White House Spokesman Steven Cheung Blasts Rancid Racist Stephen Colbert as a No-Talent Loser Who Brings Shame to His Racist Ancestors

I can't believe this racist launched a psyop to deny a nomination to the supremely-qualified Strong and Proud Black Woman Jasmine Ratchet.

I think we're all still grieving.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung launched a blistering attack Thursday on late-night host Stephen Colbert, unloading in a social media post that branded the comedian "a sad and pathetic excuse for a human being" while accusing him of driving one of television's most recognizable franchises into the ground.

Not really an accusation. That was the headline in the latest Nielsen book.

The remarks, posted to the platform X, came as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert heads toward its final run on CBS. Cheung mocked what he described as a media effort to frame Colbert's exit as a heartfelt farewell tour, dismissing the coverage and taking direct aim at the host himself. "He's a sad and pathetic excuse for a human being," Cheung wrote, adding that Colbert "killed the legacy of The Late Show."

So what is the little-watched TV clown, last seen propping up a mediocre white man so that he could steal a nomination from a Strong Black Woman, doing with his few remaining weeks?

Well, he's having on a series of guests who spend most of their time gassing Colbert up and assuring him that he's super-funny and super-needed in Current Year.

It's turned into such a solipsistic circle-jerk that even Solipsistic Circle-Jerk Daily, also known as Variety, is blasting Colbert for his cloying self-regard.

Quoted at Instapundit by Ed Driscoll:

Colbert's removal from the air, when it was announced last July, was legitimately seismic news, for the industry and for an audience who saw him as a crucial voice for the anti-Trump Resistance since the 2016 election. The timing of the news, though, meant that Colbert had an entire final season to play out with all parties, from writers and producers to host to guests, knowing that the end was in sight. (This differentiates it from the brief period when "Tonight Show" host Conan O'Brien's job was in limbo during the O'Brien-Jay Leno succession crisis -- then, the precariousness and uncertainty of the situation gave the show incredible tension and voltage.)
What has ended up making it to air has been an increasingly puffy tribute to the show's own host. The endless bouquets being tossed Colbert's way have started to make the studio smell a bit cloying.
Granted, these are Colbert's guests having an emotional response to a host they liked being removed from air, and in what seems to be an unfair way, to prove new Paramount CEO David Ellison's Trumpist bona fides amidst the Skydance-Paramount merger. It reminds one of how many other institutions are caving right now -- universities, law firms, to say nothing of corporations across the entertainment industry. But the show's focus on its own host's misfortune has become outsized and a bit dramatic, especially because so many other institutions are in crisis: With everything else going on in the world, we have to go through a monthslong celebration-of-life for a comedian whose job is coming to an end?

Stephen Colbert is a sad and pathetic excuse for a human being. He's kicking and screaming like a baby because he's an entitled prick who has lost touch with reality. The fact is that he will soon be forgotten because nobody likes a loser who killed the legacy of The Late Show. https://t.co/uRcFgodmqA

As we celebrate the firing of Colbert and Kimmel, we must always remember, it doesn't matter, because no one is watching anyway.

Late night's 11:35 p.m. ratings race delivered another split decision the week of March 1, with CBS' The Late Show with Stephen Colbert topping the hour in total viewers, while ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! led among younger viewers.

This is misleading: Gutfeld topped them both by +50%.

But he's not specifically on at 11:35 -- a time they're insisting is the only real "late night show" starting time to fence out the competition that beats them every single night.

According to Nielsen Live+3 ratings data, The Late Show averaged 2.43 million total viewers for the week (+1 percent), enough to lead the broadcast field. Jimmy Kimmel Live! finished second with 2.28 million viewers (+5 percent) but led the hour among adults 18--49, drawing 263,000 viewers (+17 percent) to Colbert's 219,000 (+5 percent).

2.43 million in a nation of 350 million, huh?

And how about those in-the-demo numbers -- 219,000.

Wow.

NBC's Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon also saw growth last week, averaging 1.35 million total viewers (+10 percent) and 191,000 adults 18--49 (+29 percent) across four original episodes and one repeat.

And they're only seeing "growth," if you can call it that, because deranged lefties for whom network propaganda TV is their church and pulpit are tuning in to hear how terribly the Iran war is going.

On cable, Fox News' Gutfeld! again drew the largest overall audience among the shows we track, averaging 3.73 million total viewers (+10 percent) and 315,000 adults 18--49 (+38 percent) across four new episodes. The show was preempted Monday night by Fox News' Iran war coverage but benefited from the broader surge in cable news viewership tied to the conflict.

Weird that this outfit claims that Gutfeld benefited from the Iran war, but pretends the lefty propagandists did not.

Amidst all this #Winning, I have some sad news to add:

Buzzfeed is broke and there is "substantial doubt" it can remain in business.

Buzzfeed, the digital media company that took the mid-2010s by storm, said on Thursday it has "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue as a business.
In an earnings report released Thursday, Buzzfeed said it has engaged in "strategic conversations" about relieving its liquidity issues.
...
The company was $165 million in debt three years ago; that's been slashed by more than 65%, Buzzfeed said. But Matt Omer, Buzzfeed's chief financial officer, said the company is still burdened by legacy commitments. Alongside its namesake, Buzzfeed also owns news site Huffpost and online food network Tasty.

"Burdened" by HuffPo, huh?

...
In 2025, Buzzfeed had a net loss of $57.3 million, according to its earning report. The company noted it did not have enough resources to fund its cash obligations for the next year.

For those of you who are visual learners: If you imagine a pie graph, Buzzfeed lost $57.3 million of pie. Also, the pie was made of ratshit and hobo jizz.

BTW, that story is from CNN. Another company for which there is substantial doubt about its ability to remain in business. Also made of ratshit and hobo jizz.

22 Colbert is trying to mimic Johnny Carson's long goodbye, which was indeed a big deal and had huge big names appear on his show because he had been The King of Late Night for decades.

Not only that, he had promoted countless musicians and (especially) comedians to fame and fortune. Getting a spot on The Tonight Show *made* celebrities.

Who has Colbert *made*? What celebrity can thank him for massive boosts in visibility? I mean, other than the pedo-presenting fake Christian running in Texas.

28 Off topic question for our smart military analyst Morons:

IF we know where Iran's nuclear material is located, AND it is located in a remote area, then I (non-expert) do NOT see a problem with U.S. boots on the ground to remove it.

With complete air supremacy, couldn't we bring in paratroopers and air-dropped tanks, or even land C-5s, and then advance to the nuclear facilities under the umbrella of continuous air coverage?

37 well I figured out why the US version of the IT Crowd was so god awful:

- DEI goofy boss character, who was wooden and lame and completely not funny
- boring as FUCK Jen character! she was THE SHOW! she was amazing! ruined the show just with that casting sheesh. if you're bringing Richard in to play Moss why not bring in Jen?
- Joel was lost
- Irish accents are just funnier, Joel
- but mostly - why have Richard play Moss? it was just sad watching him re-do scenes from an actually funny show. if it HAD gotten picked up, it would have been sadder still. they should have made it a sequel set in the US, or not had him suffering on that set, recast him. Maybe with a Chinese lesbian, that should work!

These numbers make no sense at all. Adults 18 - 49 should be at least half of the viewing audience, not less than 12% of the audience...

Because this airs at 11:30 at night... when kids are supposed to be in bed (thus no youth audience)... so they are saying 88% of the audience is folks older than 50 years old? not buyin it at all.

This is true. It was an artifact of the FCC's broadcast standards that limited what could be shown during Family Hours. Late night allowed looser conversation, though Standards and Practices still got heartburn from time to time.

A huge part of the humor was the attempt to circumvent those rules. Just blurting obscenity is middle school humor, which is why the left loves it so much.

Retirement is no longer a thing. Celebrities never retire. They can't just withdraw from the glare of publicity and chill out. Maybe show up for an event or something, but generally let younger folks do their thing, get their chance.

You want to leave when you're still hot, not sputter out to the point that no really cares because they've gotten bored of you.

Socialist Cuba Has Finally Run Out of Other People's Money and Is Looking for a Deal with Trump

Cuba had been receiving free oil from Venezuela. Well, not free -- Cuba supplied Venezuela with top intelligence agents and torturers in exchange for the oil.

But then Trump, probably on Bibi Netanyahu's orders because, obviously, sent Delta Force in to shoot L.O.O.K.E.R. guns at Cuba's security forces and abduct Nicolas Maduro.

The oil shipments stopped.

Trump also began raiding and seizing the "dark fleet" of illegal oil tankers moving sanctioned Iranian and Russian oil to low-class shithole barbarian states.

Cuba is now out of oil and would like to speak with America's manager.

The Cuban "president," Miguel Díaz-Canel, made yet another rare appearance on state TV and confirmed that the regime is currently in talks with the United States. He said, "There are international factors that have facilitated these talks," and said the goal is "first and foremost, to identify the bilateral problems that need a solution."
After weeks of denying any sort of U.S. negotiations, this is the first time he's admitted they're happening. He called it a "very sensitive process that is being approached with responsibility and great sensitivity."

...
Díaz-Canel also admitted that the country has not received any oil in three months and is almost out of reserves.
What's interesting is that Raúl Castro's grandson, Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, aka El Cangrejo or "The Crab," was at Díaz-Canel's side during the announcement. He and Marco Rubio have allegedly been having backchannel talks in recent weeks, and Rubio's team even supposedly met with the young Castro when Rubio was in the Caribbean in late February.
Of course, Donald Trump has been floating the idea of a "friendly takeover" of Cuba for weeks and has said that Rubio is currently working on that.
However, right now, this unusual announcement feels more like appeasement than any sort of concession. The regime is backed into a corner, and it doesn't really have a leg to stand on at the moment. It's nervous, shaky, and sees the writing on the wall.
Either way, its days are numbered. These are the same types of actions made by all of the crumbling regimes of the past.

Cuba claims it will definitely not be making any concessions about letting the people actually vote for their leaders.

We'll see about that.

The Cuban regime would be wise to learn the lesson of the recent Witkoff-Aragchi negotiations. If you try and jerk President Trump around, rather than make serious proposals to accommodate American demands, you will wake up at 4am one morning to Delta Force at your door https://t.co/Wq1LjZugns
— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) March 13, 2026

Trump doesn't even need to send in Delta Force. The coming Fuel Riots should provide Cuba's leaders with a certain amount of realism about their situation.

And when they start killing protester -- drones and missiles should help even the odds.

David Strom offers big praise for Trump's very firm, very steady, and very focused leadership of the world, whether it wants to be lead or not.

For decades, our elites have been obsessed with regime change by color revolution, trying to create a world where everybody owns nothing and is unhappy. Western governments have surrendered to soft communism and self-destruction.
Donald Trump is remaking the world, not through color revolutions, but bold leadership and the surgical application of force and maximum pressure on our adversaries.
During his first term, I strongly believed that Trump's foreign policy was his best achievement. He had yet to learn how to defang the Deep State, and despite listening too often to establishment figures, he did a great job with what he had.
Now, with the Rubio, Hegseth, and negotiating teams he has deployed, he is masterful.

He notes that Germany is having a long-overdue attitude adjustment as well. Germany's Merz and the Female Super-Villain Leader of the EU now admit that ending all nuclear power generation was a bit of an oopsie!, but Merz also says he won't do anything to reverse this mistake. I saw someone point out that he could undo it, but he's in partnership with leftwing groups to keep AfD out of power, and if he moved to save German's future, his government would collapse and AfD would (rightfully) take power.

Georg Pazderski
@Georg_Pazderski
Translated from German
MERZ sells citizens for stupid❗️
Because previous governments had decided on the nuclear phase-out, it could no longer be reversed.
When it came to the debt brake, he couldn't care less what the previous governments had decided.
PLAIN TALK: He's too cowardly to take on the fight with the SPD.

Via Ed Morrissey, quoting Politico 4 Kidz Axios, Trump informed the feckless cunts of the G7 that Iran is about to surrender and also you're welcome, faggots.

President Trump told G7 leaders in a virtual meeting Wednesday that Iran is "about to surrender," according to three officials from G7 countries briefed on the contents of the call.
24 hours later, Iran's new supreme leader issued his first public statement vowing to keep fighting. ...

That's egregious propaganda. There is no proof the "leader" issued a statement -- a written statement was read by someone else by a regime propagandist. There is no evidence the Supine Leader released anything besides pus, and Axios knows this. There are confirmed reports that he is in a coma. (And is "likely disfigured," added Pete Hegseth.)

But Axios pretends it knows better and uses its own authority to claim the Supine Leader "issued a statement."

