Anti-American Operative Thomas Massie Demands Impeachment of Pete Hegseth; Pete Hegseth Blasts Him
Yesterday I worried when I saw that Pete Hegseth would be delivering an address today. I feared he would be announcing his withdrawal from the administration.
I guess he still might do that but it's more likely he was announcing his coming rebuttal of Thomas Massie's latest screed against him.Massie's argument was that Pete Hegseth should be impeached for limiting lawyers' ability to veto operations or impose lethal restrictions on troops fighting for America. A veteran of the Global War on Terror offered his own reaction to Thomas Massie's work on behalf of the Caliphate.
A former military lawyer notes that Massie continues whining that the US attacked narcoterrorists smuggling drugs to the US by boat without having a lawyer give them permission. It's always, ALWAYS drugs with these fucking hippies.
InfantryDort
@infantrydort Nah man. I'm not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can't. I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately. We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly. Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him. His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that's not good. GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could. We were lectured for years about "courageous restraint." We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation. And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand. So spare me the sermon about how dangerous it is to remove lawyers who think their job is to become a veto point over command. Spare me the sudden reverence for process from people who watched Afghanistan collapse, watched thirteen Americans die at Abbey Gate, watched the Taliban retake Kabul, and somehow found no constitutional apocalypse worthy of impeachment then. Now the outrage is that the machine is actually being used. That commanders are expected to command. And that enemies are being treated like.... actual enemies for once. That civilian leadership is telling the bureaucracy to get the hell out of the way of lawful military action. From where I sit, the betrayal isn't that Washington finally found some aggression for a change. The realest betrayal is that men like Massie still think the lesson of the GWOT was that we needed more hesitation.
No. WE NEEDED MORE VICTORY. And I'm done pretending those are the same thing. We're all done with it. Massie is dead wrong here, he knows it, you know it, and I know it. Sincerely,
-A seriously disgruntled GWOT vet who knows Hegseth is the cure to what ails our military here.
- Article IV. The basis for the next article is a claim that: "Secretary Hegseth willfully and systemically refused to comply with laws and directives mandated for the protection of civilians during the commission of armed conflict, chilled and rendered ineffective such components to prevent and mitigate harm to civilians, and therefore, foreseeably effected the death and injury of over 200 civilians [referring to the attack reportedly directed against an elementary school in Minab, Iran], to the manifest injury of the United States." Tbh nearly every line of this article misrepresents various aspects of international AND domestic law in such an egregious manner that I'm tempted to do a deep-dive on just Article IV. Maybe there will be an opportunity to do so at some point in the future. For now, I'll just focus on the core of this allegation: that SECWAR Hegseth failed to comply with legal "obligations" involving civilian harm mitigation & reduction (CHMR). ...Massie is also crying that Trump "kidnapped" Maduro, who again is a federally indicted drug-trafficker and therefore is a being deserving of special protection by nasty drug-obsessed hippie douchebags.
The MAIN point to address here is that Congress doesn't possess the constitutional authority to FORCE DoW to implement specific CHMR practices. Congress can appropriate funds for such practices (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 12). And Congress can "make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces" (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 14). But POTUS is appointed as commander-in-chief of the military (Art. II, Sec. 2, Cl. 1). And practices related to civilian harm mitigation & reduction are strictly within the purview of CiC authority since they don't involve making rules for the armed forces (that authority is exercised by adopting the Uniform Code of Military Justice ... more about the UCMJ below). ... - Article V. The essential basis for the next allegation is: "Secretary Hegseth abused the authority and trust vested in him as Secretary of Defense not only by directing the unlawful use of lethal military force, resulting in the summary execution of at least 243 persons in international waters, but also by using his office to compel members of the Armed Forces to carry out such operations under false legal authorities that he caused to be constructed and imposed upon the chain of command." This claim is centered on the campaign of attacks directed against suspected narcoterrorists in international waters. ... The MAIN problem here (out of many) is the assertion that: "By subjecting persons merely suspected of criminal conduct to lethal military force without judicial process, without congressional authorization, and without establishing a lawful basis for treating such persons or vessels as military targets, Secretary Hegseth arrogated to himself and the Executive Branch the roles of judge, jury, and executioner and asserted a unilateral power to determine who may live and who may die." Of course, the "without congressional authorization" element returns us to the analysis from the WPR articles involving the concurrent constitutional powers to "declare war" (Congress) AND engage in "hostilities" (POTUS). Even so, the assertion that suspected narcoterrorists operating drug boats on the High Seas are MERELY "suspected of criminal conduct" is a gross misrepresentation of international law involving the resort to force (jus ad bellum) & domestic implementation thereof. See, this article explicitly acknowledges that an interagency task force developed a classified memo that presented "a legal basis for such strikes" by determining that the "United States is engaged in a noninternational armed conflict (NIAC) with 24 Latin American Designated Terrorist Organizations." Whether one disagrees with this determination or not, the EXECUTIVE BRANCH HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO. And when it DID determine the existence of a noninternational armed conflict against drug cartels, by definition the adversary was no longer merely "suspected of criminal conduct." Yes, trafficking narcotics IS criminal conduct. But saying it is ONLY criminal conduct would be like claiming al-Qaeda operatives are "only" criminals since they're engaged in activity that is against the law. A drug dealer at home is a criminal. A narcotics trafficker on the High Seas that ISN'T part of a group the government has determined to be an adversarial belligerent in a (noninternational) armed conflict is ALSO a criminal. But a narcotrafficker on the High Seas that IS part of a group the government has determined to be an adversarial belligerent is a criminal AND a civilian taking direct part in hostilities (DPH). And what do we do with civilians DPH? Sure, we can detain them - but we can ALSO make them the object of attack pursuant to LOAC. That's what DoW did, that's what SECWAR Hegseth directed, and none of it constitutes a "high Crime or Misdemeanor".
Hegseth's own rebuttal was also unsparing.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley I am reviewing the eight articles on the impeachment of Sec. Pete Hegseth. In my view, six of the eight articles should be nonstarters, including the Iranian articles. Presidents, including Clinton, Obama, and Biden, have asserted the authority to commence such operations... ...Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie said yesterday that he filed the articles because he wants to "litigate" the underlying war powers of Congress. I agree with Massie about the need for Congress to assert its constitutional authority over the declaration of war. However, Trump was acting within the authority long asserted by his predecessor. More importantly... ...Massie is not going to "litigate" the matter through impeachments. Courts have not limited this authority and are unlikely to do so. This is a call for an impeachment by members who tolerated the exercise of the authority by Democratic members... ...It is equally baffling to seek to impeach on the basis of the "kidnapping" of former President Maduro. Trump was acting within the authority recognized by the courts in the Noreiga case. That was, to use Massie's term, "litigated." ...
Hegseth added:
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Tuesday railed against the Republican congressman who introduced articles of impeachment against him and aggressively defended his leadership in the Iran war and other military operations. "What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight, and it's not accountability. It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment," Hegseth said a day after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., put forward the eight impeachment articles. "It's a farce, and it's a stunt, and everybody knows it," Hegseth said during his first Pentagon news conference in six months. The articles accuse Hegseth of waging war in contravention of Congress, carrying out extrajudicial killings tied to boat strikes in the Caribbean against purported drug smugglers and suppressing free speech by targeting Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a military veteran. Massie, a libertarian who lost his Republican primary in May after clashing with President Donald Trump, kicked off the impeachment battle less than a week after a blue-wave midterm that will flip House and Senate control to Democrats.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who is poised to be speaker of the House in the next Congress, on Sunday said Democrats are a "hard yes" on impeaching Hegseth. He reiterated his support on Monday in a press conference.
"This is not patriotism. This is sabotage"Hegseth got a good grade from the boss.
"Pete Hegseth gets an "A" PLUS, PLUS, PLUS for his defense against a disgruntled, angry, defeated, former Congressman, Thomas Massie, a TOTAL LOSER!" Trump posted on Truth Social.
I’ve just watched the press conference by @SecWar @PeteHegseth, and you simply need to watch it yourselves. It is PHENOMENAL 🔥
Truthfully, he nails it. He is absolutely, categorically, 100% correct with what he said. Almost every word of it. And my respect for him has increased exponentially. He is right. Argue with me or him or whoever you want, however you want. Pete Hegseth is right. Here is just a portion of the press conference. The full speech is far too large to post. And there was so much more he said that was simply superb in every word.— Mor Edge Insight (@MorEdge_Insight) November 10, 2026
HEGSETH: "We didn't start this war; Iran did, 47 years ago. President Trump is willing to do what no other President would. He did the tough, right thing — not for politics, but for the safety and the security of the American people. That's leadership." https://t.co/iWTp7Os9dn

Hegseth:

If they want to come for the warriors, they’re going to have to come through me.— Clash Report (@clashreport) November 10, 2026
Tara CoppOh wait, she's not a little girl, she's a middle-aged Karen who, like all middle-aged Karen, has no sex drive but gets OFF on always being both victim and hero at all possible times.
@TaraCopp A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here -- for Hegseth's first press conference in 6 months -- that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It's the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. "This is crazy town" one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that
Hello everybody! I hope you're all healthy and happy and that you've cleared out most of the wreckage we all found ourselves under from last Tuesday night.

The right (including Hegseth) knows that combat is not at all a criminal matter, but an existential one, particularly as you get more granular (the individual warrior vice the US itself).
Combat is combat. Crime is crime. They aren't interchangeable, no matter how much liberals want them to be.

Every time I think Congress has finally scraped the absolute bottom of the barrel of useless, self-important, backstabbing assholes, you come crawling out from underneath it like a syphilitic fucking sewer rat with a superiority complex and a desperate need for somebody, ANYBODY, to give a shit what you think.
You’ve spent your entire worthless career as a preening, self-righteous little bitch who never actually did a goddamn thing except clap for the cameras, cash the checks, and jerk yourself off about how principled you are while the rest of the party actually tried to win. You're a walking participation trophy with a congressional pension, the political equivalent of a wet fart in an elevator who somehow convinced himself he's Thomas fucking Jefferson.
And now, for your grand fucking finale, you’re counting “eight impeachable acts” like some pious little altar boy with a hard-on for losing, because Pete Hegseth is effective, the war is going the way your voters wanted, and your colleagues aren’t stupid enough to follow a lame-

-duck loser into a political suicide pact.
Eight! EIGHT! Congratulations, you sanctimonious dipshit. Did you count them all by yourself, or did you need your Democrat buddies to take your shoes off so you could get past ten?
And since you've suddenly appointed yourself the nation's supreme authority on military accountability, let's revisit Lloyd fucking Austin.
The Secretary of Defense vanished into a hospital for days, the President wasn't informed, his own deputy didn't know the full circumstances, and the Pentagon's chain of command looked like a goddamn Three Stooges reunion.
WHERE THE FUCK WAS CAPTAIN ACCOUNTABILITY THEN, YOU SPINELESS, TWO-FACED LITTLE SHITSTAIN?
No impeachment crusade. No constitutional sermon. No theatrical outrage. Apparently your principles were buried somewhere between your pinecone collection and whatever Democrat's ass you were kissing that week.
But Hegseth starts kicking ass, and suddenly the mighty Thomas Massie emerges from his woodland fucking monastery, clutching his impeachment articles like Moses descending Mount Sinai, ready to lecture everybody about constitutional responsibility[. . .]

We are watching out country unravel bit by bit. This is the result of years of marching though the institutions.
It starts where we allowed poison to be taught in our schools. Our "leaders" had multiple opportunities to either cut off or mitigate the left's control of education- universal vouchers, charter schools, etc...
Our leaders were unwilling to fight. They play nice with their "Friends across the aisle."
Instead the "leaders" and "thought leaders" mocked people who pointing out how insane students had become. "They'll change when faced with the real world".
IF we aren't able to retake control of our country and retake control of our education system, the greatest country the world has ever seen will see its demise from internal enemies and feckless leaders.
I have to assume this is what Cicero felt, warning of the demise of the Roman Republic.

The graduate students at Harvard are hilariously on strike - one of them whined that she had to have roommates because her graduate stipend was so low, and another whined that you couldn't raise a family on that stipend.
But Harvard is now suffering a second horrific blow:
"Harvard’s non-tenure-track faculty and researchers will walk out of classrooms and labs Tuesday for the first time, after a final bargaining session Monday ended without a contract agreement with the University."
They're represented by the United Auto Workers, BTW, which has apparently decided that its future lies in representing whiny academics.
The person who posted this announcement is Madeleine Baker, who is currently a College Fellow in the History of Science department at Harvard University, and is of course a tranny.

The drugs and embargoed crude were being shipped to Europe for sale, and the proceeds were laundered through European banks for deposit into Venezuelan military and Cartel banking accounts, where the credit was used for purchasing needed supplies for export to Venezuela, and of course Iran since they combined with Venezuela to "greywash" their own crude.
I am told that the price of Coke in Europe has gotten unpleasantly high, and I suspect this is reflected in US prices as well.

"Massie should be grateful that the Trump Administration gracefully redacted his name from the Epstein files on multiple occasions..."

I know he won't but I dream that Trump will announce he's no longer protecting Democrats in DC, and instantly release the full, unredacted:
- Epstein files
- Covid files
- Mar a Lago files (that they seized)
- WH visitor logs of Obama and Biden--and for Biden's "vacation" house
- The Congressional Sexual Harassment Slush Fund (Treasury still had to issue those checks)
- Biden financial SAR and all investigations
- Hillary emails

The Morning Rant: John Thune (And Others) Must Go!
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is driving the effort and has collected the five signatures needed to request a meeting of the full conference, The Hill reported. Republicans Ted Budd of North Carolina, Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah and John Kennedy of Louisiana signed his letter, according to Axios. Two other Republicans, Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania and Jim Banks of Indiana, endorsed the delay in their own statements without signing, Bloomberg reported. Johnson called Tuesday’s outcome a “stunning defeat” in the letter, The Hill reported, and has argued that rushing the vote would be “political malpractice,” according to the Federalist. Johnson wants the conference to examine what went wrong before it installs a leadership team. “If you hold the election, I’ll leave the room,” Johnson told a Washington Examiner reporter Monday. “An election defeat of this magnitude demands change,” he added on X.
That bolded part is vital. The Republican Party failed in many ways, and while the blame does not rest solely with the feckless Senate leadership, John Thune's failure should be the catalyst for an examination of how the Republicans in the Senate support the administration's goals and how they respond to the American people's support for popular legislation. Managing the decline is no longer an option! Although if an election cycle as a minority party will purge the Senate of its pathetic Corporate GOP placeholders, perhaps that would be worth it. Regardless, the idea of the maverick has damaged the prospects of the Republican Party, and the purge should be swift and violent and all-encompassing. The left operates in lockstep, and savagely punishes the outliers who disturb the carefully crafted image of a unified party. That is why the emergence of the DSA is so disturbing...their party hierarchy cannot control them! And that is a good thing for the Republican Party and the conservative movement. But...the left never loses sight of its goals, and they will eventually integrate the DSA and its far-left analogues into the Party, or perhaps it will be the other way around. But either way, the path is always toward unity. That is a lesson that has evaded the Republican leadership. JD Vance came from the Senate, and as vice-president he could have been a vital bridge between the administration and the Senate, but that would have required loyalty to the President and the goals of the American people, and he would have had to sublimate his own political goals...something he has clearly not done. President Trump could have been more collaborative with the Senate, and perhaps that would have changed the trajectory of the SAVE Act defeat. But that is asking him to change his spots, and is simply not a reasonable expectation. And, after all, the President is the de facto head of the Party, and has every right to expect loyalty to his strategic vision, especially when it is supported by the vast majority of the American people! But that requires a sea change in the way Republican lawmakers see themselves, and the voters must speak loudly and forcefully for that to occur! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. And if you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow me it would be much appreciated!

UPDATE: 30 companies have now confirmed they will not advertise on the “I’ve had it” podcast after hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan laughed at Charlie’s m*rder:
Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch, Zenni Optical, Momentous, Honeylove, Casper, HexClad, Ethos, Branch Basics, Ladder, Nutrafol, Jones Road Beauty, ZipRecruiter, PAKA, Ember, BetterHelp, Primal Queen, Monarch Money, iRestore, HomeServe, Ridge Wallet, Lola Blankets, NOBL Travel, Dupe, One Skin, IQbar, Quince, Cozy Earth, ASPCA
I know the Ace podcast went kaput...but maybe give it another shot? Think of all the hobo pelt and shelf sponsors dying to do promos!
It's funny that anti capitalist commies can get advertisers like these, and conservative podcasters usually are struggling just to get coffee, gold, and vitamin sponsors. Though Boll and Branch was a longtime Rush sponsor, and I know Cozy Earth advertises with some conservatives.

"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."
Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.
They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.
Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.
At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.
It's not because they were harassed. It's because these women are toxic.
But hey if you're a little company, just drop these hateful hags a message bashing Charlie. Maybe that'll get you a free ad read.

People who have been in DC for decades know far better than we do how the DC game is played and who is pulling strings and writing checks.
We are the insurgents and Thune and many others are the entrenched establishment. Tim Burchett, a somewhat low key but a guy most definitely on our side in the House, announced yesterday that he wanted Marsha Blackburn to appoint him to her former seat in the Senate after she left to be governor of Tennessee. Thune immediately came out against him.
Not a chance in hell Trump or God Almighty was going to make Thune and his establishment pals pass the Save Act. It was the simplest and most obvious thing they could do to please 80% of the country. So they didn't do it.

Glad Davey got in there.
In 2025 and 2026, during Donald Trump's second administration, the deployment of surrogates has shifted to when, what, where?
Federal agency overhauls, the Great American Recovery Initiate, maternal and healthcare initiatives, legal and border enforcements, defending birthright citizenship restrictions, Melania and her focus on foster children, her focus on Ukraine and Russia, the frigging fact Trump HAD to do something with Iran, not in keeping with O's turning his back on our nation, and on and on the administration fights. Maybe not all perfect in tone or goal. But always trying for this nation, and the administration should be lauded for it.
Where are the surrogates? Far and few between and msm will never help.
T & his administration gets used to fix or stabilize a ton of broken or almost broken shit in this country and throughout the world, and then the knives come out immediately for the next election from all sides.
All, imo.

Conservatives think the GOP is much more conservative than it actually is. I don’t mean the establishment, I mean the common voters. We to k it’s a 9/10 when it’s really a 6/10 on a good day. It is what it is.
For Dems they think their party is a 10/10 and in reality they’re a 9.95 lol. They’re never disappointed.

Don't want to yank this taffy further, but if people vote for someone, that someone is not "foisted" on them (as a whole).
Pitiful options? Sure. The nature of a dead, calcified two-party "system". The Trump phenomenon clearly illustrates how dead the system is, but also how rebellion can work. Whole lot a rebellion going to be needed - and not just in presidential cycles - to overwhelm the inertia.
Posted by: rhomboid at November 10, 2026 11:49 AM (U/Byj)
Re-electing Thune to the leadership or any leadership position would be the biggest insult possible to Republican voters and Certainly Trump voters.
It would literally be saying to Republican voters that they will never ever, under any circumstances represent them.
And if that's the case...well, why support or vote for them?
All of this could've been prevented with a cooperative Congress, now the whole country goes down with the Democrats promised Turbo-Biden destruction and inflation.
Welp, I just hope those yuan and Singham Bux were worth selling off your inheritance of freedom.

... both parties, but especially the Republicans, have subscribed to the "next person in line" method of favoring candidates for the presidential nominee. First example of this, Bob Dole.
Dole was also the Republican presidential nominee in the 1996 presidential election and the vice presidential nominee in the 1976 presidential election. Bob Dole was in the military in WWII, sustained a head wound and went into politics.

We saw it yesterday and enjoyed it. Lots of Godzilla goodness. So, many great p[arts and set pieces.
I really liked the opening, where Ghidrah's theme screeches like a repeating musically alarm and the screen opens up to Ghidrah rampaging destruction.
Sent chills up my spine and make think "This is gonna be a good movie."
Surprisingly, the little girl is an excellent actor better than some of the adults.
Is it as good as "Godzilla Minus One"?...no, this is one of those movies where there's too much plot
and it gets in the way sometimes and slows things down.
Still, a very good movie and a fun time at the flicks.
Definitely, worth seeing on the big screen.

The 2028 Senate map looks brutal. Republicans must be shitting bricks on this one; a 60 seat majority is not an unreasonable goal!
Assuming the Democrats need 4 flips to get to 60, what are the realistic targets? Wisconsin, North Carolina, Iowa...Getting a 4th starts seeming tough.
And in 2030....Ted Cruz (TX) getting taken out finally... especially due to the electorate shifting he must be scared shitless now.
It depends what happens in the next two years. If Trump doubles down and democrats run Ossoff, every Republican seat is potentially winnable if Republicans nominate the wrong candidate. You don’t get more red than Mississippi and South Carolina.
During the next two years, the economy for “everyday Americans” is just going to get worse as a consequence of bad decisions Trump and the GOP have already put in place. voters in 2028 will rightly blame Trump for the unfolding disaster. Dems will take the White House and expand their congressional majorities in 2028. The challenge for Dems after 2028 will be to satisfy voters’ unrealistic expectation that Dems will quickly repair the damage Trump has done.

Indeed. I can think of 544 others who need to go, as a feeble start. We can start working through the other ~.5m after those guys break ground on the canal at the Port of Anchorage.
Once they're exhausted, we can start using excavators and paid labor, etc., to get to the Port of New Orleans - while always keeping barracks at job sites for the Lot's Wives who looked back. They can always dig. Every little bit helps.

"George Frederic Watts (23 February 1817 – 1 July 1904) was a British painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement. Watts became famous in his lifetime for his allegorical works, such as Hope and Love and Life. These paintings were intended to form part of an epic symbolic cycle called the "House of Life", in which the emotions and aspirations of life would all be represented in a universal symbolic language."

Lyre with One String: Symbolizes the fragility of hope; despite the damage, the remaining string suggests that there is still potential for beauty and music in life.

The universal themes in this are subtle but clear and have been used throughout literature. This could be Alfred the Great and his meeting with the Virgin Mary when on the brink of annihilation from invaders. It could be Samwise in Mordor seeing the one distant star untouched by darkness and despair. It could be anyone who has prayed at the bed of a loved one in peril.
An alternate title could be Faith.

This is how far the Democrat lawfare agenda has already escalated:
Ayanna Pressley wants Republicans held accountable for "crimes against humanity."
"Starving, hungry children. Denying people essential health care. The list is long."
This was after listing other punishable offenses such as "Black women pushed out of the workforce," tariffs and the unemployment rate.
In other words: It doesn't matter what the grievances are, Democrats want them contorted into prosecutable crimes.

