The skull serves as a powerful symbol of mortality, while the artist's introspective gaze invites viewers to ponder their own existence.

Go look out that window, bucko. Look straight through it, at eye level. What do you see? That's right, motherfucker. You see SKY. Nothing but air. Wanna know how I got up this high, in an office this big, with furniture this polished? Of course you do. Every single mewling little lying quim in this building wants to know. They think they can get it by being little bitches, playing little bitch-ass games and then collect their prizes.
But you're wrong. Deep in your heart, you know you're wrong. You wanna get this desk? You want this office? You see yourself parking your little pansy ass in MY chair? Well there's only one way to do it. Let me show you the guy who I took this office from.

The Morning Report — 1/16/26
. . .senior Iranian officials are funneling their money out of the country like "rats fleeing the ship," amid escalating protests and financial unrest inside the Islamic Republic."We are now seeing the rats fleeing the ship. Because we can see tens of millions of dollars being wired out of the country—snuck out of the country—by the Iranian leadership. So they are abandoning ship," Bessent said Wednesday on Newsmax.
As long as we're contemplating military action against repressive violent tyrants,, I'd rather see a carrier battle group sail up the Mississippi and conduct operations against Minneapolis.
As Tim Walz Encourages Resistance, Minnesota ‘ICE Watch’ Declares ‘Time Is Ripe To Embrace Militancy’ — The "ICE Watch" group at the center of the unruly demonstrations gripping Minneapolis urged supporters to "embrace militancy" and escalate their demands "by any means necessary." Hours later, Minnesota governor Tim Walz (D.) also encouraged residents to resist ICE, accusing the agency of carrying out a "campaign of organized brutality." MN ICE Watch, which describes itself as an "autonomous collective documenting & resisting against ICE, police, & all colonial militarized regimes," shared an Instagram post on Wednesday teaching agitators how to relay "information on police and/or fascist" activity at demonstrations.Millions funneled out of the country. Compared to the Somalis, the Mullahs are penny-ante operators, since the former have grifted billions!
The Minnesota Department of Human Services or the Minnesota Department of Education could not have grown that fast on their own, but what they were really doing wasn’t offering new programs announced by Walz, but managing disbursements to politically connected nonprofits, like the ones involved in the scam, which were able to threaten their personnel with the wrath of Attorney General Keith X. Ellison and other local and state officials if they objected to anything.Hey, you don't have to be no William Allen White from Emporia KS to know that the aforementioned "ICE Watch" and probably every other crackpot anti-American commie front group is getting tons of taxpayer dough re mi in exchange for fomenting revolution and of course election thievery! Well you can't get the former without first getting the latter, nein?
While Gov. Tim Walz and other officials claimed that they were implementing ‘programs’, what they were actually doing was building political piggy banks for their allies. Fraud was baked in because the real purpose of outsourcing what were supposed to be government programs to third parties was to subsidize the ‘community groups’ that turn out voters for their campaigns.
The nationwide networks of community groups are really a voter outreach and turnout operation for the Democratic Party funded with taxpayer money. For an example of how that worked, consider the role that one single non-profit played in the political careers of Kamala Harris, the former vice president, and Gov. Gavin Newsom, a likely presidential candidate.
“I think there are some reasonable members, but basically it will be cutting off again that, you know, constant flow of money that they’ve used to purchase votes through the years,” she told Marlow, “but the attention that the Minnesota fraud scandal has gotten has really given us legs once again. So it will put some of them in a very difficult position, but it’s absolutely necessary to do this.”
How much longer are we going to put up with this?!
A grinning anti-ICE agitator was arrested after she allegedly punched a Florida state trooper during a confrontation with federal agents — drawing a blunt warning from Gov. Ron DeSantis that the Sunshine State “is not Minneapolis.” Jennifer Cruz was arrested outside Mi Pueblo, a Mexican grocery store and meat market in Jacksonville, Tuesday morning after she allegedly jumped out of her car and punched a state trooper in the face while officers were working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a post on X. “Jennifer disagrees with immigration enforcement and decided to commit a few felonies by getting out of her car and punching a trooper in the face,” Uthmeier wrote.
Unlike the infamous Michael Brown of Hands Up Don't Shoot mythology, who slugged police officer Darren Wilson in the face while resisting arrest by attempting to take his gun and shoot the policeman rather than get arrested, and the rest as they say is history - - this filthy degenerate slag just cold-cocked a cop in the face because she knew she could get away with it, despite her fellow Democrat stormtrooper Renee Good getting ventilated last week. After that, law enforcement officers know that they face extermination if they dare do the unthinkable and defend themselves. It's gotten to the point where Leftists and their mediawhore propagandists are proclaiming that law enforcement doing its job is the real crime and cause of all the violence. I've had it. I won't be satisfied until Walz's pinhead is on a pike and the Democrat Party and its allies cease to exist or are otherwise removed from the national discourse. Andrew Breitbart may his memory be for a blessing when he declared "Fuck You, War!" Expressed it perfectly, except the Left have been waging war against us for decades and it is high time WE THE PEOPLE resist, fight back and Win absolute victory. Amen. Have a great weekend. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

But in the world of grants for "Muh Cumyoonity", that's effectively standard practice. The Community Development Project gets 3 million from USAID. They keep half a mil and give the rest to the Development Project for Communities, who then keep their half a mil and give the rest to the Development for Community-ing Projects, who keep their half mil, and give the rest to the Wave Some Signs And Commit All The Arson Fund.

I worked with a bunch of scientists at a marine research lab. FedGov. They were always scamming educational facilities for grants by having grad-students sign on for a multi-year gig counting plankton or some such crap.

I really think he's stuck trying to figure out how to help the situation without looking like he's helping the situation too much.
Any new government will be kneecapped by looking like an externally installed American puppet, so he can't come out swinging for anyone.
Any military action to support the situation directly is going to look like Regime Change Classic, which half of his base is violently allergic to.
Maralogology has rules just like Kremlinology. When Trump speaks definitively, you can usually believe it. When Trump speaks conditionally, going in circles, seeming to contradict what he's doing or says he wants to do, saying things that sound counterintuitive, it's because the world is full of newsface piranhas that he has to distract with nonsense so he can do his job.

A couple of things:
1. That's not "sneaking." You don't "sneak" away with lights on and sirens blaring. It *might* be "fleeing," but it ain't "sneaking." Sneaking would be unmarked planes with loads of cash and jewels in the hold and mullahs upstairs, flying out as any other flight.
2. Tens of millions of dollars is a lot at retail, but not at wholesale. Somali cash mules were moving this much per month through Minneapolis on their way to more exotic locales. "Tens of millions" is either a mopping up operation (getting the last bits, which are scattered around) or individual action. What's the normal transaction volume? Is the current rate of money movement higher or lower than the pre-crisis baseline, or the early-crisis baseline?

Any prominent or effective non-communist who grants an interview to any news organization in the country goes through more hostility and continuous twisting and lying, and does it at least once a week.
Amazing, eh? A communist letting a mainstream conservative podcaster interview him is big news because it's so rare. A non-communist entering the lion's den every day isn't even notable.

Can't believe Ben put on the kneepads and finally worshipped at the throne of Gav. Gavin dumpsters Ben in this. Like when Ben tried to bring up immigration and sanctuary cities, Newsom just wrecked him on a factual basis.
Newsom did great! He handled Israel and Trans Issues and California bashing very well. Im even more all in on him for President. Ben said "Secretary of Defense" and not "Secretary of War" lol

A 24-year-old man was acquitted of murder in the death of "Grandpa Vicha" Ratanapakdee, who died after being attacked in San Francisco in 2021. Antoine Watson, who was also charged with elder abuse, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and assault. -SFGate

This is what passes for "justice" in this sh*thole state.
Vicha was a Thai American elder who was killed after being forcefully tackled to the ground in a random daylight attack in San Francisco in 2021.

Trump would rather see his agents get beaten up and gunned down rather than do that. I really believe that Trump only wants to visit America's Wrath on its foreign enemies, and VERY targeted , scalpel vs broadsword.
He probably knows that giving the Left any optics of real seriousness will jeopardize the whole operation - like the GOP doing what they normally do in the face of an Alpha Male taking charge and getting things done - they will urinate in their panties and cling to the safety of the Left's shock troops.
The villain here is Kash Patel. Here he has at his disposal goons who could make arrests like they did to the J6 "rioters". He won't do it, because he doesn't want to do it. He would rather be their BFF than be a leader.
Trump needs a war time consigliere, what he has is a DEI hire in the FBI and a Green Room Queen in DOJ

They are uncovering billions of dollars of fraud not just in Minnesota but in other Democrat states as well and it appears to be connected. They are surging DOJ assets to MN, OH and other states following the money and building cases.
Do you really think they don't know already? Why do you think they are setting up these riots including having guys like Walz and Frey cheer them on?
The riots are a distraction to keep people from focusing on the corruption. The corruption didn't just funnel huge amounts of money to illegals and Democrat politicians it bought them votes to win elections they never would have won without it.
Biden didn't flood the US with millions of illegals out of compassion. It was all about money and power. This is a lot bigger than just sending Ahmed and Juan home.

It might be that he found his place. I don't want Rubio as president. I don't think he'd be very good at it. I didn't think so when he ran the first time and as much as I like what Rubio has been doing - and I do, he's been great - I still think so.
I think Rubio is a spectacular SoS and general minister. I would love to see Rubio continue at State, or as a "minister without portfolio" for a pipe-swinging administration. Dude's a stud, but I don't think he'll make a great president. Or, at least, he will be nowhere near as good a president as he is at State and his other hats.
I think similarly, in some ways, of Bush 43. Had Bush 43 been at State instead of in the big chair, things might have worked out better. Bush was not a total retard on foreign policy. He had a perspective I no longer particularly like, but it was also a different time and he was well-suited to that milieu. He just shouldn't have been at the Resolute Desk.

My take on him to date.
His fingerprints look to be all over theory the and implementation of the Donroe Doctrine, making sure the EuroCommies understand they are the tip of the tail and and not the dog, backing our Middle Eastern allies to protect Israel and end the Mullah's reign of terror, and cause the Chicoms geopolitical pause. He is showing he knows how to wield power, is willing to use it and with confidence.
On the domestic front, his years in Congress gave him experience and skills to navigate the DC nonsense. His rhetorical style, while not the bombastic Trump way, is said with steel teeth. Plus he sees to have internalized the principles and exercise of an America First nation. That son of Cuban immigrants learned his lessons well.
During his first run, he wasn't baked yet and it showed. Today, in his current role, he has come to know everybody on the world stage and has demonstrated he gets results strategically and tactically. He is showing he can be a man of consequence whose possess a honed skill set that makes him the best person to carry forward Trump's MAGA revolution. I am becoming increasingly impressed.

"I don't know my strength and I have no way to gauge yours" is a thing. Another and likely bigger part, though, is that they don't know they need to because hitting girls is always considered bad behavior and they rarely - if ever - get an example of direct consequences. When girls hit, they get restrained and removed, not pummeled. The "if I hit you, I might get my ass knocked out and so maybe I should consider if that consequence is worth it" thing is not something they learn.
When girls get hit, it's usually at the hands of another girl and it's something approaching a "fair fight." She messes with her man, so the other woman intervenes. Etc. Not *that* uncommon. But women getting a straight beat-down is extremely rare. That consequence isn't real to them.

While doing some design work on the computer, ran the pilot of the Rockford Files on another monitor.
A Pilot is supposed to be the episode that convinces the studio to green light a whole season.
• James Garner is Jim Rockford, there can be no other. Full Stop.
• Like anything from the 70s, it was so slow, every scene was dragged out as if they were trying to amortize the time of lugging tons of heavy film equipment to the scene and wanted more than a few quick seconds, but minutes of Los Angeles icon scenery.
• the villains were cartoonish, almost camp.
The nostalgia in every scene was the only thing that kept me interested. Still didn't finish watching the first episode. Too boring.

Even with them, "Murder, She Wrote" was borderline unwatchable. It was a bad show in its prime, but Lansbury made it work. In its own time, it wouldn't have worked without what she brought to it.
Today? With a bluezillion options of what to watch and a move in technology that obviates the entire formula (the Rockford reboot will suffer the same problem)? It's fishing the bottom for something to do. Hollywood is cooked.

No doubt, most of these sorts of things are like Wicked. Attempts to re-write our culture the way the twisted satanists in Hollywood want it to be. Their puppet masters know what Brietbart knew - that politics is downstream from culture, so they are attempting to usurp American culture.
Note that in Wicked, all the good guys in the story are rewritten as bad guys, and the Wicked Witch - who is named that for a reason - is portrayed as the VICTIM. It became popular, I think, because of great music. The song about "Defying gravity" is clearly about overcoming seeming insurmountable obstacles in life - a great message. But in the movie, it's literally about the evil witch learning to fly her broomstick - as if that's a GOOD thing.

Because they need to hype up their big walkout on Tuesday.

Anyway, there's this mythology, that nonviolent protests always win. That the exploitation of the morality ("you can't hit a woman!") of your opponents (while you have none) can't be countered.

DV is also grossly over-reported and one of the most common false reports. Punching a wall - not the woman - is "DV." Yelling can be "DV." DV stats are so padded as to be worthless. And a scuffle or mutual combat - and mutual combat is the most common form - is is not a beat-down.
Which is not to say that it doesn't happen. It does. Wife-beaters exist and aren't all that rare, but they are by no means the norm or the typical experience. Women (in fact, everyone) shouldn't experience arbitrary severe violence, and thankfully most do not.
But even that is a different category. That isn't the case of a woman with no inkling of consequences picking fights with strangers in a street war. If there's one thing that describes all of this shit, it's "no inkling of consequences." There are a staggering number of people who have no clue that consequences exist at all.

Them's fighting words. I own the whole series on DVD. It's delightful. But I also have nostalgia of watching it with my mom every Sunday night when it was still on the air.
You have to ignore the idea that all those murders pop up in one little town, which is why I love the theory she's a secret serial killer. Also why they had to move her to NYC to teach, and do glitzy trips around the world, to make her finding a new murder of the week more plausible.
I will admit though, the few eps where they bring her books to life? My least fave. Her books were mid at best. But I adore Angela so I'll forgive them trying to play with the format of the show. Her book titles were great, though. "The corpse danced at midnight" is intriguing.

Fair point. Then again, he is spending his days in an ongoing master class - he cannot come out of it unchanged. He seems to be learning and internalizing all the right things. The future is unknowable but he seems to know what he is about and what needs to be done better than any other potential 2028 candidates; he sure seems to be two term material. His short coming, and this is true of all potential 2028 candidates, is he lacks Trump's economic mind and Trump's masterfully ruthless ability to manipulate events to achieve his goals. Maybe more to the point, does Rubio have Trump's single minded will power that may be deterred but never derailed?

LEOs love to train in Krav Maga. My instructor was the equivalent of a Black Belt in KM and was also a LEO in his real job.
Normally any LEOs in the class would pair up, and on the many occasions there was an odd number, I was the guest sparring opponent - because these guys bring to the floor the violence of the streets and few of the guys could go toe-to-toe with them for an hour.
So there was a mutual respect, and out came the stories, and there was a lot of DV - the real kind, not just punching walls. Maybe they all lied or embellished stories, but they were the most shocking.

Child sexual abuse is virtually always a "boyfriend". While it does happen, it's pretty rare for a biological father to sexually abuse his own kids.

That is the talk of billionaires as leaders. Unfortunately, the entire Congress is staffed with grifters wanting to use their office and their access to money to be billionaires.
I would include We The People, but half are on the take in the form of entitlements, and many people who work are dependent on government graft either as employees or contractors, and a large segment who just pays into the system is buying Powerball tickets.
Hard to find decent Americans who are satisfied in their trades and the station in life God has granted them.

Making an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience Tuesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) expressed his frustration that the Trump administration has failed to refer Anthony Fauci for criminal prosecution for lying to Congress. Paul told Rogan that he believes Fauci's blanket pardon—issued by former President Joe Biden during the waning hours of his presidency—should be challenged in court. Paul said he has provided Attorney General Pam Bondi with evidence that Fauci misled Congress about gain-of-function research and also instructed his deputies to destroy public records in order to stymie scrutiny.

Every incident where "protesters" physically interfere with ICE, they need to arrest at least a few, as a message to the others. The trained "protesters" think they know they can get away with some criminal acts (blocking roads, pushing or shoving, whatever).
They need to be taught that any organized resistance is criminal, accomplished by hauling them off. Not sure, but I think that may be why they need the Insurrection Act in effect, so they can arrest without pleading with cops to stop the rioters.

"Unless we can undermine the institution of homeownership and seek to provide stability in other ways, I don't know--it's a really difficult organizing situation we find ourselves in."
Remarkably clear, actually. "We have a generally stable system here, but we don't like it because we're revolutionaries - but we acknowledge that stability is bad for the revolution business. The best approach for us is to destabilize the system through artificial external pressure from the top, so that we can re-stabilize it on terms we find more preferable at the expense of those who we destabilized."

Somali Subpoenas: Congress moving quickly to investigate cash-in-luggage exodus from U.S. airports
Two powerful committee chairmen in Congress are moving quickly to investigate why Somali immigrant couriers were moving hundreds of millions of dollars out of U.S. airports in their luggage to overseas destinations the last few years, and whether there is any connection to a massive fraud scheme in Minnesota or terror groups in their native country in Africa. “We're going to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of this […] and it will mean subpoenaing these things,” Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., told Just the News in an interview Thursday.

The new left are mainly people that sucked on the government tit for a long period of time or became fabulously rich via the tech revolution. These folks have to rent loyalty from the plebes which one can see in the MN protests. The POCs and poors aren't out there because no money in it.

And yet, the Left is a Potemkin village compared to what it used to be. There is no groundswell of the poor pushing revolution; Cloward Piven ironically deprived the left of its footsoldiers which is why they imported a new set abroad. Instead, it is a bunch of hothouse flowers from higher ed and wealth larping at being revolutionaries. And being thoroughly stupid about it.

China effectively aborted its future with its one child policy and now they are beginning to pay the piper. And its ruling class is far more interested in stealing everything not nailed down and doing shakedowns of its private firms for additional grift.
The commies in the West are also hot house flowers because they don't understand the psychology of the proletariant anymore. The proletariat don't want to own nothing, instead they are as avaricious as a Wall Street banker. Pay them welfare and they frankly don't give much of a shit about street antics and cosplay revolutionaries. It is the young and educated, often pretty wealthy, that are the enraged footsoldiers of the left. These are people that have been educated beyond their competence and are filled with rage that they don't have positions that they think are commensurate with their bien pensant status.

A client woman comes in and the social worker is all abuzz about the female client signing up for this or that program to get out of poverty. The woman listens for a bit and then tells her, all I want is my check.
And as she was leaving, the client tells the social worker, something like you outta get out of here, marry a good looking guy, and then you would not have to be dealing with this shit.

And they think themselves as philosopher kings that should not worry about such mundane activities. That tendency increases as they climb the education scale in degrees.

Daily Tech News 16 January 2026
Top Story
- The best graphics cards for gaming in 2026. (Tom's Hardware)
At #2 is Nvidia's 5070 Ti, and at #5 is the 5060 Ti, both of which have ceased to exist.
- The best options for building a new PC with DDR4 RAM you already have. (Tom's Hardware)
Both systems include the 5060 Ti, which as we have just noticed, has gone to the great parts bin in the sky.
- Nvidia has rebutted claims that the 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti are "end-of-life", insisting that all cards are still shipping and are just shagged out after a long render. (PC Magazine)
The fact that you can't actually buy them is clearly a skill issue. Git gud, scrub.
Hardware Unboxed - an Aussie hardware review channel - was planning a market roundup of currently available 5070 Ti models, and reached out to their industry contacts for review cards. There were no review cards to be had anywhere. (YouTube)
Their contacts in the Australian retail market confirmed that there was no stock of the 5070 Ti at distributors at all, echoing recent reports from Germany and Japan. And Asus told them, and subsequently confirmed, that the 5070 Ti was "end-of-life", had ceased production, and would not be restocked.
Then Nvidia... Clarified... That all RTX 5000 series cards are still in production, and Asus walked back earlier comments and agreed that the 5070 Ti is still in production.
Hardware Unboxed requested - again - a review sample. There has been no response as yet.
- AMD meanwhile is working with its board partners to prevent GPU price hikes. (Notebook Check)
Good luck with that. The 8GB 9060 XT seems to have bounced back up from its recent low price - it was briefly selling below MSRP - but it and the three 16GB cards (9060 XT, 9070, and 9070 XT) are all in stock. As is the 32GB 9700, though that model is quite expensive.
Tech News
- TSMC plans to spend $56 billion on new production facilities and equipment this year. (WCCFTech)
That's equal to three Nanyas.
- Reprompt is - or was, it's just been patched - a Copilot exploit that, once you clicked on the link, kept stealing your data even after you closed Copilot. (Hot Hardware)
It worked like most so-called "Prompt Injection" vulnerabilities: It asked the AI for your data, and the AI helpfully handed it over because it has less self-interest than the average mycoplasma.
This particular instance has been patched, but it was active in the wild for four months before Microsoft took action. This is why even people who use AI tools are up in arms about Microsoft integrating it directly into their operating system.
If you use AI through your browser, it stops the moment you close the tab. Copilot never stops until you kill it with fire. Hot Hardware has a detailed article on removing it that involves running unsigned code directly out of GitHub because that may actually be safer than leaving Windows untouched.
- US senators are demanding answers from X (Twitter), Meta (Facebook), and Alphabet (Google) on sexualised deepfakes. (Tech Crunch)
Answers to questions like "How do I do it?", "Does it have pictures of Sydney Sweeney?", and "You're not recording this are you? Stop recording right now!"
- Italy's privacy watchdog is under investigation for corruption and embezzlement. (Reuters)
I am shocked, shocked, to see corruption and embezzlement going on in here!
- The Minisforum N5 Air is a $499 5-bay NAS. (Liliputing)
It's a cheaper version of the N5 with a plastic rather than metal case, but otherwise almost identical. Apart from five 3.5" drive bays, it has room for three M.2 SSDs (with two running only at PCIe 4.0 x1 speed and one at x2), and includes a Ryzen 255 CPU, room for two DDR5 SODIMM modules (none as standard, so beware of that), and a whole lot of ports: OCuLink, two USB4 ports, 10Gb and 5Gb Ethernet, three USB3 10Gb ports, and HDMI. One of those USB3 ports is inside the system to host a boot device so that you can dedicate all the drives to data.
- The best office mini-PCs review by Notebookcheck. (Notebookcheck)
Top spot goes to the Apple Mac Mini M4 Pro. With 64GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD, though, it costs more than three times as much as the same configuration for the Minisforum AI X1 at #5. (They list the 32GB model, but I bought the 64GB model.)
- The FDA has announced a recall of chocolate bars from Spring & Mulberry. (Southern Living)
Then we have number four: Crunchy Frog.
We use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
And what is this one: Spring Surprise?
Ah, that's one of our specialities. Covered in dark, velvety chocolate, when you pop it into your mouth, stainless steel bolts spring out and plunge straight through both cheeks.
- Everything I ordered during my definitely not drunken New Years Eve shopping spree has now shipped.
The SSDs doubled in price and the memory tripled the next day. I do need to pick up an AM4 CPU to use it all - the motherboard is on its way - but those are cheap and readily available.

