Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - May 19, 2026 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT is here and ready to whelm you. Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

Oh no - PETA is upset

PETA Raises Concerns About Lopez's Preakness Ride; Laurel Stewards Reviewing Footage

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has raised concerns about the winning Preakness ride by Paco Lopez on Napoleon Solo, suggesting that Lopez raised his whip above his helmet on three different occasions before striking his horse, in violation of HISA regulations.

HISA announced Monday night that they were investigating the concerns.

“The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) is aware of the concerns raised regarding Paco Lopez's ride in the referenced race at Laurel Park,” the organization wrote in an email. “In accordance with the standard regulatory process, the Stewards at Laurel will review the race footage and all relevant facts to determine whether any action is warranted under HISA's riding crop rules. We will defer to the Stewards' independent review and adjudication process and will not comment further while that review is ongoing.”

Look, I'm not saying I don't care about the horsey. But I am saying PETA is asshoe.

Speaking of asshoe - the NAACP tries to stay relevant

NAACP calls for boycott of Southern college sports programs over voting rights

The NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus are calling on Black athletes and fans to boycott the athletic programs of public universities in states that are taking steps that the nation’s oldest civil rights group says are restricting Black voting rights.

Launched on Tuesday, the NAACP’s “Out of Bounds” campaign urges current and prospective Black athletes, their families, alumni and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from major public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation.”

If Black athletes participate in the boycott, it could deplete rosters for powerhouse football and basketball programs across the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference.

The NAACP’s campaign calls out Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and South Carolina as states to boycott, arguing that the athletic programs of those states’ major universities are especially reliant on Black athletic talent and should protect Black political interests.

Sorry, NAACP - your race card is denied.

51 ""Judas Priest's 1984 heavy metal track "Jawbreaker" is a double-entendre. On the surface, it portrays a dangerous, explosive monster. Beneath the heavy metal imagery, it is a cheeky metaphor for oral sex, reflecting frontman Rob Halford’s subliminal, queer-coded songwriting from his time in the closet.""

She wanted me to crop an image to remove something in the background she didn't like. When I forgot to do it because I was busy with PLANNING A BIG EVENT, she took that to HR as "evidence" that I was careless and accused me of malicious non-compliance with her directives.

Yo, Bulg. You were asking about resources to learn about Catholicism. I asked competent authority and he suggested This Is The Faith by Francis Ripley, a very good book I myself used when I returned several years ago. Also the website Catholic.com is full of answers to questions about Catholicism.

I will work tirelessly to free America from Israel's control. I will help build a left-wing, populist alternative that is completely free of Israel. If I'm backing someone, including a presidential candidate, that means I think they are actual Americans, and not servants of Israel.

Fight them on the left, fight them on the right, fight on the hills and on the beaches. But fight to help free your country. The politicians and the national media are on their side. But I think a united America can defeat the people in power and regain our freedom on our 250th Anniversary. I believe in America."

____________

There are people who were pushed into management positions but have no capacity for it. They would have been better left, without prejudice, doing their former jobs.

My own view is that managers should have three responsibilities.

- Try to understand what their subordinates do.
- Get them the resources to do their jobs.
- Defend them from upper management.

Something's working. I don't know if this California Community College was like this before, but now they can't say "Merit Based" enough in their Nursing Program description.

-----------------

Merit-based admission

All applicants must complete course requirements and meet the merit-based admission criteria to be eligible for enrollment in the Registered Nursing program.

The merit-based admission criteria are:

Overall grade point average (GPA)
Number of science repeats (Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology)
Merit-based admissions test
AHCRN* = 1.181 (overall GPA) + 0.160 (Merit-based Admission test) – 0.568 (Number of science repeats)

An applicant with more than four (4) repeats in the sciences (Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology) is not eligible to apply to the RN program.

The merit-based admission test ...

It goes on.

Being a college administrator is a pretty tough gig. The Chancellor and Provost are always breathing down your neck to get things done. Tenured faculty just ignore you. Students (and their parents) are always complaining about something or other. And you never have the resources or support to carry out your mission. The best you can do is coast until retirement.

**********************
We had a small aquarium in the boy's bathroom in FL (during the Chimp Era). The fish lived fairly long for fish with flouride. I noticed one day that the youngest had treated them with toothpaste smeared inside the glass.

He was fairly normal and a sweet boy, all things considered. He did get wild one weekend after bronchitis and nebulizer treatments that got him hyper. Of course the in-laws were visiting and I had to tell them he was not normally like this (doing laps around the house).The one weekend of insanity he picked when they were on a visit.

My nursing co-workers loved when they came because I was a wreak. MIL was always giving me household cleaning tips.We were once doing the dishes and she pulled up the rubber seal and said I needed to use an old toothbrush to scrub that (no idea). AND to get some yarn and wrap around a wire coathanger to get the dust off coils under the fridge. Which meant at one point that visit she was on all fours looking under my fridge.

173 In hindsight, the deciphered codes, directives sent to army groups and commanders show that as the war “progressed” Uncle Adolph became increasingly dogmatic and micromanaging everything. If the allies would have taken this guy out in say ‘43 or ‘44 then the war would have lasted longer.

178 My nursing co-workers loved when they came because I was a wreak. MIL was always giving me household cleaning tips.We were once doing the dishes and she pulled up the rubber seal and said I needed to use an old toothbrush to scrub that (no idea). AND to get some yarn and wrap around a wire coathanger to get the dust off coils under the fridge. Which meant at one point that visit she was on all fours looking under my fridge.

180 (Cont MIL story from above)

I stopped being offended about MIL as the years went on and her neurosis about a spotless house, which I never had. She'd kick all 5 kids out and lock the door to clean and had white carpet when my husband was young.

After FIL died (whom I liked and would tell her to shut it) she was visiting in FL. Boys in college or old enough not to do stupid stuff. I was slugging a gin and tonic and watching her swim laps as I cooked and proud of our lovely and clean home. And how I'd managed not to flip her out that visit.

She came in and asked if I had any steel wool (no), or Ajax (no), and something else. Nope! Called her son and requested this without asking why.

She wanted to clean his grill AND scrub the BOTTOMS of the PVC pool furniture from scrapes of the pool deck. She saw this horror from the pool and looking for anything to clean.

I thought this was hilarious but did not laugh in front of her. Have at it! Clean everything!

Spinrad was just writing a Golden Age sci fi book, and had the rather arch opinion that era of science fiction was pretty fascistic. Which it was, the mindset was of a scientific or scientific minded elite guiding (or rescuing) the world to a better place. I have read a lot of really old stuff and that is about right for everything that wasn't just a Western book with rayguns.

In a way that was the major change that Campbell brought to Astounding, less trope, more science.

203 The OSS contracted a shrink to put together a psychological profile of Herr Schicklegruber, it was actually fairly accurate and predicted he would probably kill hisself.

The whole thing had a lot of moving parts. Allen Dulles was stationed in Bern, and talking with high level party members who knew the war was lost by early ‘44. The “Unconditional Surrender” was a bit controversial at the time, for one thing it makes people fight to the last. Uncle Joe Stalin didn’t want any negotiated surrender with the West, and the Allies were prepared to let him get away with about anything, for cooperation in the Pacific war.

204 Being a college administrator is a pretty tough gig. The Chancellor and Provost are always breathing down your neck to get things done. Tenured faculty just ignore you. Students (and their parents) are always complaining about something or other. And you never have the resources or support to carry out your mission. The best you can do is coast until retirement.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel

My experience over the years with academic deans and assistant deans, provosts, etc. were not very positive from an administrative standpoint. Too worried about either a) building a resume to bounce somewhere else, b) always worried about raising funds that never somehow trickled down to the academic departments, and c) currying favor with some chosen faculty members.

None of them were concerned much at my school with educating students, just in avoiding student complaints and reputation loss on their watch. A true STEM college might be different but ours was a large institution by the time I left. As in tens of thousands of students which in turn created a bureaucratic nightmare. Wasn't that way when I started.

Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States are getting involved. I think the problem with getting that dust is risking a lot of American lives and a possible debacle if boots are on the ground. Easier to simply let Iran's petroleum industry shut down bit by bit until no money is left to pay for the IRGC lower ranks.

The Kurds in Northern Iran, as he repeatedly has said, took the weapons and starlink terminals that were supposed to be provided to the resistance--some they sold, some they kept. Frankly asshole behavior.

Massie +38.

But 55+ was very anti-Massie. About +30 for Gallrein overall, with 65-75 at +35.

An epic battle of generations. And older people vote at higher rates. So even though younger voters skewed much more heavily Massie there weren’t as many of them as older voters.

But 10 years from now, this same race is won by Massie easily as the biggest group of support for Massie will be much smaller

Hers or mine? She, for sure, had major OCD. MAJOR.After a huge family dinner she and her two daughters were like machines and would wash everything including pans, dry and put away.

I'm laid back with parties, dinners, and daily life. Not a hoarder. Not filthy with crunchy floors or nasty rooms, but not even close to OCD about anything. Clean enough is my motto.

If I have a big dinner party I will clear the table, throw stuff in the dishwasher and soak pans, etc. Wash china/crystal the next day.

Granted, she put china and crystal in the dishwasher, which is a sin in the South. So maybe I'm the screwed up one.

After a surgery I took care of her for one hell week. She'd fret from bed. Closet needed cleaning (looked fine to me but I did it).

My husband married the opposite of her. And may wish now I was more neurotic but too late now, dude.

Other than him marrying up (ha) and a former supermodel breadwinner, he got to have a puppy with me before we married. She only let him have little green Salmonella turtles. So I think he got a bargain.

That MIGHT'VE skewed the youth vote toward Massie to some extent. It didn't seem to me that there were any hot DEM primaries in KY, but I didn't study up on it. Could be wrong.

250 233 >>>But 55+ was very anti-Massie. About +30 for Gallrein overall, with 65-75 at +35.

An epic battle of generations. And older people vote at higher rates. So even though younger voters skewed much more heavily Massie there weren’t as many of them as older voters.

But 10 years from now, this same race is won by Massie easily as the biggest group of support for Massie will be much smaller

The GOP will be a much different party in the not too distant future if these trends continue.

That was a partially online 'interactive' poll. Thus crap. I think I'll wait for a poll with better methodology as internet based 'invite' polling and open polling produces stupidly bad results.

The problem with polling is Random Digit Dialing is dead because a lot of people no longer pick up the phone for anonymous calls, going door to door is too expensive for media polls, and using the internet to email invites and using texts produces really bad samples of convenience, not random at all.

I started listening to them around the sin after sin album.

It was around the british steel album I was in a band that was actually playing out, and by then I started hearing the lyrics with a singer physically in the room, and I really started hearing it.

It was a short 3.5 miles in a little over an hour, with only about 200' of elevation gain. It was Wilderness in name only, most of the time we could hear the cars on Santiago Canyon Road.

Today I had lunch with a group of former colleagues from work. Most retired, some still working. For a couple of hours the years melted away and we were laughing and talking just like when we were supposed to be working....

Looking at actual results, Gallrein won 14 out of 16 counties by substantial margins. He did not win the more urban county or Massie's home county but did respectably.

And Kentucky has closed party primaries that require party switchers to do so at least 28 days in advance or new registrants to do the same. So no last minute surge of new voters or party switchers to save Massie.

265 Right now, I see a divergence in yutes--those that are college track are probably distinct from those working or seeking jobs that do not require a college degree. I think due to the disappearance of illegals in a lot of places, jobs are opening up in construction, restaurants, etc., probably now truck driving, and so on.

Those college bound or in college are scared to death of outsourcing and H1Bs as well as AI taking or preventing them from getting good jobs in the future. And if they are male, they have been shit on in their education throughout the years. I don't think they see Trump as helping them much as it is taking time to kill DEI, decrease H1Bs, spin up new industries, and the question whether AI is going to kill the white collar middle class jobs is up for grabs.

277 My honest estimation is that not using A-bombs on Japan would have lead to the total destruction of Japan. If we would have stayed our hand and proceeded with Operation Olympic and Operation Coronet, we would have incurred a million casualties, but at the cost of the lives of twenty million Japanese men, women, and children. Remember, the Japanese brass wanted to give children sharpened bamboo poles to hold off invading forces. Japan as a nation would not have recovered from a loss of that magnitude. It would have become something else, something no longer Japanese. Just my opinion.

The Air Force brass, some of the commanders sort of thought it was just another bomb, a new weapon that would be placed in the inventory and they could drop them on Japan as they saw fit, like anything else. They had to be disabused of that notion, that’s not how this is going to work.

317 In an alternate universe, the atomic bombs turned out to be very expensive fizzles, as nuclear fission didn't work the way all the egghead scientists thought it would.

As a result, Japan was placed under an extreme blockade, which continues to this day.

It's kind of amazing to me that the devices worked exactly as predicted. They were so sure the gun-type uranium bomb would work that they didn't even test it.

Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at May 20, 2026 12:21 AM (hZ1gu)

326 “Very expensive fizzles”

They built an enormous cast steel container for just this reason, expensive as hell, and shipped it all the way to the Trinity site. The idea was if the bomb test failed, then it would hopefully contain the plutonium that had been laboriously accumulated at Hanford.

There were a few well meaning sorts who were not in favor of nuking Japan, that a “demonstration” test should be done instead, and this would persuade Japan to surrender. But among many logical arguments against this, what if you setup this big demonstration test, and it doesn’t go off? Now what?

Before giving up on the idea, some very long gun type assemblies for plutonium were constructed. Like, 30' feet long. I think they called the design "Thin Man." As plutonium was studied, they came to understand that even the velocity from a barrel that long would not be enough.

336 But wasn't there only so much Uranium 239 for only one bomb? The second Plutonium type was easier to procure once you got the process going.

I wonder if they picked the Aioi Bridge as the visual aimpoint so that in case LB-U239 bomb failed they could have followed up with conventional raids to hinder any J recovery efforts.

340 All of us in Texas are both laughing and rolling our eyes at the woefully ignorant comments by Christie, High Hewitt, and other uniparty out of state hacks.
First: Trump’s endorsement is nice, but that’s just him jumping on a bandwagon. Everyone paying close to attention knows that Paxton has been way ahead of Cornyn for weeks. Texas Republican voters are sick to death of Cornyn, and are eager to give him the boot. I expect the margin in the race to be similar to the Gallrein/Massie results, maybe even better.

Second: the idea that Talerico is going to be some big vote getter is part of Democrat talking points that the Uniparty/nevertrumpers have lapped up. The whole case comes down to this - Talerico pretends to be a preacher and says Jesus a lot, and Texas voters are all ignorant hillbillies who will vote for someone says Jesus, even if he says that it would have been ok if Mary aborted Jesus, because his god loves abortion. (Yes, Talerico really said that). And when you think it can’t get any worse, he even said he hates barbecue and won’t touch it because it’s not vegetarian

That pathetic false preacher is going to be one of the biggest flameouts this fall.

346 FWIW, I dug into that poll regarding Kentucky 4th and with crosstabs on age. It was not an exit poll but something done by BigDataPoll polling outfit. They tracked that race several times with a poll of about 400 Likely Voters using text invites an online website or replying to the text to a selection of Kentucky 4th voters.

Puts their results at about 95 percent confidence interval as stated with sample size which makes diving them up into age cohorts practically useless error wise. I also caught that they had something like 81 percent of their sample claiming they were sure to vote.

Turnout shows that sample was not representative. KY 4th has about 310k total GOP registered voters, about 100 k turned out. So turnout was about 33-34 percent of all registered GOP voters in that district.

So, their likely voter screening was crap. I would be leery of relying on this poll for any real results given these problems. If you notice, the margin that Gallrein won was beyond the confidence interval of +-4 percent.

There is always a bit of interesting data to be gathered from any sample and it was mainly about campaigning. Gallrein did not use door knockers but Massie did

The gun type would theoretically work with nearly pure Pu-239. The problem was trace amounts of Pu-240, which has a high spontaneous fission rate, which causes pre-detonation with the gun type. It's nearly impossible to to separate them enough to get the near 100% purity needed.

Also, even if you could purify it, they were going to need a pretty long barrel, requiring a very long bomb, that was very unstable aerodynamically (tended to go into a spin), even if you had a long enough bomber to drop it.

I read recently that the maximum level of 240 that could be tolerated for bomb use was 6%, and that super-grade plutonium 239 with 2% 240 isotope was made for use in confined spaces -- Navy ships and submarines, to minimize crew radiation exposure.

Yeah. With the implosion type, over that 6% or 7% limit will start causing timing problems making a fizzle more likely. Also the heat gets to be a problem for the device sitting there.

Now, reading, apparently in the Fat Man days, they could tolerate only about 1% in the earlier implosion designs. As that tech gets better, they can handle more Pu-240.

The key is how fast you can implode it. The slower, the less 240 you can tolerate.

404 Incidentally, I'm a bit disappointed in the Oregon primary results. We only have runoffs for non-partisan positions, like circuit court judge or county commissioner; otherwise, the Republican with the most votes is the party nominee. And for governor, I thought that either the 2nd or 3rd-place finisher would have a better chance against incumbent Tina Kotek (D).

My vote was for State Rep. Ed Diehl, who came in 2nd, as the best overall package; and I read somewhere that 3rd-place ex-Trailblazer Chris Dudley polled favorably against Kotek. (It's actually a purple state, maybe even leaning red, if not for Motor Voter and the Magic Mail-Ins.) But State Sen. Christine Drazan is higher up in the party machine, and easily cleared the bar, so... time to pray.

69 Massie, a refresher.

"It’s hard to overstate how big of a thorn in Trump’s side Massie has been – and how great of a victory Gallrein’s win is for the president. Massie has opposed Trump on every significant initiative he has proposed. He voted against bills to keep Trump’s government funded and opened. He voted against the Big, Beautiful Bill, the historic package containing the bulk of Trump’s campaign platform. He partnered with radical Democrat Ro Khanna from California to force through a bill ostensibly to release what is known as the Epstein files, but which instead caused trouble for Trump – who is not credibly accused of any wrongdoing and has been revealed to have been one of the first prominent celebrities to sound the alarm on Epstein, even banning him from Mar-A-Lago – and halted his agenda, while resulting in no additional perpetrators being brought to justice.

Put simply, no Democrat has been as effective as stopping Trump’s agenda as Thomas Massie has been. And now, after Trump went all-in to take him out, his political career is over."

Hope Massie's dick falls off for all his troubles.

77 Gizmo wasn't my dog, he was hers.
He was a malshipoo, a Maltese, Shih Tzu and Miniature or Toy Poodle.
Like to warble for attention, like the movie namesake; that's how he got the name.
He was a tall, fuzzy brown and white goof sometimes with attitude. But he always listened, loved to just be near.
He really liked stretching those long legs and running away from all the other dogs.
Nothing made him happier than the time he found the mud puddle in the back yard. Running around in big loops as fast as he could to circle back to slide and splash through the mud.
Completely exhausted, completely covered in mud and completely happy.
What a sight.
Goodbye little buddy: Hope you're running, splashing and playing in heaven.

95 Well, I filled out my Oregon mail-in ballot and put it in the nearby official drop-box (in the library parking lot, next to the drive-thru book return). Had to be there by 8 p.m. and it's not yet 5:30.

Also signed up online to receive text message updates on its progress, where the online dashboard helpfully tells me that it's 1/3 Outbound, where the next steps are 2/3 Received and 3/3 Accepted. That's actually pretty slick. The brief sign-up form let you limit the times they would send a message, and I accepted the default of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., which means I won't get any updates until tomorrow (since they won't even collect it from the drop box until the quiet time). Received the welcoming text message and replied Yes to confirm. With the Silicon Forest and everything, Oregon prides itself on being fairly hip to the tech, and this does seem to be well-done.

First run-through in rehearsal, our lead singer sang "There is nothing worse than an ugly German person" and we all stopped playing and lost it cracking up! The line is: "There is nothing worse than an undetermined person."

Lead singer was embarassed but managed to say in his defense "well, my version IS true!"

And, after a couple of delays, looks like Elon and SpaceX are shooting for Thursday, the 21st, for the Starship v3 test launch. You can check out SpaceX X for some pics of the rollout of the massive thing.

Unlike NASA, SpaceX doesn't do vertical stacking, but they stack the Ship and the big booster at the pad using the massive tower arms. They do a lot of stacking and unstacking in the testing and checkout before a launch.

They are constructing a big "Gigabay" facility down at Starbase which will apparently be able to do vertical assembly at some point.

I just feel for the people of District 4, while Massie was gallivanting around with his mistresses and Massie's Nasties, the district was not being represented.

