Cambridge's Fabulous Fabulist Jason Arday Found Dead, Assumedly By His Own Hand

This is your fault, Racists. You forced him to lie cheat and steal his way into a position he never had any right to, and you forced the woke communists of Cambridge to promote him to such a high position that his inevitable downfall would be deadly.

Jason Arday found dead

Academic had resigned from the University of Cambridge last week

Jason Arday, the former University of Cambridge professor, has been found dead.

Mr Arday was found "unresponsive" at an address in Battersea, south London, on Friday afternoon. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said officers were called by the London Ambulance Service at 3.12pm on Friday.

He said: "Sadly, a 41-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by officers.

"At this time his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious. The case is being investigated by officers from the Met's Central South Command Unit. A file will be prepared for the coroner."


I can't even stand the sight of you. #DoBetter, Racists. #DoBetter.

I'm not gloating here. Any death is sad. I'm merely reacting, proactively, to the attempt by the left to shame me for their elevation of a basket-case dullard and liar to a perch he would inevitably fall from.

Prof Hilary Cremin @CamEdFac is a disgrace to Education. Baroness Morgan @FitzwilliamColl and Sonita Alleyne @JesusCollegeCam need to resign. And so should the Vice Chancellor of @Cambridge_Uni, Deborah Prentice, who has plunged this once great University to the depths. All those who sat on the two panels and judged Jason Arday worthy of two professorial positions need to search their souls. I said a few days ago that this scandal was of Shakespearean proportions: it is now a monumental tragedy. Shame on all those who never assessed his academic inadequacy and the consequences for his emotional vulnerability.

Remember, entitled, privileged narcissists are too sheltered and weak and fragile to handle the consequences of their actions. So it's incumbent on you to protect them from those consequences.

So you have to indulge them as they kill members of your family.

"Why is all of this happening to meeeeeee?"

More of this winner here.

Thankfully, she got 25 years in prison.

But I don't think she would have gone to prison if she were a minority. There's a black schizophrenic who has been arrested dozens of times for violently attacking white and Asian women on the street for no reason at all, and the black woke DA keeps dismissing the cases against him. The maniac's own family is pleading for the state to arrest him (and "give him the help he needs," though I'll personally just settle for sealing him away forever).

They won't lock him up until one of the tiny women he plays the knockout game with actually dies of head trauma. And he's getting very close to that achievement.

Unrelated: Hasan Piker's Islamist terror wingman Abdulrahman El-Sayed is behind the Republican candidate Mike Rogers, and Rogers hasn't even begun pounding him with negative ads yet.

Also: No one cares about fake global warming.

Despite all the talk of climate change, voters, simply put, don't care.

Climate ranks 14th on list of top issue for the midterm vote (at 3%).

Those who say it's a very big problem is the same as in 2016 (~40%).

Not even a majority agree humans cause any climate change.

43 Any death is sad... yes it is for those who loved him.

However, to never address what he did as a lying, plagerist DEI hire (as far as I know and it ain't much, baybee)...well.

He was ruthlessly picked on when the TRUTH came out of his dreamy world of lecturing about racism vs the syllabus. He probably thought the syllabus was a "silly bus" after many years of riding the short bus.

Based on my excellent observations as a world renowned anthropologist (if he can pretend, so can I), he wasn't "all there" in his noggin. Flat affect in photos. Eyes like Little Orphan Annie in the cartoons.

I also base all of my observations due to Saturday morning cartoons or watching the Three Stooges at an early age for many years.

Trump Signs Executive Order Calling for Reforms in Child Vaccination Schedules; Pete Hegseth Wants a High-T Armed Forces

vaccineliability.png

The media is very angry that Trump and RFKJr. want the vaccine schedule to be based on children's health, not Pfizer's fiscal health.


President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations that promote his long-held but discredited theory that childhood shots should be spaced out into separate medical visits.

The order advocates separating the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three different single-disease shots and administering all childhood immunizations at separate appointments whenever possible. It also directs the nation's health department to improve research on vaccines, which are already extensively studied, and present a plan to offer separate measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines for children, since that is not currently an option in the United States.

The renewed focus on vaccines marks a departure from the Trump administration's recent efforts to emphasize less controversial health policies related to healthy eating, drug price negotiations and medical fraud crackdowns ahead of November's midterm elections.

"Less controversial"? The left has opposed all of these proposals, including the ones they used to support. I saw media headlines asking if ultraprocessed foods, full of chemical preservatives and additives, were really bad for you like RFKJr. says.

Motherf***ers, you've been decrying ultraprocessed foods for fifty f***ing years. Now of all a sudden you're not so sure?


Public health experts have raised concerns that spacing out shots as Trump suggests can lead to an increased risk that children become infected with a vaccine-preventable disease before returning for another visit.

Oh dear, in the two months between vaccinations a child might encounter some of these largely-controlled diseases.

Childhood vaccines -- and how and when to give them in combination -- go through rigorous studies, and safety tracking continues for years as the shots are used.

Trump called the announcement a "major victory for parents rights, religious and constitutional rights, and for the gold standard science."

Trump's order specified that the schedule take account of the medical practices of other "peer, developed countries." In other words, other rich, advanced countries that aren't shithole countries with their heads up their asses.

In other words: Europe and Japan.

Because Europe and Japan aren't as vaccine-crazy as the American establishment wants this country to be.

But this article doesn't mention that, because they don't want to admit to readers there are disputes about the American vaccination schedule, and those disputes are found in advanced, wealthy countries.

And they do that because the "elites" do not believe in science or even democratic discussion. They believe in authoritarianism, and they like to claim "all of the experts" agree with us on this, so shut up, peon, and do what your superiors have commanded.

It is deadly to this argument to admit that the experts in other advanced countries disagree.

So they just don't even mention that.

But the media is here to inform you, right?


Speaking about the order at the Oval Office on Monday, Trump repeatedly suggested the number or timing of vaccines could play a role in rising rates of autism spectrum disorder, even as scientific consensus and decades of studies have firmly concluded there is no link. The order also includes several changes to the childhood vaccine schedule that his health department has already attempted, but that have been blocked by a federal judge. A White House official who insisted on anonymity to brief reporters said Trump was within his right to provide his own recommendation through the executive order and said the lawsuit blocking the health department's schedule was a separate issue.

Dr. Andrew Racine, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said the announcement spreads uncertainty, fear and confusion where "there doesn't need to be any of that." He disputed Trump's recommendations and said previous ones should stand.

Oh well we certainly wouldn't want any "uncertainty" about what our Medical Experts have decided is best for us, would we? They got everything 100% right during covid, right?

The media is also freaking out because Pete Hegseth declared that good testosterone levels are good for military performance, and obviously the women and soyboys of the media react to testosterone like scraggly genderfuck vampires react to garlic.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that he is rolling out a new screening program for "testosterone deficiency" among troops, calling it necessary to allow them to operate at their "absolute best."

The screenings will be conducted annually as part of service members' required medical screenings for those 30 and older, he said. Troops under 30 can volunteer to be tested. In a video on social media, Hegseth said receiving testosterone replacement therapy would be voluntary.

In the video, Hegseth simply refers to troops, though it appears he is talking about only testing men in uniform for hormone irregularities.

Good Lord, they can't even let a program to test for testosterone be about men. They want to know why they're not screening women for testosterone, too.


The move comes as other Trump administration officials have begun to advocate for men to have easier access to testosterone replacement therapies, but the messaging from Hegseth and others blends known science on the hormone with broader, and less substantiated, claims.

When asked what conditions Hegseth was looking to address with the new policy, the Pentagon referred to Hegseth's remarks in the video that mentioned keeping troops "strong, resilient and capable" and that the rigors of the modern battlefield demand "maximum psychological and mental readiness."

Over the past several years, special operations troops -- and specifically Navy SEALs -- have come under scrutiny for their use of testosterone and similar substances to enhance performance.

The death of a SEAL recruit during training in 2022 led to a discovery of substances in his possession, including testosterone, and revealed far more rampant drug use among the elite program than was previously acknowledged.

A year after the recruit's death, the Navy said it would begin a drug-testing program to screen for "any hormonal substance, chemically or pharmacologically related to testosterone, that promotes muscle growth."

Hegseth said his new initiative is "not about artificial enhancement."

The Pentagon did not respond to questions about what research or academic studies underpinned the move. It also didn't say if female troops would be able to be evaluated for estrogen-based therapy as they entered perimenopause.

Sign.

What's the number of post-menopausal women in the military? A couple hundred?

You know, the great bulk of the military is 1, Male, and 2, ages 20 to 40?

And does a deficiency in estrogen reduce performance?

I'm not saying that estrogen replacement isn't important for women. As I understand it, it improves women's lives and was wrongly withheld from women for decades due to flawed studies suggesting it was dangerous.

But we cannot talk about men's issues for one single fucking second without the left shrieking But what about the hundred and fifty postmenopausal women in the military?!! WHAT ABOUT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO MATTER?!



Testosterone levels in men decline naturally with age and have long been linked to issues like erectile dysfunction, low libido, mood changes and weight gain. But experts have debated for years how to diagnose those problems and whether they should be treated by replacing the hormone.

Hegseth's announcement comes as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other Trump administration officials are moving to make it easier for doctors to prescribe testosterone. Last month, the Food and Drug Administration proposed easing prescribing limits on testosterone gels, pills, patches and injections.

...

But many influencers and proponents of Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" movement tout testosterone as a way to look younger, build muscle and stay mentally sharp -- although those uses aren't accepted by most medical experts.

Again, what would we do without experts?

In other health news: There's a trend of AWFULs getting extra covid boosters they don't need just to own the CHUDs.

Oh, and cause a miscarriage, too.

But I don't think these women are likely to be pregnant.

Supposedly "Japanese walking" -- walking at a very brisk, athletic pace for three minutes, then strolling for three minutes, and repeating -- is a very efficient exercise.

It's called Japanese walking, and it's popping up everywhere from group chats to doctors' offices this summer. The idea started with exercise scientists in Matsumoto, Japan, who have spent almost two decades studying it, long before anyone filmed themselves doing it for social media. What makes it different from your usual walk is the timing.

You speed up, then slow down, then speed up again, switching every few minutes instead of holding one pace the whole time. No gym membership, no equipment, just a sidewalk, a track or a treadmill and a willingness to change gears.
Why So Many People Are Skipping Exercise

The gap between wanting to exercise and actually doing it is real. Recent data found that 27% of American adults report zero days of exercise in a typical week, and people who work out nearly every day report noticeably lower daily stress. That pattern shows up most clearly among women, though it's not limited to them.


The method comes from exercise scientists at Shinshu University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan. It's simple. Walk briskly for three minutes, then slow down for three minutes, and repeat for about 30 minutes total.

A five-month study followed 679 middle-aged and older adults and found their peak aerobic capacity climbed by 14%, while a score measuring several disease risk factors improved by 17%. The gains leveled off once fast-walking time passed about 50 minutes a week, so more isn't necessarily better. Steady, one-speed walking over the same stretch of time didn't come close to the same results.

Why Doctors Are on Board

Doctors interviewed in widely read coverage this year say the pace switching pushes your heart harder than an easy stroll, without beating up your joints the way running can. The faster bursts may also keep your body burning a few extra calories after you've stopped walking, an effect linked to interval-style workouts in general.

There's a blood sugar upside, too. Muscles working harder during the fast stretches soak up more glucose, which doctors say could matter most for older adults keeping an eye on their blood sugar.

I'm going to try this. I used to try to walk really fast as exercise. Sometimes I could walk as fast as 13 minutes for a mile.

The problem with that is: It takes a lot of mental effort and concentration. Unless you are literally concentrating in motivating your body to walk much faster than it does naturally all the duration of the walk, you will inevitably just stop walking at that pace. Your body doesn't maintain that pace automatically. You slow down into your normal pace, not because you're tired (though it does take exertion) but just because your brain isn't telling your legs to walk as fast as possible.

You always have to keep mentally focused on keeping the pace as fast as possible, and frankly it's a bitch. If you want to just kind of think and daydream while walking, you're out of luck trying to maintain a fast pace. You will be thinking of walking fast and nothing else.

But... I do think I could keep that kind of mental focus for three minutes, before relaxing into a more normal gait. And then focus again for three minutes. Et cetera.

Keeping focused for 30-40 minutes is hard, but maybe just focusing three minutes at a time is doable.

I have no gains to report. Well, I guess maintenance gains.

Do you have any gains?

Marco Rubio doesn't. And he seems almost proud of that.

50 I think the "clean-up" crew should be taking a much closer look at Vietnam. When the COVID pandemic hit, Vietnam had virtually no visible escalation. That continued on for five months, and medical facilities operated as usual, and were relatively empty.

THEN, in May 2021, the "Vaccine" was leveraged on the Vietnam population and the number of COVID "related" medial issues skyrocketed. This is odd for a number of reasons. The first being that Vietnam has become a secondary industrial complex of Chinese goods, so there would have been constant contact with incoming Chinese citizens, and yet the pandemic didn't effect them while this was occurring. The fact that the effects only hit them when the "Vaccine" was mandated seems like a pretty big coincidence. I'd be interested in know which "Vaccine"...and I'm going to assume it was Chinese in origin.

These days, he's still doing the Arday thing. Last time I checked about five years back, his LinkedIn page had him listed as having been president of about 27 different companies. I checked again just last week and he has a new set of accomplishments.

Insurance companies have an incentive to cover vaccines: they’re very cheap and very cost effective. They’re very likely to keep covering vaccines and following the AAP instead of CDC recommendations

Petty fucks using parental anxiety to manipulate their electoral base in a midterm election year is a new fucking low. Scumbags.

In the absence of rigorous, solid data/research that says otherwise, I’ll continue to offer vaccines on the scientifically studied schedules to my patients.

Obviously, this is really fucking stupid. But what would I know, I am just a lowly board certified pediatrician

When they split the MMR vaccines but kids still develop autism, what will they blame then?

Not surprisingly, when the wheels starting to come off, he tried to kill himself. And failed.

These days, he's still doing the Arday thing. Last time I checked about five years back, his LinkedIn page had him listed as having been president of about 27 different companies. I checked again just last week and he has a new set of accomplishments.

It'll be interesting to check again in another five years.

126 This new vaccine schedule is a kind of weak compromise. It doesn't really remove anything, it just puts them into that category of "(SCDM) Shared Clinical Decision Making" meaning the Dr. tells you it is necessary and unless you are a crazy MAGA, you just listen and give the kid the shot.

He said he is breaking up some of the shots so there are fewer per visit, and work TBD on the MMR, so that's something, but not a lot.

The flu vaccine, for example, needs to go completely. It should not be legal, let alone SCDM.

And I could not find out if the vaccines lose their legal protections and funding when in this SCDM category. My guess is that it is unchanged.

131 What's possibly dangerous about vaccines is not the vaccine itself (the "immunogen"), but all the extra stuff (the "adjuvants") which constitute the majority of what is injected into you. This is what is almost never discussed in the media, and it drives me crazy.

"A vaccine dose contains many ingredients (such as stabilizers, adjuvants, residual inactivating ingredients, residual cell culture materials, residual antibiotics and preservatives) very little of which is the active ingredient, the immunogen. A single dose may have merely nanograms of virus particles."

It's all the other stuff -- which make up 99.9% of the injection -- which can cause adverse health effects.

But what IS the other stuff? That's where things get murky and controversial. For example, throughout the Covid era, most vaccines contained Thiomersal -- which is toxic -- on purpose. The reason fpr these intentially toxic imngredient is to cause inflammation and distress at the injection site, so the white blood cells rush there to fix it, encounter the immunogen instead, and create and immune response.

That;s just one example. Each vaccine has all sorts of creepy mystery ingredients.

159 When my grandson was born 8yrs ago I was horrified at the vaccine schedule. Emailed a pediatrician friend of mine who claimed it was safe and better than having to bring the baby in for more frequent shots. Ok. I was not going to argue with her and all three kids seem normal. No one got mRNA in our family as I screeched about it to sons.

I think it is wise to not give tiny newborns so many injections at the same time. I also was out of the newborn nursery before injecting them with their first Hep B shot. Absurd if the baby is not exposed by the mother. He/she is not going to go have unprotected sex or IV drug use.

171 Here's a vax question. My former vet never asked me to do any kind of vaxes beyond rabies, knowing my cats are strictly indoors. When he moved out of town, the new vet tries to upsell me on all kinds of stuff, including calicivirus vax. I declined.

So now Tom has an upper respiratory infection, not severe, but persistent. I phoned yesterday to make the appt, and I was told (paraphrasing) 'that's what happens if you decline the vaxes.'

I thought that was a strange thing to say when they haven't even examined Tom yet. They don't know what the disease organism is yet.

He did this to dozens of people he knew personally, and strangers, ruing many lives. He's lucky he was killed by one of them.

Got convicted of major fraud, went to prison, got out after four years, and...wait for it...went right back to doing the exact same fraud. Absolutely can not control himself.

I lost track of him after that. I think he went back to his home country to avoid more prison time.

It's twoo, it's twoo!

Mutated COVID-19 variant could be behind surge in SF virus levels, and experts warn a surge could be coming with the start of the school year...Chin-Hong said a newly formulated COVID-19 shot will be released this fall, but older adults or those who are at high risk of severe disease can get a booster shot earlier if they are concerned about rising cases.

(Ireland) Doc here. COVID peaked strongly the last 2 summers. Every chance it will do so again. Those last 2 years, while COVID was rampant, there was no flu or RSV around so if you had symptoms it was almost certainly COVID regardless of the test results.

DC: Pharmacy technician here - there is a summer covid surge going on, and also some sort of awful cough/throat thing with no fever that tests negative for everything. My sickest patient got covid from their kid that was at summer camp where it's been going around...and so it begins lol

I read wastewater surveillance was showing the beginning of a covid summer wave - seen primarily on the west coast.

According to Scott Pinsker, who writes on PJ Media from a PR pro's perspective, the precise timing of recent hits implies that Mike Rogers's campaign chose to hold material for after Abdulrahman clinched the nomination, and the steady tempo indicates that he is still saving some much more damaging releases for September and October. It's a dangerous strategy; in cases where a *literal* flaming bag of shit (like what Principal Skinner was pranked with) with a (D) by its name could win, instead of beating him, you might just get a worse person in office.

Joking aside, one of the ways to build stamina in running is interval training, which this Japanese walking thing sounds like. I mean whatever works, if you get out there, and you are moving, getting your heart rate up, maybe breaking a little sweat, it’s good. Just make sure you add in some sort of resistance/ weight training, and this can be your own body weight, in the form of push ups, varied, planks, etc etc.

He was the most amazing person on earth and was the secret force behind all the industry giants. One of the immortals, just working in the shadows, and he had big BIG ideas. And we're all lucky HE chose US. And this played well with management. Because at some level, they are like him. Took a lot of shenanigans getting him booted out. But in hardship I bonded with my fellow engineers and our structures group was stronger after.

I mean whatever works, if you get out there, and you are moving, getting your heart rate up, maybe breaking a little sweat, it’s good. Just make sure you add in some sort of resistance/ weight training, and this can be your own body weight, in the form of push ups, varied, planks, etc etc.

326 Unproven theory.

Posted by: Braenyard
=======
Enough that there are people here that tell you differently which would be empirical evidence you are wrong. You choose which to believe--your own null theory of no effect or their experience.

When you have your own theory--null theory, that too is subject to empirical testing but most people that don't do modeling never do it to their own pet theories of how the world works.

Occam's razor of people whose lives have literally changed because of it versus your own null theory tends to displace the no effect until you do your own empirical testing. Yours would have to include that they were deluisional, some other unproven effect did it, etc. And would in turn require its own empirical evidence supporting or denying the null hypothesis you just formulated.

She was whining the other day of getting bit by ants walking in her yard and does not know why.

And they think it's working, because they're all in positions of power because bastards like their predecessors put them there. So, obviously, being reflexively racist and reflexively anti-truth and anti-civilization is clearly the correct path. I mean, look how well it's working!

Then last month I started running again. I'm not running fast, but I'm running much better than I was before I gave it up 4 years ago. I think walking hard up hills toughened up my legs and improved my cardio, so it made it easy to start running again.

Daily Wire to Release Film About ISIS Taking Over an American College Campus; Islamist Propagandists Say Criticism of ISIS is Islamophobic; Tuq'r Qarlson Says That Ben Shapiro Is a Sleeper Agent Created by Israel

The movie is a sequel to Run Hide Fight, itself about (I think) students evading and then confronting a school shooter. This one's called Run Hide Fight: Infidels.

It stars Jonathan Majors, who was a much-promoted actor a few years ago before he was accused of physical abuse of a girlfriend. (Though the charges are sketchy and I don't know if they're true or not.) Aiding in his cancellation was his low reputation among his fellow actors, who thought he was an egotistical asshole and would not defend him.


So Jonathan Majors is taking the same path that Armie Hammer just did: cancelled actor agrees to star in a movie that is Made of Weapons-Grade Cancellation Atoms as part of a would-be comeback.

Eh, I'm interested.

Terror apologist and Qatari agent Mehdi Hassan immediately committed what he terms "Islamaphobia," that is, suggesting that Islam and terrorism are one and the same.

Mehdi Hasan
@mehdirhasan

Aug 6

Difficult to come up with a more bigoted, Islamophobic, & cliched trailer than this one.

Also, Hollywood has 'refused' to tell the story of 'radical Islam'? Is Shapiro insane or just gaslighting? Muslims have been the main villains in Hollywood for decades, even predating 9/11!


No they haven't been. Even in the very rare cases that Hollywood makes an Islamic terrorist a villain, he's only a secondary villain, because it turns out he's been hired by the CIA, or the Military-Industrial Complex. The real villain is always white and either explicitly Christian or "Christian-coded," as the leftwing drones say.

The last Islamic villain was, what, the terrorist from True Lies, right? And that's from like 1993!

Mehdi Hassan had previously defended poor misunderstood Islamic rape-gang colonizers, when they were so viciously attacked by Citizen Vigilante.

He was chased out of the UK as a radical Islamist hate preacher and for some reason was allowed to immigrate to this country. (In 2015 -- hm, who was the president then?)

Tuq'r Qarlson got angry at the Jew Shapiro attacking the religion he secretly belongs to, Islam, and accused the Jews of essentially manufacturing Shapiro, like a homonculous, to infiltrate and overthrow the United States and make it a Jewish satrapy.