They said the same thing about the availablility of their cards this time last year and it all turned out to be B.S., and that was before memory prices skyrocketed.
Once they finally got their cards into the supply stream the prices were well above MSRP and still are for the higher VRAM cards, especially the 5080 and 5090 which have never come close to MSRP.
So maybe they'll keep selling 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti but you probably aren't going to enjoy paying $1000 for what's supposed to be a $750 card, or $650 for what's supposed to be a $430 card.

Feel good story Fiancé Surprises His Bride with Wedding Shower in the Preschool Where They First Met as Toddlers
Engaged to be wed this month, a young Texan wrangled the support of an entire preschool class to throw his fiancée a surprise bridal shower. Walking into her preschool class at Shlenker school in Houston, Zoe Kampf was surprised by a troupe of children dressed in floral garlands and bow ties who handed her a tiara and a sash. In the middle of it all was her hubby-to-be, Sean Folloder, in the very room where he had first met his beloved. “When I walked in, I was really surprised,” Kampf told the Jewish Herald-Voice. “They had cookies and decorated the classroom. They gave me a sash and a veil and crown. It was really cute.”Well played, Sean. ----- Unexpectedly! One Glacier Is Actually Growing–and Perplexed Scientists Hope to Discover its Secrets
Over the decades, a glacier in Central Asia appears to have been growing when almost every other glacier on Earth has been shrinking. Now, a scientific expedition has recovered ice cores containing 30,000 years of frozen water in the hopes that somewhere inside lies some indication of how we can help these rivers of ice survive as the planet warms. Located in the Pamir Mountains, the Kon-Chukurbashi high-altitude ice cap in Tajikistan defies convention. While a substantial number of glaciers have completely disappeared, it has grown in size, and scientists want to know how and why.You don't need to check out the whole thing. But it is a hoot to still see these climate doomers before they go the way of the dodo. ----- AI is asshoe. Court Invalidates Marriage Due to Incorrect AI-Generated Speech During Wedding Ceremony
On January 6th, the District Court of Overijssel, in the Netherlands, invalidated a wedding ceremony held in April of last year in the city of Zwolle. Despite the married couple’s pleas, the Court decided that their marriage had never legally existed because the wording of their wedding speeches, which had been generated by ChatGPT, did not include certain mandatory phrases. The Dutch couple had appointed a friend to officiate as a temporary civil registrar, known as an eendagsbabs in the Netherlands, and he decided to have ChatGPT generate more romantic and informal speeches for the newlyweds. The bot came up with a more relaxed version of the usual wedding speech, but one that did not include a mandatory declaration.Using ChatGPT to devise your wedding speech? Asshoes! ----- Only 11 years for our Wednesday ONT host to finish growing up? T. rex took 40 years to become fully grown
An analysis of growth rings in the leg bones of 17 Tyrannosaurus rex individuals reveals that the dinosaurs matured much more slowly than previously thought, and adds to the evidence that they weren't all one species The largest-ever analysis of Tyrannosaurus rex fossils suggests the giant and fierce Cretaceous predator was a late bloomer, taking 35 to 40 years to reach maturity. The findings also further the debate about whether there were several T. rex species instead of just one and whether smaller specimens, once thought to be juveniles, are in fact a more diminutive species called Nanotyrannus.Keep growing, lil Dino! ----- Pedal to the metal! A remote stretch of desert interstate could become ‘America’s autobahn’
Americans love driving fast cars fast. It’s the mystique of white-knuckling a sports car to its limit that made the German autobahn and Paul Walker famous. An Arizona lawmaker wants to give drivers the green light to drive as fast as they deem “reasonable and prudent” on some of the state’s long, straight stretches of paved road, saying the lack of a speed limit will actually reduce deadly crashes. A traffic safety advocate said the bill invites catastrophic wrecks that could lead to higher insurance premiums for the state’s slowpokes.Probably good arguments against this, but it sounds kinda kewl to me! Kraftwerk agrees

I do have a problem with people driving the speed limit in poor visibility or at night in the rain and snow on 2 lane roads with curves, etc. I’ve never seen anyone get a ticket for that, unless they are in a collision. A little late then, huh.
One thing Europe does correct is the Autobahn - right? … but then note well the large trucks or semis are limited to the right hand lane and no more than 100kph (62 mph). They do require actual safety inspections and the cars I drove had good brakes. American domestic car brakes are like mush in comparison.

2. The second problem was more pronounced. It was just before the Berlin wall came down, and there were East Germans sneaking into West Germany through Hungary...in their Trabants (which were powered by twisted rubber bands).

Loved the preschool romance. It will be 50yrs this September when I met my guy in a hospital elevator. Introduced by one of my classmates he was "sort of" dating. Going to have our son or DIL take our photo in the elevator, which I know is weird vs a field or normal, like in class or a blind date, or a plane. But it is what it is. He asked if there's going to be a side eye shot of him looking at my boobs and I said he did not. Yes, apparently, he did when I wasn't looking. I guess all guys do this? Except the gheys?
We just watched a weird but funny at times movie called Hit and Run. We spent most of the movie in a super weird conversation throughout. Guessing who the stars were and various idiotic stuff about them.Movies we'd seen them in, someone was dating a model, etc. In sort of short hand disjointed sentences as we watched. Normally we make more sense.
Keep in mind we are retarded and barely know who anyone is, so it was pitiful at times. Somehow he knew Bradley Cooper was dating a Hadid model.
I laughed and said even for us this is a weird conversation and he agreed. Such are the daze of our lives.

Dropkick Murphys are releasing the anti-I.C.E. song “Citizen I.C.E.” as part of a new tour-only split LP with fellow Boston band Haywire titled New England Forever.
“Citizen I.C.E.” is a reworking of the Dropkick’s 2005 song “Citizen C.I.A.” Performed live during the band’s Fall 2025 European tour, the reworking melds the original’s surging arrangement with lyrics that don’t pull punches: “Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop/ Citizen I.C.E.” Haywire also lend a hand and are featured on the track.

He actually said this in a post. Well, what he said was he can’t populate the earth with his offspring all over everywhere and this debacle has hurt people he loves. Perhaps a reference to Shivon?

I did not ever again tempt fate (and jail time and loss of license).
Anyway, the gal I was hustling down to meet stood me up.

We were both a bit wild and crazy and got it out of our systems before we hatched sons. Raised them to be outstanding men who vote conservative. Somehow we did it and they have no idea what we did in our youth. No regrets.

That was almost exactly my daughter's experience. She had it done in college around 2008, then joined the Army right after graduation. She was happy she needed no glasses in the military, especially deploying to Afghanistan. She left the Army as a Captain in 2015, but within about three years started needing specs again. She is a married Mom of two and is A CPA for Lockheed-Martin.

The signs in the Montana park were added more than a decade ago to reflect climate change forecasts at the time by the US Geological Survey, park spokeswoman Gina Kurzmen told CNN.

Nevada, but not really. They had no speed limits signs, but...
In 1972, I was stopped by a Nevada State cop on I80, out around Elko. He asked me if I knew how fast I was going. I said 107. He told me my speedo.was off, I was doing 102. He then proceeded to "larn" me about Nevada's speed law, which was "reasonable and prudent", and that 102 didn't meet that definition. He told me that anything above 90 during the day and 70 at night would get me pulled over. He let me off with a warning, because my car was in good mecanical.shape with good tires. I remember one thing he said - "You wouldn't believe the number of people I stop.out here, doing over a hundred with cord showing on their tires.. and with little kids in the car."
The next year, we had the gas crisis and the national 55. After we got rid of that, Nevada never went back, and had speed limits signs.like everyone else.

The wife had it done in 1997. She was blind as a bat. If you're sitting across a large room she would not know who you were. If she lost her glasses she probably couldn't drive. Driving her home from the procedure she was reading license plates 3-4 cars ahead of us. We stopped at McDonalds on the way home, and sitting in the car in the parking lot was reading the frigging drive thru menu from the parking lot. I was amazed. She was seeing like a hawk. No more glasses, no contacts, zip, nadda. Almost 30 years later and she don't need reading glasses, and only just recently needs a mild set of glasses for driving, but isn't really a necessity. She just likes to be able see street signs from far away so they don't sneak up on her. She got a lot of millage out of that procedure.

My apt mates (two grad student guys I did not know) & their girlfriends & other friends took me on an adventure my first winter. Cross country skied from one canyon to another across a mountain ridge as seen in the photo (without the road). Sheer drops on each side of the narrow path I followed & did not look down. We got to someone's cabin about 4pm after hours of skiing & I remember collapsing in front of the fire after putting on dry clothes. I think I slept through dinner into the next day.
I firmly believe I had guardian angels as nothing bad ever happened to me and I took risks. I had fun.
I had good friends who looked out for me, including these apt mates. A friend arranged for me to have a room in this house & these two guys came with it. I did not tell my parents I was living with 2 guys in the same apt for months.
They were not happy that I moved across the country, being a half-wit and all. My mother called & one guy answered the phone. She quickly asked who that was (thinking I'd joined a cult or something).I had my own bedroom and bath I assured her; they had gfs!

MacArthur returned to Luzon, and joined up with the Filipino resistance. They approached Manila, under the command of General Tomoyuki Yamashita. Yamashita figured out, accurately, he couldn't win. So he ordered a retreat; there was a possibility of a better holdout in the local hills, "Sierra Madre" (apparently every Spanish ex colony got hills with that name).
Rear Admiral Sanji Iwabuchi disobeyed those orders thinking it would be more fun to fight in the streets and rape Filipinas.
So 100,000 citizens died, because Iwabuchi used them as human shields off-and-on just shooting them for giggles. Unless I'm reading this wrong (and I hope I am, because my faith in humanity is low enough as it is).
I dunno. Some of the people involved in the war, you know, war sucks, you have to give orders that result in horrible things. But then you read about a monster like Iwabuchi and you wonder how the fuck anyone promoted him to a position beyond "prison cook".

On I-55 (eye-fiddy-fi) I got my mother's V8 station wagon boat up to 112mph. I was 15yrs old and driving to volunteer at a little hospital as a candy striper. I thought this great fun with my exBF and did it for many weekends.
At some point the Hwy Patrol caught me slowing down to 93mph and gave me a $20 ticket. I was goint to pay it and yet this exBF said, oh, you need to tell your parents. Oh, boy. Daddy yelled at me. Mama cried. It was a mess.
The next day my great father and WWII Marine apologized for yelling at me. The week prior he and a friend (and me in the backseat) were on a hwy and he said, "Let's see how fast she can go" in this same car. Little did he know I was already speeding away whenever I could. He thought he was a bad influence on me. He was the greatest influence on me!

During this time, I was once driving I-94 somewhere east or west of Miles City. I was doing 85 mph and no one was in front of me and there was a little dot about five miles back of me. I didn't think anything of it and continued to drive for a few more minutes. I then looked in my rear view mirror to see a Montana Highway Patrol vehicle about 100 yards behind me. I knew it was too late to slow down, so I kept going at the same speed. Then I noticed that the HP was going considerably faster than I was, and when he passed me, I looked at him. He had left elbow perched on the window-door interface with his hand holding up his head as he rested his head in the palm of his hand.
He was bored and not interested in pulling anyone over. I chuckled and thought how great it was to be a Montanan.

Actually, there is some science behind it. The color is called "subtractive yellow" and results from filtering the blue light out of a white light source, like an incandescent bulb. Blue scatters more, which is why the sky is blue - has to do with the shorter wavelength of blue light. Subtractive yellow lamps work better in rain, fog, and snow, and are not as glarey to the eyes of oncoming drivers. Ever notice that blue and purple Christmas lights always look fuzzy, while green, yellow, and red are sharp? That's because your eyes struggle to focus short wavelength light, too.

Anyway, the cab ride from Montreal to the train station woke us all up one morning like Red Bull IV. The cabbie (probably a moose limb) drove like a lunatic. Super fast and we were not in a hurry. Maybe normal? Zipped over speed bumps, etc, weaving in and out of lanes.
Son said he almost hit a pedestrian. I was in the backseat giggling and my DIL and husband were freaked out and mute next to me.
I think I am conditioned to wildness from the farm cars we were in speeding through woods and my love of going fast. They thought something was wrong with me.
When my men were getting the suitcases out of the trunk I thought our son said his life had changed. Instead he said he needed a change. Which set me off again.

Even white fog lights work pretty well, when mounted low, and aimed to illuminate the road directly ahead, and the fog line on your right. When the fog or snow is real bad, turn the headlights off, and drive on the foglights alone. Your eyes will be much less dazzled by your own lights being scattered back at you.

An interesting fact that I saw in a study was that the average speed went from 84 mph during the unlimited speed time to 82 mph after the 80 mph speed limit was enacted.
So the state legislature did a pretty good job in selecting the correct speed.

During WWI when the French were ordering all those 8mm revolvers and Ruby pistols in .32, the British asked for the Ona to be made in .455 Webley. The Brits then rejected most of them, and they were rebored to 10.35 Italian revolver, marked Tettoni by the importer and sold to the Italian army.

The Spanish had a copyright law that required all patents to be registered in Spain to be protected, and if they weren't a Spanish company could make them. The Spanish manufacturers could also register a patent on those designs, also, as long as they paid the licensing fee. Orbeas Hermanos eventually gave up "their" patent on the .44 Russian design, so other manufacturers could make them too.
There were a couple of interesting Spanish patents made, but most of the small arms were some sort of borrowing.

According to the NJ State Trooper, I was doing 95 on the parkway in my Chrysler Laser. According to the speedometer, I was doing 85. That was the highest number on the gauge. Always thought it was funny to put a speedo that topped out at 85 mph into a car with a 2.2 liter turbocharged mill. The state trooper didn't think it was funny...not even a little...

85 mph speedometers were another (stupid) idea promulgated by our betters in WDC. The idea was if the speedo didn't go past 85 then people wouldn't try to drive faster than 85. Notice too on those the 55 is highlighted in red (usually) to emphasize the 'correct' allowed highway speed.

My family was a little screwed up. My grandmother was born here, but went back to italy when she was 1 years old, and came back at 26 with my father's older brother and sister who were born there, but he and his younger sister were born here. They are all fluent in italian, but have zero accent, because my aunt was 2, and my uncle was 5. They were either practically born speaking english, or were so young when they learned it you would never expect them to know anything other than english. The cousins didn't learn shit. Its weird because my grandmother and father being born here technically makes me 3rd generation, but my uncle and aunt who were born there have kids that are probably 1st generation, even though they got an american born grandmother, while I have the same grandmother and I'm 3rd generation. The end result is me and the cousins learned squat.

How funny! I had a '74 (I think) Mustang II. Nice looking little car but worst, most unreliable pos I ever owned. Sadly, I didn't learn and continued to buy American made cars which fell apart before they had 50K miles on them... I did get good service out of a 2007 Chrysler 300 but mostly we've bought SUVs and trucks since the '80's.

Soon on the first plane's heels, another Danish Hercules aircraft touched down at Kangerlussuaq in western Greenland. Both planes reportedly flew with their transponders switched off - a detail unlikely to go unnoticed in an already tense Arctic standoff.

Got it up to 95 on a back road in N. Idaho... WOOO! Had plenty of pedal left and was amazed that it wasn't shaking apart at that speed, but was running out of road-- plus scared sh1tless-- so backed it off and was thankful to not get any tickets.

My Mustang II was maybe 4 years old, with 25,000 miles on the odometer. For a car that was allegedly that new (odometers didn't indicate past 99999 back then - they rolled over to 00000). For a car supposedly that young it was a piece of trash. The next biggest piece of crap was an '88 Ford Tempo, bought with less than 10,000 miles on it.
I will never buy a Ford car again. Truck maybe, car never!

“Right now, Democrats have no credible path to sustained control of the Senate and the White House.
After the adjustments to the Electoral College map that look likely to come with the next census, the Democratic presidential nominee could win all states won by Kamala Harris, plus the Blue Wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and still fall short of 270 electoral votes.
An already unforgiving map gets more so, equally so in the Senate”

I took the fix ring that holds the water bottle cap secure (perfect size) along with a patch of plastic from paper towel wrapper and snugged it down over the oil inlet then poked a small hole in the plastic.
I have syringes for watering my batteries; took one of those and occasionally put the nozzle in the cut and pushed the stem until oil came out on the chain.
Not buying another cap.

So, I start it up once a week and either drive somewhere or let it run for a while, to charge the (new in August '25) battery.
The old Ford-- a '70 F100-- sits out back, languishing. Battery probably dead by now, haven't started it for over a year... I got too many other things to do. Need to sell it, I guess. Never gonna have the time to restore it.

Scientists Accidentally Discover Laser-Free LASIK Alternative
A lab mistake revealed that a tiny electric current can soften the cornea like clay—then lock it into perfect focus.
In early tests, vision was reshaped in minutes.
And doctors were stunned: it showed signs of repairing eye damage once thought irreversible.

It requires changing the pH of the lens temporarily and trickling a charge across it using a metal form that fits like a contact lens. Unfortunately, last I heard it was something only done on rabbit eyes and after they had been removed from the dead rabbits. I wonder if it could be used to clear up cataracts as well.
I told my wife's eye surgeon about it and he seemed pretty amped by the possibility, though he had not seen the paper.

"The State Department has now revoked over 100,000 visas, including some 8,000 student visas and 2,500 specialized visas for individuals who had encounters with U.S. law enforcement for criminal activity. We will continue to deport these thugs to keep America safe," the department said in a post on X.
The four leading causes for revocations were overstays, driving under the influence, assault and theft, State Department deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott said. The revocations marked a 150% increase from 2024, he added.
The State Department has also launched a Continuous Vetting Center aimed at ensuring "all foreign nationals on American soil comply with our laws — and that the visas of those who pose a threat to American citizens are swiftly revoked," Pigott said.
In November, the State Department said it had revoked around 80,000 non-immigrant visas since Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025, for offenses ranging from driving under the influence to assault and theft."

I thought it was the anesthetic talking, but she told me when she woke up from 5 hours of sleeping it off that it was the freckles.

The worst was traveling up I75 to work and two separate times a contractor truck had ladders fly off. The first time a ladder came at me, it popped into sliding a-frame mode, I just barely get away, then the idiot in the truck starts careening over, and I just slip between him and the sliding ladder. The second time an aluminum step ladder flies off, a car in front of me clips it, the ladder flies up and is hovering/spinning and I drive my car keanu/matrix style under/around the metal vortex of death.

Mine aren't quite ready for it yet, but the eye doc says probably within five years.
Everyone I know who's had modern cataract surgery (and, being an old bastard, I know quite a few of them) is extremely happy with it.
My late mother got the first eye done about 20 years ago, and immediately began badgering the doc to do the other one (they only do one eye at a time just in case something DOES go wrong).

Eye doctors try to get you to delay the procedure as long as possible. They will come up with everything. Hey you'll need to get cataracts fixed later might as well wait. Hey you'll have stigmatism, might as well wait. Just so they can keep you on the yearly complete replacement of everything, hand over all your money, scam train. I despise everyone involved in the eyeglass industry from the doctors on up.
I tried to save money by getting these aholes to put new lenses in their $$$$$ frames I got the year before. I get a call from the doctor, "hey dummy, the lab called, they decided to break your frames", ... what? "yeah they're trash now, so fork over more money, no no there is no warranty, they are legally allowed to violate you and your glasses however they want, you stupid sucker, HA HA HA HA!"

IOLs..Intra Ocular Lens. They can correct two out of three conditions. They can accomplish both spherical and cylindrical correction (near/farsightedness and astigmatism) but you're out of luck on presbyopia. If you have no astigmatism, there are IOLs that "fold" in response to the muscles of your eye, just like your young eyes did, allowing you to both see far and close clearly.
I wore glasses from a young age (another story) so I don't find it a burden to have plain glass lenses with the bifocals "spots" on them. Putting glasses on and off was a no go, and I didn't want to sport that Schmuckie Choomer glasses on the end of my nose.
My eyes were both 20/200 - only because I knew] that there was a "E" at the top of the chart. 20/15 today, except for book reading.

This past year I went back because KY requires a vision test to renew the driver's license. Prescription had not changed in the 7 years in between. So I thought, hey, lemme get some progressive bifocal. Mother fucker. With insurance, nothing else bought $800. Dear Lord.

"Hi friends.
This was two months ago, and I can now, with plans in place, share what's been happening.
November 6 was the day that I had to inform my daughter that I'd been given a prognosis of six months to live.
It came as one hell of a shock to me.
It's a long sordid tale of heart failure and sudden decline. The plan now is for me to move into the Mayo Clinic, next Wednesday, with no determination as to when I may leave.
The first step is to install an Impella heart pump to keep me alive until a heart becomes available. It could be a matter of weeks, it could be three months, it could be six months, and I will be in 24/7 residence in the transplant ward at Mayo until then.
I'm not even certain if i'm allowed to leave the ward to wander about the hospital or go sit outside in a courtyard. It stinks, but it's better than the alternative, which would have come on more quickly than they originally diagnosed.
It's been one hell of a process and, the current reality is that things are going to get rough before they get better, but there's hope for a brighter future ahead."

