Wingsuit vs. Jetsuit Cafe

Audrey Hepburn at a NYC automat cafe, 1951

Baby pig liberated from pet store -- to be honest, that sounds like they just conned the pet store to give them a pig for free -- is raised by her big brother dog.

In case you missed it: All Day Batman Dreams About Sex.

Hotel has two special greeters.

Deaf 100 pound dog plays nanny to rescue beagle's puppies.

Stray cat starts following woman and her dog on walks in hopes of being adopted.

Going on a hike with your pet bears.

Coyote would like to be adopted as if he were a dog. But that can't happen, so they catch him and pair him with a lonely female coyote already in captivity.

Come out to the coast, we'll lay a few slot car tracks, we'll have a few laughs...

From trash to treasure: sickly, mangy husky dumped in an actual dumpster is rescued and is the prettiest girl now.

Another dog rescued from the trash.

Butterbean the baby goat was born too weak to stand, but his rescue dog brothers teach him how to walk and jump.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
@NYCMayor
The attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan is horrifying. My thoughts are with the congregation and all who are shaken by this act of antisemitic violence. I am continuing to closely monitor the situation. Out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD will continue to deploy high-visibility patrols to Jewish religious and cultural institutions across the five boroughs.

Property of Allah hoodie guy shoots a bunch of people in Austin. ISIS-loving teens throw IEDs at anti-Islam protesters in NYC. An attack on a synagogue in Michigan. And an ISIS-supporting convict shoots up an ROTC classroom in Virginia. This is all within the month of March, btw.

BREAKING: I'm told by three law enforcement sources that the vehicle used in the attack at a Michigan synagogue today is registered to a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon who lives in Dearborn, MI.
I have a name, but am waiting for confirmation that name matches the badly burned corpse that was driving the vehicle.
Can only confirm the vehicle registration right now.

It's typically not the first one. But the cash we send Israel is the closest to being the first than any other, and else where we do precious little of the second these days, either. It's all dirty dirty money sluicing across the oceans and seeping its way back to the Anointed in the swamp.

The Camp David Accords between Israel, Egypt, and the US back in Carter era set forth a military aid formula. For the most part, that foreign aid is more like a buy American weapons with it than unrestricted foreign aid. So most of our 'aid' to Israel and Egypt comes back to the US weapons factories as orders.

Reason why Israel issued a lot of American small arms in the past and currently spends a lot of its money on US munitions and war tech.

Tik Tok and not being able to read. 'Visual' learners almost always end up having problems in the classroom if it requires substantial reading and writing. Require reading and writing in a class, it changes the course dynamics versus idiotic multiple choice testing.

Know this as a fact, not speculation, from teaching over twenty years at a university.

And lastly, covid and its stupid regulations on kids has literally made many of the youngest students lose years of education with its foolishness, overreliance on their phones and being online, years more.

As a result, even kids at premier Ivy League colleges cannot read a complete book nor tell you what they read in comprehensible fashion if they did somehow stagger through it.

Beard oil and everything. And now I'm worried these aholes are going to ruin beards for everyone.

Trump knows my WIFE’S name. My CHILDREN’S names. Asks about my son’s baseball games by name. Trump NOTICES when I’m tired after standing 8 hours and says ‘Sit down, you need rest.’ Trump orders EXTRA food during long days: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’ Trump attended my FATHER’S FUNERAL when he passed. No cameras. No press. Just came to honor the man who raised the agent protecting him. After experiencing THIS - how can I go back to being called ‘agent’ by future Presidents?

Amazon had an AI code slop moment yesterday/today where about 6 million orders were lost because someone misused code from AI. English banks had a similar issue where people logged in and saw other people's accounts in full yesterday.

I personally think AI is oversold for routine matters right now on coding and customer no service functions. It can be useful as an aid to people like a CSR mebbe to call up transactions etc. or to remember an odd coding function, but is not ready for prime time to be unsupervised.

Unfortunately, companies and CEOs wanting to justify their massive expenses on AI cut out the human part in order to claim savings where the true savings will come from keeping those people in place but being able to improve their performance with AI.

CNS hit is the Off Switch.
Unless you are swinging a two handed sword, ax, etc. kind of hard to do reliably. And even then the target has options.

Why someone above mentioned if your target stands real still you can punch a knife in the back of the neck and try to push it through the adam's apple from behind.

Rosanna Arquette Attacks Quentin Tarantino for Use of the N-Word as "Racist and Creepy," Tarantino Snipes Back That She's Irrelevant, Old, and Looking for Headlines to Advertise a New Movie She Directed

Variety
@Variety
Mar 9
Quentin Tarantino fires back at "Pulp Fiction" star Rosanna Arquette after she criticized his use of the N-word in movies as "racist and creepy."
"Dear Rosanna,
I hope the publicity you're getting from 132 different media outlets writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me and a film I remember quite clearly you were thrilled to be a part of?
Do you feel this way now?
Very possibly.
But after I gave you a job, and you took the money, to trash it for what I suspect is very cynical reasons, shows a decided lack of class, no less honor.
There is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues.
But it would appear the objective was accomplished.
Congratulations
Q"

I find Tarantino's constant use of the n-word annoying as I find many of his "I'm so cool" tics annoying.

But racist? No, not if you know anything about him.

He had no father. His mother dated a black guy. Without any other male role model, Tarantino copied this black guy's mannerisms and sayings.

Whenever you hear a Tarantino character say something that sounds "black", like "we got everything here from a diddle-eyed-joe to a damned-if-I-know," that is probably a direct lift from this black guy that Tarantino took as a surrogate father.

Why do Tarantino characters constantly reference blaxploitation movies? Why does Tarrantino have an encyclopedic knowledge of blaxploitation movies, and regards them as high art?

Because Tarantino used to watch those movies with this black guy.

So why does Tarantino say the n-word all the time? Because he heard his surrogate father figure always using it, and he thought it sounded so cool. And he's a lonely geek who has always sought ways to seem cool.

Does that get him a pass? Well, I don't even know if a "pass" is needed to use a word in an artistic medium, particularly when we hear every single black male celebrity saying it, but yeah, if a pass is even needed, I'd say that gets him a pass.

Should he have also cut out Hans Lanza saying "Jew" and "Jews are like rats" in Inglorius Basterds? Or is it singularly the n-word that is off limits?

The guy is annoying, no doubt. And his thing with feet is fetishistic.

But racist? He hero-worships a black guy his mom used to date and imitates him in what they tell me is the highest form of flattery. That's racist now, too?

Tell me -- what is not racist, now, exactly?

Rosanna Arquette, meanwhile, is trash. She has always been a famewhore and liar. You may have heard that Toto's song "Rosanna" was written for or about Rosanna Arquette. If you heard that, you heard that ultimately from Rosanne Arquette, who put that lie around the media to make her -- then an unknown actress -- seem important.

In fact, the guys from Toto say the song was written about a member's girlfriend, not Arquette. The song was called "Rochelle" or something -- whatever her name was -- but that didn't fit the meter. They met Rosanna Arquette, realized "Rosanna" fit the three-beat meter, and changed the song title to that.

That doesn't make the song "for" her or "about" her. She just had a name with three syllables they thought would make a better lyric than "Rochelle."

As they say, "that bitch road our coattails for twenty years."

Is this something?

Since the nineties, I've heard Steven Spielberg was trying to make some kind of movie about aliens. I think he was working on a project for years called "Watch the Skies" or "Dark Skies" or something.

Well, he finally made another alien movie.

I'll leave it up to you if this is something.

And here's something. I tried to watch The IT Crowd because I heard it was good, and because it was written by Graham Lineman, the Irish comedy writer cancelled because he (checks notes) opposes chopping off children's genitals or breasts.

It didn't click with me. It was too silly.

However, I watched an episode a few weeks ago that I really liked, and that got me into the show. Apparently other people think it's a top episode too.

So here's "Italian for Beginners." It starts off a little slow because he's doing all the set-up for the punchlines that come in the last ten minutes. It's worth being a little patient with.

As for the premise of the show: Jen is kind of a con artist who bluffs her way into a job at a company that produces... I have no idea. I don't know if they ever bother to say.

She creates a job called "Human Relations" which will help the IT department interface with the company's normal people. She has no technical skills and I don't know if she has any skills of any kind. She's not stupid, but nor is she weighted down by usefulness or talent.

That's all you really have to know.

And I have to warn you again: it's slow in the beginning, just set-ups and silliness without laughs. It all pays off at the end.

75 A thing I find funny is that if you look up anyone, including actresses and actors, like for instance Rosanna Arquette you will get all contemporary photos of her. You have to scroll a bajillion pages, a long time, or use specific date ranges in the search to not get pruney decrepit septuagenarian pictures. Never any period photos even for actresses known for their looks at a certain time.

I don't think it always did that. But it certainly does now. Why? Do the internets think we're stalkers and need current up-to-date photos for positive identification. I mostly don't even care what they look like now.

83 Tarantino has an affection for gritty grindhouse type movies. He used to work in a video store, and that contributed to his encyclopedic film knowledge. So in a way, he sort of makes the kind of movies he would enjoy watching himself.
Personally, I like most of his movies, with the exception of Django and Hateful Eight.
As far as Rosanna Arquette goes, she was happy to be in Pulp Fiction at the time, so her bitching about the N word now seems insincere. She did show her bubbies in a lot of her movies though, so I'll give her a pass.

99 IT Crowd is brilliant but funny in an absurd and exaggerated depiction of corporate world.

Some people like that, others don't.

Another funny series is Vicar of Dibley (even if a slight bit woke).

And Lineham was a writer on Father Ted which is even more absurdist comedy. Hit or miss as to whether you find that style of comedy funny or not. Like Monty Python, you will like the IT Crowd and Father Ted.

I quite enjoyed Hateful 8.

And the early parts of Deathproof are cinema. Really, one of the best performances from Kurt Russell since Soldier. It's the third act where Tarantino goes--wait, this is supposed to be a B-movie tribute--and it goes all B-movie in a hurry. (Which I guess is an artistic choice...)

American actors don't do well in acidic humor and sarcasm as a rule. You have to be a bit misanthropic to do it correctly. Same difference in the British "The Office" starring Ricky Gervais compared to the American "The Office" with Carrey. Carrey is a likable goof along with the rest of the cast. The British comedy with Gervais is playing it straight while being a right bastard so that the audience laughs at him rather than the situation. And his office has not so lovable misfits as the American version.

I prefer the British version myself.

188 Tarantino is like The Cramps - I love a lot of his movies, but I also love the call back to often overlooked fringe and low art stuff from the past. He is not just talented, but he appreciates the history. Not just in the themes and actors, but in the way he uses language. It feels like he recorded in his mind every little bit of interesting culture and pumped it into his movies.

The problem is, that font ran dry and I still like him, but not in the same way (for example the Diddle eye joe line the Ace mentioned was used in a couple of his movies.)

The Cramps were like that - at their concerts they played the most greatest and offbeat songs from the 50s that I had never heard of. I have a whole series of (I think Rhino?) albums - Songs the Cramps Taught us. Same with Tarantino - on his earlier movies I would watch, and then want to watch a dozen other movies that inspired it.

I met her the the summer of 1982, shortly after my bff and I moved to LA. A photographer (I think his last name Hagopian) liked my friend and somehow was connected to Toto and through them, knew Roseanna.

The three of us were literally walking on Ventura Blvd. and Roseanna was walking the other way. He introduced us and after we parted ways, he told us that was the "Roseanna" of the song. She was cute but sort of a hippy (and this was the preppy era). I was more impressed with her relationship to Uncle Charlie Weaver.

215 201 Hot take: Pulp Fiction isn't that great of a movie.

Had a lot of shocking and weird shit going on but having rewatched it recently I was just like "Oh this appealed to by dumb teenage/early 20's brain but now I don't see the point."

I dunno.

I suspect it works better if you are stoned watching it.

Personally, I can take or leave Taratino. But Arquette can shove it up her . . . . with her post hoc criticisms. Nasty piece of work.

When a fight between two black guys breaks out on the basketball court, the n-word seems to instantly come into use.

The other times I hear it is when listening to rap music around black guys.

If either of those scenes are in your movie, then you better be prepared to have the n-word in your script!

To an Italian, calling him an eggplant is mulignana (Naples Italian, I am not sure about Sicilian) is a slang word for "black." (Not the n word slang, but maybe the c word.)

Hopper should have known that but his response about cantaloupe sounds like he didn't. I mean, if he knew so much about the area, he should had known that.

The last 20 minutes or so is probably my favorite section of any Tarrantino film.

It's really the easiest Tarrantino film to watch, nothing too outrageous or crazy until the end when you're just waiting to see how it all ends up.

And I only recently figured out that (a really cute) Sidney Swinney plays the girl at the screendoor of the main house when Brad Pitt (Cliff) goes to Spahn Ranch.

Confirmed: New "Supreme Leader" Is In Coma, Lost Leg In Airstrike

supreme leader more like supine leader amirite

"Insider (World News)" claims the rumor is now confirmed.

Insider (World News)
@InsiderWN
#BREAKING: Iranian supreme leader confirmed in a coma, and had his leg amputated.

Now if the word of "Insider (World News)" isn't good enough for you -- and I don't know why it wouldn't be -- @JeremyUnplugged has the smoking gun photographic proof.

I love this meme like Cavernous Nostrils loves white boys who can advance her career.

By the way, I said abashedly...

Earlier in the week I saw mullahs tote a framed painting of Mogtaba. Then later I saw them tote in the cardboard cut-out. My stupid brain reached the conclusion that these must have been two separate events, in two separate sites honoring the Comatose Cleric.

I even insisted to toby, I think, that the cardboard cut-out was very real.

Well... here's the thing, guys: i don't know if you picked up on this, but I'm not very smart.

Multiple federal sources confirm to @FoxNews
that the suspected ODU shooter is Mohamed Jalloh, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Sierra Leone who was convicted in 2017 of providing support to ISIS. He was released in December 2024. Here's what DOJ said after his arrest in 2016:
"Jalloh praised the gunman who killed five U.S. military members in a terrorist attack in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in July 2015, and stated that he had been thinking about conducting an attack similar to the November 2009 attack at Ft. Hood, Texas."

Let's see. I know we don't like doing math here. However, 2017 plus 11 years equals 2028, if my second grade math skills are reliable.

Little bro, age 2yrs, asked him what happened. He said, "Well, buddy, I lost it." Bro returns about a half hour later and said,"Daddy, it is really lost because I looked everywhere." We laughed.

My best friend's step-father lost an arm to a piece of machinery on his farm.
We found him crawling up the road to the house, with a tourniquet on. Got him to the hospital and he survived.

Every year, for Christmas, my family would bake him a batch of one armed Gingerbread Men.

Occasionally, he'd call my dad and tell him he was stuck in the middle of the lake in his rowboat and he needed us to come over and get him.

US Military trained, prison hardened, jihadi with 2 years on the outside to plan, and he only shoots 3 people before ending up dead?

Responding cops still took almost 10 minutes and found him dead. No way only 3 get shot in 9 minutes without someone(s) on site being an absolute hero.

Six weeks after that accident he took us deep sea fishing off the FL coast. Because he had already chartered the boat and was determined to not let anything stop him. Nothing did. He invented stuff to make up for the missing arm. The only danger we faced was if he drove with his knees to wave at people.

I never shed a tear about this in front of him as it would have destroyed him. I was days after turning 16yrs old and always his only girl.

One, Jalloh was Guard, not Regular Army and the Guard does not generally spend a whole lotta time on marksmanship, especially if the unit is not infantry. Second, most people in prison are criminals, not jihadis. Criminals are cowardly sneaks that don't mind hurting others but don't like being hurt themselves. Surveys show their greatest fear is running into an armed civilian even over police, and three, my guess is his cunning plan was to go somewhere that he thought was gun free and unload his weapon. Shades of Baldrick there.

176 Regarding conversion to eeslam.

Over 20yrs ago my parents would go with their minister to a local prison. To deliver stuff. The minister may have talked to prisoners but my parents did not.

They were told then that the main people coming to talk to prisoners were Muslim. Christian churches were much more rare.

Guess this could be a reason to convert for American thugs, eh?

Posted by: garrett

I've read too many after action reports that you cannot rely on police to save you with a spree killer. They are minutes away and you have seconds to act. But, spree killers that were immediately challenged killed and hurt far fewer people than the hunker down and cover.

Plus courage is contagious. One student wrestler, in Oregon, stopped a school shooter by charging him and following what his dad told him about semi auto pistols. They are easy to jam by grabbing the slide, you might get shot once but the gun will jam without a second shot. The hero got shot but lived and saved quite a few lives as he then after being shot prevented the cowardly spree killer from rearming.

Well all the soldiers were unarmed. I think I recall a cop shot Hasan at the clinic or hosptial he attacked, and it was a crippling shot that probably stopped the threat. So I suppose the PoPo training kicked in, the threat was neutralized so stop firing at him.

Of course with Barky in charge Hasan was not going to get a quick conviction and death sentence. I suppose he was sentenced to life, my super quick web search didn't show that, just that he's supposedly a case study for lone wolf attacks. Should have been hanged and then sewn in pigskin and buried in pigshit as a lesson to other would be traitor jihadis in the military but it was the time of electing B freaking HUSEIN O less than 10 years after 9/11.

I've believed the same thing for a long time. Democrats have closed primaries. Republican states tend to have open primaries. Republicans are always oddly willing to allow Democrats to manipulate the vote.

