Right. Got that. On a balcony. Did they make houses with balconies where you had to step out a window? (They may have, I guess)
I suppose the "window" on the right could be a door, but it is not different enough from the other one.

At least in Nighthawks, you can imagine the door being off to the right, just not in the "shot".
Again, I don't know. Do they make houses with balconies (perhaps meant partially to be "decorative") that have only windows to access them?

The point is the way the two women are enjoying the sunlight. The older woman (mother or grandmother) is relaxed, self-contained and reading. The younger one is on display for people to notice. Her focus is outward, not content with herself. It's subtle as Hopper often is.
It's a small thing but the way the sun illuminates the wall in the room on the left of the scene, showing a spare, uncluttered space, seems to reflect the simpler, content feel of the older woman.

The Morning Report — 7/ 16 /26
Good morning kids. As we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast linked here
as well as in the sidebar and available on the popular outlets noted at the end of this post, the usual suspects on the Left as well as shockingly from DHS chief Markwayne Mullin are in an uproar about ICE agents not only doing their duty in rounding up illegal aliens but in using lethal force to defend their lives from being snuffed out by their quarry. Despite the disgusting naked propaganda campaign to turn not merely lettuce-picking border jumpers but the most violent criminal rapists, murderers, human and drug-traffickers among them into the second coming of Anne Frank resisting the Gestapo. Well, in that light lookie here at what has been revealed about the now justifiably (to any sane person) ventilated would-be murderer.
Federal authorities found three bags of what they believe to be meth inside the van driven by the Mexican man who was shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Houston last week. An FBI search warrant said investigators found bags containing a “white crystal-like substance” that “is consistent with methamphetamine” inside the vehicle driven by Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.But of course law enforcement officers stopping this bastard was a crime against humanity, eh Democrats? So they've now got a wetback George Floyd to try and shove in our faces. And speaking of Minnesota with the aforementioned in mind:
WASHINGTON – The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement confirming that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested and deported an illegal alien from Laos who had been pardoned by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and his fellow sanctuary politicians despite a prior conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Tou Lue Vang, an illegal alien from Laos, had been convicted in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after he repeatedly assaulted a girl between 2002 and 2004, starting when she was just 10 years old. He once offered his victim $10 to keep quiet about the sexual assaults. When interviewed by police, he tried to justify his actions as “a cultural thing,” and even said that his victim was just as guilty as him and should also be arrested. Following his conviction, a Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration Judge issued Vang a final order of removal on October 31, 2006.Tim Walz who is a credibly suspected P3do himself pardoned this Laotion louse to prevent his ejection from our country. Thank goodness that heinous abuse of power was rejected but how many more of these bastards must we be forced to endure. It would be better that the administration not attempt to kowtow and pander to the Left by accepting their premises about ICE and other law enforcement officers doing their duty and unfortunately having to on occasion use lethal force to defend their lives from vermin foreign and domestic who are tearing us apart from within. So, okay, body cams on ICE agents. Is that going to prevent any future incidents caught on tape from being completely misrepresented by the Dems and their media whore propagandists? Of course not. Just look at what they did with the George Floyd evidence. An autopsy that clearly proved the decomposing Son of the Great Society died not because of what officer Derek Chauvin did in restraining him but because of a weak heart and the ingestion of his drug stash. This garbage has to end because if it doesn't one day it will end us. And on that note, I give you this revolting development:
We’re not too surprised that 51% of liberals say they’re “willing to pay higher taxes to support more social programs.” (Although the number should be 100%.) But why do 30% of Republicans feel this way? And why in the world would more than one in five “conservatives” say they’d pay higher taxes for more services? It gets worse. The poll also asked whether respondents “believe the government should own key industries such as healthcare and energy.” Incredibly, 43% of Republicans agree, as do 41% of conservatives. That’s barely higher than the share of liberals who want government ownership of key industries.Yeah, I get it polls schmolls and poles are for strippers. But still. Maybe Markwayne Mullin's behavior is reflected here or perhaps it's something else. In any case, it's not good news. Have a good day,
- CIVIL WAR 2.0, LEFTIST PERSECUTIONS, DEMOCRAT PUTSCH, AMERICAN DISSOLUTION
- Even 45% of Republicans back government control or ownership of key industries.

I brought this up in today's Tech News thread. Here's some of my comment:
She was arrested, charged with simple-assault, and released to face trial later. Oops, ICE was already interested in her and detained her upon release. And that's where the current drama with her husband trying to get her released from the Delaney Hall facility in Newark NJ.
Here's the post by Homeland Security on X (via nitter.net) that has the bit of info we were missing yesterday:
https://tinyurl.com/y8bb7sp2
"She entered the United States on April 14, 2024, on a visa set to expire on September 6, 2024. In violation of our nation’s laws, she overstayed her visa and failed to depart."
So: She was probably on a B-2 visa (tourism) with a possible reason of "Visit with friends or relatives". Those have a six month maximum. You must depart the country, checking in with CBP in person to declare that you're leaving so they have a record of it. She didn't. FAFO.

Americans have been under overwhelming propaganda/media assault for decades through the leftist-infected educational system and leftist-dominated media.
Where, on the other hand, has been any counter-propaganda or education campaign on Capitalism and the free market, outside of cheap and easy, sloganized campaign rhetoric?
Trump can say Socialism is evil and a new Golden Age is here, but what the hell does that mean to the average civically illiterate American? It's empty rhetoric.
Where has been any attempt to educate young people on civics?
Where has been taught an accurate history of Leftism, Socialism and Communism?
The unchallenged totality of indoctrination, misinformation and societal self-loathing has produced the results we see. In fact, it's rather incredible the tilt toward acceptance of Socialism isn't even more pronounced.

For one, the past two generations have at least the benefit of government school indoctrination—ironically they fail to see that their private and home-school counterparts do substantially better in life.
Part may be perpetual adolescence. The actual costs of living were absorbed by the parent(s) and were "mean" if after all of the expenses and retirement savings there wasn't enough to shower toys and luxuries on their spawn.
Western Arrogance. Refusal to accept Cause & Effect, because (see above) it often requires abstract thinking.

Another is feminization of society, particularly the levers of power and influence.
Women, generally speaking, a wired to default to Toddler Ethics: Don't hit, don't say mean things, share.
That is why you see criminals not be punished (don't hit), they love the censorship programs and hate people who don't agree 100% with them (don't say mean things) and why socialism isn't challenged because share.
It didn't help during the DEI phase of corporate drift when female sinecures obtained money and power and didn't have to earn any of it. That just validates the idea that I'm automatically entitled to good things, and if bad things happen its because of breaking the Toddler Ethics.

With all of that, plus the importation of 10s of millions of non-American born citizens, not to mention illegals, the founding ideas of this country, what make us so great, why we are/were different from anywhere else, has been purposefully painted over with the blackest of paint, leaving nearly everyone left an utter imbecile.
I guess the only thing that is somewhat soothing is that, if these ideas truly were what the people are clamoring for, why do Democrats have to lie about what they're going to do and will do if given the opportunity? The ideas don't sell well. It seems quite incongruent with polls like these.

Incredibly, 43% of Republicans agree, as do 41% of conservatives. That’s barely higher than the share of liberals who want government ownership of key industries.
I had this conversation the other day with a friend.
At some point, conservatives must draw a line at which their allegiance to humanity trumps their allegiance to capitalism.
We could have privatized fire departments which stand outside your home and negotiate the price of extinguishing the fire as your family, pets and memories burn, but we don't.
We could privatize the military and determine what the price is to defend your town when Chinks or Towelheads invade, but we don't.
But we do force individuals to negotiate the price of staying alive when it comes to cancer treatment or heart attacks. This just seems inhuman.
I don't know where the line is between completely socializing medical treatment and laissez faire capitalist health care, but in my mind it's an essential service that is every bit as necessary to national security as giving missiles to Ukraine.

Three simple reforms requested by President Trump would go far to reform the cost of health care.

Historically, you paid for Fire “Insurance”. Rural Fire departments still work this way.
They don’t negotiate anything if your house is on fire, it’s too late. Insurance is something you have to purchase ahead of time. That’s the whole idea

Well, that is barely true. They don't stand outside your house and negotiate while you are in need of service.
Rural Metro Fire, for examples, is a private fire protection company that is funded through membership dues, based on property size, assessed value, risk, etc. If you are cooking meth, you probably will be more likely to need their services, yet your lab isn't worth more than a few dollars.
If you aren't a member, you will have to pay for the full cost of extinguishing the fire—the same way that you are expected to pay the full cost of replacing your car if uninsured and total it.

Under the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), hospitals that accept Medicare funding (nearly all U.S. hospitals) are legally required to provide a medical screening examination and stabilizing treatment for any emergency medical condition, regardless of the patient's ability to pay or insurance status.
That's not enough?
I guess we could go the European route and you get free everything, eventually, provided the American public pays enough for it. Of course, pretty much all other aspects of government spending will have to go away to cover that. And we'll have to import tens of millions of 'migrants' to try and keep the economy afloat while we're trying to pay for it.
Or... we could encourage people to get healthy instead of taking $1000 in pharma every month and we could accept that some things cannot be afforded by me. But no, always it's "everyone else has to work for MY benefit".

Are you not aware that medical care started becoming much more expensive as the government inserted itself into the process via Medicare, Obamacare and other regulations? When I was growing up my mom took us to the local town doc (who everyone knew and loved) and she paid cash (no insurance!) and we got excellent medical care. Catastrophic insurance policies existed for major hospitalizations etc so no one went bankrupt when they faced a medical issue. That same doctor would sometimes not charge anything if he knew our family finances were tight at the time… and he was one of the more affluent members of the community. Government stayed out and it was much better. Now go to a doc with sniffles and you MUST show your insurance card. Thanks government

Wouldn’t you agree?
I understand your point.
Should foreign nations that count on American military intervention pay American for Military Invasion Insurance ahead of time?
Or do we sometimes do things just because they are morally proper?
Why is it more morally proper to intervene in the case of a genocide of foreign citizens, but not intervene in the case of saving the case of an American child with leukemia?
Or, if you prefer, why is it more important to national security to defend the government of a foreign nation than to support the lives of your own fighting force/production force domestically?

One; the polls are commissioned by people who have a vested interest in pushing socialism. IOW, they're rigged horseshit.
Two; every politician must be thinking how much more grift they can make by implementing some form of socialism.
There are a whole lot of stupid people out there and hundreds of thousands of politicos and their hangers on that would just love some sweet, sweet socialism.
Because they think they'll be the ones to benefit. In another two or three years they oughta' ask some folks in NYC if they think socialism is all it's cracked up to be.

But enslaving people to make sure that you receive the medical care you feel entitled to is not inhuman.
Prosperity is a weird thing. In Romans 1, the Apostle starts off before describing the Road to Reprobation by stating "And They Were Not Grateful".
Our troll, ZoomerCon, has zero understanding that the historical Norm for billions of people over all cultures and all times is hard, cruel and short life. The poorest of the poor in this country have access to things Emperors, Kings and Pharaohs wish they could have had—yet are ungrateful.
You could be George Wahington Vanderbilt II (of the Biltmore Estate) and probably the wealthiest man before Elon—and die young due to an appendectomy complication that is easily dealt with today.
But no. I want free shit. The best shit. And Now. Or you are inhuman for denying me this.

During an arrival maneuver, an aircraft flew lower than standard profiles, resulting in a disturbance on the beach that affected civilian chairs and umbrellas.

They always start bitching about “capitalism” after they’ve destroyed a system with years of government meddling and jiggery pokery. Don’t be fooled. It’s a scam.
A lot of people hold Insurance with the same contempt held for trial attorneys and slip and fall lawsuits. Government regulates Insurance to the point of absurdly. It’s OK to be incensed, it’s OK to be justifiably outraged. Just make sure the focus of your ire is directed appropriately. The left expends considerable resources trying to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Or better state: So what is your moral authority and where does it originate?
At least Christians can point to a immutable, transcendent moral and ethical standard and at worst be called a hypocrite for not perfectly obeying it.
But ad hoc "morality" is more fun because it is mutable, situational expedient, negotiable and seasonable, and comes with built-in Indulgences. The whole Carbon Credits scam is an expression of Simony.

You don’t even know what Insurance really is, absent government fuckery.
Insurance is a mutual, voluntary arrangement where members pool their resources to protect against disaster. Catastrophic events that one cannot handle financially.
I don’t have Insurance on my microwave oven. If it dies, it won’t wipe me out. I just buy a new one. I keep my truck insured, because I can’t afford the scratch to buy a new one outright.
I read a story, apparently legitimate, where Obie recounted the tale of his car being totaled in Chicago, and he tried to submit a claim on a liability policy.
People don’t understand what Insurance is, how it works, what they are paying for, what it covers, and what their responsibility is. None of it.
They pay $20 a month and think they won the fucking Lottery if their beater gets hit. And blame “greed” and “capitalism”.

That is complete bullshit.
Insurance reflects risk mitigation. If you don't like your rate, then alter your risk profile. Don't like high insurance rates? Then push your fat pre-diabetic ass away from the Golden Corral buffet desert rack, stop smoking, embrace temperance, quit doing drugs.
Think that has nothing to do with it? Then check out Mutual Benefit societies like Samaritan's that have medical cost sharing between cherry-picked members. Looks like socialism, but is an insurance program that maneuvers around the evil of Obamacare.
Know why their rates are substantially lower? They still have structural overhead and still deal with medical facilities, but they don't cover high-risk people like drug users and those who are chronic psychological clients, or those with crappy health-lifestyle (morbid obese, alcoholic, etc.)
Obamacare says: Live like a gluttonous, self-abusing libertine and we will cover the profoundly expensive costs of maintaining your stupid life.

Remember when their was a debate about putting body cams on regular cops the left was for it - they believed it would show massive bad behavior by cops and especially racism.
And while there has been an occasional bad apple most police body cam footage has in fact shown the people they are arresting are assholes and escalate confrontations.
So I would be ok with bodycams on ICE, but tie it to something we want like passing SAVE.

Previous bouts of socialist intervention have caused most of our current problems, but politicians constantly claim the problem is we haven't gone socialist enough.
So for example imagine a world where the government has no interaction with healthcare whatsoever. Costs would be a fraction of what they are now. But since EVERYONE talks about "fixing" the problem with more socialism even right leaning pols this is never discussed.

Here in Israel, we had a fantastic abundance of cherries this year on our vacation home tree. Picked them over several weeks at different stages.
The last ones we picked were used by Mrs. BD to make some homemade sweet kirsch (not my cup of bourbon). They're still fermenting in a jar in a dark cool closet.

Sure, but YOU have stated that you prefer both a Christian moral system AND the government taking care of people.
Well... the government taking care of people costs money. That means that YOU want the government to take more of MY money to pay for the things that YOU choose.

But it's not the "Right" as anyone over about 35 thinks of it.
It's "anti-woke." Which isn't a bad thing. Woke is pretty fucking horrible after all. They also appear to be more religious/traditional. Also good. Anti-immigration. Also good.
But... that's about it. They're all socialists. It's almost an inversion of libertarianism. Economically Leftist, and in loooove with big government, but socially Right.
The problem here is intractable for them. If they want this giant government that pays for all their shit, they'll need to make common cause with the Left to build their socialist superstate.
Those people are never going to cede a millimeter of ground on their other issues, and this will all be hashed out during 50 years of rule by my generation, the furthest Left of them all, and the wokest by far.
They'll have to sacrifice everything they else they want for their socialism - and they will. It's a go-nowhere idelogy.
Unless they take power by force and impose their vision, of course. But l don't see that happening from these kids.

Some already wear them. I have no problem with ICE wearing body cams. In fact, I think it would be helpful to us and very bad for the left.
Unless you believe that ICE agents are out of control Nazis as the left insists, the more facts that can be brought to their actions and more importantly the actions of illegals and their supporters the better. The left thrives when the evidence is largely hearsay because they tend to lie a lot. Like always. Visual evidence makes it a lot harder for them and helps expose their lies.

That is going to be true for any regulated industry.
For example, you present to an ER for service. They are going to ask you six questions having absolutely nothing to do with why you are there. Its to determine if you are going to need a sitter in the room because you might be suicidal. If you joke around or answer the question a certain way, the hospital is required to have a trained, licensed and 24/7 in the room sitter just to do nothing more than watch you. If they need to take a leak, they have to bring in someone for the sitter's absence.

Why?
The problem these people are concerned about is that their salaries are not going up as fast of the cost of living. But...this is a backward view.
As the economy gets more efficient costs of living are supposed to go DOWN not up. And a great example of this from one sector is TVs. You can now buy a TV better that was even available 20 years ago for 1/5 the price of the average TV then.
Almost every good and service should have followed this same pattern (if not scale) over the last 20 years. Why haven't they? Government intervention in the economy.

Among them, having children out of wedlock, laying about without a job, child sex changes, abortion clinics, assisted medical suicide, usury, and various other aberrations.

Your question is academic, not rooted in reality.
You will never find pure Christian ethics/morality adoption, and you won't ever find your altruistic socialism.
You get Fallen individuals and the levels of chaos that surround them. There is this meme going about concerning the downright pleasure of growing up in the 1970s. What is left out is the race riots, gas lines, war conscription, leftist terrorism, 20% home mortgage rates.
Why it seems better is that society, for what it compares to today, was largely homogeneous, particularly away from the urban areas which, since Esau killed his brother and formed his own city, has been hell holes in one way or another.
Mutual Aid societies are where neighbors cared for their neighbors who were reluctant for charity, but accepted it and often repaid what was given. That is a mark of a High Trust Society brought to you by Christianity.
Ain't that way now.

Data on school student deaths from school busses are very well examined. There are very few from waiting in the dark to get on the bus.
It is 800 times more dangerous for parents or high school students to drive to school vice ride a school bus.
Simple rules like wait 10 feet away from the bus until the door opens, don't run after the bus as it leaves, or have the driver check all mirrors before leaving stop a lot of potential damage.
Sure there are close calls.
I have a story of one myself, from a student dressed in all black in a very dark neighborhood, on a cloudy night try to run in front of the bus to stop me and get to school. I stopped in time. And we had a one-way discussion on safety all the way to school.

Should Doctors work for Free? That’s what you’re claiming. What other professions should be required to render services without compensation?
Perhaps you are discussing insurance, I'm not.
I merely mentioned that insurance must invariably make the industry more costly on the whole, given the nature that insurance companies must make a profit. It's unavoidable, lest you make insurance a giant Ponzi scheme like Social Security.
I'm discussing whether or not health CARE is a necessary utility no different than a standing military, police force, fire department, EMS service or orherwise.
Certainly we all agree there are massive drawbacks and inefficiencies involved in having government involved, but also must acknowledge it's not a completely free market supply and demand service either.
You'll pay whatever the doctor tells you for your life-extending medication because the demand is inelastic.

Look around the room, much of the differences in homes today over those several generations ago is because of insurance. Homes don't burn down as much as they used to.
Insurance drove aluminum wiring out, cedar roof shakes out, redesigned appliances, electrical and plumbing guidance and structure integrity regulations.
Seat belts in cars and baby seats was purely an insurance move. Want lower rates? Garage the car. Have the expensive lane and brake assist features. Don't smash into things. These are trade-offs made to secure lower insurance.

Generally this is good thing and necessary thing...imagine the classic case of your house burning down. Unlikely to happen but if it does the costs will bankrupt you unless you've paid another company to pick up those costs.

I guess first you have to understand WHY it's scripted. But remember Rush didn't call Washington "Hollywood for ugly people" because he believed they were all speaking off the cuff.
Hunter is contained and controlled. He is performing a service. I wouldn't be surprised if he runs for president in 2028. I have said for some time now the Democrat Primary is going to be a WWF style circus. I think that more now than ever with the "sudden" appearance of the DSA and people like Hunty being given constant airtime. They want their "message" heard and so I expect a lot of attention grabbing "fighting" on the Democrat side.

Donny Two Scoops sounds like a loose cannon sometimes.
He never says anything that can’t be proved 3 ways to Sunday. The “media” still hasn’t figured this out, after ten years or so. They always take the bait. Always.
And start shining a big spotlight on whatever it was they had heretofore been studiously avoiding. It’s quite amusing, really.

Insurance was originally a wealth management tool.
It was better to pay someone to eat the risks rather than chance it and then try to scare up some money when calamity hits.
Then poor people wanted the benefits that wealthy people earned without actually having to work for it. We call that coveting and stealing "socialism" and instead of it being a violation of two of the Ten Commandments, is now a Right and a Virtue.
Of course, the insurance companies likely own the building you work in, are backing the mortgage of your house and invest by the hundreds of billions in things that shed regular income streams.
Your premiums also help make modern life available.

From Washington, A Life by Ron Chernow, George pined for the sister of Sally Fairfax while single. Only after Sally married was there some serious flirtations with her and George.
Once George married Martha, that all ended. They were friends that spent time in the same social circles, without a hint of scandal.

They are brokerages which invest your premiums and use the earnings off of those assets to offset the cost of insuring you.
So yes, I do know what "technically" means.

I've been amused by reading leftwing lists of Trump's "lies".

I think it's a bit of both. To this day there are millions on the left who still believe Russia collusion was real. Largely because they are stupid but also because they live in an echo chamber dominated by the media which to a large degree is nothing more than a PR organization for the left leaning uniparty.
I think Trump wants that stain off him and his supporters some of who suffered greatly both in reputation and career for fighting back. It's bigger than just exposing the corruption in our elections, it's also about exposing the corruption in the media and other organizations who supported it and the vast amount of lies that come out of DC in general.
Plus it gets to stick it to Xi and corrupt elements of our state and federal government that allowed it all to happen.

That's not true. At least some people have, historically, chosen to accept that their day has ended rather than impoverishing their children. Others choose to let go because they're in constant pain, or just tired of fighting a battle they cannot win.
I am having radiation treatment for cancer. Insurance is paying for most of the cost. Insurance whose premiums I paid for 26 years and almost never used. If I didn't have insurance, I'd have paid the price myself, because I've lived a frugal life and have the money - which isn't all that much, considering. If I hadn't had insurance, or the money to self-fund, I don't know how I'd feel about it. I'd prefer to think that I'd accept my fate rather than requiring others to pay my way but you can never know how you'd react until you're faced with the question.

As to the Socialism poll. The organization that conducted it is I&I TIPP which is not a Lefty outfit.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 16, 2026 09:24 AM (x0n13)
Paul tells Timothy that the body of believers should support "widows indeed"—that is, women who are too old to remarry. Yet the widows indeed were expected to perform a reciprocal function within the assembly.
There is no virtue in a government seizing wealth arbitrarily and distributing it as they see fit.
The Scriptures also describe a form of "hilarious giving" where believers, motivated by the Spirit gladly share of their wealth.
This is wildly different than what socialism proposes. It robs those with the ability to share of the responsibility, spiritual atonement and joy in giving and provides to people who often would be told "if a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat" and "a man who doesn't provide for his family is worse than an infidel".
Government is to bear the sword against unjust and wickedness. The Church is to support the edification of the saints and the surrounding community.
Somewhere out of all of that, personal responsibility and movement of the Spirit is the virtue of taking care of the poor and oppressed.

Oh I agree it's mostly about the Save Act and highlighting just how insecure our elections really are but it's an added bonus that he can use his own 2020 election as proof that what he and we have been saying for years is really happening.
I don't expect the left to be swayed. People who believe men can turn into women or at least pretend they believe it don't care about facts. But poll after poll shows people on both side of the aisle want secure elections and this is the clearest evidence we don't have them now.

Incredibly, 43% of Republicans agree, as do 41% of conservatives.

I'm a free market guy but this attitude is not beyond understanding. Looking at the movies and video games, for example, the big producers betray their consumers in favor of woke garbage. There is a temptation to believe if only Big Government knew, they'd do something. That, of course, is bullshit but the problem arises from the betrayal of the producers.

Politically , POTUS absolutely , positively must nail it tonight to motivate the MAGA base. And the MAGA base demands action. EVERYone knows the current system is a disaster. What he is going to DO to fix it is his ultimate mission tonight. Trump’s call to Action tonight could/will be the difference in the mid terms. Simply citing a litany of problems would be disappointing and de-motivating to his all -Important voting base.

