Saturday Night Club ONT - February 28, 2026 [2 D's]
Club ONT patrons are not limited to wine. Any other spirit or beverage qualifies.
The rickey is a highball made from gin or bourbon, lime juice, and carbonated water. Little or no sugar is added to the rickey. It was created with bourbon in Washington, D.C., at Shoomaker's bar by bartender George A. Williamson in the 1880s, purportedly in collaboration with Democratic lobbyist Colonel Joe Rickey. Its popularity increased when made with gin a decade later.Shocking that a drink in DC is named after a Democratic lobbyist.
Look from low in the west (Mercury/Venus/Saturn) to high in the east (Jupiter). Visible to the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter visible to the naked eye. Binoculars or a telescope are needed to see Uranus and Neptune.

Thank you for the ONT on this great day!
I have no complaints (for once). I did not go to a family thing due to my beat up face from the derm elective deal to make me look as if I feel face first into a rose bush. The SIL I like least made a snarky comment that I could have "just slapped some make up on it" to my husband. Not that she'd know how to apply make up, being bitter and mean and liberal. My dude said our good SIL I love defended me. I will try to refrain from making a potato voodoo doll since it is Lent and I am behaving.
I did cut the Billy Joel song short above, altho I like him, due to the whistling. Some whistling I can tolerate, some I can't. I am not in the mood. Especially if someone whistles random noises. Or hums without it being a song. Get a room.
I LOVE OUR PRESIDENT AND MILITARY AND EVERYONE!
In the event you did not know. This includes y'all in the love statement.
Goodnight and have a great tomorrow!

Oh, good! I thought I was the only one with weird cousins! We have one who has always been strange since she hatched. My brother could imitate her well.
Granted, I did once feed some of them mud and tell them it was chocolate pudding. They watched me prepare this and ate it anyway. I got in a bit of trouble, not bad. I mean, they saw me do this!

In my misspent youth I actually did some LARP stuff. Vampires and werewolves. I'm sure people remember the 90s. The interesting thing was people loved to talk big and threaten, but they always assumed that their threats were harmless. Like, just words. My take was that they were serious, and so whenever a threat was given I'd pause and ask: "Do you really mean that?"
And they'd say: "Yeah!" So I'd pull out an index card that said "GUN" and go "BANG!" The referee would laugh and say "Yeah, that's surprise, no reaction, you got smoked."
The weird thing is, this continued to happen. Totally flat learning curve.

The diplomats are probably a mix of Helsinki Syndrome victims along with a handful with some common sense. I'm interested in what the Marine guards think.
The Marines made it their mission in life to fuck with the Iranian guards. One story I read was that they were held in a building with the only running water being in the bathroom. The guards would leave their dishes in the sink until it was full. The Marines would be allowed to use the bathroom and they'd piss all over the Iranians' dishes. Good for morale.

That's the blood moon, right?
It will probably be cloudy or raining, which is fine as we need rain/snow.
The 3 remaining Iranian Guards will probably fire off something somewhere that nigt and kaput. I think they are probably done based on what I read today. Maybe they have a Cessna that can still fly a few miles, but no pilot. So they will give it a go themselves.

Okay, one last story. My freshmen year in college, the RA went around with a big box of condoms. AIDS prevention or something. So he asked how many people wanted, and guys had to show off with what their expected usage was. I was considered a scrawny Bando virgin, so when they got to me, everyone expected I'd ask for a few, but instead I said: "Give me what you have left."
Oh how they laughed. But he did, and it was not long afterwards that I got a knock on the door late at night. "Lloyd, I know you have a box of condoms. I need one."
"Sure, but you owe me a dollar."
"Those were free!"
"Yeah, but now they are mine. You gonna pay?"
"Okay, tomorrow."
And so the word went forth throughout the hall, that Lloyd had a case of condoms, reasonably priced just when you need one. I made a lot of money that year.

Clean restrooms. So many gas pumps that it's unlikely you'll have to wait. Good barbecue (for being on the road, it's actually great barbecue). A good selection of food (like some of the Loves or Pilots that I've been to). More jerky than your body has room for. Beaver Nuggets (think Cheetos with non-cheese flavors). My girls like it because it's 1/3 convenience store, 1/3 barbecue and jerky joint, and 1/3 American kitsch. Do you want a Cowboy Collins cookbook? Got it. Do you want a sign that says 'Margaritas 24:7' like it's a Bible verse? Got that too. What about sweatpants with lots of beavers on them, so many that the men in your life snicker without telling you why? Got 'em in whatever small-to-Texas size you want.

An Iranian news anchor broke down in tears on live television while reading the news of Ali Khamenei’s death.

Good tequila is margaritas are very good- but that much.
The first time I had good rum it was revelatory. But then it wasa like $60 vs a $20. How much better could a $300 be? There are Flower de Cana bottles that expensive at the liquor store I go to.

I'm not throwing any stones. I liked silver Patron. Very smooth. Had Don Julio a few times. It's probably top of the top shelf. I believe it's pure blue agave. It's extremely good but not worth the price. I supported the cartels in other ways also. Not a stellar period of my life.

According to Israeli sources timing was determined by one thing alone: it began at the point that Mossad had learned that Khameini and 30 of Irans top military and political figures were all going to be in the same meeting, in the same room, at the same time. They had waited weeks to learn of just such a moment.
This is an odd sort of war - although there is a lot of mopping up to do, this war was won by the very first blue struck, when Iran’s government was completely decapitated.

And we have no plans of occupying any territory once it's done, we're just going to make sure the wrong people that are left aren't in a position to assert control themselves (I suspect mostly by wiping them out, though apparently a lot of their equipment is being systematically vaporized).
I wonder if, since we demanded they turn over any remaining enriched uranium they have, we know where it is and might be grabbing it on the sly? Assuming it's not still buried at Fordow.

The oil market is going to bounce for awhile. The bullion market will keep bouncing. Right now it's feeding off both uncertainty and on the silver side, supply issues . I think the wildcard will be the Asian markets. Big money boys are going to start wondering how China's economy is going to react to their oil supply issues. If the Asian markets panics, nerds on Wall St will join in. I'm betting there are some frazzled traders who are snorting lines and pounding shots right now, trying to forget that Monday will be calling soon.

JQ, when I quit, I think day 28 was the hardest. Internally, I was screaming, "Who runs Barter Town? I RUN BARTER TOWN!"
My body was throwing a tantrum. I had to keep reminding my weak psyche that I was in charge, and that I wasn't about to throw away weeks of disciplined resistance and control.
Day 28, my body threw a fit. It was nasty, but I fought through it. The next day, it was as if a fever had broken. Symptoms fled.
The freedom is worth the struggle. God, is it ever.

Cold turkey always frustrated me & I'd get so jammed in the head! Nah, not fun. The patches help take the edge off.
I started out (this time) with a nicotine vape. Nope-- puffed too much & OD'd sort of, and got sick. Quit the vape and bought the damned patches. It's... better now.

Saturday Evening Movie Post [moviegique]: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die
Shockingly, I think I've only seen one other movie this 21-day-stretch, the 1945 classic "Brief Encounter," which is semi-relevant. But rather than talk about that masterpiece, I thought I'd give you a review of a new movie that doesn't suck--an increasingly rare breed.
--
I was talking to a friend (who's been on a David Lean kick) about this movie, and she sighed and said "I hate...today."
Would you go on a quest with this man?
As I sat there enjoying this film, I also couldn't believe that it had gotten made, as it's a dark comedy—extremely dark—and has not-at-all subtle message the world would prefer to ignore: Devices and social media are robbing us of our humanity. We are being manipulated by various forces into this, and we are also culpable in our own ultimate destruction.
It's a fun movie. It's also, I hesitate to say, a thought-provoking one, and on a lot of levels. Let's talk about the fun, first. I'm not going to reveal much about the plot because the first two-thirds of the film is tight, and the way the script by Matthew Robinson (The Invention Of Lying, Bird Box) turns various elements from gag/commentary into genuine plot points is very enjoyable. The characters' backstory is told in flashbacks, and the first one seems so over-the-top and so social-commentary, until you get to the second flashback, which really gives grounding to the first one. I don't know, guys, it's like someone actually cared about the writing instead of just "Well, it looks cool." (It does look cool, though.) The movie opens with Sam Rockwell materializing at Norms , a Los Angeles institution, terrorizing the patrons by looking and sounding like a maniac. He's from the future and trying to gather a team to—well, not stop the AI being created a mile or so away by a 9-year-old boy, but to deliver safety protocols invented by top scientists in the future.
Experts agree: The Apocalypse can be more rewarding when shared with friends or last minute acquaintances.
Also starring some extras from "Toy Story" and the "Bad Robot" logo.
It's a message movie. The message? "We're doomed. But that doesn't mean we can't have fun!"
POV: You're in an ensemble picture. I mean, you WERE in an ensemble picture.

Portal and its sequel are pretty fun games. Short, but entertaining.
The lore is also interesting. It's implied that there might not be anyone left alive except you, the protagonist. Locked inside an underground testing facility with not one but TWO insane AIs warring against each other.

Them! was a delight, sure, but if there was a giant bug in a movie I was there. Three feet from the TV, ignoring homework and chores and the existence of everything but this afternoon's monster. The Deadly Mantis, Monster from Green Hell, The Black Scorpion, Cosmic Monsters (and who remembers that epic?), Tarantula, Beginning of the End... They just don't make 'em like that any more. The later ones like Kingdom of the Spiders, Food of the Gods, and Empire of the Ants just didn't measure up even if they did give Shatner, Robert Lansing, Jacqueline Scott, and Pamela Franklin some screen time.
But if you're up for a newer weirder bug movie, there's always Phase IV.

Did not realize there were so many zombie movies out there until I tried Tubi (free tv) and searched for an old one in particular.
Making a zombie movie must be required project for theatre schools. So many really bad ones. Watched a bunch because I had a couple weeks to kill while out of town on business.
One even had Hickok45 playing himself as 'the hero' near the very end.

"Phase IV" was a staple growing up. It was the only movie (famous Title guy) Saul Bass ever directed. It was actually pretty decent in the genre. Sorta reaching for an epic feel.
"Giant Spider Invasion" was another one, which was ... well, watch it on Rifftrax. At the time, its major attraction was spider abuse and side-boob.

Frankenstein was the fear of technology run amuck.
Dracula was the fear of snd fascination with repressed sexuality in Victorian England.
Godzilla and Kaiju were Japan and others coming to terms with the nuclear age and atomic weapons.
Why zombies now? Because they represent the fear that those around us that we know and love can instantly be transformed into mindless hate filled monsters that want to destroy us and tear down everything we have, for no reason other than their hatred of us. They have no minds, they have no reason, they have no mercy.

Eons ago ('60 or '62 and some years after) the Chicago NBC affiliate would run a couple of sf/horror flicks at 10:30 every Saturday night. Cosmic Monsters turned up fairly regularly IIRC. So did The Magnetic Monster, The Neanderthal Man, Riders to the Stars, It the Terror from Beyond Space, The Crawling Eye, and a bunch more. Combine that with the ABC affiliate doing mostly old AIP horror movies at 3:30 every weekday afternoon after school, and this kid was in heaven. Years of that made me what I am today. Whatever that is. I blame Bert I. Gordon and Roger Corman and all those guys. It's their fault.

"Arachnophobia" is fun and clichéd.
"Eight Legged Freaks," is also fun, but even dodgier. The director's strength may be in having Kari Wuhrer and 17-year-old Scarlett Johansson wearing a lot of tight shirts and shooting them in profile from close angles.
"Matinee" isn't a bug movie, but it's got a bug movie ("Mant!") in it.
The Corman roach-fest "The Nest" is entertaining trash. The '80s and '90s didn't have many bug movies, IIRC, I think because of the difficulty of doing the effects at the standard of the day.
The '70s? Hoo-boy.

It features a monster made out of carpet, a couple days before filming started, because the producer, Vic Savage, couldn't pay for the monster he commissioned. Of no surprise is Savage was sued repeatedly, and nearly was charged with fraud. For extra credit most of the dialog track was not used, lost, or damage and replaced with narrator. Rarely does cinema reach such a level. Somehow this flix makes you miss Ed Wood.

A nifty action flick, with the first third of the movie having the best vehicle chase scenes since Mad Max: The Road Warrior. The CGI portions aren't state of the art, but I got the feeling the producers knew they couldn't afford top of the line stuff, so they intentionally left them a little cheesy.
Plenty of gore, death, and destruction; mostly played for laughs. Definitely not a First Date Movie; unless your date is with Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS, in which case you have bigger problems.

The Savage Bees, The Swarm, The Bees, Terror Out Of The Sky
Four movies in two years. And they're all pretty solid "miss" material.
The Swarm was the big-budget celebrity-packed extravaganza starring Michael Caine, Olivia De Haviland, Katharine Rosse, Richard Chamberlain...Fred MacMurray, Henry Fonda, Cameron Mitchell...
Problem is, how do you bring a satisfying conclusion to a movie about a swarm of bees? Hint: Not by freezing them in the SuperDome. Wait, that was the "Savage Bees". Well, also not by luring them out to sea to burn them on an oil slick either.
There aren't a lot of great options, apparently.

My wood lathe is in storage at my brothers place along with the rest of the woodworking machines.
That bandsaw was manufactured by a guy who was investigated by the Warren commision. There were like 10 of them in a foundry I worked at and when I went to search the company I was soon immersed in Kennedy conspiracy world.

For setup you might consider a rolling cart (locking casters, of course). I made one for my scroll saw so I can put it away when not in use. My little lathe I just set on a table because I don't use it that much.
If you make a cart then during good weather you can make your messes outside.

If I were to replace it, I would get one of the smaller models, maybe 12 inch. Something suitable for turning pens and the like. It is satisfying to take a rough blank and see it take shape so quickly. It's also surprising how smooth and polished a surface can become using a lathe.

JTB, I have smoked it; that's how I know it has some nicotine strength, more than I like. And yes, it is a burley w/ some Virginia and some dark-fired Kentucky.

Expect a LOT of mess for about a 4' radius. I have mine about 16" from a wall so that I can hang tools (there will be a lot of them) and the dust collection pipe.
Build or buy a bench to give it a stable base?
Either, but go for HEAVY. Weight greatly reduces the "walking" that happens when you turn something that's not balanced.
Ideas to manage the resulting dust and debris?
A dust collection system that's not a shop vac. A shop vac grabs what's close to the hose, while a real dust collector clears the air.
Suggestions for other necessary tools, like calipers, gouges and clamps?
Things I use regularly: straight calipers, figure 8 calipers for measuring wall thickness, drill chuck for the tailstock, 4 jaw chuck for the head stock, bench grinder for sharpening gouges, gouges of course. I have straight and right angle looong reach needle nose pliers for holding sandpaper deep inside a bowl or vase.
(No need to suggest eyewear and sandpaper.)
Suggestions for types of wood to use for practice and for real?
Don't practice with cheap soft wood, because it won't help. The easiest wood I've turned in southern red cedar. Cuts like soap.

I wonder how it would do mixing it with something like Lane BCA. That flavored black cavendish adds a bit of mildness and flavor to stronger blends. I keep some on hand just for that although I enjoy a bowl by itself now and then.

That sounds like it would work great. I've never tried the Lane blends under that name. No doubt some of them were the blends Tinder Box marketed in the '80s, when I first tried the pipe.

Treated wood? Absolutely not for food crops.
If you are are making an open bottomed box (just the four sides) the treated wood is probably going to be fine for your ground-contact layer. The rest probably shouldn't be treated. Painted, maybe, especially if it's going to be in direct contact with the dirt,
My parents built some nice ones out of lumber and corrugated metal. You put together L-shaped rails for the top rim and bottom rim, posts at the corner, and use the corrugated metal for the sides, screwing it in to the post and rails.
I made a bunch of boxes by cutting notches into the edge of 2-bys, lincoln log style, that work really well, except they require a liner (road cloth works for this) to keep the soil in.

The other important tool was the shave-horse for shaping with a draw knife. I have tried to make one, but it barely worked. It is best for roughing out and finishing tool handles, and cleaning up wood shingles after splitting them out of the bolt.

My method is to do a really light pencil sketch of the subject, say, a portrait of an old man; then start with the pens, drawing the fine lines first, then building on that, smile-lines around the eyes, etc. I have fun with the level of detail, and it forces me to be more methodical.
I love the quick lines that charcoal creates; it came in handy during figure drawing classes. But ink is very calming.

Thanks for the heads up. And Stokkebye blends have become some of my favorites, especially now that the HH line is discontinued. Their Deluxe Navy Flake is excellent and the Nougat blend is what was used in the LOTR movies. It is a really pleasant smoke, mild but flavorful.

My problem with drawing is that I seem to be entirely incapable of making light sketch lines. I really do try, but end up with dark, thick lines every time anyway.

This was our Plott Hound / Pitbull mix Wiley. My wife worked with a rescue to get him out of a kill shelter where he was scheduled for euthanasia in 2015. We were able to have him with us for 11 years, during which he was a wonderful companion who loved his family. He passed unexpectedly the night before writing this and is already greatly missed. Best Regards, MauserMedicSo sorry you have lost your wonderful Wiley, in whom you invested so much love. Thanks for letting us meet him. Keep in touch.

"Calendar Girl," "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" (I prefer the original), his version of "Sunny" (I think it was the first one) . . . all good stuff. He co-wrote "Love Will Keep Us Together" for the Captain and Tennille.
He always seemed a bit effeminate in his mannerisms. But Wiki says he married in 1962.

Little Dagny has been more sociable of late. If she's curled up sleeping of an evening, I can scoop her up and put her on a cushion on my lap -- and she will happily stay quite a while for petting. Perhaps some day she will climb into my lap all by herself. Otherwise, she sits on the arm of the sofa in the morning, and sometimes in the evening, as a hint to her manservant that Food Should Be Forthcoming.

In the 30+ years we've been out here in the woods, we've had 4 cats. 3 of them have been feral. We found Mr. Rafferty ( formally Rafferty the orphan kitty) and his sibling two years ago. They had barely opened their eyes. Mom had abandoned them. We bottle fed them with goat kid milk replacement. His sibling didn't make it. He's pretty much my cat even though I didn't want another cat. He and Mrs. Sock acknowledge each other but I 'm the one whose lap he graces with his presence. He waits until I go to bed before he comes upstairs and takes up his third of the bed.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at February 28, 2026 05:05 PM (wzUl9)
He was a domestic longhair named Scarf, because when we met him at the animal shelter, he draped around our necks. He was black and white, so he could make sure his hair showed up on any color clothing, he loved our dogs, and he laid on my side right after cancer surgery, certain his purring and biscuit making would make me feel better. One of them did, I leave it to you to guess which it was. He was not smart, but he loved big. He was a good cat.

The longhairs are always the best. (I'm biased; stipulated.) He sounds much like my late Chekov -- who was never a milk-treader; none of the Siberians I've known have been. But he certainly purred.

Nazis, RINOs, Islamofascists, and Other Infiltrators Who Should Have Been Purged Long Ago Are Having a Bad Day
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡
@shanaka86 They did not bomb Iran. They waited for Iran's entire leadership to sit down in the same room and then they bombed Iran. Months of intelligence. Thousands of hours of surveillance and signal intercepts. One variable: the moment the Supreme Leader, the President, and senior military command gathered in a single location at the same time. That moment was 8:15 this morning. Daylight. Every previous Israeli strike on Iran came at night. June 2025 launched in darkness. October 2024 after midnight. Iran's entire air defense doctrine is built around the assumption that Israel attacks in the dark. Israel attacked in broad daylight because the target was not infrastructure. The target was a meeting. Reuters confirms strikes targeted Khamenei and Pezeshkian. CNN confirms months of joint US-Israeli planning. Israeli officials confirmed the strike hit the location where Iran's top officials were gathered. Whether Khamenei was moved before the strike or extracted after is the most consequential unknown on the planet right now. If before, someone inside Tehran's inner circle told Jerusalem when and where the meeting would happen. If after, the strikes hit the room and he survived. Both scenarios are catastrophic for the regime. Because Iran's leadership now knows three things. Israel knew where they were meeting. Israel knew when they were meeting. Israel knew who would be in the room. And everything we watched over the past month, the F-22s at Ovda, the tankers at Ben Gurion, Al Udeid emptied to zero, 270 transport flights, all of it was the delivery architecture for one precision strike on one gathering. Every future meeting of Iran's senior leadership now carries one question: does Israel know about this one too. This is not a military operation. This is the destruction of institutional trust inside a regime. Every general who sits with Khamenei tomorrow will wonder who told Jerusalem about today. Every IRGC commander who receives a meeting summons will calculate whether attendance is duty or a death sentence. Every secure facility in Tehran has been proven insecure. In June 2025 Israel killed 30 generals in the opening minutes. That was brute force across dispersed targets. This was a scalpel. One meeting. One moment. Months of patience. Iran fired missiles at six countries in retaliation. Most intercepted. One civilian dead from debris in Abu Dhabi. Saudi Arabia responded by pledging all its capabilities against Iran. The Gulf coalition that did not exist yesterday exists today because Tehran built it by attacking everyone simultaneously. Israel traded one morning of precision strikes for the permanent destruction of Iran's command cohesion. That is not a battle. That is checkmate disguised as a first move. https://open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans

Iran provided the IED's in Iraq and Afghanistan that killed or wounded thousands of American soldiers.
Iran supported Hezbollah which bombed the Beirut barracks killing hundreds of US Marines.
And Trump "just started a war with Iran"?
Seems like we just finally decided that, after 47 years of Iran unilaterally warring on us, it was time we joined the "war".

We have a single CinC, not 535.
Ever hear of Unity of Command? That is why Congress does not control the military. Sure, it authorizes funding and does important oversight, but Congress is not in charge of day to day operations.
Don’t tell me about the power to declare war either : that just means a foreign ambassador gets parchment and a ticket out of town to Canada or Mexico. A declaration of war is something for diplomats, not the military.
Keep on telling me you don’t know what you are talking about in the meantime.

AFAIK, the Iranian government is still claiming that he's just fine. I assume they're either trying to find a look-alike, or put together an AI generated video.
I saw where their defense spokesman said that they'd killed thousands of American troops who were invading so anything they say is pretty suspect.

Grok @grok
Reports from Reuters, Bloomberg & others: Iran's IRGC is broadcasting VHF warnings that "no ship is allowed to pass" the Strait of Hormuz after today's US/Israeli strikes. No formal Tehran announcement, but tankers are avoiding it & traffic has halted — effectively closed for now. The map appears to show current vessel positions in the area.

"So the Department of Homeland Security is currently shut down
And yet Trump has started a war of regime change against a country that is potentially capable of guerilla strikes on American soil.
According to a CBS report from a few weeks ago, "The shutdown will affect the Transportation Security Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Coast Guard, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency and other agencies within DHS that safeguard national security."
It seems to me that if you're going to start a major war with another country -- especially if you're going to force the leaders of that country into an existential crisis, meaning that literally everything is on the table in terms of their response -- it would make sense to have all those defense and security agencies operating at full strength. And yet here we are.
Of course, DHS itself, along with the rest of the Trump regime, has been describing this as the "Democrats' shutdown" because Republicans have refused to negotiate with Democrats, who simply want ICE to follow the Constitution."

Wait til you see CBC. They are busy reporting on Trump”s threat to Canadian sovereignty and his promise to make Canada the 51st state. Trump, who threatens Canadian sovereignty and has pledged to make Canada the 51st state, ordered air strikes on Iran this morning.

Iran will need AT LEAST a generation of iron hearted dictatorship to break the will of the Muslims, or it goes directly back to theocracy. They will take advantage of democracy to overthrow it, and democracies do not permit the necessary human rights abuse required for putting them in their place.

I think one of the reasons Trump noted he is putting the country in the hands of the Persians is because it will be a monoarcy, and honestly, that is what the country wants. They want the Crown Prince back. It’s hard for us to say we aren’t overlaying a democracy onto a country, you know?But they were far better off under a monarchy, they had more freedom, they were modern. I mean Tehran still is, but it’s still not the same as it was pre 1979.

Wow, good luck with that.
You and YD look at Iran with sneering condescension. They have had elections for decades - they can make elections work without help from us, the elections there were rigged because ultimately the mullahs were supreme and controlled the thing. I could see Iran going for a Constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary Majlis. The Iranians aren’t a stupid people, and they are full of people who remember what things were like before and are motivated to keep what they gained (like Eastern Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain). But we’ll see what happens. That will be ultimately for Iran to decide, as it should.

For them, all of the world's problems began in 1947 with the creation of Israel, and that America's support is the only thing keeping the country intact and able to defend itself against their hostile neighbors.
They see Muslims, especially Arabs, as their allies and benefactors. They don't support Iran so much as wish that the roles were reversed and it was Iran attacking Israel and killing all of their leadership.
That's why they never mention Iran's nuclear program.
Because they'd all celebrate if Tel Aviv was lit up with a nuke one day.

