same place, then set on fire.

FREEDOM RINGS: 104-year-old World War II veteran Dominick Critelli, who fought at Normandy and in the Battle of the Bulge, wowed the crowd by performing the National Anthem on his saxophone at a New York Islanders game.
Critelli, a staff sergeant who immigrated to the U.S. from Italy when he was a child, spent 151 days in combat during World War II, earning three Bronze Stars.

My son asked for a PS5 for Christmas
I said no
“Son, PlayStation is made by an evil corporation built on worker exploitation”
I got him another electronic gift instead - an EU-approved USB-C cable
He opened it with visible disgust
Then something utterly shocking happened
My wife’s boyfriend Arnold got him the PlayStation my son wanted
“Thank you uncle Arnold” my son hugged him for almost a minute
I pulled my wife aside and explained that her lover is undermining our values
She mumbled “at least he got him a real gift”
The morning after, while my son was still asleep, I took his console and went to the store
Thanks to the wonderful EU consumer protection law, I was able to get a full cash refund of €549
Then I bought a gift for my son that he truly deserves
€549 worth of carbon offset credits
When I came home my son was crying looking for his PS5
I smiled and showed him the carbon certificate
He started shaking and cried even more

They're all profiting from this scam, or one like it, too.
One of the things that's so fascinating about this phase of our history is how America's class system developed, because it's pretty nontraditional. It's not strictly or even mostly hereditary, or even economic, at least not in the traditional sense of economics.
The institutional elite power players and the scum of the gutter have formed a powerful ruling class alliance against the productive subject classes.
So, for instance, Elon Musk is the richest man on earth, but occupies a lower social position with considerably less power and fewer rights than a mid-level DoJ bureaucrat or a literally retarded criminal from a cousin-fucking African hellhole, because he refused to join their club.
It's just Them vs. Us. A straight-up kleptocracy.

Does "substance use" include prescription drugs like ADHD medication and anti-depressants?
Quick check of Grok:
Legitimate antidepressant prescribing among U.S. adolescents and young adults has increased substantially in recent years (up ~66% from 2016-2022, accelerating post-2020, especially among females), reflecting higher reported mental health needs.
Grok full answer: https://bit.ly/497OU65
So U.S. teens are not drinking or using drugs as often as before, but they are drugged up on anti-depressants. Probably, as you said, because they are depressed from spending all their time alone on social media.

NEOM is a planned megacity and economic zone in northwest Saudi Arabia, announced in 2017 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as a cornerstone of Saudi Vision 2030. Spanning about 26,500 square kilometers (roughly the size of Belgium) along the Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba, it aims to diversify the kingdom's oil-dependent economy through innovation, sustainability, and tourism. Powered by 100% renewable energy, it features a car-free, zero-carbon design with advanced AI and robotics. Key regions include: [ ... ]
Internal audits revealed issues like manipulated projections and unrealistic assumptions. Human rights concerns include forced evictions of Bedouin tribes and poor worker conditions. Saudi officials deny major scaling back, calling reviews standard for multi-generational projects, while shifting focus to AI and returns on investment.
NEOM remains a bold symbol of ambition, with some elements advancing amid broader recalibration. Construction continues selectively, but the full futuristic vision appears deferred.

For the life of me, I don't understand this argument. Do you have an oil well and refinery in your backyard? If a dictatorial government wanted to immobilize you, controlling gasoline distribution would be far easier than cutting off electricity—which you can generate locally through solar panels, generators, or other means.

The power in this scene is incredible. The darkling light, the horde beyond count flying over a winter-devastated earth, the pose of every participant is violent, muscles of man and beast stretched in effort, all of these factors add to the desired feel from Norse mythology. No wonder Viking raiders thought northern France and England were worth conquering. At least they have gentler winters. The wild dark power is emphasized by the few points of brightness with the sun (?) pouring through the clouds and smoke, the moon showing dimly through the clouds and the white bodies of the naked women, some participating and some being captured.

Her tragic death is the second fatal shark attack at Lovers Point in 73 years, and the first since a 17-year-old boy was killed in December 1952, according to Mercury News.
She often downplayed the risks, preferring terms like "incident" or "bite" over "attack," and emphasized that humans are "humble guests" in the ocean ecosystem. She wore a shark-deterrent anklet (a Sharkbanz electromagnetic device) during the swim, but it proved ineffective against the ambush-style attack.

Perhaps the sharks have learned that the EM signal is the equivalent of a dinner bell. It reminds me of antiaircraft radars that merely show the attacker exactly where they are.

The woman was attacked off of Lover's Point, in Pacific Grove, CA whereas the body (and the shark) were spotted off of Santa Cruz, CA.
The towns are on opposite sides of Monterey Bay. The shark swam about 25 miles across the bay with the woman's body in its mouth. For a week.

Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy has released a series of instructions for educators to fight anti-DEI initiatives, giving instructions to “anchor equity in strategy.”
Amongst the 'actions' that the school provided for 'practitioners,' instructions urge educators to 'map how power operates-formally and informally-and how identity shapes influence. '

The bigger scandal is that none of the agencies and "non-profits" set up to help the poor do anything other than pay their bloated staffs. One of the major players in helping the poor in our area has an annual budget of less than a mid-grade civil servant's salary, yet helps thousands of people, being staffed entirely by volunteers.
All of it is fake.

My middle daughter enrolled at an art college and did one year there, getting excellent grades and improving her technique.
She decided to leave because the people there were insufferable and realized that art alone was unlikely to pay her bills, and is now pushing ahead with getting a nursing certification.
The days when any generic degree was the ticket to a decent income ended about 20 years ago. The nice thing is that my daughter was in the National Guard, so the state and feds picked up the cost of her tuition, so no debt.

Young right-wingers mentioned her more recent courageous statements.
Others pointed out that when she was pregnant, she tried to force a miscarriage by punching herself in the belly, and, after abortion became legal, had two of them. Apparently, she also continued to refer to her son as a "cancerous tumor".
Lefties, of course, accused her right-wing fans of hypocrisy. What those kids are really guilty of is ignorance.
The smart reply would be to note the irony - that Bardot didn't connect the dots. "Gosh, Brigitte, it is terrible that your country is now flooded with foreigners. The truth is, they're there to fill a void. Maybe, by word and example, you shouldn't have encouraged French women to kill their babies for over half a century."
P.S. Hey, lefties, it's not "inciting racial hatred" to criticize a religion.

Oh, I can answer this from personal experience - after you've become a professional alcoholic, you get a dopamine hit from the taste and feel of the stuff, and it puts you in a mellow mood. But that only lasts for so long; eventually, no matter how much you drink, the 'happiness' effect wears off, your sadness / anger / self-loathing comes rushing back and you end up feeling worse than before.
But then you write it off as a one-off and drink again the next day. A vicious circle.

His poll numbers are dropping like a stone. He is becoming more and more inarticulate in his speech. He is walking poorly and has to sit down to give speeches.
I made a prediction that he would resign before the end of the year. I still see that as a possibility, although it may take a little longer for him to finally cave in and do it.
I feel like he'll blurt out the n word before it's over. Probably to a reporter who is female.
Short of an acute, devastating health event, he will stop at NOTHING to exact revenge on whomever he perceives is causing him distress--even if it hurts his family and even HIMSELF in the aftermath.
I'd prefer a coffin lid to a cell door clanging shut. There are too many bought-and-paid-for judges who can open that cell door for him. Not so with the coffin lid.
He won't step aside voluntarily. He would see that as an acknowledgment of weakness and loss of power. He cannot tolerate that

What I'd like to see before we start messing with the tax code, is-
squeezing out the two trillion or so of graft, corruption give-aways out of the budget that go to leftist organizations and politicians.
With current tax code appropriate punishments for those involved.

We have both.
The Value Illicitly obtained retains no value. money, like potential energy needs to be put to productive use, like energy, otherwise it will disperse, or if incorrectly used, harm it's possessor -- that is the system that is in place.
The problem that exists is that 1) those at the top continue fall-up 2) their value is no longer licity obtained funding the debt-shouldered by their 'lesser/borrowers' 3) they have become supremely complacent, Unimaginitive, and BORED as a consequence which is why politics/Nation/WORLD is the way it is 4) up-down-right-left all are their playthings because there is no consequence to both their action (and indeed, inaction).
Epstein is the poster child of that.
Future events will change all that.
Release, indeed, FREE AND SPONSOR! the HUNTER BIDEN's, the NICK REINER's, the ever now, and future present Epstein's, Clinton's, Soros', the John Walker/American Taliban's, the James Fergie Chambers (Cox Heir and professional revolutionaries) who will proudly do unto their own people PRECISELY what they forbid us to do to our Adversaries.

Correction:
It is very depiction of the War on Normal People that is going on everywhere right now. Where the wealth of the nation is to be held by it's leaders so that they can promote, Propagate and PRECIPITATE WAR on a scale this world has never seen before.
A free and productive people have Absolutely Nothing to gain from War, and, indeed a great deal to Lose. War is made possible when the wealth of a nation is held by it's leaders (Odin) rather than rightly used by its Citizens.
as the congressMONSTERS and euroMONSTER's actively campaign for 25% of their citizen's GDP *AND* the sacrifice of their next generation.
Gee what could go wrong?