That is what happens when a person's ego and bile against Jews and Israel ends up corroding one's soul. I think his and his supporters political attacks on Israel and his harping on Epstein when it was shown nothing was there doomed him.

And most of the district wanted no part of that nasty flirting with real life Not Sees and Muzzies pushing Massie for their own evil reasons. Killed whatever libertarian message, if any, that Massie was actually pushing.

If he had stopped at simply criticizing government spending and debt or even criticizing the war against Iran, he would have stayed in office most likely. He had to go into the gutter.

It doesn't matter what the party preference polls say, if you have insane, bankrupt candidates, you will lose.

288 Yup. It sounds good, but once you're out of office, you lose your grip on the levers of power. The last thing a President Vanciotis wants is someone running a shadow presidency.

HARRISON COUNTY, Ind. — An Indiana man is behind bars after police say he was found dancing in the roadway while holding a rare box turtle and carrying methamphetamine.

Indiana DNR officials announced Tuesday that a man had been arrested in Harrison County after conservation officers found him “dancing” along a local street. The man was reportedly holding an Eastern Box Turtle, which DNR said is illegal.

And again, do you think another Repub president wants him interfering and inserting himself? There's a reason we used to have a policy that ex-presidents largely recused themselves from politics. The only reason Obama is doing it and the Dems haven't told him to STFD and STFU is because they don't have a leader of the party now. That will not be the case with president Vanciotis.

On another level, I think Melania will tell him "Enough!"

I think the campaign funds were his payout. Same with his crony and aid Gabe Sterling who ran the office during the 2020 fraud and ran for Sec. of State. And it ended the career of Chris Carr, cowardly AG who saw no evil and heard no evil.

Jackson, the late parachuted in billionaire candidate by courtesy of Kemp's state contracts, dropped a cool $100 million of his own money on the governor's race. I think he was put into the race because Carr and Ratshitburger had no chance at winning clearly by the time Jackson entered.

Jackson is currently running second to Trump endorsed Burt Jones bu the race will go to a runoff. Democrat candidate for governor is Keisha Lance Bottoms who quit her job as Atlanta mayor because she was so bad at ait. Did not run in 2022 for reelection.

First to the former and absolutely not to the latter. I don't think The Donald could explain basic math. He's just too scatter-brained.

He is not a great communicator. He's shitty at it. But he's blunt - in a completely awful way. His greatest advantage is he's operating in a relative vacuum.

Because no other President or President Hopeful in my lifetime had the balls ... or insanity ... to just say it like it is. Not Reagan - don't throw out his name either.

I'm glad I don't know anything about Massie except what I've read here. One less problem to worry about!

Also, is anyone catching up on the San Diego mosque shooting yesterday? Lauren Chen says those two guys were a transgender couple.

Georgia is a runoff state so it takes 50 percent +1 to avoid that. We will see if Collins can meet that. Same with Burt Jones. Early on reports from rural areas and we won't see urban/suburban Atlanta until later. Polls aren't closed in Fulton and Cobb at the very least due to voting problems and a judicial order keeping the polls open.

Yep. Dooleys pushed Kemp for SoS and later as Governor when he was a state senator representing Athens/Oconee County. Vince Dooley's wife back in the day ran for Congress (lost) and was a political talk show host in Athens for years.

Pushing Dooley's son for Senate by joint campaigning with him was Kemp's f/u to Trump.

85 This relates to one of ace's earlier posts on certain "youths" and violent activities. Just dug into an old 80s-early 90s mix of hip hop & rap from my college years. Something stands out - almost every bit of the popular stuff was on the happy, goofy silly side. I selectively enjoyed quite a bit back then and still do despite being an old school rocker. But then things changed as the genres gained more widespread popularity traction - it turned more and more filthy crude and violent. Hip hop died off and rappers attacked one another in "songs" and in the streets. Sound familiar?

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at May 19, 2026 07:29 PM (0N4FZ)

==========================

Democrat votes are irrelevant. This is a Republican primary. Trump by 21 just means there's more Republicans - meaning there are a lot of R primary votes there.

Massie needed to win big in the high population areas, and he's losing across the board.

The Masshole meltdown is already happening and it's glorious.

Used to be a couple like that up the street from me. One was a gay guy who dressed like a woman but had a big brushy mustache. The other was a woman who had her breasts chopped off (one of my neighbors saw her with her shirt off and saw the scars) and dressed like a guy. A process server kept trying to come around serving papers to the guy that dressed like a woman, for child support, of all things.

Nobody on our street could figure out what was attracted to what. Eventually they broke up and last I heard the guy who dressed like a woman was living on the streets and the woman with her breasts chopped off had gone home to her rich parents in California.

Yep but the Democrats are now smuggling in ringers to run as Republicans in states where they can't win directly. Lots of nasty stuff going in Georgia including state Supreme Court races where Stacey Abram's sister (a federal judge) issued an injunction preventing the judicial ethics board of Georgia from slapping two democrat supporter judicial candidates with sanctions.

The two female candidates were telling voters how they would rule on abortion if elected.

Fani Willis funded a challenger to a Court of Appeals judge who authored the opinion that made her step down from the fake electors case.

And the Georgia sitting secretary of state is running for governor and refused to recuse from the election. His key aide is running for secretary of state and likewise refused to recuse from the election. Thoroughly corrupt behavior aided by an AG that hears no evil and sees no evil, and a corrupt pos Governor.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh


Vote integrity has always been a problem everywhere.
Thus is why the vote should always be presumed to be corrupted and allow for poll watchers from time a ballot is dropped into the box until final tabulation. Literally follow the box, watch it get emptied, counted etc.

It's also why electronic voting and remote/mail in voting is inherently corrupt.

Probably an entire chapter of not eating lunch with anyone but your wife. I've eaten lunches with married doctors in restaurants and we kept our pants on, dikhead. Plus I told my husband and he did not seem worried about an adultery quickie. It can be done. His own special Karen must be worried and nags him a lot.

Who woke him up, anyway? I was happy not remembering him at all.

The biggest twit who almost became VP is Ryan. Sweating Ryan, freaking out on a beach in the Daytona rally with 10k people, snipers, and the Coast Guard to my left in the Atlantic. I can read people and this man was terrified that someone would use his widow's peak as a pointer. He could not get off that stage fast enough. Not impressive.

Then I saw him on FOX and they offered him a birthday cake. He reeled from that poison sugar like it was a cobra in a basket. It was very weird and the dingbat host looked startled at this while I laughed. He would not take one bite and broke out in a sweat again.

thuneschoice.jpg

Some of you are approaching 29 years old and so might have learned that any time a Republican defeats a Democrat, it's an Assault on Democracy (TM), and Democrats rush to change the law to forbid whatever fascist factors caused Democracy to Die in Darkness.

The fan-made pro-Spencer-Prat ads are funny, and are persuading people, so Democrats have decided that these are "AI Deep Fakes" which are tricking the stupid sheep voters into believing that Karen Bass is the Joker, Kamala Harris is the Riddler, and Spencer Pratt is some kind of hybrid Superman/Batman superhero.

The people must be protected against this kind of RUSSIAN Misinformation.

So they're agitating to ban all fan-made AI ads:

Michael Shellenberger
@shellenberger

5h

Governments should censor AI "deep fake" videos, many say, because they threaten democracy. But there is no evidence they ever have. The reason legacy gatekeepers are panicking is that AI disrupts their business model and fuels underdogs like LA mayoral candidate @spencerpratt


AI-generated "deepfake" photos and videos, like the ones being put out by supporters of Los Angeles Mayoral candidate @spencerpratt, are a threat to democracy, say many. "These Pratt social videos are catchy but...they are also 100% deep fakes," said political consultant @murphymike. "In fact, Pratt for Mayor is the most AI deep fake-driven campaign I've ever seen.... There is no disclaimer on them. They're not officially from his campaign... not sure who's paying for this stuff."


The people think that Kamala Harris is the Riddler who drives around in a Riddlermobile?

The ads depict LA as a post-apocalyptic hellhole. This is obviously a parody that no one believes.

Wait a tic... they do believe this.

But they recognize the AI ads as an exaggeration of the truth.

...

Deepfakes, argued the Brookings Institution in 2023, "threaten to undermine" the "trusted information environment" democracies depend on. "Government needs to step up to protect elections from AI-generated deepfake video and audio," demanded the progressive Brennan Center in 2024. Stanford researchers warned that political deepfakes remain easy to generate and difficult to detect.

I personally had little difficulty telling the difference between the Castroist Communist Incompetent Karen Bass and the fictitious comic book character The Joker. I mean, they do share an ideology of chaos and misery, but they are plainly distinct.

Governments are acting. State legislatures have targeted election speech, satire, and political ads that use altered images or voices.

But the facts do not support deepfake alarmism, which activists, journalists, and policymakers are using to impose censorship.

The Spencer Pratt advertisements are obviously fake...

And a 2025 Cambridge paper on deepfakes and democracy concluded that, despite years of warnings, "there is no evidence" that deepfakes have produced the predicted election interference.

The idea that Pratt's viral AI-made ads undermine democracy is absurd. Filmmaker @charliebcurran produced a 99-second Batman-themed AI-made ad on May 5, 2026.

The ad depicts Mayor Karen Bass in Joker makeup, Governor Gavin Newsom dressed as a male Marie Antoinette eating cake, former Vice President Kamala Harris chugging vodka while declaring "Bass already solved crime, I endorse her," and Councilmember Nithya Raman as a puppet saying "let's move the drug addicts closer."

As such, the Pratt ads make the fraud theory of political deepfakes even harder to sustain. A nonpartisan researcher told CBS Sacramento that "as far as we know, Spencer Pratt is not Batman." Noted one strategist, "the Spencer Pratt spot is exactly what AI should be, which is using innovation and technology to make an interesting ad that is not trying to fool voters."

So why all the deep fake alarmism?...

Because Democrats are losing and that means Democracy Has Failed Yet Again.

Post here with a video report.

Here's another ad. Most people can tell that this is a humorous ad. And this ad featuring Spencer Pratt as a Lego character in a Lego LA sure is deceptive. You and I may know that real people aren't made of Legos, but some people -- Democrat voters -- might be stupid enough to believe it's all really real. And we must Protecc Retards.

Note the people complaining that ads showing a Lego Spencer Pratt must be criminalized because their retard voters might think they're real are the exact people who have pushed the Very Fine People Hoax for ten years straight.


Three months ago, Thomas Massie -- who today lied to voters and claimed a 2022 endorsement was a current endorsement -- smeared Trump as part of the "(((Epstein Class)))."

If you don't think he's trying to smear Trump as a Dirty Jew Sympathizer, you haven't seen him claiming that only (((outside))) Jewish money is causing him to lose his race. Meanwhile, Massie is funded by California far-leftists and Middle Easterners. America First, baby!

Weird how none of Massie's fervent internet defenders can keep the word "Jew" out of their mouths for a single sentence:

massiesdefenders.jpg

Update: Unbelievable. Trump told Massie to take down the false endorsement and Massie doubled down and posted another fake endorsement.

See, he's funny. He's a funny Democrat Nazi.

I'm assuming the three women in blue are Manson Family members. But don't hold me to that. I never read about the case or watched a documentary about it. It was always just too disgusting to even provoke my curiosity.

The Democrats' favorite Totenkopf tattoo Nazi is getting more bad press. Eh, I don't really care about this all that much:

In the comments, he discussed masturbating in public toilets and praised crude graffiti, according to Fox News.

In one comment on a post in March 2017 on Reddit's r/Military forum about nostalgia over smells in the military, Platner said, "I still have to j--k o-f every time I sit in a portas----er [portable toilet]... that blue water smell conditioned me."

The comment was posted under the account "P-Hustle," which Platner previously confirmed was his. It's since been deleted.

In another post, in March 2021, on Reddit's r/USMC forum, Platner wrote about a drawing of a penis inside a portable toilet, calling it "beautiful" and "engorged and veiny."

Platner enlisted in the Marines in 2003 and served three combat tours in Iraq.

Just the News has reached out to Platner's campaign for comment.

Platner has also been questioned about other posts including a now-deleted one from 2013 in which he stated people concerned about rape should not "get so f---ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to."

Most of that is just failed Edgelord "humor" of the kind that was popular among unfunny people from 2005 to 2015, when they all turned bitter censors and began cancelling people for the same jokes they used to make.

Here's what I think is more serious: Platner laughed at a video of an American serviceman getting shot by terrorists and said that the "motherf***er didn't deserve to live."

In 2019, seven years ago, when he was 34-years-old, Graham Platner logged into reddit and posted a response to a video of an American soldier being shot by the Taliban.

Platner wrote:

"This video never gets old. Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat."

Think about each line. "This video never gets old." Platner's implying he's watched the video several times and enjoys it. "At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt."

That's what Platner thinks about his fellow Americans at war. If they're not good at killing or broader tactics, he has contempt for them. He displays no empathy. The opposite, in fact.

The man that Platner is commenting on, by the way, is Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was a 37-year-old father of two serving in Afghanistan at the time of the incident (2012). The bad tactic Platner enjoys mocking? Daniels stepped into the open deliberately to draw Taliban fire away from his fellow soldiers so his squad could get to safety.

Daniels was shot four times in this video and, ultimately, earned a Purple Heart.

When the video was initially released (2013), Pfc. Daniels was critical of himself in interviews, saying, "It wasn't the most tactically brilliant thing to do." He described that he was embarrassed by the video; that people could hear him screaming for help. But, also, he said: "I put my ass on the line for other guys."

Then, we have, again, Graham Platner, logging into reddit, in 2019, to comment: "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live."

For all those who say, "That's just how Marines talk," I'll tell you: Platner's comment got downvoted by the military community. Even if it didn't: We're not talking about the military anymore. We're talking about a 34-year-old man, years after service, logging in to mock another man who's being shot on video. We're also talking about the U.S. Senate, not boys-will-be-boys or Marines-will-be-Marines.

We're always told to view Platner as a changed man. 2013, when he made the rape apologia comments, was the "darkest point in his life," or so we have been told. So what was going on in 2019, such that Platner enjoyed watching a video of a man getting shot and mocking him? How many arcs of change are there in Platner's life? Was there a specific point where he discovered human empathy?

I couldn't help but think of that specific reddit comment while watching the video below. "Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles away from home," Platner says. Didn't he log in to reddit seven years ago to say, "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live" ?

I don't like being lied to.

11 FWIW, I think the really obvious fakes can just have some common sense type excuse that they don't need a disclaimer.

But I will admit, I have passed along video of a politician saying something serious and it ended up being AI bullshit.

I wouldn't be opposed to some watermark having to be there, I don't know if that really is a liberal vs conservative issue. It's also almost unenforceable, but I'm not totally against the concept.

16 In the comments, he discussed masturbating in public toilets and praised crude graffiti, according to Fox News.

In one comment on a post in March 2017 on Reddit's r/Military forum about nostalgia over smells in the military, Platner said, "I still have to j--k o-f every time I sit in a portas----er [portable toilet]... that blue water smell conditioned me.

I seriously doubt he would pick one of the trio of weirdos.

He planned and shot a man in daylight and killed him. It is on video. (I almost said broad daylight but never understood that or "cold blood" as blood is initially warm).

The money quote from this pig. That's okay because Platner has a 100% disability rating due to combat injuries he suffered both physical and PTSD so he can say whatever he wants right? I don't dishonor Platner's service and what he went through, just that he feels so free to dishonor others.

56 I still think in horror that Hillary coining the term "fake news" wasn't an attack on Trump:
It was to lay the groundwork--via Garland's 5th vote--to legalize FCC and FEC regulations that fully gutted the 1st Amendment.

All under the guise of "reasonable regulations to prevent the spread of misinformation."

And the only thing that stopped that was a New York City billionaire playboy, in a fit of pique at being personally insulted by Obama, decided to run for President.
And he barely took the campaign seriously until near halfway through.
And even then, never really expected to win.

Deepfake should be a word that applies only to altered videos that the reasonable person (granted, a dying breed) can't easily pick up cues that the video is altered.

I don't dishonor Platner's service and what he went through, just that he feels so free to dishonor others.

She also cuts her own bangs. I know because I cut mine when I was 4yrs old and started the asymmetrical style for awhile. Haven't worn bangs since.

Which brings me totally O/T to when I see (on tv) women with bangs/hair layers in their eyes... it bugs me almost as much as large facial moles that you could hang jewelry from.

I'd go mad with hair in my eyes like Goldie Hawn's. Who needs to see a dermatologist badly (I hung in there briefly before mentioning that I am a derm). That woman ruined her skin and can afford laser treatments at the very least. Goodness.

My daughter cut her bangs once. She was maybe 10, and wanted them cut - I told her to think long and hard because it will take over a year to undue. So we were in the Daiso soon after and did you know they sell these "fake bangs" in Japan? They can do that because all Japanese have the same hair. There were three types, depending on how thick the hair was but all same color and straight. She bought one and loved it as it was bangs and you could not tell it was fake. Even up close. But she could not wear it at school since Japanese schools do not allow hair decorations and they would know.

So after a few weeks of playing with the fake bangs, she cut her own. Immediately hated it and started growing them out. Stupid kid.

We could do a deep dive into the psychology of lots of people in office and those running for office.

My opinion, for what it is worth, is most of them were nobodies growing up. Most of were nobodies in high school and college.

Most of us move on and get jobs, marry and live good life. We don't need recognition and adulations. We get on with life.

The rest are all about I'll show you. You wouldn't date me, wouldn't have anything to do with me?

177 One can employ the reasoning the left employs against “deepfake” video to editorial cartoons: a cartoon could show a public official suborning graft while pretending otherwise. And the cartoon image looks just like the real politician. Someone might confuse the cartoon and reality (or worse, the cartoon may be showing reality). This cannot stand! It must be banned!

Trump already has that covered. He ended the "war" when the negotiations with Iran started. If he attacks again, the clock resets to another N months or whatever.

I suspect the causes for delay are military, waiting for some thing to get ready...and not letting Iran know just when it kicks off for the shock value.

Cavernous Nostril Now Glazes The Man She Used to Accuse of Having Sexually Molested Her Underaged Niece, Back When That Was Her Grift

But her new grift is antisemitism and cultivating a Nazi-curious Horseshoe Fusion political movement.

I'm so annoyed I'll even link a Jake Tapper post (just for the clip he's embedded).

It's almost as if Cavernous Nostrils is a sociopath who will say literally anything to manipulate people and extract money from them.


Oh and this grifter wants in now, too!

Because Hunter Biden now appeared on one of the fake right podcasts, he will now appear on all of them, rapid fire. That's how this Human Centipede works, most people have turned their backs on them so they have no one to interview except each other and Glenn Greenwald, Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian and now Hunter Biden.

Thomas Massie will soon be a frequent flier on the Human Centipede Podcast Interview Circuit.

BTW, I have a feeling that Tuq'r asked Cavernous Nostrils to go first. Tuq'r has frequently talked about how he was good friends with Hunter Biden, and probably really wants to have him on to trash Trump and praise Joe Biden, but is too cowardly to be the first of the Fake Right Podcasters to do it.

So he had Cavernous Nostrils host Hunter Biden's Fake Right Cotillion.

I remember one where the girl is crying while he is videotaping and he keeps demanding she say he didn't hurt her.

It is like removing the 17th Amendment on voting for senators, it requires a constitutional amendment that is simply not going to happen.

I have always felt the easiest way to promote more competition for seats is to require television and radio to set aside airspace under public interest so that candidates without a lot of money but good ideas could get heard. Still valid even in the internet era.

A simple way is for 27 more states to ratify the Congressional Apportionment Amendment of 1789, which has no deadline, so that can still be done. At one point the current 11 was within one state of ratification, but with more states being added to the Union, it is no longer close.

The formula in the text is complicated, but effectively, it would increase the size of the House to at least one Representative per 50,000 Americans. So, now there would be 6,629 Reps.

118 Tuq'r and Owens have now occupied the L3 Lagrange Point on the political spectrum -- directly at the exact opposite point from "normal," "average," "sane" and "logical."

If there was an anti-earth orbiting the sun that was always precisely at the far pint from real Earth, such that we could never seen it because it was always behind the sun ,it would be at the L3 Lagrange Point.

And there was a political ideology directly opposed to what every Normal American thinks and wants, it would be at the L3 Carlson-Owens point.

When we were flying back from Newark a couple of weeks ago.

What the black block of wood thing? And what's its story?

WATCH: Vance says Hunter Biden, Tina Peters could be eligible for 'Anti-Weaponization Fund'
Fundraiser

PBS NewsHour, May 19, 2026

Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday at a White House press briefing that anyone — Republican or Democrat — is welcome to apply for President Donald Trump's newly announced “Anti-Weaponization Fund," intended to compensate Americans who feel they have been unlawfully targeted by the Department of Justice for political, personal or ideological reasons.

