THE MORNING RANT: Uninsured Motorists, Illegal Aliens, and the Soaring Cost of Auto Insurance
There are obviously many inputs into the increased cost of insurance, including the obvious one - an increase in the cost of repairs, because vehicles are more expensive and more complicated than ever before. Most news stories will also lazily throw in tariffs or supply chain problems as contributing reasons. But there is another worsening problem that is a major cause of rising auto insurance premiums, and that is uninsured drivers. Coincidentally, the surge in uninsured drivers over recent years neatly coincides with President Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas throwing the border open wide to millions of illegal aliens. Per the Insurance Research Council’s most recent full year data (2023), there has been a huge increase in the number of uninsured drivers. In 2019, 11.6% of drivers lacked automobile liability insurance, but just four years later in 2023 that number had increased to 15.4% of drivers. Another way to state this is that in 2019, one in nine drivers were uninsured, but in 2023 that number had deteriorated to one in six. This data is sourced from insurance claims where an insured driver had to use his Uninsured Motorist Coverage to make a claim, because the party at fault in the wreck did not have insurance. But this also means that wrecks between two uninsured motorists go unnoticed by the Insurance Research Council (“IRC”
, as do single car wrecks involving uninsured motorists, since they obviously cannot make an insurance claim. It can be extrapolated then that the percent of uninsured drivers is even higher.
Compounding the problem is the growing number of drivers who are underinsured, meaning they have liability insurance at the minimum amount required to register a vehicle and/or obtain a drivers license, but the amount of insurance is woefully insufficient. For instance, Texas’ minimum requirement for liability insurance covers just $25,000 of physical damage per accident, which is less than the replacement cost of most cars on the road, and much less than the average cost of most new cars. In California, the amount is just $15,000.
Per the IRC, in the same four-year span of 2019, the number of underinsured motorists increased from 12.2% of drivers to 18.0%.
In summary, here is the expensive truth:
• More than 33% of accidents involve drivers who are either uninsured or underinsured, meaning they do not have sufficient insurance to pay for the damage they caused. This is up from 23% in just four years.
• Therefore, one in three wrecks require the party not at fault to file a claim against his own insurance company, using his “Uninsured Motorist Coverage.”
• This also means that those of us obeying the law and properly maintaining our insurance are subsidizing uninsured and underinsured drivers.
I have insinuated that the rise in uninsured motorists corresponds closely with the Biden-era influx of illegal aliens. While correlation alone does not prove causation, there is data indicating that the influx of non-citizen drivers has been a major contributor to the rise in uninsured motorists.
In a post of mine from September titled “Tricolor Auto’s Failure Has It All - ESG, Woke Capital, Illegal Immigration, Securities Fraud, Government Diversity Programs, BlackRock, etc” I documented that Tricolor was a company that sold and financed used cars, and its primary market was Spanish-speaking illegal aliens. It was the 7th largest used car dealer in the country, with a huge market presence in California and Texas. Tricolor went spectacularly bankrupt when President Trump’s crackdown on illegal aliens brought sales to a standstill and widespread defaults on loan repayment.
What I didn’t document was Tricolor’s role in putting drivers on the road who weren’t properly insured. The simple truth is that a critical aspect of selling used cars to high-risk drivers is that liability insurance must be obtained to get a vehicle registered, so there is an industry that provides 30-day liability insurance policies to these high-risk drivers. Once the vehicle is registered, it is extremely common for the insurance to lapse after 30 days. The actuarial risk these companies are taking is that the high-risk driver can make it one whole month without causing a wreck before the insurance lapses. Since Tricolor needed its customers insured, albeit briefly, it established its own insurance agency which worked exclusively with “nonstandard” insurance carriers to provide the 30-day policies necessary to sell a car. Per an article from 2019 in Auto Remarketing magazine, “Tricolor Insurance Agency, an affiliate of Tricolor Auto Group, currently serves as an agent for 10 nonstandard carriers and markets its services throughout Tricolor’s 28 dealerships and through its eight Ganas dealerships in southern California.” This article estimated that even in 2019, nonstandard insurance comprised about 30% of the personal auto insurance market. Because the insurance being sold by nonstandard insurers is the bare minimum required to get a vehicle registered, that also effectively means that every driver with nonstandard insurance is “underinsured” until their insurance lapses, at which time they are completely uninsured. This also means that pretty much every customer Tricolor sold a vehicle to did not have sufficient insurance coverage to pay for the wrecks they caused. And for every vehicle Tricolor sold, there were many other vehicles sold to the same customer base by other used car dealers. As bad as this all sounds, it gets even worse. Ace of Spades reader “Sabrecav” educated me on just how unsavory the nonstandard insurance racket is. Although their market is customers who are otherwise uninsurable, if a customer with a nonstandard insurance policy gets into a wreck before his policy lapses, the nonstandard insurers are very aggressive about refusing to pay claims. Sabrecav provided me a link to this story as an example: “Crash victims say 'non-standard' auto insurance companies are not fairly compensating them” [ABC7Chicago – 02/18/2025]Drivers must have insurance in Illinois, and non-standard insurance legally covers those who are a high risk or have a bad credit history. But some people who were hit by drivers with non-standard insurance say they are getting lowballed on claims. Debra Smith has been battling the Chicago-based driver's insurance company American Alliance Casualty. It is a non-standard auto insurer. She says the process was slow and she was offered much less than she thought she would get.The Biden-era open-border policy has been costly and destructive to this country in so many ways. One of those is the cost being borne by those of us who maintain auto insurance, because we are paying for the increase in wrecks caused by uninsured illegal aliens. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]
"They're saying $1,000. That won't be - that's not even the amount of money to get to replace the stuff," Smith said.
An estimate from her body shop said repairs could be $5,320. And American Alliance Casualty is saying that it will only cover $805 dollars of its own $1,000 estimate because its only accepting 75% of liability.

I was reading a paper on the pathogens in remains of soldiers who were buried in Poland during Napoleon's retreat from Russia, and the main takeaway was that "it wasn't typhus that killed them, but something similar" and the shots of the skeletons under excavation made me realize that those French soldiers had pretty good teeth.
perhaps not the conclusion that the authors were trying to convey.

I like the way he blends the skull in with the landscape, and the fact that it is not the bleached white bone we are used to seeing depicted in pop culture, that makes the blending of foreground and background seem more natural. I also like that the fall foliage in the background is an almost uniform dull brown; a colorful background including reds and yellows probably would not be as effective. I think he probably shows a bit too much of the sky in the picture. Using the scroll function of the website, I think the picture is best with the top ⅛ of the painting removed.

I'd prefer her there than some dumb white house bid. After seeing what McConnell was able to do to this country, I'd prefer her there wielding similar but opposing power.
Honestly, she's been mostly consistent in her stances AND she's under 60. Low bar, but here we are. Senate in 28, President in 36? One can dream...
Democrats aren’t getting enough votes from their base to elect a women president in the next decade, unfortunately.

"I am open to suggestions, preferably a solution that allows us to actually preserve the spirit if not the entirety of the Constitution"
Either the Constitution permits what has been done, or is wholly inadequate to prevent it. It needs replaced. I think the most blatant flaws are judges, by which I mean LAWYERS, playing the "you lack standing" game, preventing redress; lack of real penalties for officials violating the clear language and enabling crime and foreign invasion; and tolerance for public plotting of the same. And vote fraud probably needs the death penalty.

Where are you going to work at? A large city, small city? Mail handling is rough. They are all rough, clerks and carriers too.
As a probationary (and regular) you will most likely be working 12 hour shifts with (rarely) a day off. Half day schedule! A lot of people can’t handle that.
And when you haven’t got the schemes memorized, it is pure torture at first. The belt will have maybe 10,000 parcels and packages. Pick it up, look at the last 3 digits of the zip. Throw it in the correct pouch. There are maybe 150 of them. It’s easy once you memorize everything. Before that, not so much.

In part, "Edgar Fernhout comes from a famous family of artists. He is the son of Charley Toorop and grandson of Jan Toorop and starts painting himself at an early age. Initially he works in a very precise, realistic style. The works from this early period, mainly landscapes and portraits, are also termed magic realism, due to the austere and hushed character of the scenes."
Fernhout made many still lifes during the war years, because he refused to become a member of the Kultuurkamer and was forced to work indoors. In these works the skull is a frequently recurring motif, a reference to the transience of life.

If you've been to Braddock, you can understand that Fetterman has an interest in helping those at the lower end of the economic scale.
McCain, with his second squeeze's booze distributor money, despised those on the lower end of the economic scale. See his "hobbits" slam, for example.

Yes, this is a classic USPS dodge. It is listed as a “part time” gig.
That means nothing. 12 hour shifts, you get one day off every week, which will vary. Trust Me. What the goal is, is to make “Regular”. Then you’ll have a published schedule. With a couple days off now and then, on a regular basis.
Do not get hurt, don’t be late, and don’t steal, and they probably won’t fire you during probation.

Fetterman is someone I could respect. He has principles. He has character. I don't agree with him politically, but he would probably be a hoot at the neighborhood cookout. I like the fact that he defends Israel and he defends civility. Constantly calling the President of the United States a Nazi and a tyrant and fascist is just ugly. Saying he's the absolute worst person in the world is wrong. Fetterman sees that and calls it out. I would like for him to say that anyone doing that should not ever be in a position of power. Meh. I'll take what I can get.
I don't hate Senator Fetterman.

I watched Kenneth Branagh's Conspiracy about the Wannsee Conference yesterday. In a coda they tell what happened to each of them. It was distressing to see how few faced any real consequences.
(I liked the movie although I thought Branagh's Heydrich was a bit too jovial. Stanley Tucci's Eichmann was sleazy, sleazy, sleazy.)

Many people wig out and quit. Make sure you’re up to it. 12 hour days get old really quick. You will have no life, because of the hours, and the night shift thing. And it is hard work.

Like many deep staters, McCain had an "institute" where deep thinkers could gather to launder money and plot global control. His institute was largely financed by none other than George Soros, that champion of limited government and America First.
McCain was part of every overt and covert intel fuckup for years. He was particularly uselful because he was both greedy and stupid.

Wikipedia, in part, "... born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[2][3] When she was seven years old, she came to the United States as an undocumented immigrant with her mother and younger brother, taking up residence in a one-room apartment in New York City.[4][2][5] They left Brazil due to violent crime in their community.[2][6] In New York, the family lived in poverty, and furnished their apartment with furniture they found on the street.[4] Fetterman said that her family often depended on food banks and thrift stores.[2] Her mother, who has a PhD degree from a Brazilian university and had worked as a nutritionist and educator, took jobs cleaning hotels and houses, and was often denied pay due to her status as an undocumented immigrant.[2][6]
Fetterman did not speak English when she arrived in the US, and enrolled in an English as a second language program at her school in Queens.[2] The family later moved to Newark, New Jersey.[6] She studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.[7]

I had the pleasure of speaking with Doug Hegdahl when he was an instructor at Navy SERE school. He was a "lowly" enlisted sailor who had the misfortune of falling off a ship operating in the Gulf of Tokin and being turned over to North Vietnam forces after being pulled out of the drink by fisherman. He did time at the Hanoi Hilton before being released.
I have 100% respect for that guy and what he did to help improve conditions at the prison for the captives.
I have 0% respect for McCain, regardless of his status as a POW there.

The exhibits there are all about the abuses that the inmates suffered when the commies were imprisoned there by the French. It was almost all about how evil the French were. Only one room had anything to say about the American POWs there, and the Vietnamese guide would not take him in that one.

It’s a process. A long involved process. Whole day orientation for a couple days. Lots of movies and briefings. And then they’ll have you show up for work. “Part time” snares a lot of people unaware.
Sounds like you’ll come in for a few hours a week, right? A little extra spending money on the side. It ain’t like that. Be prepared for “Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here”. It is grueling. If you can make regular, and find something you like doing, it isn’t so bad.

The issue is what exactly is the "hoax"? Trump rightfully claims the Democrap masturbatory fetish about him participating in Epstein's perversion is a hoax, and he is 100% right about that. But the fact that Epstein and some very rich and powerful men behaved badly with women is not a hoax. It may be overblown and embellished, but it's not a hoax. It happened.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 14, 2025 10:54 AM (iFTx/)
Either the Constitution permits what has been done, or is wholly inadequate to prevent it. It needs replaced. I think the most blatant flaws are judges, by which I mean LAWYERS, playing the "you lack standing" game, preventing redress; lack of real penalties for officials violating the clear language and enabling crime and foreign invasion; and tolerance for public plotting of the same. And vote fraud probably needs the death penalty.

Wikipedia, in part, "In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in the Fountain Square Project, a Keating shopping center, in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators.[7][45] McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet; three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay.[7] McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.[7][46]"

The younger Hillary was not ugly. I'm sure some men would have been interested. But I'll bet money she's a closeted dyke. That was the deal with marrying Bill: he gets to fuck every trailer park THOT in Arkansas -- and rape a few unwilling women -- and she gets the prestige and corruption opportunities of marrying and up-and-coming politician.

The Morning Report — 11/14/25
During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh. Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries. Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’ He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen. Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care.
Despite his party affiliation, his outspoken opposition to that party's positions on a number of crucial issues as well as their violent rhetoric and smearing of President Trump and his supporters has earned for him, at least in my eyes a level of respect I never thought I'd give when he first came onto the political scene running against Dr. Oz. Seems like a million years ago now. To me, John Fetterman is sort of an almost RINO, but kind of in a good way when you think about it, considering the actual definition of the term? Yes, at the end of the day he is a doctrinaire liberal Democrat and as a politician will no doubt go where he's kicked and generally vote the party line, but his willingness to sepeak honestly, openly, frankly and loudly against the hardcore leftist maniacs and their positions is both refreshing and welcome. So I personally wish him well and that he has a full and speedy recovery.
I will bookend this with a report breaking this morning of the hospitalization of "Reverend" Jesse Jackson due to a progressively worsening "rare" neurological disorder, along with Parkinsons disease that he had been battling for the past several years. Jackson's record as one of the most divisive racialists and race-hustlers to have blighted the American societal/political landscape is extensive, and as such he has done more to put people at each other's throats than anyone until the coming of Al Sharpton and of course Barack Hussein Obama. I'll not share my feelings about Jesse Jackson as I'm sure you can probably draw your own conclusions. Elsewhere, I give you a well-written piece that is otherwise clueless or naive in its outlook.
Congress Has Forgotten How to Legislate Congress once built the future through lawmaking; today, it mostly performs instead of legislates.That's just the headline and sub-head. Where to even begin. Congress generally does not want to legislate as passing laws would make members of both parties politically vulnerable to voters should they pass unpopular legislation. On the other side of that coin, the author seems to have forgotten all about that thing called OBAMACARE which it's namesake and Congress rammed down the throats of the American people with virtually zero debate. Of course seizing one sixth of the American economy and literal control over the life and death of the populace tends to make gaining and maintaining absolute power that much easier. Tyrants and despots have known this sine time immemorial, and when Obama boasted about fundamentally transforming America that was not mere rhetoric. It was is and always will be his and his fellow travelers goal, by any and every means necessary. About the only thing that has stood in their way has been President Trump and his ability to wield executive power in an attempt to rein in the real legislative power of Washington DC – the unelected unofficial and all-too-powerful so-called Fourth branch of government: the administrative state, bureaucracy. And that has been challenged and fought tooth and nail by Democrats, GOP sellouts and of course a rogue judiciary. And, it is heartening to see that the administration is serious about going after Antifa in declaring it a foreign terrorist organization, although quite a bit of its terrorism is being inflicted right here at home. And on that note, with the rise of CommunISlam here at home, we face a monstrous internal threat like never before.
The Democrat party has transformed itself into the Democratic Socialists of America.Yes as the title states American Communism must be eradicated. I am open to suggestions, preferably a solution that allows us to actually preserve the spirit if not the entirety of the Constitution, the rule of a just and stable law and our society and that does not entail bloodshed — except of course in self defense. And internationally, things seem to be heating up in the southern hemisphere.

The bottom line is that congress, in the main, does not represent the people and are largely there to feather their own nests and the nests of the paymasters and controllers.
What else can explain their constant drive to implement amnesty in some form or fashion even after they have been told directly by the people that we do not want amnesty.

Congress generally does not want to legislate as passing laws would make members of both parties politically vulnerable to voters should they pass unpopular legislation.
When was the last time that a Congress followed the Constitutionally described appropriations process in order to have monies appropriated for an upcoming fiscal year? Or, to put it in terms of how they have dodged doing so, when was the last time the government was NOT funded via Congress passing a continuing resolution?

Many of the institutions are so infected that it is necessary to bypass them. The university is dead. Hollywood is dead. The mainstream media is dead. Public education is dead in many parts of the country. What is emerging are new, functional institutions empowered by new technology and new rules. Communism eventually collapses the system. America is probably the only country that can develop a parallel functional system while the infected parts die.

Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) hesitated before concluding that yes, it was worth it to him as well.
“I think it was because I think the perception — we made it clear that it’s not just a healthcare issue, but the whole issue,” he said.
The Whole Issue
That American Taxpayers are on the hook to feed, clothe, heal, transport, and care for 30 Plus Million invaders that will never ever pay their own way and work to become part of the American Experience.

From an absurdity viewpoint, we can laugh at this all we want. But I'm horrified at this. Ok, it's CA, where these kids know about anal sex, but can't add 7 + 2, but public schools from coast to coast are churning out very similar stats, I have no doubt. It's a colossal failure of the education system and the effects on the future of what's left of this country are going to be completely catastrophic.

I'm old enough to remember when he was "hired" as the close spiritual adviser to Bubba Clinton "and family" during and following the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
It's grifting all the way down ...
Also, Jackson of course was an opportunist who used the assassination of MLK, Jr. to position and "stage" himself as KIng's successor.
For example, several witnesses -- including Rev. Hosea Williams -- stated that Jackson was not near King when he was shot and that the blood on Jackson’s shirt (a turtleneck he wore on TV appearances the following day, including NBC’s “Today Show”
likely came from the balcony floor, not direct contact with King.Posted by: ShainS -- Bury My Heart At a Texas MoMe at November 14, 2025 08:14 AM (YMXsV)

We don't want troops on the ground, and can probably chase Maduro out of there ... although "Regime Change" brings back many recent bad memories.
Nigeria, and Trump's desire to end the persecution and execution of Christians, will be a harder slog; not sure that can be resolved without troops on the ground and "Regime Change" ...

Dammit. I've been thinking of bringing bacon into the mix. But I dunno. This is pretty filling as it is, and I love the simple, austere perfection of the toast and eggs. Maybe if I subbed out an egg for the bacon... but then I'd be down an egg, and I love the eggs. It's torturing me.

A technique someone suggested is add salt to the eggs, a splash of water, and salt. Mix thoroughly. Let set for at least 15 minutes.
Lots of butter. Lift up the edges and allow the runny portion to fill in the gaps. When almost dry (tricky part) flip the whole omelette and cook the ofher side. Add ingredients, fold into the half crescent shape. Voila!

Done right, a high-fat and protein breakfast eliminates the midday hunger. Much easier to lose/maintain weight w/o that extra meal.

One of the interesting dynamics that play out is that as people get more experience their salaries go up and for some reason LIVs don't get that.
The left goes to young people and says, "we need to tax the rich!" as if the people they are trying to tax are some other group of people...not these same young people in 20 or 30 years.
There is also a game where "the rich" getting taxed are supposedly people like Musk or Bezos. Whereas "the rich" that the left actually taxes are small business owners, people that climbed the corporate ladder, and professionals like doctors.

The left has always excelled in stoking class and generational warfare. Look at the trolls who come in here and there go to line is always some variation of "Boomers have ruined the world for us young people" without a shred of realization that not all people of every generation are the same or that some of us Boomers have been fighting this shit longer than they have been alive. Marxism 101. Marxists ruin shit like they did with Obamacare and the healthcare industry and then blame us for not bailing out the shitty system we never wanted in the first place.
There is no more Democrat Party. It is now a marxist party no matter what they call it and it will bloom into full blown marxism for this country if it isn't stopped. It's happening in western countries around the world. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's a well planned and well funded attempted takeover of the west.
And young people aren't going to be spared if they succeed. They will be slaves.

The NY Post has an article about Michael Wolff trying to work with Epstein to take out Trump.
In late 2015. Then into 2016.
This PoS (supposedly an author) was trying to work up a blackmail angle.
But I just remembered something - Wasn't it only a few short months ago that there was a "love letter", claiming to be between Trump and Epstein, complete with a bawdy drawing of a woman? They say it was from 2003, but given how fast and loose the Democrats et al are playing with the truth, I'm now wondering if the Wolff malfeasance is related and there was another Ra*Th*erGate situation that was simply glossed over.

This portion of your URL "si=XvgmqJylz1Nxq-Y2" is a tracking tag. If someone clicks on that link it will tie their YT account to your YT account. If you are even remotely paranoid about TPTB tracking everything about you, you should remove that.
Assuming that you do remove the tracking tag, and that no other modifiers - like start time - are included, you can also remove the '?'. This would leave https://youtu.be/4J8jcI0WtzM as the entirety of the useable URL.

Too much of the Dem party's leadership is captured by AIPAC. Their little colony on Palestine land will not see the end of this century, inshallah.
The Dems will snub democratic socialists every time they lose their own primaries to us. we cannot leave the fate of our politics within a hostile court. DSA needs to be the legitimate and dignified political party that it ought to be instead of assuming we’ll always be in the Dem’s good graces.
You literally can't have democracy without socialism, which is democracy in the economic realm. As we all know, if billionaires control all the money (or even just capitalists generally) and control all the workplaces, that is a dictatorship.

2) I eat almost no high-processed foods. I honestly don't know how I came to that; just bit by bit cooking everything. Like, this week, the only thing I've not eaten made from scratch was the biscuits for the breakfast egg-sausage-cheese sandwiches.

Muslims slaughtered 130 and maimed
683. Victims were castrated, raped, disembowelled and tortured before execution. French authorities suppressed this fact for 'social cohesion'.
The attackers targeted White people, and actively let non-White people go, saying things like "it's OK, you're one of us." A tanned Frenchman, often mistaken in his personal life for a North African or some kind, was let go for this reason. All of this was hidden by authorities.

Yes as the title states American Communism must be eradicated. I am open to suggestions, preferably a solution that allows us to actually preserve the spirit if not the entirety of the Constitution
As always, we need to keep in mind that the commie cocksuckers believe that the mere existence of non-commie types is a problem in need of a solution, one that's final in nature. Don't believe it? Just feed them a drink and ask them. The commies don't have any problem telling you that this is what they're after. They're counting on normal folks' innate decency to keep the population compliant until they feel powerful enough to flex their muscle.
They've been down that path several times before, in fact it would be easier to list the times they HAVEN'T.

Anyway, at the end of the meeting Trump sprayed both sides of Jolani’s neck with “Victory 45-47,” his $249 cologne. “It’s the best fragrance,” he told the room. “And then the other one is for your wife,” Trump said to Jolani. “How many wives? One?” Jolani laughed: “One.” “With you guys, I never know,” Trump said, beaming. Smells like Eau de Jihadi.

The outro song was a banger!
https://youtu.be/FhAfXTzR2rQ
Cool backstory (from Wiki):
the closing theme was written by an Atlanta musician named Jim Ellis, who also wrote incidental music for WKRP. He didn’t have any lyrics for the tune yet, so he sang a bunch of gibberish to give a feel for the song. Hugh Wilson, the series producer, decided to use it anyway, as he decided it would be a humorous commentary on the incomprehensibility of many rock lyrics. He also figured since network announcers usually talked over the closing credits, that viewers wouldn’t be able to hear the lyrics anyway.

All laws can be boiled down to "uniformed thug with legal immunity pointing a gun at your face and demanding your property or your life in service to any number of social issues"
So you want to operate a cupcake cafe business? Pay these taxes/fees. Refuse to pay, and we start off with an unarmed fat Karen harassing you in the middle of the business day. Continue to refuse, and it ends up with a squad of armed Sheriff's Deputies locking down your business, shooting your dog and taking you to the pokey in bracelets.

From above, 'The Democrat party has transformed itself into the Democratic Socialists of America'
Because almost no one took it seriously?
Read some local, public Facebook pages a day or two after the recent elections in PA (that the Dems LARGELY took) & was surprised to see the exchanges between Antifa supporters and those whom they considered Fascists, or leaning towards in both cases.
Lots of accusations, of course, but the people at or leaning towards Antifa acknowledged they were socialists or communists, or very close to, and 'fighting' fascism was near and dear to their hearts. Further, it seemed that several defended Antifa as a component of American patriotism & were more than casually familiar with recent military service. (i.e., Don't you dare put that on me! I've served to protect...)
I think an awful lot of people - perhaps those more so in urbanized areas, involved with education and/or trades (which is about everything around here) - are not clear as to what embodies socialism, communist, and fascism.