And I think that is – it’s just fundamentally wrong that South Carolina just couldn’t elect a woman, and this is the only way that it was done. I think that experience does matter, and while she is a certified optician, and while she has done great work in that field, I don’t think that she should be representing the people of South Carolina in the U.S. Senate. I just don’t believe in that.”

The bottom line: absolutely nobody on either side of the Atlantic cares about the utter bullshit like this.
Some were supportive of Trump, some weren’t, but everyone agreed on one thing: he’s the only politician and commander in chief willing to say things out loud that others only whisper.
The conclusion we all reached is that the media, the academics, and the euro-lib elite are frothing at the mouth about nothing. America is not evil.
The other conclusion: Europe isn’t evil either. But Europe is governed by anti-American ideologues who have dug in their heels on the most unpopular positions their own voters can name.
So I told that someone close to European defense officials: nobody gives two craps about your concerns.
FIFA let us see past your lies. It gave us a clear view straight into the souls of your people.
We’ve got Russia probing, Iran burning, and China knocking at the door. You can join up with us or you can take a hike, but you no longer have the power to lecture us, to call us arrogant, to call us evil.
You lost that power because now we know, unequivocally, that your views do not represent the people you claim to represent.

It's going to be a bunch of paperwork about how vulnerable our election system was but it will have absolutely no proof that the Chinese or anyone else changed vote totals. Unless he wheels out a semi truck full of confiscated ballots that have been doubly-independently verified as fake or fraudulent, its going to get blown off. Hell, even if he does do that, it'll still be blown off. He can say "I have definitive proof that grass is green and water is wet!" and the public will just be like "See Trump lies!!!!!"
There's not going to be any substantial change to any voting laws based on what the President is going to announce tonight.

My ancient HP Laptop finally gave up the ghost. The HD crapped out. I didn't have much on it. I had moved most files over to the other laptop and backed up on external HDs. Anything else that is lost is no real loss. Won't miss it. It was a solid laptop and lasted me over a decade. Probably 12 years old. Lots and lots of use. It came with Win 8 and I had Linux Mint 22.3 on it when it died. Putting Linux on old laptops and WS really helps with stretching out lifespans, especially with Micro$oft gleefully making perfectly good machines obsolete for 'reasons'.

We were discussing the case of Kaitlyn Tracey (Canadian) who decided to slap two minors because they were wearing MAGA and pro-ICE clothing.
She was arrested, charged with simple-assault, and released to face trial later. Oops, ICE was already interested in her and detained her upon release. And that's where the current drama with her husband trying to get her released from the Delaney Hall facility in Newark NJ.
Here's the post by Homeland Security on X (via nitter.net) that has the bit of info we were missing yesterday:
https://tinyurl.com/y8bb7sp2
"She entered the United States on April 14, 2024, on a visa set to expire on September 6, 2024. In violation of our nation’s laws, she overstayed her visa and failed to depart."
So: She was probably on a B-2 visa (tourism) with a possible reason of "Visit with friends or relatives". Those have a six month maximum. You must depart the country, checking in with CBP in person to declare that you're leaving so they have a record of it. She didn't. FAFO.

A Canadian national accused of slapping a teen wearing political clothing at the Jersey Shore has been turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a representative for the local jail told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
Tracey, a Canadian national who entered the U.S. on a passport in 2024, then allegedly struck one of the girls and recorded the confrontation, according to court documents reported by NJ.com.
Tracey’s criminal charges include endangering the welfare of a child and simple assault, according to reports.

Wednesday Night ONT - July 15, 2026 [TRex]

How do you do, fellow kids? Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked. Free refills!
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are discouraged due to the heat. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're here for an argument, please go through the second door on the right and then close the door behind you. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Will reading the content protect you from Taco Bell lettuce explosive diarrhea? Couldn't hurt, right? The ONT is not a miracle worker, so keep your expectations low.A Tyrannosaurus rex fossil billed as one of the world's largest and most complete specimens sold for a record $50.1 million Tuesday. Sotheby's said the 67-million-year-old fossil, nicknamed "Gus," is now the most expensive set of dinosaur bones ever auctioned off, besting the almost $45 million price tag for a nearly complete stegosaurus sold by the same New York auction house in 2024. The previous record holder had been a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton nicknamed "Stan" that sold for nearly $32 million in 2020. The auction house said the mystery winner outbid six other prospective buyers during Tuesday's 10-minute bidding battle.If the buyer is among the Horde, please send me a note. Your secret will be safe with me.

Pophouse Entertainment, the investment firm co-founded by ABBA's Bjorn Ulvaeus, has announced a partnership with legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, acquiring a stake in the publishing and master music rights, and the name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights. Billboard reports that Pophouse has acquired a 50% "stake" in the assets. The deal includes rights to the band's iconic mascot, the ghoulish character "Eddie." However, for the sake of context, Pophouse paid upward of $300 million for a similar deal with Kiss, although the percentage was unclear. The partnership, which has been structured and developed over the last year between Pophouse and the band's co-manager, Andy Taylor, "will enable Iron Maiden to pursue new creative ventures that connect with existing fans as well as bringing their extensive catalogue to new audiences," according to the announcement.Does this mean Iron Maiden concerts will continue for perpetuity with a holographic Bruce Dickinson singing Fear of the Dark with a holographic Eddie?
Police in Ontario are reminding residents not to bring explosives to police stations after an unexploded World War II grenade was turned in at an Ottawa station. The Ontario Provincial Police said a resident brought the grenade to the OPP Detachment in Ottawa on Friday. "The OPP would like to remind the public that if you find such items, please do not transport them to your local police station," OPP East Region wrote on social media. "This could obviously prove extremely dangerous to the person bringing the item and others around." Officials recommended residents instead leave any explosives where they are found and report the location to authorities.Of course, Ontario appears to be on fire at the moment, so maybe grenades have dropped down the priority list since Friday.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly from the Danish National Symphony for the big ONT finish:

You know, I do not think I have ever bought an IKEA brand anything. I remember when I was buying book shelves for the apartment I found one that when put together was so far ahead of the others I had bought in quality and materials that it was plain as day. But I need a lot of books shelves so the cheaper, flimsier ones were the way to go in my mind. So I had one standout.

Tomorrow, Mr. TiFW and I are headed to Minneapolis for a Puzzle Parley weekend - I have been collecting antique wooden jigsaw puzzles fir many years, and the gentleman who restores these puzzles is going to be in attendance. Meeting him has been on my bucket list for several years.
Mr. TiFW will be taking a Scrollsaw Cutting Workshop while we are there - it was my way of sweetening the pot ♥️♥️♥️
While at my dentist's office this morning, I mentioned that we would be in Minneapolis this weekend, and he asked if we had plans to go to The Mall. Well, my ears perked right up - I had forgotten that the Mall of America was in Minneapolis!
I told Mr. TiFW that he can tell our dentist "Thanks a lot" the next time that he sees him....😂😂😂

As predicted:
billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin owns a massive, 150-million-year-old Stegosaurus fossil named "Apex". He purchased it at a Sotheby's auction for a record-breaking $44.6 million.
Rather than keeping it private, Griffin placed the 27-foot-long skeleton on a long-term loan at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where it is currently on public display

I bought a bone-in pork shoulder and made 12 lbs of link sausage out of it. It is actually pretty good, but it is best that I made link sausage because it is a little lean otherwise.
I ground an onion in with the meat and I doubt I soaked the casings long enough because it is a tad bit salty. It is a lot of work, and it would be worse if I smoked it.

I suspect the dogs would be released outside, and the people locked in the schnauzer sized cages. If there's any leftover dog poop, it gets lit next to the cages, to enhance their experience.

Too late in the East, but those of you farther west, do check out the thin crescent Moon near the horizon after sunset. Venus will be up there putting on a bright show as well.
Leo the Lion is right near Venus, and Regulus is between Venus and the Moon.

The problem: dragonflies are slow to grow and they are cannibalistic. So if you put a bunch of them in a small area they'll eat each other instead of the mosquitos

Mosquitoes being largely nocturnal and dragonflies largely diurnal is also a problem.

This lunation will be the Buck Moon, if you go by the common calendar month naming convention. I don't like that and prefer the seasonal convention. Under that, this will be the Sturgeon Moon, the second full Moon of astronomical summer. They will be out of sync until May of next year when the true Blue Moon resets it.
The last lunation was the shortest of the year, and this one will be one hour and 3 minutes longer.

I say "true" Blue Moon, but all this stuff was invented in the early 20th Century by an editor of the Maine Farmer's Almanac. There's no ancient tradition of any sort with it.
But, the seasonal convention does do the most astronomically and logically consistent job of fitting the occasional oddball 13th full Moon in tropical year into thing while respecting the real old traditions.

House passes Daylight Saving Time reform as Trump signals support for ending clock change
"For decades, we have accepted this ritual of springing forward and falling back, even though it disrupts routines, throws off our sleep and creates unnecessary frustration for families across the country," Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., said Tuesday, detailing how the clock changes have disrupted her infant daughter's sleep schedule. "Let's stop asking Americans to reset their clocks every March and November," she continued. "Let's provide some certainty and consistency and a little more sunshine at the end of the day.🤦♂️

As was the case in the early '70s when we tried permanent DST, this will last one winter. The higher latitudes in the western edges of the time zones (looking at you Michigan and Indiana) will have sunrise times as late as 9:30AMish.

The survey also found that 17% of Black Protestants hold a favorable view of Hamas, 8% of Catholics, and 4% of White evangelical Protestants.
Only 26% of Muslim Americans said they view Israelis favorably, compared with 74% of White evangelical Protestants, 55% of Black Protestants, and 51% of Catholics.
The poll also found younger Americans across religious groups are more likely to view Palestinians favorably than Israelis, with favorable attitudes toward Israelis declining among both Republicans and Democrats over the past decade.
Foundation for Defense of Democracies researcher Hussain Abdul-Hussain said the findings resemble polling among Palestinians.

Michigan the whole of it, should be on Central time. I think it was originally, but some Detroit bunch wanted to do the equivalent of well, permanent DST (which didn't exist then, so they shifted one time zone east). There was also a claim of some motivation to be on the same time as NYC, but I don't think that was really the main reason.

I left my Catholic congregation because the pastor was giving a proPalestinian commentary at the end of the service (wasn't part of the homily but still).
Nobody's asked why I left, since. This was over a year ago. They are aware I'm a "Zionist" and that I don't denounce the Talmud (well, any more than the Talmud denounces itself admittedly a low bar).
So I'd put the Hamas-better-than-Israel mark maybe 15%, the priesthood some percentages higher. Not as bad as the Episcopalian priesthood.

At Mach 2, you can "beat the earth's rotation" going westward, and you don't have to be at too high a latitude to do it. If interested you could run the numbers.
Letting Grok do the work, yep the Concorde could beat the earth's rotation, barely, even at the equator.
So, what you could do is just exactly cancel the Erf's rotation at a given latitude, and have local mean time at your exact location hold constant at 12:00 midnight, and be at New Year's instant for the duration of the flight.

Except for one minor detail. The game had to be played, and the IOC insisted it be played, just to make sure Canada deserved it. And...well...they didn't.
Same thing with elections. Polls can go on and on and on all day. Didn't these same polls which confidently predicted Trump's defeat show Carter getting a second term handily over Reagan? OK...but we still had to do one little thing: hold the election anyway, just in case. And...the election was held and the polls were wrong.

The Mountain Time bulge into Oregon is so the folks there can be on Boise time. You have to drive another hundred miles west to get to the next real town in Oregon.
The Pacific Time takeover in the Idaho Pan handle is so those folks can be on Spokane time. Again, it is a hundred mile drive south down a single two lane blacktop road to get to the Boise area.
Of course, there are those who just want to live on Tulsa Time...

I think my mother is going to be fine tonight. Here's my theory on what happened. That anesthesia for the emergency leg surgery just knocked her brain for a loop, causing that insane behavior. This has happened before with her. But we had to do it to save her life.
As crazy as it sounds, that big fall and knock on the head may have been a crude "shock treatment" and knocked her brain out of that crazy loop.

I tell you this. Saturday, right after the fall, the docs and nurses were telling me there wasn't much hope, poor quality of life, and didn't think treatment was viable. I told them to treat her one more day, Sunday.
If I had not done that, she wouldn't have made it. Monday, while still dragging my feet, I was about to well, you know. Dragging my feet and dreading it.
But then that miracle occurred. Always keep that mind. There is always hope, and one more day or two or three can make a difference.

The original, logical notion of time zones was as follows. 15 degrees of longitude is 1 hour of time. Meaning 1 degree is 4 minutes of time.
So, time zones were to be 15 degree wide, centered on every 15 degree meridian, that is +/- 7.5 degrees ib either side. Eastern time is thus centered on 75W, running from 67.5W to 82.5W. Here in SC, that western boundary is somewhere a little east of my own Clempson Cow Collidge.
So, eyeballing that on the map running northward, that's the "proper" western boundary of EST.

Crawling with deranged muslim rapists, and cops that aid and abet them. And, guess what? Argentina is no longer a Peronist shithole. We have gotten smarter, and kinder. We have an offer for you.

To really make that "stopping time" with the Concorde a challenge, I would try to hole Apparent Solar midnight constant. You would have to adjust speed to match the derivative of the equation of time, the true apparent solar day "sped" at that point.
Anyway, keep the sun directly under your local nadir the whole time. You'd have to vary your speed a little to do that to high precision.

This should illustrate a subtle little point about solar time vs uniform or "real time". Solar time, mean or apparent, is actually a count of the Erf's rotations relative to the sun(mean usually) over a meridian of reference.
Insofar as the earth's rate of rotation is constant (it isn't), and the sun's apparent motion (really earth's orbital motion) is constant (it isn't, but mean time averages that out), then it is a proxy for real time.
But it isn't. It's a count of those synodic rotations.

Thinking about the Concorde going west example, which will show how it works easily, consider circumnavigating the globe westward. Assume you're counting days by sunrises and sets?
What happens when you get back to your starting point? Now, do the same eastward. What happens to your calendar date then?

That's exactly what it is, as for atomic time and true uniform time. The second is defined entirely independent of the earth's rotation. It is just chosen to be as close as possible to the earth's rotation reference of about the mid 19th Century.

Okay, if you circumnavigate westward, you lose one day. If you do it east, you gain one day.
When Magellan returned, the local date was one day ahead of the ship's reckoning.
When you make one loop west, you have rotated one less revolution relative to the sun than your starting point. When you go east, you make one more revolution that your starting point.

In the 1970's, when Anchorage was starting to get big from the pipeline, there was an old crusty dude living on his homestead way out the highway, and he very much objected to the stop light the borough had installed near his house. So, he would come out pretty much every night to blow it away with a shotgun. He had lived waaaaaay out of town, but town was creeping up on him, and he didn't like it.
After about three months of this, replacing the light and having it blown away before the wire nuts were set, it suddently stopped, and nobody knows where the old coot went, but he was just plain gone.
I think the city finally took his homestead since he had abandoned it.
Civilization comes slowly to some folks. Not at all to others.

I don't begrudge you an iota of privacy. You may have felt like hiding, you may have not wanted *anyone* to see you the way you were, you may have pushed people away, felt like you were somehow lowered by the illness or your desire to keep your shit yours, but it was your right, and no compassionate soul would consider it anything but your own informed, reasonable and rightful choice.

I'm sorry for what you went through. I don't have huge frame of reference other than a few close people I watched die. One, your same age, got a black wig that was somewhat like her own. And a blonde one for a day and had a laugh inasmuch as she felt like laughing while she was dying. And she didn't wear them much because they itched.
I miss her like the dickens.
My only real sense is what it would have done to my wife at that age, or any age really, especially the white hair coming back, and I know it would have killed her. So I get it to some degree.
Any comment or specifically refutation I make on "ugly" is going to sound twee plus we've never met. So let's call it battered, not ugly. You were battered and bruised. Not ugly. There is a difference.

Now, per AOP's point above, that little circumnavigation day count thing is just an illusion. If you were carrying an accurate clock with you, it would keep accurate true uniform "real" Newtonian time, and you'd see you didn't loose or gain a day.
But guess what? That notion of absolute time, Newtonian time is not really the case. With relativity, you find the notion of what is dubbed "proper time", the actual time experienced by an observer moving through space and time is indeed path dependent. If you and I start out at the same place and time, and then go around different paths through space and then come back together, we'll find our clocks don't agree.
As long as relative velocities are low compared to c, and gravitational fields aren't too strong, time is very close to Newtonian and that difference is very small.
At the level of accuracy we can measure time now, and the level accuracy of high precision solar system ephemerids and navigation, those relativistic effects are very significant.

The current time standard for the Erf is dubbed Terrestrial Time (TT). UTC and all that is something different, but TT is the standard. This is defined as the proper time experienced by a perfect clock at sea level (relativistically, all clocks at sea level share the same gravitational (and centrifugal) potential, and tick at the same relative to TCG, geocentric coordinat time, the time of an observer moving with the earth, but "at infinity" in the sense of the local gravitational potential).
That's a damn mouthful, and is confusing as hell at first blush.
But TT is the time standard. Atomic clocks, adjusted for their elevation, keep this. It's possible to do sanity checks based on other astronomical observations, mainly pulsar tick rates, to keep it as close to the true relativistic ideal of that proper time at sea level.

In the 1970's, when Anchorage was starting to get big from the pipeline, there was an old crusty dude living on his homestead way out the highway, and he very much objected to the stop light the borough had installed near his house. So, he would come out pretty much every night to blow it away with a shotgun. He had lived waaaaaay out of town, but town was creeping up on him, and he didn't like it.
After about three months of this, replacing the light and having it blown away before the wire nuts were set, it suddently stopped, and nobody knows where the old coot went, but he was just plain gone.
I think the city finally took his homestead since he had abandoned it.
Civilization comes slowly to some folks. Not at all to others.

Among other things, this explains how God's prophets work. Time is a property of Creation, and while He may have something like it, He is independent of *our* time. So prophecy isn't predictive in the way we think of it, He can literally see the end from the beginning all at once because He's outside all of it.

Seems like the energy cost per dead mosquito would be way too high. Seems to me that traps, baited with some kind of mosquito attractant, would get more bang for the buck. What about dummy humans, soft plastic bags filled with saline solution, laced with a poison? Mosquito lights, sticks its proboscis through the soft plastic, sucks up some warm salt water laced with poison, takes off, and croaks. Bingo! One female mosquito that never lays her eggs.

I came to the same realization some time ago. It’s another of way of saying that Time is one of the properties of this universe; but this universe is just a four dimensional bubble inside some greater dimensional reality. And that which is external to this universe is not subject to the physical rules of this universe.

The ISS proper clock ticks slightly slower than TT. While it's higher up in the gravitational potential, and thus would be ticking faster, it's moving so fast at LEO orbital speed, the net clock rate is slower.
The ISS looses about 10 ms per year compared to TT.
Now, on the Moon, the gravitational effects dominate, and a clock on the surface of the Moon ticks about 20 ms faster per year than TT.

A single barn swallow can eat up to 850 mosquitoes per day.

Robyn Bailey, project leader at Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s NestWatch, sets the record straight for us: purple martins do not, in fact, regularly eat mosquitoes.
There are several reasons that stat is wrong. As she points out, purple martins are out hunting for food during the day, while mosquitoes emerge during the evening. There isn’t much overlap in their schedules, and it certainly isn’t enough for the birds to eat thousands of them!

The “Irish monks” in Iceland are generally identified as the papar, described in sources as Irish monks/clergy/holy men who lived there before the Norse settlements.
Wikipedia
But there’s no reliable historical record that names any children they had or any mothers of children they might have had—because the sources describing the papar are about religious “holy men”/monks, not family life or descendants.
historyireland.com
So the actionable answer is: we don’t know how many (if any) children the papar had, and we don’t have mothers’ names.

Oh, with all the Moon base and expanded lunar operations talk, they're working on a time standard for the Moon, which they'll call TLC, coordinated lunar time. Or something close.
This won't be like UTC, as there's no plans for time zones and crap on the moon, but something like TT for the Moon. Navigation on and around the Moon, and orbital operations require it.
Using earth based time references is a bit problematic. Better to have a lunar based standard. Atomic clocks on the Moon will keep it.

Here's the way that is likely to work: Just like in AK, we adjusted our time zone to work better with the markets in NY. At one point, part of AK was six hours from NY, so the overlap in working hours was nearly nil. Made business not so easy to do. So, AK shitcanned the four time zones we used to have, and moved it all to one hour from Seattle, so we had at least half a day overlap with the NY markets.
The moon time zone will be similar. If we want to have a working relationship with folks on the moon, we will have to adjust the time zone to work with that, whomever they decide to work with.
It's not like the light/dark issues matter up here. It's light in the summer and dark in the winter. Who cares what sidereal time is if the clock says what it says?

The moon based time standard is about the precise, nanosecond precision level required for lunar PNT, position navigation and timing using the jargon.
Now, what people time will be can be something else.
The ISS just runs on UTC. They schedule themselves on that. Everyone on the ground working with it just has to adjust to that.
On the Moon, I doubt any notion of solar time would ever be used, since a solar day on the Moon is one month long. Two weeks of sun, and two weeks of night. So people time there will probably be like UTC, but with the reference being the lunar time. The drift rate with UTC will be so small it won't matter.

MST3K, Teenagers From Outer Space. As Gramps is walking out of the house, to get the mail I think, he sings "It's the New Zoo Review, coming right at you". Voiced by Tom Servo.

Enlarging the support network for ramped-up natural gas production involves far more than installing and replacing pipes. Systems require stations that maintain the pressure to move gas over hundreds of miles, through processing plants, storage facilities, and metering stations. They also require connections to power plants, factories, export terminals, and local distribution networks.
Industry experts say this infrastructure network must continue modernizing to improve reliability and reduce supply bottlenecks

Our dog Beauregard was smacked in the face as a puppy by a neighbor cat. He did not forget. When he grew up, he knew exactly where the 6 ft. wooden fence was from wherever he was sitting at the time. He always waited until the neighbor cats were on top of the fence and in range, and then he hit that fence doing about 90 mph, cat was immediately in mid-air, and did not survive the landing.
My dad was forever bagging up the cats and delivering them back to the neighbors.
Bobo didn't like cats. Not one little bit.
Mind you, this was the same dog that we, as little kids, could ride on, put our hands in his mouth, and grab his fur, and he would just be happy as a clam.

The Lower 48 is funny about summer wildfires. Up here, we may have as many acres on fire at one time as the size of some of the smaller states, and nobody really cares much unless they come near somebody's house. The taiga is supposed to burn off every few years, to keep healthy. The idea that all fires must be extinguished is poor land management.

