JustTheNews: The Secret Service Tracked James Comey After His "86 47" Call for Assassinating the President
Hey, it's just a group of sea shells I thought was interesting. I don't mean anything by that. Just some completely random numbers and letters I randomly typed out.Related: Tulsi Gabbard has assembled a team to find and punish those in the Deep State weaponizing the government.
The Secret Service tracked former FBI Director James Comey after a social media post in May that critics of it say called for killing President Trump. ... Three anonymous government officials told The New York Times that law enforcement authorities in unmarked cars and street clothes tracked the location of Comey's cellphone the day after he posted on Instagram a picture of the numbers etched in the sand at a beach via seashells. Comey deleted the post, which was captioned "Cool shell formation on my beach walk." In a follow-up post, Comey said, "I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down." Authorities tailed Comey and his wife, Patrice, as they drove from their North Carolina vacation through Virginia to their home in the Washington, D.C., area, the officials said, citing "exigent" circumstances for the justification. The Secret Service was also receiving information showing the location of Comey's phone while federal law enforcement were at his home waiting for him to return, according to the officials, The Times also reports. Comey was interviewed over the phone by the Secret Service the evening of the day that he shared the post, and he said he had no intent to cause the president harm. The Secret Service still wanted to interview Comey at their headquarters the next day, so agency personnel met him when he arrived home from vacation and drove him to the D.C. office, where they questioned him. ... Comey has not been charged with a crime, and the status of the inquiry is unclear. ... A representative for Comey declined to comment to the Times. ... Trump also responded to Comey's initial post and follow-up explanation, saying, "He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant. If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant? That meant assassination. And it says it loud and clear."
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has reportedly launched an initiative aimed at preventing bad actors from using their positions to weaponize intelligence agencies against Americans for political reasons. The Washington Post reported that Gabbard has formed a new team called the Director's Initiative Group (DIG) to access the chat logs and emails of US intelligence agencies. This move is intended to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order to "end the weaponization of the federal government" while dismantling DEI initiatives and revealing political bias within these agencies. However, some have taken issue with the initiative, arguing that it would result in the department gathering sensitive information on millions of American citizens. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) characterized the initiative as an effort "to expose the truth and end the politicization and weaponization of intelligence against Americans." DIG has already obtained unclassified communications from the Intelligence Advanced Research Proejcts Activity and is planning to leverage artificial intelligence technology to analyze the data. Critics who spoke with The Washington Post on condition of anonymity expressed fears that this move could compromise sensitive information while targeting employees for political retaliation. "They wanted access to everybody's systems," one source told the news outlet.Oh, the spies object to being spied on...? Well then, you go right back to leaking top secret documents to the press and tipping off CHIRLA and Trantifa about coming ICE raids.

Normally I'm against this kind of thing, but also, normally a former FBI director doesn't call for the assassination of the sitting president.
So I'm fine with the secret service harassing him a bit.

Bondi is not idle. Every time you see a court smack around a rogue judge, that is her work. She is the one picking the lawyers, approving the arguments, and slowly, inexorably boxing in the courts. We don't know what's going on with Epstein, but it is peak hair-on-fire for people to lose their shit over an unsigned, undated letter release to AXIOS - that beacon of journalistic integrity.
Why not let MSNBC pick your next target? It's that stupid.
ACB's ruling left a gap for "class action" suits, but it also set guidelines, which have been disregarded. Moreover, you only get one bite of the apple with a class action- if it's turned down, it's over. This is much better than a thousand cases being filed in a thousand courts hoping that one judge will give you the TRO.
Both of them are worth 1,000 Souters/Jeff Sessions.

It doesn't piss me off, but I do not agree about Epstein. And Trump and Bondi both addressed the issue when asked by a reporter and basically said "shaddup, it's in the past."
It's clear we're not going to get the swamp draining we were promised, but I always thought THAT was a long shot.

They clearly allowed bogus warrants to be certified by the court under false pretenses.
They also allowed all kinds of unauthorized access into the NSA files, etc.
I am always personally pissed when someone defrauds me, plus even more pissed when it was attempted in a business scenario where I was also responsible for other people's money.
Do these judges have no honor and no desire to clean up a system that has clearly been penetrated and corrupted?