Joel Mowbray
@joelmowbray

Per Tucker Carlson, @benshapiro was "created" by Israel.

"They" got him "into Harvard Law School" & made @realDailyWire
successful by getting the company a "deal with Facebook that no one got."

Tucker added that Shapiro's views are actually "the opinions of the people who prop up Ben Shapiro, who created Ben Shapiro. This is what they think."

While Tucker mostly avoided naming "they" -- initially calling Shapiro an "employee... of larger interests" -- he eventually let the mask slip.

At 2:35 of this clip, Tucker refers to "Ben Shapiro's employer's foreign policy."

While it's possible that Tucker is being even more sinister -- that he means "Global Jewry" -- the most likely (and only other reasonable) possibility for the "they" is the State of Israel. ("Neocons" in America wouldn't make sense, because they often can't get their own kids into Harvard Law, let alone launch successful businesses.)

Regardless, it is a sign of just how deep Tucker has plunged into the abyss that he believes such an insane theory that Israel (or Global Jewry) "created" Ben Shapiro and manufactured his every success.

The more troubling thing, though, is that Tucker is willing to say it out loud.

But worst of all is that he's not yet hit bottom.

Which means it will only get darker and more bizarre from here.

As many are pointing out, Shapiro entered Harvard law school at age 16 due to being an academic standout.

Tuq'r Qarslon, on the other hand, was a rich bitch Nepo Baby who used his father's CIA network of connections and his adoptive mother's massive wealth to get into college.

But sure, it's Ben Shapiro who needed all the power of a foreign state to get into college.

Justin
@JustinUSA

Ben Shapiro claps back at Tucker Carlson's ridiculous accusations and the damage he's causing by espousing anti-capitalist policies.

The same ones who scream for socialism or accuse Ben of feeding them "goyslop" are the ones living in mansions and living the elitist life with people like Andrew Tate and Hunter Biden.

Tucker Carlson, Zohran Mamdani, and Hasan Piker don't know what struggle is. They grew up in privilege and live the opposite of the lives they claim to favor.

Free markets, equal justice, and free minds are what make America great. The Marxism, feudalism, and Islamism these fraudsters are pushing are un-American ideas that have no place in this country.

When Ben Shapiro made the traditional conservative argument that people complain too much about being poor despite the fact that people have never been richer -- I see some on the right are now railing against this argument, but it is, in fact, standard conservative boilerplate; you can't claim it's some exotic, Jewish-flavored argument -- Tuq'r Qarlson accused him of pushing people to "accept their goyslop" and be happy about it.

"Goyslop" is an antisemitic term, meaning "slop fed to the goys (non-Jews)," and apparently is part of a Nazi conspiracy theory that Jews are pushing fast food on Christians to make them weak and compliant.

goyslop.png

Now, I never heard that term before. I bet 99% of you never heard that term before.

But for some reason it's part of Tuq'r Qarlson's Active Vocabulary of Antisemitic Insults, and he's very comfortable using the term.

It's almost as if he's an Open Secret Nazi and he's sick of having to deny the Nazi identity because he's proud of it.

And meanwhile, Tuq'r continues his war against western capitalism in favor of Race-Based Socialism for Whites, dusting off Hitler's old arguments that capitalism was just a Jewish conspiracy to reduce tribal loyalties and make white non-Jews susceptible to Jewish control.

But he's such a conservative.

He was convicted in NYC of assault charges against his girlfriend. The girlfriend was beaten unconscious. No doubt he did it.

He had a long history before that of criminal and violent behavior.

Dude is a violent lunatic that everyone in his own industry hated. How he ever made it big is beyond me.

Oh: and after he was convicted of beating his GF up, he quickly found another high-profile girlfriend in Meagan Goode, who was once a bit "it girl."

41 Majors should be a case study for the wrong way to try and reform your image after being scandalized with a domestic violence charge. maybe don’t steer into the skid and start making weirdo right wing revenge porn?

The right doesn’t care about domestic violence. The left doesn’t let that shit go while the right pre forgives if you’re Christian.

Imagine the uproar if Muslims were making atrocity propaganda, with calls for violence against jews...

I haven’t watched the full trailer yet, but it isn’t surprising that he turned out to be a Zionist/islamphobe. Jonathan Majors gives off bad vibes.

Celebrity gets accused of weird sex stuff, celebrity begins a conservative grift. Typical cycle

Insert “not reading the room on Israel“ handshake meme, with the Daily Wire on one side and Dem Party leadership on the other.

42 I think I'm starting to hallucinate now, which is worrisome after my long week of either a baby or 2 grandchildren whining due to much needed rain.

We are not used to keeping them inside in the summer. I need to now stock my warehouse with Amazon craft stuff I usually have for winter and snow. They expect entertainment. I expect them to entertain themselves and am often wrong.

I haven't even started day drinking yet and the margins are wide but vision is still clear.

I don't have words to express (well, I do but won't print them) of how much I despise Taqiyya Tuq'r Qarlson (perfection, Ace!) and the obvious, not sneaking, invasion of our country by radical islam.

Twenty Five Years ago on 9/11 I hoped we'd never see this come to the USA.

45 A good high-profile example being the first "Iron Man" (a very good movie, I would say). The Islamic terrorist who captures Tony Stark at the outset was actually hired by Jeff Bridges' character, a rugged-looking industrial capitalist (and obviously white).

you'll see better writing on any given post here, but it is good to see and hear things we're "not allowed to say" sometimes. Will be useful if it breaks the taboo and lets more serious filmmakers take on reality.

The Hebrew Homonculous Shapiro mentioned that, but I think he said the bad guys in the movie were Russians. I dunno, maybe Nazis hired and supplied by Russians. Never saw it.

Also, the movie was the Sum of All Fears. Clear and Present Danger was the lame one in the jungle with Harrison Ford.

Naked Gun: A rich white guy

No muslims

I asked Duck's AI about the last radical muslim villain in an action movie and it suggested 2014's American sniper which is a war movie (and a true story). If we ignore war movies you have to go back to 1998's The Siege where arguably the Muslims still aren't really the villains.

As trans onscreen representation takes a hit in Hollywood, Lilly Wachowski is attempting to make a film with an all-transgender cast… if only the industry will let her.

The Matrix co-auteur recently explained that despite some excitement over the script, financiers “really don’t want to make” her dystopian political thriller The Hunted, which is co-written with partner Mickey Ray Mahoney and budgeted at $10 million, due to the film’s “wall-to-wall trans cast.”

“People like it, but they really don’t want to make it because it’s wall-to-wall trans cast,” said Wachowski on KCRW’s The Business podcast. “I have to get creative and figure out different ways that I can get this in front of people.”

Hollyweird has accounting that makes Enron look legit. And it is a prime way to launder money and affect US sensibilities so of course Faux news had Prince Talal give Murdoch and Co key financing backing, and of course that wouldn't affect 20th Century Fox or Fox channels. Multiply this by the the other sordid media including social media and infotainment studios, etc. and you get that our own media hates America and Americans and hates Christians. Increasingly hates freedom too.

You could have made that into a story, and hell, make it a horror movie, where even advanced, superpowered Kryptonians get destroyed with however diverse a cast you want since I assume like Earthlings there are black and asian Kryptonians (yes its kind of stupid but works in comic book movies) and then have that as a setup for another Synderverse movie with Superman and friends...only this time get a Supergirl that doesn't have fetal alcohol syndrome

But then Nelson and Winnie Mandela turned out to be useless corruptocrats and black South Africans started to be worse off than they had been under Apartheid, so they dropped that one. But for a while there you couldn't avoid it.

They are full of weapons caches.

Not a few handguns or hunting rifles--grenades, rocket launchers, fully-auto military guns and ammo.

The awful cannibal movie Green Inferno has a similar plot. A bunch of leftwing environuts go deep into the jungle to save the rainforest from an evil logging company. They run into cannibals, get eaten alive, and then the few survivors are rescued at the end with the help of the loggers. Movie sucked ass -- but it was fun to watch these whiny commies get theirs.

215 172 >>Best pre-Matrix plot twist? 1945's "Dead of Night." You've got to watch it from the very first frame to the very last frame to get the full effect. If you aren't expecting it, it's kind of emotionally devastating. Way ahead of its time in terms of "everything you thought was real isn't what you thought it was."

sounds interesting, I'll look out for it.

Posted by: ace

There's no way for me to even hint at what the twist is without giving it away. I recommend not reading about the film before watching it.

What Dead of Night is famous for is being the first "anthology"-style horror film, in which six separate Twilight-Zone-style tales are told in a row, connected by an overarching meta-story. Almost all six of the mini-movies within the movie were very influential and were later made into standalone movies (or legendary TV episodes) of their own. The twist does not really involve any of the famous stories-within-the-story, even though they take up 95% of the screen time, but instead is about the framing meta-story, which you aren't really paying attention to until....

247 The time travel mechanism in my first book -- which I never finished -- was based on time being just another axis on the x-y-z coordinate system. Just like you could scroll back and forth on xyz, you could on "t."

But ... since the idea was that a fourth dimension in that system had to be at 90 degree angles to all the others -- just as xyz are all 90 degrees to each other -- the only way to do it was that T constantly flipped and twisted and mutated.

So it was almost impossible to "track" T such that it could be scrolled back and forth on. It wasn't until we developed ultra-computers and solved irrational numbers that we could find T and track it accurately enough to use.

However, it perked me up to know her age as I look far better without make up waking up, and after total exhaustion from grandchildren all week.

I hope she goes to prison.

I also think dat's a man from photos. Or she dragged her sorry flip flops out of her reeking cat piss house of ferals and this is the best she can manage. Pity a veteran did not take her down and roll her into the water, while accidently drowning the demon.

334 Oh screw off, from the NY Post:

Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki scathingly attacked her Trump counterpart Karoline Leavitt on Thursday, claiming she faced hardly any tough questions in the briefing room and had no interest in engaging in good faith discussions.

“The relationship between the press and the White House is supposed to be adversarial by design,” Psaki said on MS NOW, formerly MSNBC, where she was hired after her performance on then-President Biden’s behalf from 2021 to 2022. “I mean, the press in the room are supposed to push for more access, for more information. And there are times when it’s absolutely appropriate for the press secretary to push back. But Karoline Leavitt didn’t want to engage in good faith with those reporters and their tough questions.

“And so, instead, she did everything she could to reshape that briefing room into her own personal safe space where she rarely had to answer a tough question, hardly ever. I mean, she only briefed once or twice a week, max.”

The same larger interests who promote Ben Shapiro have also purchased the entire scientific community around genetic testing, making it seem as though Jews have zero descent from the Khazars, the Turkic people who lived around the lower Volga and whose leadership converted to Judaism not long before their state collapsed.

But we all know that Jews should have to get genetic testing to prove any claim to Israel and that all the scientific studies showing close relationship between Jewish populations are lies perpetrated by hummus-eaters in Tel Aviv!!!

FBI: We Arrested 4,000 Nasty Criminals In the Last Two Months

Kash Patel said he would reorient the FBI away from the Democrat/Wray model of unending election interference on behalf of the communists towards arresting criminals.

These arrests are proof his word is good.


The FBI said Wednesday that Operation Summer Heat, now in its second year, has resulted in over 4,000 arrests and 1,500 indictments in just the past two months.

"Week after week, FBI teams across the country remain committed to confronting the most egregious threats," the bureau said on X. "All the efforts coming from our agents, intelligence analysts, and support staff directly support our mission to be a trusted partner to the nation.

"We all joined the bureau with the same dedication in mind," it continued. "Operations like Summer Heat demonstrate that commitment every day."

The bureau said its teams arrested three members of the Mexican mafia last week who were convicted of murder in 2023, and a member of the Houston street gang Rich Kings.

...

The update comes after the bureau announced Tuesday that it has arrested over 6,600 people in Washington, D.C., over the past year as part of its Safe and Beautiful initiative.

ICE is being harassed by violent antifa retards who provoke them and attempt to ram them with vehicles. And then, when ICE responds with appropriate deadly force, they weaponize ICE agents' understandable desire to protect their own lives.

ICE is considering arming agents with shock gauntlets to give them a less-lethal response to antifa terrorists.

Look, I'm with you -- I like the lethal responses better.


ICE agents may soon have gloves that can deliver electric shocks to combative individuals

To deliver the painful electric shock, they must be applied directly to someone's skin, which helps the officer gain compliance within seconds, according to the manufacturer.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers may soon wear gloves that deliver electric shocks to combative individuals.

The agency plans to spend up to $20 million to purchase the "conducive distraction and de-escalation devices," according to the Associated Press, citing a Department of Homeland Security notice.

The devices are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC of Lexington, Kentucky. The company calls them G.L.O.V.E., which stands for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter. Some jails and law enforcement agencies are already using the devices.

That's dumb.

The company said the devices function as normal gloves until activated, which enables them to deliver a painful electric shock. They must be applied directly to someone's skin, which helps the officer gain compliance within seconds, according to the manufacturer.

But shock gauntlets might make for good videos. Steve Inman could get some mileage out of Blitz Mitts.

The media continues showing that they are pro-crime, pro-terrorist traitors.

Remember, during covid, people would point out all of the adverse effects that seemed to occur after a fake vaccination, and the "experts" would say "well correlation isn't causation, you have no evidence the shot and the side-effect are related, people do suffer heart attacks, heart inflammation, cancer, and miscarriages naturally, without a vaccine"?

Well, all of that "correlation does not imply causation" stuff goes out the window when the media wants to connect a Republican policy to a health event.

If a Republican's involved, then a stroke was definitely caused by a detention.

No need for scientific proof of this. It just is, Racist.

North Carolina pastor taken by ICE had a stroke in detention, family says


Authorities took Gabriel Johnson, 55, to the hospital after he had "stroke-like symptoms," leaving his family fearful for his well-being.

By Daniella Silva

A little more than two weeks after her father was arrested by ICE, Gabri Johnson received the call she had been dreading: Her father, a pastor in North Carolina, was in the hospital in Texas after having a stroke, she said. Since then, ICE has kept their family in the dark about his medical care and her father's condition, Johnson said.

The stroke happened two weeks later? Well, obviously ICE caused it. No 55-year-old men living stressful lives of constant criminality ever suffer stroke, except due to the White Supremacy Sorcery of ICE.

My only comfort is that given that this career criminal is 55 years old, at least they won't run pictures of him from his high school graduation to garner sympathy and show us what great promise this 55-year-old career criminal had.

Oh wait, my bad, that's exactly what they're doing:

So ridiculous. I'm 49 and high school feels like multiple lifetimes ago. I keep up with a couple of friends from that time, but they were part of my life after high school. I don't care about reunions. I don't care about their football team.

Other lifetimes since then:
College
My time with two serious girlfriends
Early work career
Mid work career
Marriage
Fatherhood

All of these run together in some ways, but they are all somewhat distinct in their own ways. I changed during those times in significant ways.

Posted by: NR Pax at August 14, 2026 06:24 AM (99eI0)

Well, back you your day, college was for above-average students. Even before the "demographic cliff," the universalization of college had brought the average IQ of matriculating freshmen down to the national average IQ. Then, adding Didn't Earn It on top of that forced Ivy League schools to add pre-makeup math to cover the 4th-grade-level material that they would need to understand the makeup math that they would need as a foundation sufficient to pass a basic math class that meets graduation requirements.

Now the long-predicted demographic cliff has finally hit, and even public universities (such as Portland State) are closing entire programs (an implicit no-confidence vote on state finances). So if you thought admission standards had nowhere left to fall, you were wrong.

Nothing, but they have their own use case.

A taser typically is a gun-shaped object that you hold in your hand. You can't easily grab with two hands when you're holding it. Some morons even mistake their actual gun for their taser and shoot people they intend to tase.

The glove is useful because you have both hands free to grab a person AND you can tase them on top of that. It's not going to be mistaken for a gun. A subject has to work a lot harder to take it from you and use it against you.

I remember a story about a cop called to a domestic disturbance because the mentally ill kid was having a melt down and mom couldn't control him.

Well the kid didn't calm down at the sight of the cop and even when the cop wrestled him down kept fighting.

So the cop reached for his taser and....well didn't grab the taser. Killed the kid with his gun.

Universities now rely on federal student loan and grant money income to make it. Trump is starting to cut off that airway by refusing to make loans for majors that cannot produce an income to service the debt. Put in hard limits on grad school funding as well that is going to hit the perpetual student population hard if they don't go into coursework that produces a job.

75 ICE is releasing people who are dying in order to avoid reporting their death. They created a new reporting loophole to conceal the deaths of at least two individuals who were abruptly released from custody amidst medical emergencies.

And they're dropping them off in places that they know will finish them off, like at closed businesses in freezing temps with no clothes.

Republicans defend this behavior tooth and nail. They're bad people

This is vile, concentration camp behavior. There need to be ICC investigations into ICE and take all of ICE to The Hague to stand trial when this is done.

True, although it was around that time that lefty commies started challenging involuntary commitment laws. Given the courts at that time -- and especially the loathsome Earl Warren Supreme Court [spits] -- they had a lot of success. It's now so hard to involuntarily commit someone that nobody even bothers.

There's video of it. It shows the fire extinguisher *almost* hit him on his helmet.

There's no way to prove this and confirming information is out of reach, but since he was in one of the categories eligible for early access to the Covid shot, some have speculated that he had a shot-induced stroke.

249 What country did the stroked out pastor arrive from?

In his HS photo he looks to be 30yrs old. I ain't stoopit.

ANYONE can claim to be a pastor at some of the black churches in the South. Unless things have changed.

In my childhood our yardman, Willis, claimed to be a "preacher." We have no idea as my brother and I also thought he was "The Bag Man" due to him dragging burlap bags everywhere, full of cans and bottles as the nation's first recycler.

We never knew what on earth he did in our grandmother's storage room off the garage, but he told us to never go in there due to The Bag Man. We didn't test it. The maids hated him and called him the n word. We learned a lot of words from them.

I have gone into a tangent again, haven't I? A bit brain damaged from having our grandchildren ALL WEEK and not up to normal speed.

Hospitals Defraud the Federal Government, Disguising Costs of "Gender Affirming Care" as Something Else, Claiming It's For Something Else; Hospitals Referred to DOJ for Prosecution

"They should go to prison," JD Vance writes.

This may shock you, but Planned Parenthood may be at the heart of the fraudulent billing.

Which is a nice way to say "theft."


A day after the Trump administration ended federal funding of "sex-rejecting procedures on children," otherwise known as gender affirming care, Vice President J.D. Vance and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. referred hospitals and gender clinics identified in a new HHS billing fraud report for prosecution and investigation.

Vance's letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche asks the Justice Department to investigate whether flagged providers violated the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, False Claims Act and federal fraud and conspiracy laws by "intentionally" miscoding treatment to "secure insurance coverage for gender-transitioning interventions that insurance would not otherwise cover." If so, "they should go to prison."

"More than just pushing these procedures on kids, hospitals and providers may have been defrauding Medicaid and private insurers by using misleading or fraudulent billing codes to get insurance to cover the costs," Vance said in an X thread on the report and criminal referral.

...

The secretary's letter identifies four fishy cohorts: claims for puberty blockers with endocrine disorder diagnosis on the same claim with "no gender diagnosis" and "no precocious puberty" diagnosis, ages 9-17; claims for puberty blockers with precocious puberty diagnosis, 13-17; claims for "primary gender dysphoria" diagnosis with a cross-sex hormone prescription "written the same day" in a state where that's prohibited for minors, 17 and younger; and affiliates to whom prescribers billed at least 95% of their claims in a prescription year and are registered at one of their addresses, all of them Planned Parenthood clinics.

Related: A fraud-mill in NY collected $32 million in sham Medicaid payments and just happened to be donating to NY governess Kathy Hochul while they did so.

Kathy Hochul received $55,000 in campaign contributions from social adult daycare centers (SADCs) in fraud-plagued Flushing, Queens, records show.

Almost half of those donations can be linked to two men: local powerbroker Baoli Zhang, and Jiemin Shang -- who own two of Flushing's biggest daycare businesses, both of which were empty of patients when visited by The Post last week.

Zhang, 69, personally donated $10,000, as well as another $5,000 through his Bao Kang Adult Day Care, financial disclosures show. Zhang's various businesses have claimed at least $32 million from Medicaid since 2018, on behalf of tens of thousands of patients.

Shang runs Livingwell Day Care, which donated $5,000 to Hochul in 2022, the same year it billed $5.8M to Medicaid. Another $5,000 came from Finest Adult Day Care, which Shang also runs.

"In 2021, [social adult daycare centers] were dying due to COVID. Someone threw them a lifeline and must have said something like, 'Take care of me, I'll take care of you.' They're making more money than ever now," an industry source claimed to The Post.

Federal figures back this up. Business has exploded at Livingwell, which billed $114,000 in 2018, a number that increased to $8.05 million in 2024. Bao Kang went from claiming $1.5M in 2018 to $7.22M by 2024. Monthly revenue for daycares across Flushing overall has nearly doubled compared to pre-pandemic numbers.

Only nine of the city's nearly 400 SADCs made contributions over $5,000 to Hochul's first gubernatorial campaign in 2022. Those same nine businesses accounted for billing Medicaid for an eyepopping $49 million in 2022, The Post's investigation found.

======
The inflation is occurring because we are borrowing made up money by the Federal Reserve to cover the massive deficits. Interest is now larger than the current Medicaid and Defense budgets at 1.1 trillion. This is how soft defaults begin. Devaluation of the money but the bankrupt governments trying to buy enough support to lurch further into bankruptcy for a time.

So you get subsidies that are not sustainable at the same time your interest payments start to eat up the rest of your ability to spend. So the pressure goes further to turn those printers onto max.

It is going to take leaders in the West to cross the Rubicon which in turn will provoke some horrendous backlash. Whether they are from the left or from the right remains to be seen. But this is not sustainable even now in Japan--they can't save the yen from crashing even with help.

55 The False Claims Act one is interesting. It allows qui tam actions, which means that a whistleblower could be eligible to receive roughly 15-25% of any amount recovered by the government for fraudulent payments.

That can be a mighty lucrative incentive for somebody to roll on their employer, especially if they think that there is financial trouble ahead.

Prosecutions are virtually meaningless. The dollar amounts involved make this analogous to the drug trade: jail or kill as many as you want, the stakes are worth the stretch, especially to groups that don't view fraud as inherently wrong as a matter of their home culture, so others will replace them. The only solution is radically shrinking the size of federal and state governments. They are fraud magnets.

