The Morning Rant
Ayres and Slaughter estimate that Democrats are 13 percentage points “less likely than Republicans to hold qualifying registration documents” in New Mexico. And while Ayres and Slaughter estimate the passage of the SAVE America Act would only have “modest” consequences for the midterms because those currently registered to vote would be “unaffected,” “as more people would need to register after moving, changing their names or reaching voting age, this document shortfall could flip New Mexico to an electorate where Republicans have a 3.3-percentage-point advantage.”
They are buying into the nonsense that poor people and people of color and non-binary trans-women and downtrodden housewives simply can't get the vital documents to prove they are citizens. No...not "buying into," but purposefully obfuscating so their donors in the GOPe don't get too frustrated by the threats to their labor force...wetbacks and non-citizen guest workers, many of whom vote. The correct headline should read:
WaPo Admits Many Democrat Voters Are Not Citizens
Everybody with a pulse and a few functioning neurons knows that's the case, but Conservative Inc. can't seem to admit it. Rushing out articles debunking the Democrat lies about the difficulty of access to basic documentation is allowing the Democrat/Progressive cabal to control the narrative. The issue is not documentation access...it is that illegals are voting. That's it. Nothing else matters. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

Nor citizens
Not alive
Not an actual real person
Not living in that state anymore
Not using that maiden name anymore
The voter rolls have been wildly inflated for decades by design. Forcing people to provide ID in order to vote under one of the existing bogus entries will destroy A LOT of the fraud they've got going.

Serkis has a supporting role in their new summer movie Young Washington.
Nick Searcy had a post recently about how Angel is happy to work with leftists because they're happy to use the name and don't mind supporting them financially while the hard leftists, like Serkis, don't mind doing the work because they know that none of the people they actually know and work with will ever see it.

Like you're supposed to say that 2020 had many "voting irregularities" when we saw blatant and obvious fraud happening in front of our eyes. (But much more outside of our purview because they KICKED THE OBSERVERS WHO ENSURE A FAIR ELECTION OUT. In what reality is that not prima facie evidence of fraud and deception? "Yeah, we kicked out the refs, but we totally scored 4 touchdowns while they were gone and won the game. I mean, it's on the scoreboard and everything!")

Not every illegal who comes here is all in for the free shit. Many are, but some have political aspirations. Take one Ilhan Omar for example. Or any of the Hispanic transplants who now dot Congress.
It's amusing when one of the proponents of illegal immigration in Congress gets stomped out of office by the very illegal they championed.

And the GOP has been cheap labor and pro free trade corporatism types since the New Deal era. Democrats flipped in the 1960's and Dick Gephardt was the last representative of old Dem nativist and private sector labor union politics.
Now the Dems are all in on racialism and importing the world including its criminals here to bring about communism with an Islamic flavor. Green-Red alliance which is going in most of the Western World.

Says the troll. But if they are at the point of being so uninvolved with life that they need no ID, maybe they should not be voting, either. If they still give a shit, they can get ID. If they don't give a shit, they should not be voting. And any Democrat that tires to vote in their name should be immersed in molten sodium.

Pretty much. Our upper crust left and right go to the same schools, attend the same social events, share the same tastes, and that is to be pseudo aristocrats complete with privileges. But to do that in the US requires money, not having the right ancestors. So they use the right's money to get where they are and then sell out for generational wealth and access to the pseudo aristocracy.
The current 'woke' right podcasters are a perfect example--they view their audience as rubes to be fooled, tricked, and defrauded just like any other con man would.
After all, some of them did that gig for the real media back in the day and got paid for it, so why not repeat the con in a new arena.

Townhome sales in the Charlotte area.
https://is.gd/Deb6XZ
"Townhome sales plummeted nearly 14% compared to this time last year, while listings increased 18.9% to just over 2,000 in March."
"Charlotte’s overall home sales also saw one of the steepest slides in the country, falling 7.6% in March.
Part of that can be blamed on an unusually snowy February, pushing closings back."
"“We’ve also seen job growth slow down during the first few months of 2026 across most sectors except professional services,” McShane says. “That could be keeping some middle-income buyers on the sidelines.”"

The older Bush era GOP desperately wants to get back to selling the US to the world's worst countries and inviting the world for their WEF buddies worldwide who are doing the same shit to their countries.
And these globalist cloud people despise and hate the common people in their countries much more than they hate and despise their nominal political opponents like the Dems/Labour/Social Democrats etc.
The US Senate is the keystone to the Uniparty establishment much more than the House and the fact that its members are got filthy rich by selling their votes and enriching their entire families like crime bosses, indicate why old timers don't want the party to ever stop.

I prefer not to have a civil war because the wrong assholes die--it is never the leaders nowadays that get their just deserts as they flit off to safe places and avoid leading from the front. The old real aristocracy, did not have that disadvantage, they were required to lead from the front (at least the males did).
I prefer Bukele's solution--mass incarceration of their pets until death do they part with prison. And these elites and their bootlickers should be impoverished and imprisoned on an wholesale basis using the very tools they used to oppress the people--NSA intercepts, financial intercepts, etc.
The evidence is there of clear betrayals of the people of the US (and most Western countries) because to coordinate these criminal actions, they must communicate and must be able to exchange money. That is the Achilles heel of the global society and any real conspiracy--the need to communicate and move money around.

Just a bit further backstory:
Animal Farm was independently produced, shown to distributors, and no one bought it. Eventually, Angel Studios bought the distribution rights, probably at a cheap price because everyone else had passed.
It also probably has something to do with how Serkis is in Angel Studio's actual production coming out this year, Young Washington.

There are two possible explanations for this:
1) Fraud - people betting with insider info or people using Polymarket to launder money
2) Someone has a bot net that locks for poorly bet scenarios and then just uses that: eg if one bet should be 60-40 but it is currently at 80-20 you come in and bet on the lower probability event.

This is a point I've hammered on repeatedly. The lefties that tell us people are literally dying because of lack of government funds should also be the people most angry about fraud because it is killing those same people.
At best they ignore and minimize it, but often they celebrate it. One lefty hot take on the Somali fraud in MN was that it was a good thing because it shows Somalis aren't the retards the right claims if they could pull off such a scam.

It is a rather stupid branding mistake if the studio wants to be a continuing operation. Same reason that Disney back in the 80's put its PG and R movies under a different studio name.
If you are selling the brand, you screw it up really quickly when you do something that messes with your brand identity. Marketing 101.

Egg Foo Young?
Chicken Chow Mein?
Hot and Sour Soup?
None of the above.
Your answer will probably depend on where you live in the world. Those inside China would probably argue that none of those dishes resemble anything from a traditional Chinese menu.
But others might disagree.
For them, the idea of "western Chinese food" isn't an oxymoron, it's a genuine style of cuisine primarily developed by generations of Chinese immigrants to the United States.
Now, one restaurant in Shanghai is trying to bring American Chinese food back to China.
[...]
One of the biggest challenges was finding the right ingredients to use in the kitchen.

Half of the current leftists are commies, the other half think they will run society when the commies take over. So both think Piven-Cloward is just fine because it hastens the time to which they get full power. Then they start shooting each other and purging after the victory.

The leftwing answer to this is to bring up Jews in WWII.
But almost all refugees in the US are fleeing traditional kleptocracies. If a person is going to succeed in the US they will most likely succeed back home too.
But most immigrants/refugees just go on welfare which doesn't exist back home. And you can see this in practice - Trump has deported 2M+ illegals and America hasn't lost a million jobs over that time has it?

Ballotpedia - Proof of citizenship requirements for voter registration by state
All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment.[1][2]
Some states* have enacted laws requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship at the time of voter registration or if there are questions regarding their citizenship status.
*A very few have an actual process.

He took a job teaching at an art school but informed his students, "I have nothing to teach you that will help you to make a living."
That reminds me of a professor at Berkeley -- he specialized in computational chemistry -- who introduced himself to his Quantum Chemistry class thuswise: "Hello, I am Professor ___. My research interests are systems where the number of particles are less than or equal to one. If systems with more that one particle are of interest to you, then you should enroll in Professor ___'s class."

Now, with this judgment, there was a harsh rebuke of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent, where Justice Alito, in an academic tone, essentially called her a reckless clown who doesn’t understand the law. We’ve seen a similar attitude on the liberal side as well, with Justices Kagan or Sotomayor disagreeing with the majority but avoiding Jackson’s dissents since they usually don’t make much sense.

[T]here was an unspoken baseline that, for the highest court in the land, and really the world, you could appoint ideological opposites, but you did not cheapen the institution by lowering the intellectual bar.
But the autopen removed that baseline, and with it degraded the level of discourse and eroded the professional respect that made those relationships possible in the first place. So for someone who has spent two decades on the Court, that has to be very painful to watch, seeing an institution slide into idiocracy and performative nonsense.

I don't really care about the Met Gala,who came there and what they wore.

Passer-by, Aphrodisios is my name; I'm a citizen of Alexandria Troas and a leader of the chorus. I die a most pathetic death because of my wife, the dirty adulteress (whom Zeus will destroy). Her secret lover, Lychon—a member of my own family!—slaughtered me, still in my youth. He threw me from the heights like a discus. I was twenty years old, so full of beauty, when the Moirai spun my fate and sent me as a delight to Hades.

Someone on the X mentioned it is also possible that he is simply reading a script.
It has often been noted that Tucker relied on others to write his scripts for his shows on Fox.
Same as ghostwriters for biographies where they spike the controversy factor for bucks.
A lot of these podcasters rely on 'talent management' companies that do the hard work in packaging the ads, ensuring compliance with various laws, booking guest, etc. where the 'talent' is simply the newsreader on the cast. And curiously enough for people that track them, people using the same management companies tend to swim in the same direction on their podcasts.
The old media manufactured objectivity is now viewed as dead but that trust has simply been put now on podcasters who do the same damn trick.

Rolling Stone moved Eric Clapton down from the top 10 of greatest guitar players of all time to 35 because he admitted to being Covid "vaccine" injured & refused to discriminate on entry to his concerts based on "vaccine" status. They even admit the reasoning in the explanation!

John French Sloan
Like this painting a great deal - it actually reminded me of Chicago quite a few years ago - though I'd pass hanging it unless it was a set (see article below) of Sloan's painting.
>It Might Be Art Organization, The Poetry of Everyday Life: John Sloan’s New York Paintings, April 25, 2023
A lovely article that begins,
"John Sloan is known for his unflinching eye. His New York could be transcendent, full of heartbreaking moments, like the sunset captured in his 1906 painting, “Sunset, West Twenty-Third Street.” Sloan’s New York could also be a dark, hard place.
Some of my favorite Sloan paintings capture those small moments of joy, or pleasure, that creep up on us, moments that overtake us, in an ecstasy that takes us out of our present.
Others, like his painting of the bar at McSorley’s, freeze the flow of ordinary time. Frozen, in paint, the moment becomes monumental. Even the most ordinary moments and gestures, revealed like this, carry a heft, and dignity, that render them both solemn, and sad."
(More followed, reading all suggested.)
A nice art selection for a Tuesday. Thanks.

Michigan trial attorney and Democratic fundraiser Kelly Neumann, the co-chairwoman of Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow’s campaign, threatened the Free Beacon with “legal action” unless we retract our story about her Veterans Day Facebook post honoring her grandfather who served “on the German side” in World War II, our Andrew Stiles reports.
The Free Beacon and others reported in January about Neumann’s bizarre Facebook post praising her “Grandfather, Albert Neumann,” who she said was “on the German side in WWI & WWII” and “escaped to Brazil … after Germany lost.” The post included several photos of the man in his Wehrmacht uniform. Neumann recalled that her grandfather was one of the first people to accept her homosexuality, a demonstration that “people can change and love can indeed win.” Heartwarming.
“Last week, the Free Beacon received a letter from Neumann’s attorney demanding a ‘formal retraction’ of the ‘false and defamatory’ statement in the article,” writes Stiles.

I think the coming decision by Scotus killing the after election vote stuffing scam using absentees is probably more useful than the SAVE act.
The massive culling of voter registrations is also going to leave a mark. The Democrats were reactivating inactive voters on the lists, casting an absentee ballot, and then deactivating them. Which is why the vote tallies never match the actual number of voters. Apparently the Dems have been monkeying around with voter histories and inactive registrations since about 2007.

The Morning Report — 5/ 5/26
Gunshots were fired near the White House complex and the Washington Monument Monday, prompting the Secret Service to lock down nearby locations. United States Secret Service confirmed that law enforcement shot one individual at 15th Street and Independence Avenue during the incident, and a bystander was struck; both are alive, authorities confirmed at a press briefing Monday. Agents reportedly engaged in a heated confrontation with an armed man near the White House and National Mall before President Donald Trump’s event in the East Room of the White House began, RealClearPolitics national correspondent Susan Crabtree first reported... The suspect is currently in custody and no Secret Service agents were harmed. He is reportedly recovering from his gunshot wounds at George Washington Hospital, and Secret Service agents recovered his firearm.
You may well ask, given the fact that President Trump and his entire cabinet and really all of us who support and voted for him have a big fat (literal, not Mark Kelly imaginary) target painted on them, how could something like this happen, yet again?! Well how about this for starters?
Secret Service Agent Arrested for Alleged Public Masturbation in Miami. John Spillman, age 33, had been in Miami to work exterior security for President Donald Trump’s appearance at the PGA Tour’s Cadillac Championship on Sunday, per CNBC: The incident involving Spillman occurred at the DoubleTree by Hilton Miami Airport & Convention Center on Sunday night, according to WSVN-7 News Miami, which cited an arrest report by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Well, that's bad enough but if we want to talk about root causes, let's get down to brass tacks:
Joe Biden, the last Democrat to occupy the White House, said it was “time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye.” Five days later, Thomas Matthew Crooks evaded the Secret Service and fired seven shots, one wounding candidate Trump in the ear. Jump ahead to April 25, 2026.And that's how someone like Spillman gets to spill his seed while on duty. But the institutional rot predates even Obama/Biden. As horrendous as this creep may be, how is it that a known and avowed communist like John Brennan was able to become a CIA agent let alone was able to rise to become its director? I will never understand that one. Elsewhere, and in a not necessarily unrelated story, President Trump is disrupting and dismantling the global order. With all eyes still on Iran, there are still rumblings about potential moves to at long last liberate the tropical island gulag 90 miles to the south of Florida.
By all indications, Joe Biden issued no post after Cole Thomas Allen aimed to assassinate Trump. Take Obama’s post as another admission that, as David Samuels acknowledged in “The Obama Factor” in 2023, the hapless Biden was a puppet and the “fictional character” created in Dreams from My Father was still running the country and “responsible for the disaster that we are living through now.”
For all but the willfully blind, leading Democrats are now all-in on political violence. Obama serves as a pro-bono attorney for assassins like Cole Thomas Allen and jihadists like Nidal Hasan. The mass murderer was sentenced to death in 2013 but remains alive at this writing.
Trump Goes All In On Regime Change In Cuba: The Trump administration just slammed the door on an effort by Cuba’s communist government to secure an economic lifeline while appearing to embrace reform. A May 1 executive order expands and sharpens longstanding American sanctions on Cuba, and appears to deliberately target a recent gesture at partially opening the Cuban economy. “All property and interests in property that are in the United States,” the order says, are barred from operating “in the energy, defense and related materiel, metals and mining, financial services, or security sector of the Cuban economy, or any other sector of the Cuban economy,” under the penalty of economic sanctions.Fresh off the exposure of the Great Somalian Simoleon Swindle real journalist Nick Shirley is once more entering the breach:
If you'll remember, in March, a group of far-leftist folks from the U.S. and Europe — including members of Code Pink, commie activist Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar's daughter — flew into the crumblingly communist country and stayed in five-star hotels, enjoyed fancy meals, held concerts, and recorded podcasts, all while the Cuban people starve and live without electricity or water much of the time. They took photos with "president" Miguel Díaz-Canel and came back declaring that all was well on the island. This crew spent some of their time riding around the city and viewing the Cubans as if they were on some sort of poverty safari, and Piker said the people just had an "island mindset" and that's why they just hung around in the streets all day. They came back reporting that things were just groovy down there and would be even better if Trump and Rubio would stop bullying them. Well, independent journalist Nick Shirley recently visited Cuba and attempted to do the same thing... but he wanted to tell the real story of what's happening after decades of failed and corrupt communist rule. As you can imagine, he didn't get quite the welcome the others did. Not only that, but according to him, his equipment was seized, "spies" followed him around, and he barely escaped without being "kidnapped."It is my fervent hope and prayer that Nick Shirley is not a one-off and that there are growing numbers of millennials and the younger generations that while not perhaps as open and brave as to put themselves in direct danger at least will become the next literal "Silent Majority" that will reject the insanity of Democrat/Leftism and once again secure America's future as the shining city on a hill. On that unusually positive note for me . . . Have a good day!

🚨🧵 BREAKING: Former DHS Chief Miles Taylor's prank site collected death threats against the President and 4,000+ people's personal data. Then exposed them through all an open API. 🚨
Two days ago, I showed you how Miles Taylor's GTFO ICE site exposed 17,000+ people's data on an open API. That site halted sign-ups and is still "under construction."
But Taylor's organization DEFIANCE[.]org didn't just build one leaky site. They built two. On the same server.
UndoTrump[.]org — launched April 1, 2026 as an "April Fools' joke" — collects names, emails, and political messages from people signing up for fictional "Removal Parties" at government buildings. The White House Ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The DOJ. Battleships.
4,000+ signup records. 3,300+ unique people. Same vulnerability. Same API. Same zero authentication.
And this one has death threats against a sitting President in the database.
The man who was deputy chief of staff for the department that houses the Secret Service couldn't secure a sign-up form. Again.

The damage to the US from this presidency is immeasurable. The president isn’t supposed to be able to unilaterally cause all of this damage. The GOP in Congress has fully ceded their responsibilities and duties.
It doesn’t help that literally brain damaged Fetterman is helping stop efforts to curtail Trump's power.
He's bored with Iran and wants to move on to something new. He finds Iran frustrating and unsatisfying. He needs something new to excite his very small attention span and continue the distraction from the Epstein mess.
"On the way back from Iran." Like it's a grocery store run? "Yeah, let's just swing the USS Abraham Lincoln by Havana, pick up some cigars, and manifest some destiny." The casualness of suggesting a regime change via a pit stop is peak 2026 timeline.
All it will take is a phone call from Ronald Lauder and the carrier group will be heading to Greenland after killing a load of Cubans. I wish the rest of the world would sanction the fuck out of warmongering fascist America.
The world should be sanctioning the US at this point.

Obama serves as a pro-bono attorney for assassins like Cole Thomas Allen and jihadists like Nidal Hasan. The mass murderer was sentenced to death in 2013 but remains alive at this writing.
How come the press does not cover the true victim of that incident? I mean, of course, the schlub who was in the same meeting as O'Bumbles and for whom Barky just had to deliver a shout out for his excellent participation in said meeting. All this before SCOAMF said a single thing about Hasan's killing spree.
How is the shout out recipient faring these days? How is his self-esteem? His mental health?

