Hundreds of Hezballah Terrorists Hurt By Online Hate Speech and Israel Remotely Detonating Their Pagers But Mostly by Israel Remotely Detonating Their Pagers

Niiiiiice!

My only reservation is that any brilliant cover operation can usually only be executed once. You rely on the target not even knowing that your exploit is even a possibility. Once you execute the exploit, your ignorance-based advantage is gone. Hezballah and all other terrorists now know to check their electronic devices regularly.

As with killing the Hamas leader in Iran with a bomb slipped under his bed, Israel is burning through a lot of the covert op tricks it's been slipping up its sleeve for decades, and these tricks will be unavailable (or at least, less reliable) in the future.

Still, this is a pretty existential fight and I guess Israel doesn't want to go down holding any of its arrows in its quivers, unused.


Hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists were reportedly injured in separate explosions across Lebanon on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

The widespread detonation was the result of a large number of the terrorists' communication and "wireless" devices suddenly exploding in Lebanon and Syria, according to Axios' Barak Ravid and Reuters. Though it's still unclear who was behind the attack, it comes a day after Israel warned that it was considering taking new actions against an increasingly aggressive Hezbollah.

Israel and Hezbollah have since been engaged in cross-fire skirmishes that have only grown more frequent and sizable since Oct. 7, the date Hamas attacked Israel and started a regional war. The Israeli Defense Minister reportedly told a U.S. envoy on Monday that the time for a diplomatic solution had "passed because Hezbollah continues to tie itself to Hamas and refuses to end the conflict," according to Axios.

It was the "biggest security breach" Hezbollah has experienced since it started engaging with Israel last year, a senior Hezbollah commander told Reuters.

Are you ready for this casualty estimate? I don't think you are.

A current total of 2,800 people, including terrorists, are believed to be injured or killed, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry cited by Axios.

I guess Lebanon could be inflating those numbers, thinking, incorrectly, that a lot of Hezballah terrorists dead or with their fingers and faces half-blown of will elicit sympathy.

What it elicits are Glory Boners.

How long before they start claiming that it was mostly "women and children" talking on Hezballah's phones?

Iran's ambassador to Lebanon was reportedly injured in one of the explosions, according to The Jerusalem Post.

LOL.

In one video, an individual can be seen inside what appears to be a grocery store before a satchel he was carrying explodes. In another video, a person seen inside a store places what appears to be a wireless device on a counter before he is blown back by a similar explosion.

More at the link.

Below, a couple of videos of the small explosions. There is some collateral damage, although the explosions are small enough that I think the non-targets just got light damage from the pocket-bombs.

CNN "Analyst:" The Bad Thing About These Assassination Attempts We're Inciting Is That They Might Benefit Trump Politically

Not so hidden meaning: These assassination attempts we're inciting will help Trump politically, unless we stop missing and actually murder the president.


CNN's Juliette Kayyem lamented the possibility that former President Donald Trump could benefit politically after a second assassination attempt over the weekend, calling the situation a "problem" and "unfortunate."

...

Kayyem continued: "And the reason why this is, you know, in some ways, you know, you said how close the election is, the problem is this is a safety issue that is being thrown into a very intense political environment in which the very fact of an assassination, a constitutional moment, because it's, it could have impacted voters, will be used for political purposes."

"And that, to me, is, is just as not as a, you know, exceptionally unfortunate, because whatever your beliefs are, we do deserve to have campaigns that are not part that where violence isn't being used as either a sword or a shield," she added.

Chris Cuomo, meanwhile, gets close to admitting that these assassins are incited and encouraged by his friends at CNN, and asks why people aren't "apologizing" to Trump. Like I said, he doesn't quite say the words but he seems to be aware that the left is programming assassins to kill. He doesn't say why people should be apologizing to Trump.

If he did, the left would start inciting assassins against him.

28 Ironically, the left admits that these assassination attempts benefit Trump politically. Indeed, the images of a defiant Trump in front of the American flag in the aftermath of the first attempt were so politically powerful that some leftist shitcocks insisted that Trump himself set the whole thing up to make himself look good.

I personally think that assassination attempt, and those iconic images, basically won Trump the election. (If the election is fair, I mean.) That sealed his image in most people's minds and exposed how dirty and desperate his political opponents were.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.

NOT BECAUSE THERE HAD ACTUALLY BEEN ANY ATTEMPTS ON OBAMA BY THE RIGHT but because Oour Betters claimed to be afraid that the Right would try to assassinate Obama.

Stupid, right? All around, because we of the right are law-abiding as opposed to the loony shooters of the left.

That is what is called for right now. Harris, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, any MSM figure or any public figure who's been spreading these lies and blood libels against Trump need to go on camera right now and say that Trump poses no threat to "Our Democracy", that he is no racist, and that Democrats have nothing to fear from him.

You've made me realize that I've heard very little this fall semester about Jewish students getting harassed on campus. I doubt that's because the pro Gaza students grew some empathy over the summer. I suspect there's either an embargo from the media, or a chilling effect for the Jewish students where they are afraid to report incidents, knowing their university and the media are not on their side.

Rando SKS info:

>>>The odd and unexpected thing is that so many parts are serialized. The expected parts have matching stamped serial numbers--stock, receiver cover, bolt, bolt carrier, magazine, trigger guard. But there is also matching electro-pencil serialization of the op-rod, gas tube, and under the rear sight post.

I wonder how many of those parts were serialized and if they got all of them obliterated. If no, it points to a slipshod effort to hide the rifle sourcing. If yes, then someone was VERY determined to cover up the source.

I assume the serial number that was partially effaced was the new one it got as an import - that's the only number that would enter into any US systems (4473, etc).

You have to do a lot of obliterating to get them all, and I suspect there may be some manufacturer to importer serial number database that can be crosschecked, with very few importers existing at any one time for the age range of the rifle and approximate time of import.

You must answer questions as long as there are any, and the questioners must include at least 50% people from the GOP.

No. It sounds like an incredibly successful operation by Israel against Hezbollah. Think about it. How did they get hundreds of pagers onto Hez leaders? They must have placed or turned some top electronic security people close to leadership. They developed pagers that appeared to be super secure, encrypted, whiz-bang devices. The devices had to be functional and yet carry an incendiary payload that could take out a person. They got hundreds of these people to carry these devices on their person. Then they detonated them all at a time when many of these people were wearing them.