Behind the scenes: Trump boasted about the results of Operation Epic Fury on the G7 call Wednesday morning, telling allies, "I got rid of a cancer that was threatening us all."
While claiming Iran was about to surrender, he also suggested there were no officials left alive in Tehran with the power to make that decision.

Of course, as the Islamic Republic of Iran falls, the Islamic Republic of Britain rises to take its place.

The Conservative Woman:

IN A recent speech given in the House of Lords to the Cambridge University Conservative Association, Dr Gavin Ashenden, for ten years a chaplain to the Queen, spoke of a 'respected' imam with whom he had worked 'for quite a long time' while running inter-faith seminars at the university where he was employed.
At the conclusion of one of these events, Dr Ashenden relates, this man confided in him as follows: 'I've been doing this for an awfully long time, but my task is complete. I arrived in the 1970s with the aim of inaugurating an Islamic republic of Great Britain, and I've done it. This country is going to be an Islamic republic or, at least, a partitioned portion of it, in the time of my grandchildren.'
In fact, he continued, things were going so well that it could happen even within the lifetime of his children.
Dr Ashenden records this incident as occurring 'long before Angela Merkel opened the border to the millions' in 2015. Most of the under-16s who, according to the imam, comprised the majority of the Muslims in Britain a dozen or more years ago, have now gained access to the polling booths, allowing a combination of demography and a democratic system designed to cater for a non-sectarian population to 'achieve what agitation would take longer to do'.

I find it fascinating that supposed "American Firsters" like Tucker Carlson have completely stopped questioning our alliance with the Islamic states of Europe -- who we have explicitly promised to use nuclear weapons to defend, which of course makes us targets of a nuclear attack.

There's only one, ONE, actual ally they're fighting to break ties with and declare enemy. And it just so happens to be the one ally with the capability of, and desire to, fight the Islamic conquerors that are keeping Tucker Carlson in luxurious bowties.

As with Puerto Rico, I really don't want Cuba to be a state. The advantages of diversity, including other languages and cultures, appear to have been somewhat oversold. And when I say somewhat, I mean completely.

"Trump doing foreign policy at all is a betrayal of MAGA. When I listened to Joe Rogan, he said that Trump intended to make America a utopia on domestic matters, in ways that made everyone happy and never resist or complain. Since that hasn't happened, him spending one minute of his time even thinking about Cuba is a betrayal of MAGA. We don't even have a secure border. There are no deportations. There is no effort to clean up elections. All because Trump is spending all of his time making war with peace loving countries like Iran. I'm voting for Newsom because he has white kids."

There is going to be a huge pressure by the Cubans who fled since the 1950's to be given back their seized lands and whatever assets to be had, and from corporations suing for nationalized assets and unpaid contracts.
Rubio, well Trump really, is going to have to walk that line. From Venezuela and from what Putin did to stop the looting in the Russian Federation, I suspect it is going to be a game something like "you expats can have it back if you pay for it to the US that puts the money into a state account in Qatar that can only be touched for infrastructure rehabs.

115 Odds of getting struck by lightning? 1 in 1.6 million each year. You are 25x more likely to get struck by lighting than pushed in the NYC subway.

With that many people being struck by lightning in the NYC subway one would think it would be a bigger story.

Regardless... stay out of the NYC subway.

That was just the scam patter of a confidence scheme. If a scruffy guy came up to you in a grocery store parking lot and started on a tale rhythmically told, you would probably know better than to listen and analyze the specific fallacies, and he'd probably only be looking to scam you out of the folding bills in your wallet.

They come at you standing at the front of a college classroom and you'll hear them out, even though it's a whole-of society grift to steal the whole country's entire accumulated wealth, and enslave the entire populace on top of it. And it all goes to whichever grifter clique is able to get and keep control of the apparatus of the State.

Listening to the scam patter is for suckers, once you've identified that's what it is.

Hilarious! Six months ago all the Euroweenies said there was no threat to tghe territorial safety to Greenland except from Trump! Ha!

I think the Brits are too embarrassed to admit that they can't afford to hurry the readiness of the Prince of Wales to get it to the Med anytime soon. So they claim its may be needed sometime soon in the North Atlantic. Meanwhile, Macron has sent or is soon sending France's aircraft carrier and a bunch more naval ships to help protect Cyprus! The Royal Navy is now below joke status. Sad, but that's what a Leftist government gets you.

The basic concept started under Eisenhower. In 1961, the "Foreign Assistance Act" was signed my Kennedy. He directed the SoS to create an agency for international development, which later became USAID.

In 1998, Congress established USAID as a functionally independent executive agency with the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act, which gave the president 60 days to abolish or reorganize USAID.

196 Ohferpetessakes. The whole war is pragmatic. It's pragmatic for Israel, and for the US. When it comes to Iran, about three-quarters of that Venn Diagram is overlap.

Both countries have a vested interest in the destruction of Iran.

I can understand an argument against our alliance with Israel, but I'm checking out when I hear that Israel dictates American foreign policy in the Middle East. That assertion is clearly nonsense, and it has been for nearly 80 years.

199 The mooslems invaded over decades in a slow roll to the Caliphate and Ummah. Some admit it, like the guy above. They don't hide it. They are using democracy, legal protections, etc to batten down any islamophobia.

I kept this quote from somewhere:

A famous "moderate", Dr Zaki Badawi, the Egyptian director of the Muslim College in Ealing, has written: "Islam endeavours to expand in Britain . . . It hopes that one day the whole of mankind will be one Muslim community, the Umma."

In 1999, the Vatican hosted a conference of Muslim and Christian leaders, attended by the Titular Archbishop of Smyrna. He reports that a Muslim participant was disarmingly frank about the purpose of Islamic settlers in pluralistic Western societies. Addressing the Christian delegates from Europe, he allegedly said: "Because of our religion, we will invade you; because of your democracy, we will destroy you."

In the mid-70s, while on Spring Break in Daytona Beach, I and some buds were in the bar on the top floor of the Holiday Inn enjoying some brews and waiting for the live music to begin.

Soon enough, the band with this very attractive chick as lead singer took the stage. Good Latin music. It was only later that I learned that the band was what would soon become known as the Miami Sound Machine.

Zionists were a fringe faction among the Jews who wanted to get up and reclaim the Jewish homeland in the levant. No real impetus, though they did get the Brits who owned the region after WWI to allow a driblet of them to go live in the area.

Then the Germans and all went Nuts, and the powers decided that the Europeans could no longer be trusted to not kill all the Jews, and the area was opened up for more emigration from Europe.

274 If drones can continue to take out enough of those Basenji dogs and check points, the streets will eventually open up (fully or at least mostly) for the 80+ million Iranians who want the regime gone to overwhelm their oppressors -- especially if we can get them sufficient firearms and other weapons for self-defense and even offensive actions.

We have been telling people to keep off the streets especially at night. Then we have been smoking anyone we see. That and the regime threatening anyone has kept people inside. They tried to reverse it in a few areas because they thought they were smart and could hide in the population. But that just put more eyes on them. They are getting degraded every single moment of the day, and I would agree that in a few weeks things are going to be lit.

Just one thing they omitted to mention:

The "family members" killed by Israel were Hezballah terrorists.

The Michigan shooter who attempted to murder toddlers at a Jewish preschool claimed he had lost �family members� in an Israeli strike in Lebanon.

99%.

Voting ended March 5, most voting was weeks ahead of time.

Protest votes would probably have been more directed towards Hispanics rather than Muslims.

Still, woke idiots abound.

So, only 99%. Not 100%.

Coming out that many of these influencer accounts are basically brokered and combined into packages by talent agencies that sell their bylines like fake journalists for grubby money.

That is apart from the comment mills in shitty parts of the world like Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. etc. and the robo commenters. And it is on every open major discussion forum, Disqus, Breitbart, Zerohedge, etc.

The only way to stop it is paid registration model which makes it uneconomical to apply en masse.

Some movements trying to get X to only allow those with verified and paid accounts to do a lot of things and allow the freebie accounts very little other than consume what it out there. Think the free tier may not be able to report posts is coming due to massive organized blocks by certain ethnic groups.

"BREAKING: A new analysis by @JewishOnliner finds that much of the supposed “American backlash” to Operation Epic Fury on X is actually being driven by foreign accounts.

7 of the 10 accounts generating the most interactions about “Iran” were based outside the U.S., and every one of them was negative toward the operation. Among the 100 most viral posts, 60 came from foreign accounts and generated over 155M views—far more than U.S.-based posts.

Of those 100 viral posts, 90 were hostile to Epic Fury, while every pro-operation post came from an American account. In other words, much of the “consensus” online is being shaped by foreign amplification."

The media knows this. It's not a secret. It's so common that homes in Israel have safe rooms because they live with constant threats of attacks. The media also know Iran funds Hezbollah. But rather than report the truth they find it better for their purposes to lie and blame Israel. Impossible to hate the media enough.

Iran, Russia, and China all have known cyber apparati that are directed mostly at us.

All three really want the US to splinter internally and to fail in Iran specifically.

It's one of the reasons I wonder at the actual influence of someone like Tucker.

Again, he outright endorsed a guy in a TX House primary a few weeks back. I mean, it's a House primary. Shouldn't be that hard to drive a significant number of supporters to play spoiler, at the very least, if he's that influential.

The guy came in 6th. Not a distant 2nd. 6th.

I think the line of attack against these people is that they're not actually influential in America. That they can get third worlders riled up about the Joos, but nothing else, that they are non-factors in American politics.

He responded that there were sworn statements by citizens saying they had scene it and photos and the bimbo just repeated her statement.

So Vance looked at her and said, "As a reporter it is your job to GO to the story. Talk with the people there. And as best you can present all the evidence you find fairly, not just repeat what some local town official told you over the phone"

And her response? The local authorities had denied the story was true so why are you repeating a lie?

Also the left: Of course if you engage in a negative way with any majority Islamic country there will be terror attacks at home

Have you not heard?

It's proven that Israel did 9/11 because in 1995 Bibi Netanyahu referenced the idea that someday Islamic radicals might attack the World Trade Center.

How else could he know that 9/11 would come?

It's not like Islamic terrorists attack the WTC in 1993 and swore to take down the twin towers when their attack failed to take the towers down, or anything.

I haven't seen any recent pics, but in the Substance the main character was supposed to be an over-the-hill celebrity who lost her looks and was desperate to do anything to regain her youth.

But the movie didn't have the balls to cast an actual old woman. They cast Demi Moore to prance around naked. She's no spring chicken, but she's still in excellent shape and I dare say most girls half her age wished they had her body.

My best guess? Ozempic. She probably used it to drop 10 pounds -- a big no-no -- and then couldn't kick the drug or stop the weight from coming off. That's a real risk.

There are two people in my fam-and-friends circle who were very overweight, and used Ozempic. It took the weight off. But once the target weight was reached, it was hard to get off the drug, and the weight kept coming off.

Using the term "blowback" is intended to justify attacks on people who didn't commit the acts in question, in order to motivate the general population to turn on the government out of fear for their personal safety. In other words, the term is intended to justify terrorism.

If people are instead motivated to remove the actual source of the danger once and for all, it isn't terrorism, it's common sense.

302 I haven't seen any recent pics, but in the Substance the main character was supposed to be an over-the-hill celebrity who lost her looks and was desperate to do anything to regain her youth.

But the movie didn't have the balls to cast an actual old woman. They cast Demi Moore to prance around naked. She's no spring chicken, but she's still in excellent shape and I dare say most girls half her age wished they had her body.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at March 13, 2026 03:27 PM (iFTx/)

Even in June of 1996, when Striptease was released and Demi Moore was 33, they were making $6M/Bionic Woman jokes: "She looks like a million bucks -- so she got her money's worth." That was three decades of "work done" ago. She's not just "senior discount" old; she's "early Social Security" old, if she ever paid into it. Without having seen the movie, the casting seems perfect.

He had Pence and others screwing him from within and also he needed to be reelected. So I don't think he was playing nice or sucking up so much as hamstrung and screwed over.

I can even tell you the selling point on how they did it. Pence (the modern day Quaker) was sold as someone to soften Trump's historical image. And, back then Trump was listenting to questionable advisors with a focus on image.

Thankfully, it became apparent to him eventually that no matter what steps he took, they would always attack him relentlessly. Hence the difference between his first term and second term. He owns the image this time without giving a flying eff. So, less compromise.

To crash with bomb stuff and guns into a preschool is demonic. How could any mother (which Kelly claims to be) think this is ok? How? Unless blind hatred towards Jews, is my answer. The mask is off.

I have not one molecule of pity for Iranian Revolutionary Guards dying, not Isis, nor the cowards who died killing unarmed people yesterday...but I do feels sorry for innocent children who can't help it when the bombs land and kill them, too.

