Take Your Ball And Go Home! That Is How To End The Transgender Rot In Women's Athletics
This is the template for the return of sanity to women's sports in America. College administrators are feckless worms who will do their progressive masters' bidding, so they are part of the problem. And the NCAA is even worse. Just listen to Mike Rowe's interview with Riley Gaines (the swimmer who tied with Will Thomas) if you want a sense of how corrupted by the Woke agenda the NCAA is.
But the women who are in danger of catastrophic injury are the solution. These are the women who are supposed to be protected by their colleges and by the NCAA. These are the women whose athletic careers are damaged by competing and losing against men masquerading as women. These are the women who risk injury by competing against those men. And they have had enough! Fifth Women’s College Volleyball Team Forfeits Match Against San Jose State“We, the University of Nevada Reno women’s volleyball team, forfeit against San Jose State University and stand united in solidarity with the volleyball teams of Southern Utah University, Boise State University, the University of Wyoming, and Utah State University,” they wrote. However, the University of Nevada itself stated that the match will “move forward” as planned, citing Nevada state laws and NCAA regulations. It said the rules require that competitions be held in “an inclusive and supportive environment,” adding that players are free to choose not to participate, and those who skip the game will not face disciplinary action. [bolding mine]
Notice that they are not being supported by their university or the NCAA. But both of those pathetic organizations must dance along a very thin line. On one side is the health and well-being of the athletes they are supposed to protect, and on the other side are the insane demands of the narcissistic cowards pretending to be women. Sadly, those failed male athletes are celebrated and defended by the progressive left and Homosexual Inc., and they have tremendous power in academia. And notice the Orwellian language..."inclusive and supportive environment?" For whom? Certainly not the women athletes, because their careers and health are in constant jeopardy because of the craven and cowardly behavior of their universities and the NCAA. So that inclusion and support is for the vanishingly small number of supposed "trans" athletes whose sporting careers were mediocre, so they decided to grow their hair and wear women's clothing! Will Thomas is a great example of this lunacy. He has intact male genitalia, and an intact male musculoskeletal structure. How does that qualify him to swim against women? Long hair? A woman's swim suit? That's all it takes? Regardless, the women at these five schools have finally taken a stance against this insanity. Hopefully this trend expands to every single women's sport in America, and these failed pretend women will be sent packing. Does anyone want to bet that many of them will quietly return to their correct sex, when their narcissistic dreams are dashed by these real women standing up to them?

I remember a news bimbo was interviewing Jordan Peterson and said something to the effect of, "Don't you think refusing to use tranny pronouns makes those students feel unwelcome?" And he shut her up as he often does with leftist twerps but this is a pattern the left engages in - pretend that the people that don't want to join the left's jihad of the day are just big meanies instead of having deeply held disagreements with the jihad's topic.

Sunday Morning Book Thread - 10-27-2024 ["Perfessor" Squirrel]
HT: TRex
PIC NOTE
TRex sent in today's pic. LEGO minifigs can be set up in all sorts of cool diorama situations. In this case, it's a bit hard to tell, but it looks almost like something from an Agatha Christie story. All of the minifigs are sitting around in the library. One appears to be a police officer who might be on the scene to question witnesses to a murder. And the library has a cat! FOUR KINDS OF HORROR: When it comes to horror there are quite a few subgenres, a little something for just about every horror afficionado out there. I think most of them can be described as some combination of the following categories of horror: Biological Horror This type of horror feeds on one of our most primal fears: death. We are mortal creatures, but we seldom like to confront our own mortality directly. Biological horror--or horror of the body--exposes us to that fear, if only vicariously, through the adventures of the protagonists confronted by evil that seeks to deprive them of their lives or otherwise damage their physical forms. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is one of the most famous examples of this, as Victor Frankenstein seeks to conquer death itself by reanimating his own Creature composed of the decayed remains of numerous human victims. The Creature is almost always depicted in literature as a scarred, disfigured behemoth with freakish strength, nearly invulnerable to conventional weapons. Bram Stoker's Dracula preys on more subtle fears, as Dracula has the power to turn his victims into lesser copies of himself. He and his minions feed on the blood of humans to survive. Both Frankenstein's monster and Dracula pose difficult physical challenges to the protagonists of their respective stories, and both use biological horror to terrify their victims. Psychological Horror Although we all fear death deep down inside, we also fear being driven mad, when we are convinced that we now occupy a different reality than the one we were raised to believe in. Psychological horror explores our fears, our insecurities, our anxieties, and our phobias. In Dean Koontz's The Face of Fear, the main protagonist, Graham, must confront his deepest fears about climbing after suffering from PTSD due to a bad fall while climbing Mt. Everest. Meanwhile, a serial killer is stalking Graham and his girlfriend through an empty office building. The Butcher is intent on causing as much fear and chaos in New York City as a prelude to taking over the world! (Yes, this plot is straight out of Pinky and the Brain despite being written decades earlier.) Supernatural Horror Whereas biological horror and psychological horror involve terrors of the body and mind, respectively, supernatural horror has a spiritual dimension. Evil ghosts, poltergeists, and demons inhabit this domain. Often one of the greatest challenges for the protagonists is to accept the existence of supernatural horror, as they've been raised to be rationalists, pragmatists, and otherwise skeptical that supernatural entities are real. Supernatural horror can be deeply personal for the victims as the demonic forces target us in our innermost heart, striking at us where we are most vulnerable to their influence. Depending on the writer, there may be an even more powerful spiritual force for good that can save the heroes, but they must relinquish their old belief system and take a leap of faith. Frank de Felitta's Golgotha Falls is a good example of this. A demonic force corrupts and desecrates a small rural church so thoroughly that it declares, "Christ was defeated at Golgotha Falls!" Naturally, it is proven wrong by the end of the story, but the protagonists need to bring in the big guns, i.e., the Pope himself is called upon to intervene spiritually. (NOT the current Pope! It was written in 1984, so he's clearly an expy of Pope John Paul II.) Cosmic Horror Of all of the types of horror, this one is the youngest, I think. The works of H.P. Lovecraft are among the most famous examples, though Lovecraft was drawing upon earlier inspirations such as William Hope Hodgson and Lord Dunsany. Unlike supernatural horrors, which take a direct interest in the affairs of mortal creatures, cosmic horrors see us as insignificant bugs in the greater scheme of things. The universe is so vast and strange that humans are barely an afterthought to beings that are so far beyond our understanding that to even gaze upon one can drive us to madness. It's a cold, unfeeling world out there and we have no place in it. Many authors like to mix and match these to evoke the desired reaction in their reader. For instance, Hannibal Lector from Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris is a cannibal (bio horror) but he's also a highly skilled psychiatrist and loves to toy with his victims' minds. F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack series features quite a bit of both biological and cosmic horror, but also features a protagonist who is not above using psychological horror on bad guys who are messing with his clients. One notable example: A couple of thieves steal Christmas toys from a charity that helps crack-addicted and AIDS-afflicted children. Jack tracks them down. To send a message, he dresses up as Santa Claus, straps on a couple of lead-weighted boxing gloves, and beats the crap out of both of them. He then straps them to the front of the truck they used to steal the toys, and drives the truck back to the charity before calling the cops. The thieves are now terrified of Santa Claus (as they should be!).
At Biden's Dog's recommendation, I did check out Fischer's bio page on Wikipedia. It does seem like he was very conflicted when it came to Communism. He wasn't a fan of Stalin's brutality, I guess, but didn't quite make the connection that it was that very brutality that was the endpoint of Communism. It's always someone else's fault when Communism inevitably fails. MORON RECOMMENDATIONS
This book took me over 4 months to read. It was a tedious effort. This was due to the small size of the print, along with the author's going into minute detail on the historic aspects covered in the book. I learned a lot about the fine differences between Mensheviks and Bolsheviks and those in between. I learned how Lenin was an anti-utopian who nevertheless sought a utopian communist world. When that didn't happen neither outside of Russia nor inside Russia after the Revolution, Lenin breaks numerous of his own rules in an attempt to control the damage brought about by collapsed agricultural and industrial economies and the draining of Russia's "bourgeois" intellectuals, artists, and capitalist financiers and factory managers. The book covers Lenin's early life, his moving up the Marxist ladder, his endless dialogs and disputes with other players including Trotsky, Stalin and so many more comrades. The book covers in great minutiae Lenin's daily micro-management of the vast former Tsarist Empire. Lenin ruled via tyrannical dictatorship. Along the way, Lenin was almost killed in a failed assassination attempt. At the end, he died of one stroke too many. Before he died, he saw what was coming if he would not derail Stalin from climbing up the party ladder. But it was too late. The rest is history. Those who loved him worshiped him as a god, both during his lifetime and after his embalmment and long term public display in Moscow's Red Square. Oh, the irony! Should you read this book? I love history books but this one is geared more toward a student of Sovietology. I think it's important to have a look at the author's bio page on Wikipedia. He led an interesting life: Louis Fisher - Wikipedia In spite of everything stated on Wikipedia, Fischer clearly waxes cynical numerous times throughout the book on communism in general and with regard to many of Lenin's actions. And it is clear throughout the book that he was no fan of Stalin--not at all. I do not know how to bridge what is reported in Wikipedia versus what the author himself wrote here and there in this book.
I'm finishing up my send reading of Vampires of Michigan. I enjoyed it the first time but rushed through it because I just had to find out what happened to Zip. I'm enjoying it even more the second time. Zip is the lead singer in a local rock band. They're good. He has big dreams but the other band members have lives and day jobs. For them it's a hobby; for Zip it's his life. Besides, because of some past mistakes, he feels he's unemployable in a regular job. His old girlfriend has moved on and is now engaged. He's living out of his van. He can't seem to move forward. Zip has recently noticed a beautiful, mysterious blond woman at his shows. She always slips away before he can talk to her, but one night Zip manages to catch up with her. One thing leads to another and Zip has unwittingly been drawn into the world of the Vampires of Michigan, a cross between Dark Shadows and The Godfather. Who knew that vampires lived in Michigan? What happens when the discipline and sense of duty of the older generations breaks down? What is the meaning of life when life goes on almost endlessly?

Books of powerful magic always have to be written in an obscure language. That's so that nobody can see what bullshit they are. I'm not just being cynical here. A lot of the "practice of magick" was invented by failed seminary students in the late Medieval/early Modern era. Flunk out of priest training, hit the road as a "wizard" or an "alchemist." You can spin the jargon, you've got some strange books in Latin (probably a bootleg Satyricon), and you're just educated enough to put one over on provincial merchants and minor gentry. Naturally they played up the Halloween decoration aspects -- skulls, blood, etc. And because you've always got to "cool the mark" before you blow town, invite them to some ritual in a cemetery and maybe pretend to stab your girlfriend or something equally serious, so there's no way they can run to the local authorities. See Elliot Rose's A Razor for a Goat for a good hard-nosed look at the bullshit behind the bullshit in "occultism." Posted by: Trimegistus at October 20, 2024 09:21 AM (78a2H)

I got "con buzz" at the flagship store, buying at least one TC that I could have passed. However, I also scored two of the later books in the Liturgical Mysteries series. I never have seen this series locally, but its frequent mentions in the Book Thread drew my interest.
Then I went to one more HPB store, where I hit the jackpot -- "Nobody's Perfect," a Donald Westlake Dortmunder novel that I've hunted for more than two years; "With a Single Spell," which gained notice in the BT just a few weeks ago; and "Taking Flight," another book in that series by Lawrence Watt-Evans.
With Halloween near, I'll go back into "Ghosted," a short-lived horror caper series by Image Comics. The setup: Mr. Bigbucks breaks Hotshit Thief out of a state slammer to organize the heist of a ghost.
I own all four TCs but never got further than No. 1. Once more into the breach.

I just finished a John Dickson Carr that I think I'd read once before, Till Death Do Us Part (1944). Dr. Fell and a playwright who specializes in psychological mysteries, the viewpoint character, investigate the death of a man in one of Carr's signature locked rooms: All the windows and doors are fastened on the inside, and the victim has died from an injection of prussic acid (cyanide). At first the idea is suicide, but the fellow clearly was not the type and had no motive to do so; and there was more to him than met the eye as well. There's a love story too, as Carr often did, integrated with the main plot. The murderer is well concealed (I didn't remember who it was), but the story is fairly clued. Dynamite stuff.

Almost seven hours long.
Wish I could say I liked it. But truthfully I can't say I DIDN'T like it either.
I think it's just that there were some aspects of it I didn't like.
It's too long and needs an editor.
It moves too slowly and he relates one dysfunctional event after another. Three hours in and you're wondering if he'll EVER get out of seventh grade.
There's also a good bit of profanity that's necessary for character development, but I still found it distasteful.
But I'm glad I listened to it and it wasn't so bad that I couldn't finish it.
That said, I certainly don't want to see the movie.

Carr's supreme ability lay not only in constructing and solving these impossible crimes he sets up, but also in showing character and character conflict -- and his skill at evoking atmosphere, often creepy or edge-of-the-supernatural. As he pointed out in one of his essays on the detective story, those can provide clues as well as physical stuff.

I'm at the point where he "rats" the Tories, to whom he will "re-rat" decades later. This part is more informative to me because in his autobiography Churchill gives less details.
An interesting contemporary detail is that the cause of his split was a dispute over tariffs. The Liberals didn't like them, the Tories did. Of course, the economic situation was very different to ours. The Edwardian economy was still largely subsistence agriculture and because England was out of arable land, food had to be imported and the large landholders could not compete with (for example) American grain.
Thus, lowering tariffs had the practical effect of stretching working wages farther. It was only later that the argument became that there was some sort holy obligation to produce everything as cheaply as possible, regardless of the environmental and human cost.

Nothing systematic in the week's reading. Skipped around in some of the essays in Murder off the Rack (on vintage paperback noir writers) and some of the pieces in Donald Westlake's The Getaway Car. Thinking I'm due for a revisit to a bunch of Westlake (the Parker novels, some of the stand-alones, like Kahawa, The Ax, and The Hook).
And The Hook might appeal to the denizens of the book thread. Think the book business meets Strangers on a Train.

The girlbossing is strong in this series but alas... they aren't Mary Sue characters at least. The supreme girlboss in this series spent the majority of the first book eating shit sandwiches (literally) so I'll give it a pass. And her girlbossing isn't in a physical/combat way. In fact there was a great scene where she was practicing fencing with the best knight in the country and she was sick and tired of him holding back and taking it easy on him - her father granted permission for the knight to show her what the real world is like and she was instantly regretting that decision. Her talents lie in manipulation, business sense and cold-hearted ruthlessness... using her money and sex to get what she wants.

If a ghost story is a form of supernatural horror, then I guess both? The nighttime scene with the banging up and down the hallway, and the two women frozen in fear, with the capper ("Whose hand was I holding?"), certainly makes the grade as horror.

I do enjoy H.P. Lovecraft, but that's because he's so campy and over-the-top - very similar to R.E. Howard. They were a pair.
But I can't take any of his stuff remotely seriously, it's just fun watching him do the latest spin on "I'm a very educated, erudite man and OH GOD I"M GOING INSANE!1!"

England had ruled much of Western France for decades, but in recent years, France was becoming more belligerent.The dauphin and his faction in France were flexing their muscles after consolidating their power among the various families across the country. While Henry asserted his title as king of both England and France, the French refused to accept the idea, and assembled a massive army of 20,000 men or more, including hundreds of knights and mercenary crossbowmen. Henry brought an invasion force and took the port of Harfleur, and then marched north with around 6,000 troops and longbowmen to Agincourt. In a battle that is still renowned, Henry won a decisive victory.
Barker lays out the complete history of the royal families involved, the logistics, and the best available evidence of how this battle developed and was fought. This is a meticulously detailed yet readable account of a battle that still echoes in history.

Sewing on a button, like avoiding eye contact on the subway, is a basic life skill.
It isn’t so much about the family as their relationships, especially her father (I suspect the book was triggered by his death in 2000.) But it’s also about a New York and an America that don’t exist today. She’s a very funny writer, even during moments of heartbreak.
I was initially disappointed when I started reading it because I thought it was a cookbook memoir; now I’m glad to have made that mistake.

A lot of stories need tension, a sense of fear for the characters, but horror has always seemed a bit contrived. I think at least half of the horror scenarios I've come across could have been solved with a .38. Wasn't that how the original Halloween ended, with Blofeld drilling the dude?

I should reread this. It was the first Koontz novel I read. It was well before Goodreads and about all I remember about it were thoroughly enjoying it and being very touched by the relationship between the wandering ex-military man and “his” dog.

Thanks for the mention of Richard Matheson's "Crickets" last week -- I'd somehow missed reading that one, and it is delightfully creepy.
This week for Halloween, I'm planning to revisit some of Leiber's ("Smoke Ghost," "Girl with the Hungry Eyes," his novel Our Lady of Darkness [lots of nods to M.R. James in that one]); also Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, several Ramsey Campbell short stories, and a few by Kealan Patrick Burke. Burke's "Empathy" is one of the creepiest things I've ever read.
Campbell edited a book of stories in the M.R. James tradition called Meddling with Ghosts, and his own entry in that book, "The Guide," is a nice creepy Halloween treat too. Meddling with Ghosts is hard to come by, but you can find Campbell's story in his collections Waking Nightmares. Good stuff.

Story-wise, a random event gives a party-girl extreme magical powers, at the direct expense of the high-mages of the world. This leads to the resurrection of an old world-threatening villainess, whom our hero must deal with. That takes up the first half of the comic, after which the story takes a step back to do some world-building. This isn't as exciting as the first story-arc, but does allow for the next threat to be foreshadowed and slowly built-up. This arc gets a rushed, but still satisfying conclusion, and the last few story-points are a stinger for a big cross-over event that never happened, due to the publisher's bankrupcy...

I recently reread the first twenty issues of Ghost Rider. Two things before I have to leave: the series is heavily improved by removing the comic book colors and making it black and white; and whoever wrote it had a knowledge of Catholicism that might have been superficial in its time but would be considered much deeper today.
It was a good read.

There's a running joke in Catholic circles that whenever someone prefaces a statement about the Church by saying "I want to Catholic school" they are about to recite heresy.
I converted in 2006, and a heavy emphasis was placed on Church teachings, and this trend has intensified, no doubt at least in part because the Pope keeps making really weird statements that require some correction/explanation.
If you want something less intense, Chesterton and Belloc are good choices. Waugh provides practical application in fictional form.

Heh, I remember that! "Always cut the apples so you can find the hidden razor blades."
Halloween is the favorite holiday in our household in large part because it carries none of the emotional baggage that Christmas does. It's all about fun.
I have noticed a much more strident call to observe All Saints Day, with much foot-stomping about it being a Holy Day of Obligation. As I get older, I'm leaning more into that aspect.

On the art side of things, "Mystic" was something of a cheesecake book. Not to a gratuitous or tasteless degree, but still, the heroine was a beautiful lady, and the artists liked emphasizing that. There were three main artists over the course of the 43 issues, and while all three were pretty good, my favorite was the final one (Aaron Lopresti) who was doing his best to ape the Frank Cho style.
Overall, I give the book a mild recommendation. I'm not overly fond of the premise, but there is a decent story or two to be found, and the art (the best mix of full comic-book linework with hatches and shadows plus digital coloring that is realistic without overwhelming the linework) is always good enough to carry the book.

It's about the "phantom prom date" ghost of urban legent. Through machinations outside of her control (detailed in other books by Ms McGuire) she has been given the task of killing the man who killed her originally.
I don't know where Ms McGuire got the idea that rednecks were itching to blow up a truck stop to kill high schoolers that put on musicals, but whatever. After the first section ends, things move along much better as the Rose (the aforementioned ghost) gets down to the serious business of the quest.

A Family Guide to Spiritual Warfare by Kathleen Beckman also has some scary case studies, and while I enjoyed it, she does tend to repeat herself and I found myself skimming ahead a bit because yes, I get the value of prayer, etc.
What's interesting about both books is how mundane evil is. No need for head-spinning and pea soup eruptions - a lot of oppression and possession is just terrible life choices or cruelty that we write off as a personality quirk.
The books also highlight how people can be drawn into evil simply by assuming the spirit world doesn't exist, so cool goth tattoos or Santa Muerte decorations are just fashion statements.
To put it another way, you may not be interested in the spirit world, but it's very interested in you!

Come, come, now! I'm one of his biggest fans. But the first time I saw the episode, Shatner's expression in the scene I mention can only be described as "triumphant," instead of displaying the horror and dread that the character should show at that point. I wonder why the director didn't catch that and have him redo it. Maybe they didn't have time or money, though.

Probably the best exemplar of this is John Wyndham's
"Village of the Damned" and "The Day of the Triffids".
While the actual circumstances, if you think about them are horrible: invasion and possible extinction through alien rape and induced blindness thus freeing one of mankind's freaky but controlled biological frankensteins freed to do as they "wish", the stories and protagonists handle them in a calm (as possible) and efficient manner. These are problems to to solved and solved they must be.
I think this is a result of these authors being Brits after living through the bombings and V-2 attacks of London. Yes, circumstances were horrible but keep calm and carry on.
It's an interesting mix instead of the modern tendency to go for a negative ending.

That's the director's fault, not the actor. They do rehearse these things before the camera rolls, and Shatner's take was obviously pleasing to him.
I mean, yes, there are points where directors surprise the actors to get a more real response (or directors have other actors deliver the surprise - see Julie Christie's reaction to Rod Steiger sticking his tongue down her throat in Dr. Zhivago), but that's still the director doing it.

I am actually trying to read the manual for VARAC, a form of digital communications for amateur radio. If I can finally understand the protocols, and get my Yaesu DX-10 properly configured to play nicely with the software, I hope to hold conversations (keyboard to keyboard) with operators around the world without internet or cellular networks.
Almost a year to go before retirement. I hope to read a lot of books once I clock out for the last time.

Renumbered to US 491 in 2003.
And along those lines, the SyFy channel did a Route 666 movie in 2001. It was as cheesy as you'd expect.

CrossGen?
Which puts me in mind of a later CrossGen series, "Route 666." That was the company's dip into horror. I remember nothing about it, but I might still have those issues.

Ah, yeah, Route 666. I read the first few issues of that series via the compendium books. Enjoyable enough, I suppose, but not something I would have collected for its own sake. Maybe I should give it re-read this week...
For any outsiders wondering what we are talking about, Route 666 was a short-lived early 2000's comic where a teenaged girl from the pseudo-50's gets chased by all the cliches from the cheap monster-movies of the era.

That's the director's fault, not the actor. They do rehearse these things before the camera rolls, and Shatner's take was obviously pleasing to him. . . .

Brideshead Revisited. On the surface it's a story of family breakdown, but if you read deeper, it is a conversion story.
Fell free to watch the TV adaptation with Jeremy Irons because it is so well done that if you read the book, you'll be seeing the show and the actors.
The Sword of Honour trilogy then goes even deeper, and is more overt in its discussion of Catholicism.
What make both of these books so useful is that they are *applied Catholicism* not theoretical, and the characters are flawed, realistic and struggle to figure out what they should do. Nominally observant Catholics are shown to have missed the point entirely.
And through it all you have the legendary wit of Waugh, creating laugh-out-loud scenes to lighten the mood.