Vance suggested that could include Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden who pleaded guilty to tax offenses and was convicted on felony drug charges before receiving a full pardon from his father before he left the White House.

Vance said Trump has pardoned a number of Democrats. He added that each person who files a claim would go through a vetting process and would be considered on a case-by-case basis. He didn't rule out the possibility of Jan. 6 rioters receiving compensation through this fund. (More)

196 Cornyn, living in Texas, had direct motive to get SAVE passed. But it didn't pass.
SAVE's failure rests on the head of Thune. Trump isn't rugpulling Cornyn because of SAVE, but because he wants another vote against Thune in the Senate.
It's just business.

The ten year persecution to remove him from office for all the BS Rove's Runts have thrown at him are just stinking losers. All the Houston lawyers that screwed Collin County (his base) out of tens of thousands of $ are in the mix, Johnny Sullivan the leader of the US Southern District of Texas courts that jailed the two border patrol agents for returning fire at a smuggler was in it.

Disgraceful RINO Grifter Tom Massie is Now Sending Out Texts Claiming Trump Endorsed Him Rather Than His Opponent

Fuck this guy in the pinecone.

Sociopaths love lying to people. Duping people makes them feel powerful and intelligent and masterful.

When actually they're just degenerates who do not possess the simple but powerful moral inhibition against lying that normal people do.

Because normal people have trouble lying, they have difficulty detecting truly brazen lies by psychopaths completely unbothered by lying. Normal people who are bothered personally by lying cannot even imagine just lying about big things that can be easily checked, so brazen sociopaths can pass lies by them sometimes.

"No one would be so brazen," they think, wrongly.

And then Candace Owens dupes millions of normal but bored and dimbulb Millennial housewives who think she must be telling the truth because, well, no one would be so brazen!

Candace Owens makes her rent money based on this exploit. Most normal people think that someone will, if they're lying, avert their eyes and cough and show other signs of internal stress, so they think that they can detect most lies.

Well, they can detect most liars because most liars are normal people who do experience internal stress when they're lying.

Then there are the psychopaths like Candace Owens and Tom "Pinecone" Massie, who do not stammer and blink when they lie, but grin ear-to-ear because they love lying. Normal people do not detect these lies because, well, what kind of maniac would become almost sexually excited by lying?

They think it's their superpower.

And it is, in a way. It's a gift of Satan.

Duper's Delight:

"Duper's delight" (sometimes informally called a duper's grin) is a psychological phenomenon where a person smiles or smirks because they feel a thrill or satisfaction from successfully deceiving, manipulating, or getting away with lying to someone.

Psychologists identify it through the following key characteristics:

Microexpression: It often appears as a fleeting, involuntary microexpression (like a smirk or a raised corner of the mouth) that breaks through an otherwise serious or sad facial expression.

Contradictory Emotion: It can happen when a person is recounting a tragic or negative event but unconsciously flashes a grin because they are focused on the "success" of their lie.

Underlying Psychology: Coined by behavioral scientist Dr. Paul Ekman, the emotional boost is linked to a sense of power, arrogance, or the adrenaline rush of pulling the wool over someone's eyes.

Psychopaths experience and even more powerful thrill from duping their "inferiors" -- "inferiors" whose internal morality prevents them from being good liars and who therefore have trouble spotting the lies of the truly conscienceless.

53 There is exactly zero difference between a sociopath and a psychopath. Hollywood has sold everyone on the idea that psychopaths are murderous, but in fact, most are law-abiding citizens. They have no conscience. Literally, their brains are hardwired to have no remorse. This tends to lead them to have no empathy, either, and to misinterpret their own emotions, or to have fewer of them than normal.

My son sits very high on the standard psychopathy diagnostic chart. We had no leverage on him with shame, because he has no shame about anything. Every interaction is purely transactional. Makes for a lot of damned work raising a kid like that.

A lot of very successful people are high on the psychopathy chart. If they have drive and energy, they can do very well in business and politics. I suspect that is why we see so many of them in Washington.

IMHO, Sociopaths are more of a flat affect. They don't care emotionally whether you believe them or not as long as the lie works. To them, other people are just things to be manipulated for gain.

Psychopaths enjoy doing what we used to call evil or wicked so they enjoy lying to your face and getting away with it. Same with killing, etc.

97 I think people look at a psychopath and think they are immoral. This isn't necessarily true. My son knows Catholic morality, he goes to Confession for his failures, he certainly knows wrong from right.

At the same time, he lies constantly, he has a super-inflated sense of himself despite his constant failures, and he takes clear advantage of any situation that he can, regardless of the damage to others around himself.

He is also quite capable of kindness, he loves animals and treats them with respect, he is a hard worker, and he is raising his infant son with great care and dedication.

And yes, his lack of conscience is disturbing to most folks, and he is judged on that constantly. But it isn't something anyone can fix.

Doctors, policemen, and to an extent lawyers benefit from trained "situational psychopathy," where they can do some fucked-up shit that is actually for the best within a larger moral framework. For example, open-heart surgery is objectively similar to serial killer behavior: drugging a stranger so he can't resist, then vivisecting him. So, he has to turn off his normal feelings at work, then turn them back on for his wife and kids.

Media is full of fake reports and they are as sociopathic liars as a lot of politicians are. Probably more likely to be even as we have seen recently.

The truth is Massie has little to no national support when considering how vast the US population is but it seems concentrated when you look online to that fake and gay world. In reality, I don't think it matters much as that sort will simply float to the next crap politician. Like leftists, it is the system that these numb nuts want to end by any means possible and it is clear by their posts online that they are not interested in any actual policy debates--only slanders, lies, and lame ass gay anti Semitic memes.

Which couldn't be farther from the truth but it's obvious this scumbag and his donors / support team are fine flooding the zone with lies to get elected. Anyway, that's clearly the play all uniparty candidates are adopting in these primaries: align with Trump to the utmost and scream that your opponent is "anti-MAGA". Not surprised to see this from Massie...

Scorecards are idiotic as they are always cherrypicked votes. If you must use something, use Nominate scores (Poole and Rosenthal) which uses ALL votes and segregates these by Congress.

And it matters on crucial votes the most where the leadership bill may not pass. The only reason that Massie could persist in his behavior was Johnson's razor thin majority did not permit him to punish a defector or even remove them from the caucus. If Johnson's cushion was 10-20 members, Massie would have been toast a long time ago for what he did.

Yes, constitutional history of why certain provisions are there is woefully taught. I taught the Articles among other constitutional matters and for a long time, appeared at teacher's conferences to give talks about different constitutional issues.

A lot of our current Constitutional provisions come about due to a) defects in the Articles that about led to dissolution of the United States, b) defects that we perceived when being run by Great Britain under its constitution, and c) defects that popped up in state constitutions from independence to the Framing of the Constitution.

We tried to copy the good stuff and fix the bad stuff. Then the Antifederalist argued that they forgot a bill of rights, so that got added immediately after the Constitution went into effect.

The Houthis are reportedly operating out of "sheer fear" of @realDonaldTrump and American strikes, leading them to stick to a reported agreement with Trump to secure vital "breathing room."

Beyond the American threat, the group is also deeply afraid of a potential Saudi military intervention within Yemeni territory."

But the texts coming out today are all coming from Gallrein warning about texts from Massie claiming endorsement from Trump. Problem is, there is no such text message from Massie's campaign. Its another Gallrein campaign op.

And the biggest irony? You posted a Freedom score about 2 'F' ranked senators that you wanted to see primaried. So, I looked up Massie's score. Guess what? A. He is ranked #10 most conservative voting congressman.

the attempt to primary Massie is a purity test. He isn't voting the way Trump wants him to, so we have are supposed to chuck out one of the most bedrock, principled conservatives in Congress to replace him iwth a RINO.

In his case malignant narcissist is shorthand. I would normally say psychopath but the dude defied category. Charming yet very few seemed to like him. He creeped a lot of people out.

The thing about a psychopath is often you will find people saying "there's something about him/her I can't put my finger on".

235 Character isn’t really the issue. Tangentially maybe.

They have constituents, but the people, voters, are not their constituents any longer. The feedback mechanism between the citizenry and politicians is largely broken, and all the political switches and dials and levers aren’t connected to anything.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump is privately pressuring Leader John Thune to FIRE the liberal Senate Parliamentarian — who is unilaterally BLOCKING CBP and ICE funding in the reconciliation bill, per NOTUS

FIRE HER NOW!

She also blocked some of the Big Beautiful Bill AND ballroom security funding

Thune can also just IGNORE her — but apparently, he’s not interested in doing any of this.

We are TIRED of Senate “procedure” constantly overruling the mandate! 🇺🇸

Republicans can still go back and revise the wording to get the new provisions included, but it’s STILL up to the parliamentarian to decide if it follows the “rules.”

Problem is, the neighbor isn't in most of the time, so they try to drop off his packages and have me sign for them. I have no problem doing that when the drivers speak English, but when they start typing the address into Google Translate and expect me to read it off their phone... Fuck you.

The forgetting/erasing is easy to do post 1800's cholera. I apparently literally s**t my brains out last week. The last virus I had was 1976 for the Bicentennial. Therefore another patriotic virus for our 250th.

I see it is the 19th of May from my trusty laptop. Know the year and where I am and my name. Pretty sure it is Tuesday, but I could be wrong.

So far the details happening to prevent getting my entire family to visit my 95yr old mother this weekend are continuing non-stop and daily. Y'all would not believe them if I listed so I won't.

If you think of "what's next" then don't bother as it's probably happened short of Biden visiting with Hillary in a muumuu disguised as Jehovah Witnesses to discuss the Rapture.

315 Exit poll showed 18-55 year olds votes heavily for Massie 26-35 was Massive +56, 36-45
Massie +38.

But 55+ was very anti-Massie. About +30 for Gallrein, with 65-75 at +35.

An epic battle of generations. And older people vote at higher rates. So even though younger voters skewed much more heavily Massie there weren’t as many of them as older voters.

But 10 years from now, this same race is won by Massie easily as the biggest group of support for Massie will be much smaller

The GOP will be a much different party in the not too distant future if these trends continue.

Katy Tur: When Speaker Mike Johnson Said That God Imbues People With Inalienable Rights, Was He Attempting to "Put God Over the Declaration of Independence"?

Katy Tur is a moderately pretty girl with a nice rack.

That is the only reason she is on TV "news."

Keith Olbermann used to sleep with her and claimed that she was so stupid that he had to rewrite all of "her" news articles for her, because they were poorly written and pointless. Typical case of an old bent gangly dweeb having to do the hot girl's homework for her.

But I do imagine that he's telling the truth about this one thing.

Katy Tur heard Speaker Johnson refer to the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence -- the lines that say that men are imbued with inalienable rights by their "Creator," rights which cannot be set aside by the government because they do not originate with the government, but with God himself -- and is so uneducated and so stupid that she thought Johnson was inserting that language into the Declaration of Independence himself, and thereby attempting to inject This God Person into the atheistic document.

Unbelievable. Except it is believable.

John Sexton:

I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise given that this was broadcast on MSNOW, but somehow it still surprises me. Katy Tur was asking her panel of guests about something that Speaker Mike Johnson had said Sunday at the "Rededicate 250" rally on the mall in Washington, DC.

I watched Mike Johnson's prayer in front of the crowd and this is the line that Tur is reacting to:

Those voices have seeked to distort the self-evident truth that we know so well, that our founders boldly proclaimed in the Declaration: That our rights do not derive from the government. They come from you, our creator and heavenly father.

Here's Tur's reaction when bringing it up on MSNOW to her panel of guests.

What about this passage from Mike Johnson declaring that our rights do not derive from government? They come from you, our creator and heavenly father. Is this him putting God over the Declaration of Independence?

This is not some arcane political trivia, obviously. These are among the most-quoted lines in human political history. "When in the course of human events..." is routinely quoted by sixth graders.

Katie Tur is entirely unqualified for this job or any other job that isn't centered on an OnlyFans account. She got the gig by fucking Keith Olbermann, and only kept it because 10% of MSNOW's audience consists of angry lesbians and even a smattering of effeminate yet straight men who wonder what she looks like naked.

111 I guess I can understand why she thinks she's entitled to a lifetime sinecure for spreading for Keith Olbermann.

Someone who got a job by giving Jerry Nadler a rim job probably would want that job to last a while, as well.

117 If the American Declaration of Independence says that all people are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights, doesn't this mean that citizens' rights come from God and not from people?

the Declaration of Independence is not a legal document. The US constitution very specifically established a secular republic under Enlightenment values, regardless of any kind of language in the Declaration of Independence.

and the 1st amendment guarantees "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." So we are a bonafide secular nation where the legal authority of government is derived from the people and not from any religion or God(s).

Also "their creator" is open to interpretation. My creator was my parents for example.

America's obsession with what the founding fathers thought baffles me. I have no idea what the 6th century Germanic tribe that founded England based their authority on, nor do I see why I should care. It has been 600 years. We can kind of assume that whatever the founding fathers thought, it's not massively relevant to anything happening today.

I disagree with that. Neither technology nor morality is permanent, it ebbs and flows. It can be extinguished. It can be forgotten, lost, or misplaced.

By 1944 they were fire-bombing Dresden, Hamburg, Tokyo, etc, among other things. To suggest morality has advanced along with technology doesn’t standup.

In fact the usual criticism - certainly this was observed with the atomic bomb development - human morality has most definitely not kept pace with technology. This is the problem

Don’t you believe them. Technology changes, that part is true. The crux of the matter - Human nature hasn’t changed in 5000 years. The exact same issues the founders addressed 250 years ago are exactly the same today, as they were hundreds or thousands of years ago.

I prefer using propane tanks in a dual fuel generator, you get a bit less power but you don't have the issues with gas. If you do only have gas or put gas in a dual fuel generator, run it until the engine stops from being out of gas and clear the fuel lines.

FWIW, it is wise, every now and again, if you do have a dual or triple fueled generator to run a bit of gas through them until the tank is empty. Keeps the seals from leaking.

316 Kind of. Carl Benjamin had an interesting analysis (from someone else) that culture and morality change and advance as much as technology. Advanced nations don't wholesale slaughter defeated enemy armies like in the bronze ages, or enslave them like the Roman's. Laws evolve from "might makes right" to equal protection regardless of status.

It was an interesting point.
Posted by: Moron Analyst


Its not 'advancement' as much as a cyclical process. The Wars of Religion and the 30 Years War were nasty enough that parts of Germany reverted to cannibalism by reports.

Therefore for a while nations decided to play nicer, and have agreed rules on taking forts and citadels with minimal casualties, letting garrisons march out if they surrendered when certain conditions were met. On the other hand if the garrison forced the besiegers to storm the citadel their lives were forfeit.

Similarly the Napoleonic Wars led to a generation or so of limited wars, which led to the total wars of WWI and WWII.

This is where AI Overview is smarter than Nice Rack:
By using this language, the speaker is aligning their rhetoric with Natural Law theory—the philosophical belief that fundamental human rights are inherent and come from a higher power, rather than being gifts, privileges, or concessions granted by a government. Historically, citing this specific text has been a common way for political figures to argue that basic civil and human rights are universal, permanent, and fundamentally unchangeable. This concept is famously preserved at the National Archives Museum in Washington, D.C.

Trump Endorses Ken Paxton for Senate

It's a bit late but hopefully it will swing enough votes to put another RINO out on the street outside of MSNOW begging to go on camera for five minutes to pitch his podcast.

Correction: The runoff is next Tuesday, not today as I originally claimed. (I saw a stupid media article saying the runoff was "this week," yesterday.)

Thanks to hobbitpoly.

Nick Sortor
@nicksortor

🚨 BREAKING -- IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump has endorsed KEN PAXTON in the Republican primary for US Senate in Texas

John Cornyn is DOOMED.

"I know Ken well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a WINNER! Ken is a Strong Supporter of TERMINATING THE FILIBUSTER and, very importantly, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT"

More:

The Highly Respected Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, an America First Patriot, and someone who has always been extremely loyal to me and our AMAZING MAGA MOVEMENT, is running for the United States Senate, to represent a place I love and WON, BIG, three times, with 6.4 Million Votes in 2024 (The Most Votes in the History of the State, BY FAR)!

I know Ken well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a WINNER! Ken is a Strong Supporter of TERMINATING THE FILIBUSTER and, very importantly, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, something which polls at 87%, including Dumocrats, and yet can't seem to get approved. Perhaps Ken can help move these important elements of Government forward because with the Filibuster, as an example, the Democrats will terminate it on their First Day in Office, giving us two extra States, D.C. and Puerto Rico, and a greatly enlarged Supreme Court of the United States, probably going with their Dream Number of 21 Justices from the 9 that we currently have -- And these new Justices will be Radical Left Lunatics! Two years ago, our Country was DEAD -- Now we have the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World -- And I want to keep it that way. Ken Paxton will help me do that, MAKING AMERICA BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!

Ken is a true MAGA Warrior who has ALWAYS delivered for Texas, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate. He will tirelessly fight to continue the Great Growth of our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations (I just delivered the Largest Tax and Regulation Cuts in American History!), and Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Champion Texas Oil & Gas, Advocate for our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Promote School Choice, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our Incredible Military/Veterans, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.

John Cornyn is a good man, and I worked well with him, but he was not supportive of me when times were tough and, despite having the Most Successful Economy in the History of our Country during my First Term and, with all of the many other things that I accomplished (Secure Border, Military Dominance, Space Force, All Time High Stock Markets and 401(k)s, Record Job and Economic Growth, and so many other things that would be impossible to readily list!), which are considered by many to be legendary, John was very late in backing me in what turned out to be a Historic Run for the Republican Nomination, and then, the Presidency, itself, both of which were Landslide Victories and, more importantly, gave us the Country that we have today -- THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA (and when we finish up with Iran, which will not be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon, you will see numbers that have never been generated by our Country before!), as opposed to the DISASTER of the previous Administration.

Ken Paxton has gone through a lot, in many cases, very unfairly, but he is a Fighter, and knows how to WIN. Our Country needs Fighters, and also Loyalty to the Cause of Greatness. We can never allow what happened to the United States of America during the Corrupt Biden Administration, to happen again. In Texas alone, just look at the Border, with the Highest Level Criminals allowed to run through your State, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Border Policy that was a Laughingstock all over the World. I came in, and fixed it, IMMEDIATELY. I will not permit those dark and dangerous days to come back! WE HAVE ALREADY MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, BUT NOW, WE WANT TO MAKE OUR NATION BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE. Therefore, Ken Paxton has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next United States Senator from the Great State of Texas -- KEN PAXTON WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!

Should have passed the SAVE Act, Thune.

I cannot overstate how important and salutary it is to establish that the voters will discipline and eject nonperforming office-holders who do not vote the way the voters want them to. If this becomes a permanent trend, it will be one of the most important accomplishments of the Trump years.

Let's take out Thune, next.

18 It would not surprise me if Paxton was offered the endorsement previously, but wanted to drop it late in the campaign in the event that momentum wasn't forming naturally. Paxton doesn't appear so, but he is one of the most strategic and crafty politicians out there. He, ultimately, overcame an entrenched dynasty down in Texas and came out smelling like roses. You don't succeed like that unless you have a couple brain cells working in tandem.

3) Trump's negotiations with the GOPe class broke down and he gave them an ultimatum which they turned down

The problem is when the voters stupidly eject a faux-conservative, and in his place bring in a...liberal who lies.

That's what happened in the UK. The lame=ass Tories acted like RINOs for years, and the public wanted mass deportation of illegals, which the Tories wouldn't do, so in response, the public kicked out the Tories and...elected Labour. Who made things 10,000x worse.

65 Trump knows how to make a difference, if one can.

Once Trump announces anything, the opposition goes into overdrive playing every card they have. I don't mean the opposing candidate. So a Trump endorsement can then lose total luster.

This "day-of" gave the opposition no time to mount anything. The news cycle is 45 minutes to an hour these days anyway. So it's the equivalent of what used to be an October Surprise. Trump gets the biggest and last word, people go out and vote, and that's the end of that.

67 No longer a Texas resident, but during my 24 years there I learned how frustratingly ball-less Cornyn is, and how representative that wimpy RINO is of the Texas GOP: a fun little club of mutual back-slappers, instead of a party who might actually help the Texas voters. Good riddance if Texas can get Cornyn out of there.

That said, I am old enough to remember when there was great anger among voters when national groups - including the President - would stick their noses into the primaries. Help during the general election was welcome, but dammit let the locals decide who the candidate should be.

