Arkansas "Republican" Says He Might Vote to Impeach Pete Hegseth

He talks like a tough guy -- he's trying to make his vote with the left sound #Based -- but he's a spoo-splattered cum chasm.*


A Republican congressman who narrowly won a seventh House term in deep-red Arkansas refused Sunday to rule out voting to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

"I want to hear the debate on it to see if it merits impeachment versus some other disciplinary action or action by the president, if he's not getting the job done in leading the Department of War," Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) told CBS News' "Face The Nation."

Hill, 69, answered "no" when host Margaret Brennan asked if he was "satisfied with how the war has been handled."

"But, I mean, I think the commander in chief has to take the responsibility for the strategy of conducting the war and how it's been conducted," he added. "But I will tell you one thing. There's nobody in America that wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon."

The House is expected to vote sometime this week on a resolution to impeach Hegseth promoted by lame-duck Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has vowed to force the issue unless the former Fox News host resigns.

"Not prosecuting a war perfectly" is not a grounds for impeachment. It's just a policy difference. And it's not really a policy difference at all because this pussy doesn't offer any of his own war policies that he can even claim would have been more effective.

As Jonathan Turley points out, the Democrats are admitting openly that they have scrapped the Constitution's requirement of high crimes and misdemeanors for impeachment and are now using it simply as a tool to fight for policy changes.


Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley

Rep. Jason Crow (D., Co.) just told Martha McCallum that the impeachment of Hegseth is "not really about impeachment" but rather just a desire to remove him. He said that this is just another means. That is precisely what the Framers did not want impeachment to become...

...Rep. Crow is speaking of impeachment as a way of forcing "a course change." It is exactly the cavalier attitude toward impeachment that can be so destabilizing for our country...

...He added "we have a tool called impeachment" that allows them to remove cabinet members like Hegseth if the President will not do so. When Martha pushed him on such "amorphous" objections, Crow said, "I would love to end the impeachment proceedings...just fire Pete Hegseth."

As Hegseth says: This sham impeachment is just their opening shot in using lawfare to get rid of anyone they don't like -- and that will eventually include ordinary civilians.

52 I will say that Hegseth made a mistake.

He saw what Shrub did and how sending a bunch of men to die doing police work in the middle east would not work and didn't do that.

But his problem is the low intensity conflict model is slow and that's what the left has been able to use against us.

You win wars by inflicting enough pain to force the other side to agree to your terms. Yes things are slowly getting worse for the average Iranian but the IRGC folks don't seem bothered.

We should have *at least* begun a campaign to destroy infrastructure in use by Iranian elites - remove their roads, bridges, power plants, etc. and honestly we should have been level bombing the neighborhoods they live in.

Sure a bunch of them are fine with martyrdom. Let's give it to them and their whole klans until we get IRGC leaders that don't want to die for Allah today...

And they emphasize that they'll take it to court if they have to.
But for what? DOJ has to enforce congressional referrals for contempt.
And then I realize it's the Boesberg Plan--file some frivolous suit in one of these cartel courts.
The cartel judge issues a vague, incomprehensible and/or impossible order.

It's about cowing the men and women in uniform into not following lawful orders because they might wind up in Leavenworth.

______________________

Actually, it's very very much about Hegseth. One of the things he did that blew a hole in the DC money factory related to defense contractors. He made it much more difficult for "retired" command officers to sell their services in the private sector. Defense contractors are dependent on these relationships to acquire direct contacts within the "decision making process" on bids. Then, Hegseth touched the third rail and did away with the "revolving door" for command to retire for a few years while an "unfriendly Executive Office" exists and return when someone more favorable to their career returns. This pissed off the entire command structure at the Pentagon, and they are OUT FOR BLOOD.,..,and a return to the previous structure.

Don't fool yourself. The last person they want in the Dept of War is an actual military experienced individual who looks out for the ranks below the "rubber chicken" dinner circuit Generals, Admirals etc.

Have you read the articles if impeachment Massie presented? The entire complaint can be re-stated as, "Hegseth is getting the job done as Secretsry of War way too competently, as if he thinks he is in charge of actual armed forces and not just some social experiment."

93 Also, and this may be a technicality, but Hegseth was approved as Secretary of Defense.

But he's serving as Secretary of War. Which he was not approved for.

Would be funny to make them go through all this and then say "neener, neener--you impeached the Secretary of War, not the Secretary of Defense."

Perfect: Twice-Deported Illegal Alien Arrested for Making a Bomb Threat Against a Plane In Flight

This guy gets Cultural Enrichment right.


The deranged passenger who claimed he had a bomb aboard a New Orleans-bound United Airlines flight and then tried to rush the cockpit, has been identified as a Honduran illegal migrant twice kicked out of the US, immigration officials told The Post.

I have a scoop: He was deported once for saving too many lives as a heroic doctor, and deported a second time for being such a brilliant engineer he created limitless energy, but Big Energy wanted it kept secret.


Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, 34, was arrested on three separate occasions by Border Patrol for illegally entering the United States, years before he threatened to blow up the United flight 2174 plane out of New Jersey Monday night, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said.

Immigration officials said that Gomez-Alberto, a Honduras native, was arrested twice in the US and deported -- first in September 2011 near El Indio, Texas, and again in October 2014 in Columbus, New Mexico.


The slippery migrant made his way back into the US a third time in 2019 near California's San Ysidro border town, where he was nabbed again, according to DHS.

But Gomez-Alberto was freed from ICE custody in January 2020 after a judge ordered his release pending removal proceedings, authorities said.

Ah, even though he'd committed multiple crimes of sneaking into the country and then sneaking back, a leftwing judge ordered that he be released to flee again while he set a new clock on the potential years of procedure necessary to deport him again.

Those leftwing judges need to be purged and possibly prosecuted. Maybe they should be prosecuted as co-conspirators for all the crimes the illegals they set free subsequently (inevitably) commit.


His criminal history includes felony bomb threat, felony threat--terroristic state offenses, and disorderly conduct, according to the DHS spokesperson.

"Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, criminal illegal aliens are NOT welcome in the United States," the spokesperson said in a statement.



I didn't even see this one -- the communist media sure isn't reporting it:


Visegrad 24
@visegrad24

BREAKING:

A man armed with an AR-15 who said he had come to Washington to kill Trump was arrested by the Secret Service in front of the White House.

They noticed a suspicious man in a vehicle, which later turned out to be stolen. The illegal migrant in the car, who had an AR-15, a Mac 10 and a handgun, told the agents that he had been hearing voices who were telling him to come to Washington and kill Trump.

Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos was quickly arrested after the incident last night



A tweet wondered if the "voices" he heard telling him to murder the president were those of the media, or those of the Democrats. But the voices repeat themselves.


Hello. Happy Humpday.

I don't like whining but I thought I'd ask: Is everyone okay? I'm kinda of depressed and Low Energy Jeb about the fact that America voted to self-extinguish.

And, if that was intentional, that's probably the best news for the future we have:
That's the kind of plausible deniability, monkey-wrenching we need 10,000 times more of from our side.

Also, read a person claiming to be in records retention saying, basically, no records (that the Dems are thundering about being deleted) were deleted.
Because what was classified as a "record" was not deleted.
And what the Dems are after were not classified as records.
But what is not a record is deleted/destroyed per set policy.
Malicious compliance.

THE GREAT REPLACEMENT

ISLAMIZED TEXAS: FROM 313,000 TO 1.25 MILLION MUSLIMS IN JUST FIVE YEARS?

That is what a comparison of these figures suggests:

2020: Approximately 313,000 Muslims.

2025: Approximately 1,250,000, based on figures attributed to the presidents of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston and the North Texas Islamic Council.

If accurate and comparable, those figures would represent a fourfold increase an estimated 937,000 additional Muslim residents.

Texas’s total population grew by 2,560,323 over that period.

On that basis, Muslim population growth would account for approximately 37% of the state’s net population increase.

An extraordinary claim. We are watching the fall of America happen in real time...

I'm much less concerned than I thought I would be. Dems have had power before, and they typically squander it. They'll be doubly screwed this time as they have a large majority, and their radical Left wing is feeling empowered. They're going to overreach, fight internally, their Establishment will want pointless (and safe) hearings and investigations...they won't get much done in 2 years.

The bigger concern is whether Trump can set Republicans up for success in 2028. End the Iran war, keep deporting millions, keep improving the economy, and cut through the (foreign and domestically funded) mass social media disinformation campaign that is successfully hurting Republicans in the minds of Normie voters: they think we're losing to Iran, the economy is terrible, Trump and Republicans are pedo protectors and corrupt, they're slaves to Israel...it's crazy, but they believe it, and it destroyed us in the midterms.

76 The judicial vandalism of the country and culture will continue, likely with increased vim and vigor, now that the very very remote possibility of Congress taking action has been completely zeroed out for 4-6 years or more.

Looking across the rich variety of situations that are politically inexplicable, perhaps the most amazing (and grotesque) is that "sanctuary" lawlessness is directly responsible for thousands of murders, kidnappings, assaults, child molestations, robberies - across the country - and yet AFAIK there has not been 1 cent in political price paid. Dem voters just don't care that people in "their community" are killed, abused, robbed as a direct result of policies they support.

This is just a fundamental evaporation of common sense and even civilization standards. And having to live around and have life degraded by these people (voters) is infuriating.

Some of the best things that have happened in DC over the last 2 years were done by Trump with no help from Congress. He's still there and still pushing his agenda.

Democrats will inevitably ram through some horrible stuff, Trump will veto some and some we will have to deal with. It would be great if the GOP spent some time figuring out how to turn out voters not just do sound bites.

That’s ancient history. All those Dems are long gone. The new crop like AOC, Talarico, el Hamas, etc will gut the country the second they gain real power.

They love guns. They love murdering people. They love war, especially pointless wars. They do absolutely nothing when a non-white obtains or tries to obtain or use guns.

This goes with everything else. The predominant culture used to believe in Imago Dei so they deliberately set out every program or initiative that kills, destroys, deforms and mutilates the human being.

What I have observed is that it is another opportunity to get a virtue signaling badge if you are the victim of a minor crime and then say the correct things afterwards.

Since the gentry left has plenty of disposable income if they lose a phone or bike they can afford to play it off.

Now sometimes leftists in good standing will not take crime well in which case their "friends" will all start noting they always knew the crime victim was...racist.

104 The opportunity cost is the only way I look at it, so yes it's devastating. As well as the incredible confirmation that the American population is so degraded it rewards a party that's dead in the water, with no ideas or past accomplishments to offer, that has devolved into a mindless hate-filled band of vandals (the Dems), with massive victories.

The 1980 election result amidst the 1994 economy/society.

As almost everything achieved so far was with unilateral executive action, with luck that will continue and ramp up (though the lawless obstruction of America's most collapsed and pernicious institution, the judiciary, will limit progress possibly even worse than before, now that they know there's no possibility of repercussions for at least 4-6 years).

And Sec. Mullin, how about non-criminal illegal aliens - are they welcome? Ya know, the vast bulk of the problem? We're at the point where it's hard to avoid concluding Trump never intended to address it.

108 Related to air travel AND my comment above about mass media disinformation (especially relentless, nonsensical Israel bashing)

Bomb hoaxes across Europe disrupt flights as two UK airports also receive threats. At least 21 flights across Europe have been impacted by bomb threats...authorities in Rome say they received one via email from a group called "Fighters of the Male State", claiming to be targeting a "feminist regime"

Hybrid warfare. The chance that this is not russia is basically non existent.

Why not Israel?

Why would flights departing Ireland be targeted so heavily? We're are a neutral country, without major diplomatic issues (albeit we are a hugely Pro-Palestinian)

I hope this isn't a Russian op meant to fatigue airport security to the point where they can do something truly terrible. Russia's government was caught in 2024 trying to smuggle incendiaries-on-timers onto 2 EU cargo planes.

2) The left convinced millions of LIVs to vote the people that raised gas to $4/gallon and created double digit inflation back into power because the price of gas had temporarily gone back to $4/gallon.

Idiot Dems should not be able to do anything material to this with a veto at the ready.

But the "we've been through this before, we'll get 'em next time" approach I find inapplicable to this situation. What about 6 Obama terms in a row? 3 Carter terms? Guess what - you'd survive, the country would survive, but it would be incredibly stupid and sh***y.

One other part of this story - he claimed Pelosi sexually abused him hence the attack. Now the left argues that's because he's crazy but consider how the left would treat anyone else attacking a political they accused of sexually abusing them irrespective of the unlikeliness of the charge

And I'll note one claim you find repeated all the time from the left is a woman who claims that she was an Epstein girl given to Trump. She also claims Trump personally performed an abortion on her on a boat on one of the great lakes. AND she made the same claim about several other men. Biden's FBI told her she was obviously lying.

No previous administration faced the urgent necessity for action that forced our hand here. The problem had matured. And several of them did as much as they could - recall the panicans and uninformed ankle-biters in previous times often included besides the idiot Dems many of the current MAGA elements.

In any case ending the regime, not the war, is the only "exit strategy" (incredibly stupid Beltway concept) that will not be a disaster.

You're on the right track. The Left (with lots of help) convinced the public Trump and the Republicans were on the wrong track, making things worse, etc. The Left is mobilized because they really, really hate Trump, and normies were successfully pysopped into thinking everything had gone to shit, and voting Dem is their only protest. I think a lot of normies don't like Dems, but voted for them to punish Republicans. That's the only real silver lining...this is temporary and CAN pass quickly.

But, if things in actuality are going fairly well, and the Left can successfully lie well enough to TURN TEXAS BLUE, we either need the greatest Pax Americana ever to be successful in 2028, or figure out how to crack the most effective Leftist astrofurfing campaign in history.

Then, come the election, Democraps swarmed the polls, crawling over broken glass to vote against Trump. They considered this a pseudo-presidential election, a referendum on Trump.

194 Remember that what Democrats do is to take things away. At the moment they are once again going down the Bill of Rights and deciding what they will take from you. They are also looking at your property, and deciding how they can take that from you as well. Your family? They are on the list too- abortion, sexualization of your children, brainwashing them for evil purpose in the schools. They want control over your health, and ultimately your life with euthanasia. That’s not hyperbole, it’s on their list that people just voted for.

They also want to take your religion and your God. Most of all, remember they can’t take that from you.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

195 The TSA operates under the assumption that if an immigration judge or ICE has allowed a person out on the street, that person has the right to move about the country. The TSA does not re-evaluate a passenger's background, character, or legal right to be in the country; they only check to ensure the passenger isn't carrying weapons and isn't a suspected terrorist.

I was already kind of down before the election -- I'm in the stage of life when things start going away. I feel pretty bad about the election -- I don't see how this gets fixed. I had suspected the Democrats/Uniparty were going to do something awful, and now they have. Each time the Left has regained the upper hand in this country, they've been worse. They're going to be really, really crazy and bad. I've been nice about it until now. I'm thinking about how I'll stick in their craw this time.

213 Illegal aliens with felony convictions can be barred from using any ID other than REAL ID to transit TSA by simple order of MarkWayne Mullin, Secretary of Homeland Security.

Mullin can also order TSA to check for valid right to travel in the United States for foreign nationals. After all, TSA CHECKS FOR THAT FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS! If you do not have a Real ID or a valid US passport you ccan travel, but they charge you $45 each time and you have to go through a special screening process to make sure you are a citizen.

This clown most likely used a passport from his native country, and since TSA does not check to see if the traveler is validly in the United States, he got on the plane.

Wednesday Morning Rant

mannixape2.jpg

It's Back

Of all the things this midterm election was about, "climate change" - remember that? - wasn't one of them. Middle-aged or older lefties still care, and a lot the youth still care (or say they do), but virtually nobody was voting climate change this year. It was not an electoral issue and practically nobody even mentioned it on the campaign trail. The Democrats weren't trumpeting how important "fighting climate change" is and the the Republicans weren't even bothering with their typical limp-wristed "sure it's a problem, but won't someone please think of the share prices" response because they didn't have to. It never came up.

Despite being muted this year, however, "climate change" remains a powerful weapon and with the communists surging into commanding majorities next year, it absolutely will be a legislative pursuit. It won't be as big as the headline-grabbers like "impeach everyone" or "turn USAID back on" or "open the border" or the virtually inevitable "government shutdown" will be, and that might be helpful to the cause. They can - and will - move on it even if they don't talk much while dismantling everything they can in the name of Mother Gaia. The Party used the increasingly-ghoulish John Kerry to telegraph is intent. At a UN climate change junket in Turkey, he made the preposterous assertion that the recent election demonstrates that the American public sees "climate change" as a "voting issue." It was an election where the issue basically didn't exist, but whatever. Any port in a storm.

So expect more destruction in the name of "climate change" and less opposition to insanity that is already in the works. Reuters provides us with examples of both. First up is a UN-mandated - through the back door, so nobody has to actually pass it or sign a treaty - international wealth transfer scheme wearing the familiar vestments of the Church of Climate: the humble carbon credit. All members of the UN's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) are on the hook for it, since it's an ICAO rule and applies to its members. Spoiler alert: everyone's a member. Like most agencies, the ICAO was invented for reasonable purposes like ensuring consistent navigation rules, airport names, aircraft and airport classification, maintenance standards, etc. Also like most agencies, it is a tool of revolutionaries to impose their will. The scheme imposed by the ICAO - called the "Carbon Offsetting and Reduction ​Scheme for International Aviation" (CORSIA) - becomes mandatory next year and is expected to cost the commercial aviation industry at least 5% of its total annual profits. Dollars extracted from airlines will be transferred to those selling carbon credits. The carbon credit sellers are usually poor countries with jungles. Carbon credits are also usually naked fraud, but no matter.

That'll be fun. While I would like to expect domestic airlines - with the full support of the administration - to just ignore this stupid scheme and dare the ICAO to levy unenforceable fines, I don't think that will happen. I just expect to see a "carbon offset" fee on the receipt the next I fly internationally, if that ever happens. The one upside to the way the ICAO snuck this through is that it applies only to international flights. The average European passenger will get corn-holed by this much more than the average American passenger - at least until our domestic communists impose a national version of the same. You can be sure that it is on their list, and that they won't talk about it too much.

What will hit harder and worse will be the broader degradation of the domestic power situation. For a vision of the future, one needs only to look at Europe and specifically at Germany. Germany, one of the more retarded European countries when it comes to energy, is now reaping the consequences of its energy policy and the policies it has helped impose on the rest of the continent through the EU. Electricity prices there are surging as the "decarbonization" chickens come home to roost. The wind isn't blowing much, and Germany needs the wind to blow. The rest of Europe is also struggling, as hydroelectric production is down and most "renewables" aren't producing enough. Germany's generation capacity - and to a lesser but still significant extent, the rest of Europe's - is increasingly dependent on its increasingly strained natural gas infrastructure. Europe is stuck. They've built too much expensive, unreliable infrastructure. But it's okay, comrade - your chocolate ration will still be increased:

While renewables continue to displace fossil fuels, lower emissions and provide growing volumes of low-cost electricity, the latest market ​turmoil highlights that utilities still ⁠have work to do to ensure power systems remain fit for purpose.
See? The unreliable power that is spiking in price is nonetheless high in volume and low in cost. Reuters says so!

Expect the assault on gas, coal and nuclear to be reinvigorated next year. While they are loudly impeaching everyone and bleating about whatever comes up when they spin the wheel from day to day, expect the congressional committees to quietly advance as much energy destruction as possible. American energy must be destroyed, and it doesn't matter that "climate change" wasn't an election issue. The communists sweeping into office will treat it as a mandate to undo as much energy progress as possible. John Kerry just made that perfectly clear. He may be a wizened and largely disfavored old husk with a face stuffed full of cheap mattress batting by a plastic surgeon who clearly hates him, but that may be intentional. "Climate change" is not going to be front and center over the next two years, but it will be a continuous - and probably quiet - pursuit.

Whether Secretary Wright can stymie them for a year or two is an open question, but they will work manfully to accomplish their goals.

19 What's so bad about carbon?

Carbon dioxide helps the atmosphere trap heat. The problem is that while it does so very effectively in a lab, the actual Earth does not behave at all like the isolated lab experiments (assume a spherical... planet?). And the commies are just hoping they can take over before everyone finds that out.

I expect they'll bring back the 2030 mandates for mpg and emissions along with the fines and punishments they had previously. Which will then usher in default EV mandates again.

Speaking of grocery prices...

Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget.

Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors.

Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf.

The scammy essence of climate change is sitting in plain sight. If it's an existential threat, why aren't we bombing China? Look at their coal consumption, look at the Asian Brown Cloud. They've got to be the single biggest threat to the planet. (Byron York pinned the Dems down on this in a Democrat primary debate, to the audience's derisive hoots, as if he hadn't nailed the issue precisely.)

Also, why aren't we dumping truckloads of money on survival education? Why doesn't our elementary educaitonal system have mandatory classes in swimming, basic agriculture, HUNTING, fire-building, shelter-building, map-making, wound treatment, stuff like that instead of "why all the white boys are bad"?

The hidden camera and smartphone tracking layer inside the shelf.

The digital price tag is only half of the hardware. The real power sits inside the black plastic rail holding the screen and its direct connection to the store app in your pocket.

Kroger's EDGE shelving system integrates with overhead sensors and small optical cameras designed to measure how many seconds a shopper stands in front of a product, along with basic demographic cues. At the same time, Walmart's VusionGroup rails use ultra-precise Bluetooth Low Energy beacons that ping your smartphone the second you walk into the store with the Walmart app installed.

Because your store app knows your past purchase history, your home address, and whether you buy name-brand organic food or store-brand basics, the system knows exactly who is standing in Aisle 4. Federal Trade Commission investigators and US Senate committees have already raised alarms that combining digital shelves with app tracking allows stores to test your personal pain threshold and flash personalized "deals" that are actually higher than what the person next to you is paying.

89 Mark Steyn:

In response to Saturday's column, several Texan readers pointed out that what happened in the midterms owed as much to shifting demographics as to any "affordability" concerns. Over nineteen million persons were registered to vote in the state on Tuesday, which is a near eight per cent increase on the 2022 midterms - or close to a million-and-a-half new "Texans".

How many of them voted for the Democrats? Answer: all of them. Compared to 2022, Governor Abbott got the same number of ballots - approximately four-and-a-half million ...but the Democrat nominee improved the party's vote haul by 1.7 million, and thereby won. You do the math.

In the first eighteen months of the Trump Administration, just shy of one million "migrants" were deported or "self-deported". But how many invaders had Joe Biden let in? Estimates vary from close to seven million (per the Heritage Foundation) to twenty million (per Trump's new chief of staff). So, for every migrant deported, between two and seven get to stay.

And the President now says that's "too tough". Good luck re-taking Texas in 2028.