"MASCULINITY IS BACK," Says Gay Liberal Media, In Transparent Attempt to Win Back Male Voters Who Aren't Gay or "Trans"
Via Beege Wellborne: Steve Jobs' widow's Vanity Magazine The Atlantic announces "MASCULINITY IS BACK," but only for Democrats pretending to be masculine.
Actually-masculine Republican men, those who aren't just pretending as they run for office, are still Toxic and Ick.Brian Poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. "There's nothing wrong with being masculine," Poindexter told me. It's okay, he said, to be "a manly man." Poindexter's own manliness credentials are fully in order.Yeah I'm sure to a gay media writer he seems super-manly.
... Now Poindexter is running for Congress, trying to flip a Republican-held seat in Ohio with a pitch aimed at a constituency that has abandoned the Democratic Party over the past two decades: men.You can tell this guy is really an advocate for men when he declares there's nothing wrong with the Democrat agenda: They just need to "message" to men better.
The party-wide reckoning that Trump's win spawned has centered in part on why Democrats lost working-class men whose life experiences resemble Poindexter's--and how the party can win them back. In Poindexter's view, Democrats' struggles with men like him owe less to policy than to culture. "It's all vibes," he said."Vibes" is something leftwing women like Kamala Harris talk about. Men talk about actual policies and results. You are kinda gay, dude. You are very effeminate. And you're claiming that the Democrats' Pink Agenda just needs a splash of blue paint to cover it up and it will be "For the Men." You're not proposing actual changes -- just "bluewashing" the Democrat anti-male agenda.
... Critiques such as Poindexter's have gelled into a consensus over the past two years, repeated ad nauseam by starchy senators and governors with an eye toward running for president in 2028. Closing the gender gap now seems to be an official electoral strategy for Democrats. A couple of months ago, I got a call from a party operative who pitched a story on the Democrats' effort to "win back the manosphere."Democrat Party operatives call you to pitch you propaganda stories would be helpful to them? No shit. I never would have guessed.
The operative ran through a list of a half dozen candidates in key House districts who "are engaging culturally in male spaces"--a bit of gobbledygook that I took to mean "manly men," or perhaps "guy's guys," but that also reflects the sort of anthropological distance that points to the depth of the party's problem. After all, an ironworker probably wouldn't describe himself as "engaging culturally in male spaces."No, the whole idea of "spaces" is, get this, something leftwing women babble about. In case you weren't already certain enough of it: The piece admits this is all a political con-job by having their "Masculine Manly-Man" declare that the Democrat Party doesn't need any actual ideas from men to support men and in fact nothing in the Democrat Party agenda is anti-male. It's just perception, man. Like your sex. It's all a construct.
For the most part, Poindexter and the other men Democrats are running this year aren't offering up any new male-centric ideas. That's not what's needed, Poindexter told me. Within the party's agenda, he said, "I can't think of a single piece of legislation that's bad for men." But, he argued, Democrats have hemorrhaged support from men like him--the ones who sweat more than type for a living--because the party has relegated them to the periphery.This is the left-wing, extremely feminine idea of "centering." It's not that men are actually being harmed by anti-male policies, this faggot is arguing -- it's just that we don't feel "centered" and "included" in Democrat Party group-photos. But the propagandist finishes on The Big Takeaway s/he was ordered to really pound home for the masses:
If nothing else, Democrats are embracing their masculinity again, and they'll soon find out whether that's enough to win men back.Oh yeah, they're so masculine now I can't even take it. What is really creepy here is how top-down this disgusting leftwing hive mind operates. Their political commissars say "We have to do something to attract some straight men" and within months, all of their media organs are pumping out the same message. It's like an alien cult. All of their brains are connected by invisible amoeba-tentacles. Meanwhile, at the New York Times, a woman wonders: Why don't men at my workplace hit on me any longer?
Go On, Date Your Co-Workers July 6, 2026This is how they describe the picture running with the article:
Karens are lonely and horny and so they're announcing that men should brave lawsuits and #cancellation to f*** them again. Don't bother, they're bad at sex. They're bad at pretty much everything.
A strangely-shaped paper clip reminiscent of Mickey Mouse's head holds down a piece of metal, studded at its sides; a photo, almost like a postage stamp in shape and resting upon the piece of metal, shows two birds fornicating. A brass, more standard paper clip sits upon the metal, as does, above and off the metal, another. The birds are blue and yellow, the hazy background green fading into orange. All is a metaphor for corporate drudgery interrupted by the subtle eroticism of nature.
Gee, why do you think that is, NYT? Can you offer any kind of explanation? Maybe something to do with a all-consuming moral panic you stoked and profited from?
Last year I developed an office crush. My friends warned me against doing anything about it, typically using a crude metaphor about keeping your eating space clean. Dating people you work with just seems like too much trouble these days. It's not that people aren't attracted to Jack in client relations with the smile lines and overzealous David Lynch obsession; it's that it feels as if the risk outweighs the reward. But a return to office romance could be the solution to the sense many people have that modern dating is broken. Dating apps ask us to consider potential romantic partners not as full human beings with a caffeine addiction and tension-defusing sense of humor but as a set of optimized digital parameters. Only 16 percent of U.S. workers went on a date with a colleague last year, down from about 40 percent in 2009.
Workplace crushes -- a surefire way to inject excitement into office mundanity -- have waned, too, with the share of workers reporting one collapsing from 49 percent in 2024 to just 22 percent in 2025, according to a human resources industry group survey. The decline has been decades in the making. While about one-fifth of adults over 50 said they met their partners at work, just 13 percent of those 18 to 29 said the same. Of course, workplace romance was always fraught, with its legacy of predatory bosses, favoritism and, when things went wrong, career retaliation. Years of sexual harassment training and more watchful human resources departments taught us not to go there. (About a quarter of workers now fear harassment allegations, one industry survey found.) But where else in adulthood except the office would you bond with a potential paramour you share so much of everyday life with?Below, the Masculine Manly-Man running for office as a Democrat that The Atlantic is ordering its readers to get behind.
I’m Brian Poindexter - I’m a union ironworker, and I’m running for Congress because working people's lives keep getting harder and harder while billionaires keep getting richer and richer.

Posted by: Community Notes at July 15, 2026 05:39 PM (PVBkQ)
'Becky' was 'basic' -- which is to say, exhibiting White culture. It was aimed at young and single women, who could be made to feel self-conscious and insecure.
'Karen' was assertive, wanting to speak to your manager. It was aimed at soccer moms and middle-aged women, those with the confidence to stick up for themselves, to flip it on them and use it against them.

What's up with The Atlantic? Has anybody noticed the aggressive PR war the magazine has launched againt the DSA in the last month? - specifically after the recent DSA wins?
I’ve been convinced The Atlantic has consistently been on the conservative end of the Democratic Party. The New York Times isn’t much better.
David Brooks? The David Brooks who once described himself as a "recovering conservative?" Who laundered the Iraq War and defended torture.
David Brooks is truly a professional wrongman. It's remarkable that, for every claim he makes, the opposite is true. That's honestly impressive to be for 0-2854 on takes.
The Atlantic is controlled opposition. They have always been a shit rag.
People want the DSA. Get with it or get out of the way.
They wrote so many hit pieces on Graham Platner. Like one every other day. It seemed excessive at the time. So I guess now they’re taking a victory lap?

For decades the Let had great success with coordinated messaging, especially pre-Internet when it was harder to get alternative info. Teh arrival ofn theinternet broke their "narrative monopolky," but also provioded them with many more tools to brainwadha nd trick the public.
The left has by niowngotten tos used to being able toncome out with some "frame" or "talking" point" that suddenly apears "everywhere" simultaneously that they just assume it will work.
But they overdid it so many times, and proposed such insulting and patently false narratves with ever i creasing fequency that they burned through any credibility they might have had with the piublic.
Now, the avergae person sees these kind of gimmicks, and rolls their eues and says, "Democrats are masculine?Don't make me laugh." And clicks onto the next topic.

Justine Bateman
@JustineBateman
- First comedy and satire was targeted. The elements that keep a society largely in check. - Next was masculinity. Men were shamed as "toxic" for being manly. - Then it was women who complain, and they were labeled "Karens." So if appropriate mockery is out, the most ridiculous concepts actually see the light of day. If men aren't permitted to defend what they know they should, the most harmful and dangerous concepts see the light of day. And when older women are shamed for speak against what they see as wrong, the most outrageous behavior sees the light of day. Comedy, satire, mockery, masculinity, and female wisdom. Restore it all now.
I don't know what that blasphemous little imp's secret is, but he's got one. Don't be fooled by that creepy smile on his creepy face; there's something wrong with James Talarico. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I don't ever want to see his browser history, and I'd sooner have somebody from The Lincoln Project babysit my kid. It's just a vibe, but there are rumors out there, and unfortunately, no one has shared the specifics with me. I don't know exactly what they are, but we have no moral obligation to default to a presumption of normality regarding Democrat Senate candidates this cycle. After all, we just lived through Der Platnerdämmerung. Is it related to his gender ambiguity? He's already famous for apologizing for his white male identity. Well, let's just say we can be pretty confident that Talarico has never beaten up or assaulted one of the many ex-girlfriends he's tried to convince us were his girlfriends. This is because, to the extent they actually ever were his girlfriends, they all look like they can kick his butt. And he looks like he might dig that. Let's call out the pink donkey in the room. There's widespread speculation that the guy is in the closet, and anybody who's lived a few years has known guys in the closet, and well, this dude gives off vibes like he's in the closet. I don't know if he's in the closet. I do know that if he is in the closet, he should have come out and been honest about who he was. If he's lying about that, what else is he lying about?All of my concerns about mentally-ill men obsessed with possessing women's bodies hanging out in women's rooms are instantly dispelled!
Keith Ellison claims straight people use 'gender-affirming care,' calls tax-funded police 'socialism' "Cisgender heterosexual people like myself use gender-affirming care every day and all the time," Ellison said.You can tell he doesn't mean it because Islamist clerics haven't issued a fatwa against him.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has come under a flurry of criticism in recent days after a pair of comments about socialism and so-called "gender-affirming care." In both cases, Ellison was attempting to stretch the meaning of both words. During a June 29 appearance on an LGBT talk show, Ellison discussed "gender-affirming care" and claimed that it is not exclusive to transgender people, saying that "cisgender heterosexual people like myself use gender-affirming care every day and all the time." Ellison explained that he believes a man using erectile dysfunction medication, a woman receiving reconstructive surgery after a double mastectomy, or a woman with hair loss wearing a wig are all practicing "gender-affirming care." ... Speaking to the talk show hosts, the attorney general argued that a double standard exists which penalizes transgender people for seeking out methods to change their appearance. Ellison said he believes this double standard is "bigotry." ... "You call the cops, guess who pays them? Your tax dollars," Ellison said. "Guess what that is? That's socialism, pal! Sorry. You don't contract for your own private police department or fire department or water inspection or public works."

Candace: https://t.co/GaJyJuEKbj pic.twitter.com/CznByFJrC5
Brad PolumboNotice that Candace Owens, just like a psychopathic stalker, cannot stop attempting to associate herself with the object of her obsession, Charlie Kirk. She wants the names "Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk" indelibly linked forever, as if they were married. Psychopaths often do this. Ask John Lennon's assassin about his belief that Lennon had stolen his identity and taken his place. Ben Shapiro has done some of his own mommysleuthing, and has a new theory: Did Candace Owens murdered the man she felt spurned by and was obsessed with, Charlie Kirk? Hey he's just asking questions.
@brad_polumbo Ah, yes, because if Israel wanted to kill Candace Owens, they would definitely call Charlie Kirk on the phone and ask him for permission. Then, once he says no, and they're, of course, bound by that edict, they would stage an elaborate fake assassination of HIM. That's definitely how secret government assassinations work. This level of narcissism and delusion is not even funny anymore.
Cinema Shogun
@CinemaShogun
OMG 😂 Ben Shapiro mimics Candace Owens "investigation" style‼️ He's better at this than she is and unlike her he actually brought receipts. Candace has admitted that she sometimes blacks out for days on end. Goes on entire "vacations" that she doesn't even remember. Could it be possible that Candace "blacked out" for a few days while helping Tyler Robinson plan Charlie Kirk's assassination? She's never once offered to provide the metadata to prove where she was that day. And oddly enough the FBI never even tried to interview Candace so they could get her alibi. It feels like Ben Shapiro is the only one truly investigating this.
And what's up with her gay beard "husband," anyway? Just asking questions.
Nick MatauWe don't know-know but we know.

The Karen trope is not about the role of elder women to instruct and police younger women to teach them propriety. It is much younger, and the role of older family members and mentors in women's life was intentionally eroded by feminism in the 70s or earlier.
The modern Karen is about pseudo moral officiousness of the leftist women let loose in society.

When everyone is getting gender-affirming care, no one is getting gender-affirming care.
Which is to say, when any woman is putting on lipstick or any man is swallowing a Viagra, no illegal alien in prison for murder is getting free breast implants and hormones so he can get transferred to the women's prison.

The kind of female wisdom she may be referring to is the kind that tells kids/teens to knock it off or don’t be foolish. Something like, say, some smarts kids at the park harassing wildlife or teen girls who think it’s cool to get blackout drunk with strangers. The “are you crazy?

well she is right about the original sense of "Karen," which was largely a black thing to make fun of white women who were complaining about the sullen service they were providing.
It was co-opted to mean uptight domineering woke white woman by *the right,* but I don't know if that is anything like the meaning accepted by the majority.

It was an invented trigger word "affirming" and "care" — pretty clear why they hijacked those words. And "gender" can mean anything in today's Heinz 57 sexual orientation playbook.
Its also total nonsense because they keep telling us that "sex" and "gender" are two different things.

The Left line is that slaves were picking cotton 16 hours a day, 365 days a year, and they spent their off time trying to find food and shelter and being whipped and raped.
Anything less than that is counter propaganda and must be stopped. Now they even claim that whites were raising blacks as food (!!!!!!) in the south and regularly ate them.

The Left line is that slaves were picking cotton 16 hours a day, 365 days a year, and they spent their off time trying to find food and shelter and being whipped and raped.
Anything less than that is counter propaganda and must be stopped. Now they even claim that whites were raising blacks as food (!!!!!!) in the south and regularly ate them.
Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at July 15, 2026 05:40 PM (pj2XO)
The closing of the slave trade in 1808 meant that the price of a slave was high, so for most conditions were more tolerable than, say, a Roman mine. In fact it was common for a slave to 'light off' and camp outside the plantation in a swamp or wooded area for a vacation and have food smuggled to him or her by other slaves and stay there for a bit until the owner would pass the word they could come back for small or no punishment.
Real life is more complex than modern 'historians' think.

I got into a fairly intense discussion with an older liberal lady about why "Cake walk" was considered a racist term.
The answer I came up with, after I had a day or so to think about it, was that such activity while not being overtly subservient and fully being culturally cohesive, were still considered by radical black to be signs of being an uncle tom, and culturally accepting the world as it was instead of striving for a new, revolutionary world which would be free of the stain of slavery and culturally open to the new way of doing things that included socialism and communism.
Gone With The Wind is similar, it shows something other than what is presented in Jango or other recent movies about antebellum slavery as being violent as well as being destructive to human dignity.
Slavery, by the way, was not a social condition no matter how hard it was tried to be portrayed as such. Slavery is a legal status and has been since Rome

"Cisgender heterosexual people like myself use gender-affirming care every day and all the time," Ellison said.
Uh...I supply my own gender affirming care. Jumping on a harley, cruising the shore, seeing the chicks in bikinis with their nice round titties, and thanking god I was born male is my idea of gender affirming. If I beep the horn at them, well I just affirmed their gender too. See how that works shithead? It doesn't cost the taxpayer a frigging dime.

The LAX incident I'm aware of was his infamous haircut.
I was on a plane departing LAX, and just before we pushed back from the gate, a 'ground halt' was called. to accomodate AF-1 with the Clintons. What was supposed to be a 20 minute or so delay turned into 3 and 1/2 hours. Clinton had some $400/haircut hairdresser come aboard AF-1 to coif him, and jammed up LAX for an inordinate amount of time.

you can't really call a siege of a fortified town a famine.
They did have some shortfalls - there was a women's bread riot in Richmond once - mostly because transport broke down and, of course, each of the armies they put up was the equivalent of an extra major city plunked down on the landscape with no planning for goods distribution. Not to mention the Union armies scavenging too.

However, work is work and we are all slaves to our need to work. Our need to eat and raise a family. Slavery in all forms mostly provided security and sustenance, and that is not nothing. You can't say that though because it sounds like apologism. Both can be true, it can be inhuman and an insult, and wrong, and also be not nearly so bad a life, especially compared to the sex slavery we see today, or the mind slavery in China, or the brutality of so many war slaves in Africa still.

Interesting- well, Ghislaine’s father was long rumored to be tied to mossad, though never truly proven. Where he is buried leads a little credence to it, and he was Czech Jew. I don’t know it’s outside the realm of possibility Epstein rubbed shoulders with high level government officials from Israel. He did with high level US officials (Clintons, for example).

What Vance said:He described a "literal foreign influence campaign" funded to "tank the very deal that I was pursuing" with Iran. He specifically cited reports (including a Time magazine article) alleging that a former Trump campaign associate was paid by “certain elements within the Israeli government” to mount attacks against him and the negotiations.
aa.com.tr
Vance added that he knows “beyond a shadow of a doubt that there have been people within the Israeli government who are trying to actually shift us away from that policy because they want to continue the military campaign.” He framed this as foreign interference in U.S. foreign policy, emphasized an “America First” stance (“I represent Americans first”
, and told critics pushing the campaign to “go to hell.”

He also noted Israel is “losing the battle” for U.S. public opinion and positioned himself as a “moderate” on the Middle East while defending diplomacy with Iran.

We already know he dealt with ex PM Ehud Barak but the texts released were pathetic where Epstein was trying to assist Barak in dating like I think he did for Lawrence Summers (although Summers was married at the time). We know that Epstein did flounce around with Dem pols past and present including George Mitchell and Bill Richardson among others. Temu Obama had some dealings with Epstein as well.

Also, yes, appearing widely, straight people frequently use "gender-affirming care," though it is more commonly called "hormone replacement therapy" or "cosmetic procedures" in their communities. Because gender affirmation is about aligning your physical body with your gender identity, straight individuals utilize these treatments constantly.
And it compasses a lot, such as Low T therapy, women on estrogen/progesterone, breast augmentation (after a mastectomy), hair transplants, and facial fillers.

A bit of a red flag waving for sure, but a possibility is Vance doesn’t want an ongoing war, and I don’t think we do either. There certainly would be a vested interest by Israel to blow Iran off the map. I also could see where Israel is like, dude, we know these guys and they are not going to negotiate in any honest way. And Vance, still young and green, let’s be honest here, thinking he is going to be able to appeal to them against all odds, I mean his whole life has been against all odds.
Speaking of young and green, this was a very, very clunky way to express himself and that is unusual. But it’s not like Trump is always great here, either. Vance has said before Israel is our greater ally. He needs not forget this.

And exactly where did the road crews find the equipment and materials to pave the roads? Oh. entities with financial stakes in operations that build, sell and support equipment and others in the entire supply chain that provides the finished products once pulling the raw material out of the ground.
And did the construction workers do this under compulsion or were they compensated for their labor?
And how about the right-of-way itself? it once was owned by one or more landholders who (hopefully) were compensated or voluntarily donated the land, releasing title to it so that roads could be constructed.
And what passes over those roads? Vehicles that are titled to individuals and companies.

'Karen' was assertive, wanting to speak to your manager. It was aimed at soccer moms and middle-aged women, with the confidence to stick up for themselves, to flip it on them and use it against them.

UK "Equalities and Human Rights Commission:" People Must Use The Single-Sex Bathrooms for the Gender They Were "Assigned at Birth." Trannies Should Use Gender-Neutral Bathrooms.
This may seem pretty obvious but the left is losing its mind.
Single-sex spaces - such as changing rooms and toilets - must be used on the basis of biological sex, new guidance from the equalities watchdog has confirmed. This means, for instance, that a trans woman - a biological male who identifies as a woman - should not use female toilets or changing rooms, according to the code of practice. The guidance, produced by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and now approved by ministers, makes it clear that transgender people should instead be offered a third or a gender-neutral space. The code states that leaving a trans person without access to any services or facilities would be unlikely to be proportionate and could be discriminatory. The guidance was published on Thursday following the landmark Supreme Court ruling last year that the definition of a woman under the Equality Act should be based on biological sex. The code of practice sets out how associations, businesses and services open to the public should organise their facilities. It covers a wide range of settings from shopping centres and gyms to hospitals and restaurants. The EHRC is planning to publish guidance for employers and staff facilities at a later date.
So you don't want trans-identifying males to feel threatened by the presence of other men when using communal toilets, but you're perfectly happy for women to be subjected to that same uncomfortable experience. Do you not see how illogical your argument is?

1. You're never assigned a "gender". That's a linguistic term for the rules a word follows.
2. You're never assigned a sex. Even if you want to consider XXY and XYY "different sexes" from the two categories that go on birth certificates.
As a part of your first cell coming together, you have a sex. There is no you, without the DNA you have.

I suspect the rate of female trying to be male is VERY low and they still use the women's restroom.
So, it's ONLY a male trying to be female issue. You never hear of a female trying to be male causing trouble in a men's locker room or restroom. Because it does not happen. Because men and women are different.

Sex segregated lavatories emerged because Victorian, ordered, civilized societies desired a special place for women to be protected from men as women's presence in public spaces and workplaces increased.

As for Owen Jones and women using the men's room, a detransitioner on X has rolled his eyes a few times and said men don't give af. Person enters room, performs biological function, leaves. No particular care about who's in there doing same.
It's not like the social ritual in the ladies' room -- adjust underwear, makeup, borrow a tampon, call an Uber to escape a nightmare date, have a quick confab with another girl about some guy in the club, etc.
So calling men in the ladies' room equal to a butch-looking female in the men's room is incorrect.

I find it's a stupid reference to the doctor who fills out the birth certificate. Because it refers to the rare times that a doctor has to do reconstructive surgery on the genitals and then in this instance assigns the sex on the BC.
It's the way that progs want the 0.0001% occurrence to govern how things are definitions.
Yes, some boys with non-functioning dicks were "made into" girls, but in a number of cases, they never were. And children born with "both", have had the doctor *choose* between sexes.

Agreed, this is the worst rollback of LGBT+ rights I've seen over my lifetime, all under labour. Despite them claiming they're pro LGBT, they've harmed our whole community for years to come. I'll absolutely never forget the betrayal.
The clamp down on protesting is the icing on the cake for me. They leave no option but direct action, then simultaneously make it more risky to resist in every way, even writing some of those laws directly off the back of this.
Even if the wheel somehow turns, and cruelty briefly becomes unfashionable again, none of the people responsible for these things, and the things to come over the next decade, will ever face justice.
No doubt in about 15-20 years the then prime minister will offer a half hearted apology in parliament and that will be the end of it
Kier Starmer was a human rights lawyer, but one of the first things he did was declare he wanted to consult on trans rights with a cis woman who wrote wizard stories 20 years ago.

I read a long thread on X by someone who had trained cops for many years. Originally, ANY case of a man in a woman's space -- dressing room, locker room, ladies' room -- was to be considered nefarious. Not just suspicious. The guy is in there for bad purposes, no ifs ands or buts. Over the years, under political pressure and not as the result of any kind of empirical evidence, this has been watered down to virtually nothing.

It's the way that progs want the 0.0001% occurrence to govern how things are definitions.
Yes, some boys with non-functioning dicks were "made into" girls, but in a number of cases, they never were. And children born with "both", have had the doctor *choose* between sexes.
Posted by: Axeman at July 15, 2026 04:33 PM (HcfrK)
MANY years ago, in the somewhat sane beforetimes, I was having a debate on a web forum where I was willing to accept the choice of sex from people who are born with genetic or other birth defects that make them apparently or actually ambiguous.
That .00001% of a compromise was enough for the screeching trans supporter to say: SEE!?!? SEX ISN'T BINARY, SO YOU SHOULD JUST ACCEPT TRANS!!!

Intersex conditions or hermaphroditism are rare AF, and it's both disingenuous and stupid for the LBGTWTFPDF crew to act as if this makes biological sex non-binary. Also, for a really horrific example of a boy raised as a girl, look up David Reimer and John Money. The alphabet people really REALLY don't want to acknowledge this case.

I believe the studies on this -- to the extent they're reliable at all -- is that F2M "transitions" are more common in tween and younger teenage girls, but it's temporary and mostly for attention. They aren't committed to the conversion (although some, like Ellen Page, do go all the way).
I think the M2F trannies are more deranged, more committed, and more dangerous. These people don't cosplay.

Standard Accessible Toilets: These are found in most shopping centers, restaurants, and public venues. Many of these are kept locked to prevent vandalism and require a RADAR Key to open. You can map their locations using the Great British Public Toilet Map.
Changing Places Toilets: These are larger, specialist facilities designed for severely disabled people. They include extra space, adult-sized changing benches, and ceiling hoists. You can use the Changing Places Toilets locator to find these before you travel.
In the absence of separate gender-neutral bathrooms, trans people have sometimes resorted to using accessible (disabled) toilets to avoid confrontation or feeling unsafe in gendered spaces. However, advocates and disability organizations argue that disabled toilets are not an appropriate "catch-all" or "third space" alternative.
A new bathroom battle looms.

Hopefully this is for people who are truly low T and not for those looking to build muscle in the gym. There is a large black market for this in the lifting community and with it comes a huge increases in mood swings and aggression.