My eye sight is at the edge of what lenses can correct. I have to get high index of refraction polymers $$, then special grinding because they're still thick $$$, some AR coating to help with the weird chromatic aberrations that high index polymers cause $$$$, and then I'm 29 going on 60 so progressive lenses $$$$$. It all adds up. And then they will only put those lenses in certain frames. I pay upwards of $1500 / year. Much more if they talk me into the near/reading glasses plus far all day glasses. It's crazy. And the cheap online places, when I checked them 5-10 years ago were also expensive for the lenses I need.
But it's the frames the piss me off. Why can't I reuse them?? Because that cuts off their $$$$. I'm just their mark.

Concur. The Liberators was an illuminating book. Funny in a sad way.
The culture of a Communist Army is toxic. Note that the entire Army was becoming politically unreliable, and was pulled out of Czechoslovakia.
I imagine the North Koreans from The Russian Front are finding out the same thing.

Tousi TV: The Iran Strike Is Coming; US Has Delayed Because Israel Needed More Time to Prepare for Iran's Retaliatory Strikes, and US Needed More Troops In the Area
According to Mayhar Tousi, Trump has not called off the strike.
But action has been delayed because: 1, Israel asked the US to give it more time to prepare for Iran's inevitable ICBM barrage on Israel. I will add that I've heard scuttlebutt that Iran might launch dirty bombs, using up their enriched uranium to make Israel radioactive. 2, Tucker Carlson's patrons in Qatar have forbidden us to use our own base in that country for the attack. So... it's not our base then is it? 3, the military wants more assets in theater for the attack. Given that we can't use the base in Tucker Carlson's future homeland of Qatar, it makes it more important that the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier be in theater to launch planes. I believe that's sailing from the Pacific towards Iran. I've heard rumors that the attack is still on, too. I think Trump's statements about Iran having stopped massacring civilians could be an attempt to get Iran to stop killing them, because he needs more time to prep the attack, and he would like Iran to kill as few civilians as possible while we're forced to wait. Tousi offers more rumors. He says there are claims that the government is dividing up between the Regime and those plotting to overthrow the Regime. He says that, according to rumor, the former president and former foreign minister have both been arrested by the Revolutionary Guard for plotting against the government. They have not been seen in days, so it's possible.Anti-Islamic Occupation Iranians refuse to leave the streets despite martial law pic.twitter.com/E2wy2zpd2H

Partly there's the Shi'a martyrdom complex, which can be compared only with the Childrens' Crusade and other hardcores in mediaeval Christendom. Except that it's not the 1100s over here anymore, where in Iran, for these guys, it kind of is.
Also because we are talking about 30 year old losers (again, mostly men, but also some women) who have the status they have because they've tied themselves into this regime. If they lose, they are either getting hanged or else they are looking forward to decades of life being sneered at.

Foreign policy used to be a serious thing. Now it's a comedy show. The heritage foundation is running things. Trump does not care one iota about the Iranian people, they are a tool to deflect from unpopular decisions he's making elsewhere (or the ramifications of decisions), like not releasing all the Epistien files, or the shooting in Minnesota.
There used to be a whole subreddit where it was Trump quotes that contradicted previous Trump quotes. That man's words mean nothing.
If he is neither bluffing nor attacking them, then he has done the worst possible thing for the protesters. After weeks of threats, failing even to attempt intervention only reinforces the regime itself, making future protests even less likely to succeed.
What a historic betrayal after specifically telling protesters to keep going and that "help is on the way" banking on Trump helping you is the worst position in the world to be in. And that is exactly the position Iranians are in unfortunately

Here is the thing that gets me: According to Evangelicals, literally nothing bad can happen to Israel - especially a dirty bomb because allegedly the Antichrist is sitting around in his living room waiting to build a new Temple to be worshiped in.
So if you believe in Jesus, there should be zero fear of an ICBM barrage.

The man of lawlessness is going to prohibit worship in the temple, which implies that there is a temple. And (I think separately), he proclaims himself to be God in that temple, but I would assume he storms it by force. In any case I very much doubt that anyone involved in building it is doing it on his behalf.

There is a Pixy Limit and good sarcasm shouldn't be pages long with proofs and references.
For Dispensationalists to have their dream come true, they need a viable Russia and China, and looking at current trajectories, that window isn't open long.
Besides, Americans aren't supposed to be inconvenienced at all so when the economy collapses and the Left go on their murder spree unrepelled, then Evangelicals can game the system and force Jesus to return by making it bad enough.
But only if Americans get inconvenienced enough and a market crash and civil war is enough to signal the Tribulation.

Actually, Dispensationalism is pretty new. Most people ignored Darby, and Scofield's Bible was unknown until people started panicking around WW1 and WW2 and wanted answers from the clergy.
The Great Revival proposed Post Millennialism because at that time they thought the whole world would be saved. But that fell apart.
All the while, some form of Preterism and at least variations on Amillennialism has capture the minds of billions of Christians since even before St Peter wrote his epistles.
Dispensationalism is heretical in a number of ways and is almost exclusively a product of the American Religion.

Long ago I limited myself to predicting Trump's next moves.
Sometimes I'm on the bullseye, most of the time he surprises me. Most of the time I just watch and learn.
Some have mentioned it on here before that you really can't go by the president's words, and only follow his actions.
That's true enough.
He's the most unpredictable president of my lifetime, probably anybody's lifetime.
The only thing you can be sure of is that he prefers quick, deadly, and effective strikes that get to the heart of the matter over any sort of invasion or occupation.
And he likes to warn targets, and then telegraph what he's up to for months before he makes his move, usually doing things people never thought he'd do.

But it's going to be a much more complex operation, whichever way they jump.
I remember the 1979 takeover of Iran by the evil Ayatollah Khomeini and his thugs, and the American hostages being held for 444 days -- until the very morning Reagan was inaugurated, and there was finally a pair in the White House again. Once Goober Carter was out, they knew they'd better release them, or else.

I would be more worried about all the Iranian terrorist sleeper cells that exist in the U.S.A. who came in over the past 4+ years thanks to the third Obama Administration.
Has I.C.E. rounded up and deported all of them? I doubt it. Hell I.C.E. can't even stand up to antifa without running away. So instead of worrying about Iranian retaliatory strikes on Israel, I'd be worrying about Iranian retaliatory strikes on the U.S.A. by greenlighting their sleeper cells.

Who's Funding the Domestic Terrorist and Insurrectionary Groups in the US? Why, George Soros, the Ford Foundation, and Democrat Dark Money Groups, Of Course
We don't tolerate insurrection in this country. And we don't tolerate anyone who tolerates insurrection. Right? That's why it was justified to hound people who had merely been in chat groups with J6 "paraders," right?Jessica Costescu and Chuck RossThe illustration clearly shows one of the "de-arresters" about to hit the cop over the head, though -- probably on advice of lawyers -- the text claims that an "assault" merely could happen.
January 14, 2026
When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found. At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters to fight the Trump administration. For Sunrise Twin Cities, that means tormenting ICE agents on the ground. The group holds in-person "action trainings" on how to "stop ICE & build a revolution." It also maintains a running list of the Twin Cities hotels housing ICE agents and organizes late-night "noise demonstrations" aimed at making it "impossible" for those hotels to operate. Sunrise is bankrolled by a who's who of deep-pocketed left-wing organizations. Open Society Foundations has sent it $2 million since 2019, according to its grant database. Half of the money supported general "social welfare activities." The Ford Foundation contributed $150,000 in 2024 and $550,000 in 2025, while the MacArthur Foundation--the 12th-largest private charity in America--gave $250,000 in 2024, according to tax filings and grant disclosures. Sunrise says it generally rejects "checks that come with expectations of input on our strategy." It also says donations go to support its local chapters with "materials, housing, technology, food, travel, training expenses, and more." Sunrise Twin Cities has collaborated with two other local groups to drive anti-ICE demonstrations: Unidos MN and Defend the 612. Unidos, an "immigrant-led, BIPOC majority, multiracial, state-wide organization," leads a "rapid response" network through its affiliate group, Monarca. That network includes a 24/7 hotline that Twin Cities residents can call to report ICE activity. The group's trained "responders" are then dispatched to the area in an attempt to prevent ICE agents from making arrests. Like Sunrise, Unidos is backed by the Ford Foundation, which sent the group $400,000 in 2024. The left-wing dark money juggernaut Sixteen Thirty Fund sent Unidos $150,000 between 2021 and 2022, tax filings show. Defend the 612 offers similar "ICE Watch Welcome & Orientation" trainings for those in the Twin Cities interested in "documenting ICE activity." It also offers "Community Response Resources" that provide guidance on "Tracking Federal Agents." This includes a list of known ICE vehicles operating in the Twin Cities--or a list of "License Plates of Abductors," as Defend the 612 describes federal immigration agents. The group accepts donations through Cooperation Cannon River, a Minneapolis-based "social and environmental justice" nonprofit that has received funding from Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, the left-wing dark money giant Tides Foundation, and the Solutions Project, a grantmaking organization founded by actor Mark Ruffalo. Another group that operates its own ICE sighting hotline, Copal MN, has received $50,000 from the Tides Foundation and an additional $185,000 from the Sixteen Thirty Fund. The groups' funding sources underscore the extent to which Democratic billionaires prop up some of the more radical left-wing activism across the country. ... Good's wife, Becca Good, was on the scene and told Good to "drive" as the agents approached the SUV. Becca Good reportedly followed an Instagram page, "MN Ice Watch," that describes itself as an "autonomous collective documenting & resisting against ICE, police, & all colonial militarized regimes." Last June, the page posted training slides that it described as a "basic introduction to de-arresting," a tactic in which activists pressure police to release arrestees. One slide calls for "totally surrounding the officers who have the arrestee or otherwise blocking them and/or their vehicle and chanting 'Let them go!' and the like until the LEOs [law enforcement officers] cave to the mounting pressure." A second slide calls for "pulling and pushing an officer off of an arrestee and/or breaking their grip on an arrestee," a move the slide says is "probably the most risky as it requires physical contact with an officer."

@MattFinnFNC NEW: amid ongoing tension between Minnesota and Trump admin, DHS is calling on Gov. Walz & Mayor Frey to co-operate with 1,360 detainers of criminal illegal aliens after DHS says MN already released 470 criminal illegal aliens onto streets. "Governor Walz and Mayor Frey REFUSE to cooperate with ICE law enforcement and have released nearly 470 criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets of Minneapolis. We are calling on Walz and Frey to stop this dangerous policy and commit to honoring the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 1,360 criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota's custody," said Assistant Secretary @TriciaOhio. "It is common sense. Criminal illegal aliens should not be released back onto our streets to terrorize more innocent Americans."
- Leny Odemel Ramirez-Santos, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras charged with sex offense against a child -- fondling and driving under the influence of liquor.
- Edwin Amable Ashca Ninasuta, a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador with charges for lewd or lascivious acts with a minor.
- Lenda Neh Mama Epse George, a criminal illegal alien from Cameroon with charges for cruelty toward a child and domestic violence.
- German Adriano Llangari Inga, a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador charged with homicide -- negligent manslaughter with a vehicle and driving under the influence of liquor.
- Puol Both, a criminal illegal alien from Sudan convicted of making terroristic threats, burglary, first-degree aggravated robbery, and larceny.
- Somsalao Thonesavanh, a criminal illegal alien from Laos convicted of drug trafficking and selling a synthetic narcotic.

Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement. It's disgusting. Walz and Frey - I'm focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It's a promise.

an arrestee. Often combined with "tactic 1" this tactic is probably the most risky as it requires physi- cal contact with an officer which could lead to assault on an officer charges or escalate

Go ahead. Touch a cop. That's automatic aggravated assault, regardless of whether you used a weapon or not. And really screw up and do it to a state trooper. Because those guys play less than Fed do.

The vast majority of the people protesting, the really crazy ones, are middle aged liberal women. The liberal women often don't have a spouse. Or kids.
With feminism they are no longer treated as something to be protected, but just like everyone else.
Secretly they hate this. They want to feel special and important. They also don't have a man in their life they can order to protect them. They feel frightened by this. Frightened by society who doesn't give a shit about them.
So, they conjure up demons to slay and decide to go into battle themselves. They imagine, whatever their antics, that the ICE men will...notice them. and differ to them. And never harm them, no matter how stupid they act.
And it's all just a cry for attention. A cry for protection, to be made to feel special.

Problem is allowing State Street, Vanguard, and Blackrock to vote shares entrusted to them. They should be required to get buyin from fund holders which would stop a lot of do gooderism using other people's money.
Same with DEI, the fund managers are forcing the companies to walk the plank despite causing losses to the actual fund owners.
They can spend their own damn money doing that shit but like government types, demand the right to use other people's money to do that.

They are in violent defiance of black-letter law, which was written as bills and passed by our elected legislators, then signed into law by our elected executive. But that's just words; without enforcement, there is no substance of majoritarian popular self-rule, only formal play-acting.
Legislators are only the voice of democracy; cops are its hands. To oppose the enforcement of our laws is to oppose democratic self-governance itself, and they do.

Interestingly, they have different facets...and use different non-profit designations on each (501 c4, 501 c3 respectively), but show no discretion in their goals which is displayed prominently on their webpage. They are 100% partisan and in defiance of the current administration. They even note their full support for the Democrat party exclusively. Which would be a violation of their tax free status in bold letters.
They, IMO, are probably more devious, covert, and effective than any of the Soros entities. And, they should be treated as such.

Why have a super military when sub-retarded morons can steal trillions from us and arch-criminals can do any damned thing they want with zero fear of consequences?

She's more like a trophy wife, over-sexed, spoiled, fiercely protective of her offspring, likes spending Tommy's money. The only SJW thing she's done in the show is take some nursing home residents on occasional field trips- strip club, bowling, casino, etc.

Trump has zero interest in incarcerating American Citizens. I'm wondering how many dead ICE officers there are going to be.
It seems that the Left have reason to believe that they are bullet proof despite the Nicole Good incident, because the Administration refuses to do anything more than issue out Sick Burnz and send in more agents to get beat up and shot.

This is a pattern with ALL presidents. They dabble in domestic affairs, discover the hard way that the Regulatory And Bureaucratic Branch of the Fe'ral Government is the most powerful branch in Government then realize to have any meaningful legacy they need to beat up some weak or relatively harmless group of foreigners.
Syria, Libya, Bosnia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Grenada. No one with actual fighting skills or any resemblance of a military.
That is why the Iran hit surprised the world. Americans normally don't take on anyone stronger than the local NRA shooting club.

The only conclusion I can draw about people like Frey is they WANT a mom holding a baby to die. They are salivating over it. They want martyrs to hold up in the media and force public opinion against ICE.
We are lucky Renee was white, and had such a bad past of child abuse. And that the vids caught her taunting the officer. But they will one day find a perfect martyr, DEI mom with a baby in her arms who dies, and then all hell will break loose.

It's actually worse than that.
I suspect some of these moms want the *child* to die. Then the mothers can become martyrs for the cause (and of course gather up a bunch of money on GoFundMe and other sites).
It's sick and twisted, worthy of the Palestinian approach to protesting by throwing your own *children* into the pyre.

They want martyrs. Their tactics are designed to get a physical response. The activists are trained to do it and take the bullet. They're canon fodder by design and they know it. They're out there to bring down consequences, from arrest to death.
Eventually, they'll find a martyr to rally behind for wider action. This woman wasn't that martyr, but the next one might be. Or the one after.

Sarah Clarke is Frey's wife and the following are all known facts about her.
Wife of Minneapolis Mayor has direct ties to $9 billion Somali migrant fraud through the Feeding Our Future scheme
Sarah Clarke, the wife of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, worked at Hylden Advocacy & Law as a lobbyist and Director of Government Affairs (from around 2016 until January 2022).
The firm Hylden Advocacy & Law provided legal representation and lobbying services to Feeding Our Future, the NGO who orchestrated the massive $250 million federal child nutrition fraud scandal - the largest fraud case in U.S. history.
Hylden Advocacy & Law was also listed as a paid lobbyist for the Somali Museum of Minnesota, founded by Osman Ali.
The museum received $4.5 million in state funding months after Ali pleaded guilty in a separate fraud case.
Clarke left Hylden Advocacy & Law in January 2022, at the same exact time that federal investigations were heating up—including FBI raids on Feeding Our Future founder Aimee Bock’s home, office, and related sites.

"Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that she fired six federal prosecutors in Minnesota after they attempted to resign in protest over the Justice Department’s handling of the investigation into the fatal shooting of ICE protester Renee Nicole Good. Bondi claimed the prosecutors refused to support ICE and wanted to use their annual leave through April, calling it a taxpayer-funded "vacation."
During an appearance on Hannity, Bondi said: “I fired them all. They’re fired from the office.” She accused the prosecutors of not wanting to support law enforcement and criticized one for doing a photo shoot with The New York Times while ICE agents were “risking their lives.”
The affected prosecutors include Joseph Thompson, Harry Jacobs, Melinda Williams, Thomas Calhoun-Lopez, Ruth Schneider, and Tom Hollenhurst. A DOJ spokesperson previously said their resignations were unrelated to the shooting and tied to early retirement plans, but Bondi insisted their actions were a political refusal to cooperate with ICE investigations."

All those that participated in the multiple frauds must be either arrested and convicted, or at least deported "back home to the mothership", Somalia. But get them on tape first, admitting their crimes and their allegiance to the homeland, and their hate for America.

It's going to be one messed up trial.
Posted by: Braenyard
Not going to be a trial. Pretty much for an on duty ICE officer, in the line of duty, state courts have no say in charging them. Supremacy clause (see the Len Horiuchi case (Randy Weaver's wife and kid shooting in Idaho). The only people that could charge the ICE officer are teh DoJ itself and they are not.
You might get a civil rights case but again, only in federal court, not state and qualified immunity is a really hard thing to breach in civil suits for plaintiffs even if you win at district court level with a deranged judge and jury.

One evening they were at it and my husband and I decided to overwatch... they took exception to our presence and I got lippy, a "Karen" if you will and started screaming at them to get out. A very large male got in my face and called me a cunt. I slugged him in the mouth. He started screaming assault! Yer going to jail!
Police were called by neighbors who overheard the argument. I told them what happened and they ruled my reaction as reasonable given the cunt word invoked, and let us go.
Once home, my husband launched on me for putting not only me, but him in severe danger. The guy was 20 years younger, 5" taller and had him by 100lbs, and he said he would be compelled to defend me if it escalated further, and he was sure to be injured if that happened. Never seen him so mad.
That was the first time I truly understood the reality and true danger of inciting physical engagement.

That's a good point. Yes, even George Floyd, the neighborhood bully/junkie/dealer/crook/goon, was more sympathetic than the Kathleen Kennedy version.
He had a nice smile in that one photo! Easy and relaxed, with neither over-wide sanpaku (three-whites) crazy eyes, nor the small hard eyes of bitter strumpets with an ocean of free-floating resentment looking for a target to land on. I would in fact rather deal with a great big thug than a man-hating SJW, since I would favor my odds to talk my way around or just outrun him.

The rest of the quote- I posted above had quotes from a previous story from DoJ sources indicating they were already planning on retiring before the shooting.
So it could be a bit of Bondi bravado or the earlier sources for whatever reason did not want to

Bondi doesn't have the greatest credibility when she goes to the media but then again, neither do anonymous sources at the DoJ.

The antebellum women were some of the most virulent proponents about going to war with the US government. Add this to democrat-run States nullifying the Federal government's role in the country, Tim Waltz calling for insurrection in so many words, the courts excessively siding and protecting the principles of the new Confederacy, The Democrats devaluing US citizenship in favor of an illegal alien population, and so on, It takes us to a place that increasingly looks like 1860. I do have to say I never considered that Minnesota would become Bleeding Minnesota.

People adopt media personalities like they are friendz and shit. Those media personalities, in turn, would laugh and not even piss on such a viewer if they were on fire. The personality would be busy filming and practicing a 'sad' and 'concerned' face.
Media panels are just like pro wrestling and fake fight with each other for the same reason. Just like they play around with each other and laugh about the fools watching them and go to the bar together and get a drink.

Paramount's "Landman" Takes on Fragile SJW Pronoun Sissies; Newest, Gayest Star Trek Ever Crashes In Ratings
Emily Juniper 🇺🇸🇦🇺 𝕩I know someone who's watching it. She told me that liberal women are attacking the show for failing to write liberal women accurately. (Landman's wife is an AWFL.) She said no, the show does write liberal women completely accurately -- you just don't like seeing yourselves represented honestly.
@emilyjuniper_ Jan 13 🚨Paramount's Landman just put the pronoun debate in a chokehold. Ainsley Norris nails it: "Using a plural pronoun for one person is just kind of incorrect." TCU Counselor: "Says who?" Ainsley Norris: "Well, the English language." The world is healing
Paramount’s Landman OBLITERATES the pronouns argument after the show introduced a non-binary character as Ainsley Norris’s TCU roommate.

The early performance of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is shaping up to be a serious warning sign for Paramount+, with the show's free YouTube premiere delivering alarmingly weak engagement numbers that undercut the platform's entire conversion strategy and marked the show as a flop from the get-go. The Star Trek: Starfleet Academy premiere flop is already difficult to ignore. Paramount made the unusual decision to launch the series premiere for free on YouTube--typically a move designed to entice casual viewers and convert them into paid subscribers. But if the goal was to build momentum, the results so far suggest the opposite happened. The premiere episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy debuted on YouTube with a live premiere that peaked at roughly 1,300 concurrent viewers. In the 11 hours following its release, the episode accumulated approximately 16,000 total views--numbers that would be underwhelming for a mid-tier fan upload, let alone a flagship franchise entry from a major studio.