Douglas Wilson interviewed Tucker and it was revealing. Basically Tucker was all in on the Iraq war, and then became discouraged and dismayed and came to the conclusion that "some dark forces" (*sneeze*JEWS*sneeze*) were behind everything manipulating the world into war. So he's just opposed to war and considers the pernicious Hebrew to be the cause of all bad things, likely through the Rothschild family etc.

Absolutely not whatsoever. I admire their culture.
I'm looking at a country with a large population of fanatical Muslims - far too large for the carrying capacity of a representative republic bounded by the rule of law. They are totally unwilling to work with that, and they WILL tear it to shreds as soon as possible, and that would make this all for naught.
I'm looking at them with concern, not condescension. The idea that the most virulently hateful fanatics in the region are going to accept a democracy and join the CoC and the Elks Club is flat-out risible, and this retarded line of thinking has caused us and the people we've tried applying it to enormous heartache for many decades.
If you want to learn nothing from the past, that's fine, but don't be surprised when it turns into yet another horror show.

I have two degrees in history and what that teaches me is people do not have to be imprisoned by the past. You seem to suggest the opposite.
Equally risible is the idea that people, once they overthrow a detested regime, are going to meekly succumb to another dictatorship, no problem. The history of places like Eastern Europe contradict this. Or were they just more sophisticated than the Iranians somehow?
The Iranians have been having elections for years now and this time they can have actual free elections without mullah interference. It seems to me that you missed that part of goings on in Iran recently, What if they establish a parliamentary system with a Constitutional monarchy - and succeed? Boy will you be pissed,,,but it CAN happen.

US and Iran negotiators, with Oman? as an middleman had been going back and forth for days. It was apparent days ago that Iran wasn't serious about cooling their jets with regards to the public unrest. So, we took the opportunity to move everything into place... a lot of it publicly so Iran could see it, and they still said "piss off."
The meeting was likely a prelude to Iran launching a widespread attack on assets in Israel and our bases in the region.
So, we hit them first. Hard.

As a great power, the lesser powers have to actually like you. Nobody welcomes them except the thoroughly corrupt. America was heading down the same path, too. You let one NGO in with the word "Rose" somewhere in the name, and suddenly your whole nation is in a raft of shit with a bunch of perverted retard nepots rigging your elections and looking to suck everything they can out of your country.
Trump seems to be trying to undo that. It should be nice to be America's friend. Your country should get better, and richer, and free-er. You should be able to have more nice things. It should be fun to be America's friend, not a burden.

It may only take about the same amount of time, it may not. The bitter enders will flee to one of their proxy shitholes and continue making problems for the world regardless.

His slavish defense of Candace Owens gave the game away. He mocked her for being illiterate, but looked at her traffic and reconciled with her.

Once you've seen Islamic fanatics growing in their natural manure it'll disabuse you of a lot of notions about who can and can't exist in a republic.
It's not just bad. It's a horror show. And it's not because of their leaders. They were disposing of children's corpses in garbage heaps, fercrissakes. These people are not compatible with any system that values the individual and his dignity. Everything they've been taught runs counter to it.

Since the 1979 revolution, Iran's population has more than doubled from 39 million (1980) to over 93 million (2025). The society is far more urbanized (nearly 75%) and, despite being a theocracy, is highly educated, with a significant youth demographic now pushing for social change and facing high unemployment and economic pressure.
American University +4
Key changes in the Iranian population since the Shah left include:
Rapid Urbanization & Growth: The population has shifted from under 50% urban in 1979 to nearly 75% in 2017. The population more than doubled from 39 million in 1980 to over 90 million by 2025.
Demographic Shift & Aging: Although famously youthful for decades, the population is now aging, with the median age expected to rise from 27 in 2019 to 40 by 2030.
Education and Health: There has been a significant increase in literacy and, despite the economic hardships, substantial improvements in life expectancy and education.
Declining Birth Rates: After a post-revolutionary boom, Iran experienced one of the world's most successful family planning programs in the late 1980s, causing the fertility rate to drop from 5.5

Then! I started disliking him when I paid attention. Stuff he said was not ok at all and disgusting.
It ended when he wore a pearl necklace, and yes, I know what that means. However, I am a huge, huge fan of pearls and that was The End.
I guess he quickly flipped from his fake Christian side to now eeslam. If he remains a homo someone needs to give him a clue what he's cheering for. Sadly, between Monkey Pox and HIV End Stage Brain disorder it is too late for Milo.

I think strategic command at the high levels and comms were destroyed. So the missilers simply popped their missiles off to prevent them from being destroyed without regards for targets. As they popped them off, US and Israeli planes were watching and destroying the mobile launchers and teams. That is why the salvos so far have been meager and ill directed.

We got married a year after that, Paul started his professional job in 1984, we raised 4 kids (all of whom are/were past the age of 21), buried 3 of the 4 parental units, and Paul semi-retired from the job he started back in 1984.
THAT'S how long it's been. None of our kids experienced the hostage crisis - to them, this whole thing was just a footnote in their history books.

Syria, out of Russia's hands with Assad gone, they might be able to keep their port access at Tartus if they're lucky.
Venezuela, Maudro gone, the regime there seemingly going along to get along with Trump.
Cuba, on the brink due to the loss of Venezuelan oil and money.
Iran, leadership obliterated, future status uncertain but not looking good for another Russian ally.

The Russians have been buddy-buddy with the regimes in Venezuela and Iran for decades. The Russians even built Iran's nuclear power plant.
They aren't BFFs but the Russians have always sided with them at every opportunity to be a thorn in the side of the U.S. if nothing else.
What's really giving Putin indigestion is India halting oil & gas purchases once Trump put tariffs on any country importing from them.
China needs Iranian & Venezuelan oil of course, but they can get more from Russia now I suppose.

He was just turning his life around, working on his rap music, working on a community college application to study communication, in talks with sometime rival DJ Gheist to do a collab tentatively titled 2 Wyte Krew, when he got pulled over by a pig. A semantic discourse on the distinction between "driving" and "traveling" escalated into more vigorous debate, one thing led to another, and his memorial will be a private family-only affair. They hope that all his fans will respect their privacy in their time of mourning. Thank you for your understanding.

I don't normally like hotdogs that much. However, when pregnant with #1 giant son and trying to eat Mexican food every day, I loved hotdogs with everything.
My husband was in shock for most of my pregnancy, having a 10lb baby on the way...and once having frat boys moo at me. However, my eating habits were wacko.
Food was the first thing he noticed before we knew by a blood test: I was getting up at 0600 after a 3-11 shift to eat breakfast with him before his class. He said, "Something is wrong with you." Indeed. Later hearing me eating Oreos at 0200. Gimme the foods!
I never had morning sickness.

I remember being so upset when they stopped doing that - every week we would be sure to catch that segment so that we could say a prayer for each of the families affected.
I know that wasn't the purpose of them running those lists, but that's what a LOT of conservatives did. The left wanted us to be indignant at what was happening, and instead we all appreciated having specific names to pray for.
I don't think they ever understood that.

While Khamenei's writhing on the ground, Thomas Jefferson walks over and stomps on his head, shattering his jaw. "You asshole!" cries Jefferson.
While Khamenei's trying to get his feet under him Light Horse Harry Lee pulls out his sabre and runs him through a couple dozen times. "I fought fair, you coward! You targeted children!"
As another huge American stalks over, Khamenei, holding his jaw together, cries out "Wait wait!" An angel appears. "Yes?" he asks.

The angel says, "Well, you see, the Quran had a slight error when it was transcribed. It turns out that you meet 72 VIRGINIANS in the afterlife."

Even under that, Trump has Thirty Days of action. War Powers Act has never been adjudicated whether or not its provisions are constitutional. Since Trump informed the Gang of 8 before action, he has already complied with the reporting mechanism.
That being said, Congress can always pass a bill regarding stopping payment for the military action. If they dare.
Most of what Congress does now is peacock as they have neutered themselves by past laws delegating powers in vague terms. Courts are busy doing the same to its authoritah! as well. And just like that, we have created an imperial presidency because other branches are unserious assholes out to grift and pose regarding national problems.

Ali Khamenei, the bloodthirsty Zahhak of our time, the killer of tens of thousands of Iran’s bravest sons and daughters, has been erased from the pages of history. With his death, the Islamic Republic has effectively come to an end and will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history.
Any attempt by the remnants of the regime to appoint a successor to Khamenei is doomed to failure from the outset. Whoever they place in his stead will have neither legitimacy nor survival; and without doubt, they will also be complicit in the crimes of this regime.
To the military, security, and police forces: Any effort to prop up a collapsing regime is condemned to defeat. This is your last chance to join the people; to help ensure Iran’s stable transition to a free and prosperous future; and to have a share in building that future.
The death of the criminal Khamenei, while it cannot bring back the spilled blood, can serve as a balm for the scorched hearts of the grieving families; the fathers and mothers, spouses and children in mourning; and the families of the selfless martyrs of Iran’s Lion and Sun National Revolution.
Noble and brave people of Iran,

Long live Iran,

Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS. He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do. This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, "Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!" Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated.

Can you actually hit anything, or was the guidance scripted by that jackass who went to college in America and cheated his ass off just to get a gentleman's "C"? China has some great stats on the back of their card, but does it translate into Great Power kind of might?
Look at big bad Russia. Still fucking about with Ukraine five years on with nothing to show for it. It's a farce. Meanwhile America has been rearranging the whole world's face with just the tip of our capabilities. I'm starting to feel that there is no such thing as a military "peer" for America right now.

It is different. The US Constitution has a mechanism in it to add territory. The UK "Constitution" is whatever constitutes the laws and government at the moment. The Acts of Union really did create a new entity, under the same Crown, but legally speaking one thing went away and another bigger thing took its place. Northern IRL isn't just a new "state" glued on to the UK, it's a whole new kingdom. So their clock gets reset. America wins. Suck it, beans on toast.

I believe that the true foundation of our military might is the American Civilian, who (IIRC) collectively own more rifles than all the world's armies put together, including ours. As much as our own representatives screw us over, we can see that most of the rest of Europe and the Anglosphere has an outright treasonous political class, oppressing their own people as if imperial governors for some hidden foreign conqueror. I believe that our civilian guns put a limit on just how treacherous our leaders can be, which keeps our military aimed outward; there's no point in aiming it at a such a heavily armed populace, since bomber pilots, tank commanders, and generals all have to sleep somewhere.

NEW: In a phone interview moments ago with NBC News' Kristen Welker, President Trump addressed reports that Iran's Supreme Leader had been killed. When asked directly, he replied: “I’ve spoken to a lot of people beyond, and we feel certain, we feel, we feel that that is a correct story.”
NBC News: “‘The people that make all the decisions, most of them are gone,’ he said, adding that ‘a large amount of leadership’ in Iran was also killed, although he declined to go into more detail.”
“NBC News asked Trump who will next lead Iran. Trump replied, ‘I don’t know, but at some point they’ll be calling me to ask who I’d like,’ adding that he was ‘only being a little sarcastic when I say that.’”
“‘But look, it’s going very well. It’s been, you know, we’re, we’re probably in terms of zero to 10. We’re close to the 10 spot, if not there, and it’s thus far been going well, but we have a ways to go. Tremendous damage has been inflicted. The leadership is gone,’ he said. ‘Large, large portions of the leadership.’”

X is now introducing filters that include country of registration and origin which will kill off the bot farms and turd world content farming. It will allow a more pleasant viewing.
Just before this attack, an ill timed op by the Candace Ovens brigade launched an attempt to claim her critics were all being paid by Jews to attack her and instead the whole op flipped to show it was fake, gay, and indicated accounts not to be trusted.

In the current circumstances, DJT is exercising his national sovereignty to protect the interests OF the USA. What is decidely different is DJT is NOT prosecuting the old Cold ion War proxy wars (Korea, Vietnam), but instead severing the proxy connections.
This is a very interesting new paradigm as China and Russia are slowly (quickly? in international timelines) being severed from their most "reliable" proxies (Venezuela, Iran,...maybe Cuba). I'm sure other countries who have snuggled up to China/Russia are paying at least a modicum of attention (looking at Africa here).

What would you call first, taking down their attempted foothold in the Americas and second taking down their ME lapdog? Iran and Venezuela probably account for greater than half of China's oil. Xi conveniently used them as tools to undermine our country. I'm thinking Bejing is in a state of confusion it hasn't seen since Japan invaded.

Naval officers (in our world) are presumed to be gentlemen, thus the "Mr." honorific. "Miss" for Uhura or Savik.
Though I am not sure when it's appropriate to call them by rank and name. Kirk always called Sulu that or "Mr. Sulu," but when someone outside the ship referred to one of the officers like Spock, it was always "[Rank] [Name]."

Generally speaking, we called ensigns and lieutenants, junior grade, mister. Lieutenants, senior grade, were lieutenant. Commanders, lieutenant or full, were commander.
And the commanding officer of a ship is captain, regardless of rank.

The U.S. Department of State issued a “Worldwide Caution” security alert on February 28 following the launch of U.S. combat operations in Iran. The advisory states that “Americans worldwide and especially in the Middle East should follow the guidance in the latest security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.” Officials warned that travelers “may experience travel disruptions due to periodic airspace closures” and emphasized that “the Department of State advises Americans worldwide to exercise increased caution.”
The department instructed citizens to enroll in the STEP program to receive updates and to follow the “U.S. Department of State - Security Updates for U.S. Citizens” channel on WhatsApp. The department also urged travelers to carefully review official travel advisories, country information, and recent alerts before planning international trips.

Trump does something they like, but doing to makes him a "psychopath." He could literally cure cancer and they'd attack him for it.
"OMG… Trump is a psychopath- he totally doesn’t give a damn how many people he is personally responsible for killing," Navratilova wrote in response to a post by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green criticizing Trump for the strike.
Navratilova also expressed support for the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a later post.
"That would be good news," she wrote in response to an earlier news report that Khamenei might be dead.

Zanjan is 300 kilometers northwest of Tehran. It is not a nuclear site. It is not where the IRGC commands its missile forces. It is not on any published target list that any Western analyst predicted before this morning. And it is being bombed.
Ahram Online confirmed Israeli-US aircraft struck a depot site in Zanjan. IRNA, Iran’s own state news agency, reported explosions. Multiple OSINT accounts circulated footage of detonations consistent with precision-guided munitions hitting stored ordnance, the kind of secondary explosions that happen when a bomb hits a warehouse full of things that also explode.

Sunni will blow up a school by mistake because they were trying to blow up the office building next door, but they won't really mind too much.
Shia will blow up the school on purpose.

US intelligence believed there were indicators that Iran intended to use its conventional missiles, potentially preemptively, against US troops in the region - which Trump would not let happen. Iran was not willing to discuss its ballistic missile programme with negotiators.
Iran was also unwilling to address its proxy groups in the region, and was negotiating from a point of weakness following recent unrest. The US came to believe they were not negotiating seriously to approach a real deal.
The US was willing to come up with guardrails and framework for a civilian nuclear programme - as other countries do - but Iran wanted to enrich, which the US said made no sense.
Facilities in Isfahan, Natanz and Firdoo were being rebuilt after Midnight Hammer last year. The US believed that they were rebuilding manufacturing capacity - a violation of existing protocols and what the US wanted after Midnight Hammer.

Problem of being a leader with no immediate subordinates he can trust is that you have to use comms to communicate with your regime but using those comms means every chance they are compromised and lead to your demise. So stay silent and lose or start communicating and have a short time in power. His choice.
And he has his chilling reminder of what happened this morning and last summer that Israelis knew the time and place for leadership meetings which had to come from someone on the inside.

What you have to realize about establishment foreign policy is that it's no different than domestic policy. It's just a way to keep the money flowing while never solving the problem.
Trump walked and did the things they said weren't possible, and they can't handle it.

On the bright side, neither do they. That HAS to be something that worries them about Taiwan.

Insurrection Barbie
The talking points have gone out and all of the woke right received the memo overnight (everyone of them is using these talking points)
1. Invoke the name of Charlie Kirk and use his position from June to make broad sweeping arguments that he never made. Because that horrific tragedy is still fresh in everybody’s mind so we have to exploit him for clicks.
2. WW3
3. Trump/Vance is over we lost the midterms and 2028
4. Israels war
5. Iran is much stronger then Israel pretends
6. This is Iraq again
7. Deep state neocons are running Trump
8. Netanyahu and Mark Levin are running Trump
9. Any Strike Will Lead to World War III / US Military Will Be Depleted
10. The spiritual war is anti-Zionism
11. End of MAGA/Trump betrayed the base
12. Americans don’t want this war neither do Iranians
13. Iran, not having a nuclear weapon is not in the best interest of the United States of America.
The wall to wall messaging from everyone in this infrastructure will be this all day long:
Trump was deceived by neocons
Iran is not a real threat to Americans
Israel is manipulating US foreign policy

The programmes of the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to day, but there was none in which Trumpstein is not the principal figure. He was the primal traitor, the earliest defiler of the Party's purity. All subsequent crimes against the Party, all treacheries, acts of sabotage, heresies, deviations, sprang directly out of his teaching.

Like Venezuela, this is more the sort of old style regime reformation that used to be prevalent even in biblical times. We remove your piece of shit rulers and let you select new ones. But if they are trouble outside their borders, then we come back and the beating is worse than the last time.

Iran bombed US Marines not in Israel but in Lebanon. Why did Reagan send Marines into Lebanon? IIRC it was to protect the Palestinians there from the spanking they'd earned in south Lebanon (and in Israel before that, and in Jordan).
Some Palestinians might still exist who remember that Iran isn't really their friend.

It's a little amazing to me how the conventional wisdom about everything has turned out to be fake bullshit. You can just do things. And Trump has.
If the zero casualties reports check out, this is the most impressive few months for the US military since World War II.

Helps that I finally got to take my arthritis medicine again. Been off it a month. Pain is still there but lessening everyday and longer intervals between the muscle relaxers and the pain meds which sometimes messes up sleep cycles. But when I crash, I crash hard.
We will see about regaining function and strength but rehab is about two months away. Doc wants a good bond on spine for the hardware first before allowing it.

Reportedly the Ayatollah was offered amnesty and safe passage to Moscow along with a handful of top IRGC officials weeks ago and they turned it down.
Back in 2019 when Iran killed an American contractor after attacking a base in Iraq the U.S. was about to attack Iran directly under the urging of a very hawkish Bolton…. Instead they went after Soleimani instead.
This time around General “Raizin” Caine is in charge and is far more methodical. Both Iran and VZ were planned months in advance.
None of this was impulsive. This is all in service of an end objective. And the adults are in charge.

As far as I can remember there was always the Ron Paul followers who've pushed this anti-war/isolationist stance who especially blame Israel first, and reset their influence in DC.
I see this current crop of alt-righters as an extension of that.
It's gotten more refined and sophisticated, but it's still the same underlying arguments and accusations of Neo-Con/Israeli string-pulling of Trump since his first term.
They keep seeing another Iraq debacle but Trump has held steadfast about never putting boots on the ground so far so they come off looking hysterical and silly every time their predictions of WWIII fail to materialize.

The White House did not consult or notify the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer before the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran today.
Especially after earlier tensions where the UK blocked U.S. use of bases like Diego Garcia for any preemptive action.
From what we’re seeing today, the White House didn’t loop him in beforehand, and reports call it a “lack of trust” that’s showing up loud and clear. Some U.S. voices are slamming him as weak or unreliable, especially since British planes only joined defensive patrols after the fact.
It’s like the “special relationship” hit a snag.

In a post on X, Israel’s Air Force says it has completed another wave of strikes on ballistic missile arrays and air defence systems in western and central Iran.
One of the targeted sites was a missile launch site in the central Qom region, it said.
The military added the strikes on central Iran “thwarted dozens of launches” towards Israel, “and deeply damaged the regime’s most central offensive capability”."

A big hallelujah! heard from me. To you and Ben Had and runner (the comment that the Iranian Intel had been infiltrated by 21 Mossad made me laugh).
I had something go wonky with my computer and had to wait til my boss got up from his sacred nap to fix it. I can be totally tarded at times.
It is always a great day to be an American, but this was a very great day with information coming via X to y'all.
I looked at the UK DM wanting to see people marching in support but all I saw were the losers marching against. What a bunch of milqetoasties they are.
Know it is going to take a LONG time for Iran to hopefully recover and go forward without fear. Will add them to my prayers.
I do wish I'd watched the tantrums of the UN but have been busy laughing in other places.

Condoning illegal immigration, street violence, Pakistani "grooming" -- rape -- gangs, etc.
At the same time, the.UK punishes free speech. For example, following the Southport knife attacks in July 2024 -- three children killed and ten injured -- Lucy Connolly posted on X a call for "mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the b******* for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it". Sentenced to prison for thirty one months in prison.

A lot of people woke up after the 8 years between Trump's win in 2016 the '24 election.

Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, Feb. 28
It's not hard to find conflicting information about this rose on the interwebs. On the North Carolina State University page, the yellow cultivar is classified as "white". Well, it's buttery, but it's not white. Though most people can't detect a fragrance from the yellow rose. Most of the other information seems OK, and there's a wonky general video about roses, too.
Many sources say that the white cultivar is fragrant, like violets. I haven't ever been able to detect a fragrance. But this rose is recommended for Central Texas, too. I think the individual flowers on the white cultivar are more distinctive than the ones on the yellow cultivar, but people seem to grow the yellow one here and the white one in Southern California. Don't know why. Some of the roses on the plant I photographed are bigger than a quarter - not "dime-sized". Here's a close-up, with some skinny rose hips.
My daughter sent this to me and asked me to pass it on. She is a talented gardener. I am not. She has used these folks for years with great success.What a bunch of bigoted dopes. Baker Creek specializes in heirloom and open-pollinated seeds, including seeds sourced from third world countries. They have a lot of interesting plants - veggies, herbs and flowers. Check them out.
They put Bible verses in their seed catalogue this year, and did fundraising for a Christian charity in Ukraine. Because of that, there is a concerted effort on reddit and bluesky to get people not to buy from them.

I have herbs, corn, melons, green beans, carrots, leeks, some flowers and a lot of different types of chilis and I think that's enough.

I myself have cut the bottoms and slit up the sides of red Solo cups, and then put them inside of other red Solo cups to start tomatoes so I can just slide the inner sleeve out, and unroll the inner sleeve to directly plant the whole thing without messing it up any.

The front sidewalk tulip leaves are several inches high. However, the daffodils in the forsythia bed have not shown up at all - we've had crap luck with daffodils here...
Husband is starting to build a second dry-stacked stone bed to match the first one.
I decided to dig up a patch of spearmint and make up a large pot, then nuke the main area this year. The starting plant is in a multi-herb bed with dividers, but it's ignoring the dividers and causing problems. Once I'm sure the potted chunk will live, Husband will nuke the original plant. I'll move chives there next year. (The chives are in a flower bed and I'm trying to weed them so I have a clump of just chives to move next year.)
Also, I need to dig up some red penstemon by the shed, and pot that up, so we can re-do the whole path around the side of the shed.

Reactions: All the Right Nazis and Islamic Apologists Is Losing Dey Shit
Noah Pollak
@NoahPollak 1h One of Trump's greatest legacies will be how he blew up a half-century of western diffidence, restraint, and failure on terrorism. As the era of Islamic terrorism began in the 1970s, western countries (very much including Israel) spun up all kinds of pseudo-sophisticated theories and excuses to avoid carrying out the only successful policy, which is killing terrorists -- as many as you can, whenever you can. There are entire university departments, think tanks, media outlets, NGOs, foundations, and political parties devoted to promoting self-defeating, enervating fictions about terrorism designed to tie the hands of the West. We just have to live with it, deal with it, accommodate it, accept the barbarism. Terrorists have grievances. It's partly our fault, after all, because reasons. There are no military solutions. If we're nice to the terrorists they will actually help us stabilize the region. The tropes go on forever and they are invented by people who want the west to lose, and who would rather be wrong but appear sophisticated than be right and appear crude. Trump wants our side to win. The winning approach to terrorism is very simple. Bomb them to smithereens. Kill them off. Decapitate the regimes. Sanction them until they have no more money for jihad. Trump gets it, because unlike so many people in politics, he doesn't care whether Harvard likes him. Winning is going to generate a real peace dividend for America. Finally dealing with Iran -- the head of the snake -- will enable the US to step away from the Middle East. It will send a message to our adversaries that the big dog is still in charge. And very enjoyably, it will sweep aside decades of dumb elite groupthink about how we have no alternative but to cut deals with terrorists. Thank you President Trump.