But that is totally likely where they get the overgeneralization that we are "assigned a sex at birth (on the certificate)".
The thing about doctors making XYs into "girls", they were girls with off the charts testosterone. Many of them felt that there had been some screwup. Some became sociopaths.
But that's quite different from an XX that "feels" that there is a screw up because it says "Female" on her birth certificate and she really doesn't feel that's accurate.
No, the failures at converting XYs into "girls" shows how much sex chromosomes actually factor into "gender expression".
But that doesn't mean we can wish-cast that it works the other way. And that's what these assholes do.

Nothing about her is male or masculine. Her complex is a bizarre variation on the female "I can fix men" trope. She thinks men should cry more. She thinks men should not be "emotionally shut down", which is a female description of male behavior.
It seems that her main compulsion is that she is going to show men how to be better men: i.e., improve men.
How the fuck did she know that she "felt male", if she didn't resemble the "emotionally shut down" state of most males--which again is a female way of describing men's degree of prioritization of abstractions and structures over just relationships.

No one remembers bad polling nor bad predictions made in Summer when election time comes around in November. And the idea that you can put percentages on these things right now is ridiculous. All of that shit is about plus or minus 20 percentage points in accuracy which means worthless in a 50-50 election.

The model has nothing on actual districts apparently and is using historical data which doesn't work when the districts used have changed. Mid term adjustments to election districts are pretty much unique to this election cycle for House elections--suis generis.
I used to build and use empirical models and his is junk. Cook's is a bit better because they analyze each seat, incumbency, and a number of other variables that are non existent in this one. My guess is a play for mass media coverage is driving this, not accuracy.

Ellen page was sexually assaulted. She would hate me for saying it, but she is textbook “if I am not a female anymore, I can’t be hurt like this again”. She is a tiny, tiny girl. This is how she dealt with trauma and her vulnerability as not just a female, but a very small female. She wasn’t totally tethered to strong mental health to start, and she wasn’t given great care to deal with anything. This is the result. A very, very unhealthy mess of a person.

I don't think the donations are coming---AID is shut down, foreigners are probably getting spooked as ActBlue is under investigation, DNC is doing poorly at raising funds, etc. etc. And the situational variables around this election--unemployment, economic distress, GOP scandals, etc. etc. don't appear to support a blue wave either.
Just one more hyped media junk reporting for factoid crap where people can believe in false percentages of a bad estimating model.
Endogeneity is a thorough pain in the ass to model and you run into it with public opinion models sometimes---knew a guy that spent all his time on LISREL modeling for it (public opinion colleague) and it is not for the faint of heart.

Trump: There's No Way I'm Stopping ICE Traffic Stops Just Because the Left Has Fully Embraced Violence As Its "Political Speech"
The stops are back on (if they were ever off).
President Donald Trump on Wednesday praised the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and disputed reports it would end traffic stops. He said that traffic stops are key to effective enforcement of immigration laws. "We must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.'s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP! Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal's hands. The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won't happen on my watch," Trump said on Truth Social. Several outlets on Tuesday reported that ICE would curtail agents stopping vehicles as part of the federal agency's nationwide deportation operation. The change in policy followed two fatal shootings of motorists involving ICE agents in one week.By the way, the man who was shot and killed while attempting to run down ICE in his vehicle was a Columbian immigrant.
The driver of the vehicle was killed in the incident and was identified as Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a Colombian citizen in his 20s. The Washington Post pointed out that Guerrero "entered the United States via the southern border in September 2023, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement, and received work authorization in May 2025."As I said, this is terrorism and insurrection. The left is asserting a general right to attack its enemies. In Point Pleasant, NJ, a woman slapped two kids for daring to wear MAGA and pro-ICE clothing. The woman is herself a foreigner -- a Canadian.
A leftist Canadian woman allegedly slapped a teen who was wearing President Trump-branded clothing on the Jersey Shore over the Fourth of July weekend -- before she was arrested and detained by immigration officials. Kaitlyn E. Tracey, 33, allegedly recorded herself confronting a group of four girls on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk when she became violent on July 3, according to court documents obtained by NJ.com. Tracey took issue with two of the beachgoers -- who are minors -- wearing "patriotic colored" sweatpants with the words "Trump" and "ICE" before she struck one of them across the face and body, police alleged.
Video surveillance captured Tracey's alleged assault before she left the scene but was identified by police who obtained an arrest warrant for her, the outlet reported.
She was arrested on Monday and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction, according to court records viewed by The Post. The teen Tracey allegedly slapped was not injured. Tracey had been living in Asbury Park with her husband after she entered the US with a passport in 2024, according to the outlet.

The Canadian woman who slapped a teenager at the Jersey Shore because she didn't like the girl's MAGA clothing was arrested by ICE and brought to Delaney Hall in Newark -- the very immigration detention center her lefty husband has railed about on social media. Kaitlyn E. Tracey, 33, was taken into custody after she filmed herself confronting two girls wearing "patriotic colored" sweatpants over Fourth of July weekend at Point Pleasant, one of whom she struck across the face and body, cops said. Her husband, Matthew Geroni, 42, revealed on TikTok Tuesday that she had been taken to Delaney Hall in a video he said he recorded with the purpose of getting her released from ICE custody "even if that means back to Canada," he said. Tracey was arrested on Monday and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction, according to court records viewed by The Post. The couple have been living in Asbury Park since she entered the US with a Canadian passport in 2024. It wasn't his first video about the now-infamous detainee facility, which became the site of angry protests and violent clashes between police and anti-ICE demonstrators in recent months. Geroni posted a TikTok video in June purporting to imitate both sides of the conflict, portraying the protesters as peaceful and the police as violent, mindless thugs. The video opens with him sitting under the words "peaceful protesters literally standing in their designated first amendment zone," looking confused and scratching his head. It then cuts to him standing and aiming a gun-like object with which he mimics a rapid-fire shooting motion standing beside the text "State police and [ICE] at Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ."
American husband is begging for help for his Canadian wife, who was arrested and detained by ICE after assaulting a teenager in New Jersey for wearing patriotic Trump and ICE apparel.

Needs more data. Passport just means what they used as identity papers.
Under what permit status were they admitted entry?
Was an I-94 issued?
Canadians don't need a specific visa/permit to come for a short term visit (shopping, visiting a friend for a couple of weeks, that sort of thing) but if they intend to rent or buy a house and take up residency, then hell yes they need a permit from the USCIS (formerly the INS) to do so!

America is a racist, fascist, oligarchical tyranny that encourages the murder of brown people for sport by government agents who get immunity for taking the lives of the dispossessed.
It is a tyranny of violence and oppression, and everyone who can leave should leave for their own safety.
Not just the brown immigrants and future Americans who just want to make a better life for themselves and their families, but also the legal immigrants, and the naturalized citizens, and the US born citizens who can see the encroaching fascism like 1933 Germany. Did the Jews just stick around in Germany looking for work, or did they flee?
Take the hint, for your own safety! Get out before New Hitler puts you in gas chambers! It's definitely coming!

So either they got married and stupidly didn't think they needed to get her permanent residency (aka "the green card") as a spouse with an I-130 + maybe an I-485, or they went through the process and she's a permanent resident legally, and she hasn't become a U.S. Citizen yet. (It takes time, you can't just do it instantly. It also costs quite a few thousand dollars to do.)
Either way, one thing you don't do is get in trouble with the law, at all before you reach full blown citizenship status. FFS, that's a fast-ticket to "Application DENIED" + "GTFO, Deported, LOL". Every legal immigrant knows this.

Every metric of deportations has exploded since Mullin took over from Noem.
He's gone quieter, but that just means Bovino doesn't get headlines about marching into cities. ICE is still there, picking people up, but they're moving in smaller bands and with less fanfare while picking up more and deporting at rates not seen...ever.
Deportation flights are roughly 2x what they were under Noem while holding times of detainees is down to 3-4 weeks from 6-8 early in Trump 2.0.

There is no feasible solution that gets everyone out in 5 days.
There are feasible solutions to get them out over the course of years, and the administration is pulling on every lever.
The most effective are going to be the new Treasury regulations that force banks to treat legal status as a financial risk, cutting even legal immigrants off from things like long-term loans (visa only good for 6 years max? no, you don't get a 30 year lone) to just simple banking accounts.
There's no sexiness to that stuff, so it gets ignored and forgotten, but cutting off illegals (and even some legals) from the American financial system is a huge incentive for them to leave. And it's just started.

Correction. The Republican party is waging war against America.
I'm Dutch and I find it wild that there hasn't been a country wide protest yet like there was when George Floyd was killed, what is stopping like 50 million people from potentially collectively going on the streets and protesting.
People are protesting. The No Kings protests were some of the biggest in US history. And it isn’t doing anything. And sometimes one or two of those protesters get killed for being there, or arrested and potentially sentenced very aggressively. Those risks vs little to no reward is enough to convince me not to participate
"surely he doesn't mean us, we're the good ones." - Latinos for Trump. And over 20% of black men voted for him too...fucking crazy.
Trumps plan is martial law by September and postponement of midterms by October! This is already an authoritarian govt! he wants to spark violent conflicts between ICE and protesters/immigrants to give him cover. The murders are Trump saying "Give me an excuse."

Why aren't there massive protests after the cutting of USAID and a quarter of a trillion in other federal grants by Vance's fraud task force?

I’m no bootlicker - any idiot knows traffic stops are key enforcement of any and every law. Duh. Local, state, federal.
I don’t like the cops, per se - because it will likely mean a ticket - however they must have the authority to make stops and check out who is on the road, who is in their jurisdiction.

A leftist Canadian woman allegedly slapped a teen who was wearing President Trump-branded clothing on the Jersey Shore over the Fourth of July weekend -- before she was arrested and detained by immigration officials.
She would have had her *chiclets handed to her.
*chiclets = euphemism for teeth.

Chiclets are rectangular shaped pieces of gum resembling front teeth.

I find it amazing how people refuse to believe that this stuff isn't orchestrated.
Collins wants a boost, so she takes credit for "additional training." She gets her media hit.
Trump then waits a day and says "Nah, never mind!" and meanwhile nothing actually changed. It's just to keep the churn rolling.
It's like this breathless circle-jerk about the SAVE Act where *nothing ever happens.* It's just to keep everyone talking about it.
And yes, I worked in politics, and we coordinated these "fights" and also arranged for bills to be tanked by people in safe seats.
We also swapped votes ("I've got two for this, give me two for that") and so much of it was scripted. But reporters pretended it wasn't because they needed the headlines and clicks.

He wasn't.
He was allowed to retire. He was eligible for one more year of service but chose to retire.
Was it entirely voluntary? Probably not. He was getting a lot of flack that the administration didn't want. So, there was probably a push there.
And, arrests have increased since Bovino and Noem left. Deportation flights have increased since they left.
Bovino and Noem made immigration enforcement a show. There may have been benefits to that, but since they starred in their own show, when the time came to change it from a show to a low-burn strategy that netted more people, they had to go.

Spoiler alert, people of Reddit: the federal government is always waging war on us. From BOTH parties. It's up to us to rein them in and take our power back.
Also, Reddit gets it right, sometimes! A nurse posted on Reddit/nursing that she checked out a coworker/mentor's socials and gasp, he's MAGA! But he's kind, never bring up politics, and everyone tells her she lucked out getting him as a mentor. She asks them for advice on how to handle working with a MAGA.
They all pretty much tell her: suck it up, you will always have to work with people that disagree with you, that's what adults do. What will she do if a patient has Fox News on? That in nursing, you treat rapists and murderers too, and you have to give them all the same care. Suck it up, buttercup, you're in the real world now. It was refreshing.
Some also pointed out that by stalking his socials she's potentially crossing a line, and needs to stop being a creeper and just do her job.

They all pretty much tell her: suck it up, you will always have to work with people that disagree with you, that's what adults do. What will she do if a patient has Fox News on? That in nursing, you treat rapists and murderers too, and you have to give them all the same care. Suck it up, buttercup, you're in the real world now. It was refreshing.

It's pure lawyer bullshit. No media outlet wants to risk a defamation case, so it's standard practice to always say "alleged" or "charged" until a conviction. After a conviction, they drop the "alleged."

Newsweek, "Tracey, of Allenhurst, New Jersey, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction in the July 3 incident."
"Of Allenhurst, NJ" - Home values in Allenhurst span historic Victorians and Craftsman-style properties, with an average home value of approximately $2,360,171.
The local rental market is dominated by larger luxury homes and seasonal rentals, with average monthly rent prices generally ranging between $3,300 and $17,000 depending on the size and time of year.
Utility prices are about 3% higher than the national average, and transportation expenses (e.g., gas, tolls, transit fares) are roughly 5% higher.
Grocery prices are stable, sitting just 2% higher than the national average.
New Jersey is known for high property taxes, which directly impact the overall cost of ownership in this upscale borough.

NBC 10, July 14, 2026, In part, "Contractor killed in Philly was part of transnational criminal group, DHS says
Salis Hanrahan, a 20-year-old contractor who was shot and killed in Philly, was part of a transnational criminal organization, the Department of Homeland Security said.
On Wednesday, July 8, 2026, Salis Hanrahan, 20, was shot and killed along the 400 block of Ripka Street. Witnesses told NBC10 the shooting occurred around 2 p.m. that day as construction workers installed siding on a home. The witnesses said they heard an argument inside the home. A few moments later, Hanrahan walked out of the home and collapsed on the sidewalk, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Investigators recovered a gun from the scene of the crime. Two days later, on July 10, police announced the owner of the Ripka Street home, 75-year-old George Barr, was arrested in connection to Hanrahan’s death. Barr was charged with murder, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person."

Officially? No. Unofficially? Yes. See below:
Immigration can bar you from entry for up to 10 years, and you have to apply to have the bar lifted after that time, THEN you have to re-apply for lawful entry, and they can simply deem in "inadmissible" and turn you around at the border again.
Unofficially, they can mark your identification in the Customs and Border Patrol system in such a way that it's effectively a "Don't let this asshole in, ever." So you're just chronically "inadmissible".

Biden Slurs and Stumbles His Way Through Ad for His Ghostwritten "Memoir"
This drooling imbecile was paid $10 million by the corrupt corporate media for a book that won't make $2 million.
As ghastly as that corruption is, at least we can take solace in Biden feeling disrespected by the fact he only got $10 million -- the clean, articulate black man (whoah, that's storybook, man!) who proceeded him got $60 million. (Plus a hundred million from propaganda op Netflix, just for existing.) And now he's doing videos to sell this POS before he dies.Below: A clearly mentally-ravaged Biden slurs his way through an ad for "his" ghostwritten book of lies. This short video has more cuts in it than a Michael Bay action sequence.
Former President Joe Biden will release his memoir this fall at a date set for two weeks after midterm elections in which Democrats seek to regain control of Congress. ... The memoir Promise Me, America will focus on his four years leading the nation, as Breitbart News reported. Many Democrats remain divided on Biden's legacy and his ill-fated journey to seek a second term in the White House while questions have been raised about Biden's mental decline while he was in the White House and the alleged use of an autopen.
His own party's leaders hope to keep the fall campaign focused on the record of Republican President Donald Trump, the AP report notes, rather than that of a man who drifted out of view when all attempts to return to the highest office in the land came to nothing and his own party turned on him. "'Promise Me, America' is about the challenges we faced as a nation. It's about the decisions I made and why I made them," Biden said in a video statement accompanying Wednesday's announcement. "Most of all, it's about my faith in the promise of America."
I’ve written a book about my time as President. It’s called PROMISE ME, AMERICA. It’s coming out November 17th and is available for preorder now. https://t.co/uMINr9efxS@littlebrown pic.twitter.com/yzWfZyD31A

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared to suffer an embarrassing mishap on the Senate floor Tuesday when what sounded like a fart interrupted his remarks live on C-SPAN. Schumer was criticizing President Trump over the war in Iran when the noise broke through the chamber's microphones. "Now on Iran and the NDAA," the 75-year-old New York Democrat began before briefly pausing and continuing with his speech.

Harris is an airhead, worse than Biden if that’s possible, and had no chance, ever. The press and media did not want anyone to know this.

I've actually been following this. The "refugee camp" is placed squarely between two rural towns. Piddington, Oxforshire is just one of them. The "camp" will be where they settle the "boat people" who, at that point would have had no valid vetting. Additionally, they have already confirmed that occupants of that "camp" will have the freedom to leave anytime they wish.
Piddington is a rural town people visit to go hiking, and view some of the subsidiary campuses of Oxford University. The estimated population of the camp is not 1000. That's the toned down number. The true expectation is in excess of 2500.
Even the police there are very concerned.

Netflix needed ‘Net Neutrality’ and Obama gave it to them.
The reason Netflix needed it was because, at the time, they feared that the likes of AT&T, Comcast, and the rest of the ISPs were going to start charging Netflix large carriage fees because of the explosive increase in the amount of bandwidth being sent over their networks once Netflix began streaming video to every subscriber.
Net Neutrality put an end to that worry as the Big ISPs were no longer allowed to prioritize or throttle bandwidth hogs and had to treat every IP packet ‘neutrally’.
I’m certain that’s why the Obamas were paid off, I just can’t prove it, and neither can anybody else unless one of the participants confesses to the payoff with proof.

He actually got 15 MILLION more votes than Obama got in 2012, and 12 MILLION more than in 2008. This is all you really need to know there was fraud. The involvement of a foreign government pumping fake ballots into the system would track with the ridiculous number because they likely didn't think about how the total would look when they were doing it across multiple states with their hair on fire.

The GRU had to arrange a secret diplomatic cover mission pack the books, truck them to the airport and ship them to a secret GRU facility to have them burned in total secrecy. The West thought they had gotten some amazing spying win when they were coverting internal skulduggery.

Ruby Rippey-Gibney — the former San Francisco City Hall aide whose affair with Gov. Gavin Newsom nearly upended his political career — will tell her side of the story for the first time in an upcoming Vanity Fair piece, The California Post has learned.
Details of the piece remain unclear, but a source familiar with the matter said Rippey-Gibney intends to recount her perspective on the affair that rocked San Francisco politics in 2007 and has remained one of the most embarrassing moments in then-mayor of San Francisco Newsom’s life and career.

We've discovered that having light outside when you wake up is important. It causes your body to stop producing melatonin and it changes your cortisol levels. It reduces the issues people have with SAD and other mood regulation issues.
On the other hand, it's nice to have light at the end of your day. Outdoor chores, exercise, etc. are all nice to do outside in the afternoon.
I'm predicting that many of the people screaming that changing the clocks twice a year is STOOOPID are going to be shouted down after we implement this system.
I honestly don't get the hate for changing the time. I set my alarm on my phone, and my phone auto-adjusts. I never miss the time change and my body figures it out just fine. I'd rather adjust my clock to maximize sunlight during my day.

*looks around as the modern celebrity culture landscape*
Oh crap, yes I can.
There was a good article at the NY Post by Miska Saleman, another single mom, who says how sad it is she is defining her importance not by her new child but by if men still find her screwable. And how creepy her photoshoot was of her breastfeeding her kid. The morons would appreciate the size of her boobs. But she looked very dead behind the eyes.

As ghastly as that corruption is, at least we can take solace in Biden feeling disrespected by the fact he only got $10 million -- the clean, articulate black man (whoah, that's storybook, man!) who proceeded him got $60 million. (Plus a hundred million from propaganda op Netflix, just for existing.)
I can't wait until Bai-Den is caught on a hot mic, bitching about how "that (insert your favorite racial epithet here)" got so much more money than he did.

It and almost every other time he was an idiot before the press has been covered over.
For instance, the "Easter Bunny leading Biden away" refers to a viral incident during the April 2022 White House Easter Egg Roll. While former President Joe Biden was answering reporters' questions about Afghanistan, an aide in an Easter Bunny costume stepped in and ushered him away to prevent him from taking further questions.
The Easter Bunny was revealed to be Meghan Hay, who served as the White House Director of Message Planning, running interference for the President's public messaging.
He 'assumed' office January 20, 2021.

The day care center/elderly Medicare scams enrage me, because the average middle class people taking care of their elderly loved ones are struggling. It's so expensive. Then you have fake centers getting millions and pocketing it.
I kind of loved that Nick Shirley found a legit elderly Korean day care center in NYC, and the owner gave him a list right away of all the scam centers to check out. The scam ones are pocketing all their clients and making them lose money, while skimping on services the seniors actually need. They are gong to make the legit centers go bankrupt.

Unrelated, but that got me remembering a particularly savage Mad Magazine bit about Jonas Salk going to a publisher with a serious book on the Polio vaccine, but they wanted to capitalize on his well-deserved fame by taking his academic manuscript and rewriting it for mass consumption. They ended up with a Jonas Salk Polio Vaccine Coloring Book. Which didn't sell worth a damn.

My aunt once sold him a bunch of antique thread spools at the Rose Bowl Flea Market back in the 90s. She said that he was quiet and friendly. It helps that she was savvy enough not to gush over him, she just quietly told him that she loved his work when they were settling up. She mentioned that he really appreciated that she didn't make a scene.
Which was ruined when he went to the next seller, who exclaimed OH MY GOD, JOHN MALKOVICH! and practically dropped to his knees and opened wide.

In a National Address Tomorrow Night, Trump Will Reveal a Far More Extensive Foreign Penetration of the 2020 US Elections Than Ever Known; Plus, RussiaGate Was Faked to Protect the Real Country Intervering in Elections: China, on Behalf of Democrats
From Paul Sperry:
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_ Jul 14 DEVELOPING: President Trump to announce in prime-time speech Thurs night FBI/CIA/ODNI have uncovered "shocking" intelligence of foreign election interference (not Russian) in recent US elections inclg 2020 + COVER-UP. Directors Ratcliffe, Patel to certify evidence...developing...
So here's what we're learning from all these declassified materials: The US Intelligence Community *juiced* intel to make it seem like Moscow interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump, but then *buried* intel indicating Beijing interfered in the election to help Biden in 2020
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: I'm told forthcoming declassified docs will prove foreign penetration of 2020 election was deeper than anything the Russians were alleged to have done in 2016. Included hacking into state voter rolls. ID and ballot fraud. Yet Wray FBI +IC certified election was "secure"
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_ BREAKING: Docs also will reveal Biden admin cooked a 2021 Intelligence Community Assessment to make it appear pro-Trump Russia had still been election interference threat in 2020 when in fact real threat from a pro-Biden nation.ICA used as "red herring" to throw public off scent.
Paul SperryBy the way: The Democrats are pressuring the networks to not carry this address:
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: Acting AG Todd Blanche just testified "we are investigating" an FBI agent's sworn affidavit detailing how the Comey FBI had no legal predication to pursue a FISA warrant and to wiretap Trump adviser Walid Phares in 2017. Here's my RCI scoop regarding that case.
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
NEW: WH getting pushback from Big 3 TV nets over carrying Thurs primetime address live bc AOC/Dems claiming Trump's just gonna rehash "baseless conspiracy theories" 2020 election rigged/stolen even tho Trump promises "really big news" flanked by both CIA/FBI chiefs bringing receipts

We'll find out in about 34 hours or so.
But I seriously doubt there will be an effort to actually remove Ossoff and Warnock.
I suspect there will be arrests of Fulton County and maybe even GA state election officials in the next day or so preceding the address along with announcements of sweeping oversight over elections in suspicious jurisdictions (Harmeet Dhillon has already announced poll watchers from DOJ in a dozen jurisdictions just for primary voting).
GA is going to very weirdly swing hard to the right this year, and the conventional wisdom will be somewhere between voter suppression and Bottoms as the gubernatorial candidate.

It sure looks like tech billionaires and foreign dictatorships gave us Trump in 2024. This is as bad as the massive Russian bot presence on Facebook and Twitter back in 2016, which Robert Mueller documented gave Trump the presidency that time.
A peer-reviewed study released Thursday in Nature, the world's most prestigious scientific journal, has finally put hard numbers to what a lot of us suspected the moment the 2024 election was called for Trump (and Republicans in Congress) by the big networks: the algorithms that control our largest social media platforms intentionally and explicitly tilted the playing field, and they tilted it for Donald Trump and the GOP.