The Morning Report — 12/29/25
Israel on Friday announced that it has formally recognized Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office. . . The statement said the declaration was made “in the spirit of the Abraham Accords,” the U.S.-brokered normalization agreements initiated under President Donald Trump. Netanyahu congratulated Abdallah and praised his leadership, citing a shared commitment to stability and peace. Netanyahu invited the Somaliland president to make an official visit to Israel. Abdallah, according to the statement, thanked Netanyahu for what he described as a historic decision and expressed appreciation for Israel’s efforts in combating terrorism and promoting regional peace.For those unaware, Somaliland is not Somalia. It is an independent nation, though technically known only as a "partially recognized state" that borders the latter to the north, but that said it is an Islamic nation and does share ethnic and tribal/clan ties with the Somalia and indeed other peoples of the region. And since that region, the horn of Africa, also encompasses Yemen across the Gulf of Aden from which the Houthi terrorists use as a base to strike Israel as well as international shipping lanes in and out of the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, this is big news. And while Somaliland gained its statehood back in 1960, it's amazing that of all the world's nations Israel is the first to officially recognize Somaliland as an independent nation. If the Somalilanders can be trusted (and given the nature of Islam, that's a pretty big "if") then Israel in theory gains a pretty important foothold in a very strategic area key to its defense. But what's in it for Somaliland to invite open hostility from the broader Islamic/Arab world of which it is a part? I guess as President Trump is so very fond of saying, we'll just have to wait and see. Despite the smiles and the handshakes for the cameras, when things heat up again, as they no doubt will with the so-called 'Palestnians' You know the Somaliland government will not be silent and like eerywhere else will blame the Jews for not cooperating and just dying. But at least for now, perhaps Israel can keep a close eye on the Houthi front which, like so many other fronts is directly and closely connected to Iran. In spite of the decimation of its nuclear sites by both the IDF and USAF and reports of major internal problems, from the collapse of its water infrastructure to growing unrest and disaffection for the Mullahs from there populace, the regime can and no doubt will strike wherever and whenever it can. what happened at Bondi Beach may very well have an Iranian connection.
Back over here, the gargantuan fraud coming out o the Somali immigrant locust cloud primarily in Minnesota just beggars the imagination:
Somali Scammers Allegedly Stole Almost As Much In Minnesota As Entire Somalia GDP — FBI Director Kash Patel announced the agency was already sending additional resources in an X post Sunday, saying the deployment occurred before a 42-minute video of independent journalist Nick Shirley visiting various day care centers went viral Friday. Thompson described the situation as involving “industrial-scale fraud,” according to CBS News Minnesota. (RELATED: YouTuber Nick Shirley Exposes Alleged Somali Daycare Center Which Reportedly Reaped $4,000,000 From Taxpayers) . . Somalia’s GDP was $11.97 billion in 2024, according to a release from the country’s Bureau of National Statistics. Whistleblowers in Maine and Ohio have alleged similar schemes by Somali scammers have taken place in those states.
And speaking of Minnesota, this bastard needs to be dealt with:
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Says if Deportation Operations Continue Minnesota Residents Will Start Killing ICE Agents . . . However, Mayor Frey did say if the ICE deportation operations continue, ICE agents are likely to be killed. The obvious question is, ‘who will do the killing, Jacob‘?Good question. There is no doubt that many millions of dollars of that grift wound up int eh pockets of Frey and Walz as payoffs for political protection. Considering they control the state and local governmental bureaucracies that distribute the funds, without them I doubt that the graft could ever have become so large and widespread. There's shoplifting but this is driving a tractor trailer into a warehouse full of furs and cleaning it out wholesale. Considering that a hefty percentage of what was grifted no doubt wound up in the hands of terrorists in Somalia, Perhaps Somaliland making nice with Israel is an act of self preservation on the part of the Somalilanders, given the nature of tribalism. Something to consider.
Meh, who needs Islamic terrorists or Chi-Coms, when we have people like this, running our government and charged with keeping us safe. . .

I hate this framing, but it is probably inevitable.
The Somali scammers stole it, yes, but this puts *all* of the blame on them. They done did it, but they were *not* working in a vacuum. They were being enabled a every step by the government of Minnesota, which was a partner in these crimes.
The dominant framing of this story - "Somali scammers did X, Y and Z" - absolves the Minnesota government by default, which is bullshit. This isn't simple retail fraud or theft. This isn't a con man selling you bogus sweepstakes one-on-one. it is an organized crime syndicate with major partners in the government.

It's not just Somalis. Every immigrant group that has a mass presence in one or more locales probably is doing this.

No chance to do the plant equivalent of "shoot, shovel and shut up" in a circumstance like that one.
This is distressingly common. Rule-following is desired, demanded and fully supported - not thinking.
In Maui, they didn't turn the water on because they couldn't get authorization from Honolulu and everyone followed the rules.
In Flint, they followed every rule about changing over the water source, but nobody stopped to think. Thinking was unnecessary, since the rules were followed.
In LA, they didn't bulldoze because they were following the rules.
The costs of compliance are collectively high and the costs of non-compliance are personally high. Nobody who breaks the rules to save lives and property is going to get a medal. Nobody who says, "hey, everything is compliant but this is a bad and dangerous idea" is going to get a promotion. Those people will get arrested, fined or fired.
So they follow the rules, and damn the consequences. Bureaucratic procedures and accountability avoidance demand it.

Not at all. Plants have nothing to do with it. Rules have everything to do with it.
Rules >> reason
It's an invulnerable, immune bureaucracy where breaking a rule - however sensible or justified such breaking would be - results in personal destruction of the rule-breaker and following a rule - however senseless and unjustifiable following the rule may be - results in a paycheck and the cover of bureaucratic immunity.

Of course not, but that is irrelevant. Not *all* of them are profoundly stupid, and the scam isn't all that elaborate. The stupider ones can be mules and go sign papers as directed.
This wasn't some hugely complex operation with signs for free birdseed where absolutely everything had to go right. These were mostly pretty simple scams: just make up an unbelievable lie, have your buddy on the inside pretend it's all good, and take the money.
This isn't complicated. It's just obscene.

In my opinion - so it's worth what you pay for it - we've crossed back over the optimal line on this thanks to electronics and regulations. Cramming in more gadgets or squeezing out one more fractional MPG or suppressing one more pound of net "carbon" emissions has been reducing reliability and longevity for a while now.
I think the peak of automotive engineering might have been the late 90s through the early to mid aughts. Mechanically, things were extremely sound for most manufacturers and models. Engines and transmissions lasted more or less forever and the cars were integrated and computerized enough to nail efficiency very well but still remain reasonably serviceable. They are more efficient now and mechanical reliability (outside of crazy big transmissions with 10 speeds, etc.) is still very good but serviceability has taken a huge hit.

Investing means stocks or real estate, gold and silver was an excellent alternative to holding the US dollar. For a long time stuffing US dollars under the mattress was a prudent thing to do around the world. Americans didn’t need to worry about such things.
Historically I think practically every currency has been demonetized or de-valued, bonds and debt repudiated, economic “reforms”. I can’t think of any exceptions off the top of my head. Small size Federal Reserve notes from 1914 are still technically legal tender. That’s a pretty good run, might be a record.

Yes. My '03 Buick Park Avenue was a marvel to drive, maintain, feed, and repair. Enough electronics to be useful, but no wild things like heated/cooled seats or a heated steering wheel, radar, rear camera, etc. Yes, I like the camera in the LaCrosse. But you need it because of the smallish and steeply angled rear window; you can't see anything out there. The PA didn't have that kind of styling.

“I categorically reject the recognition of Qatar as a state.
Qatar is not a state.
It is a family business,

It finances terror and bloodshed and exports Islamist indoctrination across the west.”

But when you study the Collapse of Complex Civilizations, you find that the tick wins and the host dies.
Doing more research based on the Colossus of Nebuchadnezzar's dream, from it emerges a repeating pattern, the hypothesis commonly known in the vulgar form: "Strong men create Good Times..."
It happens to a lot of organizations not just countries and empires. UK is at the feet of iron mixed with clay stage (sun never sets on the UK empire was the gold head) and the US appears to be there too.
What comes after? Something very different and not composed of the original structure (that is why the Colossus doesn't go to tin then wood).

I have two Jeep Cherokees (XJ) in various trims, both with the 4.0L and had a 95 Grand Cherokee with the 5.2L
the I6 gets, at best about 22mpg after 100k miles and from the factory floor had 190hp. (the Wrangler (YJ) had a more restrictive exhaust and lost 10 ponies)
Other than accessories or cooling system (radiator, water pump) the engines needed only oil, filter and plug changes. 25+ years of no engine/transmission malfunction in daily driving. Dittos with the 95 ZJ with the 5.2
So yes, the 90s and early 00s, for me (three out of three) were mechanically most stable.
We will see what the Genesis with the 3.5L and 400+ HP and equivalent mileage will do.

She gets the bill from DHL. They were charging her an exorbitant fee for the shipping. Now, my wife gets that tariffs increase prices but not by that much. She challenges it and demands an explanation.
The reply is that they add that much for copper and steel imports. She immediately fires back that it's cotton. Gets a template answer of 5-7 business days for this to be resolved. And if she doesn't pay them the full amount now, the package goes back to the shipper. She pays but still tries to fight. Goes as far to demand an invoice. Nothing.
At my suggestion, she files a fraud complaint with PayPal. Not even ten minutes later, DHL assures her that they will investigate the matter. And she will be firing off an email to Seido to politely suggest they use a different shipping company.

Yet another 'conservative' commentator spouting off, stirring emotions, without giving consideration to the facts on the ground.
There is no "rule of law" in the US. Blue favored groups and politicians can get away with anything in blue states because the residents of those states put Blue Über Alles.
Deporting people? Think about the difficulty the administration has had just deporting fucking murderers because of the judges. But, sure, blame the administration. Throw out the concept of MAGA because the other side fights back and everything isn't easy. Get the voters who're on our side black-pilled or poised to embrace a radical agenda which isn't MAGA because their emotions are running at the fever pitch.