85 Further note on Transitioning by surgery: the WPATH is requesting dismissal of the FTC because they claim the protocol they put out was "just an opinion, Man"

PDF of filing to Dismiss: https://tinyurl.com/2s36wjrd

Dismissal is required for several reasons. First, Plaintiffs fail to allege a single deceptive statement by WPATH, much less a statement to consumers. The “core deceptive statements” the Complaint purports to identify from SOC-8 are non-actionable opinions about subjects on which there is “medical and scientific uncertainty.” United States v. Skrmetti, 605 U.S. 495, 524 (2025).
The Fifth Circuit has held that “merely publishing a medical opinion—even a hotly debated one— in a peer-reviewed journal cannot give rise to a misrepresentation claim.” Torrey v. Infectious Diseases Soc’y of Am., 86 F.4th 701, 704 (5th Cir. 2023). All statements Plaintiffs identify have extensive citations to peer-reviewed scientific studies that Plaintiffs simply ignore. Plaintiffs further ignore that WPATH expresses these scientific opinions not to consumers, but to the professionals best able to evaluate them: doctors.

I had a colleague of mine from way back reach out to me about a job at his company. I said yeah looks interesting I’ll have a conversation. So he submitted me to his company’s Workday. A few days later a recruiter from the company asked me to be a connection on LinkedIn. Then nothing. I checked on workday and my application was changed to no longer under consideration.

So I got back to my guy there and asked what’s up? Turned out the HR woman got me confused with someone else. She wanted to interview me and reject him but did an oopsie and cancelled my application. She eventually did get back in touch.

This is how fucked up hiring is these days. An endless series of workday black holes and incompetent HR people with AI slop thrown in for good measure.

You are thinking in view of traditional western justice. Under the nature of necessity for a new regime, there will be head chopping and lopping simply to reestablish order and the courts will comply as they want to keep their heads as well.

The West is heading for a discontinuity because those in the West that should know better from history are pushing a societal collapse for some reasons--perhaps thinking they will rule over the ruins, perhaps some sort of euthanizing the 90 percent of the rest of society, to bring about the revolution of the proletariat, who knows. But the rules of the new game are going to be harsh and have to be--so the wreckers and looters will get the noose or bullet as the case may be to bolster the new regime. Same reason that the Chicoms did mass public executions of druggies and their drug lords in public stadiums. The outrages encourage the rest to avoid such a fate.

I had a Chinese defense lawyer in one of my classes, he mentioned he met clients the morning of the trial, the presumption was guilt, and his client would be executed by evening. That is what is coming when the finances collapse.

I find the "affordability crisis" conversation fascinating. The left wants the discussion to begin and end with Trump. The right seems to be a bit fragmented.

Some try to argue there is no crisis and you just need to get good at cooking at home or cut back on frivolous purchases. Some try to argue it's mostly inflation due to Covid spending and other waste. Some point to more systemic issues like fraud, illegals, massive government burdens, etc.

I tend to agree with the last group that it's all of the above. But I sure do wish we could fix this crap. Food is damn expensive. Housing is damn expensive. Gas in my state is damn expensive.

Not necessarily. A foolish coup generally gets the participants getting the bullet. I think they go authoritarian and that is what provokes the new civil war because dominating the cities is not the same as dominating the rest of the countryside regardless of how many nukes you control or the army or whatever. Revolutions that are city based always have the weakness of cities---food, water, and trade come from the outside, not from inside the city. And our gutted cities are not strongholds in the traditional historical sense but only a bunch of hungry mouths.

Yes! Many companies are in the aerospace industry: Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman, Lockheed…. If you have the right qualifications you can find open job requisitions.

This is the reality of the tech revolution - big cities have become borderline liabilities in an economic sense. This is not unheard of as the British discovered in the American Revolution.

But cities can now also become net negative economic income centers, meaning there are all the other problems with cities as a locus of power getting isolated, but they are not nearly as strong economically as they used to be. The left is weaker than they think.

If you are bored, you can look up the Federal Sentencing guidelines for the recommended sentence. For a judge to go above or below that 'average' sentence, they have to formally depart by an opinion from that guideline sentence either upwards or downwards and give specific allowable reasons why they departed. Both the prosecutors and the defense then are allowed to appeal the sentence. The feds will also do a full workup for sentencing with the Probation Service noting all mitigating and aggravating circumstances plus prior criminal history for the judge in a formal sentencing report. Normally, not always, that sentencing report nuggets are used if the judge wants to depart from the recommended sentencing range.

The 620 range is purely hypothetical and even then is way optimistic. Maybe 400-450 miles if not driven hard. Which defeats the purpose.

I instruct at a race course and every once in a while some dude will bring one of those 1,000+ hp super EVs. At full track speed, it will not last more than maybe 30 miles. Not joking. You can literally see the "charge" gauge going down in real time.

183 Since the left doesn't understand economics, they don't realize pouring unlimited federal money into a commodity of limited supply (like health care) increases the cost of that item instantly and for as long as the federal money pours in.

Moreover, when actual, real demand for health care doesn't exist, industrious criminals will manufacture fraudulent demand, just to get at the unlimited supply of government money.

So this fraud is massive and unstoppable, so long as the federal government piles in the cash.

Yes and no, by reducing the size of the consumers in absolute terms, it lessens internal pressure on goods like rentals, houses, food, at the same time raising labor prices. What you will probably see is a drastic reduction in profits for companies as labor costs are one of the largest components of production costs for goods. That leaves companies either doing without, mechanizing, or paying the piper. Tariffs remove the obvious response which is off shoring and if the misused H1Bs etc. become no longer competitive or legal to hire, then you end up with increased labor costs and decreased demand for your products.

Home market is a microcosm---reducing demand for high end houses in Texas by H1B departures, leads to a glut of houses, leads to lesser home prices but a drastic loss in developer profits while eliminating illegals from their construction crews means much higher labor costs. So the developer's wallet get squeezed in both directions.

That will be reflected in the stock and lending markets as the system shocks continue.

Lotsa reasons and the lower-end beef is still pretty reasonable. The high end stuff is very expensive, but then it always was.

Beef has exploded in popularity both on the home table and at restaurants. High-end steakhouses are the new rage. All that demand drives up prices.

Steak was once a men thing. Now it's a woman thing too. Go to any high-end steakhouse webpage, and it will almost certainly feature attractive ladies in $2000 dresses and $1500 shoes. Beef made a big push into this demo, and it worked.

Beef Herds in the US are the lowest that it has been for decades. Add in the screwworm problem affecting cross border calving and imports. Takes a lot longer to increase beef production as in years than it does for chickens, turkey, or pig production.

And if you bring in imports to lower the price, you stymie increases in the US herd recovery and become dependent on foreign beef.

You cannot have a rational discussion with leftists. Instead, it is better to pelt them with rhetoric to make them feel bad and flee and ignore trying to make the dialectic argument whereas the Right will always be wrong because of whatever talking points they parrot from media.

Better off just insulting them and making them feel bad, psychologically it depresses them far more than a dialectical argument which gives them satisfaction, (hubris of course), that they really showed Rightie who was correct.

Nowadays, I find it much more peaceful to avoid discussing politics with leftists--I had to do the dialectical thing for too long as a professor instead of telling them they were idiots for believing such and they needed to step away from their virtual world into reality.

250 Inflation is at one level really simple. Every dollar the government spends comes either from taxes, some other asset the government has (which is somewhat rare) or...inflation.

If spending goes up without a companion tax increase you get...inflation.

Yes, you can raise taxes but that is only a short term fix because this will lower overall economic activity.

So really the only lever to stop inflation is reduce spending. Now that doesn't mean that whatever "charity" type cause you believe in has to be defunded. But it does mean it has to stop being funded by the government and instead be funded by YOU.

It isn't going to stop at 3 percent. Some president is going to do the King Henry the 8th and defund the secular religious centers like NGOs and universities because that is where the money has went. 13.2 trillion or so which is roughly one third of our current total debt.

Sigh, the substitution effect is something that is always ignored because most people don't understand basic supply and demand. Macroeconomics is full of bullshittery and fake incorporation of politics instead of reality.

Microeconomics is a pretty precise science that has not changed much since being more or less hashed out in theory in the 1890's.

Went to 5 Guys yesterday, and while I was eating my $13 cheeseburger I started doing a little math (I know that's discouraged here...sorry). But the burger had about 1/4 lb of beef. I can get about 1.3 lbs. of beef at the grocery story for under $10. So, I can make 5 burgers for less than they charge for one, AND I'm sure that their cost for hamburger is a bulk discount price, so call it six burgers. That's quite the mark-up profit margin. Now, I'm not retarded, I know they have a significant number of other costs (rolls, toppings, licensing, WC, insurance, rent etc). But, when all is said and done I'll bet their profit margin sits at about 100%.

Federal Court draws jurors from a broader area than the state charges would. Plus, I'll bet that Mangione had done other crimes or had perversions that he did not want revealed in court. The other crimes might have been committed in other jurisdictions like Thailand for example. Or perhaps he took the rap in order not to have fellow conspirators charged as accessories. But the feds obviously had a club ready to use on his ass and multiple charges of other crimes like sex tourism, or charging friendz or loved ones is just that type of club.

You don't just snap and commit murder, there is generally a line of prior, uncharged sometimes, but other crimes committed before the big Murder One.

THE MORNING RANT: Alberta Independence Is a Necessary Bulwark Against Canada’s Capitulation to the Enemies of Western Civilization

Cowboy Alberta Flag Mountie Canadian Flag.png

Canada is gone. It cannot be saved nor restored to the polite, commonwealth country we knew in the 20th Century.

Alberta, however, and much of Canada outside of Ontario and the Vancouver-area can still be saved. They need to be saved.

The best-case scenario for Vancouver and Toronto is that they’ll end up demographically and economically like Singapore. The more likely scenario is that they’ll end up as balkanized hell-holes, like Brussels, Paris, and London have become.

The security of the United States and the perpetuation of western civilization in North America requires that the salvageable parts of Canada be set free from its cascading de-westernization.

There is reason for hope. The Alberta independence movement has gathered enough verified petition signatures to force a referendum in October. Albertans will cast a Yes/No vote for the following question. “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”

While this vote is non-binding, if it passes and Prime Minister Carney does not allow the independence process to move forward, the United States and President Trump should support the people of Alberta with pre-emptive recognition of its independence. There are plenty of incentives - and disincentives - that the U.S. can employ to force Carney’s capitulation.

The situation involving Canada really is that dire, as reported by Will Thibeau in a recent article at The Blaze: “Canada Has Become America’s Northern Security Threat.” The sub-headline to that article reads: ”Mass migration, foreign interference, Chinese surveillance technology, and weak border controls have turned a trusted ally into a growing vulnerability.”

Canada is becoming one of America’s most underestimated national security vulnerabilities: a permissive northern platform through which mass migration, organized crime, and hostile foreign influence can reach the United States.

In the early 1960s, Canada’s population was 97% European, based on ethnic origin. That declined to just 52% by the 2020s, due to a mass-immigration regime that rejected Canada’s heritage and intentionally sought to alter the cultural makeup of Canada.

Canada embraced state-sponsored multiculturalism. Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau even described the country as the world’s first “postnational state,” with “no core identity” and “no mainstream.” Canada has combined mass immigration with an increasingly vague idea of national belonging.

If Canada is “post-national” as Justin Trudeau boasts, then Alberta is entitled to be a country of its own, since Canada has ceased to be a nation.

The two greatest foreign threats to the United States, in my opinion, are:

1) The 21st century Chinese empire, which is trying to expand its influence into the western hemisphere.

2) A global Islamic caliphate, which is really just part of the ongoing 1,400-year war between the Christian West and Islam.

Both of these threats are establishing North American toeholds in Canada.

China presents the gravest strategic threat. Beijing does not need to turn Canada into an outright enemy of the United States. It needs only to use Canada as a gateway into the North American system.

Canada’s decision to allow Chinese electric vehicles into the country at reduced tariff rates shows the risk. Modern electric vehicles are not simply cars. Their cameras, microphones, sensors, software, and remote-update capabilities can collect enormous quantities of data.

That policy could put tens of thousands of Chinese surveillance platforms on American roads, gathering information near military bases, power plants, communications infrastructure, and other sensitive sites.

The United States also has a virtually unsecured border with Canada. When Canada was still a 1st-world, pro-western nation, we didn’t have to worry about it. That is no longer the case.

When the United States tightens its southern border while Canada maintains looser entry policies, the northern frontier becomes an escape valve for foreign nationals seeking unlawful entry. The danger extends beyond illegal immigration. Criminal organizations, foreign agents, and potentially terrorist-linked individuals can exploit a border designed around an older assumption of trust.

Getting back to the Islamification of Canada, even the prairie provinces are submitting to government-sponsored Islamic indoctrination. Authorities in Saskatchewan have acquiesced to a mosque’s demand to blast Islamic calls to prayer through downtown Regina, so as to “help introduce” Islamic rituals and obedience to the non-Muslims in Regina.

“Regina's New Friday Soundtrack: Islamic Calls to Prayer” [Juno News – 6/22/2026]

Canadians living in Regina’s downtown core were subjected to an outdoor Islamic call to prayer broadcast out loud from a mosque for the first time just steps from City Hall.

The Regina City Jamia Masjid used rooftop speakers at its McIntyre Street location to project the Adhan at 1 p.m., marking a trial run approved by police and set to run at least through mid-July.

Anisur Rahaman of the RCJM broadcast told CTV News it would “help introduce” the mosque to both Muslim and non-Muslim residents from its downtown location.

We cannot surrender any more North American ground to the enemies of western civilization. The salvageable parts of Canada must be saved, and it needs to start in Alberta.

26 Agree 100% Buck. If, God willing, DeSantis or Rubio is 48, building a northern border wall needs to be part of the agenda. Start with building 100 miles of barriers east and west of all major Canadian population centers. There will still be vast, unprotected swaths of border, but surveillance drones and satellites can pick up any unusual or heavy traffic along those parts.

Cartels, smugglers, and terrorists are people; they are inherently lazy and will use the same routes over and over.

I've had the same thought about Canada -- a growing security problem for the US.

The same Islamic, Indian, and CCP infiltration has been happening in the US. The problem in Canada makes this worse, though.

The other thought I've had about Canada is that it's slightly larger than the US, but has about 10% of the population. Hardly anybody there. If Canada ceases to function as a nation, and remains a growing threat, maybe...

32 It was a good run while it lasted but the barbarians will win because the "civilized" are weak feckless pussies. This is the paradox of civilization, that it carries within it the seeds of its own destruction. Tolerance and peacefulness and agreeableness and distaste for violence will ultimately fall in the face of those who don't give a flying fuck about any of things, and in fact hold them contempt.

33 Canada's been a national security threat to the US for years since they cozied up to the ChiComs.

The Mexican border is bad, but it's mostly 3rd world and cartel issues that are a threat. Canada openly works with the Chinese military.

Which is worse? Both are pretty bad. Closing both borders will probably become a necessity.

36 If, God willing, DeSantis or Rubio is 48, building a northern border wall needs to be part of the agenda. Start with building 100 miles of barriers east and west of all major Canadian population centers. There will still be vast, unprotected swaths of border, but surveillance drones and satellites can pick up any unusual or heavy traffic along those parts.


We had this discussion when Bush II wanted a "high-tech fence", aka no fence at all. 100 miles of actual wall would be utterly useless. It's like building a gate on a road, and leaving the shoulders and adjacent fields unprotected.

40 Albertans will cast a Yes/No vote for the following question. “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”

A yes-or-no answer to an either/or question?

Apparently even the people who want independence don't actually want independence.

41 As far as China goes, time is not on their side. The leaders know they have a demographic bomb. The longer they can be strung out, the weaker they will be. However, China's agents in the west are already doing a lot of damage. They may be destined to lose due to their own political failures, but they have been, are, and will continue to do a lot of damage in the United States and the West.

In that sense, some of Trump 47s actions in Venezuela, Panama, and Cuba may have set China back enough to potentially delay any aggression towards Taiwan.

54 If there are churches near that mosque in Regina perhaps they can also install speakers and loudly play a set of hymns at certain times of the day. Should be OK, what's good for one is good for the other. By using internet connections to synchronize the playing all churches would play the same thing at the same time.

I suggest starting with "Onward Christian Soldiers".

Well, what we have now is nothing, and it's too expensive to attempt to wall the whole things. So, if 48 can start the process, the 100 miles can be expanded to 125, 150, 175 in each direction over time.

Of course, you also have the problem of the Great Lakes. There are a ton of limits to what one can do to secure those shores without depriving Americans of the ability use their shoreline property.

I opine only for myself. I don't quite trust Vance. Maybe it's the footsie with Tucker. He's not necessarily done things wrong, and I appreciate his efforts on spearheading coordination to weed out some of the fraud. But DeSantis has by far the most proven track record, and Rubio has been nothing but stellar the past few years.

Sorry bro. I've been in your shoes a number of times and wish I had a good explanation or words of wisdom for you. The whole job seeking thing went to shit some time ago and from what I can see is only getting worse. My only thought is networking, which I personally suck at, but meeting people and making connections seem to go much further than resume, experience, competence, and work ethic. I also hate to tell you this but if you're identifiably middle-aged you are going to be ice skating uphill, the ADEA notwithstanding.

Unfortunately it’s not just one poll. It’s a lot of them. And they all say 25-30% support. I think there was one that showed 35% a few months ago as an outlier.

Brexit polls showed remain winning but it was like 3% lead to remain and leave won by 3%. Polls can be off as we all know.. But we’re taking polls showing 60-30 remain with 10% not sure. Unless something insane happens, that isn’t turning into 51-49 leave.

Five words or less?

server, automation, innovation
(two words to be determined later)

My 'programming knowledge' has been focused on (Windows) server scripting and administration for the last 20 years, so general 'write an app' or 'serverless database' or 'must have experience building and supporting kubernetes clusters' stuff isn't going anywhere fast. Innovation - I prefer to be doing interesting things like building new systems or automating maintenance or writing code.

I have some cloud experience, and I understand a little more than just the basics of firewalls and networking and storage arrays, but when they want '5+ years administering storage arrays and managing routers', I can't claim that. That was the job of two other groups that I knew how to explain my needs to and how to diagnose when they got it wrong.

The only thing I can offer is perhaps doing informational interviewing of people in the field you want to work in. If you are not seeking a job (at least not directly) and simply discussing someone's work, that gets you away from the HR screening apparatus that is designed to keep potential job seekers away from bothering employees. What Color is My Parachute is the one book that has preached this since 1960's and it is successful and stayed in print for so long because it is a useful technique.

Libraries or Ebay have this book and I advise reading it for the nuances of doing this. Worked for a number of my students fwiw.

Unless you got a friend that's going to set you up, you need to brush up on Python, JavaScript, C#, Java, and Lua.

The fastest way in would be to try to get a junior web-dev, if you want to continue the tech route.

There are a lot of job postings for programmers that can program UI's and control systems for AV integration.

Take a look at every crash course video on YouTube.

If your current skillset is just general bash or powershell scripting, that's going to be tough.

Okay, so listen. If you see a role that says this and you have 60% of what they want, throw your hat in the ring and create a nexis between what you do know and how you can close the gap. You are a salesman in your interview and you are selling you. The very best you that exists. The other thing is if you are seeing roles pop up that consistently require this skill set, go find some free class on it, even if you know more than the instructor. 1. It opens networking and 2. In your interview, you are going to say “I have recognized this trend as a needed skill. I wanted to close the gap in my tool kit, so I have taken course z, etc etc.” shows recognition of skill gap, recognition of emerging trends and initiative to resolve.

154 At the end of the day, they are going to side with their co-religionists and ethnic tribe, not the US. And they won't denounce them either because that would make them a 'bad Muslim' from those in their congregation. And as the percentage of Muslims rise in a society, so does the crackdown on what the fundamentalists consider heretical behavior. FWIW, same goes with the left. Humans are herd tribal animals by and large.

We don't like to hear such things but the good ones are here to do things that they could not do in their home societies but that does not make them amenable to supporting Us versus Them when the inevitable crunch occurs. Seen it happen in real time during times like 9/11 or tensions in the Middle East.

Lee Kuan Yew was correct unfortunately--and that is because most people are followers and not ideological per se.

It is when a crisis occurs and a choice must be made, they side with one or the other side and that is going to be who they identify with. For Southerners in the time of the Civil War, they sided with their homes, kin, and friends. For Northerners, the same. And the few dissenters on either side were silenced or worse.

Dave - IT hiring is some of the worst about doing what you describe. Apply for it anyway, highlight the hell out of the things you can do. Realize unfortunately some of those companies are looking for someone who doesn't exist - some of them may just be essentially ghost jobs to fulfill an in ternal recruiting requirement. Current "Talent Acquisition" practices suck, as do the bosses running those sections. Sorry about that.
And networking is the biggest key - even if you suck at it, lay out a network map, and start filling it.

Yes, those hiring view such as disposable, dated, and are far more critical of them than justified. It is the one form of bigotry still allowed combining age with racial discrimination. It is ingrained into corporate think. This is not the job market of even 2016, it is infested with those making decisions doing so in view of what they think the organization, not them, value. And that marketplace does not value older white men. Tech has become particularly vicious about it.

Small business is less likely to do that because they are often more on a knife's edge of survival but has its own problems simply to keep running and make a profit.

Which is why including "hit man" and "Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist" could be so entertaining.

169 Yes, those hiring view such as disposable, dated, and are far more critical of them than justified. It is the one form of bigotry still allowed combining age with racial discrimination. It is ingrained into corporate think. This is not the job market of even 2016, it is infested with those making decisions doing so in view of what they think the organization, not them, value. And that marketplace does not value older white men. Tech has become particularly vicious about it.

Small business is less likely to do that because they are often more on a knife's edge of survival but has its own problems simply to keep running and make a profit.

170 Alberta independence has about 30% support. The referendum will fail. Even if it were to pass, there are a number of other hurdles that make it virtually impossible. It's not going to happen. Electing a conservative government there will improve things -- the youth are leaning hard conservative, while boomers are stingily keeping their vote parked with the Liberals. Things are changing as recent polling (the reliable ones, not Ekos or Nanos) shows Carney is losing steam.

