Variety attempted to smear Chuck Norris for his politics. When lefties die, their politics either go unmentioned in favor of their achievements, or are actively praised. But Christian conservatives? Smeared.

Variety claims that his politics "overshadowed" his career in martial arts and movie-making.

The greatest Community Note of all time put lie to that.

AOC's campaign spent $19,000 for unspecified medical treatments by a doctor known to use ketamine in treating woke women with bad cases of the grumpies.

She's trippin'.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy.
The socialist lawmaker hired Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on "novel" therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street.
Her campaign paid Boyle $11,550 in March 2025, another $2,800 in May, and $4,375 in October for a total of $18,725, Federal Election Commission records show.
The expenses were marked as "leadership training and consulting."
It's unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
Boyle, a Harvard-trained doctor, calls himself an "interventional psychiatrist" and specializes in unorthodox methods for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and anxiety.
He's considered a "leading authority" on ketamine, the controversial horse tranquilizer given to "Friends" star Matthew Perry in the month leading up to his tragic death.
"I just saw the incredible power of what these treatments could do," Boyle said during a podcast appearance last year about getting into the mind-blowing biz. "It's a ton of fun helping patients get better."
Boyle's clinic also offers other treatments popular with the 1 Percent, like stellate ganglion block, an anesthetic injected into a nerve cluster in the neck to calm the body's fight-or-flight response. Billionaires like Bob Parsons, who's battled PTSD since returning from the Vietnam War, have raved about the treatment.
"Celebrities tend to be more inclined to be on the hunt for highly effective solutions across beauty, health, mental health, nutrition and so on," Boyle said in an interview last year about the treatment.
AOC herself is no stranger to touting the benefits of hallucinogenic drugs for therapy.
The "Squad" rep, who campaigned to end the federal prohibition of marijuana in 2018, has three times proposed legislation to make it easier to study magic mushrooms and other psychedelics.
As a freshman congresswoman in 2019, she introduced an amendment to allow the feds to spend taxpayer money on studying the medical potential of psilocybin, ecstasy and other drugs to treat mental illnesses, calling the early research "promising."
"It's well past time we take drug use out of criminal consideration and into medical consideration," she tweeted at the time.

I said for years both Howell then Boasberg were in cahoots with Biden DOJ to rubber stamp, even advise, any strategy set forth by Jack Smith.

22 Chuck Norris was a terrible person. He threatened to tattoo the American flag on the forehead of every atheist if elected president. He was a Christian nationalist right wing asshole and the only world we will ever get is a better place now that he is dead.

Anti vaxxer, chemtrail believer who believed MRIs caused harmful effects on people. Just a moron conspiracy theorist kook.

I am tell you as an atheist, I didn't (and nether should you) take that as some *actual* threat, like the wtf happen to people on the Internet that they get so pearl clutching these days?

It's funny, I'll bet you wouldn't of said that about him if he was still alive-

He has been a far right islamophobe and homophobe for at least 25 years. Supported Prop 8, supported islamic hatred, supported banning gay teens from public groups, supported birther conspiracies, was a Reagan republican as well so he's been a shit for about half his life at least.

"He wike twump so I no wike him."
Ok. lol.

The only reason we're even talking about him is because he gave modern meaning to the great white hope. He was a misogynistic, far right, bloodthirsty supporter of genocide.

They just have never bothered to learn English because no one has forced them to.

Chuck was a very classy guy, at least going by the interviews I've watched.

That's the gist I get from those interviews. Chuck is a class act and didn't want to come right out and say it. When he was in that movie with Lee, he was still competing as a karete pro and doing so at a championship level. So yes, in an actual fight, Norris would have won and that's not a knock on Lee. Bruce Lee wasn't a pro fighter at least not at the level Chuck was.

He could send a complaint to the circuit court but they've already ruled that they won't rein in Boasburg. He could temporarily suspend them, if the rest of SCOTUS agreed, although I don't know for how long. That's about it.

It's really on Congress and the House won't impeach because they know that the Senate won't convict. The weakness in our system is that it depends on the people in office to have honor.

Revealed: Joe Kent Kicked Off the Entire Candace Owens Project to Attack Erika Kirk and Claim the Jews Killed Charlie Kirk

Lunatics. Vicious psychopathic lunatics.

So here's the story as alleged:

A TPUSA employee named Andrew Kolvet says he wanted to leave no stone unturned in the search for Charlie Kirk's killer. This was in the early hours after the murder, before police discovered the rifle with Tyler Robinson's fingerprints on it, and his texts telling his gay furry lover he was going to do something wonderful.

Kolvet knew Joe Kent. He passed to Kent some private DMs of Charlie Kirk -- if I have this right -- complaining that one Jewish donor had stopped funding TPUSA because he didn't like the organization platforming confirmed antisemitic monsters Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Kovet's idea -- stupid from the start -- was apparently that maybe this Jewish donor might have killed Charlie Kirk.

Kolvet claims he never believed this, but that he wanted to make sure every possible avenue of investigation was open. It's silly, but I'm sure he wasn't thinking quite straight in the hours after his friend was murdered.

He trusted that Joe Kent would act like a responsible government official in handling the texts in a responsible, official way.

Instead, antisemtic Nazi conspiracy theorist Joe Kent began demanding that Kolvet make the chats public. Kent wasn't investigating the texts; he was trying to create a podcaster "investigation" and public witch-hunt.

Even after the assassin's identity was known to everyone who isn't a Jew-hating psychotic.

Kolvett refused to make the chats public, because he says he didn't want innocent parties baselessly accused.

Especially given that the killer was now known and was not a disappointed Jewish donor but a radical left-wing gay furry sodomite.

And then just a week or two later, Candace Owens starts talking about the chats and Tucker Carlson can't stop talking about them, either. Later, Owens actually publishes them.

Kovett's conclusion is -- and it seems hard to doubt -- that Joe Kent was a determined conspiracy theorist who could not let go of the idea that Jews Killed Charlie Kirk, even after the proof emerged that the killer was a non-Jewish furry-fucker. And after Kolvett repeatedly refused to make the chats public, Kent gave them to Candace Owens (and probably Tucker Carlson too, although Owens could have given them to Carlson).

Note that Joe Kent was a government official and ostensibly a high-ranking counter-terrorism official, but decided to leak private DMs he had been given in his capacity as government official to an extremely unreliable and toxic internet personality.

That might be a crime. I don't know. The texts weren't classified but they were sensitive personal information given to a public official for purposes of an official government investigation -- not to leak to a hair-on-fire lunatic podcaster.

It is definitely a fireable offense, whether or not a criminal one.

And I wonder if it might be the subject of a lawsuit by TPUSA and Erika Kirk, who have been absolutely brutalized due to Joe Kent's leaking to the maniacal conspiracy theorist and defamer Candace Owens.

And now Joe Kent announces that he will testify on behalf of Charlie Kirk's actual murderer Tyler Robinson and tell the jury that no, the Jews did it, let this innocent patsy-of-the-Jews free.

Here are the facts: Yes, I shared the screen grab with Joe Kent because I was told I could trust him and I wanted EVERY possible lead pursued. We've done this quietly behind the scenes with countless items.

Yes he did suggest I make it public. I declined. A few weeks later the… https://t.co/Jx09MBIoPr pic.twitter.com/7FzZEEtsRe

The evidence presented at that time was overwhelming.

The news about Joe Kent testifying for Tyler Robinson broke just minutes before today's show. I did not hold back in my feelings about it. pic.twitter.com/lCnzPcFKp3
— Blake Neff (@BlakeSNeff) March 24, 2026

And because of this psychotic Nazi, Erika Kirk and TPUSA officials have now had their lives threatened almost daily by internet lunatics convinced they murdered Charlie Kirk and then covered it up.

Gee I sure hope that no harm comes to Joe Kent, Candace Owens, or Tucker Carlson. I sure hope that no one ever suffers the consequences of their own actions.

36 Kolvet was naive or in shock (or both) after the murder of his friend. But it was not wise (in the extreme) to send those speculations to anyone. I give him a pass because how could he know that Joe Kent was a bad dude...

Regarding Joe Kent testifying for the defense, I just have no words. That's not really true, is it? It's hard to believe he would do that.... if true, he's a scumbag of the lowest order....

A full majority of traffic to people like Fuentes and Owens comes from the third world, mostly places like Pakistan.

Mix that with the Democrat Party's turn away from Israel as something to defend, especially from the younger generations (many of whom are imports from...the third world), and there's your answer.

It's a combination of fake online only shit (the podcaster wars) and real world issues (the Corbynization of the Democrat Party).

43 This morning I finished reading Conspiracies by F. Paul Wilson, one of the books in his Repairman Jack series.

One thing Wilson makes clear is that conspiracy theorists are absolutely impervious to facts.

Any time a fact is brought up that contradicts their theory, they conspiracy nut will find a way to fit the fact into their worldview, rather than adjusting their worldview to align with objective reality.

Grifters, who make their living peddling conspiracy theories, are even less receptive to objective reality interfering with their grift.

Yea, and I would go one further: the conspiracy theorists will not only find a way to fit a contradictory fact into their theory, they will find a way for the fact to bolster their theory.

I've literally had people tell me, when confronted with a complete lack of any evidence whatsoever of their conspiracy, and quite a bit of contradictory evidence, that "well of course, the conspirators want to keep the conspiracy hidden!"

They really believe the complete absence of any proof of a conspiracy is the best proof the conspiracy exists. Infuriating.

I'm going to do a post on this, maybe tomorrow. Tucker is now pushing Russian Empire Restorationist Duggin's Interesting Theory that the US should allow China, Russia, and Islam to each have their own inviolable sphere of influence.

Obviously a Russian Empire Restorationist would want to see Russia allowed to control Eastern Europe without any western push-back, but... um why would an American?

Tucker is now pushing the left's foreign policy, explicitly -- and is an official Useful Idiot. Useful Idiots are defined as those who will simp for Russia and claim that Russia has a "right" to its "Zone of Influence," but whenever America or Israel acts in its own interest, they flip the script and start talking about International Law and Norms and "Genocide." It's only the tyrannical anti-western powers who are allowed to act in their own interests.

103 There are several other podcasters with large followings, such as Shawn Ryan, who were immediately suspicious of the Kirk shooting details. They have large audiences and are not necessarily associated with Owens or Carlson.

Some medium-sized podcasters are also not entirely on board with the official findings. Robert O'Neill comes to mind.

I'm pointing out that there are others, not related in any way to Carlson or Owens, who have legitimate questions.

My take? I'm just terribly sad we lost a really impressive representative for America and Christianity.

That's exactly what it is. In Wilson's story, a conspiracy theorist who promises a "Grand Theory of Unification" for conspiracies has vanished. Jack is hired to find her.

Along the way, he encounters various nutballs who all have their own crazy theories (UFOs, Men in Black, Trilateral Commission, etc.). Wilson gives entertaining exchanges between characters who subscribe to different conspiracies, each of whom believes THEY have the correct answer.

Turns out the missing theorist is the only one who is close to the truth...Which is behind all other conspiracies.

108 Tucker is now pushing the left's foreign policy, explicitly -- and is an official Useful Idiot. Useful Idiots are defined as those who will simp for Russia and claim that Russia has a "right" to its "Zone of Influence," but whenever America or Israel acts in its own interest, they flip the script and start talking about International Law and Norms and "Genocide." It's only the tyrannical anti-western powers who are allowed to act in their own interests.

This is pure leftism, and this is now explicitly what Tucker Carlson endorses.

One of my favorite episodes of Stargate is where the government supports the filming of a very crappy TV show based on the idea of wormholes travelling to other worlds to make anyone who talks about the Stargate seem like some crank following a crappy TV plot.

Of course, since the Stargate is real, it's also an AMAZING meta joke for the creators, too.

Wow guys, one of my hobbies is giving serious answers to rhetorical questions, so it's a nice challenge to do it in the character limit. Here we go!

The gnostic grift goes back to Jesus's time and beyond, to Eden and the Serpent. Secret knowledge is at the core of every confidence scheme, and socialism and Islam are both in that category -- albeit as whole-of-society grifts, with rewards for self-conquest beyond the dreams of avarice. In either one, whichever clique gets control of the apparatus of the State also acquires all the stored wealth of the country, and enslaves the whole nation on top of it.

As Orwell showed in 1984, having a secret enemy is handy for socialist sociopaths' social control. And Emmanuel Goldstein was an obvious choice, because Jews are a handy target for neo-gnostic cult-like grifter cliques. And fin.

This relates to Carlo Cipolla's writing on stupidity -- stupid people create problems. They believe stupid things and harm others with no rational purpose or goal.

What makes CT (conspiracy theorists) bad is that they have built their own self image around a stupid belief. They defend that against all odds.

Vance is the walking dead. Anthony Scaramucci says that there's zero chance he becomes Vice President since he wavered from Trump's messaging.

One of the first things he did while running DOGE. Was eliminate a bunch of positions from the NHSTA. Those positions oversaw the viability and safety of FSD. And people still trust their safety in this guys hands.

They also made cuts to FAA and we just had a major accident at LaGuardia due to (most people speculate) overloaded controller.

Fake news, Tesla has more internet bots than Tesla sales. How do you think Trump won the election 🤔 Nothing Musk has done in the last 8 years has been a success and Tesla was only successful because of government welfare.

They are allllll over Northern Va. it’s revolting. He fired a huge chunk of the population here and yet here we are. And I gotta say, most of the drivers are not white and if they are they are over 50. For whatever that’s worth.

185 I'm not persuaded by Ace's outrage.

One, Joe Kent is not an FBI official or a police detective or any kind of investigator of crimes. Why Kolvet gave him this info, who knows. Second, investigators often release bits of info or evidence to the public if they believe they have a reason to do so. There isn't some sacred of duty of confidentiality on the part of the government if you give information to an official investigating a crime.

Also just because the killer has been conclusively identified doesn't mean the investigation should stop, because he might have been part of a conspiracy.

But more to the point, there is a fight among his supporters and backers to determine where Charlie Kirk stood regarding support for Israel at the time he was killed. Both sides are publicly arguing for their position and there is nothing wrong with that.

Anyway, one of the biggest issues that has gotten swept under the rug is the incredible amount of brain-damaging drugs the gay furry and the shooter and their circle of friends were into. Turkey Tom on YouTube did an eye-opening expose on this back in October using discord chats but it fell into a black hole.

200 As to why Kent got nominated, he had an honorable service in the military (more real than Walz, Blumenthal and twats like that anyway) and then ran for a House district. MAGA at the time loved people like that, like Gen. Flynn.
Honorable service when superior officers are keeping a lookout does not always mean they will have honor when not being supervised. Perhaps.

The theology here can get quite complex. In his later years while his mind was still sharp, my father got concerned with this. I remember some long arguments he got into over all this, and I wished I had paid more attention.

It's OT vs NT, and the role of the Church vs "old Israel/chosen people/covenant" and all that mixed in with End Times Israel.

There is a belief, primarily "dispensationlist" that came about that there is sort of parallel track, one for the Church and one for Israel. My father came to reject that as just not viable, not supported by his reading of basic scripture.

And again, mixing this with the modern geopolitical situation just makes a mess.

Newly Released Documents Reveal Judges Beryl Howell and Boasberg Secretly Worked with Jack Smith to Bring Charges Against President Trump

So if you have judge(s) conspiring with corrupt prosecutor(s) to bring falsified charges recalls the Simpsons "President" episode, everyone gets two.
Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher

The problem for both judges is that the discussions were happening before Grand Jury convening. Howell was trying to give Smith everything he wanted in prior witness and evidence rulings before she stepped down as Chief of the DC district court judges. Thus, Boasberg would accept her rulings for the incoming grand jury indictments in DC for Jack.

Both judges may have just committed conspiracy crimes outside of their cozy DC district if the Russia Russia, Dem scam peachment and others are treated as they were--a grand coup against the elected government of the US.

This is not unusual behavior in DC, it's just that, in this instance, the light has been turned on on the cockroaches. Backroom/back channel threats and promises are the almost de riguer methods to get anything done in the bloated government.

Latest on X is that the LDS charities are donating to Ham Ass plus funding mosques in Utah.

Source is Amy Mek but supported by some evidence

A 2013 peer-reviewed academic paper published by Brigham Young University (BYU) states:

“This outreach is exemplified by the LDS church’s donations of $25,000 to the construction of a Utah Islamic Center mosque, Hindu temple, and other places of worship.”

That's another big one with his. Divide MAGA, as well as divide Israel and the US.

What is Trump doing with the Donroe Doctrine. Reasserting American control of our hemisphere primarily, as well as being the "world's hegemon" or whatever. Taking out Iran's nuclear ambitions and getting rid of that geopolitical cancer on the world is part of that.

If you're the Chicoms or Rooskies or some Islamo-caliphate nutjob, you don't like that. You want American to go back in decline, and not reassert itself. Diving MAGA is a way to do that, along with throwing a monkey wrench into US-Israel alliance.

281 I don’t know if it’s truly a cult, but Tulsi was part of the Scientific Identity Foundation along with her parents and siblings,

It’s run by a guy named Chris Butler and is an offshoot of the Krishna movement which he had been a part of.

It’s all yoga, and Hindu-type, guruism.
I don’t understand any of it, but as cults go it seems to be pretty mild and slightly right-wing on some issues; no alcohol or drugs, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Islam, etc.

I have no idea if Tulsi still participates but she seems to have distanced herself from the group and Butler since it became known she was associated with them.

The nasty/black business nowadays is conducted by actual CIA operators with occasion assistance from SOC command. Or, when they need a cutout, by hired mercenaries. Incidentally, many retired/separated GB personnel populate those merc companies.

The others, their kids are older or grown, so hopefully the idiot parents will just fade away soon, just not soon enough for me.

313 Some conspiracy theories are easily proven false: like the flat Earth hypothesis. Look to Aristotle’s observation that the Earth’s shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse was always a circle. There is only one three dimensional shape that always casts a circular shadow and that’s a sphere. Known two and a half millennia ago. Next step up is grocentrism, or the Ptolemaic system vs. Copernican heliocentrism. In the form Copernicus presented it his heliocentric system was less accurate than the Ptolemaic system (mostly because he used circular orbits). But it was much simpler than the Ptolemaic system: because of retrograde motion of planets like Mars, the Ptolemaic system had orbits that resembled the kind of figures you get using a Spirograph kit. The simplicity was so appealing that people like Kepler kept working with heliocentrism until they got it to work better than geocentrism: Kepler’s three laws turn out to be predictable by Newtonian gravity and Newtonian mechanics. Even Newtonian physics was imperfect: the drift in the perihelion of Mercury (some 42 arc seconds per Earth century) could only be explained by special and general relativity.

314 Always be trying to refine your understanding with the simplest possible explanation that is compatible with the known facts. Some people in my church want to use a geocentric explanation of solar system celestial mechanics because it makes their interpretation of certain passages in the Bible simpler. You can go geocentric if you want to under general relativity, but you give up the simpler orbits of the heliocentric model for the horrendously complicated orbits of the Ptolemaic system. I agree with Augustine of Hippo: you shouldn’t insist on an interpretation of the Bible that makes a pagan laugh at your understanding of nature when there is an interpretation that is in accord with both Scripture (special revelation) and what we observe and measure in nature (general revelation).

Despite Hurting Miniature Senator Rand Paul's Fragile Feelings, Markwaye Mullin is Confirmed as Secretary of DHS
Democrats Preparing Failure Theater on Their DHS Shutdown?

I don't know much about this guy except that I have vague memories of him standing on the open borders/"Comprehensive Amnesty Reform" side of things a few times.

But if Trump thinks he can be browbeaten into being useful, fine, I'll defer to Trump.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: The Senate just voted 54-45 to confirm Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) as DHS Secretary.
Applause & cheers break out.
The only Republican no vote was Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
The only two Democrats to vote yes were Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) & Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM).
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) didn't vote.

MXM:

The Senate on Monday night confirmed Sen. Markwayne Mullin as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, handing President Trump another key cabinet win as his administration moves to tighten its grip on immigration enforcement and national security.
Mullin, an Oklahoma Republican and close Trump ally, was approved in a 54-45 vote, with a largely party-line split that still saw a few notable defections. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was the lone Republican to vote against the nomination, while Democrat Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico crossed the aisle to support it.

When Paul was questioning a vote of Mullins', which I think showed Mullins as weak on the border, Mullins said something like "I can see why Rand Paul's neighbor beat him up." Paul made this his primary case against Mullins -- not the vote, the comment about Paul being very punchable. He told Mullins to tell him that to his face, as if he were some kind of tough-guy. This is like a dweeby fourth grader saying "Say that to my face" when in the presence of three teachers and the Vice Principle.

Rand Paul is an unserious pansy bitch and I can't wait to primary xim.

The confirmation caps a swift rise for Mullin, who Trump tapped earlier this month to replace Kristi Noem. In announcing the move on Truth Social, Trump said Noem would transition to a new role as "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas," while praising Mullin's record in Congress, noting his decade in the House and three years in the Senate and calling his performance "tremendous."
Mullin, a former mixed martial arts fighter turned lawmaker, quickly embraced the nomination, signaling alignment with Trump's agenda at a department that has become central to the administration's immigration crackdown and broader homeland security posture.
"I am grateful to President Trump for nominating me to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security," Mullin wrote on X following the announcement. "I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the Senate and carrying out President Trump's mission alongside the department's many capable agencies and the thousands of patriots who keep us safe every day."

Democrats have admitted that they have shut down the DHS to inflict pain and inconvenience on the public, so that their media allies can claim it's all Trump's fault.

For over a month, Democrats have shut down the Department of Homeland Security -- inflicting pain on over 100,000 American families missing paychecks and causing widespread disruption to millions of travelers across the country.
Democrats have misrepresented negotiations in the press, been unresponsive, prolonged the suffering of hardworking Americans, boasted that they are "very serene" about this dangerous shutdown and are now openly admitting they are "making people hurt."

The Trump Administration has negotiated in good faith from day one to fully fund DHS and avoid this dangerous shutdown, but instead of working towards a solution, Democrats have responded with a list of unserious, extreme demands that would seek to reinstitute Biden's failed open-border agenda, protect criminal illegal aliens, and put American citizens -- and the law enforcement officers who defend them -- in danger.
Let's be clear: these attempts to defund our federal law enforcement agents and border security are unacceptable to the American people.