An Illegal Alien With a Criminal Record As Long as David French's Bull Roster Has Been Deported Four Times, But Is Still Allowed to Walk Around NYC Pushing Strangers In Front of Oncoming Subway Trains

Via John Sexton.

This is sick.

Mamdani signed an Executive Order banning police from cooperating with DHS or ICE.

And this Terror Simp also refuses to force them into homeless shelters during extreme cold. So instead they take refuge in the subway stations and victimize people trying to get to work.

The homeless are filling the subway stations because of Mamdani, and psychopathically violent foreign killers are allowed to roam the streets because of Mamdani.

Mamdani continues insisting he will not deport illegals nor turn them over to ICE even after this illegal alien maniac claims another two victims.

Well done, New York City Democrats. Give yourselves all a raise.

Chilling cellphone footage taken by a victim of a random subway shove shows the moment a migrant who allegedly shoved him and an 83-year-old man calmly walk away after the unprovoked violence.
Video obtained by The Post shows Honduran national Bairon Hernandez, 34, strolling along the platform after allegedly pushing an 83-year-old man and a second younger man onto the tracks at a station on the Upper East Side around noon Sunday.
Hernandez was arrested at about 5 a.m. Tuesday at a Brooklyn homeless shelter and charged with attempted murder, attempted assault, assault and reckless endangerment.
Grandfather and Air Force veteran Richard Williams, the older of the two victims, is still fighting for his life at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell.

"My father, Richard, is on a respirator in the ICU in the hospital. That's all we are going to say," one of Williams' daughters told The Post on Tuesday.
Hernandez reportedly didn't say a word throughout and hadn't interacted with his victims before the incident.
The younger victim helped Williams off the tracks and fellow straphangers got the pair back onto the platform before a train came.
...
It comes after the NYPD revealed transit crime spiked nearly 20% in February as cold weather policies prevented cops from booting rule-breaking passengers from the subway.

He was last deported in 2020 -- under Trump. He reentered the country at an unknown date, but I'm gonna guess it was under Biden.

Per CBS: The result of free-range homeless and sanctuary murder policies is having exactly the effect that you predicted it would have, and which Democrats and the media vowed it would not have:

So far in 2026, there have been nine subway push incidents according to the NYPD. By way of comparison, there were 19 in all of 2025 and 26 in all of 2024.

They come to places like here because it’s pretty and quaint. But they don’t leave their voting behind and somehow don’t fully connect the dots. Of course they also complain about us being slow, speaking funny, get offended when the second question asked is “where do you go to Church”. I mean goodness, y’all, you moved to the Bible Belt. It’s mandatory that we first ask what you (or your husband) does, and secondly where you go to church. It’s the rule.

I want deportations at huge scales, so rapid, violent, in every large city that the Dims will be screaming in circles. Then deport to their countries, El Salvador, Bermuda Triangle. I don't care. They don't need due process as they came here illegally. DEPORT THEM ALL!

If they have visas...ok, I don't even care about that. There is nothing peaceful about their religion. Put them in internment camps.

GET OUT!

77 "So far in 2026, there have been nine subway push incidents according to the NYPD. By way of comparison, there were 19 in all of 2025 and 26 in all of 2024."

So we're on track for 30 this year? Up from 26 last year? There are 1.2 billion (with a "b") subway rides in NYC in a year. That makes the odds of getting pushed on any given subway ride in a year are 1 in 40 million (30 in 1.2 billion).

Assuming you ride the subway 10x a week, that means you can ride for 77,000 years before you'd statistically be pushed.

Odds of getting struck by lightning? 1 in 1.6 million each year. You are 25x more likely to get struck by lighting than pushed in the NYC subway.

Thinking outside the box...

DHS / ICE needs to work from the outside in with street sweeping with city hall at the center. When illegals start taking refuge there then it would become clear that Mamdani is literally harboring fugatives. Then arrest him and charge him with as many counties as there are aliens hunkered down under his desk.

Concurrently funnel a bunch to his home block. Or even start there.

79 He should have been deported when it was clear he didn't have the funds to sustain himself. We were paying for his meals and bed in a homeless shelter. We shouldn't allow anyone into this country that doesn't have the money to support themselves.

Majority of immigrants immigrate bc they don’t have money looking for a better life. By only allowing people who can support themselves would make only rich immigrants and that has to be like some type of classism (bring the rich get rid of the poor)

Next you might even come up with a idea to sell gold cards and expedite permanent residency for about a million dollars what could go wrong

ICE, this one’s a slam dunk! Go get ‘em. These are your targets not citizen folks like Pretti or Good. Excellent fodder for the public relations team too.

It’s very dishonest to assume people protesting ICE are doing so on behalf of the worst of the worst instead of the normal immigrants that just do a good days work and pay their bills like everyone else and have been here for years without issue

Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at

My understanding is there is an initial sweep of the roles to ensure people who are on them are legit, and going forward, you just have to show ID. You have to prove citizenship to register to vote. So I agree it won’t be 100% effective, but it will cut down on the issue dramatically. I think there will also be a bit of a deterrent factor that prevents some who felt emboldened to vote, not to risk it and get deported.

123 I'm a native NYer from The Bronx, where I now live. I'm tired of you all saying that we in NYC "deserve" this.

I posted this right after the election ... Two reasons for Zohran:

First, a large and growing Muslim population that turnout and vote as a block. It's not my Da's NYC anymore.

The second factor is Woke hipsters who move here from elsewhere. The rest of the country should be thanking us for taking in their wretched refuse yearning to be free.

Together they have outsized voting power because so many who work in NYC -- and thus have an interest in NYC -- live and vote elsewhere. This leads to weird politics from low turnout with fringe candidates winning.

Soros was an early backer of Zohran. He got a high ROI, no?

Zohran will be the American poster child for all that's wrong with the unholy alliance of Woke and Islam. They're both ersatz religions. Like Scientology and Joel Osteen: Follow their program and you'll be rewarded in this life (and 77 virgins in the next!) It's a global phenomenon. Witness Londonstan.

Peace, out

144 "The census "counts" illegals to give blue states votes."

as I understand it, they give illegals IDs that can't identify them as illegals, so they can vote without detection.

BUT even if they don't vote, they give the districts full of illegals representatives based on the total population (including the illegals). So for example, an area of Chicago with 400k legals and 400k illegals will get one rep, while a district with 800k legals will also get one rep.

(somewhere close to 800k/district) This basically means the illegals have at least 20 of their own reps in congress.

Amen. Spokane's Fairchild AFB is home to the 97th squadron. SIL is a retired kc135 captain. Talked with him this morning. He's wondering if he knew any of the airmen. He said combat refueling most often involves multiple tankers. He said it can get very intense. Sounded like a midair collision.

236 NYC requires extra sensitive alert behaviors. Obviously, venturing on to the subway is one thing (pro-tip: stand back to the wall and wait for the train to enter the station) but also walking down the sidewalks. Be careful someone doesn't reach out and punch you (or any less aware people walking with you). All such things happen.

237 I like how the Secretary of War refers to enemy leaders as "rats."

This is a distinct improvement over the prior 75 years of pusillanimity.

Hegseth is Trump's standout appointment, in both administrations.

People talk about Rubio or Vance. They're both GOP pussies. I want Hegseth for POTUS.

Whereas when they moves there like ten years ago it was safe tk be in the subway at night, no problem.

Governors races are those kinds of races that can go against PVI and elect off-party candidates.

They're a bit less driven by pure partisanship and can be influenced by local/statewide issues.

No polling of the GOP primary for months, and the last couple were YouGov (laughs), but this could be another Mark Robinson (NC in 2024) where the candidate is just so bad but wins the primary anyway.

The only things that could save Vivek if he wins the primary are the very slanted nature of PVI in Ohio and the fact that Acton is terrible.

I've had trouble finding the rationalization as well. I'm going to suggest a staple of today's society. "Immediate gratification" and "Envy" itied together in a neat little bow of "self-loathing."

These illegals are sold a bill of goods that coming to the US guarantees wealth. When it becomes apparent that they need to work for it, they go for the immediate gratification associated with crime. When that doesn't work out they start to envy those established citizens like a old white guy (likely carrying groceries or something)...which trips the envy button...as they compare that old white guy to their own failures...and that brings forth the frustration and self-loathing. Hence, a push onto the tracks. Of course, these lawless jackasses likely don't need much of a reason. They're angry.

"DHAHRAN — On March 10, Saudi Aramco chief executive Amin Nasser made a disclosure that would have been unthinkable six months ago. The Kingdom’s 1,200-kilometre East-West crude oil pipeline, a Cold War-era contingency built in 1981 and rarely operated at capacity, would hit its emergency maximum of seven million barrels per day “in the next couple of days.” Yanbu, a modest Red Sea port that processed fewer than 800,000 barrels daily in February, had tripled its throughput in barely a week."

If anyone says somebody else's sucky thing sucks, then it apparently "lives free in [guy's] head," or he's trying to "censor it" or "cancel it."

It has long been demonstrated that leftists beliefs on crime and its perpetrators are full of shit. Criminals respond to incentives and no worries about being punished by homeowners means more home invasions. To them, crime is what they do because they don't care to work for a living and jail/prison is simply like when they get laid off for a time. Out, they will start back to what they were doing that got them into trouble in the first place. It is a way of life to them, not economic or social primarily, but culture.

In jurisdictions where they may get ventilated, there are less home invasions and burglars tend to stick to unoccupied dwellings. Only the hard cases go after targets where they might get killed.

Posted by: Ian S.

Some quibbles about how different jurisdictions code this and I think you can find a DoJ publication explaining that. But it generally means purposefully going into a residence despite it being occupied and entering in a tumultuous fashion.

Defining it gets complicated when sometimes it is a whacked out acquaintance or family member of some sort usually on drugs or drunk or in domestic violence cases. They may have a quasi legal reason for entry but refuse to leave when asked.

I recognized he wasn't a threat and pushed his ass out the door and off the porch. He starts yelling about me being in his sisters house so I chased him down to her house when I figured out this was the dude she was always bitching about. Sad more than anything. She really loved him and he died a few month later.

Doors always locked since. That whole incident brought on security cameras and being armed always on the property.

"The Motive May Never Be Known" Is Now "The Motive Is White Supremacy, Somehow"

David Strom rounds up some of the most egregious disinformation from the far-left terrorist propaganda networks, which are simply now denying that Islamic terrorism exists just as they previously denied antifa exists.

After a Jewish temple was JUST ATTACKED by a terrorist in West Bloomfield, Michigan, the anchor at a local station in Detroit feels the need to connect it to "white supremacy."

Anchor: "Its not just a fear of Iran and what's happening, there's a rise in white supremacy."

It's an entirely new rulebook. They used to just downplay Islamic terror, but just as they did with Charlie Kirk, they now spring into action and immediatly blame the act on the right.
They mention Nick Fuentes, an online influencer, and ignore institutionalized antisemitism on the left, in Congress (The Squad), candidates with nazi tattoos, in Academia, and in their own media circles.

You know, of course, the NYT's eternal claim that "The motive may never be known" when bearded Tusken Raiders are shouting "Allahu Akbar" and shaking their gaffi sticks.

The NYT now modifies that tactic: Now they will admit that maybe they know the motive, so long as they also communicate The motive is a justifiable one because Muslims are mad that Israel exists.

Seriously, you don�t hate the @nytimes enough.

A synagogue with a preschool is targeted.

As we have both lived and worked in Islamic countries, fought with and against Islamic forces, and generally know many of the people, we agreed there is nothing to have a "phobia" about. This is just another bastardization of the language by the media, elected officials, and academia, to turn any conversation into bigotry.
Well, Fu*k that.

And the bald guy with the pale green tie? He should have told the hostess (Abby Philip is her name?) to "Be quiet. A man is speaking."

The clips would have gone viral, the leftoids would have lost their minds, and neither of them would ever be invited on a mainstream program again. Small loss.

80 The left's talk on Israel is that the problem is Jews have gone into Muslim lands and taken them over, and therefore of course the Muslims will engage in violence...justified violence!...to get them back.

Meanwhile the left's take on say NYC is that a Muslim coming to power here is a blessing of diversity and makes NYC better...

Odd that they have the opposite take in both these areas huh?

Posted by: 18-1 at March 13, 2026 12:33 PM (sKqQm)

81 Hear me out.
I think there is an odd emotional reaction by weak-brained people where when they feel guilt they immediately ease that bad feeling by trying to find why it is not their fault. eg, the wife who cheats and gets mad at the husband; the mother who hits the kid and says "look what you made me do," etc.