178 Buck uses the language of the Left by focusing intensely on race. Canada once had a sensible immigration system. Now it’s just “let anyone in” which is dumb as fuck. Focusing intensely and passionately on race like a Leftist obscures this.

Good to see Buck just discovered the AB independence movement, which has been going on for some time now. He’ll give us the results of the AB referendum on, say, April 19…2028…like it is breaking news.

The Old Guitarist
Pablo Picasso

One of the assumptions I make when searching for sources of the art I want to post is that the museum that possesses the work has the most interest in using an accurate version of the piece on the internet.

There are plenty of brighter and and more brightly colored versions of this Picasso all over the web, so if you like art that looks like a neon sign...have at it!

But The Art Institute of Chicago has this version, and I am going to trust them, even though they are probably filthy blue-city commies!

65 Wiki: "In the latter part of 1901, Picasso sank into a severe depression and blue tones began to dominate his paintings. Picasso's painting La mort de Casagemas, completed early in the year following his friend's suicide, was done in hot, bright hues. The painting considered the first of his Blue Period, Casagemas in His Coffin, was completed later in 1901 when Picasso was sinking into a major depression."

Apparently his Blue Period lasted until 1904, when he began his Rose Period.

103 Anxiously awaiting a piece of Art that should be delivered this morning. A restored 1950's era lamp in the form of Joan of Arc, a birthday gift for my wife. She is an art historian who converted to Catholicism in 2020, so I think she'll really like it. I've only seen a few pics of the lamp, don't even know how tall it is (looks like desktop size), but I am hoping it is suitably impressive. Tracking says it should be here in an hour or two. Fingers crossed.

106 Also from Wiki: "Furthermore, El Greco, Picasso's poor standard of living, and the suicide of a dear friend Carlos Casagemas influenced Picasso's style at the time which came to be known as his Blue Period. Several x-rays, infrared images and examinations by curators revealed three different figures hidden behind the old guitarist."

Easter Eggs, ca. 1903!

133 Congrats, CBD. You picked about the only Picasso painting I like. He captured the look of old age and what is familiar to the man, maybe the only thing that is important to him. The angles, this time, are not completely distorted, just suggestive. The overall blue tones are quiet, peaceful, perhaps accepting his situation. The simple areas of white and dark serve to bring out his thin, age-reduced physique.

I don't care for most of Picasso's paintings. He obviously has the talent to paint what he wants but I don't care for his topics or more abstract style.

136 If by "old" Picasso means "found dead in a ghetto gutter two weeks after the fact, stuffed into a garbage bag and buried in a shallow grave that turns out to be a pothole on the main thoroughfare, only to be removed by the road crew as they attempt to fix the roadway and discover his mangled corpse but don't have time to re-entomb him so they playfully prop him up against the wall with Miguel's guitar," then absolutely -- "Old Man" is an apt title.

137 If it's a fishnet leg lamp, that will be funny enough to qualify as a good gift, I guess. I'd laugh and then run out real quick to buy a new gift. I actually know the seller from my old neighborhood.

178 However, high fiscal deficits, a substantial interest burden, and high and rising government debt levels constrain the rating. Debt is more than double the 'AA' rating median. The government has not taken meaningful actions to address the large general government (GG) fiscal deficits (averaging 7% of GDP since 2022), and spending pressures will mount over the next decade due to an aging population.

Anyway, there was a couple there - she is Asian of some sort and they have a little girl about three or four , and another child on the way. At the end of the mass after the priest's blessing she said "Can we go NOW? Rather loudly. I told the parents they have very cute little girl.

——-

There was a guy, can’t remember his name but became semi-famous because he could free-hand very authentic looking dollar bills and higher denomination US currency. Boggs maybe was his name.

He wouldn’t try to pass them off as legal tender, just order a meal and then hand them one and say, “hey isn’t this really cool?” and it oftentimes worked. The Secret Service, then under the US Treasury was in charge of going after counterfeiters and they determined he wasn’t doing anything illegal. He termed them “art” or whatever.

184 Brother in law is on day two of recovering from his surgery. FINALLY woke up and is out of the woods. Dear Wife remains with him as he is not handling his hospital stay well. They had to catharize him (not related to his surgery) as his bladder is not working properly. When she called this morning she had a bunch of pene questions regarding the catheter.

I told her "Hell, I don't know. You've seen a lot more of them than I have."


Now she isn't talking to me.

It's a reprise of the old Popular Front ("no enemies to the left!). In this case, it's not Marxism but overthrowing the old order that brings them together. Iran showed us how that works out in practice, but leftists are eternally ignorant.

True enough, but both ideologies are in service to Satan (whether they acknowledge it or not). Some of Marx's writings admit to demonic influences, and Mo wasn't taking dictation from the Archangel Gabriel (I find it very revealing that Mo's version of Heaven was very carnal, while Jesus Christ taught that even married couples would be celibate in Heaven).

But ... Satan always eventually breaks his tools.

There was a "burning of the books" a couple of century after "Mohammed" and the Caliphs kept the book under tight control. Even today I think all Korans use the same version commissioned in 1922 or thereabouts. When they find older versions, they hide them.

I've read your previous posts, and agree with you: China can't successfully mount an amphibious invasion. Besides a lack of a warrior culture, their engineering is correctly-assessed to be inferior. Big copiers of stolen technology, they lack the ability to execute it well. I remember reading an article years ago in which the Chinese were bragging that they had finally been able to domestically manufacture the micro-perforated balls necessary to make ballpoint pens.

Plus our punitive expedition against Iran has revealed that the vaunted Chinese HQ-9 SAM is garbage. We knocked-out all three SAM batteries in about an hour with zero launches.

I'm working on a draft that discusses their equipment and that will feature prominently.

Taiwan is the true China, the China of meticulous craftsmanship and quality work. The China of artists and beauty. I have a Mauser Kar98k that was made in China in 1945. Lots of people don't know that the Nationalists got training and equipment from Germany in 1935, including tooling for the Kar98k. These are fully parts compatible with the German-made ones, and in fact mine (which must have gone through a lot before coming here as a trophy) has a German stock and bolt. It was captured by the Communists, who struck out Chiang Kai-shek's name and stamped militia marks on the stock.

It was probably sent as aid to Vietnam and captured there. I found a book documenting Vietnam trophy weapons and our boys picked up a lot of crazy stuff.

You're just mad that "Left" is actually synonymous with "Communist." The old-school Democrat politicians were perfectly content to hide their Collectivist-bent while enriching themselves. The Democrat Socialists of America loons are just claiming the Communism out loud.

Psaki was (and is) a paid liar. She sees everything from the perspective that there will be "Heaven-on-Earth (tm)" if people she liked controlled every aspect of our lives. She's yet another huckster promising free stuff paid for by other people. Just another person conflating charity for collectivism.

296 The thing about "Democratic Socialism", is that I believe it was Marx himself that claimed that socialism was democratic.

And if you didn't have socialism, you couldn't be as "democratic".

So it's not like "democracy" hasn't been tied to "socialism" by some major figure of Marxism, itself.

And I've heard some of the socialists in Washington, and have heard that respond in sync with that relationship, before.

So, if socialism makes "democracy", what the heck is different about "socialism with democracy"?

Atheists certainly tend toward that extreme.

Muzzies though also fit the description intentionally because the whole basis for the religion is 'submit' and then sotto voce, or 'die'.

And they endlessly recite their Koran without thinking as many of them don't actually understand Arabic and those that do, thinking is dangerous as the entire religion condones killing heretics and those that lose the faith. And when that document is examined, it is found to be full of holes, contradictory, and lies. As if the purpose was to create a political and military movement to supplant the existing Christians in the Middle East and displace them as king of the hill.

What's interesting is that today's Communists are not of the Marxist-Leninist wing but the Anarchist one. That's part of why I keep getting Spanish Civil War vibes these days.

Also worth recalling that there were three Anarchist rebellions in the runup to the actual war, followed by a major insurrection in Asturias that required the Foreign Legion to suppress.

Islam started as a Christian heresy, and it was later retconned into a faith to support the new Arab empire. The gaps and contradictions are where Christian teachings were inconvenient and papered over because of pressing dynastic needs.

The DSA loons want to empty prisons of the "criminal criminals" (to coin a term) to make room for the "thought criminals." Psaki, I'm pretty certain, had no problem with people involved in the January 6th "Insurrection (tm)" being tossed in prison for the crimes of walking on the grass, not even walking through doors that had been opened for them.

The old school Democrats have been fostering these DSA monster babies for decades. The DSA is merely the culmination of years of Communist indoctrination.

SpaceX option package for new Tesla Roadster will include ~10 small rocket thrusters arranged seamlessly around car. These rocket engines dramatically improve acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering. Maybe they will even allow a Tesla to fly …

They are scared shitless of losing power. They are using the DSA to vault the dead Democrat Party back ahead post-Trump. It's so obvious but I understand why some don't see it. Or say they don't see it.

When Democrats are scared shitless, they use the media and legal means and threats and cheating and violence to raze and destroy. This is the dog that isn't barking. They aren't scared of shit. They are ideologues who do what the party tells them to do.

The GOP is slowly but systematically being purged of the old Establishment hacks. It's Trump's party now, and you either adapt or you will get flushed out. This is particularly true at the local and state level, and those people will go on to run for governor and congress in the coming years.

The Dems have a serious problem with succession because the old guard never retired, and is impossible to remove, so they are dying off leaving much younger and more radical successors who have never had power and the discipline it brings. That's why their Gen X politicians are all perverts and Nazis, because the mainstream was locked down by the Pelosi/Schumer generation.

325 The DSA loons want to empty prisons of the "criminal criminals" (to coin a term) to make room for the "thought criminals." Psaki, I'm pretty certain, had no problem with people involved in the January 6th "Insurrection (tm)" being tossed in prison for the crimes of walking on the grass, not even walking through doors that had been opened for them.

The old school Democrats have been fostering these DSA monster babies for decades. The DSA is merely the culmination of years of Communist indoctrination.

Gramsci is who the current Marxists follow and it was he, in Italian prison, that formulated the ideas that the left, in order to have a successful revolution in an industrial society, had to at first destroy the existing society. Marxism after WWI had a problem in that the predicted revolutions by Marx were failing or non existent in industrialized societies and were only finding ground in more primitive ones like Russia, China, etc.

Gramsci is the one that provided the framework for the Frankfurt School to demoralize and destroy Western society by harping on its faults and claiming its successes were in fact evil.

326 Historically, the distinction was between democratic socialism, which was Fabian and had pretense to observe norms, and scientific socialism which was revolutionary and had pretense to having discovered the inexorable process of history. Because today's democratic socialists all operate on the Marxists assumption of the oppressor-oppressed paradigm, I don't think that is the division holds any more. Today's democratic socialists are feminized Marxist revolutionary socialists. That is incoherent, but so are they.

What did Trump say when he came on the scene.

He wants to ban muslims. He wants to punish women and doctors for abortions. Then he "softened".

But he was one guy. You are seeing the same thing being done now, but from the other side of the fence. The extreme views are getting air time and now just significantly leftarded things suddenly seem "moderate". And they get to play both sides of it which keeps them impossible to pin down. This is a controlled demolition of the Democrat Party.

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

328 I believe it was Marx himself that claimed that socialism was democratic.

Dunno about that, but "power to the soviets" is a fair translation of the original "democracy". "Demos" before vulgarized into "people" meant something like a village collective I think.

This is exactly what they did in Spain. When the Popular Front gained power in 1936, they emptied the jails, unleashing an orgy of violence and that was what ultimately pushed the generals into mounting a coup.

The problem the Dems have is that they are likely going to be locked out of power due to more honest elections. Our elections have been broken for about a decade, but Trump is cleaning it up, and the courts are belatedly recognizing the mortal danger of continuing to turn a blind eye to the problem.

That's why I see armed rebellions, and Trump is slowly building the case for going after the leadership.

I want to add that all the stuff we are seeing about El-Sayed and all the other candidates was held back for a reason. It is very old news, but kudos to the Michigan GOP for keeping it under lock and key until after the primaries.

The question for all of us is whether we will get backsliding when Trump is gone in 2028. The problem is that the GOP donor class WANTS cheap labor and new consumers from immigration. And they want to be able to send work abroad to fatten profits to slowly strangle and impoverish American workers. So you keep seeing candidates push amnesty like Mike Lindell or talk frankly off mike to those donors like the current governor of Idaho talking to Ag employers. Those people, including many small businessmen, view cheap labor as their right and that is because it fattens their pocketbooks. And those in big corporations want a borderless world--food stamps for all plumps Walmart, endless Medicaid, plumps Big Medicine and Pharma, and sending work abroad and H1Bs lessen labor costs so that top executives get fatter salaries.

345 CBD, I've seen the original many times, and the AIC image shown here is a faithful reproduction of the original.

If you look at the painting carefully, you'll see the ghost of another painting underneath it. Picasso was dirt-poor in his blue-period years, and it was common for him to reuse his canvases by just painting over them.

As for Canada and Alberta, I lived in Canada for five years, and my impression is that Alberta will make noises about going independent, but what Albertans really want is a better deal from Ottawa - something akin to the special treatment that Quebec gets now - to give them more control over their natural resources. I would be stunned if it led to a full-blown independence movement, let alone petitioning to join the United States: the ties to Confederation are simply too strong, and the barriers to independence too high.

The Morning Report — 8/ 14 /26

CurtisSwirly.jpg

Good morning kids. Well let's dive right in shall we. Riffing off of my puzzlement as CBD and I pondered, or mostly yammered on about on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here as well as in the sidebar and the popular platforms listed at the bottom of this post )

What does the loss, or more likely the theft by the Democrat Party of Francesca Hong in the Wisconsin last Tuesday's Wisconsin gubernatorial primary really indicate both there and really nationally?

What I can't figure out is, are the frightening polls including by our wonderful friends at the Heartland Institute
really reflective of a national trend towards socialism, but if so then why is the Democrat Party establishment so desperate to put a muzzle on freaks like EL Sayed, Talarico and of course Hong and all the rest.

And so with that as a set-up, there's this piece...

Are there Republicans who’ve doctored their resumes? Sure. But faking your past, or your views, or the sound of your voice seems to be a job requirement for Democrat politicians these days.

The Talarico campaign distanced itself from these folks after their cover was blown. But everything about Talarico is as fake, from his Christianity to his barbecue photo op.

Around the same time, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, last seen trying out a fake southern accent at an event in Memphis, was trying to pretend that she’s not a crazy leftist despite being a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, which wants to defund the military, close prisons, open the borders, eliminate the Senate, the presidency and the Supreme Court, and nationalize various industries.

When ABC News’ Jonathan Karl asked about her past statements, she laughed that “woke 1 was crazy,” and blamed COVID because “I think that, you know, during lockdown, of course, rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric that we would use today.” . . .Our best guess is that Democrats are more likely than Republicans to do this because for most Democrats, their only interest is getting and keeping government power. They love government and want to control its every lever. And if that means pretending to be a normie for the rube voters, so be it.

But, shucks, whadda we know? We’re just a buncha gosh-darn banjo-pickin’ hillbillies from yonder flyover country.

Sure the Democrats either outright lie about their true intentions or else do their best to cover them up. To me it's another puzzler, do the Democrats really think they can bamboozle a significant portion of normal America into voting for them? But lest we forget, anyone with eyes to see and more than two functioning brain cells could plainly see the dangerous fraud that was Barack Obama and yet there he was in 2008 and then again in 2012 winning the presidency and the fuse was lit. As CBD noted on the podcast, horrid as the purple-lipped closet-queen America-hating thug was and still is, he was slick and polished enough to really fake it all the way. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens both this coming November and then two years after that to see if Trump and the MAGA movement are just speed bumps on our inevitable road to hell or if they are please God a real course correction back to American restoration.


Until then we'll be enduring this depravity.

The National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., was vandalized Thursday with red graffiti reading “Clean Hands Dirty $,” while soap dumped into its fountain filled the memorial with bubbles.

Authorities blocked off the fountain Thursday afternoon as U.S. Park Police investigated the vandalism. The Interior Department called the incident an “utter disgrace” and vowed to find whoever is responsible.

“The World War II Memorial is a sacred place to honor the service of our members of the Armed Forces and the over 400,000 Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice in WWII,” the department said. “The vandalism that occurred is an utter disgrace and will not be tolerated.”

Were I a betting man, I'd lay odds that the piece(s) of shit that did this are registered Democrats or full on DSA freakazoids. He/She/It deserves being bull-whipped on live television preferably by any WW2 veterans of which I'm sure there'd be volunteers out the wahzoo.

And then, speaking of fakers and takers, there's this horrendous outburst for which there is no rational excuse.

Curtis Sliwa on Thursday told relatives of 9/11 victims who want New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani kept away from this year’s Ground Zero commemoration to “stop being sore losers,” arguing that they should respect the office even if they disagree with the person holding it.

“He’s the mayor. Stop being sore losers!” Sliwa told reporters Thursday. “You knew this is Zohran Mamdani. He was never a fake, phony, fraudulent, fugazi like a lot of politicians. He told you who he was.”

Yes, asshole, he told us who he was and what he said and what he is utterly underscores justification of his being barred from within 10,000 light years of Ground Zero Forever.

Curtis Sliwa's logic would allow for a furlough from prison and a limousine ride to the 9/11 ceremony for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Sliwa should only die, be cremated and his ashes dumped in the Marianas Trench next to Bin Laden. Seems appropriate.

I lost an old schoolmate and was nearly a victim myself that day, you Scumbag.

On these and all the rest of it, I nevertheless bid you all to have a great weekend!

48 It's not a *trend* toward anything. It's just Millennials. Their preference is for the furthest Left candidates and policies they can get. They are fanatics. They are already as far Left as it's possible to be, and are *dragging* the country behind them.

When Obama's brand of Leftism was the most potent brew on offer, they chose that. Now their own cohort is growing into power as the boomers and silents die off, so it's getting more and more potent.

Soon, a huge number of those older people will die off, leaving only the small cohort of Xers, who will not have the numbers to matter in context of the much larger Millennial generation.

Everything goes full tilt at that point, because Millennials will be able to completely actualize their politics and give us the full Mangione. That's when the DSA types drop the "D" pretense altogether, and say "we're the vanguard of the woke folk, all hail the Party and its Maximum Thought Leader, Oliver Logan al-Amriki."

50 Polls really aren't worth talking about anymore. Technology has erased the possibility of a random sample. Now all statisticians can do is make a math model.
All models are wrong. Some models are useful.
This technology change has come upon us so suddenly our attitudes haven't adjusted. Polls were the go-to indicator for decades and decades.
In fact, you couldn't get your name on a ballot without achieving some threshold in a poll somewhere.
The world has changed. Polls are now irrelevant.

54 New data shared with Senate GOP members suggest that healthcare, not voter integrity, is the big winner for Republicans.

"New Data"—No sources of this "New Data"™ are cited, which means it was pulled out of some politician's ass who is trying to flee the 90% demand for the SAVE America Act.

"Healthcare" is always an issue, if the issue is: How can we steal even more money and obtain more power in Babylon DC

Why? Because no one on planet earth can define "healthcare". Its one of the most eisegeted words used today (along with "Racism")

The other clue: "too much money is going through the insurance companies"
Translation: Babylon DC demands a bigger cut.

So instead of SAVE America Act, we are supposed to embrace even more government takeover of one-sixth the total economy.

The issues with the Reflecting Pool were, IMO, both poor quality work and vandalization.

Based on their commentary on social media, it seems to be more along the traditional lines of "I made bad decisions. I don't have everything I want and other people have more so the government should take from them."

Of course, they imagine that the government will give their socialist baby some of the loot but that's just because they're stupid, as well as greedy.

I believe that this is yet another sign that, even when the numbers come from people who are our allies, polling is now worthless except as a propaganda tool (which is it keeps being done)
The problem is not just bias of the pollster; the problem is that the entire mathematical underpinnings of polling is no better than phrenology or divining chicken entrails. It’s like expecting pinpoint accuracy to come from reading a horoscope.

“58% of likely voters aged 18-39 support government-run grocery stores in every town in America.” 58% of those 18-39 want stuff that is cheap or free and haven’t thought about it any more deeply than that.

“62% of likely voters aged 18-39 said they would support more government housing and nationwide rent freeze.” Ditto.

“44% think their economic future and personal happiness will be worse than their parents, only 22% believe it will be better.”

44% have seen the way things have gone the last 20 years and drawn a rational conclusion. It’s the job of any who wish to lead to convince them that this trend can be reversed. Very few republicans “get” this simple fact.

127 It might not sit well with some, but Mamdani's appearance at the 9-11 memorial might be just the image some need to see. Especially if he runs his mouth.

Why?

Because some of the people who put him in office might be there. Because if he does run his mouth you know what he'll likely say. And if it's anywhere as awful as some think, the media will have to defend it. Or not.

Some people just don't get it until it hits them in the face. If Mamdani's appearance at a 9-11 memorial opens some eyes....

129 Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX), whose 26th District saw a 217 percent rise in filings, remarked that the H-1B program is “an abomination that is suppressing American wages, taking American jobs, and culturally erasing American communities. It should be abolished.”

--

Big business (and their lobbyists that work Congress over to get the desired result) couldn't care less about America. As long as they can make money by paying less in wages, that's where their loyalty lies. It's disgusting.

In reading Ron Chernow's Washington, during the Revolutionary War, Washington would be apoplectic at the big farmers and others selling their wares to the British, not because they were Loyalists, but to make a boatload of money. Who cares if the Continental Army had no provisions and barely any money to survive and just might lose the war because of it. All they cared about was the money they could make, even to the detriment of the patriots. Some things never change.

139 I don’t think polls move public opinion the way they used to, but they have long been used for that. It’s a pseudo-justification for doing things nobody wants, or not doing things everyone wants. People are herd animals, and don’t wish to be thought of as an outlier. Bogus polls are used as fodder for propaganda, part of the rhetoric. “Polls show 85% of Americans are in favor of blah blah blah, what’s wrong with you?” You must be some sort of monster, you see. It’s been very effective for a long time. “Well, everyone must want this…” Rinse, lather, repeat. You get people to stand down, and disengage.

--------

I've tried my best to explain my perspective from the start...

It's WWF style infighting. The DNC gets to push hard toward socialism without having to completely own it. Maybe in case the push goes tits up, but I think more because they have their candidate picked and it will be a "bridge" candidate that will satisfy the establishment, the normies (by seeming safe), and the DSA who will get some big wins along the way.