That's what happened in the UK. The lame=ass Tories acted like RINOs for years, and the public wanted mass deportation of illegals, which the Tories wouldn't do, so in response, the public kicked out the Tories and...elected Labour. Who made things 10,000x worse.

No system is perfect but you are looking at two different issues. The tories were voted in to stop immigration and they didn't. So they were voted out to make it clear to them that their voters were serious -- if they would not vote against open borders, then what good are they?

Would it have been a better option to keep them in power in spite of their intransigence? Handing power to Labor was not ideal, but it was the only way to push change. There are reasons for this I wont go into here.

No system is perfect but you are looking at two different issues. The tories were voted in to stop immigration and they didn't. So they were voted out to make it clear to them that their voters were serious -- if they would not vote against open borders, then what good are they?

Posted by: bob - moron inbobnitus at May 19, 2026 01:41 PM (NmBEt)

The Brexit voters in the UK knew what they were doing by punishing the Tories for that betrayal. They needed time for Reform to grow into a complete national contender so they abandoned the Tories who were crushed. Many of the Tories have now joined Reform, and may be getting squishy so Restore is growing to be a right side contender. The huge win for Labor was an illusion since all the parties colluded to give them seats - their actual vote totals remained static. Now the work for any elections now is to crush Labor.

He didn't condemn the attack. He was offended Trump called us Christian and called Trump out for it.

*********************************

The Labour Party only won one-third of the vote in Britain's 2024 election, but this translated into almost two-thirds of the seats due to the rest of the vote being so deeply split between the other parties. In particular, the Reform Party won 14% of the vote but only 4 seats, with its votes being spread diffusely, while the Conservative Party had large declines in its share of both votes and seats.

After you finish voting you press a button on the computer to print out your vote. Next you walk your printout paper to another person that has you feed it into a second machine that "reads" the vote.

Ken Paxton is wildly unpopular. This is good news

1) love to see it because another "moderate" GOP enabler eats shit publicly.

2) because Talarico's chances should be better against Paxton and this sews that up as the general election matchup.

Trump is going to spend the rest of his life clearing out the old guard from the GOP, and EVERY one of them will think they won't be next until it happens. It's incredible.

Does any state have it worse than here? Can anyone else beat Ted Cruz and Ken Paxton as your two senators?

203 Abbott did not make any Senate endorsement. Although he’s mostly conservative, he’s pretty wily about always staying very friendly with both sides of the Texas Republicans - the MAGA conservatives led by Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton, and the Texas House C of C republicans backed by the Bush family and their allies.

This makes the Texas AG hard to choose - both Roy and Middleton are C of C republicans; Roy talks a bigger game and makes more of a show of being “conservative” but this kinda makes me trust him less.

I show my ID. I get the ballot for my district printed out (or primary D or R depending). I grab a pen. I fill in the box next to the candidate.

I finish and put the paper in the scanner and it reads the ballot and tells me whether it's good or if there's an issue.

Pence-type Christians somehow missed those parts of the Bible like I Samuel 15 where Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord…. After Saul disobeyed the Lord by not entirely wiping out Amalek and as a result lost his kingship. Yeah, God is not all warm and cuddly folks. He’s loving yes but he’s also holy and perfectly just which should be terrifying to us humans…

I rather doubt that about Texas. Early voting is in-person and you have to show ID just like on election day. Mail-in voting is available for a restricted group (elderly, disabled).

One of the reasons I vote early is that I AM eligible for mail-in voting and I vote early and in person so that if a someone submits a mail-in in my name, it will get flagged as fraudulent.

Paxton endorsed Middleton. Roy has crossed Paxton some. Yeah, I just don't know what to make of it. But the "MAGA Middleton" marketing, without Trump's endorsement, rings as fake to me as all the BS Cornyn ads about how much of a Trump supporter he is and how everyone should clutch their pearls about Paxton... Seems like this is one-half-dozen-the-other and I'm feeling like it's easier to get a buffoon incumbent (Roy?) out than an embedded uniparty one (Middleton?)... Or at least it's safer to be stuck with the buffoon instead of the uniparty. I'm not getting 'uniparty threat' from Roy, at least...

I live nearish to that fire, within a mile of the 'prepare to evacuate' line in the westerly direction. It is up to 1400 acres burned but it moved south away from the houses up into the open spaces and ridges. By night the wind dropped and advances of the fires slowed. The reservoirs in Ventura County are full, those in LA County are empty. But they have had time to work on blocking the fire path towards LA County overnight and a lot of fuel has already burned. The prepare to evacuate order was lifted about 10 last night for my area, switched to areas east and south of the current fire.

The maximum life of a parliament is five years, so Labour can only hang on to power until July 2029. However, there are no scheduled general elections (until one is announced, not too far in advance of it being held), and the Labour Party can call an earlier general election if polling were to become advantageous (or less disadvantageous).

Starmer is basically insane, I'd prefer that Labor ditch him for another drone, who will be tied to the same sinking ship. But their contender has to win an election to get into parliament to do so in their plan, and both Reform and Restore are moving to block that just for the LOLs.

Roy did not vote to impeach Trump! That's the op! He said Trump engaged in "impeachable conduct" but did not vote 'for' on any of the impeachments. He has crossed Trump some, but Trump spoke nicely of him as recently as February.

Trump has also said nice things about Roy. Including that he's done a good job at times or words to that effect in February this year. He's not in love with him, but he hasn't endorsed Middleton either... Roy also voted for the SAVE Act. I realize that Middleton has some real conservative support, but with all the uniparty support he's got... And Trump not otherwise knives out for Roy... Roy feels like a safer bet. High risk of a buffoon, low risk of a schemer. Middleton seems riskier as a schemer...

297 Nothing to vote for in Pennsylvania?

Nuts started a write-in campaign for Doug Mastriano - for Governor - again - trying to stop Republican Stacy Garrity, businesswoman, and former Army officer who has served as the 79th Treasurer of Pennsylvania since 2021, and has done an outstanding job doing so.

BTW, President Donald Trump nominated Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia.

Nevertheless, BS in Pennsylvania time and time again:
Doug Mastriano had not a prayer in hell before to become Governor, and absolutely none now.

It has often been said his R nomination was orchestrated by the Dems and Shapiro, for Shapiro.

And the second issue is who is running for Lt. Governor on the R side. Jason Richey and John Ventre are competing Republicans.

Ventre, among other things, is a prolific author of fiction books that concern UFO sightings, and he says creativity is needed to make state government efficient. Richey is backed this year by the state Republican Party for lieutenant governor. (90.5 WESA has much more info. on both.)

303 From the Daily Mail, breaking news. Another reason for Thune to go:

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has come out against the 'anti-weaponization' settlement approved by the Justice Department. Under the deal, Trump dropped his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for the creation of a fund channeling taxpayer money to victims of 'lawfare,' including January 6 rioters.

'Yeah, not a big fan. I'm not sure exactly how they intend to use it. But my understanding is that was just announced,' Thune told reporters. 'But yeah, I don't see a purpose for it.'

The $1.776 billion fund will have the power to issue formal apologies and monetary relief owed to claimants. While Trump is barred from directly receiving payments from the fund, entities associated with him are not explicitly prohibited from filing additional ones.

Of course he got polling saying Paxton would win. Trump picks winners above principal. Unless principal is *extreme* for Trump (and if it were extreme with Cornyn, which it shoulda been, he woulda endorsed Paxton earlier).

But that doesn't mean this still isn't a good thing. Trump went to war with Massie, MTG, Cassidy... He should've with Cornyn but him playing it how he did is fine too. Maybe he was wondering how many more legit skeletons are in Paxton's closet...

"Teen Takeovers" Are Now Common in Blue Cities; Media Begins Pushing Idea That Violent Teen Orcs Don't Need Jail Time, Just "Youth Centers" They Can Fight In and Destroy Instead of Chipotles

Blue cities have allowed rowdy, often violent "teens" to take over the streets and private citizens' businesses for more than a year.

The "teens" are often "mostly peaceful."

Blue cities do not arrest them or prosecute them because they've decided that minorities, especially "teen" minorities, are generally immune to the law.

And how's that going?

A gang of violent juveniles has been captured on video involved in a wild all-out brawl in a Washington, DC, Chipotle outlet Saturday night with chairs alternatively being thrown and used as weapons as the wild melee unfolded.

In the background shrieks can be heard from those forced to watch the delinquent fisticuffs on display.

A spokesperson with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has since said they are aware of this incident and are investigating, ABC 7News reports.

Ken Ledet, who lives in the Navy Yard, told 7News he has seen chaotic scenes like this in recent months.

"It's not shocking anymore, since this has become routine on Saturdays and Friday nights, but it's disappointing to know this is still happening," Ledet told the outlet.

This is feral:

Below, videos of the violent "teen takeovers" that Democrat politicians and Soros prosecutors have indulged and conspired to make the New Normal:


The media knows what we need to do: More Midnight Basketball, more taxpayer spending on Youth Centers so that the Mostly Peaceful Teens can riot in government-supervised settings.

We used to have Youth Centers for violent young orcs. They were called juvenile detention centers.

Jeanine Pirro, who is An Racist, disagrees. This racist thinks that criminals should be prosecuted and punished for their crimes, thus serving as a deterrent for the other potential criminals.

She also thinks the negligent and possibly criminal parents who breed these feral Democrats should be prosecuted as well. I don't know if that's legal, but I like that idea better than Taxpayer Funded Youth Centers and Government Designated Riot Zones.

Jhonf Fonseca
@Jhonffonseca

21h


IT'S OFFICIAL AND WITHOUT MERCY! U.S. Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro declares total war against parents who let their delinquent kids loose to destroy Washington D.C.

"I'm not one for subtleties! The people of DC are already fed up with this scourge."

"I'm coming for you... and for your parents!"

"From now on, Mom and Dad, YOU'RE GOING TO FOOT THE BILL!"

"If you let your kid run loose committing crimes, we'll prosecute you as a direct accomplice."

No excuses allowed: "I didn't know...", "It's hard to control him...", "I was on my phone...".

STRICT LIABILITY!

If your teenager breaks curfew, skips school, uses drugs or alcohol, ignores court orders, or commits offenses like the attack at Chipotle, the law comes crashing down on you too!

Clear message to parents of delinquent kids: it's no longer just "a youth problem." The problem is the parents who raise them like wild animals and let them loose to destroy the city.

Family impunity is over!

Oh I see, she means that if your kid is a "teen takeover" criminal, she'll start enforcing truancy/child neglect laws against you. I guess.

Happy Massie Firing Day!

"Oh, we can't let the children suffer from the poor choices of adults!!!"

So we have to give welfare to irresponsible people who are birthing these feral youth.

NO. We need more children wondering where their next meal is coming from. We need more children growing up uncomfortable so that when they grow up, they never want to live in that environment again.

Instead, the biggest dream in the ghetto is to birth a number of children and get your dream ticket to do nothing but sit on welfare.

Enough. We need tough love and these people DO need to suffer, for their own good.

59 Every convenience store located next to a teen center or community pool in the inner city has been dealing with these feral yoots for years.

As soon as the teen center or community pool closes, a horde of unsupervised yoots descends on the store like locusts, grabbing whatever they want off the shelves and hopping into the night.

The idea that the teen center is the solution is absurd and intentionally obtuse. In fact, they often have the exact opposite effect. They are the nexus of this sort of bad behavior.

Although, I think this is different where you have enforceable laws involving the parent's actions involving the kids, not the kid's crimes after the fact. I guess that's the way to do it. The blue states will fight it though.

77 Darion Carter, another young adult who testified, spoke about the resources removed from his community. “Our boxing program was removed; our recreational program was removed. We lost our programs," Carter said. "We don’t have a basketball team anymore. We never had a football team. We were trying to get one, then KIPP came in and took it away from us."

You see this across the country in nearly every inner city. Programs get defunded so kids don’t have any healthy outlets. Consequently, they end up wandering outside of their neighborhoods in search of something to do then everyone loses their minds when the “undesirables” show up.

The privatization of schools is a larger issue than many realize—charter schools don’t tend to offer the same extra curricular options that public schools do.

And the money spent on those programs gets put into police budgets, thereby enabling the state to lock up kids for crimes related to “we’re fucking bored”.

The obvious problem is indeed the problem. I sincerely hope that the "throw them in jail" crowd learns that the solution to "crime" is community investment.

They do this intentionally in the hood. There are like five uniforms they'll all wear. When the cops get called over a yoot wearing a dark hoodie in the area of X, everybody matches the description and the yoot gets away. When the cops actually try to stop and interview a few of the yoots, the community organizers scream racism.

119 I think it was the Dallas Morning News that went a whole article on the revival of a dying mall.
How shoppers and stores have returned and all that.

Barely mentioned was that it was due to a policy of no one under 18 unless accompanied by an adult.

And not mentioned at all was even a hint at the skin color of those previously unaccompanied youths.

Lots of stories in the Houston area of the formerly high-dollar Galleria shopping district not being safe after dark.
I'm sure you're at a loss as to why ....

136 Restorative Justice, Innovating Justice Org (and others)

(Google or whatever Restorative Justice in the USA)

In part, Restorative justice in the U.S. shifts the focus of the justice system from traditional punishment to repairing the harm caused by crime. By bringing together victims, offenders, and community members in facilitated dialogues, it emphasizes accountability, healing, and reintegration rather than just incarceration.
Core Principles: Instead of asking "What law was broken and how should the offender be punished?, "restorative justice asks: Who was harmed? What are their needs?Whose obligation is it to meet those needs? It relies on five key elements of accountability: acknowledging responsibility, understanding the impact on others, expressing remorse, actively repairing the harm, and committing to not re-offending.

Began for youth, has moved to include adult offenders and victim support.

Huge in some states - such as Pennsylvania - and some cities - such as Philly - and in the collar counties.

"Studies indicate" Restorative Justice Programs reduce recidivism rates by an estimated 10% to 25% compared to traditional punitive methods. 😒

Not to mention, Planned Parenthood, et. al. having abortion clinics readily available. Liberal white women always cite the unfairness to women of color when arguing for Planned Parenthood. If only they used it, but no, it's the liberal white women who help them ply their trade.

I actually don't think it's as much that they have kids because they get paid for it. I think it's more that if they have kids, they will get paid, so what's the risk? They also want to have babies because they have little else in their lives. My theories. YMMV.

And, IIRC, they produce spores when they die to create more greenskins (yes that's the term of art). And more of an orgy of violence they go out in the more spores.

The fantasy ones aren't fungus though they are just some other sentient mammalian (?) race.

Before the "urban renewal/gentrification" in the area the last 20 years it was nothing but shady nightclubs and literally The Projects. Sad to see it's falling backwards.

There's a local who's maintained a website chronicling the changes over the years, but stopped in 2022. It was fascinating to go through when I worked there. That Chipotle opened in 2018, after I left.

There is an interesting subset of this with sex crimes.

Like all other violent crime it is a tiny fraction of the population but they will keep doing it regularly when they are not in prison.

Now feminists will tell you "all men" are rapists. But if you put the 1% of men that are away rape will almost disappear. And here's where it gets interesting - if you suggest life imprisonment for any actual average rapist feminists will call you rayciss...but that or 3 strikes or any variant on long prison terms for real sex crimes would end the problem and feminists are not interested in solving the problem...

Let's not kid ourselves, though. If criminal behavior is associated strongly enough with an identifiable group, e.g. blacks, people start to just assume they're all or mostly criminal. Those who say otherwise are lying. It has a foundation in fact, but obviously is unfair to those who aren't criminals.

281 The controversial legal case, where parents were held accountable for the child's act of manslaughter

The groundbreaking legal case where parents were held criminally accountable for their child's actions is the conviction of James and Jennifer Crumbley. In 2024, a Michigan jury found them guilty of involuntary manslaughter for the 2021 mass shooting committed by their 15-year-old son at Oxford High School, marking the first time parents were held criminally responsible for a child's mass school shooting

Then they turned around and used him to attack all their "enemies", break all the rules, and generally be an insulting degrading POS, defiling the country and office. Any objection to said attacks was proof racism was not only alive, it was worse than ever.

That purposeful procession was many people's first exposure to what the Left is and how it works. Before that they were just idiots in pink blocking soldiers or "arresting" Dick Cheney.

Say what?

This has been going on since the mid-2010s, at least. It started with the rise of smartphones ca. 2008/9, then accelerated in the mid twenty-teens, and by now it's just standard weekend behavior for "rowdy teens."

At least it has been this way in the SF Bay Area, and I presume many other cities as well.

The only difference is that people are connecting the dots, and realizing it happens nationwide, not just in their own particular town.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

"America First" isn't just a tag line. It distills a very simple idea that has been lost for a very long time. In fact, it is best seen as a warning to the gaggle of politicians and pundits whose every waking hour is consumed by the notion of a new world order that supersedes the normal human condition of nationalism and patriotism.

Put simply, "America First" is the entirely unremarkable idea that the function of the American government is to protect and defend the interests of the American people, American culture and society, and the American economy.

There is no addendum or subsection that requires American blood and treasure to be spent on any other country, unless it furthers the interests of America.Our alliances must be of benefit to America, or they should be discarded. And most of all, The conduct of America should be entirely self-governed, without any subservience to outside interests. The United Nations, the World Health Organization, NATO, the EU, OPEC, and a host of other international organizations constantly seek to force American subservience to their rules and mandates. Even sovereign countries try to hold America and Americans to their laws. The UK recently beclowned itself (even more than usual) by announcing that they will prosecute Americans for violations of the UK's draconian on-line hate speech laws.

And here we have a particularly egregious violation of our sovereignty by the EU, which has a bug up its pompous, superior, elitist ass when it comes to big bad American corporations being better and more efficient than European companies.

From Brasília to Brussels: Trump Should Broaden His 301 Offensive.

Earlier this year, iRobot, the company that made the Roomba, filed for bankruptcy and was sold off to a Chinese supplier. The cause was a decision made in Brussels, three years ago, to block Amazon’s rescue offer. Thusly, an American company was regulated out of existence by a foreign bureaucracy. A Chinese competitor inherited the spoils, which is a fair summary of how the European Union’s (EU) so-called consumer protections work in the real world.

iRobot is no isolated case. The EU has built an entire regulatory architecture for precisely this purpose, with two pieces of legislation: the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA), marketed as consumer protection but functioning as industrial policy directed at firms headquartered in the United States.

In fact, five of the seven companies Brussels has designated as “gatekeepers” under the DMA are American. European competitors, on the other hand, are usually spared, and Chinese firms face notably lighter compliance pressure. It’s hardly an accident.


This is a direct challenge to the sovereignty and economic leadership of America, and a nakedly partisan attempt to create through regulation what Europe is unable to do with innovation.

The EU and its mandarins are content to be overtaken by China, invaded by 3rd world Muslim hordes, and bought out by Gulf oil money. But competing with America and Americans? That is a bridge too far.

Europe is probably too far gone, but the Western Hemisphere is not, and an American-led regulatory structure that rewards innovation and hard work, and allows market forces to operate, will create the foundation for the economies on our side of the oceans to dominate.

The triad of Marco Rubio at State, Howard Lutnick at Commerce, and Scott Bessent at Treasury, understands this very well, and they should expand their pressure on our hemispheric partners to change the paradigm of the zero-sum economic game that the EU insists upon playing.

I would like to think this, but I don't think we have seen the level of groveling they are willing to do. They are complacent to allow an immigrant hoard to walk in and rape their women. They would remain willing to pay off Iran so as to avoid being blown up (they would think). They are feckless, weak and increasingly unimportant. They have turned their back on everything that once made them great. I see no turning back. I will miss French and Italian wines. I assume the invaders will burn the vineyards down.

41 OT:

Have I got a deal for you!

There is a sports bar in Portland called "The Sports Bra", which shows only women's sports. It's been around since 2022.

It has received millions of dollars of free publicity, and they are doing crowdfunding to take the concept nationwide - to thirty other cities!

This is your big chance to cash in - just $250 is enough to buy a piece of the Sports Bra!

If you actually read the financial statement that comes with the crowdfunding proposal, you discover that:

1) The Sports Bra has never made money.

2) As the novelty has worn off, The Sports Bra has been losing increasing amounts of money over time.

No matter - this is your big chance to get in on the ground floor!

It's like investing in Amazon in 1999!