This took a MASSIVE amount of skill, planning, risk-taking, balls, and luck. I tip my figurative hat to Mossad for pulling this off.

Cell phones are easily triangulated as well as having their data captured. Pagers avoided both, which makes this even more ingenious, given that they first had to have the intel to create the plan.

Eh, Cuomo's just smart enough to understand that if Trump actually does get assassinated that those who've been playing cutesy little calls of his murder games will be held accountable.

Not that I am calling for anything like that, cuz I'm not , but they're setting the rules that Trump's words that they don't like(?) are reason enough to kill him.

What do they think will happen if people flip that around, as history has shown multiple times, and now apply to them that their words caused the murder of Trump.

This is a stupid game and America is not some craphole, banana republic. I absolutely refute and reject violence of any kind in any political context.

I hope and pray that the Democrats will find the grace to refute their horrible, divisive calls for Trump's murder.

356 I see others have touched on most of it.

"Blockading" Japan (was already in effect) was a "solution" that guaranteed massive excess deaths in Japan, and virtually guaranteed massive excess deaths in several Japanese-occupied areas. It would have guaranteed the death, simply through continued deterioration or execution, of most Allied POWs in Japanese hands.

This scenario also ignores "war weariness" in the US, which was real.

Eventually it might have "worked". So you have 10 to 20 times the excess deaths you ended up having via a "quick end" to the war, which was in itself a close-run thing. And it was never an "A-bomb, or invasion" choice. Op Olympic called for use of 9 A-bombs, if available, 3 for each invasion area on Kyushu.

It's kind of like, it seems, almost all discussions of any significant public policy issue any more: not really a discussion, because one side's premises are 100% false, and on top they employ no logic or common sense. Idiotic conclusion, followed by reverse engineering to "support" it.

Of Course: The Deep State Ignored Multiple Warnings About the Assassin They Recruited and Set to Kill the President

Is it even a conspiracy when they're doing it right out in the open?

Apparently the left's Red Flag laws don't apply to their Manchurian Candidate killers.

Ryan Wesley Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump, had been flagged multiple times to law enforcement for his dangerous behavior prior to his arrest on Sunday. Despite multiple reports to the FBI, State Department, Customs and Border Protection, and Interpol about his "predatory" behavior, and having a firearm despite being a felon, no action was taken.

Key Details:

Chelsea Walsh, who encountered Routh in Ukraine, described him as "predatory" and reported him to Customs and Border Protection in 2022. Walsh also filed reports with the FBI and Interpol in 2023, telling the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that neither Customs and Border Protection nor the FBI followed up on her reports.

Sarah Adams, a former CIA officer, described Routh as a "whack job" and "fraudster." Routh falsely claimed to be recruiting Afghan soldiers for Ukraine, sending messages on Signal and WhatsApp that were reviewed by the WSJ. These claims were denied by Ukrainian officials, and aid groups reported him to the State Department.

In 2019, Routh was also investigated by the FBI after a tipster reported that he possessed a firearm, despite being a convicted felon. According to an FBI official, the tip was initially taken seriously, but the investigation was ultimately closed when the individual who reported the information could not provide verification or further evidence.

I hope Ron DeSantis investigates the FBI, DOJ, DHS, and Secret Service. They're the real criminals here.

I'm going to wait on this one.

"Known to the FBI" has become a meme, but so is "everybody has an FBI file." Were the reports credible? Did the FBI investigate at all? If they did, what did they conclude?

There may be a bit of "if everyone is 'known' to the FBI, then the FBI doesn't know about anyone" thing going on. There is vast amounts of data on every man, woman and child in the world. How much of it can actually be used for the purpose of prediction? My bet is "very little." It's probably *very* useful in retrospect, but not beforehand.

And you know that the SS would never take any info from a private firm seriously since they wouldn't even listen to local LEO's warning them about the PA shooter.

Posted by: Archimedes

It happened in 1994 so, apparently, there's no statute of limitations on dead whale beheading. In 2012, his daughter recounted it.

When she was six, word got out that a dead whale had washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port. Bobby — who likes to study animal skulls and skeletons — ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale's head, and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York. 'Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet,' Kick recalls. 'We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just a normal day-to-day occurrence for us.'

Only in the context of their investigation into the shooter. Fedgov can refuse to answer where the investigation goes. The danger there is that DeSantis does have a certain thoroughness about himself, and he has a crack communications team. I'm guessing the leaks coming out just prior to the election would be highly damaging to the democrats across the entire election field. I'm thinking the feds will have to cooperate enough to stop him from doing that. Because Florida accuses FBI/CIA of planning to assassinate Trump headlines would be a real problem.

The thing I learned from an interview with a former FBI guy is that DHS, unlike the FBI and CIA, literally has no rulebook or procedural guidelines and pretty much has zero accountability or auditing and is free to do pretty much whatever it wants.

284 >>> Since you can't escape the advertising for "Wicked", I looked up the plot to see what all the foofaraw was about. Wholley Kau! what a silly pile of crap.

All you need to now about "Wicked" was it came out during the Bush years, and was a thinly veiled swipe at W, aka the Wizard of Oz, and Republicans as totalitarians. It stuck in the culture because of hummable songs like Popular, and casting Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel in the two powerhouse leads, who took the roles and successfully ran with them. The most schadenfreude moment about Wicked is it lost the Tony award to "Avenue Q," a raunchy adult Sesame Street musical (that ironically has a song called Schadenfreude. It also has the song
"Everyone's a little bit racist," which probably doesn't fly anymore with the left.)

The novel "Wicked" was an adult fractured fairy tale, and I remember liking it, despite an awkward sex scene.

The timing of the Wicked movie, coming out during the Trump election year, feels contrived, though I know it had delays. Also, the girl cast as Glinda was the donut licking Disney tween (no doubt abused by Disney) who stole her current beau from his wife and their baby during filming.

287 The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a federal law in the United States that protects endangered and threatened species and their habitats. The statute of limitations for a violation of ESA depends on the type of violation and the type of enforcement action being taken.

For civil enforcement actions, such as lawsuits brought by the government or private citizens, the statute of limitations is typically five years from the date of the violation.

