Terror-Sympathizers Attempt Takeover of UT Austin; Greg Abbott Sends in the Texas National Guard
So parading to shut down a government-funded school is a major crime for which people should be jailed without trial for years, I figure.Rising tensions on school campuses across the country over the Israel-Hamas reached university campuses here in Texas. Hundreds of students at the University of Texas at Austin walked out of class in support of Palestine. Many held up signs calling for a ceasefire or more help for Gaza. Dozens of state troopers in riot gear asked the students to disperse. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) said law enforcement officers arrested more than 20 people on the UT campus. Protesters were heard chanting, "Release our students." "Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses," Gov. Greg Abbott said via social media. "These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled." Protesters are demanding the university system divest from companies that manufacture machinery used in war. DPS said it responded to the UT campus in Austin Wednesday at the request of the University and at the direction of Gov. Abbott "to prevent any unlawful assembly and to support UT Police in maintaining the peace by arresting anyone engaging in any sort of criminal activity, including criminal trespass."Now that I've vented -- Heather MacDonald makes a great point that we must be careful not to endorse the left's own crackdown on dissenting views by deploying the same tactics. Otherwise the left will just go further in its own authoritarianism -- and right now, they control almost every single institution, private or governmental. In Florida, police almost immediately arrested communist/islamist gangsters for highway-blocking "protesters."
In their latest demonstration, pro-Palestine protesters in Miami termed their activity as an "economic blockade," through a longstanding state law that defines obstructing traffic without a permit. A small group of individuals who organized a Tax Day protest now face second-degree misdemeanors. People protesting the rising death toll in Gaza were pulled away and handcuffed by Miami police officers after blocking traffic on Biscayne Boulevard near Bayside in downtown Miami on Monday. Most of them are in their twenties and reside in Miami. Their charges, according to police, are unrelated to the subject of their demonstration. Their offenses revolve around blocking a roadway without proper authorization. Specifically, they employed their bodies to block a crosswalk, using homemade devices known as "sleeping dragons" to interconnect protesters. These devices, typically made from painted PVC pieces, fasten several demonstrators together.Someone pointed out that pro-terrorist "protesters" were given four hours to block traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge, as critical a traffic artery as there is. In Florida, they were given fifteen minutes. Of course, Florida cops are protecting the protesters by arresting them, because DeSantis signed a law giving motorists the right to run the f*ck over protesters if they're blocking the streets two years ago. Abbott and DeSantis are playing a game of Quien es mas macho? Who's winning? We all are, my friends. We all are. I can't find that sketch on YouTube, but enjoy this barely-related one.

Deny them basic medical care!
Maybe throw in a bit of torture and psyop tactics!
Force them to confess to things they did not do! (Maybe hug a puppy or guide a Jewish grandma across the street.)

Even at USC (which shut down a protest yesterday, and is only allowing students and faculty on campus today) many non-Jewish students don't seem to like the protestors. There's an awareness that chanting about rivers and seas refers to genocide of the Israelis.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Fourteen people were arrested during a Thursday morning protest calling for a cease-fire in Gaza outside the Indiana Governor’s Residence on Meridian Street.
Jewish Voice for Peace-Indiana, a group that says it’s made up of Indianapolis-based college students, staged the Seder IN Action rally around 7:30 a.m. at Tarkington Park to demand a cease-fire in Gaza and an end to U.S. aid to Israel.
About half an hour later, the protesters had moved onto Meridian Street south of the park and were blocking intersections, forcing Indianapolis police to close the southbound lanes between 49th and 46th streets.

But it is the oblivious character of the left that they will charge that you are shutting down their speech if you arrest them for rioting and threatening Jews.
Just like if a school, funded by the State, which used to be selections be put into the library receives word from the State, that they are not to place certain graphic books on the shelf, the left calls it "book burning".
There are a lot of vanity press authors who would like some space on those shelves, but the State or the school has no obligation to give them space. So selecting curriculum is now called "banning" when the left needs it.

There were worse riots at several other Ohio schools that went down normally. Kent had some pretty green National Guard fellows whose leaders marched them about aimlessly, got them kinda trapped by a fencing line and when trying to extricate themselves some few fired when the crowd chasing them surged to them. I think a couple of the ones that died weren't even involved in the riot.

A riot isn't a "view" it is an action.
Protests have rules, a location, security provided by the state and you say your bit and go home. Actions of destruction and blocking traffic are not protests, if you care that much go to jail and be a martyr.

Actually, we shouldn't employ the same tactics. We must do much much worse. They started it and need to be educated on why their authoritianism and violence will not be tolerated. Take it to an extreme that they realize what a mistake they made starting it.

Huge SCOOP by @abigailandwords for @NRO:
Princeton students are planning an encampment.
A recruiting document shows they know they’re breaking the rules but don’t expect serious consequences.
They say they “have a trained security team, pro bono legal support, and ‘faculty members on our side to negotiate with administration.’”
Much more in the article linked below!
Update: Abigail Anthony @abigailandwords Apr 24
UPDATE: VP Calhoun sent an email to all undergrads warning of arrests. An organizer of the protest called this "a partial bluff" and confirmed plans to continue with the encampment.
“‘Arrest’ is not the same as ‘pressing charges,’” the organizer wrote.

This was Abbott's tweet:
"Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses.
These protesters belong in jail.
Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period.
Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled."
I'd say at least 75% of Texas agrees with him very strongly on that.

Tucker Carlson: Dropping Two Nukes to End WWII Was "Prima Facie Evil"
Tucker Carlson continues his headlong rush to the far left.
He also seems to call for denuclearization. Even better. He showed off his newly woke philosophy for Joe Rogan, who is now certainly more rightwing than Tucker Carlson.I love, by the way, that people on my side -- I'll just admit it, on the Right -- have spent the last 80 years defending dropping nuclear weapons on civilians. Like, are you joking? That's just, like, prima facie evil. If you can't -- 'Well, if we hadn't done that, then this, that, the other thing, that was actually a great savings' -- like, no. It's wrong to drop nuclear weapons on people, and if you find yourself arguing that it's a good thing to drop nuclear weapons on people, then you are evil. Like, it's not a tough one, right? It's not a hard call for me. So, with that in mind, like, why would you want nuclear weapons? It's like just a mindless, childish sort of intellectual exercise to justify, like, 'Oh no, it's really good because someone else could get' -- how about, no? How about spending all of your effort to prevent this from happening?I've become less and less interested in what this conspiracy-minded wreck thinks. He's been honeydicked by Glenn Greenwald. A lot of people support Tucker Carlson for opposing the GOP Establishment. That's great. But you know who else opposes the GOP Establishment? The far left. And more and more of Tucker Carlson's positions are from the hard left. Nevermind his conspiratorial fascination with UFOs, which I thought was all a ratings stunt but no, he seems to really Believe.
By the end of Tucker's "evolution," he'll be telling us that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has "some serious ideas, which should be taken seriously." I oppose the American Deep State. That means I now have to believe in... Vladimir Putin?!? On Tucker Carlson, and some others of the right, I'm reminded of G.K. Chesterton's aphorism: "When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything." I feel like a lot of people -- and I include myself in this -- long believed in (this is embarrassing) American institutions like the FBI, CIA, judiciary, and even the corporate class. (Oh Lord...) Now we no longer believe in those things. But, as Chesterton observed, the end of belief in some things often does not result in skepticism for everything -- it often results in the former believer seeking to believe in anything else. And for some (understandably) disappointed former righties, it results in finding new beliefs in the core dogmas of the far left. People have a need to believe, for belief makes order of chaos, and often those who abandon beliefs fly quickly into the arms of a fresh belief system. The old beliefs may have been rejected, but the need to believe remains. Rather than waking up and deciding to no longer believe in stupid nonsense, some, like Tucker Carlson, are on a spiritual quest to find new stupid nonsense to believe in. Below, Tucker Carlson insists he has knowledge that the intelligence agencies are blackmailing congressmen -- but also says he can't say who's confessed to being blackmailed. I would find this more compelling if he didn't make this announcement in the same rant in which he decries the cover-up of "UAPs" -- Unidentified Aerial Pheonomenon, which is the new term for "UFOs" so you can avoid saying "UFOs."
Holy Shizzles!

“people… pic.twitter.com/XM6vaGufKF
And when someone hides something, I conclude they have reason to hide it. That is, when someone acts as if their beliefs are shameful, I believe that person is probably right about those beliefs being shameful. Tucker Carlson seems to have some reason to hide his new improved beliefs -- and I think he's got enough self-awareness to know that spreading antisemitic "Jews control everything" conspiracy theories is slightly shameful. I know, I know -- he's just asking questions. He doesn't have any suggested answers in mind. His mind is just a blank page. If he has evidence to support his new suspicions, then he should present it. Just repeatedly muttering about all the congressmen who tell him this in secret isn't cutting it. More: What is "Project Aqua"? The more you know. There is often a very short step between "prophet" and "maniac."

What about incendiary bombs? Is that evil?
War is evil. War should be avoided as much as possible.
However, as we've seen, fighting war nicely is really not fighting it at all. It just extends the fight, accomplishes nothing, and creates an incentive structure to continue wars forever.
Yes, nuclear weapons should be in the arsenal.

The more I learn about the bomb the more I'm cnvinced they had to use it...the ovt dedicated a whole lot of resources to it. They would look awfully stupid had they done that and not used it.
It was more a necessity from that view, as well as a lesson to the assholes out there, and a big ol' dick swing than needed to stop Japan, which had it's ass totally kicked and was going to get beat up further with conventional weapons. Germany self-destructed on it's own, and had the scientists, but not the apparatus.
So it's not cut and dry. I used to think it was certainly needed, because of whatever history books told me...

War is evil. War should be avoided as much as possible.
However, as we've seen, fighting war nicely is really not fighting it at all. It just extends the fight, accomplishes nothing, and creates an incentive structure to continue wars forever.

For about a year before Hiroshima the US had been mass firebombing every Japanese city of any size with the exceptions of a few reserved for A Bombs. The devastation was far larger than the A-bombs did and was repeated. If you care about civilian deaths, you have to include the fire bombing. A Bombs did little new aside from being all in one package.

Japan's industry was spread throughout the population.
Hiroshima contained significant war industry and military importance.
We didn't "drop a bomb on civilians". We bombed a city that was militarily important.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were legitimate targets. It's insane to claim that this was evil.
I think this argument may be a roundabout way to say that Israel is evil because "civilians" get hit by attacks.
It also encourages the war crimes that Hamas continues to commit by hiding among said "civilians."

You can make a case that most American CinCs since FDR should have been arrested for and charged for dereliction of duty in getting American soldiers intentionally killed to minimize the loss of enemy civilians.
Could you imagine in WWII a fortified German city where the bombers and artillery was NOT called out to soften them up/force them to surrender before sending the grunts in because there were also German civilians in the city? And yet this has been the norm since WWII.

The resources for the bomb were trivial, all things considered.
The real problem was that we were at an impasse. Japan's economy was in ruins, and the population was going to start starving since the Navy was cutting off nearly all shipping. The Japanese Army leadership was willing to die virtually to a man anyway, and the population would too if they acted anything like Japanese civilians on other islands we had taken. Hirohito was constrained by tradition to let the government work without his direct involvement.
The A-Bombs broke the stalemate, convincing Hirohito to give orders and the Military to accept them rather than ignore them. There have been claims that something else might have done the same thing but the actual history says different. They could have opened channels up while Iwo and Okinawa were being fought over, the situation in the war was just as hopeless.

It appears when our Government or the CIA tries to manipulate other countries' politics it backfires or ends up costing us trillions or an obligation to take in a bunch of third-world animals.

Mao had a fairly powerful faction and a decent base after the Long March in the hills inland in north China. But the real advantage came after the war when Russia took Manchuria and the Communists moved there. This made it impossible for Chiang to move against their army while they built up.

this is no longer a Far Left position, the Far Left is fine with it since it gives them the basis for their power and something to beat the conservatives with. It is, however, an exhausted position since it seems to have justified so much since them. There was a school of thought, up until WWI when it was suddenly the most treasonous point of view ever (like a lot of other ones) that "In winning the war against Spain and taking her colonies, we have become Spain" and in the logic of controlling overseas colonies, we had in many ways become Spain.
it may be we had no choice, and all of my uncles survived WWII in the Navy because of the bombings, but it also created a situation where the US became very similar to an imperial power, much in the way that the Romans winning the Third Punic war may have made the creation of the Imperial Roman state inevitable.

Japanese plans were to have the kamikaze planes and Tokko suicide craft ignore warships and go for the landing ships exclusively.
And even if all the troops were bulletproof the things they would have to do to give the Japanese to give up would form wounds in the psyche that would never heal. We saw that already on pretty much every island fight we had.

When McCartgy was Speaker, he gave Tucker the video from the security cameras at the Capitol on January 6. Tucker showed the first of what was supposed to be multiple nights of coverage. And then he lost his job.
And afaik, he never again showed any footage from January 6.
What happened? If the video was left behind at Fox - who then buried it - is there a reason why new copies weren't made available to him? Why did Tucker seemingly never bring it up again?

While I absolute appreciate us being much more judicious about the use of a military option in various places all over the world, there are too many people here who want to go in the complete opposite direction and want America to be whiny and toothless. And if that means the PRC taking over the world, so be it.
Too many people here just look at this country and cringe with embarrassment and overwhelming shame. I don’t. We need to use DIME when it comes to foreign policy again and use the M - military - as a last resort. But we also need to maintain the threat of power projection.

War is Hell. But Tucker wouldn't know that because he never fought in one and gets his information from nutcases like COL. MacGregor. But this is simple math. Do you want to see more Americans and allies die, or more Japanese who told us outright they would not only never surrender, but take as many of us with them as they could. In war, that's an easy choice. There are largely few moral arguments to be made about more and even less for aggressors who not only started it, but are true believers in insidious, complete and unrelenting murder to win. Tucker can kiss my ass and of my relative who fought in the South Pacific were alive, they would throat punch him.

Remember where this was. It was a 3 hour conversation with Joe Rogan. Tucker says silly things, and in that setting, the stream of consciousness aspect of sitting there with Rogan gets to damn near everybody.
Like I said up further, I think if you could get Tucker to admit it, he's acknowledge he was wrong to impugn the character of everyone who favored the Japan nooks.
He probably won't say it, but I think he knows he was wrong.

I think we shared information with them and to a lesser extent the Russians but given that it took until 1952 to get a bomb of their own I don't think they were closely involved. Also reduces the chance of the Germans learning about it.

Mao had a fairly powerful faction and a decent base after the Long March in the hills inland in north China. But the real advantage came after the war when Russia took Manchuria and the Communists moved there. This made it impossible for Chiang to move against their army while they built up.
The Nationalists might have been able to defeat them, or might have lost regardless.
Posted by: Oldcat at April 25, 2024 04:33 PM (eoQWY)
I think it was simply that Mao decided to largely sit out the war in the north and let the Japs slaughter the KMT troops while the ChiComs built up for the inevitable civil war against Chiang, doing most of the work for him. If memory serves, the US had to basically threaten to cut off the ChiComs from US supplies in order to get them off their asses to attack the Japs.

We would have faced another two years of war, and well over a million American casualties as we killed women and children armed with spears, because the emperor told his people to die rather than surrender.
The nukes saved both American lives and Japanese lives, and to an American, an American life is worth far more than a Japanese one.

WaPo: George Will wakes up to see his monster. Stoking the passion that is their excuse for pandering - the nihilism of a febrile minority in their party - a majority of House Republicans - voted last Saturday to endanger civilization. Hoping to enhance their political security in their mostly safe seats, and for the infantile satisfaction of populist naughtiness (insulting a mostly fictitious “establishment”
, they voted to assure Vladimir Putin’s attempt to erase a European nation...Tuesday’s Senate ratification of Ukrainian aid proves that Dwight Eisenhower’s baton of Republican internationalism was passed, via Ronald Reagan, to Mitch McConnell."
I've always held George Will in low esteem, but he's a talented wordsmith nevertheless. "J.D. Vance, an itinerant Neville Chamberlain visiting green rooms". I am so stealing that.
Right when our last living WW2 vets go to their reward, the GOPigs spit in these heroes' freedom-fighting faces.
Will, like Buckley before him, fancies himself a conservative intellectual, though he was always careful to maintain a sanitary distance from the culture warriors.

Millions of them. Hundreds of thousands of us. Not even a consideration. We had the edge. We used it. Everyone in the event benefitted from the decision.
The only argument to be made against it was that we let the genie out of the bottle, that edge didn't last, the technology threatens the whole globe now, and the people in charge on our side are out of their fucking heads.

That isn't quite the real equation. If the allies invade, not only do more of them die, but also far, far more Japanese fighters and civilians die. From war and starvation.
You can make the same decision leaving out all consideration of Allied deaths. An invasion would likely have virtually exterminated the Japanese nation. They expected it to themselves.

Firebombs and starvation. The Navy argued for their total blockade of Japan. Truman and/or his observers (and certainly MacArthur) saw the danger of that plan. It would certainly give the USSR plenty of time to consolidate its hold on northern China, possibly the entire Korean peninsula, and take China by means of Mao's army.

Why? What's the difference?
One worked. The other didn't. End of story.
It's simple. In a war, winning is the goal. You're going to do bad things. When the bad things end the war in your own favor, they become good things on balance.
It's a life and death scenario. In those, the ends justify the means.

Because the military guys that wanted to kill Hirohito so he couldn't surrender were stopped. Otherwise it would've taken a few more.

It's not like Dresden had a "smart fire bomb" that would just take out the soldiers. And no, you can't celebrate Dresden, but you can understand it as a casualty of war.
The Germans and the Japanese put us in a "State of War", and they suffered reprisals for their overreach.
We would have lost soooo many men going down the shooting gallery of Tokyo Bay. I had a college instructor who was on one of the those ships scheduled to go through the killzone the Japanese had made Tokyo Bay
He was socially, and mostly politically liberal, but he *loved* the bomb.

Mao spent most of the war attacking Nationalist troops, and largely ignoring the IJA. IIRC, eventually Chiang got sick of Mao's double-dealing, and revoked the cease-fire with the Communists. But the war meant he couldn't take any serious action.
The Soviets occupied Manchuria right before the end of the war, handed it over to Mao, and used the fact that it was neighboring the USSR to feed him supplies.
There's more to it, and it's a complicated subject. But that's the major stuff.

I think he does. After he caught flack for questioning Israel's right to defend itself on October 8th or 9th, he then claimed all he meant to do was be one guy standing up for America's self-interest.
Then over the proceeding months he interviewed one guy after another calling Israel evil. He just had on a Palestinian Christian to complain that Christians are badly treated in Israel. Tucker Carlson "forgot" to mention the areas he was talking about where governed by the Palestinians.
So he attempted to tell Christians that evil Jews were tricking him.
But sure, he's very "upfront" about what he believes.

No, I wouldn't. I'd recommend mass death until the enemy decides to stop fighting a war it started because it's imperialistic ambitions were far greater than its capabilities which led it to attack a non-combatant nation that vastly overpowered it in industrial might in the hopes that it would be able to get more oil afterwards.
Seriously. In a world where weapons manufacture is done in civilian populations, once the war reaches those limits, civilians are going to die. A lot of them. Since the governments are supposedly instituted for the people's protection, it's up to the governments to decide when they can't go any further and try to end things. Since the Japanese government wasn't trying to end things, well, civilians around military targets are fair game.
War sucks. They shouldn't be fought. But when they are fought, they should be fought to win.

I support Israel's right to self-defense purely on the Fuck Around and Find Out principle, and on the grounds that Hamas is a collection of prehistoric savages that the world wouldn't miss if they were all vaporized.
However, it's hard to miss the knee-jerk reaction of nearly everyone on the right to accuse anyone who raises even a slight criticism of Israel of antisemitism, which is bug-fuck stupid, lazy, and annoying. It's also hard not to notice that for being a nation with the population of Georgia (the state), that they have a very outsized influence on our foreign policy and even our internal politics. I think that's something worth exploring.

The dirty little secret of Carlson and all those who decry the atomic bombings as immoral irrespective of any other consideration, is that they would have given the Japanese militarists what they wanted - to remain in power at any cost. With that, the US would have faced the horror of fighting another even worse war with an even more twisted and insane Japanese leadership 20 years later, against a by-then nuclear armed Japan.

He goes into the SCIF one way, comes out 180 degrees the other.
What's being shown to them is one of two things:
1) We are a LOT closer to global war than anyone is letting on
or
2) Everyone is being blackmailed to hell and back.

I support Israel's right to self-defense purely on the Fuck Around and Find Out principle, and on the grounds that Hamas is a collection of prehistoric savages that the world wouldn't miss if they were all vaporized.
However, it's hard to miss the knee-jerk reaction of nearly everyone on the right to accuse anyone who raises even a slight criticism of Israel of antisemitism, which is bug-fuck stupid, lazy, and annoying. It's also hard not to notice that for being a nation with the population of Georgia (the state), that they have a very outsized influence on our foreign policy and even our internal politics. I think that's something worth exploring.

Think of a reverse situation where Japan can hit the US at will with bombs. All those cute Rosie the Riveter gals in the pictures helping build military aircraft are valid military targets in a total war scenario.
That's why even in Ukraine for a while there were understood rules in place. Ever wonder why there was no fighting in Russia, in the north border and the area north of Kharkov? Because there was an understood agreement that neither side would do serious operations there. And for 2 years outside of some shelling and some terrorist actions by Ukraine, there still hasn't been. For quite a while Russia avoided hitting areas where NATO was doing intelligence and planning inside Ukraine. In the last few months that agreement has been dropped, and the French took some licks that explain why they are yapping about Troops.

And when you live under this veil it becomes perfunctory to find explanations that "fit". And unfortunately many things fit because that's what happens when you are engulfed in lies. You don't know what the lies are obscuring.
So even these two numbskulls get a small pass from me, as do retroactively those who "questioned" 9/11 because they had a weird feeling that Bush and our government couldn't be trusted. They were right to ask questions and I was wrong to want to shut them up with Facts.
That's doesn't mean we should accept their theories and explanations no matter how shitty. In fact it pretty much means the opposite.

There was a large percentage of Americans at the time, who supported outright genocide of the Japanese, and only for what they did at Pearl Harbor. And even the Doolittle raid of Tokyo, very early in the war, had broad support. They were both war crimes, and it has nothing to do with weariness of war. It doesn't require one to be far left to believe this stuff was immoral.

