10 James Comey's post calling for the assassination of President Trump "86 47" has, in my opinion, earned him exactly the same sort of 6AM FBI swat team raid and handcuffing that Roger Stone got. He knew exactly what he was posting.

James Comey just issued a call to action to murder the President of the United States.

As a former FBI Director and someone who spent most of his career prosecuting mobsters and gangsters, he knew exactly what he was doing and must be held accountable under the full force of the law.

We fully support the Secret Service investigation into Comey’s threat on President Trump’s life.

Comey deleted the Instagram post, saying in a follow-up that he "assumed [the sea shells] were a political message".
"I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence," he added. "It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down."

22 FYI authors and readers:

Amazon is about to reduce the royalty rate on paperbacks from 60% to 50% for any book less than $9.99 (USD), which means authors are going to (very likely anyway) raise the prices to $10.00 and above to keep their royalties at 60%. This is due to production costs of paper print.

This won't affect Kindle e-books (for now.)

"Google has revoked a critical permission to sync all files. ... "Google is stating security concerns as a reason for revoking the permission. This is hard to believe for us."

I'm left wondering if the forces of darkness figured out how to sync files out of the user's file tree and over into the system files (operating system controlled) which would mean a major security flaw on Android's part (not beyond the pale.)

77 President Trump's second term has been breathtaking. In less than 3 months he has completely blown up the entrenched global economic order, put Europe on it ass, is checking the Chicoms, brought trillions in new investments to the USA, is rapidly reclaiming all the manufacturing the USA shipped overseas, has the critical Middle East powers on board, it seems, to take out Iran, stopped the illegal immigration and is actively getting rid of them, and has the Democrat party disarray. This list is just start. I am beginning to think the Scalp Weasel deserves a spot on Mt. Rushmore.

Despite the hammering I took yesterday mowing the back acreage, I took a couple of Tylenol before going to bed and had a good night's sleep for once.

I rarely have trouble falling asleep, which I do within a minute or so, it's staying asleep. I wake up an inordinate number of times during the night and around 4:30 I just can't get back to sleep, so I pack it in and get up. Besides, the early morning hours are my favorites.

I switched to a new carrier this year and between auto and home for identical coverage with equal customer service I am paying $1000.00 less per year. Toss in my motorcycle coverage at a different company this becomes $1200.00 Yowsers.

Among the 62 points of reform, there's this one:

11. Music. Childish, sensual or sentimental music unworthy of the sacred liturgy is unfortunately widespread. Gregorian chant and polyphony must once more be given pride of place throughout the Latin church.

Several Sundays ago, I had to attend a later Mass than the 7:00 AM one I usually attend. I went to the 1:00 PM Mass, which follows soon after the 11:00 High Mass.

I got there just after the 11:00 had finished and people were leaving. I went in and to my pleasure the organist was playing Bach's Fugue in A minor, BWV 543 as a recessional. Despite being a member of the parish for nigh on 8 years, I'd never heard the organ before, since the Mass I attend has no music. I don't know if it was kosher, considering Bach was a Lutheran, but no one was ever harmed by listening to Bach.

I actually did some research last night to find out what that dance was all about.

It’s a warrior dance in the Gulf States called the Yowlah or Al-Ayayya (sic?)

It was usually done to celebrate weddings, ceremonies, or war victories.

Which is why the men are displaying thin bamboo sticks, to represent swords or spears.

It’s accompanied by drums, cymbals, etc. for music. And the women are dressed in traditional dresses doing their hair twirling.

It’s apparently a big thing over there as they even have an American Idol type contest for different groups of dancers to see who the best is.

I believe this is probably the only place some of these women can let their hair down in public like this. Although in some Muslim nations it’s perfectly fine for younger, unmarried, girls to show their hair and not wear a veil.

A reporter caught Trump’s three word response to the dance while talking to the host Sheik: “I love it!”
I do too. That was new to me.

Imagine Finding This In The Attic


Cut-price Magna Carta 'copy' now believed genuine

A manuscript once considered an unofficial copy of Magna Carta is now believed to be a genuine version and ''one of the world's most valuable documents'', according to UK academics.
Harvard Law School paid $27.50 (then about £7) for it in 1946 and for years it has remained tucked away in its library, its true identity unknown.

But two medieval history professors have concluded it is an extraordinarily rare and lost original Magna Carta from 1300, in the reign of King Edward I, that could be worth millions.

''This is a fantastic discovery," said Prof David Carpenter from King's College London, who began analysing it after seeing digitised images of it on the US university's website.

Of course it's at * spit * Harvard. Why couldn't Hillsdale have found a copy?


The Internet Is For Porn

New Bill Would Make All Pornography a Federal Crime in the U.S.

Republican Senator of Utah Mike Lee introduced a bill that would effectively ban porn at the federal level in the United States.
The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), introduced by Lee and Illinois Republican Rep. Mary Miller on Thursday, aims to change the Supreme Court’s 1973 “Miller Test” for determining what qualifies as obscene. “Obscenity isn’t protected by the First Amendment, but hazy and unenforceable legal definitions have allowed extreme pornography to saturate American society and reach countless children,” Lee said in a press release. “Our bill updates the legal definition of obscenity for the internet age so this content can be taken down and its peddlers prosecuted.”

The site I use to get around paywalls is down, so I don't have any more than that. Anyone know about this bill? If it passes, but stock in VPN companies.

I Was Told That There Would Be No Math

Mathematician Finds Solution to One of The Oldest Problems in Algebra


As you might expect, understanding how this works isn't easy for the non-algebra geniuses amongst us. Essentially, polynomials are equations that include variables raised to non-negative powers (e.g. x3). When those powers are five or above, that's a higher-degree polynomial.

Mathematicians have figured out how to solve lower-degree versions, but it was thought that properly calculating the higher-degree ones was impossible. Before this new research, we've been relying on approximations.

Wildberger and Rubine took a new approach to the problem, which is based on Catalan numbers. These numbers are used in advanced number counting and arrangements, including counting how many ways polygons can be subdivided into triangles.

By extending the idea of Catalan numbers, the researchers were able to demonstrate that they could be used as a basis for solving polynomial equations of any degree. Part of the clever method involved extending polygon counts to other shapes besides triangles.

It's beyond me, but I bet there are some of y'all who understand it.

Dudes Being Dudes

The True North Comes To Me


Will Danielle Smith steer Alberta away from separation, or will this train keep gathering steam?

Alberta's leader told Postmedia this week that many disaffected Albertans see the threat coming from the east, like other Canadians perceive the threat from the south.

"As scared as these people are of what Donald Trump is going to do to their economy, that's how scared Albertans are of what the Liberals are going to do to the Alberta economy," Smith said.

And just as heightened anti-American feelings have risen broadly — including in Alberta — the separatist movement is aiming to transform the long-brewing anti-Ottawa sentiment into an anti-Canada sentiment.

I don't know if Alberta could make it as a stand alone country, but as the 51st state? It would be nice to be a fan of an American hockey team.


These People Are Insane

Three siblings rescued from house of horrors after ‘COVID syndrome’ parents kept them locked inside since 2021

Three children were dramatically rescued from a COVID lockdown house of horrors after being forced for years to stay inside and wear face masks long after pandemic restrictions ended.

The siblings — 8-year-old twins and a 10-year-old — were finally freed from the home in Oviedo in Spain’s northwest on Monday after being locked inside since 2021, local outlet El Comercio reported.

“As soon as we got them out, all three children began to breathe deeply, as if they had never been outside before,” an investigator said.
Harrowing photos published by Spanish media showed the kids, who are German, emerging from the home wearing face masks.
Immediately after stepping outside, cops said, the children appeared to be amazed and went to touch the grass.

Child abuse, nothing but.

High On Life

Brazilian Psychedelic Plant Emerges as Potential Depression Treatment

Long used in Indigenous Brazilian rituals, the jurema preta plant, which contains a potent psychedelic, is gaining ground as a potential treatment for depression.

At street stalls where medicinal herbs are sold, customers can buy the plant's root which contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a hallucinogenic substance that researchers say could be used to alleviate symptoms.

Following instructions he found on the internet, Guaracy Carvajal extracted DMT at home in 2016 from roots he bought on the street.

The 31-year-old software programmer, who had tried various treatment for chronic depression he has suffered since adolescence, said the drug makes it "feel like you've solved something in your life."

I dunno. If it helps folks with depression, that would be a boon for mankind.

28 As the fascist curtain depends on the United States, NPR counts the cultural cost - Canadian tranny musicians are no longer willing to tour in the United States.

The Canadian singer-songwriter began writing Blurring Time in 2021 as a way to process questions about his gender identity. Once he decided to transition, he recorded the tracks in his pre-testosterone voice and again after his voice deepened, harmonizing with the past version of himself.

Blurring Time puts words to a trans experience rarely represented in the media, of the vulnerability of facing the unknown in the quest to live authentically. It resonated with fans, and Larsen began to plan his headlining tour, with dates in New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco, among other U.S. cities.

...

The policy states that USCIS only recognizes two “biological sexes, male and female,” as assigned at birth. After seeking legal advice, Larsen, who had already changed his gender marker on his passport, came to the conclusion that he had no choice but to cancel his tour.

53 I looked into the quintic polynomial solutions. I have an interest in this because the Lagrange haloes 1-2-3 demand quintic solutions.
Best I could gather - it's in the PDF #9 Eisenstein's Example theorem 11 - listing out those monster power-series, and solving them, is more of a pain in the ass than just feeding the quintic itself and its derivative into the Newton Raphson iterator.
Eisenstein's quintic, by the way, is just -t+x+x^5=0. Lagrange would have coefficients on just about all the x's here.
So: academic interest, impractical for astronomy or pretty much anywhere else you need a quintic or above.

I'm emotionally exhausted and will read tomorrow.

I was supposed to go to the lawyer's tomorrow, sign a mortgage with my brother and work to pay him off in a year for the house. But he's jacking me around and wants to be paid off now.

I took care of my parents for 14 years. I haven't left the house overnight in 9.5 years. I never wanted anything more than 50% . I figured Steve and I would figure something out. Conservatives are so fucking gullible.

He already got $100,000 settled quickly. There was $500,000 in metals we dug up..... Half his.No problem.There's $90,000 in the bank he gets the minute my living situation is solved.

I wanted a year to get my life together. I've been a caregiver forever. I deserve one one freaking year.

His cunt wife apparently wants me to buy him out immediately. Fuck her. Steve says he can't hold a mortgage for a year or she'll divorce him. I'm not married, but threatening divorce is a line you NEVER cross.

There's $90,000 I am ready to release to him tomorrow.. Another $10,000 immediately paid on the principal, $1500 a month and I'll pay him out next June 30th, even it is with the precious
metals.

How about no.

Time to get an attack lawyer.

Probate takes longer than a year, generally, and that is because of the various expenses associated with items paid after decease. Dude can wait a year, maybe longer, and not even break a sweat.

If he gets divorced, I fail to see how that is your issue.

Family are a genuine PITA sometimes. Stand your ground.

Better yet, charge him for 14 years of service, and then see what's left.

My dad's estate was pretty simple and it was still stressful dealing with it.

That was just sensible since both sibs live in different states and the estate was not big or messy enough to need to hire a lawyer to deal with it, but I still resented having to do that last bit of grunt work.

___________________________

I read the Clarity Law that dictates what is necessary for a secession of a province. In short, the law should be called the Imprecision Law. Those bastards in Ottawa purposefully were vague in defining the terms. The House of Commons stated that the people of the province must show a "clear majority" (undefined) and a "clear will of the people" (undefined).

Which means they will define those terms to benefit themselves. Now, Alberta would, obviously and correctly, state a majority is anything above 50%. Which means there will be an impasse as Ottawa will, no doubt, state that "clear majority" means something else entirely. That means Court involvement simultaneous with negotiation of departure requirements. I hate to say it, but I suspect Ottawa will offer up a deal of Alberta continuing to pay into Canada's coffers well after any departure date.

The goal will be two-fold. Continued revenue and stalling to make the whole effort continuously unappetizing.

Yep, you'd be hard-pressed to get it done any faster than a year, even for the simplest estate. In my (and your) state you've got the delay before the court even appoints the personal representative, then the four months of publication of notices to creditors, then dealing with any creditors that do show up, then disposing of any personal property and real estate (which can take an indefinite amount of time), then after all that crap is done, filing a tax return for the state.

Couple that with the fact that in Alaska the decedent may be entitled to the next year's PFD if he or she died after June 30, and it could be that it's not even possible to settle it in a year.

I'm involved in two right now. The simple one is going to total a year and half minimum. The complicated one has dragged on for four years now.

189 Any time someone starts saying "effectively bans", that means it doesn't expressly ban it.

If what Mike Lee has in store at the federal level is what has passed at the state level, then it is merely a positive age identification law, which forces pornography distributors to obtain names and government issued IDs from users as well as opening up pornography distributors to lawsuits should underage users access their product.

Because most pornography consumers don't want identify themselves and because most pornographic sites rely on a sketchy "check box if you are over 18" age verification process, most pornography distribution sites simply shut down their web access in states that pass these laws.

It's pretty sound law. We wouldn't allow bars to merely have a screen that says "Must be 21 to drink alcohol. Are you 21 Yes/No" to verify age, nor should the process be that simple for porn which is as harmful, if not more so, to society.

The state I live in recently passed this initiative, but a female Jewish judge put a TRO on it until the state appeals it, probably because all the big 3 porn sites are owned by Jews, including PornHub which is owned by a Rabbi.

My dad's estate was pretty simple and it was still stressful dealing with it. I knew my sibs weren't going to get ugly about things, but I had to battle plenty of resentment of having to deal with that shit as the 'reward' for taking care of dad. That was just sensible since both sibs live in different states and the estate was not big or messy enough to need to hire a lawyer to deal with it, but I still resented having to do that last bit of grunt work.

I never expected any of this.

Despite being caregiver, I didn't want more than 50%. But I didn't know it would be like this.

Mom, Dad and I had no unexpressed thoughts. 88 years old. 90 years old.

Dad and I were actually walking down the street when he was 90. He told me how lucky Mom and him were there that I was taking care of them.

He was worried about where I would live after they passed.

I told him I was a smart guy, Steve and I would figure something out and I would be good.

Internet tells me that" Why is an imperial ton 2240 lbs?
A long ton is defined as exactly 2,240 pounds. The long ton arises from the traditional British measurement system: A long ton is 20 long hundredweight (cwt), each of which is 8 stone (1 stone = 14 pounds). Thus, a long ton is 20 × 8 × 14 lb = 2,240 lb"

Okaaay, that makes no sense. The Brits must have been drunk when they declared that A hundred weight is 8 time our 'stone' measurement rather than 100 times our pound measurement.

The metric ton at least makes sense as 100 Kilograms.

261 "As scared as these people are of what Donald Trump is going to do to their economy, that's how scared Albertans are of what the Liberals are going to do to the Alberta economy," Smith said.

The fear of Donald Trump is an act and a virtue signal. However if you are a Canadian citizen you should be terrified of what their current despot will do to you if he does not fear the country separating.

Honestly Alberta leaving Canada right now whether it were to join the US or stay independent would be an incredible blow for freedom - piss off your citizens enough and no matter how much you cheat in elections they can still remove you as their leader...

And I have enough metals to pay him off.

But I want a year.

He can through the court system. I want a year to get my life together. He can spend thousands trying to force a sale, which if he gives me a year, I'll buy him out.

1. Comic opera theater as a passel of Russian Deputy Ministers arrived in Istanbul for peace talks today, only to have Zelensky and company spend the day in Ankara striking heroic poses for the Western media. Perhaps tomorrow the Ukrainians will bother to show up.
2. After several days of startling advances, the Russians have been slowed in a few sectors as they approach anti-tank barriers set up at the borders of the oblast (province). This may allow the Russians to shelter before the barriers, which the Ukrainian s can't cross either, and divert troops to consolidating territory and collapsing a few pockets.

I read the Clarity Law that dictates what is necessary for a secession of a province. In short, the law should be called the Imprecision Law. Those bastards in Ottawa purposefully were vague in defining the terms. The House of Commons stated that the people of the province must show a "clear majority" (undefined) and a "clear will of the people" (undefined).

Which means they will define those terms to benefit themselves. Now, Alberta would, obviously and correctly, state a majority is anything above 50%. Which means there will be an impasse as Ottawa will, no doubt, state that "clear majority" means something else entirely. That means Court involvement simultaneous with negotiation of departure requirements. I hate to say it, but I suspect Ottawa will offer up a deal of Alberta continuing to pay into Canada's coffers well after any departure date.

The steel and aluminum industries employ the "Bakers Dozen" at a smaller scale. And always will. Now and again - somebody will try to invoke the third digit. They get taken to the floor and shown thats its an engineering miracle everything works to the first digit.

2.2 lbs / kg is plenty good enough.

326 And sometimes a cunt just needs to be called a cunt.

Actually she's a sub human piece of shit.

Steve already got 100 grand, 250 grand in metals, and there's 90 grand I will happily release when we get my living situation settled.

Doesn't want to deal with me.

Steve said if he holds a mortgage, she'll divorce him. In a marriage, that's a threat you never issue. You can't go back from threatening divorce.

Screw it. Don't care.

His marriage will love the lawsuits..

I wanted to pay him out next year. But all the drama. Assholes

And she is is a fucking sub human cunt.

I got interested in how in Britain, a "hundredweight" became 112 lbs. Ultimately, it was the wool trade.

There was a concept of a "long hundred", 120, or six score, which is 6*20 = 12*10. This was not used for weights, but for item counts. Somehow in the wool trade, that "long hundred" as a count of some quantity of wool, set the weight standard as a "long hundred's" weight, which was ultimately defined as 112 lbs.

60 and 120 are "superior highly composite numbers" (you can look that up, the precise definition is complex), which have a hell of a lot of integer divisors. This is why 60 became the basis for angular divisions. 120, or "long hundred" was used for the same reason.

Bullshit.

I told her that the only negative thing I had ever heard about anyone in her family had come from her mouth, and that I didn't care to hear anything else, about anyone else, unless it was pleasant.

356 Tammy al-Thor,

Those are 5/30 questions. I'm sure there will be a tweaking to existing meds and maybe something new (oh joy!).

But I was also told when my journey started 20 years ago that eventually my heart will no longer be viable due to scarring/damage. I was told that when that happens, it's time for a transplant. They won't do those, though, unless one is on death's door, which I'm (technically) not.

So the game plan, with the ICD and the meds, was to keep me stable for as long as possible. That's been the case so far. Maybe there's something they can do or maybe this is my new normal. Like I say, I'll find out in a couple of weeks. Can't worry about it 'cause I can't change it. Whatever will be will be, que sera sera. Or something like that. I'm pretty fatalistic at this point.

Hi Tammy!

Thank you so much for responding!

Probate is actually over. There's $260,000 in the bank.

My brother Steve wanted to come over immediately to take out his share. I mentioned the house. He said he didn't want to hold a mortgage and I told him no money was going to be released until my living situation is resolved.

The lawyer told him the best situation was if I bought him out. Sure.I just want a year to get my life together

Steve's sub human bitch wife wants everything now

They already got 100 grand, dug up their 250 in metals and if we can agree on the house, I'll release $90,000 to him

Technically he is a rabbi. Lots of people get valid ordinations as rabbis. It it mainly a knowledge test. I know lots of people who are ordained but never officiated as rabbis in their lives.

People like that who use or promote the title on anything other than a job resume are always suspicious in my mind. I do not see Friedman flaunting his title. It is mentioned in the last paragraph on his page at ECP's website:

https://tinyurl.com/bdz3aybt

Every one of the non-officiating rabbis I know or the ones who have left the rabbinate for another livelihood altogether, do not use their title on a daily basis. So far as I see, Friedman is no different in that respect.

With all that being said, this just looks like another case of a law office taking on the defense of the ugliest of clients to make a profit.

"Even before his ordination in Jerusalem, however, he knew he wasn’t going to be a rabbi. "I didn't want to be ministering to people," he says. "If I wasn't buying what I was selling, no one else would buy it either." He decided instead to go to law school..."


I also found his "Unless Time Magazine is lying to us..." bit highly amusing.

When, in its entire publication history, has Time Magazine NOT lied to us?

It's been a leftist propaganda rag since Day One.

The issue isn't whether they were infallible. The issue is about the original understanding of the text they ratified. That text certainly didn't bar outlawing obscenity, and the understanding of obscenity wasn't anywhere as near narrow as it has become in contemporary law. If you want a different constitution, you should have to amend it, not get nine (five really) judges to reinterpret it to what they would have preferred the text to say. Pretending a right to porn is enshrines in the constitution is no different than pretending it prohibits criminalizing homosexuality and mandates the legality of gay marriage. There's no point in having a written document if you're going to adopt that kind of living constitutionalism.

411 {{{Stateless}}}

Sorry you're going thru the Estate Troubles.