For criminal enforcement actions, such as the prosecution of individuals or companies for knowingly or willfully violating the ESA, the statute of limitations is typically five years from the date of the violation.

351 Not fully related, but popped up in my head:

Anything going on with Karine Jean-Pierre?

We'd hear about her every other day, usually because Biden would shit himself somehow (figuratively, literally, you decide). And it got to Baghdad Bob levels in the press briefings.

But since the Democrat Coup of the White House and the 2024 Election, plus the newest release of "Kill Trump: Part Deux" on the airwaves, I haven't heard her name mentioned. Granted, only been touching The Five and Gutfeld! because of Greg, but she would normally come up because of one thing or another she'd say.

Is it simply because the rest of the media "Went Full Retard", to quote Tropical Thunder, and there's no air to spare for the briefings?

Or is it because VP Harris is the defacto president right now, and they're keeping her from saying ANYTHING of importance where the VP could mess up royally? Nothing said == nothing to clarify?

They can sniff residue traces, even causally touching it. I'm guessing it would have to be something 'not standard' type of compounds the chem-sniffers or dogs could detect.

Just had another thought, thanks to an Instapundit posting regarding "Turn The Page" on the incumbent.

Say Slow-Joe got hit by the 25th Amendment, and Harris is upgraded to actual President of the USA as a result. I had to go reading to see what then happens with the 22nd Amendment (limiting a president to 2 terms). Per Wikipedia, it sounds as if only partial terms of two years or more would count towards the total. So that wouldn't block a 'fifth' Obama term.

But we're in this nebulous state because Biden isn't acting as a full-time president, but they can't have Harris either because there's too many days for a crisis to happen in the world. After the election? Broken eggs for the never-omelette. But before? They don't trust her not to sink the campaign.

His work used to be a fixture in NYC, but he seems to have fallen out of favor, undoubtedly because he used big words that current actors can't pronounce, and big ideas that directors can't understand.

Never fear! The Woke insanity has come to the rescue of Shaw! One of his better known plays, The Devil's Disciple, is coming to Broadway! I got the mail blurb yesterday and was pleased. I like Shaw very much, I saw TDD when I was a wee lad, and would love to see it again. But looking more carefully, I noticed a few oddities...an all-woman cast? What the hell!

And then the zinger:

In this new adaptation, female ferocity rules as this legendary and almost true historical adventure comedy by BERNARD SHAW is told by five power-house women!

Ah yes...I am Woman...Hear Me Roar! Except it simply does not make any sense with a cast consisting of only women. 1777 America had a social structure that makes a woman playing the lead absolutely nonsensical. Flipping the story on its head may be satisfying for the director and his desire to subvert the dominant paradigm, but the wit of George Bernard Shaw was heavily dependent on the interplay between men and women. Socially, sexually, legally.

It's as if traditional society recognized the differences between the sexes and embedded them deeply.

Who knew!

here's someone who knew...

In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.

There is a very good reason to respect the original play or book or movie. They are reflections of the times in which they were created, and when done well, are a glimpse into the human condition that is common throughout our history. Changing that condition is impossible, no matter how many gender-bending or culture-twisting contortions are inserted.

Our literary traditions expose the universal truths of human (really...Western) culture, and the differences between the sexes are structural, and cannot be changed without bringing down the entire edifice.

Which is their goal.

16 This desire to change the fundamental interplay between characters in adaptations is why so many adaptations fail.

There is a trend today to make the cast of a production look as cosmopolitan as the city in which it's performed, regardless of whether or not it makes sense within the context of the story.

It's just so boring.

There's a reason anyone paying attention can predict this so easily. "We're announcing a new show based on X" and is immediately filled in with, "two-dimensional "strong" woman will subvert the male lead and kick his ass and save herself."

You don't have to be Nostradamus. You just have to have been paying a bit of attention for the past decade or so. This is *everything.* TV, movies, books, comics, games, plays, musicals, operas. Everything. This is the only thing that the entertainment companies have done for years on end.

It's just so freaking boring. Even if there were a modicum of talent or artistic merit on display - and there isn't, but that is beside the point - it would *still* be offensively boring. "It was good, but I'm bored" would be the very best possible interpretation of such a production at this point - and they can't even achieve that, because none of this is any good.

We were a proper country once and devised and executed a plan to spike Viet Cong ammo caches with explosive rounds, killing enemy forces and casting doubt on their supply chain.

Project Eldest Son was a covert op conducted by the United States' Studies and Observation Group (SOG) that carried out the unconventional warfare program.

We may do the same now - and we may have had a hand in this - willing to let Israel take the PR for this one.

We've had a reported history of similar cooperation. See Stuxnet, a computer worm affecting supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, attributed to damage to Iran's nuclear programs.

The theater is a reflection of high society. As high society goes, so goes the theater. If the elites have a modicum of nobility, the theater will as well. If the elites are shallow fools, the theater will be the same. If the elites are malicious dullards, the theater will be an expression of malicious dullness.

My guess is that Israel intercepted a shipment of pagers and modded them to achieve this. Once they go out the door, they wind up wherever Hezbollah sent them. That shipment apparently went to Lebanon, but some got further afield. Those that blew up elsewhere were probably issued in Lebanon. The post-event analysis over the next couple of weeks should be very interesting.

My bet is that *something* happens in the next couple of days. I was speculating on the prior thread that in terms of a surgical strike against cell leadership, this wasn't hugely effective. Lots of injuries and people knocked out of commission for a few hours or days, but few deaths. But now *all* comms are suspect. When will the next one hit? Lebanon has apparently already called for everyone to throw away their mobile devices and replace them.

The real benefit here might have been to cause panic and suspicion of comms, and get the enemy to throw away their own coordination mechanism. That will create an intelligence and response vacuum. That vacuum won't be there for long, but if you what you really want is not corpses but widespread chaos to create an opportunity for something big, this is probably a pretty effective method to achieve it.

Unless they do. Like I said above, the next few days/weeks might be interesting as details unfold and leak out.

My bet is that Israel intercepted a shipment and modified the devices. Elaborate and difficult, but doable. We may find out at some point. Another thing I can think of is remotely-exploitable malware to take advantage of a design flaw that allowed it to force the the device control systems to overdrive the batteries and make them torch off. That is pretty complicated, but within the realm of possibility. If it's something super high-tech like that, it invites lots of uncomfortable questions for Motorola.