Trump's Nefarious Scheme to use ICE agents, whose salaries are fully funded, to serve as emergency TSA agents as Democrats ruthlessly attempt to shut down the country is actually working, says CNN.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES! CNN just infuriated Democrats, showing video PROOF that "more TSA lines are open than normal" in Atlanta after the deployment of ICE

I don't know if the following arrest was planned in advance or just occurred because Trump had assigned ICE agents to perform TSA duties:

Elon Musk
@elonmusk
I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

Allegedly, Democrats are ready to make a deal, though I suspect they're offering a "deal" in the same way Iran's mullahs routinely offer "deals."

Ed Morrissey, quoting Punchbowl DC:

Suddenly, Senate Democrats want to play Monty Hall on the stalled funding package for the Department of Homeland Security. Multiple outlets report that a new deal will fund DHS, except for a slice of ICE's migrant-removal operations. However, Republicans have a plan for that, and that may cost Democrats more than just a little face:

For the first time in more than a month, there's optimism that the Senate and the White House can finally find a path to reopening the Department of Homeland Security. Key Senate Republicans returned from the White House late Monday with a noticeably upbeat demeanor over the state of the talks with President Donald Trump, who had just rebuffed a GOP-backed off-ramp.
The framework under discussion would fund all of DHS except for ICE's migrant removal operations, and could eventually include some reforms that Democrats have been demanding.
Republicans would then try to fund the rest of ICE via a party-line reconciliation bill.
That strategy opens up another option, however:

GOP leaders would also try to use reconciliation to enact elements of the SAVE America Act, which mandates photo IDs and citizenship verification for federal elections. Trump has called this bill his top legislative priority.

Maybe this did it:

I used to be TSA when they first stood up and at peak travel periods a large percentage of our people were doing crowd control and making sure people had everything they needed before they got into a screening line. It makes sense to pass those duties off to other people and let the TSA people focus on their job of screening passengers.

Democrats have tried seven times to get TSA funding and Republicans have refused every time. I'm in the ATL security line now. ICE aren't helping anything. They're just standing around and chatting.

They aren’t there doing any real actual work. They won’t run belts or security they are there because the orange doofus wants to use them as his personal threat gestapo.

Remember, Dems tried to pass TSA funding 9 times to which the Republicans say no. They want their stupid ICE funding and SAVE act to suppress voting. Hold out as long as it takes as ICE is literally killing citizens.

They are not there to assist, they are there to acclimate people to the gestapo. This is theater.

Trump has brought up fort sumpter in tv interviews multiple times. I believe he’s putting all these armed men under his direct control all over the place in hopes that someone, anyone will engage and begin civil war 2. In which case he can declare martial law and retain the presidency indefinitely.

40 Trump has brought up fort sumpter in tv interviews multiple times. I believe he’s putting all these armed men under his direct control all over the place in hopes that someone, anyone will engage and begin civil war 2. In which case he can declare martial law and retain the presidency indefinitely.

2019, of course, made their removal order part of the anti-immigration measures employed by the first Trump Administration. The Lopez family thumbed their noses at the order and stayed. During the Barry III administration, they were just faces in the crowd. But Trump II don't play and out they go.

As I said in an earlier post, the pics I've seen of airport lines looked normal for busy travel times. Even with TSA at full capacity, wait times through security at busy airports at busy times could be over two hours.

For sure. I said that in my earlier post. The pics of lines accompanied hysterical reporting about what a clusterfuck it was. I was like "huh, that looks about normal for a big travel day."

This week should be lighter travel, but then it picks up again next week for Passover and Easter, which this year overlap. So airports will be packed.

There are always legislators trying to build a brand name for themselves--Rep. H.R. Gross of Iowa was known as the abominable No Man for objecting, etc. to funding bills. Sen. Proxmire had his Golden Fleece. Sen. Mondale was noted as a major critic of NASA spending and IIRC caused a kerfluffle over astronauts taking small items to space and then selling them as a way to supplement their salary.

And legislative leaders make some allowance for legislators to peacock on certain issues in order to fund raise and to raise their electability. At a certain point though, you piss off enough of your colleagues that you are effectively done as a legislator. No one votes for your amendments, no one co sponsors legislation with you, your home town priorities are not funded, then you are simply a figurehead.

Salaries, capital spending, etc. yes. Apparently though the funds for removal of illegals are regular line items in the DHS funding bill.

The whole thing should have been funded through reconciliation in February but there may be some pretext why that hasn't been done involving the SAVE act, politics for the midterm, and the war in Iran.

191 Markwayne became famous for challenging Teamsters Sean O'Brien to a fight at a congressional hearing, and Sean accepted. Cooler heads prevailed. So if Trump is looking for someone less confrontational....I don't know...

And are the airports easier now bc the illegals stayed home out of fear of ICE or bc their help is working? Either way is fine with me.

Yeah, wasn't Mullin a Trump basher in that J6 period? I thought he did something to show that he was a Cornyn / Cassidy / Jeff Flake-ish RINO...?

Still, Noem was knee-deep in the pro-trans lobby and Trump practically made her born again hard running DHS. As much as that bimbo could be... Arguably a better alternative to trying to primary them: hem them into a spot where they can't move left and open their seat up from that move...

Easiest is just go back to status quo before 9/11. Current law allows airports to adopt private security as I think several West Coast airports have that operate under federal security rules. Simply get rid of the TSA jobs and privatize the whole thing.

Boorman, who is still alive, might be the smartest dumb person in movies because he often doesn't understand what he's responding to, like Exorcist II being some kind of response to the original Exorcist that...completely failed to understand what the Exorcist was about and ended up just repeating the same point in crazier clothing.

222 I would email Ed at Delta but he'd think I was stalking him. He answers his own emails. I know this for a fact from recent months over a very minimal problem that most would not reply to. The local customer service lady told me it was him answering my email, not an assistant. They guy is kind but he gets it done. She said teams from 4 different airports got my message after my email and he told them to fix it.

I am a Delta frequent flyer, always have been since college when I flew anything getting me back to college the cheapest, often with 2 stops before destination Crazy.

I would rather fly on my broom than fly Frontier or Spirit. Especially from Ft Lauderdale.

Over a decade ago I flew SW because it was a direct and cheap flight to MS. Then they pulled out of Jackson (who could blame them?). So now to get there we fly Delta straight to crazy NOLA and drive to avoid Atlanta.

My husband flew all the airlines when he was working. Always said Delta was the best. The worst was United.

Son flies Delta every flight, as do we. He flies several times a month for business.

This is unpaid PR for Delta and I do not lie. I may be a whole lot of things, but not a liar.

It is an interesting contrast between Frodo and Sam after they returned from Mt. Doom. Sam was less traumatized by the experience because he continued to have hope and he didn't carry the Burden of the One Ring nearly as long as Frodo.

Frodo had mostly given up by the end. He couldn't come back to the Shire and allow the natural beauty of the world to heal him. He needed supernatural healing and Valinor was the only place he could get it.

Boorman thought Exorcist was all about abusing Linda Blair. Literally. That's all he thought it was about. I'm not sure he even finished watching the first movie.

So, he made a movie about how the young girl needs to be rescued by a priest selflessly which is...the first movie.

I fly mostly Delta and United as they have the two hubs I travel from (JFK and EWR). I've noticed no difference in the performance of the airlines themselves. I do think EWR is a better overall airport than JFK, so on balance I'd rather fly United out of EWR.

Diversity Is Our Strength: Woke Australian PM Goes to Mosque to Curry Favor With His Country's Rulers, Is Chased Out of the Conquerors' Temple and Sent Running for His Bodyguards

This is from last week, but due to the unfortunate Hamster Walk-Out on Friday, I never got to it.

David Strom was likewise late on the story and wrote about it yesterday.

Australian PM, Anthony Albanese, is exactly what you would expect from a left-leaning Western leader in these fraught times.
A big fan of the mass migration, "diversity is our strength," soft totalitarianism that has been so popular within the Anglosphere and the EU, he has bent over backwards to welcome in hostile Muslim immigrants, reassure them that Australia was fertile ground for radicalization, and a critic of any and everybody who questions whether that is such a smart move.

He went to Sydney suburb to beg for the support of his colonial masters. The suburb used to be white working class, but is now majority Muslim.

He was called a "genocidal pig" and chased out of the mosque with some threat of violence.

BREAKING: Australian Prime Minister Albanese went to a Sydney mosque for Eid prayers to stand against Islamophobia, only to end up being threatened, with everyone screaming “Allahu Akbar” at him.

He just sits there terrified, not knowing what to do.

39 He's pretending like he cares about the muslim community like his politics haven't been the cause of the rapid rise in islamophobic attacks.

Get some nice pictures of him in the mosque with some paid off muslim looking people and get to pretend like he cares. Afterwards he'll go back to making policy that aims to disenfranchise muslims.

He literally had Bibi over and that did not go well in Australia. He brought out the riot squads on the people.

There was some anger, but it was controlled. Say your piece. Regardless of your political view, that is true raw democracy there. Honestly, this stuff makes me proud of what we have in Australia. It’s not perfect, but we do get politicians who get out there and cop it. It’s a tough gig.

In Iowa, college student Mollie Tibbits was murdered by an illegal immigrant while going for a run. Her cuck father said:
Sadly, others have ignored our request. They have instead chosen to callously distort and corrupt Mollie’s tragic death to advance a cause she vehemently opposed. I encourage the debate on immigration; there is great merit in its reasonable outcome. But do not appropriate Mollie’s soul in advancing views she believed were profoundly racist. The act grievously extends the crime that stole Mollie from our family and is, to quote Donald Trump Jr., “heartless" and "despicable.”

To the Hispanic community, my family stands with you and offers its heartfelt apology. That you’ve been beset by the circumstances of Mollie’s death is wrong. We treasure the contribution you bring to the American tapestry in all its color and melody. And yes, we love your food.

This douchebag PM has been the most compliant suicidal traitor that Muslims could hope for, and they whip him like a dog anyway. Their hostility and contempt towards their infidel benefactor is instructive. The more tolerant we are of them, the less tolerant they are of us. The more we believe their lies, the greater their smirking contempt for us.

That was done to mask some very uncomfortable statistics regarding the ethnicities of violent criminals.
Posted by: Thomas Paine

Well, scientifically, Arabs -- and Jews and Lebanese and Kurds and all Middle Easterners -- are indeed "Caucasians." As are 90% of Indians (from India), no matter the skin color. The (basically) four meta-racial groupings, despite the attempt by the Woke Left to expunge them from reality are still valid: Caucasian, sub-Saharan African, Asian, and Aborigine/Melanesian. (And yes, of course there a few outlier groups).The basic pre-migration diving lines are: Everything below the Sahara Desert is "Sub-Saharan African" (a.k.a. "black"); everything north of that and west of a zigzag line going from the Burma/Bangladesh border up through Siberia is "Caucasian" (i.e. "white"); everything east of the line is "Asian"; and the extreme southwest Pacific Ocean islands are Aborigine/Melanesian. We have mapped out all the DNA, not even in dispute anymore.Asian descend from Denisovans, Caucasians from Neanderthals, Africans from neither.

The left doesn't have an easy answer for why they shot Kirk, because if right leaning and moderate people really do come to understand the left believes it has a right to kill anyone that says things they don't like well...things could get sporty.

They also can't exactly ignore the story so their strategy is just to claim the shooter is either a rightwinger or an Israeli agent. That way they don't have to address it. And no, they don't believe it either.

This is a publicity stunt to undermine the prosecution. He won't be called to testify. He's not saying that Robinson is innocent. He's saying that Robinson had accomplices, including "foreign" sources (whoever could be mean by that?), and the FBI wasn't allowed to investigate these foreign sources.

219 From Deadline....diversity doesn't seem that profitable...

"Video game publisher Epic Games is laying off 1,000 workers, citing a drop in engagement with its signature title, Fortnite.

In a memo to employees (read it in full below), CEO Tim Sweeney noted that the cuts are “unrelated to AI.” He said the layoffs will be paired with $500 million in cost savings from contracting marketing and “closing some open roles.”

I asked AI assist if Fortnite became woke....

Fortnite has faced criticism for its inclusion of diverse content and events, which some people label as "woke." This includes initiatives like the Rainbow Royale event celebrating LGBTQIA+ communities, although the game skipped this event in 2025, leading to speculation about its direction

**************

Who's paying for this team? Utah taxpayers!

A judge determined Robinson could not afford private counsel, triggering the county's constitutional obligation to provide a qualified defense in this capital (death penalty) case. Utah County hired Kathryn Nester (a former public defender) as lead counsel, later adding experienced out-of-state attorneys including Richard Novak and Michael Burt (who has prior Menendez brothers trial experience)

The county approved ONE MILLION DOLLARS in defense of Robinson and expect that to be extended by EIGHT FIGURES to which they will go hat in hand to the state legislature so the entire state of taxpayers can foot the bill

Thanks. From what I understand, a significant part of the belief regarding unborn life in Judaism and in Christianity stems from how Exodus 21:22-23 get interpreted (two men struggle and strike a pregnant woman), whether the sudden delivery of the child is "premature" versus "miscarriage" and whether further harm refers to the baby or the woman. Those are very different interpretations with very different conclusions to draw. So it hard to keep it simple when focused on this particular portion of scripture.

283 That's nice, but what's the latest on Tay-Tay?
Posted by: Inquiring minds at March 24, 2026 02:32 PM

As Travis Kelce and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, move closer to their long-announced wedding, an unexpected leak has thrown their carefully guarded plans into chaos. The media revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end plans to play the next NFL season only after tying the knot. Now, as per the latest reports, Swift, who already has a lot on her plate with all the wedding preparations, didn’t see this coming. Hence, this leak has left the singer feeling “rattled,” and Kelce is actively trying to get to the bottom of this.

“In this case, there’s some chatter that the leaks are coming from someone in Travis’ camp, so now he’s on a mission to figure out who’s blabbing, which isn’t exactly his favorite thing to be having to do,” an insider recently revealed to HeatWorld on March 20. “But he is taking it seriously; anything that upsets Taylor, upsets him. At the same time, he’s also trying to get her to relax about all of this."

289 I’ll make it clear up front I am vehemently opposed to abortion. My objections are deeply rooted in my Christian faith. But the orthodox Jewish beliefs on the subject that I’ve seen are largely rational and tied to the Torah, which is disputable on the subject. It’s more about rationalizing the value of life based on survivability. That probably doesn’t do it justice and lacks in substance. But there it is. What’s interesting is they don’t condone the use of abortion as a birth control method. Orthodox Jews with whom I’ve spoken are also not very casual about that conversation and have some very bright lines. YMMV.

Posted by: P. Simon.

Regarding the breakup between Simon and Garfunkle: Despite the fat that Paul Simon is a jerk and an asshole, I have no choice but to take his side in the breakup: Garfunkle had a nice singing voice, but could not write songs. Ability to sing is a fairly common skill. Simon was so-so at singing, but an absolute genius at songwriting. And songwriting is an extremely rare, very very difficult skill. One person in a million can write an original song, and one person in 10 million can write a good memorable original melody. 95% of Simon+Garfunkle's success was due to Simon's songwriting skills. Lots of mediocre groups had good singers, but never hit the big-time because they had no good original songs.

Local Crime Story Update: Crazed Abortionist Who Routinely Murdered Children After They Were Born Dies in Prison

As a wise president once said, "Good, I'm glad he's dead."

Kermit Gosnell, the former Philadelphia abortionist convicted of first-degree murder in the brutal killings of three infants born alive during illegal late-term abortions at his notorious "house of horrors" clinic, has died in prison. He was 85.
Gosnell, who was serving three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole plus an additional 30 years on federal drug charges, died at SCI Huntingdon, according to sources familiar with the matter.
His cause of death was not immediately released, though he had reportedly been in declining health in recent years.
The news emerged publicly via pro-life journalist Ann McElhinney, who extensively covered his 2013 trial, interviewed him in prison, and co-authored a book on the case.
In her announcement, McElhinney described Gosnell as "the abortion doctor who is thought to have murdered thousands of babies in a 30 year killing spree" and called him "a chilling monster who could sometimes come across as charming."
...
A Philadelphia grand jury, in its investigation of Gosnell's Women's Medical Society abortion center, labeled it a "house of horrors" and initially sought charges for hundreds of murders of babies born alive and then killed.
Charges were ultimately limited to seven murder counts "after pressure from senior political and law enforcement officials," according to accounts from those covering the case

If you remember, a twat pro-child-murder feminist progressive explained away the media's complete refusal to cover the grisly serial murders because, she sniffed, it was a "local crime story."

His crimes were so shockingly evil, but the only thing that finally got the media to cover it was the backlash after a Philly blogger posted this picture of the coutroom's empty press gallery.

32 Reminder that the mainstream media had to essentially be cyberbullied into covering the 2013 Kermit Gosnell trial after refusing to do so for weeks to protect the abortion industry.

His crimes were so shockingly evil, but the only thing that finally got the media to cover it was the backlash after a Philly blogger posted this picture of the coutroom's empty press gallery.

1 Timothy 4
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

You don’t want to deaden your conscience because as humans if we do we’re capable of abominable wickedness

124 Delta Air Lines has stripped lawmakers of a little-known VIP travel perk as the shutdown leaves TSA agents unpaid and airports stretched to breaking point.

The move means members of Congress and their staff will no longer get access to a dedicated airline help desk that fast-tracks bookings, changes and support.

Now congress members will have to endure the misery that the masses have faced while they have been swept through check-in with ease.

Perks included airport escorts and red coat services. But for the time being, while its Capitol Desk reservation line remains active, lawmakers will now 'be treated like any other passenger according to their SkyMiles status'.

'Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,' the company said in a statement

That's not far off from what the real Gosnell did.

Although he focused on butchering babies, he also killed at least one woman that we know about -- and joked about it. God only knows how many babies he really murdered, and adults he murdered or maimed, over the course of those decades.

It's also insane to me that poor women (almost all minorities) would repeatedly go back to this monster, when a much easier, cleaner, and less dangerous solution was readily available (birth control).

Well, since the passage won't automatically take people off the rolls in the states, what it means is that the Civil Rights' Division's efforts to clean up voter rolls will become more permanent.

“Jamelah Daboubi, a former teacher at Horizon Science Academy in Columbus, pleaded guilty to gross sexual imposition and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor in Franklin County Common Pleas Court last month, according to court documents obtained by WBNS. . . . Daboubi was fired from her teaching position shortly after her arrest and hit with two counts of sexual battery, which were later amended by authorities, prosecutors said.”

Happily, the squirrels reside in the woods at the back of the house. I've never seen them in the front. I would think they'd be far too exposed, since there aren't trees out front.

I don't watch any gore anymore unless it's somewhat wry like Evil Dead II or that I've seen a thousand times. I don't watch TV and movies to be disturbed. I am disturbed enough.

There is something to how pedowood and the news media presents their violence and bad news that makes me sense the demonic influence. Like the devil showing what he can do.

The news especially, when it's breaking and awful. They are almost gleeful with it - unless it's specifically something that will help the communists like George Floyd. Then the fuckers get somber.

MAJOR BREAKING: International actors are involved in the State Department led color revolution
...
Ex-USAID employees describe how, before January 20, they moved internal groups off government systems and into encrypted Signal chats, then quickly linked with foreign partners and NGOs after the inauguration. This attempt at creating a color revolution isn't new news; this part was already reported in NOTUS earlier this year.

But what's not reported is the international aspect. One participant explicitly frames it as "a global anti-authoritarian movement," connecting U.S. officials with "colleagues from around the world who have dealt with this directly."

Reebok can whip these branded sneakers together in about 30 minutes and have them made by slaves for about $1.64 a pop. I doubt they can ever really lose a lot of money.

363 Women's sports, in general, is pure patronization. Sure, in high school and college is serves a teaching purpose. You learn about teamwork, discipline, perserverence to name a few.

BUT, women's professional sports, the women's Olympic events, World meets for track and field etc. PURE unaduturated patronization. It's Junior Varsity. The only purpose it might serve is to entice girls to pursue atheletics while securing an education.

370 Gosnell received his MD from Jefferson Medical College shortly after the school also graduated its first female physician. He had a horrible reputation well before he was finally trapped in felony cases. But no one in Philly had the balls or morals to challenge a Black Doctor until his actions went beyond egregious. Thus both the medical establishment and government legal system in Philly share guilt in savage murders of babies. The medical school changed its name when Sidney Kimmel paid his way into their halls. Seems fitting.

Today at the eye doc (regular visit all is well) a super old man behind me was talking about "seeing his nutritionist next week." I am not going there willingly and think three docs I have to see (eye, derm, ARNP) need to arrange a conference once a year to see me and then leave me alone.

I hope Gosnell is in the lower bowel of hell.

I did raise consciousness of his horror when I briefly invaded WaPo as a French anthroplogist. The rabid and stupid commenters did not even catch on that I was messing with them after I said my project was, "WaPo in the Mist." Very polite with me being French. It was hilarious on a horrible subject and I let 'er rip.

The Morning Rant: Anonymity

Anonymity is vital for the proper functioning of a free society, regardless of legal protections afforded by the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights for free speech, unencumbered by government influence or interference.

But as the current social-media-obsessed culture demonstrates, anonymity from the majority is also vital. Doxxing and deplatforming and worse are now a staple of public discourse.

From: McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission (1995)

Under our Constitution, anonymous pamphleteering is not a pernicious, fraudulent practice, but an honorable tradition of advocacy and of dissent. Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. See generally J. Mill, On Liberty and Considerations on Representative Government 1, 3-4 (R. McCallum ed. 1947). It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation-and their ideas from suppression-at the hand of an intolerant society. The right to remain anonymous may be abused when it shields fraudulent conduct. But political speech by its nature will sometimes have unpalatable consequences, and, in general, our society accords greater weight to the value of free speech than to the dangers of its misuse.

It is relatively simple for political and social elites to speak freely; they have walls, both figurative and literal, built around them by dint of their wealth or their government connection. It is exactly those people against whom anonymity is a powerful weapon, because their reach is far more powerful than the mere citizen.