I just have no faith that anything will be done about this.
And Pam Bondi set the clock, not me. She said they'd release everything back in, what, February? And then she said the FBI was stonewalling her, but Kash Patel was going to set that right and have everything on her desk by that weekend?
And now she's saying "when I said I had Epsteins list on my desk, I meant I had a FILE on my desk. There is no list."
And it's not like this happened yesterday. Epstein was arrested in 2019. It's 2025. Statute of limitations is running, and probably has already run on most of the crimes. Why would there be any legitimate need for further delay, and why would Bondi, Patel, Bongino, and now Trump all say there is nothing to see?

You know that huge increase in funding to train up ICE agents? That means new agents, not the old traitorous ones we have now in other three letter agencies.
So Noem builds up this army of patriotic, young guns who will have a few years of practical experience in investigation, surveillance and take-downs.
Then BOOM
Public frustration with the Three Stooges brings about not only their dismissing but also a realization that the FBI is unredeemable and must be shut down like the Department of Education.
The New and Improved ICE - without the toxic seditionists, communist, saboteurs and demonic sociopaths assumes the FBI's former duties.
That would be a coup I could get behind, and its already in progress whether they planned it or not.

Hmmm.. I'd have to think about it, but my first instinct is that I would rather have the 20 million deportations then have proof of what the deep state is up to and how it operates years down the road, which is what would come out with the Epstein stuff.
If it comes out in 20 years, it'll be like the JFK stuff now. Even if it was proven that the CIA killed JFK, I think most people would go "huh. That's weird. But whatever, it happened a long time ago, who cares?"
In other words, the longer this drags on, the less impactful the Epstein stuff will be.

Epstein is looking at an eternity of torment, and so are his clients. Whether we lean of their crimes now or later does not matter to me much. They will be exposed.
But the illegals, that is an imperative issue. Existential. Axios is no friend to Trump, and people arguing that Bondi needs to go are merely echoing the Democrats at this point.

I'm sure there are. But backing away from revealing what everyone already kind of knows is true anyways with the Epstein stuff is not a great sign that we're in the process of draining any swamps. Can we agree on that?
This should be a huge front page scandal that causes all of us to say "wow, our government doesnt work the way we think it does. Our congressmen aren't voting their conscious, they're voting how the Deep State tells them to vote because they're being blackmailed and coerced! We don't truly live in a representative republic."
But everyone in both parties and in all major institutions are saying "shut up." Including people like Bongino and Patel (and Trump) who were VERY vocal on this subject before they got to DC.

As much as I would love to see justice to those perverts who destroyed those girls' lives, that is likely only to happen at The Great Judgement Day.
The current composition of the DOJ and FBI and the courts and juries are likely to make this one long unending shit show with very disappointing, but expected result.
The jus soil argument has been kicked around in countless legal groups for years, there just hasn't been any administration willing to try the case.
A lot of what Trump is wanting to do has been cultivated in think tanks for ages, and new ideas are being looked at by non-federal lawyers who aren't corrupted and serve only The Party and their pensions.
The DOJ's lawyers are total jokes, can only handle process "crimes" because none of them can tell Right from Wrong and don't know how to deal with rogue judges.
You have to give Trump time to get the private law and think tank lawyers to do his heavy legal lifting.

Epstein was an intel asset. That's not conjecture, it has been established fact for years.

Again, the fact that the media seems wildly incurious about knowing who Epstein was, his connections, his crimes and ultimately the deeper story, seems to indicate that this sh*t is f**king big that nobody wants to be anywhere near it.
I mean, in what world would a guy who got his start as a math teacher by Bill Barr's father, inexplicably went on to become a hedge fund billionaire, and was apparently running a underage child sex and **** ring, who ultimately died in a prison run by the man who got him started, not worthy of some sort of investigative journalism?

I don't know if the use of "Protestants" is a synonym for "Not Roman Catholic, Anglican or Greek Orthodox"
The American Religion which curiously does not have a Confession, so technically they are not Protestants, just aberrant Anabaptists who have a plush toy Genie Jesus.
We know them as Big Box Christianity. If you listen enough to CCM stations and the radio preachers, when parsing their Invitation To Know Jesus pleas, invariably Jesus is some Snake Oil that cures whatever damage that you have done to your life.
And that is why the Big Box church has the highest percentage of broken families and divorce rate compared to the public at large. The marketers directly target that demographic.
So if Protestant = Big Box, the statement is statistically an understatement.

