The Left Found a Way to -- Get This -- Politicize the Artemis II Launch and Denigrate Space Travel

Houston, we have a problem! Eagle-eyed NASA fans were left stunned after spotting an Artemis II commander entering his tablet PIN in plain sight on the launch livestream. Viewers wasted no time trying to guess astronaut Reid Wiseman's code after he unlocked his device 19 minutes before Wednesday night's launch. Wiseman, 50, grabbed his stylus and entered the four-digit code in plain sight, making it impossible for viewers to miss. "I appreciate you wanting to get people interested in rocket science, but maybe don't broadcast that the PIN to unlock the tablet on the rocket is either 9393 or 3939," one viewer wrote on X.I smell an overpowering whiff of Aksually. Here's a little rule that idiots don't know: The more determined you are to broadcast that you are Superior on a free social media platform generally acknowledged to be a sewer for the unemployable, the most certain the rest of us are that the only things you're superior to are jack and squat and Jack left town and Squat died five years ago "with" covid.

Yes, Crazy Candace is Flat Earth Curious, and has been for some time. Space is fake and gay.
Meanwhile, I tune back into NASA's live mission coverage stream, and what do I hear? More space toilet tech talk. The Orion crapper is a bitch, looks like. It may well be fake and gay.

It was interesting that (to my eye) it took about 20ish seconds for the rocket to get at the level of the commercial air liner.
Just a reminder of how far it is to escape our atmosphere, and even more to escape our orbit.

Hell yes!!!! In fact, when they do their first orbit of the Moon, that colonialist Canadian Astronaut is going to have to make a Land Acknowledgement to the original moon landers (the United States of America) or he gets tossed out the hatch.
In fact, any future moon landings by countries other than the US will require a stipend tribute (there will be a collection dish) as well as a heart felt Land Acknowledgement to the original occupants. Those from India will receive a memo reminding them to pick up their trash. Chinese missions will receive a memo warning them not to steal anything.

Get a piece of plywood that is larger than the strike zone.
Drill several holes in it, bit enough for a Softball to pass through. Number them / Color them...whatever. Make the kid pitch to those holes until he can thread those needles at will.
Then rotate 90 degrees, rinse and repeat.
Repetition. It builds muscle memory.

As Part of JD Vance's Anti-Fraud Task Force, Feds Raid Fake Hospice Fraudsters In California
Remember earlier stories about, what, 89 "hospice care" "businesses" operating in a ten square block area of LA? Hospice care is care for the terminally ill. It can be expensive, but the care is brief: Most people who enter hospice care die within two or three weeks. That's not the case in the Hospice Care Businesses being raided. Astonishingly, after eight months of care for the terminally ill, these Modern Miracle Factories have achieved a ninety-seven plus percent survival rate. And I'm not making that number up, that's from the Fox video report below the fold. Even though these Resurrection Mills are bringing the dead back to life, the anti-science thug JD Vance wants to arrest them instead of giving them all Congressional Medals of Super-Science! NYP:
The Patriot Oasis
@ThePatriotOasis
🚨BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says his Fraud Task Force is NOT wasting time after the California raid this morning. VANCE: "Our task force isn't wasting any time cracking down on fraud." "This morning in the LA area, federal law enforcement is taking down fraudsters who stole $50M+ from Americans by defrauding our healthcare and hospice systems."
The home of a husband and wife who own a Southern California hospice accused of committing $7 million in fraud was raided by FBI agents in conjunction with Health and Human Services early Thursday morning. The raid is one of several that took place as part of a massive federal effort to address widespread fraud in the state in coordination with Vice President JD Vance's Fraud Taskforce -- and the California Post was there. In dramatic fashion, the couple, Amelou Gill and Gladwin Gill, who operate St. Francis Palliative Care in Anaheim, were arrested at their home by an FBI SWAT team as authorities sawed through the metal front gates of their property and called with loudspeakers for them to come out. Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was on the scene as well and said the couple created a hospice in their daughter's name and bilked millions of dollars from taxpayers. "Since 2022, there have been allegations, but for four years, what seems to be typical in California, nothing was done," he said. Their hospice had a mortality rate of just 2.3% over the last five years, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Dr. Oz told the California Post that CMS has suspended "hundreds" of hospice licenses in California. "In 10 weeks we're getting close to what Governor Newsom did in four years," he said. ... Dr. Fariba Javaherian is a registered dermatologist, but according to CMS billing data obtained by The Post, she is associated with 63 hospice facilities across California either as a medical director, attending physician or in some other capacity.Apparently there are millions of terminally ill patients dying of Problem Acne.
Remember, the very very smart Smarties of the Left insisted that JD Vance's posting as anti-fraud task force commissioner was some kind of political setback, because it's a big waste of time because Fraud Is Fake. The Science (TM) says so. While the reality is 100% the opposite. I'm not a JD Vance booster any longer, but conservative voters are keen to finally have fraud investigated and punished after seventy years of politicians promising that to us, and they will reward Vance for doing the job that until now American politicians just wouldn't do.
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) registered with Dr. Javaherian, a unique 10-digit number given to individual health care providers, was used for 1,662 unique patients across the 63 hospice agencies and appeared on more than 6,000 claims that billed $35,816,331.
Following The Post's investigation, CMS revoked Javaherian's license to bill Medicare and suspended the license of at least 16 hospice agencies associated with the dermatologist. "Dr. Javaherian's white coat was a costume," CMS Administrator Dr. Oz said. Javaherian is not accused of any wrongdoing.
BREAKING: Federal agents are carrying out raids across Southern California against healthcare fraud.

The lower-level frontmen, yes. But this is almost certainly all run by organized crime at the top. The LA hospice care fraud is reportedly run by the Russian and Armenian (!) mobs.

Trump just pardoned a proven hospice fraudster, so I guess he's okay with it.
I am once again asking Newsom to grow a fucking pair and start using the full force of California’s Democratic supermajority to crack down on Silicon Valley’s collaboration with MAGA. Vance is a Thiel puppet.
I don’t give a shit about the mean tweets your interns wrote, Gavin. I want to see you drive a stake through the heart of MAGA’s social media manipulation strategy. I want to see the state of California seizing Palantir and Twitter offices

BREAKING: Swalwell NDA Sexual Abuse story heating up FAST!
My anonymous source is reporting a major media outlet is talking to THREE women this afternoon; one has receipts and one is a former Kamala Harris staffer.
My guess is that Katie Porter is trying to hustle Swalwell off the race. Presently two Republicans are taking up the top of the "jungle" primary. Which means no Democrats will be in the runoff.
If Swalwell sinks below 10%, Porter stands to benefit from whatever women are still supporting that flatulent sleaze (and from simps). This might put her in second place which means she'll win the runoff.

I don't disagree. Coaches and $$$$ has destroyed youth sports, mostly. The pressure on these kids to perform and younger and younger ages so coaches can rack up wins and better jobs at the cost of kids is heartbreaking to me.
No one should be allowed to throw specific pitches until their Jr. or Sr. years of High School at the earliest.

sadly the support from the pundit-sphere and GOP party politics is not "who will be the best person for the job," but "who will be the best person for MY job."
Vance is not connected to old money and old power centers, and most of the big punditry is deeply tied to those.
He IS tied to new money and tech bros, and he IS charming and dedicated, and he did grow up in one of the disposable fly-over states IS the son of an addict who's drugs came through a network overseen by cartels, the CIA and enabled by foreign wars.
He has the wrong friends and the wrong relatives, and as usual they do not call him white trash because he is disposable, they call him white trash as a pretext for disposing of him.

Here's the other defense:
Dr. Javaherian claimed she was a victim of fraud and that her NPI was stolen through HospiceMD — an electronic medical records and software platform — and that she had raised the alarm many times.
So the HospiceMD guy weighed in: HospiceMD does not manage individual user accounts, and it responds to all fraud allegations. HospiceMD hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing either.

Get a piece of plywood that is larger than the strike zone.
Drill several holes in it, bit enough for a Softball to pass through. Number them / Color them...whatever. Make the kid pitch to those holes until he can thread those needles at will.
Then rotate 90 degrees, rinse and repeat.
Repetition. It builds muscle memory.
Same approach as hitting off a tee.

Breaking: Multiple Reports That Trump Has Told Pam Bondi That Her Time as AG Is Coming to an End
Update: She's been fired now?
Trump posted that Todd Blanche will be acting AG. Posted by: Duke LowellThe claim is that he is pre-firing her, I guess. Telling her to prepare her resume and make up a reason why she is voluntarily leaving the job. Is this true? No idea, of course. Poltiico:
Bondi on the brink? By JACK BLANCHARD with DASHA BURNSThe New York Post:
... WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT: Dasha last night confirmed those buzzy NYT and CNN scoops that Pam Bondi will likely soon be OUT as attorney general. Bondi beached: A person close to the White House tells Dasha that when Trump met EPA boss Lee Zeldin on Tuesday to discuss last year's California wildfires, Trump also discussed the potential of tapping him for the AG role. (CNN and the NYT last night both named Zeldin as the most likely successor.) A second person familiar with the situation tells Dasha that Bondi will be out imminently. Epstein strikes again: Rumors of Bondi's departure are hardly new, but it seems the mood has shifted against her in recent days. The AG has been under pressure since last summer over her ill-fated handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files inquiry, with even close ally Susie Wiles admitting Bondi "completely whiffed" her response. Trump has also long been frustrated over the DOJ's failure to successfully prosecute his enemies, and readers will no doubt recall the infamous "Pam" message that Trump accidentally posted onto social media last year. Zeld-IN? By contrast, Trump has repeatedly showered praise on Zeldin for his work at the EPA. Zeldin worked as a New York attorney in his 20s, and as a House representative during the first Trump administration became known for his hawkish support of Trump's various legal battles and pursuits. Non-denial denial: A statement issued to CNN and the NYT shows Trump voicing personal support for Bondi. "Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job," the president said, which is hardly a guarantee of her future status. Bondi accompanied Trump to the Supreme Court yesterday morning and was in the audience for his address to the nation last night. Zeldin was also there.
President Trump told Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday that she would be out as head of the Department of Justice, a source with knowledge of the conversation told The Post on Thursday. Bondi was at the White House to attend Trump's address to the nation on the Iran war, and earlier had accompanied the president to the Supreme Court to watch oral arguments in a major birthright citizenship case. Fox News said Trump will replace Bondi with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as the interim attorney general. Trump is expected to soon make a formal announcement. The White House did not directly address the report, but pointed The Post to a quote from the president praising Bondi.So Fox is confirming it. Unexpected, at least to me. Update: Sorry to push unvetted info, but a commenter posted this and I'm going to repeat it even while declaring "I don't know if this is anywhere close to true."
Trump's reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI's efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.I'm still trying to figure out where this comes from.
A person familiar with the situation tells me that Pam Bondi will be out as AG imminently, confirming scoops from @CNN and @nytimes.

Bondi was friends with Ben Crump and helped sink the country into racial despair for Little Trayvon. Bad on guns too.
Not sure what part she played in the Epstein Op that was intended to overshadow Trump's Third Term and take him down for good.

This is probably hitting close to home for Trump - remember he was arguing for libel reform a while back.
He is generally right, but how you would actually encode this in law to be more restrictive of outright lying about public figures without giving a Dem administration another tool to arrest dissidents would be hard to do.

re: bondi, i'm rather surprised it took so long to replace her. she's been an extremely weak link since day 1, and her incomprehensibly clumsy handling of the epstein documentary rollout caused permanent damage to trump's electoral coalition that never has been nor can be ameliorated. while i don't really care that much about trump's coalition, her oversight, such as it was, of the attempted lawfare-vengeance prosecutions of e.g. letitia james succeeded at nothing more than making a martyr of some of the most reprehensible legal officers in the country.
the woman is a empty-bleached-headed amateur and should never have been elevated to her position, much less tolerated for so long.
to tie her foibles in to the spice, the epstein debacle unquestionably provided prefidious fifth-column types with ample ammunition for their divisive conspiracy mongering.

More to the point the media and general population can only focus on one thing at a time. Trump knows how to move a needle and make the media play a tune.
At worst it dilutes Iran as the Only Story In The Room as it now moves to a phase of wrapping up in our favor anyway. This will let "Iran" reset in a new narrative frame of Trump's choosing.

None of it matters. You could resurrect Daniel Webster and make him AG. Wouldn't make a lick of difference. He may have beat Satan, but he wouldn't beat the DoJ or the federal judiciary - they run this country, not the other way around.
It's why I haven't gotten worked up about her, and won't about her successor. Trump should just leave it vacant. For him, an AG is about as useful as naming a Secretary of Windmill-Tilting.

"Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900.'
'We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.'
Trump said that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as acting attorney general until a permanent nominee is picked. "

Trump is going to need a wartime consigliere after the midterms.
Posted by: Frank Barone
He needs one now, to whip the rest of the GOPe into shape so they don't get slaughtered in the midterms...which is what they're doing their best to achieve without making it too obvious. I shared a link earlier this week that showed this midterm has the most incumbent Republican not running for reelection since the Great Depression.

Leaks to the NYT primarily come from the CIA and other Deep State Traitors:
"According to Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a limited hangout is 'spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further'."

It's not who they have fighting, or how hard and smart they fight:

The judiciary.
And until they have someone willing to lie, cheat and steal to win, none of it matters.
Which is why Trump needs to stop with the defense of all these lawsuits and get his "Judge Roy Bean" to start firing off ever and ever more ridiculous injunctions.
Pre-empt them. Post-empt them. Up-empt them. Down-empt them.

It's not who they have fighting, or how hard and smart they fight:
It's who they are fighting.
The judiciary.
And until they have someone willing to lie, cheat and steal to win, none of it matters.
Which is why Trump needs to stop with the defense of all these lawsuits and get his "Judge Roy Bean" to start firing off ever and ever more ridiculous injunctions.
Pre-empt them. Post-empt them. Up-empt them. Down-empt them.
Just get a retired judge and go whole hog.

Never a more correct, accurate and essential post—it’s Trump’s ass, our ass, and the Constitutional USA that are on the line.
Senate ‘confirmation’ of a Judge Roy Bean type becomes irrelevant if Trump co-opts /brutalizes one of the RINO cucks keeping the Senate in pro forma session into dropping the pro forma charade ball and allowing a recess appointment of Trump’s AG.

IMHO, the hold-up is islam. It's almost impossible to deal with make a deal with people who believe that god's will is that the win or die trying.
So, a couple of things need to happen:
1) We arm Iranians who want the gov't members ended and dead. If if if we can find enough Iranians who will fight for themselves and their own country.
2) We need a figurehead that the Iranians people can get behind, right now all they have is an amorphous blob of "someone better". That figurehead is probably the Shah of Iran, assuming he's up to the job.
3) Not sure this would work but pit the Iranians nationalism, culture, and history against the invader colonialist moslems with Zoroastrianism if that's even still a thing. Probably not.
Posted by: naturalfake at April 02, 2026 01:50 PM (iJfKG)
Ask yourself who wants that job AND is confirmable...and you'll find almost no one who will be better than who we had...as mentioned many times, Bondi was the best AG we had in 50 years b/c Rs NEVER have good AGs, and she was definitely in the decent category...she didn't DO anything against what we wanted (now, did she do ENOUGH for what we DID want - probably not...but that NEVER happens)...
She also oversaw the cleanout of the buried in zealots from numerous agencies below her...and did it with no lawsuits and losses...

She couldn't. The "J6 template" worked because it happened in DC where the populace and the judiciary were all on board with sticking it to Trump people.
The folks who waged war on Trump do so from the safety of blue enclaves. Where they won't get indicted, or the charges will be dismissed, or they'll be found not guilty.
The belief that things will be sunny if only we have the right face in the manager's office is just going to lead to more unhappiness.

It is true that a Navy and Air Force can't occupy Iran, but it is also true that we really don't need to occupy Iran if having a stable state there isn't our military objective. If we slag the power stations, port facilities and oil fields, whatever happens on the ground isn't gonna be exported worldwide.
If some rump IGRC crawls out of the ashes, well we can sail right back with a few carriers and bomb them again indefinitely.

Hitler’s Edifice Complex - Timothy W. Ryback
He wanted it big. He wanted lots of gold, lots of marble. He wanted visitors awestruck by his architectural expansion of the country’s symbolic seat of power. “They should sense the strength and grandeur of the German Reich as they walk from the entrance to the reception hall,” Adolf Hitler told his chief architect, Albert Speer, outlining his plans for an extension to the old Reich chancellery...
The new annex, connected...by a marble corridor hung with crystal chandeliers, was part of Hitler’s ambitious plans to align the Berlin cityscape with his vision for the future of the country. Hitler wanted a Triumphbogen, a triumphal arch, twice the size of the Arc de Triomphe...He wanted an “Avenue of Splendor” for military parades. “The Champs-Élysées is a hundred meters wide,” Hitler told Speer. “We will make our avenue twenty meters wider.” A planned “Hall of the People” was to be topped by the largest swastika on Earth.

Crimes have to be prosecuted in the district they happened. The DOJ can't just randomly pick a district and try a case.
This is why it is ironically good news they raided Mar A Lago. That's why a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida is hearing evidence about the conspiracy against Trump instead of the case being heard in DC.

She wasn't loyal enough to actually fire anyone huge or jail anyone big enough to scare the dems into doing the people's work and not theirs.
I don't care how loyal she is. If she fired moles and traitors in house, great. But none of that translated to indicting all the vile people we've been screaming about. The people who will impeach Trump and build a gallows for him the second the midterms swing their way.

Ham should know, since her husband died in a bike accident when her children were 2yrs old and one two months before birth. My own SIL had to deal with the sudden cardiac death of her husband (my dude's brother) when her boys were 4 and 3yrs old. It is hell on earth, and like MK Ham says, no one should have to go through this depth of grief. And certainly no one should judge Kirk as Owens has. Made worse by her "platform" to trumpet her delusions.
Regarding Bondi: I don't know why she did or didn't do as people wanted her to. If she did, in fact, tip off SwallowingWell, I will not defend her at all. I did not think she was "in over her head" in the beginning, but I guess she was.

I like to think that Buckley was too smart to do that, and would have kept them in line.

And somehow the DOJ can't argue effectively that Sanctuary City policies and statements, breaks the aiding and abetting law.... so Judges keep throwing the DOJ lawsuits against cities and states out.

Sure, but did the case presented by his side look solid or weak? That is the question.
Posted by: Oldcat at April 02, 2026 02:31 PM (8avO+)
The "Birthday Book" Outreach (2011): The email outlines how the bank could use Epstein's personal relationships with these men to secure them as "Ultra High Net Worth" (UHNW) clients.
The Problem for Dimon: This contradicts his 2023 testimony that he was unaware of Epstein's activities. Investigators argue that "the top floor" of the bank was actively profiting from Epstein’s "black book" long after his 2008 conviction.
The "Wall of Cash" Email (2013):
An internal JPMorgan email discussing Epstein as a "top-tier referral source" for the bank's "Wall of Cash" program. The email allegedly notes that Epstein was a primary bridge to international dignitaries and intelligence-linked figures, specifically mentioning that "compliance concerns" regarding his past conviction should be managed to keep the pipeline open.

The Intelligence Link: This is where John Brennan’s name frequently surfaces in the 2026 inquiry.
and #3
The "Moscow/Russian" Date Email (2010):
An email from Epstein to a high-ranking contact (recently linked to the broader "Clinton network" in the files) regarding a meeting with a "clever, beautiful, trustworthy" Russian woman.
The Significance: This email is being used by the Trump DOJ to prove that Epstein was acting as a "broker" for foreign assets. If Brennan or Dimon knew Epstein was facilitating meetings between US elites and foreign nationals, their "doing nothing" moves from negligence to a national security failure.

Saudis had been playing army in Yemen for a while, but there is a whole desert between that front and anything important. Not seeing it as a factor.
Qatar is sitting there on its little peninsula and is pretty vulnerable if they get too sporty. The smart move would be to grab any Iran money and play good teammate.

Nobody in the area liked Iran, they just feared them. If we abandoned the anti IGRC war they might revert to that, or bomb them themselves.

Defining "countries" hides a bit of nuance - the Sunni/Shia split.
Iran is majority Shia, and is the only Islamic country which is. Iraq has a large number of Shia, but is still majority Sunni. The first civil.war within Islam traces back to that split.
Trying to see which countries would ally with the US papers over that difference, and doesn't indicate much in the longer term.
With the exception of the Saudis, who view Iran as an existential threat to their claim of the leadership of the Muslim world, the remainder of those countries will ally with the US only on a temporary basis, and therefore cannot be counted on for much beyond press releases. But... when the kinetic part is over and we pull most of our forces out of the way, they will turn on Iran visciously.