Way back in late 2020 and 2021, there were several who said that the sophisticated and coordinated injection of ballots could not have been accomplished by individuals or groups.
That is had all the fingerprints of a nation's intelligence service.
Recall:
- hundreds of 1000s of ballots, specific to hundreds of jurisdictions were printed
- and filled in State A
- for voters in State B who had not already voted and would not vote
- shipped to State B
- where various election officials and postal workers, and gaps in same, were exploited in order to inject those ballots into the count
- and all of this was being run in real-time during early voting
- with 10s of thousands in reserve, which they frantically deployed about 9pm on Election Night
But there is "no evidence" of fraud ....

That's going to be a running narrative from Trump until next Congress.
But with the death of Lindsey Graham, we went from 0% change of it passing to 0% chance of it passing.
Mitch, Ernst, Cassidy, Cornyn, Tillis, and Murkowski were never going to vote for it in a final vote. The cowards (like Ernst) would hide behind those willing to "stand up to Trump" but there was never going to be the votes for it once those six decided that the SAVE act was beneath them. Especially once Cassidy and Cornyn lost their primaries and need to pretend to care about what the people wanted.
A much higher chance of it passing next Congress.
And besides, imagine a miracle happened and it passed today. It wouldn't be in effect for this year's election.

The whole concept of tolling is a complicated subject in law, statutes of limitation are really just codified court decisions on tolling as special cases but it depends on the specific charges or civil liability, when it was uncovered, and a lot of other factors making simple predictions of this or that unreliable.
Tolling is one of the problems that a lot of civil litigation lawyers can easily screw up on which can prevent or allow lawsuits to proceed. A bit simpler in criminal matters but even there, you have to dig into the actual charges, when the criminal evidence was discovered, and so on.
Law is an art, not a science, and skilled attorneys never give a yes/know answer without digging in a lot of cases. That fact it is an art is what makes Democrat lawfare even possible--they rely on judges with blinders to go along with their actions that on the whole of the law appear unlawful or unreasonable.

Politics under every form of government demonstrate corruption because it involves people who are naturally sinful.
So, once you disregard the perfect, you aim for the possible. A system where corruption is discouraged in officeholders and virtuous behavior encouraged.
That is doable. The goal of no sin in people is beyond mere humans to fix. And any sin in people will be reflected when those people are put into office.

And he's going to fly with you on that big beautiful helicopter in the sky, and we're all gonna watch it on TruthSocial - on my channel - each of you are gonna have a wonderful amazing flight and time to think. Not a lot of time but enough time. You should really have enough time. Plenty of time.

“My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw the DNC forever. We begin bombing in five minutes…” will get a flaming skull.

You Can Help Find Non-Citizens On the Voter Rolls
The Department of Homeland Security has a website called the “Worst of the Worst.”
These are all criminal illegal aliens that have committed heinous crimes.
You can filter the illegal aliens by state.
So, I thought to myself, “What if some of these criminal illegal aliens are voting?”
We plugged the illegal aliens into the Pennsylvania voter rolls & — sure enough —
we are finding that many are not only ACTIVELY registered to vote, but that they have also voted in federal elections.
Imagine if a legion of Americans across the country used the DHS WOW website to find illegal aliens on the voter rolls.
This is a game-changer & I have no doubt that the powers that be DON’T want you to see this information

You left out millions in Senate campaign funds and the next two years trying to persuade Alaskans for another go.
Murkcow, especially if the Senate has GOP gains, is increasingly isolated as her cronies and patron Mitch leaves office. GOP gains one or two seats, Murcow and even Collins become irrelevant.
And Trump has appointments to offer--like ambassadorships, offices for cronies and family, etc. to essentially change the calculus for some of them. Plus their donor networks may or may not want their Congress critter to play ball which is difficult for outsiders to see. And their staffers have their ass hanging in the wind from coming unemployment and loss of juice which helps them act as inside advocates.
Patronage is a dirty word but often results in gains in good public policy when used correctly.

It's more about how holding times on detainees have dropped significantly because of increased efficiencies in immigration courts (hiring new judges, mega master hearings, etc.) so that they're held for a lot less time.
If your average detainee is in holding for 25 days, you have far less need for overall holding than if the average is 60 days.

Actually Obama set that up in the final weeks of his regime when he created a diplomatic crisis by expelling a number of Russian diplomats for supposed election interference or some BS. Frorm the shocked reaction of Putin and the Russian embassy it was pretty clear somebody was being set up but is was not clear what this what all about and it was mostly forgotten.

They are not “regulations” or “rules”. Black letter Federal Law Felonies.
Each count. Intent has nothing to do with it. Failure to safeguard State secrets, among other things.
Further, much of the materials and imagery were purloined from secure facilities that have no connection to the internet or email, ever. By design, to preclude this top secret material from being hacked or diverted in the first place.

I have this recollection when Megyn Kelly (when she was at Fox) was uncovering this with early John Solomon, Victoria Toensing, and that other reporter-girl -- can't remember her name, she was good -- anyway, all these revelations coming out that Hillary had never even signed these required forms that indicated "I have read the above rules and understand" blah-blah.
And no one could find any written rules or laws that stated what was supposed to happen if papers were missing or not signed. Patrick Kennedy was the guy in charge, and he thugged his way out of every demand for information.
However, she could have been charged with scores of felonies for her emails. Never was. Maddening.

=======
The specific statute in question does not require intent to prove a crime, simply that you took classified information and put it at risk which she did. The whole intent search was a blinder.
A poor navy sob went to prison for taking some pictures of his sub.
A US Navy sailor was sentenced on Friday to a year in prison for taking photos of classified areas inside a nuclear attack submarine while it was in port in Connecticut.
Kristian Saucier, of Arlington, Vermont, appeared in federal court in Bridgeport, where a judge also ordered him to serve six months of home confinement with electronic monitoring during a three-year period of supervised release after the prison time. He pleaded guilty in May to unauthorized detention of defense information and had faced five to six years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines.
Saucier admitted to taking six photos of classified areas inside the USS Alexandria in 2009 when it was in Groton and he was a 22-year-old machinist mate on the submarine.

The FCC controls broadcasting, not content creation.
Threatening "licenses" is a non-starter. The local stations (which again, now have an audience that is a rounding error anyway) have licenses, but they're not the ones who set network policy.

Jack Smith Shredded the Constitution to Spy on Republican Congressmen, Then Repeatedly Lied About It Under Oath
There is a bullshit way around this. The DOJ will sometimes seize these messages anyway but they first go to a "Filter Team" to make sure that nothing in the messages is protected by the Speech and Debate Clause. If a message falls into that category, it's not passed on to prosecutors. But Jack Smith said "YOLO" and just read all the messages he wanted to read, without any Filter Team clearing them first. And of course, 90% of those he illegally, unconstitutionally spied on were Republican congressmen.David Strom adds that Smith has always been a notoriously partisan operator who could be counted on to break the law to advance the interests of the Democrat Party -- which is precisely why Merrick Garland broke the law to appoint him.
Newly released records reveal that Special Counsel Jack Smith's team bypassed mandatory protocols to secretly access the private text messages of 44 members of Congress during the probe into President Donald Trump, the Justice Department confirmed Tuesday. The disclosure, confirmed by records released by the Senate Judiciary Committee, has become a major constitutional flashpoint. As lawmakers confront the reality that their private communications were accessed without following established filter protocols, the inquiry is igniting a broader debate over the separation of powers between the executive branch and the legislative body. "Communications from Members of Congress pertaining to their official legislative duties are protected from criminal prosecution under the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause," the Senate Judiciary's press release said. The Speech or Debate Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 6) serves as a check on executive power and is designed to prevent members of Congress from being "questioned in any other Place," ensuring they cannot be subjected to the scrutiny of the Justice Department or the judicial branch for their legislative acts. Yet DOJ records released to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveal that former Special Counsel Jack Smith's team reviewed the texts of 44 members of Congress, including 40 Republicans and four Democrats, during the investigation into President Donald Trump. .. "This is a blatant abuse of power, and exactly what our Founders warned about," Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., also wrote on X. Paul also called out Jack Smith, where, during a December 2025 congressional deposition when he was asked under oath whether his team had reviewed the content of text messages belonging to members of Congress, he answered, "No." ...
While the Filter Team's purpose was to prevent investigators from the Special Counsel's Office and the FBI from accessing privileged materials among records obtained, evidence shows that investigators bypassed this, potentially infringing on constitutional guardrails, according to the release. .. The phones were associated with a long list of officials serving in the White House during President Trump's first term, including Trump himself, as well as Stephen Miller, Rudy Giuliani, Kellyanne Conway, Peter Navarro, the president's daughter Ivanka Trump, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former Vice President Mike Pence. Smith's investigative team downloaded and began reviewing the texts without waiting for the Filter Team's evaluation. ... Meanwhile, the scope of this investigative overreach has been igniting sharp backlash on Capitol Hill. ... Missouri Senator Josh Hawley also slammed the findings of the DOJ records, writing on X, "Joe Biden's DOJ not only tapped my phone; I just learned they ILLEGALLY obtained my texts with members of President Trump's administration," adding, "Everyone involved needs to be PROSECUTED." Lawmakers are now calling for a full-scale investigation into the breach, decrying what Senator Ron Johnson described as the "Biden administration's weaponization of the Justice Department." At the core of their concerns is whether the government has prioritized its investigative reach over constitutional restraints.
Jack Smith, the illegally appointed Special Prosecutor whom Biden's Justice Department sicced on Donald Trump, is a perjurer. That should surprise nobody; for years now it has been obvious that he is a partisan hack with a burning desire to take down Donald Trump, which is why the Justice Department violated its own rules (eventually destroying their case) in order to appoint him. They knew they could count on him to break any rule, tell any lie, and cross every ethical boundary to get his man.Learn to code. In a prison classroom.

People said the same thing about Bolton. The key thing here is that he lied in 2025. That's well within the statute of limitations.
The problem with 99% of the Trump 1.0-era stuff is the SoL has long run. There's nothing anyone can do about that.
I think it's 50-50 that the loathsome Jack Smith gets indicted. It seems like they're setting the stage for it.

1. The Uniparty looks after it's own. It's both party's establishments, and they will look after each other. Bolton is a major part of that, which is why Mitch got Trump to put Bolton on his staff in Trump 1.0.

There is a third, and in some ways they are the worst. They are the ones that are productive, hardworking Americans, and on paper and in their daily lives live like a conservative. Fiscally responsible. But they latch onto every woke cause possible, virtue signal every leftist talking point, and often raise the uber daddy rich kids.
A lot of first gen immigrant Asian and Indian families I grew up with were this way, as were blue collar kids who went to college and got white collar jobs. They benefit the most from capitalism and the American dream, and yet then teach their kids to believe it's evil. While living like a conservative. Crazy subversive. The hardest to dismiss because they are smart, should know better and be more self aware.
These were the ones Spencer Pratt was trying to appeal to the most. Hard working libs who buy into the lies, but at some point, the reality about how bad liberal policies actually are, and how it's destroying the cities they love, and might finally red pill them.

it should be a lower standard to investigate an elected official than a private citizen. Don't like it? Don't run for office. If you're in office you need to be above reproach, it unironically should be a job where "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."
Republican politicians love acting like something that is routinely done to average Americans, that they sanction, is appalling because it's done to them
All my work emails are on the company server that HR can review at any time. IGs should be able to monitor all of it.
Lol Jack Smith doesn’t care and I’m sure he isn’t intimidated in the slightest. Hold him accountable for what? They’re so petty and vindictive
Republicans are used to dealing with maliciously weak and incompetent democrats. They literally cannot imagine the pushback someone competent like Smith is capable of.

The Democrats have a long history of indicting Republicans on made-up, false and frivolous charges to remove them from the ballot.
Smith intended to indict any Republican who dared oppose the Democrats.
And he would have gotten a 100% conviction in the DC courts.
This was not just lawfare:
It was a judicially sponsored, encouraged and aided coup attempt against the Constitution.
Every judge who approved this investigation needs to have there entire office defunded--don't fuck around wasting time with impeachment. They can leave or they and their staff can work for free.
And every person who worked with Jack Smith needs to be charged and in prison.

In fact, as I recall there were some papers that "had to" be filed before a person could commence their duties that weren't filed, weren't signed.

William J. Burns served as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the Biden administration.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an independent agency that reports directly to the Director of National Intelligence.
Avril Haines served as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) throughout the entirety of the Biden administration, from January 2021 to January 2025.
Before stepping into the DNI role, she possessed significant national security experience, having served as the Deputy Director of the CIA and the Principal Deputy National Security Advisor during the Obama administration.
During their time together at the CIA, Avril Haines was under John Brennan.
The CIA spied on Senate staffers investigating the agency's post-9/11 interrogation and detention program.
In 2014, the internal CIA IG confirmed it. At the time, then-CIA Director John Brennan initially & furiously denied the allegations.

But what they were doing was no less dangerous and deadly.
They intended to decapitate and destroy the Republican Party, via indictments and prison.
To cement the Democrats into one-party rule forever.
They would have won the Presidency, indicted enough Republicans in Congress to take majorities and instantly would have:
- mandatory nationwide mail-in ballots to all registered voters and ranked choice voting in every federal election.
- expand the Supreme Court and pack it with 5 new Dem Justices
- add PR and DC as states
- wide open border
America and the Constitution would be dead.
And the Boomer GOPe?

A few things.

2. Cunningham was polling better against Tillis at the same time in 2020.
3. Registration changes greatly advantage Repubilcans.
4. Federal races tend to be more purely partisan than state level races (think Hogan in MD gov. vs. his senate race).
5. Cooper has issues stemming from Helene and crime (Ilyna).
6. Cooper, super popular governor with no downside, can't hit 50%.
Cooper is the underdog.

Former Senate staffers could not sue the CIA or John Brennan for searching their computers because of sovereign immunity. This legal doctrine shields the federal government and its officials acting in their official capacities from most civil lawsuits unless Congress has explicitly waived that immunity, which it has not for this type of constitutional tort.
Because the staffers could not pursue a lawsuit for damages, the resolution was handled politically and administratively rather than in the courts. The dispute was heavily framed as a constitutional issue.
Instead of individual legal action, Senate leaders handled the breach directly as an Intelligence Committee oversight dispute to protect the legislative branch's checks and balances over the executive branch.
And the DOJ declined to pursue.

Some polling numbers
1. Mamdani beat Cuomo by 24 points among college voters and lost non-college by 22; a 46 point education divide
2. El-Sayed leads by 7 among college in this poll, down 22 among non-college; 29 point divide
3. Platner led by 37 points among Maine college voters in NYT polling, but was down 23 to Collins among non-college; 60 point divide (*general election, not primary numbers)
A lot of interpretive places to go with this. One is that—for now!—it seems the populist left revolution is creating a kind of leftwing party-within-the-party that might accentuate the benefits and costs of Democrats over-performance among college grads rather than fix it."

Sovereign immunity is not sacrosanct--fwiw, there is a doctrine, ultra vires, that makes government people doing illegal things both criminally and civilly liable.
Not used much in recent years, but the liability goes to the individual doing the illegal act, not the US per se. Came from the old King can do no wrong but his ministers can and have in English common law.
And you have Six Unknown Federal Agents v. Bivins which creates constitutional torts as well.
Law itself depends a lot on context, the court(s) reviewing the actions, and politics.

A possible interpretation:
College educated adults are generally downwardly mobile socially right now because of the overabundance of degrees combined with the injection of foreign labor in the college educated labor pool, making post-college employment difficult and their promised sinecures impossible. So, they trend towards socialism.
Non-college educated adults are either staying the same or getting better and don't feel the same antagonism towards the current economic model of the American engine as their counterparts with college degrees.

It also solves the masculinity problem in part by giving them youth, energy and a message. Without this bullshit DSA astroturfing, Democrats were floating around with nothing but old ugly people spouting complaints and hate while Trump corraled all the good "centrist" stuff over to the R's.
So now it's YOUNG ugly people spouting complaints and hate but inside a nifty "new" message. They can then leverage their Pedowood phonies to put a nice coat of varnish on tired old communism and make it seem "fresh". And probably also appoint a presidential candidate that can be seen as "bridging" the two factions.

That's funny. I knew a guy in high school that had a license plate that read SMK BWLS and a rich lady I know has VO H2O.
I would never drive a car with either of those, you're asking to get pulled over for something.

There is a vast thicket of laws nowadays--federal and state, that you could go about your day and unwitting commit multiple felonies daily if pitched correctly to a grand jury.

I wouldn't be adverse to public drawings out of a hat rather than the obvious strategic assignment process they use to assure certain Judges are always in a position to challenge certain court participants.
This "stacking the deck" in advance of a case is ridiculously obvious and blatant.

Precisely. The media decides what America will care about, to the point of rioting if necessary. They also decide if America will NOT care about an issue - as you point out. The large majority of Americans are nothing more than trained circus animals, jumping to the Ringmasters command. And the media are the ringmasters.

Wednesday Morning Rant
It is likely waning now, but we're coming off one of the largest peacetime migrations in American history. A lot of people have moved in the past decade, and not just down the street or to a better neighborhood. It is plain that on CNBC's list, "red states" are bad and "blue states" are good, but there's more going on over the covers when you look at population. Per the Census estimates from April, 2020 as compared to July, 2025, the US total population increased by 3.1%. That is the baseline. So what about the best and worst?
CNBC "Worst" States- Tennessee: +5.83%
- Texas: +8.78%
- Indiana: +2.75%
- Louisiana: -0.85%
- Georgia: +5.50%
- Utah: +8.17%
- Missouri: +1.88%
- Alabama: +3.34%
- Oklahoma: +4.14%
- Arkansas: +3.43% CNBC "Best" States
- Vermont: +0.25%
- New Jersey: +2.79%
- Minnesota: +2.17%
- Connecticut: +2.24%
- Hawaii: -1.54%
- New Hampshire: +2.74%
- Virginia: +2.88%
- North Dakota: +2.60%
- Massachusetts: +1.72%
- Nebraska: +2.86% Of CNBC's 10 "worst" states, seven of them grew population faster than the United States. Of CNBC's 10 "best" states, zero of them grew faster than the United States overall. In real terms, the entire "best" list has lost population over the past five years. Its "worst" states include most of the big "red" states, but it's "best" list doesn't include several of the big "blue" states. As a bonus, let's look at a handful of big, major-player states that didn't make either list:
- Illinois: -0.80%
- New York: -1.00%
- California: -0.51%
- Florida: +8.93%
- Ohio: +0.86%
- Arizona: +6.51% Ouch. Deep blue California, New York and Illinois all shrank in nominal terms. On the red side, Florida grew even more than Texas and Ohio shrank in real terms. Purple Arizona grew more than twice as fast as the country as a whole. The gigantic migration of the past several years is going to have profound consequences on electoral distribution and power dynamics - especially if (and it is a big "if") the red state population magnets remain red states. Population movement can cause major political and cultural change, which we've seen writ large as some states of the Interior West fell like dominoes, moving from red or purple to solid blue and how Florida moved from purple to red (thanks in large part to electoral reform and reduced cheating, but still...). If this migration serves to reinforce rather than degrade the targets of the migration, the ripples through the power structure are barely even being felt yet. I think this is what the establishment fears, is why CNBC went full retard with their lists this year - and why I expect to see more excoriation of the popular red states and more articles about how wonderful the blue states are. People have spent the better part of a decade voting not just with their ballots or with their wallets, but with their feet. This has also been largely ignored by the mainstream, which is notable because this has been a big and consequential realignment spread over years. During this time, most of the establishment - regardless of nominal party affiliation - has been pretending it isn't happening. It is too big to continue ignoring it and I think this is a sign that the establishment is finally starting to acknowledge what has happened and to attempt to slow any more motion in the same direction. If this assumption is correct and this is the establishment's motivation, they waited far, far too long. The horses are out of the barn. The Great Migration has already redrawn the map. A media salvo and associated pressure campaigns now will be too little, too late. The only real question is whether the Great Migration reinforces conservatism at its destinations, or whether the red states will fall. If this pair of articles is indeed a trial balloon and more follow with greater intensity and frequency, it will be a strong indicator that the establishment fears that the Great Migration is a reinforcing trend for its enemies - that is, for Americans.

All the NY progressives were moving to FL, and the state was going to turn blue.

Basically, in 1988 lots of rural counties voted for Dukakis and core suburbs voted strongly for Bush. Then 1992 happened, and Perot got huge percentages of the vote, especially in counties that were primed to flip. Fast forward to 1996, and Northeastern counties were voting +50% for Clinton, and Dole was comfortably winning rural areas.
Vermont (the best example people give of a state flipping because of migration) actually shows exactly the same pattern as Delaware or Connecticut from 1988-1996. I'm not convinced that migration does anything other than reinforce existing trends.

The Great Migration refers to internal migration within the United States as the American population self-sorts across states.
That pattern at scale began in 2020 with COVID and BLM riots. It's an observable pattern that saw an uptick in internal migration, hence the term the Great Migration.

Probably true as far as it goes--one of the big drivers is political socialization--when a person adopts a semi permanent political id and that is affected by their age cohort, experiences during that cohort's political founding (between 18-30 or so), and the success or lack thereof of their adopted political party at the time.
If you overlaid percentage of New Deal and Baby Boom cohorts with the county voting records, then I suspect you would find some correlation and the new 'migrants' would move to an area already simpatico with their chosen id.
New England is a aging backwater of US economy and I suspect that a lot of these people there are political fossils of the New Deal and Baby Boom that are supplemented demographically by those going to higher education institutions in that area that find it congenial with their indoctrinated political views.

Grok says he is married to a woman and lives in Santa Cruz. He is no longer a full time employee of CNBC but apparently independently produces this Best/Worst list from his home.
Sounds like he isn't gay but suffers from living in Santa Cruz, which (despite it's reputation) is not a super attractive town (based on admittedly brief visits). With towns like Carmel to the south or Half Moon Bay to the north not far away, I can't imagine why a=someone would move to Santa Cruz.

In terms of foreign populations being addressed right now, you have to look at the net negative population growth of the US in 2025, record high forced deportations (roughly 1.2 million, 4x what Eisenhower did), self-deportations (based on surveys and previously observed patterns of 3-4x the rate of forced deportations, so between 4-5 million), restrictions on all visa classes (down double digits across the board, the admin can't kill the visa classes since they were created by Congress), investigations into visa fraud (yes, including H1-Bs which is being used a precedent to end the OPT program which is also being investigated), and the new Treasury regulations that inform banks that they have to treat an individual's legal status (or lack thereof) in the US as a risk factor in terms of them being able to pay back loans and things.

Have you tried incorporating more of the topical movies into some videos? I know it's impossible to do "Supergirl" on an erudite channel such as your own nor are you likely looking to insert yourself into the culture war but I would strongly consider finding a way to make a discussion heavily involve current thing. The Odyssey and Nolan would provide ample opportunity to do that.
That would appear IMO to be the best way for a movie channel to be "boosted". And yes I know no one does that anymore because it's what everyone else is doing.

I tend to think it's a deliberate act. It's not from "shitty farm workers." It's an actual parasite that lives on or in the produce. And it only appeared when those "shitty farm workers" were told to get the fuck out and go back to whatever shithole country they came from. Or face deportation. And their employers fined bigly.

I can't recommend that anyone who isn't a Leftist stay in a deep blue state, though.
Things are not going to get better, at least with regard to the suppurating rift between Left and Right. This is a harsh political reality.
These blue states are going to get worse and worse, faster and faster, as they grow more and more extreme. That will have universally negative consequences for them, but they will be worst for the people these increasingly aggressive authoritarians perceive as their enemies.

That was the objective of the Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die video.
I just choose little movies people don't care about.
What I'm going to do instead is about "Director DNA" movies. The one movie by a director that best defines them fully as a filmmaker.
So, hook is big names. There's contrarianism within it as well. Combine that with the right thumbnail, and it could grow. And it encourages discussion because "no, it's not X movie, it's Y movie."

That's rock solid. You could even.cheat and do several different ones per director.
Speaking for myself I would watch a why Jackie Brown is definitive AND a why Pulp Fiction is definitive.
Hard because it makes you seem wishy washy but this is about discussion, engagement and views, and literally no one doesn't know that. Plus everyone already knows there's no right answer.
Gives you more content and more things for fans of those particular movies to stumble across. So don't necessarily limit it to a singular answer even if that would be your instinct. You could call them thought experiments or something catchier.