Yes. She made bad choices.
I'm willing to grant her some grace and accept that she thought she'd scare the agent by gunning it towards him, without out meaning to hit him.
But that's a stupid choice and directly responsible for her death. At to the "chaos" her (and those like her) previous stupid choices are what is driving the chaos in our world, NOT enforcing the laws that Democrats don't like.

I've also enjoyed the takes on why millennial AWFL women have made straight men so toxic to them, the only men they can handle are supernatural studs in their porn, or happily watch gay men in a hockey TV show having sex with each other. Theories as to how they have emasculated men in their real lives, choose the bear over men, and yet want virile masculinity in their fiction. It's been entertaining to read.
Posted by: LizLem at January 15, 2026 03:38 PM (gWBY1)
We both cracked up at his definition of The View, and roared over the dorm scene of the pronoun issue. The dyke was played perfectly. It was perfect in her safe space issues and she even had a stinky ferret (let's not forget the ferret's pronouns). To make Ainsely seem smart took a lot, and this part of the show did (I defend her when my husband mocks her).
We loved it and want more! I am a huge Sam Elliot fan, but know he's a lefty in politics.
We veer from movies, to comedy, to various series,Westerns, to violence and mayhem. It all depends on what the remote control guy lands on and we approve (meaning no ghey stuff or really hideous stuff).
We watch tv a total of 1hr a day (not counting his sports stuff in the basement while I read).
Landman suited us for about 2wks of our hourly tv brainspan and our own dialogue.
We hope for a 3rd series.

Bonus - they film lots of scenes in Fort Worth, so the actors can be seen in local eateries around town. Billy Bob Thornton LOVES Fort Worth and her people - and we love him right back.
Funny story - the "set" for one of the restaurants on the show was actually built right outside of the loop on one of the main roads in town. All of the locals saw it going up and thought their neighborhood was getting a new restaurant. They were kinda crushed when they realized it wasn't a real place to eat 🤣🤣🤣

I was always jealous of people who could watch ST TNG. Because all the chix, even the Perkins 6 level ones, wore those outfits that made their bobs look spectacular.
But I just couldn't bring myself to watch more than half an episode.

I got asked to leave a meeting at my bank (on business loans). There were a group of six of us, and expectedly, the first thing we had to do is go around the table and introduce ourselves. One guy insisted on sharing his "non-binary" pronouns of "They and Them". He specifically stated, "My preferred pronouns are they and them."
To which I interjected. "You mean "OUR preferred pronouns are they and them. 'My' is a singular pronoun." He got snippy. I proceeded to correct him every time he used the pronoun "I", which was often. The "They Thems" sure like to talk about themselves incessantly. Eventually, the manager in charge of the meeting asked me to leave, to which I had no problem. On the way out the door I looking at Mr. Plural Pronoun and said, "All of you have a nice day."

Naw. Will never happen. She's her Mama's girl and a Texas cheerleader.
I was similar to her in looks but very, very naive with guys. I knew what they wanted and it was not to give (after some HS drive in adventures OF HAVING MY EAR LICKED! Which I still can't figure out what that was supposed to do to me).
In college I still had the ability to see through people and fakes and wackos. Rarely dated but had guy friends. Granted, my thinking became a bit more liberal, as I believed the propaganda from the newspaper for awhile regarding politics. It didn't stick as once I had our first baby boy I was a Reagan Conservative.

I distinctly saw a character who is not a "person." It was some sort of Romulan or whatever the hell they are -- I haven't watched any Star Trek fare of any sort since the last movie with the original cast.
Also, why did that obnoxious DEI trainer quote Oscar Wilde (other than the fact that he was gay)? Have there been no significant additions to English literature or thought between now and Star Date bazillion or whenever it is?

Liberal Trek fans I know got smug that in TNG, we'd created a socialist utopia where there's no conflict among federation members on the ship and no need for money. This new show blows all that up. Or will trigger them their perfect fictional socialist utopia failed. Again.
It's why I loved TOS. It real raw and real and dealt with real human issues. TNG felt more sterile, like we'd sanded off the rough parts of life by hand waving them away.

As soon as Roddenberry died, the TNG writers basically rebelled from his Rules to make a Snore Fest.
The first season the writers were not allowed to write interpersonal conflicts(!!)
In theme with Roddenberry's ludicrous progress dreams in TOS, he determined that the future would solve the whole issue of interpersonal conflicts. The writers almost choked when he laid down this rule.
Apparently, Roddenberry had lost all his notes on the Kirk series and could not remember that disagreements made the show what it was.

We just didn’t want to do that. We want to be with our children. So, that’s when I think the biggest change was. We came back after that summer, and we just made a go for it."

This is the grandpa of the 6 year old son Renee dropped off at the radical day care, right? I hope so. If the kid gets raised by this guys, they might have a fighting chance at a normal life.
Possibly.
He doesn't blame anybody, even Good who accelerated into an ICE guy. He doesn't blame lesbowife who admitted to getting Good to go there and then egged her on to drive into ICE guy.
I get trying to take a religious high road in the situation, and I understand he is likely grieving.
But there is clear blame to be laid at the room temperature AWFL and her lesbowife.

That does show up in science fiction shows (including Star Trek). They'll mention three figures from their past. Two of them will be recognizable to the audience as from before the time when the show was made. The third will be a fictional figure from a future time frame.

Tulsa King, also a Taylor Sheridan series, and also worth watching, is on Paramount Plus as well.
While I've enjoyed some of Stallone's movies in the past, he never really impressed me with his acting ability until Tulsa King. He's very, very good in this role.
Sheridan has four or five series going at once. I don't know how he does it.

that's a common problem in science fiction. Star Trek Academy takes place 1000 years in the future or so. You'd think there'd be some alien dilettante she could quote instead.
But no, she has to make a reference to a historical figure that the AUDIENCE might recognize instead of the characters in the show.

Bones calling Spock an unfeeling hobgoblin, or whatever he called him, would get him canceled by this new starfleet academy. But even though they had prejudices, they overcame them. That was the beauty of the show.
Undiscovered Country is still my fave Trek movie. Because Kirk has to overcome his prejudices. About helping the Klingons after still not forgiving for the death of his son:
"Let them die!"

Taylor Sheridan’s writing tends to contrast rough, traditional, working-class masculinity (the oil patch) with privileged, often dysfunctional elite society (Dallas high-society world where Angela lives). But that elite world in Landman is Texas oil money—culturally more conservative/Republican than coastal liberal. Angela embodies the spoiled, high-maintenance ex-wife of a wealthy oil exec, not the stereotypical performative progressive.
The “L” (liberal) in AWFL doesn’t actually apply here. She’s emphatically affluent white female, and she hits a lot of the entitlement/hypocrisy beats that annoy viewers (the gala scenes, the dramatic personal life, the detachment from the dangerous work that funds her lifestyle), but without the progressive political or cultural signaling, she doesn’t fit the specific AWFL archetype.
The term wouldn’t land accurately if applied to her—the stereotype is aimed at a different demographic (think coastal, college-educated, virtue-signaling wine-mom types). Angela is more of a classic Texas socialite trope: glamorous, messy, privileged, and apolitical.

I mean, it's not like you have to establish a brand or explain the premise of new intellectual property; Star Trek franchise(s) have been around since the late 60's. It's an eternity of background and public awareness. So getting that insignificant a number has to be horrifying... unless you're intentionally trying to bury it.

Titan, one of Saturn's moons-
Chemical composition and surface roughness of the lakes:
According to Cassini data, scientists announced on February 13, 2008, that Titan hosts within its polar lakes "hundreds of times more natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth." The desert sand dunes along the equator, while devoid of open liquid, nonetheless hold more organics than all of Earth's coal reserves. It has been estimated that the visible lakes and seas of Titan contain about 300 times the volume of Earth's proven oil reserves.
Meanwhile back here on earth, we have enough proven oil/gas reserves to last (at current rate of usage) about 400 years.

I actually watched about 30 minutes of a Tig Notaro "comedy" special one time. She told one barely funny half-joke about being a 40 y.o. woman with an A cup who still gets breast cancer. It was literally the most boring stand-up routine I have ever watched in my life. Notaro is proof that Hollywood is no meritocracy, and doesn't even attempt to be one.

Trump: "I Don't Think We Need" Antisemites in the GOP
Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Megyn Kelly, and Candace Owens hardest hit.
Or are they? Carlson and Owens barely pretend to be Trump supporters, and Nick Fuentes urged his "Groyper" followers to vote for Kamala Harris. "Grandma Groyper" Megyn Kelly, meanwhile, just supports whatever position she thinks is hot with the TikTok generation this week.President Trump had a resounding no for any antisemites claiming to be part of the Republican Party or his MAGA movement. "I think we don't need them," he told The New York Times in an interview. "I think we don't like them." His comments, made in a Wednesday interview but published on Sunday, came after a series of high profile ultra-conservative figures have made controversial comments about the Jewish people and antisemitic speech has split Republicans. Trump said: "I condemn" antisemitism. He said he's an ally of Israel and was awarded its Israel Prize, considered the country's highest honor. ... "My daughter happens to be Jewish, beautiful, three grandchildren are Jewish," he said. "I'm very proud of them. I'm very proud of the whole, that whole family. I am the least antisemitic person probably there is anywhere in the world." But the Republican Party has been roiled by series controversies that have garnered wide-spread public attention. A group of young Republican leaders, in the fall, were revealed to praise Adolf Hitler in a series of chat groups. And the Heritage Foundation, a premier conservative think tank in Washington DC, was roiled by a staff outcry after President Kevin Roberts defended a far-right figure who made anti-semitic remarks. Roberts sparked the wave of resignations among the think tank after defending Tucker Carlson for interviewing Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his platform.

Tucker Carlson has described nuclear weapons as "demonic" and "prima facie evil," questioning the moral justification for the atomic bombings of Japan on civilians
.
His specific comments on the issue include: "Demonic" forces and no upside: In a November 2024 discussion, Carlson stated that nuclear weapons are "demonic, there's no upside to them at all," and suggested that the forces involved in their creation "were not human forces obviously". "Prima facie evil": During an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in early 2024, Carlson argued that it is "wrong to drop nuclear weapons on people" and labeled the act of defending the use of atomic bombs on civilians as "prima facie evil". Questioning historical justification: He has questioned the common argument that the bombings saved lives by preventing a mainland invasion of Japan, suggesting this justification is a "mindless and childish intellectual exercise".
In Tucker land, the US dropping nukes to end a world war and save millions of lives was an unjustifiable, unforgivable act.
— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) January 15, 2026
But Russia threatening to nuke Europe over a regional war they started is perfectly reasonable and not worthy of immediate condemnation.
Weird, right? https://t.co/sQ5eOCeodz
Yesterday: you know, Russia would be within their rights to just nuke Europe.

Nah, I think they're laughing all the way to the bank. This is performance art for them.
The more outrageous things they say, the more clicks and money they make. Sucker, Dick, and Candass are also getting direct payments from anti-Israel sources. Me-gain is probably taking bribes as well.
This is why even though they should be called out, I don't like talking about these parasites, because it only increases their exposure -- which is exactly what they want. There's no such thing as bad PR in their world.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at January 15, 2026 02:32 PM (iFTx/)
The key here is to not consider everyone called antisemite to actually BE one. For example, it is perfectly fine to criticize Israel if they do something stupid (shooting a church with a tank) or something wrong (attacking USS Liberty). The difference is, are you saying "they did this thing wrong" or are you saying "those Jews did it again in their usual Jooey way!"

He's been a bit erratic in the past. Overstating cases that could be said more reasonably. But now he seems to be doubling down on his last overreaction too much.
I was a big fan of his TV show. That does not mean that some of the things he said didn't make me cringe. That doesn't mean that I thought he was too placative of Greenwald and some other helpful liberals.

I hate stupid people like this.
BOTH cities had significant military production and presence. They were legitimate military targets.
MORESO, we killed fewer people in Hiroshima than our conventional bombing of Tokyo. Nagasaki was bigger, but still within the same realm of casualties of a major city.
EVEN MORESO, we saved Japanese lives by bombing those cities. Their fanatical military would have insisted on fighting to the last man, woman, and child and kill as many US Servicemen (USAGI) as they could. (Which is the more pertinent statistic, but these evil people would have been fine with 1M+ Americans dead if we just didn't drop those evil bombs!)
It was the greatest act of mercy the US could have done to stop Japan from fighting to the end.

Descends down the mothers' line. Jewish mother? You are Jewish. Jewish father? Depends on the mother. Which is why you see kids with very Jewish names because of the father but who are Christian because the mother is.
Anyone can convert and as long as it's serious, I believe that person is considered as much a Jew as any other Jew. Maybe even more so, because he or she chose it.

Its a larger percentage of fatiguers than most other groups, admittedly, but still the minority by a large margin. Its just the black people who are not knuckleheaded fools don't get any media attention, music, or entertainment portrayals except in rare occasions.

You can also convert, as you can with any belief system.
I had a school friend who converted from Catholicism to Judaism when she married, and she and her husband raised their kids in the Jewish tradition and practice.

They also don't observe ritual sacrifice like was a central part of pre-Christian Judaism.
See, Christians keep alive the meaning of sacrifice. Weekly or Monthly, we have a ritual asserting the value of the "spotless lamb". Jews act like it was never that much a part of it. But Christians kept the centrality of the "temple sacrifice". Some people view that as the barbaric part of Christianity that refuses to move with the times.
But that still makes Christianity an argument for the more central continuation of the Yahwistic tradition. As opposed to those that "progressed". The only "progress" that Christians cite is the perfection of the sacrifice which creates a definitive juncture at which the sacrifice only needs to be remembered.

Fox is a network that relies on its version of Only Fans presenters dance only to the Murdoch's tunes. Cucker had to be sacrificed for the Dominion lawsuit sham involving Murdochs colluding with Dominion to work. Remember the trigger for the shutdown of counting was Fox's own deep Dem shill that ran the prediction desk then and still does. The Murdochs, as globalists, were in on Biden's steal.
Noticeably Cucker was not that upset as he already saw his next grift and the notoriety of being a 'true standup guy' for the Right made it an easy transition to podcasting.
Anyone expecting virtue in a media type is like expecting chastity from an Only Fans performer.

thx for all the comments on this. I can't recall any old testament verses about conversions, but lots of who begat whom verses. I think Jesus had "pure bloodlines" from Mary and even Joseph, though Joseph was not the biological father.
People can "convert to any belief system" in thinking, but even early NT (gospels) there was Jew and Gentile, they (only?) mixed with Christianity, where they became of one body (if they believed).

I learned by watching a series by an ex-Jewish Rabbi and scholar, turned Messianic Rabbi and scholar things I never expected to learn from my original dabbling in Christianity.
I had placidly accepted the idea that Judaism simply continued on, only difference was that they didn't accept Jesus as the Messiah.
However, long-standing doctrines of Biblical interpretation were changed because they were too effective for Christian evangelists. Thus, Christianity was carried forth with these long-standing pre-Christian interpretations of scripture. And the Teachers of the Law simply discontinued and forbade them.
Let me repeat that this is 180-degrees from my initial tacit expectations.

There is this shared assumption that nuclear weapons are worse than anything else, and someone dying to an atom bomb is worse than from a regular bomb. Its ridiculous. People seem to think we're playing Defender and fire off Smart Bombs that only harm the bad guys. That 1000 pound bomb with TNT blew up babies and widows and old men in wheelchairs just as much as it did soldiers. The buildings damaged by bombs collapsed on families and SS officers equally.
The only difference between a conventional bomb and an atomic/nuclear one is the size of destruction. Instead of dropping 2,700 tons of bombs on Dresden, we could drop one Atomic bomb but ultimately the results are the same.

It is always harder and more exhausting, like in court, to actively listen for the false notes, the subtle inconsistencies, and the jumps in logic. In a written document, it is child's play.

They are far more sensitive to temp changes than us Americans, who can just close the windows and crank on AC or a swamp cooler on the hot days to cool our homes. So they get fooled by the "look how hot it is this summer, you're melting the planet!"

During the Battle of Manila, which raged from Feb. 3, 1945 to March 3, 1945, it is estimated that Japanese military forces killed approximately 100,000 Filipino civilians. That's about the same number of people killed in Hiroshima alone.

"He has a demon" they said of the guy doing those acts. And the spirit that he had was the Holy Spirit.
The rank-and-file Pharisee confronting Jesus had no Schmeka (authority) to challenge any authoritative interpretation. So, scribes and teachers, with little authority, were basically saying that what had been held to be a sign of the Messiah, could be done with parlor tricks and a demon.
This is why I argue that most moderns cannot commit Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. It requires a doctrine that only the Messiah could heal a man born blind and that would be a sign. Atheists don't believe in such an entity to be a condition to be *revealed*. The idea that there is a Messiah is as daft as the idea that there is a God. They also would more likely believe that Jesus' healings are not actual accounts, not things that they themselves investigated (per Gospels) and attributed to "demons

And so JC is our high priest forever, after the order of Melchizedec (in Hebrews). But Hebrews also says there is no more Jew nor Gentile, but all are one in Christ Jesus. (and there can be fake Jews and fake Christians that do not believe or honor their scriptures)
The Great Mystery is the one body with Christ as the head, and we a joint heirs, members in particular. That is progress, we are no longer under the law. It is not about just remembering the sacrifice, it is about serving in the one body (not a denomination).

Mormons who haven't bought into the "be nice to the point you're a pushover" attitude that plagues the Mitt Romneys in our religion, and have actually studied our history the way I have, know how evil big government can get with religions. I am the fiercest ally for pro second amendment, limited government, maximum personal freedom tied to civic responsibility. But the feckless Mormons with TDS drive me bonkers.

On anyone, I don't care what they watch, who they listen too, or cancelling someone because suzy said that freddy said that ferris did this or that.
My opinion is that in media, there are people willing to take the ticket when the time comes for wealth and fame beyond dreams if only they play ball. And those approaches come from a friend, a trusted source, etc.
Bad enough in print but far easier to see and crosscheck (try reading a transcript of something like the Spew View show versus watching it). You will find all the demagogues' tricks while surprisingly little actual content. Video is aimed at our emotions. It presents little nuggets of fact without an obvious framework, while not including material omissions of fact and linkages of those facts unless you have direct knowledge otherwise.
This leads people to come up with their own conclusions that---ta da-- are what the presenter wanted them to think. They now proudly proclaim Gnostic knowledge by watching this show.

They were easily as horrific and evil as the Nazis, just less efficient at it. But they were forgiven, their evils buried and forgotten, and got a pass on it all largely because the Jewish people ran entertainment and news, so they made damn sure everyone knew what the Nazis did. Not that they wanted to give Japanese a pass, but that they weren't as aware and focused on it.
So by default, the Imperial Japanese were just "nice enough guys that fought us" so much so that Spielberg decided that Pacific had to be partly about how awful the US was to Japanese.

Like that in every single wave of feminism, the elitist, most privileged, and most man hating of the women in those movements were all rabid, rabid antisemites. One of them in the 1800s ran a women's prep school, and tried to keep out Jewish girls because she was a crazy racist. Second wave 60s feminism has its share of antisemites. And now the modern 3rd wave has its Muslim members who want all the Jews exterminated.

I would add that most (almost all?) of the Japanese atrocities were inflicted on fellow Asians. So Europe and the USA had less reason to care.

Those people making the claim, "It was unnecessary! Ree!!!" are either ignorant or $s!t-stirrers. If you read anything about the planning for Operation Olympic, it's chilling.
I remember reading a memoir of a Marine who progressed from Rifleman to Captain via battlefield promotions, and he mentioned that he questioned why the Marine Division he was no longer the Operations Plan after about D-Day +2 or 3. The reply was, "Oh, youre Division is going to be combat-ineffective with over 66% casualties by then." The author admitted to loosing no sleep over nuking Japan.
We were also actively preparing to move troops from the European Theater of Operations to the Pacific Theater after Germany surrendered. Needless to say, the troops in the ETO weren't thrilled.
The Allies were close to exhaustion. The British and Commonwealth were just about done for. By 1945, the U.S. was doing all of the heavy lifting. The civilians were starting to get pretty antsy over the casualty numbers. Nuking Japan was necessary.

Honestly, I think its ok to question things. That is what history is for. I fully expect subsequent generations to question the decision as they will not have any first hand knowledge or touch any first hand source. And that is fine. But I also think a lot of it is just to be controversial and gain attention. But I also think that more people should ask the question ... have we used them enough? That's a far more intriguing question to me. Because whether we were justified or not is an easy answer.

That, and I would speculate that we contemporaneously considered that we were far more in need of an Asian ally seeing how easily they steamrolled our Pacific holdings early on, looking at China, and in comparison, Europe was less of an urgent priority as Germany was utterly defeated in the burn-scatter-salt sense, and we could rely (yeah, I know) on European allies to address Russian expansionism (again this is speculation about contemporaneous thought).

Wise. The reason some of these disputes becomes so large is that the stakes are so small but they challenge identity as the one true denomination.
My thought is that the Father and Holy Spirit gave us the guidelines in teh Bible, and the Son gives us salvation, so the rest of it is arguing about minutia that does not affect the core teachings of salvation. While taken out of context, Jesus himself was the authority on the law by virtue of who he is, and thus his replies to religious authorities of the time are appropos.
I have no opinion on Dispensationalism or the salvation of others outside the Christian faith as that is for the holy Trinity, not me. For me, Jesus is the Way. YMMV.

They were training the women and children to kill American with bamboo spears. I read one speculation that the Americans would have probably had to kill over 10 million Japanese civilian close-up and personal.
On top of the brutality of the Japanese military, and the behavior of the civilians on Okinawa, a true genocide of the Japanese was a distinct possibility. Nuking Japan was the least-bad choice. The Japanese were not going to surrender until we made them.