Trump Promotes Douglas Murray Article Blasting Tucker Carlson as a Sharia-Law-Promoting Holocaust-Denying Backstabber
Ryan Saavedra
@RyanSaavedra
President Trump posts an article by Douglas Murray that highlights Tucker Carlson's extremism, embrace of Islamists, and America Last: The article is titled: "Deranged Tucker Carlson backstabs Trump" Several of the top lines in the piece include: -"While the president has advocated a strong defense of America's regional allies, Carlson has spent 100% of his time trying to turn the MAGA base against Israel and in favor of Islamist regimes." -"His podcast has become a remorseless roll call of Holocaust deniers, antisemites, Islamic extremists and World War II revisionists." -"While attacking Trump, Carlson eagerly softball-interviews people who love both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin." -"While accusing everyone else of being obsessed with Israel, Carlson has obsessed about nothing else. While saying 'We're not allowed to talk about Jews,' he has talked about nothing but Jews." -"This culminated in Carlson calling Trump's actions 'evil.' ... From being Trump cheerleaders, Carlson & co. are trying to do everything they can to destroy the president."

In politics, it is often the people who you think have your back who end up stabbing you there. Nobody knows that better than Donald Trump, who has been stabbed in the back more times than Julius Caesar -- yet has still survived. This week, part of the noisy right-wing online podcast-sphere again turned on the president. Leading the virtual charge, again, was Trump's one-time cheerleader, Tucker Carlson. There was a time when Carlson was fully Team Trump.I don't think so. Fox had to release Tucker Carlson's texts and emails during the Dominion lawsuit and Carlson stated he "truly hated" Trump and couldn't wait for Comey and Jack Smith to take him out so that he'd never have to hear from Trump again. A lot of craven opportunists jumped on the MAGA bandwagon not because they supported Trump or MAGA, but because Trump represented a disruptive force that could break the ice of conservabot doctrine and reshape the right into something new. These opportunists -- these grifters, often actually white supremacists and Nazis and not just in the left-wing "this person disagrees with me so he must be a Nazi" way -- saw Trump's power to shatter old smug conservabot certainties and reform the pieces of the Republican coalition into a shape he preferred. These grifters did not support Trump's vision of what the re-made party should look like. They had a dark, extremist, and yes frankly Nazi/White Supremacist agenda. They just temporarily supported Trump because their goals equally relied upon shattering the old conservabot/neocon alliance. And they hoped that by sucking up to Trump, they could convince him that their totally-new ideas about white supremacy and anti-Jewish hatred should finally be given a try. (Like communism, Real Naziism has never been tried.) And even if Trump refused to bend to their will, why, as long as they were seen as close to Trump, they could emerge as his successors after Trump was term-limited and retired.
Carlson often appeared at Trump rallies as part of the warmup act.It is true. Meanwhile, Candace Owens has made it explicit and commanded her deranged, retarded followers to acquit the gay furry leftist murderer of her "best friend" Charlie Kirk.
But in the past year, he has tried to lead the MAGA base away from Trump and down a very dark path. Fortunately, the Trump base hasn't followed him there. The president's strong Middle East policy seems to have particularly deranged his one-time supporter. While the president has advocated a strong defense of America's regional allies, Carlson has spent 100% of his time trying to turn the MAGA base against Israel and in favor of Islamist regimes. His podcast has become a remorseless roll call of Holocaust deniers, antisemites, Islamic extremists and World War II revisionists. While attacking Trump, Carlson eagerly softball-interviews people who love both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Quite an achievement. Undermining While accusing everyone else of being obsessed with Israel, Carlson has obsessed about nothing else. While saying "We're not allowed to talk about Jews," he has talked about nothing but Jews. This obsession has culminated in a total derangement over the president's Iran policy. Carlson and other people in the right-wing podcast-sphere pretend to be confused by the president acting to stop the mullahs from getting an atomic bomb. At one and the same time, they say Iran was never seeking nuclear weapons. And that Iran has the right to nuclear weapons. They pretend the Iranians were nowhere near having a nuclear weapon. But that it would be understandable if they were. This culminated in Carlson calling Trump's actions "evil." And suggesting he has once again been manipulated by, well -- guess who? From being Trump cheerleaders, Carlson & co. are trying to do everything they can to destroy the president.
Candace Owens is now shamelessly declaring Tyler Robinson innocent.

210 As I mentioned, VA and the enormous outside donated funds are making a play for every female vote for the redistricting. What better way to AGAIN seal a VA election than to put out rumors that Trump is ditching or mad at EVERY high level female on his staff...
So, that's the play now with the VA election at 19 days to go and huge new early voting spots opening Saturday.
VA's 4 seats are a Dems dream...so they will do ANYTHING to get them...

I think they're whoring remoras and saw an opportunity to attach themselves to a very big fish. They milked the Trump Train that for all it was worth, and then saw new whoring opportunities as anti-Trump crusaders.

Same way that the Dugin-Bannon-Flynn-Fuentes-Owens-Tucker demoralization campaign for midterms is in full swing and aimed directly at those who 'think' they are rugged individualists that think for themselves.
Same with the Just Asking Questions to come up with absurd theories like faked moon landings, Charlie Kirk's political assassination done by whoever rather the leftist furry trannies, aliens, or whatever other conspiracy theory blaming Jews for every evil in the world is bullshit.

It is hard to tell because she has the skill of a psychopath in seeming to believe everything she says, even if it's a total lie. Psychopaths have that ability because they do not feel social shame and also have no moral code against lying. In fact, they like lying which is why they frequently grin while lying. The Duper's Grin --they get off on thinking they're superior to you because they told a lie and you believe it.
Psychopaths really screw normal people up. Normal people think that they can tell when someone is lying because they will appear awkward, uncomfortable, and nervous about being found out. Psychopaths do not feel that at all and so can lie with seemingly 100% conviction.
So I have no idea what this nasty whore believes or not.

Hamas has been wrecked. Hezbollah's been wrecked. Iran's been wrecked. They find themselves, amazingly, in the camp of their Arab neighbors for the first time ever. They're undefeated in yet another season of the conflict.
There aren't many enemies left for them to devastate, at least for the time being.
Sure, there will be mopping up for them to do - it's a big mess. But Israel won... sorry losers, you'll just have to choke on those sour "grapes" in your mouths.
In a year's time, most people will have moved on from "Buh Muh Jews" and they'll be shouting at an ever-shrinking audience about Jews who aren't in the headlines anymore.
Candace is probably in the best position, since she can always claim Xi Jinping had a butthole reconstruction after his gay affair with Trump, or whatever. But the others have sort of staked everything on the Jews.

wrong. Most of us had problems with him -- the open admiration of Putin, lying about Russia being economically advanced, just full-on communist ball-washing -- but we repressed criticism for the "hey guys we're all on the same team" bullshit reason you're now whining about.
At some point -- I think when he openly declared Hitler to have been the Good Guy in World War Two -- we decided we're NOT on the same team and so we do not have to suppress criticism just for the sake of politeness.
I know you guys are big on Hitler but normal, educated, moral people are not.

Tucker is getting booted off Fox (the whole thing with the Lawsuit.) He is speaking out for free speech and is getting throttled as much as they possibly can. Elon buys twitter. Things start to move. He offers Tucker a platform. Remember the millions of views his first video had on the new X?
What I am saying is that I have spoken up for Tucker for speaking out on free speech in the face of literal star chambers even when everything looked fucking grim. Elon and to a lesser extent him did a lot to open things back up.

We saw that in the miffs and lover's quarrels between Trump and Elon.
We have also seen that while Tucker may have been for free speech, other values he does not hold to so strongly. So he is using his free speech to advocate for the guys in Qatar and wherever. I think he has taken the old adage about being so open minded his brain falls out to that extent.

No, he very quickly got on the UFO train. And I started thinking at that time, what the hell is he talking about. So that made me wary and I paid less and less attention to him. Then he lost his mind over the Oct 7 crap, and began the Islamic apology tour, and I figured oh boy, he's just lost it. And he has dug in deeper and deeper. It's now his career.

Before he came out as a flat-out historical revisionist and scholarly punchline, I tried to listen to his Jonestown study, because it's a topic I'm interested in learning more about. Tried.

* UFOs
* The CIA killed Kennedy
* Churchill was really the bad guy in WWII and controlled by Jewish Capitalist interests (which is identical to Hitler's propaganda DURING WWII)
* Chemtrails are real
* FDR allowed Pearl Harbor to happen so that he would have an excuse to do the Jews' bidding
* You should shine red light on your asshole for some reason

I suspect that it is actually very common for people to be really right on one issue while useless at best elsewhere. Some of the best articles written on the braindead Ukraine policy under Biden were at Max Blumenthal's Grayzone (the outlet the chick works at who married Joe Kent). Then Blumenthal went to Iran and filmed literal propaganda in their missile museum and I stopped going to that site. I knew they were anti-Israeli, but the propaganda footage was a tell in the same way Tucker's UFO and "history of WW2" interviews were.

Not true. In fact, Tucker's obsession with Israel was one of the last wacky, clickbaity views he pushed. I had already had enough of him after the alien conspiracies, the conspiracies over who killed Kennedy, revisionist WWII idiocy, etc.

FDR actually did have a scheme to drag us into the war (against Japan). This is not new or secret info, it was published in the Naval Institute Proceedings back in the 1960s. A schooner was taken into service (but not actually commissioned) under the name Lanikai, and sent to the East. While she was on her cruise, Japan bombed Pearl. And she made it back.

Tucker values free speech because speech is how he gets paid. He wasn't gonna get a fat contract by a leftwing media source so he needed free speech so he could go it alone. But going it alone meant that he was actually free. Free to say the things that he wants to say. And, apparently, what he wants to say is Israel bad.

He has always been a piece of shit, and no my views of him have not evolved, why would they? He's still a smarmy guy on the take.
He’s a lying grifter. He sees trump is falling out of favor and wants to guide the next right wing grift. Unfortunately for him the right is so insanely good at grifting he has to compete with a ton of different factions.
Born with a silver spoon and it shows. (Heir to the Swanson frozen dinner fortune.) He craves attention and approval. He has no loyalty to the truth. Jon Stewart had him figured out 20+ years ago.
He was always awful, but he went from smarmy and annoying to utterly vile after 2016. He’s a white nationalist/ borderline Nazi.
He’s literally Trump if Trump wasn’t a moron with a narcissistic personality disorder. Very dangerous figure. Just because he is correct about the Iran War, it does not absolve him.

And he had this extra long pink silk(?) muffler that he kept flipping around (make your own call about that).

No it doesn't. I've been saying he's a cheesy charlatan for like 15 years.
It doesn't take a Nostradamus - just someone who paid any attention to Carlson in the many, many years before he did his next heel-turn to the MAGA grift, which he's since moved on from.
If you kept telling people someone's a piece of shit who can't be trusted further than he's been kicked, and then they do it anyway, and they get bitten, you SHOULD point out how credulous they'd been.

Bondi was friends with Ben Crump and helped sink the country into racial despair for Little Trayvon. Bad on guns too. Not sure what part she played in the Epstein Op that was intended to overshadow Trump's Third Term and take him down for good. A real useless waste of space and that's the charitable read. If she's gone good riddance but I'm not sure she's gone.

From GatewayPundit
Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General, according to Fox News.
Fox News reported that Pam Bondi met with President Trump on Wednesday night before his Iran speech.
Bondi has reportedly already flown back to her home in Florida.
The president has reportedly discussed replacing Bondi with EPA Chief Lee Zeldin.
On Wednesday night CNN and The New York Times reported that President Trump was mulling firing Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Epstein file release.
The New York Times reported that President Trump has been frustrated with Pam Bondi’s leadership at the DOJ.

If - at any point in his entire career - Carlson seemed "genuine" to anyone, it's because they desperately wanted to believe whatever happened to be spilling from his lips at that particular minute (it always changed a minute later).
This is the real problem - the Left has monolithic control of political and media institutions, and the Right is a completely unserved market. So they will believe literally *anyone* who says a few things they like at some point - even if he's a charlatan who's as transparent as a glass of pilsner.
They're just a pile of red meat for every hungry grifter.

Al Gore says none of the climate predictions were wrong, so let’s revisit the one where Florida disappears.
During one of his book tours about 15 years ago, he used to go to book shows and college campuses and do his speech, then he'd run like a scalded cat when it came time for the traditional Q and A session. The "moderator" would practically lick his testicles while explaining to the audience that Gore couldn't stay to answer questions because he had a vitally important meeting that he had to fly out immediately to attend. Same schtick on multiple talks all shown on CSPAN that year.

Candace Owens needs to be in a straight jacket and hauled off to a psych unit. For a change of meds or introduction of meds or electroshock therapy. Something. Her eyes scare me. In real life I'd flee from her at a grocery store.
I did my part yesterday and fought anti-Semitism on another blog. The raking woman has come back after her retreat from me, and now posting nature or dog photos. The other guy has not said much since yesterday when I defended Israel and Bibi.
My husband, when I tell him about this, thinks I am also nuts but basically harmless. I mean, no one else says squat to these Owens and Tucker wannabes comments so I do. Politely and with facts.

No, in his run, he won me over by proving to be one of the best commentors on national live media. I could really give a shit if you don't hold that opinion.
This is just a simplistic shame on you different from my suss, given we're standing in the aftermath of Carlson's decline.
Your observation does not match mine. He was very good at his job.
I really don't understand why people don't think people can decline or go off the rails. Why do you want to take more burden on just to say "See, I was right!"?
I really don't know what to make of Tucker now. But in the lead up to the 2024 election, Tucker toured stadiums and sold-out shows promoting Trump's presidency. I can't say objectively how much that did for Trump

The Morning Rant
If you were in New York City on Saturday during the third edition of the No Kings movement, you would have seen a smorgasbord of far-left groups aiming to sow the seeds of revolution in America. You would have seen numerous flags adorned with the hammer and sickle. You would have been surrounded by collectivist swag and literature for sale, including copies of The Communist Manifesto. You would have seen banners with socialist slogans celebrating depraved monsters like Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. Worst of all, you would have been inundated with chants like, “there is only one solution — communist revolution.” The No Kings movement is a sham. Far from a grassroots movement, it is a highly coordinated, well-funded network of far-left groups that seek to replace America’s founding principles.
And the left's useful idiots -- the blue-haired cat ladies, the septuagenarian hipsters with gray ponytails reliving their counter-culture youth, the ignorant 20-somethings who believe everything they hear, as long as it is in a reel shorter than 30 seconds -- they obediently rush out onto the street carrying preprinted signs, chant slogans from 3x5 cards, get their protest checks from the organizers, and rush home to tell their friends how powerful they are! It is a fight that conservatives find difficult to enter, precisely because we are not worker bees being directed by others. But enter it we must! Luckily we have the truth and 2,500 years of evidence on our side.

I'm betting only 20% of them are full fledged communists. They're paid to make it look like they're a bigger portion, but just look at how many of the same people were found at multiple rallies over the weekend.
They're loud and obnoxious, but would be put down quickly were an actual revolution to occur.
They shouldn't be ignored, however. RINO's and weak meat Congresspeople are EASILY swayed by these jokers because they're loud and obnoxious. Can't look bad on social media or the left wing news, you know.

The immediate answer to most of the tactical weaknesses the right has is that the left has a whole movement to do them.
This includes NGOs, government employee groups, and media outlets
I don't think the issue is really that we are too independent. I think the primary issue is that the left sees this as a priority and FUNDS it. Yes, mostly with stolen taxpayers dollars.
But why is there always some leftwing schmuck available to do whatever the left wants? Because they are paying for it.
Why do we often find there is no one to fight for right wing causes? Because we expect working people with families to do it in their free time.

One of the failings of our culture is that we tend to think other people are very much like ourselves. It can lead to trusting people that you should never trust.
Tribal cultures don't have that failing, but it's a much worse outcome overall.
Which is why we should be stamping out the tribal mindset that the left encourages and glorifies. It's the natural state of man, so it will be a difficult fight.

I don't think this analysis is quite right. Conservatives love being part of a collective....military organizations, sports teams, etc. And they aren't all gunning to climb the ranks and be the leader: on the contrary, some a happy to fill a subordinate role well and help the team succeed.
The issue, at least as far as visible activism goes, is conservatives strive for self sufficience, and don't have time to protest and agitate publicly unless things are REALLY bad. Leftist are often underemployed, nepo-babies, or old Boomers with plenty of free time and little purpose or fulfillment in life. They're easy prey to radicalized and motivate. Many are failures in life, and Leftism let's them blame some external force, and gives them a worth purpose in "fighting" it.

Biden had Americans imprisoned for Jan 6th with no trial and no convictions. Biden locked you in your home, forced you to get a brutal, deadly, untested vaccine and removed military personnel who didn't take said vaccine or just wanted to live life as normal as possible. Biden and Owebama jailed investigative journalists who spoke out against the totalitarian regimes.
But Trump is bad because he's done none of those things, secured the border, deported murderous thugs, removed men from women's sports and improved the economy by leaps and bounds.

On a similar note, if you look at the insane things they claim are true they'll tell you they are well verified and many, many reputable news sources back them up.
But if you actually look at them they are a bunch of various leftwing opinion outlets all quoting each other, going back to one "news" articles on a leftwing site claiming an anonymous source.

Leftist are often underemployed, nepo-babies, or old Boomers with plenty of free time and little purpose or fulfillment in life. They're easy prey to radicalized and motivate. Many are failures in life, and Leftism let's them blame some external force, and gives them a worth purpose in "fighting" it.

Disagree. I won't say there isn't any of that...but he has a high level of support because he's doing the things he promised to do. Imagine what would happen if he instead reversed course and opened the borders? And yes look what happened to Shrub's support when he betrayed the country on illegal immigration.
And yes compare that to Obama flip flopping on gay marriage or lowering the costs of insurance...

But if you actually look at them they are a bunch of various leftwing opinion outlets all quoting each other, going back to one "news" articles on a leftwing site claiming an anonymous source.
If you are on social media and receive "guidance" from the TDS-afflicted, you'll see that their postings are not their own and original in any sense. What they spew --.re-spew, really -- are incoherent posts created by someone else.
And yet, it is they who are the smart and thinking ones, and not you knuckle-dragging MAGAts.

Leftists are like Muslims in that they don't want freedom or individual thought. Freedom and individuality comes with responsibilities and accountability. Commies and Muslims don't want that. They'd rather be told what to do.
Give a leftist a slogan or sign, and they will chant the slogan and carry the sign. Without question. Some of them don't even know what the slogan means and don't care ("from the river to the sea ...."). Just chanting the NPC slogan is enough.
Sure, some of these people think communism is a way to seize power for themselves. But even then, the way to get power is to rigidly and mindlessly conform to a pre-planned ideology that permits no deviation.
Even the highest ranking members in USSR and Red China had to be very careful not to deviate from dogma even a little, or else they'd risk being executed.

There's the big difference. They are incapable of talking about anything except politics, so we must do nothing but talk about politics, too. No matter what the subject, sooner or later they turn it over to politics.
When she was three years old, our gDaughter had verbally expressed the idea of not wanting to receive a shot and, wouldn't you know it, the asshat son of one of my wife's friends opined, "She must be a Trump supporter." No, you fucking dolt, she's three and she didn't like getting shots. That was it; nothing else.

What does Ace call it -- a "Limited Hangout?"
Leaks to the NYT primarily come from the CIA and other Deep State Traitors:
"According to Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a limited hangout is 'spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further'."

HOLY CRAP! A fraud scandal is BLOWING UP at Newark, New Jersey schools
Over a quarter BILLION federal dollars surged to the district meant to address learning loss, but it had basically NO IMPACT
"This person received the no-show contract, and this person was a close friend of an assistant superintendent of Newark Public Schools."
Funds have flown to a "literary consultant," partly using federal dollars, yet 1 year later, "THE WORK NEVER BEGAN"
"Money is being blown on things that have little to nothing to do with student outcomes, academic improvement and student support! This is the TIP OF THE ICEBERG."
THIS IS INSANE! The fraud is everywhere. Bring on the prosecutions!

No, no... the fact that the DOJ was the most corrupted federal agency is irrelevant. The fact that the DOJ has to interact most closely with the corrupt judiciary is irrelevant. The fact that a good number of Assistant US Attorneys haven't been confirmed by the Senate is irrelevant.
Bondi is the sole problem. She, and she alone, is the only reason that anything bad happens in the world. Whoever replaces her will be super-duper awesome and have none of those issues. They be able to ignore the law like Garland did and the judges will be unable to stand before their power.

President Rodriguez has stated that this is hopefully a step for removing US sanctions on Venezuela.
Venezuela has been playing ball with the US, though there is criticism that she has not been releasing all the claimed political prisoners.

Disagree.
It's very simple for me:
Conservatives are Americans who love America (and "Progressives" hate America as a projection of self-hatred).
The vast majority of Americans love America and are heritage conservatives.
The only reason the country APPEARS to be half-communist is at least six decades of election theft, capture of the institutions (primarily academia and media), and the mass importation of likely 50 million illegal aliens and their anchor babies.

Once again, it's not up to her.
Prosecutions require a grand jury to indict. A grand jury who will be presented the case by a lawyer who was hand picked by the federal judges in NJ since the Senate cannot be bothered to confirm Trump's nominee.
Seriously, you'd be more angry AND have that anger more appropriately focused if you'd just stop following the crowd who think Bondi is the problem.