The people on the left *know* that this is muslim terrorism, but they have to find how to blame the Right. It is an expression of acknowledged guilt. We should take that as a good sign.

It is also mostly gaslighting and propaganda, but I think not completely.

I am beginning to think that progressives' Marcusian "tolerant intolerance" is really primarily about safety and social acceptance for kiddy diddlers. They apply tolerance to Islam -- which is wealthy, numerous, repressive, patriarchal, conquering, colonizing, and imperialist -- while applying intolerance to Christianity, which is tolerant of dissent, anti-DV, and many other progressive things that Islam is not. Pretty much the only "tolerant" thing about Islam is its acceptance for the sexual molestation of children and animals, and yet that somehow counts as a "pro" for them, that outweighs the "cons" of its pro-DV, anti-feminist, anti-queer aspects.

"To the extent that Emir Balat was known at all in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia, it was as a budding entrepreneur.

When he was only 13, he programmed bots to buy pricey sneakers the moment they dropped. His father would drive him to the parking lot of a Wawa convenience store, where he would sell them to a sneaker dealer, sometimes making more than $200 a pair. He told people he was investing in crypto.

Last fall, Mr. Balat started attending high school remotely and began selling contractor supplies online — flooring, sinks and vanities, mini-splits and power tools. Customers gave him rave reviews.

"You'd think a kid making some money would buy video games or something like that, but he was smarter and ahead of the game," Mr. Pozdnyakov said.

151 In my comment above, the "Mr. Pozdnyakov" the NYT quotes is 25 year old Garry Pozdnyakov. Pozdnyakov was supposedly a "sneaker seller" who this goatfucker sold sneakers to.

Goatfucker later sold "contractor supplies online — flooring, sinks and vanities, mini-splits and power tools." NYT doesn't bother to say where he would get these items.

Isn't it obvious? This is all stolen shit. Anyone who thinks this was a legit business, and not some kind of fencing operation involving the Russian mob, is a fucking idiot.

155 "He was arrested in..." there's a subtle implication there, an opportunity for the false-flag conspiracists to stay in the conversation in that conments section and elsewhere -- cloaked by the old-school journalistic proscription against prosecutorial language. You are only accused of something until you are convicted of it.

This construction is made possible by putting the presumption of innocence -- the defense argument -- in the lede. "It could have been" a day trip into the city, but (skipping the damning video evidence) "they found themselves ..."

That's what's going on.

166 The United States Department of Defence is deploying an additional 5,000 Marines and warships to the Middle East in response to escalating Iranian attacks around the Strait of Hormuz, according to The Wall Street Journal.

U.S. officials confirmed that this deployment includes an amphibious ready group and a Marine expeditionary unit, which typically consists of several naval vessels and approximately 5,000 Marines.

Among the ships reportedly heading to the region is the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA-7), along with its associated Marine units.

This deployment was authorised following a request from the United States Central Command, as Iranian attacks on shipping have intensified in and around the Strait, a critical maritime corridor through which around 20% of the world’s oil supply usually passes.

The reinforcement aims to protect commercial shipping and energy supplies, prepare for potential naval escort missions for oil tankers, and enhance U.S. military deterrence in the Gulf.

Shouldn't be too hard, since they crossed state lines, attacked a protest, and then when in custody said something approving about ISIL.

THE MORNING RANT: Mounting Setbacks for BlackRock and the Woke Asset Management Cartel

BlackRock, the massive asset management company controlled by Machiavellian CEO Larry Fink, is having a bad go of it recently. Mr. Fink famously tried to use BlackRock’s power and influence as custodial owner of investors’ mutual fund shares to compel corporations to adopt his radical political agenda. Mr. Fink sought to make corporations submit to Net Zero, DEI, ESG, and all the other pathologies of the woke left. With Vanguard and State Street as his obedient political allies, Mr. Fink’s cartel is the largest shareholder of the overwhelming majority of S&P 500 stocks.

Funds invested in a 401k buys shares of stock, but the asset management cartel’s members, as the technical owner of those stocks, were casting proxy votes on your behalf to force corporations to endorse the left’s crazy agenda. The despicable use of your retirement funds to push a political agenda may have just ended, thanks to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, along with AGs from ten other red states.

The Attorney Generals have been suing the three big asset managers, but Vanguard just capitulated, agreeing to settle and stop its woke political practices. But best of all, Vanguard will be providing information to the AGs which may further implicate BlackRock and State Street in collusion and/or other anti-trust crimes.

“Attorney General Paxton Secures Historic, Industry-Changing Agreement with Vanguard to Protect the Coal Industry and Empower Investors” [Office of Ken Paxton, Atty General of Texas – 02/26/2026]

Key agreements include:

• Vanguard will pay a $29.5 million penalty to the 11 states for its role in harming the energy industry.
• Vanguard has committed to not impose ESG goals that affect customers’ profitability.
• Vanguard will no longer attempt to direct its portfolio companies’ business strategies.
• Vanguard will no longer “threaten its portfolio companies that it will withdraw from its holdings unless they agree to act (or not act) in some manner.”
• Vanguard will no longer nominate directors or shareholder proposals to its portfolio companies. The days of imposing green board members and net zero proposals on businesses is over.
• Vanguard will start allowing retail investors (e.g you and me) to have proxy votes for investments in funds of US companies.

Ken Paxton pulled no punches in describing what comes across as mafia-like behavior by the asset management companies. Here are some quotes from that press release from AG Paxton’s office:

Attorney General Paxton’s lawsuit seeks to lower the cost of coal—and, thereby, electricity prices—throughout the United States by combatting a BlackRock-led cartel that sought to drive up the price of coal under the guise of “green energy.”
BlackRock’s efforts produced massive profits for itself and its co-conspirators and raised the prices of electricity on consumers throughout the United States. To further profit on the back of Americans, BlackRock also deceived thousands of its investors who elected to invest in non-ESG funds. The Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (“DOJ” and Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” have taken legal action to support Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit by filing a joint statement of interest.
“While Vanguard has taken appropriate action to resolve this case, Blackrock and State Street have continued to ignore state laws, engage in anticompetitive schemes that hurt American energy, and undermine those who use their services to invest.

This is a big moment, and what so many of us fighting against woke capital have been seeking. Attorney General Paxton (along with Kansas Atty General Kris Kobach and nine others) deserve abundant praise for this victory against the capture of corporate governance by a small cartel of evil asset managers.

But this is just a start. Now that Vanguard has capitulated, it’s in the position of turning state’s evidence against BlackRock and State Street.

From Will Hild at Twitter/X:

BREAKING: BlackRock is in major trouble. Today, a seismic shift has happened in the antitrust case brought against the ESG asset manager cartel of BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard Group. Vanguard is admitting defeat, agreeing to settle the lawsuit brought by a coalition of State Attorneys General, led by @KenPaxtonTX
As part of the settlement they will pay $30 million in fines, turn over all documents related to their coordinated ESG activism, and end all ESG activism for years to come. This is a massive win. The reckoning is here. This settlement with Vanguard is a major blow to the ESG asset manager cartel that sets the stage for more to come. The Attorneys General sought and got long overdue accountability and a massive course correction from Vanguard. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink should be extremely worried about what could be uncovered next, and who's going to fold next. If State Street folds and admits defeat as well, he will be left on an island on his own.

If it is revealed that there was actual communication among BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street on coordinating their strategies for imposing ESG on corporations, criminal prosecution against those involved is warranted.

The Hotel BlackRock – You Can Never Leave

There’s even more bad news for Larry Fink. BlackRock stock is crashing due to investors who are desperate to pull money out of “private credit” funds. BlackRock has shut the door, not allowing investors to get all their money back.

To be fair, the investors were naive to entrust their money to Larry Fink in a fund that allows you to invest, but not necessarily withdraw your funds. They were seduced into investing in “exclusive” funds that are perceived to be the prestigious investment vehicle of the rich and savvy. Like hedge funds, these private credit funds are fairly illiquid. The effect for investors is that they get statements showing how much their investment is worth, but they are prohibited from withdrawing it all.

Much like a bank run, investors recently started pulling out of BlackRock’s private credit funds, causing a stampede of other investors wanting to get their money out too. BlackRock was forced to tell panicked investors, “No,” they could not pull all their money out of the freefalling fund.

“BlackRock Won’t Let Billionaires Cash Out of Its $26B Fund - That Should Worry Everyone” [24/7 Wall St – 3/09/2026]

BlackRock is blocking investors from fully exiting its $26 billion HPS Corporate Lending Fund after redemption requests hit 9.3% of shares in Q1, well above the fund’s 5% quarterly cap. It marks the first time withdrawal requests have exceeded that limit, and the market is reacting accordingly.
The contagion risk is real. Private credit funds are structurally illiquid by design, and when one high-profile name restricts exits, investors in similar vehicles tend to rush for the door simultaneously. Blackstone, Apollo, and KKR are now under heightened scrutiny as a result.

BlackRock stock is down 15% in the past three weeks, and down about 25% from its high point earlier this year. It may be time for Larry Fink to retire and spend more time with his ~~legal defense team~~ family and let someone without such a tarnished reputation steer BlackRock out of the mess that Mr. Fink put it in.

Other Stuff I’m Writing About

My latest piece at the The American Spectator has been published. “Shipping Interruption in Persian Gulf Is Yet Another Reminder of the Risks of Offshoring” discusses how the major shipping chokepoints (Panama Canal, Suez Canal, Strait of Hormuz) have all had major stoppages or slow-downs in recent years, and how completely reckless it was of the United States to become so dependent on imports.

The utopian ideal of one peaceful, global market does not exist and cannot exist. The various chokepoints that keep getting choked off prove the recklessness of having the U.S. so dependent on foreign imports. This recent shipping interruption in the Strait of Hormuz is another reminder of why economic independence is so necessary. We’d be in a perilous situation if the U.S. hadn’t become energy independent. There is no excuse for the United States to be dependent on anything that can be sourced or manufactured domestically.

This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

My latest piece at The American Spectator:

“Reckless idealism about global trade has blinded too many people to the risk of having an import-dependent economy.”

It goes back a lot longer than that. Boss Tweed favored the Irish because it was "their turn", and because the corruption helped him. There's nothing new about any of this.

Boss Tweed, the infamous leader of Tammany Hall in 19th-century New York City, primarily favored and drew his strongest support from Irish immigrants, particularly Irish Catholics.
Tammany Hall's electoral power base under Tweed was largely centered on the Irish immigrant population. He and his machine provided jobs, housing assistance, food, medical care, naturalization help, and funding for schools, hospitals, orphanages, and charities that benefited Irish communities. In return, Irish voters delivered reliable loyalty and votes for Democratic candidates backed by Tammany.
This relationship was mutually beneficial: Tweed helped Irish immigrants (who faced discrimination and poverty after events like the Great Famine) integrate and gain opportunities, while they formed the core of his political machine.

27 It's not just BR and its private credit funds. It's all private credit funds. The bloom is off the rose.

PCF are basically pig-lipstick versions of the old toxic mortgage-backed securities: high yields and fat profits ... until the inevitable defaults.

Like MBS, PCF are heavy on risky debt that will probably never be repaid. But until the defaults, the interest rates are very high, and so are the profits. If you're the investor holding the hot potato when the music stops, you will be burned.

BR and the rest of the fund managers, however, will make out like bandits. Fink is a billionaire.

Then I heard his speech on the economy, in Detroit I think, and he made so much sense about how free trade hollowed out the US and made us very vulnerable to foreign countries for basic needs. I just sat in my car and listened to the whole thing, missing lunch. I waited so long for someone to say what he was saying.

48 Sort of related:

From CTH:

TIMELINE: Trump and Putin meet. Three days later Russia begins pumping oil/gas and storing it at sea. President Trump then triggers the Venezuela western hemisphere security operation; Russia stays silent. President Trump then triggers the confrontation with Iran; Russia rejects involvement. And then two weeks after the Iran confrontation begins, Trump removes sanctions on Russian oil/gas “in transit” at sea.

Suddenly all of the Russian produced and stored product ‘on the water’ has greater value and new customers.

Just a coincidence? No way.
The United States needs the oil/gas market stability that Russia can provide.
Venezuela was/is to Trump as Ukraine was/is to Putin.
We’ll keep watching.

89 Boss Tweed, the infamous leader of Tammany Hall in 19th-century New York City, primarily favored and drew his strongest support from Irish immigrants, particularly Irish Catholics.
Tammany Hall's electoral power base under Tweed was largely centered on the Irish immigrant population. He and his machine provided jobs, housing assistance, food, medical care, naturalization help, and funding for schools, hospitals, orphanages, and charities that benefited Irish communities. In return, Irish voters delivered reliable loyalty and votes for Democratic candidates backed by Tammany.
This relationship was mutually beneficial: Tweed helped Irish immigrants (who faced discrimination and poverty after events like the Great Famine) integrate and gain opportunities, while they formed the core of his political machine.