87 Europe is probably too far gone, but the Western Hemisphere is not, and an American-led regulatory structure that rewards innovation and hard work, and allows market forces to operate, will create the foundation for the economies on our side of the oceans to dominate.
-------

Europe is too far gone. If you've worked with Europeans in the last 20 years you know that they have adapted a culture of utter laziness and entitlement. That culture has been enabled by the largesse and kind heart of the United States of America that has shielded them from danger since WWII and allowed them to spend their time and money on gaywad "cultural" pursuits and not the creation of anything that is actually valuable to commerce.

Forget Canada.

Saving LATAM might be possible. There are some green shoots with non-communists getting elected in a couple of countries and we should be doing everything we can to bolster those governments and show them that capitalism is the way forward, not the bone-lazy socialist bullshit that a LOT of that region has grown to know and love.

113 As noted by President Trump the ballroom will sit atop a sub-surface system of hardened rooms, research facilities and military operations that will form a hub of interconnected executive office government defense operations.

The building is being built to withstand missile and drone attacks, with several floors underground that will serve as a defense system for the President and cabinet members. The ballroom that sits atop the underground network will be paid by President Trump and donors; the government funding is for the military defense complex that will sit underground approximately six stories down. This is a remarkable explanation by President Trump.

Quibbling on the difference in price and value.
A home may maintain its value while the overall price of homes may decrease or increase.

As it is now, we are in a false market driven by entities such as Blackrock buying homes by the tranche then artificially driving up the price coupled with Knum Knutz Powell driving up the interest rate.

This gets straightened out the price of homes will decrease, however, their value may be retained.

The new cunning plan by developers is conversion of those office towers into living residences. But it doesn't work unless you can force people back into cities because it is extremely expensive and people don't want to live in urban Democrat shitholes. So using the hideous idea of Cass Sunstein, you 'nudge' people into that by more or less preventing development outside the city--expensive gas, high taxes levied on suburbs, discouraging families, getting more immigration and directing it into suburbs and rural areas.

That is where the new urbanism crap is coming from, well heeled developers pay their commie new urbanists to push these ideas to political leaders.

185 "137 I don't think any urban elections 'results' indicate actual human preferences, only those of ballots. Unfortunately ballots don't pay taxes nor give a damn about voters.

The biggest tell for this is that no matter how much urban office holders screw up they keep getting re-elected.

No one like a Bass should have any hope of getting re-elected after what she's done and it is very very likely she will.

187 The new cunning plan by developers is conversion of those office towers into living residences. But it doesn't work unless you can force people back into cities because it is extremely expensive and people don't want to live in urban Democrat shitholes. So using the hideous idea of Cass Sunstein, you 'nudge' people into that by more or less preventing development outside the city--expensive gas, high taxes levied on suburbs, discouraging families, getting more immigration and directing it into suburbs and rural areas.

That is where the new urbanism crap is coming from, well heeled developers pay their commie new urbanists to push these ideas to political leaders.

197 As it is now, we are in a false market driven by entities such as Blackrock buying homes by the tranche then artificially driving up the price coupled with Knum Knutz Powell driving up the interest rate.

This gets straightened out the price of homes will decrease, however, their value may be retained.

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at May 19, 2026 12:07 PM (UPlzn)


Actually, lower rates drive home prices higher since they institutional borrowers like Blackstone get the very best rates and use that to buy up real estate to rent back at a good profit. They also get to use the houses they owe money on and are renting as further collateral and using those loans they can outbid people who have to get loans based on their income, which drives prices higher.

Interest rates are the price of buying money, just like the cost of buying a car on installment plans.
The difference is that if the government decided to force the price of cars extremely low "to make sure everyone had transportation to improve the economy" then eventually we would run out of cars available to buy - and when it is interest rates forced low, the Fed and the Treasury can just "print" more money

European Union consumer protections grant robust rights—including strong return policies, safe product standards, and limits on unfair practices—which currently apply to displaced Ukrainians within the EU.

Furthermore, Ukraine is actively harmonizing its domestic laws with EU directives, granting Ukrainians additional protections like the "Roam Like at Home" telecom framework.

European support is actively transforming Ukraine into the continent's preeminent military and technological powerhouse, driven by its unmatched combat experience.

Dali designed a pavilion at the 39-40 NY World's Fair that featured topless mermaids swimming about. It was not the only topless attraction there. There was an outdoor exhibit of ladies with no tops doing such things as playing badminton, sunning themselves, etc. Billed as a naturist thing. Most of the girls were from burlesque houses, which were still popular at the time. Admission was extra.

67 I always have a soft spot for Dali. He's not as cerebral as Magritte and his compositions can be a bit of a clutter, but he's fun, and I can't say that about much 20th Century art.

Thanks for the post, CBD!

68 How some stuff makes it into museums and goes into history as "great art" is beyond me. Especially when I've seen things done by some really lousy students in art classes that's far better than what's hanging up in those hallowed halls. Probably because somebody bribed an art critic to tell you how marvelous and avante-garde that piece of crap is, and make you feel like a complete dummy for not "seeing" it. Feh!

Dali's use of burning giraffes is a recurring symbol of his -- it represents apocalyptic threats or ideas of war.

All ART is the essential expression of the way life could and should be of EVERY CULTURE in EVERY ERA.

LIB are is the epitome of depravity and disintegration perfectly reflecting the state of their inner being, whose sole purpose is to Reward the Guilty, Punish the Innocent and Champion the mediocre, the Unworthy the DEPRAVED on the basis of their Depravity.

They do (believe and ascribe to) this as an act of naked depraved revenge because Life have Purpose and Meaning, they seek and enact Moral Vandalism as proof and erroneous vindication of the Power of Evil over Good.

A World Safe for Socialism is a world where the dead, the Dying, the DISSENTING are carted away in boxcars that rumble night and day to smokestacks that billow without end to heat the bathwaters of their elite who pit Man against other men until we exist no more -- not becaues they themselves are evil -- but because they are SUPREMELY BORED -- and this ART PIECE epitomizes that, daring you to call it the absolute crap that it is -- much like the b'wannabe Damien Thorne-like nepo-LIB art of Hunter Biden... no less!

127 Dali's art, including this one, is 'interesting' in the same way something negative and unreal is interesting. The audience wonders how or why he felt the need to make the painting. His technical skill is subsumed by the bizarre, often repulsive, images. CBD's 'so what' attitude is a perfect and justified reaction.

Most of Dali's art, and many other 20th century 'critically acclaimed paintings, are why so much of the art of the period leaves me cold with the ugly and nihilistic content. Think I'll go look at some Andrew Wyeth or his dad's illustrations for enjoyable 20th century art.

Posted by: JTB at May 19, 2026 09:56 AM (yTvNw)

128 Yes! There's more! and this is the reason why. This is the call to arms for all Good Men to do more that Absolutely Nothing in the face of a determined evil which has no justification, nor does it seek any.

Indeed, the only, purpose of artisans like this and those that support them is to perpetuate the moral inversion of the worthless being highly value. ask yourself Why?

In any collaboration between good and evil it only evil which benefits.
In any conflict between good and evil it is the more consistent who will prevail.

The basic subtext behind the LIB strategic insanity and their philosophy is STOP ME IF YOU THINK YOU CAN while they arm themselves with every vile principle imaginable.

The world is the way it is not because they aren't free to live that way and let nature (and evolution) take its course to eradicate themselves from future history; no, it is this way because at some fundamental level they understand that they are wrong, and experience FEAR for having abandoned their only means of survival, and GUILT because they know that they have done so willingly. and they plan to TAKE YOU WITH THEM!

That the only common ground between good and evil is to put you in it.

YOUR THOUGHTS? EX POLICE OFFICER CHARGED FROM FATAL ON DUTY SHOOTING. A former Hartford Police CT officer is now facing a first-degree manslaughter charge after the 2026 shooting death of a 55-year-old man armed with a large knife. Investigators say officers spent several minutes trying to talk the man down.

Police reportedly gave dozens of commands for him to drop the knife and even attempted to use a taser before it failed.

The man began walking toward Officer Magnano who then fired. The Connecticut Office of the Inspector General ruled the shooting was NOT justified. The Hartford Police Union strongly disagrees, saying the officer was facing an armed suspect who refused repeated commands. The suspect was told 62 times to drop the knife. This case is sparking heated debate across the country. The former officer turned himself in and was released on a $50,000 bond. He is expected in court on June 5.

152 The "Southern Strategy" lie is so embedded in the leftist mind they actually believe the South has been "ruled by Republicans for generations."

By "generations" they mean ... since the early 2000s or later.

Dem Ann Richards was governor of TX until W in 1995.

The TX house didn't flip to Dem until 2003--and even since then to now, the R speaker has won, not by solely caucus votes but by buying Dem votes.

yes, "generations" of Republican control all across the South.

BTW, 2031 redistricting in the South is going to wipe out the last of the state-level Dems--all of those were under unconstitutional rulings.
We'll see super-majority R in nearly every Southern state.

168 Inventions of the Monsters
Salvador Dalí

Well...okay. It's art.
But my overriding though is: "So what?"
---
Egad! Would not be on the wall with Dr. Syn (1981).

Painted by Salvador Dalí in 1937, Inventions of the Monsters is a haunting surrealist masterpiece. Prophetic in tone, Dalí created the canvas in Austria just before the outbreak of World War II. Today, you can view this renowned artwork in person at the Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois.

Symbolic Breakdown: In a telegram to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1943, Dalí provided a direct, symbolic breakdown of the strange entities within the dreamscape: The Flaming Giraffe: Represents a masculine apocalyptic monster. Horse-Women: Act as maternal river monsters. The Cat-Angel: Depicts a divine heterosexual monster. The Hourglass: Represents a metaphysical monster. Dalí and Gala: Stand on the right as the "sentimental monster," alongside a nearly invisible, fading little blue dog.
---
Salvador Dalí’s knowledge of war was not based on being a soldier, but rather on direct exposure to political violence and a profound psychological obsession with death and suffering.

Dali was full of crap & likely a perv, imho.

Yes, because depravity and its carrier Moral Vandalism spreads as a contagion, whereas in ordinary circumstance a simple "NO" (or silence) to express disagreement with a lifestyle and circumstance is suffiicent -- in extraordinary times (LIKE NOW) such silence is taken as tacit approval -- and such dissaproval as worthy enough reason for others to stand up to actively sponsor and defend the very people who under other circumstance might murder you with a laugh (and that with a smile) if they could get away with it...

which through their art they are -- to put you in it.
to seize the unearned, and demand the undeserved... your silence and tacit approval. while they sit back with a knowing smile.

You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. You can pay people less than what they’re worth. But you can’t earn that.”

It's crazy how she says the most simple truths, and everyone excoriates her for being some kind of radical.

The party as a whole needs to lean into messaging that billionaires are trying to make you hate your neighbor so they can steal from you. The true "welfare queens" are the billionaires. They benefit from the systems and infrastructure the most while giving back the least or none at all.

Taxing them isn't punishing them, it's just demanding they reinvest their stolen assets back into the economy they keep taking from. We the people need to remind them heavy taxation was the compromise.

Really hope she runs for president. She might naturalize all the undocumented people and then let them vote and democrats would never lose again. Hope she runs on there are no illegals on stolen land as her main talking point.

It doesn't count because we made something wonderful and now the land is worth far more, so we should give it back to them. Or something.

They are conquerors who do not have the strength of arms to take it, so they whine and whine and whine and cheat and steal to take it.

They literally facilitated the sending of billions back to Somalia and did not care because they were allowed to whet their beaks. That is the thing, they do not just get social cachet from these schemes, they also get monetary rewards.

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed
...
Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

243 In fairness to Dali, he was flooded with commissions. Most of his paintings were completed under a fierce deadline. Under those circumstances, he would churn out technically proficient works that lacked any kind of coherent theme or idea, which he would then claim was the whole idea.

I personally like Dali's drawings, which were usually studies for his larger works but sometimes just drawn for their own sake. He was an excellent draughtsman (and an even better salesman).

If you've seen and are a fan of TDWP, then you know what to expect, lots of fru-fru people and concerns, lots of low level conflict and gay cattiness reqardless of whether they're teh ghey or not, and fabulous couture. Oh, and everyone turns out to be okay in the end.

It has Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt who are easy to look at and who I like as actresses so it wasn't too painful, but...This is a GIRLY movie with a capital G.

One of the reasons to see this movie, is that it's an almost perfect distillation of the world-view of Our Betters.

These fabulous people live fabulous lives with fabulous money because they deserve it. You see, they have dedicated their lives to beauty and art, and have made sacrifices!!!!.

Or so, we're told in different ways several times.

Oh and they are good, good, goody-good-good people because they care about- They care so much! and occasionally write about clean water for Africa or some such thing.

And yet, they never ever would sacrifice one bit or one minute of their conspicuous consumption.

If this work was created to ultimately convey meaning I have to say I have no idea what is being said. It strikes me a being a very elaborate doodle.

If this work was created to be pure art, much in the manner that much classical music is pure music that is exists without explicit meaning, it falls flat, it doesn't engage me, it doesn't leave a deeper memory of it. Once again, it strikes me as a very elaborate doodle.

Genghis Khan and his soldiers attacked a tiny village and took all the villagers prisoners, then decided to play a game.


He blindfolded all the women and ordered the men to strip and stand in line.

Each woman had to go down the line and attempt to identify her husband by his penis. If she got it wrong, both would be executed.

The first woman kept touching the penises until she found her husband's and declared it.

Genghis was disappointed.

Second woman, same thing. She readily identified her husband's penis.

Now Genghis got really pissed. He stripped down and got in line himself.

The third woman started. "Not him" , "Not him", Not him either"...

This continued until she touched Genghis's penis. She stopped for a while and thought really hard

"Not from our village" she muttered and moved on...

He is also doing it on X but his youtube presentations are better. He is responding and sometimes baiting idiots on X which ups his engagement count coincidentally.

It boils down to this--self defense is a justification defense which means that the tables are flipped. You have to meet a statutory burden of proof as a defendant to claim it. When you claim self defense, then you no longer can claim the other dude did it or some other dude did it, you have to be a 'true man', admit you shot (assaulted, etc.) someone which is admitting a crime.

Next you have to provide under the totality of circumstances, to a judge and jury, that you were justified in your exercise of force (or implied force) to prevent serious injury or death to you from assailant(s). The laws vary somewhat across states but that is the gist of it.

300 First off I think Dali is a better painter than most of the famous 20th century artists. He paints circles around Picasso IMO. His often use of “surreal” elements made him famous; Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock and Luis Buñuel all employed Dali’s work in their films because he’s both unique and superlative. I cannot fathom why the faithful here, including CBD, seem to find this dreamlike imagery so off putting. I realize we’re all morons here, but come on.

The Morning Report — 5/ 19/26

Morning Report intro.jpg

Good morning kids. So two teenagers went on a deadly shooting spree at a San Diego mosque yesterday. Here's what's known so far:

"Outside the center were three adult men dead from gunshot wounds, according to San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl, who spoke to the media after the shooting."

horrible on every level.

The alleged gunmen in a shooting rampage that left three people dead outside a San Diego mosque have been identified as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez, according to a law enforcement source.

At least one of the suspects took a weapon from their parents’ home and left a suicide note that talked about racial pride, a law enforcement source told The Post.

Clark attended Madison High School and was a standout wrestler, according to the school’s social media page. His grandfather, David Clark, 78, said: ”We’re very sorry for what happened. We know as much as you do. It’s a shock.” Clark and Velasquez were found dead inside a BMW from self-inflicted gunshot wounds only a few blocks from the Islamic Center of San Diego.

Anti-Islamic writings were found in the suspects’ vehicle and “hate speech” was written on the firearms used in the shooting, according to the source.

Let me state in no uncertain terms that this is absolutely horrendous to anyone who believes in and desires to live in a civilized society. Speaking of which, my personal feelings and opinions about Islam are no secret to anyone who has read my columns and listened to me speak on the podcast over these past few years and for sure as an American, a Jew and as one who is a student of history. Islam was, is, and a highly unlikely reformation of its core tenets regarding those whom it considers infidels and subhuman, notwithstanding, always will be a violent tyrannical totalitarian death cult that will seek the conquest of humanity and the world, as it has done for nearly 1500 years.

Does that mean I advocate or implore anyone who reads and hears my words to go out and do what these two maniacs did, absolutely no. But to be a follower of Islam is to go out and commit the most abhorrent acts of violence or at the very least to cheer on those who do, as we saw on the rooftops of Jersey City as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center collapsed into flaming heaps and in Israel in the wake of the October 7 mass wave assault from Gaza. Those being but two examples of the oceans of blood and tears spilled in the name of advancing Islam.

The question of course is how to prevent these things from happening in the first place. Since Islam is not compatible and indeed completely antithetical to civilized society, further immigration to the west of Muslims should cease, and any attempts to impose Sharia law or to establish Islamic jurisdictions/political boundaries/communities et al as is being attempted in Texas among other places must be resisted by every LEGAL means necessary.

Of course the Democrat/Left will interpret/bastardize my words, which echo individuals such as Robert Spencer, Pam Geller and others into "Go out and shoot up mosques or hunt down Muslims!"

Shoot up a synagogue, a church, a Christmas parade and get a pat on the back.

And on a not entirely unrelated note, there's this:

A trio of bloodthirsty fans of accused assassin Luigi Mangione — who were granted press passes by City Hall — spouted vile hate and unapologetic calls for political violence from a Manhattan courthouse steps Monday.
Self-proclaimed “Mangionistas” Abril Rios, Ashley Rojas and Lena Weissbrot proudly showed off the passes they received from Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration, apparently for their online content documenting Mangione’s upcoming trial for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
But the credentialed “reporters” chillingly made no bones about supporting Mangione’s alleged vendetta to strike fear into the hearts of healthcare executives such as Thompson.

>>The CIA is responsible for every bad conflict we've been in since Vietnam

This is true, but given the alternatives, Venezuela being in our control is preferable to it being in China's control.

WRT Iran, the goal was a disarmed Iran and neutered mullahs.

I don't really think we've achieved those goals and the conflict dragging on is going to cause political problems for Trump and Republicans generally.

We cannot afford these democrat maniacs and lunatics getting back into power.

This is a sentiment that I fear will be repeated and amplified as the summer goes on. Analytically, many voters know that an atomic Iran is a danger to the ME and the world. But most people do not vote analytically, they vote with their pocketbooks.

The Dems are salivating over the chance to point at gas prices and sneer, "Trump did that!" And he can expect no support from the GOP or the MFM. He needs to address this problem very soon and in very practical terms, or the midterms are lost.

You are quite correct. But this will require concentrated military action, including but not limited to eliminating Irans remaining drone and missile capacity, eliminating the rest of their small missile boats, and seizing control of the small islands in this gulf. These steps alone would significantly lower the oil prices and their effects that you note.

But Trump has now decided that Macron and Starmer were right, and that the US should never undertake any military action unless we have the permission of the rest of the world first.

Finding a community of people that shares interests with you can be hard. It was easier pre-covid when people got together in person more.

But it can be done - find local meetup/facebook/volunteer groups.

If that doesn't work then yes the internet is the other option. Here you have politics, longbows, and such, and their are other forums for other interests.

172 Due to redistricting there are not that many competitive races, but Senate races could be much tighter
--
Most estimates put the max at ... 18.
That was before redistricting.
Wave elections of the past, before both parties got so good at computer modeling, would see 40+ seats flip.

2024 was a wave election. Trump would have swept in 20-40 seats minimum if it was 20 years ago.
Instead, the R's flipped ... 8.
Four of those were wins by nearly 20 points and up.

For Dems to flip the House now, they need a minimum of +10 on the generic ballot.

And wouldn't you know it, suddenly polls are "showing" exactly that.
If you want to see how badly redistricting has hurt the Dems, there's your actual proof ....

182 If Trump destroys Iran completely, how does that make the price of oil come down?
Posted by: JackStraw at May 19, 2026 08:31 AM (viF8m)

Kuwait’s oil production has been almost completely shut down, and in spite of talk about other methods of shipping oil, the output of the UAE and most of Iraq’s production is also severely curtailed. That’s what comes back online even if Irans production doesn’t.

Iran’s oil, for years, has gone primarily to China.

190 >>We're being gouged because Europe can't get oil through the Strait. I was hoping UAE bailing on OPEC would start a chain reaction, but it didn't.

It's not just that, it's that no Iranian oil is entering the market. Iran produces around 4 5% of the world's oil and someone will need to fill that hole.

Trump can obviously level Iran but he's not. He's also obviously not afraid to go beast mode so he must have a reason he is trying to do this without completely destroying Iran. Perhaps he doesn't want to create another failed state in the ME because we all know what happens in failed Muslim states. People can say that's the Middle Easts problem but we all also know how that always works out.

It didn’t mention the Qatari’s, but I’m sure they were quite pleased to see it called off as well.

