Big Cats Cafe
A golden tiger, a snow white tiger,
a Bengal tiger, and a white tiger
An old vid: lions run to hug and kiss their old caregiver. Sassy snow leopard. Fixed: Now contains infinity percent more snow leopard. When you're on safari, you have to expect some cheetahs are going to get into your car. Baby tiger pounces on mom. Mother cat introduces her kittens to the dog. An "octopus tree" grows suspended above a trail. It's not the Octopus Tree in Oregon. Rollin' up to the cops wearing a Michael Myers mask. Dog slithers through a fountain. Dog slithers down a hill. Dog loves seeing the FedEx guy even more than the owners do. Compilation of older dogs meeting the new puppies. A little tough to watch but very poignant: A compilation of dogs grieving the fellow pets that have passed. Dog meets the new pupper. Caution: Falling trees. Baby elephant plays chase with dog until he gets frustrated and goes cryin' to mama. Steve Inman: A quick street beatdown for a skel who attacked a citizen's car. More street justice for car-assaulters. Classic street justice for antifa road pirates. The street tax paid for bothering people on the street is getting higher. Teaching some hooligans some manners. Some beatdowns for people who have earned it. Old man breaks out the pimp hand. Not Inman, but related: How Switzerland deals with Hamas street-blockers. Also related: Would-be arsonists and low-IQ criminals succeed only in setting themselves and their car on fire.

Seeing as there really hasn't been a genuinly funny comedy in well over a decade.
I've had this idea for a movie that takes place during the COVID era, it's kind of a mashup of It's A Mad Mad Mad World meets convoy meets Smokey and The Bandit, whereby all of these truckers have to race to California to pick up a MacGuffen and get it back to the east coast.
Daniel Day Lewis is in it in a comedic role, his driving partner is a midget, and there's a scene where they get drunk and he has to toss his partner into the truck.
I just want to see DDL tossing a midget.
This is definitely a film PTA would direct.

I wonder if that's who's paying him, and not the Mets. Baseball Reference says the Mets released him from his contract prior to the 2000 season. But that's confusing... how could they release him from the contract? From the team, sure, but the contract originally said they would keep paying him for however long it said.

Anyone remember back in 2006 when the Democrats, inexplicably, successfully campaigned on "torture" and "water boarding?"
Even mccain joined them in their obvious gaslighting.
They're trying to do that again with the Illegarinos and the prison in Florida, it appears.

Wait. You're telling me George Foster and Ellis Valentine were never going to be the 'men'? Who'd'a thunk it.
But I will say, I got to witness said success in '86. My friend had a Sunday plan. She got two World Series games. She took her Dad to Game 2. She took me to Game 6. Billy Buckner's knees.
The scoreboard in the middle of the 10th, with the Red Sox up 5-3, briefly flashed 'Congratulations Boston Red Sox'. My entire section was pissed. We all knew with the crazy Mets that season, it was never over 'til it was over. It wasn't, eiither.

"You want to listen to your players, too. Where do they want to play? Where are they gonna get excited to play and draw fans?" said Cunningham, 28.
Um, the WNBA does not draw fans anywhere. And hasn't for its entire existence.
"I do think that Miami would have been a great [location]. Nashville is an amazing city. Kansas City, amazing opportunity.
"... I'm not so sure what the thought process is there, but at the end of the day, you want to make sure that you're not expanding our league too fast. I think that that's also another thing.
"It's kind of a hard decision-making situation. But man, I don't know how excited people are to be going to Detroit or [Cleveland]."
Says the member of a team playing in... Indiana.
Also, no one is excited about people playing in the WNBA in general. Doesn't matter in what city it is.
Also, when it comes to a business that does not bring in any money at all for a city, and likely loses money, you take what cities are stupid enough to want a franchise.

Hey! Knock it off!
We got the Daily Double going. Mets fans and Rangers fans. I helped pay Gary Carter's salary. And Messier's. And . . .
I had seasons to the Rangers for 20 years. I live 4 subway stops from Shea. I used to ride my 10-speed to Shea when tickets went on sale and get 10-12 games a year. Then my friend got a Sunday plan, so I got those two seats every once in a while, too. Nice seats, 3rd base, mezzanine.
Went to Citifield twice with her. Never again. The prices are outrageous. And it's not a baseball game, it's an event.
I used to love doubleheaders.
In 1997, I had tickets for the second opening day, if you will. The official opening day game was rained out. My game now was an opening day doubleheader. You don't see that too often.

Quick Hits
New absurd Hamas jihadi propaganda drops:
This may surprise you, but the 33-year-old former "rapper" and jihadi communist Zohran Mamdani has about the same level of basic competence as Alexandria Donkey-Chompers. He claims he will pay for his "government run grocery stores" using "subsidies" that are currently paid to for-profit grocery stores. But the government isn't paying these stores money -- they're merely giving them tax breaks. And these tax breaks are offered to accomplish the left-wing goal of opening grocery stores in the left-wing hallucination of "food deserts." There is no money just sitting around waiting to be spent.
When Zohran Mamdani, the New York Democratic mayoral nominee, defends his idea of socialist grocery stores, he says he can pay for them by cutting city subsidies to "corporate grocery stores." This claim is based on a basic misunderstanding of the city's current grocery subsidies. The money he plans to use to pay for his city-owned grocery stores is money the city doesn't have. Specifically, he wrongly believes that the city is spending $140 million to subsidize private grocery stores, and he thinks he can take half of that money and use it to build government groceries. .. According to Mamdani, his five grocery stores would cost $60 million. "That should be compared to the city's existing program called City FRESH, where they are set to spend $140 million, subsidizing corporate grocery stores ... So we would take less than half of the money the city is already set to spend, and actually deliver results," he said. What is this FRESH program? The Food Retail Expansion to Support Health is a bundle of tax breaks and special regulatory relief for grocery stores that open up in so-called food deserts: poor neighborhoods where the city has concluded residents don't have adequate access to produce and other healthy foods. The subsidy includes some tax breaks: building taxes stay at the pre-improvement level for a few years, land taxes are abated, there are some tax breaks for building the store, and some of the transfer taxes are cut. (The store still collects and remits sales tax, pays payroll taxes, pays corporate income taxes, et cetera.) The FRESH program can also include some zoning and regulatory relief. The tax breaks have saved the grocery stores a few million dollars each year.If you take those tax breaks away, these stores in the "food deserts" will probably close because companies have determined it's a money-losing proposition to open up stores there. Which is fine by me, but ending the tax breaks does not suddenly make money appear in the government's bank accounts. The Democrat-Media Party keeps claiming that Mamdani isn't a communist just as much as Biden wasn't senile. You will not be surprised to learn that the Democrat-Media Party is lying. Just the News:
The Cheapfake Media is claiming that it was just some youthful exuberance that has led Mamdani to repeatedly call for the seizing of the "means of production" and delivering them over to the proletariat. He was 30 when he said these things. He's now 33. The Democrat-Media Party is also trying to claim that "seizing the means of production" Akshually Isn't Communist at All. It's just seizing the money and equipment of the exploitative capitalist class and turning them over to the revolutionary proletariat to be held communally, that's all. Where are you seeing "communism" in this, Bigot? Is it because his face is slightly more brownish than yours, Racist? Trump's DOJ is suing California for its insurrectionary blocking of federal agents from carrying out their appointed duties.
Zohran Mamdani, the self-described "democratic socialist" and presumptive Democratic Party nominee to be mayor of New York City, has been supported by so-called "fact-checkers" and legacy media in denying that he is a Communist -- but his oft-repeated past comments strongly contradict his denials. Mamdani is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), but he denies that he is a Communist. An investigation by Just the News shows that in tweets, speeches, and affiliations, Mamdani, at his core, holds a strong affinity for straight-up Communism: praising and campaigning with a Marxist state senator in New York; declaring that NYC needed a mayor just like a famously young Indian mayor who was a member of an explicitly Marxist and Communist Party; praising the 1917 Russian Revolution which led to the overthrow of the Czar and, soon, the establishment of the Soviet Union at the cost of millions of lives; arguing about the need to "seize the means of production" in a reference to a core Marxist principle; praising famous radical Communist figures; and much more. After the win by Mamdani on Tuesday, President Trump weighed in by declaring Mamdani "a 100% Communist Lunatic." ... The self-described fact-checking website PolitiFact declared last week that "Zohran Mamdani is favored to win the NYC mayoral primary. Claims he's a communist are False." The outlet said that "some politicians and social media posts falsely labeled him a communist" and that "experts say he hasn't espoused key tenets of communism, such as government takeover of industry and private property." PolitiFact also alleged that "accusing Democrats of being communists or communist sympathizers is a frequent misleading attack line by some Republicans" and that "it is a red scare tactic that has existed in U.S. politics for decades, but has been transformed by the success of some democratic socialists." ... The denials notwithstanding, Mamdani's own words may very well reveal what is behind the facade. Mamdani has repeatedly praised his fellow "comrades" in the DSA, and seems to have been especially close with New York State Sen. Julia Salazar, who endorsed him and with whom he campaigned during his 2020 run for the New York state assembly, and whom he also praised and thanked for her endorsement when he was running for mayor in 2025. Salazar is a self-described "Democratic Socialist" who has repeatedly declared that she is an avowed Marxist. Mamdani made it clear in 2020 that he was well aware of Salazar's Marxist views -- and strongly suggested he agreed with them, meaning Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour is not Mamdani's only controversial close associate. ...
[Salazar] tweeted that "I'm a Marxist" in January 2019, and tweeted again in April 2020 that "I have a Marxist worldview." Salazar tweeted again that "to be clear, as ever, I'm a Marxist" in October 2023. Salazar also played a role in helping Mamdani win during his 2020 race for New York state assembly. Mamdani repeatedly touted being endorsed by Salazar in his 2020 race, and the two collaborated on issues and virtually campaigned together in the lead up to the election. ... Mamdani has also repeatedly praised famous Communist figures and leaders. A tweet by him from December 2020 was especially striking, as it suggested that he believed NYC needed a Communist mayor -- a job he would pursue himself just a few years later while denying that he is a Marxist. "them: so what kind of mayor does nyc need right now? me:" Mamdani tweeted as he shared a Twitter thread from the Indian Puducherry State Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) -- or the CPI(M). "Comrade Arya Rajendran, age 21, new Mayor of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. She will be the youngest mayor of a major city in the world. Here she leads a detachment of Red Volunteers in @CPIMKerala. #CPIM #LeftAlternative #Communist," the Indian Communist Party tweeted. The profile for that branch of the Communist Party included a hammer and sickle emoji in its Twitter description. ... When Mamdani tweeted in June 2020 that NYC should pull down a statue of Christopher Columbus, among the three options he suggested for statues to replace Columbus was a famous Italian Communist. "In 2017, NYC ordered a review of public works constituting "symbols of hate" for potential removal. But a statue of Columbus remains in Astoria, in defiance of the values of humanity, empathy & justice that we stand for. It has to go. Sign the petition," Mamdani tweeted. He then ran a Twitter poll, asking, "The Italian-American community has a rich history in Astoria. Who should we honor instead? Tony Bennett (Astoria native, music icon) Walter Audisio (Communist partisan, killed Mussolini) Sacco & Vanzetti (Executed due to anti-Italian sentiment)." ...
Mamdani has repeatedly posted approvingly about the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the fall of Czar Nicholas II, which soon ushered in Communist rule in Russia and the establishment of the brutal Communist-led Soviet Union. Mamdani tweeted in March 2023 -- and then again with the exact same language in March 2024 -- praise for the 1917 February Revolution in Russia, which led to the abdication and murder of the Romanov family and the Bolshevik takeover. "On March 8, 1917, women textile workers in Russia organized a massive strike, calling for 'bread and peace,' an end to war and the fall of the Czar. A week later, he abdicated. Women received the right to vote. The 1st #InternationalWomensDay in Russia was a revolution," Mamdani tweeted in both 2023 and 2024. An analysis by History.com made it clear that this February Revolution -- named such because the Russians used the Julian calendar -- led almost directly to Vladimir Lenin's dictatorship in Russia. ... Mamdani spoke of "the end goal of seizing the means of production" in 2021 while he was a New York state assemblyman. Karl Marx's book Das Kapital repeatedly uses the term "means of production," which has become a central pillar of Marxist theory. "Capital is dead labor, that vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks," is just one example of the phrase appearing in Marx's work. ... Momdani seemed to have previewed this sentiment in a December 2020 tweet. The Democratic Party had tweeted that "the Biden-Harris administration is committed to rebuilding an economy that welcomes everyone as full participants." That didn't go far enough for Mamdani, who responded by saying that "if we want everyone to be full participants in the economy, we need worker ownership of the means of production." Mamdani hasn't just used the "Comrade" moniker for his Marxist ally Julia Salazar, but it is rather a term of endearment he repeatedly uses with his fellow DSA members and allies. The term "comrade" has a long -- but not exclusive -- association with Communist movements. Soviet Union dictator Joseph Stalin was referred to as "Comrade Stalin" and Chinese Communist Party dictator Mao Zedong called himself "Comrade Mao" -- among many such examples. When Mamdani spoke at the YDSA winter conference in February 2021, he referred to the other elected socialist officials as his "comrades." Mamdani loves to call his fellow leftwing and socialist candidates his "comrades" on Twitter. As one example, he tweeted his congratulations to Lee J. Carter in November 2019 when the Virginia socialist won reelection in the Virginia House of Delegates.
The DOJ lawsuit targets Los Angeles' sanctuary city ordinances, claiming they directly violate federal law and enable illegal aliens to evade deportation.
The complaint links Los Angeles' refusal to cooperate with immigration enforcement to recent "rioting, looting, and vandalism" that forced the deployment of the National Guard and U.S. Marines.
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said the city's policies "contributed to a lawless and unsafe environment," adding that the Constitution "prohibits the City from picking and choosing which federal laws will be enforced."
FBI chief Kash Patel says he will shut down the J. Edgar Hoover Building and move FBI operations to the Ronald Reagan Building.
FBI Director Kash Patel is shutting down the J. Edgar Hoover building and moving its headquarters across Washington to the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, with President Donald Trump touting the move, telling Fox News Digital that the FBI "will finally have the kind of building they deserve." Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a Tuesday memo Patel sent to the FBI, notifying employees of the relocation, and stressing that it is "most cost-effective way" to serve the American people, Fox News Digital has learned. Patel, in May, first hinted that the bureau would be reallocating its workforce around the country, and would move agents out of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, which opened in 1975. The FBI and the General Services Administration (GSA) have been looking at options for a new FBI headquarters for more than a decade, including locations near D.C. in Maryland and Virginia. "Team, the FBI Headquarters will be moving down the street to the Ronald Reagan Building, and the Hoover building will be shut down," Patel wrote in the memo, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital. Trump told Fox News Digital that the Ronald Reagan Building is "a wonderful building," and said the FBI is "a wonderful group of people. "The FBI will finally have the kind of building they deserve," the president told Fox News Digital. "Congratulations to Kash Patel, Dan Bongino and all the great people at the FBI."At least they're not going with the Wray/Biden plan of spending billions of taxpayer dollars on a new, completely-undeserved Palace of Justice.

Oh, I'm sure the money is still flowing through their other, numerous funding sources across the federal government.
What happened to DOGE doing a full audit of the fed gov, by the way? USAID is a tiny little blip on the radar, I thought we were opening the books on the entitlements and Defense. That's where the real money is, and where it would be easiest to hide gigantic slush funds.

The reason there are few grocery stores in bad neighborhoods is because
a) there isnt a huge demand. A lot of people in poor neighborhoods just prefer to eat garbage. I can't really explain it, but it does seem to be the case
and
b) the shoplifting / armed robberies are out of control and make it difficult to make money in those neighborhoods.
For example, if you go up to 125th st and check out the Whole Foods up there, you'll notice that the place looks like a fucking casino with the number of security guards and cameras everywhere, but they still have rampant theft.

I don't know, and I don't know how many of them are illegals. Think about it -- if someone showed up illegally at the border in 2022, she very likely has at least 2 or 3 US-born kids now. Or if someone is here on a visa, same story. And we have a wide open legal immigration system as well, lets not forget, that lets in millions of people a year.
For context, the population of New Hampshire is 1.4 million. We're issuing about that many green cards annually.

100% agree. It is happening here and we just had a president say explicitly he has the right to expel anyone from the country that he sees fit "deport". And deport doesn't mean just leave the country, he is funding prison camps around the world that those people he sees as his enemies will spend the rest of their days on this earth at, no trial, no charges, just disappeared to a foreign prison indefinitely
Now we are supporting gun-humping ammosexuals. That'll help us gain votes.

It's infuriating. And yeah, yeah, I know, NYC has always been a bit like this.
But it is noticeably worse since COVID. Like crazily worse.
The homeless problem is also out of control. I have to deal with screaming schizophrenics at least 10% of the time I take the subway, but (assuming I leave my apartment), I don't go a single day without seeing homeless people who should be in a mental hospital or somewhere other than sleeping on the streets.

The last time I was in NYC I was a truck driver and that was 20 years ago. When I stopped in some places in the Bronx and Brooklyn the cops would pull up behind my truck to make sure nothing was stolen when I went inside to make a delivery. I once told a couple of cops in Queens that my truck was empty and they didn't need to watch it, they asked me if I wanted my truck to be there when I got done with my paperwork. They stayed.

I would guess most if not all of it is flowing through different cut outs and NGO's under different memo lines in different budgets.
Not that I'm against shutting down USAID. It absolutely should have been shut down back in the 1970's after it became clear that USAID was the cut out used to spin up wars all over Indochina. But I guarantee it is far from the only funding source of getting fed dollars to deep state-sponsored activities.

Life will not be worth living in the world that will come after Hitler and National Socialism.
Therefore, I have also brought the children here with me. They are too precious for the life that will come after us; a merciful God will understand me when I myself help them to a merciful deliverance. You will live on, and for you I have but one request; never forget that you are a German. Do nothing against your honour and take care that you do nothing with your life that will have made our death purposeless.

Which of course doesn't really parse out if, as should be the case, you're policing USAID as you should be in terms of alignment, but whatever. Doesn't really track with the way things were way back, but I strongly suspect things went waaaay off the rails starting with Obama and the nutcase he put in charge as administrator.
Of course you've got the inherent problem of the quality and mindset of State personnel, but that's an old challenge Rubio faces anyway. Basically you can count on the funding for Brazilian transgender operas being gone, but I'd expect African river blindness programs and disaster relief to proceed much as before.

Did he say that?
If so, now I think he's a plant.
Hear me out: the biggest (and I mean biggest) complaint of the rich people in NYC is that all new apartment buildings need to have "affordable housing".
So if you want to live in a $8,000 a month apartment with a parking garage and pool on the roof, and that building has been built in the last 10 years or whatever, something like 10% of your building will be "affordable housing" types. Now, in some contexts thats okay -- NYC is weird with how they define poor (my friend makes $150k a year and is one of those apartments). But usually that means you have ghetto people partying in your pool 24/7.
If this chucklehead is saying he's going to eliminate that and segregate the poors in to projects, the rich will be over the moon about it.

"Martyr Babies" goes all the way back to the PLO and Fatah and other Islamist expressions of terrorism. Sunni and Shi'a. The Sunnis even make cute little cammies and fake bomb vests for their kids.
Besides, the US has seen this before - namely the Hitler Jugend and Japanese school children armed with bamboo spears and rudimentary explosives. In the case of Germany, US GIs did what they had to do. For the Japanese kids and their mothers, the US XXI Bomber Command fire bombed every major city in Japan followed by two nukes, which ended that business.

Yeah, yeah, but the bigger picture here is that USAID was set up like a money laundering operation. We have no idea if the money was used for transgender operas in India (as the line item said), or if it was used to fund black lives matter. The money disperses in to a web of non profits and becomes difficult if not impossible to follow.
So instead of the line item being "transgender operas" and coming from USAID, change it to "assistance for minority farmers" and throw it in the Dept of Ag budget, and send it through a similar web of NGO's, and it ends up with black lives matter at the end of the day anyways.
That's the real scandal here. And that's why I'm not sure shutting down USAID will have any long term impact on that money laundering structure at all.

Who had an Irish lilt?
I took that as a quote from 'Ronin'. Dierdre was the character's name. It was from her first meeting with the mercenary team; Sean Bean (posing as a former SAS soldier) asked something like
'And what are we to infer from your charming Irish lilt?'
And she just batted it back to him. 'Ye can infer whatever ye like'.

Considering NYC is a "sanctuary city", I doubt it will stop being stupid. If Mandami wins, consider NYC conquered by the Marxist Islamist left, similar to all the cities in the UK which have been conquered and are now controlled with Muslim mayors/leaders. Similar to how the Marxist left has taken over Minnesota and California and Colorado.
There is going to be no one left in NYC to save it, considering the Marxist policies are going to drive out anyone with any sanity. Kiss NYC goodbye if he wins. And that will be a massive victory for the Islamists, just 24 years after they attacked arguably the USA's greatest city, now they would taken control of it.

You know apartheid ended in 1994: 31 years ago. How do young white South Africans bear any responsibility for a system they had no part in? I think of Serpentza from YouTube or Elon Musk himself. They no longer belong in the country they were born in! Modern day white South Africans were supposed to be forgiven for the crimes of the past: they had national commissions to do this. But instead it’s all “Kill the Boer,” and “Seize the land!”
But the people they give the land to after the owners have been killed, can’t even farm! South Africa is setting itself up for famine! But we shouldn’t give asylum to white South African farmers just because they are being persecuted for the color of their skin! You do know the Zulus are the recent interlopers, right? The Dutch settlers got there 400 years ago. The Zulus invaded from the north in the late 1800s. If anybody deserves to be called the original inhabitants of South Africa it would be the Hottentots!