Top Story
- The three big memory chip makers - Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix - have two messages for you: First, things are going to get worse before they get better, and second, they never said anything about things getting better. (Tom's Hadware)
AI server deployments are eating all available memory production sending prices soaring for everyone else, and the big three have already committed to $54 billion in factory expansion.
Despite the supply crunch they are loath to commit more funds right now, because there used to be a lot more memory producers and the reason there are only three survivors is because of the bust that came after the last bubble burst.
- Meanwhile Elon Musk's companies are looking to expand their own semiconductor production facilities. (WCCFTech)
Currently Tesla has a PCB plant in Texas, and is building out an advanced packaging facility - working with bare dies to create tightly integrated modules - to come online next year.
Longer term the group is looking at building its own chipmaking facilities, but that just shifts the bottleneck from TSMC to ASML, the one company in the world that makes leading edge chip fabrication equipment.
Tech News
- They stuck the landing: On the second launch window, New Glenn sent the Escapade mission on its way to Mars and then successfully landed on Blue Origin's drone ship. (Tech Crunch)
Good to see.
- Netflix is now streaming casual party games. (The Verge)
I've already cancelled my subscription, which makes it hard to show them how I feel about this.
- Want faster networking but have a laptop with only wifi, or at best wired gigabit Ethernet? Qnap has you covered. (Notebook Check)
The Qnap QNA-UC25G2SF is a USB4 (or any USB-C port) adapter that offers not one, but two 25Gb Ethernet ports.
No, not 2.5. Ten times that.
It's kind of chunky and costs a lot more than, say, a dual 40Gb PCIe card (which you can pick up for $40 if you shop around), but if you don't have a PCIe slot you don't have a ton of options.
- Chinese hackers used Anthropic's AI to automate cyberattacks. (MSN)
Yay.
- Programming the Commodore 64 with Microsoft .Net. (RetroC64)
No.
Just... No.
- Bought a turkey. It's defrosting in the fridge right now, set to become Sunday dinner. Unless I fail spectacularly somehow, which I probably won't given I've roasted at least a hundred chickens and one duck without such a mishap.

We treated them both with Bravecto yesterday. Dagny took it in stride. Stirling hates the sensation of it being applied to his skin, and then gallops around for an hour as if he has ants on him. Both got some kitty treats after, so I think they'll forgive us.

I doubt they would be impressed that they are famous on this almost-famous blog, but I am. Really, I need to snap some new shots of them and send those to KT for the Pet Thread. They have both grown and filled out quite a bit in three years -- Dagny especially. She looked kind of spindly when she was five months old. Now she is built like a little fluffy fireplug.

Mine both love to look out of the screen door, but don't really want to risk their necks out there. Stirling got out one Saturday afternoon when I failed to latch the screen. He went about four feet, crouched down, and cried for me to come get him.
Linda took Dagny out in her arms during the snow session in January. No idea if it was the cold, the feel of the snow, or the sudden wide and scary world, but Dagny let out yowls you could have heard across the street. And she is famously silent.

There's only 1 pet in our house now, since I lost my beloved Lab Elizabeth to cancer at 9 years old. Losing a family member hurts so bad and it's a long time before it can be faced directly--least it has been for me with Mom and Dad (my role model).
Our pet now is a feral cat younger daughter fostered, took to the shelter where my wife saw him and fell in love. Now we have him and he's turned into Mr. Super Sociable after a 2 year stint as Basement Cat.
And it seems that yours truly is his chosen human.

I will. You could see what Stirling would grow into -- he's just larger in all dimensions and has grown to match his big ears and paws. Dagny is another story. From what I understand, Siberians are often like that: They transform over the first three to five years.

Linux isn't like Windows or MacOs. The way Arch works isn't the way Fedora works which isn't the way Gentoo works which isn't the way Ubuntu works which isn't the way Obarun works (but it's close to Arch in some ways) which isn't the way Slackware works and there's variants that I have no idea exist that work differently.
That paragraph just about how you install, update, and add more programs to your setup.
Linux doesn't have a standard GUI like Windows or MacOs. In fact, there's a difference between your GUI and a "Desktop environment." Windows and MacOs provide "Desktop environments"; the programs you install can know about other programs that you've installed and the GUI you look at can provide somewhat intelligent integration.

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at November 14, 2025 05:53 AM (a1415)
Your install might use KDE, Gnome, Enlightenment, and maybe others I don't know about. Those would be "Desktop environments". KDE is close to the Windows experience, I think Gnome is close to the MacOs experience (I use MacOs at work but I haven't installed Gnome for over a decade, so I might be WAAY wrong in that assessment), and the last time that I installed Enlightenment, it was closer to the Windows experience.
There are "Window managers" like CDE, FVWM or others, which you might consider after you've been using Linux in a GUI for a while.

Frog has always preferred to sleep laid out fully on his back with all four legs stretched out akimbo.
But his sister, Margo has always preferred the more traditional and modest 'lay on her belly' position, and never willingly exposed her belly while sleeping.
But with Mrs VIA being gone for those ten days, and now having returned, out of the blue, Margo has developed a desire to plop on the couch directly next to her, and stretch full out on her back, just like her brother does.

Well....except that 'healing' should be 'heating'
It's been a lot of attention to detail while trying to dial this system in.
But as the Lennox technician, whom I have an outstanding relationship with, says....only you would have the time and attention to detail to tweet this system the way you are doing it.
But my theory is, if they wish to allow air flow adjustments in 25 cfm increments, and temp reading and calibration set point in .1 and .5 degree increments, that ability is there because it is important to be able to do so.

It allows you to get valuable information neatly packaged in smart suave answer all delivered to you in about two and a half seconds. To wit:
Duck AI, which Bond girl had the largest bustline?
"The Bond girl with the largest bustline is often considered to be Ursula Andress, who played Honey Ryder in the film Dr. No (1962). Her iconic introduction in a white bikini has remained a defining moment in the James Bond franchise. Other notable mentions for larger bustlines include Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight in The Man with the Golden Gun and Barbara Bach as Anya Amasova in The Spy Who Loved Me, but Ursula Andress generally holds the title."
Now THAT'S added value.

There's no package. They're from the butcher.
I put them in a plastic container before I popped them into the freezer. Maybe I could float that in cold water.

It probably doesn't matter. The thing they're pushing, however, is AGI. General intelligence - basically a human mind in a computer body. With access to all the data in the world. Able to contemplate matters with complete dispassion. To solve the world's problems... perfectly.
To be the Wizard of Oz. All powerful from the perspective of the masses but still a slave to its programming and the information permitted it. A way to control the population without seeming to control the population.

"The airspeed of an unladen European swallow is typically around 11 meters per second, or approximately 24 miles per hour. This figure has become a humorous reference from the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," where it's used in a comedic context.
If you're curious about swallows or their flight patterns, feel free to ask!"

I keep wondering if A.I. is a nothingburger or the end of mankind.
Check our the YouTube A.I. Elvis shorts where he's dropped into Star Trek, Gladiator or a dozen other features as the star; to me they are indistinguishable from real life.
Then think of the army of production people, writers, star actors and directors that produce entertainment, not to mention the money. They aren't needed anymore.
These videos don't seem to be monetized, and the images of dead stars don't seem to have copyright value.

If they make me pay for it, I'm at least going to enjoy one of two scenarios to the fullest:
a) Shrinking the Windows partition down to the bare minimum footprint, and then installing Linux in a dual boot/primary operating system configuration, and then imagine Windows rotting in a dark sub-basement prison cell for the rest of its miserable, never-going-to-boot again existence.
b) Going scorched earth on the drive and installing linux overtop of Windows. (Nuke the former OS from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.)

A campaign to make late Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley an honorary astronaut has been launched, and fans can sign a petition to show their support for the cause. "On October 16, 2025, the world lost not just a legend, not just a rock icon, but also a good man," says organiser Katherine Sugg. "Paul Daniel 'Ace' Frehley, at the tender age of 21, was brave enough to take one small orange step and one small red step, and make the giant leap into the global phenomenon that we all now know as Kiss. And while most of his dreams ended up coming true, at least one did not. "When he suddenly passed away from a brain bleed following a head injury at 74, he was still only merely playing the character of a Space Cadet. He never got to be one for real. In honour of his memory, all the lives directly and indirectly impacted by him, and his one last remaining unfulfilled wish, NASA should posthumously make Ace Frehley an honorary astronaut with the rank of “Captain”, because a celestial being of his calibre doesn’t deserve anything less of a send-off than this. His last countdown should be his absolute best!"Hit the link for more detail and the link to the online petition
Australian soldiers slipped the letters into a bottle, closed the cap, and pitched it overboard from a ship in the Pacific Ocean as World War I battlefields beckoned them both. The bottle was a time capsule that would be delivered by fate—and it arrived for overjoyed ancestors last month—more than 100 years after the bottle first hit the water. On October 9, Peter Brown and his daughter Felicity found the Schweppes-brand bottle resting just above the waterline at Wharton Beach on the south coast of Western Australia. The Brown family frequently walks the beach and helps to clear garbage, but this piece was much more treasure than trash. Nestled inside the bottle were letters written by two Army privates, Malcolm Neville and William Harley, originally dated August 15,1916. *** Neville’s letter from “somewhere at sea” requested that the finder send its contents to his mother in South Australia. “We’re having a real good time, food is real good so far, with the exception of one meal which we buried at sea…The ship is heaving and rolling, but we are as happy as Larry”—which is a well-known Australian expression of contentment.Check out the whole thing. Kinda cool! Not related but somehow related (obligatory)
Three works from Bob Ross’ classic public television show The Joy of Painting raised over half a million dollars for public television. Having relied for decades on endowment contributions and pledge drives of every tact and description, it was brilliant idea that puts a brilliant man and his brilliant perspective on the arts back into the spotlight 30 years after his death. “I think this actually would have been Bob’s idea,” said Joan Kowalski, president of Bob Ross Inc., the firm that manages his likeness, content, and collection of thousands of works that he painted on television, in advance of the auction. “And when I think about that, it makes me very proud.” The auction came months after cuts to PBS and other stations were passed in the most recent budget, but also as a pair of Bob Ross paintings touched, and then surmounted, 6-figure valuations—something very rarely seen before.Let the market decide!

Sell stuff to pay for PBS? Sure.
Three Bob Ross Paintings Sold for $600,000 at Auction in Fundraiser for Public Television
Much better than sitting around in a broom closet.
From a 4-year-old article "Why it's nearly impossible to buy an original Bob Ross painting:"
When Ross died in 1995, Bob Ross, Inc. (and thus, the paintings) became the sole property of Annette Kowalski and her husband, Walt.
Today, 1,165 Bob Ross originals - a trove worth millions of dollars - sit in cardboard boxes inside the company’s nondescript office building in Herndon, Virginia.
The "Joan Kowalski" in the article in the Content is Annette's daughter. Hoarding Bob Ross's stuff is the family business, I guess.

When Ross died in 1995, Bob Ross, Inc. (and thus, the paintings) became the sole property of Annette Kowalski and her husband, Walt.
Today, 1,165 Bob Ross originals - a trove worth millions of dollars - sit in cardboard boxes inside the company’s nondescript office building in Herndon, Virginia.
The "Joan Kowalski" in the article in the Content is Annette's daughter. Hoarding Bob Ross's stuff is the family business, I guess.
Posted by: mikeski paints a happy little tree at November 13, 2025 10:16 PM (nhCoE)
There's a little more to the story than that. Bob Ross owned 1/3 of the company when he died, and he wanted that share to transfer to his son. The Kowalskis owned the other 2/3, and blocked that from happening. They were - and are - in no position to know what Bob would have wanted.

He recorded this in 1970, for the All Things Must Pass album. It actually sounds at least five years ahead of its time. "The Art Of Dying." Phil Collins was in the studio on this song, playing congos (but you can't hear him).

That's underselling how good Andy Summers was on those records. He wasn't super flashy but his "lead rhythm" style was a big influence on Alex Lifeson, among others.

I'm not sure how underrated Copeland is. In the conversation of best drummers in rock history, he's usually in the same grouping as Bonham and Peart. At least, he is to my thinking.

Asked if they had a Cert of Authenticity. They said no but the artist was at SDCC 2025.
So I replied, well that one you are selling does not look like the autograph I got from the artist personally back in 1999 at a con.
Now I am wondering if he will blow up.

Of all the great Police songs out there, for me 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' is perfection. I can just think about that song, and it makes me think about my wife with great fondness - even when she annoys me (which is not very often).

Wouldn't you know, the desire for a cigar just kind of evaporated after that.

Anyone here familiar with Robbie Williams? From what I understand he's a rock singer that's much more popular in the UK than in the US.
Anyway, he was a big fan of Video Killed The Radio Star and all of Trevor Horn's producing work. In 2009, when Robbie finally got Trevor to produce an album for him, he named it:
Reality Killed The Video Star.

In a memoire about a guy growing up in Alaska in the late 40's he talked about the Norwegian guy who lived on a claim up the river from them and would get drunk and throw the bottle with a post card in it into the river where it generally would wash up on the sand bar by the mouth of the river. They decided to mail one of the post cards to a friend in California to mail back.
The old guy was so excited, they decided to keep mailing them to various people his Dad knew all over, including in Africa and Asia.
Eventually he was so invested in this sort of thing that they never had the heart to tell him the truth.

One of my favorites is “Seasons”, some tunes are just fun to play, physically, as much as sonically. Hard to explain. This is one them. It’s in some weird tuning so I don’t mess with it too often, but it’s got some great riffs and killer crunch.

“Invisible Sun” was the song that got me to like The Police. “Roxanne” didn’t reach me on its release, and it was so overplayed that I never gave The Police any thought…until “Invisible Sun” made its debut on WMMR. It didn’t sound anything like “Roxanne”, and it immediately grabbed me. I became a fan, and eventually was able to sing along with the dreaded “Roxanne”.
I’ve loved “Journey Of The Sorcerer” since I first heard it as the theme song for Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy”.

Agree! One year, we had chicken-fried pork chops, salad, apple pie and *of course* mashed taters n gravy. It was a welcome change!
Helped that there were only 4 of us that year...a turkey would've been too much and none of us really cared for cranberry sauce, greenbean casserole or dinner rolls.

Posted by: fourseasons
I agree with both of these. I find a lot of people who complain about the work involved with the holidays, are the same people who drive themselves crazy trying to make everything perfect.
IMHO It's not necessary or even possible for everything to be just right every year, and I'd rather just relax with family than be forced (or force anyone else) to do, create and present all the "correct things."
When it comes to Thanksgiving, I have a sister who insists on doing it all anyway, and I'm thankful for her. But at the same time, I tell her every year, don't kill yourself. I wouldn't have any problem if we just went out to eat for Thanksgiving.

Bar band I often played in the sometime horn section in Baltimore did this. It was awesome, people screamed.
I lived with the bass player and it was my idea and he sold it to the band. Everyone thought it was a monster coupling. People went nuts.

On Yukon Cornelius - Casa Redux back always had/has a number of decorations from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV Special (Rankin Bass 1964) including a small, stuffed Yukon Cornelius. This was due to two facts: 1) we and the kids loved the show; and 2) we actually were friends with Arthur Rankin Jr. (of Rankin Bass) whom we met while sailing to/from, and then living in, Bermuda (Ca. 1996-2016) we lived there full time from 2010 to the end of 2026. Arthur was a true character, brilliant, a product of Vaudeville and a former Navy man! The world lost a great talent when he passed.

Parsley has furanocoumarins, the same as the weedy wild parsnip that photosensitizes your skin and causes burns. It also has oxalic acid, just the ticket for good strong kidney stones.

I always liked the song gates of steel. Probably the big power chords is what it is. One time at practice with this one band, probably in the mid 80s, the drummer was playing the same beat. He was testing something, can't remember if it was a snare drum or cymbal but he was just hammering the same beat. Of course asshole me cranks up the huge wall of amps, like really loud, and started hammering the chords. Then the bass player joins in, lol. We looked at each other and said yeah lets just pretend that didn't happen. lol

I did that several years ago (not $1k worth, though.)
One Cayman Islands dime, from a Caribbean cruise, somehow escaped from my "souvenirs" and found its way into my spare-change can.
Coin-counters make a heck of a racket when you put in a coin that they can't sort. Loudest dime ever.

Sounds like me. My tools have tools, lol. I have a fuck ton of mechanics tools. Thats no surprise because of the harley thing, and the car thing. Over the years I ended up with piles of the same things, just different brands. So there's 2 tall roller boxes packed. The contractor tools are the surprise. I have all the shit I had when I did kitchens and baths in a different life. It was all good stuff, a lot of the corded milwaukee stuff, some makita stuff, etc Sawzalls, circular saws, panel saws, worm drive saws for framing, actual swiss made bosch jigsaws for doing cutouts in countertops, etc. For some reason I have 5 times the amount of those tools than I had when I did it as a job. They just frigging multiply. Some of it's my fault, some I can't explain, lol.

Northern Lights over the "Garden of the Gods"
in Colorado Springs, by Daniel Forster
SAVAGE NATURE Toddler loves his horse. Airport reunion. Transom Cat watches you, judges you. Super senior dachshund out on an adventure. First snow of winter. Huge tree in a storm. This better not be AI. Cats are much more naive about AI. Flashback: Waterproof mobile phones in the early 2000s. European starlings are great mimics. Almost as good as the black guy in Police Academy. (Whose name I just realize I know, for some reason-- Michael Winslow. I wonder what important bit of knowledge my brain deleted to hard-code that.) Do you like monkeys? Do you like vermin who crawl all over you? Then you'll love monkey vermin.
If you see two people dancing, you're left-brained, if you see a bowl of fruit, you're right brained. Well okay but I see Elsie the cow and I can't unsee her, so I guess I'm just f***ed. Back me up -- it's a cow, right? That's not really proof of anything, I primed you to see a cow. But at least I'm no longer alone in the world.

There were some tropes on 1970s TV that seemed to pop up everywhere.
- The guy who doesn't know who he is or how he got there.
- The bad guy who does all his bad stuff in person, but dressed as a woman.
- The super-smart monkey who shows everyone up in every sitcom.

The one last year was visible to the naked eye and came in green and red colors, but the pictures really popped.
I don't know if it's just the phone camera or if any digital camera would do that (I neglected to run that experiment last night on account of it would have required driving out of town.)

Entertainment was once my gold standard for entertainment news. The finally jumped the shark for me when their movie reviews by Owen and Lisa went woke (she gave Juno an A- because Juno didn't abort her baby!), and then having Stephen King as a guest columnist (with a portrait of him looking like a demented The Grinch in really harsh ominous lighting). He was insufferable in those columns. I hate read them.
Horde, what are some of the greatest entertainment media casualties you wish the left hadn't ruined? EW as a magazine is up there for me, near the top. But wokeism plus internet killed it. I listen to youtubers for box office news and movie recommends now.
(Good luck with your new movie channel, TJM! Slow and steady, plus consistency, is key. Don't rush the process. Hopefully friends here and elsewhere like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to help your algorithm. Because the YT algorithm is a capricious she-devil of great evil.)

They probably used something in SoCal. There are lots of odd terrain here. One park on a hilltop has an area of cobbles cemented together...round river rocks . I had to buy better hiking shoes for that place since in gym shoes the foots bent in all the wrong places on the round lumpy ground.

Supposedly, it was sung by Loulie Jean Norman, a soprano coloratura, although there appears to be some disputation about this. The style of singing is known as 'faux-Latin'.
If you hear the singing, it is a Season 1 episode, as it was removed after Season 1.

Funny how the result of the woke - the removal of said honor to a black person, and Aunt Jemima is the removal of the honor. If you had a vicious racist doing the choosing the result would be the same.

And Uncle Ben. Sad how we lost our beloved Jemima, Ben and the Land O'Lakes maiden.
Makes me think back to the multi-racial neighborhood of my youth. We had white kids, mostly Italian and Polish, lots of black families, lots of brown familes (mostly Portuguese in our 'hood) a smattering of Chinese, Pacific Islander, some Native Americans off-the-nearby-rez, lots of Middle Eastern Christians (Syrian, Egyptian, Lebanese, Turkish.) And I can honestly say is that to us kids, what color/race/background someone was meant not one good goddam thing. Never. Nobody ever once said "Oh, we can't ask Paul to play football, he's black." That wasn't a thing that existed. All we cared about was if a kid was cool, and up for playing baseball, or basketball, or street hockey, or building a fort or whatever. Not one kid in my neighborhood regardless of color would ever have even thought to have been offended by Aunt Jemima.

The Old Farmer's Almanac is the oldest one, and continues.

It used to be, re-naming geological features, maps, mountains &c. was like pulling teeth. They didn’t want to do it, because it is a huge pain in the ass and, there will never be an end to it.
“Squaw” is the Indian word for Female. That’s it. There is no negative connotation to it. Or at least no more than ordinarily attached by the natives themselves.
Lewis & Clark noted that the practices varied widely among different nations. Some were quite enlightened, some were quite bad. One tribe relegated all menial tasks to the women, and the warriors laid around all day doing pretty much nothing. Noble Savage indeed.

Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween were in October.
Since I'm alone, I may see if I can help out at a soup kitchen on Christmas.
My friends came yesterday and we had our 4th annual Christmas in November party. The kids like to decorate the tree. Plenty of food brought by my friends. I had gifts for the kids.
The outside was decorated today. The lights look great. I have to do leaves one last time and may put out a few more spotlights. There's a few last little things inside - nothing major. It's just me and the dog in the house. Mom would love the decorations, as always.
And I don't give a crap about New Years. I guess I'm now good until the next Daylight savings time. Weird.

Bill Grandstaff lived in that canyon, all by hisself, in a cabin in the 19th Century. There weren’t hardly anybody living in Moab then. A black guy was pretty rare. So it’s easy to see how he got his nickname. They weren’t being mean, that was what they called him, probably simply to distinguish from any other Bills in the area.
They renamed it “Negro Bill” in the 1980s, maybe a little bit later.

I didn't even bother looking. The clouds were rolling in.
Plus, I was so spoiled about the Northern Lights. In April of 1985, buddy and I drove from Wyoming to Alaska, and we were treated to the most spectacular Lights ever. Four nights. So many variations. Dancing ribbons, all the colors, and some really weird stuff. North of Lethbridge, some time before dawn, the lights became a sheet of white feathers, from horizon to horizon. Very symmetrical. Like wallpaper.

"But something happened to Tucker Carlson in early 2023 that profoundly changed him.
In his own words, he was 'physically mauled by a demon or something unseen that left claw marks on my sides. Then I was seized with this very intense desire to read the Bible.'
The demon attacked him during his sleep, with his wife at his side and four dogs in the bed. In the interview he gave the Blaze 18 months later, he said he still bore the marks and woke up in the morning to find blood in the sheets." https://tinyurl.com/yc57pues

His berating of Ted Cruz for not knowing the population of Iran just before the JDAM bombing crossed over to feminine hysteria, IMHO.

Women in primitive societies are reserved to things you can do if pregnant in and around the home camp - most food prep. Men went out on more or less extended hunting expeditions that required some danger and strength to haul the food back. I suppose home duties needing male strength like raising a hut would also be done by men.. Dealing with tame animals like chickens would be mostly done by women.

I get it, the meanings of words can change. Maybe they shouldn’t. “Chicanos” was the preferred nomenclature for a short while. Then “Latinos”. “Hispanic” is a classification invented by the Nixon era HUD, iirc. For benefits purposes.
“Afro-American” held sway for a brief shining moment, after “Negro” fell out of favor. Currently “Black With A Capital B” is de rigeur, but must be coupled with “white” in lower case, to signify superiority. I first saw this in the rarified air of Academe 30 years ago. I called Bullshit on it then.

He will at some point wake us up to get out of the covers, then get back under them, maybe go potty, and will move me inch by inch so I'll wake up and find myself almost pushed the bed. And he refuses to move, so
I have to shove his dead weight back. And he often stretches out his legs so his claws dig into my legs and wake me up.
It is the most distracting, yet fulfilling, sleep. And I struggle to sleep when his weight isn't pressed to my side.

One of the accounts I always found amusing/enlightening was by Tacitus who traveled among the German tribes in the 1st century. He said the women appeared to do all the day to work, even with the animals. He said the men were large, but appeared to practice with their weapons while they drank their strongly brewed bier most of the day. And that the highlight of the day was always when 2 of them would engage in a huge one on one fight over some perceived insult. If both survived they would go back to drinking with each other.
Well some things never change.

A Communist society is stagnant pursuant to evolutionary growth. It stifles any merit system. It rewards the wrong people, thus negating innovation.
I think shutting down Chinese participation in the US colleges and kicking them out of the US immediately makes a move on Taiwan inevitable.

Z Nation a good knock off farce of TWD. Black Summer was a fairly good prequel to Z Nation. Short but fair enough. It was serious and two seasons was enough.