From wiki...

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is shorthand for an investing principle that prioritizes environmental issues, social issues, and corporate governance. Investing with ESG considerations is sometimes referred to as responsible investing or, in more proactive cases, impact investing. The term is also frequently used interchangeably with corporate social responsibility and sustainability, although these concepts have different foci, origins and applications.

The dictator acknowledged that it is a dialogue process driven by the regime itself along with Raúl Castro, amid the strong economic and political pressure from Washington.

People are incentivized to put their money into 401ks. And naturally businesses got into that space since their was money to be made.

But...not many companies. And they were largely shielded from any negative things they did.

So if you take over one company and make it go ESG you might kill it. But what if you get leverage to make every big company go ESG instead? You just leach off the whole of the economy so the costs are much harder to see, it is essentially a hidden tax that provides a large amount of money for leftwing grifters.

From wiki...

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is shorthand for an investing principle that prioritizes environmental issues, social issues, and corporate governance. Investing with ESG considerations is sometimes referred to as responsible investing or, in more proactive cases, impact investing. The term is also frequently used interchangeably with corporate social responsibility and sustainability, although these concepts have different foci, origins and applications.

Seriously. The robber barons of the 19th and 20th centuries were ruthless in hopes of owning the entirety of their respective industries. The ones of the 21st century have embarked on directing the very lives of everyone on the planet. It's a level of loathing of humanity that used to be restricted to demons like Hitler -- and abhorred universally. Now, they meet in Davos annually and half the world's population is packing their bags for the nearest 15-minute city and tasting bugs to see which they'll prefer in the Brave New World.

I am beginning to think that progressives' Marcusian "tolerant intolerance" is really primarily about safety and social acceptance for kiddy diddlers. They apply tolerance to Islam -- which is wealthy, numerous, repressive, patriarchal, conquering, colonizing, and imperialist -- while applying intolerance to Christianity, which is tolerant of dissent, anti-DV, and many other progressive things that Islam is not. Pretty much the only "tolerant" thing about Islam is its acceptance for the sexual molestation of children and animals, and yet that somehow counts as a "pro" for them, that outweighs the "cons" of its pro-DV, anti-feminist, anti-queer aspects.

201 I am no fan of BlackRock but the posting on private credit is factually wrong, making this no better than left-wing rage baiting.

Private credit, on the first page of their offering, says *WE LIMIT WITHDRAWS TO 5% PER QUARTER*. Also while it is illiquid, private credit pays out a dividend either monthly or quarterly, typically in the range of 8-12%. So it is like a CD - you get interest payments and it is really hard to get your money out, agreed at the onset.

And the money is not available because it is lent out to American based businesses, which hire workers, buy computers, etc. The reason it is illiquid is like the bank run scene on "It's a Wonderful Life" where George Baily explains the money is not it the bank, it is tied up in various places in the community.

So while you can hate BlackRock for their wokeness, there is no need to demonize "private credit", which BlackRock is one of many who provide this financial instruments, like many banks offer CDs. You are also probably confusing them with BlackStone, which is the largest Private Credit company, and was once associated with BlackRock, but today is a completely separate entity.

202 Vanguard managed my company’s 401k accounts. The investment funds never ever did better than OK. As soon as I retired, I moved my 401k to another investment house not known for funding ESG behavior. In the 2 years since, I’ve done much better financially.

This is exactly why so many people in Texas support Paxton. I suppose it’s also why many oppose him. If the suit is successful, I want damages of a decent fraction of my 401k at the time I left them. They owe me what I should have earned from a company that discharges their financial responsibility.

Allow me to read this note from my all-American hyperpatriot lawyer:

"I love Jewish people, actually, and their hideous cabins are quite beautiful as long as you don't water your horses from their poisoned troughs.

I was just asking questions about whether the widow Jensen's baby was actually killed by Indians, or *some other* tribe that routinely uses baby blood for their unpalatable flatbreads. I'm no genius, but I know what Sioux rhymes with, and I think it's just a little coincidental, don't you?"

Anyway, I'll be posting a bombshell handbill today, where I'll be summarizing my interview with Santa Ana, America's foremost frontiersman, about the true meaning of Conservatism, and just exactly which Hebraic bandit stole his leg.

117 From #328 in the previous thread:

328 It may already have been mentioned, but the spokeswoman at ODU had difficulty saying exactly what had happened to the shooter, ultimately saying "Rendered him no longer alive. I don't know how else to say it".

It's simple. They killed him. Why is this so difficult for you. We can't meet the threat if we won't say what happened.

It has been revealed that it was the STUDENTS at Old Dominion University who BEAT THE TERR*RIST TO DEATH... WITHOUT GUNS!!!

"There were students that were in that room that subdued him and rendered him... no longer alive.
I don't know how else to say it, but they basically were able to terminate the threat."

Nicol is an amazing artist. The level of realistic detail in the objects and clothing, especially the use of appropriate colors, is offset by the slightly exaggerated colors in the skin tones and faces. That contrast makes the people really stand out for the viewer. I don't know if Nicol influenced Norman Rockwell but Rockwell used the same technique to emphasize the people.

This painting makes me want to learn more about the artist.

213 BTW, read the whole thing and it explains the rotten views of the leftist judges on appellate courts. Olympus Spa v. Armstrong is the Washington case involving male troons in female only spas and Olympus Spa getting hammered by the Washington state government.

https://tinyurl.com/Olympus-Spa

Van Dyke's dissent begins on page 60 of the pdf. This judge fights and he correctly summarizes how the 9th is ignoring Scotus Free Exercise of Religion precedent in the case.

He also has called out repeatedly the 9th always convening en banc on gun cases to make sure that no 2A favorable decisions by a panel survive after the en banc rehearing.

Sound on Free Exercise, Sound on 2A, and he also called out the 9th for its presumptive stays on immigration cases as contrary to Scotus precedent.

Basically, 9th is treating immigration cases as a class action without it actually being of like individuals and following Trump v. CASA. And they have been doing this for years now. As a result, every frivolous argument in immigration cases flies in the 9th to delay for months if not years the final result.

221 First page of Van Dyke's dissent.

VANDYKE, Circuit Judge, dissent

This is a case about swinging dicks. The Christian owners of Olympus Spa—a traditional Korean, women-only, nude spa—understandably don’t want them in their spa. Their female employees and female clients don’t want them in their spa
either.

But Washington State insists on them. And now so does the Ninth Circuit. You may think that swinging dicks shouldn’t appear in a judicial opinion.
You’re not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we all can agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa—some as young as thirteen—to be visually assaulted by the real thing.

Sometimes, it feels like the supposed adults in the room have collectively lost their minds. Woke regulators and complicit judges seem entirely willing, even eager, to ignore the consequences that their Frankenstein social experiments impose on real women and young girls.

That's because they're not ignoring the consequences - they are implementing them.

Until you know what the Left is, this can never enter your skull. And once you know, you can predict their moves with relative ease. For example it will not be long before trannies are relegated to the shadow realm in favor of islamists. And we will clap like seals that we finally "got em". "Why did it take the Left so long to see the tranny folly", we will gloat.

Our side wants so bad to attribute our own senses of rationality and logic to the Left, to try to figure out why they do the things they do. It's futile.

Fake objection. There is something called filling the tree on amendments and that imposes a limit.

From wiki, "The Senate majority leader has a traditional right to be recognized first for the purposes of offering amendments on legislation.[2] The term itself is a colloquial name for the diagram used to show the priority given to amendments to a bill. The trunk of the tree represents the bill, while the branches reflect the corresponding amendments.

Majority leaders fill the tree to introduce first- and second-degree amendments that block other senators from offering further amendments because the Senate cannot move on to another amendment without unanimous consent or overcoming a filibuster on the motion to put the other amendment before the body. Depending on the particular bill, one of four trees may be used.

The Morning Report — 3/13/26

Good morning kids. Let's see, first a potential Islamikaze car bombing of a synagogue and then a mass shooting at Old Dominion University but let's not blow this out of proportion.

So we’ve got a known ISIS terrorist from Sierra Leone and a Lebanese Muslim terrorist, who had this stuff all over his social media, who were both able to get citizenship, remain in this country and plot their attacks. And much of our political elite is still demanding that we keep allowing the Muslim mass migration to continue. Two attacks in one day is a wake-up call. The latest one. It shows how many Muslim terrorists we have in this country. What more are we waiting for? 3 attacks in one day? 4? When does it get to be enough?

Not until we fully appreciate to glories of cultural enrichment, racists!

Not sure about you, but I’m noticing a pattern, and the groupings of violent attacks by date are getting closer and closer together, and more violent. Something tells me this won’t end on its own.
The worse it gets, and the more obvious the pattern, the harder the left is working to make “Islamophobia” the issue, not the fact that radical Islamists are a very real threat to Americans on our soil right now.

Let's not lose our heads over this. Oh, wait a minute. It's just Friday the 13th. Triskaidekaphobia sufferers I feel for you but, your fear of a 13-sided Sandy Duncan* is irrational. Islam and Leftism on the other hand...

*Triscuit reference, Oh never mind.

Have a great weekend!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

The question astronomers will try to answer with this telescope is whether the solar activity on these stars is high enough to prevent life from forming in the star’s habitable zone. Because these stars are dim and small, the habitable zone is quite close to the star, which means solar activity has a higher impact on the planet. We don’t yet have sufficient data to determine the normal activity of such stars. Sparcs will provide a good first survey.

11 This Iran operation seems to be trending toward quagmire territory with no end stage.

While I'm not opposed to the operation, I don't see a mechanism in place for us to install a government, ala Venezuela to start running the joint.

The main issue is that we are dealing with PissLam here that can generate a near infinite supply of lunatics to cause chaos for decades.

So this is going to drag on until we can figure out the end-game.

34 Like I said the other day about the Iranian drone threat - who cares? I highly doubt they have the capability they claim, and even if they do, attacks on the West Coast are no concern of mine. They're welcome to it. Bombs away, Mahmoud.

I'm worried about Americans, not Californians, and this country has lots of weaponized sandmaggots who are an active and real military threat. Once our own drones and operators are all coached up in the Middle East we need to bring them home and start striking the living daylights out of the upper Midwest, in particular.

71 There was a bit of a side discussion yesterday about the oil fields in Venezuela that the US has interests in. Once they are leveraged and products begin to be refined the Persian Gulf region ceases to be a focus for US oil supplies.

Obviously that's not going to happen today, or tomorrow.

But, a free Iran as a potential client state to the US would certainly be a thorn in both China and Russia's side. Not to mention a huge blow to the budding European caliphate.

They've got their grubby little fingers on a whole lot of triggers.

Most of the "regular" Iranian military is in shambles. The IRGC was, and is, Iran's hammer. They horde the good stuff, use it sparsely, and indiscriminately.

It's likely going to take several more weeks until the IRGC is neutered. Then the civilians can deal with what's left over.

115 97 There's a deliciously vengeful scene at the close of "Dangerous Liaisons" when Glenn Close, as the manipulative Marquise, faces the music of her stratagems and is shunned by her peers, the same group who once feigned adoration. The truth is horrifying for her, as she has no other social currency or means to survive except their approbation. Shunning. What a powerful social mechanism. But it is no longer. Does it matter what Tucker or Candance or any of these other manipulative maniacs say? They will never be shunned, shamed, isolated, or deprived of their clicks and adoring crowd, not in society without self-respect or standards

"I remember not one, single, solitary teacher of mine in high school that was ever political in class."

The exception in my case was our government and civics instructor, who was connected to the Dims. Eventually he put his money where his mouth was and ran for the City Council long after he had ceased teaching. He eventually became Mayor for a brief time before he passed.

Now, there were several instructors there in high school who made their views well known about the NEA, which was trying to organize the teachers at that time. Those against it spoke out in front of us, some quite forcefully.

Shocker: the NEA eventually won.

The driver took off at a high rate after pepper spray was deployed. Trooper used a pit move and the fleeing guys car crashed. The guy's daughter was thrown from the car and killed. He wasn't charged but the NY AG which handles police involved deaths wanted to make an example of the trooper. Jury is deliberating

171 I asked around here a few days ago what was the purpose and most of the answers differed from Trump's.† Top favorite here was "Choose Their Own Government".