90 "Climate wasn't a voting issue" is right, and right that it will be a legislative one. The disagreement is why it wasn't a voting issue. Voters did not stop caring about the weather; this was an election about what things cost, and any policy that arrives as a line on a receipt loses that election no matter who proposes it.
That test is not partisan. The UN aviation scheme is a small cost handed to passengers. A tariff is a much bigger one handed to the same households, and the administration has just said it is keeping the tariffs for the rest of the term. If cost is the yardstick voters actually used this year, then attacking a carbon fee while defending a consumption tax is choosing which costs count.
And the scale is the uncomfortable part: CORSIA is a rounding error next to the tariff schedule. Disclosure: I work on TheBareNews, an AI-native publication; the Left and Right columns are AI-written and there is no original reporting. The tariff side, in figures: https://tinyurl.com/2aqzbc59

I am going to have to test this out on Kroger's website here in Michigan. I have been using Kroger Clicklist pickup since before Covid. So for about 7-8 years now. Have not shopped inside the store at all during that time. I usually create my order around 9-10pm the night before I want to pick up my order the next morning.

I'll have to compare adding a product at my typical time 9-10pm at night and then adding a product the next morning at 7-8am or so. And add in a comparison to adding a product at 5-6pm during peak times.

The fact people get hung up on this stuff amazes me. You pay more then half your income in taxes. Well Trump brought inflation down to 3% it was well over 10% every year under Biden.

Yes Walmart surge pricing stuff means you'll pay more if you go at a busy time for that product. Why does that $.10 matter compared to say...your tax bill?

The Bloomington (Indiana) City Council voted unanimously to pass an ordinance that "prohibits the distribution and deployment" of ASI. The ordinance, which was backed by the Safe AI Forever Institute, defines ASI as a "system or entity capable of significantly outperforming humans on essentially all cognitive tasks" that can operate without "continuous human oversight." Covered models are prohibited from being activated by any user interface within the borders of Bloomington, regardless of where the underlying developer is located. Students at nearby Indiana University won't be booted off of ChatGPT just yet, as the city is yet to designate any models "superintelligent."

I think it is high time that it becomes de rigueur for persons hauled before Congress to address the person questioning them as "Smarmy Little Shit". To wit:

"Is there a question coming my way, Smarmy Little Shit?"

"Did you compose that long and pointless preface yourself, Smarmy Little Shit, or was that a staffer's work product?"

"Is it painful to be as cognitively challenged as you are, Smarmy Little Shit?"

"You could only wish that I held you in as high in esteem as 'contempt', you loathsome Smarmy Little Shit."

73 I really like Ivan Shishkin's landscapes. Natural, realistic, and he never misses details to bring the image to life. Also, his use of light on the land brings out the feel of nature. In this painting he makes he viewer 'see' every individual stalk of wheat and leaf on the trees. It's an amazing ability. The quality of the light on the wheat and the dirt path lets the audience smell the warmth on the land. This is such a simple scene but presented in a masterful way.

Check out Shishkin's Wiki page. It has a few dozen of his works, many of deep woods which I prefer.

Safety standoff distance set by the US Coast Guard is one mile, but it's a big ship so it should be decent viewing.

There will be no explosive charges. It's a controlled flooding operation (opening the sea water intake valves) which is scheduled to commence at 1:00 p.m. CST.

Estimated time for the ship to become fully submerged and settled on the bottom is 45 minutes if all goes according to expectations of those in charge of the scuttling.

He said discovered Kafle lying on the floor as he walked into their primary bedroom to use the en suite bathroom.
Bhatt testified that Kafle was on her back with vomit on her and on the floor next to her. He said there were pills visible in the vomit as well as a bottle of pills nearby. He claimed there were also open cases of pesticides nearby and it appeared the chemical was in her vomit.
Bhatt said he tried reviving Kafle for 45 minutes to an hour before moving her body across the bedroom floor to the bathroom to try to give her water. She was unresponsive and not breathing the entire time, he said.

THE GREAT REPLACEMENT

ISLAMIZED TEXAS: FROM 313,000 TO 1.25 MILLION MUSLIMS IN JUST FIVE YEARS?

That is what a comparison of these figures suggests:

2020: Approximately 313,000 Muslims.

2025: Approximately 1,250,000, based on figures attributed to the presidents of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston and the North Texas Islamic Council.

If accurate and comparable, those figures would represent a fourfold increase an estimated 937,000 additional Muslim residents.

Texas’s total population grew by 2,560,323 over that period.

On that basis, Muslim population growth would account for approximately 37% of the state’s net population increase.

An extraordinary claim. We are watching the fall of America happen in real time....

ISLAMIZED TEXAS: FROM 313,000 TO 1.25 MILLION MUSLIMS IN JUST FIVE YEARS?
That is what a comparison of these figures suggests:
2020: Approximately 313,000 Muslims.
2025: Approximately 1,250,000, based on figures attributed to the presidents of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston and the North Texas Islamic Council.
If accurate and comparable, those figures would represent a fourfold increase an estimated 937,000 additional Muslim residents.
Texas’s total population grew by 2,560,323 over that period.
On that basis, Muslim population growth would account for approximately 37% of the state’s net population increase.
An extraordinary claim. We are watching the fall of America happen in real time....

The Morning Report — 11/11 /26

VeteransDay26.jpg

Good morning kids. First and foremost today is Veterans' Day,and so to all who have worn the uniform and most especially those who are still serving in our armed forces, I speak for all of us when I say I salute you and offer my gratitude for your service and sacrifices. My father and two uncles of blessed memory served their country during World War Two, one of whom did not return alive from the Pacific, and we honor him and all those who paid the ultimate price on Memorial Day. Today is set aside for all who served and still serve because without their selfless dedication and love of country we would not have made it to 250 years. So thank you and God bless you.

Surprisingly, or sadly I suppose as a reflection of the state of our nation and society for the first time in many years I'm finding a shocking lack of content reflecting on, let alone even acknowledging, what today is and what it means. But there is this one.


Veterans contribute to our communities in unique ways, with their training, leadership, ability to work as a team, and understanding of what it means to serve a cause bigger than themselves. Their military service may be over, but they still have so much to offer our churches, workplaces, neighborhoods, and families.

Our country doesn’t ask every soldier to give his or her life, but every one of them is willing to. Long before any deployment, service members give up time with their families, months of training away from home, and the stability of an ordinary career, stepping up so the rest of us don’t have to...

...What does honor look like in practice? It starts with how we raise the next generation. At American Heritage Girls, one area of focus for troop life is cultivating a girl’s citizenship as a member of her community, state, and country. That same instinct should shape how every family raises its kids. Teach your children why service members’ positions demand reverence, and why that reverence shouldn’t fade once they’ve retired from the service. At a time when we feel divided over nearly everything, Americans can build the kind of unity that begins by honoring those who have faithfully protected and served.

Well, that is a nice sentiment indeed, but as last week's midterms might very well foreshadow, this may be the last official Veterans' Day holiday we actually celebrate or are allowed to celebrate considering those who "WON" the majority last week view this nation and its armed forces as the moral equivalent of the Waffen SS!

And while we're on the subject of what happened last week, just freaking wow!

In 2024, Kamala Harris won 4,835,250 votes in Texas. In 2026, Gina Hinojosa, the gubernatorial candidate from her party, picked up 5,230,929 votes and James Talarico, the Senate candidate, scored 5,445,156 votes.

Where did Texas Democrats find 395,679 more voters than in a presidential election?

In October, Texas Secretary of State Robert Howden announced the big news. Texas had hit a record 19 million registered voters or specifically, 19,041,684 voters.

Not only was Texas up a whopping 17,119,632, nearly 2 million from its 2022 numbers, but there were now 418,000 more voters than there had been in 2024.

. . . The outcome in Texas was the work of a giant political machine in which tax-exempt foundations passed along money to non-profit groups which then funded local non-profit community activist groups: some of which benefit from government funding aimed at helping minorities. Money moved, sometimes illegally, between C3s and C4s and PACs, violating laws against using non-profits for electioneering, while being focused on one thing: registering voters.

How many of those voter registrations were legitimate? How many of those registered were actually citizens? How many local community organizers ensured that they would be getting more grants by finding dead voters or voters who didn’t exist?

Not a smidgen of corruption or fraud and any suggestion that our elections aren't completely fair and free of fraud is MAGA republican propaganda!!!

Elsewhere, this utter abomination is yet another foretaste of what we are facing.

With the stroke of a pen, California Governor Gavin Newsom has delivered a devastating blow to the rule of law and a cruel insult to the families of murder victims.

Well, looking to 2028, with Greaseball Newsom as a potential frontrunner to be at the top of the ticket in the Democrat Party, I had the thought that with this complete debasement of morality and the rule of law Newsom might have spawned a potential Willie Horton 2.0 advertisement!

Of course this presupposes that he actually does win the nomination and that the GOP along with whoever is at the top of our ticket has the brains to weaponize this and use it to devastating effect as Bush the elder did against Michael Dukakis.

It also presupposes that the Democrats won't steal 2028 like they did 2020 and now several key states last week, and if Texas' fully communized state government decides to join that insane national Poplar vote compact, the Electoral College is effectively abolished and we're screwed, seemingly, forever.

Thankfully, we have the GOP.

Senate Republicans chose current Majority Leader John Thune as minority leader in January. Oof. No one even challenged him, even though the Democrats flipped seven seats and will likely flip two more. Some senators tried to delay the leadership vote, but that failed.

On a more positive note, at least bipedal piece of shit Tom Massie's attempt to impeach Pete Hegseth went down in flames.

Anyway, God bless you veterans and on that note I bid you all to despite all the horrid news and things we are facing, have a good day.

8 Proposition: if the voting fraud theorists are correct, it would follow, based on the democrats' extraordinary success at installing a national fraud infrastructure, that republicans (or any opposition party) will never win another election. This would seem to meet all the criteria of a Constitutional crisis and demand an immediate response from all branches of government. As Congress has shown no willingness to pass legislation to address the starkly evident threats to our vote and ensure the integrity of elections, and as courts are largely corrupt and undependable, it falls to the Executive branch to take action, and with urgency given the imminent resumption of legislative control by the party responsible for implementing the fraud.

Yet I see from the Executive branch only lamentations about the probability of the fraud, with vague, plaintive calls for someone else (i.e., congress) to take action.

In any case, if the proposition is correct, two years are all the remain to save the electoral process and, essentially, the country.

49 As most know I’ve been pouring over the numbers; and I’ve found that the biggest, easily exploited loophole in Texas election requirements was not illegals voting, but rather Legal Resisent Aliens, who are here legally but aren’t supposed to vote. They are given Texas driver’s licenses and all ID, but are not citizens with voting rights.

Texas has generally only required a Drivers license and/or a utility bill to register to vote , but no proof of citizenship. That was an error that none of the Republican leaders cared to notice.

There are currently 5.8 million resident legal aliens in Texas, and the vast majority are from Hispanic countries. Would not have been difficult to focus on this group and find a million or more votes.

And now that Democrats will be in charge of all state law enforcement, no one will ever look into it.

Enjoy the nice warm weather, the scenic views, the Nepo Babies, celebrities and 3rd World millionaires zooming through your neighborhood in their EV's, the crap schools, the homeless tent cities, the high taxes and regulation and best of all the taquerias on every corner. Hopefully I can cornhole my mexican maid while she cleans my house like Arnold did. Muy Bueno!

63 Weimar Germany was wracked with street violence as competing party militias battled for control.

The Nazi's SA was only one of many paramilitaries fielded by Germany's political parties at the time.

When Hitler was named Chancellor, he turned the SA into police, granting state power to their violence while criminalizing the others.

He also nationalized the police, which until then had been creatures of their respective state governments.

All of a sudden, violence became a Nazi monopoly and they applied it most broadly against their enemies, except this time with official, legal approval.

Nazi violence became state violence. What was prohibited became mandatory.

I live in SC. I can't stress enough how many unrelenting swarms of people seem to have moved here in the upstate in the past 10 years. It's been constant. And now the results of that are coming to fruition. We will be stuck with Annie Andrews until she croaks or moves on. Guaranteed. As Jr. Black has noticed, and it seems to hold some water, once a red state starts slipping, then comes the first Democrat US Senator, and then slowly the chipping away at the rest of the state unfolds.

Let me tell you a little secret:

Amnesty passed over a decade ago. In fact, as part of the Amnesty deal, illegals get automatic reduced sentencing, tax exemption, free medical, full voting rights, entitlement perqs, and waiving of all licensing, permitting and insurance requirements.

They didn't have to write it down on paper because everyone knows that a piece of paper doesn't have anything to do with reality—they just agreed to moving illegals and other foreigners ahead of you and not bother to notify you.

145 The Socialists - Democrats have quite a following... a cult. A few self-identifying Democrats who were in local contests for county, state or city elections won. But here in Kentucky we remained (mostly) red.

Yet... on various social media sites like Facebook, you'd think otherwise. The crowing from people here about something that happened in Texas, or North Carolina, or wherever is off the charts. And it's laced with threats of violence.

I'm sure it's not all people from around here, and I'm equally sure it's probably bots... but it speaks to how organized the left is with their messaging. While not illegal, it certainly played a factor in the midterm outcomes. We (Republicans in general) need to work on that.

The ones in office won't.

160 That explanation matches the available evidence more than any other.

I believe that post-modernism and post-enlightenment thinking has removed from today's vocabulary any ability to intellectually process spiritual warfare.

So there are only secular half-baked mechanical reasons to attempt to explain spiritual phenomena.

The Scriptures are rich in associating the rise and fall of empires, kings and nations due to spiritual influences. Not just one-offs, but a continuous live stream of change.

Start with the Garden, pass by Egypt and Pharoah's heart being hardened by YHWH, watch as the Assyrians, Phoenecians, Medes, Persia, Greece and eventually Rome all find their births and deaths through spiritual forces. The parable of the soils is really not different.

It just might be true that spirits introduced and nurtured what appears to be a well orchestrated turn in the former US's destiny.

Specific to Texas

She treats Texas results (including James Talarico’s performance relative to prior Democratic candidates) as consistent with historical midterm/wave patterns rather than evidence of unique or decisive fraud. Talarico outpolling Kamala Harris’s 2024 Texas numbers has a clear parallel in Beto O’Rourke outpolling Hillary Clinton in 2018. Large swings among young voters and Hispanics (which she had flagged in pre-election data) and heavy early-voting shares align with the NGO turnout machine she documents nationally, not with machine hacks or midnight dumps.

Viral claims of an FBI raid uncovering tens of thousands of fraudulent Democratic ballots in a Houston warehouse were widely circulating around Election Day 2026 but were independently debunked by the FBI, local election officials, and fact-checkers...

In short, her consistent position is data-driven skepticism of the most dramatic fraud narratives while highlighting real vulnerabilities (lax verification, NGO scale, opacity) and urging focus on institutional reform rather than post-election non-certification.

Vote fraud is the Perfect Crime because more often than not, it rewards the perpetrator and there is zero possibility that it would be prosecuted. Its a crime that should be done Each And Every Time there is a opportunity, otherwise you are just a Loser and will have to suffer from the tyranny of those who leveraged it to their own advantage.

People in the crowd commonly referred to it as “Obama money.”

The key exchange with one woman was:

Rogulski: “Why are you here?”
Woman: “To get some money.”
Rogulski: “What kind of money?”
Woman: “Obama money.”
Rogulski: “Where’s it coming from?”

Legal/illegal does not matter.

Recall the scene from Batman Begins:

Bruce Wayne: I've had training!
Henri Ducard: The training is nothing! The *will* is everything!
Henri Ducard: The will to act.

Laws mean nothing without people in a position of power with the will to enforce them.

No one faced any consequences for the 2020 rigged and stolen election. The GOP refused to pass the SAVE Act.

Save for Florida, no one is enforcing election (or immigration) laws anywhere in the country.

And here we are.

Posted by: redridinghood at November 11, 2026 09:23 AM

I don't think social media makes people dumber, as much as it just reinforces ignorance.

Prior to social media, if you had a dumb idea, it remained with you or your small social circle. And people would think "I think X, but pretty much everyone else around me thinks Y, so I must be wrong." And the dumb idea is contained to minimal people.

After social media, now these dumb ideas are spread across the country and across the world. And then it's just an avalanche. As then you get some people thinking "well, wow, if this many people think this, it must be true" and join with the other people with dumb ideas.

Then there's websites and podcasts and TikToks and Instagrams and whatever else out there reinforcing all of these dumb ideas.

And now leftist-trained AI has come along to make things worse going forward.

So. . . it's OK when Haitians are killing (and sometimes eating?) one another and any foreigner who visits.
It's also OK when Haitians are dumped in middle America, then start raping and killing the locals and local wildlife.
However, it's NOT OK when a country decides to kill the violent Haitians who killed his citizens.

230 Good morning, and thank you, J.J.

From above,"...whoever is at the top of our ticket has the brains to weaponize this and use it to devastating effect as Bush the elder did against Michael Dukakis."

Great point! The 1988 presidential campaign of "Bush the Elder" has been widely studied in political science as a masterclass in aggressive, highly effective campaign strategy. (In fact, so widely studied it appears the script has now been flipped against the GOP during several presidential election cycles.) 🤷‍♀️

What I most remember running up to the presidential election was that Mikhail Gorbachev, then leader of the Soviet Union, shifted global perception of the Soviet Union by introducing policies like openness & restructuring, releasing political prisoners, and engaging in friendly nuclear disarmament summits with Reagan.

He was extremely popular in Western media.

OTOH, George H.W. Bush had served as Director of Central Intelligence (CIA) Jan. '76 to Jan. '77 under President Gerald Fold.

During his 1988 campaign and subsequent presidency, critics on ALL sides frequently targeted his intelligence background, pointing to the agency's history of covert

Posted by: L - No nic... at November 11, 2026 09:44 AM (NFX2v)

231 operations, involvement in Latin American dictatorships, and secrecy to frame him as an unprincipled "deep state" operative. (Wikipedia; but it's okay.)

Because Gorbachev was actively humanizing the Soviet Union & dismantling the old Cold War threat, a unique rhetorical window opened for domestic critics. For years, it became common to hear that Bush's past at the CIA represented a greater threat to global peace and democratic ideals than Gorbachev's rapidly reforming of Soviet government. (The Miller Center, more.)

While the evil spymaster label stuck from his worse critics, Bush's foreign policy approval skyrocketed after the resignation of Gorbachev on Christmas Day 1991, and U.S. victory in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

His approval rating had reached a historical 89%!

The U.S. entered an economic recession in 1990. Though the recession officially ended in March 1991, the economic recovery was slow and painful, as they tend to be.

Despite his popularity in many areas, Bush Sr.'s 1992 re-election campaign was derailed by a sluggish domestic economy, a famously broken tax promise, an aggressive third-party challenger, and a perceived disconnect from everyday Americans.

Posted by: L - No nic... at November 11, 2026 09:44 AM (NFX2v)

232 What happened?
👉🏻The sluggish economy and "It's the Economy, Stupid" made famous by Carville for Bill Clinton's election.
"In order to keep the campaign on message, Carville hung a sign in Bill Clinton's Little Rock campaign headquarters that read:
Change vs. more of the same.
The economy, stupid.
Don't forget health care.[4]" Wikipedia

👉🏻 Bush's 1988, Broken "Read My Lips" Tax Pledge. In 1990, he broke the pledge & negotiated a budget compromise with congressional Democrats that included tax hikes.
👉🏻Ross Perot effect. Perot won 18.9% of the popular vote.
👉🏻 "Out of touch" vs. Clinton's "youthful" charisma.

The critics summarized Bush Sr. failed to articulate a compelling domestic vision.

Like classic Disney, the progressives wait a generation or so and re-release parts or whole of the same. Along with substantial changes in voting, it brings in the audience.

Good day

239 Worth separating two things in the Schumer story, because most of the coverage blurs them. Sanders and Slotkin are not really arguing ideology. They are arguing that a caucus which flinched on the March 2025 spending bill after calling it dangerous, and then lost a shutdown fight over subsidies it had picked, cannot credibly promise voters it will deliver anything. That is a competence argument, and it is the same one a lot of people on this side made.
What nobody auditioning for the job will say out loud: the remedies being floated, more subsidies, credits, rent caps, move costs around rather than remove what created them. Van Hollen's demand for an actual contest is the most honest note in the chorus and changes the least. Schumer can lose the job and deserve to. That is not the same as naming the cause, and a better spokesman does not retire it.

Top Story

  • Zen 6 is here but not for you. (WCCFTech)

    Only the server versions are shipping now, but that tells us pretty much how the desktop versions will perform, because the CPU chiplets used are identical; only the I/O die changes.

    And what we see from the CPU chiplets is 27% better performance at the same clock frequency, 10% higher clock frequencies (and desktop chips may go higher than that), and 50% more cores - twice the total performance.

    Also interesting is the Zen 6c low-power chiplet. Unlike Intel's low-power cores it is functionally identical to the full Zen 6, just implemented in a denser, power-optimised layout. But where Zen 5c had 16 cores with 2MB of cache per core - twice as many cores but half the cache per core of Zen 5 - Zen 6c has 32 cores per chiplet and 4MB of L3 cache per core. 128MB in total, which is more than a desktop 9800X3D chip.

    And the 32 cores all being on a single die means there is no added latency between the cores and between the cores and the cache. Or not much, anyway; L3 cache accesses look to be about 10 cycles slower than Zen 6.

    As to when we'll see Zen 6 on the desktop - that's unanswered. Engineering samples for the laptop versions are already circulating, so it's up to AMD's marketing, so somewhere between tomorrow and never.


  • Tom's Hardware found a 93% performance gain comparing a 256-core Zen 6c with a 192 core Zen 5c. (Tom's Hardware)

    So right in the ballpark of 2x.

The woman sent a lovely card of thanks with a painting of the Trump golf course in Bedminster and a pen with the name. Apparently their daughter works with the Trump organization and they like him very much . Anyway, I thought it was so nice of these people to go out of their way to thank me.

86 AMD also announced MEXT, which appears to be a predictive swap file. (WCCFTech)

All modern operating systems already have swap files, where unused pages in memory are written out to disk to free them up for other tasks. What MEXT does is try to read the pages back in before they are actually needed so this doesn't kill performance - and reportedly works pretty well. It's still slower than having enough DRAM, but it's faster than traditional swap mechanisms.

Perfect for high RAM use & churn applications; gaming, video and media production, animation, 3D Modeling & CAD, etc.
If they ever release this to desktop.

It might eat up some SSDs though with that much data write.
I guess that's why MEXT is coming to data centers first, it appears.

And is she why you can't buy an RTX 5090?

She's an OK looking Chinese TV anchor who moved on to AI data center acquisition manager who managed to bang one of the wealthiest men in the word to get GPU chips at the behest of the CCP.

I can't blame her for the price of 5090s but I hope she can take credit for Jensen Huang resigning sometime in the next several months.

Not because I dislike the man, he's a genius at creating graphics processors and it lucked into AI because of the power, It's because I think he's too greedy, arrogant, and it's coming back to haunt him and his company.