I happen to like Lloyd Webber. That being said, Cats couldn't have worked, simply because Eliot's verse was designed to be simplistic and you can really only set it to basic tumpty-tum ditties. "Memory" only worked because Trevor Nunn rejiggered bits and pieces to produce a workable lyric and LW was channeling his inner Puccini.

I find Evita still to be a fasciating, jagged score (especially the original concept album), but nearly everything else he has done without Tim Rice has been dust in the wind. I think Sunset Boulevard was his last good score, and that only because he had the brilliant Wilder-Brackett movie as a source.

Or just sealing in a small packet of explosive by its lonesome. It's just that making it part of the battery wouldn't sacrifice space; it would just make the battery have less charge - for a bit - then a whole bunch of charge.

My thoughts exactly - you don’t deploy a huge, long term op like this just for it to be a one of that irritates Hezballah. Think of the practical effect - all levels of the Hezballah operation are now out of communications with each other, they can’t trust their network.

212 With regard to a female cast of TDD, I would reserve judgement. If they play it straight, it could be quite good. Several years ago, my family saw a production of "Julius Caesar" done by an all-women's theater company in Chicago. I thought it was a terrific production: well acted and directed, and true to Shakespeare's text. Soon into the performance, I forgot that Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and the rest were being played by women, and instead was drawn into the story thanks to the work of some talented thespians who happened to be of the female persuasion.

The big *if*, of course, is being true to the text. If the TDD production is true to Shaw's text, it could be quite good. But if they use it as a vehicle for their own agenda (which sounds likely), it'll be the usual woke crap.

This is probably the point. "How did they do it" is likely *the* question being asked in every intelligence operation on earth.

If it involved physical intervention (adding charges or modifying the devices, etc. prior to delivery), this is a manageable risk. If it was a remote op - some kind of malware that detonated the batteries or somesuch - it's an unmitigated disaster at global scale. If it's the latter, there has to be an immediate assessment of firmware (probably) for every device manufactured in the past couple of decades. There has to be an analysis of power control logic chips (probably) to determine what might be vulnerable to a similar operation. Millions of devices will have to be patched, or replaced if they can't be patched.

Everyone is probably desperately hoping that this was a relatively straightforward hijack-modify-release operation.

263 If it was a remote op - some kind of malware that detonated the batteries or somesuch - it's an unmitigated disaster at global scale. If it's the latter, there has to be an immediate assessment of firmware (probably) for every device manufactured in the past couple of decades. There has to be an analysis of power control logic chips (probably) to determine what might be vulnerable to a similar operation. Millions of devices will have to be patched, or replaced if they can't be patched.

Everyone is probably desperately hoping that this was a relatively straightforward hijack-modify-release operation.

Another reason why they might use them: pagers continue to be used by some emergency services and public safety personnel, because modern pager systems' coverage overlap, combined with use of satellite communications, can make paging systems more reliable than terrestrial based cellular networks in some cases, including during natural and human-made disasters.[5] This resilience has led public safety agencies to adopt pagers over cellular and other commercial services for critical messaging.[6][7]

324 "Except it simply does not make any sense with a cast consisting of only women. 1777 America had a social structure that makes a woman playing the lead absolutely nonsensical. "

When it fails to attract audience it will be the fault of misogynist (and racist) Americans.

Speaking of historical revisionism I started watching some submarine movie set in WWII. I noticed right away there were black crew members which simply didn't happen back then so stopped watching. I don't care about including black soldiers/sailors where it was possible but case like that is simply ridiculous and ruins the movie.

Which bring up a problem for the left. They are writing segregation out of history. Blacks were everywhere and in fact running many things. So why all the complaining about segregation and Jim Crow?

386 Another reason why they might use them: pagers continue to be used by some emergency services and public safety personnel, because modern pager systems' coverage overlap, combined with use of satellite communications, can make paging systems more reliable than terrestrial based cellular networks in some cases, including during natural and human-made disasters.[5] This resilience has led public safety agencies to adopt pagers over cellular and other commercial services for critical messaging.[6][7]

412 Unfortunately Israel will probably not tell us exactly how they did it. But yeah, must have been some explosive in there, and a trigger I guess. And they still had to be functional. Or maybe they could make the batteries overheat enough to set off a small plate of explosive material?

But nice they could get them to so many bad guys, without much collateral damage.

Since you can't escape the advertising for "Wicked", I looked up the plot to see what all the foofaraw was about.

Wholley Kau! what a silly pile of crap. There is nothing in there that really relates at all to the "Wizard of Oz". Except there's an eeeeeeeeeeevil wizard, who wants to make Oz' animals unable to talk. Huh???

And his daughter who got turned green by the eeeeeeeeevil wizard's eeeeeeeeeevil potion.

That's about it.

Lots of songs, I guess, about "you go grrrrrrl" and/or "whining about why does no one accept me????".
Cuz it's very popular with the ladies.

Well...congrats, I guess. For making big bucks by shitting all over childhood entertainment.

This is no more or less than a big dollar, snazzy, all-singing, all-dancing version of "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey".

Talk about rubbish - the Jack Lemmon character ends up deciding that he actually LIKES being a cross dresser, and on top of that, there is an entire song dedicated to his "awakening" to the idea that he actually has been gay all along.

78 This is Mannerism. Mannerism was the style that came into vogue about the mid-1500s. It is the next generation of artists after the High Renaissance and experiments with the innovations and expectations the the older style. It's not as stuffy. A lot of mannerist art is overtly playful or purposefully "off".

90 I'm amazed at Bronzino's ability to capture the details of cloth, clothing, and accoutrements. They are almost photo-realistic. The expressions and postures of the models are not wooden but seem natural and expressive. The skin tones of his subjects are perhaps too perfect but the colors are realistic and pleasing. (Got to keep the customers happy.) I really like his work.

The one problem is the hands. In this painting and others I saw on Wiki the fingers always seem disproportionately long. It's a minor quirk but I find it distracting.

185 Re: no Harris voters in restaurants

If some asshole with a camera randomly shows up in a restaurant asking to talk to you about politics, how many would raise their hand? I wouldn’t. I’m there for a meal not to get interrogated by the news. Imagine you are caught off guard and says something stupid, your face is plastered all over the local news. Thanks but no.