The communist New York City mayor has quietly been asking President Trump's team to release individuals held in ICE custody, according to a Monday report from Politico.
Sources and quotes from Mamdani himself show that his inexplicably cordial relationship with the President had previously expanded into an open line of communication on specific immigration enforcement issues. According to Politico, that communication came through former Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

Jennifer Welch says her advertisers were "harassed" into dropping the show.
"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."
Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.
They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.
Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.
At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.

Litany are the worst kind.
She's been suspended since 2020.
"Judge Kahlilia Davis was accused of abusing court powers and interfering in the work and livelihood of a process server for the court, even lying under oath. In 2020, the Michigan Supreme Court suspended Davis for failing to keep a video record of the court cases in violation of Michigan Court rules.
Following that 2020 suspension, Davis made headlines again in 2022 when the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission found her unfit to serve. She purposely unplugged courtroom recording equipment, threatened coworkers (even using Bible verses to do so!), used a fake handicap placard so she could park closer to buildings, lied under oath, and abused other court powers."

I guess this is not the same brewery in WI that said they would offer free beer if Trump was killed? That one lost their liquor license.

The Morning Report — 11/10 /26
President Donald Trump declared Monday that Iran’s military is effectively defeated and another U.S. offensive appears unlikely, signaling that the months-long conflict could soon end following talks with Qatar’s prime minister.Gee, and such perfect timing the welcome announcement coming as it does precisely a week after the midterm elections where the conflict in Iran was in many quarters a campaign issue that in sone ways rightly or wrongly contributed to the disastrous showing for the GOP. Will there be an official surrender on board the deck of the USS Missouri, conveniently parked somewhere in the Strait of Hormuz so that the Houthis can attack it a la the USS Cole with Islamikaze suicide boats? And no doubt Iran's renewal of its efforts to build nuclear weapons will go the way of its Mullah-controlled government — that is it will ramp up yet again. On this fercockter sour note, yes it's not just the lyrics but it's also the fact that the music that it engendered included the vomitus inducing screeches of Yoko Ono. And so we go from the President's declaration on Iran to this madness about the border and immigration policy. I mean what the ever-loving Effing hell?!
President Donald Trump denied Monday that his administration is considering amnesty for illegal immigrants, clarifying remarks he made in an interview over the weekend suggesting he might be open to striking a deal with Democrats. During an interview with 60 Minutes, the president told CBS News’ Ross Douthat that he would “love” to work with Democrats on immigration, said the issue had both “helped and hurt” him in the midterms, and suggested that he might allow certain illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.Working with the Democrats is the exact same thing as working with Hamas and Iran's Mullahs. Maybe, maybe they'll throw you some sort of a bone that has a huge string attached to it but in the next two years, if they can't actually impeach convict and remove you from office — remember they now control both chambers and they're on a mission from ...Satan... as they have been for years — they will do everything they can to completely undermine you by any and every means at their disposal. Because the real goal is not just removing you as their bête noire but removing every last vestige of America as founded, that is whatever yet remains of it, so they can cement absolute power generationally and forever.
Every generation of Americans is told that some emergency justifies setting the Constitution aside just this once. Today’s “emergency” comes with a slogan: saving democracy. Strip away the branding, and the Democrat Party’s structural agenda looks like something entirely different—and reminiscent of the old Bolsheviki power play 100 years ago but recast for gaining control of U.S. institutions. Two new states, a packed Supreme Court, the end of the filibuster, an end run around the Electoral College, federal control of elections, and a government apparatus for policing “disinformation” are not a plan to save democracy. Taken together, they are a plan to make a future Democrat Party majority permanent. That was the Bolsheviki goal, too....THE PATTERN: WIN ONCE, NEVER LOSE AGAIN...THE ACCELERANT: A COLOR REVOLUTION IN WAITING . . . There is a constitutional answer for the Democrats’ plan. Constitutional conservatives do not need to match the Democrats with a plan of their own. We need only insist on the rules the Framers wrote. If DC deserves statehood, if the Electoral College should go, if justices should serve fixed terms, then Democrats are free to make that case via constitutional amendments or Article V and persuade three-quarters of the states to agree. They know they cannot, and that is exactly why they are trying to go around it. The rest of us, in South Dakota and across the country, should refuse to let them.The Constitution is what they've wiped their ass with for nearly 200 years now. There is nothing to stop them. The courts. please that is their first line of defense!!! So the question is How many divisions do they have? No really, should we God-Forbid wind up with a POTUS Titty-Caca AOC and VOP El-Sayed in the not too distant future, they'd have the military, would they obey their orders? More to the point is that the question really is How many divisions do WE have?! On these sour notes, one final thought: Tom Massie is a Titanic reeking, abject piece of shit.
Some people can take a hint. Soon-to-be former Rep. Thomas Massie is not one of those people. Voters in his Kentucky district sent him packing on May 19, and he seems intent on breaking whatever he can before he leaves at the end of the year. He does not even have the leverage to say he could have won a district Republicans lost on Tuesday. The man who defeated him in the Republican primary, Ed Gallerin, beat his Democrat challenger in the general by 13 points. Now he is going out with a bang, forcing an impeachment vote on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth this Wednesday. From his office: Massie is doing this because he doesn't dare do what he really wants to do: introduce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. It is even more obvious since pretty much every one of the "high crimes and misdemeanors" listed by Massie are things Hegseth either did under orders from the Commander in Chief or with his approval.As horrendous as last Tuesday was, if by some miracle we not only survive the aftermath but it it also leads to the complete evisceration of the GOP of cancerous lesions like Massie, Thune, et al and the restoration of a real pro-American anti-Leftist party we can rally behind then perhaps it will all be worth it. Until then, hunker down, and God bless us all, and despite everything I bid you to have a good day.

...Plus it has a kind of Tower of Babel vibe to it. “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens"
The key phrase follows where God decides to confound their language because He observed that together "there is nothing they can't do" — and that phrase has haunted Torah scholars for millennia.
I have coined the phrase "babelized" to describe any system that is too complex to be understood or properly managed. Like running a nation in a command economy. Which is the direction the former US is heading. Which may be possible with AI ... in theory.
Personally, I see it more spiritualized and AI is the head-fake. Its the joining together the people groups (ref Table of Nations) who were scattered into a mass so that their spiritual princes will be together to pick up on their rebellion against God that they began shortly after The Flood.

Biden proved that they can prop up a cardboard cut-out from a 7/eleven in the WH and the Wizards of Oz could operate without fear of requiring major security.

Dems signed up a bunch of new voters. Republican vote numbers were on par with past midterms. So if those newly signed up Dem voters are legit, then minimal cheating… I tend to think they’re legit. The solution: the GOP needs to sign up a bunch of new voters and get them how… they did it in 24, it can be done again. Start paying Scott Pressler

I'm of the group that believes that human history has a distinct beginning and end that has a foundation in purpose.
To achieve that end, particularly since the war is spiritual not carnal, there are certain requirements. Given that each of the nations (as in Table of Nations) who were separated at Babel have their own spiritual princes (angels/demons/whatever) that a reunion is required — thus there is a physical requirement for the dispersed nations to gather in an economic environment that permits some level of reintegration (physical infrastructure is needed for the humans who are the "hands" of the princes).
Therefore, it is inevitable, indeed a cosmic requirement that immigration is restored to satisfy the time-line.

“Be honest,” retired Lt. Col. James A. “Jamie” Gottschling said when asked what he would tell Moore. “His service in Afghanistan was good. He was a valued member of the brigade staff.” But he added, “It’s disingenuous to say that you led paratroopers in combat or that you did what would be direct action activities in a combat zone.”
Gottschling’s knowledge of Moore’s daily activities in the combat zone adds a firsthand perspective to Spotlight's examination of Moore’s path to Afghanistan, his duties and his combat claims.

It's Amnesty and Ds are pushing really hard on this. The entire DACA program was a fraud, the so called children were 20-30 years old! Many , if not all intruders had fake Birth certificates. And Mex consulate would give them any kind of doc they wanted. That was Obama's time bomb for us. Now they are whining that the "children" did not know, and that they are not responsible. It is a massive amnesty. Rs will lose the little support they have left with this fiasco.

Heck, why put forth the effort? With the shaky Electoral College ground we're now on (picture quicksand), they'll easily wrap up all 3 branches of gov't in '28 and by Jan. 20, 2029, it'll be full steam ahead on amnesty, and voter registrations, for 50 million illegals.

Written by theologian and pastor, Reinhold Niebuhr
In the late '30's or early 40's:
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.

I said constantly that the polls had to be wrong heading into this election - well the polls I hated were right and I was wrong, no way to deny it.
One poll that I hated most said 70% of Texas voters oppose deportation of those without criminal records, outside of immigration violations. They see immigration issues as paperwork crimes, not real crimes.
That’s the headwind we choose to fight if we’re going to continue pushing a “deport everyone!” policy.

They lie, and someone will point out the lie - maybe even scream about the lie - and every single one of their supporters will say "well, you see, it wasn't really a lie, because if you just step through this looking glass, and squint really hard, you can see, reflected across a hundred of the other mirrors in this funhouse of lies, another distant, foggy lie indistinct enough that, if you just turn on your Good People Instagram filter, it kinda looks like it might be true.

I think Rubio and DeSantis have shown they can fight, though differently than Trump. Less effectively? DeSantis racked up a lot of wins in Florida. He fought the Left in creative and daring ways, and showed a relentlessness usually unseen among Republicans. Rubio has shown a total fearlessness of the media. So, yes I think they can fight.
As for Vance, forget it. He's a slick triangulator. Whatever "fight" he shows will be self-serving, without the stamina of conviction.

Take drug cash, buy shit property that needs serious work. Buy materials in drug cash. Pay for your labor using drug cash. Flip property. Use new laundered money to buy less shitty property where there would be questions if paid for with a duffle bag full of money.
Now you have a fresh bankable trail and appear legit and your G Wagon has money source provenance.

In October, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 0.4 percent, seasonally adjusted (SA). The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.3 percent in October (SA).
If you look at the M2 from the BBB and IRA they added around 40%. I think there is still around 10% to 12% more inflation that will need to be baked into the system over the next 2 years.

🇶🇦 TOP TRUMP SOCIAL MEDIA ADVISER ACCUSED OF SECRET QATAR PAYMENTS 🇶🇦
For months, Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz has been waging a holy jihad against pro-Israel commentators critical of Qatar, including Mark Levin, Josh Hammer, Eyal Yakoby, and yours truly, repeatedly insinuating (or outright starting) that we're being paid to promote Israeli interests.
Ironically, just FIVE DAYS AGO, Alex declared, "I don't take any money from Qatar."
Well, the New York Times now reports that his former business partner, Derek Utley, alleges Alex received approximately $500,000 from individuals linked to Qatar through an undisclosed business or consulting arrangement.
What's that cliché about every accusation being a confession?"

It's the fact of the primary that matters. The moment Trump declared his candidacy, his nomination was a foregone conclusion. This was obvious to literally every person in America, and DeSantis would know it better than most.
The only possible """purpose""" for his campaign was to obstruct the presumptive nominee and rake off campaign donations.
Sorry, but that stain ain't coming out in the wash.

What "high crimes and misdemeanors" has Hegseth committed? Kicking out the mentally imbalanced trannies? Requiring officers be in shape instead of doughnut eating fatbodies? War preparations for soldiers?
What, exactly?
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer
The "high crimes and misdemeanors" are simply that the followed Trump's illegal orders (very effectively, by the way). This is the camel's nose under the tent. You get a bi-partisan impeachment through that exposes Trump's crimes in the process, then the next logical step is to impeach Trump. I think that's the deep state color revolution based plan anyway. Massie probably has some really sick stuff that he is being blackmailed on. Or maybe he's just been Tucker Carlsoned.

It doesn't actually matter. Impeachment is political, not criminal.
They can use whatever words they want, and they may get 64 Senators to vote for removal, but I don't think they can get to 67.
That makes impeachment a GIANT waste of their time and political capital and I fully support them spending it here.

We are over-thinking it.
Black bag a few hundred well deserving souls, no more than a thousand before they get it.
Without tripping the "takings clause" in the Bill of Rights, simply apply sanctions against the financiers. You aren't taking the money, they just lose control of it until certain conditions are met. Most billionaires are invested and living off of low-interest loans that they pay off and take the tax right-off. Sanction that shit too.

In all honesty, I’m getting close. I was thinking back to 1976, a young Republican in college and how we knocked on doors til our feet were numb, as volunteers for Reagan’s campaign. Reagan won the TX primary but of course lost to Ford. And then all the volunteering for our side in the decades following. This “vote” has felt like a death in the family. I wake up on Wednesday and my beloved home state is now CA? A gut punch doesn’t come close, it’s more like a wooden stake through the heart with no anesthesia. TX was blue way back in the day, but it was a blue dog blue, not a red-green alliance blue. What’s coming in what should have been my golden years scares me to death. We were the crown jewel the left salivated over. And they stole it. I don’t know where we go from here. (Getting rid of Thune would be a start)

Key points:
The FDA requirement applies to one dozen GLP-1 drugs approved since 2005, including Eli Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound and Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy.
NAION is caused by decreased blood flow to the front part of the optic nerve, though the underlying cause is not fully understood.
An FDA analysis of clinical trials found a NAION rate of 6.4 per 100,000 patients treated with a GLP-1 compared to 3.8 per 100,000 in comparison groups.
Of 15 probable NAION cases identified in clinical trials, 10 were in patients treated with GLP-1s and five were in patients who received a placebo.
The FDA did not find any cases of NAION in patients receiving other types of glucose-lowering drugs.

The fees are required to go up. Banks have expenses.
Also 10% is arbitrary there is no science other than the art of grabbing a number out of one's ass.
The fluctuating interest rates reflect a very well understood science of actuarial, credit-risk, Fed rates, money supply, transactional volume, average balances, risk pool, KYC, etc.
Declaring by fiat that a Second Chance prospective credit builder is going to have the same discipline as a well established occasional card user who clears the balance each period should be treated as identical risk-reward accounts is absolute folly and should be stopped by the 5th Amendment.

The lesson - do not listen to commies even when they say something you believe is true.
We are ALL targets and it works. Even the fake story about Sayed not passing background checks was seeded by them. Not us. All part of it, they're ALL commies, stay frosty.

"I'm mad, I'm petty, and I'm gay."
And that's his rationale for impeachiing Hegseth and anyone else he can name. What an effing moron.
The word "like" was salted throughout his mad, petty, gay rant.

I have a very clear memory from army basic training. I’m a military newbie and clueless… we’re doing calisthenics and a lieutenant walks by me and says “we’re gonna get you in shape, private”…. I made the mistake of assuming that he was being friendly and so I responded with an enthusiastic “that’s great”…. He was not happy that I dared speak to him so he got in my face and uttered only one word and it was clear he was unhappy with me. That one word: Buddy!
Clearly he was communicating that I was not and never would be his buddy haha

Stay close with you and yours, do what you think is necessary to bet buttoned up if you need to, and prepare to ride out whatever comes next. Your 'things I care about' circle should shrink down to whatever you can manage with only your closest people.

There's more to the story about the midterms than "turnout." The Democrats learned a lot from 2020 and did not make the same mistakes Nov. 3.
20 million + (R) voters didn't change their minds.

I agree completely. My comments about what happened in Texas boil down to this - Democrats ran a brilliant underground campaign that we never noticed and never responded to, and our lack of response gave them credibility. Abbot thought he could coast to a 4th term without even trying - and we see the result.

Don't blame Tucker. He was trying to help Republicans when he abandoned the party, then fabricated a story on the eve of the election that Trump wants to drop a nuke and start WWIII, destroying the entire world.
And don't say this influenced anyone. It was only viewed 100 million times.

"The big picture: The plan is for libertarians to claim dibs on the "America First" agenda, mainly focusing on anti-war sentiment.
Organizers believe they can build consensus among supporters of the MAGA wing that's closer to Tucker Carlson, former Trump official Joe Kent and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), as well as disillusioned "Make America Healthy Again" activists and populist-inclined voters on the right and left." (Much more follows.)
Bingo!

I wondered, What is Red Seat Ventures and how is it tied to Tucker Carlson, MTG, etc.?
Reportedly, Fox Corp. acquired Red Seat Ventures, a media company that specializes in right-leaning podcasts and live events.
AI Overview: Founded by media executives Chris and Kevin Balfe, the company builds the "back-end" monetization machinery (such as ad placement, premium subscription tech, and and live events like CrimeCon) for personality-driven networks.
Posted by: L - No nic... at November 10, 2026 11:11 AM (NFX2v)
Red Seat Ventures, a division of Fox Corp's Tubi Media Group, operates a network of shows from personalities including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly and Piers Morgan.
Now, as part its parent company's ongoing push to capitalize on the creator economy, Red Seat is looking to empower any podcast creator to make money with Speakeasy: a new owned-and-operated platform developed within Fox aimed at providing creators with monetization, hosting and distribution services — all in one place." Massie could very well sign on.
Also, By refiling his paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), he explicitly authorized his principal campaign committee to continue raising money and entered into a joint fundraising arrangement to distribute political donations. (Daily Caller +1)
Massie stated on social media that keeping the committee active allows him to fund his ongoing political operations, cover costs associated with his remaining time as a current officeholder, and maintain a financial war chest for whatever federal office he ultimately decides to pursue in 2028.

Fulton, who was on a salary of $195,000 per year as a lead in the Protocol Support team, is seeking unspecified damages from the Ethereum Foundation.

2016: Trump derangement. Ascendant sociopathy. Race riots. Evil politicians. Everyone's a perv. Movies suck. Music sucks. TV is going away.
2026: Still almost exactly that, with no discernible change whatsoever
America has literally just lost a decade. We used to become a whole new culture every ten years, to the point where we definitively marked cultural shifts by naming them numerically after decades, at least for the last ten of them or so.

Cool and dry (well, as dry as a swamp can get) with some wind this am. Good workout weather.
I dreamed that I was going to look at a condo property in the east part of the city, an area where no one with sanity lives or even visits if he can help it. It took me an hour in traffic to get back to my current place from the realty office, and it would take another hour to drive back out to the evening appointment. (Dream plotting.) I was getting ready to call them and cancel when I woke up.

If we were able to kidnap somebody from 1965 and plunk them down 2025 I think they would rapidly adapt since the core of technology/ Life in a western country is somewhat consistent even though the details are radically different.
On the other hand, if you were to take somebody from 1910 and plunk them down in 1965, I think there is a case to be made. They would not fare as well.

The photo at the top of the ONT shows a whole bunch of people who were adults in 1936 ([Top photo: Herald Square, 34th and Broadway, Manhattan - Berenice Abbott photo - 1936]), pretty much halfway between 1910 and 1965. There's so much that looks like today and so much that doesn't.

In photos, the clothing on everyday people has not changed since the early '90s. T-shirts and shorts everywhere, business casual in offices, suits and ties in most formal settings. They all look much the same now as they did in '92. Whereas the difference between 1935 (the ONT's pics) and, say, 1965 was great. Ditto between '65 and '75, and '75 and '85.

The environmental implications of relying on gas-fired generators have also attracted criticism. “This is pretty grim—these kinds of generators are terrible for the environment.” Shakeel Hashim, founder of ReadTransformer, tweeted, commenting on Anthropic's purchase. His reaction points to an issue Anthropic will have to contend with as it expands its power infrastructure: securing electricity quickly does not remove the environmental costs of generating it.
How are gas-powered generators worse for the environment when so many power plants across the world are using the same technology?
Me thinks Shakeel is a full of sheet grifter.

The key phrase follows where God decides to confound their language because He observed that together "there is nothing they can't do" — and that phrase has haunted Torah scholars for millennia.
I have coined the phrase "babelized" to describe any system that is too complex to be understood or properly managed. Like running a nation in a command economy. Which is the direction the former US is heading. Which may be possible with AI ... in theory.
Personally, I see it more spiritualized and AI is the head-fake. Its the joining together the people groups (ref Table of Nations) who were scattered into a mass so that their spiritual princes will be together to pick up on their rebellion against God that they began shortly after The Flood.

My snooty MIL was visiting and he was asking about her childhood, etc. She was raised with 7 siblings in a brownstone in Queens. They had a postage sized back yard, was part of the discussion.
Son innocently asked if this was a tenement and I nearly laughed out loud at her expression. Her mother's family were very wealthy. She said, "Indeed not!"
I spent most of my in-laws visits in FL drinking a LOT of gin at the strike of 5pm, their customary cocktail hour they never missed and I never knew about til I met them. I was the first girl their son ever brought home for dinner.
Have no doubt whatsoever they didn't like the idea of their wayward son (I had nothing to do with that) marrying me. Altho I was a RN with manners and brought good looking genes into the pool.
The Southern Presbyterian part bugged them, no doubt. They got used to me and our wedding was very nice. They preferred my parents to the other's spouse's parents.
When I worked in the newborn nursery my coworkers loved it when they came as my MIL was OCD and drove me insane. She once got on all fours to peer under the fridge and inform me of dust.

It was a glorious run, from the beginning (1910s maybe?) up until the 1970s or 1980s).
There was a very clear demarcation or compartmentalization for subjects, crafts, hobbies, whatever.
Advertising budgets allowed full content articles and they hired subject matter experts and taught them how to write - or had Editors (remember those?).
By the 1990s magazines became very thin, both physically, and thin on content. The World Wide Web made “content creators” who basically did everything for free. No printing or postage costs.

I live in the best place.
I have always lived in the best place, quite simply because I am there.
In the site of my birth there is a sign with the date and a baby photo of me.
In the 150yr old house where two of my classmates lived upstairs, and I had the lower floor apt, it is seriously registered as a historic house. Not because of that neighborhood of history, nay. Because I lived there.
Everyplace,and I am not bullsharting about this, I have lived has been beautiful and I have had a blast living freely. Lucky to have lived on a cattle ranch, the Atlantic beach, and the Rocky mountains. It's all very good.
I hope this ends the war of roses. Home is where the farht is.
Carry on.

When Trump 2.0 was sworn in, inflation was 3%. A year later, in December 2025, it was 2.7%. Trump’s inflation rate is roughly half of Biden’s at the same point, the core rate is the lowest in five years, and the spike is about energy, tied to a war that will eventually end. Biden had 21 straight months above 5%. Trump hasn’t had one.