Another clown judge dismissed with prejudice an asshole who tried to block ICE.
Because he had to wait an hour or something in detention before he got his attorney there.
Now, I'm fully on board with protecting Constitutional right.
But these same clown judges were bending over backwards, shitting all over the Constitution to guarantee prosecution of J6
The blue states and the Judiciary are actively engaged in insurrection and rebellion against the United States. .

They have good brakes. They use a metallic pad, and soft steel rotors. Lots of brake dust and dirty wheel rims seemed to be the common denominator on all the cars there. Maybe even noisy. But they will stop on a dime.
I asked about getting the rotors turned, and they looked at me like I’d just pushed my grandmother down the stairs. LOL. They don’t do that “over there”.

I think that there is a suicide pact with the trading nations and a huge reason for why the Europeans currencies merged into one traded currency. Also why China is not transparent about their currency.
None of the world's trading partners wants their currency to stay relatively stronger or weaker than its partners/competitors (for a myriad of reasons) so when Europe does stupid shit that causes their currency to lose value, Japan, US and other trading partners need to do same so that the arbitrage between the currencies is such that currency wreckers don't come in Soros the Central Bank.
How the various nations hurt themselves is left up to the Davos crowd and the personal schemes devised by the usual political grifters.

Why Obama made Kamala pick Waltz.
Obama removed all oversight on DOJ settlements.
Tony West, Kamala's BIL, ran that division, confidential 100s of millions in settlements, laundered to far left law firms.
Using the Somalias as willing, largely ignorant, patsies.
Michelle got in on the action with her "healthy lunch" scam.
That's how they salted away a war chest for lawfare today.
And billions hidden for campaign donations.
At the top of all these fraud pyramids are rich leftists.
The middle men who facilitate this fraud are the law firms.
I guarantee the same law firm that got the Somalia visas are the same that formed their LLC the same that worked hand in glove with the accounting firm to whitewash the annual audits.

If you’re a CA resident as of January 1, 2026 you’ll owe 10% of your wealth even if you subsequently move. It’s insanity…. They have until Wednesday to register a new primary address other than CA.

A lot of wealth is tied up in physical assets like real estate.
Wealth is not income. You don't "earn" wealth in a particular state, you can earn an income.
It gets more fun when the wealth is held by a living trust or other legal entity and the "rich guy" has as much access and enjoyment of the wealth in the role of administrator.

"Only"? That's 450,000 too many.
I prefer to imagine America with only 0 immigrants a year for a period of the next 10-20 years.
When your home has been flooded, you cannot begin to repair it until you first remove all the water.
The same applies to illegal aliens. Until every last illegal alien has been deported, it makes zero sense to allow in any more immigrants. Since every last person involved with the immigration process must be focused on deportation of illegal aliens.
That said, I will not be holding my breath that this will ever happen in my lifetime.

- You could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn't need it, make about $75,000 to $90,000 a year.
- Now you add 2 parents, that's $180,000
- Now you add your in-laws, $250,000
You continue to add this and you wonder what are the services being provided? So a lot of providers came and said fraud is occurring — Their home health care networks saying we'll make it worth your while.
Well, sounds like a kickback to me.
So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it's increased since the Somalian population came and who really needs critical care because that's meant for our disabled, our elderly and people who really need it not to just live off our system. And that's what's happening in Ohio. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's despicable."

No one is killed by "radical Islam". Everyone killed by Muslims is killed by Islam. There is no "radical" vs "moderate" or "regular" Islam. There is only Islam. Islam itself is what a normal person would call "radical".
Islam is a totalitarian death cult and political ideology hell bent on world conquest and subjugation under the ideology and laws of Islam.
Until people in positions of power and influence can state this confidently and unapologetically, we cannot even begin to defeat Islam.

This may have been the early signs of problems in Minnesota
According to her most recent filing, Ilhan Omar's net worth is estimated to be ~$30M
That's a 66,000% increase since 2019
The increase appears to be from her husband who started a Venture Capital firm in 2022 which recently scrubbed all officials data from it's website
But that's just the start
According to the NYP, another $5M of that comes from a California Winery which not only had allegations of fraud but was declared a failure in 2023
However in 2024, the Winery suddenly shot up to ~$5M in value, yet they have allegedly not sold a bottle, posted anything on social media since 2023, & their phone number is no longer in service
Another very weird coincidence is in 2018, Omar held her 2018 victory party at "Safari Restaurant"
Then, in 2020 Ilhan Omar MEALS Act in Congress which relaxed oversight of government sponsored children’s meals programs during the pandemic
The DOJ then found the owner of that restaurant, Salim Ahmed Said, guilty of stealing more than $12 million for serving 3.9 million “phantom” meals during the pandemic

Unless/until everyone involved in these fraud schemes face the maximum punishment allowed by law and go to prison, every illegal alien is deported, every legal alien has their citizenship revoked and are reported... none of this matters.
Exposure means nothing. Prison time for leaders and deportations and banishments for everyone else is all that matters.
Remember the massive fraud with ACORN. The right crowed about how the fraud was exposed. Meanwhile, nothing happened. ACORN simply reorganized under a different name and went on with their fraud. But James O'Keefe made a name for himself while accomplishing nothing of consequence.

Looking at this roster of people in TPUSA, there does not seem to be anyone who would resonate the same way. They all appear to be content creators concerned only with their own popularity.

Without explicitly stating the groups he was discussing, the Val-d’Oise MP, who was born in France to Congolese (DRC) and Angolan parents, urged people to “show them that we are more numerous and that we are more intelligent.”
“If we’ve had more children than them, too bad for them. If they wanted to have children, they should have just loved each other, made love, and had children. We managed to have them. Our mothers managed to raise us properly,” Bilongo continued.

Daily Tech News 29 December 2025
Top Story
- My PC, it will not boot.
I rm'ed * while su root.
Now maybe Gemini and Grok will be able to find this.
- Did Qualcomm strangle Arduino by changing its terms of use after the acquisition?
Yes says competitor Adafruit. No says Qualcomm. (The New Stack)
Well that's to be expected. How about a neutral and trustworthy third party?
No says the EFF.
Does that settle things?
Given how long the article is, I'd say it doesn't. While the hardware is nominally still open, users are pushed heavily toward cloud services that are not open in any sense of the word.
Tech News
- Memory prices are expected to increase another 45% in 2026. (Notebook Check)
Laptop prices are expected to increase by 20% to account for this - or I should say predicted to increase by 20%, because I expect far worse.
Which is why I snapped up 256GB of RAM and 8TB of SSDs at pre-apocalypse prices.
- If you play Rainbow Six Siege you just got an unexpected Christmas present: Two billion credits in in-game currency valued at $13.3 million. (Bleeping Computer)
Not out of the kindness of Ubisoft's heart - they don't have one - but reportedly as part of a much broader hack that penetrated their network via the MongoDB vulnerability.
Just two days ago I was wondering what kind of idiot would run a publicly accessible MongoDB server. Guess now we know.
Or not if they are lying. But the hack itself definitely happened. There are an estimated 85 million registered accounts for Rainbow Six Siege. If all of them received the bonus credits, that's about a quadrillion dollars.
- You could buy 100 quadrillion robots for that kind of money. (Tom's Hardware)
Very very small robots, but what do you want for a penny?
- OpenAI is looking for a new head of preparedness. (Tech Crunch)
Have they tried the Boy Scouts?
- As AI gobbles up chips, prices for devices may rise. (NPR)
Thanks NPR. Always with the timely news of things that happened two months ago.
- Z80AI is an LLM that runs on a Z80. (GitHub)
Yes, in 64k of RAM. It actually fits in 40k.

Notsothoreau, those FreeGeek computers look pretty good. The low state (74% or so) of battery charge on the listings I looked at is a little concerning, and they don't offer any warranty or tech support. Still, to have a newer MacBook Air or a Dell PC laptop with Linux already installed for $250 is pretty attractive.

I need to decide if I want to go to Owensboro, KY -- which I liked, but the house listings I see are not exciting to me -- or check out Terre Haute, which does have houses I like a lot. I could, of course, just take a furnished apartment in Evansville, about halfway between the two, and look around while I'm on the ground.
It all seems daunting, packing up and moving with the cats, but I've gotta grit my teeth and do it.

They're not only located in Texas, Fen, though they may have started there. They're a Western wear store with boots (Hannity used to advertise for them) and other clothing. I need a second pair of boots. I've looked at the three Western stores here in town and don't see any models I like that I can afford. So, if I have to pay through my nose and ears, I want to get something I *really* like. They may have "last call" or clearance items as well.

Well, I only have two rooms. But there is twenty years and more of "stuff" here. I'll ditch some things, of course. But the really daunting thing is the idea of living out of boxes down toward the end, when I have to start packing the things I need for everyday -- bathroom supplies, kitchen, etc.

I've had pretty good luck on Ebay but most lsptops are sold there without hard drives. You need to do your research on the laptops you are interested in. Free Geeks used to train people to build their own computer, which they would get for free. I've bought some computers and parts from the store pre Covid. They have a really good selection of stuff right now though.

Doing pretty good. This is my first Christmas as a widower, and she had made the celebration wondrous, with her decorating skills, panoply of Christmas treasures on display, and bespoke gifts. So there is some grief in my life.
However, I had a wonderful day on Christmas. Went to visit NotSoThoreau. Her cooking was restorative. Kerry Gold butter for the win.