If anything this shows how nobody, even on the left, trusts the msm.

It’s not communism. The federal government is simply taking your money and handing it to immigrants for food and shelter while you struggle to afford eggs.

Does that sound like communism?

189 "Dozens of members of Hezbollah were seriously wounded on Tuesday in Lebanon's south and the southern suburbs of Beirut when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, security sources told Reuters.

A Reuters journalist saw hundreds of Hezbollah members bleeding from wounds in the southern suburb of Beirut known as Dahiyeh.

According to reports, the phones were called before the explosion for some period of seconds to increase the chance that whoever received the call would pick it up and be maximally wounded. Shortly before the explosions, there were reports of a special meeting between Mossad Director David Barnea and Netanyahu.

The news comes only hours after the Shin Bet revealed that Hezbollah recently attempted to assassinate a top former Israeli defense official in Tel Aviv."

In my mind, I envision a remotely exploitable firmware bug that causes the device to overdrive the cheap Chinese batteries and make them torch off. Super elegant and elaborate high-tech strike.

It probably isn't that. It probably a supply chain interdiction to replace the devices. But man, the "firmware bug" thing would make for a great subplot in a spy thriller.

That is a major coup, and might have been the point.

A probably fairly complicated but also fairly cheap, limited and - crucially - largely ineffective attack (looks like injuries but no death among the targets) is getting them to throw out their own comms. That will be fixed soon and the equipment will be replaced, but it is going to be hugely disruptive for several days and seriously harm cell-to-cell (terror cell, not phone network cell) coordination. It will cause that moment of hesitation every time the phone rings.

So, an intelligence and psy op, rather than primarily a military op. That's my guess.

Everything has its purpose. Sometimes it takes a long time to figure out that purpose.

Like Nevada. Why does Nevada exist? Nobody knew. For centuries, it was a puzzle. It was there, but nobody could figure out *why* the Almighty would create such a place. We conquered it, of course - it's the way of man - but the conquest was empty. All we got was Nevada, and Nevada had no reason to exist.

Or so it appeared. Countless centuries after the first man staked a claim in Nevada, we finally found its purpose. We would eventually need a place to test atomic weapons and hide vast airbases and the like in places inhospitable and undesirable.

We found Nevada's purpose. Eventually, we find the purpose in everything.

I look forward to the DeSantis Presidency. He knows the moment and understands the tools.

Let 1) Trump return to collect scalps, exact vengeance, and slash Deep State, 2) Vance to implement the vastly castrated State to a perfunctory, Constitutional Republic, and 3) DeSantis to reinforce the new ramparts while hearing the lamentations of the "women". That would make a nice, round, twenty years of reform.

Yes, but then again, no.

Virtually all crimes, I suspect, have a cell phone present. A lot of them are freaking live-streamed on social media. In this country, most people use old-fashioned SMS text messages, which ain't exactly secure (interesting market reasons for that, as opposed to Europe and Asia where messaging apps are more common).

It doesn't seem to be an impediment. Either there's no desire to use the high-tech information to try to solve the crime, or there's so much high-tech information that separating signal from noise is too difficult unless it's something stupendously important.

The Morning Report — 9/17/24

SickHillary.jpg

Good Morning Kids. It is just beyond revolting, if not completely predictable, that in the wake of the second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump that the loudest, shrillest voices within the Democrat Party and the media – which as we all know is in point of fact a redundancy – have the unmitigated, radioactive temerity to actually blame him for the attempts on his life. After almost every second of every day for nine straight years of comparing him to Adolph Hitler and sliming anyone who supports him as not only a racist bigot but of willing to throw those unlike them into concentration camps or worse to fulfill the alleged goal of turning America into a white Christian nationalist theocracy (a hoary old retread of a theme going back to Ronald Reagan if not to Barry Goldwater) Projection ain't just a river in Egypt.

It's kind of funny since mere days before the 2008 election, Barack Obama promised to "fundamentally transform" the United States of America. Into what, he never said, but judging from the poisoned rhetoric of his apostate priest and confessor, Jeremiah Wright, as well as the words and deeds of his likely real father and mentor Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed Stalinist and Soviet agent, it was no stretch of the imagination to connect the dots. In point of fact, considering everything that is happening here at home and quite a bit of what's going on abroad we are only beginning to reap the whirlwind of what Obama has just begun to sow.

All things considered, the fact that Donald Trump openly ran to stop that in an effort to Make America Great Again, and that he handily beat a machine intent on continuing the destruction with Hillary Clinton as the combined Eva Peron/Lucretia Borgia as its leader was in and of itself nothing short of miraculous.

This evil gin-blossom of a harridan has been the tip of the spear to take him down both for personal reasons as well as political ever since. So naturally, she had this to say:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that former President Donald Trump’s politics of “hate and division” put the United States’ security in danger.

Clinton said, “I’m very hopeful, and even optimistic that Americans who do not want to see a continuation of this politics of hate and division will reject Trump.” She continued, “The object in this case is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world. You know, they were merciless about what they saw as [so-called quote-unquote] President Biden’s problems in the debate and calling for him to withdraw. I believe Donald Trump has disqualified himself over and over and over again to be a presidential candidate, let alone a president.”

The only thing Donald Trump endangers is the Democrat-Left's near stranglehold on power that it has achieved by subverting and dismantling as much of the American founding via legislative action,a corrupted judiciary and the unconstitutional bureaucracy said corrupted judiciary have consistently rubber-stamped as legitimate at least since the FDR era if not before. The only way to make America "great" again is to make America "America" again, and that means the utter defeat and dismantling of the Democrat/Leftist/Socialist/Globalist enterprise that has brought us to the brink of total dissolution, after a nearly 200-year counter-American revolution.

Which leads me to my next disgusting sampling of poisonous vomitus:

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) said that it’s “dangerous” for the Trump campaign to blame Democratic rhetoric for the recent attempted assassination of 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump and that doing so is “precisely what they shouldn’t be doing at a moment when they should be taking down the political temperature.” And also responded to Republicans saying they don’t trust the federal government by stating that “if you work hard enough to delegitimize the government in the eyes of Americans, you’re going to create a very dangerous environment.”