I'm rep of my Dad's estate (Mom long gone) and Dad had previously-- couple months before he died-- signed over a vacation property to older bro that was *supposed to be* shared. My other bro & I both witnessed him PROMISING Dad that he would share, just like when Dad owned it. Everybody had a key.

Oh, no-- bro decided *he* would not only dictate/severely limit everyone else's use of that property, but prevent entirely and he promptly changed the locks as soon as Dad died.

I had no trouble getting bro to sign an Estate Resolution Agreement (ALL us kids had to sign) that a-hole bro would receive nothing further from the estate. Now he can feel *justified* in keeping us out, but at least we don't have to give him a share of the house proceeds...

Ugh.

415 Joke's on older bro!

Since Dad "quitclaimed" the property to him, the Cost Basis is what Mom & Dad originally paid. If Dad had simply let it go into the Estate, the Cost Basis would've been "current market value" at the time Dad passed...

In short: If bro ever decides to sell, he will get totally screwed on capital gain tax.

To be fair, Trump was a political neophyte in 2016 who was elected precisely because he was an outsider.

Of course Trump isn't infallible. He does stuff all the time I don't agree with but he mostly gets the big stuff right. And just because you come up with a stupid hot take I am not bound to agree with you.

For the last 4 decades all we have done as a country is bombs and war in the Middle East and we got nothing but death and debt. Trump is the first to try a different way, deals. And it is working. The Abraham Accords worked when all the experts said they wouldn't and hopefully the Saudis will join soon.

The goal is to unite the ME in prosperity not war and box out China. It's not perpetual war. Iran today is a result of more failed US foreign policy. Isolating them and taking away their money if they don't play nice is a much better strategy than constant war.

Well the alternative is war with Iran and total decoupling and possibly a war over Taiwan from China.

If that's the way things are going and it's unstoppable, then it's best to try and show you were working towards legitimate deals before ultimately having to pull the trigger.

Trump is not a warmonger, he's a tough & shrewed deal-maker.
He wants peace, because war is bad for business.

Iran is not an easy problem to solve.
If it was, Reagan would've done it around 1986 or Bush in 2005 when they were puffing their chests high on the fumes from all of their windfall oil wealth with oil at well over $100 a barrel and going on a nuclear buying spree.

I already stated that the correct play is always to attempt a deal before hostilities commence if for no other reason to be able to point to the deal being broken before the first shots are fired.

Trump has stated numerous times that Iran can never be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

So why don't you allow him the courtesy to see what he can do diplomatically, before you get your wish and we risk a nuclear exchange in the Middle East, with the likely first target being Tel Aviv?

213 Trump’s Achilles heel is his “deals”. He loves the ceremonial aspect of signing. And he knows signing a deal with Iran will be yuuuge and luxurious.

He’s not alone in this. All leaders love that shit. Greatest photo ops possible.

But trusting Iran on anything is foolish. We expect Democrats and French and Germans to do this. I had higher hopes for Trump.

Yet he wants a strong-as-hell military. To deter nations or crazy groups attacking us, destroying stuff and killing American troops and civilians. And if deterrence doesn't work to stop some nutjobs, to kick-ass and take names as swiftly as possible with extremely low or no American loss of life.

Axios: "Hard Data Suggests Tariff-Driven Inflation and Recession Fears May be Overblown"

overblown.jpg

The media has pushed the idea that Trump's tariffs would spark rampant inflation and provoke a deep recession harder than they pushed the idea that Biden was a "super-ager" who routinely "ran circles among his Millennial staffers."

And now Axios, in a brave Jake Tapper sort of way, actually bothers to look at the evidence and the numbers, and assigns its Market Watch Repoter Emily Litella to say,
"Nevermind."

Hard data suggests tariff-driven inflation and recession fears may be overblown


With major indicators from April -- the month of peak tariff uncertainty -- now in, none show the kinds of recessionary or inflationary conditions implied by business and consumer surveys.

Why it matters: Warnings and anecdotes are taking on greater importance as signs of how tariffs are working their way through the economy.

The big picture: New data out Thursday showed steady retail sales and a surprising drop in wholesale prices in April. So far, so good.

But also Thursday morning, the country's largest retailer warned that it will not be able to absorb tariff-related price increases -- even considering the trade war pullback announced earlier this week.

Walmart, known for its low prices, will pass some of those costs onto the consumer. If Walmart can't hold the line, it's hard to see how other retailers might be able to.

Walmart is particularly dependent on China for Cheap Plastic from China.

I do enjoy how they admit the facts momentarily, only to immediately undermine the facts with more spin and more premonitions of doom.

What they're saying: "We're wired for everyday low prices, but the magnitude of these increases is more than any retailer can absorb," Walmart CFO John David Rainey told CNBC on Thursday.

"It's more than any supplier can absorb. And so I'm concerned that consumer is going to start seeing higher prices. You'll begin to see that, likely towards the tail end of this month, and then certainly much more in June."

Oh, you have Concerns?

Your Concerns are:

[ ] Noted

[ ] Not Noted

[X] Ridiculed


By the numbers: Retail sales rose by 0.1% in April, after a massive spending surge that was even stronger than initially reported. The control group, used to calculate personal consumption expenditures in GDP, fell by 0.2%.

It's almost as if business optimism and consumer confidence are spiking under Trump.

Axios again attempts to re-establish its predictions of doom by speculating that spending only increased due to people rushing to make purchases before the dreaded tariffs.

No doubt, that may be a contributor. But they push aside all other explanations in favor of the negative one that reinforces their prior beliefs.

Meanwhile, inflation fell. Axios concedes that falling inflation might disprove their predictions of inflation falling.

What a major concession.

...

Between the lines: The Producer Price Index, a gauge of wholesale prices, showed little sign of tariff-related price pressures that businesses have warned about.

PPI fell by 0.5% in April after a flat reading in March, rounding out an upbeat inflation snapshot after the index's consumer counterpart released Tuesday.

Goods prices were flat last month after falling almost a full percentage point in March. Services prices fell by 0.7%, the biggest drop since the index began in 2009.

The bottom line: "There is little evidence, so far, that tariffs are inflationary and instead profit margins are being squeezed. But as Walmart suggested Thursday morning, that is a situation that may not last long," ING chief international economist James Knightley wrote in a note.

Politico, too:

Who pushed these Grim Forecasts, Politico?

If it's the sources you rely on for every DNC press release story-- are you going to apply more skepticism to their claims going forward, or not so much?

26 Because while I think the tariff efforts are good and will work out, I fully expected inflation to go up and prices to be a bit painful for a while. And we're not seeing that in most places.

now... there needs to be a caveat here. There are two areas that upset and annoy your average American: food and energy. Gas prices and food prices hit people right where they live and it really upsets people when those go up. Most people might be annoyed with how much the cost on their console game or their shaver went up, but that is an annoyance, it doesn't really hurt that badly.

So I think that prices DID to up, but not in places that really are significant to most people.

47 Yahoo Business/AP: US wholesale prices dropped 0.5% last month despite President Trump's tariffs. Wholesale prices dropped unexpectedly in April for the first time in more than a year despite President Trump’s sweeping taxes on imports.

That haven't really taken effect yet. DUHHHHH....Let's see those numbers in August/Sept

There was a rush by industries to "stock up" ahead of the tariffs so their warehouses were full. But as noted, you won't see the "effects" until the summer. Powell is in that camp noting how "volatile" inflation is (at least with the current circumstances).

You could have fooled me. I just got back from the grocery store and they might as well charge for visiting the steaks you might want to grill because no one can afford them.

beef producers are having fewer calves than usual, keeping prices high. Some producers are choosing to sell of their stock now bc of the high prices, but others worry that doing that will mean it takes longer to replenish their herds.

It is just like when Reagan doctored the Consumer Price Index in the 80's...and the CPI hasn't reflected anything near Reality ever since.

88 OK.... bit less than 14% of the US Economy is from imported products or services.

So raising Tariffs on 14%? Domestic production and spending is still 86%.... so Tariff fears were overblown.

Especially as Domestic production will increase to meet demand.

restaurants mostly buy truckloads of syrup cannisters and have them delivered.

But its true people are silly about that. In the 70s when gas was hitting a DOLLAR there were huge lines at one station that had a price a few cents lower a gallon. Since my car had what, a 20 gallon tank and it wasn't empty i would go to the higher price one with no lines.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 15, 2025 07:03 PM (2VST1)

Theoretically even US made products, including food could increase in price due to Tarriffs. If the machinery bought by farmers is from China and the machine now costs more that cost will be passed on to people who buy the food. Lots of inputs go into farming which I’m sure is largely foreign made, like everything else.

So I think that prices DID to up, but not in places that really are significant to most people.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 15, 2025 06:48 PM


Agree.

Also, food and energy price increases are the most regressive burdens on most families.

For example, many working class people spend more on gasoline (in absolute terms) than wealthier people. As a percentage of income, that is a huge burden.

That is exactly right. Some things are have to buys, like gasoline. However most things, well I can wait awhile.

Yes. All the current $10K SALT deduction does is encourage every state to tax every eligible payer $10K - because it keeps the money in the state instead of the Federal.

All raising it to $30K does is increase the shitty incentive. The current $10K hasn't broken the nation only because most states haven't taken the bait. Yet.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 15, 2025 07:19 PM (2VST1)

Predator Prey ratios. Ratio of young to adults showing how fast the young develop. The very close morphology differences from Dinos to modern birds. Dino's living in arctic/antarctic regions where it gets cold.

About the ratios. Looking at the dominant predator in the Permian, Dimetrodon, it is the most numerous species. Predator / Prey number ratios are about 30 percent predators because cold blooded animals burn less energy.

Dino ratios are very similar to mammal ratios across different habitats. Where modern lions have low ratios of predators to prey, the same terrain type in the Jurassic has a very low ratio of Allosaurs.

207 Politico is owned by Axel Springer SE.

Axel Springer SE, in turn, is owned by KKR (36%),
Friede Springer (22%), Mathias Döpfner (22%), and CPPIB (13%).

KKR is also known as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Co, owing its name to the three partners who started it, Jerome Kohlberg, Henry Kravis, and George Roberts. The latter two are co-CEOs. All three are Jewish.

Friede Springer is the surviving widow of Axel Springer, who's stated mission was "reconciliation of Jews and Germans and support for the vital rights of the State of Israel" to be a leitmotif of his company's journalism. Friede Springer serves on the board of Friends of the Fraenkelufer Synagogue and is the recipient of the the Leo Baeck Prize by the Central Council of Jews in Germany in 2000.

Dopfner, the CEO of Axel Springer, who describes himself as a "non-Jewish Zionist" was named to the executive board by Friede Springer and has contributed news article like "Make Germany More Jewish Again" during his time at the company.

CPPIB, or the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board, is owned by the Canadian government, and is chaired by Heather Munroe-Blum, wife of Jewish Canadian film-maker Leonard Solomon Blum.

Shocks like tariffs have been seen or at least understood to only partially flow through to consumers. Producers can tend to absorb them and make their operations more efficient to compensate, for example. The split tends to be somewhat competitive also (eg my competitor is only passing along 20% while I'm at 39%...).

227 The bottom line: "There is little evidence, so far, that tariffs are inflationary and instead profit margins are being squeezed. But as Walmart suggested Thursday morning, that is a situation that may not last long," ING chief international economist James Knightley wrote in a note.

So far, a lot of imports from most of the world are at 10%
Obviously the auto & steel/aluminum sectors are more.

Other than that, a lot of the stuff from China are not going to show up in inflation data.
Prices for cheap tools, and computer parts & electronics will go up some.

But much of what's coming in from China are cheap products that nobody really needs right this minute.
They're just stuff you can find on Temu or Shein any time.

A bunch of large volume products like nuts, bolts, screws, electrical connectors, transistors, and other things of that sort will go up in price, but these things are dirt cheap historically. anyhow - especially in bulk. All of those type products can be quickly moved to and manufactured in other nations because it's not really complicated to make and assemble.

Supreme Court Hears Arguments Over Nationwide Universal Injunctions Issued by Lowly District Court Justices Who Keep Electing Themselves President

A lowly district court issued a One Man Universal decision stating that birthright citizenship was the law of the land and always would be, and then issuing various nationwide injunctions purporting to control President Trump's actions.

Trump appealed, but only on one part of the ruling: The arrogance of a lowly district court judge, who only has jurisdiction over the area (the literal jurisdiction) he is seated in, issuing what he purports to be nationwide "universal" injunctions. (An injunction is a judicial order forbidding someone from doing something.)

Nationwide injunctions are highly controversial, especially by lowly district court judges, because they are at the very, very bottom of the federal judicial system, and yet they keep arrogating to themselves plenary power to dictate the elected government actions.

Even more importantly, district courts only have jurisdiction over the small, um, jurisdiction they're appointed to judge cases in. In other words, a district court judge from southern Massachusetts has the power to rule on cases in southern Massachusetts. But these low-level bureaucrats keep claiming to have nationwide or "universal" jurisdiction, and instead of limiting their rulings' effect to just the jurisdiction they are seated in, they claim they can rule for the entire country.

These rulings have long been considered out-of-bounds -- including by Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, who argued against universal injunctions issued by district courts when she was Obama's Solicitor General.

She has a different opinion now, of course.


Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley

The Supreme Court argument is now concluded and there was far more heat than light offered inside the courtroom...

...Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh seemed strongly in favor of the Administration. Roberts also made repeated points that seemed to support some of the arguments of the Administration, though it was not clear how he would vote...

...On the left, Kagan repeatedly strived to distinguish this case from her earlier objections to universal injunctions under the Biden Administration. She seemed solidly with Sotomayor and Jackson...

...That leaves Gorsuch and Barrett. Gorsuch has previously expressed criticism of universal injunctions but asked probing questions on both sides. Barrett seemed more accommodating in seeking a way to uphold universal injunctions...

Of course this c*nt did.


...In other words, this could be a nail-biter. I think that the Administration still has an advantage in curtailing universal injunctions. However, I did not come away with the sense of a lock with a majority, particularly given Barrett's questions. I am also unsure how Roberts and Gorsuch will play out on the details. Fortunately, we will likely know within a couple of weeks.

From Ed Morrissey:

NYT legal reporter Adam Liptak sums this up with fair accuracy:


The justices have been struggling with two contrary impulses. Many are troubled by injunctions issued by individual federal judges that block executive branch initiatives nationwide. But many of them are also troubled by the executive order seeking to ban birthright citizenship and frustrated by the difficulty of reaching the merits, as the Trump administration has only appealed on the first point.

New Jersey's lawyer may have offered a middle ground, arguing that this is the rare case in which nationwide relief is needed because it is the only way to grant complete relief to the more than 20 plaintiff states.


@ShipwreckedCrew predicts the justices may split, and uphold the universal injunction only as to the ban of Trump's order reversing so-called "birthright citizenship," but setting up oversight/checks-and-balances for universal injunctions in all other cases.

The "wise Latina" Sotomayor kept Asking Statements of the Solicitor General. She would "Ask" a Declaration and then cut off the Solicitor General before he could respond.

Even Roberts eventually had enough of her, and interrupted her interrupting to tell her that he actually wanted to hear the Solicitor General's answer to her statement.

Martin Harry
@MartinHarryFL

Listening to the birthright citizenship oral argument at the US Supreme Court. Justice Sotomayor continues to be argumentative, ask questions without allowing a response and monopolizes the Court's time. Chief Justice Roberts had had enough and cut her off. Later, he directly contradicts her belief that Supreme Court review takes 4-5 years, even in emergency cases.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts reined in Justice Sonia Sotomayor during argument over birthright citizenship and nationwide court injunctions on Thursday.

Sotomayor dominated questioning for several minutes at the outset of Thursday's argument after taking over from Justice Clarence Thomas. She pressed U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer for President Donald Trump's administration on several points relating to the authority for federal courts to issue nationwide injunctions, often speaking over the lawyer and interrupting him.

Sotomayor argued that Trump's order invalidating birthright citizenship violated four Supreme Court precedents, and that it was justified for a federal judge to grant an injunction against such a controversial order.

"You are claiming that not just the Supreme Court, that both the Supreme Court and no lower court, can stop an executive from universally violating holdings by this court," Sotomayor said.

"We are not claiming that because we're conceding that there could be an appropriate case only in class only," Sauer said.

"But I hear that--," Sotomayor said, beginning to interrupt Sauer.

"Can I hear the rest of his answer?" Roberts then interjected.

Amy Coney Barrett, naturally, demanded to know if Trump would not only abide but agree with a lower district (Hawaiian) judge's assumption of the powers of the presidency.


Meanwhile: Deb Heine at American Greatness says that a judge has rigged a hearing on Trump's tariffs to make sure that the judges hearing it are On the Right Team.

A three-judge panel at the United States Court of International Trade in lower Manhattan heard arguments in the case Tuesday, and reportedly "appeared skeptical" of the president's arguments.

If the panel decides that Trump's emergency declaration was unlawful, it would effectively block the president's global tariffs and upend his economic agenda.

The chief judge of the United States Court of International Trade is Mark A Barnett, who joined the court in 2013 after a nomination from President Barack Obama. He became chief judge on April 6, 2021.

According to the well-placed source, rather than drawing the panel at random, Chief Judge Barnett "fixed" the outcome by selecting three judges whom he knew would "overrule the president" and render his tariffs "null and void."

13 ...In other words, this could be a nail-biter.

No it won't. Barrett will side with the other women, because that's what Barrett is going to do the rest of her time on the court - and what she was destined to do when she was appointed. No woman is going to go against the consensus of three other women in any group.

When faced with a 4-4 tie, Roberts will side with the four liberals. Because that's what Roberts does. And he doesn't want to be unpopular in his social circle.

32 Want a new kind of citizenship?
"Derived Citizenship", that is the spawn will have the same status as the parents.

This was actually the case prior to the 19th Amendment. Being a patriarchal society the child citizenship was derived from the father (if known), mother next*, and finally American by default if the child was a 'foundling'.

*Being before the 19th, women who married derived citizenship from the husband. There were standard forms (SF) to resort ecitizenship to women who married foreigners after this knock-on effect from the 19th turned up. That SF was (and may still be) available on-line. It was 25 years ago.

60 How does the U.S. Court of International Trade have any standing to decide tariff issues?

Tariffs (along with taxes, etc.) mainly go to Congress as an Article I, Section 8 power. However, Congress has slowly been handing the reins over to the Executive Branch with numerous Trade Acts.

Did Congress sue the Executive? If not, then the Trade Court is creating a constitutional crisis by arrogating powers to themselves not given under the Constitution or any subsequent law.

THEY are the ones issuing unlawful orders.

He was very against nationwide injunctions as he said it usurped the voters will. He stated at that time that it was going the other way however. This has been brewing since at least then. I think the court will find against nationwide injunctions but side step the citizenship issue, leaving it up to legislation

104 A super Catholic woman, which some confuse with being conservative.

Posted by: Leupold at May 15, 2025 05:48 PM


We sent our kids to Catholic school even though we are not Catholic, since it was so much better than our public schools.

My wife and I were instantly embraced by the entire parish.

I was later shocked to learn that in 2008, 68% of Catholics voted for Obama.

The Catholics I knew were at least 90% proto-MAGA.

I finally asked a few people about this. Turns out our neighborhood parish is almost certainly the most conservative out of most of the surrounding portion of the state.

Catholics (like everyone else) are not a monolithic group.

I have no problem supporting a Catholic in the future, but be sure to make it a MAGA one!

She has a different opinion now, of course.

“Catholic” is a cultural thing. I meet a lot of “Catholics” who haven’t been to Mass in 20 years but still call themselves Catholic.

According to polls, something like 2/3rds of Catholics don’t believe Christ is really present in the Eucharist. But they’re not the ones attending Mass.

IANAL, but I believe "judicial immunity" only applies to civil charges. She is facing CRIMINAL charges, and her lawyer argued to drop the charges based on a legal precedent that is NOT applicable to her circumstances.

271 That said, the proper response of the Supreme Court about lesser federal courts should be "that's up to congress, they created the courts and the constitution leaves their definition and use up to congress."

However, that said, the supreme court CAN rule that the lesser federal courts cannot rule in ways that limit or control the three other branches. They cannot overrule actions by the Executive, Legislative, or Judicial branch. Now, that third one is assumed: you cannot overrule a higher court. But it should extend to ALL of the three coequal branches. ONLY the Supreme Court is given the constitutional authority to rule on the other two branches as part of their check and balance operation.

A comical turn would be for Trump to take one of these Judges, sit him down and say "ok you want to be in charge of the government -- lets do it." You want to get someone pulled out of a prison in El Salvador.?

Then make him personally decide on each of the steps in the process and personally do it. No breaks. No help from assistant executives. You go to each step and do it yourself.

I worked on a project in grad school where we could beat the results of the ground penetrating radar by using high-frequency seismic.

Our source was an M2 machine gun mounted facing downwards on the back of a pickup truck. You fired one in the ground to test the seismometer array. You put the next round into the back of the first round, and got a very nice high frequency ping.

The lead professor wrote up a proposal to improve the method using a 20mm cannon, since he knew there was a ton of old military surplus ammo.