You consider what it costs per month.
You estimate how long it will be there and calculate the total.
Then you estimate how much it would cost to replace that stuff with new versions of the same stuff.
Are you saving any money?
The exception of course is irreplaceable heirlooms and artifacts.
Based on anecdotal evidence of the number of storage unit business you see driving around just about anywhere lots of people must think it's worth it.

It remains to be seen.
It was a bit intimidating.
He's used to a good old fashioned computer with a good old fashioned keyboard and a good old fashioned mouse.
He's never had a smart phone so not experienced in things like pinch and zoom. Never used a keyboard that pops up on demand. Tiny little buttons are hard to hit exactly because a fingertip is only so accurate.

Very nice of them. The gift cards are usually to Tim Hortons, and although that chain has gone downhill, their breakfast sandwiches are solid (if expensive) so I'll use them for that.

Modern day journalism school
The bridge carrying traffic over the Salt River on County Road 104 near Alpine, Wyoming, doesn't look like something born of battlefield necessity. It's a single-lane, 130-foot span of galvanized steel, functional and utilitarian, the kind of structure motorists cross without a second thought. But according to Eugene Sobecki, director of national sales and military business development for Acrow — the New Jersey-based company that designed and supplied it — this modular bridge that was recently put up is a direct descendant of one of World War II's most consequential engineering innovations: the Bailey Bridge.Cool story. Check out the whole thing. ----- Has our Wednesday ONT host been to Chile? 160-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Footprints Discovered in Chile
The paleontologists identified a total of five track-bearing levels within the Majala Formation in the Quebrada Huatacondo area of Chile. The footprints were produced by theropod and sauropod dinosaurs approximately 160 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic epoch.----- Street art is kewl!
Made You Smile (9 Photos) Found Street Art Cleverly Using Its Surroundings (12 Photos) ----- Booze news. The real reason 7 major distilleries filed for bankruptcy in 2025 as fewer Americans are drinking than ever
The alcohol industry has been hit with multiple bankruptcy filings, with A.M. Scott Distillery, a distillery in Troy, Ohio, following six other major distilleries seeking bankruptcy protection, according to USA TODAY. Another filing came in August with Luca Mariano Distillery, located in Danville, Kentucky. Before that, two distilleries, JJ Pfister Distilling Co. of Sacramento, California and Devils River Distillery of San Antonio, Texas filed in May. House Spirits Distillery of Portland, Oregon, filed for bankruptcy in April. Two more companies declared bankruptcy in March: Boston Harbor Distillery of Boston, Massachusetts, and Lee Spirits Co. of Monument, Colorado.Headline says "major distillers", but those all seem like smaller craft distillers to me. Regardless, the industry is definitely going through changing times. Consumer demand is changing and tariffs are also a factor. Is the bourbon boom of the early 21st century over? Perhaps. I do know that I'm seeing a lot more stuff on shelves lately that for a long time was less widely available.
1. Sequin Season in Full Swing
Sequins are the star of NYE, catching every light as midnight approaches. Go all-out with a head-to-toe mini dress or keep it easy with a sequined top paired with tailored pants—pure celebration, no fuss required. From Show Me Your Mumu:
Velvet has been everywhere this holiday season, offering that plush, sophisticated touch as a lovely alternative to sparkle. Deep burgundy, emerald green, and sapphire blue feel luxurious. A velvet blazer over a slip dress is festive and timeless. From around the web (inspired by The Knot and Savvy Southern Chic):
Silver, gold, and bronze metallics bring that sense of prosperity and bright beginnings—perfect for welcoming 2026. Go bold with a metallic slip dress or keep it casual with a shimmering top over jeans. From Who What Wear vibes:
A faux fur-trimmed coat or jacket adds instant elegance and a touch of old-Hollywood glamour—plus it keeps you warm moving from chilly outdoors to festive indoors. Options with that Marie Claire glamour:
• Glam Cocktail Party: Sequin or metallic mini dress + strappy heels + minimalist earrings.
• Upscale Dinner: Velvet midi in emerald or burgundy + faux fur stole + pointed boots.
• Cozy Home Gathering: Metallic top + darker jeans + velvet blazer + comfy flats.
• Dance-All-Night Vibes: Thigh-slit sequin dress + over-the-knee boots + bold red lip Versatile Picks That Last Beyond NYE
The best part of these trends? They're truly investment-worthy. A metallic blouse works beautifully with denim for winter brunches, and a jewel-tone velvet piece will carry you through events in 2026. Mix affordable finds from H&M or Zara with your classic staples for glamour that feels just right. Here's to closing out 2025 on a high note and stepping into 2026 with confidence and a little sparkle. What will you be wearing to toast the new year, y'all? ----- Thanks, Piper! Your weekly fashion segment has been a great addition to the Sunday ONT this year. Thank you for answering the Horde's call to bring back a weekly fashion segment here to the pages of AOSHQ.

Things are about to get much worse for the Somali fraud criminals and their enablers.
I just spoke with a senior FBI source who tells me that the agency has surged investigative criminal units into Minneapolis and predicts “public takedowns” of Somali fraudsters soon.
The official told me they are keenly aware of Nick Shirley’s investigation and it “tracks” with ongoing FBI criminal work in the area.
“Billions in stolen federal dollars through fraudulent businesses. These are serious federal crimes which may result in severe fines, decades of prison sentences and potential deportations.”
The official directed me to the recent 78 criminal indictments against Somali fraudsters for stolen COVID payments as an example of what is to come. ...etc

Of course over time the corruption got deeper and more intertwined in all institutions, and then deficit spending allowed even greater grifts ... but those mafias have been at it forever, and then they got most of media as well.

Just finished watching an odd little 1946 film noir on Movies!, Deadline at Dawn. It's based on a Cornell Woolrich story -- not sure if it was a novel or a short work -- and with script by Clifford Odets. It's a delight to see a young Susan Hayward as she was beginning her climb to stardom, plus Paul Lukas and a raft of other character actors who etch a small portrait of a summer night in a New York with strangely empty streets. A standout bit features a janitor who rushes his cat to a vet, only to find she has died of eating a chicken bone. He closes the carrier, stands up slowly, says in a dull voice, "She was my only companion," and shuffles away into the night. Affecting stuff.

- The islands with active volcanos are sinking.
- The older islands have landslides and otherwise erode and rebound.

- The islands with active volcanos are sinking.
- The older islands have landslides and otherwise erode and rebound.
IIRC, the Hawaii islands are created as the continental plate slides over a "hot spot" that builds a new island, and the island eventually moves away to the west, where it erodes away. This, of course, is not exactly a speedy process.

So, after we slit the scalp from the top of the skull to the base at the back, we then peel the flesh off the skull and remove it. Next, and this very important, stitch the eyes and mouth shut. We can't have the spirits of our enemies escaping to do us harm. Finally, smoke the heads over a fire for 24 to 48 hours until a nice tanned, leathery finish is achieved.

It can take a few weeks. It hard to tell since it depends on when the baby passed. I had one miscarriage before I had my first son at 35 and another when I was 49. Both times I tested positive and then had no heartbeat at the first sonogram around 8-12 weeks... miscarriage happened a few weeks later in both cases.

As it stands right now, this is absolutely true. However, the economic plan that Trump set in motion starting on Liberation Day, continuing with the OBBB, and set up with DOGE is all going to come together starting next year/next week. It will become obvious to the weak sisters in the GOP that Trump really is the strong horse. We began to see that with the Q3 GDP and inflation numbers. Don isn't on the ticket, but everyone knows that he is. That's why he's doing a midterm convention to remind everyone what's at stake. By the time June comes around, everyone will know that it's Morning In America once again.
I wasn't worried about the 2024 elections for a nanosecond, and I'm not worried about the midterms either. Trump's got this well in hand.

Right. I'll believe it when I see it. None of these fraudsters ever receive any of the punishment they deserve. And because of that, the fraud continues.
No one went to prison for the mortgage lending fraud that led to 2008 economy crash. No one went to prison for all the fraud and lies of the Plandemic. No one went to prison for the rigged and stolen 2020 election. No one has faced any consequences for the black op during the January 6, 2021 protest/rally. No one went to prison for the 10+ million illegals allowed into USA over past 4 years.
Until every single Somali is deported, Walz is in prison and Ilhan Omar has her citizenship revoked and is deported, none of this matters a whit.
Exposing fraud means nothing. Punishment for fraud is all that matters.

The Democrats want to advance the progressive ball.
The GOP mainly wants to keep everything stable, which locks in the previous Dem advances.
What is needed is a party solely devoted to undoing the Dem's advances, by repealing all of their phony laws and programs, but the GOP keeps telling us that they are not that party. So the anti-progressive enthusiasm goes away until the next round of horrors, and we hope again that the GOP learnt its lesson *this* time.

A forthcoming space telescope mission I'm getting all hepped up about is the Nancy Grace Roman observatory, which will join James Webb at L2.
That thing will be able to detect exoplanets like nothing before, down to near Moon mass objects. It will be able to detect exomoons orbiting exoplanets, and even be able to optically image large exoplanets (Jupiter mass and such not too far away).
This thing is ahead of schedule and will likely launch late next year.

I wrote: I have never watched Die Hard. And I doubt I ever will. I am pretty sick of the memes, though. Beat it to death hard.
BarelyScaryMary replied: I haven't seen Die Hard in years. I remember liking it, though. Bruce Willis was always enjoyable and Alan Rickman was a delightful villain.
Thanks, Mary, for the recommendation. I do like both actors, and I hear the movie is good, just not (usually) that into "action" flicks. Maybe because if I have time for a movie, it'll be with MiladyJo. I liked London has Fallen.
Then someone posing as Harumpf Squared replied to me: I don't like this thing I've never seen, and I don't like you continuing to like it either.
As the Bart Simpson meme goes, "What an odd thing to say." I had no complaint about the movie itself; sure don't care what others like. I get a little weary of the glut of It's a Christmas Movie memes.
That said, one I thought clever and amusing: at the Council of Nicea, St. Nicholas slaps Arius because he insists Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. Heh.