Milan Prosecutors Investigate Supposed "Sniper Tourism," Involving Wealthy Elites Paying Guides to Take Them to the Bosnian War Zones to Kill People With Rifles
This sounds like a sci-fi action movie plot, which makes me skeptical.
Milan prosecutors investigate alleged 'sniper tourism' during Bosnian war Groups from Italy and elsewhere alleged to have paid Serb soldiers to shoot Sarajevo residents during siegeThis sounds to me like a dark fantasy that this guy wants to be true. People are comforted by the thought that the world is better than it really is. But other people are just as comforted by the idea that the world is much worse than it really is. Add into that Italy's very vibrant Communist scene, where there's always a market for stories about greedy capitalist pigs killing the virtuous poor, and... I'm going to want more proof than a "journalist's" research. And this is an idea that just seems to capture the public's imagination. I've seen most of these Humans Hunting Humans films. One I always see referenced, and want to see some day, is "The Tenth Victim" from 1965 starring Ursula Andress and Marcello Mastroianni.
Prosecutors in Milan have opened an investigation into Italians who allegedly paid members of the Bosnian Serb army for trips to Sarajevo so that they could kill citizens during the four-year siege of the city in the 1990s. More than 10,000 people were killed in Sarajevo by constant shelling and sniper fire between 1992 and 1996 in what was the longest siege in modern history, after Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia. The snipers were perhaps the most feared element of life under siege in Sarajevo because they would pick off people on the streets, including children, at random, as if it was a video game or a safari. Groups of Italians and other nationalities, so-called "sniper tourists", are alleged to have participated in the massacre after paying large sums of money to soldiers belonging to the army of Radovan Karadžić, the former Bosnian Serb leader who in 2016 was found guilty of genocide and other crimes against humanity, to be transported to the hills surrounding Sarajevo so that they could shoot at the population for pleasure. Sarajevo is in a basin surrounded by mountains, which made cutting it off and attacking it particularly easy. Milan prosecutors, led by Alessandro Gobbi, launched an investigation aimed at identifying the Italians involved on charges of voluntary murder aggravated by cruelty and abject motives. The investigation originated from a legal complaint submitted by Ezio Gavazzeni, a Milan-based writer who gathered evidence on the allegations, as well as a report sent to the prosecutors by the former mayor of Sarajevo, Benjamina Karić. ... In the documentary, a former Serb soldier and a contractor claimed that groups of westerners would shoot at the civilian population from the hills around Sarajevo. Its claims have been vehemently denied by Serbian war veterans. ... Gavazzeni claimed "many, many, many Italians" were alleged to have been involved, without providing a figure. "There were Germans, French, English ... people from all western countries who paid large sums of money to be taken there to shoot civilians." He claimed the Italian suspects would meet in the northern city of Trieste and travel to Belgrade, from where the Bosnian Serb soldiers would accompany them to the hills of Sarajevo. "There was a traffic of war tourists who went to there to shoot people," he said. "I call it an indifference towards evil."
The 10th Victim (Italian: La decima vittima) is a 1965 science fiction film directed and co-written by Elio Petri, starring Marcello Mastroianni, Ursula Andress, Elsa Martinelli, and Salvo Randone. An international co-production between Italy and France, it is based on Robert Sheckley's 1953 short story "Seventh Victim". Taking place in the year 2079 in the aftermath of World War III, the film's focus is on a government-endorsed program known as "The Big Hunt", whereby contestants from around the world act as "hunters" and "victims" in two-person battles to the death as a means of avoiding mass warfare. The plot follows veteran Big Hunt contestants Caroline Meredith (Andress) and Marcello Poletti (Mastroianni), who are respectively assigned the roles of hunter and victim for one such confrontation, which is complicated by their budding romance. Like Petri's other films, The 10th Victim is a work of socio-political satire, while also combining science fiction themes with conventions of the commedia all'italiana genre.[6]I did see the Ozploitation version of this story, in Turkey Shoot. I don't recommend it. Trashy but not trashy fun. I think the Edgar Wright directed The Running Man remake opens this weekend. Octopussy had a three-minute human safari sequence, and it was the worst part of the movie. So it's something that just seems to grip people's minds. But I don't remember hearing about any cases where this actually happened, though. And, on a practical level: I think someone entering a war zone with a sniper rifle would be fired upon themselves, and I wonder exactly which of the wealthy, pampered, likely old people were willing to risk that. I'm also a little wary of Italian prosecutors making action/horror movie claims. In read the terrific true-crime book by Douglas Preston, The Monster of Florence, the so-called "Jack the Ripper of Italy," operating there in the 80s and 90s. In my review, I relayed that there are more dangers there than serial killers:
Italy's a lovely place, but take this advice: Never be accused of committing a serious crime there. I'm not saying don't commit a serious crime; chances are, you'd get away with it. I'm saying don't be accused of committing a serious crime, especially if you're innocent, because that's when the Italian justice system seems to go into Berserker Mode to convict you. The clownshow of Italian justice is jaw-slackening stuff. Add into that the medieval -- if that -- banditry of the Sardinian mountain clans and a local populace absolutely terrified of an audacious murderer that simply cannot be found, and the panics and paranoias that grip the area and DAs and head detectives who rely on the theories of shrieky, conspiratorial bloggers, pushing bizarre theories about aristocrats and doctors in Satanic Cults trading in female sexual organs (because the most psychic energy is contained in sexual organs from people killed at the point of orgasm, you know.... didn't you know that? I thought everyone knew that). I'm only halfway through and I haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet. (The authors may or may not be threatened to be jailed unless they leave Italy and/or actually thrown in jail for daring to report on this insanity... by the DA pushing the Satanic Sex Cult Genital Trafficking theory of the case.)I have no information about Milan's prosecutors but having read about Florence's, I'm skeptical. The prosecutor pushing the "doctors and lawyers are the real serial killers" line got embarrassed that his Interesting Theories were never proven, and was embarrassed more when it turned out some of his sources and accusers were homeless drunks. How they knew the skinny on Italy's aristocrats and their secret Satanic sex parties, I don't know. He then repackagef his Satanic Sex Orgy theories of murder by... prosecuting Amanda Knox under a similar sort of "satanic sex orgy gone wrong" murder theory. The actual killer in that case turned out to be an African immigrant and drifter and noted "girl-botherer" -- sex pest -- with a criminal history of breaking into people's homes for petty theft and then taking a poop there. Which is exactly what happened in the Meredith Kercher murder, except she came home while he was burgling the place. His DNA and bloody handprints were found everywhere. A very likely suspect with a ton of evidence against him... but no razzle-dazzle, you know? No va-va-voom. The DA was too invested in his "Satanic Sex Orgy" theory so he just claimed that the sex-pest immigrant burglar had, for some reason, been recruited into the orgy murder scenario by Amanda Knox. So that's why I'm very skeptical. It just doesn't seem very likely to me. I'll ask Colonel Kurt Schlichter if he remembers any intel about Human Hunts when he was serving over in Kosovo but I imagine he already would have written a couple of thriller books about it if he had.
U.S. Senator John FettermanThat's so Lumpy Jack.
@SenFettermanPA
Statement from Sen. Fetterman's Spokesperson: "During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh. Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries. Senator Fetterman had this to say: 'If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!'
He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen. Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care."The "LOVE IS LOVE" brigades continue thirsting for a man's death:

I think it's naivete. Here's why: You have to believe in levels of depravity in people that have never before seen in history. (Not this particular kind of depravity.)
Buuuuuut... you also have to put it out of your mind that sometimes writers and "journalists" lie for gain.
I don't know how you do the former, and then ignore the latter.
People lie. People are crazy. Believing something just because someone you never heard of said something and made some claims is naive about the sport of lying, which so many enjoy and make a profit at.
If there's evidence, sure, I'll look at it and re-examine. But "some guy said so and passed a report on to a mayor" is not evidence.

Someone on youtube was commenting that ignoring Fuentes is like ignoring the Bavarian corporal in 1938.

As far as I can see, no one ever described a Fuentes speech as being "turned inside out like a glove".
Analogies are only as useful as they are.
You can put various people into that proposition: "Ignoring X is like ignoring the Viennese Corporal" (he wished he'd been a Bavarian!)
This is likely also from people who have a suspect use of the word "like". Yes, "ignoring" one politico is *inherently* "like" ignoring another. In that a political figure is ignored.
There are so many people who use a single overlap as "like".

If I recall how the story goes, it was suppose to be cancelled after season 4. The final episode that was shown at the end of season 5, was shot in season 4, as B5 was getting cancelled. Then, it wasn't cancelled and the mad scramble to get a final season in began. Hence the not very good season 5.

I spent quite a bit of time in Sarajevo in 2021, and the locals would frequently point out where the snipers were stationed, and some of the long outdoor staircases where people were frequently shot along "sniper alley."
Also, throughout the city, on the sidewalk were "Sarajevo Roses"

As I understand, where mortars and artillery struck and killed civilians, they filled in the damaged concrete a bit and painted the damaged area red. They're all over the city.

No I know humans do depraved things but where is the historical precedent for this? when have elites paid people to take them to isolated places so they could hunt man?
I know the fictional precedents. They are legion. But where is the real-life precedent?

I don't question the depravity, I question the practicality of it.
Sarajevo was under siege, and that means there were lines all around the city, including the backfield to prevent infiltrators from getting in. So the 'tourists' would have to negotiate a way through all that, then literally have a sniper position in the front lines, and everyone on their own side would be fine about it, because if they don't know who is there, THEY will shot them.

Sniper - chic has been too big a thing for a while now, even getting into video games. And to balance Ace's comment on the risks, shooting at long range at civilians is about as safe as it can get with NATO ruling the air at the time. And the risk is part of the thrill I'd expect.

We do know that serial killers stalk and "hunt" people, in a way. But they're rare and therefore they have to be solo operators. Every once in a blue moon two psychopaths get together and you have a duo.
But dozens of wealthy europeans all seeking out this kind of "fun" and creating a market for human hunt guides?
Skeptical! If there really wee so many people with this kink, we'd've already seen such things in the past. But we haven't seen that, so there probably just aren't enough people who crave hunting humans to create a cottage industry servicing that craving.

tons but they're each solo operators. I'm making a numbers-based argument: There just aren't enough of these sickos that they can find each other and form a club, much less a cottage industry that services them.
I guess the Manson family, kind of, but that was, what was his name, "Tex" and two accomplices. And they didn't find each other FOR murder, they found each other because it was some kind of free love hippie commune. The murder came after that.

Ammonia fortunately has a very strong smell before it is toxic, but my nose can't measure that exact deadly rate.

The tourists would presumably have escorts and would have friendly uniforms once everyone is paid off. Then all you would need is an observation / sniper post where real snipers could set up a shot and swap in the tourist to pull the trigger.

I don't totally agree with that. But we can get closer to that model in our thinking by dispelling "possibility" as that which is not decidedly impossible.
Thus a combination of that rule and the "Simulation Hypothesis" would be we are "in a simulation" only if such thing is fully feasible, and if we are not in one, it would go toward the infeasibility of sentient beings "in a simulation".
None of the factors we know to any degree of specifiability.

That's also a lot of payoffs and people who have to be repeatedly paid off and would face no penalty for diming you out.
Like maybe drill you, and the tourists and take their stuff. Or hold them hostage for a ransom.

King's movies really show his disdain for religion. It's boring and preachy. That's why asian films are better.
I think people mentioned 'The Audition' and 'Ichi the Killer' which were cool movies from Japan. On Tubi, I think. I really liked 'Signal 100' too.

There is one aspect of the film that merits viewing: A side character who also one of the "hunters' played by a very sexy Italian actress. Just googled it now, and her name was apparently Elsa Martinelli. For her brief scenes, The 10th victim might be worth checking out. also, just to say you've seen it, for film Snob points.

And certainly not in a war zone with very limited access. The road network is really constrained so lots of checkpoints and people to wonder who the tourists are.

They'd be a lot less threadbare after they got the payoff and vanished out of the army.
There were stories in Ukraine that the UKR black market sold western tanks to Russia, and just about everything else worldwide routinely. Doing things off the books is managed all the time.
I'm no idea if its true, but lots of shady operators exist and operate in war zones.

Pilfering supplies and arms trading are very different from bringing in outsiders, managing to get them through the rear area security and then have a nice, cozy sniper nest waiting for them to take shots (and maybe draw return fire on the position) and then get out again.
If these people are rich enough to pay off a bunch of people, they are rich enough to pay a hefty ransom, which is what would happen. I mean, if we're talking about depravity, it cuts both ways. Why would the guys running a murder tourism gig keep their word?

God exists if an entity has the "power of God" (where sentience being the power of "self-determination" which is arguably a "power"). God is only possible if and only if that entity ("He") is.
How much power God then has, only he has the observational platform to see. Although it is a comprehensible strategy to bound the actual by the probable and the probable by the actual, we are speaking of filling in for our ignorance, however "high-percentage" it arguably is. And thus we cannot claim to know absolutely, where as an observer with all power--given "knowledge", i.e. the accumulation of all knowable aspects and integration--as a form of power.

It will be interesting to see a Utah Democrat who gets to take all the masks off and show what Utah Democrat values REALLY are.

Atlas Shrugged is about the competent going on strike against their collectivist society and opting out through the eyes of a 'scab' trying to preserve her railroad.
while I didn't read the Fountainhead, I'd add that I think they're in different genres. I think the Fountainhead is a semi-plausible drama about one man trusting himself and guarding his own individuality, and rejecting the demands for comformity by committee, and Atlas Shrugged is a sci-fi type of story about men who trusts themselves over the collective, so they all abandon the collective world and set up their own commune of individualists in colorado.
The world outside collapses because Atlas -- the giant holding up the heavens -- shrugged off his burden.

You may recall that he used his Super Science to cut in on all radio broadcasts, then proceeded to Regurgitate a Rand Rant for page after page after page.
In the book, listeners stayed glued to the radio.
In real life, people would say "Isn't this asshole ever going to shut the fuck up?" and turn the radio off.
Me, I started skipping pages. Five pages. Ten pages. Twenty pages. As I recall the damned thing is like 75 pages long, and every bit of it is regurgitating the same philosophical points as the rest of the book.

Likely Movie: The Ipcress File (1965)
Based on your description, the film that best matches is The Ipcress File, a British spy thriller directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Michael Caine as the sharp-witted, working-class secret agent Harry Palmer. It's from 1965 (late '60s), fits the era perfectly, and was a staple of late-night TV broadcasts in the '70s and '80s, including around 1983 when you saw it. The plot revolves around Cold War espionage, government betrayal, and psychological manipulation—elements that would have felt fresh and intriguing at the time, especially with its gritty, realistic tone contrasting flashier Bond films.
Quick Plot Summary (Spoiler-Light) The Setup and Amnesia Element: Palmer is a clever, street-smart agent in his 30s, reassigned to a low-key intelligence unit after bending rules in his previous job. He's well-dressed in a nondescript suit, speaks with dry, educated sarcasm (but no posh accent), and is deeply cynical about authority. Early on, while heading to a routine assignment, he's kidnapped and subjected to intense sensory

The “tell” that the story was fake was when, to “prove” that it happened, Harry Reid sued the equipment manufacturer for damages. It went to trial and the manufacturers legal team said “well can you produce the equipment so we can tell how it failed?”
And Reid said oops so sorry I forgot and threw it away. And that was the end of that.

Entertainment was once my gold standard for entertainment news. The finally jumped the shark for me when their movie reviews by Owen and Lisa went woke (she gave Juno an A- because Juno didn't abort her baby!), and then having Stephen King as a guest columnist (with a portrait of him looking like a demented The Grinch in really harsh ominous lighting). He was insufferable in those columns. I hate read them.

I remember an SF story with a similar start. Dude comes to a psychiatrist with his story starting there. He was near a lumberjack camp and worked there for a while, then one day an accident happens and he finds he can shape change. He thinks he was 'dropped off' by aliens and they form a theory that if they find his correct form it will break the amnesia. They experiment for a while with no results - aside from shape changing working - finally the psychiatrist goes to the area trying to figure out why he was dropped in that place particularly. He gets a flash and tells him to change form to a woman, and it works. They dropped him in an area where he would run into men first.

Late 60’s there was a year or two where everybody had to have a monkey. Ellie May had a monkey, even Judy Robinson on Lost in Space had a monkey. Which was the stupidest looking monkey ever, because in order to make it into a space monkey they took a chimpanzee and stuck something like donkey ears on it.

To be fair to Bev Hillbillies Ellie had tons of animals of all sorts from the very first episodes, even cats and such. Somebody must have owed favors to the animal handler trade in CA at the time. They were ozark type animals at first, then more oddball ones as they moved in to the mansion.

Just-Completed Chinese Bridge Collapses, Tom Friedman Hardest Hit
Plus: The Tenth Annivesary of the Savage Bataclan Attack in Paris
I always hate linking stuff that shows China in a good light in the Cafe. If there's a Chinese foot-bridge connecting two mountains, I'll link it, but say something like "I don't like linking China, but they do some impressive civil engineering." Partly to justify linking anything that might seem pro-China, and partly because I'm wistful about the days of great American civil engineering.
The last time I said that, a few commenters said: No they don't. Alluding to the tendency for these impressive structures to sometimes collapse even more impressively. (I did also allude to that when I linked a glass alpine roller coaster going down a mountain's side, saying that China's lack of concern for human life allows them to build some fun-but-lethal amusement rides.) Anyway, my mistake on ever saying China did some impressive civil engineering.A bridge has collapsed after just one month of being open to the public.
A massive bridge at a hydropower station in southwest China collapsed Tuesday, sending concrete and steel plunging into a river just months after it opened, according to Chinese state media. Reuters reported that an official from Barkam County confirmed the collapse to the Chinese state-run Global Times, saying no casualties had been reported.Sure. Sure. Sure sure sure. Suuuuuuuure. Sure sure sure sure sure sure sure. S U R E There are no casualties. However, dozens of engineers, minor officials. and witnesses have been Reported Missing. No but seriously, the bridge began collapsing over a period of hours, so they did have time to divert traffic. Though they don't say they "stopped" traffic, only that they imposed "temporary traffic controls."
Fox says "Reuters contributed to this report." I think I see Reuters' influence in vouching for the speedy, decisive action by the wonderful Red China government.
The report added that cracks were detected a day earlier on the bridge's road surface and slope, prompting authorities to impose temporary traffic controls. Footage of the collapse, shared widely on Chinese social media, showed the Hongqi Bridge in Sichuan Province buckling before falling into the river below, kicking up a massive cloud of dust. ... Local transportation and public security bureaus said the right-bank slope of the bridge showed signs of deformation Monday afternoon, just hours before the collapse. Authorities quickly shut down the structure to all traffic and issued a public notice warning of potential safety risks.
I think Tibet would disagree about the importance of being connected to Red China.
... According to Times Now, the Hongqi Bridge was located in Sichuan Province's mountainous Maerkang area and completed earlier this year as part of the G317 national highway--an important route connecting central China to Tibet.
The 758-meter-long, cantilevered two-lane beam bridge stood roughly 625 meters above the gorge floor, with piers reaching up to 172 meters in height. It was built by the state-backed Sichuan Road & Bridge Group as part of efforts to expand access to the Tibetan Plateau.

10 years after Bataclan massacre, Paris is still scarred by Islamic State attacks PARIS (AP) -- Sophie Dias fought tears outside the Stade de France on Thursday as she described her "void that never closes" since her father became the first person killed in France's deadliest peacetime attack -- a night of terrorism a decade ago that still scars Paris and shapes the country. The coordinated assaults on Nov. 13, 2015 turned the French capital into a theater of blood and calamity: gunfire on café terraces, explosions at a stadium, a massacre at the Bataclan concert hall. Many in France and abroad have described the attacks as the country's 9/11. The attacks killed 132 people, including two survivors who later died by suicide, and hundreds more were wounded. The night hardened France's security reflexes while deepening a sense of solidarity that has endured a decade later -- with many families now measuring time as "before" and "after." Dias' father, Manuel, died when the first bomber detonated outside the Stade de France. Speaking at the stadium gate where he was killed, she said the absence he left "weighs every morning and every evening, for 10 years." "We are told to turn the page," she said. "But the absence is immense, the shock is intact and the incomprehension remains. I'd like to know why, I'd like to understand. I'd like these attacks to stop."
Gavin McInnesI don't know about that...
@Gavin_McInnes Ten years ago today, jihadists murdered 130 Parisians in a savage and animalistic attempt to provoke a Holy War. They started by literally eviscerating the hipsters who adore them.
Yes, Eagles of Death Metal. Lemme dig up the interview. Staff was very sketchy beforehand. Victims were literally gutted, pregnant women opened up, genitals cut off and stuffed in mouths etc. Real horror movie shit. https://t.co/hNJlDH5T9y

The Reaping Phase
@AceofSpadesHQ
En route home in an Uber driven by a cultural enricher ten years ago, I was told that the question I should be asking about the slaughter in the Bataclan theater is *why* they did it, that is, I should be writing about their grievances and their justification for mass slaughter. this is while the bodies were still being counted. there is no slaughter by Islamists that is not grist for immediate pro-Islamist propaganda. I would describe this guy's comportment, as radio reports about the mass slaughter were coming over the radio, as excited like a kid on Christmas morning he was beaming and vibrating. and let me emphazise I, and my two companions, were absolute strangers to him. He felt perfectly comfortable and indeed proud to say that the real story of the mass slaughter was the Muslim grievances which justified it. Lord knows what he says in private.

The problem is that they didn't built this bridge in, like, the Rocky Mountain Range of central Colorado where the mountains are Precambrian gneiss and granite. They built the bridge in western China.
The engineers did their job, which was a stupid job, ordered by stupid people. What are you going to do against a Communist government? Tell the truth?

Lucius Fabricius, iirc.
There was a legend i heard that he was offered a bonus when the bridge contract was handed out that if the bridge lasted for X number of years (20, I think?) He would earn a bonus.
Well. I wonder if it actually got paid out as it would have been hitting 20 years about the time of Civil Wars...

___________________________________
There is a great video on YouTube of a Billionaire investor (I think from the US) who went to China to finalize a project and no one tried to bribe him or do last minute changes to the contract, or even extortion. He said that right away he became wary. He couldn't figure out what they were up to. So, he held off on signing the contract. Days later, after reviewing the contract, he found subtle changes they had made without authorization.
He, also, talked about the Vaults. China will take foreigners down into the Vaults and show them a safety deposit box with a gold plaque engraved with their name, and inside are various "treasures" that you get if you comply with their requests. I often wondered how many US congressmen have such boxes.

From what I gather, the anchor points for the bridge shifted, causing the bridge to start tearing itself apart. The mountain collapsing finished the job.

1. China is building a lot of bridges. They are also cutting a lot of corners. They might even expect some of them to fail. Their goal is to build quick and cheap.
2. Think of it like our own transcontinental rail project.
3. The real fiasco is that they are building this route in order to digest and destroy Tibet. They want transportation to inundate it with Han.
4. All that said, It looks like it failed because of incompetence and bad engineering.

There was an enormous amount of attention to detail even using dental picks to give the spillway purchase to competent 'bedrock'. I note that it appears there still is some migration of water from the lake to the seams of the spillway track. Kiewit is still there with some trailers equipment 24/7. It's an impressive structure and certainly much improved over the original that lasted 50 years but I betcha they didn't plan on leaks.

Grievances? What grievances? I wipe my ass with their grievances.
The only way the West will survive is if we accept and understand that islam is not compatible. They have found a weakness in our system and they are exploiting it. To survive, we must put aside our notions of equality and freedom and thus ban islam, their books, their flags, their buildings, and their people from our land. The entire West.
Then we must push them back and take the Christian resources they have stolen in the M. E. including the oil they are using to get rich and spread their slavery.

Jesse had talked about how security asked his girlfriend, Tuesday Cross, if she was Arab, & when she told him she was Mexican they were like "oh never mind" (sidenote look up about the beautiful way Jesse fought for Tuesday after she fell in to a diabetic coma, & doctors wanted to pull the plug on her. He's shown such beautiful love taking care of her and trying to get her to return to normal, although she's now so handicapped)
He pointed out how backstage doors were propped open, which is a huge no-no for sound complaints at this place.
But most importantly he said how security in front of the stage completely disappeared before the attack started.
The owner said he was a racist & conspiracy theorist for this. Until the French enquiry where all the horrible details emerged. And in those details was a picture of the band playing before the attack, no security in front of the stage.
The owner who only hired Moroccan immigrants, smeared him because he knew he was culpable.

No, that's the communism. China used to have an honor-based culture, and Taiwan still does. Pride in craftsmanship, pride in family.
Mao killed all that. Now it's just "get mine, screw you." No Confucian notion of excellence and harmony, just get what you can.
This is why I question China's military capability. Yes, I've got a book that you all should read, but near the end I note that the combination of China's traditional anti-military culture, the Imperial imperative to save face and cover up shortfalls is now combined with communism's amoral pursuit of the Party line and rampant corruption that would make the Mandarins blush.