Two weeks ago I made a small, dumb joke on the ONT, which cob MH took badly, apparently personally.
That was bad enough, but he added that he was 'sick of [my] $#!+,' suggesting I had some history of giving him $#!+ or somehow stirring $#!+ on the board, or something, which was news to me. (And then our respected and loved cob emeritius retired, again. Hm.)
I may not be one of the gold-card Morons, nor have any expertise to contribute, nor even be noticed if I'm around or not, but I had thought I have been around long enough, and jocularly enough, to be understood as a harmless cardboard-card Moron in fair if not good standing.
This accusation dampened my enjoyment of the blog, expecially in participating (about which I've always been shy almost to the point of paranoia), so I took a two-week lurk break.
If I ever seem to be giving anyone grief, I didn't mean it. "I meant the other way" as the punchline goes.
Sorry to burden the ONT with this. Nuff said.

But don't forget that if you made $5k a year you were doing good. The past had much less stuff, too.

@JackStraw I moved to Boston in the mid 80s for college and it was a great time. The city was still a bit shabby but climbing, and you could shop in great thrift stores and find cheap diners. The clubs in Kenmore Square were great fun, and the bottom end of Newbury Street was all used bookstores and record stores. I used to buy my art supplies at a hole in the wall store by Mass. Ave.

Mom was a 1950's housewife, with five kids, and did absolutely everything she couldn't make us do. She worked a glamour job at Northwest Orient Airlines in Seattle until she married. After that, no more job.
Then along came the 1970's, the youngest was in third grade, and she went back to work running my father's engineering practice. Women's liberation and all that. Plus, we were old enough to run most of the house and garden and were pressed into service to do so. Both folks took off two weeks during moose hunting season to: get the moose, process the moose, freeze the moose, make the sausage, etc. All hands on deck.
I remember taking exactly one real vacation, when my oldest sister went off to college.

My mother always told us if we heard voices calling us from the back of the property to come to them that we should never heed the voices (which seems a strange thing to hear as an adult, but as a kid, we just accepted it).
When I was maybe 12 years old, the next younger brother (around 9 years old) and I were outside playing, 100ft or so from the house. Suddenly we BOTH heard to voice of our mother calling us from far away...from the back of the property, more than 500' away...saying, "[my first name]...[my brother's first name]...Come...Here...Right...Now!...". We both looked at each other and said, frightened, "Did you hear that?"...
We ran to the house and found our mother cooking at the stove, and when we asked if she had called us (but we knew the voices had NOT come from the house), she said, she hadn't, as she'd been cooking...

Just like my wife laughed at my misfortunes, at least my personal ones. She also found stories about my ancestors amusing, and LOLed when I told her the pieced-together story of the ancestor that had a wife and a side woman (my ancestor), and when the wife died, had kids with three sisters, marrying one in the end. When the church wrote in their Marriage Investigation for the marriage to one of the sisters, it mentioned a kid with each sister, and wrote [roughly translated] that "At least he isn't living with the other two..."

Well, I'll tell you this chilling story told to me by my Mother...
When I was small (no older than a year or so), she told us how she felt this evil presence, so prayed so that it would go away. She heard a low growl, then one of the dairy goats (who was in a pen) screamed...it's utter had been clawed deeply by something, and blood and milk were dripping out; the goat had to be put down. Now, it's possible this was a mountain lion, but none had been seen since years earlier my Dad had used a backhoe to bury in a mud cave at the back of the property one had supposedly been using.

Dog and cat are friends. Cleansing your dog's charkras. Or something. I don't know what this is. Fuzzy calf has the zoomies. Kitten thinks the lab's tail is a cat-toy. Young elephant is in grade school bully mode. Spy vs. Spy. Cat is trying to moonwalk and he's better at it than I ever was. Dog accepts his fate at a member of the cat pack. They're celebrating their big win over Duncanthrax. This cat territorial aggression must not stand. And on Sunday, dog rested. Though he also rested Monday through Saturday too.

Oldest got a personal record therein; he excels on hilly courses, and he moved up from 6 or 7th place (regularly) to 5th, which caused his time to be scored for the team.
It was bittersweet for me, because I got to know a few of the seniors who'd really worked hard to get there, and I felt bad at the unfortunate turn of events. But It's kind of a big deal for the oldest to have been 5th as a freshman (10th overall in State in his division).

The Wifey and I were bummed at missing this year's TX MoMe, but had an amazing time in Israel for two weeks -- including getting baptized in the Jordan River (near the spot where the Israelites crossed over that River and John the Baptist baptized Yeshua) by a Messianic Jewish Rabbi (somwhat known for being associated with and a spiritual consultant for "The Chosen").

Puff lost her mother when she was three weeks old. Puppies learn a great deal about how to behave from their mothers. Without the education, she's something of a wild child. While she was curious about things, Puff was a good girl while she was loose.

No, there are no other types of platypus; the duck-billed platypus is the sole living representative of its genus and family.
The name platypus is the official common name, and duck-billed is merely a descriptive adjective added in folklore to characterize its appearance, not to distinguish it from other species.
While the common name implies a duck-like bill, the animal's actual bill is soft, leathery, and skin-covered, containing roughly 40,000 electroreceptors for hunting, which is structurally distinct from a bird's hard, keratinized beak. Early European scientists initially mistook the specimen for a hoax, believing a duck's bill had been sewn onto a mammal, but it was confirmed to be a genuine, unique mammal.

I haven’t had one since I was a little kid, but my nephew had one for several years, who would spend 75% of his time outside. He would occasionally want to see what people were up to, like sitting on the desk right in front of the monitor while I was doing something on their computer.
He also warmed up to me enough to want to come sit in my lap to be petted after a few years of getting to know me.
But the majority of the time that cat was off doing his own thing until he got hungry and then he’d let you know it if you were late filing his bowl.

What type is it? If it is the oldstyle Whirlpool / Amana direct drive, first check the door switch, then if it hums instead of going into drain, it could be either
1) a sock caught in the pump jamming the motor
2) the coupler between the motor and the transmission has borked itself and possibly the drive shaft - you will hear the motor spin and nothing happening
3) the transmission is borked. This may be the main plastic transmission gear is stripped out, though it is more likely the neutral gear assembly.
There is also the possibility that the condenser is bad, but that rarely happens.
try . . . turning it off for 10 minutes, unplugging it, and then plug it back in, pull the knob back out, and then rock it back on the back legs and let it drop an inch or two to see if that will bump start it.
A repair is between 20 bucks and 200, plus the service call, so it might be better to get it fixed.
Then again, it might be electronic, and I can't help you. You may have to get it exorcised.

Venezuela was centralized in Maduro, his head of the Militia, His security chief, and a network of generals who made the drugs and embargoed oil run on time to finance the military and the network of cartels that ran into Colombia - most of the drugs were being shipped to Europe, where I am told now that the cost of blow is unpleasantly high.
Snatching Maduro and blowing up the fastboats blew that one up.
Iran is decentralized in its "mosaic defense" and it is more like winkling out each bitter ender who is acting now like a warlord, each one.

We were lectured for years about “courageous restraint.” We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation.
And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand.

There's a reason they are going after Hegseth and Trump knows it. Taking out Hegseth would be the first step in going after Trump. Their fates are largely tied together.
Hegseth's presser tomorrow is going to be a don't miss event.

Check the warranty for Speed Queen machines before buying one.
Family members called for service after a bad problem with a washer which was not old.
They were told using bleach voids the warranty and it would cost more to repair it than the cost of a new one.
These days check warranties for anything you want to buy. The manufacturers for most things want to fuck you over.

Trump:
"Defeated Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a total loser, is trying to Impeach perhaps the most popular and successful military official in the Country, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. With recruitment at an ALL-TIME HIGH, from an all-time low under Sleepy Joe Biden, and TWO VICTORIES, Venezuela and Iran, Pete Hegseth should be praised, not Impeached." 🔥

Days after winning the Texas House and the governor's mansion for the first time in DECADES, they went STRAGIHT for Second Amendment rights
They include:
- SB 80: Ban on "assault weapons," including possession
- HB 173 and others: FELONY to transfer many semiautomatic rifles to adults under 21
- HB 712: Lets cities and counties chip away at statewide gun protections
- HB 613: Background checks on private gun sales
- HB 659: Dealers must report people who buy multiple guns or magazines
HB 218 would also repeal the 2025 Texas law that BANNED red flag orders."

However, IF President Trump does indeed give amnesty and stop deporting. IF he is giving Sec Hegseth the boot; I guess depression will finally meet me briefly.
I will go throw rocks at squirrels or something.
I spent an hour talking to #2 son who is the most like me and my father. Both sons are funny but this one, oh, boy. He's the one who could not sit next to me in church or at funerals as we think the same when something happens.
I was telling him about the Honey Boo Boo weak branch of family tree, recent sightings, and he was laughing. Then he asked if they will be at the future funeral and I said, "Oh, probably."

My brothers and I have always reached a point where we are "normal." Aka, laughing inappropriately.
We are now seeing our very independent mother become our 95yr old grandmother. It is freaky, this same path she's taking.
He said he could hear her yelling in the background that, "I"m going NOWHERE" when an x-ray was mentioned. She'll complain of her pain scale being 8 while she's eating & watching tv laughing. It was explained to her in both the hospital & rehab.
We have no problem with her taking as many drugs as she wants, altho it is confusing she walked with PT in rehab (as grandmother did) & refuses now.
We also have no problem with her staying in bed.
While I hope I won't live this long (my husband and sons all say they can make this happen), she was 100% mentally competent a few weeks ago & no one is going to stop her from doing what she wants.
She was very jolly with her grandson (our boy) and great-grands yesterday on the phone, for example. hic

Ooof -- I hope he's not stepping down. Rumor is that Trump blames him for the Iran war continuing.
Mary Margaret OlohanSome Republicans are calling for a delay in the elections for Senate leadership -- to give challengers to John Thune the chance to announce their candidacies and start lobbying.
@MaryMargOlohan NEWS: Pete Hegseth tells reporters he will hold a press conference at the Pentagon tomorrow morning.
Sen. Dave McCormick (Pa.), a more moderate Republican from a key battleground state, is endorsing a call by conservative Senate GOP colleagues to delay the party's leadership elections scheduled for Tuesday. "As I've shared with Leader Thune, I don't believe we should move to leadership elections until we have digested and debated the lessons of the midterms and how to move forward," McCormick wrote late Sunday in a statement. "We need leadership in place fast, but Tuesday is too soon." "I know it's been the practice to go straight to leadership elections in recent years, but we should not rush it," he added. The Pennsylvania Republican called last week's midterm election "the worst election result" for Republicans "in decades." "We need a discussion about what went wrong, how we fix it, what we stand for, and how our agenda must focus on the concerns of the American people," he wrote online.The DOJ is investigating Hillary Clinton's chief conspiracy theorist for rigging the Alaska election with a fake candidate.
key Russiagate lawyer known for his bare-knuckle election and legal tactics has landed at the center of the alleged Democrat plot in the Alaska Senate race to recruit a decoy candidate to siphon votes from their Republican opponent. Marc Elias departed from the Perkins Coie law firm in 2021 and set up his own firm, catering to Democratic Party candidates. About the same time, the Justice Department was investigating its role in the Steele Dossier and its Trump-Russia collusion allegations, and he could face questions about the role his law firm played in representing multiple participants in the alleged scheme to recruit the candidate known as "Decoy Dan" in the Alaska race and whether there was any illegal coordination under federal election law. Elias and his firm, Elias Law Group, were named in the explosive pre-election New York Times report on how campaign officials for Alaska's Democratic senatorial candidate Mary Peltola coordinated with Democratic operatives and aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to recruit the decoy, Daniel J. Sullivan, whose name is nearly identical to incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan.

So effectively, taxpayers are literally funding the college degrees of an army of women who then staff the NGOs and advocacy shops actively wrecking the country.
Helen Andrews was right.
15 years after taking student loans, men have paid them down substantially compared to women who have barely made a dent. Lower pay, longer career exits, and especially the 2007 Public Service Loan Forgiveness racket which erases the debt for employees of nonprofits or a 501(c)(3). So effectively, taxpayers are literally funding the college degrees of an army of women who then staff the NGOs and advocacy shops actively wrecking the country. If these women had to pay for their own education with their own careers instead of offloading it onto everyone else, they surely wouldn’t outnumber men on campus.— Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) November 5, 2026

Well, we certainly annihilated Iran's military and leadership with minimal losses, so from a narrow lens, it looks good. The bigger question is- what did Hegseth and the senior staff predict would happen. If the intel they pitched was Iran would collapse or negotiate quickly, and they didn't, which led to the war dragging on, or maybe issues with munitions management slowing the prosecution of the war to drag it out...I can see Hegseth rightfully getting the blame.

And, from what I understand, he did push hard for attacking Iran.
If Hegseth had gotten a hold of the Strait a lot quicker we might not be here right now. I think that, and depending on the Kurds to start a rebellion inside Iran, were what has led to the current impasse.

Its counterintuitive, but if you're like an Exxon, you want the government that makes oil expensive and limits supply. They're not wildcatting new oil fields, they already own them.

That could be it.
I do get the feeling Trump felt it was a 'now or never' situation, perhaps because of intel from Iran and also Bibi wanting to go now.
Also Trump had to know the incumbent's party has very little chance of winning in congress at the mid-term, he lived through the 2018 election already, and he had to know it might be rougher this time around.
So he went now, so he wouldn't have to wait and deal with a Dem congress.

With any cabinet nominations for the next 2 years, Trump shouldn't nominate anyone. Just tell the given department heads "this is my friend Ojibwo. He's a coked up child soldier from the Congo. You will carry out Ojibwo's orders to the letter, or you will be reassigned to latrine mainentenance at an under-construction government building in the desert until I find someone who will."
Ojibwo can then issue simple orders like "win this war, Ojibwo commands it," or "bring me the skull of Ilhan Omar, but turned into a pimp chalice for Ojibwo's drank," and so forth.

He's already said no amnesty.
Trump is coming to terms with the fact that the Dems gained an upper hand on immigration because of their tactics in Minnesota which ended up getting two of their protesters killed.
That did not play well in Peoria, apparently.
Trump is, I believe, going for a more low-key approach to ICE enforcement, instead of these big city-wide operations that brought so much heat to the situation.
That doesn't mean Trump is going to bend over and take it from the Dems on immigration.
Blame the rest of the GOP in Congress for not putting Trump's immigration policy into law (like making "Catch & Release" illegal) instead of the executive orders he's had to issue to get the job done. That alone is more of problem in the future than anything you imagine Trump is doing.

How about: During his presidency (2009–2017), Barack Obama oversaw or authorized military operations, air campaigns, and counterterrorism actions across seven primary countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan.
Instead of launching large-scale, prolonged new ground invasions, his administration shifted toward drawing down legacy conflicts while relying heavily on elite special operations forces, air strikes, cyber capabilities, and an extensive global drone campaign.

Fuck's aches that's not even hyperbole, is it? i think he was in his 90s ten years ago already.
There ought to be some kind of provision in the constitution where anyone holds a public office for longer than some decent term limit (ten, twelve years, say, let's not get crazy), then when they croak or get voted out, then that public office is liquidated and whatever state or district it represented or served forfeits said service or representation in perpetuity forthwith.

I wouldn't go that far.
They still haven't finished the job.
And I don't mean taking out the mullahs and the IRGC, I mean taking out Pickaxe mountain or any other nuclear-related installation until there is nothing left of their program.
That is the reason we got into this war, and I can go for that, no problem, but Trump's got to finish that part at least, and then let the Iranian people figure the rest out.

Diesel went over $6 mainly because of the attacks on Russia, not Iran.
Oil is priced globally in two prices, WTI here and the Americas, and Brent as the international standard.
Trump could have put out a temporary diesel export ban here in America to lower our prices, but that would have been highly disruptive to our producers and would have sent international prices to the moon, especially in Europe.

Plus he's whipped the military back into shape. No more soy boys looking to climb the ladder and get fat on a paycheck.
If he views hegseth as a traitor that "tricked" him into a war, then Susie wiles is doubly a traitor. She manipulated him behind the scenes for other people's interests. That is becoming clear. And blocked true MAGA people from having access to Trump. Thankfully miller won't behave the same.

Go back to March and look at an interview Rubio gave for the reason for the attack on Iran. They knew that Iran was just developing nukes but an enormous drone and missile inventory they would use to make Iran a nightmare for the region and beyond. He explained it clearly and convincingly. One of his better moments.
If they waited to attack Iran would have had the tools to wage an enormous regional war with the threat of nukes behind it. In that interview Rubio gave the best reason the attack on Iran was necessary. It was either attack then and take down the mullahs or wait until an attack would have meant a much more consequential response likely including ground troops.
The biggest mistake Trump made was not speaking directly and continuously to the American people and telling them this over and over.

But mapping PDJT approval against the war timing, you see Trump's approval was knocked way down at the war start and never recovered.
I think Trump's reputation as the "peace President" was a big plus to him and a political advantage. And he never effectively communicated why he decided to go into war and why then, why not wait until after the midterms and build political support beforehand.

In Red Dawn the Russians had to parachute into the middle of the country.
Tanner elaborates on the military sequence of the invasion:
- The first wave of the Soviet attack arrived disguised as commercial charter flights, similar to the invasion of Afghanistan, deploying crack airborne paratroopers through mountain passes in the Rockies.
- This was coordinated with selective nuclear strikes that destroyed missile silos in the Dakotas and key communication hubs.
- Infiltrators (mostly Cuban) entered illegally from Mexico, opening the door for Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Latin American armies to roll up through the Great Plains.
- The Soviets reinforced with 60 divisions, crossing the Bering Strait into Alaska to cut the oil pipeline and moving down through Canada to link up in the middle of the country.

Nephew of Hardcore Black Racist Leonard Jeffries, Hakeem Jeffries, Says Democrats Won't Work with Trump's New CoS Stephen Miller Because He Gives Them the Ick
They just want to make eggs more affordable.
Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said that his party will not work with Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's new chief of staff, during an appearance on ABC's "This Week" Nov. 8. "There's not going to be any opportunity, certainly, to work with Stephen Miller and what he represents," Jeffries said. Miller was tapped to replace former chief of staff Susie Wiles on Nov. 6 and will step into the role on Nov. 9. He is a long-time advisor to Trump, dating back to his first term, and the top architect of the Trump administration's anti-immigration crackdown.I just want to point out that this racist grifter's racist grifter uncle pushed the most absurd of black racist conspiracy theories and antisemitc claims. But he worked with Uncle Leo.
The president of City College said yesterday that he considered Dr. Leonard Jeffries Jr.'s conduct "racist" and "anti-Semitic," but had decided not to dismiss him as chairman of the black studies department because it would "deepen the sense of crisis on campus." The president, Dr. Bernard W. Harleston, said Dr. Jeffries's dismissal would have produced "conflict," both within the college, where the faculty senate is insistent upon the principle of academic freedom, and in the Harlem community around the college where Dr. Jeffries has supporters. Still, Dr. Harleston said, Dr. Jeffries's behavior was "particularly offensive to me." He said he told Dr. Jeffries that, but declined to disclose the conversation. In an hourlong interview, Dr. Harleston provided the first extended explanation of his handling of Dr. Jeffries, whose speeches and comments have set off a widespread and emotional debate both about the correctness of his claims and his right to make them in the name of academic freedom. Dr. Jeffries attracted public attention with a speech at a state-sponsored cultural conference in Albany in July. In that speech, he accused Jews of financing the slave trade and disparaged Russian Jewry for Hollywood's portrayal of blacks. He also described a colleague as City College's "head Jew" and described Diane Ravitch, an assistant United State Secretary of Education, as a "sophisticated Texas Jew."The New York Times, of course, refuses to tell its readers exactly what this hateful racist was ignorantly preaching. The defunct liberal propaganda magazine Time showed a little leg on Jeffries' claims:
The professor offered the following observations: -- "Russian Jewry had a particular control over the movies, and their financial partners, the Mafia, put together a financial system of destruction of black people." This was "a conspiracy, planned and plotted and programmed out of Hollywood" by "people called Greenberg and Weisberg and Trigliani . . ." -- "Rich Jews" operating in Seville and Lisbon and Hamburg and Newport, R.I., and other cities financed the African slave trade. -- Whites are "pathological," "dirty," "dastardly, devilish folks." Leonard Jeffries, chairman of African-American studies at New York's City College, put on a surreal performance. For long stretches of his speech before an Empire State Black Arts and Cultural Festival in Albany last month, Jeffries made an intense and affecting case for blacks to study African history and learn the buried side of their own stories in America. But he kept veering obsessively back into a snarling racism. Strange to watch: the intelligent angels of his nature were wrestling with nasty little cretins. The cretins won a few rounds. Diane Ravitch, Assistant U.S. Secretary of Education, is a "sophisticated Texas Jew," Jeffries said, "a debonair racist." He repeatedly called her "Miss Daisy." Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., who has written against Afrocentrism, is "a weakling . . . slick and devilish." White people, including "very nice white folks," "distort history in what I call racial pathology. They are as diabolical as that." Jeffries sang out falsetto imitations of various Jews and other whites, manic little strokes of mockery and emasculation. Through it all, he invoked the liberating powers of truth. When he was finished, the audience gave him a rather tired standing ovation. He had gone on for almost two hours.Whenever you hear ignorant black fake academics talking about melanin granting blacks superpowers, or claiming it was really blacks who built the pyramids but then rewrote history to deny them credit for the wonders of the ancient world -- that all comes from Jeffries and his completely-fabricated alt-history conspiracy theory "Afrocentrism." Meanwhile, via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit. the Very Smart and Educated left is digging up dirt on Stephen Miller, including the scandalous fact that he was skeptical of the Duke Rape Hoax claims. These very smart members of the Reality Based Community somehow missed the word "hoax" in "Duke Rape Hoax."

Mariam Odeh, a former staffer on Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign, is currently facing federal charges alongside 11 other anti-Israel activists accused of vandalizing the homes of members of Michigan’s Jewish and pro-Israel community and plotting to poison and murder them and their families.
Jars containing noxious chemicals were thrown into family homes. Windows were smashed. Homes were marked with the Hamas red inverted triangle, designating them as targets for death. One of the accused allegedly threatened to slowly poison a victim once he became a doctor. This would never happen, but imagine if a Jewish staffer for a Jewish candidate targeted Muslims like this. There would be national outrage and we wouldn’t hear the end of it. It would be the end of their campaign and career. Unfortunately, the extreme violence and terrorism of the pro-Palestinian movement and the threat of Islam have been completely normalized in America.— Dr. Maalouf (@realMaalouf) November 2, 2026

Miller and family live on a military base because they wouldn't be safe living out in the world. Senior presidential advisor, now chief of staff (and he/his family aren't the only Trump admin. senior people who have to shelter on military facilities, unable to live in the regular world).
Of course rivers of blood cover the idiot Dems (and their voters, and much of the garbage GOP) here. How many 10s of thousands (100s?) of murders, assaults, rapes, etc committed by illegal aliens who not only shouldn't be here at all, but are sheltered by Dem electeds, cowardly/useless "law enforcement", et al. Released from jail time and again, ICE detainers ignored.
Miller & Co. - simply enforcing the law. Idiots and illegals resisting arrest/interfering with LE get treated just as they are in any other situation. Their blood is on their *own* hands, obviously.