Entrance into the public sphere as a politician (or the quaint term: public servant), or commentator, or pundit, or as an entertainment figure immediately expands one's megaphone far beyond that of the citizen, and it also affords one the protection of the organized media, the state and, sadly, in many cases, the long arm of the state or media that reaches out to punish one's interlocutors.

Against this we have one tool: anonymity. And who are the enemies of anonymity? Those who have other protections!

Here is a comment from a purported 1st Amendment lawyer, who thinks that anonymous speech should be held to a different standard. He was responding to some "famous" person whose name I barely know, but whose attack on anonymity is self serving and intellectually weak. I cited one obvious need for anonymity...The United Kingdom, which is busily imprisoning people for their speech! But there are countless others here in America that are powerful defenses of anonymity as one of the pillars of our free discourse in ideas. For example; "Whistleblowers" are sometimes self-serving and craven, but there are numerous examples of their importance in exposing government malfeasance.

And our current legal and political structure was debated in The Federalist Papers by "Publius," (Hamilton, Madison, and Jay), and rebutted by "Federal Farmer," whose identity is still not certain after almost 240 years!

If anonymity was an appropriate right to be exercised by those men, then it is certainly something worth defending.

In spite of the technological advances since 1787, instant communication via the internet has changed nothing...we are all still pamphleteers!

I suppose it depends on things like "what do you mean by compromise" and "says who".

In this article, from all the way back in last night, it says "Senate Republicans believe that President Trump is willing..." which is a bit different than "Trump wants". Further, the article says that it would be, effectively, failure theater for the Dems as they'd then use reconciliation to get the stuff the Dems object to.

You can get honesty.

But you can also get less reality. If you don't KNOW the person talking, they could be anyone....a fed, an op like Uncle Palpy or Q or a few other nics...could be a fuzzy legged foreigner proporting to be a citizen....could be a smart labrador retriever. Or a bot. Or AI soon enough, if not already.

I worked at MSFT back in the 90's and early 2000's and I realized early that anonymity is a lot of work with relatively little chance of success. Unless you go all Uncle Ted and go seriously off grid, the government knows who you are and what you post online.

So I decided back then to only post online under my own name (porn sites aside). If I wasn't willing to say it using my own name, maybe I should say it. Anonymity was a comforting lie anyway.

Unlikely.

The Federalist Papers were published in New York newspapers between
October 1787 and August 1788. Written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the pseudonym "Publius," the 85 essays argued for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The first essay appeared on October 27, 1787.

Unlikely.

The Federalist Papers were published in New York newspapers between
October 1787 and August 1788. Written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the pseudonym "Publius," the 85 essays argued for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The first essay appeared on October 27, 1787.

What this means in practice then is leftists can attach whatever statements they want to their real names - including direct calls for violence - and suffer no consequences.

But my daughter flew a month ago (DHS wasn’t funded then) and security lines were routine… media overhyping or is it getting worse as it drags on? Maybe TSA folks are starting to call in sick?

My daughter flew to CA yesterday. She got to DCA 3 hours early so as not to miss the flight. She went through TSA precheck in 3 minutes.

Not the cast of the insult. Homosexual relationships in rome were a lot like Muslim countries today (without the rampant bestiality) Having gay relationships was ok- as long as you were the dominant partner (i.e. The Man.)

I have bad news for you regarding the bestiality part...some of the mystery cults and kinkier religions did a lot more than sacrfice goats...

And yes, being submissive sexually with men was discouraged strongly and considered shameful. How accepting Rome was of homosexuality is complicated and shaded. Partly due to Greek cultural contamination.

The Legions would stone homosexuals to death, so it wasn't like the culture was completely pro-homo.

It does require some effort and a real message to be a successful pamphleteer, like Ace, or other sites that build trust over time. But the government certainly knows who Ace is. And the multitude of shadow banners and censors actively suppress the distribution of those digital "pamphlets".

The odd thing is, we see in both flavors of homosexual relationship that usually there is a breakdown into traditional norms. One is the 'male' and one is the 'female.' Men or women.

Most of us should be thrilled about our "white heritage". And not because of "white privilege", but because of the values with which we were raised. Plus on the IQ level we came out pretty high on the "totem pole" as well.

And besides the whiteness, there is the American identity those of us over 29 learned in schools and from other groups of old (Boy Scouts, DeMolay, even little league).

But with indoctrination in schools, white kids now learn how evil their heritage (allegedly) is. The high carb diet and BigPharma infiltration has also made America weaker. All intentional, from what I can tell.

You're assuming the umpires are "bad" as in making bad mistakes. I don't think it's a coincidence that the (apparent) sudden uptick in terrible calls costing games and points took place at the same time as sports betting exploded.

I'm sure someone can run some AI program on all the games in all sports with active legal betting markets that had very controversial calls and compare the outcomes to the bet action. I will almost guarantee there will be some non-zero number for r.

79 Amazing painting

Posted by: vmom deport deport deport at March 24, 2026 09:52 AM (6U1c2)

80 This painting is extraordinary. Guercino beautifully captured the elements of aging, especially in a man. The skin textures, how his hand and shoulder reflect the passing of youth with less muscle tone and wrinkled hands, the slight yellowing of the eyes, and the sunken eyes and cheeks, all make the impression. The details and natural coloration make this almost photographic.

Beyond the technical qualities of the painting, which are huge, Guercino provides an emotional aspect. The man is aged but not decrepit. The yearning in his expression doesn't feel sad but acknowledges the passing of his prime and possible losses in his life. There's memory and reflection but not despair. Maybe acceptance.

I would hang this without hesitation. Most men my age would identify with this image and the feeling behind it.

Underneath the hood, there's a world of smart software and machine learning models that power Halter's intelligence, turning raw data into insight that farmers can action. It's what enables the collars to guide & contain cattle, monitor their behaviour, detect when they might be ill and estimate pasture covers from satellite & weather data.  All happening in the background, 24/7.

262 Head Of An Old Man
Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (Guercino)

artuk org: Head of an old Man, Guercino (1591–1666),
Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

This boldly executed painting is probably an oil sketch made from the life as a study of physiognomy and expression. Although the man's gaze and the warm lighting suggest that Guercino had in mind a figure of a saint or a prophet, it is not connected with a final painting, nor is it a fragment of a finished work. The freedom of handling suggests a dating of c.1619–1620. A copy is in the Hermitage, St Petersburg.
--
Painting reminds me of "Why me, Lord?" question from Job.

There's another by same artist: Head of an Old Man in Profile, 17th century (Pen and brown ink on paper)

The Morning Report — 3/24/26

Good morning kids. With the United States heavily engaged in military operations against the Iranian regime, and Cardboard Cutouts notwithstanding, that regime still capable of hurling missiles at Israel and other nations in the region, is this something?!

A massive explosion ripped through the Valero refinery in Port Arthur on Monday, sending a towering column of black smoke over the city and triggering an emergency response across Jefferson County. The cause of the explosion is under investigation. . . The Valero refinery in Port Arthur is ranked as one of the ten largest refineries in the United States. Valero reported the refinery produces 435,000 barrels of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel per day.

In the wake of Israel's recent strike on a key Iranian/Qatari oil facility and President Trump's threat to obliterate Iran's energy infrastructure if the regime does not capitulate or accede to his demands for a cessation of hostilities, is there a link to Iran or was this some freak accident. Given the our props borders and joke of an immigration enforcement system prior to the Trump era, sabotage not only can't be ruled out but IMHO it most likely was the cause. Perhaps this brainwave might be pushing things but our own homegrown traitors in the form of Antifa and the red-green-climate change maniacs could have used the war as cover to pull off an attack or are in league with Iranian/Islamic terror cells? And then this happened:

Barksdale Air Force Base (BAFB), a major U.S. strategic bomber installation in northwest Louisiana, has just experienced an unusually serious series of unauthorized drone incursions over its most sensitive areas.
More than a dozen unsanctioned drones repeatedly swarmed a US Air Force base that is home to a nuclear bomber fleet — and were able to resist efforts to bring them down via jamming technology, according to military officials.

And speaking of the common denominator of "Death to America"

A Chicago alderwoman appeared to blame an 18-year-old woman for her own fatal shooting last week, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien.
Chicago police announced Sunday that Jose Medina-Medina had been arrested for the murder of Sheridan Gorman, a freshman at Loyola University. Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden speculated that Gorman was in the “wrong place at the wrong time.”

I guess we are all in the wrong place at the wrong time! We are Americans in a nation that has been subsumed by a cancerous evil malign force known as the Democrat Party that seeks our domination via the destruction of our society and culture.

Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker refuses to say whether he will honor an ICE detainer request for an illegal alien accused of killing an 18-year-old college student.
Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman was walking in a park on Thursday morning around 1:00 a.m., to “catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights” when Medina-Medina allegedly approached her. Gorman “attempted to flee,” but Medina-Medina allegedly shot her in the head. Gorman was pronounced dead at the scene, according to local reports and the Department of Homeland Security.

Fuck that noise. Send in the Green Berets to storm the jail and take the scumbag out by force - and Arrest Fatzker for insurrection or obstruction of justice. He needs to swing if he dares interfere, but there isn't a construction crane sturdy enough to hoist him up by his brontosaurus neck.

Have a great day!

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

The blast erupted inside the sprawling Gulf Coast facility shortly after midday, shaking nearby neighborhoods and prompting officials to warn residents to stay indoors as fire crews and industrial‑hazmat teams rushed to contain the incident. The explosion produced a thick plume visible for miles across Southeast Texas, adding new scrutiny to one of the nation’s largest refining corridors as authorities worked to determine the cause of the blast and assess potential hazards.

ICE arrest of illegal migrant fugitive at San Francisco airport sparks fear-mongering — here’s what really happened
NO SOB STORY: Outrage erupted at the San Francisco International Airport after ICE agents arrested a woman at the air hub on the eve of President Trump’s order to deploy the officers.
Instead of gutting immigration enforcement, he’s sent ICE into more than a dozen of the nation’s busiest airports to make up for TSA’s missing manpower. Democrats, predictably, are furious — and fearmongering to the nth degree. “The last thing the American people need is for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports across the country, potentially to brutalize or to kill them,” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries frothed on CNN’s “State of the Union.” What about the Americans brutalized and killed by illegal-alien criminals?

Robert Mueller is dead, but his toxic legacy lives on in the destroyed lives of the innocent victims targeted by the Russia collusion probe that bears his name. To understand why President Trump had no kind words for the former FBI director when he died over the weekend at age 81, you have to understand the human toll on the president and dozens of his friends and allies. Who knows whether Mueller, who had Parkinson’s, was in command of all his faculties when he was appointed special counsel at age 72? But the deep state evildoers on his team knew exactly what they were doing when they used his formerly prestigious reputation to pervert the course of justice for their “Get Trump” frolic.

==================
Gmac, so sorry to hear your news. While this may be of zero help, there is one possibility I can suggest. I have no idea where you live but a fellow I know had a death sentence from prostate cancer that similarly had advanced to his bones and got himself into a trial at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, using (primarily) an estrogen therapy, changing and strictly controlling diet, and quarterly visits for study purposes. It has worked, at least so far.

I was on a bunch of flights during Biden's term. A lot of airports were full of illegals. Some airports even had special lines for them.

It wasn't incompetence, it was a plan to flood the country with illegals, send them all over the country and turn them into Democrat votes.

Probably an urban legend, but it was rumored that under *biden's reign illegals were provided with government issued documentation that permitted their unfettered travels throughout the country. Mostly on our dime.

I do not know if this little "benefit" was rescinded under Trump. It should have been. But, then again, there's still a lot of illegals here that "should" have be ejected last year. Thanks to the judicial coup underway.

So we destroyed their capabilities- for now. Until they get built up again. Trump said the talks are “going well” and he’s dealing with “reasonable people”. Really? They just asked for complete compensation for all the war damage, insist on charging a toll to pass through the strait, want the ayatollah in charge and a bunch of other crap. No wonder the Israelis keep smoking people. Hopefully they get whoever the admin is talking to. This is a giant shit puddle.

He went from unconditional surrender to we are negotiating with reasonable people who are the same people now running the country a few layers removed. They are not negotiating. They are making demands. They’ve been telling every opposition group to hold fast and keeping armed militias from standing up. Meanwhile he’s gonna turn the whole thing back over to the same people. We have destroyed all their crap before. The one constant is the leadership- and it looks like he’s going to leave them in charge. That means five years from now we are right back in the same place.

119 Q: Will we see ICE arresting illegal migrants at airports? Trump: Yeah. That's why the Democrats are going crazy. ICE loves it because they're able to now arrest illegals as they come into the country. It's very fertile territory.

I hope this gets out and cripples flights and tourism. I would be afraid to come here and im white.

if you come to USA via an airport, wouldnt you have been checked for passport and visa before you even get that far?

Yeah, undocumented people are coming through airports. 🤡 This country is so fucked because enough people believe bullshit like this. He doesn't actually mean illegal he means non white.

ICE replacing/assisting TSA in US airports will do literally nothing about illegal immigration because TSA doesn't handle immigration in US airports; CBP does. Need a Praetorian Guard solution ASAP.

Pure goddamn idiot traitors. Every damn magat SOULD be replaced by an immigrant. It would make the country 100x safer, smarter, better, and more successful. And they're trying to blame TSA delays and funding issues on the Democrats!!!!

I took one for the team. I did a bit of searching. He has short stumps for arms and legs. His limbs were amputated somewhat above the elbows and knees. He has or had a short pair of artificial legs, the blade type like those of South African Oscar Pistorius. I didn't find pix showing any sort of artificial grippers at the ends of his shortened arms. The ends of his arms do have flesh and blood bifurcated 'appendages', that can act as a stumpy thumb and index finger. Probably due to special surgery. Enabling him to grasp and hold a beanbag and hold a handgun in his left 'hand' and 'pull' the trigger with the right one. I get the impression he plays in a handicap cornhole league.

He may have sources inside opposition circles who live outside Iran, but he cannot know what is going on in Trump's head. And watching and listening to Trump for a while, I can tell you that Trump is projecting some kind of handover. And soon. He hinted the "Venezuela" model for a while, but Venezuela, or any American country is nothing like the Middle East. If he gives it to anyone on the inside who was part of the regime, it will just be another Saddam Hussein.

138 Paul Harvey and ..... The rest of the story:

Here are the facts.

ICE arrested Angelina Lopez-Jimenez and Wendy Godinez-Lopez — both Guatemalan nationals with a final order of removal from an immigration judge dating back to 2019. While being escorted to the international terminal for processing, Lopez-Jimenez attempted to flee and resisted law enforcement officers.

This arrest happened before ICE officers were even deployed to airports to assist TSA. It had nothing to do with the DHS shutdown or the airport security mission.

SFO isn't even one of the airports where ICE is expected to assist TSA — it uses private contractors for screening and isn't affected by the shutdown impasse.

None of that stopped the pile-on. State Senator Scott Wiener held a news conference outside the airport declaring ICE was "terrorizing a mother." Congressman Kevin Mullin demanded immediate answers about a "kidnapping." San Francisco's mayor called it "upsetting." Social media accounts with millions of followers described it as ICE rounding up American citizens.

150 The woman was not an American citizen. She had a deportation order since 2019. ICE did exactly what it is supposed to do.

This is the playbook — every time. Film the arrest. Strip the context. Claim it's a citizen. Generate outrage. Get politicians to amplify before the facts come out. And then never correct the record once the truth is established. Seven years. That's how long this family had a removal order and remained in California. California's sanctuary policies made that possible. ICE finally enforced a court order — and elected officials called it a kidnapping.

The primary point of government is to protect its citizens from having their God given rights taken away by foreigners. Here not only is IL not doing that, they are paying and protecting the invaders.

Oil is the biggest fungible commodity on the planet.
Oil is bought on contract. Oil in the refineries and already in tanks at gas stations were bought at a certain price previously.

The fact that the price jumped a dollar a gallon is because they can. They oil companies are bidding on hasn't come out of the ground yet. They raise prices because you have no recourse.

No different than raising it a quarter just before a holiday weekend. That gas in those underground tanks at the gas station was already bought at xx dollars. THAT gas didn't go up. They raised the price because they can.

201 One of my favorite 60 Minutes segments back in the 80/90s was where they discussed how Cuba solved the AIDS crisis.

By locking up all the faggots.

They spent the whole segment on "it's fine that Cuba did this but it's bad but we won't say it's bad but it worked but we can't do that here because it's bad not because it didn't work but because reasons."

He better pray the left does not regain the levers of power during the midterms or next national election for president. He'll likely find himself and the end of a proverbial rope otherwise.

He'd be better off rounding up the trouble makers now. Worry about the ramifications later. If there are any. I think we overestimate the left's reach when they're beat down.

As I understand it, and I'm not an entrepreneur so I could be completely wrong, the price that they charge is based on what they expect to pay to replace what they sell, not what they paid for the product.

If they were to charge their cost plus some reasonable markup, in a time of higher inflation they would go out of business as the money brought in from selling inventory would be insufficient to purchase new inventory.

I googled to look for polls, to see if there's any significant backing for this (insane) take, and the AI summary gave the usual "both sides blame each other" nonsense, but concluded with:

Ultimately, partisan narratives are in conflict, but internal Democratic polling suggests Republicans may bear the brunt of public blame despite the political finger-pointing.

Strangely, all the other paragraphs had links attached, but not that one.

That’s the sad reality that underlies just about every strip bar anywhere. The regular customers are lonely men who’ve decided there’s one girl there who actually likes them; the girls are mostly angry addicts who despise their customers but who know how to act, and hide it.

Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden was speaking after Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old from Yorktown, New York, was shot dead on Thursday morning while she walked with friends along the city’s lakefront near campus.

They might have unintentionally startled this person at the end of the pier. We don’t believe there is cause for broader community concern.

Hadden’s comments come despite police reports that Gorman’s killer stalked her from behind for some time before shooting her at point-blank range and fleeing the scene.

Valero Energy Corporation is Delaware-incorporated, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and serves as a major manufacturer and marketer of transportation fuels and petrochemical products.

It operates multiple Texas facilities. Valero acquired Premcor in 2005, taking ownership of the Port Arthur refinery & other refining operations. It has a refinery & terminals in the UK, a refinery & terminals in Canada, and terminals in Peru.

Marsy’s Law ensures that victims of violent crime have equal, constitutional rights on the same level as those accused and convicted of those crimes. Published: Nov. 6, 2024

In part, (WIFR) - More than four in every 1,000 Illinois residents are affected by violent crime each year despite a nationwide drop in crime.

On Nov. 4th, 2014, Marsy‘s Law was added to the state constitution winning 78% of the vote – more than 2.6 million voters. Leaders say this law is among the strongest protections of crime victims’ rights in the country.

Top Story

Intel's Arrow Lake Refresh desktop CPUs are here - the 250K and 270K Plus. (Tom's Hardware)

Are they fast? Yes. They close in on the regular AMD parts for gaming, and the 270K competes with the 9950X for heavy desktop workloads.

Are they power-efficient? Not especially, but they are a big improvement over Intel's notoriously power-hungry 13th and 14th generation chips.

Are they good value? Definitely. $200 for the 250K with 6P and 12E cores, and $300 for the 270K with 8P and 16E cores would make them hard to resist if you could buy the rest of the components for a system.

Should you buy one? Probably not. These run in Intel's Socket 1851 platform and that will be retired within a year for Nova Lake and its Socket 1954.

If that's not a concern - and particularly if you already have DDR5 memory sitting around - then yes, these look worth considering.

22 Decided on buying a new laptop. An Apple Sky. [+ a petting zoo of various PCs]. Posted by: Puddleglum

I stopped by Best Buy over the weekend and looked at the Neo again and the various Windows 11 PCs in that price range. As a complete package the Neo is sort of the perfect light duty PC. The materials to build it are first-rate, It has a bright and fairly accurate screen, the keyboard is excellent, and because of the solid single core performance, it's pretty snappy. Get the one with the touch ID and the 512 GB SSD and it's sorta spiffy.

The Neo has slow SSDs but for it's targeted use case fast SSDs are not necessary. I have a Surface Go 2 with a 512 GB microSD card in it which I use for OneDrive storage; it's been working just fine for 4 years.

The Neo is also hits its thermal limits rapidly and ramps down to about 4W. That pretty much gates the it's performance. People have cracked open the case and put a thermal pad over the area where the CPU is so it makes contact with the case and that helps get rid of the heat and improves the performance.

Like you, I've never owned a Mac OS machine so I'm really interested in hearing your first impressions.

I'm torn between buying a Neo, since it makes an affordable experiment, and jumping up to the Air as a potential first long-term Mac. Like you, I don't need another computer but the idea of having one is so intriguing that the only question is how much is it going to cost me?

29 "I've never owned a Mac OS machine [...]"

I don't either, but I've got one from work.

Parts of the UI will drive you mildly batshit or moderately increase your batshittiness. The UI still thinks it's on a 1984 Macintosh where there's exactly one menu bar and that's on the top of screen.

If you only run one thing at a time and it's always maximized to fill your monitor, then you'll be a happy camper. If you have multiple windows on your monitor and a relatively large screen, you'll always have to move your cursor to the top of the monitor to access your application's menu bar.

If you have multiple monitors, you'll probably find that the Mac OS doesn't understand how to properly manage application windows across them.

On the plus side, Option-spacebar, type in your application name (with completion), and you can launch any program your system knows about. Shift-uparrow and you can see all your open windows in a mosaic across all your monitors. It's a weird blend of BSD unix and NextStep, so you can open a Terminal application and run commands in a shell (zsh is the current default).

I find it much less annoying than Windows but I wouldn't buy a Mac. YMMV.

MacOS is a lot simpler than Windows.
There aren't a lot of different settings, spread around through the control panel, etc. Everything is contained in the Settings app, mostly.

Apple provides a few of their own software for free if you download them; Notes, Music, Quicktime, but also you can get Garage Band (music creator/editor), iMovie (video editing), and their iWork Suite, which you download for free, has Pages (Word processing/Publishing), Numbers (Spreadsheets), and Keynote (Presentation).