@guypbenson 1h The emerging consensus among many elected Democrats is some version of: 'To be a clear, Iran's outlaw regime is deeply evil, exports terrorism around the world, pursues genocidal nuclear weapons, is drenched in American blood, and slaughters its own civilians en masse. But..."
@CAGovernor
Gavin Newsom: "The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons. The leadership of Iran must go. But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war that will risk the lives of our American service members and our friends without justification to the American people. President Trump is putting Americans at risk abroad because he is unpopular at home." "As this unfolds, California stands with the Iranian-American community in our state, recognizing they have many friends and loved ones who have fought bravely to chart their own future to end decades of state violence and denial of basic rights."

27 Newsom-- um wut?
First, he lays out the justification for taking out Irans nuclear program and leadership, and then says theres no justification and that war is dangerous. And then says he stands with the California's Iranian Americans , most of whom are there because they fled the mullahs takeover.
Maybe its his dyslexia ...

1) people opposed to taking out Iran's government because they oppose Trump and anything Bad Orange Man does is Bad.
2) people who are just stooges of the Iranian government or Muslims in general
3) people who are opposed to the use of military in any way because they think that means war, if not WW3 and forever wars in the middle east and we're all doomed.
4) people who are concerned about the legality or morality of these strikes but are generally in favor of the action because of Iran's history and actions, and extreme danger if they get nukes.
5) people who are for destroying the Mullahs and celebrate this for its hopeful outcome no matter what it takes
I am in category 4, cautiously supportive. Mostly I am in contempt of idiots who keep screaming WW3 every time we get involved with Iran at any level, and the fools like Massie who keep screaming about how its illegal to use the military in any way unless congress declares war.

In 2293, the starship USS Excelsior, commanded by Captain Hikaru Sulu, was struck by a shockwave when the Klingon moon Praxis exploded without warning, and they discover that much of the moon has been obliterated.
The loss of the Klingons' key energy production facility and the estimated 50 years until the complete destruction of the Klingon home world's ozone layer threw the Klingon Empire into turmoil.
Analysis determined that the explosion of the moon was caused by over mining and insufficient safety precautions.

It needed to be done. I don't know squat, but I know this and don't want my grandchildren to have to deal with this threat of death to America that has been simmering and boiling over since the '70's.

Yes, and they still kept trying to develop it anyway.
Then, in probably one of the most ignominious acts of a US President in history, we were largely prevented from eliminating the rat lines we knew were bringing in IED material, knowledge and fighters coming from Iran.
Let me draw it in crayon for those who can’t, or won’t keep up. Every soldier killed during Obama’s reign and subject to an ROE meant to protect Iran, not the troops, is on him and douchebags like Pfeifer.

According to the Concord Police Department, officers were called just before 7 p.m. local time after reports of an unauthorized individual causing a disturbance in the school’s dining hall.
Allman was said to be acting aggressively and 'belligerently,' prompting authorities to respond.
Allman was taken into custody, processed, and released on his own recognizance, meaning no bail was required, per the outlet. He is scheduled to appear in court for a future arraignment.
Sources indicate that Allman has no known ties to the school and that it is unclear why he was on campus, per the outlet.

Nah, the attack was fine. The problem was trying to stay there and rebuild the place. They should have stomped the place into submission, told them "don't make us come back" and walked away. None of this "you broke it you fix it" crap.

For Iran to strike civilian targets in these Sunni muslim countries around them immediately suggests they've been maintaining target lists of such things. Maybe every military does that sort of thing, but it doesn't hurt to point it out.

Candace Owens. Hmmm. Here’s how it goes. Take a woman who is mentally ill ( a genteel way of saying she be crazy ) and has a microphone and people who listen to her. Egg her on, which means giving her attention and confirming her in her delusional thinking. Throw money at her as encouragement to up the ante on her ravings.
When she finally implodes, or explodes ( pick one, it really doesn’t matter ), just shrug shoulders and find the net pawn. This IS the playbook of the Democrat Left. Incidentaly, that is the method used for making assassins and subway murderers, with a few variations.

We were having bomb drills at school and getting jittery. I decided (after not contacting Cuba) that their bombs would hit Kansas, and go right over MS. Because Kansas was the center of the USA. Sorry to Kansas, Morons, but this was my theory.
In my war room, which is just as good as Tucker's, I think Iran is doing what my Marine father would say, "Shooting their wad." Sending up boom booms willy nilly as fast and furious as possible.
Soon they will be out of ammo and missiles, one would think. Plus no one to guide them, like chimps in the missile room not knowning to miss Qatar.
I hope there are enough survivors to then take over from the mullah's and free Persia.

Good thing Iranians aren't Arabs, then. (There have been Arabic minorities before the Arab overthrow of the legitimate Iranian government but they consider themselves Iranian first) All the US and Israel have to do here is arrange a meeting between the IRGC and their 72 virgin goats, then leave. The Iranians are more than capable of sorting themselves out and Reza Pahlavi is already ready to go.

Persians have a distinguished history stretching back more than two-and-a-half millennia, including one of the more impressive empires of antiquity.
Arabs are the indigenous people of the Arabian peninsula, irrelevant to history until Mohammed united them under a new faith.

Yep. A woman scorned. SHE wanted Charlie, I think. Not just TPSUA. Violently jealous. If I had to guess I'd say she's a paranoid malignant narcissist with a personality disorder. On top of other stuff.
In nursing school, while I got an A and it was my highest score on state boards, I did not understand it and that half semester was sheer misery for me. I could not help them. I told my own paranoid schizo cousin to "get a hobby." I was kind to the patients and listened, which was all I could do.
The required nursing care plans were useless. At one chronic place for the poor elderly we were supposed to create a game for them! The only one I could come up with was dividing the men into teams and seeing who won vs them fighting over cig butts (they did this daily outside and it could be violent). We didn't present this idea to the instructor.
I far prefer the insanity of this blog.

The Daily Wire fired her while she still seemed kinda sane, my guess is that she has always been loopy behind the scenes.
Insty has a report with pictures that the IRGC tried to launch a defective missile and it fell back down onto an adjacent elementary school.
The initial reports was that it was one of our missiles. ABC breathlessly reported that we'd blown up an elementary school and killed dozens of children.

Organizers announced at least two demonstrations scheduled for Saturday in response to the strikes:
2 p.m. — Los Angeles City Hall, part of nationwide anti-war protests organized by advocacy groups
A separate demonstration planned near the Federal Building on Wilshire Boulevard
Recent rallies tied to tensions involving Iran have already drawn crowds across Los Angeles, including gatherings in downtown L.A. and Santa Monica in recent weeks.
City officials urged participants to demonstrate peacefully as law enforcement monitors gatherings throughout the day.

Yes, she was always crazy. She started a hate crime hoax in high school to randomly destroy the lives of four boys. Her "conservative conversion" story was her realizing that was a bad thing, but was honestly probably more about her brain being malleable and wanting to parrot Charlie Kirk.
Then she saw her opportunity to get more famous by trying to get close to Kanye's circle and remolded her brain to align with the schizo anti-semites orbiting him.

Replying to @_Quid_pro @MarioNawfal
Yes, reports from Reuters, Bloomberg, AP, and others confirm: Iran's IRGC is broadcasting VHF warnings that "no ship is allowed" through the Strait of Hormuz after today's US/Israel strikes on Iran.
Japanese, Greek, and other fleets are rerouting or halting; tankers are U-turning and idling outside. Major oil traders/majors have suspended shipments.
Oil spiked sharply (WTI up to ~12% intraday from Friday close per market data). Effectively closed for now due to the risk.

Posted by: The Unvaxed and Unmasked Ranger - Where Are My Keto Cheetos at February 28, 2026 01:14 PM (REq0p)
Persians are literally Caucasian and Aryan (where Iranian comes from), although the latter is more of a lingua-cultural group. They are in some ways more similar to Northern Indians (who are also Caucasian and Aryan) than to their Arab neighbors, who are Caucasian and Semitic. (Southern Indians are more South Asian.) Here is the most important thing to remember:
Migration == War
The history of the whole world is one of waves of migration of different groups, which is indistinguishable from war on their predecessors in their destination, with different levels of success in different places and times, based on particular unique circumstances. So, all types of people are very unevenly mixed, sometimes even purged and then re-mixed.
It's complicated.

"The US-Israeli attack on Tehran on Saturday marks a turning point for President Donald Trump, who is wagering that a war - the kind of which he once vowed NOT TO START - will strengthen his second-term agenda.
In a break from his campaign promises to keep the US out of foreign wars, Trump decided to attack - despite what Arab mediators described as significan progress in nuclear talks with Tehran, and in the face of polling showing MOST Americans oppos fresh military action.
It came less than two months after he order a high-states US military raid inside Venezuela, another signal that his second term has tilted toward muscular intervention abroad.
The Iran strikes are the biggest gamble yet for the US leader, whose approval ratings have plunged in recent weeks, with surveys showing Americans think he is concentrating too much on foreign policy and too litte on the economy."

There was an interesting article... a month or more ago where someone was saying that the Iranian military is not what we think of as far as a military- it is ALL terrorists and guerillas. It is made for terror tactics and suppression- that's it. So you pretty much have to remove ALL of it in order for a new government to have a chance.

The flying monkeys around Tuca, Candace Ovens, and the rest of the putrid anti-semite influencers online and on X make me viscerally angry and disgusted that they can go so low.

The thing about terrorists and guerillas is that they don't fare very well without the support of the population (fish / ocean, some assembly required). I'm quite sure that any of the holdovers from the IRGC are now trying to purge their history of any association with the regime. The people are not going to be in a forgiving mood.

assuming we don't try to occupy the place, and potus has never given any indication he would ever do that, this could be a huge win.
i'll also say, potus is pretty good about making military engagements fast enough the left and the media (but i repeat myself) don't have time to trot out all the usual bullshit. by the the time the pink hats are mobilized its all already over.

This is a good point.

I haven't seen any opposition/resistance leaders who might be ready to step into the huge void this will create. Obviously the person(s) who might take over wouldn't have stuck their neck out before now, given what Khomeini et al have been doing to protesters lately.
Hopefully we have been working behind the scenes to get Iranians in place who want to do some good in that country. Otherwise, we may see someone worse than those we just took out step into the power vacuum that was just created.

However with no weapons in the hands of the civilians even two or three regime loyalists with automatic weapons can slow down the revolt.
I really think we need to get weapons into the hands of Iranian citizens.
Here's an out of the box thought, Afghanistan is now at war with Paki. The Taliban have mountains of small arms and ammo from Slo-Joe's bugout. They probably at this point need support and parts for the heavy weapons needed against the Paki's army and air force.
So if they transport thousands of small arms and millions of rounds of ammo across the shared border with Iran; they get our assistance to help them and Pakistan murder each other.

I hope they're well read on the history of US neoconservative military intervention in the middle east. some Iraqis were initially excited about the US invasion of Iraq, too, but that quickly changed. Rarely does regime-change work well for anyone.
Why do people think its America’s place to save Iranians from their police who are gunning civilians down in the streets when this is exactly what Americas “police” have been enjoying with impunity for years?
The US and lots of Far Right rich dudes are funding far right movements and bot farms to influence Europe. Can't trust anything on Reddit or social media.
Don't forget Israel, these two actors are selling us a world via their bot networks that doesn't exist. The vast majority of people don't want this war, the polls are clear on that.

This is great. Iranian people will finally have the chance to throw off the tyranny of Islam.
Meanwhile, over the past 20+ years, Muslims have invaded the UK, Europe, Canada and the USA and have taken over those countries.
Short of complete remigration of all Muslims from all Western nations back to the Middle East, Islam will continue conquering the West.

A warning to Americans about living under Sharia Law from a woman who used to live in Iran
- “In Iran, you can get arrested for walking a dog and then they can take your dog away because according to Islam, dogs are najis, which means unclean
- In Iran, you will get arrested. Not can, will if you're a female solo singer, it is against the law
- I Iran, not that you have to wear hijab, but if your hijab is not to the liking of the regime forces, they can push you forcefully into a van and take you to jail. And then things that happen in those jails, let's just say that they're not ethical
- In Iran, you are not allowed to change your religion or choose your religion. If you do so, you will be executed
- In Iran, they would line us up as children force hijab on us and force us to chant Death to America. I wouldn't call that school. I would call that a cult that is trying to brainwash children into a terrorist mindset.

This is a Lieutenant speaking verbatim at the new concocted Ramadan Crescent Lighting ceremony at One Police Plaza:
"So awareness is really mostly for non-Muslims. So we know it's NOT a part of Islam, but again, we're doing just awareness for the non-Muslims to show them this is a holy month for us, that we're fasting, we're praying, we're in a spiritual month."
THEY ADMITTED IT OUT LOUD:
This isn't a religious requirement in Islam - It's a manufactured outreach to "educate" and normalize Islam
Targets EVERY non-Muslim cop, civilian, and visitor

Not injured. Not relocated. Killed.
The assessment is not based on satellite imagery. It is based on human intelligence sources inside the Iranian regime. The same sources that told Israel when the leadership gathering would happen. The same sources that provided the timing for an 8:15 a.m. daylight strike that broke every pattern of every Israeli operation against Iran in history. Israel did not bomb a building and hope. Israel struck a specific room at a specific time because someone inside that room’s security perimeter told them exactly when to strike.

I seem to recall seeing some photos a year or two ago of these vast, underground storage facilities where Iran had their missiles stored. Huge. They'd load the missiles onto mobile launchers and drive them up to the surface, launch and then go back for another round.
I think our USAF and the IAF are doing a modern version of the "Scud Hunt." Orbit the storage facility with attack aircraft, a launcher appears... boom. This could go on for weeks. Unless the storage facilities are hit with MOAB's. Which is probably likely once the locations are pinpointed.

So what, exactly, do the Iranians have to lose?
And if you had an knowledge of the history of the region you'd know that large numbers of Iranians fought in the regimes wars in the last twenty years. They have handled guns. And right now they need guns.
And even for those with no experience it's better to armed when the death squads come for you then not.

The iranians being propped up but in bad odor benefited I would say China the most. So much of this seems designed (Ukraine, Iran, Venezuela) to be able to let them buy oil at cut rate prices vs the rest of the world.
Odd, Trump seems to be trying to cut off all these supplies. Weird.
My point being is that if Tucker was being paid (and I still think this is like drugs or a tumor, but he can also be being paid) then it would also make sense for him to be being paid ultimately by China.

I don't think Levin has the "juice" to lead us into anything. I haven't listened to him in years, but my recollection is he was a little neo-conny when it came to using military force abroad, ESPECIALLY regarding Iran. In this case, it aligns with Trump (obviously), but I think it's fair and accurate to say he's frequently in favor of force against Iran.

That's only immediate control. Everything else operates out of an Air Operations Center. It takes a lot of work to build and assign target lists and plan aerial refueling and waves of aircraft. We've had an AOC in Qatar for a long time now. It runs the "air war" in all of CENTCOM.
Also, the aircraft would be Airborne Warning And Control System (AWACS) aircraft or Airborne Battlefield Command Control Center (ABCCC) aircraft. Just to put a name on them.

I admit it would have been fun to have kept the ayatollah alive, and then when there was a Victiry Parade in DC Trump’s car could tow a little cage on wheels with the ayatollah in it. And you could pass out rotten fruit so the spectators could throw something at him.

It would be an unmitigated disaster for EVERYBODY. If change comes in Iran sui generis, no one can argue against it. Granted, we have a bombing campaign right now to encourage regime change, to use a term from the aughts, but if it nonetheless comes from within, no one can come along later and say "You're just an American puppet". Then, positive change can happen and true freedom can come to Iran, and might lead to them being a force for good in the Middle East.

Iranian propaganda predictably blames U.S.A. and Israel:
Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa
The United States of America and Israel has just bombed a school full of students in Iran.
~40 students killed and 48 injured.
This violates Article 52 of Additional Protocol (I) Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to the U.S. and Israel.

I don't view it as doing Israel's bidding. Everyone in the region viewed Iran as a destabilizing threat...to everyone. Retards like Obama tried to fake-negotiate the threat away. Trump used the opportunity of popular uprisings to end the regime, either organically or through our military assistance.

Admittedly, a lot of people are going to say that, anyway. But we provide them no obvious evidence if we make the point of "You take care of this. We were glad to get things rolling" and it becomes the standard leftist, anti-American noise, is all.
If the Iranians install a new government, they have incentive to fight back against that "American puppet" argument.
The one thing I've argued we should offer up (after a new gov't is put in place) is engineering support for getting them some water and maybe shoring up Tehran. Otherwise let them do it on their own.

I don't view it as doing Israel's bidding. Everyone in the region viewed Iran as a destabilizing threat...to everyone. Retards like Obama tried to fake-negotiate the threat away. Trump used the opportunity of popular uprisings to end the regime, either organically or through our military assistance.

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
[There is something dreadfully wrong when you can see the bottom of a coffee cup.]
2) Be exceptional, don't be Pretti Good.
3) Running with sharp objects will result in permanent record activity.
4) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 12/20 – Morgan, longtime lurker, takes tango lessons from Sebastian, whose son, Matias, is recovering from brain surgery. The MRI was read on 12/19, and the surgeons did not remove the entire tumor. Even though the biopsy indicated the tumor was benign, the boy is probably facing several rounds of chemo. Please pray for the boy’s continued recovery in El Salvador.
1/10 Update – Matias will have surgery in 2 weeks to try and remove the rest of the tumor, and then he will receive radiation therapy.
2/7 Update – Matias came through the second surgery, and was waiting for another MRI before he can start radiation. He has lost weight due to constant vomiting and didn’t sleep for 4 days, but he is sleeping better now and is able to keep food down. He and his parents are really struggling, though. 1/6 – Diogenes requested prayers for his best friend since college, who was diagnosed with cancer. Within hours or hearing this, the friend’s son, a man that Diogenes has known since he was a baby, collapsed from what appears to be a brain tumor. The prognosis isn’t hopeful. Please pray for both of these fine men.
1/23 Update – Diogenes’ best friend’s son Sean had emergency brain surgery. The labs are back and it’s not good news. He has stage 4 brain cancer. They were scheduled to meet with an oncologist on 1/26 to determine the best pathway ahead for the time he has remaining. This is just crushing news. Thanks to all the Horde for their prayers and support for this fine young man.
2/11 Update – Sean has not started brain cancer treatments yet. There are still some issues to work out. But he had more bad news when his wife’s sister was hit by a truck on 2/10 and is in critical condition (broken back, severe concussion, bleeding on the brain). Diogenes asks for anyone in the Horde to speak up if they know of any support groups for people in Sean’s situation. Thanks in advance. 1/8 - Doof asked for prayers for his mother. She was hit hard by the flu. She couldn’t get out of bed the morning of 1/8 and was sent by ambulance to the hospital. She is alert and communicating but prayers are appreciated for her recovery. Prayers are also appreciated for Doof, as he absolutely despises hospitals.
2/18 Update – Mom was moved to a different facility on 2/12. She is still receiving post-hospital rehab, but this place also has long term care and assisted living options, so more robust care is available. She is happier there and is improving daily. She still has a long way to go, so continued prayers are much appreciated! 1/24 – Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd posted some updates and requests. In the blessings department: blood glucose has continued to fall, well within normal range. BP is good. The hole where his molar used to be is coming along nicely. The youngest has jaw surgery coming up in February. This is many years in the making and should correct her bite and ease the pain in her jaw and ears. She’s not looking forward to the liquid diet, but is looking forward to the pain relief. Prayers are always appreciated, and based on what they have been through, he knows they are efficacious.
2/7 Update – He does not have any pain related to his lost molar anymore. And his (adult) daughter’s jaw surgery is scheduled for 2/9. She will stay overnight at the hospital in Ann Arbor.
2/14 Update – His daughter’s jaw surgery seems to be fully successful, thanks be to God. She is recuperating rapidly, the swelling is sharply down, and she’s counting the days to getting off the liquid diet. 1/30 – Bulg could use prayers after a distressing medical incident. His heart was racing and he was too weak to even really walk. His doctor thinks it might be AFib; he is wearing a heart monitor to gather more information, and he needs to keep a diary of any other heart-related incidents. Prayers are much appreciated.
2/6 Update – Bulg had two prayers of thanks. The first was that he had a good phone conversation with his sister, from whom he had been estranged for 20 over years. The second was that he does not have AFib. 1/31 – George V asked for prayers for his wife. She needs a heart valve replacement but first needs a heart cath to assess the valve and determine the replacement procedure and perhaps put stents in the coronary arteries that may be partially blocked. Also, the preliminary CT scan of her heart showed spots on her lungs that may be cancerous.
2/21 Update – The prayers are working. Thanks be to God and everyone who prayed. The heart cath showed no blockages in her arteries. The heart valve procedure will be in about 4 weeks. The pulmonologist said the lung spots have a very low chance of being cancerous, but a second scan will tell for sure. So far good news, and thanks to all who prayed for her. 2/4 – BifBewalski posted that it has been a little over a year since he took Smash to the ER for abdominal problems. After a full year of insurance BS, specialists, and other doctors visits, she has been taken back for abdominal surgery today. Please offer a prayer for her successful procedure and a speedy recovery.
2/7 Update – BifBewalski brought Smash home from the overnight stay in the hospital. She is recovering well. The post-surgery fever broke and the pain is minimal. A full recovery is expected. Thank you for the prayers – it truly makes a difference! 2/7 – Frankie asked for prayers for her godmother, Linda, who has been in declining health and recently had to move to a care facility. 2/7 – Vmom deport deport deport requested prayers for her hubby, who has had the coughing crud since 2/2.
2/14 Update – Vmom also asks for prayers on behalf of her husband, as his employer is expected to file for Chapter 11. They are hoping for a decent severance. 2/11 – Bluebell sent an update from grammie winger: "I've finished my 6th round of chemo. Thursday (Feb. 12) I will meet with the surgeon who will decide if surgery is an option for me. If not, I'm not sure if there's a Plan B. Maybe more chemo? Ugh - it's already deteriorated my vision and hearing. Nasty stuff. But it's all in the Lord's hands. I don't know how people who don't have faith do it. I miss Ace but it's something I have to set aside for now. I love each and every one of you. Even the trolls. LOL" 2/11 – Joe Kidd sent an update related to his friend, Bill, who we prayed for in December. Bill’s former girlfriend had passed away, and Bill and the girlfriend’s family were devastated by the loss. Bill has sold the house he (and the girlfriend) had lived in, and sent half the proceeds to his former girlfriend’s family. Just recently, Bill took early retirement to care for his 90 year old mother. Joe Kidd sends thanks. If you know, you know. 2/13 – Whigwife posted that Whig made it through surgery and was resting comfortably. 2/14 – TCN in Alaska asked for advice. She is currently allowing her son, his girlfriend, and their infant to live in a condo she owns, and they are providing a terrible environment for the baby: pot-smoking, booze, no food, no formula. TCN in Alaska asked for advice about how to handle the situation. Prayers would help. 2/14 – L gave an update on her brother Ron. He has been in declining health for the last 6+ months, and has been transferred to a nice facility for hospice. They had been discussing this possibility for months. He would make improvements, then relapse, each time ending up more disabled. The best part is that he is at peace with the decision. He is aware enough to assist with the final plans and is enjoying parceling out his remaining possessions to family and friends. L’s daughter’s cardiac recovery continues. L says she cannot thank all sufficiently for the many prayers. 2/19 – mindful webworker requested prayers for his wife. Milady Jo will be having surgery on 2/26. It should be outpatient, and then a couple of weeks of recovery. Prayers are welcome for her, her surgeon, and her hapless husband while she’s down.
2/26 Update – The surgery is for Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartomak (REAH) – basically a blocked up nose. It’s relatively rare. It took a while to find an ENT whose diagnosis and surgical recommendation gave confidence. The surgery should improve her life greatly. It is scheduled for 1 pm. 2/20 – Gouveneur Morris requested prayers for herself as she has surgery scheduled for 2/27 for spondylolisthesis. 2/21 - Skip asked for prayers for his sister and her two children, as they grieve their husband/father. The memorial service was on 2/21. 2/21 – Vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for Gerry and Cathy, the elderly parents of her co-worker, B. Gerry and Cathy are in failing health, and B is bravely trying to keep them cared for and independent while also being a mom to her own kids. 2/21 – San Franpsycho requested a prayer for complete and immediate healing for PS, his oldest living relative, who is back in the hospital due to post-surgery fever and possible pneumonia. 2/21 – Sock Monkey asked for prayers of comfort and peace for Rickb223, who recently lost his wife to cancer. It was apparently a long battle and he was her primary caregiver. He is struggling. Please pray for him. 2/25 – LinusVanPelt posted a request for prayers for himself. He had a health scare and it’s freaking him out a bit. He had a real thing happen, and then received a clean bill of health, but has 2 more doctors to see. He can’t stop irrationally worrying that they’re going to say bad stuff (despite the real reason for the visits is to adjust medication levels). 2/25 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted that she might need some prayers. Her PET scan was less than encouraging. She will have more information on 2/26. 2/25 – Robert posted that he needed an ‘Ette to kindly bash his brains in. He is suffering yet another massive gout flare up, and needs someone to end it all for him. He asks for an ‘Ette because he knows women are capable of inflicting great violence with only love in their hearts. 2/26 – Farmer could use some prayers. A biopsy is scheduled soon. The dentist said he found a couple of suspect spots. After having had prostate cancer, anything like this really alarms him.