The Fake Republicans in the Senate Screwed Us and the Fake Republicans in the House Are Complaining They Didn't Screw Us Enough
Here's how our liberal "Republican" Senators screwed us on the Big Bloated Bill:
Changes to phase-outs of clean energy tax credits in the bill remained central to the final hours of debate among Republicans, as hard-line conservatives have called for strict, swift cuts and more centrist lawmakers pushed for extended wind-downs to avoid major market and investment disruptions. The now-passed Senate bill includes steep cuts for these tax credits, ending incentives for wind and solar projects placed in service, meaning operational and plugged into the grid, by the end of 2027. Moderates were able to squeeze in a carve-out allowing projects that begin construction less than one year after the bill is enacted to claim the credit. Any projects that start construction after that time frame must be operational and in service by 2027 to be eligible.This is a fake cut: they have rigged these "cuts" so that no money will be cut at all.
An unnamed Republican congressman sounds off about the "shit sandwich" the Senate RINOs are trying to force on the House. But unfortunately he's not calling for more cuts, but for fewer. He objects to the Senate cutting Medicaid.
Alex Epstein
@AlexEpstein Senate fails to terminate Green New Scam The Senate bill *looks like* it has a 2027 "placed in service" cutoff for new solar/wind subsidies. But one last-minute paragraph makes it worthless--because projects making a recoverable 5% investment in the next 12 months are exempt! The idea of a 2027 "placed in service" cutoff was that new subsidies would actually end during the Trump administration. But under the last-minute carveout, Big Green has 12 months to initiate as many subsidized projects as it wants using the insanely-easy-to-meet "construction" threshold. (All you need to do is commit 5% of expected project cost to buying re-sellable assets like solar panels.) Once they declare "construction"--e.g., in July 2026--they'll have 4 years (e.g., July 2030) to "place in service." And then some of those projects, e.g., most wind projects, will get 10 years of subsidies. So we'll still have wind subsidies on Donald Trump's 94th birthday! Here's how much worse the Senate bill just got: * Two days ago: "Placed in service" by 12-31-27--with new subsidized solar/wind projects stopping very quickly, and Trump being able to let subsidies truly end. * Today: "Placed in service" by JULY 2030--with new subsidized solar/wind projects absolutely spamming the rid and ripping off taxpayers like never before, and Trump having no control over whether the subsidies end. The current Senate bill is arguably worse than the original Senate Finance one. At least that bill decreased solar/wind subsidies starting in 2026 to 60%. The current bill just increased them to 100%. The current bill is a solar/wind lobbyist's dream. It does not terminate the Green New Scam in any way, shape or form. It absolutely perpetuates it. And offensively so, I might add, by keeping the "placed in service" cutoff language so many people courageously fought for, then totally undoing it with a single last-minute paragraph that makes it worthless. If the Senate wanted to extend the Green New Scam it should have said so, not insulted our intelligence by trying to bury the extension in one sneaky little paragraph. PS Several Senators have already told me they didn't know about or understand this last-minute paragraph. If that's the case they should do whatever they can to fix the situation.
Reese GormanThe Hill talks about the Medicaid cuts in the Senate version of the Big Bloated Bill.
@reesejgorman Vibe check in the House from one GOP member: "The Senate took a bill that had a year's worth of work in it - and in a month turned it into a shit sandwich. They're trying to jam the House, because they think they're this sacred body. In reality they're sending back a bill that members of my Congress can't defend because they don't understand Medicaid like they need to."
Senate Republicans on Tuesday passed the largest cuts to Medicaid since the program began in the 1960s, a move that would erode the social safety net and cause a spike in the number of uninsured Americans over the next decade. The tax and spending bill is projected to cost more than $3 trillion during that time, but it would be partially paid for with about $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid. Almost 12 million lower-income Americans would lose their health insurance by 2034, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). It still needs to pass the House again, where some moderate Republicans have expressed concerns about the cuts.The Washington Examiner's fact check says that Medicaid isn't being cut, only the rate of growth is being slowed. But it does impose work requirements on able-bodied adults without children who were allowed to enroll in Medicaid by Obama.
Senate Republicans are defending their changes to federal Medicaid spending in their final push to pass President Donald Trump's budget reconciliation bill before Independence Day, arguing that the bill does not technically cut the health insurance program for disabled and low-income people. Republican leadership has insisted for weeks that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is not primarily a healthcare reform package, but reductions in Medicaid spending have been a crucial piece to recoup some of the costs from the sweeping tax cuts that take center stage in the legislation. ... Democrats have waged a multimonth campaign against what Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has called the "big ugly betrayal" by saying that the bill will decimate coverage for low-income people. ... "We are fiscally making Medicaid more sound," Marshall said. "It's only in Washington, D.C., that you increase spending at a rate faster than inflation and you call it a cut." Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) posted on X on Sunday evening that Medicaid spending has increased by more than 200% since 2008 and by roughly 51% since 2019, largely due to increases in enrollment from the Medicaid expansion population of able-bodied adults without dependents. The Congressional Budget Office's projected federal spending on Medicaid and Obamacare increased by $1.9 trillion, increasing 25% from 2021 to 2025, according to conservative think tank the Paragon Health Institute. Robing Rudowitz, vice president at the healthcare think tank KFF and Medicaid policy specialist, told the Washington Examiner that the CBO's analysis of the most up-to-date version of the bill "will reduce federal Medicaid spending over the next ten years by about $1 trillion relative to expected federal spending without the legislation." Much of the spending cuts come from imposing work requirements on able-bodied adults without dependents and changing federal reimbursement rates for the Medicaid expansion population. Medicaid eligibility was extended to able-bodied adults without dependents under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, better known as Obamacare.No wonder that craven RINO congressman spoke anonymously, and to the left-leaning The Hill. Unrelated: What's a Cuck Chair?
What's a cuck chair? You might have seen the term online, often in jokes about hotel rooms. But is there more to it? A "cuck chair" is a slang term for a chair facing a bed, linked to the idea of passivity. The word "cuck" comes from "cuckold," an old term for a man with an unfaithful wife. In this post, you'll learn the history behind the term, its cultural impact, and why the meme continues to spread. ...You'll want it light so you can move it to the closet at your convenience.
The term "cuck chair" has an unusual yet fascinating history, deeply rooted in language evolution, cultural shifts, and internet meme culture. While it may seem like a recent phenomenon, its origins trace back centuries to the words "cuck" and "cuckold." ... In contemporary online debates, the term often symbolizes perceived emasculation or powerlessness, particularly in discussions surrounding masculinity and vulnerability. This usage appears frequently in social media, forums, and satirical commentary.
Design Features of a Cuck Chair Traditional Design Historically, cuck chairs were designed for practicality and affordability, often found in homes of the less affluent. Their defining characteristics include: Armless Design A simple structure without armrests, making it easier to move and reposition. Low-Seated Typically sits lower than standard chairs, emphasizing a subtle, passive seating posture.
Portable & Lightweight Designed for convenience rather than comfort, allowing for easy relocation.
These features made cuck chairs affordable and functional. They were often used as secondary seating, not meant for extended relaxation but rather temporary use in different settings.

From the minute their feet touch ground in DC as elected buffoons, all they do is plan for their next election and start pocketing money. In the event they lose, my understanding is they get to keep the campaign money. There may be a few who don't, but I doubt it.

Still keeps in contact with some of the actors from 'Aliens'. Sigoruny Weaver for one.

Though, I might add, While the GOP stalwarts may hate this bill, Democrats have turned into screeching amoebas over this bill, in that they're screaming senselessly into the void without anything which resembles rational thought.
It's really amazing how bad this bill truly is, yet, Democrats still hate it.

...EB-5's are also, as you may guess, a gigantic fraud. But they're a visa class that seems to be popular with our Chinese friends. They pool a bunch of money to build a condominium in Queens, "save or create" hundreds of jobs on paper (with their cousins construction company as the contractor, faking the numbers), then they sell the condos, cash out if they can and they're all on the path to citizenship!
Of course, the condos are built like Chinese condos, and the unsuspecting owners end up suing the shit out of the entity that built / owns the condos, but theres no money left there anyways.

There was never a doubt in my mind that those Reprobates would never make personal sacrificess in enacting cuts in spending. At least half the budget is fraud, corruption and grift. 80% is not even Constitutionally authorized, they just take it because we haven't stopped them.
Knowing that demons inhabit Babylon DC, I'll take the permanent tax cuts.

He's not naive. He's either appeasing the Chinese, or he's threatening us. "fine, I'll just take my cars and rockets and move to China if you won't give me money!"
Either way, he's an asshoe. I'm dropping this Tweet of his again in the comments to remind everyone who Elon really is:
"The reason I'm in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B, Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend."
America is only strong due to him and other immigrants. That's how he feels about you and me. In fact, he declared war on us.

My brother had a heart attack at work up in a bucket truck cutting trees off of power lines after a storm. His company carried him on their insurance long after it was legal to do so and when that ran out he had to go on medicaid and SS disability. Even though he wants to go back to work Social security disability will not clear him to work so he has to stay on medicaid.
When you pay taxes from your paycheck part of that goes to fund medicaid.

Kind of funny how no one knows whats in the bill theyre voting on and no one can identify the names of the people who wrote the bill either.
It just shows up out of nowhere, everyone lights their hair on fire (WE MUST PASS THIS BILL!) or (WE MUST STOP THIS BILL!) then the bill passes and we get to find out what was in it years later when we've all moved on.

Kristi Noem: We Are Investigating CNN for Promoting an App That Allows Radicals and Criminals to Track Indivdual ICE Agents' Movements
The Democrat-Media Party's browshirts are attacking ICE agents and posting pictures of their family members along with threats to harm them, and CNN decides to advertise an app that allows antifa, trantifa, and assorted other criminals to track them.
Wesley Hunt
@WesleyHuntTX Is CNN pushing an app that helps DOXX ICE agents in real time?! The app "ICEBLOCK" tracks the movements of federal agents and has the potential to put their lives at risk, and CNN is running a "story," on it. Will Apple and Google keep this in their app stores? Will Congress act as fast to ban this as they did with TikTok? Because if exposing American law enforcement to danger doesn't raise red flags, what will?
Unreal. CNN is now promoting an app which tracks the movement of ICE agents to warn illegals.
— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) June 30, 2025
ICE agents face a 500% increase in assault and threats.
CNN knows exactly what they’re doing. pic.twitter.com/qgFLHq9LSv
Trump also added that CNN "may be prosecuted" over its bogus Iran disinformation. That's just silly. I assume he meant "we may sue him for defamation" or something, but that would also be pretty silly. Trump also says he'll be watching the "communist" Zohran Mamdani very closely. "We'll have to arrest him," Trump says, if the communist stays true to his declaration that he'll block ICE from arresting illegals in NYC.
The White House is looking into possible criminal charges against CNN after it published a report about an app allowing users to track Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in their area.
President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem discussed the matter with reporters at the grand opening of a Florida detention facility known as "Alligator Alcatraz." A reporter brought up border czar Tom Homan's assertion that CNN should be prosecuted for essentially promoting the app to its readers. "We're working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that, because what they're doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations," Noem said. "We're going to actually go after them and prosecute them with the partnership of [Attorney General Pam Bondi] if we can, because what they're doing, we believe, is illegal."
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed a bizarre and sickening account Tuesday of how federal agents nabbed a cannibal illegal migrant who started to eat his own arms during a deportation flight. Noem shared the disturbing anecdote while visiting the "Alligator Alcatraz" deportation camp in the Everglades alongside President Trump. She used the anecdote to argue that federal agents are targeting the worst of the worst illegal migrants in the US. "The other day I was talking to some Marshals that had been partnering with ICE," Noem said. "They said that they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home and while they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself, and they had to get him off and get him medical attention."
"These are the kind of deranged individuals that are on our streets in America that we're trying to target and get out of our country because they are so deranged, they don't belong here," she added.
Kristi Noem says a cannibal who had been detained started to eat himself after being put on a plane.

Again. Dominion Day. 12 pack opened.
I'm finally not homeless. And a homeowner. I'm taking a month off but slowly cleaning the house and rejoining society. And maybe watching "Black Adam."
Who the hell is "Black Adam?" And I actually know who Kraven and Madame Web were.
By the way. Dominion Day and beer.
And first day not potentially homeless. Sweet.

No one seemed to notice it was still in until Schmidt said it was. The section is apparently in there, the final version passed by the Senate.
The parliamentarian did some damage in the end, but less than reported. Also, with the need to bring the two versions into alignment, some of what got left out might get back in anyway.
But starting from here is actually pretty strong.

You'd be surprised. It's rare, but, for example Austin Harrouff, a former college student, was involved in a criminal murder case in 2016 where he killed a Florida couple, John Stevens and Michelle Mishcon Stevens, and attempted to eat one of the victims' faces. Harrouff pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and a judge ultimately accepted a plea deal that sent him to a mental health facility instead of prison.
During the attack, Harrouff was biting chunks off John Stevens' face, and it took several officers, an electric stun gun, and a police dog to subdue him.
That Chapter is a true crime YouTube channel and has a good analysis of it. https://tinyurl.com/y7mwp6tk
One of the few times where I'd 100% let the guy off for an insanity plea, despite how horrific the attack was.

@SenEricSchmitt·
53mSo to reiterate: The "ban Medicaid for illegal immigrants" amendment failed because it didn't reach the 60-vote threshold—but the original ban was already in the bill.
The bill that the Senate just passed.
Basically, the Republicans forced the Democrats to put their vote on the record for a vanity amendment that meant nothing because the ban is already in the bill.

It's why they always threatened to fire "cops and teachers" at the local level if you don't agree to pay more in property taxes. Or why they allow the roads to go to shit. You say "seriously, there is nothing else to cut in the budget other than cops and teachers?" and they will tell you with a straight face that it's either that, or they get rid of road maintenance or plowing
Town near mine had used "emergency" COVID funds to hire a bunch of permanent employees. When the state finally pulled those funds they asked for a 25% tax increase or else they'd have to fire a bunch of teachers.
Some people looked into it and noticed that over 10 years the number of kids were down by about 1/3. The reaction? What does that have to do with how much we need to spend on the schools?!?
And they found things in the budget like a new $100k salary "climate change engineer". And nope, couldn't cut that position either.

Yeah Oregon just had a HUGE tax increase for "transportation" and it finally failed in the legislature. The governor responded by saying she had to fire 600 DMV workers which is like a third of the staff. Oregon has a strange law in which if they pull in more revenue in a given year than the budget requires, then taxpayers automatically get a "kicker" back in their taxes the next year. They have one almost every year, but somehow still are always out of money.

Yeah this is getting the Admin "Big Mad". Pam Bondi got real upset and Tom Homan says they should sue CNN for reporting on it.
Hopefully this generates a "Streisand effect"
ICE thugs are rounding up people indiscriminately on the street. I seriously doubt when they jump out of a van and start tackling people at the Home Depot parking lot, they're targeting specific individuals with specific deportation orders.
This is a dragnet, it's unconstitutional and unAmerican.
The issue with these is that scumbags end up bombarding the system with fake records. My snooping in the Conservative sub confirms that people will 100% make malicious false reports.

She played up the connection in a lot of later roles, with a good bit of humor.

Or jobs. School. Organized Sports.
Being Canadian. I am a second class jogger for not taking the knee. That's what Canada Day means to me.

A lot of questions like, "so what gives us the power to second-guess the Commander in Chief" when it comes to war and national defense.
The ACLUs ouroboros response, since the SCOTUS took up the injunction, there must be some authority for courts to intervene--filing suit grants you the power to ... file the suit?

Not quite yet. John MacArthur is still preaching as well as a number of other high profile conservative preachers. Your concern is important, but continue to pray for revival - Psalm 85 is a good one for this and was prayed by an Episcopal minister in September 1774 at the second Continental Congress.

During the Chimp Era of raising two toddler sons, one once left complet dental imprints on his big brother's bare shoulder in their playroom. The crime of the century? Big brother stepped on his quilt's arms. I did not know his quilt had arms until that day. I punished the one not screaming in pain. The bad toddler was wearing a diaper and I doubt it fazed him.
If he was a bit older and I am pretty confident he could have ripped flesh, as he was only 2yrs old and did not have the python jaw strength yet.
This concludes the scientific reason I agree with garrett.

I am referring to a trend discovered in the sizes of skeletal remains dating to the introduction of agriculture. Before agriculture, the remains are fewer and far between, suggesting less people in general, but, on average larger in size. After agriculture, there are more remains, suggesting more people, but the skeletons are typically smaller than before. I think the explanation proffered was that agriculture can support more people in a given region, but growing up on a diet of mainly millet seed, say, for ancient China, instead of a diet of meat and gathered vegetables, leads to a scrawnier specimen of humanity. This hypothesis might be skewed because the older skeletal remains date from an earlier time and may just be harder to find. As far as modern day giants, look how the average size of people in Japan increased after WWII when the Japanese had access to better nutrition and modern antibiotics. This is only one of many, many reasons I wish my late wife were here. If I could, I would just turn to her and get her view on the matter.

As the families matured, the children (now on an American diet) were ALWAYS taller than their parents.
Frequently, the daughters were even taller than their fathers.
Genetics does matter on human "sizes", but diet also matters a great deal.

Poll: Thomas Massie Would Lose to a Republican Challenger?
Thomas Massie votes against all spending bills because he wants to be able to fundraise off of that questionable honor.
And now Trump and Musk are on opposite sides of Massie's reelection. Musk wants the House to vote against the Big Bloated Bill, and Trump wants them to vote in favor of it. Musk says he will support Massie if he's primaried:Tesla CEO and former Trump administration special employee Elon Musk says he'll back Rep. Thomas Massie in his 2026 primary race after President Donald Trump vowed to fund a primary challenger for the Kentucky Republican. "Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth," Musk, who led the administration's Department of Government Efficiency, posted Monday on X. Former Michigan GOP Rep. Justin Amash replied to Musk, asking whether he'd support Massie after he came out against Trump's "big beautiful bill" over concerns of it adding to the deficit. "I will," Musk responsded.Trump is highlighting a new poll showing that Massie is on thin ice. Not just for the budget dispute, but for opposing Trump's strike on Iran.
Hey, it's a slow news day. Give me a break. I've got to put up anything close to newsy.
Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie is losing support among Republican primary voters in his own district, a new Kaplan Strategies poll shows. He now trails challenger Nicole Lee Ethington as voters turn on him for opposing major parts of President Trump's agenda. Key Details: Only 19% of likely GOP voters in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District say they would vote to reelect Massie no matter who challenges him -- a number that drops to 14% if Trump endorses an opponent. In a head-to-head matchup, Massie trails Ethington 31% to 19%, with a majority of voters still undecided. Massie's unfavorable rating stands at 62%, while Trump's favorability among respondents hits 89%. Diving Deeper: Congressman Thomas Massie is entering his 2026 reelection bid with little margin for error, according to a new poll from Kaplan Strategies released Monday. The poll, conducted June 23--24 among 368 likely Republican primary voters in Kentucky's 4th District, shows Massie lagging well behind challenger Nicole Lee Ethington in early support -- and facing sharp disapproval over several key votes. Ethington, a registered nurse, currently leads Massie 31% to 19% in a hypothetical primary matchup. A significant 50% of voters remain undecided, but the underlying numbers signal deep dissatisfaction with Massie's record. Just 23% of respondents view him favorably, compared to a commanding 62% who view him unfavorably. President Donald Trump, by contrast, enjoys 89% favorability in the same poll -- and a Trump endorsement would drop Massie's support to just 14%. The poll highlights a growing rift between Massie's libertarian-leaning approach and the prevailing MAGA sentiment in the GOP base. According to Kaplan Strategies, large majorities of voters expressed concern with Massie's past votes: 72% say they're less likely to support him because he opposed Trump's tax cuts and budget, 69% disapprove of his vote against the Take it Down Act, which would criminalize deepfake revenge porn, 58% are less likely to vote for him due to his opposition to Trump's pro-Israel policy stance.

The high water mark of people actually caring about the budget was probably 2012.
And then Obama won, spending continued out of control, covid happened, spending went wild, Biden got elected, spending went even wilder, and the country still isn't bankrupt.
And I don't think 2012 really meant that people truly cared about the deficit. It was more of a partisan thing to attack Obama with.

[A] political crisis shaking Spain, where the Socialist government (PSOE) of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is on the edge of a cliff. This time, it’s not just lies and sex — it’s an alleged corruption scheme involving kickbacks received by top Sánchez advisors in exchange for political favors, mostly related to public works contracts. The scandal has reached deep into the PSOE leadership and continues to unfold.

Technically.
But as most GOP voters have discovered for 30 years, no necessary connection between the two. Plus, "better laws" mean nothing in a bad-faith collapsed civic culture (with a mostly lawless wildly usurping judiciary as a huge weapon). With an electorate that refuses to enforce its will, except episodically (2010, 2016, 2024)
See the Soviet constitution for better laws, and what they can amount to.
Still the odds favor "winning" elections, vs. not doing so.

I get, for whatever reason, he thinks this is urgent do or die situation but he's putting a lot of political, and financial, capital on the line for something that isn't really worth it.
That he's diametrically opposing Trump so publicly because of a large spending bill going through Congress is really quite silly.
It's like he's only been watching Congress for a year and suddenly discovered there's a lot of crazy shit and ridiculous spending going on around there.
Cool your jets, Elon, a lot of us have been watching Congress screw things up for decades. This is nothing new under the sun. They lie, they spend money, and then they lie about what they spend money on.
You're bankroll and loud mouth aren't going to change that.
It's the nature of the beast.
Trump realizes this, instinctively, so he doesn't want to lose the good trying to chase the perfect.
Elon is fixated on it like it's life or death.

Like it or not, it’s about math and what will pass. It’s been that way since the first continental Congress. I suppose if you have a wide majority and at least 60 solid votes in the senate you can do the impossible. But that’s not happening anytime soon.
It’s really the ultimate betrayal by a guy who frames himself as an idealist, but is unattached to reality.
This bill isn’t perfect. I also believe there are a few seats we should go after from people who bent us over a barrel to spend more than we should and support the welfare process in their states. That includes the crank, Massie. If he’s Musk’s idea of a perfect candidate, he may want to stop smoking the cheeba. He’s exactly what needs to be smoked from the party.
Oh and bottom line, Trump is more popular with the party than Musk.

I don't know, it seems we've collectively decided to ignore the unsustainable deficits and long term debt.
But yes, if we were serious about it, I think we're at the point where we would likely need to increase taxes to try to cover our massive deficits. I don't think any short term growth from cutting additional taxes and/or keeping tax rates the same is going to close that gap.
But we're not serious about it, so we will continue to increase spending and not even try to pretend to make revenue cover the expenditures. And that'll keep working. Until it doesn't.

The Kohberger plea seemed like more-than-side-bar news. Looks like the case was becoming a slam dunk for the death penalty and prosecutors granted a plea deal without consulting victim families. A lot of assumptions in that, but if it's wrong, why is the one family so upset about him getting life with no parole and no appeal; better than Nicole Brown Simpson's family got...? But if it's true he was headed for the death penalty, what kinda Idaho prosecutor would do this...?

I'm not sure about it being objectively bad - simply extending the Trump Tax Cuts makes it worthwhile in my book. I think the better way to look at this is to see what the headlines would look like if the OBBB were to fail. The press would be spinning this as Trump has no power in his gov't. This take would hurt him in other areas, such as tariff negotiations. If he's not seen as the alpha, then it opens him up to stalled negotiations, which would hurt him going into the midterms. This stall tactic would then be used in every other area. A showing that he can get this legislation done in DC extends his 'aura' (my Zoomer son's term) into every aspect of this presidency.
When you look at the cui bono aspect of these talks, it's clear that the Dems, MFM, GOPe, EU, etc etc etc are all on the side of this failing. Simply because of that, it needs to pass.
I get Elon's antipathy, but a win for Trump here helps him get some real reform done next year. If he loses, it's over.

Elon Musk spent a lot of money on Trumps election, undoubtably with an expectation that Trump would pay him back through govt subsidies and contracts.
Trump did not do that.
Elon Musk is now mad that he wasted his money.
He had a similar falling out with the Democrats a few years back. This was entirely predictable (and, in fact, I did predict it and got attacked for doing so).
I don't know why political nerds don't understand that most people are not ideological. They vote / donate based on their own perceived best interests, or based on vibes. People donate huge amounts of money to politicians because they think they're going to get something out of it, not because they're huge fans of political theory.

I'd imagine there's a Congressional Research Service document that lays out all the concepts and terminology.
Appropriations bills passed individually (there used to be 12, dunno now) can be just as disastrous and irresponsible as when they are rolled into a CR (also called an omnibus). The point of individual bills used to be that increased political accountability - both at committee-markup, and on the floor, roll call votes on individual issues*.
Rolling into omnibus/CRs, passing them within 48 hours, etc., of course completely removes all this from the process (though most parts still get committee mark-up).
* "GOP controlled" House Approps last week marked up an immigration-related bill, adopting - by voice vote - many provisions, some only advisory, that could have been in press releases from Mayorkas' DHS, or Catholic Charities, or La Raza. Enjoy!

---
Some of you near 29 may recall the annual feature of the budget negotiations of the 80's and 90's (the last time we did budgets--and even a "balanced" budget) was the circus of the Blue Dog Democrat coalition that was totes gonna chart a middle path between the wild and crazy tax-n-spend liberals and the draconian spending cuts and tax give-aways of the Republicans.
It was a pile of horseshit that always only ever resulted in increased spending and more taxes.
But gol-durned them Blue Dogs were a'fightin' for Americans.
Moral of the story: Americans have never, in your lifetime, ever really gave a fuck about spending--they just want everyone to pretend like it is a problem, not DO anything about it.

I don't know much about the case, but I'd say most prosecutors would rather take a plea than go to trial. Prosecutors live and die by their conviction rates, and you never know which way a jury is going to go.
As far as the family's input? I hate to be blunt about it, but they're not really part of the process here. In our legal system, the aggrieved party is the state, not the family.

From yesterday (not sure if it was mentioned here):
Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush delivered rare open criticism of the Trump administration — and singer Bono held back tears as he recited a poem — in an emotional video farewell on Monday with staffers of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Monday was the last day as an independent agency for the six-decade-old humanitarian and development organization...
This is all so crazy. And the way Big Orange has his followers cheering this on after inspiring in them such animosity toward the rest of the world, and to the poor. I feel like I'm stuck in a moment and I can't get out of it.
Musk called this program a, "criminal enterprise." I'm sure because its saved millions of lives in other countries, promoting good will for our country. Sliding it over to the State Dept., and calling it, "America First," tells you exactly what this admin has in mind.
Bush should shut his pie hole. He didn't want to endorse Kamala, and his silence was pretty damning.

The Big Beautiful Bill kicks 1.4 MILLION illegal immigrants off Medicaid.
For too long, Americans have been paying for the welfare of people who shouldn't even be in our country.
Today, the Senate voted to end that.
And yes—this DID make it into the final draft of the bill.

Musk called this program a, "criminal enterprise." I'm sure because its saved millions of lives in other countries, promoting good will for our country. Sliding it over to the State Dept., and calling it, "America First," tells you exactly what this admin has in mind.
Bush should shut his pie hole. He didn't want to endorse Kamala, and his silence was pretty damning.

Elon must not remember the idiot Harry Browne and all the asshole libertarians that have existed before and don't jack shit.
I remember seeing Browne on Mahers show or somewhere years ago. He was loving himself long time, loved being the "neutral" commentator who could disagree with both sides.
It was then that I knew he was nothing more than a gadfly. Reason mag soon turned into light Commie, Liberty mag too.
People are ugly and messy, politics is just like people. I mean, this Thune guy got installed for some reason by the GOP. If they can do that out in the open, how is a libertarian going to get anything done. Especially a hardcore one, who is probably totally full of shit.

I said this yesterday, but Elon is in his naive, idealistic "Mr Elon Goes to Washington" era. Trump was in that era back in 2016, he gets it now. But it takes a while to truly learn.
There are stages of grief for the uninitiated in politics. It's harsh to realize it isn't pure, it's swampy and requires compromise, and won't go your way just because you want good things. Especially if you are a businessmen used to getting what you want all the time. Elon is currently in his "anger" stage of grief.