241 I think there are two issues that are non-starters for the US;
- Iran's control of the Hormuz
- Iran's retention of enriched Uranium

I believe those two "demands" from the IRGC (who's now effectively in control of the country) are what we keep coming back to after a new set of demands are set.

Trump may have fallen for it once, but not twice. He does, passionately, want a deal however.

And, FWIW, every day this drags on is another day that strains the EU, China and Russia. And demonstrates that the US is not, yet, totally "energy independent."

Sometimes you just have to rub one's nose in certain things before they see the light.

347 This ruling puts CHCO in a bind, as they are faced with choosing between a potential discrimination suit or going to war with HHS over the HHS declaration from last fall to withhold all Medicaid funding from hospitals that continue to provide hormone prescriptions for gender-confused youth as I discussed in a Morning Rant here a couple of moths ago.
Posted by: muldoon at May 19, 2026 09:05 AM (qgHp7)
===================
Thank you for following this so closely Muldoon. These crazy judges are risking care for the entire patient population, playing chicken with HHS. In the article, I was particularly struck with how important Medicaid is to the system:

According to the court, CHC received $182.6 million in funding in 2024, mostly from the federal government. Almost half of the hospital’s patients were Medicaid enrollees. As a result, losing federal funding could have a significant impact on the hospital.

354 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

"About two hours before the shooting was reported, police received a call from Clark's mother who reported her son and vehicle missing, alongside several of her weapons, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said.

The mother said her son was suicidal and was with a companion, both dressed in camouflage, Wahl said, which triggered a "large threat assessment picture." ...

A suicide note in one suspect's parents' home contained writings about racial pride, and "hate speech was scrawled on one of the weapons that was used in the shooting, the officials said. The specifics of the language were not immediately clear. "But there was no specific threat to any place mentioned in the note and weapons of one of the suspects who attacked the Islamic Center of San Diego, Wahl said."

"There was no specific threat, especially no specific threat to the Islamic Center, It was just general hate kind of speech that I think covered a wide gamut," he said. "Again, we are still actively investigating this as we speak, but it was more generalized."

355 Who was Cain Clark

"Clark was a 17 year old high school wrestler whose family had put him in an online schooling program in 2021, according to officials." ...

"Clark had been on track to graduate and had no disciplinary history except in elementary school, when he punched someone in the leg in 2015, (James Canning, a spokesperson for San Diego Unified School District) Canning said." CNN ^

The 18-year-old individual who was with Cain Clark during the May 18, 2026, shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego was identified by law enforcement and media sources as Caleb Vazquez (also spelled Velasquez). Both teenagers were found dead inside a vehicle a few blocks from the mosque. NBC News

There's little else about Vazquez with some exception, such as: Facebook, News for Black Community, 11 hrs, has pictures from 2015 and 2016, reported to be Vazquez. There's also this: "According to investigators, anti-Islam writings were discovered inside the suspects’ vehicle following the attack. Authorities also reported finding a gas can displaying an “SS” sticker, a symbol historically associated with Nazi Germany’s elite military units."

All referenced articles contain more info.

Another thing: Platner's nazi symbol was tatooed over his heart. THAT matters.
---
Allegedly, while out drinking with fellow Marines on liberty at the port of Split, Croatia, they decided to get matching tattoos. They chose a "terrifying-looking skull and crossbones" design straight off a tattoo parlor wall.

Nearly two decades later, opposition research revealed that the specific chest tattoo closely resembled the Totenkopf ("death's head"), an infamous symbol used by Nazi SS concentration camp guards.

In late 2025, Platner addressed the issue publicly on the Pod Save America podcast. He stated that he had absolutely no knowledge of the symbol's historical Nazi associations at age 22, and he has since had the original ink covered up with a Celtic knot design. (Guardian, yada yada)

428 Reverse 426 and 427.

Also, Platner finished his service with the U.S. Marines in 2007.

He had no idea after serving four entire years as a Marine what such a tattoo meant? (And you know he'd get an a** kicking in Croatia for trying that now.)

Further, the US Marine Corps did not—and still does not—allow Nazi tattoos. Marine Corps policies have strictly prohibited tattoos that are racist, sexist, vulgar, gang-related, or extremist.

In 2007, the USMC expanded its tattoo regulations to crack down on excessive body art. Marines were required to document their ink and those with extremist symbols were subject to administrative separation (discharge) or disciplinary action.

Further, Mom was long involved with the DNC.

And he waited until October 21, 2025.

10 For you non-coder types out there, GitHub uses a tool called "git". "git" is a version control application; if you modify (say) a document or a group of files, you might want to be able to figure out what you've changed and you might want to be able to go back to a previous version of that document or group of documents.

Software weasels like me use those features every day.

The important bit is that "git" is a "distributed version control" system. To work on git repository (a collection of files that's under version control), you "clone" it. In fact, that's the command; "git clone ".

That feature makes it difficult for an entity holding your source code to ransom your access to it; every developer in your organization has a clone of the repository, which is a mirror image of the parent, plus whatever local changes you've made.

They can, of course, do a version of blackmail; you have secrets you don't want the world to know. Pay us, or the world will know those secrets.

I try too. But in some cases in this pesthole there is only one practical path -- across the river, for instance. When an accident happened on the main bridge, you were stuck.

I used to leave for work early enough that, if the main bridge was clogged thanks to one idiot running into another idiot, I could divert to the older bridge in the suburbs. An additional twenty-five minutes' commute, but at least I would be moving.

The older bridge, which dated to the Thirties, was recently widened and turned into the superhighway it always should have been -- just as the main bridge to downtown was given a second span about forty years ago, only forty years late.

55 Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. 72 sunny degrees here at Stately Poppins Manor, with a high of 93 predicted. I plan on staying inside with the curtains drawn for as long as I can.

Had my annual physical yesterday. I'm healthy, says my doctor, which always comes as a surprise. He is bumping up my antidepressant dosage and also suggested counseling, though I don't see the use of that - I know what's wrong with me and I know how to fix it, but I simply don't have the will to do it. Why should I pay someone to tell me what I can freely tell myself?

I may or may not finish my book draft today. I need to restore some cuts, type up a bridge and then move on to the final chapter. It's really a question of dedication, and perhaps the hot weather will stop me from wandering out into the garden.

I just splurged on some fancy expensive Braun 9 Super plus dollar sign pro whatever it's called electric shaver. I gotta say I'm pretty happy with it. Had been rocking the old school double sided safety razor for years now, but the shaver is much better for those mornings of "oh man I actually have a job I have to physically go to and not look homeless now, and i'm running out of minutes to get myself there".

Old razor can still put in a shift on the weekends if he wants, I guess.

I've liked Braun products -- coffeemakers and razors -- for years. The Braun was the only electric razor that ever cut me, though. 'Struth: A bit of the foil head sheared off and stuck up, and scratched me as I shaved. (I bought a Norelco the next day.) Do they even still make coffeemakers?

Once I began using a safety razor, I realized that every other day worked best for my face and beard, and nobody at work was checking my face for stubble. Still, I made time on the alternate days for at least a one-pass shave.

Counselling can be worth it even if they're 100% full of crap, or 100% telling you what you already know. It forces you out of the proverbial rabbit hole. It forces something external on to whatever is plaguing you. You have to go to a place and do a thing with another person, which can act as the impetus you might need to dislodge yourself from whatever path it is that you're on and don't want to be on.

If we hairless apes could bootstrap mental health through brute force and willpower alone, we wouldn't even need a phrase that means "mental health".

60 The Chuwi Unibook with a Wildcat CPU for $449 is an interesting alternative to the Macbook Neo.

Even though the Chuwi is a checklist winner on ports the 300 nits screen blows and that wears its welcome out quickly. Neo crushes it here on a part that is used 100% of time.

Then there is the track pad. I have fussed around with the Neo track pad and it is a terrific part. If the Chuwi trackpad is on par with the typical Windows plastic fantastic ones, well, they too are pretty miserable.

Keyboard? Again Neo's is excellent. Odds on the Chwi again, is on par with the typical meh Windows plastic fantastic ones.

What about the case? Fit and finish? Can you get it in multiple colors?

What about an equally well priced ecosystem of products that work with the Chuwi? Apple with its mid-priced phone, entry level watch, the basic iPad, some earbuds is a big win here.

And lastly, what store can I visit to try and then buy a Chuwi? You can't and that counts.

Apple did something remarkable with the Neo: they built an inexpensive laptop that never once feels cheap something the Chuwi will struggle with to match is my guess.

It also amazes me, though it shouldn't, how well-written they are (within the limits of a thirty-minute show) and well-acted, not only by Culp (and Boone and Nick Adams) but also by the supporting cast and guest stars.

The idea of putting your code on a platform you don’t own or control is stupid.

And writing a version control script is not that hard.


You can use git and not publish to GitHub, GitLab, or anywhere else. I've got git repositories within my own network that I don't share with other people, but DO share between machines in my local network.

If you only work on one machine, then you can use RCS, which has been around since the early 1980s.

Don't confuse the tool with platforms that make the tool easier to use with other people that you may not know. Even so, you do you.

I actually have some stuff on GitHub that I purposefully intended to share with others who wanted to use it. If only I looked as good as my GitHub avatar...

83 Everyone craves in-group approval at some level. It's hard-wired in us.

Critical Everything Theory created entire microcultures whose only core characteristic is to seek disapproval. Transgress. Pervert. Invert. "Deconstruct". If you would have approval, prepare for disapproval.

Now the same biological urge that once made it unthinkable to become a brigand or a murderer is now the very same urge that makes it unthinkable *not* to do so. How could we not go out and murder strangers and then kill ourselves? We're not *that* sort of person. Perish the thought. We're authentic.

Allow AI to help:

They built their cities of rhetoric out of the hollow bones of consent, little citadels of perpetual negation where the only fidelity was to the act of denying itself, a liturgy of inversion practiced with the solemnity of a chapel thrice burned; and there, amid the slow rot of habit and the fevered whispering that passed for doctrine, they made of transgression an art and of art a sacrament, perverting the bright ordinances of the obvious until the face of the ordinary was a palimpsest of affronts, words hewn like stone — “deconstruct,” they said — as if the language could unmake the world and be absolved, as if approval were a gaunt thing to be hunted and if ever you stooped to pick up its pale coin you had already set your heel upon it and summoned the long, patient fury of disapproval to come and finish the business of living.

120 "Does it game?" It may, but I don't, so it doesn't matter.

For lower-end users like myself - I surf the web, occasionally watch a movie, do email and word processing, and the occasional audio editing with Audacity - a lower-power laptop is just fine, thank you very much. Every few years, I buy the cheapest Windows machine I can find and, as soon I bring it home, I nuke Windows and replace it with Ubuntu - which, these days, is surprisingly easy.

I wish I could get a rebate for the Windows license that I never use, but prying coin out of Microsoft's fingers is a task well beyond my powers.

Yukon2026.jpg

I knew that the Yukon River was long, but almost 2,000 miles long? Pretty impressive! I first learned about the Yukon River from Jack London in The Call of the Wild, and White Fang. And because I was a kid, I dug into a lot of his other stories, which were chock full of the Yukon River. It has been awhile, but one collection of short stories, called Smoke Bellew, still resonates.

I think I wanted to be a gold prospector in Alaska for a few years, and of course have a dog just like White Fang!

That has certainly morphed into communist and communist-adjacent, although their end game is just the same. One day American schools will once again teach the evils of communism, and we will be much better off as a country.

Maybe I am naive, but I am genuinely puzzled by people who are true believers. As a political philosophy, it is so transparently false that it is difficult to comprehend the suspension of logic and the discarding of knowledge of the human condition that is necessary to believe in it.

The bosses are a different issue. They want power, and are willing to do anything to get it and exercise it. THAT I understand, because it is sadly part of the human condition.

German Tourist Killed by Cobra Bite at Egypt Hotel Snake Show
According to PEOPLE, the 57-year-old man, from the Unterallgäu region of Germany, was traveling with two family members when the incident occurred. The resort had staged a snake show for guests featuring two cobras, during which the snake charmer moved through the audience encouraging guests to handle the snakes and drape them around their necks.

During the show, the cobra found its way into the man’s clothing and struck him in the leg. The venom took effect quickly — he needed emergency resuscitation at the scene before being rushed to a hospital, where doctors were unable to save him. He has not been publicly identified.


This is me being naive again. Are there really people who are so stupid and oblivious that they think having a cobra slither around your neck as part of the night's entertainment is a good idea?

Bob Dylan is widely described as Rock's greatest poet.

Bullshit.

In the real world, Paul Simon should be considered modern music's best bard, simply because he is slightly less pompous. Add in a tremendous number of fine songs with fine, poetic lyrics, and little Bobby is merely a pretender to the throne. And his enthusiastic participation in politics, while probably good for his career, is grating. Plus, "Hurricane" is a terrible song, and Ruben Carter was a thug, and my guess is that he did the crime.

96 Yesterday's airshow crash in Idaho: All four Navy crew members are reported in "stable" condition, with "non-profit threatening" injuries. They must have had one Hell of a ride when they ejected.

The Air Force Base is in a rather isolated area, and there aren't a lot of roads in the vicinity. The aircraft wreckage managed to fall directly on top of one of the few paved roads in the area. Fortunately, it wasn't the main highway to the base that sees thousands of trips per day, but several hundred people who live at the other end of the road will now have to made a 30 minute detour for a few days.

Simon is one of my favorite musicians and like another of my favorite musicians, Yo-yo Ma, is not afraid to take a risk on something new. For Simon, I'm thinking particularly of Graceland and for Ma, his "bluegrass" albums. In my opinion, not all such experiments are successful but without them, we would've missed some great music.

FYI, Scarborough Fair / Canticle was a rare piece created by both of them. These two songs were old folk songs. Beautifully put together.

I had a 1988 Mitsubishi Starion back in the day. The wiper speed was somehow triggered to the moving speed of the car. So if you set the intermittent speed to perfection at a stop light, it would speed up to match the speed of the car so you didn't have to manually compensate and fiddle with the switch. It worked great. I thought that was a pretty cool thing for 1988. That car had a bunch of little shit like that.

173 I agree about Dylan. It's telling that the best Dylan song - "Stuck In The Middle With You" - is in fact a parody of Dylan. The Nobel committee beclowned itself when it gave the prize for literature to that twerp.

The truth is, possibly excepting Lennon and McCartney, no songwriter of the rock era can hold a candle to the composers of the Great American Song Book: Irving Berlin, the Gershwin brothers, Cole Porter, et al.

174 Penny Marshall had some good stories about Carrie Fisher in her autobiography. One about tripping on LSD and trying to use the elevator in her building, laughing and falling on the floor while doing it.

Penny and Garry Marshall's Mom ran a dance school in the Bronx. She kept an ashtray full of sedatives, valium, etc. and threatened to take them all when the kids got out of hand. Penny grew up on the Grand Concourse in the same building as Neil Simon, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren.

179 The guy cussing after the sewage truck was hit by the train...wait til he opens his door. For once the cussing was very appropriate except the "holy" part.

If it had not occurred to him what that green liquid stuff was spewing around atomizing, well, it will be too late as the methane concoction will knock him flat. Probably into the spill where he will become one with it. [I could be wrong and the sewage is treated with something, which would also be gross and a biohazard]

I can't remember due to my recent cholera from the 1800's if the sewage driver lived.This might be one time when I'd not volunteer to be a nurse.

Posted by: LRob in OK at May 18, 2026 10:56 PM (Jr+re)

I guess it depends on where you are in jersey. North east is different from north west and is different from central, and is different from south. Kinda like a mini united states. Certain areas have an influx of people from Staten island and brooklyn, and from central jersey you could be as little as 10 minutes from Staten island, and since the bars were open later over there it was a big thing to head to staten island after the bar closed here. You have a lot of cross pollination in that area. Also a lot of staten islanders ended up in Marlboro. When I was doing kitchens in that area in the 80s it was amazing how many were from staten island. Some of the car shows I go to now have groups of dudes that slowly moved here from there. I know of at least 6 dudes in the last few years who moved here. You would definitely hear gabagool in these areas. lol

The true magic of her voice was in the lower registers, what she called her basement voice. She said the money's in the basement.

I remember reading something a good while back about that. She couldn't really belt it out in her lower registers, so they had to use a close mike, which can be tricky.

Her higher registers were good too, but the magic was in the basement. She would contrast them sometimes, and that could really show off the basement magic.

220 It's necessary for the revolution to eat its own. Communists never intend to liberate anyone. Just to take over power structures for themselves and use them toward a different end.

Once the revolutionaries seize power, a cadre will necessarily rise to the top. Once it does, they *must* murder all their erstwhile comrades. Those people have proven two things: they are natural dissenters, and they know how to fight against an entrenched power structure. They must go.

The people who replace them will be unblooded, and terrified from day one. So the tidal wave of blood can recede - but it will continually wash back in from time to time, to keep the youngsters from getting fresh with anyone.

Eh, music like all art is subjective. And I get not liking Dylan cause of some of his politics despite the fact he became a Christian singer later in life but pretending he wasn't an amazingly gifted songwriter is kind of silly.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket at May 18, 2026 10:25 PM (Ra+Eb)

Good call, Helena. Washers have very sensitive air pressure switch, attached to a hose that runs to the bottom of the outer drum. As water rises in the drum, trapped air in the tube is compressed, and trips the switch to shut off the fill solenoids. That's how the fill level is set. If that hose is compromised, washer may overfill, or not fill at all.

251 German Tourist Killed by Cobra Bite at Egypt Hotel Snake Show

And the British fellow? Bubbles and squeak

253 Dylan was involved politically early on. He sang a tune or two at the Lincoln Memorial during the ‘63 march. Also at the McGee farm along with other folkies and lefties.

Now there is a theory, not that I hold to this, that somehow some sort of deal was struck. Bob agreed to tone down his political activism n exchange for not getting drafted. He was the prime age for this. The “proof” of this, adherents claim, is that Bob explained all this, albeit obliquely. Remember the famous Folkie civil rights protest gathering down south, on the McGee farm?

Well - I ain’t gonna work on Magee’s Farm no more. They hand you a nickle, they hand you a dime, and then they ask you if you’re having a good time…

He did pretty much stay mum after that, to the chagrin of everyone who claimed he was “the voice of a generation” and the rest of it. What is wrong with you?! He has always famously done his best to avoid getting pigeonholed, or let others try to define him or control him. Can’t argue with that.

Eh, music like all art is subjective. And I get not liking Dylan cause of some of his politics despite the fact he became a Christian singer later in life but pretending he wasn't an amazingly gifted songwriter is kind of silly. To this day their are people who shun him because he went electric at the Newport Folk Festival and brought all that music, including Simon, to a new audience.

Ronnie Van Zant, anytime, all the time. LOVE;Lou Gramm...love;Steve Walsh...Kansas always at our keggers.Eric Clapton in every band;Steve Winwood...Higher Love always to dance
Steve Perry (fight me);Bobby Kimball...Toto
Eric Bloom...Blue Oyster Cult;Gary Moore...Still Got the Blues;Phil Collins;Gerry Rafferty
Dan Fogelberg (oh, man, too soon)Kenny Loggins
Brad Paisleyne song can still bring tears: When I get where I am going, right after my Daddy died)
Marty Balin: Miracles...whoa..and the saxophone
Marc Cohn: Walking in Memphis

Women singers:
Anne Wilson;Linda Ronstadt;Karen Carpenter

Alison Krauss with Union Station remains my all time favorite and we saw them last summer. Her voice is amazing, effortless, angelic. Give her a listen if you've never heard her. Same voice for over 25yrs.LOVE

I did go through a brief Adele phase with 21 and like some of her songs like Set Fire to the Rain, which I sing to.

I do as well. Also dislike a lot of heavy metal or whatever is going on now (sorry, disco).

My musician husband (hobby but natural guitarist and pianist and very good) gets irritated by some of the stuff I like.

He's introduced me to a lot of blues stuff and really knows rock music from our time (Civil War era or the mid '70's). I'll ask him about a song we hear and he knows it within seconds.

I forgot The Guess Who. He and I agree on them and most including a great band I also forgot: Bad Company.

I hate The Who with a passion. Don't know why but he knows, oh, he knows and doesn't play this in the car.

He claims Winwood went through a pop type phase with Higher Love and I don't care and play it super loud sometimes anyway. I should have tested this song when I was sick last week to see if I'd rise out of my death bed to dance to it. Otherwise he likes Winwood.

We don't argue much about anything, but he does have his comments if I am listening to something he thinks is "bubble gum."

He also knows I ignore him so it works out for knowing each other almost 49yrs and still being best friends.