UN urges all parties to ‘see reason’ as Iran-US conflict flares
By AFP
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
The United Nations’ rights chief, Volker Turk, deplores Saturday’s strikes in the Middle East and urges all parties to return to negotiations, saying attacks will only result in “death, destruction and human misery.”
“I deplore the military strikes across Iran this morning by Israel and the United States of America, and the subsequent retaliatory strikes by Iran,” Volker Turk says in a statement.
“As always, in any armed conflict, it is civilians who end up paying the ultimate price.”
My community note.
And yet curiously Volker is not put out by 50000 Iranians being put to death merely for opposing the homicidal Iranian Regime nor its countless civilian victims of terrorism and warfare that Iran has caused in the Middle East over the decades since being in power.

Early battlefield snapshot:
Iran has fired roughly the same number of missiles toward U.S. bases in the Gulf as it has toward Israel.
About 25 toward Israel so far in very limited salvos.
Reporting in Israel indicates:
• One direct hit on a residential building in a settlement
• The remainder intercepted or reduced to shrapnel
• No disruption to Israeli military operations
If this holds, a more sobering conclusion emerges:
Missile quality and targeting effectiveness appear constrained.
Interception rates are high. Strategic and military infrastructure remains intact. There is zero evidence of degraded Israeli or US command in the region.
In short, Iran’s missile campaign is not translating into any kind of operational leverage. Rather it looks like potentially a final thrashing out at it's neighbors as it's limited capabilities are simultaneously revealed.

"In order to get elected BarackObama will start a war with Iran" - Trump, Nov 29, 2011
"Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike on Libya or Iran. He is desperate." - Trump, Oct 9, 2012, (and many more)
Funny thing is obama, for all his faults, did actually negotiate a deal with iran that was working then trump came and ruined it like he does everything else.
He's 80 years old, dying, suffering dementia. He literally has nothing to lose. The video Trump released was essentially Bush’s Iraq War speech but, y’know, dumber.
We don't have money for healthcare or cancer research, but we have infinite money for war. Infinite money for Israel’s conflicts. Remove aipac from US politics. It’s long overdue
They love starting wars on a Friday. And just like Russia they do it right after the Olympics. This authoritarian playbook is getting its mileage.
It must be so freeing to be a spineless, morally bankrupt, hypocrite conservative. Fucking cultist losers.

From Abu Ali on Telegram:
“It's no secret that the Iranians knew the war was about to break out. They prepared thoroughly. They had a general idea of what was going to happen and spent a long time preparing a counterattack.
Things to pay attention to:
It took them at least two hours, if not more, to respond to the attack – this indicates difficulty in carrying out the initial response they had planned.
As of now, the scope of launches toward Israel is lower than expected.
In my assessment, the initial opening strike by the US and Israel was aimed at paralyzing Iran's air defense systems and eliminating senior officials.
The heavy strikes phase has not yet begun.
The use of heavy American bombers will start after a thorough clearing of the Iranian air defense systems – we are not there yet.
There is something to wait for.”

But if it comes to war, he's going to just keep tightening the screws, and move stuff around, which forces the enemy to remain on high alert for weeks, inevitably resulting in fatigue.
When they start to show signs of weariness, then things can begin. This also gives us time to fully map out their posture, positions and vulnerabilities and move in specialized equipment to take advantage of it.

"IDF footage shows strikes on Iranian soldiers preparing missiles
By Emanuel Fabian
The IDF publishes new footage showing strikes against Iranian soldiers preparing missiles and against a primed launcher in western Iran.
The military says it has neutralized “many” ballistic missile launchers that were ready for immediate attacks on Israel.
In addition, the Israeli Air Force struck soldiers in Iran’s ballistic missile unit as they were arming a launcher in western Iran, the military says."
You can see the videos on Times of Israel live blog. Well recommended btw. Al Jazera live blog which is surprisingly free of their bloviations on tv is also worth reading as both update as new info comes out. Al Jazzy better for vapid Euro and world reactions by people that should know better along with damage to Arab nations around the conflict.

Problem is that their comms are also compromised which probably results in the personal meeting strategy in secure bunkers the main option left.
Iran is has a screwed up form of government which requires coordination over a bunch of different power blocs--the mullahs, military, the IRGC, etc. for any action and that means meetings and comms are the only ways to carry those out.

The business with Chagos proves that Starmer actually wants nothing less that the complete destruction of the UK. He wants to get rid of Diego Garcia and Gibraltar. The Falklands are probably on the list as well. It doesn't matter what the locals think, he wants to go into the history books as the man who reduced Britain to a tiny, peripheral power from the 14th Century.
In fact, the locals being angry is catnip to him, because he hates "imperialists" and loves their pain. He is a demonic creature who enabled rapists because he hates his country and wants to abolish it.

I have come to the conclusion that most of world 'government' simply do not want problems solved because they would then lose their worthless jobs and bennies. So instead, they bloviate and burble platitudes while people die, nations go to war, and tyrants kill. Their inevitable call is moah diplomacy, moah junkets needed for muh diplomacy, moah money spent on useless attempts to buy peace by the US mainly, and so on.
They have no truth nor principles in them and thus their failures have caused force and power to be the only real things in international law. China seizes islands despite the Int. Court of Justice because it can and the Intl community runs and hides. Russia invades Ukraine because it can, and again, the Euros run and hide that pushed Ukraine to join Nato giving casus belli to Putin.
I am sick of the entire international 'community' and they can bugger right off along with their useful idiots in the US.

"Israel “assesses” that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was likely killed in an Israeli strike earlier today, Channel 12 says, citing unnamed Israeli sources. It says there are “growing indications” to this effect.
There is no official confirmation of the report.
The TV station had minutes earlier said the Israeli assessment was that Khamenei was “hurt at the very least, ” and that this was not an assessment based on satellite imagery showing Khamenei’s presidential compound being flattened, but rather on information from unnamed sources.
Khamenei is reportedly expected to deliver an address shortly. The TV report suggests that, if so, it was recorded in advance.
Channel 12 also reports that the strikes today have caused “very significant harm” to the leadership of the Iranian regime and its military commanders."

Operation Eagle Claw showed that you can't solve a systemic decline in readiness with a sudden burst of energy. Long-standing problems require comprehensive solutions.
Trump holding back is partly because of this. With each campaign, he has to ensure that everyone is up to speed, and it takes time to flush all the DEI losers out of the chain of command. Units have also been chronically understrength for years, and recruits who signed up after he was elected are only now fully trained up and ready to perform.

I get the point you are trying to make, but the 1930s are not the only decade of international relations in world history. I would love to see a total ban on ALL references to that decade. Most people have no idea what they are talking about and while the League of Nations failed, Churchill realized it wasn't because of the organization, it was because the British were utter pussies and wussed out to such an extent that they dragged the French down with them.

Once the League blinked on Italy taking on Ethopia and Japan taking over Manchuria, the demise and uselessness of the organization was apparent.
The Kellogg Briand Pact was also abject stupidity as was the 1922 Washington agreements on naval ships post WWI.
All international organizations break down over time because interests of nations are more important in the end than some diplomatic agreement contrary to a nation's current interests.
It just happened that the League broke down faster than something like the Concert of Vienna.

There was a buzz on Twitter the other day about how Candace Owens' critics were accused of being paid to attack her, a hoax that blew up immediately when the legal notices for defamation suits began to pile up.
What is interesting is not only who were targeted, but who managed to fly beneath the radar, that is nominally religious conservatives who neither amplified her, nor condemned her, but rather just kept quiet. I think those are the most spineless of the bunch.

Right, but "the League" didn't blink, Britain did. The UK was the only nation that could enforce an embargo on Italy. Similarly, it was the only nation that could apply direct pressure to Japan.
The Concert of Vienna had more distributed power and touched on more vital interests, so sending troops to aid each other in putting down the '48 made collective action easier. Russia was a rival to Austria, but did not want revolution there, so was willing to be the Gendarme of Europe.
Britain in the 1930s was uneasy with being a Great Power, and sought to avoid any responsibility. They got what they asked for.

We are effectively eliminating leadership, IGRC capabilities and assets. IGRC has also been reported to have dispersed in order to ensure survivability. I am also hearing that whatever Iraqi militias are still in country, the ones largely killing protesters, have also been targeted. If I were king, I would be smoking those f’r’s in Iraq too. Just to make sure the neighborhood gets cleaned up.
Overall, it’s pretty hard to assess what OPFOR has the capability to step in. The opposition doesn’t seem well organized. I’m sure the Agency and Mossad have a plan, but I would love to know what that is.
While Iran isn’t Iraq, the first couple of days when we road into Baghdad, people were cheering. By the next week, a lot of that reversed.
Anyway, the battle plan seems to take into account most of the lessons learned. But the next week or so should be interesting. YMMV.

The key to Japan's revival is a reassertion of national pride and the reestablishment of Samurai culture. The one thing people don't talk about is that low birth rates also correspond with the collapse of the warrior ideal. Men lose themselves in porn and screens and women lose respect for them.
Recreating a culture of honor, martial pride and proper patriarchy (no women in combat) can turn this around.

In Iraq as in Afghanistan, the smart move was to wreck the joint and leave, installing a strong man and leaving it up to him. The problem was that a bunch of our leaders got hard-ons over the occupations after WW II and saw it as a way to finally boost the defense budget back to Cold War levels.

Britain was broke and its military by the 1930's was a shadow of what it was only a few years ago. It simply was not what it was before WWI. At the time, Britain was dealing with the Great Depression, isolationist (and pretty well deserved isolationism after the debacle of WWI), and problems throughout its colonies.
It simply was a pipe dream to think Britain would challenge Japan over Manchuria or Italy over Ethiopia when only a few years before Britain itself was engage in the Boer wars to bring in South Africa, etc. Colonialism made it difficult to bring others to book for the same thing.

FDR had an election coming up, neutrality laws passed by congress and signed by him, and lots of speeches how nobody is suggesting getting involved in any foreign wars. They tried “cash and carry”, and Lend Lease. Nobody wanted to get involved in another 2.0 world war, predictively. “Can’t they just kill each other?” is not a new observation

How do you see things playing out in the absence of that agreement? I think it's one of the few examples that largely worked. The naval arms race was getting crazy prior to that.

Japanese cheated from the very start with no repercussions same as the Germans soon ignored the Versailles Treaty. At the time, US policymakers were still worried about Britain's naval power more than the Japanese.
Basically both the national interests of Britain and US were served when both wanted to cut military spending but the Japanese did not see the agreement as corresponding with their national interests and ignored it. Same as League of Nations, etc.
You can only negotiate contracts in good faith with those that want to keep them. That is true whether you are dealing with people or nations. Those who view their own wants as premier whether people or nations will do so.
Iran is a classic example. Criminals on parole or probation are others. They will keep to the agreements made only as far as as someone is willing to use force to make them keep to their word. Sad and cynical but that is the history of the world.

I don't think that's accurate. They tried to exploit some loopholes, which netted them nothing but useless ships. They didn't start cheating in earnest until after the London agreements. And perhaps the London agreements were a bad idea.

Even within Islam it's in the minority, being predominantly Shia Islam instead of Sunni. Iran has very, very few allies that are also Shia Islam.

Loopholes by definition is cheating. Japan had no intention of ever limiting its navy if it felt it needed to do otherwise. Ditto for its army actions in Korea and Manchuria, later China. They did not see the treaty as in their interests and had to be forced more or less to agree to something by force majeure at the time.
Treaties are only followed by nations if it meets their own interests and ignored when no longer useful (even before the ink is dry). ABM treaties are another example.
Simply put, reliance on scraps of paper only work if the people or nations (like a marriage for example) want them to work. Most of the world runs on agreements being expedients until you have the power to get what you want.
Starry eyed idealists believe that agreements create reality. I don't.

I think that indicates a headless military establishment that is letting junior commanders of missiles target without any strategy behind it. Hitting the various nations like Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Kuwait etc. with one off missiles is basically insulting them without the power to destroy them. Very bad strategy when Iran needs every friend it can get right now. And dickless European and UN twats don't count.

This is where Xi ruining his own military high command recently has created his own problems. And if Iran is no longer a secure oil source, then it makes for severe logistics problems for invading Taiwan by 2027. If Xi does react, the problem for him is that Scotus just handed the president through its tariff case the ability to shut down all imports and exports to China just as long as he doesn't use the IEDPA to tariff them.

This is where it hurts China for Xi to have taken out almost all of the top level experienced leadership over the last year. The people who’ve taken over those jobs are all going to be keeping their heads low and very risk averse, hoping that they won’t be next.

Targetting is a matter of putting coordinates into the missile. Strategy is something else. What I am saying it that without a head establishment, the missile launchers are simply sending everything up with the coordinates rather than conferring with senior staffers to send those with a strategy. Attacking everything in the region only dilutes the attack and pisses away any chance of 'winning' in the strategic sense. The Saudi hit for example means that Saudis have now along with the emirates announced that they can hit back (and in real terms lets Americans use Saudi bases to hit the Iranians without causing the populace to be riled up). That ain't the way for Iran to win an asymmetrical war.

Watersheds around the rim of the San Luis Valley including the San Juan mountains toward Wolf Creek Pass (way up on the Great Divide) and theSangre De Cristo mountains on the east side (down near Great Sand Dunes Nat'l Park). Wolves have also been detected in watersheds that drain toward Pueblo and Colo Spgs. This is quite close to our summer place.

"Macron says ‘dangerous escalation must stop’
We have just received a statement from Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, who says the outbreak of war between the US, Israel and Iran “has grave consequences for international peace and security”.
“The current escalation is dangerous for everyone. It must stop,” he said.
“At this crucial moment, all measures are being taken to ensure the security of our national territory, our citizens, and our assets in the Middle East,” added Macron, noting that France stands ready to deploy “the necessary resources to protect its closest partners, should they request it”.

Andreas Krieg, associate professor in security studies at King’s College London, says there is a “key element” missing from Israel’s and the US’s plans for regime changes, which includes troops on the ground.
“The Israeli’s think they can mobilise a very alienated aggrevied Iranian population to take action against their own regime. I don’t see any way that can actually happen becuase their isn’t a coherent, consolidated oppostion or weapons that are being distributed,” Krieg told Al Jazeera.
“So basically this is a remote standoff airpower led campagin that can maybe lead to degradation. But actually without seizing ground and holding it, there is no way the regime is just going to collapse and dissapear,” he said.
Krieg explained that the US will “run out of steam” after it completes its target lists, “which can likely come in a few days”.

IDF says it planned campaign over months, caught regime by surprise
By Emanuel Fabian
The IDF provides new details on its simultaneous airstrikes this morning targeting senior Iranian political and military officials at several locations in Tehran.
The military says it developed the plan over months, and it included a major intelligence effort led by the Intelligence Directorate to “identify an operational opportunity at the moment when senior regime officials would convene.”
The IDF says a decision was made to carry out the strike in the morning, rather than at night, despite Iranian preparedness. The IDF says it succeeded in “achieving tactical surprise for the second time,” referring to its opening strikes during June 2025’s 12-day war."

Reminds me - The old name for the head of the Navy (prior to 7 December 1941, Pearl Harbor) for Commander in chief US was abbreviated “CINCUS” which was perhaps a little too on the nose.

Not really. What happened to that CNN war slut?
Shaw famously nuked the Dukakis campaign, basically. He was known for being a bit provocative. Right out of the gate during an interview, asked ole Mike if he would be in favor of the death penalty for the perp if his wife Kitty were raped and murdered. Dukakis gave some rambling academic cerebral response that didn’t sound too promising for Kitty. It was a bullshit question probably, but he could have handled it better.
One reason I’m sure why all political events and interviews on the left are total hollywood productions now, completely scripted and carefully choreographed. Trump knew how to break through this nonsense.

Islam needs to reform to allow exegesis of the Koran. This would allow Muslims to separate the political from the spiritual, negating the more bloodthirsty provisions of Islam, like the Judeo-Christian tradition has done with the bloodthirsty passages of the Old Testament. Then we can "agree to disagree" and live in physical, if not spiritual, peace.
Otherwise, we throw them out of the west, lock them into their own areas, and kick their asses anytime they uppity, OR (poorest option) we "Final Solution" their asses.
We can't live with a religion that preaches Conversion or Death.

Benjamin Netanyahu: “Our joint operation will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands.”
This is great. Iranian people will finally be able to throw off the tyranny of Islam.
Meanwhile, over the past 20+ years, Muslims have invaded the UK, Europe, Canada and the USA and have taken over those countries.
Short of complete remigration of all Muslims from all Western nations back to the Middle East, Islam will continue conquering the West.

Biden policies? Try going back to Bush 43. Muslims have invaded the USA every year since 09/11, all encouraged by US federal and state government policies.
Every single mosque in this country is an Islamic terror cell. They preach death to America and conquering America from within by converting it to an Islamic nation. They have taken over cities all across the country, they are in government positions from local to state to federal. They are in schools.
There is no need for Muslims to commit terrorism in the West anymore. They have conquered every Western nation through invasion and marching through and taking over institutions.
The UK, Europe and Canada have been conquered. The USA is only a few years behind on the same path.
Complete remigration of all Muslims is the only thing that will save the West.

TEXAS HAS BECOME - “TEX-RAN"
Reports Show the Iranian Regime Is Establishing a Foothold in the Lone Star State
Texas quietly sent $485,000 of YOUR money to a mosque whose leadership has documented ties to Iran’s Supreme Leader — how is this possible?
Why is Texas funding an institution that analysts say echoes Tehran’s ideological messaging on U.S. soil?
Between 2021 and 2023, the State of Texas awarded $485,000 to an entity named the Islamic Education Center.
There is only one group in Texas using that name: IEC Houston - which researchers describe as Iranian-aligned and operating under the DBA “Islamic Education Center.
Researchers have long reported that IEC Houston is closely connected to Tehran.

A warning to Americans about living under Sharia Law from a woman who used to live in Iran
- “In Iran, you can get arrested for walking a dog and then they can take your dog away because according to Islam, dogs are najis, which means unclean
- In Iran, you will get arrested. Not can, will if you're a female solo singer, it is against the law
- I Iran, not that you have to wear hijab, but if your hijab is not to the liking of the regime forces, they can push you forcefully into a van and take you to jail. And then things that happen in those jails, let's just say that they're not ethical
- In Iran, you are not allowed to change your religion or choose your religion. If you do so, you will be executed
- In Iran, they would line us up as children force hijab on us and force us to chant Death to America. I wouldn't call that school. I would call that a cult that is trying to brainwash children into a terrorist mindset.

Preacher and Islamic scholar Suad Salih on the rape of Yazidi women by ISIS:
“Allah allows Muslims to rape and humiliate non-Muslim women.
If we fight Israel, we will take Jewish women as sex slaves and rape them.
This is permitted in the Quran and hadith.”

Daily Tech News 28 February 2026
Top Story
- OpenAI has raised $110 billion in new investment from Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank - sort of - valuing the company at somewhere between $730 billion and bankrupt. (Trading View)
A lot of the stories just report the numbers and not the strings wrapped around them.
Amazon for example chipped in $50 billion, but only $15 billion up front. The rest requires OpenAI to either deliver AGI - human-level intelligence - or a successful IPO. And the deal requires OpenAI to commit to an additional $100 billion in spending on Amazon's cloud services, on top of the $38 billion deal they've already signed.
Nvidia invested $30 billion - much less than the $100 billion discussed previously but not a small amount either - apparently on similar conditions that OpenAI spend all of that and more on Nvidia chips.
SoftBank is also in for $30 billion, but I've seen no details of what they are getting out of it other than a slice of the pie.
Tech News
- A new California law requires all operating systems to require age verification at the time of account setup. (PC Gamer)
All of them. Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, all 600 actively developed Linux distributions, the various BSD flavours, OpenVMS, OS/360 running on a virtual machine, the ZX Spectrum emulator you just vibe coded using Claude Code, the uncounted millions of Docker containers spun up automatically every day, all of them.
From a Reddit post included in that article:What really scares me is that we have lawmakers stupid enough to propose a law like this.
Colorado is considering a similar law.
This is basically impossible for California to enforce. Worst case, they are too stupid to know that. Best case, it is performative.
Even if Linux Mint decides to add some kind of age verification, to comply with CA law, there's no reason anyone would choose that version. There are hundreds of other jurisdictions in which Mint operates that don't require this kind of stupidity. It's more likely that they will put a disclaimer on their website "not for use in California".
Time to wall them off until the infection burns itself out.
- We choose not to go to the moon, and not to do the other things, because they are hard. (The Guardian)
The Artemis III mission to land humans on the moon, won't.
Also the Artemis II mission to do a lunar flyby has been pushed back from March to April at the earliest.
- The US federal government has blacklisted Anthropic's Claud AI system from government use after discussions with the Department of War broke down. (CNBC)
Reportedly Anthropic insisted on final control over when, where, and how its systems were used. This did not go down well, or indeed, at all.
Update: OpenAI has just signed a deal with the US government, saying, basically, "Talk to us! We have no discernable moral or ethical fiber whatsoever! And boy do we need money!" (CNN)
- The JapanNext (deep breath) JN-282IPS4KP-HSP is a 28.2" 3840x2560 monitor with 100% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 colour coverage and a stand supporting height adjustment, tilt, swivel, and pivot. (Notebook Check)
Priced at $262 in Japan, which is where JapanNext sells its products. You can't have one.
But what you can pick up from Amazon is a Gawfolk (who?) monitor using the same panel for $140. It has two HDMI 2.0 ports that limit refresh rates to 50Hz, and two DisplayPort 1.4 ports that provide the full 60Hz.
There's also a Crua (who I have heard of, as a maker of cheap monitors generally) model available that swaps one of the DisplayPort ports for USB-C - I think, details are very much lacking - for $160.
The Crua model is also available in Australia, at A$189 - US$135 - including tax and delivery.
I think I'll give it a try. The stand is not likely up to much, but it has a 75mm VESA mount so it can easily be replaced with something more solid and flexible. I've been tempted by the BenQ RD280U which uses the same panel again but is priced at A$1099.
I'd point to reviews of the Crua or Gawfolk models but... There aren't any.

By noon tomorrow Ilhan Omar is going to be screeching about her nuanced and extensive understanding of the war powers act. If AOC ever sobers up and recovers from her Munich debacle she should be highly entertaining too. I would say the Democrats will be highly amusing over the next few days if they weren't such a committed Marxist insurgency.
ABC Is playing it pretty straight so far though they did let Martha Radich on which is always a shit show. CBS News s simulcasting BBC, and NBC is simulcasting Sky News. Weird. Not to mention the leftist slant of both. France 24 is running with straight news coverage.
Al Jazzera is always the most interesting to watch live. They manage to get into places the other journalists don't and they can do straight news reporting on occasion. That never lasts and eventually they go full Islamic propaganda. Still I highly recommend it as part of your news consumption cycle.

A bombing that targeted an Iraqi military base housing a pro-Iran militia caused casualties, a security official and sources in the former paramilitary coalition Hashed al-Shaabi tell AFP.
The Jurf al-Sakher base in southern Iraq belongs to Hashed al-Shaabi or the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) but mostly hosts the powerful pro-Iran group Kataeb Hezbollah.

Tehran Toby (aka Iran’s ministry of foreign affairs) has released a statement calling the American and Israeli strikes “criminal military aggression” and accused the two countries of violating the United Nations charter.
Translation: We are not ready for our virgins quite yet!
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia‘s Security Council, “The question is who has more patience to wait for the inglorious end of their enemy. The USA is only 249 years old. The Persian Empire was founded more than 2,500 years ago. Let’s see in 100 years”
Translation: We are Rus people!
Norwegian foreign minister, Espen Barth Eide, “The attack is described by Israel as a preventive strike, but it is not in line with international law. Preventive attacks require an immediately imminent threat,” he said.
Translation: We surrender!
The Chinese Embassy in Israel on Saturday reminded Chinese nationals in the country to closely monitor developments and changes in the situation, remain highly vigilant, familiarize themselves in advance with nearby shelters and evacuation routes, and keep communication channels open at all times.
Translation: We needs the oil!

Iran’s semiofficial Tasnim news agency reported that seven missiles hit an area near the presidential palace, located in Shemiran to the north of Tehran, as well as near Khamenei’s compound.
Also a new wave of explosions across Iran.
The Associated Press reported that attacks also struck near Khamenei’s offices in the capital.