† Stop the nuclear threat

------

That threat was already severely degraded, and it's a fig leaf. While it's *an objective* that's nobody's main one. Israel wants to eliminate its worst enemy, and Trump wants to further weaken and isolate our main enemy in China.

But, sadly, "we're fighting this war to buttfuck our enemies with no lube" isn't a fashionable casus belli in our womanly times, so everyone has to playact some "more noble" motive than that perfectly acceptable one.

As to the freedom of the Iranians... it would be a great thing if that precipitated out of this maelstrom. But I have a laundry list of victory conditions I'd like to see met, and that's not on it, let alone at the top. If that's the objective, we'll be stuck in the Middle East until we lose the war or the sun swallows the Earth - whichever comes first.

Don’t fall for the Uniparty Op. They have ALWAYS hated Paxton and have run smear campaigns against him every time - but in spite of that, he was fought 3 statewide campaigns and won easily all 3 times!

The race that pissed them off the most was when he ended George P. Bush’s political career, the groomed heir apparent for the Bush family. They have never forgiven them that.

Don’t buy the deep state-uniparty lie that says “Oh you have to support Cornyn/Murkowski/McConnel/Thune or else the Left will win! Don’t you peons dare think that you can vote for honestly conservative candidates!!!

Because "Ayatollah" is the term for the highest rank of Shi'a Imam.

You don't have to be the Supreme Leader to be an Ayatollah.

We just think you do because the news media spent the entire 80s calling Ruhollah Khomeini THE Ayatollah, as if he was the only one.

240 Yesterday we ( Michigan) had an attack in a s Jewish temple, and because it was within walking distance of where I live, it seemed more horrible to me than usual. That sounds horrible, but I just mean that the attack a month ago in a jehova witness church was horrible but far away. This was close. I had already been avoiding all news, and have stayed away from even Ace because I needed to. This morning, however, I turned on the local news and heard them saying what caused this young man to attack a temple. They said he had had multiple family members in Lebanon hurt by attacks. I was appalled! How does that justify driving into a child care facility?? No Jewish people or Christian's ever block streets to pray as the Muslims in Dearborn do- in spite of having numerous mosques in their neighborhood. And those thoughts led me in a dark path. Just as antwar demonstrations are anti war, I think Muslim Alla is the anti christ.

U.S. Central Command has confirmed that four of the six airmen onboard were killed in the loss of a KC-135 over Iraq, and reiterates that the incident was not due to hostile or friendly fire. The search for the other crew members continues. In a statement, CENTCOM provided the following details:

“At approximately 2 pm ET on March 12, a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft went down in western Iraq. Four of six crew members on board the aircraft have been confirmed deceased as rescue efforts continue. The circumstances of the incident are under investigation. However, the loss of the aircraft was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire. The identities of the service members are being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.”

297 Pete Hegseth GUTTED the Agency in charge of limiting attacks on schools, hospitals, and civilians before the Iran War. Jen Psaki points out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's actions on gutting the Civilian Protection Agency in the Pentagon, in charge of limiting attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure. In light of the new reporting on the bombing of a girl's school in Minab, Iran, this brings up new questions.

I don’t need an agency to know that dropping a cruise missile on a school full of little girls is wrong.

Sadly, some do. The agency would have been able to identify that it has been a school since around 2017, that the Intel of it being part of a military compound was outdated, etc. Tbh I think they did it on purpose. But im bitter.

He said we weren't going to follow those silly rules of war in that embarrassing speech to the Generals.

I read that there was a double strike on the school, so more people were killed when they hurried to find their children. It’s time for Hexit.

This is not accurate. Of course, dispensationalism has many flavors and variations but I've known many over the years and none even closely resembled the Iranian nonsense. Christians in my evangelical circles support Israel for Biblical reasons (e.g. Genesis 12:3) and quite aside from religion or theology for moral reasons in that they're one of our best allies and certainly one of the more decent countries in that region of the world. None of us want to bring on Armageddon

Problem for Iran is that Khameini Sr. had command presence--a framed picture of his son has little command presence. And the IRGC making all the war command decisions based on prewar instructions makes it worse. Quite a bit of evidence that the remains of the civil government has fled to Mashhad in far Eastern Iran which is about 11-12 hours away from Teheran. So the IRGC is running the show with an out of touch civil government.

It is sort of like the waning days of the Turd Reich. Adm Karl Donitz was the last one standing so that is who surrendered and he wasn't in the Berlin kill box surrounded by the Soviets.

409 Couldn’t sleep well thinking about the Stratotanker mishap. Most of my flight hours in refueling were in KC-10 and a few in Hercs (refueling HH-60’s with drogues off wings is pretty scary at night) but had enough time in 135’s to dread flight hours in them. Their boom operator had a very uncomfortable position lying in the tail while flying the boom. Maybe they changed that in the upgrades. The new Pegasus is luxurious in comparison. But the number of 135 SQ still flying is astounding to me. Another part of military modernization neglected in past decades.

I can’t imagine the “rescue operations” are more than recovery operations, But a miracle would be nice.

Crimson Desert is a new single-player computer game that... Might not suck? (WCCFTech)

People who were in on the early tests are raving about it, and the recommended specs are a welcome return to normalcy. You do need 150GB of storage - SSD mandatory - but apart from that a five year old Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB of RAM, and a mid-range Radeon 6700 XT should be fine. And that's the recommended hardware; the minimum spec lists a Ryzen 2600X processor from 2018, and a Radeon 5500 XT, a low-end graphics card from 2019.

Nice change from games like Borderlands 4 which perform poorly even with a 9800 X3D and an RTX 5090.

It's also coming to the PlayStation 5 but there's a small problem there: It's a 150GB game and the maximum capacity of the BDXL disks the PlayStation uses is 100GB. There's a 48GB day-one download you need to install before it will run.

16 Garry Rafferty died in January 2011 from severe alcoholism. Prior to this, while in the middle of complete alcoholic chaos he released his final album, Life Goes On, in November 2009. It is a mix of religious music and contemplative originals. To me it is a clear statement that he knew he was dying and this work would be likely his last. During 2010 he spent living with Enzina Fuschini until November 2010 when he was put on life support due to liver failure. The final song from Life Goes On is Silent Night and was arranged with multi layered vocals, mostly if not all his, and paired with a sparse droning horn accompanist. He will always be one of my favorite composers and performers.

42 Evening and morning for all on this Friday the 13th! Hey, it's a Friday, so it's still the consummation devoutly to be wished.

Like you, Warai-otoko, I've found these 13ths to be lucky, or at least no more unlucky for me than a Monday the 17th, to pick an example out of the air. I've always understood that Fri. 13th's bad rep came from two ideas: that Jesus was crucified on a Friday, and that there were thirteen diners at the Last Supper. (Amazing how people can connect wildly separate ideas -- like peas rolling around on a plate, in the immortal words of Lord Peter Wimsey.)

>>My main issue with them is price. They are pricey.

Pricey compared to what, garbage wintel laptops that have half the build quality and half the life expectancy?

At the end of the day when you buy a Mac laptop, what you are getting is a well built machine, with a well thought out, non annoying OS that hasn’t changed its essential look, feel and operation in 40 years, running Unix under the hood, that’s going to last you, a decade or more.

You cannot say that for any wintel laptops.

You can also run Windows on a Mac, seamlessly with parallels.

So you don’t even have to give up your windows software if you switch.

Now a MacBook Neo is not going to be able to run a vm of windows 11 well, but the option will be there.

The Neo might be the biggest disruption in tech since the iPhone.

And it Linux Subsystem is very limited.

Try the Neo.
If you like it, and it will last you for several years until the SSD is full and it slows down, you can always go for an Air or Macbook Pro.

If you don't need the screen and keyboard with the laptop you could always try a Mac Mini (for the same price as the upgraded Neo) and hook it up to your existing setup.

I'll have to replace my 2017 model iMac eventually, and I still don't know if I'll go with a Mini or laptop when I do.

>>You're right except for those applications that can't run on Linux without a translation layer, like Photoshop for example.

You can run windows seamlessly in Parallels, I run Photoshop, Autocad, MS Project and Visio in my Win11 vm.

In fact, Parallels has a coherence mode that integrates the Win11 vm environment into the Mac environment, you don't even know you're running a vm.

If you're simply talking about being on a pure linux os system like Arch or Mint, then yeah, Wine Sux, Virtualbox sux.

Actually the best vm subsystem on linux is QEMU which runs virtual machine of Mac OS, that works flawlessly.

If you want a Unix/Linux environment and be able to run windows seamlessly as well, then get a Mac.

I have used both throughout my career. Macs are superior - long ago, in a galaxy far away.

You can get the same performance from a PC for thousands less. I haven't had a problem with my Dells breaking down, but for one that had a main processor go - which they replaced for free.

And for me, the main draw for Macs was the stability of the OS and software, which is long gone. The damn things crash constantly.

They're fine as consumer toys/light office use for people who love the convenience of the ecosystem for integration with their other consumer-grade toys.

But the days of Macs being competitive for industrial use are in the rearview.

Gordie Howe Bridge tolls - beauty, eh?

Gordie Howe Bridge announces toll prices significantly lower than Ambassador Bridge, Detroit-Windsor Tunnel

The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority has announced toll prices for the upcoming Gordie Howe International Bridge.
The new bridge connects I-75 in Detroit to Highway 401 in Ontario. The Detroit Regional Chamber called it “the most consequential infrastructure project in the state.”
The Gordie Howe Bridge is owned by Michigan and Canada, but is being paid for almost entirely by Canada. While the bridge does not have an official opening date, it is still expected to open to traffic this spring.
On Wednesday, March 11, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority announced both the toll prices and Breakaway, a toll discount program that allows vehicles to pass through toll lanes without having to stop and pay.
With Breakaway, the toll for passenger vehicles is less than half the current price to cross the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, both of which raised their tolls this year.

AI is asshoe

Sam Altman admits AI is killing the labor-capital balance—and says nobody knows what to do about it

Speaking at the BlackRock Infrastructure Summit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tackled the growing public skepticism surrounding artificial intelligence, acknowledging the warning from President Donald Trump that AI is facing a major public relations problem. Moreover, the tech executive validated widespread anxieties about the future of employment, admitting that the traditional balance between labor and capital is shifting drastically.
Addressing the current backlash, Altman noted that AI has become a widespread scapegoat for corporate downsizing and rising utility costs. “Data centers are getting blamed for electricity prices hikes. Almost every company that does layoffs is blaming AI, whether or not it really is about AI,” Altman explained, recalling his recent warning that some companies were engaging in what’s called “AI washing,” in blaming layoffs on new tech regardless if that was the reason for those layoffs in the first place. However, while some of the immediate blame might be misplaced, Altman confirmed that the underlying threat to traditional employment is grounded in reality.

New research shows over 90% of gamers find playing with AI-powered NPCs to be "enjoyable and rewarding"

New research conducted by the University of Bristol and developer Meaning Machine shows that gamers enjoy playing with AI-powered non-playable characters.
The study comprised 68 people – 31 male, 31 female, seven non-binary – playing the studio's murder mystery game Dead Meat, in which users are tasked with interrogating suepects. The investigation showed that 95% of study participants found the experience enjoyable, while 97% found playing the game to be rewarding.
75% found that Dead Meat allowed them to "express themselves or make meaningful choices". University of Bristol researchers say that all the above sentiments remained true across the different types of games that were in the study.
One sentiment expressed by participants was how the AI-powered NPCs in Dead Meat allowed for freedom of expression.

My girlfriend de jour got her rich Dad to give us passes to the loge seating at the venue. As such, we had reserved parking and an exclusive entryway. At the door I instinctively hid my bottles of booze underneath my coat. Our usher spied my liquor and said "Let me carry your luggage sir." And he did and took us up to our sky box.

The other normies were getting their weed and booze confiscated and pitched into a dumpster.

51 Actually on topic of AI NPCs, there are two (or three) gaymes that come to mind.
Fenris Wolf / Vox Day, "Rebel Moon" and "Rebel Moon Rising"; apparently the bad guys were good at reacting to player strategy, and could recalibrate. Ahead of their time for the late 1990s where enemies were generally stupid and/or scripted.
"The Hobbit". The other characters would... wander around the (text-adventure) set. Unlike the thief in Zork, the NPCs could get stuck in parts of the map you couldn't get to, which made it impossible for you to progress. I guess it's... like real life?

I have golfed a few holes that did just that. It is maddening. There is a course in West PA called Avalon Field Golf Club. Used to called New Castle Country Club. It's old. Built in 1921 by A.W. Tillinghast, who if you are familiar with golf architects, he's pretty famous. Anyway, several green's on that course do evil, maddening things. Beautiful course, very hard. Just keeping the ball on the fairway is a challenge. The terrain is very Western PA. Lots of ravines and trees. Blind shots all over the place. It's madness! Plan to golf there again this summer!