Like maybe the DSA get to knock Kamala or Newsom out in some showy WAY. They feel they are making their mark. This is how I expect it to go.

Always remember the Left plans 3 to 5 years in advance. They have the media, intelligence agencies, and half or more of the opposing party. This "popular" move toward socialism is a yuge psy op, not unlike covid, blm, metoo. It's designed to fool even people like us.

Exactly this. It’s a psy-op. There’s an interesting perversion of this technique used in business and academia. Originally it was developed by the Rand Corporation as a method of refining expert opinion.

It’s called the “Delphi Technique” for dealing with contentious issues in group settings. Local governments use it a lot, and you’ll see it at fake “Town Halls” sometimes. Generally anytime they start talking about neutral “Facilitators” being brought in, or breaking down everyone into smaller groups.

187 It looks to me like they are trying to harness the energy of the insane DSA and move the country as far left as possible as quickly as possible while dispensing in some fashion with the "old" Democrat Party. The one Trump beat for years like a rented mule.

One day in the next year or so we are going to wake up in a new world, and not even know what happened. Republicans will be the old tired eatablishment. Democrats will be the "working" (har) man. All the cultural and psychological seeds are being sown for it.

I keep saying (though I wouldn't bet) I think we are headed toward a male nominee for the Demorats. Women seem to be being beaten back hard, suffering a lot of cultural blows at once, that all seem disparate. Could just be "zeitgeist" driving those things but I don't think so.

Tea leaves have been read. Trump's drive toward masculine leadership, mostly the day he got shot, put paid to their First Woman bs. This is now convenient for the Left who are at present kissing up to their new friends in Islam. The Left will always push - and they will step on anyone to do it. And they will lie, so women won't even know it's being done to them.

197 It’s pretty easy. If Republican voters show up in November, they will win.

If they don’t, we lose.

There is only one way to beat their fraud machine, and Trump exposed it. Show up in large enough numbers that a win for the other side is statistically impossible. It’s math.

There is also a dearth of responses to people who have legitimate concerns. You cannot win only talking about how bad the other guy is. Even of that is the honest truth. People don’t seem to understand just how bad things will be under Democrat rule. It wasn’t that long ago they were in charge. We are still trying to drag ourselves out of the malaise they created. Going back will only make things worse.

We’ve become terrible at making cogent, understandable arguments to people about the policies we have. X and tv sound bites are no replacement for speaking with people directly.

217 I saw this elsewhere and thought it worth posting here. This is the flipside of the revelation that the SPLC was secretly funding purported Right Wing Hate Groups.

Examples of government action are the purported kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer. False flag ops.

"In April 2009, Obama's Department of Homeland Security assessment warned of a rise in right-wing extremism fueled by the election of the first Black president. An internal intelligence memo titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" was distributed to law enforcement. The memo suggested that disgruntled returning military veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan would be recruited by right wing extremists to become political assassins.
It was, of course, all a lie. There were no violent right wing extremists. The SPLC had to create their own by funding nut jobs to do their dirty work and blame it on Republicans.
Racial hatred is the only lasting impact of the Obama administration."

We were perfectly and completely indoctrinated in a way that wasn't possible before or since. We're the best they can ever do, vis-a-vis the New Soviet Man.

For the next several decades, we're the majority.

Far-left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has campaigned heavily on his credentials as a doctor and public-health official, is under fire over his time leading the Detroit Health Department, during which the city’s animal-control operation euthanized more than 4,000 dogs and cats.

According to records obtained by the Daily Mail, nearly 4,680 dogs and cats were put down by Detroit Animal Care and Control between 2015 and 2017 while El-Sayed served as executive director and health officer.

In 2015 alone, the facility killed 1,988 dogs and 272 cats, accounting for more than a quarter of all dogs euthanized in the county that year.

267 My working guess - and it is ONLY a guess because usually Democrats go much further and surprise me - plus it's hard to predict things anyway.

R's hold both, Jingleheimer Sayed "wins", and the "story" becomes how the DSA is "changing" things, the youth are now rock solid commies, everyone is unhappy, and it can no longer be ignored.

The failure of the D establishment to retake the houses can fuel the next two years of misery and the next phase of the story. Trump will have something to say about all of this but he will hide his time.

273 179 Polls are commissioned by people with an agenda... a narrative they'd like to push. The responders are likely targeted to elicit a preferred response. Polls are designed to influence how we feel, look at or interpret a candidate or topic. We are the targets people want to influence. Influence can distort reality.

Don't be a target.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at August 14, 2026 08:40 AM (2Cry5)


Every politician, political party, corporation, etc., that wants to get a fairly accurate targeted audience perception of candidates, products, corporate reputation, etc, commissions and purchases private polls. Or has it's own internal polling operation. Both types run by personnel with proven track-records of utility and accuracy of results. Hillary's 2016 private polling was famously inaccurate. That's why we've never since heard of her now-infamous campaign manager, Robby Mook.

Publicly-released poll results by 'pros' are worth what the public pays for them. Nothing.

Remember that one time years ago you got drunk, and the hangover lasted for a week. The one where you promised yourself you would never drink again? That.

I don’t believe people understand just how much damage Democrats did to the economy. They flooded the country with money that wasn’t productive and used Covid as their excuse. It turned every economic incentive upside down and beat the productive sector with a lead pipe.

Think about the macro cycle associated with that paradigm. You steal money from taxpayers at confiscatory rates. You hand it out to people who don’t produce anything. Almost zero economic payback. Worse, it becomes inflationary as the people you hand it out to spend that largess on everything and distort the market. Add to that millions of illegal immigrants who produce almost zero economic activity getting huge taxpayer funded handouts. That undermines all our social welfare programs and makes them fiscally unsound. They also distorted (read inflated) the cost of everything from housing and food to medical care. There isn’t even enough room for me to continue, but you get the point. Two years ain’t enough.

We watched the 1944 The Canterville Ghost with Charles Laughton and Robert Young last night. Fun stuff. Until I looked on IMDb, I had no idea the basic story had been remade so many times for films and TV, live action and animation.

C.S. Lewis: favorable conditions NEVER come

There are always plenty of rivals to our work. We are always falling in love or quarreling, looking for jobs or fearing to lose them, getting ill and recovering, following public affairs. If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work.

The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.

Flock segment of the night


Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley Posted This garbage on X today

I've learned a lot in nine years of building
@Flock_Safety
. Some of it from our customers, and some of it from the communities they serve.

Today we’re announcing the changes that came from listening. A new standard for privacy, security, and accountability in public safety technology.

We're also asking state legislators to go further. Mandate real auditing on every law enforcement data system. Raise the penalties for misuse. And if your state wants help building it, we'll do it for free.

The post itself is heavily ratioed (more comments than likes). Comments are not friendly to him. There is a link at the post to a longer post on Flock's website - should that be something that interests you.

PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data comprising 70 years of TV history after contracted cloud storage vendor goes defunct

Nine PBS is afraid that it will lose over 70 years of archival materials and programming after its contracted cloud storage vendor has apparently gone out of business. According to Current, the channel used Open Source Storage, or OSS, for storing over 50TB of data — but it suddenly lost access to its data earlier this year. Nine PBS has been working with OSS and its predecessor since 2019 and intended to renew its contract on March 6 of this year. The company never responded and abruptly cut off the station’s data access even though it still had 30 days to retrieve its data after the contract ended.

The station dug a little bit deeper when it discovered that the OSS website no longer existed and was listed as delinquent under the Colorado Secretary of State. It also discovered that OSS utilized Iron Mountain’s services, so it sent a demand letter to the latter to preserve its data and to "pay any reasonable costs associated with its demand." At the time, Iron Mountain did not confirm or deny that it possessed Nine PBS’ data.


This wouldn't have been an issue if the organization bought a $1,000 NAS and populated it with a few hard drives.

DJ Doof - R.I.P. To My Local Classic Rock Radio Station Edition


100.7 "The Bay" - Classic Rock radio station in Baltimore went off the air last night, just before Midnight. The station was sold and the frequency is now a Christian Contemporary music station.

The folks at The Bay posted their playlist from their final hour on the air. Seems like they had fun taking a poke at the new format.

HPoNk8LW0AAIb0P-rr.jpg
From The Bay's Facebook page

If you're interested, here are the final 2 hours of The Bay over the air broadcast. The segment starts with the 10pm "Get the Led out" block of Led Zeppelin songs -- something they've done for as long as I can remember. Although I think they used to call it "Zeppelin O'clock".

These are the last 3 songs they played. Put on an O's hat and pour out some Natty Boh in honor of The Bay, Hon!

Not exactly growing up. By the time they brought out the PC in 1981, I had already been computing on my Radio Shack Model I for three years. It was the FUTURE!

I skipped the PC and didn't upgrade until the PC-AT. Did get the Shack Model 100 "laptop" in the meanwhile, and logged into CompuServe, pre-wwweb.

I knew every chip in that Model I and even messed with some of them in ways I never could later.

A buddy and I bought the Borland C and split the cost ($500). My middle son was writing software at the his age of 16.

He got his MS in Comp Sci 15 years ago and is now ridiculously wealthy.

In hindsight, it was cheaper than putting him through college, although I did pony up the $5,000 that he owed the Univ. of Toronto so he could graduate.

I think of it as a great investment in my son's future.

Which, unfortunately, means something very different than it did in the 90s. Back then we had Phil Keagy, Brian Duncan, Petra, and so on.

I like Phil Keaggy, because he was a virtuoso guitar player who used his talent for Christ. Sadly, a lot of "christian" musicians these days want to use the genre to jump into mainstream pop. They can't write, they can barely sing, and none of it is worshiping God, it seems to worship the singer. Hubby calls it worshiptainment. It's not a compliment.

144 Well, we had contractors out to look at our "final" house projects - i.e., the kitchen and front entry/upper room. It has been 40 years since we moved into this house, and up until now we have done all of the remodeling work on every room ourselves. But we always knew that these 2 projects were going to be left to professionals (for various reasons).

We are pretty happy with these guys; they know the quirks of 100-year-old houses and are familiar with the neighborhood. It will be interesting to see what they come up with design-wise.

Looks like my "Bucket List Year #3 - The Third Year Is The Charm" money will be spent on these 2 things. Hopefully I will see the finished projects! So far, my numbers are looking good - 😊💕

159 We had a giant computer in the house as newlyweds because my dude is an early nerd (a handsome one). We spawned two more handsome nerds.

I have yet to see a flock camera. I guess either busy driving or spaced out, but am going to look and wave.

My 95yr old mother, in the boonies, called about some excitement down the road (which I find fit for Morons).

Apparently there was an ambulance, fire truck, sheriff and hwy patrol car at a farm. I still haven't figured out the hwy patrol, but whatever.

A woman walked 3 miles or more to get in a neighbor's pen of baby goats and frolic. When the owners told her to get off their property she claimed dehydration and walked into a large pond up to her head. At this point 911 was called.

When the deputies got her name they called her husband who refused to come pick her up.

Therefore the ambulance took her away.

160 Constipation is something people don't talk about much.

But it can be a problem for anyone, even doctors.

And when Constipation occurs, it's interesting to see just what doctors consider important about a laxative they might use or recommend.

Well, a majority of the doctors we heard from had this to say.

A laxative should be effective, gentle, as close to natural acting as possible, and a medicine that can be used with complete confidence.

Now, Ex-lax has been popular with many doctors and millions of people over the years because pleasant-tasting chocolatey Ex-lax is effective.

Overnight it helps you toward your normal regularity.

Ex-lax is gentle.

Next morning it gives you the closest thing to natural action.

And that's why many doctors and millions of people use Ex-lax with complete confidence.

Ex-lax, the laxative that helps you toward your normal regularity, gently, overnight.

There is something about a dish pan full of nice warm soap suds that makes a woman feel that her dishes will come out really clean.

Every tiny granule dissolves completely in your dishwater, whips up to billowy clouds of suds and White King suds rinse away quickly and completely too when you douse your dishes with hot water.

Leave china, glassware and silver so extra bright they dry in a jiffy.

White King soap is extra kind to hands too.

It is so easy on lovely hands that thousands and thousands of ladies who use it say I love White King.

He had the light pen, and a program that displayed options for crust, size, ingredients of a pizza. The computer would dial the pizza place. The artificial larynx (Speak & Spell, Stephen Hawking) would place the order. Pretty slick.

I should add, he modified the kit so instead of sixteen lines of 64 characters each in b&w, his had a full 16-color CGA of twenty-four lines of 80 chr each (wasn't it?). It displayed a bit oddly, filling in the 16*64 first and then painting the rest of the screen, but it worked.

Leaving the laptop at home. Probably won't be commenting much this weekend. Don't y'all start a riot without me.

241 We have constant monitoring because the alternative would be dealing permanently with the 1% that cause most of the crime in America.

If we went back to executions and long prison terms like we had in the 50s we'd have the crime rates of the 50s.

But the government isn't interested in that. So instead they offer endless monitoring that only ever results in them telling us "we were monitoring that killer before he killed. And its a good thing we were monitoring him because otherwise, uh, well, he would have killed people without us monitoring him first!"

245 In high school in the mid 70s we used a teletype to use the local colleges DEC computer to program in Dartmouth BASIC. We guessed a rival high school’s password (they used the acronym for the name of their school district) and pranked them. I put FORTRAN programs up and compiled them. They worked, but were removed by college administrators. We were supposed to use BASIC. In college I got a Heathkit H8 computer and used it throughout college, even wrote my dissertation on it in a cobbled together word processor I made that even printed my dissertation with equations: subscript, superscript, Greek characters, you name it. Used a daisy wheel printer, professional looking output. When I got to my post doc with the Navy (wound up with NRL) everyone got a System 7 Mac to write papers with. I still used my H8 at home. Remember finally finishing Adventure: Colossal Cave one night on the H8 early in my career with my university where I had been hired after my postdoc. Still have the H8, haven’t fired it up in years. That’s a 1978 motherboard!

2) One of the mods (presumably) started removing my popup ad posts. I don't go to the trouble of typing just to have my posts disappeared. Again, I thought the popup ads were so off-the-wall that they were funny.

281 High comedy at the Peon Shop today. Found a mouse nest, made of shredded Kleenex, in one drawer of the big black roller cabinet. Cleaned it out with the shop vac. Opened the wrench drawer. There was the mouse! I grabbed can of brake cleaner and soaked it down, thinking the alcohol/pentane might knock it out. It seemed stunned, but still mobile. Grabbed a barbecue lighter, and flicked it. Whole drawer bursts into flame, mouse included. Mouse scramble to back of drawer, over the wall, and is lost in the bowels of the toolbox. I close wrench drawer, hoping to smother the fire. It does not go out, just shrinks to a flickering blue flame. Grabbed the stinger for the MIG welder, opened the tank valve, and wafted CO2 gas over the flames, and finally extinguished them. Damage limited to a melted spot in the foam drawer liner. Mouse did not appear in any of the other drawers; probably dead underneath the bottom drawers. I put out some poison bait bars, anyway.

I don't think Sparky got out of the roller cabinet. It's steel, and has a bottom in it. I checked all the other drawers, numerous times, and no mouse to be found. I expect there is a dead mouse behind or below the bottom drawers.

305 Whittier has to be the weirdest community in southcentral AK. It's really no damned where, hard to get to, through a long tunnel, and only when the train isn't using that tunnel. It has no less than three high rise buildings, but fewer people than most tiny towns. No grocery store, but a ferry terminal that gets used about twice a year, lots of fishermen in season, but just about nobody there in the winter. Just... odd. Particularly for Alaska.

306 We had Goat Man Road where I grew up. It was where all the teens went to make out. Got my first kiss there.

Funny story - the guy that I was dating at the time had never kissed a girl, either. So we kinda looked at each other. He asked if I knew what to do. I said no. He said he didn't, either.

So he said he would ask his older brother how to go about it, and we agreed to go out again the next week and try it out. Which we did. Over and over. Fun times.

We were good kids, though - both of us went to our respective spouses as virgins (I always figured that with my luck I would end up pregnant the first time I had unmarried sex, and I didn't want to have to tell the parental units that their innocent little girl wasn't quite so innocent 😂.

I very much recommend a terrier. Much easier to live with, and in our case, Louie was a dedicated mouser. And rabbit hunter. And gopher hunter. And occasionally a phantom-in-the-old-cornshucks hunter. He killed everything alive in the old farmhouse we bought and remodeled. And was cuddly at night.

The Buckner Building was built during the Cold War as a self-contained facility, so yeah, that was the idea. I think the Begich Towers work sorta that way, it's all condos although some of them are relet, so that people who fish out of Whittier have somewhere to shack up. No idea why else you would live there, unless you run the tunnel or the ferry terminal. But, when you drive in, you bring whatever you need, because there really is nowhere to buy groceries or necessities. There is a pretty good ice cream joint, but only during the summer. I have no idea who lives there year around. Not many.

Her sister, on the other hand, loved to play with the mousies before disposing of them. She even brought one up on our bed late one night so that we could join in the festivities.

This is the second time ever I was given a task to complete in a dream before a dead loved one showed up to shoot the shit with me. So weird.

In this case I was looking through documents in boxes. It's almost like the task comes along to keep me engaged and "in it". I have since researched and seen similar reports in what seem like "visit" dreams. I embraced her and then she had to go. I couldn't hold on but the dream world stayed which is very different from how lucid dreams go. Those vanish entirely. I was sad all day today, it was like losing her again.

I lost my BFF in first grade to a brain tumor. Linda Austin. She was amazing in every way. When she lost her hair, mom let me shave my head to be in solidarity with her.

She died when she was nearly 7 years old. Not a day goes by when I don't offer up a prayer for her. Sometimes I dream of her as well. I don't think I can quite summon up her face when awake, but I seem to know her immediately when I'm asleep.

It isn't weird. It is confirmation of love. Don't be sad. Be very, very happy at being blessed by a personal visit after the fact.

It wouldn't take a Flock camera to do that; an ordinary monitor camera could catch that act.

I'm sure they, or the police, combine that with cellphone geolocation data, and God knows what else. The potential for abuse is enormous, and numerous abuses are already on record.

360 Example:

"Leandra's Law"

Leandra, age 11, was unfortunately killed in a drunk driving incident. Horrible, no doubt about it.

The thing is, it was ALREADY illegal to drive drunk and ALREADY manslaughter to kill someone while driving drunk.

The drunk driver in this case pulled a 4-12 year sentence, BEFORE "Leandra's Law" was a thing. You could argue that should've been more, and I wouldn't dispute it.

The new "law" provides for a sentence of up to four years and a fine of $1000–$5000.

In other words, less than the perp got under the existing law.

But everyone got to grandstand for the cameras instead of doing actual useful work.

382 White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has announced that she will be leaving the Trump Administration at the end of August, in order to spend more time and energy on her two young children, the youngest of which was born on May 1. Leavitt said in a post earlier today,

“The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary.”

383 Sad another top terrestrial station is gone. May I suggest a station I founded 2 years ago. Blackstone Rocks Radio boasts the greatest playlists ever created. To LISTEN Just click https://live365.com/station/Blackstone-Rocks-a48100 Since 1964 I have deeply listened to 6 decades of heavy cuts by the legends of blues rock, psych and progressive, British 1st and 2nd Invasions, metal, alternative, cool Britannia, pub/punk rock and electric blues. Listen, Follow, Share. Or go to blackstonerocks.com In addition to legendary rockers, I also have in heavy rotation the greatest indie rock bands and guitar savants from around the world hell bent on taking it to the next level.

384 I think Trump prefers women in that role. If a man hit them as hard as Leavitt did it would have been considered brutal.

With Karoline, the men have to take it and the women don't want to get into a bitch fight with her. Some have tried, to their dismay.

387 Evening.
I often bitch about my neighbors on here. It reached a pinacle last Monday. Both parents arrested for felony neglect or abuse. I don't think there was physical abuse as I know the kids pretty well. The neglect part I can believe. The mom is shit. Antifa minded twat. The dad is somewhat okay but he keeps her stupid ass around so... I won't even go into the dude with blood all over his face telling me as I drove past I should stay away from them. Like I don't know that. Their kids on the otherhand I have known since 2 yo and birth. They are friends with my grandkids. They are also a bit slow. They also instigate a lot of shit. I keep them on a tight leash when they are here.
Gahhh. I don't even know what to think about this. Now I get to explain to my grands why their friends aren't coming over.
Need more beer.

Indeed. Guevara hates da gheys. He begged for his life at the very end.
" Guevara dropped his own fully functional rifle, with a near full magazine, and begged, 'Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot! I am Che Guevara and I am worth more to you alive than dead!' As his small guerilla force was being decimated below, in the very trap he had led them into, Guevara’s only concern was for himself as he continued to plead with the Bolivian Rangers not to kill him."

Abdul keeps getting better and better. The Dem establishment tried to br___ him down with commercials saying he disrespected women.

They should have used this...



Abdul must not like dogs.

Far-left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has campaigned heavily on his credentials as a doctor and public-health official, is under fire over his time leading the Detroit Health Department, during which the city’s animal-control operation euthanized more than 4,000 dogs and cats.

According to records obtained by the Daily Mail, nearly 4,680 dogs and cats were put down by Detroit Animal Care and Control between 2015 and 2017 while El-Sayed served as executive director and health officer.

In 2015 alone, the facility killed 1,988 dogs and 272 cats, accounting for more than a quarter of all dogs euthanized in the county that year.

107 Now that the NFA is effectively dead, does that really change the price of SBR’s or suppressors?"

I was surprised that ATF didn't ask for a stay but they still have another 50-something days to file an appeal so anything can still happen. That said, I'm not sure how many people who wanted one were still being put off post-OBBB. Some for sure, but tens of thousands? Millions? I dunno.

When OBBB passed, my prediction was that increased demand would lead to increased prices which would lead to increased production and/or new producers which would lead to decreased prices. That actually doesn't seemed to have happened. So will it happen now? Again, I dunno. It still seems reasonable to me but I'm a proven loser at predicting what other people will do.

2-3 dozen hummingbirds at once cease being cute and start being aggravating.

So the daughter and grandkids took the feeders. They think having tons of hummingbirds swarming about is awesome.

I debated a Candace Owens fan last night.

I kid you not he opened with this:

"We all know this case is fishy because we've all watched CSI and Dexter and know how a crime scene works."