Very simplistic in nature; leave your _ whatever, whomever to seek inner peace & follow the values of Greater Good. 😬 (Primarily audiences of well educated, well-heeled gov. employees & educators voting quite liberal to keep the lessers from their paths. They continue.)
"For the greater good." Unitarism. Often No Kings Day creators and followers.
The concept primarily originates from 18th and 19th-century utilitarian philosophy, notably developed by Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) and John Stuart Mill, who aimed to maximize happiness for the greatest number of people. It has roots in earlier political thought, including Plato’s ideal state and Aquinas’s "common good," often used to justify acting for the benefit of society.
Take a gander at those ^ two in detail.
Unitarism & socialism intersect mainly through historical movements aiming for social harmony and worker welfare.
(Gifford Pinchot (1865–1946), an ally of Teddy Roosevelt, influenced by the concept of greater good, was the first Chief of the US Forest Service & two time PA Governor.)

Who are the shock troops? Old blue haired ladies and a few of their emasculated men. They are manipulated by young aggressive types looking to manipulate people for power and profit. If you think Mamdani loves communism for its wonderful attributes, think again.
But the blue hairs are dying off. The succeeding generations are more pragmatic and less interested in changing the world as opposed to trying to live their own lives - accept for college educated single women - who are working their ways toward total uselessness - and for whom society increasingly is trying to find a way to lock them in a closet somewhere.
Still danger out there. But I think they are in a tight spot.

Well then. As of early 2026, over 230,000 to 270,000 Ukrainians are in the United States under a form of temporary legal protection known as humanitarian parole. Since Trump has also been generous and has allowed the program to continue, I say let's shutdown. Especially considering that Uniting for Ukrainian allows federal benefits like SNAP and Medicaid.
And then, hopefully pursue Ukraine for all of its corruption and p*ssing through our $ and weapons.

Couple lives in a home that looks like a castle in California discovered to have 21 children, 17 children under the age of 3.
The couple is Chinese and 6 kids had been placed into other homes by the couple.
Clearly running a child trafficking operation

I suspect the Chinese nanny abused one of the kids so bad it was finally noticed by outsiders, and the police got involved. And then the can of worms started opening about the surrogacy sham the three of them are running.

Jesus and his twelve apostles shared (the Last Supper)
Jesus washed the feet of his disciples
He instituted the Eucharist
He predicted that Judas would betray him.
Judas left the meal to arrange the betrayal
Jesus gave his Farewell Discourse (John 13–17), including the new commandment to love one another.
After the meal, they sang a hymn and went to the Mount of Olives
In Gethsemane, Jesus prayed intensely (“Let this cup pass from me”
, while the apostles slept. He was then arrested by soldiers led by Judas.Posted by: Tonypete at April 02, 2026 09:51 AM (cYBz/)

Masterful painting of Christ's nighttime arrest.
Notice how Judas is "haloed" by the dark. His mouth which delivered his traitor's kiss is subsumed by it.
And even when surrounded by darkness and betrayal Christ's face is the most brightly lit.
Great stuff.

Subjects: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
We describe here, for the first time, a lower bound on the total number of fundamental constants required for a mathematical description of our physical universe to be complete. The answer is shown to be one. The formal arithmetized meta-mathematical proof of this is left to the reader.

Judas left the meal to arrange the betrayal
Jesus gave his Farewell Discourse (John 13–17), including the new commandment to love one another.

Excellent. Originally commissioned by the Roman nobleman Ciriaco Mattei in 1602, it is housed in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin.

Truth is, the "special relationship" was always a bit of a farce. Created by Roosevelt, who died, and Churchill who *loved* the idea of an EU as competition to the US and also got voted out which left the US on the hook as solo "world policeman".

Do Supreme Court justices leave any room to grow as far as knowledge of the law? Do they still study and read up as a doctor would? Or are they just Judge Dredd at that point?
The answer obviously is "no" for Justice Jumanji

After Judas Iscariot saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and tried to return the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders. Declaring he had "sinned by betraying innocent blood," he threw the money into the temple sanctuary before leaving to hang himself.
The chief priests refused the money, stating it was "blood money" and not lawful to put into the temple treasury.
The priests used the returned coins to buy a potter's field as a burial place for strangers, which became known as the "Field of Blood".

I grew up in Vegas in the 60s and 70s, and the funniest thing ever was driving from The Strip to Downtown and seeing a quickie "wedding chapel" on every corner.
The most famous one was one where you could be married by an Elvis Impersonator.
I also found it hilarious that Reno, NV held the title of "Divorce Capital of the World" for more than six decades, primarily due to its exceptionally lenient divorce laws which allowed "residents" to establish residency in just six weeks starting in 1931.

Kurt Vonnegut opined that what ticked off Judas about Jesus was Mary having anointed Jesus' feet with perfume and Judas protested that the money wasted on the perfume ought ro have gone to the poor.

The Morning Report — 4/2/26
President Donald Trump praised the United States military Wednesday night during a speech updating the American people on the conflict with Iran, but he offered no new details on the operations. Operation Epic Fury, a military campaign by the United States and Israel, commenced on Feb. 28 after attempts to negotiate a cessation of Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear weapons failed. During the speech, Trump said that the “core strategic objectives” of the military operations were almost achieved\(RELATED: Trump Halts All Strikes On Iran Power Plants Amid Negotiations) “As I stated in my announcement of Operation Epic Fury, our objectives are very simple and clear. We are systematically dismantling the regime’s ability to threaten America or project power outside of their borders,” Trump said. “That means eliminating Iran’s navy, which is now absolutely destroyed, hurting their air force and their missile program at levels never seen before, and annihilating their defense industrial base. We’ve done all of it. Their navy is gone, their air force is gone. Their missiles are just about used up or beaten.” “Taken together, these actions will… crush their ability to support terrorist proxies and deny them the ability to build a nuclear bomb,” Trump said. “Our armed forces have been extraordinary. There’s never been anything like it militarily. Everyone is talking about it. And tonight, I’m pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion.” Trump also paid tribute to the 13 Americans killed during the military operation. As of Wednesday evening, seven American military personnel had died from hostile action in Operation Epic Fury, with six others perishing in the crash of an Air Force KC-135R tanker. Trump also blamed Iranian attacks on shipping in the region for high gas prices, saying their actions proved the necessity of the military operation. “Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise in gasoline prices here at home. This short-term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict,” Trump said. “This is yet more proof that Iran can never be trusted with nuclear weapons. They will use them, and they will use them quickly. It would lead to decades of extortion, economic pain, and instability worse than we can ever imagine.” Trump also warned Iran’s current leadership to accept the terms he laid out, saying that if they did not, the United States would target Iran’s energy infrastructure. “If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously,” Trump said. “We have not hit their oil, even though that’s the easiest target of all because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding, but we could hit it and it would be gone, and there’s not a thing they could do about it.”In the run-up to the speech, there was some speculation that the President was going to declare victory and then cease operations. Considering the President has deployed a third carrier to the theatre and is demanding the Iranian's adhere to a ceasefire, and they've responded by flipping a Farsi firebird in his direction, I'm not so sure that Peace is at hand, as old Henry Kissinger used to say about Vietnam.
The other huge story was the President's truly historic visit to the SCOTUS during testimony about the abomination of the utter bastardization of the 14th amendment he has attempted to end via executive order. Yes Kentanji Brown-25 Jackson is an imbecile but a very dangerous imbecile because of her anti-American racialist fueled leftism. Worse is the wishy washy two-faced Amy Coney Island whitefish Barrett.
The progressives’ threat that “millions” of people could lose citizenship amid legal chaos seems intended to give swing-voting judges an excuse to kill Trump’s order that bars citizenship to illegal migrants. The prospect of chaos was raised by a swing-voting judge. “It could be messy,” said Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a conservative who has voted with progressives.When even the Wiseass wide-ass Latina sounds logical by comparison, maybe it's a good sign we might witness a miracle that birthright citizenship will at long last be tossed.

A close ally of Iran’s, which prompted China to facilitate its membership into the anti-American BRICS coalition, Beijing has vacillated between condemning the United States for engaging Iran militarily and gently suggesting that Iran’s disruptions of commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which disproportionately hurt China, should cease. . .

Migration Advocates Threaten ‘Millions’ May Lose Status if Supreme Court Allows Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order to Stand (Please God!!!- jjs)

A SCOTUS decision to uphold birthright citizenship as currently applied
would communicate that it means to follow in the footsteps of successive presidential administrations and Congresses, selling Americans’ jobs, land, and promises of freedom to the highest bidder, or simply giving them away to foreigners who cross the border illegally.

From Day One, I got a bad feeling about her. She was quick to state that she would not necessarily rule (conservatively) just because she was nominated by Trump. The writing was on the wall, imo.

The enforcement provision just enables Congress to create legislation supporting the Amendment's purpose.
The issue here is nominally one of definition/meaning, which the Executive is generally free to interpret until Congress gives direction.

IN 2016 Trump ran on investigating and if tried and found guilty imprisoning Hillary Clinton for her myriad, real crimes.
The FNM and GOPe told us investigating a lead opposition political was the mark of a banana Republican EVEN IF the crimes were real and well documented.
Then after installing Biden they immediately started investigated Trump for a series of questionable and at times outright fake crimes.

There are several open source sites on the web and accounts on X that track this. It has been trending down, suggesting Iran's exhausting their massive supply of weapons and unable to replace them.

Within hours of launching four astronauts on NASA's Artemis 2 mission around the moon, its crew reported a glitch in what may have been the most anticipated new creature comfort of their Orion spacecraft: their space toilet.
"The toilet fan is reported to be jammed," NASA spokesperson Gary Jordan said during live mission commentary. "Now the ground teams are coming up with instructions on how to get into the fan and clear that area to revive the toilet for the mission."
Norm Knight, NASA's director of flight operations, told reporters here at the Kennedy Space Center that the malfunction was due to a controller issue on the toilet. But NASA confirmed astronauts could still use the space commode to poop, just not urinate, though engineers were working to restore it to full service.

This isn't an attack on you just ....
When people say the media doesn't have power, this is the anti-proof.
They've so saturated the coverage on this, so overwhelmed all discourse, that pretty much everyone, even conservatives are in a gloom the issue is lost.
This is not the court that created gay marriage--this is the one that overturned Roe.
This is not the court that denied TX v. PA--this is the court that overturned Chevron.
Look at all the recent rulings: None of those point to a court afraid to make major rulings, even against decades and decades of "it's always been this way."
To grant cert, there had to be 4 votes.
4 who say the current reading is wrong (or needs clarified).
(Unless you want to assume one of the 3 liberals wanted to risk the Court hearing the case?)
4 votes in favor of something less than now; unlimited automatic citizenship.
3 in favor of keeping it the same.
1 who will rule it must change but the EO is wrong.
1 who will rule it it must change but not retroactive.
=
6 votes ending BRC + new EO needed

Parents sue Texas and win in US Supreme court (maybe even getting Russian consulate involved) and remove the newly minted US citizen back to Russia. Was the child ever 'subject to the jurisdiction' of Texas?

He votes to spite Democrats bc he like Trump is fueled by bribes and hatred. We need to stack the courts and make these maga traitors irrelevant.
The argument that things are different today so we can ignore the Constitution would not be a good precedent to set for preserving the 2nd Amendment.
Alito may vote against trump on this one. At one point, Alito was stating a position favorable to the ACLU's case. The ACLU atty misunderstood and pushed back until Justice Barret chimed in to clarify what Alito was saying. Then, the ACLU atty relented and agreed that the Alito statement was correct.
I’ve said this before on this forum and I will say it again: I know people who know Alito from church. Every single one of them says he is and always has been a pompous asshole. I repeat: these are people who know him from CHURCH.

About a month later, her body was found by hikers on the side of a highway in American Fork Canyon. Aime was bound, beaten and without clothing. Authorities said the evidence indicated that she had likely been kept alive for several days after her abduction.

Since the US is a net exporter of hydrocarbons, then yes, the US is benefiting a great deal from this. Who’s is being crushed? Europe, China, Australia, New Zealand, Cuba. Russia would be benefiting but the Ukes are doing too good a job at destroying many of their critical facilities.

Both side agree those here lawfully and not specifically excluded are citizens.
All the questions, and all the moaning of doom from the right, focus on why there were so many questions on generally, "should grant citizenship to all these--other--broad categories?" which has the implied "who are here legally but not a specifically excluded category?"
See, sometimes, it's the questions that get the least debate before the judge that decides the case:
No one actually argued illegals should be citizens; it was all focused on those who have some sort of legal status to be here.
It was all on other categories not specifically addressed by the 14th:
A says, we draw the line at lawful residents.
B says, we draw the line at merely being here. (Pretending it doesn't mean illegals as well.)
But all the questions were: "how do we determine how someone is lawfully here, "subject to the jurisdiction thereof?"

They only wear the diapers when they can't use the toilet. When suited-up in pressure suits for launch and entry, and during long space operations that require full attention of all the crew.
This because the diapers are heavier and require more of the precious storage volume than the back-up plastic bags.

From above, 'Ketanji Brown Jackson Needs To Be Impeached.'
For the October Term 2025 (2025–2026), Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's law clerks include Cal Barnett-Mayotte (Penn), Jenny Choi (Yale), Maia Cole (NYU), and Gabrielle Dohmen (Chicago). These clerks assist in reviewing cases, legal research, and drafting opinions for the 2025–2026 term.
AI Overview references cite 'Original Jurisdiction' by David Lat & the Univ. of Chicago Law School Post. (There may be changes; do the research.)
Note: David Lat writes legal industry news & appears on Substack. His 'Supreme Court Clerk Hiring Watch: Meet The October Term 2025 SCOTUS Clerks' was very insightful, explaining Gender, Feeder Schools, Feeder Judges, and even the process Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has applicants for her clerkships follow.
As Lat indicated in one of his articles, there have been changes in what law schools were heavily represented in the past v. current time on the Court.
>U of Chicago News, Oct. 2025 'Seven UChicago Law alumni clerking for Supreme Court justices'
The alumni serve seven justices at the nation’s highest court.
Posted by: Trying to fuhgeddaboudit at April 02, 2026 10:23 AM (NFX2v)
"After retiring from the court, a justice may continue to employ a law clerk, who may be assigned to provide additional assistance to an active justice or may assist the retired justice when sitting by designation with a lower court."
🤷♀️ Hadn't known prior to now that a retired Supreme Court Justices may maintain chambers, a staffer, and a law clerk at the Court. (Under tradition, retired justices are authorized one law clerk, who is often shared with or "loaned" to active justices to assist with the Court's workload.)
As of 2026, this was reported to apply for Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer, who retired in 2022, as he works on lower federal court cases and/or legal writings. (Note: Retired justices do not vote on Supreme Court cases.)
The point is to pay attention to the selection of their law clerks with their stellar educations, work experiences and prior employment. They function as key advisors, screening thousands of certiorari petitions and conducting extensive research to support the Justice's workload and decision-making.

General naturalization requires being 18+ years old, a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) for 5 years, passing English/civics tests, and showing good moral character.

- AI can clone open source software in minutes - and that's a problem. (TechSpot)
Open source software is protected by copyright law, and that depends on the exact expression of the code. It's easy for an AI to make sufficient changes to dodge copyright law while keeping functionality intact.
Or mostly intact. In my experience even performing straightforward changes like that you still end up with some breakage.
And of course this was possible before AI as well; it just took a little more effort.

Panic buying before the worst of the price increases hit looks like it was a good move. I have enough memory and storage to keep going for years.
- On the other hand, if you're in the market for a new mid-range graphics card, look out for discounted 16GB XFX Radeon 9060 XTs. I bought one early this year as part of my panic attack, and they have very much bucked the trend by cutting the price by 20% since then.
That's in Australia but the price here would be equivalent to $310, against an MSRP of $350.
Not a high-end card but fast and capable and not overly power-hungry.
- Guess what also costs around $310? The 16GB Raspberry Pi. (Jeff Geerling)
I was thinking of buying one - actually the Pi 500+, which is the model built in to a mechanical keyboard - but passed on it because at the time only the keyboard itself was available and not the bundled desktop kit with a matching mouse and cables and power supply.
That model is the worst affected, but even the 4GB Pi 5 has increased in price by 75%.
- Microsoft says you can avoid viruses in messages by never reading your messages. (The Register)
This is true.
- Nova Lake HX - the laptop range for Intel's next generation - will come with up to 28 cores. (WCCFTech)
That's only a minor change, though. Existing Intel laptop chips have up to 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. Nova Lake HX adds four low-power cores to that.
Also, as with the current Panther Lake family, there will models with the advanced integrated graphics (branded as B390), but then you get half as many CPU cores. You can't have both.

I was in a class where it was required to write papers by hand. I typed about a bazillion words a minute, and for pay, and I asked to be able to type my papers. I was told no; because when people typed and made typos, they blamed the typos on the typing and on the typewriter. And I said: how about if I take responsibility for any typos.

On the downside, the 2006 Volvo V70 replacement turbo appears to have developed a good size shaft oil seal leak into the airside housing.

- Medical technology has advanced enough to do this, complete with full joining up of all the nerves.
- The operation is a success.
- The patient goes horribly and utterly mad not because of post-op infection or tissue rejection, but because while they're in a clone of their own body, and their mind had already adjusted to the older version, and it unexpectedly refuses to make the necessary adjustments to a younger version.
(Extra bonus points if the patient is named Frank.)

The province of Ontario in Canada passed a law to go to permanent DST back in 2020, but it's conditional upon Quebec and NY State doing the same. This leads to situations where everyone is waiting on everyone else to "go first", and nobody does. Here we are, six years later, and we're still doing the time change dance twice a year. Freakin' lame.

I watch older kids shows since no messaging, and funny. There was one episode of a show where two identical twins went into their genius friends' lab, screwed around and switched bodies.
The genius kid didn't see a problem. "You're IDENTICAL twins!!"
But one of the twins replied "But we can't grow up to be who we were meant to be." It was cute.

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted.

JQ has the keys and is authorized to pour like never before, so put in your order. [Top photo: Athene owl. Photographer unknown]
According to A. E. Waite's 1910 book The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the Fool card is associated with: Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, betrayal. If the card is reversed: Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity

Artemis is doing their "proximity operations" test now, playing around with pretend docking and station keeping with the ICPS (upper stage). This is testing maneuvering the Orion spacecraft for docking operations. Apollo 8 did similar play docking with the S-IVB (third stage) after TLI.
Orion is now in that high elliptical orbit, apogee raise complete and is coasting. That has spent the ICPS stage. On the next perigee loop around, in about a day, they will deorbit it to burn over the South Pacific. Orion will then do the TLI boost to get it to the Moon.

Unlike many Morons & 'ettes I love Steve Perry's voice, still good after all these years. Yes, I know, rather bubblegum or something when he was part of Journey, however, some great music for this dancin' queen.
Paul Newman's eyes. Oh, boy. Only met another pair of blue eyes like that and even more spectacular with thick black eyelashes. Possibly the most beautiful man/boy I ever met. A year before I met my green eyed bf/husband. There are not many Paul Newman eyes in this world, but I met a guy who had it all til he died a few short months later, age 24yrs. Rare cancer. Gone.No choice but to go on and work hard in nursing school, which he knew was my goal.
Need to watch that movie tonight, and I thank you for the reminder.
Another pair of beautiful eyes is Leann Womack's. I'm told mine are not so bad, even in my fossilized state of age. Green.
President Trump gave a great speech tonight.Respectful. Subdued. Tired. But not tired of winning. May God be with him and give him strength. Please pray for him and his cabinet as they make the world safer.

The music industry has always been a Hunter S. Thompson world (most of you will get the quote).
I would like to encourage the 'Rons who aren't familiar with Robert Plants FIRST solo album to find it and give it a listen. Its titled "Pictures at Eleven".
Plant stepped out first after John Bonham's death ended Led Zeppelin. He put together a masterful album...it had his ringing voice and reminded listeners that he was the voice of Zeppelin. But the album wasn't a blatant attempt to rip off Led Zeppelin.
Musically, it included the previously undiscovered Robbie Blunt on guitars. More than half the tracks had Phil Collins on drums, even though Genesis was at the height of their popularity--that was the power that Robert Plant had. The remaining tracks had Cozy Powell on drums, whose resume included long stints with Rainbow, Whitesnake, and Emerson Lake and Powell (the successor to Emerson Lake and Palmer).
Here's a haunting track off Robert Plant's first solo album. It sounds both "like Zeppelin", and yet...individual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doj08c62

Watching Gutfeld and they're discussing Gavin Newsome's wife's interview with Jen Psaki where she (Newsome) talks about taking their young children to Alabama so they can see and experience racism, poverty and ignorance (paraphrasing) first hand.
What infuriates me is Mrs Newsome's smug condescension and confidence that nobody will ask her to 'give us an example that the kid's saw....'

There's some people that just have no mechanical intuition about how to "find the right combination". A toilet handle may be a bit tricky. We've got one like that in the house. Now, all you have to do is hold it down a half second longer, but there's one relation I won't mention who can't do that. So, the flapper partially opens, then slams back shut, letting not enough slug of water go through. It's just enough to flood and start the trap flush, but no enough to push a wad through. And said wad sticks, and it's plunger or snake time.
Guy has no clue about what's happening. Me, I notice stuff like that immediately, and compensate.

And had another relation who would force thing. Say a door latch wasn't exactly right, binding a little bit. Rather than jiggling things around and finding the right combination, he'll just force it, breaking things eventually.