You can watch Brideshead and not miss anything. In fact, even if you read it, you need to watch it. Lots of funny stuff in it, but Julia's conversation with Charles at the fountain is one of the most powerful, raw performances I think I've ever seen.

People pass over the history there but you had quite a few Romanians, Serbs, etc. convert to being Muslim or served as Turk's enforcers in the Balkans. So, Vlad ended up killing a lot of his own countrymen because they were collaborators in his mind (and quite a few in reality) with the Turks.
You have those ancient century old grievances in the Balkans where memory of past misdeeds can only be exceeded by that of the Middle East.

"Last Days" by Brian Evenson.
This one really gets under your skin and does something I really like in horror novels, which is that it fully embraces its own mad logic by the end to drag us all the way down the rabbit hole.
The form of the story is that of a detective novel. The story itself concerns a detective who has his hand chopped off during an encounter with a vicious criminal. That circumstance makes him perfect to infiltrate an "amputation cult" where a murder may have been committed.
Highly recommended and thoroughly creepy. And BONUS! It shines an interesting light on our mutilating crazy times.

I read your analysis of the pivot to new media yesterday as spot on. Very astute. A lot of the GOP campaigns downballot still rely on GOP tropes like the MSM is so important. I think that is in part because of media ad placement commissions for those GOPe types.

So then I read the Alicia Yoder series, where the protagonist is his adopted daughter, rescued from street gangs. I liked that too.
Wanting more M.A. Rothman, I picked up Plainswalker. When the protagonist "leveled up," I started to wonder what sort of world I was in, and noticed that it's called "An Epic Fantasy LitRPG Novel."
So I'm apparently reading a novel patterned on Role-playing game structure. Huh. It's good, though.

He definitely needs an editor to keep him on the story.
I've mentioned his "Fall" a while back. You have to read it like it's 2, maybe 3 different books in one.
But, they guy pulls some seriously deep insights as I think on his books.
Like, in Fall, most people will choose to live in "social media" meaningless bubbles in a VR world instead of ever venturing out and exploring the possibilities.
But, his discussion of "breaking" the internet is becoming reality with AI and deep fakes. And it's worrisome. We are in the last days of "free" internet.

Imagine if Stalin's reign had extended only from the opening of Barbarossa in June 1941 to the German surrender in May 1945. I think he would be considered an unqualifiedly great leader of Russia.
It was only the invasions, mass murders and purges that came before and after that make him the monster that history generally views him as.

This book considers Edward Coke's career in Parliament in a period of transition from his legal career personally (prior to this Coke was royal judge and attorney general for the Crown among other jobs), and from King James to his son Charles I politically.
Coke died before he finished his Institutes which had a profound effect on the colonies and he died before the English Civil War began between Parliament and Charles.
But, one can clearly see that what Parliament did, while Coke was still alive and serving, from 1621-1628 created a unified Parliamentary opposition in the House of Commons to the Crown that continued to harden until Civil War broke out.
Charles I intransigence and favoritism of the Duke of Buckingham as his chief minister made the House of Commons use the power of the purse and parliamentary inquiries into the conduct of Charles' ministers to thwart Charles.
So, useful pedantic book on the slow burning match to the English Civil War.
My primary interest was in the Petition of Right of 1628 which is still considered part of Britain's unwritten Constitution.

It's only been in the last few books that it's gotten ridiculous. I mean, you could view the whole InCryptid series as commentary on anti-environmentalists, but you don't have to, not to mention that there's nothing in there to tie that to anyone to the right of Lenin, and the books are pretty entertaining. The biggest problem I have with the Covenant of St George is that they've had hundreds of years with very few cryptids to hunt and they still haven't lost the plot. That's, um, not realistic. The take of the "Witchfinder Army" in "Good Omens" is more like what would really happen.

JTB,
Honestly, if I were starting to read Waugh I'd start with the three middle novels of his comic years.
"Black Mischief"
"A Handful of Dust"
"Scoop"
That gives you a pretty solid understanding of Waugh's worldview and strengths as a writer. Then I'd progress to
"Brideshead Revisited" where he uses many of the same techniques to generate his most profound novel.
Then "Sword of Honor" Trilogy, which has some of Waugh's best humor in "Men at Arms" with the Apthorpe sections.
And finally, "The Loved One" where Waugh attempts to fuse the profundity of his later novels with the freewheeling satire of his comic novels.
All good stuff.

Think about that.
Great description of Molotov by Sir Winston Churchill: Molotov was
‘a man of outstanding ability and cold-blooded ruthlessness…. His cannonball head, black moustache, and comprehending eyes, his slab face, his verbal adroitness, and imperturbable demeanor were appropriate manifestations of his qualities and skill. He was above all men fitted to be the agent and instrument of an incalculable machine.’

As to recurring characters in Kirk's stories: the hero of "Sorworth Place" appears in another short story ("Savior's Gate (IIRC)) and has a major role in the novel "Lord of the Hollow Dark". Another recurring character is that of Manfred Arcane a suave and sinister fellow who can with equal deftness and elegance kiss a lady's hand or cut a man's throat. He is the lead character in both "A Creature of the Twilight" and "Lord of the Hollow Dark" plus two of the short stories.
Fortunately I bought both "A Princess of All Lands" and "The Watchers At the Straight Gate", Kirk's two story collections from Arkham House when they were originally published. They are long out of print and used copies are quite expensive. "Old House of Fear" is available for Kindle. Publishers are missing a trick by not offering his other short stories and novels in digital form.

Churchill had the advantage in writing about great events because he had actually met or discussed matters with pretty much everyone important in the first half of the twentieth century. Had the knack of sparkling prose and the direct experience of what he was writing about which is a killer combination in a writer.
Write what you know is an old admonition to writers and Churchill could certainly do that.

I've read a couple of Correia's earlier works and just don't care for them much and certainly not to the point of rereading them.
Perhaps you have noted why I don't care much for him as I am not a horror fan in general. History, as noted above, has far more horrendous villains in reality than horror writers can conjure up.
Lenin, Mao, Stalin, etc. and that is why Robert Conquest's books and the Black Book of Communism are important readings along with those about the Holocaust.

I've had good luck getting books via Ebay. Better World Books and another big reseller whose name escapes me at the moment often offer a discount if you buy multiple books at a discount with free shipping. Lots of indy bookstores represented there as well where reseller rep scores are important to read before buying from them. That being said, those smaller bookstores often ship out fast which cuts the USPS book rate shipping time a bit.

Pre-kindle, I bought most of my ebooks from Fictionwise. When Barnes & Noble bought Fictionwise, there was a last-minute opportunity to download all your books in mobi format as well as their original pdb formats. Kindle could read mobi, and it still can, but you can't use Send to Kindle to send mobi files to your device now; it's either load 'em by USB cable or convert 'em to epubs with Calibre to use StK.

Finished listening to "Daughter of the Third Reich." IMHO the story needed a good editor (where have they gone?) and the author needed to decide who her audience was. The heroine and POV character starts as a young girl in 1930's Germany and follows her through 1939, just before the invasion of Poland, when she is 16. There is an Epilogue that briefly recaps her life from the end of WWII and life under Russian/East German control to the 1990's. But this really didn't seem to be a YA book written for girls, either. Most of the supporting characters, including the heroine's love interest (who is Jewish--what a novel idea!), lack depth and complexity. They are all stereotypes. There was some interesting background on Leipzig and what life was like in that period.

Funny thing: When folks were first joking about Vic being older than dirt, he was years younger than I am now. But if we measure by experience-years (you know, like dog-years), I'll never be as old as he.

True, Cooper's researches into the benefits of aerobic (= cardio) exercise have gone way beyond those two books from '68 and '70. (For one thing, age adjustments for aerobic goals stopped at 50+ back then; now we have goals for 60+ and 70+.) But they remain two of the great motivational books of all time.

I think I read Dead Six, but I don't remember it enough to comment on it. Reading "Son of the Black Sword" is basically how I reached the conclusion that everything Correia writes is horror. I mean, how much more horror can you get than demons coming out of the ocean? And it goes on and on and on. I have had absolutely no desire to read any of the other books in that series.

Daily Tech News 27 October 2024
Top Story
- Are Boeing's problems beyond fixable? (Financial Times / Ars Technica)
Probably not.
They do need to ditch their space division, though. Find a buyer or just shut it down. Unless the government starts handing out cost plus contracts like candy again, it's a money pit for them.
Tech News
- Intel's new Arrow Lake CPUs on motherboards with Intel's new Z890 chipset running Microsoft's new 24H2 update to Windows 11 with their integrated graphics don't. (Tom's Hardware)
If you want to do that, you need to update your BIOS. Or disable the integrated graphics and plug in a video card. Or stick with a previous edition of Windows that works.
The last option is likely safest, because this is not the first major problem to have arisen with 24H2 on specific hardware. There are known SSD models that work perfectly well on previous Windows versions that cause Blue Screens of Death on the latest update.
- UnitedHealth has confirmed that medical and billing records for several customers were exposed during a ransomware attack on Change Healthcare back in May. (Bleeping Computer)
Where several turns out the be one hundred million. Roughly.
What's more, when Change paid the ransom - believed to be $22 million - the intermediary stole the money and stiffed the hackers, leading to the data being leaked anyway until Change paid the ransom again.
The attack caused an estimated $2.45 billion in losses for Change.
- Bounty hunters. Just saying.
- An energy company founded by the CEO of Atlassian plans to build a 6GW solar power plant in northern Australia - good place for it - and supply 2GW of that to Singapore. (Reuters)
The article doesn't mention the exact location, but assuming this is the north end of Western Australia (which is a desert) and not the north end of Queensland (rainforest) or the north end of the Northern Territory (swamp) it seems like a good plan.
Plans are to also supply power to Indonesia in the future. That's a lot closer than Singapore, but either is closer to that part of Western Australia than is Sydney.
- The US government bought a tool that can track phones at abortion clinics. (404 Media) (archive site)
If that seems oddly specific, your suspicions are correct. It can track mobile phones anywhere. The writers of this piece don't care about wholesale unconstitutional violations of privacy, though. They only care about abortion.
- Orion could be OpenAI's game changing model. (Hot Hardware)
No it couldn't.
Disclaimer: Reminder - Orion is an anagram of "OpenAI is bleeding cash".

The photoshopping of Red Kammie's face onto a dead woman's body to create an "authentic photograph" of Red Kammie in a McDonalds' workers uniform is both inept and despicable. One could even argue that it is stolen valor, as the woman they exploited was smart, accomplished and a positive contributor to society.

GE Aerospace? Does that exist again? I worked for that company when they sold us out to Martin Marietta. That must have been about 25 years ago. Later, we were gobbled up by Lockheed, which is how we got Lockheed Martin. I guess that's still what it is.
An earlier place I worked was a huge aerospace company that eventually got gobbled up by Boeing, long after I no longer worked there. Boeing must be absolutely huge - who would be big enough to buy a significant part of it?

The northern coast of Western Australia is really a best-case location. Broome or Port Hedland don't even get as hot as Sydney (though they have more hot days) and nothing like the Sahara or Death Valley, but they have very low rainfall so it's almost always sunny.
They also have solid industrial infrastructure because it's a huge mining area. Port Hedland handles half a billion tons of shipping per year - it's in the top ten ports worldwide by volume.

@KTmBoyle
The most remarkable thing that Team Trump has done this election season is to find a new medium— not tv, not debate, not rallies. A medium with different and fractured audiences that isn’t captured. And then systematically put two candidates on every major podcast until they worked their way up to the Super Bowl of Podcasts.
Here’s a candidate everyone knows, everyone has an opinion on, but they decided to reintroduce him in a totally different medium that allows him to talk and talk and talk, flood the zone of information, in a medium that’s more smiles and shooting the sh*t than hits.
Love him or hate him, there’s a reason the phrase “media genius” was used when in 2016 when he won with rallies and television audiences.
No one saw this strategy coming.
This is truly the podcast election.

My little TLM missal mag has a holy card bookmark each month. One October's was a wonderful prayer to Christ the King, reminding that He is the boss of us and all earthly authority derives from Him and asking that all nations put themselves under His rule.
Need to add that one to the rest of the election prayers.

Before the BCS, national championship series.
You 'd, or at least I'd, park it on the couch and watch the parades and watch the Cotton Bowl. And then the Rose Bowl. And then, it seems more often than not, the national championship decided in the Orange Bowl.
All three with proper, halftime entertainment.
What year was it that when no other conference had ended the year claiming the #1 and #2 spots that the final poll was...
#1 Nebraska
#2 Oklahoma
#3 Colorado

Trump is his golden as his shoes he's selling. He could easily go 300 electoral votes or more. With a couple weeks to go it seems pretty clear this election is over except for the post election lawfare out of the Democrats, some obligatory Democrat sponsored antifa street riots and a couple constitutional crisis when it comes time to the certification.

dIt has been a while since Bill Burr was featured here. Let's remedy that.
Hairy palms, blindness and now squeezing injuries.
Masturbation isn't something any of us should be shy about, but when the mood strikes, some of us seize it a little too tightly. To put it plainly, if you've got a penis, grabbing it too hard while pleasuring yourself could leave orgasms further out of reach. It's what is known in slang terms as Death Grip Syndrome (DGS), though there's actually no official medical name for the condition.
My part of the Frozen Tundra is sunny South Beach compared to Norilsk, Siberia.
You may think living in the UK is grim, but one look at the Russian city dubbed the ‘world’s most depressing’ will leave you thanking your lucky stars. Norilsk – an ex-USSR town deep in north Siberia – has been given this unenviable title by multiple sources over the years. And it’s not hard to see why. The city sits within the Arctic Circle, with year-round snow and temperatures that peak at 9°C in summer yet drop to an excruciating -50°C in January.
The Fahrenheit temps are high of 48.2 and low of -58Formula
(°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F
So this is the modern day Max Klinger?
A gay man who fled Bangladesh to escape persecution had his asylum application refused after a judge told him he was ‘trying to pass’ himself off as gay. Monsur Ahmed Chowdhury, 38, came to Britain as a student in 2009 from Sylhet, a city in northeastern Bangladesh, on a student visa after never feeling safe enough to be his authentic self in his native country. Following years of applications, submitted evidence and rejections, Monsur had his application rejected by a judge following a First-Tier Tribunal, a court that handles immigration disputes, in March 2018 – because the judge didn’t believe he was gay.

Outgoing Tide: As most anyone present at the TxMoMe might've noticed, I arrived with a zero load out of gear, and spent my time there with my ass pretty much firmly planted in my folding, pneumatic rocking chair. (six years until last year, MINE was the only such chair to be seen, there. This year? SEVEN of them! lol) Reason for my inactivity? Feelin' poorly. A +40lb. weight loss in the previous 5 months. Muscle mass. Weak and no endurance. Moron "Aviator" (a neurosurgeon),and Nurse Ratchet visited with a while, there, and the Good Doctor gave me a field-expedient "look over". Whereupon he insisted that I find the inside of my local E.R., first thing Monday morning. Which, I did. Just got released Thursday afternoon. With a nice, fresh,formal diagnosis of Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) So, gimme that 3 to 5 year life expectancy, and I'll be floating along with the Outgoing Tide. It'll be best that I do so, while atop a raft of Horde Prayers. NO REGERTS, HORDE! (...y'all is the Best Horde EVER!) Jim

It's what is known in slang terms as Death Grip Syndrome (DGS), though there's actually no official medical name for the condition.

Heh. We had just got through watching Diane Jennings's video, Irish Girl Tries "IRISH" Pubs in Chicago (2nd round).
https://youtu.be/qhXgIO_td1w
One of her standards of "Irishness" was if the bar could do a good pour of Guinness. All four she visited got 10 out of 10. They did look good.
My first taste of Guinness was in a bar in Chicago where Milady's oldest brother (RIP) tended, last century. On tap, perfect temperature.
I could go for a Guinness right now, but alas we have none in the house. Nor any good Irish bar in the vicinity.

People have noted that this is the second time that Kammie has pulled this bait-and-switch.
The Harris campaign had its media toadies say that it was "likely" that Beyonce would perform on the last night of the Democratic National Convention, in order to get viewership up for the DNC.
There was no intention of having Beyonce perform, of course.

In the first segment a news bimbo says something like, "Some people say you went too far..." and Burr correctly responds with...who? Who says that?
I hate it when news bimbos take on the passive voice when they are throwing their opinion out there. Be an adult - if you think it say "I think that..." or if you want to get your guest's response to some specific other person's point come prepared and read them the full quote with the person that said it.

Rapper Lil Durk received the key to the city from two Chicago suburbs DAYS before being arrested in connection to an alleged murder-for-hire
. . . .
As ('Lil Durk' Devontay) Banks was taken into custody Thursday, federal prosecutors in California announced the arrest of five others: Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston — whose charges include murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire conspiracy and use of a machine gun in a violent crime resulting in death.
The charges stem from the 2022 slaying of Georgia rapper Quando Rondo's cousin, Lul Pab, born Saviay'a Robinson, in Los Angeles.
. . . .
The defendants were offered money and "lucrative music opportunities with OTF [Only The Family record label]", for the murder of Bowman, according to the indictment. A credit card associated with OTF was used to purchase airplane tickets to fly to California and murder Bowman, the indictment detailed.

Several years back, I had a long chat with a very experienced pathologist. (I was at a mystery convention and he wrote mysteries as a hobby.) He was very happy to share with me several medical studies he knew about. Yeah, many of those studies were just getting going and wouldn't see the light of day for years down the road. And many others would fizzle out. But the researchers (the good ones, not the ones simply looking for a payout) keep on keeping on.

You'll see mass mental illness on a scale never before seen if Trump wins a solid victory.
There was a post on X - the poster, whose major life activity appears to be engaging in Trump-hatred, was politely told not to show up for Thanksgiving if she couldn't lose the political obsession for a day.
This request completely enraged her.
Her family is being torn apart, and its all Trump's fault.

Please look into DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) for ALS. Recent studies show that using DMSO helps tremendously in neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, ***especially*** if used early after onset of the disease.
I can share some links on how this works if you'd like. The FDA, as usual, is way behind on the benefits of using DMSO beyond just topical applications. Email is my screen name at yahoo dot com.

The interview definitely didn't hurt Trump's campaign, and probably helped it.
He's usually seen haranguing a friendly crowd at a rally, or haranguing a bitterly, psychotically hateful crowd at some awful press conference.
This was a chance for non-political people to see Trump in a normal conversation. It'll be hard for the millions of people who watched it to reconcile the video of the man they saw with the monster they've heard so much about.

Some have convinced themselves that reasonable people can't differ. Some have determined they exclusively know the Truth and anyone with a different view is not just wrong, but evil. Some have invested their personal sense of identity in seeing themselves in the right. Anyone who challenges that is doing more than taking a political view - they are challenging their identity. Some spend a lot of time virtue signaling to themselves.

This IS funny: (a B-52 has 8 engines)
An F-111 was flying escort with a B-52 and generally making a nuisance of himself by flying rolls around the lumbering old bomber. The message for the B-52 crew was, "Anything you can do, I can do better."
Not to be outdone, the bomber pilot announced that he would rise to the challenge. The B-52, however, continued its flight, straight and level. Perplexed, the fighter pilot asked, "I'm waiting, what are you going to do?"
"We just shut down two engines."

“So who’s gonna win?”
I replied that I thought The Donald was outside the margin of cheating, and would win.
He shook his head and said he preferred his president to be of a more moral character.
I retorted that at least The Golden Scalpweasel didn’t get to where he was by being able to suck the chrome off a bumper hitch.
He was genuinely shocked to learn that Comeoniwanalaya was Willie Brown’s side piece, and had sucked her way to the top of California politics.

It's really kind of beautiful, in a technical sense. Tehran isn't seen to respond = further, serious decline in their street cred (it's greatly diminished already). Tehran responds - more ass-kicking coming their way.
It's clear Israel appreciates and understands this dynamic, and is surely content to operate within it. Israel dominates every rung on the escalation ladder (understatement). Higher Iran wants to climb, worse it will be for them. But not responding to Israeli attacks, worse it is for them geopolitically.

This IS funny: (a B-52 has 8 engines)
An F-111 was flying escort with a B-52 and generally making a nuisance of himself by flying rolls around the lumbering old bomber. The message for the B-52 crew was, "Anything you can do, I can do better."
Not to be outdone, the bomber pilot announced that he would rise to the challenge. The B-52, however, continued its flight, straight and level. Perplexed, the fighter pilot asked, "I'm waiting, what are you going to do?"
"We just shut down two engines."

Kamala's rallies are bought and paid for. GPS tracking of attendees proves it.
October 10th in Arizona, only about 4300 devices showed up for that. Only 531 of those devices were from Arizona. ... less than 3% of the attendees at that rally were y from AZ
September 12th, rally in Charlotte, North Carolina. Only about 5,000 devices showed up . … 3,600 … nearly 70% of the devices there were bussed in from Georgia, mainly Atlanta and 720 of them from Savannah.
September 30th , Las Vegas about 7,000 devices were there, 834 of them were from the Las Vegas area. +/- 1%?
Over 3,000 came from California, 2,300 were from AZ and 134 were from Mexico.

Here I sat brokenhearted, spent a penny and only .... wait, that's a Scot's lament. Anyway I really thought I had broken it. Checked my LAN, did an ipconfig /flushdns, all to no avail.

Thank you so much ❤
Hopefully it has been caught early enough that treatment is possible - I don't feel sick at all. As I mentioned earlier, this wasn't on anyone's radar - certainly none of my doctors suspected anything!
One "God" thing did happen. Yesterday when we pulled into the driveway after getting the results of the MRI, I looked over and noticed a fat fence lizard sitting on one of the stones in the yard, just sunning himself. I pointed it out to Paul, and the lizard stayed long enough for both of us to get a good look before he jumped off and disappeared.
Our late daughter, Michelle, was a huge lizard enthusiast and always loved those fence lizards. We both took it as a sign that she is watching over me and that everything is going to be okay.

Music Thread: A Real Classic!
Commenter and Classical Music fan Hadrian the Seventh has taste that diverges somewhat from mine. His tends to the schmaltzy romantics, but he redeems himself with a lovely selection of the real heavyweights. Not enough, so he will be on probation until he puts Mozart's 15th and 16th Piano Concertos on the short list. Really...there's no accounting for taste. Anyway, he has lists of his favorites, and has graciously made them available to The Horde. The 200
The 1200
All reflect my appalling taste, prejudice for orchestral music and preference of the Romantic and Classical periods. Most are reasonably short, but if the inspiration supports it they may be longer. I'd be happy to send anyone who asks a thumb drive with .mp3's of all the pieces from either list.
That's a generous offer, and one that will make you very happy if you take him up on it. It is amazing how much classical music has crept into popular culture, and you will discover that you know a fair number of pieces on his lists!
I don't know much of their music, but they are one of those bands that is instantly recognizable. And what I have heard...I like! Strange? Sure. But also musical.
I have linked this song...I think...but I really like it, and so you should too! The Waterboys Fisherman's Blues
Enough of their music is irritating that I stopped listening, but this is a pretty good one.
You should listen to more Southside Johhny And The Asbury Jukes. Love On the Wrong Side of Town is just...fun!
Somebody mentioned "Korn" in the comments, and I thought, "Gee...I haven't heard them in years! I barely remember what kind of music they make. Well, there's a reason I don't remember. My brain blocked it all out because they are terrible.
The Dixie Dregs? Refried Funky Chicken Not a bad song!
And remember...this is a lighthearted thread. Try to keep topical sh*t out of it.