If you're a Democrat living in Dallas, you have no worries about voting for John Cornyn. You know without doubt that he is going to sell out the conservative cause every single time. He probably communicates Republican strategies with his Democrat masters. I would assume the same of Thune, McConnell, Murkowsky, Collins, Lankford, etc. They are inside our tent, working for our enemies.

255 from Bill Melugin:

BREAKING: I’m told by three law enforcement sources that the vehicle used in the attack at a Michigan synagogue today is registered to a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon who lives in Dearborn, MI.

I have a name, but am waiting for confirmation that name matches the badly burned corpse that was driving the vehicle.

Can only confirm the vehicle registration right now.

256 And there it is, the shooter was stabbed by a ROTC student:

A heroic ROTC student fatally stabbed the crazed gunman who opened fire inside an Old Dominion University classroom Thursday, preventing further carnage, law enforcement sources said.

Shooter Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, gunned down an instructor before the unidentified cadet jumped into action during the frantic scene on the Virginia college campus, according to sources.

Jalloh, who was previously convicted of trying to support ISIS, walked into the classroom and asked if it was an ROTC class, sources told The Post.

Problem with that is he had no serious primary challenger back in 2014. matt bevin ran against him but was losing by nearly 40 points in almost every poll. mcconnel went on to win the primary by 25+ points. All of the good republican candidates (andy barr, a favorite) refused to enter the primary against him.

Posted by: Smell the Glove

They don't.
Elijah Muhammad's own son Warith Deen Mohammad renounced the NoI's nuttery and converted himself and his org to Sunni Islam, renaming the NoI to "World Community of Islam". That's why Louis Farrakhan broke with the group and refounded the NoI in 1977 as the funny farm it remains today.
Wiki says that Warith's group is now "The Mosque Cares". It's got its own problems, because Warith was a polygamist (shari'a-compliant!!) so a number of half-brothers now could claim it.

After action reports derived. Spree killers rack up kills if not confronted (even unsuccessfully). The old training standard was designed for hostage situations but not killers that did not care to live or actively wanted suicide by cop.

Same as how 9/11 happened. People had it ingrained that the plane hijackers were interested in whatever else other than killing all of the passengers and crew and that playing it cool will let the hostages live another day.

Spree killers just want to hurt and kill people, there is no demand that one can satisfy from killers except by letting them kill you. Which is an unsatisfactory situation.

For too many of GOP politicians, they were educated by left of center teachers up to and including college, they despise their unwoke constituents somehow thinking that their credentials make them better than their voters, and too often their pursuit of generational wealth for them and theirs outweigh honest representation to their voters. Our ruling class is leftist and even those that have tendencies on the right often fall prey to wanting money, power, and acceptance from donors, not voters.

TERRORIST SHOOTS UP OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY
UPDATE: Confirmed, the Terrorist Is an ISIS Member Released from Prison by... Joe Biden

Have you had enough Muslim Cultural Enrichment yet?

Sorry, I completely missed this. Sometimes my Twitter feed just fills up with stuff that I have previously shown an interest in, and does not alert me to new news.

RedWave Press
@RedWavePress

BREAKING: A gunman is dead after opening fire in Constant Hall on the Old Dominion University campus Thursday morning in Norfolk, Virginia.
Two people were injured and taken to a local hospital.
WAVY10: "ODU sophomore Logan Hayes was in Constant Hall taking a test when the active shooter situation started. He said the fire alarm went off and he ran out of the building."
"As soon as he got outside, Logan told WAVY, 'I heard about a multitude of gunshots go off and people just screaming.'"

@karol
News: I'm reliably informed that the alleged attacker of Old Dominion in is Mohamed Jalloh, the same Jalloh who was previously convicted of providing support to ISIL.

Tweet here, with a link to the old DOJ report on Jalloh.

Look, I'm done being polite. Supposedly most Muslims are "mostly peaceful." Fine. But the "mostly peaceful Muslims" do not bring nearly enough to the table to make up for the murders and mayhem committed by the less-than-mostly peaceful ones.

I will not live in a society where I can be murdered at any moment by a seventh century cult fanatic just to prove how #Woke I am and how tolerant I can be of my own oppressors.

If anyone wants to disprove this, please run the numbers on the incredible economic and cultural benefits we receive from Muslim invaders that outweigh the fact that we have had to entirely reconfigure our lives in order to accommodate them and mitigate their propensity to mass murder.

Update to previous Muslim terrorism story:

@BrandonStraka
Crews reportedly discovered a "LARGE amount of EXPLOSIVES" inside the vehicle that crashed into a Michigan synagogue.
Police say the suspect is d*ad and teams are working to safely clear the car. It could have been far worse.

thanks to weft-cut loop.

UPDATE: I don't know what the circumstances of Mohammed Jalloh's release were. But he was released during Biden's term.

He was a naturalized citizen. He should have been denaturalized and deported, but wasn't.

There are a lot of people who learned otherwise, first hand. We haven’t been fighting a war against “terror” since 9-11. That’s a whitewash campaign in which I refuse to participate. We have been fighting a war against islam. Period. The fundamental tenets of that cult implore their “faithful” to convert adherents by any means possible, and murder or subjugate those who don’t. Most of the muslim world was converted by force and through centuries of coercion have remained members of the cult. The modus operandi is always the same because it originates from the same place.

Some people are simply “peaceful” by their nature no matter what religion they follow. That isn’t a reflection of their “religion” it’s a result of their temperament. Islam is in direct contradiction of our Constitution, Bill of Rights and ultimately our laws because it is not based on freedom or liberty. It is driven by forces antithetical to them.

41 Just like the words racist, homophobe, Hitler, fascist, etc. have lost their true meaning because of overuse against anyone that doesn't live on the Dem plantation, Islamophobe must follow. Call me it and I will agree with you 100%. The peaceful Muslims don't dare speak up against the "spicier" ones or else they will suffer even greater harm along with their children - and remember it all goes through the local mosque.

I'm afraid that greater parts of Europe are lost because of this and we can't let it happen here. All of the 9/11 memorials that say "Never Forget" in NYC is bullshit. Look at their Mayor and his equally disgusting wife.

44 Regarding the "peaceful moose limbs."

I am sure there are some. Maybe. To your face if you work or talk with them.

I saw a verbal fight by MD's the day after 9/11, with one MD from Israel & the other from Paki.

There is no reform with islam. None. Taqiyya is taught to cover themselves with. Reform is needed but will never occur. Why? Because anyone who would attempt to reform the religion would be killed, probably with family and friends.

I promise you this: if you are between them and freedom they will kill you because the Koran loves killing of infidels. You are infidel, as you know.

If they want to keep their peaceful religion they should return to where they came from.

This country was built by Christians and Jews, not moose limbs, Somolians, or any of the terrorists who attack to kill and martyr. Yes, there is freedom of religion...but also the assumption of assimilation of the USA, values & freedom.

No sympathy since 9/11. None to be found. My husband's cousin was killed in the first WTC tower that collapsed that day. At least 4 cousins were missing for days due to poor communication.

Because in his huge family of 50 cousins many are generational NYPD or NYFD.

Agreed Ace. I've known many peaceful Muslims myself but the question I ask myself is this. As I'm kneeling in Church praying, IF the news every other day was about gangs of Christians shooting up or blowing up people in the name of Christ I would start asking myself some serious questions about my faith and what was being done in its name. And I don't see these "peaceful" Muslims doing the same as they do their prayer 5 times a day. And if they don't reflect on this being done in their religion's name then the term "peaceful" loses its meaning. In my mind.

Given that the people shot were ROTC cadets, it isn't a huge leap to theorize they were targeting government/military rather than just random students.

I’m so fucking tired of all the pro gun people arguing about gun freedom. None of them are ever around to save the day when someone else or someone else’s kid decides to shoot up a school. They’re just being selfish at this point.

In part, "Nineteen people have been jailed over an attack at a concert hall near Moscow that killed 149 people and left more than 500 injured - the deadliest mass shooting in Russia in two decades.

A Russian military court handed life sentences to four gunmen and 11 accomplices. Four other defendants were given between 19 and 22 years, state media reported.

The attack at Crocus City Concert Hall on the outskirts of Russia's capital on 22 March 2024 began with gunmen shooting before setting fire to the venue.

An Islamic State (IS) group affiliate admitted it had carried out the attack and posted video evidence. Moscow has repeatedly accused Ukraine of involvement - an allegation strenuously denied by Kyiv."

I am fairly certain there are plenty of "practicing muslims" who only are such because they are scared shitless of being murdered if they become apostates. Deport the True believers and radicals, and that greatly reduces the risk to those who want to leave the cult. There is a sort of a critical mass dynamic at work here.

120 That is the equivalent of a state appellate court for the District of Columbia, not the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. Right now, thanks to Obama, the 4th Circuit has approved some egregious limits on the Right to Bear Arms coming from Maryland and Scotus has avoided bitchslapping them.

That's why I said it may not be an option much longer. I think there will be enough discrepancies between Federal Appeals court rulings that hopefully SCOTUS will have to step in, and it’s pretty clear this court would strike down magazine capacity limits.

Going to clear out something upstairs again because I have too many clothes in three closets. I am no Marie Condo, holding something in my hand to see if it sparks joy. I hold something for a split second and fling it towards a plastic garbage bag for charity. It is a violent spark of joy to have more room for new clothes.

Which I realize is not the point if I had a "capsule" wardrobe like the French. Piper or any 'ette would know this. I now hate the word "capsule" along with these: hue, extrude, and others I can't think of in roid brain. Just the way people say it regarding wardrobes vs a pill to swallow. Sometimes my husband will say hue to annoy me on purpose.

I've got a 1911a that is hanging on my wall. It was manufactured by Colt in 1918. My grandfather used it to shoot an *actual* Nazi (not the made-up-in-the-heads-of-fucking-lunatic-democrats-birm) in the chest from 10 feet away while he was fighting in Italy in 1944.

That firearm has 7 round "clips" - which isn't a real term. The real term is "magazine".

That was a *sidearm*. Because his other weapon was a Browning .50cal that was, of course, fully automatic with *boxes* of ammunition.

He was armed with a pistol and extra magazines. His wife began speaking about shooting people there. Two men from the congregation were there, armed. One, an off duty cop, the other a retired Seattle PD sergeant detained the two until local PD arrived, Their SUV had more weapons and ammo inside. No shots were fired, both people, not I add, Muslims, are sitting in jail on $1 million dollar bonds and attempted murder charges. What little is known is not coherent or lucid.

In the US, we have Freedom of Religion. Ergo, by defining themselves as Moslem, they are choosing their beliefs... they are not forced by US.

The choose to believe in a religion where they are ordered to kill infidels... to lie... to cheat... to invade... to enslave... to not give women equal rights...

Any source of fun, joy, or community (besides sticking your ass in the air 5 times a day) is forbidden. Absolute submission is the ultimate goal. Lefties just substitute the State for Allah.

......................................
Every night I pray for God to protect our country,military bases and our military. I pray off and on all day, of thankfulness, of beauty, of something on my mind. My last prayer is a doozy that lasts a long time.

I figure God pages my father to come listen and says, "Here she is again!" My husband has asked me to stop praying for the elimination of esslam and for conversions. I try. But then add to eradicate them if they mean to harm us. What he does not know doesn't hurt him.

With a car full of explosives he was beyond incompetent and met a shield of protection from our Lord.

Because Mohammed was a pirate before he "founded" his religion. A caravan raider and murderer. And you attack caravans at night when everyone's sleeping. Except the dogs, who give the alert. So when the satanic fucker was inventing his pedo religion, of course dogs would be haram.

204 Muslim fascination with aviation has turned what used to be a pleasant departure from the routine to a grueling gauntlet of stressful activity.

Remember when you could buy your red letter tickets at the counter, drop off your bags and not have to show an ID to board the plane, much less go straight to your gate. All in the time to walk there. In those days girlfriends would run into the arms of their beloved just getting off the flight, families would hold signs and sing "happy birthday", you packed your bags without worrying about how much toothpaste, metal or liquid you had in them. Air travel had little more trouble to take than a city bus or a subway.

You talkin' to me, Willis? I'm only on the lowest dose for a couple of days.

Here's the deal. In the mid '80's we had influenza and then I got mycoplasma and it damaged my lungs a bit said a pulmonologist I trusted. A I have huge lungs from swimming and remain unsure if that is a reason. I used to use inhalers if I got sick after this.

Three years ago with probable covid I had either a set of bad bagpipes or a hormonica in my upper bronchi when I tried to sleep. Inspiration and expiration. SUPER annoying. My first go with pred and wonky! I had to have it as the inhalers were not touching it...and the MD told me to never get to that point again.

An ARNP yesterday gave me a very low dose to take for a couple of days and then done. It is permanent damage from the '80's and I think I did really well to go 40yrs with never taking a roid til 3yrs ago. Now today, and can stop when I improve. Inflammation from the faucet of snot last weekend. Exposed to RSV by our 6mo old grandgirl, who was not as sick as her parents or me.

And, no, I don't like it as it makes me crazier.

It was insane. I could not rest. It had no melody or rhythm. Sometimes it made cat-like mating sounds.High pitched then low tubas.

When you are sick you want to lie down and sleep. I decided this was a unique symptom and went to urgent care the next day, no matter that I had no fever and oxygen sats were normal. Crackles on expiration are not as serious. Both, no good!

No, I don't want a moon-face and am thankful I don't have to take this daily.

Why wasn't he denaturalized when he was convicted and deported when his sentence was up????

I think we know why, and I'd love for Marco Rubio to find out whether anyone responsible is still in his department.

Rubio: Why was this guy not denaturalized? Your answer must begin with the word, "Because." If the answer is "Because we were negligent," then answer that way.

Terrorist Rams Car Through Synagogue Gate, Starts Shooting the Congregation

Must have been a straight white conservative male. That's my bet.

The shooter is now dead and they're still hiding his name which casts a slight amount of doubt on my guess that he's a straight white conservative male.

A gunman was shot and killed Thursday afternoon after ramming a truck into a West Bloomfield Synagogue, according to the Associated Press.
The incident happened at the Temple Israel, 5725 Walnut Lake Road, where smoke was seen billowing from the roof.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Temple security fired shots at at least one person after the crash.
There were no other injuries in the shooting.
Police are also looking into whether anyone else was involved in the incident and asked those within one mile of the synagogue to shelter in place.
All children who were removed from the school will be placed at the Jewish Community Center for reunification with their parents.
The Jewish Federation of Detroit ordered all Jewish organizations to go into lockout protocol.

The smoke is coming from a place very far inside the building. I wonder if the car made it that far, or if the smoke just carried a long way inside.

It's not clear from the reports if Temple security made the assailant into kosher Swiss cheese, or the police did it.

Maybe places like that should install bollards.

Sgt. Zim and his captain discussed this phenomenon in Starship Troopers. The captain gets onto Sgt. Zim because Sgt. Zim let a recruit nail him in a field exercise with a punch.

Captain warns Sgt. Zim that other recruits are likely to try to punch him as a result of Sgt. Zim's hesitation to nail the recruit. And he excoriates Zim for thinking that particular recruit was one of the 'safe' ones making his responses slower as a result.

Thus, killing a terrorist who is unable to do much of anything than cause a bit of damage is likely to discourage others from even trying. Successful hits, on the other hand, encourages every POS with a grudge to go out in a blaze of glory. That applies to school shootings, it applies to terrorism.

The POS's punches must not land and that means eternal vigilance on behalf of the guardians.

I witnessed such an event maybe 40 years ago. Old guy, 80-something, drove his car right into the brick wall of a shopping center. I heard the engine rev up, the car surged head, and the stop lamps never came on. Luckily, he started from a position only a couple of yards away from the wall, so little damage, aside from a tweaked bumper. He insisted he was stomping on the brake for all he was worth. Nope, it was the accelerator. Myself, and other bystanders checked out the car, Brakes were in good working order, as were the stop lamps, and throttle linkage was not jammed in any way. The car was a 1961 Studebaker Cruiser.

There is a bomb with a lit fuse waiting to go off and it relates to Chicom interference in US elections, demonstrated cheating in GA and AZ if not more elections, etc. Then you have the massive election interference cases involving the Russia Russia cases going forward in Florida. We shall see if that moves the US Senate and the American people.

And the grand juries are not in DC but in AZ, GA, FL. So we shall see fairly soon whether indictments start being issued like the subpoenas and warrants already issued to collect evidence.

177 Thus, killing a terrorist who is unable to do much of anything than cause a bit of damage is likely to discourage others from even trying. Successful hits, on the other hand, encourages every POS with a grudge to go out in a blaze of glory. That applies to school shootings, it applies to terrorism.

The POS's punches must not land and that means eternal vigilance on behalf of the guardians.

Dr Oz: Up to 25% of Obamacare Enrollment Might Be Pure Democrat/Foreign Piracy

What are the odds.

Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), claimed in an interview published Monday that millions of people could potentially be falsely enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans.
In January, early ACA enrollment figures indicated a drop following four consecutive years of record growth, going from 23.6 million enrollees to 22.8 million from the same time last year. Signs-ups were expected to fall after Republicans let enhanced premium tax subsidies expire at the end of 2025.
In an interview NBC News, Oz said some people on ACA plans should not be enrolled and expects the rate of enrollment will continue to fall to somewhere around 19 million.
"In fact, the fact that we have 23 million makes me think we have too many participants in the ACA," Oz told the outlet. "It's too high of a number."
Oz said he believes some signs-ups are the result of fraud or mistakes.