This guy tore up the window handle in and old farm truck years ago. The handle would bind a little, and you just had to sort of wiggle and jiggle it, and it would work fine. But no, he had to force it, and just broke the handle.

I confess to enjoy watching restoration videos.
I get annoyed with the dramatic delays in videos where a stone has been cut in two and the a-hole who made the cut dawdles and shows the wetted surface of the formerly whole stone for a minute of so before opening up the two halves to reveal what was inside.
I get extremely aggravated by the turning videos where some materials are glued together, that whole assembly is immersed in a settable plastic, and then the a-hole takes forever and a day to turn the piece on a lathe only to discover that he made ... a wastebasket. Into which he ought to be shown piling the mountain of shavings he created during the process.

He'd been a punch press operator on biiig equipment for almost 30 years at Westinghouse Electric.
Machine operators building metal for large equipment experience a lot of quick amputations.

California's black unemployment rate was almost double Alabama's black unemployment rate and almost double California's while unemployment rate.
California's black incarceration rate is almost 10 times that of white Californians and higher than Alabama's black incarceration rate (2021 data, the most recent I could find).
She could have shown her kids much worse racism in California.
Seems like a trip to Alabama was a big waste of fuel, although the good news for her family is when they had to fill up for the return trip, gas for blacks and whites cost half of what it would have in California.

OKay, I had to find out why the hell they have to heat the piss. It's to prevent the discharge nozzle on the outside from freezing up. When the pressure goes to zero, it rapidly evaporates, freezes, then sublimates. Ice crystals forming in the nozzle and tube would clog it.
This close to the sun, it's all going to sublimate completely and very soon. Now, way out in the outer solar system, where insolation is much less, some ice would likely remain. This is why it's safe to dump urine (and water based stuff). It becomes vapor soon enough and doesn't leave any ice behind.
Million to one odds, but they don't won't to worry about leaving something in orbit they could slam into on the way back. Apollo was worried about this too. This is why they don't dump solids out.

Apollo was big on low residue, low fiber diets for that reason. But no matter, there's going to be some, and that was a big problem with the plastic bags they had to use.
Now, another advantage of low fiber is less gas. Apparently, and I just learned this, gas can get quite uncomfortable in low ambient pressure. Apollo was just 5 psi of pure O2 in space. Spacesuit pressure with the moon walks was even less, 3.75 psi.

I went through there almost 40 years ago. Son's Bantam team was playing in a tournament in Port Alberni. One of my cow-orkers needed to get his deceased grandmother's jewelry to.his sister who lived in Powell River. I probably committed some sort of smuggling offence, but I carried the stuff into CA. I would have loved to return down the mainland coast on the two ferries it would have taken, but my budget wouldn't allow it -towing a trailer. Just walked on the ferry at Comax, off the ferry at Powell River hand her the packege, back on the ferry and back to Comax.

Artemis is now ~34K miles from earth, well above circular geosynchronous radius.
I can't find a ground tack projection online (but I see one on the board at MC, but can't make it out). Anyway, the current orbital period is around 23.5 hours, so it's almost geosynchronous, but the highly elliptical nature means it's sometimes slower than earth's rotation, and sometimes faster, but averages out over the period. This makes for some interesting ground tracks, figure 8's that get wide.

I finally got to see the ground track, and it's quite complex, as I figured. Right now, it's a long loop, currently moving east to west. That's because it's moving slower than earth's rotation underneath. But then at gets closer to perigee, it will start moving west to east again. It will slide west just over Australia, then move north east over NA again. TLI will happen somewhere then, and when it gets close to the Moon, it's moving with the Moon, east to west.
The track looks crazy at first, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

That's the idea. Do some big check outs and testing while in orbit. When they do the apogee raise, they get in a very high elliptical orbit with about a 1 day period. TLI to the Moon will be after that.
Idea is to check everything out before they even attempt the TLI.

My late older brother made the mylar canister that carried the flag to the moon on the Apollo 11 mission. He took the left over scrap material - cut it up and gave a piece of it to each of his siblings. It is my proudest possession: its like having a piece of material that Columbus' sail was made from.
That Mylar canister can be seen lying on the surface of the moon in some of the photos that Armstrong took. I like the idea that there is some litter from my family on the moon.

Orion is running N2/O2 mix, 70/30, IIRC. Pressure will vary from about 1 atm to 10 psi. Very different from Apollo.
They've got to worry about pre-breathing for suit ups and all that, and the whole was designed around that.

Submarines aren't designed for optimal strength/weight as much. Every increase in strength for whatever purpose requires mass.

That's at least a day away. This is very different trajectory than Apollo. They're first using the ICPS to go to a high elliptical orbit with a period of about 24 hours.
That will expend all the ICPS fuel. The Orion SM will have to do the final TLI burn to raise that to the Moon.
Apollo TLI had a lot more wiggle room. This manuever is tightly constrained.

Everybody generally has to pee like a race horse when the get in zero-g. Floating around, all that fluid in your legs, held there by gravity starts moving to the center of your body. Your kidneys start dumping it.
In fact, zero-g can mess with the the bladder full sensors your body has. One poor astronaut got up there, and then pissed all over the place before he even knew he had to go.

You can read the transcripts of the infamous floating turn episode on Apollo 10.
The Apollo solid waste system consisted of a plastic bag you taped to your ass. And remember this is zero-g, no gravity to help pull things loose. They had to use their hands to help. And then they had to put some anti-bacterial stuff in there, and knead it all in good.
There were some diarrhea episodes, and listening to some of the old mission tapes, that was a mess. They didn't talk about it, but it was a mess.

We shall not see his like again, nor the likes of any of those men of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Buzz Aldrin almost single handedly figured out how to execute EVAs and work outside the capsule without exhausting himself during his Gemini flight and thus enabled NASA to proceed with Apollo flights.

It did happen. It was Alan Shepard and the very first American space flight.
I cannot recommend "The Right Stuff" often enough or highly enough -- it is a personal favorite film of mine. It cuts through the hero worship to show how human and down to earth the X-15 pilots and Mercury astronauts were.

He's not going to outright say it maybe because its too soon but I wouldnt be surprised if we annexed the entire strait and put it under american control
theres a lot of pieces here that all point to asserting American hegemony over the global oil trade that will prop up the american dollar as nations panic and buy energy from the US, as well as give china and eurotrash the middle finger
Im fine with that, do that and disband NATO, then tell russia end the war or we end it for you
Id rather we be isolationist but that would mean having our thumb up our asses while china et al try to take over the world

I don't think he was short of breath, just a different tone for him. Respectful in his message vs his normal self that we see. Respectful of the 13 men and women warriors who died and their families.
Every night, prayers for him, VP Vance, their family and friends, and cabinet. For a wall of protection and good health.
That any plan against them fail. I have prayed this since he was shot, and certainly since Novembe 2024. He's a man on a mission and he's winning. He needs our prayers, and I thank God for him.

@GuntherEagleman BOOM! Kayleigh just dropped TRUTH: There are over 500 firms in China helping CCP members come here to give birth in the US, all thanks to Obama’s 2009 loopholes. That could mean 1 million new “anchor baby” voters by 2030.
Leading ReportJustice DEI wanted to prove that it's no big deal if millions of Fake American Citizens actually owe their primary allegiance to a hostile foreign country, so she embarrassed herself again. She claimed that if you're in Japan and subject to Japan's laws, that means you "locally owe your allegiance" to Japan so what does it matter if we have 10 million Chinese anchor babies planted here by the CCP? We all owe our allegiance to some other country sometimes, baby.

Andrew Branca Show
@TheBrancaShow 1/6 Something remarkable just happened on X -- and almost nobody in legacy media noticed. A tweet about Japanese BBQ went viral in the US. What came next was completely unexpected. 🧵
2/6 X quietly launched automatic Japanese-to-English translation on posts. The result? American and Japanese users started reading each other -- many for the first time. And they immediately discovered something: they like the same things.
Andrew Branca Show 3/6 It started with meat.
Thanks to @Zakn.
Japanese users were posting about wagyu, yakiniku, and grilling culture. Americans responded with their own BBQ passion. The two audiences went absolutely wild for each other. A shared love of quality meat kicked off an international friendship movement in real time. 4/6 But it didn't stop at meat. As the conversation deepened, both groups realized the connection ran much further. Shared pride in their cultures. Shared values around family, work, and national identity. A shared worldview that the globalist left has spent decades trying to erase. 16h
5/6 This is what happens when the language barrier falls and ordinary people actually talk to each other -- without journalists, NGOs, or government officials in the way. Japanese and Americans aren't supposed to like each other this much. The globalists need them divided.

They'll dick around a bit there, then do a big apogee raise burn, putting Orion in a very high elliptical earth orbit with a period of about 24 hours.
They'll then check systems out for a day, then the SM will do the final TLI push to the Moon.

They'll dick around a bit there, then do a big apogee raise burn, putting Orion in a very high elliptical earth orbit with a period of about 24 hours.
They'll then check systems out for a day, then the SM will do the final TLI push to the Moon.

There is an old program - Kerbal Space Program - that lets you design build and launch rockets with little critters in them and simulate these orbital maneuvers.
There is a replacement under development that uses kittens as the critters - Kitten Space Agency I think it is.

Note that the SLS-Orion is no Apollo-Saturn V. SLS/Orion does not have the delta-v fuel margin to put Orion in low lunar orbit and get back out.
This is why it's just a free-return flyby. The ICPS doesn't have the energy, and the final TLI has to be done by Orion itself.
Why you ask? Read up on the history of the boondoggle known as SLS.

Zimmerman is saying the real test will be with the life support system. SpaceX hasn't designed anything like this (the Dragon is just a shuttle to LEO).
Zimmerman is least hopeful for the return. The heat shields failed in 2022. NASA's response was "yolo" to that. The new trajectory is supposed to put less pressure on the shields.

When Philippines was cut lose from being a Territory they had a deadline to get ass into what would in the future be the US proper by a deadline or they would lose citizenship. If Puerto Rico goes independent, the same. When certain island nations of the Pacific Trust Territory went independent, same.

They aren't technically in orbit now, in a more ballistic missile like sub-orbital trajector. The orbit is about 15 x 1300 miles. The upcoming ICPS perigee raise burn will raise that to 100 x 1300 miles. Then they'll be in orbit.
Note this is quite elliptical, unlike Apollo's circular parking orbits.

The third stage had two burns. First one to complete parking orbit, and then TLI, which did the spacecraft fully on the way to the Moon.
The Apollo SM had to do the lunar orbit insertion burn (and return to earth burn), but the 3rd stage did all the TLI burn.

I'd think a cargo mass drive would have a limited ability to move its target and fire in all directions.
I have read an SF story, though, where a work team on the moon tells the AI computer controlling things the position of a ridge blocking the projected path of a new mass driver. The response came back - completion time, 40 minutes.
They park for lunch and are nearly killed when the kinda smart AI fires ore from a mass driver at the ridge, blowing apart the obstacle and nearly killing them. It seemed like a good idea to the AI!

A) deny automatic citizenship for all noncitizens born in the US, after January 1, 2024.
B) grant automatic citizenship for all noncitizens born in the US forever.
Those are the only actual options before the Court.
See, as others noted, the ACLU option is the most extreme.
And they don't grant any lesser option--all citizens forever, no exceptions, no restrictions.
OTOH, Trump is saying, the accepted interpretation has no legal basis. But, we're not going to punish those already here. We only want to start enforcing the law as written.
So, you can say Roberts and ACB are spineless weasels--and they are--but there is a reasonable option and an extreme option before them.
Now go back and look at their questioning in that light.

This happened with the Apollo mission several times. Iw was listening to some of the accelerated mission audio for Apollo 8, 9, 10, 11 a while back.
They would lose the ground link some time during the hand over to another ground station (in low earth orbit, a given ground station can't see the spacecraft for but a small window).
This sounds exactly like that. They're still getting other data, just lost the link to the astronauts.

I went to visit a cousin in Nebraska last year, and it was different. I live in a valley between two mountain ranges, and am used to hills and such.
Nebraska may have hills, but nowhere near were I was. You could see to Canada. And I never got the whole "feeling exposed and isolated, lost in the endless horizon" thing but staying at a farm house near a tiny tiny little hamlet made me understand all those horror movies.

==============
The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command’s secretive NT-43A has been spotted in Florida, taking part in the preparations for the launch of NASA’s long-delayed Artemis II lunar space mission. This highly unique and notoriously shy plane, a converted militarized Boeing 737-200 variant (T-43) also commonly known by the callsign RAT55, has long been used as an airborne signature measurement platform to support work related to stealthy military aircraft. However, during a high-stakes space launch, its two huge radar arrays, modular electro-optical and infrared sensors, and other capabilities would likely be well-suited to gathering telemetry and other valuable data.

Other than Bonneville, the Red River (of the North) Valley is probably the flattest place in the USA. Northeast ND, Northwest MN.
There's a little notch where the river runs, then its flat for miles and miles. Not level; it gains about 1 foot of elevation for every mile you get away from the river. But the only "hills" are the ones that we built for highway overpasses.
Fire up Google Maps and drop the Street View guy anywhere north-ish of Fargo. Spin in a circle. Try to find any topology anywhere. It ain't there.

West Nebraska is on a tilt for about half the state. Coming back there was a blizzard that shut down the highway for a day or so so we were stuck near Salt Lake. As we went into Nebraska they had plowed the highway first then plowed the overpasses down onto the highway so there was a ridge of snow and ice the trucks had bulldozed mostly clear. It was bumper to bumper at night with trucks going about 40 no stopping. Our truck blew a tire and we just had to run on the one tire of the pair for hours before we could find a hotel and service station.

We retired the 1000's about a week after the landing and I helped install the new VR-1100's The VR-1100's were solid-state monochrome machines'. The VR-1200's were solid-state color machines. We also had 15 RCA TR -3 playback machines as well as one TR-4 in the record room. No school. I was awarded my MOS, 26T20, after Basic in Fort Dix. I was drafted in Sept '67 and had previous experience in TV and electronics. Surprised me that the Army actually read my history! Especially being a draftee.

He did this every 10 or 15 minutes, and then would go back to the jobs he was working on - cabinet installation, the boiler, etc.
Finally I asked him what the hell he was doing -- he said " I got the first female / black / gay / canadian crew outside installing sod."
I imagine there is another channel not made public today with some Mission Commander saying "Remember guys, don't touch anything."

We have some data on long-term low-gravity impact on humanity, but need a lot more before attempting a colony. Honestly I think a high orbit station for testing ideas, then going to mine the asteroid belt makes a lot more sense than a lunar base.

Trump has a scheduled speech tonight.
Although this launch was not on the agenda I am sure it is planned whether good or bad.
For the previous moon shots the then current El Presente had two speeches planned, one each for success or failure.

Geostationary orbit might have too much crap there now.
A middle orbit would require more fuel to hoist everything up each launch. The ideal would be to work to having the moon to earth orbit craft stay up there to avoid the huge cost of lifting them up each trip.

When Starship comes fully online, costs to orbit will drop to $100/kg. You can then do anything you want - mars, the moon, a space station, asteroids, whatever. Everything becomes possible. A single launch of starship carries half the weight of the entire ISS as cargo. It will be equal to 21 shuttle slights, at a fraction of the cost.

Correction, they are not "in orbit" yet. I was looking at the trajectory profile. THe ICPS (second stage) won't fire for a while yet. Right now the "orbit" is highly elliptical with a perigee well inside the earth's atmosphere. If the ICPS fails to fire, they would take then back for near immediate reentry.
ICPS first firing will be a while.

A mass driver is throwing rock. In theory an electromagnet cannon could shoot packages off the moon and they could be collected in orbit and again, reduce the cost of getting materials up into orbit for use in space.

Theoretically, Space Force (previously done by USAF) can track objects down to about the size of a softball. The Shuttle Orbiter and the ISS are able to do debris avoidance maneuvers if the probability of collision is (a number I forget) or larger and there is sufficient time. The Russians never worried about orbital debris. They used what is called the Big Sky Theory. Based on their take that space is big and debris is very, very, sparse. A cold-blooded approach, but Soviets.

In Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress the loonies used theirs to bombard Earth.

Some of that's Trump hate.
A lot of that is the notion that the 'special' people were off limits in war. A king might be captured and subject to some humiliation, but unless there was some bad blood involved, he'd be sworn to serve the victor rather than killed outright. There are exceptions (see most of the Old Testament, as God doesn't seem concerned with status).
What Trump and Israel have shown is that unspoken rule no longer applies. If anyone causes enough trouble to justify war, we'll start by killing the decision makers who caused the problem. And it would seem that targets like the ayatollahs are less command and control than those who give ideological support for the enemy's cause.
In the event of US Civil War 2.0 that is likely to include the entire 'expert' class. And they are just smart enough to have figured that out.

Imagine it is mid-January 1942 and US has already killed Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Rommel, Manstein, and every field marshal. The Kriegsmarine has been sunk, and the Luftwaffe wiped out. Our aircraft dominate the skies so completely over Germany that they can't even fire flak against the B-17s.
Our casualties include some mid-air collisions and an incident were an inexperienced Allied pilot shot down three of our fighters, but the pilots were rescued and are now back in the fight.
This is world-historical dominance.

I was 6yrs old when I found out the South lost the Civil War. So this is similar mentality.
We were on a trip to DC, in the back of my parents Cadillac. [This was almost Civil War times, Morons and 'ettes, or the early'60's] The AC had two plastic things on each end of the back window.
Bro and I had our Rebel and Yankee plastic warriors and I was, of course, a Rebel. I'd say, "Start the war!" and we'd fight and I'd win.
My father spoke up while driving and informed me the South lost. Really? I was crushed and my brother was thrilled. It took a while to accept this crushing defeat but I eventually did.
It did not help that in Gatlinburg, TN we were drafted into the Confederate Army and rode a train. My brother got a grey uniform and wore it everywhere when we got home.
I was too young to be bothered by him, as his main problem was being carsick on every trip, which was gross.

Bombing cannot win a war. But it does shape the battlespace for success for the ground forces. Whether those ground forces are military troops, or locals set to finally overthrow the last of the regime remains to be seen. At some point, somebody somewhere needs to walk into what remains of the IRGC HQs and say, "We are now in charge."

No specific named pinball machine is identified in the 1988 film The Accused, where Jodie Foster plays Sarah Tobias, who is gang-raped on a generic pinball machine in a bar's game room.
The scene uses a standard pinball machine (with artwork on the headboard/backglass showing a scantily clad woman in a basketball hoop theme), but it has no branded title or model name mentioned in the movie, credits, or production details. The prop was chosen to replace an original script idea of a pool table for legal reasons.
The film is a dramatization inspired by a real 1983 case but altered for the story

ITs a reenactment of a court case in which a trashy woman went to a bar, got drunk as hell then acted like she wanted every man there to chain her like an Only Fans girl then got upset when they took her up on the offer.
This is not to defend the men: she said "no" and that's when you lay off and leave her alone. They raped her and no matter how she was behaving, you don't do that. But she acted like the rake she stomped on was unthinkable when it hit her face.

Reconciliation means only a majority vote needed in the Senate but precludes due to the Byrd rule, adding on other non budgetary items like most of the SAVE act.
House is shaky on the majority but the special election for Marjorie Traitor Greene's seat is April 7th and the GOP is favored to win that one last time I checked. Dems are likely to gain a seat in NJ that was Jackie Sherrill's (D) seat. Then the other two vacancies don't matter much as LaMalfa (R) seat won't be filled until August.
217 Republicans, 1 Independent that caucuses with the GOP, and 214 Democrats. 3 vacancies with one Dem and one GOP seat likely to added by mid April. And one possible expulsion of a Dem for Ethics depending on the Dems as it takes 2/3rds to expel.

Having never seen the movie, I looked it up. According to Brave AI, "the machine had a headboard depicting a scantily clad woman half-plopped in a basketball hoop," which "does not correspond to a known, commercially released pinball machine." Further, "It is widely believed that the machine used in the film was a custom-built prop created specifically for the production. This was likely done to achieve the specific visual required for the scene and to avoid any potential legal issues associated with using a real machine, especially given the film's sensitive subject matter and its basis on a real-life incident (which originally involved a pool table)."

That's my one concern, too. You probably can't get the fanatics to surrender. By the end of the day, someone has to kill all of them. And while there are rumors that Israel's been working on the 'security forces' it seems to me like we've been mostly bombing launchers and supplies. I have no idea if it's true, but I saw somewhere recently that Iran has ~4 or 5k KIA, which doesn't seem like much given the size of the country (the breakdown on IRGC specifically was something like 20%, which doesn't seem like enough if we're serious about giving the currently unarmed Iranians the opportunity to overthrow them).

History never stands still. Nations that were once great decline, nations that were never great rise, and you have religion, culture, wealth, resources, and linguistic cleavages that make a one world government a fantasy only fools would consider possible.
As mentioned above, NATO existed to repel Soviet invasion of Western Europe, the Warsaw Pact was Soviet response to build in defensive space and to enable resource stripping of its bloc. Neither are relevant today except NATO is still around.
After NATO, the US went on a spree with all sorts of new treaties like SEATO (SE Asia Treaty Organization), ANZUS (at least until New Zealand decided our nuclear ships were declasse), CENTO aka Baghdad Pact centered on the Middle East anchored by Turkey. That world is dead.