A little advice for anybody getting a Macbook Neo, or who have an 8GB RAM Mac of any kind; always leave at least 10GB free space on your SSD/HHD as with that amount of memory the system your drive as a swap file, a lot, and if you're storage is out of space it will lock up your computer and crash out until you free up more space. I had to learn that the hard way several years back.

With 256 or 512GB that SSD will fill up if you use a lot of apps or save a lot of hi-rez photos and videos.

For $500 phone it's just fine and it gets 7 years of updates though the chances of owning one that long are pretty close to zero. Plus it's a huge improvement over the 6a, which I own as a backup phone, which Google had to cripple because it catches on fire If it isn't.

Amazon and Walmart regularly sell older model Macbook Airs (13" & 15") with M1 - M4 chips on sale. You can save a few hundred dollars there. If you want to save even more, Amazon has Renewed Airs for a few hundred more off, if you don't mind a used machine.

If you want to just try it out and don't need the newest M5 chip that's an option to get a better deal.

42 Sunday I traveled to Western Kansas to help NotSoThoreau. The day was clear ands very windy, unlike the pea soup fog on Christmas. My car seemed to get 5 mpg less in the relentless wind.

Went past 8 large installations of wind farms. In every farm, there were some turbines that were not moving, with feathered blades. Three sections of wind farms south of I-70 had no blades turning. The wind was too strong for them to work.

I helped her move stuff from an interior room to her new storage shed. Filled about 20% of it before my back said no more. The process was impeded by Jake, her wonder dog.

She treated me to a good lunch at a good tavern, just a few blocks away. She is good people.

The drive back was busy. Once north of Salina, there were cars on the road. So only 100 miles of travel without company on the road.

Got to watch the ranchers get green fields ready for hungry Angus.

46 I find it much less annoying than Windows but I wouldn't buy a Mac. YMMV. Posted by: Richard Cranium

Thanks for the good input. I don't particularly find Windows 11 that annoying. I know the OS so well I know how to work around 95% of the complaints with the remaining 5% I don't care about. The long-term trend though has me scratching my head and because of that I've been looking at Macs as an alternative. If Microsoft actually follows through and fixes the legitimate complaints people have with the OS I have less incentive to go shopping elsewhere. Another reason that keeps me in the Microsoft ecosystem is the Snapdragon ARM CPUs. Over the holidays I was able to pick up a Surface Pro SD Plus ARM machine for $700 as an experiment using the ARM platform. It's been nothing but great for me. The SD X2 Elite/Plus machines are due to hit the market any day now. How those pan out will likely factor in how I move forward in the future.. More likely than not, I am going to pick up a Neo for no other reason than because.

Go into the App Store on the Mac and search for "Memory Clean 2". Install that app, and open it, runs in the background on your taskbar next to the Volume, WiFi, Date/Time.

It shows you how much RAM is being used at all times, and you can click on it and hit "Clean Memory" which will clear out anything stored in RAM that is safe to unload.

This sounds like forced use cases. Having AI go shopping for combs and then completing the transaction strikes me as ridiculous.

Overnight Open Thread [03/23/2026]

That is a bar in West Yellowstone, Montana. Not quite as impressive as the bar from Saturday night's ONT, but what it lacks in aesthetics, it more than makes up for in food and booze quality. The elk chop is superb, but the bourbon list is incredible, especially considering the location, or maybe it is exactly why the bourbon list is so impressive!

It also has a bear spray rental kiosk in the lobby, and that might make it the best bar in America!

It's easy to ignore places like this, but this is America, where appearances can be deceiving. There is great...everything...to be had across our wonderful country, and to the disgust of the elites in the cities, a lot of that greatness is far outside of NYC and Chicago and Los Angeles.

Not just food -- although I would argue that the best American food is found outside of the cities -- but tradesmen and teachers and contractors and dentists and clerks in stores and...

There was this poor, pious old guy who hears that the Pope is going on tour and will be parading through his city. He was very excited that he might get a chance to meet the Pope, shake his hand, and maybe even receive a blessing from the Holy Father! So he decided to make a plan: perhaps the Pope would want to meet the richest man in town! Figuring that if he were somehow able to appear wealthy, and stand by the road, the Pope would see him, be impressed, stop, and he would get to shake the Pope‘s hand.
So this poor old fella went out and bought a nice new expensive suit that he couldn’t really afford, a sharp fedora and wingtips, and on the appointed day, got up early, put on his new clothes, hit the barber shop and got a neat comb-over haircut, then made his way to the edge of the street where the Pope would soon be passing by in the vaunted Popemobile.
After what seemed like an eternity, our newly-outfitted guy finally spots the approaching motorcade, and he begins to get all tingly with anticipation. As the Popemobile gets closer and closer, it suddenly stops right in front of him. The Pope climbs down, out of his vehicle, walks toward him, but without even looking at him, walks past toward a scruffy little dude nearby, sitting obliviously and leaning against a wall. The little guy is wearing nasty, dirty clothes and is obviously stinking drunk. The Pope, arms folded, stands silently over the drunk, who finally looks up. The Pope unfolds his arms, slowly leans down and whispers something to the drunk that nobody can hear. Then smiling stupidly, this drunk gets up and hobbles down the street as the Pope makes his way back to his Popemobile, to the roar of the nearby crowd.
Our friend is momentarily confused, but then it dawns on him: Of course! The Pope doesn’t want to meet rich people; he wants to meet downtrodden, poor people! So he goes to “Plan-B” and runs after the drunk guy. When he catches up to him, he offers to swap clothes (and shoes!) with him. Of course, the man immediately agrees. So they go behind a couple of bushes and proceed with their transaction. While he’s momentarily overcome by the stench of his new clothes, he tells himself that sacrifices must be made to get a blessing of the Holy Father, and off he runs after the slowly moving Papal motorcade.
He runs and runs, and finally catches up to the motorcade. He goes a little ways ahead, then stops and sits down just like the drunk guy did, to wait for the Popemobile to pass by. Sure enough, as it gets to him, it stops! He’s beyond excited as the Pope climbs down and walks straight over towards him. Just as before, with arms crossed and with a stern, pious expression, the Pope stands over him. After a few seconds, the Pope leans down in his face and quietly says,

“I thought I just told you to get the fuck out of here.”

My dental appointment was awesome, very educational and she and I and her assistant had some great discussions. When I was a PC tech I would always educate my users on why what they were doing was wrong, and I appreciate that in other professions. I mean, it keeps you from making the same mistakes and makes you feel smarter. Always great.

"I responded, 'Why, "AUNT" your Holiness."

86 Cyndi Lauper was also in the Rock 'n' Wrestling WWF story line in the 80s. Captain Lou Albano was her nemesis as she was championing a lady wrestler vs. Albano managing The Fabulous Moolah. Went on for months and was very funny. She and Albano were really pals and he appeared in a couple of her videos. She seemed a good sport.

You are so right. I was in the back edge of nowhere one evening and stopped to get fuel. I asked the clerk who had the best food in the area for a quick meal. She sent me to this place called "Suburban Drive inn"...out in the middle of nothing. The owner does the cooking, and he had a smoker and grills set up behind the rather shabby looking place...served up some of the best burgers I've ever had, fresh cut fries...I watched him dice the potatoes. It shamed all the fast food joints...in quality, quanity and price. Plus a good conversation with the owner while he cooked. He was a funny guy. Telling bad jokes all the while.

Irish hip-hop group Kneecap in Cuba as part of the "Nuestra América" convoy which delivered 20 tons of humanitarian aid to the island. The Belfast-based trio—Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí—used their trip to highlight both the impact of the U.S. embargo on Cuba and to declare solidarity with Palestine.
--
Kneecap joined the convoy to deliver aid, protesting what they termed the "strangling" of Cuba by U.S. sanctions.

During a concert in Havana, the group led crowds in chants of "Free, Free Palestine" and denounced Israeli officials, linking the struggle against imperialism in Cuba to Palestine. (Small part shown on Fox News today)

Then a poke at the Pope, a Monty Python meme repeat, a cruel jab at the disabled, and even a lame Far Side pic. (Not one of his best and I don't get it, as others said.)

156 PORT ARTHUR, Texas — ...at the Valero Port Arthur Refinery on the evening of Monday, 03/ 23, /26. The blast, which occurred around 6:30 PM, sent thick plumes of black smoke into the sky and rattled windows in homes across Port Arthur, Groves, and Nederland. As of Tuesday morning, emergency crews remain on-site, ...

The explosion originated within the refinery complex located on the Texas Gulf Coast, approximately 90 miles east of Houston. Eyewitnesses reported a "deafening boom" followed by visible flames shooting from the facility.
• Preliminary Cause: Jefferson County Sheriff Zena Stephens indicated that the blast was likely caused by an industrial heater unit.
• Casualties: In a significant relief to the community, Valero Public Affairs Manager Carol Hebert confirmed that all personnel have been accounted for, and no injuries have been reported so far.
• Operational Impact: The Port Arthur facility is one of the largest in the U.S., processing roughly 435,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
It is currently unclear how much of the refinery’s production capacity will be offline during the investigation and repairs.

My favorite from that album is All Through The Night:

I like how she seems to sing about 10% beyond her ability, even though she's not..... like that voice-cracking thing she does around 1:30-1:40 in ATtN.

There's a goth-ish band called Tapping The Vein, whose singer, Heather Thompson, does the same thing.

184 God bless Gmac with as long and as painless a life as possible. Such a shock, and such a nice comment. You seem in good spirits, which is a tonic. Ask Teresa!

Almost 71, y'say? Psalm 90:10 KJV has been on my mind a lot since old man health problems hit me at age 71 a few years ago:
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

But then there's Genesis 6:3
And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
But in context I guess that may be just for the "giants in the earth in those days."

Posted by: Stateless

Four litres in canadian dollars divided by 1.06 equals the cost of a US gallon in canadian dollars. Multiply that by the exchange rate 0.727 (today one canadian dollar will get you 72.7 US cents) will get you the price of a gallon of gas in USdollars in Canada. Example gas at C$1.59/litre: ((4x1.59)/1.06)x0.727=US$4.362. per gallon.

227 Home, shower, bed after babysitting all day & taking our 7mo old home up the mountain to her bed after her cereal, applesauce & bottle.

As I was putting her in her sleep sack thing (arms free always since birth), she made a machine gun sound & smiled. We are unsure what this means, but I think she was thanking us for being her slaves all day.

At the age where she throws toys and waits to see who will pick it up for her. Fake coughs. Rolls everywhere & almost crawling.
She also does a forehead to forehead sign of affection like the Coneheads on SNL. We're pretty crazy about all three of them, but THIS girl was God's great surprise of 2025 and wins all the baby prizes of the universe.

Since they are born I always light the gas fireplace next to where they have their bottles as they burp. They all mind meld it to come on and of course I do this for them. She cracks us up staring at the fireplace when it's not on and has figured out there is a remote.

If all babies were as easy as she is we'd over take islam in 20yrs as people would want ten. Puts herself to sleep having chats and chuckles. Wakes with a big smile when she sees you. She's our boss, & we are thankful she's here.

That's new. The argument for "roll back" instead of "roll forward" is usually "I own a cat, and he'll paw the whole roll onto the floor."

241 If you don't have a cat, then that is the correct way to put the toilet paper on.

If you have a cat, then the toilet paper goes on the other way so that the cat won't unravel it. Of course, the cat may figure out why you put the toilet paper on backwards and decide to unravel the tp anyway...

Dude don't have 2 nickles to rub together because he's a fucking retard, and the original stuff is obsolete and failing. Just the water lines, no drains. I'll do it in PEX. The shit is so cheap I can't believe it. 100ft roll is $26, and fittings are under $1 each. The place is a dump so we're going to go quick and dirty and run the pipe inside along the corner of the walls. No fucking way am I going under that piece of shit. It really needs to be burned down to the foundation. He's lucky I'm even doing it.

...................................

In my mind there are microscopic droplets (and sometimes possibly not microscopic when our sons were 4 and 2yrs old and racing each other) on the tp hanging the wrong way. Plus if someone does not close the lid to flush. And I don't want to get into other stuff right now before bed.

Therefore, as a lady, with the tiny bit of exposed tp the way I hang the roll, I fold that over and there you have it. Much better. I made all of this up and will remain unchanged.

When flying in a plane and flushing, always close the toilet lid, hold your breath, flush, grab a paper towel to open the loo door and get out as fast as you possibly can.

I still think it is weird that people wanted to be in the mile high club in there as ick. No thanks!

So, I cleaned (barf, gag) the broken dump pipe and glued it back together. Slopped a bunch of silicone on top of that. He kept wanting to fiddle with it, before it fully cured!

I'll probably go along the ceiling in the corner. Too much shit in the way on the floor. Baseboards, etc. Oh its a junker alright. He needs a hot water heater, its leaking, so right now its cold water only there, and the old plumbing will never survive a swap.

Dude has been enabled in his stoopidity and freeloading lifestyle for so long, he is not competent to run his own life. (IMO)

So-- now that he's in a safe place, with plenty of professional help-- I'm backing off completely. Took all the paperwork down to the shelter admin office today & explained... He needs to *totally immerse* into this New Life (which he claimed to desire, upon arrival here) and all that previous enabling, did him no favors.

Admin agrees and understands. I was commended for doing so much in just 2 weeks AND for "setting boundaries". Yeah. Yay me, I guess.

Well my years doing kitchens and baths was all encompassing. We worked with great plumbers and electricians, so I learned all that from them in first year or so, and you pickup other stuff. I had uncles in the home contractor business, my father knew it, and little by little you end up learning all of it. I could build a house from scratch. Everything but the foundation. Give me that and I'm good to go. My specialty was interior. Doors, windows, fancy moldings, custom wood work, floors, marble, tile, fireplace mantles with all the fancy shit, etc. There were breaks because of music, but I did it for long enough to learn it all. Pretty much like anybody who did it long enough.

Start working with hand tools. You would crush those bottles like a tin can. Mrs B had an uncle who was a pain in the ass. When he would shake your hand he would squeeze really hard. It didn't bother me, but I used to be able to crush game controllers if I got pissed, my hand strength from years of tools was bordering on freakish. One day her uncle went to shake my hand, after years of me putting up with his stunt and I felt him squeezing and I said fuuuck it, and I clamped down, and I saw his knees buckle. He never did it again after that, he got the message. I will crush your bones. Seriously though, they have these little gadgets to build hand strength that work good. You should look into it.

299 Yes Bers, I've been doing less of turning wrenches, and more of everything else lately...

I was " " "diagnosed" " " by the factory ~~quack~~ nurse as having *tendonitis, due to smoking* but it really was carpal tunnel, due to repetitive motion. Never had the corrective surgery.

Whatever. It got better when I spent more time running the packaging machine than Working The Line.

I still get cramps and tingles from elbows on down, if doing something that requires hard gripping for very long. About 1/2 hour is max, doing any one thing.

301 I have a pair of those big squeezy-spring hand strengtheners. Really aggravated the forearm pain, so don't use them any more.

Have wrist braces that I used to wear at night, to keep from waking up at odd hours with that weird mix of pain & numbness that would plague me.

Should've got the surgery while I had decent medical coverage.

I get that too. Sometimes if my posture is wrong and my wrist is bent too much my hand goes numb when playing the guitar, and it feels twice the size, and then it just goes to shit. Its a little worrying. Sometimes its in the shoulder, sometimes the elbow. Its probably from me sitting most of the time with it when the vast amount of my life was spent standing with a strap. If I grab a classical guitar my shoulder starts singing because its a deep body and my arm is not where it normally is with an electric. But yeah I definitely have some small degree of carpal tunnel probably.

308 The hand numbness is especially frustrating when I'm *in the middle of* doing something. Like: when trying to install the transmission cooling line fitting to the trans, while lying under my old truck! Everything was slick with Type F, could barely hold the wrench anyway... reaching overhead and past/between a bunch of other shit... couldn't see thru the scratched-up old safety glasses... my hand and forearm going numb... poor lighting, couldn't *feel*

Very possible, because they are a bit hammered. I can't sleep on my right side. It lasts a few minutes and my shoulder goes nuts. there are time where the left one like to have its turn. I don't have any range of motion issues, but the shoulders aren't great. I think that might have happened from years of swinging a hammer, mostly up high like when nailing sheetrock to a ceiling before screw guns became popular.

312 I don't have any problems working on the bikes. My hands never give me problems. There are times though, like trying to start a nut in a tight spot for awhile they start to go numb, but its rare. Again, it could be wrist position. Some areas on a harley can be a bastard to get in, and my hands aren't small, so I got good with dexterity, but in small areas its a bitch.

I always watched my hands like a hawk because of guitar. Never really considered the shoulders though. My shoulders start to hurt when assembling the crank on a harley engine. You have to install a big timken bearing on the one shaft, and it has to go down about 3 inches, and its a press fit, but you can't use a press, so the tool threads on the end of the shaft and then you need a 1/2 drive ratchet to turn a big socket on the tool that pulls the bearing down. Its a shit load of turns and its a press fit. The jig to hold the flywheels steady is in a vice, and by the time the flywheels are standing up in it the ratchet ends up above your shoulders. By the time I'm done I feel it in the shoulder. Sometimes I'll stand on a small step stool.

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home.

They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️ pic.twitter.com/H5VB9BQkGB
— 𝕐o̴g̴ (@Yoda4ever) March 23, 2026

A group of seven dogs bravely returned home to their owners in a near-ten-mile trek after being stolen, Dextero reports.
A viral video shows the pack, which includes Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Corgis, walking along the Changchun Highway in the province of Changchun, Jilin in China. According to South China Morning Post, the video has been viewed more than 230 million times, and shows the dogs fleeing along the busy road. The pets were allegedly stolen by thieves working at a dog meat shop.
On March 16, a witness, named Lu, recorded the pack and tried to lead them to safety, but was ignored. The dogs, including one who had an injured leg, were shown following a Corgi, who occasionally looked back to ensure that no one went astray.
"They resemble a band of little brothers in distress, moving in unison -- nothing like stray dogs," Lu told Dahe Daily.

Sounds cute, but in addition to AI slop, one kind of fake story I see on Twitter is where they take real video but just completely invent a fake but poignant narrative to go along with it. Like a video will say "He saved this baby turtle, and later, it saved his life," and then they just assemble bits and pieces of different videos about different turtles culminating with the turtle calling 911. And they don't show the turtle dialing 911. They just tell you this happened.

I would not believe it. The propaganda media are running Iranian ops against us. They are running lies straight from the Iranian occupational government to demoralize us and leave them in power. The "American" media know this, but they run the claims anyway because both Iran and the media want to defeat Trump (and America).

Yak Man never captured the public's attention for some reason.

Their attempt to recast and rebrand him as a heroic and incredibly verbose warrior living in the 800s (A.D.) failed, as well.

Thank you so much. And in keeping with the pet thread, I have to tell you about the cat invasion.

My friends' outdoor cats have stayed here when it's been really cold. Snowflake is friends with Ralphy. She also has amassed great intelligence about the layout of the house and our routines.

Since I'm now carrying Ralphy in and out to the washroom, she is using this opportunity to use the open doors to come inside. Which is fine. She's welcome here.

I've had Ralphy on the bed. They've both been on the bed before but Snowflake must know something happened. She's been licking and grooming Ralphy and falling asleep on him. Too adorable.

It's still snowing here but I'll get her flea medication when it warms up. I don't give her any food but she likes to rest here in the afternoon.

72 I remember one of my first big boyscout camps where at the beginning everyone gets tested for swimming. Generally early in the morning the first real day. You jump in and swim a course and tread water for a while. Depending on how you do you are designated a blue, red, and white.

White meant you are allowed to swim in one quarter inch of water. Basically, you better stay dry. Red means you have to stay in the kiddie area that's 4' - 6' deep. Blue means, hey go wild pal and have fun. So we're all lined up ready to get in. Kids jump in and they're having major problems, crying and stuff. Pussies. So it gets my turn and I'm jumping in like an olympiad, I'll show them how a man swims! This water I was jumping into, five seconds ago, melted off a glacier, like that picture up top. We were up in the mountains.

Exactly freezing. I hadn't figured that all out before hitting the water. Chest seized and I just barely swam the course, flailing and thrashing like a spaz. I barely made blue, and turned blue by the end. It was the summer though and later swimming at a normal time like the afternoon was great fun.

119 Funny thing about ICE. They are already at every major airport . They have offices there. Every plane load of bananas or Chinese televisions has to meet with customs. I had a friend who owned dogs that they used to sniff for drugs in the cargo holds those planes at Detroit Metro. She worked with the federal customs officials. All ICE had to do was stroll down the concourse to get to their assigned post. Homan said today that they are simply there to help with the lines, supervise entries and exits so nobody decides to skip, and that frees up a few TSA agents still on the job to actually inspect backpacks and look at the metal detectors. Apparently TSA agents do go through a four month training program and ICE can’t simply replace them at the inspection areas.

Ate at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (had a gift card), where they just started enforcing their "dress code", which meant that I had to remove my hat, which was covering up my hair that is still growing back after chemo. And it is a really CUTE hat!

Daughter did take a picture of us under the Reno sign, but it was still light outside, so no neon effects.

After seeing Vegas - where we had a lot of fun - Reno was a bit of a letdown. I would go back to Vegas in a heartbeat; Reno, not so much.

As someone here insisted, we should understand the migrant's state of mind you see, what drove him to it, so we can properly deal with it. I can't believe the leftist progressive gabage I read on here sometimes.

161 I am guessing hell is way worse than any of us can imagine.
Hell is absolute separation from God.
Imagine eternity without hope. Lakes of fire, literal or not, describe something horrific.

Here, while life is often hard, even unbelievers experience common grace -- "The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike," Jesus said. And as long as there is breath there is the opportunity to repent and be saved.
But once you're dead, that's it. God's perfect judgment and then something we really cannot even begin to imagine, forever.
Human justice pales in comparison.

It's part of their "new" dress code. I could understand it for baseball caps, but once I remove the hat, it is pretty obvious that it is there for a reason. I assume if it had been a standard "chemo turban", they would have made an exception.

No biggie - I wasn't the one who had to look at my hair (such as it was) throughout dinner 😂😂😂

I will say, though, I have gotten more " I LOVE your hat!" comments than I ever expected to receive when I ordered it. It must be the jaunty red flower that makes people smile 😊💕. And I do look pretty cute in it!