That's my concern. She had major tire issues on the last trip. A combination of vehicle weight and bad roads. We replaced all four rear tires for ones with a higher capacity, but I shudder to think what The Beast weighs fully loaded.

Active-Duty Navy Sailor Serving 20 Years Over Demilled Parts and Replicas as SAF Pushes Supreme Court for Review
WASHINGTON, DC — The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari in the case of Patrick “Tate” Adamiak, the former active-duty U.S. Navy Master-at-Arms serving 20 years in federal prison on machine gun and destructive device charges that gun rights advocates have argued for years are based on demilled equipment, non-firing replicas, and unfinished parts that are still openly sold online today.

The video’s most memorable feature is the visual contrast between the participants’ studied downtown chic and their professed identification with what Piker calls the “masses.” Tolentino’s makeup is flawless, accentuating her exotic feline beauty; her nails gleam with shell-pink lacquer; her carefully styled waves glow with tawny highlights; her low-cut denim tank top, jeans, and high-heeled boots signal urban sophisticate. This outfit may not be ideally suited to organizing the proletarian “sabotage and, sort of, engagement with property destruction” she evokes with wistful nostalgia. But it fits perfectly in the all-white Brooklyn loft where the interview was filmed.
Piker sports a powder-blue, long-sleeved Ralph Lauren shirt, complete with polo pony logo. His tennis shoes are by Adidas, the very embodiment of the “system of global capital” that he claims to want to overthrow, complete with allegations of labor abuses in its Chinese, Vietnamese, and Indonesian factories...

From above, 'Philadelphia Museum Marks America’s 250th By Dwelling on Its Faults'
Pope Leo XIV will be awarded the 38th annual Liberty Medal in Philadelphia on July 3, 2026, during the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations. The National Constitution Center will honor him for promoting religious liberty, freedom of conscience, and human dignity, with the Pope accepting via a virtual broadcast from Rome. The award is part of the 2026 Wawa Welcome America festivities.
This could be the worst celebration of Independence Day in the Philadelphia area ever, and it seems so in-your-face including the following, especially given the Roman Catholic Church's 'treatment' in the region:
Within just one collar county of the city, some examples:
Delco officials began eminent domain proceedings in 2021 to acquire roughly 213 acres of land in Marple Township from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia & an alleged developer to create the county's largest park. The site, the former Don Guanella Village, was targeted for preservation, preventing its development. The county tendered only $21 million as "estimated just compensation." Absurd and still open.

Sisters of St. Francis Property (Aston Township) transaction involved land formerly owned by the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, located near Neumann University. Aston Township purchased 46 acres from the religious order for approximately $1.9 million and intends it to become a passive-use township park featuring hiking trails through meadows and woodlands.
2025, Brookhaven closed the purchase of the former Our Lady of Charity school property located on Upland Road. The 7.4-acre parcel was appraised at $1.55 million.
In September 2019, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia sold the historic Archbishop Prendergast High School building and 8.5 acres in Drexel Hill to Delaware County Community College (DCCC) for $3 million.

AI - These actions reflect a trend of the cash-strapped Archdiocese selling land, while local government seeks to convert large, open Catholic tracts into public, green space.
And it is shocking to see the Roman Catholic Church so cash strapped in PA - it HAS done a lot of good - now joining many of the historic, mainline protestant denominations rapidly fading away.
And in county, rather than Greening, the true goals seem to be for Democratic county council - and pals - to control large land buffers that also keep certain schools at desirable educational levels, local taxes manageable, and any residential building appropriate for the surrounding towns.
After all, it's quite the deal as ALL the county is taxed to pay for county parks & security even when they're just sitting with little to no park development.
Democrats 🤬 but they give away diapers, tampons, Narcan & lots of $ to hinkey non-profits.

No.

- The "audio industry" is grappling with the rise of podslop. (Bloomberg) (archive site)
Where by audio industry they mean, basically, Spotify.
The problem is a company called Inception Point, that is spewing out 3000 podcasts a week using AI-generated voices.
Does anyone listen to them?
Well, the number is probably not zero. I listened to an AI-generated science fiction story that was tolerable if not particularly original. But when I was automatically forwarded to the next story on the channel it was exactly the same with a few names and details changed.
Slop is right.
- You could turn your classic 1966 Mustang into a Tesla. (Electrek)
Or, alternately, you could not do that.
- Ask.com, which was in the natural language search query business before it was cool - or indeed, worked - has closed its doors. (The Register)
The site racked up 245 million visits over 25 years... Which is not remotely enough for a business to survive on. Which makes me wonder a little how they did.
- Intel's TPU bet hinges on increasing yield from 90% to 98%. (WCCFTech)
Counterpoint: No it fucking doesn't. Are you stupid or what?The analyst adds that not only is jumping from a 90% yield to a 98% yield significantly more difficult than achieving 90% from 0%, but also that the 90% yield is a validation figure instead of a production figure. As a result, he believes cautious optimism is the better approach when following the packaging technology.
Getting from 0% to 90% yield is taking a process that simply doesn't work and making it into a reliable production line. Getting it to 98% is nice, but irrelevant on the broader scale.

I saw a post of yours yesterday about your disappointment and/or with Pope Leo for appointing the guy to be Bishop in WV who is an illegal alien and that you had decided not to go back to the RCC
Please, brother, Reconsider that.Popes come and go but the Lord stands forever. Here is a bit that Former Pope Benedict wrote about St. Catherine of Sienna and her life of faith
And we can all let our hearts be transformed and learn to love like Christ in a familiarity with him that is nourished by prayer, by meditation on the Word of God and by the sacraments, above all by receiving Holy Communion frequently and with devotion
I think if you felt a yearning to go back to church that comes from God.
If is not a requirement to be a RC that with political announcements of the Pope. Hadrian woukd tell you the same thing.

I'd recommended putting Win 11 on a VM on a Linux host and give gaming on Steam/Proton a try. Except for games requiring kernel-level anticheats, such as FPS games, the results are shockingly good.
Plus you get the benefits of Windows in a VM, rather than dual boot, such as snapshots that can easily and quickly remedy a borked Windows update, Windows not working your bootloader, etc.

So they got rid of Benedict and went full Marxist Liberation Theology with Francis to satisfy the Latinos.
American Catholics are only considered as a reliable income stream but also have very little growth potential.
Now they have Leo to balance out Trump, but still have a bit of a Marixst running the show.
I'd expect another Latin/Asian (a Filipino would be perfect), or African pope next as that's where their largest growth potential is.

I don't think so. I think priests vary in their political views while still believing in the doctrine and the efficacy of the Sacraments. I've sat in various RC churches ( and no, dear RC morons and ettes, I don't take the Eucharist) and no priest said anything that veered off from the Scriptures of the day and I doubt they would be doing a "campaign appearance" for Pope Leo. As one guy said yesterday " I don't give money to the Bishops appeal" or whatever it is called .

Also I have a laptop with Windows 11 and Linux Mint 22.3 (dual boot) that I do a FULL drive backup of using CloneZilla before I load Windows every year to do the taxes. As part of that I start with a Windows Update, and if it borks things, I'd just restore the entire drive and start doing research.
Once the update is done and I prove I can still dual boot to Linux, THEN I start the taxes.
Excellent idea for tax purposes though. That software should run on Windows in a VM without issue. Thank you.

Kurt, age twelve or so, was in the very first Man From U.N.C.L.E. I ever watched, as the "innocent" (non-spy) character in 1964's "The Finny Foot Affair" -- a very good script, too. It may be on YooToob and is worth your time. Prior to that he'd been Dan O'Herlihy's co-star in the Western The Travels of Jamie McPheeters.

Most things work that way, except games, unless you can get GPU passthroughto VM working, but that requires pretty new hardware, and it is more than I am wanting to spend.
The only downside is memory overhead of the host. I used to clonezilla, a lot, because Microsft. And, frankly, Windows in a VM feels like the first breath of fresh air after prison. I haven't touched clonezilla since, simply backing up my user data.

He and Michelle Pfeiffer are also in The Madison on Paramount+ which is another Taylor Sheridan Yellowstone spin-off.

No, don't change any of the iconic exterior bits, just the safety and reliability ones. Maybe soup it up a little under the hood and make sure the transmission can handle it. If it were possible to have brighter headlights, to put brighter E-code bulbs into the housings while keeping the same look, that would add to the value as a *car.*
Of course, one of the great things about headlights back then were the simple sealed beam units. You bought a pair at K-Mart and installed them yourself; done.

I once got to sit in a used Continental limo. Dark green, with black leather everywhere inside except the rear-facing jump seats, which were light tan. An impressive vehicle.

Nvidia is putting out new versions of the 5070 laptop chip soon.
Going from 8GB to 12GB VRAM.
They had complaints because both the 5060 & 5070 had 8GB and there wasn't much of a difference between the two because of it.
If you can still find an older laptop with a 4080 in it you'd save some cash that way, but I don't know if any are still for sale new.

The modern 2015 - 2023ish Chargers and Challengers run great on premium ethanol free fuel. My 2016 Charger would scream while averag___ 23mpg in the city and ~30 on the highway @75. Big 5.7 liter (it's a damned 350 Dodge, get with the freedom units) with variable valve timing and multi-displacment. I miss that car, lots of fun to force it to get 2mpg.
The Multistrada only runs the premium ethanol free. It will kill the rear (vertical) two cylinders at stop lights, to reduce heat. When I get on the throttle, a baffle opens in the exhaust deleting the muffler. Whoa baby. Sounds like a dream forcing it to get 20mpg.

Went to Statistics Canada's site to verify that yes indeed a Census was on and it was in fact yesterday that they launched it.
(And yes, they have the power to ensure that the forms, overall, hit mailboxes on the start day.)

First is Darryl Hunt of The Pogues, who was born on this date in 1950 and passed on August 8, 2022. He started out as the band's roadie, took over as bassist when Cait O'Riordan left in 1986, and even had sole writing credit for a track on their final album, Pogue Mahone (1996):
The Pogues - Love You 'Till the End (2006 Remaster) [Audio]
https://youtu.be/bbrMw89di2k
Mike Dirnt, who turned 54 today, is co-founder, bassist, and backing vocalist for Green Day. No deep cut here; for a showcase, Brave AI recommended their first major-label single (off their 1994 breakout third studio album Dookie), where his iconic bassline is the song's primary hook:
Green Day - Longview [Official Music Video] (4K Upgrade)

It's also the 57th birthday for Chuck Folds, younger brother of Ben (of the Ben Folds Five). He played bass for a Greensboro, NC band, and here's a nice chill jazzy pop track off their second album, A Little Faster (1993):

The Iranian attack on the UAE, Oman, and in the Straight of Hormuz was done by the IRGC without the knowledge or coordination of the Iranian government.
Iranian President Pezeshkian is "extremely angry" at the actions of Ahmad Vahidi, the commander of the IRGC, and has called for an urgent meeting to stop attacks on Persian Gulf countries.

I was at Misawa, Aomori prefecture. It's not terrible in summer, in the northern part. Never got to go to Hokkaido, and that's a shame.. always wanted to go to the snow festival. We drove to Towada, following the Oirase River, many times. Gorgeous in autumn! And Lake Towada had boat cruises in summer.. Hachinohe was good for shopping, ended up with a calico cat (good luck kitty) "presento" one time. She was a good kitteh, LOL.

The real.problem is getting the correct size "hole".
If the new dishwasher is the same size as the old one (width, height, depth) it's not that difficult to install. The instructions that came with it will spell out what has to.be done. This is one place where I give YouTube props.

And frankly, between the hord and me, let's get rid of the computer circuit board on all appliances, let's go back to analog toggles, switches and dials. I suggested to a friend recently that we should start a company for appliances called "Just Appliances Ltd." That makes appliances like washing machine designed with similar workings (modern materials safety etc.) to those of the 1970s. They would be retro/analog and simply "just" wash or "just" refrigerate or "just" dry etc.

* UAE says it has intercepted 15 missiles, 4 drones in the last day. Iranian drone strike caused a large fire at its Fujairah industrial port that hospitalized 3 people.
* An oil tanker owned by the UAE’s state oil company ADNOC was also struck by Iranian drones in a separate episode outside the Strait
* US CentCom chief Adm Cooper says US military fought off attacks from Iranian drones and missiles as it facilitated the passage of TWO US-flagged navy destroyers through the Strait. (CBS saying these vessels were not struck)
* a South Korean ship has been damaged going through the Strait. Trump urges S Korea to join in on Project Freedom
* Asked about Iranian sea mines in Hormuz, Centcom’s Cooper said “it’s not so extensive”
* Trump on TS “We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, ‘fast’ Boats" that attempted to interfere
* Trump to Fox: if Iran attacks any US ships around the Strait of Hormuz, they will be “blown off the face of the earth.”
* 2 people injured in Oman, on its coast along the Strait , when a residential building was targeted (state media)

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.
He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died.
Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs.
I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.
RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

The reason why it was so immediate and so severe was because the FBI was briefing Twitter executives”
This would instantly flag the DMs and stop them from being sent, it would make the links inactive

if you're doing western S Dakota you seriously want to see Mt Rushmore in the black hills. The loop will bring you through deadwood, past the crazy horse monument, and into Custer. Then grab the needles highway and iron mountain road, and it brings you right into Mt Rushmore. Can do that all in a day easy. Devils tower is right in eastern Wyoming, maybe an hour in from the S Dakota border.

MY best friend growing up (early 80s) bought an old (1967) International Harvester Scout truck for $500, which we fixed up a little, promptly took the hard top off and then drove for almost 10 years until it literally fell apart. We loved it and so, shall we say, did the "chicks" (chicks, man!).

How do you distinguish between a 4 door coupe, and a 4-door sedan? Where I come from, 4-door coupe does not exist. All coupes are 2 doors. There should not be enough room on coupe body for rear doors. Sedans can be 2 doors or 4, but there is enough room on the 2-door body for rear doors.
My body list: coupe, hardtop coupe, convertible coupe, 4 door sedan, 4-door hardtop, station wagon, pickup.

My preferred, and assumed, strategery here was to pause (ceasefire) to rest, resupply, and augment our forces (this has been done, and it's a pretty massive fist we have). Meanwhile, the blockade would do its thing, along with the global financial assault on Iranian assets. Finally, force the Strait open, forcing Iran to try to respond militarily - this leading to a comprehensive degradation of their anti-shipping capabilities.
Thus shredding their only remaining "card".
Things track with the above, so far. Question is will we (my preference) use Iranian interference in the Strait as the go-signal to obliterate their last significant remaining kinetic tool*. Or continue with the dance - downplaying attacks as long they're thwarted or blunted, bluster about destroying their military, with very limited military response. We're all about to find out.
* ballistic missiles remain a threat to the region, but a crude and largely ineffective one to date

I know of a site near Edson, Alberta, where I saw a petrified tree stump in growth position exposed in a cut bank. Quite a lot of petrified wood can be collected there. I have a bunch of it. It's actually silicified wood intermingled with coal. I am guessing it is of Tertiary age.

Agree AOP - meant to delete the 4 door coupe.
It should have read:
2 door sports - Like a pure sports car model
2 door coupe
2 door sedan
4 door sedan
Station Wagon (4 door)
Pickup Truck
But I like your list better (except I do like those old 2 door sedan length cars like the old Cadillacs 1969-70) and I hadn't thought about convertibles so let's say :
Pure performance sports car model (hard top and convertible); coupe (hardtop coupe, convertible coupe)
2 Door sedan; 4 door sedan; 4-door hardtop; Station wagon; pickup

Christians in Sudan have been particularly targeted by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), which has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and views Christians as its ideological enemy.
Rafat Samir, general secretary of the Sudan Evangelical Alliance, told Fox News that “opposing Christians is their religious duty.
Whoever does something to harm Christians is considered favourable to the law or to Allah.”

She can’t print
“They remotely shut off my printer until I paid $7.50 cents to print in my own home, to print on my printer, that I own in my home”
This is the new $7.50 subscription plan by HP Printers
Here’s how the plans work
HP’s Instant Ink and newer All-in Plan programs are subscription services options:
- You pay a monthly fee based on pages printed (not ink used).
- Plans start low, from $1.79–$7.99 per month for 10–100 pages
- $7–$8 per month plans are for around 100 pages
If your payment fails. HP will remotely shutoff your printer

Since he declared hostilities over before the sixty day deadline, he no longer has to report to Congress.
Instead he declared the mission in the Strait of Hormuz a "humanitarian mission" which requires no report to Congress under War Powers.
But now, if Iran attacks a U.S. ship it becomes a defensive operation against Iran when we respond with force, which can be open-ended as defensive operations don't fall under War Powers either.
Quite a smooth move, and Trump was counting on the IRGC to start doing exactly what they've done.

An hour later, I'm only 42% into the process, and on question 36, and it's asking about the family member's sexual orientations.
I opted to save it for later, because I was too angry at that point to continue.
And I noticed a little thing after creating the password and challenge/response question it demanded I do so I could "come back to this later".
It told me that if I didn't submit anything further by Thursday, March 14, that my responses so far would be submitted as an incomplete survey.
Now maybe they meant that to scare people into completing it, but I'm seeing a loophole.
I answered your stupid census. You got the important information already (number of people, names, citizenships, languages spoken.) Anything else isn't really "need to have" it's just "want to have".
Bottom line: I responded, as I needed to, by law, so I'm in the clear, and I think that yeah, I'm done with that nonsense.

Chorine is, likely, in that pool, and guess what. Chlorine is bad for ducks and can cause significant health issues if they swim in or drink it regularly. It strips the natural oils from their feathers, leading to waterlogging, and can damage their kidneys if consumed.
I have a pool. I regularly have to contend with the errant Canadian goose who likes to explore up from the pond down in the pasture.

The portrayal of Spartacus by Hollywood is always amusing. He was a Thracian....who were tattooed barbarians known for drinking rituals to their God of Wine. Even the Thracian women had full body tattoos, and very few morals. They were always fragmented because they chose fighting over farming every single time. Spartacus was a thug.

Thracian was also one of the fighting styles gladiators used - sword and buckler. It has been tossed around that saying he was 'a thracian' was a cover for a Roman who had been broken down to the gladiator ranks which would explain why he was able to lead his slave army with such success.

Americans have a unique obsession with Nazis. In Europe, the Nazis have lots of competition and there were many countries where the Communists were much, much worse, and so (I'm talking about the Baltics specifically) their "honored veterans" were in the SS.

Yeah, Franco himself was apolitical, but the True Believers in the Phalange wanted more radical change, and there is a credible case that he packed them all off to the Eastern Front in the Blue Division for a reason.
Solved two problems at once - kept Hitler off his back and got rid of the radicals.

Yes, the wokification of Gamers was a little earlier and the purges led to the creation of counter-revolutionaries like Sargon of Akkad who were all veterans when the culture war came to Hollywood a few years later.