They have never had fixed positions--Candace started out as a NAACP grievance junkey and then flipped about 2016 or so. Look up her Autopsy idea for a social media surveillance and reporting program. Bow tie boy, Cucker, has been from CNN, to MSNBC, to running his own Daily Caller, then to Fox from that. In that he was ping ponged to whatever was current and might make him a buck.
These are media grifters just like Me Again and they need clicks, attention, audience so they go for whatever positions and issues needed to get them.
But Candance Ovens and her series just asking questions targeting Erika Kirk is beyond the pale of human decency. And this is in the middle of a criminal trial in Utah for the actual assassin of Kirk going on. Then her horrid fans keep claiming the fact that Erika is not suing is because Candace is right (while ignoring the fact that Candace's idiocies might poison the jury while a trial is going on and that Erika has no wishes do add to that crap.).
Latest was a Candace Ovens special on X trying out an op to claim all her opponents on X were getting paid to do it.

So Iran is just lashing out in every direction, trying to cause as much destruction as possible before they fall?
Iran can't hope to prevail against the US military led by President Trump and Secretary of War Hegseth.
All they can do is throw a temper tantrum.

I think taunting and blaming Erika Kirk for Charlie's death in a stalkerish fashion for the feeding of her wallet on social media make a mockery of all her claims of just asking questions.
Ohour did a deep dive on X and finds out that Candace was raised Jehovah's Witness and some other interesting background facts on her. None of them are pleasant to read and by now, she is simply one a monster that does nothing but destroy.
Her current ally Milo was just on X doing his contrarian bit by supporting Iran in florid Islamic language and calling for Trump to be impeached.
He is a tiresome creep that was denouncing Candace in a series of tweets just last year.

Yep. I spent time years ago working in politics and worked for Congress on the floor long ago. There are exceptions but our political process brings out the worst in a lot of people just like Hollywood or the media does.
Sickened me and I only deal with politics on the local level now and went from working in politics to studying it professionally. Now retired from doing even that due to medical issues.
Once you start treating other people like inanimate things at your disposal, you have become evil. You can often tell a politician's humanity by how they treat the people around them that cannot give them any advantage, money, etc.

"Donald Trump promised voters that he would end wars, not start them...Yet he has offered no credible explanation for why he is risking the lives of our service members and inviting a major reprisal from Iran. Nor has he involved Congress...Mr. Trump declared the Iranian nuclear program “obliterated”...a claim belied by both U.S. intelligence...underscores how little regard Mr. Trump has for his duty to tell the truth...Mr. Trump’s approach to Iran is reckless...He has failed to line up the international and domestic support...The Iranian regime, to be clear, deserves no sympathy...Iran’s government presents a distinct threat because it combines this murderous ideology with nuclear ambitions..."

I think about it a lot, trying to improve my mental models. I currently break the conscienceless down into three IQ bands, with the middle one being the most common because of the bell curve.
At the bottom, the street muscle are low-functioning psychopaths. I don't mean that as a clinical diagnosis; they may be the way they are by chemical abuse, as Antifa mugshots commonly indicate.
Then there are the narcissistic midwits, who are dumb enough to just not think past their own self-interest, and clever enough to be dangerous. The world is full of them.
Finally, there are the high-functioning sociopaths, who are scarce on the ground on average, but clog the halls of power (both public and private).
Did you know, even just counting the clinical personality disorders, there is no solid measure of the incidence of true consciencelessness? I use 6% (1/17) for convenience, as it's in the wide range of guesstimates.

Care should be taken with the use of the words practice and practise as there are differences in British and US usage.
Practice is the correct spelling for the noun in both British and US English and it is also the spelling of the verb in US English.
However, in British English the verb should be spelled practise.

Anthropic got bent out of shape because it was used for planning the attack on Venezuela and thus was demanding to be able to change its Terms of Service for the DoW. As a result, Anthropic's contract was voided and the entire company is now excluded like Huawei from doing business with other DoW contractors--like Amazon, Intel, NVidia, etc.
Nuke strike on the company.

Trump's statement to the NY times should be something like:
Iran started the war on November 4, 1979. America has shown incredible patience and forbearance in the 46 years since. To expect that to last forever is ... naive and childish in thinking.

When has that ever stopped them before? They assume people will comply and that will make it mandatory EVERYWHERE. It seems to work that way for all the other mandates they impose.
Best answer is to simply refuse to sell any OS to any entity in California - especially the government. Also, to refuse to register any users for ANYTHING if that user resides in California (and impose it absolutely on CA gov't IP addresses - no tech for you!).

The coolest stove ever is sitting in our kitchen as we speak. Chambers stove circa 1930's. Gifted to us 25 years ago by a work friend whose parents bought her a new gas stove for her historic house.
The (not original to the house) stove that came with our circa 1907 house didn't have a working oven, and the stove was perfect for our decor.

He was by far the "worst" of the actual actors playing the role, but in fairness, it was a sendup of the Bond trope.
I still maintain that "Eliot" Page is the worst possible choice, since she is a neutered woman cosplaying as a man.

It was easily predictable for me, unlike for most people. Unfortunately, I gave up wagering when my youngest was born, so I didn't bet on USA hockey like I did on Trump '16.
But it was an easy one... most bettors bet on the past, instead of the present, and if past is prologue Canada should have been the sure thing.
Problem was, this was the first Olympic games in the last 14 years that the NHL released players for the Olympics - and Canadian pro players have been consistently outclassed by Americans for 30 seasons, and particularly for the last 10.
The talent pool was shallow for them, and deep for us. I only got it wrong insofar as it was closer than I thought it'd be - and I didn't know the USA would sweep gold - but I knew we'd sweep Canada.

The coolest stove ever is sitting in our kitchen as we speak. Chambers stove circa 1930's. Gifted to us 25 years ago by a work friend whose parents bought her a new gas stove for her historic house

The stove in the house I grew up in was a beautiful beast. Four burners plus a larger fifth center burner, over which a cast aluminum griddle would go. Oh, and the pilot lights had these little trivets over them, which was great for melting butter or keeping your coffee warm. There were three metal covers that you would pull up and over to conceal the burners when not in use. Sleek, is the best word to describe it.
To the left of the oven was drawer for storing pots. You used a match to light the oven. Start the gas, strike the match, hold it to the little intake port, and ...whoosh. Mostly, your eyebrows were not a required sacrifice to appease this oven-god. Mostly...

It doesn't change the fact that I called the US beating Canada in both men's and women's hockey ahead of the games. It was predictable for me, even though my boss laughed me off about it.
Just like Hillary should have beat Trump, and didn't, and everyone laughed that off. But I won a good deal of money off that.
It's how you win big bets and I'm fuckin' kicking myself for not betting these games.
C'est la vie, as the Canadians say.

The think with the AK is that the button on the back of the receiver is pretty stiff, dust cover has to slide in just right, and the gas tube is always a pain to get out. 45 seconds is not bad for a tear down and reassembly.

Ours has one big "cover" - called the mother-in-law cover - that pulls out over the entire griddle/burner area. To the right of the oven is a chamber that stores pots specifically made to fit in the Thermowell (the 1930's version of a crockpot). We still have to light a match (we use a BBQ flamer) to ignite the burners and the oven.
The selling point of Chambers stoves was/is that the oven is so well insulated that in the morning you can preheat the oven to 600°, let it heat for 10 minutes, then turn off the gas and put your food (like a roast or a stew) in the oven for the rest of the day. By the time hubby got home from work, dinner would be done.

There's also people coming in to check on me now. I asked for help after caregiving 24 - 7 for 14 years. My brain is on overdrive.. I'll let you know how the Ontario medical system helps.
I'm going to bed after my last few beers. My friends' cat Snowflake is here sleeping on my bed. Of course, she's always welcome here. But still, maybe my stress levels would be lower without wildlife making themselves at home...

Russian AKs are pretty much the worst, aside from the pre-1980 Chink ones (and the post-80 Norincos are no great shakes either, but still better than Russian ones).
The exception is Tula armory, especially the Korean War vintage SKSs. Those are good Russian guns with milled receivers.
But - in general, for the best AKs, you want to look outside the Warsaw Pact. For standard anti-personnel rifle configurations, I like Sako best, followed by Zastava-Krugevac armory.
For RPKs, Romanian ones are great, but sometimes the furniture burns under sustained fire - no big deal, it's all smoke and no fire, and you can easily replace that wood if it chars. Bulgarian ones are OK, too - but still, even with the milled receiver, it's made to shitty Warsaw Pact specs.

Yeah the thing with the AK is you have to muscle some of it. The button in the back, the recoil spring, and the damn lever holding the gas tube/upper grip. Nothing real hard, but nothing like the AR which basically glides apart. Some AK cleaning kits that I saw actually have a slot in the container that holds the cleaning parts that hooks onto the lever for the gas tube to give you leverage. I just can't remember if they were all that way or just certain ones.

The fun part was the names of the teams. Nearly everybody worked a German word or two in: "Hier Fur Das Bier," "Ich Weiss Nicht," etc. My favorite, though, was "Don't Make Bunny Use Her Westbank Voice." (A local joke; you wouldn't understand.)
The last round was "German Animals" -- the meaning of the German words for certain animals. Apparently "waschbaer" (sp?), which looks like "washing bear," is their word for "raccoon." Makes sense, though.

I wonder how long it will take Anthropic to respond.

I used to bowl good when I was a kid. My father bowled once a week on a league with his friends and my uncle. I used to go and I would bowl a few games by myself out of bordom. I was 14, and was eventually bowling into the 140's and 150's. Then it ended up where so many teams started showing up I couldn't get an empty lane anymore, so I stopped. Years later I had joined this band, and after one of the practices somebody gets the bright idea of wanting to go bowling. How bad it could it be, like riding a bike right? Yeah, I bowled a 46 or 48. Haven't bowled since. lol

From when I was 8yrs old we lived in the house my father had built on the farm. All electric.
No one told me you had to light the pilot light, nor did I ask. The burners worked for heating water as far as I can remember. In college I think I had coffee in the morning, but maybe not. My fridge had milk, cheese, OJ and beer. I had cereal and bread.
I never cooked, which was evident by blowing the oven up. That came as a huge and loud surprise.
I do love cooking with gas now. After only electric in Florida.
Had an ancient oven in our first home and I told my husband I was only cooking on burners due to the stress of pilot lights. I am no pioneer woman!
This was one fear my parents did not consider when I moved West in college. Joining a cult was probably one, or being kidnapped and killed. Not dying from an oven blowing up.

I did way too much research on it, just for fun. The 6mm ARC is interesting to me, not only because it was developed for operators (cave stalkers not door knockers), but also because it's the AR-15 equivalent of the 6.5mm Creedmoor.
The 6.5 Creed uses the same boltface as the .308 Winchester, necked down to a smaller bore, so it ends up with a long, skinny bullet that has a small cross-section for atmospheric drag relative to its weight. That's why it has such loft, being able to hit a thousand-yard target with a low-power cartridge.
Similarly, 6mm ARC is necked-down 6.5 Grendel, using the same boltface. And there's a company that makes a 6mm ARC barrel that is designed for the "Blackhawk Down" style of silencer, that goes back down over the barrel a ways, so it gets more air cushion with less barrel extension. That's kind of my dream gun, once I have the money... I think it would be essentially ideal for if the temperature on our cool (but no longer cold) civil war gets dialed up a couple more notches.

I put a dual fuel stove in the new kitchen. All the "bakers" over the years when I was doing kitchens would say electric was better for baking. I wasn't going to argue since I don't know shit about baking (no really). Mrs B is a really good baker, and since we had an electric oven in the last house I didn't want to ruin her mojo, so I went with dual fuel for the new one because there was a gas cooktop in the old kitchen here and I really learned to love gas burners. Ironically there is no gas in street, so I have propane just for the damn stove burners. We're just about out of propane and 5 different companies this past week said oh fuck you, no propane for you, you're small potatoes since we don't use a billion pounds of propane in a year. Bastards, i gotta figure out what to do

When the electric stove in the last house died we bought a glass top. I thought nice and clean. Then it took 45 minutes to boil water because you need pots with a perfectly flat bottom, and I mean like machined flat, or else the heat would just cycle on and off because of any air gap. We had to get all new pots, then it was fast.

I was told different things from each company. I have two 100 pound tanks. When we first moved here we used the company the former homeowner used. They came right out and exchanged the tanks. That was 4 years ago. It took that long to use both tanks. We called the company again, they couldn't find out account, and when eh finally dug it up his supervisor told him to close our account, we don't use enough. Another company who services our area tells us, oh uh, we just happen to not service your section of town. basically bullshit story. Another says, oh you use it for cooking only, oh fuck you, and on and on. There is a trailer/RV repair place down the street that fills tanks, so if I can't find anybody I'll have to bring the tanks there myself.

I could decline, but I have known the District Manager since I taught her her how to reset the jukebox.
Them was good days
Even over the phone, I remember that insistent voice

I don't have a gas a sewer either, and there are some epic houses on my street. I always joke that we live in the slums of my street because they are just normal houses, but 100 yards down the road there are some beauties. They don't have gas or sewer either. At the very end of the street? Oh yeah, I see manhole covers, there's gas, all the goodies. My end? Tough shit dude. No gas, no sewers, no street lights and all the mailboxes are across the street because the mailman is a lazy bastard. What kills me is he does a K turn in the driveway across from me and goes back down the street where he came from. It would take any frigging longer to have mailboxes on our side. There isn't that many houses on my side because they all have huge lots.

There's no furnace, but at least there's not just a woodstove for heat any more! Hubby did the upgrade to pellets and I'm grateful for that.
This lot is only half an acre, but it's a bit much for just me. There are out buildings, 3 of them, to mow around and some areas that have become *jungle* because I couldn't turn my back on hubby for couple of years... the place is a mess and I barely made a dent in it last year. Am hopeful for this year, however!

Goodnight BC, you really need to get on the art thread more often.
Way up thread there were comments about JSND, he would always be here about this time armed with a wide variety of knowledge and facts. always delivered with a great sense of humor. I would like to buy a ticket for the raffle of his rifle, but I don't know that I am allowed to in my communist state. Hell, my kids would probably be reporting me under some red flag law or something.
Stateless finally reappeared, I am so glad for this, but it sounds like he needs more happy in his life. Stateless, you can make it as happy as you want it to be, but only you can do that.

My last house was on 1/2 acre, and I had to mow it all, but I used a ride on, took maybe 45 minutes. When we were moving we had this house and the old house, so Mrs B got a landscaper to do the new house since I was renovating the old house and cutting that lawn. The new house is 2 acres, but there is about 1/2 acre of woods on each side, so maybe a clear acre, minus the house and driveway. I got spoiled having them cut the grass here, so I never stopped. I think I would lose my shit if I had to mow it, not to mention they do such a nice job. They weed whack and blow everything. I hate cutting grass because it happens in the frigging summer, and heat sucks.

Electric oven, though. An oven doesn't need quick adjustment, so an electric is just as good as gas, plus it has the ability to run the very high temp cleaning cycle that you can't get with gas. That's so.much better than gas for cleaning.

Mine probably went to shit. It hasn't run in 4 years, been sitting in the shed. I'll need to get it out and what its like. Probably will need the carb cleaned out. I couldn't get it started right before we moved, right after the last time I cut the grass at the old house. Its like it was saying tough shit, I'm retired now, you got a landscaper. I don't want it going to shit though. I'll pull it out when it gets a bit warmer and see whats up with it.

He states that bombs will be dropping everywhere and encourages the Iranian people to take over the government once the bombs stop.

Case in point. When we had control of Afghanistan... for quite a few years... Poppy cultivation INCREASED... because we would not stop the crop cultivation, but DID spend OUR FUCKING TAX MONEY to build irrigation systems to it could increase.
And all the troops knew it. There is a reason that one of the highest suicide rates in the Nation, is Veterans... because we feel betrayed.

Israel has not stopped hitting Hezbollah in Lebanon since June. They ramped up recently, and one objective was to negate the early warning function Hezb might serve for Tehran.

Meanwhile, the boy was arrested for a domestic this evening, even after we offered to take the grandbaby for the weekend and were turned down. I think maybe because he is off the weed for a few days the pressure cooked his ass. At any rate, we get to to drive into Anchorage tomorrow to the city jail and figure out how to work this out. Left to my own devices, I'd leave him to stew. But, he needs to keep his job, support his son, and make his wife feel safe.

Iran was allegedly feverishly excavating Natanz and Fordow, as well as stepping up production in non-traditional reactors, for isotopes to go into “dirty bombs” at scale.

A key factor to me was that the killings of protesters required Iran to bring in thousands of foreign Arab proxies to carry out--Hezbollah, Iraqis, Syrians, etc. When your own coercive forces no longer have the stomach for killing their own people, it is usually indicates very weak regime support.

Via the national ABC news, it looks like the mullahs in Iran have received a major butt-beating.
Trump made a major statement, carried by the national news, calling for, among other things, the Iranian people to oust the government and take charge. The implication is that there are groups in Iran with the capability to do so.
I guess that there will be some Iranian-directed attacks, but I predict that a large percentage of the overseas Iranian operatives will, in the next 10 minutes, fade into the local desert, never to be a problem again.

259 Here is the source of that Dalrymple quote:
"Our Culture, What's Left Of It"
https://archive.is/WBcUY
It's a FrontPageMag interview about his essay collection of the same name, and I do recommend reading the whole thing. The reason for the Archive link is because, for whatever reason, the interview is no longer available on FrontPageMag itself. So it was difficult to find the original source, and the reason why I went to the trouble of digging for it is because so many versions (including ESR's) are truncated, and I wanted to make sure that I get it right. It is one of my favorite quotes.

Former President Joe Biden weathered travel delays to fly commercial to South Carolina on Friday, where he was spotted taking an “awkward” selfie at the airport ahead of an event marking the sixth anniversary of his victory in the state’s 2020 presidential primary.
After Biden, 83, de-boarded his flight from Washington, he noticed a woman, who appeared to be in a wheelchair and wearing a cast, snapping a photo of him.
The former president, who was greeted warmly at the South Carolina airport, reached across the stanchion and plucked the woman’s phone to try and take a selfie.
Biden, and another woman who came over to help, fumbled with the phone for about 20 seconds before they figured out the camera.
The ex-president “BLANKLY STARED at it until someone intervened.

IT'S THE END TO TRUMP AND MAGA if we strike Iran. It's all over, nothin' left. Pack it in and vote Dem in 2026-2028. According to BAris it was all downhill when the first Iran strike was launched last summer. His other big brain take is that we need to peddle and bow to Islamists in Dearborn if we are to save MAGA.

The Week In Woke
Everybody is Insane
@colorblindk1d The New York Times ran a piece on their homepage about a guy getting deported even though he had lived in the US since a teenager and had been here for 20 years, and waited until the end of the article to mention that 19 of those years were spent in prison for murder.
"Bioethicist:" drinking milk is Nazi (cuz it's white).
I would like to enter into evidence Exhibit A: Bioethics Professor at New York University, Arthur Caplan. As with most bioethics experts, we can stipulate based on undisputed public statements by Professor Caplan that he is ignorant of when life begins, so he supports abortion. He also does not know the difference between the DNA structure of a man and the DNA structure of a woman, so he believes in transgerderism. Others may argue that killing and mutilating human beings is an act of malice, but a) that does not disqualify anyone from being a bioethicist, and b) there is no rule that a professor has to be born with common sense or even a brain. His ignorance of basic biology in these areas is not the point. It is more about his knowledge of chemistry. Under consideration is his public assessment of the properties of whole milk. "Nazis were enamored of whole milk as well," he wrote in his blog. "I am suspicious. Milk drinking is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking. In America, drinking whole milk has for years been a part of alt-right, white nationalist messaging in tweets, memes, and videos."Per Google's AI digest, he finds RFKJr.'s and MAHA's preference for whole milk, with mlkfats included, is actually a Nazi Plot.
Bioethicist Arthur Caplan has argued that the recent, high-profile promotion of whole milk by certain political figures is linked to white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and eugenicist ideologies
.
Key details regarding this argument include: The Argument: Caplan suggests that the push for whole milk in schools is not just about nutrition, but acts as a "dog whistle" for far-right, white nationalist, and fascist groups.
Historical Context: Caplan notes that the Nazi regime was, in fact, "enamored" with whole milk as part of their ideology.
Modern Political Context: Caplan has connected this rhetoric to the promotion of whole milk by figures in the Trump administration and others, arguing that the effort is tainted by racism.
Reception: Critics have labeled this argument as "woke nonsense," arguing that the efforts are solely intended to improve health, not to promote bigotry. In a February 2026 post, Caplan specifically referred to milk as a "symbol of neo-Nazi hate" and a "long standing obsession of fascists".
Remember about eight years ago 4chan was doing pranks where they claimed various outrageous things were "Nazi code" to get the media (and the very smart professors) to repeat these made-up lies? Well, one of those hoaxes was the claim that White Supremacists drink white milk to signal their allegiance to each other. And now? A "bioethicist" claims it's really real, man.
The so-called "godfather of evidence-based medicine" is asked why he signed a statement calling genital mutilation for children "medically necessary" despite a complete lack of evidence. First he denies he signed such a statement, then concedes he signed it, because he hadn't bothered to read it first.
Me: "Why did you sign a statement calling 'gender affirming care' for minors medically necessary?"
— Mia Hughes (@_CryMiaRiver) February 25, 2026
Godfather of evidence-based medicine: "WHAT! That's RIDICULOUS! If you can find the words medically necessary in my statement I'll have to jump off a bridge."

@wesyang Transgenderism is an ongoing project of attempting to normalize a bizarre subculture built around esoteric pseudo-medical practices from the outermost fringe of human extremity and make it compulsory for every American to join that subculture and to make that subculture the mainstream culture of the Western world. One requires only the most cursory understanding of the pioneering figures responsible for the mainstreaming of transgenderism -- who they were and what their motives were -- to understand this as a matter of certainty. It is as if ascetics who scourge themselves with whips in public or amputee fetishists began teaching their beliefs to young schoolchildren and recruiting them to join their ranks. One is forced into the strange position of referencing practices that are not more bizarre than transgenderism -- that are indeed arguably less bizarre -- to make an analogy in an attempt to restore some semblance of sanity and proportionality to our thinking about this. The normalization has already gone far enough that the whole culture suffers from vertigo where it is unable to orient itself in space or time. Giving the same off-label cancer drugs that are used to chemically castrate adult sex offenders to pubescent children who have been brainwashed to fear the decisive stage of mental, physical, and emotional maturation that resolves gender dysphoria in children in most cases is self-evidently an act of madness and medicalized child abuse unmatched by anything in the history of modern medicine. It took the self-lobotomization of the American professional and managerial classes for our truth-seeking apparatus not to see this fact that is self-evident to any normal person with normal human instincts. This self-lobotomization occurred across mainstream institutions of all kinds -- all it required was the incantation of a few odious euphemisms, the manipulation of rewards and punishments, and confident claims by various authorities that self-evidently ludicrous claims were in fact settled science. Now we are in phase one of recognizing that there was never any science to any of it. It was all a lie told by cultists who managed to infiltrate and corrupt society's knowledge-generating, certifying, and enforcement apparatus -- it was the most outrageous of all such possible lies, so outrageous that nobody could believe that anyone would attempt it, much less succeed, unless there was some actual substance behind it, some real grounds for epistemic and moral confidence. There was none.
Eric S. Raymond
@esrtweet To understand this, I think we need to remember the famous quote by Theodore Dalyrimple: "In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control." Dalyrimple did not foresee at the time he wrote that that the emasculation would in many cases become literal as well as figurative. The point of transgenderist propaganda isn't to persuade, but to degrade, humiliate, and destroy.

Besides Dalrymple, Orwell also covered this.
In 1984, the Party was eventually going to make everyone officially state that 2+2=5, as a gesture of submission to the Party.
But even with doublethink, there are a lot of complications to officially stating that 2-2=5. Far better to force people to say that men can become women and women can become men - there aren't a huge amount of practical consequences to doing that, and it is just as humiliating as Orwell's proposed measure.

Effective tomorrow: all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are now invalid
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they go to the DMV (that most will need to drive to) and exchange their license for one with the wrong gender
This was never about woman's sports.
This was never about minors transitioning.
This was ALWAYS about stripping human rights from trans people.
This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke or whatever
We are not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions
We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people
You should care about this because trans people are human beings with inalienable human rights, but even if you don't, you should care for your own personal safety
First they violate the rights of a group they think no one will fight for, and then they come for the rest of us
Kansas just made driver's licenses that have a person's incorrect sex on them invalid.
About 1,700 people have incorrect driver's licenses in Kansas.