I guess I'm not surprised that black racists would assume everyone in Africa is black. It is not like they have ever visited or moved there, but it remains their talisman that keeps them from facing reality. Pssst--don't tell them Cleopatra was Greek. That might cause their heads to explode.

If blacks in Sub-Saharan Africa built the pyramids, then what happened to them since then?
I suppose it's colonialism and the African slave trade (mostly from West Africa) that ruined them?

Well africans do actually own slavery at least the slaves that went to the British empire and the Americas.
Those slaves most certainly did gather together and walk up to the slave ships at the docks to turn themselves in. They were rounded up by their stronger black brother tribes and sold to the evil white man.
Black Africans own the American slave trade lock stock and barrel.

Don't tell them that it was African blacks who sold African blacks to slave traders. There were no white slave hunters in Africa, because they would end up dead. Probably shouldn't tell them that both American blacks and American Indians owned slaves. I'd hate them to have a reality meltdown. That would be terrible, just terrible.

OMG, this stupidity is an article-of-faith for many black people.
Though... if you want to see what happens when blacks *do* actually build pyramids, go look up the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors.
But beware: this is a hilarious and horrifying (I will call it hilorrifying) rabbit hole... the UNNM was their final form when Dr. Malachi got shipped off to the Supermax to live with the terrorists and mass murderers for the rest of his life. But they (and he) had many names, going back to the 1970s.
Real buck wild shit.
I know a Nuwaubian Moor personally. Through it all, he keeps the faith. Still has his Certificate of Nuwaubian Moor-ness framed on his wall.

Cultural Appropriation.
Hippocrates (5th century BC) in Airs, Waters and Places argued that cold regions produced hardy and fierce people, warm regions produced different temperaments.
Aristotle: Europeans courageous, Asians intelligent but less spirited, Greeks occupied middle ground.
Montesquieu, Ellsworth Huntington, Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs and Steel) also oriented ethnic differences due to climate.

Which makes some sense in a specific way.
The harsh winters of Europe forced whites to cooperate in extraordinary ways to survive through the winter.
Meanwhile people in warmer climes had a lot less to worry about, when they could just walk over to the nearest fruit tree and eat dinner, along with plentiful game to hunt nearly year-round.
That part, I can agree with to an extent.
But Jeffries' Melatonin theory making blacks superior is straight out of the Hitler & KKK playbook.
He started out with a decent theory but turns it into complete racial eugenics propaganda.

Slavery wasn't the worst part of it.
They hung up slaughtered people in various states of disassembly around the palace of tribe leaders of "The Woman King". Dried and caked blood from pre-death torture all around.

Yep. Problem is that the state voted for democrats last week and that means huge tax increases along with new taxes across the board in the state. The governor elect is already talking an income tax along with a wealth tax and that is just the start.
We are going to see an almost immediate push in January to increase both the sales and gas taxes because those are low hanging fruit.

The smarter ones who've actually read a history book, know this.
But like all ideologues if the fact is inconvenient, then it's forgotten.
This is how we've gottne to the point today where the only people who've ever been enslaved on this planet are black West Africans transported to America.
When every half-way intelligent person knows that slavery has existed for tens of thousands of years.
America, itself, from Canada to Argentina had slavery long before Europeans ever arrived, because the natives were steady raiding each other and taking slaves.
And let's not even get into the Muslims and their centuries of slave trading. But nah, it must've been the Jews all along - who as we all know, were slaves in Egypt.

Montesquieu was a political opportunist and political theorist with little to back up his claims, and Jared Diamond is an ornithologist with a specialty in birds who live on isolated islands. Neither of them ever asked "why" without supposing they knew the answer first; both had the medieval view that "this is the nature of things and such may not be moved as such things are essential to being; changing their nature changes what they are, fundamentally"

Trump sounds conciliatory on immigration and Democrats immediately refuse to even speak with his team. Oh well, he tried. I guess it's back to deportations.

Whatever they propose will be a tax on income but it will be called something else. Failing that the sales and gas taxes are easy enough to increase. The newly minted democrats in Texas are going to get their tax increases one way or another they have already said that.

Rightly, or wrongly, the president usually take the blame or credit for the state of the economy.
I expect the economy, with all the headwinds behind it thanks to Trump's policies, will be quite decent in 2028.
Things could happen though, the AI bubble, or sovereign debt crisis around the world for starters.
I'll say, though, if the Republicans want to win the presidency and perhaps take back congress, the economy needs to be humming, and inflation needs to be tamed, with gas prices at a reasonable level.

For Jeffries, Schumer, and their ilk on both sides of the aisle, politics is a corporate job with better than average pay & benefits. They don’t care about us.
I hope everybody here signed the petitions against him and Schumer. And call your reps. If they’re allowed to continue this charade nothing will change. They don’t work for people. Both take Aipac and Wall Street money. They’re bad people. They gotta go.
We are not responsible for Israel! They have healthcare and an education system because of our billions every year. Look around Hakeem, your own country needs that money!
Hakeem has to go. Since the speaker of the house does not have to be a member of the house I vote Stacy Abrams.
A bit astroturfed but I wish he talked about reperations for black people with half as much passion as he does about israel's right to exist.
I wish someone would challenge him for Speaker of the House. This man makes my skin crawl. Also, I recently found a 5000 year old book and it says that land belongs to me. God ordained it. I was chosen. How do I go about kicking everyone out? Genocide? No problem.

IIRC, all of the aid sent to Israel was purely military.
It took me exactly 30 seconds to look this up:
$3.8 billion annually is the standard baseline amount of U.S. foreign aid provided to Israel under the current 2019–2028 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
This annual total is structured as follows:
$3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) grants, which must be used to purchase U.S.-made military equipment.
$500 million specifically designated for joint missile defense programs

Finally: Businesses Drop Sponsorship of Vile Ugly Hag Jennifer Welch After She Celebrates the Murder of Charlie Kirk (For About the Fifth Time)
Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch, and Lola Blankets said on Friday that they no longer sponsor or advertise leftist Jennifer Welch's I've Had It podcast, according to company statements and customer service messages shared online amid backlash. Cash App condemned violence in announcing it was no longer sponsoring the show. Chewy and Lola Blankets addressed their ties to the podcast in responses shared by customers, while Boll & Branch publicly ruled out future advertising. Their statements did not all specify when the sponsorships ended. "We do not condone violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast," Cash App wrote on X in response to a user who tagged the company and called for a boycott over its sponsorship of the episode. "Does Cashapp support the mocking of a murder victim?" the user asked. Chewy said it was no longer connected to the podcast in a customer service response shared by X user Val Candee. "I do want to clarify that Chewy is no longer affiliated with or sponsoring the 'I've Had It' podcast," the representative wrote.
... The hosts had been discussing posts mocking conservative positions on abortion, vaccines, and transgender issues when Welch reached the comment about Kirk. Before reading it, she praised the people writing the posts and said their jokes made her feel patriotic. "We're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again," Welch read. Both hosts lowered their heads and laughed for more than 20 seconds.
In related entertainment news: People have been wondering when James Gunn would be fired as co-president of DC's film division after the divisive Superman and unifying Supergirl. (It unified people in contempt.) People thought that Gunn's move to put the Superman sequel in production early would keep him in the job at least through the film's release. In the industry, this is called the Kathleen Kennedy Gambit. But the gambit didn't work for Gunn.
DC Studios Shocker: James Gunn, Peter Safran Stepping Down with Marvel Alum Jeremy Latcham to Take Over The duo were believed to be safe amid the Skydance takeover of Warner Bros., but now have a former Kevin Feige protege taking over their division. In a major shakeup that will send shock waves throughout Hollywood and the comic book world, James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-CEOs of DC studios. Skydance, which now oversees the division thanks to its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, has appointed former Marvel exec Jeremy Latcham to the post of president and chief creative officer of DC Studios. Gunn and Safran are stepping down from their leadership roles effect Dec. 1, four years after taking over the job to much fanfare. The duo released three movies during that time (Superman, Supergirl and Clayface), as well as three live-action TV shows (The Penguin, Peacemaker season 2 and Lanterns), and had a decade's worth of plans in the works. In an Instagram post in which he talked about the highs and lows at DC, Gunn acknowledged that being an exec was "trying, to say the least." He added: "I dislike the at-times corporate nature of the job (thanks to Peter for taking the brunt of that.)." The duo will still be in the fold creatively, at least on a few projects, as Gunn has Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow in post-production for a planned release next year, with the TV spinoff The People v. Gorilla Grodd also in post. Gunn and Safran remain producers on The Batman: Part II as well, for a 2028 release date. With their executive days done, the plan is for them to return full time to their creative work. Gunn rose to fame as the blockbuster filmmaker behind Guardians of the Galaxy, while Safran is a prolific producer on numerous DC and horror titles. Gunn revealed in his Instagram post Monday that he is writing one more secret DC movie, and that the characters they set up will live on beyond them. "James and Peter launched a new era for DC Studios and led it through a period of real transformation, resetting the foundation and building a slate we're incredibly proud of," Skydance chairman and CEO David Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz said jointly in a statement. "We're grateful for their passion, contributions and commitment to this legendary brand." ... Per Skydance, Latcham will lead DC's film, television and animation slate, overseeing the creative pipeline, along with production, talent and strategy. ... The exit now puts into question the vast plans the duo announced when they took over and tried to steer the DC movies beyond the long shadow cast by the Zack Snyder era. Gunn and Safran started off with the successful launch of a new Superman movie last year but then stumbled big with Supergirl, a critical and commercial bomb. Their third movie, Clayface, has generated strong reviews and is a moneymaker.So the guy who greenlit the racist replacement fantasy "Lanterns" is now out. Good.

Exactly. This little episode is anodyne, by these bitches' standards. The skinnier hag has repeatedly burst into explosive, threatening tirades celebrating the murder and demanding more blood.
Why now? And over this?
My guess: these sponsors have known about their toxicity fir awhile, and were comfortable with it. But midterms are over, and podcasts like theirs are about to lose a lot of steam, with their audience assuaged and no longer seeking Level-11 Nuclear Ragebait.
So it's a convenient excuse to bail before the ad $$$ are wasted, and do a little vurtue signaling, when they were planning to dump the show next month anyway.

I often point out to lefties that should their side lose completely, they would still be encouraged to pursue their beliefs as they saw fit. Nobody from the opposition would keep them from doing the work they deem 'good'.
However, if they were to win completely, nobody else would be free to pursue their own beliefs or goals.

Miller and his family live on a military base, for security. He's not the only administration official who can't live normally - it's a very Third World, war-zone thing.
Yet it's perfectly uncontroversial to incite further with this vile libel. How many 10s of thousands of murders, serious assaults, rapes, etc committed by illegal alien criminals - most of them just let in to the country, protected from ICE even after convicted for a crime, released again and again - have there been, which blood is entirely on the hands of the Dems engaging in this incitement (and their voters, and complicit GOP human garbage).
In many ways, an unrecognizable shithole of a country.

Absolute rubbish, they have no need to apologize and I’m so angered that they did. They usually stand on business.
They didn't originate the joke, and when the killing happened, they were extremely clear that they were opposed to all gun violence in any form.
Meanwhile mainstream media Fox hosts joked about Paul Pelosi being attacked in his home, so maybe everyone holds some responsibility for the current discourse.

It never occurs to Dave that there is no real analogy between those two guys. One is a career criminal, the other is a civil right advocate. If he wanted something closer, where the government arguably executed someone then he could have picked the guy ICE shot, or the J woman who was shot etc... but you still have the fact the fat tub of violence and goo drugged himself to death while the others were trying to protest what they saw as an injustice. He conflates committing injustice with protesting it.
Dave's intention there was to make people hurt in the way he hurt when someone went after Saint Floyd... which tells you a LOT about Dave. White people would think the same of both Floyd and Charlie regardless of their races, but with Dave it is ALL tribal.

Now presuming the boyfriend was crazy with the sex abuse stuff, yeah, he should go to jail and no one should be allowed to assault anyone else with a hammer.

Eh My brother has moved so here goes...Dave Chappelle is a fucking fraud on Race he lived in Yellow Springs Ohio as white bread as they come....my Brother lived about three blocks but by a trick of geography around the corner from Chappelle's property....
Chappelle was a man child, it looked like the most Pee Wee Herman place you could imagine it was up on Zillow for years for I think it was 7.75 million?> He bought it for ~ 275000 IIRC back in the day and hell yeah he improved it some for a neurotic nutjob with easy money.
Anyway they were not best buddies or anything but he was not "hood" at all, he was not particularly an asshole, he was just there....he ordered HaHa Pizza (my brother worked there) he would go shop on occasion at Dark Star comics, but Chappelle is not "BLACK MAN" he is surrounded by hippies and runs into town in Dayton, Springfield, and Cincy from time to time and when MaRon James was in Cleveland would go up there and catch the cavs.....
He has a lot of money but he blows a lot of money, he is funny but a lot of Ohio is funny.

Kirk died because of a cabal of lefties planned out an assassination (it wasn't just tranny chaser boy)
Goode died because she tried to run over a cop.
Pretti died because he assaulted a cop and when they went to arrest him his loaded firearm fell out of his pants and went off leading the cops to shoot him.
So the first was a standard political assassination that the US hasn't had since...Lincoln?
The second was a good shoot.
The third was accidental but the blame goes to Pretti - any firearms instructor will tell you not to bring a gun if you plan on starting a fight

@MrsErikaKirk
To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.

Chappelle is another story entirely. What a POS. I guess because he grew up suburban among white people, he thinks he has to be black supremacist to prove his creds, or some such shit. He is mostly just an ass, and not particularly funny. Ron White is also an ass, but he isn't a racist, and he is, actually, funny. Chappelle should figure out that alienating 85% of his audience by bad-mouthing them is not likely to continue any success he has had so far.
Chappelle is just another source of melanin fatigue.

The part of Superman I find a hardest to believe is that they reverse engineered an alien media and retrieved the garbled part, to unearth the Krypton Uber Alles message.
However, I thought it was an interesting dramatic treatment of that scenario, and how, Kal El was a son of Kansas, no matter the sins of the Father.
I liked the Snyder Man of Steel exploration as well, and dealing with the idea of Superman as an alien threat.
But I think if they combined the two speculations, that would be WAY overkill.

Yeah... I should lay an early bet on a hung jury. Easy money. Someone on that jury will see that furry homo as a freedom fighter. Likely at least 3-4 will.
If the Clancy case had 11 jurors voting to acquit, I don't think there's a great deal of likelihood Robinson will be convicted. They just saw Clancy as a feminist hero, not the children as villains. But I bet the odds don't reflect that reality.

Chappelle was on it when Floyd OD'd while in police custody, talking about how Floyd HAD to be the tallying point for blacks. All I could think was, dude died with fentanyl stuffed up his ass, go on and make a statue of him.
As to Charlie Kirk, Yuddishira up above has the right of it I think. The vitriol worked to get their base excited and now that blog traffic goes back to nothing, corporations can pretend to have a conscience.
But here's the absolute lesson, political violence worked. They killed a couple, their base got the blood lust and then they went out and voted them into office.
Remember 14 months ago, what with all the conservatives telling calling all the left wingers who celebrated a bunch of sickos,? Well, I guess gas got expensive so now the sickos won a whole lot of power last week. Go figure

A gay furry Leftist twink murders Charlie Kirk for routinely defeating liberals in debate. The American Left uniformly cheers.
Donald Trump is hit by an assassin's bullet at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. There are several more attempts on his life. The American Left mourns the failure of their assassins, and cheers the prospect of more to come.

Antifa Bike Group "Bike on Your Left" Leads Leftists in Protest/Boycott Against Israeli Embassy Restaurants Just Owned by Jews
Remember, they're not antisemitic. They have nothing against Jews, nothing!
They just hate Israel. Ask Tuq'r and Me-Again. Except... in a pinch, "protesting" Jews simply for owning restaurants will do in a pinch. Oh, and they might have maybe scheduled this totally-not-antisemitic pogrom for the eve of Kristallnacht. Coincidentally.In some small good news, people supported the restaurants, stopping in to eat or buy gift cards to eat there later, and the antifa antisemites were well-opposed bu non-Nazis.
Three people were arrested Sunday, according to a spokesperson for the Philadelphia Police Department, as about 300 pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with roughly 200 pro-Israeli counterprotesters. Those arrested included a woman on an assault charge, a man on a disorderly conduct charge and a 17-year-old on an assault-on-police charge, according to the spokesperson. Meanwhile, some of the restaurants targeted by the boycott were seeing long lines of customers supporting. By early afternoon, all demonstrators had dispersed, police said, with no property damage reported. On Oct. 31, the group announced plans to boycott what it called "Zionist establishments" in Rittenhouse Square in solidarity with the Palestinian community. Half of the establishments targeted are owned by the Philadelphia restaurant group CookNSolo, whose Israeli co-owners have publicly supported and raised money for Israel. The restaurant group has already been the target of a local "Boycott CookNSolo" campaign that says it protests the restaurateurs for "materially and ideologically support[ing] the ongoing occupation and genocide of Palestinians."
Arrests made, officers injured as massive counter-protests met 'bike boycott' in Rittenhouse Square
A planned "bike boycott" targeting six Jewish-owned restaurants in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square was met with an overwhelming counter-demonstration. The boycott drew sharp criticism for taking place on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht. Despite heated shouting between the boycotters and the pro-business crowds, the demonstrations remained largely peaceful, with three arrests. PHILADELPHIA - Tensions ran high in Rittenhouse Square on Sunday as a planned "bike boycott" targeting Jewish-owned businesses was met with an overwhelming counter-demonstration, drawing massive crowds of patrons who lined the streets. ... In response, a massive community food crawl was organized, resulting in lines that wrapped around city blocks. At Huda, one of the targeted businesses, the outpouring of support was so large that a restaurant partner noted they might not have enough food to feed everyone in line. He encouraged the crowd to return on other days of the week, reminding supporters that businesses need ongoing patronage rather than just a one-day surge. A planned bike rally targeting Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses in Philadelphia has drawn statewide condemnation, with police prioritizing safety. The atmosphere on the streets was highly charged. Participants in the bike boycott, some riding bicycles with their faces covered, others marching on foot, moved through Rittenhouse Square while facing vocal opposition from the pro-business counter-protesters. According to Philadelphia Police, approximately 300 pro-Palestinian demonstrators--including about 200 on bicycles--and 200 pro-Israeli counter-protesters gathered in the square starting around 11 a.m. Sunday, with even more lining the streets. ... There was significant shouting and confrontation between the two sides, and police did confirm three arrests: an adult female for assault, an adult male for disorderly conduct and a 17-year-old male for assault on police. ... Two officers sustained minor injuries while assisting with an apprehension, though neither required medical treatment, police said. Additionally, a female counter-protester reported being assaulted by an unknown individual. ... Dig deeper: The timing of the boycott has drawn sharp criticism, as it was scheduled for the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, which is the 1938 Nazi pogrom that sparked nationwide anti-Jewish riots in Germany. Critics and counter-protesters called the timing deeply unsettling. The organizers of the boycott, however, claimed to be misrepresented. They described themselves as a nonviolent group exercising their First Amendment rights, stating that the connection to the Kristallnacht anniversary was a complete coincidence and that allegations to the contrary were "simply false."Uh-huh.
BREAKING: The Philly Bike Boycott has reportedly ended early because of the overwhelming number of counterprotestors who showed up.

They can wear masks to hide their identity when protesting which usually leads to violence.
But when ICE agents wear masks when enforcing the law, that's bad.......

This is encouraging for a few reasons. First, getting only 300 mutants to a hot-button protest in major blue city on a beautiful fall day is ... not impressive. It's shit.
You can probably get more than 300 people to a rally in Philly for International Dick Kick Day.
Second, the pro-Israel size was pretty good, and not much less than the mutants. I suspect these protestors were undercounted, and the mutants over-counted.

If it is the case and Texas ACTUALLY voted for this crap, we will reap it and there are already those that are planning to move, so get over it. The issue with pissing about moving is we're running VERY low on places to flee.....so at SOME point, it's required to stay and fight. Texas JUST NOW went to the dark side, with there being MANY discrepancies and irregularities in the election........Places like California, New York and Illinois have been blue shitholes for a LONG time, so getting out seems the only thing left.
I will be fighting against it, having already secured countryside in the middle of nowhere and will be working to fortify said position against the impending horde of locusts that are Democrats.

MA's big issue in '26 was allowing the democrat state auditor to audit the legislature
The governor/legislate/judicial branches all stopped in on bullshit technical grounds in '25 so the auditor and people in MA got a ballot initiative together to answer the supposed problems the state gave in stopping her.
It passed by almost 90-10. In the same election those voters also re-elected all the people that stopped the audit.
You'll be shocked to know those same elected officials have already said they are still not going to allow an audit.

Three men of the cloth are describing their problems with mice in their respective houses of worship.
The minister says, "We had a revival meeting and lifted up our concerns to the Lord. But the mice came back."
The priest says, "We had a Rosary and asked Our Lady's intercession. But the mice came back."
The rabbi says, "I gave all the mice bar mitzvah and never saw any of them again."

Somehow they weren't greedy under first Trump, and were greedy enough to keep high priced under second Trump but not greedy enough to double their prices again.

So I put a little in my hand and the dog licked it up. I could tell he didn't really like it but the dumb galoot just stood there wagging his tail.

A friend of mine is Christian, of Jewish ancestry. She has done a good job teaching her kids about Jewish traditions and heritage. But she told them they have to choose one holiday in December for presents, they can only get Christmas presents OR Hanukkah presents. They can't be greedy and have both. I think they all ended up picking Christmas, but she does light a menorah.

from the post:
The timing of the boycott has drawn sharp criticism, as it was scheduled for the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, which is the 1938 Nazi pogrom that sparked nationwide anti-Jewish riots in Germany.
Critics and counter-protesters called the timing deeply unsettling. The organizers of the boycott, however, claimed to be misrepresented. They described themselves as a nonviolent group exercising their First Amendment rights, stating that the connection to the Kristallnacht anniversary was a complete coincidence and that allegations to the contrary were "simply false."