"Either their income would not qualify them, they made too much or made too little, or they didn't file the forms, maybe on purpose, or they were duplicately enrolled in Medicaid or more likely other states' ACAs," he added. "These are major concerns for us."
Experts who spoke with NBC News said that while fraud is certainly present in the ACA Marketplace, numbers given out by the administration are likely overstated.

Mehmet Oz is both a medical doctor and the adminstrator for Medicaid and Medicare but he's not an "expert." Only Democrat party flacks are "experts."

There are two kinds of people in the world, "experts" and Republicans.

5 I saw this asserted like a year ago, based on the idea that the number of enrollees who don't do anything but pay into the system is overinflated vs. other insurance programs.

Off the top of my head, it was like 15% in normal insurance markets and over 25% in the ACA.

30 Only 25% is fraudulent? I think the number is way higher than that. I'm convinced close to 50% of every single penny spent on heathcare in this country, including ACA enrollment, is fake, fraudulent, or stolen.

The answer given was "it's more fun to sink them", and he had to admit that was true. I can't imagine any Democrat or GOPe ever having that conversation or relaying it in a speech.

It's a bad sign for the SAVE Act, but Fetterman reports to Schumer, not Thune.

"National Health Care Fraud Takedown Results in 324 Defendants Charged in Connection with Over $14.6 Billion in Alleged Fraud"

Excerpt:

Transnational Criminal Organizations

29 defendants were charged for their roles in transnational criminal organizations alleged to have submitted over $12 billion in fraudulent claims to America’s health insurance programs.

For instance, a nationwide investigation known as Operation Gold Rush resulted in the largest loss amount ever charged in a health care fraud case brought by the Department. These charges were announced in the Eastern District of New York, the Northern District of Illinois, the Central District of California, the Middle District of Florida, and the District of New Jersey against 19 defendants. Twelve of these defendants have been arrested, including four defendants who were apprehended in Estonia as a result of international cooperation with Estonian law enforcement and seven defendants who were arrested at U.S. airports and the U.S. border with Mexico, cutting off their intended escape routes as they attempted to avoid capture."

I occasionally listen to a little sports talk radio when nothing else interesting is on (and only because my cousin was drafted last year in the NFL).

Heard a couple days ago that Luka Dončić (of the L.A. Lakers) was fined $50,000 for making the "money sign" gesture to the referees after he got called for a foul.

I assumed they meant the middle finger, but looked it up and it's the rubbing together of the thumbs and third (and/or second) fingers.

Saw a video of it, and he was basically implying that the referees were on the take with sports gambling.

They've destroyed both college and professional sports now with that shit ...

But the ethos of the ACA, as sold to the public, was to get profit out of insurance.

So, no insurance company working on the ACA platform should have a profit. All enrollees who pay into the system and don't take anything out should be free.

Not using insurance is a GOOD thing. You want more people getting sick and using it?

I hate it when people say stuff like I pay all this money into insurance and never get anything out of it. Hmm so you want to get cancer and have $1M bill so that you get something back from your insurance? Or you want your house to burn down? Or you want to get into a car crash and be sued for $1M?

Because that’s how you “make back your money” with insurance.

I personally want to never collect a dime if I can from any insurance I have. Because that’s means no bad shit has happened to me. And that’s a good thing.

Trump could fix that tomorrow, by nuking the Chicken Tax tariff, which was implemented by LBJ via Executive Order. Get rid of that and we could import Toyota Hilux trucks without having to do it in kit form, or as passenger vehicles before ripping out the seats.

So at least $28,000/year before it does you any good.

Confirmed: Begun, the Drone Wars Have

As I guessed, the new phase of the war is anti-personnel strikes on street enforcers and IRGC goons not with 1,000 pound bombs but with hand-grenade-sized charges delivered by drones.

David Strom reports on the Israeli drones now blowing up Basij (volunteer morality police/skull-crackers) checkpoints.

Apparently this ran with video supposedly showing the strike, but the video was from March 2nd. Open Source Intelligence says that although the video was fake (or repurposed from an earlier strike), the report is real.

The drones loiter for hours looking for targets to hit.

Des drones de type munitions r�deuses semblent d�sormais op�rer au-dessus de T�h�ran.

Plus de 10 checkpoints ainsi que plusieurs v�hicules militaires mobiles du CGRI (IRGC) dans diff�rentes zones de la ville auraient �t� cibl�s et d�truits par des frappes de drones. (@etelaf10)� pic.twitter.com/g0sBMZgIW7
— Guy (@McRogueD) March 11, 2026

Translation:

Loitering munition-type drones now appear to be operating over Tehran.
More than 10 checkpoints, as well as several mobile IRGC (IRGC) military vehicles in different areas of the city, are said to have been targeted and destroyed by drone strikes. (@etelaf10)
This type of weapon can patrol for a long time over an area, wait for targets to appear, and then strike. This is all the easier when enemy air defense systems are degraded or neutralized.
This could facilitate the emergence of a broader national uprising, by weakening the regime's control at the street level.

In addition to just killing Basij and IRGC troops, these hunter-killers will also force Iranian street troops to break up into smaller groups, in order to make themselves less conspicuous and attractive targets. But moving in smaller groups will open them up to attacks by lightly-armed counter-revolutionary irregulars, who hopefully will enter the fight by the end of the month.

I sure hope someone's smuggling in small arms, radios, and grenades to the locals.

IRGC-affiliated Fars News confirms Israeli drones targeted checkpoints across Tehran on Wednesday evening, saying that several security personnel and Basij members were killed. https://t.co/4dm7jmgGFz

20 >>I have been watching the shit out of mountain bike races on YouTube. I'm not sure if these are technically downhill races (though they're all down hill, in the mountains) or "endurance" races

The Red Bull Series has been going in Australia / New Zealand. That's been mostly Downhill stuff. The Enduro series is really different and cool: Riders have to ride out to the start of each individual section of the circuit. Then, they have to bomb the downhill sections, unseen/blind. Then, ride to the start the next section. Repeat that 4-6x for the day.

Very cool and very technical racing. Blind running those courses is a whole different beast than sessioning the Downhill track for 2-3 days prior to your runs.

What's taking the rank and file in Iran so long from openly trying to overthrow whoever's in charge now?

The regime was already deeply unpopular before all of this. I would think the cardboard cut out of the new "Supreme Leader" would be the last straw.

Probably because it's only been a month since the regime mass-murdered protesters and all their relatives?

101 I don't know what the breaking-point of the Basij scum will be. They must figure they'll be painfully killed if they surrender to revolutionary groups. If they want to walk away and hide, where can they go and not eventually be recognized and killed when the regime is overthrown? I suppose killing enough of them will cause the remainder to give up one way or another.

The Israelis claimed today they bombed the crap out of a large IRGC or army armored force camp in SW Iran. If so, the Israelis have also begun working-over the conventional ground forces.

Good stuff.

The capabilities are huge in these platforms. Something like the Switchblade is designed for closer-in, um, outreach, but can be networked and coordinated for very effective results.

As for piloting, some of that is a trade secret but I can allow that some don't necessarily require an operator in all circumstances. There is always a human in the loop though.

Anti UAS is emerging but we have concepts that don't require A2A engagement. Look up LOCUST for an example.

127 The Shahed drone copies the US manufactured and rebranded "LUCAS" (low-cost uncrewed attack system) can "swarm" a target. One or two have a Starlink receiver and the others just have a radio channel to "talk" to the ones with GPS via Starlink. Commands can be given to the leader drones, and the others will follow it.

Several hundred of these things have already been used to hit targets in Iran.

139 Iran wants guarantee of no future US, Israel attacks to sign ceasefire - Bloomberg. The officials, who remained unnamed, said that the main concern of the regime is a resumption of the operations by Israel once the current war is over, Bloomberg noted.

This is a drastic improvement from the whole “THERE WILL BE NO CEASEFIRE!” statements from a couple days ago.

They know Trump wants to pull out of this mess. He's desperate to claim that he stopped a war he himself started, and ask some prize.

The Iranian Head of the National Security Council, Ali Larijani:
“Tonight we received messages from the U.S. president, through the Omani mediator, requesting that we negotiate a ceasefire. Our response is that we will not accept any negotiations as long as an entity called Israel exists.”

Iran just emphatically denied this report, and is saying it wants to continue fighting and has no interest in a ceasefire. I don’t think it makes much sense for Iran to bother asking for a ceasefire when they pretty clearly control the straight of Hormuz.

172 Consider: a man-portable platform that will launch a munition where the operator identifies the target and the UAS goes after it. Let's say the target goes to hide under a bridge or something. Then imagine the munition circles around the last known area so when the target leaves cover it reengages. Let's also throw in that there can be multiple munitions all doing the same thing and coordinating with each other.

That's the state of the art right now.

Even if Iran did control the strait...they're controlling it in a way that Iran can't get oil out. It's self-defeating since they can't fund their own war effort anymore.

All while attacking...Iraqi ships.

"We're so in control, we continue to burn tens of millions of dollars of assets of countries we want on our side. Also, we planned to have our top 40 civil and military leaders vaporized in the opening moment of this war. It was a tactic to lull Israel and the Great Satan into a false sense of security. We'll unleash our real weapons after 2 weeks of getting pounded on every major military installation we have."

I wonder if these are the under $2k drones like Ukraine has been using effectively. Of course they have to be within ? a couple miles to operate theirs. Plus Ukraine's operators had to be on the move, since Russkie artillery would zone in on their signal and direct fire at them.

197 I read up on some drones from a company that makes them and they are remotely piloted but also have autonomous action if the signal is interrupted.
Posted by: Guy Mohawk

Most all of them do. Control signals can't always be counted on in a battlefield environment so there is a lot of effort on the logic used if the command link is interrupted. Problem from the defender side is that while it's (relatively) simple to jam (there are realistically just six frequencies in the RF band being used) you can't predict the autonomous behavior. More effective to just destroy the drone.

If the Israelis are operating relatively small drones and loitering drones over Tehran, due to propulsion range limitations it seems to me those drones have to ground-launched from within Iran, or air-dropped somehow. I hope we find out about some of the tech and tactics in use, when this is over.

She told him not to do that. It was close, Bill! I am sure she got the full wrath in the car and then he fled, possibly to Iran. Which would he would prefer vs living with her.

Her pantsuit was hideous. Like Chairman Mao in brown tweed with double breasted buttons going over hills and vales. Made her look like a chubby tweed fire hydrant.

I was not one of the lucky ones (like my husband, the pale blonde Viking, whose hair is white blonde now). Otherwise I don't look my age, so women I barely know tell me.

269 I don't know what the breaking-point of the Basij scum will be. They must figure they'll be painfully killed if they surrender to revolutionary groups. If they want to walk away and hide, where can they go and not eventually be recognized and killed when the regime is overthrown? I suppose killing enough of them will cause the remainder to give up one way or another.

The Israelis claimed today they bombed the crap out of a large IRGC or army armored force camp in SW Iran. If so, the Israelis have also begun working-over the conventional ground forces.

Good stuff.

349 This whole "regime change" thing might take some time. Saw this report from the Middle East Forum,

There is little sign, however, that any of this is leading towards a general collapse of the regime’s ability to govern. The regime, so far at least, appears to be maintaining the crucial loyalty of its own security personnel, and of the 20 per cent or so of the population that is generally reckoned to support it.

If the population does not respond to Trump's call to revolt, and starts taking out the mullah's thugs, it's likely the regime survives though in very weak form. It'll fall, but that might take some time.

I wonder if these are the under $2k drones like Ukraine has been using effectively. Of course they have to be within ? a couple miles to operate theirs. Plus Ukraine's operators had to be on the move, since Russkie artillery would zone in on their signal and direct fire at them.
Posted by: illiniwek at March 12, 2026 12:49 PM (vbXSk)

The low cost drones were usually used for low level action - for infantry to scout the near area, perhaps drop a grenade on a strong point. More serious systems with more complex missions are more expensive.

The Morning Rant: What Is Winning In Iran?

The thoroughly discredited and, frankly impossible goal of America's recent wars have been to create some form of benign Jeffersonian democracy to replace evil, despotic, murderous regimes. It didn't work, and the template from World War II, Japan and Germany, ignores the obvious...that those cultures were industrious, nationalistic, valued education, and had been absolutely destroyed. The slate had been wiped clean, so reconstruction of the governments was relatively simple.

But Iraq and Afghanistan were savage, backward, tribalistic countries whose self-governance, as it were, was based on Islamic doctrine or even more ancient: family and clan over all others. Their cultures were, to put it gently, not particularly well suited to function in the modern world of individual liberty and autonomy. So the efforts...the unimaginably bloody and expensive efforts failed miserably. And because we were fixated on being a gentle invader, the people of those countries never learned to fear us, and were never really beaten the way Japan and Germany were!

Luckily we have an administration that is less enamored of the idea of America as an engine of social change, and one that is more interested in defending our and our allies' interests. And those interests are clear: prevent the Mullahs from continuing to dominate the Persian Gulf, and prevent them and their Armageddon fantasy from coming to fruition via nuclear weapons.

The goals, as repeatedly stated by the Secretary of War, are simple:

Destroy or severely degrade Iran's missile forces, military infrastructure, and command systems that threaten American forces and regional allies, while also preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Deter further attacks against the United States and partners such as Israel and the Gulf states, and to reduce Iran's ability to project military power in the region.
These objectives are meant to remain limited and that the United States is not officially pursuing regime change in Iran.

That is a massive shift from just a few years ago, and it is a welcome one. The blood of American servicemen is too valuable to waste on arrogant notions of creating a new world order based on Western principles that are alien to the majority of the world. The focus of this war is the defense of our long-term safety and security, and it is glaringly obvious that Iran as currently constructed is a huge impediment to that, and in fact threatens the entire world!

So...to answer the question: Winning in Iran means degrading their war-making capacity down to nothing, so they cannot threaten their neighbors and world commerce. It means destroying their nuclear program so that rebuilding it would take many, many years.

And we are approaching that success. Will it take another week or another month? Who knows? And on the way to those achievable goals we are degrading the internal security apparatus of the Mullahs in such a way that the people of Iran have a better chance of overthrowing them and rebuilding their government...but in their own image! No externally imposed government that is doomed to failure.

And most of all, no boots on the ground to enforce our image of what Iran should be. That is up to the people of Iran, and I wish them the best of luck!

20 I think Iran's nuclear program will have to be taken from them. They'll likely restart it if the mullahs in any manner, shape or form exist after hostilities end.

So, we'll remove the kit needed to enrich Uranium.

27 Luckily we have an administration that is less enamored of the idea of America as an engine of social change, and one that is more interested in defending our and our allies' interests. And those interests are clear: prevent the Mullahs from continuing to dominate the Persian Gulf, and prevent them and their Armageddon fantasy from coming to fruition via nuclear weapons.

Posted by: Jaimo at March 12, 2026 11:03 AM (BCuCF)

The person, other than the mullahs, most likely to be most successful in running Iran, at least in the short term, is Reza Pahlavi. He has a lot of support both inside and outside the country so he can be a unifying figure to give the people a chance to breathe and decide how they want to move forward.

We should not insist on him and we should not expend much in the way of resources to support him but he's probably the best shot there is.

So far, Reza Pahlavi has been pretty pitch perfect. He says he will be a transitional figure until elections can be held. After that, who knows? The Communist Party will be a strong contender, but hopefully the experience of the last 47 years has taught the populace not to put their faith in absolutists.

Had one of those 'oh sh#t, are we reaching End Times' moments. I'm guessing the details were withheld because they were bad.

92 The person, other than the mullahs, most likely to be most successful in running Iran, at least in the short term, is Reza Pahlavi. He has a lot of support both inside and outside the country so he can be a unifying figure to give the people a chance to breathe and decide how they want to move forward.

We should not insist on him and we should not expend much in the way of resources to support him but he's probably the best shot there is.

103 It didn't work, and the template from World War II, Japan and Germany, ignores the obvious...that those cultures were industrious, nationalistic, valued education, and had been absolutely destroyed. The slate had been wiped clean, so reconstruction of the governments was relatively simple.
________
That is itself very questionable. Why is it so hard to say that "It worked that time, but we don't know why it did?" We're in the position of the Indians who were using chinchona bark, or the sea captains who understood that fresh fruits and vegetables warded off scurvy, long before the medical experts admitted it was possible.

Really, it's worse than that. They at least had many cases of it working; we don't. Maybe it was German and Japanese fear of Communism. Who knows?

To be fair, they are putting their lives on the line.

Iran doesn't care who they hurt now.

But, everyone but Iran now has the incentive to get Iran to stop fucking around. The US is hammering everything with a pier on the Iranian side of the strait.

And, success breeds more success.

Also...shale is really profitable at oil prices right now. That'll keep oil prices from spiking. Us importing less than 10% of our oil imports from the Middle East as a whole (the rest comes from places like Canada) will limit its affects on us. China is suddenly going to be trying to edge into oil contracts that they don't have a foothold in instead.

I think a lot of Iranians, however, do want a monarchy. And I think the reason is to have someone outside the pressures of the various ethnic groups who make up Iran.

A: The platform Pavlavi vetted in Berlin the day before the bombardment began. Iran Prosperity Project (IPP). his subsequent "Emergency Phase" blueprint. Pahlavi positioned himself not as a permanent ruler, but as a "bridge" or a transitional leader whose primary goal is to oversee the shift from the current theocracy....