Nah. Like what you like. I like hummus and get grief from some of the Horde. Keeps things interesting!
But I will say that I guess I'm not a fascist, because I don't drink - and don't particularly like drinking - whole milk. In coffee, or for cooking, or in cereal - basically, with something - then oh hell yeah. Gimmie milk and make it whole. But I find it too heavy for drinking. If I'm having a glass of milk, I actually want 2%.

Satan smiles when people, to be politically correct and not offend or hurt feelings, accept the abnormal as normal. Encourage it, polticize it. Make it uncomfortable for Christians.
Both go against God's teaching regarding murder, and that He created man and woman in HIS own image.
It boils down to this in my non-humble opinion: it is as if peer pressure of teens to drink, smoke, do drugs and have sex (to rebel against what good parents teach) has found a new outlet in adulthood.
I will not ever comply.

Friend from high school and college had a 68 Impala wagon we called the "Party Wagon."
We went to a Tom Petty Concert at Irvine Meadows and he had painted "TOM PETTY OR BUST" on the sides of the Party Wagon. %;00 on a Friday night we busted in the fast lane of the 405 in Torrance. Hijinks then ensued to get us to the concert as Petty came on.

I learned to drive in one of those, it was cream colored with red vinyl upholstery, three on a tree. I think it was a 1963, but I don't exactly recall. The vinyl had cow horns embossed on it so when you sat on it in shorts, you ended up branded. Plenty of room on both bench seats to make babies if you were of that mindset.

Thanks, Lizzy. Agree.
In 2013 or so when we rebelled against our Presbyterian USA church going full liberal (and I got called a Calvanist by a head honcho from Orlando)...it was worth it. I stood against abortion and told the big guns as well as our large church. No regrets.
I wish I could remember the name of a book a friend (and memember of our church) loaned me. That by acceptance of the homo stuff the next step would be pedophelia.In some ways this is the trans movement as well.
I was shocked and sort of "no way" in thinking. But then saw it. The book was written by a former homosexual who abstains and considers himself a Christian by abstaining from sex.
I will stand with a fist, as I already have. Let them try to mess with my grandchildren.

Our baby girl changes weekly. I cherish time with her altho she already prefers her grandfather. They know. They just know who will give them anything they want...and he will. She's a doll. I get super excited when I get to take care of her and was like this for her siblings. I know I am nuts, but if you have to be insane, do it for them!
Blessings! Enjoy! It is as if you get a second chance to enjoy babies who are here from God.

I thought Presbyterians WERE Calvinists, so there's that. Not sure who they think they are now, but they are no longer particularly Christian.
I have never understood how anyone calling themselves a Christian can espouse anything that is anti-life. It isn't okay to mess with innocent life, at any stage. Murder remains murder, regardless of the age of the victim. Thou Shalt Not Murder is pretty clear on that topic. At least in Catholic circles, that includes murder of the soul, which means denying God's ownership of life. Faggotry, abortion, "trans" crap. Once a "church" decides to be "inclusive," meaning confirming sinners in their sins, they cease to be from God. I would have thought that was fairly clear, but I guess when your kid or your nephew or your wife decides they are all in on abortion or whatever, you decide they need to get to heaven, and it's easier to say what they chose is not a sin than it is to call them to repentance. And yet, there's that darned corporal work of mercy that says we must call them to it.

Reminds me of the time Oprah didn't get special treatment at an upscale handbag shop in Switzerland (iirc). She wanted to shop off-hours, and because the poor clerk didn't know who Oprah was, Oprah was denied (shop when we're open!).
I'm sorry if the person serving you was possibly rude, but we're supposed to suddenly deny the power dynamic here? You, a privileged person engaging in an exclusive thing most people couldn't afford, and some lowly service personnel whose service was bad. You had the power in that situation, but instead turned it into some weird, performative victimhood fairytale.

It's a FrontPageMag interview about his essay collection of the same name, and I do recommend reading the whole thing. The reason for the Archive link is because, for whatever reason, the interview is no longer available on FrontPageMag itself. So it was difficult to find the original source, and the reason why I went to the trouble of digging for it is because so many versions (including ESR's) are truncated, and I wanted to make sure that I get it right. It is one of my favorite quotes.

My dad, and the rest of us for that matter, drove a 1959 Ford F-100 four wheel drive for many, many years and on into the 1980's. Every boy on the block coveted that truck. Baby blue, curved glass, and a trailer hitch that would destroy any car who crashed into it, which did happen a couple of times. It sat up so high we used to light the Coleman stove under it to heat up the oil pan if the temp dropped below zero. Life before head bolt heaters. You could also climb into the engine to change the oil filter. Plenty of room. Could have a party in there, I suspect.

Here with a PCA church, which is a nice church and nothing against the pastor...all Protestant services are non-traditional. Which makes me agitated and irritated. Throw rocks at me but praise music by bad musicians makes me insane. I love a traditional service and hymns.
I have prayed, oh, I have prayed against my irritations for years. But it did not take.
I am converting to becoming Roman Catholic in a month. Many reasons clarity came to me. Some related to the joy of our grandson's faith. Some a mystery, no doubt from the Holy Spirit. No regrets. No questions. Pure joy in the classes I attend. My husband was already Catholic and he attended Confession for the first time in 5 decades vs all the hurdles I have jumped.
Yeah, yeah, the Pope, etc.

Wasn't it a thing that Hitler had major digestive issues. Really bad gas combined with being a vegetarian. I never saw whether he became a vegetarian because of the distress or whether the vegetarianism caused the distress.
Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at February 27, 2026 06:37

I've seen this version -- Hitler felt he had to remain slim for public appearances, so he took laxatives to slim down. To counteract the resulting looseness of the bowels, he took opium (this is a known treatment for chronic diarrhea even today). The effect of all this was constant gas, a condition known as "meteorism." The vegetarian diet probably didn't help, but was not the underlying cause.

50 year olds are now "elderly" for purposes of California's pro-criminal lobby releasing child rapists from prison?!?! In more crime news: So much Cultural Enrichment I can't take it.
Child predator dubbed 'monster parents fear most' cleared for release through California parole program
David Allen Funston was convicted of kidnapping and sexually assaulting multiple children younger than 7 in the 1990s Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper tells Fox News Digital the convicted child predator cleared under California's elderly parole program is 'a definite danger to the community' and questions how the parole board reached its decision. A California child molester once described by a judge as "the monster parents fear the most" has been cleared for release under the state's elderly parole program, a decision local law enforcement says puts communities at risk and prosecutors are now scrambling to stop. David Allen Funston, 64, was sentenced in 1999 after a Sacramento County jury found him guilty of 16 felony counts for a series of abductions involving children younger than 7. Funston received more than 20 years in prison plus three consecutive terms of 25 years to life. After serving more than two decades behind bars, he became eligible for consideration under California's Elderly Parole Program. CDCR said that, on Jan. 12, 2026, Gov. Gavin Newsom referred the case back to the Board of Parole Hearings for further review by a majority of appointed commissioners. At a Feb. 18, 2026 meeting, the board panel reaffirmed its decision, recommending that Funston receive parole. ... "He's a definite danger to the community, and he's not rehabilitated," Cooper told Fox News Digital. Cooper said he personally reviewed the original case reports and victim statements and questioned how the parole board could reach a different conclusion. "What's ironic is the parole board read the same reports that I'm reading," Cooper said. "How the hell did they come to that conclusion versus what I came to?" ... He also pushed back on the premise that turning 50 automatically makes someone safe to release. "Fifty is not old," Cooper said. "We know a lot of 50-year-olds. Everyone does." Cooper noted that many people in their 50s and 60s are still working and active, underscoring that someone released at 64 is not necessarily frail or incapacitated and could be fully functioning in the community.

This is the SAME deranged activist arrested in Minneapolis for using her car to BLOCK ICE agents’ cars on a street.
OH my!
I heard this thing interviewed last on NPR. Lavish intro, where she delivers and description of her arrest in MN, her trauma at being yelled at by ICE, being held w/out medical assistance for 5 hours blah blah blah.
And then the interviewer - get this - quotes from her social media where she advertised herself as a perfect protect "victim" because of her disabilities.
She totally sputtered out.
She specializes in being disabled and blocking, so that when she's arrested she can yell about meany, mean cops!!

This was made very clear during the National Guard interventions.
A lot of people on the Left pointed out that the Guardsmen weren't actually doing much policing and so concluded - incorrectly - that the crime rate drops that followed weren't really due to the Guard.
The crime rates collapsed because the police started doing their jobs because they *had* to - because the freaking army showed up and their bosses got spooked and told them to get to work. Same with the prosecutors.
Urban crime is a problem that can be largely fixed (not that it will ever go away) with policing and the police forces these places already have. There simply has to be a will to do so. Sometimes that will is externally enforced (the Guard showing up) and sometimes it is internal (firing a prog DA and putting a better guy in), but that's all that is needed in many places.
Which is a nightmare revelation. All this crime and violence wasn't because of inadequate funding or staff or whatever. It has been political choice, probably for decades.

BREAKING: @FoxNews
has obtained the September 2025 parole hearing transcript for serial child rapist David Funston, in which he says as recently as 2021, he was masturbating to children in prison, including fantasies he was having about an 8-year-old girl who used to live across the street from him.
The California Parole Board found him suitable for early release from prison via CA’s elderly parole laws during the same hearing.
The transcript reveals Funston also admits that he raped a little boy because he was "vulnerable and available" and says he targeted children because he enjoyed the power he had over them.
Funston goes on to acknowledge that his pedophilia is a lifelong disorder and that he still has "urges", but he has developed an "urge control plan", and says he would never be around children again as it would be a high risk situation for him.
The Parole Board credits him for this "urge control plan" as part of the reason they approve his early release, adding:
"You have a -- a really good developed urge control plan. You have steps that you take, you practice it every day so that it'll be second nature to you if the, um, high risk -- high ri

-----------------
What happened is that cities used to have industry. With Great Society, people were paid not to work and cities had the best benefits, partly because of their wealth, but also convenience. So the parasite class moved and flourished in the cities.
City governments switched from serving their productive classes - businesses and workers - to serving the parasite class supported by federal monies. Minneapolis is a great recent example.
Cities are now supported by gov. workers (state subsidized) retail (all that SNAP spending), NGOs, the Criminal Justice Industrial Complex (why do you think they let them out -- in prison they lose a client.), graft, and poorly delivered services. They are a sink for state and federal dollars and the government farms the parasite class to produce more revenue.

If they had to pay them all not to work, had to support them, had to keep them alive without productive class dollars, the governments would go bankrupt.
Then the people would demand competence, which would attract industry by cleaning things up.

The Catholic position is that, if the perpetrator can be incarcerated and therefore prevented from ever doing it again, then justice is served. However, should this not be the case, and any innocent is at risk, it is entirely licit for the government to end his life. Protection of innocence outweighs any consideration for the life of the perpetrator.

This comes out as a sort of joke. But one of the most egregious policing changes that has happened over the last 30+ years is the elimination of the spectrum of force. It's no longer a spectrum, really. More just two points: wrestle and shoot, with a sometimes option of semi-effectual Tasers. All from the stupid premise that you shouldn't ever hurt bad guys because the occasional cop goes too far.

Nah, it was such a truth that eventually prisons started segregating them from the general population. From the small amount of reading I've done on prison conditions, its really, really difficult for a *decent* person who does something stupid to come out of prison as a better man than the one who went in. Its described as 24/7/365 war and one has to make so many compromises, including the willingness to commit crime inside to keep allies that will keep one alive.
We really need prison reform, but it won't happen in my life time. And before anyone gets snippy at my post, I'm talking about CPAs that have a wife and kids and support the local church and boys club who get greedy and get busted for "forgetting" to file $100,000 in earned income. YES, its a crime. But NO, one shouldn't have to join a prison gang (and do their bidding to stay a member) just to make it out of one's 5-10 year sentence. But that's basically where we're at (or so I've been lead to believe).

Leftwing Groomer Netflix Bows Out, "Trump-Aligned" Paramount to Win Battle for Warner Bros./Discovery
I don't know why they'd want it. This feels like trying to swallow a big jagged bone.
Netflix Backs Out of Warner Bros. Bidding, Paramount Set to Win In a stunning twist, the streaming giant's co-CEOs say the major studio "was always a 'nice to have' at the right price, not a 'must have' at any price."
In a stunning twist, Netflix is declining to raise its bid for Warner Bros., positioning David Ellison's Paramount as the winner in the battle for the fabled studio. Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters released a statement Thursday outlining their decision, namely that the deal is "no longer financially attractive" and that it "was always a 'nice to have' at the right price, not a 'must have' at any price." "The transaction we negotiated would have created shareholder value with a clear path to regulatory approval. However, we've always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid," the co-CEOs said. ... With Netflix out, Paramount's latest bid is almost a sure thing to be accepted by the Warners board, which determined earlier Thursday that it was a "superior proposal" to Netflix's deal. ... PSKY's latest proposal was for $31 per share, but had a number of other sweeteners, including a ticking fee payable to shareholders equal to $0.25 per quarter beginning after Sept. 30, 2026, as well as a $7 billion regulatory termination in the event the transaction does not close due to regulatory matters. Paramount has also agreed to pay the $2.8 billion termination fee that Warner Bros. would be required to pay to Netflix to terminate the existing merger agreement.
Doesn't Warner Discovery come with $80 billion in debt from the last acquisition? People are spending billions to own $80 billion in debt plus the right to remake Lord of the Rings in ten years. Which will fail. i completely forgot about CNN. It's a very easy thing to forget, because its latest ratings are 6. Not a six rating, six people. But staffers at CNN are reportedly in "a panic."
Waaah, Oliver Darcy reports on the Sads! and A-scareds! of his former colleagues at CNN:
Mood is 'horrific' inside CNN as staffers brace for change amid potential Paramount takeover, insiders say
Netflix backing out of bid for Warner Bros Discovery paves way for CNN to fall under David Ellison's control
The mood inside CNN was "horrific" on Friday as network leadership sought to calm fears of anxious staffers, with parent company Warner Bros. Discovery appearing set to hand control of the network to Paramount CEO David Ellison. ... "The mood is horrific," a CNN insider told Fox News Digital. "People are very upset." ...
A second CNN insider told Fox News Digital that staffers feel "a mix of despair, apprehension and curiosity." ... A second insider said the two main concerns are "job loss" and "editorial indifference," noting the former "greatly outranks" the latter. Specifically, CNN staffers worry about a potential "bloodbath" if CBS News and CNN were to merge. ...
The first CNN insider is trying to keep an "open mind" but said it's easy to understand why staffers are upset given the reporting on Ellison and Trump discussing changes. "It's existential for the brand to be owned by an individual who has personal allegiance to a political figure and is not even answering to public markets," they told Fox News Digital. "But -- I mean what I'm saying. It's not just me trying to take a deep breath. I truly believe we can only react to what is, not what might be," they continued. "And we have no idea what the world will look like when this closes."
Brian Stelter said two very funny things. Noting that Larry Ellison wants a fair and fact-based news outlet, Stelter said, hilariously, "That sounds like CNN." It sure does, Tater. It sure does. But he also worries about whether Ellison will allow CNN to keep the, giggle, "editorial independence that CNN is known for."
Below, a few meh trailers. I like most of the people involved here, including Jorma Taccone, director one of my favorite comedies of the 2010's, MacGruber, but this doesn't grab me.

Uh. Hasn't CNN been absolutely ruining their public perception and profitability by ignoring public markets? They seem to cater to what they think the public "should" want instead of what the public actually wants.

Less about politics and more about the general health of the industry.
Netflix is the only streamer that actually makes money from streaming.
Losing a major studio and its IP to the only streamer that can make money is a major hit to the theatrical distribution model that the rest still need financially.
Also, the industry still kind of just hates Netflix. Probably why it's never won the Best Picture Oscar.

Zaslav retired a huge amount of it. The WBD balance sheet has about $30 billion in debt. Still a lot, but nothing like it was post-merger.
That said, I suspect Paramount/Skydance just bought a turkey. It will take a few years to play out, but it won't shock me if it ends up destroying the company. WBD is a big bite for PSKY to digest, there is a lot of debt involved and while there are huge "synergies" (read: redundancies that can be eliminated) and it will give PSKY the opportunity to dominate the traditional box office and post-theatrical licensing market, the costs are gigantic.
The Ellisons aren't stupid, but this is a big play in an area where big plays have a habit of ending in disaster...

I'm guessing it's like all mergings and acquisitions to stake as close a monopoly position as possible. Think Microsoft. When you get big enough, you don't really need to improve from within; you need to become a legal firm and a bank. You simply engulf everything possible and, eventually, you pretty much own the industry.
And when you buy politicians/bureaucrats, breaking the monopoly is not a threat.

Remember when AT&T tried to buy T-Mobile but couldn't get it through regulatory approval and the deal failed? AT&T had to cut a $3 billion check to T-Mobile (well, to Deutsche Telekom), along with a chunk of spectrum worth about another billion.
That was hugely important. T-Mobile had bet on HSPA+ as a stopgap because it couldn't afford to build out LTE at the needed scale, and which was not a good bet. It just wasn't good enough. That penalty financed a big piece of T-Mobile's LTE buildout and probably saved the company.
If the PSKY acquisition fails, WBD is going to get a staggering penalty.

Corporate PR speak for: “We got outbid.”
Netflix wanted WB.
WB wanted to be part of Netflix.
They kept this thing going for months right up until people started complaining about a potential monopoly.
The Discovery linear cable channels, including CNN, weren’t even part of the deal with Netflix, but Paramount-Skydance us taking everything.
Netflix only wanted the studios, the entire WB back catalog, and the rights to DC Comics and especially Harry Potter with the new series coming on HBO.
They wanted to be able to charge $29.99 per month (with ads) for Netflix + HBO/Max to compete with Disney-ESPN-ABC-Hulu.
Now we’ll get Paramount+NBC+HBOMax instead.

It's the only thing on the horizon that looks remotely entertaining that isn't a cartoon (and Toy Story + Mario Bros look iffy). Maybe Spiderman, Avengers, Dune... Feels fatiguing. Project Hail Mary might be #10 on the watch list if it were any year 1970-2015 but in 2026 feels like far & away #1. Sad...

To a point, yeah. And this isn't unusual for Netflix. Their whole thing - one of their two "Co-CEOs" says it all the time - is "we're disciplined and we don't overpay."
The implication, of course, is that PSKY *is* overpaying. And Netflix might be right about that. Time will tell because it always does.

At least half of streamers are on that kind of deal. A big chunk of Disney's subscribers were shown to be people who got it free for a few months or got coupons with purchase giving them a free month, etc.
Streaming is a huge, huge net loss for these companies. They went all in thinking they'd be rich as Netflix without realizing that
A) Netflix lost money for years, and
B) they only did so well because they were the biggest, best game in town with everybody's stuff. Now that its all splintered off, nobody has that any more and none of them except Netflix are even making money.
Astonishing retards at places like Disney were dumping 200+ million dollar budgets into streaming shows as if they'd make that money back. But one show doesn't make money. Even if people get a month to watch Captain Cream Cheese, they cancel when they've seen the whole show, they don't stay on board. ANd it takes 3-5 years for a lot of these shows to put out another "season" of 6-10 episodes.
Its like having a loony bin run your company.

It "feels" to me like a confidence/contempt play. Like, what if you saw a business that practically had a license to print money, if only it weren't being run by drooling idiots that hate their customers? And, the buy-it-now price (which you can afford) is based on its run-by-idiots income. Then, if you have any confidence in yourself at all, you almost "have to" buy it. Because, you're actually smart and you like your customers, so you'd have a license to print money; and who doesn't want that?

I assume ST: Academy was already in the can before Skydance took over.
Kurtzman had the perfect opportunity to do a Star Trek: Legacy series after the success of Picard season three but threw all of that away with the crap they’ve been pumping out since then.
A revamped show with the TNG crew would’ve given Star Trek a chance to find its bearings before going in new directions. Instead they went with a woke college show in space with gay Klingons.

Well, it has been thirty and more years (in our universe) since we last saw him at the Academy. Who knows up what roads he has traveled?
Has any incarnation of Trek ever discussed how long people can expect to live in the 24th Century? Vulcans are long-lived, and apparently Klingons are too, but what about humans?

The term as now used comes from the fields of Urban Planning and Architecture, where it means, basically, the transition zone between urban and rural. Areas of warehouses and railroad tracks and decaying factories and silos, mixed with old farmland and woodlands, and maybe some new tract housing in the distance. Not the city, but nt the countryside either.
(A lot of anime, including "My Neighbor Totoro," is actually about liminal spaces -- the urban world encroaching on traditional rural Japan.)
but then the internet heard abt the term, and it began to be misused constantly, and now "liminal" just means "weird" or 'illogical" or at best "half in one world, half in the other."

WB has had flashes of inspiration where they HAVE handled their back catalog correctly. About 20+ years ago they had their 75th Anniversary and they did limited re-releases of their classic films in theaters. I saw Casablanca, Mrs Miniver, The Maltese Falcon, The Exorcist in fairly packed theaters. Missed The Wild Bunch and The Big Sleep though.
They could easily stream some of their classics as an Event Not To Be Missed, complete with a commentary introduction. Promoted correctly, it'd likely do better than the modern series productions.

They did that re-release thing earlier too. When I visited Santa Fe, NM, in May 1992, I saw Casablanca at the little neighborhood theatre near the Plaza for the film's fiftieth anniversary. It was really cool to watch it at a theatre which might have run it when it was new, and to have an appreciative audience who applauded at the right times.

Dr. McCoy did survive into The Next Generation era...He had a cameo on the first episode of TNG, I think.

He did, but he was really ancient-looking. He'd have been well over 100, since TNG began about 75 years after Kirk's time. Various Klingons from the original series appeared on TNG and DS9, shown as very old men, and Spock's father was at the end of his life when he appeared.

I normally see it used as a "between" or "boundary" space with an eerie mix of elements of each, such as a liminal space on the boundary of Dream where a mortal with talent and training (and maybe a bit of kitsune DNA) can perhaps adventure and gain insight without automatically going mad, or a liminal space on the boundary of Death where one with the right bloodline (and maybe a psychopomp's guidance) can survive long enough to interact with Shades that have retained their sapience and not yet gone on to the true afterlife. But, I read a lot of webnovels on Royal Road, which largely contains LitRPG and Western cultivation (like wuxia) stories, as well as HFY sci-fi and various fanfics, so there's an actual need for that specific word to describe a particular trope.

Surprise! Even as Fani Willis and Her Monster Box Pursued Trump on Specious RICO Charges, Biden Encouraged Her to Apply for Free Federal Graft-Money
And from Paul Sperry:
As Georgia prosecutor pursued Trump, Biden DOJ 'invited' her to get lucrative grant, memos show Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' records, turned over to Just the News after an open records lawsuit, show her office received millions of dollars from the Biden Justice Department as she built her case against then-former President Donald Trump.
The Biden Justice Department "invited" Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to apply for a lucrative sole-source grant in 2022 at the same time that she was pursuing an election interference investigation against Donald Trump, the eventual GOP competitor to President Joe Biden, internal correspondence obtained by Just the News reveals.
"I want to document your recognition of our progress and services provided with dynamic partners, as we complete sole source steps for our new grant award, a grant in which you invited us to apply," Willis wrote to Justice Department Senior Policy Advisor Scott Pestridge in the Office of Justice Programs in December 2022. The district attorney was highlighting the Justice Department's 2022 Office of Justice Programs Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative grant, from which her office ultimately received $2,000,000 to implement its programs, agency records show.
That award, which was opened in April 2022 as a competitive grant, appears to have been provided to Fulton County as the "sole source," according to the district attorney. The Justice Department defines a sole source procurement as "noncompetitive," meaning no other entity competed against Fulton for the award. ... Both [Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq.] and Willis [and her roomy, spacious 8x12 box] faced scrutiny in 2023 after their romantic relationship was exposed in court by a lawyer for one of the Trump allies charged in the Georgia case. Financial records showed that Willis hired her romantic partner to prosecute Trump and paid him more than $600,000 in legal fees while they were in a relationship.

When the left claimed the 2000 election was stolen in Florida, the FL state government gave them full access to the ballots in question and after a public and detailed examination leftwing/FNM sources had to admit that by their count Bush gained a handful of votes.
In reaction to the 2020 election though the left has sought to fine, imprison, or cancel anyone that calls into question the results and hide or restrict access to the ballots.
There is no serious argument that can be made but that the difference between the two cases is the Republicans in 2000 knew there was no fraud to be found, and the Democrats in 2020 KNOW they stole the election even the ones not directly involved in the steal itself

Q - What can you do to get the grant award?
A - A commercial or training on the important of your agency for union members?
Well, maybe not under PDT but definitely in prior administrations.
Timely: The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) provides substantial grant funding—over $81 million announced in early 2026—to support employment, training, and reentry services for formerly incarcerated individuals. These initiatives focus on high-demand industries, apprenticeships, and reducing recidivism through programs like Pathway Home and RESTART.