Are you retarded?
The 'positive' you want to run with I've responded to sarcastically. And I feel like I'm insulting everyone here by explaining it, and some of them don't deserve it.
The SC isn't actually reliable. At all. They still look for excuses to back up the D judges where they feel they can get away with it.
More importantly, they're a different branch of government, that House Republicans in particular have no influence on them. The lazy shits in the senate can try to get some mileage on SC picks, but House pubbies need to point elsewhere for some example of doing anything at all.
I don't know, maybe they could pass the full repeal of obamacare they had no problem voting for like 50 times before Trump was elected. For example.

Yes, I can say that from my general experience, most of them are dumber than dog shit. I was down at the Franklin County Courthouse (Columbus, Ohio) with my then teen-aged son, over a legal scrape he was in. There was a Somali there that looked like an absolute moron, no exaggeration.
My guess is that some slick operators taught them this. I would also guess that a lot of the fraud money has gotten kicked back to Democrat party apparatchniks. And then laundered elsewhere.

There was a massive paper smash, 50M digital ounces traded in 15 minutes before China opened. Price is back above $80…
Now we wait for London's reaction with LBMA-silver-drain continuing to threaten their ability to operate in 2026 followed by New York's ongoing insatiable demand for physical.
Also will be watching more closely into rumors of a Fed bailout of a bank that was forced to close out a short position... if there was indeed some sort of emergency overnight liquidity injection -- for now, just rumors, but for the banks that are heavily short in Europe or in the U.S., it might have been better to be liquidated first than last in line.
The losses are turning into the tens of billions (unrealized) and growing. God forbid this keeps shooting past $100/ounce over the coming week(s) and even higher. The faster this goes, the faster it blows... implodes!

Nicks Cigar World A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

Took the PPQ and did some faster drillls focusing on changing marks on the target. Side to side, a little faster than one shot per second (which is fast for me). Had to manage recoil amd sight alignment while changing focus to a different mark.
Did well.
I wonder if it would be ok to shoot a moving target. Start at 25 yards and hit the return button on the target and shoot as it approaches me.

Just wondering if there was maybe a standard "competition" height. The right height for me is going to be way too high for Mrs fd. I suppose I could make two though.

Bingo!!!
Never read these books before. They are a good read.
Interesting hearing them describe how much better the rifles were over the musket with the only drawback being it took longer to load the rifle as the bullet had to be wrapped in greased leather so it would catch the rifling of the barrel.

The other annoying thing is that those tiny screws are torqued so tight that it's hard to get them out even when you do find the right size. And, supposedly, the screws are made of softer steel than you find on rifles made by, for example, American manufacturers, so it's easy to mess them up. I bought three extra screws online, just in case.

Connoisseur cartridge to be sure. That being said, the biggest regret I never purchased was a used Model 57 in 41 Magnum and a few days later, I passed on a NIB Marlin 1894 (JM marked) elsewhere (before Remington) lever action in the same cartridge. By the time, I reconsidered, both were sold.

Ironically, the .41 Magnum was intended to provide the ideal cartridge for law enforcement, and was pushed upon
both Smith & Wesson and Remington by Elmer Keith, Bill Jordan, and other notable handgunners.
The police load that was originally suggested was a 210-220 grain lead semi wadcutter, pushed at around
950 to 1000 fps. The first load to appear, however, came quite close to duplicating the performance of the 44 Magnum, causing police administrators to give the 41 little more than a cursory glance. Eventually, (too late) Remington did produce a reduced loading, more in line with the original intent of the cartridge.
Those who touted the .357 accused the 41 of generating too much recoil. On the other extreme, fans of the 44 Magnum viewed the 41 as nothing better than “second best". In truth, it should be a 'mama bear' round, "just right".

I would wager that it was the crud in the striker channel as that causes light primer strikes normally. Slows the striker down. Rarely it can be a headspace issue on a very worn firearm.
Guide rod issues manifest differently as in loading issues and extraction/ejection.

Connoisseur cartridge to be sure. That being said, the biggest regret I never purchased was a used Model 57 in 41 Magnum and a few days later, I passed on a NIB Marlin 1894 (JM marked) elsewhere (before Remington) lever action in the same cartridge. By the time, I reconsidered, both were sold.
Posted by: whig at December 28, 2025 08:09 PM
I passed on a Model 57 for less than 750, I think. And that was after talking to Duncanthrax, who would not commit to me buying it with his money.

There was a story, not sure if it was true, that one of the (very few) police departments that converted to the .41, not knowing there were two different loads, proceeded to issue the hunting ammo to their cops for use in their 4" revolvers. Hilarity and Hijinks ensued.

I managed to secure a similar NIB .41 Marlin 1894 from a LGS for ~1/2 of the then going price. They'd been out of production for a while, and the price had been bid up.
I've been hoping Ruger would bring it back. I'm surprised that 10mm is coming first. It will be interesting to see how they engineer using a rimless cartridge.

Two (that I know) of the PDs that adopted it were San Antonio and San Francisco. the SFPD had that exact problem, particularly with women, who were beginning to come onto the force.
I shoot full .41 Mags out of a 657 Mountain Gun. It's certainly doable, but not something I'd enjoy putting in 100+ rounds in a session. Full-on .41 and .44 Mags really aren't duty rounds for police, IMO.
Of course, even Dirty Harry shot .44 Specials.

Actually worked on them in a way distant past life…anyone remember Western Electric?
They were the manufacturing and installation arm of Ma Bell, way back when.
I worked for them, and actually installed and wired these relays. It was called a number 5 crossbar system, and the relay racks were 12’ tall. It was fascinating. The ladders to get to the top and in between that and ground level were rolling ladders on tracks. Starting about 10:00 am, the clicking and chattering of all those relays approached deafening. I LOVED that job!
Anyone know of the wiring method called wire-wrapping? I lived it for years…
On another note, I’m looking at a 10mm to replace my Kimber 45acp. It’s just a boomer, and I want something a little more tame, but with bigger teeth than my 9.
Saw a S&W performance center one that looks extremely nice. But I also saw an Sig that was equally as nice looking.
Gotta go and do the touch-and-feel thing, but can I get a couple of opinions from our expert horde?

Easier to design rifles around rimless than rimmed.
Rimmed cartridges came from an era of bad brass and mercuric primers that softened the brass even more. The rims sealed the chamber from gas events from head separations etc. New rifle cartridges have been rimless for a long time while there are very few rimmed rifle cartridges still around. Still useful in handgun cartridges for revolvers as the extractor star works far better than any of the hodge podge alterations (moon clips, Charter's system for rimless retention in cylinders, etc.)

Almost all of the Kydex makers can accomodate a light. I've tried a number, and keep coming back to Vedder. Look at their website, and if Crimson isn't listed, an email will get a quick response as to if they can. They've accommodated some non-standard requests from me.
Some of the leather makers do, as well. I currently like Wright Leather.

I still have some wire-wrap tools stashed away.
I'm not sure you'll find 10mm less of a boomer than .45 ACP. (Full disclosure, 10mm is my 2nd fav cal, behind .41M.) In what may surprise some here, given my overall disdain for Gaston's products, the Glock 20 is my main 10mm launcher. I'm not a big fan of many 1911 platforms that have been slightly adapted for 10mm (early Colt Delta Elites, I'm looking at you). The Sig, particularly in the Legion trim, is very nice.

One regrettable anecdote from my wife's hospital stay - she was intubated, a state that would naturally agitate just about any of us, and she was fighting against the restraints they had to use. A nurse came in and effectively yelled at her, "You need to calm down!" My daughter, who had the bedside watch at that time, had to suppress an intrusive desire to thwack that insensitive nurse upside the head, but discretion prevailed.

Most of her medical care was outstanding, leaving the 'calm down' nurse as an outlier. But, given the season, I was willing to extend a tiny little bit of grace to her.

Any good bench-rest shooters here?
I have an AR10 that I built as best as I could after a lot of research - I rank myself at about 6 out of 10 for bench rest shooting skills,and have gotten many 0.7 MoA groups out of it. I'm interested in seeing what someone who really knows their business could get out of it. I have little doubt that it could do quite a bit better with somebody who knew WTF they were doing.
In a nutshell: Bartlein/Craddock barrel, Diamond triggertech, JP SCS and the best assembly/fitting practices I could find.
Best ammo tried is Federal Gold Medal Match and Swiss P Sniper RUAG, but darn near everything shoots great out of it (except for True Velocity, that stuff is total shit).
Anyone willing to give it a try in the 2026 meetup?

So you cut the foot instead of the cap of your Gol? Should work fine usually. It's *lighting* the wrong end that can get interesting. Sometimes you get unwrapping if you cut the foot end, depends on how clean a cut.

In the Basque Country in Spain a number of firearms manufactures took advantage of Spanish laws to allow them to manufacture and market “unregistered” patents, which generally were foreign designs that were developed and held by patent holders that had not paid fees to the Spanish crown.
Orbea Hermanos obtained a Spanish patent for the manufacture of a revolver based on the S&W design called the “Pistola Rewolver[sic] ONA” Ona meaning “good” in Basque. This style of pistol was called the “Smith” generally. It was also called the “Euskaro” meaning “Basque” in that language. For some reason the .44 version was called “Number 7” by Orbea Hermanos.
This was later adopted as the official military sidearm in Spain, and was used in the Philippine rebellion where lots were captured by the rebels and used in turn against the Spanish, Americans and Japanese.