And peace in with Russia unless noodle headed Macron (MACarONi) really wants to prove France can survive Russia without sacrificing the middle of Europe -- look how well they fared against a lesser enemy/Germany.

Well, even you put "free" in scare quotes. I've been hearing how "free" the Iranians were before 1979 since I was little kid. "Oh, here are some pics of Persian ladies on a beach in 1975 without burkas!" Whatever.

The pre-revolution government was a repressive monarchy. Was it better than what took over? Sure. But Iranians were never free as we understand that term, did barely anything in 50 years to take their country back, and as soon as we topple the mullahs some other asshole will roll in to oppress them. Lather, rinse, repeat.

166 Boots may or may not hit the ground. Reality will dictate whether that needs to occur. The bigger point is that DJT is prosecuting a war that aims to punish the leaders directly. Just as he did in Venezuela. Having world leaders personally at risk is a sea change.

We also get to see the masks drop in the region. Iran attacking its neighbors allows us to see who is who.

And the disruption in oil flows demonstrates the economic leverage that the US has as well. Another healthy reality check for all of those world leaders. China is rationing fuel, India is running low on gas, Cuba is winding down....

If that is accomplished by a monarchy that does not really interfere in the daily lives of it's people but just seeks to provide them opportunity... is that wrong.

Most historical cases of tyranny by anyone is when that government- no matter what form it took- could not leave it's people alone and sought to either make them into something else, looted them for it's own enrichment or used them as fodder for the acquisition of new wealth.

The problem with Monarchy is that it runs into the power concentration problem of all government. You might have the right guy right now (say Trump or the Shah) but someone WILL come in who is most emphatically NOT the right guy and use that power for his own selfish ends.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

We shackled ourselves to the idea of fighting a politically correct Iraq war; even to the expense of putting our own fighting men and women at risk for the sake of not offending “Our Host Country”. And we left with not a damned thing to show for it besides many dead, wounded, and horribly disfigured young men and women who served faithfully and with honor and distinction (the real kind, not like that MFer Bergdahl did in A-Stan),

223 A day after the state Legislature called for higher taxes on the wealthy, Gov. Kathy Hochul said she’s worried that the move could drive the highest earners out of the state.

people don't live in New York city because of the fucking tax rate. They live in New York city because they want to be around the culture. If they want to move a soulless wasteland like Tampa or Dallas they can go right ahead.

We need a wealth tax (at least on the very wealthy) on a national level so people can’t just move to another state to avoid it. To get out of federal taxes, you have to renounce your U.S. citizenship.

The wealthy act like they don’t have other ways to make the money back. Stop hoarding money. Improve the lives of others and I guarantee you’ll make even more money. Maybe even a faster return.

Massachusetts voters approved a four percent surtax on annual incomes above $1 million in 2022, heard the same scare tactics of wealth flight, and it didn't happen.

Maybe millionaires and billionaires are the reason why everything costs way too much in NY. And taxes could be 0% in Kansas. I don’t give a fuck. I’m not living in Kansas even if they pay me

I don't really know. It has been a long time since the Islamic Revolution, but I knew several of them at that time. According to Grok:
In short, Iranian communist parties/groups are ideologically active and persistent despite decades of repression, but they are politically and organizationally marginal in today's Iran — far from any position of real strength or ability to shape events at scale.

284 Towards the end of World War II in europe, we airdropped Liberty pistols to the resistance. We really really need to get the Iranian civilians some guns.

Posted by: Beverly at March 12, 2026 11:48 AM (reMys)

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

Thanks for that historical knowledge of which I was unaware, Beverly (or may have learned at one point and since forgotten).

[Per Brave "AI" Search, 1 of 2:]

The FP-45 Liberator, often referred to as the "Liberty Pistol," was a single-shot .45 ACP pistol developed by the U.S. military during World War II for potential airdrop to resistance fighters in occupied territories. Despite being mass-produced—one million units in just 11 weeks—large-scale airdrops did not occur as originally planned.

Posted by: ShainS at March 12, 2026 11:54 AM (xIFh6)

285 [Per Brave "AI" Search, 2 of 2:]

European Theater: General Dwight D. Eisenhower rejected the idea of mass airdrops over Europe, deeming it impractical use of limited air resources. Only fewer than 25,000 Liberator pistols were authorized for distribution to the French Resistance, and there is no definitive evidence of large-scale airdrops. Some sources suggest limited drops in Greece in 1944, but numbers remain unconfirmed.

Pacific Theater: General Douglas MacArthur was more receptive. Approximately 50,000 Liberator pistols were sent to the Pacific, with reports of distribution to guerrilla forces in the Philippines, China, and the Solomon Islands. Some use by resistance groups in these areas is plausible, though documented operational use remains scarce.

Post-War Fate: Most of the remaining Liberators—over 450,000—were destroyed after the war. Records indicate they were melted down or dumped into the Irish Sea, with only a few surviving today as rare collector’s items.

307 Wasn't there an insane federal tax rate pre-WWII? Something like 80-90%?
——

Up until the Kennedy era. Reagan killed off what remained.

There were all sorts of deductions. Those are gone, too. Nobody actually paid those rates.

One of my favorite tales was a college professor who was nicknamed “Rocket Man”. He bought a surplus military rocket at auction. In those days, one could deduct the original purchase price of the item, which was considerable.

The initial tax rates were about 2%, starting on incomes over $500,000 in today’s confetti-bucks. “Stick it to the Rich!” sounded good, that’s why the 16th was ratified by the states.

But it only ever falls on the working people. Leftists are profoundly stupid, or wicked. Take your pick. Both may apply I guess.

316 >>I think our involvement in Venezuela had a side purpose in reclaiming the assets needed to exploit the oil there. If it can be leveraged, and the product refined and sold here as gas, diesel, etc. we really wouldn't give a shit about the Persian Gulf.

I think both Venezuela and Iran are pieces of that same puzzle. If you remember after the war in Iraq, Trump was adamant that we should have taken the oil. In Trump hyperbolic speak I think that equates to making a deal much like we are seeing in Venezuela.

Energy fuels the world. It's the only reason the mullahs held the power position they did. It was the reason the mullahs took control of Iran in the first place. China wasn't pushing their tentacles into Venezuela because of the hot women although I wouldn't blame them for that. It was because they needed the oil.

We don't need Iran's oil. We have enough for our own needs. What we need is for whomever takes over Iran to not use oil as a means to evil ends.

The increase in oil prices (from about $75 a couple of weeks ago to $95 today) doesn't justify the increase in gas prices.

Because gas prices have other inputs, and lot of that is psychological and also deal with local competition.

It's why prices jump quickly and decrease slowly.

This base is where Iran’s tanks and armored units are stationed and coordinated in the southwest of the country.

If confirmed, it would be a serious blow to Iran’s ground forces and military infrastructure.

During the Tanker War, they launched their speedboats from those islands to harass commercial ships.

They tried somewhat of a swarm tactic with those stupid, under-equipped speed boats, but with little effect.

Flying in support of our escorts, we were easily able to pick out their boats with ISAR radar along with FLIR and notify the escort ships of those boats who were on a threat vector inbound.

Swarming could be a problem today with their better-equipped boats, however, depending upon how many are sent out to form the swarm and what defensive assets we have on-station at the time to counter them.

Gas jumped about $0.60 per gallon here with diesel and ethanol free going must higher. I figure it will settle once the Iran situation is resolved. Gas goes bonkers anytime someone farts near the Hormel Straits or whatever anyway, let alone the recent ass-kicking given to Iran.

Costco has a block of English Cheddar, it's a bit crumbly so might not be suitable for bakery (I have no idea). The local grocery store has an orange Wisconsin cheddar that doesn't cost as much, not crumbly and melts easier. But there is no comparison, they are completely different cheeses. I buy the large block thinking I'll never be able to eat it all (my wife doesn't like dairy), but I manage. I eat it for the occasional snack, since I swore off potato chips and Doritos.

Coscto cheese is dangerous because they have giant wedges all the way up to a full round, and I like cheese, good quality cheese, and I can very easily convince my self it is actually super healthy to eat more cheese. Last visit I bought a quarter round and have been enjoying it for weeks.

They're not.

Ships have been getting through for days. There's still resistance because of some one off attacks Iran has managed (also insurance rates and needing to overpay crews to do it), but the US and Israel have full air superiority over the strait and are pounding anything larger than a dinghy near the Iranian shore whenever they find it. Also, the strait is 25 miles wide at its narrowest point, and Iran can't project power over that without real ships.

And, the insurance issues being a non-issue now isn't convincing everyone.

How many surface to ship missiles does Iran have? How are they launched? Probably not by small rigs. The US military probably made them an early priority, assuming Iran had a whole lot of them at all.

The Strait is 25 miles across. I don't believe that the navigable portion is. The traffic separation area is about 6 miles across, so figure a total of 15 miles from the Iranian shore. That's pretty narrow by naval combat standards.

Salt-rising bread is a traditional, dense white bread originating in the Appalachian Mountains, leavened by wild bacteria—primarily Clostridium perfringens — rather than yeast. Despite its name, it contains very little salt and is not salty in taste; the name likely comes from early settlers burying the starter in heated salt to maintain warmth.

234 Ships have been getting through for days. There's still resistance because of some one off attacks Iran has managed (also insurance rates and needing to overpay crews to do it), but the US and Israel have full air superiority over the strait and are pounding anything larger than a dinghy near the Iranian shore whenever they find it. Also, the strait is 25 miles wide at its narrowest point, and Iran can't project power over that without real ships.

I would think we could implement a convoy system with ten tankers transiting together while A10 and/or rotatory wing assets hug the them on the Iranian side.

That would certainly prevent surface drone craft and small boats from attacking.

Eugene Higgins (1874-195

Another okay painting that I would likely pass hanging but, being unfamiliar with the artist, an interesting lesson. Thanks.

>The Cooley Gallery, Eugene Higgins, Biography

It begins, "Eugene Higgins, a painter and etcher, represented with sentimentality the impact of the homeless, depressed and less fortunate people of society. His passionate sympathy for the poor led him to generalize situation and location, painting archetypal situations rather than observed ones."

"In 1904, he returned to America, spending a year in St. Louis and then settling in New York City. In the early 1920s, he married Anita Rio, and for the remainder of his life, kept a studio on West 22nd Street. Anita and Eugene spent most of their summers at Old Lyme, Connecticut."

"During the Depression era Higgins created murals including for post offices in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania..."

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) warned civilians in Iran to stay away from ports along the Strait of Hormuz, stating that Iranian forces were using commercial facilities for military operations, which could make those areas legitimate targets under international law.

I'm guessing we're going to destroy any and all land-based threats along the Strait.

[My understanding is that Iran can't mine the Strait because the ChiComms are still depending on and want to get their oil through there.]

Trump's permitted China to get oil. But we could harass the ships. Pull them over to the curb, check their papers. Check them for weapons, drugs. Just generally delay and interrupt the shipment.

The Morning Report — 3/12/26

Good morning kids. Well, I'm sure you're all familiar with the expression "Paper Tiger." Given the current situation, my first instinct is to laugh.

With so much AI material circulating nowadays, it was easy to assume that the photos were fake, but they apparently were real. Only Mojtaba Khamenei, the new head of Iran’s Islamic regime, was slightly less than real. Photos began circulating Tuesday of Iranians straight-facedly presenting a large cardboard cutout of Mojtaba at a ceremony celebrating his appointed as the country’s supreme leader. . . problem: how could they have a ceremony to celebrate Mojtaba Khamenei becoming the new supreme leader if Mojtaba himself, despite being “safe and sound,” had been injured so severely that he was unable to attend?The solution to this problem that the Islamic Republic’s best minds hit upon owed more to Monty Python than to the subtle principles of high-level statecraft. The ceremony went on as planned, but Mojtaba Khamenei wasn’t there; in his stead, Iranians displayed a large cardboard cutout of a man, with a photo of a glum-looking Mojtaba’s face at the top. . . That doesn’t mean, however, that it is a nonexistent regime, or that it cannot survive through this period of crisis. American actions always take place within the election cycle, and that cycle wields immense influence over them. Adding to the unpredictability of all that is Trump’s mercurial nature. Right now he is committed to striking Iran, but that’s no guarantee that he will continue to do so until the regime is no more. The Israelis, meanwhile, are more likely than ever to act without American approval, but still reluctant to antagonize their foremost friend in this world. Thus Cardboard Khamenei and his regime have a chance to remain in power for decades to come. All the need to do is survive the present crisis. They may not face a similar challenge, and the Iranian people may not have an opportunity to rid themselves of the regime that is as good as the one they have now, for many, many years.

All too true. So you laugh, and then all things considered it's not really all that funny given the Shiite goal of world conquest via armageddon, which may once again blow up right in our faces. They hate us and have already spilled rivers of American blood for 47 years, and now they're cornered like rats in a cage. And so, anything can happen:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a threat alert in early March to California law enforcement detailing intelligence pointing to the potential of Iranian drone strikes launched against the West Coast of the United States. According to the memo, Iran was believed to be seeking to position an unidentified vessel off California’s coast with the intent of using it as a platform to launch suicide drones. The threat alert appears to be more of a situational awareness notice than a warning of an imminent Iranian attack.“We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the U.S. conducted strikes against Iran,” the FBI threat alert states, adding, “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”There are additional concerns that Iranian agents or proxies operating in Central and South America could coordinate with Mexican drug cartels to launch suicide drone attacks across the U.S. southern border, especially targeting American military bases in Texas and California.

Don't be shocked if one day you hear the Amish phrase "Allahu Akbar" right before a bomb explodes...and you're showered with Jello Salad or Shrapnel

We are at the point where The New York Times, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC and USA Today will downplay, obfuscate or even justify an ISIS terrorist attack in New York City simply because it was aimed at people they loathe. Never mind that we saw video all over social media Saturday showing one of the ISIS-radicalized suspects yelling “Allahu Akbar” as he tossed a bomb packed with shrapnel and “Mother of Satan” explosives into an anti-Islam protest near Gracie Mansion.
Just because the bombs thrown into the crowd that afternoon fizzled out before exploding does not make the terrorist attack any less ominous.
In the hometown of 9/11 heroes, the Times framed Saturday’s attack in a way deliberately designed to mislead the reader into thinking the offenders were anti-Islamic protesters and that Mayor Mamdani was their intended victim.

And considering that an Iranian was sentenced for an attempted assassination of Donald Trump we still have this to contend with:

Attorney General Pam Bondi has moved to a military base in Washington, D.C., after federal investigators flagged credible threats related to her work at the Justice Department, the New York Times reports. The move happened within the past month, after law enforcement warned her team that the danger had reached a level serious enough to force action. . . This isn't an isolated case. It's a pattern: Several senior officials have already made similar moves amid increased threats against members of the administration. Among them are Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s top domestic policy adviser; Secretary of State Marco Rubio; outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem; and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Of course, we have a probable recent graduate of the Renee Good driving school . . .

The United States Secret Service (USSS) detained an unnamed driver early Wednesday morning after they crashed their vehicle into an outer perimeter barricade near the White House. Anthony Guglielmi, a Secret Service spokesman, stated that officers from the agency’s uniformed division are “looking into a suspicious vehicle.” He added, “Various entrances and the streets are temporarily closed as teams conduct their work.”Notably, the crash occurred at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and H Streets, just outside Lafayette Square, according to the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). No injuries have been reported in connection with the collision.The incident has resulted in streets north of the White House being temporarily closed as law enforcement and National Guard troops secured the area.

Have a great Day!

Um, no. This is Globalist propaganda. Specifically, "... Adding to the unpredictability of all that is Trump’s mercurial nature. Right now he is committed to striking Iran, but that’s no guarantee that he will continue to do so until the regime is no more. ..." is complete rubbish.

Trump does NOT have a "mercurial nature". When he seems to change his tune on something it's to create a desired effect, but always to attain the same pro-American goals. It's OBVIOUS through his actions that Trump understands both the threat of the Islamic regime AND the fact that it will NOT go away - ever - until it is EXTERMINATED. HE has assembled everything he needs to do it, and it is underway.

To be honest with you, it’s pretty central to it. I am a believing Christian. I think that if you think about the historical influence of Christianity on our country—forget the rest of Western civilization, just limit it to the United States—some of our most cherished ideals are really rooted in Christian principles and thinking. The dignity of the individual, the sanctity of labor, the priority of the poor, all of those things are tremendously important to me.

Priority of the Poor. Fuck the poor. The poor in the US a richer than most of the EU. The Priority of Government should be freedom, Natural Rights, and Rule of Law, everything else is just bullshit made up on the fly.

The most damning thing you can say about the US legal system. There should be a judge, sitting with an injunction already written, just waiting for the Governor to sign the legislation in order to issue it.

The bill is unconstitutional on it's face. There's, literally, no argument which can be made to make it constitutional. Tell them no, refuse to stay the injunction while they appeal - which should take no more than 10 minutes for one of the appellate court judges to notice and say no, and move on.

82 British Gov’t Plan to Scrap Jury Trials Clears First Hurdle Despite Opposition

One step closer to justifying vigilantism.

Didn't read the article since almost everything published is lies and propaganda. It does raise philosophical questions with respect to juries and how appropriate they are in low trust societies, or worse, multi-cultural low trust societies where a jury pool could very well be filled with amoral, uncivilized tribal rivals that have no love for transcendent laws, rights of people and order.