I've been listening to a lot of stories from Japanese survivors of the war, both military and civilian. Many didn't want to fight to the end, but were forced out of fear or obligation. When you're in a unit and told to "volunteer" for kamikaze duty, or else you and your family back home will suffer...well, look at that, people "volunteer". Civilians get told Americans will shoot them on site, so they need to help the Japanese troops and resist...they don't want to, and are terrified, but when threatened at gunpoint by their own troops...they comply.
Sure, though...many officers and senior leaders WERE gung-ho Bushido die hards, but the vast majority were not. It only takes a few leaders, and societal pressure, to make the society as a whole comply, though.

Saipan was the first time there were significant civilians. Near the end the GI's were shocked at the women and children and civilians killing themselves and each other.
Okinawa had some civilians surrender and survive. Others did the same as Saipan.
For Japan the military was planning for civilians to become suicide bombers. They might have stopped doing it sometime if we had invaded, but evidence to the contrary was all the other places.

Pretty sure you're thinking Saipan. The one with "Banzai Cliff".
Okinawa is actually the first Japanese island which had a decent-sized survival rate for the civilians. But it's because most of the population weren't ethnically Japanese (Ainu?), and didn't have the suicidal motivations the Japs had. The Japs treated them like shit for decades.
But there were still enough Japs on Okinawa to scare the shit out of the US when we considered the upcoming casualties for invading the home islands.

Because the Japanese high command refused to surrender after the first one. They firmly believed that Americans were weak and would not have the guts to invade the home islands which would have generated over a million American casualties. They doubled down after the invasion of Okinawa and really thought they could fight us to a draw and have a peace they could live with.
A big part of the issue was the unconditional surrender thing. We told them that their entire government was going to be replaced and the emperor along with that.

This is like how I realized that I *was* in some sense more authoritarian than a lefty.
They believe the final state is for everybody to be autonomous, thus there is no need for authority. They may believe that the Leaders have to run me through a ringer to get me fit to enter this world (in Marx's head), but ultimately it's for NO AUTHORITY.
Well, the end sounds great, but you're kind of making a point that authority is pragmatically necessary in purging mankind of dependence on authority.
My acceptance that 1) authorities may always exist, 2) they should observe your civil rights--but you still have to defer to them, in some form, is what lefties consider "authoritarianism".
That the world is not perfect and authority plays a role in that imperfect world...IS "authoritarianism" to the people that have convinced themselves that they need to seize control to save us from the pragmatic view that we may always need authority for law and order.

Your argument is Hume, but IIRC Hume is a touch more complex than what you lay out. Hume also calls for social contract and not merely submission. Spooner is far more granular about formalizing social contracts for the community, though I would say he has not been shown to be able to scale to society level in general and relies on individual interraction.

In part, "Since the 2000 election cycle, Weinstein has donated nearly $1 million in his own name in addition to collecting and providing roughly $1.5 million as a part of "bundled" donations, which the Center for Responsive Politics defines as contributions provided by "people with friends in high places who, after bumping against personal contribution limits, turn to those friends, associates, and, well, anyone who's willing to give, and deliver the checks to the candidate."
Tucker, who worked for Weinstein decades ago, goes on Rogan's show & talks about him. Newsweek, 'Tucker Carlson Recalls Working for Harvey Weinstein—'He Was a Pig' published Apr 22, 2024. Now today we have: NBC News, 'Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction overturned by New York appeals court'

First we weren’t targeting civilians. We were targeting military targets that unfortunately civilians are present. Second your moral equivalence of our enemies actions compared to ours is so ridiculously off base I shouldn’t even be addressing you.

no, one man made it decades - only one man.
The others went home when they got the word. Onoda got in his head that defeat was impossible and all the reports were disinformation.
He had been an intelligence agent who had been chosen for "behind the line" sabotage tasks, and he decided to carry them out faithfully.

We'll never know that, of course.
But that's IDENTICAL to the "If we don't save Ukraine, Putin will march on (pick your city) Paris, London, Utrecht, New York, Pittsburgh......"
See how those arguments work?
The Powers-That-Be have always, always, always, used BoogeyMan. Scare you sh*tless tactics. Why? Because it works, as it did in WWII, so in Iraq, then Covid 19, now Ukraine.

Dropping a nuke onto the center of a city is by definition targeting civilians.
I don't see myself moral-equivalencing here. If one is going to say "x is wrong" I think that statement should be equally applicable to anyone engaging in "x." I haven't excused anything the Japanese did. But all of you people are doing the exact same thing you sneer at liberals for doing, when they say, "it's not wrong when WE do it." But you're too blind to see it.
So if bombing entire cities is OK, is there a line in war we should not cross? Should we have rules? I'm not talking about what the enemy does. Should we, who consider ourselves the "good guys," have some kind of boundary? Or, since they threw the first punch, is it anything goes?

Of Course: One of LA Soros DA George Gascon's Top Employees -- the Attorney "For Ethics and Integrity Operations" -- Illegally Accessed Police Files on Political Opponents
How much degradation and brutalization by evil communists can this country withstand?
Note she illegally read the records of opponents of his former boss, who was the LA Sheriff, not the opponents of George Gascon. (Although, of course, they share the same list of enemies.) Jen VanLaar from Red State:One of LA County District Attorney George Gascon's top employees, Assistant District Attorney of Ethics and Integrity Operations Diana Teran, has been arrested on 11 felony charges related to the "unauthorized use of data from confidential, statutorily-protected peace officer files."It's so Soviet that the employee in charge of criminal spying on political opponents has the title "Attorney of Ethics and Integrity Operations." Perfect.
According to a press release from California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Teran "accessed computer data including numerous confidential peace officer files in 2018, while working as a Constitutional Policing Advisor at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and, after joining the LADA in January 2021, impermissibly used that data at the LADA." ... Starting in June 2018, when Alex Villanueva made a good showing in the primary election for LA County Sheriff against his former boss, then-incumbent Sheriff Jim McDonnell, Teran improperly accessed and downloaded the personnel files of Villanueva and other LASD employees who supported his campaign. Sources say this was done at the direction of county Inspector General Max Huntsman, who is also currently under investigation by AG Bonta. Teran's actions ramped up in November 2018 when underdog Villanueva unseated McDonnell, marking the first time an incumbent Sheriff lost re-election in 104 years. The weekend before Villanueva was sworn in, according to sources, Huntsman sent Teran into the Sheriff's office with an external hard drive and instructions to gather additional personnel files. About a month after Villanueva took office he got wind of what had happened and alerted the California AG's office and the FBI. The FBI told Villanueva's office they'd provide technical assistance but there was nothing they could really do, and the AG's office gave Villanueva's office the go-ahead to investigate themselves.Teran has been accused of political misconduct against Villaneuva before. See the article for details. But basically, Teran held off on announcing the office was not prosecuting alleged charges against Villaneuva's cops until after the election, so that the public wrongly believed he was running a dirty shop.

You notice how their language for slave is 'worker'? Not secondary or support. Or even power. Also 'primary' for master. Primary, first among equals.
They look at circuits or mechanical designs like politics. In their minds they are the bosses and the slaves are their workers. They just want the names changed.

I don't think they're thinking that much about it. They were ordered to wokify the language, so they did it. I see lots of options.
"Primary" and "Secondary"
"Coordinator" and "Worker"
My favorite I have ever seen is "Primary" and "Minion." Never mind that the two don't even go together.

CA Atty General Rob Bonta is a full-blown leftist partisan hack who's trying to impress Newsom so he can be his "wingman" when Newsom inherits the Oval Office.
As CA AG, Bonta is also the successor to Kamala, so he has very big shoes to fill, though he will never match her in either eloquence or dick-handling skill.

I suppose he is referencing the phone call he received when the truck driver "who drank his lunch killed his hot Republican wife who looked great in a bikini"*, which he is equating to the daily fear of the phone call when the spouse's LEO is on duty.

His older brother came from a birthing person's front hole, God rest him.
But not him. This happened during the Stonewall Riots, when I was protesting for love the American Way, alongside a biker, an Indian, a cowboy, a sailor, and a construction worker. That kind of diverse coalition is our strength.
Now, in those days, I was a real lady-killer. I didn't just beat Wilt Chamberlain at basketball, ya know. But in that moment, I was so overcome by a passion for justice, that I let all those freedom fighters take me. And I can tell ya that one of those brave, costumed queens is the father of the smartest butt-baby you ever saw, jack. It was the fabulous policeman.
Anyway, he and Beau were killed raiding a warehouse full of Putin's phony ballots. Saddest phone call of my life. That's why we fight for Ukraine - because Democrats take action when the people have called them.

No, that's not really what he said.
He was using the present tense when referring to people who "want to drop nukular weapons on people" when calling them evil.
The problem is, everyone is looking for reasons to say he's bad. Now, he most certainly did say it was wrong to drop the nooks on Japan, but the "evil" comment was about our modern day war goons who are hellbent on it now.

All in all, it was an interesting conversation, but yeah, he went "out there" a bit with some of that stuff.
I think the UFO biz is mostly an op, and the notion that Alex Jones is channeling God's word seems a bit extreme to me, but even that, it's hardly a foreign concept for Christians to believe in prophets.
I think a better explanation is Alex is on the spectrum, but if Tucker wants to believe it's spiritual, I don't really have a problem with that.

There's an aspect of it too, Tucker knows he's pissing people off, and doesn't seem to mind doing so. It wouldn't be hard for anyone to make the connection that he was condemning everyone who was/is in favor of the Japan nooks, and it's his fault for not being more careful. If it was not his intention to give them that impression, I mean.

NY Court of Appeals Tosses Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction
There's a rule that you can't put on evidence of prior "bad acts" to prove that a defendant committed the specific bad acts he's being tried for in the present case.
It's not that such evidence is completely irrelevant; it's that it's unduly prejudicial to the defendant. Such evidence tends to poison the jury against the defendant well out of proportion to the actual light it sheds on the current crime being judged at trial. But that's what the state of New York did to get their conviction. They had some weak evidence of rape in cases where the statute of limitations hadn't run out yet, so they put on evidence from other women claiming they'd been raped (in cases where the statute of limitations had run out). I'm not even sure how this was allowed in the first place. I assume (I haven't read much about the case) that they used the special and often-abused exemption to the "no prior bad acts" rule, the "signature" exception. Prosecutors will sometimes claim that a method of committing a crime is so specific to one individual that it constitutes a "signature" in the modus operandi, and can then put on witnesses who testify about the same M.O. being used in crimes against them. It's often a weak and bullshitty exception: "The bank robbers wore ski masks and gloves, that's a signature." Okay it doesn't usually get that transparent, but you can see the way this rule can abused, and where a judge will allow "signature" evidence in a case The Regime is desperate to win. Another exception, which seems to be the one used in this case, is to claim you're not putting on these witnesses to prove his prior bad acts, but to shed light on his state-of-mind he had when committing the acts he's on trial for. The prosecution put on three witnesses to accuse Weinstein of prior rape, and claimed they weren't presenting this evidence just to show he's generally a rapist, but to prove that his state in mind in the current case was one of intent to commit a sexual assault. That is, it wasn't just a mistake where he misread the woman's level of interest in him. But I mean, come on: You can't tell the jury "don't consider this testimony as evidence that he committed the current crime, just consider it as far as his state-of-mind." That's telling people to put the information in a special vault in their brain that they cannot access except to answer one particular question. No one's brain works like that, not even the brain of Noted "Compartmentalizer" Bill Clinton. The toxic Regime will let every criminal out of jail to pacify one constituency. Then, when another constituency must be appeased, they'll change the rules and start presenting/allowing evidence that is plainly out-of-bounds just to convict one guy. The Regime is controlled by people who are all suffering from untreated moral breakdowns, permanently on tilt, and eager to suspend the law or change the law to to satisfy whatever moral panic they're currently in. (Trump can tell you all about that.) Any trial that makes the news is now a political trial. Weinstein is still in jail over a 2023 conviction for a rape in California. But this one is overturned, and he'll be retried, this time without the supplementation of "prior bad acts" witnesses.This is always the pitch: We have to break the rules to convict this defendant for political reasons.
Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by the New York Court of Appeals. On Thursday, the court found in a 4-3 ruling that the judge in Weinstein's trial -- a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement that the 2017 allegations against him started -- had shown prejudice by allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. The court has now ordered a new trial. Weinstein, the Oscar-winning producer of "Shakespeare in Love" and "Good Will Hunting," is serving a 23-year sentence at the Mohawk Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison in Rome, N.Y. He will remain imprisoned as he was also convicted of rape in Los Angeles in 2022 and sentenced to an additional 16 years in prison. However, Weinstein was acquitted in the Los Angeles trial on charges involving a woman who testified in his New York case.
...
"We reaffirm that no person accused of illegality may be judged on proof of uncharged crimes that serve only to establish the accused's propensity for criminal behavior," wrote Judge Jenny Rivera in the court's majority opinion. "It is an abuse of judicial discretion to permit untested allegations of nothing more than bad behavior that destroys a defendant's character but sheds no light on their credibility as related to the criminal charges lodged against them."
... Judge Madeline Singas wrote in the court's dissenting opinion, "With today's decision, this Court continues to thwart the steady gains survivors of sexual violence have fought for in our criminal justice system. Forgotten are the women who bear the psychological trauma of sexual violence and the scars of testifying again, and again. This erosion of precedent, born from a refusal to accept that crimes of sexual violence are far more nuanced and complex than other crimes, comes at the expense and safety of women."
... At oral argument in February, Aidala maintained that Justice James Burke had stacked the deck against Weinstein by allowing three women -- Dawn Dunning, Tarale Wulff and Lauren Young -- to testify against him. Each of the women told the jury that Weinstein had sexually assaulted them after they showed up for what they thought would be a business meeting. The so-called "Molineux" witnesses were called to show that Weinstein's assaults had a common pattern, and that he was not confused about whether or not the victims consented. Weinstein's defense argued that the effect of the testimony, however, was to attack his character without shedding any light on the allegations for which he was actually charged. "This is major prejudice," Aidala argued in February. "It's saying, 'He's a bad guy. He's a bad guy. He's a bad guy.'" ... The issue of "prior bad acts" testimony was also raised in Bill Cosby's successful appeal of his sexual assault conviction in Pennsylvania. In that case, five women were allowed to testify to buttress the one allegation that was charged. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned that conviction on different grounds, finding that prosecutors had reneged on a promise not to prosecute Cosby.

Character evidence alleging past bad acts gets problematic when it involves uncharged crimes. Had Weinstein been tried and convicted of those past crimes, it would have been allowable because it would demonstrate a pattern of ability to commit those crimes in the past. Essentially what NY prosecutors did was use uncharged past bad acts to argue that that this evidence applied to the particular case at hand.
Goes back for a retrial is what will happen.

Ah, I see the press is dutifully hiding information.
The prosecutors SPECIFICALLY promised not to prosecute Cosby so that he could not invoke the 5th amendment in a civil trial.
Then, USING THE EVIDENCE FROM THE CIVIL TRIAL, the prosecutors charged him with crimes.
They should be in jail for deprivation of rights under the color of law.
But there are no consequences for the ruling class. They get a "scolding" and then go on to do the same thing again.

Fast forward to now. The New York judiciary is allowing Trump to be prosecuted based on an act for which the statute of limitations has expired. They've further allowed other charges to be falsely compounded and brought based on that unlawful charge.
New York courts routinely do things like this on a regular basis. To the point they've even ignored SCOTUS in cases like Bruen.
Meanwhile criminals and illegal immigrants roam free.
People are leaving New York for many reasons. But one of those is increasingly a justice system that has been weaponized against the average person or business who doesn't agree with them.

It is more to the point that the appellate court has handed the Trump team a cudgel to apply to the judge in the case. Bragg just introduced the Natl Inquirer editor to testify about how stories are squelched and this is the key to the argument that the payments to Stormy and McDougal as well as to the doorman to squash a stupid story about Trump impregnating a maid at the Trump hotel constitute a pattern of misbehavior.
Since all of that, like whether Weinstein actually had relationships with the accuser, were uncharged activity (in Trump's case because there is literally no law that prohibit disclosure agreements and payment to prevent disclosure), the past bad acts to show they are a bad person is not allowed due to the Weinstein appellate ruling.
Make the leap even larger that appellate courts can uphold any guilty verdict based on Orangeman Bad tactics.

I only ever heard one juror talk about the case, at length, and the impression I had was she would have voted guilty if it wasn't for all the obvious holes they were able to poke at the work of the cops and the techs.
So in a sense, "sticking it to the white man" could be construed as saying "no" when the system tries to railroad defendants. Which it does. A lot. And not just to ex-NFL running backs.

Vice versa, Trump's prosecutors are the hardest hit. It undermines their pattern of behavior and character assassination disguised as evidence.
They are relying on 2015-2016 testimony which is past the statute of limitations for the misdemeanors of false business reporting based on payments to Stormy, McDougal, etc. This is being used to argue a pattern of Trump misbehavior led to the conduct of Trump misleading the population so that they would have voted for Killary in 2016. To that level, they are trying to apply a NYS statute that deals with state elections to make the misreporting of financials from Trump Inc (categorizing campaign expenditures as legal ones) which is the whole 34 count bullshit where each check payment to Cohen is alleged to have benefited Trump illegally in the 2016 election.
FEC and the Feds already investigated and declined to charge--even the tainted SDNY Trump haters did so. So can Bragg change a state statute to apply to federal elections (which actually creates a federal appellate question to the whole deal) and now has this appellate court ruling undermining his case.

Harv is a fucking pig, but that's not illegal. And there was no shortage of THOTs eager to fuck him for career advancement.
The California case wasn't much better. His THOT accuser accused him of raping her when she inexplicably went to his hotel room for an "interview" (or some similar obviously red-flag situation). Then -- as she admitted -- she began a consensual relationship with him. Yes, that was her testimony: she started dating her rapist. Then, she claims, he raped her again!

Criminal has a higher standard on character evidence that does civil.
Actually has a logical basis to it if you view each trial as only pertaining to the facts of the case at hand rather than whether the person is a 'bad' un that needs to be locked up whether or not they did the crime at hand.
Nothing pisses an old lag off more than being accused and convicted of a crime they did not commit. Many of them will more or less admit sotte voce that they got what was coming in just convictions but they cannot stand being convicted for things they did not do.
For a long time, that is how sloppy cops solved crimes--they go to the persons likely to have committed the crimes on past behavior and if necessary build a case to frame them because the cops reason even if they did not do it, they should be locked up to prevent the inevitable future crimes from the perp

In essence, his lawyer recorded the payment in a ledger 'incorrectly' (this is debatable), all the counts stem from everytime this ledger was altered or amended or emailed etc. this happened in 2017 the statute of limitations ran out in 2019. so they strapped it to another crime to claim it was in furtherance to up it to a felony. that crime was FINALLY outed this week. a state law about running for state office (bragg was trying to claim it is a campaign finance violation)
he duped the voters cause they should have know, it was fraud (is braggs underlying claim) BUT the election was in 2016 this happened in 2017, the bootstrapped crime is a state election thing he was running for federal office. The FEC looked at it and said nope nothing illegal here. IF he had used campaign funds that would have been illegal.
That's the best I can sum it up. It's all beyond bullshit.

That is why he said she said still go to trial. Rape of spouse used to be absolutely barred from criminal action by states. The idea at the time was that consent was rendered when the marriage occurred and the the court should not be involved in domestic spats.
Even until recently legally speaking, spouses had an absolute bar on being able to testify against their spouse. This made criminal charges of domestic abuse particularly difficult as you had to have third party witnesses willing to testify instead of teh direct victim.

Sure.
In 2016, Stormy Daniels let it be known that she was going to allege her and Trump had an affair.
Micheal Cohen, Trump's lawyer at the time, got wind of it and made her a deal: Cash to keep quite.
National Enquirer got wind of that deal with Stormy.
Cohen then paid them to spike it.
Cohen billed Trump for "legal services."
Trump, Inc entered the payment in the business ledger as same, "legal services."
At some point, certainly after Trump, Inc paid, but definitely not before, Trump may have been told, "those payments were to Stormy and the Enquirer."
This was felony fraud on the poor people of New York state _who _voted_FOR_Trump_ as those ledger entries were 1) indirect campaign expenditures that 2) should have been reported on FEC reports (an illegal campaign expenditure) that 3) deceived those Trump voters into voting for him had they but known he paid Stormy and the Enquirer.
These alleged false entries are a misdemeanor punishable only by a fine. And the statute of limitations has passed.
Unless they are done to further a second crime. Which has a longer limitations.

Yeah, my only position is that his trial was not impartial by the rules that our ruling class have set.
He might very well be guilty of everything he's accused of- he is a pretty awful person and I'm pretty sure he's guilty of a lot.
However, in a just country, you still have to prove it under the rule of law and the prosecutors/judges bent the law because getting him was more important.

“What do you think the Chinese are trying to get at, at the back side of the moon?” Rep.

Uh, we’re not planning to go there,” he said.

Bragg has nowhere alleged or stated what the second crime is.
And NY law specifically excludes federal campaigns and federal campaign law violations as the "second crime."
But the judge is going to allow the jury to infer the commission of a second crime ... because the first crime-- the ledger entry-- was a crime and the only reason Trump committed that crime was to obviously commit a second crime.
It's absolutely insane that anyone thinks this has any legal merit.
It's 100% a political prosecution that proudly, defiantly stomps on all law, rules, regulations and norms.

Nobody likes to talk about how Hollywood works. Every person you see on screen - there are probably exceptions, but damn few of them - is a whore. Now did they go into the effort with their eyes open and the full knowledge that success would depend on being a whore? I don't know. Probably not all of them, surely some of them.
When push came to shove and it was time to get bedded by Weinstein or one of his countless analogues, they decided to lay back and think of England.
This is extremely sleazy. It might even be criminal - it is coercion at worst and quid pro quo at best. But it probably isn't assault or forcible rape.

Female versus male strength, even of an old out of shape pervert like Weinstein is an issue. Plus there is the whole power thing that often happens.
You see similar issues with other powerful men and their sexual activities like Matt Lauer and his notorious button locking the office. Going down depravity road does not sate the hunger but increases it to reach the next level.
For a lot of people, power over others is their aphrodisiac. Read an interview once where a senator was asked why he continued as a senator when he could make millions outside of Congress--the senator gave a demonstration of how he got to make his staff hop on his orders and then leaned back and told the reporter that is why he continued in office.

That is how many industries work. Not just Hollywood. Wherever there is money and power and men in positions to wield it, you will find women willing -- eager, even -- to assume their own position for it. Finance, management, education, marketing, etc -- and above all, politics. From yacht girls to starlets to ambitious secretaries to college professor "assistants," sex is still a very big medium of exchange.