HOUSTON (Alliance Defending Freedom) — Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed a federal lawsuit Monday on behalf of a Texas family after a Houston school district repeatedly flouted their requests to stop treating their daughter as a boy—a so-called “social transition.”
In March 2025, ADF attorneys sent a letter to the district on behalf of the Osborn family asking it to confirm that the couple’s daughter would only be referred to by her given name and correct pronouns, and ADF asked the district to provide documents related to the events that occurred. The school district did not provide any documents and ignored the Osborns request that they stop treating their daughter as a boy. The Osborns had no choice but to file a lawsuit against the district to stop them from continuing this action.

It is a requirement that the victims family is notified ahead of time in some states. But I think its more common in blue states, although I don't know that for sure. In some states, there is a job known as some flavor of "victim advocate" -- basically a social worker type who deals with the victim and/or his family and keeps them updated on the case and whatnot.
That may not be the case in Idaho, I have no idea.
I'm not against there being a victim advocate by the way. I think it is important for victims and their families to feel like they are part of the process, even if, legally speaking, they are not. And for good reason! In a lot of tribal law systems in the ME, for example, the family decides on the punishment. That leads to rich criminals being able to bribe poor victims families to decide to not punish them or only minimally punish the. That's not exactly the system of justice we want to emulate.

I am *still* not entirely clear on the substance or procedural details, but Sen. Schmitt is claiming flat out that the "original" ban on Medicaid for illegals* was always in the bill, and the failed amendment didn't affect that.
One interesting point he made, related to my dull dissertation above about CRs and such - he said yesterday's "failed" amendment was a "messaging" vote (we called them "walk the plank" votes) to get Dems to vote against barring Medicaid to violent criminal illegals. So at least there are signs of some political life in the Senate, again. BTW this explains why 4-6 Dems actually voted with GOP on this one - all of them up this cycle of course.
* did not check, friend advises a 1996 law already bars Medicaid to illegals - if so, why TF wasn't a suit filed on Jan. 21, 2025 on this against the blue (and probably some red) states doing this?

HOUSTON (Alliance Defending Freedom) — Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed a federal lawsuit Monday on behalf of a Texas family after a Houston school district repeatedly flouted their requests to stop treating their daughter as a boy—a so-called “social transition.”
Posted by: Chuck Martel

!!!! My wife just sent me the Texas Scorecard link to this story. The principal named in the lawsuit lived 8 doors down from us until a coupla years ago when he transferred to Bellaire from Waltrip, mostly cuz Waltrip is awful and his oldest was moving into high school; he actually had them in the same Lutheran school as ours for elementary, also why he transferred to the 'better' school zone to avoid the controversy of principal in public school with kids in private; since he left, Waltrip has gone to complete hell. And our neighborhood (and much of Bellaire) is middle-upper gentrified turf. This guy didn't seem so bad, but you can't advance in a public school district and keep your soul. He deserves this for what he's doing. Wouldn't agree to call the kid the name and pronouns the parents demanded!!

Given that Jeff Davis kept giving jobs to Braxton Bragg, they may have had a point.
But the poster child for state obstructionism, Vance from North Carolina, gets something of a bad rap. Theres a story about him holding uniforms instead of giving them to the Army of Northern VA, but on the other hand the state had paid for those uniforms out of their own state funds. Given the lack of diplomatic skill of Davis, I doubt that the states were entirely in the wrong.
And the supply problems Lee had were mostly because Davis' supporting another incompetent as the commissary. When he was replaced, even with the nation collapsing the supply situation was much improved in 1865

I've said it before, but 2016 was the year the LP could have become serious. The year they could have taken dissatisfaction from both parties, in particular the GOP, and gotten a real foothold in American politics by hitting 5% of the popular vote and then accepting federal funding of elections from then on.
Instead, they intentionally tanked it.
They now get fewer votes in presidential elections percentage wise than they did in the 90s.

Well, Obama spent a trillion dollars on infrastructure. Trump spend hundreds of billions. Then Biden spent another trillion or so on infrastructure.
And yet, as Trump said back in 2016, drive through much of the country and we have "failing third world infrastructure."
It is infuriating. I see bridges rusting through everywhere that could probably have had their lives extended by decades if they were just painted and maintained, but thats not how government operates. They need constant crises so they can get more money.

USAID was, and has been from its inception, a slush fund used by the CIA and State Department to throw money around overseas as part of projecting "soft power" after Kennedy lost his shit on the CIA for their bumbling projections of, er, "hard power" like the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
Did some of that money ever go to a "good cause"? Yeah, probably. Do we know that for sure? No, because they didn't / don't keep accurate records of anything, like most of the federal government.
Do we want our intel agencies running a shadow government / shadow foreign policy operations around the world with no oversight? I would say no, but apparently I'm in the minority on this site with that view.
Is USAID the only such area of the budget where these slush funds exist? Absolutely not.

Yeah, I'm pretty much convinced that Perot and the Reform Party was the first major casualty of the Elder Bush's Deep State.
Look at the story... suddenly a guy gets INSIDE information from Government sources, that his family is in danger... but then the government sources call him nuts? and run a Big Gov Leak campaign through the media, which destroys his credibility.
Gee, where else have we seen Government insiders tell Lies about a Political Opponent... which then get taken as credible by the Press... and is the top story for weeks...

I've had this idea for a movie that takes place during the COVID era, it's kind of a mashup of It's A Mad Mad Mad World meets convoy meets Smokey and The Bandit, whereby all of these truckers have to race to California to pick up a MacGuffen and get it back to the east coast.
Daniel Day Lewis is in it in a comedic role, his driving partner is a midget, and there's a scene where they get drunk and he has to toss his partner into the truck.
I just want to see DDL tossing a midget.
This is definately a film PTA would direct.

On a side note. This got me kicked out of a restaurant about 4 years ago. I needed to make a quick trip outside to take care of parking due to a fire across the street. The person I was with asked me what I wanted to order because the waitress was just arriving. I said, "Not Seafood." This implied anything else was fine.
All the Jewish waitress heard was "Nazi Food." When I returned from the car my dinner companion was standing at the front door ready to leave. She had been asked to vacate.

Sure, that's part of it.
But the bigger part is the politicians want a crisis around every corner. Scared people vote to give politicians more money.
It's why they always threatened to fire "cops and teachers" at the local level if you don't agree to pay more in property taxes. Or why they allow the roads to go to shit. You say "seriously, there is nothing else to cut in the budget other than cops and teachers?" and they will tell you with a straight face that it's either that, or they get rid of road maintenance or plowing. Or, you know, give them more money and nothing will get fixed but at least you'll still have cops, teachers, and road plowing in the winter!

I moved back to Central Calif to take care of Mom, 13 years ago... at the time there was a 'Shovel Ready Project' to expand 99 highway to 3 lanes.... to alleviate traffic. The signs of the Obama funded project to do so went up 13 years ago.
It's still not done... although signs are now down... they DID do 1.5 YEARS of Construction through my little town, and the neighboring bigger town, during which is was the Most DEADLY Highway in the US... people DIED during that construction... and....
They didn't widen the bridges and overpasses, so it is still only 2 lanes per side wide.

Trump Tours "Alligator Alcatraz;" Agrees to Let DeSantis Deputize National Guardsmen as Immigration Judges to Speed Up Deportations
The left is always complaining that we need judges to handle the huge wave of illegal third-world immigration they encourage.
Okay, how about National Guard soldiers sworn in to be immigration judges? This is the kind of innovation in government I'm looking for.President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would approve Florida's plan to expedite deportations by having qualified National Guard members work as immigration judges. Trump made the announcement during his visit to a new state-run immigration detention center in South Florida dubbed Alligator Alcatraz. For months now, Gov. Ron DeSantis has sought the approval of the federal government to deputize Florida National Guard Judge Advocate General Corps. officers to act as immigration judges. On Tuesday, Trump said he is in favor of the plan. "He didn't even have to ask me. He has my approval," Trump said during a roundtable discussion at the immigration detention center in the Everglades. DeSantis on Monday said having the National Guard work as immigration judges on site at the detention center could fast-track deportations. On Tuesday, DeSantis said his goal was to cut through "bureaucracy." Because the detention center is built on an old airstrip, DeSantis and others have also said it will speed up the deportation process by allowing the federal government to fly migrants out of the site. Attorney General James Uthmeier, who was instrumental in the detention center's planning, said on social media Tuesday that it was a "one stop shop for immigration enforcement." "Come in, get your 'process,' and fly out," Uthmeier said.I love it. Unfortunately he's not talking about just making thousands of National Guardsmen judges, just Guardsman in the judge advocate corps. Lawyers, then.

It is a detention center for deportees awaiting deportation.
The people detained there aren't being forced into hard labor.
Their lives are not being threatened by the authorities there.
They came here illegally and are leaving legally.
Illegal aliens can avoid this entirely by packing up and heading home, in which case Trump has so generously offered them a free one-way plane ticket and $1000 once they get there.
If they don't like it, tough.

Can someone change this fool's diaper and give him a bottle? It's a holding facility. Concentration camps as commonly understood were DEATH CAMPS. You were either worked to death, starved to death, or directly murdered by the people in the camp.
Yes, I know. There is some nuance between the work camps and the death camps run by the NAZIs. This facility is neither of those things. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of people died in those "work camps," so I don't really accept the difference anyway.

They are getting due process.
They're not being picked up off the street and put onto a plane. They're being held, brought before an IJ who asks for proof of their legal right to be in America. And when the illegal can't provide it, giving them final deportation orders.
The left isn't defining due process, of course. They're implying there is none. Their literal word choices say that they want more due process, implying something like a full jury trial to determine if people can stay.
And...the American people don't care. And they're going to continue to not care as crime rates go down (already happening), rent prices go down (already happening), and employment opportunities go up (already happening).

Haha. I thought it was a slightly tacky take on the Grace Kelly and Sofia Loren wedding dresses, like I said yesterday. But the libs are piling on it SO HARD, it's triggering my Oppositional Defiance Disorder tendencies, and I'm circling around to actually genuinely liking it.
The elements are all good! It's just trying to do too many things, is my problem. Like Coco Chanel said, take off ONE thing. Remove the buttons in the front, or the mermaid skirt, or the mixed lacework on the front, it would sing. But D&G decided to go OTT, bless them.
I think the left is creating a Streisand effect; they are ragging on it SO hard, that it's making it a buzzed about dress for years to come. Not their intent, but they're making her an icon.
Also, if she inspires a decade of classy sleeved wedding dresses, YES PLEASE. So many brides wear the wrong size of bust or strapless bra for their dress (or they lose too much weight before the day, and their boobs shrink and then fit poorly), and it always ruins the look. More sleeves please! And pockets while you're at it!

Pretty much everyone in the US gets the protections of the US Constitution, since those protections are there to stop the government from doing stuff, not as an affirmative (or positive) right for the people.
I am about as anti-immigrant as anyone, and I have no problem giving illegals due process. That due process is usually a very short hearing. I think that's fine, a 5-10 minute hearing before the final deportation order to make sure the person is really illegal and really has no legal right to be here.
The issue is that that has to be the limit of it -- "are you here illegally?" "yes, but --" "deported. Next case on the docket, please." You don't get a quasi trial designed to waste time.

When DH and I were adopting our son from Guatemala, one of the social workers "challenged us to confront our inherent racism." Sure. That's why we were paying an exorbitant amount to every agency available so we could adopt our little Mayan boy. Because of our inherent racism.
When I told her I was nearly a minority at my high school she was surprised and asked where I attended. I told her East Anchorage. Her response: "I meant in the United States."
Oh, the ignorance. It should really have hurt.

American Internment Camps
Fearful of threats to homeland security, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. His order authorized the removal of “any or all persons” from areas of the country deemed vulnerable to attack or sabotage. Nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans—two-thirds of them U.S. citizens—were forced from their businesses and homes. Most had only several days’ notice before they were relocated. They were held in internment camps in isolated locations for up to four years. Approximately 11,000 German nationals and 1,600 Italian nationals were arrested, with many interned.
NOTE: Two-thirds of them ^^ U. S. citizens.

Went and saw 28 Years Later in theatres. The popcorn bucket for M3GAN 2.0 is absolutely horrifying! The face rips off to show the robot face underneath. But the Jaws popcorn bucket was awesome.
Should have gone the Chucky route instead of Terminator. Horror fans don't want a bait and switch. If they want action, they want action. If they want horror, they want horror. I love mixing genres, but a true horror film needs to stay in its lane. (Ironically, I LOVE Godzilla minus one because it mashes historical fiction AND Kaiju. But they do it right.)
People are claiming the fear of AI turned people off from seeing M3GAN 2.0. I doubt it. They also tried to make M3GAN the doll a trans icon (gross), and I think that did FAR more damage.

Troy was actually going down to the Everglades several times over the past five or so years to catch boa constrictors, anacondas, and other invasive species, that have infested the area.
People let their exotic pets go and they all end up in the Everglades so Florida offers bounties for these big snakes.
I haven't watched it in a few years, but Landry was out there getting it done, coming back with bags full of 10, 15, 20 foot snakes.

From a completely sociopathic point of view, it makes perfect sense.

Right now, in IL, the ACLU is arguing that ICE must have a prior warrant, and present said warrant upon demand, prior to arresting or even detaining any illegal.
The judge is highly sympathetic and is certain to issue a nation wide injunction.
The basis being that some settlement agreement, where the government agreed to limit the use of general warrants against illegals, entered into years ago by neither this administration nor the current plaintiffs, over-rules and supersedes federal law.
If you don't understand how that Constitutional, it's because you didn't go to Harvard.

Polar bears don't care who you are. They will eat you. They particularly like hanging out at the municipal dump, because, food.
I'd have no problem putting another detention center up North somewhere, but it would be expensive. I doubt even the idiots they house there would risk being eaten by a polar bear.

RFK Human Rights Organization
Press
Advocacy groups urge the United Nations to address United States’ escalating abuse of immigrants, asylum seekers
In part, Washington, D.C., April 8 – "Yesterday, a group of 23 nonprofit organizations published a report urging the United Nations to address the rapidly deteriorating human rights situation of non-citizens in the United States. The report was submitted to the UN Human Rights Council, which is scheduled to formally review U.S. policies and practices in November.
The participating organizations called out the U.S. government’s ongoing violations of non-citizens’ fundamental rights through mass detention, denial of due process, abusive and discriminatory policing, labor exploitation, and suppression of civic space."
Much more followed.
The FINAL UPR Imm. Coalition Submission_4.7.25 was also attached therein, and everyone of nonprofits involved were listed.

I kept misunderstanding the calendar of events, but it seems like the timeline has begun for the hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the US on asylum claims to go back home.
They have less than 2 months.
And, remember, Haiti is already great and not at all a shithole, according to Conan O'Brien.

I live in Florida and there are six poisonous snakes. I do not worry about alligators much in my area (and I live on a golf course near a lake), I worry about the snakes. I belong to the Florida Snake Lady Facebook group which has made me a little less crazy worrying about how to identify the poisonous ones, but snakes are an issue here.

If AI is the reason Americans are being let go, why are companies still asking for hundreds of thousands of foreign tech workers?

Alb @amandalouise416 Jun 27 Replying to @masterlongevity
I've seen all the H-1B applications filed by employers for the last five years. These are not high skilled workers in big tech, little tech, wannabe tech, or anything remotely tech related. It's all a lie.
Next time someone says it's highly skilled, ask them to prove it.

If he pointed out a damn water moccasin's head, those serpents of evil and horror, I'd put my feet up in the boat. Like that would save me. He'd patiently tell me, while laughing, that they could not climb into the boat with us. That he had both the oar and a gun and would protect me. I still kept my feet in the air.

I've seen all the H-1B applications filed by employers for the last five years. These are not high skilled workers in big tech, little tech, wannabe tech, or anything remotely tech related. It's all a lie.
Next time someone says it's highly skilled, ask them to prove it.

This is 100% true. Most of the people coming in on H1B's are doing low skill (entry level) white collar work while American kids can't find jobs.
They're willing to work for cheaper, but I think it's more than that. Why would Microsoft not say "hey, American kid, instead of laying you off, we'll pay you H1B wages?" I think most American kids would take that option over unemployment. Instead, they do mass layoffs then hire people from India to replace them at 70-80% of the American kids' salary.

Forming a class is not an easy thing.
Boesberg tried to do with Tren de Agua members and failed, and it was a smaller class.
And forming a class is made the more complicated by the fact that the forming itself is appealable and people can sue the ones forming the class because they don't want to be part of it.

Karmelo Anthony Supporters Are Raging Online For Their Money Back After His Parents Reportedly Blew Through Over $500,000 In Donations
Karmelo Anthony once had thousands, if not millions, of supporters from around the country.
The campaign has not yet reached its $600,000 goal, but it appears the family is in need of more money.
Many online reports state that Anthony’s parents blew through half a million dollars and are allegedly asking for more money. His supporters are not only unhappy, some of them are demanding to have their money back.
“They chipped in money to a black murderer solely because he murdered a white guy. I’m glad they got scammed. They deserve it,” one person said.

Same thing that happened in the trades.
Yeah, it sucks being a laborer on a job site. But you know what? That used to be the path to the middle class or upper middle class for a lot of people.
You start out by humping around lumber and getting yelled at by a bunch of overweight alcoholics, but in 5 years, you're making good money as a carpenter.
When you take away those entry level jobs that have real possibility of career advancement, you're fucking people over for life and relegating them to a life of working in the service industry. Which is also going through the same thing.

Then watch bad faith, a lazy/ignorant/distracted electorate, and collapsed corrupted institutions and a useless political class just turn it upside down or ignore it.
The rot here is fundamental and seemingly universal, it's not just asylum law and policy.
Some progress can be made in some cases, depends. Military can hopefully be deloused of all the racism and other idiocy (maybe). But that's ironically the quickest/easiest institution to fix (see Truman's desegregation EO).
Not saying it can't be done, but fixing the letter of the law is about 15% of the struggle.

Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!

Highly, highly specialized and skilled people who wouldn't "overstay" in a million years (European engineers and technical specialists supporting European-made equipment), with *the CEOs and general counsels* of the companies involved, begging for an H-1B.
THAT is what the H-1B program was meant to be. Unless the law has been enormously amended since then, most H-1B issuance today is outrageous and unlawful.

I'm not so pessimistic on that front; changing the law here would produce real results. At any rate, the law being changed is at least feasible at some level. I'm not so sure that people can be made less corrupt or opportunistic. If the plan to save the immigration system depends on a rebirth of civicmindedness or the like, we may as well just grant mass asylum and get it over with.

Trump promised the largest deportation effort in history (history includes Operation Wetback, by the way).
He won 50% of the Hispanic vote and a record amount of the black vote (Pew has it at about 15%).

Trump probably got 50% of the male black vote who actually voted (not harvested or frauded). And probably 30% of the female black vote that actually voted.
If we can somehow clean up the elections in deep blue cities, the GOP would dominate the country. I'm convinced that this overwhelming support that Dumocraps have in blue cities is mostly fraudulent.

So now we get another histrionic p***ing match?
But to correct Trump's outburst a bit, the EV thing is absolutely correct, but space launches and telecom from Musk haven't been "subsidies", any more than the massive and unavoidable involvement of guvamint in space and telecom, as "public goods", are subsidies. Perhaps incorrect, removable interventions (doubt it, not completely anyway).
But when it's personal, you get the most outlandish Trump.

You are supposed to quietly say to yourself, black on red, fellow dead or something.
You did the right thing and exactly what I would have done (unless you were not screaming, I would be screaming).
We had "harmless" black snakes in FL on the Atlantic. I was more afraid of them than sharks. One as tall as me lived in our front hedge in the summers, forcing me to get the mail from the garage.
Florida blew my mind, and I hail from the deepest heart of the Deep South. I totally feared pythons in the toilet to finish me off one fine morning.

Crocodilia is an order of mostly large, predatory, semiaquatic reptiles, which includes true crocodiles, the alligators, and caimans; as well as the gharial and false gharial. A member of this order is called a crocodilian, or colloquially a crocodile.
The 9 genera and 28 species of Crocodilia are split into 3 subfamilies: Alligatoridae, alligators and caimans; Crocodylidae, true crocodiles; and Gavialidae, the gharial and false gharial.

The rest are just farmers and ag companies that go full retard and use illegal labor, routinely.
And Trump's emitting noises indicating ag will get special exemptions or treatment. Because of course ag "interests" are as patriotic, responsible, and civic-minded as the LA City Council - but hey they're Republicans! Big donors! "Conservatives"!!!

Shit's kinda freaky; second in toxicity only to the black mamba.
But, everything I've read/seen says they really, really prefer to run away and will only bite if mishandled.
Said also that only about 10% of the bites are envenomating.
90% are "MFer, leave me the F alone, will you?"
Another cool fact: they like to eat other snakes, specifically, the rough earth snake.
So, if you see little brown snakes, that's probably it's prey.

Jaguar's Sales Drop by 97.5% After Bizarre Gender-Blender Rebranding Campaign
Congratulations, Jaguar. You took your brand, which had been associated with prestige, achievement, and masculinity, and turned it into the Drag Queen Story Hour of automobiles.
Here was there disastrous ad, if you've banished it from your memory:Do you sell cars?
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 19, 2024
No, they sell what all corporations are selling these days: Marxism and child-grooming.
The Daily Caller reports that desire for the once-desirable brand has collapsed.
Jaguar's sales in Europe have plunged dramatically, with only 49 vehicles registered in April 2025, a 97.5% drop from the 1,961 units sold in the same month the previous year. Jaguar's European sales plummeted by 97.5% and year-to-date figures show a 75.1% decline in sales, with just 2,665 units sold from January to April 2025. Globally, Jaguar's performance dropped sharply from 180,833 units in 2018 to 26,862 units in FY24/25, holding a market share of just 0.1% in both Australia and the U.K. These sales figures follow Jaguar's bold rebrand in November 2024, which departs from its traditional identity. The luxury automaker unveiled a new logo and advertising campaign that notably excluded depictions of cars, instead featuring androgynous models in vibrant attire, with slogans like "Copy Nothing" and "Live Vivid," positioning Jaguar as a modern, inclusive brand. Critics slammed Jaguar's rebrand for straying too far from the brand's performance-focused roots, accusing it of pandering to a "woke" agenda.So another woke corporation chases off its old "pale and male" customer base to replace them with... nobody. Or maybe with this guy:
Few on the woke far-left have the money for bus fare never mind a Jaguar. And they wouldn't want to buy something so associated with yucchy male-centered traditional notions of achievement and excellence even if they did. So you wiped out billions in corporate value for a virtue signal. Was it worth it? Today ist the day on Sprockets when ve set fire to all of our shareholder value.

But still recognizable. Unlike Jaguar.
Time for my fav Jag story. Worked with an attorney once in a rural area. He drove his Jag. Since it was rural, we had a lot of counties in our court district. Which meant lots of travel. So the cops in one county, which had court only once a month, would look up the court calendar and just wait for my colleague to come barreling out of the canyon into the valley in his Jag. They pulled him over on principle, just to mess with him. Usually they could ticket him since he had a lead foot.
He got rid of the Jag, finally. Too much in ticket costs!

"This dramatic drop coincided with Jaguar’s effort to reinvent itself as an all-electric luxury marque.
"Under the “Reimagine” plan introduced in 2021, the company halted internal combustion model production in anticipation of an EV relaunch set for 2025–2026.
"By late 2024, Jaguar suspended sales in the U.K., leaving dealerships with almost no inventory."

You see, Jaguar stopped selling cars because they stopped making them:

They use a mix of lower and upper case lettering in their logo.
WTF? The "G" is upper case, as is the tittle-less "j". The "a" is lower case, also probably the "r". The "U" is ambi-cased.

Others in the comments are saying they were bought by Tata motors, then decided to stop making ICE cars and focus on all electric cars, but unfortunately did not have many electric cars to sell, so basically they had zero inventory.
That makes more sense to me than nearly every jaguar fan collectively deciding to stop buying them due to a bizarre marketing campaign.

Jag generally positioned itself in the BMW 3/5 series and the Mercedes C/E classes. They stumbled pretty badly over the last 20ish years though imo and lost the rep it once had.
Plus, as pointed out upthread, their operations have turned to garbage. Design and engineering is lackluster at best imo. It doesn't really set trends. And that's assuming they can even get a car to market.
Shame. For a time they really had an "it" factor for me.

I remember doing a case study on different car companies while I was still in school -- if I recall, back then, Land Rover and Jaguar's were far and away the most leased cars on the planet. Something like 70% of cars "sold" were actually leased. Because the people that drive them know they're super unreliable and finicky and don't want to deal with a 4 year old Jaguar or LR that's falling apart.
Of course, LR and Jaguar knew that too, which is why those cars were so expensive to lease, the resale value at the end of the lease was pretty atrocious.

The problem is that they shut down the actual production of ICE Jaguars before they had production of Electric Jaguars.
So even if you wanted to buy a Jaguar (ICE or Electric), you couldn't because the dealerships had no Jaguars of any kind available, in stock, to sell.