And if you thought "they'll next accuse Tyler Robinson's lawyers of being part of the conspiracy to frame him because they admitted he killed Charlie Kirk," step up to the cashier to collect your winnings.

Huh: Scott Bessent says that George Soros, who he used to work for -- on the financial side, not the civilization-destroying foundation side -- tried to tank the markets after Trump's 2016 win, selling off everything to move the markets down. Bessent said he seized on that as a buying opportunity and made a fortune.


This behavior is normalized, indulged, and encouraged. We have been demoralized to the point where our weaklings and cowards, which is most of us, especially those politically-attuned enough to rise in woke bureaucracies, are too afraid to say "this is wrong and will be punished."

Oh no, Hollywood wash-out "Lily" Wachowski, who now pretends to be a woman, cries that he can't get funding for a movie with an all-trans cast:

I saw someone mocking a leftwing female director for being just absolute crap. Then he pointed out, "It's funny that the 'Wachowski sibilings' haven't made a good movie since they became 'women.'"

I think that's actually true. When was the last time they made a good movie? To be honest, I never really gave a shit about The Matrix and I don't understand why people are so ga-ga for it. But fine, I'll count that. What since? The sequels were trash.

Didn't they do that terrible Stallone/Banderas dueling assassins movie? That was horrible.

Then they did Jupiter Ascending, an infamous bomb. I've heard Cloud Atlas is decent but here's the thing -- I never believed that.

Gavin Newsom visited early-primary-state Michigan to talk up how similar California and Michigan are.

That's the whole problem, says Justine Bateman.

@JustineBateman

LOL. Your comparison between these two cities is very significant.

Detroit's main industry of automotive production was destroyed and left the town hollowed out. The same thing is happening with Los Angeles.

The entertainment business has been steadily drained from this place for at least a decade. LA will soon be hollowed out just like Detroit.

It is becoming just sprawling city with no central industry at all.

And how did this little ponce's visit go?

Not well. His tour of Michigan was marked by cancellations and pitiful crowds.

Calling it Newsom's "swing (and miss) state tour," Politico reported on Wednesday that his "buzzy X posts and vertical videos" from Michigan "this week suggest a slam dunk trip to an early nominating state."

But even though Newsom's social media feed racked up "a million views of a 65-hour tour," Politico noted that "the posts may also be the latest sign that social media is not real life."

Translation: It was a trip notable mostly for bad execution and embarrassing turnout.



Some Michigander politicos pointed out that Newsom canceled a fundraiser with state AG nominee Eli Savit that included the controversial host Kelly Neumann, according to an invite obtained by POLITICO and circulated to some Democrats who didn't realize the event was canceled when Newsom's team was made aware of Neumann's background.

Newsom initially planned two competing fundraisers in Ann Arbor on Sunday, one for Savit and one for the state House Democrats. When the latter found out about the Savit fundraiser they pulled out, citing a small Ann Arbor donor base.

Saying Ann Arbor has a small Democrat donor base is like saying you couldn't spot any tech bros in Palo Alto.

"He had a lot of good meetings," Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel told Politico, adding Newsom was a big hit at a local barbecue.

I believe this was the barbecue:

Michigan gaybros are you voting for Abdul El-Seyed?

I’m a white gay who’s been out for nearly 30 years, and met and befriended many Muslims, I’ve never felt an ounce of judgment. If anything a sense of camaraderie in that we’re both “othered” in US society.

I used to lived in San Francisco Castro (gay district) and some of the businesses are owned by Muslims in the area. They are the most friendliest people I know.

Yes, vote for him! Not only this guy has all the dreamy qualifications one can ask for, but he is also a vocal, progressive ally with a track record that is endorsed by LGBTQ organizations.

He's the quintessential American dream (boat). An Ivy League graduate, a Rhodes Scholar, plays lacrosse, and he's extremely well-spoken. An epidemiologist? It's time for dumb-dumbs to go bye-bye.

He and Mamdani are FIIIIINE.

I can’t believe some gay men are so islamophobic they’d rather a Republican win 🥲

Oh, Deadline had this....

As trans onscreen representation takes a hit in Hollywood, Lilly Wachowski is attempting to make a film with an all-transgender cast… if only the industry will let her.

The Matrix co-auteur recently explained that despite some excitement over the script, financiers “really don’t want to make” her dystopian political thriller The Hunted, which is co-written with partner Mickey Ray Mahoney and budgeted at $10 million, due to the film’s “wall-to-wall trans cast.”

“People like it, but they really don’t want to make it because it’s wall-to-wall trans cast,” said Wachowski on KCRW’s The Business podcast. “I have to get creative and figure out different ways that I can get this in front of people.”

The WNBA ‘felt like a lifeline’ for LGBTQ+ fans. Anti-trans attacks are testing that refuge.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham’s remarks opposing transgender athletes in women’s sports injected political debate into a league with no openly trans women players.

...Vázquez, who is Black and queer, saw themself reflected in both the WNBA and its fanbase as they attended more games in person. “It felt like a lifeline to queer community at a time when I felt really disconnected from it,” they said. “It was really important to me that I would see intergenerational queer communities, like queer families and older lesbians, and it just felt so special to me in a way that I hadn’t seen in other sports.”

Jen Barnes, founder and CEO of Rough & Tumble, one of the nation’s first women’s sports bars, said Freedom’s and White’s declarations for the draft were “absurd” and misogynistic.

Hultquist, who works for an international LGBTQ+ nonprofit in the Seattle area, said “A very small number of people — probably not actually even fans of the league — are trying to use this opportunity and this issue to divide fans and divide players,”

134 62 When was the last time they made a good movie? To be honest, I never really gave a shit about The Matrix and I don't understand why people are so ga-ga for it. But fine, I'll count that. What since? The sequels were trash.

I liked the first Matrix because the special effects were groundbreaking at the time. "Bullet time" was new in that film and made me wow. And I'm a sucker for power fantasy/chosen one plots.

But yeah. The sequels were mostly bad with a few bright spots, like Hugo Weaving's Agent Smith.

Fascinating characters just showed up and then vanished with no reason or explanation.

Peak Cultural Enrichment: Muslim-Dominated City Council of Hamtramck, Michigan, Votes to Permit Animal Sacrifice in People's Backyards, Over Objections of Non-Muslim Minority

Of course. Of course.

Hamtramck City Council votes to allow animal sacrifice for religious purposes in the city

After months of debate, the city council has voted to allow the practice of animal sacrifice, for religious purposes, in Hamtramck.

The decision ultimately came down to a more than 30-year-old U.S. Supreme Court ruling that says cities cannot infringe on religious freedom under the first amendment.

This is the media, so they're lying to you (of course). The case they're talking about is the Santaria animal sacrifice case.

The court did not find that people had a right to sacrifice animals. It found only that a law specifically passed to block a religious minority (Santaria) from sacrificing animals was a violation of the right to free exercise of religion.

In other words, it is perfectly legal to generally ban animal sacrifice, or the slaughter of animals outside of a slaughterhouse and apply that law to religious minorities. The Supreme Court only said you cannot ban something specifically to thwart the practice of a religion.

Presumably, slaughtering animals is already illegal in Michigan (except in licensed slaughterhouses) or else they wouldn't have had to pass an ordnance permitting it.

So they're lying to you, as usual, giving it the "what's the big deal, the Supreme Court decided this in 1993 already" treatment.

But it's a lie. And either these "expert journalists" can't be bothered to look up a major Supreme Court case, or did look it up, and chose to consciously lie to readers to convince them this is No Big Deal.


The act of animal sacrifice is often practiced among Muslims during Eid.

"Our city is dirty enough. We don't want to make it more dirty," a Hamtramck resident said during a city hall meeting.

"Really ridiculous catastrophic resolution," another one said. "If it's not passed then we are ready to take it to courts for religious rights because it is constitution."

English speaker fluency level: Beyond native.

In fact, there's already work-around for Muslims: They can just pay a butcher to slaughter an animal at the bucher-shop.

But they're whining that that's not good enough.

They want the Caliphate to exist here in America:


Many Muslims pay a butcher to perform the religious sacrifice but for some families, it's just not practical.

"A lot of families will typically do it in the confines of their property like in their backyard or their garage and dispose of the animal accordingly," Director of Safe Spaces at Cair Michigan Nour Ali said.


The rule of Allah-mandated colonization only goes in one direction, naturally:

Animal sacrifice is always tied to religion, even if it is satanic worship or something. At least as far as I know. What other situation would there be an animal sacrifice? Who would the animal be sacrificed to?

Posted by: ... at August 13, 2026 05:59 PM (/TWzC)

57 Part of our problems that we overlook how much of the M. E. was actually taken over my muslims. It was war and jihad, but mostly it was demographic, especially in the mountainous regions. This was a very slow process taking centuries, but some valleys had muslims, and some Christians or other groups.

They specifically rely on demographic dominance to overwhelm the region before war, and even between wars they try to insert their kind into, or near, Christian villages or valleys and then out breed them so they will have an advantage when the war comes.

What we are seeing in USA is not a new response to new political conditions, it is their same old practice that they have used for centuries, and I am sure they are teaching this in mosques here and at the source countries to encourage people to migrate.

Animal cruelty is something that does not hinge on religious beliefs and so can be banned for all.

61 If I understand it correctly, the "sacrifice" for Eid is to share livestock meat with family, friends, and the poor. Why even bother calling that "sacrifice"? Just say you're butchering a chicken or something.

So they're just slaughtering animals for food? Same as everyone else on the planet? But they're brown, so let the bigotry, racism, and ignorance flow from there.

No one cares about Larry sharing the deer he processes in his garage, but God forbid Amir slaughters a goat all under the supervision of religious leader (in most cases, you know "halal") in his garage

If you've had Kosher or Halal food then you have had "animal-sacrificed" food. It's not like they're doing some ritual of burning an animal alive for the sake of killing an animal.

They also push - constantly push - their laws onto the land they control.

Does anyone doubt that those ragheads on their slave mats 5 times a day bowing to their masters, who insist on doing it near churches, in the street, at work, in airplanes, etc. Does anyone doubt that they were taught to do this as a form of intimidation and dominance?

This is all just blatant conquest.

The problem was it happened at an apartment complex that had a row of parking garages. Children were playing while this large animal was dragged/hanged at the opening of the garage.
Children tend to be protected from the reality that animals are killed for humans to eat. It is terrorizing to allow the slaughter to be done in public. imo

Posted by: Change my mind

The Left loves its concept known as "Orientalism" -- the notion that westerners like to fetishize and "exoticize" the east (including the Middle East) and apply western standards to it, because we simply can't understand it with our limited western worldview.

But that's exactly what happened when the West encountered the thing called "Islam." Because we int he West had no word nor any concept to characterize the all-encompassing philosophy/lifestyle/military doctrine/economic system/social conformism/personal control of Islam, we just shrugged and called it a "religion," even though the followers of Islam itself did not think of it as a "religion," but simply "the only allowed way of existing."

That Western "orientalist" mischaracterization of Islam as a religion persists to this day.

87 Not sure how I fell about this. There are tons of stories in the bible about God requiring a sacrifice or people sacrificing an animal to gain God's favor.

And the Cross ended animal sacrifice. And 70AD made sure that there wasn't a Temple to do animal sacrifice unless God's Message wasn't clear.

If the Muslim savages feel a need for animal sacrifice, they have their own region of the world to do that in. Slaughter away and deal with God's Wrath from thousands of miles away.

This isn't about animal sacrifice. Its about colonization and conquering.

The depressing part is that the former United States no longer has the ability to slay its dragons, but instead wants to mate with the dragons.

89 Santeria- The religion focuses on building reciprocal relationships with orishas (spirits who serve as intermediaries and guide devotees in daily life) through divination, initiation, mediumship, and animal sacrifice (intended for food and spiritual energy, not malice).

Sacrificing animals for spiritual energy seems pretty malicious to me (and probably the animal).

-----------------
On primary night, Flanagan showed a promising pivot toward the fall campaign, all but calling Tafoya “MAGA Michele” from the First Avenue stage.
It was pitch perfect.

Minnesota’s fraud is a stain that requires systemic correction. But the scope and reach of Trump’s self-enrichment and ransacking of the federal government continue to obliterate on a daily basis anything that has happened here.

If elected, I’d expect Tafoya to support most of Trump’s actions just as the Republicans in the state’s congressional delegation have done. Unless Tafoya, and Demuth as well, acknowledge and call out Trump’s historic grift, they should get no traction with voters.

101 If I understand it correctly, the "sacrifice" for Eid is to share livestock meat with family, friends, and the poor. Why even bother calling that "sacrifice"? Just say you're butchering a chicken or something.

So they're just slaughtering animals for food? Same as everyone else on the planet? But they're brown, so let the bigotry, racism, and ignorance flow from there.

No one cares about Larry sharing the deer he processes in his garage, but God forbid Amir slaughters a goat all under the supervision of religious leader (in most cases, you know "halal") in his garage

If you've had Kosher or Halal food then you have had "animal-sacrificed" food. It's not like they're doing some ritual of burning an animal alive for the sake of killing an animal.

I love my grandkids. The baby is easy (well, not yesterday as she wanted to be held vs playing). The 5yr old girl tested what is left of my patience today but I held on to my sanity. Grandson was fine and 8yrs.

Fine until parents arrived to change clothes to meet their new teachers (private school, in uniforms).

I asked the grandson nicely to "please go away" as he was messing with the baby I was quickly feeding a bottle. He then announced that I had been "mean" all day. I wanted to say, "Boy, you don't know what mean is" but did not. Later asked for an example and he grinned and said, "many examples." I told him this was baloney. Yes I was not my sizzling self as I am tired, but I was not mean to anyone. GAH

So lowering your taxes, deporting criminals, ending multiple wars, shrinking government, reducing fraud, restoring trust in the institutions (as far as what can possibly be salvaged), reducing inflation, restoring energy independence, removing crippling regulation, fast-tracking the development of new grid scale energy sources, de-weaponizing the federal agencies, while not taking a single dollar of payment from the taxpayers (e.g. donating his entire salary to charity) is "self-enrichment" and "ransacking".

166 Of course the Paschal Lamb is a sacrifice: it dies so you can live. Stop looking at the surface and think about the inner meaning. It is also why Jesus is the Lamb of God. Jesus died a sacrificial and substitutionary death so that, if you believe in Him and declare your belief with your mouth, you may live in Heaven with Him forever. He died to pay for your sins (and for mine). We are unworthy of such a sacrifice, but even worse would be to turn down His offer.

Once the old Dodge Main assembly plant in the heart of town closed down in 1980 and was torn down in 1981, Hamtramck began its downward slide. The Michigan State Supreme Court allowing GM to eminent domain parts of Hamtramck and “Poletown” to bulldoze it for a GM plant in the early 1980s further accelerated its fall.

El-Sayed Also Hates Thanksgiving, Wants the Day to be for the Remembrance of the "Slaughter" of "Indigenous Peoples"

It's weird how these foreign anchor-babies keep turning out to be so thoroughly anti-American, isn't it?

You'd almost think they were foreign sleeper agents placed inside an enemy country they planned to subvert and harm from within.

Before getting to Thanksgiving: It also turns out that this son-of-a-bitch oversaw a high-kill shelter where animals were kept in appalling conditions before being slaughtered.


Clown World
@ClownWorld

Michigan Democrats just nominated Abdul El-Sayed for Senate. He oversaw Detroit's animal shelter where the kill rate hit 74%, whistleblowers called it a slaughterhouse, and the city paid $63,000 to settle a lawsuit over the conditions. Feces backed up into kennels. Rats and cockroaches everywhere.

This is the guy they want representing Michigan. He can't even take care of dogs. And he's supposed to represent you.

Michigan deserves better.

The love of dogs is a Western thing. Many Muslims regard dogs as "unclean" and in fact propose banning dogs from public streets so that Muslims aren't forced to encounter these filthy animals.


The most basic and wholesome bits of American culture are anathema to him and must be destroyed:

thanksgiving.jpg


This communist wants to seize the means of production:

Obviously he wants to jack up everyone's taxes:

And obviously, he wants to end all aid to Israel.

America First?

Nah, he wants to take that money and give it to the Hamas-controlled UNRWA instead:

unrwa.jpg

That's not America First. That's Islam First. As usual.

This is an interesting admission from El-Sayed's fellow pro-Hamas Muslim communist Mamdani: Mamdani admits that white people are more "ideological" in their politics, while the minorities Mamdani appeals to are mostly about "identity" -- the racial spoils system -- than ideology.

This is Soviet-style demoralization, as KGB defector Yuri Bezemenov warned us about. Convince the enemy that he is wrongheaded and worthless and that is country and culture are wicked and diseased, and you will be able to conquer that country with only the lightest physical resistance.

Demoralization efforts, of course, are first directed at the enemy children.

19 On a more serious note, most of the "slaughter" of the "indigenous people" (read: deaths of the indians) was due to disease.

It was not the nefarious design of the Europeans, but the natural response of the connection of populations without any historic immunity to new diseases.

Yes, it was a terrible loss of life, but it was inevitable no matter WHO made contact with an unexposed people group.

42 The "Democrats," as always

During World War II under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, military guards shot and killed a small number of Japanese Americans and Japanese nationals detained in American confinement facilities.

While mass executions did not occur, isolated fatal shootings happened when guards claimed prisoners attempted to escape or during unrest.

Just a wee small number.
---
President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in February 1942, leading to the forced removal of over 120,000 Japanese Americans into remote camps.

The camps were managed under armed military guard, creating a volatile prison-like environment where rule infractions or perceived threats led guards to use lethal force. (AI)

47 He isn't wrong that the United States was built on taking land from the indigenous people, that's a historical fact. We did exactly the same thing that the indigenous people did amongst themselves for 10,000 years before the white man showed up.


They conquered and enslaved entire populations from differing tribes long before whitey came on the scene and it was business as normal among them all. The white settlers and government just upped the ante and conducted the same policies on an industrial scale.


Where he is wrong is that you can't go back and right a wrong that occurred 300+ years ago, there is no remedy for people who have long since died. There is not a living soul alive or that was directly affected by any of the policies of the US government during the expansionist period.

Just remember all the land held by "Russia" was conquered, but turned into a quasi-Marxist state anyway.

I know we like to dunk on FDR, and he was absolutely an evil bastard and the worst president we've ever had.

BUT the internment of the Japanese was a perfectly understandable response to the actions of many of those of Japanese descent in the United States. Michelle Malkin has a great book about the classified information they were acting on. (In addition to publicly know information)

I think it was wrong, but it wasn't a "THEY WERE ALL JUST RACISTS!!!" issue.

82 Why the WI Dems cheated to defeat Hong:
--
On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN NewsNight,” Washington Post Intelligence Lead Global Security Analyst Josh Rogin said that the real story from Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary is “that progressive whatever it is message, is gaining steam, even in Wisconsin, compared to yesterday, compared to last year, and will continue to gain steam.” And Francesca Hong “didn’t lose because of the message, she lost because the voters questioned her electability.”

Rogin said, “I think a lot of people are missing the story here. It’s not that she lost, it’s that, weak candidate, without any establishment support, almost won. She got 39% of the vote in Wisconsin, okay? And that’s not the state where the DSA is supposed to win. And, but for those stumbles in the final weeks, she would’ve won. And that is the trend. It’s not that she didn’t win the race, it’s that that message, that progressive whatever it is message, is gaining steam, even in Wisconsin, compared to yesterday, compared to last year, and will continue to gain steam. And, in effect, she didn’t lose because of the message, she lost because the voters questioned her electability.”

87 "We did exactly the same thing that the indigenous people did amongst themselves for 10,000 years before the white man showed up."

Seems Americans were much more fair about compensating and dealing with Indians, than the Indians were with other tribes, or with white Americans. They needed to trade with us since they had no metal, and no guns.

Squanto said he preferred to live with the whites, for their better culture. Massasoit said their problems would not come from the white men, but from other Indian tribes.

If we want to go back in time, then I still carry a grudge over Islam murdering and pillaging their way through the Christian lands about a thousand years ago. We have reparations coming from Islam, right?

104 A casual study of the events leading up to Pearl Harbor, and the near total takeover of the economy and rationing by February, 1942 shows the US government was leaving absolutely nothing to chance. The war had been going on for several years by that time and the outcome was still in some doubt.

There's no way they would allocated scarce resources and manpower to build camps and intern thousands unless somebody thought it was important. Really important.

That's not even counting the political angle. If there HAD been some sort of organized attack by those of Japanese ancestry in the Zone of the Interior, it would have been an extinction level event for anybody in charge.

116 The asshats in Anchorage keep stating that Anchorage is built on Denaina land. Of course, the Denaina only took parts of it over when they killed the Yupiks who lived there first. Plus, history and archeology shows that they had a very small fish camp for about three months out of the year on Ship Creek, not very much of Anchorage, and that they never had permanent settlement anywhere near it. And, they are free to fish that creek any time they like, so it's not like they are barred from their "ancestral" lands.

But somehow, we horribly wronged them when we brought them out of the stone age, gave them free healthcare, funded special educational aid for Natives, and allowed them subsistence rights they claim to always have had. When another tribe wasn't murdering them, that is.

It was not the nefarious design of the Europeans, but the natural response of the connection of populations without any historic immunity to new diseases.

I think I can live with this opinion if the other guy is an election denier. Pretty easy choice.

I'll be happy to campaign against this guy when we have a normal and sane GOP that believes in the Rule of Law and democracy, which is to say never again in my lifetime.

MAGA and their sympathizers are really contorting themselves to find ways to attack people like El-Sayed. No one cares about any of this. Imagine believing this was in any way relevant to a Senate election against an extremist election denier.

Are you so sure that there aren't enough moronic voters out there that this stuff won't matter? The last 10 years of politics has humbled me in this regard. However dumb you think our politics is, you can still be surprised.

One of the great American Tragedies is that the traitorous actions of only three Japanese-American individuals in the Niihau Incident was the final catalyst for Democrats to round up every Japanese-American they could get their hands on, ACTUALLY steal their land, money and possessions, and lock them up in concentration camps.

And the response was that the Issei and Nisei men locked up in these same camps turned out to be by far, the most ferocious soldiers to ever wear an American military uniform and defend this country.

The thing is they had more advanced cultures in N. America way back in the past. They were building towns of tens of thousands around mounds, etc., similar to Aztec and Maya but on a smaller scale.