Probably "Flood" by They Might Be Giants. They had a pair of songs featured on Tiny Toons (I was a kid, okay) that were absolute bangers (to a kid): Particle Man and Istanbul (Not Constantinople). Besides those, I still find myself humming Birdhouse in Your Soul and Whistling in the Dark...

I don’t remember the first CD, but I do my first record. It was Peaches and Herb Reunited. I am not kidding. I was 7, had been bitten in the forehead by a Great Dane that did not appreciate me kissing him, and I had to get stitches. I was allowed to get whatever album I wanted for being brave, and that is what I picked.

One such video was "Two Days into Belgum," a parody of that "Two Days into College" song that swept the internet earlier this year. It's a light-hearted take on Germany's apprehension during WWI. It's pretty good, and pretty funny.
The second video was "Red Commie Club," a somewhat farcical take on Poland's attitude to being in the eastern block after WWII. (Spoiler, animated Poland was feeling much better about it than any actual Poles of the day.) Because the song was pretty catchy, I tried to track down the original song that the video was parodying....And that was a mistake. I had to purge my YouTube preferences (lots of clicking 'I'm not interested' and 'Don't recommend this channel') so that my feed could go back to being clean and un-disturbing...

That is a great album, through and through. Ol' Boz is a real bluesman, never got the success he deserved. I got to hear him live with The New York Rock and Soul Revue when they hit Cinci in '92, I think. The tour was so popular Donald Fagen (MC & performer) and Walter Becker (also performer) decided to get the band back together and take Steely Dan on the road live in 1995, their first concert tour since 1973! Donald said "Let's bring on Boz Scaggs", and Boz walked on as the band slid seamlessly into "Dirty Low Down". It was magical.

The Pineapple Thief - All Because Of Me.
I love these guys! Especially with Gavin Harrison (also in Porcupine Tree) on drums.
https://youtu.be/qXVf_co_hmM
Guilhem Desq - Vastitude.
One-man-band with a hurdy-gurdy and an all-pedals drum kit. Odd, but interesting. No idea why Youtube suggested it.
https://youtu.be/mUgXSgYZ9TE
Devin Townsend - Knuckledragger.
I like his older stuff (Ocean Machine, Terria) more than his more recent stuff, but this is getting back to that older sound, so I'm digging it.
https://youtu.be/K6s8JzbKsw0
Empress - Departure.
Youtube recommended me an all-girl Japanese metal band? Shocking, eh? It's not going to be one of my top ten, but they're not bad.

Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 15, Yeol Eum Son, pianist. The charm of the music is exceeded only by the charm of the artist in this video recording. You'll likely recall it third movement as being one of the musical selections in "Amadeus".

One time we went to Birmingham to see them play at Baby Does in 5 Points. We had a table right by the stage and had a 6 shooter (IYKYK) set in the middle of the table. we got baked with the purple sensamilla one of us had grown that year. What was fun was all the chicks that came up to share, it was a parade and fun was had by all. I still have B&W pics of them laying it down.
This was way back in the 80's so the statute of limitations is long gone, now get offa my grass.

Elvis, Glen Campbell, and Johnny Cash all recorded gospel albums because they told their mommas they would remember to thank & praise the LORD when they became successful.

Equally, Werner feels obliged to slam Rammstein - their song "Deutschland" and its accompanying video are perhaps the best depiction of their lack of creativity and cartoonish view of the world and global politics. "99 Red Balloons" brings more to the table musically than all their work, and that is saying something.

Out on the Road to Shambala
I had a small transistor radio, and a grade school buddy named Brad Elkema of mine, maybe 8 or 9 years old, we scouted the crick for frogs and critters one summer. I remember this tune, and it sort of stuck with me as perfect summers as a care free kid. We'd ride our bikes, eat green apples out of the old farmer's abandoned field. Sweet Home Alabama came out about that time, they played that one a lot too.

Ach, of course Werner feels obligations. Remember, I kept Kinski employed for a sizable part of his career, and saw to it that he saw the Vet four times a year. On that last, just consider the size of the cat carrier that I had to heft each time. It was from a sense of obligation to all humanity that I did my best to prevent the musical career of Björk, back when she known merely as Björk Guðmundsdóttir. I failed, as is apparent to all, but I tried. Icelanders are notoriously quick-minded and nimble, and were it not for the volcanoes, the entirety of the world might be underneath their control. Yet one cannot weep over past failures - otherwise Werner should still despair over the fact that Gary Busey continues to get acting roles. I tried, I truly did. Alas.

You reminded me of a time I was camping in Northern Arizona, and we were short on food but able to drive, and we found some place called the Irish Chicken Ship Restaurant. (yes that made no sense, just told you that the owner was insane.) We got a pizza took it back to our campsite, realized it was basically runny tomato sauce over a big matzo cracker. It set a new standard for awfulness - we tried to give it to the dog, a half husky who would eat anything, and he took a sniff and looked up at us with a look that said "are you fukkin kiddin me?"

Bananarama was a good girl group, not just saying that because they had some nice videos on MTV back in the day. (Although it helped!) They started out in the UK with message minded New Wave band The Fun Boy Three, and the two trios together made a decent band. See their version of "Our Lips Are Sealed". Then the girls got "discovered after a couple fo good hits & got brought to the USA to go mainstream. I like listening to their songs, which usually put me ina good mood.

Nazareth was pretty good on tour. And they toured a lot, constantly. Tickets were $4.50 and $5.50 or whatever. "An Evening With" ... Styx, was an example of a band that was pretty hard rock. Really. I saw it live, but I think bands were required to record sappy ballads as part of their contract. Nothing else makes sense and also neatly explains Phil Collins. Has a demonstrably female person ever expressed an indication that Rush is a good band, however? Or "Yes", those guys.
The dichotomy or quadrotomy or whatever, there were the stoners and rock and rollers, Disco in there somewhere for people who wanted to dance (and actually score chicks). The cerebral stuff didn't get any airplay or radio time except for college radio FM. Punk came along because everybody was sick of the "Arena Rock" era, and big hair and derivatives.

Hobby Thread - October 26, 2024 [TRex]
Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread.
We gave the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies(TM) a spin and it landed on a theme of Halloween traditions for this week. Imagine that? What a coincidence with Halloween coming up soon! Let us talk Halloween traditions. Costumes, decorations for the home, pumpkin carving, trick or treating, candy, haunted houses, pumpkin chunkin,and such. Do you embrace the holiday? Are you a jack o lantern artist? Do you have favorite pumpkin designs or costumes from your past? Have you over engineered decorations, costumes or pumkin carving? Are you planning a great costume this year? Do you remember traditions from your childhood? Have you shared traditions with your kids? How did your manage the candy haul of your kids? Did you impose a parent tax that confiscated some of their candy? Do you go overboard with decorating your house for the little ghosts and goblins? Is your house haunted? I know the Horde is crafty. What have you made, built or bodged for Halloween? Content below to get the conversation started, but looking for participation from our gray box friends. If meaningful to you, it will be meaningful to the Horde. Time to get spooky!As per usual Hobby Thread etiquette, keep this thread limited to Halloween traditions. Politics and current events can be scary but can reside in threads elsewhere. Play nice. Do not be a troll and do not feed the trolls. As usual, wearing pants is optional for thread participation.
Top photo with Ghostbusters trivia: Did you know that the ghost in the Ghostbusters logo has a name? Apparently they named him Mooglie during the filming.
Looking for a Halloween costume with an AoS theme? I will let the Horde decide whether either of these models is a hordeling.
The tradition of carving Jack o Lanterns originated in Ireland using turnips instead of pumpkins. It is allegedly based on a legend about a man named Stingy Jack who repeatedly trapped the Devil and only let him go on the condition that Jack would never go to Hell. But when Jack died, he learned that Heaven did not want his soul either, so he was forced to wander the Earth as a ghost for eternity. The Devil gave Jack a burning lump of coal in a carved-out turnip to light his way. Locals eventually began carving scary faces into their own turnips to frighten away evil spirits.
Comic relief:
Where does a mummy go for vacation? The Dead Sea. What do vegetarian zombies eat? Graaaains! What kind of horse does a ghost ride? A night mare. Why did the skeleton not go to the party? Because he had no body to go with. Why did the skeleton not cross the road? He did not have the guts. Why did the ghost need a band aid? He had a boo boo. What kind of ship does Dracula have? A blood vessel. What do ghosts eat for breakfast? Scream of Wheat What do you call a chicken that haunts your house? A poultrygeist. Why don't witches ever have babies? Because Warlocks have hollow weenies.(Spoken)
When hinges creak in doorless chambers
And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls
Whenever candle lights flicker where the air is deathly still
That is the time when ghosts are present
Practicing their terror with ghoulish delight
When the crypt doors creak, and the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a swinging wake
Happy haunts materialize
And begin to vocalize
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize Now don't close your eyes and don't try to hide
Or a silly spook may sit by your side
Shrouded in a daft disguise
They pretend to terrorize
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell
Restless bones etherialize
Rise as spooks of every size
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize
Mwahahahahahahahaha!
(repeat three times) If you would like to join our jamboree
There's a simple rule that's compulsory
Mortals pay a token fee
Rest in peace, the haunting's free
So hurry back, we would like your company Hurry back...hurry back...
Be sure to bring your death certificate
If you decide to join us
Make final arrangements now
We've been...dying...to have you

If Halloween traditions are not your thing and you have trouble finding something in the content or comments that resonates with you, hijack the thread for your hobbying as you see fit. We will feature a different hobby next time around. Send thoughts, suggestions and photos of your hobbying to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. The left lane is for passing. Get out of the left lane if you are not passing. If there is something strange in the neighborhood, who ya gonna call? Call the Ghostbusters. TRex is busy. Dinosaurs are allergic to slime.

We had sewing threads to make it sit up and raise its hands and I worked it from inside the bay window on one side of the front stoop and my dad and brother were on the microphone whose little speaker planted in Wilbur's chest.
So was born Wilbur the Funny Phantom -- and watching the kids interact with this thing was a hoot. We had it behind the boxwood next to the stoop, and I controlled the light in a shoe box and would plug that in to highlight Wilbur and make him sit up as my brother or father would voice the critter. "This is Wilbur the funny Phantom, deep in the heart of the Jungle you hear the doo doo birds cry! Hockey hockey hockey!"
And the kids would talk to this thing like it was a real spook. We never had so much fun.

There was a single candle in the foyer on the entryway table next to the candy. Little kids would come up to the door and I would open it silently with the hood pulled down to my nose and would silently put candy in their bags as Daddy played the devil's chords on the piano and then start to come out of the den into the foyer... and the kids would run away screaming.
This was great fun until one daddy's ire put an end to it. Apparently it was a bit too much for his 3-year-old daughter and he came up to the door and started ranting to Dad that he was a terrible father for scaring this little kid and Dad was so embarrassed that he pulled the stocking off his head and covered it himself with guilt and dirt and apologies. After The Irate dad left, we quit.

Not so much. I buy a costume for my little daughter, and take her trick or treating. I buy candy and leave the light on so the wife or older kids can poison the other little munchkins with sugar.
But aside from that? Nah, and I don't think I ever will.
I mow my lawn and power wash my siding regularly, and that's about the most I'm willing to do for the visual enjoyment of people who would eat me if they got too hungry.

Absolutely. preschool/kindergarten, 1st thru 3d grades went thru the neighborhoods after school and before dinner. Moms/older kids would walk them and wait at the end of the driveway.
4th grade and above graduated to going in the dark after dinner, sans parents. Great fun, and a rite of passage.
Also, in NY, aduts dressed up to hand out the candy. My father, dressed up, also ventured out into the night to the closest neighbbors - not confirmed, but I believe he was rewarded with an adult beverage or two.

I've designed and made a couple of Halloween quilts. One was a small wall hanging of a haunted house, for a cousin, with different scary prints "fussy-cut" to be looking out all the windows. The other was lap quilt sized, log cabin blocks with a border, in black and orange prints. That one went to a silent auction for my high school reunion. I love buying and playing with Halloween fabrics!

We would buy a bale of hay and put one of the bigger kids in it with oversize clothes, cheese cloth over their head and straw sticking out of the sleeves over gloves. Then drape the scarecrow over the bale.
As the older kids walked up the 'scarecrow' would move and talk. Invariably there would be screams and running involved.
One memorable night a mother walked in front of our home while her children were at the last house. She was 'dancing in the moonlight'. Scarecrow said something like "you're a good dancer" followed by creaming and running.
Good fun.
Now the homes are far enough apart we get no tricksters.

Oh, I did costumes and so forth as a kid, and my mother brought home a pumpkin and we carved it out and decorated it.
What I really miss is the Eighties, when Bennigans and other bars/grills would have a costume night the Saturday before 10/31. You could come out to eat in costume. (I suppose nobody tried to dress as a giant bear or as the Alien from the '79 film.) Mrs. Wolfus No. 2 had her little suede bikini, handmade, after the style Raquel Welch made famous in the dinosaur movie. Funny how every single male waiter made a point of coming over to see if we needed anything. . . .

Eventually, once, we found the stash, and took it back one day. The day we were supposed to be cleaning the turtle and fish tanks on the upper floor of the house. We transferred the animals to temporary housing, and began to drain the tanks into buckets, and went to gorge ourselves on contraband, and promptly forgot about those tanks.
So when we got busted, it wasn't only for stealing candy, but also for flooding our living room downstairs with truly foul effluent.
Good times.

The other is an apartment building a block from where I lived. I forget the legend. Certainly I never heard or saw anything strange when I walked past it. (The filmmakers used the exterior as a location -- not haunted, but as a black hotel -- in the 1965 movie Hotel w/ Rod Taylor.)
You'd think there would be some legend attached to the house where Lee Harvey Oswald lived on Magazine Street; but of course he didn't die there. On a "ghost tour" some years ago, the guide tried to convince us that LHO had gone to the same grammar school as I did years later. (Nope; he wasn't living here then.)

There are a lot of whittling projects using 1 inch square sticks of varying lengths: wizards, owls, gnomes, etc. Doug Linker has a bunch of excellent videos on his YT channel.
I reaffirmed that my whittling skills are modest but I bow to no one at making basswood chips and curls. Also realized I have to get back some hand strength if I want to carve for longer than 15 minutes at a time. But whatever the results, whittling is a very relaxing activity.

But remember, this is Deutschland, so, it's a little....different. The costumed youngsters call it Süßes oder Saures (roughly "sweets or sours"), but more often, they say "Süßes sonst gibt’s Saures," the literal meaning of which is "Give me sweets or there will be sour things." Ja, even among the merriment, there is a threat. Nice Haus you and Lisl have here, Herr Friedrich, shame if something should happen to it if you don't cough up some candy ASAP. At times Werner believes the Mafia might have developed some of their M.O. just by observing every-day German social interactions.
Bitte, if Werner may ask, given that this is a blog military and smart, might someone put him some knowledge on what happened with the Friday ONT? The last I remember taking a look at it, things seemed to be going quite well.

Things I learned. Don't pass out in any of the tents or they'll shave your head (women from Italy are not exempt...which is where I learned this). Always make time to visit the bier gardens in Munich. The Hoff Brau Haus has a one below street level which is epic. I learned how to parachute in that place with a bunch of US Airborne who were also just visiting (jump tuck and roll...off the long table). Best beer I had over there wasn't even Bavarian. It was Czech (Budvar). There really is a red light district in Munich...and it's cleaner than most places in the US.
Final lesson. Be an extrovert and meet everyone. The Oktoberfest tents are what the UN was supposed to be. People from all over the globe trying to communicate in various languages while enjoying liter mugs of beer. I happened to get there just before the wall came down and E. Germans were slipping through Hungary. Those guys were a treat to behold. They were loving life.

That's hilarious. As someone who also flooded the main room when converting the bathroom into a skating rink using water and soap, I commiserate as Mom was not amused after she'd spent several hours on her knees applying floor polish (1953 or thereabouts, Jinja Uganda). She got physical when pissed off which, fortunately, wasn't often.

For some unknown sartorial reason, or maybe gifts from ex-girlfiends, I had some highly dubious mismatched clothes. So I got a shirt with wavy electric green horizontal stripes on an neon blue shirt, with chili peppers printed chefs pants (as seen in the Book Thread). These not only clashed, there was a major fashion war going on.

Until the late Seventies, I think, nearly every TV show that presented a Halloween-themed episode made a point of clearing it all up at the end, making sure the viewer knew that the ghosts or goblins had all been a hoax by the villain. After Kolchak the Night Stalker, I think, it began to be okay to present the supernatural as real and therefore much scarier.

I would look off in the distance with the binoculars, look at the map, then ask loudly and slowly "Where is the train station?" or "What is the exchange rate in this country?"

I got the idea that it would be fun and interesting instead of trying to carve a face out, but would be fun to smash out the face design using a hammer.
It came out really groovy and grotesque looking dimly lit with a candle, and almost all of the littler kids would stop and stare and not come any closer until Mom or Dad brought them.
No real effort but excellent result.

Mister JackStraw, you may not remember me but as a little girl I used to come to your house every Halloween for treats. Those occasions are some of the fondest memories of my childhood.

>>Keep this thought. 3D printing is in the queue for an upcoming Hobby Thread.
I can probably send you some pics of the stuff me and my grandson are printing.
He loves Transformers, I've printed a number of Transformers and Decepticons.
Right now I'm finishing up a 2 ft tall Devastator, I ran out of green filament, ordered some up, I should be complete by next week.
A Voltron is next on the agenda, but the model is so big and complex, and the finishes that can be selected are staggering, so that might be a whole winter and fall project.

In addition, I wore glasses, which made it cumbersome to wear a character mask. By the time I got contact lenses, I was too old for costumes (for a few years, anyway).
Our kids and I did the usual routine -- with one twist. My wife is a helluva seamstress, and she made many of the kids' costumes, particularly for our daughter, who has quite an imagination. I will always remember her jellyfish outfit.
As a comics fan, I have sometimes handed out comics to go with the candy. That's harder than it sounds because there are no comics for little kids anymore.
I hit the cheapo shelves at the FLCS today but found nothing appropriate. So I ended up paying cover price for a dozen Disney reprint issues, featuring Mickey or Donald.

Like most ancient traditions we have retained the practice but forgotten the reason.
Interestingly, everywhere has different names for the lanterns but the oldest reference to 'Jack O' Lanterns' comes from the east coast of England. It's another name for Will O' the Wisps, atmospheric lights that you sometimes see out on the broads or above peat.

For your consideration, a current picture of our #1 cat, Jack the Cat, aka (by me) Mr. Creosote, establishing furniture dominance. Found by my wife as a very young kitten in our garden, he was brought to the house and fed. Amply. That said, he's a very social fellow of good cheer and a feline gourmand. Best Regards, Very Long-Time Lurker Mauser Medic.A cat with personality!
I've been getting pics together for the pet thread and managed to get this 22 second video on YouTube. Our 50 pound dog Ralphy is helping himself to a little cat food and water of visiting cat Trump, who is not ours. Trumpy is less than 10 pounds but looks over 20 because he's so fluffy! Love that cat! Posted by: Stateless at October 24, 2024 07:45 PMWe'll be looking forward to learning more about your great pets! And visiting PetMoron Adjacent Animals.

Not pet related but just came back from early voting here in Michigan. Paper ballots, but you have to feed them into a mechanical tabulator, which was jammed. The election officials offered to have people step out of line and put there ballots in a box to be counted later.
30 people in line, no one took them up on it. Started working 10 minutes later.

You're the best!
Thanks, I'm trying to get pictures to you this week.
First, I loved the tarantula video. And the cat in the pumpkin. Jack the Cat is so cute!
Trumpy and Snowflake are well. It's almost been a month since they've been visiting. We trust them completely in the house. Even alone. But I try to keep them separate.
Our friends told me Trumpy will be getting fixed Thrusday. Snowflake was going to get neutered Friday but her Mom was concerned she may be pregnant and they wouldn't abort the kittens.
I get worried about the cats when they leave the house. They are outdoor cats so there is a part of me mentally prepared for bad things happening. They have free run of the house and are here more and more.
When they sleep, I love going up to them, petting them and hearing them purr. I kiss them on the head and tell them I love you. The dog, Ralphy is getting more 'I love you's too.
Thank everyone for your help during this.
I am concerned about their weight, although Jack looks very happy. I have been weighing them like a crazy pageant Mom and monitoring their food intake.
I actually have kittens to go take care of.
Everyone have a happy week.
And thank you!

Kindltot mentioned on a thread that Trumpy looks partly like a Maine Coon which I looked up. He definitely has their friendly personality and looks like the images.
I'm going to go check on the kittens. The mothers are getting fixed. I'm so happy. I have taken care of an insane number of kittens which have found homes.

Well, this week we had a great instance of interspecies cooperation. Sort-of.
In the main room, we saw Ony with something in her mouth. Yes, a wiggling mouse. Don't know if she caught it in the house or brought it in from the back porch. Ony ran into the bedroom with it (oh no!) and Milady followed her in.
Cat owners can relate that a cat will rarely help by taking its prey outside. And, of course, on encouragement to do otherwise, she dropped the rodent.
Fortunately, it scuttled back out into the main room, where Daisy, already alerted to Something Happening, caught the beast. Daisy dropped it and picked it up several times. Then we said to Daisy, take it out in the back yard. And she did!
It was dark out, so we don't know the mouse's final fate, but when Daisy came back in, she was mouse-free.
Good teamwork, critters. Treats and pets all around.

Daughter and I just got back from the dog park. I thought it would just be a big fenced in field, but there are actually trails through the "woods" and in the middle there is a nice big open space. Our two boys got to sniff and be sniffed. And after the walk, we gave them a bath. This park has an all-weather little building with a dog wash inside. Warm water and everything!

I grew up on a farm and in the summers we had a huge garden spider that spun a four foot web on our back porch. One morning I headed out in the morning to do chores and it ran over to the edge of the web and waggled its legs. I put my hand out, it put one leg on my hand, then scuttled back. After that, it came over every morning to touch my hand. Plus we had no flies or mosquitoes on the porch!

If it's an ugly spider or indeterminant, goosh. Sorry guy. Never had a bad snake get into the house, so far.
Assuming our furry hunters don't find them first. Ony cat has been pretty good at alerting us to big ol' garden spiders crawling along, then lets us deal with 'em.
Daisy dog catches flies, and other fluttering insects. Really had a furious chase going after a big buzzing fly the other day, but dog won. Bon appétit, pupster!