I know they have a repuation as lesbaru, but honestly here in the mountain west, they are a pretty good idea. 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive is almost a necessity in winter. And while most SUV's have that, not many sedans are anything other than front wheel drive. Subaru makes a decent sedan/small car with all wheel drive. For a whole lot less than the luxury cars that have all wheel drive.
So in fact there are lots of them on the road, mostly being driven by staid white dads.

My wife had an Outback for awhile. It was a great car with the 6 cylinder. Was really great in the snow. And it worked well with dogs and small kids -- closest thing to a wagon out there. Only issue was it ate batteries. Went through 5 in 6 years, though always under warranty

I agree. It really has been something to behold.
There is such a tiny subset of the market that would be interested in Teslas. Namely, people who have fairly high incomes, don't drive very far, often have warm weather, have a place to charge the car, love tech gadgets and are not "car guys".
For the rest of the country, the range limitations are enough to say "eh, fuck it." Like yeah, I don't drive 400 miles every day, but I do like the ability to drive 400 miles without spending half the trip freaking out looking for a charger and worrying that my battery life is going to decrease due to the cold weather and I'll be stuck on the side of the road somewhere.
Same reason I drive a small SUV -- 90% of the time, I'd be fine driving a 2-seater Smart Car. But I don't want to have to rent a car that other 10% of the time that I need to move people or things around with me.

They turned their brand into some kooky looking European fashion house commercial - and never even showed the car in it!

This is not to defend that God-awful ad campaign at all; what a stupid horror show of a "car" commercial. But that's not the entire reason for their lack of sales.
If I were a Jaguar dealer, I'd be suing them for breach of contract - Dealer agrees to sell cars, and assumes lots of fixed expenses related to such sales, in anticipation of Manufacturer sending them cars to sell. Manufacturer just stopping building cars for no valid reason is a breach.

Viral claim says the Trump Admin will strip naturalized Americans of their citizenship if they’re charged with crimes — NOT convicted, just charged. Is that even legal?
Here’s the truth:
Being CHARGED isn’t the same as being GUILTY.
The U.S. Constitution guarantees due process for every citizen — natural-born or naturalized.
Even under Trump, denaturalization only applied to those who LIED during the immigration process — not to people lawfully sworn in and then accused of a crime.
Conservatives believe in law and order, but also in constitutional rights. If you break the law, you do the time — but citizenship isn’t something you lose without a full legal process.
We should deport illegals, crack down on fraud, and defund sanctuary cities — but let’s not allow false rumors to distract from Trump’s real mission: Restoring the rule of law and putting America

Yeah, if you lied on your citizenship application (or on any visa application), the only logical punishment would be to strip the person of citizenship.
I don't see how that's even controversial. You only became a citizen because you lied.

Are the classic civilian Land Rovers the same as or derivatives of British Army Land Rovers? Or vice versa?
Oh hell, I almost bought an old right hand drive Land Rover about 15 years ago. Problem was, parts availability scared me, it had been repainted brick red (ugh), and had a top speed of about 55-60mph, which would have been a problem on my 40 mile commute on Hwy 101 to Ventura.
I should have bought it anyway, and rebuilt it as a faux-British Army vehicle, along with a beater Honda Civic. *sigh*

Hubbymayhem kept driving the Subaru until it rolled down a hill. By rolled I mean top over bottom. He and the kids were fine except for a few scratches. Car was totalled but still started up and drove it to a different area for storage until a guy bought it for parts.

I don't know what the wording is on the application, but if he demonstrably lied about something, then he be stripped of citizenship and deported.
However, if the phrase is "being sympathetic" that's hard to prove absent some kind of money changing hands or something along those lines, I would think.

There will be several fewer companies around in 5 years. Jag is toast. So is Lotus. Aston Martin holds on only because of various sugar daddies willing to dump millions into the brand. Their current daddy also owns the Aston F1 team. Ditto McLaren.
Alfa and Maserati are also hanging on by threads. But the Italian car industry is weird and incestuous, and often the Italian government steps in with huge subsidies to bail them out. For a while, the government was run by the multi-billionaire family that owns Fiat and others.

Not as good as the "viral" YouTube video that claims Karoline Leavitt told some black military guy or whatever "Sit down, boy". And what he did next will shock you. Then everybody clapped.
Mysteriously no audio or video even though the narration claimed it was "broadcast to millions".
It had 600,000 views at least. A very weird genre.

They also did the mixed punctuation for another reason - symmetry.
See how the j is an upside down copy in the r?
Then they capitalized the G to keep from having the g's descender go below the x-height and the rest of the logo. Somebody didn't like dangley bits.

I kind of miss the days of the shithead reviewer.
Like when David Lean was crestfallen at the critical drubbing of Ryan's Daughter, so he invited all of the NY based critics to a round table.
They just shit on him for a couple of hours and he didn't make a movie for 14 years after that.
I mean...they shouldn't have done that. It was mean. I don't really like Ryan's Daughter, but I wouldn't have been so impolite to the dude who made Lawrence of Arabia. But...critics thinking too much of themselves and feeling adversarial to creators is healthier than them thinking too much of themselves and being slaves to the whims of studios.

I don't have cable either, but I watch YouTube and occasionally streaming services, so the ads are presumably a bit tailored.
I do see a lot of interracial couples in ads, but most of my ads are as described. Like Post Malone and Shane Gillis sitting in lawn chairs opening cans of Bud Light.

I kind of miss the days of the shithead reviewer.
John Simon. "I sincerely hope that science and scientists differ from science fiction and its practitioners. Heaven help us if they don't: We may be headed for a very boring world indeed. Strip Star Wars of its often striking images and its highfalutin scientific jargon, and you get a story, characters, and dialogue of overwhelming banality, without even a 'future' cast to them: Human beings, anthropoids, or robots, you could probably find them all, more or less like that, in downtown Los Angeles today. Certainly the mentality and values of the movie can be duplicated in third-rate non-science of any place or period."

Should have gone the Chucky route instead of Terminator. Horror fans don't want a bait and switch. If they want action, they want action. If they want horror, they want horror. I love mixing genres, but a true horror film needs to stay in its lane.
People are claiming the fear of AI turned people off from seeing it. I doubt it. They also tried to make M3GAN 2.0 a trans icon, and I think that did far more damage.

M3GAN was a meme movie. The robot's dance was a thing for a hot moment.
And it was a cheap horror movie with a decent marketing campaign.
It was never the stuff of longevity. I'm not surprised that a sequel got greenlit. But I'm also not surprised that the sequel didn't do very well.

Sales Impact: Claims that the campaign directly caused a sales plummet are inconclusive. Jaguar's sales have been declining for years, well before the November 2024 campaign. For instance, sales dropped from 81,570 units a decade ago to 13,528 in the year to April 2024, despite a 39% annual uptick. In the first half of fiscal 2025, Jaguar sales fell over 40% to roughly 14,000 cars, representing just 8% of JLR's total volumes. These figures predate the ad campaign, indicating broader challenges like production issues, a shift to electric vehicles, and a shrinking model lineup. The campaign's impact on sales cannot be isolated as the sole cause, as no direct data links the backlash to a specific sales drop post-November 2024

My guess is Tata Motors did what Stellantis did and got rid of all the engineers at Jaguar who knew what they were doing and replaced them with cheap labor people in India who are incompetent, clueless and lazy.
That is exactly what happened after the FCA-PSA merger to form Stellantis. The new management completely destroyed North America operations by pushing out 50%+ of local engineers and management and replaced them with cheap labor "engineers" in Mexico, India (where average IQ is 76) and people from India living in Canada. They also ended a lot of popular products and put in place the plan to move to 50% EV by 2030.
As a result, Stellantis North America operations and culture are now garbage.

I don't think he has the power to ignore her. He can call a vote to override.
Vance can ignore her since she's essentially his proxy for rule keeping in the chamber.
But, again, this isn't over. The House, which passed a version with the Medicaid cuts, still has another say. The Senate knows more bullshit is coming on any conference version.
We're not out of drama on this, but I suspect the Medicaid cuts end up in the final version on Trump's desk.

Looks likely that 3 of those 4 will be out of the Senate after '26.
Colin Allred (dem) just announced he's going to run for Senator against either Cornyn or Paxton. I take that as a good sign; he'll probably keep Beto out of the race, and Allred just lost to Ted Cruz, 53 - 44, and there's no reason he would fare any better in a second try. In fact, Paxton may be more popular than Cruz.
Paxton is similar to Trump - all the establishment types hate him, but the voters love him. And none of the complaints against him are new, they're all quite old now.

Shouldn't we be discussing the filibuster? I am not at all clear that it's a net positive anymore. And I'm a genuine conservative - even a reactionary - and disinclined to support change. But there is a time that things just have gotten moldy, and have to go.
There is a lot in our system based on the notion that, despite being opposed, both sides have SOMETHING in common. I'm starting to wonder if I have more in common with the Mahometans than with American leftists. At least the latter dislike abortion and transing kids.

What counts under reconciliation has to be purely budget related. She says this Medicaid thing is a policy decision, so it doesn't count for reconciliation.
Really, the only reason I can see why Vance hasn't nuked her decision yet is because Murkowski needed some decorum in the stupid process to vote yes.
But, again, it's going to be an up and down vote on the revised House version, or the conference version, in a few days.

It has to do with the nature of the bill. Some bills are forced to "stay on topic" and the parliamentarian has decreed that certain segments of the bill, such as removing foreign invaders from Medicare, is off-topic and not allowed to be part of this bill.
That was probably not the best explanation, but yes, a majority can override the parliamentarian or just flat out replace her.

And if you ask people on the street, even people who have heard of this bill don't really give a crap. Not because of ignorance or stupidity but because it simply doesn't matter if they care or don't care. They recognize that congress is made up of people who ignore them and do whatever the hell they want. Most don't even know the bill exists.

It seems so obvious that a new VP should have his or her choice of twat. But nah. A GOP-controlled Senate with a GOP VP has the same fucking partisan twat left over from Harry Fucking Reid's days. Incredible. Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

Was reading up on that in the gun thread this Sunday.

The first determination as to whether a House provision is 'new' comes from the Parliamentarian.

The Medicaid cuts will only apply to the 48 contiguous states...Hence Murkowski's vote.
I feel like there is a boulder hanging right above our heads, holding on by a thread. Folks, that thread is about to snap.
Once they know they have enough votes to pass, they give the ones in political danger the right to vote NO, its a pass for Collins cause if they needed her vote, she would have voted for it.
It will pass the House easily, and then the organized campaign to blame the Democrats for the horrendous repercussions will begin immediately.

Most oligarchs don't except as the US affects their financial interest and sometimes social interests (the Prizker family trannyism support comes to mind). Soros, I think, is more an agent of the US Deep State than an independent operator. He simply agreed to be the face of the CIA/IC community funding destabilization operations in foreign countries and currently the US.
Like criminals, they launder government funding through Soros to conceal its origins.

I think they assumed the populace would continue to be as educated and as voracious readers as they were in the mid to late 1700's in the US.
They did not foresee the advent of radio, then TV and cable news, in other words.
It is pretty notable that nearly everyone (well, other than the slaves) in the US was literate back then, and reading pamphlets and listening to people on the speaking circuits and arguing politics was a national past time. That was/is not very common around the world.

The real nuclear option is for Vance to just overrule her. But, with the bill passed in the Senate, we're just waiting for the next round of this nonsense when the Senate has to vote on the modified version from the House or conference which will surely include the Medicaid stuff.

Unless the US gets rid of first past the post elections and goes to a parliamentary system using PR, even Elon will have trouble producing an effective third party. Cordocet's Law.
Libertarians though might pull enough votes for Elon to revenge himself on the GOP though which will produce a Dem party majority that hates everything that Elon claims to value.
There is a reason that libertarianism is not even an afterthought in actual elections other than a spoiler. It does not speak to political realities but rather seeks to fundamentally change the relationship of governance requiring a very different sort of citizenry. As revolutionary in its way as Communism is.

Bush or Regan (or Clinton) would hit one or two major policy elements and hang on like a pit bull on a tire swing. The lines have been drawn up that way for a long time, and everyone is geared for that conflict, with a formal set up, stating lines and increasing pressure.
Trump had his organization set from day one and he is all over the place He is following the idea of getting there first with the most, along with incredible coordination between widely distanced attacks to take the enemy in the sides and the rear.

"It ought ti have been better than it is, but it is definitely better than nothing." Correct?

This has been the problem facing the LP for its entire life. Even Rothbard thought the best way forward was to be the bit of extra weight based on what was possible to achieve instead of a full party. The Dems are in all honesty a coalition, though the parts are tied to the party.
On the other hand "fundamentally changing the relationship between the individual and the government" is kind of on message for the LP

The major reason that Rand is criticizing it is because it extends the debt ceiling to past the 2026 elections. That takes away a major platform for him to pontificate and bargain his vote.
Rescission bills should be Rand's focus instead of the debt ceiling and an initial House bill doing just that has passed the House.
Part of the issue is that most of Rand's and Massie's for that matter signalling is on ill understood (by the public) process rather than actualities. Reconciliation was never going to be the big budget saver as it can only affect mandatory spending (except Social Security) and taxes.
Rescission bills have the same filibuster proof power without the role of the Senate parliamentarian but have been little used until now.
Same with making sure that administrative rules are truly dead and cannot be revived which is another law dating from the Gingrich Congress.

Reading up on it, conference has increasingly been disfavored by the House and Senate. Probably because leaders in the House and Senate can control outcomes better via amendments than conference. Easier rules wise to simply amend the House bill with Senate additions/subtractions via a favored amendment to the bill via the Rules Cmte and thence to the floor. Quicker and less likely to have a conference cmte go off the rails.

Sometimes.
The theory is lower marginal tax rates will lead to increased economic growth, which will lead to more money flowing around, which will give the feds more opportunities to get their grubby little fingers on that flowing money, and thus increase tax receipts.
But, as always, the devil is in the details, and it's very hard to isolate one variable as the reason tax receipts go up or down. The world is a complicated place with many moving pieces.

I didn't have high hopes on the hail-mary attempt to right the ship in the first place, but I'm not seeing anything that makes me think they're going to pull it off.
They need to legislate and govern like they're never going to be in power again, with the explicit goal of prodding the left into doing something really stupid. This is not the time for half-assing things or trying to preserve political capital for some nonsensical normal future that's never happening anyways.

James Buckley got elected as Senator from NY because of the endorser type minor parties in NY.
But, I don't think humanity is ready for fundamental change in nature because unlike Locke, I do not believe in blank slates. Even the US after the Revolution was tied to past British and colonial practices so you had Jefferson's argument that states could prosecute seditious libel but the Fedgov couldn't under the First Amendment.
Personally, I always have thought that the privileges and immunities clause incorporated the First Amendment after it was ratified. Only court though that supported that was the GA Sup. Ct. in a firearms case (2nd was incorporated in GA by that decision) prior to the ACW.

Yes, the economic wing of the Libertarian party had some influence in the Reagan administration and even elected a senator in NY (James Buckley) as a LP fusion candidate.
Likewise, the Socialist and Grange movements influenced the Dem party and its positions even as far back as the 1890's.
Minor parties are most effective in a first past the post majoritarian election system when they can serve as good idea factories for the major parties to steal.

The former was my understanding. Zero tax but SBR and suppressors stay within the NFA registration requirements. That, however, makes the case legally for the constitutionality of those restrictions under Bruen. Simply put, in the 193 NFA case, US v. Miller, it was not deemed a commerce clause power that allowed the bill to be constitutional, but the fact that it was a tax instead.

Yeah, the Laffer Curve is more of a concept than an formula. We know that if tax rates are zero, you get no revenue. We know that if they are 100% you will also get no revenue. So somewhere in the middle there is a point of max revenue and beyond that we start getting less again.

Mebbe on the amendment procedure. Depends on the House now and Johnson on how to proceed. Part of it is the self imposed deadline of July 4th. In legislative terms, those are kind of self imposed deadlines that cause some to vote for a bill simply so they can go home and enjoy a holiday. The extraordinary measures for the debt ceiling limit are now figured to run out in August or September though. So the House and Senate will have to do the debt increase before then.

Reconciliation rules and the fact that McConnell and Ryan wanted permanence for corporate tax cuts and subsidies rather than for personal income tax is why. There is a ten year limit on the reach of a lot of reconciliation provisions due to the 1974 Budget Act. That also created the odious and oblivious CBO which purposefully understates the cost of spending and elevates the cost of tax cuts.

Laws do not matter unless there are people in positions of influence with the will to enforce the laws. Just look at any blue city in the country where police are told to not enforce various laws. And where local DAs deliberately do not prosecute to enforce various laws. Look at the entire nation over the past 20-25 years where no one has enforced immigration laws.
Rules and laws mean nothing in the absence of people with the will to enforce them.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
American Exceptionalism! What a grand and glorious thing...driven by (among other things) the self selection of exactly who comes here. Until fairly recently it was incredibly difficult just to arrive on our shores. Weeks or months-long voyages with no guarantee that one would survive the trip, only to arrive in America and have to fend for one's self. No immigrant support system for 16th (or 17th or 18th or 19th or even 20th) century arrivals!
And imagine the decision to leave Bavaria or Prussia or Ireland or Holland or Sweden or Poland or Russia Italy or any of the other sclerotic and rigid countries that sent its most adventurous and brave citizens to our shores. Nothing was sure for these people; it was a great unknown, they knew it would be incredibly difficult, yet they did it! And the result is the greatest country in the history of the world. Sure, there are places with better discrete things. Mass transit is one: I'll take the London underground or the Paris Metro any day over the NYC or San Francisco or Chicago transit systems. And European trains are great! French and Italian food? Ooh la la! The list goes on and on, but add them all up, and what do you get? Because you have to consider everything, not just the good stuff in Europe and the rest of the developed world. Count everything, like our incredible physical beauty, and amazing room for everything, and our freedom to do whatever the hell we want, which is buttressed by our flawed but still amazing Constitution, not to mention big washing machines and great air conditioning and big cars and endless vistas and huge houses and great barbecue and an absolutely incredible ethos that makes the low trust societies of most countries on earth a miserable and pale and diminished reflection of us. The United States of America is the greatest country in the world! Yet there are many among us who see this wonderful place as irredeemably broken, and a place to sneer at and mock and yes...hate.

The official take on American History by the left is that we are uniquely evil.

This country, through its power brokers, cheaters and liars, has revealed what it is, and it's not pretty. It is also not deserving of our unconditional love. We may love its people, but if we're being honest we don't really love *all* it's people anymore. Or at least, I don't.
So what do we love? The soldiers? Fine. But that's not the country, just part of it, even if a big one. The police? Sorry that ship sailed on beaches and in parks during covid. The workers? Ok that's like a third of the people, and a third of those are commie idiots who want you silenced or dead. So yeah - the chart is clear.

It appears that massive amounts of taxpayer money have been funneled through USAID and Dem-aligned NGOs. The money is missing, and allegations are that Biden’s Treasury Department was trying to cover it all up.
It’s a really scary notion: the artery of the Dem fundraising machine is now being investigated as a criminal enterprise, with foreign money, stolen identities, and election interference all swirling around it.
And just like that, once again, the conspiracy theorists, who the media mocked, are right yet again.

What was the guy's motive? I get it that there are just insane people in the world, but even true loonies like Ed Gein have some motive. As far as I know, the prosecution in this case never offered a motive.
I still think it's highly unlikely that one guy could hack up four people -- including an adult male -- and escape without a trace of the crime. The only non-circumstantial evidence the prosecution had was a tiny bit of DNA left on a knife sheath at the crime scene.
Anyway, this tragedy is at an end, although the families of the victims will never be the same.

The Democrat party has ALWAYS been a self licking ice cream cone for funding. Good ole Tom Jefferson put his media hatchet man on the Dept. of State payroll in order to subvert domestic politics. Tammany Hall was famous for paying voters in order to keep getting grift from local and federal governments. Etc. Etc.

Those who are full of hate can never build coalitions, never attract those outside of their group, and can never take power through ordinary civic methods. You may think this creates a risk of revolution - but strong, well led governments are never at risk from such movements. They can only threaten governments and systems that are on the verge of collapse already, usually for economic reasons.

I like all the Besties - especially Sacks - but Friedberg is the most orthogonal thinker of them all. He's a nominal Democrat, but he goes about subjects from a different angle that leads him to some very un-Democrat conclusions. His thesis on Momdani is at the same time sympathetic and devastating to the ultra-libs of NYC.

They hate us every bit as they hate the US, but I think we're the catalyst for all of it. And the media amplifies their hate.

If you can keep the low-trust culture that you came here with (or, in the case of blacks like me, the grievance culture that we've had forced down our throats by the race hucksters for decades), you make our culture low-trust by extension. When you have a major political party (the Dems) that needs a low-trust environment like an engine needs fuel, this is what you get - on steroids.
Shameful. And sad.

Extremely unlikely is right. Kohberger was trained in forensic techniques and he took extreme precautions to leave no trace of his travel or presence. He almost pulled off the crime of the century.
Not quite. He left traces of his travel and his presence. There's no explanation for his travel other than his presence at the crime scene, and there's no explanation for his DNA at the scene other than his travel to the location. He didn't have other business in the area, and he went to one hell of lot of trouble to get there without leaving a trace. He demonstrably relied on his training as a Master of Criminal Psychology for purposes of obscuring his travel and presence.

Eh. At 23% turnout total with the Democrat winning a majority, that means if 100% of Republicans turn out, it's, minimum, 11% of the entire registered population voting Republican.

I think if 11mm illegals were kicked off medicaid, you'd get some pct of them to self-deport. But I'm also wondering what happens to the hospitals that are required by law to treat them, but will not receive medicare payments to cover part of the costs.

It begins, In January 1978, evil visited Tallahassee in the form of a psychopathic stalker who was later identified as one of the most vicious serial killers in modern history.
On January 15, 1978, around 4:00 am, a phone call awakened me at home. As a young Tallahassee Police detective, I was used to receiving calls in the middle of the night. However, this call was different. My lieutenant was calling to tell me there had been multiple homicides at the Chi Omega sorority house at FSU and to respond there immediately. This was the beginning of the saga of serial killer Ted Bundy’s reign of horror in Tallahassee.

For me, a distinction between the Holy Spirit and Jesus is that Jesus is our interlocutor and advocate with us to the Father. A High Priest of the order of Melchizedek for all time but at the same time approachable as a worldly friend as he lived a human life and understands the pull of sin and the tendency to do wrong.
One of the benefits of Catholicism though is the confession as you can unburden your soul while receiving firm but fair guidance. All of us feel low and unworthy at times but your care for your show dogs and empathy for others is a reflection of your faith and does a credit to you here.
Pray to Jesus himself and you might be surprised that he listens and responds even to those that believe themselves lost. Remember the Prodigal Son metaphor.

Yeah, I'm not seeing a lot of spare time in this biography for him to have "spent most of his life in prison", even if you count nights and weekends.

Of course it's fantasy.

A lot of NYCers and for that matter people, near me, in Philly LOVE criminals. I had an aunt who married a NYer who reported hating Giulianu for destroying the excitement of living in a big city. When the illegals started there, she immediately hired a group to help clean, they robbed her. I laughed in her face. DOn't miss her a bit and ignore those cousins.

Anywhere there is food processing, you will find illegals and often food processors like them because they will not report injuries, bad or dangerous work conditions, and compelled and uncompenstated overtime.

They were about equally terrible presidents for different reasons. The disaster of Carter's economic policies took years to unwind. And then there's dumping the Shah, who was no worse thug than most we tolerate.
Obama's catastrophe was different. He might have been a unifying figure that moved the country away our racial past. He, more than anyone, is responsible for our present social and political rift.
Biden is different, in that he wasn't really a president at all - just an inert facade behind which the true maniacs went to work.

That is true of most government malfeasance. If the people who proposed and supported such legislation had to personally pay for it, then the incidence of such self serving moral twattery would be much less.
For example, 'refugee' groups would be a lot more picky if they were personally and organizationally financially and criminally liable for their charges.
Skin in the game is a wonderful concept that abruptly causes a lot of vacant moralist civic virtue signally and grifting mentality to pay for the costs of their actions.

Leaders know how to count votes and for better or worse, Thune knows his colleagues. He apprenticed under Mitch for a good long time as an assistant. Johnson has the harder task really because there are more representatives that he has to deal with having a slender majority.

There are rumors that Thune wants to go back to SD and run for governor as his wife is reportedly unhappy living in DC. Term is up in 2028. Dunno if that is true though.

Yes but that ruling can be appealed by any senator (aka appeal to the chair) and then a majority has to vote to sustain the ruling. Recently, this has become the new version of the nuclear option since Harry Reid employed it in 2013. The ruling by the parliamentarian using the Byrd rule requires 60 votes as per current Senate Rules to overrule unless the nuclear option of the majority to kill the filibuster changes that parliamentarian ruling.