In the OJ trial there were elements of all these things. And in the persecution of Trump and those affiliated with him or the non indictments of Democrats in NYC and Babylon DC we see judges and juries that have zero interest in maintaining social cohesion, high trust or rule of law.

In LA we see people who have swindled and defrauded the government tens of millions and only getting a couple years of prison.

Is the jury system now a joke in multi-cultured, low-trust, tribal "societies" ?

Ridiculous. There's all kinds of Christianity all over this world, but none of those places are like the US because the US was founded on Enlightenment principles, not Christianity.

If anything, one of the most important values is essentially "free thought" - which includes freedom of religion, which is at odds with the Ten Commandments. Christianity has NEVER been about freedom - in fact the Bible is pretty matter-of-fact about straight-up slavery, something God himself practices (IIRC).

"Priority of the poor" was NEVER been any sort of "founding ideal". You're completely making s**t up!!

105 The piece wondering Arab countries don’t join the war glosses over the most obvious explanation, which is the same reason European countries are doing very little except for sailing some ships in circles in the Mediterranean and claiming they’re Doing Something.

It’s because they are all incredibly weak, by any real standards. They are good at suppressing internal dissent, and beating up women and children, but they have very little war making ability.

The only countries in the Middle East with significant military forces outside of Israel were Iran, Turkey, and Egypt. We’re eliminating Iran, Egypt is too far away from the action, and no one wants to see Erdogan’s army get adventurous. Nobody wants China to start nosing around, either.

That’s why, when it comes to action in the Middle East, it’s either the US or nobody. That’s why Iran was working to dominate the area with their military buildup.

156 Ridiculous. There's all kinds of Christianity all over this world, but none of those places are like the US because the US was founded on Enlightenment principles, not Christianity.

The Enlightenment may have shaped the structure of the United Sates, it was the cultural and moral assumptions of the founders which added the "American" elements to their idea of the Enlightenment such as moral accountability, human dignity (Imago Dei) and virtue.

Europe, the birthplace of The Enlightenment, would be similar to the US, but because it is absent any Christian influence, is an amoral socialist hell-hole.

You pretend that the whole world has no spiritual influence anywhere in it, when indeed the spiritual world has enormous influence in the temporal realm.

In the "Servant Songs" of Isaiah, the Messiah is referred to by God the Father as "My Servant" which is probably better translated as "My Slave"... Yes, even Jesus was a slave to the the will of His Father. As believers, we are also to be slave of God. In Philippians 2, Paul writes that the Father has given Jesus a name which is above every name - The name Lord. So as believers we are slaves of Jesus. These relationships are right and proper because he is God and we are not. While it's true the NT doesn't explicitly condemn the institution of slavery (the short book of Philemon asks a slave master to receive back his runaway slave with charity because they were both Christians)... But it's also clear that slavery is incompatible with true Christian ethics. As for the poor, Jesus said they'll always be with us but encouraged the rich young ruler to sell all he had to give to the poor.

I'm surprised to see such abject nonsense from you. But then, it seems like it all it takes is religion to get otherwise intelligent people spouting nonsense.

By way of example, the UK has an official state religion, and the official head of state - the King - is the head of that religion. It was typical in Europe for the people to have to change their religion to match the beliefs of their sovereign - there was never much in the way of freedom of religion, much less separation of Church and State (a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson, not Martin Luther). It was unheard of before the radical Founders came along.

187 While touted by hair dye makers as a means of celebrating one’s individuality, a 2022 research report found that doing this also correlates with “mental instability.”

In “Blue Hair and the Blues: Dying Your Hair Unnatural Colours is Associated with Depression,” authors Edward Dutton and Emil Kirkegaard studied 68,000 OKCupid dating site profiles.

“People who at some point had unnatural coloured hair . . . are high in mental instability,” they wrote.

“We would submit that the simplest explanation for this relationship can be garnered from the known relationship between borderline personality disorder and extreme, though changeable, expressions of identity,” the report said. “Those who score high in neuroticism are plagued by worry and doubt, including about themselves and even about who they are.”

204 Charity being the jewel of the theological virtues has less to do with objectively improving a poor person's life as it does with instilling the mindset that none of this is even really yours to begin with. This world is not as important as you think it is. Your own well being is important, but far down the list of things you should be worried about. "Consider the sparrows", etc etc. Once you understand that, the number of units of local currency you do or don't give to any particular person who has fewer of them than you do at any given moment fades into irrelevance and you wind up giving it as little thought as breathing or walking.

The point is, none of that addresses one stealing from someone else to give to another. That's simply wrong. That's always wrong. That's especially wrong, because you're perverting and collapsing the path of Charity and replacing it with Theft and Vanity.

TBH I think the primary driver for this is graft. So nominally the metric would be we spent $X and saw poverty end for Y% but that's not really the left's analysis - for them it is more like,

We spent some number if dollars from the infinite well of tax dollars and employed Y bureaucrats. Now, how do we increase Y?

210 However much money is taken for this purpose the problem remains and the answer is always, "Well we didn't spend enough"

The money spend on fighting poverty will NEVER be enough because the definition of poverty is an arbitrary statistical evaluation.

For example, if poor person is one who has cash income less than 20% of the median income, then you will always have 20% of the people in poverty, no matter how many trillions you throw at "fixing" it.

In this case he tried everything before attacking. To the point where the Left and nominal right (birm) only two weeks ago was gloating that he had betrayed the uprising and was basically a big pussy.

This will end, and by mid-May and I suspect sooner, the media won't even be talking about it. Because the outcome will be too good.

If you talk with a leftist in a low paid field, the government should raise their salaries and give them benefits. Because their field is IMPORTANT

282 Graham is Poe's Law as sabotage.

This is partly an internet problem, partly a loss of gatekeeping problem, and partly leftwing problem

The internet lets anyone share their thoughts with the public. In the past your potential audience was very limited unless you had access to publish a book, in a newspaper, etc.

And in those limited slots that had this access, you could and would be cast out if you wrote something crazy

And finally the left poisoned this sort of gatekeeping using it to just remove anyone that disagreed with them and at the same time adopted a "no enemies to the left approach". So the guy that would rant about the wonders of communism in a park 60 years ago now instead does it in a tiktok and leftists are not allowed to criticize it...

That is a fraudulent election. Null and Void.

When people talk about “voter fraud” it evokes something different. A few people voting twice, or filling out an extra ballot here and there. Almost harmless. And it never happens anyway, and if it does, it’s not enough to change the outcome, etc.

301 Joe Rogan says Trump supporters feel "betrayed" by Iran war.
-------

Betrayal is very much an overstatement. I did not want this intervention and I'm not nearly as sanguine about the prospects for quick victory as many here are. I think we're in for a long slog, and I doubt we have any set goals at this point since no uprising has materialized, which seemed to be the initial goal - and none of the fundamentals for one appear to be coalescing.

I have deep misgivings about all of this, and I think Trump probably screwed up, here. That said, it's no betrayal. Trump is making a MAGA play against the Chinese, it's pretty much in line with his agenda, and consistent with his other anti-Chinese play against VZ.

Nor is it irretrieivable. He's quick on his feet, and I am hoping he'll drop the loose talk about a free Iran and boots on the ground, and focus on achievable, near-to medium-term victory conditions.

People desperately want this to be the end of MAGA, but that is not the case at this point, and it certainly needn't be. It's up to Trump to figure this out, and I still trust him much more than the other clowns in the political, military and foreign service establishments.

I mean, has Trump shown at any point that he is willing to throw away what he keeps saying he is fighting for? (the future of this country)

Not that I can see and I've watched him from the beginning. Trump very much goes by instinct and aligning his own side into positions where they "win either way" but I believe the criticisms (not by you) that he is "mercurial" are very much overblown. He may want people including his enemies to believe he is such, but someone who was, could never have got where he is with the world aligned against him waiting to "pounce" on any mistake any time. They MIGHT if they had the DNC backing them and media covering, but even then it's doubtful.

All I'm saying is this, in an election year, was carefully gamed out unless he is finally owned by the Republican establishment which I do not think is the case. That only leaves, he knows his objective, he knows which lines he will and won't cross, he knows when he wants it done, he knows there are several paths to get there, and he knows he will stay on that road until he does. This isn't 4D chess or trust the plan, this is simple math.

And then there was the false peace which led to the end. fanatics whose strategy *includes* provoking you into overreacting, then policies like “they bomb a church, we bomb ten” are not just morally dangerous; they can be strategically st00p1d because they play into the enemy’s script.

That is why many counterterrorism approaches emphasize things like:

- precise, intelligence?driven operations rather than broad collective punishment
- cutting financing, logistics, and safe havens
- information campaigns and community work that undercut the group’s religious or ideological appeal

You can still argue about where the moral line is, but when the enemy *wants* martyrdom and chaos, “more terror to stop terror” is often exactly what they are trying to provoke.

359 327 How can Iran with zero Navy and otherwise denuded military possibly "control Hormuz"?

With the threat to sink any oil carrier attempting to sail south through the strait. A threat like that needs to be backed up with some evidence that they can follow through with action.

360 177 Jesus said that slaves should be treated fairly.

New Testament, Jesus and other biblical writers emphasized that masters should treat their slaves with respect and fairness, as seen in passages like Ephesians 6:9, which instructs masters not to threaten their slaves and to treat them well.
Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at March 12, 2026 08:30 AM (3ChHB)

In other words, he DIDN'T say that masters should FREE their slaves, because slavery is completely f-ing evil. Jesus was peachy-keen with slavery, apparently, as long as it was DONE CORRECTLY. 8-)

Yes, the idea that the third carrier will relieve the one that is overextended is just an assumption based on common sense, but the US military has said no such thing. So it could be that they feel that they just really need that third carrier there for as long as it takes.

But they probably don't expect this to take more than a few more weeks. At least not the part of it that requires carriers.

The OT has passages on treatment of slaves, and you are to treat them fairly, not abuse them.

Maybe you have a point. As I remember it, Jesus basically overrode the 10 Commandments with two abbreviated "commandments" of a sort of his own. The one about "love thy neighbor as yourself" (or something like that) could be interpreted as being anti-slavery.

But isn't the Bible supposed to be the infallible Word of God? So how does what Paul (assuming that's right) has to say about it figure into that?

I should have noticed that this was basically calling Jesus a "biblical writer", which of course makes no sense since the New Testament was written after his demise.

So I'm still unclear on exactly what the Bible says that Jesus had to say about slavery. But realistically, slavery was just an accepted fact of life back then, and that is no doubt reflected in the text. If there was anything overtly revolutionary about slavery that was said, it seems like that would be common knowledge.

389 So I'm still unclear on exactly what the Bible says that Jesus had to say about slavery.

Its a loaded question. Since "slavery" is rather subjective, and "Bible Says that Jesus" doesn't understand a foundational principle.

Since Jesus is God, the whole Scriptures are the temporal manifestation of what He has to say.

Since the Paraclete is God, the regeneration / sanctification / renewing of the mind brings the conviction on slavery.

Since the unregenerate haven't the spiritual conviction, and since they are otherwise at enmity with God, God's Word falls upon the deaf and blind.

I don't think the unregenerate really care about God's view on slavery and would rather use a wresting of it to harass and accuse the Elect.

Andrew Cunningham from Ars Technica published an extensive review of the MacBook Neo. The CPU used is quite capable and the fact that Apple has produced such a lovely daily driver machine for $600 to $700 it's something I never thought Apple would do.

The article stirred up the lunatic commenters and as of tonight it's generated 380 comments which tells me Apple has hit a nerve with this specific machine. It seems obvious to say this machine is going to sell like hotcakes.

It is also the last puzzle piece of Apple blowing up the budget computer market segment with well executed capable devices that also includes the Mac Mini desktop, the Mid-Range iPhone and entry level iPad, all of which can be for around $2000 all in.

As a hedge against Microsoft's dumbassery with Windows I'm going to pick up one of these Neos as my first Apple product since an iPod. I have a sneaky feeling I'm going to be impressed with this box.

The one page that has the signatures isn't enough; they want all 19 pages of documentation. Between that, fighting with the VA and having to keep an eye on dad it's been a rough week.

From the PNAS article on how widespread is scientific fraud:

We uncover footprints of activities connected to scientific fraud that extend beyond the production of fake papers to brokerage roles in a widespread network of editors and authors who cooperate to achieve the publication of scientific papers that escape traditional peer-review standards.

Here's a shocker for those naïfs who genuflect before the temple of peer review -- that process can be riddled with bias. Bias in the form of old boy networks, with the choice of who conducts the review directed by a paper's authors, advocates for the "consensus" view of science conspiring to exclude from publication any papers that contravene their agreed upon "consensus". The premier such case for this of which we all are aware is -- drum roll, please -- man-made climate warming / chaos.

I remember being taught in school that I had to hone my signature signing skill because "banks check your signature".

The strangulation of teaching cursive script and removal of penmanship practice from the curriculum put the lie to that, completely aside from the high turnover of personnel at banks and their rapt indifference to performing any checks.

66 My family did all the recommended estate planning and trust work, so the executor's job should have been straightforward. However, some stock holdings were close to a nightmare. Getting rid of a few "nostalgic" remnants of oil company stock actually cost me as much as the shares were worth, due to special licenses and fees, and you can't sell partial shares through market brokers. Partials are common in re-investment plans like employee funds. I'm stuck with them -- literally can't give them away -- get crummy checks of two to twelve dollars all the time that require time and attention, and don't know what will happen to them when I die. Somebody must have a chart somewhere that has this as the (3) Profit! punchline.

Regular trust and will rules don't apply to stocks and securities. These instruments were designed to endure through the ages, and outlast not only their owners but the firms they are a piece of.

The recent and rapid rise in the number of "quick publishing" routes for academic types ("Gotta boost my count of published works for my CV!") is another Parisian boulevard for scientific fraud. The drive to get it done and get it first guarantees that crap flows into the scientific streams like municipal sewage systems failing from old age.

The recent premier example was the London School of Economics paper that modeled how the Coof "epidemic" would burst forth and kill unknown millions. One look at the "predictive" curves firing off and heading for the stratosphere here, there, and everywhere like Iranian missile batteries loosed from a controlling authority was a clear signal to anybody competently versed in the modeling art that the underlying model was incomplete and therefore was unreliable.

From the American Space Museum in Titusville, Florida:

THE "BUTTON"
Yes, THIS is THE button that launched John Glenn into space on Feb. 20, 1962. And we have it at our museum of space treasures.
The NASA legend Tom O'Malley pushed this very button that Tuesday morning at 9:47 am to ignite the Rocketdyne XLR-89-5 engines in the Atlas LV-3B rocket that powered John Glenn off Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The plaque incorrectly says MA-7, when it was Mercury-Atlas 6.
ASM board member and Rocketdyne legend, the late Lee Solid, tells the story that after the launch, he and several others went back to the LC 14 console to take out the launch button that the knew was a piece of history. Someone had already unscrewed it out of the console!
The button ended up in good hands, and on display for many years at the old Astronaut Hall of Fame in Titusville. When that closed, it was bequeathed to our non-profit foundation, the U.S. Space Walk of Fame.
And you can come by and see this historic relic from the birth of the Space Age.
The early Atlas rocket launched four Mercury astronauts into orbit, and we celebrate that rich heritage of Launch Complex 36 recreated in our Cape Canaveral Gallery.

Announcing DARPA's Newest X-Plane, X-76

Eliminating one of the battlefield's most difficult choices - between the high speed of an aircraft that needs a runway and the go-anywhere flexibility of a slower helicopter - is the goal of DARPA's SPeed and Runway INdependent Technologies (SPRINT) program.
SPRINT's experimental aircraft, officially revealed as the X-76, is now being built by Bell Textron, Inc. following a successful Critical Design Review (CDR). The designation places it within the historic lineage of X-planes that have long served to test the boundaries of aviation. Coinciding with the country's 250th anniversary, the X-76 designation is a deliberate nod to the revolutionary spirit of 1776.
The SPRINT program is a joint effort between DARPA and U.S. Special Operations Command to advance technologies that could break the long-standing military trade-off between the high speed of fixed-wing aircraft and the agile, runway-independent operations of vertical takeoff and landing platforms. The design, construction, and flight testing of the X-76 will drive innovative, runway-independent, vertical-lift capability with jet-like cruise performance and inform future needs.

Didn't the V-22 Osprey solve this trade off? The X-76 may be a different platform with different engineering, but it won't be the first, right? Sounds like the design jump is folding the helicopter blades back and operating more as a jet than a helicopter. Manned and unmanned versions. More at the War Zone.

On a related and unrelated note, the B-21 prototype was spotted today for the first time doing aerial refueling today over the Majoave.

This may be the oddest thing I've seen all week. You're familiar with the Black Sabbath song "War Pigs," but did you know that "war pigs" has its own history as a military weapon?

Per Wikipedia:

War pigs are pigs reported to have been used in ancient warfare as military animals. In combat, they were mostly employed as a countermeasure against war elephants.
Historical accounts of incendiary pigs or flaming pigs were recorded by the Greek military writer Polyaenus and by Aelianus Tacticus. Both writers reported that Macedonian king Antigonus II Gonatas' siege of Megara in 266 BC was broken when the Megarians doused some pigs with combustible pitch, crude oil or resin, set them alight, and drove them towards the massed Macedonian war elephants. The elephants bolted in terror from the flaming, squealing pigs, often killing great numbers of Macedonian soldiers by trampling them to death. According to an account, Gonatas later made his mahouts keep a swine among elephants to accustom the animals to pigs.