Pumpkin puree (like you use to make pumpkin pies) is good for dog digestive problems, not just diarrhea but also stomach upsets. I told a neighbor whose dog had recurring diarrhea about it and he said it solved his problem.
I give my dog a tablespoonful in her food once a day as a preventive measure.

This final batch went from the cayenne that are hot as hydrofluoric acid even when green to the ones that taste sort of like bell peppers until they turn red. I chopped them up, salted them down, and I am leaving the jar on the sideboard so it can ferment into hot sauce.

Hwy 395 runs along the eastern side of the Sierra and weaves back and forth across the Nevada/California borders. The whole drive is pretty cool. Pinion pines, plank floored general stores, Mono lake, the Alabama Hills, the awesome bakery in Bishop and an old cemetery near Vinton looks like a transplant out of a John Ford western.

The Mobil gas station at that intersection used to be a 5 star restaurant, the Whoa Nellie Deli. I guess it is still there; but, I haven't eaten at it in years so don't know if it is still as good as it used to be.

I second this post. The run from where 395 meets 14 going north is one of our favorite drives. And - a lot of western were filmed in the Alabama Hills area west of Lone Pine. Schat's bakery in Bishop is a 'don't miss'. Owen's Lake was once deep enough to support steamship traffic - in fact - two vessels were lost in a storm on the lake and never found.

I pulled up some vines and harvested a mutant gourd-shaped striped squash and a green onion. Will put a tarp on the zucchini tonight. Maybe it will survive for the unseasonably warm week ahead.
But my main adventure was pushing over the big pot I want to move to the front yard. A swarm of hornets came out, but it was cold and windy so they were slower than I. They buzzed around in a cloud for a surprisingly long time. When it finally gets cold, I will empty the pot into the firepit.

Searching to make sure I spelled the meadows properly I read the following:
"Toulomie Meadows is located 60 miles from Yosemite Valley and can be accessed via Tioga Road (Highway 120 East).
The meadow is approximately 505.73 miles from the park’s eastern entrance."
505.73 miles!!!!!
It is 12 miles from East entrance to West entrance to Yosemite.

Fuscias vary by the species which went into the hybrids. Some are more sun-tolerant than others. Some thrive in more shade. Usually the big-flowered ones are not particularly sun-tolerant but may not be as vigorous.

In the 50s the forest service came through eradicating all currants from the area because they purportedly harboured blister rust, which was decimating the white pines. White pine was a big commercial crop.... for matchsticks if I recall correctly.
Anywho...this woman threatened to shoot the forest service employees if they touched her currants.
They left and never came back.
And of course, they recently discovered red currants are blister rust resistant. Always had been. Figures.

Found that squirrels had nibbled part of an outdoor candle, leaving little wax shreds by it. WTH?
Various things are now dead - zucchini, tomatoes, nasturtiums. Marigolds damaged, but there should still be a few left for All Souls Night. Red raspberries and strawberries still producing a few decent ones. Harvested a few last poblanos. Broccolini plants still alive, but I don't think I'll get more from them. Rosemary pot was brought indoors before the trip. Garlic still needs planting.
Today we emptied dirt onto a tarp, from the last few tomato pots. One was destroyed by burrowing critters (vile little beasts!) and 2 damaged. Saw 2 voles scarpering away from us. Definitely getting barn cats next year!
Also today, raked up leaves from 3 sweet gums and shredded them. Husband sawed a limb, which was trying to block the sidewalk, off the front crabapple tree.

Thread before the Gardening Thread, October 26
Too Many Stories - Trump is Hitler
One of our challenges, and one of the challenges for the "other side" right now is that there are so many stories that it is hard for people to focus. Do you ever feel this? Take the "Trump is Hitler" theme in The Atlantic: It is entirely reasonable to think that this was planned as part of a larger psy-op rolling out over several days to justify violence at some point in time if "necessary". James Carville had just threatened insurrection and nobody much seemed to notice. (Piece also touches on some stories you may have missed.) But then the LA Times and the Washington Post refused to endorse Kamala, even though she had confirmed that she was running against Hitler. And Joe Rogan didn't seem to be afraid of Hitler, either. Kind of undercut Kamala's speech and The Atlantic's stories. Let's be unburdened by what has been, okay wokesters? Let's not boycott Amazon Prime to show that we disapprove of WaPo's insufficient hatred of Hitler! We wouldn't want to be like those stupid MAGA types who do boycotts, would we? Okay, maybe we could petition them to change their motto to something that doesn't mention democracy dying in the dark. Maybe something like "What can be, unburdened by what has been". Let's go really Marxist! And maybe Jennifer Rubin could resign. The Economy I think the big story for the weekend was supposed to be that 23 Nobel Prize Winners said that Kamala's economic plan was better than Trump's. At least Friday is when my lefty "friends" on social media picked it up. I have a hard time imagining that all those Nobel Prize Winners really think that taxing unrealized capital gains is going to expand the economy. What an accounting nightmare! Among other drawbacks. I don't know if that made it into Kamala's final written proposal, but her values remain the same, as she repeatedly says. I'm not sure Trump has completely explained his economic plan for the eggheads. Here's one rundown on tariffs, via the 9/26 Morning Report. A Penn-Wharton analysis is also at odds with the 23 letter signers. There have been some problems in the past with tariffs. Bush did a steel tariff which didn't work out. But Trump is not the only one for whom tariffs have worked. For Trump, tariffs have been a negotiating tool, as described by a fellow billionaire. He used tariffs to negotiate the "remain in Mexico" policy, for example. Tariffs were not permanent. Tariffs were a bargaining chip. The story of the eloquent billionaire who described this perspective on tariffs, is remarkable. He lost a brother and employees on 9/11.On the morning of September 11th, 2001, I was taking my son to his first day of kindergarten. My phone kept ringing and disconnecting. I later learned it was my brother Gary trying to call to say goodbye. Cantor Fitzgerald was located on the 101st to the 105th floors of the World Trade Center. We lost 658 people that day, including my brother Gary, who was 36, and my best friend Doug, who was 39. I promised to take care of all the families. They became part of my family. Over the next five years, Cantor Fitzgerald gave the families $180 million and paid for their healthcare for 10 years. Today, the purpose of @CantorRelief is to take care of people who are in need.AMERICA!

They don’t actually have the command and control to launch anything that coordinated, even if some of them wish they did. There’s a great essay on substack, linked on X, by a poster calling himself
Bennett's Phylactery. His thesis is:
“We've seen a lot of Vulgar Displays of Power in the last few years (COVID, BLM, Epstein, the steal, etc)
But they never seem to go anywhere, because USG is not a human institution with goals - it is a fungus.”
In other words, the radical Left is huge, and powerful, and invasive, and terrifying. But it has no intelligence, and routinely makes errors that anyone could avoid with even a little bit of thought. (Like nominating Kamala) Worth finding and reading.

Institutionally, official economics has been captured by the Left, along with everything else.
The last time I checked a few years ago, about eight people constituted the official leadership of the American Economics Association.
One white male, for a organization that is at least two-thirds white males.

Taxes should have been front and center instead of just obvious gimmicks that aren't going to actually become law. First it was no tax on tips, than no tax on overtime, no tax for firefighters, getting rid of SALT limits, now no income taxes at all. You start losing credibility.

Replacing all domestic federal tax with a sales tax (rate calculated to have some net cost after for domestic goods) would result in little change in the cost of those domestic goods.
Yet, oddly, imported shiite would net about 50% more.

Imagine a world, where people start to think of their money as their money, and that government "services" are only ever allowed to exist... when the people decide to let it.
In such a world, defense secretaries won't be able to fund foreign wars, only the people's representatives will be able to make those decisions, and be held accountable for them.

As Arthur Milikh explains, today’s journalists are water-carriers for the Destructive Left.
But as the regime they defend expands in power, the tyranny the press champions may one day curtail the very freedoms the profession relies upon.

The problem is with wealth tax the runaway inflation will cause everyone who owns property to be millionaires on paper (which is what will be used to tax us).

BTW, no repeal of the 16th would be necessary.
All congress would have to do would be is set the rate of taxation to 0% or even 1% as it was when the amendment was passed.
It was 1% and was supposed to affect only the very rich. Like Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, etc.

It's only a matter of time before the junta, if it remains in power, decides it really doesn't need a "free press" anymore and just goes ahead and nationalizes the media.

The stated reason for moving from tariff to personal income tax was to get rid of the partisan arguments over what imports to tax, and make a more even taxation of the individuals who profited most from arguing over the tariffs, manufacturers and millionaires who owned industries.
The unspoken reason was to secure a ready revenue for the feds in the face of international downturns caused by things that disrupted international trade LIKE GETTING INTO POINTLESS WARS THAT ONLY SERVED TO PUFF UP WILSON'S EGO and reward federal contractors who disliked getting paid in bonds and promissory notes.

The whole thing started out with Trump explaining the Civil War, which started with him saying how weird it was to be in the Lincoln bedroom, which was his response to Rogan's question about how it actually felt to be President, in those first days.
Sorry to those who don't want to hear this, but it reminded me of Cummala answering questions about her record by telling us she was raised in the middle class.

The problem is, there were charlatans, some perhaps well meaning charlatans (some not) who claimed they had evidence of the cheat. And they didn't.
So that's the narrative now. Whether the cheat happened or not, they got away with it, because they were better at doing it than the Trump people were at either A. Stopping it, or 2. Prosecuting it after they did it.
And that's why people fear they will get away with it again, because of the question as to whether Team Trump would be able to do anything about it THIS time.

I appreciate the kind thoughts.
The plan is to excavate a large area using two large excavators in tandem to follow a "scent trail" of K9 hits and connect all the dots. Every previous K9 response location (from two prior teams, totalling 7 dogs and almost 20 specific TFRs) will be dug. Additional K9 support will be on-site. If nothing is found following that plan of attack we will be confident that it is not the burial site.

Early vote numbers, but I can't help but wonder how much of the R/D differential is due to the commies keeping their powder dry until they know how many ballots they'll need.
I'm beginning to think/hope that the pres election is getting beyond the point that any plausible fraud can change it, based on the fact that the Kamala campaign and media seem to be in a state of phoning it in otlr grasping at straws. But the down ballot races may be ripe for fraud.

Rake or blow away any loose leaves before starting a fire. Leaves left alone could lead to a conflagration.

About Hannah Arendt:
Some wag once described her "as the world's worst police beat reporter."
She accepted at face value Eichmann's claim that he "was only a little cog in a big machine."
She ran with that in "The Banality of Evil." Too funny!

Will listen to the Rogan podcast today! It's racking up views, good for both of them. Will cement the male vote for him. Hope Kamala has extra wine stored up today for cope drinking.
The news that Kamala, the green new deal queen, has broken the world record for shortest flight... taking one from Andrews Air Force base to Reagan, only three miles... sounds too ridiculous to be true. But I get it, that beltway traffic is murder! I'm sure everyone there wishes they could take a plane to work.

The president described to Rogan what it was like to be president on the first day. He told Rogan a story about seeing the Lincoln Bedroom for the first time, and the story included General Robert E. Lee being a bane to Lincoln.
Rogan said and now they're going to say you were praising Robert E. Lee. The president nodded and said, "I know." Then the two men moved on to another topic.

Recently I was having a discussion with a person that is very religious, and I asked him about the line in the Lords Prayer about lead us not into themtation, but dellver us from evil. I did not understand, as of course God would not lead us to temptation! He said we are led into temptation when we feel that any challenge is beyond the ability of God to deliver us from. It makes sense!!
We will all pray for her.

Lots of chatter today about how Trump has taken the lead in the average of RCP national polls-- something which is literally unprecedented.*
Overlooked is that the GOP now also leads in the "generic Congressional" vote. The GOP is ahead in that too. Think about it: EVEN WITH CA & NY included, more voters say they're likely to vote Republican. If the RCP generic aggregate of all polls is accurate, that means the GOP holds the House, imo.
The GOP is already guaranteed to take the Senate... unless the DEMs can beat Ted Cruz in TX!
If the DEMs were to flip the House, Trump would have to go fish as far as passing anti-illegal alien legislation. And pretty much everything else, too. I realize the "GOP-controlled" House has been a disappointment to us. But it will seem like the Good Ole Days after 2-4 years of Speaker Jeffries.

Every vote is for a Republican. Every Republican is important all the way down to City Councilman and Dog Catcher. Trump must have full community support in order to overcome the Democrat machine.
That Democrat machine is in your city, in your precinct, that's where it begins, that's where it's nurtured. Nip it in the bud.

Adolph Eichmann was many things, but he sure as hell wasn't BANAL!
His rank was kept artificially low, to avoid attracting attention. He was handpicked by Himmler & Heydrich to organize and command the vast SS Holocaust machine.
Arendt attended Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem. She somehow fell hook, line, & sinker for Eichmann's preposterous claim that he was just a minor functionary, i.e., that he was just "a little cog in a big machine."

It’s the kind of thing that has taken on its own life. And it’s like something very special exists there. And that doesn’t mean that I admire it. It’s just — it’s real. And now [Elon] Musk is joining him. I mean, to a lot of people, that’s Tony Stark. That’s the world’s richest guy. And he’s obviously, and undeniably, a brilliant guy, and he’s saying, Hey, that’s my guy for president. That’s going to really matter.

Prayers for comfort toward his widow Irene and adult son Michael are also appreciated. 9/27 – Coelacanth asked for prayers for his son. In the last year, his son has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and another connective tissue disorder that can be severely limiting, and his most recent job has a terribly toxic work environment. Despite this, the son has been pushing through. He has been praying, but feels that God has abandoned him. The Horde’s prayers helped this son the last time; please pray for him again. 9/28 – “Perfessor” Squirrel asked for prayers for a family of missionaries from his church, currently on their way to Kenya to begin training Kenyans on how to engage in Christian missionary work in Africa. The family includes the son-in-law, wife, and three small daughters of the pastor at the “Perfessor’s” church. Prayers for their safety and success in their missionary work are appreciated. 9/28 – J.J. Sefton offered prayers for safety and a return to normalcy ASAP for those in and around the area affected by Hurricane Helene. 9/28 – Tonypete requested prayers for his wife’s best buddy, Mike.

There will be a second procedure done soon. 10/7 – Piper requested prayers for her stepfather, who fell and broke his wrist. He will need surgery to put a plate in. He is in a lot of pain. 10/7 – NR Pax sent an update and thanks for the prayers – mother-in-law’s masses in her chest turned out to be non-cancerous. 10/7 – 496 asked for prayers for the people suffering from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. 496 is on his third bout of pneumonia in a month, so he could use some prayers, too. His doctors have not figured out yet what is going on. 10/7 – Eromero posted a prayer. “Dear God, Please grant comfort to families suffering worry and despair over relatives missing after the hurricane damage. Give the searchers and rescuers sharp eyes and gentle hands, guide them to any victims’ location. Supply survivors with medical treatment and nourishment, place them in safe shelters. Return them to their loved ones. In Christ’s name. Amen.” 10/7 – Marcus T posted the good news that a family member’s cancer is gone. Marcus T’s cancer is gone, as well, so he says to never lose hope, He will show you the way. 10/7 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her church’s rummage sale, and that the township which has purchased land from the church would complete the transaction and pay for the land. 10/12 – Just call me Bill asked for prayers for his 14 year old granddaughter.

He was having heart problems, went to the hospital, and they admitted him. He had a stent put in. 10/19 – Jewells said the CT scan showed growth of 3 tumors on her right lung.

He had been in poor health for some time. 10/24 – buzzion asked for prayers for his friend Christina. She is dealing with a lot of struggles right now and could use the positive prayers. 10/24 – B requested prayers for a friend (age 43) who is having heart and lung problems.

Witchcraft is real. Lots of chatter about it in Catholic media due to Halloween and what is appropriate decorations (skulls, graves, reminders of mortality) and what is not (gore, Mexican death cults).
I find it fascination how this has all come out into the open so profoundly. The UK banning silent prayer proves that it works and they are afraid of it. If it's just a bunch of losers mumbling to their Sky God, why would anyone bother to ban it?

My skin is a little sensitive, and the aftershave and lotion help in case I come close to irritation. And yes, I have a beard -- but it's the neatly trimmed Commander Riker style, and I have to shave the cheeks, the lower lip, and the throat below the sharp beard line.
Maybe after I retire I'll go to a Hans Gruber style beard and learn to shave my lower cheeks down to my throat. Or maybe not.

Yet I know a lot of people are very anxious about the outcome, no doubt due to the disappointments of 2020 and 2022. Everyone fears the cheat.
However, I think those events happened for a reason. The disappointment of 2022 led me to a deeper, more fulfilling prayer life and my family as well. It also caused evil to become more brazen and bold, forcing people to pay attention. The way I see it, our country has become mired in wickedness and sin, and being Catholic, I don't believe that simply repenting is enough. There has to be redress as well, a penance for the harm caused.
So it may well happen that we're only getting started on the road, and with millions of dead children caused by our wanton pursuit of sexual license and pleasure, we can only agree that it is right and just.

Hmmm. That may explain a few things...
When I went to leave the house to go to the store, the doorknob came off in my hand.
I almost ran into a deer (6-pt buck) on my way to the store.
While at the store, one of the items I bought was cracked and leaked all over my hand.
When I got home, I discovered my cat had thrown up all over my desk (including on my mouse).
So...am I cursed today?

You know how every public forum gets overwhelmed with leftie trolls if it's Trump?
Not there.
The few pathetic losers that wander in all say the same talking points. My favorite is several saying all the comments are from bots.
But, all of them are being ignored and washed away in the flood of positive comments.
There's also repeated "XAI204P" which I don't know what means ... but context suggests it's a censorship work-around?

I almost ran into a deer (6-pt buck) on my way to the store.

HILLARY CLINTON - FTW!
COLLINS: What do you think Kamala Harris has to do to avoid a repeat of 2016?
HILLARY CLINTON: Well first of all I don't think she has Jim Comey in the wings waiting to kneecap her, so that's good.
that is why the media is so full of crap when they push that republicans were underrepresented in the polls in 2016, intentionally ignoring what Comey did, yet implying that same underrepresentation in 2024 is a false flag. Our biggest challenge as it was for Hillary is the misrepresentations that are propagated by media pundits in the 24/7 news cycle.
The FCC was supposed to regulate and prevent such conglomeration. Each GOP administration turned such agencies on their heads, so that they worked for corporations instead of 'consumers'.
Hillary is a badass and a Democratic hero. Love it when she takes the gloves off. And watch Collins's face!
It broke my heart in 2016. Hillary would have been an outstanding president….such a loss for the nation when she lost the EC.
Straight Fire. Madam Secretary never fails to get to the heart of the issue and tell you like it is.

It's as real as anything else. There are different branches of it, from the more hipster Wicca crap to hard-core animal sacrifice and blood magic.
It very much works - no, people aren't turned to toads per se - but the souls of those who practice it are decisively turned away from God and into the service of demons, and this energy is spreading through a society that doesn't understand the implications of allowing it or using it.
Evil shifts its ground to suit society. In a secular materialist world, the smart play is to make witchcraft seem fun, feminist and generally harmless, so that it is tolerated. Christianity is then framed as stifling, conformist, joyless, patriarchal, and so women leave it.
And the devil reaps a rich harvest of souls. It's very real.

Sadly, the priests that speak openingly of this are far and few between here in the northeast. We had one retired priest in residence in our Parish who during a homily stated he never saw or encountered evil spirits. That the evil spirits described in the Bible were metaphorical. Thankfully, he is no longer assigned to us.

"The Barbarian hopes - and that is the mark of him - that he can have his cake and eat it too. He will consume what civilization has slowly produced after generations of selection and effort, but he will not be at pains to replace such goods, nor indeed has he a comprehension of the virtue that has brought them into being. Discipline seems to him irrational, on which account he is ever marvelling that civilization, should have offended him with priests and soldiers... In a word, the Barbarian is discoverable everywhere in this, that he cannot make: that he can befog and destroy but that he cannot sustain; and of every Barbarian in the decline or peril of every civilization exactly that has been true.
"We sit by and watch the barbarian. We tolerate him in the long stretches of peace, we are not afraid. We are tickled by his irreverence; his comic inversion of our old certitudes and our fixed creed refreshes us; we laugh. But as we laugh we are watched by large and awful faces from beyond, and on these faces there are no smiles." - Hilaire Belloc

Think about the vices and diversions of contemporary life. Consumerism, media, pathos pleas used to try and destroy the traditional family and social mores proven to make our society better over time. They are all designed to do one thing- distract from the truth. To have a factual, truthful argument today is almost impossible. Fallacy is driven by pathos. Media is driven to distract and divert from verifiable truths. The internet has been corrupted, and is being used to push people away from the truth and towards cultish mendacity. Disagreement and dissent, the basis of truthful argumentation is not tolerated, and the forces of evil are trying to wipe it out. One has to ask themselves why only to find the answer.

You're still blinded by a secular materialist view of the world, one that expect magic to manifest as an 8d6 fireball, save vs spell for half damage.
It's much more subtle than that. Witches are about rejecting God, creating an alternative morality based on sexual license and the pursuit of power and pleasure. The results of that are quite real, and their spells have convinced a great many women that abortion is the most essential "right" they ever posses, so much so that even silent prayer against it must be suppressed.
I'd argue that outright banning Christian prayer is a hell of a lot more powerful than casting a fireball.

Thank you. I feel compelled by the Lord to share my experiences as He has brought so much peace into my life. There is such a magnificent, comforting relief from the many challenges, pressures and distresses of this world that comes with a truthful relationship with God. I only wish more people would take a moment to think about it. If He can save me, He can save anyone.

I think that's a total misreading of what happened in Michigan. Like just about everyone else, the Church assumed the experts knew what they were doing, and made what was felt to be a prudent choice.
As the truth became clear, resistance within the Church increased and the leadership realized they'd been duped, which is why Whitmer's blasphemy was strongly denounced by the Michigan bishops and people went to her house and prayed the Rosary.
That reservoir of good will is gone.

Mom update - LTC insurance application was denied. I'm not sure they requested or received all the documentation that should have been taken into account. I'm planning to file an appeal but I'm not good at this sort of thing. I was hoping to start some in-home professional help going before it gets to the point that I can't look after her. Because at that point, the funds are going to run out quickly if paying all out of pocket.
We continue to plod along tolerably well, but her memory is clearly declining and she has lost all initiative and much of her energy. (Possibly anemic again...) I do not know how hard to "push" her to do things. On the positive side she remains sweet and usually cheerful, and still mobile - but she really needs to move more. Thanks for listening (reading)

It’s not easy. There is a lot of “letting go” that has to happen. As a person who is used to try and control the things around him I can tell you it was a journey. But it was perhaps one He wanted me to make. Because I’m stubborn, hard headed, obstinate and a driven type “A”. It takes a lot of prayer, commitment and contemplation. It takes a lot of discarding the past, often until you by rock bottom and find yourself on your knees. But it’s worth it because He will then build you up.