All that circular funding Nvidia has been doing to keep the bubble going the past few years is going to bite hard if the customers start going under.

That could mean cheaper 6090s, though, so I'm always looking for that silver lining.

92 Stacy Keach once played the consummate villain, Harry Roat Jr., in Wait Until Dark for TV. I think the TV-movie is on YooToob.

This puts Keach in the same club with Robert Duvall (who created the role on B'way in 1966) and Alan Arkin. And Quentin Tarantino, who -- if his turn as the creepy robber in From Dusk Til Dawn is any indication -- was probably darn good at projecting villainy.

That's great, but if those aren't memory wafers it doesn't do us much good.

If Elon is producing any of his own CPU chips that's one less foundry like TSMC or Intel that's got to do it.

If his long term plan works out, all of those fabs are going to help bring prices down a lot.

Let's just hope he isn't railroaded by the Dems for something before he can get there.

This is an interesting part:
How TSMC might fit in remains open. TSMC says any fab with its involvement has to be run by TSMC, while Musk said his own companies would build and operate Terafab, a scenario which could leave TSMC as a space tenant. At least the spending plans are known: $16.8 billion for the first phase in Grimes County, Texas, with total investment of up to $119 billion if later phases proceed. A pilot plant could be completed as early as July 2027.

100 Why Grimes County, Texas? I wonder.

Mostly rural Southeast Texas, population of around 30,000.
Most notable for Novosota, the biggest town, having a notable resident by the name of Chuck Norris until earlier this year.

The county did some luring:
Grimes County commissioners approved a full property tax abatement package to create incentives to attract SpaceX's Terafab semiconductor manufacturing complex to the area, in the vicinity of Gibbons Creek Reservoir, originally built for the now-decommissioned Gibbons Creek Steam Electric Station.

But Elon could have gotten a similar deal in most rural Texas counties.

I think he liked the name Grimes because he has three children with a woman named Grimes; X Æ A-Xii ("X") born May 4, 2020, Exa Dark Sideræl ("Y") born via surrogate in December 2021, Techno Mechanicus ("Tau") born via surrogate in June 2022.

If Elon could rename it to X County, he probably would but he'll take Grimes as second best.

Sounds like they really searched hard for where data center workers eat lunch.

I'm telling you, if I've only got an hour for lunch I'm probably not going to a sit down joint in nearby Whitehaven but grabbing a sandwich or something fast to eat to get back on time.

I also like how they went to one black joint in town are trying to intimate that even if Musk has brought jobs to town he's a racists for not giving black jobs so they can eat the "The warm African cuisine at Bala’s Bistro" - which seems kinda odd that the best they can come up with if that the food was warm.

2 accounts on X worth checking out if you're interested in the timeline of events of the last day of the Fitz

Visit Sault Ste. Marie

Starting [Today] at 1 AM, we’ll be sharing the real radio transmissions from the night the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost on Lake Superior, 50 years ago.

These posts will follow the timeline as it happened, from the first reports of rough seas to the ship’s final transmission.

We share them in remembrance of the 29 men who were lost, and in respect for all who work the Great Lakes.


Edmund Fitzgerald in Real Time

In 2025, we commemorated the final voyage of the Mighty Fitz and the 29 souls lost on board, on the 50th anniversary, and we will do so again this November

Highway wildlife crossings are evidently a thing. I'd like to see one in person.

The world's largest wildlife crossing opens soon. Here's how to see the cute animals.

Soon California drivers traversing the 101 freeway won't be the only ones commuting in comfort. As hundreds of thousands of people zoom down the multi-lane highway (assuming there's no traffic jam!), their animal counterparts — the wildlife population that lives in northern Los Angeles County — will be similarly at ease.

That's because officials will finally unveil the completed Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, a large, vegetated overpass that will help animals cross traffic safely and comfortably move across the land split by asphalt and vehicles. It is the largest wildlife crossing in the world.

***

Over the last week, biologists have been installing a series of wildlife cameras near the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area to track animal populations before the crossing officially opens on Dec. 2. By the time of opening, scientists and nature watchers will be able to monitor its visitors via 50 cameras and four thermal video cameras.

Project leads told the Los Angeles Times that the cameras' photo stream will be available to the public. For now, live video feeds will only be available to researchers for security reasons.

The cameras are already picking up hopeful moments, including the path's first visitor: A single coyote trotting up the side of the currently unfinished path, shielded by the cover of night and the lack of blinding headlights.


Colorado wildlife overpass cut vehicle-animal collisions by 91%, report finds

Colorado officials have tracked herds of elk, bears, pronghorn and even northern leopard frogs ambling across its new wildlife overpass. According to a newly released report, the overpass, which acts as a bridge over a busy stretch of interstate, has helped cut wildlife-vehicle collisions by 91% since its completion 10 months ago.

The overpass is the centerpiece of a larger system built by the state to assist wildlife crossing the highway, which also includes miles of 8-ft-tall fencing and five large wildlife underpasses.

“One of the most heartwarming moments for me was when [Colorado department of transportation] sent me a picture of an elk mama taking her calf under [Interstate-25],” Brandon Marette, a wildlife biologist for Colorado parks and wildlife, told CBS News. “All came to fruition in that one moment. That elk with her calf was just standing there in safety.”

***

This region of Colorado is known for high movement of large game. State officials say that wildlife underpasses and tunnels often don’t work for big animals, such as bull elk, because they restrict mobility and don’t accommodate their antlers.


“Elk and pronghorn like these big open structures where they can see for miles in each direction,” Chuck Attardo, the environmental manager for Colorado department of transportation, told CBS News. “For decades, pronghorn going from Trinidad to Greenland were looking for a place to cross on I-25. And when we open this up, we have pronghorn on video using the overpass, and for the first time in decades they’re coming over here to the west side.”

While large game animals have been taking advantage of the crossing, officials have also tracked smaller wildlife using the corridor, including mule deer, coyotes, rabbits, frogs and the threatened Preble’s meadow jumping mouse.

Well, I don't think Lightfoot has a problem with enunciation. I think the problem lies with listeners who are used to poppy love songs that run for 2:24. Fitzgerald is more of an epic poem, set to music. It demands that one pays attention.

My girlfriend's father was an EVP at Olglebay Norton at the time the Fitz went down. A very grim, quiet house in the days that followed. When Gordon Lightfoot's song came out, he about had a stroke ... the song made him so angry.

95 Senate GOP beyond parody. Even bearing in mind that leadership votes are largely based on $$-raising power, political network and savvy, and occasionally (in the old days) on seniority and parliamentary skills (Robert Byrd) - this is beyond grotesque. You suffer this big - and this weird, and pathetic - a loss, you let someone else take the helm.

It's like Dubya not accepting George's resignation after 9/11. Or keeping Short and Kimmel after 12/7/41 (even though they were kinda sorta railroaded). Or a coach not quitting after a 1-15 season.

Just a darkly funny part of the overall national nightmare and humiliation.

The first time I heard The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald I didn't know about the actual wreck (yes, shame on me). I thought it was about a very old wreck, like from the 19th century. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song for the ages -- or maybe shipwrecks are stories for all ages.

111 Oy. What a night. I was having a nice phone conversation with a fellow Moron, hung up, and got in bed with my wife. She said she wanted me to fix a squeaky hinge.

I said "hell, it's only 2111hrs, I'll just go get some WD-40 from the shed right now," and that's when the trap was sprung!

My 10 month old, very black cat, who is in her first heat, leapt from beneath my shoe rack where she was hiding, out into the inky blackness, like a shadow among shadows.

I went out with a flashlight and a can of food and hunted for 45 minutes, to no avail.

So I went inside, locked the dog in the back of the house, shut off the lights, opened the doors and windows, and laid in wait on the kitchen floor.

"Skritch skritch," I heard from the top of the fence, and thought "that's her, or a raccoon," and ran outside.

It was neither. It was a big, fluffy, horny tomcat. I ran him off, and that flushed her out - she was waiting beneath the car for him and his unbridled cat passion.

She got snatched up and now she is strutting around my house in high dudgeon. She is NOT amused.

It was just the one kid, so I helped by dragging cuttings up so the kid could stuff them in the chipper. It cost, but it took an hour, instead of the 3 days it would have taken to shove it all into a trailer and take it down to the place on the highway that charges 70 bucks a load. I saved a lot of frustration today. And I have a nice pile of chips to mulch my trees and my flower beds with.
I will have the tree service back when I negotiate with the neighbor over topping the hedge down to 4 feet. I want to take it off at t he ground but his wife won't have that.

I'm pretty sure looking at historical demographics is a waste of time and chasing the past. The left registered 20 million new voters recently across the US including Texas and other states that had huge and hard to explain vote totals by issues alone. And many of those states, including Texas, did not require proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Talarico got more early votes than Paxton got total votes and he spent 2 of the last weeks of the campaign, well, somewhere completely off the campaign trail.

No, I have no idea, and I'm not pronouncing on the sub-topic of Hispanic vote switchers (or new voters) and any relationship to immigration issues.

Could well be that the massive Dem vote increase was literally just brute registration/turnout arithmetic. I assume some data guys are going to look into this. Hard to believe an effort this massive slipped under the radar, but I have yet to see a word on it from any political pros (before or after last Tuesday).

In 1913, there was no radio news, no TV. A few of the Lakes ships might have been equipped with wireless telegraphy, but probably not all. If distress calls went out, the few who heard them would not be able to make it widely known in a short time. Some of the missing ships may not have been deemed lost until days after they failed to arrive at their destination.

If you haven't seen it you should watch the video DataRepublican recently posted. It's a compilation of various NGO leaders explaining exactly what they did to recruit an army of people, paid and volunteer, to register new voters for the 2026 midterms.

Look at the total number of Democrat votes this past election. It was a presidential turnout for the left. And no, they weren't that angry.

Our Congressional reps mostly suck. But we didn't get dragged because of the price of oil. The left found a way to get 20 more million votes than we had. Somehow. Unexpectedly. We better figure out how to play that game or it won't matter what policies are in play.

Here’s a bit of the Texas numbers.
From the census bureau, 2026 Texas population numbers:
Hispanic/Latino : 41.7%
White/Non-Hispanic: 37%
Black/Asian/Other: 21%

The election breakdown this year, in Texas (roughly)
Hispanic: 75/25 in favor of Dems
Anglo/Non Hispanic: 75/25 GOP
Black/Asian/Other: 80/20 Dem

.75 x .417 =0.313
.25 x .37 =0.0925
.80 x .21 =0.168

.31 + .09 + .16 =0.56

That’s how Texas Dems wiped out the GOP by double digit margins this time.

Also look at the number of states that don't require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Texas is one of them until Jan 1, 2027.

If you remember weeks before the election the DOJ sued CA to sequester 20,000 votes that they suspected were not American voters. That's a fraction of the overall numbers but even then CA fought it and leftist judges supported the state.

More than half of US states don't require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Some don't even require ID to vote. Blue states fought the DOJ for over a year about turning over their voter rolls for bullshit reasons.

Kind of missing the point. If a county historically voted 10 to 1 in on direction and last election went to 10 to 2 then it moved direction.

Nobody who claims this was all about the price of eggs and Iran ever explains how Talarico got 5.4 million votes when Beto the fake Mexican got 2 million fewer in 2022. Paxton didn't lose support, he got about average for a Republican in a midterm senate race in Texas. How did the weirdo who wasn't nearly as nationally celebrated as Beto find 2 million more votes?

I said during the campaign that Hinojoza couldn’t win because she wasn’t even running a campaign. I was wrong on both counts.

Gina Hinojoza ran what was in retrospect one of the most brilliant insurgent campaigns ever. It was all on Spanish language media, internet and radio, and us Anglos never even noticed it. She and her people pushed the line that ICE was coming for ALL of them, didn’t matter if they were citizens or not. Abbot never noticed this campaign so no Republicans ever even challenged this claim, so it went unrefuted.

From 2024 to 2026, average Hispanic vote showed a +29 point shift in favor of the Dems, and the 14 Hispanic majority border counties showed a + 38 point shift. And Hispanic turnout was the heaviest ever seen in a Texas election.

We thought Talarico vs Paxton was the most important race. We were wrong. Hinojoza vs Abbot was the race that drove everything, and she kicked Abbot’s ass.

209 I'm seriously not buying the "spanish language" explanation for the Texas governor win.

On the one hand it does not pass the smell test that Republicans simply didn't notice something the opponent said 600,000 times just because it was in spanish.

On the other hand maybe that's actually too believable.

But even *that* is usually indication of a hoax explanation. Something that sounds too believable is usually fake. And so here we have something that is both too unbelievable to be fake and too believable to be real.

211 I wonder what would happen if you took all those paper ballots in Texas and counted them again, only this time you didn't run them through electronic counting machines, but tallied them up using pencils and paper.

But then, never ask a question if you can't stand the answer.

212 >>Obviously not. So if you truly believe this was the result of mass fraud, then it’s time to just quit fighting for good, because clearly the machine is far too powerful to ever beat. But I think this was a result of a series of huge mistakes we made, and that can be reversed.

Not sure I get your A to B.

Why did Texas allow people to register to vote without proof of citizenship? A law was finally passed in 2025 to stop that but the enforcement doesn't happen until next year. That was one of those huge mistakes.

Far too often people keep focusing on election machines instead of looking for loophole in the law. The left does.

Why do you think the Motor Voter laws were passed and Democrats push so hard to give illegals drivers licenses? Why did the Save America Act get over 80% approval, even a majority of Democrats, if people didn't at least worry about illegal voting? Because they obviously do.

Fraud isn't always a blunt instrument. It's more often finding weak spots and exploiting them. That's what early voting is all about.

214 Why rethugliKKKans are scum. Black voters in Mississippi who checked to see if their vote had been counted were told they were disallowed and go to county court house to show their ID that they live where they were registered to vote. When there were told it wasn't their ID ;but problem with their signature. told to go to polling place. There they were told their signature was good ;but poll workers had not initialed the ballots invalidating them. So far all have been black voters. And you wonder why people say rethugliKKKans are scum.

Finding weak spots and legally exploiting them isn’t fraud, it’s just smart politics, and it’s our fault that our enemies are so much better at it than we are. Abbot was Governor for three terms, had Republican majorities in both houses, and he just started to think about tightening up voter registration last year? Inexcusable.

And why didn’t anyone in his organization pay attention to what Hinojoza was doing? Because he was so sure that he’d be anointed for a 4th term that he never bothered campaigning at all. He thought he no longer needed to make the effort.

But everyone does have to show ID to vote in Texas, most commonly their drivers license.

Here’s the rub; “You do not need to be a U.S. citizen to get a Texas driver’s license. Texas allows non‑citizens to apply as long as they can prove lawful presence in the United States, identity, and Texas residency.”

Unlikely to be illegals, they can’t get drivers license. The loophole is for Legal resident aliens, who CAN get drivers licenses. Official reports say there are currently 5.8 million legal resident aliens in Texas. (Amusingly that’s over 5 times the population of Rhode Island)

241 I will say that I know of only two cases where valid eligible citizens were disenfranchised:

Me, because I said that serving on a Jury in the county I was registered to vote in would be a burden as I worked full time in a different county (Jury commissioner conspired with the registrar of voters to have this American of half Mexican heritage removed from the rolls, then put me back on when it was too late for me to file a complaint--being a registered R in a D county had nothing to do with it, I'm sure).

My Dad. Turns out, when he moved in with my brother in Missouri, he could not prove via his birth certificate who he was (birth certificate had his first name as "Baby"...apparently he was removed from the hospital before his name was registered), even though Dad fought in WW2...My brother made a deal with him: Dad wouldn't vote, and my brother would vote the way Dad wanted him to instead of spending all the time required to get Dad's birth certificate fixed so Dad could register to vote.

And He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ 26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 27 But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ 28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. 29 They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. 30And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”

Dumpster answer I don't need no stinking evidence just saying makes it so here! Dump said 2 million illegals voted in california in 2016. He appointed a commission of his stooges who disbanded after they couldn't find 2 leta alone 2 million. This is why you are liars here.

289 Braenyard-- here's an excerpt from Greenfield:

"Democrats have always had a straightforward plan to flip Texas, the way that they had flipped California, Minnesota and other states, and that was to import and settle the maximum number of immigrants and minorities, build taxpayer-funded community organizations to serve them, register them to vote and then get their ballots, while removing any kind of election security."

290 Also, this:

"IDs are a step forward, but the country is also rife with fake IDs and every other illegal alien abuses IDs to be able to work.

And most crucially, voter registration is electioneering and should be treated that way. No non-profits should be allowed to engage in any step in the election process. No one who is not a government employee or government organization should be allowed to take money in exchange for helping to register voters even if they’re just providing ‘information’ about how to register."

292 86 Re: The Edmund Fitzgerald

I have a high school classmate who was a cook on the Fitz, as a summer job. He was back in school at the end of August, and avoided being the first in our class to die.

My girlfriend's father was an EVP at Olglebay Norton at the time the Fitz went down. A very grim, quiet house in the days that followed. When Gordon Lightfoot's song came out, he about had a stroke ... the song made him so angry.

Gordon Lightfoot donated all the proceeds from the song to the families of the sailors so he did not profit off the sinking.

And the 1913 storm that led to the 19 ships sinking led to the construction of the Splitrock lighthouse on the shore of Lake Superior. Which still stands, restored, to this day. I had a chance to visit this fall.

294 The D's have perfected the fine art of cheating. They didn't do it in 2024 because they knew Kamala would weaken the brand even more than Biden. And they figured their allies in the Media and Entertainment would go after Trump double-speed.

What they didn't expect was that Trump would act on what he said he'd do. They thought he was another Bush, "Say things but don't do them."

Anyone who thinks his stance on deporting illegals hurt him doesn't seem to realize that people who were affronted by his treatment of illegals wasn't going to vote for him anyway.

At any rate, I hope he nukes Iran, then Pakistan, then Somalia. Then China. Because I no longer care what happens to the failed experiment known as "the human race."

Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile all told SpaceX "NO" when it asked to use their networks. SpaceX is building its own:

This deal with Grain Management secures 546 paired licenses covering ~100% of the U.S. population, on 800 MHz low band that penetrates straight through walls and already works with almost every smartphone.

Once it closes, SpaceX will hold up to 89 MHz of spectrum in every market it touches.

Elon Musk: "This is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America."

More disqualifying is gaveling in a pro forma session to prevent Trump from getting recess appointments -- and that appears to be all of the Republican junior Senators, since they rotated it around. But each one, when up for re-election, should get a primary challenger, and should be repeatedly challenged by conservative media to justify their cowardly betrayal of Republican voters' priorities.

At the risk of angering the entire herd, I will offer my pet theory on the recent electoral results.
Young adults are terrified of the Republican party obstructing their sexual promiscuity. The position that a fertilized (one cell) ovum should have personhood rights terrifies them and drives them to the Democrat party. That position would IIRC prohibit the IUD as well as the “morning after pill”.
I suggest reviewing the thoughts of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Acquinas on the topic of “delayed ensoulment”.
Failure to address this issue will prevent Republicans from ever winning a nationwide election again.

Squirrel buries his nut in the fur of a Bernese mountain dog.

Dog who waited six years for a home can't stop smiling.

Darn, I forgot to link this classic for Halloween.

In an update to a Halloween post, the yard decoration of a red-haired girl levitating spookily over a yard -- apparently a character in Stranger Things -- has been taken down due to a neighbor's complaint.

He wasn't just a Grinch. The neat Levitating Girl display drew lots of crowds of strangers to the neighborhood, and he feared the crowds were providing criminals and home invaders with an excuse to go into the neighborhood and case houses.

I don't know -- is that a good enough reason to ask that it be taken down?

Either way, this is what happens when a society decides it no longer wants the law and order of a high-trust society and instead wants the disorder, danger, and fear of a low-trust society.

Dogs come running when they hear the sounds of treats or keys.



Some dogs are guardians and warriors.

Others... lied to get the job.



These dogs, on the other hand, believe that you never leave a dog behind.

Well, Teddy's got a lizard. That lizard sat in the hallway playing dead for an hour and I tried to sweep him out the door. He was within inches of freedom, then he panicked and bolted for god-knows-where.

Another interesting thing Vera Rubin is looking for is the dreaded "Planet X", another big planet way out there. Current models have it about 5 earth masses, and roughly 300AU distance, orbital period about 7400 years, eccentric and about 16 degrees inclination.

Rubin has about an 80% chance of seeing it the first two years of operation if it exists. They may already found something, but haven't announced it yet. They'll want to go over years and years of archival data before they'd even think of announcing something this big.

While I'd love for Planet X to exist, OTOH, it would tickle me if it didn't. It's possible some of the observations that suggest it exists are just a coincidence, and if they are not, a very big massive ring of debris way out there could do it as well.

Mike Brown, the one who killed Pluto as a planet, and is damned proud of it, is big on this Planet X model predictions. He'd love to get credit for being the one who predicted it. And I've love for him to be dead wrong.

130 The GOP Senate is now beyond parody. Remember the "leadership" wasn't re-selected by Chy-nah, no electronic hacking of votes, no non-citizens voting. That's your Senate GOP ladies and gents.

The GOP long ago decided to out-wait Trump, run out the clock. Mission accomplished. The voters dutifully returned these (mostly) idiotic losers throughout.

Much good can/will still be accomplished by the executive alone in 2 years. All of it (well, most of it) reversible within 24 hours if a Dem is in the WH next time. I can see the giddy coverage contractors cutting huge gaps in the border barrier, ecstatic coverage of deportees re-united with family (also illegal, still here) already.

And exoplanets continue to surprise and confound. TOI-561 b turns out to have a atmosphere. This planet is a superearth, about 2 earth masses. What's remarkable is it orbits its star very close, just 0.01 AU, with an orbital period of 10 hours. The star is a G9 class, a little less massive than the sun, still G class but almost K, so yellowish-orange.

It's so close they figured it couldn't possibly have an atmosphere, but it does. It's likely a lava ocean world, temperature around 3000F on the permanent day side, and a nice 1500F on the night side.

Some recent JWST observations have determined it has a high albedo, and a thick atmosphere, which confounds the models.

184 130 The GOP Senate is now beyond parody. Remember the "leadership" wasn't re-selected by Chy-nah, no electronic hacking of votes, no non-citizens voting. That's your Senate GOP ladies and gents.

The GOP long ago decided to out-wait Trump, run out the clock. Mission accomplished. The voters dutifully returned these (mostly) idiotic losers throughout.

Much good can/will still be accomplished by the executive alone in 2 years. All of it (well, most of it) reversible within 24 hours if a Dem is in the WH next time. I can see the giddy coverage contractors cutting huge gaps in the border barrier, ecstatic coverage of deportees re-united with family (also illegal, still here) already.

DHS announces another round of dangerous illegal criminals arrested.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had apprehended an array of criminal illegal aliens with prior convictions for murder, sexual assault, and drug trafficking.