WWI in Italy was like France but more so. Eleven? Twelve? Thirteen? Battles on the Isonzo River line for no purpose, and when that wasn't dumb enough they did some offensives in the Alps for added futility. Then the Germans popped in and bounced the whole line back about 4 river lines in a flash.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has created a special team of criminal investigators to root out immigration fraud, equipping newly designated special agents with expanded law enforcement powers to investigate, arrest and prosecute violators and even denaturalize cheaters.
"We're going to get to a place where people are going to know that if they file, and they're going to file something fraudulently, or they're not giving us their full story, we're going to find that," United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow told Just The News.
...
Edlow announced the initiative in September under a final rule that allows the agency to hire and train 1811-classified officers who can carry firearms, execute warrants and handle cases from start to finish without always referring them to ICE.

We tend to forget that neither Italy nor Germany were what we think of those two countries today. Italy in particular had the Papal States, the Southern Districts, the Alpine Districts, Venice, and a couple of other city-states, none of whom particularly cared for the other and often times were at war internally as well. "Ruling" Italy was a crap shoot at best. Germany had parts of Prussia, parts of France, and who knows what all, and they likewise did not necessarily get along well. Sometimes it was Catholic vs. Protestant, but more often it was this ruling duchy against that one.
Each was a microcosm of the rest of Europe. More tribal than pre-Columbian America.

It is a procrustean economic theory that attempts to bend humanity around it at any cost to achieve its end, as the most important element of a society could be a hypothesis about how it should work, not the people who actually live in it.

The Mussolini supporters were the problem. My grandmother got out of there in 1938 when in her words "Mussolini became in love with hitler". Not that he was great before that, but it definitely went to shit after that. Italy then had the civil war when the allied backed southern partisans fought against the northern german backed pro mussolini fascists. My relatives were on the anti Mussolini side. Well, the ones who stayed behind anyway.

1) use ozempic to get rid of what you consider to be problem fat.
2) doesn't this mean you have an exit strategy for after the weight is lost. Go off and keep exercising? See if it comes back or you can keep it off?
3) or is this plastic surgery psychosis on a massive scale where they get lost in it?
4) this cannot be good for their brains

I don't get the hate for drugs that help.
Part of treating Type II diabetes is removing weight from the equation. I'm on Mounjaro to control my AIC, but it also kills off hunger, so I suspect I'm losing some weight. I know lots of people just use it to lose weight, but if it works, who are we to judge that?
For reference, I've been on 1400 cal/day for three years and haven't lost an ounce. Now I'm on Mounjaro and 1400 cal/day, and I've lost about three pounds, and my AIC is way low at long last. Nothing was budging before, and lower than 1400 cal is not healthy or sustainable in the long run. So, there's that.

We had several around here, groceries and pharmacies both. One regular (as opposed to Neighborhood Market) Walmart was open 24/7; there was another grocery chain where I'd stop after my late-night radio shift, and a lot of the Walgreens stores were 24-hour. Now we have one Walgreens on this side of the river that is open all night, and it's staffed even in the daytime with some of the rudest and stupidest clerks I've ever encountered; so I never go in there.

That's actually what this Hantavirus cruise was. Antarctic-capable ship, but run by a company with a case of Woke. Not as bad as Oceangate, or whatever that collapsible-sub company was, but.....
Part of my post from the food thread, where it was first mentioned, from cruise ship's own website:
Happier polar passengers, healthier polar environment
Not only will the numerous amenities and on-board entertainments help make your Hondius voyage truly memorable, this ship also gives you the peace of mind that comes with choosing one of the most environmentally friendly vessel on the polar seas. Hondius uses LED lighting, steam heating, bio-degradable paints and lubricants, and state-of-the-art power management systems that keep fuel consumption and CO2 levels minimal. This means that when you sail aboard Hondius, you get to enjoy the exotic landscapes and wildlife as much as possible while impacting them as little as possible.

At any rate, from those 12K high resolution photos dumped, somebody put this together:

That sequence was taken maybe 40 minutes or so after TLI, and that is indeed how fast the earth was shrinking over less than a minute, so fast were they going then. And see all the little dots of light? Those are satellites reflecting sunlight. You can see the north and south aurora flickering. And it's claimed you can see lightning flashes all over, but I can't really tell.
That's the night side of earth, camera ISO turned way up. The Sun is on the other side, and the earth is being lit by moonlight. This was not possible back in the Apollo days with film.

Agreed. Carnival was decent 10-15 years ago. I probably won't go on them again after the last one a couple years back. No section-8 brawls at the buffet, but about that level of trashy.
Royal is pretty fun, though, and I haven't had a bad cruise on their ships.
And they're less crowded; Carnival puts about 30% more cabins on the same size ships compared to Royal, I think. They've become the Spirit Airlines of cruises.

Exactly. Royals buffet area is always big and spacious. Their ships seems to always have more area to move around. I was on the maiden voyage cruise of the Grand Princess from the Princess line. The buffet area was so chopped up and laid out so stupid and cramped you felt like a rat running a maze.

And OBDII code reader should be able to identify which O2 sensor is bad. Might just be a bad wire, too. Sensors are down low on exhaust pipe, and wires can get snagged by debris on road. There should be 4 sensors, two upstream of the cats that tell the ECM what the fuel burn is doing, and two downstream, to verify that the cats are properly burning the unburned hydrocarbons.
Most autoparts stores can read codes for you; you should not have to be guessing.

1) use ozempic to get rid of what you consider to be problem fat.
2) doesn't this mean you have an exit strategy for after the weight is lost. Go off and keep exercising? See if it comes back or you can keep it off?
3) or is this plastic surgery psychosis on a massive scale where they get lost in it?
4) this cannot be good for their brains

So, there are several different personality types regarding food, and I think only a couple are well-suited to use a GLP-1 well. One is the very disciplined type, like garrett who quits smoking every year for cycling, and there are similarly people who can treat their eating like dialing in settings on a bio machine.
A type that would not manage it well is food addicts who will use the first type as an excuse for not managing their mindset, setting themselves up for failure by pretending they "just need to use willpower" like the disciplined ones. They will crash diet for awhile, then bounce back in perpetual yo-yos, and GLP-1s would just add oomph to the crash phase.

I feel bad for the control addicts in this case, because they are likely to end up abusing GLP-1s to the point of anorexia. They might look like the disciplined ones superficially, at first, but they are not in control of their need to feel in control. And healthy maintenance doesn't feed that need, since it's not visibly forcing themselves beyond limits.
But there is one other group that can use them well, and that is the type that can "manage themselves on purpose," accepting that they have irrational drives to manipulate and triggers to avoid. They might need professional help, but ultimately they can pick out a set of eating habits that would suffice to sustain the target weight and nothing more. Then, by eating that way, they might only lose as little as a pound a week; but then, upon reaching the target weight, they would not have to change a single solitary habit. GLP-1s add the advantage of removing temptation, making it easier to stick to it, so then they might need to find a small maintenance dose (perhaps with a compounding pharmacy or whatever they're called).
But there is no such thing as magic bullets where human psychology is involved.

Downstream sensors usually don't affect how the car runs. They are there to ensure that the catalytic converters are performing as they should. But if you have to do emissions testing they needs to be working.
Check for damaged wires. Uncouple and reconnect the harness plugs to the sensors. Might clear some subtle corrosion causing a fault signal.

P013A is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code indicating O2 Sensor Slow Response - Rich to Lean (Bank 1, Sensor 2). This code triggers when the downstream oxygen sensor, located after the catalytic converter on the engine bank containing cylinder 1, fails to switch voltage levels rapidly enough during fuel mixture transitions.
Common causes and symptoms include:
Faulty Downstream O2 Sensor: The sensor may be aged, contaminated, or defective, which is the most frequent trigger for this code.
Exhaust Leaks: Leaks near or before the Bank 1 Sensor 2 can introduce false air readings, causing slow response times.
Catalytic Converter Issues: A degraded or failing catalytic converter can alter exhaust gas composition, affecting sensor performance.
Wiring or Connector Problems: Damaged harnesses, corrosion, or poor ground signals can disrupt the sensor's electrical communication with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Fuel System Issues: Problems such as clogged injectors, vacuum leaks, or a faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor can create rich or lean conditions that overwhelm the sensor.

First was NBC rewrites Kimba the White Lion for an American audience.
Then we get the likes of Screamline who does the same for the likes of Silent Mobius - Attacked Mystification Police becomes Abnormal Mystery Police.
For aberration, there is the English dub of Ghost Story where the whole staff went full LeRoy Jenkins on mangling the script to shockingly funny effect.
For awhile we had more professional translations- thanks Neil Nadelman and other real fans.
But then the Canadians and Funimation started to dominate the American side and things went to scheiss.
Maybe we will now see a swing back to accurate translations because the Japanese will use AI.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid? That's about a 3/10 on the "odd Japanese anime things" scale, maybe?
Anime is usually better in Japanese with subtitles.
1. The Japanese voice actors are almost always technically better, which is at least better for all the foley effects (everything but the talking)
B. The localization of the dubbed version will usually be more "Americanized" than the subtitled version, which may help with some of those themes. When they're identical, all the weebs (shifty eyes) decry the "dubtitles."

Okay, according to Kelley Blue book, that is Bank 1, sensor 2. The downstream O2 sensor for the cylinder bank containing #1 cylinder. On a typical American V8, that would be the left side. For a transverse-mounted V6, you will have to find cylinder #1, and trace which exhaust pipe connects to it.

The Ozempic pens have tight control over the dose by means of clicks. There are a bunch of calibration lines, labeled at a few points. Mine is labeled at 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg, with a number of lines in between. I'll try to remember to count next time. Anyway, getting an intermediate dose would be no problem with the existing pens.
I haven't had to take daily insulin in over a year, and that's a good thing.

496, has the car by any chance been mysteriously losing coolant or brake fluid? If those fluids have needed unusual topping up, there might be head gasket leak (in the case of coolant) or master cylinder leak (in the case of brake fluid) permitting the leaked fluid to be burned in the engine. Combustion products of burned coolant or brake fluid can "poison" catalysts and O2 sensors.

Consider that at previous points in history vikings, pirates, and the like might've been disliked equally by their victims.

Democrats Just Can't Stop Tributing Nazis and Then Lying About It
Late last week, Mark Halperin reported that NRSC official told him that the dirt they're about to drop on the Nazi -- I guess being a Nazi isn't disqualifying in the "anti-Nazi party" -- that "he'll have to leave the state."
Now that is an exaggeration. But radio host and former Breitbart editor Larry O'Connor said he'd heard that too -- well, he said he did more than hear it.Larry said: "This is a bad man... I'm sorry, I hate to put it [in these terms,] but I have learned, and I haven't just heard, I know things about this person that will come out, the GOP is not joking about this, and frankly it goes beyond the Nazi tattoo." Now I generally trust Larry O'Connor but I didn't mention it because I hate getting too far ahead of the news. But his statement that he hasn't just "heard," but knows for a fact makes me think this won't just be another round of campaign-scuttlebutt that turns out to be vapornews. Meanwhile, a major Democrat donor is threatening a lawsuit against the Free Beacon because they "invaded her privacy" by reporting that she had freely admitted on a public post on social media that her grandfather had been a soldier in Hitler's army. She's claiming that doesn't make him a Nazi. Um... I guess? But she says he did escape to Brazil before the end of the war which, I don't know, I always kind of assumed was something that major Nazi figures did, and not just everyday soldiers in the Wehrmacht.
What an anodyne way to put it. He fought bravely in World War Two. But, you know, not for the army you might think. And she did this on... Veterans Day. American Veterans Day. On American Veterans Day, she decided to tribute a man who killed Americans. What a very weird Aryan flex on Veterans Day.
Kelly Neumann, a Michigan trial attorney and Democratic fundraiser, has threatened the Washington Free Beacon with "legal action" unless we retract our story about her Veterans Day Facebook post honoring her grandfather who served "on the German side" in World War II.
... "Happy Veterans Day to all my family and friends who serve/served!" Neumann's post read. "Interesting story, I do not talk much about but my Grandfather, Albert Neumann was on the German side in WWI & WWII. He escaped to Brazil with my father after Germany lost..."Very interesting story, brah.
The post included several photos of the Nazi soldier in his Wehrmacht uniform. Neumann recalled that her grandfather was one of the first people to accept her as gay, which proved that "people can change and love can indeed win."Well as long as your Nazi Army opa who fled to Brazil after the war was okay with you being a lesbian, everything's cool. There were Very Fine People on both sides, would you say...? This isn't such a big deal, I guess. But what makes it creepy is that this woman, who obviously did not fall far from the fascist tree, is now threatening the Free Beacon unless they retract their 100% true story which merely quotes what she herself admitted.
Last week, the Free Beacon received a letter from Neumann's attorney demanding a "formal retraction" of the "false and defamatory" statement in the article. The letter was signed by Eugenie B. Eardley, another Michigan trial attorney who describes herself as the "First Lady of Law." She even has her own catch phrase--"seriously serious about the law"--which is ironic given the profound unseriousness of the threatening letter she wrote on Neumann's behalf. For example, Eardley suggested the Free Beacon had not merely defamed her client, but may have also invaded her privacy by reporting on a post she made on the public Facebook account where she routinely shares photos of herself cavorting with Democratic politicians. That's because Neumann made the post "in her private capacity as a granddaughter," which sounds like nonsense.It is nonsense. A public utterance is a public utterance. You cannot transmute it into private, confidential information by later claiming "I only said that publicly in my capacity as a private citizen who loves her Wehrmacht opa." Her lawyer said that the Free Beacon falsely claimed he was a member of the S.S., which they said they never did. They also say they never identified him as a Nazi, but... I mean... he did flee to Brazil. I assume it wasn't just because he likes the lambada (the forbidden dance). Democrats like the "I'm not an X I'm just a Y" defense. "I'm not a socialist I'm just a liberal" which is now "I'm not a communist I'm just a socialist." And now: "He's not SS he was just a soldier in Hitler's army who fled to Brazil after the war." More from Ed Driscoll at Instapundit:

Oh, I don't know. I'd say having a Totenkopf SS tattoo is about Platner at least in part. It's disqualifying either because having it makes him a Nazi, makes him an admirer of Nazis, or makes him too uninformed or dumb to hold office. It reflects moral or political unfitness for office.
Now, if someone wants to make the case that it also shows what grossly inept liars newsmen and commentators on the left are, fine and well. But Platner sucks even more than his dumb apologists in my book.

The Germans as a group knew is would get even more ugly if the Soviets invaded. He'll, it was something like 11 million wehrmacht were sent into the gulags after the war. That speaks nothing of the rapes.

Hitler was their "Man of the Year" until he turned on their other socialist to the east.
As I said earlier, at this rate, by late July, the Dems will be arguing that Nazism was good in theory it's just that Hitler had it wrong.
And, simultaneously, the only way you can prove you're not a fascist is to vote for the guy who wishes Hitler had won.

1914 - 1918, so if he joined at age 16 towards the end of the war he’d have to had been born at least by 1902.

“ Dear Readers; we are very sorry for implying that Grandpa Neumann was a Nazi, when all we know for sure is that he spent 5 years of his life serving Herr Hitler, and that he swore a personal oath of loyalty to him. Maybe he didn’t really mean it, we don’t know.
Also, while it is true that many high ranking Nazi’s escaped to South America to escape war crimes prosecutions, it is probably just a coincidence that he did the same thing at the same time, possibly on the same boat as some of them.
And furthermore, although we don’t know where he got the funds to make the journey, there is no evidence to support the rumor that a good friend of his gave him a bag full of gold fillings taken from the teeth of cremated Jews.
We hope you will accept our apologies. “

WWI and WWII? Dude was a died in the wool national socialist. He volunteered to join the german army during WWII because he was way over the age limit for conscription even at the very end of the war.

As far as rounding up and hanging all the Nazis in 1945, I am sure it was considered, but the Russians and American armies had just liberated concentration camps, death camps and labor camps, and I suspect no one who had even read up on the reports would have consented to participate in a second genocide.
anyone you meet who suggests it would have been good or useful to do so probably hasn't got a clue as to what they are talking about and considers a tragedy to be "not getting sprinkles and nutmeg on their latte. "

If the guy did serve in WWI and WWII he was at least 40 years old at the beginning of WWII in 1940, he was not conscripted at that point, if he was in the german army then he was 100% a volunteer and most likely a nazi.
He might have been shanghaied at the end of the war and put in a volkstruum unit in April 1945 and shoved out the door with a panzerfaust in Berlin to stop the russians as noted above, but those guys did not get trips on submarines to Brazil at the end of the war if they survived.

Before that, there was a good number of Americans that were for Nazi Germany. All the fluff pieces in the newspaper, proping up Adolf and the German machine. But wasn't it only after he attacked their Communist lover, the USSR, that said papers and the left turned against him?
And given the outright antipathy to Israelies and to Jews in general, they'd be perfectly fine with it. After all, they and much of Europe still haven't forgiven the Jews for the death camps.
Case in point: They LOVED Russia before Trump. Remember the TurboCharge button? And when Romney claimed Russia was our #1 threat, Obama pooh-pooh'ed it? If it weren't for Hillary and her "Russian Collusion" witch's brew, they would have been funding Russia to attack Ukraine. But TDS controls everything they do.
Another reminder - the Burisma corruption got swept under the rug. Biden even admitted it, live on air. Yet *TRUMP* was the corrupt one and was impeached?

Yet Another Deranged Democrat (One Assumes) Has Been Shot for Approaching the White House While Brandishing a Gun
Via Instapundit, and a helpful commenter "Tuna" who actually pulls his weight and doesn't just babble about Abby Shapiro's boobs*:
🚨 UPDATE: An individual has been SHOT by Secret Service at 15th Street & Independence Ave (near White House).
— Alec Lace (@AlecLace) May 4, 2026
The individual is in custody. He reportedly had a gun.
His condition is currently unknown. All Secret Service officers safe. pic.twitter.com/kSaBQELS52
"Judge Zia Faruqui apologized to suspect Cole Allen for the treatment he's received so far while he has been behind bars. He's been put on suicide watch by the Department of Corrections, and the judge was asking why. An attorney from the government said that he was put on suicide watch because he told FBI agents that night of the White House Correspondents' dinner attack that he didn't expect to survive, and his language suggested that he really was not expecting to survive his trip to Washington, D.C., and the ultimate incident where he allegedly showed up with a weapon to try and assassinate President Trump. He's been charged with that crime. "But the judge, very concerned about his constitutional rights, saying the defendant has requested a Bible, has requested meetings with his legal team, and that has not been allowed, he's been put in restrictive, 24 hour lockup, with no windows and a padded room without an opportunity to get out for recreation. So the judge making it clear that he wants answers by tomorrow morning about exactly what the housing determination will be made for the suspect in this case, out of grave concern about his constitutional rights. And that apology issued near the end of the hearing. And so, quite a moment just moments ago in federal court. "Bottom line: Department of Correction said they wanted to make sure that he survived, that this is a high-profile case. All involved acknowledged it was a high-profile case. Again, the judge concerned about the treatment he's gotten since he was arrested after the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting incident. Sandra, back to you."
As I have reported—Zia Faruqui signed arrest warrants for hundreds of J6ers.

At a hearing on Monday, Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui compared the conditions of Allen’s confinement to those of the people charged with crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, saying they were treated better than Allen was.
https://tinyurl.com/4tczkzfn
I sincerely doubt that he's being treated worse than the J6ers.
All they did was hold him in a suicide watch cell (padded walls, no visits, no calls, and wearing a straight-jacket type outfit).
That isn't unusual for somebody in his position with his charges.
This judge needs to recuse himself, but that'll never happen now that he's opened his mouth in court and proven his own biases now and previously.
The DC circuit is totally compromised by the radical left.