If that evolution had continued the natives could have been a lot further ahead here than they were.

Something happened several millennia ago which destroyed that culture. The archaeologists and historians like to blame "climate change" (drought), of course, but it could've been something as common as economic collapse, loss of faith in leadership, and large-scale civil wars for all we know.

Islam is a political domination system that requires a religion-like fanatical adherence. It is a heresy of Catholicism, but one that takes out any personal responsibility for morality and moral behavior. It requires only submission to a god who is not knowable, and capricious, and demanding. Because their god is unknowable, there is no regard for investigating natural systems (i.e. science) nor any action by any person that would bring them closer to any ideal. Only submission, and jihad as commanded by their god.

Pretty much the central theme of Pope Benedict XVI's "Regensburg Address" (which, IMHO, is a must-read for Western civilization enthusiasts).

217 116 The asshats in Anchorage keep stating that Anchorage is built on Denaina land.... archeology shows that they had a very small fish camp for about three months out of the year on Ship Creek
Posted by: tcn in AK

My favorite "fun fact" about Berkeley:

Just as in Anchorage, there were roving bands (not entire tribes) of Native Americans who had seasonal camps on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, attested by the occasional subsequent discovery of "shell mounds" -- garbage dumps where the natives would toss their oyster shells over the centuries.

Problem is, one of the shell mounds was in Emeryville, a boring industrial city, and another one was in Richmond, a run-down slum.

Desperate to claim some of that Indian authenticity, the city of Berkeley tried to trumpet the important of its purported shellmound -- even though there was no above-ground evidence of it anymore (presuming it ever even existed). The problem? All the shells now piled up there were actually from a modern seafood restaurant now on the site! Oooops. Carbon-dating showed no evidence of Native American presence after 780 AD, when they abandoned the site for unknown reasons.

WNBA: We Tried to Figure Out What a Woman Is But The Task Is Beyond Our Capabilities.

In fairness -- they're not biologists.

Collin Rugg
@CollinRugg

NEW: The Women's National Basketball Association was unable to determine what a woman is during a meeting on Wednesday.

A WNBA task force met to talk about transgender athletes, according to ESPN.

"Today's meeting covered a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes..." the WNBA said in a statement.

"We will continue to engage all league stakeholders in the coming weeks and months."

"We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and in alignment with the values of our league. There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA."

Remarkable. The Women's National Basketball Association needs months to figure out what a woman is.

Amusing video of Enes Kanter working out, with her breasts censored.

EssentiallySports
@ES_sportsnews
The WNBA has officially responded following a virtual task force meeting led by Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.

Addressing both ongoing discussions around transgender athlete eligibility and online harassment directed at players, the league released a statement clarifying its stance:

Key Takeaways From the WNBA Statement:

- No Immediate Changes:
The league confirmed that "there are no immediate
eligibility matters affecting the WNBA," reiterating that current policy (Article XIII) simply states "only players who are women are eligible to play."

- Denouncing Online Abuse:
The WNBA strongly condemned the "continued hate and vitriol directed at players online" and called out "bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others." - a direct response to recent announcements by former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring their intention to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft

Wesley Yang pointed out, correctly, that you cannot separate "good faith efforts" to say that intact men can play women's sports from "bad faith efforts" to say intact men can play women's sports because both claims are the exact same claims. There is no difference between a good-faith argument that 2+2=4 and a bad-faith argument that 2+2=4. It's the same claim. The "faith" of the claim doesn't enter into it.


wnbaclowns.jpg

These ugly low-IQ cows say that they won't define a woman, or a trans woman, because that would make them "political pawns."

notpolitical pawns.jpg

Of course, WNBA coaches are eager to be political pawns for the trans extremists, wearing t-shirts demanding that "trans" men be allowed to play in girls sports.

They're scrambling to find a way to say both "all transwomen are women and welcome" and also "these motherf***rs ain't welcome here" but that's a task for genuises and these bitches ain't no geniuses.

letherplay.jpg

Royce White, the Stunning and Brave Trans Woman* (*for purposes of playing in the WNBA), impresses me as the most courageous and funny woman I have ever seen.

revolutionarykween.png

The left is claiming that these trans women can't be real trans women because they haven't had trans surgery or chemical castration:


Walter Masterson
@waltermasterson

As a progressive, I fully support Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring themselves for the WNBA.

I only ask that they commit to the bit.

Medically transition. Take HRT, take blockers. Show us what your performance looks like when your body is at a deficit of both testosterone and estrogen.

Do this for 2-3 years. Then show up to open tryouts and show us all how well you perform after gaining 30% in fat mass and losing 5% muscle mass.

Go ahead Enes and Royce, chemically transition, or STFU.

The trouble is, of course, that the trannies have insisted that no such medical interventions are needed to "confirm" one's identity as a Proud Trans Kween.


Royce White 🇺🇸
@Highway_30

Genitalia doesn't determine gender. That's a cis normative fallacy. My trans-affirming doctor told me I can think of my genitalia as 9 inches of clitoris.

Royce White for President
WNBA #LetHerPlay

This is a great point: I see a lot of Yt men objecting to Kanter and Royce joining the league as the Proud Trans Women they are.

Is this just Racism Straight-Up?

Wesley Yang
@wesyang

Michelle Goldberg wrote a piece in Slate more than a decade ago trying to alert the world to the fact that under the new rules governing gender identity, any man who declares himself to be a woman is entitled to recognition as a woman.

Since then, a few things have happened: 1.) the governing institutions of the Western world have all worked feverishly to inscribe this standard into law and policy, 2.) an army of hundreds of thousands of young people were memed into existence claiming cross-sex identities, only a small minority of whom have medicalized in any way, 3.) the state has promised this army a right to violate sex-based boundaries on the basis of a claim to a cross-sex identity, 4.) while the public somehow remains oblivious to this fact and cynical trans activists and allies lie and say that medicalization is required when it serves their interest to do so.

Wesley Yang
@wesyang
What did y'all think "gender identity" meant? It means that male rapists and murderers can sue the state for entrance to women's prisons and win. It means that the European Court of Human Rights can declare that requiring genital surgery for cross-sex recognition is a human rights violation.

It means that an unfalsifiable, unprovable, non-observable subjective inner state knowable only through self-report becomes the basis for conferring a right to recognition on anyone claiming it and a duty of affirmation of that claim on anyone interacting with anyone claiming that state.

It means that under NY state law, former NBA players who declare themselves to be women can declare themselves to be women and apply for entrance to the WNBA and sue under New York State Human Rights Law, which contains no provision requiring any medicalization or demonstration of "sincerity" on the part of the plaintiff to quality as a "woman," if they are denied entry.

If these Proud Trans Women aren't real Trans Women because they haven't had any medical "confirmation" of their perceived gender -- can we now say the 87-95% of trans "women" who also haven't had such medical "confirmation" are Just Dudes as well?

Because I'll take that deal. (As a first step.)

nobottomsurgery.png

Great point -- they're trying to craft an air-tight definition of what a "trans woman" supposedly is in order to avoid creating a very basic, common sense definition for what an actual woman is.

Mark Hemingway
@Heminator

It's kind of amazing that they are now trying to create a specific definition of what a trans person is all in order to avoid having a specific definition of what a biological woman is.

16 They cannot codify anything, so drafting will remain "discretionary". Which it is. I'm pretty sure there exists no "right" to be drafted, but it should get interesting when it hits the courts.

I can see teams arguing they didn't believe in the players' "intent" to play to their fullest or not become a sideshow or distraction to the other players.

The fact that all the teams agreed with each other becomes de facto proof there was an issue. It's bullshit but we are surrounded by bullshit.

Actually, it's worse than that - most lesbians don't want anything to do with trannies, and so becoming an openly tranny league repels their main fan base.

It''s why we've gone from hundreds of lesbian bars forty years ago to less than twenty today - there is no way to keep the men wearing dresses out of the bars, so actual lesbians don't want to hang out there.

If a male has gone through puberty, they have gained all of the physical advantages over women regardless of having parts lopped off or hormone therapy.

I also seem to remember that even with cross sex hormones, trans women (dudes who want you to call them Loretta) still have 10x the testosterone of actual women.

So all this talk about the steps one needs to take to be considered a woman is so much hand waving.

97 It's not just sports.

Notice that, whether pro or con, the entire bitter argument revolves around *men impersonating women,* rather than vice versa.

That's because there are no societal or financial benefits to being a man.

When one of these crazy broads glues a toe to her pussy and goes around saying "yeah, homey I'm a total dude, bro, high five and fist bump, my man," everyone just says "ok, lady. You look like a huge fag. Welcome to manhood. Enjoy getting the short end of every stick, but I guess you're used to it, what with the toe thing. Try not to get confused and falsely accuse yourself of rape, or sue yourself into the poor house because you want to fuck your tennis coach on a trip to Ibiza."

The black lesbian WNBA players can certainly identify the white women who play well and bring in increased income and popularity for the league. They beat on them during games. And the management and coaches are fine with that, since they selectively excuse the beatings.

They seem to prefer the league as it was -- a money-losing DEI grift for the untalented that extorts money from the NBA (i.e. actual players) and lets the lesbians' freak flag fly. The double talk is because they can't say that out loud.

137 It is true if a biological male claims he/she/it is a female then we must respect this gesture with the appropriate response in the hospital environment.

Based on this then any person born being the wrong gender that they think they are because of a biological error then it is our duty to correct this mistake that was made prior to birth.

Thus, also if a transgender male stimulates his Mangina by jerking off than this considered the equal to stimulating the vagina tract with a false a dildo or finger......

“The WNBA should be courageous. Stand for women. You can’t stand for something you can’t even define,” she said. “Acknowledge that the inherent differences between men and women were the whole reason we needed the WNBA in the first place.

“Boundaries, clarity and exclusion are not hateful in sport... they’re the prerequisite to playing and loving the game. Without the lines, without the rules, without the honesty about who’s in and who’s out, there is no fair competition.”

141 This is turning into a rather entertaining troll effort. Clay Travis is managing the board nicely. I'll tell you what was really discussed in that WNBA meeting. The topic of "what is a woman?" never came up. The true discussion was how to appear "inclusionary" without really being "inclusionary."

I'll bet the case of Yuengling Dark in my fridge that they change their new franchise by-laws in the next few months to reflect vague, non-committal and highly aloof language giving them the opportunity to turn down new franchises for "unexplained" reasons. That nulifies the Clay Travis team troll...and gives them plausible deniability.

Travis, and attorney (and a rather good one from what I'm told) will counter by establishing costs associated with setting up a new franchise and stick the WNBA with the bill.

I can look up from my laptop and see an autographed picture of Bobby Orr "Super-man" goal; can look across the room and see a Johnny Unitas autographed helmet. Across the hall, an autographed framed jersey from Roman Gabriel. I've seen maybe 2 minutes of the WNBA; Caitlyn Clark being throttled, Sophie Cunningham being clotheslined. Not a dime...

“I said it in 2019, and you know if you listen to the full conversation, you very quickly understand what I’m talking about,” Piker said. “I should have phrased things better.”

Piker made the vile comments in 2019 during a broadcast on Twitch.

The full quote was, “This is so insane. America deserved 9/11 dude, fuck it. I’m saying it… We totally brought it on ourselves.”

...

“I apologize for those who I have offended, but most importantly, apologize for giving an opportunity to the right to just like use this against me,” he continued.

...

Elsewhere in the podcast appearance, Piker defended his use of pejoratives for Israeli settlers calling Republicans ‘inbred hicks’.

“I’ve called Republicans inbred hicks my whole life. I call, you know, Nazis inbred. I call them pigs. You know all these different things. I’ve gotten banned for this,” said Piker.

The Left's Dreamboat Assassin Luigi Mangione Close to Pleading Guilty In Execution of United Healthcare CEO and Father Brian Thompson

These are federal charges, so they plea deal is being negotiated by "Trump's" DOJ. But we all know about the Southern District of NY, where Comey's foul daughter worked.

If this is a sweetheart deal -- if it's anything less than life in prison without parole -- then every single corporation should immediately evacuate New York City, as this communist shithole has been determined to be a place where a jury won't convict a leftwing killer.

And if Trump doesn't like the deal, he should overrule "his" lawyers and yank it off the table.


I fear that's exactly the plan.


Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty Friday to federal charges in connection with the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The expected plea change comes less than a month before Mangione, 28, is scheduled to go to trial in a state murder case in connection with the fatal shooting of Thompson, 50, a father of two.

Luigi Mangione was meeting with his lawyers this morning at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn in advance of tomorrow's federal court hearing in Manhattan, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Lawyers for Mangione declined to comment. The Justice Department and a court spokesperson also declined to comment.

It is unclear if Mangione will plead guilty to one or both of the two stalking-related charges in his federal case. While details of Mangione's plea are not immediately clear, he could reverse his decision at any time, even during the hearing.

Sources familiar with the matter stressed that plea negotiations are ongoing and that nothing is final until Mangione himself accepts or enters into a plea deal.

If he is convicted, he could face a life sentence.

"Could"?

United Healthcare, whatever their faults, were not responsible for the medical state of Mangione's back injury nor his de facto impotence. He had access to the best treatment, with or without UHC, and his problem was incurable. His life sucked and he felt like shooting somebody.

57 Go to trial. No way all 12 convict!

I think there are enough stupid people they could get on that jury to convict unfortunately. Look what happened with OJ on the reverse side.

The OJ jury wasn’t stupid. They knew full well what they were doing, as retribution for Rodney King

The charges they’re planning to plea guilty to are the 2 federal stalking charges so that they can potentially use these charges to argue that New York’s Double Jeopardy law would make it so the state murder charges couldn’t be charged since the stalking charges are directly linked to the murder case. Maybe plea to those stalking charges and they drop the state charges to only a few and ask for concurrent sentences to do like 25 years. Better than life I suppose.

Jury Nullification was actually promising in this instance. I understand the option and choice to plea for a lesses sentence; however, this was a chance for the general public to show up for him and send a message of utter disdain towards insurance companies as a whole with a not guilty verdict.

Or, he realized that the real world is not Reddit and he doesn't have the blind support he has here.

And ye both of these violent leftist maniacs are popular (so we are told) because lonely AWFLs find them "handsome" or "hot" -- if you get your panties wet over some guy, then apparently you adopt their demonic political philosophy as well.

But seriously -- both of these guys are "mid" at best. Maybe compared to the typical low-T soyboy creep-nerds these woman are used to dating, Mangione and Piker are hot stuff?

Or it is the reverse: The media glamorize them as hot for the very reason of trying to get women to adopt their toxic politics -- even though no one really thinks they're hot?

93 You can't make a deal with Leftists, they have a zero integrity.

If I was on a Murder One jury, and the jurors were dead-locked between the death penalty and the prison, and the judge offered life without parole (LWOP) as a compromise when I thought the accused deserved the death penalty, I would have taken LWOP to ensure a conviction.

But now I can't. Democrat-run jurisdictions have now released murderers in prison for LWOP on many occasions.

128 This is disturbing, but much better that we find out now, than on a REAL battlefield. (Insty)

Ukrainian Drones Outmatch US Army in Exercise.

Ukrainian troops from the battle-tested 412th Regiment of Unmanned Systems Forces, known as Nemesis, effectively eliminated a U.S. armored brigade during the Combined Resolve exercise in April and May. Roughly 3,500 American personnel, primarily from the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, participated.

Ukrainian reconnaissance drones quickly located American armored vehicles, whose movement kicked up dust and made them visible from above.

Explosive-dropping and first-person-view, or FPV, drones then moved in.

The Ukrainians were registering simulated kills so rapidly that American vehicles had to be returned to the battlefield, or “re-spawned,” to keep the exercise running, according to the Journal.

The Americans adapted during the two-week engagement, improving their use of dispersion, concealment, and electronic warfare.

Ukrainian operators eventually switched sides and helped U.S. forces employ drones offensively, where the Americans performed more effectively.

141 The paper “Niceness as Whiteness in School Police Officers’ Perceptions of Student Arrest” addresses the “perceptions of arrest” by school resource officers, or SROs) in two school districts.

“Nice SROs did not want to arrest children. Nice police officers thought of themselves as well-meaning. Yet, they expressed being required to arrest children because of real or imagined mandates. They used niceness as a strategy for upholding a system of Whiteness that systematically privileges White people and excludes those who fall outside of Whiteness. Niceness hinders possibilities for the types of political, communal relationships central to authentic care.”

“SROs used niceness as Whiteness in their recounts of arrest … by highlighting the positive relationships they had with students they arrested…As with highlighting their own goodness, highlighting these positive relationships reframes violence (i.e., arrest) that contributes to racial inequality as a positive, since students still like the SROs. This strategy emphasizes the officer’s ability to retain his niceness—by virtue of the maintained interpersonal relationship—despite having arrested the student.”

163 Unlike the take here, I think a plea will be a positive development. This is not the airtight case that they had with Charlie Kirk's murder.

The only video they have of CEO's murder doesn't show the killer's face. They have no eyewitnesses that can identify Luigi as the murderer.

There were issues with chain of custody and warrantless searches. The judge said some of it can come in as evidence, but some not.

The case is circumstantial. I think it's powerful evidence in total that he did it, but juries often don't trust circumstantial evidence. They want to see the guy commit the crime, or hear from someone who did.

All you need is one weak or soft juror -- or a corrupt one -- and the jury is hung. There's a chance of that happening in this case. That's why there's talk of a plea deal.

164 Ukrainian troops from the battle-tested 412th Regiment of Unmanned Systems Forces, known as Nemesis, effectively eliminated a U.S. armored brigade during the Combined Resolve exercise in April and May. Roughly 3,500 American personnel, primarily from the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, participated.

I think there is an 80% chance this is basically bullshit

but

if there is anything the uke war has shown it is if you can see an enemy you can kill it. So tanks and APCs are not as useful as they once were.

This should have us looking to replace a lot of the expensive armor and munitions with cheaper things - drones, artillery, 2k dumb bombs but I have zero faith the DoD would agree to such a change in priority.

I assume the original expectation was the conflict wouldn't drag out as long as it has, so they may very well be low on some supplies. Plus, it's a long time at sea crammed into tight quarters in probably challenging operational posture. As reports have noted, "This current mission has established a new modern record for consecutive days at sea without a port call"

The International Association of Fire Fighters unanimously censured the Democrat after she vetoed legislation expanding collective bargaining rights for public-sector workers — bills she had repeatedly promised to sign during her campaign. Union leaders say the move was a clear betrayal of those commitments, and they’re now putting her on notice that future support is off the table until she makes good on what she pledged.

I will say I think we made a mistake in the way we labeled things back in 2001. This issue wasn't terrorism per se, the issue was radical islam declared war on the west and chose terrorism - targeting civilian targets to induce fear - as their means of war.

All wars, well ones you want to win, target reducing your enemy's will to fight. So while we spent 20 years giving jihadis the martyrdom they wanted and then paying their families for it, they killed random people and reduced our ability to live normal lives.

If we had responded to 9/11 with Tokyo style firebombings of every Taliban held city and Sunni Arab city in Iraq I suspect
the last 20 years of war would have looked very different.

Regardless, the sailors and Marines aboad have been there for a long time. They did exercise in November-January and were supposed to go home when Epic Fury called.

228 I'm probably one of the few who think that plea bargains shouldn't even be a thing.

If the state can't prove its case, it shouldn't be charging the defendant in the first place.

Note that I do believe that the overwhelming majority of people in prison are there justifiably.

But...I also believe that of the small fraction of innocent people in prison, the overwhelming majority are there because of a plea bargain.

While clothing exists to keep us warm and cover up our naughty bits it ALSO exists to flatter our bodies by hiding/obscuring flaws and extending areas where we look good.

I'm not really into it, though. I like my nearly murder-free living situation. It suits me and my family.

We could just split the country up. We can have our awesome murder-free areas and they can have their awesome kill-orgies all day.

We can clean up our murder-holes at bayonet point. They can, I dunno, jail anybody who doesn't have enough holes punched on their Murder Cards, or something.

Karoline Leavitt Will Leave Her Job as WH Spokeswoman at the End of the Month

karolineleavittdeparts.jpg

She says she wants to mother her new baby, and for once I believe the "spend more time with my family" line.

Karoline Leavitt

@karolineleavitt


Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world and meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country and meeting Americans from all walks of life.

Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium. I have spoken with great pride about the many historic accomplishments of this Administration, and I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump's successes.

Being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least. The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary -- and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life.

President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside, and I will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party.

Our country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over.

Thank you again to the President, the First Lady, and the entire Trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years. Thank you to our amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign, and to the President's cabinet, my staff, colleagues, and friends at the White House who work so hard on behalf of our nation. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people, and I look forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years.

And of course, thank you most especially to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role.


I searched for "best of Karoline Leavitt" on YouTube. The first two hits were attacks on Karoline Leavitt by leftwingers. I'm so tired of Google and its constant election interference and reality distortion. I want it broken up into fifteen different companies.

That's my excuse for only being able to link this neutral/antagonisitic compilation of Leavitt battling the media. (If you know of a good one, one that Google is hiding, let me know.)

And Sisyphus trudges another weary step:

Erika Kirk

Family. That’s what it always is with these ghouls. They want you to think they have morals but it’s just a facade.

The tales she'll be able to tell her Grandkids! "Let me tell you how I helped make sure your entire life will progressively get worse as you house floods, burns down, and you die of chemical exposure."

History will remember her as a vile, lying enabler of one of the worst humans to ever unfortunately stumble into power.

If you don't think this administration (including Leavitt) will be examined and studied for its corruption and lawlessness, I don't know what to tell you. Her lies and obfuscation are big parts of how they've been able to largely avoid consequences and accountability from the general population.

She's not a run-of-the-mill press secretary.

There are so many "rules" about this ritual that don't make sense to me. Why can't the Press Secretary refuse to take questions from organizations that continually lie? Admittedly, she'd be taking questions from just a handful of organizations, but they could rotate in high school or college journalists, maybe some of those freebie Coast Weekly publications -- as they're called in California. Probably have some name like Plains Weekly elsewhere.

FWIW, Ace, Pixy's story below today indicates that Cloudfare is getting ready to block a lot of the webcrawler activity that Google depends upon for access. And that the publishers have figured to do the same. That cripples the search engine acquisition of new data. My guess is the AI companies writ broadly want that new data for themselves, not the dying search indexing model web browsers.