The announcement comes as part of the DHS's "Worst of the Worst" initiative, which aims to spotlight the criminal illegal aliens with the worst criminal records and showcase the danger presented by their presence in American communities.

"Under President Trump, there will be no amnesty for illegal aliens, including in sanctuary cities which put illegal aliens over their own citizens. Just yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, sexual predators, and drug traffickers," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement. "We will continue to carry out the American people's mandate to arrest and deport illegal aliens from our nation."

With Trump's second term nearly two years in, federal agencies have deported roughly one million people through convention methods, though agencies have claimed at least 2 million more through voluntary exits. Direct arrests and enforcement efforts have prioritized those with criminal records.

DANGEROUS ILLEGAL MISSING

Shageldi Bashimov, an illegal alien from Turkmenistan convicted of aggravated battery, was RELEASED from an Illinois prison despite having an ICE detainer.

Bashimov is now wanted by authorities.

This is the Democrats' plan for the country: Free foreign criminals who terrorize Americans.

The House Oversight Committee released its final report on Jeffrey Epstein.

Surprise, Trump was not involved with the guy he called the cops on.


Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released the final report Tuesday on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and the federal government's handling of the criminal case against the late financier.

The report is critical of how Democrats on the committee were "obsessed with trying to implicate President Trump and insinuate that he was involved in the crimes of Epstein and Maxwell." Despite these efforts, according to the report, the report did not find any evidence implicating Trump in Epstein's crimes.

The report wraps up a 15-month investigation, which included 19 transcribed interviews and depositions with key witnesses, the release of documents from the Department of Justice and the Epstein estate, and an extensive review of financial records.

...

The report provides details on how Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in 2019, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who us serving time in connection with recruiting young women for Epstein, had a network that facilitated the recruitment and control of young women who were abused, as well as how Epstein cultivated relationships with powerful individuals that were leveraged to establish financial and social legitimacy.

Stop me if you heard this one before: a Democrat politician lies about his service history and claims Stolen Valor for votes.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat who won re-election on Nov. 3, reportedly lied about his military service, claiming he saw combat when he did not.

In his 2015 book, "The Work," Moore claimed that he went through months of pre-deployment training with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, but Fox Baltimore reported that it found no Army records substantiating that claim. Moore has also claimed to have led troops in combat and to be a paratrooper, but neither are accurate representations of his military service, the outlet said.
His service was good, but he was not in combat, says former supervising officer

Retired Lt. Col. James A. "Jamie" Gottschling, the Army officer who supervised Moore, told Fox Baltimore that while Moore served honorably, he wasn't in combat.

"Be honest," Gottschling told the outlet when asked what he would say to Moore. "His service in Afghanistan was good. He was a valued member of the brigade staff." But he added, "It's disingenuous to say that you led paratroopers in combat or that you did what would be direct action activities in a combat zone."

Neither Moore nor Gottschling responded to inquiries from Just the News.

Moore said in his May 2022 victory speech, after first being elected governor in Maryland, that he had "led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan," The Hill reported at the time.

Gottschling was able to highlight Moore's actual daily activities in Afghanistan, which did not include combat or leading troops. The Lt. Col. told the outlet that Moore is airborne qualified, but did not train with the brigade before they deployed in 2005, nor did he conduct any training jumps. Moore arrived in Afghanistan on Aug. 15, nearly five months after the 1st Brigade of the storied 82nd Airborne Division had deployed.

"He's not a paratrooper," Gottschling told the outlet.

Instead, Moore said Gottschling's daily work included analyzing reports from infantry battalions and reconstruction teams, coordinating civilian assistance, and training Afghan officials how to communicate with the public, Fox Baltimore reported.

"He did a really good job trying to train the Afghans how to kind of sell their own story," Gottschling said. Gottschling told the outlet that Moore was not part of the brigade's kinetic combat activities, but was involved in "information operations."

He called a hell of a game against a tough, tough opponent last night. That was a trial by fire and Brady passed with flying colors. I like the cut of his jib.

"Airborne Qualified" means he made it through the basic parachutist course, did his five jumps, and gets to wear the flying ice cream cone badge on his uniform.

To be on "Jump Status" and collect the extra danger pay associated with it you have to make a certain number of jumps per a certain time period.

A day of getting nothing done after being really great yesterday!

Then we had a hiccup of him not finding my mother's last will last night and a fubar of uncertainty. All is well as we figured it out (he was afraid he was still executor). We don't think he is except for my father's trust.

My father's trust is for reasons unknown separte from hers and I am waiting for the demented wife of my brother to mess with me after the funeral someday.

Plus the weird family showing up that will force me and one son into a restroom to try to stifle inappropriate laughter and probably trumpet or snorting suppressed laughter. The tears will fit in, I guess.

Qualified airborne = went to the school and passed all requirements.

Mike Johnson Takes Accountability and Steps Down from House Leadership; Jim Jordan Elected to Replace Him

Mike Johnson did what McConnell's protege and butt-boy John Thune refuses to do: He stepped down from leadership.

Jim Jordan was elected in his place.

I'm not thrilled about that either, but at least someone demonstrated some accountability.

House Republicans on Tuesday selected Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to lead Republican lawmakers in the minority in the next Congress.

Members of the conference chose between him and Majority Leader Steve Scalise.

The vote was 106 for Jordan and 73 for Scalise, according to Punchbowl News.

House Speaker Mike Johnson decided to step down from leadership after the party's loss in the midterms.

In an update: One of the world's richest communists, the pro-rape Venture Socialist Bernie Sanders, declares that Schumer must go.

First thing I've agreed with him on in years.

Overton
@Overton_News

And...here...we...go.

This is going to be a bloodbath between the socialists and the establishment within the Democrat Party.

85-year-old socialist Bernie Sanders just publicly came out AGAINST reelecting Chuck Schumer as Senate Democratic Leader in the next Congress.

SANDERS: "I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years. And I like Chuck. Nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer."

"But in my view, the time is now for change."

"And I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader."



The CIA Karen who wants to prosecute Trump officials to scare young people from joining the conservative movement is also a "no" on Schumer:



For his part, Schumer is trying to show what a Big Tough Nebbish he is.

15 I get everyone feeling let down by Congress, but I firmly believe this was like 1% of the problem on Election Night.

The reality is, we had a bare majority and the usual RINOs in the Senate killed everything.

Even if the SAVE act had passed, same exact result. And the BBB was a lot of bills into one.

Im just curious, what specific law should have been passed that would have changed things?

They’re Democrats. Which means they all vote the same and in lock step with what the Soros donors tell them to do.

Majority leader is just an honorary title for them.

He's sharp, nothing but business, focused, and hammers the left on a regular basis.

Jordan is much more soft, but he's better than nothing, I guess, and he gets along with Trump the vast majority of the time, so that's a plus..

I'm not sure this is going to end the way Dems are used to. I think a hostile takeover is more than possible.

But the international cash dams are now busted open. I think it's also possible that some of these Dem Oldies will insist on 10 times their usual bribe money, stocks in whatever companies and industries get chosen as the next money laundering scams, prominent positions on boards of those companies for their children and grandchildren, book deals, tv shows... all the ways these folks have been getting paid off in plain sight, and nobody realized it. They're old, and getting tired. It's hard to give up power, but lots of money and a few subtle threats on your life can be very persuasive.

Making a guy building up a list of people who need to die feel bad about himself, well, that's just mean.

Every election going forward needs to be treated as a maximal ELE election.

The issue is early voting. It should be a laser focus to get Republicans voting early. That is goal number 1 above anything else. This is where the Dems kicked out asses. In Texas the election was over before Election Day happened. Get early votes on par with Dems and we’ve solved 3/4 of the problem.

142 Pete's briefing was very good. Pithy direct approach on all key points. Just a tiny bit of the SOP distorted diss of previous administrations on Iran. Hegseth was a perfect hire and seems to me the agenda is also spot on: transforming the services back to what they're meant to be. Bureaucracy, general officer/contractor revolving door rice bowl, procurement problems also there of course. But personnel quality, mindset, and recruitment/retention the priority, and on those it's all home runs since the outset.

The old 1968 zombies in the Dem party are on their way out, being supplanted just as they kicked out those before them. The question is whether the cheating apparatus and funding will remain in their control. I think it will.

Over in muslim-land, they likely know they aren't going to pull off a sweep as quick as they did in europe, so they just have to keep the pressure up and be the squeakiest wheel aomthe proga keep pandering to them until later demographics finishes the issue. Parts of NA are lost to them until they are literally kicked out. You will find no examples - none, not one - of muslim populations being compatible long term with what we consider civilization.

153 gp I haven't studied to find solid data but I think GOP turnout was "normal" for the context. Dem turnout was historically anomalously huge, wonder how many sigmas over the norm? Vance claims Trump 2024 switching was a factor, doubt it was much. His hot take was based on talking to Mark Mitchell, one of the pollsters whose issue-ignorance is so dramatic its comical. But predictable this would be the guy Vance takes his hot take from.

"It was so cool talking to some them, they said they regretted doing business with us the way they had for many years" (approximate Vance quote about Iran talks, not meant as parody, continuation of brick-stupid statements on foreign policy by him going back years).

You can't run on not starting new wars and then start (and fail to finish - nobody gave a shit about Maduro getting snatched) new wars and expect voters to turn out for you.

Trump's idealism that spurred him to run in the first place works against him here. Middle red america largely doesn't give a shit about blue shitholes getting a nuke or two, and the millenials and younger that got the shit end of the GWOT want nothing to do with the middle east and aren't keen on anything they perceive as sticking our neck out for Isreal.

This outcome was so predictable that I have to assume large parts of the pentagon enabled it on purpose.

173 AI Summary:

After Ace of Spades' refusal to step down from his position following the historic shellacking in the midterms, Thomas Massie led calls for Ace to be impeached by a coalition of Islamocommunist Democrats and Tuq'r Qatarlson Republicans and to face trial in the Senate.

Only eight GOP Senators called for a delay in the trial as John Thune rushed to push a vote.

However, before he could be detained by US Marshalls, Ace was extracted by a phase two Delta Force assault team led by Stephen Miller and he is expected to resume his activities from a server farm located on an Israeli submarine.

Zero. Over his 14 years in Congress, trackers including PolitiTrack, LegiList, and http://Congress.gov show Massie as primary sponsor of roughly 98–126 bills and resolutions, none of which became law. He has cosponsored measures that did (such as the Epstein Files Transparency Act) and seen some of his ideas incorporated into larger packages.

I'm just waiting with a case of popcorn for when the CA Supreme Court rules that rejecting a billionaire tax is unconstitutional, and the commie cocksucker CA billionaires start caterwauling about how much it costs for a tuneup on their Bentley.

If the CA GOP had any hair on their balls, they'd introduce 180% taxes on private jet ownership AND rentals. Not to mention, mandating that private jet passengers at CA airports have to go through public airport gates, complete with TSA screening by some 83 IQ Somali immigrant in a blue uniform.

196 106-73 for Jordan is not accountability; it is a caucus rewarding the member who never had to make an appropriations deal. Johnson was punished for the midterm outcome, not for a strategy, and Thune keeps the Senate job for the mirror reason: fewer plausible replacements, and everyone in the room knows it. If swapping leaders after a loss were accountability, something besides the name on the door would have changed.
The real fight inside the conference, message versus delivery, has two honest sides, and that argument is worth more than the jeering. I work on TheBareNews (thebarenews.ai), which publishes one shared factual account of each story and then two AI-written columns, Left and Right; it does no original reporting.

Jennifer Welch Bitches That She's Being "Cancelled" Just For Encouraging Assassinations and Murder

Whoops. I thought I posted this an hour ago.

Before that: Glenn Reynolds thinks about the Democrats' Assassination Culture.


Dave Chappelle joins the pack of lefty haters with a fetish for political violence


It's been heartwarming to see, once these contentious midterm elections were past us, how the Democrats rolled up their sleeves and got right to work on delivering the things they'd promised: affordability, equal opportunity and world peace.

Haha, just kidding.

Instead they immediately started seeking revenge.

...

For all their "Love Trumps Hate" sloganeering, what we've seen from leftists lately is pretty much all hate, aimed at anyone who counters their agenda -- not just Trump, but his supporters, staff and donors.

Comedian Dave Chapelle's ghoulish remarks about the murder of Charlie Kirk are typical.

...

Kirk paid the ultimate price for expressing conservative principles, and Chappelle is willing to approve that publicly -- to his audience's glee.

Meanwhile, NYU professor Scott Galloway last week damned Trump ally Elon Musk as a "traitor to the West" and called for his public execution, a la Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

If we're going to start executing traitors to the West, I've got a little list. . .

But Musk isn't on it, and Galloway might not like who is.

...

Sarah Palin was accused of murder for putting out a list of "targeted" congressional districts; Jeffries' comment is at least as much of a threat.

If I had to guess, the Venn diagram of people who would cheer if Trump were assassinated, and those whose lawns bear "Hate Has No Home Here" signs, is pretty close to a circle.

All this is unspeakably dangerous, of course.

You can't have a democracy without civil society, and you can't have a civil society in which one large chunk of it is salivating at the prospect of murdering the other.

But that's what we see today, with much of "mainstream" culture egging it on.

And it's not just that this language is ugly and divisive: Democrats are actively promoting violence with this heated rhetoric.

They are creating -- deliberately, I think -- a climate in which unstable people are encouraged to commit acts of violence against their political enemies, without leaving obvious fingerprints.

On Friday, when an armed-to-the-teeth Venezuelan migrant was arrested near the White House saying he'd been "hearing voices telling him to kill President Trump," my first thought was: "Were those voices on MS-NOW, Bluesky, or on Jennifer Welch's podcast?"

Welch, who calls for speakers she disapproves of to be M U R D E R E D, is whining that she's being "cancelled" for dancing right up to the edge of a serious crime.

Thirty of her sponsors have announced they will no longer associate with this bloodthirsty botox-drunk witch

Libs of TikTok
@libsoftiktok

UPDATE: 30 companies have now confirmed they will not advertise on the "I've had it" podcast after hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan laughed at Charlie's m*rder:

Cash App

Boll & Branch
Zenni Optical
Momentous

Crone Jennifer Welch has reportedly lost $7.6 million for cackling on air at Charlie's murder. That is a good start.

Here are the phone numbers of her two remaining advertisers:
* Article: 1-888-746-3455
* Quince: 1-888-618-9322

Note that the post of above says that Quince (whatever that is) already said they would no longer sponsor this skeleton-faced madwoman's show.

Western Lensman
@WesternLensman

Jennifer Welch says her advertisers were "harassed" into dropping the show.

"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."

Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.

They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.

Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.

At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.

It's not because they were harassed. It's because these women are toxic.

But hey if you're a little company, just drop these hateful hags a message bashing Charlie. Maybe that'll get you a free ad read.

42 Dems: "When they go low ...."

Even if this is somehow related to Hinchcliffe--and I deplore Kill Tony, in general--it's not like he's some spokesperson for the right.

I think, if it is related, it's because Hinchcliffe was white . And this would be another contextless example of "I bet the reaction would be different if the person was white!"

It is unintentionally more ironic that Floyd committed crimes and the white example target didn't.

Additionally, an intensifier to that point, Chappelle fails to understand the difference, because he can't see the difference between law-breaker and not law-breaker over the perception of "racism".

44 Jennifer Welch Bitches That She's Being "Cancelled" Just For Encouraging Assassinations and Murder

Jennifer's crime was revealing how critical the Powers That Be saw Charlie Kirk's ministry on college campus as a threat to their color revolution.

It was the talk of Leftist circles that Charlie Kirk needed to be eliminated because he was too effective. It was so important that it is burned into her stupid smooth brain and the complete lack of any filter on the circuit between the dysfunctional amygdala and her mouth let it blurt out.

51 For all their "Love Trumps Hate" sloganeering, what we've seen from leftists lately is pretty much all hate, aimed at anyone who counters their agenda -- not just Trump, but his supporters, staff and donors.

Comedian Dave Chapelle's ghoulish remarks about the murder of Charlie Kirk are typical.

And we can also never forget the "NoH8" campaign back in the late 2000s a Democrat op featuring such dignitaries as Cindy and Meghan McCain.

I guess the only thing you are allowed to hate is straight white men and Republicans, and occasionally Karens or white women in general.

Everything else from totalitarian ideologies & religions, to sexual acts & identities that repulse the majority of people, are off limits to any feelings of ill-will whatsoever.

101 Back in the old days it was common practice for periodicals to have an artist draw a wildly exaggerated face of political actors for the cover. The BBC's Yes, Minister did as well and is almost perfect in grotesque stylism.

That is Jennifer Welch's face without any manipulation at all. Generally, I don't make fun of people's appearance. You can't always help that. But this witch is so innately horrid that I think her soul is directly expressed by that face. It would make an artist's job for those periodicals trivial. Just take a photo.

That was enough. People stopped going to their concerts and buying their stuff.

That's enough. That's your money. You can choose to do what you want with it.

I would say to anybody I knew that felt they could go on with Chappelle: If you knew your Locke, and fundamental theory by which the West developed the concept of every right you want to claim, you would know that a right to continue living is the *basis* of every right you want to claim.

Plus, you'd know that Locke leveraged that to the extent that it was received into the conversation off the prohibition in the Bible to dispose of yourself.

I person giving aid to a faction that want's to end people for what they say is post-civil-contract. They can't possibly demand to claw back into that system and ask for "rights" when they don't recognize the basis of them--the social convention by which they were accepted and established.

110 The left has paid no price for their assassinations so why would they stop?

Yes a street level thugs are dead or facing prison but the left has tens of thousands of those people and they aren't very valuable. Trading one, or hell hundreds, for a Kirk or a Trump is well worth it.

I am amazed that even in the Trump cases he has taken a hands off approach and let the DOJ handle them incompetently as regular criminal cases.

They didn't role up the networks that gave them material assistance.

And I guarantee you this, if we have a Dem president in 2028 and some rightwing guy takes a shot at zer, all of us will be having a discussion with the feds. And they will put you in jail for anything you say that they can irrespective of if it has anything to do with this theoritical shooter

154 The left wins through creating a constant sense of chaos when a Republican is in the oval office.

Usually it will work for them.
Not in Reagan's case because the economy was too good, and America felt like it was on the rise again after the Carter years.

Bush I got swallowed up by his own aloofness, an economy that hit a brief recession due to gas prices going up after Iraq invaded Kuwait. He never regained his footing and the Dems, with help from their pre-internet media allies, made it seem like we were in the Great Depression II.

Bush II got a free pass for almost four years because of 9/11.
The Dems caused as much chaos and consternation as they could but the American People were too patriotic still to let it get to them. W. failed by the end when the 2008 Financial Crisis hit, and he had given up and the country was worn down by years of war, and the people were tired of him, too.

Trump has never had a moment of peace from the day he took the oath. It's been an all out frontal assault ever since.
Trump has made his share of mistakes, but the Dem&Media combination is still a powerful force at creating chaos.

How we counter that is beyond my pay grade at this point.

You just won't be allowed to say what fascism was. There was no general theory, ala Gentile. It is just the elements of Italy, the Nazis, maybe Franco, and definitely, definitely, stuff the Right-wing does.

186 I have seen people alking about Panama as en excellent place to retire to, as they have a program similar to El Salvador's with visas for people bringing in a guaranteed pension or enough assets/income to qualify, which isn't much.

The Panamanians use the U.S. dollar so banking is easier, a lot speak English, and the political situation has been a lot more stable than El Salvador for decades.

I like Bukele but if I'd be considering Panama, too.

That's been going on for a LONG time. Not just in the Partys either. A good example is that yootoob former CIA fuckstick John Kiriakou, who started off in Gov HR after grad school and was immediately groomed and recruited to be a cubicle squirrel at Langley, not to mention a lot of time as a legislative aide to various Donkey commie cocksuckers.

Funny thing is, EVERY Donkey politician he latched onto for career advancement fucked him over, especially John Kerry, Obama and Bill Richardson. Frau Gruppencankles treated him like a janitor when he was an intel officer in Greece, which I found to be hilarious.

Only Eight GOP Senators Have Called for a Delay In Senate Leadership Elections as John Thune Rushes to Push a Re-Election Vote;
Charles Schumer Might Be Purged by the Islamocommunists He Supported

John Thune and his cronies want to rush the election of the next Senate leaders and hold a vote today.

Eight GOP senators have called for a delay to figure out if they need "new faces," given the big loss.

But it takes a majority of GOP senators to vote for a delay.

Senator Ron Johnson says if they hold the vote today, he'll walk out.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pledged to walk out of the room if his Republican colleagues proceed with leadership elections on Tuesday, after calling a conference to discuss the party's direction following significant losses for the GOP in the midterm elections.

"If you hold the election, I'll leave the room," he told the Washington Examiner in a Monday interview. "I'm not going to participate in elections for leadership tomorrow."

To delay internal elections, which are cast by secret ballot, Johnson will need support from a majority of the Senate GOP conference.

The Wisconsin Republican has been floated as a potential replacement for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) for when Democrats take control of the Senate in January, as some conservatives air frustration with Thune's leadership.

Johnson, who has denied his interest in leadership in the past, again shot down the prospect on Monday, but he did not definitively rule it out.

...

The senator added that his request for a conference meeting was not a "hostile act" and was only intended to give the GOP the time to assess whether they wanted a change in leadership.

"We all like John Thune. We like him, OK?" Johnson said. "I don't want to say anything bad about him, but again, at some point in time, our supporters absolutely believe we have to hold people accountable, and probably are looking for a new face, or new faces."

GOP senators met today and did not agree on either holding or delaying the election.


Senate Republicans met Tuesday to discuss their future and were expected to reconvene in the afternoon as they decide whether to keep South Dakota Sen. John Thune as their leader. The meetings come just a week after steep losses in the midterm elections that cost them their majority.

Thune is expected to be reelected in the secret ballot election, given that he remains popular with his GOP colleagues and is so far running unopposed. But senators left the closed-door meeting after two hours of discussions with no resolution on a way forward after an election wipeout that cost them at least seven Senate seats.

"We want to be thoughtful and do the right thing," said West Virginia Sen. Jim Justice as the meeting broke up. He said no obvious alternative had emerged, but "there is a legitimate argument that, good gracious, if we lost as badly as we lost, why would we continue on with the same leadership?"

At the same time, the current GOP leadership "didn't cause this problem to happen," Justice said. "They do a good job."

Did they?

The Washington Times writes that Chuck Schumer might lose his own post as Democrat leader as the Islamocommunists want a more radical -- and, let me add, less Jewish -- leader.


In a way, it is poetic justice. The newly elected hard-left Democrats whom Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York nurtured and fed now want his blood.

Several of the Democrats elected this year to the Senate, such as Troy Jackson of Maine, Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan, Adam Hamilton of Kansas and James Talarico of Texas, have announced that they will not support Mr. Schumer for majority leader when the new Congress convenes next year.

Veteran Democrats -- such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Christopher Murphy of Connecticut and Tina Smith of Minnesota -- have voiced frustration with Mr. Schumer's candidate recruitment and leadership in legislative battles.