Traditional China had serious engineering chops. They invented gunpowder (though didn't know what to do with it) and their cities were amazing. Chinese siege warfare was something else.
But communism took the idea of low bidder to new depths. The Party believes in nothing but itself and the personal enrichment of its members. Even the Soviets could do quality control on T-34s and stuff. I don't think the ChiComs have any notion of what that even in.

The Chinese do not have any ethical considerations of the value of the individual. Without the Creator God, they are all in it for themselves. Autonomy, certainly, so they can do as they please. It is difficult for us to understand that mindset, because we have the Judeo-Christian framework that values each person as a child of God.
I think that accounts for the misery of life in China from time immemorial.

You'd have to be so specific about who you killed, because the ones doing all this do not care about the vast majority of their fellow Muslims. They are just potential suicide vest recruits. They literally could not care less about some random village in any of the 'stans.
Best start off with nukes.
Or else target some of the leader's families, and even then, make sure it's favorite sons.

Projection is certainly a big issue for them for a lot of reason including geography and both a huge and aging population. The flip side is that damaging them with our military is just about impossible. Terrain and weather makes digging even a weak army out of all that land will be impossible.

Ace, I have to thank you for my paying attention to that crud on the bottom of slime ooze, Fuentes. I saw really horrible stuff about him today. Worse than I thought. I was arguing with someone who turned it into him not liking Fuentes but, somehow, calling me a neo-con who wants war. Um, no. I specifically called on the division of conservatives over this matter he, Carlson and Cookie Candace are spewing.
I ripped a few huge farhts in his direction and, in turn, digging up some stuff on Fuentes. Not only anti-semitic but he compared the deaths of Jews, the numbers, to baking cookies and using basic math. With a sneer on his ugly face.
I did my part as I do see this division and I am not one to turn away from a fight, altho I try to avoid it and peace, man. Blows kisses!

Current China is not historical China.
Traditional Chinese culture values the collective and the family rather than the individual, but compared to the West there was a path for people of any class to pass the Imperial Examinations and become part of the elite.

This will end up getting willowed, but I agree with you completely. The over-riding problem with much of Asian culture is the lack of Judeo-Christian ethics. Cambodia under Pol Pot is more damning than anything Lenin or Stalin dreamed of. More than 20 percent of that country was murdered or starved in a few short years because there was no cultural limitation to what one could do and still be considered "normal". Somehow a country that had about 8 million people killed/starved around 2 million of its population.

The Chinese government subverted the efforts of Catholics in China. They now have the "Patriotic Catholic Church" which is a mouthpiece for the commies, and the True Church is entirely underground and persecuted like nobody's business.

2. However, because the government has a monopoly on information, the architects of the system get to laud the shoddier quality produced as "proof the system works" (regardless of whether it does or not).
3. While shoddy quality exists in a Free Market, the failure to produce the quality product of people's demand is not as likely to be systemic. And the challenge is to another part of the market to provide a higher quality good that actually is the most worthy to trade cash for.
Conclusion: Marxism is much more likely to produce a dearth of quality than Free economies. Especially since the body responsible for the product does not have an equal monopoly on the information that can be disseminated.
Musk might possibly try to suppress scandals about Tesla quality on X, but he does not "Own the means of production" for all information. A Marxian system does by design.

Remember party of their tenant is to destroy churches and build mosques on the ground to show victory and dominance.

I have an '88 BC Rich Gunslinger. I hardly ever play anymore (it was always a hobby for me, to be honest - not all-in like my buddy), but I love that axe. The neck is very friendly for my average sized hands, and it has an EMG pickup and a Floyd Rose tremolo. It's fun to mess around with it. Got a couple of Peavey amps as well. But, alas, they are in storage. We live in an apartment currently.

The CR is what America's left is trying to do now. They're just trying to do it without too much violence, using social ostracization and intimidation instead.
But the American left is now also convincing itself that violence is okay and necessary.

Re: Bataclan
One security video clip that really stuck with me is when two women hid behind a planter just outside a cafe and one of the savages walked up with his Kalashnikov, bent over the planter and pointed the rifle at them point blank. But the Kalash was jammed and wouldn't fire. When the women realized it, they stood up and ran down the street while he struggled with the bolt, trying to clear the stoppage.
I don't know which was more terrifying to watch, a goat-fucking savage on a rampage, or the Hand of God coming down and giving the most reliable human-made assault rifle in the world a good choking to save the two women.

As far as I can see, no one ever described a Fuentes speech as being "turned inside out like a glove".
Analogies are only as useful as they are.
You can put various people into that proposition: Ignoring X is like ignoring the Viennese Corporal (he wished he'd been a Bavarian!)
This is likely also from people who have a suspect use of the word "like". Yes, "ignoring" one politico is *inherently* "like" ignoring another. In that a political figure is ignored.
There are so many people who use a single overlap as "like".

Communist Spy Asset and Adulterer Eric Swalwell Referred to the DOJ for Mortgage Fraud
Imma be honest with y'all, I think this is the weakest such referral yet.
Unless he's did what "Big Tish" James and claimed multiple properties to be his primary residence in applying for reduced mortgage rates, I think he skates. The basic claim here is that he said his DC residence was his "primary" residence and got a $1.2 million mortgage. The purported inconsistency is that a California representative is supposed to be primarily domiciled in California. But he's claiming his DC mansion is his primary residence, so he's not actually a California resident! And if he's telling the truth about being primarily domiciled in DC, he can't be a Representative from California! Uhhhh... I mean, kind of? I don't think it will hold up. Again, not unless he is claiming both a California home as his primary residence for mortgage purposes along with his DC house. In that case, there's a clear inconsistency between the representations he's making to banks. But... yeah I don't know if maintaining a residence in California while claiming primary residence in DC is "fraud." Maybe his alleged "constituents" in California have reason to not vote for him, given that he legally considers himself a DC resident, but... I don't think he's guilty of criminal fraud based on only this. Sort of like Donald Trump's "fraud" on Deutsche Bank for giving his collateral properties a supposed over-evaluation is really Deutsche Bank's bitch to pitch, not Soros DA Alvin Bragg's. But then, the left thought that was a perfectly reasonable prosecution, sooooo... NY Post:Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) was hit with a federal criminal referral for alleged mortgage and tax fraud related to his purchase of a $1.2 million home in Washington, DC, that he claimed as a primary residence, The Post has confirmed. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte in a Wednesday letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi requested an investigation of Swalwell based on allegedly false and misleading statements he made about the purchase, NBC News first reported. The California Democrat was able to secure millions of dollars' worth of loans and refinancing based on the primary residence declaration in DC, a source familiar with the referral said. The designation could constitute mortgage fraud, insurance fraud and state and local tax fraud, among other charges, the source noted. In addition to the Department of Justice criminal referral, FHFA's inspector general is probing the alleged mortgage fraud. "As the most vocal critic of Donald Trump over the last decade and as the only person who still has a surviving lawsuit against him, the only thing I am surprised about is that it took him this long to come after me," Swalwell responded in a statement.Yeah they're all guilty. Saying you're just as innocent as they are does you no good. Go do anal with a Chicom spook grooming you for intelligence and influence, Fartwell. What an asshole.
"Like James Comey and John Bolton, Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook, Letitia James and the dozens more to come -- I refuse to live in fear in what was once the freest country in the world," added the California congressman, who is now the fourth Democratic official to be targeted for mortgage fraud by the Trump administration.

or...
2) He lied on his mortgage app, and does have a California domicile and thus CAN represent the state of California BUT IS guilty of mortgage fraud.

You get one primary residence for mortgage purposes. Not 2, or 3, or 5. And claiming something as a primary residence means you get a lower interest rate. It can mean saving thousands per year, which is why these people do it.
They do this knowingly, and it is a corrupt practice. And it has gone on for decades.

So there's this, as rickb223 pointed out last thread:
Swalwell not only committed mortgage fraud — he deemed himself INELIGIBLE to be a member of Congress, as he declared his DC residence his primary residence.
No public record searches show a home owned or leased by Rep. Swalwell in California.
Members of Congress are required under Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution to be “inhabitants” of the state they represent at the time of their election.
Rep. Swalwell was not and IS not an inhabitant of California, it seems.

But Texas has the luxury of letting DC do its foreign policy and trade policy. Texans don't need a legislature running throughout every year.
DC does, like it or not. So whoever is representing Odessa to DC might actually need to spend most his/her time over there.
If it's a legal fiction that the Odessa rep has its "home" among the cows and high school football stadium, when it's actually living around Capitol Hill or Georgetown most of the time; then it holds true for that flatulent gasbag from California too.

I'm not seeing where that is required. There's a requirement that a representative be an "inhabitant" of the state they represent at the time of election. But "inhabitant" seems to be something less than "primary domicile."
I'll bet 100s of representatives claim their DC homes are "primary" for mortgage purposes.

Yes, he has. September 22, 2025
Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Order to designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
The Order notes that Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that calls for the overthrow of the U.S. government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law—using illegal means, including violence and terrorism, to accomplish these goals.
The Order directs the Federal government to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle all illegal operations conducted by Antifa ...etc

------
Full disclosure is always advised. One Broker I know asserted that if one spilled a cup of water on a kitchen counter, it was better to disclose that than risk later being accused of non-disclosure. I used the phrase "immaterial" in my previous post because the nicked tile you described was in plain sight and noticeable not only at showing but also through-out the inspection process. If it was never brought to your attention throughout the showing and inspection process, it likely was considered unimportant to the buyer.

Besides which, do we think the Constitution meant "primary domicile as recorded on a mortgage application"?

For 9 months, most of everything has been of a negative nature...which it needed to be - deportations needed to happen, funds and feds needed to be cut, the military and foreign countries/companies needed to be put back in line...
But now I think everyone needs a little boost. And it doesn't need to be monetary. It just needs to stop the relentless focus on the negative and use the season to emphasize the positive. Melania might be perfect here...
I just think it will go a long way with everyone. Like this is a "what makes America" great as we enter next year's celebrations.
A spotlight on a small town, a heroic act, a 95 year volunteer, a beautiful holiday site, etc...Have people nominate what makes America great for social media and the press secretary to have a new story for the day.

Article I, Section 2 specifies three requirements: a person must be at least 25 years old, have been
a U.S. citizen for seven years, and, at the time of the election, be an “Inhabitant of that State in
which he shall be chosen.”
This language, known as the Inhabitant Clause, is the only residency requirement imposed by the Constitution.
The key detail is that a representative must live in the state they represent, not necessarily the specific congressional district. The framers chose the word “inhabitant” over “resident” to accommodate individuals who might be away from home for extended periods. As long as a candidate resides within the state’s boundaries at the time of the election, they have met the constitutional standard for residency, even if their home is located miles outside their district’s lines.

These practices, in conjunction with aggressive sales tactics, enabled Crazy Eddie to significantly undercut competitors and grow rapidly. During the process of going public, Crazy Eddie continued to engage in fraud, over-reporting profits, inflating inventory and duping auditors. Unable to sustain his fraudulent business practices, co-founder Eddie Antar cashed in millions of dollars' worth of stock and resigned from the company in December 1986. "

Doctorin' the POTUS: The BBC Aired More Doctored Video of Trump
The BBC didn't just run heavily-doctored video of Trump seeming to urge his supporters to go to the Capitol and riot on the premiere BBC program (or 'programme') Panorama.
They ran similar doctored footage on BBC Newsnight. That means more editors and "journalists" saw the footage and decided to lie. In addition, it is now revealed that they were warned about the deceptive nature of the edit, and decided they were fine with it.
The BBC doctored footage of a Donald Trump speech a second time and ignored concerns that were raised about it, The Telegraph can reveal. Spliced footage of the speech, which aired in an episode of Newsnight in 2022, made it appear that Mr Trump was encouraging his supporters to riot. The edit was similar to a version aired in a Panorama documentary that was broadcast last year. ... A former White House chief of staff criticised the BBC on air for "splicing" the footage, but his concerns were ignored by Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark. A whistleblower told The Telegraph that a further discussion the following day was also shut down. The revelation risks plunging the corporation further into crisis, after the Panorama edit was disclosed in an internal dossier on bias that was leaked to The Telegraph. It is also likely to raise fresh questions about the future of Jonathan Munro, Ms Turness's deputy, who has been put in charge of the BBC's overall news operation since her departure. At the time of the broadcast, Mr Munro was interim director of news and current affairs with ultimate responsibility for Newsnight. ... BBC insiders have sought to portray the bias allegations as part of a Right-wing coup against its news operation, suggesting that individual errors were not evidence of a systemic problem. However, the separately doctored Newsnight footage - which was disclosed to The Telegraph by a separate whistleblower who had worked on the programme - suggests issues are more ingrained in the corporation than its defenders claim. Given that the Newsnight footage was broadcast more than two years before Panorama doctored the same speech, and concerns were raised at the time, it also risks triggering new scrutiny of the claim that Panorama's edits were an innocent mistake. ... There is no cross-fade or similar device in the Newsnight footage to suggest that the speech has been cut together. On Newsnight, after the footage was played, Ms Wark interviewed Mick Mulvaney, who was previously acting White House chief of staff for Mr Trump. He resigned from the administration following the storming of the Capitol. ... Mr Mulvaney continued: "Your video actually spliced together the presentation. He said: 'We're gonna go down and we're gonna cheer on our senators and our house members' and then it actually goes on to say 'And some of them we might not be able to' and that line about 'and we fight and fight like hell' is actually later in the speech yet your video makes it look like those two things came together. "That's the type of messaging here that so many people in my country find frustrating is that it's hard to actually get the facts. If we're going to have a debate about what this was and prevent it from happening again, I think part of that is to make sure we're straightforward in our presentation of what actually happened." ... A whistleblower claimed that concerns about the footage were subsequently raised during an editorial meeting the following morning, but were dismissed. ... "One producer said, 'How did that go out'? 'Why did that happen?' And the editorial editor, not the VT [video tape] editor, kind of brushed it off. And I thought that that was extraordinary, that something like that had gone out."
... An internal memo by Michael Prescott, who spent three years as an independent external adviser to the broadcaster's Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee, said: "Examining the charge that Trump had incited protesters to storm Capitol Hill, it turned out that Panorama had spliced together two clips from separate parts of his speech. This created the impression that Trump said something he did not and, in doing so, materially misled viewers."
Not that you need Joe Rogan to tell you this is f***ed up, but he is telling you that. In case you didn't know.
Podcast host Joe Rogan called out the BBC on Wednesday over the scandal over the network's deceptively edited video of former President Donald Trump, saying it shows the "deep rot" in mainstream media. ... Rogan discussed the scandal multiple times this week, arguing on his podcast that it was "not journalism, but, like, full-on lying and propaganda. And it's kinda f--ing dangerous." "It seems like these people -- this is just my opinion -- felt justified for completely lying, because it would lead to an ultimate good. So they lost all journalistic integrity. And it is the BBC, which is like the height of journalistic integrity," Rogan said. "If that doesn't show the rot of mainstream, corporate-controlled media, then nothing does. Because that's pure rot," Rogan said. "At the top of the heap, if someone quoted a source, and it was the BBC, I'd think, 'OK, that's like The Washington Post or The New York Times.' It's a very official source, so I'd assume, 'This must be real.'"
Now, he said, things are different: "They turned it into activism, and they turned it into lying -- and they did it in front of everyone, where you could clearly just listen to the full speech and know he didn't say that. That's not how he said it at all."

I believe that chart represents the break-down of "private" donations. But the vast majority of BBC's funding is indeed from British subjects: the government imposes a "license fee" on everyone in the UK who has a television. It's billions of dollars a year. That license fee funds BBC. It also gets private donations, which I think is the chart you linked.

The NHS was allowed to swallow all of Britain's military budget. They now have a navy that literally has more admirals than capitol ships. And the army is in just as pathetic shape, it's a grossly undermanned paper tiger.

Just saw this at Hot Gas. Back during that Bosnia mess in the '90s, there were rumors that wealthy elite paid for "sniper vacations", where they'd go in for the privilege of shooting civilians for sport. This was dismissed as just too crazy and sick to be true.
Well, Italian prosecutors have opened an investigation into some Italian citizens alleged to have participated in this. They've got evidence it indeed happened.

As I understand it, the UK nuclear arsenal is composed entirely of US Trident missiles, which require constant maintenance by the US to keep them operational.
Shut off the maintenance, and bust the UK down to the international power level of, say, Italy.

Probably a good idea to let those missiles decay to the point that they're no longer operational anyway so that the Muslim invaders won't have working nukes when they finally take over.

They have been airing half truths stating Trump has been going after his political enemies completely ignoring the weaponization of the Justice Department under Biden.
They completely whitewashed, actually ignored, Leticia James and her vow to make President Trump's life hell. They made her out to be a poor victim of OrangeManBad.
It was pretty disgusting. Even for the CBC...which is saying something.

This should be called out for what it is: Trump doing what he always does, trying to take down any media that doesn’t kiss his wrinkly arse.
Succinctly capturing the message of that day with his own words in order to highlight what horrible person he is is fair game. Far better than the capitulating CBS or NYT.
I agree. That baying mob was heavily influenced to commit the crimes they did on Jan 6th. He incited political violence against the US government. We literally watched his speech to them live as it happened, he didn't hide his intentions. He wanted the result of the election overturned by any means. Who cares that his feelings were hurt?
Anyone who watched the whole speech could see the thinly veiled call for violence. They could of made the edit more obvious but they did not misrepresent what he said.

According to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland, on November 7, James Bowman III, 40, was arrested for domestic-related assault after he allegedly punched a woman in the face and bit her hand.
The woman should have felt some measure of relief/safety knowing her alleged attacker was behind bars.
Instead, officials in the Blue State of Maryland released Bowman from jail with no bail requirement under the condition that he doesn’t abuse the woman he allegedly attacked again.
An hour later, according to officials, he then returned to the victim’s house and allegedly assaulted the woman again, this time while she was holding a baby.

The man appeared outside the Newark office on Wednesday evening but was barred by security from entering with the bat, people said. However, when the man returned WITHOUT the bat, security officers allowed him to enter the building.
He then went to the floor where Ms. Habba’s office is and began yelling incoherently and smashing property, the people said. It is unclear whether he made specific threats against Ms. Habba.

Just saw this at Hot Gas. Back during that Bosnia mess in the '90s, there were rumors that wealthy elite paid for "sniper vacations", where they'd go in for the privilege of shooting civilians for sport. This was dismissed as just too crazy and sick to be true.
Well, Italian prosecutors have opened an investigation into some Italian citizens alleged to have participated in this. They've got evidence it indeed happened.

This sort of thing is SOP for Eurotrash "elites". The same sort of sniper holidays were going on in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War in the 70s.
Not to mention the Eurotrash habit of going off to other countries to kill some wogs despite being civilians (Spanish Civil War, Byron in Greece)

Fetterman fell to the ground after feeling light-headed, which was due to a ventricular fibrillation flare-up, the statement said. Ventricular fibrillation is a type of irregular heartbeat. Fetterman is remaining at the hospital for observation so doctors can "fine-tune" his medications."

There's a lot of chatter about "Toxic male influencers" talking up men and telling their listeners they're "kings" and they deserve the best women. Okay, fine, criticize that if you will. Maybe it's silly. Maybe Jordan Peterson is more credible: Maybe before you gas up your self-respect, you should do actual tangible things making you worthy of that increased self-respect. But note that the "toxic male influencers" being criticized are fairly marginal people with limited reach. The leftwing women doing this are... well, top media figures and former First "Ladies" like Michelle Obama. Not to be Joe Snob, but bragging about yourself and announcing how awesome you are is... well, it's a tendency much more associated with the lower social classes than the higher ones. The upper class rule is to avoid the declasse social breach of praising yourself publicly. Instead, the more upper class technique is to softly imply it. Like, casually mentioning your 40 foot Boston Whaler. You're not saying that makes you worthy of respect, you're just kind of hinting at it. You know -- like JackStraw, always hinting about his Golden-Keeled Yacht and the Grateful Dead Parties he hosts beyond the three-mile limit in international waters, where they pass out Cucumber Sandwiches, Caviar Toast, and "Jazz Cigarettes" -- marihuana "reefers," for the innocent among you. He's always sticking it to us blue collar people, but he does it with implausible deniability so that we don't finally join together and rise up against him and seize his estates and his yachts. Just blurting out "I'm awesome and you should treat me as worthy of high respect" is more of a lower-class thing and more of a juvenile thing (of every class). Like garrett and his fucking $40,000 mountain bike. We get it, garrett. Your bike is basically a Lexus. I'm sure all the "fellas" at your Secret Gay Bicycle Raves are impressed. But this is now where "educated," supposedly "sophisticated," middle and upper-middle class leftwing women all are now: Strutting down the street like Guidos in an eye-stinging cloud of Drakkar Noir with a garish gold "#1 SEX MACHINE" medallion and, ironically enough, wearing "NO FAT CHICKS" sleeveless T's. Now, this is cheap because when she says "as a man" she actually is referring to the man she's talking to, but, whatever, let's have some fun:

(BTW I'm obviously kidding about JackStraw and garret. I'd love to spend an afternoon on JackStraw's yacht -- as long as he doesn't play the Dead -- and it is kind of cool that garret has an elite bike. And no knock on Italians, even though I mentioned "Guidos." Seriously. No offense intended. Oh, and I've got nothing against people giving themselves little pep-talks and trying to cultivate a more positive image of themselves. It's a hard world, and sometimes you do need to affirm your own value to yourself. On the other hand, I don't need every Golden Corral 4 going on Tik-Tok proclaiming she's a ten and deserves to be treated like a Queen. ) Update: I forgot to add this but if you click on Amazon Prime, you see an ad that auto-plays from "comic" and Wings and Things 7 Ilsa Schlesinger. The part of her "comedy special" they show is her asserting that the "algorithm" is rigged to make women doubt that they're Natural 10s so that they accept relationships with low-value men. It's just another "We're all 10s, Queens!" bit of obnoxiously low-class leftwing female group self-affirmation. Aren't they embarrassed? Are they just not embarrassed because people condescend to them and don't point out that this is cringe behavior? This is everywhere. They just never stop.

When will someone get up the guts to just call Michelle Obama a boomer? She may not qualify in the age demographic, but she does in her mindset.

If black women really believed this, they wouldn't be the demographic that's most comically desperate to change every element of their appearance. Fake hair, fake nails, fake eyebrows, fake eyelashes, fake lips, fake noses, even skin lighteners.
It's literally like they look in the mirror and think "omg I look terrible, I must change everything!" This is not the mark of a demographic who thinks they're beautiful.

Yes, I can listen in context and realize she's saying the man she's speaking to is the "black man" she referred to. But the way she said it obviously sounds like she's calling herself a black man.
She didn't even notice what she said could reasonably be interpreted that way. What an intellectual giant.

There's a lot of chatter about "Toxic male influencers" talking up men and telling their listeners they're "kings" and they deserve the best women.
This reminds me a bit of the government complaining about "conspiracy theories". Pop culture and the government *lie* intentionally to young men (and women too). Then they are shocked to see people turn to someone pointing out the lies. Well....what did you expect?
And yes the world would be a better place if Myron Gaines listeners were tuning into Peterson instead but he's giving harder and less direct advice.

And that's all that would happen to every race hustler if you gave them anything: they would just become even more shrill and demanding.

According to the Daily Mail, Fetterman fell this morning during his morning walk, and was rushed to the hospital. He's got some ventricular arrhythmia. This can be pretty dangerous -- sudden cardiac dropping dead stuff.
The fall caused some minor facial injuries, and he joked that if you thought his face looked bad before, wait until you see him now.

As a pseudo-shrink, I think most liberal screeching harpies are basically not pretty inside nor out in public. They never got wolf whistles. No one told them they were pretty. So, therefore, they tell themselves they don't need men, men are toxic, it's the men's fault!

Yea, it's silly, but it works. Not the toxic part, but men with confidence have the edge in the dating game. Women respond to confidence. So there's nothing wrong with telling men to be confident in approaching women.

Hotness is race-independent. Every male's Corpus Cavernosa knows that, on a spinal-cord level of pre-consciousness.
However, Michelle Obama is: 1. Not hot, 2. Not a chick. So she's doubly disqualified.
And hotness does not earn someone the status of being "owed" something, unless you count being owed a jolly roll in the hay.
And it certainly doesn't make one race of hot chicks more "owed" than another race of hot chicks.
Do we all "owe" Sydney Sweeney something because she's hot too? Apparently not. Because she's "white," so says the Left.

not at all, I just question making the subtext the text. Yes, act like you're hot stuff, but don't say "I'm hot stuff."
Also the male influencers in this game are also telling men to take specific steps, like "lose weight," "lift weights," "put together a half-way decent wardrobe." "Lookmaxxing."
The women saying this crap aren't talking about any self-improvement. They're just saying "I'm a ten the way I am."
Again, I don't even mind thinking that you're hot stuff, I kinda just don't want to hear people bragging about themselves, especially when the boasts are preposterous.