The federal government (ATF?) said, "Nope, 50 cal BMG is the largest round you can fire!"

Paid Liar Jen Psaki's Ratings Tank

Rachel Maddow has gone back to her one-day-a-week gig, collecting $25 million per year for this tiny amount of "work" like a good socialist, and it's now on the slender shoulders of Ginger Clownwhore Jen Psaki to keep the dying cable channel alive.

It's not looking great.

It was a Psaki bomb.

Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki tanked with a key demographic in her new show's second episode -- indicating possible trouble for her future ratings.

Her new gig features her show "The Briefing" in MSNBC's prime time slot, at 9 p.m. on Tuesdays through Fridays, while "The Rachel Maddow Show" pivots to only being on air Mondays.

"The Briefing" had a strong showing of 1.2 million viewers on Tuesday, with 139,000 viewers in the key demographic of people ages 25 to 54.

But viewership quickly dropped Wednesday, with 1 million viewers tuning in -- and just 65,000 people in the coveted demographic tuning in, according to Fox News.

"The demo" is usually defined as ages 25-54. That kind of a range. People with jobs who can afford to buy stuff, and people who are young enough and callow enough to have their buying choices influenced by advertising.

In other words, "the demo" is all of us. We're right in the meat of the demo with our nearly-universal "almost 29" age demographic.



For comparison, Fox News' Sean Hannity got 2.64 million viewers on Tuesday at 9 p.m. with 312,000 in the highly desired demographic, while CNN's Kaitlan Collins eked out 468,000 total viewers but scored 75,000 people ages 25 to 54 watching.

The former press secretary had left her job at the White House in 2022 to pursue a gig at the liberal outlet, and began hosting "Inside with Jen Psaki" on Sundays in March 2023.

...

[M]addow had managed to bring in better numbers when she held the prime spot.

The host averaged a total of 1.9 million viewers and 141,000 among viewers aged 25-54, per Fox, meaning that Psaki's Wednesday episode had brought down the number of viewers by a total of 46% and 54% in the important demo.

Adweek, a publication which seems left-wing and very pro-MSNBC, spins MSNBC's collapsed ratings as "mixed" and says it's merely experiencing a "slow start" with its new lineup.


MSNBC's new programming lineup finished its first full week, and the numbers were mixed. The network experienced week-to-week declines in total viewers and the Adults 25-54 demo during primetime and total day. MSNBC continued to miss Rachel Maddow's nightly presence as it fell by double-digits in both measured categories during primetime.

So MSNBC's ratings fell in all categories by double-digits and that's "mixed"?


Meanwhile, Fox News had 96 of the top 100 cable news telecasts and was the most-watched cable news network during the announcement of Pope Leo XIV's election.

...


MSNBC's primetime lineup averaged 892,000 total viewers and 77,000 A25-54 viewers for declines of -12% and -13%, respectively.

During total day, MSNBC averaged 564,000 total viewers and 52,000 demo viewers for respective dips of -2% and -5% in those measured categories.

Among all basic cable networks, MSNBC stayed at No. 4 in total viewers and dropped four spots from No. 15 to No. 19 in the demo during primetime. Across total day, it remained at third place in total viewers and remained at No. 13 in the demo.

Mixed.

25 "The demo" is usually defined as ages 25-54. That kind of a range. People with jobs who can afford to buy stuff, and people who are young enough and callow enough to have their buying choices influenced by advertising.

In other words, "the demo" is all of us. We're right in the meat of the demo with our nearly-universal "almost 29" age demographic.

Well their agenda is typically to make money but the hard left has managed to infiltrate a lot of boards and convinced people that they real path to money IS to push the left's agenda.

I think we need to be very careful here. I am as close to a free speech absolutist as can be, but I do still recognize that all freedoms have boundaries of free expression in a functioning society (such as slander).

We have to make sure that any limits on expression are only ones of absolute necessity to civilization, and always be incredibly suspicious of government power. But with the idea of pharmacy ads, I have ALWAYS had serious problems with the idea. Advertising OTC drugs, fine. That's consumer choice.

Sorry, not sorry, I'm not buying the typical "it all used to be better until the Left corrupted it all" trope. Its been this way our entire lives.

For example, the Ford Foundation. Established in the 1930s. By the 1950s they were funding the arts and humanities - not exactly a bastion of conservatism. By the 1960s - they were into contraception as a declared means of population control. By the 70s - loans to Bangladesh.

Look, to steal a line from Ace, know "Muh Corporations" is a big rallying cry for the Old School Right. Like I said, we need to unlearn a lot of the crap we were taught.

Frankly, I don't understand why the Left EVER wanted to limit them. And other than the indoctrination at a young age, I don't know why a free self-governing people ever trusted them.

124 That Psaki bint isn't even hot

She does not have a face for television, no. She's not hideous but she's in the Tater category of "got the job for having a specific ideological perspective" than talent or charisma.

For example, the Ford Foundation. Established in the 1930s. By the 1950s they were funding the arts and humanities - not exactly a bastion of conservatism. By the 1960s - they were into contraception as a declared means of population control. By the 70s - loans to Bangladesh.

Sure, all businesses have always had an agenda in addition to making money. None were entirely without any interest or inclination EXCEPT earnings. But earnings are the purpose of existence and meaning of corporations, and that has never changed.

I have not argued they used to be ideologically pure. I pointed out that they are still driven by the desire for cash, but they have been fooled to think that pushing for the left's agenda IS the way to make cash.

They aren't the failures, their parents are. Kids are a reflection of what they are taught, and it's been all down hill for decades. The Boomers get (rightly) picked on because they broke the chain that tied the present to the past.

If you go back to the beforetimes, you see clear lines of continuity. People married young, had big families, gender roles were accepted and religion dominated public life.

All of that was swept away and we now stumble around the wreckage wondering what can even be done.

To put it another way, you can't tell a generation to bootstrap itself up when they were forbidden to have boots out fear they might kick someone.

They used to have an inclination by their founder and corporate culture to back and support certain ideas. Usually charity choices to help with tax breaks, but often just "I like this cause."

That's changed now, they are far worse now. They aren't donating to causes, they are actively promoting them in their advertising and products. They aren't donating to politicians to get a good mood from whoever is elected, they are using their money to promote specific politics. Its far, far more worse and more extreme than it ever was.

Even in the 70s, when Coke would do a hippie ad, it was not specific about leftist causes. The would promote basic anodyne concepts like "peace" and "brotherhood" not "your sister can be your brother" and "homosexuals parading naked on the street is my bag."

And the source of that is not corporate political leaning like it used to be

The parents voted for the school board. They voted for the politicians who tore down our institutions and generally just shrugged it all off.

A big factor in the decline was the collapse of family formation, meaning less people got married and had kids, so they checked out on maintaining the guardrails society needs to hold itself together.

If you consider recent the 90s. That's when I started seeing women wedged into rolls of authority. Star Trek Voyager anyone ? Also known as Why I'd Space the Captain Myself. I can cite others.

Hollywood has been trying to push narratives as long as I can remember. MASH was all about political statements. Archie Bunker. The only difference was they'd push "just" hard enough not to kill the golden goose.

The leading edge of Boomers turned 20 in the late 60s, which is when things went off the rails. It's so weird to look at the style of "Breakfast and Tiffany's" when men wore hats and everyone dressed up and New York was neat and safe and realize how close they were to the end of all of that.

And of course it didn't happen all at once, it was a long, slow grind until Boomers became the preponderant demographic, taking over from the fading Silent Generation and dominating Gen X with a massive numerical advantage. Bill Clinton's election symbolized that changing of the guard, and it's crazy how fast morality collapsed.

266 The leading edge of Boomers turned 20 in the late 60s, which is when things went off the rails. It's so weird to look at the style of "Breakfast and Tiffany's" when men wore hats and everyone dressed up and New York was neat and safe and realize how close they were to the end of all of that.

And of course it didn't happen all at once, it was a long, slow grind until Boomers became the preponderant demographic, taking over from the fading Silent Generation and dominating Gen X with a massive numerical advantage. Bill Clinton's election symbolized that changing of the guard, and it's crazy how fast morality collapsed.

283 >>And of course it didn't happen all at once, it was a long, slow grind until Boomers became the preponderant demographic, taking over from the fading Silent Generation and dominating Gen X with a massive numerical advantage.

It was members of the silent generation that gave us the beginning of what we now call the Deep State. Ronald Reagan to be precise.

After Carter demolished much of the operations side of the CIA, Reagan helped found and fund the National Endowment for Democracy. That was one of the very first NGOs and despite its lovely name it was tasked with basically doing what the old CIA operations wing did. That was the beginning of the country being run and manipulated by career bureaucrats and put us where we are today.

I happen to like Reagan and think he did many good things but that was a major clusterfuck of an idea. It's silly to blame any one generation and think they uniquely created all the problems of the world. It's always been a group effort. There are good and bad in every generation, every part of society, and we are all a result of those who came before us. Your generation will get their time in the box.

Kind of. Rather, what it establishes in your mind is that there’s a pill for whatever ails you. Maybe you don’t have plaque psoriasis, but those good folks at Big Pharma are looking out for the people who do.

And then, when your doctor says you need a new $500 /month pill, you’re more receptive. Most doctors these days are pharma salespeople. The ads reinforce that relationship. “Ask your doctor about..”

Don't think too many were hippie marchers. I think the way it worked was there was a generation change between the old cold war leaders and major players and their lower staff. As the Cold War ended the leaders retired, and the lower staff got elevated to the top. But with less practical experience than the old bosses the new wave in the 90s decided it was too much work to change worldviews, so they kept the Russia Bad US Policeman going with an increasingly bad fit and discarded the logistics backing it all up. And our worldview became increasingly divergent from the actual world situation. This peaked in Ukraine where the planning was that one round of sanctions not including oil and gas would cause Russia to collapse. When that did not happen they had no plan for how to get out of it, and still don't. But they want to fight forever with no proxy, no weapons, and no economy to build arms.

House Investigating Whether Pfizer Slow-Rolled Their (Fake) Vaccine Announcement to Further #Rig the Already-"Fortified" 2020 Election

Bob Hoge at RedState quotes the WSJ (a Murdoch-owned paper, as Lyin' Jake Tapper would add):

Lawmakers are investigating whether Pfizer waited to share results of the Covid vaccine in 2020 until after that year's presidential election, based on new allegations that a former Pfizer scientist has said he was part of an effort to "deliberately slow down" the testing, according to a new letter from the House Judiciary Committee.

The House panel is seeking information from Pfizer and from the scientist, Philip Dormitzer, after learning he allegedly told colleagues in 2024 at a subsequent job he was worried he would face an investigation of his role in the vaccine's release and asked to be relocated to Canada.

Lemme just slip this in here real quick, as P. Diddy would say to his unconscious victim:

To promote his own book, Jake Tapper had on the two Wall Street Journal reporters who reported that many congressmen worried about Biden's compromised mental state. Back when it mattered -- before the election.

He called them "heroes," and said they had been "smeared by Democrats."

But Jake Tapper himself was one of the Democrats smearing them, you'll be completely unsurprised to hear.

NYU apologized for the student’s speech and announced that it is pursuing disciplinary action against the speaker.

Not saying they are right, but this is how the news has operated since at least the 70s when I was a kid and first came to understand what they do. The media thinks if they admit to an error they made yesterday, it would be making the news about them, which is bad when convenient.

This is why I will never willingly take any product produced by PFE, especially when there's an appropriate substitute.

Collins was Acting Director of the National Intelligence Council, Langan was his Deputy.

88 Review of the Hate Feed on the SCOTUS arguments today:
They seem to grudgingly concede that nationwide injunctions by a single judge have enough votes and the Court does not like the practice.
But are hanging on the unwieldiness of every person challenging it having to file a case or the difficulty of class certification.

But that's the problem--the Court seems to assume that it is its job to "solve" that.
Rather than--follow the fucking rules and leave any solution to the people where it belongs!

Kagan and Sotomeyor have already admitted they've pre-judged the underlying question--without it being briefed or developed below!
With Wide Latina calling Trump's EO "illegal" several times.
And also sneering several times about how Trump has "lost every case."
ACB looks to be wanting some sort of solution, demanding the S.G. answer more precisely Kagan's Q.

There was an interesting bit where the Court questioned about whether the Executive could ignore their rulings.

Suggesting the Court is close to declaring itself King.
There's going to be enough in the left bloc opinions that will drive a majority of the public against the Court; Judge Dredd will appear constrained in compare.

She said hello and I don't think she smiled, if she did, it didn't make it to her eyes, which is all I could see through the slit in her face coverings. She handled the order efficiently. But the veil definitely hinders the most basic human connection that I take for granted.

Goodbye, Morris. We are all gonna miss you. You could be hard on directors, make-up artists, costumers - really anyone with arms or legs - but I know you did it for the ultimate good of the film. The day you wouldn’t come out of your trailer unless we sent in 40 heads of lettuce taught me a powerful lesson: never compromise your art. I will never forget at craft service that time when we split the Three Musketeers bar and you let me have the bigger half. But that’s who you were.
I know your character’s decapitation in the first movie precluded your participation in the sequel, but we all appreciated the fruit basket and the hilarious note. I will miss the sound of your tail sliding through the tall grass, your cold, bumpy skin, but, most of all, I will miss your infectious laugh. Thanks to Mr. Young for taking care of you all these years, and vaya con dios, old friend.

The Constitution says that Habeus Corpus can be suspended in times of insurrection or INVASION.

Trump signed an executive order declaring the border situation an invasion... using that exact term. Texas Gov Abbot also sent a Letter, as demanded by the Constitution, saying Texas was being invaded.

These facts are not in dispute. Yet Courts are still yacking about due process...

Note, the Supremes have also set precedent that the Courts should not intervene with Executive Powers during a National Emergency (Covid cases)... which Trump has ALSO declared.

211 I'm with you - but it wasn't a weak flu like virus. It became that over time as most viruses do.

Yeah it was dangerous at first, and I know personally a few otherwise healthy people who died (like OregonMuse, sadly). Almost all of the deaths, by a huge margin were the very elderly and the otherwise very unhealthy. And there are some serious long term effects; my sense of taste changed permanently. My brother Joel never really recovered and finally succumbed to RSV.

It was never as deadly as it was portrayed, and a good 75% or more of the deaths claimed for the Wuhan Flu were not due to that, but it wasn't ever a mild or typical yearly flu.

Congress needs to learn the speed and wide spread direction of attacks on the bad guys. Trump and DOGE are way, way inside the OODA loop. By the time the ponderous enemy gets their refutation story and defense lined up, Trump is off annexing Japan, Elon has found 27 billion of new fraud and waste, and the judges are flummoxed by another path to allow the Executive to do its job.

No, I think this time it's legit.

...the viruses that is. The researchers all were sweaty, because they were French, presumably

By the way, the six-foot recommendation in the U.S. was derived from original French recommendation of 2 meters. We just rounded that down because saying 6.56 feet seemed cumbersome.

Used to love Pizza Hut the most but the one near my neighborhood screwed it all up so I switched to Dominos.

Luckily, at that time, 2010 or so, Dominos had left behind their old "takes up half the pizza" crust, and their new recipes and different crust styles were awesome.

But Marcos has the best tasting, freshest ingredients for chains around here.

The only other place I get it from is a local guy who's originally from New York. His gets too be way to greasy sometimes for my tastes but otherwise it's excellent.

251 Remember the original claim was that the clot shot was 100% effective in stopping the spread of COVID. But very quickly the stats showed you were slightly more likely to get COVID if you had the clot shot versus if you were a pure blood.

Now the argument there became "well people who were vaccinated feel more safe to go in public so they are exposed more". And...that's bullshit, the people who weren't afraid to go in public were the people that didn't take the shot either, but when you claim the shot is 100% effective that argument is not persuasive...even as they then started dropping the claimed effectiveness down again and again...

267 For easy, good, homemade pizza, I use pre-made "Stonefire" flatbread, pizza sauce made by RAO, then use Sargentos thick cut shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and then the meats & veggies.

Use an arifryer, mine has the grill, put it in there as high as temperature as you can get it for about 2 - 3 minutes.

Awesome.
The flatbread and pizza sauce are really good for store-bought.

It was proposed as a solution to disease spread by a german doctor during the 1800s I thought. It was never tested. The 6 ft distance was essentially made up. It had no impact on the spread. A private school in the northeast moved the distance to 3 feet and noted no change. The fact of the matter is none of the suggested safe practices made a bit of difference. And a few of them, like mask wearing by the aged, actually created their own respiratory troubles.

At one BBQ place the cornbread had zucchini in it. Wtf?

The best brisket I had was at Buc-ees. Their brisket is pretty ok, if you tell them to leave the sugary slop off.

Still, I find it hard to consider Buc-ees a BBQ place. Plus, they have it in other states, so eh.

341 no fear of the unvaccinated unless they dropped dead from the upper story of a building on you.

Another case in point. A corpse falling off a building rarely lands more than two meters away from the building (in the absence of strong cross winds). So maintaining a three-meter distance from tall buildings offers a good one meter safety margin against being killed by COVID by proxy.

346 It was proposed as a solution to disease spread by a german doctor during the 1800s I thought. It was never tested. The 6 ft distance was essentially made up. It had no impact on the spread. A private school in the northeast moved the distance to 3 feet and noted no change. The fact of the matter is none of the suggested safe practices made a bit of difference. And a few of them, like mask wearing by the aged, actually created their own respiratory troubles.

It was a guesstimate about how far spit would fly if you coughed. It was originally meant as a separation for people WITHOUT MASKS ON. Its adoption for masked people was stupid.

A Proper Pizza Deck is running at 650+.

The instant you drop a cold pizza on it, the temp bottoms out, as the Pizza sears.

It has to be moved to another spot on the deck to finish cooking properly.

This is why a proper Pizzeria has a guy who manages the Oven. Cleaning/brushing and mopping the stone is also required.

Doesn't appear to be working.

As I said the other day this was a colossal own goal. Tapper thought he could make money while deflecting any blame or responsibility for ignoring Biden's obvious mental decline because he's Jake Tapper, ace news man.

All he did was highlight his culpability and hypocrisy and give his critics and even many of his former supporters a massive target for abuse. He made the mistake of believing his own bullshit, that he was so trusted and admired he could blame everyone else and avoid any responsibility, and it completely backfired on him. Now people are lining up and taking a number for their turn to drag him.

353 What confuses me about the Jake Tapper thing and the discussion of media RE Biden's brain is WHY? Why is it coming up now? Why are they talking about it? They could just ignore it and it would pretty much go away, one of those things we all know about but doesn't come up much.

It makes me suspect that there is some kind of civil war in the Democratic Party for who is in control, with factions fighting and the anti-Biden crowd trying to weaken the pro-Biden crowd.

Diversity, Which Is Our Strength, Stopped Before It Can Launch a Terrorist Attack at Detroit-Area Army Facility

I'm just loving all of this enriching, ennobling, enstrengthening diversity. Moar please!!!


A former National Guard member from Melvindale, Michigan, near Dearborn, was busted for attempting a mass shooting at a base in nearby Warren, Mich.

Dearborn, you say? The Fallujah of Michigan?

Very diverse. Very strength.

Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19, was arrested and charged with providing training and materiel to undercover federal agents. Investigators claim the planned attack is related to ISIS.

The plan was to launch a mass shooting at the U.S. Army's Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility just north of Detroit. This is not a military base but more of an Army facility.

Breanna Morello
@BreannaMorello

ISIS TERROR PLOT

A Michigan Army National Guard member was arrested for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at the U.S. Army's Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command facility in Warren, Michigan, on behalf of ISIS, according to the Justice Department.

Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said was apprehended Tuesday after traveling near the military base and launching a drone as part of his attack plan.

In conversations with an undercover FBI agent, Said reportedly advised, "I recommend everyone have about seven magazines because you don't want to be in there and run out of ammo," as detailed in a criminal complaint.

He faces charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and distributing information related to a destructive device, with a potential penalty of up to 20 years per count if convicted.

Democrat judges can recognize the strength of diversity when they see it, and will free Hamas members to nurture that strength.

Judge Patricia Giles of the Eastern District of Virginia ordered President Donald Trump's administration to release Suri after two months of detention in Texas for allegedly violating his student visa.

Giles released Suri "without bond and imposed minimal conditions beyond requiring him to continue attending court proceedings."

The media glosses over the root of the problem regarding Suri. They've done the bare minimum while burying the lede: DHS accused Suri of spreading Hamas propaganda and antisemitism on social media and has links to Hamas.

Suri is married to Mapheze Saleh, an American citizen, the daughter of Ahmed Yousef.

Yousef served as an advisor to Ismail Haniyeh...a top Hamas leader taken out by Israel in Tehran in July 2024. Also:


Ahmed Yousef was a senior Hamas figure in Gaza and an adviser to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. He also founded the United Association for Studies and Research, which had ties to officials at Georgetown and its Alwaleed Center where his son-in-law, Suri, now works. The United Association for Studies and Research was a Hamas-affiliated think tank that operated in the United States from 1989 to 2004. According to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, it was established by Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook and served as a front for Hamas activities in the United States, including propaganda and fundraising.