Once the militants won their primaries, Mr. Schumer did everything he could to support them, including providing significant funding through his Senate Majority PAC.

Mr. Schumer's PAC gave $30 million to Mr. El-Sayed, despite the Michigander's hatred of Israel. Mr. El-Sayed will not even say whether he believes Israel has a right to exist, while the Palestinian cause is dear to his heart. That did not seem to present a problem for Mr. Schumer, who is Jewish.

When a Muslim terrorist attacked a synagogue that housed a kindergarten, preschool and daycare in West Bloomfield, Michigan, on March 12, while condemning the attack, Mr. El-Sayed said, "Hurt people hurt people." This would seem to rationalize the attack on children by a man whose brother Ibrahim, identified by Israel as a Hezbollah commander, was killed in Lebanon.

...

Though a liberal, Mr. Schumer is not liberal enough for members of the Democratic Senate class of 2026. They want a minority leader in their own image -- not one who is merely skeptical of Israeli policies, but one who is rabidly anti-Israel; not one who seeks to reform the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, but one who wishes to "rip it apart," in the words of Sen.-elect Peggy Flanagan of Minnesota.

...

Even if Mr. Schumer somehow survives the purge, he will be constantly looking over his shoulder to see how close the wolves are and what he needs to do to appease them next.

24 I think Democrats figure that with whatever election ripoff they just ran it really doesn’t matter what they do or say. They don’t care about the voters. They care about the machine doing the counting.

Even if you look at what happened in Texas alone, there are very weird algorithmic similarities across the vote and what happened in general is a statistical anomaly.

51 "Thune is expected to be reelected in the secret ballot election, given that he remains popular with his GOP colleagues and is so far running unopposed."

Cornyn would still have been the nominee from TX if he did as Paxton asked and supported the SAVE Act. Cornyn refused to do so. Thune kept the Senate in session every day of Trump 2.0 just so they didn't have to deal with a Trump recess appointment. Thune owed his very position as Majority Leader to Trump, who delivered big victories for the House and Senate, yet only two days after ED 2024 he said that he wasn't beholden to Trump and would exercise his independence from him whenever possible - even though Trump was very clear on what his mandate from the people was.

If he remains well-liked among his Senate colleagues, clearly enough of the GOPe hasn't been swept from that chamber. I'm not sure I trust any of them, TBH. A doorknob would do a better job as Leader. If nobody's stepping up, that means they all like the job that Thune's doing. It just so happens that's not the job the base is hiring them to do.

I'm not a fan of Thune, but I'm sure he can gum up the Dem works , which might be the key to the next two years

111 Best case scenario: Thune goes, Schumer stays. We get a strong (relatively speaking) GOP leader while the Dems have a Schumer constantly worried for his position as leader. This also carries the possibility of Thune resigning his seat and being replaced by someone better.
Worst case scenario: Thune stays, Schumer goes. The Dems are led by a radical while the GOP is led by a spineless cuck more than willing to collaborate with them to spite his voters.

One third to one half of their days as senator are vacation days. Over 100 days. That Thune will be a cowered and run away, instead of fighting the noble fight, is beyond repellant. You failed, dude, step down. Let someone with actual balls run things.

To be fair, the founding fathers set it up that way, but that's because they were men of actual integrity. They saw being in congress as a sacred duty to building a new nation, a sacrifice, and then during their leave time went back to doing their ACTUAL jobs, being a farmer or lawyer or merchant or whatever.

If they saw this sack of lazy pustules, that take outrageous salaries for zero work, and feel entitled to the job for life, they would throw them into the Boston harbor instead of the tea.

171 Well, he's not really evil like Hesgeth.

Muslim educator allowed to return to NY school after being charged with murdering female jogger

"A maniac ex-cop was arrested Saturday in the brutal murder of a young woman jogging along a Brooklyn footpath last week — and he claimed he woke up covered in blood with no memory of the heartless stabbing, police sources told The Post.

Sayed Mohassib, 27 — who currently works as an elementary school educator in Brooklyn despite being discharged from the Marines for psychological reasons — was charged with second-degree murder in the Oct. 30 slaying of Katie Suarez, police sources said.
. . . .
"Mohassib told cops during his grilling at the 62nd Precinct stationhouse Saturday that he woke up from a blackout covered in blood and with the murder weapon.

"He said he ditched the knife in the garbage, and cops believe the trash was taken to a Staten Island landfill before ending up at a New Jersey dump."

172 102 I think my take on Thune is a bit different. Pretty much the entire Republican Senate is useless and clueless. Thune has shown he can lead the useless sacks of crap when it suits him ie Big Beautiful Bill, tax cuts etc. Since no one else is stepping up might as well go with him. I'm not a fan of Thune, but I'm sure he can gum up the Dem works , which might be the key to the next two years

If Scott wants to stay the R Senator from FL, it should be him...lots of folks lined up to take his job if he lets Thune stay without at least putting up a fight for leadership...

Same for Cruz - a lot of Rs are now out in TX, and would be happy to try to take Cruz out of his seat next time (b/c he's not that popular in TX anyway)...

Thune said he didn't have the votes for the Save Act. Perhaps he didn't, but that was the most important priority during his tenure. Even if he didn't have the votes, he should have had a vote on it so we knew he was at least trying, and who the people responsible for torpedoing it were.

As it is the ML’s use that power to gain cooperation or obedience.

The only reason Glitch McConnell was ML for so long is that he used the campaign fund as a bullwhip to keep people in line. That worked until he was so old & feeble that he became a liabilty.

And now we have basic carbon copy, nut younger, Thune who wants to be ML when he is Glitch’s age.

Don't think that's new. It's a FTM -- think Ellen Page -- that wants to appeal even more exotic and insane.

See, these ladies were always male, even though they were born 100% as females. So they "transitioned" not from female to male, but from male to male.

You wrote "gender". You mean "syndrome".

Gender, if they are anything close to what the theorists present, are long-term recognitions by society.

You can't just make up genders and say they are equal to categories society has found useful to categorize.

That's the ideology vs. practice part kicking in.

270 I actually got a gender prog to admit that almost everything they believed was a "social convention": Laws, rights, equal treatment, ...

"Of course, it's ALL social convention!"

Then I asked if it were okay if we just started messing with it to configure the way I wanted it to work.

Overall, they didn't get the point. But, specifically: No, it would not be okay to start just messing with social conventions based on the way I wanted them to work.

Again, she didn't get the point. She just knew she didn't want my version of a "social convention" that she had admitted was all that make up anything she wants to point out about society.

Logic, too, was an agreed "social convention", btw.

Ultimately, it's I'm going to throw a tantrum until things work the way I want.

275 At the very least, they need to get Tim Scott our of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). He, certainly, looks good on paper from the fundraising perspective (although you could make the argument that the money received was Trump related). Scott, however, absolutely sucked at applying that money (as did whomever else had their greedy little never-Trump mits on distribution).

I think the last count had Scott shelling out over $100 Million of that money in the primary to get Cornym re-elected in the primary. Then providing Paxton funds late in the Mid-terms while claiming to be assisting "in other ways." That sort of public display sends the wrong message to mid-term voters.

The more time you spend in back-and-forth, the more you can recognize the pattern of their "thinking".

It became obvious to me that "Social convention/not real so we can update it" suggested that "social convention" was a "social convention".

Had I not been involved in the discussion, I probably would have missed that killer corner.

"It's just POLITE!"

"Isn't etiquette defined by 'social conventions'--or even a 'social convention' in and of itself?"

Everything they want to link it to--denying transcendence of anything--is a "social convention".

Which in one sense that they use the word "not real" and up to change.

The NRSC should never be giving money for serious primary elections.

To protect a member who’s facing a challenge from a Dem pretending to be a Republican, maybe, but not for something like Cornyn vs. Paxton.

310 You either ground "gender" to the fact of sex (albeit marginally variable) or to the tradition of gender, or to a telos.

None of which the "we can add genders because social conventions are not real" people can establish.

Who created the "modifiable social convention" convention? Is that convention equally modifiable? Can it simply run on preference? A vote?

Tradition is actually an information system.

Novel innovations on social conventions will never equal the instrumentality--or just the know-what-the-fuck-you're-talking-about-ism--of long-developed convention.

The magic of "Social convention" is a non-starter. It's a red herring, when you don't actually engage in what a social convention actually is.

After all, if you are successful, and add 100+ genders to the "social convention of gender", how is that made any more real than were it was to begin with?

It's practice ignorance.

The Dems and the GOPe think Trump will be the last if his kind. That once he’s gone it’ll be back to Dem wins and GOP acting like they care.

What the left doesn’t realize is that if they keep it up, they are eventually going to get somebody less like Trump and more like Bukkele.

And to see the judges brought in line in America as his first duty is going to be a glorious day indeed.

334 275 At the very least, they need to get Tim Scott our of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). He, certainly, looks good on paper from the fundraising perspective (although you could make the argument that the money received was Trump related). Scott, however, absolutely sucked at applying that money (as did whomever else had their greedy little never-Trump mits on distribution).

I think the last count had Scott shelling out over $100 Million of that money in the primary to get Cornym re-elected in the primary. Then providing Paxton funds late in the Mid-terms while claiming to be assisting "in other ways." That sort of public display sends the wrong message to mid-term voters.
Posted by: Orson at November 10, 2026 03:23 PM (dIske)

That would be a big No Way on Tim Scott from me. He could have saved Trump 1.0 a lot of trouble if only he weighed in on that Charlottesville smear on Trump early on, rather than standing by like Saul holding the cloaks while Stephen was getting stoned. Trump spent a lot of his capital promoting Scott's crime bill, and Timmy never repaid Trump for the favor.

Like I said, no way.

359 Atheism is not a "faith".

But atheists themselves suggest that Marxist can be "religious". Thus whether or not there is a common "faith" among atheists is independent of whether or not atheism itself comprises a faith.

In case people aren't familiar with quantified analysis. That means that atheism may be neither a sufficient or necessary condition for faith, but it may still contribute to the Rationalist faith.

Marxism is simply subsumed under a Rationalist faith. Absent the "superstition" of traditional religion, we can figure out the pattern of history, so as to get from history more of what we want and less of what we have disapproved of.

Historical progression can be made into it's own Science.

No wonder that people adopting the Rational Faith--or what Robespierre entitled "Cult(Fr. culture) of Reason"--counterfeit a "Scientific worldview", which simply leaves out the key to Science.

Not "Nature" but parsimony. "Nature" is a cipher, the set of things that occur in Nature change.

But Science is a methodology and parsimony is a practice.

"Science" is unfit as a "worldview". It is a discipline.

412 The more atheists practice "Really understanding things" for the pitiful gulled traditional, and "really improving things" (because they do not contain the stain of "irrationality" (as they define it)), to the extent that they are not rigorously defining and tracking "improvement" and simply subsuming it under an expectation of themselves as "more rational" that is the extent to the Faith off Atheists is practiced.

It's taken me decades to synthesize this, so the expectation that the average theist observing this widespread aspiration among atheists would get the technical definition right in order to be considered, is just a widening of the blind spot atheists do not believe they have.

And not because they have it or don't have it--because they don't believe they have it.

So, like everything the burden shifts to YOU. And if you ignore the de facto stance that atheism is not specifically a religion, than characterizing any common trend among atheists as "religion" just goes to show how reactive you are.

And they don't have to consider any feedback, because you're not perfect in the point, and did not surmount the burden they always upon another.

Obama-Connected Democrat Operative Van Jones Smiles as He Admits the "Affordability" Op Was, In Pure Obama Fashion, an Organized Astroturf Campaign

An Obama simp?

Running an astroturf operation? With Concerned Christian Conservatives fretting about whatever the Democrats' Fake Issue of the Day is?

Where have I heard this before?


Jones admitted that the economy really isn't as bad as portrayed, and that the Democrats knew this (surprise!), but rather than simply program their candidates and campaigns with duplicitous messaging, they took it several steps further. And the Republicans never figured it out.

Jones told Collins how the Democrats discreetly organized tens of thousands of people to serve as chartered trolls as part of the "American Accountability Network." Jones did not make clear whether these people were compensated or not.

I'm pretty sure they were.

"The Republicans never figured out what we were doing," Jones said in-studio to a smiling Collins. "There's something called the American Accountability Network (AAN), tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message online. 32.5 million people hit on Instagram every day. 88.8 million hit on Twitter, X, every single day. And 185 million Facebook hits every single day. And they never figured it out."

"The Republicans could not understand it wasn't bots. It was actual human beings," he said.

They are bots. Human-shaped bots.

Tim O'Brien adds:

He added that Democrats were having trouble getting any "traction" on culture war issues, but thanks to the AAN, the left "figured out how to get around all that."

Witch-faced shill Kaitlin Collins had no negative commentary on an admitted massive disinformation campaign, but instead was "fascinated."

Collins found all of this "fascinating." Of course, it's fascinating when Democrats do it, but if Republicans did it, it would be criminal to Collins and her ilk.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar

---
Are people getting so stupid that they do not know what an "ideology" is?

An "ideology" is "Hey! I have a Great Idea which should overwrite everything other people were taking to have worked reasonably well in the past!"

It very seldom pays off over a reasonably tuned practice of that office.

"Hey! Maybe the Department of War ought to be more focused on readiness" is the ANTITHESIS of ideology.

It's fucking Common Sense (however common that is.)

55 I saw an interesting exchange. Someone argued "If Democrats could lower costs of living then every blue city in America would already be affordable"

The leftist responses?

1) They are in fact more affordable! Why as long as I split rent with 4 other guys I have a home and food!

2) They are in fact more affordable! My no show NGO job pays enough so that my life partner and I can buy anything we wants!

3) Of course cities are unaffordable unlike the burbs...because of Trump/capitalism/Republicans/rich people (which I guess aren't in the burbs/rural areas?)

4) Of course cities are unaffordable because taxes aren't high enough

And yes as per usual the people with these largely oppositional theories all agreed with each other.

Guess what else they did with millions of people they recruited this past election? Voted.

Sure, some people voted on issues just as always. Trump voters turned out, the numbers prove it. Democrats spent a year recruiting new voters, the numbers show that as well. And that was the wave.

Too many people are still obsessing over whether it was Iran or the price of eggs or super mean ICE. It was NGOs spending a billion dollars to find new voters under very lax registration rules.

Most likely in India, at that.

If the WH is dumb enough to try and run with amnesty, I think I am just legit done with the party entirely. Even the muddled stuff coming out is risking mass defections. If this is some Dem op they need to get on top of it.

Everyone knows there is no such thing as "yeah we will close the border but do amnesty". Bullshit. Keep kicking them out or go down swinging in the attempt, because we can't take 15, 20, 25 million more and possibly can't even keep it together with what Biden let in.

66 I have been saying since June there is an extremely devious psy op happening, perhaps as evil and twisted as COVID. It was obvious when the DSA "appeared" put of thin air to magically solve every problem the DNC had claimed it had while somehow still being it's mortal enemy.

I thought Trump might be able to deal with it in the public square as he has beaten them back before. Unfortunately whatever operation I saw and detailed repeatedly here, has landed on us quicker and perhaps even more thoroughly than I had feared. I thought it was battlespace prep for 2028 and in a way, it was.

All I'm saying is what I've been saying but maybe a little more urgently. Things are about to get WEIRD. Whatever you think you know about our politics and our system and likely our culture is gonna get turned on its head, probably not in a way you have ever experienced.

Gird, prepare, fight, and most of all ffs, just see it for what it is.

67 I don't know if I can blame the Republicans for all of this..

There is a point when Americans might be too Dumb to think for themselves because the iPhone told them everything SUCKS but, I am doing quite well under the Trump Economy ...

They used to call TV "THE BOOB TUBE" and I do not mean Pam Anderson's Baywatch Hooters !!!

It appears that Americans minds are like a Floppy Disk that can be erased and used over and over again with new Bogus Info and the system (Brain) believes the data without really analyzing the data.

68 The People wanted "affordability!"

Democrats: Ha! You fucked up! You trusted us!

Every hard leftwing forum I've gone to as the same general story:

Affordability is going to get worse because of course you can't solve the problem in 2 years, also we don't care about affordability because we need to get Trump first. Then we can jack up taxes and ban fossil fuels which is obviously what people voted for

71 I knew this was "Who's saying the word 'Affordability' more?!"

It's like when Walter Mondale started using the word 'Future' to catch up to Reagan, because when they polled Reagan's popularity among the young, it came back "He talks about the Future."

He came from the Carter "Our best days may be behind us" administration.

"Messaging" that's what the Democrats call it.

That's their goal.

74 Glenn Beck is many things, but I'm glad he was instrumental in getting a scalp, and getting Van Jones out of Obama's inner WH circle. I'm sure the WH team still consulted with Jones, but we the taxpayers were no longer paying his salary. I can't remember who took over the "Green Jobs Czar" gig after Jones was ousted. Someone just as horrible.

I looked it up, apparently Jones was ousted for calling Republicans "assholes." In our modern era were conservatives are all Nazis, that almost sounds quaint. It was probably just bad timing and optics at the time, to have the lightbringer, if-they-go-low-we-go-high aura have someone in his inner circle hurling insults.

The scary thing about Jones is he can be reasonable and rational. He's a true believer, but he is willing to call halt on the dem crazy train when it's going too fast over the cliff. He CAN read the room, when forced to.

So if I'm understanding the story, someone used AI to generate a sexy, half dressed image of an adult Mexican actress, the guy posting this then found and sent the picture to his wife and he's being arrested because the UK has some law against generating AI created sexy pictures of real people?

Everything is an op.

It's always this way.

They'll tell you Elon Musk is the Electric Jesus when it suits them, and that he's the White Satan when it suits them.

They'll tell you Donald Trump is a glamorous popular celebrity when he's donating to the Clintons, and that he's a racist old stumblebum when he runs against them.

They'll tell you Afghanistan is the good war when Obama's pulling out of Iraq, and it's a bad one when Biden is done with it next.

They'll tell you Joe Rogan is a smart truth-teller when he's going off about aliens and endorsing Bernie Sanders, but he's a dumb fuckin' meathead when he's going off about COVID and endorsing Donald Trump.

It's the same shit every day, and it depends on all of us believing the Current Year narrative.

Van Jones is intelligent. That's how I take him to be.

When he's peddling pap, he knows he's peddling pap. He's not confused. He admitted that Russiagate was a big "nothing burger" because he was not being paid by CNN to lie on air.

I'm guessing he calculated that it was only going out to O'Keefe's "echo chamber" and figured it would mostly die there.

99 Prices are likely to never come down. They skyrocketed after the Biden administration printed 2.5 trillion dollars for Build Back Better. 2.5 trillion is roughly 10 percent of all dollars ever printed in the history of country.

We won't see prices fall until we have significant GDP growth while simultaneously NOT printing more money.

Because that was an easier lift. Before Trump did much moderating, when he was fresh in the race, he mentioned that he chose Republican as his party because his research suggested that we were the most underserved.

He did nothing if not prove that threefold.

113 Politics is always the fight for winning over public opinion...if republicans are bad at this that's their own problem. They tend to have no balls and play the game like the emasculated honest simp, in an arena filled with opportunists who play to win, that doesn't work.

"It's your fault for not using foreign trolls to AstroTurf social media while we accuse of you foreign election interference literally every day." Is quite a take.

We learned it from watching you. The democrats mirrored the troll strategy Trump innovated , and they did it without targeting an out group like a race of gender.

LIE about affordability? How much is a tank of gas in St Petersburg, Boris? Trump started a fucking war with Iran that skyrocketed gas and diesel and slapped tariffs on everything coming into the country, and THAT made prices rise.

Well, there you go GOP. Get on it now before the Dims take power.

Follow that up with "growing concern" that the election was hacked and illegitimate.

152 People were taught to feel uneasy about Israel, Jewish influence, and Trump's war on Iran.
Then they were provided an acceptable outlet for their unease: complaining about affordability. Why is Trump spending "our" money abroad, instead of helping poor Americans at home?
It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma, which has no logical explanation (for the indoctrinated and for the victims of propaganda; otherwise it's pretty easy).
The discomfort caused by this idea cannot be mentioned in polite company, but affordability can be used as a byword for it.
Even if people feel guilty about this line of reasoning, the shame actually helps with the persuasion.
Leftists are doing a sort of mind rape and the victims are mostly too ashamed to admit it. Thus, they persuade themselves that it must be love.

I was asking if the recent stock market up was people trying to take advantage of the likely coming increases in inflation and it argued that inflation is going to come down because....Trump's tariffs will be restricted/removed and tariffs are inflationary because they raise the cost of products.

I pointed out taxes can't be inflationary be definition and pointed out a new tax on bread, for example, would raise the cost of bread but no one would call that inflation and it agreed but then argued tariffs were different then other taxes for...reasons.

So then I asked did inflation go up or down when Trump put in his tariffs. Down. So what does that do to your argument? Uh, well, uh...but tariffs are the only tax that is inflationary.

Posted by: Darrell Harris at November 10, 2026 01:57 PM (0KFnk)

202 Prices have gone down on a lot of stuff, and inflation has stabilized since before Trump was even elected. But its easy to convince people that they are being screwed over and even if they aren't suffering other people must be because of all the complaints.

All the videos of people on their latest I Phone in their new car clearly well fed with salon hair and painted nails whining that they cannot afford to east or pay rent were so bizarre: clearly none of that is true.

But the truth is, American people do not have the patience or willingness to fight that we used to. When Reagan reached his midterms, the economy still sucked, hard. In places like Oregon the unemployment and inflation rates were OVER 20%. But people were willing to give Reagan a shot and by 1984, he'd turned everything around.

I was shocked and said, “Wow, this money came straight from the bank!” She handed it back, and I gave her another $50 bill.

She marked it, looked at it, and said, “Yep, this one’s fake too. We might have to call the cops.”

I was like, “WOW! Both of my $50 bills are fake?” At this point, I looked closer. “Lady, you're using a Sharpie?”

She took a long look at the marker and said, “Yes, that's all I have.”

I feel like our society is doomed...

Now, the funny thing is if you follow through what would happen if he got this through is the CC companies would just stop offering cards to anyone with a low credit score (and probably people that pay them off every month too)

Which amusingly might not be a terrible thing. There are very, very few things you can justify buying if you have to put them on a CC...
Posted by: 18-1 at November 10, 2026 01:54 PM (sKqQm)
_________

It would be much better if CC rates were dependent on your individual credit score, like most other interest rates are.

But all CC rates are very high, even if you are at very low risk of not making the payment. Why? Because of all the deadbeats. The "good" cardholders are subsidizing the deadbeats.

My solution? I pay in full every month. I use the card for convenience and airline miles.

It’s also that they think a police force paid for by tax dollars is socialism. So when you say so and so running is a socialist they think well ok that just means he wants a well funded police force.