I guess that is willowed from the thread about the Wrong Way Truck. But I've actually been there, done that.
Mom was driving - trip from DFW to Colorado Springs, pre-college, in a Dodge Omni* - and fighting the wind something fierce in Oklahoma (IIRC). Semi passed us, so now she's fighting the wind AND the turbulence from the truck. And BANG! I (from the passenger seat) see something flash behind the car and go off the road. Mom is fighting to get the car pulled over.
I watched the lock ring go up and over the railroad embankment alongside the highway, jump the pasture fence on the other side, and it was still going literally out of sight. And that pasture was FLAT.
The rear driver side fender was bent and the wheel was actually broken. The tire was also shredded at that point.

224 I've gone out to get help. After about 15 years of 24 - 7 caregiving, I know my brain shouldn't be this hyper vigilant. But when you're taking care of others, there's always a part listening.
My family doctor, last seen in 2019, prescribed me anxiety medication. I'm really not a pill guy but I want something aside from booze to get me back to normal. And there are case workers coming in now too. I've decided that I've completed a hero's journey and I'll ask and get help...
But as I have my last 7 big 6.1% beers before pills tomorrow, there's been a horrible truth I've discovered. A deep shame. But you're the horde. I can come out to you.
Here it is...
I REALLY like Star Trek: Voyager....
They wanted to make the crew feel like a family and they did that nicely. Mom, Dad and I were good. No regrets. Doesn't mean it wasn't tough.I was loved and appreciated. But now that I'm alone, I appreciate the idea of family more. Voyager captures it nicely....
Somehow I've been blessed with friends across the street. Their cats sleep here a lot. I have a 14+ dog I'm taking care of. I do carry him up some steps...
That's it...

OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.177 governs the servicing of multi-piece and single-piece rim wheels, mandating strict safety procedures to prevent accidents from high-pressure tire explosions. Key requirements include mandatory training, the use of restraining devices (cages) during inflation, proper inspection for damage, and the use of clip-on chucks with in-line gauges.

Mom never did get the company to admit fault, despite us giving them the truck number. Since her company did business with them, however, the boss told her to pad a few invoices. That trucking company later went bankrupt. (Wasn't us. Mom didn't charge that much - just a new fender and a new wheel and tire.)
As to the Dodge Omni....
Some chucklehead at the factory had put the wrong make and model emblems on - one each, wrong front and back. So, I always called it a Plymouth Omni/ Dodge Horizon. (Dad did get a small discount at the dealer for that one.)

Can I remind people that the Republican party won in 2024 despite the SAVE act not being law? And now we have the DOJ suing blue states to clean up voter rolls, which didn't happen in 2024?
And yes, those numbers do include all related PACs. Yes, there are going to be Super PACs, but the bulk of fundraising happens with the party organs themselves.
Worst case scenario for 2026 is a slim Democrat majority in the House and the GOP losing 1 seat in the Senate.
Oh no...impeachment theater while ICE remains fully funded and appropriated through 2028 (because of the OBBB) and the DOJ keeps suing for voter rolls cleanup. What will Trump do?

OJPCBVIPI. Really rolls off the tongue.
This is *may* have been fraud, but that would be arguable. It is certainly corrupt AF, without question.
How much of government spending is stuff like this? Certainly billions at least, but how high could the total go? I doubt it exceeds half or three quarters of a trillion, but I have no idea.
There's a reason Trump said at his SOTU - and I don't disbelieve him - that there'd be a balanced budget if not for fraud (which, if he's using Musk's interpretation of that word, includes corruption).

The J6 Committee was coordinating with the Biden WH, the FBI, Jack Smith and Fanni Willis to get Trump in any way possible.
The J6 Committee was issuing subpoenas at their request to obtain evidence the rest couldn't legally request.
Then illegally and secretly sharing that with the rest of them.
And that still wasn't enough--the FBI still had to lie to get warrants to spy on Kash Patel and Susan Wiles.
An ongoing conspiracy that did not end when Biden--and the pardon he gave to the J6 Committee--left office.

Parties out of power should be magnets for money.
"Everything's wrong with the world, and it's the people in charge who are the reason."
Plus, the Democrats have a highly vaunted fundraising infrastructure that has given them money advantages in every election for a while (remember, Trump spent half as much as Hillary in 2016, HALF).
Democrats having so little cash in their party organ coffers right after fed grants got cut down massively is...noteworthy.

And, they don't have a material replacement.
USAID alone was worth 5 Hollywood's entire box office for a year. That money, $40 billion, every year, got funneled into an ecosystem that just supported Democrats as patronage. That's gone now, along with tens of billions more.
Mark Cuban can write a hundred million dollar check. But he can't write a $40 billion check.
Also, what happens to an organization that becomes so flush with cash from one source? What happens when that source suddenly goes away after more than a decade? Where are the other sources that used to fund the organization?
Well, Bill Ackman doesn't fund them anymore. Anyone else?

In some ways, yeah. The neighborhoods where they lived and had their social clubs were always safe and well maintained. They by accident killed people not part of their world, rarely anyone else. But they would charge businesses a tax just to exist, when we already have cops to protect them.
It was one thing back in the early 1900s when Italian communities were basically ignored by the police and had to fend for themselves. Having Don Galucci send his boys by for a collection to protect you was just like paying taxes for cops. Having him extort you for "protection" when you have cops is just doubling down for no better service.
And they highjacked everything that moved, driving prices up. They heavily encouraged gambling, which was very bad for communities. And when there was a mob war, they weren't very careful about who got in the crossfire. Technically they weren't supposed to use bombs, but outside NYC they still did. Technically they weren't supposed to sell drugs, but some of the bosses would shrug at it, as long as they got their 25%.
It was a trade off, and I dunno as it was better.

Don't even need AI to do it, though it would possibly make for better versions of motion smoothing. Computationally-intensive.
The bigger problem is loss of resolution. When the camera shakes, the stuff in the frame moves but the frame is always fixed. to "de-shake" it, you have to either invent stuff to go in the gaps, or you have to trim the frame. Traditional systems do a bit of both (interpolation and slight shrinking, with resulting loss of quality due to both).

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at February 27, 2026 04:05 PM
The poll I saw yesterday had crockett beating him by 12 points. For a primary in an off year that is huge. Even with all of the money being showered on talarico's campaign by people from outside the state I don't see how he can win.
If she wins the primary she will lose the general by at least 8 points.

Well, it's all tea leaves based on voting behaviors of racial cohorts, surmised from polls that may be trustworthy while looking at precinct level turnout.
If Jasmine is winning 90% of the black vote and even on the white vote while just losing the Latino vote by 20 points or so.
It's Joever.
And if Kamala is sticking her neck out to endorse, that means it's a sure thing. She can't have a primary endorsement lose and expect to build her brand more leading up to 2028.

Zaslav retired a huge amount of it. The WBD balance sheet has about $30 billion in debt. Still a lot, but nothing like it was post-merger.
That said, I suspect Paramount/Skydance just bought a turkey. It will take a few years to play out, but it won't shock me if it ends up destroying the company. WBD is a big bite for PSKY to digest, there is a lot of debt involved and while there are huge "synergies" (read: redundancies that can be eliminated) and it will give PSKY the opportunity to dominate the traditional box office and post-theatrical licensing market, the costs are gigantic.
The Ellisons aren't stupid, but this is a big play in an area where big plays have a habit of ending in disaster...

If you want to put together a small pilot group of "social workers" that would respond to a handful of calls to try and "talk down" some perp, that $2M would buy you 10 people and the associated budget.

Trump, GOP Push "Dahlia's Law" to Block Illegal Aliens from Getting Commercial (Tractor Truck) Drivers Licenses; Democrat Says That the Injuries Suffered by the Child Dahlia by the Third-World Driver Are No Big Deal
Dahlia is one of the lucky ones -- she survived her encounter with Third-World Highway Safety Protocols, albeit with serious injuries.
Many other Americans are not so lucky. A GOP Senator answered Trump's call to pass Dahlia's law, and introduced it in the Senate.By the way, this doesn't really raise any federalism concerns, because the federal government has always had, as it must have, exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce and travel. If these left-wing third-world states want to issue purely intrastate CDLs, so that third-world terrorists can murder American citizens in their states alone, they can do so. But the CDLs are granted to give the foreign savages carte blanche to drive 50-ton trucks across the country. Georgia has no say about California's standards for issuing them, and is forbidden by the Constitution from setting up border check-points -- therefore the problem demands a national response.
Sen. Jim Banks is moving swiftly to carry out President Trump's call from the State of the Union, introducing the "Dalilah Law" just one day after the president urged Congress to bar states from issuing commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Trump used his nationally televised address to press lawmakers on a range of border and public safety measures. Among them was what he said should be a clear federal standard: no state should be permitted to hand out CDLs to individuals in the country unlawfully. The president tied that demand to the case of 6-year-old Dalilah Coleman, whose life was permanently altered after a 2024 crash involving a semi-truck driven by a man who had entered the United States illegally.
Banks formalized that request Wednesday. The Indiana Republican's bill would restrict CDLs to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain foreign nationals holding valid work visas. It would also require that CDL tests be administered exclusively in English and mandate the revocation of commercial trucking licenses previously issued to illegal aliens or individuals granted Temporary Protected Status, regardless of whether they possess work permits.
Democrat Val Jennings says hey, people kill each other all the time, let's let foreigners do the Murders Americans Just Won't Do.
"Too many people have been hurt. Too many have been killed," Banks said in announcing the legislation. "Americans are paying the price because illegal drivers are being handed commercial driver's licenses like candy and put behind the wheel of 80,000-pound trucks. That stops now. The Dalilah Law makes it clear: If you are here illegally, you do not get a CDL. We need to act, and we need to act now." According to prior reporting, the truck driver involved in the June 2024 crash had crossed the southern border in 2022 and was later released into the country's interior. He eventually obtained a CDL from the state of California, allowing him to operate a commercial semi-truck. Dalilah, who was five at the time, suffered a traumatic brain injury and was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. A GoFundMe established to support her long-term treatment has raised nearly $150,000. Trump argued during his address that language proficiency and legal status are basic safety requirements when operating heavy commercial vehicles. "Many, if not most, illegal aliens do not speak English and cannot read the most basic road signs as to direction, speed, danger, or location," he told lawmakers. "That's why tonight, I'm calling on Congress to pass what we will call the Dalilah Law, barring any state from granting Commercial Driver's Licenses to illegal aliens."
Hit the link to watch the infuriating exchange. Democrats say this is no big deal. Dahlia, now crippled, disagrees.
A former congresswoman who prosecuted an impeachment of President Donald Trump dismissed the severe injuries suffered by Dalilah Coleman during a Wednesday panel discussion on CNN. Trump called for passage of "Dalilah's Law," legislation that would prohibit states from granting commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to illegal immigrants named after Coleman, during Tuesday's State of the Union address. Former Democratic Rep. Val Demings of Florida dismissed Coleman's injuries from a 2024 accident caused by an illegal immigrant driving a tractor-trailer on "CNN NewsNight" after bringing up the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good during "Operation Metro Surge" in Minneapolis. "How do you not mention -- mention that two people died and that -- in that environment?" Demings, who was one of seven House Democrats who prosecuted Trump during his first impeachment, asked. "And the president was one of the most unifying speeches, the president who said, 'Look at the Democrats. Aren't they crazy?' He obviously does not understand that when he won election, he is supposed to represent all people." "When you go through some of the moments he went through, right, he pointed to a little girl Dalilah, who was almost killed by an illegal alien, miraculously came back," New York Post reporter Lydia Moynihan responded. "She was there with her dad. When you have Democrats who won't stand and applaud her recovery, yeah, I think that's crazy." Democrats remained seated during a moment in Trump's speech when the president asked if they could agree to put American citizens ahead of illegal immigrants. "Sadly, people are killed in America every day, sadly, and the majority of them are killed by U.S. citizens. So whether an undocumented -- undocumented immigrant --" Demings said, with Moynihan cutting in with, "I'm saying, think about --" "Whether it's an undocumented immigrant or a U.S. citizen who is the perpetrator, bottom line is, somebody has died or someone has been seriously injured," Demings said.

The CDL thing has to be one of the worst offenses by the commie Left. Attacking us via illegal alien truck drivers who can't drive, read or drive and read while they hurtle through highways with massive machines of possible death.
Also attacks truck drivers wages and lively hoods.
Easy vector for political points here, tons of points as it is a real preset danger that has already taken lives. So of course he Left is throwing a fit over it.

Deepdick Patel and Swarraharah Gopedelicky don't get their CDLs by walking into DMV saying "hey, I'm illegal, give me my CDL!" They go in with the correct -- but faked -- documents, or they just bribe whoever they have to bribe.

The Department of Transportation has been shutting down CDL mills, I know that. Seen the headlines. Fly-by-night operations that just rubber stamp everything necessary for the training.
So, it's less bribing of DMV clerks and more a cottage industry was created to invent documents without basis in reality.

In many California DMVs, there is industrial scale fraud, with employees freely handing out drivers' licenses to illegal and other types of ineligible people either due to bribery and corruption, or (in some cases) ideological activism. every now and then someone will get caught and make the local news, but none off it ever makes the national news. Overall, combined, the CA DMV fraud makes it nearly effortless for any illegal to get a drivers' license here.

The latter is the more important piece, I suspect. CDLs already require English. The states handing out these CDLs are doing so with no due diligence or honesty whatsoever. They are already violating the law. Even setting aside the TPS issue, these are people who can't speak or read English and thus cannot legally hold a CDL anyway. Yet, they hold them - because the states issue them without a care.
As they will for TPS, too, regardless of this law. And these states won't be clawing back CDLs issued to TPS individuals, either, because of course they won't.
So what is the punishment for non-compliance? Who in the state governments go to jail, and which cashflows to the states are shut off?

Driving over the I-5 "Grapevine" north of LA, one shares the highway with a lot of semis. Last time I drove through about 18 months ago, my wife insisted that I not travel alongside semi trucks, it made her too nervous. I did the best I could not to, but considered this something of an irrational phobia.
In view of recent news, I think maybe she was more right than I was.

Licensing documentation is now electronic much like registration is nowaday. So the printed documents are simply used to run scans on a computer as to the validity, offenses, etc. tied to that particular license.
Weeding out illegals CDLs and trucking firms and the fake CDL schools is far easier than weeding them out of something like construction.

The retirement Ram 3500 truck i got to replace one of the Chargers, can easily haul a load that forces me into the class A cdl range of weights. I have to be very cautious of which rv we get weight-wise or I'll have to upgrade to a class B cdl even though I'm not earning $ with it. It's a weight, braking, and knowledge thing about the combined total weight and how different it is to operate versus the normal everyday grocery getter vehicles.

But in the latter case, it was a death or injury of *choice* - your choice.
Every single crime committed, every single injury caused and every accident caused by an illegal alien is a crime, injury or accident that our rulers who enabled them has *chosen.* They are "bonus" crimes, injuries and accidents. They would not have happened if not for bad policy. Even the accidents wouldn't have happened.

Welp, some DMV workers that were bribed, most recently in Kentucky are going to prison because of it. And DoT has moved to shut down the diploma CDL mills in a lot of the blue states, cut off certain grants (as to the state governments themselves for highway safety), and so on.
My guess is eventually lawsuits but having shiny new laws that eliminate district court judges discretion on this bullshit is even better to support cases against those states. I think some blue state district judge ruled against suspending CDL licenses of illegals becuz of the unfairness irreparable harm clause in the Constitution. These cases have to be appealed and won.
Things are actually moving far faster than I thought would be possible in one year re deportations and vastly changing the atmosphere for illegals. Self deportations are beginning to hit school enrollments pretty hard now and multiple schools are now scaling back employees or even closing schools starting at the end this year.

Welp, by returning to regular order, it is easy to attach to funding bills going forward as Congress has already started (except for part of DHS) marking up for next FY 2027.
The tide is going out for illegals whether or not Dems want it to. It will be last in places like CA and NY where the Democrats have regularized illegals but the rest of the states are moving on and Congress will reluctantly follow.
Protecting illegals from deportation and giving them bennies is politically more like the South's Massive Resistance over Jim Crow. A losing political game to play.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison
Strictly speaking Griggs is a statutory interpretation case of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. And Scotus, once they have interpreted a statute, do not revisit it (you get into facial versus applied so there is some wiggle room). However, disparate impact seems to work against the 14th Amendment itself by creating all sorts of issues. Just like the Louisiana redistricting case may limit Voting Rights Act applications of majority/minority districts, neither comply with the original understanding of the 14th and 15th Amendments.
Thus Constitution trumps a statute and ancillary court decisions that interpret that statute.

His legacy, in his mind and in the minds of his staff, is to shit on Republican voters. That's what he wants.
He's probably still pissed that people don't credit him for the ACA repeal dying. People blame McCain. Don't they realize that it was Mitch's doing all along? Why won't they give him the credit?
Well, he'll fix that. He'll try to kill the SAVE Act because fuck the voters.
That's his principles. That's his legacy. And he's proud of it.

Dead last. A story from the Central Coast (agriculture country) is infuriating. A teaching intern made a short (didn't even use all the allotted characters!) tweet that we need to remove illegals, and raised a shitstorm from "the community," parents, and every "leader" and school official in the area. How dare she??? If I still lived there, I'd go pick the fucking lettuce if it would get those illegals OUT.
By the way, compare the crime rates in Salinas, where they live, to the adjacent communities on the Monterey Peninsula. Salinas cops have done NOTHING about it for decades, but everyone does keep the precious Panetta family in power!

Because CA, NY, IL, NJ, CO, OR and WA is a big block to have to overcome. Especially because, if they look like they're holding strong, NM and possibly NV or AZ will follow.
Posted by: Joe Mannix
But is going out anyway. Much of what those blue states do is unconstitutional and illegal and slowly the court system is whacking down the Resist judges regardless of what those blue states want. Second, the funds are not there anymore so even places like MN are now tightening belts on Medicaid spending for illegals. None of those states you mention have healthy budgets and illegals make that worse. Three, there will be less voting fraud while Trump is in office due to risks and the coming tsunami of 2020 election fraud being revealed this year. Detroit fraud in 2020 is coming to light, so is Georgia's and Maricopa is probably next.
Take out the urban fraud machines, Dems will find it hard to win outside of their blue states. FWIW, VA election shows an odd surge of absentee ballots again similar to a general election total versus when Youngkin won. My guess is a good chunk of that is fraudulent.

It's in fixed worksites, including construction, refinery maintenance and even maritime.
Who's the controlling employer(s) with the authority to correct the hazard or enforce safety standards? The level of control over the site and the contractual duties counts. But it's not necessarily easy to prove or win in Court.
Transportation is different; it seems a company can be sued provided a driver was acting within the scope of their employment. Through principles of vicarious liability, companies are responsible for employee negligence, such as distracted driving, fatigue, or safety violations.
The company may also be directly negligent for negligent hiring, improper training, or failing to maintain the vehicle.
That's just a bit. There's SO MUCH MORE to connect & prove.

Operating a vehicle on the roads with other vehicles and people shouldn't be a given. At least have "a little" training. It'd weed out some of the problem drivers. And poorly maintained vehicles.

Pull out, complete the pass, leave space behind you, and move back into the right lane. This isn't difficult.

Cool, getting noticed inside the business is a big step for a blog.
The whole rule on statutory interpretation by Scotus is that they only interpret a law once facially as to constitutionality. This allows Congress to change the law if needed. Then you get as applied challenges which is where Griggs comes in. Plaintiffs argued in Griggs and won that the Civil Rights Act protections against employment discrimination included barring anything that might result in discrimination whether intentional or not in disparate outcomes for a protected group versus the non protected groups.
Back in the 90's mebbe, Congress then changed the CRA to codify Griggs in the 1991 Civil Rights Act. Thus, you cannot challenge Griggs on statutory grounds but have to go to constitutional that Congress does not have the power under the 14th Amendment to apply disparate impact theory without requiring proof intent to discriminate.

Hillary Clinton Claims She Never Even Met Epstein, Had No Idea About Any of His Crimes
Hillary Clinton testilied yesterday. Bill Clinton is testilying today.
• Former President Bill Clinton's deposition is underway in the House Oversight Committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation, according to a source familiar with the matter. His testimony comes on the heels of Hillary Clinton's deposition. The sessions mark the culmination of a legal standoff with Republicans over the couple testifying. • The former president and his lawyers expect that he could be in for a long day of questioning, according to a source. The Clintons and members of the House Oversight Committee have agreed to five topic areas for the depositions. • Clinton traveled on Epstein's private plane at least 16 times, according to a CNN review, and was pictured with women in a jacuzzi in files released by the US Department of Justice. He was also pictured with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend and accomplice in trafficking victims.James Comer revealed that, in addition to flying on Epstein's plane 27 times -- I trust his number more than CNN, which I'm sure deployed various bad-faith excuses to claim a lower number -- Epstein also visited the White House 17 times. I'm sure Epstein just came as an ordinary DC tourist. By the way, Mark Halperin claimed that Democrats are "worried" that Bill Clinton will have a "Joe Biden moment" during his testimony, because, allegedly, his brain is slipping. I haven't noticed Clinton showing Biden-like dementia. Let me propose a suspicion: Democrats are claiming Clinton might be demented to explain away the many, many "lapses of memory" Bill Clinton's lawyers have coached him to claim, and to provide himself with a perjury defense for all the lies he's going to tell. "A well-meaning old man with memory issues," redux. Hillary Clinton claimed, like all of Epstein's pals do, that she had "no idea" about any of his crimes. She added, "Buh Muh Trump."
Hillary Clinton told a congressional panel she "had no idea" about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, as she called for lawmakers to question President Donald Trump under oath about his past association with the late sex offender. "I want to see the truth come out," the ex-US secretary of state said after testifying behind closed doors for hours to a congressional committee investigating Epstein.She continues insisting she "did not know" Epstein.
Nancy Mace says that the elderly alcoholic lesbian was "screaming" during her questioning. We've certainly seen her raise her voice when she lies. But I wonder if the attention whore Nancy Mace isn't counter-productively hyping this up, setting us up for later disappointment, as leaks about a "red faced" Bill Clinton yelling during his Monica Lewinsky testimony did.

Clinton was practically Epstein’s best friend.

🚨 BREAKING: Hillary Clinton ABRUPTLY ended her press conference after being asked why Ghislaine Maxwell was invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding—even AFTER the conviction—and Virginia Giuffre's suits

THOSE probably need to be focused on.

"I had no idea that Epstein was doing anything wrong. But I know that Trump was doing things wrong with Epstein. Everyone knew even then. But we play too nice as Democrats and left this terrible news out of our toolbox of weapons against Trump because we were afraid of being hyperbolic against the literal Hitler and Putin cockholster that is Trump."

Hillary invited Ghislane to her daughter's wedding in 2010.
And Ghislane didn't get her own grift, TerraMarr, until 2012, so the only reason you'd invite her is because she's your conduit to Epstein.

The P5+1 Davos "no-paper" deal.
Obama's cutout Catherine Ashton met with Iran's Foreign Minister Zarif in a "one on one" meeting to hash out the sham.
Obama secretly granted Ashton plenipotentiary power to make and conclude the Iran deal. If things went sideways he could fault Ashton.
"Catherine Margaret Ashton, Baroness Ashton of Upholland is a British Labour politician who served as the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy."
Nov 21, 2013 "Negotiations between Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, in Geneva, have been "very substantial and detailed," Ashton's spokesman says."
"Michael Mann made the remarks on Thursday following a one-on-one meeting between Zarif and Ashton."

To say she never met Epstein is a huge lie. There are photographs of her with Bill meeting him. One I remember in a tropical setting with Bill Gates and also Diddy Combs.
I may not be MENSA smart but I am not so stupid to see photos and then forget, Hillary.
Of course nothing will be done to either of them. Never has been, so why think it would?
She's had a face lift of some sort as well as her brain's new battery. However, still has the bobble head. And probably still reeks of old cabbage and piss.

And contrary to popular belief, if a deponent is lying, there's nothing that can be done. Sure, the lawyer taking the deposition can show documents, press the witness, etc. But that rarely works if the witness is committed to lying.
I've taken 100s of depositions. I'm good at it. Very good. Among the best. But even so, in all those depositions I've only got a few damning admissions. Mostly it's bullshit, "I don't recalls," and "wasn't me."