And yes within the evangelical movement there is very much a "born again" (I'm sure you've heard the term) idea that your past life wasn't truly Christian, and so you can reboot and start over fresh.

To have a little fun with Scriptures:
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” — Matthew 7:13–14
The Big Box known for the Gavin Newsoms of the Clergy, are the "wide gate" since a lot of nominal "Christians" go there for amusement, entertainment and a wholesome place to dump off the kids for a few hours.
Or as was defined elsewhere: Therapeutic, Moralistic Deism is their theology.

Orthodox (whichever country flavor) are nearly identical doctrine-wise and sacraments are valid between them. There are just management org chart issues, lol.

Doubtful. Original affair was widely reported in 2018 due to the Bush faction. He has won several races since then.
So has DJT with several affairs. I think part of it is a misconception from people who are not Southerners about how evangelicals vote. Bulshit Bulwark has the same misconception as do the major media.
Continuing to sin is a problem--eg. getting caught repeatedly doing crap while claiming innocence. Such as a drunk who continue to get arrested for being a drunk or a someone chasing little girls/boys or abusing power. Beyond that, evangelicals are just as capable of determining where their policy interests are best served by which politician as any other upper class voter might do.
That is why bullshit artists like David French or the lefty asshole infiltrator that the Southern Baptist hired before spitting him out due to his actions. Name escapes me. Evangelicals are no less and no more intelligent in steering their votes as any other group in society.

Not really. It is more that one should go and sin no more (see Jesus discussing with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well for clarification).
Jesus and his Father can actually see into the hearts of mankind and know what lurks there in all its glory and ugliness. True repentance means living a different life from that day forward as to walk in the footsteps of Christ and follow him.
Those that fake it and pretend are known by Christ and soon that rottenness and falsity becomes apparent to other believers.
Same with deathbed confessions by murderers, thieves, wife beaters, etc. You have to actually have changed in your heart and desire contrition before it is granted.
Most of the differences between the Christian denominations rest with relatively minor doctrinal emphasis rather than one is totally separate from the others.

There are some who use the "By grace you are saved" as a "get out of jail sin card." No, continuing to willfully sin is wrong, because if you're a new creature in Christ, you're supposed to avoid sin, else you cheapen what Christ did on the cross.

As Democrats Remain Silent on the Insurrectionary Assaults on Federal Agents, Senator Schmitt Proposes Increased Criminal Penalties
CNN and MSNBC continue to completely suppress any reporting on one of the Democrat-Media Party's terror cells that just shot up ICE agents. Even left-leaning Mediaite thinks this is notable.
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., on Thursday announced that he would introduce a bill to raise the maximum penalties for attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel amid an uptick in violent opposition to mass deportations. "The punishment for attacking an ICE agent should be swift and devastating," he said.
"
I'm introducing a bill to double the maximum federal penalty. Left-wing radicals want to use violence to advance their political agenda. We can't let them win. The mass deportations must continue." The White House confirmed this week that ICE agents had faced a 700% surge in assaults against them as federal agents moved to ramp up arrests and deportations following passage of the "One, Big Beautiful Bill Act." That legislation greatly expanded ICE's budget to double its detention space from 50,000 beds to 100,000 and to hire as many as 10,000 additional agents.
If you hadn't heard about it yet, you might just be a CNN or MSNBC viewer; neither network has devoted a single minute of airtime to covering the attack, though CNN managed to devote a sentence to it in an online story about another attack on immigration authorities. Should that not strike you as unusual, imagine this scenario: 11 members of a right-wing militia group open fire on an FBI field office on a major holiday, and a responding police officer is shot in the neck. You think that would have a cold chance in hell of escaping the attention of the likes of Joe Scarborough, Wolf Blitzer, Jen Psaki, Brian Stelter, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Dana Bash? This glaring omission is particularly notable given the two news organizations' relentlessly critical coverage of ICE and persistent warnings about right-wing extremism and violence. Searches for mentions of ICE on air may not turn up any coverage at all of the attempted murder of innocent law enforcement officers, but they do yield plenty of segments about other protests of the organization, MSNBC's Catherine Rampell ranting about its employees "potentially like beating people, and committing violence," and a CNN interview of a Latino man lamenting that his "own people" were being "arrested and harassed by the ICE agents." Nothing about bullets flying by heads, though.
Just as illegal aliens tell lies about the oppression they're facing in their home countries to get the US to let them into the country, so too are the residents of Gator Gitmo now telling Sad Stories about mosquitoes and "food filled with maggots" to be released back into America. The "mosquitos are as big as elephants." "We're like rats in an experiment." "I don't know why they're doing this, if it's a form of torture." "They took the Bible I had and told me here, there is no right to religion." Obvious lies. Just spamming out whatever complaints sound like they might be of constitutional-level import, so that another Biden/Obama judge can issue a restraining order. Fuck you. If you don't like it, GO THE FUCK HOME.
The dude you're crying about is this guy, who was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. And the only info you're basing it off is this uncorroborated claim. All from a phone call to his girlfriend that was miraculously recorded for the news.