If you need something to watch, the new Knives Out film was surprisingly respectful of Catholics!! Rian Johnson must have been a true believer at one point, but still has people in it he loves. Be sure it does a good job of ripping down the hypocrites and heretics, while being respectful of the true believers who actually try to walk the path of Christ. Highly recommend.
I feel like the first Knives out movie spoofed the creepy house rich party that ends in a murder. The second spoofed the ones of rich people in a glamorous location or island and then there's a murder. And this one spoofs the church clergy whodunits like father brown. Wonder what he'll do in the series next. This third one might be my fave.

My main point is that the sacrifice and cleansing by the sacrifice stays central in Christian symbology.
Now, I grant that there could be Jews out there who's main counter is valid. They can only sacrifice at the Temple in Jerusalem. That temple is no longer there, thus they cannot now do those rituals. And I'm pretty sure they do not know who's a Levite or a descendent of Aaron and who is not.
But I would reject other notions such that "I did not command you about sacrifice" means sacrifice is a atavism. Because that would fail to be more continuous with Jewish faith, regardless of whether or not Yahweh himself intended that change.
The destruction of the temple is not a clear message as to what was discontinued and why it was. More telling is the 40 years--documented in the Talmud--before the destruction where the Day of Atonement basically *failed*. The signs that Yahweh did not accept the sacrifice were *there*. The huge and heavy doors to the temple would not *stay closed*.
The destruction of the Temple was only the final sign that Yahweh had abandoned the Temple. Now what happend 40 years before?

Well worth rereading it. You see every kind of human folly and sin and yet the Father is forgiving to repentant sinners and faithful to his words always. Lot of unpleasant reminders of human nature at its worst, lot of wisdom, and a lot to ponder about the signalling of the coming Messiah.

I've also enjoyed the takes on why millennial AWFL women have made straight men so toxic to them, the only men they can handle are supernatural studs in their porn, or happily watch gay men in a hockey TV show having sex with each other. Theories as to how they have emasculated men in their real lives, choose the bear over men, and yet want virile masculinity in their fiction. It's been entertaining to read.

I grew up Catholic to Confirmation. I fully expect that a good number of Catholics are my brothers in Christ.
Catholics do seem to have been *way* ahead of a number of protestant mainstream branches on being really against abortion. Catholic services send a lot of money to the needy. Very scriptural.
However, my understanding of scripture has little to do with Catholic doctrine and I suspect it will continue to. Even though I've been a tad skeptical of external doctrines my entire Christian life. Including Sola Scriptura.
I've learned a HELL of a lot from Biblical scholars who know MORE than just the text of the Bible, but history and culture of the area which gives it shades. Greek word studies is also key.

One quick point. I would rephrase "prejudices towards other religions" as "suspicion of other religions". Still a prejudice but I think semantically it's closer. Many American Jews aren't even religious, but given their history still feel vulnerable. Heck some of them even distance themselves from Judaism because they feel it makes them more of a target. And of course the Left cultivates this.

First, the "barely pretend to be Trump supporters" line is pure fiction. Tucker actively endorsed Trump in 2024, spoke at his rallies, helped broker key alliances (like RFK Jr.'s endorsement), and even appeared alongside him at events. As recently as this month (January 2026), Tucker was invited to the White House for a high-profile meeting with Trump and oil executives on Venezuela—hardly the treatment afforded to an "anti-Trump" figure. Their relationship has had bumps (mostly over foreign policy nuance like Iran), but Trump himself has repeatedly defended Tucker, including after the Fuentes interview, saying you "can't tell him who to interview."

New Nick Shirley Video: Somali Pirates Are Defrauding Us for Hundreds of Millions of Dollars by Running Fake Taxpayer-Funded Transporation Companies
Nick Shirley digs deeper: the taxi scam propping up welfare fraud In his latest on-the-ground video, conservative journalist Nick Shirley turns his attention squarely to taxpayer-funded taxi operations in Minneapolis, zeroing in on Somali-run transportation companies paid through Medicaid to ferry low-income and medically vulnerable residents to appointments, government offices, and essential services. This time, Shirley documents visits to multiple listed business addresses that are supposed to be operating taxi services. What he finds instead are empty or questionable locations and angry confrontations--plenty of shouting, but no paperwork, schedules, vehicles, or proof that legitimate transportation services are actually being provided to Minnesotans footing the bill. "These transportation companies are what hold all the aid and welfare fraud together," Shirley says in the video, arguing that the taxi operations act as the connective tissue linking fraudulent daycare centers, adult care programs, and healthcare providers. According to Shirley, the coordination between these entities creates the appearance of legitimate services while enabling mass billing of Medicaid. His colleague David Hoch puts it more bluntly: "We're shining the light on the fraud, and they have no defense." The taxi focus has also prompted new firsthand accounts from locals. In one TikTok video now circulating widely, a former drug addict claims Somali taxi drivers paid him simply to sign ride receipts--documents later used to bill Medicaid--allowing drivers to collect taxpayer money for trips that never happened. As Shirley's taxi-focused investigation spread, Minnesota's political and media establishment began quietly conceding what watchdogs have warned about for years. The Minnesota Star Tribune acknowledged that non-emergency medical transportation--including taxi services--has long been vulnerable to fraud, citing industry insiders who say alarms have been ignored. Scott Isaacson, president of the Minnesota R-80 Transportation Coalition, told the paper that people working in the transportation sector have "been ringing the fraud bell for quite some time," pointing to repeated abuses baked into the system. State data underscores the scale. Minnesota Department of Human Services records show Medicaid transportation billings climbing from roughly $80 million in 2018 to more than $115 million by 2024, before dipping last year to about $88 million. The concerns aren't new. More than 15 years ago, Minnesota's Office of the Legislative Auditor warned that the state exercised "little statewide oversight" over medical transportation, including taxi services, allowing excessive mileage, unnecessary trips, and weak authorization controls.It's almost as if Democrats deliberately make it impossible to verify if these charges are real.
... Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking with conservative activist Christopher Rufo earlier this month, indicated investigators are deliberately building a sweeping fraud, kickback, and racketeering case tied to Minnesota's Democrat political apparatus. "My personal motto, and the Treasury motto, is move deliberately and fix things," Bessent said on the podcast. "You're not going to see headlines tomorrow. You're not going to see them next week, but in a month, or a quarter, once we get people in the bear trap, they're not getting out because we will have conclusive evidence to present." Bessent suggested prosecutors expect plea deals that force lower-level players to flip on those higher up the chain, allowing investigators to map how the system operated and who benefited. "I think that they will have to make plea deals ... to turn in higher-ups to help us map out how this happened," he said. And Minnesota, he added, is only the starting point. "We're going to take this Minnesota strategy map to the other 49 states."
Below, Somali "businesses" paid by the taxpayer to supposedly ferry sick people to doctors turn out to have no vehicles and no parking lots. In one case, they found a bunch of vehicles -- which you paid for -- but those vehicles haven't been moved for six months. They find no signs of legitimate taxi services, but they do find a lot of Somali thugs physically menacing them.
David at a FRAUDULENT Minnesota transportation company: “None of these vehicles have moved in 8 months. I’ve been taking date stamp photos—all these vehicles are in the exact spot they were 8 months ago.”

"That would essentially mean that the Somalis were taking a $1 million dollar duffle bag through the airport — EVERY SINGLE DAY — for two years.
Further, we can assume that this is only the money that was flagged.
If the Somalis were just wandering through without declaring every cash bag, we could be talking 10x the amount.
The question then became:
WHY Minneapolis?
Well, after some quick discussing with regular travelers of the MN airports.
The Somalis run the airport.
They’re the ground crews.
They’re the airport staff.
They’re friggin TSA.
We have an airport in the United States of America run by pirates.
That’s kind of a problem. "

Okay, so to be perfectly honest the whole welfare system is built completely on fraud. The Federal government has no authority to do any of this anyway, they just tell the States, "Hey, do this for us and we'll pay you." And state legislators love this cuz it means they themselves don't have to take hard votes on raising taxes that might mean they lose reelection. I mean that arrangement is corrupt as fuck right there.
The best solution is the one no one wants because everyone is stupid and irresponsible and willing to allow themselves to be governed by wolves.

Someone was smart pre-fraud. Import thousands of compliant Somolians. Pluck the heartstrings of everyone: kids, elderly, sick and poor.
Create "grants" to fraud the government, especially Medicaid, for "daycare, home health care, non-emergency transport."
Plus free housing and (I don't know the amt there, but have read for other Dim states), totally free & untaxed $1200- $1500/month for the illegals. Free healthcare at any ED.
Then go for the "normal" welfare used by low income US CITIZENS, who should be outraged: SNAP & WIC benefits to feed children. Granted legal citizens spend SNAP on Doritos and lobster, regardless, dipping into that system.
This creates a voting bloc to vote (D) even if you can't read, you can find the "D" on a ballot.
Due to being poor and downtrodden, use the past bussing ideas for stuffing ballot boxes. Arrive by busses from nursing homes, or paying a homeless person for a vote.
And here we are.
Fraud certainly explains where/why our country is in debt. Why we have elderly and senile Congress critters enriching income, as kickbacks (from pork bills).
It's worse than I thought.

The fraud, waste, and abuse is everywhere. It is just that the Somalians were so careless they didn't care or weren't smart enough to cover for it.
Bessent mentioned 350-600 billion in fraud, Musk says about 1.5 Trillion, between 600 billion and 1.5 trillion per year. If we roughly split the difference since 2009 when Obama came in at 1 trillion per year on average, that would mean out of 38 trillion, that 16 trillion was fraud, waste, or abuse spending. With interest, that would be over half of the current federal debt.
Pissed away for our ruling elite to become generationally wealthy, politicians to win reelection and get donor funding, to spur the world economy for believed nat sec purposes, and to bankrupt the US.

He didnt “expose” anything lmao. The entire video is literally him harassing Somalis with unverified claims and crying that they dont want to play his game anymore.
Nick Shirley has subhuman IQ and his reporting was totally fraudulent. That would matter to you if you weren't a basic partisan cheerleader for your favorite pedophile.
Nick Shirley is the average republican: easily confused, getting scared about things he doesnt understand, getting taken advantage by people richer and smarter than he is and without a doubt being absolutely retarded.
Do you think Nick would get the attention if he were to report on the easy to find fraud from folks like Trevor Milton (pardoned by Trump)? Probably not because he's MAGA, and white.
If they are in fact guilty they may to consider a donation to Trumps Super PAC and this problem will just go away.
The stats saying 90% of Somalis are on welfare come from a group The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled "hate group" for their anti-immigrant stance.

The localized aspect of the violence indicates their numbers are small.
Their quick dispersal before they could get into the weapons box is indication that they fear the feds that came after them.

The scam was to get a bunch of guys in a van or bus. Crash the van into another van full of guys. Both vans and all the guys are in on it.
You know have 12-15 people all claiming injury. They all go to the same medical clinic/doctor. The clinic bilks the fuck out of the insurance company for fake injuries. The transportation company does the same, pretending to ferry the guys back and forth to the clinic. The "injured" guys all get a piece of this action.
Then the lawyers sue for personal injuries, and again everyone gets a piece. We're taking millions of dollars just from one "accident."

You're free to wish that.
It doesn't make it the best tactical decision.
As I fully think Trump is planning to have another election, the People will ultimately decide who gets to continue in charge of this country. There will be another vote, and the administration is going to have to look guiltless enough to win it.
The people may agree with "Yeah, we had the power and the Constitutional prerogative to do it." But, they may not.

I'm the same way. I don't like that Good was shot. I don't think the officer did any good shooting her. That's got nothing to do with what was well within legal power. The caveat on that opinion is that I'm not comfortable saying what he should have done given how quick his own phone vid shows it happened. She backed and turned toward where he was standing.
It happened so fast that loonies are now saying that the video was "sped up". Because they know that at the speed it shows, they have less of a case.

Not to mention transport. Virtually all EU owned air transport is about 100 or so A400s (C-130 style modern tactical transport). The US has even more C-17s, about 225, plus C-130s...
The old US Army infantry division (Light) standard from the late Cold War era was putting a full division of troops and supplies for 30 days operation (virtually no vehicles though) on the ground in about 500 sorties. Wildly optimistic as it turns out. We used to darkly joke that our job was to be flown in to quickly die in a loud, military manner so that the heavy US forces could build up and avenge our deaths 6 months later.
The EU is gonna have to borrow some airlift to put anything more than a tripwire into Greenland (I keep pointing this out, but it's a big factor)

Is it just dozens/hundreds? of Somali scammers pooling their individual scams into the weekly airport transfers.
You can only imagine how much cash was getting skimmed off the top by the individualual scammers before it gets pooled.
This is one hell of an organization when comprised of a population with an average iQ of 68.
Someone has to have the books on this side of the transfer.
ALL of this money being funnelled out by probably a handful of men for years but somehow nobody in the security chain thinks it would be a good idea to get the IRS involved to ask the couriers who they got the money from and then pursuing that.
This fraud is just getting wider and deeper.

Regarding the topic, I wonder if this is relevant? I think it is & it could be particularly damning.
Kare11 dot com, 'New rideshare rates take effect across Minnesota.' A law passed in May now requires that transportation network company drivers earn a minimum of $1.28 per mile and 31 cents per minute. Published 12/2/24.
In part, "MINNEAPOLIS — Rideshare fares will cost you a bit more after a new law setting minimum pay levels for transportation network drivers kicked in on Dec. 1.
The law, passed in May during the 2024 legislative session, pushes minimum pay for drivers who work for Uber, Lyft and similar transportation networks to $1.28 per mile and 31 cents per minute. There is a minimum ride charge of $5. Along with the new minimum rates, the law is designed to provide greater transparency into what customers are charged, increase insurance coverage, and build new partnerships with community organizations to assist and support drivers."

I think most conservatives would agree with you, but I disagree: Recent polls say population is 27% each for R and D, with 44% "independent." Now, 20 to 30% of *Republicans* oppose Trump, while 98% of Dems will vote for any shithead who runs as a D, including Walz, Newsom, Cackles etc.
..This leaves the mass of independents. And I think they still believe the U.S. is raaacist and needs t' take in mo' of doze "po' refugees," who nevah commit no crimes. So my guess is that independents will split 60/40 for the media-reported "compassionate" Democrat and against the mean ol' Orange Hitler.
....I'm *really* worried about the mid-terms. Looks to me as if the Dems are starting to build momentum.

If the US had had a standing army in 1860, there would have been no need to call up 70,000 troops from other Southern States upon SC's declaration of secession, and the Civil War might have never actually formed.
Today, the US does have a standing army, and it can move with speed and in large numbers.
The Insurrection Act would probably get applied with a couple of battalions descending on Minneapolis in a matter of days, a show of immediate and overwhelming force that will terrify IL, NY, MA, and CA.

I totally agree. She had the ability to make a calm least-lethal decision and get out of the car and be arrested for obstruction when the ICE agent told her to get out of the car.
From the phone video of the shooting officer, it's clear that he was not moving to get in front of the car, but simply in the way of the way she turned to resist arrest or at least momentary detainment.
Good took it upon herself to control the situation when she decided to flee like she was Woody Woodpecker.
That is inescapable. She may not have fully seen where he was--but that's irrelevant. She moved her vehicle with disregard for anyone's safety. All to dunk on ICE, perhaps. All as part of their lark to obstruct ICE
Although, I don't think it was effective for accomplishing anything, I'm not going to second-guess the agent or armchair quarterback him. That's not what I mean by the calm unadvocatory, unnormative reflection that he should not have shot her.
Posted by: Axeman at January 15, 2026 12:24 PM (Q4cxx)
Let the DOJ continue their investigations. Let the federal grand juries do their thing (hopefully, in the reddest counties in MN) and keep arresting the thugs. The politicians are the accessories. Let's find the ringleaders and go for them, and if they raise a ruckus, then it will be self-evident to the country that am Insurrection Act proclamation is warranted.

For some of the people, not all. We on the right tend to treat people as a homogeneous blob, all this or all that.
And I see constant references to LIV think this or that without any evidence other that speculation.
Just like how BLM back in the day was an existential threat and Trump's slumping poll numbers meant certain defeat in 2020 when he actually gained well over 10 million new votes between 2016 and 2020 while no one thought puddin brain Biden got 20 million more votes than Killary and that stopping to count in six states on election night while Trump was leading in swing states was normal.

I've been thinking about this a lot - and I believe we called off a military strike in Iran because there was no clear path to regime change that way - just a path to another large middle eastern war that Trump and America don't need right now.
The Iranian Army is still with the Mullah's for now, and that means there can be no regime change without a massive incursion of ground forces. And we're not going to do that, ever. Now that could change, maybe even later this year.

This is why I said in the earlier thread that: warts and all, Trump is the best president of my lifetime.
The other side is trying to suggest that the comatose president they sold us was somehow better than this.
He's still the best president of my lifetime.
Maybe if he ran the exit from Afghanistan it would have turned out to be as much of a Charlie-foxtrot as it was under Biden. Maybe, but there is no control timeline.
We've been here before when Bush Sr. told the Kurds to resist and abandoned them.
Trump is weighing whether or not to spend American lives. All the good intentions in the world didn't turn the Iraq situation to a real win.

I believe this is imperative. He needs to formally address the nation, and show all evidence he has, including video of these riots, to the American people. The Democrats want Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. They want to be able to pillory him for its use and sell the people the story about his "dictatorship, just like the Nazis." His destruction of "our democracy." They're gonna do it if he moves in. He needs to get in front of it...with receipts and proof...on what's actually happening there.

They are probably rentals. I don't think ICE has a fleet of vehicles that they drive to every state. Maybe their current operations warrant that, but their standard operations really don't.
However, perhaps the government could contract for some universal arm that can fit a range of cars that can use the electronic system in the car for a portable system like cops have.

The fact that Trump is dragging his feet on Iran and Insurrection Act may be because both have large downsides for what may be a temporary problem.
On Iran, you just don't strike willy nilly for a regime decapitation strike big enough to eliminate most of the mullah's support troops. Something this big requires prep similar to the Gulf Wars targeting Saddam. Very different than a snatch and grab or a bombing known Iranian nuclear assets.
On Minnesota, the same thing, what happens with the clown show moves to another blue city or state like California, do you then declare Insurrection Act there, etc. Lots of legal issues and risks for going off half cocked. All the while that Scotus and the courts will delay, deny, and do other obstructive shit so that any action Trump takes is delegitimized to some extent.
So, do we jump at the provocation? Do we continue the same plan, surge, etc.? We face the same problem as American Troops in Iraq.

He has internal polling that is much more accurate.
MN is hard core politics and the Donald will be much more successful when National sentiment is fully on his side. The MSM is not presenting this as it is but as a narrative against FedGov.
That needs to change first. Then he can do what should be done with national support not angst.

Trump backs down on Iran. Maybe there is a plan but the optics are terrible. You promise to help and then...nothing."
Nothing last night when many were expecting ... something. Others said tonight ... not sure how long it takes to get proper assets lined up. Trump said he had it on good authority that Iran had stopped massacring the innocents ... and if not he would be very mad.
well, maybe he does Minnesota and Iran in rapid succession, we can only hope.

Beyond a reasonable doubt is the standard if you want convictions. So you have to show that the supplier of funds knew they were going toward illegal activities. That requires flipping the footsoldiers to narc on the higher ups to then narc on those to the kingpins.

I've seen another path to collapsing the regime becoming apparent now, it's not as fast but has better odds of low risk success. The Iranian rial is not simply collapsing; on the international black market today it's trading at 1.5 million to the dollar, and still falling. And reportedly regime figures are transferring all of the hard cash (meaning foreign currency) out of the country to their own personal stashes. When the military stops being paid, which could happen soon, the regime will be poised to fall with minimal effort. This started when Iran's largest bank failed recently; all of the other banking firms in Iran appear ready to fail as well. They simply have no money other than what the Mullah's are printing, and that has become worthless.
Sadly, this means a longer period of suffering for the Iranian people.

But I want Trump to take each step slowly all the same.
He should win--that's not a prediction, that's an assessment. If he uses everything at his disposal--according to that one judge, even the army, he very likely will win.
But this is an appearance issue as well. It won't "look like America". But the same can be said for armed insurrection.
Tides Foundation cannon fodder seems to be pushing it that way, though.
So yes, I will accept a miliary takeover of Minnesota, and the installation of a interim governor.

I've been thinking about this a lot - and I believe we called off a military strike in Iran because there was no clear path to regime change that way - just a path to another large middle eastern war that Trump and America don't need right now.
The Iranian Army is still with the Mullah's for now, and that means there can be no regime change without a massive incursion of ground forces. And we're not going to do that, ever. Now that could change, maybe even later this year.

Stephen Miller, a top White House official, said Tuesday evening that federal law enforcement now has the resources to protect its officers and begin the work of “identifying, disrupting and dismantling the insurgent networks” hampering Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a large-scale deployment of federal agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul in early January 2026, deploying approximately 2,000 federal agents from ICE, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) under an operation dubbed “Operation Metro Surge.”

If indeed it's true that this is mainly a small grundle of localized shiteaters, then Trump is wise to be cautious. There seems to be a concerted effort by people on our side to goad Trump into doing something which which there might be no turning back.
I personally would like ICE to handle this themselves, if for no other reason than to show they ain't to be fucked with.

"Direct action" leads to violent ICE response which leads to lawsuits and Democrat outrage which leads to high Democrat voter turnout.
It has always worked in the past.
Trump needs to end this now. He needs to show the left that this tactic is no longer viable.

A) the filibuster in the Senate acts as a rachet
B), the left has enforced unity as they are very effective about eliminating their internal opposition, the Right lacks the majority in Congress to do the same. Which is why Murcow is still around from a Red State.
C) Trump is reluctant to go Caesar because that is what it would take along with a civil war to destroy the left in this country for a generation. He prefers precision strikes and using financial control to bankrupt his enemies.
So we shall see.

Money itself is not enough. You have to show intent of the big foundations in funding illegal actions. That means a tedious rounding up of footsoldiers and getting them to roll over on the layer above them, then repeat until you get the kingpins. That is the limit of the legal process, it takes time, a lot of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, and DoJ footsoldier attorneys willing to go YOLO on their careers to do this.
You can go extra legal via Insurrection, etc. but that has its own massive downsides as in possibly provoking ACW II.