So diversity. Much strength.

Anti-Israel protesters and Islamists gathered in Katwijk in the Netherlands yesterday to disrupt a pro-Israel event held by in a church. [A Christian church, fancy that]

Local youth and football fans of the area, Katwijk, Rijnsburgse Boys, and Quick Boys clubs, typically rivals, united to form a protective barrier around the church to shield it from the demonstrators.

Violence quickly broke out, with the young men driving off [tire irons?] the aggressive Islamists encouraged by the radical imam Abou Hafs, who is suspected of ties to ISIS.

Riot police arrived on the scene and the Islamists left the small town, which known a Christian stronghold.

As I understand it: Quatar offered to LOAN the US govt a new(er) Boeing 747 to be used as AF-1 while Boeing finishes our plane(s)*. And THEN, when the current AF-1 747 is "retired," it could end up "on loan" for display at the future site of the Trump Library.

The day you wouldn’t come out of your trailer unless we sent in 40 heads of lettuce taught me a powerful lesson: never compromise your art. I will never forget at craft service that time when we split the Three Musketeers bar and you let me have the bigger half. But that’s who you were.
I know your character’s decapitation in the first movie precluded your participation in the sequel, but we all appreciated the fruit basket and the hilarious note. I will miss the sound of your tail sliding through the tall grass, your cold, bumpy skin, but, most of all, I will miss your infectious laugh.

303 Review of the Hate Feed on the SCOTUS arguments today:
They seem to grudgingly concede that nationwide injunctions by a single judge have enough votes and the Court does not like the practice.
But are hanging on the unwieldiness of every person challenging it having to file a case or the difficulty of class certification.

But that's the problem--the Court seems to assume that it is its job to "solve" that.
Rather than--follow the fucking rules and leave any solution to the people where it belongs!

Kagan and Sotomeyor have already admitted they've pre-judged the underlying question--without it being briefed or developed below!
With Wide Latina calling Trump's EO "illegal" several times.
And also sneering several times about how Trump has "lost every case."
ACB looks to be wanting some sort of solution, demanding the S.G. answer more precisely Kagan's Q.

There was an interesting bit where the Court questioned about whether the Executive could ignore their rulings.

Suggesting the Court is close to declaring itself King.
There's going to be enough in the left bloc opinions that will drive a majority of the public against the Court; Judge Dredd will appear constrained in compare.

Jake Tapper Reportedly Hires a Crisis Communications Firm to Stop Criticism

jaketapperyouaremockingstutteringchildren.jpg

Whaaaa...? Jake Tapper getting enraged and defensive about valid criticism and using sneaky social media tactics to push back on it? That makes no sense at all!

Tapper is getting a lot of criticism from a lot of people for posing as a "reporter" on Biden's Dementia.

He made a PR move yesterday, offering a non-apology on CNN. It's the standard non-apology, where you say something that sounds a little reflective and self-critical but in fact you're doubling down.

If you didn't see the wormy non-apology, it's here. He says, prompted by his CNN colleague who was certainly told to ask him this question, claiming that only "conservatives" are criticizing him, "some of it [the conservatives' criticism] is fair, to be honest... but knowing then what I know now, I look back at my coverage, and I did cover some of these issues but not enough, and I look back in humility."

He then insists that Biden only became demented around 2023-2024, continuing to insist there was no story before then. Though he also does acknowledge that the separation of Biden into the "functioning one and non-functioning one" began in 2019-2020. But he is firm that it wasn't that bad at that time, thus absolving himself and all his fellow Regime Conspiracists from having noticed it until June 2024.

We can now see that this non-apology was almost certainly offered only because the crisis manager he'd hired told him to offer a fake, non-specific statement about the indisputable and now-notorious fact that Tapper himself was one of the main architects of the very cover up he now wants to be paid to "expose."

And wait until you see the crisis manager's client list!

Breaker reported earlier this month that Tapper has hired Risa Heller, a crisis communication expert described as the "warrior of choice" for "cancellable elites" trying to survive a scandal. In 2022, Heller met with former CNN boss Jeff Zucker days before he was forced to resign for, among other things, concealing a romantic relationship with a subordinate executive. She helped Anthony Weiner navigate his (first) dick-pic scandal in 2011. Jeffrey Toobin, the disgraced CNN personality, sought Heller's counsel in 2020 after he was caught pleasuring himself on a Zoom call with colleagues. She worked with convicted Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes on a sympathetic puff piece in the New York Times ahead of her sentencing. She represented an Estée Lauder executive who posted a Sesame Street meme using the n-word, and defended the voice of Elmo against allegations of sexual impropriety with minors. Now she's helping Tapper learn how to be "nicer" to fellow journalists.

Some context: Tapper is a notorious crank with a habit of sending indignant DMs to journalists and other commentators who criticize him on social media. Some have described his stubbornness, thirst for vengeance, and refusal to admit fault as "positively Bidenesque." There's at least some evidence that Heller's human decency training has rubbed off. The day after Breaker revealed the PR flack's involvement in the book rollout, Tapper praised his co-author, Alex Thompson of Axios, as a "great reporter and a kind person and a good friend," which was awfully sweet of him.

...

Mark Halperin, among others, has a different view. "One thing that's not true is that the cover-up was so good that no one could see this, that we couldn't possibly have gotten to the bottom of this during the election," he said. "It is not true that it's only after the election that Jake Tapper could've gotten to the bottom of this, and the rest of the Washington press corps could've gotten to the bottom of this." The media were not simply "stymied from getting to the truth" by lying White House aides, Halperin argued. "No, they were part of the conspiracy and the cover-up. They allowed themselves to believe the ridiculous spin on TV and in public, and privately they allowed themselves to be browbeat," he said. "They were told, you will lose access ... Reporters who covered any story the Biden people didn't like were denied access."

Media reporter Dylan Byers noted Tapper's insane levels of "self-promotion and sanctimony" are even bothering to annoy his fellow leftwing hacktivists.

And now we know who made that deceptively-edited video that both Tapper and Thompson linked, which purported to show, through cheapfake manipulation, Tapper showing any interest in the story.

From February, when Tapper brazenly announced that he would be uncovering the cover-up that he so energetically participated in:

Stephen Green
@VodkaPundit

Watching @jaketapper cash in on his own professional malfeasance is probably the most Beltway thing ever.

Some memories of the media joining Tapper in the conspiracy:

APBidenismostlyfine.jpg

nbcrepublicansfloatconspiracytheory.jpg

axiosclaimsbidenisingoodcogntivehealth.jpg

Via Drew Holden: NBC "News" cited "brain experts" to reassure citizens not to worry about Biden's clearly-shot memory, that doesn't affect his ability make decisions at all!

doesntaffectdecisionmaking.jpg

It's like when people lose their sight and their other senses get very sharp to compensate. So Biden's brains are rotting garbage when it comes to memory. That just means that his wisdom and judgment functions must have gotten super-sharp.

Right? That's how it works, right, "brain experts"?

"No one could have known!"

nooneknew.jpg


And from the Federalist: nine times Tapper showed what a valuable soldier he is for the Democrat Party by insisting Biden was "mentally sharp."

41 To be clear, Jake Tapper cares about one thing. Jake Tapper. Arguably, the book wasn't written to elevate him, personally. It was cover for those that make decisions about Jake Tapper's continued presence on CNN.

More specifically, ask yourself a question. Do you really think Jake Tapper controls the topics and positions on his own show? He's property just like every other show on CNN (and every other "journalist" employed by a major media conglomerate).

Tapper is running interference (and trying to carry favor) with Mark Thompson (sorry, I don't use "Sir" before anyone's name...it's childish). The decisions makers enlist the media owners (Thompson) who give the marching orders to the "talent" (Tapper).

Tapper thinks if he obfuscates and wiggles around a bit, he comes out looking better...(not to the public)...but to the head of CNN who does the hiring and firing.

47 Speaking of which, we need to go after Dr. O'Connor's medical license.

O'Connor, in an official medical memo released for publication, described Biden as a "healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male", when at the same time he was doing everything possible behind the scenes to limit Biden's activities.

O'Connor was also likely to have been a participant in the discussions regarding putting Biden in a wheelchair if he was reelected.

Physicians have a professional obligation to testify truthfully to medical matters.

O'Connor had the option to say nothing about Biden's state of health, due to doctor-patient privilege; but if he chose to publicly discuss Biden's state of health, he was under a professional obligation not to lie about it.

The media has no soul to search for, so they will never look at how they created the environment in which a great president could leave office deeply unpopular due to mostly a completely uninformed populous, while a truly awful president was thrust upon America as a savior from things that are mostly ___inary problems.

No Democrat would have won. Trump quit campaigning half-way through because the fix was in. In a world with a difference of one-or-two-points, how could they have taken the trifecta?

Biden was stabbed in the back by his own party. Biden misspoke and flubbed a few lines during the debate and overboard he went, along with his stellar accomplishments.

384 The media were not simply "stymied from getting to the truth" by lying White House aides, Halperin argued. "No, they were part of the conspiracy and the cover-up. They allowed themselves to believe the ridiculous spin on TV and in public, and privately they allowed themselves to be browbeat," he said. "They were told, you will lose access ... Reporters who covered any story the Biden people didn't like were denied access."

OK now let that last bit sink in; "They were told, you will lose access ... Reporters who covered any story the Biden people didn't like were denied access."

Now, I imagine you're not surprised by this particular idea, it was pretty obvious that the Biden administration would do this, they did it with Clinton and Obama before him.

But let us put this in context. President Trump's team banned the AP from the white house press pool for refusing to call the Gulf of America by its new name. The press freaked out like a bee got in the car. HE IS DESTROYING FREE SPEECH!!! FASCISM!!!

While meekly obeying the Biden administration to avoid ALL access to the White House.

The costume looks dull and not quite right. None of the costumes look right, and DC used to be really good at making things comic accurate, or more so.

I liked him in two movies, that I suppose played to his real-life personality.

One was a comedy, "The Pest" where he played the most annoying and obnoxious character imaginable as the target of a "The Most Dangerous Game" scenario. Very funny.

The second was the meth freakout dark comedy "Spun" where he played a totally obnoxious, totally sleazy, scumball drug dealer. He was very good in that in that you really hated him.

I suppose the key word here for the highpoints of the Leguizamo oeuvre is-

obnoxious.

Democrat House Member to Introduce Bill for "Reparations Now"

GFY.

Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., plans to introduce a sweeping "Reparations Now Resolution" this week, calling for trillions in federal spending to support Black Americans. The move intensifies the Democrats' push for reparative justice, even as critics question the economic and social impact.

Key Details:

Seeks trillions of dollars in reparations, citing slavery, Jim Crow, and systemic racism as justification.

Follows Rep. Ayanna Pressley's February legislation proposing a federal reparations commission.

Blue states like California have also floated reparations programs amid broader DEI-focused efforts.

Diving Deeper:

Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., is preparing to introduce the "Reparations Now Resolution" on Thursday, escalating House Democrats' efforts to secure massive federal payouts for descendants of Black Americans. Lee announced her plan during a Capitol Hill event this week, declaring reparations a "moral and legal obligation" that America must confront.

"This is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built. We should be the ones who are shaping it," Lee said, emphasizing the urgency behind her legislation. In remarks directed at the Trump administration's rollback of DEI initiatives, Lee warned that conservatives aim to shape the nation's future and urged progressives to "fight like hell" to advance their vision instead.

...

Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., introduced a related bill earlier this year to establish a federal commission tasked with studying the lasting effects of slavery and crafting specific reparations proposals. At the time, Pressley claimed the country was experiencing "anti-Blackness on steroids," vowing to continue the pursuit of what she described as racial justice.

People are tired of this, and the Democrats just keep doubling down on it. They still haven't been delivered enough of a rebuke. They won't stop this until Republicans win supermajorities in both chambers.

How is everyone?

62 -------
From April: Trump's order (regarding The Smithsonian) noted, among other things, that the show “promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating ‘Race is a human invention.’”

In interviews, several scholars questioned why the executive order appeared to take issue with that view, which is now broadly held. Samuel J. Redman, a history professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst who has written about scientific racism, said that “the executive order is troubling and out of step with the current consensus."
------------

If that is the case.... if "scientific consensus" holds that race is merely a "social construct" not a biological one - which is what the libs claim out of one side of their forked mouths - then who the *hell* is supposed to get these "reparations"???

Will anyone ask? I know damn well Trump will. Will ANY fag Republican dare challenge this on these grounds?

Or will they wake up the next day and say it wasn't enough and what's more that if you think a little money could ever solve 400 years of racism, then you're a racist and you are minimizing the real problem.

Just like Climate Change, it's a fake issue with no solution. It's blackmail and blackmail is famous for never stopping, and in fact only getting worse.

167 The vast majority of modern-day descendants of slave-owners from pre-1865 America now identify as BLACK.

No joke.

Approximately 2% of modern-day "white" Americans are descended from Antebellum slave-owners. Most "white" Americans are deascended from immigrants who arrived here after 1865: Irish, Polacks, Italians, Jews, Swedes, Krauts, Russians, etc. etc. This accounts for up to 70% of 21st century "white" Americans. The rest are descended from older US pre-1865 famileis that were dirt poor and never owned slaves, or weren't from slaves states.

Meanwhile, to be blunt, any child born from a relationship between a slave-owner and a black female slave was automatically classified as "black" in that era. Most lighter-skinned 21st-centiry blacks are descended from such unions. Thus they are the (illegitimate) decendants of slave-owners.

Reparations? Light-skinned blacks must pay dark-skinned blacks.

Just submit genealogical proof and they're on their way to farming or ranching, or other riches. Assign parcels randomly, some may contain oil or minerals, others may only contain arid wasteland. You'll have to accept the offer to find out what you'll get.

The Morning Rant

Mis Hum Rant.jpg


It was once said, "It takes a village to raise a child." Unless one of the villagers is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Then the Professional Know-It-Alls cry like like toddlers having their Teddy Bear confiscated.

Over the years we have heard the mantra, "It is for the children!!!" But, it basically boils down to the cool villagers and their acolytes grifting off the rest of the village. Lording their position over the uncool villagers. The money drips here and there on children. But, most of it finds its way into a certain number of private hands and other body parts and/or orifices.

Bobby Kennedy demonstrated the hypocrisy of the left and to some extent the right to the world if they happened to tune into his testimony before congress on Wednesday May 14th.

It isn't about the children. It is about a certain group of elected and non-elected officials who cannot admit they are wrong or the science isn't settled (Unless they cling to their beliefs)

Let's examine one of these "Politicians" who questioned Secretary Kennedy. The politician in question is one U.S. Congressman Mike Simpson (R-ID).

Rep. Simpson is a dentist. But, I'm not sure how much practicing he has been doing since he has been a congressman since 1999. Before that he was busy with the Idaho state legislature where he served from 1984-1998.

As a "Dentist" Rep. Simpson should have known better than to match wits with Sec. Kennedy without doing any type of home work regarding fluoride use. Do better "Doc" Simpson, do better. Or at least your overpaid and under employed staff
could do better.

The congressman cares about the children and the need for dentists yet doesn't know about the HHS own report. The HHS which he is a member of an oversight committee. Fluoride Exposure: Neurodevelopment and Cognition.

Application
An association indicates a connection between fluoride and lower IQ; it does not prove a cause and effect. Many substances are healthy and beneficial when taken in small doses but may cause harm at high doses. More research is needed to better understand if there are health risks associated with low fluoride exposures. This NTP monograph may provide important information to regulatory agencies that set standards for the safe use of fluoride. It does not, and was not intended to, assess the benefits of fluoride.

This is maddening. The questioning/statements thrown at Mr. Kennedy by the jack asses democrats makes one want to throw heavy items at the screen.

And here you thought you could get by without seeing the congresscritter who identifies as a "Wicked lesbian witch of the east".

We put in a whole house water filter. It removes 100% of all the crap put in our water to 'make it better'. Installer told us it removes flouride, I said I didn't care. Looking at the tech specs, it removes a LOT of stuff the gummint puts in the water and was designed specifically to do so. Water tastes better right out of the tap now, and I no longer smell chlorine from the tap. Clothes feel softer after washing. Good purchase. It also reverse flushes to the yard twice a week and cleans itself. I look at the drain spot occasionally and there is usually a sludge of nasty looking shiz at the outlet that it has filtered out of my water supply.

25 As a "Dentist" Rep. Simpson should have known better than to match wits with Sec. Kennedy without doing any type of home work regarding fluoride use.

Most medical professionals, as with most non-medical professionals, pretty much know what was the thinking when they left school. Continuing education is based on ethics, the latest way convince your client to give you more money, and regurgitation of the same BS as always.

Very few people in the science industries have a scientific mindset. They don't look at studies which say things other than what they already "know". This, of course, is exactly the same as the people who aren't in the science industries. It's also why the government should keep it's fingers out of things.

26 We gave fluoride supplements to our daughter when she was 3-7 and we lived in cities that did not add fluoride to the water. This move limits parents’ choice and is more government interference. But I’m sure MAGAts only care when it is THEIR choice being taken away.

More money for dentists soon as lots more kids get cavities. Kids love sugar.

I anticipate fierce backlash to this and any other revisions to FDA guidelines or rules that Makary and Bob have in their less than scientific plans.

"a scientific review ... with the aim of removing them from the market" - it's not a SCIENTIFIC review if it is intended to reach a pre-determined conclusion, whether Marty Malarky thinks so or not. That's a political review, just like if Pope Paul V ordered a scientific review with the aim of banishing Galileo for heresy.

Toothpaste is next. Get ready for very poor dental health and also black market to get ahold of these products to protect your teeth.

As soon as the MAGAs are banned from working in government every harmful thing they do now can be UNDONE. I hope we're all keeping lists.

32 I have it good authority that even the tiniest amounts of arsenic in water are bad and must be removed.

The bill lowering the acceptable arsenic level in drinking water was not passed by Congress as a separate bill. Instead, it was implemented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of their broader efforts under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Specifically, the EPA lowered the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for arsenic from 50 parts per billion (ppb) to 10 ppb in 2001.

If that's the case, then even tiny amounts of fluoride must be removed. In fact, we should probably all stop drinking water altogether. It's too risky.

46 See, the great thing about removing mandates is that whatever was mandated is no longer required.

And I know that this will confuse mast Democrats, but "not required" is not in any way the same thing as "forbidden".

Toothpaste manufacturers were already removing fluoride from their products, because there was a demand for non-fluoridated toothpaste.

Yet the fluoridated versions still exist, because there's a demand for fluoridated toothpaste too.

Fluoride isn't going away. People who want it will be able to have it, people who don't want it won't have it forced on them.

54 It isn't surprising that a US representative would be closed to the introduction of new information or refining their view, as the same character traits are common among everyday people as well.

Most people, by nature, believe their positions on any given topic are as a result of their adoption of the proper information, and where their position aligns with the orthodox, commonly held position, they feel even more committed to defending it against any outsider from that position. This is why the process of growth is so slow, we brand any dissenting voice as a "conspiracist" or "nut-job" or other such pejorative.

COVID cracked the shell, to some extent. But many still struggle in letting go of long-held internal narratives upon which they based their worldviews, suffering from Gell-Mann amnesia.

The truth you discover through observation, experimentation and even intuition, are superior to truth relayed by authoritative sources. This is largely because authoritative sources have vested interests in being the font of truth, be they monetary, political, egotistical or psychological in nature.

Those with the most to lose are those whose narratives are existential.

56 Hey- real dentist here. The congressman is correct. Every study shows fluoride in water reduces cavities. Every study shows fluoride is safe in proper doses. Water, oxygen, protein are toxic in excess amounts. In my career I've seen smooth surface cavities (the ones prevented by fluoride) explode since folks have started drinking filtered/bottled water. I can tell by xrays alone which patients have fluoride in their water and which ones don't. While Kennedy is correct that reducing sugar is the best option, until Americans stop consuming so much sugar, cavities in children are going to explode if we don't use fluoride in water. Not a single municipality has harmful amounts.

83 My understanding is the rush to put flouride in the water was due to a large percentage of the population, especially children, not using a flouride toothpaste or regularly seeing a dentist to give them flouride. Giving it in drinking water was always a bit questionable - compare how you drink a glass of water versus how you brush your teeth

Anyway most children have access to a dentist and toothpaste now so flouridation does little at best.

96 88 So the obesity epidemic isn't genetic it is caused by one of more of the changes since then:

less physical work
less physical play/recreation
more sugar and carbs
less animal fat
less smoking


hmm. perhaps it's some sort of physical law dealing with conservation of fat. less animal fat results in more human fat to keep the books balanced.

99 Tapper Hires PR Crisis Guru as Biden Book Backlash Erupts

Embattled CNN anchor Jake Tapper has enlisted a PR crisis guru amid scathing criticism of his new book, which claims to expose former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline—despite spending years attacking conservatives for making the same argument. Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson hired crisis communications expert Risa Heller and her firm Heller Co., to help in their May 20 launch of Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. Heller is no stranger to scandal.