So, Joe, you finally got me to look at that Worst States article. To see what they had to say about the Sooner State.
Oklahoma imposes one of America’s strictest bans on abortion, even though studies, including one by the National Bureau of Economic Research last year, found abortion bans increase net migration outflows, particularly among single adults.
Sure not seeing a problem here. Don't want those particular single adults anyway. Ironic (or something like) that "Strengths" lists: Childcare.
The other "negative" is we don't raise the d@mned minimum wage. Which, as we know, is really $0.
A divided Oklahoma Supreme Court on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, overturned a portion of the state’s near total ban on abortion, ruling women have a right to abortion when pregnancy risks their health, not just in a medical emergency.
As I recall, nowadays pregnancy risks health 0% of the time. Depending on the definition of "health risk," of course. My personal Overton Window has certainly moved over the decades toward "rare to the point of never."
It's a great state in so many ways. But not for CNBC customers, thanks.

I hope Joe talks about how he shafted Obama and Pelosi.
Obama and Pelosi's plan was to force Joe out, kick the obviously unelectable Kamala to the curb, and conduct a "mini-primary" to determine who was really going to be the Democratic candidate.
Joe's immediate endorsement of Kamala short-circuited that.
Thanks, Joe!

the poly whatever it is parasite is something that grows on human waste contaminated farmland, if the human waste carries the parasite. It is either from sewage, casual crapping or contaminated irrigation water. Generally these risks are reduced in small farms. If you know the local farmer you will probably be ok. You could also bug the neighbor who has a garden to put in extra lettuce or beans for you.

Another Treasury regulation was that anyone on benefits is no longer allowed to send money out of the country. That one was a few months ago.
The OBBB also included a (very small) tax on remittances of 1%. It was going to be 5%, but the final text of the bill went down to 1%.
Still, we all know the history of tax rates. It'll be fun to watch that increase over time.

A very old friend of mine came to visit Utah from the Bay Area, one of her friends moved near me and she invited her to go see it. (Yes she didn't come to see ME, but her friend and the new house, but that's another story. We did get lunch though and she payed, which was super kind.) Californians swarmed the housing market after Covid, paying cash and offering above price, freezing out actual Utahns. Sold their postage stamp apartments in CA and got a huge house with land in UT.
So if a list is telling more woke libs to stay away from UT, good, because we need all the help we can get keeping people away.

How much of that was illegals? Probably 3.09%.
So calculating anything off of that baseline is gonna be difficult if not impossible, and a downward trend from there can be a good thing.
NYC lost some ppl, but approximately 70% of the loss was illegals leaving. That's a good thing. I'd be happy if even more would leave.

Eh - Texas just gets more red, and has gotten redder as more people have moved there. Migrants now tend to be on the main refugees from blue policies. I think the only place where the old parasite story might still hold is in Boise. As the NGO funding mechanism that funded the democrat machines continues to dry up and the work on cleaning up voter rolls continues the democrat margin for victory continues to narrow. It is their turn to spend some time in the wilderness.

Depends on where the wire originates from. Real banks require all kinds of ID when opening an account, so they can pretty easily track and cross-reference your ID when you send a wire.

There is a third, and in some ways they are the worst. They are the ones that are productive, hardworking Americans, and on paper and in their daily lives live like a conservative. Fiscally responsible. But they latch onto every woke cause possible, virtue signal every leftist talking point, and often raise the uber daddy rich kids.
A lot of Asian and Indian families I grew up with were this way, as were blue collar kids who went to college and got white collar jobs. They benefit the most from capitalism and the American dream, and yet then teach their kids to believe it's evil. While living like a conservative. Crazy subversive. The hardest to dismiss because they are smart, should know better and be more self aware.
These were the ones Spencer Pratt was trying to appeal to the most. Hard working libs who buy into the lies, but at some point, the reality about how bad liberal policies actually are, and how it's destroying the cities they love, and might finally red pill them.

The thing to keep in mind about the strawberry/fruit sellers in the Home Depot parking lot, or the flower sellers standing in the median at the traffic light.... they're paying off their debt to the cartels/coyotes with those sales. The cartels buy up truckloads of fruit and distribute it to the illegals that pay to cross the border. The cartels don't bother trying to get you to pay in advance, because they make more by having you go into debt to them. And you can't refuse to sell, or run, because they know where your family lives, both here in the US or in Mexico. You run, and a very nice man from the cartel will visit your parents in Chihuahua.
Basically, the fruitsellers are cartel slaves.

Almost half of all DACA recipients reside in California (about 28%) and Texas (around 17%). Other states with significant populations include Illinois (5%), New York (4%), and Florida (4%)
(DACA) appears to be beneficial as far as stability & homeownership. Reportedly, over 30% of DACA recipients are homeowners, and more than 900,000 U.S. citizens live in a household with a DACA recipient, recipients are raising an estimated 300,000 U.S.-citizen children.
As far as employment, 10s of thousands work as nurses, health aides, tech staff in hospitals and care centers. Thousands are bilingual K-12 teachers & educators. They're also represented in agricultural, grocery supply chain, and regional construction workforces.
OTOH, how accurate are TPS stats for the DACA program? Lousy, I would think. And if DACA work permits were revoked... 😬. Seems like solid planning by O & Joe and The American Center for Progress.
Could be a neat package to thwart the Trump administration's deportation efforts, etc. as it seems to fit well into current, highly controversial ICE issues and the underhanded methods of prior Democratic administrations.

Back in the '80s I tried those multi-blade things. Invariably I nicked myself or irritated my skin. Not to mention, every time I went to the store to get a new cartridge, the old ones were gone and there was a new model that required a whole new handle. No thanks.

And the US DoJ does not say in its amicus what you fear. Standard preemption starting on page 14-19 of the brief--first that the tail does not wag the dog--states cannot regulate absent specific allowable areas by Congress, beyond its borders under the Constitution, and the furthermore is that the Clean Air Act precludes any state or locality from regulating because it preempts for the federal government the powers under the interstate commerce clause for air pollutants.
Preclusion does not mean that carbon dioxide is a pollutant (as per the withdrawal of the finding) but rather that states or localities cannot add to the list of air pollutants nor regulate them as those are inherently matters that cross state boundaries.

A fetish tends to focus on a body part or an accessory to the exclusion of entire-body sexuality. Hence, breasts / bras, feet / shoes, legs / stockings.
Oddly, women generally do not tend to have fetishes. They may admire a body part, but it is usually in the context of sex. While you would have no trouble finding a man who is turned on by womens' stockings*, finding a woman who is turned on by mens' feet would be quite a task.

Though these are not scenes from everyday life, no doubt Jerry made good money from such fine works of art featuring very young 'women.'
This painting somehow reminds me of Thumbelina from the Hans Christian Andersen classic fairy tale. Big foliage and rock, small people in comparison.
I'd pass hanging, not at all over boob viewing distress but rather the willies I get considering the possible age of the models and monetary profits gleamed.
Jer could do much better as an artist.

So for example heritage Americans commit 2/3s of the violent crime in America. Ok. But if there are 330M heritage Americans and the left's claimed 10M illegals what do those per capita numbers look like? Even if you take a more realistic number of illegals like 40M that means they are committing crimes at a rate way higher then heritage Americans do.

Pull all government funding. Remove any and all formal ties between the crown and government. Let them keep their properties as tourist attractions and make their money that way (it's apparently substantial) while the government taxes it at 90%.

Pierre Omidyar (Ebay) was funding Bulwark and Kristol from his loose pocket change. Omidyar has French and Iranian ancestry so that might be a clue as to his sensibilities.

French holds simultaneous positions in at least three organizations: Redeeming Babel (Curtis Chang's outfit that runs The After Party curriculum), the Trinity Forum (where he's a senior fellow), and the Kettering Foundation (senior fellow as of 2026). The first two sit inside a $33 million ecosystem called New Pluralists, a collaborative fund operated through Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.

The leftards I know are quick to blame the pandemic - too quick - but I hav thought about it, and believe it's the constant judgment from media and social media that has caused them to withdraw. Leftards don't want anyone happy so this is what they have wrought. I will continue analyzing it but this is what I've landed on for now.
Not a single article I've read has considered this which makes me all the more certain it's a huge contributing factor.

It is a dying Democrat talking point--the grifter GOP class using it got defeated or resigned--Massie, Mace, and MTG. The talking point is dying because almost every single predator named were Dems.
Luttnick was the main GOP type named (Dershowitz was a Dem at the time now GOP) and Luttnick visited Epstein Island with his family apparently including kiddies for a couple of hours. Not exactly the grist that the Dems could use effectively.

Correct.
ICE will just straight up murder you if they decide to, and the administration will cover them.
Anyone who even imagines ICE will target them from illegal immigrants to legal immigrants stewing in leftist agitprop to AWFLs who are afraid of being deported because their families only came here 300 years ago should all just remove themselves from American soil for their own safety.
America is a fascist, dictatorial, totalitarian shithole where brown people are killed for sport by "legal" authorities who then dine on their corpses.

They grew up with smartphones from early childhood. They interact through screens now, not through personal human contact. It's not a mode of communication they ever developed, and it shows plainly on their faces.
It's a problem for them. Wrong place, wrong time. Within a few more decades, most people will be borged-up bugmen Neuralinking each other from their dreary Meta pods, and the dead-eyed inability to follow any social cues will be completely normal.
But for now, large tracts of the population haven't integrated with the digital media corporations yet, so it's difficult for the bugmen to operate in society.

I said at the time they were using their "bad boys" to help take back masculinity while denigrating it at the same time.
Most people probably bristled at the idea but psychology doesn't work on a level that makes sense most of the time. And as "toxic" as Swalwell and Platner actually are, these viral stories help push the masculine bad boy energy back to the Democrats who were sorely missing it after Trump brutalized them for 10 years. And especially in 2024 upon getting shot and appearing as tough as any sonofabitch could.
Anyway there are other things I am correct about, and they will all come out in the wash.

The Morning Report — 7/ 15 /26
Good morning kids. That this has become a cause cé·lèbre among all the usual suspects let alone the incident itself are both barometers of how our nation is on the verge of coming apart at the seams.
A person was fatally shot in Biddeford, Maine, during an encounter with a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer. Witnesses report that the individual who was shot appeared to be attempting to run over the ICE officer before the officer discharged his weapon. . . The shooting in Maine follows another deadly shooting involving ICE in Houston, Texas, last week. Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is also accused of having “rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer,” although this is disputed by passengers presented in the vehicle at the time. Mexico is attempting to sue the U.S. over the incident.
Kamala Harris condemned the ICE agents involved in the fatal shooting of a Colombian national who allegedly tried to run them over in Maine.
William Kristol, the NeverTrump icon and supporter of President George Bush, wants to destroy the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency that protects Americans from nation-changing, wage-slashing mass migration.Yeah, totally shocking that Chlamydia Harris and Kristol meth are blasting away at ICE. But, Markwayne Mullin? The head of the DHS who in that position is running ICE for and at the behest of the man who put him there, President Trump?
“Abolish ICE. Now,” Kristol posted on Monday... Kristol’s support for replacement migration is deeply unpopular among GOP-aligned and swing-voting Americans, largely because of the economic damage. The result is that Kristol and his former-GOP allies at The Bulwark are increasingly aligning themselves with pro-migration Democrats.
In response, Mullin ordered that all ICE officers in the country stop pulling over vehicles in order to do their jobs. The method of pulling over vehicles is one of the most effective and preferred tools for ICE officers, as at-home arrests increase the possibility of danger with access to weapons, according to the Daily Wire, which first reported the directive. At-home arrests also require a judicial warrant, whereas traffic stops do not. In other words, Mullin’s caving means more ICE agents will be put at risk while fewer deportations will be possible.Foreign invading criminals are using lethal force to avoid apprehension and deportation and one of our lead law enforcement officers is ordering his front line agents to essentially stand down and become targets. What Mullin should be doing is standing behind his troops and publicly urging them to do their duty and announce that the use of lethal force to defend one's life in the line o duty will always be our policy. Better put some ICE on those fat putrid lips! It's insanity like this that encourages not only the illegals to invade and remain here but the criminals who use this issue among every other issue under the sun to use violence and intimidation to overthrow America as founded.
. . . revolutionary movements often convince themselves that one spectacular act of bloodshed will awaken the public and spark sweeping political transformation. History shows otherwise, but the fantasy persists because every generation imagines it will succeed where the last one failed. One of the interview’s most compelling moments came during a discussion of what Rothman calls the “permission structure” surrounding violence. Contrary to popular belief, widespread support isn’t necessary. If only a small percentage of the population embraces political violence while everyone else hesitates to condemn it, whether out of fear, tribal loyalty, or ideological convenience, the normalization process begins. Silence becomes accommodation. Accommodation becomes acceptance. Acceptance becomes encouragement.Sadly it's more than a small percentage and it and the others who may not hurl a molotov cocktail but who cheer on those who do make up a frighteningly large percentage of the populace, and all of them are Democrat/Leftists. As I hinted at in previous posts, one cannot debate or otherwise reason with cancer. It must be eradicated, mercilessly, and excised from the body politic root and branch. How we are to do that in a manner that is in keeping with our values, heritage and abhorrence of violence is a big question mark. It is my fervent hope and prayer that the good Lord opens their eyes, hearts and minds to the evil they either perpetrate or otherwise support and make them repent and turn away and back towards a path of righteousness and decency. Before it's too late, for all of us. Have a good day,

President Donald Trump announced on February 28 that the former “supreme leader” was eliminated in the first American airstrikes as part of Operation Epic Fury, a campaign to erode Iran’s ability to pose a threat to its neighbors.

When I was a kid in the early Sixties there, only the first six or seven blocks of Bourbon were Party World. Starting in the block where I lived and running another six or so to its end, Bourbon was residential with service businesses like a hardware store, a barber shop, laundromat, an upholstery shop, a grocery store, etc.
That downriver half of Bourbon is still residential, but those service businesses, I think, are all gone.

That sounds great... to us. Maybe to 20% of the country. But a large swath of people are easily swayed by emotional argument, something the Democrats have been using for decades, and there's the midterms coming up.
Not everything can be done at 100% all the time.
Also, bear in mind that any powers and aggressive stance that we insist federal law enforcement be given, and use vigorously, can, and will, be used against us once the Democrats regain power.

Most of those politicians are paid off by the cartels. If the US lets the trade agreement lapse, legitimate trade gets higher tariffs and less access. It could also be an incentive for the US to go after the banks that handle all of the cartels money laundering.

We spent $958 BILLION on interest payments for the debt last year. We are going to spend over $1 TRILLION to service our debt this year and it is only going to get worse because we are adding $2 TRILLION in new debt each year.

The invasion of the US and the support of it by domestic enemies is only one facet of the present war. A war the left is committed to winning by multiple aggressive and passive methods.
I've brought the subject up here and elsewhere I am often accused of being a Fed plant, and given the recent history of khaki-sunglasses-Jan 6-not-so-secret-police I get how that happens.
So what is the defense? The senate is irretrievably corrupt, the money machine in politics torpedoes effective individual speech, the days of Mister Smith going to Washington were fantasy even when that movie was made, and the America many of us grew up in is long behind us with no path for returning.
What are we to do, other than complain, I mean? The enemies are partly easily identified, and partly well-concealed. Speaking out? Does that have an effect, or are the iPhones hypnotized the masses so well everyone is deaf?
Go ahead and call me a Fed plant if you like, but invaders were once repelled by shot and shell. As far as I can tell the First Barbary War has not ended but has expanded.

I'm sure they are.
However that does nothing to quell the radicalized individuals who act on their own accord. And there are many of them that will act when there's no protest, paid or not.
I have a suspicion there are a lot more of them roaming around, just itching for a reason to ram an ICE agent, stab a counter protester or whatever.
Street violence has been normalized. Either we get used to it or actively do something to quell it.

Perhaps I'm a bit of a Pollyanna, but I have a different interpretation of Mullin's order regarding ICE agents. I thought I read that the pause in pull overs was temporary, pending training in adjusted strategies. It makes sense to me that if their current traffic stop protocol allows the opportunity for attempted ramming, they would adjust their protocol to reduce the opportunities for ramming. Example: suppose officers alter their approach to a vehicle so that they reduce the time spent in its potential path.
In this case, Mullin is NOT caving.

The various wars between the Christians and Muslims for hundreds of years were just another side show in the wars between Everyone and Everyone. They were a bit more flashy about it, and had to walk farther to get there. But the second everyone came back from fighting the Infidels, they went straight back to fighting Larry from across the Danube, or Abu Ben-Booby from the next wadi over.

Like this...
I commissioned the Totally Bullshit, Made Up poll to tell me how the Senate race in Texas was going. They polled 1048 imaginary people and came up with Talarico 78%, Paxton 1%, Some Random Ayatollah 21%.
It's not intended to measure anything, it's intended to convince the weak-willed that something which ISN'T popular is so they will back it to be part of the "in crowd".
Same as it ever was.

Talarico will win with 100% of the turnout, with 100% of the vote. According to my extensive research and polling.

Some teens went on a boat to an island with a bunch of other people.
One of the kids was black and was last seen with a girl.
It's a tragic story. Most likely he was drunk, tried to swim, and drowned.
But now the racists are claiming these long-time friends murdered him and are covering it up.
So not only do those kids have the loss of their friend, they are now all accused of being racist.*
And won't be allowed at his funeral.
Their accusation is actually their confession:
They think it's plausible because they know, if they could, they would murder a white.

More to the point; when said illegal is being helped by interference from rabid Americans, radicalized to use violence against ICE.

I think you’ve hit on it - the entire polling biz is built on the willingness to seize onto a false reality, rather than live with the uncertainty of life.
There is no more comprehensive display of polls uselessness than the Paxton/Cornyn runoff race. Every poll done said it was either tied, or that Paxton had a slight lead.
Paxton won with a 2-1 margin, one of the biggest blowouts in years. Not a single poll saw that coming - not a single poll was within 20 points of the actual result.
Polling in general has become complete garbage. Polling in Texas is double plus sized garbage.

Faculty from 55 elite universities form one towering blue spike of ideology far out on the left, density exploding past 6, with virtually nothing on the conservative side.
This was built through decades of selective hiring, social enforcement, and the systematic purge of dissent.
And because they credential the people who run media, law, government, and tech, the monoculture leaks into every elite institution downstream.

They suspended "non-critical" vehicle stops.
"Critical" vehicle stops continue.
Also, ICE vehicles can follow cars until the cars come to a stop still.
I said it yesterday that the move was mostly PR, and it's increasingly looking like it.
But don't believe me, believe the people who said that immigration enforcement had already come to a complete halt months ago because of the killings of Goode and Pretti caused the administration to be afraid for the midterms. According to these people, ICE stopping all vehicle stops doesn't mean anything anyway because all deportations are done already.

Jashanpreet Singh, 21, an Indian migrant who entered the US under the Biden administration, smashed into seven other vehicles on the 10 Freeway in Ontario in October 2025. Singh pleaded guilty to three counts of felony vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence for the crime last week. He faced up to 10 years in prison, but was sentenced Tuesday to four years and eight months.

"She clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried
“But if I hadn’t brought you in, by now you might have died”
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake
“I saved you,” cried the woman
“And you’ve bitten me, but why?
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in”

It's playing in to the Fake Words game of the ontoclasts. "Activism" is a good thing. It's dynamic. It's productive. It's useful. Everyone wants to be an Activist.
The problem is not that they judges are activists. It's that they're fucking corrupted.

Remove that finding, and the whole regulatory scheme starts to fall apart, leaving the EPA’s climate authority without a real legal footing.
Yet the Justice Department’s position in Suncor Energy v. Boulder County is a mess. While the Trump EPA is trying to unwind the federal climate regime, the DOJ appears to be leaving the door open to the same broad Clean Air Act theory that made the regime possible in the first place. Climate activists will happily exploit that contradiction.

Did ya hear the word salad - losing track with the frequency - from Harris the other day? Anyway, everyone knows her staff put the condemnation of ICE on X, on July 14th, likely after getting just the right nuances from the heavy hitters such as UK Guardian (July 9, July 14) or AP News (July 10), and also Congressman (D-TX) Castro's outrageous press release of July 14.
👉Congressman Castro on ICE: “They've Engaged in Cold-Blooded Murder”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) joined the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) to speak out against ICE’s brutality and the killings of 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas, and of 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine.

As to DHS/Markwayne Mullin
Media outlets are reporting that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered a major retreat on its aggressive mass deportation tactics following intense political backlash and two fatal immigration shootings in a six-day span.
A quiet directive issued by the Trump administration represents a massive, sudden policy reversal after an initial July blitz that saw over 10,000 migrant arrests.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at July 15, 2026 09:47 AM (NFX2v)
Internal data leaked to The New York Times and AP News revealed that ICE kicked off its mid-summer offensive by arresting 10,000 people in a single five-day sprint at the very turn of the month. ICE also booked more detentions than it did during entire months under previous stretches of the Biden administration.
According to reporting from Vox, this record pace was driven by a quiet change in operational strategy. After facing severe public pushback from high-profile city sweeps earlier in the year, ICE leadership ordered agents to use quieter, individual lightning tactics.
This record-shattering trajectory is precisely why the subsequent operational pause—forced by the fatal shootings in Texas and Maine—has been viewed as such a massive, sudden disruption to the administration's core agenda.
Recent economic studies from the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Brookings Institution have shown that intense ICE sweeps trigger a massive "chilling effect" on businesses. For every single undocumented

Democrats' witness opposing Blanche's confirmation is more than an Epstein survivor
Senator Dick Durbin
1d
I’m announcing today that Liz Oyer and Dani Bensky will be the Democratic witnesses in opposition to Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination.
Liz Oyer served as the Justice Department’s nonpolitical pardon attorney. She was fired by Blanche for refusing to rubberstamp gun ownership rights to Mel Gibson, a convicted domestic violence abuser and friend of Donald Trump.
Dani Bensky is a brave survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s horrific crimes. Her name has been included in multiple batches of released Epstein Files, due to Todd Blanche’s failures. She’s attempted multiple times to redact her information without success.
They will offer compelling testimony about the dangers of Todd Blanche weaponizing the Justice Department in service of Donald Trump, rather than the American people.

- With memory being so wildly expensive these days, you might be wondering which memory you should buy.
And the answer is, in most cases, cheap memory. Or the cheapest you can find from a reliable retailer.
Intel has its CUDIMMs and AMD has its ULL memory. They are not worth buying.
For everyday tasks they make no difference, and for gaming the money is far better spent on a AMD Ryzen X3D CPU, or if you have an Intel system, on wishing you had an AMD system. The expanded cache on AMD's X3D CPUs makes memory speed largely irrelevant for most users, even gamers intent on wringing every last drop of performance out of their systems.
Intel will be shipping its own X3D equivalent later this year with its Nova Lake processors, which include up to 288MB of cache, though most users will do fine with half that much.
- Bonsai 27B is the Qwen 27B model squooshed into a bit and a bit. (PrismML)
Native Qwen 27B uses 16-bit floating point, so it needs 54GB of VRAM to run unrestricted. And 54GB of VRAM is quite expensive in the current market.
What the Bonsai process does is to prune it down to ternary or binary with scaling factors per group. In ternary form it fits in 5.9GB of VRAM, while retaining more than 90% of the capabilities of the full model.

This afternoon I have a video tour of another house. It looks great, but it's on the other side of the river from Terre Haute. Which means crossing by means of only two bridges to get to a lot of amenities. The town only has about 2200 residents. I know I said I wanted to live in a smaller community, but --! If you live in such a small place, say within five or ten miles of a larger town to which you have to travel for car repairs, medical, and the like, I'd like to hear your reactions.

Not every kitten does it. None of the Siberians have, possibly because they didn't leave their mothers early to be adopted -- the breeder lady I've had three kittens from doesn't let them go out until they are five months old. On the other hand, big Arizona, the red tabby I adopted in '83 from the SPCA, never did it either, and he was only about six weeks old when I took him home. Maybe it depends to a degree on the personality of the kitten.

I will ask.
My vision was to live in a small city, perhaps 25-50K residents, small enough to get around easily but with various amenities like places to get my car worked on, a hospital or two, plumbers and electricians, etc. if smaller, then a short drive from a bigger town. This town is only about three or four miles west, but involves using one of two river bridges.