198 Box turtles love to swim. I had 5 of them over a course of 20 years, now all released to the wild. Had a large pan about 3" deep and they would go in for an hour daily. The most fun they had was if you put worms or grubs in the water, they would hunt them all down. Unfortunately, they enjoyed crapping in the water too. Box turtles are very buoyant and good swimmers and if they live near a pond or stream, they will swim daily if it's warm enough.

From Deadline.

"EXCLUSIVE: After producing the 2024 Netflix docuseries Polo, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are revisiting the world in a scripted form. The streamer is developing a polo-themed drama, which the Sussexes are executive producing under their Netflix deal. It comes from the duo’s Archewell Productions and Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire.

Written by Francisca X. Hu (Peacock’s Teacup), the untitled project is an upstairs-downstairs drama set in the high-flying equestrian town of Wellington, FL, which revolves around the messy dynamics between two rival teams and the families that lead them."

I will soon be switching over to my "Summer Chemo Hat", which many people saw at the Texas MoMe last year - a cute straw number with a rolled brim and a scarf tied in a bow at the back. I also had a wig on at the MoMe, but my hair has grown back enough that I don't need to wear it right now.

I DO need a haircut, though, as some of my hair never fell out. I am currently sporting a lovely mullet 😂😂😂

I asked Grok.

Strongest Candidate: Crime Wave (1954, dir. André de Toth) This is a gritty, realistic LA-based police procedural/noir starring Sterling Hayden as a tough detective. There's a notable scene at Sawyer's Dog & Cat Hospital (a real Glendale pet hospital used as a location—still standing today under a different name). It involves a shady, alcoholic ex-con veterinarian (played by Jay Novello) who patches up wounded criminals on the side.

Single Whoopi Goldberg reveals she goes bar-hopping to fulfill her sexual needs

Whoopi Goldberg cheerfully confessed she bar hops as a way to fulfill her sexual needs.
On Wednesday's episode of "The View," Goldberg noted, "A woman wrote an article in Cosmopolitan, admitting that she fantasizes about being single even though she's in a very happy longterm relationship."
"She writes that sometimes, she finds herself missing the days of casual flings and bar-hopping," Goldberg continued as the audience giggled.
The "Ghost" actress then turned to her co-hosts for a reaction, to which Joy Behar responded, "Do you miss those days?"
Goldberg quipped, "I am single," adding, "Yeah, I bar hop, I go hang! And I do hit and runs when I need it."

I envision her working off her crusty undies with e Dremel tool and a chain-cutter.

From last month: Gen Z is officially the first generation in American history to be dumber than the last.

Why post something from last month? Gen Z has been annoying me too.

The generation born between 1997 and 2010 is the very first generation who did worse in school than the generation before them, according to a top neuroscientist.
And shockingly, they are proud of it.
"They're the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it," Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, 43, told The Post. "And to make matters worse, most of these young people are overconfident about how smart they are. The smarter people think they are, the dumber they actually are.

No way!

"They underperformed on basically every cognitive measure, from basic attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function and general IQ."
Horvath recently testified to the sad facts before Congress, telling a panel of lawmakers that Generation Zers, who followed the Millenial generation, blew up humanity's proud academic record -- the wrong way.
So what happened that caused an entire age group to bomb test scores?

What caused them to become a generation of retards?

Well, the left's covid school shutdowns was part of it.

The other part of it is what's making us all stupid: Constant low-cognitive-demand/high-domamine-spiking scrolling on phones.

Horvath, who studied reams of data from standardized academic tests, told Congress that Z's struggles stem from the fact that they're the first generation to grow up with constant screen time. And it's no substitute for real learning.
"More than half of the time a teenager is awake, half of it is spent staring at a screen," said Horvath, who's taught at universities around the world, including Harvard and the University of Melbourne in Australia. "Humans are biologically programmed to learn from other humans and from deep study, not flipping through screens for bullet point summaries."
...
And it's not just happening in the US.
"Across 80 countries, if you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly," said Horvath, who is also founder of LME Global, a Arizona-based group that bridges research and classroom practices to improve academic outcomes.

From State of the Day, which uses this fact as a jumping off point to discuss how AI is going to put a lot of people out of work, but especially women in corporate make-work jobs.

Far-right Trump News Channel CBS (according to nonpartisan Scott McFarlane of "MeidasTouch"):

State records show 89 hospice companies at one Los Angeles office plaza. We went to look for ourselves.
The Merabi Professional Medical Plaza, a three-story, 32,000 square foot stucco and glass office building in Los Angeles, is home to a salon, a law office, a modeling agency, a realty corporation and, also, 89 licensed hospice companies.
Patient advocate Sheila Clark, who has worked to expose allegations of widespread Medicare fraud in the hospice industry, calls this building "ground zero" for the issue.
"This particular building I noticed, I'm like, 'dang, how can there be that many licensed and certified hospices in this tiny little building?,'" Clark said.
The building is among the most extreme cases of what's known as "clustering" to turn up in a sweeping CBS News investigation -- a grouping of large numbers of hospice offices that state auditors consider a major red flag for potential fraud.
The Van Nuys address for Merabi Plaza appears dozens of times in state records for licensed hospice companies. Inside the building's entry hall, a directory lists numerous hospice agencies that line the long tiled hallways, although the building's owner claims many are no longer there.
Clark said it makes "no sense" to find so many licensed and certified hospice company offices operating inside a single building. Auditors said the clustering of so many firms raised concerns because it suggests that "the number of agencies in these areas likely exceeds the number of patients who need services."
Concerns about clustering appear in a 2022 California State Auditor's report, which found that Los Angeles County had experienced a 1,500% increase in hospice companies countywide since 2010. That's six times more hospice providers than the national average, relative to the county's elderly population.
Auditors said other warning signs for potential fraud included multiple hospices in one building, geographic clustering, low patient counts, high rates of terminally ill patients later discharged alive, excessive billing and staff shared across multiple companies.

CBS News found that 72 of the 89 registered hospices in Merabi Plaza have at least three of those six potential warning signs.

LA Daily News:

15 hospices incorporated in a single day, in a single suite in Van Nuys

'It's not normal. None of this is normal,' said the CEO of a hospice trade association who has warned of fraud risks in LA for years
A group operating out of a Friar Street office building in Van Nuys that advertises "virtual offices" incorporated 22 hospices and home care agencies in one year, including 15 hospices registered in one day to a single suite, according to an investigation by the Southern California News Group.
The 15 hospices, all formed in "Suite 205" at 14545 Friar St., later collected $12.3 million from Medicare and Medi-Cal billings in 2023 and 2024, records showed.
Each had the equivalent of one full-time employee at the time.
While operating out of the same building is permitted, hospices cannot use the same office, according to Sheila Clark, the president and CEO of California Hospice and Palliative Care Association.
"You cannot co-locate with another provider," she said.

However, these hospices seemingly bypassed that limitation by appending letters from "A" to "P" onto the suite number in official documentation. Suites in the building, however, have only one to three rooms and leases specifically prohibit subdivision of those spaces, according to the property owner, Kambiz Merabi.
Yet Merabi's website advertises "virtual offices" that give you a "physical business address and office number for your business cards, website, email and registering a new company." Mentions of that service were scrubbed from his Instagram page as of Friday, but remained on other accounts.

One post specifically advertised to industries needing an address to "obtain licenses."
"For just $99 per month, you receive 2 hours of private office or conference room usage each month; a professional office address with an actual suite number -- not a P.O. Box; mail and package reception; your business listed on our digital directory and within the building's directory," the post read. "For industries needing a California or Los Angeles presence to obtain licenses, a suite at the prestigious Merabi Professional Medical Plaza Building provides more than just an address -- it offers a full-service business center hub with many perks and services for businesses like yours."

This is how the daycare fraud works:
- “You watch my kid, I’ll watch yours”
- Enroll these kids into “daycares”
- Collect money from the government
- You and your family then get to live off government subsidies

Here's a little good news: A foreign pirate who was imprudently granted citizenship, and then defrauded the people of the US for millions, has been denaturalized.

Let him be the first of millions.

Oh, I had not heard about this at all. It happened a couple of days ago, and what a development.
This began as a COVID-era fraud case, but what it ended up as should strike fear in the heart of every Somali Learing Center hustler and every Armenian hospice provider.
That naturalized citizenship is not the shield of steel one might have thought it was, or that it used to be back when no one paid attention to such things.
For the year between April 2020 and the next May, 25-year-old Joff Stenn Wroy Philossaint of Fort Lauderdale, FL, had himself a schweet little scheme going with COVID loan applications and all the various businesses he had registered in his name.
He and his partners in crime came into some serious cha-ching, courtesy of those very forgiving loan programs.
This is where it gets really interesting. Thanks to a quirk in immigration law, if you are in the middle of criminal activity when you apply for your citizenship, you can also be charged with submitting a fraudulent application.
ANYONE COME IMMEDIATELY TO MIND?
Haitian-born Philossaint was definitely up to no good in 2020 when he dropped his citizenship application papers, and, when the feds collared him in 2022 for the loans conspiracy charges, guess what else they hung on him?
Philossaint pled out on the conspiracy charges, and a federal jury nailed him on the fraudulent citizenship application.
...
That would have been the end of the story in most administrations, but not in this one. In February of this year, the Justice Department petitioned the court for an order revoking Philossaint's citizenship, and it was formally stripped yesterday.
How 'bout them apples?

Two *days* after I gave him a really simple two hour assignment with specific step by step instruction, he tried to schedule a "meeting" with me. Hadn't done a shred of it.

I didn't have the meeting, I just asked what he wanted. He said he wanted to ask if there was "an easier way". I said "is that what you wanted to meet about" and he said yes.

I ended up doing it myself. He's now in politics.

The ONT the other night had a pic of a kid who was asked to alphabetize some words, so he wrote each word using its letters in alphabetical order. He took a vague (to him) instruction and interpreted it the best way he knew how. I guarantee his teacher did not do examples in class, he/she'/xit did not create a lesson plan around this to show the kids what "alphabetical order" really means. The ways to teach this could easily fill up a 15-20 minute block for 5-7 year olds, AND you can do it so that it's fun. But that type of pedagogy isn't taught in education departments in colleges now, is it?

46 They underperformed on basically every cognitive measure, from basic attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function and general IQ.

'This has everything to do with the fact that each successive generation has a lower percentage of white people in it.

100 white Americans with one Somali kid in class, and your average can survive the inclusion of one retard.

20 white Americans with 20 Somali kids in class, the average can not survive the inclusion of a 50/50 retard blend.

It's not that difficult.

If you go to a predominately white, rural community, I'll think you'll find that intelligence performance hasn't fallen off in any significant fashion.

91 In reality Whoopie probably hangs out with a rando homeless guy by the bar. Why I don't comprehend.

I thought she said she was ghey. Is this to prove she's desirable? I need a study on this.

Her grey dreads always looked like dog poop that turned white. Or what my brother and I referred to as kids as "grandpa poop."

She looks like she smells to me, and this dred business is foul: they burn your hair. So you are basically standing in the shower and hoping your shampoo reaches through the burned hair knots. I guess. I would not know.

I would think you'd have to cut them off and start over to have real hair again.

Alternate take: He's being led to the evidence by investigators who want to condition the public for the coming indictments, which may involve powerful people.

So you show mountains of evidence, everyone gets worked up, and then (and only then) do you do something.

Otherwise you'll be call racist and stuff.

I'm more worried he will issue an Executive Order making each house with more than one bedroom a shelter for undocumented migrants. The Federal Migrant Housing Requirements Commission will determine how many migrants each homeowner must take-in. Based on number of rooms and total square feet. Number of bathrooms and number of current occupants will not be considered. FedGov will not pay you.
Homes owned by registered Democrats who contribute at least $500 per year to the DNC will be exempt.

"For just $99 per month, you receive 2 hours of private office or conference room usage each month; a professional office address with an actual suite number -- not a P.O. Box; mail and package reception; your business listed on our digital directory and within the building's directory," the post read. "For industries needing a California or Los Angeles presence to obtain licenses, a suite at the prestigious Merabi Professional Medical Plaza Building provides more than just an address -- it offers a full-service business center hub with many perks and services for businesses like yours."

She eats, smiles, smiles, smiles, talks to herself, smiles, tries to remove her grandfather's moustache, smiles. Puts herself to sleep talking an playing (I remove stuff after sleep). Thinks she turns on the fireplace while burping and staring at the fireplace (I let her think this and it is in the 60's today).

I have never known such a cheerful and easy baby, and I've known many. Plus she's beautiful and ours.

California hospices do not necessarily have to be incorporated in California, but they must be licensed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to operate within the state.
CDPH (.gov)

While a hospice can be incorporated in another state, it must still register to do business in California and comply with all California Health and Safety Codes and California Code of Regulations to operate as a, or in a, hospice agency.

To operate as a Hospice Agency in California, a state license is required.
As of January 1, 2022, a moratorium is in place (extended until 2027) that prohibits the CDPH from issuing new hospice licenses, regardless of where the entity is incorporated, unless specifically exempted.
Any entity providing hospice care must adhere to the standards of quality, staffing requirements, and administrative codes set forth by the California Department of Public Health.

So Cali. knows there's much f*** around/fraud, it seems.

I mean, I would actually pay to watch Harry and Megan sit and trash King Charles all day long, but that might strangely confer some dignity on him.

I got it: A show where Harry offers to do a DNA paternity test showing whether he is Charles’ son. This would be awesome, revealing Charles as a royal cuckold, and humiliating Harry because there is an absolute dollar amount he would accept to permanently separate himself from the royal family.

Supreme Court Appears Skeptical of Laws Permitting Blue States to Count Ballots That Arrive Days After the Actual Election

It's obviously just farming fake votes to steal elections in the unconstitutional overtime period.

And the Justices appear to believe that when the Constitution specifies an Election Day, it means AN Election DAY, not an election week or an election month or an unspecified election period allowing the printing of millions of fake ballots.

The Supreme Court 's conservative majority on Monday sounded skeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots, a persistent target of President Donald Trump.
A ruling, likely to come by late June, that bars counting ballots arriving after Election Day would send officials scrambling in 14 states and the District of Columbia, just a few months before the 2026 midterm congressional elections to change their ballot rules.
An additional 15 states that have more forgiving deadlines for ballots from military and overseas voters also could be affected.
The legal challenge is part of Trump's broader attack on most mail balloting, which he has said breeds fraud despite strong evidence to the contrary and years of experience in numerous states.

Unbelievable bias. This is the AP, of course.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 resulted from fraud even though more than 60 court decisions and his own attorney general said that argument had no merit.

1, that's all false, and 2, this has nothing to do with the actual legal question at hand, which is: When the Constitution speaks of an (singular) Election Day, do they mean it or were they just joshing?

It's amazing how leftwing communists routinely invent words and penumbras that don't appear in the Constitution, but, when faced with the Constitution's actual words, claim "Oh that doesn't matter, that's like 100 years old, man."

The court heard arguments in a case from Mississippi pitting the state against Trump's Republican administration and the Republican and Libertarian parties. At issue is whether federal law sets a single Election Day that requires ballots to be both cast by voters and received by state officials.
While there was no explicit reference to the 2020 election, several conservative justices gave voice to some of Trump's complaints. Justice Samuel Alito wondered about the appearance of fraud in situations where "a big stash of ballots" that arrive late "radically flipped" an election.
...
The court's liberal justices indicated they would uphold state laws with post-Election Day deadlines.

Of course the AP doesn't think that's at all politically motivated.

...
Paul Clement, representing the political parties, played on fears of fraud by invoking Democrat-dominated Chicago, infamous for election shenanigans. Voting ends at 8 p.m. in Chicago, Clement said, but state law allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received later.
A voter paying close attention to the election returns could in theory try to swing the election by submitting a mailed ballot to the post office after the polls were closed, he said.
"I am not here to say there could ever be voting fraud in Chicago," Clement said to laughter in the courtroom.

🚨 BREAKING: SCOTUS Justice Sam Alito just DROPPED THE MIC on liberals who want us to receive endless mail-in ballots after election *day*

68 As I said this morning, it will be a 6-3 opinion.

Under Bost v. Illinois, a candidate has standing to sue to challenge election law that allowed counting of ballots after Election day.
Overturning lower courts that had said a candidate had to show monetary harm to challenge the law, holding specifically that even the speculation of having to retain staff to potentially contest those ballots was enough to overcome that rule.
They also overturned the rule that judges were using to dodge R challenges, that--without allowing evidence--the judge would divine that the outcome would not be changed and deny standing.

Further, Bost said candidates have an interest in a fair election and a final outcome of the election.

I posit they would not have granted standing if there were 5 votes to say the post-election day counting law was constitutional.
There are not.
Or, to put it another way, if 5 days after are legal, why not 5 years?
ACB wanted to chart a "middle ground" in Bost, but still joined the majority.
She will likely try again with some stupid shit like trying to keep existing law but that's as far as allowed. She'll be a vote of 1 on that.

97 You can request an absentee ballot months in advance.
And receive it well over a month before Election Day.

But somehow, we must make all accommodations and allowances for those who choose to wait until the very last moment to mail it in.
And indulge this myth that their intentional delay was caused by some sort of careful consideration of the candidates.

All these lies they stack up to dance around the fact that the whole edifice is to promote and enable fraud.
In a way almost perfectly designed to prevent the detection of that fraud.
So they can then claim there is no fraud.

BTW my theory on that is they are taking real votes from blue strongholds and shoving them in trunks and trays and replacing them with fake votes on election day.

Since the fake votes are 100-0 but show up in 80-20 districts no one notices. And then if they need the saved ballots they are in fact real so no one can claim they are fakes...

One of the claims being made by GA election officials was that the electronic voting machines couldn't be hacked because they were even connected to the internet. The election expert took out his laptop and in about 10 seconds he connected to one of the election machines via the internet.

No, no country has the "right to exist". History is replete with counties that no longer exist.

You either continue to exist through your ability to defend yourself or you don't.

132 Here, Grok found it...

The incident you're likely thinking of is the Battle of Athens (also known as the McMinn County War) in 1946 in McMinn County, Tennessee.

What Happened

Local elections had long been controlled by a corrupt political machine led by Sheriff Paul Cantrell and his allies. They were accused of widespread voter intimidation, ballot stuffing, fraud, and rigging elections for years.

On Election Day (August 1, 1946), the machine's deputies allegedly intimidated voters, beat poll watchers, and even shot at least one man trying to vote. They seized ballot boxes and took them to the county jail to "count" them in secret.

A group of WWII veterans (many just returned from the war) who had been monitoring the polls demanded access to the ballots. When refused and threatened, one veteran reportedly shouted something like: "Get the hell out of here and get something to shoot with. And come back as fast as you can."

Posted by: Tom Servo at March 23, 2026 05:55 PM (QkvGw)

139 Hundreds of armed veterans (using guns, rifles, and even dynamite from a local supply) surrounded the jail. A firefight broke out overnight. The veterans eventually used explosives to breach the building, overpowered the deputies, seized the ballot boxes, and ensured a fair count. The machine's candidates were defeated in the recount.

No one was seriously injured in the final tally (though there were wounds on both sides), and the veterans' actions were widely celebrated locally as restoring honest elections. Several participants later held public office.

This event is often cited as a rare historical example of citizens using armed force to counter what they saw as a stolen local election. It inspired the saying "The Battle of Athens" in discussions of election integrity and the right to resist tyranny.

156 requires ballots to be both cast by voters and received by state officials.

Because, legally speaking, the ballot isn't cast until it's received. Until it's received it's just a wish in the air. There's a reason "Check's in the mail" was a bogus answer.

161 We should, at some point, accept the overwhelming evidence that humans are not rational, logical beings able to dispassionately weigh facts and evidence toward a critically thought out position.

Another example of this - I have a lot of left leaning LIVs in my social circle.

They will complain endlessly about all the stupid things the government does in our blue area to make our lives worse. Then come election time they will vote the same people back into office. Because, you know, Republicans are NAZIs, or want to put black people in chains, or some similar shit they got from hearing a FNM headline.

162 No, no country has the "right to exist". History is replete with counties that no longer exist.

You either continue to exist through your ability to defend yourself or you don't.

Tucker usually asks the other side of that thought process, "If Israel has the right to exist, did Yugoslavia have the right to exist?"
Posted by: Conserving R at March 23, 2026 05:48 PM (9OT3N)

That's missing the point. If the answer truly is 'no', as in no country as a right to exist, then any and all means are legitimate to wipe it out. Yugoslavia didn't get invaded or conquered, it split apart. That's not a question of 'rights'.

Israel is (theology aside) more legitimate than almost any other nation because of the UN ruling on it being an independent homeland for the Jews. Very few countries have a global consensus on their formation and existence.

Recordkeeping is done by 3X5 notecards and when the state was forced to transfer information into databases, ambiguous birthdate information was converted to 1/1/1900 due to limitations in the 1980s era software. The state has only one auditor that was hired to comply with DEI programs and who has an unidentified disability which requires mass quantities of alcohol to alleviate and can only work half days from noon to happy hour. The state plans to review all birthdate anomalies by the 20th of Nevermber.

178 Asians tend to vote leftist as a bloc as well. When asked why, here's what a few said in response:

"If I had to guess I’d say it’s a lesser of two evils thing.

Sure, the left is bad on crime, but the right keeps saying I eat cats and should be deported and they want to take away my right to vote."

and

"Asians in the west tend to be liberal because

1) They're often from major cities - SF, LA, NY - all very liberal

2) They often attend elite schools, which are also overwhelmingly liberal

3) They have high institutional trust, which in the west is leftwing coded"

and

"Asians in general are obedient. Women of all nationalities are more obedient than men.

Liberalism is attractive to collectivists. Conservativism attracts individualists.

But they will also conform to things that are absolutely retarded as long as that's what everyone else is doing."

Probably some truth to all of it

Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, buy ammo at March 23, 2026 06:00 PM (xcxpd)

The vast majority of the UN has recognized the sovereignty of a Palestinian homeland as well.