The ironic thing is that Hollywood has been making pictures about this very subject since they began. Many movies of the 30's depict a young good-looking starlet being propositioned by a wealthy old geezer and what actions were taken, either to succumb to the good life at a high price, or go with her morals and upbringing. A lot of them with this theme.

A Secret Service Agent Assigned To Kumala Harris Physically Attacks the Special Agent In Charge of the Detail, While Armed;
There Were Reportedly "DEI Concerns" About How This Agent Was Hired
Tom Rogan
@TomRtweets Scooplet- An armed U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris's protective detail fought unarmed with other detail agents on Monday morning. The incident occurred at Andrews AFB, shortly before Harris arrived.
Susan Crabtree
@susancrabtree BREAKING: Sources within the Secret Service community tell me the agent assigned to VP Kamala Harris was armed during the fight - that the gun was secured in the agent's holster until other agents physically restrained the agent and took the gun from the agent's possession. I'm also told there are DEI concerns among the USSS community about the hiring of this agent. Other agents and officers within the USSS are asking questions about the agent's hiring process, whether the USSS did enough to look into the agent's background and monitor the agent's mental well-being because there have been widespread concerns about other strange behavior before this incident. For now, I am also withholding the agent's name.
Other details: Sources say the agent in question was acted erratically upon showing up for a traveling shift at Joint Base Andrews. The agent ended up tackling the Senior Agent in Charge of the VP detail, got on top of him and started punching him. At this point, I'm told, the agent who was attacking the SAIC did indeed have a gun, but it was in the holster. Other agents are expressing relief that the agent did not shoot the SAIC.
Can no one position Kamala Harris for success?
An armed U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris's protective detail fought unarmed with other detail agents on Monday morning. The incident occurred at the Washington, D.C.-area Andrews Air Force Base, before Harris arrived, and after the agent suffered what the Secret Service has characterized as a medical incident. The Washington Examiner is aware of the agent's name and specific detail responsibilities but is withholding those details for privacy reasons. The Washington Examiner understands that the agent became aggressive with other agents. When the special agent in charge and a detail shift supervisor attempted to calm the agent, a physical altercation ensued. The agent was handcuffed before being withdrawn from service for medical assessment.Yup. As planned:

I believe a lot of the goals and handouts Biden is announcing almost daily is partly to directly buy votes and partly to set-up the MSM to ask Trump and down-ballot Republicans gotcha questions.
"If you don't support the zero-emissions freight transport goal announced by President Biden, aren't you condemning children living near freight routes to a higher rate of illness?"
"If you are against President Biden's needed college loan forgiveness moves, what is your solution to relieving the painful college loan financial burdens on too many young singles and parents?"

Michelle Herczeg, 36, filed the suit against the city of Dallas on Wednesday, claiming she “was targeted for being a female officer and treated less favorably.”
The suit alleges that Herczeg was retaliated against after she reported sexual harassment and illegal actions of other officers. She also claims she was not allowed to return to a crime reduction team after she alleged a senior officer assaulted her in May 2015.

Odd name. I did find a different article with a cop by that name in Dallas who sued her department:
Michelle Herczeg, 36, filed the suit against the city of Dallas on Wednesday, claiming she "was targeted for being a female officer and treated less favorably."
The suit alleges that Herczeg was retaliated against after she reported sexual harassment and illegal actions of other officers. She also claims she was not allowed to return to a crime reduction team after she alleged a senior officer assaulted her in May 2015.
If this is the same person - *and* assuming that this was bullshit - then yeah, I'd say the Secret Service probably didn't engage in much "vetting."

"The suit alleged that Herczeg was “targeted for being a female officer and treated less favorably” and was retaliated against after she reported sexual harassment and illegal actions of other officers. She also claimed she was not allowed to return to a crime-reduction team after she alleged a senior officer assaulted her. A Texas trial court dismissed the suit, Herczeg appealed, and a Texas court of appeals affirmed the lower court’s decision in 2021 and denied a rehearing in 2022.
While serving on the Dallas police force, Herczeg and another officer shot an armed man while he sat in a parked car. According to a department spokesman, the officers were firing in self defense because the man, who had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting a child, was brandishing a weapon and eventually shot himself in the head. A headline in the Dallas Observer raised some doubt about the official police account: “Two Dallas Cops Shot a Man Last Night, but They Say He Killed Himself""

Herczeg looks like just another crazy white Karen who became a cop because she liked strutting around Da Streetz with a gun and badge. And when other officers told her off, probably because she came close to shooting a suspect or two, she sued.

what do we think is going to happen when giving birth gets you a 50k hospital bill?
After the Dobbs decision, many young women do not want to risk pregnancy. Especially if they live in red states where getting pregnant carries high risks of non-treatment for complications. This s another argument for why we need immigrants.
Probably a good thing. Our species has exceeded the carrying capacity for the biosphere, lowering birth rates is a good thing. Not so much for capitalism but fuck capitalism, it does nothing but accelerate our demise. I only wish Native Americans were increasing in numbers.
My daughter is leaning towards not having kids. What if my kid is queer? LGBTQ+ plus are being attacked.
Hispanic birth rates aren't declining. Hence calls for "the wall" and "But muh white babies!!! Lesser races will outbreed us!!!", and the associated elevation of clowns like Justices Handmaid and Kegger to the court.

===================
There are those who truly beleive this can work, smugly, "All you got to do is tell the engineers and scientists to do it."
The problem with so-called "leadership" across the board (not just politicks) is that they are really fvcking stupid. Maybe a bit of evil in there, but the stupid overwhelms all other factors except good old-fashioned cronyism/neptism.

I'm insulted! Chasten and I reviewed a draft plan of zero-emission fright transport and we agreed this is scientifically and engineeringly do-able and will not cost freight haulers an additional dime!

Both of my kids were born during Carters reign. Even with good insurance I had to fork over a lot of money to extract wife and child from hospital. Adjusted for inflation it's the same amount as peeps have to out-of-pocket nowadays with ObamaCare.
I don't know where the $50,000 number came from unless someone wanted private room, special surgery to restore hymen, or some other weirdness.

They need to stop breeding. They need to get their kids to become transgender so they can never breed. They need to get the rest of their generation so fearful of their own breathing because of global warming that even if they someone don't mule themselves through their transgender phase, they don't want to do it anyway.
The next generation has to show up, and the left is actively making that not happen for them. It's weird.

The one thing that has determined child survival rates over time in the last 200 years is hygiene. Most child-bed deaths were due to ignorance, filth, and stupid shit like women pulling on the umblical cord and causing hemorrhages. I talked to my Mexican buddy and he told me his grandmother was tied to a ceiling during birth by women, in a filthy hovel, so her child would 'fall out'.
Percentage-wise, if you keep your house even remotely clean and the woman doesn't fucking panic due to to negative conditioning, anyone can have a no-problem natural birth.

Bills for everything are higher and will continue to get higher. The US medical system increasingly resembles a racket, and so much is tied up in that fixing it - and it can be fixed, and fixed relatively quickly - would likely trigger a wave of bankruptcies and probably a recession and upset a whole lot of very important and powerful apple carts.
So it won't be fixed. Not yet. Not until it consumes the federal budget. Once that happens, they'll "fix" it by nationalizing it. That will work after a fashion, but will work through rationing like any nationalized system.

Sore spot. The 'belly dance' of Eurasia was in fact originally a women-only movement for physical positioning of a child in utero to make sure the head is down and to prevent a potentially deadly breech birth. It became a demonstration of women to show they know how to safely give birth to children.

This is the stupid dumb idiotic fallacy that Native Americans are these peaceful peoples at one with the earth. They watched Pocahontas and believe everyone notices the colors of the wind. They think everyone stayed on their little section of the country making pottery and moccasins. They do not understand tribes warred with each other violently. Stole women, set fire to other tribes villages, stole their land and took it over *gasp* colonized it! The Comanche were hard core. The Sioux would whack you as soon as look at you. The Pawnee would come down hard on inter tribal violence, which is why there are stories about them being more peaceful, but were pretty vicious outside of it. They also had some very weird sexual ideas that I am personally glad didn’t carry through.
In summary, Native Americans were not hanging out in headdresses (war regalia, but details) with a domesticated wolf next to them (domesticated because of the oneness with the earth, no doubt). It was ugly and brutal.

Unexpectedly, Dow Drops Over 600 Unexpected Points After GDP Unexpectedly Flatlines to Unexpectedly Low 1.6%
Stocks tumbled Thursday after the latest U.S. economic data showed a sharp slowdown in growth and pointed to persistent inflation. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 611 points, or 1.6%, weighed down by steep declines in Caterpillar and IBM. The S&P 500 dropped 1.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.7%. U.S. gross domestic product expanded 1.6% in the first quarter, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said. Economists polled by Dow Jones forecast GDP growth would come in at 2.4%.And inflation surged, too:
Along with the downbeat growth rate for the quarter, the report showed consumer prices increased at a 3.4% pace, well above the previous quarter's 1.8% advance. This raised concern over persistent inflation and put into question whether the Federal Reserve will be able to cut rates anytime soon.This may sound bad to you, but don't worry, the Washington Post's "journalist" says this is "very solid" growth we should all be pleased by.

But if this is true, it might explain why it looks like Swift has hit the wall hard in the last few months. Ever since she started dating that football player, her looks, such as she had, have gone downhill in a hurry. She used to be moderately cute, but now her face, ewww.

Ouch. Double ouch when you consider something that economists resolutely - almost religiously - refuse to consider.
From the BEA:
Current-dollar GDP increased 4.8 percent at an annual rate, or $327.5 billion
So, unadjusted for inflation (the raw figure), we added $327.5 billion to GDP.
The US federal deficit spending from January through March was around $550 billion. The deficit *alone* for that period is smaller than the growth in GDP.
Every penny of that growth and then some was borrowed - and borrowed not by the economy at large, but by the feds alone. Absolutely none of this growth is real. If you subtract out the deficit - not all government spending, but just the deficit spending - GDP fell by nearly a quarter trillion dollars.

It's one of those things where everyone has decided to ignore it. We had a pretty clear recession in tech and office space, some of the effects of which are still rolling off, but that's why a lot of 2023 looked more like economic recovery from recession, albeit a weak bounceback.

Interesting. Note that they don't go into reasons.
Services are often inelastic. If you need to go to the doctor or have the furnace fixed or whatever, that *has* to happen. You will cut other things to achieve it. And what will you cut? Goods. You're not being "choosy" so much as you're being forced out.

The only positive is that by ignoring their normal consituencies for the Hamas wing of the party and illegal immigrants, they have alienated the consituency that helped them cheat last time. They did not get their expected reward. Instead of reparations and defund the police, they got inflation and loss of imfluence.

The stock market officially entered correction territory last week (aka losing ten percent off the peak this year) and this is putting a cherry on top of it.
While people have been partying on here--the Dow got pumped up a bit this year by expecting the Fed to start chopping interest rates. Since then, it has been quietly declining since about late February when the fed did not chop interest rates and signal cuts were coming. The Fed is concerned that inflation is persistently higher than target and thus are not likely to help the Biden junta this year unlike what the market expected.

Yup.
I've described it as "loot the bitch empty before it augers in" or the "loot the empire stage" of development. The non-retards in power - and there are many - know that this doesn't end well. But they also know that the power structure utterly depends on theft and corruption, so they have no choice but to continue and accelerate until it's all gone. Those at the tippity-top probably expect to be able to jump clear of the wreckage when that happens.

Those at the tippity top depend more on society and its productive workers because they literally do not know how to produce anything.

New US Home Sales Jump to Highest Level Since September! Sales of new homes in the US bounced back in March in a broad advance as prospective buyers toughed out high mortgage rates. New single-family home sales increased 8.8% to a 693,000 annual pace last month, the fastest since September, government data showed Tuesday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg gave a median estimate of 668,000.
US applications for jobless claims fall to lowest level in 9 weeks. The Labor Department reported Thursday that unemployment claims for the week ending April 20 fell by 5,000 to 207,000 from 212,000 the previous week. That's the fewest since mid-February.
Best President of my lifetime! (Dark Brandon image) And possibly most underappreciated.
And the stock markets immediately tank. Big money players think that too many commoners getting jobs will bite into their share of the pie.
The markets are WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY overdue for a correction. notably a 10% one.

Interesting. Note that they don't go into reasons.
Services are often inelastic. If you need to go to the doctor or have the furnace fixed or whatever, that *has* to happen. You will cut other things to achieve it. And what will you cut? Goods. You're not being "choosy" so much as you're being forced out.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 25, 2024 12:10 PM (HnUIn)
Also does spending big actually mean an increase, or is it just a shift in the proportions--with services spending perhaps being static or even decreasing, but not as fast as goods spending has cratered?

To break even the US economy has to grow more then Bidenflation, immigration, and government debt.
So if the economy grows 1.6% in a quarter, but we've got 2.6% inflation per quarter (a stupidly low ball estimate) we are already at -1% growth, not including population growth and increased debt.

That will help, to be sure. There is a boot on the neck and removing that boot (or even just reducing the pressure) will help. It will not solve the problem unless productivity increases enough to offset the deficit, which has the same final net effect on the budget as cutting: balance.
The deficits *must* be brought under control or the problem cannot be solved. It might - maybe - be able to be delayed a bit. But until deficits hit zero (or, at bare minimum, no longer exceed GDP growth), the continue to corrode the economy. There is no other choice. Things *must* always balance.

Not only do they not county hyperinflation as a negative they implicitly count it as a positive.
Imagine, for example, that the real economic output in 2023 and 2024 are the same, but due purely to say 10% inflation the GDP "grew" from $20T to $22T. They would claim that was 10% growth.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene @RepMTG 4h
If you were wondering why AOC was holding hands with Joe Biden? Why she keeps playing ball with Congressional leadership (including Mike Johnson)?
It’s because she just got the Green New Deal!
Joe Biden just announced the Climate Corps (20,000 new federal agents) to police and terrorize the oil industry, the auto industry, and every small business across America.
These new feds will focus on “conservation, green energy and environmental justice work.” In other words, they’ll be coming after you, your car, and your business.
Speaker Johnson could have stopped this in his two-part omnibus in appropriations, but yet again he gave the Democrats everything they wanted.
It’s absolute insanity!

We sequestered the inflation in foreign trade flows. Foreign trade totals continued to surge during that era, and that required a *lot* of dollars to lubricate. We were able to offshore a lot of our monetary emissions abroad and that helped both hide the problem and delay the reckoning.
But that era is over. Global trade is not growing fast enough to absorb the new emissions, and we've taken various policy steps that encourage non-dollar settlement (our response to the Russia/Ukraine war was very damaging, and radically reduced trust in USD for these purposes. The party ain't over, but it's waning).
There's no place to hide it anymore, and those dollars have to come home while the new emissions have to stay home. This game is over.

Basically they promise to soak Bezos and yet instead they always hit the guy running a small business taking home $250K-$1M. Because higher then that and you can start buying Dem or GOPe politicians...

The latest half brained idea to loot the productive classes is the idea of taxing unrealized capital gains. That is if you received a house from Pop Pop that he spent 50k on in 1970's and that house is now worth 150k due primarily to inflation caused by big gubmint, then you should have to pay taxes on the 100k gain when you received the asset via estate as income.
This greases the upper class in stealing wealth because they will hide theirs in trusts etc. while the poors will have to sell their assets to pay the tax bills.

It's already happened. The "Polestar" brand - which is part of Volvo - is already in the US, and has been for years. It is a "premium" car that competes directly against Tesla. It isn't a huge market, but it's already here and Polestar has been building out its service and parts network. The cars are also made in China.
All this move means to me is that Volvo is confident it has the kinks worked out enough to move down-market into Volvo's segment and have the service and parts capacity to deal with it. I suspect that Polestar was the beta test, and it's worked out well enough that they're ready to expand.

The latest half brained idea to loot the productive classes is the idea of taxing unrealized capital gains.
The amount of damage that idea would reek is amazing. In my area real estate prices have exploded and as you point out all those people that inherited their parent's house are going to have to sell and move.
They are doing the same thing with property taxes, though slower.

Yep. All to the point of corps and trusts of the wealthy picking up assets on the cheap.
I never envied the rich but I am coming to the realization that unless the bien pensant rich are neutered as a political class that they will steadily make my life worse on behalf of their greed disguised as compassion.

Exactly. In Mid America Stasis Land, made up of old people living on pensions and Medi-whatever, that is all they care about.
I sometimes ask, 'Do these decrepit people I see flirting with each other at McDonalds at 7:00 in the morning making overtures to each other involving their chronic, degenerative illnesses, believe they somehow they will never die? What have they done, what metaphysical preparations have they made?'

"The difference between science and social science boils down to prediction. On Sept. 26, 2022, a NASA rocket hit the target at which it was aiming, a 560-foot diameter asteroid some 6.8 million miles from Earth.
In the same month, the Fed missed its target for the consumer-price index; inflation registered 8.2%, some six percentage points higher than the 2% reading at which the central bank was taking aim. Behold physics—and behold economics."

It was Biden's crazy energy policies that started the ball rolling. Cutting off oil and gas production here benefitted Russia, made them rich enough to go to war with Ukraine. Benefitted Iran and caused the uprising in the Middle East.
Strangled industries here and caused inflation.
Cheap energy priduces prosperous societies that can afford to be profligate.

If you retired after 2015 or so, you paid more money into the Social Security system than you are forecasted to get back in benefits.
One of the key functions of Social Security is to provide cheap financing for Federal deficits, at the expense of retirees.

People with intentionally bad memory did not note that Trump's initial budget did have substantial cuts but GOPe led by Lyin Ryan and Bitch McConnell promptly ignored it and furthermore continued the no budget resolution approach followed by the Dems since 2010. That meant 2010 increases by Obammy were still baked into the cake.
Most people don't really understand the budget nor how Congress magically makes items disappear by calling them contingencies which means off the books.
Easier to simply blame Trump.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Seattle takeout orders have reached a breaking point. Amid horror stories of $122 Thai delivery and $26 to-go coffees, the Emerald City is now considering rolling back a brand new wage law that’s causing food takeout prices to skyrocket and delivery orders to tank. It's just the latest in a series of wage laws that are backfiring this year, causing chaos for customers, restaurants, and the gig workers they were meant to help.
The true minimum wage is $0.00/hr, and any other mandated wage distorts the labor markets. That is fact. Governments have been playing fast and loose with immutable economic laws for centuries, and while they are expert at obfuscation, they cannot hide the undeniable fact of their missteps, because the data are screaming in everyone's faces! Every minimum wage law, every legal restriction on the free exchange of capital for goods and labor restrains the natural growth of an economy. That's the obvious first order effect. But there are even more malign ones that do not appear for years. teenagers can't get summer jobs when the minimum wage is higher than their labor is worth. Who wants to pay some pimply-faced 16-year old $20/hour to push a broom around or flip burgers? So that work experience is lost to him, never to be recovered. Companies on the margin of profitability will fail, and companies that are someone's life's dream will never be created because the artificial labor market -- courtesy of our legislators who never worked an honest day in their entitled lives -- has priced them out. Maybe that would have been the next Apple or Lincoln Electric or Carnegie Steel. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter]

Speaking of the NY judiciary, this NY judge says the second amendment doesn't exist in NY.
Dane@UltraDane
NY Judge: The Second Amendment Doesn't Exist Here. ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.'
Judge Abena Darkeh, suggesting that the Second Amendment doesn't apply anywhere she doesn't approve? What other rights don't exist in New York under Judge Darkeh's paradigm? Do defendants not have the right to representation? Is free speech non-existent?

At also destroys entry level job ladder. A classic from Mike Rowe who understands the economy better than most of the MSM:
“There is a ladder of success that people climb,” he continued. “Some of those jobs that are out there for seven, eight, nine dollars an hour, in my view, they’re simply not intended to be careers. They’re not intended to be full-time jobs. They’re rungs on a ladder.”
“[Those jobs] are ways for people to get experience in the workforce doing a thing that might not necessarily pay you as much as you’d like, but nevertheless serves a real purpose,” Rowe added. “I worry that the path to a skilled trade can be compromised when you offer an artificially high wage for, I hate the expression, but an unskilled job.”
Rowe’s poignant warning is borne out by the statistics. . .

Both Ford and Chevy loose $$$$ on every EV they sell. Their plan was initially to soak up the losses with their IC truck and car lines and really crank up the EV production because the Federal government told them that by 2030 all new cars sales would be mandated to be electric vehicles.
When that happened they could really jack up the EV prices and start making a fortune. Now that isn't gonna happen and they both lost big bucks betting on the EV market. Sucks to be them.

But it's happening at the high end too, as more and more Americans are forced out in favor of foreign workers. In many instances, the foreign workers never leave their home countries. 90% of coding or research or STEM can be done remotely. Why would a company pay Americans $X salary and Y benefits, when it can pay foreigners in India or China or Philippines maybe 25% of that?
I recently spoke to some Stuyvesant students about future job prospects, mostly from my perspective of the legal field. These are very smart kids -- almost all foreigners, btw -- and heavy on STEM. But they see the writing on the wall, or at least their parents do.
I feel really bad for today's kid's who are gonna enter a workforce where Americans get shafted. This isn't our country any more.

Nobody works for free, but minimum wages *will* distort the market, because any kind of price control does.
The greatest distortions happen when you have two essential but at least somewhat flexible categories and you make one synthetically expensive and the other synthetically cheap. This will cause a compound effect, and that's exactly what's happening. *Everything* is made up of (at least in terms of meta-categories) "capital" and "labor." The mix is not fixed, but everything has both.
Policy keeps the price of labor high (minimum wage, work restrictions, credentialing, etc.) and the price of capital low (interest rate repression), making a net effect of extremely cheap capital *and* extremely expensive labor. Say hello to "capital preference" in all endeavors.
In a proper market, capital and labor prices are balanced through supply and demand. In this environment, the state's thumb on the scale is a 1-2 punch against labor.

It is the same dynamic and largely the people--the nomenklatura of the US--that are responsible for the collapse. Walter Dean Burnham, a former commie who turned conservative, named them as the 'managers' in his Managerial Revolution book in the 40's. What he did not see back then before he died is that managerialism is no less than a mask for petty aristocrats that are basically blood sucking parasites on society and totally unnecessary for a free economy to work.

Cool. Take it at face value.
Two years is not enough time to completely deindustrialize without a titanic body count. Given that, there is only one rational response to the coming crisis: produce. A lot. Of everything.
If we're already beyond the Rubicon - and we are, if the 2-year timeline is to be believed - then there is *zero* downside to accelerating the unstoppable trend and stockpiling resources as insurance against the future. All environmental regulation should be zeroed. All of it, without exception. Produce as much as possible while you still can, and damn the consequences. We're up against the end of the world, so the survival of the species and its organizations is paramount, so take every step possible to prevent the die-off.