55 Owl concert going on outside! Barred owls around here, usually they have nice regular hoots when they’re active. But when two of them get into the same tree, or trees right next to each other they start what can be described as shrieking, squawking , and almost barking. It’s a terrible racket!

The court unanimously sided with the NRA, saying the conduct violated the First Amendment.

She joined the Trump administration in October 2025. Rogers openly criticized European countries shaping laws to fight misinformation and disinformation online. She accused Germany of importing “barbarian rapist hordes” and suppressing political dissent in one post on the social platform X."

I'm a fan of their first three albums, their self-titled first album, 'Get Your Wings', and 'Toys'. All solid.

Funny thing about their song 'Dream On'. When it first came out, it didn't chart. But after later albums, they rereleased it and instant hit.

60 100% correct about March 13, 2020 being the last normal day. That day we were sent home from work and told to bring home 'something' you could do remotely, because we were going to 'experiment' with working remotely.

I did not come back to my office until August that year, for one week, and was basically considered a hero for doing so. We didn't come back en masse until years later, and we are now permanently "hybrid" and "hoteling".

I never realized it was Friday the 13th until I went back that August!

Hope tomorrow does finally really break the spell, but I'm keeping my hybrid silver lining and you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands!

More or less. We were scheduled to host a conference for 100+ people on Thursday of that week.

The day before (Wednesday), our Chancellor sent word to all faculty and staff that all in-person events were cancelled and we were to work from home.

We had to pivot from hosting a conference on Thursday to hosting workshops on Friday to train faculty how to teach their classes remotely. Somehow we pulled it off quite well.

It meant I had to get Internet at home (*gasp!* you say -- how did Wolfus ever survive without it???), and a smart phone so my boss could reach me (*double gasp!!!*).

So mid-March 2020 was when I joined the twenty-first century. Kicking, screaming, and grumbling, but I joined.

I recognize that brand name! Not sure what brand I had at home. I know I bought a Radio Shack receiver, you know the kind, with the fake but beautiful wood casing and the brushed aluminum front -- before everything in audio started looking like Darth Vader had designed it. I had some good speakers, JBL or Advent, and a JVC cassette deck/recorder.

A burglary in Sept. '83 did for the receiver, turntable, and cassette. I know I replaced them, but can't recall the brands. Not high-end stuff, but good quality.

Interestingly, Belloc viewed Islam as a Christian heresy, simplifying Catholicism by denying the incarnation and Sacraments.

Hillaire also accuses the Reformation as a heresy in a general sense because it broke the unified authority of the Papacy charging that Calvinism leads to the rise of nationalism and competitive capitalism.

Which is interesting because Calvinism is what allowed 9 billion people to inhabit this earth due to competitive capitalism that made all the things due to a strong work ethic and a desire to create and achieve.

Up until then, the world population was pretty flat-lined due to famine, poverty, hunger, war, etc.

Islam, OTOH, is the exact opposite of Calvinism and intends to destroy everything.

The affluence and freedom of this world was brought about by the Printing Press, Gunpowder and Calvinism, and will be destroyed by Censorship, the Sword and Islam.

164 Speaking at the BlackRock Infrastructure Summit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tackled the growing public skepticism surrounding artificial intelligence

AI, or in this case the sort of LLMs we call AI, has the potential for significant issues...

The immediate one is it places a lot of white collar work in jeopardy. The latest stuff, like Claude can write everything from fancy reports to actual software pretty well.

The larger problem is it opens the door even further for EngSoc style history changes. This is sort of the wikipedia problem writ large where if a false statement is created in the source of truth most people use you can make most people believe a lie.

Get a second opinion to make sure there are no torn ligaments and such. If that is so the steroid could hide the pain short term.

I've been a Pioneer man since buying my first official "hi-fi" piece of equipment in the fall of 1982, the SX-4 receiver. Admittedly, it was the bottom end of their newest line, but it was all I could afford on my Burger King minimum wage at the time. I soon acquired the CT-6R cassette deck, and the PL-4 turntable, all of which were well used until a storm took out the receiver and turntable in '86. Replaced with the SX-2300 and the PL-L-30 linear tracking turntable...which is still on my stereo cabinet to this day. I've since upgraded to the Elite line for the receiver, though (currently the VSX-LX103)

AC/DC always hovered *just* below the metal line, but they did have their moments when they went over the line. The back in black album was great, and it happened right at the perfect moment of the British metal invasion when actual metal bands were releasing iconic albums of that time. Judas priest's British Steel, Black Sabbath heaven and hell, Iron maiden's Iron Maiden, and a bunch of others. Before the back in black album they had a few heavies like the song Sin City. There were songs that were just heavy enough, kinda dancing on the line. AC/DC was always a heavy rock band, maybe not metal, but damn close enough.

Talk to a physical therapist as well, or ask for a reference. Once you get it unfrozen you are going to have to get some mobility back into it. Even if you get home exercises, they will help.
You might also consider a chiropractor because your neck and back are also going to be out of alignment.
Also, hotpad.

And the dead were 3 song hacks. At the same time AC/DC songs were actually only a few chords. Very first band I was in out of high school played a shit ton of AC/DC, and I never had to sit down with the albums to learn any of the songs. I just listened to them in the car while driving. They did follow a certain pattern. Very easy stuff, but it sounded good the way they did it. I think it was Malcolm Young who said past the 9th fret was the dusty part of the neck. lol

I've got a bad feeling we're going to see a lot more attacks. Many people seem to have already forgotten we had an Afghan muslim attack in DC against Guard troops not that long ago. The pace of attacks seems to be increasing.

263 Belloc, Chesterton, and their cohorts also advocated something called "distributism" as an alternative to both laissez-faire capitalism and socialism.

Near as I can figure out, their ideal scenario was for widely-distributed private property (to put it in modern terms, no "too big to fail" entities, or to put it in Biblical terms, "But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.").

Now, I can immediately see some problems with that... mom and pop telephone companies aren't gonna give you a global internet, and there are of course other economies of scale. But it's interesting, and I hope to learn more about it.

There is certainly something to the view that when a "private sector" organization gains too much power, it starts looking a lot like a government.

Nah. In Jerusalem, we relatively don't shelter much. However, last Shabbat we had to shelter during our mid-morning meal. Pup and I took our whiskey glasses with us downstairs.

Our pups in the center of the country have to shelter more often but for the most part they are currently staying in an apartment with a safe room where our grandkids sleep in. So they don't need food in there.

Now, up north is having constant incoming. If we would be there in our vacation home, I'd stock the safe room with some food and drink. Otherwise I might get the SADS.

I think there's a law on the books defining 'the militia,' something like able bodied men ages 18 to I'm not sure what.

The trick would be arming just American men, rather than muslims or Democrats.

Just try finding that photo of Obama now. It won't be easy. If you do find it, it will probably be surrounded by articles claiming to "debunk" his one-finger Muslim salute.

But, it was there.

No. From what I have been able to gather it was used to get her pay up to what she was asking when she started, about 2 months before me. I heard it was found out through an audit and they are actually asking for it back from her. I have only two facts right now.
1. There is a shift differential.
2. I don't get one yet work the shift.

336 Hi JQ

Nothing for me tonight, thank you. (smile)

Out of curiosity I did a search on 'JQ'. I found "JQ International (JQ) is a Los Angeles-based organization, not a single synagogue, that fosters inclusion, community, and support for LGBTQ+ Jews and their allies."

I originally thought JQ might be something like 'CQ' which in the early days of radio meant a 'general inquiry' to any stations that might be able to respond. If you transmitted CQDX it meant you were trying for distance. The amateurs may still use it for all I know. I'm pretty sure we have one or two ham radio types among the horde.

With that I'm out for the night.

343 Life has been *less than stellar* here lately, but not terrible. Still have a mooch on the couch.

BIL uses "I'm deaf!" as a crutch, an excuse to not be self-reliant. Also, I think he's not 'all there' mentally anyway...

Took him to a behavioral health organization the other day, and told them everything I know. They interviewed him with me there to (try to) interpret, as there were no ASL interpreters available that day. There are very few resources in this area for the deaf.

Anyway, they said they would research possibilities & programs, based on info we gave, and we go back next week to find out what's available. I told them BIL *MUST* move out at end of next week. Period. And that he will be "on the street" at that time if something else cannot be found. Even a homeless shelter will do at that point.

Yeah, well they never spent 93 hours assembling a bike from original parts from multiple sources with yang poon shit filling in the gaps. Nothing on this bike was ever part of this bike. The frame, trans, and front end were the only things, and all of those parts needed restoration. forks needed new tubes and dampers, the frame went out to a frame specialist for $2100 worth of work. Trans had to be redone. The engine started with cases that the idiot who owns it bought, the 2 halves were from 2 different engines, so they ended up with $1200 worth of work at a machinist to make the 2 halves line up. He had me disassemble an entire engine I built him last year to put all of that stuff on these cases he bought. The yang poon D-rings that go on the valve covers (pans) were made wrong, so the motor wouldn't fit in the frame because they were hitting the seat post. The yang poon rear brake drum was made wrong. Everything had to be fitted for this bike.

No. We could purchase at an employee-only store, though. Big discounts, but mostly "seconds" for one reason or another. There were other goodies too. Gub cleaning kits and supplies, various glass and mounting hardware, t-shirts & coffee cups...

I loved looking around the room, seeing all the product-- pallet after pallet-- and thinking: This stuff is worth more than money!

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.

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.

90 The definitive Automat movie is that one with Ray Milland. I can't think of the name, but the one where the millionaire throws his wife's mink out the window and ?? Jean Arthur? Maybe she was in it too. Very good movie. Well she catches it and now has a wage slave job and eats at the automat but not enough money to pay, and she meets Milland, who is also broke.

Get yourself a mini-mill, make a 'universal bushing' or two* and pay the ATF's $0 tax! Like trigger groups the barrel bushing would be the registered part that you can attach home rolled cans too. Do it all above board of course. It is intended to cut costs, not circumvent regs. Because retail is still too fricken high. Granted titanium cans would be pricey homemade or not.

*I think there are two common barrel thread size, and the big one for 50 BMG.

A week at a time, with two days off, then repeat. Wife, sons, and I lived off post, and going home after each shift was out of the question, so I slept in the battalion aid station between shifts.

The punchline: the barracks I patrolled had a bier vending machine, 2 DM a flasch (roughly equivalent to a 22 oz bomber). Kept me from going stir-crazy.

205 Reading in the previous thread the What If when the assailant has a gun and you only have a knife.

What I didn't see:

#1 Control The Weapon

then go to work with the knife.

Actually I would be pounding the crap out of the attacker's face to disorient once the weapon has been put under control. Use the handle of the knife as a way to break bone.

Then you can go all butcher shop - but if you have the firearm under control and the perp disoriented, in effect the firearm is yours and if still operable, that is now your primary weapon.

(Ho 6:2) so for in 2033 AD, will be the "two days" and the Millennial Kingdom is to be the third "day".

Roman Catholics look to 2033 as Symbolic Anniversary for Celebration and Reflection

Rick Warren is targeting the date for Global Evangelization where everyone will have heard the Gospel in their own language. (Apparently he hasn't read Col 1:23)

Its the Rapture Kooks who are almost all exclusively Evangelical of the American Religion who missed out on the 1988 Rapture and the 2012 Mayan Doomsday, and are too impatient for Isaac Newton's 2060 AD Second Coming (using 2 Peter 3:8 logic with Daniel 12:7 and Charlemagne's crowning 800 + 1260 = 2060).

267 The fetish of date setting is also human. Look at Al Gore.

Date setting is great if you are planning a vacation or retirement, but is counter productive if planning for end of the world scenarios.

On the surface you might claim that, but any scrutiny you wouldn't. For example, in the statement above, you would read in John 1:1-3 "Through him [Jesus] all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made"; Colossians 1:16 says "by [Jesus] all things were created... all things were created through Him and for Him"

So did the Godhead make all things (Gen 1:1; Acts 17:24) or did the Father who you claim, or did Jesus, as the NT writers say?

Doctrine would state that the Father is the Source, Jesus is the Agent and the Paraclete as Executor.

Protestants left out all sorts of things, but at least they got the NT correct.

Argue all you like, but the Bible was set by the 4th Century, until Martin Luther came along and chucked out a few books. Not sure that was called for, honestly, but the books he threw out didn't jive with his own personal theology.

So, there's that.