Akshually...
Ancient Romans achieved blond hair through a variety of methods, including using natural lightening agents and even applying gold dust for a shimmering effect. Blond hair was seen as a symbol of youth and beauty, so both men and women sought ways to lighten their hair.
Here's a more detailed look at the techniques:
Natural Lightening:
Ash and Sun:
A mixture of goat fat and ashes, or ashes from burnt wood, nuts, or plants, was applied to the hair and then exposed to the sun to lighten the hair.
Vinegar and Lemon Juice:
A concoction of vinegar and lemon juice was also used as a lightening agent.
Saffron:
This spice was used to create golden hues, and wealthy Romans might even sprinkle gold dust into their hair for a shimmering effect.
Other Natural Ingredients:
Crushed yellow flower petals, pollen, or even berries were sometimes used

Did you see that Hunting Beach, CA is demanding that Federal agents identify themselves if operating in the city.
Why?
Because of one guy named Diaz who was impersonating a federal agent. Kicker is, Huntington Beach has not arrested Diaz on these charges.

We watched the first episode of Wednesday with Jenna Ortega last night. Most of the casting is pretty good, but Luis Guzman as Gomez??? He looks like a toad in a pinstripe suit. Gomez has always been portrayed (by John Astin and Raul Julia) as rather dashing. Yes, the Gomez in Addams's original cartoons wasn't, but Guzman -- especially sitting next to Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia -- just looked obscene.

Producers pushed Fellini to make a movie about Casanova for years because they thought the two Italian womanizers had so much in common.
Except, Fellini hated Casanova. Hated him.
When he finally did make a movie about Casanova, it's unfettered hatred in celluloid form.
Pretty good, too.

It's a beautiful painting; rich colors, exquisite detailing.

Artist: Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier.
Date: 1879.
Medium: Oil on canvas.

The reality is there are a ton of people like him out there. Could be your neighbor. People who are fucked up in the head and will one day wake up and think I want to go kill a bunch of people. No reason, no motive other that he had that thought.
And that’s the scary part for everyone. Because if you can pinpoint a motive you can feel safe thinking well he did it for x reason. If we look for x we can prevent this again. But there’s no x reason most of the time. It’s random and can’t be prevented.

To be fair, having watched MANY an episode with my young (at the time) children, it's actually a pretty good show, and not full of woke indoctrination, which is refreshing. There's even a great episode called "The Cutie Map - Part 1" which introduces a new character running a "utopian" village where all are equal, all the citizens give up their special marks and abilities, and they're miserable. A communist village portrayed as evil, and ultimately they're liberated lol.

Adams, who was technically far better as a lawmaker than executive (see his ghostwritten Mass Constitution as an example), but as first VP was too concerned with trying to run the chamber with senators that did not want him to do so.
The whole concern of Adam's in the Senate regarding what Adams thought the title of the VP should be there is hysterically funny.

The reality is there are a ton of people like him out there. Could be your neighbor. People who are fucked up in the head and will one day wake up and think I want to go kill a bunch of people. No reason, no motive other that he had that thought.
And that’s the scary part for everyone. Because if you can pinpoint a motive you can feel safe thinking well he did it for x reason. If we look for x we can prevent this again. But there’s no x reason most of the time. It’s random and can’t be prevented.

Myself, I actually prefer reading rather than watching movies much anymore.
Watch old British TV series for a 30 minute to 1 hour show. Back and sometimes legs/arms, starts hurting after that. So I rarely have the focus necessary on watching the movie. Like a shark, I have to keep moving periodically in order to keep from stiffening up.
No such problem getting up reading something as you don't miss key moments. Although I rarely read any fiction nowadays.

Crohns apparently is similar to autoimmune conditions so I can see where a drug could cause stiffening of the ligaments and surround muscular tissues.
FWIW, certain antibiotics do it like K-Flex (mild usually) and Levaquin (much worse so now 'black' labeled ) so you have the risk of tearing and straining ligaments well after use of them.

Bostic played center. He actually wasn't that big, even though a Hog. He started at 6'2/250 and eventually got to 265. Big for a little Mitsubishi, but hardly why the line got named "the Hogs". (That would be the dudes at 6'3+ pushing 300, especially Jacoby at 6'7/300-310.)

The Swiss are still the Swiss, and the Germans might be becoming German again.

You want expensive? Hire someone who professionally makes costumes for the S.F. opera to make you a bespoke outfit circa 1750. (Even after designing it myself and getting the material, it was still some coin.) If (when?) I drop a couple inches, I could still fit into it. 19th c. men's isn't so expensive compared to today; just a little more fabric though tying cravats all fancy-like is a pain (and there were no clip-ons).

People under 30
How to get or stay on a parent’s plan
If a parent’s health insurance plan covers dependents, you usually can be added to their plan and stay on it until you turn 26.
Further, some state laws.
While the ACA sets the federal standard at age 26, some states have extended dependent coverage beyond this age. For instance, Pennsylvania allows children to stay on their parents' plan until age 30 if they are unmarried, have no dependents, and are residents or full-time students. Florida also allows coverage until age 30 under certain conditions, including student status.

Most of the negotiations are an inside game among the GOP right now in Congress and Trump and depend on dynamics that are simply not reported very well by our media. Budget bills are where the Price is Right for senators and representatives to sell their votes come in and that is simply something nauseating about the whole budgetary process. However, this is endemic to every single legislative system that is 'democratic' but less problematic in a first past the post parliamentary system due to the powers of the PM and Cabinet.

The Morning Report — 7/ 1 /25
For some reason, one of the better websites AmericanGreatness dot com which features such notable authors as Victor Davis Hanson as well as Larry Sand who covers the education beat, is down. If anyone has a line to the editors there, see if you can suss out what's going on and shoot me an e-mail. Hopefully they'll be back up soon. Meanwhile, as I wrote about yesterday and had suspected would be the case, we still have no definitive explanation for why this maniac set a wildfire and then gunned down two firefighters in cold blood who responded to the scene. Somewhere, there is a Venn diagram perhaps with Transexual, Muslim, Climate Change stooge, Anti-Ice/open borders terrorist, Trump-hater, or bog-standard off-the-shelf Pyromaniac. And so the convergence point is the biggest question mark of all.
It happens every time there's a high-profile crime. Law enforcement officials, in collusion with social media companies, surreptitiously disable the social media profiles of suspects, leaving Americans in the dark about their motives and political leanings. The question is why. And who benefits? The most recent example is Wess Roley, 20, who is accused of starting a fire in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Sunday so he could ambush first responders. Two firefighters died in the attack, and a third was critically wounded. Roley was later found dead on Canfield Mountain. It's not clear whether his gunshot wound was self-inflicted or the result of a firefight with police. The Kootenai Sheriff's office, as per usual when these things happen, has not released a motive in the shooting. Also, as per usual, his social media profiles have been scrubbed. The gatekeepers have decided that the public will not see his posts unless and until they decide to release them. Most likely, that won't happen until they are forced to release the files as the result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. That could take months, or even years.
Frankly, all things considered as to what's been happening in this nation since the 2020 summer of love mostly peaceful rioting and incineration of American cities and towns, law enforcement had best figure out whether they're with us or with the terrorists. Because things are on a knife edge.
Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons says left-wing activists are targeting ICE agents, with some going after agents’ families, including their children. In a video posted to X on Monday, Lyons revealed that ICE and the United States Secret Service tracked down one particular activist who had been targeting the children of ICE agents online.
“Wouldn’t you wear a mask if it kept your family safe, if it kept your kids safe? We ran an operation with the Secret Service,” Lyons said. “We arrested someone who was going online, taking [ICE agents’] photos, posting their families, their kids’ Instagrams, their kids’ Facebooks, and targeting them. So let me ask, is that the issue here that anyone is upset with masks, or is anyone upset that an ICE officer’s families were labeled terrorists?”
Given the past 10 years of blood-libeling President Trump as literally Hitler, and the MAGA movement as the Nazi party, and of Trump-supporters as white supremacist racists wherein ICE will soon be rounding up anyone and everyone to not only deport illegal aliens but actual citizens for being of the wrong political persuasion. That rhetoric comes not just from the fringe lunatic base but from the highest echelons of the Democrat Party, it's propagandists in the legacy media and in schools and universities across the country, is it any wonder that police, ICE and random citizens who march in support of Israel have been the targets of not merely verbal abuse but of physical violence. The latter, an 81 year-old Holocaust survivor succumbed after being severely burned by an Egyptian illegal alien who hurled a molotov cocktail at her and other Jews in Boulder CO. Putting the Islam element aside for a moment, Leftists have the same moral conviction that they are the defenders of freedom and righteousness and are being targeted by the forces of darkness and evil, and so have the right an indeed moral obligation to use deadly force to defend themselves and defend their perverse worldview by any means necessary. All that said, this is how the civil society collapses and how things like political death squads appear. From there, the road to civil war and worse, Rwanda and Pol Pot, is clear. Unless the funders, and the organizers of such groups as Antifa, La Raza, BLM, CAIR and all the rest are crushed by every legal means at our disposal, we are in for a world of hurt that will make 2020 and what's been happening in LA and elsewhere over the past few weeks back look like a picnic. All we need is for an ICE agent(s) to get the notion to dox a few of these miscreants and "Take Care of Business" beforehand and Bingo. Not that I am encouraging that or wishing for it, because the aftermath is too horrific to contemplate. But if these guys think their kids are in the crosshairs, they'll either retire and move (which in and of itself was what the BLM defund the police movement sought to do as a means to dismantle law enforcement without necessarily firing a shot, by disincentivizing being a cop as a profession in the first place) . . or they will take matters into their own hands if they feel they do not have the backing of their political leadership. And in far too many places, the blue shithole cities and states, this is certainly the case. And look what is likely on the horizon for NYC. an Anti-American Islamic terror cheerleader/supporter, anti-law enforcement Communist as the likely next mayor.
While the Democrat party mayoral primary in New York is stealing the headlines, those who have watched Marxist-Hegelian hybrid ideology overtake the party since the 1960s could have predicted this outcome. Democrat voters in New York City have chosen Zohran Mamdani as their mayoral candidate. He is an avowed socialist Islamist who has never held a real job, gratuitously tosses around promises of giving away almost everything for free, has publicly stated his determination to defund the police, campaigned on tax-payer funding of “gender-affirming care,” and who vociferously defends all illegal immigrants, including those convicted of heinous crimes, from deportation. Mamdani wants to empty the jails in New York, claiming that violence is an artificial construction. His commitment to socialist ideals is informed by his Islamic faith, which includes his refusal to retract or apologize for trafficking in incendiary antisemitic language such as “globalize the intifada” for over a decade in a city with two million Jews, second only to Tel Aviv.Of course, Mamdani won't abolish the NYPD. Meh, maybe he'll do just that?! But you can just imagine the kind of individuals who will make up their ranks once the sane ones have fled or are forced out. Worse, those who remain and will "just follow orders" to preserve protect and defend their pensions.

Happy Canada Day to our fellow Hordians in the Great North.
Today in Newfoundland, it's Memorial Day. July 1st marks the first day of the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The 1st Newfoundland Regiment attacked at Beaumont Hamel and was virtually wiped out, suffering over 90% casualties. Major-General Sir Beauvoir De Lisle of the 29th Division, to which the Newfoundlanders were attached, said of them, "It was a magnificent display of trained and disciplined valour, and its assault only failed of success because dead men can advance no further."
Today, a memorial Caribou, its head raised in defiance toward the enemy lines, marks where they fell.

Not only that 100% of the the Inflation Reduction (hahahaha) Act gone via inflation.
71.22-52.80=18.42

The bottom line, from the content and the comments is that he was 20, born in CA (I assume Los Angeles), moved to AZ, then ID, was a Latino, a gang member, with mental health issues, and there's a hint that he was trans. Some say he was angry at his parents for being MAGA.
At a press conference, a cop said there had been a number of calls about him before. Several non-violent things, like trespassing, where the cops told him to leave and he did. But there were a number of "wellness checks" as well (apparently due to the mental health issues). Ridiculous, how the cop brushed that off. Cop said he didn't like calling him "Mr" (leading some to think "trans").
Wouldn't any violent offences be hidden from the public, because he was a minor?
His former roommate was interviewed. He had kicked this kid out because he was a gang member and too creepy to have around his family. The editing of that interview tried hard to hide those facts.
Yeah, so not a white supremacist MAGA guy - just a disturbed leftist lunatic from CA. Expect the corporate media to bury this, pronto.

Trump appointed him to DOGE. DOGE didn't fizzle. Trump did. There's good reason to be at war with the BBB. It's already not working, as you yourself know by your comments on the Senate above.
What do you care if Musk plays with rockets?
The reason for the new party is because no one here voted for the country to continue heading toward bankruptcy on account of the still-here uniparty feed trough. All musk is saying is that the new GOP is the same as the old one and Trump doesn't see what's coming.

I was WONDERING why Trump stopped the fighting, when the good guys were winning, and no permanent solution could be had until the mullahs are out. I figured maybe it was terrible optics if Israel and/or the US were seen as taking down the regime - it needed to be a popular uprising.
It would make sense that they would have had an insurgency ready to unleash after the military attack did what it needed to, and I have to think that's exactly what's going on.

I don't know that that's the case anymore. The issue now is that you CAN make so very much money in it, starting the day you turn 18, and the younger generation of women is bombarded by the message that they should be fucking as many guys as they possibly can. Why not get paid for it at the same time.
Then most of them don't get rich. And they can't really date anyone from outside the industry. And they've done so many disgusting things.
The system told them that it was a way to beat the world when, in fact, it was a way for the world to make a buck from their destruction.

Elon was mad about the last minute "clean" energy tax changes and the fossil fuel tax changes. He knows they will personally screw his businesses and his Mars work, and he thinks he got stabbed in the back.
He's wrong - they needed to go. But he was always a liberal, benefitting from "clean" energy tax rebates before he became MAGA. And folks tend to vote their wallets 1st, which he now says he will...even if his wallet could never realistically spend more money...
It's why we were always Musk allies, but not Musk friends. All of his desires are not all of our desires. The original H1-B discussion showed that - this is showing it more.

Members of Congress, even those on the right, are de-facto members of the globalist aristocracy. It takes a person of enormous personal integrity to do things antithetical to their interests. People with enormous personal integrity may run for office but they rarely win and, when they do, they leave office quickly rather than remain surrounded by the swamp.

Not an OF bimbo who poses and strips for money. There’s a difference between the girl who gets fucked violently on camera while she’s choking on a footlong dick, and the girl who shows you her boobs for $20.

I'm going to treat this as a serious question so I'll give it a serious answer.
Trump has ended every single questionable thing that DOGE uncovered that wasn't specifically authorized by Congress. He then asked Congress to deal with the things that were specifically authorized by Congress.
Why didn't he just act on his own to get rid of things which specifically authorized by Congress? Because that would be a violation of federal law.
But people don't actually want to know why they can't have a cookie right now. They just want to stomp their feet and bitch about how things are happening fast enough to suit them.

My best friend married a Cajun and they host a crawfish boil every year. She sent me home with a rather sizable amount of the beasts. My wife actually took the time to remove the meat from all of them and mixed it with rice.

Most burn out in a few years and still make most of their money stripping as a headline act and as high class call girls. That’s why so many get boob-jobs - big breasted girls make a lot more money stripping.
Also many of them start small just to pay tuition or the rent - doing webcams or OnlyFans, and then get discovered and then they’re in films.
Only the most beautiful and talented and smart can make it past their mid-20s, like a Jenna Jameson who turned her career into her own production studio.
Several ended up dead from drug overdoses, where they are “found dead” in their apartments, alone, days later.
People think they’ve all been sexually abused as children but a lot aren’t, they’ve got mental and addiction issues that lead them down that road, and once you’re in that lifestyle it’s difficult to get out.

She was pleasant and intelligent, but once people found out she was either shunned by the other women or aggressively pursued by guys.

60 votes are typically required in the Senate. This is because a senator can raise a point of order against a provision deemed extraneous by the Parliamentarian, and it takes a three-fifths majority (60 out of 100 senators) to waive that point of order and overrule the Parliamentarian’s recommendation.
Alternatively, the presiding officer (often the Vice President) can overrule the Parliamentarian’s advice directly, but this is rare and has not occurred since 1975. Some sources suggest the possibility of a simple majority (51 votes) overriding the Parliamentarian by using the "nuclear option" to set a new precedent, though this is debated and not universally accepted. However, the standard and most commonly referenced threshold remains 60 votes.

I was there with some friends.
He was in town to promote The Miracle of St. Anna. He just wanted a place to watch some football one evening.
I shook his hand as he passed into a back room with his two, very large black men who were his entourage.

Because senate rules require for this particular reconciliation process that it is directly related tax or budget. That’s why the NFA tax elimination portion remains but the registration part does not. Medicaid changes are a little more complex, but eliminating benefits for illegal immigrants is more a registration requirement than an actual budget issue.
Not saying I completely agree. But you have to be careful what you wish for. It’s probably that one day Democrats will have a majority. If you open that door, you can’t shit it. And yes, I know Democrats are talking about doing exactly that should they ever regain a majority. Same with the filibuster. But they know as well as us, that’s a double edged sword.

Which reminds me- yesterday outside a "Learning Center" for kids I saw a stocky person. Who was very tall and had a huge yellow hat with. A wide Brim, yellow dress and yellow shoes. It was clear that they were a fake transgender. It is disturbing that they are hanging around outside a school. Why do some of these transgenders wear clothes that look like they're from the 1950's? . Is that going to convince us they're real women.

Second generation feminism was in part a reaction to the 50s, so anything women commonly did then became bad.
But...this cemented in the public consciousness that these were things that were part of being a woman
So when trannies put on woman-face they want to pick the things people think most of as female. Sometimes it means dressing like a THOT, but sometimes it means dressing like a housewife from the 50s...

Basically germaness is the grounds that the parliamentarian is using (wrongly I think in some). Senate rules for reconciliation require the primary reason for a bill provision deal with taxes and spending and not policy. But the ruling over illegals accessing health care or the NFA removal as non germane requiring 60 votes is patently stupid. Illegals cost the US a lot in welfare costs and are not by law entitled to Medicaid or Obamacare. So preventing states from charging Uncle Sam for illegals has a large budget impact. The NFA ruling is even more specious and ignores Scotus decision calling it a tax.

A guess?
In the 2000's, men's and women's clothes got fairly androgynous. Guys wearing skinny jeans, women wearing khakis w/tees and button-down shirts (not heels, hose, etc.). The GAPification of apparel.
Now along come men who want to pass as women, but they can't wear everyday casual women's clothes because it doesn't include the cues that they are WOMEN. Dress in GAPwear and you look like a dude in make-up. Thus, they have to seek out overtly feminine clothes from an earlier era that scream "It's MA'AM!!"

Anyone can write code
Interestingly enough, writing code was the subject of interest in the conversation between the gSon and gDaughter when I drove them home late afternoon yesterday. Actually, gSon did most of the talking, but he was really jazzed about the whole thing, which was for the two of them to create a game that would garner lots of users and a high rating.
The caveat, which made me laugh, was when gSon told gDaughter, "The catch is that I will need infinite screen time to do my part of the work." I laughed at that, only to be met with the rebuke, "Coding is hard work, grandpa!"
They are ten and eight years old.

Had a nice day off yesterday. Took a walk at the local park with FenSpouse. It was very quiet. There have a building there that looks like a little English stone cottage and has all kinds of flowers around. It. We walked over a bridge to the canal and it was quiet. We saw a guy fishing and he had caught one bass. Also saw sliders on a log. Later in the day we went for ice cream at a place we hadn't been to since the young man was a little boy The people in the park were all smiling and when we said hello they said hello as well. It is good to be out in nature!
Oh, yes, I sat down on a bench to look at a pond and underneath the bench was $5.00 . There was nobody else around there and it was placed so neatly that I wondered if someone had placed it there on purpose.

Yes, the way it sometimes worked was that the editors would commission a painting, or at least a sketch, of a future cover, then ask one of their established writers to write a story using it as a springboard. The story might take off in the typewriter in a totally different direction, or the artist might change the painting before final delivery. Crap shoot.

So true. In fact, a problem you see in inexperienced and, frankly, incompetent programmers is a tendency to simply rewrite the code they're tasked with maintaining because it's faster than understanding the existing code well enough to properly modify it.
Of course, when they're allowed to do it you get all sorts of brand new bugs plus all the old problems you worked though when the first version was originally written.

We've fostered rescues who were barely socialized. Time, patience, a regular rhythm of life and unobtrusive affection won them over.
One had never been around men. So I was the one who fed him and gave him treats. While we were gone, the TV was turned on to the MLB channel so he'd hear male voices.
What's sad is that while they eventually come around, their eyes are still haunted, as though they think the good life will suddenly come to an end.

Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!

The Brit medical journal Lancet says PDJT is in the process of killing 14 million people by gutting USAID. That's their official estimate, about the same number of civilian deaths during WW1.

Self-driving cars seem to do pretty well until they hit an edge case and the algorithm makes the wrong choice.

The streets in Austin are kinda fucked up at all times. My youngest, who's doing a traffic internship before they get their civil engineer degree, says that at one point there's a spot for two cars to park on a one-way street right before an intersection. Just two cars. Sometimes drivers, not paying attention, will stop behind the parked cars thinking that they're waiting at the light. They're writing up a recommendation to get rid of those parking spots.

I cut slack for regular posters. If they're on some hobby horse, I usually just skip the post. For Sid, raimondo, alias and others, I don't even know why they bother to post.

Had a nice day off yesterday. Took a walk at the local park with FenSpouse. It was very quiet. There have a building there that looks like a little English stone cottage and has all kinds of flowers around. It. We walked over a bridge to the canal and it was quiet. We saw a guy fishing and he had caught one bass. Also saw sliders on a log. Later in the day we went for ice cream at a place we hadn't been to since the young man was a little boy The people in the park were all smiling and when we said hello they said hello as well. It is good to be out in nature!
Oh, yes, I sat down on a bench to look at a pond and underneath the bench was $5.00 . There was nobody else around there and it was placed so neatly that I wondered if someone had placed it there on purpose.

Sounds like you needed the extra sleep.
That park sounds like it would be very relaxing, we have something similar in Owens Cross Roads, but without the stone building.
Pay that $5 forward at another park where kids can find it.

Color me skeptical She Went On a Vacation to Iran: ‘It was Nothing Like I Expected’
Chiara Herlemann, who is originally from Germany, travelled across the Middle Eastern country for ten days at the end of May. Before getting on the plane, Chiara says she was quite nervous about whether the trip would be unsafe after reading about Iran in online news reports. But, she was incredibly surprised when she arrived to find the country a welcoming and friendly destination. “I was very nervous to go and a lot of my friends were warning me that it was really dangerous,” she told SWNS news agency. “Every time I saw something about Iran in the news it was just some blurry pictures that looked like North Korea. “When I got there, I was so surprised.” “Everything was so different from what I expected. The people were so friendly. The men were helping me with my bags and making sure I was okay. *** “It is known as an Islamic country, but it doesn’t really feel like it, it was very westernized. “As a woman you have an instinct when something isn’t right, and there wasn’t a single moment where I felt like that.” Chiara says her favorite parts of the trip were the “kind people” and the food, with her favorite sight being the Blue Mosque.Read the whole thing and decide for yourself.
A Texas man recently made the shocking discovery that he had somehow become married to the woman he had just broken up with, without his consent.Check out the story at the link. Here is a news report on the story:
Imagine breaking up with someone only to find out the next day that you are legally married to them, even though you never even attended a marriage ceremony. This is the bizarre experience of a Texas man who claims he was married to his ex-fiancée without his knowledge. The 42-year-old man, whose identity has not been revealed, admitted to having been in a committed relationship with 36-year-old Kristin Marie Spearman and visiting the Wayne County clerk’s office to get a marriage license. However, the pair never made it to the altar. They got into an argument, and the man told Spearman that he didn’t want to be in a relationship with her, but his ex-fiancée had other plans…

Today on the beach, I dug up an ancient spent .50 cal casing. Corroded as hell. My BIL (West Pointer, Ranger, 160th SOAR) was with me and just looked at me, and it, and said "'Murica!"
But what the hell was it doing on an OBX beach?

Well, maybe there's some slight chance he will open up as to why he did that awful crime. I am quite OK with the death penalty where the conviction is a foregone conclusion, but it seems to me that this case was a difficult one, with no guarantee of a conviction. And there are a lot of motivated bleeding hearts out there that would try to get on the jury to hang it.

He was an articulate spokesman for the Dissident Right, and an early critic of ConInc. He had some strong opinions, but he wasn't for sale.
He reportedly died of natural causes. As far as I know he did not have any information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of Hillary Clinton.

I wrote about it last night, but will give you the reader’s digest version- It was a very pretty dress, shockingly so. Lauren looked lovely and I hope it sticks. I love priest buttons, had them all down the back of my wedding gown for my now defunct marriage. Pain to get in it, but looks lovely. A mermaid dress is perfect for an hourglass figure, which she has. D&G did right by her.