Under the progressive tax rate system, additional income earned over certain income thresholds is subject to higher tax rates, ranging from 10 percent to 37 percent. The highest‐paid Americans are charged a federal marginal income tax rate of 37 percent on each dollar earned above $731,200 (married) in 2024. The average top rate increases to 46 percent after factoring in state, local, and Medicare taxes.
When the government takes close to half of each additional dollar earned, it changes an individual’s decisions about how much to work and what type of work to do. There are at least four ways high tax rates decrease economic activity.

Manhattan is a short ways behind Seattle in this regard. But I already changed my eating habits to avoid sky-high food delivery fees. What did I do? I stopped using them. Fuck them and their fees.
I either cook for myself. That's very easy to do in a city where all supermarkets have aisles of good quality, ready-made food. If I want to order food, I'll get off my ass, walk the two blocks to the restaurant, and order take out. I'll save literally 30-35%.
The only time I'll use the delivery apps any more if if I have a date that I'm not cooking for. In that case, the delivery vig is worth not having to go to the place to pick it up.

If I ruled the US, it's b/c I'd be putting a 100% tax on all salaries paid to foreigners for any company which does business in the US (or more - they'd pay the equivalent salary of a US worker back to the US govt). If you want access to our lawfulness, resources, and consumers, you can pay people here to create and provide it, or pay what it would cost if you were here.
Thus, bringing back the jobs for the 90 IQ male in this country.
Yes, things would cost more. But people would be employed and entitlements would plummet (b/c getting entitlements would require work within a certain period...b/c I'd also link work with bennies)...

Quality is one piece. Overhead is another. Offshoring is not free. It is, in fact, very expensive. In non-real goods (software, call centers, etc.) it's less expensive, but there are very real costs involved. Telephony goes up a lot. You need real company HQ personnel onsite to keep things in line, and those guys are going to have to be paid a lot. Scheduling is very difficult and introduces operational friction. All of this can be dealt with, but it isn't a free ride.
Physical goods are worse. All of the above applies, but then so does transportation. That's all expensive and the labor can't be a bit cheaper and have the math work. The labor has to be dramatically, wildly cheaper for it to balance. This is one of the reasons why stuff is moving out of China. Eventually, the people you're offshoring to want to be paid more and the model breaks down.

This, too, is a consequence of an open border. The Left is indeed correct that not everyone flooding over the border is a bloodthirsty savage or a lazy bum. There are in fact smart and hard-working people who come over, too. I have no idea what the ratio is, but the groups are all represented.
The open border is the "voucher system" in this comparison. If the good people all leave and just the flotsam remains behind, how will their home countries ever advance, eh? Isn't our open border really, really, really bad for the likes of Guatemala who experience the "brain drain?"
Look at Egypt and, to a much greater degree, Yemen for what happens when you suffer a proper, elongated brain drain.

It’s moving out of China and in to Mexico. Even with the crazy Mexican labor laws, which they are, the delta is still so significantly less than manufacturing here. Another reason it’s moving out of China is the requirement all accounting be run on Chinese servers with Chinese products. Not a mystery why. Also, the Chinese facade is something you have to see to appreciate. You have been there, even in Shanghai hotels the tstat is fake. It’s beautiful, until you look in the back room.

Either Treasury has to spend more and more on interest which accelerates the growth in the deficit or the Fed eats the bonds and prints more money on it. Both are inflationary but we are now seeing economic signs that we have not seen since the 1970's and early 80's and if and when the US ceases to be the world reserve currency then expect imports to skyrocket to nosebleed levels and inflation into the stratosphere.
If you like sci fi, An Enemy of the State by F. Paul Wilson does a pretty decent job in explaining the economics and politics of a dying welfare state. Well worth reading.

Of course we can. but there are two costs to it:
1. It happens less quickly, because demand can't be pulled forward and consumed today (the other side of this - that future demand must be reduced - is conveniently ignored)
2. There is less margin for squeeze. There is no way that our current corruption levels could be maintained on a pay-go basis.
Initially, point 1 is more important. We can produce and develop more, and do it faster, with judicious use of debt and on balance this is a good thing. It lets you bootstrap.
Eventually, though, debt becomes uneconomic and harder to maintain. This *should* result in bankruptcy and correction, but you can also - if you're big enough, like a government - stave that off by transferring the debt to stronger shoulders instead. Everyone's happy this way, and the ability for the spice to flow grows dramatically and it creates its own demand. Until those stronger shoulders weaken and fall, anyway.

I believe that homeschooling is the way to break this education impasse. Right now, good schools are in expensive neighborhoods, and the middle class can't afford to go there (as an aside, you'll never see a stricter border policy in a blue city than the one that prevents kids from other neighborhoods to attend your blue ribbon blue school). If you're middle-class and want to gentrify an up-and-coming area, homeschool your kid there. They stay safe, get educated, and watch the property values go up around you.

My kids are grown, so I don't have to deal with FCPS anymore, but homeschooling is probably not an option for many folks (folx?) if they want to live in FC. It's too expensive for all but a very few single income families.

I said homeschooling, not private schooling. Private schooling here is $16K/kid and up. Homeschooling has cost me about $1K/kid/year, and that's usually for enrichment when they were kids, and science labs and foreign tutors for language in HS. You don't need to pay really anything to homeschool. And now VA (thanks to Youngkin) allows free Dual Enrollment for 6 credits/semester for all grade 11/12, so I no longer pay for those classes either (b/c I do have all my kids start CC classes in grade 11)...

It's moving everywhere. Mexico will be a big winner (and the higher labor cost is offset to a degree by much lower transportation costs), but there are others like Vietnam and India and even the US, in certain areas. There will be no next and singular "the world's factory" like Red China. Mexico is not going to be "the world's factory." It might become "North America's factory," at least for a bit.

Actually, I do have homeschooling friends who both work. Separate shifts also make homeschooling very doable, and separate shifts (be it medical, restaurant, etc - these 2 are the ones friends do, although not included are some who do FT one and PT another parent) are very doable. Again, it's what you value. If you value teaching your kids, you'll make it work.

ZIRP only worked because the US offshored its production and its inflation to China and other third world countries.

Personal services are going to get pinched first. I also suspect that the service industry like GrubHub, etc. where they can be replaced easily by a person's own efforts will also take it in the shorts. Fast food and casual restaurants are also likely to take a hit.
Takes awhile but eventually every inflationary period is followed by a big bust and that is what terrifies the remaining staff with a brain in big finance and the Fed/Treasury complex.

Eh, not entirely, probably. Not all of the Secret Service is on presidential protection detail. The agency probably has legitimate use for women in support roles or even for field work in some cases (undercover operations, for example, where a woman might needed).
But lady bodyguards? Probably not outside of some narrow roles - like following a female protectee into the bathroom.

If you must join a union, the one to join is the IBEW. They get it as much as any union ever will. Johnny Dougherty aside, they have an amazing training program and while they aren’t going to advertise it, they will cross a picket line.

Moving to a better locale for public schools used to be an answer but all of them are infected with the woke virus. A lot of private schools as well nowadays including religious ones are woke.
At this point, consider every institution in the US is broken, woke, and corrupt--corporations, political parties, schools, medicine, finance, news, etc. The timeless solution to that problem is to go minarch---base your activities on your family and small local institutions around you--your neighborhood friends, your local church or synagogue, and so on.

I work at home. I don't have kids, but I do look after my mother (who currently needs minimal help - meals, meds, etc., - not constant supervision). Just being at home doesn't mean you're constantly available to devote attention to kids/parents. I couldn't homeschool effectively with my work-at-home job. Of course, I'll never have to, but being at home doesn't equal being available.

We did change our lifestyle for it to happen, I had to walk away from my job going from a lot to nothing, but it’s still not what anyone would call suffering. It’s not J’s job to support me or my child. If it was just me, there is no way I could do it. I would have to work to keep a roof over our heads. I don’t get a dime from her father. He hasn’t seen her or spoken to her in almost 7 years now. I am so grateful J earns what he does that allows it, but moreover, he is willing to do it.

They're liveable if you're used to any sort of actual winter. Not nearly as much snow as places like Syracuse and of course Buffalo. It's moderate compared to a lot of New England, or at least I thought so.

First, they will oppose protective tariffs. Then oppose various taxes on the wealthy. Then price controls.
Rarely do other bad ideas come under any significant fraction of the same scrutiny. Minimum wage? Rent control? Subsidy or "private public partnerships" for stadium deals, convention centers, high speed rail?
Even if one agrees that protecting, for instance, tire makers from Chinese Rubber will raise prices on cars, suggesting that perhaps other considerations than prices might come into play will draw insults. "Comparative Advantage, you idiot! Read Ricardo! Study Bastiat!" Yes, okay. I'll do that. Now tell me why you don't attack NYC's rent control regime with the same ferocity.

Free labor means open borders if taken to its logical conclusion. It also means allowing people to sell themselves into slavery, and organ donation.
As to no one wanting to pay a pimply faced sixteen year old 20/hr. True. No one in business wants to pay any decent wage at all---if they can get away with it. Businessmen would whine about paying a dollar an hour if the m. wage was a dollar, and the prevailing wage was such. Businessmen are like women, they whine a lot.

Could an AI produce "better"? Maybe, someday almost certainly, but it's more impressive that it was produced by a human. I suppose someone could argue that pieces of a more technical nature, such as yesterday's, are impressive but I think that's, at best, only the case for the first time it's done.
Anyway, religious art isn't particularly my preference but... would hang.

In fairness, if the appeals court found that the trial court had been prejudicial, this was the correct result regardless of his guilt.

Side note, EVERY HS English department in the Anglosphere needs to build a monument to Iron Maiden in recognition of their making English lit and history appealing to teenage boys. Well, I was into both but Iron Maiden made it that much better.

I know someone who went through this. A coworker went on a business trip to India and had a single cartridge in his bag that he had missed. It got discovered going through Indian airport security on his way home. He didn't pay the bribes (he said he didn't even realize he was being solicited for bribes until after the fact) and landed in Indian jail. He called his boss and explained what happened, and the company - thankfully - went to bat for him.
It took the company's lawyers and reps in India three *months* to spring him and get him home. I shudder to think of what it cost, because I learned that apparently that company actually follows the law and doesn't have a local spook contracted to pay bribes and whatnot. Took forever, and he had to rot in Indian jail the entire time.

The valgus term in genu valgus refers to the extremity distal to the knee joint deviating away from the midline. This causes the appearance of the knees coming together. Similarly, in hallux valgus the toe distal to the metatarsal-phalangeal (MP) joint deviate away from the midline, causing the bunion to deviate inward.

Exactly, but there are millions of people who aren't on the left. Put the evidence out for everyone to see and make the terrorist supporters defend them instead of pretending October 7th didn't happen or wasn't a bid deal.
Being on offense is generally better than being on defense when trying to win support.

I was thinking about that little 4 year old Biden met with- there were speculations photos with her family were released but not of the Biden meeting because Biden was acting foolish. Maybe. My guess is even more cynical. I bet that poor tiny thing is so traumatized it would show in the pictures removing any question of who the Palestinians are as a people. I am praying for her. I hope she recovers and doesn’t spend her life fighting mental demons.

Photo of Hamas terrorists parading Shani Louk’s body wins top award, sparking outrage
A sickening image of Hamas terrorists parading a slain woman’s near-naked body through the streets of Gaza has been awarded a prestigious photo-of-the-year prize — sparking fierce outrage from those who slammed the win as “an outrageous desecration of Jewish life.”
The grim photo featuring Shani Louk’s body was among a collection of 20 images that helped the Associated Press secure first place in one of the Pictures of the Year International award categories earlier this month. . .
Louk, a 23-year-old German Israeli tattoo artist, was among the scores of innocent music festival-goers taken hostage when Hamas terrorists carried out its deadly Oct. 7 onslaught.
She quickly became one of the faces of the war after the shocking images of her lifeless body on the back of pickup truck started going viral. Israeli authorities later confirmed the young woman had tragically been beheaded by her captors.
That's a "myth?"?!?!?

Judge Abena Darkeh, suggesting that the Second Amendment doesn't apply anywhere she doesn't approve? What other rights don't exist in New York under Judge Darkeh's paradigm? Do defendants not have the right to representation? Is free speech non-existent?

Saw some young woman on X complaining about the cost of rent, the cost of food... basically everything. She then went on to say if she has no where to live the government will give her a place to live and give her money for food.
I was lucky during the Carter years, but it was a similar sense of hopelessness back then.

If General Bill McManus, San Antonio Police Department, Commanding had his way - he already has said that the police can and should pick and choose the laws it wants to enforce (in different words) - the illegal aliens would be a protected class, because he is concerned they will not turn to the police for help if those poor SWEETHEARTS are in fear of the law.

The Morning Report — 4/25/24
“When the enemy is making a false movement, we must take good care not to interrupt him,” so said Napoleon at one of the critical junctures of the Battle of Waterloo. Today it is commonly written as: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. ”With that in mind: what the fuck is Mike Johnson doing? No, not with his predictable capitulation to the defense industry. That move was obvious as the day is long. What’s more stunning is his bizarre trip to Columbia University on Wednesday, where he squeaked into a microphone, drowned out by cacophonous students chanting – doubtless to their chagrin (and ignorance) – in agreement with Steve Bannon of late: “Mike you suck! Mike you suck!” Johnson’s completely arbitrary trip to New York is the very definition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. An issue that was completely at the feet of Joe Biden and the fools in his foreign policy apparatus now appears – at best – as a “uniparty” issue, and at worst, as a scenario where the GOP is running interference for neoconservatism like its 2003. . . . . . Why is it yours, my, or Mike Johnson’s job to save them from themselves? Simply speaking: it ain’t.And what happens when the Columbia University President refuses to resign, as Johnson demanded? The faculty will frame it as defiance against Republicans on Capitol Hill and by proxy (though you and I might know it’s not true), Donald Trump. . . . . . So I ask you again: what the fuck was Mike Johnson doing? When Biden’s White House is under continuous fire from its once-believed “baked-in” voters. To interrupt your enemy when he’s making a false move? The height of narcissism and folly. And dare I suggest, perhaps intentional?"Thanks, Raheem. I needed that last sentence to disabuse me of the notion that they're stupid. Stupid though as it seems at first glance, it does indeed seem that this GOP is intentionally trying to sabotage Trump and other Republicans, MAGAns or RINOs, from gaining control this November. Then again, as we have all postulated what do elections really mean in a nation that is now so top-to-bottom corrupt both in and outside of government, that they can be stolen now openly with zero repercussions? Where kangaroo courts, as well as private institutions such as banks and media platforms, are running pell-mell to destroy political opposition, be it from the most prominent leaders to lowly citizens? Worst of all, we have schools that have not only poisoned the minds of at least three generations of children to hate their country, their heritage, their parents and even themselves? Where scores of them are now ready, willing and able to commit acts of violence at the drop of a hat. Or yarmulke?
A Jewish Yale University student was jabbed in [near] the eye with a flag pole by an anti-Israel protester on Saturday night, Sophomore Sahar Tartak told The Jerusalem Post. Tartak, a history student and editor-in-chief of the Yale Free Press, had attempted to film the pro-Palestinian protest encampment that had been set up on the campus. The visibly religious Jewish student and her friend were immediately met with a wall of five activists each, who did not allow them to pass. “One of them takes their Palestinian flag and waves it in my face and then jabs it in the face,” said Tartak. Tartak reported the assault to campus police, but she is unaware of any action taken besides calling an ambulance for her. The student went to the hospital, but was discharged and will not suffer permanent damage. Mentally, however, Tartak said that she was in an “awful” state. Why did the campus police not seek to arrest the student who hit her in the face with a flagpole? Will the university now investigate the matter, and determine who that student was, so that he, or she, can be subject to appropriate discipline, including expulsion from Yale? Sahar Tartak is now fearful of returning to the Yale campus, since these pro-Hamas demonstrators now know who she is and may seek her out for violent retribution for reporting the flagpole attack to the police, especially if the perpetrator is indeed discovered and prosecuted.Meanwhile, just off Washington Square Park, not five blocks from where I once lived, this happened yesterday at NYU:
Out of control New York University protesters swarmed and berated an NYPD chief and his officers – calling them “f–king fascists” – after they cuffed one of the demonstrators at an anti-Israel rally, wild new video shows. The viral video, shared on X, shows NYPD Assistant Chief James McCarthy and his officers being chased and surrounded by protestors on Monday night while trying to get inside the NYU Catholic Center after arresting one of them. “F–k you! F–k you, pigs,” the crowd could be heard shouting as they harassed the officers and demanded they release the woman in custody. Mccarthy is seen attempting to get inside the NYU Catholic Center, but couldn't open the door. He eventually finds an unlocked door around the corner. . . . . . The wild incident occurred when the NYPD was called in to clear out the campus encampment set up at NYU on Monday night, with more than 100 protesters arrested. The students had created their own “tent city” in solidarity with the sprawling encampment set up at Columbia University, with NYU students demanding their own school divest holdings tied to Israel over the war in Gaza. During Monday night’s clash with police, some protesters pelted NYPD officers with bottles as they worked to clear the encampment, with one demonstrator hitting a cop in the head with a chair, the NYPD said.If I want to be positive, most of these bastards will be descending on Chicago this summer to "attend" the Democrat National Convention. Although it's small consolation that they'll be mindlessly shrieking at Democrats, I suspect quite a few synagogues in the Windy City might have their walls covered in swastikas, if not firebombed. All in the name of "coexistence." On the downside, how else can the Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants/Kalorama Klown Komintern stab Israel in the heart to try and appease them beforehand? While perhaps that might not satisfy the rabid tiger's appetite for Jewish blood, this is on the horizon to mollify the Einsatz-groupies:
Democrats have already made it clear that they will stop at nothing – nothing – to prevent Donald Trump from winning in November. So, we aren’t surprised to read reports that President Joe Biden might declare a “climate emergency” this year in hopes that it gooses his reelection odds. Never mind that such a declaration would put the U.S. right on the path to a Venezuela-style future. Late last week, Bloomberg reported that “White House officials are weighing whether to declare a national climate emergency several months out from the 2024 election.” . . . Let’s leave aside the entirely fatuous notion that there is anything even remotely constituting a climate “emergency.” What would be the basis for such a declaration? The number of hurricanes, fires, floods? None of these has been trending upward. Death rates from natural disasters are a tiny fraction of what they were 60 years ago, and lower than they were 20 years ago. Food production is way up. . . . . . As we just learned from the three-year COVID national emergency, the left will eagerly use a climate emergency declaration to strip Americans of basic rights. Whatever you think of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., he is one of the few who has been outspoken about the dangers the COVID precedent set. “We’ve now established a precedent in this country – they suspended the First Amendment: religion; freedom of association when they did the lockdowns,” he told Fox News. “[They restricted] freedom of speech. They banned jury trials against vaccine companies – that’s [a violation of] the Seventh Amendment. They abolished property rights [which violates the] Fifth Amendment [when] they closed 3.3 million businesses with no due process, no just compensation, although there was no pandemic exception in the United States Constitution.” Way back in 1973, a Senate report noted that emergency declarations give the president the ability to “seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens.” . . . Declaring a climate emergency would give Biden the ability to control anything that uses energy – which means literally all human activity – in the name of fighting this emergency. If Biden were to declare a “climate emergency” and if – God forbid – it helps him win reelection, there will be little hope for the future of this nation.And if by some miracle the majority of American-Americans say "Hell no!" to this, the little monsters on campuses nationwide terrorizing Jews will be unleashed, unbound, and will come after us for threatening Mother Earth. Picture Greta Thunberg in a Palestinian terror towel wielding a Molotov Cocktail. Times tens of thousands. Of course, Jews will be targeted first because capitalism is destroying the planet. Remember: given everything going on today, we are all Jews now.

Meet Solomon Galligan, a known s*x offender who was just arrested for attempting to kidnap a boy at Black Forest Hills Elementary in Colorado.
Based on his Facebook profile, Galligan also appears to be trans.
The governor of Colorado just signed Tiaras Law which allows trans cr*minals to hide their cr*minal record. Solomon may now be able to hide his s*x offenses and cr*minal history.
---
The Governor of CO quietly signed HB1071 aka “Tiara’s Law.”
The law will make it easier for trans criminals to change their name, evade identification, & hide their criminal record.
It’s named after Tiara, a d*ag queen, convicted felon, & s*x worker.
This is the group who pushed for it to pass. [andy: the usual suspects]
RIP Colorado.

This is why Bishop Mar Mari is so loved.
The priest says the video of his attack should stay up on X because that’s the freedom of religion and speech our brave Anzacs fought for, declaring himself a ‘proud Aussie’.

The seven, aged 15 to 17, were part of a network that included a 16-year-old boy accused of stabbing a bishop...

Thanks to their digital propaganda apparatus, their younger supporters, the ones who matter, want pogroms. The politically smart move is to play to them, and so the Democrats will do that. The vicious rhetoric about, street actions against, and social isolation of Jews and many other groups will continue to grow in scope and intensity.

I believe RFK is more of a harm to Democrats than he is a help. But many people disagree, and believe the opposite. Fox is likely in that group, and figure that bringing him on to harp about issues the GOP base cares about will draw votes from Trump. That's all they exist to do - keep the Right's sheep in the pen, the way the other nets do for the Left.

It is noteworthy that Ivanov was not even allowed to change into civilian clothes and was sent to detention center in his uniform with general's shoulder straps and plaques of the highest state orders.
Sergei Borodin, Ivanov's close friend, was also detained
According to the investigators' version, Ivanov and Borodin conspired to receive a bribe during contracting and subcontracting works for the needs of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Borodin and Ivanov were detained for two months by court order.

No TRUE Christians anywhere are attacking Jews. It's Muslims and Maoists all the way down. That said, if it takes a clueless self-gassing Yid getting his face smashed to wake the fuck up, so be it.

Of course, that's what I just said and have been saying for months. They need to make Joe look at least somewhat believeable to make the cheat plausible.
Biden is getting crushed in all of the key issues like the immigration, the economy, inflation, war, etc.. He's loosing is most polls in at least 6 of the 7 swing states he "won" in 2020. Yet somehow he is tied with Trump?