Its winter (rather than the Summer of Saint George), and winter in Minnesota is cold as hell. That alone will do a lot to keep the crowds down.

That "DOJ footsoldier attorneys willing to YOLO their careers" is a huge thing.

Stop all federal funding to Minnesota till they clean up the waste, fraud and abuse, and repeal sanctuary cities rules. Make THEM do it. No need for fighting and rioting - they either sacrifice the criminal aliens or sacrifice everything else.
Minnesota and a lot of blue hellholes are literally insolvent without fed money. And they know it.
People in Minnesota are still required to file federal taxes. The state can't impound that money - if they try, then the state officials get arrested.
It's that easy - no need to occupy the streets, just impound all their federal funding, every dime of it. They have a billion-dollar budget deficit - this will blow that deficit through the roof.
State goes bankrupt, put them in receivership, and impose a federal manager to manage the bail out, and HE imposes the same rules you asked for - no more fraud, no more sanctuary cities. Any bail out is contingent on that.

Only to be shot down in flames by Idaho's Solicitor General Alan Hurst who informs Sotomayor that IN FACT it is REPORTERS who ADDED in BRACKETS the word [trans] in their REPORTING of the legislative history--the legislative history in fact NEVER DOES SO.

Our losses there would have been halved if the troops weren't prohibited from shooting the little fuckers until one of ours got seriously injured. The fact that the entire area was deserted except for the one head 50 yards away peeking above the boulder was insufficient evidence that that SOB had his finger on the go button of an IED and deserved a bullet to the skull. Nope. Wait until he detonates it, THEN you can chase him.

2) Put heavily armed guys in them. Two cars per convoy.
3) Drive around town with the lights on. Go everywhere, into every neighborhood, all at once. Just drive around.
4) Arrest anyone impeding.
Forget illegals - focus on the protesters and rioters. Make them have to be everywhere at once.
Anyone blocks the road with a car - arrest them, have the car towed off at the owners large (expense). Make the whole thing a pointless waste of time for the protestors.

Facts not in evidence. If Trump had lost a lot of votes from 2016 to 2020, it would have been evident.
Trump's vote share probably improved after the BLM crap and not overreacting to it.
You don't gain 12-14 million votes by not pleasing voters in your term. It is the only time that a sitting president received more votes for reelection and still lost in history. Meanwhile, Biden's vote totals and the desperate last minute stop in counting for six states indicates that his 20 million more votes that Killary was purely a factor of ballots, not people.
Your argument says more about your preferences than it does about reality.

The Dems expect the optics of Trump sending armed Regular Army and Federalized MN Natl Guard under the Insurrection Act will win them many moderate and minority votes this November and in 2028. The attack ad scripts are written. All they need is video of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act and of US Army troops busting heads in the streets.

The Morning Rant: This Is What We Voted For!
The United States experienced negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in more than five decades as the Trump administration continues a sweeping crackdown on immigration. In a report released Tuesday by the Brookings Institution, the shift was driven by a combination of stepped-up immigration enforcement, removals of illegal immigrants, voluntary departures, but most significantly a sharp decline in new entries into the country over the past year.
And the President has managed this in spite of a rabid 5th column in his own party that wants to keep the gravy train of never-ending cheap labor running for a little while longer. The real question is: How many people do we need in this country, and what kind of people should they be? That conventional paradigm says that even asking the question is vile and racist, and the asker should be banished to the nether reaches. But our country asked that question for a few hundred years, and we know the answer. In fact we have a wonderful template for immigration...it's called "America Before the 1965 Immigration Act!" But for the foreseeable future a negative migration rate is just the ticket. It will moderate housing costs, it will improve the employment opportunities for Americans, it will decrease our welfare and medical costs, it will decrease crime in America. So what is the downside? That's a serious question! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!

It should be WILDLY poopular for the administration to round up and deport as many swarthy foreigners as they can, but they DO need to be careful not to turn off the straights, who don't want to see lesbians crashing their Honda Passports into other cars.

I'm not aware that here or anywhere else on the conservative side that wants to see lesbian Karens shot, not even the stupid bint that drove her SUV into the ICE officer. But we understand why she was shot and, looking at the law, why the officer shouldn't be prosecuted. If you have some names, go ahead and name them. We can then judge if what they said was genuine, taken out of context or just joking.

Probably because the civilized world has been decreasing at an accelerating rate due to fertility well below replacement. That means primarily the worst parts of the Islamic World and Africa are driving the increase in population. India in 2025 has just dropped to 1.9 this year. Israel at number 61 and 2.75 is the only first world country above 2.0.

Her intention was probably to drive around him, to get another 50 feet down the street and block traffic some more.
She didn't concern herself with how her refusing to following legal police orders combined with suddenly pointing her car at an officer followed by pushing on the gas while her wife shouted at her to drive would be processed in about 2 seconds in the mind of the officer she was pointing her car at.

this is like being proud you reduced traffic into a city because you’re in the process of burning that city down.
People leaving have the means and opportunities to move elsewhere. This is brain drain. they’ll now move to Europe or Australia or something instead
The same people who freak out about the US birth rate will celebrate this. One of the reasons I’m staying is out of spite for my fellow countrymen who want me dead. Fuck them.
People who think immigrants are the reason for all your failings in life. Has your life improved? Trump supporters don’t care if the entire country fails, as long as they think they’re getting something in the short term.

100 years ago an immigrant in the US wouldn't eat if they didn't work (assuming they didn't come wealthy)
Obviously this led to immigrants that...worked.
Offering them welfare, which is more money then they could have dreamed of back home gives them every incentive to not work.
And thing about it - if someone offered you the option to move to America 2 where welfare payouts were a multiple of the current American salary how many Americans would jump at the opportunity...?

You can only see the amounts at the scale of a nation, not local areas because of mobility of people to where jobs and other resources are located.
I do think we probably have reached some sort of stasis with the border secured, record low fertility at 1.62, and massive deportation campaign by Trump.
It will take some time to sift down to the local levels though as illegal migrants move, H1B visas are not renewed due to costs, etc.

This may be controversial here, but i don't think he should have shot her. I don't think it helped him get of the hood of the vehicle or stop it before it hit him. He had the license plate. ICE have "general federal police powers" by statute. They could have arrested her later.

She makes an argument but buries it in so much rhetorical crap that I find some of her posts tedious. She is not a social scientist nor a particularly rigorous thinker. As a result, too much reason by personal anecdote and arm chair analysis using tactics like argument from silence.
RAH, who she quotes from Expanded Universe, actually knew what to look for to estimate population size in his trip to the USSR using imagery and logistics to argue that the USSR had less people than it claimed in the 1960's. We see similar estimations from some now regarding China's population.
Sarah should have simply left it as many countries regard claiming more people as a sign of power so they are slipshod in population estimates and especially do not want to admit a declining one.

This type of analysis is why Massad Ayoob says that people who do fatal shootings often feel the mark of Cain. Endless speculation of what someone should or should not have done regarding about 3 seconds of a person's life facing a deadly and probably unexpected threat.
Had the officer hesitated, there is no evidence that trying to climb on the hood wearing gloves in icy slippery conditions would have been successful. Shoddy argument.
Second, I think the officer was taken by surprise--he was actually documenting the lawbreaking by video and you can see when he drops the camera. He saw a fellow officer being dragged and an oncoming car, he had now one second to 1.5 seconds to react. He chose to shoot to stop.

Because my whole life growing up in a “diverse” city and living in a diverse universe that didn’t exist. It’s always been overweight Hispanic women who cleaned hotel rooms. That’s SOP in any city in America today..

They are trained over and over again to react and each one of them has to make a personal decision--are you prepared to take another's life to save your own or others. That means you are reacting to your training because without that decision already made, in a situation where a second is a very long time (see Tueller Drill), you can delay just briefly enough for someone to kill or seriously injure you.
Justice Holmes got it right when he said in Brown v. US, "Detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife. Therefore, in this Court, at least, it is not a condition of immunity that one in that situation should pause to consider whether a reasonable man might not think it possible to fly with safety or to disable his assailant rather than to kill him."
So this is why anyone carrying firearms needs to make a decision right now and train for it about when and where you would use lethal force to deter an attack. Mas calls this In the Gravest Extreme, what would you do.

Existing‑home sales surged in December to the fastest pace in nearly three years, driven by easing mortgage rates and broad regional gains, despite tight inventory.
Existing‑home sales nationwide rebounded in December, rising 5.1% month-over-month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.35 million units, according to the latest Existing‑Home Sales Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The increase marks the third consecutive monthly gain and the strongest pace in nearly three years, reflecting improving market conditions as mortgage rates eased late in 2025.

Yes. As it always does. In the end, though, instead of folding and looking weak (like Rs do every other time, including first term Trump), he needs to double down and crush these people. It might hurt him a bit in the polls temporarily, but Americans like a winner. And if he convicts even a third of the crazies he arrests for various felonies (and continues deportations at a rapid clip), he'll hurt the Dem voter fraud and money laundering rackets.
He'll definitely lose if he backs down, so he has to go full Trump. Invoke the Insurrection Act, arrest thousands of violent Karens, and see if the Left is willing to go the next step, which might turn the public against them. Or, we crush them and win.

Kennedy didn't hesitate for more than a second before shrugging, rolling his eyes slightly, and replying, "The president."
"The interesting thing about the president," Kennedy continued, "is that he eats really bad food, which is McDonald's and candy and Diet Coke." Nevertheless, RFK admitted, Trump has "the constitution of a deity."

I'm a fan of the YT channel aPauling News, a humorous Canadian site that looks at the current atrocities. The current episode includes the Supreme Court's contemplation of whether girly boys are just as girly as girly girls. He looked at several precedents that do not bode particularly well. For example, 100 years ago the Court decided that tomatoes, biologically clearly fruits, were vegetables in a case in which vegetables were taxed and fruits were not. So biology is not the end all and be all of everything.

Memphis and New Orleans are key examples.
No theatrics because the local governments got browbeaten by state governments to cooperate. Crime is massively down, especially in Memphis.
The problem isn't ICE or its tactics. It's the resistance that's only there because the underlying concern isn't "the wrong tactics" being used but any tactics at all to deport anyone.

What does any of what you typed mean? What are you suggesting ICE should have done differently? She literally drove a car at an armed Federal Agent. How was this going to end any differently than it did? Hell, the only thing I quibble about in retrospect is why EVERY SINGLE BYSTANDER wasn't arrested as accessories and/or material witnesses. They had ZERO right to be doing what they were doing at the moment that dingbat lesbian committed suicide by cop.

Plus, expansionist socialist hell-holes need cannon fodder. In modern, post-Napoleonic times, socialist ground warfare is notoriously hard on the population, because they use revolutionary zeal as a substitute for training and tactical skill. The Nazis were probably the best socialist country at tactics, but frankly that had a lot more to do with their continued use of the Prussian model within the regular army. They would almost certainly have gone to the SS model of socialist zeal if the regime had survived.

Logistics and coulda shoulda woulda are not particularly helpful here. One of the issues is that the arrest orders are for specific addresses across a large metro area. Too big for force concentration like you suggest.
So like American troops in Iraq in such missions, you always will run the risk of enemy massing to take out a specific detachment. Which is why you can have a flying reserve but that means minutes when seconds count.
Insurrection Act invocation helps in this matter because you don't allow the left to concentrate and mass by using checkpoints, etc. to keep them away from areas of concern. Not perfect, but takes away the flying monkey reserves from being able to concentrate on specific detachments.

I have offered this solution before. Big forklifts, like they use in auto scrapyards. They can move pretty fast. Pick up the car, Karen-dyke and all, and drop it into the box of a dump truck.

Yesterday or day before a clip was posted here of an altercation between two cops and three cars.
The middle car driver pushed off one cop and tried to crush the other cop between it and another car.
That driver should have been neutralized. They finally dragged the driver out of the car.
Oh, isn't that wonderful, a non-lethal resolution?
No. the driver tried to kill two cops. It was a poor resolution. No penalty for attempted murder by vehicle.

Also know as Tavern Scene.
The picture, which draws from the merry company tradition of painting, shows the beginning of Tom Rakewell's way down. It depicts a riotous scene on the combined brothel and the restaurant Rose Tavern at Drury Lane in Covent Garden at three o'clock in the morning
The protagonist Tom, drunk with his sword at his side and surrounded by prostitutes, is sprawling in a chair, with one foot on a table. Beside him is a rod and lantern, which he stole during his nocturnal wanderings in the streets.Two of the women are stealing Tom's watch. In the doorway a female street singer makes an appearance
A Rake's Progress, Plate 3, The Tavern Scene, engraving with etching, 1735
On one of the walls, hangs a world map and framed prints of among others the Roman emperors Augustus, Titus, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian.

Love Starlink. Especially when it comes to HughesNet, Viasat or smoke signals.
It goes down less than Direct TV when a storm passes over. It has to be a deluge before it loses signal. And as soon as the cell passes, it's back up. VOIP for phone service. (Yeah. AT&T lies about their coverage)

They had no TV, no radio, books were non-existent or expensive.
Even the peasant has a lot of free time, in that.
Another thing I find interesting:
A study of a stable hunter-gatherer* societies showed each adult spends an average of 8 hours a week--a week--on obtaining food.
The rest is basically free time. A lotta lot of free time.
Look upon that and weep ye cubicle dweller, as you log your 40th hour of the week in order to buy a scrap of bread.
* and they don't just gather, they cultivate native plants to encourage continued production.

So that's crazy. I never thought about it. All cultures around the world have alcohol. Beer, wine, spirits.
All of them in thousands of varieties.
From those that had brewer yeast to the Japs chewing and spitting rice to get it to ferment into sake.
All but one: The American Indian.
Question: Can you consider a society/culture a civilization if it hasn't a form of alcohol?

Imagine if we had a, oh I don't know, a body of representatives who meet in, let's say a central location where government operates. Now imagine if those representatives took an oath to defend the very documents that give them their authority, and to execute said oath to see to it the laws were upheld.
If we had such a group of representatives, they might recognize with a lesser group of representatives were operating in violation of the laws, and would act to impose the penalties designated in the law. Then you'd have such people as "governors" and "mayors" of entities in open rebellion brought to court to face justice.
But instead we have a group of dickless wonders, operation in DC, calling themselves Congress.

Yahoo Finance: “The U.S. unemployment rate is worsening, with 2025 posting the weakest annual job growth rate since 2003.While the Federal Reserve cut interest rates repeatedly in 2025 to try to support the market, these efforts weren’t quite enough to course-correct the American unemployment rate. Many factors are to blame here.”
Unemployment is at 4.4%. Which is pretty much full employment. Enemy of the people.

Looks like the panel used some procedural grounds for this decision. This is gonna keep getting appealed until someone gives up. And the White House is more likely to give up sooner.
Decisions like these are why ICE move people around so much, so when you appeal with Habeas when you’ve clearly been unconstitutionally detained the appeals courts will say you went to the wrong court and thus have to start over in another district.
Where is he from? If it’s safe for him, I would honestly consider just leaving the US and bringing his family with him, rather than risk being locked up. This admin wants to make an example out of him and I really worry they’ll succeed :/
A 2-1 ruling with a Trump appointee and a W appointee in favor of this decision. We're going to be stuck with these activist judges for a long time. Their plan is to thwart democracy. What the fuck is our plan? Note: This does not mean that the federal government can suddenly re-detain Khalil. This decision isn't a warrant.

Yep. Doesn't have to go through en banc though that is probably a better shot than Scotus.
But en banc review and reversal is pretty rare in a case due to logistics and time consumed to do it.
Khalil would have to have a new important law question normally to get it and claiming a first amendment right to protest so he does not get deported on immigration fraud and leading violent protests is not particularly a compelling one other than Resist! judges.

But en banc review and reversal is pretty rare in a case due to logistics and time consumed to do it.
Khalil would have to have a new important law question normally to get it and claiming a first amendment right to protest so he does not get deported on immigration fraud and leading violent protests is not particularly a compelling one other than Resist! judges.

1) limits the frivolous filings of habeas.
2) flat denial that visa-holders have a 1st Amendment right; they do not.
3) that district judges do not get to second-guess the national security determination of the Secretary of State and the Executive. No matter how much they fluff their opinion up with Constitutional claims and violations of various statutes.
Because that's what will happen.

Court under Roberts is reactive rather than proactive. That is why the lower court judges feel free to YOLO. And that is the problem with selecting judicial restraint types that the traditional conservatives have pushed for decades since Bork got Borked. Only 3 out of the 6 justices (Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch) are willing to create clear new precedents while Kavanaugh, ACB, and Roberts are the judicial restraint types--focusing on narrow decisions, balancing tests, and other be nice to the opposition style rulings. And the leftist judges take any caveat to go YOLO.
What is needed is simply summary reversals of these judges, no opinion, just grant cert, reverse, and apply as needed.

Roughly 80% of people picked up by DHS sign waivers and willingly get deported without any further process.
600,000 in the first 11 months of Trump's second term.
These individual cases matter to the individuals and narrative boosters, but they don't actually matter in terms of policy since they always lose. They make a while to lose, but they do end up losing all while literally hundreds of thousands more get forcibly deported while the processes play out.

------
3rd circuit is roughly split last time I checked. Either way, I think Khalil gets deported because the panel noted that Khalil's lawyers were required to file an appeal directly with the appellate court from immigration law, district courts do not have jurisdiction by law even under habeas.
So Khalil is asking for extraordinary relief based on being a protester being selectively punished by deportation. That sort of 1st Amendment claim under the liberty clause means Khalil has to prove that he was deported mainly because of his views as punishment, not his past actions in lying on immigration forms, or leading violent protests at Columbia to take over campus buildings.
The problem with Khalil's application is that a) was not entitled to habeas relief so the trial judge's opinion of facts is thrown out, b) he brought himself to the attention of authorities not via speech but the violent takeover of Columbia's campus. Not protected speech nor is his lying on immigration documents. So it is as reasonable gov't punished him for criminal actions not speech.

Actually the first impeachments were of Senator Blount of TN which leaves murky whether members of Congress can be impeached because he resigned before it happened. Second impeachment of cabinet official was Grant's Sec. of War, again he resigned before being impeached.
But the history of impeachment clearly shows that it was intended for any executive official (see how it was used by the Brits from which we derived our take on it).

The Morning Report — 1/15/26
An illegal Venezuelan migrant was shot in the leg by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis after he allegedly fled during a traffic stop and beat the “ambushed” officer with a snow shovel Wednesday evening, the Department of Homeland Security said.Wait, The President is "baiting the protesters?" More accurately, they are not protesters but terrorists interfering with law enforcement doing its duty to protect the citizenry and arrest criminals, illegal aliens and criminal illegal aliens. The unmitigated chutzpocritical gall of Frey is off the charts as it is he and his ilk that have labeled the President as literally Hitler and ICE as the equivalent of the Gestapo.
The suspect was behind the wheel when he tried to get away from federal immigration officers at around 6:50 p.m. local time, but he crashed into a parked car, according to DHS.
The migrant then tried to escape on foot and “violently assault[ed] the officer” as the two wrestled on the ground, according to an X post from the agency. While the man continued to struggle with the officer, two other people emerged from a nearby apartment and allegedly mercilessly attacked the agent with a snow shovel and broom handle, the department said. In the chaos, the Venezuelan migrant was able to wriggle out of the officer’s hold and also allegedly started striking him “with a shovel or broom stick,” according to the post. The officer, “fearing for his life,” shot the Venezuelan man in the leg, DHS said.
The wounded migrant and the two alleged attackers then fled into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside, according to the agency. Federal agents were eventually able to get inside and apprehended all three individuals.
The officer and the injured suspect were both taken to a nearby hospital, and the two attackers were taken into custody, DHS said. . . KARE reported that federal agents swarmed around North Lyndale Avenue and 25th Avenue, which is near a 21-acre park, just before 8 p.m. local time.
A photographer with the outlet observed at least one ambulance leaving the area.
Angry protesters later swarmed the shooting scene and began hurling fireworks at police officers, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at a late-night press briefing. Cops tossed tear gas canisters at the protesters in response.
“The crowd is engaging in unlawful acts,” O’Hara said.
“I urge anyone who is at the scene to leave immediately. This is already a very tense situation and we do not need this to escalate any further,” the chief added.
Mayor Jacob Frey also slammed the destructive protesters — claiming they were taking President Trump’s “bait.” . . . The shooting comes just one week after Renee Nicole Good, 37, was gunned down by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross after she allegedly tried to “weaponize” her vehicle against federal agents at a protest near her Minneapolis home.
Anyone who uses their car, a snow shovel, a molotov cocktail and even firearms against law enforcement deserves to be dealt with and should be met with lethal force. If we're going to target tyranny, instead of IRGC barracks and command and control installations, maybe the President should be targeting the DNC, the Soros HQ, Ford Foundation and so on and so on.
If you want to know why Charlie Kirk is dead and why ICE agents are under assault, I give you this radioactive subhuman cancerous fistula of a soulless zombie:
Wednesday on MS NOW’s “Deadline,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said chances were “high” that America could lose its democracy between now and next November. Murphy said, “I think that the president’s first just trying to make people stay home, trying to make ordinary citizens fear going out on the streets. But that doesn’t seem to be working, given the number of people that are turning out in these special elections, the number of people that are turning out for protests. So now, possibly he takes a look at the elections itself. Maybe he does try to take voting machines in a state where his candidate lost a close election. Maybe he goes in ahead of time and tries to use the military in order to take control of polling places. We’re going to have to, you know, have an army of lawyers unfortunately ready to be able to make sure that the Constitution is protected headed into this next election. We’ll be ready. The Supreme Court is probably going to have a role to play here. By and large, they have sided with this totalitarian takeover, but there will probably be a seminal case before the court between now and November where they’ll be asked, Can Trump federalize these elections, or can he not? That will be maybe one of the most dispositive moments as we try to make sure that he doesn’t, transparently rig the elections.” He added, “I do believe that this is the most serious threat to democracy since the Civil War. I think that we are at a 5050 moment right now. I think the chances are high that we could lose our democracy between now and next November. And so I want there to be a level of urgency out in America. I’m sometimes frustrated about the lack of urgency that some of my colleagues show, internally, about this moment. But I am actually optimistic because I have seen the American people refuse to be bullied into silence.”I pray every night and day that Chris Murphy's "DEMOCRACY" has a kryptonite stake driven into its black heart of darkness and goes straight to hell for all time. I want my constitutional Republic as founded restored! Projection ain't just a river in Egypt. You know the rigging is going to be massive next November and instead of ramming ICE agents, Sleeper cells of Renee Goods, shovel-wielding illegal aliens, Somalians and others are already being trained in how to interfere at polling stations or ballot counting/sorting locations as we saw in Wayne County Michigan on Election Night in 2020. Meh, you don't have to be Kreskin to have that brainwave.
Any police officer or legitimate GOP poll watcher will become a target of Democrat-Party approved/planned/Fomented terrorism. I said it here first. I wasn't going to quote Murphy, the filthy scumbag, but evil must be stared in the face and confronted head on if we are to defeat it. And if the midterms do go our way, Even if we squeak out a win in just one race for dogcatcher somewhere, the Democrat terrorism will be off the charts. Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

May, 2016. CNN does a segment entitled "A Day with ICE in a so-called Sanctuary City."
CNN literally rode around with ICE from the break of dawn until nighttime, watching while ICE conducted raids and arrested illegals. ICE arrested some right at their jobs.
CNN was not criticizing ICE. They were celebrating ICE. It was "exclusive access" during the Obama years and CNN considered it a privilege to get to watch ICE work.
ICE even made a "mistake" arrest. CNN had no problem with it.
Six months later Trump won the election and ICE was then labeled the gestapo.