The point of both Tucker and Walsh is well made. Defenders of Project Israel often point to institutions to gain legitimacy for their position, then are quickly dismissive of the same institutions when they voice opinions otherwise.

The bottom line is this, Israel exists because America says it does and Palestine does not exist because America says it doesn't. Kosovo is very similar. Lines are drawn and redrawn all the time because of force dynamics. Russia is presently in the process of proving that what was formerly know as Ukraine does not have the right to exist in its former fashion.

All those Arab kingdoms....created out of whole cloth when strong European nations decided to draw some lines. And just as those lines can be drawn, they can be erased.

ACB might try to do something stupid like say received 3 days after.
But, bc the challenged law is 5 days, and CA is however long until the Dem wins, even the 3 liberals won't join her.

Israel exists because they've fought for it, gained important allies, and kept it by defending their land for near eighty years.

The Palestinians have done nothing but whine, complain and bitch, and then maim and kill civilians for eight decades instead of building up the areas they occupy into thriving societies and economies.

243 Great news that Gosnell is dead and in hell! Another weekend I went loco was over him. Calling him a monster does not cut it. I was nearly physically ill reading about his murder clinic, right in the middle of a poor, black neighborhood. Eugenics dream of this says the ghost of Margaret Sanger.

I waded into WaPo to argue about him. At the time I could have a fake email and name. I pretended to be a French anthropologist, spewing facts about abortion, and even told the dummies the title of my study was "WaPo in the Mist."

I rattled off information about Gosnell and they were very polite, with me being French. I was laughing like a loon that rainy FL weekend afternoon. They were too afraid to offend me!

Another time, months prior, on my Benghazi rampage, I told them how wrong the column was and the replies would rise up like fire ants after stepping on their nest. I persisted. At one point, loaded with information they had never seen in the US press, and my timeline of events, one dimwit asked if I was CIA.

Then WaPo wanted a real email and name and ended my entertainment.

245 "A ruling, likely to come by late June, that bars counting ballots arriving after Election Day would send officials scrambling in 14 states and the District of Columbia, just a few months before the 2026 midterm congressional elections to change their ballot rules."

What about that situation would require officials to "scramble?" It should be easier. Just count the votes you get by the end of Election Day.

The only "scrambling" would be to make sure that you find another way to get those needed votes to count. And why would "officials" be concerned about that?

246 "gave voice to some of Trump's complaints."

Which are...obvious complaints. Seriously - nobody can see any possible downside to accepting ballots days and weeks after election day?

My state went with mail in balloting. Now we don't know the results for an election for a good week or so. We used to know night of who won. Somehow this is supposed to be "better".

Surprise! "Objective Journalist" Who Assails Bari Weiss's Normie Liberalism as Being Far Right Wing Quits CBS to Join a... Left-Wing Pro-Biden Propaganda PAC

It's weird how these people who all swore for years that they were nonpartisan straight shooters keep joining hard-left organizations.

Ex-CBS sissy Scott McFarlane is the latest.

He's joining a left-wing propaganda twitter account called "MeidasTouch." (You can tell it's a first-rate journalistic operation by the "punny" name.) I wish I could tell you more about them. They just post clickbait/ragebait headlines all day. I had no idea had any pretensions of being an actual news site. They just re-state whatever the cult meme of the day is.

McFarlane was "disillusioned" by the editorial direction Bari Weiss was taking CBS but he's very happy now to be working for Temu Jezebel.

CBS Alum Scott McFarlane Joining Left-Wing MediasTouch as Chief Washington Correspondent

Former CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane joins left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch as Chief Washington Correspondent and will anchor a daily program, Scott McFarlane Reports.
Former CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane revealed Monday that he will join the left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch, just weeks after abrupt exit from the network amid reports he had grown "disillusioned" under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss's leadership.
In a video posted Monday to X, MacFarlane confirmed the "good news" that MeidasTouch had brought him onto the platform as chief Washington correspondent and added that he will soon anchor a daily program, Scott McFarlane Reports, positioning himself at the center of the network's political coverage.
MacFarlane framed the move as a shift toward stripped-back reporting, saying MeidasTouch shares his approach of delivering news "straight to the point" and avoiding "production theater and the useless bells and whistles."

Yes, "straight to the point."

It's explicitly a propaganda organ of the Democrat Party, formed by allies of Joe Biden to pump out regime propaganda.

Brent Scher
@BrentScher
No, you don't get it. I'm not saying Meidas Touch is openly partisan -- it is literally a PAC. It was founded as a political operation during COVID to help Joe Biden.

Back to the article:

He stressed: "I'm not an opinionist, I'm an editorialist, I'm far from a politician. I'm an enterprise reporter and have been for a quarter of a century."
"This moment of unique political toxicity and unique political danger," MacFarlane continued, adding that he and the network share a commitment that "you don't platform lies, you don't platform conspiracy theories, and you don't allow for the whitewashing of history."

He says he shares their "north star" of reporting... pic.twitter.com/pGV1u3e9ML

It does explain how shows like Mr Beast can claim such vast numbers when, let's be honest: how many of you even know someone who watches his stuff? I know we're all old here but you have grandkids and stuff. Some of you will say yes, but he has the most popular channel on earth with BILLIONS of views. With that kind of coverage everyone should be familiar with or watch that show.

good point

when people in my space used them ten years ago (clients paid us for ad performance and this is how we cheated them) they were offshore

doing something like this in the US is pretty shocking. not a good sign.

"It was my first morning as an Uber driver, and everyone I picked up was Latino or South Asian and heading to work. My first three customers were schoolteachers. Then I dropped a young woman at a hospital and her mother at a grocery store that had yet to open. I brought a young man to a large auto mechanic’s garage, another to a Panera Bread chain restaurant, and a woman to the open back door of a strip-mall diner.

I made $130 in a little less than five hours. Since I’m 55 and have the bladder of a 3-year-old, I had to find a place to pee three times. “Welcome to Donald Trump’s America,” I muttered..."

160 Be careful playing Pickleball.
-----

Marketing Pickleball to older adults was always a *terrible* idea. The game essentially takes away the "safe" part of playing tennis--the moving from one shot to the next, and leaves ONLY the strenuous moves--the windup of the shot itself, the sudden lurch into motion to get back into position, and the slamming on of the brakes once one realizes the true direction of the incoming shot. Its a game almost entirely of jarring movements because the court isn't big enough to actually take more than a couple of steps without having to suddenely stop yet again.

It does explain how shows like Mr Beast can claim such vast numbers when, let's be honest: how many of you even know someone who watches his stuff? I know we're all old here but you have grandkids and stuff. Some of you will say yes, but he has the most popular channel on earth with BILLIONS of views. With that kind of coverage everyone should be familiar with or watch that show.

Not if every part of it is either stolen, or paid for with defrauded/stolen money. Every time you see something that doesn't make economic sense, up your mental estimate of how much of the economy is money laundering, and how much of the rest is organized crime in need of money laundering. I think most of Europe and the Anglosphere is approaching Oops Killed The Host levels of parasitism, judging by their persistent military ineptitude while claiming the world's on fire and they take it very seriously. Either they don't take it seriously, or they *can't* do anything about it, and the latter would help explain their supine submission to lightly-armed barbarian invasion.

From Deadline.

There will be no third season for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The latest installment in the Star Trek franchise will end with the upcoming second season, Deadline has confirmed.

“We’re incredibly proud of the ambition, passion, and creativity that went into bringing Star Trek: Starfleet Academy to life,” CBS Studios and Paramount+ said in a joint statement. “The series introduced audiences to a bold new group of characters, welcomed familiar faces, and expanded the Star Trek universe in exciting new ways."

I did see about 3 minutes. First thoughts. Starfleet Academy doesn't have fitness requirements or beauty standards.

CBS caught lying:

1971 - CBS News secretly funds an attempt to overthrow Haitian dictator Francois Duvalier in order to shoot the invasion for a television documentary

1980 - 60 Minutes warns that Jeep CJ-5 has a high rollover danger, later it is revealed that testers only logged eight rollovers out of 435 runs and had hung weights on the sides of the Jeep, not visible on camera.

1986 - 60 Minutes reports that Audi 500s are prone to sudden uncontrollable acelleration. Later a disclosed he had fiddled with the sedan’s transmission and a study showed that almost all examples were driver error.

1991 - 60 minutes runs a piece on "Father of self-help" Werner Erhard in which his daughter accused him of tax fraud molesting her. She later admits that she’d been offered a financial incentive to make the allegations and the IRS retracted its claims and paid a settlement to Ehrhard.

1998 - 60 Minutes runs a piece on a memo claiming that Immigrations officials aided in drug smuggling from Mexico, which was later determined to be fake.

2004 - RaTHergate

2012 - Steve Kroft, co-editor of 60 Minutes, interviewed Barack Obama immediately following the noted Rose Garden press conference held in response to the 2012 Benghazi attack. CBS withheld significant parts of the interview that confirm the President's refusal to acknowledge the attack as a confirmed act of terror

2013 - an ex-security officer named Dylan Davies, who claimed to have raced to the scene and engaged attackers during the attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi. Davies gave a different account to the FBI, and CBS News had to issue a retraction.

2017 - when a retarded black man is held and tortured to death, CBS implies that it was done white Trump supporters by not identifying the race of the torturers, mentioning that the "N word" was used repeatedly, and Trump was mentioned several times.

2020 - CBS runs footage of of a hospital in Bergamo, Italy aired three days earlier by Sky News, claiming it showed chaos in New York City hospitals.

On February 28, 2015, Cox announced in an article in the Daily Beast that she is a Christian.[33]

On December 27, 2016, in honor of Carrie Fisher's death, Cox confirmed via Twitter that she has bipolar disorder.[34]

In a 2017 Sports Illustrated article, Cox revealed she has been sober since 2011.[35]

Cox has written that she is a “survivor of sexual assault”.[36]

He says he owned a home in Canada, but now he's getting help from his octogenarian father so his kids can live with him (Italian wife is still in Italy, fearing to come to the States because she might be deported). So he must have depleted his proceeds from the house.

I think that guy is doomed unless his father dies and leaves him something he can start a business with. An Airbnb or something like that.

He used to, back in the day. He was always scooping Lois Lane on stories because he'd be there as Superman saving the day, they fly back and type up the story of Superman saving the day at super speed. Kinda cheating really.

They don't do much of that any more. Last I heard, Lois and Clark are podcasters but I haven't read Superman since the John Byrne Man of Steel reboot.

America's Oldest Skankbeast Taylor Lorenz: Lefties Traveling to Cuba to Boost the Failing Communist Tyranny Are Not Serious People

Yes she said that but... well, you'll see. Hang on, we'll get there.

Lefties are taking "revolutionary vacations," living like kings in the dying communist tyranny while the people go without fuel and electricity.

Marjorie Taylor-Greene's bestie Medea Benjamin of Code Pink organized the support-the-tyrants tour.

Far-left activists stay in 5-star Cuban hotel as island suffers total blackout
Cuba suffered mass power outages throughout the weekend as activists filmed for social media

Far-left activist groups and personalities flocked to Havana, Cuba, this week in an effort to protest the economic sanctions imposed on the country by President Donald Trump's administration.
The far-left group CodePink sponsored flights to the communist-led island, and the group was joined by Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, an ally of democratic socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The group has faced heavy backlash for staying in expensive hotels to meet with government officials even as Cuban residents go without electricity.

Some delegates in the "Nuestra America Convoy," including Piker, were staying at the 5-star Gran Hotel Bristol Meliá Collection and similar resorts. Piker defended the move on social media, saying U.S. law required that they stay at the ritzy hotels.

LOL, sure.

"The American government makes it illegal for Americans to stay wherever they want when they're in Cuba," Piker told his followers. "They have to stay in what they've declared as 5-star hotels."
The claim received swift pushback on social media, with an X Community Note saying that U.S. law only prevents Americans from staying at venues owned by the Cuban government or its officials.
CodePink says it delivered thousands of pounds of aid to Cuba as part of the trip, which was organized by Cuban politician Mariela Castro and a nonprofit called Progressive International, according to the New York Post.

"Thousands of pounds of aid" = thousands of pounds of water and rice with a total value of a couple thousand dollars.

The group's arrival to Cuba, and subsequent flood of social media videos, came the same weekend that The Cuban Electric Union announced a total blackout across the island on Saturday.

She says we are in "year six" of the pandemic.

It’s really so easy to not infect and kill ppl around you. No one is saying u have to be perfect, but if you respond to disabled ppl asking you not to kill/maim them and other vulnerable folks by having a meltdown instead of showing basic solidarity, you are not a serious person
— Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) March 22, 2026

I'm sure they'll be guests on Tucker Carlson this week.

As far-left American activists flood Cuba to support its flailing communist regime, U.S. officials have opened a sprawling investigation into an anti-America, pro-China nonprofit network forged during a wedding celebration in late February 2017, off Runaway Bay on Jamaica's northern coast.
There, beneath a canopy of palm trees, an elite cadre of activists, intellectuals, celebrities, political organizers and comrades in a global Marxist-Leninist-Maoist movement assembled to celebrate the "Revolutionary Love" of two luminaries, both 62 at the time: Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon living in Shanghai, and Jodie Evans, a red-haired veteran activist and co-founder of CodePink Women for Peace.
Like the opening scene of "The Godfather," where powerful families consolidate power, the wedding celebration was about much more than the union of two people.
Over four days of dancing, lectures and late-night conversations in venues from the Flavor Beach Bar to Sharkey's Seafood, celebrating the bond of "Roy and Jodie," alliances were formed that would shape protests, unrest and political agitation over the next decade, from the fiery 2020 scenes in Minneapolis to demonstrations today supporting the regimes in Cuba and Iran.
That weekend, Vijay Prashad, an academic described in the official wedding itinerary as a "Marxist intellectual," spoke on a panel, "The Future of the Left." Medea Benjamin, Evans' friend and CodePink co-founder, danced barefoot at the wedding in a bright Indian outfit.
According to sources, the wedding attendees invoked the teachings of Mao Zedong, the 20th century Chinese Communist Party leader who ruled China with an iron fist, inspired by Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, and they discussed how to mobilize the masses to wage a Maoist "People's War."
"The revolutionary war is a war of the masses," Mao said in 1934.
Many were themselves relics of the Cold War, growing up before the Soviet Union was dismantled in 1989.
A monthslong Fox News Digital investigation pinpoints the Jamaica wedding as a starting point for launching a network of organizations that is today waging a new "People's War" on America, aligned with the Chinese Communist Party's geopolitical ambitions to eclipse the U.S. as a superpower through economic programs like the "Belt and Road" initiative, realizing the vision of China's ideological godfather, Mao, through trade partnerships, economic deals and pro-China propaganda.
National security experts call it cognitive warfare.
Over almost a decade, Fox News Digital has learned, Singham and Evans have activated a global network that now numbers an estimated 2,000 hard-left organizations that parrot anti-U.S. propaganda supporting autocratic regimes leading China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela and Gaza. Within activist circles, far-left critics refer to leftists who align with authoritarian regimes as "tankies." Many groups and leaders from Singham's network, including Evans and Benjamin, are part of the pro-communist convoy now in Cuba.
Fox News Digital has established a documented $278 million that flowed from Singham into organizations that "sow discord" in the U.S. as House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith put it recently at a hearing on foreign malign influence in the nonprofit industry.
According to the data, Singham created a base from which the U.S. is now one of the world's most prolific exporters of radical pro-China communist ideology. Singham and Evans didn't respond to requests for comment.

43 Cindy Sheehan is an interesting case.

Prior to Obama's elections he was a media celebrity.

She was warned to stop protesting after Obama won though and she refused. So Obama had her arrested.

The last I traced her she had written an article, which the FNM ignored, that Democrats were worse then Republicans because the former lied about what they valued.

Cuba was the funding and training for the South American revolutionaries from the 50's to the 70's, the one that Plan Condor was developed to stop.

70 The visuals they shared are jaw-dropping. Them in a bus looking at the poors. Them painting a mural on the wall for peace. Them at a concert no Cubans can get into, using power for that instead of the hospital. Them at a "five star" (I mean, for Cuba) hotel with lights and power, as every other building around is blacked out. There's even footage of Dog Shocker offering little kids cookies if they dance for him on camera.

It was a non-stop influencer fest at the expense of the Cuban people and, if reports are true, several people died in the hospital because the power was used for their concert.

Also, Cuba is communism done right, it's just that Americans won't trade with them to help them rise out of the 1950s. It's capitalists' fault that communism isn't modern. Also, it's great that Cuba is stuck in the 1950s and dirt poor without consistent electricity. That makes them closer to the noble savage."

Until then, we must employ those best trained and best suited to the role of controlling the economy.

Thank you, Taylor, for being an ally in this trying time /s
Whenever someone says that white privilege exists, I point to her.

Taylor sucks, but there's nothing wrong with that part of her comment. Impoverished countries and communities, in general, are going to be less able to absorb the shock of a disease outbreak.

One thing Cuba absolutely does better than the US is healthcare. (The bar is in hell here.) Far more Cubans are fully vaccinated for Covid than Americans. This is the Ugliest American of takes.

a lot of Cubans have family in the US sending remittances to them to survive economically. This is now mostly money, that has to go through the Cuban state bank where a large fraction is raked off, and is a major revenue source for the Cuban state.
In the past it was legal to bring in a certain amount of goods as well that were unobtainable in Cuba, but could be picked up cheap in Miami.
They know some of what they are missing, and that there is more than they can think of. The videos of newly arrived Cubans going to markets is heart breaking. Cuba has been destroyed to shore up the Castro family and their toadies, and they spend money to convince foreigners that this is the way to power and money.

Cuba’s power grid collapses in third nationwide blackout amid US oil blockade

Network breakdowns compounded by daily blackouts of up to 12 hours caused by fuel shortages

Cuba’s power grid collapsed on Saturday leaving the country without electricity for a third time in March as the communist government battles with a decaying infrastructure and a US-imposed oil blockade.

The Cuban Electric Union, which reports to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, announced a total blackout across the island without initially giving a cause for the outage.

The union later said the blackout was caused by an unexpected failure of a generating unit at the thermoelectric plant in Camagüey province.

Where the SAVE act could have actual teeth is when new registrations happen. Required verification that doesn't happen because local registration systems are corrupt?

Open to federal legal action headed by USAs and backed by the full force of the DOJ.

Combine that with the Civil Rights' division's efforts to clean up voter rolls of dead, duplicate, and illegal registrants, and you've got a whole new ballgame.

I thought that was amusing, since Republicans did exactly that about 10 years ago. Joe Miller was the official GOP candidate - A Tea Party favorite. Murky didn't miss a beat, she ran as an Independent - Write In candidate. The Dems immediately dumped THEIR official candidate and ordered the party faithful to write-in their vote for Murky. Mitch, of course, funneled money to the Murky campaign, then forgot that Miller ever existed. He pushed her into the Senate, where they have been lovebirds ever since.

260 a lot of Cubans have family in the US sending remittances to them to survive economically. This is now mostly money, that has to go through the Cuban state bank where a large fraction is raked off, and is a major revenue source for the Cuban state.
In the past it was legal to bring in a certain amount of goods as well that were unobtainable in Cuba, but could be picked up cheap in Miami.
They know some of what they are missing, and that there is more than they can think of. The videos of newly arrived Cubans going to markets is heart breaking. Cuba has been destroyed to shore up the Castro family and their toadies, and they spend money to convince foreigners that this is the way to power and money.

272 I thought Code Pink was wimmen's studies,abortion bragging and marching pink puthy hats plus vagina parades.

I freely admit I can't keep up with protests since Trayvon. I did pay Pretti Good attention to the Somilian fraud ICE epidemic.

I am an incredibly busy person who relies on Ace for my news. So busy that at the end of the day I accomplish mostly nothing.

One has to assume at this point MTG would appear with the "National Hobo League of Indigenous Nations to Stop Condoms for the Prevention of Smallpox" to get her photo in the news.

Granted, I've seen pocked asphalt after a flood or lava look smoother than her face. Plus, I should write her that as we age our noses get bigger. Her potato nose will soon need its own passport.

I am actually going to be busy for the rest of the day, so I hope MTG is in Cuber and that sonic thing accidently goes off when she flips a switch. Her nose could produce a gusher.

I'd prefer Cuba not have to endure these idiots after all they've had to deal with in my lifetime. I'd prefer to have them swan in to El Salvador.

Lefties from Berkeley and other hard-left enclaves have been organizing and going on these 'communist tourism" activist vacations to Cuba multiple times per year for decades. And it's not just Code Pink. There ar3 several groups that have standrd ongoing tours. Heck, even Barbara Lee, former Berkeley/Oakland congressperson and now Mayor of Oakland, helped to organize them and go on these "Vinceremos Brigade" tours. It's just what old East Bay lefties do as their standard vacations, like other people go to Club Med or a Carnival Cruise. And yes, they alwasy all stay in 5-star hotels and take iPhone picture of quaint poor people and then get tours organ ize by the Cuban Communist Party to collective farms, and so forth. And yes, they have always fetishized the noble Savage poor Cubans and treated them like an Instagram photo op.

But now that Trump's sanctions are having real effects, the world is finally noticing this type f tourism, and laughing at it, deservedly so. But it is not new or a one-time thing. It's an industry

California's Tax Raiders Are Now Digging Through Retired Contractors' Old Receipts

A retired California contractor just received a nasty surprise from the state: a demand to hand over three full years of purchase records so bureaucrats can hunt for unpaid "use tax" on materials he bought years ago.

In a raw video that's making the rounds, the man—who ran a remodeling business for over a decade before selling it—lays out his frustration plain and simple.

"I ran a business in California for over ten years remodeling manufactured homes. I sold the company probably, uh, three, four years ago. Now I get this letter from the California Department of Taxation and Fee Administration—demanding that I provide three years of all my ledgers, all my records, so they can audit me for something called 'use tax.' I've never even heard of use tax."

He explains that everything he ever bought for the job was purchased at retail, with sales tax already paid. No wholesale exemptions, no tax dodging.

"Everything we buy, we pay retail, we pay sales tax on it. We don't charge our customers sales tax—we're not collecting it, we're paying it."