I agree with this. Shenanigans will happen again…. If they push really hard, they’ll push Brandon over the top again with cheating. It’ll take more cheating this time….. if that occurs I have no clue how the country will respond. I vacillate between optimism and pessimism.
I had been thinking they’d reluctantly let Trump win… but the more I realize how much they hate him I’m beginning to think they’re attitude is that that cannot be allowed to happen no matter the cost… which means the rest of this year, and especially the weeks after Election Day, could be totally chaotic

I think it might be time for Trump and his supporters who are perpetually being indicted for bullshit claims to quit playing by the left's rules and ignore these attempts to get them in court.
It's time to drop all pretenses that the left is at war with us. They will overreact. They will make the mistake of showing how far they're willing to go to impose their will on the public.
The media will make a spectacle of armed agents or soldiers swarming business suited men and women in public to arrest them for being on the "wrong side." The spin will be epic. But also complete horseshit.

Is the trouble with this nation
Too many blessings, too little appreciation
And I know that kind of notion—well, it just ain't cool
So send me back to Sunday school
Because I'm tired of waiting for reason to arrive
It's too long we've been living
These unexamined lives
I've got great expectations
I've got family and friends
I've got satisfying work
I've got a back that bends
For every breath, for every day of living
This is my Thanksgiving
...
Now I'm welcoming the fall
For every moment of joy
Every hour of fear
For every winding road that brought me here
For every breath, for every day of living
This is my Thanksgiving

I'm not at all sure that this is true. Time will tell with how hard they cheat, but so far everything they have done increases Trump's popularity. Trump gets victim points because of their direct actions against him, and resentment with the status quo increases with every governance change the administration makes. A "climate emergency" will be more of the same.
They're pathological but many of them are not stupid. I think the possibility that they want Trump should be considered. It would be a modest setback for sure and they also hate that for sure, but it would solve a decent number of problems for them as well. It wouldn't shock me if the Party's cost/benefit analysis shows that a second Trump administration might narrowly beat out his defeat.

Looks like this is one of those "embrace the power of 'and'" situations.
Yes, this is very much being facilitated, funded and organized by the same people that gave us OWS, #MeToo, BLM, etc.
However, it *is* being coordinated with Hamas. Hamas started these protests all across Western world within a day or two of 10/7 attack. Hell, the Girl Scouts started a fund for Palestinian kids on 10/10 (and how many others orgs did this, too?) - like, before the Israeli dead had been counted, the kibbutz fires put out, etc..
Op-ed on Tuesday's WSJ "Who's Behind the Anti-Israel Protests by Steven Stalinsky, Exec Dir of MEMRI says it is ME terrorists organizing these protests. Terrorists.
[iEvery Senior Hamas leader has acknowledged the importance of the protests and said that influencing U.S. and Western policy is a part of the organization's strategy for destroying Israel. Khaled Mashal, the Hamas leader abroad, on October 10th, urged supporters to protest "in the cities everywhere." . ..

This really pisses me off, far more than most similar actions.
When a cute kid tries to sell me popcorn or cookies, I now (well, for quite some time, actually, but whatever) have to decline. But the *reason* I have to decline is not that kid's fault, and the kid will be unlikely to understand why I have to decline. I just have to tell him or her, "no, thank you." If I tell him or her, "I will not because I do approve of your organization's support for various causes I find socially corrosive" or similar, he or she won't understand and will just tell his or her parent, "no, he didn't buy anything he was just mean to me."
Using organizations for children to do this stuff ensures that there is no effective feedback loop to the organization. Most people don't want to upset to children and even if the person clarifies, it is likely to be lost in translation. It sucks.

I think the “persuasion” campaigns must be more subtle. Because if it’s happening all the time and it’s blatant it would be human nature for at least one pol to say “F U… I won’t be blackmailed, I’m going to the press”… if Johnson was being blatantly blackmailed his smartest play would be to go straight to Fox News and say “I just got a visit from the FBI (or whoever) and they threatened to expose (this or that) if I didn’t fund Ukraine; well this or that happened but I won’t be blackmailed”…. Since no one has ever done this, I conclude the pressure campaigns are very subtle

Much of it already has been. It didn't matter. What's Trump gonna do? Declassify? Sure, okay. The drone will just violate orders. Hold a press conference? The spin doctors will call it a conspiracy theory and write it off for weeks until the NPCs get the programming.
They know how to contain Trump and know now that they can get away with violating any order they please and that Congress will back them if push comes to shove. Trump lost the last "shutdown battle" - the only real recourse left - and will lose the next one if he tries it. The nuke fizzled in the silo.
Which is why I am not sure they actually care whether Trump gets in again. It would be a setback for sure, but not insurmountable - and it would give them a reprieve from public responsibility for a moment *and* let them cleanly ice Biden while saving face and prepping his replacement (probably Whitmer, maybe Newsom).

The dumbest people on campus are in either the Ed school or the J school. Every time. Both departments are filled with lazy dullards as the norm. If a college has both departments, flip a coin as to which one is stupider and lazier. If a college has only one, no coin flip is needed.

I've been banging the drum about our government pushing NATO inclusion for both Georgia and Ukraine knowing since 2008 it would lead to war but the vast majority of this country still thinks Putin woke up one day and invaded for no reason. At the start of this war most here thought that as well.
Ask 5 people at your office if they know that the US government ran color revolusions in both Georgia and Ukraine and see how many know that happened let alone how many of them know they also ran a color revolution on the US in 2020 and it's still going on.

Training sessions and documents on how to deal with police and media, explaining university disciplinary procedures (showing a legal review) and discussing just what students can and cannot do. The article capped it all off by saying "don't worry, even if you do get suspended, we have three faculty members on the discipline committee who are members of our organization".

That's precisely the point.
Anyone *could* know if he wanted to do or even just got exposed to it. Yet so few do. Why? Information control, spin, propaganda and personal interest.
Most people don't have personal interest, so they don't have to be considered. You just have to shield them from too much accidental exposure. Those that do have personal interest are more dangerous, so you have to not only shield them but also supplement the shield with lies. Thankfully, however, the mechanism for doing both is the same: the propaganda complex.
They still have it, and will retain it. Trump can't break it and so they can run essentially the same playbook they developed last time.

A competent New York prosecutor (if there were such a thing) or a non-politicized Department of Justice (fat chance!), should be investigating the source of this logistical support. These terrorists and their financial backers should then be subject to criminal charges for conspiracy in connection with the illegal acts now occurring on campus.
Absent a competent and willing state or federal prosecutor, Jewish organizations – and others – should provide financial support for civil lawsuits for conspiracy against the on-campus terrorists and their financiers. Smart lawyers can no doubt come up with numerous theories of liability. Perhaps they would include such things as tortious interference with the students’ contractual right to attend classes and conspiracy to prevent their attendance? The full discovery that goes with such a suit should be very interesting.

Columbia Law School students told their Jewish classmates they should not advocate for the school to bring police to campus to ensure their safety because the presence of law enforcement "makes students of color feel unsafe,"
In one message, second-year law student Aya Hashem admonished her Jewish counterparts for advocating for police presence on campus, saying it "makes students of color feel unsafe and feel as though we've learned nothing since George Floyd."
"I shouldn't have to explain why POC especially black students do not want dozens of police officers in riot gear all over campus. Why are we pretending like we don't know that this country has a serious police brutality problem, where unarmed black people (especially men) are murdered indiscriminately by police officers???"

I don't think Trump is going to fall for the old banana in the tail pipe trick again. Remember, they didn't what they were looking for at Mar A Lago.
The fact is that after everything they have thrown at Trump they are losing and not by a little. People may not know the cause of what is happening to the country but they can see it just like we do and despite 7 years of non-stop attacks on Trump is more popular than ever. And if he does win he will be infinitely more prepared and knowledgable about the swamp than he was in 2016.

Meritocracy and the Great Power Competition
______
Interesting read, though the author (of the article) has a distressing tendency to use "GDP" as if it were one of the actors in the events, rather than a measure.
Also, the book definitely sounds Procrustean, cutting or stretching the historical record to make it fit the model. It should be the other way round.
But it is refreshing to see someone being less than 100% enthusiastic in flag waving for "meritocracy", and does note that in the US that took hold strongest at the start of the Cold War. The record of "The Best and the Brightest" was, at best, mixed.

"If you voted for Joe Biden and the Democrats, you voted for every single thing that's happened to you. You realize that don't you? Did you support BLM, antifa, Hamas lawlessness?

And NAMBLA openly partnered with the "gay rights" groups back when the ball got rolling on that back in the 60s. The gays asked the pedos to back off when they got traction, assuring them that their time would come.
The communists openly partnered with (actually, founded and controlled from the start much of) the "environmentalist" and "feminist" movements back when the ball got rolling on that even earlier. They, too, toned down the openness of their support and control once things started growing.

The far right and far left bend and meet at antisemitism.
but the right is UTTERLY unconcerned with the suffering or deprivations of anyone outside these shores (and mostly, to any outside their own household). So solidarity with the Palestinian people or cause? Not even as a passing thought.
if they see any possibility in hurting Biden, they most certainly will capitalize on it. I could see a few agitators causing violence, property destruction and then having RW media blame it on leftists.
No. Take a look at where right wing media and MAGA talking points are on this subject. I think forces outside of America are stirring things up, though.

They're still practicing by marching around the block once a day.

Meritocracy and the Great Power Competition
______
Interesting read, though the author (of the article) has a distressing tendency to use "GDP" as if it were one of the actors in the events, rather than a measure.
Also, the book definitely sounds Procrustean, cutting or stretching the historical record to make it fit the model. It should be the other way round.
But it is refreshing to see someone being less than 100% enthusiastic in flag waving for "meritocracy", and does note that in the US that took hold strongest at the start of the Cold War. The record of "The Best and the Brightest" was, at best, mixed.
Posted by: Eeyore at April 25, 2024 09:08 AM (1bNHn)
Well meritocracy, or aristocracy, theoretically means the most capable in a given area should run things in that area. In practice, sorting mechanisms besides straightforward competition seem dubious. The shift towards examination systems in the west was an intentional imitation of Asia's practices.

The nomination is sewn up, so the only purpose really is a protest vote (or a counter-protest vote).
My area is *very* heavily Republican, but during our primary, I saw ... zero Democrat ballots go out. That's a narrow range of exposure, I know because I was only in line for a bit, but zero. Zero is weird, even where I live.
There was no point. Biden had it sewn up already, so why bother, especially in a precinct where the outcome was known anyway?

Trump represents a movement. He's the orange face and loud voice of at least half this country and that includes people like John Eastman and now a number of other Trump supporters in Arizona.
Yes, they are corrupt and yes they have power. They've had it for decades but are now being forced out into the open to try and tamp down a movement that is a real threat to the insider game they have been playing for decades.
We aren't a communist country, not yet anyway, and popular support still means something in this country. For how much longer is anyone's guess but they are committing open warfare against us in the courts and it is all of us who they are trying to send a message. The cases are so blatantly political it seems to be having the opposite effect.
They threw hundreds into prison for J6 trespassing because they can't have people questioning election integrity. They will have to do much more cheating this time with senile Joe. This is why I wanted Trump to be the nominee. This election will decide whether we are still the USA anymore and they know it too.

She organized a campus pro-Hamas protest a few days after 10/7. She doesn't feel unsafe at all - just playing word games.
But it get weirder, because all Lefty things inevitably merge: https://tinyurl.com/4u2uzct7
When Columbia suspended him in early April, Aidan Parisi was technically required to leave campus. . . Four days later, he posted a statement to his Instagram account detailing his refusal to leave.
"As I am writing this I am sitting in my campus apartment which Columbia University is attempting to illegally evict me from, leaving me housing, food, and healthcare insecure," he wrote. "We will resist institutional repression just as the Palestinians have resisted occupation. … We must remain steadfast in our commitment to university divestment and to a free Palestine."
"Que viva la intifada. … Inshallah, we will rise victorious."
Parisi has advertised his status as a protest leader under the X handle "itsaidanbitch" and was an easily identifiable figure on campus on Monday, sporting a gold chain, large sunglasses, a nose ring, long acrylic fingernails, and a floral basketball jersey worn underneath a keffiyeh.

Biden is the sitting POTUS and PA is supposedly his home state and he only got 87% of the D vote.
He lost NH to the Dem congressman with the big nose. Until the DNC found a bunch of votes...

They are protesting the actions of the Israeli GOVERNMENT
😁They are not "antisemitic"
[Kurt you fool. They're apostate self-gassing Jews who are dupes and stooges of your kind. And protesting the Israeli govt, arguably as close to the world's absolute moral authority as we can get, IS in fact anti-semitic by any definition of the term and history.

Most sources reporting on Ukraine aid defer to the Institute for the World Economy (IFW) tracker out of Germany.
Per that source, the EU (institutions and member states) have allocated (that is, spent/budgeted for) 89.6 billion EUR, about half of it military and the rest financial and "humanitarian." The EU has "committed" (that is, promised) a total of 145.6 billion EUR, about a third of it military.
The US has allocated 67.1 billion EUR, 2/3 military. It has "committed" a total of 70.4 billion EUR, about 40% military. These numbers do *not* count the bill that was just passed.
The US alone has actually contributed nearly as much as all of Europe (might be higher now, with the recent bill) and most of the military aid. Throw in the UK and it matches what Europe has spent. The Anglosphere as a whole exceeds Europe.
Into the future, Europe has *promised* more than the US or the Anglosphere more broadly - but those are promises, not deliveries.

Meh. Even if they were 100% convinced he'd lose, they still want to punish him, and his supporters, to scare off any outsiders looking to rock the boat in the future. It doesn't cost the Left (and GOPe) anything to run Trump and Co. into the ground, and helps motivate their base. Every junta needs an "other" to persecute and blame.

Yeah, what the Marxist left has been doing the past 5 years has not been done out of fear, but from a position of power. And they are using the Ender's Game principle. Where Ender Wiggin beat the bully into the ground, so as to win not just that fight, but every future fight.
What the Marxist left is doing is sending a message to every single person in America that what they are doing to Trump, they will do to you if you dare oppose them.

There is no logical reason for Biden to be closing in on Trump and there certainly is no evidence on the ground. Biden gets a couple dozen people at his speeches while Trump is drawing thousands.

Yep, this is prepping the battlefield for the rigged and stolen election in November. This will be a repeat of 2020.
And I would pay close attention to Texas. That is now a battleground state that I think the right is taking for granted. Just as Hillary took for granted she would win PA, MI and WI in 2016.
From 2012 to 2020, Democrats made up 630k votes. The difference in 2020 was... 631k votes. This after the difference was 1.2mil in 2012 and 1.7mil in 2004. With the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens that have invaded over the past 4 years, that easily makes up the 631k votes needed to flip Texas.

You start to wonder what skeletons are in his family's closet and what the flying *bleep* difference that would make in this time? If a Democrat sodomized baby lambs, nobody would bat a *bleeping* eye. He couldn't have done something worse than that, I hope.

In other words, some people were on the verge of admitting that maybe Hamas did something to provoke the current crisis. And now they won't do it because Republicans are icky and keeping a united front against Republicans is more important than whatever Hamas did. Right?

“[They restricted] freedom of speech. They banned jury trials against vaccine companies – that’s [a violation of] the Seventh Amendment. They abolished property rights [which violates the] Fifth Amendment [when] they closed 3.3 million businesses with no due process, no just compensation, although there was no pandemic exception in the United States Constitution.”
Yep. And no one who executed the Plandemic faced consequences for anything. Nothing. Not here in USA, not in Canada, not in Australia, not in New Zealand, not in Europe. No where in western civilization did anyone who perpetrated this tyranny face consequences.
The Deep State then went on to rig and steal the 2020 Presidential election and the 2022 Arizona Governor election. And went on to entrap American citizens in the "insurrection". Again, with zero consequences.
The Deep State does not do this out of fear, they do this because they can and know no one can or even has the will to stop them.

Johnson can't play against the full fledged socialist, Chuck Schumer, who - like Biden - began & will end in politics surrounded by the like minded family. I doubt much of story within the CNN article re: Joe's Team and, 'How the White House convinced Mike Johnson to back Ukraine aid,' 04/24/24. I figure Mikey - IF not already all in on that piece of political theater - was sat down & told by 'Joe's Team' to take a good look at Louisiana Economic Development (LED), Military and Defense. (You, too, in your future, Mikey, can be picking sh*t with the chickens.)
Maybe the brave Congressional folks from NY who stood with him will be OK when it comes to reelection but Ms. Foxx from NC, I wouldn't bet the farm next year. First, the NC Governor was an invitee at the State Dinner for Japan; it's heavily invested in the state. Secondly, she's a member of the dwindling Constitution Caucus & third, see K-12Dive, Feb 12, 2024, Dive Brief article, "The congresswoman has been a vocal critic of the Education Department, including its pandemic spending and Title IX regulatory efforts." (Reading of the full article suggested.)

Daily Tech News 25 April 2024
Top Story
- President Biden has carried out his ceremonial duties as pudding-in-chief and smeared the TikTok divest-or-die bill into law. (The Verge)
Huzzah, I guess.
Tech News
- Snap is the worst thing since systemd.
If you are running LXD, and you install it with Snap, MAKE SURE TO PIN THE VERSION OR IT WILL DIE.
- Meanwhile, Ubuntu 24.04 is here. (Techzine)
The beta version was delayed by a week due to the near-catastrophe with the xz hack, while the team at Canonical (makers of Ubuntu) rebuilt every single package to ensure that no trace of the hack was left.
I had expected the release of the live version to be likewise delayed, but it has shipped on time.
While I wouldn't install it on a production server just yet, the 22.04 release was remarkably trouble free. And I do have a couple of Beelink mini-PCs waiting to be set up.
(Ubuntu releases twice a year, and the even-number year April releases are LTS - guaranteed free support for five years with paid support for another five beyond that.)
- IBM is buying Hashicorp for $6.4 billion. (Tech Crunch)
Hashicorp does... Stuff. I dunno. Docket strangulation, something like that.
- Stellar Blade is here and the perpetually outraged classes have a new game to be perpetually outraged about. (WCCFTech)
In this case, they're mostly outraged that the game represents impossible standards of feminine beauty, a claim somewhat weakened by the fact that the in-game character looks almost exactly like the motion-capture actress who worked with the animation team.
WCCFTech, which is not a game review site, gives it 9 out of 10.
The actual game review sites hate it because they're all run by the perpetually outraged classes.
- The man who destroyed Google. (Where's Your Ed)
The man running Google Search for the past five years - replacing the man who built Google Search for the previous 20 - was previously head of search at Yahoo.
Which was such a success that they had to replace it with Bing.Raghavan's story is unique, insofar as the damage he's managed to inflict (or, if we're being exceptionally charitable, failed to avoid in the case of Yahoo) on two industry-defining companies, and the fact that he did it without being a CEO or founder. Perhaps more remarkable, he's achieved this while maintaining a certain degree of anonymity. Everyone knows who Musk and Zuckerberg are, but Raghavan's known only in his corner of the Internet. Or at least he was.
Did Google Search fall or was it pushed?
A little of both, it seems.
Disclaimer: Or rather, a whole lot of both.

I will play. No you don't have to trash it but you need to consider your security risk footprint. If the bulk of your use is limited to checking email a few times a week and watching cat videos on YouTube, you probably don't have much to worry about. On the other hand, if you are on your phone everyday and do everything on your phone such as managing your finances, booking medical appointments, or have credit cards stored on it, well that's a whole different story. Another thought is 5 years is a pretty good run with a cell phone and it just might be time for a new device. The good news is mid-tier priced cell phones, say around $500, are pretty solid options so there is a path to getting a new device and not having to spend $1,000.

5 years ago, when my wife fell out of a chair and had spinal issues, she was in hospital until released. I then cared for her at home. Until she got so bad she was put back in hospital. She was close to death when she went back in.

I'll also weigh in: I have found that when phones legit go obsolete, all those high-security apps will simply stop working due to your phone not being updateable. I recently had to get a new phone as my work schedule app, which I have to have to, you know, work, stopped working entirely. What will happen is your phone tries to update, can't, then bricks apps with security updates. I have an ancient Samsung I use for 'a phone' as the call quality is terrific, and it does YouTube and such on a web browser but none of the apps work anymore. It won't even let me use my Google account on it.

But this thing of sanctioning a single unit of a cohesive, national army just confuses me no end. Does it sanction individuals within the unit? Everyone who has ever cycled through it? When and where do the sanctions apply, at what point in time? It makes absolutely NO sense from any standpoint. None.

Quote I ‘It really is appalling behaviour. I am at a loss. Both of you talk about it as if it was a beloved family pet. What an example you are showing to your children about what love is.’Judge Roy BeanJudge Christine Laing KC
Quote II “That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia — an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews,” Mike Rowe
STEP TO IT The 5 reasons wearing heels is GOOD for you and 4 fashion mistakes harming your health
A podiatrist shares how heels could benefit your health - and harm it
A while ago, following this display of progressive parenting, I wrote, And yes, the family does live in Brooklyn. And no, they don’t share a surname. And yes, the adults have availed themselves of professional counselling services.
A quip that resulted in some rumblings on the topic of marriage and shared surnames, or the lack thereof. In the comments, Steve E noted, [Not sharing a surname] creates complications for the most mundane of things, too. Pick up a pizza, whose name is it in? Loyalty account at retail store, whose name is it in? My wife kept her own surname because – feminism, the patriarchy, etc. – she now says if she’d known what a pain-in-the-ass it would be, she wouldn’t have done it. When she signs up for things now, she gives my surname.
And Ray added, If father tries to board an airplane with a nine-year-old girl who doesn’t share his surname, the airline will hit the big red panic button.
As I said at the time, I don’t have strong feelings on the subject, but it occurs to me that not taking your husband’s surname, ostensibly as some Assertion Of Progress And Enlightenment – while retaining what is presumably your father’s surname – does create complications. For instance, having different surnames can confuse people as to whether you’re married or not, and if so, to whom. And any children with hyphenated surnames – a fashionable statement of the aforementioned Progress And Enlightenment – will then face the issue of what to do when they get married, especially if it’s to someone whose own name is also modishly hyphenated. Do they ditch some of the accumulated names – and if so, which ones? Or do they go for multiply hyphenated surnames, which would very quickly become a bit much? Say, if Derek Williams and Sarah Anderson get married but retain their own surnames, and their children’s surnames are hyphenated as Anderson-Williams, they may enjoy a sheen of modernity, and perhaps connotations of aristocracy and status. But what happens when little Annie Anderson-Williams grows up and wants to marry James Houghton-Clompington? Do we get a brood of Anderson-Williams-Houghton-Clompingtons? I’m exaggerating for comic effect, of course. But only slightly. As a new, supposedly more equitable tradition – at least outside of the Spanish-speaking world – it seems scarcely less prone to complication and trade-offs. When hyphenated offspring come to name their own children – and if they follow the same rules as their hyphenated parents – the whole thing rapidly becomes unworkable, and, at risk of causing offence, names will have to be cut. Lest each child sound like a law firm. Though I suppose one could take it as a kind of unintended symbolism, a measure of modern progressivism. In that, the problem it allegedly addresses doesn’t seem to be much of a problem for most of those it supposedly oppresses, and the solution offered is somewhat short-sighted and soon results in something close to absurdity. In the original thread, pst314 added, I have heard of some writers, and others in careers where name recognition matters, keeping their names when they marry. But that’s a special case.
Also, among gay couples. Though gay couples tend not to result in children, thereby sidestepping the issue of escalating hyphenation and a society-wide overhaul of stationery, due to the need to enlarge the ‘print name’ and ‘signature’ boxes on every official form.
A battery someone tossed in the trash caused an emergency in an Olathe neighborhood last week. City leaders said someone tossed a lithium battery into the trash. A trash truck unknowingly started hauling it to the landfill. On the way the lithium battery caught fire and started burning the rest of the trash in the truck. The driver quickly stopped the truck and dumped the burning load on the pavement to prevent extensive damage to the equipment according to the city. Firefighters then extinguished the fire.