It's difficult to get any further Left than these guys without falling off the stage.
The Europeans have just decided to go with "toss your daughters to these foreign barbarians or you are far-right."
Euroskeptics. Socialists like Le Pen. Straight up Communism. Doesn't matter - far right.

One lane each way, traffic was OK and on street stores had adequate parking. They widened the street to two lanes each way which cut parking to stores so much that the small one's failed.
Within a year they painted bike lanes that cut traffic back to one lane. Cyclists continue to use the sidewalk for fear of death on the street.

I have accepted that the best that the black community will do is not show up to vote for the Democrats they'd otherwise vote for.
Same thing with Jews.
It's tribalism. They can't vote with "conservatives", because Jews convinced themselves that Christians were inherently antisemitic, and blacks equate "conservatism" with slavery.
They can't vote with people they feel are fundamentally biased against them. No matter whose governor's mansion is firebombed by whom.
Progressivism is a disability.

That's what Messianic Jews profess. They keep the Law to the extent that any other Hebrew sect does. They read the Torah, and observe the traditions.
They just differ on whether or not Jesus is the Messiah.

After a Mass Shooting in Poland's Historic Krakow Square, the Left-Wing President Attempting a Coup Against the Right Claims the Shooter Was "Fascinated by Right-Wing Ideologies"
Euronews, translated from the original Polish by Google.
A former classmate says he seemed to be "living in his own world." As is common in cases of mass shooters, he annihilated his own family, and the cats, before shooting up strangers.
A seemingly ordinary 24-year-old from Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski had a gun permit, trained shooting and worked as a lathe. On November 7, he opened fire on people on the Krakow Main Market Square. It soon became apparent that his loved ones had [been murdered before the rampage at Krakow Square].
The tragedy on the Main Market Square in Krakow shocked Poland. On Saturday, November 7, shortly after 15.00, a black car of the brand Subaru appeared in the city center. The man driving it drove into the market plate and began shooting towards passers-by. People sought shelter in nearby restaurants, shops and tenement gates. Shortly after, the attacker moved through the streets of the city, followed by police patrols. The perpetrator was 24-year-old Michał Oksimski from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski. The man was shot during a police intervention and in critical condition was taken to hospital. He died Monday morning. Six people were killed in Krakow and more than a dozen were injured. In the course of further activities, the services discovered that on the same day in the family's apartment in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski another tragedy occurred. The bodies of the 24-year-old's parents and younger sister were found there.
The EU whore and tyrant Tusk is attempting to claim he's a "right wing" shooter because of a single piece of evidence: He had a Gadsden flag.
During the activities of the services in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, the bodies of three people were revealed: 53-year-old father Michał Oksimski, 52-year-old mother and 21-year-old sister. They all had gunshot injuries. According to preliminary findings, their deaths occurred on Saturday 7 November, even before the 24-year-old arrived in Krakow. Investigators suspect that the same man is responsible for the killings of family members and the subsequent attack in the city centre. Two shot cats were also found in the apartment ... It is still not known what prompted the 24-year-old to kill his loved ones and carry out an attack on random people. The prosecution analyzes secured phones and electronic equipment. A spokesman for the National Prosecutor's Office said investigators had at least four phones found next to the man and in the car, as well as devices secured in his apartment. They are to help recreate preparations for the attack, determine motivation and possible inspirations.
One of the threads reviewed by investigators is whether he acted alone or whether someone could have helped him or influenced his decisions. At this stage, however, the prosecutor's office did not provide evidence of the participation of other people. The content and symbols found in its surroundings are also examined. According to media reports, the 24-year-old's room had a Gadsden flag, associated with, among other things, libertarian traffic in the United States. The prosecutor's office pointed out that this symbol has different meanings and its mere possession does not determine the ideological motives of the perpetrator.I'm not ready to take anyone's word for it about what this guy's politics were. Some accounts say he's an antifa "anarcho-communist" who hated Christianity and supported all of the typical Antifa causes:
Ben GrahamIs this just based on the Gadsden flag?
@BenGrahamUK 4h The entire narrative surrounding the Kraków terror attack has been thrown into serious doubt today. Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski initially claimed killer Michał Oksinski was "fascinated by far right ideologies".
Now, a former schoolmate says Michał Oksiński showed no right wing tendencies, while a police source has reportedly suggested he may actually have held far left views. There are also claims he attended Poland's pro-abortion protests in 2020 and may have supported open borders. British media outlets, alongside media organisations around the world, were quick to run with the "far right" headlines. It will be interesting to see whether those same outlets are equally quick to correct their reporting and apologise to the public if those claims prove false. There are now calls for Kierwiński to resign from his position in Poland for spreading misinformation at such a dangerous time.
In Poland, it has been discovered that the Kraków attacker, Michał Oksiński, was a radical left-wing, antifascist and anarcho-communist activist who mocked Christianity. Tusk’s government and the left wing media tried to link him to right-wing groups, but it is now known that this is not the case.

Meet Michal Oksinski the shooter from Poland. The polish minister of interior rushed into declaring him a right wing white supremacist. Although his social media accounts were deleted in minutes after he was identified some people managed to save some pictures

🚨🇵🇱 WHAT A F*KING DISGRACE!!! 😡
Poland's Interior Minister has now fully backtracked on his claim that the Kraków mass shooter was "far right." That is, AFTER the entire mainstream media ran with it and the narrative was set... This is the SAME government, under Tusk, now claiming to fight "disinformation," at the EU's behest.

There was a monster in Krakow Square, but fortunately there was also a hero:
🚨🇵🇱 New footage shows the moment a Polish police officer confronted the heavily armed Kraków gunman and FIRED at him.
The officer was himself seriously wounded during the confrontation. He was facing an attacker equipped with a rifle, military-style camouflage and body armor. SIX people were killed in the shooting, but the officer's intervention helped bring the attack to an end. Now he's fighting for his life in hospital. An extraordinary act of courage. Poland is rooting for him to pull through. Writer: Oliver

Update to today's terrorist attack in Poland. The shooter has been identified as Michał Oksiński from Ostrowiec. An additional victim of the nass shooting has died, bringing the death toll to six and the reported number of injured to an additional 16 people. Kamil Kosin was one of the responding policemen and is the policeman in the video that was posted this afternoon. He sustained three gunshot wounds from an automatic weapon. Despite being shot, Kosin still neutralized the attacker. The attacker had an automatic weapon, a helmet, and a vest. The parents and sister of Oksiński were found dead in the apartment where the shooter lived with them. Oksinski's social media posts are inconsistent. They seem to have included anti-Catholic and pro-Communist posts, as well as manga and animé type posts, as well as Falanga imagery. He allegedly attended the 2020 pro-abortion protests in Poland, the "All-Poland Women's Strike." In one of the images pulled from his Facebook account before it was deleted his caption was, "A photo bathed in the red light of communism-simply delightful." Kanał Zero, a Polish news channel interviewed a couple of people who knew the killer from school and alleged that he had worn all kinds of masks, dressed strangely, and painted his nails black.

I many gallons flowed out before I had the section in. It's still not a great splice so I will probably have to section it again. I'm not even sure that was the pipe I needed to splice. I may have effed up and marked the wrong pipe. It was bad enough that a 2'x2' section of the ceiling drywall fell down.

He will show up in "right-wing terrorism" reports from the UN, he will be referenced endlessly online as a right-wing terrorist example, he will be used to skew the numbers in studies and will be used as an excuse to clamp down on conservative speech in Western Europe.

He's been furious at the world ever since, especially Christianity, his parents and anyone who tries to help him, because he's gay and angry about it, but can't blame the gay dude because that's not gay solidarity with gay, gayness, and gaiety, so it's everything not-gay that's the problem.

I had a hot water pipe bust last week right at the valve. Of course it was on the wrong side of the valve so I had to run out spend time trying to find the valve shut off tool at the street. So much water all over the kitchen/utility room. It was Pex, so it was easily fixed. It took me longer to find the pex clamp tool than to actually fix it. Valve corroded in half at the end. It was only 5 years old. Thank God I was home, because if it had happened during the day it would have been a complete watery disaster.

Here's the deal, whether you call it lawfare, extra-judicial or post judicial, - Until our side decides to play as *mean and tough as our opponent we will lose.
*that includes culling our own - we have role models from the other side but no one does it

Every horrible crime in Poland since 2021 has been committed by a nice Christian Pole, except the plan to attack a Christian market last year by a nice Christian Pole who thought Christianity wasn't conservative enough and converted to extreme Islam.
When it's about white people, we'll always find guys like you to downplay the far-right, it's sickening.
He's white and not muslim, the usual far right crowd of reddit will remain silent of course
It’s insane how much misinformation is going around on social media. X is a virus that infects other platforms so easily.

The police chatted amiably with the non-stabbed "victim" of necessary anti-racist stabbing as the literal life oozed out of Henry Nowack's body. He did not admit to cops that he'd stabbed the man and was dying on the street from blood loss. He compounded the stabbing by continuing to hide the fact that he'd stabbed the "racist," letting the man die without medical attention. That asshole got... the absolute minimum of 21 years for race murder. And there's no question of his guilt. Just double what Brand got for an alleged "historic rape" from 22 years ago. I bring that up, because that immigrant race-murderer was just in court complaining that his sentence was too harsh. He wanted to halve the sentence -- down to ten and a half years, what the usefully-white Russell Brand got. In a minor bit of good news, the court not only rejected his plea, but added four years to his sentence calling the earlier Two Tier Justice sentence "unduly lenient." But it's still just twenty five years for a man who went out hunting a native citizen to murder and who then distracted cops with his hallucinatory Tale of Racial Woe.
Comedian Russell Brand was sentenced Monday in the United Kingdom to 10 and a half years in prison for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others. In his sentencing remarks, Judge Joel Bennathan said that Brand showed a "casual and arrogant disregard" for women denying him consent, the Associated Press reported. In the course of his rise to stardom, Bennathan said, Brand became a "sexual predator."
Britain Justice UncoveredBelow: I think this smug simpleton is called James O'Brien. I wouldn't have heard of him, except the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters talk about him a lot. He is one of the many hard-left "liberals" who is insanely and smugly wrong about every single issue and fact.
@justicewatchuk Nov 7 ⚖️ Henry Nowak's killer asked for less time in prison and the Court of Appeal added four years to his minimum term. Vickrum Digwa was serving life for stabbing 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak to death in Southampton when two challenges to his sentence came before the Court of Appeal this week. Digwa argued that the 21-year minimum was too long, while Attorney General Ellie Reeves had asked the judges to increase it because she considered it too low for the crime. Both arguments came back to what Digwa did on the street where Henry was walking home. The two men were strangers, and Digwa was carrying a large dagger in a sheath on the outside of his clothes when they met. After a brief encounter, Digwa drew the blade and stabbed Henry repeatedly. Digwa then filmed Henry as he tried to get away and kept filming as he lay dying. He told his mother, Kiran Kaur, to remove the knife, and he repeatedly lied to the police officers who arrived. The appeal judges said the original sentence gave too little weight to two things. The first was how Digwa used a large blade he already had to hand to kill an unarmed man. The second was the cruelty he inflicted on Henry after the stabbing and the steps he took to obstruct the investigation. That distinction mattered because the appeal judges agreed the trial judge could start at 15 years when working out the minimum term. A higher starting point applies when someone takes a knife to the scene intending to commit a crime, and the trial judge found that Digwa had carried the dagger there without that intention. The appeal judges accepted that finding and gave much greater weight to what Digwa actually did with the weapon and how he treated Henry afterwards. They put the minimum term at 25 years, with credit for the 175 days Digwa had already spent in custody before sentencing, and refused him permission to appeal against the sentence. Once Digwa has served the minimum term, the Parole Board can consider whether he can safely be released. Any release would come with conditions for the rest of his life, and he could be sent back to prison if he broke them. Henry's family is also dealing with a separate release decision involving the person who took the knife away. Kaur was sentenced to three years for helping Digwa by hiding the weapon, and she is expected to leave prison early in December, around the first anniversary of Henry's death. The Home Office has commissioned an independent review that will examine what the prison and probation service told the family about Kaur's early release. Henry's father, Mark Nowak, put the timing plainly: "She'll be out for Christmas, and I won't have Christmas with Henry."
Henry Nowak was murdered in cold blood with a religious ceremonial knife.
As he lay dying, he was falsely accused of racism, handcuffed and denied the help he desperately needed by police. And James O’Brien is asking why the British public won’t “stop whining”? Absolutely staggering. https://t.co/joIOEVM3GG— Ben Graham (@BenGrahamUK) November 3, 2026

RUSSELL BRAND SENTENCED:
I predicted 8 to 10 years. He got sentenced to 10.5 years. He will have to serve 2/3 of that sentence.
Particularly shocking from the sentence is what the judge just revealed about the alleged victim.
The alleged victim - who waited +/- 15 years before making the claims against Brand - has “lengthy mental health and addiction problems” and that there had been “other issues in her life” that contributed to those difficulties.

"I agree to a, b, x, r with conditions, and maybe t if you ask nicely, but then he did w and I did not agree to that" rapes.
ie, she had consensual sex with him but then he did butt stuff and that was too much.
Is that true? Did they give him 10 years for being a back door bandit?

That's if they ever are convicted of any sex crimes. Most are probably never convicted, or they are given sweetheart plea deals.
But surely, some illegals and foreigners must be convicted of sex crimes similar to Brand's. What were their sentences? I'll bet not 10 years.
I say "corrupt" conviction because I have the same view of this case as I do the Cornell 7: it was gross and nasty, the men acted horribly, but the ladies got what they wanted, and it was all consensual.

2. I remember him when he was a comedian, and I thought he was a disgusting creep. Then he did that podcast with the new-age lovey-dovey bs and I thought he was a disgusting phony creep.

I know people here get tired of my expanding fascism past the Nazis and the Italians, and pretty much want to maintain the same definition as the Left-- but what Galloway said is 100% fascist.
What Galloway is talking about, I assume, is Musk not volunteering Starlink to the Ukrainian cause. He should be considered a traitor and executed because the government would have his cooperation--and didn't get it!!
How dare somebody resist the State's plan!! That suggest that they live under a "different set of rules"!!

Brand's a gross creep but so were all these girls. He got away with it for almost 20 years. Hell, he practically bragged about power-fucking every whore and slut he could find.
Nobody cared because he was down with the "right" opinions. It was not until he started having a few non-approved opinions that he suddenly faced decades-old fake rape claims.

He found out through Covid that there are far more conscientious people on the "Right" than on the authoritarian Left.
He was mainly becoming a commenter on the Left. But he moved into faith in Jesus, before he developed too much of a "rightest" mindset. Of course he was enough generic "spiritual" during much of this journey as well.

Yeah. Of course you shouldn't do the no no thing if the stop sign is out. However, if you really meant no, did you call the cops right away, or stay and watch tv and eat popcorn. Then years later after somebody approached you, did you decide it was against your will.

Like Chappelle in the last decade, their acts were mostly rambling commentary, with "jokes" as it occurred to them.
Chappelle is a funny guy, I can still laugh at some of his early stuff. But at some point he became this rambling commenter, who slips in some funny things because he's a funny guy.
I even saw this while defending his last few specials.
However, Brand did impress me on his MTV show, where he appeared genuinely interested in "unity politics" and have dialogs, even seeming friendly toward people with different views.
It was pretty obvious that he was only going to stay leftie until the drugs wore off.

Well, lots but this is interesting very recent: Reparations
The British government has initiated a "structured dialogue" with Caribbean nations and affected communities regarding a potential formal apology, moving away from unilateral statements drafted in London
Prme Minister Burnham and Downing Street maintain that current British taxpayers cannot be held financially liable or penalized for historical wrongs committed centuries ago.
Instead of direct reparations, Britain has pledged £40 million over three years for regional development and renewable energy projects in the Caribbean, alongside separate debt-restructuring talks.
During the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda, King Charles acknowledged the "profound personal sorrow" and horror of the slave trade, though he did not issue a formal apology or offer financial compensation.

Did he rape women during that time? Possibly. And if so that's utterly vile. Supposedly there's no DNA or evidence to back up the claims, making it harder to prove. Becoming a Christian is great, and using the gospel to help you work through your addictions. But a baptism doesn't wash you clean in the eyes of the law.
HOWEVER... I would be more supportive of British courts throwing the book at him if they treated all rape cases this way. They don't. The Muslim grooming gangs happened. Men of certain backgrounds get lenient sentences for rape all the time in the UK. It feels either like a political witch hunt, or racial profiling because he's white, if every other rapist gets a slap on the wrist but not this dude.

You guys do know that he was a patient in a "sexual addiction" clinic at one time, and his own personal assistant testified that he had an "insane sexual appetite"....right?
Seems his lack of scruples caught up with him. He was just stupid enough to put a target on his back by going against the powers that be. Not that he didn't deserve it from the onset. It was merely delayed.

Dude who was famously convicted of rape in VA has stranger dangered a college student and then disppeared. 2 decades+ later, b/c of AA, he followed the steps and found her and wrote her an apology letter about the event. Yes, prosecutors didn't care he fixed his life, nor should they. He f*cked her over, and he did get convicted and sentenced to prision and his confession stood (his lawyer screamed about getting it tossed b/c it was the sterling evidence)...

This is simply asking for reasonability to be discarded as a test. Instead, you are asking "Substitute sympathy" in that she might have been really, really upset silently for 22 years, because that's what women do.
But that's not a reasonable doubt, is it? It's an emotional one.
Women are asking for an entirely different standard--if ONLY who is responsible when both parties under under the influence of drugs and booze.
Not discriminating on the basis of sex has been a FAILURE, and not even women want that.

But I have rape accusation fatigue. A prosecution for sex crimes that occurred long ago makes sense in the context of child victims or in the case of stranger rape (say where DNA finally discloses who the assailant was for the first time). But date rape cases or the equivalent, where all the facts, including the attacker's identity, have been known for a decade or more? There's too much potential for miscarriages of justice when all there is is he said/she said long, long after.

Nephew got locked out while they decided if they were going to kick him out of both the game and his gaming team. I told him not to apologize, that they would smell the blood in the water and absolutely savage him.
He didn't listen to his uncle. Spent 2 days working on the apology video, posted it and the "punishment" was even worse than he was afraid of. I had to resist the urge to tell him "I told you so".

Fuck my life. I am taking a smoke break after shop vaccuming up the bulk of the water and debris from the great room floor, which mercifully is tile.

The signs were there for anyone who wanted to look.
Look at special election results this year. Huge shift to Dems in red states, including Texas where there were two state rep flips. The elections in 2015, huge shift to Dems in VA and NJ. Every single poll on the war with Iran had 2:1 or worse opposition.
But much of the right and especially here was head in the sand, refusing to believe what was happening in front of their eyes.

I'm back where I was in 2014 and it never really left me anyway.
Trump did a lot of good and if they can help it they want as few people as possible to know what he really did. So we have a lot reshaping to come. They need him seen as a failure and a pedo. So I'm waiting for New Epstein Hearings which really aren't.
He showed it was possible to take on the Machine and play them to a draw for a time. Even give them a few big ass bumps and bruises.
That is huge. It is information they don't want known. They want to make sure "his kind never rises again".

I'd like to see some conservative areas do a real examination of the ballots, to see if they matched the claimed results. It sounded like the machines were programmed to skim 15% of Republican numbers and flip them to Dem. Or maybe just add 15% to Dems, though that would mean there would not be enough ballots.
TJM says the audit by Jill Stein (I think was the libertarian candidate) found the boxes of ballot had maybe 20% of what they were claimed to be holding.

Ooof: Trump Says His Immigration Policy Was Too Tough, Seeks Some Kind of... Comprehensive Reform
On one hand, I expected a softening. I floated the idea that if Trump had softened on the immigration raids the summer before the election, the GOP might have done a little better. (Emphases on "might" and "a little.")
And who knows: This may be necessary to stop the Democrats from winning it all in 2028 and packing the country floor to rafters with immigrants (and immediately giving them full voting rights). But on the other hand: this is a disaster. I guess it depends on how serious Trump is about this.Calling this a reversal is a pretty big understatement. Aside from tariffs, there has been no more consistent policy position in the Trump administration than "deport them all," and now Trump is suggesting that he can work with the Democrats on an amnesty bill that would normalize illegal aliens who have been here for some period of time -- say 10-15 years.Trump on his immigration policy:
Trump: "I think it both helped and hurt. I think I got an A+ for closing up the border. I get very high marks for getting the bad ones out. But I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that-- that created one violation, or breaking of the law, and that was that they came into the country illegally."
Douthat: "So you think your deportation policy--" / "Went too far--"Videos at the link. People have said that Trump is an example of A/B market testing on the presidential level. He's constantly talking and pitching policy choices. He doesn't know if he'll follow through or not. He listens for the audience reaction to decide on "A" or "B." That's mostly been good for us. But there is a down side, and we may be seeing it now. I've also heard that people with agendas always want to be the last person to talk to Trump, because his beliefs are often formed by the last person he talked with. I guess John Thune and Co. were the last people he talked to. Hello friends. I hope you are enjoying this cold and bright fall day.
Trump: "Too tough."
Douthat: "It was too tough?"
Trump: "I think it might be too tough, yeah."

Sorry, but that's a guy with no principles, just what he can get away with. FTR, I don't think that's Trump, really, but he's now trimming his sails to forestall an even bigger disaster in '28. The time to solve the problem for real was 20-40 years ago, by closing the border and expelling the illegals before they became a huge voting block.

How hard were the raids in the first place? Every time the media tried to pimp some boo-hoo story about some poor hardworking illegal who got snatched, it turned out to be some hardcore criminal scumbag.
I don't think we ever were targeting anything other than the real criminals. Sure, we talked about going after everyone here illegally, but I don't recall a single instance of actually deporting someone like Maria Sanchez the quiet housekeeper.

Yea, but that was the second part of my comment: they said that, but did they in fact ever follow through and deport an illegal who wasn't a serious criminal. If they did, I wasn't aware of it.
Every single illegal that the media hyped up was a hardened criminal and parasite on the nation. I don't recall a single housekeeper or nanny.

He told them they can pursue the "Russia" stuff, or they could have some nice deals.
I'm still Team Trump, though. I just realized that he's always had more centrist intentions.

It is very likely that had the Dems not pursued the bogus Russia Collusion stuff, that we would have had a very much more liberal Trump. He very likely would have done more stuff we didn't ask for or want.
But that they refused to compromise on what President Trump knew was bullshit--although he did ask Comey to tell him what he found on the subject. And this made Trump serve the "far right".