I enjoyed his round of golf with the pro better. That was Trump just being a guy.
At one point, Trump turned the interview onto Rogan and they just talked about the greatest fighters for a while. Other than that, Rogan couldn't break Trump out of his campaign soundbites very often.
Rogan was pressing on the JFK files and Trump mentioned there were also MLK files. That was something I hadn't heard before.

The actual scope of the steal was quite small, concentrated in five cities. With greater scrutiny and what appears to be a much larger lead, it will be harder to pull off this time.
I also think the reason these things are being found so early is that a lot of people who really believed Orange Man Bad now are terrified at the prospect of Harris winning.
There's also a new calculus in terms of getting caught. We now know that Bill Barr saw his job as protecting the FBI, not investigating it. So even if Trump had won, the DoJ would have tried to prevent any investigation or prosecution. That is no longer the case. Trump will clean house and people will do hard time if caught.

The WaPo and the LA Times have both declined to endorse her. That's going to demoralize the base and make independents that favor her reconsider. Her campaign was built as a referendum on Trump. She offered no serious policy changes, couldn't answer a question about anything other than abortion, and there are reports that swing state senators and congresscritters are being told to run against Biden Harris.
The big polling firms have been lying about how close it is and will do a final correction so that they don't look stupid, just as they always do.

She’s supposed to give some “closing argument” on the Capitol Mall that day, and after that she’ll show up at a couple concerts by leftie musicians like Springsteen. Which will mostly consist of them performing and her walking out, waving, and the going back stage. Real high intensity stuff, I tell ya.
What’s she going to say in her speech? Rest assured, anyone here today already knows it by heart and could write it far more coherently than she will be able to do.
Posted by: Tom Servo at October 26, 2024 09:55 AM (S6gqv)
I don't know that I would call it wrapping things up but she is scheduled to give her big final closing argument speech on Tuesday on the National Mall.
I do think she like everyone else can see the handwriting on the wall. She has zero momentum, she's not even getting the standard Democrat newspaper endorsements and she's getting battered in early voting including places like Nevada. I don't want to jump the gun or get overconfident but I'm struggling to see a path for her to win and I'm sure her campaign has better, or worse as the case may be, internal polling than we are seeing.

Tuesday she is supposed to make a speech - her closing argument for the election according to the MSM - in DC at the same location as Trump's January 6th rally. I expect it will be TrumpHitler, TrumpHitler, January 6th, TrumpHitler, January 6th, January 6th, January 6th, TrumpHitler, TrumpHitler. Plus some abortion, abortion, abortion, of course.
She's doing it a week out from the election to try to influence remaining probable early voters, and for anti-Trump soundbites for new ads and for the MSM to run non-stop for 7 days.
Posted by: Gref at October 26, 2024 09:56 AM (aBgBM)
He made two points:
Calling Trump literally Hitler, with Kamala Harris explicitly stating that Trump is bad as the guy who killed six million Jews, is not an electoral argument.
Kamala has basically conceded the election, and is now preparing the public for the Democrats' refusal to turn over power to Trump.
After all, you don't cede power to Adolph Hitler - look what happened to Germany when the Germans did that.
Also, Judge Merchan (remember him?) still has a sentencing hearing for Trump at the end of November. (Steyn says the hearing is a week after Election Day, but I think he's wrong about that.)
It seems quite possible that this vindictive "judge" may order Trump to be imprisoned in Rikers, even if Trump has been elected President.
The solution to Steyn's arguments, of course, is to have Trump win by as large a margin as possible (including a victory in the popular vote), to make these shenanigans look as illegitimate as possible. That matters.

Yet I know a lot of people are very anxious about the outcome, no doubt due to the disappointments of 2020 and 2022. Everyone fears the cheat.
However, I think those events happened for a reason. The disappointment of 2022 led me to a deeper, more fulfilling prayer life and my family as well. It also caused evil to become more brazen and bold, forcing people to pay attention. The way I see it, our country has become mired in wickedness and sin, and being Catholic, I don't believe that simply repenting is enough. There has to be redress as well, a penance for the harm caused.
So it may well happen that we're only getting started on the road, and with millions of dead children caused by our wanton pursuit of sexual license and pleasure, we can only agree that it is right and just.

By the way, congratulations to Salem for being named the Number One Halloween town, and Salem is interesting in that it has a strong Wiccan community, a vampire sub culture, and then there are the Weres.
This is a group which uses everything from ritual to chaos to sex magic to transform their forms, and while many of you may be dismissive, there does appear to be a goodly amount of evidence that people can assume animal forms. We know this from the Native cultures like the Navajo with their yee naaldlooshii or Skin Walkers.
In the Four Corners area, Skinwalkers are a real concern and there is a recent book by a Navajo ranger called: The Paranormal Ranger: A chilling memoir of investigations into the paranormal in Navajoland, which will be an eye opening experience for many of you.
I've heard the two rangers: Stanley Milford and Jonathan Dover,
and they are the real deal. Check them out on YouTube or on Podcaasts.

The James Madison and Dave in Fla have been watching the polls and giving very useful insights. To give a very abbreviated summary, the greatest weakness in polling today is that all pollsters run their raw results through a calculated formula which predicts the general makeup of the voters (R, D, I and likely/not likely). If these assumptions are wrong, the ill results are worthless and could be off by 10 or 20 points in any direction.
Early returns so far are showing voter makeup that is nothing like what had been assumed til now. You don’t have to predict an outcome to say with certainty that Polling as an industry a is broken, and results this year are little more than dart throwing. The pollsters who are realizing this have settled on calling it 50/50 because that’s the easiest way to hedge their bets - but they have no idea where this is going.

The solution might be a bit simpler. I don't know how many have seen it but the appeals hearing proceedings were published online a few weeks ago and let's just day it did not go well for Bragg. The judges were extremely dubious of the charges brought against Trump and asked if there had been any precedent for these types of charges, exactly who was damaged by Trump since it sure as hell wasn't the banks and a series of other issues where they case extreme doubt on the entire case.
I don't think the appeals judges are big Trump supporters but I do think they are worried that a clown case like this one completely untethered from the law and reality is a dangerous precedent to establish for the business community in NYC. And if Trump wins big they might decide the path of least resistance is just to put an end to this farce.

What he doesn’t see is that any attempt to pull a Maduro/Venezuela solution will lead to the fast breakup of the country. Suppose DC refuses to certify Trump - well Texas and Florida will recognize him almost immediately, to be joined by at least 2/3 of the states. So then there would be two competing American governments competing for legitimacy; how far into civil conflict do they think they can push this? Contrary to what some believe, the US Army is NOT positioned to capture multiple major US cities.

But it's mostly a question of expectations, details, and emotions - and some unknown unknowns. It appears that the Israeli operation was a pretty powerful hit against air defenses, and select high-value military-industrial targets of direct relevance to Israel (long range missile and drone development and production).
And whatever the expectation/perception situation, it clearly has strategery behind it. Iran was left shorn of much of its air defenses, even as Israel demo'd (again) that it can strike anywhere in Iran it chooses. Valuable assets directly relevant to the war on Israel were hit.
So now Tehran can "retaliate" - and face more destruction of valuable assets - or play down the results/claim a defensive victory (this is the tone, so far), and validate perception of regional players that Israel now has the initiative and the upper hand.

The physical cowardice of the left is a major obstacle to things getting spicy. Antifa could only operate in a permissive environment. The generals are careerist cowards who have to wonder if their troops will turn on them.
Above all that, everyone's tired of it all, and I think a lot of Trump's normalization has been because the left is so completely loopy, lying about absolutely everything, making food expensive, crime surge, etc. They're forcing people who normally would not vote to do so as a matter of personal survival.

Syrian and Iraqi airspace was used, no need for Jordan's.

Hamas launched a war of annihilation and is getting what they asked for. I do not follow the situation and I will be honest, while I generally pray for peace, I think the issue of Israel must finally be settled at sword point for good.
These endless cease-fires, brushfire conflict, terror strikes have to end in a decisive military victory. Nothing else will work. Trump will push Iran back into its corner, and that will lead to a true realization of how things are in the Middle East.
As a sidebar note, I hate American """analysts""" who are constantly saying "Oooh, Arabs be big mad NOW!" all the time. They did this over Iraq, and the Arab Street took a long nap. What terror attacks they generated were ones our inept security agencies ignored because they were too busy spying on hot chicks and arranging church massacres to justify gun control.

Israel has been dismantling Iran's most important assets - which are not in Iran. Their key proxies, and long-perceived trump cards deterring Israeli attack, Hamas but especially Hezbollah. This continues (real concern if any, to me, should focus on Israel settling for less than a decisive and comprehensive destruction of Hezbollah).
Iran's credibility and perceived power have already been greatly reduced. Last night much of their air defense was eliminated (and shown to be helpless against Israel), and key offensive assets damaged.
Now Tehran can either "retaliate" - with a good chance their attack will further demonstrate their inferiority, as the earlier mass attack did - and surely face severe Israeli action against which they are helpless. Or they can dismiss the results of the Israeli operation (as they are right now) and take another L and not respond.

He's very popular and his audience is peak low-engagement, undecided voters. If a tiny fraction are swayed by him being on the show, it will be felt.
Harris refused to do it, because she knew she could end her campaign. Like her decision to cut bait on the Al Smith Dinner, her cowardice also carried a heavy price.
I know a lot of Trump fans were thrilled when it was announced.

Beyonce's few seconds of talk was about keeping her credit with Her Betters in the entertainment,ent industry.
But, also becuz Harris is such a suckhole of fail, she didn't want to damage her reputation with fans, so a short ho-dee-do! and she was out.
If Harris was really winning or even close, Beyonce probably would've done a quick 15-20 minute set at the least.

A Kilometer-Long Tunnel Complex discovered in Southern Lebanon, which would have been used by Hezbollah’s Elite “Radwan Force” for an Invasion of Northern Israel, was Destroyed this morning by Israeli Combat Engineers using over 400 Tons of Explosives. The Explosion was so Powerful that it caused Earthquake Alerts across Northern Israel, and was felt by Seismic Detectors in Eilat.

A few months ago, the New York Times elliptically referred to a proposed Ukrainian attack inside Russia that caused the United States to warn Russia about the proposed attack (to make it clear that we had no part of this), as well as sternly telling Ukraine not to do it.
Makes me wonder if it was a WMD attack, and we were worried that that really would cross Russia's nuclear red line.

As noted the key thing now is how thorough Israel will be in Lebanon. Anything short of complete destruction and/or dismantlement of Hezb would be criminally negligent, as it would just be guaranteeing future pain.
But as in the past, seems there is a spectacular under-appreciation of how key myths and perceptions and mind-prisons have been obliterated (just as in 1991 and 2003).
Iran's vital proxy (Hezb) has been shattered and the feared mass destruction in Israel averted, the key psychological line of direct attack on Iran has been erased, and Israeli superiority and seizure of the initiative clear to all.

He is a wildly successful comedian, a UFC guy, kind of a gym bro who is interested in health, interested in being mentally healthy, and seems pretty tired of bullshit and things being hidden. He also respects bravery and honesty.
Lot of guys, and a lot of guys who are not being well served by the industrial education, industrial media, industrial food and medicine, and industrial "lifestyle" being pushed.
One of the things a culture is supposed to do is to give an OJT position to young men as they learn how to be part of society. What that has become now is to exclude them as threats instead, and force them into permanent subservient roles. Rogan and a few others seem to be reluctantly giving young men back tools and encouragement to start learning on their own.

The second is that Hamas tried to push a sort of "Sepoy Rebellion" bringing in all the elements against the Israeli and their allies through a grand coalition of grievance partners - and there is indications that Hamas was doing this inside Israel as well as in neighboring countries.
The third was that it was a paid for and arranged demonstration that was supposed to capture US military personnel in Israel as a way to both draw the US into close involvement in Israel and neuter any response just like the Iranian seizure of the US Embassy all those years ago. This would also serve the Neocon strategy of building up countering influences in a region, and then kicking the new allies in the crotch when they got big enough to risk being strong enough to be the local regional power in turn.
The third option requires trials, convictions and hangings.

I'm not sure what Dooby is using for her 3d work. She has an entire home studio set up to match her 3d set, and she can climb around inside that virtual train. She even has an electric car of some kind that she can ride on that is linked to a miniature 3d train on screen.
That's all pretty complicated though, not to mention expensive. Most vtubers use software called Live2d https://www.live2d.com/en/ or VTube Studio https://denchisoft.com/ since those don't require an elaborate setup. You just need a good webcam or smart phone to track your face and hands, and a 2d model that has been "rigged" to move the same way you do.
All of this is done live, which is why it's so popular. The streamer can be talking and responding to viewers while in their virtual character.

Not sure what the tech is these days, but two years ago, you had a "face rig" of some kind to motion-capture and software translated that into animation.
Think Gollum but with anime girls.
Posted by: pookysgirl, not sure what her preciousss anime would be at October 26, 2024 04:24 AM (dtlDP)
The main difference to 3d motion tracking in movies is this is all (or at least mostly) done live.

Trump has to meet a very high bar to rule as our most authoritarian President ever. If he sends an ethnic minority to internment camps, tries to pack the Court, and stays in office for four terms, he’ll still only be tied.

None of the traditional attacks worked, then the non-traditional attacks didn't work, then the really offensive impossible stuff didn't work, so then they quickly moved to what we've been experiencing for a decade which basically amounts to just constant screaming.
People mistake it as being because they "hate" Trump but it's really because they needed to shut him up. And by shut him up I mean color everything he says so people tune it out or get influenced not to listen. The guy is a force of nature.
Going on Rogan a week before the election is genius. I will keep saying that if he is allowed to win and I'm not sure he will be, they have something in the can so big and ridiculous and planned that it will be the only thing talked about every day just like Russia, then impeachment, then covid was. I don't know what it will be but I have my suspicions. They cannot let Trump assume power *and* control of any portion of narrative.

These people can't count. Trump is, what, 78? He wouldn't live to see even twelve more years as President. (Though knowing what a force of nature he is, he might!) Unless this clown means four years more of Trump, then eight of Vance -- but he doesn't say that.

I don't remember the TV networks' reaction to Reagan, since I paid no attention to "news" then. But I know magazines like Playboy certainly made fun of him, predicted he was going to spearhead a new "religious right" movement that would turn America into a theocracy, etc. Falwell's Moral Majority came in for target practice, and the editors at PB pretty much equated RR to the MM. (I can't believe I fell for it, some of it, back then.)

Worse than usual, you mean? I dunno. She was a blue giant star for a week around the time of the Dem convention. Then she exploded and collapsed into a white dwarf, and now a black hole. (I may have the exact details of the physics wrong, that a star can't do both. But the metaphor is apt.)

These people can't count. Trump is, what, 78? He wouldn't live to see even twelve more years as President. (Though knowing what a force of nature he is, he might!) Unless this clown means four years more of Trump, then eight of Vance -- but he doesn't say that.

No, Vermeule is alluding to Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Another thing FDR did was send Jews back to Nazi Germany when he wouldn't allow that passenger liner to make port in 1939-ish (name of the ship escapes me right now).
Vermeule is making the point that FDR wasn't the saint the Democrats have portrayed him as.

Are used to think when I first learned this list many years ago the Chinese was simple because it would just take out. It turns out that Chinese may be the most cuisine ever. The poor people never get it.
French went out of style back in the 1980s in America. From our founding to the 1980s, anyone would tell you that French was best. The world that surprised me on the list was Chinese, but the more I thought about it, was right.

Unfortunately, 1201 exemptions are not permanent. They're only valid until the next rulemaking session in three years but can be extended if the conditions that prompted them are still present.

Even with all the discussion which I love, I stand by my list that Chinese, French, Italian, and Mexican Or the top four world cuisines. As many of said here, you can get crap from a restaurant and really good stuff in a home. You can get really good stuff in a Russian home if the lady knows how to cook. You can also get great Russian food in a really good restaurant, I have tried some of their recipes and they are brilliant.
But the four I mentioned our cuisines people eat all over the world all the time. In any legitimate country, you will have restaurants that serve those four cuisines. I am not saying they are necessarily better though they kind of are because they did it first. Also, all four of those countries are foodie countries. I don’t want to crap on Latin America, but just as an example, considering the immigration to this country, There is a huge difference from authentic Mexican and Latin American. The second cuisine can be great I

Jeff Bezos personally intervened to stop The Washington Post from endorsing a candidate, after the editorial board had drafted their endorsement for Harris.
The paper's page editor David Shipley had already approved an endorsement of Harris and had reportedly told colleagues that it was being reviewed by the paper's owner Jeff Bezos, according to NPR.
The Washington Post has itself reported that the decision was down to Jeff Bezos.
It marks the first time the paper hasn’t endorsed a candidate in 36 years. Source: NPR

Bravery is being part crazy, yes. I met a MOH recipient once. A corpsman. He was in a bomb crater in VN trying to keep 5 wounded alive for another 5 minutes. A grenade got lobbed in the crater. He jumped on the grenade and held it to his belly.
5 guys (who lived to tell) saw it all happen.
The grenade did not explode.
He said himself that he was certifiably crazy to have done that, in retrospect. No rational person would have done it.

I often hear people say “I used to believe the media lies about Trump, but now I love him”
This is why this new movie “The Man You Don’t Know” is so important
It shows the sides of President Trump that the media doesn’t want America to see from people who know him best
Tickets are on presale now until the 25th when it hits theaters this Friday

“Mairzy Doats” is a novelty song written and composed in 1943 by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston. It contains lyrics that make no sense as written, but are near homophones of meaningful phrases. The song's title, for example, is a homophone of "Mares eat oats".
The song's refrain, as written on the sheet music, seems meaningless:
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
However, the lyrics of the bridge provide a clue:
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear, a little bit jumbled and jivey,
Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy."
This hint allows the ear to translate the final line as "a kid'll eat ivy, too; wouldn't you?"

Similar to my thinking.
If you take it in half-hour/day segments, you can get through it by next weekend.
I've still got the hour-long Jordan Peterson Psychological Analysis of Trump’s Personality in queue as well. Then there's the nearly-daily 1½-hour Trump rally speeches.
And I got a copy of Deadpool and Wolverine here that's at the bottom of the viewing list.
Let's see, if I skip sleep, eating, and walking the dog for a few weeks…
Ah! I know! View everything at 2x speed. That'll help.

In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel—right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran.
The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th—on seven fronts—including direct attacks from Iranian soil.
Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond.
Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized.
We will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel.

Israel Defense Forces @IDF 12h
⭕️The IDF struck Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites in the Jousieh border crossing the northern Beqaa area overnight, using precision munitions to minimize harm to uninvolved civilians.
Hezbollah exploits the Jousieh civilian crossing, which is under the control of the Syrian regime and is operated by Syrian military security, to transfer weapons from Syria to Lebanon by Hezbollah’s 4400 Unit and carry out numerous terrorist operations against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.
The IDF will continue to operate to thwart Hezbollah’s weapons transfers and urges Syrian and Lebanese authorities to prevent the Hezbollah terrorist organization's unrestricted movement between the two countries.

This appears to have been a Very Limited Response by Israel against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Sites located around the Iranian Capital of Tehran, we likely won’t know the Extent of the Damage until Daylight, but it sounds as through a Surface-to-Air Missile Site as well as an Airbase near Tehran were some of the Targets.

Two Arab Sources have told NBC News that it appears an Initial Strike by Israel against the Iranian Capital of Tehran, has Targeted a Barracks or Office and a Weapons Depot of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The Iranian regime has been fulminating in its typical way for weeks about the brutal response they would make to any attacks. Actually, they've clumsily signaled weakness, as they often do, by differentiating between different kinds of Israel strikes and the response they would generate.
I don't think Israeli leadership actually for a second uses the ridiculous false framework of "escalation", "proportionality", etc. They've been developing strike plans for a decade or more and are working their plan, or some parts of it.

And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.

If Iran's last missile fest was any indication - and they may well not be able even to match that, in volume, this time - their response could easily further reinforce their "weak horse" image.

Fifth Circuit: Only Ballots Received by Election Day May Be Counted; It Is Illegal and Unconstitutional To Count "Votes" Recieved After Election Day
The left has been fighting to count votes received four or five or more days after the constitutionally-specified election day.
This appeals court covers Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. It doesn't cover that state I mentioned the other day that will count votes four days after the election. However, this ruling could cause other courts to adopt this rule, or the Supreme Court to impose it on them. The below tweet is incorrect -- a circuit appeals court's decision is only binding on the jurisdictions of the circuit. Sometimes a rinky-dink trail court judge will claim a decision binds the entire nation everywhere. We call those "Hawaiian judges." I've noticed a lot of those decisions get vacated.We'll have to see. There aren't many days left for litigation!
BREAKING: The 5th Circuit Court just ruled that ballots MUST be received by Election Day and any state laws that allow them to be received and counted after Election Day violate federal law

Unless SCOTUS jumps in with an emergency stay this is going to stand for at least the next few weeks. There is literally no time for a full hearing by the 5th circuit court before election day and no other court has any cases before them to make a contrary ruling.

Now, Oregon has joined Washington in saying that they will count all ballots merely postmarked by 8 PM on Election Day, so ballots can keep being received for a week or so after the election.
Remarkably in both Oregon and Washington, ballots received after Election Day break very, very sharply to the Left.
It's the strangest thing.

is it an Executive Branch agency?
I know this is wish casting, but could you just decree that the US Mail is not allowed to handle voting ballots anymore?
I mean, we have "Registered Mail" because even the Post Office is admitting, the mail isn't all that secure. You would be stupid to send cash in the mail, but our whole democracy is basically in the hands of a joke of a government agency that was never equipped to handle voting ballots or have a secure chain of custody.

You're going to hear from many political experts, pundits, and pollsters telling you why President Trump is surging and going to win.
None are going to give you the raw, simple truth.
After Biden and Kamala's record inflation, the message needed for Trump to win became very simple.
Yes, the policy positions are huge, but those weren't what was going to make or break Trump.
The number one objective was to allow the public to see Donald Trump through a different lens and remove the fear that the media had instilled in voters over the course of the previous 8 years.
If you want to know what's at the foundation of "Trump Derangement Syndrome," it's fear. This one emotion is responsible for 90% of the affliction. Scared people aren't rational or logical. They're terrified and consumed by their fear.
Thus, the single objective was to remove the fear from enough Americans regarding Trump "the man" to allow them a pathway psychologically away from fear.
How do you accomplish this?

Amen to that
Posted by: jsg at October 25, 2024 07:07 PM (iIQ61)
Firstly, you meme him relentlessly as lovable characters whom Americans identify with. Over and over again, you reinforce the grandfather, father, husband, and friend, aspect of Trump.
Simultaneously, as you build this image through video, pictures and music, you reinforce the reality of this by having President Trump make appearances at small businesses all across America, and allow normal voters access to him.
Dictators and tyrants don't allow ordinary citizens access to them. They don't invite normal people to their homes for events, and they don't give them access to photo opportunities and random run-ins at campaign events.
The last two+ years have been about teaching the public about Trump the man, while allowing this American legend to get comfortable allowing the people to see him vulnerable and kind.
Once these two objectives were accomplished, the media stranglehold on the public was broken.
If you ever wonder why I respond so poorly to people black pilling and pushing doom porn, the above is why. Fear is contagious, debilitating, and highly inaccurate. It's also limiting and is the root cause of most failure feedback loops.