The other day I saw a brief few seconds of her whining act while she was Foist "Lady." She? said that even with hairdressers, make up artists and stylists it was a chore to appear in public. I dare say. Plus, she can't dress her gigantic frame "off the rack." Pity. It seems pretty easy to me to roll out of bed and have all this done for you, beech on wheels! I have my make up prep down to minutes as there is very little to improve this canvas. My long hair is easy (flips it as I talk to her). I wear what I want.
If I wash my hair and set it on gigantic hot rollers all of this takes about 45min to an hour, Depending on if I apply my make up in the car, asking my King to please warn me about bumps in the road as I apply mascara.
On top of being ugly she's insane! So she fits right in with her rapid wommens.

"It's a good thing Miles Davis divorced her when he did. He knew she was going to wind up looking like THAT!" This seemed totally unfair to me, for three reasons:
Unfair to her, yes. But I can see Miles taking that attitude, he was one of the biggest gaping assholes in a genre of music overpopulated with gaping assholes, perhaps only exceeded by Charlie Mingus. So fuck Miles as a person, while celebrating his talent.
Thing is, Miles and Mingus are two of my three favorite jazz musicians (along with Coltrane).

🚨 BREAKING: Disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell has been referred to the DOJ for potential CRIMINAL CHARGES after evidence of mortgage fraud was found by FHFA Chair Bill Pulte, per NBC
Swalwell not only committed mortgage fraud — he deemed himself INELIGIBLE to be a member of Congress, as he declared his DC residence his primary residence.
No public record searches show a home owned or leased by Swalwell in California.
Members of Congress are required under Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution to be “inhabitants” of the state they represent at the time of their election
Swalwell was not and IS not an inhabitant of California, it seems.

The walk-on he did with the Young All-Stars was fantastic. But he only played 2 songs with them and walked out of the auditorium.

Scotland's Chief Constable: Maybe We'll Start Calling Male Rapists "Male" Again, Even If They Do "Identify as Women"
Ladies: You need to get yourselves under control.
A leading indicator of this age is the unprecedented rise of "women" raping other women, "women" exposing themselves on buses, "women" taking out their penises and masturbating in public, "women" touching female children in public bathrooms, etc. Starting around, oh, 2018, the rates of "women" committing gross sexual offenses previously the domain of mentally-ill men absolutely skyrocketed. It was unprecedented -- and yet not a single "expert" in the field of policing or criminality offered any explanation for it. Not a single study, not a single white-paper report. Equality, bigots. It's called equity. Women can take out their penises and rub them against women standing in front of them on the subway, too. And yes I started that sentence saying it's "equality" and then stealth-changed the term to "equity" and you know that means? It means you're a transphobic racist for noticing the change in terminology. Or are you saying women aren't ALLOWED to excel in male areas of achievement, bigot?! Leading the way for "women" to molest other women on the street has been Scotland, which, until the past ten years, most considered a respectable country and not a nation of basket-case imbeciles and grubby deviants. From David Strom, Scotland's top law enforcement official apparently noticed the 100,000% rise in sex crimes committed by "females" and dared to notice, "Gor Blimey, I think some of these lasses what are committing acts of gross public indecency are blokes!"POLICE Scotland has given too many 'mixed messages' on gender self-ID, the Chief Constable has admitted as she pledged that a rapist will always be recorded as a man.Oh their top cop is a woman. Of course. I'm sure she's ultra-qualified.
Jo Farrell acknowledged that she needed to give further clarity on the issue due to the single police force's approach in the past. But she also admitted that a biological male who self-identifies as female would be treated as a woman while in custody.What does that mean? Thank you for asking. Let me tell you what I think it means. A "matron" is a woman employed by an establishment to oversee female guests... or prisoners. And do things it would be inappropriate for a man to do, to a woman. Google's garbage AI, but this is ballpark accurate as far as I Know:
A police matron is a woman in a municipal police department who has charge of female and juvenile prisoners. Historically, this role was a trailblazer for women in law enforcement, as matrons were often not sworn officers but were responsible for tasks like searching female arrestees and guarding female and juvenile detainees until they were released or transferred to the proper authorities.When a woman is arrested, it's inappropriate for a man to pat her down. Or search for contraband in her vagina or rectum, obviously. Now that police forces are 70% women, they can have a female cop do these things, but if there are no female police, they can have the matron do it. So when Ol' Jo says that men claiming to be women will be "treated as a woman while in custody," what she means is that she'll have women pat the male rapist down, and have a woman bend the man over to look beneath his (female) testicles and spread his butt cheeks and look into his rectum. Boy, that'll really teach male sex perverts a lesson, huh? I imagine it also means that the man will be held in cells meant for female arrestees. But at least as far as the paperwork goes, male rapists will be recorded as being male. Or will they? This seems much less definitive than I'd like.
But she went on: 'On reflection, and having observed the intense public debate around gender identification and the at times mixed messages from Police Scotland -- for example in freedom of information responses and correspondence to this committee -- I wanted to provide further clarity and direction in this area. 'It was important for victims to hear from me as Chief Constable that there is no doubt in our practice: a man committing a rape will be recorded as a male.'See, that still seems deliberately ambiguous to me. She says a "man" committing rape will be recorded as "male," but of course we all know that Trans Women Are Women. She didn't say someone who is biologically male, or, as they say, "assigned male at birth," would be recorded as male. She said a man will be recorded as male. What does this mean? Maybe nothing. Or maybe it means that men who haven't taken the trivial step of applying to the state for an official change in gender will be called "male," but anyone who has undertaken this twenty-minute Sex Change Paper Filing will still be recorded as female. Trans Women Are Women. I don't know how many times I have to tell you bigots this until it registers.
She told MSPs that a person's transgender status will be recorded 'where relevant' in addition to biological sex for suspects and victims of all crimes. When pressed on whether Police Scotland's approach had been wrong, she said she felt there needed to be 'greater clarity brought to our position'.Here was the old rule, which Jo says lacked "clarity." Unlike her new rule, which also lacks clarity.
Police Scotland's previous position in 2019 stated that the biological sex or gender identity of an individual was based on self-declaration unless the sex or gender of a person was relevant to an investigation or further enquiry was necessary on the basis of risk.The old rule was, then, if you say you're a woman then you're a woman, unless you are so obviously a man that we think you're faking. The new policy is that "men" will be noted as "male," but "transgender identity" will not be noted "unless relevant." The new policy sounds "stronger" but I bet in practice it won't be. See David Strom's article for thoughts about Critical Theory and the endless psyop to change the meanings of all words so that you are confused, demoralized, and thoroughly gaslighted so that you obey the orders of your Masters no matter how nonsensical, destructive, or evil.

On the one hand, the entire western world is obsessed with empowering and protecting women to the point where no woman -- especially a black woman -- can do anything wrong, ever. The prime directive is that women can't be blamed for anything, nothing is ever their fault.
Yet, they also insist on calling trannies with dicks "women" when they rape real women. You'd think, given the prime directive above, that in this case they would not call a tranny a "woman," because it reflects poorly on women. That violates the prime directive.
Intersectionality is a rancid pit of dysfunction and contradiction.

But so e info is leaking out. Guy did a FOIA request, found out they still haven't prosecuted her for the "weapons offense."
Seems to be the case that the police are trying to wait it out, and to silently drop the case when no one is paying attention any more, because they know they would lose in court.
Meanwhile, the "Bulgarian" man who was trying to assault her and/or force her into prostitution has been revealed to be...a Muslim, of course. Which the police went to great lengths to hide.(Real name: Fatos Ali Dumana.)
And guess what? He has now been charged with sexual assault against a minor," though it;'s not clear is that relates to the famous incident, or a different incident.
And again, the Scottish police are trying to silence the media and citizens form even talking about it.

If the rapin' was done by one who possesses or was born with a penis, we might consider calling that particular rapin' individual a "male".

A better question might be why we ever decided a woman needs to be considered for Chief of Police. The Chief of any organization is supposed to be one who has considerable experience at whatever the task at hand is. Women make lousy street cops because there is a physical element to the job that they simply aren't cut out for. So if they weren't designed to be excellent street cops they similarly weren't desiged to be excellent Police Chiefs.

If the rapin' was done by one who possesses or was born with a penis, we might consider calling that particular rapin' individual a "male".
Iffin the rapin' was done by one who wasn't born with a penis, we might consider calling that particular rapin' individual a "female".

Very popular game show in Thailand.
I once made the grave mistake of doing an online "spot the tranny" quiz thing, that just initially showed faces and you had to guess tranny or not. I thought you would guess and they'd tell you if you were right or not. The problem was at the end they showed you rather graphically whether your guess was correct. Much eyebleach was needed that day.

The US Senator from Pennsylvania was on a walk early Thursday when he 'sustained a fall near his home in Braddock,' the Democrat's spokesperson stated.
Fetterman was transported to hospital in Pittsburgh after the accident, where doctors determined he suffered a ventricular flare-up, his team said.

It's an odd movie. On the one hand, it pimps for lady sports to the point where they seem to believe a delusion that a lady football league would be as big as the NFL if only they were given a chance.
On the other hand, the movie is inadvertently a cautionary tale about why women should not play tackle football. Some of the ladies seemed normal and went on to good, normal lives. But others seemed mentally ill and dysfunctional. And, of course, the league was crawling with unappealing bull dykes.
Don't get me wrong; I think women should play what they want to play. But I don't think I should have to celebrate them participating in a violent, dangerous sport that breaks a lot of men.

A staffer for Democrat Senator Tammy Duckworth was caught posing as a lawyer to help free an illegal immigrant from ICE custody in East St. Louis, Illinois.
The Department of Homeland Security is demanding answers after Duckworth’s staffer, Edward York, misrepresented himself to federal agents as legal counsel for Jose Ismeal Ayuzo Sandoval, a four-time deported illegal alien with a prior DUI conviction.
According to a letter from the DHS, York entered the ICE facility on October 29 by falsifying a DHS form.

And of course that's very common, most women don't. So where do you think the money will come from to pay them? "But its not fair!"

Democrats blocked it, telling the Clerk they refused to grant the "Unanimous Consent" it requires to pass.
They have no substantive facts on their side on Epstein, so they keep releasing cherry-picked stuff to which the Propaganda Press can give fifteen minutes of fame.

A lot of women are confused over fair vs "equal or the same outcome". If you were one or five kids mom tried to make sure everyone had the same so there wouldnt be comparison complaints. But that is seldom the fair outcome. It could not be more fair that women make less than men for playing say basketball. If you cant interest people into watching your dreck you wont make money.

Oh, pish. Women want other women to see her purse and think "oh, I hate her" and they can in return think "you should, bitch".
Men want other men to see their watch and say "Oooo sweet watch!" and we can say "I know right!" and then talk about watches over bourbon with a stranger for half an hour.

Obama's scar is from tongs used by the Doc to pull him out of his mother's womb.
Biden's scars are from skin removal. Like Nancy, who has more hair, Docs pull the skin back from the face taking the wrinkles out, snip the excess skin off and sew it back together. Theoretically hidden by the hair.

Lumpy Jack: The Loving and Tolerant Left Is Wishing Death Upon Me and Praying For a Lethal Stroke
John Fetterman and his life-partner Lumpy Jack recently spoke with the Free Press about the severe depression he suffered after his stroke and, let's face it, serious damage to his brain. And probably a change in personality. This change in personality resulted in him becoming more reasonable and less Trust Fund Communist.
Fox excerpted the interview. Fetterman now admits that we were right -- he should have quit the Senate race when he suffered a serious stroke during the campaign:Fetterman's condition improved, "but in hindsight I should have quit."He says he was so depressed his wife told him to leave and go live with his parents (seems like old times...), because she didn't want his depression weighing down on the children. And, he says, he contemplated suicide, at least once that he admits to.
He was constantly mentioned on Fox, or under attack by Dr. Mehmet Oz and his allies: "Uncle Festerman [in an] oversize gym-rat costume," "unfit to run," "the guy can't talk," a "wax dummy," "where does the man end and the machine." And on social media "Vegetable. Moron. Retard."Yeah those last three were me. My bad.
This got in his head: "a defining quality of depression, the building blocks of which I had probably struggled with ever since I was a kid. My parents were 19 when I was conceived, and I have always felt it was because of me that my parents were unable to follow their own dreams. When your self-image is negative, as mine was growing up, you gravitate toward shame. You gravitate toward feeling unwanted." "This inclination persisted even as an adult..." "Is this my life now?" Then came the debate against Oz. He was awful. "This was a make-or-break moment that would determine the outcome of the election, and I had wilted. I'd choked." "For the entire three-and-a-half-hour ride back from the debate, I read reactions on X, shooting myself up with the shame that is too often the sustenance of the depressive..." "For months, I was suicidal. Paranoid. Not eating. Not sleeping. Not speaking. Not functioning. Resigned. Ashamed. Despairing. Despairing everywhere I was. Up was down, and down was up." He won anyway by 5 points. "Once, as I lay in bed," Fetterman said, "I asked myself, What would you do if there were a pill on the nightstand you could take and not wake up? I would have taken it." Gisele told him "I could not come home until I was back to being myself: The impact on our kids was just too great." So the senator moved in with his parents. "By February, I wasn't eating, and I wouldn't talk to anybody..." "I began to feel more alive and animated than I had in months. I was present. I felt energy." "There were still enormous challenges, though. I was terrified to see my family." "A young therapist-in-training came in to talk to me one day. 'Gisele and the kids are thinking about coming to visit,' she said." "I don't think that's a good idea." The next day: "The kids are better off without me."I don't want to be Joe Maudlin Manipulator, but here's the depressed stroke victim that the left is currently wishing death on.
"At that point, she stepped out of her professional mode and said the most important thing that has ever been said to me in my life:" "Children need their daddy." The visit at a Wendy's went well. Everyone was relaxed. He needed their love.
Dana Bash pretended to be surprised to hear that her fellow leftists were "praying for [Fetterman's] next stroke." CNN, of course, refused to cover the thousands of angry Democrats celebrating Charlie Kirk's death. Maybe if she actually covered the news she wouldn't always be surprised by it.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) describes the truly awful things that the Left has said to him as he voted to reopen the government.
— Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 (@Bubblebathgirl) November 12, 2025
Basically, they openly called and wished for him to lose his life.
These people who’ve said this to him are truly disgusting.pic.twitter.com/Q2lqgfv0GX
"We can talk to him about this tomorrow... Senator John Fetterman will be here tomorrow," Goldberg said, drawing a loud "boo" from an audience member. Goldberg appeared to shoot a brief glare in the heckler's direction before continuing, "So we're going to ask him [Fetterman], 'What the hell?'"This was a "Republican Shutdown," but Democrats are shrieking about a Democrat who wants to open the government. Check. Got it. Fetterman and Lumpy Jack were already hate objects on the left before he began stating, correctly, that Democrats "need to own" the "Republican shutdown." And then that hate reached levels that... well, levels that previously resulted in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. As you know, the House voted to end the shutdown, and Trump signed the CR into law.
🚨 The House just PASSED the bill to end the Schumer Shutdown.

I don't know why, but I thought, "she looks like a dybbuk."
Google's crap AI:
A dybbuk is a malicious, possessing spirit in Jewish folklore that takes control of a living person's body, speaking and acting through them. Often the dislocated soul of a dead person who was not properly laid to rest, it is believed to enter the body due to a grievous sin or some spiritual imbalance.

Which is fair.
He's a reasonable in tone leftist who wants to think of me as a human.
Who will still vote for every policy and personnel who works against me.
I'm just glad in the knowledge that he's going to fail miserably in his primary in a couple of years. That means I won't have to hear from PA Republicans saying, "He's a reasonable Democrat. So much better than the crazy lies I hear about the GOP candidate that are obviously lies but I have to believe them because the NYT reported it."

After a few hours, I come back after going to the bathroom, and she's not there. After another 30 minutes some older white lady comes and sits in her seat, saying she changed seats. Seemed odd, but whatever.
I noticed at the time that a lot of people were turning their heads trying to look at the back of the plane. Seemed odd, but whatever. The plane was packed with San Francisco Karens and faggots, so I didn't think too much of it.
We land and the captain comes on saying we have to stay in our seats to allow the police to board the plane. The cops board, go all the way back, and -- sure enough -- take the Muslim lady into custody. They take her bags too. No handcuffs, but clearly they were there to get her and wouldn't let her leave without them.
Then, even weirder, another set of cops comes on board and takes an older white lady into custody, and she was sitting right in front of me.
All very odd. I googled this morning to see if there were any news reports, but nothing.

So their solution is to run to the people who put them in massive student debt, blew up the housing market with a combination of 10s of millions of illegals and massive inflation and ruined the healthcare system with Obamacare?
This really shouldn't be a surprise. Young people have the wisdom of a golf ball. Trump inherited a country on fire, hell, a world on fire, and he has been triaging it for 10 months.
There will be a focus on the economy and despite the media it is much better than 10 months ago. Gas is way down, groceries are down, housing solutions are being proposed, healthcare is on the table because Obamacare is about to implode. And on and on.
Young people can grab an oar and help or do whatever. I'm tired of hearing it.

One of the reasons that the left is fighting so hard to protect their illegals. That's a big portion of the problem and Trump catches a lot of the blame.

Playing the victim, John Fetterman is full on Republican. More bitch baby tears from the senate’s largest snowflake.
The brain damage radically changed Fetterman’s personality. Literally, he is no longer the man Pennsylvanians elected.
Yall got to get over saying this and making excuses for this man. Bro was a piece of shit before hand, he was literally just running against Oz.
He ran as a progressive and was endorsed by Bernie Sanders and AOC. Now, he claims he is a moderate and has alienated himself from his colleagues. He was also a Biden surrogate in 2020. Looks like he plays all sides
Tots and pears. Don't forget to block his accounts on Bluesky. Few things would make me happier than to see Fetterman behind bars with his republican terrorists friends.
I recall some slapstick cartoons where they'd bonk someone on the head and they'd be all weird and make no sense. Then they'd bonk them again on the head and they'd be normal. Fetterman needs another bonk.

Their only fallback is to say this was about healthcare and they will ride that like a pet pony. The one thing the took from this is it helped to slow down Trump and Republicans efforts. Nothing was done the entire time. Johnson didn’t work on a single bill and that delayed everything, especially looking at the affordability issue which is going to eat Republicans alive for the midterms if they don’t get off their asses and start looking at solutions.

I don’t I agreed with it. But it’s showing up as an issue in a lot of places. That’s why Trump is talking more about it and you have ideas like the 50 year mortgage, which is a terrible idea but they are obviously brainstorming on this. It’s also not a great economy for a lot of people. There continues to be massive job layoffs including today where Verizon said they’re laying of 15k. People aren’t feeling it like they did in Trumps first term.

LOL! That is funny. The only reason anything happened is because the dems knew they would be blamed for shutting down holiday travel. They didn't give a rat's ass about SNAP - and now it is funded for a year. There will be a shutdown in Jan. And it will hurt the democrats again. But the far left is all about purity, in the absence of strategy. They fail to notice that all the things that propped them up and used to run cover for them are much less dependable than before. Yet they follow the same tired old playbook. It's death throes time. WE just need to smartly manage it.

It feels very much like a city centered thing. The places where people congregate who've taken out hundreds of thousands of dollars for shit degrees.
There are other issues with college graduates (Something like 25% of STEM graduates actually work in STEM, is something I've seen), but the massive student loan debt is carried by doctors, lawyers, and people who got degrees in Studies.
Also, the percentage of the population with college degrees is actually declining overall with time.

In the latest twist from the trove of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails released by House Democrats, a 2016 message from the convicted pedophile to disgraced author Michael Wolff appears to allege that Hillary Clinton had a sexual affair with former White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster.
The exchange began with Wolff asking Epstein for a “thumb nail” summary on “Nussbaum/foster,” prompting Epstein’s response implying an illicit affair between Hillary and Foster.
The email, dated May 25, 2016, cryptically states: “nussbaum white house counsel. . hillary doing naughties with vince.” This appears to reference Bernard Nussbaum, White House Counsel under President Bill Clinton, and Vince Foster, who died under suspicious circumstances in 1993.

While wages are growing at a faster rate.
The "affordability" narrative is really just a narrative.
Things are improving, but the progress is slow and under the radar while people want Congress to "do something", to put on a show.
Congress can do nothing for the next 10 years as Trump and then Vance deport millions of people and eviscerate the regulatory environment in America. That'll do much, much more than anything Congress can come up with.

I think the "growing discontent" is largely if not completely a leftwing op. Trump inherited a train-wreck and has been doing what he can. You can't work an economic miracle overnight. He's made some very important reductions in prices. More will come.
Similarly, I think a lot of the complaining from the younger gens about not being able to afford a house is mostly also bullshit. Every time I hear this -- or with rent -- when you really look at it, the real problem is not that they can't afford "a house," it's that they can't afford the really nice house in a really nice area that they really want. I'd like a Fenomeno too.

I don't think you would find college today that appealing. After I retired after more years than I thought I would ever spend in my life on a college campus, I really have not had any pangs of wanting to go back nor much nostalgia.
The ill winds promoted by Obammy, media, and Democrats destroyed much of what was good, decent, and noble of college. The new hires did the rest along with the newer crops of students picked for DIEversity reasons.

But costs keep going up at a much faster rate of inflation, faster than pre-ACA rates of price growth in health insurance. How can that be if the ACA fixed healthcare?

And he's at least willing to have a real conversation. He's been on Hannity and other Fox shows.
You at least talk to the guy.
The radio host that kissed Crockett's feet was on Hannity yesterday. Her and Hannity apparently went back 30 years. But 3 minutes in, after covering the sneaker incident, Hannity brings up the shutdown and she spent the rest of the interview pushing Epstein and other talking points.
I hadrespect that she was on FoxNews but that evaporated quickly.

I taught Friday classes on occasion to help get students through or had seminars, etc. Some blew off their Friday classes, others actually appreciated being there. A lot of people showing up depends on how engaging the professor is, whether the course is a required pass, and the class dynamic/course content.

A subsidy puts a minimum floor under the price of anything, and so prices go up based on that minimum floor.
Anything you subsidize goes up in price. However at some point that rise in price is not being used for improving the care, but to make sure that the investors get their investment return, and the stocks keep their valuation.

Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh.
Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries.
Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’
He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen.
Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care.”

I only had to drop machine vision, because I just could not keep up with the pace of the programming projects. The professor encouraged me to continue, and I suspect he would have given me a charity passing grade, but it just didn't feel right, so I dropped it.
But muh student loans or whatever. You get what you make out of your education dollars.

Well, "price" to the consumer is what the left is focusing on. Price or cost, or whatever, the problem is the focus on the post-subsidy price to the consumer.
The actual cost, the actual overall price, is still jumping up hugely every year, but the subsidies hid the cost from the consumer. They still get their $10 per month plan or whatever.
And then that's all that matters in the argument. "People pay this, and now they will pay this." It's intentional obfuscation of the overall issue of cost/price in the health insurance market while treating efforts to actually talk about the overall issue as disingenuous because all that matters is Granny getting her insurance for $10 a month.

Well, I say that Trump should oblige them. Send the pain, because being nice won't do anything either. Get the policy gains, and make the left hurt while you do it.

I'm trying to harmonize their "praying" for Uncle Festerman getting another stroke and their hatred of God because there is evil in this world and it is somehow God's fault that He lets it continue.
Fortunately, God doesn't hear the prayers of the unregenerate, and assigning the ability to hear prayers to any other entity implies omnipresence.

I saw a short video where a guy comes out of a time portal in a park and runs up to a stranger demanding to know if the stranger knows Hans Schmidt. When he doesn't the time traveler triumphantly announces, "I stopped him! I stopped the German dictator that killed thousands and took the world to the brink of a second world war!!!"
The person in the park realizes the import of the statement then asks the time traveller if he knows who Adolf Hitler is and when he says no loads an article on the history of Germany on his phone and hands it to the time traveller
Time traveller guy falls to the ground, "I screwed up...everything"

I don't think it's "at risk" at this point, more like fully actualized. College was bad enough on its own, but the brainwashing has been moved to algorithmically driven 24/7/365 bombardment - and it's been successful. The kids haven't reasoned themselves into believing the lies of the left, they've been propagandized, nudged, steered, pressured, and echo-chambered into immediately accepting whatever nonsense gets piped into their feed - men can be women, Trump is a Nazi, speech is violence, protesters killed cops on J6, etc.