105 My understanding is the rush to put flouride in the water was due to a large percentage of the population, especially children, not using a flouride toothpaste or regularly seeing a dentist to give them flouride.

In boot camp, recruits were assembled in mess halls and given small tubes of flouride and toothbrushes, and instructed and observed while they applied and brushed. I draw no conclusion from this, it's just a bit of Americana.

132 On May 9, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations,” addressing one of the most insidious threats to American liberty: the unchecked expansion of criminal penalties through regulatory sprawl.

The order accomplishes two key reforms. First, it limits criminal enforcement to cases in which a person knowingly violates a regulation, discouraging the use of “strict liability,” which bypasses the traditional requirement of criminal intent. Second, it compels federal agencies to publicly identify every regulation they enforce with criminal penalties, along with the statutory authority and mental state required for conviction. That such basic transparency has never been required is an indictment of how far the system has drifted from constitutional norms.

150 I've seen a lot of people using Grok recently, so I tried it for the first time on a Rick Wilson X post.

@grok is Rick Wilson a beta male or soy boy?

The terms "beta male" and "soy boy" are subjective insults, often used to mock men perceived as lacking traditional masculinity, especially in politically charged online spaces. Rick Wilson, a political strategist and Trump critic, is targeted with these labels due to his progressive stances and intellectual approach. However, his assertive leadership in the Lincoln Project and confident media presence contradict these stereotypes. The terms reflect cultural biases and political divides, not objective truth, and are criticized for promoting toxic masculinity. Wilson's actions suggest strength and influence, not weakness.

I guess AI only learns what it's taught, so I can't be too surprised or disappointed with this answer.

Growing up in the 50's, most of us kids weren't allowed to buy those candies because our parents thought of them as a waste of money. Most of the little confectionary stores in town sold either Hershey bars, those little strips of paper with tiny candy dots on them, or chocolate "breakups" at a penny a apiece. But we also didn't spend much time in the house, either. Always outdoors running around like maniacs, burning off the calories.

197 The problem is...most everyone doesn't want to wait that long. You can get short term effects rapidly. But long term effects would take decades to know...literal decades. Usually, we just guess from long term effects on animals, which is a bad way to do this.

When I was trying to decide what to do about the clot shot I went to a forum for medical researchers where someone asked how they could know if the shot was safe.

The response was that to measure the safety of a drug you needed years of study, not the weeks that the shot had - the shot could give you cancer or make you grow extra fingers know one would know for years but "you should take the shot"

This is exactly what prompted me to NOT get the clot shot.

Also, there was a fight in Trump's first term about whether the FDA would let people with terminal illnesses take unapproved drugs. Trump's argument was that we should because they are going to die anyway, and the establishment argued no because, uh, the drugs might kill them.

And then these same people started mandating the clot shot not knowing what it would do for an illness that wasn't life threatening.

My Hungarian mom was the same. She knew no other way. Cooked as her mom did before her. And being that my entire neighborhood was mostly Hungarian, Polish or Slovak, either right from from the old country or 1st generation American, all my friends pretty much had the same experience. This was in the 50's, early 60's. Candy or even soda was not considered "necessary" in your diet. Occasional treat, but not a staple.

231 The terms "beta male" and "soy boy" are subjective insults, often used to mock men perceived as lacking traditional masculinity, especially in politically charged online spaces. Rick Wilson, a political strategist and Trump critic, is targeted with these labels due to his progressive stances and intellectual approach. However, his assertive leadership in the Lincoln Project and confident media presence contradict these stereotypes.

LOL. Grok doesn't grok that involvement in the Lincoln Project definitely makes Wilson a soy boy. He'd have to be interested in women in order to be a beta male.

Frankenthaler Eros1.jpg

Eros
Helen Frankenthaler

If Helen thinks that painting depicts Eros in any way, then Helen needs to work on her love life.

I am sure she had some grand message she thought she conveyed with this absolute mess of a painting. And I am equally sure that the critics gobbled it up, ascribing all sorts of esoteric nonsense to what is an amateurish skill with a brush. No matter how deep and complex the supposed meaning is, if the work is junk, what's the point?

Give me a skillful artist who takes pride in the task over a clown with obvious lack of skill masquerading as a serious artist. The skillful artist produces works that please the eye. The clown produces works that must be deconstructed to reveal...anything!

That purplish square looks like a smudged lipstick kiss.
There's a face at the bottom, looking up.
Eros being all about sex and desire, I suppose one could consider this a "portrait" of sorts, a depiction of desire.
That would explain the "kiss" and the face.
That curved, folded edge could be explained by any bodice ripping romance novel which always have a line such as "the sharp edge of desire soften, curling through her blood and body as she arched toward his heat."

Verdict...
It's fucking ugly.

I think people are getting hung up on the word she used for title. Sometimes an artist srtarts with the title, and paints what they think matches it. Sometimes they complete a work, take a step back, and ask themselves: ‘what am I going to call this thing?’
A word pops into their head and that’s what they roll with.

205 The Left can't meme, real world, part #934.

The DNC trolled President Donald Trump by flying a banner that read “Welcome to Qatar-a-Lago” over Mar-a-Lago Wednesday. DNC Chair Ken Martin said that Trump is “using the presidency to personally enrich himself while he bankrupts working families...His corruption is a slap in the face to the millions of Americans who are struggling to get by and put food on the table,”

He added: “Today, the DNC is highlighting what foreign autocracies around the world already know: Trump has no loyalty to the American people, national security, or the Constitution – his only allegiance is to his bank account and his billionaire buddies.”

Even Ted Cruz, usually a staunch supporter of Trump, joined a number of his Republican colleagues in expressing concern. It just dawned on him that he's Canadian-born, with a Hispanic name, making him more likely to wind up in an El Salvador gulag than most.

277 Trump signed EO with the intent of reducing federal crimes that could result in jail time. It's an attack on the 'unknowingly commit 3 crimes before breakfast' executive branch in decades of rule making. Bravo.

From insty -

A few bullet points:

What does this do? The most important part is that every agency has 365 days to list out all the regulations that have a criminal penalty and then that report has to be made public.
All future regs have to state criminal offenses clearly. Mens rea is back on the menu! The default will be to require mens rea.
This EO is tremendously important and will have direct, and hopefully immediate, affect on more or less everyone in America. And did you hear anything about it? Anything at all?

The Morning Report — 5/ 15 /25

QatarSnipe.jpg

Good morning kids. Putting aside the issue of the jumbo jet "gift" from the Qatari government, which is being spun as some sort of massive quid-pro-quo influence peddling bribe of President Trump, which it clearly is not, signing a trade deal with that government on the order of $1.2 Trillion dollars is kind of pretty big effing deal.


“Today in Qatar, President Donald J. Trump signed an agreement with Qatar to generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion,” the White House noted in a fact sheet. In addition to the agreement, the document states the U.S. and Qatar companies have come to terms on economic deals equaling $243.5 billion.

The $243.5 billion in deals between the nations is headlined by Qatar Airways’ $96 billion agreement with Boeing and GE Aerospace to buy as many as “210 American-made Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X aircraft powered by GE Aerospace engines,” a White House fact sheet noted.

This marks a record-breaking order for Boeing.

While certainly this is all well and good, behind the President's back the Qatar-snipe PM vomited this out:

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thania stated that a deal between Israel and Hamas can’t be reached when there’s a “fundamental difference between the two parties. One party wants just to retrieve the hostage[s] and continue the war and the other party wants to end the war and doesn’t think about the hostages.”

Qatar has been a safe haven for top Hamas terrorist leadership for years where no doubt much of the strategy and tactics of the October 7th attack on Israel were planned and perhaps even directed once the IDF initially began its counteroffensive.

Unfortunately, the capital of that viper's nest Doha is home to a significant American air base and our warships are docked there as well. As the home of al-jazeera, Qatar, broadcasts anti-western and anti-semitic propaganda 24/7 all across not only middle east but to the world at large.

Significantly, they are not and have no intention of signing onto the Ahraham Accords, which was one of President Trump's most significant foreign policy achievements from his first term and upon which many had hoped would change the course of history in the region for the better. And then came Biden and then October 7. And the rest is history. Figuratively and quite literally.

The President is also parlaying with the new leader of Syria and some, including our friend he estimable Robert Spencer have thus far been impressed with Trump's moves in the region.

Trump has done it again. That much is clear. He has outmaneuvered and out-thought everyone else, and did what many others assumed to be impossible.

But what exactly has he done? On Wednesday morning, during his trip to Saudi Arabia, Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who from 2017 until January of this year, was known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Al-Sharaa was the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the “Syrian Liberation Group,” a Sunni jihad group that had been linked to al-Qaeda and was working to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. . .

. . . In many ways, Trump’s meeting with al-Sharaa is as momentous, and could be more momentous, than his first-term overtures to Kim Jong Un. The two meetings come from the same wellsprings: Trump is attempting to break longstanding logjams and end the status quo that the foreign policy establishment, both inside the U.S. and elsewhere, had come to take for granted. . . So Trump wants to make peace with old foes based on mutual economic interests. He is giving al-Sharaa a chance to demonstrate that he really is no longer a jihadi and wants to build a stable and prosperous Syria. It could happen. The global jihad, although it is ignored everywhere, continues nevertheless. It never goes away. Individuals and states, however, can and do put it aside for considerable periods in order to pursue other interests. . .

. . . Nevertheless, Trump’s attempt to create peace based on common interests and move beyond the present logjam is as welcome as it is audacious. Once again, Trump appears to be way ahead of everyone else, as he was when he established the Abraham Accords even as John Kerry was confidently telling the world that such a thing was impossible.


The fly in the ointment as it were is "Islam." Spencer correctly states "The global jihad, although it is ignored everywhere, continues nevertheless. It never goes away. Individuals and states, however, can and do put it aside for considerable periods in order to pursue other interests. . . Bingo. the only way it goes away is either the internal reformation of Islam or its defeat/destruction.

Spencer seems to ignore his own words vis a vis that the jihad never goes away. But for Donald Trump or any American political leader to even attempt to articulate this is tantamount to committing political suicide. Despite the fact that the last American political leader to articulate the mortal danger of Islam and to act to defeat it was Thomas Jefferson.

All that said, Trump's moves in the middle east vis a vis Qatar and Syria are perhaps very good in the short term. Is a legitimate rapprochement and transformation of the Muslim theocratic/political mindset vis a vis the West and Israel likely if not actually possible in the long-term? Well, we'll have to wait and see. If 1,500 years of history teaches us anything, I wouldn't hold my breath. But to not try, whatever this President's motivations may be, would be a moral failing of massive proportions IMHO.

And speaking of the Islamic threat, In that faraway Middle Eastern Shithole of Michiganistan...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has confirmed the arrest of 19-year-old Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said on May 13, 2025, for plotting an Islamic State-inspired mass shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) facility in Warren, Michigan.Said, a Melvindale, Michigan resident, faces charges of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State (ISIS) and distributing information related to a destructive device, each carrying a maximum 20-year prison sentence. According to the Justice Department, Said supplied armor-piercing ammunition and magazines, recruited two conspirators, and flew a drone over TACOM for reconnaissance. His plan was set to unfold on the day of his arrest, but law enforcement stopped him cold.“This defendant was stopped dead in his tracks as he conspired with others in planning a deadly attack on a U.S. military base here at home for IS,” the Justice Department said. The swift intervention prevented a potential catastrophe at TACOM, a critical hub for military vehicle development.Said’s alleged betrayal, as a former National Guard member, underscores the insidious reach of radical Islam, even among those sworn to protect the nation.

19 Here Are 16 Of The Most Egregious Injunctions Barring The Trump Administration From Doing Its Job

--

It seems pretty apparent that nobody is going to do anything to go after these judges who don't have the authority to do what they're doing. I see no action from Congress. I see no action from Trump, suggesting he's not going to go scorched earth and ignore them. So...he'll never be able to accomplish the biggest things the American people elected him for. Namely, clearing out the illegal aliens.

The cherry on top is Congress, led by the R's, who aren't doing a damned thing to codify his agenda with legislation. They don't seem to be doing much of anything, for that matter.

I'm fine with that as long as Chauvin is relocated to a red state with understanding laws about gun ownership.

24 That murderer Karmelo Anthony most likely had a MO where he went to his penitentiary's sporting events and he would raid the other team tents/areas and vendors spaces looking to steal anything he could lay his paws on. Can't be the first time he was in someone else's tent or a place he shouldn't have been. He was on parole when he was born.

26 Two years’ probation, which includes 100 hours of community service, required school, and a promise not to break any laws.

Laws like being in the country illegally.

I like the "required school" part, probably since it is ordered by the Imperial Judiciary, the costs will also be completely underwritten by debt backed by future tax payers. And while the court orders an education (does this include a doctorate from an Ivy league?), this killer will also be entitled to complete financial support so that he can focus on his studies.

Maybe 150 just like her, and 150 just like AOC. She has the energy and the experience as well as a tongue that triggers snowflakes and engenders the consternation of sea-lions. Did she say anything to offend insecure white men?

Her very existance seems to offend a lot of them. Jasmine's voice, energy and spirit speak for so many of us. She has more common sense than the entire republican Congress combined.

I think she needs to moderate the name calling. 'Hot wheels' ... 'white boy'. Name calling isn't a very strong argument and diminishes her message which I agree with. Name calling is ...... Republican.

She used a common expression in her community and people threatened by an intelligent woman of color are pretending to be offended. Same crap pulled by republicans and FAUX News for decades.

This is what replacing a Constitutional Republic with Calvinball looks like.

Normally when a POTUS fails on the domestic agenda, he turns to foreign agenda. The failure is not PDJT, the failure is that the 2nd Amendment hasn't taken care of the feral judges and the legion of insurrectionists and terrorist that goes by the brand name "Democrat".

65 Putting aside the issue of the jumbo jet "gift" from the Qatari government, which is being spun as some sort of massive quid-pro-quo influence peddling bribe of President Trump, which it clearly is not, signing a trade deal with that government on the order of $1.2 Trillion dollars is kind of pretty big effing deal.

66 I like the jet deal.

It pokes a thumb in Boeing's eye for being late and incompetent, and yet is part of a larger deal that gets record sales for them as a chance at redemption (and huge job creation). It shows Qatar that we're serious about playing ball with them, so long as they cut ties with the forces of decay and misery in the area. It gives the idiot left something impotent and stupid to gabble about and waste their gunpowder.

All in all it seems to be a solid play.

Its an excellent troll by the Master of Trolling the Left.

Gift or not, it would take years if not decades to prepare any aircraft for AF1 status. Everything the government touches is a jobs and corruption program. If, after billions of dollars and many years a product is actually rolled out, it is guaranteed to be obsolete, needing billions of dollars and decades more to fix.

Why? It proves the rule. Boeing is perfectly capable of producing quality aircraft, there are all kinds of orders for their products.

What Boeing is doing with AF1 is handling a Government Contract which is never about producing a real product, but is simply a money laundering and corruption program to pump money to faithful Party Members.

100 Unless Trump is planning to militarily occupy Minneapolis and other major cities and jail their leaders for insurrection, a Chauvin pardon sn't going to achieve anything besides burning a bunch of cities again.

If he is planning that, then I'm 100% for the idea. I'd like nothing more than to see a SEAL team kick in some mayoral and gubernatorial doors and haul them off to a black site for a good hard waterboarding.

112 > Rogue Devices Capable Of Triggering Blackouts Reportedly Found In Chinese Solar Panels
----------
I watched a video done by Brig. Gen. Doug Wickert, 412th Test Wing commander about China's military build up and he riffed a bit on their infiltration into our industrial control software systems. These systems are used to control the electrical grid, water purification and distribution, traffic control, etc.

He claims China can, at will, shut many of them off or otherwise disrupt them. Because the software used in most of this is corrupted with Chinese malware that for one reason or another we can't remove. Either it's integrated with the software or something that renders the control software unusable if removed.

So, I'd say the issue is probably not 'just' isolated to Chinese solar panels.

The state charges were adjudicated at the same time as the federal, he's serving 22 year for state charges and 21 years for federal charges, concurrently.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at May 15, 2025 08:41 AM (XV/Pl)

116 I am not going to say that Derek Chauvin did nothing wrong, because he most certainly did. Floyd was unresponsive and unconscious for more than a minute before Chauvin got off him and allowed the other officers to start rendering aid. That being said, murder charges were ridiculous, as nothing Chauvin did in any way caused, or even contributed to, Floyd's death.

I also say there was no reason for the feds to dogpile on additional charges. Nothing about the incident necessitated federal intervention of what was a local matter. For this reason, I would support a pardon, but does anybody really benefit from this? Chauvin would still languish in jail based on his state convictions, Trump gets negative PR, not just from Democrats and media (pardon the redundancy) calling him a racist, but also for being the cause of additional riots. Local Minneapolis businesses get trashed by rioters. Again. Law abiding citizens can't go out because of the riots, and, after the riots are done, all the stores are closed due to damages. The only people who would actually benefit are the looters. So, no, I don't see a pardoning Chauvin as a good idea.

The GOP is more sly in their hatred and contempt for Trump and for We The People by blowing smoke up our collective ass and then doing nothing or lying about some back room treachery that they negotiated with the Left.

In my X feed, I saw an entry from the SotH and immediately below that another entry from some rando that X through I might like, same topic, opposite take on the subject.

Its like when Ron Johnson says he isn't going to bless the Big Beautiful Bill because it doesn't cut out enough pork. The bottom line is that asshole wants Trump to fail and for the taxes to crush the Producers who are critical to MAGA. He lies about his devotion to trimming the spending because he hasn't done a single damned thing in his entire Congressional career to limit the growth of government - but all of a sudden there is a moral imperative to increase the tax burden on the Producers and do nothing about spending.

This is why I have to get a lot more international news from YouTube these days.

Our media have practically abandoned international news unless it’s an issue that’s useful to their agenda.

When the India-Pakistan war started a few weeks ago YouTube threw up an Inidian channel called “Firstpost” which is hosted by a rather attractive Brahmin class Indian lady.

I had no idea about any of it, but in the past several days she’s laid out the story of the Baloch’s fighting a years long insurgency against the Pakistani government in order to declare independence.

This has been going on awhile, and now things are getting truly serious thanks to their leaders finally declaring independence officially.

195 (LifeSiteNews) — Actor Stanley Tucci is upset that Italy does not allow homosexual and gender-confused couples to adopt children.

“So much of the world is heading now to the very far right and sort of vilifying the other,” the 64-year-old Conclave actor told Sky News.

Tucci is the host of a new show titled Tucci in Italy, which explores Mediterranean cuisine. He told Sky News that he wanted to do a show on a gay couple and their children “because I thought it was a really interesting story,” but that is sad because Italian laws prohibit them from being recognized as a family.

He didn't actually refuse medical aid. The reason they were still on the scene and not enroute to the precinct is thst they were waiting on an ambulance, though, in my opinion, this makes his continuing to kneel on Floyd's back for over a minute after Floyd lost consciousness more egregious, as he knew that Floyd was in medical distress.

It doesn't make Chauvin guilty of murder, but, though Chauvin was no demon, he wasn't exactly an angel either.

248 Please pray for my friend M. Had her second chemo yesterday and the hospital almost couldn't do it because of something strange with her blood that they had never seen before.

Turns out they *mixed her blood up* with someone who had a "similar name".

Where the fuck are we, Zimbabwe??? Anyway she's ok they did the treatment after hours of fumbling. Please add her to your list should you be so inclined. She is a small fragile thing already and after all this she gets to lose both breasts.

One of the stupidest formulations for 'visibility' on these types of shows. How was your cooking technique and did the food taste good should be the only thing that matters. The shows probably got paid a bonus by some NGO to throw this kind of crap in, they are reading from the NGO written script.

250 >>Trump had another fantastic speech in Poland in summer of 2017 on Western Civ. Also almost zero coverage. It's as if the media doesn't want people to know what Trump really thinks about US's role in the world.

Trump definitely learned some lessons from his 1st term. Tulsi recently fired some longtime members of the NSC basically because they were deep state Trump haters. Brennan immediately went on MSNBC to say he was "livid" that these respected analysts were fired.

The moves Trump has made with DOGE and his cabinet members to gut the permanent bureaucracy are going to pay big dividends.

252 The homo/p3do thing is not really universal.

Once upon a time, "the gay community" wanted nothing at all to do with family or children. It was a purely hedonistic lifestyle. People with children were mocked as Breeders. Marriage was only desired as a kind of insurance fraud, which is what beards were for.

It almost seems like what we have now is a bunch of p3dos wearing gay-face, with old growth homos having been read out of the movement entirely.

254 It doesn't make Chauvin guilty of murder, but, though Chauvin was no demon, he wasn't exactly an angel either.

Both Floyd and Chauvin worked together at a local Hip Hop Bar as Bouncers. The Covid Shutdown is what killed Floyd.