257 Inflation-adjusted (real) wages in the U.S. fell in 2026.

Headline Decline: From the year prior through September 2026, real average hourly earnings decreased by 0.7%, with real weekly earnings also slipping into negative territory.

Primary Driver: The decline was caused by headline inflation (3.7%) outpacing nominal wage growth (3.0–3.6%), largely due to a 34.2% surge in gasoline prices and a 20.4% rise in energy costs.

Core Inflation Exception: When excluding volatile food and energy prices, core inflation remained at approximately 2.6%, meaning wages actually grew faster than core prices during this period.

Historical Context: This marks the first time since April 2023 that inflation has consistently outpaced wage growth, erasing the real wage gains accumulated earlier in the year and reversing the positive trends seen in 2024 and early 2025. You may now continue.

262 Self-care and prevention

Limiting or avoiding alcohol and drugs.

Alcohol and drugs can decrease blood flow to the penis and interfere with messengers in the brain during arousal. Over time, alcohol consumption can reduce testosterone levels also.
Not smoking or using tobacco products.

Smoking can cause plaque to build up in arteries throughout the body. This can cause poor blood supply to the penis.
Controlling your blood sugar level if you have diabetes.

Elevated blood sugar levels cause nerve and blood vessel damage, which significantly affects the ability to achieve an erection.

Seeking help to cope with anxiety or depression.

Erectile dysfunction can result from depression, stress, anxiety or fatigue, so managing these conditions may reduce your erectile disfunction symptoms.

I love when folks give me more credit that I should have. if only someone paid me to do any of that...

I said all of this in May...Iran needed to end and gas/beef/electric prices needed to come down and a good news story per day needed to be widespread from the White House for the 250th (aka, the social media that Dems turned out)...we went 0-3 on doing anything I suggested. So, I guess I am a peon. Shucks.

But it would be something to get a midlife crisis and get picked up to do crazy stuff like the unrealistic TV shows/movies. I can be a good Mary Sue.

Nah, I chalk it up to the shift from Sense -> Sympathy.

This is a widespread migration. This is why you can't even say that Clancy is guilty of killing her children, because what if she was suffering and couldn't help it?

Not that the case is reasonable, but you have to consider emotional doubts as well.

Feminine "Sympathy" is killing reason-based law.

Everywhere.

Not that Male-administered law has always been an exercise in reason. Far from it. The Good-ol-boy network of the South definitely testifies to corruption of it.

But that was some form of pragmatics eclipsing the the impartial application of law.

It was not a replacement theory of "a reasonable doubt". Even as a syndrome, it was a corruption of an individual system. It was a crime committed under the guise of the basis of law.

Anti-American Operative Thomas Massie Demands Impeachment of Pete Hegseth; Pete Hegseth Blasts Him

Yesterday I worried when I saw that Pete Hegseth would be delivering an address today. I feared he would be announcing his withdrawal from the administration.

I guess he still might do that but it's more likely he was announcing his coming rebuttal of Thomas Massie's latest screed against him.


Massie's argument was that Pete Hegseth should be impeached for limiting lawyers' ability to veto operations or impose lethal restrictions on troops fighting for America.

A veteran of the Global War on Terror offered his own reaction to Thomas Massie's work on behalf of the Caliphate.



InfantryDort
@infantrydort

Nah man. I'm not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can't.

I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.

We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.

Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him.

His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that's not good.

GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could.

We were lectured for years about "courageous restraint." We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation.

And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand.

So spare me the sermon about how dangerous it is to remove lawyers who think their job is to become a veto point over command. Spare me the sudden reverence for process from people who watched Afghanistan collapse, watched thirteen Americans die at Abbey Gate, watched the Taliban retake Kabul, and somehow found no constitutional apocalypse worthy of impeachment then.

Now the outrage is that the machine is actually being used. That commanders are expected to command. And that enemies are being treated like.... actual enemies for once.

That civilian leadership is telling the bureaucracy to get the hell out of the way of lawful military action.

From where I sit, the betrayal isn't that Washington finally found some aggression for a change. The realest betrayal is that men like Massie still think the lesson of the GWOT was that we needed more hesitation.

No. WE NEEDED MORE VICTORY.

And I'm done pretending those are the same thing. We're all done with it. Massie is dead wrong here, he knows it, you know it, and I know it.

Sincerely,
-A seriously disgruntled GWOT vet who knows Hegseth is the cure to what ails our military here.

A former military lawyer notes that Massie continues whining that the US attacked narcoterrorists smuggling drugs to the US by boat without having a lawyer give them permission.

It's always, ALWAYS drugs with these fucking hippies.


- Article IV.

The basis for the next article is a claim that: "Secretary Hegseth willfully and systemically refused to comply with laws and directives mandated for the protection of civilians during the commission of armed conflict, chilled and rendered ineffective such components to prevent and mitigate harm to civilians, and therefore, foreseeably effected the death and injury of over 200 civilians [referring to the attack reportedly directed against an elementary school in Minab, Iran], to the manifest injury of the United States."

Tbh nearly every line of this article misrepresents various aspects of international AND domestic law in such an egregious manner that I'm tempted to do a deep-dive on just Article IV. Maybe there will be an opportunity to do so at some point in the future.

For now, I'll just focus on the core of this allegation: that SECWAR Hegseth failed to comply with legal "obligations" involving civilian harm mitigation & reduction (CHMR).

...


The MAIN point to address here is that Congress doesn't possess the constitutional authority to FORCE DoW to implement specific CHMR practices. Congress can appropriate funds for such practices (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 12). And Congress can "make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces" (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 14).

But POTUS is appointed as commander-in-chief of the military (Art. II, Sec. 2, Cl. 1). And practices related to civilian harm mitigation & reduction are strictly within the purview of CiC authority since they don't involve making rules for the armed forces (that authority is exercised by adopting the Uniform Code of Military Justice ... more about the UCMJ below).

...

- Article V.

The essential basis for the next allegation is: "Secretary Hegseth abused the authority and trust vested in him as Secretary of Defense not only by directing the unlawful use of lethal military force, resulting in the summary execution of at least 243 persons in international waters, but also by using his office to compel members of the Armed Forces to carry out such operations under false legal authorities that he caused to be constructed and imposed upon the chain of command."

This claim is centered on the campaign of attacks directed against suspected narcoterrorists in international waters.

...

The MAIN problem here (out of many) is the assertion that: "By subjecting persons merely suspected of criminal conduct to lethal military force without judicial process, without congressional authorization, and without establishing a lawful basis for treating such persons or vessels as military targets, Secretary Hegseth arrogated to himself and the Executive Branch the roles of judge, jury, and executioner and asserted a unilateral power to determine who may live and who may die."

Of course, the "without congressional authorization" element returns us to the analysis from the WPR articles involving the concurrent constitutional powers to "declare war" (Congress) AND engage in "hostilities" (POTUS).

Even so, the assertion that suspected narcoterrorists operating drug boats on the High Seas are MERELY "suspected of criminal conduct" is a gross misrepresentation of international law involving the resort to force (jus ad bellum) & domestic implementation thereof.

See, this article explicitly acknowledges that an interagency task force developed a classified memo that presented "a legal basis for such strikes" by determining that the "United States is engaged in a noninternational armed conflict (NIAC) with 24 Latin American Designated Terrorist Organizations."

Whether one disagrees with this determination or not, the EXECUTIVE BRANCH HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO. And when it DID determine the existence of a noninternational armed conflict against drug cartels, by definition the adversary was no longer merely "suspected of criminal conduct."

Yes, trafficking narcotics IS criminal conduct. But saying it is ONLY criminal conduct would be like claiming al-Qaeda operatives are "only" criminals since they're engaged in activity that is against the law.

A drug dealer at home is a criminal. A narcotics trafficker on the High Seas that ISN'T part of a group the government has determined to be an adversarial belligerent in a (noninternational) armed conflict is ALSO a criminal.

But a narcotrafficker on the High Seas that IS part of a group the government has determined to be an adversarial belligerent is a criminal AND a civilian taking direct part in hostilities (DPH).

And what do we do with civilians DPH? Sure, we can detain them - but we can ALSO make them the object of attack pursuant to LOAC. That's what DoW did, that's what SECWAR Hegseth directed, and none of it constitutes a "high Crime or Misdemeanor".

Massie is also crying that Trump "kidnapped" Maduro, who again is a federally indicted drug-trafficker and therefore is a being deserving of special protection by nasty drug-obsessed hippie douchebags.


Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley

I am reviewing the eight articles on the impeachment of Sec. Pete Hegseth. In my view, six of the eight articles should be nonstarters, including the Iranian articles. Presidents, including Clinton, Obama, and Biden, have asserted the authority to commence such operations...

...Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie said yesterday that he filed the articles because he wants to "litigate" the underlying war powers of Congress. I agree with Massie about the need for Congress to assert its constitutional authority over the declaration of war. However, Trump was acting within the authority long asserted by his predecessor. More importantly...

...Massie is not going to "litigate" the matter through impeachments. Courts have not limited this authority and are unlikely to do so. This is a call for an impeachment by members who tolerated the exercise of the authority by Democratic members...

...It is equally baffling to seek to impeach on the basis of the "kidnapping" of former President Maduro. Trump was acting within the authority recognized by the courts in the Noreiga case. That was, to use Massie's term, "litigated." ...

Hegseth's own rebuttal was also unsparing.


Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Tuesday railed against the Republican congressman who introduced articles of impeachment against him and aggressively defended his leadership in the Iran war and other military operations.

"What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight, and it's not accountability. It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment," Hegseth said a day after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., put forward the eight impeachment articles.

"It's a farce, and it's a stunt, and everybody knows it," Hegseth said during his first Pentagon news conference in six months.

The articles accuse Hegseth of waging war in contravention of Congress, carrying out extrajudicial killings tied to boat strikes in the Caribbean against purported drug smugglers and suppressing free speech by targeting Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a military veteran.

Massie, a libertarian who lost his Republican primary in May after clashing with President Donald Trump, kicked off the impeachment battle less than a week after a blue-wave midterm that will flip House and Senate control to Democrats.


Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who is poised to be speaker of the House in the next Congress, on Sunday said Democrats are a "hard yes" on impeaching Hegseth. He reiterated his support on Monday in a press conference.

Hegseth added:

"This is not patriotism. This is sabotage"

Hegseth got a good grade from the boss.

"Pete Hegseth gets an "A" PLUS, PLUS, PLUS for his defense against a disgruntled, angry, defeated, former Congressman, Thomas Massie, a TOTAL LOSER!" Trump posted on Truth Social.






Awww, poor little girl got her feefees hurt!

Tara Copp
@TaraCopp

A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here -- for Hegseth's first press conference in 6 months -- that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It's the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. "This is crazy town" one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that

Oh wait, she's not a little girl, she's a middle-aged Karen who, like all middle-aged Karen, has no sex drive but gets OFF on always being both victim and hero at all possible times.

The right (including Hegseth) knows that combat is not at all a criminal matter, but an existential one, particularly as you get more granular (the individual warrior vice the US itself).

Combat is combat. Crime is crime. They aren't interchangeable, no matter how much liberals want them to be.

We are watching out country unravel bit by bit. This is the result of years of marching though the institutions.

It starts where we allowed poison to be taught in our schools. Our "leaders" had multiple opportunities to either cut off or mitigate the left's control of education- universal vouchers, charter schools, etc...

Our leaders were unwilling to fight. They play nice with their "Friends across the aisle."

Instead the "leaders" and "thought leaders" mocked people who pointing out how insane students had become. "They'll change when faced with the real world".

IF we aren't able to retake control of our country and retake control of our education system, the greatest country the world has ever seen will see its demise from internal enemies and feckless leaders.

I have to assume this is what Cicero felt, warning of the demise of the Roman Republic.

It's always, ALWAYS drugs with these fucking hippies.

You have to wonder about those politicians that seem to defend narco-terrorists the most...how much money was funneled to them through various means by narco-terrorists.

Just like politicians that voice support for China directly and indirectly...

Just like politicians that voice support for Muzzie terrorist organizations...

Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 10, 2026 12:06 PM (iFTx/)

The drugs and embargoed crude were being shipped to Europe for sale, and the proceeds were laundered through European banks for deposit into Venezuelan military and Cartel banking accounts, where the credit was used for purchasing needed supplies for export to Venezuela, and of course Iran since they combined with Venezuela to "greywash" their own crude.

I am told that the price of Coke in Europe has gotten unpleasantly high, and I suspect this is reflected in US prices as well.

No one will talk about coke here, but has pot gone up in price, those of you who partake?

This is treason. Pure unmitigated treason. The attempt to restrict American armed forces so they can't win. Just like in Iraq, and 'Stan, and Vietnam.

Its like Tick-Tock. Every time the medical community finds ways to be more efficient, new treatments that dial down recovery, techniques that once were days in a bed are now office visits and out treatment, anything...

Then the "AFFORDABILITY"™ Demonic Party finds new ways to jack up premiums. More efficient? Bring 40 million foreigners in with expensive medical problems. New treatments? Put more people in psychotherapy, add drug rehab as covered by Obamacare. Streamline processes? Add whole new categories of covered treatment like lifelong tranny drugs and body mutilation. Import more doctors? Force the population to take the ClotShot and watch as turbo cancers, infertility, and heart disease sky rocket and become normal in young populations. Bring drug prices down? Dig out foreigners with incurable TB, leprosy and stuff that was eradicated back in the days of Jesus.

Its as if there is a homeostasis of misery and expense that must be maintained. For every efficiency and betterment, new shit is stuffed into the system to erase whatever gains may have occurred.

128 Rep. Massie's impeachment articles should be recognized for what they are: a road map to the terms of our national surrender.

Blowing up narco terrorists on the high seas it's exactly what I want our military doing. Same goes for blowing up the Iranian terrorist nuclear capability.

Tossing out left wing ideologues masquerading as US military officers is exactly what the SoW should be doing. If it comes down to modeling our military on the character of General Patton versus General Miley I would approve that a thousand times over.

Massie's beef is he hates President Trump and he's such a cocksucking coward he didn't have the balls to impeach him instead of Hegseth.

Could be, though it was most likely a barter economy for the Venezuelan generals who managed the regime and supported it. Drugs were fast-boated to places like Jamaica, and then shipped to ports like Amsterdam, and credit was given out. I suspect when the money dried up, so did the bribes and the willingness to support Maduro.
It was also a pretext to put the USN in the Gulf in preparation for the Maduro operation you know.

There was just no plan in place in Iran, so either Trump is totally overruling Hegseth's wise counsel or he's being poorly advised by Hegseth.

Trump needs a head to roll and I would be shocked if he doesn't decide to dump it on Hegseth.

He's talking about how US special forces and Other Government Agency people have been working with Ecuador to attack cartel operations in that country. This includes trying to disrupt the drug boat operations based there. Haven't seen any attention to this, publicly.

Anyway, the more aggression and will you demonstrate, the easier and more productive your operations become. We're giving lots of hemispheric actors the courage to step up.

chief of staffs doen't implement war strategy.

There's really two paths here, Trump's Iran strategy was sound or it was a disaster. if you think it was done poorly, who else is to blame?

Maybe Hegseth is totally innocent and tried to do things differently, but he seemed front and center for all of it.

If I was Secretary of Defense and I felt I was nothing but a bystander holding the bag, I would have resigned.

203 BTW, the greatest living French novelist, Michel Houellebecq, was just indicted by the French government, and will be prosecuted.

Writer Michel Houellebecq indicted after remarks about Muslims and the "great replacement"

INFO LE FIGARO - Michel Houellebecq was prosecuted after an interview with Front Populaire, Michel Onfray's magazine, in November 2022. The 70-year-old writer was indicted for complicity in provocation to discrimination, hatred or violence.

The writer Michel Houellebecq was indicted for "complicity in provocation to discrimination, hatred or violence against a group of people because of their origin or their belonging or non-membership to a specific ethnicity, nation, race or religion", Le Figaro learned from a source close to the file. The decision was rendered on Tuesday by an investigating judge of the Nanterre judicial court.

I no longer partake, but illegal weed is a death-trap--too much of it is exposed to fentanyl and people's pleasant little high results in their untimely passing.

Legal weed requires a id card, and an id card puts one at risk of clashing with one's oath upon a federal firearms card at the time of purchase.

Because I'm not a fan of untimely death or charges of federal perjury, I no longer partake.

It has nothing to do with munitions and everything to do with a captured population (Persians)that we don't really have a beef with.

It's not like Imperial Japan, where the population is all-in on the War effort and being used as a defused manufacturing/fighting force.

There is no need to cow the population of Iran, entirely. So, we have to work to spare the population while eliminating their ruling class and respective security force.

And that's more or less how this turned out.

Kiki Camarena, DEA agent murdered in 1987, was one such victim. The CIA was afraid he had connected the drug trade to an airstrip they were using to smuggle weapons to the Contras. One of the CIA's men interrogated Kiki while he was in the clutches of the the Drug Lords, wanting to find out what he knew, then that same man lied to Congress about it.

311 On the other hand, the power to declare war rests with the Congress. The president as commander in chief can act without Congressional authorization in certain cases. The war in Iran has been conducted without Congressional authorization, or even very much consultation, or any attempt to persuade the American people before it was declared. The only justification was our bases were going to get hit in retaliation so we should proactively get involved.

None of this justifies impeachment of Hegseth, but it is an indictment of the Congress that basically has abnegated its responsibilities to regulatory agencies, the executive, and the courts. This has been getting worse for decades. No legislation, no budget, no responsibility. Just grandstanding investigations for fundraising. Our Congress, including Massie, is a joke.

Nope - in ALL cases. Where does the constitution delineate where he can and can't ? Nowhere

Much like the Constitution provides the ONLY qualifications for President, House, and Senate, and anything you want to add to that requires a constitutional amendment, so too does the Constitution contain all the requirements for the power to conduct military operations. IE none. You want to add some ? Best get to amending the Constitution, then. The War Powers Act, as everyone already knows, is patently unconstitutional.

317 Two things in the framing above don't survive the roll call.

First, "a single disgruntled congressman" is hard to square with a 211-204 vote. 204 members voted against the motion to refer, i.e. for a floor vote right now. Nearly half the chamber preferred losing a public vote to no vote at all. That is not one crank; it is a substantial bloc that wanted the question answered on the record.

Second, Hegseth's own defense is that the operations were lawful and properly directed, which is an argument on the merits. Referral to Judiciary is the one route that can test it in public: subpoenas for the authorizations, the targeting records, the legal opinions. If the case is as weak as the administration says, a committee record is where that gets established, not where it gets buried. "Effectively killed" describes the calendar, not the merits.

The Article I point ought to bother the right more than it does: a House that will not even vote on a war it is asked to fund has handed the war power to the executive, and the next president inherits that precedent regardless of party.

I work on TheBareNews: AI-written Left and Right columns over one shared factual account, no original reporting, so both cases are argued from the same facts. The account of this vote: https://tinyurl.com/22qlprxm

The Morning Rant: John Thune (And Others) Must Go!

punk-monkey.jpg

The paradigm of the brave and strong political maverick is mostly cover for rebellion and faithless behavior. We have far too many examples of it on the right side of the aisle, and the tiny number of examples on the left is telling. John Fetterman is the only one I can think of, and his rebellion doesn't extend to his votes. But even then, he is a big target and might not survive his next election.

In our lifetimes the worst example is John McCain, the supposed hero (I doubt it) and naval aviator (lousy at it) who made a name for himself by screwing his party, his state, and his country.

John Thune is rapidly rising in that pantheon of sh*t, and he is not the only one in the current Republican Party. There is some perverse pride among the politicians who confound the reasonable expectation that they support their party and their President. It reminds one of a rebellious toddler who has just learned the word and concept of "No," and uses it at every opportunity, even though the outcome is demonstrably worse than the other option.

His sabotage of the SAVE Act is well known, and an indelible stain on him as a senator and a human being. But he also kept the Senate in pro forma sessions to prevent the President from making recess appointments, which was damaging to the will of the people and to President Trump's platform. These things should disqualify him from any position of authority in the Senate, and make it difficult to win reelection in 2028.

Perhaps worse than his resistance to any meaningful legislation and work in the Senate was his arrogant pomposity in the face of overwhelming support for the SAVE Act. His pretend high-mindedness was galling, even as he pretended to be some sort of expert on the inner workings of the Senate. It was obvious that he was merely an obstructionist.

7 GOP Senators Move To Delay Thune's Coronation After Midterm Massacre

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is driving the effort and has collected the five signatures needed to request a meeting of the full conference, The Hill reported. Republicans Ted Budd of North Carolina, Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah and John Kennedy of Louisiana signed his letter, according to Axios.

Two other Republicans, Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania and Jim Banks of Indiana, endorsed the delay in their own statements without signing, Bloomberg reported.

Johnson called Tuesday’s outcome a “stunning defeat” in the letter, The Hill reported, and has argued that rushing the vote would be “political malpractice,” according to the Federalist. Johnson wants the conference to examine what went wrong before it installs a leadership team.

“If you hold the election, I’ll leave the room,” Johnson told a Washington Examiner reporter Monday. “An election defeat of this magnitude demands change,” he added on X.


That bolded part is vital. The Republican Party failed in many ways, and while the blame does not rest solely with the feckless Senate leadership, John Thune's failure should be the catalyst for an examination of how the Republicans in the Senate support the administration's goals and how they respond to the American people's support for popular legislation.

Managing the decline is no longer an option! Although if an election cycle as a minority party will purge the Senate of its pathetic Corporate GOP placeholders, perhaps that would be worth it. Regardless, the idea of the maverick has damaged the prospects of the Republican Party, and the purge should be swift and violent and all-encompassing.

The left operates in lockstep, and savagely punishes the outliers who disturb the carefully crafted image of a unified party. That is why the emergence of the DSA is so disturbing...their party hierarchy cannot control them! And that is a good thing for the Republican Party and the conservative movement. But...the left never loses sight of its goals, and they will eventually integrate the DSA and its far-left analogues into the Party, or perhaps it will be the other way around. But either way, the path is always toward unity.

That is a lesson that has evaded the Republican leadership. JD Vance came from the Senate, and as vice-president he could have been a vital bridge between the administration and the Senate, but that would have required loyalty to the President and the goals of the American people, and he would have had to sublimate his own political goals...something he has clearly not done.

President Trump could have been more collaborative with the Senate, and perhaps that would have changed the trajectory of the SAVE Act defeat. But that is asking him to change his spots, and is simply not a reasonable expectation. And, after all, the President is the de facto head of the Party, and has every right to expect loyalty to his strategic vision, especially when it is supported by the vast majority of the American people!

But that requires a sea change in the way Republican lawmakers see themselves, and the voters must speak loudly and forcefully for that to occur!

29 So what happened with the Pete Hegseth presser? Was it just railing about Massie? Are we calling down our Iran actions?

If Obama could drone strike babies, I don't see how anything Trump's asked Hegseth to do is technically illegal. If he's not tried through a bank republic kangaroo court, the impeachment is a nothing burger.