The solution to fear is action. When we take action, we're no longer slaves to the fantasy of fear.
Donald Trump is just a man. He is flawed like anyone else.
However, he is quite literally a living legend that is leading the entire country out of decades of darkness.
Vote Trump and give America a chance to flourish.

Pennsylvania county halts hundreds of potentially fraudulent voter registration forms, Updated October 25, 20243:03 PM ET, By NPR Washington Desk
In part, "Officials in Lancaster County in the swing state of Pennsylvania say they identified hundreds of potentially fraudulent voter registration applications.
"Suspected fraudulent voter registration forms were dropped off at the Board of Elections Office in two batches at or near the deadline for submission," the board said in a statement on Friday. "There are approximately 2,500 voter registration applications total in these two batches."
It's unclear how many of the applications in the two batches are alleged to be fraudulent."

They covered and blacked out all the windows and hiring people for $25 an hour. Guess where the location is right next door to, the building is attached… The Post Office
He tried to ask what they’re doing and they yelled at him to “Get out of here” — “Two guys in here. They won't tell you what's going on, but I asked them for a job. They told me no. Get out of here”
“They're hiding everything they do.”

All this likening of Trump to Hitler has got me looking back to my 2011 posts, when Wisconsinites likened Governor Scott Walker to Hitler.
From March 19, 2011: "Scott Walker is like Hitler because 'he doesn't do nice things'" (the quote is from a young protester, in a video interview by Meade).
From February 17, 2011: "Scott Walker compared to Hitler" (with video of Meade questioning a woman who is carrying a sign portraying showing Walker with a Hitler mustache).

Statement On Lancaster:
It’s been brought to my attention that Lancaster County has uncovered a voter registration fraud operation.
According to the report, the majority of those 2,500 voter registration applications were turned in at or near the deadline & are dated August 15th.
I can unequivocally state that this has nothing to do with @EarlyVoteAction.
Our staff turn in voter registration forms as we register voters.
The most forms we’ve ever turned in at one time was 400 in Luzerne County — right before we flipped it from 🔵 🔜 🔴.
At a recent Luzerne County BOE meeting, the manager revealed that an individual turned in a large quantity of forms on the deadline that were dated back to June. This had no connection to @EarlyVoteAction, either. (This batch should also be reviewed.)
I’m proud that our organization has registered tens of thousands of new Pennsylvania voters this cycle.

The reason why democrats are attacking us is because we’re effective. They’re also attacking us because their voter registration advantage is the lowest it’s been in 50 years & their mail-in ballot “firewall” is severely lagging.
Furthermore, we’ve made a concerted effort to register the Amish to vote in Lancaster — a group that democrat Governor Shapiro & the Dept. of Agriculture is waging a war against.
We look forward to hearing the results of this investigation & who is responsible. Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a democrat organization.
In the meantime, vote, vote early, vote by mail, & let’s deliver Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.

is it an Executive Branch agency?
Posted by: Blago
Yes, the USPS is quasi governmental.
It "answers to" the Postal Service Board of Governors. As the governing body of the Postal Service, the 11-member Board of Governors has responsibilities comparable to the board of directors of a publicly held corporation. The Board includes nine Governors appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate.
(about usps com/who/leadership/board governors/ - insert two dots and then one dash after the word "board")
The Executive Leadership Team contains the Postmaster General & 10 executives. Then there's the Leadership Organization with nifty organizational charts.
There are nine collective bargaining agreements with seven unions covering approximately 550,000 career employees.

I'm curious about the rationale for needing to accept ballots that are days late (if one was even given). Does this tie into the racist trope that black people are too stupid to get a government ID?
Are black people also considered by the left to be too stupid to find a mailbox so that they can submit a timely ballot?
The contempt that the Dems have for blacks on their plantation knows no bounds.

I am going to disagree with you.
Within a HOA there is talent enough to get rid of the management company. They exist to do minor tasks and sit on the money. Money in the management company's hands is their goal.
I was President of a Reston, VA HOA (Control freak central) and ran it in such a way that the residents had low dues, less hassle, and the good stuff like trash, street lights, paving, was done. For 5 terms totaling 10 years. It was relaxation for me.
Not a lot of rebellion or grumbling from the residents, as I loved to explain why the actions taken were decided on.

The rational is that some people mail it on election day, so it does not arrive until a few days later. There is also a concern that the postal service is not up to the task of delivering intracity mail in less than 2 weeks.
The real reason is that they understand that if an election is close, Dems have the ability to harvest as many votes as are needed. Also they do "curing" where they correct any ballots that have improper ID, etc. and they want to do this as long as it takes for a Dem win.
The main goal though is chaos enable fraud.

In a statement, the IDF says it is carrying out “precise strikes” on Iranian military targets, in response to “months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel.”
“The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th – on seven fronts – including direct attacks from Iranian soil,” the military says.
“Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond,” the statement continues.
The IDF says its “defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized,” and that it “will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel.”

No there isn’t. The Post office has been handling elections since 1796. They know how to do this and is almost trivial.
The concern has shifted to “drop boxes” that have no chain of custody nor postmarks nor anything else, really. They are generically called “mail in” or maybe euphemistically called “Mail in” but they are just bins placed by golly knows who and picked up etc.

It's the voter's responsibility to properly execute their ballot. If they fail, their vote doesn't count. Period. Duh. There is no conceivable system in which "curing" or adjudicating ballots would be credible or reliable. It's absurd that any of this was ever allowed to start.
And of course mail-ins are ridiculous and should be banned. Rigorously authenticated absentee ballots - which IIRC always had to be into the county by election day - are the only exception.

Only problem is, there is one voting bloc which does vote by mail WITHOUT dated postmarks. Military voters posted overseas. Free mail, you see, granted by congress. Which voting bloc historically votes more (R) than (D).
So..... the letters asked their minions to reject as "too late" any votes Florida received from military voters from overseas hardship posts.... or from gallifrian Timelords.
Now... technically..... this was following the Letter Of The Law. however legal precedent was to count those votes and not disenfranchise Florida military voters. The majority of the (D) minions ignored the instructions. Count Every Vote - unless it's a likely not Hillary vote it seems.

When I was in the service, military ballots in my Kansas hometown of record were held in a locked box. Only if there was a vote difference smaller than the number of military ballots were the votes counted.

What a waste of a holiday.
So which is it, all mail in (so no need to take a day off,) or you take a day off?
I am against a holiday because we have to get back to basics with very very localized voting. Assigned precincts/stations that are so local everyone can stop by on their way to or from work. Or for lunch for those that work near home.
Our main problem is that we centralized and stretched out voting so that there is no real oversight. The ballots should be secure and under eyes from the time it leaves the voter's hands, until it is counted (also under public view, usually in the form of "watchers" designated by the parties.)
Mail-in hands the security to the postal workers - big mistake.
Extended voting hands security to gov. employees. - bigger mistake.
Centralized vote counting hands security to big city machine - biggest mistake.

It's the voter's responsibility to properly execute their ballot. If they fail, their vote doesn't count. Period. Duh. There is no conceivable system in which "curing" or adjudicating ballots would be credible or reliable. It's absurd that any of this was ever allowed to start.
And of course mail-ins are ridiculous and should be banned. Rigorously authenticated absentee ballots - which IIRC always had to be into the county by election day - are the only exception.

The UK Just Arrested Someone for Praying Silently
Russia is our enemy because they're anti-freedom and interfere in our elections, huh?
What about the UK?She Was Arrested for Praying in Her Head Citizens in the UK have been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for silently praying outside abortion clinics. Even organizing pro-life meetings in your own home may be a criminal offense. By Madeleine Kearns October 24, 2024 Emma has strong feelings about abortion: She wears T-shirts that say things like "Pro-life and Proud." A devout Catholic, she is a trustee of a pro-life activism group and regularly holds planning meetings at her flat in Edinburgh, Scotland. On her way to work at an office in the center of town, the 24-year-old passes the abortion facility at nearby Chalmers Hospital. Sometimes, she prays with rosary beads as she walks by. But now she's worried she could get arrested in her neighborhood--for wearing that T-shirt, for holding those meetings, or even for praying in her head. On October 4, Emma, who asked not to be named, got a letter from the Scottish government. Addressed "Dear Resident," its purpose was to alert her that her home, due to its proximity to the hospital, is now in an abortion censorship zone. This is due to the UK's brand-new "Safe Access" law, which came into effect September 24 and made it a criminal offense to do anything within 200 meters of an abortion facility that could "influence" someone's decision to access, provide, or facilitate an abortion. In the Scottish government's letter, Emma read that even "activities in a private place (such as a house) within the area could be an offence if they can be seen or heard within the Zone and are done intentionally or recklessly." "You can report a group or an individual that you think is breaking the law," the letter added, before providing instructions on how to do so. Emma couldn't believe her eyes. The law carries a maximum fine of £10,000 (over $13,000). In June, it passed in The Scottish Parliament by 118 votes to one, following in the footsteps of Northern Ireland, which became the first country in the UK to enforce abortion censorship legislation last year. The rest of the UK is doing the same: On October 31, a similar law will come into effect in England and Wales; it was passed by Parliament in 2023. In these countries, the fine will be unlimited. All of this legislation codifies--on a national level--a trend that has been creeping across the UK for a decade. Ten years ago, in 2014, Parliament empowered local councils to create and police their own antisocial behavior laws. The intention was to enhance "the professional capabilities and integrity of the police." But since 2018, five UK districts have used these powers to aggressively limit what people can do, say, and even think, near abortion clinics. I spoke to four people who have fallen afoul of these restrictions, and a disturbing pattern emerged. In November 2022, Adam Smith-Connor, now 51, a physiotherapist and veteran, was interrogated by local authorities in Bournemouth, on the south coast of England, which had recently introduced an abortion censorship zone. His alleged crime was silently praying for three minutes while 50 meters from an abortion clinic. When council officers asked, "What is the nature of your prayer?" he replied: "I am praying for my son who is deceased," referring to his unborn child that he and his then-girlfriend decided to abort two decades ago.Related: Kamala called for abortion to be mandated across the US, with no exemptions for people of faith. In other words: Abortion is such a sacrament that nuns working in Catholic hospitals will be compelled to do Moloch's work.
Smith-Connor was charged with breaching the censorship zone. Earlier this month, on October 16, he was convicted and ordered to pay £9,000 (roughly $11,700) toward the prosecution's legal fees. He set up a page on a crowdfunding website, which raised the fee within hours. He and the lawyer supporting him are considering an appeal. The same day, also in Bournemouth, the trial of Livia Tossici-Bolt was due to begin. The retired scientist, who's 64, faces the same charges as Smith-Connor, but her alleged offense is standing outside an abortion clinic in March 2023 with a sign that simply read: "Here to talk, if you want." (Her trial was postponed to March 2025, to give both legal teams time to consider the implications of Smith-Connor's verdict.)
Forcing Catholic hospitals, which supply care to some of the most vulnerable populations, to perform abortions or shut their doors is literally the most vile thing a major party candidate has ever endorsed. https://t.co/LzrLymxOgv

And here's what I mean about the UK subverting what remains of our democracy: The British intelligence front group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), is a British and American funded effort to censor Americans, starting with Enemy Number One, Elon Musk. Oh, and they also ran "black ops" (as they themselves called them) against RFKJr. These are foreign nationals.
A bombshell report by seasoned journalists Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi revealed that one of CCDH’s “annual priorities” was to “kill Musk’s Twitter” and to drain its revenue stream by shaming and harassing advertisers away from the social media platform. pic.twitter.com/tQIZcfwoH5

By running covert operations aimed at shutting down a political candidate like… pic.twitter.com/Kxde7pBHFj
According to documents published in America by investigative reporters Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi, "British advisers to Kamala Harris hope to 'kill [Elon] Musk's Twitter'", demonstrating that "England, not Russia, is the culprit in a real foreign election interference story." They aren't referring to the British Labour volunteers said to be assisting the Democratic candidate's presidential bid, but instead to the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a pro-censorship charity and campaign group co-founded in 2018 by Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney. The political advisor is here ascribed quasi-magical powers, such that "no political operative in the Western hemisphere is more in demand than Starmer's 'Rasputin', regularly hailed as a genius." To British eyes, that and other claims in the article -- including that Starmer's election victory "relied heavily" on the CCDH -- look overblown. The organisation played no discernible part in Labour's campaign, while McSweeney stepped down as a CCDH director on 6 April 2020, two days after Starmer became leader of the Labour Party. But in a recent and thus far unpublished conversation with me, Imran Ahmed, a former Parliamentary aide who also co-founded the CCDH and serves as its chief executive, said a number of things that free speech advocates less radical than Elon Musk may find worrying. He spoke of his "five-year plan" to make social media platforms "accountable" for their content, and to make it impossible for anyone to generate revenue from what the CCDH classes as "hate speech". By this term, Ahmed doesn't just mean overt expressions of racism or other prejudices, but rather what he calls "lies" and "disinformation". In his view, "lies and hate are inextricably linked." What's more, a glance at the CCDH website will confirm that its definition of lies is unusually expansive. It includes, for example, "the new climate denial" -- not denial per se of the proposition that human beings and the greenhouse gases we emit cause global warming, but challenges to Government policies that are supposedly going to fix it. According to Ahmed and the CCDH, these "lies" are "welcomed, enabled, and often funded by oil and gas tycoons", and thus undermine "the politicians doing the hard work to green our economic models and incentives". ... Thacker and Taibbi's smoking gun was a set of leaked CCDH documents suggesting that "killing" Twitter/X really is high on its agenda, and has been for months. In April, a US federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Musk brought against the CCDH for supposedly costing it tens of millions of dollars in revenue after it exposed alleged "lies and misinformation" on X. This -- with no irony intended -- Ahmed portrayed as a famous victory for free speech. When the CCDH was founded, Ahmed told me, few people took social media content seriously. Speaking of the spread of antisemitism, especially since the Hamas attack on Israel in October last year, he said it was now evident we had entered a "nuclear age of disinformation and hate". ....I have long been an Anglophile, but I ask the question again, seriously: Why are we willing to risk a nuclear war with Russia for spending $150,000 on FaceBook ads, when a British intelligence front group is working to suppress Americans' most basic freedom? Maybe we should start thinking about a new enemy. If the warmongers will always demand we declare some country an enemy and escalate against it, why not the UK? Meanwhile, Microsoft has a new "expert" advising it on "disinformation:" The grifter and anti-speech zealot who branded, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, thousands of Americans a "Russian agents" and pressured Twitter and the other social media companies to ban them. His claims were so extravagant and flimsy that even Twitter's old, leftwing "Safety" commissars branded them as specious and told people in the media (who were taking his claims and then pressuring Twitter to do his bidding) to stop listening to him.
More fundamental is his "five-year plan" to invigilate and regulate social media advertising. Ahmed cited channels that had made money from false claims about George Floyd's death, which he described as "racist disinformation merchants", as well as campaigns against Net Zero and "conspiracy theories" about Covid-19.
Some readers have probably noticed that Microsoft has recently become one of the leading retailers of lurid allegations about "Russian influence operations targeting U.S. elections".

They sorta did. Their stupid election system works in such a way where the party that got the most votes, and not by much, has about 80% of the seats, the party that got the second most, and only a bit more than the third, has about 15%, and the rest, including the third place part, which got, I think, somewhere around 20% of the vote, got 2% of the seats.

But if you are looking for actual allies, actual countries whose governments we can support, there are very few. Hungary, of course, and Argentina. Even Israel has too damned many wets and socialists (why won't they give Bibi a decent majority.)

The richest business oligarchs and leaders of every leftist movement from every western country don't go to the WEF/UN meetings ever year for the cocktail parties although I'm sure they are tip top. Western countries around the world aren't all experiencing mass illegal migration as a coincidence. This is the plan.

It seemed to get the South Korean panties in a bunch too, because governments are run by stupid people.

I didn't see this mentioned by Ace, but on Tucker's interview with Miranda Devine, she said that Fauci went to Daszak to run eco health because he was CIA and I guess a kind of cutout. So the CIA was really running the funding in Wuhan.

Calm down Johnny. I know you said that and maybe I learned it from you. The new part was that Daszak was CIA before he started eco health, and that ecohealth was a CIA front all along. It makes sense, but I had not hear anyone say it before.

The Real John Kelly: A Stupid, Power-Mad, Insubordinate Bully Who Blocked People From Speaking With Trump and Hid Proposals and Reports So That He Could Play Unelected President
From those who know him best:
Mark R. LevinFrom Peter Navarro's memoir:
@marklevinshow THE REAL JOHN KELLY Here's what a knowledgeable former White House staffer just texted me about John Kelly and his disastrous time as chief of staff: "The irony of John Kelly claiming Trump was dictatorial is almost too rich to digest. He personified a Napoleon complex in all its excesses! He daily had to approve guests to the Navy mess, approved or denied requests of staff to use White House exercise facility, insisted on signing off on all newspaper and magazine subscriptions, and demanded a daily summary of all websites visited by sr personnel. He was an out of control, obsessive control freak --- terribly insecure, past the point of paranoia, and after quickly spending his political capital with the boss -- went on incessant jihads to terminate all those he thought too close to POTUS that he could get away with. He refused to share phone logs with POTUS if they contained names he didn't want him speaking to -- it was ENDLESS. And there was the time he physically pushed past Ivanka, which was witnessed by several people. Ask ANYONE, Mark!"
Trump's four-star bully chief of staff John Kelly was a traitor within Peter Navarro October 25, 2024 Kelly's sensational claims about the president highlight his incompetence, mismanagement, and contempt for the chain of command.
No one knows former Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly better than I do. This bitter, bullying coward should be cast into the dustbin of history for once again smearing Donald Trump, just days before the most important election in modern American history. It may seem reasonable to assume a four-star general would make a good chief of staff, but that assumption is deeply flawed. Kelly invariably hated those closest to Trump. As chief of staff, he single-handedly turned Trump allies into bitter and viperous enemies. Four-star generals like Kelly typically reach the top of their profession because they are seen as the sharpest tools in the military shed. Yet in the West Wing, among uber-elite civilians from academia, the corporate world, and Wall Street, Kelly was consistently the dumbest guy in the room. Regarding Kelly's leadership, I had to brace myself physically every time his office called, as it inevitably involved some form of threat or abuse. Some leaders inspire, while others attempt to "lead" through intimidation. Kelly was clearly the latter, and I can't imagine serving under his command in combat. But Kelly's flawed leadership wasn't the most concerning issue. His real failure was his refusal to obey the president, breaking the chain of command.
Kelly, along with Defense Secretary James "Mad Dog" Mattis, knew better than anyone that the military's survival depends on strict respect for the chain of command. Yet once Kelly and Mattis reached the pinnacle of civilian power, they acted as if no one, not even the president, was above them. Kelly routinely subverted the president's trade agenda. When my former boss instructed Kelly to prepare an executive order to impose steel and aluminum tariffs or tariffs on China, Kelly would consistently delay the process by subjecting it to an extended review. Kelly employed the same tactic whenever the president attempted to push trading partners like South Korea and Japan to stop screwing us in trade. Both Kelly and Mattis resisted actions that could threaten military alliances with these countries, ignoring the fact that gutting our economy and manufacturing base would ultimately weaken our ability to defend ourselves, let alone any other nation. Why was Kelly so opposed to Trump's trade policies? Lacking any economic training, Kelly fell easily into the globalist mindset of West Wing figures like National Economic Council Directors Gary Cohn and Larry Kudlow and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin -- all of whom worked to block the president's trade policies. Because Kelly had no training in politics, he failed to understand the importance of trade policy in holding the high political ground of blue wall manufacturing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan that Trump had won in 2016. Because Kelly didn't know how to "let Trump be Trump," as Corey Lewandowski famously advised, there was no way "Captain Queeg" Kelly would allow anyone with differing trade policy ideas near the Oval Office.
Kelly regularly eavesdropped on press phone calls and scrutinized overnight phone logs. If someone like me called the president, we were threatened with firing.
...
Now, it saddens and infuriates me to see Kelly play the court jester to the Atlantic, of all places. I had hoped that the Biden-Harris administration's tragic mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, where Kelly's own son died in combat, might have brought him out of his hate-filled and vengeful derangement. I was wrong. And the
Mark Paoletta
@MarkPaoletta I worked in the White House with John Kelly, and I don't believe a word he says. He was a terrible chief of staff who dishonestly kept information from the President to pursue his own agenda, an unelected former military official substituting his judgment for the duly elected President. Here are two examples: 1) In 2018, President Trump asked OMB Director Mulvaney to find money in agency accounts to build the wall to secure our southern border. Mulvaney asked OMB Deputy Russ Vought and me as OMB GC to do a deep dive on this project, and with the help of superb career staff, we found a ton of money at the DOD that we could use to build the wall. But Kelly prevented Mulvaney from presenting this plan to President Trump. Several months later, in a meeting, Trump said "Mick, I asked you to find me money and you haven't." Mulvaney responded "I found the money but I have not been able to brief you." Kelly would not set up policy time for Mulvaney to discuss the plan with Trump. After this exchange, Mulvaney presented the plan and the President authorized this strategy. John Kelly was insubordinate and duplicitous by refusing to provide the President with lawful options to implement the President's policies. 2) Because of the manner in which the Election Integrity Commission was set up, I wanted to have the President shut it down and direct the DOJ to investigate election fraud. At the time, I was the Counsel to VP Pence, who was the co-chair of the commission, and I had developed a list of previous presidential directives to DOJ to investigate a specific matter so that when making this recommendation I could show it was well supported by history and tradition. In a meeting with Kelly and others, I made this recommendation and shared the list of examples of Presidents directing DOJ to engage on specific matters. Kelly said he would never show this list to the President because it would be terrible if President Trump knew he could do this, his life was tough enough in dealing with the President, and he did not want him to know this. To my knowledge, President Trump was never made aware of these examples. John Kelly thought he knew better than President Trump and was opposed to many of his policies. As Chief of Staff, Kelly dishonestly tried to thwart President Trump's policies, and on the wall funding he was totally fine with not doing everything possible to stop illegal aliens flooding into our country and murdering innocent Americans, all in order to protect the bloated bureaucracy of his DOD. John Kelly will say anything to stop President Trump from being re-elected. It won't work. Vote Trump Vance 2024.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Thank you for your support against a total degenerate named John Kelly, who made up a story out of pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred! This guy had two qualities, which don't work well together. He was tough and dumb. The problem is his toughness morphed into weakness, because he became JELLO with time! The story about the Soldiers was A LIE, as are numerous other stories he told. Even though I shouldn't be wasting my time with him, I always feel it's necessary to hit back in pursuit of THE TRUTH. John Kelly is a LOWLIFE, and a bad General, whose advice in the White House I no longer sought, and told him to MOVE ON! His wife once told me, at Camp David, John admires you tremendously, and when he leaves the Military, he will only speak well of you. I said, Thank you!