Trump can be Trump after 1/1 without worrying about reelection. That might be good or bad depending on your view. He'll get some type of "amnesty" though not as much as the Dems want because the GOPe and their donors need cheap foreign labor. If he does it right it could piss off the DSA types and get them fighting even more against the old time Dems. Of course it will really piss off his base

There's a blurb going around about 500 plus being "detained" - but not actually held. Those who are stupid enough get turned over to local authorities.
The specific claim is an assertion without evidence. Nothing more.

Recall Trump has slipped a few times and openly talked about not addressing the 95% of the problem - non-criminal illegals. As at the Iowa rally day that BBB passed (ironically), where he alluded to agriculture and hospitality depending on illegals - to the silence of the crowd (silence at a Trump rally I believe is rare to unprecedented).
I assumed he fears the short-term economic impact of enforcement on non-criminals. Which is dumb, or at least confirms even he doesn't understand the unforgiving black/white binary nature of the choice: you either actually enforce the law, or just sweep up around the edges as a prelude to an even greater disaster.

DEPORT THEM ALL if not legal or over-stayed visas. I don't give two hoots what voters whine about now or in two years. I WANT THEM GONE!

Crime is massively down. Which is a good thing especially in low income/working class neighborhoods.
But some people who may be legal, have relatives, or friends who aren't legal. So they are on edge about them getting picked up. Even if you are legal, but you are originally from Mexico or something, you might not be sleeping well given the chance that you might get sweep up in it . . .

I just bought a $1999 refrigerator.
It would have been about $1649 if not for the federal tariffs tax which I (not “South Korea”

I also paid $155 in sales tax.
Total cost $2154. Of which 25% is tariff tax and sales tax.
To pay for it, I had to earn $3,420 in gross salary, of which $1266 went to fed and state taxes.
So for $3,420 in labor I got a refrigerator worth $1,649 (48%).
52% went to the government in taxes."

Just as I was discussing with Grok: tolerance is not a good general policy.
Because yes, you can tolerate "intolerant" behavior, you can't tolerate it if you like the behavior, you can only tolerate it if you don't like the behavior.
Well, how much don't you like the behavior.
Popper's "Paradox of tolerance" is simply a failure to understand how the sense changes when the act of "tolerating" is turned into a policy of "tolerance". (And it's also a single foot note from his body of writing.)

The only hope for salvaging the country was the total elimination of the foreign populations that support the Democrats. Now it will just be theft either by government or with its approval until people finally figure out that productive behavior is a waste of time.
And then it all collapses. Along with any part of the global economy that depends on US demand.

Employment enforcement is almost the whole ball-game. And it's been virtually set aside up to this point. And it's going to be much more vulnerable to the slander and distortion that easily shapes the reactions of ignorant/teenage girl-like/tribal America - i.e. at least half the country.
Apart from cuffing serious criminals the entire effort to date relies on intimidation to motivate self-deportation. Slightest sign of weakness guts that central effort and buys you bupkis, now or later.

Ok, then Trump has done this repeatedly already, on gun control, global warming, and illegal immigration previously in 2018. So it seems like it's a type of "betrayal" that nobody remembers and has no policy impact.
On the flipside it makes it harder to sell the idea that Trump (or the GOP) holds radical positions.

The annoying thing is that by any objective standard Iran really is utterly defeated. Hormuz is open for business, oil's in freefall, and the IRGC can barely light a birthday candle now. But they're continuing to do the "tis only a flesh wound" thing and the media is happy to cover for them.

The thought of him working there still sends me laughing. He does know how to fold a fitted sheet; just one more thing to attract me. He found these perfect sheets for his going insane wife a week ago and sleep has eased the grief I have for my ill mother.

Is he bringing our armada home? Has he pulled Rubio off Cuba?
There are important things he can effect that the Democrats will be hard pressed to undo.

I agree. Had Michigan not put in the 55¢/gallon tax to disguise a decline in gas prices, we'd be looking at mid-3s/gallon gas.
This is what is so stupid about the "Affordability" banner. The Party that waved it, in Michigan, cares so much about what you're paying at the pump, and how much it is hurting you that they want you to pay 55¢ more per gallon, just so you can't see prices come down! (And Michigan is not the only state, as I hear it.)

Compromise in DC is
- Dems demand the whole loaf
- Rs offer 50%
- they compromise on giving the Dems 95% of the loaf.
Dems campaign on how they were cheated out of that 5%.
Rs campaign on how they saved you 5%.

Basically, the democrats have taken full advantage of what is now election season, they register millions of ballots, they flood the systems with ballots and there's not much we can do about that other than reciprocate, but being that the GOP is a useless pile of dog shit, our ability to oust these f***ing ***holes and lunatics, is low.

Yup, the magic of eVerify. It was a scam and give-away to employers that made it almost impossible to go after employers.
But even apart from that, you can still go to home depots or similar big stores or parking lots at 6 am, and you'll see illegals waiting to be picked up for daily labor (construction, lawn, moving, and other basic labor tasks). They aren't even trying to hide it.

All that being said, I think the optics of some of the things he did, was just counterproductive. Like rolling into blue cities with masked ICE agents and zip ties., purposely creating as much drama as possible. So much more ow hanging fruit.
But if Trump cuts some amnesty deal, he'll leave office with a 20% approval rating and probably be the most hated President in US history. His base is the only thing left.

I think something needs to change, but I dont buy this narrative. Why did basically every red state drop Republicans?
I remember hearing in 2006 Republicans did poorly because of immigration concerns.
EVERY election that Republicans do poorly, the same crowd trots out "amnesty now!".
Hispanics voted against Republicans because of cost of living. They simply tend to be more blue collar/working class. Iran had FAR more to do with the wipeout than immigration.
It's also clear to me its deeply personal against Trump.

Yeah, she's lying about what all she can do.
It's always been known that the TX gov is one of the weakest govs in the nation.
But their LIVs don't know that.
And the legislature meeting once every 2 years is deliberate. It was always a slog getting even R priorities with majority in favor through both chambers in time.
So she calls a special session--that's literally the only power she has; but it can only consider named reasons, not general bills.
And the senate gavels in and votes down the bill and gavels out.

When Chocolate Fonzie was running things, they built a bunch of solar charging stations on bases and National Guard posts, including my local ANG post less than a mile from my shop. Two big motorized solar panels that are hooked up to 4 parking spots. If ever there was a parking spot that screamed "Commanding Officer and Staff only"...

It started out pretty well. He kept a eye on the charge level and stopped for a charge just about any time he saw a charger if he was near half charge.
Then he found himself in Flatonia, Tx, after dark, sitting at the only charger in town with a couple of cars ahead of him. Got home near midnight and gave it back the next day.

That's one thing I haven't seen discussed much as we discuss the recent election. The same leftward lurch has been happening around the world.

My big change was getting a gas 350 after driving a diesel for over 20 years. I drive the pickup just once or twice a week, usually towing a moderate load, but sometimes towing the heavy gooseneck trailer when I'm going to camp somewhere. I wanted the godzilla gas engine because of that occasional heavy towing, but I'm not towing heavy construction equipment every day where I need a diesel and the EPA has made diesels so much worse now then twenty year ago before they mandated DEF and other crap.

Hard to say.
If the GOP had turned up at presidential election levels or near them like the Dems did, the GOP would have won the midterms in TX.
Can Dems manage increased turnout two elections in a row? Lots of variables there.
Can the GOP get its act together and get out the vote better than usual?
Personally, I've seen too many "the emerging (insert party here)" stories after prior elections.
Maybe I'm an optimist, but I think 2028 is likely to be decided somewhere other than TX.
We don't even know what terrible presidential options will be on the table yet.

I know it would be a tough sell for privately-owned cars, but it ought to be perfectly practical for fleets of many like vehicles, like Amazon's delivery vans.
Current model: vehicle is unavailable for use for the hours it takes to charge the battery.
Swappable batteries: vehicle is available for use nearly 24/7.
Gas-powered taxis: vehicle is available for use nearly 24/7.

There's data indicating that people, especially those of the OEM-equipped boobs persuasion, drop their phones in the toilet like 3 times a week. That's basically the entire reason phones had to become waterproof.
Posted by: Ian S. at November 09, 2026 12:09 PM (2ocoG)
Sure, but that would require nearly a data centers' worth of infrastructure.

And how much infrastructure do you need to charge a hundred Amazon delivery vans overnight at a "fullfillment center"? About the same, if not more. The battery packs could be racked eight high, and handled by forklifts, powered by the same type of battery.

You can't see out the back because of that cover, so you have to rely on... a big screen to 'see' what's behind you. Weird-looking, useless as an actual pickup.

The weekend before Halloween, I was in a huge hurry to get out the door and meet my brother and his daughter at this cave where they do a haunted house.
I told my daughter to go find her own shoes and put them on, because I didn't have time.
As I was sitting in the interminable line of traffic to get in, I finally noticed that she was wearing two different shoes. And they weren't even close. One was a tennis shoe, and the other was a paw patrol slipper with little ears hanging off it.

After the Dems announced their plans to restrict data centers tech stocks tanked but today they are back up with not updates from the Dem's legislative agenda.
So I asked an AI agent why and there was a bit of "no one believes the Dems will actually do anything, certainly not in the short term" which is reasonable but then it further extended "also inflation is probably going down because they'll move against tariffs"
And I spent too much time arguing with it because by definition tariffs as a tax cannot cause inflation. "But prices on some goods will go up with tariffs" sure but that's not inflation any more then if the government put a tax on say bread and the price of bread went up, while meanwhile increased revenues LOWER inflation since the government has to print fewer dollars.
And I ended up with the normal sort of thing you see when AI has been trained to give some lefty narrative answer. "Yes you are right taxes are inherently deflationary but the narrative says that tariffs specifically are inflationary"

Most people don't distinguish between price inflation and monetary inflation. It feels the same to them. And yes, tariffs are a tax on those consuming foreign goods.

Ernest Meissonier, 1815 - 1891
A great detail painting; very nice & so very different from a great deal of his art (Napoleonic military epics).
Today's painting was summarized by one site as: Aa small-scale, intimate genre scene typical of Meissonier's meticulous technical precision. It depicts a young man absorbed in quiet contemplation or reading, reflecting 19th-century bourgeois values centered on education, refinement, and intellectual pursuit. 🙄
Wikipedia, in part, Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier was a French academic painter & sculptor who became famous for his depictions of Napoleon and his military sieges and maneuvers in paintings acclaimed both for the artist's mastery of fine detail and his assiduous craftsmanship.
He also had a son, Jean Charles Meissonier
(French, 1848–1917), who was an excellent painter and, unlike his father, focused heavily on domestic and naturalistic scenes.
Interesting. Thank you.

Our domestic oligarchs and people like Musk generally believe they will generate a lot of $$$ as people use AI services.
The domestic oligarchs and their allied politicians also think they can be used for enhanced surveillance of the populace.
Meanwhile Chinese oligarchs want a technical edge on America so they want to stop AI investigation and development as much as they can.
So it is really a mixed bag as I think there is logic in all three sets of arguments. I'm already seeing real growth in the use of AI to generate value, I suspect it is already massively party of the surveillance state, and finally China really does want to get the edge in its development.

Agreed. Meissonier's battle scenes are effective but I prefer the gentle images like today's example. This one is especially appealing to me because I've spent a lot of time reading outdoors. Started with picture books on our front porch. The places have changed but the activity continues. I am amused/irritated by people who are surprised when they see me reading a physical book in a waiting room instead of staring at a screen.

Fat chance, but reduce the size of government.
Every government bureaucrat is being paid for by some working man's salary.
As is every "free hot lunch" or "refugee seeker hotel room"
The right has largely failed to get this through into the LIVs heads that there is no free lunch.
And the interesting thing is earlier incarnations of the left ran afoul of this because LIVs finally started to notice all those "free" things the left offered were coming with tax increases.
Since the left has dropped the idea of tax increases and just prints the money now the LIVs don't see tax increases and is confused as to why the cost of everything increases instead...

Datacenters are built that way to house a large number of CPUs. Since CPUs are expensive there is economic pressure to find a different way but at least now there is no one that can see how to do it.

I had an ancestor, a Colonel who was part of the Great Escape from Libby Prison in Richmond, 1864. Involved a months long digging of a tunnel from the basement to outside the walls, over 100 prisoners escaped. My ancestor made it back to Federal lines by walking through Richmond and he and three others pretending to be drunks at night singing confederate songs loudly. The sentries paid no attention to them.

The first computer Bullshit Artist was called Eliza, from 1966.
(I remember playing with it at a mall at a Radio Shack in the late 70s. I've got a copy of the program for an Atari 8-bit that I've never got around to booting up yet.)
And yes, it's totally bogus. It's amazing how much this 'chatbot' nonsense manages to fool people.

Shrub could have probably made major revisions in the tax code after 2002 to simplify it and make it fairer - get rid of indexing and just have everyone pay the same amount.
But he was no conservative and had no interest in such changes and even if he was his attempts to partially privatize SS failed due to his inability to sell a program he did want.
And speaking of which over that time period the stock market is up 400-500%. Good think we didn't let people put part of their SS money in that right?

Posted by: gp at November 09, 2026 10:50 AM (Jr5Lq)
I think the ideal solution is for every data center to have its own dedicated SMR (small modular reactor) and to provide any extra power available to the local community.

Opposing data centers and refineries is pretty much the same phenomenon. Guessing the idiocy that has created the refining bottlenecks/insufficiency will fail in the data center case, as the economic interests behind data centers (those directly involved) are a huge part of the economy, and not demonized and marginalized as much as those who make the entire modern economy possible (real energy producers).

I think almost all datacenters were gonna end up with their own power, rather than rely on fickle and unreliable public power. They would generate their own power and recycle their own water.
There are arguments against massive data centers, but the power and water issues aren't among them.
I'm 99% sure that was a Chinese op.

The reason electricity rates have gone up is largely because we are still dealing with the effects of Democrats Green New Deal that shuttered conventional power plants and replaced them with wind and solar. Also largely pushed by the CCP.

231 The electricity thing is so dumb. Every industrial entity uses a lot of electricity. I don’t see Dems rushing to force a factory to provide its own electricity. But data centers have to?”
I actually get it. Old school factories that used a lot of power also provided a lot of jobs for the community. Data centers don’t, so no one local is invested in seeing them be successful.

"no one alive today will ever see the end of that lease."
So many levels of stupidity in that.
1) absolute guarantee data centers will be obsolete in 10 years
2) governments revoke leases all the time; ask the Bundys
3) it's f'ing useless desert land, but please keep whining
4) $10 says that's a standard lease term on all commercial developments on state land and has nothing to do with data centers
Whatever.
We lost the debate on data centers--it's pure retard rage now not logic or reason.

The utter contempt shown by our "betters" at any regular citizen expressing quite rational and logical concerns or questions about them has been staggering.
Things said or implied: The average person complaining is really a Chinese psyop! They're idiots who won't willingly shovel the garbage we're feeding them! Pay no attention to the backroom deals and graft we are lining our pockets with, citizens! You'll shut up and you'll like it.
The Utah county commissioners and even Governor Cox behaved this way. It was disgusting. It turns people off. If this is why so many races in Utah swung blue -- in addition to gas and food prices, the war, and new immigrants and Cali tech bros voting blue -- I don't really blame them.

The Morning Report — 11/9 /26
Robespierres With Guillotines: Lust for Revenge Could Fuel the Next America First Resurgence: The insanity of the Democrats and their lunatic NeverTrump fringe transformed Trump from a pariah into a victim. . . In closing, in case you think the Left is not really unhinged, consider the performance of Scott Galloway, an anti-Trump entrepreneur and professor at NYU. In front of a live audience recently, Galloway called Elon Musk “a traitor to the West.” What do we do with traitors? Galloway didn’t flinch. He noted that the Rosenbergs, Julius and Ethel, were “lined up against a wall,” i.e., executed. Musk, he said, deserved no less. The audience, I note, applauded. Amazing. Yes, such aspiring Robespierres might do some damage. They really are insane, power-hungry totalitarians in waiting. But their insanity will eventually call forth a salubrious counterrevolution. “Eventually.” I note that Senate terms are six years. That is a sobering thought. But it is also precisely the reason that everyone with the good of the country at heart must rally round and push back. I believe they will.The always erudite and estimable Roger Kimball both gets it and misses the point. We are not dealing with Democrats who play by the same rules and adhere to the same belief system that we do. Far from it. They have a hate on for this nation as it was founded and its people. Always have and always will. There is nothing now to stop them from doing whatever they want or feel they need to do to finally grab the brass ring of absolute power and total dismantling of this nation as founded to maintain that power for all time. And here too, the usually reliable J.B. Shurk:
It is true that the Democrats will prevent Trump from putting new judges on the bench or replacing anybody from his administration chased into retirement. I hope that his people possess nerves of steel and are prepared to endure the theatrical browbeating and endless investigations that will soon come from Congress.. . The midterm results are bad for us. However, I know this to be true: Victories can quickly become defeats, and defeats can often be turned into unexpected victories. Put your faith in God and have the courage to keep fighting. There is much to do.And so here too Shurk states that "Defeats often turn into victories." This is what the Germans who voted against Hitler and the Nazis told themselves after his and their election to the Reichstag in 1933. Not even a year later, that building was in flames and every one of their political opponents were rounded up and shipped off to prisons and ultimately to Dachau, if they made it there alive. And speaking of Dachau:
North Carolina Democrat Shelly Headen, who posted a Facebook story with a caption that said Trump supporters belong in concentration camps while visiting Dachau, is on track to beat Republican incumbent Rep. John Blust by 233 votes pending the tabulation of provisional ballots that will likely add to her lead.And this is not hyperbole. They mean it. They will not merely stop at Trump or Stephen Miller or anyone else in the cabinet, they're coming after all of us. Here we are on the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht. While Jewish shops are now the targets in the city of Brotherly Love which is now the City of Muslim Brotherhoodly Love... Lest you forget that the Democrat Party now boasts a US Senator who is supported by and whose family members and probably he himself are members of that group. Meh, he's a practicing Muslim. Islam is utterly incompatible with America and civilization itself, and yet and yet! This too shall pass and perhaps it's a victory. Yeah, about that,

ABDUL EL SAYED FAILS BACKGROUND CHECK FOR CLASSIFIED SENATE BRIEFINGS
Washington, DC - November 8, 2026
Abdul El Sayed has failed the background check required for classified Senate briefings. The denial blocks him from any session that involves sensitive national security information. Officials who conduct the clearances reported that the review did not meet the standards necessary for access to restricted materials. The failure leaves open the question of what specific issues prevented approval.
Senators who receive classified briefings must clear the same process before they can attend. El Sayed’s rejection means he cannot participate in those meetings.

This is what I believe happened in the 96 hours before, during and after Election Day. I have little insider information, this is just me connecting some dots. I could be wrong:
1. The Trump Administration knew it would be a wipeout.
2. The Vance team coordinated with Susie Wiles so there would be a concerted information campaign to blame the loss on Pete Hegseth because of Iran and to oust him, thereby clearing a JD Vance competitor from the field (plus maybe Rubio too).
3. Trump was unaware of this campaign, which included Susie scheduling a Saturday Camp David meeting with Vance/Susie loyalists with Trump out of town (that meeting got cancelled).
4. Vance dropped his "It wasn't me" X post on Wednesday morning (which directly blamed Trump's decisions but also impliedly blamed Hegseth and Rubio), but not before a whole bunch of people (me included) had already started backing Hegseth.
5. Hegseth himself dropped an info campaign that was clearly in anticipation of unfriendly folks in the admin trying to pin the loss on him.
6. It all came to a head in the Oval Office where Trump had to choose between Susie and Hegseth. Trump chose Hegseth

It’s going to be a wild week in the US Senate. Buckle up.
I have been calling around to various Republican Senators this weekend.
A few takeaways…
1. Conference is just furious — pissed is an understatement.
2. They see their own inaction on critical issues like the SAVE Act and insider trading bills as a major de-motivator for the midterms. They blame Thune and leadership for playing safe.
3. The rushed Leadership vote Tuesday is seen as a blatant insult. Senators want to know how their Leaders will respond to lame duck session and being in a steep minority.
4. Over a dozen Senators are demanding round the clock work on Trump nominations and judicial appointments. Some believe parts of the SAVE Act can still be passed through reconciliation.
5. Recess appointments are also being demanded. Thune is holding them up.
6. Senators are openly questioning their adherence to “tradition” — blue slip, filibuster etc. — as a new crop of Democrats couldn’t care less and will destroy tradition for power in a heartbeat.
7. There’s a sense that something big is going to happen. A real shakeup. Stay tuned…

I don't feel that way now and this situation objectively looks more perilous than then.
Somehow, we're going to come out fine.
I'm just watching what Trump will do.
If he goes on offense, we have a good chance for 2028. If it's defense, then things are pretty dark.
For me, I want to see him attack the three pillars of power of the deep state:
1) Secrecy
2) Access
3) Protection
Cutting off their money is good. But money flows to power like water downhill--you'll never stop it.
He needs to kill their power.
Transparency and openness.
The shallow post mortems on 2026 wants to blame acts or events. But these didn't happen on their own--choices and decisions were made to cause them.
We all have a list by now of various events or moments where Trump lost a little more and a little more.
But, for me, each of those leads back to a single source: the failure, the betrayal, the loss of initiative all benefited the permanent state, the deep state.
One faction benefits from hiding the Epstein lists; most factions benefit from killing DOGE; another faction benefits from the Iran war; etc.

10-20% of compute is AI based on energy consumption reports (there are no data for % of compute provided by providers).
Four million people in the US are getting mobile devices and data services each year. Add in the 40 million foreigners added in the past few years.
Mobile devices = streaming, telemetry, ordering, banking, reservations, geolocation added to the increase of IoT in the form of sensors, smart-appliances, Ring and Flock cameras, transportation, utility etc.
Limiting Data Centers in a fast growing world where AI is the fastest growing sector is to Affordability as is stopping housing construction permits or denying oil well permits.

It all depends on how you define fraud. Too many people are looking at traditional forms of fraud like voting machines and not looking at what an enormous network of leftist aligned groups with somewhere around $1 billion did to build "Democrat" turnout.
They simply outspent, out organized, out registered and out voted us unlike anything they've ever done before while refusing to tighten election laws and refusing to turn over voter rolls.

They turned out because Ginojoza (who none of us Anglos knew) ran what was in retrospect a brilliant Anti-ICE campaign on all Spanish Language media, telling them constantly that they were all subject to being hunted down and arrested regardless of their citizenship status. We didn’t even know this was happening, so of course no Republican candidate responded to the claims at all.