I once heard from someone who had been in prison, that you could tell the Mexican-Mexican criminals (imprisoned in the US) by smell. It seems that they found sending their clothes to the prison laundry with everyone else's garments to be unsanitary, so they'd hand-wash them in their cell toilets instead.
The American criminals of Mexican descent didn't do this.

And I don't mean that as a Norm Macdonald punch line.

If you are employed by BYU, I think you have to live the BYU standards. Professors, coaches, everyone. BYU as a school banned caffeine/soda for decades, so of course it spread like a virus through the whole church culture that you could not drink caffeine at all, if you were a "good" mormon. It became an insufferable holier-than-thou thing, but there was no officially policy against soda, just black tea and coffee.
The cynical side of me thinks BYU reversed this caffeine ban on campus when they realized all the money they were losing out on, not getting Pepsi or Coke on campus as an official sponsor. Those exclusive contracts with a soda brand for universities is a big deal! But I loved that it threw the holier- than-thous in a tizzy. How can they judge their fellow members now, if not by their caffeine consumption!
I adore my church. But huge parts of the judgmental social culture within it, especially in insular Utah, bugs the crap out of me. Out of Utah, the culture is more chill.

However, I do want a severe increase in the penalty for "interfering with a federal officer in performing the arrest or transportation" of a suspected criminal.
Normal citizens do not have that job. The ICE, CBP, and other federal LEOs do, and Antifa is dragging away perps, putting hands on officers (which could easily hold a knife on the second attempt), etc.
THAT needs to be stopped with harsh sentences, or the only way the LEOs can function would be numerous baton strikes on the crowd - which the Democrat politicians would actually love!

In high school, it's called Transfer to Catholic School. The Catholics dominate high school sports in most states. Clearly some recruiting going on.
And I got nothing against Catholics. Just sayin'.

And you can imagine what they hear about when it comes to Americans!
But yes. At least in Ireland and the UK, the Ukrainian guests seemed to have very much overstayed their welcomes. As, of course, have their Muslim friends.
But if you're too loud about that, you get arrested. So people just seethe quietly.

My HS senior year broke a Catholic school's 50 game win streak. They collected people from dozens of states. An odd quirk is they had no home stadium and played all road games. Their coach went on to coach at Notre Dame...not too well.

They are not a higher caste.
When I see a skeevy perv approaching me or a family member, I can back away and buy time and evaluate their intentions and ask them to stop. (Failure to stop is a pretty clear signal about possible intentions.)
A LEO can do none of those things if he has hands on a person even mildly resisting arrest. His choices are "stay on the X" and risk an assault, or "release the arrestee".
Those are both bad outcomes for a free society.

My very scanty research seems to say...
A candidate cannot file applications for two or more offices that will be voted on at one or more elections held on the same day. For example, a candidate could not file an application for city council and school board if those elections will be held on the same day. If a candidate files more than one application for a place on the ballot, each application filed subsequent to the first application is invalid.

It can get weird as far as timing in specific states but generally, you can run in some states for reelection to Congress (including Senate) at the same time as running for president. You cannot generally run for Senate and your House seat at the same time. If you lose your run at the Senate, the primary for the House has already occurred with a new winner for the seat in the new Congress.
I do recall a few instances though where state primaries for federal offices were held at different times than state primaries. So you could technically lose in the federal primary and still run for the state office or vice versa. Also happens with presidential primaries. Then of course writein or independent runs depending on sore loser laws.

To be fair, these 8 aren't from there, they are taking them in to help the US out. So I'd complain too.
If even your native country doesn't want you back...