256 Despite the fact that the autopsy determined George Floyd's death was due to an overdose of Fentanyl, the picture of Chauvin's knee on Floyd's neck, viewed in the wake of Floyd's death was more powerful than the coroner's report.

Amazing, isn't it? All those photos which clearly show that Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's shoulder but the media pushes one which appears to show it on the neck. And a narrative is born.

259 Remember it's the GOP who came out and lectured us that Trump just wasn't trusted to be conservative enough.

I don't care if *you* thought that at some point. Most of us probably did. But THEY knew otherwise and were taking advantage of regular people who maybe didn't really didn't trust him because of scum like THEM.

And how do you know they knew? Because as soon as he proved he's conservative "enough", they started finding other reasons to go against him. Still raising money off his name though. Cunts.

During the gay marriage debate the pro side latched onto ancient greece as an example of a culture where homosexuality was normal.

And that was true in some cities at some times. But it took two forms:

1) Sex slavery - defeated enemies could be reduced to slavery of any sort from working in the mines to providing sexual favors.

2) Eromenos - which was specifically sexual relations between an older man and a boy

That's also the point of the trans push. Genuinely gender-confused tweens in the past ended up as "old-growth homos", according to several studies which are now suppressed. That outcome doesn't help the Democrats, so they turn them into miserable activists instead.

It would. But I tend to be a pragmatist about wrongful convictions. I want to know if the conviction is wrongful and whether the guy is a piece of shit. For example, a gangbanger who isn't guilty of the murder of which he was convicted but is obviously a criminal who is better off the streets ... that doesn't move the needle much in terms of my sense of justice. I only want those convictions overturned for another reason: keeping the all-powerful, overreaching state honest. But that gangbanger's rights or humanity or whatever? Fuck 'em.

It was fun revisiting the show, as I haven't seen an actual episode in years. I stand in awe of Jason's performance as George, Julia's Elaine, and Michael's Kramer, and how Jerry let them all shine. They knew even early on, I suspect, that they were creating something special. In the book I read on Saturday Night Live, Julia was quoted as saying that working on SNL was often difficult, but by comparison, "Seinfeld was pure joy."

My local outlet is not showing them in order, though. The engagement episode was on first, and then they jumped to one from a later season, not the next in the same year.

It's curious. "It", being the sum total of all the collected data about you out there in other people's databases, surely already knows how old you are. It knows how tall you are. It knows how many times in the last ten years you've used the word "antimacassar", in speech and in text. They don't need an act or a law. They just need a subpoena.

My hunch is that if they're pushing this hard to get data "they" can already easily get, then it's because they actually want data, or something else, they don't already have.

THREE have passed both chambers.

In one sense, this is ideal. It's supposed to be really hard to pass legislation. We've already got too much on the proverbial books.

Imagine if all those 5,149 bills had passed?

How is this different from a child with anorexia who wants to "express" as a thin person? We should let them starve themselves to death, according to this judge.

This one was made back in the days when I was discovering new editing tricks everyday and when I could make an AMV within 2 weeks.

The main concept of this AMV was to put together as many crazy and random scenes as possible and to increase the level of madness by displaying 2, 3 or 4 of them simultaneously on the screen, picture in picture style. It’s not the most technical AMV but I think it aged pretty well.

Remind me again why the population goes through all the ritual, trouble and expense to have elected representatives who are tasked with writing laws and defining terms used in the laws?

If an unelected judge has the unchecked authority to define terms, set societal standards, invent "Rights" out of thin air, then stratify them to preclude other established Rights (e.g. parental authority), are we now light years away from a Constitutional Republic and have had an effective coup d'etat from these black robed tyrants?

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.

Legally Sufficient has the Ruler of Dread and is authorized to wield it was warranted. JQ has the key to the kegerator, wine cellar and liquor cabinet. She also has apple juice if you desire an alcohol-free ONT. Ciampino has the sock drawer but mostly needs to stay away from cats. tcn in AK has a telescope on the roof so make an orderly line if you want to look in to the heavens or just spy on the neighbors. Miklosbot will scan the perimeter for intruders.

The correct answer will be posted...later. Maybe next Wed.

Number 1: You're in a mansion with a lightbulb in the attic and three switches in the basement. It's late in the evening, and you're tired, so you can only go from the basement to the attic once. How do you figure out which switch controls the lightbulb?

Answer: Turn on the first switch and wait for 5 minutes. Then turn it off and turn on the second switch. Go to the attic. If the light is on, the second switch controls it. If the light is off, touch the bulb: if it's warm, the first switch is the correct one; if it's cold, the third switch controls the light.

Number 2: Two people ordered the same cocktail at a restaurant. They both drank it at different paces, but one person died while the other survived. How?

Answer: The cocktail contained poison in the ice. One person drank quickly before the ice melted, while the other waited, allowing the poison to spread.

Number 3: A man was pushing his car when he stopped in front of a hotel and knew immediately that he was bankrupt. How?

Answer: The man was playing Monopoly.

One of them was taking MAO inhibitors and the other was not.

(The riddle didn't specify that the cocktails were poisoned, so IMO my answer is valid.)

28 Last thing from me and then I'll go to bed while you guys keep the party going. My kids like to ask me riddles, but sadly for them, I have already heard most of them and can typically guess the others.

My youngest asked me one the other day, "What do you get when you cross a mole and a police dog?" I thought about it for a while and concluded, "A vermin shepherd." Apparently, the right answer was "a creature that wants to bring law and order to the underground." I think mine was better.

Meanwhile someone else has reported 'Ana' Vallens to the FBI. Vallens has done no favors to himself by posting such things as he has POCD* along with publishing all of his other sick kinks like having a Vore addiction.

This house has a switch that I though did nothing when I moved in. As part of a sanity move I was changing all sockets and switches so they'd be the same color and I figured out why that switch was there. The original owner had family that was in the house building business. They must have had a four gang box they could have for free rather than spending some money on a three gang. So that switch is there to occupy what would have been an extra hole in the faceplate.

You should never flip an unknown switch, it might do things. Last time we flipped one of those types of switches was in the 80's and we then we found out that the President had been shot, and we were all, "What, John Connally got himself shot AGAIN?"

They should have told you. If they’re older wood windows, it’s because lazy painters love to paint them shut. (If they opened the windows just a couple inches right after they painted it wouldn’t happen)

Having always lived in older houses with wood windows, I’ve gotten pretty good at getting them to work again.

We haven't had any terribly rude surprises, but our expectations are somewhat relaxed because the house is over a century old.

Since your house is 100 years old, it’s because the cords that go to the weights in the window frame have broken. You can replace them, you just have to take the window frame apart. I was doing that once and was horrified to find that once I pulled all the trim off and could see inside the frame, there was a huge paper hornets nest there that stretched all the up both sides and across the top!

166 On home inspections: Anyone I know who's bought a home has had nothing good to say about them. The home inspections are mandatory for a loan and most find a waste of money. They will never tear into a wall to check wiring/construction. They will hardly ever climb onto a roof. Even turning on a faucet seems to be beyond the ken of most.

I've got a feeling in the windows story above the inspector said, 'Windows? Check. Intact? Check. Next Item.'

168 We had a couple of mystery switches in our house. There's a random-looking switch on our bedroom wall. It doesn't activate any of the outlets. I texted the previous owner and learned that it controlled a yard light on that outside corner of the house. Yep.

There were other yard lights surrounding the patio that were on all of the time. I finally found a switch behind a large cupboard-type piece of furniture left by the previous owners that functioned like a pantry in the kitchen. I can barely squeeze my hand behind there to reach it.

Also, the porch light was ridiculously dim. It wasn't until after the lightswitch failed that I discovered that it had a dimmer function and was probably set at the lowest level.

It's an adventure getting to know a new house.

172 "Point Nemo, the loneliest and most remote expanse of ocean on Earth, is where spacecraft go when they die.

This spread of water has been used as a dumping ground for space vehicles since 1971. An estimated 263 decommissioned spacecraft, including the Russian space station Mir, have been deliberately brought down and sunk here.

Point Nemo, also called the Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility, is at coordinates 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W, according to the National Ocean Service. It's about 1,670 miles from the nearest land"


It can't be used as a de-orbit target area for spacecraft in orbits inclined less than 48 degrees, 52 minutes. All the stuff listed in the article that have been/will be dumped there were launched into approx. 51 degree orbits. That is the preferred Russian launch inclination out of Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. This is why Skylab wasn't targeted for Point Nemo - it was launched into a 28.5 degree inclination out of KSC. Target area was in a smaller dead zone in the Indian Ocean west of Australia and why some of its stuff that didn't completely burn
-up during entry impacted in Australia. Way back in 1979.

Our first house was like that. Fortunately, the person was so bad at performing repairs that nothing major had been touched.

Not a single door in the house would latch in any room that had been re-painted in the previous 10 years. The idiot worked very hard to install hardware incorrectly.

I think it took at least a few thousand dollars off of our buying price, so I was actually pretty happy with the deal.

I can attest to the fact that early cell phone usage and social media are net negatives on children in the current day and age.

We had parental controls on our kid phones. The kids found ways from friends/internet to hack our controls off.

214 Number 2: Two people ordered the same cocktail at a restaurant. They both drank it at different paces, but one person died while the other survived. How?

Answer: The cocktail contained poison in the ice. One person drank quickly before the ice melted, while the other waited, allowing the poison to spread.

I was going to say it's because only one was poisoned, which is a possibility since it doesn't say both cocktails were poisoned, just that they ordered the same cocktail.

Glow plugs are dead. Did a circuit of the yard to put a little charge in the battery, and then used it to pull the Zip van ahead about 25 feet so I could better work on it, and mow where it had sat.

And then I decided to see if the tractor could push over trees. Had a little copse of poplar growing out of a rotten wood pile. Trees were quite dead this year, no green, no buds at all. So I put the tractor in low gear, lowered the bucket to about 6 inches, and pushed. Three or four runs at it, and the trees are all uprooted, and on the ground. Chainsaw time, now.

The relationship ended two years ago. I doubt he is involved at all (beyond being the initial leaker). They both did "young person stupid things", and he was not Dad approved as a "good guy". But I don't think he would go the blackmail route.

We have a police meeting tomorrow. I will ask if they should just give him a call and question his knowledge of distribution of the photos.

I suppose it might be something as seemingly mundane, as he deleted the photos and turned his phone in for an upgrade, and the refurbishment guys in Malaysia pulled up the photos out of deleted memory and sold them to blackmailer types?

That is why I was asking if anyone from the Horde knew of any means to restrict distribution.

The good news is that I just tried to go to pornhub and search her name, but that site is blocked in my state. My wife said we had recent legislation that blocked a lot of the porn sites, so even if the pictures do get "out there", then nobody my daughter knows will see them, I hope.

Mine are the same. They've been falling apart since I was a kid. I believe there's a genetic component. Two of my Mom's brothers both ended up with dentures in their 30s, and my Mom got them in her 40s. I made it a little farther, so I've got that going for me, I guess.

At any rate, the remaining originals have got to go. There are so many missing and broken that I probably could floss with a piece of paracord.

First go around all the edges, where you see old paint between window and frame, both sides, with a box cutter. Then use a thin flat putty knife in the line you made with a box cutter and go all the way in all around. Then on the outside get something you can gently pry with and work back and forth under both corners. It’s a pain but that will usually get it free.

243 Skylab, the first and only all-American space station was launched May 14,1973, exactly 52 years ago, if midnight hasn’t passed in your time zone. The Soviets had launched their Salyut space station about two years earlier. When I was in college as an undergraduate in the late 1970s, one of my professors (not physics, but engineering - learned orbital mechanics from him) had been hired by NASA to predict where Skylab was to de-orbit. There had been proposals to boost its decaying orbit, but interest in space exploration was dying fast. Skylab’s orbit eventually decayed, and it disintegrated in the atmosphere on July 11, 1979, scattering debris across the Indian Ocean and Western Australia. Not sure now if my prof had called it or not - probably, he was certainly one of the world experts on orbital mechanics. He had come up as one of the assistants to Sikorsky in the early days of helicopters, so things that go round and round just came naturally to him, I suppose.

254 Double hung wood windows.

Paint stores once sold window spades - kind of a hardened but thin, heart shaped putty blade, with a pocked-abrasive surface to break free a painted-stuck sash.

Gently tapping a stiff putty knife with a hammer around the entire exterior sash-frame may work to free the window - if everything is completely dry and not moist. If the interior sash is painted over - possibly multiple coats? It's tricky and messy and likely to end chewing up the interior finish trim work - by the tools used to free the sash.

The old window spades are pretty aggressive little monsters. And then you'll need to reglaze some of the mullions.

263 Pillage,
Sorry about the legal issues. This is NOT a recommendation to get into the way of police but there are some Internet companies that deal with these issues and monitor when pix surface around the net. See what the police will do and then find a well regarded PI cyber service to contact. Be sure to be upfront about what outcome you desire and what your budget is.

But they can go to the isps and demand takedown of accounts with the pix, forward info to the cops, etc. And scan the web including the dark web for photos attached to her name etc. When they pop up elsewhere. Usually that part is automated.

The Whalers started out in the old WHA. The original GM and coach was a hockey legend named Jack Kelley. He had two sons, David and Mark. David Kelley is the Hollywood producer who has done a bunch of tv hit shows. Mark was a college friend and a great guy and became a scout for the Blackhawks. Good hockey player, better friend.

274 Big day at SCOTUS tomorrow

The days of rogue district court judges hijacking executive authority may finally be numbered.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in a consolidated case, Trump v. CASA, which challenges lower court rulings that blocked President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants.

Despite the constitutional authority granted to the executive branch on immigration matters, three district judges issued sweeping nationwide injunctions halting the order.

Mike Collins and Maria Langan-Riekhof...

If, like me, you're wondering who these two assholes are and what they did:

Collins was Acting Director of the National Intelligence Council, Langan was his Deputy. These two Shits were acting against the President of the United States by deliberately putting out false reports that contradicted the President's positions (namely, Venezuela). In other words, they were pulling the same shit the other "resistors" pulled in the first term.

We're more aware of the amateur crazies now - before they move up in class and get all the political class protection. But that's better. Because cats like Saul Alinsky would at least out themselves early now.

He runs the largest diocese in the world, area-wise, with the least population. He's on the road, or off the road, a hell of a lot of the time.

He's my favorite Bishop, he used to be pastor of the Cathedral in Anchorage before his appointment , and he's a great guy in general.

It wouldn't take much to be the EU's strongest army at this point. Because most of them are quite weak. It'd be like be the tallest short man.

Germany's entire welfare state, which it is in no way willing to abandon, can exist only because we have guaranteed its security for 80 years now. And even with that security guarantee, it is not financially robust enough to have both its welfare state and a serious military.

We haven't even talked about its neo-communist politics, green-energy obsession, soft native population, or muslim fifth column.

TL;DR: You gotta be jokin' me, bro.

A dangerous rearmed Germany is a fantasy worthy of Penthouse Forum.

Kitty's got claws.

Mother teaches little daughter to surf.

Dogs just want to help. Sometimes their help is actually helpful!

Golden retriever convention.

Activate the Monsterizer!


You'll never guess what's causing this traffic snarl.

Windswept doggie.

This Doberman pincher shames his ancestors.

Baby flamingo practices stomping.

Women takes dog out for a birthday dinner.

The growing beaver menace.

Dogs have secret relationship.

Border collies will not stop herding, ever.

Aw, a little dog sits in the shelter waiting to be adopted. (She got adopted.)

From shelter to forever home.

Little kid teaches a puppy.

When you're not home.

When your cats bully you.

A dog looks out for his co-dog.

The video features Palmer performing the song with an abstract "band", a group of female models whose pale skin, heavy makeup, dark hair, and seductive, rather mannequin-like expression follow the style of women in Patrick Nagel paintings.

The five models in the video are Julie Pankhurst (keyboard), Patty Kelly (guitar), Mak Gilchrist (bass guitar), Julia Bolino (guitar), and Kathy Davies (drums).

One of my favorites is laying a pat of butter in a pan, turning the heat on, immediately covering it with a small handful of shredded cheese, and then cracking an egg over the top of the pile. Salt and pepper it. Let it sit for what seems like too long (you want the cheese to brown) , flip it, and cook it for half the time again.

We moved here to Wyoming from South Carolina. We put our stuff in storage out there to avoid the high summer moving costs.

Anyways, our stuff was delivered this past Sunday. The mover is such a nice man. He had never been here in nowhere Wyoming and he said this is God's Country. He took many pictures.

218 For all of you horde not of Ca. Those Wisteria flowers remind me about the absolute largest single Wisteria vine which happens to be down the road from me and is the Sierra Madre Wisteria. The vine was planted in 1894 by Mrs. William (Alice) Brugman. Brugman purchased the vine from the old Wilson nursery, in Monrovia, for seventy-five cents in a 1-gallon bucket.

Today This single wisteria vine covers over an acre with lots of wooden bracings underneath that you can walk under. The Wistaria Vine has over 1.5 million blossoms and weighs over 250 tons and is a popular tourist spot in the early spring when the flowers bloom.

Trump Launches Civil Rights Probe Into Harvard's Defiant Continuation of Racially-Discriminatory Hiring Practices; Also Chops Funding by Almost a Half Billion Dollars

Harvard is violating the clear law as announced by the Supreme Court -- racial discrimination in hiring or admissions is illegal, even if you're discriminating against one of the Dirty Races like whites, Asians, or Jews.

But they will plead in court: "Democrat."

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Administration Launches Civil Rights Probe of Harvard's Hiring Practices

EEOC investigation follows school's statement that it had increased the number of 'women, non-binary, and/or people of color' on its faculty.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is investigating whether Harvard University unlawfully hires faculty based on race and sex, arguing that the school's own data provides evidence of discrimination. The probe is the latest federal action against the beleaguered university, which last month sued the Trump administration over its decision to freeze more than $2 billion in aid to the Ivy League school.

In a document initiating the investigation, the EEOC cited materials on Harvard's website--many of them now deleted--in which the school bragged about increasing the number of "women, non-binary, and/or people of color" on the faculty. The largest increase was in the share of non-white tenure-track faculty, which rose by 37 percent between 2013 and 2023.

The majority of those new hires, Harvard noted in a 2023 report, had been made in the past year.

White men, meanwhile, decreased dramatically as a share of tenure-track faculty, dropping from 46 percent in 2013 to 32 percent in 2023. Every other demographic for which Harvard collects data, including white women, rose over the same period.

The EEOC probe, launched on April 25, has not been previously reported. It comes as Harvard is fending off investigations from at least five other government agencies, part of the Trump administration's effort to crack down on anti-Semitism and racial preferences on college campuses.

The statistics cited in Harvard's own reports could be evidence of a "pattern or practice of discrimination," acting EEOC commissioner Andrea Lucas wrote in the document, known as a commissioner charge. The agency also cited a bevy of fellowships and training programs that only accept non-white applicants, such as a Harvard Medical School internship for "underrepresented minority (URM)" students.

"Harvard may have violated and may be continuing to violate Title VII by engaging in a pattern or practice of disparate treatment against white, Asian, male, or straight employees, applicants, and training program participants," Lucas wrote. "The aggrieved individuals include all employees, former employees, prospective employees, and current and prospective training program applicants and participants who are white, Asian, male, non-black, non-Native American, or straight."

Harvard did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump also chopped federal funding for this scumbag racist institution by $450 million. On top of the previous cuts.


The Trump administration announced Tuesday it was canceling another $450 million in grants to Harvard University after the Ivy League school "repeatedly failed" to quell race discrimination and antisemitism on campus.

"There is a dark problem on Harvard's campus, and by prioritizing appeasement over accountability, institutional leaders have forfeited the school's claim to taxpayer support," members of Trump's Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism said in a statement.

"Harvard, and its leadership group who are tainted by the egregious infractions under its watch, faces a steep, uphill battle to reclaim its legacy as a lawful institution and center of academic excellence."

The cuts are coming from at least eight different federal agencies, and are taking place after the task force -- which comprises the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services as well as the General Services Administration -- terminated $2.2 billion in grants last week.

Reps for Harvard University declined to comment but directed The Post to an amended complaint filed Tuesday in its lawsuit against the Trump administration's funding freeze.

"The Government's actions flout not just the First Amendment, but also federal laws and regulations," reads the revised suit filed by attorney Steven Lehotsky of the law firm Lehotsky Keller Cohn.

Because Democrats love taxes so much, Republicans are taking them at their word and proposing a five-fold increase of the tax on fake universities' multibillion dollar endowments.

House Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee released the full version of a long-awaited tax bill Monday that does for higher ed exactly what they suggested it would in a draft version Friday: dramatically increase the excise tax on wealthy colleges' endowments.

If the legislation passes, the tax rate for each institution would range from 1.4 to 21 percent, depending on the size of its endowment and the number of students it enrolls, according to the 339-page bill. As with the existing endowment tax, the increases would apply only to private institutions.