No woman wants a loser who can't get a job. So the man has no family, no job, no purpose and society keeps telling him each and every day that he is a toxic monster and a piece of shit.
Then shoot, imprison or cancel any man who tells him different.
Solution? Vote for MOAR of the same.
Yeah, that kind of loser-think should be a Darwin move.

The real story, of the correct vote, would be a GOP win across the board.
This will be a closely guarded secret, like who acted as President 2020-24, who organized the COVID-19 Wuhan vaccine killing of the innocents, and who stole all the money from Americans.
The insiders on the Left and GOPe know. But the ability to steal from America just reopened.

This is 100% consistent with my “the voters were retarded” analysis
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at November 09, 2026 08:29 AM (LQ1/y)
According to the US Census Bureau, as of 2026 Texas is:
Hispanic/Latino: 41.7%
White/Non-Hispanic: 37%
Black/Asian/Other: 21%
In this election, Hispanics voted 75/25 for Dems (in 2024 it was more like 50/50)
White/Non-Hispanic were about 75/25 GOP
Black/Asian/Other was about 80/20 Dem.
Work out those numbers, and you get 31+9+15 = Dems end up with 55% of the vote, wiping out the GOP at all levels.
( assuming equal turnout, but actually Hispanic turnout was very heavy)

Nah, the Dems will continue harping on affordability. They will blame Trump for continuing to make everything unaffordable for the Middle Class and their Free Shit Army. Because Trump will veto the Dems budget/continuing resolution bills that are chock-full of free stuff and subsidies for everything, not just Obamacare premiums. Along with tax increases on the 'wealthy'.
The Dems have nothing to lose promising 'affordability' relief through legislation then blaming Trump for not signing their 'affordability' bills for the next two years. Each bill sent to Trump will contain a load of poison pills. Abolish ICE, for starters. Cut the defense budget to stop the Iran war. Refund everything Trump defunded or reduced its budget.

A 20-year-old woman known as Jackie from Long Island has gone viral after claiming she has a "body count" of (meaning she has had sex with) 1,572 people — and the internet has not held back its reactions.
Key Takeaways:
In an interview for The Dating Blind Show, Jackie said she has a "body count" of 1,572.
She is 20 years old and said she began having sex at age 18. If she is being honest about her tally, that would amount to an average of more than two different sex partners every day.
While this seems unlikely, the comment sparked reactions that were largely unfavorable, in a culture that also mocks the idea of sexual restraint.

It is not enough to convince voters, when people can sense the guy doesn't care about them. Not when they are up against charismatic plants everywhere.
Also I had noticed and pointed out the Dems picked a message and ran it national. But local. "Michigan is not for sale." "Massachusetts is not for sale."
It doesn't mean shit - and in fact it's a lie - but it SOUNDS good. It's basically "America First" but on the state level.

Exactly. If you look at the video I posted above you can hear directly from the people who spent close to $1 billion over the last year to add millions of new leftist voters all across the US.
A network of very well funded NGOs worked to change the electorate and they did. Republican turnout overall was slightly up for a midterm. Democrats hit presidential election numbers. They are playing a different game than we are and it's not about any one issue. It's about finding new voters, getting them registered and getting their votes one way or another.
It certainly helps the left that we have insecure elections with mail in ballots, no ID in certain areas and no requirement to even prove you're a citizen to register, even in Texas.

2) Expanding Medicare for the poor; that she has to get past the Texas senate.
3) pause all new data center permits
More to the point: People are going to find out just how weak the TX gov is.
And that Gina can't deliver on a single thing she promised.
And all the border sheriffs have already signed ICE coop agreements--she can't stop that.

Essentially the US has decided socialism aint so bad after all, and installed some of the most evil and f***d up anti-semites and racists to install it.

And I don't see anyway out of it in the short term.

So no matter how the tens of thousands of malevolent politicians, lobbyists, staffers, bureaucrats, judges, magistrates and paper pushers act, no matter what they do, only the bad is magnified if the god is a Republican and only the alleged good is exalted if the god is a Democrat.
So naturally, darkness and evil will descend upon the earth in the form of Demonic Party activism, and the retards will simply agree that the god in the White House is all to blame.

First a reminder - in 2026 Trump received 6.4 million votes in Texas. In 2024 Abbot only got 4.4 million. 2 million Texas Trump voters either changed parties or stayed home. Texas Hispanic voters went at least 50/50 for Trump in 24. This time they went about 75/25 for Hinojoza.
Also:
1. The Biden Admin. naturalized about 3 million aliens from 2021 to 2024. Add them to the post-2020 eligible voter pool.
2. Every year (nationally) about 4 million 17 year olds turn 18. Math says that since Trump was first elected in 2016, that's somewhere around 40 million new potential voters.
3. Trump received 46% of the vote from 18-29 year olds in 2024.
4. Last Tuesday that demographic voted 31% for GOP candidates. (Nationally)
It's not hard to find the shift in the vote from 2024 to 2026.

Chiliasm is heretical.
The very idea that the King/Priest of the order of Melchizedek would be that of a temporal rather than of a spiritual kingdom is to essentially reject the book of Hebrews.
The idea of the Messiah making blood animal sacrifices to Himself in the HoH in a Temple built with human hands is an abomination.
For those reasons alone, any Millennial imagined state is one that is in violence with the bulk of scripture, no matter how bad one wants to take a single Greek word and build an entire eschatology on it.

The GOPe was easily out-worked, out-thought, and unwilling to stop the corruption.
America remains in our hearts. But the GOPe is not there anymore.

France has officially passed a groundbreaking law targeting global data traffic! Lawmakers voted in favor of a new digital infrastructure tax, approving a levy of roughly 6 cents per gigabyte on all data transmitted into the country.
Designed to force tech giants to contribute to local network maintenance and telecom infrastructure, the new measure will hit bandwidth-heavy services hardest. Streaming platforms, cloud providers, and search engines like Netflix, Google, and Meta could face combined costs running into hundreds of millions of dollars annually. While supporters argue the tax creates a fairer digital economy, critics warn companies may pass these extra expenses directly to subscribers through higher monthly fees.

So where did the new voted come from that gave Abbott a slightly greater vote this year?
There's another way for percent of votes of a certain demographic to go down other than flipping. Additional votes of the same demographic going to the other candidate does the same thing.

Glancing over the internet, and the clicks upstairs, and reading Insty- I see nothing but Democrat insanity.
What with Ol' Sloppy 'Gina in Texas already murdering the great Texas economy by forcing Musk to close his Gigafactory production. (Goodbye jobs!), to Georgia new let's make insurance ruinously expensive for the average folk, to law fare, to unconstitutional laws elevating islam in NJ,
I see nothing regarding "affordability".
All I see is New and Improved Turbo-Biden Inflation and Governance coming down the pike. Initially, in states who voted these idiots into office.
Yeah, there may have been cheating. However, the GOPe also made sure there was nothing to vote for.
I believe with Democrat Turbo-Inflation and all the creepy insanity and violence that we could be competitive in '28.
I suppose right now is the time to start looking around for new, truly conservative, attractive, young candidates to primary out grimy, greasy, grift-sodden GOPe slugs like Thune out of office.
We'll see.

And the Democrats targeted them heavily.
But what about the millions more young men who become voting citizens every year?
What message did Republicans offer them?
That Epstein list you wanted? No.
That DOGE you were excited about? Sorry.
Gas prices? Housing? Jobs? No, no and no.
But here's more money for waitresses. And here's more money for the olds. And here's some money for those rich enough to buy a house or start a family. And the stock market is really booming if you'd care to buy some stocks.
The Dems blamed their privilege.
The Republicans told them to "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps."

Lizzy Warren says if you've been "cheating" Americans, get ready for "serious investigations."
She's asked who specifically she's talking about.
"Anyone who's been cheating. That's what investigations are all about."
Translation: We have no idea if any crimes have been committed by our list of targets, but we'll be digging hard to try to find some. (And if we can't find any, we'll just invent some.)

I didn’t see it coming. I kept saying and thinking it was impossible for Gina to win since she wasn’t even running any campaign that I could see.
What I did not know was that she was running a massive campaign on Spanish language media that in retrospect was incredibly effective. None of us Anglos knew about this or even saw it coming, including Abbot and Paxton. So none of them ever responded , allowing the claims of mass race based government persecution to stand unchallenged. A massive mistake on our part.
Add to that the fact that Abbot did almost no campaigning at all and apparently just assumed he’d be fine. He never should have run for a 4th term.
We thought the important race was Paxton vs Talerico. That was just the sideshow. The important race was Gina vs Abbot, and she kicked his ass and dragged all of her allies along with her.

Interesting. The Left uses turn-out too. They turn out the dead, illegals, the dementia riddled seniors, felons, cartoon characters, people who have moved years ago.
You will not beat the Left at the numbers game when you restrict yourself to rules that guarantee you win. They play by the blood sport rules of BAMN and will win because the will to power is greater at this game than your dead rules of honor.
This is no longer a Constitutional Republic filled with honorable and self controlled people, its a free-for-all knife fight where there are no rules, only power.

The fastest growing sub-group right now is the DSA. They are rapidly taking over the Democrat Party. And they aren't doing it by flipping Old Timey establishment Dems, they are doing it by bringing in a whole new bunch of voters. That's who NYC got Mamdani. That's how Michigan got Abdul. They will vote for the radical in the primary and then whomever has a D behind their name in the general.
If we want to win going forward we've got to start spending time and money finding our own new voters.

This is revealing. They absolutely hated the SAVE America Act because they rely on vote fraud and by establishing mechanisms that foil many forms of vote fraud would put them at a distinct disadvantage.
What they DO control is the investigation part. So use vote fraud liberally if you are of the Left, and the "investigations" will never happen. Also use the threat of, and the implementation of expensive "investigations" on your enemies regardless if there was any fraud performed on their part.
It is no longer The Process is The Punishment. It is the Process is The Persecution. With demonic prosecutors and "judges" with a singular mind to use the skin-suit of Justice to bankrupt, reputation destroy and incarcerate their political enemies by imagining bogus charges and running their victims through the legal gauntlet, they can talk big about "justice" as they administer the exact opposite.

One of the odder pieces of leftist agit prop I find is the argument that older people got rich unfairly and should have to share and when you break it down its the guy that worked 40 years and has enough money to finally retire should give most of it to a 25 year old that has spent his entire life in school and never actually worked because its not fair the former has more money.
And this get even more insane when you consider most of the 25 year olds demanding this will be in the same place in 40 years if we don't get communism and more immediately is probably set to inherit grand dad's portfolio in a few years as well anyway...

Pennsylvania's Jewish Governor, who attended a faith-based school and describes himself as living his faith "out loud," - such as when the man off his meds attacked the governor's mansion for about a minute and a half, later becoming an act of anti-Semitism - waits until last Thursday to rather quietly condemn the bike ride protest targeting Jewish-owned businesses as ‘blatant antisemitism’ (Religion News Service and WaPo), and then suddenly louder thanks to the usual msm.
The mayor of Philly did no better.
While Senator John Fetterman (PA-D) is not beloved by the state & national Leftists anymore, he & Senator Dave McCormick (PA-R) waded right in @ first publicity.

Facebook, CBS News, in part, 'Three people were arrested during a pro-Palestinian bicycle protest in Philadelphia on Sunday.' Interesting commentary from interviewees.
But I still don't get everyone's right to protest & counter-protest BUT for MAGA US citizens.

VATICAN CITY (RNS) – Opening his Latin America trip in Montevideo, Leo drew on his recent illness and a monument dedicated to Uruguay’s national hero to urge leaders to care for those who need it most.

I never remember anyone discussing El-Sayed's opinions regarding C-19 before the recent elections.
Ford School, University of MI, "El-Sayed explains Michigan’s rising COVID-19 numbers" November 28, 2021
Snapshot, AI Overview: "...advocated for strict public health interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. This included supporting statewide lockdowns, school closures, restrictions on high-risk venues (such as bars and restaurants), masking, and mass testing. Later in the pandemic, he emphasized science-backed tracking of hospitalizations tied to county vaccination rates, supported vaccine mandates, and framed public health as a collective responsibility tied to social and economic equity."
Ah-ha.
Damn, he had Joe, Tom & Josh, Bernie & AOC at hello!!

An AMD 5600X3D, a Gigabyte B550M motherboard, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. Not bad for the price in these benighted days, though it still needs a graphics card.

Uh huh, sure guys. We all know how these admissions go as time progresses:
1) Nothing was stolen
2) A little bit of info might have been stolen but nothing crucial.
3) Things are worse than we thought. She had access to some sensitive information. We're still auditing.
4) Everything. She (and China) got everything.

Is there a single known case of a Chinese spy failing to seduce her mark?
Posted by: Blonde Morticia's Phone at November 09, 2026 04:18 AM (XJ22o)
When I was relatively new to Houston, this gorgeous Chinese woman in a convertible pulled up to the bus stop and offered me a ride, said she'd take me to the park and ride up north where my car was. Despite being in my 40s, my elementary school "Stranger Danger" education kicked in and I refused, to her visible irritation. I figured being a married man I just didn't need a gorgeous Chinese woman in my life. I later found out that we often rode the same commuter bus, she had recognized me, and just wanted me to ride shotgun so she could use the express lane (a mutually beneficial arrangement, we'd both get home faster, and a fairly common thing for people who rode the commuter buses to do on days someone happened to drive). Every time I saw her on the bus afterward, she stared daggers at me. Probably not a spy though.
Have I mentioned that I am a complete fucking idiot?

I saw a very nice '66 Impala Super Sport coupe at the car show this weekend. White over red/black, 327 engine, auto floor shifter, aftermarket wheels. To think that those once cost $3500 new, and in the early '80s were probably dirt cheap --!

I think she expected me to get it. It happens all the time, it's ordinary and customary. But me being both new and kinda not very observant about my fellow commuter bus passengers . . . . Also, it's taking place in rush hour traffic, so it kinda needs to happen quickly.
To this day, I feel a little bad about it. I thought about trying to explain afterward once I realized what had happened. But really where to begin. "You pretty, me potato." Just better to accept that I'm a doofus. On the bright side, I guess I'm too gormless to ever be lured into a honey trap.

I vaguely recall reading that someone mocked Eric Swalwell for getting duped by Fang Fang, because she tried flirting with him first and failed. (Victor Davis Hanson?) I forget the details, and you can't believe everything on the internet anyway. But it's plausible that a spy would cast a wide net.

Oh, I developed a good social manner, fostered by my work on stage in the Drama Club and as a theatre major in college. It worked for me many a time, as for instance when I met Mrs. Wolfus No. 2, and Miss Linda almost ten years later. I just failed to pick up on cues sometimes because I was involved with someone else, or for other, less comprehensible reasons.

When Stirling was little, he'd often reach up toward the top of the TV. Back when I had a 75-lb. CRT, that would not have been a problem, but even with his minimal weight back then he could have pulled the modern TV over. Now he weighs fourteen lbs. Fortunately he's lost interest in such things.

I would politely decline the overture. My next call would be to a man who killed her - very, very violently - and left her remains somewhere very public, at the nearest known Chinese listening post. Perhaps on their doorstep.

The modern hovering or helicopter parents --! If I drive through a school zone in the morning or afternoon, invariably I see a line of SUVs waiting to drop little Brattina or Thugley off. There's a sidewalk, Mommies. If you have to drive the little monsters to the school, why can't you let them get out and walk the remaining half block instead of sitting like an idiot in line burning gas?
If they'd had rules insisting parents do that when I was a kid, I'd have had to quit school after sixth grade.

I bought a used one once when I was 20-ish.
Not as fancy. It had a spray on vinyl top and shifter on the column -- in an Impala. Sold it in good faith to a vietnam vet who was missing his right hand. Yes, he shifted. He returned it angrily a month later because the clutch went out.
Shouldn't have been my problem, used car and all, but I saw the missing hand and gave him his money back

The CEO is extremely unlikely to have process details at hand for her to "spy" on. As a matter of fact, it would amaze me if he knew much more than publicly released info.
No, her job was to convince him to release production chips to China, in contravention of the US embargo. I'm sure she had some devious plan for actually moving parts surreptitiously in Chinna.

Some AI stuff you might not have seen Nicolas Cage Refused to Sign an AI Waiver From Amazon
Nicolas Cage says he is unwilling to allow artificial intelligence to be used in his performances, revealing that he declined to sign an AI waiver while working on the Prime Video series Spider-Noir. Speaking at New York Comic Con on Saturday, the 62-year-old actor criticized Amazon’s investment in AI and questioned how performers can maintain their place in an industry undergoing rapid technological change. “I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club. I didn’t sign the waiver to let him use AI on Spider-Noir. I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again, but that’s okay.” Cage says he is still trying to understand how actors could adapt to an entertainment industry increasingly shaped by new technology. “I’m trying to find a way of surviving with film performance in a very different world that is growing exponentially with so much information, so quickly,” the actor says. *** The use of AI remains a contentious issue in Hollywood, with performers and writers raising concerns about its potential effects on their work. Industry unions, including SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America, have negotiated contractual protections addressing the technology. The emergence of AI-generated performers like Tilly Norwood has added to questions about how the industry will manage its use. ***I'm generally a fan of Nic Cage. Don't have any reason to dislike him. But if he or other over-paid actors and actresses get culled from the industry because of AI, maybe they can "learn to code". *** Elvis Presley’s music owners file new lawsuit against AI music generator
“If you go into deepfake land, it has none of your points of view. That’s scary. It’s going to be interesting to see how humans deal with these technologies.” Actors like Ian Holm and Val Kilmer have been controversially resurrected from the dead with AI technology.
A group that owns the rights to Elvis Presley’s musical catalog filed a new lawsuit on Friday against SUNO, an AI music generator. “Suno is the embodiment of why the ELVIS Act [Ensuring Likeness, Voice, and Image Security] was so essentially required. All of the humanity, history, despair, and triumph that constitutes Elvis’ identity was stolen and is stored on servers and harnessed by Suno to make massive amounts of money, despite Suno being there for none of what it took to create, maintain, or attempt to live up to this image, and without license, permission, or payment,” the lawsuit stated. This comes after the group sued artificial intelligence company Anthropic for alleged copyright violations last month in a federal court in Northern California. The group also claims Anthropic used some of Elvis’s most famous musical works, including “All Shook Up,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and “Don’t Be Cruel,” to train its AI agent Claude without the owners’ permission.*** Gig workers are using AI to fight deactivations on apps like Uber and Instacart Article is paywalled but maybe one of you can use AI to find a workaround?
A rich burgundy shaggy faux fur jacket layered over a sleek black midi slip dress, finished with strappy black heels and a delicate silver drop pendant? It’s festive, soft, polished, and perfectly on-trend for holiday parties, dinners, and nights out. The same exact aesthetic can run you $1,327 or just $143 at Target. That’s a difference of more than $1,180. Here’s the side-by-side breakdown. The Luxe Version: $1,327
- • Burgundy shaggy faux fur jacket by Yumi — $355
• Black midi slip dress by Vince — $398
• Black strappy heels by Tory Burch — $295
• Silver drop pendant necklace by Roseate — $275
The Target Version: $143
- • Burgundy shaggy faux fur jacket by Wild Fable — $55
• Black midi slip dress by A New Day — $35
• Black strappy heels by Berness — $36
• Silver drop pendant necklace by A New Day — $17
Now, Piper, you may be thinking… what if I want an everyday look that’s put together and timeless? I got you, fam. A Fairisle sweater, corduroy jeans, and ankle boots. This combination is the definition of elevated casual: the classic Fairisle pattern adds just the right amount of visual interest, corduroy brings texture and a bit of structure, and ankle boots ground the whole thing. Luxe Version (~$1,991)
- • Favorite Daughter sweater — $298
• Corduroy jeans by Frame (Le Slim Palazzo Patch Pocket Pants) — $348
• Louboutin Vibella Booties (in honor of Melania) — $1,345
Target Version (~$70)
- • A New Day Fairisle sweater — $18
• Universal Thread Corduroy Jeans — $28
• Microsuede ankle boots by A New Day — $24
The price gap is enormous again, yet the overall silhouette and vibe stay remarkably close. You won’t get the exact fabric hand-feel, the designer hardware, or the longevity of those Louboutins, but you’ll still look polished and put-together for a fraction of the cost. Let’s be honest, y’all, the pieces are not identical. The higher-end versions usually have better materials, construction, and staying power. But budget doesn’t have to be the reason you skip a beautiful outfit. You can shop the high-end version for elevated quality and longevity, or assemble the affordable version in one trip to Target and still walk out the door feeling stylish.
----- Thanks, Piper!
Color us nostalgic. Sony has brought back the MDR-3-series headphones that debuted in 1979 alongside the Walkman TPS-L2 cassette player. Originally called the “MDR-3L2,” the first Walkman headphones were known for their sleek, adjustable gray plastic headband, which extended via metal sliders and ended in signature orange, circular ear cushions. The lightweight, on-ear headphones are a contrast to the bulky headsets that are popular these days, which use wide, cushioned headbands for long-term comfort and large earcups that can support big drivers and are often heavily padded for noise isolation. *** New headphones are often wireless these days, but the MDR-3R continues the wired tradition of the MDR-3, with an essential twist: a USB-C connector.Might have to grab a pair of those!

Speaking of, I see that nVidia's Jensen Huang is the latest guy to fall victim to a Chinese honeypot.
The ChiCom spy in question goes by Alice Huang (no relation to Jensen). Going by an image search, she looks pretty tasty.
It's not just mooks like Eric Swalwell. Even geniuses like Huang are sometimes guilty of letting the little head do the thinking for the big head.

I can just see M in it. The Target version, probably.
Job updates:
The folks I did a road trip to interview with said 'thanks but no thanks' finally (kinda expected, not really a great match as it was a junior-mid role and I'm mid-senior experience, and I was surprised they asked for the in-person 2nd-round, but it's still frustrating).
Desperately praying that last Monday's interview gets good news early this week. God has a history of having me start new long-term positions around Veteran's Day.
Subbing again tomorrow.

the 62-year-old actor criticized Amazon’s investment in AI and questioned how performers can maintain their place in an industry undergoing rapid technological change.
======================
They can't. That's the point. AI will replace you narcissistic, overpaid, overrated drug abusers with personas that are just as gratifying to viewers as you, but that never hold up a set for three hours while they sleep off a hangover or tell the press that their Disney source material is "weird." Your AI replacements will not need makeup or hair or wardrobe or filters. Voice actors will record the lines and body models will mime the action. You're not needed.
Now fuck off back to the stage from whence you came. That is the future of human acting. You'll actually have to show up and do the job live -- like waitresses, bus drivers, kindergarten teachers.