The rhetoric is voluminous, Himes (at least until Google and the other Mandarins of the Internet get a chance to erase it from the memory banks) as is the evidence of both a stolen election, Intel agencies colluding with Hilary Clinton to fabricate the Russia Collusion hoax against Trump, two impeachment attempts based on that hoax, trumped up charges in several jurisdictions based on Trump's first amendment rights to challenge the results of that election, that have been twisted into the so-called 1/6 insurrection, which in point of fact was a Pelosi-led plot engineered with or mostly by Federal intel and LE agencies as a false flag operation to arrest and convict Trump of treason and as pretext to delegitimize if not totally outlaw any and all opposition to Democrat power.

I'll say it here and now, the greatest threat to the security and freedom of the American people was and always will be the Democrat Party. The record is crystal clear as my good friend, the brilliant author and historian Michael Walsh has laid out in exacting detail in his great and important work.

The People V. the Democratic Party

His latest is the perfect companion book, which I am currently devouring con gusto Against the Corporate Media

The danger we face by this multi-headed Hydra that seeks our submission or death for defying their delusions of grandeur, superiority and self-declared right to create a nation in their own satanic image is as real as two assassination attempts on Trump, two on Gerald Ford, the ones that took out JFK, RFK and even MLK, along with Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley – not to mention what we've seen in Springfield Ohio and elsewhere, in the wake of the death of George Floyd, the race to turn America's children into Frankenstein catamites, and every other perversion, depredation and criminal act to rob us of our future.

These are fighting words, to be sure and intended to make your blood boil. Does that mean I want you to go grab a weapon and take a pot shot at someone? Of course not. But because I dare even speak these truths, in the eyes of the Left that makes me a threat to our precious democracy (vomit) and potentially someone that needs to be on a terror watch list.

Which is funny given that that the psycho school shooter in Georgia last month was being watched by the FBI and the local police, and yet, and yet!

Turns out this Routhi Houthi rebel was being tracked by intel agents via his cell phone for many hours before the attempt to take out Trump. And yet, and yet!

Basta cosi. Have a good day.

12 Good morning again dear morons and happy birthday JJ

Routh’s son however illustrates the contrasting attitude of the base as well as the leadership of today’s Democrat Party. They don’t simply disagree, they hate. Worse, they think that hatred is “reasonable,” and that everyone “reasonable” agrees with it.

And it is perfectly ok to attack or kill people you "hate." Because that is also reasonable.

14 Trump ought to be making plans* to have a loyal set of operatives / marshals / whatever ready to arrest every Democrat who has slandered him as inciters of violence. Throw them in Gitmo, along with the publishers of every major 'news'paper in the country.

But he won't. He can't, because I honestly believe that he still believes there are decent, honorable people in the government. He is wrong, and that is not just his blindspot but, IMO, his deadly failing.

Whatever. I'm just a living black pill asshole commenter on a Smart Military Blog.

15 As has been noted, there is something completely unpalatable about Trump to the lunatics that run the world, so it's highly doubtful they let him assume the Presidency.

It appears they simply cannot conjure the needed fake ballots to counter what they see in internal polling.

So they are going to have their Sic Semper Tyrannis moment if it's the last thing they do.

As others have noted, the next time will probably be someone in his USSS detail simply pumping slugs into him.

Battle of Antietam, 162 years ago today
Posted by: PA Dutchman


"As the range grew better, the firing became more rapid, the situation desperate and exasperating to the last degree. Human nature was on the race, and there burst forth form it the most vehement, terrible swearing I have ever heard. Certainly the joy of conflict was not ours that day. The suspense was only for a moment, however, for the order to charge came just after. Whether the regiment was thrown into disorder or not, I never knew. I only remember that as we rose, and started all the fire that had been held back so long was loosed. In a second the air was full of the hiss of bullets and the hurtle of grape-shot. The mental strain was so great that I saw at the moment he singular effect mentioned, I think, in the life of Goethe on a similar occasion - the whole landscape for an instant turned slight red." - David Thompson, 9th New York Regiment

Interesting phrasing.

She isn't directly saying that Trump is engaged in the politics of hate and division, because Hate, Division, Violence and Corruption are features of the Democrat Party brand.

the clue here is the part "...a continuation of..." which means that while Trump has been making billions of dollars elsewhere while simultaneously dealing with the Hate, Division, Violence and Corruption of the Left in Trump's legal dealings and multiple assassination attempts its the last four years (at the least) where the Left while in office have been dealing out these evil policies.

What she is promising is that the Left will go full Bolshevik and unlock the gates of Hell if the cheat isn't enough to lock in the Left's ability to bring the entire world into permanent darkness.

One of the major problems with mail-in ballots is that the people who lack enough enthusiasm for a candidate to drive to a polling booth and stand in line for half an hour WILL spend five minutes filing out a ballot and drop it in the mail.

The Muslim Justice League announced it is holding a vigil for Caleb Gannon, the man who was shot in the stomach after he tackled a veteran at a peaceful pro-Israel protest on Thursday in Newton, Mass.

“Caleb, a lifelong Newton resident and a Jew committed to Palestinian liberation, was shot by a Zionist in Newton,” the group wrote. “Caleb confronted those defending genocide in his neighborhood.”

The group says that the vigil is for “all of our martyrs” and “all who resist.” . . .
The vigil will also honor Matt Nelson, a man who reportedly set himself on fire Wednesday across from the Israeli consulate and Chabad house in Boston. In a video of his self-immolation shared by anti-Israel group BDS Boston, Nelson says he is calling on the United States government to “stop supplying Israel with money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent Palestinians.”

68 And so here’s the situation: chance Harris wins the popular vote at this point is about 70%, but the chance she wins the electoral college is only about 50%. So the bottom line is, at this hour, John, there‘s about a 20% chance that Kamala Harris wins the popular vote but actually loses in the electoral college,” he added.

So... Harris leads with Dems (natch), Trump leads with Reps (natch), Trump also leads with Independents - now the largest voting block, but Harris leads overall.

I guess the "imaginary and illegal" block has overtaken the independents for biggest.

70 As has been noted, there is something completely unpalatable about Trump to the lunatics that run the world, so it's highly doubtful they let him assume the Presidency.

It seems likely that a goodly portion of that is Trump's opposition to them using children as sex toys. Recall that Trump put into place a federal effort to locate and free missing children which Biden immediately ended.