"Under the economic policies of President Biden and Washington Democrats, the wealthy and well-connected benefitted from taxpayer handouts," said committee chairman Jason Smith, a Republican from Missouri. "The Ways and Means Republican tax bill ends special interest giveaways and will hold the woke elite and entities that benefit from the tax code accountable."

Trump tried to work with the establishment in his first term. He wanted to get along.

They repaid his efforts to build bridges by demonizing him, almost completely destroying his first term with a years-long investigation into completely fabricated charges of being a RUSSIAN AGENT, and attempted to imprison him for the rest of his life.

What happens to them now is on them.

Trump is winning the Political War...

But Judges are throwing out the actual Law, to stop him... case in point.

The Constitution itself says you can suspend Habeus Corpus in time of War OR Invasion.

The Commander in Chief, has declared by Executive Order that the border crises is an Invasion.

The Courts are just ignoring this... even though during Covid the Supremes stated it was not the Courts job to interfere during a National Emergency... which Trump HAS declared.

58 "White men, meanwhile, decreased dramatically as a share of tenure-track faculty, dropping from 46 percent in 2013 to 32 percent in 2023. Every other demographic for which Harvard collects data, including white women, rose over the same period."

And not because "White Men" are inferior, they are superior. They outperform due to testosterone and their cultural upbringing, and (superior?) genetics.

So they have to be discriminated against, and "Diversity is Our Strength" fake religion is the tactic to destroy them .. and America, and the (Christian) West in general.

69 TheDailyBeast: Pete Buttigieg Says He Is Considering a 2028 Presidential Run...added that his children, 4-year-old twins Gus and Penelope, also factor into his decision-making, telling Giridharadas, “Having kids can motivate you to run, but it can also motivate you to spend more time at home.”

Imagine, a smart president again! I will take Pete Buttigieg and Jasmine Crockett... wow, that would be a team

His quick mind and intelligence could make him the nominee. It would also expose our most vital principles and platform to GOP attacks, as well as to voters. Gay and married is not tolerable to a lot of the electorate, just look at trans backlash.

Sadly, unless something significant changes at the DNC, the 2028 nominee will be a straight white male not named Shapiro or Newsom.

Sadly, his personal life is problematic to a lot of voters. I would certainly vote for Pete, but it seems more likely to me that he'd win a senatorial election instead. Michigan has a seat open! That would also put to rest any talk that he's never won a big election.

I wished we lived in a country where a gay man or a woman could get elected.

You mean like a sudden economic crises, created by the Gov and Banks, that affected that Banks?

The 'crises' was created because the Treasury Dept changed their rules about what could be considered reserves, by no longer allowing 'Funds' full of mortgages as reserve (because of potential defaults)... now.. these NEVER SHOULD HAVE been used as reserves... and a slow movement away from them would have been sufficient, but instead they declared a CRISES!!!!!

Instead, the crises was used for Political change, and they then used the Power of Government to consolidate the banking industry, into fewer larger banks.

133 "There is a dark problem on Harvard's campus, and by prioritizing appeasement over accountability, institutional leaders have forfeited the school's claim to taxpayer support," members of Trump's Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism said in a statement.

And look who is defending the Anti-Semitism:

"The Government's actions flout not just the First Amendment, but also federal laws and regulations," reads the revised suit filed by attorney Steven Lehotsky of the law firm Lehotsky Keller Cohn.

I *hate* that term. There is indeed no such thing. There's bigotry. There's racial hatred. Racism may actually be a thing. But there's no "reverse."

The "reverse racism" concept is a linguistic trick, a despicable one. For it to be "reverse" racism for non-whites to hate whites, that means that the "natural state" of affairs is white racial hatred for non-whites and therefore its opposite is an aberration. The whites have the original sin of racial hatred and the non-whites merely respond in an aberrant way.

Tariffs Bring In $16 Billion in April, Cutting Into the Deficit

The media loves increasing tax revenues, except when they might benefit a Republican.



Customs duties totaled $16.3 billion for the month, some 86% above the $8.75 billion collected during March and more than double the $7.1 billion a year ago.

The fiscal year-to-date deficit fell to $1.05 trillion, which is still 13% higher than a year ago.


Receipts from U.S. tariffs hit a record level in April as revenue from President Donald Trump's trade war started kicking in.

Customs duties totaled $16.3 billion for the month, some 86% above the $8.75 billion collected during March and more than double the $7.1 billion a year ago, the Treasury Department reported Monday.

That brought the year-to-date total for the duties up to $63.3 billion and more than 18% ahead of the same period in 2024. Trump instituted 10% across-the-board tariffs on U.S. imports starting April 2, which came on top of other select duties he had leveled previously.

While the U.S. is still running a massive budget deficit, the influx in tariffs helped shave some of the imbalance for April, a month in which the Treasury generally runs a surplus because of the income tax filing deadline hitting mid-month.

While the media scrambles to portray Trump's economy negatively, they stood by as Biden's economic spinners lied about job growth under Biden.


The Biden administration's phony jobs boom just went up in smoke. For months, it paraded numbers around like everything was fine, telling Americans the economy was roaring back, that job creation was on fire, and that "Bidenomics" was working. But the truth, long suspected by anyone trying to pay the bills, is now confirmed by the government's own data: those jobs never existed.

According to new figures released this week, the 399,000 jobs the Biden team claimed were created between July and September of last year have completely vanished. Not only did the economy not add those jobs, but it also lost 1,000 private-sector jobs during that period.

...

Nearly 400,000 phantom jobs were quietly wiped off the books. And this isn't just a one-time discrepancy. Month after month during Joe Biden's term, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) published inflated job estimates, only to revise them downward later, long after the headlines had already done their PR damage for the White House.


Antoni breaks it down further: "Under Biden, these revisions were abnormal in magnitude and direction, being revised down with unusual frequency." No kidding. In fact, the BLS's more comprehensive annual benchmark, released earlier this year, revised down Biden's job numbers from March 2023 to March 2024 by a jaw-dropping 598,000 jobs.


That's not just bad math; that's deception on a national scale.

Now that the Trump Economy is starting to roar again, the media is writing stories about why these good things aren't really good things, Bigot.

A big contributor to the falling inflation rate was, get this, a big fall in US gas prices.

The media needs you to know that low gas prices are bad, Racists.

I saw another headline, I think from CNN, that said that US cars hadn't seen any uptick in prices, despite Trump's tariffs. The headline continued, "...and that's not necessarily a good thing."

Fuck you.

13 I gotta give Trump credit for this, I have always thought we could do more with tariffs, especially to even things out, but he has opened my eyes to how well a careful and smart use of the policy can be such a huge revenue generator, allowing the government to reduce other sources like taxes.

And when tariffs drive prices up on some goods... that is more or less a progressive tax like a sales tax: rich people will pay more. And because its only on some goods, everyone has choices how they want to approach how they buy and what they skip or do not.

AND it increases manufacturing in the USA.

56 Aaahh. The vampire defense.

Serial killer tries to dodge lethal injection with ‘vampire defense’
. . .
Rogers’ attorneys have claimed he suffers from porphyria — a rare disease linked to vampire legends — and argued lethal injection could cause him extreme suffering.
. . . .
What is porphyria?
Porphyria is a genetic condition that causes problems in the blood, skin and nervous system. The condition is caused by a buildup of hemoglobin proteins in red blood cells. There are two types of porphyria: acute porphyria and cutaneous porphyria. Symptoms vary based on the type of porphyria, but can include:
Severe pain in the stomach, chest, legs or back
Muscle pain, tingling, numbness, weakness
Breathing problems
Seizures
Itching
Blisters on exposed skin

-

57 The NYT was whining today that they see no evidence "in the data" of their longed-for Trump Recession. Also, since inflation is receding in the most recent numbers, that obviously means the tariff caused uptick is coming "next month" or maybe the month after that, or maybe fourth quarter.

58 The next time you see Commie Congresscritters screeching about "working families", ask why their names aren't on the list of cosponsors for the "No Tax on Tips Act".

To be fair, there are a few (VERY few) D cosponsors.

Obviously waiters and barmaids are among the "billionaires" that they claim will be the only beneficiaries of Trump's tax cuts..

Of course, the truth is that they're not for "working families" at all. They're for illegal aliens and other grifters.

You have to really wonder why they still choose at this point to do this. One scary version is at some point they will retake power by whatever means necessary and force their agenda down the citizens throats by any and all means necessary. Our founders and framers knew that liberty was a very fragile thing. I truly believe if Democrats grab the reins of our government again, they will try to ensure we never rise up against them again.

61 I am in favor of what the tariffs aim to effect, i.e. the return of much of the manufacturing jobs and industries to America. But there will be an initial cost in this long game, and that cost is this tariff money that the government received. Keep in mind every single dime of it was paid by the Importer, an American company and it will get passed on to the US consumer, NOT by any foreign companies. Yes, in time it will reduce the demand for the foreign goods and lots of other good stuff, but right now every single dime is paid for by Americans. It is an import tax. Yes, the design is to make us import less, absolutely. But that's down the (hopefully short) road.

I think the country splinters if that happens. Basically economics from prior debt will implode the national government if the Dems take over again.

And identity politics is simply a means where your skin and sex becomes your uniform in a civil war.

Marxism took its best shot and now is failing across the globe because it simply does not work in practice and neo Marxist identity politics likewise prevents the formation of a solid cohesive bloc like in Soviet Russia or China that allowed those countries to continue being Marxist until they go broke from internal contradictions.

They can still cause a lot of damage but their decadent antics in public simply make them lunatics to be made fun of. Lunatics by definition are not cool and thus repellent to yutes.

150 And when tariffs drive prices up on some goods... that is more or less a progressive tax like a sales tax: rich people will pay more. And because its only on some goods, everyone has choices how they want to approach how they buy and what they skip or do not.

AND it increases manufacturing in the USA.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 14, 2025 05:27 PM (2VST1)


I had a short discussion from a young kid about tariffs the other day, he dislikes them but he seemed to dislike them most because of all the changes in the economy causing unpredictable problems. Too many disruptions at one time and he was worried about a collapse or worse.
He did not consider the possibility of the tariffs replacing taxes to be a valid argument, probably because "taxes only go up"
I will have some time to talk with him later, hopefully it will be quieter and we can actually talk.

Posted by: Mr. Bingley

In practice, not so much. You might want to try discarding standard university texts on such matters as they are a source of great error on macroeconomics.

In truth, it depends--in some nations, like China, they actually subsidize their products in order to ship them out the door. And thus, like in the first Trump term, literally eat the increased tariffs as a cost while the price to the US stays the same.

Somewhere like France, however, would probably face decreased sales from increased prices and might choose to export elsewhere or raise prices.

Then you have firms deciding whether or not to produce domestically, tariffs tend to encourage them to produce which may or may not result in price increases depending on how much labor versus capital is used in the production of the good.

The way that tariffs play out is not found in most economic texts because the overwhelming tide was globalization. Texts earlier than the 1930's are required to understand them in practice.

Posted by: mrp

Thus price of skilled labor goes up and encourages entry. We would have been far better off circa 2000 denying endless waves of H1B coolie labor in tech than in encouraging our own citizens from it. Instead, any citizen that went into it and invested in a career in tech was shunted aside for cheap labor from abroad. Ditto in college STEM programs in grad school.

The reason why our universities are full of Indian and Chinese students in STEM is NOT because we do not have enough people with smarts to do it. It is because the imports are cheap coolie labor force for grantees and Americans would want living wages and benefits instead of endless post docs.

Our universities are essentially wankers no less than Big Tech is. And DEI was in part designed to cover up that shit. They could focus on bringing in cheap talent from overseas instead of helping to fix our own damn science and math education in K12 so that natives would qualify.

-------------
They didn't used to be. So long as any subject they spoke of was tethered to supply and demand curves, the texts were spot-on. But just like politicians, the moment the texts began to pretend supply and demand curves could be safely ignored was when econ textbooks became romance novels rather than scientific in nature.

Part of the problem is that the USD is the world reserve currency, so the world wants dollars to trade amongst themselves more than they want US manufactured products, so we are at a disadvantage.
Also, because it is a world reserve currency and we have lots of it here, interest rates are low (because supply and demand works for money - especially for money) so banks are really eager to loan it out at easy rates. This seems like a good thing, but it makes private equity a better deal to borrow money to buy up companies that can be stripped of assets, and then parted out and sold off because it is a better deal to pay interest to make a lot of fast money than work for a living and earn . . . A living

I looked into that quite a bit a while back and came away with the conclusion that their had been a silent civil war inside the Saudi Royal Family, with one side supporting Bin Laden in an attempt to anger America and stop us from supporting the King at the time; at which point the other side thought they could take over. (the oil wealth is always the prize) The reason that I believe America has been OK leaving this unexplored is that MBS and his father, King Salman, were the side *opposing* those who backed Bin Laden, and eventually defeated them. Over the next few years, as MBS (the Crown Prince) came into his own, there were quite a few "unusual" deaths and disappearances of their enemies, including some important members of the Royal Family. They were people who needed killing.

Boeing fired all its engineers a while ago to save money with offshore programmers and consultants for new techniques that have little to do with "having the plane not fall out of the sky"

49 South Africans Are Afforded Refugee Status to Flee the Government That Openly Chants "Kill the Boer" (White Afrikaans), and the Left Freaks Out

We've allowed in millions of third world immigrants who make fraudulent asylum claims about persecution -- Kilmar Abrego-Garcia admitted he was MS-13, but said he feared persecution from a rival gang.

But the moment the asylum laws are used by white people, the left says they want to build the wall ten feet higher.



A group of 49 white South Africans--mostly Afrikaner families--arrived in the U.S. Monday under a new Trump administration refugee program aimed at protecting them from racial discrimination in South Africa. The White House says this is the first step in a larger relocation effort to assist a population it claims is being persecuted by South Africa's black-led government.

Key Details:

The group arrived at Dulles International Airport after departing Johannesburg on a privately chartered flight.

President Trump issued an executive order in February prioritizing Afrikaners for refugee status, citing "race-based persecution."

The South African government denies any systemic discrimination, calling the claims "completely false."

It should be kept in mind that the US pressured South Africa to grant full political control to black South Africans. In other words, we contributed to this rolling genocide.

But lefties are cheering on the genocide and trying to keep the "Boers" in South Africa so they can be murdered.

Post
Conversation
Western Lensman
@WesternLensman
🚨Scott Jennings takes on Ashley Allison on CNN over a small group of South Africans being allowed into the US --

-- this really gets to the heart of the left's animosity and rage towards these refugees:

JENNINGS: The same people angriest about this had no problem with 20 million illegals coming here including gang members.

I don't have sympathy for the people outraged about this after the last several years, over 50 South Africans who are clearly being discriminated against.

ALLISON: The US has yet to have a "racial reconciliation" like SA has. (!?) If the white South Africans don't like the current system in SA, they can just get out of Africa and return to their 'home' countries (Europe), not the US.

They are being given special treatment in the US because they are white. If they are allowed in the US, why isn't every refugee from Congo or the Sudan.

They just don't like the "law of the land" in SA so they don't deserve refugee status.

-----

There it is.

After years of open borders and millions of unvetted illegals entering from all over the world, the left finally found a group of people that were allowed into the country that truly enrages them:

A handful of fully vetted, legal, white South African families.

I really enjoy the super-well-informed black racist who says they should go back "to Germany." Their families emigrated from the Netherlands, not Germany, and they did so ages ago, some back in the 1600s.

Netherlands, Germany -- who cares. Just White People Countries, amirite.


Hey, if the rule is "Everyone has to leave and go back to their ancestor's countries of origin," I'm willing to sign up for that.

Is that the rule the immigrant-heavy left really wants?

Because we can make that happen if you do.

Matt Walsh
@MattWalshBlog

Remember, folks. White South Africans don't belong in South Africa even after 400 years. White Americans are invaders in America even after 500 years. But the third world illegal migrant who got here last Tuesday is just as American as anyone else and if you call him an invader you're racist.

At this point, the whites are more indigenous than most of the blacks, but that is not the issue, the issue are the numbers and that "great leader mandella" was a marxist commie and this is what he did -- destroyed a nation.

130 >> The bantu / zulu are not indigenous. Most of them moved there due to the wealth brought on by the whites, and to kill the indigenous koi koi / san peoples.

None of that matters. Nations are not built on what is fair, borders are not set based on who was there first. Those things only matter when you have an established nation with European-style property rights and rule of law.

The bantu are taking South Africa. They didn’t build it, but that does not matter. The Boers are abandoning the lands of their grandfathers with very little fight.

And our government has been enabling it every step of the way, from forcing South Africa to accept black rule to giving asylum to those Boers who turn tail and run.

"Harry Morant: Like this? Well, no sir, it wasn't quite like this. No-no. No, sir, it wasn't quite so handsome. And as for rules, we didn't carry military manuals around with us.

My physical therapist in Virginia was from SA. His parents fled Germany during the 30's and went to SA, starting a farm. He and his family left when their farm was burned to the ground - they managed to escape, but only just. Swastikas were drawn on the things that remained. This was probably 30 years ago.

There was also an influx of Huguenots from France... as well as a bunch of Brits Ex Pats from the various times they ran the country.

Then, there were a LOT of Indonesian Slaves imported, as the original settlers did not want to piss of the Local Tribes... with a LOT of mix breeding...

266 Well I guess things could be worse..

We have a crazy neighbour with cat traps. Hard to blame him. There were a lot of cats around.

Trumpy was gone in April.
Snowflake this week.

They weren't my cats. They lived here for awhile. I tried to make them indoor cats but in Canadian winter, minus 17 Celcius they still wanted to go out.

After Mom died in January, we fell into a system where Snowflake and Trumpy would come inside about 11am, sleep until 5 or 6pm and I'd put them out. That amused me. They are not my cats. I'd pay for flea protection but nothing else. But still cats coming in, sleeping for hours, going out. That's funny.

They were outdoor cats. I already hardened my heart. I did my best for them. They are beautiful cats. I'm sure people are taking care of them.

Tough year. Mom died in January, Uncle Leonard in February, my computer and Microsoft account in March, Trumpy in April, Snowflake now.

And our rescue dog Ralphy is limping like anything despite the meds. Dude is getting meat from now on. Screw it. I don't know how much longer he has.

I have a 12 pack. I'm going to watch stupid crap, be depressed today and start being amazing soon.

Britain has been toying with the notion of seizing farmer's lands through excessive taxation because those "rich white folks" don't deserve to have their farm lands, and in the Netherlands they took farmer land to build housing for their muslim invaders.

273 >>I asked him if he's ever planning on going back and his reply was something to the effect of "Are you out of your fucking mind, mate?"

I did business in South Africa for a number of years ending about 10 years ago. Even then, many whites who could afford it lived essentially behind guarded walls.

My customer was run by two partners. One day one of the partners wives told her husband that he was welcome to stay but she was taking the kids and moving to Australia. It was no longer safe for the kids. And this was over 10 years ago. It's much worse now. It's basically a low intensity war zone with the government backing the black population committing violence against whites. You'd have to be a fucking idiot to stay if you had a family.

Most of the territory now within the border of the nation of "South Africa" was ENTIRELY DEPOPULATED when the Europeans first arrived. The Portuguese (first) and then later the Dutch encountered a few roving bands of nomadic herdsmen, now known as "Khoisan" (who aren't even black, btw, but an entirely separate race unto themselves, unrelated to sub-Saharan Africans) in a small part of the landscape -- but the rest of it was vast unpopulated, unclaimed territiory. "Blacks" only started moving in later to take advanatage of economic opportunities there.

Comanches could never produce repeating rifles or even the Walker Colt etc. that eventually doomed them.

Savagery for savagery's sake eventually produces in the enemy a desire to wipe the savages out to the extent of forcing a cultural change on them.

352 There were savage wars between the NE settlers and the Indians pretty early in the settlement age. They eventually lost too. Even in that age of stockaded settlements, a few cannon and primitive firearms it was inexorable. The colonists could retire to the fortified coast areas and recover if they got a reverse. The Indians once chased out of a settlement could rarely recover that land, and their resources wasted away.

Historically the West has become entranced with the idiotic notion of the noble savage by romanticizing them and their actual societies.

In truth, Native Americans were never 'noble' as a society before the white man came and acted no better than and frequently worse than the supposed White Christian "oppressors."

Even their civilizations in places like Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas were violent cruel places more fit for Mesopotamia during the Iron Age than Western European Civilization.

They were pretty brutal in their own tribes too. If you dig around to original sources back in the 1700 to 1800's, there is some eye opening stuff there.

Basically no better or worse than New Guinean tribes. Christianity is the positive change that savages need in order to leave that behind. That is the source of true enlightenment instead of the nauseating evil Marxism trope of oppressed and oppressor.

The sermonizing on the virtue of the primitive ended once the swords came out. The Romans were wiser than us. A tribe of Gaullish mercs even took Rome in 300 or so BC. The leader took a ransom of gold by weight. As the Romans counted out the gold, they complained the weights for the scale were too large. The Gaul threw his sword on the balance, saying Vae Victis! "Woe to the Conquered" or more freely, Sucks to be YOU". They paid.