The left has this Trump-based revenge-fantasy genocide they wish had happened to the South after the Civil War to cope with losing in 2016 and 2024.
They have now moved past dreaming of killing Trump as a means to regain power:
Now, it's a means to exterminate all conservatives.
Also, you know the biggest reason so many on the left were so gleeful at the murder of Charlie Kirk?
Because in their hearts, it made them happy to see conservative mourn.
They are no different today than they were when they were laughing at parents in Cambodia crying as their babies were thrown against trees.

Dang. I'm sorry I missed this on the earlier thread. Ft Huachuca (pronounced Wha-chu-ka) is my old stomping ground. Stationed there for four years and oversaw training for the officers in the Army's Military Intelligence Branch. A great assignment. And while there are more than 12 LTCs there, few work together in the same units and all are far too busy to even tolerate Owens' bullshit.

This something I just do not understand. Why are foreigners put into such positions of power, to judge Americans on being American?
A law needs to be passed that a person cannot be appointed as a judge unless born in the US. They can be lawyers all they want but not judges particularly now that they are acting against the President.

Attacks against the U.S. Supreme Court calling it illegitimate. The Hill, "Last week, Jeffries called a recent Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act “unacceptable” in a press conference, while also calling the high court’s conservative majority “illegitimate.”

This is a long game they've been playing & O began it before Hillary lost and the Trump's 1st administration.
Coupled w/C19 that affected at least half of the population's stupidity and sanity levels, and the constant pounding of DEI, hatred of Bibi, rise of Ukraine, mass immigration in the west, tax/eat the rich(er), we're like rats in a maze.

Charlie Kirk's Head of Security Sues Cavernous Nostrils for Defamation After She Repeatedly Insinuates He Was Part of a French/Israeli/Egyptian/US Plot to Kill "Her Best Friend"
Can't wait until Erik Kirk drops her own massive, billion-dollar lawsuit on Gal Sharpton's head.
No lies detected.
The former head of security for Charlie Kirk sued podcaster Candace Owens on Thursday for defamation, claiming that she falsely implicated him in a conspiracy to assassinate Kirk. The former security chief, Brian Harpole, alleged that Owens, a right-wing firebrand, inaccurately accused him of meeting with Kirk's wife, Erika, at a military base a day before Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University in September. He is also suing Mitch Snow, a retired Army sergeant who stated on Owens' podcast that he was an eyewitness to what he described as the secret encounter. In the 69-page lawsuit, Harpole, who owns a private security firm and worked for Kirk for several years, accused Owens of "engaging in a coordinated and deliberate campaign designed to defame" him. He denied any involvement in any plot to assassinate Kirk and called Owens a "conspiracy theorist" who displayed a "pattern of seeking public attention and media exposure."
... A spokesperson for Owens said she had no comment beyond what she said on her podcast. Snow did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ... In July, Owens was sued for defamation by Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, for claiming she is transgender.... Last month, Trump got involved, posting on Truth Social that Owens is an "extremely Low IQ individual" and sharing a doctored image that referred to Owens as "vile person of the year." He also called Owens' claims about Brigitte Macron "despicable." Two members of Congress this week introduced a bipartisan House resolution condemning Owens, as well a left-wing livestreamer, for "antisemitic hate-filled rhetoric."
KanekoaTheGreatThe fact that Cavernous Nostrils knew that Harpole wasn't anywhere near Fort Huachuca the day the French/Israeli/Egyptian/US Military assassination-plotters were meeting will satisfy the absurd rule in defamation that you can only be sued for defaming a public figure if you acted with "reckless indifference" as to whether your defmation was true or false.
@KanekoaTheGreat
BREAKING: Brian Harpole -- Charlie Kirk's chief of security -- has filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens and her source Mitchell Snow. Owens publicly accused Harpole of conspiring with the U.S. military at Fort Huachuca to assassinate Charlie Kirk, alongside Erika Kirk, Rep. Mark Amodei, and Cabot Phillips. Her own words promoting the story: "Charlie Kirk was assassinated and our military was involved. I can't wait to share this information with you guys." The story rested entirely on Mitchell Snow, who claimed he "inadvertently" walked into a top-secret meeting at the Army base on September 9, 2025 -- the day before the assassination -- where Harpole and twelve lieutenant colonels were allegedly finalizing the plot to assassinate Charlie Kirk. Per the complaint, the claim is verifiably false: → Harpole was in Dallas that morning.
→ He has never been to Fort Huachuca.
→ Owens had his flight records -- she admitted as much on X -- yet kept publishing anyway. From the complaint: "Without even a modicum of substantiated evidence, she has publicly accused Harpole of foreknowledge, participation in, and cover-up of the assassination of Charlie Kirk." 69 pages. Jury trial demanded. Seeking millions of dollars. Filed today in Tennessee.
Dana Loesch reminded me the other day that Gal Sharpton's first attention-getting media play was... doxxing GamerGate conservatives. Cavernous Nostrils has since advanced a new conspiracy theory: All of the defamation lawsuits against her are not caused by her rapid-fire Tourettes-like machine-gun defamation of everyone in the world, but by... Perfidious Jew Ben Shapiro.

@bren45000 2h Candace is having a Britney Spears moment. Let me explain what she just said: 1. Candace slanders Erika Kirk and accuses her of murdering her husband. 2. Candace implies that Charlie's head of security actually wanted him to be assassinated ... and intentionally orchestrated his murder. 3. Laura Loomer got annoyed with Candace attacking innocent people and decided to hit back by exposing some dirt from Candace's history--her husband's DUI and firearm charge. 4. And now Candace, instead of taking any responsibility whatsoever, has decided that the REAL CULPRIT behind everything is actually ....... Ben Shapiro ...... because he is a Jew. Makes complete sense. Nothing delusional at all about this.

Not only is her "husband" gay, but a while back Candace wrote an op/ed about why it actually is perfectly fine for a straight women to marry a gay man as long as he's nice to her and pays her bills. Reads more like a confession than an argument.

Speaking of mice: My big black Stirling cat has racked up a kill!
Well, I *think* he did. This morning I found a still little mouse body on the bedroom floor. He did not look mutilated, so perhaps Stirling (I'm pretty sure it was him and not Dagny, but who knows) just knocked him around until he died. Anyway, I tossed the body out on the front lawn, to return him to the environment.
That was about 8 am. At 8:30 I left the apartment and looked, and he was gone. Either he was unconscious and not dead when I found him -- I didn't check for mouse breathing -- woke up and ran away, or a crow or feral cat got itself a treat this morning.

I read a bit of background - Harpole had tickets and travel receipts proving that he was in DFW at the time this alleged meeting in Arizona took place. He provided this info to Candace when she told him she was looking at it - and she then publicly accused him of being at that meeting AFTER she was shown the evidence that he was 2 states away at the time.
This is most likely enough to pass the "Actual Malice" test for a defamation lawsuit. Candace knew the accusations were false when she broadcast them.

Everything is a question. "Just wondering!" "Just asking...!" I think it's mainly a way of avoiding lawsuits, but there's no value to a bunch of questions without answers. Any 2 year old can ask questions.

Ita the same phenomenon ace observed on this very page 20 years ago with John Fucking Kerry. 'Some people say' is the same passive aggressive cock gobbling that 'Just asking questions' is now. It allows you to say something outrageous and then if someone calls your ass, you retreat to it just being something you heard or that you were asking a question.

When he's asked who this " " " They " " " are whom he claims he "knows" are attacking Vance, he says "I honestly don't know."
The only person/people from 'the right' who I've seen attack Vance is Fuentes & the Groypers because Vance married an Indian woman and they are flat-out racists..
You know, the same Nick Fuentes Tucker interviewed last year like an excited schoolboy meeting his new hero.
Now it's Rubio the neocon behind it all?

R - Yes, the Hodgetwins (Keith and Kevin Hodge) have historically and consistently defended Tucker Carlson.
Defending Content and Narrative: The Hodgetwins have defended Carlson against criticism regarding his interviews and narratives, arguing that he was targeted for not conforming to mainstream media narratives.
Support via Media: They have featured discussions on their platforms, including appearing on Megyn Kelly's show to argue that leaked videos of Carlson actually "humanized" him rather than damaging his reputation.
Alignment on Issues: The Hodgetwins have aligned with Carlson on various, sometimes controversial, political stances, including criticizing US foreign policy and, in some instances, joining him in questioning pro-Israel perspectives within the conservative movement.
Support for Supporters: They have amplified support for Carlson from other figures, such as highlighting* when JD Vance defended him at Turning Point USA.
They are part of a broader "internet right" ecosystem that often acts as a protective, media-focused coalition for figures like Carlson and Donald Trump.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at May 04, 2026 05:33 PM (NFX2v)
Key highlights as of May 2026:
Podcast Appearance & Political Discussion: Charlie Sheen appeared on the "Hodgetwins Podcast" (published May 2, 2026), where he discussed Tucker Carlson, suggesting that many people would support a presidential bid from him. (More)
So, Tucker Carlson's Neoconservative or part of the Left to takedown Trump BUT not outright saying so * as son, Buckley, continues to work for J.D. Vance.
Again, completely sick of Carlson & Owens, and Erica is beginning to wear on me.

No, Buckley Carlson is no longer with Vice President JD Vance's office. As of April 2026, he left his position as deputy press secretary to transition into the private sector, specifically to start a political consulting firm.
While reports noted his departure during tensions between his father, Tucker Carlson, and the administration, officials stated he planned to leave in December 2025 and stayed for a smooth transition.

They would just find a way to shoehorn Jews into the other topic anyway. Find UFO researchers that were ELOW (Early Life on Wikipedia) and, after controversial debunkings, mysteriously disappeared (into a Mossad asset protection program?!? just asking!!). Or, find a newly discovered ancient Judaic tradition of faking cryptids. Or something.
It's a lazy man's cult leader technique. You need the appearance of having secret wisdom that the mark can't get anywhere else, so once you latch onto a thematic element in your secret history of the world, just keep on elaborating on it in every other context. Don't make it too complicated, or you'll trip yourself up trying to remember which things are Illuminati and which are reptilians (BIRM).

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has created a special team of criminal investigators to root out immigration fraud, equipping newly designated special agents with expanded law enforcement powers to investigate, arrest and prosecute violators and even denaturalize cheaters. "We're going to get to a place where people are going to know that if they file, and they're going to file something fraudulently, or they're not giving us their full story, we're going to find that," United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow told Just The News. ... Edlow announced the initiative in September under a final rule that allows the agency to hire and train 1811-classified officers who can carry firearms, execute warrants and handle cases from start to finish without always referring them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
... In one early test of the heightened scrutiny, USCIS's Operation Twin Shield in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area uncovered suspected fraud in 275 of more than 1,000 cases reviewed during a 10-day surge of site visits and interviews. Edlow declared the operation part of a broader crackdown. "USCIS is declaring an all-out war on immigration fraud," he said. "We will relentlessly pursue everyone involved in undermining the integrity of our immigration system and laws." ... Individuals found to have committed immigration fraud, particularly in procuring naturalization through concealment of material facts, willful misrepresentation or illegal means, face potential denaturalization and subsequent deportation, according to U.S. law and ongoing enforcement actions. .. Recent examples include filings against naturalized citizens involved in tax fraud schemes, identity concealment to evade prior deportation orders and naturalization fraud via fake divorce decrees.

@patobonato Translated from Spanish 🇸🇪 Sweden has just approved that to obtain citizenship, the following must be required: - 8 years of residence
- Stable income
- NOT having received social benefits
- Swedish language exam
- Exam on Swedish values and society If you don't speak the language or don't demonstrate that you understand how Sweden works → they won't give you citizenship. Will this be the end of progressive Sweden?

Maybe the invaders already in Sweden don't want any more competition at this point, so they're fine with a stricter citizenship policy.
I notice that there are only restrictions on citizenship mentioned. What about shutting off the flood of phony-baloney 'asylum seekers' and other non-citizen intruders?

According to it, the British imported tons of cheap African labor into majority white cities to undercut the white workers.
Soon, the population of those cities was over 50% African, so the natives (Afrikaners) tried to take steps to preserve their culture and way of life. Apartheid was the result - and we see how that turned out. Probably really simplified, but it made sense.
Hopefully European countries react before it's too late, but it's probably too late already.

But the most-common definition is just Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Checking DDG, the whole first page agrees on the three-country version, except for the website "ThoughtCo" that lists only the five-country one. Though the only good-enough-for-college reference on page one was Encyclopedia Britannica. It's mostly mapping-software and tourism-related links.
(I thought the five-or-six-country definition was the standard one, once, and got corrected. On this website, actually.)

According to it, the British imported tons of cheap African labor into majority white cities to undercut the white workers.
Soon, the population of those cities was over 50% African, so the natives (Afrikaners) tried to take steps to preserve their culture and way of life. Apartheid was the result - and we see how that turned out. Probably really simplified, but it made sense.
Hopefully European countries react before it's too late, but it's probably too late already.

Brits (and other European powers) loved divide and conquer in its colonies by siding with this faction and then that faction. They had fought the Boer wars to essentially grab the diamond mines for example and were perfectly content to play the Boers off against the newcoming cheap labor forces.
Divide and conquer let the colonizers keep order with fewer troops than simply occupation.

Every society has elites complaining about the work ethic of the locals and wanting cheap labor. Eternal constant because none of the ruling class much likes to break a sweat (or their back) doing hard manual labor.
Societies that make common labor expensive may hurt profitability of corporations and land barons but have less social unrest, petty crime, and welfare usage as a consequence.
The best social welfare program in the world is a job, preferably private sector.

Of course, Mazzini made it all a moot point by leaving his memoirs in his cell...

Speaking of mice: My big black Stirling cat has racked up a kill!
Well, I *think* he did. This morning I found a still little mouse body on the bedroom floor. He did not look mutilated, so perhaps Stirling (I'm pretty sure it was him and not Dagny, but who knows) just knocked him around until he died. Anyway, I tossed the body out on the front lawn, to return him to the environment.
That was about 8 am. At 8:30 I left the apartment and looked, and he was gone. Either he was unconscious and not dead when I found him -- I didn't check for mouse breathing -- woke up and ran away, or a crow or feral cat got itself a treat this morning.

Self-Proclaimed "Snapchat King" Eric Swalwell Sent Videos of Himself Masturbating to More Women, and Is Also Now Using Snapchat to Attack Women for Talking About His Masturbation Videos
Snapchat is a messaging app whose chief selling point is that messages and photos disappear after being viewed or after a period of time (if unviewed). It is purpose-built for adultery and dicpics.
Former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell was accused by multiple women of sending sexual messages, including "videos of him masturbating," after becoming one of the first members of Congress to join Snapchat in an effort to restore "faith" in "democracy." In a bombshell report on Sunday -- less than a month after Swalwell resigned from Congress after being accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women -- CNN spoke to "more than a dozen" women who claimed the congressman had made them feel uncomfortable, both in person and online, over the past decade. Several women told CNN that the congressman had sent them sexually explicit messages on Snapchat after he became "one of the first lawmakers to join Snapchat" and was heralded in the media as "the Snapchat king of Congress," according to CNN. "We can restore a lot of faith that people have in their democracy by opening it up a little bit more," Swalwell told The Hill in 2016 after joining the messaging service. "Snapchat is a great way to do that."
And he's still doing it. Even as he's being investigated (supposedly) in California and New York for rape, he's still sending out Snapchat messages to his victims. John Sexton, quoting CNN:
However, it allegedly wasn't long before the congressman began to use his Snapchat account for purposes other than politics. One young woman claimed Swalwell would send her Snapchat messages about her future, before asking inappropriate questions such as, "What are you wearing?" Two other women told CNN that Swalwell sent them "sexually explicit messages and unsolicited nude photos and videos of himself" in 2021, while a third woman also claimed to have received "sexually tinged messages and videos." ... During the relationship, Swalwell reportedly sent "nude photos of himself and videos of him masturbating," which showed the congressman's "face and naked body." The videos, which were saved by the woman, were shown to CNN. "His stories would be his, like, congressional content, but then he would be sending me dick pics," she alleged, adding that Swalwell sent her another "explicit video" late last year, just weeks before he announced his 2026 California gubernatorial campaign. In another alleged case, Swalwell reportedly wrote a letter of recommendation for a woman he had never met after sending her flirty Snapchat messages about her "sexy pajamas."
Another young woman who connected online with Swalwell about a policy issue said he repeatedly sent her suggestive messages, offered to fly her to DC, and even wrote her a letter of recommendation despite never meeting in person. "He would Snapchat me. He'd be like, 'What do you want to do with your future?'" she recalled. "And then he'd be like, 'What are you wearing right now?'" More than a dozen women who spoke with CNN described interactions with Swalwell that made them uncomfortable over the last decade, from social media messages to in-person encounters to alleged attempts by the congressman to lure them to his hotel room. Some asked not to be named out of fear of retaliation. ... Similarly, Swalwell met Amanda Koski, a former Hill staffer and political operative, when she served him and his family while waitressing at a DC pizza restaurant. He asked for her phone number and later started messaging her about her involvement in politics, she told CNN... The night after CNN spoke with Azari about the women's claims, Swalwell sent Koski a Snapchat message at 1:57 a.m. Eastern -- asking why she had screenshotted his chats and including screencaps of texts between the two of them. "Given the accusations against him, attempting to gaslight or intimidate a woman on Snapchat at 2:00 a.m. isn't overly becoming of a person who has 'done no wrong,'" Koski told CNN.Why are you saying I sexually harassed you when I sent you pictures of my dick? I wasn't harassing you. I just wanted your medical opinion about whether the mole on the tip of my penis looks cancerous or sexy. I thought it looked like a helmeted Cindy Crawford but I was a little worried about the uneven edges.

That's why you use a second phone or camera to record the "chats".

There are dueling trends on social media.
Men: "I'm gonna say something, and don't get mad about it", implying sexual attraction to a large breasted woman with glasses but who is also certifiably crazy.
Women: "I'm gonna say something, and don't get mad about it," implying sexual attraction to Pyramid Head from Silent Hill or some kind of ripped monster trying to tear a woman to shreds

3. What is this person's gender?
How to answer question 3
Select the response that indicates the person's gender. The write-in response "Or please specify this person's gender" is included to allow people to self-identify in an inclusive and respectful way.
A person's gender may differ from their sex at birth and from what is indicated on their current identification or legal documents, such as their birth certificate, passport or driver's licence. A person's gender may change over time. Some people may not identify with a specific gender.
Respondents answering on behalf of other people in their household, such as parents answering on behalf of their children, should answer—to the best of their knowledge—what they think other household members would answer.

Because the poor dear went 39 seconds without access to his lawyer while in the ICE detention center.
But the J6 folks deserve 3 years in solitary before rubber-stamping a decade-long conviction for "parading without a license."
They are cartel judges because they don't work for Americans but will whore themselves out to any enemy that waves a few dollars in their faces.