If they actually went to War for Taiwan, one would assume that they would be expecting to be fucked for the next 6 months to a year economically and would have prepared accordingly, but absent that war footing, they're going to have a hell of a time keeping their population in line throughout the running of energy austerity measures

If they are not replaced by Pahlavi or some currently non-existent civilian alternative, do you think the IRGC will give up its support of terrorism in the region and against the US?
Do you think China will not help rebuild Iran, in exchange for tons of absurdly cheap oil?
Do you think Eurocrats will not help in exchange for less cheap oil?
Do you think Democrats will not help in exchange for votes, election interference, and virtue signaling points?
In such a scenario, how has the war, which began in 1979, been "won"?
There will merely be a delay of 10, maybe 20, years during which the IRGC rebuilds and rearms, and then it starts all over again.

They only have cheap oil for sale because of our sanctions. And they won't have a free hand, any more than the current Venezuelan government does.

Very possible. Likely a groyper and/or mASSIE fan.
And ignoring the elephant in the room which is enough enriched uranium to make 10-11 nuclear weapons--first one in about a week if the enough centrifuges still exist somewhere. Those plus missiles and like horseshoes, you only have to get close with a nuke for a nightmare scenario.
Whether the mullahs regime dies is up to the Iranian people but we simply cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons. Their attack everyone around them including allies like Oman and Qatar indicates a basic derangement in their war strategy made into nightmare fuel with nukes.

Any PLA troops that reach Taiwan will be either corpses or trying to surrender.
There is no way China can pull off a landing over rougher seas and multiple times farther than the English Channel in the face of Taiwan and Japan. The Japs have just moved long-range anti-ship missiles and SAMs to cover Taiwan.

Project Hail Mary Is #Based?
I saw it Tuesday night. I realized that was the last night to see it on a premium screen, because Super Mario Bros. would take al the premium screens Wednesday.
I'll review it below. (In short: It's good, worth seeing in the theaters.) The movie isn't political, but the creators are pitching it low-key as a conservative-friendly movie. First of all, the writer of the novel the movie is based on, Andy Weir, actually went on Critical Drinker for almost an hour. The Critical Drinker is hated and persona non grata with progressives, so when Weir decided he would ignore the #Deplatforming order on Critical Drinker, he was making a statement. Not only did he #Platform Critical Drinker, but he trashed Fake Star Trek in much the same way as a conservative pop culture critic would."I forgot who it was--I wish I could remember who it was who said it, some analyst--he said something like, 'All modern science fiction TV shows and movies have been heavily influenced by the original Star Trek--except for the current batch of Star Trek shows,'" Weir noted. "I'm Gen X, so my sci-fi was like original series Star Trek reruns and Lost in Space reruns. And there wasn't really much in the way of [new] sci-fi that was airing--where people are off in space doing cool things--until we got to [The Next Generation]." After discussing the fate of Starfleet Academy and Jordan suggesting that Paramount should simply decanonize all modern Star Trek, Weir offered something of a rebuttal while also revealing that he had attempted to pitch a Trek series of his own. "You're a little more severe than I am--I'll give you my opinion, and I'm just a consumer. I like Strange New Worlds. I think it's pretty good. I didn't hate Enterprise. I thought it was kind of weird. Lower Decks, I thought, was entertaining and fun. All the others, they can go," Weir said. "And here's another thing: I pitched a Star Trek show to Paramount, and I was in Zoom with the showrunners with all the shows and spent a lot of time talking to [executive producer Alex Kurtzman]," the writer continued. "I don't like a lot of the new Trek. He, as a person, is a really nice guy. But at the same time, those shows are shit. He is a nice guy. But they didn't accept my pitch, so, you know, fuck 'em."He was forced to apologize for this -- conservatives also shouldn't court controversy or alienate potential ticket-buyers when they're promoting their movies, either -- but we all heard it. The Truth Is Out There now. In another soft pitch to conservatives, star Ryan Gosling introduced the movie at a screening, he declared, "It's not [fans'] job to keep theaters open, it's our job to make things that make it worth coming out." That may seem obvious, but it's only conservative cultural critics who've been saying it. The left thinks we should show up for their Gay Illegal Alien Antifa Movies just to show our support for favored minorities. Former Amazon executive Tom Price -- who greenlighted this movie -- writes in the NYT that maybe Hollywood should learn a lesson from Project Hail Mary's success and make movies which are -- get this -- broadly entertaining rather than filled with divisive and yet childlike political propaganda.
'Project Hail Mary' Is Fun. Maybe That's All It Takes.I actually wrote that he rejected divisive political messaging before I read the actual article. But he said it! I was only thinking he'd softly imply it.
By Roy Price
Mr. Price is the chief executive of International Art Machine, an entertainment studio, and was previously the head of Amazon Studios.
"Project Hail Mary" opened last weekend to more than $80 million at the domestic box office, the biggest opening for a nonfranchise, nonsequel film since "Oppenheimer" in 2023. For all the fretting about the decline of movie theaters, people apparently know where their local theater is just as long as they're given films they want to go and see. It's also the first major theatrical success for Amazon MGM Studios, which formed in 2023. (Despite my former association with Amazon, I don't enjoy any benefit from the film's success.) It's not just a one-off hit, either -- the domestic box office in general in 2026 is up a robust 20 percent from the year before, driven by hits like the mid-December releases "Avatar: Fire and Ash" and "The Housemaid," along with the year's "Scream 7," "Wuthering Heights" and others. A possible reason for this rebound? Movies are starting to feel fun again. Eras change. Vibes, as they say, shift. In 1969, the low-budget counterculture road movie "Easy Rider" was the fourth-biggest box office hit -- edged out for third place by the low-budget, X-rated "Midnight Cowboy." By contrast, "Paint Your Wagon," a big-budget, star-driven musical, tanked. That was the end of an era: Musicals were essentially over and the cinematic 1970s had begun, one year early. We've had other eras since -- the blockbusters of the 1980s, the Sundance generation of the 1990s. But the most recent era, which started in the wake of Donald Trump's election in 2016 and went into overdrive after 2020, was one in which political and social messaging were what seemed to matter most in Hollywood.
It can't be a coincidence that Ryan Gosling is echoing this line, minus the overt criticism of progressive propaganda. This feels like a coordinated message. In Price's case, he has nothing to gain from Project Hail Mary's success. I guess he had no points in the project. But many in Hollywood have recognized that the industry is now in a state of dire existential crisis and they need to get their heads out of their stinky asses ASAP or the whole rotten house is going to collapse. His interest here is about the general viability of the so-called "entertainment" industry.
Sex, erotic thrillers and humor were on the outs. Romantic comedies essentially disappeared. From 2012 to 2016, roughly 67 comedy films with budgets over $5 million were released a year on average. From 2017 to 2023 (excluding the Covid year of 2020), that average dropped by a third, to some 45 comedies a year. It was an era when you could make "Nomadland" -- a best picture Oscar winner in 2021 -- but championing the ribaldry of a film like "Bridesmaids" seemed suddenly out of the question. The Dionysian elements of popular entertainment -- irreverence, sexual frankness and broad, even scatological humor -- were cast aside as the industry sought to correct historic wrongs and resist current ones. An unmistakable censoriousness and fear of saying or doing the wrong thing seemed to settle over the creative process. Cultural and political considerations played an outsize role -- not only in what movies got made, but in how success for these movies was defined. What didn't seem to matter as much? Making sure that audiences were filling seats.
There was an old rule that actual movie stars observed: "One for the studio, one for me." In other words, one broadly entertaining movie likely to make a good amount of money, and then one more personal and "arty" project which probably wouldn't make money but would boost the star's prestige. For ten years, Hollywood's rule has been "one for me, and another one for me, and oh how about another one for me, and this one for me, and this one for me." Yes, they made Marvel and other superhero movies during this period, but those were among the only broadly-entertaining movies they made -- everything else was overt, mentally-impaired hardcore woke propaganda. And then, of course, even the stupid superhero movies started pushing braindead woke propaganda as well, and people stopped seeing those. The "star" of the upcoming Supergirl movie just decided to alienate the mostly-male audience for superhero movies and announce that she is a pre-emptive victim (TM) of internet bullying. You see, Basement Internet Babies cannot stand the thought of a Stronk Female playing... Supergirl.
Some might object that comedy in particular waned in that era because the genre, in the words of the industry, "doesn't travel," meaning it lacks international appeal. But the international appeal of comedy didn't suddenly change in 2017. Hollywood's tastes did. That era might finally be ending. Hollywood loves box-office data, and the recent data suggests that there are two paths forward for the industry. One path is the prestige message films that dominated the most recent Oscars, exemplified by this year's best picture winner, "One Battle After Another" (although that movie, with its chase scenes and stoner jokes, had a crowd-pleasing element). The other path is represented by eight-cylinder entertainment like "Project Hail Mary" and "The Housemaid" -- as well as pulpy films like "Weapons" and "Sinners" (which had its political notions, but you could enjoy it for the music and vampires). If this new era of fun has a figurehead, it's the actress Sydney Sweeney, who almost single-handedly revived the romantic comedy with "Anyone but You" and the erotic thriller with "The Housemaid," two genres that 10 years ago had been cinematically left for dead.
Hollywood was built on entertainment. A big part of what makes entertaining movies work is that they engage audiences in a way that feels contemporary but would be completely recognizable to Billy Wilder or Frank Capra. These films spring from the belief that movies matter in and of themselves -- and not just as a means to influence society. The question is not whether Hollywood should make serious or socially conscious films -- it should, and it will. But the success of "Project Hail Mary" and other recent films reminds us that in our new era, whatever it will be called, people appear to be responding to fun.
...and the audience just left the building. Gotta get your stars to stop talking like this. https://t.co/EH4lGxVVz5

I'm going to add to my ever growing prayers. At this rate I will soon be one of those nuns who take a vow of silence and pray all day (my husband would like this part). The Carmelites.

I have my own version of peace here when my husband lets me out of my cell every morning. I then flit around a bit.

They've had a little glitch with Artemis II, just as I was expecting. It's a range issue with the flight termination system communications or some crap. This is the self-destruct system that blows up the rocket if it goes out of control.
In the you-can't-make-it-up category, they've sent some guy out to the VAB to look for an old piece of Shuttle hardware they are referring to as "heritage hardware" they think might help fix things.
As it is, range safety is no-go until this FTS problem is fixed.

See, it's ok to have a "message" in a movie (even if I disagree with it, because I can, you know, disagree with it). But the message has to be subordinate to making the movie. Entertain the audience, and if you can also make them think, that's a bonus.
But there's a word for media that puts political messaging ahead of the art: propaganda.

I went because I saw reviews that it was one of the few "family" movies being made. Not a kids movie, but one every age could actually enjoy watching.
I'd give it a B+, worth seeing, but maybe a little over praised. No real politics that I could discern.

We ARE better, but not immune to that. Sometimes the guys at the Daily Wire (especially Klavan), and sometimes Morrissey talking to Toto are close to saying we HAVE to go to conservative made movies. Mark Judge does too. And note, in general I like all those. But there are just too many new books and movies I am not interested in.

And of course it is a shame that Milly is a toxic airhead.
Part of the romance of the movies is falling in love just a little bit with the women as you put yourself in that universe, and that is not possible when you couldn't even stand to be in the same room with them. These people build their careers around being more attractive than average, and then they run their mouths and ruin it.

Sorry to be a tiresome pedant, but childlike implies the sweeter, innocent nature of children, while childish is negative. If I'm reading this correctly, childish is the fitting word here.
Childlike and childish both relate to children but have opposite connotations: childlike is positive, highlighting innocence, wonder, and sincerity, while childish is negative, denoting immature, petulant, or irrational behavior. Childlike refers to admired traits, whereas childish describes unwanted behaviors like tantrums or self-centeredness.

I genuinely enjoyed Sinners , but it was very clear the movie was very anti-white at basically every level.
The creator was clearly a racist.
It was also nowhere near an Oscar worthy movie, it was just a horror movie that punched above its weight. But DEI is what matters most to these people.
A white director or writer and this thing would have not gotten a single nom.

K2-18b is a *possible*, possible, "hycean" planet. Could also be a super earth or mini-Neptune.
Hycean means hydrogen atmosphere but with a water ocean. These could support life.
This would be critters, bacteria and so forth, not likely big flora and fauna. But who the hell knows. Our sample of life in the universe consists of 1 data point.

Even if his ship traveled at near lightspeed, it would take a minimum of 13 year to get there, then it would take a minimum of 13 years to send the signal back to Earth (radio signal powerful enough to be received back on Earth).

The movie I'm particularly interesting seeing is " A Great Awakening" about he 18th century evangelist George Whitfield and his friendship with Benjamin Franklin. Whitfield was a powerful preacher and Franklin was not an orthodox believer. He was interested in using his paper to promote Whitfield however.

I'm not sure about that. It was a worldwide coalition so, since whites make up less than 10% of the worldwide population, they were over-represented on the team - as expected since they are among the high tech countries. I can only think of three women on the team, offhand, the head lady, the lady astronaut, and the one who fucked up a measurement and caused an issue.

If you can read beyond the newspaper articles and click-bait web sites, astronomers are pretty honest about how much uncertainty is in these data.
It is real, in the sense that they are doing real analysis (of, for example, the spectrum of a planet’s atmosphere, the mass of the planet, its approximate size, and thus an approximate density) with real and useful results, but there are many possible interpretations of those results.
Sky & Telescope appears to be a pretty good reporter on this things.

there was much handwaving in the movie about how much time this took, or if the ship was moving at anything close to the speed of light, or what. They did show a character who remained on earth appearing maybe 10-15 years older, but it seems like she should have been much older.
The fuel they use is derived from the astrophages themselves so maybe there's some implied Magic Science going on here.

The meltdown over Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is truly something EVERYONE needs to pay attention to. You see, as the first & only black woman to ever serve on the court, she had to be 10 times better than most… She continues to flex her brilliance in oral arguments & many dissents.
Please note that by the time a black woman ascends to a powerful position, she Definitely Earned It… if you have any questions… let’s talk about Senator, now Secretary Mullin… or please pull the resumes of some of the other justices before entering this chat… actually just don’t, it’s not a debate, these are FACTS (alternative facts = LIES).

Not to ruffle too many feathers, but the whole western superhero tradition is sort of lame and gay. "Oh look at me and how tall my high horse is, I'm gonna go defeat all the villians but make sure to capture them all alive and leave them tied up in front of the precinct house".
It's a type of conflict for sheltered first worlders with no experience with real fighting and tends to be alarmingly self-centered from the hero/reader-insert standpoint.
The good stuff never loses sight of that and uses it as a source of plot tension, but if you aren't careful it's a short skip and a hop from Batman to the total ethical shitshow of Dr. Who.

Computer calculations are making it possible to make absolutely gigantic optical telescopes by, rather than building gigantic telescopes that would be subject to collapse, but by building lots of smaller telescopes and treating them as a single lens.
Besides gravity, another of the limitations on ground-based astronomy has been turbulence in the atmosphere, which makes resolutions beyond a certain point useless. But it is now possible to measure that turbulence in real-time and so apply corrections in order to attain greater clarity on the ground.

That's pretty good. But they've jacked up the refreshments prices. It's about $20 for two large sodas and a large popcorn (with refills).
I've noticed a lot of the repertory places around here are offering ridiculously cheap tickets. They don't make much money off those anyway, I guess. (Interestingly, the refreshment prices are way cheaper than the big chains, too.)

For things that they can do spectral analysis on, the certainty that these are planets is very high. There have been enough observations across different types of measurements with enough predictability of what future measurements will show, that the alternative explanations have to get weirder and weirder to explain them as something other than a planet.
Then again, “the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.”

I gotta admit...I don't even arrive at the theater until marquee time. The big chains have 15 minutes of "pre-show content" at a minimum. AMC does 20.
The little places will do about 10. Arrive at marquee time, park, get tix, get popcorn, go to the bathroom...get there just in time to get spoiled for an upcoming movie.

Even if his ship traveled at near lightspeed, it would take a minimum of 13 year to get there, then it would take a minimum of 13 years to send the signal back to Earth (radio signal powerful enough to be received back on Earth).
That only leaves a maximum of 4 years to implement the solution, assuming our best scientists even understand it.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at April 01, 2026 04:56 PM (ESVrU)
That's not exactly the problem in the movie. The world will lose half it's population in 30 years due to starvation caused by the dimming sun and all the wars that will be fought in those 30 years over food because of course the countries of the world will lie cheat and steal to survive. All of the stars in our immediate vicinity except Tau Ceti are experiencing the dimming. Don't want to spoil how they were able to accelerate the ship fast enough to make the mission viable, it's a major plot point and possibly a plot hole. Also a bit ironic.

The funniest part - Starfleet Academy doesn't suck because it is woke, it sucks because it is poorly acted, directed, scripted, etc. They have an alien the barfs glitter. A gay Klingon. A female Jem hadar. A hologram that acts like it is six years old. A Vulcan bully. A guy in a wheelchair. They use modern slang and curses.
The wokeness isn't the problem as much as the utter lack of original thinking, stories, characters, AND a complete inability to stick with the canon. If you want to have someone be a bully, Klingon works better. If you want to have someone in a wheelchair, make it a fish alien with no legs. Want someone to be gay? Make it the Vulcan - they always seemed a bit gay. You can do what want, just don't find the lamest possible way to do it. or the "subversive" way.
Star trek was always about adult people dealing with adult situations. Or, at worst, adult people dealing with absurd and childish situations. It was never about children dealing with childish situations. In other words:
"Shut Up Wesely!"

The Nancy Grace Roman telescope will be able to direct image some of the larger (gas giant) exoplanets in the near neighborhood. That will pretty much confirm, yep, these are planets.

Could be sunspots, but then it wouldn't have to obey the rules of gravity governing the speed and distance of an orbit. Matter in orbit that isn't essentially a planet would have the dip have a more gradual edge than is usually seen.
Another method that can be used is to look at shifts in the spectral lines as the star wobbles due to the planet tugging on it.

Pretty much yeah. Passed the time helped calm the cattle. It didn't matter how great you were, it was better than sitting around in silence.
One of my favorite singing bits in a TV show was Justified, season 2. The evil murderous mom of a clan of hill folk did a great job (like pretty much everyone else) and there's a scene where the family is having a picnic/barbecue. They all start singing and get mom to sing along. She's a terrible singer but nobody cared because it was about the family and the song and being together, not about perfection. They loved mom, they loved singing, they loved the family, who cares if she's not an opera singer.
We need more of that. Everyone is terrified to sing in public now, or anywhere, because they all feel like they have to be professional quality. Singing used to be everywhere, we sang as part of life. Now we delegate it all to professionals.

The expression goes back at least to the 1930s, when it was used publicly by Elmer Layden and Jim Crowley, two former members of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's Four Horsemen. Originally meaning any sort of desperation play, a Hail Mary pass gradually came to denote a long, low-probability pass, typically of the "alley-oop" variety, attempted at the end of a half when a team is too far from the end zone to execute a more conventional play, implying that it would take a miracle for the play to succeed. For more than 40 years, use of the term was largely confined to Notre Dame and other Catholic universities.

The term became widespread after an NFL playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings on December 28, 1975 (see Cowboys–Vikings rivalry), when Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach (a devout Catholic) said about his game-winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Drew Pearson, "I closed my eyes and said a Hail Mary."

there was much handwaving in the movie about how much time this took"
IF they approached the speed of light, time would have "slowed down" on earth, I think. Or sped up for the travelers ... relativity and all that stuff. But getting to that speed requires more and more power, infinite power to actually reach the speed of life (as I recall the theory). But SciFi has to ignore much of real science I suppose.

Not related to the movie, however I met Doug Flutie once. Nice man and still handsome. Unfortunately shorter than I am, and, well, we are both married to others. Our sons went to his junior high and the school had him speak. He signed two programs which I need to give our boys if I find them again.
IF the Hollyweird writers could come up with something orignal that I was interested in, I'd go.
IF they used leads that were good looking, I'd go.
IF they'd shut up about politics I'd go.
Otherwise I wait and pick and choose. A movie will look good, then I see who is starring, and nope! That witch Kidman is in everything! I can't stand her!!!

There are now about 6000 "confirmed exoplanets" and I was looking at just what criteria "confirms" it.
It takes multiple observations with at least two different techniques, like radial velocity and transit methods.
The probability these are not "planets" as we think of them orbiting their host star is very low. It looks, quacks, and swims like a duck.

The expression goes back at least to the 1930s, when it was used publicly by Elmer Layden and Jim Crowley, two former members of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's Four Horsemen. Originally meaning any sort of desperation play, a Hail Mary pass gradually came to denote a long, low-probability pass, typically of the "alley-oop" variety, attempted at the end of a half when a team is too far from the end zone to execute a more conventional play, implying that it would take a miracle for the play to succeed. For more than 40 years, use of the term was largely confined to Notre Dame and other Catholic universities.

That's her argument for why being born in the USA should make you a citizen, you'd get arrested for pickpocketing in Japan.
In her defense I would agree to this concept: we should have the same policy as Japan where you do not become a citizen simply by being born there.