If you didn't see the staged gathering of ben stiller, some other supposed hollywood celery, double-fisted doug emhoff-harris, and "emma" emhoff, it is a sight to behold.
First, it looks like a hollywood PR red carpet backstage photo-op setting. And then it becomes extremely Uncomfortable for everyone involved as Emma Emhoff pretends she's a girl who might someday like to have an abortion. She dressed like and sounded like a 16 yr old boy out with his two "dads."
There is no way emma emhoof will ever be pregnant. She is obviously asexual or an incel dyke.
Secondly, this was intended as an appeal to men, fathers of daughters in particular. Everyone on that video looked and sounded like a beta homosexual. The person with the lowest estrogen level was Emma Ermhoff.

CHANGE: John Kelly closes the Oval Office door.
Gen. John Kelly, the new White House chief of staff, has taken control in dramatic fashion, and is already imposing unmistakable signs of order after just a few days on the job:
Even POTUS appears to be trying to impress his four-star handler, picking up his game by acting sharper in meetings and even rattling off stats.
Meetings, which under Reince Priebus were meandering, are shorter and stick to their scheduled topic. Reince was a wallflower; Kelly moderates and is clearly in charge.
Everyone — even uber-aides Jared and Ivanka, and economic adviser Gary Cohn — is being deferential to Kelly.

The donor wing of the GOP ran things until Trump. They still run McConnell and they ran McCarthy. Those assholes in turn ran their party caucuses via funding and promoting supporters and icing MAGA types.
Kellye had long time relationships with most of those GOPe assholes and the DC media. So very possible.

So John Kelly is out smearing Trump saying Trump hates the military. Allow me to first establish my bona fides: 22 year Army vet, retired officer, 3 combat tours, 60% disabled per the VA. Having established who I am, I believe Kelly is lying (he is a Milley buddy after all), but even if what he said is true, I don't care. I'll tell you why. Rhetoric is one thing, action is another. Let me tell you about Trump's ACTIONS while in office:
1. Trump did not start another useless, endless war.
2. Trump did not throw away the sacrifices of our military in those already-existing useless, endless wars.
3. Trump alienated all of the architects of those useless, endless wars.
4. Trump did not treat the military as a political pawn.
5. Trump focused on the one true vulnerability of our national defense -- the invasion across our Southern Border. . .

Trump did not exactly have a bunch of people lined up to take on what was seen as a hopeless campaign when he began. He had to take on the GOP rigging and cheat structure before he could struggle to get into office. Even then, a lot of potential officeholders were either stiffed by the likes of Christy and then Pence, shanked like Gen. Flynn, or warned that they were endangering their future careers if they signed about SS Trump as crew.

I think a lot of people are forgetting that Trump knew that he was going to lose in 2016. Three days before the election he told his son and close campaign staff that he was going to lose. When he won he had no idea what to do because he and the people around him had not starting any sort of vetting process for his inner circle which should have been done months before the election. He had to compress a process that normally evolved over six months into less than two months and he made some horrible picks.
I suspect he has already fixed that problem this time around.

I'm a bit mystified at how people don't think Trump can be brutal. He absolutely wages war on any politician who he runs against. He doesn't just beat them he goes after them so hard supporters of his opponents often refuse to support him, until they ultimately do.
The man told the mullah running Afghanistan if he harmed a single American after they made a deal to have America withdraw from that shit hole he would end him and then handed him a picture of his house. Nobody died for 18 months. He ended the ISIS caliphate in a few months after we were told it was impossible by carpet bombing them back to Allah. He kept Xi and Putin in boxes because they were afraid he would go all Crazy Ivan on them. He gave us the most secure border since the BP has kept stats by threatening retaliation against Mexico.
We haven't had a president as brutal as Trump in a very long time. That's one big reason the left fears and hates him.

You have to run an administration and not a wise use of time attacking people you've fired because it expends valuable political capital.
Every one of those sonuvabitch generals got there by cultivating power relationships with senators, house members, bureaucrats, and often media.
Trump already had problems with Bitch McConnell and Traitor Paulie Ryan as well as a bunch of useless twats that refused to actually enforce laws like Kelly did as Homeland Security Sec and got pissed when his sidepiece Kirsten whatshername got canned for doing the same damn thing. Disobeying orders.

I think Trump's first term has to be taken in context. 2016 was the first time in the history of the country we didn't have a peaceful transfer of power. Think about that. They ran a color revolution against Trump that didn't end until he left office. It was one attack after another, from Russia to Ukraine to the virus. We've never seen a presidency like that.
We've been living through an attempted communist takeover for more than 8 years. The entire government has been weaponized against us and only really became obvious when Trump did the impossible of beating Hillary. Then they went maximum overdrive. They tried to impeach him before he even took office and did take out Flynn.
It's easy to see what should have been done now with the benefit of hindsight but there were even people here in early 2016 who thought Trump was a Russian asset. In context, what he was able to accomplish in 4 years with snakes everywhere is fucking incredible.

It's basically a given at this point that all politicians are ass - now we know. It is a real chore to find the gems.
His task is to make processes that weed the asses out or at least keep the ass problem at bay.

I’ve had a number of people ask me what I think happened that caused our senior military leadership to go from being the most respected institution in America to being a bunch of banana republic narcissistic self-serving politicos. .
1. The promotion of the concept of “interagency.” . .
Reply, Edward Girard: Inter-agency is also a Vindmann bit: one of.the ways he worked himself into a frenzy was complaining that Trump didn't process decisions through the inter-agency, as if it weren't a staff-like tool to support a CINC, which the CINC was not bound to use.

I'm not sure Trump expected to win in '16. And he was definitely the new kid in town. Personnel decisions were his Achilles heel, obviously. But that's not the same this time around. I think we'll see a much leaner fighting machine, if we can just get him back in the WH.

I don't know if Don Sr. asked Don Jr. to do this, but Don Jr. is assembling a DO NOT HIRE list for a second Trump Administration. I hope Don Jr. is doing an outstanding job on this. And I hope it will be used. My fingers are crossed.

Trump's actual words:
So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light - and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too.
I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.
Trump had just received a report on Covid from DHS's science and tech lead and was riffing on what he'd just heard. HE WASN'T GIVING ADVICE, HE WAS SUGGESTING POTENTIAL AVENUES OF RESEARCH!

Nope, Trump needs to put in those who were part of the E-4 mafia.
Give them a task, and they will figure out a way to pull it off even it violates regs, chain of command, and various other military doctrines.

Stormin Norman Schwarzkopf was one of the least political generals of modern times. He went in, did his job and left politics out of his public life. After leading Desert Shield/Storm he turned down a promotion and retired. He then turned down multiple offers to run for political office.

Halloween Movie Thread
I know I just did one of these.
I saw House, from 1985 (or 1986 -- it was out in limited release December 1985, then full nationwide release February 1986), on Amazon Prime. With William "Greatest American Hero" Katt, George "Norm" Wendt, and Bull from "Night Court." I kind of loved it. It starts out as a sort of grounded, low-key, more serious movie. William Katt is a Vietnam vet troubled by nightmares about his time in the jungle. This is exacerbated by the fact he's chosen to right a memoir about his time in 'Nam, so he's dealing with those memories more than he ever has before. Don't worry, he's not the Hollywood stereotype "crazy vet" or dysfunctional. He's a successful author and has his act together. He just has nightmares and bad memories. What is making him a little crazy is that his young son disappeared without a trace when he was visiting his aunt's house under strange -- supernatural? -- circumstances. After his aunt's death, he moves into the house to write his book. And he starts seeing things.I have a good recommendation for a Halloween movie for a specific circumstance:
When you're with a group of people looking to watch a Halloween movie together. Is it the best horror movie? No. Is it the scariest? No. Is it great? No. It's merely pretty good. But it's the best Halloween movie to watch with several friends, or your kids, as long as they're older than about 14.
Have you got any RECCOMENDATIONZZZ for Halloween viewing?
Here's some Bugs Bunny from a 1978 Halloween special. It's mostly a compilation of old monster-themed shorts.

The Korean movie?
I've always seen it as tonally consistent: darkly comic.
The turn is more plot based, going into the private prison (surprisingly regular in Korean culture, it seems).

But, if you're open to more Kobayashi...you should dig in. Samurai Rebellion is great. The Human Condition may be 9 hours long, but it's great. Harakiri is great while also being deeply, deeply anti-Bushido, which is interesting (same as Samurai Rebellion, honestly).

Trick r Treat is quite good.
Other recs: Infinity Pool flew under the radar. It's kinda sci-fi, kinda horror. It's quite good. Possessor is another that flew under the radar that falls into the same category (kinda sci-fi, kinda horror).
The Korean movie Exhuma is solid supernatural horror. In the last several years, there has been a lot of good foreign horror movies.
Anti-rec: Bodies Bodies Bodies. Virtually all the characters are woke AF, and you'll hate them from start to finish.

I read from some people that they saw it as a critique of wokeness.
I watched it. It's not.
It's just stupid. It's stupid woke characters arguing over about who's the most woke as they try to figure out a murder mystery (that makes no sense). It's earnest as hell, but that earnestness can come off as parody when seen in the right light.
It'd be a great group movie to make fun of. Best of the Worst kind of stuff.

When I was living in Boston they used to run that every Friday night at an old theater. There was a group of people that went literally every Friday. They would dress as characters from the movie and they knew every single line in the movie and would shout out key lines and sing along.
These people made me feel much better about myself.

I gave that some thought as a watched it: whether it was an attack on these wokesters or the writer simply didn't understand how repellant they are. Like you, I concluded the latter. Not that the audience has to see it that way (kinda like a lot of left-leaning stuff that ends up resonating with conservatives who see the same thing a different way). But it's very, very hard to enjoy either way.

Great backstory to that flick. It was obviously based on the novel "Dracula," but the German producers neglected to purchase the rights from Bram Stoker's estate. Bram's widow got wind of it, sued for copyright violation, and won. All prints of the film were supposed to have been destroyed. But, obviously, some survived, fortunately.

That made an impact on me as a kid. It was my second Dracula (after Nosferatu) or maybe third (after Lugosi).

It's so wonderfully off-kilter. It's creepy and weird, and sometimes funny.
It doesn't really explain what's going on in detail. Here's my head-canon: most of the time the house can't actually hurt you. It can only mess with your head. As evidence, when the protagonist interacts with the ghost of someone who died in the house, that ghost says "the house tricked me! It will trick you, too!" (But the young son really did disappear so I guess the house can sometimes have a real impact in the real world?)
It also has a really satisfying ending.

In 2000's "Shadow of the Vampire", he plays Max Schreck, the actor who played "Nosferatu". And the gag of the movie is: He really IS a vampire.

JB's argument being, "We know all about The Thing [which was the second feature] but we wanna know what the heck is going on in PoD."
Carpenter was super cool.
When they did the montage of all of his movies, people were cheering all kinds of things, including (e.g.) "Escape from L.A." but not "Vampires."
I liked "Vampires" but I was clearly in the minority.

Interesting point. Part of the charm of early horror movies was the low budget, forcing the directors to come up with creative ways to evoke an emotional response from the audience. They had to be efficient and economical because they had virtually no money for anything fancy.
Now, anyone with a bit of skill and knowledge can crank out "better" effects using Adobe Premier Pro.

Ichi the Killer - 2001 - Japan. 10 out of 10. A crime horror movie based on a manga. Beautifully filmed. Pretty bloody for a Japanese movie. Great effects. A crime boss goes missing.
Audition - 1999 - Japan. 10 out of 10. Others here highly recommended it. Beautifully written and filmed. I loved the father - son relationship and the friendship between the guys. Got a bit weird but was still a great movie.

Steve Miner directed the second and third installments of "Friday the 13th" and STILL managed to destroy the continuity between both the first and the second AND the second and the third.
"House 2", which is not as good, was directed by the writer of "House", Ethan Wiley. It has John Ratzenberger in it instead of George Wendt, which mae me wonder if they would go through the whole "Cheers" cast.
"House III: The Horror Show" was not a sequel in any way I can determine.
William Katt returns for "House IV", briefly, which has only the lovely Terri Treas and her two enormous talents to boast. And those talents are mostly covered.

The weird thing about "horror" as a genre is that it has so many subgenres that are not really closely related to each other:
ghost stories (e.g., The Uninvited);
mad scientist stuff (e.g., Frankenstein);
Undead and zombie stuff (e.g., Dracula, Night of the Living Dead);
Monster movies (e.g., King Kong, Godzilla);
Aliens (e.g., The Day the Earth Stood Still0:
Slasher flicks (e.g., Friday the 13th).
And others that I'm forgetting right now.

Trick R Treat was amusing and a fun way to spend an evening.
If you have a strong stomach, the first two Terrifier movies are WAY over the top, and the third is good as well, as long as kids in peril doesn’t bother you too much, especially because good old Art the Clown lets you know in the first five minutes that all bets are off.
And if you can find a production near you, Evil Dead the Musical is absolutely bug fuck nuts. I saw a production a few years ago and it’s not a GOOD musical, but it’s not intended to be, which is what makes it a great time. Especially if the theater putting it on has a splatter zone. In that case, definitely sit in the splatter zone.

Final NYT Poll: Tied Nationally.
Final CNN Poll: Tied Nationally.
A national tie is good for Republicans, usually, but a Democrat on Twitter claimed the 2012 final polls put Obama and Romney at a tie, and Obama on the national vote by 3.7% (or something like that).
So this is no time for complacency or false confidence. It's close enough that yes, your vote matters. CNN:
InteractivePolls
@IAPolls2022 FINAL NATIONAL POLL: CNN/SSRS Trump: 47%
Harris: 47%
Stein: 1%
Other: 2% Last poll (9/22) - Harris +1 ---- Generic Ballot
GOP: 48%
DEM: 45%
The Hill reports on the Times/Siena poll:
Harris sees troubling signs in latest New York Times/Siena poll The final national poll before Election Day from The New York Times and Siena College has some troubling signs for Vice President Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee. The poll finds Harris deadlocked with former President Trump, the GOP nominee, after she led him in an earlier version of the poll taken in October by 3 percentage points. The new poll is sparking talk that Harris could actually lose the popular vote to Trump. ... Much of the talk surrounding the 2024 race has been about the chances of Harris winning the popular vote but losing the Electoral College to Trump, given the tightness of polling in seven key swing states. But the New York Times poll suggests Harris is not building up the type of huge lead in the popular vote that might suggest she would also win the closely fought swing states. ... In another bad sign for Harris, just 28 percent of respondents said the U.S. as a country was headed in the right direction. Given that Harris is the incumbent vice president and such numbers are difficult for a sitting administration to overcome, that is a tough number for her.Actually, Trump's ahead of Harris in this poll when you look at the question about the real ballot, the ballot with five different candidates, not just head-to-head:
In a national poll from NY Times/Sienna released Friday, Donald Trump has surged to a one-point lead over Kamala Harris, 47 to 46 percent. A little over two weeks ago, this same pollster showed the former president losing to Harris by three points, 44 to 47 percent. That represents a four-point swing in one of the most trusted polls out there. That particular result is when third-party candidates are included in the survey. In a head-to-head race with no third-party candidates, this same poll shows the national race tied, 48 to 48 percent.Trump's edge on the economy has supposedly shrunk to just 6 points, but I imagine that's due to Democrats just deciding that Aksually the economy must be good if I'm voting for these assholes again, after years of admitting the economy is terrible. Still, not great. One interesting point from Effeminate Thumb Chris Cillizza is the erosion of the Democrats' youth advantage.
Chris CillizzaDon't get too excited: Biden is, of course, rigging the election by forcing Virginia (which is now in play) to put non-citizens who admitted they are non-citizens back on the election rolls so they can vote for Democrats:
@ChrisCillizza Broke down the 5 #'s from the NYT/Siena poll that jumped out to me. One BIG one: Harris is +12 among 18-29 year olds. Biden won that age cohort by 24. Hillary won them by 19. Trouble.
Jason Miyares
@JasonMiyaresVA Attorney General Miyares Releases Statement on Court Ruling Regarding Non-Citizens On Voter Rolls
It should never be illegal to remove an illegal voter. Yet, today a Court -- urged by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice -- ordered Virginia to put the names of non-citizens back on the voter rolls, mere days before a presidential election. The Department of Justice pulled this shameful, politically motivated stunt 25 days before Election Day, challenging a Virginia process signed into law 18 years ago by a Democrat governor and approved by the Department of Justice in 2006. More concerning is the open practice by the Biden-Harris administration to weaponize the legal system against the enemies of so-called progress. That is the definition of lawfare. To openly choose weaponization over good process and lawfare over integrity isn't democracy: it's bullying, pure and simple, and I always stand up to bullies. In the meantime, I encourage every Virginian to exercise their right to vote. Rest assured, I will never stop fighting to preserve the integrity of our election process. The Commonwealth of Virginia will appeal this decision -- all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary.
There's a real shot Trump may get his great white whale: winning the popular vote. Polls show the race nationally is basically even as Trump runs far ahead of where he polled in 2016 or 2020.

The Dums always out-poll the GOP on generic ballots (at least nationally). How is it possible that the race is tied but the GOP is surprisingly ahead on the generic?
I suspect the top-line race heavily over-sampled Dums. What's the D+ number?

It seems obvious that if the early voting has any predictive power, that no, they haven't come close to fixing it.
Besides, again, MI and NC are not going to both be 50/50 states. NC is going to be something like Trump +5-8.

I don't know who these people are, but Trump attracts millions of voters that don't vote in midterms. They only turn-out to vote for him, and then disappear for four years. It fucks up the likely voters screening, which is why Trump always ends up doing better in the final count over what the polls predict...and why he's been unusually close in Registered Voter polls, when Republicans usually lag behind democrats significantly in those polls.

The adds warning that your vote status is public is mostly standard issue voter suppression - making people fear voting because there somehow might be repercussions. Also, the conspiracy minded might think that maybe even your actual vote is public (I will make another comment on that) and cause them to be reluctant to vote, or reluctant to vote against the dems if they are in dem dominant cities.
But there is a much more sinister possibility. This may be a long range plan to build support to make that information private. If they do that, then the public can not canvas, can not check addresses and do all the things MAGA has been doing for past 4 years to prove the cheat. If vote records are private, we become Venezuela where the vote is fully manufacture.

BREAKING: Lancaster, Pennsylvania officials have BUSTED a large-scale fraudulent voter registration scheme that includes thousands of applications with the same handwriting, fake signatures, false addresses, etc
They discovered the same scheme in other Pennsylvania counties.
District Attorney Heather Adams revealed that the applications came from canvassers who were paid to obtain voter registrations, adding that "The majority of the applications were from residents in the city of Lancaster... The canvases themselves took place at various shopping centers, parking lots of grocery stores and businesses, sidewalks and parks."
"We are aware of at least two other counties that receive similar applications that are currently being investigated."
If you listen closely, the DA said the Clerk received the applications at or near the deadline to register to vote. That means the bad actors waited till the last minute so no one would notice. They would've used the fraudulent applications to commit mail-in ballot fraud without getting caught.
We better check the entire state of Pennsylvania, and we better see arrests NOW.

You are at least half right. I think the other half of the reason for the glut of 50-50 polls (or at least some portion of the reason) is that they don't want to show Trump with a real lead. I'll bet the D+ numbers are fucked in the ass to get to the tie.
I continue to believe the internal polls show Kamala getting fisted by a dozen Willie Browns. How do I know? Ignore what they say. Watch what they do. And what they are doing is insane panicking. Why? If indeed the race was tied, they could easily steal it. They'd have it in the bag.
They are acting like they DON'T have this in the bag, which suggests internal polling showing yuge Trump leads.

I have seen reports that in most states ballots have unique ID, and that in some states that ID ties it to a voter registration record. In other states it is not explicitly tied, but it is easy enough to scan and connect.
How is this possible? Ballots are supposed to be private -- that is one of the key pillars of democracy -- and any ID on a ballot can easily tie the ballot to the voter using current tech. Scanning numbers is easy, but we also have face scanning and data analysis which can easily tie the time of vote to a ballot. Don't you think the party's would want to know exactly how each person votes for future targeted attention?
I feel like the USA has forgotten everything it knew about election security.

I worked for over ten years with a firm that installed election software at the state level. We covered both registration and tabulation functions. I personally worked on those systems for six different states.

12-20 million illegal criminal invaders under Biden and border czar Harris in less than 4 years. So let's assume 16 million at a mere $50,000/yr/illegal public cost with no taxes paid.
That is a lot of money per year. Trillions of dollars. I can see where the Biden-Harris regime got us $475 billion in new debt in the last month.

There's that, which is important an indicates a complete lack of Democrat enthusiasm.
But then there's also the fact that Republicans are leading by 10 points in FL, polling averages being only about Trump+7, and that doesn't include Others which will probably be majority Trump in FL.
There's that R's outnumber D's in returned and early voting in NV. That GA's black turnout is down ridiculously. That the gap between returned and requested ballots between the two parties in PA is significantly smaller than in either 20 or 22. That R heavy counties in WI are outright outvoting Dane County.
Saying everything's 50/50 when we're going to get a good number of these states going 53-47 or better for Trump is going to technically be within the margin for error, but no one should accept that.

America would rather memory-hole the Covid pandemic -- however I cant help but wonder about the impact of mass death, disability, and unexpressed rage and grief on our politics in ways we aren't capturing yet.
Fear and collective humiliation can and does lead to fascism.
I think of hundreds of millions of Americans spent covid worrying about the vulnerability of seniors/ elders.
Is this why the media refused to face Biden's aging for so long? And is ignoring Trump's decline right now?
Are we that scared to confront mortality and decay?
Today has been an absolute stab in the back.
What an insult to those of us who have literally put our careers and lives on the line, to call out threats to human rights and democracy.

Just about everything we do is not only wrong, but stupid, amateurish, insecure, wasteful, and corrupt. Often diabolical and insulting.
I don't know where to begin in listing the problems, so I point out little ones as they come up in a discussion.
The only solution is to toss out anything done in the past 24 years and go back to paper accounting books of registrations with paper signatures, paper ballots on one day in-person voting. No absentee, no early, no late. No computers. No software, and no electronics in the voting area.

Not really--Polling in 2012 had two tracks. Gallup and Rasmussen had Romney competitive. The rest had Obama up during October. Merging the whole polling results simply compounded the error.
That is the election that I figured out everything had changed in what I knew about elections because of the split. Gallup quit presidential polling despite being in it at its beginning and did not poll 2016, 2020, and this year. Rasmussen ended up mebbe two years later or so removing Scott Rasmussen from the company.
But, something seems off about the 2012 election because Karl Rove on screen had a meltdown over a call and Romney's team seemed surprised as well due to multiple polling failures in seeming red states like Florida.