I'm so old we barely had photography when FenSpouse and I were dating😉 ok maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. But we didn't have cell phone so you couldn't do a selfie and send it off. He never asked me for nude photos and he never sent me nude photos of himself. I would have thought it was odd if he had done that.

It was something to the effect that a virus was placed on my computer, including the camera and microphone and it captured all of my intimate moments. Those videos have already been edited and will be sent to all my contacts - I have none - if I didn't pay them.
And I remember another story where guys would jack off what they thought were women courtesy of AI and would be recorded. Blackmail later happened.

Iran Fires on Ships and US Navy Responds by Sinking Six of their "Fast Assault Boats"
Live Updates: U.S. sinks 6 small Iranian boats as Iran launches attacks on UAE and a ship in Strait of Hormuz Iran launched its first missile and drone attack on the United Arab Emirates since a ceasefire with the U.S. took effect on April 8, and it fired two drones at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, UAE authorities said Monday. The U.S. military said two commercial vessels safely transited the strait amid "efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping" under the Project Freedom initiative announced by President Trump. The Iranian regime says it received a U.S. response to its latest 14-point peace proposal, which it says is aimed at ending the war, not extending the current ceasefire. Mr. Trump said over the weekend that he'd likely reject the Iranian proposal, as "they have not paid a big enough price."Trump just stated that hostilities were officially concluded, backdating this to the start of the "hot ceasefire." That satisfies the 60-days-without-congressional-authorization demand of the unconstitutional War Powers Act. What Iran absolutely should not do is attack American ships, because that would give Trump full legal authorization to counterattack them on his own authority. And guess what they say they did?
... Iranian state media said earlier that forces fired "warning" shots, including missiles and drones, at a U.S. destroyer as it neared the Strait of Hormuz in the Sea of Oman. CENTCOM said two U.S.-flagged commercial vessels transited the strait Monday under the auspices of Project Freedom, an initiative announced by President Trump on Sunday for the U.S. military to guide ships through the waterway. Iranian authorities insist the strait is closed and only vessels with explicit permission from its military will be permitted to pass, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent insisted Monday that the U.S. has full control over the waterway.Apparently they're now claiming they didn't attack-attack Navy ships. I don't know if they did or they didn't. I think their statement that they did should be taken at face value. Trump announced that US Navy ships will escort tankers through the Strait, beginning today, in another attempt to defeat Iran's use of the price of oil against him.
President Trump said the U.S. Navy will start guiding ships from foreign countries through the Strait of Hormuz from Monday and warned that if Iran tries to disrupt the process, the American military will use force. Why it matters: This move that Trump called "Project Freedom" is the most significant step by his administration to try and reopen the key strait since Iran shut it down early in the war. While Trump claims the move is "humanitarian," it is a clear U.S. challenge to Tehran's effort to control the strait. An Iranian military response could spark a confrontation or even an escalation back to war.Iran's attempt to shut down the free navigation of ships is also an act of war that authorizes Trump's retaliation on his own authority. Update: CENTCOM is using slippery language -- they say they'll be guiding ships through the Strait, not escorting them. I am guessing this is for legal reasons. Trump doesn't want his domestic disloyal opposition claiming that if he "escorts" ships that's a violation of the War Powers Act.

Looks like Trump is now going to stick US ships out there and hope Iran shoots at them, justifying the restart of full hostilities.
Iran knows that, and so far will try to shoot at everything around the US ships but not directly at them.
This is a ridiculous situation with a thousand ways to go wrong very quickly.

Truth Social
Iran has taken some shots at unrelated Nations with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM, including a South Korean Cargo Ship. Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission! We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, “fast” Boats. It’s all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, will have a News Conference tomorrow morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

President Trump isn't stupid so I don't see him being jacked around until 2027. But still. I imagine there's internal power struggles making things difficult.
On the plus side, the wells will be shut down soon so things will develop one way or another. Iran's new export can be virulent anti-Americanism.

Looking to me like what I had hoped for and sort of expected. Force the Strait open. Iran has to appear to try to resist, which (more importantly than stupid legal issues) will present to opportunity to degrade their last meaningful capability, actually to defeat it outright.
Assuming we liked what we've been seeing from the blockade/financial offensive, and wanted to give it time. Now we've assessed it's time to move back to kinetic solutions, as we can provoke Iran by perfectly nice sounding things like free navigation through an international waterway.
IDF has prepped a major onslaught and is just waiting for the go-ahead. "Tanned, rested, and ready".

Why? Well, Congress has funding power and can defund the operation whenever they want.
The War Powers Act may be of dubious constitutionality, but it's simply dead letter as long as Congress refuses to actually exercise its funding power which it hasn't done in like a hundred years.
Trump played it smart by emphasizing the pause in hostilities which brings it in alignment with the text of the War Powers Act, but he didn't really need to.

While I agree, that was under a Democrat president and congress (and the media) would behave very differently if Trump tried that.
Trump played it smart by emphasizing the pause in hostilities which brings it in alignment with the text of the War Powers Act, but he didn't really need to.
I agree completely with his interpretation; if any military act at all instantly invokes the law, then any cessation of it should end its applicability. There is literally no mechanism in the law to say "these are the conditions under which the law allows you to attack again."

President DJT made the right move - The US is simply enforcing the right of passage through the Hormuz Strait. No sane state in the in world disputes that right. Providing "guidance" to commercial shipping is as old as the US Mediterranean Squadron patrolling the sea lanes around the Barbary pirate lairs (the "shores of Tripoli", as the Hymn goes). More than two hundred years of tradition.
Safe shipping, lower gas prices, happier allies, punishing pirates. A couple weeks of this and P-DJT can go to Congress and write his own ticket if he wants. I'd prefer that and a "Naval Construction Act". Waiting SIX years for the USS Stennis refit is outrageous!

I don't think the Navy normally operates the Apache.

Marines specifically rejected use of the Apache, preferring modernized Cobra variants. Why, I have no idea, but if I had to guess, I'd say that the Navy brass had something to do with it, fucking with the Corps because they can, and they're part of the Navy Department, but not the pretty part that serves Admirals foie gras on expensive china.

These were the boats that were hassling shipping traffic in the PG/SOH during Operation Earnest Will in 1987. I flew a number of ISR missions out of Masirah Island, Oman back then and encountered these things frequently.
They have been upgraded a few times over the years since and now have anti-ship missile capability.

Or...
"Ukraine's air force reported that Russia launched at least 6,804 long-range drones and missiles into Ukraine in April, according to daily data published by the force and analyzed by ABC News, marking the most intense month of long-range aerial attacks of the war to date.
Ukraine's air force said it faced 6,663 drones and 141 missiles over one month of overnight attacks, of which nearly 88% of the drones and more than 62% of the missiles were intercepted or suppressed by Ukrainian defenses. [I say this needs a confirmation]
Ukraine faced a nightly average of around 222 drones and four missiles through April, the data suggests.
April's figures surpass the previous monthly record set in March, when Russia launched a total of 6,600 munitions -- 6,462 drones and 138 missiles -- per daily data published by the air force in Kyiv."

Posted by: Martini Farmer at May 04, 2026 01:36 PM (jehhT)
Navy MH-60s can carry Hellfire missiles. Anti-tank missiles that can easily destroy small boats.
The Marines operate AH-1Z Cobras.
Apaches and Cobras can carry pretty much the same missiles and missile load out. Apaches have a 30mm gun and 1200 rounds; AH-1Z Vipers (nee Cobras) have a 20mm gun and 750 rounds. If Apaches are being employed as convoy escorts they may flying escort sorties from a special Forward Arming and Vipers based on the in-area Amphib carriers or in land-based Marine Air Wings, could do the same, of course. However, it seems to me FARPS near the Strait would be prime targets for Iranian drones and short-medium range ballistic missiles. I do not believe either helo can be equipped with an air refueling probe kit.

So, we are now down to the laughably AUMF resolutions and the War Powers Resolution that every president declared was unconstitutional except for its reporting functions.
Trump is treating the War Power Resolution with the contempt it deserves by reporting to Congress a couple of days ago as per the Resolution that hostilities were concluded and thus the sixty day reset has occurred.
Scotus ain't gonna save the Dems bacon here because in such matters--even Dread Justice Taney in the Prize cases ruled that the president has war powers independent of congressional declarations. And that includes responding to threatened or actual retaliatory strikes.

To eliminate Iran's nuclear stockpile and to prevent Iran from building another nuclear stockpile for military purposes.
That's it.
Iran doesn't want to give up its weapons-grade nuclear stockpile and its ballistic missile capability (which Iran has repeatedly used against its neighbors) for delivering them.
"Closing" the Strait of Hormuz is Iran's most potent weapon for defending itself against the US and its allies.
Re-opening the Strait doesn't resolve the Iranian nuclear stockpile question, but it does weaken significantly the terrorist nation's capabilities.

Send constant encrypted traffic on the VLF, most of it nonsense. Difficult to tell if there's launch/guidance commands being sent unless you can break the encryption in real-time.
Of course, then that means your ground stations become great big targets, but there's always a trade-off.

Woke Pope Appoints an Illegal Alien as Bishop of West Virginia to Speak In Favor of Mass Amnesty, in a State That Is Only 2% Hispanic
Via Instapundit, reports that the pope is a woke buffoon and leftwing culture warrior have been proven 100% true, by his own actions.
The Washington Post
@washingtonpost Pope Leo's pick to be bishop of West Virginia is a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the U.S. in a car trunk. Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala has called for Catholics to speak out against President Trump's treatment of immigrants.
Hello! Happy New Week!
Steve Deace
@SteveDeaceShow This was not a dreamer. Evelio originally came here from El Salvador illegally as a grown man in 1990. He had already been deported at least once before. Soon after his arrival, he was granted TPS because of the civil war back home. Eventually learned English and became a US citizen in 2006. His is a sympathetic case from a bygone era when most of America thought we could look the other way at such things given the overall prosperous state of things. But we are not now in that era. Our national debt is now over 1,000% higher than it was when Evelio first arrived. Illegal immigration has swelled over 300%. Whole industries have replaced the American-born family man with illegal aliens. The amount of school children who only speak Spanish has doubled since 1990. The median age of a first time home buyer in 1990 was 28-30, while today it is 41. It was twice as likely a 30-year old man would be married with children in 1990 compared to now. Barely 2% of West Virginia is Hispanic. Barely 1% of the state speaks Spanish. This is a purely political appointment by a woke pope trying to shoehorn his open borders agenda into a state Trump has won by 40 points three times. There's nothing prophetic here, but it's all shamefully political. An open borders agenda the pope himself isn't forced to abide by, because Vatican City has strict enforcement policies and walls. This is like if MSNBC picked offices in the church, all the while never allowing the illegals in Martha's Vineyard where their primetime hosts spend their summers.

I really don't think the Pope's heavyhanded approach to politics is actually going to push the laity back to the left.
Hell, I attend church in the Diocese of Charlotte under Bishop Michael Martin, center of a series of big-ish blowups around the Latin mass.
No one cares. The priests never talk about it. The priests are all shockingly based (young guys less than a decade out of seminary, the African one in particular is based, who all take the mass much more seriously than the older ones they replaced) who stay away from politics and focus on the individual soul's obligations to God.
The American Church is going to change from the ground up, and the loss of govt contracts for Catholic Charities is going to accelerate that. Doesn't mean the next Pope will be Sarah, or anyone like him, but the overbearing political efforts are really going to fall on deaf ears.

It has survived other popes. It will certainly outlast this one.
It’s unfortunate he displays his fallibility in such a public way, by demurring to politic instead of tending the flock.
More people are coming back to church to find the unending love and truth of Jesus Christ. I can tell you first hand most don’t care what the pope says or does. They come to build their relationship with Jesus, in a traditional way according to scripture, not according to some obviously flawed Augustinian prelate

It's a story about how years and years of moral indignation from the Very Serious People™ class proved to be a paper-thin veneer over your team jerseys.

The Worldies are a proto-neo-ethnicity -- which is Morissettean ironic, since they fancy themselves above such things. From all over the world, they all send their kids to the same English-language schools, where they are indoctrinated in the same Social Justice cult and go on to marry only each other. It's early days yet, but ever since the invention of the jet airliner, the process has been inevitable.
And they're supremacists, too, for their proto-neo-ethnicity. So, even when they accidentally encounter an opinion from an unhyphenated national, they immediately discount and disregard it.

That is the thinnest of the thinnest gruel upon which to claim that the massive religious bureaucracy and hierarchy of the Catholic Church was ordained in that moment, or that a permanent position of supreme leader of the church was created to be filled serially by heretics, nepots, degenerates, South American socialists, and the occasional actual Christian following Catholic dogma.

A former illegal immigrant seems a rather interesting choice for a state that's overwhelmingly white and MAGA. I wonder if the Pope did that deliberately.
Sounds like the Pope is doing proper Pope things by giving us the medicine we need. "Bishop-designate Evelio Menjivar-Ayala speaks of the Christian values of caring for those in need, in opposition to President Trump's own xenophobic and racist rhetoric."
Every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.Hes a human, child of god and now the bishop of West Virginia.
Yeah, we see Christian nationalist evangelicals in the US embracing and praising serial lawbreakers, cheats, and generally bad people. Pope Leo is a refreshing change of pace from that outright hostility to what is good and just.
So now we have to watch Roman Catholicism fight Christian Nationalism. I thank the pope for using his influence to undermine the current regime but it would be nice if we could put all the mythology away.
West Virginia will remain red as long as Obama remains black.

A bishop has a public schedule where he will say Mass. Since he's in charge of the entire diocese, he tends to rotate the locations he says Mass each week, although he tends to say them most often at a Cathedral (if the diocese has one and he normally lives near that Cathedral).
A priest is assigned to a specific Church, and will say Masses just for that Church. Normally, in a healthy diocese, each Church will have 2-3 priests rotating the 5-6 Masses said on a weekend and the 2 daily Masses every weekday. In a less healthy or very small diocese, you might just have 1 priest per Church or even shared between 2 Churches. Then you have a reduced Mass schedule offered.

Yes this is how they think.
I know, but the numbers on this are pretty easy to run.
If 50% of illegals work, and you deported 2M of them, then anything over a one million count job loss means citizens gained jobs in this time.
I tried to find job loss/gain numbers since Trump was inaugurated and oddly their isn't a simple number anywhere - just lefties complaining about FedGov job losses.

I 've heard of a priest handling masses at several church. I haven't heard of a Bishop regularly filing in at one church. Bishops in other denominations show up when invited and do special events and do a lot of writing on various issues. You don't see them regularly unless you are being ordained so if WV has a small Roman Catholic population and already has priests it seems like he wouldn't show up that often.

Correct, hypocrisy means nothing to the left. Firstly, they have no integrity or honor to be offended or have shame about.
Second, the goal is not truth or to convince, its to conquer, to destroy. They are trying to bring down the culture and replace it, and to them it doesn't matter how you do it, only the end goal matters. It is so noble and heroic that it sanctifies any method they use.
Third, good and evil are rejected as outmode, oppressive concepts created by white males. Truth is what you make it, morality is simply that which accomplishes their ends.

The problem is that Beto came kind of close to Cruz in his first race and had something like an argument that he could win the presidential primary...which he lost badly, and then governorship, which he lost badly.
Platner's going to start by losing badly.
They'll toss him, blame white men, and, combined with Talarico's loss in Texas, just pave the way forward for the further blackening of the Democrat Party at the highest levels.

The most radical shit-posters and shit-talkers are the biggest winners, and their supporters are completely divorced from even the thought of any real world consequences.
It's much like the woman in Minnesota who was shocked that law enforcement was using real bullets. Everything to them is just one big LARP, and they think that if things go real bad they get to just hit reset and play again.

Everything I've read leads me to believe that the US Command didn't take them seriously, which I think has proven to be a mistake. On the other hand, it's been estimated that Iran may have 3,000 of these, and while in harbor they are virtually indistinguishable from civilian boats.

As you probably know, Las Vegas was a significant LDS city back in the 60s and 70s when I was growing up there (enjoyed many of the city & school leadership positions).
Virtually all of my high school friend were LDS, and they were always (lovingly) trying to convert me -- especially the babes! -- and I remain close to a handful to this day (all rock-ribbed patriotic conservatives; for the past four years we've gotten together in Provo to watch a BYU football game -- No More Scenic and Gorgeous Venue)!
Anywho, (sans individuals like Harry Reid, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, etl. al., I have tremendous respect for those of the LDS faith (even if the church leadership appears to have gone wobbly as regards #Woke).

The carrier groups are just the military side of things. The banking and diplomatic side are also hammering on the IRGC right now.
My prediction, delved out of my belly-button, is: Trump will start allowing the tankers that pay the Iranian bribe to sail, but will require the proceeds of the oil be funneled to an "Iranian state account" in a place like Qatar. Like Venezuela's forced agreement with the US the oil will be sold at market rates and the funds untouchable until the Iranians cry Uncle, and the ship owner will be recompensed out of that account for the bribe they paid to the IRGC to sail.

What does West Virginia not being Hispanic got to do with ANYTHING in this story?
Who cares? Or are you saying the Pope should pick bishops based on racial/ethnic lines?
The real question is whether it was a political appointment to poke Trump in the eye or not. Because the selection of a bishop should have nothing to do with politics. (Also, yes, the Roman church has spent about 1,500 years choosing leaders based on politics. Doing that with the archbishopric of Mainz is part of what started Martin Luther's part of the Reformation.)

Thank you. Two things I am not is a hypocrite or blind. This is the only way I pray for Leo and barely think of him otherwise. Which I may find out is wrong. However, being a conservative Presbyterian all of my life except the last two months is to blame. I stand firmly in what the PCA taught me. They don't bend to secular woke desires.
The main reason I left a perfectly good PCA Presbyterian local church is the lack of traditional music. The awful praise music, leaving the history of great music behind. The casualness of people during sermons getting coffee. The same message of the sermon, from a good pastor, weekly.
Whatever you find, wherever you find worship in your heart of God and the Trinity, there is where you need to be. Music plays a huge part of my worship and a piano, violin and great voices are what I desire at 0830 Mass.
I simply found my best worship in a local and huge Catholic parish in a conservative state. What they do in Rome barely makes my news, thoughts or prayers. My soul is all I need to save.