During covid I had to wear a mask at the liquor store so I bought a mixed case of the 8-12 dollar bottles. I have half of it left and I don't drink myself.
He liked to drink, and explained to me that you could drink for the experience, for the adventure or to get drunk. He mostly wanted to take the edge off I think. He used to drink scotch, and he told me when he was a young man the favored liquor was the one with "finger grooves in the side so you could keep hold of it as you slid off the barstool to the floor." He wound up drinking stuff like well-quality amaretto and midori in the home.
He warned me my whole life drinking was a problem for the family and he hoped I didn't have that issue.

also, with luck the ring is in the P trap under the sink. It is the sort of thing you can check if you feel you want to.
Otherwise, put the plug in the drain and turn the water off under the sink so more water won't go down and maybe flush it down

I only read the quoted portion but I suppose if we're going to get retarded about the subject we can always adopt the Mexican way. So a woman gets married her married name can be, say, Jones de Smith. And if they had a daughter it would be Smith Jones, at least until *she* got married in which case it would be Smith de *inserthusbandosnamehere*.

Hie yourself to Amazon and buy a pickup claw tool. They are cheap, and should fit down any opening large enough to pass a finger ring. Odds are good it is in the P-trap. In fact, many sink and basin P-traps are retained by hand-tightened locking rings, and can be removed without resorting to tools. Try that first, and get the claw if you cannot open the P-trap.

In Spanish the usual way is the father's name first, then the mothers. This gets messy if the fathers surname is multijointed (Jesus Huerta de Soto Ballester for example) but it is one of those things that is understood through convention. The posers that insist on multiple names beyond that are understood to be posers. The added benefit is that Spanish naming conventions usually mean there is no middle name because it is unneeded, unless of course one's family is in the peerage or nobility, and is required to show off one's august family history, or of course one is aping the nobility.
In Germany multiple middle names are common, and each additional name beyond (I think) two are charged extra on governmental forms.

Usually the wife takes the husband's surname, as "de surname" though that is flexible and I think it is changing
Cristina Fernández married Néstor Kirchner, and now goes by Cristina Fernándes de Kirchner, though is often called Cristina Kirchner because of her ties to the Kirchner family, though some women will just take the husband's last name

That album has one of those fun covers. The album cover has a window which shows the album sleeve, a picture of a, I guess, hacienda with Jackson Browne in a chair. When you pull the sleeve with the record out, the same picture is underneath the sleeve and visible through the window. The only difference is there is no Jackson Browne in the picture under the sleeve because . . . you're holding Jackson Browne (the album) in your hands.
Kids today have no idea how fun album covers were, and not just the double albums for cleaning seeds.

“That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia — an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews,” Mike Rowe
---------
The Columbia President and almost all other college presidents, along with professors and staff, are terrified of angering their woke student bodies and wealthy Woke alumni. They know angering those groups and/or the Woke Faculty Senate will get them run out of campus on a rail faster than you can say 'Joe is a liar'. If fired by the Woke they also know their future job opportunities at the same levels will be few if any. Better to side with the evil ones if they value their jobs. And they desperately value their top-of-the-hill jobs in the academic world.
The inmates completely run the higher education (Ha!) asylums.

With dad's family, that actually worked - ended up with an English-sounding name that's easy to pronounce (although people still will look at the name, and give it odd pronunciations that are puzzling). With mom's family, not so lucky - the best that could be done is, well, bizarre. (In fact, the family doesn't even agree on how to spell it.)
When my wife-to-be and I went to fill out the forms for our marriage license, the clerk took a look at my entry under "Mother's Maiden Name," got really wide eyes, and said with deep seriousness, "Whatever you do, don't name any of your children after your Mama."
Yeah, it's that bad. (And it would not be an improvement to have stuck with the Swabian-Deutsch original, either.) And no, none of our kids got saddled with that moniker.

I have a couple that are real head-scratchers. One item discovered while looking for other things though is there is a unused 20A line running from the breaker box to my crawlspace.
The end within the breaker box is labeled 'Spare/crawlspace' and not connected to a breaker. In the crawl space, there is about 50 ft of coiled conductor, not terminated to a device with a paper tag that says 'Spare/crawlspace'.
What kind of man labels things for another, unknown homeowner's future benefit?

Posted by: nurse ratched
She came home tonight. In quite a bit of pain. The hard part is the next 7 to 10 days. She's supposed to stay in bed with as little activity as possible. When the pain subsides I'm not sure how well that will work. I've got a feeling she may get more nurse than mom from my daughter. She was really thrilled and glad about all the people praying for her.

Good weather, hayman did two more crops that year,
Next summer I'm up for more hay, Pop dangles this watch and
asks if I know about it. It's my Seiko.
During the winter one of hayman's clients, a farmer, cracks open a bale and finds this watch which he took back to hayman who asked around.
That watch laid out in the field all summer, tractors, planting, shredding, people loading, other cuttings, rain, heat and there it was, running, ticking, on time. Still have it in a box.

a night on the town in heels can come with exercise included...his not only includes your calf muscles, but your hamstrings and glutes might also work harder when you slip on heeled shoes.
This may include shorter stride lengths and increased cadence, which could potentially result in reduced energy expenditure during walking.
So which is it? Is it more efficient or better exercise? I don't see this as an AND proposition...

Piper I am glad that you found your ring, I never found my engagement diamond, one day I looked at my finger and the ring setting was there but the diamond was gone, it wasn't close to a carat in weight, hubs called it the chip off the old rock. One of our kids probably found it on the floor and ate it.
COMM, I didn't know that the Watch City was your hometown. I lived there for a year and I really liked it there.

Wife worried about it, because she tended to bang her rings and lose stones, so I got her a band with a ring of diamonds set into the ring. AFAIK, she only banged one off once, and it was found and repaired.

Gradually recovering from Apr 2 surgery. Before the main cutting began, a urologist put stents on my kidneys to protect them. I woke up to (among other things) a catheter. New experience for me. Three weeks later, I go in to the urologist's office to have the stents removed. Of course it's two young gals doing the job; I'm too old to care. First they have to take out the catheter. The main doc says, why'd they leave it in so long? Grrr. I'm just the patient, nobody tells me anything. A relief to have that removed, anyway. Then they pull out the stents. Cringeworthy, boys, but surprisingly not really painful. I'm not sure how that all worked, but one less thing dragging me down. Miracles of modern medicine. 🙄
Just had to share. Next time I'll tell y'all about the progress on my two wound-vac sites and the joys of the iliostomy.
Sympathy and prayers for all the wounded and ailing Morons & adjacents.
Sleep well. I plan to.

Most of my ancestors on that side were dirt poor, so couldn't afford the "Calderon y Bravo" kind of add-ons to their names. I think it was mainly for the rich and those with "noble" blood. I have a few way, way back that DID do that. Even more, I saw some cases where in the records, the girls had the last name of their mom, the boys of their dad.

I use Edge and have zero problems here at AOS. In fact, I find it to be a very solid browser provided you turn off all the bloat they've added into it over the last few years. It's a bit of work to get it configured but once you do it just works. The cross device syncing is bulletproof anymore (in the early days that was not the case). I have spent a lot of time with Brave and found it to be a great alternative. The reason I don't use it is the PDF formatting when printing to file is not as good as Edge nor as convenient and Edge's Cross browser platform data swapping is just too handy to to give up.

Piper, there is a J or U shaped trap under your sink. Likely white pipes that look like the letter J or U. It's called the trap - gaseous reasons for that name. Your ring is very likely therein. Put a bucket under the pipes and use channel locks or hands to unscrew the connections and take the pipes apart. Your ring will be in the U portion of the pipes.

And learned why she kind of faded away: the combination of hot and nice, girl-next-door persona earned her the dubious title of 'Most Stalked Woman In Hollywood'. She had dozens of restraining orders, and those were just the weirdos she knew about. She got married to a guy with two daughters, and she was terrified for them.
She eased off the screen because it had flatly become so unsafe it was no longer tenable. With that level of insanity, stalking on that scale, it's not workable: it's the old adage, "You have to win every time; they only have to win once."
She ended her career out of totally valid concerns for her life and the lives of her family.

Only fair, but if the dwarf from the Safety Dance video doesn't work out, we could toss him in as an extra bit of compensation. Remember, we want you to emerge on cue, long plesiosaur-like neck raised, then slowly tilt your head down, all pensive with the glorious and sad history of the Highland clans. We'll need you again for the bridge and the reprise, and if you're agile enough with those fins, we'll see if wardrobe can't find enough tartan to turn you out in good Inverness plaid for the final dance number. You could keep the sporran and the tam. Just have your people appear suddenly and unexpectedly from the depths and call my people, and we'll work out the details. Stardom beckons - today a drab heather-drenched brae, tomorrow, the Orkneys, then the big time .... GLASGOW!

A few actresses have done the married a really rich guy and dropped the Hollywood madness. Daniela Biachi (A Bond girl, From Russia with Love) kind of did that. She did a few movies, mostly in Italy, then married a billionaire and quit acting. It worked out for her nicely.

She didn't want to be an actress. She wanted to be a ballerina but grew into a voluptuous Italian gal and that ended. Didn't speak English very well so Hollywood dreams were out. Plus, again, she wasn't that interested in acting. Her IMdB page is a short read but interesting. Came from wealth. Drove the director of 'From Russia with Love' mad because she ignored his verbal abuse and laughed at him. Sat around, ate chocolate, read books on the set. Most everybody else on set loved her. She was VERY Italian.

And Romeo13, your point is well-taken. Remember that in my oxygen-starved dying ramble above, I abandoned the idea of destroying disco and the Love Boat, because people had to learn. The lesson was what Disco became and why it must never be allowed to go that far again. As for the Love Boat, it indirectly informed a naive public about STDs and the danger of letting the guy from the Mary Tyler Moore Show wear a captain's hat and host a romantic anthology show.

UK approves law to deport illegal migrants to Rwanda
After weeks of debate, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has pushed through Parliament a law to deport migrants to Rwanda. The implication is that asylum seekers who enter the UK illegally will be automatically - regardless of their origin - deported to the East African country.
At the same time, the British government also expects to ban the ability to challenge a deportation decision in the courts. The bill, which was approved by the upper house of the British Parliament, officially recognizes Rwanda as a safe country.
Now migrants who have entered the UK illegally will be deported to Rwanda and seek asylum there.

Man am I enjoying that whole click the number to refresh thing we discovered this morning.
Day started good.
Then got word that a co-worker's wife died in a head on collision on her way to work. Wrong way driver on the freeway.
Then found out she was the sister of 2 other employees.
Then a co-worker comes to me with pictures of his kids leg cast removal (18 month old, trampoline, need I say more?). The stupid bitch, I mean Doctor burned his legs up the entire cut on both sides with the saw getting hot. I almost puked.
I told him to get a lawyer before he ever talks to anyone or signs anything. He said the hospital wanted to talk to him after work. I said call them and reschedule for when you get a lawyer.

Long term capital gains encompasses selling your house after you retire and you want to move to Florida. A 44% tax on that is gonna destroy the housing market.
Granted right now you don't pay capital gains on the first $250,000/$500,000 when you sell your primary residence but I am fairly certain that exemption will disappear when this new tax law comes into effect.

One of the key tactics in their color revolutions is co-opting the media. They've been using leaks to favored media for years to build narratives botth in tarrget countries and here at home. What if they thought it would be more effective to have one of their own people running a media outlet.

They've been like that for decades even with coaching changes. They go for the perfect single shot instead of shooting as often as possible aiming for deflections, lucky shot, or rebounds setting up a better shot. It's one of the reasons I abandoned them back in 2013 or whenever they first blew a multigoal lead in Game 7 to the Bruins.

The most serious confrontations between police and protesters did not feature idealistic, earnest 19- and 20-year-olds, but rather 40- and 50-something faculty members who acted like a bunch of spoiled brats. "The faculty were -- from what I personally observed, and spoke to lieutenants and captains out there -- the most aggressive towards the police," NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry told Fox 5. "They would not move, they would not let go." Reliving the glories of their youth, no doubt. That and showing off for the kids, trying to be role models, and setting an example of lawbreaking. "I think parents have an expectation that when they send their kids to college the faculty and their professors will be teaching and not protesting," said Tarik Sheppard, NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information. "It was shocking to see the faculty out there."And this from Robert Spencer:
The New York Post on Thursday published video of a man wearing a kippah and with an Israeli flag draped over his shoulders passing by a crowd of protesters at Columbia. One young man shouted at him, "Keep it moving, you Zionist pig!" A few moments later, the man with the Israeli flag, responding to something that was said to him, asks, "Hamas is okay?" To that, a woman with a keffiyeh over her head and covering her mouth bangs on a metal crowd-control barrier and shouts furiously, "We are Hamas!" Another supporter of Israel asks her, "You're what? You're Hamas?" as she keeps banging on the barrier. She responds while continuing to bang on the barrier, "Yes, we're all Hamas, pig!" Another protester adds, "Long live Hamas!"

Democrats love equity, because it means choosing which rules apply to which people. For years, the Democrats have celebrated protesters harassing conservatives, using bullhorns outside conservative homes at all hours of the night. They encourage people to drive Republicans out of the public square. They piously proclaim that free speech means you can harass any Republican in any manner you like. Remember those protesters outside Amy Comey Barrett's and Brett Kavanaugh's houses? No biggie. But do the same to Chuck Schumer? You get arrested. He is the good guy, and he deserves peace and quiet.
You can protest at @tedcruz’s house, no problem.

Enter a key player in the House January 6 investigation. That's the committee put together by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi that consisted of only Democrats and their fellow travelers, Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Cheney was a co-chair with Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and the two of them were thick as thieves. They both took the mission of "get Trump" very seriously. Cheney thought she might parlay the exercise into a presidential run. Dream on, Liz. New legislation was put forward on Friday by Thompson. He claims he wants to make sure that Trump doesn't get special treatment if he is convicted and sentenced. He wants to address the question of Secret Service protection ahead of time so a procedure will be in place. Thompson is the ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee.Meanwhile, Trump announced he supports Mike Johnson. From Newsmax:Thompson wants to be able to send a message that Trump is on his own. Look at the name of the bill - Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act -- or the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act. DISGRACED. Unbelievable.
"It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality," the Mississippi lawmaker said. "Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment -- and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them."
Speaking with radio host John Fredericks on Monday, after spending the day in a Manhattan courtroom, Trump said "I stand with the speaker." ... "Well, look, we have a majority of one, OK?" Trump told Fredericks, referring to the GOP majority in the House.Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell argues that $61 billion for Ukraine isn't really a lot of money.
Advertisement "It's not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do. I think he's a very good person. You know, he stood very strongly with me on NATO when I said NATO has to pay up ... I think he's trying very hard."
"So put in that context, it's not a whole lot of money for us, but it's a very significant step for them because it gives them the more sophisticated weapons they need to hold the Russians at bay," McConnell said on Fox News's America's Newsroom. McConnell added in the Wednesday interview that by providing this financial aid, the U.S. is helping Ukraine without putting any of its personnel at risk. He also said the aid would degrade the military of Russia, which he called one of the U.S.'s biggest opponents.
The FBI has finally gotten around to serving subpoenas on the corrupt gangster hoe "super mayor" of Dolton, Illinois.
The FBI on Friday served subpoenas in the Chicago suburb where controversial Mayor Tiffany Henyard has faced accusations of corruption, Fox 32 Chicago reports. Henyard, the self-described "supermayor" of Dolton, and Thornton Township Supervisor, has recently been dubbed the "worst mayor in America" by critics after being accused of misdeeds ranging from weaponizing police raids to spending taxpayer money on luxuries in Las Vegas. Most recently, the scandal-ridden mayor has also come under fire for an alleged sexual assault by one of her allies during the Vegas trip, where the alleged victim claims to have been fired after speaking out. On Friday, four agents from the FBI paid a visit to Dolton Village Hall at around 2:30 p.m. where they served two federal subpoenas, according to Fox 32.Sydney Sweeney is feeling her oats.
The FBI is reportedly probing misconduct allegations regarding Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard after a local business owner claimed his business was punished for refusing to donate to her event. The first one was for employment records, personnel files, and disciplinary reports for 25 Dolton employees, including three police officers and Keith Freeman, who is the village administrator and Henyard's top aide. Freeman was charged with bankruptcy fraud on Monday. The second subpoena was served specifically for Freeman, asking for records of all companies associated with him and possible ties to the village. "The House of Cards are collapsing," Burt Odelson, who serves as the Legislative Counsel for the Village of Dolton Board of Trustees., tells Fox 32. "I think the government is taking action." The FBI did not provide any more information pertaining to the subpoenas and Henyard herself was not served. In February, it was reported that the FBI was investigating the mayor, as six individuals had reportedly spoken to the agency about her alleged misconduct, including "business owners, a former village employee and one or more public officials."
Sweeney posted a carousel of images to Instagram showcasing her trip to Mexico, and she sent a clear message to her haters in one of them. The star was featured wearing a sweatshirt that read, "Sorry I have great tits," in a very 'sorry, not sorry' moment. The shirt's unique message can directly or indirectly be seen as a clap-back at Hollywood producer Carol Baum, who slammed Sweeney days prior, saying, "she's not pretty. She can't act," according to Daily Mail.

The Arbitration Court of St Petersburg and the Leningrad Region’s ruling was dated April 22.
The court said it had ordered the seizure of all funds in JP Morgan bank accounts in Russia, including correspondent accounts and those opened in the name of a subsidiary.
Vox Day: "Neither Russia nor China care in the least what U.S. law prohibits anymore. The international system ended the moment sanctions were applied to Russia after the beginning of the special military operation and nothing is going to bring it back.
"Pax Americana is over. Plan accordingly."

NOT MAKING HEADLINES: Stormy Daniels Owes Trump $300,000 Plus Interest for Making FALSE CLAIMS Against Him
For some reason the lapdog media is not reporting today that Stormy Daniels owes President Trump $300,000 for making false claims against him.
In March 2022, the 9th Circuit Court issued a final ruling in the case brought against Trump by disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti and Stormy.
The court ruled that Stormy Daniels owed President Trump $300,000 in legal fees for filing a frivolous lawsuit against the US President.
The media is ignoring this important development as they continue to lie by omission to the American public.
====
Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson Apr 22
So:
Trump supposedly engaged in a "conspiracy" to win election.
But he's NOT charged for the $130,000 Cohen paid Daniels in 2016.
He's charged for misclassifying the repayments he made to Cohen in 2017 - by which time he'd ALREADY won.
Could this case be a bigger joke?

BREAKING: Judge in the Arizona rancher case where 75-year-old George Alan Kelly was accused of shooting an illegal on his property, has declared a mistrial.
Kelly was initially charged with second-degree murder.
The announcement from the judge came after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
Kelly was accused of shooting and killing Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea on his land, who entered into the country illegally multiple times, in January 2023.
“Long story short, this is simply not somebody who's looking for the American dream. There's no evidence that this person is here for those kinds of benign purposes,” Kelly's defense attorney said during closing arguments.
“And we bring that up, not, you know, to be judgmental about Gabriel or to not have compassion for him. But when people are involved in a criminal lifestyle, it's dangerous. It's more inherently dangerous than simply being a migrant who's coming here. So it's relevant for that reason.”

BREAKING: Judge in the Arizona rancher case where 75-year-old George Alan Kelly was accused of shooting an illegal on his property, has declared a mistrial.
Kelly was initially charged with second-degree murder.
The announcement from the judge came after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
Kelly was accused of shooting and killing Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea on his land, who entered into the country illegally multiple times, in January 2023.
“Long story short, this is simply not somebody who's looking for the American dream. There's no evidence that this person is here for those kinds of benign purposes,” Kelly's defense attorney said during closing arguments.
“And we bring that up, not, you know, to be judgmental about Gabriel or to not have compassion for him. But when people are involved in a criminal lifestyle, it's dangerous. It's more inherently dangerous than simply being a migrant who's coming here. So it's relevant for that reason.”

"I am sure many of you have seen or read about the numerous protests on college and university campuses, where Jewish students are being targeted and attacked physically and verbally, preventing them from pursuing their studies and activities outside of class, just because they are Jewish or support Israel...
Due to the current climate on many campuses around the world, we are now expanding the opportunity for students to seek the learning environment of our campus by extending the transfer application deadline to May 31.
Students elsewhere should know we welcome all — Jews and students from every background — who seek an excellent undergraduate education and an environment striving to be free of harassment and Jew-hatred to apply."

Well, Bragg actually named the crime, federal election tampering, which is nonsense.
The other mind bending aspect to the original charge is that the date the entries were made was in 2017, after the election, so it ipso facto, couldn't have been done to hide an underlying crime.
Listen, this is all bullshit, every bit of it, but they're moving full speed ahead, without a care in the world.

That's because they are Hamas.
Op-ed on yesterday's WSJ "Who's Behind the Anti-Israel Protests by Steven Stalinsky, Exec Dir of MEMRI says it is ME terrorists organizing these protests. Terrorists.
Every Senior Hamas leader has acknowledged the importance of the protests and said that influencing U.S. and Western policy is a part of the organization's strategy for destroying Israel. Khaled Mashal, the Hamas leader abroad, on October 10th, urged supporters to protest "in the cities everywhere." On Oct 31, he said that the organization's friends "on the global left"were responding to the appeal. . .