329 Then comes the core outrage:

"So what authority does your agency even have to ask me to go through my records for the past three fucking years and send them to you so you can browse through it and try to find fucking money to cover the debt? The fucking state of California… This is how broke they are. They're coming after people like me who already paid every damn tax they could squeeze out of us. It's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous."

The video captures a growing sentiment: California's massive budget shortfalls have turned the tax man into a retroactive hunter, combing through old receipts of small business owners and retirees long after they've closed shop. For many, it's less about unpaid taxes and more about a government so deep in the red it's willing to shake down anyone it can reach.

He HAD been cleared to cross the runway, AFTER the jet was cleared to land on it. Then the tower told him to stop once he realized the danger, but the truck didn't, for whatever reason.

Looks like a very overworked controller, already dealing with another ground emergency, missed his mistake, but I don't blame him much here. The accident investigation will be agonizing for everyone involved.

...............................
I make a Cuban Black Bean recipe that's vegetarian (so ok for Lenten Fridays). No hamhock (normally the way I make any beans for rice), and it's really good. Supposedly authentic. The "sofrito" is what is sublime in an otherwise plain recipe.

Also have a pinto bean recipe with no meat that's good (supposedly American Indian). With chutney and honey.

There's a retaurant in old Tampa, Ybor City, called The Columbia. Beautiful place since 1905 and great food. Our eldest son, during his college tour years, lived in Tampa and we'd always go there.

Like his mother he enjoyed trying different universities without a care in the world. I was so enraged with him half the time I did not connect the dots that this might be genetic.

Commander Yvonne Gray, the commanding officer of the HMNZS Manawanui, has been charged with negligence over the sinking of the ship off Samoa in October 2024. She faces two alternate charges: negligently permitting a ship to be lost by being absent from the bridge while within one nautical mile of a known reef, and failing to perform a duty in ensuring an appropriate risk management plan for survey work in uncharted waters near reefs.

California's Tax Raiders Are Now Digging Through Retired Contractors' Old Receipts

A retired California contractor just received a nasty surprise from the state: a demand to hand over three full years of purchase records so bureaucrats can hunt for unpaid "use tax" on materials he bought years ago.
***
My parents had a condo in Palm Desert, California. They were scrupulous about tracking their time there to make sure they complied with the law and could not be considered California residents. When my dad died, my mom sold the condo, and California spent about 4 years hounding her for records of their visits, sales price, gains, etc. Because my parents are honest above all and record-keepers extraordinaire, California eventually wound up owing my mom some money. Suck it, California! The state is a pit bull; they never want to let a possible money-meal go.

The Party of Illegal Alien Gangsters and Third World Pirates Claims Another Innocent Life

An illegal alien who was repeatedly let out of jail for crimes by Democrats, and who was never deported due to Obama-Biden open borders policies, murdered an innocent 18-year-old college student.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
23h
BREAKING: DHS confirms that the suspect in custody for murdering Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman in Chicago is a Venezuelan illegal alien who was caught & released at the border by the Biden administration in May 2023. DHS says he was also released from local custody after a shoplifting arrest in the sanctuary city of Chicago on June 19, 2023.
DHS identifies the suspect as Venezuelan national Jose Medina-Medina. Medina-Medina is accused of approaching Gorman while she was walking in a park with friends early Thursday morning.
DHS says Medina-Medina came up to her while wearing a mask and armed with a gun. As she attempted to flee, he fired his gun and shot her. Gorman was shot and pronounced dead at the scene.
DHS statement:
"Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "We are calling on Governor Pritzker and Chicago's sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods."

Chicago's mayor and Illinois' governor have not agreed to turn him over to ICE this time.

Homeland Security
@DHSgov
20h
We have lodged an arrest detainer requesting sanctuary politicians NOT release Jose Medina-Medina, a Venezuelan criminal illegal alien arrested for killing 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman in Chicago, Illinois.
Medina-Medina shot and killed Gorman Thursday morning while she was walking in a park with friends. Medina-Medina approached her while wearing a mask and armed with a gun. As she attempted to flee, he fired his gun and shot her. Gorman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Medina-Medina should have never been in our country, but was RELEASED into our communities by the Biden administration. He was then released AGAIN following an arrest for shoplifting in Chicago, Illinois.
Illinois sanctuary politicians and Governor Pritzker must work with us to ensure this public safety threat is NEVER released back into our neighborhoods again.

— Greg Price (@greg_price11) March 23, 2026

Because it happened in 2023 when the Biden administration policy was that a shoplifting charge wouldn’t be an enforcement priority for ICE. Nor would sanctuary Chicago have notified ICE they had him:

The Laken Riley act passed in 2025.

His prior arrest was in 2023. https://t.co/WCEXDWiy5o
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) March 22, 2026

See, it was the victim who was in the "wrong place at the wrong time," not the criminal illegal alien who should have been deported the hell out of our country years ago:

Meet Chicago Democrat and 49th Ward Alderwoman Maria Hadden, who pretty much blamed Sheridan Gorman for her own murder:

— Gina Milan (@ginamilan_) March 23, 2026

The victim's family says they will fight for their slain daughter and refuse to go along with the left-wing narrative that this was just a "wrong place wrong time" situation.

It was a completely-preventable murder, but for the insane and deadly political choices made by the country's mentally-ill pary.

21 My favorite of the fake arguments from the left and libertarians (but I repeat myself) is "BUT BUT BUT immigrants are more law abiding than the native citizens!!!!!"

ALWAYS citing the same study.

Where they (1) purposely conflated legal and illegal immigrants (legal immigrants ARE very law abiding. They have to be.) And (2) compared the rates of criminality of immigrants versus the rates of criminality of native citizens of the same ethnicity as the immigrants.

So the study is full of lies.

But that, of course, is why they use it. Because they don't really care about the truth, they just want open borders because that's the way they will cement their iron-fisted rule.

I remember a couple of years ago a cop, who was white, got called to a domestic disturbance.

When he got there he found two black women fighting one about to stab the other with a knife.

He yelled for the knife wielder to stop and when she didn't shot her.

The FNM claimed he only shot the woman because she was black. But I 100% guarantee that if he had not fired and the knife wielder had been able to stab killing the victim that we would have heard endlessly the only reason the cop didn't shoot was because the victim was black...

Community Relations Service (CRS): The U.S. Department of Justice's Community Relations Service (CRS) is specifically tasked with helping to quell racial unrest and prevent community conflict following incidents such as racially motivated murders. CRS acts as a “peacemaker” within the DOJ, providing mediation and conflict resolution services to state and local officials, law enforcement, and community leaders during civil disturbances.

Community Relations Service (CRS): The U.S. Department of Justice's Community Relations Service (CRS) is specifically tasked with helping to quell racial unrest and prevent community conflict following incidents such as racially motivated murders. CRS acts as a “peacemaker” within the DOJ, providing mediation and conflict resolution services to state and local officials, law enforcement, and community leaders during civil disturbances.

------

But somehow, they only quelled unrest when the victim was white.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at March 23, 2026 02:11 PM

I read that in the case of a minority 'victim,' the CRS held meetings with selected locals that organized and coached demonstrations, marches, and de facto helped start riots. Obama style community organizing as a function of the federal
government. They were all over things like the George Floyd riots.

The families of white victims got heavy pressure to do as they were told, and to express gratitude for the diversity that had killed their children, at a press conference. No marches for them.

Lynching is a serious concern, and a serious challenge to the state's power over the use of violence. You only get to do that and get away with it if the local government is OK with the result. Otherwise they hunt it down because it is that much of a threat. J6 is an example of what can be done when there is a will to do it.

A district court judge making rulings outside of their limited jurisdictions is illegal and fraudulent.

Trump really should arrest Xinis, but there's honestly no way that the judiciary would allow the suit to go forward. Dismissing the case as soon as possible.

Jesus continually invites us to be redeemed. He has made it clear what the punishment is and that you always have a chance at that redemption. That doesn’t mean sin comes without consequences. It does. He made it clear we are all brothers and sisters. The Gospels continue that message. He commanded us to love each other. That doesn’t mean you should be led like sheep to slaughter. But it does mean to keep your heart pure and focused on redemption. I think Saint Paul said it best;
“ Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”

More like .333, Obama was elected the first time by the people, second time he was cheated back in to office. Did you think Biden was the first time they cheated? They believed their own press releases about Hillary’s inevitability, so didn’t put use full court press on the cheat machine for her. Thus Trump 1.0.

346 bonhomme, as a parent that is a great feeling. I coached my son from his age 5-12 and I recall being in the coaches box on a gorgeous spring night, giving my son a high five after a single, and then some quick instructions on base running strategy ("hit on the ground, go, etc,).

Remember looking around at the field, the kids playing, parents watching and cheering the kids on, and saying to myself, "Remember this moment because your life will never be any better than this".

Saw some little leaguers practicing yesterday, and it brought it all back. Enjoy, Dad

Revolutionary Guard Sponsored Terrorist Groups Firebombs Synagogue and Ambulances in London

The Cultural Enrichment is, mwah, delicioso.

Even though this is a terrorist attack plotted and executed by a cell of the terrorist organization the Revolutionary Guards, pants-pissing cowardly British government officials are refusing, as usual, to call terror what it is, euphemizing the terror attack as an "incident," a "fire-bombing" or a "hate" attack.

A conquered people must learn the language of its conquerors. The British learned French, now they'll learn Arabic and Islamese.

Counter-terror police are leading the investigation into an anti-Semitic firebomb attack feared to have been orchestrated by Iran.
Scotland Yard confirmed that officers with "specialist expertise" were investigating the arson, in which four ambulances were set on fire outside a synagogue in Golders Green, London, on Monday morning.
Israeli embassy sources told The Telegraph that the firebombing had the hallmarks of an Iran-backed attack.
A video claiming responsibility for the firebombing has emerged on social media and is believed to be by a group linked to Tehran.
The arson, which is being treated as a hate crime, will raise concerns that Iran is mounting a concerted campaign of attacks across Europe following similar incidents in recent weeks.

Similar "incidents."

Two Iranian immigrants were charged last week with spying on Jews in London for Tehran. A separate Iranian man will appear in court on Monday after he and an accomplice allegedly tried to enter Britain's most important nuclear base.
Det Ch Supt Luke Williams, of the Metropolitan Police, said the force was looking into three suspects seen approaching the ambulances on Highfield Road at around 1.45am on Monday.
He said: "CCTV footage appears to show three people in hoods pouring an accelerant on to the vehicles before igniting them and fleeing.
"While this has not been declared a terrorist incident at this stage, the investigation is now being led by counter-terrorism policing with all the specialist expertise they bring, and all lines of enquiry remain open.
"We are aware of an online claim from a group taking responsibility for this attack. Establishing the authenticity and accuracy of this claim will be a priority for the investigation team, but it is not something we can confirm at this point."
A Shi'ite group linked to Iranian terror networks has allegedly claimed responsibility for the attack online. The video, apparently shared by Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiaf on Telegram, showed footage of the arson along with a statement in English, Hebrew and Arabic.
It described the Machzike Hadath synagogue, near where the attack took place, as "one of the most important centres of Orthodox Judaism" and "one of the main bastions of support for Israel in Britain".

The problem is that 6% amounts to almost 4 million people, and it's growing rapidly. There's a lot of votes and graft and political and cultural power in 4 million people. Plus, these people are savages, and people are afraid of them. UK already has a gunless, timid society. Add in millions of morlocks and this is what you get.

109 Islam only knows one language- conquest. Their entire cult book of lies is based on that one fundamental principle. Entire societies have been forced converted and kept in the cult for centuries through murder and coercion. They have rather openly stated the wests tenets of liberty and freedom will allow them to take over entire societies. Guess what, the UK is just the beginning.

They aren’t a religion of peace.

They are not in fact a religion at all.

They are a death cult of fanatics and need to be extinguished. They are incompatible with a free society and are an abomination to our culture.

If the UK people would open their eyes and consider other cultures instead of defaulting to their own, they'd know this. Ignorance is no excuse.

The new generation is waking up to find that’s bullshit and they will never be the neo Nazi’s as those wanting to keep them down through shaming have told them. Aspect AfD will continue to grow and those in power will continue to find authoritarian ways to keep them down. It’s coming to a clash. The only question is when.

He technically has power over the government. The crown hasn't really used it in...forever. But they can dissolve governments and veto legislation.

They just don't do it because they know that they are just wallpaper to the nation.

However, Charles seems really dedicated to destroying his nation through immigration. He could have it in him to dissolve a conservative/reform/restore government and induce snap elections to stop remigration efforts.

In which case...the people decide that their king isn't worth it.

It's why Reform did so badly in the last general election (well, one of several reasons, the other major one being CP working with Labour to maximize Labour gains).

Reform has spent about a decade building its brand as "CP but less dishonest." Restore is brand new. Parliamentary systems swing hard all the time.

Labour got a super majority the likes that have not been seen in England for generations with about 30% of the vote.

320 271 Labour got a super majority the likes that have not been seen in England for generations with about 30% of the vote.
_____

The left has it easy, only 30% and a 5 year super-majority. Whereas AfD could get 49.99% and it won't be enough because the 2nd place winner, even if nominally center-right, will form a coalition with every other lunatic left-wing party just to keep AfD out of power.
Posted by: Chuck Martel at March 23, 2026 01:19 PM (Dv3i1)

Not quite. In a multi party election 49.99% of the vote would translate into a massive majority of seats. Like 80% of seats probably.

Trudeau won something like 33% of the vote and got a majority of seats in Canada. It’s the retarded nature of multi party parliamentary systems.

The shredder thing is cool to a point. I did it for awhile until my fingers didn't work for anything else because the muscle memory is real. I went to play an AC/DC song one day and my fingers were tripping over each other. Thats when I stopped. I can still do it, just not every day.

Slavery is Part of China, Inc’s Business Model; Slaves Were Even Brought to Brazil for a Chinese EV Plant

Slavery is thriving in Chinese manufacturing, both in China proper, and at Chinese plants built in other countries. “Free traders” and others who blanch at the thought of corporations paying any labor expense have green-lit the aggressive renaissance of chattel labor in the 21st century. They are willfully blind to slave labor being the linchpin of the “China, Inc.” business model, because it gets labor expense as close to $0 as possible.

Meanwhile, libertarians and free traders say it’s all cool because consumers get lower prices. While I like to mock their buzzphrase “Tariffs are a tax on consumers,” they have effectively adopted a corollary phrase, “Abolishing slavery is a tax on consumers.” Sen. James Hammond of South Carolina made pretty much that exact argument in the 1850s when defending slavery in America.

The embrace of 21st century slavery as part of the globalist economic system is an abomination that I keep returning to, because slavery is as offensive now as it was 165 years ago. In a recent piece at The American Spectator titled “The War on Labor Expense is Renormalizing Slavery, Just in a 21st Century Form” I wrote, “So, despite America’s hangover from 19th-century slavery, many 21st-century libertarians still condone its practice overseas. If this type of slave labor offends our sensibilities when it occurs in Georgia, why is it acceptable for manufacturing that is outsourced to China to use the same labor system? The acceptance of slave labor anywhere in our supply chain makes the domestic acceptance of slavery possible.”

The Washington Post performed some important journalism recently in covering the horror of slaves being brought from China to the Americas to work at an electric vehicle plant in Brazil. It’s important to remember that if Chinese companies are brazen enough to use slave labor on foreign soil, think about how pernicious the use of slave labor is in China itself.

“They came to build China’s EV future; Investigators found conditions akin to slavery” [Washington Post – 3/14/2026]

As weeks passed, Oliveira’s curiosity deepened. [The 56 Chinese laborers’] food was prepared in an improvised kitchen in the garage, amid industrial detritus and vermin, and they never seemed to do anything for fun. All they did was work. “Seven days a week,” Oliveira, 35, recalled. “Sunday to Sunday. I never saw any one taking a day off.” They departed every morning at dawn and didn’t return until dusk. The hours in between were spent helping to build Latin America’s largest electric car factory for the world’s biggest electric automaker, China’s BYD.

Brazil welcomed the BYD electric vehicle operation because the intent was to provide manufacturing jobs for Brazilians. The intent was not to bring in foreign labor, and certainly not to import slaves. Perhaps because Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish slavery (in 188 it is very sensitive to those trying to find a workaround to bring it back. When word of slavery being used at the factory filtered up, the government investigated. It found hungry Chinese nationals living in squalor, and working all-day, seven days a week.

Chinese men were inhabiting practically every square inch. Most slept without mattresses. Trash lay everywhere. Food was stored on the ground. In one of the buildings, 31 laborers shared a single bathroom; it was coated with an “excess of sludge,” government inspectors reported. This went far beyond labor violations, the inspectors concluded. The workers enlisted by BYD to build its keystone factory in the Americas had been forced, they wrote, into conditions that recalled slavery.

Much like sex traffickers luring girls into prostitution with promises of a modeling career, BYD and its subcontractors lured poor Chinese men into slavery by promising them a high-paying, overseas job. Once in Brazil, their passports were confiscated, and the promised pay was withheld. Armed security patrolled their sleeping spaces to ensure they couldn’t escape.

As is often the case with modern-day slavery, there are layers of contractors and sub-contractors to muddy the issue of whom the slaves work for, and who is accountable.

But instead, BYD turned to a Rolodex of Chinese construction firms. The list included its longtime business partner, Jinjiang Construction Group, which BYD had hired more than a dozen times since 2017 to help build electric car plants, renewable battery factories and BYD monorails in dozens of locations across China, according to statements from both companies and Chinese state media.
Laborers in China have sued Jinjiang repeatedly, court records show, alleging unsafe working conditions and unpaid wages. Many have lost, not because they couldn’t produce evidence — but because they couldn’t prove they worked for Jinjiang. The use of nebulous subcontractors is common across China’s construction industry, labor advocates say, shielding businesses from accountability.

Jinjiang argued that the situation in Brazil was due to “cultural differences,” and it put out a statement reading, “The claims that Jinjiang’s workers were treated as ‘slaves’ and were ‘rescued’ are completely inconsistent with the facts.”

The same opaque system of “employment” was used by BYD and Jinjiang in Hungary.

“Many workers don’t even know who their legal employer is,” said Li Qiang, founder of the New York-based nonprofit China Labor Watch. His team recently interviewed 50 Jinjiang laborers working on the BYD factory in Hungary. In a letter to local authorities shared with The Post, the organization alleged “clear indicators of forced labor,” including 12-hour workdays and granting rest only when it rained.

Subcontracted slavery is still slavery. All the politicians, free traders, and EV fanboys who are excited about the promise of cheap Chinese EVs taking over the global auto market need to understand that they are active participants in the re-normalization of “the peculiar institution.”

Slavery is clearly not considered a problem in China. It’s policy. Slavery is a fundamental component of the business model for Chinese manufacturing. Those “free traders” who advocate for the use of Chinese manufacturing in the American supply chain are arguing in favor of slavery just as emphatically as John Calhoun or any other southern politician did in the antebellum era.

Climate Realism Rising

Just a reminder - The Heartland Institute is holding its 16th International Conference on Climate Change next month, featuring a who’s who of the leading scientists and climate realists who have been educating the public on the reality of the climate hoax.

As a proud “climate denier” I will once again be attending and reporting on the conference. It is at the Hotel Washington in Washington DC on April 8th and 9th. I met several Ace of Spades readers at the previous climate conference in 2023 and I know that some of y’all will be in attendance this year. If so, I’d be delighted to shake your hand.

Climate communism seemed like an unstoppable force just a few years ago. The scientists who pushed back against media censors and government agencies pushing “net zero” are brave people who risked their reputations and livelihoods. They are heroes to me, like all the brave souls who have fought authoritarians and communists throughout the ages.

Here is a link with more information if you are considering attending. I’d be delighted to see you there.

There is no slavery in communism. The state owns everything, including you. The state is using it's resources as it sees fit. You may find it unfortunate that you are one of the resources living in squalor and working 12+ hours, 7 days per week, while others live in luxury but that's just how things are.

50 Hey, remember when the Obamas got that crazy Netflix deal upon exiting the WH, and the first film they produced was this:

". . .about the fate of the GM plant, which was reborn via an unlikely savior: In 2014, Chinese investor Cao Dewang bought the building and reopened it as Fuyao Glass America, manufacturer of windshields and auto glass. The plan was to bring over a core team of specially trained Chinese workers, and to staff the remainder of the jobs with local talent. . .
- - -
By giving nearly equal attention to the incoming Chinese laborers and a handful of Ohio-based line workers, “American Factory” reveals a stark contrast between the attitudes and expectations of each: The foreign workers make huge sacrifices, spending long hours at repetitive tasks and living four to an apartment in order to send their earnings back to their families, whereas their American colleagues seem inefficient and relatively high-maintenance. . .

59 On March 23, 1775: Delegate Patrick Henry rose to address the Second Virginia convention. His speech was built carefully and deliberately, acknowledging the desire for peace while arguing that armed resistance was now unavoidable. He warned that further appeals to the British Crown would be futile Then came the line that would echo through American history: “Give me liberty or give me death!”

Henry’s call for liberty had helped prepare Virginia for what became the American Revolution. Patrick Henry’s words endure because they speak to a universal principle: that freedom and civic responsibility are intertwined. His declaration did not guarantee independence. But it helped galvanize a community to act according to its convictions.

When my son was in the third grade, he was selected to play Patrick Henry in a school play. I worked with him every night to not only go over his lines, but to tell him about the passion and commitment these men had to the birth of a new nation built on liberty and freedom. He played his part beautifully and mom sat in the audience with tears rolling down her cheeks.

A guess? Culturally, they seem to not value life, whether it's a human or any poor animal that crosses their path. If you don't value these slaves' lives, then they are no different than livestock (i.e. not unique individuals with their own souls, personalities, etc.). They only require the bare minimum to be maintained in their pens. Why do they need clean housing, mattresses, a functional bathroom? They have no intrinsic value except whatever work can be wrung out of them.

His speech was built carefully and deliberately, acknowledging the desire for peace while arguing that armed resistance was now unavoidable. He warned that further appeals to the British Crown would be futile Then came the line that would echo through American history: “Give me liberty or give me death!”

. . .