72 I botched my Comment about Jose Andres by posting it in the wrong thread. For sure, he is a hard-core leftist and a camera hog. You remember when Sergio Garcia won the Masters And Jose Andres hugged the camera as if he meant something.

I recall his restaurant in Virginia when they used to sell Yuengling beer at a low price for happy hour. Someone tipped off the dumb Spaniard The Yingling was not woke, so he locked the taps. It shows how fake and cheap these people are because he offered one beer for happy hour at a lower price and when he locked down Yingling, they said no beers are available even though they had many Spanish beers on tap.

Sure this prick is so woke. You would never sell Yuengling again, But he is so cheap he would not offer a Spanish beer on tap for happy hour to make up for it. I No, a lot of people don’t like Andres but my guess is no one else knows about that one.

So... Harris leads with Dems (natch), Trump leads with Reps (natch), Trump also leads with Independents - now the largest voting block, but Harris leads overall.

The problem with polling is they'll use the turnout numbers from the last election to project turnout percentages this election. Sort of like driving a car around a racetrack by only looking in the rear view mirror.

Independents will decide this election. Partisan Democrats and partisan Republicans (according to my tea leaves) cancel each other out. Do the people in the middle want inflation, endless wars, high energy costs, more immigration in their communities, and all the other nightmares of the past nearly four years? I sure hope not.

IrishEi and I were just discussing this video of Mike Benz being interviewed on Steve Bannon's show yesterday. For those who don't know who Benz is he is a former State Dept official who over the last couple years has been detailing how the deep state or as he calls it the "intelligence blob" works.

You might think he's a kook and maybe he is but Donald Trump doesn't think so. He's been to Mar A Lago and does videos with Don Jr. so Trump is at listening to what he says.

This video gives a pretty plausible explanation for where Routh has been, what he's been doing and how he was able to travel. It also has a pretty troubling tie in to how 9/11 happened. Worth 15 minutes of your time.

105 Low-paid migrants are costing taxpayers nearly $200,000 each by the time they reach retirement age in the United Kingdom, as they contribute far less than they receive in government services like healthcare.

That may be true, but you are assuming that the quality/integrity of the required materials and craftsmanship that is necessary to produce a functioning weapon goes against a fine tradition of both nation's MIC of shoddy practices, poor quality components and outright fraud in every step of the production/deployment chain.

I will be joyful in God my Savior.

In the movie The Usual Suspects, where the quote about the devil came from, the real villain, a guy named Verbal Kint, who was behind all of the carnage made up a Turkish gangster he named Keyser Söze and wove a story that pinned all the blame on him for all types of crimes. While everyone was busy trying to find and catch Soze Kint was free to continue his crimes without anyone watching him. The magician's trick.

The left is busy blaming Trump for all of the chaos going on right now and we are busy trying to point the blame back on them with some justification but the real criminals are in our permanent government and they go about their business largely unnoticed and unaccountable.

The intel community is pretty good at lying. Pretty much the job description.

---------------------
In September 1939, France began a brief offensive into the Saar region of western Germany, but later withdrew. This event, known as the Saar Offensive, was part of the Battle of France during World War II:
Mobilization
France mobilized 98 divisions and 2,500 tanks, while Germany mobilized 43 divisions.
Advance
France advanced 5 kilometers into the Saar region from the Maginot Line.
Withdrawal
On September 17, France withdrew its troops to their starting positions after encountering the Siegfried Line.
Phoney War
After the Saar Offensive, the Allies dug in along their borders and there was no fighting for the rest of the winter. This period of inaction became known as the "Phoney War".

237 There is one other fact of life worth noting. Having more of your own group—blacks or women—in politically powerful positions has no positive effect whatsoever on your group.

-------

Absolutely 100% correct. The only group that matters to the ruling class is the ruling class. It hates the subject classes and views them as nothing more than source of wealth and power, as a resource to be consumed.

Anyone you maneuver into a position of power will join that class and do its bidding at your expense, or they'll be sidelined and/or forced out. Keeping the plebes in their place is its entire raison d'etre.

Carlin had a riff where he talked about how the elites are a separate group and "you ain't in it".

The same is true for say black pols vs normal black people. Trump tried to point this out at various points asking "what do you have to lose by voting for the other side?" with some effectiveness in 16/20 but it looks to be resonating now.

Of course what percentage of urban votes are actually cast by urban voters is an open question.

260 "...in the wake of the second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump that the loudest, shrillest voices within the Democrat Party and the media – which as we all know is in point of fact a redundancy – have the unmitigated, radioactive temerity to actually blame him for the attempts on his life."

JJ, they do this both because they hate him, and because they want no one to give him any sympathy - thus humanizing him.

I realized this reading a blog comment a couple days after the July 13 attempt on Trump's life. The author is a DU-type nut job. He wrote he was appalled the media and Democrat politicians were giving any bit of sympathy to Trump. Because, he wrote, he deserves none for anything after all the horrible things he's done and his constant lying.

This is likely why the SS and FBI are slow-walking the investigation of July 13. The failures and incompetence are so terrible that a full accounting would cause people to feel sympathy for Trump and contempt for the Junta, i.e., Kamala. Can the Junta keep the lid on the July 13 failures for the next 49 days? It's possible, with the help of the Media Lapdogs. Just as with Hunter's laptop.

Many police cars have ALPRs built into them. Many traffic cameras have that ability too.

You can download Open Source ALPR software right now and put it on your phone and drive through a parking lot and the camera and the OCR software will process those plates far faster than you can. The newer stuff can also use Computer Vision to determine make, model, year, trim and color of the car. So all an operator has to do is dial in any of those filters and sit back and wait for the system to not only locate the car, but also reconstruct its path and predict its destination.

How do I know? Because I wrote software to do just that.

Being that a lot of ALPR readers operate on a tight IR spectrum (so that they work at night on the specific light reflective plate paint) a forged plate jumps right out as being suspicious.

Given how lazy LEOs are, just steal a crap car, put on a faded paper dealer plate and go about your criminal business. It won't trigger any ALPRs and unless you are really behaving in a suspicious manner, won't solicit a stop.

354 JD Vance: The big difference between conservatives and liberals is that no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple months. I'd say that's pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric.