MORNING RANT: There’s a Growing Preference Cascade for More Red States to Revoke the ABA’s Monopoly on Law School Accreditation
Among the most powerful institutions captured by the left is the American Bar Association, with its monopoly power on law school accreditation. Until very recently, a degree from an ABA-accredited law school was necessary in all 50 states to be able to take the bar exam. Concurrently, the ABA had become radically left-wing, imposing its agenda on law schools. For instance, to maintain accreditation, the ABA had imposed a requirement that law schools demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion, with statistical proof that its faculty and student bodies were diverse with respect to gender, race, and ethnicity.
As I documented at The American Spectator, Texas and Florida recently ended the ABA’s monolithic power, at least in those two states, and that the action of the two big red states should be a spark for other red states to follow suit. Specifically, ”The liberation of Texas and Florida law schools from mandatory, ABA-enforced woke orthodoxy is a major milestone. Other conservative states should quickly follow suit, helping accelerate the nullification of the ABA’s authority into a broad preference cascade.” That preference cascade appears to be under way. The bright red state of Tennessee may be the next to defenestrate the ABA. The Tennessee Supreme Court recently reached out to the Federal Trade Commission, seeking advice regarding the state’s reliance on the monopoly accrediting agency. Joined by the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, the FTC has just assertively advocated for revoking the ABA’s monopoly in the state. “FTC Urges Tennessee Supreme Court to Oppose the ABA’s Law School Accreditation Monopoly” [FTC Press Release – 5/01/2026]Federal Trade Commission staff urged the Tennessee Supreme Court yesterday to open law school accreditation to competition by reducing its reliance on the American Bar Association (ABA) in determining which law schools provide sufficient education for their graduates to take the Tennessee bar examination. The letter was joined by the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee and officials at the Department of Justice, Antitrust Division. Responding to the court’s invitation to comment on whether it should “modify, reduce, or eliminate” its reliance on the ABA, the letter recommended reforms to the current process.Here is a link to the full FTC letter, which is also signed by Braden Boucek, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee. While I’m not sure there should even be accrediting agencies – bar exam results should be the proof of whether a law school is doing its job well – I can state with authority that the imprimatur of the ABA should be considered a demerit for a law school. The American Bar Association is so comically partisan that when Joe Biden tweeted that the 28th Amendment (“Equal Rights Amendment”
was now the law of the land, the ABA lent its support, urging ”all bar associations and the legal community as a whole to support implementation of the ERA” in accordance with Biden’s tweet.
Every red state governor needs to start being asked what actions are necessary in his or her state to eliminate the ABA’s accreditation monopoly, and to be pressed for a deadline to get it done. The preference cascade against the ABA is picking up speed, and it should soon be a badge of shame for any red state to still allow the ABA to retain control over its law schools.
As I wrote about recently, Texas & Florida just ended the ABA’s monopoly on law school accreditation in those states. There needs to be a preference cascade through all red states to follow. Tennessee most certainly needs to do so. https://t.co/BLsTnCJY6p

People like to believe that there is order. A group who measures and supposedly rules on whether a company or group meets a standard (whatever that is.) People use that to determine 'Well, what do I believe' because it frees them from having to do their own research. See, someone else did the research (in a non biased manner.) I can 'trust' them.
It is one thing the leftists learned particularly well: in a high trust society, if you can capture the reliable institutions mentioned above and turn them to your own ends, then people will continue to believe in them (at least for a while) even if they are obviously captured.

One year of torts, contracts, property, criminal law, legal writing and research, and trial advocacy teams (coached by actual practitioners), followed by a few weeks of intensive study with a bar review course is all you need.
Of course, you shouldn't bother with any of the foregoing unless you can make 150+ on the LSAT. Don't use the LSAT as a barrier to entry, just a red flag that some people are wasting their time.

RMBS, I mentioned this on the last thread. Kemal Ataturk was born in Thessalonica. Do you know if the birthplace is still standing, and, if so, if it's marked?

Bessent was a Soros acolyte, apparently.

In other words, law schools may be throwing off their shackles, or starting to, but isn't it true that lawyers themselves are still in total thrall to the ABA?
-----
That varies by state. In NYS, the bar exam is administered by the state (Board of Bar Examiners, if I recall correctly, it has been a long time since i worried about the bar) and attorney admission and discipline is controlled by the state court system. There is no requirement to be a member of any bar organization (ABA, NYSBA, NYCBA, and others) to be admitted and to practice in NY. I do not belong to any bar association. The state bar association and city bar association have some say in the election and appointment of judges, but the reality is, at least where I practice, you have to be a democrat, because NYS is a one party state.
Some states have a separate bar association which handles attorney admission and discipline.
The bar exam is now some universal bar exam.

As a Floridian, I hate Florida. I am also far left. I am also an educator and this is the right answer. If the ABA would stop being so anti-online law schools in 2026 this wouldn’t have happened. It’s not the 1930s. Online schooling is just as effective, and sometimes more effective, than in person classrooms. 100% the ABAs fault for calling these states’ bluffs.
I'm sure their timing has NOTHING to do with Trump's grudge against the ABA. Sovereign Citizen School of Law - Austin Campus.

If I recall, he plead to a felony. That was world class bullshit by the DC court to sentence him to probation and let him back into practice within 2 years. In NYS, his ass would have been automatically disbarred by statute. Though I strongly suspect that the NYS court would certainly have not given him prison time, particularly with the 2019 "bail reform". Which is also bullshit, his ass should have done a few years at a minimum.

Yeah. A couple examples:
Citizen Kane. Beautiful movie. Insanely well done (as a visual art form.) Hate watching it.
Passion of the Christ. Best religious movie of all time (especially for a traditional Catholic.) Great visuals, acting, all of it. I own it on Blu-Ray. Never rewatched it.
By contrast, I love Fellowship of the Ring. Great movie but not the apex of the film making art. I would argue it is one of my most 'enjoyable' films because I continuiously want to reengage with it. Does that make it 'best'? I don't think so, per se.

It's the best of the trilogy. As a long time reader of the books before the movies came out, FOTR was the closest adaptation of the 3. Changes from book to movie were expected and the choices Jackson made were defensible. Not so much for TT. And worse for ROTK, which makes it nearly unwatchable knowing that it could have been so much better with a more faithful adaptation.

Back in the dark ages, no one could sell any device which plugged in to 110V (the electrical grid) without that device being approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a private organization, like the ABA, which gave it, again, like the ABA, life and death power. The complaints were not political, instead they were economic; their charges for approval reflected that monopoly status.
The government (I believe it's the FTC) has established standards for NRTLs (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories) and now there are multiple organizations whose approval is sufficient to allow sale of electrical devices.
Following that, the government needs to establish standards for accrediting organizations which would apply to both schools and post-education as well.

Studies show that at least 60% of one's politics comes from family. About 20% is explained by environment.
So, 80%, at least, of the conservative kids should end up conservative while 20% of the progressive kids are open to switching to conservative.
There's honestly only so much schools can do to undermine that.

Not true for all 50 states. For decades California, for example, has allowed graduates of state accredited law schools that were NOT ABA accredited to sit for the California Bar, and to practice law if they passed the Bar; not a sure thing as the last Bar passing rate for California-only accredited schools was about 14%. Some lawyers who get admitted to the California Bar through this process can, or could in the past, get admitted to practice in other jurisdictions by taking other states' bar exams or through admission on foreign license. I've known a lawyer or two in the past who have done that.
California also had a program allowing students to "read law" with a California lawyer and if the student met the program requirements he or she could take the state bar without any law school whatsoever.
At different times other states have also had such programs; before WW 11 (eleven) my uncle took the Indiana Bar exam and practiced law without being a law school grad-he finished law school later, while he was practicing law.

Speaking of quotes, there’s one from an old Dave Barry column about dealing with countries that give us problems. He advocated for dropping lawyers on them. If that didn’t work, drop more lawyers, and if that still didn’t work, put parachutes on the lawyers. I suspect he wrote that after some legal difficulties.

Also not true. The ABA does not administer bar exams in all states and never did; I doubt they do so directly anywhere. The ABA has some influence on the law of a state (and thereby influences questions asked on the bar exam) through providing model rules of procedure which mostly have been adopted by the statest. I sat on my state's Ethics 2000 committee to evaluate the ABA's model Rules of Professional Responsibility. Our adoption recommendation included some modifications to the ABA's proposed rules.
The National Conference of Bar Examiners does prepare and administer the Multi-State Professional Responsibility Exam which is part of the Bar Exam for most or all US jurisdictions. The NCBE provides resources and assistance for bar exams to states and other bar jurisdictions. The NCBE is independent of The ABA, but they have a cooperative and interdependent relationship. Both The ABA and the NCBE draw their membership from roughly the same establishment.

Lawyer discipline is handled differently in the various states, districts and territories in the US. More than half of all states are what is known as "unified bar states." Those states require lawyers to be members of the state bar association (most or all state bar associations are part of The ABA) and lawyer discipline is done by the state bar association (DC has a unified bar).
In other states lawyer discipline is handled by a government agency, generally as a part of the state court system administered by the state's highest court. Although the ABA drafted the model Rules of Professional Responsibility used, as modified by each state, for lawyer discipline in most or all states, I don't believe the ABA has an actual role in lawyer discipline anywhere-it might provide assistance or witnesses in high profile cases thought I never saw it.

Lawyer discipline for misconduct in Federal Court is handled by the individual districts or circuits-admission to federal court is done by the individual district and circuit courts. I never studied the subject, so I don't know if different district or circuit courts have different rules. What I know about the topic is through experience. I was once loaned out by my state's disciplinary agency to assist a federal court in investigating a case of lawyer misconduct in federal court. The District Court's rules allowed for such a joint investigation as the district court simply didn't have the resources or expertise to easily investigate the case on its own; the case also involved a state law violation so I would have investigated the case for my agency anyway.

Sister just sent me links to 'Big Boy' steam engine tour in the midwest. Last time one of the big steam engines came by, major highways were backed up for miles. We were going to use the opportunity for a family party because last time, we were not prepared for the interest.

Used to bring the mail to me, through the ice and snow
I've sat alone and watched her, steaming through the night
Ninety tons of thunder lighting up the sky
She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
Speeding, sparks like lightning ,engine working hard
Furnace on the foot plate, shining in the night
Iron striking metal, the sound of racing steel
It's all I ever want to hear, it's music to my ears

Reports indicate that Barack and Michelle Obama WERE HOME at the time of this incident, the man was pronounced dead at the scene with no cause of death yet publicly released and a FULL INVESTIGATION is underway. Stay tuned for more updates on this BOMBSHELL STORY. Why do young men who work for the Obamas keep ending up dead?

The US is the largest producer of Gas and Petrolium products in the world, the issue is petroleum is sold in a market, and the market is currently destabilized with the current ME quagmire.
Any time gas gets above 2.50 a gallon, negative economic consequences ensue.
Average price is now 4.45.
So that's as the kids say, sub-optimal.

It was higher 4 years ago at the start of the Russian war in Ukraine.
And the disruption to worldwide oil supply there was smaller, the US government was less receptive to producing oil to fill the market, and it didn't lead to the region in question fast tracking a series of pipelines to bypass the impass.
The oil market is...weird. The gas market even weirder.
But one thing's for sure: outside of some kind of calamity that destroys oil production in several oil producing regions at once, oil recovers quickly because too many people rely on it and too many people (even hostile actors) rely on its sale.
This ain't the 70s anymore where the clear majority of oil production is in the Middle East.

Demand destruction has started in Africa. Reportedly 5-6 million barrels of oil daily no longer needed.
All while exports ramp up here, and exports find a way in the ME. The disruption to physical oil transportation is honestly overstated. The only major impact is that Iran can't export its 2 million a day, half of which we've already made up for in exports. Otherwise, it's Indian tanker captains afraid of sea mines that don't exist.
The medium term effects are going to be that Iran will have destroyed its ability to threaten the oil lifeline nearby as UAE and Saudi Arabia build more pipelines to bypass the strait and get oil from the Persian Gulf region to places like the Oman Gulf and the Mediterranean.

Goes the elate metre of her wheels.
Steaming through metal landscape on her lines
She plunges new eras of wild happiness
Where speed throws up strange shapes, broad curves
And parallels clean like the steel of guns.
At last, further than Edinburgh or Rome,
Beyond the crest of the world, she reaches night
Where only a low streamline brightness
Of phosphorus on the tossing hills is white.
Ah, like a comet through flame, she moves entranced
Wrapt in her music no bird song, no, nor bough
Breaking with honey buds, shall ever equal.

It's obvious to me that Trump and the rest of the US leadership expected the world to come to its damn senses about the dangers of Iranian threats. All we've gotten is small arms fire here and there for weeks as well as footage of a small Iranian speedboat boarding a mostly empty cargo vessel.
This was also part and parcel with his effort to strong arm Europe into defending their own waterways that they rely on.

The only actual impact of the Iran thing is that Iran can't export its 2 million barrels a day anymore.
Outside of that, it's Indian tankers afraid of phantom sea mines and believing every threat from some asshole with a radio on the Iranian shore.
Meanwhile, the UAE started building a new pipeline about 4 weeks ago to completely bypass the strait, all while roughly 10.5 million barrels of the 20 million that normally went through the strait is getting out through existing pipelines (Saudi Arabia's went from about 500,000 a day to 7 million a day).

Epic Waters in Grand Prairie, Texas drew outrage this week as it released fliers for the June 1 event, which will demand a 'modest dress code' and serve only Halal-slaughtered meat.
Posters for the event say it will be 'for Muslims only' to create a 'family-friendly environment', with tickets starting at $55 each.
The waterpark's website notes that men and women will not be separated during the event, but attendees are told to 'uphold Islamic etiquette' by 'lowering the gaze' throughout the day.
'Please follow the event’s modest dress code, and practice ḥayāʾ (modesty) through respectful behavior,' the event says.
All attendees are 'expected to dress in accordance with Islamic values', and the waterpark says all swimwear must meet Muslim guidelines.

UP, over the past year, has been out here along the route doing surveys on trackage, bridges, curves, etc. They pretty much have all their ducks in a row. I have the O Gauge model running on my basement layout. Even with that, I've had to swap out many curves to a larger radius because of the wide swing. The model has all the sounds of the real Big Boy, including whistle, bell, chuffs and, of course, smoke. It's a monster! Weighs about 10 pounds.

The Morning Report — 5/ 4/26
Good morning kids. Sad to have to kick off a new week and first full week of May with this troubling news:
“Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition, the spokesperson said in a statement. “Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak. We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor – Rudy Giuliani.” It’s unclear what ailment the 81-year-old ex-mayor and former Trump attorney is being treated for while in the care of a Florida hospital.Considering who and what is occupying City Hall these days the parallels and metaphors are in your face self-evident.
New Yorkers, you’ve been slacking — so the mayor wants to organize you. Mayor Zohran Mamdani isn’t happy that only 400 people showed up to last year’s Rent Guidelines Board hearings. In response, last Wednesday, he launched Organize NYC, a supposed volunteer effort to have New Yorkers participate in local government... Taken straight from the Democratic Socialists of America’s community-organizing playbook, Mamdani is calling it “a long-term initiative to bring mass public participation into the work of governing.” Don’t be fooled. Organize NYC is a thinly veiled, taxpayer-funded effort to embed campaign-style political organizing inside city government, dress it up as civic virtue and deliver Mamdani’s campaign promise under a veneer of official neutrality.Having been born and raised in New York, and coming of age during bad old days of grime and crime in the 60s and 70s, the Giuliani years were absolutely miraculous both in terms of making it America's nd arguably the world's premier city and a truly great place to live. Considering the city's long-standing status as a Democrat/Liberal if not necessarily hardcore leftist bastion (a few isolated pockets and a couple college campuses notwithstanding) Rudy's election and incredible success was somewhat miraculous all things considered, and a perpetually ultra-liberal/leftist city council underscores that. And so when NYC was on life support it rebounded spectacularly. Perhaps both Rudy and the city itself can one day come back once again. Momdani is going to lay waste to Gotham, but this time around will there be an electorate that rises up to elect another Rudy or are the younger generations so brainwashed and self-absorbed as to make that utterly impossible. I fear that to be the case since as the saner/older cohort of the baby boomers pass away leaving nothing but the younger generations who have no real collective memory nor desire for America as founded and sane Western Judeo/Christian values, since they were barely if at all taught and raised with them. From this we go to the alleged deathbed "confession" if you will of someone who is a complete polar opposite of Rudy Giuliani:
Former Rep. Barney Frank spent decades as one of the Democrat Party’s most recognizable left-wing figures. Now, in what may be one of his final public warnings, he is telling Democrats that their loudest activists have pushed the party into territory the public simply is not buying. Frank’s warning, delivered as he enters hospice, is blunt. He is not attacking the left from the right. He is saying the left has made a strategic mess of things by turning its most controversial causes into purity tests and then acting surprised when voters balk. . . That is a polite Washington way of saying the fringe has taken over the message and made the party look reckless. Frank also sees a broader pattern in Democrat politics, one that should worry anyone who thinks slogans are a substitute for results. By his telling, too many Democrats have fallen in love with whatever the current thing is, regardless of how radical it is.Well, as we have seen when (or if) voters balk then the Democrats wield molotov cocktails and rent-a-mobs along with assassins. Funny how he's complaining about the very thing that allowed him to be elected in the first place. In a way perhaps there is a sea change taking place insofar as the DOnald Trump MAGA revolution could not have taken place were it not for the utter disasters engendered by Clinton(s), and the Bushes and GOP-e are in the mix here, make no mistake, and then of course the insanity of Obama and Biden. Nixon's silent or not-so-silent anymore majority must still exist at least to a level that keeps things in check, but how long will that last and will the Socialist-loving Yoots take over the asylum or will America, that is Can America be reborn as we approach 250, or are we destined to fall? On that cheery note... Here's wishing for a full and speedy recovery for Mayor Giuliani. Have a good day!

Well, I've finished my spreadsheet on Lacey's show career:
http://soyaraborzoi.com/LaceyCareer.htm
The late Bea Godsol said, "All dogs have faults, but the great ones wear them well." That's Lacey to a T. She didn't have the prettiest head nor the strongest front, but she could move like nothing else and just oozed charisma.
In every one of her 378 shows as a special, she was handled by Her Majesty, who knew how to get the best out of her. Lacey loved to show and roared into the ring saying, "Here I am. Adore me!" And it was borne out by her record as the biggest-winning breeder-owner-handled Borzoi bitch ever.
So when I looked at who beat her in some of the shows where she lost, I just had to shake my head and say to the (likely now departed) judge, "What the hell were you thinking?"

There’s good news and bad news in that; the good news is that this claim by the Iranians is a pathetic fantasy.
The bad news is that the statement by Trump that the US would escort merchant shipping through the Straits was a big bluff (at least so far). We have not sent any ships in to do it.

On examining his front, one judge asked Her Majesty, "Is this all him?" And for a huge dog, the Beeg Boy was amazingly light on his feet (nothing worse than a heavy-footed Borzoi).
But Dutch was more complex. He liked showing but not traveling. Little things bothered him. He would do what we wanted but no more than was asked. And all that is reflected in his record.

- Nuking Iran and killing millions of people who want the IRGC gone also?
- Deploying hundreds of thousands of US ground troops to root out the IRGC?

I believe - in fact it is self evident - that this is the current official position of the Iranian Government. Which means that all further negotiations are a farce, and that they are openly mocking Trump’s current hesitation to reopen hostilities.
Trump laid down what so far looks like a big bluff about opening the straits. Iran has now openly called his bluff. What is the US going to do about it? And when?