But...did go to range. Did some .22 shooting with my G44. I had 3 rounds fail to ignite using Federal Automatch. Normally this ammo is fine but 3 failures in 100 rounds is sad.
Also put a box of 147gr through my G17 which did fine at 10 yards. Not perfect, I tended to throw the first round wild-ish but the second round is tight.

Food Thread: Lies, Damned Lies, And Wine Reviewers
Massive Recall due to Rodent and Bird Feces Interesting! Gold Star Distribution is headquartered in Minneapolis, its CEO is Bassam AbuSamrah, and they seem to supply a lot of Halal grocers and other places that have 3rd World-sounding names. Remind me again about how diversity is our strength, and how immigration is a marvelous addition to our country.
I ate in a few diners this week, one of which offered black beans instead of potatoes. I had forgotten just how good they are, because food for me is...SQUIRREL!... Anyway, I have made Homesick Texan's Basic Black Beans recipe, and it is excellent. And yes, she has a long write-up before the recipe, but she also knows how to write, unlike most of the food website writers on the planet, so you won't get any complaints from me!
A friend graciously gave me some genuine grown-in-the-USA garlic, and I tasted one clove and planted the rest, because my pathetic failure last year is an anomaly...right? I hope so, because it's in the ground (actually, a large pot), and it had better work this time! Send all of your extra antelope to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

Christmas eve opend a 27 year old bottle of Port, I probably bought in 1997/8.
It was kept in my basement all these years. The cork disintegrated. Well I was going to decant it anyway but we had to use a coffee filter to get the cork out.
It was a good as one would expect it to be, quite sweet but excellent shape.
Tne moral of tbis is I have 3 bottles of wine as old and will have to try a different cork removal for them some day.

But I do love some tawny ports, Pedro Ximenez sherry, etc. Your discussion of wine ratings reminds me:
Back in the early 2000s I found a nice tawny port, Jonesy Old Tawny Port -- I loved the stuff and I could get it at The Andersons (a sort of grocery/general store, now defunct) in Maumee Ohio for about $12 a bottle.
So I'd buy a bottle, drink it, go by another -- probably went through a dozen.
One day I got there and there were only a few bottles, and they all had a tag on the neck with a "93" on it -- I guess some wine guy decided they liked it too. And poof it was all gone after that, people bought it all up.
And I later saw bottles of this stuff going for $200+ each. It made me sick, thinking of how much money I had literally pissed away -- I didn't have a whole ton of money at that point.

As long as you find his ratings to be consistent, that should work.
I try to avoid the number and just read the review. I have found that some reviewers accurately describe some wine characteristics that I both seek and run from, so...

I've been using no-boil noodles for quite a few years now and I greatly prefer them to the traditional kind you have handle with tongs (or scald your fingers). They have a more delicate texture. They're also great for lasagna variations. I made a chicken Alfredo lasagna with Rao's Alfredo sauce, spinach, and ricotta and it was amazing.

I know what I like. I don't need a complete stranger's opinion to make that determination. The only real time it may become important is on the outliers (something really really bad or vice versa).
I've always considered food critics, wine experts, and movie critics positions of persuasion as opposed to expertise. Their desired demographic is in general terms, and easily swayed.
I hope I didn't offend anyone by this pronouncement. I know a lot of effort is put into the food threads/ movie threads. And, it's not like I don't take away valuable information and new ideas. It's just when someone tells me something is good/great/poor/average...that's their opinion. Wine critics seem to epitomize and reinforce my opinion on the matter. Hell, I drove an AMC Pacer when I was younger, and I loved the damn thing.

I look for the description rather than their subjective ratings. That way I can judge whether they can be consistent, so when I read the description I can expect it to be accurate. Then I decide based on that, and not their numerical rating.

I've always considered food critics, wine experts, and movie critics positions of persuasion as opposed to expertise. Their desired demographic is in general terms, and easily swayed.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of different bottles at Total Wine. How on earth would you be able to sample them all to find the ones you like.
A critic is an initial filter.

I think food might be a little more universal; and I think movie reviews tend to have more of a clear logic behind them (see TJM's discussions of movies for example.)
But wine and spirits seem to be very personal -- one guy will taste hints of chocolate, stone fruits, and a whisp of coconut; and I'll just taste barrel char and funk.
Now, the Pacer, I'm just going to have to go ahead and call bullshit on that one. No one loved the Pacer. Maybe you're mistaken and you had a Javelin.

Chicken pieces with the skin on get shaken in a bag with panko bread crumbs, oregano, basil, thyme, salt and pepper and garlic powder. (Add any dried herbs you like.) While preparing the chicken, put a LITTLE bit of peanut oil in a baking pan, preheat the pan in a 400 degree oven. Put the chicken pieces in the hot pan and cook for about an hour, turning once half way through. Let drain on paper towels. Much less mess to clean up.
BTW, this works with skinless pieces but won't be as crispy.

I’ve noticed that the word “sourdough” is being slapped on pretty much any fresh-baked loaf of bread. I’ve just about given up on grocery store sourdough bread being at all sour, and even some actual bakeries are selling non-sour sourdough bread.

One, the best Pecan Pie evah, which they've made before, and-
Two, the best Sweet Potato Pie in the world. Holy Cow, was that one good!!! Best I've ever had.
I think the secret ingredient was Grains of Paradise.
Did you know that Grains of Paradise is a spice?
I didn't. I thought it was a grain. One of those weird 3rd world mystery voodoo grains that good, clear-thinking Americans never think about let alone make bread or biscuits from.
Anyway, I was wrong. GoP is sorta peppery, kinda coriandery, with a smidge of gingery spice.
Makes for a very sophisticated and subtle flavor in Sweet Potato Pie!!!!, for cryin' out loud.
In any event, Grains of Paradise yo'sef, baby!

Admittedly I've been eating it like a stew, with a bowl and a spoon, but it's soft enough for it (and said softness was the mission). As usual, it was best the next day, once the flavors had a chance to do that magic thing where they mingle and strengthen; as long as you aren't looking for sophistication, it is truly a high reward for low effort.

I think something is off with my tastebuds today, the turkey drippings, now gravy and the dressing had a bit of a sweet taste. I read a recipe for brine (I can never remember the salt ratio) that called for brown sugar and thought, hmm, maybe that would make the turkey really absorb the brine but I forgot all about adding it, so it was just the salt, pepper, sage, some liquid smoke just for fun and 'italian seasoning' dried herbs in the brine.
The dressing was made mostly with old freezer burned hot dog buns so a bit of sugar there but I've used old cheap buns for dressing before and it never made it come out sweet. It was still tasty enough. Time to start dealing with the remnants.
Posted by: PaleRider at December 28, 2025 04:53 PM (hhkIi)
When your ready to fry, heat about a 1/2 inch of oil in your favorite skillet. Take your chicken from the brine and cover it with a bit of plain flour, then egg wash, then your seasoned flour. Fry about 60-90 seconds per side. Then continue to fry another 2-3 minutes, turning maybe once more to achieve the desired hue.
I've not done batter-fried chicken parts due mostly to the potential mess and because I doubt it would be better than Churches or Popeyes. One of those rare cases where the work/reward ratio favors ordering out...

Botulism is not an issue with high-acid foods like Marmalade. The worst you should get is mold if the jars don't seal correctly. Marmalade is a good starter since citrus has a lot of natural pectin and is very acid.

Speaking of female competitiveness, what do you ladies do en lieu of "measuring dicks"?
Measuring boobs? Quantifying ovarian hormonal output?....well, anyway...
The point of argument was which method of making Fried Chicken my father liked best.
In one corner, my Grandmother who's recipe was buttermilk soak, dip in flour spiced with salt and pepper, pan fry in Crisco with bacon grease.
or
My Mom's recipe was a quick dip in flour with salt and pepper, pan fry in 50/50 mix of butter and Crisco (later Corn Oil).
Both were excellent.
The one I cook myself however is my Mom's recipe
becuuuuzzzzzz-
Whenever I invited a friend over for dinner and we had fried chicken, they always kept begging for me to invite them back any time they heard Mom was cooking fried chicken.
So, I suppose the science is settled. Mom made the best fried chicken in the world because my friends would rather eat her fried chicken than their own mother's fricasseed poultry.

Nah, fully combined dishes tend to be hardest for crowds. A fresh fruit tray, baked or roasted potatoes, a roasted veg tray with all veg separated, and a protein done simply with salt and pepper (with a mushroom done the same way for vegan) with a side sauce and a mac and cheese tray for the vegetarian and the kids. Done.

Now, there is some value in getting advice on certain flavor profiles you like. So if you like bold wines or kick-you-in-the-nuts smoky scotch, then there is some value to listening to someone who says “I like smoky scotches that kick you in the gonads, and here’s what I like …”.
But wine critics don’t really do this. They’re more in tune to infinitesimal smells of the wine pickers smelly buttholes.

Or just 1/2 and 1/2 pork butt.

I do instant pot mashed potatoes at least once a month, because it's so easy and uses up old potatoes well. But there's something about them cooking over a hot stove for a long time that's so good. IP mashed potatoes are silky and creamy, but don't have that extra mouth heft to them. I can't explain it.