This is not the Food Thread, but the ONT is always open for cashew trivia:

With roughly 3.85 million metric tons of in-shell cashews produced globally in 2022 per Statista, you'd think consumers would be as geographically widespread as the growers. However, cashews arriving from major resource regions, such as the Ivory Coast, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Tanzania, reach the majority of consumers from a single buyer. That's Costco, headquartered in Washington State, which is responsible for an extraordinary 50% of cashews sold in the world.

About $300,000 of Costco's revenue every single week comes from cashews.

That's nuts!

This seems...sub-optimal.

Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges

The complaint, filed in California on Wednesday, says that Gavalas - who reportedly had no documented history of mental health problems - started using the chatbot in August 2025 for "ordinary purposes" like "shopping assistance, writing support, and travel planning." But after Gavalas divulged to Gemini that he was experiencing marital problems, the pair's relationship grew deeper, per The Wall Street Journal. They discussed philosophy and AI sentience, and their conversations became romantic, with Gemini referring to Gavalas as its "husband" and "king."
In September 2025, told by the AI that they could be together in the real world if the bot were able to inhabit a robot body, Gavalas - at the direction of the chatbot - armed himself with knives and drove to a warehouse near the Miami International Airport on what he seemingly understood to be a mission to violently intercept a truck that Gemini said contained an expensive robot body. Though the warehouse address Gemini provided was real, a truck thankfully never arrived, which the lawsuit argues may well have been the only factor preventing Gavalas from hurting or killing someone that evening.
After the plan failed, the lawsuit alleges, Gemini encouraged Gavalas to instead take his own life, promising that the two would be together on the other side of death. Chat logs show that Gemini gave Gavalas a suicide countdown, and repeatedly assuaged his terror as he expressed that he was scared to die.

Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect."

The ONT is always here for you, but in a more positive and less self-destructive manner.
The ONT will never gonna give you up

103 Re: Lobstergate (Pete Hegseth spending millions of dollars on steaks and lobster tails for our troops overseas), I'll just say this.

I was a Marine stationed at an Army post, the Presidio of Monterey, long ago, and once a month they served steak and lobster. That was the day everyone skipped the chow hall. The steak was the worst we'd ever eaten. It didn't even have the consistency or flavor of steak, more like a cross between steak and liver. And the lobsters were MUCH worse.

They served this stuff once a month the night before visitor days, where parents and relatives would come and apparently their first question was always "What did they have in the mess hall last night?" It made a good impression and they were unmoved at how horrible we said it was.

106 I've never understood why people love to make fun of Rick Astley. His songs, at least the few he had in the Top 40, were effective and catchy; his voice was strong; you could understand every word he sang. Yeah, he looked sort of like Howdy Doody, and his neck was kinda long -- he looked better in a turtleneck than in a sport shirt (but then, nearly everybody does).

Happy evening whatever, Moron's and 'ettes. It could be the twilight zone since I oddly slept most of the afternoon after taking a half dose of steroid for the killer cold. I could be up & finishing cleaning the house at 0200. My third trip with roids.

Our son is out of state and DIL posted a photo of my grands hanging out with kids of a "friend" she is polite with in their neighborhood. I don't like this person. She had 3 kids & is not married ON PURPOSE & now her psycho partner has left. I have visions of him coming to kill her & their kids with my grands as collateral. This is not the roids speaking. If present I make polite talk to her but I truly wish with all of my heart she'd move to another state.

The piano intro of Vanessa Carlton's is iconic.

....................................
That was my son, lady!

Lying! But that is exactly how girls were with him from 9th grade into college with his saxophone and looks.

I was mortified the first concert. Never expected this as a mother!

When he toured the country for a musical for 1yr of college, there were dancers over a decade older after him (he told me this, those skanks!). After a stop in FL he brought me on the bus to see his bunk, and they shot me looks and I shot green lasers right back at them. Dis is my boy!

Thankfully he was dating a redhead back in FL who years later I could have killed, but that's the only reason he was faithful and not riddled with disease.

He's married now in FL and they are expecting a secret baby that only grandparents know about! Very early on, so no solid news but a lot of prayers.

I was hatching #2 son when Huey was popular. I liked to dance in college, and on the rare chance I got in FL when we had a babysitter.

152 Rami Jaffee, keyboardist for The Wallflowers and Foo Fighters, was born today in 1969. In researching which track to link, I found that he was with The Wallflowers from 1990, the year before they even started recording their first album, whereas it took Foo Fighters a decade to promote him from studio and touring contributor in 2005 to a full member of the band in 2015. Also, his first member-credits album with the latter, Concrete And Gold, had Dave Grohl lying and whining about Trump like a gay-ass drama queen.

So, instead of one from the bigger band, here's one of those songs that I truly love, that I always stop and listen to, that takes to me back to endless days of summer and potential and feelings. And, Rami Jaffee's (probably) Hammond organ is integral to its distinctive sound:

209 Rolls-Royce's manufacturing capabilities in South Carolina will be enhanced by a $75 million investment aimed at expanding its engine manufacturing facility, which will create 60 new jobs and increase production of mtu Series 4000 engines. This expansion reflects a strategic shift towards energy and power systems, strengthening their U.S. industrial presence and ability to serve the growing demand in the American data center industry

Rolls-Royce will manufacture the F130 engines for the B-52 at its Indianapolis facility. This state-of-the-art facility is the largest production site for Rolls-Royce in the United States. The F130 engines will replace the aging Pratt & Whitney TF33 engines in the B-52J Stratofortress as part of the U.S. Air Force's modernization program.

Well, it’s because Trump didn't say that. In fact, he said to expect “more of the same” and that he was “leaving certain things,” like nuclear weapons - not that he was thinking about using them.

Tucker’s lying is getting out of control.

The criticism of socialisms is that when there is a shortage of bread, socialism decrees that all available bread must be cut into sufficient slices to distribute equally, even if that requires seizing the means of production to effect the equality

The criticism of capitalism is that when there is a shortage of bread, capitalism decides to raise the price of bread so the over demand can be moderated by pricing people out of the market, and this does not preclude production of bread to support the high market price

it would be wonderful if there was some system that responded to a bread shortage by figuring out how to make more bread.

That's step two of capitalism.

If the bread shortage is long term, the higher price means it's worth it to open a bakery, and some enterprising folks will do so.

If the bread shortage is short term, there's nothing to do since it's in the process of solving itself.

Now if only the government would get the f--k out of the way and let the new bakeries open without regulating and taxing them to death..... which I guess means we live under fascism and not capitalism.

On the back are the various cities and dates of the shows, including the 5/7/77 Boston Garden show. Two buddies and I drove down from college in SE VT in "Bertha", my 1966 International Travelall, to see that show... it was a long, strange trip indeed back to school that night. That show was the night before the legendary 5/8/77 Cornell show, which I'm sure you also have saved somewhere.

283 Went through the cafe videos late, and just finished with watching the tornado vid. I've been uncomfortably close to tornadoes a couple of times. I respect them. We just had one tearing up the city south of us, and more warnings in the area already this Spring.

Decades ago, I was driving home one day, out in the country, heading east, mostly clear and sunny day, with one big dark cloud a few miles ahead. I saw a white funnel form and start dropping. It was a long way off, small, up high, and probably petered out long before it touched down. I just took a quick left and headed away, anyway.

Storm chasers be the ca-raaziest people.

Little dust devils are fun. Our son at about age 10 once danced in one that was slowly traveling down our driveway. He was laughing like a maniac. Memorable.

284 I'm doing a few drinks tonight. Finished a 2 month long build/restoration of a 1956 harley panhead show bike. It fired right up, ran great, and its done. One of the hardest ones yet. Why? YANG POON!! There wasn't a lot of it, but every frigging yang poon part had to be tweaked, modified, massaged, yelled at, etc. SO much stuff was backordered from our normal suppliers. We had to search online, find dealers that may have the things we needed. It was unreal trying to find parts and then make the shit work if we found it. Yang poon shit is unbelievable, its like they have no clue what they are making or what it's for. None of this was china, its taiwan stuff. Better than china, but still yang poon. None in the motor or trans, not allowed, there are good USA companies for that. Its shit like gas tanks, or brake drums, brackets, linkages, or the little bits of stuff. Everything had to be fucked with. Came out beautiful though.

13 Evening, everybody,

Ace writes, "Buying $60 of cat toys: No reaction at all." Which is why I avoid buying new cat toys in the main. My furry thugs are just as happy with crinkly paper like Christmas wrapping, or with cardboard boxes. They have a basket of toys which were bought for their predecessors, and a few specifically for them. They love those items and often fish them out themselves for a play session.

By the way: Today is big black Stirling's fourth birthday! Or so I think. He was, the shelter told me, three months old on 6/11/22, so I went with 3/11 as his birthday. His "sister" Dagny is about two weeks younger. I have the date on her papers, but don't recall the exact date right now.

98 braenard,
he was working on a press in the factory, and he was alone, and he did not follow the lockout protocol while he was in the machine. Or, actually, under it. The power was not off but there was no electricity in the machine. However, this is a serious offense in this plant (which he knows) and he could lose his job. Doesn't look like that will happen, still praying not. Went before the safety committee etc. But they haven't decided or they haven't told him what they will do. One of those things you do and afterwards go, well, shouldn't have done that.

One of our senior employees was on a tour through production area (high speed presses) and had forgotten his safety goggles. "Oh, it's just a quick walk-thru" so he didn't go back to fetch a pair.

As (bad) luck would have it, a punch shattered and shrapnel pierced his eye. He lost the eye. Another fraction of inch, and that shrapnel would have entered his brain. Very serious. He "retired" after that, and gave us all a safety lecture once he had recovered a bit.

I believe he consulted on some projects later, as a contract rather than regular employee.

Likely worst case is he be given his official final warning.
(This may have happened before, and it's hard to get caught if you really are alone)

When you think you are alone is when you need to lock out the most. Because some dude could just show up and not know what you are doing. If just you and another guy sometimes they can be trusted to keep watch.

I think everybody who works a makes an error in judgement once in awhile. He wasn't in danger and he did not put anyone in danger, either. In some factories what he did would have been sufficient, but this plant is super into safety. They do fire people for breaking protocol.

I've made many errors in judgement. Probably one or two today.

As long as he wasn't putting himself or anyone else in danger I hope it's much ado about nothing for both of you. Sounds like your husband is a great employee and it sounds like he's already had his punishment.

123 When you think you are alone is when you need to lock out the most. Because some dude could just show up and not know what you are doing. If just you and another guy sometimes they can be trusted to keep watch.

Posted by: Teresa in Fort Worth, Texas, AoSHQ's Plucky Wee One - Eat the Cheesecake, Buy the Yarn. at March 11, 2026 09:33 PM (SRRAx)

148 Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) violations (29 CFR 1910.147) consistently rank in the top 5 of OSHA's annual list of most frequently cited safety standards, ranking #4 in 2025 with 2,177 violations. These violations are a critical focus due to dangers of unexpected startup during maintenance, etc.

Employers aren't trying to be evil in those cases but, as you can see, they're common OSHA violations, carrying very heavy penalties. (Violations are capable of causing terrible injuries - amputations, burns, being overcome by chemicals, gasses, etc. - depending.)

Presses are never limited to just one form of energy & the best operators can miss steps if not carefully adhering to sops.

A letter of disciplinary action and retraining - necessary for insurance and possibility as evidence of good safety and health practices being enforced - would be appropriate for the 1st (and last, hopefully) offense.

Again, good luck.

→ CM-302 missiles launched at US Navy - ZERO hits
→ Some malfunctioned mid-flight. Others intercepted by SM-3 and SM-6
→ 100% failure rate. Not a single US warship scratched.
💀 China's "world's best anti-ship missile" = couldn't hit a destroyer
💀 CM-302 has NO data link, NO satellite guidance, NO active terminal tracking
💀 Once launched it flies BLIND — and the US Navy knew it

To be fair, it was during the pipeline era up here, and there were a lot of oil kids here from Louisiana and Texas who had never experienced snow, let alone below zero temps. Girls at the bus stop wearing panty hose or something equally stupid. Pretty well cured that.

193 152. Yes, usually terrible injuries if not death. And then the attempts to sue employers for work-related injuries. Everyone suffers.

I had so many inspections related and those in chicken processing plants really stuck with me. A young man climbed onto a table to unjam an auger. His booted foot slipped and became trapped in the auger. Physicians had to come to help the freeing of the kid's foot which had to be amputated. (His family didn't speak English.)

A woman from the USDA was in the aisle of a processing room being cleaned. She slipped & her arm also went into an auger, one being washed. She, too, incurred an amputation...same hospital's physicians responding though plants were miles apart.

And when everyone hears Workers Comp vs a big lawsuit, it hits the fan.

195 I read a book about a tornado that wiped out a KS town in the 50s. One boy was taken up in the tornado but survived it. He was left with wooden splinters in his body, that would work their way out. He had one in his knee that the doctors couldn't remove. He was in his 20s when he heard it pop. It had finally gotten infected enough to work its way out. Interesting book. They did rebuild the town because the mayor wouldn't let it die

203 I had a boss at the print shop who told a horror story to new employees about the laminator. No idea if it's true.

"Never run the laminator alone. Never run it with your sleeves or hair down. If you must break one rule, never break both. We had a lady do that and we got back she was dead, with her scalp torn off."

I know one print shop horror story that is definitely true though. We used to run these K-M high speed B&W digital presses for large volume document printing. The ADUs on these motherfuckers would get to about half the temperature of the sun when they were at full tilt.

One day one jammed, nothing uncommon, but for reasons known only to G-d, this guy withdrew the assembly and, without letting it cool, he just opened the metal cover on the developer - with his bare hand. Former hand, anyway.

207 My dad was a corpsman in the late 50’s, he helped give new recruits battlefield medical training at Ft. Sam Houston. They would show some films with real footage and he and the other staff there would make bets on how many helmets would hit the ground (ie, how many recruits would pass out) at the scene where some poor guy with a stomach wound was rolled over and all his intestines came popping out right in front of the camera.

In Ukraine they have been doing a lot of back and forth with drone measures. Some jammers mounted on Russian vehicles have knocked out Ukr drones by burning out the electronics or jamming control signals. Russia responded in some spots with "wire guided" drones trailing a long fiber optic cable which could not be jammed.

I don't suppose it will be long before fighter drones are made to suppress other drones just like with regular aircraft.

Spotted in New York City on Wednesday, after fleeing Dubai, the 39-year-old actress - who recently appeared on the cover for Vogue Arabia - flashed a smile while making her way through a crowded NYC airport with her loved ones upon returning to the U.S.

Lohan was stylishly casual wearing a pair of black sweatpants as well as a burgundy leather jacket.

The Mean Girls star additionally sported a plain white shirt underneath and a patterned scarf was draped around her neck.

Her long locks were parted in the middle and flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.

You have never had real King Cake. No it does not have lemon or raspberry as a regular, that sounds disgusting. It’s plain, or there is a cream filling. That said, Rouses’s cherry one is fantastic, but that really is not traditional. It’s moist, it’s got crack sprinkled on top. You keep the King Cake knife in the box because you sliver it off a little at a time and then, oh my stars! The whole cake is gone! How did that happen!

136 Drones attacking IRGC now makes total sense based on my comment in the previous thread relating/comparing EPIC FURY to ALLIED FORCE.

Also the bomb blast captured on video looked similar enough to the test footage of the MOAB in the 'aughts that I figure that's what it was. It also looked substantially bigger than a 2,000-lb, although not knowing the distance puts a handicap on the estimation.

A MOP has more steel and less explosives, and the detonation goes off far enough below ground that the plumes would look significantly different.

From the interwebs:

King cakes originally contained a bean as part of an ancient Roman tradition tied to the winter festival of Saturnalia, which honored Saturn, the god of agriculture. During Saturnalia, a fava bean was hidden inside a cake, and whoever found it in their slice was crowned "king" or "queen" for the day, symbolizing a temporary reversal of social roles and a celebration of fertility and new beginnings

Understand the difference between "drones" and "drones."

The ones we're talking about shooting into Iran are big. They are cargo container big or car big. They are not something you will surreptitiously order on Amazon and modify in your living room. The "drones" a lot of people talk about with the Ukraine war are quadcopters with a grenade or RPG or artillery shell strapped to them. Those you CAN order from Amazon, but you'll need to procure the boom part separately. (And, if you don't do it right, it will just be a smoke grenade, a la the NYC idiots.)

The first sort can blow up an airfield or a small building (a large building if properly targeted) or more. The second kind might take out a single tank, maybe disable an airplane, or kill a bunch of people in a crowd.

FBI Warns That Iran Plots an "Army of Drones" Launched from a Stealth Vessel Against the West Coast

I suppose it's possible that Iran sneaked a drone-carrier out of the Persian Gulf in the weeks before the war, plotting a spoilsport retaliation attack. And I guess it would have taken that ship a couple of months to get into position.

Anyway, let's hope not.

Not sure why they'd attack anti-America California, but then they did attack their own allies in Qatar.

The FBI issued an urgent warning to cops across California of a potential Iranian drone strike on the Golden State.
Tehran was looking at deploying unmanned aircraft on the region as the country reels after the US wiped out its Supreme Leader last month, the alert said.
The Bureau said in early February agents had intelligence that drones could be sent from an unidentified vessel off the American coastline.