Yeah.... it was almost as amusing as when "grunge fashion" was trendy for a short time, and you saw epicene persons in Manhattan and Los Angeles running around wearing flannel shirts.
The whole point was that the grunge bands eschewed the spandex and glitter boots for normal, everyday attire from the PNW. This apparently went right over people's heads.

Polar fleece pretty much eliminated the wool sweater in the late 1980s. I have an entire wardrobe of classic wool sweaters in a cedar chest I could never, ever part with because they are exquisite, expensive and obtained from as far away as Ireland.
But I will never likely wear them again because..
They are too hot.
The nearest dry cleaner is 60 miles away.
Fashion only looks good on the young.
But boy are they pretty, and maybe I could now pawn them off in hopes they'd get actually get worn instead of being food for the moths.

Assuming the arc distance is small to the horizon, which seems reasonable given the size of Earth, such that the arc distance to the horizon can be well approximated by the straight-line distance to the horizon, then if h is the height of the binoculars and d, the straight-line distance to the horizon is a good approximation to the arc distance l to the horizon then the radius r is given d^2 / (2h) - h / 2.

Got the bumper back on my '49 Shoebox Ford project car today. It was broken and twisted, and all rusty and peeling chrome. I straightened it out, welded it up, and ground all the rust and old chrome off with a 36 grit flap wheel, several of them, in fact. Painted the bumper and bumperettes with gloss aluminum paint, and the brackets matte black. Does it look like new? Not even close. But it's no longer the ugliest part of the car. So, a win.

The system with judges was designed to hold them free of direct accountability but there is a problem because the left has designed an alternate system with rewards for ruling how they want (status, access to the powerful, and often cash) and penalties for ruling how they don't (lawfare, physical violence, and social shunning)
In theory one could update judicial code to penalize actions such as these though to get there you would have to remove most of the current judges who are invested in the current corrupt system.

The response from the left was interesting as the most common response was "You people just lost I think'd you have better things to do then fearmonger". Again, the post listed the DSA's stated positions which as the local DSA leader this woman endorsed and likely wrote.
So lefties know their own views look like something normal people would fear and instead suggest we talk about...hope and change?

By 1986 the Soviets knew they were in trouble as with Reagan's rejuvenation of the US economy they were falling farther and farther behind. And SDI would be the nail in the coffin - they would have to give up any hope of being a peer military force to the US or spend into economic destruction.
Gorby was willing to make some compromises previous Soviet leaders weren't but his goal was to maintain communism. And back home some of his peers preferred gambling on WWIII over even his modest reforms.
So Reagan had to essentially string Gorby along. Give him hope that he would sell out America's advantages like Carter before him while not actually doing so, and do it well enough that Gorby's fellow Soviet leaders didn't just remove him and release the balloon in Europe.
And Reagan played it perfectly.
Also note, this is during the time period the left claims he was senile.

Somebody may have mentioned it, but an approximate formula for the distance to the geometric horizon (ignoring refraction ) in miles for an observer height 'h' in feet is simply:
d = 1.22*sqrt(h).
That ignores refraction. It turns out that refraction can be seen as sort of inreasing the effective radius of the Erf, and for standard atmosphere, the refracted effective radius increased by a factor of ~ 7/6, and that gives a factor of d = 1.32*sqrt(h).
That's visible light. For radar, the effective radius is much larger, and that coefficient is about 4.12.

That is one of the more odd things in dealing with the GOPe.
They believe, clearly, that the left isn't able to get on with the killing it incessantly talks about so they can just focus on getting their "generational wealth" even while the left literally backs up their words and murders anyone they see as not of the body.
And even more then Kirk, remember that healthcare CEO they assassinated was every bit a well likely member of the leftwing "polite company" that the GOPers themselves are only sort of part of...

The fact that on the ocean (or something really "flat" in the sense of no local topography and a clear horizon) you see a clean, clear horizon boundary is all the proof you need the earth is not flat.
On an infinite flat plane (or one big enough to approximate it), the horizon would not be sharp, but sort of fuzzy, especially with an atmosphere that somehow behaved the same way it does on earth.

Rep gained 10% total votes vs 2022.
Dem gained 40% vs 2022.
Rep still won comfortably, but it wasn’t the blowout it usually is.
This is a congressional seat that has been Republican since the 90s, in a red state spanning almost exclusively red counties and I mean RED counties like 70-30 levels red in presidential elections.
It wasn’t fraud that caused a massive increase in Dem votes. Unless you believe a bunch of red counties in a red state all got together to help a Democrat cheat.

For example, suppose you photograph an historical landmark for a feature article published in an archeological magazine. And, you own the rights to the photo.
Now, someone using AI requests a photo of the landmark you photographed.

Did we learn nothing from 2020? The cheat doesn’t have to be local. The voting machines are hooked up to the internet. This was proven in court in Georgia. If the machine whose name starts with “D” does this, you can bet your bippie the rest of them do too. If they’re hooked up to the internet then anyone, and particularly highly motivated foreign agents, can manipulate the vote. The algorithm used has already been reverse engineered. It’s just the the Republicans get the Trump vote in 2024 minus 15%, and the Democrats get Kamala 2024 + 15%. Almost all the results follow this except Collins in Maine, where an extra “squeeze” was laid on to insure her loss. Go looking on X. Also expect action 45 days after the election, that would be Dec. 11. This is in accord with Trump’s EO 13848. This will involve the Space Force tracking the scam and delivering a report to the President on that date. This is assuming foreign interference.

I don’t know about other states, but in Texas it DOES have to be local. All 254 counties do their own counting; all 254 counties retain paper copies of each ballot available for recounting. All 254 counties can check the States reported total for their county against their own private reported total
So for there to be cheating responsibile for this in Texas, it would require 254 separate but coordinated fraud operations, existing in even the most conservative counties.
Furthermore, since Paxton, Abbot, and Dan Patrick were all responsible for overseeing the security of this system, it would require their willing cooperation.
There are only two logical options: a) this was a systemic shift in the electorate due to voter dissatisfaction, or b) this was a conspiracy so vast and powerful that it cannot possibly be defeated and its best to just give up now.
I do not believe the latter, thus it would be wise to consider what mistakes we made to get here.

You can’t cheat too blatantly or even someone like you would have to admit it. For example my county remained strongly Republican because that’s who we are. If my county had flipped, it would have been as blatant as the middle of the night “recounting” that went on in 2020. See the video from the Fulton County arena. Nothing could be done about it then, but Trump knew this could happen and has his ducks in a row. Tell me I’m wrong on or around Dec. 11. That’s when the report’s due according to the EO: 45 days after the election.

You can see that one day loss/gain as a smooth thing. Going west one complete circle, the earth "laps" you once. You made one less revolution relative to the sun than your starting point did. Going east, you lap the earth, and make one more solar revolution that the earth.
Doing it the discrete time-zone way, the one day increment would occur at the 180 degree meridian, international date line mark. Going west, you'd increment your day counter. Going east, you'd decrement when you crossed.
Of course, with an accurate uniform clock on board, it wouldn't be a problem anyway. You'd just notice at some point the sun had made one more or one less sunrise/set cycles than the clock indicated.

Just to be pedantic, those outside of Texas most likely don’t know the system we use. When I went to vote, I show my id and am directed to a table top vote machine. I make my selections on the screen, and when I finish and say ok that machine prints out a paper ballot with my selections indicated. I can review it to make sure it accurately reflected my wishes, and I did. As you leave the room you drop your paper ballot off at the ballot box for that polling place.
Each county counts its own paper ballots separately, and only turns the totals in to the state. Each county can then check their own totals against the states totals to make sure they are accurately recorded.

Speaking of the idiot flat earth crap, Dave McKeegan on youtube has become one of the best flat-earth and Moon landing hoax debunkers (these two go together like a hand in a glove). He's a photographer, and he can really get in the details of some of the supposed problems with the Apollo photos and all that (some of the Moon hoaxers aren't flat earth/space-is-fake nutjobs, and they are not as crazy, but they still spew stupidity with a lot of their claims about the problems with Apollo).
Anyway, here's a recent one he did. A surveyor, took some measurements with a theodolite of a light house across the water, in order to show drop due to earth's curvature and all that. The Flerfs argue with this:

The Flerfer's claim that we have some magical "visual angle limit" which accounts for the drop below the horizon (this makes absolutely no geometric, much less physical sense).
You see, one minute of arc corresponds to a certain distance due to this "visual angle resolution limit". And what is that, well about 1 nautical mile, which is the arc length of one minute of arc along a circle with the radius of earth.
The earth isn't a sphere, oh now, it's just entirely a coincidence that this "angle limit" corresponds to a sphere of exactly the mean radius of the earth.

Hispanic/Latino: 41.7%
White/Non-Hispanic: 37%
Black/Asian/Other: 21%
In this election, Hispanics voted 75/25 for Dems (in 2024 it was more like 50/50)
White/Non-Hispanic were about 75/25 GOP
Black/Asian/Other was about 80/20 Dem.
Work out those numbers, and you get 31+9+15 = Dems end up with 55% of the vote, wiping out the GOP at all levels.
( assuming equal turnout, but actually Hispanic turnout was very heavy)

Did your county really change, or were your votes changed for you? After 2020, I don’t trust any sort of electronic voting machine. I know the ones in my state, installed at the insistence of our outgoing Uniparty governor, are designed to be hacked via the internet. This was shown in court, here in Georgia. I don’t believe an extra 20 million Democrats showed up out of nowhere for the midterms any more than Biden got a record number of votes in 2020. Trust your gut: has your county really changed?

This prompted to me to look up the various definitions of "horizon" to make sure I had it straight. I didn't. There are four horizons:
1) Astronomical horizon: This is the flat tangent plane passing through the observer's eye level.
2) Geometric horizon: The actual point where the observer's eye line is tangent to the surface.
3) Apparent horizon: The geometric horizon, but with refraction taken into account.
3) Visual horizon: The actual horizon you see with topography and trees and obstructions in the way.
On a flat 2D plane, 1 and 2 would be the same.

They turned out because Ginojoza (who none of us Anglos knew) ran what was in retrospect a brilliant Anti-ICE campaign on all Spanish Language media, telling them constantly that they were all subject to being hunted down and arrested regardless of their citizenship status. We didn’t even know this was happening, so of course no Republican candidate responded to the claims at all.
I have several Hispanic acquaintances here who’ve told me how effective it was. Plus, Gina is cute and soft spoken, so Mexican Machismo meant every Mexican male had to vote for her. Outside of those two things, the rest was just whatever to them.

Yes, indeed. This also comes into play with the infamous coin rotation "paradox". Same principle at work.
With planets, rotation (spin) and revolution (orbit) there is the general "synodic period" formula, and that 1 revolution difference is easily seen there, as the difference in angular frequency.
Consider an orbiting body that wasn't spinning. The sun would appear to move backwards, west to east. If you got that backwards apparent synodic period as negative, the formula works generally, including for retrograde rotation.
In the case of synchronous rotation (tidal lock), the frequency difference comes to zero, or an infinite synodic period.

I ordered 3 extras and fill them all almost every week, year 'round. Neighbors all have extra bins, too. We use each others' bins when needed. It's a good system, for the price. I couldn't run my truck out to the compost place each week, for the same $. Shhhh! Don't tell the city that!

One of those six ways to Sunday was having him imagine a car driving around us in a circle. The car keeps its nose in the direction of travel (it has to, as that's how steering works), and so completes one rotation about it's own axis per circuit around us. That's exactly how the Moon's tidal lock works.
He objected the car didn't rotate, either, and I realized the problem. His definition of rotation was well, relative to the tangent vector, the direction of travel. His definition was thus the "synodic frequency" which is zero.
That's physically wrong, per the defintion of rotation and accleration relative to an inertial frame, but that's how he thought of it, and there was no convincing him otherwise.

Earth spins as the moon rotates around it's own axis and around the earf. One rotation around the moon's axis = 1 rotation around the earth (given the moon is tidally locked to earth, so we always see the same face) which is around 27.3 days...

So, a circumference of about 24,000 miles.
Rotation of 24 hr period, means the equator is moving at about 1000 miles per hour.
Most any supersonic jet would be faster than that, for racing the sun.

The Erf's rotational speed at the equator is about 1035 mph. The Concorde's cruising speed was Mach 2.02-2.04, 1350 - 1470 mph. Even at the equator, it could easily beat it.
At high latitudes, it was much faster. Take off at sunset from Europe. Take the London to NYC route, which had a rough average latitude of 50N. The rotational speed there is just 660 mph. The Concorde was doubling that.
Take off from London at sunset, and the Sun would rise in the west, solar time running backwards.

Usually, at typical jetliner altitudes, you run into headwind going west (and tailwind going east), so your effective ground speed is less.
However, the Concorde flew high enough this didn't effect it much, maybe no more than a 50mph headwind up there.

Flerfers, grown damned adults, actually argue that the earth can't be rotating, because otherwise you could just hover in a helicopter and have the earth just rotate under you. So, want to go west. Just jump up in a helicopter, and have your destination rotate.
They actually argue this.

Coriolis produces much hilarity. The really dumb ones just deny it exists, while the others make arguments that it's "something else". As an example, one argued that the Coriolis corrections for long range shooting where due to the spin of the projectile, not the earth. Of course, the big glaring problem with that is the latitude dependence of that correction, and how it changes sign in the Southern hemisphere and all that.
And much hilarity with Foucault pendulums. They argue that's a lie, and it's a trick or something.

However, with differential geometry, you can see that precession as the effect of Riemannian parallel transport of the normal vector of the swing plane. They are the same thing, just two different ways of looking at it.
And that shows the consistency of the math and the physics. The Coriolis approach sees that in terms of the fictitious forces of a non-inertial frame. The parallel transport sees it as just that, parallel transport of a local vector on a curved surface.
And, they must agree. The rotating frame transformations have to be consistent with the differential geometry picture.

Cigar of the Week
Any relatively new cigar smoker and certainly any newbies is understandably amazed at the enormous numbers of brands and selections available today. Industry veterans can confirm that it's a golden age in this respect. Well one of the many brands I've never tried - wasn't even on my radar - is Esteban Carreras. My favorite local shop had an event with the Carreras rep, so I snapped up a few of their wares. Among the brand's main lines is the Chupacabra, which is available in a habano, natural, and MSA (Mexican San Andres) version, the last one being the kind I tried. Nice looking dark brown, light in the hand, neatly box-pressed, in this case the toro (6.5 X 54). Mine had a normal finished cap, not the pigtail mentioned in online descriptions, but the foot was indeed a shaggy closed foot as those sources mention. The burn was fairly well behaved, requiring occasional touch-ups. The smoke production was impressive, and the smoke was rich and thick. Draw was perfect. This stick reminded me of a few of my favorite broadleaf or MSA cigars. A distinct sweetness, and notes of chocolate, coffee, earth. Smooth throughout, and with the luxuriant smoke made for an indulgent relaxing experience. Very enjoyable, a good first impression for a new-to-me brand. The Chupacabra Hellcat is available online for $7.25 and up.Excellent as always, rhomboid! Thank you!

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

This was 9MM day - and what a mix! Kuna, FPC, Echelon, two different Legions, Canick Rival, Kimber Micro 9 Rapide, and two different Walthers.
Usual setup, everyone shot their primaries with focus on grip, stance, etc., then switch off. It's fascinating how different such "similar" firearms can feel.
Best new thing for me was the FPC w/Romeo MSR. The FPC was kinda neat, but the Romeo was impressive.
Of course, as we finished up, I took the time to demonstrate the superiority of JMB (PBUH) 1911 in .45...

A few years back, when the FDA (spit) was trying to gut the premium cigar industry, they had commissioned a study on precisely the subject of minors and cigars. Surprise! Minors are no part of the premium cigar market, and the industry doesn't acknowledge their existence. Of course.
Nonetheless they persisted with their idiotic effort. In a blessing that passeth understanding, an Obama-appointed judge who of course is pretty useless overall ruled in the industry's favor. Note: even though *their own study* completely vitiated their purported reason for regulation, they didn't change their approach at all.
Similar to CDC publishing (having funded) the Nth meta-study showing no efficacy for masks in preventing transmission of airborne viruses - the same month (May '20) they changed their official guidance from no masks to oh hell yeah masks. In many ways a clownshow country any more.

I can’t even go there yet mentally. It’s times like these I remember what 9th Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski wrote in a dissenting opinion in 2003:
“The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed - where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.”

Well, if our experience in Canada is any guide, they don't. When the Liberal filth brought in their long gun registry years ago, the compliance rate was very tiny; basically only new purchases got registered. And prosecutions for non-registered firearms basically only occurred when the party involved came to the notice of cops for some other reason, often of their own making.

I went hard short on NVDA using the leveraged NVDQ Friday afternoon. I had about 2/3 of my trading money in it. Basis was about 11.40. It's at 12.40 now. Me +3.6% in the last 20 minutes and about half out.
I was worried all weekend but I kept thinking that there is nothing happening to make the markets happy, so I guessed right.
In answer to your question though, I would have figured 180 as a good entry point in the stocks lifecycle and then figured to top at about 240.
I am not sure any more. I think I am going to keep shorting into any rally since I am very much playing with house money now.

California has its own parallel background check in addition to the Federal one. In 2014 the state of CA
started requiring registration of long guns. You can't buy ammunition in the state unless you have a gun of that caliber registered to you. It's outrageous, and it's obvious that it's not intended to solve or reduce crime.
And, any background check information that was requured to be discarded once the check was finished -- I believe the information was kept to this day in an 'unofficial' database. They won't let it go. Who's going to stop them?

Because some sort of legal action would almost certainly follow any attempt at a hostile takeover attempt, anything not in production at the time court filings get made would likely go into limbo until after it's all over in court. Sure, Beretta would be able to revive models after (if they win, of course), but how much $$ would they have to commit to restart production? If the Ruger workforce decides to leave for better opportunities elsewhere while the court case plays out, replacing the human element might be even harder to replace than the hardware.

Could you make a pistol barrel out of Nikasil alloy, as was used in Chevy Vega (and some Porsche models) engine blocks? The cast alloy contains a mesh latticework of hard silicon crystals in a matrix of aluminum. I expect the wear rate might be quite high, but if the barrels could be made cheap enough to be "disposables", that might not matter.

Go to Dem forums and right now their argument is that the economic stuff they promised isn't really what they are going to focus on - they have to get Trump first.
So expect the economy to be worse then now for the next 2 years with every media organ arguing its Trump's fault.
The first CR should be interested the Dems want to bring back Bidenflation - does Trump say hell no and "let the government shut down" or negotiate with them and print enough dollars for 10% inflation compared to Biden's 20%+?

Wouldn't the barrels have to be thicker in order to compensate for the reduced strength of the materials compared to steel? If so, that would be a big problem for a handgun, where size considerations are important compared to rifles.
IIRC, barrels have to withstand the high pressures resulting from the controlled detonation that results when smokeless powder gets ignited. Substituting weaker metals for this key component's manufacture doesn't seem like a good way to cut costs.

But others (Wilson Combat 1911 magazines, current H&K MP5 magazines, etc.) don't have exterior markings I can see.

As Ed L says, I think the date stamp/mag thing varies quite a bit. Undated mags should be good in states recently adopting the idiotic mag limits.

Interesting that would be an option in a wargame. The Titan II was only deployed in silos in the Conus, and I don' think it had the range to reach Germany, although the Gemini launch vehicle could put a capsule into orbit, so maybe. A bigger problem would be that they were aimed at predetermined targets, and re-aiming them was a major operation.

Until the late 80s the Soviets basically followed the Titan II approach for much of their force - accuracy was "meh" so .... use liquid-fueled designs with enormous lift capacity and put nice BIG warheads on them. As their tech got better, like us they went to much smaller warheads.

A possible outcome of a possible burning time is that we will own whatever the heck we want and our very limited 'government' will say nary a word about it.

Hey, I've got a great idea! Let's give an Army Sergeant a nuke whose range is less than it's lethal radius!

That's what shelter is for. A substantial vehicle, or a berm, or a trench.

Speaking of, I see that nVidia's Jensen Huang is the latest guy to fall victim to a Chinese honeypot.
The ChiCom spy in question goes by Alice Huang (no relation to Jensen). Going by an image search, she looks pretty tasty.
It's not just mooks like Eric Swalwell. Even geniuses like Huang are sometimes guilty of letting the little head do the thinking for the big head.

I have an abandoned Titan II site 300 yards off of the property line at my farm.
I am not nearly as good of shot as the real precision shooting Morons at AOS.
OTOH, I almost had access to a "firearm" where I could ring the steel at 100 yards, 200 yards, 300 yards, 500 yards, 800 yards, and 1,000 yards ... with a single shot!

On the other hand, the richest, most powerful man in the world is Jingpin Xi. I guess if he decides he wants to compromise you, he can do it.
I'm not an operative, but I've been studying that system, and these are the best psychologists in the world. The shit they teach in college is worthless.
Scott Adams clued me in to the real stuff, and I think that's only scratching the surface what they can do to a target.

And of course there's still SCOTUS to slap down egregious infringements.
I crack myself up! Try the veal.

Yeah I give it a coin toss that Roberts stabs us in the back thinking the tide has turned, and have suspected that ACB has been not wanting to play ball on 2A either. Also fairly sure Roberts pushed back on 2A cases to make our older justices hang on longer.
Dems will almost certainly try to either reinstate the NFA taxes or even jack them way up via reconciliation and gope wont do shit. This would create a rather large mess (which was the intent of the lawfare effort on our side, obviously, but either way it will bring enforcement issues to a head).
Long term the big issues are fighting back against state bans, fighting a fed level ban/bad scotus call, and fighting mail order ammo bans, private sale bans, and lead ammo bans and lead free primer (read: 5 year shelf life) mandates. People need to seriously arm up....

Thought experiment. Look at what you have... a lot of guys think they are in good shape with an AR, 500 rounds, a few mags... maybe some pistols and half a case of ball. Some 22s and a brick or two.
Imagine you are in Australia, UK, or France, and that list is what you had in, say, 1995. It's 2026 and there has been no resupply, and shit that is going down is going down. Not a good feel is it.
Do you have enough 22 to train new shooters? Do you have enough centerfire - guns, mags, ammo - not only to cover you and your family through dem shennanigans, but also enough to stash spares? Do you even own anything to throw on to carry some spare mags? Do you have legit boots?
Don't end up like the poor bastards in most other western nations. Don't forget 2013 when an AR mag was $60 and 5.56 was over a dollar a round.
And that's just the arms, not even touching those who don't have more than 5 days of food in the house.