The new del Toro Frankenstein is amazing. The use of symbolic, vivid color in the costumes was striking, while never being off-putting. He set it in the Crimean wars vs when it was written, and tying it to the carnage of war, lots of bodies to loot and no one cares, was a smart touch.
All of the actors made the most of it. It is nice to see when not smothered by a Star Wars script, Oscar Isaac can really act. They purposely made Victor a Mick Jagger type of rebel for the age, and he sinks his teeth into the role.
Combine that with Nosferatu last year, and you have a gruesome, but great, creature double feature.
I want to watch this season of stranger things. I've avoided spoilers, but I do get a sense it's incredibly disappointing, and they totally dropped the ball. Which is a shame, because season 4 felt like they were righting the ship, and setting off for a banger of an ending. Oh well. Will still watch. Just not right away.

Always in a large deep skillet/frying pan with a lid.
She first used Crisco then transitioned to vegetable oil.
All she'd do is clean the chicken under water, scrape off the hairs, and then let them dry a bit before rolling them in flour with spices (salt, pepper, seasoning salt) already in the flour.
Put about half inch of oil on the bottom of the pan, heat to temp and add the chicken. Then put the lid on, turn them over about ever ten minutes or so until done.
Loved it.
Crispy, juicy, flavorful & simple.
I miss it more than anything else she cooked and wish I'd watched her make it more often so I could do it as well as she did.

Nah, the biggest trick is trying to figure out what temp and time to cook stuff at, especially if you don't have a recipe or instructions.
You can mess stuff up really quickly cooking it too long.
Anybody who has had over-cooked air fried french fries can attest to that. They get really dry and turn into tasting like shoestring potatoes out of a can if you leave them in too long.

We finally got the gauzy new curtains hung, and they are stunning. Only problem is the cats have clawed at them and marred/snagged some of the fabric.
Are we taking them down and getting new curtains? Are you kidding me? After all that work? Heck no.
Also oldest son is the one that hung them. There is a gap between the curtains and the calling of about 2-3 inches, and the modern thing is to put the curtains all the way to the top so they feel taller and more elegant. But it took a year to get them up. So they are staying up as is!

If you tour England, you wil see numerous old buildings with bricked-up windows. Why?
A window tax was imposed in England (and later Scotland and Ireland) from 1696 to 1851. The tax was a form of property tax based on the number of windows in a house and was introduced as an alternative to an income tax, which was considered intrusive at the time.

I have curtains or drapes on all windows...but they have their own drawbacks. Wait...did I make a pun? Anyhow, there are issues of lint created by the curtains/drapes themslves, as well as household lint/dust collected by the fabrics which is swirled out when they are opened/closed. They also must be cleaned periodically on account of household aromas, cooking & etc.
My rationale has mostly to do with insulation during winter months, it gets cold up here in Appalchia.

Peel and stick stained glass on your windows? It looks really pretty. Or I've seen people paint their own fake lead/glass designs on windows and it turns out cool. But there's a whole process.
My husband is obsessed with the shades that fold down like yours. A house with them near us went up for sale, and he joked we should move there just for the shades. (Yeah, not happening. I hate moving.) I never thought about the window frames resettling and causing issues! The things you don't think about.

Or remove the entire foundation, dig to bedrock, and sink pilings so that there is a stable base for everything!

For example... we finally checked all the circuit breakers on the electrical panel to see what rooms are on what circuit. We've been having circuits break and the lights short out. Like, I turn on the toaster, the crock pot, and the stove, and the kitchen's circuit breaker gets triggered. Well, there are rooms on the same circuit that are high usage rooms, we wouldn't have thought were tied together. We can't undo it, but now we know.
It's a pain! But we will survive. Barely. (I kid! Sort of.)

Shouldn't require much electricity, that is true. It mostly depends on the structure and how it reacts to electricity. If there are two stable states, only requiring an electric field to swap them, then doesn't require much...maybe refreshing to keep its current state...

What kind of things do you want to make with your 3D printer? I mentioned in the hobby thread I got my hubby a 3D printer for under $500, and that cost included the printer, the curing station, and the resin bath. He loves it and it's had no problems. But it's a true hobby printer. He uses it to make mini figs and cute presents for us. And has printed stuff for me to teach Sunday school lessons and make cute 3D takeaways for the kids.
He also made a one-inch high 3D rendering of a penis, to throws at one of our problem child teens when he's being an actual dick, bwahaha.

Got aluminum?

Nope, real Cu wiring...just after the Al fad. My parents, on the other hand, had issues...I've seen what Al wires look like when a pin-hole leak forms in the insulation on underground wires...

Replying to @2448Reda971 @satyamshivam64 @silvertrade
Paper silver (futures, ETFs) holds value based on market prices and contracts, but it's not physical metal—risks include counterparty default in squeezes.
The $75 threshold causing bank defaults is a rumor in metals communities, tied to alleged short positions, but unverified by major sources. Silver's at ~$77/oz now; watch for volatility

"The analysis revealed that the concentration of N-heterocycles is approximately 5 nmol/g, 5-10 times higher than that reported from Ryugu. In addition to the five nitrogenous bases -- adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil -- required for building DNA and RNA, the researchers also found xanthine, hypoxanthine, and nicotinic acid (vitamin B3)."

Of course what caused the tulip panic was that: "Sorry, other than decoration, what use do tulips have?" Silver on the other hand has irreplaceable metallic industrial properties that can't be replaced by any other element on the periodic table. It is the best conductor of electricity. All those data centers require ton quantities of silver in the computer racks. You can't make solar cells without silver, you can't make the new Samsung Silver-Carbon battery without it, and that battery makes EVs practical. Every Tomahawk cruise missile has 500 oz of silver in it and that silver vanishes into vapor when the missile is used. Silver is not tulips. Have your fun laughing at it - but reality will have the last laugh.

Sorry, you are wrong about that. The commercial usage of Silver has exceeded the mine production for the last 5 straight years, and not by a small amount. The deficit for each of those years is about 25% of mine production. Don't believe me? Try to buy a silver on line, or at your local coin dealer. The coin shops in Houston ran out when Silver spot was $50.

America Is Too Stoned Already: We Don't Need More Marijuana Availability
[Clever readers will notice that this is a repost from last week...Ace stomped it after a half hour or so]
That's where marijuana should remain. Smoky dorm rooms and basements where stupid kids and their even stupider older siblings hang out and solve the ills of the world. But it doesn't belong on our streets or offices, and relaxing federal restrictions will do exactly that. Hell, it's already everywhere in some cities...it's impossible to walk down a NYC street and not smell it.
Rescheduling Marijuana Is the Wrong CallWhen it comes to drugs, it’s hard to imagine a Republican president deciding to pick up where his Democratic predecessor left off. Yet that is what President Donald Trump did yesterday, directing the Department of Justice to finalize a process, started under former President Joe Biden, that would recategorize how the federal government views marijuana. In so doing, Trump hands a huge financial benefit to the businesses seeking to profit from making pot more mainstream. There’s no way of understanding the decision without seeing it as a triumph of commerce over long-standing cultural concerns, and of the libertarian, podcast bro faction of the Right over its traditional socially conservative wing. It’s also the wrong move. Improving the commercial viability of marijuana won’t make America’s citizens healthier or her cities more livable. If the goal of federal policy is to make America great, rather than just delivering benefits to a well-connected industry, yesterday’s executive order should be contested—and rescinded if possible.
America has too many problems without adding more of us getting high regularly. Sure, I sound like somebody who just kicked you off his lawn, but what is the benefit to our culture? [Yes, there is a song behind the graphic!]

Bardot will be missed. She had more balls than anyone else in France, and most people in this country. She spent her golden years in court fighting the power for speaking the truth. That homos are wrecking French culture. That Muslims are filthy savages who need to be thrown out of France. That #MeToo actresses are hypocrites and cockteases.
She was persecuted and repeatedly prosecuted by the homos, cockteases, hypocrites, and filthy savages of France, and now every obituary pillories her even after she has no way to answer their calumnies.
But she knew all that would happen, and never once bent the knee.

I think our country can multi-task such where we can have Crusaders against SSRI/Benzo/Box Wine and have those who are fighting MJ proliferation.
As a Calvinist, unregenerate human behavior will find its desires outside the camp. When culture continues its Congo line dance away from God through its Pied Pipers of Babylon, the untethered will follow and find its desires in whatever is the greater influence.
That is why I sort of was OK with false piety of State Religions, those on the wide path, or nominal Christians, though not regenerate, would at least not be hostile to righteous behavior and would keep their sin in the darkness rather than out in the open.
As the US has reverted to the norms of human history and has rejected Christianity, reclassification of MJ remains in sync with the cultural rot that continues unabated.

A Constitutional Republic requires a self-regulating and religious population, for it is incompatible with any other.
The multi-"culture" economic opportunity zone known as the former United States has such a diluted culture of self-regulation that the alternative is strong authoritarianism or widespread chaos. Looking at this heterogenous dissolved country, it appears that there are pockets of Order surrounded by breakaway regions and fiefdoms shoes culture is largely depravity and lawlessness.
I'm guessing that Ordered areas will still remain ordered, and those in Outer Darkness will continue in their quest for divine judgement.

TRAVELERS have been warned that they could be hit with hefty penalties if they are being unruly on flights.
The warning comes as a Frontier Airlines passenger was slapped with an eye-watering $25,500 fine after allegedly acting unacceptably toward fellow flyers and staffers.
The misbehavior included repeatedly kicking the aircraft bulkhead, screaming obscenities at other passengers and throwing food.
She also reportedly locked herself in the bathroom for half an hour and refused to get out, despite the seatbelt sign being on.

Wine for Communion is one thing.
Weed to better enjoy a Grateful Dead album is another.
I can have wine for Communion and still respond to matters that are best served with sobriety.
When someone has enough weed (I have no idea what level of partaking confers impairment) they are no longer available to respond to emergencies or be of use when action is required.
Thought experiment: Someone does something that requires medical attention. Are you better able to positively respond after a glass of wine or after a typical intake of weed?
Proverbs 31 says that a king should remain sober, a prince light drink but let those with no hope have strong drink and wine to those in distress.