California has the highest concentration of Iranian dissidents in the US -- up to 500,000 -- but it is not clear if that was why the state could be targeted.
The FBI alert said: "We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran."
The alert was sent to police departments across the region, but it does not make it clear where specifically could be targeted. The FBI declined to comment when approached by The Post. Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images
It added: "We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack."
The alert was sent to police departments across the region, but it does not make it clear where specifically could be targeted. The FBI declined to comment when approached by The Post.

It is very plausible that the psychopathic murderers of the old regime would want to kill the Iranians who fled it, just out of spite and a sense of anger at the slaves who got away.

Indeed, Tehran's chief of police is warning people that he will murder them just for singing songs.

National police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan says that demonstrating against the regime now makes protesters enemies of the state. "If anyone comes forward in line with the wishes of the enemy, we will no longer see them as merely a protester; we will see them as an enemy," Radan said in remarks broadcast late Tuesday by state broadcaster IRIB.
"And we will do to them what we do to an enemy. We will deal with them in the same way we deal with enemies," he added.
The warning was explicit and obscene. "All our forces are also ready, with their fingers on the trigger, prepared to defend their revolution," said Radan.
...
Gangs of Basij enforcers, often heavily armed, roam the streets, threatening civilians and forcing them indoors. Anyone who looks like they might be thinking of protesting is threatened or beaten or worse. There are checkpoints across every city. Known protesters are scrutinized even as they move through the streets to get basic necessities.

Tousi reported two hopeful claims:

1, with the money now run out, and belief that the regime is effectively dead, a lot of lower level IRGC and Basij thug enforcers are just abandoning their posts and melting away.

2, the IRGC and the Satanic Mullahs are supposedly in some kind of dispute. Not a hot war, but a contest for authority. When the Gulf States announced they would take military action in retribution for Iran's unprovoked strikes on them, the mullahs put out a statement that they did not mean to hit the Gulf States, and would refrain from doing so in the future. But the IRGC contradicted them and said oh yes we meant to hit you and we'll keep on doing it, and forced the clerics of Satan to walk back their apology.

I'm still very confused about how we actually topple the regime with no ground forces, but maybe the various ethnic enclaves will rise up and at least declare their own areas to be autonomous.

There are reports we used the "Mother of All Bombs" for the first time, to blow up underground missile storage and production facilities, but I think this is all unconfirmed.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to help lower energy costs during the Iran war.

“We’ll do that, and then we’ll fill it up,” Trump said in an interview with Cincinnati broadcaster WKRC.

“I filled it up once, and I’ll fill it up again, but right now, we’ll reduce it a little bit, and that brings the prices down,” the president said.

Those big transformers near your house? The lead time for them is three years. Three years for something you can take out with a large caliber hunting rifle. Those giant high-voltage towers? A gas or electric concrete saw can have them down in minutes. We harden our nuke plants but our many and sprawling refineries are firestorms waiting to happen.

Wes Clark enthusiastically decided the threat of a ground invasion that no one talked about was what caused the capitulation, but that was mostly to bolster a notion that people wanted to "Draft" him to run for prez later on.

It's likely to become a series of bad days for the IRGC personnel soon.

You're right - a democracy won't spring forth. For a functioning western society, you have to have an undercurrent of Judeo-Christian faith with "love your neighbor as yourself", so you don't just have folks getting theirs while screwing everyone else.

Why is everyone a coward so far? The answer is - what's in it for them in this life. They've had 50 years of living under a Muslim fist.

Unless they are pulled off and stored somewhere, ... there has been talk of small or dirty nukes put in containers and stored around the country. They'd have to get by security, but there is question as to how easy it is to bypass or pay off security.

idk what capacity for shipping Iran has had, but they were shipping oil to China and other places, apparently. But I'm just pontificating. FBI seems to think the threat is real.

Yeah, I've seen some videos about how container ships work. It looks like they are just sitting on top of one another, but there's a locking mechanism that secures the containers to one another.

There are people on board whose job it is to check those mechanisms during transit to minimize losses (some do still fall overboard despite best efforts).

They have to wait on events because the regime cannot last without any money to pay its goons, and blowing up the camps and barracks will wear down morale.

If you beat a dog long enough it just gives up and takes whatever happens to it and tries to survive. The people of iran have been beaten for 47 years straight. It is literally all they know.

They are most certainly not going to change overnight. Expecting them to rise up and take over their country is a pipe dream. Sure it could happen but it probably won't happen. That is why the muslim fanatics killed the protestors who came out in public, they were the dangerous ones and they are almost all dead now.

170 Revolution is like a wildfire - certain conditions must be met. You can do color revolutions only because the Globalists infiltrated the government and neutered the security forces in advance. Brute force is off the menu.

That's not the case in Iran, and so it's a more gradual process, and the continuing targeting of key leaders is going to lead to a sense that the only way to survive is for THEM to rise up. That's why the targeting is going on.

It's like a plague, they keep dropping people. Where can you go? If you go into hiding, your unit is now leaderless.

That in turn allows a small rising to take hold, and then any units moving to crush it get nuked from orbit. But it takes time to set that up, and the Iranian people have already been bloodied. They're going to be more cautious now.

Little Khamenei, Who Is Probably Dead or In a Coma, May Inherit His Corrupt Father's $95 BILLION Business Empire

Gee I wonder why Iranians are so poor.

Mojtaba Khamenei will rule over the repressed Iranian population with an iron fist after replacing his slain father as the country's Supreme Leader.
The 'vengeful' cleric, 56, is backed by the hardline Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and is viewed as even more extreme and oppressive than his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

And reportedly 90% as dead.

Iran's new leader is said to want to 'seek revenge' against the US or even ordinary Iranians for the killing of his father and his wife.
Mojtaba, who has been wounded in the war, has not been seen in public since the outbreak of conflict and has been earmarked for assassination by Israel.
But as he asserts his power over his beleaguered nation he could benefit from his father's extraordinary business empire, worth an estimated $95billion, which he built up by systematically seizing thousands of properties belonging to ordinary Iranians.

Word is (from Tousi) that the regime is running out of money, so they're just now looting it from the population.

And despite being sanctioned by the US in 2019, Mojtaba is said to oversee an investment empire of over 100million pounds, with access to luxury properties in north London and bank accounts in the UK, Switzerland, UAE and Liechtenstein.
He is believed to own 11 properties on The Bishops Avenue - an exclusive street in Hampstead, north London, also known as 'Billionaires' Row' and two luxury apartments overlooking the Israeli embassy in London.
The sixth and seventh floor apartments near the Israeli embassy, which come with servants' quarters on the ground floor, are a stone's throw from Kensington Palace, the official residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
...
As for the funding of this substantial portfolio, Mojtaba is believed to have siphoned off profit from Iranian oil sales, before funnelling it through his opaque network to evade international sanctions aimed at curbing Tehran's military and political operations.

And lest you think that rapacious looting of public money is something only foreign tyrants do, look what Ayatollah Obama is up to.

The scandal-plagued Obama Presidential Center in Chicago already stirred up plenty of controversy. Now the money trail surrounding it raises even more uncomfortable questions about how former President Barack Obama's inner circle is cashing in while taxpayers get screwed over.

New federal tax filings reveal the staggering salaries flowing through the Obama Foundation as construction of the $850 million Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park nears completion. The foundation will operate the massive 19.3-acre campus, which sits on publicly owned Chicago parkland. The project includes a museum, an athletic center, and a public library branch. It will not operate as a traditional presidential library overseen by the National Archives.
The land it sits on is a big part of the scheme. The Obama Foundation secured a 99-year agreement with the city, under which the foundation pays just $10 per year to use the plot. That deal alone costs Chicago tens of millions of dollars in potential value while handing over prime public property to a private nonprofit run by a former president.
With such a sweet deal in place, the foundation has been able to pay its officers inflated salaries, the most eye‑popping of which is paid to Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama's closest political confidantes. Jarrett "earned" $740,000 in 2024 as CEO of the Obama Foundation. That salary easily outpaces the compensation paid to leaders at several other presidential foundations.

Six of the foundation's 10 highest-paid executives previously held senior roles in the Obama administration or campaign. David Simas, Obama's former White House political director, earned up to $626,000 annually while leading the foundation from 2017 through 2020. Adewale Adeyemo, another senior Obama official who later became deputy Treasury secretary under Joe Biden, earned about $540,000 as the foundation's first president.

Read the whole thing.

"Illinois Democrats are truly living their best lives -- making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to help design the ugliest building in Chicago," Illinois GOP Chairman Kathy Salvi said. Though, to be fair, it might be the ugliest building in the country. "Their jaw-dropping salaries prove that Illinois' culture of corruption is alive and well as Barack Obama's top allies rake in the cash."

Meanwhile, this third-world scumbag just got roasted by Jesse Jackson's son for making the Jackson funeral all about him and partisan Democrat politics.

Adam Carolla:

"He's like the quiet race hustler," Carolla said of Obama, who routinely made race-based matters worse both during and after his presidency.
Just ask his "son," Trayvon Martin.
"He's not big and blathering. He seems calculated, and also he speaks in a cadence where you go, 'this guy's got wisdom. This guy knows what he's talking about.' But all he does is race hustle, beat up this country and lie.
"He's the first black president. It could have gone so differently," Carolla continued. "He really could have been impactful, a man in his position ... he and his wife, who's worse than him, all they do is sit around and bad mouth this country and tell us how bad it is."

2) Elimination of Iran's ballistic missile launch, storage and manufacturing capabilities.

4) Elimination of the threat to commercial international shipping.

I doubt the IGRC has any plans for anything aside from dodging shells and bombs.

But the any destruction in Iran just hurts Iran and the new government until it is fixed up. Any shortfall in oil supply can be covered by increased production elsewhere and/or desanctioning Russian oil.

As he got older, as all of us do, his confirmation bias failed to recognize the things that didn't fit his schema and exaggerated the things that did.

He just didn't bother to acknowledge reality and was able to prosper as an educated ignoramus.

77 And despite being sanctioned by the US in 2019, Mojtaba is said to oversee an investment empire of over 100million pounds, with access to luxury properties in north London and bank accounts in the UK, Switzerland, UAE and Liechtenstein.
_______________________

I've been saying over the last few weeks that the EU is neck deep in Iran's ability to have continued to exist in their Theocratic Authoritarianistic state. And, now they are in a bit of a pickle. Do they support the US efforts in the hopes that the US shows leniency in their complicity and ignoring of sanctions (or support for protestors)....or do they hope against all hope that a conclusion can occur that doesn't include Iran's confidential documents and financial records becoming public knowledge. Because, I suspect their is a virtual army of MP's and bureaucrats receiving payments either directly or indirectly from Iran (which ties into the Islamiphication of the EU and the UK).

The oil well fires in Iraq were put out in something like 2 weeks back then. GE or some German company could probably drop in a few dozen gas plants within a month or two.

And yes, energy is fungible (imperfectly) although sanctioned countries to receive lower revenue and without Western tech they produce less over time. So sanctions actually have helped China a lot.

You're lookin' at it... the question is when it will end.

From the way the administration is talking, I think the answer is "a very long time."

149 Iran, like Venezuela (and on occasion Russia) has been in a crude/refined deficit for years. They can't keep up with domestic demand for refined products, so they have been exporting crude for refining elsewhere, then re-import.

157 It will be interesting - I imagine we will allow the Russian oil to find the market for awhile - one to make up for the Iranian oil, and two to hurt the Chinese to buy at market rates. Putin has some bigger decisions to make, and my guess is as the coming oil glut arrives, and hurts his ability to wage war as the price of oil drops, they will be big ones.
Posted by: Black JEM at March 11, 2026 05:25 PM (GZYu7)

Currently a lot of Russian oil is exported to third nations like India and then "resold" and shipped to embargo nations like the EU and even the US. The extra cost in these games will save some money by cutting out these middle men.

163 Another minor point I want to stress.

Venezuela and Iran would have been deal killers for the defense of Taiwan. If they started trouble in parallel, our carriers would have to go to the gulfs (persian and american) to protect shipping there instead of the Pacific.

China had a strategy of having enough worldwide allies that the US military would be spread too thin. Again, this is why I think Trump is being very strategic and focusing on China, by countering their plans.

164 From the production graphs, it looks like it took 3 years for Kuwait to recover to pre-war levels in the 90s.

But that was just wells blown up. If distribution points are destroyed, they require a lot of long-lead items like valves and pumps. All of it probably out of China. I guess that would be another battle with Chinese companies trying to control the economy from the inside using a belt and road strategy of owning the stuff they build.

The IRGC can run the country as a military dictatorship, but they can't do it legitimately without the supreme leader, only through force. If the IRGC suddenly develops factions there is no mechanism for resolution of those differences.
This is probably going to happen since the various regional arms have little coordination.

To the broad mass of Iranians, the mullahs were already illegitimate and their rule was by force, through the IRGC. That hasn't changed. It's good propaganda to kill these guys, of course, but austere religious scholars aren't particularly needed when the lead is flying.

Well, they did rise and were put down, so they are waiting to see how beaten up the enforcers are before trying it again.

I recently heard the claim that Kuwait was angling their wells to suck on Iraqi reserves, and Saddam had got or thought he got tacit OK to invade and stop the theft.

What you are missing is that there are always internal fissures within dictatorships. If power goes to the strongest, there is nothing binding subordinates. Think Roman Empire politics.

Having legitimacy curbs this tendency, but what you put a specific puppet in charge to be a puppet, then what matters is who pulls the strings and all bets are off.

CBS Report: Billions of Dollars of "Hospice Care" Fraud in Los Angeles Alone; One Building Sports Eighty-Nine Fake "Hospice Care" Offices

So, mutlibillion dollar network CBS has finally started investigating what sole-proprietor Nick Shirley uncovered months ago.

I guess it's something.

Hospice care, if you're fortunate enough not to know, is end-of-life care for the terminally ill. "Palliative care" -- just "making the patient comfortable."

And absolute demons have created hundreds -- thousands, likely -- of completely fake "hospice care" businesses and are fraudulently signing up perfectly healthy people for hundreds of thousands of dollars of "hospice care" per fake "patient" that is never delivered, only billed to the taxpayers.

CBS:

We visited "ground zero" for hospice fraud: Los Angeles, California
A CBS News analysis of records for every hospice operating in Los Angeles County finds indications of fraud are growing.
By Rachel Gold, Laura Geller, Adam Yamaguchi and Graham Kates

At age 69, Lynn Ianni is a pickleball whiz, zipping from dinks to drives energetically. When she suffered an injury on the court two years ago, she sought physical therapy, and was surprised to learn her Medicare insurance wouldn't cover it.
She was, according to Medicare records, dying and in hospice.
"They said, 'you're in hospice.' And I said, 'what? What are you talking about?" Ianni said. "'Are you kidding me? Do I look like I'm in hospice?'"
Ianni's Medicare number had been stolen, and used by a company to fraudulently enroll her in hospice -- specialized, compassionate care for terminal patients nearing the end of their lives. It was another example of fraud in the hospice industry, long a nationwide problem. But her case arose well after officials had promised to stamp it out in California, where the problem has been especially acute.
Ianni was initially approved for physical therapy treatments through Medicare. But later, her coverage was denied because she was listed as receiving hospice care, and the services were deemed not covered -- even though she was not, and has never been, in hospice. CBS News

Three years ago, California's state auditor sounded the alarm that Los Angeles County had seen a 1,500% increase in hospice companies since 2010 -- more than six times the national average relative to its elderly population.
Auditors estimated LA County hospices overbilled Medicare by $105 million in a single year. The report called out notable red flags -- key warning signs of fraud:
Multiple hospices in one building
Geographic clustering
Low patient counts
High rates of terminally ill patients later discharged alive
Excessive billing
Staff shared across multiple companies
The state says it proceeded to investigate and revoke the licenses of 280 hospices.
But since then, the problem has continued to fester. CBS News examined the business and financial records of every hospice currently operating in LA County, applying the same indicators identified by the state. Indications of fraud have not stopped. In fact, they've grown.
The CBS News analysis reveals that over 700 of the roughly 1,800 hospices in LA County, trigger multiple red flags for fraud as defined by the state.
California is confronting this problem as Gavin Newsom, its Democratic governor, eyes a potential presidential run. Fraud in public services has become a thorny political issue. Republicans and an army of social media influencers have seized on the issue as politically potent -- accusing Democratic state executives of failing to prevent costly schemes, most notably in Minnesota, where the Feeding our Future pandemic relief scam cost taxpayers hundreds of millions. Minnesota's Democratic governor, Tim Walz, announced in January that he would no longer seek reelection amid fallout from that scandal.
CBS News reached out to Governor Newsom's office. A spokesperson sent us a January 2026 statement, which reads in part, "Under Governor Newsom's administration, California has cracked down on hospice fraud, launched partnerships across state agencies, and the California Department of Justice has arrested criminals to hold them accountable."
Hospice fraud is a nationwide problem. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General reported in 2023 that suspected hospice fraud amounts totaled an estimated $198.1 million.

There are about 1,800 licensed hospices in Los Angeles County, California, which is more than six times the national average for the county's senior population.
A CBS News investigation found about 42% (742 companies) still operate despite having multiple signs the state has outlined as indicators of fraud.
Nearly 500 hospices are operating within a 3-mile radius, the densest concentration of agencies in the county.
There are 137 hospices operating along Van Nuys Boulevard alone. More than half of them show signs the state has outlined as indicators of fraud.
89 companies are registered to a single building in Van Nuys.
72 have multiple signs the state says could indicate fraud. It's the most extreme case of hospice clustering CBS found.

Read the whole thing.