2016. Obama's Press Secretary is asked about reports that during immigration raids, ICE agents were storming into homes, going room to room looking for illegals, and making children tremble with fear.
I thought only fascist Presidents do that sort of thing.
Why was the press so civil? Why weren't they crying or at least calling Obama a nazi?
How come nobody was shaving their head in protest? Surely there were a bunch of angry white liberal wine moms outside the building screaming at the top of their lungs, right?
Always keep in mind how fake and performative the outrage is.

The “Republican” majority backstabbed their voters for the second time tonight.
81 Republicans voted with Democrats to keep funding the National Endowment for Democracy, a left-wing, NGO slush-fund that worked with the Biden administration to censor Americans on the Right.
Elon’s DOGE efforts specifically targeted this organization for defunding and some of the same Republicans who cheered it on for the cameras voted with Democrats to stop it.

And the cartel judges are happy to assist in amplifying it.
But. It is a lie. ICE does not need a warrant.
Supreme Court precedent is clear:
A reasonable suspicion the subject is illegal is sufficient to stop, temporarily detain and inspect your documents--including even if you claim you are a citizen.
Yes, that standard is lower than the requirements to stop you for suspicion of a crime.
But none of this would be necessary if blue locales would honor ICE detainers.
And that is what is causing all this-- the insurrection of the left.
PS: yes, being here illegally is a crime. You can only be detained for crimes, not "civil penalties"

536 AD is Considered the Worst Year
Across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, a mysterious atmospheric dust veil caused:
18 months of near-total darkness, with the sun described as dim “like the moon” even at midday
Global temperature drops of 1.5–2.5°C, contributing to the coldest decade in 2,300 years
Crop failures, famine, and widespread social disruption
Scientific research now attributes this to a massive volcanic eruption, likely in Iceland, which blasted ash across the Northern Hemisphere. Two additional eruptions followed in 540 and 547, worsening the long-term effects.

I think we're already in one. A shooting one. Not some sort of "cold" civil war with political gamesmanship as the only "fighting." The left acknowledged this when they started to use physical violence against us. We, to a fairly large degree, still haven't acknowledged it.
That perspective is changing, and the media is hell bent on making us the "bad guys." Because we dared to fight back... on the left's terms. With violence.
And there can be none of that.

I think it is inevitable at this point. The Left are straight up demonic. Even God doesn't bother to reform demons; He lets them play their course, for His ultimate purpose, then casts them for eternity in Outer Darkness.
Romans 13 says the Government bears the sword against evil. Two things: The government is evil, there isn't enough Salt & Light to quell the general population's growing frustration.
Broadly speaking, one party is evil, the other party winks at it or is involved in the evil. (eg: Funding NED as a bipartisan effort)
Right now, you deliberately have to go on the X to play in the War. When X moves to your home, its Game On because the GOP refuses to incarcerate any evil doer.

“Nutriloaf” or prison loaf. Sometimes used as a disciplinary measure. It’s a type of loaf that meets nutritional guidelines but isn’t widely liked.
Like most things, Americans don’t know good they have it. In some countries, they do not believe there is any obligation to provide meals, merely due to your being incarcerated in prison. Better have family on the outside, or plenty of money.

Now, mind you, almost all of the facts for the story are relayed by the "aunt." No quotes from the alleged victim.
Paragraph after paragraph about how they just shot him a close range (for no reason).
Then, how the docs found a piece of metal too close to the nerve and refused to remove it.
(only implying it was from a pepper ball, distinctly did not say it was)

"What President Donald Trump did last night:
He pushed the regime's system to the brink of the cliff, the regime entered the defensive state they had planned for since the June events (hidden locations for senior officials, changes to secret emergency frequencies, and so on).
And since they, like the rest of the world, were certain an attack was underway, they fully exposed all their new emergency protocols that they had drilled on and so forth, at every level.
Now that it's clear to them this was just a (ruse), they no longer have time to implement alternative protocols.
While the regime thought the real moment had arrived, the Americans and their partners closely observed how the regime would react and what its new emergency protocols are; and this time it will be different from previous operations.
And now the Americans are ready.⏳"

Actually, the "avoiding law enforcement" is the easy part since mobile units transmit constant location data for their tactical centers and dispatch. Same way that delivery services track their drivers now.
The problem with Real Time is the cost of the data and the fact that it is anonymized without court warrant. How we solved that problem in the past was to establish patterns of life and then by using a known location (i.e. their office or home) the anonymized data can be associated to an actual contact.
ALPRs are a positive ID form that doesn't require warrant and is easier to present in court without having to answer a lot of inconvenient questions.

So, I went and read up on the raid on Harper's Ferry.
10 of Brown's men killed. 7 captured after and executed. 5 escaped.
But this was interesting: The papers at the time didn't call it a "raid."
They used: insurrection, treason, rebellion and crusade.
Also, the militia mustered up to help decided they'd rather take a holiday and got "roaring drunk." LOL
But Brown was no punk on a lark, he was very well funded and had long-planned his attack.
And Antifa has their own division, inspired by and using his name.

I’ve been one of his biggest supporters, and would love to see the Iranian Regime fail. But I never could figure out a path to do that with airstrikes alone, and now it looks as though US forces are standing down and the threats we made were just a bluff that’s been called.
Politically it’s the necessary decision; we can’t get involved in another long war in the Middle East. But it’s very sad to abandon all those protesters to their fate.

That is stupid and disgusting, and proof of why Matt Goetz should be permanently forgotten. I saw this claim a couple days ago, looked up the source and turns out the only source pushing it is a minor propaganda site in Turkey under Erdogan’s control.
Everyone in Argentina said it was an ordinary forest fire which often happens in their summer months.

According to the congressional committee report which was delayed, but still came out, it’s not just alleged. Matt Goetz paid for sex with a 17 year old Florida girl and bragged about it to many, but he can’t be charged because she had an official Florida ID that said she was 18 at the time. (Giving Gaetz plausible deniability)
We know this because she admitted it in the trial of the Florida official who gave her that I.D., and who was pimping several 16 and 17 year old girls out of his office. He was convicted and is now in prison.
He was also a good friend of Matt Goetz.

Okay @DataRepublican, and I did some general numbers on the SomaliFraud cash going through Minneapolis airport.
According to reports, over 2 years, they moved roughly $700MM through the airport.
That means (if they used $100 bills) they moved 7.7 metric tons of cash, and keep in mind, this is just what was flagged over the past 2 years.
Couple notes on that number:
That would essentially mean that the Somalis were taking a $1 million dollar duffle bag through the airport — EVERY SINGLE DAY — for two years.
Further, we can assume that this is only the money that was flagged. If the Somalis were just wandering through without declaring every cash bag, we could be talking 10x the amount.
The question then became: WHY Minneapolis?
Well, after some quick discussing with regular travelers of the MN airports.
The Somalis run the airport. They’re the ground crews. They’re the airport staff. They’re friggin TSA.
We have an airport in the United States of America run by pirates. That’s kind of a problem. More on where we think the money is going later…

Top Story
- A sad story with a happy ending.
Riot games just acquired Hytale developer Hypixel Studios. (April 2020) (WCCFTech)
Hytale is officially dead and its studio disbanded. (June 2025)
Hytale, the long-awaited Minecraft-like MMO, is resurrected and will launch in early access soon. (November 2025)
Hytale is saved says Hypixel founder as the studio's dev costs for the next two years have already been covered by pre-orders. (January 2026)
If you're interested in that kind of game - similar to Minecraft but with RPG elements and modding support built in - it's available in early access right now on the company's website.
For $20. (Engadget)
Because, to quote the founder of Hypixel Sudios, "The game is unfinished and runs on a build from over four years ago. Charging more didn't feel right. I don't think the game is good yet."
Honestly it seems to run pretty well, though I haven't spent much time in it. And I was running on a laptop with integrated graphics, so far from high-end hardware.

- Cerebras has scored a $10 billion deal with OpenAI. (CNBC) (archive site)

- SK Hynix is investing $13 billion on a new factory... (Tom's Hardware)
... To assemble HBM chips for AI servers. Not for you.
- Now that the memory drought has dried up supply of DDR5 and the older DDR4 modules alike, DDR3 is next to go. (WCCFTech)
I have 96GB of DDR3 - at least - sitting in older computers. Much older. Built between 2011 and 2015.
- AI is a 400-year confidence trick. (Tom Renner)
I don't think you could generate music videos on a 17th century mechanical calculator, though.
- The Minisforum MS-S1 Max is the best Ryzen AI Max mini PC yet. (Serve the Home)
It certainly has the best complement of I/O: Dual 40GBps USB4 ports, dual 80GBps USB4 ports, dual 10Gb Ethernet, one HDMI, five regular USB ports, and three M.2 slots, and a PCIe slot (though just half height, single slot).
And it's 15% faster than the Framework Desktop apparently thanks to better cooling, because the two systems use the exact same CPU.
- Digg is back. (Tech Crunch)
Reddit ate Digg's lunch years ago after a the latter pushed out an extremely unpopular UI update. Now the founder has bought back the company and is trying again, It's a clean design and runs quickly, at least. And Reddit is a toxic swamp these days.

Yeah, from what I've seen of the Framework Desktop it only has a large, finned, heatsink above the CPU and a regular 120mm fan on top of that.
MinisForum is using two blower-style laptop fans, a large heatsink with fins, and several heat pipes, along with a fan for the PSU, so it's definitely got the edge there.

100x Defect Tolerance: How Cerebras Solved the Yield Problem
To summarize, Cerebras resolved the wafer scale manufacturing challenge by designing a small fault-tolerant core in combination with a fault tolerant on-chip fabric. While total chip area increased by ~50x compared to conventional GPUs, we reduced individual core size by ~100x. As a result, defects are far less damaging to the WSE than conventional multi-core processors. The third generation WSE engine achieves 93% silicon utilization – the highest among leading AI accelerators – demonstrating that wafer-scale computing is not just possible, but commercially viable at scale.
https://tinyurl.com/2buyy5p4

Those chips probably cost around $16,000 per wafer from TSMC's 5nm process.

You can probably replace that card in the laptop, and people who do usually go with the latest Intel 'Killer' series Wifi for better reception and performance.

Good article. I think I'll bookmark this for reference and potentially sending to anyone in my circle of friends who seems a little too "all in" on AI, though I doubt I'm going to need to haul this out. I've been pessimistic on AI for a while telling people that there is no "I" in "AI".
I like to mention instances where lawyers that relied on LLMs to generate case briefs. They then submitted those briefs to the court hearing the case they were working on. The problem? The briefs cite other cases that never happened. Judges who would look up those citations realized that the brief was full of bullshit.
Judges really don't like being bullshitted by lawyers. Threats of disbarment were made, lawyers were made to promise to either NOT use LLMs, or if they did, to carefully check everything that was spit out by an LLM before submitting a brief to the court, or face the court's wrath.
Personally, I think a few of those judges should have gone with the nuclear option right away rather than letting these weasels off the hook with only a stern warning.
If I can get people to question whether "AI" is really "all that", I've done my part.

We really don't know what's going on in the war, but from what I can observe, Putin's got everything he wants and doesn't see the need to change course.

One step backward, and then two more steps backward.
Now Nvidia has basically cancelled its entire midrange lineup and made its high-end cards unaffordable, all that is left is for AMD to drop the ball somehow and for Intel cards to spontaneously sublimate from store shelves.
This was what was behind those stories out of Germany and Japan about retailers having orders for Nvidia cards abruptly cancelled.

Movies!, which was out of commission for a lot of yesterday (there was a signal, but no image or sound), is back today with The House of 92nd Street, a 1945 documentary-style spy story with an FBI agent going undercover in a German spy ring in 1940-41. Leo G. Carroll, my revered "Mr. Waverly," also plays a spymaster in this one -- but on the German side.
The film has a mystery too, the identity of a highly-placed agent called "Christopher." I'm curious to see if they have a thunderbolt surprise tucked away in this.

So I went back to the list of supported phones and found that ALL A15s are not supported. There are some variations in the model numbers, like A15-156 and A-15-156U. Well, the program would not work on the A15-156 but would work on the 156U, so we swapped Mrs fd A15 for the new A15 and the damn program worked.
As best as I can tell, there is no difference between the models. Same CPU, RAM, and android version. F'n absurd.

The “Republican” majority backstabbed their voters for the second time tonight.
81 Republicans voted with Democrats to keep funding the National Endowment for Democracy, a left-wing, NGO slush-fund that worked with the Biden administration to censor Americans on the Right.
Elon’s DOGE efforts specifically targeted this organization for defunding and some of the same Republicans who cheered it on for the cameras voted with Democrats to stop it.

LLMs are not AI, and they never will be. That is not to say that they don't have their place automating mundane, non-thinking tasks on well-defined data sets and those new instances that fit well within the model and training data, or nearly so such that inferences thereby are reasonably trustworth.
The problem is that there is no reality model or error identification model that can warn of potential risks of trusting the outputs of current LLMs.
So you get people falling into the trap of trying to produce real knowledge/intelligence work like legal briefs using LLMs creating fantasy cites, and the net result is that, instead of AI doing the mundane, non-thinking tasks, it made a knowledge/intelligence work project into a grudging series of mundane, non-thinking tasks such as cite checks and error checking.

A few years back, I was residing temporarily in Tyler, TX. When I registered my truck, I asked the lady what "kind" of Californians were moving in. She said the majority seemed to be conservative, leaving CA for that reason.
I think around Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, the answer may be otherwise.

Apparently another shooting in the land of mutant militant lesbos again. Unconfirmed. So says the NY Post.
They are going to keep doing this. Altho I belive President Trump is a great multi-tasker, he has other fish to fry in Iran currently. This is on the back whiffle ball burner. Soon, Walzie. Soon.
I have to wonder how many illegals ICE captures and then has to beat off ugly pierced lesbians. If they are clinging to their precious Somolians I just say take them, too. Send them all to Somolia. The lesbos can get to know them better and no one will miss either.

Well, that was fun. Just got back from the ER. Posting thread before last, after my last post about Iran, I noticed I was feeling sort of jumpy, like an adrenaline rush. Noticed my heart seemed to be beating fast. Put the pulse oximeter on. Heart rate 150ish.
So, off to the ER Miley and I went. On the way over, heart rate dropped to the 120ish level. Was 110 when I got in there. BP was 160/95. Lots of blood work. EKG normal, heart rate had calmed down to 90.
Everything looked normal. Did notice a couple of skipped beat sensations during all that. Doc referred me to cardiologist, thinks "something is going on".

This happened about anh hour ago. What the New York times left out of the headline is the immigrant is an illegal alien from Venezuela. He was being arrested for being in the country illegally and while beging arrested began to violently assault the arresting ice officer. Shortly after this, two other perps joined in and began beating the ice officer with a snow shovel and a club. The officer at this point defended himself and with his firearm and ended up shooting the illegal alien in the leg. The officer and the illegal are in the hospital and the other two perps are arrested.

I thought it might be a reaction to the TNF blocker infusion I get for the RA. I had shingles back in Nov, and so skipped the infusion, and it's thus been 4 months since the last one. Rheumatologist retired this year, and I had to get in with a new practice, and they finally got set up to do the infusion today, which I did around 4PM.
So, I wondered if maybe it was some crazy start after stopping for a while reaction. That stuff does have some association with heart problems, but I'd been taking it for years with no problems. RA itself long term does have heart effects.
So, there you go. Doc didn't think it was a reaction, just maybe coincidental. Anyway, they'll likely put me on some sort of monitor for a while and see if they see anything funny going on.

Greenland: yes
Cuba: yes
Government shutdown: no. This is a House election year, and I think they know the voters are sick of that bullshit
More than six Starships? Yes
SpaceX IPO? Not a chance. Musk isn’t gonna give up that much control, and it’s not like he needs the money.
Russia/Ukraine? Don’t know, don’t care. Wildcard outcome: Poland bites off a good-sized chunk of Ukraine itself, possibly due to reviving the Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth. Ideally this will involve Winged Hussars.
Fed Chair: I think there’s a good chance that the Fed as we know it is gone by the end of the year.
Dem control of House. I don’t think so.
More than 14 magnitude 7.0 quakes? Sure, that’s about an average number, actually (I didn't see anything about doing research... if that wasn't supposed to happen...Oh, well. I cheated on this one)
Supreme Court Justice stepping down? Depends on the results of the midterms. If the Republicans have solid control of the Senate afterward, I could see Thomas retiring. Otherwise, no.
Olympic medals: no clue. Silly wild-assed guess: yes.

Wouldn't be me. I know some things, but not like I know harley. The indian 4 was actually originally designed and built by Ace motorcycles, Indian bought them out and the 4 was an Ace design, but indian kept trying to improve it and fiddled with some things over the years. They stopped making them in the really early 40's. If I remember right indian ended up hiring one of Ace's engineers to help with the tinkering. It was an IOE engine, Intake over exhaust. I don't remember when but they tried to reverse that and build it as an exhaust over intake, and it ended up as a ball burner to anybody who rode it, so it failed and they returned to the original configuration. Kind of why I said it was interesting.

It looks like a legit bike, and it seems to have a lot of details found on the earlier 1930s version, like the fenders and exhaust, so it seems consistent in the details, but like I said, not an expert on indians. You barely even see them anymore. The last one I worked on was years ago.

Heart rate jumping up to the 150s like that for no reason just sitting there is odd. Thinking about it, I've noticed skipped beat sensations when I get an adrenaline surge, like with a startle such as a loud noise or a near miss thing driving, where you get startled and have to slam on brakes. Heart rate accelerates and then the skipped beat.
It seems sort of like a PVC. Thump..thump...thump...thumpThump.....miss...thump...
So, something is likely going on, and it's just starting to show up.

They are desperate, seeking to throw any kind of wrench into the gears, a delaying action, hoping some other events will come along to save them. It's like when someone is fighting five burly cops trying to handcuff them, I'm sure deep inside the perp knows he/she is toast, but they keep resisting anyway.

At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.
In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.
The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.
As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick.
Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.
All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside.
The attacked officer and subject are both in th

My husband says I tell everyone else to go to the doctor but I try as best I can to avoid it myself.
I see a cardiologist in a week for my done fall out, that I don't think was cardiac related (in early November). No other symptoms and I have done this before from dehydration and insomnia. I am a strange bird.
I do have an irregular heartbeat (asymptomatic), need to lose wt and watch my mostly normal hypertension. I am very irritated about the entire thing. The echo showed some crap that we don't think is going to kill me. I am hoping the PA simply tells me to lose wt and puts me on new meds.
Today I promised my husband I would be as brave as I always have been, and quit worrying. I don't worry 24/7, but sometimes I think about crap that I should not and let my fear turn to faith.
Hope your heart is just jumping around and will settle down. I don't feel mine, but did in the past.

First off: this pic is probably from England. Notice the sign by the window? RAC Service Depot? That's Royal Automobile Club. And the Shell pump reads "Shell Motor Spirit". That's Brit usage for sure.
The pickup, which is a Ford, I believe, looks like it might have an Amoco or Phillips logo on the door.
Could be an "old" photo, taken any time from the 1950's to the 1990's, at some well-off Brit's car and petroliana collection. Does not look like an organically "real" picture.

A staged photo could be authentically a photo, and not an AI mashup, or product of darkroom chicanery. But a staged photo is not necessarily an authentic representation of actual events.
Example: a publicity shot from the movie "tombstone" would be a perfectly authentic photo of the actors and set, but not an authentic photo of the Earps and Doc Holliday.

Under 10K new, less used. I'm leaning towards a 300cc or 500cc bike since that can do short sprints on the freeways when there's no other option. The rest of the time will be secondary roads and dirt roads. Dirt roads in New Mexico can be utter sand pits or can be paved with bone jarring rocks. 10 mph is a good top speed on those so lightness and maneuverability is a key aspect. The secondary paved roads you have to be able to do 65 mph. The reality is there's so little traffic in rural New Mexico you could do 40 mph all day long and not be a problem. Basically I'm looking for a souped-up Trail 125 cuz that's how I roll.

My friend is going nuts with home insurance on Staten Island. Ever since Hurricane Sandy in 2012, her rates have gone through the roof, after having to have the roof replaced. She was concerned then about the snow in the attic.