What I can’t figure out is why anyone thought she was a decent candidate. It was all gaslighting and media driven fairy tales.
Bill Clinton it has been said, was one of the most effective retail politicians. Whether you liked him or his policies or not was immaterial. He knew how to give speeches, and work a room, and was charismatic.
Mrs Clinton had none of that. She also thought campaigns were beneath her. “Why aren’t I 50 points ahead!?” She had no qualifications to run, other than being air dropped into Jacob Javits former seat as a carpet bagger. And then a plumb assignment as secretary of state, which she used as a shakedown artist to enrich herself and sell out America.
Failure to safeguard state secrets. Unsecured computer servers. Covered up by the F.B.I.; the Clintons were among the worst things to happen to the USA.

Remember "There *is* no relationship" with Monica Lewinsky? Technically true, as the "relationship" (if you can dignify it with that term) was over by that point.
When Clinton was first questioned about this, his response was something like "I've never flown to Epstein's island on his plane".
Once again, technically true, because the island is too small to land that plane. You get there by landing on the larger neighboring island and taking a boat or helicopter.
I have no doubt that Bill (and likely Hillary) sampled some of Epstein's wares.
Bill, in particular, would fuck a pile of rocks if he thought there was a snake in it, and he doesn't seem like the type to check IDs.
Jizzlane herself seems more like Hillary's type.

This has been obvious for a long time. It's the "dog that didn't bark."
The combined might of every single IC and LE organization in the West was focused on destroying Trump. For a decade. There is probably no person in history who has been examined as thoroughly by as many people and where the examiners had access to virtually all even possibly-relevant information, regardless of how secret.
If there was anything, it would have been used. Even if it meant burning assets or having to do damage-control to keep it from spreading or to hand-wave away the involvement of allies.
The only way to conclude that there is something meaningful about Trump in any of the Epstein affair - be it sex, money or influence - is to conclude that literally *everyone* important in Western power was involved with him, and the collateral damage would be unmanageable.

Well Ghislaine Maxwell was prominently photographed at her daughter's wedding. The one the Haitian earthquake victims paid for.
Small the Glove, fascinating you were near the property the wedding was at! Part of me is glad someone owned a not great place and yet rented it to the Clinton's for probably way more than it
Was worth. They deserved to be conned from
Time to time. Though I do feel bad the Haitians paid for that wedding with their lives.

Yeah, I don't get all these photos, either. Did Epstein let all guests bring cameras and take pics anywhere they wished? If not, who had cameras in Epstein's residences? His staff? Only selected guests? None I've seen are professional photographer, 35mm camera, quality. How did Epstein get the prints that he kept? Do all of the photos DoJ released come from files seized by DoJ? Where did the photos that the media has published over the years come from?

I think the DNC realized that they could get away with absolutely anything as long as they just emulated Bill and Hill a HUGE (primarily female) portion of the country would back them. Issues no longer mattered at all. They no longer appealed to women with logic and reason or even "think about the children," but with excitement and emotion. Period.
And they were right.

If you look in the background of some of these photos you'll see had various photos on his wall that look like people in compromising positions. But it is odd, you'd think he'd want people to NOT know they were being photographed. Unless, maybe, you only got to spend time in the rooms with those photos once he already had photos of you...

I think he has a pathological need to be liked, where Hillary has a need to be feared. So this interrogation that will ding him being liked gets under his skin.
It might have been an anecdote on Rush's show, but someone once said they spent time at parties and galas with Bill. And he couldn't stand it if someone in the room was indifferent to him, let alone disliked him. He'd stop working the entire room and focus on them, until his charm had won them over. He couldn't let it go.

Ace, this batty old bitch is not saying she never "met" Epstein. She's saying she never "knew" him. Notice her very carefully, lawyered bullshit:
"I don't know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein. I never went to his island, I never went to his home, I never went to his offices."
So ... so long as you don't go to anyone's house, island, or offices, you don't and can't "know" them? Obviously, her statement leaves open parties, orgies, satanic sex cults -- anything that doesn't take place in his house, office, or island.

My current understanding is that it isn't really practical until the DHS shutdown is resolved. If they force the Dems into a "standing filibuster" (the original and authentic kind), instead of honoring (among thieves) a "paper filibuster" written slip, then the Senate won't be able to even consider any other business until it's resolved by one side quitting.
If they initiated the showdown with the shutdown still ongoing, then they would be handing Dems a lever that they could pull at any time to get relief from the standing filibuster, by offering to talk about making a deal on DHS funding. The Insiders that don't want the SAVE Act in the first place would fall all over themselves in their haste to leap at the lifeline of ending the shutdown, a perfect excuse to save them from having to deliver for the Outsiders.
Might just be an excuse for inaction, or it could be true, or both.

More correctly, decent peaceable people want “the system” to work as advertised, give it a chance. Representative government, rule of law. People aren’t naive, the way you imply here, seemingly.
Because, when or if it becomes apparent that the system is totally corrupt and beyond saving, that means really, really bad things are required. Nobody wants this, they want to exhaust the alternatives. Democrats refuse to acknowledge the will of the people, or democracy, or any of that.

Ok then!
As Epstein videoed everyone, I am sure there is more on the old cow (that I don't want to see). And Bill, who was/is a horny old Peyronie's.
She was very confident yesterday that nothing would happen. Perky even. Probably correct, given her list of, oh, 50 suspicous suicides of people she knew who could have buried her. Or a plane crash or two. Plus her emails she burned/shredded in her bathroom. Denial of Benghazi as what did it matter? Well, it mattered a lot to me, Hag.
The list goes on and on for decades starting in Arkansas, but someday she will die and more will be known.
Bill? He somehow was caught in her web (Hubbell).
She was never pretty and apparently (from friends of Bill's) had rancid BO in college. And an odd pick for Bill at the time.
Not that his horny highness is innocent with his aw shucks cornpone. However I sincerely think she's the base of most of the evil. And she will pay, possibly not in this life, but someday she will pay.

ALL photos of her with Epstein are now said to be AI. Even from before there was AI and collected and seen by those of us who remember.
This was an old photo I saw a long time ago.
I remember years ago the thought of "manipulating" videos, etc, was a great fear of Dims. Before AI.

If they initiated the showdown with the shutdown still ongoing, then they would be handing Dems a lever that they could pull at any time to get relief from the standing filibuster, by offering to talk about making a deal on DHS funding. The Insiders that don't want the SAVE Act in the first place would fall all over themselves in their haste to leap at the lifeline of ending the shutdown, a perfect excuse to save them from having to deliver for the Outsiders.
Might just be an excuse for inaction, or it could be true, or both.

Nope, it is true. Dunno about now but Bubba Clinton wanted to be 'loved' and particularly focused on the ladies. Very occasionally he would go volcanic temper but usually he would try to charm and then backstab when he could get around to it.

Not quite. Senate has no germaneness rule on amendments so you could piggyback the DHS funding as an amendment to the SAVE act. The only issue would be House and Senate SAVE acts would have to be reconciled either via conference, a shell bill, etc.
One of the issues though with a talking filibuster is that amendments can be offered, even not germane one, by those holding the floor. You have to have a consistent majority willing to table those amendments over and over again.

Some GOP senator I've never heard of was saying that the amendment process couldn't be controlled, or he would be willing to vote for unrelated amendments, or something.
I suspect that if Thune can get the 50 co-sponsors to agree to the SAVE Act, he should be able to keep them in line on amendment-o-rama.
Especially if he can game the system with the final amendment that reads, "All the other amendments are bullshit, original text of the bill only, please." Like he did on the OBBB.

I used to work for a Arkansas Congress critter during that era and my father was an elected official. So yeah, I knew the Clintons, Tysons, Blairs, Bumpers, Pryor, etc.
Arkansas was a very weird state politically at the time because of a very small and rural population and state officials had to run every two years for elections. Being rural, it meant Dems could not just hole up in Little Rock and rely on winning the primary or general elections, they had to go on the road all over the state for votes.

I've heard anecdotes that Bubba had a near-eidetic memory -- and if he'd met you at a party 20 years earlier, he would remember your name if he saw you again.
I listened to the audiobook of legendary sportscaster Al Michael's autobiography some years ago. He was relating on how he had spent some time with a football coach from Arkansas in the '80s who said something like "You'd better take notice of our ambitious Governor who will win one be the President of the United States."

US Evacuates Embassies in Israel and Iraq, China Orders Citizens Out of Iran as Strike Appears Imminent
Recall the words of wisdom:
And so it begins. -- Guy who thinks things are always beginning
But joking aside, it looks like Trump's had enough. Iran once again pretended to "talk" while conceding nothing. The USS Ford is now in place for a strike.
Open Source Intel
@Osint613 Al Arabiya: The U.S. State Department has evacuated non-essential staff from the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.
AFP: The United States authorised the departure of non-emergency embassy staff from Israel on Friday, as it threatened strikes on Iran and pressed its biggest military build-up in the Middle East in decades."True Conservative" Tucker Carlson, meanwhile, is now being feted Obama's pro-Iran foreign policy A-Team, including architect of the pro-Iran "Echo Chamber," Ben Rhodes, aka "Obama's Mind-Meld Second Brain.
Ben Rhodes, whom you undoubtedly know as Barack Obama's Deputy National Security Advisor, once bragged that he persuaded the media by gaslighting them and creating an echo chamber. Since establishment Washington, rightly, opposed the Iran deal that he and Obama so desperately wanted, they invented a new establishment and sold it to America.Below, they praise Tucker and encourage all other media figures to follow him in his Iran propaganda. Tommy Vietor -- "That was like a 100 years ago, man" -- says he's a Text Buddy with Tucker Carlson, The True Conservative.As Malley and representatives of the State Department, including Wendy Sherman and Secretary of State John Kerry, engaged in formal negotiations with the Iranians, to ratify details of a framework that had already been agreed upon, Rhodes's war room did its work on Capitol Hill and with reporters. In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters. "We created an echo chamber," he admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. "They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say." When I suggested that all this dark metafictional play seemed a bit removed from rational debate over America's future role in the world, Rhodes nodded. "In the absence of rational discourse, we are going to discourse the [expletive] out of this," he said. "We had test drives to know who was going to be able to carry our message effectively, and how to use outside groups like Ploughshares, the Iran Project and whomever else. So we knew the tactics that worked." He is proud of the way he sold the Iran deal. "We drove them crazy," he said of the deal's opponents.Ah, the "expert" class. We know them well. Ben Rhodes helped pioneer and refine the "echo chamber" strategy Obama used so well--the creation of what I call The Narrative(TM). Ben is part of the Obama team's Crooked Media, which is known for its shows Pod Save America and Pod Save the World. Crooked Media was founded by the worst of the worst: Jon Favreau, Tommy Vietor, and Jon Lovett, all part of Obama's communications and foreign policy/intelligence teams.
Pod Save America's Ben Rhodes & Tommy Vietor gush about nazi promoter Tucker Carlson. PSA's @jonlovett / Vietor have pushed hard for ppl to back Platner (nazi tat guy) in Maine.

Yoram Hazony
@yhazony Feb 21 My Contacts With Tucker Carlson About Anti-Semitism on His Show A few weeks ago, a mutual friend asked me if I'd be willing to speak to Tucker Carlson off the record. I agreed and Tucker called me three weeks ago to talk. I continued texting with him for eight days after that. But this past Friday, Tucker released a video in which he reported to the public on his off-the-record conversations with me. Inaccurately, of course. So here's some additional information on my short-lived discussions with Tucker Carlson about anti-Semitism on his show. Tucker called me on Sunday, February 1. We talked for 1 hour and 23 minutes. Here's what I noted down on my desk calendar right after the call: "8 am Tucker Carlson 83-minute call wanting to know how to end the charges of anti-Semitism against him. Trump told him to end it on Jan 11." As you can see, Tucker explained that he was calling because he had come under pressure from President Trump at his famous meeting at the White House on January 11. He told me the administration wants him to find a way to stop his high-profile fights with Jews and Zionist Christians. Tucker told me that he wanted my advice on "practical steps" he could take to change the impression that he is an anti-Semite. I thought he was asking me to host him in Israel. So I explained to him that I can't do much to help him, because just about every Jew I know believes he's been waging a savage campaign against Jews, Judaism, and Israel for the past 18 months--and that most think his aim is to drive Jews and Zionist Christians out of the Trump coalition and out of the Republican party. I said that even a year ago, quite a few Jews would probably have jumped at the chance to appear on the Tucker Carlson Show and to present an alternative point of view, but that this looked impossible to me now--and that it would stay that way as long as there's no change of direction on his part. Tucker wanted me to explain to him why anyone would think he was an anti-Semite. I answered that question for more than an hour, giving him a series of examples of statements he and his guests had made on his show that seemed completely unhinged and motivated by a desire to slander Jews, Judaism, Israel, and Zionist Christians in order to do as much harm as possible. He kept expressing amazement that anyone would think he was an anti-Semite, and I kept giving him more examples of why I thought any fair observer would reach that conclusion if they were familiar with the relevant conversations he had hosted on his program. The conversation ended with my agreeing to continue the discussion. I didn't feel he was open to dialing down the hostility toward Jews, Judaism, Israel, and Zionist Christians constantly being expressed on his program. But I also didn't want to close the door to the possibility that the pushback from the administration would eventually get him to make a change. (Anyone who has been following Tucker's program in the weeks since January 11 knows that, so far, there hasn't been any such change.) On February 3, Tucker wrote to me asking if he could speak at the first Israeli National Conservatism Conference (NatCon), which is scheduled to be held in Jerusalem on June 8-10. I was taken aback that he would ask for something like that, given the content of our conversation two days earlier. But I did my best to draft a reply that would reinforce my previous description of what a great many Jews, Israelis, and Zionist Christians think of Tucker right now. Here's what I wrote in response to his request to speak at the first NatCon conference in Israel: "Tucker, I appreciate the offer. But I need people to show up at this event. Realistically, Jews and Zionist Christians are not going to share a platform with you or come to hear you under the current circumstances. I'm just speaking descriptively about the situation: Much of the lineup will revolt if you join the program and that story will blow back on you [and other public figures] in addition to blowing up the conference. If you want to change this situation, there are things you can do unilaterally to shift the dynamic and I think that's the way to move forward." I thought Tucker had finally gotten the message that he should stop asking me for favors, and instead consider how he could make unilateral changes that would help people get past the impression that he is one of the leading Jew-haters of our generation. But then on February 9, he wrote to ask me if I would set up a meeting for him with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I'm not sure why he thought I was the right address for that request. But I knew very well that if someone were going to contact the Prime Minister's office with such a misguided idea, it wasn't going to be me. Here's what I wrote in reply to his request that I arrange a meeting for him with Bibi: "I don't see how that could happen. It doesn't serve any interest I'm aware of. It could only damage him." This was a perfectly honest answer, and Tucker could have thanked me for giving him my honest assessment of the situation he has created. But Tucker wasn't happy with it, and he typed an agitated little speech into his phone to indicate that our conversation had come to an end. On February 20, Tucker released a peevish summary of the contacts between us as part of a wild video in which he also suggested that Israel might be trying to kill him and his family. That's the story. I'll just add one comment. Most of what I do in public life is building coalitions. That means I talk to a lot of people who don't agree with me on all sorts of things, and sometimes that means meeting with people who don't like me very much. I have these in-person, off-the-record conversations because often people turn out to be quite different in private. Sometimes, I've just misunderstood who they are from their public appearances. Sometimes, I've understood very well who they are, but it turns out they are willing to explore the possibility of making a change. And also: Even when nothing else comes of it, I learn a tremendous amount about people from these private conversations. In Tucker's case, the private person turns out to be exactly who we've been seeing in public. As of now, I'm not seeing any sign that he is willing to play ball with the mainstream nationalist camp in the Republican party, much less that he has any regrets about who and what he has become since leaving Fox News in 2023. Whatever his motives for turning his podcast into what seems to be a circus of anti-Jewish messaging, right now that project is clearly more important to him than helping the administration keep its coalition together so it can govern effectively and win elections in 2026 and 2028.
This is just like calling up the NAACP and asking them for a free "N-Word Pass," because sometimes, you know, n****r is just the mot juste. Below, Tucker Carlson, who is not antisemitic, wants you to know that he is no coward and was not afraid to step into Israel proper, instead remaining in "Zone A" which I guess is some kind of zone which Israel does not have sovereign control over. In explaining that he's not a coward who is afraid of Israel, he says that he asked the US to tell Israel the exact plane he was on, because this Non-Antisemitic Non-Coward really believed that Israel, which is "fighting a war with seven different countries, was plotting to shoot his airplane out of the sky and then claim they thought it was an "Iranian Drone," and he wanted Huckabee to tell them specifically he was on this plane so that Israel could not murder him by anti-aircraft missile and then pretend they didn't know. He cites the totally non-antisemitic USS Liberty trope to show that Pefidious Jews love doing that kind of thing. (He continues insisting Israel knew it was an American ship, even though the NSA has released intercepted radio transmissions showing that Israel had identified the ship as Egyptian.) See, he's not antisemitic at all, he totally isn't deranged with antisemitic conspiracy theories and paranoia. And also: Not a coward. Definitely, N O T a coward.
Tucker is not afraid.
— Joel Mowbray (@joelmowbray) February 22, 2026
Not afraid of Israel or in Israel.
He just wants to make sure the IDF doesn't "mistake" his private jet "for an Iranian drone or something."
And, um, because of (false) stuff about the 1967 USS Liberty bombing.
Tucker Carlson laughs at fear.

No ground forces. Planes, drones, bombs, missiles can not carry out regime change. It is very unclear what the USA intends to do, or what the repercussions for Iran and the region could look like in the aftermath.
Wars gotta be on the weekend so the market is closed. Can’t have red lines going down while you bomb people
A limited strike is likely unavoidable. If the Iran regime does not bend after this, a full scale war aiming for regime change is likely. It may even be possible that China take its chance on Taiwan if the US is too distracted.
I read yesterday that the likely way this would go down (for optics/political reasons) would be for Israel to start something, then the US, who just happens to be in the area, would jump in.
Hilary came out yesterday saying Trump AND Melania are both heavily involved with Epstein and yet no investigation is ongoing there. Scared the crap out of the 80 year old dementia don.

NASA just announced a MAJOR overhaul of the Artemis program. Here’s what’s changed, according to @NASAAdmin
@rookisaacman
:
NEW MISSIONS:
Artemis 3 is no longer a moon landing 🤯 It's now a crewed test mission in Low Earth Orbit in 2027 - docking with SpaceX's Starship and/or Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander to test systems and new spacesuits BEFORE anyone tries to land on the moon.
----
basically what we accomplished with the Apollo 7 and 9 flights.
Posted by: Don Black at February 27, 2026 12:20 PM

This reminds me of the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle program won out over a cheap booster idea similar to what Musk is doing now. The result was a dangerous expensive kludge that continued for political, rather than technical reasons. NASA had become a fossilized ass-covering federal that was incapable of making sound decisions -- and this was back in the 1980s. Scrap NASA and start over.

You deserve this Tucker, you antisemite. Which you haven't hidden under a bushel but allowed that light to shine forth into the giant mouth of Owens. Where it then popped out of her Sanpaku rolling eyeballs.
Yoram Hazony was harassed. He should block the lunatic and get a restraining order. NUTS.
Tuckcuck has a private jet. I suggest he buy a private island and fly his private jet with family, Candance, and followers to start a commune. Dig a safe cave. Near Qatar. No one wants you here, Tucker and Candace. No one who is sane.
"Off the rails" doesn't describe them. They are being paid to damage conservatism and/or attempt to cause divide. Unfortunately for whoever is paying them, they don't message well at all. Might as well pay Nick Reiner to take up the flag.

This is a very different type of engagement. The nuclear facility attack in Iran and the Maduro extraction were discrete, achievable tasks, and the Trump administration did a great job there. Taking out the Iran regime, if that's our goal, is much broader and will not be achieved with a single engagement in a few hours.

Blacks voting as a major block in the TX Senate primary is going to have...effects.
The progressive left is CONVINCED that gay, twink, heretic Talarico is electable in Texas. When Crockett loses the general (95% of the black vote in Texas is far less effective in the general election than in the Democrat primary), they're going to fully blame the black electorate for it. The counter factual will be that Talarico would have made it closer, if not outright won.
And then Kamala is going to announce her run while securing at least 80% of the black vote the day she does it.
Holy shit...the only left is going to go full racist. It's gonna be hilarious.
I just hope it spills out into the real world.

A blog has one person, who has children in the Air Force stateside, bemoaning the drums of potential war. Like she herself is going to fly a bomber. An expert, you see, because she reads X.
I want to slap her to the moon but refrain. If she sees and earthworm pop out of the near frozen ground she reburies the poor thing. Would have a cardiac arrest if she stepped on an ant or killed a killer bee.
Personlly I think she's wacko and probably a closet Dim womman. She irritates me. Questions why Bibi is in charge when he was not born in Israel. I am unsure where he thinks he was born. That he's not Orthodox.
I really wonder what on earth she does other than raking her yard, which must be down to bare dirt at this point.
I don't think she sleeps well for her Bibi worries, and flipped out when Trump ordered strikes on nukes in Iran.

They are egging them on, supplying arms (of some sort - reportedly air defense) and advisors.
Russia too, to take some pressure off them in Ukraine. And the strait is calm in the Spring. There is another window in the Fall, but China will avoid the typhoon season because they consider themselves heirs to the Mongol glory and everyone remembers what happened to them in Japan.

"Stacie-Marie" Laughton was convicted in 2008 for credit card fraud and sentenced to 15 years but only served one.
In 2015 he was again convicted this time for calling in a bomb threat to a hospital. No jail time
In 2020 he was elected to the NH legislature
In 2022 he was convicted of stalking someone - I can't see if he got any jail time.
In 2023 he was arrested for child sexual exploitation and convicted of it in 2025.

The first bit is just common sense. The second essay is just fearful crap. You cannot let the fear of what the enemy MIGHT do paralyze you from doing anything. They are going to try to strap the rat cages on no matter what we do or don't do. We'll have to deal with that one way or another, but letting it paralyze us is NOT the answer.

You don't need all that for a strike. A strike could have been done at any time. As I've been saying, I'll believe it when I see it. I've been assured for decades now that Iran is about to fall. I was assured -- promised -- months ago by pretty much everyone on this site that the regime "wouldn't last a week." It's still there. I'm now hearing yet again that "the end is imminent!" Believe it when I see it.

I really wanted all this Mullah, Ummah, Caliphate done and turned to dust after 9/11. Then GWB blathered about the "peaceful religion" and I knew it was not to be.
Who would think post 9/11 that a moose limb would be elected mayor in NYC?

Your name popped up in my post zapping of benign stuff yesterday's nap. I look like I was dragged through a rose bush by my hair, but it will be worth it.
Anyway, I rarely nap, but the mental exertion of not yelling for her to stop in the 30min torture (numbing cream did nada)...your name came up in the nap dream.
I was at my last horror job and a former bf had messed up my desk.I was trying to find the bakery # to call for Easter cakes. Then I found the Ben Had Bakery (which appeared to be Jewish to add to the insanity). I was thrilled at success and woke.
I cracked up that your name was in my dream (because I dream in color and read).
The bf's name was mentioned to my husband the day prior. I am making Emeril's Coconut Cream cake soon for my 5yr old granddaughter's bday. And organizing an Easter Egg hunt.

You don't need all that for a strike. A strike could have been done at any time. As I've been saying, I'll believe it when I see it. I've been assured for decades now that Iran is about to fall. I was assured -- promised -- months ago by pretty much everyone on this site that the regime "wouldn't last a week." It's still there. I'm now hearing yet again that "the end is imminent!" Believe it when I see it.

You cannot fuels something without fuel. China would not be able to meet capacity, colume of orders in every industry around the globe, if it wasn't for Iran. Chicoms would take western tycoons to show off how their production. All fueled by Iran's very cheap sanctioned oil. And that is how they continued even under western sanctions. China, for payments in crypto and in gold.

The P5+1 Davos "no-paper" deal.
Obama's cutout Catherine Ashton met with Iran's Foreign Minister Zarif in a "one on one" meeting to hash out the sham.
Obama secretly granted Ashton plenipotentiary power to make and conclude the Iran deal. If things went sideways he could fault Ashton.
"Catherine Margaret Ashton, Baroness Ashton of Upholland is a British Labour politician who served as the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy."
Nov 21, 2013 "Negotiations between Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, in Geneva, have been "very substantial and detailed," Ashton's spokesman says."
"Michael Mann made the remarks on Thursday following a one-on-one meeting between Zarif and Ashton."

Not even. Apollo 8 entered lunar orbit and remained for 10 revolutions, a much more technically sophisticated maneuver than a slingshot around the Moon on a “free return” trajectory.
This was the original plan for 8, but smart folks decided “as long as we’re there…”, and wanted to study Mascons. The SPS motor had to work, but it had to work anyway.

Yeah, that's why I called Artemis 2 a fly-around not lunar orbit mission. Sad that we aren't smart or brave enough to replicate the Apollo 8 mission. I think it is not brave enough.