Kelly was initially charged with second-degree murder.
The announcement from the judge came after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
“Long story short, this is simply not somebody who's looking for the American dream. There's no evidence that this person is here for those kinds of benign purposes,” Kelly's defense attorney said during closing arguments.
“And we bring that up, not, you know, to be judgmental about Gabriel or to not have compassion for him. But when people are involved in a criminal lifestyle, it's dangerous. It's more inherently dangerous than simply being a migrant who's coming here. So it's relevant for that reason.”

The Alec Baldwin Harassment Incident Just Got Weirder
As you know, a very annoying woman harassed Alec Baldwin, demanding that he say "Free Palestine." When he didn't, she started calling him a killer, which is true enough but she's very, very annoying.
He ultimately slapped the phone out of her hand. Actually, it looks like a full assault. That's not going to help his defense in the negligent homicide trial for killing a woman."Say free Palestine, Alec, just one time!"

She posted the clip, calling Alec Baldwin a "white devil." Which, to be fair, is a true statement, but it's also a little racist.

In the 1920s there was no mass following. Applications for Nazi Party membership were frozen for the first several months after the Coordination because the party chancery was overwhelmed. Party membership had built over the years, of course, but after Hitler became chancellor millions of Germans sought to join up.

Journ-O-List 2.0: Fake Reporters "Covering" the Trump Trials Get Together on Weekly Zoom Calls to Coordinate Their Biased Stories
Byron York points out that the gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Trump trials, by CNN and MSNBC, are mostly filled with "talk" from commentators, as there's not nearly enough news per hour to fill the time.
Would you be surprised to hear that all of this talk pushes Soros DA's theories of made-up law?Related: Believe all womens.
As far as the TV talk is concerned, we might be heading into another "collusion" cycle, referring to the time in 2017-2018 in which some of these same news organizations devoted thousands of hours to discussing allegations that Trump conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election.... If you're following the trial, you might notice that a lot of the commentary sounds alike. Many of the people who talked their way through the collusion cycle have jumped on to the false bookkeeping "election interference" train and tend to say the same things that their colleagues are saying. There's a reason for some of that uniformity. On Tuesday, Politico published a story revealing the existence of a weekly Zoom call that includes "some of the country's most well-known legal and political commentators." The call is "an exclusive weekly digital salon," Politico's Ankush Khardori wrote, "whose existence has not been previously reported, for prominent legal analysts and progressive and conservative anti-Trump lawyers and pundits. Every Friday, they meet on Zoom to hash out the latest twists and turns in the Trump legal saga -- and intellectually stress-test the arguments facing Trump on his journey through the American legal system." The key phrase is "anti-Trump." When group members stress-test arguments, they're trying to find the arguments that will be most effective in bringing down Trump. That's what it is about. The group includes names you will recognize if you watch CNN or MSNBC a lot: Andrew Weissmann, George Conway, Bill Kristol, Norm Eisen, Laurence Tribe, Barbara McQuade, Joyce White Vance, Jennifer Rubin, Mary McCord, Harry Litman, Elliot Williams, Asha Rangappa, Norm Ornstein, Renato Mariotti, Shan Wu, Ryan Goodman, Karen Agnifilo, Jeffrey Toobin, and more. ...
And so on. Khardori, a former federal prosecutor, called the group "the perfect emblem of today's Trump-media-legal-industrial complex." The long effort to topple Trump has become a career for some. "For them, this is a unique opportunity to ... obtain a level of public recognition and stature that few lawyers can ever attain," Khardori wrote. "The people on this call ... are essential cogs in that system, helping to generate and shape content for Trump-hungry consumers." In other words, the call is a strategic tool that can help participants bring down Trump and get famous, too. Win-win! But it's not something participants want to talk about. Indeed, Khardori said he reached out for comment to everyone whose name was mentioned in the story, and "none spoke on the record." Some apparently talked to Khardori off the record, but they had to remain anonymous because they had promised the group to keep the Zoom sessions a secret.

Two things:
1. Never reported on, but always assumed to exist. It's been obvious. Everything in the Press is the same and this is always how it works.
2. The mental midgets in America's propaganda complex are incapable of "intellectually stress-testing" anything.

To be fair, if they don't understand it, then surely the people wouldn't understand it. Best to just not include silly details like "this isn't actually a crime."
Including that information would just lead to asking questions. That's not what smart people do. Smart people just do what they're told.

A large area with private dressing rooms for the women, but a common area for the men to hang out. If the women felt comfortable modeling the clothes, they'd come out and strut about. An associate was always present.

Judge Cannon is on an unsealing binge.
Unsealed records detail allegations that Jay Bratt, Jack Smith's lead prosecutor in classified docs case, threatened Stanley Woodward--atty for Walt Nauta--with sinking a judicial nomination if he didn't get his client to flip on Trump.
This is how DOJ described the August 24, 2022 meeting with Woodward--about 2 weeks after FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago.
Nauta is one of Trump's closest personal aides.
Bratt/Jack Smith referred the matter to DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility (LOL). I'm sure a diligent investigation is underway 🙄
Date here must be incorrect--June 2023 not 2022.

Obama, Susan Rice, and Valerie Jarret gin up the talking points for the day. They transmit this thru Perkins Coie law firm. That is the cutout.
Perkins Coie transmits the info to the usual suspects. MSNBC, CNN, NYT, etc at about 4 am. Spoon feeds the days stories.
All you have to do is put up separate screens to watch them all day, as I do. The terms, the jargon, the order of word, is all identical.
If you have been following at all, you know this has been happening for about 4 years.

Released Emails Show Biden's White House Conspiring With Bureaucrats to Force the Documents Issue
Just the News:Just weeks after learning Joe Biden had improperly retained government documents, his administration began working with federal bureaucrats in spring and fall 2021 to increase pressure on Donald Trump for similar issues and eventually prompt a criminal prosecution of the 45th president, according to government memos newly unsealed by a federal judge. The correspondence, released this week by U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon in Florida, provide the the most extensive accounting so far of how the Biden White House worked with federal bureaucrats to escalate pressure on Trump to return documents to the National Archives even as it slow-walked similar issues involving its own boss. One email dated May 5, 2021, shows the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) had already consulted the Biden White House about missing Trump records, more than a year before the public would learn that the former president president had kept some classified memos. "I have had several conversations with [Person 40] since the end of the Trump Administration about various paper records that he believes were not transferred to us," NARA General Counsel Gary Stern wrote to his colleagues in one May email. "Person 40" was not identified by name in the document but was listed as working for the Biden White House in the Records Management Office, according to a motion filed by Trump's lawyers in the case, which was previously redacted.Hey guys, this all looks shady, but remember, they're Saving Democracy by weaponizing the government's intelligence and "law" enforcement arms against political opponents.
On August 30, 2021, NARA Archivist David Ferriero began to press Trump records representatives more explicitly about the documents, vowing to make referrals to "the Hill, DOJ, and the White House" if the documents had been destroyed or where not turned over soon. "As you have seen in the press, the House has requested records," Ferriero writes in one email chain. "Our ability to respond requires access to the 24 boxes which have yet to be accounted for. At this point, I am assuming that they have been destroyed. In which case, I am obligated to report it to the Hill, DOJ, and the White House."
By September 2021, Stern had decided to draft a criminal referral against Trump to the Justice Department after documents were still not returned, according to an FBI interview summary with a NARA employee, identified as "Person 53" in the court documents. "Stern approached [Per. 53] to formally draft a letter to DOJ raising concerns about PRA materials from the TRUMP administration which remained unaccounted for by NARA," the FBI memo stated. In his interview with the FBI, Person 53 noted in his "years of experience," he "understood NARA never had to make such a referral to DOJ...to accomplish such an ask." When he circulated the draft letter internally, Stern told colleagues he had been in contact with "DOJ counsel" about the matter and was continuing to communicate with the White House Counsel's Office, showing the Biden administration was in the loop about the efforts to repossess Trump's documents. "In addition, [White House] Counsel is now also aware of the issue, and has asked that I keep them in the loop to the extent that we make any reference to the White House Office of Records Management," Stern wrote in the email.
While NARA and the White House were engaging DOJ on Trump, Biden aides were trying to figure out what to do with memos Biden kept at his University of Pennsylvania Biden Center office in Washington, some which turned out to be classified.

Even when I was there in the 80's on the House side, Biden was known to be a vicious, stupid, lying, and manipulative SOB by his own fellow senators and staff. The only person Biden really loves is himself and you can tell from the rotten fruit of his dysfunctional family that they feel the same about him.

Ferrechio is a solid reporter. This is one of those "thisis old" stories, and I am also disappoint that this is a "may" story. Yeah, that may be why. Sure.
This story has been out there for a while and people as close to it as Kash Patel have been saying yes, this is probably it, and strongly hinting that Trump does have this binder.
The binder is one of those "Trusty Plan" things. If it exists, and Trump has it, why has he not used it? Well, you have to trust the plan.
Though if its a conspiracy theory, that kind of argues for it being true these days....

They haven't stopped spying on Trump.

As much as the proof of how they ginned up the whole collusion scam.
Also, consider the reason for the timing of the current trial, the refusals to delay, the refusals to excuse Trump from attending:
Because they are trying to limit who Trump sees and talks to (as they have an unlimited wiretap from their friends in the SDNY) to try and flush out who is in his real campaign.
Cause the current spying is clearly only on his fake campaign, run just for the FBI spies.

He knew. He spent his last few months in office working to get the information released to the public. The intel community fought him and blocked him. So he took them with him after declassifying the documents.
Nobody seriously believes Trump took nuclear secrets or anything that would hurt the country. Unlike the cabal in DC he actually loves the country, the one we used to have.
I think he still has them and now realizes that the thing keeping him from an unfortunate accident is possession of those docs.

One of the junta's industrial partners will be awarded the rights to sell the only legal refrigerant.
There is no reason to replace R410A, and there was no reason to replace R22 (which ushered in R410A). And with forcing out R410A, they will surely not be replacing it with generic, easily produced and easily obtained R32, which is used throughout the world.
No, of course not. It will probably go to R454B, which is moderately environmentally "better" than R32 (lower "Global Warming Potential" score - no joke, that's what it's called), much more expensive, and mildly flammable. And has relatively few manufacturers and is harder to get. But Honeywell will happily sell you some, just like with R410A.

NY Judge: The Second Amendment Doesn't Exist Here. ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.'
Judge Abena Darkeh, suggesting that the Second Amendment doesn't apply anywhere she doesn't approve? What other rights don't exist in New York under Judge Darkeh's paradigm? Do defendants not have the right to representation? Is free speech non-existent?
You think Trump will get a fair trial in New York?

Because they are trying to limit who Trump sees and talks to (as they have an unlimited wiretap from their friends in the SDNY) to try and flush out who is in his real campaign.
Cause the current spying is clearly only on his fake campaign, run just for the FBI spies.

Because the intel community believes no one reads history and many of them have been maleducated by our colleges, they are in essence blind.
The radio wireless game between the Brits and the Germans and the primarily British deception operations surrounding the Normandy invasion give clear indications how to conduct oneself under pervasive surveillance. Even ole Osama did the same thing which throughly screwed up the intel community attempts to find him for years. Course it helped that Paki intel was keeping him hidden for their own sakes but notice that his Egyptian lieutenant is still running around somewhere directing what is left of their network.

Not quite. As I said Kash said the binder existed, strongly hinted that Trump had it and that it was the target of the FBI raid (as I recall he did not volunteer this but he was asked and he answered it certainly could be). The IC for its part has not said that it produced a binder of its attack on Trump - not that they would - but neither have they acknowledged that they attacked Trump.
I like Kash Patel, I like what he has to say, but he often seems to promise more than what is actually revealed.

Last week, the Treasury had problems selling that week's bonds and law does not prevent the law of supply and demand from working. At first, it will be terms where the market will insist on short term bonds rather than longer term bonds or a much higher yield. Sooner or later, it will essentially be that the Fed has to monetize the debt by taking on the burden from the primary dealers.
Next twelve months requires 10 TRILLION in federal government refinancing of bonds.

It was reported for months by none other than the author of the article that this thread is based on that Kash was the person working to get the binder released but the intel community was fightng him.
Of course the intel community is not confirming they produced a binder contatining all of their corruption. They are evil but not entirely stupid.

For sure, and they will have two choices:
1. Force the primary dealers to buy, and have interest rates shoot the moon, wrecking spending capacity
2. Force the Fed to buy, monetize it directly, keep the interest control, wrecking the currency and spending capacity while also simultaneously destroying the petrodollar/eurodolalr and ending what's left of our ability to sequester inflation in foreign trade flows.
Or they could cut spending, but of course we know that they can't and why they can't. I am sure they'd rather go through Door Number Two, but it remains to be seen whether Powell will let them.

Dancing a line there with the intel community as is Nunes and neither have the legal protections that a former president does on documents and disclosure.
There is also the problem with the reformer mindset. FISA itself needs to be junked as many of the other collection activities of the intel community and law enforcement as they increasingly intertwine with each other.
We would be better off punishing crimes more harshly than doubling down on the information collection. For example, the British security cameras have not lessened crime but given their MI5 and police increased power to surveil the law abiders while doing jack to prevent crimes.

Pretty much. The excess debt regime in the West has lasted longer than I though possible through conventional economic analysis and part of that is due to the difficulty in accounting for international flows and offshore foreign currency reserves being traded about.

Hamas Releases Disgusting Propaganda Video of American Hostage Forced to Read Pro-Hamas Statement -- His Arm Missing Due to Hamas' Attacks on Him
Hamas are savages. Their minds cannot even conceive of civilization, or what a civilized man's thoughts might be.
Proof of that is this video -- which Hamas chose to release, thinking that a literal Hostage Video of a man maimed by their terror attacks will sway opinion in their favor. Can't wait to hear Sandy Cortez explain that this now-maimed man lost his arm due to his own colonizer sins.Hamas has released a propaganda video featuring one of the American hostages it holds. In it, Hersh Goldberg-Polin is seen reading a pre-prepared script blaming Israel for October 7th and everything that has transpired since.
Golberg-Polin was taken captive at the Nova Music festival that Hamas attacked, slaughtering hundreds of people in the process. He can be seen missing his arm in the video, an injury he sustained that day at the hands of the terrorists after they threw grenades into a shelter he was in.
The Hamas psychopaths have published a new propaganda video of hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
— Aviva Klompas (@AvivaKlompas) April 24, 2024
The video shows the 23-year-old Israeli-American saying he has been held captive for "nearly 200 days," indicating it was filmed recently.
Hersh is seen in the video missing one of his… pic.twitter.com/hmyRoGuUbp

I've never seen the point in this. I see the point in a "proof of life" production - "the old picture with today's newspaper" or "put him on the phone" or "take a video of him" - because the hostage is part of the negotiation. The captor wants something, the captive wants to get away, the captive's people might negotiate for his release. It's evil, but it's business and so I get it to that degree.
But these forced statements glorifying the captors have never made sense to me. It's obviously a put-on, and always is. So what's the point? All it does is make you look at least as bad as you did yesterday - especially if you've seriously harmed the hostage. Just produce the "proof of life" item and restate the demand.

I think it's more than that. These goat-fucking Guinea worms want to rub the hostage's noses in it. They want to break them. It doesn't matter if what the hostage's regurgitate is genuine or not. They want to force them to say it. Same principal as in 1984 when the Party needed to break wrongthinkers and force them to publicly lavish praise on the Party before they were dragged off to execution.

"It's unconscionable. It has to be stopped. It has to be condemned and condemned unequivocally," he said. "The response of several university presidents was shameful. Now, fortunately, state, local, federal officials, many of them have responded differently but there has to be more. More has to be done."

To the extent you can reach the masses of the opposition, and to the extent they don't have the stomach for seeing it anymore, it probably has a net advantage. To me it's the same reason we don't tend to show our own casualties in media coverage. Average people can't stand to see what actually happens in war--and I don't mean to speak as if I have, I'm not a vet and certainly not a combat vet.

Some cultures deserve to perish. Aztec society was drowning in a sea of ritual blood-spilling before the first Spaniard ever appeared. Various communist societies have either disappeared or radically modified their modes of governance from the sheer exhaustion of committing class genocide. The Palis seem completely unable to assess history objectively, and teach their children to reach for death as the first and best solution to the perceived problems of life. I see no hope for their reeducation - especially when they are coddled by the west.

Well, there are three options. Let's take a look at them:
1. Convert to islam
2. Remain whatever 'faith' you claim, don't practice it, become a slave.
3. Death by whatever means islam chooses.
And remember if you choose 1. or 2. you better damn sure not dress nicer than a muslim or ride a taller horse, or you will get option 3.

This is right.
I would probably do whatever I have to survive.
Then do what I can to get my own back -- probably go on a lecture circuit -- universities, congressional hearings -- you know, the usual stuff. Maybe a book or two. I think I could make enough for a good living. Give me the time I need to devote my energies to something I am passionate about, like old movies or jazz.
The best revenge is living well.
Start a foundation, maybe. It could become a voice for the under privileged ... I don't know, maybe gender confused kids, or single moms in the ghetto. Maybe I could turn that into a grift where I get tons of money from the government to import immigrants into the country to help effect change. ...

The palis have played this atrocity to the max, and they are clearly winning the post attack, even if they are all killed.
And per comment above, this is not for the other muzzies in the M. E., this is done to terrorize the West. Look at people thinking about what they would do -- that is the goal, to get us thinking and afraid, because many in power will surrender rather than look into the void.

Right after the 2016 election Biden told the president of Ukraine to nationalize PrivatBank, the bank formerly owned by the same oligrach that owned Burisma and was ground zero for money laundering in Ukraine and beyond, before Trump was innagurated.

This relates to the assisted suicide debate -- people want an easy way out, but there is no easy way out and if you try to find one it makes things difficult for our civilization. Same with bullying - kids have to learn that bullies exist and they have to deal with them.

Last I checked, they have been doing such on the down low at least in the North where they have cleared Ham Ass fighters.

I recall reading that Israel was unsure if this particular hostage was alive. So, the Hamas thugs unintentionally did this hostage's parents an enormous favor. They know their son was alive when he was filmed.
Hamas is unlikely to murder a hostage after they've released a video such as this.

Biden Slurs His Way Through a Shpeech About Funding His Paymaters In Ukraine
Update: At Fundraiser, Biden Accidentally Reads Aloud the Scripted Stage Directions
He immediately signed the bill into law, then let his Ukranian masters know that the Biden Brand is all about prompt service.
Joe Biden delivered remarks on Wednesday on Iran and Israel, and the passage of the bill that gives supplemental aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Of course, because it's Joe Biden, most of the comments centered around his priority -- Ukraine. Incredibly, he claims we're "investing in our own industrial base" by giving our stores away to Ukraine because we have to replenish it. We wouldn't have to spend that amount if he didn't give our stores away. Biden claimed they were trying to surge aid now so as not to drag the U.S. into a war in the future if Putin attacked a NATO country. But we are already involved in this war, with a seemingly endless supply of money/weapons going out to Ukraine, with no goal set that would signify the end of our involvement. He noted the bill was also sending aid to Israel. Even with the teleprompter, he had difficulty, slurring and dropping words in what he had to say. He tripped all over himself, trying to talk about the allies who helped against the Iran attack.He is senile:

But nobody else does - not the media, not the elected Republicans, not the deep state and all of its tentacles, not the tech companies who control the voting machines, not the vote "counters". Biden will get an unprecedented amount.
Doesn't matter that he draws only dozens for his rallies, same as last time.

That's on top of how they have a strict embargo on any photos of the teleprompter.
Last one I saw, it was a giant column hiding a screen the size of an old 1980's "big screen" TV.
Because the teleprompter you know is those little plates of glass to the left and right.
The font size now required is so big, single word per line is all that fits.
This is also why he messes up more and more-- there's even a limit to his setup, so anything longer than one sentence gets botched.

I've gone on about this at length. Nobody is in control.
The Party has absolute control of the government, yes, but nobody has absolute control of the Party right now. It's all factional warfare all the way down. Powerful Politburo members have their own power networks, intelligence sources, areas of influence, etc.
It's one of the reasons our policies are increasingly insane. The US takes action against and for Red China, and does so at the same time. Ditto Israel. Etc. Nobody is in charge. It's rule-by-committee and the committee members have their own interests and ambitions.
Like in the USSR, this will end and we'll get consistent policy again once a new Dear Leader with ability to crack skulls in a serious way rises up. We have a Chernenko right now, with similar results. Eventually, we'll get a Khrushchev and things will stabilize. If we're lucky, we'll get a Gorbachev who pushes on the wrong supports and the wheels will come off altogether until the state fails due to the accumulated rot.

China and to some extent Iran and the Norks actually have their economies able to support their own military actions.
Posted by: whig at April 24, 2024 01:43 PM (cViPl)
Yeah, those silly Russians are only able to produce 1 million plus 152mm artillery rounds per year. The reason why they went to the NORKs, because they were firing north of 100K rounds of 152mm on a monthly basis. They traded the NORKs some oil and possibly hypersonic missile tech for artillery rounds. The Ukies can't even counter battery fire anymore, they have winchestered on artillery rounds of various flavors. From reports I've read, the FUSA can produce about 100K 155mm artillery rounds per year. This $65 billion is to keep the Ukie government afloat, and possibly coke-head Zelensky alive, for the time being.

Media coverage is a bit idiotic. Right now, the GOP has 218 members and the Dems are down to 212 after the death. 5 vacancies with three GOP and two Dems empty seats via resignation and death. All three of the GOP vacancies (other than Gallagher who has not resigned yet apparently) are due to be filled by special elections in the next two months or so and most likely holds by the GOP. Ditto for the NY Dem seat that is vacant and the NJ seat but dunno when those special elections will be held which depends on state law.

...a (slight) majority of all Congressional Republicans voted for aid to Ukraine. Most Republican members of Congress took a position on a very important issue against their presidential nominee. That is unusual in American politics. So the GOP is still Trump’s party. But it’s somewhat less so than it was before this week.
Trump hasn’t budged in any fundamental way from the anti-Ukraine, pro-Putin, and anti-NATO stance that he’s embraced for years. So the congressional vote couldn’t help but be a statement of independence from Trump.
If he is to have a chance to win, Trump depends on holding the support of normal Republicans...there’s a different type of undecided voter in play as well...a conflicted and cross-pressured voter.
Call them Nikki Haley voters.
Yesterday in Pennsylvania, 156,000 Republicans voted for Nikki Haley. That’s over 16 percent of the Republicans who voted. That is a lot of Republican voters against Trump.