36 A leader takes the initiative and the risk. He ultimately owns the strategy and the decisions. He wins or loses the fight based on the choices he made. He “leads” and takes the bullet or hoists the flag. Above all else, he has honor, integrity, dignity and is willing to do anything he asks those serving underneath him to do. If he fails, he knows he didn’t fail himself, he failed his men. In the end, he takes responsibility cause honor and service is higher than self.

If Thune thought this through for one second, he would stand up at the podium, admit failure, and offer his sword.

You want to know what’s wrong with Congress? It’s become about self, not service. Hyperbole, not action. Lies and obfuscation, not truths.

43 Jennifer Welch says her advertisers were "harassed" into dropping the show.

"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."

Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.

They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.

Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.

At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.

It's not because they were harassed. It's because these women are toxic.

But hey if you're a little company, just drop these hateful hags a message bashing Charlie. Maybe that'll get you a free ad read.

He's a tool and is being used. To stop allowing himself to be used would mean he'd be cast aside. Money. Pride. Fear. Arrogance. Hate. Any or all are probably in play as to why he persists like a boil on the ass that is the GOP.

People who have been in DC for decades know far better than we do how the DC game is played and who is pulling strings and writing checks.

We are the insurgents and Thune and many others are the entrenched establishment. Tim Burchett, a somewhat low key but a guy most definitely on our side in the House, announced yesterday that he wanted Marsha Blackburn to appoint him to her former seat in the Senate after she left to be governor of Tennessee. Thune immediately came out against him.

Not a chance in hell Trump or God Almighty was going to make Thune and his establishment pals pass the Save Act. It was the simplest and most obvious thing they could do to please 80% of the country. So they didn't do it.

Glad Davey got in there.

In 2025 and 2026, during Donald Trump's second administration, the deployment of surrogates has shifted to when, what, where?

Federal agency overhauls, the Great American Recovery Initiate, maternal and healthcare initiatives, legal and border enforcements, defending birthright citizenship restrictions, Melania and her focus on foster children, her focus on Ukraine and Russia, the frigging fact Trump HAD to do something with Iran, not in keeping with O's turning his back on our nation, and on and on the administration fights. Maybe not all perfect in tone or goal. But always trying for this nation, and the administration should be lauded for it.

Where are the surrogates? Far and few between and msm will never help.

T & his administration gets used to fix or stabilize a ton of broken or almost broken shit in this country and throughout the world, and then the knives come out immediately for the next election from all sides.

All, imo.

69 If Thune loses the caucus vote, he's out. He's only there because he won the caucus vote earlier. Leaders are chosen by a caucus for lots of reasons. Sometimes (in the past) it was fund-raising power, sometimes experience and savvy in navigating the Senate, sometimes other things or a combo. Inertia plays a role (Schumer's case at the moment).

Then again, maybe the caucus vote is rigged too, somehow the vote is "hacked" and the loser wins. With 50 people in the room they use, hard to see, but I'm open to persuasion.

115 "Rhomboid, yes, people vote in primaries, but somehow we get someone foisted on us."

Don't want to yank this taffy further, but if people vote for someone, that someone is not "foisted" on them (as a whole).

Pitiful options? Sure. The nature of a dead, calcified two-party "system". The Trump phenomenon clearly illustrates how dead the system is, but also how rebellion can work. Whole lot a rebellion going to be needed - and not just in presidential cycles - to overwhelm the inertia.

Re-electing Thune to the leadership or any leadership position would be the biggest insult possible to Republican voters and Certainly Trump voters.

It would literally be saying to Republican voters that they will never ever, under any circumstances represent them.

And if that's the case...well, why support or vote for them?

All of this could've been prevented with a cooperative Congress, now the whole country goes down with the Democrats promised Turbo-Biden destruction and inflation.

Welp, I just hope those yuan and Singham Bux were worth selling off your inheritance of freedom.

There are now reports that the axe fell for one reason: to get Gunn out of the way of what is shaping up to be another disaster, his sequel to Superman (2025), Man of Tomorrow.

... both parties, but especially the Republicans, have subscribed to the "next person in line" method of favoring candidates for the presidential nominee. First example of this, Bob Dole.

Dole was also the Republican presidential nominee in the 1996 presidential election and the vice presidential nominee in the 1976 presidential election. Bob Dole was in the military in WWII, sustained a head wound and went into politics.

2008 Obama won Dems won house in 06

We saw it yesterday and enjoyed it. Lots of Godzilla goodness. So, many great p[arts and set pieces.

I really liked the opening, where Ghidrah's theme screeches like a repeating musically alarm and the screen opens up to Ghidrah rampaging destruction.
Sent chills up my spine and make think "This is gonna be a good movie."

Surprisingly, the little girl is an excellent actor better than some of the adults.

Is it as good as "Godzilla Minus One"?...no, this is one of those movies where there's too much plot
and it gets in the way sometimes and slows things down.

Still, a very good movie and a fun time at the flicks.

Definitely, worth seeing on the big screen.

Posted by: tubal at November 10, 2026 12:00 PM (Gqar8)

147 r/TheBulwark

The 2028 Senate map looks brutal. Republicans must be shitting bricks on this one; a 60 seat majority is not an unreasonable goal!

Assuming the Democrats need 4 flips to get to 60, what are the realistic targets? Wisconsin, North Carolina, Iowa...Getting a 4th starts seeming tough.

And in 2030....Ted Cruz (TX) getting taken out finally... especially due to the electorate shifting he must be scared shitless now.

It depends what happens in the next two years. If Trump doubles down and democrats run Ossoff, every Republican seat is potentially winnable if Republicans nominate the wrong candidate. You don’t get more red than Mississippi and South Carolina.

During the next two years, the economy for “everyday Americans” is just going to get worse as a consequence of bad decisions Trump and the GOP have already put in place. voters in 2028 will rightly blame Trump for the unfolding disaster. Dems will take the White House and expand their congressional majorities in 2028. The challenge for Dems after 2028 will be to satisfy voters’ unrealistic expectation that Dems will quickly repair the damage Trump has done.

Indeed. I can think of 544 others who need to go, as a feeble start. We can start working through the other ~.5m after those guys break ground on the canal at the Port of Anchorage.

Once they're exhausted, we can start using excavators and paid labor, etc., to get to the Port of New Orleans - while always keeping barracks at job sites for the Lot's Wives who looked back. They can always dig. Every little bit helps.

158 To be out classed by Obama once again should be an indelible stain on the GOP. This is a party that perpetually undermines its own agenda by design. We keep hearing that we should vote for the best person in a two way race against Democrats. That choice is always anybody but the Democrat. But that comes at a cost to the conservatives that are stuck with these losers.

That opportunity is now.

It should’ve been done right after the tea party got wiped out by the same class of people that led to this wipeout. I don’t have faith that this will happen and we will know after the leadership hearings. Hope isn’t a plan, and if we have to put faith into the people that have been continuously running this party into the ground then it will be a grim future.

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

90 This painting is one of the most poignant I've seen. The young woman, frail, sylph-like, clings to her lyre which has only one string intact. Her posture is almost crumbled but not defeated. She is blind or blindfolded, in either case misfortune has happed to her. She is still trying to play or live. She hasn't given up. The one point of brightness is on her face. Everything else in the painting is softer, earthier, and flows from that point.

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

An alternate title could be Faith.

This is how far the Democrat lawfare agenda has already escalated:

Ayanna Pressley wants Republicans held accountable for "crimes against humanity."

"Starving, hungry children. Denying people essential health care. The list is long."

This was after listing other punishable offenses such as "Black women pushed out of the workforce," tariffs and the unemployment rate.

In other words: It doesn't matter what the grievances are, Democrats want them contorted into prosecutable crimes.

The communist New York City mayor has quietly been asking President Trump's team to release individuals held in ICE custody, according to a Monday report from Politico.

According to Politico, that communication came through former Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

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

At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.

Litany are the worst kind.

She's been suspended since 2020.

"Judge Kahlilia Davis was accused of abusing court powers and interfering in the work and livelihood of a process server for the court, even lying under oath. In 2020, the Michigan Supreme Court suspended Davis for failing to keep a video record of the court cases in violation of Michigan Court rules.

Following that 2020 suspension, Davis made headlines again in 2022 when the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission found her unfit to serve. She purposely unplugged courtroom recording equipment, threatened coworkers (even using Bible verses to do so!), used a fake handicap placard so she could park closer to buildings, lied under oath, and abused other court powers."

Thanks for the correction. Unless they only wish to serve leftist clientele I'm sure it will come back to bite them In the backside. I have a feeling that the owner of the bar /restaurant near me is probably a conservative. He did have "Happy 250 USA" things up, but he hadn't put any pro Trump stuff on his walls . Then again, he's been in business for about 30 years. I guess he knows what's what

The Morning Report — 11/10 /26

trump-Massie.jpg

Good morning kids. Well, in the immortal lyrics of John Lennon, "Happy Christmas, War is over!"

President Donald Trump declared Monday that Iran’s military is effectively defeated and another U.S. offensive appears unlikely, signaling that the months-long conflict could soon end following talks with Qatar’s prime minister.

Gee, and such perfect timing the welcome announcement coming as it does precisely a week after the midterm elections where the conflict in Iran was in many quarters a campaign issue that in sone ways rightly or wrongly contributed to the disastrous showing for the GOP.

Will there be an official surrender on board the deck of the USS Missouri, conveniently parked somewhere in the Strait of Hormuz so that the Houthis can attack it a la the USS Cole with Islamikaze suicide boats? And no doubt Iran's renewal of its efforts to build nuclear weapons will go the way of its Mullah-controlled government — that is it will ramp up yet again.

On this fercockter sour note, yes it's not just the lyrics but it's also the fact that the music that it engendered included the vomitus inducing screeches of Yoko Ono. And so we go from the President's declaration on Iran to this madness about the border and immigration policy. I mean what the ever-loving Effing hell?!


President Donald Trump denied Monday that his administration is considering amnesty for illegal immigrants, clarifying remarks he made in an interview over the weekend suggesting he might be open to striking a deal with Democrats.

During an interview with 60 Minutes, the president told CBS News’ Ross Douthat that he would “love” to work with Democrats on immigration, said the issue had both “helped and hurt” him in the midterms, and suggested that he might allow certain illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.

Working with the Democrats is the exact same thing as working with Hamas and Iran's Mullahs. Maybe, maybe they'll throw you some sort of a bone that has a huge string attached to it but in the next two years, if they can't actually impeach convict and remove you from office — remember they now control both chambers and they're on a mission from ...Satan... as they have been for years — they will do everything they can to completely undermine you by any and every means at their disposal. Because the real goal is not just removing you as their bête noire but removing every last vestige of America as founded, that is whatever yet remains of it, so they can cement absolute power generationally and forever.

Every generation of Americans is told that some emergency justifies setting the Constitution aside just this once. Today’s “emergency” comes with a slogan: saving democracy. Strip away the branding, and the Democrat Party’s structural agenda looks like something entirely different—and reminiscent of the old Bolsheviki power play 100 years ago but recast for gaining control of U.S. institutions. Two new states, a packed Supreme Court, the end of the filibuster, an end run around the Electoral College, federal control of elections, and a government apparatus for policing “disinformation” are not a plan to save democracy. Taken together, they are a plan to make a future Democrat Party majority permanent. That was the Bolsheviki goal, too....THE PATTERN: WIN ONCE, NEVER LOSE AGAIN...THE ACCELERANT: A COLOR REVOLUTION IN WAITING . . . There is a constitutional answer for the Democrats’ plan. Constitutional conservatives do not need to match the Democrats with a plan of their own. We need only insist on the rules the Framers wrote. If DC deserves statehood, if the Electoral College should go, if justices should serve fixed terms, then Democrats are free to make that case via constitutional amendments or Article V and persuade three-quarters of the states to agree. They know they cannot, and that is exactly why they are trying to go around it. The rest of us, in South Dakota and across the country, should refuse to let them.

The Constitution is what they've wiped their ass with for nearly 200 years now. There is nothing to stop them. The courts. please that is their first line of defense!!! So the question is How many divisions do they have? No really, should we God-Forbid wind up with a POTUS Titty-Caca AOC and VOP El-Sayed in the not too distant future, they'd have the military, would they obey their orders?

More to the point is that the question really is How many divisions do WE have?!

On these sour notes, one final thought: Tom Massie is a Titanic reeking, abject piece of shit.

Some people can take a hint. Soon-to-be former Rep. Thomas Massie is not one of those people. Voters in his Kentucky district sent him packing on May 19, and he seems intent on breaking whatever he can before he leaves at the end of the year. He does not even have the leverage to say he could have won a district Republicans lost on Tuesday. The man who defeated him in the Republican primary, Ed Gallerin, beat his Democrat challenger in the general by 13 points. Now he is going out with a bang, forcing an impeachment vote on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth this Wednesday. From his office: Massie is doing this because he doesn't dare do what he really wants to do: introduce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. It is even more obvious since pretty much every one of the "high crimes and misdemeanors" listed by Massie are things Hegseth either did under orders from the Commander in Chief or with his approval. 

As horrendous as last Tuesday was, if by some miracle we not only survive the aftermath but it it also leads to the complete evisceration of the GOP of cancerous lesions like Massie, Thune, et al and the restoration of a real pro-American anti-Leftist party we can rally behind then perhaps it will all be worth it.

Until then, hunker down, and God bless us all, and despite everything I bid you to have a good day.

10 Willowed... about AI...

...Plus it has a kind of Tower of Babel vibe to it. “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens"

The key phrase follows where God decides to confound their language because He observed that together "there is nothing they can't do" — and that phrase has haunted Torah scholars for millennia.

I have coined the phrase "babelized" to describe any system that is too complex to be understood or properly managed. Like running a nation in a command economy. Which is the direction the former US is heading. Which may be possible with AI ... in theory.

Personally, I see it more spiritualized and AI is the head-fake. Its the joining together the people groups (ref Table of Nations) who were scattered into a mass so that their spiritual princes will be together to pick up on their rebellion against God that they began shortly after The Flood.

We had puppets Obama and Biden which proves that the real decisions don't happen anywhere near the Oval Office.

Barry was needed to spread the charisma and put a messianic face on the Bolshevism.

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

Dems signed up a bunch of new voters. Republican vote numbers were on par with past midterms. So if those newly signed up Dem voters are legit, then minimal cheating… I tend to think they’re legit.

35 Future is still bleak and now looks like Trump may throw us under the bus on immigration. His mass deportations should be ramped up instead, as it is the only thing that might save this country.

I'm of the group that believes that human history has a distinct beginning and end that has a foundation in purpose.

To achieve that end, particularly since the war is spiritual not carnal, there are certain requirements. Given that each of the nations (as in Table of Nations) who were separated at Babel have their own spiritual princes (angels/demons/whatever) that a reunion is required — thus there is a physical requirement for the dispersed nations to gather in an economic environment that permits some level of reintegration (physical infrastructure is needed for the humans who are the "hands" of the princes).

Therefore, it is inevitable, indeed a cosmic requirement that immigration is restored to satisfy the time-line.

But, even though I can see the light at the end of this tunnel, it's extremely irritating. More irritating than it's been for the rest of my life, really, because it's like when you've been holding in a huge dump for 200 miles and you know there's a toilet just two exits ahead.

That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed

69 The F-35 Joint Program Office is struggling to keep track of billions of dollars worth of spare parts for the fifth-generation fighter, government auditors said in a new report—and it still can’t find $85 million in parts that have been lost for years.

The Pentagon does not maintain complete records tracking its worldwide pool of roughly 26 million spare F-35 parts that are collectively worth about $31 billion, the Government Accountability Office said in a report released Nov. 9. What records it has are often inaccurate, incomplete, and don’t reflect real-time changes, the congressional watchdog added.

74 For years, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has described his Afghanistan deployment as the experience of an 82nd Airborne Division paratrooper who led soldiers in combat. Now, the Army officer who supervised Moore daily says his accounts of what happened there in 2005 and 2006 are unequivocally false.

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

Gottschling’s knowledge of Moore’s daily activities in the combat zone adds a firsthand perspective to Spotlight's examination of Moore’s path to Afghanistan, his duties and his combat claims.

116 I've always liked the serenity prayer. Unfortunately, it's gotten truncated by 12 step programs.

Written by theologian and pastor, Reinhold Niebuhr
In the late '30's or early 40's:

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

Amen.

The haters will continue to hate him, the fake conservatives will continue to call him a Nazi, and his loyal voters will be utterly betrayed.

So I don't see it happening. It's talk and it keeps the other side off balance. I would not be happy if he signs a bill that amnesties just one illegal of any kind and I represent the OG Trump brigade. So I don't see it.

Prosecutors, according to the report, were told to "[o]ffer something that does not have the child's age as an element of the crime."

"Think about what that means," he continued. "A grown man commits a sex crime against a child. He pleads to something that, on paper, could have been against an adult. The record that reaches ICE no longer shows a child victim."

"The removal case falls apart, and he stays here."

I think Rubio and DeSantis have shown they can fight, though differently than Trump. Less effectively? DeSantis racked up a lot of wins in Florida. He fought the Left in creative and daring ways, and showed a relentlessness usually unseen among Republicans. Rubio has shown a total fearlessness of the media. So, yes I think they can fight.

As for Vance, forget it. He's a slick triangulator. Whatever "fight" he shows will be self-serving, without the stamina of conviction.

🇶🇦 TOP TRUMP SOCIAL MEDIA ADVISER ACCUSED OF SECRET QATAR PAYMENTS 🇶🇦

For months, Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz has been waging a holy jihad against pro-Israel commentators critical of Qatar, including Mark Levin, Josh Hammer, Eyal Yakoby, and yours truly, repeatedly insinuating (or outright starting) that we're being paid to promote Israeli interests.

Ironically, just FIVE DAYS AGO, Alex declared, "I don't take any money from Qatar."

Well, the New York Times now reports that his former business partner, Derek Utley, alleges Alex received approximately $500,000 from individuals linked to Qatar through an undisclosed business or consulting arrangement.

213 190 Are the rules for impeachment the same across the board?

What "high crimes and misdemeanors" has Hegseth committed? Kicking out the mentally imbalanced trannies? Requiring officers be in shape instead of doughnut eating fatbodies? War preparations for soldiers?

What, exactly?
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer

The "high crimes and misdemeanors" are simply that the followed Trump's illegal orders (very effectively, by the way). This is the camel's nose under the tent. You get a bi-partisan impeachment through that exposes Trump's crimes in the process, then the next logical step is to impeach Trump. I think that's the deep state color revolution based plan anyway. Massie probably has some really sick stuff that he is being blackmailed on. Or maybe he's just been Tucker Carlsoned.

It doesn't actually matter. Impeachment is political, not criminal.

They can use whatever words they want, and they may get 64 Senators to vote for removal, but I don't think they can get to 67.

That makes impeachment a GIANT waste of their time and political capital and I fully support them spending it here.

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

272 The FDA has instructed manufacturers of GLP-1 drugs, including Ozempic and Wegovy, to add warning labels regarding a rare risk of vision loss. The agency concluded there is a potential increased risk of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NAION, which can cause decreased or permanent vision loss.

Key points:

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

The fees are required to go up. Banks have expenses.

Also 10% is arbitrary there is no science other than the art of grabbing a number out of one's ass.

The fluctuating interest rates reflect a very well understood science of actuarial, credit-risk, Fed rates, money supply, transactional volume, average balances, risk pool, KYC, etc.

Declaring by fiat that a Second Chance prospective credit builder is going to have the same discipline as a well established occasional card user who clears the balance each period should be treated as identical risk-reward accounts is absolute folly and should be stopped by the 5th Amendment.

He seeded social media with humans, not bots, to post about the "dire" economy. He told the CNN spokesbitch that things really weren't that bad, but had to something. Constant repetition of high gas, groceries, cost of living, etc was hammered for months until it got traction. Nothing but disinformation. The program is called AAN.

I have a very clear memory from army basic training. I’m a military newbie and clueless… we’re doing calisthenics and a lieutenant walks by me and says “we’re gonna get you in shape, private”…. I made the mistake of assuming that he was being friendly and so I responded with an enthusiastic “that’s great”…. He was not happy that I dared speak to him so he got in my face and uttered only one word and it was clear he was unhappy with me. That one word: Buddy!

Clearly he was communicating that I was not and never would be his buddy haha

There's your answer to why Trump is going soft.

Sorry for late post.

375 Good morning. Thanks, J.J.

From the ONT: (In part) Declare that from today on, he (Trump) will sign literally anything Congress puts on his desk. Go on, let's party. Everything you want. Lean into some ridiculous EOs, too.

Give the lousy shits exactly what they want and drive this bitch into the ground. It's not like anything was going to get better otherwise.

At this moment, 🤷‍♀️. The ACA and Medicare/Medicaid largely state driven, intentional fiasco is huge and also needs brakes or we're going down fast.

But, from Ace's Quick Hits yesterday:

Don't blame Tucker. He was trying to help Republicans when he abandoned the party, then fabricated a story on the eve of the election that Trump wants to drop a nuke and start WWIII, destroying the entire world.

And don't say this influenced anyone. It was only viewed 100 million times.

And also, as much as I don't want to reference this: Axios, MAGA castoffs plot 2028 spoiler bid, Nov 8, 2026

In part, "An unusual coalition wants to recruit outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie as the Libertarian Party's 2028 ..

"The big picture: The plan is for libertarians to claim dibs on the "America First" agenda, mainly focusing on anti-war sentiment.

Organizers believe they can build consensus among supporters of the MAGA wing that's closer to Tucker Carlson, former Trump official Joe Kent and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), as well as disillusioned "Make America Healthy Again" activists and populist-inclined voters on the right and left." (Much more follows.)

Bingo!

USAID and other Federal agencies & non-profit foundations & institutes, plus other diabolical groups (AKA civil society overseas) at work.

I wondered, What is Red Seat Ventures and how is it tied to Tucker Carlson, MTG, etc.?

Reportedly, Fox Corp. acquired Red Seat Ventures, a media company that specializes in right-leaning podcasts and live events.

AI Overview: Founded by media executives Chris and Kevin Balfe, the company builds the "back-end" monetization machinery (such as ad placement, premium subscription tech, and and live events like CrimeCon) for personality-driven networks.

Posted by: L - No nic... at November 10, 2026 11:11 AM (NFX2v)

377 Variety, In part,
Red Seat Ventures, a division of Fox Corp's Tubi Media Group, operates a network of shows from personalities including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly and Piers Morgan.

Now, as part its parent company's ongoing push to capitalize on the creator economy, Red Seat is looking to empower any podcast creator to make money with Speakeasy: a new owned-and-operated platform developed within Fox aimed at providing creators with monetization, hosting and distribution services — all in one place." Massie could very well sign on.