I categorize Baptists as Fundamentalist, not Evangelical, since they're more concerned with being Scripturally correct than "seeker-friendly." My authority is just personal experience as my family moved around a lot growing up, and also changed churches between moves.

In addition to Evangelical and Fundamentalist churches, I also attended a Pentecostal church, and eventually ended up Traditional (Roman Catholic specifically, but I include Orthodox in the type). I never attended a Mainline Protestant denomination, so I don't know if a further distinction would need to be drawn within that group, or if Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Lutheran, etc. are all close enough to the same.

- Corruption Flume

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.

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.

Two aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely.

This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.

Secret Service agent talking about Trump,
"Trump RUINED me for this job. Not because he’s difficult - but because he’s the OPPOSITE. Trump knows my NAME. Every other President called me ‘agent.’ Trump calls me by my actual name. 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? After Trump remembered my KIDS’ names, how can I protect someone who won’t even learn MY name? After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how can I go back to being treated like FURNITURE? Trump RUINED me.

We had a package scheduled for delivery today.

FedexStupid delivered it to the wrong address in the wrong town.

We tried to contact Fexex Stupid and they said, "well, there is a picture of the house where we delivered your package. We told them wrong town and that is not our house.

The problem is you can't talk to a real person, it's all AI shit now.

202 I keep wondering about that - all those jobs they say will be replaced. Gonna have to have somebody step me right through that. So far, all I have seen is customer service representatives replaced by AI, and I have not had a good experience with the result of that even once.

=======
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.

If you're behind them you jam it into the neck and punch forward, according to SAS knife fighting doctrine. Femoral arteries, liver, abdominal aorta - though you REALLY have to know what you're doing to hit the abdominal aorta. According to an old USMC knife fighting manual stabbing up into the crotch was taught for ambushes.

Seems like the throat would be the surest way to take him down quickly, but I am not a knife fighter guy.

If you can get the artery.

Stab up from the stomach, just below the ribs, left side, get the heart; that's my guess.
Like, the Romans conquered the world with short stabby swords.

But, there's that "brain can live 90 seconds without O2" so, I don't think there is a quick knife kill for a guy hopped up on adrenalin.

279 Its best to deport them all and burn every mosque down to the foundation. Its the most peaceful of all solutions. Why? Because they can't help themselves, and sooner or later they'll pull a Beslan, and then the gloves will come off. Americans will lose their shit, play cowboys and muslims, Vlad the impaler, conan, etc, and shoot through any and all that stand in their way to get at these fucks until nobody is left to complain or protect them. You don't want to see those days, yet its on the horizon. Best to rip the bandaid off now before you lose the whole arm. Get them out of the fucking country before real shit happens.

Of course I've never had millions of dollars, but I wouldn't spend thousands on a bridle or a saddle just because Becky Hart used it to win her World Endurance championship. although I can sort of squint and see it for "this is the guitar that my favorite very famous musician used for all those concerts" way more than for just ordinary stuff that some celebrity owned before they died.

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.

Well yes, when you are young and rising talent, it's perfectly okay to see much older, wealthier men and even steal them from their wives.

But when you are old, it's creepy and wrong. Who and whom, same as it ever was.

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.

And the answer is NOT because he had a black surrogate father. Its because he's a popular hollywood figure.

This is also why Roman Polanski gets a pass. And on and on

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.

232 I am about as "middle class white guy" as someone can possibly be.

And literally the only times I ever hear the n-word is when I am around black guys.

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!

237 As a movie, I always considered Reservoir Dogs as superior to Pulp Fiction. PF has a lot if memorable scenes and it is a better production, but RD has better dialogue, better characters, better story line, and you can see that as a director he is having a lot of fun exploring different techniques.

To me, RD is one of my 100 top ten movies.

This bit bothered me, and I think flawed the whole scene.

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 almost cathartic just watching Tex and the two girls get beaten to hell, mauled, and fried to a crisp.

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.

UPDATE: There was never a cardboard ayatollah. The video was fake. https://t.co/s2k4bBcvu5 pic.twitter.com/iMHvszqoD3

Update to Old Dominion story: Yes, it was yet another Muslim Cultural Enrichment Officer.

@BillMelugin_
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."

18 willowed:
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 27, of Sterling, a former member of the Army National Guard, was sentenced today to 11 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, namely the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
_______________________

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.

So why was this guy out of prison? Who gave him the early release? Was he on parole?

I still wish someone, anyone, would put a turban on an amputated leg. With florals. Then Ace could light it on fire.

And, before I am accused of being mean (and I am),my own father had an amputated arm from a farming accident and joked about it as well when he could. Especially with kids. 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.

He was a WWII Marine Sgt who fought in Peliliu, and that's the way we roll. He taught me to be sarcastic or else it is in our DNA.

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.

You gotta laugh about these things as best you can.

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.

My father was a force. Nothing could stop him. I didn't stop him, and he loved me. To be encouraged to be crazy is freeing for children. He'd be mad at me like a summer thunderstorm and then gone. He died a peaceful and happy man, surrounded by love.

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.

I suppose it may work for some them, but I wouldn't be too eager to teach a 7th century religion which inspires johad on the regular to a bunch of young, unemployed, men with addictive personalities.

They've been doing that in the Middle East for centuries and it doesn't seem to have helped most of the men there get on the straight and narrow path to peaceful co-existence and a love for life.

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.

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.

It's hard to stop the truth from getting out there with the internet. Once my kids were old enough, I have always told my kids that cowering is not an option in a shooting situation. They can run or they can fight, but cowering is a death sentence.

269 246 From what I've read traditional Muslims don't think much of the Nation of Islam. And really, why should they?
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 Markowicz
@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.

🚨 SLEEPER CELL ACTIVATED? Old Dominion University shooter ID'd as Mohamed Jalloh � former Army National Guardsman, convicted in 2016 for attempting to provide material support to ISIS.

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.

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.

86 BBC, 'Nineteen jailed over deadly Moscow concert attack'

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.

Then you have the two booger-eating retards in NYC, who threw two fully functional TATP fragmentation bombs, neither of which exploded.

Incompetent. So far, we've had that going for us. These don't appear to be the trained terrorists who walked over the border 2021-2025. Enthusiastic amateurs so far. They count on Allah making it all work, and it doesn't.

It had to be done in Iran. No one can ever convince me otherwise after 47yrs of our entire marriage with "death to America" just hanging there and waiting.

CNN's little show today? I think, of a black burka freak was the go sign. I did not look and unsure if it was speaking Farsi or jibber jabber or English. I give them none of my time.

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 realize I get irritated at odd moments even when normal.

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.

143 Speaking of ignored near attacks. My town in Central WA had an episode on the First of this month. Greek Orthodox church, during evening service. A man and a woman, married, entered. 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...

It is, in the US, a choice. Race is not a choice, but culture through religion? here... is.

149 People wonder how the supposedly anti-religious left can ally so easily with Moslems. A Venn diagram of the two groups would show them to be sympatico. Infidels must be killed, or at best, kept around as Dhimmis. Taqiyya is promoted. Every action. no matter how evil, can be justified. 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.

Posted by: nerdygirl at March 12, 2026 03:39 PM (0Htd1)

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's the lowest dose possible for a few days, honey. I'll be ok.

In 2023 when I had a tiny drunk playing bad bagpipes with every breath I took, I would have inhaled Draino to stop it so I could sleep. It is not true wheezing, it is internal, heard with a stethoscope, which I did not bother to listen with. Crackles, death spiral, whatever you want to call it.

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.

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.

99 So the fake outrage over "why are we wasting millions feeding our troops steak and lobster?!!" is, somehow, even worse.

Turns out, it was planted because the two CA vendors lost their exclusive food procurement contracts with the military.

Hegseth opened it up to more vendors--nationwide--and they are losing the bids.

Just another example of how the Democrats have used every part of the federal government to prop up the blue states.

101 Democrats are blocking DHS funding precisely because the terrorism threat is so high. They know Biden allowed scores of terrorists to cross our borders, and they're hoping those terrorists will act. The greater the bloodshed, the more they'll blame Donald Trump.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the rabidly anti-American party would take active steps to harm America.

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.

Posted by: Oldcat at March 12, 2026 02:44 PM (8avO+)

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.

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.

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.

There are at least three kinds of fraud in government-run health care. Oz appears to be talking about fake enrollees, not non-performed procedures or inflated charges.

So, yeah. If 25% of enrollees are fraudulent, the total fraud has to be north of 50%.

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.

The Chicken Tax is why we no longer have small pickup trucks, longbed pickups and why most new trucks sold in the US has four doors.

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.

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.

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.

117 I shared yesterday that this is literally my job. Look up Switchblade for an example.

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.

There's the obvious reason for the prices going up now, but not to be overlooked is the usual seasonal shutdowns of some refineries to switch over to seasonal "summer blends"
This has the effect of choking supply and raising prices every single year other than the covid year, so there's that.

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.

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.

It means there is no unified command now, too many are dead and the ones who remain are all speaking for themselves with no coordination. In other words they’re essentially leaderless, and running on autopilot.

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.

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.

................................
Come out of your nic and face me like a man or trans! Yes, I am on some roids for a few days.Big deal! The house is getting clean! My husband is treading lightly.

I also don't have silver hair. Under the blonde highlights it appears to be battleship grey with some white streaks. I don't intend to know for another decade.

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.

I remain unclear if I look much younger or much older and don't ask. I was told the same thing in my 20's onward, so I prefer to think I look younger. Don't make me ululate with my uvula.

251 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.

If you can imagine it, I'd wager someone somewhere is working on it.

However, since virtually everything they manufacture they stole from us -- and given how embedded they are here with spies and the like ... maybe we can't take that chance.

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.

A secret oil-for-weapons deal between China and Iran has been exposed by Reuters. Beijing raided its own People's Liberation Army inventory to fast-track delivery before the war started.

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!

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.

It doesn't matter what Trump and Hegseth say.

The Military Industrial Complex will overrule them just like they have overruled them in every theater in the world. Just look at Venezuela.

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.

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.

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.

A former Chicago White Sox minor league pitcher, Isaiah Carranza, has filed a federal lawsuit alleging the team coerced him into receiving the Pfizer covid vaccine in 2021 and that he later developed a permanent autonomic nervous system disorder that ended his career.

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.

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....

We desperately need to, otherwise there will be more exploding boat attacks such as the two seen yesterday. Iran still has a great deal of harassment capability left on the straits, and the only way to eliminate that will be to eliminatev ALL docks and port facilities in the area, no matter how small.

Also, although we say “no boots on the ground” as a mantra, there are four small islands in the Straits that the US needs to occupy, in order to truly control the shipping lanes. As long as Iran controls them they will be attack platforms against us.

I mean it took a violent muslim revolution to seize power from the previously-"free" Persian people in 1979.

I think it's hardly fair to say the average Iranian never wanted freedom. It might be fair to say they're not willing enough to fight the barbarian muzzies over it, though.

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.”

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

That is stomach turning. I suppose the MAID drones have a checklist for who they approve quickly which I am sure comes down to 'producing money for the government?' discourage and delay the request. 'Costing the government money?' Approve them quickly and facilitate the death so they don't have time to change their minds.

233 Are there even any Communists in Iran? The one and only good thing the mullahs did was kill off their socialist allies after they took power.

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.

I don't think we'll know for sure until the time comes.

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

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.

EU regulations on nuclear power:

- All nuclear plant names must be culturally sensitive for 'migrants'.
- Local native girls must spend a minimum of two hours, daily, acting as recreation for 'migrants' working on Euro-Power.

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.

Reports say the armored corps base in Ahvaz, Iran has been destroyed.

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.

Well it certainly LOOKS like a major strike.

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.

What if, by not hamstringing us the way we've been limited for 60 years, he shows the world that America's military might is unmatched? Against an enemy the entire free world and their own country wants destroyed.

What if he does that while risking everything during an election year? What if for once America completes a job and goes home the clear victor? What would that look like? How would it make you feel?

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. But I honestly don't know if I could stop at a quarter and may some day walk out with a full wagon wheel of cheese under my arms.

======

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.

200 With regards to the Hormuz... one issue that isn't being talked about a whole lot is the reluctance of crews to man a ship that's going to transit the Strait. They're sometimes (mostly) not, umm, highly educated or savvy enough to understand the "real" threats are fairly minimal at this point.

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

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at March 12, 2026 10:39 AM (RcOs3)

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.

217 [Interesting:]

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.

I'm trying to argue that Iran's ability to wage war is so degraded that they're suicide bombing in the Persian Gulf and have no ability to project power in the Strait anymore.

They don't have the missiles. They may be trying with drones. They can't try with mines since they don't have the ships to do it anymore.

They're essentially Somali pirates now.

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.