It costs over $100,000 on average to build a single family home in California just in fees
This isn’t building, labor, or materials, this is just bureaucracy
- Pure building permit + plan review fees for a new single-family home are often in the $20,000 - $40,000 range
- Total “soft costs,” meaning permits + impact fees, school fees, utility connections, environmental reviews, traffic mitigation, parks, etc often reach $100,000+ in major cities and counties
- One home in Fremont cost $160,000 just in government fees before any building started
Contrast this with Texas
Texas base building permits for a new single-family home are typically $1,000–$3,000. Impact and development fees average under $1,000 per unit
San Francisco planned on spending $1.7 million to build a public toilet, after extreme backlash online they were able to build it for around $200,000 and it’s now open

Iran, on the other hand, is watching their economy implode and haven't got a prayer of getting out of this militarily. Everyday this blockade goes on they get closer to the edge.
There's a cost to destroying Iran that doesn't get talked about much. I don't see Trump being a nation builder but someone has to do it. And if that happens gas is likely to be higher for a long time. I suspect Trump is ready to attack when he feels he has to but I don't think we are there yet.

In large part because every one in the ME views negotiations as a sign of weakness and a willingness to surrender. The Iranian leadership quite clearly believe that the US does not have the nerve to continue the fight, and are openly mocking us now because of that.
Waiting 6 months for the shipping shutdown to have an effect is a fine tactical plan, but horrible politically. If the US is to retain any credibility, the Straits must now be reopened by force.

Pain at the pump is gonna trickle down to all prices. We're nearing the point of no return on that. And with wages lagging price increases (remember 2021 - those who get govt benefits feel way less pain than the wage earner), Trump voters will be feeling more pain than D voters...
So, understating the pain to Trump voters won't be a winning message...he's the party of working people.

Here is Barack Obama giving an interview to NPR—unwittingly revealing the conclusion of the CIA’s Intelligence Community Assessment, claiming Russia helped Donald Trump win the election—before they had even started the work.
@jsolomonReports
: “This is an interview he gives to NPR, and I guess he forgot that they hadn’t done the work yet. So he tells NPR he expects to see the CIA reverse itself and conclude that Vladimir Putin tried to help Donald Trump. The problem is, the CIA hadn’t really even started the work—it had just gotten going. And he’s so embarrassed that he comes back later and tries to walk it back a little bit, saying they still want to see where it goes. It is the sort of proof that John Durham should’ve found in his investigation.”

It’s kinda like the deadlines the president keeps setting- nonsense. Russia is helping them arm up and providing them more manpads like the one that shot down our F-15. At the moment we look a bit foolish for not finishing what we started. This has dragged on through unserious after unserious Iranian proposal. It’s getting to be a joke. No, we’re close. Really. No this time I mean it.
It’s frustrating and I’m betting by Friday of this week nothings change. They won’t collapse. They won’t surrender. They won’t change. Hope I’m wrong. I hope by Friday we are bombing the shit out of what’s left. But I seriously doubt the bullshit that’s being peddled.

As of this moment, all of those great resources are just sitting there doing nothing. The defense systems are good, but not perfect. Plenty of Iranian missiles and drones got through to the Gulf States, and would again. They must be shut down at the source.
President Trump has stated that the US will keep the Straits open for any neutral commercial shipping. As of this morning, the straits are still closed, and no commercial shipping is moving through. The Iranian leadership is openly mocking us for this.

And if they cared...or their people rose up...or they had free elections...this would matter more.
But Iran has shown they don't care if their people suffer as long as they stay under their thumb. Crashing their economy is not yet making them quit...
I mean, this is a land of irrational hatred towards us...getting them to quit for rational reasons may not work.

The pain from the loss of oil is not from Iranian oil alone; for the first time since the Gulf Wars, Kuwait last month exported no oil at all, because the straits were closed. There is far more capacity taken offline right now than just Iranian exports, that is why it is having such an impact.
Iran does not have to be destroyed; but the Straits must be reopened militarily. This will almost certainly require the use of amphibious troops to seize and occupy all of the small islands in the straits, which serve as observation posts and weapons platforms for the Iranians.
This should have already been done, which leads me to suspect (although of course I don’t know) that this is the step that Trump is balking at.

The effort, known as Operation Economic Fury, is aimed at crippling Tehran’s financial lifelines by seizing Iranian assets, freezing bank accounts and pressuring foreign governments to cut ties with the nation.
"We are freezing bank accounts everywhere. More importantly, we are making people less willing to deal with the regime," Bessent said.
"We can see that every day, it is more pressure on the regime. The retirement funds that they thought that they had outside of Iran, we are freezing. We're holding those for the Iranian people. Same with all their villas in the south of France and all over the world, and we are going to track them down."

A confidential Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School report has revealed a complete breakdown in basic officer training following a surge in permanent resident enrolment.
One French-language platoon, which had over 80 per cent non-citizens, was reportedly wracked by an inability to communicate fluently, a lack of respect towards female CAF members and infighting between Cameroonian and Côte d’Ivoire candidates.
The Quebec platoon saw fewer than one in two recruits graduate, while allegations of racial discrimination were made in multiple directions, from candidates against staff and between candidates of opposing ethnic blocs themselves. Additionally, command saw “challenges” in training permanent residents as they lacked “respect towards women” peers and superiors.

Correspondent Leslie Stahl interviewed Robert Rundo, co-founder of white nationalist group “Active Club,” who said his group participates in “disaster tourism” to change peoples’ perceptions of what it means to be an avowed fascist.
“Going to a disaster relief is directly helping our people,” Rundo said.
Stahl added, “You go in to help white people,” to which Rundo answered, “Yeah.”
Stahl said Rundo co-founded the group in 2020 “as a place for disgruntled, young white men to work out together, while sharing their ideology.”
With more than 90 chapters, Active Club is described by watchdog groups “as one of the country’s fastest growing white supremacist networks that are antisemitic, anti-immigrant, and anti-democracy,” Stahl said.
“We get together with the boys. We box, we travel,” Rundo said.

The fuel shock will be a bitch, but the Middle Eastern oil states will eventually work around the problem, and in the interim, the US is one of the very few countries that can live with the inconvenience without too much difficulty.

First, on the media side, the left keeps coming up with more and more extreme statements about Trump. They are rewarded with attention (which means money) for the one that says the most extreme thing. So as time as good on Trump has gone from simple Orangemanbad to a mixture of Hitler, Mussolini, George III and the villain from Cannibal Holocaust.
And at the same time calls for violence have gone through the same process, from arrest him, to kill him, to kill his family, kill everyone around him...and their families...and on and on.
Then in turn you get attention for first calling for it but more so doing it. Interestingly Luigi got the better end of this then the Kirk shooter, but any number of leftwing losers are being told if they engage in violence they'll because heroes overnight and they will keep rushing to more extreme examples because that is what is being incentivized.

You can't bargain with or engage with an enemy like that. And I would hope there are people on Trump's team who know that. My counsel would be to quit fucking around and do what needs to be done.
Trump opened the ball on the IRGC, and there's no turning back. He has made assurances to the Iranian people. Now was he sincere, or just shooting from the lip, as he sometimes does? If the combined military might of the US is unable or unwilling to bring the IRGC to heel, it will be a major blow to US prestige and a shameless betrayal of the Iranian people.
YMMV. Line forms to the right.

Just like "you can have mass immigration or a welfare state" you also have to choose as "you can have mass immigration of feminism"
Now, many would ask why the hell would the left choose immigration over all the things it cares about? And the answer is simple. Immigration is a much better way to make money and get power then feminism or a traditional welfare state ever were.

Looking at death sooner rather than later, Barney Frank becomes a man for all people? Nah. Still an egotistical, evil b*tch who did a great deal of harm to the country so he could be legend to the rich & the poor & pad his own pockets.
AI Overview: Critics argue that Barney Frank’s housing policies, particularly his advocacy for affordable housing mandates on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, contributed to the 2008 financial crisis by pushing low-income individuals into homeownership they could not afford. These policies and related lending mandates allegedly incentivized lenders to create high-risk subprime mortgages, contributing to a $6 trillion loss in housing value.
Politico, 4/28/26, on his 'Final Act' - “I worry a little bit about the tendency on the Democratic side to fall for the flavor of the month,” he said, though he credited Platner for focusing his attacks on incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins, not Mills."

But the left came to believe she can't win so they are willing to run an actual Neo-NAZI because they think he has a better chance of winning.

The left argues that Bush 41 stole a Blackbird and flew to Iran to convince them to keep the hostages until after Reagan won.

Media should announce when elections are and then what the results are.
Presenting polls prior is just an indication of dysfunctional / malevolent media. The media should have no interest in a candidate's transitory popularity or lack thereof.
I'll say it: You can't hate the media enough.

Agree.. Last week there were polls that said Trump was at his lowest approval rating of any President followed by one that said he is higher at this point in his second term than Obama was. Then the Dems lead in congressional poll by ten and same week it's tied...

Different voters show up at each election, so your work isn't just to find a group of voters reflecting what candidate the people prefer, but also to get a reflective sample of the people going to vote.
And you have two other problems - right leaning voters don't trust you and won't talk to you, and a non-trivial number of votes coming out of the cities are fake. How do you account for that?

And it will trickle in without appropriate wage increases. Fixed income SS and disability earners and welfare folks are fine - they get the inflation increase every year, no matter how high. Wage earners don't.
Trump is the party of the doers, not the receivers. His folks will be sufffering more...that's his issue...

MEDICAID MILLIONAIRES: How The Feds Pay Immigrants Billions To Hang Out With Their Families
I’ve been investigating federal waste and fraud for 20 years. This is the biggest scandal I’ve ever found.
DOGE published a massive trove of data in February that, for the first time, lets the public see what companies are billing Medicaid for. For decades, the payouts have been shrouded in secrecy. One of the largest government programs was a black box.
I’ve spent the past two months diving into the numbers. What I found was the most blatant waste of federal dollars that I have encountered in my two decades as an investigative reporter. . . .

Happening all over the country. 🤷♀️
The PA House has passed bills to recognize Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, as an official state
Further legislative efforts (such as HB 363) have aimed to recognize both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, alongside Jewish holidays.
These designations serve as symbolic acknowledgment of the Muslim community's significance in Pennsylvania, rather than requiring employers to treat them as paid legal holidays.

More annoying, our very well paid politicians. (An automatic cost of living adjustment bumped state lawmakers’ salaries to $113,000 per year, for rank and file members. Dec. 2025)

Top Story
- Utah has decided to make it a crime to use VPNs to bypass age verification checks. (Tom's Hardware)
Since anyone can set up a VPN of their own in minutes using open source software and any of a thousand cloud service providers, and tear it down right after leaving no trace of its existence, this is stereotypical malicious idiocy.
So of course the UK and France are pushing similar legislations as fast as they can.
Tech News
- Microsoft now recommends 32GB of RAM as a practical minimum for running games. (Tom's Hardware)
That's 2GB for the game and 30GB for Windows.
- Anthropic is looking to buy new inference chips from British startup Fractile that don't use DRAM. (Tom's Hardware)
These are specialised devices that store their data in on-chip static RAM rather than in a large pool of DRAM. But they can't perform tasks that require a large memory pool.
- Why TUIs are back. (Alcides Fonseca)
TUI here stands for terminal user interface - what everyone had before GUIs.
Also what NetHack used (and still uses).
- The text mode lie: Why modern TUIs are a nightmare for accessibility. (Xogium)
The keyword here is modern. The same developers who crapped up the web have turned their attention to the text console with predictable results.
- Micron's CEO says that the memory situation is going to improve. (WCCFTech)
For him, not for you. You're still screwed.
- Leaked documents reveal that the EU wants to force a merger of Bluesky and Twitter. (Gript)
That would be hilarious.

Bluesky and Twitter were once merged. It was called, surprisingly enough, "Twitter".
Then when the woke and statist types, would be authoritarians all, could no longer ban the unclean thinkers within Elon Musk's Twitter, they bounced to their new utopia, Bluesky.
Whereupon they formed new circular firing squads and took pot shots at the impure ones among their hitherto unsullied ranks. More just desserts could not have been found.

The 275-page document published on April 29 discusses the feasibility of forcing both vertical and horizontal interoperability onto all major social media applications, naming X, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube as major targets.
According to the study, these platforms could be forced to platform content from their more moderation-focused rivals, as well as be legally obligated to make their recommender algorithms, news feeds, and user accounts interoperable with websites more favoured by Brussels, such as BlueSky.

Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol stopped a pickup truck in Central Florida and discovered zip-tied iguanas. The truck was pulled over along State Road 540 in Winter Haven because it did not have a working tag light on its license plate. The plate had been attached to the fold-down gate of a utility trailer made of expanded metal. *** During questioning, Casildo-Acdiel told troopers he was from North Carolina. He claimed he had driven to Miami to pick up coconuts and was on his way to Polk County to get fish before heading back home. This explanation raised suspicion. Troopers then used a K-9 unit to inspect the vehicle. The search revealed five coolers filled with iced tilapia and 13 live iguanas in the truck bed. Investigators noted that the animals were zip-tied iguanas, with their feet bound behind their backs. The presence of these zip-tied iguanas led to further concern about possible wildlife violations. Authorities emphasized that the zip-tied iguanas appeared to have been restrained for transport.News video segment at the link.
Upon the royals’ arrival, Camilla wore a light pink bespoke Dior coatdress, paired with a Bottega Veneta Intrecciato bag and a beautiful Union Flag/Stars and Stripes brooch that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.
Subsequent daytime appearances kept the palette soft and coordinated. My favorite was Melania being absolutely everything in a Ralph Lauren Collection silk and wool suit in ivory with a signature wide-brimmed Eric Javits straw boater. Her shoes? Manolo Blahnik BB Pumps in ivory, flawless as always. Camilla overcame any frumpy tendencies in a bespoke Fiona Clare coatdress in light pistachio, with a Philip Treacy hat and Eliot Zed Tina pumps. She finished with the sparkling Cullinan V Diamond Brooch. The two looked like they stepped out of a perfectly styled garden party.
The pinnacle came at the white-tie state dinner. This level of formality hasn’t graced the White House in over 20 years, and wow—our FLOTUS knocked it out of the park with absolute perfection! I mean, look at this:
Melania and Camilla stepped out in harmonizing pinks that stole the spotlight, perfectly invoking cherry blossom season. Melania wore head-to-toe Dior: a delphinium-pink silk strapless Christian Dior Haute Couture gown with architectural ruching at the waist, long off-white Dior gloves, and matching Dior shoes. The elegant, columnar silhouette felt both modern and regal, it was timeless First Lady excellence. Queen Camilla complemented beautifully in a magenta Fiona Clare embroidered chiffon gown. She paired it with a dramatic amethyst and diamond necklace once belonging to Queen Victoria. (I was so stunned by that piece I honestly have no idea what was on her feet—sorry!) The two created one of the most memorable fashion moments of the visit.
From daytime pastels to white-tie drama, Melania and Camilla delivered coordinated elegance with personality to spare—spring style diplomacy at its finest. ----- Thanks, Piper! Don't forget to check out Piper's X page.

I believe this is true. Iguanas are invasive in Florida. Are they edible? I was stationed in Tampa for about 5 years in the late 90s. I don't think I ever saw an Iguana. Went to a bar called the Green Iguana a few times though.

I'd like to give Charles a shout out. He is an absolutely smashing dresser, always impeccably turned out, always with a bit of flair and lots of elegance.
Melania looked lovely, although I am not a fan of the boaters. She wears them well, very well, but they do look severe. She looked yo be having a wonderful time, and even got giggly with Charles, who is quite a charming man.

That is true. Chuckles has only had eyes for Camilla since the beginning. The whole Diana thing was because Camilla wasn't suitable for a future queen consort, in QEII and her protocol people's minds. She learned her lesson, I think.
That tampon tape business (which MI5 arranged, I think, being on team Diana or something) was really all about that. Chuckles has one place he wants to be....

Secretariat was the father to Weekend Surprise, who paired with Seattle Slew to have A.P. Indy.
A.P. Indy is a massively successful sire, and his son Bernardini had Carrumba, who was the mother to Golden Tempo.
Golden Tempo's father was the great Curlin, who won the Preakness Stakes and the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Iguanas are not a protected species in Florida, except by anti-cruelty laws. They can be captured and removed from private property without special permits.
Disposal: Euthanasia is the recommended method for disposal, but it should be performed by pest management professionals rather than homeowners.
Recommended not mandated.

My favorite astrophotographer, Andrew McCarthy, got to collaborate with Reid Wiseman on some pictures of the far side of the Moon. Wiseman shot a bunch of pictures per McCarthy's specifications. The result is this:
https://tinyurl.com/2xe224a8
https://is.gd/h4VARj
Those colors are real, and this is the first such "Mineral Moon" shots of the far side. You can just turn up the color on a single shot, but that does nothing but amplify noise. However, if you stack a whole bunch of shots of the same area, you get a strong signal of the faint colors that are really there without with the noise.

I have to say - I was thinking the same thing. Iguanas are not protected as far as I know - so, other than the out of code trailer/light I don't see any other issues here. This should have been a ticket and "Go home immediately and get this thing up to roadworthy status." It sound like the police are trying to justify a stupid amount of wasted resources brought to bear on some poor schmoe just trying to make some money on a side hustle selling food items.

We used to always place pretend bets and drink mint juleps. I once won the trifecta.

Piper: Loved the fashion. Melania rocks everything but in my hat opinion (I have many), she owns the boater style. I can wear most hats except a cloche (short hair looks better and mine is past shoulders).
In NOLA one hot summer day I bought a hat on Jackson Square. A huge straw (vs fake straw) beauty. Like an umbrella on my head. Strangers stopped me walking and said they loved it. Held it on my lap on two planes to FL. In the Atlanta airport the waitress carded me at 50yrs. I think to ID who would be crazy enough to wear that hat.Fly through NOLA yearly and I still by a hat there.

Yeppers. Shame on me for not reading the link until after forming an opinion. But, to be honest, this is the operative paragraph and it appears to have been buried at paragraph 3 level: The driver identified himself as 32-year-old Rendon Casildo-Acdiel using a Georgia ID card. After checking his information, troopers found that he had a suspended Georgia driver’s license, no valid Florida license, and active warrants from three different agencies.

It was a sleazy dive bar on West Shore Blvd. It was close to the base. Probably some gays in it, it's Tampa, but it wasn't a 'gay bar'. I went there a couple of times but wasn't impressed. There were other sleazy dive bars I preferred. I went looking for it online one time and I think it closed or moved.

*********************************
My husband had a very OCD mother who did not allow the five kids to have pets. Bless his heart, he only had those little green turtles that kept dying when he was small. The Salmonella kind.
Which brings me to this: do you lick the turtles or simply not wash your hands after holding them? How did they figure this out?
My own Salmonella food poisoning (during anthrax scare in FL, 2001) was due to a salad from another state. The FL Health Dept called me and tracked it down to that lunch, making me neurotic for salads in restaurants to this day. Not once did they ask if I was licking green turtles or if I had them for a pet.
I need to go to bed from a busy day. Fell asleep watching my laptop for a pre-sleep nap. I don't know why I have started doing this now and then and find it alarming.
Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

That, for sure, would drive me insane. How do they blow their nose without stuff shooting out?

The dead man is the attacker, Bruce Whitman, since it was around 3 a.m. last night and it was closed. He was a former bartender there at the Multnomah Athletic Club -- which IIRC has the rep of an upscale place with social cachet -- with mental health struggles, multiple "red flag" protection orders for harassing members, and signs on his property with conspiracy theories about the club (I didn't delve far enough for details).