304 I think Dylan lost his taste for leftism (to the extent he ever had one beyond the default settings of musicians of the time) after his relationship with Red Diaper Baby Suze Rotolo came to a monumentally bad end.

My theory is that he figure out they were trying to get him to write commie propaganda with vagina as an inducement.

And say what else you might want to say about Dylan (and yeah, Hurricane sucked ass... that whole period sucked ass), he's made Oppositional Defiant Disorder into an art form more successfully than anyone I can think of, with the possible exception of John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon.

Lydon is still pissing off the orthodox to this day, most recently by coming out as a Trump guy.

Oh, well. I'll just have to buy more peppers, and make another batch for freezing.

latest night update is that the winds are going down and the area is cooling and getting humid (though near the coast the place varies from 800 feet above sea level to 2600 or so) and winds have dropped. The evac orders for areas near me have been dropped already and the fire has been kept moving mostly N->S since afternoon rather than into the houses it stared near, or the ones it has threatened to the E . My area is W. With water for the trucks, and for the aircraft they are using the firemen are doing their usual good job.

they may be as a physical thing, but the content inside the pages was dying out quickly even by the late 80s and this was in Chicago.

My 'hood is famous for having a huge population of formerly domestic rabbits all over the damn place. What we need is a handful of foxes and coyotes. But then, that creates a new problem...

The property I live on used to be full of rabbits. Then the two puppies began chasing them, and, as they grew stronger, started eating them left right and center.

Only now is the rabbit population starting to make a comeback.

38 ""Lahaina Noon," is a trippy phenomenon that happens twice a year in Hawaii, where all objects lose their shadows."

Ummm...that's how Eratosthenes calculated the Earth's diameter, as far back as 240BC. heheard that there was a well in egypt where the sun hit to bottom (i.e. no shadows) on a certain day if the year. Compared that to a stick stuck in the ground a couple hundred miles away on the same day, and using proto-trigonmetery, very accurately calcualtred the Earth's circumference and diameter.

C. 1995 some of it was actually quite economical.
Go to local travel agency in person and get books of inter-island airlines ticket vouchers for $15-$20 each way. Book hotel at baggage claim (unused time shares for about $40 a night).

Buying fresh veggies by the pound did shock me, but they have high transport cost. Two Whoppers for $2 still a thing. I used to joke about the Whoper being a salad Burger. In Hawaii you'd get the same bun and patty but just a sorry ass tomato slice that could be from a cherry tomato, a piece of brownish lettuce, and a couple pieces of onion. But the local One Choi / Two Choi plate lunches were a good value. And the really out of the way local plate lunch places had Hawaiian sized servings.

It's been 2 months and nobody is dying right now. Meanwhile Iran is imploding and the entire structure of the Middle East is changing for the better. China is hurting and new alliances are being created.

Remember what happened after the US crushed Iraq in a long weekend? ISIS happened. Winning the war is one thing and the military has shown pretty decisively if allowed they can blow Iran to oblivion with little resistance. Trump obviously is looking at a wider strategy. Who knows exactly what, Trump likes to operate in confusion and uncertainty but he has a pretty good track record and I trust his judgement. He's earned it.

It seems pretty obvious that if Trump let the military off the leash they could blow Iran to pieces with little resistance. But he hasn't, not yet anyway.

So he must have a reason. He's not going to tell anyone, he says all the time he isn't going to reveal his plans for obvious reasons. With previous people who have sat in that chair I'd be concerned because most of them I knew would do something stupid. I have more confidence that Trump won't.

147 It's been 2 months and nobody is dying right now. Meanwhile Iran is imploding and the entire structure of the Middle East is changing for the better. China is hurting and new alliances are being created.

Remember what happened after the US crushed Iraq in a long weekend? ISIS happened. Winning the war is one thing and the military has shown pretty decisively if allowed they can blow Iran to oblivion with little resistance. Trump obviously is looking at a wider strategy. Who knows exactly what, Trump likes to operate in confusion and uncertainty but he has a pretty good track record and I trust his judgement. He's earned it.

The voting public's vulnerability isn't just the body bags. It's the constant drumbeat of "nothing's happening, but it could easily get worse for us at any moment" the media feeds much of them. Sanctions/blockades take a very long time to have any real effect on a nation's decision makers, so we're not talking about the two months that it has been, but the years down the road this will take.

I'm sure the President appreciates your faith, but the truth of the matter is that he clearly hasn't killed enough of the IRGC to really get their attention yet.

186 Regarding that "Lahaina Noon," phenomena, that happens everywhere in the tropics (its related to how we define 'the tropics') just on different days at different latitudes. There are some archeologists/historians who think that certain Meso-American cities were founded specifically so those cities would have a "Lahaina Noon" on a religiously-significant date.

I'm not saying I know better. I'm saying "Bridge and Power Plant Day" was his idea. When I heard him say it, I said "now we're talking," because it's an excellent idea, and he should execute it.

It will end our Iran problem, it will put the Chinese' little yellow dicks in a real wringer, and utterly devastating a once-powerful enemy will scare the living daylights out of every foreign devil on this cursed Earth.

Yes, "tropic" comes from the Ancient Greek Homo meaning "turning point". The top one is the Tropic of Cancer and then southern point is the Tropic of Capricorn.

In those ancient Greek Homo days, the north turning point occurred with the Sun in Cancer. Due to precession since then, that occurs in Gemini at present.

2.1 is required to maintain population. At best, China has 0.7.

If China has a population of 1.2 billion, the Chinese population is 300 million in 50 years.

It's probably no more than 700,00,000 right now.

Any problems we have with having babies is nothing compared to China's problems with it.

China needs to be contained for a generation until it can be ignored completely. 30 years, tops.

Then throw in all the common crooks and thugs who just want a license to do their thing.

Black dead ringer for Malcolm X Steve Cohen announces he won't be running in the new antigerrymandered Tennessee 9th district.

He's retiring to spend more time with his Bucket Chicken.

Cohen said he was retiring from Congress and public life, "This is by far the most difficult moment I've had as an elected official," he said. He claimed the people "wanted me again."

Cohen said he "considered" running in one of the newly-drawn districts, but he said they are "nothing like the ninth district that I've represented."

But even in that, he couldn't make a simple statement without throwing a bit of a fit.


He said he won't run for reelection in his district, with a caveat: "If the courts will give two more years to that district ... I will run for that office."

"I don't want to quit. I'm not a quitter. But these districts were drawn to beat me."

Translation? He knows he wouldn't win.

Also, that Justin X manlet says he's running.

Why do old liberal cows all think they can dance?

Jonathan Lemire, a leftwing propagandist and frequent panelist on Morning Joe, says that Trump now needs to face the same scrutiny about his age that Joe Biden did.

Note that Jonathan Lemire blocked that scrutiny of Biden every step of the way.

A liberal New York judge has, of course, excluded key evidence against the left's Cassanova Killer Luigi Mangione. But the gun and the diary -- the most important evidence -- remains in.

Fox:

A New York judge has ruled that some key evidence seized from Luigi Mangione's backpack during his arrest at a Pennsylvania McDonald's is inadmissible at trial, while some of it can still be shown to jurors, including the suspected murder weapon.

Judge Gregory Carro's written ruling was posted online ahead of a hearing Monday morning. He agreed with the defense argument that a search of Mangione's backpack at McDonald's was unconstitutional because it had been moved away from arm's reach, however, he found that a subsequent search of the bag at the police station was lawful. During that search, an officer found the handgun allegedly used in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50.

He also found that most of Mangione's statements to police in Pennsylvania would be admissible, except for some made about his alleged fake ID after police read him his Miranda warning.

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

🚨 NOW: The judge has just ruled IN FAVOR of assassin Luigi Mangione by SUPPRESSING evidence the cops found inside his backpack

Utter madness.

The jury will NOT learn about:
- Bullet magazine
- Cellphone
- Passport
- Wallet
- Computer chip

TOTALLY OMITTED from the jury.

The judge says the Mangione was ILLEGALLY searched because they took his bag after the shooting without a warrant.

The gun and diary will still be allowed in trial evidence.

Mamdani gave press passes to a couple of antifa-aligned "reporters" who announced, in their "reporting" on the Mangione hearing, that Brian Thompson deserved to be murdered and his children were better off without him.

Molly Crane-Newman
@molcranenewman

"I'm saying fuck Brian Thompson. I don't give a flying fuck he died," says Ashley Rojas, wearing her press badge provided by @NYCMayorsOffice. Lena Weissbrot adds that Thompson's teenage sons "are better off without him" and should "enjoy the blood money."


Whoops: I got this one backwards. Dana Loesch tried to book Tom "Pinecone" Massie but he seems butthurt.

Nice work, Mayor Karen: wildfires break out in southern California again.

Still not clearing that brush, huh?

Unfortunately, on Monday, a fast-moving wildfire broke out in Simi Valley, a Ventura County city about 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Over 200 acres have caught on fire and evacuations have been ordered. The images coming out are disturbing.


A Variety "reporter" attacked Spencer Pratt for "living in Santa Barbara."

With his parents.

Omitted from this statement: When Karen Bass burned down his house, he became homeless, and moved in with his parents. He has children, you know.

Marlow Stern
@MarlowNYC

he... lives in santa barbara

Pratt responded:


My house burned down. I lost everything. I can't rebuild. As a 42 year old man with 2 kids, I've had to move into my parents' house, and I'm getting attacked for that? This is journalism? This is why no decent people ever get into politics. This is why you only have goblins running everything. God help you if you try to make things right for your community...if you lose your entire town, "journalists" mock you for not making your kids sleep in the toxic dirt on your burned out lot. Who raised you, dude?


Pratt's trying to get the much-discussed, little-observed "Preference Cascade" going by letting Karens know that other Karens are secretly voting for him:

It is possible the cop fucked up at the McDonalds. Warrantless searches are limited to specific sets of circumstances for a reason. If they didn't have separate probable cause to search the bag it's illegal if he wasn't under arrest. After a lawful arrest you can make an inventory search of someone's possessions incident to that arrest. I don't have all the fine details but the cop may very well have jumped the gun and weakened the case as a result. They seem to have piss-poor training on permissible searches under the 4th Amendment as a general matter.

111 Early on in the space program the first astronaut candidates selected were sent to the Lovelace medical clinic, a private firm. Since they didn’t know what to test for, they tried everything they could think of. Sperm count “here fill this bottle”. Enemas, given algebraic equations to finish while feet are immersed in a bucket of ice water. Crazy shit.

. You want to be an astronaut right? Pete Conrad got tired of submitting a stool sample every day, and submitted his all wrapped up in a red bow. They were not amused and he didn’t make the grade for the original 7 Mercury group.

“Not Suitable For Long Duration Space Flight” they said.

Another time they showed him a blank piece of paper, part of the Rorschach testing. He looked at it, flipped it around and handed it back to the guy. “It’s upside down”. The tech kind of flinched. They didn’t like that either. Ole Pete made group 2 though.

Thank you. I have no idea what is going on and will watch Tulsi tonight.

This week has been like one of those toy boxing guys where you get hit and spring back for another hit infinity. My husband tells me something and I say, "Wow" or "ok."

This house is very big. So part of the basement being blocked off with plastic and dehumidified after mold treatment is meh to me. Although we have to wash dishes in the half bathroom sink or use paper plates and cups. Life goes marching on.

We will be going to NOLA and to see my 95yr old mother on Saturday should we survive til then. She knows nothing as we try to keep her from worrying.
She has not yet met her newest great-granddaughter and we are all going. Storms keep knocking out power on the farm and generators are going, so it should be a ton of fun!

I don't worry much to start with but maybe I should now? Eh? Supposed to rain all weekend and grands will go nuts.

All I care about is my birthday dinner at Galatoire's in NOLA the night before we fly back here. This may not be normal.

Thanks. I am 100% better since Friday, just tired and no appetite. Plus no concept of time or date. I did autoclave the bathroom yesterday.

The no appetite is a good thing (I guess). I would not recommend this for weight loss, however, unless you like colonoscopy preps. Homos probably do like Startled Starmer...

JD Vance, Pete Hegseth Blast Flakey Fetish Weirdo Tom "Pinecone" Massie In Last Push in Primary Election

But before that the positive case for Ed Gallrein, SEAL and farmer, and the next congressman for Kentucky District 4.


This contest between Massie and Gallrein marks the first time that the incumbent congressman has faced a one-on-one primary.

There is no doubt that this is his toughest race. Voters here have said they've moved away from him, not because of his quarreling with Trump, but because he's made it about himself, not them.

In contrast, Gallrein, a multigeneration Kentuckian with decades of service in the U.S. military, is a relative newcomer to politics. He ran once in a crowded primary race for state senate in 2024, ultimately losing by just a smidge more than 100 votes.

Gallrein spent time away from Kentucky while he was in the military, but it didn't take Kentucky out of him. His drawl is rich and deliberate, and his manners are impeccable. He retired 12 years ago and went right back to getting a little soil under his nails. His family also runs a popular destination farm in Shelby County, in the western stretch of the 4th Congressional District.

In our interview, Gallrein said that he grew up on the family dairy farm, "Which is a contact sport, and for five generations we've been farming in Kentucky for over a hundred years down on the river bottoms," he said.

His military bearing hasn't left him either. When he speaks, he commands the room, which draws the attention of voters interested in learning something new, as he did Thursday night at a GOP dinner in Kenton County.

Gallrein stepped up to the podium. And after connecting with voters over football rivalries, he got right to the point. A call to service led him to join the military, but also to farming and running for Congress.

"President Reagan inspired me to serve in 1983. There were no books or movies [on the SEALs] when I signed up for the SEALs from the farm field in Kentucky. So I left Kentucky and chose the hardest path I could to serve our nation because I had the audacity to think I could make a difference," he said.

Gallrein, who rose to become a Navy SEAL officer and had a career that spanned three decades, said, "I served this nation leading missions around the world on seven different SEAL teams, including multiple times on SEAL Team Six, earning four bronze stars."

Gallrein told the Washington Examiner that when his military service ended, he proudly came home to Kentucky. "Back to the farm, back to my family, back to serving veterans, and I thought my time was over."

That was until Trump reached out to Gallrein last fall to come to the White House for a visit.

"Thirty minutes into that conversation on Oct. 17, President Trump said, 'Ed, I don't have two consecutive terms like President Reagan to enact the agenda that I was overwhelmingly elected to deliver. Every year matters, every month matters, every week matters, every day matters. And every vote in the Congress and Senate matters.'"

Gallrein said that Trump told him, "You need to serve our nation again."

"Then it hit me hard," Gallrein said. "Because I'd already lived a life of sacred obligation as a career SEAL officer, leading troops all around the world. Some who didn't come home. They gave their all."

So Gallrein went home, fed the livestock that night, talked with his family, prayed on it, went to church, and made the same decision he made in 1983 when President Ronald Reagan inspired him. "Duty, honor, country. If not me, who? If not now, when?"


Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

🚨 NOW: SecWar Pete Hegseth goes HARD against Rep. Thomas Massie while campaigning in Kentucky

"At some point, being against everything becomes an excuse for accomplishing NOTHING."

"At some point, constant obstruction is not leadership, it's just commentary. It's obstruction."

"President Trump does not need more people in Washington who are trying to make a point, especially from his own party."

"He needs people willing to help him win, to vote with him when it matters the most. And too often, Massie is acting like his job is to stand apart from the movement that President Trump leads instead of strengthening it."

"When President Trump needs backup, Massie wants to debate process."

"When the movement needs unity, especially at the biggest moments, Massie's willing to vote with Democrats."

"When conservatives are fighting the most radical left in American history, too often Massie's instinct is to throw elbows at fellow Republicans instead of the people who are destroying our country or want to destroy our country."

"Understand that in the middle of a fight, you don't weaken your own side, you advance to the objective. And that's what Ed Gallrein understands."



This criticism by Vance is from a TPUSA event in the past, but it's being recirculated now.


"Voting against the party on every single issue. You're eventually going to make too many enemies. It's not one issue or 3 issues it's every single issue. Every time we've needed Thomas for a vote he has been unwilling to provide it"

"When you always vote against the party, you can't expect the party to back you"

The Republican Party is President Trump's party. Massie must go.




Last week, Kurt Schlichter summed up weird sex asshole Massie.

Next week, the people of the 4th Congressional District of Kentucky have a chance to punt that useless poser Thomas Massie through the goalposts of failure. Let's hope they do. This ridiculous clown was merely a tiresome curiosity when the Republicans had a decent margin in the House, but then, he found himself with a little bit of heat because of the current small margin. And he made the best of it, through shameless lies and cringe-worthy self-promotion, going from marginal mediocrity to an active abscess on the buttocks of the party. It's time to lance that boil.

Libertarians are useless at best, and it's worse when they are active co-conspirators with the Democrats. There's this idea that libertarians are actually Republicans who simply like dope, but that's not so. They're like that mythical creature we used to hear about in the '90s, the fiscally conservative but socially liberal voter who inevitably voted however the Democrats wanted. And that's what Massie does, though he tries to cloak it in the garments of principle. It's unclear whether he's ever actually passed any legislation of his own, though he's always eager to propose bills; he's unable to get anyone to join him. That's because everybody hates him. That's because he's a jerk.

Before his wife sadly died young a couple of years ago, he was content to be a fringe weirdo with bad hair and no heat. Once she tragically passed away, he visited a hairstylist, married a leftist staffer 20 years his junior, and decided he needed to broaden his horizons, which meant helping the Democrats and shafting the GOP more openly than before. And perhaps he became a player, too, at least according to a woman who said he tried to pay her 60 grand to shut up about their kinky affair. I don't know if that is true or not, and I kind of doubt it for several reasons including that the idea of a schlub like Thomas Massie scoring is so inherently unbelievable. Still, the story is out there. The primary voters of the Kentucky 4th can decide whether this current scandal matters, but there are plenty of reasons to dump this loser besides unproven claims about his inability to satisfy a woman.

You know, like being the ringmaster for the whole Epstein circus.

The Epstein affair, which rapidly became an idiotic moral panic and an IQ test that far too many people failed, was this guy's claim to fame. Suddenly, this nobody was somebody, appearing on all the regime shows and getting a bunch of press because of his courageous and principled stand. Just kidding. Principles had nothing to do with it. It was his willingness to attack fellow Republicans over the shakiest of shaky allegations. He didn't care who he hurt with his lies. You'll notice above that I carefully set forth that the claims against Massie himself are unproven and merely allegations. That's because I'm not a scumbag who makes unqualified accusations against people when I don't have proof that I find compelling. But Massie had no such compunctions. He was perfectly willing to go out and essentially argue that Donald Trump was the head of a pervert ring and claim that a whole bunch of other people were part of it, and that he had that information, and he was going to see the truth come out. And where is this truth? Nowhere. Nada. A big nothing. He didn't expose anyone because it was all crap. It was all a lie. And he didn't care.

And he still doesn't care that he lies. Donald Trump wants to get rid of this dork and has endorsed Ed Gallrein in the primary. I've had a chance to interview Ed, and he's a solid guy, a straightforward and strait-laced conservative who loves his country. Massie talks about how he's principled and patriotic -- he went on Tucker, who has gone insane, and Tucker claimed that this primary election will show whether a candidate who loves America can win. And it will, but not the way Tucker meant. Ed was a Navy SEAL captain, and he showed his love for America by fighting for it rather than posing for the cameras like Massie did back when the Epstein thing was useful and the regime media still paid attention to him.

"Pinecone"?

When you see people defending Massie passionately and wonder "But how could this weird vain loser nonentity provoke such passion?," the answer is: Because his passionate defenders know what his real agenda is.

Joel Mowbray
@joelmowbray

🚨 EXCLUSIVE
Thomas Massie superfan -- and campaign supporter -- Ryan Matta is a full-blown Holocaust denier.

Among other claims, Matta (who wore "American Reich" gear in photo with Massie) says Auschwitz did NOT have gas chambers, but rather SHOWERS to clean "dirty" Jews, whom he called "disgusting people" who don't shower and thus were "covered in... demonic, gross things."

Matta has created numerous videos purporting to "expose" the "Holo-hoax" and discuss the "JQ."

In short, these conspiracy theory videos are so central to Matta's online persona that anyone familiar with him knows that he's one of the biggest Holocaust deniers on social media.

Given how popular he is in Massie-supporting circles -- Matta is quite friendly on X with Tucker Carlson's brother Buckley, for example -- it is inconceivable that the campaign (or even Massie himself) was unaware of Matta's overtly pro-Hitler views.

Nor does Matta hide that, of course.