I genuinely enjoyed Sinners , but it was very clear the movie was very anti-white at basically every level.
The creator was clearly a racist.
It was also nowhere near an Oscar worthy movie, it was just a horror movie that punched above its weight. But DEI is what matters most to these people.
A white director or writer and this thing would have not gotten a single nom.
My wife made me watch this with her. It was a mid vampire movie. For me, any movie where you can k*ll the vampires rather than f*ck them, is a net positive. I thought it was..ok. Honestly Dusk til Dawn was way better and I f**king hate Jerg Clooners and I still watch it every time it's on.
When i heard it got an Oscar nomination, i blurted out...it's a f**king vampire movie. Why??

I will also say that you get to know the alien a LOT more in the book. And he's actually been at Tau Ceti for 53 years before Grace comes along. They're very long-lived aliens.

SPOILERS: I thought the movie would have been so much better if from the book they'd had left in/added that Rocky had been at Tau Ceti for years by himself (46??), that his species had no concept of relativity (Rocky he arrived quicker than he thought and used less astrophage fuel - hence why he could give Grace some fuel to get home) or the electromagnetic forces (and had no computers; that's why gift of laptop was a big deal), had no concept of sight or colors (amazed that humans can 'hear' light), the nitrogen issue with the astrophage predator and why they had nitrogen, more about the Rocky's physiology, and add more examples that show what a smart and capable engineer Rocky was. I don't think all of that would have taken more than 10 minutes of screen time. I also understand why they choose the last scenes on Earth with the video from Grace, but I liked how the book had Grace find out his work had saved the Earth.

Weir actually does mention global warming in the book and treats it as legit settled science. There's even a subplot where they nuke Antarctica in order to put more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, heat up the planet, and buy humanity a little more time.
I found it interesting that the movie(which I thought was enjoyable, but inferior to the novel) omitted all that. I guess Amazon/MGM really did want to ditch any potential political messaging.

Supreme Court Appears "Skeptical" of Trump's Completely-Correct Arguments on Birthright Citizenship
Plus: Trump to Sign EO Cracking Down on Illegal Mail-In Voting
Of course. Republicans nominate liberals to the Supreme Court, recommended by the fake conservatives of the Federalist Society.
Of course the liberal woman and libertarian sissy are defecting, as usual.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday mostly appeared skeptical of the Trump administration's argument to end birthright citizenship for babies born to parents who are not U.S. citizens. Solicitor Gen. D. John Sauer argued Wednesday before the high court, with President Trump in attendance, that birthright citizenship "rewards illegal immigration" and urged the justices to rule that the children of temporary visitors and illegal immigrants should not be deemed as citizens at birth, the Los Angeles Times reported. Most of the justices, on the 9-member bench, said the Constitution had been interpreted for more than a century to grant citizenship to "all persons born" in the U.S., regardless of the citizenship status of their parents. Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett said the 19th-century debates over citizenship focused on newborns, not their parents' legal status. "In none of the debates are parents discussed," Gorsuch said.
So she's already gone -- she's stating that she already knows exactly what the 14th Amendment means.
Barrett said the 14th Amendment's framers declared a "new type of American citizenship. ... They don't focus on the parents. They focus on the child."
Justice Elena Kagan told Sauer that he was seeking a major revision in longstanding law. "Birthright citizenship has been the rule for a very long time," she said. Because of this, she said, why "accept this revisionist history?" ... Sauer argued in response that this understanding of birthright citizenship had been wrong from the beginning. He said the citizenship rule did not extend to the children of immigrants and visitors who were "subject to a foreign power," as those people did not have "allegiance" to the U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts was also skeptical, saying, "It's a new world, but it is the same Constitution."And there you go. The Grim Troika again. You can listen to live arguments here, if you can take it. Go to the right sidebar and scroll down to Wednesday's arguments. (I can't link it directly.) Trump is ready to sign another EO, which our corrupt liberal Supreme Court will probably strike down because they don't want to stop Democrats from openly stealing elections.
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday cracking down on mail-in voting across the country, the Daily Caller learned first. The executive order will require the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a list of verified U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state with the Social Security Administration's help, according to a fact sheet shared with the Caller. The presidential action will also require that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) only send absentee ballots to those on each state's approved mail-in ballot list. Ballots will now have specific secure envelopes, with unique barcodes for tracking, the order mandates. States will be provided with their revised list of confirmed voters no less than 60 days before each federal election under the order.
The executive order also tells the U.S. Attorney General to prioritize investigating and prosecuting anyone accused of sending ballots to ineligible voters, the Caller learned. States that disobey the order may lose federal funds under the presidential action.
... The action comes as the U.S. Senate continues to debate the SAVE America Act. Under the legislation, voters would be required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and ID, states would be required to clean up their voter rolls and approved reasons for mail-in ballots would be restricted.

"In the warped world of the radical left, being subject to criminal prosecution is now the same thing as the “allegiance” required for birthright citizenship.
Jackson laid out a convoluted hypothetical involving a trip to Japan.
Her argument? If she steals a wallet in Tokyo and gets arrested, she is suddenly “owing allegiance” to the Japanese sovereign.
“If I steal someone’s wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It’s allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law?” Jackson posited. “So there’s this relationship based on even though I’m a temporary traveler… I’m still locally owing allegiance in that sense.”"

The odds of any Supreme Court in the 21st century -- short of a wet-dream Court of five Clarence Thomases and four Sam Alitos -- ruling against birthright citizenship are .... zero-point-zero. Maybe less than that.

IF the baby is considered a citizen, it's a minor, so.......
It goes with the parents when they're deported. The child can come back when it's 18 as an adult citizen. No family riding the coattails.
But I still think the child shouldn't be a citizen from birth just because.

My impression is that subsequent court cases built off that ruling, extending the error of the interpretation of the 14th. Clearly the legislature understood by the 1920s law regarding American Indians they needed to pass a law clarifying this topic. I am unaware of any further legislative action agreeing to universal birthright citizenship. It seems it all came from the Courts reading of the 14th, meaning the legislature will not be able to just pass a new law, because a law cannot override an amendment. By all rights, the 1920s law should have been unconstitutional, because it assumed they were not citizens even though they were most certainly born here.

But in the 18th century, if you were born in a place you existed in that place, likely for all your life. Crossing the Atlantic was dangerous, time consuming and expensive. It was just a wholly different issue.
Today we have Chinese flying to CA (or Mariana Islands) and becoming citizens. They can now vote. *Their kids can be citizens too* So can their grandkids,etc. What can not go on forever can not go on forever. This either ends at the SCOTUS, or in the future when 1,000,000 chinese nationals with US citizenship take over our elections and country.

I knew somebody would make that asinine case.
But here's the thing, if anytime you go to another country you are "subject to their jurisdiction", why would that be something that needs to be specified?
That phrase is simply being carried along as a reference to its meaning before the 14th amendment.

Who is gonna raise these kids in the USA? Serious question. These illegal births are generally poor migrants with no roots in the USA. If we send the parents packing, then who is gonna raise the kids? Sure, adoption is an option, but I'll guarantee that "poor brown child of illegals" doesn't rank high on adoptive parents' wish lists.

It's a way to backdoor pressure the judges to "meet the public's expectations" which themselves have now been set by the media...
As for the case...children are minors...they can't be subject to the jurisdiction...only their parents can. It would have been an interesting question, and maybe it was asked, if biological parents birth the child here, and then abandon it to the adoption system, could that child solely have citizenship. As in, as long as the parents go home and stay home in their previous country, they could have a baby to grow here (as long as the baby was adopted by US parents)...they themselves just get no bennies ever from the baby's birth location...it's like the reverse of Hollywood taking babies from overseas, but overseas giving them here...

What bugs me is why did SCOTUS take the case if they are so skeptical? They could have punted and let stand the lower court rulings that said anyone born here is a citizen no matter what but they did not do that and chose to take the case.
I suspect they are going to try and twist the language of the 14th amendment into something bizarre.

Crazy story out of Nepal:
Trekking company owners, helicopter operators, hospital executives, and mountain guides have all been caught in a dangerous scam. The guides put baking soda in the tourist's food. This gives the poisoned tourist severe gastric distress. The guides and medical teams then pressure them to evacuate by an expensive ride via helicopter to the local hospital. The hospital then falsely identifies the gastric distress as altitude sickness. Everybody profits at the expense of the tourist.

"The Artemis II mission crew contains four people — including one woman and one Black man, both of whom will be the first on a lunar mission. But NASA hasn't been talking about these milestones much.
Language celebrating this diversity has largely disappeared from NASA's website and rhetoric since Trump took office. He signed an executive order directing federal agencies to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion programs. The first Black astronaut to travel into space was Guion Bluford. He flew on the space shuttle Challenger in 1983. Since then, there have been other notable Black people in space, such as Mae Jemison or Leland Melvin. But these names aren't nearly as established in American folklore as moon walkers Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin from the 1960s.
The homogeneity of the Astronaut Corps - all white, Christian men, married with children, jet test piloting experience - was seen at the time as hallmark of the exclusivity of the program."

I'm shocked. I expected the Roberts court to twist itself into a pretzel over this one.
Don't be shocked until we get the ruling. We will likely get exactly what we expect from this group.
There were moments where it felt like ACB, Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh were trying desperately to grasp for any thread of a legitimate argument for the EO. The fixation on “domicile” and exactly what that means and whether it’s relevant to the QP was exhausting.
As long as the Roberts court can touch the bases of “Unitary executive theory”, “national security”, and “history”- there’s nothing they can’t justify.
Will they overturn a 150-year precedent to completely destroy the lives of newborn babies? Yes, probably. They will find a way to do it. Anything great and positive and magnanimous about America - they will find a way to kill it, without going through the necessary amendment-process. They will *think* and *interpret* it out of existence. I expect nothing but the worst from them.

That's funny from a group of people who criticize the idea of originalism constantly. There, they argue: "Who can tell what a 200-year-old text really means?"
But it doesn't say "except diplomats and envoys". In that case, you could argue "it means what it says", but to find out what it says, you have to under stand the 19th century reading of "subject to the jurisdiction".
Newborns, born in America are born on American soil. But in what sense are they "subject to the jurisdiction"? They'll get arrested for DUIs? Not sure what crime even infants can commit, unless it's misgendering their brother who feels really more like a sister.

- They did not intend it to apply to tourists or those who are loyal to another country, or even "gypsies" or anyone not in good standing
- The text approved by committee was sloppy and they did not quite agree on what it meant, but agreed on what it should mean
- The committee that wrote the amendment was worthless.
- The Senators that debated it were worthless, lazy, and stupid. They knew it was shit, but they moved it on for US to deal with in future.

However, I got an impression a majority might agree that Congress can pass a bill defining exactly what 'subject to the jurisdiction of' means in this context. For example, meaning what Trump's team argued for today. A vote on any such bill will never happen, of course. There's nothing in it for any current or future non-Left Congresscritter. Oh well, Trump and the Solicitor General and staff did give it a try.

Uh-oh, they've got a range safety "issue" they're "working". As of now, range is no-go for launch.
The problem is with the FTS system (flight termination, the self-destruct system if the rocket goes out of control).
From what I just understood they've sent somebody to the VAB to fetch a piece of "legacy hardware" from the Shuttle days they hope to be able to use to fix something.

Sorry, they're not saying "legacy hardware", it's "heritage hardware". Heritage hardware... Okay.
So, the FTS isn't working, and they've sent some guy to rummage around the cavernous VAB looking for some piece of old equipment they're supposed to still have lying around.

This is very, very ugly. Adopting children is a great option and it should be something we strongly support in our quest to end abortion. An adopted child has the exact same standing as a biological child. The birth certificate for an adopted child looks no different than a birth certificate for biological children.

The 14th is a good example of how exuberance should not be the propulsion behind Constitutional amendments.
Hudson confused the enumerated powers which limited the ways that the federal government could interfere with you, with its complement of when the federal government starts insisting to the state that you have this newly found right, on the basis that our rights are not numerable.

The New York Times Shrieks About the 1% Recividivism Rate for Pardoned J6 Protesters, But Continues to Support the Release of Hardened Criminals with 30%+ Recidivisim Rates
From David Strom, we must re-carcerate the J6 protesters.
But we should also allow Iryna Zarutska's butcher to keep killing women until he's all "murdered out." Strom is amused/angry that the NYT has suddenly discovered a zeal for punishment by incarceration -- but only for conservative political prisoners.
Maybe it was an April Fool's joke? The New York Times, which is deeply upset that Trump is arresting rapists, pedophiles, and sex traffickers to deport, wants you to know that the people Trump pardoned over January 6th infractions are on a crime spree. Crime spree. Apparently, of the more than 1200 people he has pardoned, 12 have been arrested for a crime since their pardon.Twelve people. Obviously, I want any of these people who committed a crime to get the appropriate punishment, and I wish I could say the same thing about New York Times readers and writers. But they only care about criminals who support Donald Trump. Antifa rioters? They are "protesters." Homeless drug addicts pooping on the streets? "Victims." Somali fraudsters? No big deal. Hamas supporters taking over college campuses? They are bravely expressing their First Amendment rights. The man who slashed Iryna Zarutska's throat committed more felonies than all the January 6ers combined, and The New York Times barely tut-tuts. Illegal alien gang members? They are our "neighbors."
"One does not have to be a criminologist to predict that people who commit a violent act and are absolved of any punishment might become repeat offenders,"
Daniel FriedmanSay -- what's the recidivism rate for antifa street thugs repeatedly sentenced to "time served" -- just the hours or days they spent in county jail awaiting their "sentencing"? What do you guess the repeat-offender rate is there? 100% or thereabouts? By the way, the J6ers were held without trial for up to a year, often in the most degrading and intentionally-damaging conditions. Some were held in solitary confinement for no reason except to punish before trial.
@DanFriedman81 The Times editorial board points out that 12 people Trump pardoned for January 6 offenses have been rearrested in the 14 months since Trump pardoned them. Trump pardoned 1270 January 6 convicts. That is a rate of 1% of pardon recipients reoffending. Among arrestees free pending trial in New York City under the 2018 bail reform, about 22% are rearrested within 6 months. The people we need to worry about becoming repeat offenders after being absolved of punishment are not the J6ers. I am all for a punitive justice system. I am all for mass incarceration. But to pretend the J6 offenders are dangerous recidivists who need to be locked up while it's fine to immediately release most criminals arrested by the NYPD is profoundly ridiculous.
The Times editorial board points out that 12 people Trump pardoned for January 6 offenses have been rearrested in the 14 months since Trump pardoned them. Trump pardoned 1270 January 6 convicts. That is a rate of 1% of pardon recipients reoffending.

Yes it does. It is estimated that the Bloody Codes adopted by Parliament in the 1700's was responsible for England being far more peaceable and law abiding by the time of the Victorian era.

The NYT doesn't understand that a 1% recividivism rate not only doesn't support their theory that J6ers are bad guys, it actually shows just the opposite: that J6ers are nearly universally law-abiding people, and far less criminal than the average person.
By contrast, the recidivism rate for actual criminals is at least 35-50x higher than the J6ers.

He laughed about Juneteenth becoming a holiday because he knew nobody up there knows shit about it. He couldn't believe the praise 'ol George was getting because he knew people like him that are a drag to be around (one was his brother).

At least one of the Jan 6ers, John Earle Sullivan, was BLM/Antifa and a "photojournalist," was egging them on to start fires and hurt people in the Capitol, and was the guy that got the footage of Ashi Babbitt getting shot. Then sold it for money.
He stupidly recorded audio of himself ENCOURAGING arson. That's why they convicted him. But Pres Trump pardoned him in that big sweep of people he pardoned.
from his Wiki: "On November 16, 2023, Sullivan was convicted of five felonies and two misdemeanor charges. On April 23, 2024, he was sentenced to six years in prison. On January 20, 2025, the first day of the second presidency of Donald Trump, Sullivan was pardoned along with nearly every other participant in the Capitol attack."

The memes about that are hilarious. The one of Marco Rubio having to take on the job of being Kristy Noem's husband, and he's wearing the huge fake boobs, is killer.
Apparently the final straw that made Trump let her go was that she was dodgy on the stand about her affair. The overspending for her dumb ads when we are trying to DOGE down the deficit didn't help. But I'm glad her demotion happened before the pics of her husband leaked.

Contaminated sample. Illegals in sanctuary jurisdictions are often administratively cleared even on fairly serious offenses like DUI, etc. because it might subject them to deportation. So police agencies turn a blind eye on chargeable offenses--sometimes even violent ones.
Unz did some early work dealing only with California arrests in the 90's which is where a distorted view of immigration crimes comes into play. But he ignored federal crimes including serious drug crimes, immigration fraud related crimes including welfare benefits, identity theft, and other non violent crimes.
When including those factors, the crime rate is substantially more. At least double maybe triple at the low end. Half or more at the high end including misdemeanors, etc.

Think about it. They KNOW that mass-releases of criminals in the blue shitholes is driving rape, murder, assault, and theft. THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF DOING IT.
You think they won't do an endzone dance like this just to get an extra measure of assholery in?
We are still in the stage where they feel they can't lose - Trump is just a transient speedbump, so the keep on with the plan to put the screws to us. If we don't do anything back, they win. If we do, the knives come out and they can start rounding up the kulaks. They feel that with near-total control of the MSM there is no way to over-commit.
Along that vein, I'm not the only one keenly watching the birthright case argument with the understanding that if the .gov doesn't unfuck themselves on this, we are virtually guaranteed to see political/ethnic cleansing at some point, at a minimum (against who remains to be seen). The progs' behavior is calculated to enrage and specific items like the foreign invasion aren't tolerable.

I'd like to know what the 1% of pardoned J-6ers were arrested for.
How many cases assignable to disruption and stress of being locked up in intentionally abusive conditions for a year without charges? Loss of employment, houses, marriages?
How many because some law enforcement knew who they were, and were eager to get them for something, anything?

I think the EO loses. I don't think the ACLU will like the fact that a majority will kick it to Congress to legislate, not a constitutional amendment as most of the court are supposedly originalist and the historical record using subject to the jurisdiction thereof is clear as well as caselaw.
Remember that Congress set natural born citizenship to include the Canal Zone and for parents of children at foreign military bases. That is why John McCain could run for president as a natural born citizen despite being born in the Canal Zone. His admiral father was stationed at the Canal Zone at the time.
So a split the baby decision that allows Trump to pivot and use that as another cudgel to beat Congress and the Senate with. Will be an election issue in 2026 if that is the case.

Also, his parents were citizens. Children of citizens are natural born -- it has FUCKING nothing to do with where they are born.

The case is a lot more complicated than that. The EO was a means of forcing the issue onto a reluctant ruling class. Court will have a lot more trouble trying to get a majority to rule what the ACLU wants which strips out the words subject to the jurisdiction thereof from the 14th Amendment. I don't think absolute jus soli is going to fly in the ruling. My guess again is that the dispute is kicked to Congress to resolve as it has in prior precedents. That can be done without disturbing Elkins nor Wong Ark Kim caselaw.
My guess is a plurality opinion with a bunch of concurrences and at least one or two dissents. This is going to be like the Obamacare case in my estimation. Some parts for everyone to hate.

Trump did it to force the issue and it worked. And no, I don't think it will enshrine what the ACLU wants even if and when the EO is terminated by a ruling. Both Roberts and ACB are essentially cowards but they would find a hard time to reconcile what the ACLU wants and their supposed originalism. Ditto for textualism from Gorsuch. Alito and Thomas are likely to dissent in part and concur in part is my guess.
I don't see the left gaining much if anything out of it to be honest. There is enough justices to disturb the status quo that is what I think they will do. Rule against the EO, kick the debate over to Congress.
And no, I don't think like Schlicter thinks it will take a constitutional amendment.
Trump is likely though to limit visas to foreigners with third term pregnancies and strike at birthing centers (which are already illegal under existing law).

Good days and bad days, had to have the cervical spine operation as I was losing feeling and control of arms and hands. But fusing the cervical region via a cage means the stress is concentrated lower. Already have 1 herniated thoracic disk and 4 in the lumbar so the pain in those joints is substantial along with muscle spasms from the readjustment process.
The muscle tightness in the cervical region is much diminished as time goes on so everything has moved downward.

It is much worse - tourists to some US overseas possessions receive US citizenship and the Chinese have turned it into a vacation industry - show up, drop a kid, they are a US citizen. Obama made this happen (probably for kickbacks) and it is a very big deal. Google Mariana Islands and birth tourism.

325 mg acetaminophen is not a lot. Vicodin used to have 500 mg.
Where people get into trouble is when they combine extra acetaminophen in various OTC products with existing pain meds like Nyquil, Tylenol or Headache formulas, etc.
Think the upper limit per day (which is probably generous is about 3000 mg which down from the absolute limit of 4000 previously.
When I do take acetaminophen products, I keep it under 1800 mg per day.