I would think the government could then void the contract, find them in breech, and claw back all the millions (billions) they've already raked in.

Stopping the bad future spending of ther government is once thing, but I want to see those who took part in the fraud over the last 4 years, to start feeling actual pain, and going poor os one way that would be hilarious.

That’s illegal. It’s theft. You’re not allowed to do that. There are another million people who are collecting both under Obamacare and Medicaid.
There are another million illegal aliens. We announced a rule yesterday: we’re not going to pay illegal aliens anymore. And guess what Gavin Newsom did this morning? He said, “We’re going to take all the illegal aliens off the California Medicaid rolls because the feds aren’t paying for them anymore.” So much for compassion.

UK PM Keir Starmer Makes Empty Promise to Reduce Immigration

Many people headlined this story "Keir Starmer commits racist hate-crime" because Keir Starmer will send his Orewellian enforcers to arrest you for expressing the same feelings about immigration that he now claims to feel.

Starmer has been attempting to exploit the Conservatives' weakness on this issue for some time. Yes, the UK "Conservatives" are in favor of the EU and also in favor of uncontrolled, never-ending immigration. That's why they were turned out of power last year, and that's why Reform stole 2/3rds of their vote in the recent council elections.

Back in December 2024, I posted about Starmer blaming immigration on the Conservatives.

The leftwing Starmer is every bit as pro-uncontrolled-immigration as the Tories... but it was the Tories who actually allowed uncontrolled immigration for ten years.

'This happened by design, not accident. Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalise immigration. Brexit was used for that purpose, to turn Britain into a one nation experiment in open borders.'

Astonishing attack on the Conservative Party from Prime Minister Keir Starmer pic.twitter.com/m5F1CoP42g

-- Sir Walter Raleigh (@NxlAnglo) November 28, 2024


Now Starmer is decrying a "failed experiment in open borders."

Again, it is 100% true that anyone who is not a high-ranking leftwing government official would be arrested for saying this.

But Starmer is worried about his grasp on power, so he's decided he's permitted some racist hate-speech.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced tighter British immigration rules, declaring an end to what he called a "squalid chapter" and a "failed experiment in open borders."

In a speech Monday, Starmer vowed to "take back control" with new rules that make it harder to obtain work, family and student visas to the United Kingdom. Migrant rights advocates criticized his wording as being more typical of the far right than of his center-left Labour Party.

"The damage [immigration] has done to our country is incalculable," the prime minister wrote in a policy paper.

Starmer said the changes, which still need Parliament's approval, are needed to maintain social cohesion, drive investment in the local workforce and prevent Britain from becoming "an island of strangers."

An island of strangers?

You're saying that tens of thousands of illegal aliens aren't family members, but "strangers"?

This is obviously true but Starmer will send his cops to arrest you if you suggest this.


His proposals come less than two weeks after the far-right anti-immigration Reform U.K. Party, led by Nigel Farage -- a confidant of President Trump -- made big gains in some local and municipal elections across England.

Data shows net migration to the U.K. has more than tripled in the past decade. Indians are the largest recipients of U.K. visas. And in recent months, Americans have been applying for British citizenship in record numbers.

Experts say the changes aim to reverse an unexpected spike in immigration after Britain left the European Union.

"After Brexit, a new immigration system came in under the previous [Conservative] government that was surprisingly liberal, and there was a big and unexpected increase in migration to the U.K.," says Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford. "When they saw how big the numbers were, they started to roll back some of those liberalizations and made some restrictions."

"The current government is keeping those existing restrictions and rolling back the liberalizations, taking us back to a system that's broadly similar to what we had for non-EU citizens before the U.K. left the EU," she says.

...

Polls show most Britons want their government to do more to fight illegal types of migration, especially smugglers carrying people to England in small boats across the channel from France.

...

In a statement emailed to NPR, Steve Smith, CEO of Care4Calais, a charity that works with migrants and refugees, called Starmer's language "dangerous."

"Shameful language like this will only inflame the fire of the far-right and risks further race riots that endanger survivors of horrors such as war, torture and modern slavery," Smith wrote. "Starmer must apologize."

One of Starmer's own Labour members of Parliament, Nadia Whittome, wrote on social media that the prime minister's language "mimics the scaremongering of the far-right."


Another left-wing lawmaker, Zarah Sultana, questioned whether Starmer's speech had actually been written by far-right lawmaker Farage.

And another former Starmer colleague, parliamentarian John McDonnell, compared the prime minister's "island of strangers" reference to the "divisive language of Enoch Powell." Powell was a Conservative member of Parliament who made an infamous 1968 speech that's widely considered one of the most racist and incendiary in modern British history.

Remember when I said you'd be arrested for that in the UK?

I wasn't just lying like Jake Tapper. A former cop was just arrested for questioning the rise of antisemitism in the UK -- I think he may have suggested that the rise was due to New Diverse Arrivals -- and was arrested for having "Brexity books" in his house.

@Artemisfornow

May 10

FREE SPEECH - A retired special constable was arrested for a post on X about the rise of Anti Semitism.

The police searching his house considered his reading material, including books by Douglas Murray as "a bit Brexity"

Arrested for what? Just questioning the narrative

Meanwhile: Diversity is our strength.


A group of young men stormed the Montfavet church in Avignon on Saturday evening, shouting, "Allahu Akbar" and threatening to burn the church down -- an act of intimidation that forced police to guard the building during Sunday's morning Mass.

The incident occurred shortly after 7:30 p.m., just as the evening Mass had ended. According to Fr. Laurent Milan, the parish priest, the confrontation began when a teenage boy arrived at the church claiming he wanted to convert. Soon after, around 10 others followed, some stating they were Muslims and asking to come inside.

According to reports by La Provence, the group quickly turned aggressive. "One of them began running around. They gathered around the priest and started hurling insults. It was chaos. We struggled to get them out," one parishioner told the French news outlet.

According to Fr. Milan, the young men hurled explicit insults targeting Christianity and made repeated threats. "They didn't insult me directly, but they shouted things like, 'Jesus, we're f***ing you,'" he said. "They were shouting 'Allahu Akbar,' and told us several times, 'We're going to come back and burn your church.'"

The priest filed a police complaint that same night, and five witnesses are understood to have already spoken to law enforcement. A police source confirmed an investigation is underway for "non-public insults because of religion" and "threats of dangerous destruction to persons."

As of Sunday, no arrests had been made, while worshippers arriving for the day's morning service were met with patrol cars and visible security.

According to Fr. Milan, the church has seen a spike in anti-social and threatening behavior in recent weeks. Just days earlier, on May 7, another group of youths disrupted a parish meeting by shouting and banging on the windows.

"We've had a computer stolen, candles taken," he said. "Some even throw their ball against the church walls during Mass, deliberately trying to disrupt us."

"This isn't just disrespect," Fr. Milan added. "This is a threat, and it's not the first."

29 Now Starmer is decrying a "failed experiment in open borders."

Their real problems started in the 1990s under Blair.
He really got the ball rolling with the whole Multiculturalism crusade that half of Europe went on during the same time.

They've had high immigration from other Commonwealth nations since the 1950s.

Enoch Powell was warning them back in the 1960s, especially with his "Rivers of Blood" speech, decrying the effects that immigration from totally different cultures was going to alter England's native culture forever and eventually lead to civil war.

Starmer himself echoed some of Powell's exact warnings of "strangers in their own country," in his latest speech with this line: "Without controlled migration, we risk becoming an island of strangers."

He's taking some flack right now especially for that line.

Their main problem now is the absolutely uncontrolled amount of illegal immigration coming across the Channel in small boats.

Nobody but Farage has even hinted at ending the problems.
He's proposing a Minister for Deportation in his cabinet.

That alone is probably getting him millions of votes.

You know who is financially backing a great deal of this illegal immigration? Our countries enemies, who I guess are Democrats new best friends.

Second issue, which is demonstrably true. Biden and Democrats illegal also allowed countless numbers of hostile foreign actors into the country. They’ve been caught conducting surveillance of our military facilities, critical infrastructure, key personnel and their families, even taking GPS/geolocation readings. Other intel hostiles came across just to plant themselves in our society for future ops. Nobody knows where these people are, who they are or what they’re up to because, Biden and Democrats let them in no questions asked.

Police are also looking at a car fire which took place on Thursday on the same street as the Kentish Town property. It is understood that the car used to belong to Sir Keir.

59 Daughter-in-law and I are researching our ancestry. We've discovered my family are descended from Sir Walter Raleigh.



My wife did the ancestry/genealogy thing as well. She found out she has descendants that were both slaves and slave owners.

Not uncommon. The whole indentured servant regime was that the servants would serve out their term, get an amount of agreed-up land, and then hire indentured servants of their own. The system broke down as the regime moved to slavery rather than IS, but there were some slaves who got their freedom, some land, and then became slave owners themselves.

Remember the movie Amistad? Based on a true story. What they didn't tell you is that the main slave characters (including Djimon's character) eventually went back to Africa and ... became slavers themselves.

Islam being a fully realized male-based society (with women effectively excluded) means that you attract a shitskin society. Women have also been known to moderate male impulses, and in Islam, that moderation doesn't exist. There is no thought that men and women have separate but equal roles in the religion, marriages, or the societies. Men have important and superior roles always.

Islam isn't good, but that's not really the point.

If you took a bunch of white, Canadian oil workers that were secular and converted them to Islam, they wouldn't all quit their jobs suck off the welfare state and set up child-grooming gangs.

If you took a bunch of secular Japanese people and converted them to Islam, they wouldn't become layabouts and throw their trash in the streets and shit in public.

It's not the religion, though the religion is a false, demonic one.

Open borders is part of the globalist plan. That's why we ended up with open borders just like the UK and the EU. Also why Trump's first trip abroad was to the Middle East and not Europe.

129 117 Why would Labour want a new election? There are ways of replacing Starmer without calling for a new election, for sure, but calling for a new election would, at best, lead Labour to losing it's massive (MASSIVE) majority.

It has a 283 seat majority over the next party.

But, if that's wrong, then it makes the idea that Starmer is worried electorally even sillier.

Massive (MASSIVE) majority that will only go down, probably to a small minority, if a snap election is called.

France is estimated worse percentage wise on Muslim uptake and dunno about Germany. In UK, about half of South Asians (about 10-12 percent in 2020) hail from India, not Pakistan and they are mostly non Muslim.

FWIW, a fair chunk of illegals into Britain hailed from Poland, and other E. European nations which kind of muddies the water.

So UK is still about 85 percent white and has a higher white native birth rate than do Continental Europeans.

205 FWIW, UK never recovered economically from WWI and WWII and the loss of Empire psychologically.

France flatlined too for similar reasons and Germany found out once it reunited, that they could now lay flat as well.

Then the globalists began importing hordes of Third Worlders and particularly those hostile to the West for historical and religious reasons.

And the US was fully on board with that shit from the Clinton era onwards until Trump.

So we have little reason to disparage Euro commoners over being invaded because our shit stinks too and for the same reason, a putrid globalist ruling class.

Cromwell arose out of about 40 years or so of Parliament going back and worth with the Stuarts, James I and Charles I before Charles decided to declare war on Parliament. That is where Cromwell rose to fame as a general of teh Parliamentary forces. That gave him the core of support from armed men to become Lord Protector and thus cow Parliament into a sullen acquiescence.

The whole deal with the Houthi's is circumspect. The aggressive action taken by Trump was a prerequisite to meeting with the Saudis. Saudi Arabia is, basically, responsible for keeping Yemen from imploding for whatever reason (there are many). It's an adhoc location overseen by the Saudis to keep Iran in check. They suck at it, and Trump likely put more effort into settling down the Houthi's in order to acquire favorable cooperation with the Saudis.

The Houthi's will give it a few months and resort back to their slow motion suicide at the direction of the Iranians. (Which is why Trump is trying to work out an agreement of sorts with the Iranians via envoys at the same time he's meeting with the Saudis)

Euroland has politicians desperate to tack against the prevailing winds before they get swamped by the storm. Starmer's rhetorical surrender and even Merz's are necessary in order to kill them politically if they go back on their words. Pressure in Euroland is increasing like a boiler over immigration and their dying welfare state economy is too.

EU is a statist failure example that cannot defend their borders, not defend their own citizens, and unable to do more than manage the decline of their economies sacrificed on the altar of global warming.

Heh... I remember reading about a military outpost in the high Arctic, back in the '60s.

Due to the sort of glitch for which the military is famed, they somehow wound with about 10x the amount of canned pineapple in their supply dump that they should have.

The designated cook started making "X Hawaiian", where X was any ordinary dish with pineapple on top, e.g. "Mashed Potatoes Hawaiian".

"Hamburgers Hawaiian" was one, I remember.

Distortion of what Trump said. Basically it was leave ships alone in the shipping channel. That was because it was destabilizing and threatening income for Egypt from the Suez Canal.

He did not say that bombing would not resume if the Houthis continued to attack shipping.

It presents a non-romanticized look at alcoholism that can be difficult to watch. (I don't mean the beatings, shootings, and killings; hell, you can't have a decent movie without beatings, shootings, and killings!) Seeing him fail to deal with reality, lose relationships, and basically screw himself over is uncomfortable. (I feel the same about the family photo scene in Ordinary People.) Anyway, the theme song Good Times by the Animals was apparently a hit in the mid '60s although I don't remember it at all. It paints a picture.

I will accept their word, and we are going to stop the bombing of the Houthis effective immediately, the president said without elaborating.

“I think that’s very positive,” Mr. Trump said. “They were knocking out a lot of ships." From the Washington Times.

286 As I've said many times here before, the current state of the UK put our military members and families stationed there at risk. While they're a little safer in East Anglia than they would be in London or Manchester, any time they leave the region (or even if they go into Norwich) they're moving into a high risk environment, the risks coming from both the Muslim butchers and tyrannical Bobbies.

Land armies and invasions are a lot more expensive than Navy handling freedom of the seas.

FWIW, we still need trade for raw materials that we do not have here or in our hemisphere and shipping is the cheapest way to get it. Same as we do not need Egypt destabilized by lack of income as the Suez canal income was dropping drastically.

Freedom of the seas has been a constant in US foreign policy since 1798 btw. and our biggest advantage has been the large oceans between us and adversaries. That requires a Navy to ward off those that would hurt us.

356 - Rogue communication devices found in Chinese solar inverters
- Undocumented cellular radios also found in Chinese batteries

While inverters are built to allow remote access for updates and maintenance, the utility companies that use them typically install firewalls to prevent direct communication back to China.

However, rogue communication devices not listed in product documents have been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by U.S experts who strip down equipment hooked up to grids to check for security issues, the two people said....

The rogue components provide additional, undocumented communication channels that could allow firewalls to be circumvented remotely, with potentially catastrophic consequences, the two people said...

Using the rogue communication devices to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely, or change their settings, could destabilise power grids, damage energy infrastructure, and trigger widespread blackouts, experts said.

"That effectively means there is a built-in way to physically destroy the grid," one of the people said.

369 Giovanni Gentile (Jen-til-ay) wrote of "Concrete Idealism".

Gentile is the founding thinker behind fascism.

Until its fall, fascism was *celebrated* for its efficiency of results. Mussolini didn't really keep the trains running on time as much as that became a convenient parlance to characterize the efficiency of fascism.

I just found out that somebody wrote a book post-WWII called "Rational Idealism" which sounds a lot like what Gentile was trying to do with Concrete Idealism, where the State is the concrete vehicle to improve society. And this book has been rather influential in reshaping Europe.

So, it really may be as I have suspected, Europe is fascist.

They don't believe in the Separation of Powers. And even Dems here ask "Why would you separate powers and make government less efficient".

Everybody likes efficiency, when it's going in their direction. But the efficiency means the State determines direction.

Europe is fascist, and China is a fascist empire.

378 Steak & Shake according to Wiki:

A. H. "Gus" Belt (born in Morrisonville, Illinois) founded Steak 'n Shake in Normal, Illinois, in February 1934, after serving four years in the United States Marine Corps. He converted the combination gas station and chicken restaurant that he owned (Shell's Chicken) into a hamburger stand.

Steak 'n Shake continued to expand throughout Illinois following Belt's death on August 20, 1954. Ownership passing through many hands, including Gus's wife Edith, who ran the chain until 1969; Longchamps, Inc., an East Coast steakhouse company that owned the chain from 1969 to 1971; and Indianapolis-based Franklin Corporation, led by Robert Cronin, author of Selling Steakburgers: The Growth of a Corporate Culture. After the acquisition, Franklin moved Steak 'n Shake's headquarters from Normal, Illinois to Indianapolis.

387 I took Dagny the small Siberian cat to the vet this morning. They found her to be in good health, heart, ears, teeth, etc. -- except for fleas, which apparently the PetArmor had done little to eradicate. One topical of Bravecto*, a rabies shot and tag, and $140 later, she is back home and seems to be perking up a bit more.

Probably her "brother" Stirling will run me another $140 for his visit. That may have to wait for a bit.

* The Bravecto was $52 for a three-month dose. Not too bad, considering on Valley Vet the same product runs $72, also for only one tube.

There is actually a theory that it is the final expression of Westfalian system of government that had basically surrendered all the elements of statehood to Brussels and the EU, and continues to try to seize all outlying states by attempting to intervene in everyone's reserved rights out of the need to eliminate threats to its existence.

This is backed by the proposition that the whole system has become a way of manipulating the methods that states are allowed to operate to ensure that Brussels and the EU always wind up profiting, and in the end it looks like it will turn into a massive incompetency that no one wants to deal with, like Venezuela, or collapse into uncoordinated local states.

Well, for starters, the Saudis making a $600 Billion investment in the US seems above and beyond the US serving as the world's cop. There's a difference in approach with the current administration. No one gets stuff for free. Where previous administrations would have suspect motivations on something like pounding the Houthi's...the current president seems to consider it a piece of the puzzle on a bigger goal.

Keep in mind that the State Dept. has been neutered to some extent in the region. Trump named envoys who report directly to him. He's done that with all the hot spots. It cuts the State Dept. out of influence to some extent. Isn't it telling that Rubio has all this time to take up control of all these flailing agencies rather than serving State Dept. duties? He's making Rubio prove his allegiance.

On another level, by dealing directly with Iran, it has the potential to lower costs in defending Israel.

Agreed, hence the quotation marks.

The point is that "Allahu Akbar" does not mean "God is Great", it means "Allah is Superior".

Even though he obviously is not.

As a Peasant you owed your Lord 1 day a week of Labor... with Sunday for the Lord, this meant 1/6th of your labor was either given AS Labor, or as a Tax. So 16.6%.

If you make a lot of money, you currently pay 37% in Fed Taxes, and in Calif 13% in State... then add in Soc Sec and Mediscare... and you are well over 50%... and that does not include Sales Tax (here 7%), and then Property Tax... so yer suddenly giving 60% to the Sovereign...

Yeah... Peasants were better off....

Feudalism is probably not scaleable since it is modeled on the family and clan pattern, both of which require personal contact to maintain. Aaaaaand, feudalism was probably never "efficient" and always strove to create and maintain an unchanging status quo. This is another situation where the ruling and warrior castes needed to prevent any incursions into their status. They were only effective in small conflicts. Feudalism broke down under the needs to mobilize and supply mass armies, and it is an interesting datum that the Rules based system we live under now began at the treaty of Westphalia at the end of the 30 years war, the war that essentially the end of European feudalism by being the situation where mass armies were needed for state level warfare instead of elite warriors.

NEW: When asked about the fictitious claims in Jake Tapper’s new book about Joe Biden, Gov.
@JBPritzker didn’t hold back.
He said he never saw or heard anything like what’s being alleged. In fact, Pritzker made it clear:
"I never had an experience of anything other than a guy who brought to the table a lot of good ideas on how to solve problems."
Well said, Governor. Truth > gossip.

Yes...they are. Which is, absolutely, hilarious because it sets up a constant deluge of "big reveals" when things work according to plan. It highlights the administration favorably while chewing deeper in to media bias. And, similarly, it negates the fallout on those things that don't go according to plan because they are already harking on a perceived failure without any evidence or details. The media is being played like a fiddle. Even I can see that, and I'm not the biggest Trump fan although I support most of what he's trying to do.

Schumer was all over the place yesterday saying that Trump "blinked" on the China tariffs. Watch what happens next.

464 Honeycrisp apples were da bomb when they were all grown in the Midwest, where they were originally bred. But when mass production in the PNW started the quality /consistency went to hell. There were problems with adaptation and while some from there are good, many are mediocre to terrible.

Try Cosmic Crisp, which is equal or better than Honeycrisp at it's best and is being ramped up more carefully to avoid the problems.

I don't care for spring and summer apples though, even the types that are reputed to store well are so so much better in fall/winter.

465 Other than islam, every religion on the planet gets along with each other. Islam, OTOH, kills everyone else. So the simple, obvious solution to ensure peaceful relations between (actual) religions (or which islam is not - "religion" is a Western word, no definition of which encompasses islam) and islam, is to annihilate islam. A mature world would have done this decades ago.