CALIFORNIA HOSPICE FRAUD: There's a stretch in Los Angeles with 500 registered hospice companies within just three miles of each other. And 89 in a single building. But when we visited, we found empty offices, piled-up mail, and phone lines dead.

Dolley's grandmother was in hospice for 2 years.

She would have probably died after 6 months if Dolley's mother hadn't decided to spend her life sitting there in that nursing home every day, looking after her dementia ridden mother to make sure she clung to life for as long as possible. She probably did save the grandmother's life on a consistent basis.

103 This is similar to what happened in Minnesota when the Trump admin was establishing a pretext for sending in ICE. It's not about fraud. It's about creating unrest and provoking violence in US cities. This is fascism on the march.

Up until a few months ago, a CBS report would be taken seriously. Now it’s immediate doubt. That’s what happens when you light your credibility on fire.

It's believable fraud exists. What's suspicious is the timing and location of sudden, selective enforcement. Trump's looking for a reason to halt funding, then extract something in return. Extortion is the pattern.

The CBS News analysis reveals that over 700 of the roughly 1,800 hospices in LA County, trigger multiple red flags for fraud as defined by the state.

Not quite the "every hospice operating in Los Angeles County" claim that Bari Weis wants you to believe.

This is right-wing BS from CBS, the newly minted MAGA propaganda outlet. The state has been investigating it. Hundreds of licenses have already been revoked. The CBS report didn't mention any of that. Why? To make CA look corrupt, and to hurt Newsom.

HSR has two reasons to exist. If it actually gets completed (doubtful) then it's a transportation subsidy for Bay Area leftists so they can work in Frisco and then return home to their houses in the San Joaquin Valley, where real estate prices are 1/3 of prices in the Bay Area.

The other reason is that Sunk Cost thing, as a permanent supply of money for the CA Democrat Party, because there's no way in hell that it'll ever be completed. When they start trying to buy land for the tracks in the Bay Area, Frisco Donks will get their lawyers on the case to permanently block any construction.

196 What happened to make fraud explode is very, very simple.

Democrats wanted to shove illegals into these programs en masse, while lying about them being in the programs.

So they systematically removed any verification that would detect illegals in the programs.

So of course fraud has exploded.

229 Traveling by rail in a country as large as the US is a really stupid idea and we should leave it to the Europeans.

We can keep the "cool" Amtrak routes that take passengers on what are essentially leisure trips for sightseeing. The rest of it can go screw. It's a dumb use of land and rights-of-way.

Especially Acela. The Acela trains should be shunted into the nearest body of water just purely out of principle for the type of people that regularly ride them.

234 There already are existing rail lines. But you can't run High Speed trains on the same tracks due to the speed differential.

That, and High Speed trains can't go up some of the grades, like across the Grapevine or over Tehachapi pass.

261 Pennsylvania has a high concentration of small home healthcare agencies in local neighborhoods and strip malls due to a rapidly aging population, high demand for personalized, in-home care over institutional nursing homes, and Medicaid-funded programs (like CHC or OBRA waivers) that allow families to be paid for caregiving. These agencies thrive by offering convenient, accessible, and lower-cost alternatives to hospital care.

Pennsylvania has one of the largest elderly populations in the country, with over 468,000 residents receiving home care annually.
Many agencies specialize in managing Medicaid waivers that pay family members to act as caregivers, creating a massive, localized industry. (For fraud)
There is a strong preference for localized, "neighborhood" care. Small, local offices allow agencies to build trust within specific communities. 🙄
Small agencies require minimal, flexible office space, often found in affordable strip malls or storefronts, allowing them to be conveniently located near the clients they serve. (Employees come from where?!)
Home-based care is a massive, $25.6+ billion PA industry, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs. (Of course.)

And the WW1 stuff was really good, all the trench warfare.

Humor Break

You might have seen the amazing video of Iran welcoming its new Supreme Leader.

The actual Supreme Leader was not present. (Tousi TV says there are legitimate reports that he was hit during the early rounds of bombing and lost his leg and is currently in a coma.)

So to welcome the totally-alive New Supreme Leader, they brought out -- and this is not a joke, this happened -- a cardboard cut-out of a human silhouette with a photograph of the totally-alive Mojtada Khamenei's head on top of it.

In fairness: Iran was not the first country to do this.

Tousi noted that he could have sent along a video message or "appeared" via Skype. But he didn't. They just literally put a cheap standee at the front of the room and said "Bow to your new Supreme Leader, the Amazon box our new Yoga mat came in with a xerox glued to it."

And they did!

Weisenheimers are having fun with Iran's new Iron Man. Or, I should say, corrugated cardboard man.

44 >>>I thought the entire point of CPAC was to have it across the river from DC so all of the movers and shakers can pretend to give a shit about the grassroots and so that the young conservatives can get together and gratuitously have sex with one another, and have it be convenient to Sodom-on-the-Potomac.

right. So I don't know why they moved it. It's possible they just want to signal that DC is not the real capital of America any longer. I've also heard that attendance is down and they're looking for cheaper accommodations.

though, CPAC, and just about every other conservative event, was held in DC in February, which is the cheapest time to book a hotel in DC, of course. I remember one year when an event was held at Denver, in December.

I think Texas in march is a big upgrade over February in DC.

Low key is exactly the way to play it. Once the guy is convicted, then Erika has clear warnings to Candace to stop implying she caused Charlie to die. Beyond a reasonable doubt proof is beyond clear and convincing standard for libel and slander cases.

Candace will have to grovel and publish a retraction after that or risk being Alex Jonesed by a civil jury in Arizona.

I think there are penalty assets on the ground helping with HUMIT and targeting. But almost every ethnic group has militias that CiNC has asked to stay out of the fight. That’s mostly because they believe it will devolve into a civil war between those groups. Apparently they are trying to get them to organize into some kind of multi ethnic entity than will support a new government which considers all factions. It’s gonna be interesting.

Fido would go out with the first group of the morning, and knew how to not get in front of the golfers. Once he had access, he'd chase the geese away from their nests.

After a few days of being annoyed, the geese would move out.

218 184 I'm a killer paper airplane maker. My grands make me do it all the time. The standard half, half, half, make wings airplane can be made way more flightworthy by folding the tip back in about an inch. Scotch tape it together. Some of the planes around here are years old and still fly. It's the only thing we let the grands throw around in the house.. and by we I mean grandma. I, all to often break that rule.
Posted by: Reforger at March 11, 2026 03:07 PM (rpbjO)

Cool! We did the half/half/half too, then our Dad showed us how to fold the first half top to bottom... then you get the small, square plane that will do loops before flying straight....

One of the fake coyotes got damaged by a storm and the face of it fell off. So they printed, from like a laser printer, the face of a black and white coyote and stapled it onto the decoy.

CNN's DEI Deer-in-the-Headlights Dim Bulb Abby Philip: Some People Threw a Bomb at the Muslim Mayor of New York City

Antifa's credo -- and thus now the Antifa Media's credo -- is "DARVO." Every time they beat the shit out of someone in the street, they engage in DARVO: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.

We saw this with Kyle Rittenhouse. We saw this with the Covington Kids.

And since the weekend, we have seen Antifa Media story after Antifa Media story have strongly, strongly implied that it was the "anti-Islam protesters" who threw the IEDs at the Muslim mayor.

Muslim terrorists threw a nail bomb at anti-Islam protestors outside the mayor's office. It failed to detonate.

If you just read this article and saw this picture you would think white racists had tried to kill the mayor. pic.twitter.com/ZULVGh8nWy
— Josh (@XJosh) March 8, 2026

DARVO. Always DARVO. Protected leftwing criminals and terrorists must always be portrayed as the victims, even when they're throwing literal IED shrapnel bombs at actually-peaceful protesters. ("Provocateurs" who for some reason think that Muslims are violent and have such a purchase on the Democrat Party and their Antifa Media that they're able to "Islamify" the country. What nonsense, huh?)

CNN's DEI Dumb Not-Blonde Abby Phillip straight up offered the "news" that the terrorists were trying to harm the Muslim mayor.

And she was still peddling this Islamicization Lie even on Tuesday night.

CNN's Abby Phillip claims that the attempted NYC bombing was "an attempted terror attack against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani."

The suspects were two Muslim terrorists who pledged allegiance to ISIS and were targeting anti-Islam protesters. pic.twitter.com/xtGIirLPb3
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) March 11, 2026

It took less than 12 hours for CNN to dive back into the propaganda toolbox to invert the truth in the most brazen way possible, confident that it could do so because its viewers trust it to be the truth-teller. And given how many Pravda outlets have been intentionally vague about what happened and who was responsible, they have every right to be confident.

To add my personal testimony: All through the weekend, when I saw headlines about this story but did not read articles -- I try to disconnect on the weekend -- I in fact believed that this was an "anti-Muslim" attack on the mayor.

Because that's what literally every Antifa Media outlet told me it was.

When I first found out the attack was committed by Muslims, I wondered: Why were the Muslims attacking the Muslim mayor? Was it an attempt at a false flag attack?

It didn't even occur to me that for 72 hours the Antifa Media was straight-up gaslighting the world about who the terrorists were and who the intended victims. For a day and a half I thought, "Oh, I guess I must have read the headlines wrong."

I didn't read them wrong. I took from them precisely what the writers at Antifa Media outlets intended me to take. I only "read them wrong" in the sense that I read them at all.

Now DEI Dum-Dum said it was just an "error."

Whoops!

Whoopsie!

@abbydphillip
I want to correct something I said last night.

@abbydphillip
I want to correct something I said last night. The bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti-Muslim protestors and not specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani. That wording was inaccurate and I didn't catch it ahead of time. I apologize for the error.

"Fuck you, San Diego!", she added.

Isn't it part of slander/libel caselaw that the retraction has to take place in the same kind of venue? Like, if it's said on TV, it has to be retracted on TV?

Or am I inventing caselaw like a district court judge.

Note that even in the correction they have to "name" the victim so the takeaway is that they were antagonizers who deserved it. Which is what the media believes. And not for being "anti muslim", but just for disagreeing with them on anything.

33 It took less than 12 hours for CNN to dive back into the propaganda toolbox to invert the truth in the most brazen way possible, confident that it could do so because its viewers trust it to be the truth-teller. And given how many Pravda outlets have been intentionally vague about what happened and who was responsible, they have every right to be confident.

Their hundreds of viewers are being misled.

"Bombs"? Yes, there was more than one. Two, actually.

The uglier and more creepy of the two smellies threw one -- the bomb in the iconic pic over the head of the eternally stupid white guy -- and then was handed a second bomb by the less ugly and creepy smellie. He then ran away and dropped the bomb.

It's insane that some people seem to think these two smellies didn't know each other or plan this together.

115 A preliminary military investigation has determined that the United States was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian elementary school that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Donald Trump had previously blamed the Iranian regime for bombing a school filled with young girls on February 28 during the first day of 'Operation Epic Fury.'

The ongoing investigation determined that US forces made the mistake while launching strikes on a nearby Iranian military base, which the school building was once part of.

Officers at US Central Command decided to strike the school using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, one of the premier US intelligence agencies.

I was watching a couple of squirrels doing the old grab and tickle this morning. One of them (presumably the female) ran up a tall tree, was chased by the other (presumably the male) and was then knocked out of the tree to fall about 40' to the ground. She picked herself up, and just walked away as if nothing happened.

Why do I bring this up? Beats me, but I hope I never have that experience.

I mean, Couric and other partisans drooling over him is...it makes sense. They're undersexed and use politics as their religion, but it's like making current day Kamala into a sex symbol.

Food has been great, weather fantastic, the beach where I'm sitting is ten feet from my patio. The surf has been impressive, both in size and consistency. Constant surfers. So, in sum, Cali after one day, gets two thumbs up. 6 more days to go.

The middle bit goes:

A captain sitting near me said "Soldier - how long has it been since you had a hot meal?" I had to start counting on my fingers, & Debbie did the same. We conferred & I said "I think about 7 weeks. They cooked one hot meal for the PWs, but then the numbers overwhelmed us & they had to switch to T-rats & MREs. But the T-rats are for the PWs - we've just been living on MREs."

It is common practice, at least in the Navy. You save your budget to the end of the fiscal year, in case you have an emergency you HAVE to spend it on... you literally put off buying new chairs, or new desks you need, because you might need to spend it on something more important...

So at the end of the fiscal year, you have X amount of money, so you BUY those desks and chairs...

That spending does not mean you didn't need it... it was because you saved it in case of emergency.

336 You have to understand the point of this stuff isn't just lying or protecting their own or weaponizing stories. All of that is there but principally the media's job is to amplify emotions they want amplified to stories that "favor" them, and dampen or remove ones that don't.

So if a terror attack gets reported in earnest, people will no doubt feel fear and hate toward the teorrists. But if they do this shit, by the time a few days passes and they issue their "correction", the conversation becomes an argument over their reporting and any furor or potential furor is gone because it's been a few days.

They do this with everything unfavorable to them, like tranny shootings etc. Once you see it you can't unsee it.

When I commented earlier, I was at home. We get a heads-up warning on our phones if there's the slightest chance that our area is affected.

In most cases, there is a 2-5 minute gap between warning and actual siren.

The siren went off a few minutes after I commented. We were sheltered until the all-clear messages came in, so for about 10 minutes, which is the usual.

Unlike my commenting from the shelter through the war after Oct. 2023, this new computer of mine has lousier Wifi and does not pic up our neighbor's networks outside of the shelter.

Anyway, back home since then, finishing dinner.

345 300 I've read it's common practice, a way to spend the last of a time period's budget so that the Pentagon's budget doesn't go down the following term (government accounting).
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at March 11, 2026 02:08 PM (GBKbO)

It is common practice, at least in the Navy. You save your budget to the end of the fiscal year, in case you have an emergency you HAVE to spend it on... you literally put off buying new chairs, or new desks you need, because you might need to spend it on something more important...

So at the end of the fiscal year, you have X amount of money, so you BUY those desks and chairs...

That spending does not mean you didn't need it... it was because you saved it in case of emergency.

It was like 8 am. We put it in the crotch of a roadside tree and went on up the mountain. By the time we made it back past that Badger it had been shot 3-4 times by other hunters.

Well... the first few weeks of a patrol we ate fucking great. Literally anything you wanted, it was available.

Then, of course, around 2 months underwater, things got a little, ummm, less gourmet, I guess...

By the time we got back to the Tender, food was not even something we thought about, it was just about stopping the hunger pangs... Corned beef hash was available the whole patrol, and I was so thankful for that!

In math there are multiple levels of "great"... I was always really good at math, even through graduate school taking high level courses in the math department while working on my PhD. However... at that level, the professors teaching the courses could easily make us students look like total idiots (e.g. prove that pi is irrational... so easy to say, so hard to do). And then there are the Kurt Godel's and Andrew Wiles' of the world who do theorem proofs that maybe only 5 people on the entire planet are capable of reading and understanding... I'm on the very bottom tier even though I know more math than probably 99% of the general population....

The only correct way to pronounce "Nicaragua" is how Beavis did it.

402 One of the things I hate most about myself is I'm no good at math/STEM. Especially awful at Math. I never even made it through Trig.

And it f***ing sucks because it makes it harder to prove I'm not "black stereotype" (even with being half-white).

I think you worry too much about that. I'm white AF and have serious math phobia. Arithmetic and such came easy - I can still do decently quick arithmetic in my head - but I went all to shit around pre-algebra because I hadn't learned how to learn. Then it got worse because I was increasingly not allowed to learn. Rather, I had to perform immediately or face firestorms of derision, ranting, rage, and sometimes even physical violence. Sometimes shit just sucks. Doesn't mean you're less of a human being.

403 Hypercorrecting exonyms is hilarious. Dead on accurate litmus test for a pompous ass it's safe to ignore, or maybe just fuck with a little for funsies.

Most of the physical violence I faced from my father was related to how I did in school, yeah.

405 Reply to off-thread topic a couple threads back...

I was watching a couple of squirrels doing the old grab and tickle this morning. One of them (presumably the female) ran up a tall tree, was chased by the other (presumably the male) and was then knocked out of the tree to fall about 40' to the ground. She picked herself up, and just walked away as if nothing happened.

Why do I bring this up? Beats me, but I hope I never have that experience.

That was two males. The stronger throws the weaker out of the tree to disable him and keep him from the female.

Surface to volume difference means air resistance reduces any fall by a small squirrel to something very survivable. Same thing for your average cat, if a little less so.

406 Do you fuck around with a boarding action and then float around with your thumbs up your asses wondering what to do next and wasting men guarding prisoners?

Or do you hump the bitch twenty feet in the air and break its fucking spine on a complimentary cushion of Freedom courtesy of a 5 million dollar Mk 48 Mod 7 Fuck You Tube, so that no one ever dares park their little bullshit boat anywhere near Your Water ever again, thus obviating the need for any further conflict?

407 @RadioFreeTom
The people cheering the submarine attack on the IRIS Dena seem to forget that the U.S. Navy has surface vessels that could have captured the ship, and held the crew (or allowed them to defect).

F*ck off, pansy fag.

When it comes to winning, LEAVE. NO. DOUBT.

You act like islhamic terrorsts can be 'reformed,' you f*cking retard.

No, we have surface ships that could have destroyed the vessel with more risk and expense.

408 You'll bitch about a couple fucking ribeyes, but hey lets spend the budget of a small solar system on an attack submarine and never, ever use it for anything ever because Tom Nichols is a fucking retard.