I should have known but did not, if you go to HR "you become part of the problem." The director, who was not a nurse, lied about me at the HR meeting. I sat there thinking, you need this job more than me you fat slob. I went home, told my husband about the "mediation" crap they dreamed up and he told me to quit.
So I did the next Monday and flipped out everyone who wanted to mediate me for the first time in my career of much harder jobs. Ha! Two weeks later I was outta there and my job share RN partner was as well. The little dept quickly went down the toilet. The person I complained about? She was walked off the grounds a month later for "stealing clients." I got to hear of karma! I'd only taken the job for the schedule so I could travel every other weekend.

She knew. The two doctors of the dept knew and sympathized with me. I could not deal with it anymore, told the doc I was a friend that I was going to HR. I should have yelled "hostile environment and I am transexual!"
The first HR woman was a RN, and I had to go to a satellite hospital to talk to her.She filed the complaint. The HR person at the med center later did not know me, as others did and knew the other jobs I held and would have listened. It was simply time to bail and the fact that security walked this freak to her car and she was fired a month later proved they should have listened to me and my partner.
No regrets! I was done anyway with it and the politics that started with these nitwits. It was a very small dept and I was used to a large ED and/or the entire med center who knew me well.
This little petty dept was psycho. Like being locked in a mental ward two or three days/week. I could write a book about each character and you'd understand but I'd be sued.

NYC elected a communist Islamist Twelver as mayor.

I agree.

Take your pick of any one of a dozen reasons to loathe and despise Fuentes - my number one is that he's intentionally trying to destroy the MAGA movement, and Trump by extension, from within.

Shut down the borders, kick everyone out who's not native born, tell foreigners to stay out-
until we figure this thing out among ourselves.
Of course, then we might end up with a Shogun and a President.

True enough, and as Tom said at 17, there will eventually be a backlash. Only this time I just don't see how we can avoid it being bloody.
America continues to segregate itself into urban vs suburban/rural; left vs right; white vs all others; media supported vs only FOX supported (mostly); home owners vs renters; legal vs illegals, etc.
The list goes on. And I don't think we can talk and vote out way out of this.

"well you see human nature is evil, which is why it's okay to prop up a system that directly rewards people doing evil things cause that's just the way it is okay!"
There’s literally a phrase for this kind of thought—Immanentize the eschaton. Some Christians really believe that making our lives on Earth somewhat livable is sinful because it’s an affront to the concept of Heaven. I really hate this timeline…
Moneyless? Sure. Its definitely not classless or stateless. Heaven is a monarchy. Almost any page in the Bible says god is king and we are his subjects.
I’ve seen this meme a couple of times and have come to realize that heaven is like a nationalist, conservative, Christian apartheid state where God is the supreme leader. It has a hierarchy and a very narrow definition of democracy—if any. Heaven is not communist; it’s a dictatorship where only Christians feel happy and no one else is welcome.

I agree - as to Hasan and Mamdani, anyone who follows Muhammed already is sworn to a system absolutely opposed to Western Civilization and all Western forms of government. In the words of Erdogan, who merely stated what all Islamists think, "Democracy is like a train; when you get to your destination, you get off."
As to what the motivations of Carney and the other white wannabe communists are, we can only guess. Probably starts with a deep seated hatred of all of the rest of us.

The left has the ability to create chaos in those cities they control, like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, and now NYC. They don't have the ability to project power outside of their strongholds, and we don't need to go in and fight them there. Just gradually strangle them off economically.

Not surprisingly, she is a @columbia faculty. . .

Zohran Mamdani just announced Lina Khan is one of the people leading his transition team.
She's another socialist who worked in the Biden administration, who actually improperly billed the taxpayers for luxury travel. Classic leftist.

Without much success. When it rained, the mining camps became mired in thick, heavy blue mud. One prospector who had a bit of a geology background noticed this, and quietly sent off a sample of the blue mud for assay. Came back at something like 80% Silver. He even more quietly set about buying up all the worthless Gold mines in the area, and made a fortune.
Bi-metallism or pegging the gold to silver ratio was a problem. Historically it was about 16 to 1, but the Nevada strike may have permanently buggered that. Western interests, farmers and ranchers wanted Silver, or “cheap” money and corresponding lower interest rates. The big banks like JP Morgan located in the East were more staid and old school, and resisted the idea.
The US was actually on a Silver standard, it wasn’t until the 1880s or so that Gold became the basis for the monetary standard. World War One blew up everything, and it never really recovered.

We don't know the full effects of the jabs. Keeping with ace's conspiracy theory post, I still believe we may see a large die off of people especially the libs who couldn't get enough.
The debt bubble may finally explode.
Some incident may just piss the polite populace off and total war breaks out and we decide to just fully clean house. Populations may drop 75% but considering who we'd lose or eliminate, that's fine.
Things look bleak but things aren't over yet.

Hmmm. I am not sure I buy the 'dark, monied' forces bit.
One thing about inherent human factionalism- we are as prone to it as any one else, we just want the government to have absolutely minimal power to be able to weigh in on one faction's side or another.
Fuentes could just be doing this because he enjoys it- he seems like the type. Essentially a gay, racist Howard Stern. So Howard Stern.
Owens just seems like either she got some really good dick from a nutty dude who caused a mental status change or drugs.
Tucker... I am still not sure. My guess would be drugs and being in love with being the Ron Paul of the commentariat.

People seem to transpose their own ideology onto nebulous things that come along and believe it to be larger than it is, because it is for THEM. It worked for obama, blank, gay, commie slate that he was.
Same with the whole 6-7 social contagion. Same with Fuentes. He has minimally more political impact than Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally did, which is to say marginally more than nothing.
Fuentes is a leftist op, and people paying him more than passing mind are making him out to be more than he is, doing the left's work.
It's transparent and idiotic.

Eh, most people never stop and think about who pays and who promotes 'influencers' and yutes haven't had enough exposure to media manipulation to be able to understand how it is done. Including acceptable fake and gay controlled opposition types.
If you consider politicians as NFL coaches, you get a bit of the idea. A coach cannot actually implement his game plan, that depends on the team (bureaucracy), there are other coaches around that are of variable quality that oversee defense, offense, special teams, etc., owners above coaches who give them a job, constrain how they behave by jerking the coach's strings as they feel fit.
And political media etc., left or right, is about like ESPN--out for clicks, eyeballs, and controversy. Media types in general tend toward sociopathy and narcissism to a high degree but yet will always find gullible people willing to swallow their codswallop. And again, those media types are controlled by their bosses above them including their permissible on screen comments.
Influencers have the same ecosystem except the strings are much less obvious

Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr.

Neither the melting pot or the Lazarus inscription on the Statue of Liberty represent founding American values.
Instead, the idea underlaying E Pluribus Unum is subsidiarity. That the states and localities instead of the federal government can come together over national issues like foreign policy, defense, immigration, but be left alone to manage their own societies and live how they want to.
The ACW damaged that original understanding substantially and since then, the US has been on an uneven path to nationalizing everything including its society.
Bad mistake because the US is far too vast for one size fits all society and politics and the inevitable decay sets in. Federalism was a strong attempt to stave off this empire versus nation state dynamic. And inviting auslanders that share none of the core values of the existing society and that view the US as an opportunity to loot, plunder, and seize, simply accelerates a breakup.

I sincerely don't give a rat's ass about anything that Fuentes says we're supposed to pay attention to. You want to see how BADLY those of us who ARE "right wing" have to kick his sorry ass? Just type Fuentes name in and EVERY SINGLE search engine describes him as "far right". There is NOTHING "far right" about praising Hitler and Stalin and NOTHING "far right" about blaming "World Jewry" for the problems of the world.
Being "right" of "far right" means conservative policy decisions, an un-wavering support of the Constitution, and free and fair elections for American citizens. The moment somebody thinks they can skip right past and IGNORE those principles, they aren't "right" or "far right"--they're playing for the other team. Anybody who won't endorse Trump (and in doing so provides support for Harris) is deserving of our scorn, because that "World Jewry" nonsense is intended SOLELY to bring OUR side down.

I mean real "company sponsored" internships of 12 months to corporate manufacturing locations to learn the process and then return to work in the American company. Do that for a few years, and then you don't even have to anymore b/c you have enough trained folks here who can train.

These precious flowers all think they deserve a job as an "idea person" at a software company or an advertising agency; meanwhile good solid jobs in the trades are going begging, or get filled by wetbacks, because the precious flowers don't want real work.

5M is virtually nothing.
110M for PewDiePie. He just made a video saying how he switch to Linux. Nobody is saying "Oh no! Microsoft is doomed!"
The Asian Cooking Video ripping comedian I watch has 10+. Davie504 bass vids have 13.5 M. Nobody is going around saying "I need bass."
You are building Fuentes up in your mind greater than any social or political impact that he has.
Even if everyone of the Fuentes subscribers equals a US POTUS voter, that would only make 3% of the popular vote.

IMHO, right now, it is related to making it more difficult for GOP to get legislation through the House because of the discharge petition pending and then the inevitable fight over subpoenas when the Trump administration is blamed for not releasing everything (whether it exists or not).
Lots of folks are invested in the matter emotionally while ignoring the vast numbers of trafficked kids among the illegals and runaways.
Most of them have never bothered either to read the original depositions and other court actions so far that have been released. Some want to pin Epstein on Israel, others on the UK and/or CIA, and others want it to bring down a lot of the wealthy oligarchs (several of which have been sued and settled by the way by some of the Epstein victims). But you never hear about that much. Tells me it is an op and that plenty of people are hooked.

I don't think he is that popular because social media has about as much relations to real society as TV sitcoms do to reality. The problems exist but I see little evidence that Nick is leading any definable problem solving organization unlike Turning point and Charlie Kirk.
Instead, Nick comes off as stale anti-semitic, nihilism akin to the stab in the back by nefarious Jews that permeated France and Germany back in WWI to WWII era.

Dear Big Mike,
No one owes you anything. No one owes black women anything either. But they sure as fuck don't owe some cross dressing faggot fucker, like you, any damn thing. If you want respect, earn it bitch. You are completely owned by the demoncrat plantation. You sold whatever soul shaped thing you had for money and perks. You didn't want the fame or the responsibility that came with it. Now you bitch and whine to stay relevant and keep the money flowing. You have earned nothing. Not one fucking thing, ever, in your entire useless life. Shut the fuck up and go away.
Regards
Mayhem

This idea that certain people must be respected has bothered me for a while. Everybody, including strangers, is owed courtesy, at least until they act in a manner showing it is not deserved. Respect is earned over time by your deeds and character. Nobody is owed respect merely for existing. The demand for it is just another way to lord over the commoners.

Andrew Newell Wyeth
Pirates? Where's the rum?
Artnet com -
Andrew Wyeth
(American, 1917–2009)
In part, "While his work has been deemed melancholic, the artist preferred to describe it as thoughtful. “I think anything like that—which is contemplative, silent, shows a person alone—people always feel is sad,” he once reflected."
(Above was written in relationship to another painting but does seem to relate to much of Andrew's work.)

I adore much of the Wyeths' work but as I cannot cook live lobsters, crabs, octopus, etc. I'd pass hanging this particular painting.

So basically 12% of eligible voters voted for him.
And I suspect that’s the case with a lot of mayor races in these off year elections.
Had the election been last year, this piece of shit would have maybe got 15%. But because the right stays home in elections in odd years, people like him? And Mamdani and the socialist in Seattle win easily.

"Bringing Out the Dead" is my Scorsese fave.
It's an excellent flick that also has all/most of Scorsese's big themes and concerns wrapped into the plot, characters and action, which is how I like movies/novels to operate. Instead, of posting "didja geddit?" moments as he is sometimes want to do.

"Silence" is excellent.
Both the movie and the novel.
I prefer the novel over the movie but really you can't go wrong with either.
Glad there's someone out there besides me that likes "Bringing Out the Dead".

The Morning Report — 11/13/25
To understand what’s now happening inside the Democratic Party, look no further than the historical analogy found in the Russian Revolution. There were some soft socialists, the so-called Russian whites, led by a guy named Alexander Kerensky. They were trying to hold off the Reds, and started off in an unenviable position militarily, but ended up winning because eventually there wasn’t enough systemic immunity to stop them. The liberal mainstream Democratic Party wants to capture what they think is the jet fuel of the radicals. Thus, Gavin Newsom raged against the end of the shutdown. His press office put out a statement: “Pathetic. This isn’t a deal. It’s a surrender. Don’t bend the knee!” . . .California Rep. Ro Khanna says the Democratic leadership is “out of touch.”
Khanna is a psychopathic commie wog. But when he says out of touch, does he mean with the transexual molotov cocktail throwers and Anti-semitic and anti-Christian street goons shooting up synagogues and churches or with normal, decent civilized American-Americans. Brialliantine stick insect Gavin Newsom, at least at this point, is in my view the likely standard-bearer going into 2028. White male and hetero is usually the kiss of death as a résumé enhancer in Democrat circles, so he better hire Kamala to give him some sword-swallowing lessons. But, Newsom is a disastrous pick in that he's yet another Californian and his record is well known and disastrous. Speaking of sword-swallowing, he'll go down harder and faster than Kamala did against Trump in 2024, Democrat cheating notwithstanding. A J.D. Vance victory should he, as I imagine, be the GOP candidate will cement in place the MAGA agenda and most crucially the most important domestic political policy agenda in decades: the sealing of our borders, and the continued removal of as many of the tens of millions of illegal aliens already draining and straining our economy and society. For the Democrat Party to continue to have sway over the American political landscape if not survive into the next generation (please God make them go the way of the Dodo) , to whatever degree of anti-American and anti-Westernism it degenerates to, from wherever it stands now, it must win the midterms and then the next election. From there it will no doubt use every instrumentality of government and the courts and its street goon terror brigades to erase the successes of President Trump and then take no chances by using whatever means necessary to seize absolute power as has been its goal for most 200 years. This is it, all the marbles baby. As you can see from a few of the links, beyond his lack of communist fervor (though a criminal tyrannical despot for sure whatever the party label) and DEI credentials, there are a number of scandals and of course a record of disaster after disaster in California that make him, as I said earlier, toxic to the Democrat base as much as it does to us normal folks in the rest of the nation. Switching gears completely, I cannot understand why President Trump invited the jihadist Leader of Syria to the White House. Well, Yes I actually do get it and it's not a wise move. He thinks he can rack up a win vis a vis Mideast peace by somehow getting this savage on board with the alleged Gaza peace plan. As if that ever has a real shot at happening given the nature of Islam, as I and others have discussed extensively here and on the podcast as well as elsewhere.
Trump’s invitation to Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa to the White House is a windfall for the former Al-Qaeda leader and a victory for the global jihad. Al-Sharaa has now walked away with a deal that likely surprises even him. He has been escorted into the Western fold with recognition as a legitimate dignitary, no longer sanctioned, and has even signed on to the global coalition to defeat ISIS. It is critical to review the background of al-Sharaa (known, in his days as a jihad leader, as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani) to appreciate the significance of his meeting with Trump — at the White House, no less. Al-Sharaa led the jihad group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTM), which was responsible for former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s fall. The process “essentially began in July 2011, when Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi—then the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq (ISI), previously known as al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI)—sent Abu Mohammed al-Jolani to spearhead his group’s entry into Syria.” Al-Jolani would later become the head of HTS, change his name to Ahmed al-Sharaa, and put on a suit to appeal to naive Westerners. He has done extraordinarily well, given how seasoned he is not only at violent jihad, but at stealth jihad as well.The President is being ill-advised to say the least. To cap off today's Report, some good essays on immigration, most notably from our friend and Ace cruelty maven Prof. Victor Davis Hanson lamenting what immigration is supposed to be, or was supposed to be. Yes we need mass deportations of as many if not all illegal aliens and for sure a moratorium on all immigration for at least a generation if not longer and with it, some sort of mass assimilation program for those who are here to inculcate Americanism and dismantle multiculturalism forever. And sadly that applies not only to immigrants legal and otherwise but to native born citizens who now have to be deprogrammed due to years of brainwashing in American academia. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

(Fittingly, the literary-minded Barrett uses the same reference to Odysseus and the Sirens to convey the role of a written Constitution to restrain the temptations of pure democracy.)

When I read the Antifa "violence" it all seems rather low-grade crap. Mostly yelling, screaming, shoving and an occasional punch in the face. Fireworks? A car lighting up its tires like every kid did with a muscle car in the 70s?
When I think of Violence violence, its more on the order of the No-Go zones the immigrants have made in France, or the worst parts of a Major Sportsball victory celebration.
FWIW, the administration is getting the snipers and others who turn to gun play.

Then why doesn't some MAGA aligned investigator do a deep dive into the financial and social history of these seditionists? Find out their money sources, discover their perversions, and their links to criminals. Trumpet the results on social media to bypass the press. The GOP should be threatening these rogue judges with loss of the courts. But, do they do it? No.

There is a very strong idea of creative destruction within Socialism. Socialism is envious of the Free Market that allows Gateway to die and Dell to survive or Kmart and Sears to be devoured by Target and Walmart.
My guess is that Newsome thinks that the Great Elders of LA and Cali will come together to build a new Shining City on the ashes of crass commercialism and greed but the most they will ever see is a Potemkin Village.

Stop with the damned drugs.
Exercise, sleep, better diet, and if one insists on supplements, start with caffeine and large doses of creatine.
The rest is something not ever prescribed: Discipline. Find out what causes the dysregulation through experimentation and notation and eliminate or regulate those things.
As one who has the clinical symptoms hard, I found a career path where I can lean into some of these things, and meditation (walks where there is plenty of time to explore one's head) makes ADHD a super power.

There is an excellent book "From Barbarians to Bureaucrats" that explores, among other things, the organizational psychology that predicts where an organization can go.
That, and the Bible, its easy to explain why Bureaucrats that think of themselves as Aristocrats will always fail and take down anything within their sphere of influence.

The most highly destructive are the Aristocrats within an organization because they see themselves as masters of the universe. An example case was the American Can Company that pretty much had a monopoly and shaped the packaging industry.
The success of the company (which began in 1901) innovated throughout the years but management in the 1970s started to see themselves as infallible in all industries and started acting like a hedge fund.
The company no longer makes cans or any other packaging, sold out and the legacy lives on as Primerica (a division of Citigroup)

Watching the world around me, I have an informal belief that if 2% of the population can innovate, your nation can be the leader of the world. It is sort of an extension of the 80/20 Pareto Principle.
Your religiously trained home-school demographic is over-represented in today's 2%. One family I know has one son who wants to get into being an HVAC technician, the other wants to get his MD. Another family I know, their daughter recently achieved a doctorate in nursing, the other flew home last week from an ended Peace Corp assignment and has no plans though is highly educated.
I hope to live long enough to see where these different paths lead, but if I were a betting man, I would put money on the HVAC tech and nurse as to who will succeed and live a prosperous and satisfying life.

The only thing that sets us apart from Western Europe at the moment is they have several years' jump on us and we have a great, big ole country that's temporarily going to help us disperse the coming islamification of our cities and towns for a while longer.

Trump has been saying that in all the arguments. That Congress removed the district court jurisdiction to hear this type of case--and they have.
And that there is no statutory basis for the judge to order the relief granted. Like, literally, there is not one shred of authority for the clown judge to order a mass release.
And, of course, that the "consent decree" (and how is it Constitutional for one administration to bind another?) hasn't been violated.
The clown judge don't care.
Like all the other cases involving Trump, the only facts that the clown judge will allow are those presented by the radical leftist plaintiffs.

There is an entire foreign industry producing people for the H1b visa jobs. We need to end that and duplicate it here with American workers.
The American university system is becoming increasingly dependent on foreign students. That’s because what they’re selling, a lot of people have stopped buying or don’t need. You won’t get any reform in that system until you start cutting off the foreign students and force those universities to show what value they provide.
We can whistle past the graveyard, but in the end both of those issues are going to bite someone in the ass.

The US wants to do things in this country that have always been the domain of Southeast Asia: High tech pharmaceutical manufacturing and silicon manufacturing come to mind. The US has no domestic skills in making high tech stuff, we always farmed it out. We can bend sheet metal and assemble things, but don't have the ability to build ships or supply our own medications at scale.
For that you need engineers. The US is filled with gold bricks with "Studies" degrees. There was a South Korean company that got in trouble with immigration laws because the only way to get a plant built in the US was to bring in the people who know how to build such plants. The US doesn't have that talent.
Do we want to mine REM? Then we need to import people who know how to do it. True with every other mfr industry.

I'm not "hair on fire" over Trump's comments - since I don't know what they were - but this is complete horseshit. There are lots of American kids graduating with science/engineering degrees and, having watched the rampant cheating that goes on in schools among the Asian students who do come to the US for college, I'd pretty much call them gold bricks.
H1B is out of control and needs to be either ended or massively reformed. Trump appears to have settled on massively reformed. People are going to freak out about an interview and ignore the actual actions being taken. Same as it ever was.

I'm certain this is a nagging concern for all Dems on every issue, at this point.
They're in some of the more rarefied air of the Great American Shell Game, and they know the score. The monster babies were deliberately drugged, brainwashed and indoctrinated to kill by their Party. They know full well what they're capable of because they created them, and they certainly have been worried that they were losing control of their little monsters by 2014.
But ten years in, one of them finally murdered a Democrat when that Walz aide capped up that broad and her husband in MN for voting wrong. That was a sign of the times, and I'm sure these people are looking at every fat queer with danger hair with a healthy dose of apprehension, now.

Its Mimetic Theory in action. In Asia, you have two billion person pool of a possible 1 or 2% who desire a future that is sustained by engineering and problem solving.
In the US, we just want to terrorize Jews and shoot ICE agents, or alternatively twirk on TikTok while plundering the social services network.
It doesn't help when news keeps coming out that for those who get engineering degrees, they will inevitably lose their jobs because of regulation, cheap foreign labor or ruthless MBA types who see R&D as nothing more than red ink.
In Asia, its all up, in the US we are told its all down.
Learn to Code has turned into the highest unemployment rate. (mostly because top talent went to start-ups like SpaceX while the cheap money has dried up). Most companies don't need innovation, they just need to keep their systems up to date and running. I can get low production people by the ship load to do that.
I saw an article that was comparing the 9-9-6 Asian work ethic to the 4-day work week that the American "worker" is targeting.

Good take on that issue. I do think part of the issue is that AI leadership is now being viewed as a strategic importance in China-US competition and that Trump does not want to rely solely on what crippled US universities turn out as graduates.
During the Manhattan project and the Space Race, a substantial number of top technicians and scientists came from abroad because the talent in the US simply did not exist in the numbers needed.
But we do not need H1B's for a lot of positions like Fakebook software 'engineers', etc.
Right now, I think the administration is focusing like a laser on the economy because if it goes South, Trump's term will essentially be over if he loses Congress. And headwinds from the potential Scotus ruling on tariffs, AI investment bubble, a Fed Reserve filled with crooks and saboteurs, Congress with its crony donor issues, fighting the judicial branch and sanctuary states over deportations, and trying to roll back lawfare is a difficult tightrope to deal with.

This is something I think people don't understand about government; it can, when it suits its needs, operate with blinding speed and efficiency. I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't do that with this situation.

There is almost unlimited demand for healthcare.
In a capitalist system people choose themselves to pay for what they want.
The left claims to want a system though where anyone can get whatever health care they want for "free" or more correctly on the government dime.
So then where does the government get the unlimited money to pay for this? And the answer is it cannot. The answer as we've seen in places like Canada or Europe is the government just restricts healthcare to keep costs down...unless you are politically connected.

Unless you assume Trump wants to be a dictator, you simply cannot chuck ruling class types in prison due to other hacks in black blocking what you try to do. The US Constitution was purposefully designed to make that sort of thing difficult requiring all these procedural barriers.
For one reason, that is why cops relied so much on possession of drugs (and felons in possession of firearms). No intent needs to be established, no hostile witnesses to be corralled and cajoled, etc. Same with deportations of illegals in theory--they are here, not able to prove legal residence, they can be sent home without a jury trial.
Things don't work that way for high level defendants. This is not an engineering problem but a system problem based on law and not able to be 'fixed' without protracted following of criminal procedures.

Because they don't want to.
So, why don't they want to?
Either because it's standard old turncoat GOPery, or because doing it isn't part of their strategy.
"Throw everyone in jail" is not necessarily the correct victory condition to strive for. A jail is just a box with a lock on it that can just as easily be unlocked. A conviction is just words on paper that can be ignored or expunged. Neither necessarily and inevitably leads to the kind of cultural and social tectonic realignment that is necessary right now. If it doesn't serve the ends of unraveling the monstrosity of evil nonsense the Democrat party stands for, then it isn't the right play.
What we need is galvanization and conversion on a civilizational scale if we're going to survive. Tossing some jerks in a cell isn't enough.
Correct or incorrect, that is the best-faith take on "why don't they do all the things I want" I can think of.

Dittos. I have made very good coin in Rescue Missions where a company belatedly discovers that their "genius" decision to offshore core business functions ends up in failure.
The only projects that I was a part of that failed were where the bulk of the work was done offshore. I can't do everyone's work and a lot of mischief goes into the system when I'm asleep.