Sweet Charlotte might have been there. This was in the early 2000's that I was told this by many people.
We had a cross-dressing, mean as a snake, cardiologist who would go to Orlando to wear his dresses, so I was told. Married. Reputation of throwing instruments at nurses during heart caths. Wore his hair page boy and looked goofy. I'm sure not on estrogen but just naturally had terminal PMS.
I was once walking up the parking garage to work and he patched out fast and almost ran me over. Instead of an apology he glared at me like it was my fault. I should have run to administration and complained but rolled my eyes at him instead. Nitwit. I'm sure I announced it in the ED to our docs. He was well hated.

I was 17 and freshman year of college. My roommate had her's pierced by someone in the dorm in our bathroom with ice to numb it, fire to sterilize the needle, and a cork behind the ear. I watched as she fainted and told my mother about it (I told her everything). She insisted the GP who delivered me do the piercing. Which resulted in him sticking a needle of lidocaine in each ear, which was not pleasant. He had to redo one ear as it wasn't centered. I did not yell or faint as that is not my style.
I guess I could have started a fad of two holes in one ear and one in the other but didn't. He often smoked cigars as he examined you and cracked jokes.
Probably had a lit cigar while I was being born, which could explain a few things. Mother was on some sort of happy gas and does not remember me for an entire day and certainly not my actual birth.

I knew girls in jr. high that got pierced at home with sharp needle & used dental floss to keep the hole open. Ugh.
At his first duty station, my (then) husband wanted his ear pierced. So, I did it for him with a large sharp needle and used a potato for backing. He'd had a few shots of whiskey, so didn't complain until the next day. He put short piece of heavy fishing line in, as an actual metal stud would be too easily detected and get him written up.

My husband just brought in a bakelight (plastic fron 1940's and an aunt) bracelet to me from his office. It was on our dresser and I wanted her to leave today so I could change clothes. She beams over to where I stash some of my jewelry.
He said she wore the bracelet on one wrist, and then put two hands in it behind her like she was being cuffed.We don't know why or if she's ever seen on tv anyone cuffed.
We honestly never know what she is going to do or say, however she's great entertainment. Very smart and funny and starts kindergarten in the fall. Her preKclass are all nuts as well as I have met them a few times. Her brain works in mysterious ways.

Unbelievable how scared some of them were!

I think it says white or caucasion with a touch of ash but am unsure.
He was a sweet man however seemed very gruff. He saw black people for free. Mother said they came to the back door of the office (in the heart of Dixie). Also had something to do with the Methodist orphanage and died from hepatitis he got on a mission. However, adults meeting him I am sure many thought him in the mob or a comedian.
He was Dr. Ross to me. My brother was terrified of him but I thought he was funny. For shots my brother would scream enough for both of us and they'd have to drag him out from behind doors and I was stoic. This is how he was for my father's spankings as well, which I thought were funny (we were spanked in the bathroom and the second I saw Daddy on the closed toilet I cracked up).
My brother might have been the normal one.'Night

Every summer, I watch helos fly over, getting water from the river. Not close enough to river to see them "dip" but they go back n forth all day when there's fire in this region.
Lack of snowpack is setting us up for a bad fire season, ugh.

Rolling Stone moved Eric Clapton down from the top 10 of greatest guitar players of all time to 35 because he admitted to being Covid "vaccine" injured & refused to discriminate on entry to his concerts based on "vaccine" status. They even admit the reasoning in the explanation!

Scientists Reveal Time Travel COULD WORK
Quantum physics research outlines a method for transmitting information backward in time via closed time-like curves
By Steve Watson
Researchers have proposed a theoretical approach that could allow messages to be sent into the past using principles from quantum mechanics. Indeed, it could be happening right now already!...

Highway Patrol! This week's episode: Psycho Killer!
Battle Of The Worlds!
Cigar of the Week
Most premium cigars with American leaf get that from Connecticut shade or broadleaf, or Pennsylvania broadleaf. A few however use tobacco from other states, and one of those is Drew Estate's 20 Acre Farm, whose fillers include leaf grown in Florida. On top of that is binder from Honduras and a beautiful golden brown connecticut shade wrapper from Ecuador. I tried the toro (6 X 52). The draw was just right. Due to breezy conditions I sort of botched the light-up, scorching up the side of the wrapper in one area. As an experiment I let the burn line correct itself - which it did - and it didn't require much management after. Smoke, as always with a Drew Estate cigar, was plentiful. To me a nice version of the classic connecticut shade cigar - mild profile, hints of sweetness and sweeter flavors throughout, some light wood or cedar in the background. More perceptive reviewers find coffee bean, citrus, and vanilla. Very pleasant smoke. This cigar is available online for $11 and up.Excellent as always, rhomboid! Thank you!

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

Well, my ability to hit stuff at long ranges continues to improve. We ran a match, 1,000 yard, KYL @ 1020 and turkey silhouettes @1185 yards.
Due to a tactical mistake on my part, I went from second to fourth place and just out of getting a medal for my efforts.
Darn. By the way, going 3 for 5 @ 1020 yards (12", 10" and 8" plate) is difficult. (technically, I went 4 for 5 but one shot didn't count because I hit the same plate twice)
The tactical mistake? I used the wrong target for sighting @ 1185. I didn't get the correct feedback to really judge wind, etc. Live and learn.

Not an earthquake but a signal. The court indicated interest, but also said this case does not raise the correct questions to decide the issue of whether the constitution bans machine guns. The court can only decide the questions in front of them, not take up other questions.
Nothing changes until or unless a proper case is brought in front of this court and this court makes a ruling on the merits. But this is a signal that might encourage someone to make the arguments in a future case...

Just video clips I've seen. You need a heavier buffer tube spring.
Tippmann Paintball came out with a marker called the A5 RT. (Reactive Trigger) The FRT works the same way from what I understand. If you pull the trigger hard, you get semi auto. If you pull it just right, you hit the sweet spot and it fires really really quick.
Some say you need a third position switch, some say you don't.

My first revolver was one of the last Colt Detective Specials, bought in 1994 for $250. I had no idea at the time that it was the end of the line for this classic snubby. Brought it to a gun show to show to someone I knew there. While we were talking, some guy offered me $1000 for that Detective Special. I turned him down, of course.
Posted by: Ed L at May 03, 2026 07:57 PM (BCwQW)
because I collect, but don't shoot.
I just won an auction for a Harrington and Richardson snub nose 'Premier' .32SW.
Some rascal recognized it too, but he
quit bidding at $900.
It's in the narrow very late serial range of
the 1,000 or so the OSS bought in 1943,
and has the small 'star' stamped on the rear
of the cylinder, for the OSS contract.
I only know of 4 others that have ever been found.
Pate only shows 1 in his definitive book on the secondary US handguns of WWII.

I shot the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 (.38 acp) this week and kept it on paper, but did not shoot well while trying slight modifications to my grip and mental processes.
Some people opined that I probably also have pretty weak grip strength at this point - with which I agree.
So I decided to test this theory and see how much worse a heavier trigger pull would affect my aim. I believe the BG 2.0 has about a 5.5# trigger weight. I grabbed my truck gun, which probably has at least an 8# trigger weight. It also happens to be a Hi-Point .45 that weighs 45 ounces unloaded!
Surprisingly, having that much weight in my hands actually "loaded" my muscles a little and minimized my tremor. I shot the cheap gun with the heavier trigger weight more accurately!
I don't know if that result is due to small sample size, but I did feel a bit steadier firing an anvil compared to a compact pistol.
I have opened up a pistol range at our farm, so I can keep experimenting, before I switch over to pounding fundamentals.
Thanks for all of the help everyone!

Load up 5 rounds, shoot them as fast as you can and try to miss the target with all of them.

It is probably about broken in now. It seems to be settling down and it will go where you point it now. But it has a problem with getting dirty. Gets a carbon buildup on the rails and the slide will hang going back into battery. I cleaned it today before the range and gave it a light lube and after about 100 rounds it started again. BUT - I found this behavior could be defeated if I fully extended and locked my elbows. Anything else it acted like it was limp-wristed.
Going to clean it again and just try running it wet.

And then she took her purple Glock with the Holosun and put 5 in a 50 cent piece sized circle at 7 yards.
Earlier she was shooting her Kimber Aegis Elite (a gun we all recognize as a cheat code for shooting) and the RSO came by "Ma'am it looks like you are holding it this way and that's a heavy gun and blah blah blah blah." So she just plugged the target and he said "Well, okay, I guess I don't need to tell you how to shoot."

We'll see. Visit with surgeon this week and new imaging to see if the implant is bonding with bone. Having a lot of muscle spasms right now lower down from those deteriorated discs as weightbearing on spine has changed. Can't get ablation nor steroid shots until surgeon confirms implant is bonding with bone. Steroids upset the process and insurance requires steroid shots before approving ablation. So stuck right now.
And I can safely say I won't be going to Virginia MoMeet as I simply cannot get in a car for muich beyond 30-40 minutes at a time. Flying is right out as well.

I knew the problems going it. But, I had to have surgery as I was losing feeling, strength, and function in both arms and hands. Peripheral nerves were getting severely compressed off the spine. But, when you fuse one part of the spine, it changes the weight distribution on the rest of it due to gravity and that is what is provoking the pain and back spasms. Eventually I hope a new equilibrium will be reached but nsaids, steroids, and other tricks are no go until the surgeon is sure that the cage implant is bonding to the bone.
Otherwise, I risk him going back in (about one in eight chance of the implants not bonding normally for multilevel cage type fusion).
So enforced idleness, weight limits on carrying, and constantly ensuring proper posture when sitting and walking. Has me going through my music collection and ready to digitize all my albums (down to 600 or so). Preparing to make a music streaming server out of some old desktops for the whole house.

You can see the laser light moving in exactly the same way a bullet would at normal 7 yards or less range as you work the trigger using your grip.

Food Thread: Ice Cream! It's What's For Breakfast!
I was in...shudder...Philadelphia last week and stopped for lunch at a newish falafel place in Center City called "Goldies." It's part of a small restaurant chain that has impressed me with the quality of their food, so it was an easy decision. I had been several times before so I knew what I was getting, but I was unprepared for how delicious their French Fries were! Yes, falafel is fried, so somebody in the kitchen knows her way around the fryer, but these fries were perfect. blazing hot, impossibly crispy, golden brown, and tender in the middle! The restaurant group is owned by an Israeli, so of course, soon after 10/7/2023, the leftist Nazis in Philadelphia protested and tried to shut Goldies down. That's why I went the first time...to show some support. But the damned falafel and hummus and pita are excellent, so I don't need an excuse to go.
I used to drink Cognac at every opportunity, but for some reason I simply stopped. And I have no idea why! But I was given a bottle of some very nice Cognac recently and I have been enjoying it. Is it as interesting and varied as Bourbon? No. But it is undeniably delicious and a lovely change on occasion. 
The garlic is busily growing, with pretty impressive green shoots that are pushing a foot tall! I even fertilized them! And if they survive the deer and squirrel apocalypse, and actually grow into something edible, I will be in garlic heaven! In case it doesn't, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

Same with the Greek gyro joint near my mama's house. Fries are just like that, with a seasoned salt/paprika mix. And delicious felafel, and they make a mini felafel pita, which is just right for me. Big enough that I'm stuffed to finish it, but not so big that I can't finish it.

I left the starter she gave me unfed for long enough that I think it's an ex-starter, if you get my drift. So I'm starting over with some King Arthur Flour I had on hand, adding 50g of flour and 50g of water as instructed by their web site yesterday.
Is the initial starter supposed to have the consistency of Play-Doh?

My kids used to love PB Nutella sandwiches, til I couldn't have it. Then they switched to PB cookie butter. Nutella is about as healthy as cookie butter (maybe a touch better).

Lay's Bacon and Grilled Cheese potato chips. Lay's a somewhat local manufacturer who holds contests of customers to come up with unique flavors, and the contest winners see their entries developed into limited time runs. If the new product develops legs and sells, they put it into their long term product line.
This one has a chance. No artificial flavoring at all. Just bacon and a solid cheese flavor over a processed (unfortunately) potato.

One summer, when I was a wee 17 year old lifeguard who ate dinner with friends after my 9pm shift (I got the 1-9pm that summer), dinner was Jersey diners and inexpensive choices. So, I ordered snapper soup and strawberry shortcake (perfect amount for that time before swim practice the next morning) almost every night of the week. I tried EVERY diner's version that summer. Back then, I could tell you who used real whipped cream, who used fresh strawberries, who used frozen, who baked that day and who took it out of the fridge a few days old, who did biscuits and who did cake, etc...
That was a nice summer and meal...

Hazelnut coffee ruined hazelnuts for me. Used to like to eat them out of the shell, then some food chemist took something that tasted nothing like it and sprayed it on a half-ripe coffee bean. Enough people bought it, and I can't stand to be around them. Ok, in some cases, it's not really about the coffee...

Yeah, NJ neighborhood pools do not feed their guards. That would have been a nice perk. So, it was breakfast after swim practice at 9am, a light lunch right before shift, a home brought snack around 5pm on the 30 minute break and dinner at 10pm...
Sometimes dinner was at midnight if my friends wanted to see a movie 1st...those were some bad movies that summer, too...
My other go-to was going to Denny's and ordering their nachos with all 3 sauces on the side. That was not good food, but by having no sauce on the nachos, you could tell they weren't spit in or sitting hours...

I don't like to waste food, so I'd confer with AI on a recipe that would allow me to humanely dispose of the Nutella. I don't have anything against it per se, but something like real caramel would be a superior first choice.

When Mr. bluebell and I were dating we went into an ice cream shop, and he ordered bubble gum ice cream. The guy behind the counter looked up sharply to see who ordered it, then said he had never seen anyone over the age of 12 order that.
My youngest son worked at ice cream during high school and part of college. Only "old people" ordered rum raisin so if they saw a group of -ahem- seasoned citizens coming up the sidewalk, they'd say here come the rum raisins. And usually they were correct.
For the record I always got the bittersweet chocolate.

Ben Had,
My daddy was born and bred a Texan.
He used to reminisce about his day off from cowboying on Sunday and sitting on the benches in the shade in the town square while cracking the pecans that grew wild there.
He never mentioned black walnuts and I did not know they grew in Texas.
My mom, a native of New Mexico, made black walnut cake or German Chocolate Cake with black walnuts and a cream cheese frosting.
My brother and I would be sent down to the creek to gather the black walnuts then beat our fingers black and blue while cracking them for her...
Totally worth it.
We used to get dropped off to gather black walnuts along the Sacramento River and could get $1.00 for a gunny sack full at the feed store in town.
$1.00 could buy a lot in those days...A tube of Daisy Golden BBs was 25 cents. A fifty round box of those new-fangled cheap Federal .22 long rifles could be had for a buck. A package of six #8 fish hooks was 49 cents. A gallon of whole milk with three inches of cream floating on top from the local dairy was $1.00
Life was good.

We picked up a whole lamb from a sheep farmer in western Wisconsin, and I tried boning one of the legs before rolling and roast it. Worked out really well. The bone is in the freezer; later, we'll use it to make lamb and tomato soup. The trick is to split the bone before putting it into the stock, so all that yummy marrow can add its goodness to the soup.

Oh, on a late thread earlier this week, I was surprised at how surprised everyone else was that I buy bags of milk.
Maybe it's a Canadian thing. There are 3 plastic bags in another bags giving you 4 Liters. It's cheaper than the cartons. About $7 Can or less.
You plop it in a plastic milk container, cut the corner and pour.

Gotta love part of the write up Wiki has - they seem now to be fans...
"Studies and allergens
A study by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Consumer Protection in Germany tested eight imported samples of "Dubai chocolate", five from the United Arab Emirates and three from Turkey. It found that all eight samples were considered "defective". Five of the products sampled contained fats other than cocoa butter, which is not permitted in products labelled "chocolate" in Germany. The study also found that five samples, all from the same producer in the UAE, were "unfit for consumption" due to contamination in the manufacturing process as they contained excessive levels of a substance that is considered a probable carcinogen (glycidyl fatty acid esters, 3-MCPD), resulting from the use of low-quality palm oil. All three samples from Turkey were found to contain traces of undeclared sesame, usually as tahini..." It keeps going.

I guess it's an ice-rated ship for polar cruises. Last stop was in South Africa.
And, from cruise ship's own website:
Happier polar passengers, healthier polar environment
Not only will the numerous amenities and on-board entertainments help make your Hondius voyage truly memorable, this ship also gives you the peace of mind that comes with choosing one of the most environmentally friendly vessel on the polar seas. Hondius uses LED lighting, steam heating, bio-degradable paints and lubricants, and state-of-the-art power management systems that keep fuel consumption and CO2 levels minimal. This means that when you sail aboard Hondius, you get to enjoy the exotic landscapes and wildlife as much as possible while impacting them as little as possible.
And they get an outbreak of rat virus that kills 3 people, on a 170-passenger ship.
The moral of the story is: don't trust environmental wackos with your health. You're not their first priority.

Well, LED lighting is fine. Steam heating? Isn't that the norm for ships anyway? Means there must be a boiler belowdecks, somewhere. Biodegradable paints and lubricants? Means there are critters that will eat it, maybe while the paint is supposed to be "protecting", and the lubricants lubing.

Are there actual walnut bits in the ice cream? Because I dislike most nuts, except peanuts (yes, I know they are legumes), because they leave little bits of debris all through my mouth and teeth. If the walnuts have been powdered, or there is just the flavor in there, then I'd love to try black walnut.

I've had them. Not offensive, just tasted like chicken. I was a vegetarian for years, including when I met Dino. He was having no part of that, being from Pittsburgh. So, it was either cook 2 meals or go back to meat....

My kid loves dill pickle salad...I did a cabbage slaw with pickled onions and pickle juice (with olive oil and s&p) a few weeks ago that the youngest loved...
Surprised the iceberg would hold up for the fridge time...my kid loves romaine as his favorite lettuce so I might try your way but sub romaine b/c I have it more (I also have green leaf, but that would fail)...

>> Good for you!
The thing that you feel pretty quickly is that you no longer feel swollen and bloated.
Down to 216 goal is 190.
Haven’t been 190 since 2015.
Might do celebratory 5k once I reach my goal.

If you mean intentionally blackening, then no.
We have a set of good iron cookware but I'm too clumsy to deal with anything that hot.

Don't listen to your body all the time. It can be stupid.

Wolfus, the first time I tried black walnut ice cream as an adult was at Maggie Moos in the Kansas City area, near the Johnson County Community College campus. I ordered it without mix-ins and it was smooth. Braum's has nuts.

Cannot believe Dijon not made in the Dijon region of France is allowed.
Nutella, like Vegemite, belongs to those who eat it as a child, like maggots and souse.
Though and hoped Covidmania would end the hog trough restaurants. Golden Corral still full of heifers and steers getting fattened for slaughter.

Mix finely chopped hazelnuts 1:1 by volume with butter. Melt in microwave, and let sit 2-4 hours for flavoring the butter. Spread on salmon for the last 5-10 minutes of grilling, toasting but not burning the nuts.