Basically 17th Century French; archaic now.
And we schoolkids in the West had to take a mandatory 4 years of French in school. And what did they teach? Parisian French, which is almost unintelligible to a Quebecer, and makes Quebec "joual" unintelligible to a English speaker trained in it. They could have trained up teachers to train us in Quebec French, and we might not have this gulf we have today. Opportunity wasted; Liberals to blame.

Well, maybe there's some slight chance he will open up as to why he did that awful crime. I am quite OK with the death penalty where the conviction is a foregone conclusion, but it seems to me that this case was a difficult one, with no guarantee of a conviction. And there are a lot of motivated bleeding hearts out there that would try to get on the jury to hang it.

Didn't the Eff.Bee.EYE and/or local PD bulldoze the ENTIRE FCKING HOUSE?
I have no problem with the death penalty for such a horrible crime. I have a *huge* problem with flagrant evidence tampering or outright destruction, which is either being reported more often or happening more often overall. WTF is going on when the so-called authoritays can't do something basic like secure a crime scene?

There’s been a long running (75 years) issue about a thing called depletion allowances which the left calls subsidies and which oil producers say no, it’s just a slight break on the taxes they pay to encourage production.
Seriously people have spent years arguing this one, I don’t want to go into it any more than that.

What are these fossil fuel tax breaks?
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr.

Actually a very good question.
I am not aware of any tax breaks on buying an IGE vehicle.
Or piping you home with natural gas of relying on the power company vs. solar cells and power walls.
Gasoline tax at state and federal level to pay for roads vs. none for all electric cars.
Paying for oil license on public land which takes small footprint vs. subsidized wind and solar farms which hog land, not that either have jack to do with Musk...
No clue what Musk is bitching about.
Needs to get his ass to Mars with his harem ASAP.
BTW - heavily subsidized.

When Biden gave the Taliban $80B in weapons the FNM told me it was a lie. Why a lie? Well after a generous calculation based on deprecation it was only worth $24B.
Same idea as depletion allowances, except when Acme Oil Inc goes to sell old equipment they get less for it. When the Taliban sold our stuff to China and Russia they got MORE then the listed value.

Try Cheshire cheese from Merrye Olde Englande, available from Zingerman's. You can make an insane Cheese and Onion Pie with that stuff. Cheshire was England's most popular cheese for hundreds of years until it was crushed by Cheddar because Cheddar's production was standardized and modernized. Cheshire is godly in flavor. Expensive thanks to its rarity now.

Most store brands of “Sharp” Cheddar taste like a mild Colby. I don’t know if there are any regs on aging, but that’s what makes it sharp. Once in a great while they will slip up and get the real deal. Gets slightly crumbly. For some reason ya hafta buy “extra sharp” cheddar to get a passable whang to to it, and it is only supplied in those twee faggoty 8 oz packages, no 2 pound blocks, no sir. The white Tillamook is consistently good, the orange stuff less so. Still excellent.

I know several very Lefty lawyers that do murder cases.
As Lefties, they all staunchly oppose the death penalty as just a form of shallow revenge and you might get the wrong guy.
Yet I see LOTS of cases where the (alleged) murderer pleads guilty if the death penalty is taken off of the table.
There is a huge value in that to me, so at least none of those f*ckers get to walk around free in society, at least any time soon, when there is always a chance of an acquittal.

GSP recalculated the 30 year normals last year to 1990 - 2020, as opposed to 1980 - 2010. so that switched around the wettest and driest normal months a good bit. They do that every 10 years or so. For some things 20 year normal ranges are used, but 30 year is the main one.

Normals are not just simple means over the 30 year period. Outliers are suppressed. They still count, but are downweighted based on variance somehow. My late cousin was big on pointing out that difference.

My suspicion is they move more of the orange cheddar than they do the white. Other than the annatto coloring, there is no difference? Consequently a bit older, and thus more flavorful. You know, a strong whang to it. It’s OK if you don’t like Tillamook cheddar, just means more for me!

Well, that's interesting. Grok insists the NWS 30-yr normals are indeed basic averages, an no outlier down-weighting is used. For specific things like degree-days, such smoothing is used, but not for the basic normals.
Since my cousin is no longer around, I can't ask him to clarify. But he was big on pointing out normals weren't averages.

It wasn't a guided tour, per se in Iraq. There was a young woman I found by word of mouth, with a small business arranging travel in Iraq, who arranged our visas, hotels, a rough itinerary, etc. She met us at the airport, got us to our hotel, took us around Baghdad for the first day. She arranged for a driver for the rest of the trip, and gave us recommendations as far as sites, etc. and her phone number. She checked in regularly, multiple times a day, and of course our driver wouldn't have let us go anywhere unsafe, but it wasn't like a Rick Steven's type tour in a bus with a group of people. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience. And we didn't pay for a meal the entire time we were there. Even the tiniest little street vendors refused to take our money, and random, very kind strangers bought our meals in restaurants. I'd go back again in a heartbeat.
We had private guides in Oman. Armed, although I never felt unsafe at all. I had connections through a perfumer I know, and I think he was worried something might go wrong, although it wasn't at all scary. Oman felt like another world and time. Magical.

And it is. The Good Lord blessed us in our 50s, so I was able to start, but looking back, I wish I would've just found a way and not worried about the expense. However, with the internet, most people are probably just a best friend's second cousin's college roommate away from knowing someone who knows someone who's mother in law knows a lady with a daughter who'd be happy to put you up a few days in a country you'd like to visit. 😊

"Close Harris allies acknowledge the sting of Harris' failed White House bid has not fully dissipated among the donor class..."
These people think shit will go back to normal after all the shit they've pulled. They are delusional. It may not go down as anyone expects with tech singularity, demographic collapse, future muslim Europe, and fiscal reckoning all jousting vs each other - but whatever enfuckening is coming is a done deal at least as far as it starting. They are as disconnected from the downstream future as a random sampling of upper crust normies in 1910 or so, and in a few decades their fiefs and households will be dust, mostly.

I like listening to both him and Graham Hancock.
It's fascinating how much 'science' today is nothing but a guild. And archaeology certainly fits the guild mold.
Those two destroy the archaeology guild's story with which we have all been indoctrinated and are hated for doing so.
After all, gotta believe those eggspurts, not those rank amateurs like Carlson and Hancock.
Listening to both, I do believe our civilization is older than we've been led to believe. I also believe some event, man-made/natural/from space took out that world, leaving behind some amazing megaliths, megaliths which have been built upon over generations.
I'm not sure why the archaeology guild is so invested in their story. Not monetarily, I get that, but scientifically.

When you look at Gobleki Tepe and other Turkish tepes, there is just no way humans from that long ago could possibly make the structures they made at those sites with the tools then known to be at hand. yet here they are. Deliberately buried. Why? When? The Guild has nothing to say.
Hancock also thinks that maybe some of these megalith walls with the precise joints were put together through technology lost. He thinks it might have been harmonics, chanting. Seems peoples have been chanting for forever so maybe. That somehow sound temporarily liquified the stone/rock making it malleable. As good a theory as any. Anyone studying ancient history knows a lot of human knowledge went up in flames with the Library at Alexandria. For example, no one up to today has been able to emulate greek fire. Close, but not quite. The formula was lost.

There was power in the knowledge of future events, like solar and lunar eclipses, becoming god-like by controlling natural forces/events and all that.
Ancient Egypt, too, was obsessed with the sky. How Giza aligns with certain stars and how the Sphninx aligns with the sun. And they were not constructed at the same time. The Sphinx is much older, by thousands of years, although The Egyptology Guild denies this.

I really enjoy this kind of thing. But I categorize it in the same genre as In Search Of (a childhood favorite of mine) and Missing 411 (a more recent guilty pleasure).

About fifteen years ago or thereabouts, there were times when I'd return from our place in Sussex County in the wee hours of the night. It was a two hour drive, and mostly on the major N-S artery, Delaware Route 1.
Strangely enough, there would be convoys of 18-wheelers out at that time, headed north, too. Many were labelled as carrying chicken to market from the poultry processors down there. It struck me as odd to witness the chicken haulers travelling in packs.

Hello

I've seen enough fireworks in my life.
I could enjoy a 4th fine without them.

(Though our massively spoiled doggo thinks we are mean because we don't give him ALL the food on our plates. We give him morsels, and it's not enough. Also that we won't let him hump the blankets in the living room we use when we are watching TV. I dunno why that's a thing for him, but it is!)

One our late dogs was so terrified of fireworks the vet gave us a prescription for sedatives. He would sleep through the fireworks. We tried loud music and TV, nothing worked.

They fought a cataclysmic war against the Draeyyganns, an invasive mutated lizard species that were the last of the giant dinosaurs. They were basically 40 foot long Komodo dragons that were killing everything in their path and would have dominated the earth. The Zhanshi won the war, but paid the ultimate price. None survived.
The only remaining pandas were tiny stunted ones, the runts of their kind. Those became the pandas we know today. So laugh if you will. But at one time eons ago, pandas defeated dragons and saved the world.

SO. THE LAUREN SANCHEZ WEDDING DRESS. I HAVE THOUGHTS.
1) I am TICKED that everyone is comparing it to Kate Middleton's dress, and bashing it because she's copying Middleton. When she was CLEARLY inspired by Grace Kelly's iconic, perfection of a wedding dress (which Kate Middleton and Sarah Burton of McQueen clearly used as their inspiration, with a modern twist.)
She also is known to be enamoured by Sophia Loren (who I feel like, with her hourglass figure, european sophistication, and chiseled face, Lauren is trying to morph into.) It is CLEARLY inspired by the wedding dress in Houseboat.
2) Granted, Lauren's dress IS the Temu/Shein mashup of Sophia and Grace's dresses. It manages to be tacky and classy at the same time. But if you are getting married in Venice, having Dolce and Gabbana, the old Italian queens, make your dress, is appropriate. It looks like they took an old Italian mama's wedding dress from the 50s and decked it up in modern sophistication (and that horrible fishtail hem, ugh.) Very on brand for D&G.

3) Katie Couric mean girl'd about the Sanchez wedding dress, saying that it brings 80s era tackiness back to fashion. She means the 80s Trump era, when Trump was in his golden age of both business and pop culture. She's clearly forgetting about all the tackiness that EVERY era has in fashion. The long nails, clodhopper heels, nearly nude dresses, Gaga meat dresses, everyone wearing the horrible Marchesa dresses by Georgina Chapman even though they are hideous, because Georgina was married to Weinstein and they wanted to stay on his good side...
Trump didn't bring the 80s excess back, honey. It's always been here. And Gen Z and Gen Alpha are obsessed with 80s/90s trends to that is also why they have been back in a big way for several years now.
Anyway, I love that Bezos and Sanchez tried to be the biggest news this week, and for Katie it's still about Trump. Live rent free in their heads for life, Donald! It amuses me.

Lauren Sanchez' wedding dress IS the Temu version of Grace Kelly's and Sophia Loren's dresses, and the silhouette and the buttons and the heavy lace make it a bit odd, but very on brand for D&G. But bless her for trying to bring some classy european sophistication to it, even if it is a little tacky.
Also, I give her props for having sleeves!!! I though it would be boobs and busty all over the place. I give her props for attempting to be tasteful and bring some glamour back with her D&G dress, even it the result isn't fully successful.
I'm just sad that it seems like a lot of people don't know their fashion history. It's as if the first lace wedding dress in history was worn by Kate Middleton. I fear for the youths.

I wouldn't care, except Bezos and all the people who attended his wedding think THEY have the right to tell the rest of us how to live.
They want to all gather in hundreds of private jets to Venice, and spend gazillions of money, but we can't use AC, we have to use soggy paper straws, and we have to eat the bugs.
I don't care about Bezos and his ilk. But he cares a LOT about me and how I live my life.

My youngest daughter used to do all kinds of pet-sitting jobs when she was a young teen.
In one case, she got $50/day to feed/play/potty break animals at noon, and then sleep overnight in a king-sized bed with two dogs and two cats.
I asked how she slept in a strange bed, she said she slept great and the animals didn't bother her at all during the night.
Of course, all of the jobs like that were through "networking" where she was recommended directly for jobs by other people that knew her well (and we knew - for her safety).
Got any friends in the area that might know some good pet-sitters for you?
If not, can you take the dog to the cabin? Warm enough to sleep outdoors in a crate if the cabin owner has a no pets rule?

I was as well. However, the boy had one, a knock off later version, and I have a photo of him wearing his onesie pajamas leaning back on it like he was boss of the raceway. I have threatened to use it as blackmail more than once.
I also taught him to sing "Born to be Wild!!!" at top volume while "motoring."

I did t even know it was happening until Thursday or Friday last week. And only because I saw some headlines of people in Venice protesting.
Protesting a wedding. Lol. Some people need to be angry about something 24/7/365.

You remember correctly, despite the nic change several years back. I just don't have so much to say these days, part because I just started repeating myself, part from frustration, and part because younger voices seem to be saying what I would, just better, these days.

Hey now, I remember you were quite cool and I've wondered what became of you. I was really touched by what you were doing for your dad and it made me SICK to think (this was when Hillary was running for prez) of how much she truly hated people like you and how she was basically out to get you. Now delurk and share! You had a lot of interesting experiences and insights!

That BIG WHEEL'S commercial was filmed in my hometown of La Crescenta Ca. at none other than "Two Strike Park."
A place where I played baseball and used to just walk down to from my home, blocks away. There was this large slope of grass coming down from the baseball field that we used to slide down using pieces of cardboard boxes like sleds. Can't tell you how many times we kids were on those extra-large swings. In my early teenage years, we used to sneak into the park around midnight to swing but the obvious "Squeaks" would piss off the neighbors and get a Sheriff Car into the parking lot shining the spotlight around to chase us off.

My hubby's the same way with his quick wit. We've had so much rain in the last week that a big old oak tree that was leaning off the side of a hill in our backyard fell to the ground Thursday night. No wind, just highly saturated ground that couldn't support it. Pulled the roots right out of the ground, too.
The tree fell on one of hubby's parts car. All the branches and leaves totally concealed the car from view.
Hubby said, "You might be a redneck if a tree falls and your yard looks better," lol. ;-)

Quick Hits
A historic and tumultuous quarter is wrapping up with U.S. stocks at records and many investors betting the ride isn't over yet. The April swoon that carried the S&P 500 to the brink of a bear market has been erased and then some. The broad index has now added more than 8% since President Trump announced sweeping tariffs that sparked havoc in markets. Now, investors have more reasons to feel upbeat. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index hit fresh all-time highs on Friday. Robust corporate earnings and solid economic data suggest that growth remains resilient. Inflation is trending near the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Banks that slashed their year-end targets for the S&P 500, such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, are raising them again.
The DOJ has formally found Harvard in violation of federal civil rights law, and instructs it to either bring itself into compliance with federal law immediately or lose all federal funding. Ed Morrissey, with quotes from the WSJ:
Law schools usually offer prestigious slots on the school's law review based on grades and a blindly-graded writing sample. This is therefore a pure meritocracy -- which makes DEI types hate it. Duke Law found a work-around for rules against racial discrimination, though: They sent minorities and minorities only an email telling them that while they cannot just mark each application by race so they can make sure they give minorities the slots and take them from the White Devils, if the minorities just let them know in their writing samples that they are minorities, they'll grade those writing samples more charitably and get them spots on the law review they're not qualified for based on objective criteria.
The DoJ offered Harvard to explore the Hillsdale College option to avoid any further consequences for its failure to abide by Title VI. If not, the DoJ warns, the direction of the next lawsuit will get inverted and Harvard may have more legal trouble than it bargained for:
In a letter sent to Harvard President Alan Garber on Monday and viewed by The Wall Street Journal, attorneys for the administration said the investigation found that Harvard knew Jewish and Israeli students felt threatened on its campus and acted with deliberate indifference.This finding not only complicates any efforts to restore funding that has already been cut off, it disqualifies Harvard from any further access to federal funds. They have three options, none of which are going to be pleasant for Garber under the circumstances. They could go the Hillsdale College route and eschew any federal funding to remain completely independent, as the DoJ letter suggests, but Hillsdale built their financial model with that policy in mind. Harvard's business model entirely depends on federal subsidies and grants. They would have to pare down their offerings significantly to compete in the marketplace against schools that comply with the law and still have access to those federal funds.
"Failure to institute adequate changes immediately will result in the loss of all federal financial resources and continue to affect Harvard's relationship with the federal government," the letter states. "Harvard may of course continue to operate free of federal privileges, and perhaps such an opportunity will spur a commitment to excellence that will help Harvard thrive once again." Harvard didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. A formal "notice of violation" of civil-rights law generally is a step that can come before either a lawsuit from the Justice Department or a voluntary resolution with the school. Under past presidential administrations, civil-rights investigations at universities usually ended with voluntary resolution agreements.
At the end of finals period each May, the Duke Law Journal hosts a two-week-long competition to select its next crop of editors. Applicants write a 12-page memo, or casenote, analyzing an appellate court decision, as well as a 500-word essay about what they would "contribute" to the journal. Students are chosen based on their grades, casenotes, and personal statements. Less than 20 percent of the class makes it onto the law review, which is overseen by Duke Law School and has no legal existence apart from it. To help students prepare for the competition, the journal circulates a guide on how to write the casenote. Last year, however, it decided to give some students an additional document. In a packet prepared for the law school's affinity groups [that is, its race and sexuality-based exclusionary clubs], the journal instructed minority students to highlight their race and gender as part of their personal statements--and revealed that they would earn extra points for doing so. The packet, obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon, included the rubric used to evaluate the personal statements. Applicants can earn up to 10 points for explaining how their "membership in an underrepresented group" will "lend itself to ... promoting diverse voices," and an additional 3-5 points if they "hold a leadership position in an affinity group." To drive home the point, the packet included four examples of personal statements that had gotten students on the law review. Three of those statements referenced race in the first sentence, with one student boasting that, "[a]s an Asian-American woman and a daughter of immigrants, I am afforded with different perspectives, experiences, and privileges." A fourth student waited until the last paragraph to disclose that she was "a Middle Eastern Jewish woman," an "intersectional identity" she said would "prove useful" in a "collaborative environment." "As a woman," the student wrote, "and a woman with Middle Eastern heritage, I also understand of [sic] the importance of presenting a solid work product and building credibility." The packet was only distributed to the affinity groups, according to a person familiar with the matter, which meant that minority students had access to inside information about the scoring process. The journal explicitly told those groups not to share the packet with other students, according to messages reviewed by the Free Beacon, and indicated on the first page that it had been made for affinity groups. When the Supreme Court banned affirmative action in 2023, it said that colleges and universities could not use essays as a Trojan horse for racial preferences. The documents from Duke illustrate how a top law review has skirted that directive, creating a points-based system that foregrounds race and could put the law school in legal jeopardy. "This is clearly illegal," said David Bernstein, a professor of constitutional law at George Mason University. "They're using the personal statement as a proxy for race."Harmeet Dillon, head of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, weighs in:

Republicans are proud to be Americans.
Democrats are proud to be better than Americans.
Currently popular on the Toks is videos of the trash and debris just lying and piling up on the streets of major US cities.
And I realize the brilliance of Trump targeting cities for enforcement:
1) lots of fish in the pond
2) they were doing the jobs those "Americans" there are too good to do
When the trash piles up, first they'll blame Republicans. Then, they'll demand their slaves back.
Then they'll blame the Democrats.
But the rest of the country will see how much they were exploiting illegals, how lazy and racist libs are and what voting for Democrats gets you.
Good.

I've had this idea for a movie that takes place during the COVID era, it's kind of a mashup of It's A Mad Mad Mad World meets convoy meets Smokey and The Bandit, whereby all of these truckers have to race to California to pick up a MacGuffen and get it back to the east coast.
Daniel Day Lewis is in it in a comedic role, his driving partner is a midget, and there's a scene where they get drunk and he has to toss his partner into the truck.
I just want to see DDL tossing a midget.
This is definately a film PTA would direct.

This is not surprising. I like Musk and his GFY attitude, but we all knew right from the moment he went MAGA that eventually he was going to flake out. I'll admit I thought it would take longer - I was guessing late summer - but he barely made it three months before starting to flake, and only about three weeks after that to fully arrive.
I wish him well, but I don't care if he goes on to other things, as long as he doesn't go out of his way to hose things up for the rest of us (which he will, of course, probably do). He's not a bad guy. He's an autistic genius with unlimited resources and nobody to tell him when to tap the brakes. Trying to predict him is a fool's errand.

I suspect Elon is in his "Mr. Elon goes to Washington" era, aka Trump in 2016. It really is amazing how much ridiculousness has to happen in DC to get anything done. It's eye opening when you see it and the masks all get ripped off. But it can't change overnight though Trump is moving fast. He also has to be daddy Trump to the world and play peacemaker. Lots to do, complicated business!
The two problems with Elon protesting too much, methinks, are:
1) Americans DO need tax relief, and tax relief involves more money now, but that will be offset by other bills implementing DOGE cuts later (fingers crossed),
2) Elon is unhappy that some of the cuts Trump wants to implement are to Elon's own companies, especially SpaceX. It's super easy to slash someone else's budget, Elon, it's harder when it's your own. Walk the walk.
I DO feel we are long overdue for a new political party, though. The two main ones are entrenched, greedy, self serving dinosaurs, wallowing in a sewer swamp of corruption and graft. This is known. But how to make a successful new party like the Republicans did? That's the million dollar question.

You have to do what MAGA did. Work from within, because going third party makes the country worse and elects Dems. Find real candidates, speak on your issue in the party and sometimes hold your nose and vote on a compromise bill. And help vote out GOPe people, they suck.

There is no constituency for cutting spending or reducing the size, scope and reach of the federal government.
Not when 40%+ of your income is taxed and you don't know it.
And you're convinced that Social Security, Medicare, etc. are "your money."
We can go slow, chip away for decades, keep our eye on the prize.
Or do it fast and kill everyone over 65.
Those are the realistic options.

If the bill does not pass everyone that actually pays federal taxes will see a massive tax hike next year. The new federal withholding rates will kick in in January 2026 and people will be extremely pi$$ed when Uncle Sams decides to almost double the amount of fed taxes that gets withheld from their paychecks. That will make a difference in November.
And at this point it does not look like the BBB will be passed. And we will be fighting the debt ceiling fight at the end of summer again. We are our own worst enemy.

OHHHHH, lovely.
Does anyone remember the episode of Mad Men where the ad agent for Jaguar (the wonderful Jared Harris) has setbacks, partly because Jaguar cars are crap, and tries to kill himself with the Jaguar in the garage via the fumes, and it's such a crap car it won't even work, so he can't even kill himself properly?
I'm not saying the ad execs SHOULD try to do that, but I'm saying that kind of despair among their ranks would be understood.
Gays are not a loyal brand base. They focus more on you validating their self worth than what you are selling. That's the high. It doesn't mean they will actually buy the product validating them.

Some old investor comment: " the proposal to dramatically lower major bank capital requirements, especially when all sorts of unknown leverage (both financial and structural) has been percolating for several years beneath the surface, borders on insanity.
Of course, Wall Street mouthpieces are slobbering over the prospect of several TRILLION extra dollars of lending power, being tossed into the system. This smacks of criminal insanity. Simultaneously, we have Trump bloviating about "...interest rates should be 1% NOW..." and "...I won't appoint anyone who won't lower interest rates...".
What the hell are these idiots trying to do?? Maybe we don't want to know."

Here's my take: Republicans as a party formed pre-civil war, when states were still like fiercely independent mini countries. And Marxism hadn't infected everything yet. The war plus marxism erased the lines between states, for good or ill. And Marxism added a level or grievance envy and wrath to politics we now have to contend with.
Also, the early republicans had two main platforms, creating simple messaging:
1) The Democrats are corrupt and the Whigs are impotent, follow us, and
2) We will destroy the two "twin pillars of barbarism" (their actual words): slavery and polygamy.
Simple, effective messages and goals.
(Yes, I am aware it's ironic the LDS church is labeled as republican and red state, when the early church was fiercely persecuted by the Republican party due to polygamy.)

The Whigs were moribund as a national party when the Northern Whigs joined with some other small parties to form the GOP. They more or less carried on other Whig issues like sponsoring internal improvements in states for aiding business and trade. Agitation enhanced the Free Soil portion of the overall ticket. They had the advantage of no longer having the Southern Pro Slavery Whigs to paralyze the party.
I like the inclusion of Sumner's speech, but that just got him a beating.

State Department Revokes Visa for Immigrant British Rapper Who Chanted "Death Death to the IDF" at BBC-Broadcasted Music Festival
He had all the rich white twats in attendance -- tickets are 390 pounds -- chanting it too.
The State Department announced Monday that it revoked visas for a British rap group after it called for the death of Israeli soldiers onstage over the weekend. Members of the Bob Vylan band no longer can travel to the U.S. "in light of their hateful tirade ... including leading the crowd in death chants" at a Saturday music festival in the U.K., Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said in a Monday X post. The State Department's action aligns with the Trump administration's policy of renewed scrutiny of foreigners' visas over alleged hostility toward American values or national security. "Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Landau said. Bob Vylan did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. The group was scheduled to perform in the U.S. during a music tour that begins in October, The Standard reported.