FWIW and I don't mean this as anything but a discussion point, I think you are over complicating it a little.
The media is too single-voiced to be controlled by any number of factions at war. If major splinter groups were in some huge war, we would know it through vicious battles in media. No one is more vile or power thirsty or open about it than the Left.
As it is 97% of media outlets spew the exact same narrative 24/7. It's too on message for this yuge battle you speak of to be meaningful.

The smartest of them do know, but also know that there's no way out. It *must* keep accelerating, so they're along for the ride.
Nobody is driving this infernal machine. They're all chance riders.
It's like how Citibank's Chuck Prince put it in the lead-up to the financial crisis:
When the music stops, in terms of liquidity, things will be complicated. But as long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance. We’re still dancing.
Chuck Prince knew that the game would only end one way, but he also knew that the game couldn't be changed one either plays or he doesn't. Prince chose to keep playing - that is, "keep dancing" in his parlance - and could do nothing but keep speeding up.
I strongly suspect that there are many more Chuck Princes than there appear to be.

There are some. Most of the stuff the Party does doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. But where there are factional disagreements, you do see it in the press and this happens in the same way it did in the USSR.
They had two papers - Pravda ("Truth," the Party paper) and Izvestia ("News," the State paper). Usually, Pravda and Izvestia agreed. Sometimes, they did not. When they disagreed, you could learn where the conflicts were so long as you read both papers.
It's the same here. We have the WaPo and its orbit (the Party and IC paper) and we have the NYT and its orbit (the State and LE paper). They usually agree. They sometimes don't. Most of the press focuses on neither issues nor disagreements and just disseminates propaganda. What they spread depends on who is charge, but it's rarely in opposition to anyone else's.

Reforms are possible but it will cost the elite about everything they have extracted from the system over the last 70 years or so. So they cannot contemplate losing power in every institution and their financial gains necessary to do it.
The usual path to reform is a strong man via a coup. The alternative path is a bloody civil war or revolution. Both usually end up resetting the clock on a regime but change the underlying rules and incentives for elites for a time.
What people get wrong on the right is that the left in this country seized power in a 2020 coup and have been desperately been trying to consolidate power in a failing system. It was NOT a popular revolution but simply the left seizing power via a vast election cheat in 2020 and its institutions that it controlled along with its uniparty GOP buddies ratifying it.

The left looks at anyone to the right of them as lacking sufficient purity and deserving of death and impoverishment as oppressors. For the left,politics is religious in nature and heretics to their religious tenets must be destroyed so that heaven on earth can be established. Even the 'nice' ones have seething hate underneath it all of any political opposition to their tenets and would kill in a nanosecond if they thought they could get away with it.
That is because the left believes that they are on the side of angels and the correct side of history. It is easier to go back to the politics of the 30 Years War than to use the outmoded left-right model of the French Assembly after the Revolution.

Senate Passes Ukraine Funding Bill
Key Details: The bill received overwhelming Senate approval with a 79-18 vote, backed by majorities from both parties despite some vocal opposition. The package includes $61 billion for Ukraine, $15 billion for Israel, and measures to address Chinese influence, notably involving TikTok. Critics like Senator Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) expressed dissatisfaction, citing concerns over prioritizing foreign borders over American needs. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate passed a significant $95 billion emergency aid bill aimed at bolstering the defense capabilities of Ukraine and Israel, marking a pivotal moment in U.S. foreign policy amid contentious debates. The aid package, designed to address several international and security concerns, passed with a substantial majority, signaling strong bipartisan support despite notable opposition within both parties.... "I think we've turned a corner on the isolationist movement," Senator Mitch McConnell said about the aid bill passage. Joe Biden will give a Shpeech -- he doesn't give speeches any longer, only shpeeches -- at 3:45pm. The Senate also passed a bill mandating the sale of TikTok to non-Chinese-state-security owners.
In a significant move by U.S. lawmakers, Congress has passed a bill that presents the most substantial challenge to TikTok's operations in the United States to date, aiming to address long-standing national security concerns associated with the app's Chinese ownership. The legislation mandates that TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, either sell the app or face a national ban, a decision backed by substantial bipartisan support and reflecting years of mounting scrutiny over the app's data privacy practices. The bill's passage marks a culmination of efforts to legislate against the perceived risks posed by Chinese technology companies, with TikTok in the spotlight due to its massive user base and cultural influence in the U.S. Critics of the app, including key Senate and House leaders, have argued that ByteDance's ownership could allow the Chinese government undue access to the personal data of American citizens, a claim TikTok has repeatedly contested.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev comments on passed US military aid to Ukraine:
“They want to continue the civil war of the separated people of our once united country (…
Considering their Russophobic decision I can't help but wish the USA with all sincerity to dive into a new civil war themselves as quickly as possible.
It will, I hope, be very different from the war between North and South in the 19th century and will be waged using aircraft, tanks, artillery, MLRS, all types of missiles and other weapons. And which will finally lead to the inglorious collapse of the vile evil empire of the 21st century - the United States of America."

The other hot idea that the Deep State has come up with is having NATO troops garrison Western Ukraine, to free up Ukrainian troops for the front.
But these Western troops under no conditions will actually start fighting with the Russians.
Swearsies!

Do you know who Susan Wiles is?
Key top player in the Donald Trump campaign.
Do you know that Susan Wiles works for a lobbying firm called Mercury?
Do you know that Mercury is owned by a large conglomerate called Omnicom, that is a WEF - connected company? They work to spread WEF propaganda and ideas, relentlessly. Omnicom has something like 1500 PR and media companies that they own.
And another funny little factoid. Susan Wiles is the daughter of Pat Summeral, the late football player and CBS Sports commentator.

The "technique" is blackmail. Wander off the reservation and nice gentleman from the IC will show you parts - the tame parts - of your dossier and let you know that there is *much* more where that came from.
And since you are a politician and you're among the worst people on the planet, you will immediately guess the things that might be in the pages you didn't get to see. You know what you've done and so you know just how bad your dossier *could* be, but not how bad it actually is.
But you walk away from the meeting knowing that you - and everyone else - must *never* find out how much they know. So you do as you're told, and serve the Party.

The US and NATO have subbed in 155 mm artillery for all the Soviet era 152 mm artillery that Ukraine's military was outfitted with prior to the war...which you as a former Army guy probably already know.
And we can't make enough 155 shells for them to fire off, and they have depleted our reserve stocks.
And yes, Ukraine is losing this war, despite all the amazing!!! videos on Youtube that indicate otherwise.
It is sad, but the saddest thing is all the Ukrainians getting slaughtered in combat for a lost cause.
Make peace. Try and end this crazy, brutal war, before NATO and the US get sucked into it, and it becomes something far worse. Despite all the blatherings I see on some parts of the Intertubes, the Russian Army is almost as incompetent as the Ukraine army.

Make peace. Try and end this crazy, brutal war, before NATO and the US get sucked into it, and it becomes something far worse. Despite all the blatherings I see on some parts of the Intertubes, the Russian Army is almost as incompetent as the Ukraine army.

Legislation cleared by a key House of Representatives committee has fed concerns that drones produced by Chinese company Da-Jiang Innovations (DJI) will effectively be banned in the US.
The proposed bills approved by the House Energy and Commerce Committee on March 20 represent the latest effort by the federal government and various state governments to restrict the use of DJI drones in the US. There was no dissent on the committee, with all Republicans and Democrats backing the bills, citing national security concerns.

The "technique" is blackmail. Wander off the reservation and nice gentleman from the IC will show you parts - the tame parts - of your dossier and let you know that there is *much* more where that came from.
And since you are a politician and you're among the worst people on the planet, you will immediately guess the things that might be in the pages you didn't get to see. You know what you've done and so you know just how bad your dossier *could* be, but not how bad it actually is.
But you walk away from the meeting knowing that you - and everyone else - must *never* find out how much they know. So you do as you're told, and serve the Party.

Since public polling is about shaping narratives, it's just a sign that the whole, "Replace Biden with someone else," period is over. Democrats aren't going to replace Biden and everyone knows it now. So, it's time to shape the narrative that Biden is going to win in November.
How is polling supposed to reflect the mood of ballot counters in Atlanta who run the same ballots through the counting machines on repeat?

That would explain why they let go of the 17-year-old twins that came to our area. We all were applying American drafting standards by worrying about them, not Ukrainian. It was an American missionary getting things set up, so maybe she was working off of her upbringing or rumors she'd heard. (I'm not sure on her husband's status. He'd be old enough to be drafted, but I know the family had to evacuate the area they'd been living in.)

It isn't just the IC, it's everyone. The system runs on blackmail, hate and fear - and everyone plays. Everyone has something on everyone else, but nobody has everything on anyone. Everyone is kept guessing just enough for the web of coercion to continue operating, and as a result essentially everyone is stuck. There is only one single safe play: be a "team player" and do what the Party's top apparatchiks demand (and, of course, to choose *your* apparatchik wisely).

To be fair, there was some time later They sent some speedboats at night, took some film and sped homeward. They got picked up at night and the convoy got shot up by Russian aircraft. They could have just used a beach in Ukraine for the film crew and lied about it.
The obsessive focus on Crimea by part of the leaders has to be the Brits. Nobody else is dumb enough to think it is vulnerable. The dopey US advisers wanted the "drive to the coast" from the southern lines. Actual Ukrainians wanted to fight in the Donbass.

Still at 100% value with "conservative" voters.
Especially Christian conservatives.
Who still cite, "he said pussy" as a reason not to vote for Trump.
Even after all we've seen the last four years.
And you and I both know it worked in the last few months to break Johnson.

I’m as Christian evangelical as one can get…. And I couldn’t care less about Trumps famous pussy utterance. The same is true for my parents and every other Christian conservative I know….. so I really don’t think any politician who’s ready to do the right thing got the country should be concerned about losing Christian votes if some blackmailer reveals they look at porn or whatever…in 1994 maybe; not in 2024

The Dems and the left are rapidly cheapening their leverage - the usual exposure stuff isn't going to be blackmailable fairly soon at this pace - even at the networks - especially at the ones that are openly antisemitic (MSNBC, CNN), employ out and proud gays like Maddow, or use "exposure" artists like Toobin as respected analysts. If these folks have a seat at the table, gets pretty hard for the IC to blackmail others for the same behavior. The only thing that will work soon is videos of some politico actually doing MAGA stuff....

I, personally, don't agree with this. Christians are Christians because they acknowledge that they are sinners. If there is sin in one's life, and there always is, when someone points it out, it can be acknowledged and let go.
This is made more difficult because, as Putin pointed out in the Tucker interview, TPTB own the media and will only allow out what they approve, so one who fights will always be attacked and not allowed to present the other side of the story. Accordingly, someone who is always attacked, I see as someone who is trying to do good.

Hey, SiD. It's your day today.
Scream Day, celebrated on April 24, sounds silly at first but the day has its merits. Modern-day hustling has led to a lot of pent-up anxiety and pressure, which we all need a healthy way to channel. While meditation is a go-to way to relax, many psychologists are convinced that there is nothing like good old screaming to let it all out. Releasing built-up frustrations through screaming is surprisingly calming for the brain.

Many happy returns!

Wednesday Morning Rant
RINO is perhaps the least accurate political insult ever used. The fact that it has been in existence for so long and is still so useful is a testament to that. We don't still have "Nixonian Republicans" because it quit being relevant. We don't still have "Me Too Republicans" or most of the others. But we do still have the misnamed "RINOs" and the term isn't going anywhere because the disconnect between what the Republicans actually are and what their voters perceive them to be has never been solved.
Consider those who are famously "RINOs." They are men like John McCain and Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney and Adam Kinzinger. The list goes on. And on. And on. It's probably easier to name Republicans who are not "RINOs," and that should underscore the problem with the term. If virtually all of the prominent and powerful Republicans are "RINOs" and have been for decades (though with even greater concentrations today), the term is internally contradictory. These men are not RINOs, they are "Republicans In Good Standing." These are not phony Republicans who work against the interests of the party. They work against the interests of their constituents, and of the people more broadly, but not of the party. They are not merely titular Republicans. These men and all of their fellow travelers are the Platonic Ideal of Republicans. They are the GOP. This is what the GOP has been for ages. This is what it wants to be. This is the party that puts forward red-meat legislation like ending Obamacare or improving border control when it can't possibly pass, and then refuses to even consider such unseemly things when they are actually in a position to make them happen. We also call this "failure theater," and it's part of the same concept. It's the GOP's modus operandi. Those who do not behave this way - the odd man who seems to at least occasionally try to do something else - are the real RINOs. They are the ones who do not behave like Republicans. If someone is "in name only," it's the person who is hated by the rest, and the person whom the rest resent for bucking their trend and their norms. Those who normally get called "RINOs" don't deserve to be because they're the real, true, effective, "team player" Republicans who serve in the manner demanded by the party. If you're looking for a RINO, don't look for a Nikki Haley or Paul Ryan, look for a Rand Paul or Matt Gaetz - or, if you are a Republican, you can probably just look in the mirror. These are the real RINOs.Comments

That's absurd. A Platonic Ideal of anything was NOT what most examples actually were. That's why it's an "ideal". You don't find it by a census. It is instead a paradigm, a perfect instantiation.
The question - and I don't know the answer - is what IS that paradigm. Is it most of the supporters want?

One could make the argument that the republican party is at it's core, the ideals that are espoused, not the people that occupy the positions. therefore, the miserable twat waffles who are the "nominal" heads of the party are in fact RINOs because they violate the core tenants of the party, thus making them the GOPe, since they're currently in charge.

Tons of variables. You have to do your homework and really look at the offering closely.
For my folks, Advantage was a good move. Theirs is from a real insurance company and doesn't have tons of "extras" like the ones on TV ("free" shoes or groceries or whatever). That real insurance company, however, has an excellent network where they live and there are *more* doctors available to them than there are with regular Medicare. A lot of docs that don't accept Medicare patients will accept a UHC or Blue Cross patient or whatever, depending on where you live.
The plans with lots of "freebies" are usually bad value. The plans from real mainline insurers could be quite good, depending on what they cover and the strength of their network (and participation) in your locality.

I'm less pessimistic about it, actually.
The base is not a minority within the party, the base just isn't in the party. Not really, not anymore. The party doesn't serve its base and doesn't do what it claims. People have started to figure that out, but old habits die hard.
But that also creates opportunity. Maybe the GOP will change and become the party it claims to be, but I doubt it. The GOP may also die and be replaced by a party that is more or less what the GOP claimed to be. That would be fine.
But it's too obvious now what the GOP is, and it isn't what it claims to be or what people (decreasingly) believe it to be.

The term is widely used by systems theorists, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it.
When a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behavior is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behavior with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.

They've currently got the best racket in America going and will fight anyone who threatens it. That includes their voters, who are given a binary choice based on one or two "issues" which aren't ever solved.
It's brilliant. 160 years since the last political party came along and upended any applecarts.
So democrats promise to tax the rich and ban guns, and up until recently the republicans ran on abortion and lower taxes.
None of those issues are meant to be solved, they're meant to help the rubes choose sides.

I'd think the major insurance companies like Humana and the like would be okay. They offer a low or $0 premium, but not many more freebies. And at present, my only Rx is the commonly available and cheap BP med; so I can check for that.
The Medicare Supplement plans don't offer dental or vision, or Rx coverage -- right?
Before I sign up with anybody, I'll check other zip codes I'm considering moving to, and see what their coverage is there.

And they have so completely rigged--not just the money, but the fraud--the primaries that is near impossible to defeat them in the only election that matters.
So, vote for the Dem and your vote will never count again.

A (small town) friend chose Advantage and discovered that there was only one (1) doc in town who took it. The next year he had to drive to the next town for the only one (1) who took Advantage.
A year later he was dead. - I think because of the physician's lax practices and procedures.
With Medicare A&B you can choose the best hospital then check which docs have privileges there and pick your Primary and/or specialist. Bam! I had top of the line -brain fart- insurance before retiring and Medicare is better and easier.

The real battle was never at the top. It gets all the headlines, but you're never going to change the party by getting one guy to replace another guy.
The real battle is happening at the ground up. The donor class cares a whole lot less about what elected GOP does at most city council levels. It cares only slightly more about what GOP state reps are doing. Hell, GOP governors can be raging conservative on certain levels. It's just once they get to the federal stage that the corruption really takes over across the board. The corruption at the lower levels are simply of a different character. Real estate instead of military, that sort of thing.
So, that being said, it's places like FL (obviously) and TN (rumors of turning down fed education dollars) where the change to the party as a whole come from. This was always a fight that was going to take at least a generation. The Tea Party was just over half a generation ago.

So RINO is still a useful term, plus it is so established it would be difficult to change.

Rarely - and the big stuff that could be scary is rarely covered - like implants. Dental insurance is a bit of a racket. We all paid for it through our work. We pay a monthly premium to get access to somewhere between 1000-1500 a year in financial support, much of which has significant co-pays attached. It is capped. If something real bad happens, your dental insurance doesn't help very much at all.

The term is widely used by systems theorists, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it.
When a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behavior is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behavior with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.
Posted by: I M Simpleton at April 24, 2024 11:19 AM (cwq7b)

There's a fundamental flaw with that approach. It entails that no system can be said to fail, because it is, by definition, doing what it does, and this is its purpose.
So, e.g., our school system is excellent.
Really, concepts such as success and failure, rottenness or excellence, are meaningless by that standard. Everything does what it does, and so everything "succeeds".

I was elected chair of my town's Republican Party last month. CT is a very tough state to be a conservative (RINO) in, as the party feels in their bones that the only way to win is to be moderate, and avoid the hot-button issues that we all know the Dems will target in November - abortion, and Trump. Now that I'm trying to walk the talk in the real world, I certainly understand the pull of that argument. If we had a record of winning with that strategy, I'd understand it more. However, we're not winning. Fortunately, there are a small (and growing) group of CT GOPers that want to change tactics as well.

Abbott's a cut-out, a wholly owned subsidiary of GOPe. He does less that he says he's going to do and he does the minimum necessary to polish the veneer of a conservative. He backed Louis Gohmert in his run against Paxton, he did not support Paxton during the impeachment (he didn't speak ill either - he was neuter), during the primary election he supported members of Paxton's impeachment committee.
Stealth Abbott is helping to turn Texas blue.

It's funny. I was at a GOP orientation for new RTC Chairs this past weekend, and someone actually said something to that effect. It didn't go well in the room.
When asked what issues we should run on, the answers are Taxes and Schools. All well and fine, but the schools failed us bigly during COVID, and there is absolutely no appetite to hold them to account. In fact, we're racing the Dems to see who can fund all the special remediation programs to get our kids back up to pre-C19 standards first. No talk about funding government at pre-C19 levels either. It's like its a political Third Rail. Everyone wants to MoveOn.org, and not even talk about the last four years.

Meh. Just mileage would be fine. If you drive an EV, you pay a mileage tax when you register or renew your car. Check the odometer, do the subtraction, pay the tax.
But that makes too much sense, doesn't expand the panopticon, and doesn't offer lots of graft to a powerful person's cousin. So when they impose mileage taxes - and I suspect they will - it will apply to everyone (not just EVs, so IC drivers will get double-taxed) and they will enforce it with GPS trackers but that's okay because they promise not to use location data for anything other than calculating the taxes. Swearsies.

Pooky got put on Medicare because he's on SSDI (his premiums are being taken out of his monthly check). But he kept the Medicaid, as well as VA benefits. So whatever the VA doesn't pay for, and then Medicare doesn't pay for, usually Medicaid will pick up. But getting to that last point is a huge hassle and involves a LOT of dead trees.

I heard Abbot stumping recently--even while he's talking about lowering property taxes and school choice, he throws in a line about paying teachers more.
Maybe he clumsily means that school choice would result in increased teacher wages, but I think it's more likely that he means what he says and he wants to pay the union their gold.

Because any of the insurance coverages available don't really cover all that much. Maybe at most a couple thousand dollars in a bad year. As a retiree, on average, you have more money and assets than anyone else.

That works...unless you get a cancer treatable by new immunotherapy drugs. They are considered part D b/c they are pill form (so not chemo covered under Part B)...and they will bankrupt you, even at low % splits this year (when Medicare puts in a ceiling, if it does, next year, maybe it won't be so bad).
FYI - retail price of my future meds is $165K-$191K/year for 1 of them. Then you have other meds you take with them to make sure nothing goes wrong - those are cheaper.

The way I understand it, everyone gets A and B (taken from your SS payment). Then you decide if you want your supplemental to be Advantage (C) or Supplemental (D). For me, 174.40 per month for basic (out of my SSA), 157.08 for supplemental, and 15.80 for prescription (which I have never used).

Um no. Medicare Advantage is "Medicare-like" coverage that is administered by private companies rather than by the government. If you have MA you DO NOT have Medicare Part A or B... although you continue to pay the Part B premium. You have similar services as traditional Medicare, plus drug coverage. But the way they operate is totally different.

The entire case is a monstrosity.
Even down to the bullshit falsifying financial records.
The documents they are talking about are internal documents and not public facing documents for financial reporting or auditing purposes.
Essentially they are diary entries but these animals took diary entries and conjured a Kangaroo Court.
Hey, Bidens Quim Daughter talked about showering with her father while she was underage in her Diary, I'm sure that could be made into a federal case, I mean they somehow made a federal case about the possesion of the diary, maybe we should make like Bunny and BURN THE WHOLE F**KING VILLIAGE DOWN!!!!!!!

This isn’t entirely accurate. Medicare advantage is a replacement for traditional Medicare. It is NOT traditional Medicare with drug coverage tacked on. It also replaces a Medicare supplement plan in the sense it will have a stop-loss provision for the 20% of traditional plan B coverage never pays.
But there is a trade-off.
It it also is a private company managing your care, where you can go and who you can see is typically limited - a lot.Refusals to pay or delays in authorizing treatments have been a huge problem, enough that these plans have been derided as scams. Cost shares and high deductibles still exist though there is a stop loss.
I would recommend that anyone who can afford it stay on employer paid insurance as long as possible under the rules, then get traditional A &B with a separate D plan and Medicare supplement. The latter come with de minimis is or high deductible versions, but are needed for stop loss and out of network protections.

Why do we keep sending them? Our binary system mostly limits us to two horrible choices, one of which is slightly less horrible than that other. That makes them our representatives, but they don't represent us when they get into office. They are not Republicans. It's that simple.
The article is correct, though, that RINO should be retired. Those who deserve the contempt originally embodied within the acronym now wear the title with pride. The usefulness of the term has expired.
I don't know what to replace it with - something to give the flavor of GOP but not Republican.