When my son was in the third grade, he was selected to play Patrick Henry in a school play. I worked with him every night to not only go over his lines, but to tell him about the passion and commitment these men had to the birth of a new nation built on liberty and freedom. He played his part beautifully and mom sat in the audience with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Police believed Alessandro Mercogliano, 53, and 36-year-old Sara Ardizzone were plotting an attack against a police station and Leonardo, a defence contractor, which made parts for F-35 jets.

Honestly, when you go down the rabbit hole on one, it's going to be easy to jump to the other.

ACom though is a joke. Socialism requires government force. It can't exist without it.

Which also makes the things about how their population may be far lower than stated interesting.

Slave revolts in Rome usually followed when there were periods of territorial expansion (hence a lot of new slaves coming in.) Territorial stasis meant the ones they had were usually treated better as a simple expediency.

Considering reports we have about the Uighurs for example, I am not sure our theories are correct in a modern society with much greater surveillance as they seem to be being treated far worse than say even African slaves here.

Michel Foucault
Gerard Fromanger

I normally dislike this sort of pretend art, but the scribbles across Foucault are a perfect representation of his chaotic ideas. He was the darling of the post-modernists, but he was a flaccid thinker who covered up his shallowness with linguistic nonsense.

Not all persons bearing the name Foucault have been a net drain on society.

To wit:
In 1851 the French physicist Jean-Bernard-Léon Foucault assembled in Paris the first pendulums of this type, one of which consisted of a 28-kg (62-pound) iron ball suspended from inside the dome of the Panthéon by a steel wire 67 metres (220 feet) long and set in motion by drawing the ball to one side and carefully releasing it to start it swinging in a plane. The rotation of the plane of swing of Foucault’s pendulums was the first laboratory demonstration of the Earth’s spin on its axis.

91 He was the darling of the post-modernists, but he was a flaccid thinker who covered up his shallowness with linguistic nonsense.

The point of leftwing philosophy isn't to come up with universal rules for mankind.

The point is to come up with a system that allows a select group to achieve power.

Imagine Foucault didn't die in '84. Imagine we found out he had been cryogenically frozen and was thawed out today. After given a little bit of time to understand the leftwing narrative he would immediately parrot it and argue that his ideas obviously support the changes over the last 40 years.

98 If I ever found a society, Foucault's work will be taught in detail during High School - every word he wrote, every interview he gave. In fact, most of HS would just be courses on Leftism, from Marx onward.

Because there will be an iron law that any adult who ever espouses a Left wing idea, knowingly or not, can be legally shot by anyone who witnesses it, or turned over to the Panther Guard and taken to the pits. A comprehensive education in Leftism would be necessary for survival in the real world.

99 BTW, Paul Ehrlich ("The Population Bomb") wasn't wrong -- 2050 is the new due date for his doom goblin predictions, according to one of his delusional true believers.

Occasionally I've been talking with younger people about the fact that 40 years ago no one was worried about global warming - most of the apocalyptic movies from then are worried about overpopulation.

They are *shocked* as they assume global warming has been around as a concern for a lot longer and they are just as shocked that overpopulation could be a concern...BUT WE NEED MORE IMMIGRANTS!

147 Michel Foucault
Gerard Fromanger

(AI Overview, in part) Gérard Fromanger (1939–2021) was a prominent French painter of the Figuration Narrative movement known for his politically conscious, vibrant works and close ties to philosophers Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze. Foucault famously analyzed Fromanger’s work in his text "Photogenic Painting," describing it as capturing the "anonymous movement of what is happening."

"Both were involved in the intellectual milieu following the May 1968 student protests in Paris, with Fromanger often creating art that acted as a political "red" filter on urban reality."

Okay, I get it though I probably wouldn't hang it.

I wouldn't have any specific requirements in that regard - "I do or don't think we should go to war" isn't Leftism.

"We should or shouldn't go to war because it would help or harm a collectivist country," - shot or fed to panthers.

Taxpayer funded security isn't about protection. It's about having a 24/7 sign following you around saying "I'm important and better than you."

That's why they want it. And, since the UK government knows that's why they want it, they're not giving it to them. Remarkably.

And, TBH, he looked about 10 years younger then his age, good genetics and healthy living will do that for you.

I remember the lefties I know at the time making fun of him though, "Come on people this is stupid age is a biological fact unlike say sex. What an idiot!"

The IRGC is probably being run now by recently promoted corporals who watched America destroy the top 5 levels of civilian, military, and police infrastructure in a matter of weeks while barely taking any damage back.

You're right, I should have included the IRGC leaders. I'm sure we (really the Israelis) have most or all of the roster. We send them a message with a dead fish.

TEHRAN — A typo in an early version of a U.S. Central Command operation order has reportedly resulted in what defense officials are calling "the most confusing yet epic psyop of all time."

The scope of the error was not fully understood until early Saturday morning, when Israel and the U.S. began "major military operations" inside Iran under an operation dubbed "Epic Fury." But the operation had been mistakenly labeled Operation Epic Furry on a first-draft document circulated through the Defense Department's secure email system.

I am starting to wonder what we are negotiating. That’s all. Trump is trying to say that regime change is not necessarily what we are after. This doesn’t sound like unconditional surrender. I think the Israelis are more focused on that leadership change. They are the ones taking out most of the people. But it kinda looks like they are racing the clock. It feels like Trump is losing his patience and wants this settle. That smells political. Hope I’m wrong. Really.

The Morning Report — 3/23/26

Good morning kids. So, tick tock, tick tock. . .

Trump Draws Red Line: 48 Hours To Open Strait Or U.S. Strikes Begin
The president has promised to "obliterate" Iranian power plants if Tehran does not comply.

Well, time's up. . .

On Saturday, March 21, President Donald Trump delivered a 48-hour ultimatum to the Iranian regime to stop terrorizing the strategic Strait of Hormuz or face devastating consequences. The Iranian Islamic regime has defied the ultimatum and promised to shut down the strait altogether.. . .It is hardly surprising that the Iranian regime is doubling down, considering that it is run by fundamentalist Muslim fanatics who truly believe Allah has given them a mission to fight the “great Satan” America to the death. This defiance does, however, illustrate clearly to the world why the joint U.S.-Israel Operation Epic Fury is necessary and how fully justified Trump is in carrying through on his ultimatum.
Trump had warned, “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

It is a shame that the long-suffering Persian people are going to suffer even more because of the intransigence and belligerence of the Mullahs who are hell bent on bringing about Armageddon as the precursor to global Shiite Islamic conquest.

For those who question if this trip was necessary, give Iran's 47-year bloody wave of terror not only in the Middle East but across the globe, (that has spilled rivers of American blood to the tune of "Death to America!") which is on top of Islam's 1500 year wave of terror. So, if scimitars, firearms and tanks and planes won't do the trick, there are always ICBMs.

The position taken by Obama, Democrats, the media and, more recently, Tucker Carlson, is that we should accept Iran’s claims about its military capabilities, whether it comes to its nuclear weapons or its ballistic missiles. After all, a bunch of Islamic terrorists would never lie to us. Would they? . .
. . . Iran launched ballistic missiles at the joint US-UK military base in Diego Garcia on Friday, demonstrating a weapons capability that goes beyond what Tehran was known to have possessed.
The base, a strategic airfield that can host B-2 stealth bombers located nearly 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) away from Iran, suffered no damage, according to a person familiar with the matter speaking on condition of anonymity.
The media is now busy pretending that we had no idea that Iran had that kind of capabilities despite repeated warnings, including the Obama Iran Deal, that Iran had missiles capable of hitting European capitals. . . Netanyahu said in an interview with right-wing podcaster Ben Shapiro on Monday that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of about 8,000 kilometers, warning that Tehran’s expanding weapons program could threaten major American cities. The Iranian missiles could “put New York City, Boston, Washington or Miami under their atomic guns,” the Israeli prime minister said.

. . . imagine that the ICBMs Iran lied about having don’t simply travel 2,000 miles, but 4,000 miles or more, which would allow them to strike a major city in the United States.
“That’s what they’re planning to do. Now, imagine that those ICBMs are tipped with nuclear warheads, which they were planning to do as well. So, we have to face a very difficult situation,” he said before noting that while gas prices are temporarily higher as a result of the war, they will return to normal.

And speaking of tyrannical regimes and malign, evil oppressors . . .

So many people inside the United States believe the left’s narrative about the United States today, the question becomes very real: can the nation survive the presence within it of a large and growing population of people who hate it and wish to see it destroyed?
For the left, the truth doesn’t matter as much as the narrative. And if the narrative is incendiary enough, and they can convince enough people to believe it, it could indeed be destructive, and even bring the whole nation down, with incalculable effects for the world at large. The narrative that the left is pushing hard right now is a variation on a theme it has harped upon repeatedly since the war in Vietnam and even before that, from the time of the beginning of the Cold War. . . And so we come to one Joe Iosbaker, a 67-year-old leader of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), which describes itself as “a national organization of revolutionaries fighting for socialism in the United States. Our home is in the working class.” FRSO’s rhetoric is pure 1930s-era Marxist agitprop, as if the Stalinist purges, the gulags, the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Khmer Rouge killing fields had never existed: “We are organizing the united front against monopoly capitalism — with the strategic alliance of the multinational working class and oppressed nationality movements at its core. This is our general strategy for revolution in the U.S.”

With that from friend and friend of the blog Robert Spencer as the set-up, Raw Egg Nationalist takes it further, a lot further than maybe we'd like to go . . .

The transformation of El Salvador dramatically illustrates a point made by Friedrich Nietzsche, one that’s often missed. In The Genealogy of Morals, Nietzsche set himself the task of revealing the non-moral origins of various institutions, including morality itself. One of his main targets was the state and the notion of a primitive “social contract.” Far from originating in a friendly handshake and an agreement among equals, the state was birthed in blood. Before the state was the state, it was ravaging barbarians—the blonde beasts—who descended on less warlike peoples and subjugated them. Over time, through great violence, these pitiless lords shaped and molded their captives into citizens, self-regulating creatures that could live together, act responsibly, and obey commands. . .
The broader point—that great violence is an inescapable part of the civilizing process—is obviously true. Historians of medieval Europe have shown that, generation after generation, something like 1 percent of the male population was put to death in the name of law and order. The peaceful, high-trust societies that European governments are now destroying through mass immigration—societies where murder was no longer a valid social strategy, only the rare product of intoxication or sexual jealousy—existed because the most violent people were systematically put to death until their genes were expunged for good. . .
Predictions make fools of us all, they say. Bukele may prove a lone exception in the Americas: a leader of unusual will and a ruthless pragmatism who is prepared to assert the rights of the peaceful majority against those of the small minority of murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and pimps who once acted with impunity.

Have a great day!

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

County elections officials have disputed the claims by Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, called Bianco’s move unprecedented and says it is designed to sow distrust in elections. Bianco held a news conference Friday saying his office had launched the investigation after receiving a complaint from a local citizens group about the ballot count from a November 2025 special election on redistricting. In the special election, voters approved a measure to redraw congressional district lines to favor Democrats in the upcoming midterm election. The measure passed in the county by a margin of more than 80,000 votes.

The governor, who is known to have a strained relationship with President Donald Trump, reportedly selected oil and gas executive Alan Armstrong to succeed Mullin, the junior Republican senator of the Sooner State the president nominated to replace Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, pending Senate confirmation. NOTUS first reported the news late Saturday, citing three anonymous sources. Oklahoma state law stipulates Stitt’s pick can only serve until the end of Mullin’s term in January 2027, after which the winner of the state’s November Senate election — in which Trump-endorsed Republican Rep. Kevin Hern is the heavy favorite — will take office.

29 More and more, I'm convinced that China is way worse off than anyone knows.

I think their population is 200-300 million less then they claim.
And every one of their economic numbers are likely 20-30% overstated.

One of the biggest, most obvious recent lies that I see the left desperately repeating is their claim of this massive increase in solar power production.
Simply, you don't build solar if you can build coal. And you don't build coal if you can build nuclear.

Venezuela and Iran both fed China oil at, I bet, 10% of market price--$200 million of oil for $20 million. Hundred-plus times a year.

There are, according to YT comments, people on the left who believe that the Trump Administration, over the past several years (don't try to make it make sense), have fired thousands of social security workers so that they can then use the tax dollars for a new wing on the White House.

These people are beyond uninformed. They're anti-informed.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at March 23, 2026 07:47 AM (ExV1e)

41 There were originally 716 A-10 aircraft built for the U.S. Air Force, with approximately 281 still in service as of recent reports.

Seems to me they need to do what they are doing for the Buff. Find a commercial engine and retrofit the frames for another 20 years of service.

Like this:
The General Electric CF34 is a civilian high-bypass turbofan developed by GE Aviation from its TF34 military engine. The CF34 is used on a number of business and regional jets, including the Bombardier CRJ series, the Embraer E-Jets, and Comac ARJ21/C909.

There are 7,500 engines in service.

I'm glad he did it because even if the mullahs cling to power he'll have so degraded them that they won't be a threat to us for 20 years at least.

The only way to get rid of them would be to send in large numbers of troops on the ground and I'm dead set against that... but I can live with this kind of less-than-perfect success. It had to be done and we finally got a president with the cajones to do it

Some - ahem - 40 years ago the narrative that the AF didn't want the A10 because it wasn't sexy they should transfer them to the Army was being kicked around.

And here we are.

71 The thinking at the AF is that the A-10's mission, to kill Soviet tanks in Europe during WWIII, is over. That's just being short sighted and wanting money for some other shiny thing.

Be that as it may, the "Skyraider II" a militarized Air Tractor AT-802 agricultural aircraft fulfills some of the CAS role the A-10 does. "Some." It's more of a SpecOps toy.... IMO.

It probably could shoot up IRGC speed boats and other lightly skinned targets if brought into theater.

I don't believe for a second that the US and Iran had "talks". Trump is backing down from an insane threat and is trying to save face. And I wouldn't be surprised if there's also some convenient insider trading happening as well.

This is strictly for the markets and he’s back to his set up a due date distraction. Too bad the “other side” hasn’t spoken to this “deal”. Trade accordingly.

Sounds like stock market manipulation for him and his buddies yet again, tomorrow it will be another statement. Complete and total corruption.

Announcement was pre-US-mkt-open, and meant to delay TACO's threat for full trading week. Iran is NOT negotiation w this liar, and - even if it were - his promises about bomb strikes are MEANINGLESS. Negotiation=SneakAttackInProgress for TACO liar.

109 AF wanted to rid themselves of the A-10 because they sold people on the faulty idea their other airframes, with the new gen of munitions, could fulfill the CAS and other roles of the A-10. They also posited the A-10 didn’t have the stealth and engagement survival ability of the new gen like the F-35.

They were wrong. Low and slow still has a role, as we see. The A-10 can loiter longer, be effective at CAS, elude a lot of munitions, take out drones more effectively and play a very specific role in the battle space. Not that it matters, but the price tag is cheaper too.

The left knows nothing of his protection of Whitey Bulger (and his brother, the MA politician).
Or that he was the FBI head who let Epstein roam free.
They have no idea how senile he was, merely the face of the prosecution.
They really believe that he "proved" Trump colluded. Not a one knows they "tried" the entire case via indictments and press conferences.
Never investigated any witnesses or claims.
Or how they desperately made sure none of the Russians charged ever got to even the evidence stage.

But more hilarious--and frightening--was some claiming the Rs "leaked" the name of covert CIA agent Valarie Plame in retaliation back when.

I mean ... they never, ever let go of their lies no matter how much evidence proves it a lie.

Will Israel pause attacks, too? I dunno. I hope not.

Regarding attacks on power plants - I think electricity generation by most Iranian power plants can be stopped by severing natural gas pipelines. I believe most Iranian power plants nowadays run on natural gas. If pipelines are buried it seems to me we and the Israelis have penetration bombs that can do the job. Mossad likely has very detailed pipeline maps. Do this and you leave the plants and transformers ready to go. Pipelines can be repaired quicker than repairing/replacing turbines and transformers. IRGC pipeline repair crews can be killed or kept away by air attacks.

145 Investigators could find “nothing” criminal on Phares during their probe, according to the lead case agent, and in fact, they concluded he was “honest.” Yet Mueller’s team continued to secretly spy on Phares—without providing the powerful federal spy court any of the exculpatory evidence that could clear Phares as required by law.

The agent told investigators in a separate 2020 internal FBI review that “there were no corroborating facts that tied Crosswind [the codename for Phares’s case] to certain facts that we thought were originally true,”

The Process is the Punishment.

157 A small reminder, related to Tucker Carlson:

Mel Gibson, actor and director, had an incident back in 2006. when he was pulled over for a DUI. During the stop he began ranting and raving that it was the fault of the Jews.

He was cancelled and blacklisted.

Tucker, on the other hand, isn't a one-time thing, nor under the effects of mood-altering chemicals (that we know of). Nor is Candance Owens, who has been making a lot of despicable comments as well.

Not cancelled. And they have yet to apologize. And no, "Just Asking Questions" is not an apology.

We probably need a DataRepublican "Hello," for those two to see who keeps boosting their platforms beyond that of some low-talent shock jocks.

182 Regarding the TSA lack of funds:

Remember that the Democrats played "Let's **** the American People!!!" at the tail end of 2025 by forcing a government shutdown.

They ended up relenting when Trump took advantage of the situation to lay off federal workers due to the lack of funding. Workers that are the Dem's rank and file. They managed to get them hired back as a concession for reopening the spigots.

But the TSA? DHS? Departments that deal with safety and security? Those workers aren't Democrats that are feeling the pain, so the Democratic leaders are free to drop trow and "rain" on the little folks having issues making ends meet now.

Remember the grapevine game? Tell someone something which is verbally passed through multiple layers and see what comes out at the other end. It comes from the social media side of that.

It gets reported that Trump is mentioned in the Epstein Files. Well, as absolutely everyone knows, every single person mentioned in the Epstein Files is a pedo (even though all the arrests, AFAIK, have been for financial matters). So, Trump is a pedo. Then, because everyone who knows anything knows that Trump is a convicted rapist, and a pedo, it means that he raped a child (ignoring the fact that children cannot consent and, therefore, all sex with a child is rape.)

From there, it's a simple matter to continually lower the age of the victim. If they weren't leftists, they'd probably be saying it was an unborn baby by now. And they all believe every single word of it because they are incapable of setting aside their hate for long enough to ask, "Does this sound actually plausible?"

What caused my jaw to drop to the floor is that even after all his (foolish, silly) predictions were shown to be completely and utterly wrong and backwards and stupid etc etc.... even after being proven wrong conclusively, he did not slink away into anonymity. He was still out there saying he was right!!! Is that hubris... stupidity... lack of shame? I don't get it... when you're that wrong, just exit stage left.

219 I dunno. How did we get from “unconditional surrender” to “we’re negotiating”?

One of these is not like the other. It looks like what under discussion is a modified JCPOA agreement. We called that a failure, and it was. Don’t understand how this conclusion is any better. That’s an honest question.

By the way, Eric Metaxas recently noted, with some amusement, that former friend Tucker Carlson has labeled him, completely out of the blue, "deeply troubled." Tucker has done this with a number of people he formerly had as guests, called friends, endorsed or even wrote blurbs for their books. He has done this for no apparent reason other than that they have not wildly deviated from their views and matched his own anti-Israel psychosis.

Cognitive Dissonance is the brain's way of convincing itself about motivations. The example I learned in college is that if you have a subject do a repetitive task in an experiment for free while another does the repetitive task for $20, at the end the subject who did it for free will say he did the task because he found some enjoyment while the subject who did it for $20 will say she only did it for the money.

243 Attacks on infrastructure are a good threat but of questionable military value - a government that hates its own people will laugh when those people are made to suffer more.

Attacks on capabilities in the Straits need to continue, especially seizing the small islands in the straits; attacks on all offensive capabilities must continue; and attacks on government buildings, including local police stations and courthouses must continue.

Other targets are of questionable value at this point.

251 So SCOTUS is hearing a direct challenge to counting ballots after Election Day but "postmarked" on or before.

Recall, Bost v. Illinois, the 6-3 decision granted standing to challenge the post-election counting law.

While all the left is "of course it's legal to keep counting," none of them are discussing:
If it was legal to count ballots after Election Day, why did the court grant Bost standing to challenge the law?

Specifically, the majority rejected both the "won't affect the outcome" and the "must show significant monetary harm" rules courts had crafted to avoid ruling on the election laws (that favored their preferred candidates).

Strip those away and the argument is "what is Election Day?"
The RNC says it means counting only those ballots received by that day.
The DNC says it means counting all ballots received--or post-marked--by that day.

One Justice will ask the DNC, "what's to stop a state from accepting ballots up to a year later, and under Bost, forcing the candidate to incur that time and staffing expense until that ballot is counted?"

And that will be the 6-3 decision.

302 >>> then I see Trump's truth social message about negotiating with the islamic regime in Iran?

Trump doesn't want to bomb Iran and its power plants and its infrastructure into oblivion. He wants it to be easy for the Iranian people to take over and start fresh when the government falls. But he's also set up tough ultimatums to scare the regime into backing down. Negotiations may be the only way to thread that needle of not backing down from his threats, while not completely obliterating Iran.

I of course expect Iran to treat negotiations the way Palestine does...lie their butts off and backstab.

308 There is a cognitive bias called the Dunning–Kruger effect, which would be better called the Obama-Mamdani effect today. Dunning-Kruger describes a delusional mindset where “People with low knowledge or skill in an area tend to overestimate how competent they are.” In biblical terms, this kind of hubris is defined by Paul in Romans 12:3 as one “...think[ing] more highly of oneself than one ought.” That Scripture verse captures the essence of two popular, similar politicians who, despite having little knowledge or skill, have convinced many Americans of an expertise that simply doesn’t exist.

322 On the question of Britain’s Poor Laws and other forms of public welfare, Malthus’s concerns presaged those of Alexis de Tocqueville. He was convinced that government handouts to the poor would make their condition much worse and would, therefore, make them much more susceptible to the ravages of God’s positive checks. Welfare, Malthus argued, creates a cycle of dependency, depriving recipients of the desire to work (a virtue) and thereby trapping them permanently in the underclass. In short, he opposed the Poor Laws not out of cruelty but, ultimately, out of concern for the damage they could do to those they purported to help.