The new "Superman" movie is probably woke. I can live without it.
"Recall how merchandise for Gunn’s new Man of Steel movie drops “The American Way” for “the human way.” We can guess Corenswet was likely coached by Gunn and the movie’s PR team to avoid stating “The American Way” in interviews. Rumors offer Gunn has injected his politics into the movie, something fans hope doesn’t bring down the entire film."

Rap was all the decadent things the Moral Majority said about long hair rock in the 50s. I think a lot of people just thought - "OK grandpa, the future is now old man" and dismissed the impact it would have on parts of our culture.
Maybe because of my heritage, I am very sensitive to how things appear. I imagine people around the world looking at US pop with women sticking their asses in the air and the songs about sex and drugs and glorifying murder. This is not a culture to be proud of.

Yeah, it originally started when I saw "Bobby Vee." Then I remembered the NC State coach was Jimmy V, not Bobby.
So I figured I would go as far away from reality as possible, with there still being some marginal connection. So Bobby Vinson becomes Vada Pinson.

By the hand of the almighty

But the introduction of the Reggae Beat/Feel did great things for other music genres.

There has been some heated discussions about that. I don't disagree, but some people point out that the military structure, the people that are still there wouldn't have it. Pakistan obviously isn't in that equation, but France and England certainly are.
Others have said those militaries are being infiltrated by Muslims daily, and they're radical, and will if it suits their inclinations, disobey orders and launch on whomever they feel is in their way.
It's complicated to launch nuclear weapons. It's not complicated to get to the point where you can.

James then subsequently said, "No, that can't be true, because it would have been the first time the Veterans Committee ever looked at statistics!"

And as many on the Left are eager to point out, since Israel has "universal; service," it means thsat EVERYONE in Israel, both genders, has to spend a year or two in the IDF when they're 18 or 19, so that technically ALL ISRAELIS "are IDF." So this is a call to kill any and all Israelis, anywhere you see them. Open season. Which is jjst one step away from open season on all Jews.

Yeah, Murphy is one of those guys you scratch your head over. Same as McGriff, who finally got in after having fallen off the ballot.

He really wasn't all that fast, but he was always in the right place. He'd get to balls others didn't because of positioning.
I never saw him get fooled on a play. Being a Cardinals fan my whole life (until I quit sportsball), I watched him, I watched Willie McGee, and I've seen all the highlight reels of Curt Flood.
Both McGee and Flood were fast enough to make up for their mistakes... most of the time. But not always. Edmonds never made mistakes.

The bill can't simply be imposed on Congress. Log rolling and horse trading is how it gets done. It gets a lot done, but not even close to everything we want. I think it lays the groundwork for getting more next time. To have a ln actual bill instead of another continuing resolution is a great improvement in and of itself.

Want to see a really great fielder? Watch footage of Barry Bonds. Someone would hit the ball, they'd cut to Bonds just standing there waiting for the ball to get to him. He knew based on the pitcher, the catcher, and the batter where the ball was likely to go and just walked over there. When the ball was out of the park, he'd be leaning hands on his thighs as the ball was way out no chance to get.
That is serious talent and skill. Its just not highlight reel material.

My only question about Edmonds, his hitting significantly improved after he got to St. Louis, and this was during the steroid era.

Yeah, Bonds was unquestionably the greatest defensive left fielder in history.
But that's almost like saying your girlfriend is the cleanest gal working in the whorehouse.
I always figured he played left and not center because of his ego. He would have been compared to others, and might not have come out on top.

Mantle is the perfect example of the argument for Peak Value versus Career Value.
He got hurt relatively early in his career. His fielding was never the same after that. Before that, he was at least as good as Mays in the field... and better at the plate.

I suspect Elon is in his "Mr. Elon goes to Washington" era, aka Trump in 2016. It really is amazing how much ridiculousness has to happen in DC to get anything done.
The two problems with him protesting too much are:
1) Americans DO need tax relief, and tax relief involves more money now, but that will be offset by other bills implementing all the DOGE cuts (fingers crossed),
2) Elon is unhappy that some of the cuts Trump wants to implement are to Elon's own companies, especially SpaceX. It's super easy to slash someone else's budget, Elon, it's harder when it's your own. Walk the walk.
I do feel we are long overdue for a new political party, though; the two main ones are entrenched in greedy self serving dinosaurs and a sewer swamp of corruption and graft.

We have or had a lovely, tasteful Juneteenth flag - red, white, and blue - to commemorate the end of slavery in the United State & the celebration of Black freedom and American identity.
And so, why in a few years has a new flag emerged for Juneteenth, one with Pan-African flag colors and often including a raised fist? Or the garden flags which state, "July 4th Juneteenth 1985 because my ancestors weren't free in 1776."
Yeah, I get it. The Pan-African flag and colors represents the unity and liberation of the people of African descent worldwide.
What about the Confederate flag? Oh, I see, it's controversial due to its ties to slavery and the Confederacy; nothing to do with Southern heritage.
Following the tragic 2015 Charleston church shooting, where nine African Americans were murdered by a young, white supremacist with autism, the Confederate flag was removed from the SC State House grounds & other locations, a direct response to the massacre and the flag's association with racial division and white supremacy.
It was also restricted for display & sale in/from many other US areas.
All in< 10 years.

"Thousands" of Migrant Children Trafficked Into Forced Child Prostitution Under Stutterin' Joe Biden Are Now Being Rescued by ICE
Why do all the things the Democrat Media tells us never happen keep happening?
A few weeks ago a Maryland Man was arrested for raping the teenaged illegal alien girl that Biden placed her with. He immediately forced her into sex. But the important thing is, she got to remain in America while being raped every day.
"Thousands" of migrant children who disappeared after being smuggled across the US-Mexico border under the Biden administration have been rescued from grim fates such as being sex-trafficked to pedophiles, according to border czar Tom Homan -- who revealed that a 14-year-old pregnant girl was found living with adult men just two weeks ago. In the latest episode of Miranda Devine's "Pod Force One" podcast, Homan said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have also located minors who were forced into servitude on ranches and chicken farms, as the agency searches for hundreds of thousands of migrant children unaccounted for during President Joe Biden's four-year illegal alien invasion. "There were 300,000 missing children under the last administration," said Homan. "We've found thousands of them ... We rescued victims of sex trafficking [and] two weeks ago, we rescued a 14-year-old that was already pregnant, living with adult men ... "We rescued some victims of forced labor. We found children working on ranches and chicken farms, not going to school, but enslaved labor in the United States of America ...
"Some of the children we found [were] perfectly fine with their families ... They just didn't respond to call-ins [because they] didn't want to face the consequences of immigration court." The number of unaccompanied alien children [UACs] entering the US surged to record levels under Biden, as changes to border enforcement policies incentivized families and smugglers to send minors to America. More than 500,000 children were recorded entering the country and were placed with sponsors while awaiting immigration proceedings. A report last August from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General found that the Biden administration lost track of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children and placed some with potentially dangerous sponsors who had not been adequately vetted. More than 31,000 addresses provided by sponsors turned out to be "blank, undeliverable, or missing apartment numbers," the inspector general reported. At one location, "sponsor addresses were incorrect 80 percent of the time." ICE officers at one field office also told the inspector general that thousands of migrant children had been released to sponsors "who are not immediate family and are not a parent, sibling, or grandparent." HHS released more than 14,500 migrant children in 2023 and more than 9,600 in 2024 "to unrelated sponsors" or distant relatives. ... Homan told "Pod Force One" that the Biden administration rushed the vetting process to avoid the "optics" of overcrowding at the border. "They didn't care about the invasion itself; it was the optics." DNA tests were routinely used during the first Trump administration to verify that an adult accompanying a child really was the parent, he said, but the Biden administration abandoned that policy. Homan said in some of the DNA testing "as high as 30 percent [of] the families weren't families. Not relatives at all. The [children] were being trafficked...
"A lot of parents paid a smuggling organization to bring their kids [over the border]. Some of these children were trafficked. We know HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] had several investigations where a child was rented by the criminal cartel to an adult male or female, crossed the border [and] when you're done, you send the kid back [and] re-rent them." Homan had harsh words for Democrat politicians like Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) who he said are "screaming and yelling about ICE arresting people and ICE enforcing the law. Meanwhile, in four years under Biden ... sex trafficking of women and children skyrocketed, not a word." "Thousands of children were being smuggled into the country every week. Over half a million children were smuggled into the United States. Separated from their families, put into the hands of criminal cartels... not a word."
@BillMelugin_An ICE raid on a meatpacking plant resulted in 76 arrests of illegals. Some illegals were using stolen social security numbers, casting some doubt on the claim that they're Mostly Lawful.
BREAKING: DHS has announced it is terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than half a million Haitians in the U.S., arguing that conditions in Haiti have improved enough for them to return home, and allowing the Haitians to remain is contrary to the national interest of the U.S. TPS for these Haitians will expire on 8/3/2025 and the termination will take effect on 9/2/2025, effectively giving the Haitians a little more than 2 months to leave the country or find another form of relief or legal status. DHS statement: "This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary," said a DHS spokesperson. "The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department's resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible."
Mostly Lawful, Mostly Peaceful. Meanwhile, the "Alligator Alcatraz" for illegal aliens will open tomorrow in a Florida swamp. The facility will hold 3000 illegals. DeSantis says he needs it because there are so many illegal alien criminals and he needs the jailspace for domestic offenders. He had it built in a literal alligator-infested swamp in just a week. The left is crying alligator tears:
In Nebraska, the state's largest worksite immigration raid sent a chilling effect across the city of Omaha this month when federal immigration authorities arrested 76 employees of a meatpacking plant. About a dozen of them have already been deported or transferred to out-of-state custody. Sixty-three others remain in immigration custody at the Lincoln County Detention Center in Nebraska. Federal authorities accuse the workers of using stolen identities from U.S. citizens to unlawfully gain employment at Glenn Valley Foods, a meatpacking plant that has been processing boxed beef for more than 15 years. The Center for Immigrant Refugee and Advancement, an immigrant rights organization in Omaha, provided legal consultations to most of them. Anne Wurth, the group's associate legal director, told NBC News they are "honest, hardworking individuals in our community" who have also been victims of an immigration system that "does not provide enough pathways" to remain in the country legally. "That's not true," said Elhrick Cerdan, the assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Nebraska, who led the enforcement operation at Glenn Valley Foods. In an interview, Cerdan rejected "this narrative that these hardworking illegal immigrants were just doing their daily job and trying to earn wages." "They were stealing the identities of over a hundred U.S. citizens," Cerdan said. Seven people have been charged in connection with the events surrounding the raid at Glenn Valley Foods. Only one of them faces charges of using someone else's Social Security number, court records showed as of Wednesday. "That number could change," Cerdan said, because the investigation continues. Four protesters, including two U.S. citizens who worked at the plant, face charges accusing them of jumping on law enforcement vehicles as they escorted detainees out of the facility, according to court records. A Honduran national was charged with resisting arrest and displaying a box cutter when agents tried to apprehend him. A Mexican national is charged with unlawful re-entry into the United States. An employee who was arrested was charged with false representation of a Social Security number.

My grandparents immigrated here in the 50s legally, and their process to become a citizen involved sponsorship and employment. They were basically indentured servants for that employer, and accountable to the sponsor, until they had put in their dues to get legalized. I think that program was shuttered (probably by liberals) because they worried about it being unfair and burdensome.
But THIS is ok? We ditched that system and opened the US up to rampant illegal immigration, so illegally trafficked children can be smuggled here to work on farms as slaves? And liberals are fine with this? Hell no.
The liberals ok with child slavery in the US, so they can have cheap gardeners and maids, and shrieking about the loss of their gardeners and maids on camera, can go to hell. Kids not getting raped trumps your bougie comforts.

Report from ICE cited a bunch of these cases where the ID theft resulted in all kinds of financial harm to the victims, ie. not a "victimless" crime.

I saw some of those examples in an article somewhere. Man, I didn't know ID theft could hurt that bad. People who couldn't get meds they needed because their SSNs were jacked, people who couldn't get other benefits. It takes literally YEARS to straighten out.

That's what drives a lot of the normie reaction to a wave of immigration "but they just want a better life, they are fleeing bad things! How can you tell them no???"
This is part of why there was such a visceral, angry reaction to Sound of Freedom. Objectively a movie no sane or decent person could conceivably condemn.
But it brought to light a horrific evil in a very personal and visual way. A way that hits home, hard, in the soul of people watching it.
For most of these people children being trafficked is pretty abstract and theoretical, probably a right wing exaggeration, and besides I don't want to think about it beause that's so awful.
But Sound of Freedom shoved it into their faces. And well the elite cannot have that now can they? Where would they get little Consuela and Maria and Juan to "entertain" them after a few lines of coke and a shot of adrenochrome at the spirit baking party?

in the wake of the satanic daycare claims, it became policy to interview a minor once, with LE, medical and psych evaluation in attendance. The hope was that with a single interview there would be less "additional" testimony brought in by the minor, who may be trying to be a good kid and complying with any request for information. It also is a way of reducing the stress on a kid who is already stressed horribly.
Minors have the right to opt out of any examination, or interview. There are CACs in every state, and though they are not perfect, they seem to be better than any other attempt. The interview informs LE on whether a case can be pushed forward or not, and what care may be needed for the child. some of it may be abusive by the state, but there is a need to evaluate claims of abuse for the courts.

It's all good.
Pizzagate is starting to look real, eh? How do you "misplace" hundreds of thousands of children?
I have always wondered, with the military age men arriving over the border and not many females with kids...were the coyotes paid by families to take the kids "for a better life?" Or were the kids kidnapped, never to be seen again? Some to small to even know their last name or where they came from, bless their hearts.
Nothing makes me madder than child abuse of any kind. Hell is too good for these people.

Indeed, narcissism is not "empathy". "Empathy" sounds like a good quality, so of course, they have it and you don't.
If they were "driven by empathy" some of them would have been a little alarmed by Trump ralliers being assaulted as they walked to and from a Trump rally.
I know, because if I were told that Trans-ralliers were simply, causally assaulted simply for walking to an event that other people didn't agree with, I could separate disagreeing with the cause of the rally from inflicting physical harm on people walking down the street.

That's because you have sympathy. You feel bad for what they ha to go through because it was bad and you are able to sympathize with people facing hardship and pain. You recognize that it sucks to have that happen because of experience in your past and feel for that other person. That is not empathy.
Empathy is entirely inwardly focused. Empathy is you feeling bad because you imagine yourself in that place and wouldn't like YOU to go through it. Empathy is not about concern or care for others, its about care for yourself. That means if you disagree with the other person, well that's not you, that would never happen to you because you're not like that.

You bring up a good point that maybe in past people were emotionally mature when younger. I can believe that but in our current culture many people are very immature well into the 20s.
To me, that is the point. These people are not attracted to youth and beauty, but to the defilement of the innocent. It is about power and rape. It is the Left's urge to destroy, which they do in so many ways in society, brought down on the the most vulnerable.

We moved to FL when our boys were babies. One morning I was walking with the toddler holding on to the stroller, and 6 months old infant in the stroller.
We had about 2 acres between us and the houses behind us due to a large drainage ditch, that was basically a canal. Chain lengh fenced backyard.
I was on the sidewalk with my boys near the culvert, and suddenly saw a 10' gator sunning himself (it was winter), about 20' from the sidewalk. Well, I should have gone backwards at a fast clip, but instead kept walking briskly and turned around to point the gator out to the toddler. He says he still remembers this.
About this time I'd seen in the paper that a gator climbed over a chain length fence to get a dog. A gator can also sprint at 45mph for a bit.
So I got home and called Animal Control WHO LAUGHED AT ME. Which was rude. He asked if the gator was trying to get my dog. I said, no dog but I have babies. No care!

Oh, it doesn't stop there. Melania Trump is an illegal immigrant too! SO HER KIDS ALL HAVE TO BE DEPORTED WITH HER LIKE BARRON! How about that, Trump huh? HUH???
None of that is true, but they all are gleefully posting it.

Politico: Kamala Harris Is Reaching Out to Democrat Leaders About a Bid for California Governor But "No One Is Incredibly Pumped"
Well I am. I bet most of you guys are too.
I want to hear more about what can be (jazz hand high left) unburdened by what has been (jazz hand low right). But we're not the people Politico is talking about. They're talking about Democrat donors not wanting to give her their money.Kamala Harris is ramping up her outreach to longtime supporters as she weighs a run for California governor. But many Democratic donors aren't enthusiastic, still hobbled by the hangover of her presidential loss. Some party funders have privately shared that ambivalence with each other as Harris has embarked on a quiet schedule of thank you visits, catch-up calls and listening sessions, touching base with her most trusted supporters as she weighs her options. The former vice president has tasked aides with exploring several paths, including not just a campaign for political office but also a philanthropic venture.Let me translate: What she really wants is to create a donation-sucking grift machine like Hillary Clinton did which will provide her with a salary, a floor of offices, a hired car and multiple drivers, and the illusion of prestige and influence. But if she can't have that, her back-up plan is running for governor and maybe losing. And worse, maybe winning. In other words: this is a threat. Set me up with a Clinton Foundation style grift, or I'll run for office, and I just might win and finish killing off the dying state.
As Mark Halperin always says, Kamala Harris simply does not like making decisions. And here she is again, unsure of what she should do. Instead of deciding for herself, she's asking other people to choose for her. He pointed out that Democrat donors are going to be even less inclined to donate to her due to her unable to decide if she even wants to be governor. It shows she lacks "fire in the belly" for the position.
In interviews, several major donors in the state told POLITICO they fear her reemergence as a candidate would re-open still-fresh wounds from her defeat in 2024. Some harbor lingering frustration about how her billion-dollar campaign juggernaut ended in debt and want assurances she would have a clear plan to win the governor's mansion. Others are impatient for Harris to start publicly making her case for why she'd want the job. "There was more enthusiasm at first," said Mather Martin, a San Francisco-based fundraiser who has worked for past Harris campaigns. "I think it waned a bit." One California Democrat who contributed six-figures to her presidential bid said a Harris candidacy would only serve as a reminder of how "traumatizing" the last election was. "Kamala just reminds you we are in this complete shit storm. With Biden, we got bamboozled ... I think she did the best she could in that situation, but obviously she knew about the cognitive decline too," the donor said. "I've written so many checks because I knew the Trump administration would be horrible, but we're living in a nightmare because of the Democrats. I'm furious at them, truly." Close Harris allies acknowledge the sting of Harris' failed White House bid has not fully dissipated among the donor class...
While still considering all her options, including running for president again, Harris' focus has been skewed toward a 2026 gubernatorial bid, since that is the most immediate decision to be made, according to a person close to her. The former vice president, who can be painstakingly deliberative, has been steadily collecting input and opinions from her allies to weigh the pros and cons of seeking her home state's top gig.
... Donors "realize it's just going to bring up the whole pathetic last presidential, which no one wants to hear about again. And then it's the whole 'Did you know Joe Biden?' thing," said one Southern California fundraiser who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations. "She still would probably lead, but honestly, no one is incredibly pumped." Harris has yet to weigh in on the topic which has roiled her party, even as Antonio Villaraigosa, a fellow Democrat who is running for governor, has accused her of being complicit in a cover-up. Even some of her supporters are antsy for her to address the issue head-on, believing she'll have to swiftly dispense with that question before she can make a positive case for her candidacy. Others in the finance world say that so long as Harris plays coy about her plans, she's giving little for would-be supporters to rally around. "It's very fair to say there's not an overwhelming clamor" for her candidacy, said Scott Drexel, a Bay Area-based donor adviser who works with individuals, labor groups and businesses. "It's very hard for there to be one if it's not 100 percent clear if she really wants to do it."So she is weighing three possibilities: Running for governor, which she plainly does not want to do, running for president which maybe she wants to do but it's silly, or her real preference, starting a Clinton-like "foundation" to grift money and get paid a high salary and granted expensive billionaire-class perks (like a 24-hour a day chauffeur) while pretending to administer what is claimed to be a "charity." She won't get that, either. Hillary Clinton was able to get her grift funded because donors were paying for her to be a candidate-in-waiting. The Clinton Foundation was a grift to make sure all of Hillary's top people had jobs so they'd stay with her rather than defecting to other Democrats. Kamala Harris is not going to be supported by donors to be a candidate-in-waiting. Polling shows that Kamala Harris is in second place in the race to be the Democrat presidential nominee. First place goes to... Pete Bootyjudge.
Not only has Kamala Kollapsed in the latest poll of 2028 Democrat contenders, no one's excited about her potential run for California governor. And now we come to the poll... A poll that must have Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio going full bro with the high fives... Failed former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg: 16 percent Failed 2024 presidential contender Kamala Harris: 13 percent Failed Gov. Gavin Newsom: 12 percent Too Jewish-for-Antisemitic-Democrat-Party Gov. Josh Shapiro: 7 percentSanders also gets 5%.
Alexandria Ocasio-Crazy: 7 percent
That leaves 35 percent undecided.So is Buttigieg the front-runner? The political "top," if you will? Well, check out his big hole that needs filling:
Emerson polled a bunch of Dem prospects for the '28 WH nomination. Results are muddled but notable that Buttigieg, as in '20, still hitting a wall with black voters in this: pic.twitter.com/ShCOSRCOuS

She's gonna run for president, coast on her name recognition, and become the establishment's defacto anti-AOC choice because Kamala is just too popular with black women, who will make up a huge block of the Democrat primary electorate.

I think she'll bow out of the governor's race without entering it when she doesn't get donor support. The CA machine has its pecking order, and she left that order when she became VP.
However, the idea that she won't run for president seems...weird. Of course she's going to run. She's next in line.

Some moron also posited that these grifting "charities" were scaffolded by big donors but actually got the vast bulk of their money from taxpayer-funded NGOs. I hope that's true, because it means Kamala's ambition to sit on a pile of cash is slightly less feasible than in days of yore.

No reason why she can’t govern CA for one term to show what kind of leadership she has to those who doubted her and then run for Pres later on. She’d be 64 at that point.
Given how heinous this administration has been so far, she would make a killing from regret votes in a gov race. She should definitely do it. Though i would be lying if I said I wouldn't prefer more progressive leadership like Katie Porter.
if Harris wanted the governor seat her team SERIOUSLY fumbled by advising her to be so low key for so long. She's going to have to come out of the gate swinging and STAY swinging. Especially as Cali is fastly becoming an epicenter of resistance against the current regime.
Katie Porter is going to run and she’s one of my favorite people because she is really a populist when it comes economic and I love her so this is going to be an interesting race between the powerful and the grassroots

She may declare, but even that has a minuscule probability. Without a base of support, which she emphatically does not have, she loses even more if she exposes that lack of support.
It's weird to think that the DNC is going to to forget about her crash and burn in the last primary, her presence as a continual reminder of Biden, and her landslide loss to Trump and decide to support her at all.
Reality is the Dem candidate is likely to come out of left field (heh) and is not on any list we've seen.

Her losing SC in the general literally doesn't mean anything regarding her potential performance in the Democrat primary in South Carolina, which the DNC moved up in the calendar to be first in the nation.
The electorate of Democrats in South Carolina is predominantly black and predominantly female. She'll win the first primary contest easily. And SC's elections are actually quite clean.
This ain't the fake bullshit that is Iowa's caucuses (which Buttigieg won in 2020).

Its just a different kind of bullshit to say that the tiny fraction of SC voters should mean anything to electing their presidential candidate.
Posted by: Oldcat at June 30, 2025 03:41 PM (8avO+)
I think the one thing that everyone should have learned, from watching the last several election cycles, is that the Democrat Party selects their Presidential candidate, completely independently of what their voters want or vote for.

It'll be like that fraud Camille Paglia. The AWFLs will spend the whole campaign slagging Governor Brylcreem for being a sleazy, incompetent ass. Then on election day they'll throw their vote away by casting their ballot for some no-name Green... because eww, Republicans have cooties.

1. Polls on potential Democrat candidates mean, absolutely, nothing. The Dem primary voters decide NOTHING. Time and time again, the Democrat apparatus chooses the candidate, then tailors everything to get that result. (They even handed Obama that candidacy even though it's likely that Hillary was beating him...some of us recall her actually holding the Dem party hostage for a few days in response).
2. Whoever is picked will have to appeal to Jim Clyburn (SC)...whose cheating apparatus extends into all the Swing states. The biggest problem with 2024 was that Clyburn fully supported Biden. He wasn't a fan of Harris. And, instead of the 3am cheat dump, Clyburn let it pass. His name was even on the potential Pardon list as a result of his past performances.