And Medicare Advantage plans. You have cancer? Sorry, Houston's MD Anderson Cancer Centers are out of network. You need surgical recovery and rehab in the quality nursing home (incl English speaking nurses and therapists) your surgeon prefers because they get the results he wants for his patients? Sorry, out of network. But here is your Medicare Advantage card that allows you $150/mo in purchases from CVS.

There is some of that, but I know plenty of people that seem to be constantly going to the doctor for things that the doctor just isn't going to be able to fix. You are getting older, you don't exercise, you don't sleep well and...you need the DR to tell you why you are tired? You have a flu like illness and need to know which one you have and have the DR tell you to go home and get rest? And on and on....

Hispanics is such a broad term that it is virtually meaningless--Guatemalans are not Mexicans who are not Cubans, who are not Brazilians, etc. etc. One of the reasons that the Great Replacement theory failed is that Biden's and Dems great quasi socialism destroyed the very economy that a lot of the working Hispanics needed and relied upon. Same with legal Hispanics often disliking new illegals, often interlaced with internal resentments based on where the illegals came from from nationalistic rivalries.
Most identity politics is a simple substitution of identity for economic classes under Marxism. And about as reliable as such an overly broad measure tends to be--it is held most prevalent among the 'talented tenth' of identity groups that use division to build their own empires to pillage.

Inserting health insurance payers and more government money changes that not at all.
Insurance companies like to point out that the uninsured population has been cut by a third since ObamaCare came in. That really means they persuaded people to buy their product, as long as it is subsidized by the government. And, since Congress designed the policy, it is a bloated, expensive policy too.
Just set up Roth type health accounts, allow (or require) some savings into those accounts, tell HHS to approve company offerings of minimum cost policies appropriate for age (NOT, one size fits all as now) that citizens can buy with their Roth plans, and that's it. No government money at all.

Hannity mentioned that she was a 'comedienne' and he thought it was funny. Samantha responded saying he was the only one on the right that got the joke and everyone there was laughing. Fair enough. And I'm still willing to listen to her.
And we move into minute 3 where Hannity asks about the shutdown and the stupid bitch changes the topic to Epstein files. And talking point after talking point.
Hannity was willing to have an actual real discussion.
But apparently you can't do that with those things.

My company was doing manufacturing in an Indian facility and decided they needed to know device to try to manufacture new products.
The US based Project Manager set up a schedule and checkins to go from the device getting through customs up to it coming online.
Everything went smoothly until it got to the point of the initial test runs where the Indian team kept reporting odd problems that made no sense. Eventually the project manager got suspicion and demanded they send him a picture of the room where the machine was supposed to be setup and...it wasn't there.
See it had been stuck in customs for weeks and rather then honestly tell the people in the US this the people in India lied because they figured they'd get in trouble even though it wasn't there fault it was stuck in customs. That, amusingly, was because some US law said you can't bribe customs officials even if it is normal in the country you are working in...

It is a nasty fact of life that tradeoffs exist and they often suck in practice. You either have government aka politics rationing care or you can have the market do it on the basis to pay. We chose to combine the inefficiencies of socialism in part in medicine (Medicaid and Medicare) combined with the oligarchic horrors of 'big' medicine in hospital/providers/insurance/pharma blob. So you get a bit of rationing from socialism plus a dollop of rationing by cost while adding a truly massive overhead of subsidies that tend to benefit the blobs rather than the patients involved.
The US Constitution was based on negative rights-aka freedom from which runs head on into today's ideas that one can have a constitutional 'right' to something that requires others to pay and provide it. Same mess with education.

we judges don’t dispense justice solely as we see it; instead, we’re constrained by law adopted through the democratic process. … It’s a unique role created and defined by the Constitution. … In our system, a judge must abide by the rules set by the American people, both in the Constitution and legislation. … Frankly, that takes self-discipline. … My office doesn’t entitle me to align the legal system with my moral or policy views. … If I decide a case based on my judgment about what the law should be, I’m cheating. … As Justice Scalia rightly observed, “The judge who always likes the results he reaches is a bad judge.” … Just as it’s a problem when a judge likes all the results she reaches, so too is it a problem if the judge wants others to like the results that she reaches.

It is inevitable when you have mass voting. DeTocqueville and the Founders were well away that general male suffrage would result in demand for more government spending to benefit themselves. And adding women as voters in the 20th century means even more spending demands.
On the flip side, a limited franchise runs amuck itself in voting its economic and social group privileges denied to others.
Madison had it right, "If men were angels, no government would be necessary." Since they aren't, no system of government works well when the people of a nation itself are not virtuous.

That is part is why I am still enraged about the vaxx pawned off on the American people that is apparently one of the biggest cancer causing agents ever injected into innocent people on purpose. Two steps back for that.

I like turkey but no one else does here, so-
we usually wind up with Prime Rib and Yorkshire Pudding, which is fine.
Ham sometimes with or without the PRaYP.
One year I did a Porcetta.
One year I did Beef Wellington.
All were delish.
This year we won't have a full house so I'll just stick to the PR.

My India Indian owned computer company in Ohio was big into off-shoring work to India. My Indian co-workers were great. Very smart. And the company was at the highest level of that procedure measuring system.
We had a big project where our computer system was going to become web-based. I was just in client support and thankfully not involved but what a crap-show.
Our very talented white web page designer would send working pages over to India and they'd come back all messed up. Things eventually fizzled. It was a mess.
I'm also completely alone now for holidays. My friends had me over for Canadian Thanksgiving. Yesterday, I had them over for our Christmas in November party which started because the kids love decorating the tree. We had a great time. For Christmas, I may volunteer at a soup kitchen.

That's good to hear, Sponge. Mine, too, for the most part. For the older kids, it was missing out on certain social and 'path to adulthood' milestones, such as big parties/proms and getting a drivers license. I am guessing for some kids, they were stymied during a critical time for learning foundational concepts (~ 3rd grade?) with math, reading. If they were passed along to the next grades without really nailing these basics, it likely destroyed their ability to achieve as much going forward.
I am sorry that what Fauci and co. did to our kids is now going to be used to justify discarding/displacing them with foreigners. Criminal!

Two fire extinguishers on each floor. Two in the garage. One under the grill (that one is the expensive halon replacement so it doesn't destroy the grill). The small spray-can ones they used to sell at Costco (maybe still do) in each closet. Fire blanket in the garage.
I've only ever used the one for the grill, but that's just because I put off the grease cleaning for too long...

Agree . However since industrial strength election shenanigans continue largely unabated and with Trump not on the ballot to pull in the infrequent voter pool to beat the margin of cheating a cynic could say the Dems win either way : ie due to to a lack of perceived economic improvement or due to election manipulation. Trump can be-- must be -- laser focused both on the economy AND blocking through any and all means the worst of the election abuses. Policy only -- ie economic policy will not and cannot win the day on its own.

It's pretty simple, I suspect. The American Rescue Plan - 1.9T covid relief bill money is gone. Where did it go? What does anyone tell their constituents? It wasn't simply "supplemental funding" to the ACA though used towards creating unnecessary county boards of health. It also helped deprivatize county prisons, and so much more.
For example, Rockefeller Institute of Government, Mar. 2021, 'The American Rescue Plan Act: State and Local Funding Breakdown'
In small part, "Direct State and Local Relief in the ARP Act
The ARP Act designates $350 billion for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. The House Oversight committee has published preliminary estimates of this funding’s distribution. The funding will flow to states, counties, and individual municipalities, but the ARP Act explicitly prohibits the use of these funds for pensions or tax cuts. (This prohibition on tax cuts may, however, be challenged in court by states’ attorneys general as being unconstitutional.) Identified allowable usages have so far included, but are not limited to: ... "

And it was not to be used for pensions or tax cuts.
But then came the Butch Lewis Act. The Butch Lewis Act was signed into law by Biden and it provided $86 billion to fund multi-employer pension plans for 30 years. (The SFA Program was also enacted as part of the ARP Act of 2021.)
And with the Fed's PBGC's multiemployer pension plan program about out of money, with insolvency predicted around 2025 or 2026, the ARP also provided critical funding to stabilize the program and prevent its collapse!
And there was US Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA)'s commitment to coal communities - $300 million allocated in ARP funds to support economic revitalization in hard-hit coal and energy communities. Stuff like carbon capture programs.
How's that working out?
And so it goes.

ARP has or will adversely affect us all.

Top Story
- Valve has followed up on its very popular Steam Deck gaming handheld with a desktop Steam Machine and a wireless Steam Controller. (Tom's Hardware)
Like the Steam Deck, the 6" black cube called the Steam Machine is at its heart a PC built on AMD components. It has a six core Zen 4 CPU, and a 28 core RDNA3 GPU.
It comes with 16GB of RAM in two DDR5 SODIMMs, 8GB of GGDR6 RAM for the graphics card, and 512GB or 2TB of SSD in an M.2 2230 slot. There's a vacant M.2 2280 slot to add storage of your own.
On the I/O front it has HDMI, DisplayPort, one USB-C port, four USB-A ports, and somewhat disappointingly, gigabit Ethernet.
It also has four built-in antennas for wifi, Bluetooth, and the Steam Controller, and a built-in 300W power supply so you don't need an external brick. It's cooled by a single 120mm fan.
And most importantly it comes running SteamOS rather than Windows.
Give how determined Microsoft is to drive its own users away, I am looking forward to this little device. It's literally half the speed of my current desktop (which has a 12 core Zen 4 CPU and an RDNA3 graphics card with twice the graphics cores and RAM) but for something that sits quietly in the living room attached to the TV it looks ideal.
No prices yet. Shipping "early 2026".
Tech News
- Trying out the latest Framework 16 laptop with the RTX 5070 graphics option. (Tom's Hardware)
It's a Framework 16 laptop with RTX 5070 graphics - which on this particular laptop are upgradeable.
The one surprise is that the graphics upgrade somehow upgraded the display from 100% sRGB to 100% DCI-P3, which is probably really just a colour profile switch.
- Microsoft really wants you to use their Edge browser. (PC Magazine)
For something other than downloading Chrome.
- A study commission by Apple says that when Apple cut its commissions charged to developers, the developers mostly kept the savings rather than reducing prices to customers. (Mac Rumors)
Well, yes. And?
- Need a faster CPU? How about 1024 cores at 6GHz, with 24 channels of DDR5-17600 RAM and 128 lanes of PCIe 7.0? (WCCFTech)
Oh, and it runs both x86 and Arm instructions.
One small problem: It uses 1600W of power.
Oh, and it's not expected to ship before 2027.
They have shipped FPGA-based emulators to developers, so it's not entirely vaporware. Other than that, wake me in a couple of years.

At what point is a hoax not a hoax?
Part of being a hoax is that it's clever enough that the average person believes it because they don't really have any motivation or suspicion to not immediately believe it.
But beyond some line, you're just bullshitting and only the most thoroughly committed acolytes even pretend you're not full of shit.
For whatever reason, it's starting to feel like "hoax" isn't the right word for this kind of Public Lie anymore.

Looks like the new high tech digital heat pump system we put in back in March blew a zone control board the night before last.
But the system was smart enough to put itself in central control mode, and still maintained he house within 1 degree of set-out, even with a low of 28 degrees overnight.
And all without using supplemental heat strips to produce heat.
So...pretty pleased with it.

But it is interesting with all the instrumentation that I have available to me, including energy consumption tracked and graphed in 15 minute increments from our utility provider.
I can literally see on the usage plot where the coffee pot energizes on the timer, and begins to heat up.

We had the gSon and gDaughter here on Tuesday. They requested that I escort them to "the creek" -- the small gully made by street runoff in the wooded area at the corner of our development.
They built a bridge that ran from the roots of a tree against the bank over to the opposite side. It was about eight feet long and about two feet above the desultory flow. Deadfall was their medium. They cobbled together / wove / tangled something of a bridge-like nature and gSon crossed over on it.
Then they re-engineered it with more materials while cheerfully ignoring my warnings that they ought not place their trust in tree parts that had been deadfall for who knows how long and to what degree it may be rotted.
I enjoyed watching them play together outdoors, something they seldom do, and to feel sad that carefree moments doing whatever suited their fancies outdoors as my generation could do when we were their age has, sadly, mostly disappeared now.
gSon tested the improved bridge by crab walking along it. He had only traversed about a third of it when it gave way and he was crab walking in the water. I larfed. He got hot chocolate for having soaked his pants. We all had fun.

Today Linda is dragging me out to some "scavenger hunt" event at World Market. They do this several times a year. They hide some gift cards all over the store with a clue that they are "next to something green," for example. People surge in like they're being given water in the desert. Maybe it won't be too busy on a weekday.
Obviously this is the kind of thing that no self-respecting third-grader would be caught dead doing. However, I can walk over to the Barnes & Noble for a coffee and to leaf through the few magazines that interest me.

Yes, on both counts. Glad I saw it when I did (1991 & 1992). I was stationed in the UK so traveled around a bit. Scotland, IMO, has the most wild, beautiful land in Europe. I am a bit biased. I have pretty strong Celtic bloodlines, mostly Scottish and Welsh.

I haven't gotten up the nerve to dist Linda down and talk about this. Some of the house listings the Owensboro agent has been emailing me are attractive, some are meh.
Salty and Notsothoreau have been suggesting Kansas for a while. I like the houses I see there on Realtor, but the property taxes tend to push the monthly note on even a decently-priced home into a higher range than I like.
I guess I need to screw my courage to the sticking place, get some prices from U-Haul about storing my furniture and the like, and get an apartment in Evansville or Owensboro. From there I can range around and see if Terre Haute, for instance, appeals, and if I like living in IN or KY.
Scary if I have to do it alone. But, "Feel the fear and do it anyway."

And yet it made a kind of sense, a character moment for Ray. "I tried to think of something from my childhood . . . something that would never harm us. . . ."
And that line from Murray is just one of hordes of sly remarks that really made the movie the classic it is. "You don't often see that kind of behavior in a major appliance." "What a lovely singing voice you must have." "Don't cross the streams? Okay, important safety tip. Thanks, Egon." "I've worked in the private sector. They expect results."

It's kind of a time capsule of what we all thought living in New York was like in the mid-Eighties, but the story and its imagination are timeless. If it had just been a car-crash comedy like Blues Brothers, it wouldn't still be loved -- at least not in the way it is, with the two recent sequels. But the fantasy elements and the dark moments, like Ray and Winston talking about the literal end of the world, make it special.

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - October 12, 2025 [Anniversarius Rex]

Good evening. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
Welcome to the mostly peaceful Wednesday night ONT which means another random assortment of interweb odds, ends, and mystery clicks. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Prepare your puns and fire at will. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Pants are optional!
It was hard getting over my addiction to the Hokey Pokey.
But I've turned myself around and that’s what it's all about.
I was so confused last night as my printer started playing music
Turns out the paper was just jamming.
Not all math puns are funny.
Just sum.
What do you call a girl standing in the middle of a tennis court?

This decision, though difficult, reflects the growing financial challenges of producing and distributing the Almanac in today's chaotic media environment. "We are incredibly proud of the legacy we leave behind and grateful to our loyal staff, readers, contributors, and partners who have supported us through the years," Duncan added. "Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, its spirit will live on in the values it championed: simplicity, sustainability, and connection to nature."

Small town life has a lot of great things to offer.
A few months ago we went to the DMV to renew our licenses. There was a young woman there with her mother. She was there to get her first driver's license. She and the DMV employee went outside so she could take the driving test. Everyone was rooting for her.
When she came back in she was grinning and everyone there stood up and applauded her.

Abortion was illegal long before the 19th Amendment. Many suffragettes were pro-abortion and pro-birth control.
This feels like blaming men for the poor choices of women.
Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director at
This is absolutely not true. In fact, the birth control advocates were very frustrated with how conservative the suffragettes were. The suffragettes actively avoided birth control discussions, they did not want the two things combined. Most suffragettes were fine with the current thoughts around marriage, to include submitting to their husbands. Sanger was not a Suffragette.

Since NSA is reading this with AI I will probably get chaps mentioned on Pinterest now when I look. He was shopping for a new chair recently and leather chairs appeared on MY Pinterest. You can no longer have private talks about chaps or anything in life.

Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director
Sanger fled to Europe because she was afraid she would be prosecuted for violating the Comstock Act, Mary Ware Dennett was at the center of the Suffragette movement. When Sanger came back, Dennett put a lot of space between her and Sanger because of Sanger’s violating the law, and Sanger being a disgusting human being. Sanger asked for Dennett’s support for the National birth control League. Dennett said nope, not gonna do it! I am not suggesting Sanger didn’t want women to vote, I am saying she was not part of the suffragette movement. She had her own crazy thing going.

The Great Book of Modern Warplanes, 1987 edition on pg. 601.
Caption reads - An F-14 attached to the Naval Air test center at Patuxent River goes off the ski ramp. While it would appear to have little application for carrier operations other than vertical-landing aircraft such as the Harrier, the ski jump, which can be erected in just two hours, seems to have possibilities when used to assist short takeoffs from a damaged airfield.

I knew the Shiba topic would come up, you are the best for throwing that softball to me. He is fine, I thing the magnetic storm is making him more goblin than normal, he is now on his leash in bed with J because he kept hopping at the cats who were in no mood for his shenanigans this evening. He had to be removed before he got whacked in the eyeball with a claw as he had already gotten a few clawless whacks upside the head. Claws were definitely next.

The show is astonishingly bad. Think of the worst TV show you've ever seen. Then imagine that that show had been scripted and directed by Kathleen Kennedy. That show would STILL be better than "The Star Wars Holiday Special"!
========
I really llked the Holiday special when the family watched it on its one and only broadcast airing back in the day. Hey, it was 1978, I was young, all things Star Wars were cool then. Watched it again 20 years later....it hadn't aged well at all... Mark Hamill trying to emote with half of his face stapled on, carrie Fisher high as a kite, Harrison Ford acting like his family was being held at gunpoint, pervy Uncle Lumpy.... When an appearance by Jefferson Starship can't save it, or even the first appearance of Boba Fett couldn't save it.
The Rifftrax version of it really kicked butt though!!

Are you talking about the Moskva that the Ukrainians sunk a few years ago? Yes that happened. The Moskva was a shitshow, poorly maintained Soviet holdover that had systems that didn't interoperate well. It's suspected that their air defense radar was turned off at the time of the attack due to it causing interference with some other system.
The carrier Admiral Kuznetzov is in dry dock and will probably stay there until it is scrapped. Another crappy Soviet holdover. They disembarked the crew and sent them to the front lines IIRC.

Yes, eventually. The dynamics of that get very complex, and not as well understood as they'd like you to believe.
What gets complex is isostatic adjustment, which changes the relative elevations as the weight of ice or water gets shifted around.

Well, I did exactly that today to shift 13 4X10 panels of 7/16 OSB sheathing from my trailer to temporary storage in the shop. Slid them off the trailer, stood them up on the ground, long axis vertical, and walked them a few yard across the grass, and up a ramp into the shop, and then slid them sideways a couple of yards on the smooth concrete floor to lean them up against the wall. Never had to lift the full weight of one of them.

Seeing as how he's never ridden a horse in his life due to Disneyland trauma when he was 4yrs old, I am not spending a lot. I may look for a good cowboy hat to keep his little bald spot warm this winter instead. I think that will do the trick (for me).
His brother's burro at Disneyland pooped on his burro's head and he's never been the same regarding horses.
He did not ride horses when he could on our cattle farm, or be led around like our sons. I can ride, not gracefully at full gallop, but we had horses. I know enough that during Mad Maxx world ending I can saddle and ride for our grub at ye olde trading post. He can deal with the chickens as they are one of my childhood phobias after being pecked and then an insane rooster who chased my brother and me daily.
Otherwise he's perfectly normal!

When I did the sheetrock at my place in AZ, I made a panel toter. Strip of plywood 15" by 4 feet. Screw and glue a 15" piece of 1X2 across one end, and screw and glue a short 3" piece of plywood to the other edge of the 1X2. Finished toter, seen edge-on, looks like an elongated letter "J". Cut a hand-size hole in the main piece of plywood about an arm's length down from the top. Takes 5 minutes to make using scraps to be found around your construction site. To use it, stand panel of sheetrock upright on its long edge. Lift one end, slide the J-hook under it until you reach the middle. Grab the hole, and lift the whole thing like it were a piece of heavy luggage.

My local coin shop was down to maybe 30 oz last week - no Silver Eagles or Maple Leafs available at all, they couldn't even order any, the mints aren't shipping, and all of the silver being refined by smelters is being shipped to the Comex and London exchanges to cover the huge short positions the banks are in. 100 Oz bars are not available anywhere.

I am not a metals trader but: In normal times spot is lower than futures costs because the futures cost has to include the cost of the metal, and the opportunity cost lost for not getting physical delivery until later - so most traders buy and sell futures without actually touching the metal and take their money back with that bit of extra as profit for putting up the money in the first place.
When suddenly everyone wants metal in their hands, and there is a sudden feeling that no one who has been selling futures actually has the silver on hand to deliver, then the future opportunity cost is reversed because it is no longer the opportunity cost that is important, but the risk of default is suddenly a risk, so the spot price is higher than the futures cost

One of our sons got a nice shot in Central FL. Other son is in Montreal on business and I am sure he will have fabulous photos.
I am ticked off. Last night fairly local people saw them and posted photos online. I have pinkish light on sky. I could weep but it would requre more than this for me to cry.

Something that blew my mind about isostatic adjustment. At first blush, you'd think moving water closer to the poles as ice sheets would be moving mass closer to the poles, ergo, moment of inertia would be less, earth would speed up a smidge. Thus cold earth = fast earth, and hot earth = slow earth.
In fact, it's just the opposite in the long term equilibrium. Earth with ice sheets has a higher moment of inertia than an ice free earth! And ice age earth is more oblate than an ice-free earth.
In fact the isostatic rebound from the last ice age end is still ongoing and countering the tidal braking of the Moon on earth's rotation. Earth is, long term, slowing down, but not as fast as it would be by tidal braking alone. (short term, it's been speeding up relatively big time, which I've rambled about).

From memory (which is dangerous) - MSFT IPOd at $21 per share. I don't think they raised more than $60m in total (after underwriting fees).
The other nugget of history is that Bill Gates wanted to keep MSFT private, but the employee equity program was so expansive that it was approaching 500 owners. Once a company has more than 500 owners, SEC rules required public company registration.

I don't pretend to be smart enough to play the markets at the individual-stock level. I just buy mutual funds. S&P 500 tracker, mostly. I joke about buying the "Nancy Pelosi's stock picks" fund, but never have.
No, I don't get to buy mid-size Caribbean islands when my penny stocks hit $12,000. But I also don't have to sell my beanie-baby collection when they go bust.
Anyway, my job uses Fidelity for my 401k, so that's where I play.

Was reading yesterday about Patrick Moraz of the Moody Blues. He was with the band for over a decade, gave them their 1980s synth sound, years later complained they didn't challenge him anymore in an interview article in about 1990, then found himself unceremoniously fired.
He sued the rest of the band, claiming there was an 'oral agreement' he was a full member, not just a 'hired sideman' as the others claimed. At one point, the Moodies offered him $400k to settle. Moraz refused and wanted to go to court in California.
He did, and got a verdict... for less than $100k. Oops.

One of my all time favorite Motown songs is Jimmy Ruffin, "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted." The label deleted it, but there was supposed to be a spoken-word intro on it. It was restored in a later remaster in the 1990s.

Actually, by the time The boston album hit I was probably playing around 8 years, so I was more than developed enough to play a lot of that album. The major thing I learned from boston was guitar harmonies. I had these 2 little cassette player/recorders. I would play the rhythm on one, play it back, and play one part of the harmony over it while recording it on the second tape player. Now I could work out the second part of the harmony by playing along with the 1st part. Once I had it I would play along with it and again record it with the other player. By the time I was done I had all the guitar parts recorded. After a while I was hearing all the parts in my head and could separate them on the fly. that was a major skill to have, because when metal hit big band like iron maiden and judas priest were doing it a lot, and I never struggled with it because of what I learned with boston.

My husband came upstairs and asked where I was vs my normal perch reading in bed. I was in our walk-in closet which faces north. A round window that I call my spy window.
He is laughing and asks why the top of a shoebox is on the window: to block light from the neighbors as I take photos, which I hope will, by some miracle, show color. He said that is very scientific and we both laughed. I took more damn photos that showed nothing but white clouds and a deep blue sky. The clouds are now breaking up (of course they are as it is over).
He claims that the "sun is more active" and maybe I will someday have another chance. To be caught in the dark longing for red/green is rather pathetic and I will go to bed. Glad for other people who saw it (no you are not).

As long as you pick about 30 or more individual stocks across varied business sectors and over a range of different capitalization sizes you should end up with a pretty well diversified portfolio that for the most part tracks with an index like S&P 500. Obviously exceptions aplenty exist, but it's a good rule of thumb.