I've seen two theories to explain this, and they probably run together.
The first is they've gotten away with such nonsense for far too long. It's the old story: Somebody breaks the law. Nobody enforces it, so no big deal. You continue breaking the law and someone does enforce it, they are now a fascist.
The other is legal pharmacology, overmedication.

Cryptocurrency needs data centers because their value is continuously being computed, or some such nonsense.

Yep. Insurance is a *bad word* to me. They take and they take, year after year, "Lawd, they was lovey-dovey" until you have a claim.
Then it's a battle. And if you don't get cancelled, you sure as hell pay them back (double or more) in increased premiums afterward. Such a fking racket.

My boss's nickname was "Kim Jong-il" (female Korean American, married to an Antifa goon boy, and had a taste for sadism).
Being retired (three weeks now) is wee-urd. I thought it would be like being on extended vacation until the Lord calls me home -- but I feel adrift. It has also crossed my mind that my moneyman's telling me I have plenty of money to go the rest of the way, "even if you need a nursing home at some point" means that my expiration date is coming in a few years, and that's a sobering thought.
Health, apart from needing to shed the weight I gained after refugeeing south from NYC, is pretty good.
Sleep has been all over the map. Falling asleep in the Lazy Boy recliner, with Youtoob videos on autoplay; waking up at 5 am and pondering whether going back to bed counts as a nap.
I feel like I got off of a Hellship, but as it has gone hull-down over the horizon, and the voices on board are fainter and fainter, I'm adrift in a little sloop on the ocean, with no destination in mind....

Secondary products from the data centers may be as or more beneficial than the actual data. Right now they are set to produce their own energy. Bezos is going for one full size and four modular (can't think of the name) nuclear reactors, Five are on the books in Texas. They are firing up 3 mile island and one in Illinois. Nvidia is going nuclear, so are the rest of them. One of them is doing fission.

Nuclear has backing from Washington along with wizkids brains, money and competitive drive building a safe, cheap and powerful reactors will be the norm. Energy will be cheap. Green Peas can stuffit.

Part time job, volunteer, learn a new skill. Whatever you choose to do, do it with a sense of adventure and no pressure. Create a schedule for yourself even if it seems mundane. The last 10 years of my professional career I was self-employed. Basically all I did was work. I retired early because I realized I was just a boarder in my own house and my wife and 15 year old son were strangers. I took a job as a school custodian. Most enjoyable 6 years of my working life. Don't pressure yourself and don't be in a hurry.

Glad you got out of a bad situation. Can't think of much worse than dreading one's job.
If you live where there is actual winter weather-- enjoy not needing to drag out into the freezing cold mornings to scrape ice & then have to wait for car to defrost before driving through snow/ice while sharing the road with EEJOTS the whole way!
What to do?
--finish that book, whether you're writing it or just reading it
--continue keeping a regular wake/sleep schedule
--daydream. You can act on these later.
Enjoy!!!

Then it's a battle. And if you don't get cancelled, you sure as hell pay them back (double or more) in increased premiums afterward. Such a fking racket.
Posted by: JQ at January 15, 2026 01:02 AM (rdVOm)
I was an all lines insurance claims manager for over 30 years. Casualty insurance companies pay out more in claims than the premium they take in . They make their money by investing the premiums. In my experience , first party claims are handled by giving the policyholder the benefit of the doubt on questionable claims. I’ve always said everyone should sit at an insurance claims desk for six months. Their perception of insurance claims handling would completely change.

I avoid these. I raised children to not act like this and so I go right into "this child needs to learn a lesson" mode. And ignore because they are not my child. But they definitely missed something in their education.
I detest whining. I don't think any of my children whined more than once because I responded with "children who whine get nothing!" And also, "try saying that again in a normal tone of voice"

Dang...all of this makes my wonky stuff hopefully just that. Or, as we know it in our house, "incidental findings." My husband is king of those.
I had my little syncope performance but don't think it's heart or brain related (we all know I lack the latter). I just pass out every 4yrs or so if I rush in the early am, don't hydrate, and don't sleep because I need to get up to rush.
Good thing this was not a problem when I was working and waking and rushing for decades. 4yrs ago the ED doc, after a bunch of tests, told me she had it. That when I feel it coming on to lie down with feet above my heart a bit, and tense all muscles.
I ignored the warnings & passed out instead, and knew better. EMT's said all normal. I said no to another ED visit. PA said I had to have an echo and holter and here I am seeing a cardiology PA in a week. I hope to be left alone for six months. Lose wt and behave for once in my life.

Couple of years ago the boy borrowed my car, ran a red light in front of a cop, about 20 mph over the limit.
He lost his license, and State Farm cancelled our car insurance. So I told them to fuck off with the homeowners as well. They made plenty of money off my for years, and they just decided we were too much of a risk over a one-time bad choice by a teenager.
Insurance has always been a racket, but that took the cake.

Insurance. A number of insurance companies have bailed out of my area, v citing wildfire risk. No discrimination, they just cancelled out. Unfortunately, insurance companies are not run by.mathematicians, who they hire to set their baseline profits. They're run by people who get themselves into these positions because they wanna be rich, so they start nibbling at the edges. Like Vegas casinos adding double and even triple zero to the roulette wheel, having the odds in their favor isn't good enough. They want more.

A large tree fell at Dad's house but thankfully didn't hit the house or garage. Just brushed & destroyed the gutter, so it will need to be replaced. I can do that.

No shit man. You can't trust anything anymore. I was doing a wiring harness today on a 1956 panhead. Its a restore, so I'm doing the harness from scratch with the old cloth covered wire and asphalt loom. I was searching for bikes with wiring pics to check my routing of one of the looms. I found one pic of a supposed survivor and I wasn't even sure I could trust it because one wire color was wrong. Normally before fucking AI I would say eh, its harley, probably ran out and used this this color instead. Now I had to really look to see if it wasn't some bullshit picture. I'm pretty sure it was legit because of a few little details I saw that AI wouldn't know, but the fact that I had to question it blows ass.

They think body armor protects against blunt force trauma?
I remember... a demolition ranch video where he had a plate from a new company that said it could stop a .50 bmg armor piercing. Iirc, the plate did stop one round but also ruptured the organs of the test dummy slightly.

At some point the transfer of the momentum, with high enough mass and velocity, no matter how well distributed on the target with perfect body armor, will kill just by sudden impulse of the target. The only ways to protect against that is to greatly expand the time range of transference, like with a giant loonytoon bouncy spring or redirect the projectile in a way that imparts a small fraction of the momentum to the target.

This where conservation of momentum comes into play -
Weight of man at rest + weight of cannonball x speed1 (say 1000 fps) = man + cannonball going downrange at say 900 fps... But the forces of near instant acceleration would leave most man bits going laterally outward.

During the Battle of Mobile Bay, the Confederate ironclad (the Tennessee, I think) took so many hits that the doors to the gunports jammed shut (you closed them after each shot for obvious reasons). Two crewmen tried to jimmy them open and a shot hit the doors as they were pressed up against it. The doors held against the shot, but both men were killed instantly and their remains were shoveled into a bucket.

Harlan Ellison wrote that one. I remember before I was online, I had always thought that was one of the best TOS episodes of all, but I never heard people talk about it.
Later when online polls became a thing, turned out that that one and Tribbles are regarded as the two best TOS episodes of all. (Balance of Terror is a close third)
And amazing that with just one not so big part in one episode, Joan Collin’s became one of the most memorable guest stars that Original Trek ever had on.

Fun fact: Harlan wrote the screenplay, with a scene were the Enterprise guys arrive on the planet and everything is covered in runes (ancient Viking writing.)
When it was filmed, the sets had the planet covered in ruins.
Well, I thought it was a knee-slapper.

lol that reminds of the movie “Enemy Mine” with Dennis Quaid and Lou Gosset Jr. After they thought filming was finished they showed it to the studio execs; but they said “where’s the mine?” Director and writer said “no that’s a literary phrase” but the execs said “No, you gotta put a mine in it or you’ll confuse people.” (Only people as dumb as them)
So the climax of the film became a big fight in an enemy mine. The execs insisted.

Iran. Venezuela is an American protectorate and Trump will force the regime to distribute food and provide access to medicine, etc. He has them by the throat and they know it.
China will go next because oil will be critically short with Iran offline and Venezuela out of reach. Hard to move troops around without gas.
One of the China vids I watch is saying that rebel group names are being floated around, like "Provisional Republic" and stuff.

They invented gunpowder, too. Their military tech in particular stagnated because the combination of Manchu horse archers and Han infantry was impossible for any of the neighbors to beat. So they got lazy.
They were able to build Gewehr 88 rifles (using German tooling) by the 1890s. I have a Mauser 98k built in 1945 and it was so well made as to be parts compatible with German weapons.

Paul "Cordwainer Smith" Linebarger literally wrote the book on psychological warfare.
A.E. Van Vogt wrote some good Psywar novels too. _The_Angry_Man_ was a good nvel about psywar & brainwashing. (I might be misremembering the title, but it was something like that.)

Their industrial buildup is marred by indifferent quality control. You never know what you're going to get and there are rumors that there are two grades of equipment - those used for testing and QC, and the shitty stuff they give to the troops.
And classic Chinese miscalculation - they're spending like crazy building aircraft carriers they don't need while their people are going hungry and getting sick. No housing, rampant unemployment NO SAFETY NET, and so yeah, people are getting pissed.
Xi lost major face over Maduro, and now the oil supply is going to hell. Maybe some bright-eyed general who hasn't been purged yet tries to beat him to the punch?

There are a few Youtube channels that are helpful, scour Chinese-language internet and have sources on the inside.
The Chinese video everything, and there's a certain "catch me if you can" attitude about uploading stuff.
Latest rumors have it that what looked like a horrific traffic accident in a tunnel was actually and assassination attempt, though the target is unclear. It's possible our spooks are playing with the Chicoms by spinning elaborate stories of double agents with Maduro, hoping Xi goes full paranoid and starts whacking ALL the commanders, leaving the PLA helpless.

They were still using muzzle loading stave cannon during the Boxer rebellion. The English stopped using stave cannon and moved to cast iron in the late 1600's
To learn western technology they had understand western science which required accepting western cosmology, which many in the Imperial court were unwilling to do -- much of the pretext of the Imperial system was based on theories that the world was unchanging unless it was in its nature to change. That was underscored by the possible loss of status in a new shifting world.
The Europeans did not have that luxury, since they spent their time cutting each others' throats.

CIA is kind of its own thing, and remember that Obama's people burned all their Chinese agents. The whole network was rolled up and the media yawned.
So while the DC types may hate Trump, the guys in the field may hate China even more. That's outside of my lane, so I'm not sure what is going on, but one doesn't even need CIA to do what Trump's people are doing spreading rumors of spies and such.

1. The eastern half of the country, including Kiev, is pretty much without electricity, water, and heat. The supermarkets are starting to close, too. This makes partying with the hookers in the discos somewhat problematic for the draft dodgers and war profiteers.
2. Both sides are hitting shipping in the Black Sea with drones. This will have an impact on the economies of nations which are not directly involved in the war.
3. On the ground, the Russians continue to slowly grind forward in numerous locations, with the Ukrainians managing to make a limited number of counter attacks.

Both countries have lost a generation of men.

By the time Europeans arrived in force, the Ch'ing had subdued every external enemy. Why spend money on weapons you don't need. Horse archers and matchlocks were sufficient. All branches atrophied. Since military service has zero status in the Confucian hierarchy, troops were just bandits in uniform, and giving them top-notch weaponry was an invitation to disorder.
Honestly, you can accuse the CCP of making the opposite mistake: China has no bordering threats. No neighbor can or wants to threaten her. So why waste a small fortune on armaments you don't need when your people desperately still need internal improvements? Why not provide free public schools, unemployment insurance, free clinics?

It's a Chinese thing. They don't understand foreigners, don't want to understand them, and the Son of Heaven is now bound by the laws of men.
Seriously. They broke all their treaties because they didn't consider any of them binding. They'd sign, get the Europeans to leave, and then just keep doing what the were doing. The idea of honoring an agreement with foreigners was...foreign.
The CCP turned that up to 11, because Communists Always Lie. So they quote international law while violating it. They talk about green energy while making their own air unbreatheable. And so on. China is asshoe.

This was outside the scope of the book (and to be honest, a lot of the information only became recently available), but China's small arms are a fascinating subject. Just to review: when Europeans started kicking their asses, China needed to upgrade and turned to...Germany. It made sense. Germany had few concessions but wanted to screw the British and the French, so giving China modern weapons was one way to do it.
I mentioned the Gw 88 (aka Hanyang Rifle), but I kind of glossed over the fact that in 1935, Germany sent a full slate of advisors and technical experts to help Chiang Kai-shek kill the Reds. Fully 10 divisions of infantry were fully equipped with German helmets and web gear, and China got the tooling to make Kar 98k rifles, which were of excellent quality. These troops crushed Mao's goons and the Long March would have been pointless if Japan hadn't invaded when they did in 1937. The Germans had a treaty with Japan, and pulled out, only to be replaced by... the Soviets!

DrOzCMSUS orders partial evacuation of military personnel at Qatar military base.
@DrOzCMS UPDATE: It's worse than we thought.
In October, we flagged $1.3 billion in Medicaid funds that 6 states may have unlawfully spent on health care for illegal immigrants.
Since then, we’ve gathered more data and the total has grown to over $1.8 billion across 8 states.
It's against the law to spend federal Medicaid funds on non-emergency healthcare for illegals. If states use their own money to do it, there needs to be a clear paper trail proving that federal dollars didn’t fund those services.
These states failed to provide that for this $1.8 billion. So today, CMS is announcing that we're withholding nearly $300 million from California -- which is by far the worst offender -- until they demonstrate to our satisfaction that they’re spending that money properly.
Medicaid dollars belong to Americans, not illegal immigrants, and we won’t stop until we’ve held rogue states accountable and recovered their misspent funds.
More announcements to come.
The United States military has ordered some personnel to evacuate the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar amid ongoing demonstrations in Iran and President Donald Trump's suggestion of possible military action, the Associated Press reported, citing "a U.S. official." Al Udeid previously came under Iranian fire in the wake of U.S. strikes on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program last year. The scope of the evacuation remains unclear.Does that mean the strikes are coming? I don't know. Trump announced that he had it on "good authority" that Iran had stopped massacring its people, which sounds like a possible off-ramp to a strike.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he was told by Iran that the killings of protesters will stop and that there are no plans for further executions. Iran has reportedly killed at least 2,000 anti-regime protesters so far as demonstrations engulf the Middle Eastern country. Some foreign leaders have predicted that Iran's regime is in its final days. Trump said his information was coming from "very important sources on the other side," and that executions, including one of an Iranian shopkeeper, are not expected to take place, despite a notice to the shopkeeper's family indicating otherwise. "We were told that the killing in Iran is stopping, and there's no plan for executions," Trump told reporters. "The killing has stopped. The executions have stopped. There's no plan for executions or an execution. I've been told that on good authority. We'll find out about it. I'm sure if it happens I'll be very upset."

I suppose anything is possible, though that seems like the least likely of circumstances.
Of course, having said that, the next news to the contrary, gives Trump the opportunity to say they'd lied to him, so talk is off the table (so a delaying tactic as our guys weren't quite in place yet.) Or it could be a misdirection like the "within two weeks" timeline for the strike on their nuclear facilities.

I watched a video of Nixon talking about meeting the Shah shortly before the man died. One takeaway for Nixon was, it's dangerous to be friends with the United States, mostly because of the mixed messages and ever-changing foreign policy.

I suppose that we can assume at this point that any civilians caught by security forces in hospitals, or taken off to jail, have been killed. Unless a mob killed the security first.
I don't think the Iranian government has stopped killing their people, or even slowed down, unless they are being prevented by circumstances.
And I don't think Trump believes a word they say, only intelligence reports.

Just saw someone say the USS Abraham Lincoln is likely headed to the Middle East, but it will take a week for it to get there. An analysis was two options.
We wait until the Lincoln gets there to commence operations.
Other one, we start now, and then Lincoln gets there for sustained operations in Iran. Says this is the most likely.
And reports of fighter jets all over Eastern Iraq and over Syria as well as Northern Israel. Also, reports of big movements of Israeli Iron Dome equipment being moved around to position for an attack.

Moves suggest sustained air operations, not a one-and-done strike.

Iran's bluster, probable launching of more ballistic missiles at Israel and US bases, will be handled. Hopefully.
I'd not worry too much about the peoples on the ground. Iranians or other. If the mullahs go full bloodbath they're dead before sunrise.

Look, Trump sent THREE MONTHS playing games in the Gulf of America with drug runners while all the while, training to snatch Maduro. In fact, a lot of what they did was cover for snatching Maduro. Training the Venezuelan operative to having periodic jet flyovers from the U.S.
I think Trump know exactly where and when to drop the bomb on these assholes.
I think Trump's goal it to win without intervention. But he isn't going to let the Iranian people lose either.

1) Iran tears itself apart. civil war. Tough on Iran...but the U.S. wins in that case, because Iran will be too preoccupied to do much else. No nuclear program. Houthis die off, Hamas surrenders, etc.
2) Iranian people win, that means the U.S, wins as well. Same as above.
3) Ayatollah's win, U.S. and Iranian people lose. I think trump will prevent that, and step in to get outcome 1 or 2 instead.

I have read on the internet, so I know it is true, Trump has already formally read them the riot act. IOW - all the formal steps to invoke the insurrection act.
All that is left is to push The Red Button.
So. Letting local political leaders call for an insurrection, and rabble rising, kind of puts it al together.

Just saw someone say the USS Abraham Lincoln is likely headed to the Middle East, but it will take a week for it to get there. An analysis was two options.
We wait until the Lincoln gets there to commence operations.
Other one, we start now, and then Lincoln gets there for sustained operations in Iran. Says this is the most likely.

Nope. What will happen is they will give a single warning. If you fail to immediately obey, then they bust your windows and drag your silly ass out of the car to be arrested. They take your car to the impound lot. No excuses.
Confiscate the car or have the impound lot impose huge daily storage fees.
Cost these people thousands per incident. Make this a very expensive and time-consuming tactic for them, with the possibility of getting shot. Sure, the local judge will let them off - but the tow fees and impound costs will be several thousand bucks. And sure, Soros will pay that, but my guess is the feds have more money than Soros - bleed their cash. Make this type of protest VERY expensive for them.

Trump Stops the Issuance of Visas to Migrants from 75 Welfare-Sucking Countries
MXM:
Department of State
@StateDept The State Department will pause immigrant visa processing from 75 countries whose migrants take welfare from the American people at unacceptable rates. The freeze will remain active until the U.S. can ensure that new immigrants will not extract wealth from the American people. The pause impacts dozens of countries -- including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea -- whose immigrants often become public charges on the United States upon arrival. We are working to ensure the generosity of the American people will no longer be abused.
President Trump's State Department moved Wednesday to halt immigrant visa processing from 75 countries after internal data showed migrants from those nations are entering the United States and enrolling in taxpayer-funded welfare programs at what officials described as unacceptable rates. The decision, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, places an immediate pause on visa approvals until the U.S. can verify that future immigrants will be financially self-sufficient rather than dependent on public assistance. In a formal statement, the United States Department of State said the freeze is intended to prevent additional strain on American taxpayers and ensure the country's immigration system no longer rewards welfare dependence, stressing that the administration's priority is protecting American workers and public resources. The pause affects dozens of countries identified by the department as consistently producing high numbers of migrants who become public charges shortly after arrival, including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea, with officials emphasizing that the policy will remain in place until safeguards are in place to stop what they view as systemic abuse of U.S. generosity.

What Cloward and Piven never got is that there is NO historical determinism, what one group wreaks, another can fix. And usually the result is the group that damaged the place becomes tainted and loathed by those fixing up the place.
Marx and his attempt at declaring the inevitably of his process was absolutely wrong. History does not work that way until the Lord comes back for the second time.

Take heart, I bring you good news, Jesus has already won by conquering death--that the evil cannot ever stop. So the main question is how we justify our existence on Earth to get to everlasting salvation. We do it via grace and demonstrating that we are taking up the cross ourself.

1. We the People of the sovereign US have a border and a right to enforce it.
2. We passed laws to do just that in our duly elected Legislatures.
3. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (don't just call it "ICE" which is lefty demonization) is the lawful, and only way to do that.
4. The American people also just voted for this.
5. Those "obstructing" enforcement are breaking the law, and the social-political compact to abide by the results of our elections.
6. The leaders of "Open Borders" believe we live on "stolen land" and therefore have no right to our own border.
7. Call on Chucky Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries all Dem governors to say, clearly, that we do NOT live on "stolen land" and we HAVE the right to enforce our border. If they can't or won't, let the American people recognize them for the America haters they are.

At some point, long ago, our political betters discovered how to take your tax dollars and run massive fraud schemes to line their own pockets.
It is, without a doubt, the largest theft of wealth in the world. Trillions of dollars. Over decades.
If you ever paid taxes, you were 100% ripped off. Each and every time you wrote that check to the IRS. And I'm not even going into all the other scams the politicos were running.
That there are not 525 bodies hanging from lamp-posts in the Capitol City is the real, undeniable crime here.

I have been waiting for this re-Issue to come out for about 18 months.
Sounds fantastic.

Personally, I found it telling that as soon as the lead judge in Iran issued the statement that the country's chaos must cease by any means necessary, the shootings started. Interestingly, at the time that statement was issued, he had no case in front of him. It was just a message that the IRG would not be prosecuted for outright murder of protesters.

I bet there was a loss of liquidity with those embargoed oil tankers and the blowed up cocaine boats.
I bet President Delcy Rodriguez is forwarding all the frantic collection calls to the White House at the moment.

GP: Germany to send troops to Greenland...this week. Mission to determine what supporting Greenland militarily might look like.
I rather suspect that the US currently has more military in Greenland at Thule than Denmark has in the rest of the territory.

We are not arguing it is unsustainable - it IS unsustainable.
I'd also look at the years when these people came over. Most of these immigrants arrived in the early 2000s. 25 years later, they are still drawing public assistance.