Threatening the life of the vice president is a crime. Who does this guy think he is? Besides, both of the assassins have been disgruntled MAGAts going after your own running mate, you idiot beardo

Maybe fans of TCF are gigantic pieces of shit in general, and Harris fans are not. That is a more plausible explanation than this mystery unspecified rhetoric.

Now about those bomb threats to an Ohio city resulting from DJ's racist "created for media impact" knowingly false accusations...

repukes do EVERYTHING they can to ensure every nutcase can have a gun, then they get upset ONLY when THEY become the targets - FUCK THEM ALL

362 >>Trump would not have beat Hillary without the debates. Though he is definitely a special case.


I believe Trump won because he kept saying things that most normal people thought but was no longer said by the MSM and DC (both sides). He spoke uncomfortable truths. Starting with immigration. in 2016 75% people in a poll said immigration needed to be reduced, yet 16 of the 17 GOP candidates were too scared or bought to say anything but immigration=love.

For me, it was that he spoke honestly about Hillary, instead of being like every Republican who pretends to like and respect her. What really impressed me, though, was how he had Peter Schwizer advising him, and at his rallies he had new info daily on the Clinton's crimes and the email hacks.

The debates were good, but he was different from the get-go, and he worked hard on the trail in the weeks and months leading up to election day.

The guy was relevant in DC and New York City in the 1980s. I can’t believe people are still listening to him. Even in the 1980s, he was literally hated and for good reasons. I get some blue color types, found his obscenity funny at the time, but if anyone listens to him for political reasons now, They are so far gone they should simply be discounted. I can’t believe people are still talking about this guy he makes Larry King seem young, hip, and relevant.

Putin is a leader who knew approximately 27,000,000 Russians died at the hand of the Nazi's in WWII. I suspect that flavors his perception of modern day Nazi's killing Russians in Ukraine.

I suspect wanna be shooter did some research, saw that Trump had a couple day open schedule, and decided to take a chance. Other theories are that Lindsay Graham was invited to golf with him earlier that day and declined.

432 Thanks, J.J. Good morning, all.

NYTime ran an article, "Three Undecided Voters, Two Swing States, One Big Decision." Quick little read, nothing controversial imo. But judging from the comments it drew, I'm wrong.

Partial quotes, a bit of paraphrasing, in response to the article: She won't incite an insurrection against our democracy; Most undecided voters can't decide whether their bigotry outweighs any moral qualms; Undecided voters want attention. Perverse.; Undecided voters shouldn't be allowed to vote.; Undecideds never mention what's best for the country; they only think of money issues.; To be undecided is denial the convicted ( ) to dismantle Democracy with the "Stop the Steal" J6 attempted Coup." And so on.

Gutless, partisan keyboard bullies who'd line up & laugh if groups of people, not of their opinions, were lined up for prison - or a boxcars ride.

Like they do now for certain individuals.

2+2=5

All, imo.

20 It seems very unlikely Intel ever had a serious shot at producing the PS6 innards. While it is reasonably competitive on the CPU side, it's GPU IP, especially the version integrated with a CPU, is severely trailing AMD. Not as badly as a few years ago but it's still playing catch-up with where AMD APUs were when the PS5 launched in 2020. Nividia has much to offer on the GPU side but they're well behind Apple and Qualcomm on the ARM CPU side. They're only attractive if Sony is dead set on going to ARM. Even then, AMD (particularly the part of it that was once ATI) has a history with Qualcomm and could partner with them to keep Sony happy.

Trivia: an early Qualcomm SOC for mobile devices had what was essentially the Xbox 360 GPU for its own GPU.

Going to ARM with a semi-portable similar to the Nintendo Switch seems like a possibility for a future Xbox product. Word has it that the hardware engineering for future Xbox models has been put under the Surface division. The same division that has been working closely with Qualcomm on ARM based Windows laptops.

No, at a PJ's. CC's Coffee Houses (for Community Coffee, for those not familiar) have almost vanished around here. There is one near the Barnes & Noble in the suburbs, and one, I think, on my side of the river. But two in the Uptown shopping/residential area sank during the Sniffle Scare. One, which I miss, was near my work, in a grand old Victorian building that once housed a neighborhood pharmacy.

The PJ's right near my house, which I pass every morning, opens at 5 am, so it's convenient too.

It would be similar to tracking by helicopter, just far less costly and far more numerous. A helicopter isn't going to stop a fleeing car but it does allow the cops to coordinate where to spring the trap with spike strips and a small army of vehicles.

A drone can be very difficult to spot from the driver's seat or even for a passenger. The suspect can be allowed to believe he's escaped and head for someplace where he'd stop and leave the vehicle. Wacky antics ensue.

Why is there so much cheating in the Biological/Medical Sciences? 1. A lot of money is involved. 2. A lot of the data is, perforce, not quantitative and therefore so much harder to check or duplicate. But there's more that I can't put my finger on.

53 Cats are cute and cuddly and effusive. Currently I have Bailey fast asleep in a sort of sitting up position, squeezed in between the armrest and my hip. He loves it like that. When I talk to him he'll loll his head while looking at me and if I use 'loving' words he'll give me little nips as an expression of love.
What more may I ask for from a dumb animal?
He's just a stripey gray tabby and I love him.

65 It all started with Black Lives Matter, and whoever that guy was. For sure that wasn’t the start, but that is when it became clear that political violence from the left was OK in this country.

Some say this all things started to unravel when Obama was elected. I personally think it happened when Clinton was elected. That was the day we as a country decided you no longer have to be a war veteran or a man of prominence, You can be a sideshow and that alone will make you president

Some cloth got entailed in the pin, and the pin was not removed before the throw.

70 When people say the Democrat party is changed and it is something worse I keep wondering when did that change happen?

-

Right after JFK, and for the same reasons we're seeing the inside attempts on Trump right now.

The party didn't change. The government itself did. There were no Democrat or Republican differences through those years. Those are terms to make the movement left easier to swallow, with both "sides" working towards the same globalist goal and the only difference being speed. We've had anti-Americans at the helm for 40 years or so, and in 2016 the mask got accidentally removed in an election where the machine hadn't properly prepared sufficient fraudulent votes to cover.

It's why Trump (and we) are so hated right now. A once-again great America is a threat to their plans, and they'll do anything they need to in order to stop it.