Later cases casually calling children of illegal aliens citizens were drive-by rulings with no real analysis.
The executive order is prospective only. No retroactive stripping of citizenship."
---
That's what I keep saying:
Everyone is focused on the wrong question.
The left wants to make this about the horrors of shipping people who've been here for decades out.
And all it does is say, "we no longer deeming children born here of illegals as citizens."
Children who never had citizenship.
Once you strip out "what are we to do with those who are already here?!" with "nothing, they stay" then this is merely no different than, say ... ruling gay marriage is a Constitutional right--overturning near 200 years of practice and law.
Going forward, the parents of noncitizens have to prove their child is a citizen.
Shifting the burden, that's all, where before, the government had to prove they were not a citizen.
That's why I say it's 6-3--since it doesn't change the status of anyone already here.

Eh, painful but that is what inflammatory arthritis leads to. So far, I've kept it away from internal organs so I am better off than others.
Part of it was that the injectables have spike and then fall in levels over time. In my case, that meant about 1/3 of the month, I had levels of the injectables insufficient to ward off arthritic damage. And the injectable biologics can have some side effects.
The pill forms are weaker but right now is keeping my inflammation markers more stable because I take a dose daily. But the first pill I took, stopped being effective around about the covid era from 2020-2023. That required a return to Humira, and then to Cosentyx which never worked right for me in the last two years.

Crazy story out of Nepal:
Trekking company owners, helicopter operators, hospital executives, and mountain guides have all been caught in a dangerous scam. The guides put baking soda in the tourist's food. This gives the poisoned tourist severe gastric distress. The guides and medical teams then pressure them to evacuate by an expensive ride via helicopter to the local hospital. The hospital then falsely identifies the gastric distress as altitude sickness. Everybody profits at the expense of the tourist.

Rubio Blasts Our Frenemy "Allies:" You Know, We Don't Rely On Oil That Passes Through the Strait of America. You Do.
Europe, the world's most arrogant welfare moocher, wants us to -- get this -- do all the work for them while they can keep sitting on the couch fingering each other up the bungholes.
Overton
@overton_news Secretary Marco Rubio just delivered a BRUTAL wake-up call to U.S. allies refusing to step up on the Strait of Hormuz. "We depend very little on the straits -- this is a problem for the WORLD." RUBIO: "Well, the Straits of Hormuz, those are international waters, so anything Iran does to impede commercial traffic is illegal." "For all these countries that like to talk about international law, it is a violation of international maritime law to impede the free flow of travel in international waters, so that's number one." "Number two, it's illegal to bomb and hit and attack commercial shipping, and sink them." "That's what the Nazis did during World War II in the Atlantic, and that's what they are doing now to ships from countries they don't like, flagged by countries they don't like." "These are TERRORISTIC acts that they are undertaking." "So the United States gets very little energy through the Strait of Hormuz." "Our allies ship out a lot of oil through there...and certainly countries in Asia and Europe on it." "We depend very little on the straits, if, in fact, Iran decides to set up a toll, if, in fact, Iran decides that they are going to illegally control the Straits of Hormuz..." "I imagine that will be the president's call whether he wants to help but this is a problem for the world." "It's countries around the world that should be stepping up and dealing with that and saying that's intolerable and that's what we've encouraged them to do." Rubio just exposed the truth -- Iran is committing terroristic acts in international waters and America's allies are sitting on their hands.

The European population of Europe is old, lazy, and dying out. They only want to hold onto their pensions and what little retirement assets they have. They have neither the will nor the ability to resist the feral class of foreign savages invading their countries. Some of them -- just like in the USA -- are cheering on their own colonization.
Trump understands that Europe is dying. That's why he's been bolstering and building relationships with other countries, like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Why?
China cannot invade, let alone continue to maintain status as they do without Iran/Oil. Any invasion of the Taiwan strait will involve mining it, which when the euroMONSTERS are desperate enough will beg Trump to demine Hormuz in a way that will forever preclude China's mining of the strait and forever close the window on their Taiwan ambitions

Yes, but also I think a major reason why Europe doesn't want to help out in any war against an Islamic country is because they have been so infiltrated and invaded by radioactive Muslim CHUDs that European leaders are afraid of murderous reprisals by these lunatics. And on that score, they are probably right.
We in the USA have our own Muslim problem. It is much worse in Europe. If Keir Starmer comes out in support of USA against Iran, those gay Ukrainian rentboys will be the least of his worries. Muslims run the UK now.

Grok said Canada actually has 16 oil refineries and Australia has 2. I thought the Aussies grabbed that golden Net Zero ring and had none.
More info.
Canada sends the vast majority of its exported crude oil to the United States to be processed in U.S. refineries (particularly those configured for heavy oil sands crude in the Midwest/PADD 2 and Gulf Coast/PADD 3). In recent years (2023–2025 data), Canada exported approximately 3.8 to 4.3 million barrels per day (MMb/d) of crude oil to the U.S., representing about 95–97% of Canada's total crude exports.
This volume accounts for roughly 60% of all U.S. crude imports and about 23–24% of total U.S. refinery throughput. U.S. refineries process this Canadian crude (mostly heavy grades) into refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and petrochemicals.
The "returned" portion (refined products imported back to Canada)
Canada has limited domestic refining capacity (~1.9 MMb/d total, with much of it in Ontario, Quebec, and the West), so it imports a significant share of its refined petroleum products (RPPs) from the U.S.

I think it's deeper and more nefarious than that. Just like George Galloway and Iraq, I'm convinced that there are quite a few European politicians and bureacrats who were making a rather nice nest egg off of the Iranians by covertly allowing them to circumvent sanctions for a little personal scratch.
These same politicians need the regime to stay in place for financial, and reputational reasons (also criminal reasons).
Personally, I think there are quite a few European opportunists that are pissed off something fierce because of this, but can't come out and explain themselves....so they just sit back and do nothing.

According to "experts," text using "methinks" and em dashes is a sign that it was written by AI.
I like to use both — methinks I am screwed.
(Guess what text is readily available to train AI on? Literature from pre 1900s in the public domain, which liberally uses both. I suspect that is why AI adds it to writing so much.)

The reason they don't is because of ports.
A way around that is, a boat, like a pilot boat, goes out and either collects the weapons or weapons and mercs before the ship enters port. Nothing stops them from having weapons on the open ocean. It's just countries laws while in port.

I got to shoot the breeze with a friend that has a family farm. The price of fertilizer never went down, and is currently outrageous. If the price of diesel does not drop back to below $5 a gallon soon, there's a lot of small family farms that need to fertilize soon, and they won't be able to afford the gas to power their equipment to put down the fertilizer on their fields.
My friend was kicking themselves they didn't stock up on diesel, back when gas prices plummeted right before the Iran conflict happened. But they thought it would keep dropping.
They voted for Trump and don't regret it. But the point of Trump is that the little guy in America feels heard and looked after. They are not feeling that right now. Trump can't afford to lose rural America in the midterms. If there's any way to ease our pump prices soon, I have a feeling he'll have to do it so he doesn't lose support.

Trump's already told the EU that if they want oil shipments, come and get them. Taking Kharg Island with the tanker terminals, refineries and whatnot would only provide security at that point, not in Hormuz.

______
Yes.
If Iran is an existential threat, then I want a full-scale invasion to role the regime, coordinated with the opposition to ensure a transition to a stable, friendly government. From what I've seen that's doable.
But that's the kind of thing that we have to be sure about. It's the kind of thing that Congress needs to authorize, and the public had to get on board with. If we're going to do this, we need to commit to it and do it right.
I'm not convinced that Iran is that kind of threat though, not least because Trump never tried to convince me. He was just like "Trust me bro."

Back in 68 The Doors had a tiny sound system on a bare stage with one or two roadies.

What is left of Iran's economy is hanging by a thread that runs through a narrow strait. We can close that strait from our end whenever we like. Iran has zero leverage against us in any negotiation. And Rubio is pointing that out in a way Iran will understand, but the populace here will not.
We are energy independent, and Iran at its worst can not do more to our gas prices than Biden intentionally did as part of his policies. So the one thing people point to as how Iran has us over a barrel is just the opposite. This all needs to be explained more clearly.

Trump Becomes First Sitting President to Attend Supreme Court Oral Arguments, Showing Up to Hear Discussion About His Birthright Citizenship Executive Order
Oh no Trump is threatening the Supreme Court with his presence or something
President Donald Trump plans to sit in on Wednesday's Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship, making him the first sitting president to attend oral arguments at the nation's highest court. The Republican president's official schedule, sent out by the White House, included a stop at the Supreme Court, where justices will hear Trump's appeal of a lower court ruling that struck down his executive order limiting birthright citizenship. The order, which Trump signed on the first day of his second term, declared that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens. It's an about-face from the long-standing view that the Constitution's 14th Amendment and federal law since 1940 confer citizenship to everyone born on American soil, with narrow exceptions. It's not the first time Trump has considered showing up for a high court hearing. Last year, Trump said that he badly wanted to attend a hearing on whether he overstepped federal law with his sweeping tariffs, but he decided against it, saying it would have been a distraction. On Tuesday, however, Trump seemed more sure he'd be in court for Wednesday's hearing while he spoke with reporters in the Oval Office. "I'm going," Trump said, when the upcoming arguments in the birthright citizenship case were mentioned. To a follow-up question clarifying that he planned to go in person, Trump said, "I think so, I do believe."The argument is about the 14th Amendment's declaration that any person "born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a citizen. This was intended to make it clear that slaves released from bondage after the Civil War were now citizens. The whole point of the "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" line was to make it clear that this did not apply to foreigners, who are subject to the jurisdiction of a foreign sovereign. We should win this case on the merits, but we're fighting against more than logic here. Meanwhile, a drunk Congresskaren overreacted as we've come to expect AWFULs to overreact 24/7/365:
In a now deleted post, Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) said of President Trump going to SCOTUS this morning:

It took later legislation to make the Indians citizens.
Why? They weren't subject to the jurisdiction of the US government
This is also true for illegals. Because if they were subject they wouldn't be here.
It still allows the children of legal visitors to get citizenship, which is stupid, but at least this would stop 90%+ of these cases.

I'm surprised no sitting president has ever attended a SCOTUS meeting before. "Separation of Powers" doesn't mean that one can't sit in and listen to arguments/decisions, nor should it. I am sure that he wants to hear the decision firsthand.
Most people who are "on trial" get to hear their verdicts live, no?

The founders separate powers between the legislative and executive branches with only a modicum going to the judicial, but they also built a system that distributed power between the federal, state, and local governments AND religious and civic groups.
The left has burned all that and somehow makes the argument that not letting the permanent bureaucracy control the country violates the separation of power...?

And, you'll note, the pretend plaintiff's in this case were pregnant women.
(Which they sought out as plaintiff's in violation of ethical rules, btw.)
Anyway, everyone is trying to read this as, "but what do we do with all the children already born here?!" and that's the wrong question.
Every year, all over the nation, what was legal before, what you were allowed to do, changes with a mere signature of a governor or the President.
Or, bluntly, most states legally banned fags from pretending to be married until "sweet mysteries of the night" suddenly found that was a Constitutional right.
6 in favor of the EO as it is written.
Roberts and ACB pretend to split the baby and give a win to the left by saying it doesn't apply to children already born her.
The other four say as an aside, "duh."
Of course, the three idiots will all say that even a toe just across the border is an "olly-olly oxen free" everyone is a citizen.

Yep. It was on a treaty that the Senate was debating. Washington found the experience degrading to the executive branch and preemptively ended the possibility of Question Time in Congress for the US presidency. And he should have based on separation of powers.

The plaintiffs are trying to say that only was meant to exclude ambassadors and diplomats.
One of the Justices asked something like, "well, if that's what it means, how come they didn't just write 'ambassadors, diplomats and Indians?"
The response was something like, to launch into a muddled discussion of "well under common law everyone knew that's all it meant."
Or, to put it another way, if the exception to birth citizenship was a narrow class, why did they not write that and instead used the more expansive "subject to the jurisdiction?"

No. They are discussing domiciled here which if Scotus splits the baby, as I suspect it will due to the Rule of 4 needed to even grant cert. Basically that sojourners aka tourists, etc. would NOT be considered domiciled under the Congressional debate over the 14th. And that echoes from British law--travelers, foreign diplomats, etc. passing through were not considered subjects of the king or queen.
That would restrict citizenship to children of those with working visas that allowed them to be here.
These complications are probably why I think Scotus will punt the whole debate to Congress as it can decide then which of the people here on visas are 'domiciled or reside' in the US.
FWIW, 4 Justices had to consider overturning the lower courts in the first place to hear the case.

My question is about U.S. Senate parliamentary procedure. I know that there are a lot of things about it that are mere convention, not a mandatory rule, like the "blue slip" approval for Presidential nominees in a Senator's state. I think the Senate President pro tem is another one, and Majority Leader Thune apparently just let the Senate go on two-week vacation. So.
As the Constitutional President of the Senate, could Vice-President Vance force the Senate into formal recess, when they don't have a physical quorum present to prevent him? They've been doing some cutesy formal nominal sessions to prevent President Trump from being able to make recess appointments the way every other President has been able to do, and I'm wondering if it's mere courtesy that is keeping the Administration from forcing the issue, or if the President pro tem actually has that much formal power somehow.

Eh, justices that don't like him may have colleagues they don't like as well. Justice Jackson seems to be even on the outs with her erstwhile leftist justices like Sotomayor and Kagan.
Basically, I think all along this was Trump's moving the Overton Window and rightfully so. The power has always been with Congress to legislate just as they did to extend voting to Indians on reservations (aka non-taxables) in the 20's.
Even Wong Ark Kim decision declined to extend citizenship beyond a son admitted from two legally admitted immigrants. That decision ignored the subject to the jurisdiction thereof which was common for the rancid Scotus courts post civil war.
Trump is forcing Scotus and Congress to address the situation and 4 justices agreed that it was time to do so.

As I have repeatedly said, Congress due to prior precedents is given full enumerated power over immigration. The EO may be struck down but my guess is that Congress will be allowed to set what subject to the jurisdiction thereof means just like other immigration laws and creating voting and full citizenship for Native Americans on reservations in the 1920's. That was not Scotus doing it, it was Congress.

I suspect what he's doing is taking control of some narrative and putting air back in to the conversation that got him elected.
It also keeps the media from ignoring it until the day of the ruling when they can brag that Trump's EO got fucked by the SC and make it look like another loss in a string of losses. Which means "nationwide" discussion of the *issue* is forced not just the outcome. It's a strong move.
They're gonna rule the way they're gonna rule and if they're not, then we have much bigger problems than birthright citizenship.

Yes, in the 50s. That was the immigration rules my grandparents came over here with. They were basically indentured servants to their employer and/or sponsor, and they didn't make waves so they wouldn't lost their employment. But it was only for a few years, and then they were free to go wherever they wanted.
Thank the Chappaquidick Kennedy for killing that.

Still the law, been unenforced but sponsors take pledges binding in court of financial liability if their immigrant ends up being a public charge to the US. The Hart-Celler Act removed the geographic quotas on immigration and created some new avenues that the older 1950's and earlier immigration acts did not have. It did not eliminate the public charge requirement.

The Constitution names the vice president of the United States as the president of the Senate. In addition to serving as presiding officer, the vice president has the sole power to break a tie vote in the Senate and formally presides over the receiving and counting of electoral ballots cast in presidential elections.
Today vice presidents serve as principal advisors to the president, but from 1789 until the 1950s their primary duty was to preside over the Senate. Since the 1830s, vice presidents have occupied offices near the Senate Chamber. Over the course of the nation’s history, the vice president’s influence evolved as vice presidents and senators experimented with, and at times vigorously debated, the role to be played by this constitutional officer.
I found this unhelpful. Though if he gets to interpret the rules and recognize debaters, he could be pretty powerful.

Section 5 of the 14th;
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Posted by: CTHillary, dead but dreaming at April 01, 2026 12:49 PM (Vpqw1)
The legislation directs the executive to take action.
Congress is not directly granting citizenship to people, the bureaucracy, part of the executive, handles the administration.
Conventionally, the bureaucracy has some flexibility when the law is ambiguous. Unless Congress were to clarify that they meant something else, there wouldn't seem to be an issue with an Executive Order to adhere to the original meaning of the amendment.

To reiterate, Congress set forth a set of conditions for citizenship. Those conditions are arguably ambiguous.
Trump has directed the bureaucracy to interpret the law in accordance with the authors of the law.

Exactly. All those church groups that sponsor immigrants could theoretically be on the hook for any of their sponsored immigrants that goes on the dole. But enforcement has been rare.
Basically the entire premise of our ruling class since the Simpson Mazzoli amnesty bill in 1986 is open borders bullshit--good for corporations and farmers (cheap labor), good for Democrats (more social spending and political clients), and screw the American public at large.
That is why they keep bringing up amnesty but fortunately Barry and his Dem Congress like to keep that dangling rather than ram it through. They want cover from the GOP corporate class before doing it.

1) they strike the EO and say Congress can fix it if they don't like it.
2) they uphold the EO and say Congress can fix it if they don't like it.
All I'm saying is, over the last 4 years or so, the Court has issued a lot of opinions that are "the law means precisely what it says, just because it was "always" interpreted the other way, just because a lot of people like it that way doesn't change that fact."
Recall, for decades, Roe v. Wade was called a "super-precedent."
Chevron was settled law.
Could they rule against Trump?* Yeah.
But if you take the strict meaning of the 14th, I don't see them reversing all the prior reasoning and saying, "but here, let's allow the broadest, most expansive meaning of the statute."
*look at the tariff opinion. The left wanted a broad rule of all tariffs and no power to declare emergency. But the opinion was, "in this narrow circumstance, under this statute only. And oh yeah, we're not going to deal with the consequences of this ruling (refunds)."

And an outcome of anchor babies, is the Chinese tourist baby industry, which brings their new American Baby back to China to be subjects of the CCP, from which they can emerge 18 years later as voting Americans (and still probably not subject to American law). This is just surrender of our country to foreign powers.
I hear a lot of middle class Mexicans have been doing the same thing for decades ... have the baby here for the future benefits, but move back home to Mexico (under whose laws they were always subject).

But if you take the strict meaning of the 14th, I don't see them reversing all the prior reasoning and saying, "but here, let's allow the broadest, most expansive meaning of the statute."
*look at the tariff opinion. The left wanted a broad rule of all tariffs and no power to declare emergency. But the opinion was, "in this narrow circumstance, under this statute only. And oh yeah, we're not going to deal with the consequences of this ruling (refunds)."

Sunk cost. The question is how to move forward and companies destroying pension plans means that for voters, the alternative is a rickety Social Security system or defined contribution 401k plans.
We have seen what happens in a natural experiment. How many people fully fund their 401k plans voluntarily? For most, it is always the devil of spending money today versus saving it for tomorrow. Make the future really uncertain, people will rationally spend today to avoid uncertainty.
And inevitably, those private piggybanks are just like Social Security, looked at by politicians as a way to grab it and spend it for their reelection, power, and wealth.

Ironically, Scotus has been pretty solid in immigration cases (obscured by lower courts Resist crap) and has continually ruled in favor of congressional laws that restrict even the court's abilities to interfere.
Immigration and naturalization is a direct enumerated power in Article I, Section 8 for Congress. "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization".
And kicking the can to Congress of the mess is appealing to Justices like ACB, Roberts, or perhaps even Kavanaugh or Gorsuch. It has A) strong legal precedents buttressing the idea that Congress make immigration law, B) historically accurate, C) politically removes Scotus from the inevitable wailing and retaliation by the left.

🚨 JUST IN: SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Jackson argues for illegal aliens having birthright citizenship by saying if she steals somebody's wallet in Japan, she has "allegiance" to that country
She has to freaking go. This is absurd. Actually.
"I was thinking, you know, I'm a U.S. citizen, am visiting Japan. And what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law?"
"So there's this relationship based on—even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense. Is that the right way to think about it?"
"And if so, doesn't that explain why both temporary residents and undocumented people would have that kind of, quote-unquote, allegiance, just by virtue of being in the United States?"

Grossly insufficient to retire or pay medical bills as the elderly. People arguing against the current compulsory Social Security and Medicare have a political problem that if the GOP does not fill the space, the Dems certainly will.

The upside is in doing so, it actually strengthens what the admin can do vis a vis immigration.
The other upside is it puts a big political issue front and center on the table, one that likely favors Trump.

What does the 401k carve out do to the employment market? It certainly has a measurable outcome.

Our tax system is voluntary, but don't pay and the IRS will take you house, your car, and your little doggy too. This does not happen with 401Ks. You can say "NO", and they can't force you to make use of them. That said, it seems, to a great extent, foolish not to make use of a 401K with employer match...

Immigration and naturalization is a direct enumerated power in Article I, Section 8 for Congress. "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization".
And kicking the can to Congress of the mess is appealing to Justices like ACB, Roberts, or perhaps even Kavanaugh or Gorsuch. It has A) strong legal precedents buttressing the idea that Congress make immigration law, B) historically accurate, C) politically removes Scotus from the inevitable wailing and retaliation by the left.

But if the narrow question is what the language of the 14th amendment actually means wrt birthright citizenship, it would be difficult for the Court to say, with a straight face*, that Congress gets to decide that constitutional question and the Court doesn't.