2012 was the year they started introducing 1,000-1,500 fake registrations into many counties and precinct voter rolls in order to generate extra democrat votes.

Yeah, that needs to be remembered.
The rules were relaxed and broken for months to let millions (maybe tens of millions) of ballots out in the wild. By this time in 2020, millions more ballots had been returned than now.
The preliminary work at the cheat is simply not being done right now. Millions of votes behind.
The last second ballot box stuffing would be ridiculous at this point, and 2020 was already pretty damn ridiculous.

The only one I've heard is college educated and old people.
The problem is that it's based on crosstabs that are almost always wrong (they're pretty wrong for whites in general), she's polling as good as Biden was, though it didn't actually materialize, with those groups, and you'd have to believe a 10 point swing for Kamala from Trump in 2020 at the height of covid.

Not enough time in a lot of states. Basically the old Dem turnout machine relied on early voting to get out low propensity voters with a smattering of mail in ballots plus about 5 pct fraud or so from urban centers. It wasn't designed to turn out voters on Election Day.
Getting into the weeds, there is a potential that Trump is doing something the GOP has never really done until 2020 started it. Absent Trump, Ronna refused to try to do it for 2022 which is one of the way that the red wave was a mirage. The GOP traditionally has only tried to turn out base voters.
Turn out low propensity voters (males, not college educated, and alienated from the system along with younger Hispanic and black minorities that are not set in the racial grievance era).
That is why the polling was so wrong in 2020 and that the obvious last minute cheats occurred then using mail in ballots (not in person)

Particularly important to remember. It’s easy to think the Swamp can magically manufacture votes by the millions, but magic isn’t real. There has to be a mechanism. In 2020 it was swollen, illegitimate voter rolls and ballots sent out willy-nilly. That’s not quite the case today. There’s going to be a cheat but it has to arise elsewhere.

But (supposedly) polling firms have corrected for that this time by oversampling groups he does well with. We'll see.

Eh, depends on the sample size. Oversampling particular demographics is also a tactic that is used by people wanting to get the right results aka private polling.
The GOP has never really tried to turn out minorities by engaging them on their own turf ever until Trump. Instead, the GOP used mushy messaging and pandering like amnesty proposals to try to get Hispanics on board.
Whatever you can say about Trump is that he treats people as individuals and thus can go to a hostile audience like the Black Journalists, etc. and win some grudging respect. Trump's message is appealing to their own private interests (employment, no inflation, etc.) and the nation's interest instead of pandering. A certain percentage of younger POC are open to that.

CNBC is reporting that Bezos himself pulled the plug on the WaPo endorsement of Kamala.
I suspect he realizes he'll have to sell his girlfriends new silicon DD+ breasts to cover the cost of 'unrealized gains' while he experiences 'unsuspected losses' in the breast department.

Confirmed: Washington Post Will Not Endorse Kamala; Leftwing Activists Pretending to be Journalists Cope and Seethe
As John Ekdahl commented, absolutely zero people would be persuaded by the endorsement of this amateurish Animal House of gonzo communist propanda. The paper has lost most of its audience and has to keep laying people off to not lose even more money. What's nice here isn't that we avoid the all-important Washington Post obligatory endorsement of a communist candidate. That means nothing. What's nice is that low-IQ, low-impulse-control retards are shitting themselves in fury over this betrayal.Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remains neck and neck, The Washington Post editorial page has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the editorial page editor told colleagues at a tense meeting Friday morning. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters. The editorial page editor, David Shipley, told colleagues that the Post's publisher, Will Lewis, would publish a note to readers online early Friday afternoon. Shipley told colleagues the editorial board was told yesterday by management that there would not be an endorsement. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote. Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject. A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. ... Post owner Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder and one of the world's richest people, has major contracts before the federal government in his other business operations.Mark Hemingway had this funny catch: Jen Rubin demanded that more LA Times staffers resign when the Times refused to endorse Kamala. So does that mean this talentless bitch who has no job except for blogging for the Post will resign now? Or nah? Nah, right?
Yesterday @JRubinBlogger applauded an LAT Times editor who resigned when the paper refused to endorse. She asked "where are the rest of them?" expecting more resignations

Ally Sammarco...vs. Reality:
@Ally_Sammarco Republicans keep saying Kamala Harris speaks in "word salad" because she speaks in an intellectual, nuanced manner. They are so used to hearing first grade level vocabulary that anything more educated than that is confusing for them.
NEW: Actor Mel Gibson says Kamala Harris has the IQ of a "fence post" in footage obtained by @TMZ.
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 24, 2024
Gibson specifically called out Harris for her "appalling" track record.
Question: Who are you voting for? I'm gonna guess. Trump.
Gibson: I think that's a pretty good guess.… pic.twitter.com/cJaHH9trEQ

Rubin is a UCal Hastings Law grad I think and was sort of like the LGF fellow did after 9/11 from fear of Islamic terrorism affecting her blue residences.
For her to go back to the left as the fear of Islamic terrorists faded is no more than a dog returning to its vomit.
Sort of like how Arlen Spector went from Dem to GOP back to Dem.

Kamala Harris campaign rented space in Swing State Bucks County, Pennsylvania
They covered and blacked out all the windows and hiring people for $25 an hour. Guess where the location is right next door to, the building is attached… The Post Office
He tried to ask what they’re doing and they yelled at him to “Get out of here” — “Two guys in here. They won't tell you what's going on, but I asked them for a job. They told me no. Get out of here”
“They're hiding everything they do.”

That is a virtue in a self defense situation because the rioter has to get close enough to the sprayer to cut them. You can also dial up and down pressure on decent ones and that cutting tendency by fanning the spray.
Firehose require a hydrant and all the ancillaries and these are in the public right of way where a self defense argument gets chancier.
Course, any rioter with actual molotovs in a lot of states is committing a forcible felony if aimed at you or your domicile which makes it suitable for escalating force applications to make them stop the attack.

"The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was founded on April 1st, 1979 under the Jimmy Carter Administration during the height of a nearly decade long stagflationary crisis and the Iranian oil crisis. Under Executive Order 12127, its stated goal was to centralize all disaster related efforts under a single top-down entity.
...
The true purpose of FEMA has long been obscured but some disturbing truths have been exposed in the past. The declassification of a program called Rex 84 (tied to Operation Garden Plot) revealed that FEMA was working directly with the Department of Defense on a hypothetical strategy to round up and detain large numbers of civilians considered a “threat to national security.” In other words, FEMA was to act as a tool for helping suppress civil disturbances, it was not necessarily designed to help Americans in times of need."

If they don't know right from wrong why should anyone trust their paper? Especially with this election, where our democracy is at stake.
They documented more than 30,000 false statements made by Trump during his administration and have been, contrary to claims, pretty critical about pretty much everything he does.
So, they have nothing to lose by endorsing Harris. Trump and the right already hate WaPo.
There is nothing the WaPo or any newspaper could do to appease the right-wingers, as the false mantra of the 'liberal media' is one of the most sacred of their cows, and completely unassailable.
Bezos is one of the richest people on the planet. He has a huge security detail. If he is afraid, what about the rest of us? Shouldn’t he feel some obligation to help stop Trump.

They think they can get away with it because nothing bad happens immediately.

Not to be confused with "shoepeg corn." From Wikipedia:
The name "shoepeg corn" derives from a shoemaking term used during the 19th century. Shoepeg corn kernels resemble the wooden pegs used to attach soles to the upper part of shoes.
Shoepeg corn is a common ingredient in salads and corn dishes throughout the Southern United States, but is relatively unknown in other areas of the country. It is on rare occasions available fresh in some areas, but it is most often canned. Shoepeg corn is also the best variety of corn for Sockeye salmon bait.

Along with the denial of the explosion, Iranian media reported that the mayor of Garmdareh had stated that the explosion was caused by gas tanks, but it was later discovered that the quoted mayor had died over a year ago and that the quoted news was from years ago, according to the Independent Persian."

Biden-Harris Implements "Quiet Amnesty" to Keep Illegals In America Forever; Aide to Sherod Brown Says "Throw the Borders F***in' Open, Let Them All In!"
Kamala Harris is going to be so tough on the border you guys.
Meanwhile, Harris-Biden allowed in thousand of Tren de Aragua gangsters, who were openly wearing tattoos showing their allegiance to the violent prison gang. Harris-Biden's excuse? We didn't ask about the tattoos. Don't ask, don't tell.
Biden-Harris admin engages in 'quiet amnesty' to allow illegal border crossers to remain in US indefinitely: House Judiciary "Instead of adjudicating these cases, denying invalid asylum claims, and ordering aliens removed from the United States, the Biden-Harris Administration has directed its immigration judges to simply not adjudicate them," the report stated. The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday released an interim staff report on how the Biden-Harris administration "uses the nation's immigration courts to advance an open-borders agenda" through a massive backlog in the immigration courts and the dismissal of cases. The committee wrote that since Biden took office, there have been more than 3.7 million new immigration court cases since the beginning of fiscal year 2021, which began in October of 2020. "The majority of those cases are based on claims that ultimately will prove unsuccessful," the report stated, noting that of the adjudicated cases in fiscal year 2023, just 14 percent of them resulted in an asylum grant. The remaining cases were "cases denied, abandoned, dismissed, terminated, withdrawn, or administratively closed." "The Biden-Harris Administration has used the immigration court backlog as an excuse to allow even more aliens to remain in the country. Instead of actually adjudicating illegal aliens' cases based on the merits of aliens' claims for relief--such as whether an alien has a valid and successful asylum claim--immigration judges under the Biden-Harris Administration have been tasked with rubberstamping case dismissals, case closures, and case terminations, all of which allow illegal aliens to remain in the United States without immigration consequences," the report stated. Through oversight conducted by the Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement since 2023, it has been revealed that the administration "has used administrative maneuvering in immigration court proceedings to allow nearly 1 million illegal aliens to remain in the US indefinitely." To "mask" the increase in new cases created by the Biden-Harris admin's border crisis, the administration "has empowered ICE attorneys to pursue or agree to--and immigration judges to grant--mass dismissals, terminations, and closures of immigration cases."
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has come under fire after immigration officers approved refugee applications for members of the violent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua (TDA), without noticing gang tattoos. According to The Washington Times, the gang members were flagged at the U.S. border by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, but not before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had already granted them refugee status. Kevin Grigsby, head of refugee operations at USCIS, admitted the oversight in a scathing internal email obtained by The Times. Grigsby acknowledged that officers failed to ask about or recognize the significance of the gang-related tattoos during the refugee adjudication process. "Unfortunately, we did not ask about the tattoos... [which] represents a serious public safety concern," he wrote.Whoops! Whoopsie! Speaking of Tren de Aragua: Emails from the Aurora city council now reveal they knew about Tren de Aragua's invasion of the city since last year and covered it up. "Open the f***ing borders!" screams Sherrod Brown's aide.
While vulnerable Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio has been gaslighting the American people about the border crisis, hiding behind a particularly bad border bill, one of his campaign operatives has made it abundantly clear that he's no fan of border security. According to Ohio.news, Kevin Oyakawa is a Democratic staffer working to help get Brown and Rep. Emilia Sykes (OH-13), another vulnerable Democrat, reelected. Oyakawa made such a post from his Facebook account about those races on April 15, for which there is a screenshot. There's also a screenshot from Oyakawa's account of an October 6 campaign event for Sykes. The outlet released footage from earlier this month in which Oyakawa goes on an angry tirade not just about the border, but against Ohio voters who dare to prefer that their border be secure. Oyakawa can be heard using explicit language throughout. "Like me, I'm out there just like, open the fu**king border, I don't give a s**t who the f**k comes in here," Oyakawa can be heard casually sharing. "We don't need border patrol," he also claimed. "But, the issue with even talking about immigration here in Ohio is that it's a losing issue... it's a losing issue for Democrats here," Oyakawa went on to admit. Such an admission brought more insults to the Ohio voters, though, as he then claimed it's "for like no fu**ing reason other than people's pure racism." When it comes to immigration being such "a losing issue," Oyakawa also revealed "that's why it's probably really hard to find anything about like where [Sykes] stands on it," adding, "if she has to address immigration, she starts losing." The video clip also refers to Oyakawa as a "Regional Organizing Director" for Ohio Democrats. Such a position and the April starting date also lines up with his LinkedIn profile. Both Sykes' race against Republican Kevin Coughlin and Brown's race against Republican Bernie Moreno are in the "Toss-Up" category.

Trump-endorsed Bernie Moreno extends lead over incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown
A new poll shows Bernie Moreno, backed by Donald Trump, has pulled ahead of Ohio's incumbent Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown by 3.8%, signaling a tough battle ahead for the key Senate seat. Key Details: ActiVote's poll of 400 likely voters shows Moreno with a 3.8% lead, gaining traction as the race tightens ahead of the 2024 elections. The poll's margin of error is 4.9%. Moreno has overwhelming support from right-leaning voters, with 93% of moderate-right and right voters backing him. In Ohio, where the electorate leans more conservative than the national average, this advantage bolsters his lead Moreno holds significant appeal with voters in rural and suburban areas, which
make up a crucial portion of the Ohio electorate. His support is especially strong among older voters and those with higher incomes, positioning him well for victory in a state with an increasing conservative tilt.

If this is something like the Reagan/Carter race in 1980, a lot of downballot races thought to be out of play suddenly come to life like the NV Senate race. Reagan brought in 12 GOP senators with him to capture the Senate and dozens of House seats to seal the deal. Many of those winners came from nowhere as the dominant Dem party got an asskicking from the voters.

Based on early ballot returns it's plausible.

But at least Graham is the same party as the majority of voters in SC.
OH cleaned up its elections before 2018. He's of the opposite party as most of the electorate. And they gave him a landslide win. He didn't help 300,000 grannies with their Medicare issues, did he?

Brown's aide simply said the quiet part aloud. The first prong was to keep an open borders puppet in place, the second if that fails will be to prevent the deportation of the twenty million invaders.

Easier to just pass laws to create a bunch of new judges and appoint hard core GOP judges to fill them. I would also go back to requiring three judge district court panels for any constitutional ruling against states and immediate appeal of those rulings (not writ of cert) to Scotus.
In fact, we need to actually require appeals instead of writs of cert for a lot of cases involving federalism and get Scotus to get off its fat ass and work.

End their housing, end their welfare, end their med benefits and end schooling their kids for free. Make every 'refugee' sponsor financially liable for any of their 'refugees' committing crimes, sucking on the public teat, or other such nonsense. Go after any business that hires them with existing laws. Deport criminals for even misdemeanors including the drunk drivers. Tax remittances at a 50 percent or more rate.
It can be done. Whether it will be done or not depends on the mood of the people and things can get very harsh in a very short period of time just by enforcing existing immigration laws.

And, election day in almost every state, including NV, has a history of being much more Republican than Democrat.

Since they dumped Romney's rancid uterus as head of the GOP I'm learning the critical thing is when you square away the GOP early vote you can focus on the ones who haven't voted yet, thereby saving precious resources and time to focus on the low propensity voters.

As I said in an earlier thread. In my state the have "early" voting. You drop you ballot off, they put it in an envelope and the box it up with others and store in a " secure" location. On election day they dig out the boxes and run them thought the counter machines.
I see no holes in that process. No chance they switch out whole boxes or crap like that. "Find" more boxes three days afterward and shit them into the ballot stream....

Reported to say that they will fire anyone who speaks to the press.
While I don't doubt this report, let's think about this for a moment. The campaign is over in two weeks. If they lose, as most people suspect, campaign workers will be out of a job. IIRC, there have been Dem candidates who've lost and... been a bit slow with final paychecks, IYKWIM. Harris is, likely, done for. Could she run for office back in Cali? Sure, but people would point out that she's an idiot and allow Literally Hitler 2024 to resume Presidenting.

Posted by: Frasier Crane
========
There is a whole line of research regarding early voting as a predictor of races but that data has been skewed by past Dem dominance in turning out their voters in EV. That does not seem to be happening here and like a lot of things since Trump, we are off the predictive map. So, go and vote and don't worry about it. There might be a wonk in your state with a lot of time on their hands that is actually doing a deep dive with access to voter history files that might be able to provide guidance. Fly by analysts, probably not.

No doubt. If Trump is allowed to win/take office, all stops will be pulled out to prevent deportations or to end benefits that keep illegals here. I remain very skeptical the national security state apparatus allows a fair election and honors the results if that happens, but the only way this country can remain even remotely not a totalitarian hellhole is if this happens. Everything has been geared towards flooding this country with aliens to disenfranchise the populace so I don't see this happening. The country is hot garbage now and that will get worse if I'm right, which hopefully is not the case.

I love this but remember this is less electioneering and more battlespace prep for the next phase, which is Trump's second term and the op or ops they are about to run on the country and world.
Russia was an op. J6 was an op. They can't have Trump take office without "something" to fill airtime with for 2.5 years.
There are more ops coming. Likely something very big. I think the refurbished Hitler stuff is a preview or hint of what is on the way. It could just be a way to restrict him from fighting but I suspect it's more.

Back when I used to do analysis of candidate races in primaries, you noticed that Dems run everywhere even in hopeless situations--GOP candidates are strategic with a dash of grifter types. The Dems run on a big turnout model (which might not be applicable if the party bases switch) that encourages running everywhere. The GOP model has been to not run candidates in hopeless Dem shitholes because even if they get enough votes to win--the voters that they mobilize will vote against a lot of other statewide GOP candidates via ticketsplitting. So the GOP treat these candidates as jokes and giving them no organizational support unless they can get grifting out of it by fundraising nationally for the hopeless race.

(((As of July 21, ICE said 662,556 people under its supervision were either convicted of crimes or face criminal charges. Nearly 15,000 were in its custody, but the vast majority — 647,572 — were not.
Included in the figures of people not detained by ICE were people found guilty of very serious crimes: 13,099 for homicide, 15,811 for sexual assault, 13,423 for weapons offenses and 2,663 for stolen vehicles. The single biggest category was for traffic-related offenses at 77,074, followed by assault at 62,231 and dangerous drugs at 56,533.)))
The media went into protection mode and stated that the numbers were mischaracterized in that these numbers apply to decades...not just the Biden term. Here's the problem with that defense. THEY ARE STILL UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE ICE OFFICE. Someone who entered illegally 10 years ago would not be since their court date would have passed.

The Tsarnaev brothers say "hi."
Remember, when Trump was president the first two years the Republicans controlled Congress and did not move to do this very thing you suggest. If Trump is allowed to win and take office, McConnell and trash like that is laying down the groundwork to fight against any efforts to start enforcing the immigration laws and get those here illegally out. The problem is inside the tent, too.

Not really. Chavez took over from the Uniparty version in Venezuela and was genuinely popular for his first two terms for putting the corrupt Uniparty types out of business and taking their grift away to give to the peasants. Chavez benefitted from high oil prices due to our stupid overseas foreign policy blunders and spread the wealth including to his cronies. Maduro took over an already existing machine complete with the Cuban local surveillance model and has turned it into a total joke to the point that sooner or later he will flee the country or eat a bullet as he has no popular support now and rules only by coercion.

The polls in 2020 didn't say tossup.
They said Biden winning by anywhere from 7-15, depending on how you want to aggregate them.
And Biden won by 100,000 votes in six states that ballot box stuffed in the middle of the night like Tammany Hall after months of mail in fraud (this last part doesn't seem to be happening at nearly the same scale as 2020, by the way).

I’m hardly optimistic, however there are mechanisms and they demand a reckoning. Whoever was veep was overwhelmingly likely to be the substitute for Dementia Joe after the coup, because too many mechanisms and customs dictated the veep gets the campaign money. Some were dead certain Newsom or Michael Obama (?!?) were going to be the candidate, saying “who could stop the DNC from doing it?” Yet the DNC hasn’t the power of a warlock. Too many rules, laws and competing interests.
This is why it’s so useful for people like TJM and Dave in Fla to inform us of the mechanisms in place that determine how the cheat could occur. Purging voter rolls and a huge decline in mail-in ballots are far more important. As Robert Barnes says, you can’t stuff the ballot box without ballots. And they aren’t mailing them out like in 2020, without requests. Barnes himself recently noted for the first time he hasn’t received multiple NV ballots in the mail.

On a positive note in PA...due to some government officials overstepping their bounds with the Amish, they are voting en masse for Trump. That's about 185,000 votes that usually sit out an election.

Wait a minute. I've been assured the voter fraud *never* happens. Or if it does, it only happens *very* infrequently. And that wide-scale fraud is a good thing....

It's a filibuster, according to the original military definition of the word. It's a strategy of colonization for conquest. People from high population-density regions are being assisted to settle in low-density regions, with an overall goal of forcing a change in government.
The NGOs that are organizing and supplying these freebooters are unlawful combatants waging war.

First place in Fort Bend County was at a school. Line was 2hrs long.
Went to 2nd location which was off the beaten path 4 people ahead of me. In and out in 15 mins.

I've never had a choice of voting places. I've always, even for early voting, only been given one.

Same here. One poll, one vote.

About a decade ago Harris County ended using one polling place for each precinct. They went to about 200 polling locations across the county on election day, about 90 during early voting, that serve multiple precincts. Made possible by using a computer system that displays the proper ballot for the precinct you reside in. That process begins when you sign-in to vote. Clever and convenient but totally dependent on electrical power being up.

Now they just need to get a judge who will say "Well, some of them might be legit so you have to approve all of them just in case."

anectdotal, I know:
In Madison County, IL (bedroom suburbs of STL), there is clearly a blue-to-swing thing in progress. I never saw local GOP officeholders run unopposed previously-- mostly because there weren't any. Now there are, and some of them ARE unopposed this year.
One eyepopping thing: the State's Atty (elected prosecutor) is an heir force guy. Second generation DEM-- his father had the job before him. Junior (he's actually quite competent in his own right) was elected as a DEM. This year, I was astounded to see he's running for re-election as the GOP candidate.
IL is a big blue state-- which contains a small red one within its boundaries.

(about Moreno's lead in OH):
I heard Moreno (R) on Hannity last night (in other words. as fresh as it gets). He said his own internal polling shows him "about half a point ahead." Compare that with the poll you cite, ActiVote, which shows Brown up +3.8%.
ActiVote is more Catholic than the Pontiff, it seems.

And Moreno is running ads saying “Sherrod Brown supports X, Y and Z,” speaking of state policies and laws, and Borwn is responding not with a rebuttal, but with ads saying “Sherrod Brown didn’t vote for X, Y and Z.” The difference is subtle, by characteristic of the dishonesty we’ve come to expect from him.

I have been a little disappointed that Moreno hasn't countered the "muh 'bortions" adds. He has stated in campaign stops that he opposes abortion for any reason. Just own it, dude: aborting after rape or incest just creates two victims instead of one.
I imagine that it's GOPe types trying to "help" Moreno that are running away from this issue.

Moreno's advertisements cite the Senate Roll Call votes tally. Brown is lying (as usual). The first version of the "I'm not for transgenders playing in girl's sports [wink]" mentioned that his vote wasn't binding in Ohio. Brown's team edited that out pretty quick once they realized what they had admitted.