I had beers with my friend yesterday and continued them as I've been wrestling with AI to do some -what you would think would be simple tasks.
Only 4 beers. I should get some sleep but I can work now without babysitting Ralphy and carrying him up and down the stairs. Snowflake usually goes out at 5am latest but all today is messed up I guess.
I'll see how this script goes. And there was a large jump.
Here's Snowflake.
Everyone have a great day.

The devices I'm trying to power are stand-alone mini-PC's with lots of network connectors that I purchased from Ali Express back in 2024 (well before the memory debacle we're facing today.) They're going to be the new firewalls at my place and my mother's, running pfSense 2.7.2.
Anyhow, I've ordered three more, with slightly larger barrel connectors, (5.5x2.5) and I'm hoping I get the correct ones this time. The standardization on these things reminds me of that infamous XKCD comic:
https://xkcd.com/927/
Oh, and regarding the new firewalls: Mom has one of those newfangled "smart tv" things, which is great for her and she's really enjoying the stuff she can get on a couple of streaming services.
I want to segment her TV onto its own little VLAN so it can't even try to connect to her computer or see it on the network.
(Never mind me, I'm tech-babblin' here.)

There is, and it's hideous.
There's a story on the local Fox outlet now about an uptown shopping district trying to drum up business during the hottest part of the year. They show people *sitting outdoors* to eat. The notion of paying $$$$ (all those places on the main shopping street are $$$$) to sit outside and sweat is . . . I can't deal, man, I just can't deal. . . .

yesterday . It was lovely . Some exercisers there ( joggers ) are so intent they don't even acknowledge if you say " Good morning" or maybe they are listening to music, but I didn't see any ear devices. We may not be training for the Olympics, but we did turn a bit off the beaten path to look at the lake and so saw a grey as well as a white heron striding in the water looking for fish. On our way back we saw a grey heron in a tree . It looked like it was cleaning itself and so had little pieces of branches or leaves it was pulling off . I think it's too late in the year for making a nest.
We also saw a lot of flowers by the water ( a lovely pink color ) as well as some leaves that had turned bright red on the ground . So nice to be out before it gets really warm.

Good points. A fifteen-minute drive to a Walmart once or twice a week wouldn't kill me -- I do more than that now -- or thirty to a good mechanic, which I also do now.
One nice thing is that the roads I've seen in the smaller town seem to be in much better condition than the side streets in the bigger town.

"It's hell making a living in Canada....."
Ain't that the truth. It absolutely infuriates me knowing that they're taking so much from me in taxes on income, purchases, fees, property, hidden things like carbon charges for energy, and of course at the end of your life, they'll try to claw as much of your estate back from you and your heirs as they can, and that's only going to get worse.
And then I watch them spend not only frivolously on themselves, but they throw a metric shitton of money at foreign governments as gifts and grants, while continuing to deficit-spend us into poverty.
I don't understand why this hasn't completely imploded yet. It really should have.

One of the interesting quirks about Portland, which I have usually lived near but rarely in, is the way that the East Side (east of 82nd Ave) is really the unwanted stepchild. IIRC, people loved the unincorporated land for being cheaper, but building it out without proper utility planning led to septic pollution, so a judge ultimately forced a shotgun wedding and made Portland take responsibility. But the City made the people on the side streets pay for their own paving if they wanted it, so many on that side of town are still gravel to this day.

My image of NYC was formed by TV in the '60s, and movies as well like Sunday in New York and The Odd Couple. The '70s there looked and sounded pretty bad. When I visited in '98, I found the same as you, pretty nice if you stayed in certain areas. I had no interest in fringe places; I stuck with the Upper West Side, midtown, Fifth Avenue, etc. It wasn't what I'd imagined from reading Rex Stout and watching/reading U.N.C.L.E., but it looked pretty good.

When I was a kid in the early Sixties there, only the first six or seven blocks of Bourbon were Party World. Starting in the block where I lived and running another six or so to its end, Bourbon was residential with service businesses like a hardware store, a barber shop, laundromat, an upholstery shop, a grocery store, etc.
That downriver half of Bourbon is still residential, but those service businesses, I think, are all gone.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - July 14, 2026 [Doof]
Storming The Bastille!
Have you seen the bridge? Why truckers say the Gordie Howe bridge changes everything
After years of construction, months of anticipation, and one very public delay, the Gordie Howe International Bridge finally has an opening date – and Canada’s trucking industry says it can’t come soon enough. The long-awaited crossing between Windsor and Detroit will open to traffic on July 27 after Canada, Michigan, and the U.S. government reached an agreement following weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiations over toll revenue and governance. For Stephen Laskowski, president and CEO of the Ontario Trucking Association and Canadian Trucking Alliance, the impact stretches far beyond truck drivers. *** Instead of navigating city traffic and multiple traffic lights, trucks will head straight to a modern border plaza designed to speed up inspections, particularly for agri-food shipments. The result, he said, is faster crossings, better security, and lower operating costs. The trucking industry estimates companies could save anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 annually, depending on the size of their fleet and how often they cross the border. Laskowski also believes having another major international crossing competing for commercial traffic will benefit the entire industry. Competition, he said, drives efficiency.Seems like the truckers should have just said "it'll be a beauty, eh?"
The Cape Bridges project reached a major milestone this week when the Federal Highway Administration approved the project’s final Environmental Impact Statement and issued a formal go-ahead. The action marks the first time that the Highway Administration has approved such a final statement for a roadway project in Massachusetts since 1991 and marks a significant step forward, according to a June 30 press release from the governor’s office. The state Department of Transportation is in charge of the project to replace the Sagamore and Bourne bridges.These new bridges will be used by the staff en route to/from the Northern Command of Doof Enterprises. There is an internal betting pool as to whether or not the Key Bridge near the Mid-Atlantic Command of Doof Enterprises will rebuilt before one or both of the Cape bridges. ----- This sound was a huge part of my pre-teen years!

[In retrospect, Disco Doof does not look favorably upon this]
“Montrose – we were about to explode,” he reflected to Guitar Player. “We were gonna be the American Led Zeppelin, and he couldn’t take it. I don’t know what it was. He was afraid of success. He’d sit there in the studio holding his face like, ‘Oh God, what are we gonna do?’ I’m like, ‘Fuck, let’s jam! Let’s make some music.’” Ronnie Montrose was one of the most in-demand session men in rock, having laid down guitar parts for the likes of Van Morrison, Edgar Winter, Herbie Hancock, and Boz Scaggs. Fancying his own project, he formed his namesake band in 1973 with a young Hagar behind the mic, cut the Montrose and Paper Money LPs before Hagar was fired, precipitating his solo career. Such fraught relationships with his band members and the routine dismissal of new recruits would scupper whatever momentum Montrose had enjoyed. “I’ve never seen a guy like that,” Hagar added. “He fired everybody. The second you had one smidgen of success with him, he broke up the band.” Montrose would continue without Hagar, but the hard rock explosion they promised was never realised, their founding guitarist smoothing the sound to a funkier direction with Bob James fronting the new style while Van Halen was conquering the Billboard charts. A string of solo albums would follow across the 1990s before he sadly took his own life in 2012.

Note the new hash tonight. I'm baby sitting my mother at the nursing home the first night this time. I want to make sure all the getting out of bed out of her head tendency is gone. It appears to bed.
They told me this was not allowed at all. Nope, nope, nope. But, well, they couldn't force me to leave. If they needed to do that, they'd have to call the cops, and unless I was doing something that warranted being arrested, well they wouldn't call said cops.
And they added there's no official visiting hours, so....

We started doing fellowship dinners at church, sometimes on feast days - just to have a reason to get together. We were going to do one (maybe) on the Feast of the Martyrdom of John the Baptist. I wanted to do a cake on a silver platter - head-shaped.
For some reason we didn't manage to get that fellowship dinner together. /sigh/

Had a good round today but my buddy had a fall. He's a lot older and he slipped on a chip shot near a pond. Damn near fell in. He'll be out for a few weeks. Meanwhile I'm nursing a bottle of wine while it nurses me after sprinting 70 yards to get him up and secured.

As one approaches elder years a best exercise is practicing getting up off the floor. It uses most muscles and demands strength and coordination. Do 5 a day.

There are quite a few old time radio programs that are largely available today only because they were recorded to disk and mailed overseas for military broadcasts on AFRTS.
One of the more popular (I guess) radio programs of all time was “Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons” and ran for over 20 years, but less than 50 episodes are extant.

I went over this with Grok (which is great for this kind of specific thing), to make sure I had it straight in my head.
Their local reference frame was inertial and "aligned with the fixed stars" frame (Mr. Einstein and spacetime curvature ignored as they are vanishingly small here). This frame was called the "Basic Reference Coordinate System" strangely enough and was very, very close to the standard astronomical frame know as ECI. X axis points to the equinox and the Z axis is aligned with the earth's pole.
So, your 8-ball horizon would be the equatorial plane of the Erf.
The origin of that was the center of the Erf but they switched to the Moon's center when the spacecraft entered the lunar sphere of influence. But the XYZ axes maintained the ECI like alignment.

The answer from the tiktokiots is...raise the minimum wage! Or...have the government give people more money by taxing whoever they don't like this week.
But costs aren't supposed to be going up...they are supposed to be going down. Look at TVs. You can buy a TV better then the best TV 20 years ago for 1/5th the price and in modern Bidenbux no less!
This is the same progression everything you buy should have gone through over the last 20 years. Why hasn't it? Well...government. Everything government gets involved with explodes in cost and then of course the cost of that government further spikes costs via inflation.
So the answer? STOP THE SPENDING. Let's have a few years with no cash transfers outside of SS at the state or federal level. You want someone to be able to live ok off a McDs salary? You'll get it. Just like what happened with TVs but now with everything.

1967 was kind of the watershed year, when many many sitcoms and programs and news affiliates started filming & broadcasting in color. I vaguely recall my parents, who were not poor, getting a new Color television for one of the Apollo missions.

There is sunken Liberty ship, SS Richard Montgomery, which has been sitting in the Thames estuary since 1944 with its masts sticking above the water as if warning passing ships to steer well clear.
And ships are well advised to steer clear as the wreck contains some 1,400 tonnes of explosives aboard that have never been removed.
Now the British are going forward with a daft scheme to cut away the masts and display them ashore. The same masts which are a big clue to other ships to stay out of the exclusion zone.
What could go wrong? The Francis Scott Key bridge fiasco would like to have word with the British.

Thomas Paine was imprisoned there after being sentenced to die. The jailers put a chalk mark on the outside of the cell doors for those scheduled for the guillotine.
Paine writes that they omitted him because his cell door was open, & so they didn't notice the chalk mark. No problem. Just correct the mistake on the following day.
That night, Robespierre fell. Thus, Paine writes, his life was saved.

More clarification on the 8-ball horizon. The Basic Reference Coordinate System, very close to modern ECI, was the master inertial frame. At any time, the current alignment of the IMU might vary. The particular alignment in use at any time was dubbed the REFSMMAT, "Reference to Stable Member Matrix". This was a rotation matrix, 3D, which described the relative rotation to the BRCF.
So, the 8-ball horizon, would be whatever happened to be the XY plane of the given REFSMMAT.

Get yourself on your hands and knees. Pick one leg, whichever is your stronger and better balance leg and move from your knee to your foot. Put the hand on the side of that leg on your knee and support yourself with your foot and the opposite hand that is still on the floor. Then move your other leg from your knee to your foot so now you are crouching on both feet. Then stand up.
Practice that a few times a day until it become second nature.

Today I had (x 3 million it feels like) a skin biopsy due to my vast history of skin cancer for now most of my life. Which is nothing compared to what others face.
The only good thing about it is seeing the freaks of people who are at this university hospital, walking the halls. I saw one tattoo "visitor" with a man who looked worse than her...and she had at least 3 septum cattle rings. A group of med students walked by saying, "they are dropping like flies." They did not come from the door where I'd be called.
The MD, RN and ARNP told me I was delightful to meet. I asked my husband later if they were mocking me and he said, no, that I am very entertaining.
I have no idea what I yammered about as when under a tiny bit of stress things flow. I am used to biopsies and would rather not be there, but I am a delightful patient to meet.
Heaven knows compared to the freaks I saw in the hallways I would agree with them. They are probably a lot stupider than me as well.

We had one of those. We had a couple different Griswold family trucksters, faux wood paneling of course, including a Pontiac Bonneville 455 which I eventually inherited when it was well into beater territory.

A cool thing when we took road trips was stopping somewhere to have a picnic. Parents did not have the money to stop and eat at a restaurant. There weren't fast food places back in the olden days.
It used to be safe to pull over where there were picnic tables to picnic and kids could run around.

Instead I had an ejector car seat with a plastic steering wheel. I also used to stand in the back of my mother's red Pontiac convertible and at stop lights warn others that my mother was driving and to get out of the way (I was said to be 2yrs old). My parents did not care if I was ejected.
My husband (same age) was a wicked toddler who would rock his crib to the dresser and climb down and apparently wake everyone. There was some sort of straight jacket for toddler's cribs and his horrible parents used one on him. In spite of them he's the best of the litter in all ways.

Maybe when they're done celebrating their underwhelming, symbolic little jailbreak they can all go ahead and ritualistically burn themselves in a nationwide auto-da-fé as an act of contrition for their excesses in the Vendeé.
Might as well celebrate the salient point of the Revolution, after all.
They can go ahead and fuel the pyre with all existing copies of the sheet music for the Marsellaise, for good measure. Their subsequent insults against and G-d and man alike in the modern era and their pitiful submission to Islam warrant the execration of their national memory.

We always did that. It wasn't just a money thing, we loved it. Rest areas used to be a lot nicer and we would drive to places like the Adirondacks or the coast for family trips.

Many rest stops along the highways are still very nice and seem safe. Others not so much. A couple of years ago I happened to be driving east from El Paso on I10 and the sun came up in an absolutely beautiful sunrise in the middle of nowhere in Texas just as I came upon a rest stop. I pulled over and the ground was covered in trash. I quickly got my photo and left, a little worried about running over something that might puncture a tire.

Isometric exercise. Visualize and do. Pull the navel to the spine as close as possible, tighten, hold for 10. Repeat ten times. Do it before arising in the morning. It also helps to draw the knees up before beginning. Do it while driving. While walking is advanced.
While driving hold the wheel at 3 & 9 pressing hands toward each other then do the isometric.

It's mostly not appropriate for men to talk about the things they really like and want to do so "beat me up mommy" works as something of a publicly acceptable substitute.

My grandfather was a professor but also did consulting with various industries but he hated to fly. So he was a big road trip guy and he and my grandmother loved taking me and sister along. We drove to Florida a couple times which was a big deal back then and that's when I got introduced to Stuckey's. Whoa. Also saw my first and last Sambo's in Florida.

I am not so committed to French that I want change my preferred language: it’s just that if you try to type French on the fly with English as your preferred language, you’ll need to check every word to see that it hasn’t “corrected” it to the closest English equivalent. Interestingly, c’est drôle passes autocucumber muster with no changes. Must be used often enough in English to be accepted.

I had to just kind of weeble-wobble back and forth like a flipped turtle until I could get on all fours and crawl back upstairs, since I was alone in the house.
Got myself to the freezer in the kitchen and hauled myself up to where I could grab some ice and whiskey. After a couple hours of ice and whiskey, I got to standing with the help of the counter and some shelves, splinted the thumb with chopsticks and duct tape, retrieved the phone and called my girlfriend for help.
At the end of it, I felt more sorry for poor Sancho than myself. You never saw a more pathetic dog in your life. He thought he killed me and just stood there crying the whole time.

Oh, the car.
My car broke down in Balmorhea, TX and there was no fixing it within 100 miles. The AAA guy took about four hours to get there. He offered to buy it from me and tow me to El Paso, where I could fly the rest of the way home.
It was mebbe a 3-hour drive. I get in the cab with him and I hear "Hello!" His wife was in the back, with -- a little girl. Then another little girl rolled out of nowhere. Then a third hopped out of nowhere else. Not in many years have I seen kids hop, fly, lie down, dance, bounce around, and defy gravity inside a moving vehicle the way those kids did. Every now and then the dad would stretch his arm back and snap his fingers very emphatically, they'd calm down for 30 seconds and start flying around again. Funniest jumble of a ride I ever had. I had fun talking to those people.

The bartender beats the guy up and throws him out.
The following night the guy returns and makes the same order. "One beer for me, one for you, and one for everyone who's here!" The bartender thinks "He can't be that brazen. He must have money today."
So he serves beer to everyone. Again the man walks out after he's done. "Hey! What about the bill?" "I don't have any money."
The bartender beats the man up again and throws him out.
Third night. The man says: "One beer for me and one for everyone who's here in the bar." The bartender asks "What about me? Don't I get a beer?
"No. You get way too aggressive when you drink."

That sounds like fate, or God’s Providence. I know that after I met my wife in science fiction circles in New Orleans in 1991, I had already seen her from the Masquerade at NolaCon II, the 46th World Science Fiction Convention, held in New Orleans in 1988. She was in a group display with several of her friends. I actually saw her backstage as I was helping a friend photograph the costumes. Didn’t meet her till 1991 when we were introduced by a mutual friend at the wedding of a Marine Captain who was also a science fiction fan and a mutual friend, just not the one who did the introductions.

Balmorhea! We stopped there once to go to the famous swimming area. Well worth it! The best swimming pool in the absolute middle of nowhere you’ll ever find. Like 2 huge swimming pools joined together at right angles except it’s 25 feet deep and at the bottom there’s a river bed with boulders and aquatic plants and fish. People bring scuba gear to go down into it.
But you’re right , it is a long way from anywhere! Real close to that “Y” where I-20 and I-10 join up (if you’re headed west)

The American public is already sick of the war, and the DEMs know that. That's why they blocked the Defense Authorization bill today.

Not quite true. The public was sick of high gas prices, because that affects them personally. But most don’t give a shit one way or the other about the actual war.
Which is the primary reason I have been advocating, do whatever we can to have full control of shipping through the straits. The rest of the country can go hang as long as we control that COMPLETELY.

Il n'y a pas de fin à ce qu'ils prendront
Afficher les fruits de la naissance noble
Laver le sel dans la terre
Mais ils marchent pour le jour de la Bastille
La guillotine réclamera son prix sanglant

Eh bien, le roi doit s'agenouiller pour laisser son royaume s'élever

Peur nue sur chaque visage
Voyez-les incliner la tête pour mourir
Comme nous nous inclinions quand ils sont passés
Et ils marchent pour le jour de la Bastille
La guillotine réclamera son prix sanglant
Chantez, ou chœurs de cacophonie
Eh bien, le roi s'est agenouillé pour laisser son royaume s'élever
Leçons enseignées mais jamais apprises
Tout autour de nous, la colère brûle
Guider l'avenir par le passé
Il y a longtemps, le moule a été coulé
Car ils ont marché vers le jour de la Bastille
La guillotine a remporté son prix sanglant
Entendre les échos des siècles
Eh bien, le pouvoir n'est pas tout ce que l'argent achète

Well, here's what my bot said:
Although Rhea is an Irish (and also Scottish) surname, Balmorhea itself is not an Irish name.
The town's name is an invented combination of the surnames of its founders and developers:
Bal — from Ernest D. Balcom
Mor — from H. R. Morrow
Rhea — from John and Joe Rhea
Together they formed Bal-Mor-Rhea, which became Balmorhea.
So the ending "-rhea" comes from the surname Rhea, which does have Irish roots in many families, but Balmorhea is a uniquely Texan place name rather than a name of Irish origin. It's pronounced BAL-muh-RAY, not "bal-mor-HEE-uh."

My maternal grandmother put my mom on a tether, and she was born in.. what.. like 1945? 46? Admittedly it was considered very peculiar at the time, but many decades later she was diagnosed with ADD, once it was a thing that doctors were equipped to recognize. (And it has to be pretty severe to spot it in an adult, after they've developed a range of coping mechanisms.) It was likely a matter of simple necessity.

I don't know why spending hours and hours making sausage is fun. It sure is a lot of work! And it makes a holy cow of dirty dishes. But my 11yo loves helping me run the Kitchen Aid grinder attachment.
My wife was away the last five days in Victoria with her mother & sisters. I had a great time taking over the cooking (for myself and the six kids): pad kee mao, pah see ew, pulled pork, kugua niurou (1/3 with kugua and 2/3 with bok choi to keep the kids happy), and beef barbacoa. But if I had to do this full time, the whole house would fall apart. Thank goodness she got home today.
The Costco here sells pork shoulders in pairs, so I'm trying to use the other one. And the liver from the last two or three half-cows that we never use. 5 pounds of shoulder for sausage and 3 for capicola. As usual with my meat projects, the capicola will be ready just in time for a fast. At least we have a few days to eat it this time. . . .

A genuine 1980 photograph shows the supertanker Esso Languedoc being struck by a massive rogue wave off Durban, South Africa. Captured by the ship's chief officer, the image remains one of the most famous examples of extreme ocean conditions. The photograph captured what many scientists once considered nearly impossible: a rogue wave. Taken in 1980 as the oil supertanker Esso Languedoc sailed off Durban, South Africa, it shows a towering wall of water rising far above the ship's bow. The crew estimated the wave reached around 25--30 meters (82--98 feet) high. For much of the 20th century, rogue waves were often treated as sailor's tales because traditional wave models suggested such extreme events were almost impossible. Images like this, combined with eyewitness accounts, helped change scientific understanding. Later advances in satellite monitoring, ocean buoys, and modeling confirmed that rogue waves are real and can form when multiple wave systems combine their energy into a single massive crest. The waters off South Africa are especially dangerous because powerful Southern Ocean swells can collide with the strong Agulhas Current, creating unpredictable sea conditions. In 1995, the Draupner oil platform in the North Sea recorded the first scientifically measured rogue wave, a 25.6-meter (84-foot) wave that provided definitive proof these extreme events exist.

Man, was I watching a freaky thing about blindness and schizophrenia today. It turns out blind people don't get schizophrenic, because schizophrenia is some mismatch between an expected sensation (visual in this case) and a delivered sensation. People who are blind from birth have no expected sensation, so they never get a mismatch.
It got me to wondering how they build up their library of expected sensations if they get eyesight later in life.

My future ex husband and I were on a hiking trip along the western WA coast up by Shi Shi beach. We had a friend’s doggo with us, a lab mix named Fido. Great dog.
So we walked along the rocky beach, over huge logs and found a really big log that reached out over the water. We all walked out on the log to check it out. My ex plopped down, cracked a beer and gave a big huzzah.
Fido and I looked at each other and walked back about 200 feet and sat down.
Not two minutes later, a sneaker wave built up and completely douched my ex sitting on the log. It completely covered him. As it receded, he was clinging to the log, soaking wet, rocks in his beer, gasping for air.
Fido and I were laughing. Never seen a dog laugh before. This dog was laughing.

I was about 25 feet from the shore off Oahu, busy beach, lots of people. But I was in a spot that I couldn’t make headway. I would swim as hard as I could just to stay in one spot, and then try to gain some distance when the wave started coming in. It was exhausting. When I finally got back on land I decided to stay there for a while.

Ugh, I got caught in a rip once, also barely offshore, but FUCK, I couldn't touch the bottom and I couldn't get back. It was a cold beach, and my wetsuit was waterlogged. Finally got back in somehow. I was thinking at the time, if I'd had a phone on me while I was being slapped by waves from both directions (waterproof of course) I'd have been tempted to dial 911.

Trying to fight a riptide is how a lot of people drown. Even strong swimmers can be beaten by a strong riptide.
Ride the rip until you are out of it and then swim to shore.

Is this a case of "names changed to protect the innocent?"
If not, that's amazing. Everyone knows "Fido" is a dog's name, but that's literally the first real-life contemporary "Fido" I've heard of. I've only heard it used in movies and cartoons and stuff, or stories from a century ago.

If you get caught in a rip, swim parallel to the shore to get out of it. Then swim or wade in.

There's a couple which are still talking about the US despite being back in the UK and indicating that they want to return and are considering emigrating. But most were bullshit.

Rips don't just go out to see, they also run parallel to the shore. Around here that is very common. And if you try to swim through it most will get carried down the beach and out anyway and be exhausted when they do get out.
So yea, don't fight the rip. Ride it until you are out of it then swim to shore.