He was wearing an "American Reich" hoodie in various pro-Massie social media videos in recent days.

And though candidates take many photos with lots of people, Massie knows how popular he is with anti-Semites, yet he had no qualms taking a photo with someone who stamped himself as "American Reich."

Unless Massie immediately apologizes for associating with Matta and prohibits him from campaign events, then there should be little doubt about the kind of man Massie truly is.

Post here, with video. In the video, this Massie super-fat explains that Nazi concentration camps were actually very clean and provided first rate medical services and that more "J's" (he avoids saying "Jews" for some reason) were born in the Nazi camps than "passed away."

Passed away. They passed away you guys.

I've said it before: Of course not every libertarian is a cryptonazi -- but Nazis have found the "libertarian" flag a convenient Flag of Convenience to fly to hide their actual agenda.

34 If I thought the GOP would hold the House on a razor-thin edge, I would vote for Gallrein. At the end of the day politics is a team sport and there has to be a working team in order to actually accomplish important things.

On the other hand, if I thought the GOP would hold the House with a manageable working majority, I would vote for Massie. We need more voices pushing back against our BigGov-BigTech overlords. The idea that a GOP-controlled House supports the "kill switch" technology letting them disable your car if they decide you are not fit to drive is absolutely infuriating.

And also to demonstrate the quixotic notion that there is at least one single solitary Republican not allied with, bribed by, extorted by, or otherwise controlled by the all-powerful tribalistic Israel Lobby whose compass always points ultimately to what's best for one particular foreign country and its supporters and not grounded in the fundamental principles upon which the USA was founded.

Well, they're fairly new, and they were pretty accurate in the Louisiana Senate primary - they did a poll on the 5th and it was only a couple points off the total.

But the very fact that nobody is polling this race tells you what you need to know.

Normally they'd be throwing polls out and laughing at 'Massie owning the MAGA chuds'. Instead, none of them want to talk about polls and the leftists are all hands on deck trying to simp and drag him across the finish line

I've never heard this particular pejorative before. I'm actually curious where it came from. It has to be modern to involve pringles. Unless it first applied to people that couldn't shit in a coconut or something and it got retconned into a pringles can later.

I honestly think it would be difficult to shit in a pringles can, I mean, I could do it eventually but I'd need a few practice shits. Maybe larger targets and then work down towards a pringles can with ever smaller targets.

But once you can reliably target the can then who knows, a pez dispenser, a sewing thimble, anything's possible at that point.

America is allied with Israel because of common culture values, and for a great many of us, God. They are in fact our only useful ally because they're the only ones that will pull their own weight when there's a fight.

The fact that some politicians listen to voters who understand that rather than your weird fringe niche isn't an indication that they're being bribed or extorted or controlled. It means they agree with the other side of the argument you're trying to create.

Posted by: Ben Had

I say protected.

AI Overview
Muslims are protected in the United States under the law. However, despite these constitutional and federal protections, civil liberties organizations continue to document instances of discrimination and targeted surveillance.

The First Amendment: The U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from establishing a state religion and guarantees the free exercise of all religions. This protects Muslims' rights to hold beliefs, worship, and practice their faith (including wearing religious attire like a hijab) without state interference.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act: This federal law prohibits employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating based on religion in hiring, firing, wages, and promotions. It also requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for religious practices—such as prayer breaks or time off for religious holidays—unless it causes undue hardship to the business.

102 Radical Dems like Maxine Waters & Al Sharpton, who are beholden to corporate landlords, & Trump hating RINOS are teaming up to kill the bipartisan housing bill.

It must stop. It’s time we restore the American dream & ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes.

@DonaldJTrumpJr - 1h

Banning institutional investors from buying single-family homes is a commonsense policy to drive down home prices. Every single Republican in Congress should be supporting it. We can't allow RINOs and Dems in the Swamp to block my fathers America First agenda on housing!!!!

104 I love people with audacity.

I have it, my father had it, my sons and (so far) grands have it. Our 5yr old Girlie #1 has it in ALL CAPS and we love her for this among other things.

With audacity you may still fail, but you bounce quickly back and move on. I have never failed at anything (thinks hard: ok, I fear snakes).

I had audacity to think I could compete out of state in college courses, then be accepted by two hard to get into nursing schools (1 in 400 applicants). I may look like a dumb redneck blonde, but the surprise will be your own. My audacity is genetic and also because people expected me to fail due to simply being where I was from. I had a chip on my shoulder from age six yrs. Get out of my way.

This future leader and US Congressman Gallrein admitted he had it from the farming fields of Kentucky to the SEALS. Fantastic story!

I now want to go to Kentucky and vote illegally for him is how impressed I am.

I will pray for his victory instead over that weirdo perverted ninny.

Pray. It's a simple as that, MORONS. We need him.

I think the people you're talking about wanted it to happen, they just don't want to be associated with all of the deeds the Palis did to achieve it.

Daniel Greenfield made a great point about that in an article today in regards to Dems and their current love of assassinations. They want them to happen but don't want to be associated with it, so they instead claim all the attempts against Trump were staged.

The Vineyard is the centerpiece (and does very well), and they'll let visitors pick their own grapes to be crushed and you come back later and they hook you up with your own wine (where you design the label etc.) Additionally, they offer a certified instructor for horse riding, Pick your own peaches, strawberries, apples, raspberries etc...depending on the season. They even offer bee keeping courses. All this is centered around the vineyard and a restaurant where most of their own produce goes into the dishes.

I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America.

This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide specific licenses as needed. This general license will help stabilize the physical crude market and ensure oil reaches the most energy-vulnerable countries.

It will also help reroute existing supply to countries most in need by reducing China’s ability to stockpile discounted oil.

A Ghanan migrant has repeatedly poured a bucket filled with human piss and shit on to the heads of women and children.

And now he's sexually assaulted two women.

This is hardcore cultural enrichment.

No action is being taken against him because it's Canada.


A homeless deviant who terrorized Toronto with a series of vile poop-bucket attacks in 2019 has been arrested in connection with two alleged sexual assaults, cops said.

Samuel Opoku, 30, a vagrant whose grotesque fecal assaults earned him the nickname "The Pee Pee Poo Poo Man" in a 2024 indie film chronicling the malodorous crime spree, was picked up May 12 and charged with two counts of sexual assault and indecent exposure.

In the first incident May 9, a group of women were walking on the sidewalk when he approached them and made sexual advances toward one of the women, grabbing her forearm.

He then allegedly sexually assaulted her and fled, according to police.

A day later, Opoku followed a woman into a commercial office building and allegedly sexually assaulted her after approaching her from behind before running away again.

...

Court documents confirm the suspect is the same man previously busted for the fecal attacks, according to Toronto Today.

Opoku's earlier flush with the law came after he was arrested for throwing buckets of "liquefied feces" at five random people in Toronto in 2019 in a series of attacks that even turned the stomachs of seasoned police veterans.

"A young girl had a bucket of waste, feces, dumped on her," police Constable David Hopkinson said at the time, according to the Toronto Star. "I don't know what to say, I'm at a loss, this is absolutely disgusting."


One of the attacks happened outside the University of Toronto around midnight, when he dumped a bucket filled with liquid waste all over an unsuspecting woman.

Days later, he entered the school's John P. Robarts library armed with another bucket of excrement, which he poured on two people who were seated at a table.

He attacked five people in the same horrifying manner over four days, including three women, one man and a child, according to CBC.

Opuko was charged with five counts of assault with a weapon and five counts of mischief interfering with property.

His lawyer argued his client was suffering from mental health problems and he was released after just three weeks in custody on $1,000 bail.

He returned to court in December 2019, but the conclusion of his case was not known.

Mental health problems huh?

There's a lot of that going around.

A Muslim with "mental health problems" just rammed his car into eight people in Italy, crushing one woman's legs completely.

He then stabbed someone who attempted to stop him.

Italy: Muslim rams pedestrians, injuring 8, gets out of his car and stabs one person, has 'psychiatric disorders'

Have you ever noticed that the overwhelming preponderance of people who are suffering from psychiatric disorders that make them want to ram people with their cars and then get out and stab some more are Muslims? Isn't that a remarkable coincidence? Could there possibly, just possibly, be another explanation for these repeating occurrences? Or would it be "Islamophobic" to consider that possibility?

Vehicular jihad, meanwhile, is a common jihadi practice. The Islamic State issued this call back in September 2014: "So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European -- especially the spiteful and filthy French -- or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be....If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him...."

So that makes it OK? No harm no foul? Note well the modern, open air insane asylum and “choose your own adventure” public forays, this is decades after emptying the insane asylums.

Added to the problem is a system called "baad" in which, generally after a murder or other violence, a sister and brother from one family are married to a sister and brother from the other family. When cousins from that arrangement marry they're even more genetically similar than usual cousins.

83 First cousin marriage solves the problem of maintaining family wealth in societies that don't create wealth, at the cost of worse genetic health and more insular family clans.

Its solving a problem that Britain didn't have until recently (well, perhaps 2000 years ago).

Modern problems require modern solutions, sure, but primitive problems require primitive solutions and Britain has decided to import enough primitives to bring their society to what it was before Rome came a knocking.

169 Rumors have it, the mosque shooters shot someone and they killed themselves

Al Jazeera

In part, Police said they set up a reunification point for people in the area. The mosque posted on social media that children can be picked up from a nearby church.

After the shooting, the New York Police Department said it is boosting protection for mosques in the city.

“While there is currently no known nexus to NYC or specific threats to NYC houses of worship, out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD is increasing deployments to mosques across the city,” the agency said."

Why has NYC entered the conversation? No idea.

And I have no first-person observed evidence, so I can't comment.

However: Since the "RoP" doesn't get along with anyone, and has three warring sects within itself (so it doesn't even get along with itself), I think it's safe to say that they'll come into conflict.

Unite the Kindom Rally Draws Tens of Thousands

Starmer-aligned police claim that around 60,000 showed up, but I don't believe them. It looks well in excess of 100,000 to me.

Bari Weiss' CBS News still calls it "far right" despite it being mainstream.

To the communist media, "far right" merely means "anti-leftwing extremist."

Police estimated that around 60,000 people attended the "Unite the Kingdom" march, making it one of the largest right-wing mobilizations seen in Britain in recent years, though smaller than a similar Robinson-led rally last September. Robinson is the founder of the nationalist and anti-Islamist English Defence League and is one of the most influential far-right figures in Britain.

Crowds carrying St. George's Cross and Union flags marched through central London chanting "we want Starmer out" and "Christ is King." Some wore red "Make England Great Again" hats, echoing President Trump's Make America Great Again movement.

People cited a range of reasons for attending, but many described feeling ignored by the government and alarmed by the direction of the country.

Christian imagery was highly visible throughout the demonstration. Protesters carried large wooden crosses, waved crucifixes and some dressed as Knights Templar. Chris Wickland, who described himself as a priest from the Confessing Anglican Church, told CBS News he was there "to represent Christianity," adding that "something is disappearing from our culture and from our nation ... and that was Christianity."

Good. I find that right-leaning political movements that are not leavened by Christianity tend to get weird and nasty.

Another man, draped in an Israeli flag, said he wanted to "bring back Judeo-Christian values to this nation." He said he was not Jewish or Israeli, but described himself as a British Protestant who believed Israel had "always been an ally to the United Kingdom."

...

There was also a visible Iranian opposition presence, with some demonstrators waving pre-revolutionary Iranian flags. One Iranian man told CBS News he was there to "stand against all people who want to tear down the country."

Speaking from a stage in Parliament Square, Robinson urged supporters to become politically active ahead of the next general election.

"If we don't send a message in our next election, if you don't register to vote, if you don't get involved, if you don't become activists, we are going to lose our country forever," he told the crowd.

Robinson also praised billionaire Elon Musk for his public support.

"None of this would have happened if it wasn't for one man. Thank you Elon, on behalf of Great Britain," Robinson said, prompting thousands in the crowd to chant "Elon."

It should be noted that the march was "mostly peaceful," and by "Mostly peaceful," I mean nearly 100% peaceful, despite Queer Starmer's attempt to gin up hatred and violence against the marchers, and incite the police to bust skulls. Police were praised for being professional -- perhaps they sense that Queer Starmer is weak and on his way out, and declined his open invitation to beat up his political opponents.

Queer is, reportedly, talking about resigning and claims to want an orderly transition. Frankly I've heard this before. He sounds like the IRGC pitching new "peace plans."

Another Labour MP resigned:

Sky News
@SkyNews

5h

BREAKING: Labour MP Josh Simons has officially resigned from parliament, it has been confirmed.

And another MP demanded Starmer resign:


Daid Shaw
@David90shaw

🚨 BREAKING: The Labour rebellion has officially reached the Red Wall. Hartlepool MP Jonathan Brash just published a brutal open letter demanding Keir Starmer resign and set a strict departure timetable. He warned that pretending everything is fine after the local election wipeout is a total insult to the British public.

Video of the "60,000" marching towards Parliament. Here's a higher view of the march.

Despite Queer Starmer blocking foreign speakers from attending, Nick Shirley managed to get in, somehow.

By the way, leftwing protesters urged the crowd to "Shoot him [Tommy Robinson] in the neck, just like Charlie Kirk!" Despite Queer Starmer's vow to use "the full force of the law" to pound "far-wing extremist hate" into submission, no arrests were made.

Curious!

The current policy in Germany is that no one from any other party will have anything to do with AfD, including any co-sponsoring bills. In one state there was a tragedy in which the Greens put forth a bill to reduce the compliance requirements for some small businesses, with no hope of passing it, and the AfD CO SPONSORED IT AND IT PASSED!

I'm trying to imagine Muslim kids chanting something similar about the Jewish or Christian faiths at a rally in London.

Pro-palestine muslims drove down a Jewish neighbourhood and screamed "Fuck the Jews, rape their daughters".

-
When I was a young deputy DA, I was assigned a careless resulting in death case concerning a young girl running a red light and striking a car containing an elderly couple. She took the stand and on cross-examination, I had three goals: 1) she had only recently begun to drive, 2) she was unfamiliar with the rather complex intersection, and 3) she may have been confused because there were green signs and such all over everywhere. I had just begun to question her when she burst into tears and it was obvious she felt guilty and deeply regretted the accident.

The jury deliberately for several hours and at great volume. (I could hear the yelling but couldn't make out the words.) Eventually they convicted her of careless driving but not resulting in death (which was contrary to reality). I thought I might have been wiser to forego cross entirely.

P.S. I'm so glad I don't have to make decisions affecting the lives of others anymore.

A McDonald’s employee in Massachusetts is now facing criminal charges after a viral video allegedly showed her putting fries in her mouth… then back into a customer’s order.

The incident happened at a McDonald’s on East Main Street in Southbridge.

In the video, the employee is seen grabbing a handful of fries, stuffing them into her mouth, and then dropping them back into the fry box while another worker laughs and records.

“So you want French fries today, right?” she says to the camera.

After the video spread online, both employees involved were fired.

Police and local health officials launched an investigation to determine whether the contaminated food was actually served to a customer and whether anyone may have been affected.

Authorities say the employee, whose name has not been publicly released, is expected to face criminal charges in Dudley District Court.

Police have not yet announced exactly what charges will be filed.

228 Josh Simons has resigned to make way for his pal, Andy Burnham, to get elected in his place and contest the leadership with Starmer.

Typical of the Left to treat voters with such contempt that they think they can just use them as vote cows so they can manipulate the democratic system to gain power.

The miscalcualtions are numerous, firstly, the areas they want to run in voted heavily for Brexit and Burnham wants to drag us back into the EU's stagnant, bureaucratic oligarchy. Secondly, they believe the problem is entirely with Starmer rather than with what the believe and the fact they are impoverishing the country and destroying what our ancestors left us.

With Two Republicans Leading the California Gubernatorial Primary, Democrats Plot to Change the Rules Mid-Election So That a Democrat Will Be in the Runoff

Wall Street Apes
@WallStreetApes

May 17

HERE WE GO 🚨 California Democrats are making a move to rig the Governor's race

Democrats are putting forth a new ballot initiative to repeal the "Top 2" candidate rule that takes the 2 leading candidates, because the 2 leading candidates are Republicans

"A new ballot initiative has been filed to repeal the state's top-two primary and return it to a party-based primary where voters like you would only vote for candidates in your own registered party"

The man behind this is Steve Maviglio, he's the former communications director for Governor Gray Davis

He's not some random nobody. Steve Maviglio a longtime Democratic insider, he's a top Democrat operative

He filed paperwork with the state to change the rules of the game now that Democrats are losing

Keep in mind, this "Top 2" system is the same system that locked out Republicans for 15 years

But now that it's going to lock Democrats out they're turning to their rigged elections to maintain power and change the rules

🚨California Democrats are advancing a ballot initiative to repeal the Top Two primary system...now that Republicans lead in the Governor's race.

The same rule they long endorsed to sideline conservatives is suddenly unacceptable when it risks their hold on power. Their repeated claims of 'saving democracy' ring hollow. This is a blatant rule change to preserve dominance, nothing more.

A rule thats lasted over 15 years...disgusting hypocrisy exposed.


Newsom essentially admits he's pushing this "break glass in case of emergency" solution.

@LauraPowellEsq
When asked about the possibility of ending up with two Republican candidates for governor and no Democrats, Gavin Newsom responded:

“We all have agencies. We can shape the future… I don’t anticipate this need to be the case, but there is a ‘break the glass scenario.’ There’s many people that have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats were locked out, and we’re going to do everything to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Yeah, thanks for putting all that in place, Sergey [Brin, not to be confused with Brezhnov in this particular case].

He has now been shocked into motion by the encroaching billionaire tax and decamped to scenic Lake Tahoe, from which vantage point he explores what he's done to the rest of us with his free propaganda platform. Word is, he now supports Trump. Yeah, good, but I still hate people like this. I want him to come forward and retract every damn thing he said at that all-hands meeting on the day after Trump's 2016 victory and everything he ever did to destroy freedom and prosperity in California (and everywhere for that matter).

Typically there are many more state reps than federal. So no they do not used the same, but there can be some commonality, just with more state districts adding up to one federal.


But losing state reps, because racial gerrymandering is illegal, means they lose control of the state legislature, and the state legislature draws up the federal districts. So delayed effect, but very important.

Well, depends. The Constitution formally has a guarantee clause that each state has a republican form of government (separation of powers, popularly elected at least in part, etc.). Luther v. Borden sidestepped it as a political question but that simply means that Congress and the President can enforce it.

136 The main long term effect is going to be a shift in the type of politicians.

Right now, the dems attract a lot of loons because their districts are so safe, and so gerrymandered into single issue voters. There is a reason we have people like the somlian idiot, or these low IQ black race mongers. They are representing their district.

Making the districts more divers should reduce that. As I said before, it will also expose those voters to the other side of the arguement. The candidates on both sides will have to make their case. Right now, many blacks are in a plantation in terms of representation - they have one option up and down the ticket, so not debate, no thinking, no hearing the other side.

You don't hear much about the Shelby County v. Holder decision, issued by the U.S. Supreme Court of 2013, it struck down Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as unconstitutional killing preclearance as the emergency clause of the original VRA was deemed past its expiration date. Court has been set on deracializing for a while including higher ed, and now this.

Democrats and black activists are upset as it is a torpedo at the rotten urban districts. You cannot draw rotten boroughs packed with minorities anymore to gain seats.

This will affect even local races on city councils, state legislatures, etc. by denying the reliable tool the left does to get power, suing and having their pet judges award them a slice of political power.

Oil will not dissolve salts. You can oil the shit out of a gun barrel with black powder residue or corrosive powder residue, and it will happily rust.

Ballistol also preserves wood, and leather. So it is great stuff - except it smells bad. Really bad. Like cat piss and vomit, with a hint of licorice

204 to my Texas audience...the first substack I paid for was Merissa Hansen's 'Houston Comical' posts. She must have been paid by Cornyn for her essay late last week. Run, don't walk away from her.

I'm suspicious of substacks now. She seemed solid for well over a year.

Some gals i know have taken to drawing tattoos in pen to see whether they like the look first.

This seems like wisdom.

They would prefer a non hostile Persian government there over what is there now. Not sure what the theatre is going on now but events have shown the Allies are working to a consistent framework. Might be wanting to get that air defense Israel shipped set up before kicking off.

There wasn’t anything to “win” though. Strategic hamlets, sideline Ho Chi Minh, kill off Diem. The Us Army and everyone else performed admirably actually. Best trained and equipped military ever, most likely.

of course there was stuff to win. We'd fought in Burma and all over the Pacific Islands just 20 years earlier so there should have been plenty of institutional knowledge in the forces still.