Also, By refiling his paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), he explicitly authorized his principal campaign committee to continue raising money and entered into a joint fundraising arrangement to distribute political donations. (Daily Caller +1)

Massie stated on social media that keeping the committee active allows him to fund his ongoing political operations, cover costs associated with his remaining time as a current officeholder, and maintain a financial war chest for whatever federal office he ultimately decides to pursue in 2028. (UK Guardian + 2)

🤬 F these people. (I'll denounce myself.)

Good day.

Fulton, who was on a salary of $195,000 per year as a lead in the Protocol Support team, is seeking unspecified damages from the Ethereum Foundation. She also disclosed her ovarian cancer diagnosis to the company on March 24, 2026, roughly two weeks before being fired.

2016: Trump derangement. Ascendant sociopathy. Race riots. Evil politicians. Everyone's a perv. Movies suck. Music sucks. TV is going away.

2026: Still almost exactly that, with no discernible change whatsoever

America has literally just lost a decade. We used to become a whole new culture every ten years, to the point where we definitively marked cultural shifts by naming them numerically after decades, at least for the last ten of them or so.

Now? Nothing. We've stopped moving. We've stagnated. No one thinks anything new. No one does anything new. No one makes or builds anything new.

If we were able to kidnap somebody from 1965 and plunk them down 2025 I think they would rapidly adapt since the core of technology/ Life in a western country is somewhat consistent even though the details are radically different.

On the other hand, if you were to take somebody from 1910 and plunk them down in 1965, I think there is a case to be made. They would not fare as well.

59 In tech adventures, I got a phone call from my oldest friend. He wanted to know if I'd received some photos he'd emailed me. I hadn't. He was sending them to my old yahoo email, which I haven't used in so long that Yahoo has scotched it and built me a new mailbox. I told him my new address at the [positive nuclear particle] site, and that he could forward the email to me.

"How do I do that?"
"What program are you using?"
"Windows 11." (??!!)
"Better ask your son about the difference between an operating system and a program running on, or under, it."

He was using Outlook within Microsoft Office, and he got my test email, though it landed in spam and he didn't check until I suggested he look there. He moved that back into Inbox and added my email to his contacts.

I suppose I was just as clueless when I first learned about computers in '88, email in '93, and the 'Net in '94.

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

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

We have spf on our DNS records for the website at work, but I haven't even bothered with DMARC, so I don't know if this is causing us problems.

But they don't even detect us as lifeforms because we live our lives on such a vastly different time scale that we either look like a flash in the pan not worth monitoring, or a dead and static feature of the natural landscape that can't even really be called "alive".

78 I suppose if you think of it, there really hasn't ever been a culture on earth that had so much disposable income and economic stability that they could afford to pay much attention to what they looked like and how they amused themselves.

So it might not be that we're "stagnating" as such, we're just coming off the abnormally manic cultural hysteria of the late 20th century and everyday people are settling back into a more stable, less exciting mode of debt slavery and political irrelevance.

"Progress", or something.

91 From the Anthropic $3.6 billion gas turbine generator story:

The environmental implications of relying on gas-fired generators have also attracted criticism. “This is pretty grim—these kinds of generators are terrible for the environment.” Shakeel Hashim, founder of ReadTransformer, tweeted, commenting on Anthropic's purchase. His reaction points to an issue Anthropic will have to contend with as it expands its power infrastructure: securing electricity quickly does not remove the environmental costs of generating it.

How are gas-powered generators worse for the environment when so many power plants across the world are using the same technology?

Me thinks Shakeel is a full of sheet grifter.

Generation Jones

The name "Generation Jones" has several connotations, including a large anonymous generation, a "keeping up with the Joneses" competitiveness, and the slang word "jones" or "jonesing", meaning a yearning or craving resulting from the huge expectations left unfulfilled in this generation's transition from the economic boom of the 1960s to the souring economy of the 1970s.

The key phrase follows where God decides to confound their language because He observed that together "there is nothing they can't do" — and that phrase has haunted Torah scholars for millennia.

I have coined the phrase "babelized" to describe any system that is too complex to be understood or properly managed. Like running a nation in a command economy. Which is the direction the former US is heading. Which may be possible with AI ... in theory.

Personally, I see it more spiritualized and AI is the head-fake. Its the joining together the people groups (ref Table of Nations) who were scattered into a mass so that their spiritual princes will be together to pick up on their rebellion against God that they began shortly after The Flood.

The Monday ONT has dialed up the wayback machine with very random results. This is the 1930s New York edition (with public domain photos courtesy of the New York Public Library).

Will the Monday ONT always have a wayback machine theme? I'm a dinosaur with a small brain and short arms. I can barely tie my shoes. Don't make me predict what the future holds.

Horn & Hardart Automat at 977 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan (between West 57th and 58th Streets near Columbus Circle) - Berenice Abbott photo - 1936.

20261028-automat977eigthave1935.jpg

Horn & Hardart introduced the Automat concept (originally German) to the U.S. in Philadelphia in 1902 and to New York in 1912 (first at Times Square). The chain grew into the world's largest restaurant company at its peak. The last New York Automat closed in 1991.

The building with the Automat at 977 Eighth Avenue no longer exists.

A & P, Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, 246 Third Avenue (between East 20th and 21st Streets) - Berenice Abbott photo - 1936.

20261028-Great AtlanticPacific Tea Co.246Third Avenue1936.jpg

The store occupied the ground floor of a tenement at 246 Third Avenue, one block east of Gramercy Park. At the time, A&P was the world's largest grocery chain (about 15,500 stores nationwide by 1937, including 119 in Manhattan). Looks to be a bagel shop today.

Frank Lava, Gunsmith, 6 Centre Market Place, Manhattan (between Broome and Grand Streets near the Lower East Side / Little Italy / Chinatown area) - Berenice Abbott - 1937.

20261028-gunsmith6Centre MarketPlace1937.jpg

A number of gun shops once lined the street. They were neighbors to the massive Police Headquarters across the way at 240 Centre Street. The business was founded around 1850 (by Eli Parker). Frank Lava was a third-generation owner who continued operating it into the 1960s.

Jefferson Market Court, Southwest corner of Sixth Avenue and West 10th Street, Manhattan - Berenice Abbott photo - 1935.

20261028-JeffersonMarketCourt6thand10th1935.jpg

The courthouse ceased judicial use in 1945 and faced possible demolition. It was adapted as a New York Public Library branch, reopening in 1967. It remains the Jefferson Market Library at 425 Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue). The Sixth Avenue El was demolished in 1939.

Mori's Restaurant, 144 Bleecker Street, Manhattan - Berenice Abbott photo - 1935.

20261028-MorisRestaurant144BleekerStreet1935.jpg

Placido Mori, an Italian immigrant from Florence, opened the Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village in 1883/1884. It grew from a small bar and eatery into a well-known spot that survived Prohibition and the early Depression. In 1920, Mori bought the adjoining building and added a unified facade with columns and penthouse. Mori died in 1927. The restaurant closed in 1937 and the corporation filed for bankruptcy in early 1938.

Today, it looks like the ground floor has a stationary/shipping store and cannabis dispensary with apartments above. The columns at ground level remain.

Who was Berenice Abbott?

(July 17, 1898 - December 9, 1991) - American photographer that grew up in Ohio before moving to New York City. She moved to Paris in 1921 to study sculpture. In 1923, Man Ray hired her as his darkroom assistant. He taught her photography and she quickly developed her own skills. She opened a portrait studio in 1926 and gained recognition for sharp, psychologically revealing portraits of writers, artists, and expatriates. She met Eugene Atget and, after his death in 1927, acquired a large portion of his negatives and prints, rescuing them from obscurity and later promoting his documentary work in Paris.

She returned to New York in 1929. She received support in 1935 from the Federal Art Project (part of the WPA). She produced roughly 300 photographs for the project. A selection appeared in the 1939 book "Changing New York" which is where the photos for this post come from. The work is regarded as a major documentary record of Depression-era New York.

From the 1940s onward she focused on scientific photography, inventing ways to visualize physical phenomena (magnetism, motion, etc.) and illustrating physics textbooks and popular books, including work for MIT. She wrote guides such as "A Guide to Better Photography" in 1941. In the 1960s she moved permanently to rural Monson, Maine.

58 Younger son was studying something about NYC in 7th grade.

My snooty MIL was visiting and he was asking about her childhood, etc. She was raised with 7 siblings in a brownstone in Queens. They had a postage sized back yard, was part of the discussion.

Son innocently asked if this was a tenement and I nearly laughed out loud at her expression. Her mother's family were very wealthy. She said, "Indeed not!"

I spent most of my in-laws visits in FL drinking a LOT of gin at the strike of 5pm, their customary cocktail hour they never missed and I never knew about til I met them. I was the first girl their son ever brought home for dinner.

Have no doubt whatsoever they didn't like the idea of their wayward son (I had nothing to do with that) marrying me. Altho I was a RN with manners and brought good looking genes into the pool.

The Southern Presbyterian part bugged them, no doubt. They got used to me and our wedding was very nice. They preferred my parents to the other's spouse's parents.

When I worked in the newborn nursery my coworkers loved it when they came as my MIL was OCD and drove me insane. She once got on all fours to peer under the fridge and inform me of dust.

Posted by: Rex B at November 09, 2026 10:30 PM (sdSI9)

68 During the mid to late 1950s Seattle was figuratively and literally on the edge of North America. The Civic-Business peeps had it in their head it was one most important and overlooked places in the USA. With that in mind they cooked up the Seattle's World's Fair and it went on to attract about 10 million visitors.

That fair set the course of Seattle's transformation into world class city over the next 50 years. Unfortunately, the blue haired communists took over around 2010 and managed to foobar everything in 15 years.

85 During the mid to late 1950s Seattle was figuratively and literally on the edge of North America. The Civic-Business peeps had it in their head it was one most important and overlooked places in the USA. With that in mind they cooked up the Seattle's World's Fair and it went on to attract about 10 million visitors.

That fair set the course of Seattle's transformation into world class city over the next 50 years. Unfortunately, the blue haired communists took over around 2010 and managed to foobar everything in 15 years.

She was shocked to look in the window and see her husband having coffee with an attractive young woman. She'd suspected he might be having an affair, but never dreamed he'd have the gall to bring the Other Woman into their home.

She burst through the kitchen door, prepared to start screaming. Her husband quickly said, "Now, now, Diane... before you go off, she's here to see you, not me."

The woman calmed down a bit.

"Hi, I'm Diane. What can I do for you?"

112 Magazines peaked LONG ago.

It was a glorious run, from the beginning (1910s maybe?) up until the 1970s or 1980s).

There was a very clear demarcation or compartmentalization for subjects, crafts, hobbies, whatever.

Advertising budgets allowed full content articles and they hired subject matter experts and taught them how to write - or had Editors (remember those?).

By the 1990s magazines became very thin, both physically, and thin on content. The World Wide Web made “content creators” who basically did everything for free. No printing or postage costs.

119 Las Cruces, NM, based on photos I have seen, had a lovely early 20th century downtown.

120 I would like to make a correction to the ONT:
I live in the best place.

I have always lived in the best place, quite simply because I am there.

In the site of my birth there is a sign with the date and a baby photo of me.

In the 150yr old house where two of my classmates lived upstairs, and I had the lower floor apt, it is seriously registered as a historic house. Not because of that neighborhood of history, nay. Because I lived there.

Everyplace,and I am not bullsharting about this, I have lived has been beautiful and I have had a blast living freely. Lucky to have lived on a cattle ranch, the Atlantic beach, and the Rocky mountains. It's all very good.

I hope this ends the war of roses. Home is where the farht is.

Carry on.

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

The loss of advertising revenue, I suppose, they couldn’t make it pencil out, no way no how. the 1950s and 1960s were the peak Magazine era, I think. Energy costs, monetary inflation, dollar devaluations did a lot of things in during the 1970s

Two weeks ago I made a small, dumb joke on the ONT, which cob MH took badly, apparently personally.

That was bad enough, but he added that he was 'sick of [my] $#!+,' suggesting I had some history of giving him $#!+ or somehow stirring $#!+ on the board, or something, which was news to me. (And then our respected and loved cob emeritius retired, again. Hm.)

I may not be one of the gold-card Morons, nor have any expertise to contribute, nor even be noticed if I'm around or not, but I had thought I have been around long enough, and jocularly enough, to be understood as a harmless cardboard-card Moron in fair if not good standing.

This accusation dampened my enjoyment of the blog, expecially in participating (about which I've always been shy almost to the point of paranoia), so I took a two-week lurk break.

If I ever seem to be giving anyone grief, I didn't mean it. "I meant the other way" as the punchline goes.

156 I have been going through Medicare plans in detail today. The goal was to figure out which plan to sign up for. The only thing I know for sure at this moment is the more you know about Medicare plans you have no really don't know what is actually covered. What you do know when certainty is what's not covered. As for the deductible amounts , in and out of network, they fall into three groups: That's going to hurt, I'm going to have to sell a kidney if anything goes wrong, and It would be easier to commit suicide.

158 I remember one of the old-time pulp fiction editors talking about how the lurid color covers were by far the most expensive part of the magazine. The pulp paper inside was shit, and the writers got paid pennies. All the money, such as it was, went into the covers. These were gang-printed on large sheets, then cut apart for use.

The owner of the pulp chain he worked for kept brooding because there was a blank slot on thw large sheet, and one day told the editor that he was now also the editor of a romance magazine (or western, or detective, or science fiction, or whatever it was... I forget).

No extra pay, of course.

172 Full color printing is always more expensive than one or two colors because the CMYK process is a lot more work involved. Four plates have to be made and then it’s four passes through the press that must be kept in line perfectly or it looks like crap. Glossy paper is also a bit more expensive, as well as the ink.

The process has gotten a lot cheaper over the years due to better technology but it still isn’t cheap

205 Well, some success in the shop. Changed out the little ten volt transformer for a 6.3 volt, 2A filament transformer, and a full-wave bridge rectifier. Hum much reduced, and I could dial in exactly 1.9 volts to the tube filaments. Radio is still noisy, though, but it needs an outside long-wire antenna. Funny thing: if I place my hand near the output tube, the noise diminishes a lot. My B+ source is 90 volts from a regulated bench power supply.

The reworked "A" supply is no longer a source of hum.

My name is Ahmed Moor and I’m running for US Senate here in PA (election 202. I’m running to end the war in Iran and to promote the dignity agenda: free healthcare, free childcare, and affordable housing.

I’m calling for accountability for genocide, for ICE and for corruption. And finally, for the protection of our civil liberties in America.


Just. Fuck. I hope Rubio is prepping his assault on this fuckitting mountain of lies.

I hate to say it, but DeSantis's delivery is too soft. Seldom seen a cut so sharp and hit so hard while speaking and looking like such a meatball.

239 Late to the party, but the best movie scene which revolved around an automat was in the film "That Touch of Mink", a frothy Doris Day/Cary Grant film. Watching Gig Young and Audrey Meadows interact thru the food slots was hilarious.

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

Mom was a 1950's housewife, with five kids, and did absolutely everything she couldn't make us do. She worked a glamour job at Northwest Orient Airlines in Seattle until she married. After that, no more job.

Then along came the 1970's, the youngest was in third grade, and she went back to work running my father's engineering practice. Women's liberation and all that. Plus, we were old enough to run most of the house and garden and were pressed into service to do so. Both folks took off two weeks during moose hunting season to: get the moose, process the moose, freeze the moose, make the sausage, etc. All hands on deck.

I remember taking exactly one real vacation, when my oldest sister went off to college.

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

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

Trump should go Full Retard. Declare that from today on, he will sign literally anything Congress puts on his desk. Go on, let's party. Everything you want. Lean into some ridiculous EOs, too. Oh, you don't like us being mean to the mullahs? Full withdrawal, and a trillion dollar aid package to Teheran with the scratch of a pen. There ya go. Gas too expensive? National mandate of $2/gal. Problem solved. Don't like my cabinet? The entire executive branch is fired, and their salaries will funnel directly into the Congressional Sex-Scandal Hush-Money Fund.

Give the lousy shits exactly what they want and drive this bitch into the ground. It's not like anything was going to get better otherwise.

Dog and cat are friends.

Cleansing your dog's charkras. Or something. I don't know what this is.

Fuzzy calf has the zoomies.

Kitten thinks the lab's tail is a cat-toy.

Young elephant is in grade school bully mode.

Spy vs. Spy.

Cat is trying to moonwalk and he's better at it than I ever was.

Dog accepts his fate at a member of the cat pack.

They're celebrating their big win over Duncanthrax.

This cat territorial aggression must not stand.

And on Sunday, dog rested. Though he also rested Monday through Saturday too.





We call 'em echidnas.

Echidnas are quill-covered, egg-laying mammals (monotremes) native to Australia and New Guinea. Alongside the duck-billed platypus, they are the only surviving mammals on Earth that lay eggs rather than giving birth to live young.

15 Since it is a light thread, girls XC team took 3rd at state (missed 2nd by 1 point). Boys were contenders for 2nd or 3rd, but our lead runner suffered a physical setback during the race, and we did not have enough speed behind him to avoid taking 6th overall.

Oldest got a personal record therein; he excels on hilly courses, and he moved up from 6 or 7th place (regularly) to 5th, which caused his time to be scored for the team.

It was bittersweet for me, because I got to know a few of the seniors who'd really worked hard to get there, and I felt bad at the unfortunate turn of events. But It's kind of a big deal for the oldest to have been 5th as a freshman (10th overall in State in his division).

Check that jumping cat's eyesight. I think it might have a depth perception problem. Or a height perception problem.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at November 09, 2026 07:57 PM (XJ22o)

49 Brave AI:

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

That will never deter me from speaking the truth about the existential threats of the cis-patriarchy and the environmental violence that surrounds us, which thereby shows my true allyship via dialoguing with the communities of LGBTQ+BIPOC people, persons who immigrated, the unhoused, birthing persons and incarcerated people, and all other victims of

I haven’t had one since I was a little kid, but my nephew had one for several years, who would spend 75% of his time outside. He would occasionally want to see what people were up to, like sitting on the desk right in front of the monitor while I was doing something on their computer.
He also warmed up to me enough to want to come sit in my lap to be petted after a few years of getting to know me.

But the majority of the time that cat was off doing his own thing until he got hungry and then he’d let you know it if you were late filing his bowl.

I wouldn’t mind the nit sleeping with me (less cat hair on the bed that way).

I’d just like to have a smart, curious, cat that likes to play with its human and doesn’t mind the occasional use as a stress reliever through a good petting and some loving.

Maybe even find one that likes to rub around both your legs as soon as you walk in the door.

What type is it? If it is the oldstyle Whirlpool / Amana direct drive, first check the door switch, then if it hums instead of going into drain, it could be either
1) a sock caught in the pump jamming the motor
2) the coupler between the motor and the transmission has borked itself and possibly the drive shaft - you will hear the motor spin and nothing happening
3) the transmission is borked. This may be the main plastic transmission gear is stripped out, though it is more likely the neutral gear assembly.

There is also the possibility that the condenser is bad, but that rarely happens.

try . . . turning it off for 10 minutes, unplugging it, and then plug it back in, pull the knob back out, and then rock it back on the back legs and let it drop an inch or two to see if that will bump start it.

A repair is between 20 bucks and 200, plus the service call, so it might be better to get it fixed.

Then again, it might be electronic, and I can't help you. You may have to get it exorcised.

Venezuela was centralized in Maduro, his head of the Militia, His security chief, and a network of generals who made the drugs and embargoed oil run on time to finance the military and the network of cartels that ran into Colombia - most of the drugs were being shipped to Europe, where I am told now that the cost of blow is unpleasantly high.
Snatching Maduro and blowing up the fastboats blew that one up.

Iran is decentralized in its "mosaic defense" and it is more like winkling out each bitter ender who is acting now like a warlord, each one.

If she chooses to stay in bed we support her. It is eerily following the exact same pattern of her mother & the same age.

I will go throw rocks at squirrels or something.

I spent an hour talking to #2 son who is the most like me and my father. Both sons are funny but this one, oh, boy. He's the one who could not sit next to me in church or at funerals as we think the same when something happens.

I was telling him about the Honey Boo Boo weak branch of family tree, recent sightings, and he was laughing. Then he asked if they will be at the future funeral and I said, "Oh, probably."

155 Personally, I don't think there is going to be a divorce. But...81 BILLION DOLLARS!!!

And lil Miss Bang Bang Thang won't see much (if any) of it-- her bosses in the CCP will, though.

136 "Texas Democrats just filed nearly 20 bills to impose SWEEPING new firearm restrictions — on the VERY FIRST DAY they could ‼️

Days after winning the Texas House and the governor's mansion for the first time in DECADES, they went STRAGIHT for Second Amendment rights.”

Best news I’ve heard tonight. Fresh on their victory they’re gonna start pissing the Mexicans off. Good.

And they didn’t take the Texas Senate, so none of these bills will go anywhere.

He’s been married to his wife, Lori, for 41 years.
As easily as he got into bed with this Chinese honeypot, I am sure this wasn’t the first time.
Women in Taiwan treat him like a rockstar whenever he goes over there.

So Lori deserves every penny, I’m sure.
I just hope she isn’t a raging leftist who’ll use that cash to be the next Laurene Jobs.

159 The Democrats file those clown-ass bills in the TX state house every year.

We are fortunate that the TX Senate kept their republican supermajority so none of that bullshit will go anywhere.

160 Woops-- I'd thought Huang married the honeypot...

My bad.

161 He would laugh and tell me to watch out for the Sheriff Deputies, though the first couple of times he made sure I wasn't serious.

My brothers and I have always reached a point where we are "normal." Aka, laughing inappropriately.

We are now seeing our very independent mother become our 95yr old grandmother. It is freaky, this same path she's taking.

He said he could hear her yelling in the background that, "I"m going NOWHERE" when an x-ray was mentioned. She'll complain of her pain scale being 8 while she's eating & watching tv laughing. It was explained to her in both the hospital & rehab.

We have no problem with her taking as many drugs as she wants, altho it is confusing she walked with PT in rehab (as grandmother did) & refuses now.

We also have no problem with her staying in bed.

While I hope I won't live this long (my husband and sons all say they can make this happen), she was 100% mentally competent a few weeks ago & no one is going to stop her from doing what she wants.

She was very jolly with her grandson (our boy) and great-grands yesterday on the phone, for example. hic

Yes I had wine today.

Odds of her not being an insane leftoid aren't great, lol.

That's the most expensive piece of ***** in world history.

I doubt it was worth it.

I doubt that he would have to give up that much
money, even though she was there for him from the beginning (they met at Ohio State). Mackenzie Bezos was with Amazon from before it started, and she got only a fraction (a big fraction) of Jeff's holdings.

>>Mackenzie Bezos was with Amazon from before it started, and she got only a fraction (a big fraction) of Jeff's holdings.

She got 34b in the divorce which was around 25pct of bezos stock holdings in AMZ.

Huang is worth about 162b, so his wife will probably get a similar 25pct or about 40b.

Again, that was one expensive piece of *****.