Dunno, the Overton Window is going away from Open Borders across the West. The left and their globo homo ruling class are trying to fight that but increasingly the facts on the ground are shifting the debate toward ending it.
Trump is good at making opponents pick the 20 percent option (and that would be like Action Jackson's stupid remark above) and then beating them about the head with it.
And Trump does have power of admittance and this will supercharge deportation under existing power and to deny for example, pregnant foreigners from admittance and airfare to the US.
He knows how to bring pain to his opponents and is likely to continue doing that for three years.

how many multi-employer union pensions?
"The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) stabilized the PBGC's multiemployer insurance program, extending its solvency from 2026 to 2055. It established the Special Financial Assistance (SFA) Program, providing $74–$91 billion to failing multiemployer pension plans, securing benefits for over 3 million workers."
Taxpayer funded, dear, for the 'working' and for the retired and their families.
By he way, NOT every retiree receives Social Security or goes onto Medicare, but do not single out those that have as worthless and a burden on the society that they've also supported.

It is less a constitutional question about subject to the jurisdiction thereof, it is a specific fact finding pattern best suited for Congressional definition.
Too tired and too limited to fully make this judicial temperament clear but judicial restraint types that have been the traditional GOPe appointees to courts, believe and claim that courts did too much. And therefore to maintain comity in our system with other branches, it should defer to Congress as to the particulars of policy unless it clearly violates the Constitution. And to determine that, judicial restraint types look toward the original understanding of the language, the subsequent actions by the Court in the past, and only then practical analysis of the problem.

Yes, in the 50s. That was the immigration rules my grandparents came over here with. They were basically indentured servants to their employer and/or sponsor, and they didn't make waves so they wouldn't lost their employment. But it was only for a few years, and then they were free to go wherever they wanted.
Thank the Chappaquidick Kennedy for killing that.

My grandparents immigrated here in the early part of the last century, 1900 to 1907. And the rules were very strict. You had to have employment lined up and be sponsored by a relative or spouse already here. Many of the Hungarian women were employed by the many cigar factories in the Perth Amboy/New Brunswick area. My maternal grandmother was no exception. Found her name on a manifest from 1907, and again on the 1910 census, living in New Brunswick, within walking distance of a cigar factory.

Given that Congress has already exercised that power regarding Indians, and supported by the dialogue of the 14th Amendment's ratification, and even the Wong Ark Kim decision (legal residency aka domiciled aka resides), easy enough to build a winning coalition that kicks the can to Congress rather than trying to institute a fiat court definition of natural born. For example, Congress is the one that extended that right to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (see Insular Cases), to Indians on reservations, and to the Panama Canal Zone (see the McCain case).
Want to see how the court avoids issues--look up the Guarantee Clause of a Republic. "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government". Then read Luther v. Borden. Court invents the political question doctrine here of justiciability.

And the others would do something called defensive denial. Simply put, for the most part, and this has been empirically proven in old docket books, in justice's papers and interviews. It is rare for those wanting to solidify a decision to vote to grant cert. After all, they could lose and enshrine a bad precedent.
That in part, is why 2A advocates are so frustrated with the court and 2A denials of cert are fairly frequent. It is because the justices needed to overturn laws like in NJ, etc. want to make sure they have a winning coalition in the first place.
Trump had already lost at lower courts which had enshrined the globo homo view of drop a kid on US soil, they become a citizen. This is a decision that will overturn the status quo to some degree, my guess is in line with other decisions, a messy plurality will kick it to Congress as the decisionmaker, not the Prezzie.

Wednesday Morning Rant
In Canada, MAID's goalposts have been moving rapidly. It took just five years for Canada to mash down the accelerator on MAID. When passed in 2016, MAID required a 10-day "reflection period" before a person could be eligible. This was repealed for terminal patients in 2021, and they installed a MAID express lane. There is still a waiting period for MAID's "Track 2" participants - which is for those without "forseeable death" - but it can also be waived. From "death as a mercy" to express-lane, state-sponsored killing in five years. Impressive.
But it doesn't stop there for MAID. MAID still doesn't kill citizens suffering only from mental illness. That is changing. It was supposed to change last year, but there was enough objection that it's been deferred until 2027. But they will get there, and open a whole category of people who can be killed by the state. Sure, it requires consent - but as we see reported frequently, MAID is enthusiastically offered to those seeking medical treatment and - unlike many other medical treatments in Canada - MAID acts fast. The slope is slippery indeed. Colorado also passed its euthanasia law in 2016. Unlike Canada, it took longer to start moving the goalposts. It wasn't until 2024 that they cut the waiting period in half and added a waiver process to skip the waiting period if the prescriber thinks death is imminent. That same year, Colorado also expanded who can prescribe the drugs to include Advanced Practice Registered Nurses in addition to doctors. This latter change was made specifically to cover doctor-scarce rural areas. Vermont passed its euthanasia law in 2013 and also took longer to start moving the goalposts. In 2022 they "expanded access" by eliminating one of the two waiting periods, allowing remote diagnosis ("telemedicine") and opening eligibility to non-residents. In neither state is it available for mental illness, nor can the doctor administer the drugs - but I will be surprised if it takes more than five years to get there under the banner of "expanded access." After all, neither state made it even a decade before hitting the accelerator. Then there is Spain. Spain was comparatively late to the party, not legalizing state-sponsored euthanasia until 2021. Spain does still have a waiting period, but also permits it for mental illness. That permission is not explicit, but it is nonetheless permitted. A mere three years after the law's passage, the Spanish parliament attempted to make it explicitly permitted. The attempt failed - probably because it wasn't necessary - but many in Spanish government wanted to make it very clear that they will help you off yourself for mental illness. They learned from their forbears to be expansive, but wanted to make it explicitly expansive just in case they can help shuffle more people into the grave by doing so. The reason I looked into this further is the same case that CBD discussed yesterday. In that case, a mentally-ill young woman named Noelia Castillo Ramos became the youngest person in Spain to die by assisted suicide, and it was for mental illness that was exacerbated by sexual assault. Her family sued to prevent it, citing mental incompetence. The court ruled that she was competent, and so it proceeded. That makes sense as far is it goes, but I was curious as to why the lawsuit was about competence rather than diagnosis, why the argument was that Ramos couldn't make that choice, rather than because it was for a non-terminal illness. That is when I learned that it needn't be for a terminal - or even physical - illness in Spain. Competence was the only avenue available to fight it. The press and politicians happily ignored those who objected to these laws. The press wrote off the moral and religious objectors as atavistic cranks, and declared that the pragmatic objectors were arguing in bad faith. The pragmatic objectors to state-sponsored euthanasia are perhaps the most interesting, because they feared exactly this ratcheting expansion even if they didn't have moral or religious objections to the idea of a "mercy killing." The pragmatists were proven correct as everywhere such laws have been implemented, the requirements are subsequently loosened. Wait less. Make diagnosis easier and faster. Expand the list of eligible conditions. Once permitted at all, the steady march toward expansion, acceleration, popularization or - G-d forbid - a mandate immediately began. Encouraging citizens to die is too great a temptation for the state. Once that door has been opened, it not only can never close, it can only open wider. Whether through misplaced empathy, financial considerations or simple malice, the standards and restrictions always decline and - like abortion - what started as "safe, legal and rare" becomes the heavily-encouraged first choice. Also, I hope that our Jewish Hordelings have a good Pesach (which begins tonight) and that our Christian Hordelings have a blessed Good Friday and a happy Easter!Comments

In both programs, doctors could prescribe death by removal of all assistance, including food and water, without the family's awareness or consent.
With LCP, it was the doctors that finally revolted. The program was set up with participation goals and bonuses to hospitals that exceeded goals. Hospital administrators were harassing doctors, telling them to kill more and more patients to reap the financial rewards. They were essentially killing senior patients who were annoying, without family to protect them, and those with mental disabilities.

How much of it is really suicide?
When the state controls what medical treatment is available to you, such as in Canada and the UK, they can essentially tell you your only treatment they will approve is MAID.
As with the trans movement, I would imagine a good portion of these participants are vulnerable people being preyed upon by ghouls.

The State is killing someone, albeit one is presumed innocent, the other found guilty of their crimes by their peers.
Interestingly enough -- there is no problem getting the drugs for someone to punch their own clock, but getting drugs to administer in a death penalty execution is......difficult.
I presume those who are all in on assisted suicide -are OK with the death penalty?

Prime Minister Jetten just called me.
He said he had severely underestimated the demands of the premiership and greatly overestimated the confidence of his coalition partners. He no longer had confidence in his own cabinet. I told him I appreciated his honesty.
Since our parties had won an equal number of seats in the elections, Mr. Jetten indicated that he wished to transfer the premiership to me.
We will go together to the King at 12:00 p.m. to formalize the transfer.
Tomorrow I will enact emergency state law, close the borders to all asylum seekers, and make preparations for a large-scale repatriation of Syrians and others back to their home countries. Asylum centers can close, the coercive law will be repealed, our homes will belong to us again, and with the money saved, we will immediately lower the excise taxes on gasoline and diesel.

Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are filling the gap because there is a dearth of primary care docs.. .
First, the number of medical students is limited. Allow more med students instead of allowing people who have fewer years of training fill in for doctors*.
It allows med to be prescribed more freely and remotely (see ads for 1-800 diet and erectile dysfunction meds), which helps Pharmaceuticals.
I should note my bias: my husband's cancer was misdiagnosed for up to a year because the nurse practitioner kept guessing different things for his symptoms at each visit. In retrospect, she was clearly unsupervised.

According to Reuters, “Merz's coalition government imposed tougher controls when it took power last year, as support for the anti-immigration AfD party surged in the wake of former Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to admit around 1 million asylum seekers from countries including Syria and Afghanistan.
Roderich Kiesewetter of the CDU (Christian Democrats), which is Merz’s own political party, told the national German Handelsblatt news site that Merz made a politically “unwise” decision to get out ahead on this issue and make such statements if he can’t deliver when all is said and done.
If Merz fails, Kiesewetter said, other parties, like the Alternative for Germany (AfD), will likely take advantage.
Anke Rehlinger is from Germany’s Social Democrat (SPD) party and is premier of Germany’s Saarland state. She told Funke Media Gruppe that “putting forward specific figures with specific timeframes” is a way of setting yourself up to fail. Rehlinger also said that a large number of Syrians are now playing a key role in the German economy. ”

I should note my bias: my husband's cancer was misdiagnosed for up to a year because the nurse practitioner kept guessing different things for his symptoms at each visit. In retrospect, she was clearly unsupervised.

NP's and PA's are not trained in diagnosis - once you get past the easy stuff, a doc should be involved. I hope it worked out in the end. The office should be sued for malpractice.

A friend of mine in the neighborhood is a physician. We were chatting once about my back problems, and he got really exercised about the extent to which non-doctors are now substituting their relatively untrained opinions for those of doctors, who as he point out, have many years more training. It wasn't a matter of money for him; he's retired, and a very moral person to boot, he thought it was unconscionable and risky for people who can't afford more.

And that's why I think AI will soon dominate medicine (in some areas, it sort of already does). I don't worship physicians as our parent's generation did, and I think diagnosis is something that can ultimately do a better job than a human, although you'll want to keep a human in the loop for awhile yet.

There is only so much space to train them, and even then schools are doing everything they can to make sure once enrolled you graduate. The clinical requirements are extensive, you cannot magically create more supply to provide them proper training.
That is why NP's and PAs have become more popular in basics family practice settings. Quicker, less clinical training, work on training on the basic stuff most patients will present with. Once it goes beyond that, the doc should step in.

No insult to NP and PA's, but they're not equivalent to doctors, no matter how much bureaucrats want us to believe.
My dad is a retired doctor (another bias), and in a medical journal (can't recall which one) a few years back, they did a study of a large medical practice that was moving more patient visits to NP's to save money. They discovered that it actually increased costs because the NP's were less sure of their diagnosis and ordered many more tests that the doctors. Totally unexpected result.

I believe that mental health bureaucracy was already in place. It's a government system designed to help people in crisis so you know it's not getting cut. And you have the medical system and MAID on the other side.

They're already past asking. That's why they are putting so many toxins in our food.
The "Elite" are way past the taboo notion of "equality" and think is "scientific" that the "smartest" people make decisions for all us dummies.
This is one thing that atheists in general refuse to grasp. Yeah, "equality" is a value that non-believers can have without a doctrine of equality--but when the rubber hits the road--DO THEY??!!!
Atheists have given us a century or two of slovenly thinking and "I'll get to it" rigor.
The question of "Can Christianity restrain man's evil" is valid given the ROAD RECORD of Christianity. But they never consider the ROAD RECORD of Atheist leaders.
Christians have a doctrine that makes "human worth" an actual desirable thing. There is no such thing as "human worth"--even in any religion--outside of Christianity that sounds like a good thing. Because "worth" comes from "warp" and "to turn", it means "turnaround in the marketplace" to a degree.

AI actually will do a poorer job of diagnosis, because they won't be able to take what a patient says into consideration as well as a human. Templates already exist to determine what to do with the diagnosis, I would expect AI to speed up that process and probably reduce the need for back office types. Where AI will excel will be in surgical activities, radiology and such. It will probably wipe out over half the diagnostic radiologists, and will completely change what a surgeon does.

There are legitimate errors and errors because of not paying attention. In our case, it was the latter.

It's not a popular opinion, but I've maintained from the start that Trump will lose the birthright case not because of any of the merits of the issue, but because the President does not have the power to decide an issue like this through an EO. The Court is going to reserve the issue of Constitutional Interpretation for itself, and issue a ruling on that basis.

The Bank of England defaulted during WWI, and everything in modern economics and banking since then has been an attempt to paper over that fact, or get another country to pay the debt back for them.

Regardless of any moral stance on self-offing, I'm vehemently against any govt involvement, permission or regulation of suicide. You want to end it all? Do it yourself. Hundreds of thousands of people find a way do it every year all on their own, why should you be any different?
There's something really perverse about setting up a government relationship with suicide where on the one hand they try to talk you into it and provide the means through lethal drugs; and on the other hand they operate suicide crisis hotlines where they try to talk you out of going through with it and getting you the mental health help you need to reduce or eliminate the suicidal urge.

Unlikely. Rule of Four means that four justices had to want to hear the case. If they were comfortable with the status quo, they would have just let lower court decisions stand.
Alito and Thomas are originalists. Kavanaugh is another more or less originalist. That leaves Gorsuch whose textualism is less than originalist at least on statutory interpretation cases, and ACB who claims to be an originalist. Roberts is a judicial restraint type.
My personal guess is that the Courts will strike down the executive order but throw it to Congress to fix legislatively. That eliminates stripping citizenship retroactively from anchor babies and handing Trump a win. Fits in with prior rulings on immigration law--Congress's power is plenary. Also see Indian citizenship statute.

the Courts will strike down the executive order but throw it to Congress to fix legislatively.

So, dead again.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco Examiner is downright Hochul-esque about it:
>>thousands of residents would lose their eligibility for federal programs that provide needed food, housing and health care, forcing the city to spend millions of dollars it cannot afford — or turn its back on children of immigrants.
Flat out. ALL American taxpayers must support kids of "immigrants." We San Franciscans alone can't afford our generosity with OPM.

Wrong way to read Wong Ark Kim. Basically both parents were legal residents and the son was born here while that was so. They went back to China and Wong Ark was denied reentry.
The lazy assumption since the 1920's was that the subject to the jurisdiction thereof meant jus soli so anyone could be American if they were born on magic dirt.
What they ignore is that it took an act of Congress to make Indians not taxable (reservations) citizens in the 1920's under Coolidge Administration. Coolidge's VP was actually Native American in part.
The whole impetus of the 13th to 15th Amendments were to get rid of the Dred Scott v San(d)ford decision. Too long to go into all of it but it specifically denied that blacks could be citizens of the United States whether free or slaves. And misread the Declaration of Independence to do so.

Something like that if Roberts has anything to do a decision to limit birthright citizenship entirely is on the table. He will flip to the majority in order to try to control and limit the opinion.
Warren Burger used to do the same shit. Nasty political critters disguised as judges. And even the liberals Marshall and Brennan were glad when Burger resigned and Rehnquist took his place. Rehnquist as chief did not play the political games that Burger did.

I think legislatively it is possible, but not with our current GOP types in the Senate. Public is getting more and more comfortable with sending people back, ignoring Big Business on H1Bs, and the wailing of the Dems to keep despicable people in the US is not helping the open borders cause.
Once deportations become a statistic rather than individual stories, it builds in a new Overton window. Muzzies being muzzies is another sore spot and people are tired of their shit.

I've seen that done on criminal sentencing but not in general application. Creates a lot of work there.
And to some extent, we are in this situation because Congress has abrogated its job pretty much because of the US Senate and the filibuster on any substantial non budgetary legislation.

Attended a program through the local library recently to see what it was about. Many in attendance were actually looking for grief services after losing loved ones, others were exploring the availability of hospice services and how they're paid for through Medicare/Medicaid or private insurance. Just a few attendees were looking for answers on how to be prepared for death - theirs or others.
In the end, it seemed to be a business assisting in planning one's death, from coordinating Wills & Estates, helping with Living Wills and Advance Directives, coordinating care and/or respite, assisting in the final preparations, taking some of the burden from the dying and/or their families - depending.
Green burials, etc. were discussed, but also that PA does not yet allow the practices of euthanasia or aquamation.

The one thing I could not formally get around is if the State of Colorado decides that I should be killed because they need my hospital bed. These type of documents are all under State Law, so if that's what State Law becomes, there is no resisting it.

But different types of crude don’t fetch the same price. “Benchmark” crude or WTI, or “light sweet” crude is a standard, that all crude oil probably aspires to.
Lesser oils trade at a discount. Then there’s transportation costs. They will trade contracts and offset with $$$. Say for example, Alaskan crude. Good stuff, it makes more sense to sell it to Japan, then refine it in the USA. They’ll trade it for something else from somewhere else, that kind of thing.
It’s a global market and reacts locally to global events.

While the player ranted about Pride month, he didn't stop there. He said just as hateful stuff about Catholics. So, his best hope is that his Protestant minister comes out and speaks for him, b/c he rejected the Pope doing so...
"In one video, Ivey slammed the NBA for celebrating the LGBTQ community as a defiance of Christian “righteousness.”
In comments under another, he reportedly told one viewer that “Catholicism is a false religion,” adding that “it is not the true Doctrine of Christ,” and that it “does not lead to salvation in Jesus Christ.”"

This conflicts with current practice in which pillows are offered when seated so that diners may recline and tarry when eating, as rich people do. Slaves eat what they can when they can and then back to work.
When I was a kid the seder was 3 hours long at least it was torture.

He apparently is not an intelligent one, b/c by being hateful toward a religion at the same time he was hateful towards PRIDE month, he's now muddied the waters of his support. And his eventual possible legal case b/c hateful religious statements probably do warrant release for cause...

Relatively OK here in Jerusalem. The country is grinnig and bearing it and waiting for the job to be done - whatever it takes.
On of our pups is incommunicado - if you know what I mean. We've been told that he's taken out a lotta bad guys and that's all I can tell you.

There's a table of folks that are there every Tuesday for said trivia night. They cheat, of course, and usually win every week. There's 8 or 9 of them, but they pitch a bitch any time their server auto-gratuity's them as a party of 6 or more, so they don't and the bastards tip like shit.
I was walking back from turning in our answer and a girl was walking up to do the same, so I stepped out of her path, being courteous. A dude from that table passed me by, as if I got out of HIS way, made HER move out of his way, all while he stopped to talk at a table and blocked the walkway.
As the guy says in that Mr. Inbetween show, assholes exist because no one stopped them.

Some of US President Donald Trump’s aides tell the Axios news site that they believe the American leader is “mostly improvising, rather than following any clear plan” regarding the Iran war.
The aides tell Axios that Trump “likes to keep his options open, spitball with different audiences, then capitalize if he thinks he sees an opportunity.”

I could make some pegging jokes, but back pain sucks ass.
Just a side note: I was having a lot of issues with lower back pain where it would tighten up and occassionally I would wrench something and that just fucked everything. The new job has required a lot of bending and twisting and kneeling down to inspect things. The back pain has gone away.

VDH: Eric Swalwell wasn’t the only one Fang Fang approached in CA — he was just the one stupid enough to fall into the trap.
"I wrote some critical things of China, and Fang Fang came to see me."
“The way she changed accents and how she was dressed, you would have to be a stupid, narcissistic idiot to fall for that."
"Anybody who would fall for her honeypot is just a joke."

And Swalwell qualifies.

The alternative leads to concentration camps and the destruction of the Jewish people.
Israel fights against that alternative, and I think that mindset is magnificent.

I saw something where someone recommended face pulls using a resistance band.
This latest round of working out I have been able to maintain better than any time since high school, so I have been trying to look at ways to expand it and keep it interesting. I had forgotten how good it felt if you keep doing it.

Early American Jews often struggled to secure kosher wine for Passover—so they substituted what they could, including hard cider. But just imagine what the Seder was like at tables where they downed four cups of clear Jamaican rum.

Supposedly, people on the ground are supply troop locations which the Israelis are using to blow them up with drones. It's questionable whether a WW2-style resistance, blowing up train tracks and the like, would accomplish much in Iran, in 2026.

This is the year 5786 according to the Jewish Calendar, but only the year 4723 according to the traditional Chinese calendar.