Are they all saying that California is on the verge of turning Nazi?
They're not saying that there are things she showed in the campaign that don't make the "candidate that should have been president" a less than stellar candidate for the Governorship of California, are they?
Sunny Hostin doesn't have to ask her any more stumpers--she's probably learned her lesson and does not want to jeopardize the Democratic party anymore. Harris doesn't have a Joe Biden to follow, and she's free to disagree with what Newsom has done with the state, isn't she?

his suit is laughable, just for the publicity.
this is his claim, shortened up:
Trump called Gavin about the riots on a Friday, they talked for 16 minutes. On Monday a reporter asked Trump, did you talk to Gavin? Trump said "Yeah we talked about a day ago, I told him I was ready to help."
Then they asked Gavin and he said "He never called! We never spoke! Trump is senile and losing his mind!" Then phone records showed Gavin was lying, and Fox reported that Gavin had lied about the call.
Gavin's lawsuit (seriously): "I wasn't lying because Trump said we talked a day ago, and it was actually 3 days ago! Fox defamed me! When I said we never talked, he never called, I only meant the last 24 hours, really! I didn't mean Friday too!"

If you make it to Utah, their "Mighty 5" national parks (Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion) are stunning. There are also some great state/tribal parks: Dead Horse Point (with the famous overlook of the horseshoe bend of the CO river), Coral Reef (pink sand!), the hoodoos at Goblin Valley (Where Galaxy Quest was filmed), and Monument Valley (westerns!).
You'll also see why it's ridiculous that they refuse to open up even 2% of Utah's national parkland for development, because there is sooooo much of it. So, so much. Plan for hours of beautiful gorgeous nothingness between the parks.

When she and Bernie, together, start promising all of the Free, they'll get around 10 - 15% of the vote.
Free healthcare, free housing, free college, free food.
They're going to promise to free everything they can think of from the profit motive. They're going to take the Madmani playbook and nationalize it.
And a lot of dumbasses will hear "Free" and vote for them.
I'm not saying they'll win anything, but they'll put a big dent in the Dems score.

That is misleading, IMO. I still believe that the "billionaire donors" were merely associated with the donations for legitimacy. Any significant amounts that were donated to PAC's were likely the tail end of federal monies run through "the process."
Established foundation takes in a large grant or appropriation. They serve as a money depot who then distributes to the first round of recipients, who take a cut and pass it on to round two of recipients. Some of these moneys may even return to their original amounts in one of the latter rounds of recipients. Significant sums are sent to foundation established by these billionaires, who pass on a bulk sum to the PAC.
It's not their money. The process was greatly hindered by DOGE, so these Dem billionaires are more reluctant to donate (since it would have to be their own money this time).

I developed a theory late 2024 that party registration changes within a state were more accurate at predicting general election outcomes than polling.
PA has gone from a D advantage of 1 million in 2016 to about 170K today.
It's the season of mostly just losing registrations as they fall off due to inactivity, but D's have lost 182K this year alone. R's have lost 76K in comparison.

Whatever reason people liked Nixon in '68 they showed they really meant it in '72 when Nixon crushed McGovern.
If he'd dropped his people involved in Watergate like Reagan did the people involved with Iran-Contra, Nixon could've survived it. But he dug his heels in and fought the press and Dems like he'd been doing since he lost to Kennedy.
It turned out to be his undoing when the Watergate tapes came out and even the GOP dropped him like a hot potato.

Only 4 building permits were approved in March. FOUR.
Today is the last day for residents to get their lots cleared, unless you got a permit earlier in the month. If you didn't the city will clear it for you and slap a lien on your property.
But the city declared the ash left over from the rubble a hazard. Supposedly the city's red tape is not letting them even clear their own land, at least not easily. There has to be environmental inspections and special companies to clear it out for you, and they are swamped with work and it's slow.

The large donors and the NGOs are both major factors.
I think that it will be harder to break the NGOs than the donors. Party donations from wholly Party organizations will be more forthcoming than from private organizations just looking to purchase influence as an overhead expense.
A lot of NGO money laundering got rolled up this year, but not even close to all of it. It will continue apace, for the most part.
But private donors want to buy stability. If they can't have it for love or money, they'll just shut the taps to everyone.

#Winning: Inflation Rises More Slowly, Gas Prices Fall, and the Markets Hit All-Time Records
A European Economist Admits: "Maybe Trump Has Outsmarted All of Us"
The markets soared to record highs on Friday, despite the "predictions" (or partisan rooting interest) of the liberal establishment.
Part of the rally is due to falling, get this, inflation.U.S. markets surged to fresh record highs Friday as investors responded positively to a trio of developments: easing inflation, the formal end of the Iran-Israel war, and progress on President Trump's tax legislation in Congress. Key Details: The S&P 500 closed at a record 6,173.07, with the Dow and Nasdaq also finishing at all-time highs, fueled by strength in tech, energy, and industrial sectors.Gas prices will fall to their lowest level in years for summer driving season.
New inflation data showed core PCE rose just 0.2% in May, with annual core inflation at 2.7%--supporting Trump's argument that tariffs haven't reignited price pressures.
A U.S.-brokered peace deal officially ended hostilities between Israel and Iran, removing a key global risk and driving oil prices sharply lower. Diving Deeper: Wall Street ended the week on a high note Friday, with all three major indexes closing at record levels amid a cascade of favorable developments for the Trump White House and the broader U.S. economy. The S&P 500 rose 0.52% to 6,173.07, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite followed suit, hitting new peaks. The gains came despite a midday dip sparked by President Trump's announcement that trade negotiations with Canada had been terminated. Markets quickly shrugged off the news, rallying strongly into the close. Fueling the optimism was the release of new inflation data showing that prices are rising more slowly than anticipated, even after the administration's aggressive use of tariffs. The core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index--a key inflation gauge favored by the Federal Reserve--ticked up just 0.2% in May. On an annual basis, core prices rose 2.7%, while the headline rate stood at 2.3%. Notably, consumer inflation expectations also dropped, with one prominent sentiment survey showing the expected one-year rate falling from 6.6% to 5%. ... As the week closed, the prevailing mood on Wall Street was one of optimism. With inflation cooling, global tensions easing, and economic policy advancing, traders are increasingly betting on a supportive environment for markets heading into the second half of the year.
According to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, gas prices are likely on track to reach their lowest levels in several years. If current trends continue, Americans could see the national average dip below $3 per gallon by September. "This is shaping up to be the cheapest summer since 2021," De Haan said, referencing the COVID-era market conditions that temporarily deflated demand and prices. Although gas prices ticked up in early June due to the Israel-Iran conflict, the ceasefire between the two nations has helped stabilize global oil markets. That stabilization, De Haan says, should allow for a "slow decline" in prices through the remainder of the summer.
A European economist now reverses his prior dire predictions about Trump's tariff agenda and admits Trump has "outsmarted all of us."
I love when Europeans tell us that tariffs will cause the US inflation and harm our economy while all the European nations have stiff tariffs to keep out US goods because they believe the tariffs help their economies.
A world-renowned economist has changed his tune on President Donald Trump's tariffs. Torsten Sløk, a chief economist at Apollo Global Management, posted a new note admitting that his initial reaction to the policy may have been wrong. 'Maybe the administration has outsmarted all of us,' he wrote. The admission comes just months after Sløk warned the tariffs would be 'painful' and economically destabilizing. Experts speaking to DailyMail.com warned that Americans should take his note with a grain of salt. But now, he's framing the President's policy as a clever long-game -- one that invites global negotiation while increasing federal revenue. In the note, Sløk outlined a potential scenario: the White House could maintain its current tariff rates -- 10 percent on most imports, 30 percent on Chinese goods -- and give trade partners a year to negotiate with the White House. Extending the current 90-day pause on new tariffs, he argued, would give American companies time to plan ahead and could help stabilize markets. 'This would seem like a victory for the world and yet would produce $400 billion of annual revenue for US taxpayers,' he added. The timing is key. Trump's 90-day pause on new tariffs, announced in April, is set to expire on July 9. Without an extension, the tariffs would immediately increase, with billions of dollars worth of products suddenly incurring more taxes. But if the President extends the pause but keeps tariffs where they are, Sløk says the policy could offer clarity for companies and leverage in negotiations. Sløk's sudden, tepid support for the tariffs is an about-face. He initially criticized the import taxes, saying they threatened business stability, Wall Street's record highs, and the stability of US treasury bonds.
This is how the NYT reports the S&P 500 hitting a record high.

I can see why people expected them to be, based on economics in a vacuum and a lack of understanding tariffs or what Trump was doing.
It sounds reasonable: you are raising the expenses on business, and they will just pass that on to the customers, raising prices. Its like when governments raise taxes on business.
The problem is, that's not how the tariffs were implemented, tariffs are not on most goods that Americans purchase regularly, and they were being used mostly as a negotiation tool, not a permanent imposition. Yes, our tariffs on most other countries have gone up, but they also have gone down on us in other countries.

If somebody had told me that the Trump administration could strangle Joey Bye-Bye's inflation extravaganza stone dead in 6 months, without the stern measures the Reaganites used (and they were HARSH), I'd have cautioned against extravagant optimism, and I'm a yuge Dreamsicle Mussolini fan.
But here we are.
No wonder the establishment economists are sitting around flapping their mouths with their fingers and going 'wubbita-wubbita-wubbita'. It's all just beyond their ken.

Well they kind of do, in the "but we covered that" technicality. They'll run one segment on it, vaguely, then move on as if nothing happened. Kind of like all those BUT EGGS ARE STILL EXPENSIVE guys two weeks into Trump's presidency.
Its not about the truth for them, its about power. It doesn't matter if what they say is true or not, only that they can gain power back by saying it. Like Schumer's "it worked didn't it?" crack.
If you think truth is relative and there is no right and wrong, lying is just a way of achieving goals.

Except that never happened, since interest rates are barely off of historic lows.
Which people at point realized was a problem since they couldn't go lower (that is to say, negative), without some fairly obvious repercussions.
In the long term, rates should be at least double where they are now, but people want to pretend they're high only because they're looking at interest on the irresponsible levels of debt that have accumulated.

Powell has definitely gotten out of his lane and claiming he's only talking about "inflation" to hide his criticism of the tariffs says a lot about him and who he's really working for; the big banks and global financial market.
The WEF Crowd doesn't like tariffs, so they'll keep the rates up and get their money in interest payments on the national debt.
Powell can't leave soon enough.
If we had any concept of honor left in this country, among our politicians and bureaucrats, Powell would've resigned after lying about inflation for two years and then having to reverse course all the way to 4.5% Fed Funds Rate when the lies stopped working.
The FFR should be cut by a half or full basis point immediately and help Bessent out on the payments on those huge debt bombs Biden-Yellen left us.

Matthew McConuaghey's scene in Wolf of Wall Street
Mark Hanna: The name of the game, moving the money from the client's pocket to your pocket *** Number one rule of Wall Street. Nobody - and I don't care if you're Warren Buffet or if you're Jimmy Buffet - nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways or in circles. You know what a fugazi is?
Jordan Belfort: Fugayzi, it's a fake.
Mark Hanna: Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not fucking real.

I know its inevitable, we're all getting older. We joke about being 29 but some of us are quite elderly and every year pushes us all toward that. Its the worst part about getting old that I kind of knew about but never really understood: all my friends and family are dying around me.
God be with his family and with you all as his friends. This is a good reminder: turn your eyes upon Jesus while you still may, and spend time with the ones you live while you have the opportunity.

Posted by: 18-1 at June 30, 2025 02:45 PM (t0Rmr)
Today it is 4.25 - 4.5%.
That is costing the treasury hundred of billions in extra interest payments on the debt this year because Biden and Yellen financed a lot of short-term debt because they believed rates would be going down.
They didn't and now Bessent is left holding the bag.
This isn't just about consumer and commercial loan interest it's about trying to stop the bleeding of wasted money on debt repayment.
That's the main reason Trump wants Powell gone.

I guess the question is 'What is the goal of the plan?'. It is widely known that you can fake a better economy in the short term by lowering rates, but sooner or later reality will have it's way.
And you can't reduce forever because once you get to 0, there's no good reason for anyone to invest (including keeping their money in a bank), and the whole system collapses.
If the plan is to put us in the best possible position for the collapse (and the aftermath) by moving as much manufacturing here before it happens, that's something, but I don't think that's what most people supporting Trump think the plan is.

BLUF, it's more of a political decision than an economic one.
With rare exception, unemployment and inflation tend to have an inverse relationship. The idea is that with a somewhat blunt instrument like monetary policy, coupled with the imperfect information we can get on the state of things, it's judged better to minimize unemployment to structural levels and accept the consequent inflation.

That is, of course, the great irony.
The media institutions have been calling Trump and his voters Nazis for quite literally a decade now. He came down the escalator in 2015. 10 years. A decade.
Pure "You guys are Nazis. We're just trying to have a debate about trannies, and you're being all Nazi about it. Sweet Science, can we please just kill all the Nazis by punching them in the face until they die?"
And yet...here we are. Trump more popular than ever, the GOP more behind him than ever, and the DNC taking out loans to cover operating expenses.

The real beef they have with him is that he is a class traitor! He sides with us, the little guy. He likes to get to know the workmen on his building projects, he befriends the doorman at building an asks about his wife’s health. He’s not the kind of snob he could have been: he’s for us!

4.33% in May, 2025. And yeah, zero for Biden, and zero for Barky Obama. Just up a little for Trump 45.
But they'd been lowering rates since 1985 to stimulate and fund their Huge Debt. Doesn't mean Lower Rates are always the answer ... zero rates just pushes people into (often) riskier investment, and inflates stocks.
Inflated stock markets make people feel rich, but the behemoths we created took control ... from the left. Reducing spending (via stopping all the theft and fraud) is better, but not easier I guess. Always have to buy those votes.

It may be possible to convince Powell to leave his position early. Some problems with his testimony about the Fed's $2.5 billion administrative palace renovation.
-------
Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), a member of the committee, said Powell’s testimony was inaccurate and unprepared.
“He made a number of factually inaccurate statements to the Committee regarding the Fed’s plush private dining room and elevator, skylights, water features, and roof terrace,” Lummis said in a statement to the news publication.
“This is typical of the mismanagement and ‘don’t bother me’ attitude that Chair Powell has always shown.”

Canada Surrenders to Daddy Trump on Tax on Tech Services
Canada decided to join the EU in punishing US tech firms because they're mad that Elon Musk allows free speech.
I'm no fan of the social media companies but this is all about pressuring them to censor American citizens. Canada is now groveling like a totall-cucked nation.
President Donald Trump announced Friday he is ending trade talks with Canada over the northern neighbor's decision to impose a digital service tax on American technology companies. Trump called Canada's decision "a direct and blatant attack on our Country" in a Truth Social post. "They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately," Trump also wrote. Canada is reportedly going ahead with the tax despite its inclusion in the Group of Seven (G7) agreement in which President Trump agreed to remove Section 899, also known as the revenge tax proposal, from his "Big Beautiful" tax bill, according to Bloomberg. The tax will require digital services companies like Meta to pay 3 percent of the digital services revenue they make on Canadian users above 20 million Canadian dollars ($14.6 million) in a calendar year, according to Bloomberg. Canada's tax will apply retroactively to 2022 and the country's Finance Department says the first payments will be due from digital companies Monday, Bloomberg reported. Canadian Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne hinted that the tax may be a potential piece of leverage in trade negotiations. "Obviously all of that is something that we're considering as part of broader discussions that you may have," he told Bloomberg. Trump concluded his Truth Social post with indications that the U.S. will retaliate. "We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period," he wrote. Industry leaders applauded Trump's move. "This tax unfairly singles out American firms while local competitors skate by. Whether it's Brussels or Ottawa, President Trump is right to call them out and force this to change," John Czwartacki, co-founder and principal at Public Policy Solutions said in a statement provided to the Daily Caller.
Canada's government announced Sunday it will cancel a controversial tax on U.S. tech giants, prompting the resumption of trade negotiations with President Trump. The decision follows Trump's warning that Canada would face steep duties for what he called a "blatant attack" on American firms. Key Details: Prime Minister Mark Carney personally informed President Trump of the decision to withdraw the digital services tax during a Sunday conversation.
Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne also reengaged with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer the same day.
The tax, set to take effect Monday, was expected to cost American companies like Amazon, Google, and Apple over $2.7 billion due to its retroactive structure. Diving Deeper: Just two days after President Trump abruptly suspended bilateral trade talks over a digital tax targeting U.S. tech firms, Canada's government has backed down. First reported by the Wall Street Journal, Prime Minister Mark Carney's office announced that the controversial 3 percent digital services tax would be scrapped. The reversal marks a significant win for the Trump administration and clears the way for trade discussions to resume.

“A Martian arriving here from another planet would see these circumstances and surely wonder: ‘what good is the Constitution, then?’” Jackson wrote in her dissent.
Speculation is she might have initially used "An Alien", because that would make more sense with "from another planet". What planet do Martians come from? But alien is a forbidden word in wokeland.

Reminder:
Over the last 10 years, the annual average growth of Canada is 0.5%.
Not 5%. One half of one percent.
And that's with having the lowest transportation costs to the biggest market in the world.
Even Germany and Japan are over 5%.
And, in that time, Canada has imported over 500k new welfare immigrants.
The country is fucked.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is embracing spending amid rising Arctic tensions. 6/25/25
In part, "Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is committed to reaching NATO’s new defense spending target of 5 percent of GDP by 2035."
And, "Carney’s comments indicate Canada plans to leverage its critical mineral wealth as part of its military contribution to NATO. The U.S. also needs Canada’s rare earth minerals because they are required to power all 21st century digital technology, from high-tech weapons and surveillance equipment to everything powered by artificial intelligence."

Canada is like Europe. They can't innovate any more so they hobble the US, which can. Tax and regulate.

I started reading John Nolte's movie reviews at Dirty Harry's place back in 2004, around the same time I found this place. His movie reviews and analysis have been a part of my life for decades now. Breitbart has put ALL of that Nolte movie stuff behind a paywall, and I'm kind of furious at them. They are out of my regular news rotation as a result.

Canada's economic policies being subject to the "Truth" Social posts of that madman south of the border isn't a good look, no matter how pragmatic of a move some might be consider that to be.
This is starting to look more like an own goal on Carney's part. If they were not committed to implementing the DST, then why didn't they just pause it while negotiations were ongoing?
The fact Trump threw a tantrum over it and spent the weekend ranting about Dairy tells you he didnt get the reaction he actually wanted. If DST is his win, which American voters do it help? Weve made our concessions before softwood, steel, autos, or fertilizer are even raised. And the DST can always just be reinstated can't it?

There are some benefits to this law beyond that, it allows pledging it for security, and allows the purchase of items with it, without extra faffing around like you would get if you tried some contract to buy a house with 27 new cars.

In the countryside, do you hear

To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!

All that does is legitimize what Trump is doing. 70 million Americans woke up this morning going "see, we told you Trump was the bestest negotiator on earth!" This will grow his support. We need them to see the Fanta menace for the useless sac of shit that he is.

Americans don't give a shit about Canada on the whole.
We don't really understand what we rely on them for (mostly wood and oil), and any impact to prices will be diffuse and explainable for other reasons.
Canada, though, entirely needs us. Tough lesson to learn, but Canada is a subservient nation. It's almost a vassal state it relies on us so much.

Carvajal, a retired Venezuelan Army general who was the head of the Venezuelan security force, has plead guilty of trafficking cocaine to Mexican cartels, and is implicated in the Venezuelan support of socialist candidates in other countries such as Brazil
His open guilty plea which could net him 50 years in prison may be an attempt to bargain for leniency in return for help in charting the actions of the Bolivarian government of Venezuela, Tren de Aragua, and support of the FARC in Colombia, as well as other espionage actions carried out by the government of Venezuela

Another reason why I hope Trump takes down California during Newsom's governorship.

It is "shorted out to ground" to keep the pressure up on the grid. There is a need to make a complete circuit, and there needs to be enough extra generated to keep the system from browning out under load.
I am told that about 1/3 of electricity generated is lost this way, and that is one of the reason why Bitcoin miners look to suck up that power, since it is otherwise wasted - and it is nothing but profit for the generation companies

Trump wants a new census. Specifically he wants a count of American citizens. Not including illegals / migrants that have not obtained citizenship.
If it happens it would likely rearrange the number of seats some states, like California, would have in Congress.

Genuinely, he should order a new reapportionment based on the Census's corrected 2020 numbers.
Estimates put it at 6 seats moving from blue states to red states. That alone. Still counting illegals and everything.

it probably could be, but there has to be enough flexibility to cover fluctuations in the load. The BPA was talking about adding that sort of pumping to dams to cover later loads, but apparently it never penciled out.
The nice thing about bitcoin mining is that they can absorb the fluctuations just fine, and I am not sure that other types of industry could. I think the reason for the Alcoa plants on the Columbia are for that reason alone, the dams have a lot of extra power as they power the region.

Its the same kind of thing as Europe. They take for absolute granted things we know to be idiotic or question out of sheer concern over liberty. Greta Thunberg is on their minds all the time. They assume global warming like they do evolutionary theory or gravity. They are certain that guns are horrible and scary and anyone who has one is suspect at best. They are certain that Americans are either dying on the streets or going broke over health care.
They have no alternate press. They have no vigorous and healthy sense of suspicion of government and authority. Their most conservative people would be 90s Democrats here.

It's not useful information. It's not necessary information. Unless you have some specific reason to care, 100% of American citizens can live happy, productive, fulfilled lives not knowing a single one of Canada's provinces. And if for any reason it does become relevant, it's a very easily remedied situation.

I think its partly that, and partly the fact that the only way to justify calling Trump and his supporters Nazis is to just assume they are doing Nazi things. It goes kind of like this, to the extent they think it through at all:
1 Trump is opposed by the people I obey and support
2 Therefore Trump is a bad guy
3 Only evil horrible people would disagree with me
4 Therefore Trump is evil and horrible
5 The worst people in the world are Nazis
6 Therefore Trump is a Nazi
7 Nazis took people to death camps
8 ICE is the new Gestapo taking people to death camps
Not that they know what the Gestapo is, what the death camps were like, or what Nazis believed in, they just have enough of a vague impression and saw Schinlder's list once, decades ago.

Everyone around him -- from mentor Diddy diddling him, to Scooter and his parasitic record label, to his enabling mom, to his evil agent/manager -- screwed him his whole life and messed him up.
I think the Covid shot caused his paralysis and health woes, and he had to back out of his tour, triggering clauses causing him to get in massive debt. He sold his entire music catalogue recently to get the debt demons off his back, and they screwed him on the sale. So all those years of music, and nothing to show for it. It's like mirror universe Taylor Swift. And he still owes Scooter and the record label that screwed him MORE albums before he can end his contract, without triggering more clauses and fines. If he turns into a symbol like prince, I get it. The Diddy news probably is resurfacing the past abuse.
Luckily his wife just sold her makeup company for a billion dollars (how???), so they aren't in the poor house. And he clearly loves his kid and God. I just hope that he can sort all this current drama out without it ending in a tragic death. There's still a lot of life to live, if he can navigate it.

I know quite a bit about Belgium's geography because they have contrived to have 2 world wars and half a dozen more take place there.
Canada had us defending them once the Brits quit having forces there.

Have them fill out the names of the 50 states and the capitals. Give them a cookie if they get 25 of each.

It is literally in the Canadian constitution that all school children must memorize the 50 states and their capitals just in case any American ever tries to ask them that.

Well, despite me voting for him, the Alberta Republican did not win the by-election in my riding. Came a respectable third of four candidates. United Conservatives (the governing party) won more than double seats of the Dipper (NDP=commies), and he came within a few hundred seat of the commie.

Yukon (also newer)
and one remaining territorial section, called the Northern Territories
What does this get me, a Maple Syrup Membership?

Yukon isn't that new, I think it was a province when the Gold strikes in the late 1800s were going on, or shortly after.

I think Alberta is going out if she has to attack the US to get conquered and occupied. I like the premier.

Funny.
Seems the only history they teach is the burning of the White House.

Ha. Set up a little formal ceremony on the border where the premier steps on to US soil, fires a pistol into the ground, and then immediately "surrenders" with dignity and joy.
Like a ribbon cutting. But with bullets.

Admit it. You're really Sean Hannity.
Can’t stand the blowhard. He’s a real ham ‘n’ egger! By which I mean he’s a sellout! What, is he pushing gold and silver on his show now? I wouldn’t know: I never listen to him. Lots of talk radio hosts push gold and silver now: it’s hard to get sponsors, but gold and silver seems to be a perennial sponsor on radio talk shows. Sean wouldn’t be the first or the last.

Rome had a temple with a little bit of "enemy territory" in it. So to declare war someone threw a spear into it so they were warned fair and square.

Poilievre is going to be running in MY Federal riding as soon as the writ drops. I am going to try to meet up with him and give him a ration of shit. The recent election was his to lose, and lost it he did. He got nearly no seats in Quebec. OK, then write the fuckers off, and stop pandering to them. Kill the Quebec dairy quotas. It will gain you seats out west, and lose you nothing in Quebec you haven't already lost.