I think AI augmented web browsers are going the be the first AI killer application that average folks have of AI along with virtual pron. Whether google retains the crown and revenues or slumps into IBM decline depends on their AI model ironically and Google in turn is depending on Android to bring that crown home, not desktops.

70 A good moment, opportunity, to radically shake-up the paradigm of press relations. No more individuals; let's get a rotating team of people, tough, direct and aggressive communicators who personally challenge each and every the media lie. Let's begin every press briefing with a 5-10 minute video compilation of media lies over the past week (even dig bag to recent history) -- calling out individuals and networks and websites to their faces and showing the receipts. Enough with the bubbly greetings and pretense that they don't hate Trump, America and us, and let's go to war -- in a straightfoward, factually-based, dispassionate manner.

And to be honest, it is long past the time to recognize that press conferences are dead--there is no news in them--only competing narratives between partisan players. And even worse when a Democrat is in the WH--then it is the media servicing the Dem propaganda machine by augmenting WH narratives.

Just put out press releases and live video if you are not Trump that enjoys dumping on the enemedia. No need to feed the hamsters pretending they are actually objective seekers of the news instead of partisan hacks.

The form exists but the underlying spirit of the idea is long dead and the media killed it along with any pretense of objectivity.

People in a bunch of states are cash-and-carry purchasing suppressors on 4473's from ffl's and assembling short barreled rifles/shotguns with no NFA paperwork. 3d printers are also going brrrrr.

The legal situation is a giant clusterfuck of non enforced and unenforceable regs, now, with some states being a gray area with state law referencing the NFA registry.

There are reports some ATF offices are telling ffls they are good to go; others are saying they have no guidance yet.

==================

I have a different concept: make them police themselves.

You do this with a new rule: the first overtly stupid question is the end of the press conference. This puts pressure on reporters to prevent stupid questions.

The reporters might do this by working out a seating arrangement, whether by vote or committee or whatever (it's up to them) that sets apart the Question Pool. Press Secretary picks from them. If you ask the stupid question that ends the conference, you get expelled for a week and someone else rotates in.

Something like that, needs finesse, but basically they police themselves and a stupid question from one gets a punishment for all.

I also thought of a game-show style approach.

Contestants are called down to the front row at random. We show them a media clip and they have to bid on how many lies are found in the media clip. The closest bidder (without going over) gets to ask a question and survives to the next round. Losers get kicked out of the Press Room until the next day.

Grossly Ugly SPLC AWFL Who Funneled Money to Her KKK Boyfriend So He Would Give Her a Pity Nazi-Bang Arrested for Money Laundering

Sad!

Former SPLC official arrested as feds expand case over alleged $4M scheme involving extremist groups



Federal indictment alleges donor funds were secretly funneled to groups like the Ku Klux Klan


A former top Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) official was arrested on charges Wednesday as federal prosecutors unveiled sweeping new allegations that donated money was allegedly secretly funneled to extremists and used for activities including recruiting members, staging rallies and buying materials for Ku Klux Klan robes and cross burnings.

Heidi Beirich, 59, of Palm Springs, California, was charged alongside the SPLC with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to submit false statements to a federally insured bank.

The second superseding indictment also charges Beirich with a conspiracy to commit concealed money laundering. Beirich was served with an arrest warrant Wednesday morning, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Alabama.

Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed the arrest during a news conference Wednesday in Washington, D.C., and said the federal investigation remains ongoing.

"I think, as alleged in the indictment, this individual participated in the scheme as alleged," Blanche said. "I believe she was part of the effort to open bank accounts and complete fictitious companies names and make payments that to individuals for reasons that were not, that were not accurate as described."'

FBI Director Kash Patel also weighed in on the news via X, writing that Beirich was at the "center" of the bureau's ongoing investigation.

"As alleged, Heidi Beirich was at the center of our ongoing investigation into SPLC and their previously alleged criminal activity - where SPLC knowingly misled donors, who believed their money was being used to dismantle violent extremist organizations - when in fact, part of those donations were instead being used to pay senior leadership within those extremist groups," Patel wrote.

The 26-page indictment obtained by Fox News Digital alleges the SPLC secretly funneled at least $4.1 million in tax-exempt donor funds between 2007 and 2023 through bank accounts supposedly belonging to businesses unaffiliated with the organization. Prosecutors allege the money paid "field sources" who were leading or affiliated with violent extremist organizations.

Prosecutors allege donor money was used to attend and host extremist rallies, recruit members, grow and create extremist chapters, publish extremist literature and buy materials for KKK robes, hoods and cross burnings. The indictment also alleges two KKK members who wanted out of the movement were encouraged by the SPLC to remain and offered monthly payments and expenses.

One of the most explosive allegations centers on a source identified as "F-9," whom prosecutors say infiltrated the neo-Nazi National Alliance and received more than $1.2 million from the SPLC during the period covered by the indictment. Prosecutors allege Beirich oversaw payments to F-9 while also having a romantic relationship with him, with the pair sharing a home and two bank accounts.


Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donor money flowed from the SPLC's operating account through a "Tech Writers" account and ultimately into joint bank accounts held by Beirich and F-9, prosecutors allege. The indictment says the money accounted for approximately 66% of all funds deposited into their joint accounts and alleges Beirich used donor money to pay the couple's personal living expenses.

She's the White Fani Willis. I wonder who her Darius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq., is.


FBI Director Kash Patel
@FBIDirectorKash

Following an FBI investigation with our DOJ partners: today we are announcing a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center's Director of Intelligence, Heidi Beirich.

As alleged, Heidi Beirich was at the center of our ongoing investigation into SPLC and their previously alleged criminal activity - where SPLC knowingly misled donors, who believed their money was being used to dismantle violent extremist organizations - when in fact, part of those donations were instead being used to pay senior leadership within those extremist groups.

According to the indictment and our investigation, Beirich played a primary role in this scheme. From at least 2007-2023, Beirich allegedly helped orchestrate this fraudulent activity worth approximately $4.2 million, conspiring with SPLC to defraud donors, obtaining money through these materially false and fraudulent pretenses and omissions to pay leadership of the very violent organizations SPLC claimed to oppose.

Beirich was arrested today - charged with crimes including wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to submit false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.

This is an ongoing investigation. This FBI will find anyone who exploits the trust of the American people and our financial system.

While Beulah Balbricker here was using donor money to "create and grow" extremist groups, she complained about how goshdarn fast extremist groups were being created and grown, and blamed it on.... DRUMPF!!!!

But when his outré organization National Alliance was infiltrated by Beirich, he stated to the New York Post: "I knew it was that fat, ugly hog Heidi Beirich."

I'll give him max points for factual accuracy, if nothing else.

There's no better way to describe Beirich, than as a "fat, ugly hog." Both in body and spirit.

Correction: Trump’s weaponized justice department arrests expert...

More accurate would be "Fascist American regime abducts expert on fascism and far right."

MAGA is seeking revenge on anyone who fought the KKK and other right-wing terrorist groups. They see the SPLC as part of a broader Jewish conspiracy to 'replace whites' and turn America Communist. That's why the right always calls the SPLC Communist.

Arrested for paying spies to infiltrate white supremacist groups. Instead of arresting her, why not hire her to do that? Am I alone in *wanting* people to be infiltrating these groups?

A lot of leftwing women end up with odd sexual fixations. They believe masculine white men are evil so then they get turned on by evil. Your average lefty then beds a series of superficially masculine losers who hit, choke, and treat them poorly.

165 I bought a new dishwasher 3 years ago. It’s already on its last legs making some strange sounds while operating. Long out of warranty. Calling an appliance repair guy is $125 just to diagnose it. Then another $150-250 to fix it probably. A new one is $500. No point in repairing.

And that’s exactly what the manufacturers calculate and why everything is such shit quality now.

And this is part of the inflation number that doesn’t show up. Sure dishwashers are cheap compared to 20 years ago as are most appliances. But 20 years ago you bought one and it lasted 20 years. Now you have to buy them every 3 fucking years. Which makes them 600% more expensive relatively speaking.

Violence then is not calibrated like it is for leftists and indeed most of the world. Most of the world uses political violence to force others to do what they want without widescale destruction. The dominant strain on the right in the US is Jacksonian. Law abiding until it is not.

223 Have you guys seen the shock glove ICE is buying? It makes sense. It's already in your hand, unlike a TASER that is sitting on your belt. If you're grabbing someone with a TASER in hand, you can only use one hand. With this thing on, you have both hands plus the TASER functionality. Plus there's no way for cops to mistake their gun for their TASER.

Never mind that the vast majority of the rest of Europe and America was opposed to the Nazis and died in the hundreds of thousands to eradicate them. And never mind that there were many others that were just as bad, if not worse, than the Nazis: Stalinist Soviet Union, Japanese militarists of WWII, Maoist China, Khmer Rouge, Turkish genocide of Armenians, and on and on, none of which can be called "white supremacy."

The Morning Rant: When Capital Is Mobile, Socialism Will Fail

punk-monkey.jpg

The Soviet Union had a captive audience...nobody could leave with their money or their infrastructure unless the party allowed it. Communist China is the same way, as is Cuba, and North Korea, and Venezuela, and...

And leaving Krasnoyarsk for Tomsk, in the hope of more opportunity didn't work either...the laws under which the subjects of a socialist country operate made that change a triviality, even if one could get a permit to move.

But in free market economies, capital is mobile! And even more important; people are mobile. No permits required! No permission from the local People's Committee is needed...just a moving company and a funds transfer to the new city. So if you want to move your widget company to another city, have at it! And if you can convince your employees to go with you? All the better!

Why is this important? Because in the United States Of America, the deeply deluded flirtation with the out-and-proud socialism of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has exploded in the last few years. Whether it is organic growth of socialist principles, or a careful manipulation of the news cycle combined with excellent grassroots planning remains to be seen.

But one thing is certain; socialism has arrived in a few of our cities, including the biggest one! NYC is firmly in the grip of a socialist/Islamist mayor, and he is gleefully implementing public programs, increasing the tax rates wherever possible. and in all other respects bringing the soul-crushing policies of socialism to the people and businesses of New York City.

But this ain't the Soviet Union, and people and companies are leaving. And that is a very big problem for a city that has as its tax base a large number of highly paid people in finance and the employees in corporate offices whose presence in NYC is a business imperative...or at least it used to be!

And how do they do it? It's easy! Just leave. Our Constitutional Republic is specifically designed to give the states broad discretion over their governance, and that includes the business climate. So the draw of Texas and Tennessee and Florida -- all states with no income tax and a business friendly regulatory structure -- is easy to understand.

JP Morgan Chase has reduced head count by 6,000 people, and has expanded operations in Florida and Texas. Goldman Sachs has unveiled an explicit program (Project Voyage) of relocation to Dallas and Salt Lake City. Citadel's global headquarters is now in Miami. Apollo Global Management is expanding in Austin. Blackstone is expanding in Dallas, and Miami. AllianceBernstein is moving several thousand employees to Nashville. And these are peole whose salaries are not $50k/year for clerical work or running a cash register. These are in many cases highly compensated employees who make $250k...or many multiples of that. The decrease in tax revenue from just a few of these people leaving is substantial, and it is not going to end anytime soon. The top 1% of earners in NYC pays 40% of the personal income tax! That is huge and unsustainable.

And that's just finance. Other large corporations whose executives can see the never-ending increases in corporate and personal taxes, coupled with the vast improvement in data movement no longer have to be in NYC. The internet may very well be the death knell of NYC! Walmart, Amazon, even tiny little Foot Locker are relocating employees or flat out getting the hell out of NYC.

And lest one assume that the state of NY is more sane... it isn't. New York State taxes are among the highest in the country, and the state is losing corporations and highly compensated people at an outrageous rate too!

And all of this is because of the wisdom and genius of the founders of our great country. Each state is largely free to experiment. And the flow of capital from the socialist experiment in New York City to the free states is huge, and growing. California and Illinois and Minnesota and New Jersey are also suffering from the same disease, and the low tax states are very happy to cultivate an atmosphere of freedom from regulation and taxation that makes them an attractive alternative to the sclerotic blue states.

13 There is a massive opportunity for some other cities to improve from New York's foolish choices.

For example, Detroit has LOTS of empty buildings. If its leaders were smart, they'd be reaching out to NY businesses and its Jewish community to take advantage of cheap rent, less insane policies and an existing Jewish community.

I'm going to bet that Detroit doesn't have leaders smart enough for that. Like most other big cities in the US.

21 Someone once described wealth as the power to control your future. The thing about power is that people who have it are more than willing to use some of it to maintain it.

So, the people with lots of wealth are certainly going to react to attempts to take some if it by using some of it to keep the rest.

51 But in free market economies, capital is mobile!
---
In free markets, you *have* property. Property implies control.

Thus decision-making is distributed. The more you allow a private individual to control--as long as it doesn't adversely affect other self-determination, the more distributed decision-making is outside the government.

This is why free economies should not die.

My concern is movement through the states like locusts. I *itch all the time about the NY mass movement to PA during C19. Well, it continues & grows. (There is NO street or parking lot without an abundance of NY license plates.) And now, after Wolf, Gov. Shapiro.

Old, I remember some of the Vietnam War. The idea that communism grows and must be stopped in Southeast Asia was known as the domino theory, the belief a primary reason the United States entered the Vietnam War. But while neighboring nations, Laos and Cambodia, also fell to communist governments, the wider global domino effect did not happen as predicted.

However, Vietnam did not abandon socialism because capitalism became mobile; rather, in 1986, the ruling Communist Party deliberately introduced market reforms known Renewal to rescue a collapsing command economy.

Rather than failing, the state retained a monopoly on political power and control over key economic sectors, creating a "socialist-oriented market economy" that, reportedly, dramatically reduced poverty.

If true, it's that brand of socialism I fear might consume the US, especially to support greed & the influx of undocumented since +/-2006.

Good to know. I had to do research.

States just default on bonds but it hasn't happened since Arkansas in 1933. But still, I think bondholders will just expect some sort of bailout.

If it's made clear that the US government will NEVER bail them out, then maybe funding would dry up.

All just restatements of the Levelers, the radical city Anabaptists in Germany in the Reformation, and demented musing of Rousseau and Marx.

Democracy is to them another name for Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Soviet Union had elections too for the Supreme Soviet, which in turn ratified everything that the Politburo wanted. Courts as well with a generous bill of rights, which were in turn whatever 'justice' corresponded with what the Politburo wanted in a particular case.

So in their case, "Democracy" is a euphemism of an oligarchic state run by insiders like her with the sole purpose of the electorate ratifying the decisions of the oligarchy. And in fact misapplied to the US and its Founding. It is a republic (as was the Soviet Union in theory) and voters cannot ratify decisions of insiders to violate the very Constitution that their power is based upon.

120 80 Columbus, Ohio was a very pleasant medium-sized city in the early 1980s. Forced bussing after 1979 was ruining the public schools and bringing crime and decay to many places, but there were good parochial schools as well as close-in suburbs. Hilliard was tiny - we called it "hillbilliard". Now it is overflowing and a plurality of households with children in the Hilliard public school system speak Arabic as their first language. Nearby Tuttle Mall, which is "credited" with destroying the downtown City Center mall, looks like a middle eastern bazaar now.

133 Blue states are looking into other ways to make it expensive, or legally a hassle to leave.

Renting a U-Haul in CA to bug out is expensive, but it's because of demand, mostly. But the state could implement legal hurdles too, if it wanted. Or tack on a disconnect fee for utilities that's unreasonable. Stop refunding deposits or money spent on something that you no longer need in the state you're moving to.

There's no end to lengths they'll go to make it hard for you to bug out.

135 Cont'd

During the initial rollout of Renewal in the late 1980s and 1990s, the immediate casualties of dismantling the old socialist safety net were the working class and rural poor.
(The wealth had quickly concentrated in industrial hubs like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.)

Under strict socialism, the state provided basic healthcare, education, and food rations.

To transition to a market economy, the government instituted user fees for hospitals & schools. Poor families suddenly could not afford medical treatments, whereas the emerging elite could buy high-quality private care.

The rising middle class bears the heaviest structural tax burden; the ultra-wealthy found loopholes to retain their capital, and the poor initially bore the brunt of slashed state services before broader growth lifted them up.

Who still paid/pays the financial burden? Middle class. Who paid the initial systemic price? Poor.

Democrats have no interest in a 'democracy' but instead use 'votes' as ratifying what Democrats have done and will do. The actual existence of a voter is irrelevant just like it was in Venezuela. What matters is the veneer of approval just like the Supreme Soviet voting to approve whatever the Politburo did.

And that is how you get a communistic dictatorship of the proletariat disguised which is simply a rehash of a warped aristocracy that treated peasants as property of the lords over them. To do with as they wished. Kings were actually brought about being given 'divine right to rule' in order to crush the rapacious nobility that had every interest in keeping their form of forced labor. And Kings in turn became decadent and evil because absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

Bond holders get nothing. They were happy enough to give out loans to deadbeats and in return get sweet higher than average interest payments until they stopped. Same reason why I had no sympathy for those that kept buying Argentinian bonds for decades at nosebleed interest rates which inevitably resulted in default. Instead, the bondholders should be able to pursue the wealth of all the politicians and their corrupt cronies that issued the debt in lawsuits. That way the real culprits are punished.

You want to break the cycle, then the incentive for bondholders is not to lend to deadbeats--if they do, they will have to take the high interest they demand as sufficient return. The incentive for the deadbeat is they don't get any money except at nosebleed interest which takes away their cash to operate to buy votes and steal wealth for themselves. The incentive for the politicians is to avoid themselves losing their generational wealth from a state going insolvent.

The distances from each village to Chur are:

Splügen: 51 kilometers (approx. 39 minutes driving or 58 minutes via hourly bus)
Scuol: 118 kilometers (approx. 1 hour and 45 minutes driving or 2 hours via regional train)

172 Sure, big companies can vote with their feet. But red jurisdictions didn't exactly wow us with their commitment to freedom during Coof Madness. And you only have to lose one national election to have 25,000 Haitians dumped into a town of 50,000. The average person is less able to vote with their feet than ever before with the tendrils of the federal government grasping at everything and your average Republican being less than conservative.

Blame Scotus--see McCulloch v. Maryland 1816. Marshall's opinion rested in part on the power to tax is the power to destroy. If you did in fact have federalism, then the states could not tax the federal government or its 'corporations' lest that meant that the states could destroy the federal government that way. But the converse was true too, the federal government could not tax the states and their policy instruments lest they be able to destroy the other sovereign governments of the states.

We saw all the TV coverage. The Nimitz Freeway got a 5 second clip. Knew there were a lot of dead there. Came in thinking about what to do for martial law. Using the 30 power big eyes, evidence of damage was light.

My car on the pier was halfway between the Nimitz Freeway and the failed part of the Bay Bridge. Cracks in the pier pavement.

So the states going more and more socialist will see their richer people move

The one exception to this are those who are politically connected where paying 10% in taxes might not matter because most of their income comes from laundered tax payer money anyway - so sure they lose 10% off the top but they make way more since government will give them more.

Amusingly in this regard they are more like the dependent class then the wealthy members of the productive class

--> Sure ya can! Dem-ruled shitholes will pass LAWS demanding that if you want to move your business out of their shithole you must pay an "exit tax" equal to three times your business's last state tax bill.
Most businesses will ditch plans to flee, hoping the situation will improve. A tiny few will leave without paying--and the host state will sue. And leftist judges (which rule every lower court) will rule in favor of the Dem shithole states.
So in a matter of months, the notion that you can move businesses and capital to more welcoming states--though *technically true,* will be effectively nullified by leftist judges under the "full faith and credit" clause.

Cuba has taken this to the extreme. Although they try to stop it, the young, healthy, and ambitious have been slipping out of the country for decades now, not all to the US, many to South and Central America.

consequence - besides the communist government, the core problem that all other problems flow from is that Cuba for the most part is now occupied by the sick, the elderly, and the mentally defective. I suspect that's one reason why the US is in no hurry to push things there; when the current regime falls, there's no human capital there worth working with.

136 The painting is evocative of a mood, just not an interesting scene. Not sure where you would hang it at home although it would do well in an exhibit. But I like the style with its detail, use of color, and how it captures a slow rainy day.

I looked at some of his other paintings on his Wiki page. I am impressed, especially his landscapes. He manages to give that glow like a Maxfield Parrish painting. I suspect polynikes would like his style. (Wild guess on my part.)

And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

I often think of this as I watch the hummingbirds flit about our honeysuckle arbor."

I like it. Captures the current and recent past summers in SE PA. Hot and humid, absolutely miserable unless one can escape... perhaps to the shore or Pocono mountains. (Pass on the latter if relatively normal).

The artist has a lovely and extensive body of work.

Wikipedia, in part: Santiago Rusiñol, (Spanish: Barcelona 25 February 1861 – Aranjuez 13 June 1931) was a Spanish painter, poet, journalist, collector and playwright. He was one of the leaders of the Catalan modernisme movement. [2] He created more than a thousand paintings and wrote numerous works in Spanish and Catalan.

It makes one problem go away but it amplifies the political and social one which involves "you are what you think you are and society is forced to bow down" - otherwise they might send the wrong message to "the children".

Imagine the WNBA telling a boy he's in fact not a girl because he doesn't have the requisite parts? Indoctrination evaporates. What a palaver.

Here in Switzerland the small villages in the middle of nowhere have everything and are an amazing place to live. I have 10gbit fiber internet, train, bus, poste office, school, restaurants and a super market in a village of 1000 habitants in the middle of a valley away from the cities.”

This guy thinks having internet, a school, a supermarket and some restaurants in a small town doesn’t exist in the US. Lol

Because almost all major U.S. airports are publicly owned by city or regional governments, the airport management governs the leases, footprint, and policies of the chapel. They treat chapels as leased or designated operational spaces, not self-governing sanctuaries.

Because airports are nonpublic forums, airport authorities regularly step in to regulate or alter chapel use based on safety, crowd control, and structural neutrality.

Legally, the doors cannot be locked or restricted to exclude the public, thus U.S. Rep. Chip Roy's inquiry.

While a chapel may be located deep past a TSA checkpoint, the space itself remains entirely under the jurisdiction of the municipal airport authority, which balances travelers' religious freedom with terminal safety and operational flow.

TSA's only involvement is ensuring that anyone entering a chapel located on the airside (post-security) has been successfully screened.