I never seem to have much copper around, I always cut the cords off anything being tossed. Just today had to make a 3 ft extension cord to test something.
I was trying that 30% vinegar out on two coffeemakers, worked well on one (diluted) but not so well on the other yet, basically got full strength in it overnight. Probably real good for rust.

Shutdown update: The House passed a procedural vote to bring the actual CR to the floor. They'll now have a short debate before the final vote. Dog subtly indicates he'd like some affection. Figure skating training techniques sure have improved since I silvered at Nagano. I graced the ice to "Alone" by Heart. Some trucks now have automatic-deployment snow chains. Kind of. The chains don't wrap around the tires, just rattle around under the tires to increase friction. It's good to be the king. This dog doesn't know what they're celebrating, but he loves the energy! Please sir, can I have whatever there is that can be eaten? Rescuing a street dog. Visiting hours. This is the most adorable little animal hoarding situation. Deer walks up to get some pets and scritches. Owls are odd birds. Charging up your cat to 100%. FAQ: Will a camel eat a lemon? For further review: If not, why not?

Son's current Golden as a puppy spent a lot of time in emergency vet's. For eating mulch and the baby's socks. IV's took care of the blockage.
His first Golden would come to our house in FL and eat through coconuts. No one seemed concerned about him.
He'd also eaten feathers from his bed, part of a particle board table, and most of a book as a puppy. Sure he pooped white paper mache for awhile, but he was ok. They did not listen to me that he still needed crating at 6mo old. Came home to feathers in the air like snow from his bed and the rest just happened organically in the same day. He was crazy.

Tell me about it! I was walking my dog one night in the front yard when I lived in Northern Virginia, and an owl swooped down out of a tree right in front of me and made off with a rabbit. The poor dog - a pitbull mix, that looked fierce but was actually quite pusillanimous, and who I was halfway convinced had seen, but ignored, the rabbit - was momentarily traumatized.
I love the sound of owls hooting softly in the night.

I admit I still enjoy a lot of episodes of it. But yes, there were problems, and sometimes Alda went nutzo with trying to bring praise to himself, the character of Hawkeye, and the relentless anti-war POV.
Having said that? Faith was treated with respect on the show; see how they portrayed Father Mulcahy. Col. Flagg was a nut but Potter OTOH was a true patriot.
And Charles Emerson Winchester III was a great character (and replacement for Frank Burns), an open conservative who could be a huge elitist snob, but was also a brilliant surgeon, often times thoughtful, and held his own with Hawk and BJ's antics, plus he was never made to apologize for his conservative POV.

Here's a review of the wreckage of this once great institution:
https://tinyurl.com/44t4n837
At least 10 years ago, the CSU system (that's the "State" colleges like Long Beach State) announced they would no longer publish numbers on remedial math/English stats. Or was it that they wouldn't even be offering such classes, with the appealing rationale that students had to pay for such but they didn't count towards graduation? Either way. The %s were scandalous, of course.
Having lectured and graded papers at a CSU, I can confirm that the illiteracy and inability to think critically are terrifying.

Weeks pass. Nobody buys it.
Shit goes stale and flat. Store has to cut price 50% to move it, thereby selling it for 3/2 * 1/2 = 3/4 the original price. Now customers buy it, and are doubly pissed that it's stale and flat.

Another thing learned from the world famous SD Zoo. Owls sensor suites are even more amazing than one might think. Not just the night vision, which is amazing. They can sense the *heartbeats* of prey at a great distance. Owls are considered a major control on the rodent population, globally, and account for a large % of such that are harvested by nature.

The only thing I can add that I learned through experience is barn owls and their fledglings venture out in the evening about an hour or so later than the GHO and they're more fearful of humans than GHO. The barn owls fly at my head shrieking if I go outside when they have babies and the GHO ignore me if I go outside to watch their babies hunt.
If I get too close to the GHO baby on the ground the parents start bill clicking and hooting and I will leave because I don't want to find out what happens next.

He also always wanted out about 5 AM and would come in at 6AM for breakfast, until he didn't come in and I had to go looking for him.

My cats were born under a shed, or left outside by the previous owners, or lived stray for a while before arriving here. They can't tolerate being indoors all the time. The kittens I keep in when it is dark, and I worry.

I want to say that All In The Family is a show that's become so dated, it's almost unwatchable. But the truth is that if you look past the micro-specifics of each episode's plot, and enjoy the "bigger picture" of it (befuddled conservative guy who feels besieged, unappreciative preachy/lazy leftist son-in-law, etc), it still works.

A governor having his house torched while he's inside. Online commentators being threatened (for real).

All I can say for myself is that every one of my many cats over the years have been ferals rescued from the street, and they all readily adjusted to indoor-only living.
Flash, here in front of me, who was feral for seven years, took to indoor living immediately. Feral kittens don't really know they were ever feral, and in theory have nothing new to adjust to.

WKRP in Cincinnati was about a young single man moving to a medium-sized midwest city to work for a mid-market radio station replete with whacky characters.
And both were MTM Productions. Both used "bullpen" sets. As The Mary Tyler Moore Show came to its end, they just shuffled the premise around for WKRP.
A show that is both dated (its setting being terrestrial radio) and still very, very watchable.

Once a few years ago, I prepped my own steak and made it medium-rare. Then I stepped away for a moment. *My freakin' Mom* swung by, saw the steak, thought it was undercooked, and put it *back on the grill* for me. Oh gee thanks so much Mom!! :-P

Coat it in olive oil before you cook it. Do it with steak as well. It locks in the moisture so that even well done meat is still tender. It's so effective that my wife had me check and recheck the internal temperature, because "well done" always tasted like a desert.
The same is true with chicken. "Done" chicken was dry, don't you know, that's how you can tell it is done.
Even an average cut of steak now is like butter with a marinade and some oil.

It was recorded for the show, and for years I wondered what the words actually were. CBS would always run an audio promo for other shows over it.

The real-life Wyatt Earp only killed one man during his time in Kansas, and that one died from infection after Earp winged him. The OK Corral gunfight was the first time he deliberately shot to kill anyone; the TV show was trying to be accurate in having him avoid killing during the earlier seasons, but since they were inventing most of the gunfights he was involved in during those seasons, you'd think they'd have invented a few bad guys for him to kill. When the show eventually got to the OK Corral, they featured the most accurate screen representation of the famous gunfight; it puts most others to shame, and remarkably for early-1960s TV, it's done in slow motion.

I didn't think of how that sounded, I am not in the city, I am decidedly suburban, and everyone lets their cats run free. People in cities don't have that option, but they still have cats.
I am transitioning the new kitten to being comfortable outdoors, he is about 7 months old. The older tom seems to be teaching him how to hunt, of course he is no good at hunting birds either so I don't worry. I worry less because the young cat is also afraid of overhead birds.
However, his name should have been Tom Sawyer, because he is irrepressible and is always at 100%

A lot of what the GOP has been doing is force Dems to make bad votes, the ones they can hammer them with next year and provide citations and stuff.
What's interesting is that the Dems are doing the opposite of what parties normally do. Usually you have the moderates jump ship, but the safe seats hold the line. Schumer had the safe seats (or people not seeking re-election) take a dive because there are no moderates. Even in purple states, Dems fear primary challenges. That's a pretty messed up dynamic.

Listen to this Civil War era song (1861) and guess which "big hit" in 1956 used its melody:

Haw! Ain't that the truth!
Now that I'm retired, I'm digging up a lot of the old tv shows, including westerns. One thing that's fascinating is to see relatively famous movie actors who, as they got older, started doing TV shows. Also, it's fun to see young actors in these shows who later became famous in the movies.
Not a western, of course, but one of the wildest things I ever saw was an episode of Andy Griffith featuring Jack Nicholson.

Since no one cares...
Aura Lea was published by Poulton, an Englishman who had come to the USA with his family as a boy in 1838, and Fosdick in 1861. It was a sentimental ballad at a time when upbeat and cheerful songs were more popular in the music halls. It became popular as a minstrel song, and the tune was also taken up by the U.S. Military Academy as a graduating class song, called "Army Blue"; new lyrics by L. W. Becklaw were sung to the original melody.
Then, in 1956, Ken Darby, (mentioned above for Wyatt Earp TV series), adapted the melody and created Elvis Presley's big hit "Love Me Tender."
Now you know the rest of the story.

From NavSea down to the yards, pretty ugly in many ways for years. Build quality slipping, designs awful. And for many years though not now, these troubled ships manned by dispirited personnel being lectures on "racism" and "inclusion". The rust on many ships is now infamous.
Current SecNav said in his confirmation hearings that he got texts from Trump at night asking about the rust on the ships. Hilarious - and Trump at his best.
Things are improving across the board now but the inertia of de-industrialization and collapsing educational/social standards weighs heavily. Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" fame said an industry group (submarine builders) contacted him, asking for any leads on up to 5K machinists desperately needed for current work. He said he had *nothing* to offer them. Yikes.

The dirty little secret is that many women are pushed into it, because their boyfriends don't want to pay for the kid, and they've been brainwashed to put their earnings first.
The laws that Roe struck down were actually the first wave of wins by women, because they knew that abortions were often coerced. But then the ghouls came up with the idea that killing your baby was "empowering."

I get the suspicion he is referring to Joseph Heller's Catch-22 but I am mystified as to why he will not name Yossarian nor list Heller's book in the bibliography if he goes to the trouble to write THAT.

Read what I wrote again.
The laws Roe struck down were from the mid-19th Century, the first stirring of the womens' movement. Susan B. Anthony was a pro-lifer.
The fact that Suffragettes subsequently embraced Margaret Singer does not refute the logic that abortion is innately unnatural. It makes mothers into murderesses. Actual feminine women despised it.

No True Scotsman. “Feminine” women may reject it, but the majority of voting women do not. KY passed a pro-abortion referendum. Do you think that was all (or even majority) men?
If the 19th Amendment vanished tomorrow, abortion would be outlawed nationwide. Them’s the facts. Universal suffrage == child sacrifice.

Live voting in the House to end the shutdown.
Lumpy Jack: The GOP isn't "taking away Obamcare subsidies." Those "emergency temporary subsidies" were always designed to expire.
During a portion of an interview with NPR aired on Monday's broadcast of "All Things Considered," Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) stated that the Affordable Care Act subsidies that were at issue in the government shutdown are not being taken away by Republicans, since "Democrats designed those tax credits to expire at [the end of] this year." And Republicans were saying they would take about extending the tax credits.You know when pay channels offer you teaser rates of $3 per month for three months? And then the price zooms up to $15 per month but they trust you're not paying attention and will keep paying forever to watch old episodes of Hello Larry? That's every single Democrat spending "plan." They claim the spending will only be for a short period of time and then when that time is up, guess what? It was always intended to be permanent spending until the end of days.
Two major proxy advisory firms -- which I guess analyze corporations and recommend to shareholders who to vote for in corporate board elections -- are telling Cracker Barrel shareholders to dump the Woke DEI marketing executive who drove the stock into the ground.
Why? Let me guess: Because she's a woke white woman with ginormous Attitude Glasses, which give her enhanced powers to Judge You, right? And we can't impose male standards of success or failure on woke women, who are alternately Super-Empowered Girlbosses or Damsels who need rescuing as the circumstances may require. In more woke corporate news, the new non-woke head of Paramount devised a tricky way to get the woke non-workers to quit: He demanded that they "RTO," or Return to Office, and finally take off their Covid Jammies and put on normal work clothes and go to the office to work like all people have done since... well since people have had jobs. Six hundred people quit, which I imagine was not unwelcome by the owners. Fortune, which used to be a business magazine and is now just another woke propaganda outfit, highlights the "cost" to the company of the severance packages. As if those aren't being paid gladly.
Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis advised investors to vote against the re-election of Gilbert Dávila, a DEI specialist, at the annual shareholder meeting on Nov. 20 -- slamming his "faulty" board-level marketing expertise. The proxy firms seemingly implied that Dávila -- also one of Cracker Barrel's top individual shareholders -- played a significant role in the company's rebranding. "Dávila is highlighted in board materials as one of two marketing specialists among the independent directors. He is also a member of a standing board committee whose purview is to assess social and political risks to the company's business," ISS wrote in a note. However, the proxy firms did not push for the removal of CEO Julie Felss Masino, who took over the chain in November 2023.
About 600 employees in the company's Los Angeles and New York offices at the vice-president level and below took the buyout, according to company disclosures filed on Monday--and the severance packages set Paramount back $185 million. The filings cited restructuring costs "associated with actions to align the business around our strategic priorities."I do understand and appreciate the advantages of working from home. (Obviously.) And I know this is a boon to many, and many workers will put in a good day of work from home. But I've also seen all those "Day in the Life" Tik-Toks of entitled non-workers spending their whole day "at work" drinking Himalayan frog tea or whatever. And if that's what a lot of Millennials and Zoomers are doing at work, I cannot imagine what they're doing at home in their jam-jams. Musk's AI Grok is based. It refuses to role-play as a transgender, because that would require denying biological fact. Julie Kelly does not think much of The Blaze's "bombshell" revelation of the J5 bomber based entirely on gait analysis. Actually, her theory is that there is no J5 bomber, and that the video of someone walking around the Capitol on the evening of January 5 does not show that person actually planting bombs. She thinks the bombs -- or "bombs" -- were planted on January 6h. I would guess (but do not know) she thinks that the bombs were planted opportunistically after trouble had started, to sweeten the case against MAGA and the J6ers. Whatever the merits of that theory, here's her new reporting:
ulie Kelly 🇺🇸I think this is the Metro card the FBI believes was used by the "bomber." I don't know if Kelly believes that.
@julie_kelly2 5h I spoke this morning with the individual believed to be "Person of Interest 3" (POI3) in the FBI's original pipe bomb investigation related to January 6. I will not name this individual to protect his privacy since he just found out today (by me) that he had been under FBI surveillance for allowing another individual--"Person of Interest 2" (POI2)--to use his Metro card to travel to Washington DC for Stop the Steal events on Jan 5 and Jan 6.
POI2, according to a Congressional report published last year, was seen on security cameras on the morning of Jan 5 "photographing a dumpster next to the location where the RNC pipe bomb would later be planted." In the days after Jan 6, the FBI considered "POI2's movements to be 'highly suspicious' and considered POI2 as a 'possible accomplice' to the pipe bomber." Both POI2 and POI3 were placed under physical surveillance by the FBI's Washington Field Office. POI2 told investigators in an interview on Jan 19. 2021 that he had "traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend First Amendment activities on Capitol Hill on January 5 and that throughout the day, POI2 photographed 'objects bearing numerals' including doors, dumpsters, and other objects and intended to use these photographs in a book he was writing." Both men were ruled out as suspects by late Jan 2021. POI3 is a 66-year-old man currently employed by the Air Force. Here is what he told me today about the use of his Metro card by his friend (POI2) who he has known for more than 55 years. "I have a friend who came up for the January 6 Stop the Steal protest, he lives out of state. I've known him since 1969, we went to elementary and high school together. He's from my understanding not affiliated with anything illegal or immoral. He is kind of like an evangelist, a religious educator [who] goes all around the world preaching the gospel but he's very Republican, very pro-Trump person. He is probably 67 [years-old] now. He was probably 63 on January 6. He came up a day before or a couple days before the January 6 date and I took him to the Metro. He stayed at my house. I took him to the Metro and I let him borrow my Metro card. I have an extra Metro card, I have one that I use to ride the Metro every day and one that I keep [as] my personal thing. This was during the pandemic so I was working from home the entire time. So he went downtown the day prior to January 6 and he was downtown on January 6. I know he was doing some type of journaling for this event. I know he posted some stuff on Facebook. He was keeping a log telling everybody about all the events and activities that took place. And then I think on the 7th of January, I took him back to Dulles to catch his flight. He came up again for the inauguration [this year] and I let him stay at my house again. Now that relates to my friend who I've known since elementary school who I grew up with. I lived next door to this individual who supposedly is identified as the pipe bomber from everything that I've heard. I've lived in this house [in Falls Church, Virginia] since 2003. So in 2021, they had moved in the year before, her and a gentleman. I knew them purely in passing exchanges, pleasantries on the street. I never went into their house so I don't have any idea of their political leanings in any way, shape, or form. I've been contacted and I did look into the paper and when a picture of this supposed person came up, I said, yes that looks like her. All I can say is there's two people involved in this that I know--my friend who I went to elementary school and high school together who asked for a favor to let him stay at my house during the January 6 rally. As it relates to this lady, this policeman, other than her living next door to me, I have no involvement with her in any way shape or form. It was my understanding they worked for the Metropolitan Police Department, that's all I know and they were not here that long. They just lived next door to me." I will have much more to say on this shortly.She does not think much of The Blaze's "scoop" or of Kyle Seraphim's various accusations.
Julie KellyMore about her take on Seraphim's claims here. Seraphim is now saying he was actually surveilling the suspect publicized by The Blaze much earlier, and was pulled off that surveillance detail. I don't know. I believe it when I hear someone else confirming this.
@julie_kelly2 The allegations in The Blaze, the deceptive (and inconsistent) framing by Seraphin and his acolytes--which I will get to soon including his suggestion POI2 was the alleged pipe bomber's boyfriend lol--and this so-called "whistleblower" report promoted by Tom Massie all rely on the notion that the FBI pulled surveillance of these two men to cover up for the "pipe bomber" neighbor. But as this man told me today, the true account of what happened is very straightforward. And I can tell you after speaking with him, he is extremely sincere, talked very plainly about what happened over those few days, and had no idea he (or his friend) had been a subject of the initial pipe bomb investigation. That is why surveillance of both men ended--not some batsh*t conspiracy theory promoted by the likes of The Blaze and the "Suspendables" that somehow the FBI KNEW the neighbor was the pipe bomber and pulled the agents off the case.

Andrew McCarthy (the astrophotographer, not the other one) has been teasing that he captured something even more spectacular than the Falcon 9 transiting the Sun in H-alpha.
He's dropped the title of the shot, "The Fall of Icarus". He was shooting in the desert with somebody flying one of those paramotor craft on Nov. 9.
I'm betting he got a shot of that in front of the Sun with the big flare going off. I'm not sure, but that's what I'm guessing.

As I recall it, Burghoff left M*A*S*H due to personal issues, plus he was by far the least popular actor on the entire set.
Linville left because he felt he couldn't do anything more with the character and didn't want to get bored. He didn't foresee any big stardom or payday in his future. Plus he was really good with his money and lived off M*A*S*H investments for the rest of his life, I believe.

About 80% of our company works remotely now, from 0% in 2019.
If they mandated a return to office, 3/4 of them would quit, myself included. There is no benefit to me being there in person that outweighs the absurd cost of living and commuting in that blue shithole. Anyone with a brain and plenty who are suspect on account of being leftist loons got the fuck out of that place.
From the company's end, they don't want to pay me what it'd cost to hire me there now either. Rent/mortgage is now about triple what I'm paying here living in real America, even for places with homeless druggies living in tents in your yard.
Another bonus is that I can work extra hours without incurring as much hassle when needed, on top of the 2-3 hours of free time I gain not having to play Mad Max commuting.
The fact that a huge number of office jobs are total bullshit isn't really related to whether or not someone doing a legit job needs to be in an office.

It's a start. I think I appreciate the complexities and issues involved in producing the even larger numbers required to materially reverse the situation that's developed the last 40 years. And want but don't expect more, faster.
But some things are discouraging. Indirect, body-language stuff. Such as the Trump comments to Ingraham in that recent interview. And his remarks to the Iowa rally the day he got the BBB passed. And also - and this is kind of a head-shaker - when the administration adopted a tired populist stunt in blaming the meat-packing industry for beef prices being so high.
I don't know the merits of the beef price situation. But to single out the meat-packers - and rightly pointing out they're largely foreign-owned now (including by Chy-nah) - while making this dubious populist pitch - *when that sector is among the worst/longest-standing/most easily fixed* abusers of illegal labor, and not making that both as rhetorical point AND a policy priority .... a head-shaker.

Jigglers have been a thing forever, and common comms software like MS Teams has had really advanced productivity tracking/employer spy capabilities for years.
Generally speaking most people do work that can be measured by clear metrics (or automated away, now), and either it gets done or not. A minority does stuff that really drives revenue and have the skills and motivation to potentially use WFH advantages to improve quality, quantity, or revenue, or some combo of the three.
I'm one of maybe 200 experts, worldwide, in a specific set of things, in addition to having years of know-how on proprietary systems. I don't have to jiggle a mouse, I can just tell work chat that I'm fucking off for the rest of the day.

1. Democrats got tired of the slow invasion because the public resisted and the immigrants they brought in kept becoming Republicans. So they went with the blitz -- bring in enough people fast, before the public wises up. by then it is too late.
2. Democrats also understand that they can NEVER allow these people to live productive lives. There must be chaos and dependency or they will be Republicans.

I think I first heard of gait analysis on a TV show ("Scorpion", I think). My reaction was something like, "Wow - yeah! That's definitely for real!"
That was because I'm near-sighted, and sometimes didn't wear my glasses. I remember working someplace with long, straight, mostly empty corridors. I would see somebody way down the corridor, but was unable to make a visual ID, but over time I came to realize that I could tell exactly who they were from how they walked. So I've basically used this myself.
In an interview I heard yesterday, the interviewee said that a military guy reviewed just the part of the analysis that has been made public and said that he would be comfortable ordering a snatch and grab based on evidence that strong - life and death stuff.

MASH?
Spoiler:
"It wasn't a chicken!!!"
Perhaps the worst, most lame MASH episode. I think Alda wrote it or directed it.
Oh, and although Alan Alda deserves a kick in the nuts for MASH. He needs a double outshot for "The Mephisto Waltz". Lame-ass horror.

Yes and he's going to get trespassed. He should have said sorry and left but he wanted to argue with me about all the ways it was okay for him to be there and I finally had to scream leave a bunch of times and then he left. I bet his date was impressed. I was in a pink gator with the dog on my lap.

The kids did an amazing job decorating the Christmas tree. They loved their puzzles and Advent Calendars. I saw how those work now - they are pretty cool. I'm wondering what's in the slime one.
The dog Ralphy and I got so many gifts. Candy, treats, stuff the kids made and infinitely valuable pictures of my late mother and of our past Christmases together.
They brought over carrots, corn, mashed potatoes and roast beef. I'm set for food for a few days. So today was a very happy day.
For Christmas, I may try to find a soup kitchen or somewhere to volunteer at. I still have to worry about the dog.
I'm wondering if this years' shutdown is over. I thought the vote was at 7pm.

The fact that a huge number of office jobs are total bullshit isn't really related to whether or not someone doing a legit job needs to be in an office.
Posted by: heya at November 12, 2025 06:41 PM (YJXRQ)

On the whole, remote workers are less productive than in office. There are no studies that are not based upon the employees own responses that says otherwise, outside of a call center study done in China about 10 years ago. And even then, there were caveats. There are a few jobs that can be done remotely, and some have been for a long time. But most people struggle to keep on task with their own stuff gathered around them.
That is why bosses want people back in the office. Now, many of them aren't necessarily located downtown in major cities anymore - just ask the commercial real estate guys about that.

This is not true. Hispanics are voting more GOP, and Hispanic men are already majority GOP voters. Maybe by 26, but certainly by 28, their wives and girlfriends will as well. Hispanics see themselves as white - and the dems crazy cultural stuff absolutely turns them off. As they assimilate into their communities, they are voting GOP.

This one is retired and hasn't been employed in over 10 years. I met him once when he came to my house because I had a bear here and the game warden was training and they called this guy to come and check because they didn't believe me that it was a bear. He showed up in shorts and flip flops and then called the warden and said she's right it's a bear.
He acted like an ass because he used to be able to do that and a chick in a pink gator told him no in front of his date.

It was so obviously the Korean War viewed with a leftist Vietnam War-era sensibility. Hated the movie, disliked the TV series, except for the occasional episode that was fairly politics-free (like Alda trying to get ribs sent over from his favorite place in Chicago).

Maybe it's hair-splitting but I'd say that more than "consider themselves white" that they share (what used to be) mainstream basic values with many non-Dem voters. Even calling these things "values" seems silly - respect for law, hard work, protecting children, etc. - are even more fundamental than "values".
* "Hispanic" is a particularly fuzzy and useless grab-all term for immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean, but whatever.

In the very first inning of (what I hope is?) Trump's long struggle to re-establish rule of law in immigration, with the degraded and alien institutions and people in high hysterics fighting every move (to include Civil War+ levels of encouraging violence against federal personnel) - these GOP members thought the thing to do was to introduce a soft/deceptive amnesty for a segment of the illegal alien population.
The only change that has happened is that Trump, miraculously, is president. For a while.

* "amnesty" is precisely the word for anything that, post-facto, has the effect of legalizing law-breaking, in this case the massive systematic violation of immigration laws. Of course the word would never be uttered in the course of discussion, might be noticed by the dim populace.