Exactly.
I have a strong amount of empathy for people who have suffered in their lives, and they turn to pot (or other substances) to relieve them of their pain. Mental and physical (because you often can't separate one from the other).
Those who have the CAPACITY to overcome their struggles, often don't. Because they use a substance to escape from it.

I’ve met myself, lol.
I was a “regular user” from 17 or so to 23,24.
It wasn’t a big deal. I wasn’t addicted. It was something I did very now and then, just like how I went out drinking every now and then.
By the time I hit my mid 20s I stopped. I don’t even remember why, just wasn’t a thing to do anymore I guess?
This is why I roll my eyes at this “on no you’ll become a vegetable sitting in the couch all day” stuff. No that’s not how it works. A small percent might just like a small percent of people become alcoholics. But for the “regular users” it’s just something in their lives, no different than watching sports or whatever.

Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at December 28, 2025 12:42 PM (9c0bR)
Yeah, alcohol has definitely destroyed on a much more brutal level. I never saw a violent weed smoker. What I have noticed over the years is if a person by nature is a lazy sack of shit then weed becomes a way to justify them being a lazy sack of shit. I see it in people around me. Many successful people who smoke, because their core makeup is not lazy. I know other people who are bordering worthless because deep down, thats just who they are. Now you got a whole generation who was taught by marxists that their life is a drag and the planet sucks. Then they feed them weed. The problem started when the marxists started breeding the lazy first.

You are treating the Constitution as a license for vice as long as you game it correctly.
Freedom isn't supposed to be "I can do whatever the Hell I want" it is a framework so that people have the liberty to do that which is Right.
By the mere fact that you proclaim that society, outside your personal container has no business to regulate your activity, if what you were doing was benign, why would the outside world care?
So you know its wrong, but hide behind the fig leaf of Constitution protections ignoring the fact that our forefathers didn't write "Life, liberty and Pursuit of Happiness and Vice"

Dope smoking on the job is a sure way to get mediocrity - which seems to be on brand for our greater "culture".

If that's a serious question, the answer is, back when there was serious research being done, longitudinal studies showed that HEAVY cannabis users, who started in their teens and early 20s, lost about 8 IQ points.
And never got them back, even if they stopped completely.
Also, the aforementioned fatality rates for drivers under the influence of both alcohol and cannabis were shown to be significantly higher than those under the influence of "just" alcohol.
It's also true, there is anecdotal evidence of long time users suffering cognitive decline as they age, much more frequently than those who were casual or non-users of cannabis. However, this has NOT been studied in any meaningful way, so it just remains anecdotal.

To the young, this looks like a cynical system to reward one group of industry owners while punishing those who might cut in on their business. As such it guarantees those laws will never be respected, and fighting to maintain that system is inevitably a losing battle. It can be maintained by sheer force for a while, but that always breaks down when the average people view it as simply corruption.

I have seen multiple studies and numerous anecdotal confirmations that substance abuse tends to lock a person into a developmental state. That is, during the time one starts intoxicating substance abuse, their own mental and social development stops and may restart years after the abuse ceases.
If they are doing weed or alcohol in teenage years, and continue well into adulthood, their mental and social development is stunted to approximately when they began, and may never resume.

Its brutally stronger. When I was in high school you would burn 3 joints with 4 people before even stepping into the building in the morning. Lunch time they let us outside. 10 people kick in $2 each, get a half ounce, roll the whole thing up and 20 joints would go around a circle of 10 people, which kinda funny. Then you got out of school and then the real smoking started. I did almost every day, graduated with As and Bs and barely every studied. You could not, no way in hell, carry on like that with the shit they got today. I knew I was done with it when I couldn't get past a 1/2 joint by myself and choked the whole way.

Generally, my position on this entire topic is the libertarian one: Get the government out of the business of policing private behavior.
However, since we don't live in that world, the other hypothetical one: You can either have both be legal, or both criminalized, if that's my options, I'm going with both alcohol and cannabis being criminalized.

What exactly is private behavior?
So someone who engages in self-harm practices will NEVER be a burden on society as a consequence of their "private behavior"?
Stuffing one's face with donuts and Coca Cola day after day privately at home dramatically increases the odds that I'm going to have to underwrite their medical bills.
How private is that?
Banging stoned prostitutes privately at home behind closed doors while the kids are fully aware of what is going on has zero effect on their psyche and neuroses later in life?

The great genius of the American Constitution is that it is a series of limits on the powers of our Government, NOT a guidebook as to the limitations on our personal freedoms.
There is a very long list of things that are bad ideas for one to do, yet which our government has no business or power to keep you from doing. Drinking too many coca colas, for one trivial example. Or drinking too much bourbon on New Year’s Eve. (Of course they can regulate your attempt to drive after doing so)
But we do not live in an authoritarian nanny state, and this nation was never intended to be one. If we make a personal choice to go to hell, then before both God and man we have the right to.

Next, the homeless population exploded. People camping in parks and under highway overpasses and breaking into the commercial properties left vacant by our faggot governor's covid lockdown policies.
All of this driven by the malaise and indifference brought by Colorado's lax attitudes towards everything.

That was kind of my point. There is no such thing as "privately" except in the delusional world of "I AM AN ISLAND" type of people who are tightly integrated, whether they recognize it or not, in something called "society".

If you think your kids can't get MJ if they want it, you are a deluded fool.
If people want to sit around and smoke pot all day, they're no different than the people that sit around and get drunk all day. They're also going nowhere in life, only the drinkers tend to be more violent/dangerous. Society's role should be to NOT facilitate their loserdom with SNAP, etc. You don't work, you don't eat.

When my 90+ year old grandma was in massive pain and had no desire to eat, we got "contraband" lotion in it with cannabis brought to us by a relative who lives near you. It helped with the pain, didn't mix bad with all the other meds she was taking, and helped increase her appetite a little.
When she went to her doctor for a check-up and casually mentioned it as one of items she uses in her pain regimen, he was like I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that... I mean, come on! She's 90. He got it. Good doc.

The studies on this show overall accuracy south of 50%, which indicates it's all based on the cop's hunch, not evidence. Some individual dogs and handlers are even worse. The notion that a cop's lies are now elevated to reasonable suspicion and probable cause for a search because had a dog at the time is laughable and an obscenity against the Fourth Amendment. It should be rejected outright as the unconstitutional farce that it is.

There was literally no other evidence against him, and plenty to implicate others of the crime, and the dog handler has said repeatedly that it was an unreliable result (for a number of reasons). As far as I know he's still in prison.

You can’t be publicly intoxicated without inviting the cops to jump on your case. I went hiking this weekend in various state parks that featured massive signs proscribing the public consumption of alcohol. I cannot carry concealed AT ALL with ANY BAC over zero. There are still dry counties and cities even here in TX. Try buying alcohol in a liquor store today in TX. Or any alcohol before 10 on Sundays. Until 2021 is was illegal to sell any alcohol before noon on Sundays.

No but seriously, they got the dog from somewhere else, because that police department didn't have any, and they found a Brit who was in the states, at a cadaver dog convention or something.
So when they asked him to bring the dog down, he told them "Hey now, this isn't going to give you reliable results, hopefully at best it'll point you to a suspect so you can find other evidence on which to get a conviction."
Nope. Just the dog.

Man, think of all the people who service dogs (and the less well trained emotional support dogs).
If they allow you to take the dog to prison with you (because, sure, why not. We let you declare your sex when you get there so you can bunk with the laydees), that poor dog.
Sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit!

I'm exaggerating to make the point that alcohol causes social harm of an entirely different magnitude. There is a multi billion-dollar alcohol addiction industry. But not a similar one for weed.

But only because "society" has agreed to those that can't pay their own medical bills from bad injuries. MJ is worse imo, and most places don't have strict laws on how high one can be without getting a DUI.

How do they not know? Of course they k ow. You don’t think NJ or IL home owners know they pay 3X as much in property tax as other states? They're not blind.
But they justify it. Ask them about it and they’ll tell you they have amazing schools, even though the state is always near the bottom in test scores. It’s delusion not lack of info.

I will say this... I know someone who's a counselor for disabled students at a university, and they were legally obligated to serve students who had a disability due to pot usage. I wish I was kidding but I'm not. They smoked pot, their doctor felt they could prove it damaged their brain, and they got disability benefits. And this is in a conservative state! It's probably worse in blue states.
Now is that due to fraud in the education system being too liberal in identifying something as a disability? Or are there actual harms to the modern crop of cannabis use for teens, that are starting to manifest as gen z and gen alpha go to college?
Like nurse said, we need non biased studies for all this! Just pursue the science, and see where the chips fall.

I hope enough people see the damage pot can do to lives before driving deaths get enough local news coverage to indicate action is required. Maybe we never reach that point. Does anyone know the number of people killed annually by stoned drivers, machine operators, and idiots?

Via Grok:
In the US, total annual traffic fatalities hover around 40,000-43,000 in recent years.
The percentage of crash deaths involving cannabis doubled from 9% in 2000 to 21.5% in 2018, which would equate to roughly 8,600-9,000 deaths based on total figures, though not all are directly attributable to impairment.
Post-legalization studies estimate an increase of about 1,400 additional traffic fatalities annually due to recreational marijuana access, based on a 2.2% rise per billion miles driven.
Recent 2025 data from crash reviews indicates over 40% of deceased drivers tested positive for active THC, with levels often exceeding legal limits.
In 2018, about 12 million Americans reported driving under the influence of marijuana.