One day a new guy gets assigned to the boat and chief walked up to him and told him that he's been assigned as chief's underway wife. Guy gulped and asked what that meant. Chief tells him that they bunk together, shower together, that sort of thing.

Inflation Fell by the Greatest Amount Since 2020, Due to the Suspension of the Iran War
Unfortunately this False Peace is now over.
But one can see the inflation was only due to Iran blowing up oil ships transiting the Strait.Indeed, now that the psychopaths of Iran have forced the US to begin pounding them again, oil prices have shot back up.
Inflation slowed in June by its largest monthly drop since April 2020 on falling energy prices -- slashing the odds the Fed will raise interest rates at its meeting this month. The Consumer Price Index rose 3.5% in June over the past 12 months, cooling off from 4.2% in May, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Tuesday. On a monthly basis, the inflation rate declined 0.4% -- more than expectations of a 0.2% dip. Core CPI -- the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, which excludes volatile food and energy prices -- ticked down to 2.6%, still well above central bankers' 2% goal. ... "Tuesday's weaker-than-expected CPI print suggests the inflation surge driven by the Iran war is fading, but this may just be a temporary relief as tensions have escalated in recent days," Skyler Weinand, chief investment officer at Regan Capital, said in a note Tuesday.
Trump's idea that he would charge ships the US was protecting a 20% charge has been retracted.
Blockade underway: The US has reimposed its naval blockade of Iranian ports, according to a US military statement. The US previously enforced a blockade between April and June. • Ceasefire in tatters: The US military has also launched its fourth consecutive day of strikes on Iranian targets. State media reported explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas and several locations near Sirik. Meanwhile, Iran has targeted US allies in the region, including Kuwait. • Trump rescinds toll decision: US President Donald Trump announced earlier he will not impose a 20% reimbursement fee on cargo moving through the Strait of Hormuz, saying it will be replaced by Gulf state investments in the US. • Oil prices rise: Global oil prices are up sharply, with benchmark Brent crude rising to its highest level in over a month.
President Trump backed off his proposed 20% toll on all ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday in favor of investment in the US by Persian Gulf states. Trump said in a Truth Social post the reversal was "[b]ased on highly productive conversations with Middle East Leadership." "Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future," he added. Trump also claimed that exports of oil were "flowing like never before" thanks to recent US airstrikes on Iran, and "the Strait of Hormuz is open to All Ship traffic except for Iran -- and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION." ... Trump announced the new tolling scheme on Monday, declaring that the US would be the "guardian" of the Strait of Hormuz and would collect a reimbursement equal to 20% of all cargo value, which one shipping industry expert predicted could amount to $200 billion annually. "We'll become the guardian of the strait. Maybe we'll call it the guardian angel of the strait, and we should be reimbursed for that," Trump had suggested during an interview on "Fox & Friends."The US is pounding IRGC headquarters and weapons depots, as well as naval assets on the coast.

Inflation is a monetary phenomenon. Commodity price increases do not cause inflation. Prices rise, demand falls.
Government spending causes inflation and Trump crushing grants and DEI garbage is reducing the money supply, lowering inflation.

If you want to know what monetary inflation does, note that oil hovered around $2 a barrel for about 20 years.
Interestingly enough, Corn was at times, $2 a bushel in the 1910s. And the 1920s. And the 1930s. And the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s
And the 1980s, and the 1990s. And the … forget it. You get the idea.

Trump administration has no long term plan. He always acts on impulse. No strategic thinking at all
Trump was played by Israel. Convinced it would be easy. Every president for the past several decades was smart enough to know this was a losing battle. Trump is not smart enough to understand this. He is also making hundreds of millions as he manipulates markets. So he doesn’t care.
Absolutely agree. Trump is clutching at straws desperate for control. In order for him to ever have any element of control he’d need to destroy Iran which could take years of more war
We need China to somehow get dragged into this and actually put America in their place
I think if you unilaterally launch a war on the other side of the world, you totally deserve to FAFO.

Maybe because we just found it. Or maybe it wasn't being used until now.
Target lists change. They evolve. New ones emerge. I know people want to hear that if you have a really spiffy plan you can with 100% certainty win a war in three weeks or whatever your preferred time frame is, and if the war doesn't end, why then the plan was crap! Fire the generals! Trump lied!!1
But in reality, we have to accept tradeoffs and limitations. Iran was always going to be a tough nut to crack and I'm absolutely sure that I went back in time and did a poll on this Smart Military Blog asking how many people thought Trump would smash Iran's nuclear program, gut its missile, air and sea power, completely isolate it from the Muslim world AND do it while keeping oil under $100 a barrel with less than two dozen American casualties, I bet the universal opinion would be that I was smoking Jackstraw's whole stash at once.

No, they want to understate the true nature of the currency devaluations because Social Security and other government salary scales are COLA dependent.
It is difficult to make comparisons over time, even if one isn’t being purposefully deceitful.
But people somehow raised a family as a single breadwinner. Mom stayed home with the kids. They could afford to buy a house. Maybe not a big house, but it was theirs. They could afford to buy a car. Medical expenses did not bankrupt people.

I don't think Trump should have sold as hard as he did that he was going to bring prices down.
His claim for 3+% growth in his first term turned out to be based on something, so I was hopeful that maybe he knew a way to decrease prices.
But, it wasn't that realistic of an expectation. Though, we'll see.

I have a study of the Iran - Iraq war. Everything you said is absolutely spot on...but there is room to wiggle with "gutting its missile power" part. They missile war between Iran and Iraq suggests they are really good at building and launching missiles...pretty darned quickly and cheaply. They prepped for it.

I see the thought process: maybe Iran complies and we accomplish our goals quickly and peacefully. If not, they're the ones that broke the deal, which gives us political cover for military action.
The problem is no one actually cares about the political cover excuse, and the negotiations were destined to fail. Best to have obliterated them from the start to finish things as far from the midterms as possible...unless there was an ulterior motive (like we needed time to rearm advanced weapons and target critical sites after the Iranians reorganized).

And it should reduce spending to as much as it can get away with.
Because it’s really simple: to tame inflation, a society must spend its money on 1) a good or 2) a service. Government is neither. In fact, imagine how much inflation would come down if a budget was announced, it was balanced, and ther was even money to patty down a portion of the debt.

Whether you like the way Trump and team are going about this systematic destruction of Iran until they relent they obviously have a plan. They might adjust as conditions warrant but it's beyond obvious he doesn't want to flatten Iran the way some want, he wants to leave a somewhat functioning country behind. All those millions of innocent Iranian people many were concerned about at the start of the war are going to need a somewhat functional country. He also has a region full of new allies and he probably is getting asked not to create a flood of immigrants looking for a place to go.

You as a citizen and voter need to suffer equally within reason. Besides 14% (your side and employer side) of SSI people need to pay about 5 to 7% of their income in taxes even if they make $100k as a family.
April 15th needs to hurt like a snake bite.
Long term gains need to approach zero in about year 3 to 5.
If you put up $100k in 2026 and it is worth $300k in 2029 govt gets about $60k, for zero skin in the game.
In the 3rd year it should be 5% or so as that $100k let the company work, build, pay employees, pay taxes, and improve the USA.

I recently read an excellent book called "Queen Victoria's Little Wars". Punitive expeditions against tiresome locals (usually Muslim) was extremely common. Because British and Empire casualties were quite low, there wasn't much reaction to the umpteenth war along what is now the Pakistani border.
But the trick is to get retards (our retards, the left's retards are incorrigible) to stop sperging every time force is being used somewhere. This site is full of people who claim to hate Islam, and yet a approach that treats them like weeds that have be periodically whacked is responded to as though it is the same as a peer conflict with ground troops.

Iran is getting smacked silly on a world-historic scale. Iran's literally hoping that we stop because are arms get tired. Or maybe our fists get tender from breaking their nose 20+ times.
This is not like the Southern Watch/Northern Watch with Saddam in the 1990s. Iran has been pulverized. We're sailing suicide drones into their harbors. They have no money, only small arms, and all their neighbors hate them.

When I went to grad school I bought a cheap house. Two bedroom, one bath, about 800 square feet.
Built in the late '40s, just post-WWII with no upgrades to speak of since. I penciled it out and figured I could save money plus not have to deal with a landlord.
I bought it from the family of an old lady who was going into care. She and two husbands raised four kids in that two bedroom, one bath, 800 square foot house.
You can't even legally build an 800 square foot house in many locations nowadays.
That's how they were able to "afford to buy a house".

Back in the 80s during the tanker wars we welded stanchions all over our ships to mount extra .50 cals on them. My buddy was on an FFG and they stopped in the philippines on their way to the gulf and they pulled out two WWII twin 40mm AA mounts and welded them to the bridge wings before they were deployed to the gulf. Those stupid iranian suicide boats were everywhere back then. Fun times.

So Zhang Youxia was supposedly purged in February, but his name is still on the PLA web site. He was (is?) the vice-chair of the Central Military Commission, which is the C2 for the entire PLA. Orders flow not from the President, but from the CMC, which the President (Xi Jinping) chairs.
This guy is one of their last combat vets and has a massive patronage network. He was Xi's ally but has been betrayed. Xi is purging his own guys. There are rumors that there will be a coup on or after 8/1, the PLA's birthday. The PLA has to be able to celebrate it, and the parades will give cover to move troops to Beijing.

The goal doesn’t have to be to make them surrender, the goal is to make them stop throwing missiles at their neighbors and funding proxy armies all over the Middle East. They’re like the mule that has to be hit over the head with a 2x4 to understand anything; and they’re especially stubborn asses, so they will probably have to be hit over the head a couple of hundred times before it starts to sink in that “hey this sucks.”

Well as TJM often notes, a lot of that traffic is going through pipelines now, but you are correct that getting tankers to go through the strait and stop being scaredy-cats would be extremely helpful. You probably would have to replace the dot Indians who run these ships (presumably at cut-rate wages), with slightly more doughty sailors though.
Maybe we can guarantee the oil in Gulf Monarchy tankers if they replace the incompetent and easily scared dot Indians in the crews?

Possibly, if as part of the deal is the IGRC gets bought off and some other set of factions moves into control that will spin down the worldwide mullah terror army. Problem is that the IGRC gonna be the loser if that happens so they vote no and pop off a drone to demonstrate it.

An Army buddy of mine used to do the Helmstedt Autobahn weekly back in the day. He discovered that for a few Playboys and bottles of bourbon, he could trade for anything with the Russian guards. He showed up one day at work in a complete Russian Captains uniform. All traded for at the border.

The big difference is, the US has the capability and resources to pull off otherwise impossible movements in seemingly minimal time. Throw enough money around, and you can get contractors and foreign nations to assist moving virtually unlimited amounts of personnel and equipment. And there are thousands of planners at all echelons with movement plans involving rails, ships, aircraft, etc, to all parts of the world. It IS incredibly complex, and kind of a modern miracle that the US can execute it so well. Our ability to project force globally is what really defines us as a superpower above all other nations.

Yeah, I was a kid, but some things you remember. We got the Checkpoint Alpha briefing with the slide show on a slide projector (!) and as it ended the soldier giving the brief said “One last thing - no trading with the Soviets. Yes, they WILL ask.” Sure enough, at each stop, the Soviets would try trading items with the old man. He got in the truck (compact four banger that was probably a Lamborghini compared to the Trabbis) at one point and said “The Russians are comical.”

151 but mounting 50 cals on even cargo ships with military crews would see those boats off.
There’s been a video on X of a Russian training exercise I wish I had the link to! They’ve got a pair of AA machine guns on a swivel mount, the trainee gets behind and fires. Well it starts to spin like a mad merry go round, WHILE firing continuously, he’s hanging on with his hands while his legs are flying behind before he’s spun off, and everyone hits the deck as the gun is now firing in a wild 360 degree pattern til the magazine gives out.
I swear, that’s gotta be the most Russian thing ever.

Rather an odd designation.
Posted by: Mike Hammer
Naval guns, as I understand, use an old, unusual system of terminology (like everything else in the navy). The first number is the barrel diameter (3 inch). The second number is the length of the barrel. 50 caliber mean 50 times the barrel diameter, so 150 inches.

No one, among the countries that can, us being one of the few, do wide area bombing anymore. It is considered impolite and only polite wars are allowed. Every thing is pin point attack which can designate a .00001% of that area.

Iran doesn’t have to possess the straight to control it. They only need to plausibly threaten it and get one or two major players to go along, i.e. China and EU.

Iran can say they block the straight all they like, but for China the US Naval Blockade is the one that matters. The recent cease fire got a few ships out toward China but Iran closing the straight means China gets no oil.

Russia is finding that out the hard way. Over that last couple of weeks, the Uke’s anti naval drone program has hit over 100 Russian tankers and cargo ships on the Black Sea / Sea of Azov.

Charity used to start and stay in the local community but the federal government in the 60s decided they were going to be "compassionate" and take over helping people over their rough spots. johnson and his great society put this country on a downward spiral that continues to grow at an exponential rate. (Truth. Charity is part of civil society. Government used to shut up and let civil society run rampant. Now government is AT WAR with civil society because as long as it exists people can turn to it and not politicians.)

Ana Paulina Luna has been holding up all legislation until the traitor Thune forces the SAVE Act through. Mike Johnson has offered Luna attaching as the SAVE Act is attached to a bill funding the State Department. Mitch McConnell's Rent-Boy has already said he'll strip it out.
The U.S. House will vote this week on a bill making daylight savings time permanent, despite warnings from medical, education and safety organizations. The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025, which would end the nearly nationwide biannual clock changing and make daylight savings time permanent year-round, advanced out of committee Monday afternoon. States that use standard time year-round -- currently only Arizona and Hawaii -- before the law goes into effect wouldn't have to change.
Yeah he doesn't care. The entire purpose of the GOPe is to betray and restrain conservative voters. They're proud to do it. Mamdani ran on a platform of bringing rents down. Despite thousands of people fleeing the shithole city of NYC, rents just hit their highest levels in history.
Johnson has said he'll facilitate a process that would attach the SAVE American Act to a bill to fund the State Department. Luna and other Republicans believe the maneuver will make it hard for the Senate to oppose the funding packages. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said she'll support a procedural rule that would allow the House to consider a bill to fund the State Department and a measure to make daylight savings time permanent. "We will try the MIRV process on the condition that Speaker Johnson attaches the SAVE America Act to all the appropriation bills and all must-pass bills here in the House and ensures it is sent to the Senate as one bill," Luna said on X. The vote to reopen the House floor on Tuesday would end a power struggle between Luna and Speaker Mike Johnson over the election security bill, the SAVE America Act, Politico reported. Johnson has said he'll facilitate a process that would attach the SAVE American Act to a bill to fund the State Department. Luna and other Republicans believe the maneuver will make it hard for the Senate to oppose the funding packages. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said he won't go for the plan, and Luna's statement put pressure on the South Dakota Republican to reconsider. "If John Thune strips it out in the Senate that will be on him and the entire country should be watching what he does. If he wants to actively work against Voter I.D. & the SAVE America Act he must face the consequences of his actions. His State party should censure him and/or he should be primaried if he wants to betray his constituents in this manner. That is the nature of politics," Lunsa said.
Under the leadership of race-communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, rent in Manhattan has risen to an all-time high of $5,295 a month, representing a nearly 10 percent increase year-over-year. ... With the cost of living booming and Mamdani backing a "tax the rich" agenda to pay for his hyped-up socialist policies, New York City seems to be dying. A study from the New York Post showed that the city lost nearly $11 billion in tax revenue after a mass exodus of millionaires. Meanwhile, 40 percent of New York City's units are occupied by foreign born tenants, many of whom filled vacancies left after caravans fled the city during the COVID pandemic.Mamdani and his communists are doing such a great job they've voted themselves all a massive pay raise.
NYC Council members want to give themselves 18.2% pay hike -- and set automatic increases every year after
Pay yourself first -- over and over again! Shameless city lawmakers are pushing to give themselves eye-watering 18.2% raises -- in a scheme that will also give them automatic pay hikes of at least 2% every year in the future. City Council Member Nantasha Williams (D-27) introduced a bill that would inflate her and her colleagues' salaries from $148,500 to $175,500 backdated to January, while also ballooning pay for the mayor, the City Council speaker and other elected positions. The bill comes days after the lawmakers signed off on a record-breaking $126 billion city budget and includes salaries even higher than a 16% raise the council tried to sneak by in a similar bank-account boosting measure at the end of their session last year. And the bill also ensures taxpayers will be on the hook to pay elected officials more every year -- with no requirement for public debate or a City Council vote.
Under the proposed law, if the council doesn't vote to hike salaries for four years, raises kick in anyway, at either 2% per year or 8.25% overall -- whichever is less. ... The mayor's salary would also get boosted from $258,750 to $305,800 and Council Speaker Julie Menin's would rise from $164,500 to $194,000 -- though both leaders have said they wouldn't take the pay bumps. Mamdani hasn't taken a stance on whether he was in favor of the hikes and said he'd leave it for the City Council to debate.

Fuck you.
The author of an acclaimed book about slavery is crying racism after her writing came under scrutiny by scholars for questionable assertions and sloppy sourcing. Kerri Greenidge's 2022 book "The Grimkes," which tells the story of a prominent South Carolina slaveholder family who later played a role in the abolitionist movement, was lauded by critics and won the American Historical Association's Joan Kelly Memorial Prize. But skepticism grew as her prose came under the microscope by historians and scholars, including Myra Glenn, an author and retired American history professor at Elmira College. In a 2024 examination of "The Grimkes," Glenn called it "deeply flawed," and called out that Greenidge "all too often lacks the evidence to substantiate many of her major claims." She added that "her work is also riddled with factual errors and repeatedly omits needed endnotes." Presented with these and other disputed findings discovered through Glenn's analysis by the New York Times, Greenidge immediately cast herself as the victim, and accused her growing roster of critics of racism. "I am heartbroken that a field I have given my life to can treat me this way," she told the outlet. "The attack on Black women academics is real."

if the bill passes, it will be immediately challenged in court and won't take effect by Election Day. People get that, right? Every Hawaiian judge will issue individual and tailored injunctions that SCOTUS will have unwound in maybe a year.

We tried permanent DST in the early '70s, under Nixon IIRC. It lasted one winter, and then was repealed.
I predict the same thing will happen again. When it gets around the winter solstice in the western edges of the higher latitude time zones where it's pretty far west to begin with relative to true local mean time, sunrise can push past 9AM. That didn't fly at all.

Michigan upper peninsula is pretty bad, and even Indiana pushes Eastern Time pretty far west.
Go to time.gov to see the boundaries.
Originally, time zones were to be exactly 15 degrees wide, centered on the meridian. That way clock time would be no worse than +/- 30 minutes different from local mean time. But, the boundaries get political/commerce oriented, and we have what we have.

“Now on Iran and the NDAA,” Schumer said before the interruption.

Anyway, the "8 ball" local reference frame, was *inertial*, showing axes relative to whatever inertial frame they were using (might have been the ECI frame, but could've been something else that they preferred for whatever reason). They would translate as needed, and the computers could do this, to "LVLH", local vertical local horizontal as needed.

Many black women have really bad hair. The kind of hair that is dry and brittle and if you wash it daily, it breaks and frizzes. This is why they don't wash daily, wear wigs, have weaves, etc.

It's a holdover from the time when the northern states held the political power in the country.
The further south you go, the less variance there is in the length of the day. So southern states, and their fine citizens, are less impacted than northern citizens who whine about how the time that everyone calls it must align with their personal preferences.

The controversial Minnesota Paid Leave program has already paid out nearly $600 million of benefits in its first six months of operation. Now, the highly-touted welfare program could end up consuming an even greater share of taxpayer dollars.
Minnesota Paid Leave was created in 2023 by DFL Gov. Tim Walz and Democrats in the state legislature. The program allows Minnesota residents to take up to 12 weeks of paid medical leave or 12 weeks of paid family leave in a single year.
If a person wants to take a combination of medical leave and family leave, they can receive paid leave benefits for up to 20 weeks. Paid leave recipients typically receive between 55% and 90% of their regular wages with a maximum weekly amount of $1,423.
The program is funded via a 0.88% payroll tax that is evenly split between employers and employees.

Correct and it is already hitting primary education. A lot of districts are going to have to consolidate because there won't be enough students to keep them viable.
Rural communities faced this before, but now urban ones are going to be hardest hit. My area seems to be immune because its a college town, so people buy houses here when young and sell when the kids move out. Major demographic turnover going on.
When we moved it, there was only one set of kids besides ours, and now they are all over the place. Happily, despite being a liberal area, the kids are roaming freely, riding bikes recklessly and having a generally unsupervised great time.

Anchorage needs to close about 6 elementary schools, but they won't. The teachers needs those jobs, you understand, so even if there aren't enough kids to teach, the schools remain open.
Anchorage schools are the armpit of education. Not only are the less kids, the ones there are are headed for homeschooling or private schools. But that won't stop the teachers union from asking for more money, every year.
So glad I don't live in Los Anchorage any more.

In one widely publicized incident, an Australian visitor had his baggage—containing his laptop and passport—stolen from the lobby at Onni's Level Hotel in downtown Vancouver, forcing him to get a temporary passport from his consulate.
The reason is rather simple. Vancouver's World Cup venue (BC Place) is about a 10 minute walk (or stumble) from Downtown Eastside. Downtown Eastside is famous for their encouraged drug use (one of those government, here's your free needle places). So, yeah, they are going to help celebrate the World Cup and rob a few of those people with money.

Pretty sure you don't have to be black to be a fabulist in academia these days. If you read some of the bullshit passed off as scholarship, you would realize that most "academics" are there because they wouldn't be hirable in the real world. Make up something outrageous, couch it in undecipherable language, and get tenure.

Like Sperry, but this is kinda old news--but maybe not to everybody.
It's just like they covered up Putin's actual preference for the devil he knew: Cthillary.
And all the other shit the IC covered up, so as the float the narrative that Trump's foreign alliances endangered our republic.

>>So here's what we're learning from all these declassified materials: The US Intelligence Community *juiced* intel to make it seem like Moscow interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump, but then *buried* intel indicating Beijing interfered in the election to help Biden in 2020

That just moves the issue down a level. We already have schools that let in any grad with a pulse you just hear about them less. These ones will have to go first or get absorbed into bigger ones.

My experience, at least the past few decades, was that the operating system and/or language libraries handled most of the keeping track and converting.
Then there are leap seconds. Those were always scary, not being quite sure if everything would blow up at 11:59:60.

That demographic cliff has colleges panicking now, I've read. 2026-2030 are going to be brutal. Colleges will have empty classrooms, cafeterias, dorms, gyms, etc to maintain. Either that or every high school grad with a pulse gets in and we start graduating utter illiterates.

You guys have zero point fucking zero in the game.
States give you money. Students give you money.
You put ZERO in the game.
If I buy a car my bank wants to get paid and if the shit hits the fan they want the car fixed.
If the shit hits the fan the manu want the car fixed.
I want my car fixed.
You got nothing to offer.

Well, we can hope every single place changes their open and closing time, or we could change the official time, maybe by an hour for half the year.

I was living in TLH in 2008 or 9 and Miss St (friend play football there) started 13th grade.
Then TA fuckin DA FAMU has a 13th grade.
Every HBCU and all unis in the South have a secret 13th grade to basically cover grade 9-12 in a year.

This was for a small remote power measuring board to measure usage right on the building power circuits programming itself to wake up N hours later for "off period" stuff in the middle of the night so no OS and running GMT internally. Nothing difficult just fiddly because timezones are a pain and they roll over on you too.

When I was in college at an Engineering school in 1980 they had a 3-2 program with smaller nearby schools were you could spend time at the satellite school for three years getting up to speed then finish the Engineering degree at the main school in 2 more and get a diploma. I thought it was a smart solution for the problem of not all highschools being alike.

You mean you didn't use a 64 bit processor with 8 Gbytes of RAM running Linux with a bunch of open network ports, written in Java, for a small monitoring system? You must be some kind of Neanderthal!

Maybe THE weirdo. I like the extra hour of sleep when we go back to standard time, and even the early sunset. And i like the extra sunshine at the end of my hibernation.