Nasty hot here. I sat out on my step for a little bit since it was overcast after a rain, or at least the threat of one, earlier. Then the sun came out. Unh-unh; back indoors for this boy.
The Killer Kittenz From Outer Space are doing well. Big black Stirling is lined up for his trip to the vet tomorrow for rabies shot and flea treatment; I'll ask them to clip his claws while they're at it.
The Kitten Yoga at the suburban library was kind of fun. All the shelter kittens were shorthairs. There was one sandy male kitten who displayed quite the personality; maybe "personality problem" would be more like it. He did not seem to get along with any of the others who came near him. Yet he was okay with people touching and picking him up, and he played with toys enthusiastically. He's gonna be a handful.

Residents of South Sudan's capital Juba have voiced concerns for their safety after the arrival of eight deportees from the United States that the Trump administration has described as ‘violent criminals’
Posted by: LizLem
============
That answers a question I've had, which is what exactly happens to those criminals after we deliver them to South Sudan? I didn't know if they would be detained or free to make their way. If the latter, and they decided they didn't like it in a corrupt shithole country full of tribal violence where no one speaks Spanish... what a movie. Jokes aside, WOW. Some intrepid journalist ought to go to South Sudan a few months from now and find out how they're getting on.

I had family from Europe visit a few years back and they wanted to pop on over to Disney World for a day or two while in town. They asked me how long the train ride from NYC to Disney was. I was like "err... there's probably a train, but it's probably a pain in the ass. If you rent a car and drive straight, you should be able to make it in about 24 hours if you only stop for gas and don't hit too much traffic."

Utah did this! They divided all the house districts into a pie shape, with SLC at the center. So it chops up the bright blue that is SLC/Park City residents and our CA liberal transplants, and evens it out with the deep red of the rest of the counties. The house reps all have to trek out to Hicksville Utah towns to at least pretend to care about their rural concerns. And it prevents SLC from choosing two bright blue senators. Just purplish GOP ones, but it is what it is.
It's the only reason we aren't 100% Colorado blue yet. (Well, that and we'll never legalize recreational weed.) it's amazing when the Utah legislators are smart, sometimes.

But you know who's the first to walk away from them in any actual election? The Hispanic vote. They run into enough of these people in their day to day lives, they DAMN sure don't want to vote for them. Hispanic men in Texas are already voting over 50% Republican, run some Mean Black Girl and that number will skyrocket.

All three candidates did a final interview with Harris at her residence, the book explains, adding that when asked what they wanted to drink, Shapiro and Kelly chose water while Walz chose Diet Mountain Dew.
Appeal with rural voters was a top priority for the Harris ticket and the book states that Harris’ advisers felt that Walz was the best candidate to do that.
Harris’ “gut” told her that Walz would appeal to rural voters because he wanted to drink Diet Mountain Dew instead of water? What kind of “Hee Haw” nonsense is this?

About 6 years ago four or five State Supreme Courts (that lean left) in Red States pulled a fast one.

This guy then came in and re-drew the maps (PA and NC were two of the states where this happened). He folded traditional red districts into urban centers which totally engulfed the red district. Of course, the State Supreme courts claimed this to be constitutional...even though they set it up. The USSC refused to get involved.

Could City-Owned Grocery Stores Survive New York’s Shoplifting Plague?
Posted by: SMOD at July 10, 2025 04:56 PM (gaHF4)
Of course they can, they have unlimited city money behind them.But privately owned grocery stores couldn't, that's why there are way fewer grocery stores in the hood.
Posted by: Harry Paratestes at July 10, 2025 04:57 PM (uCjyK)
I mentioned this before, food stamp recipients should be the only people that buy at city owned grocery stores. Require them to shop there.
The Mormon church has a similar system. They have private stocked grocery stores or food pantries called "bishop's storehouses" for members of the church going through hard times. If you get approved by your ward's bishop because they see a need, you can go there and get free food and groceries until you are back on your feet. But it requires humility and accountability.
I've never needed their services, knock on wood, but I have done several service projects where we restocked the shelves and cleaned the storehouses.

Lebensraum is a German word that means "habitat" or "living space". In Nazi ideology, Lebensraum meant the expansion of Germany to the east in search of a unity between the German Volk and the land. The Nazi-modified theory of Lebensraum became Germany's foreign policy during the Third Reich. Lebensraum served as a major motivation for Nazi Germany's territorial aggression. Adolf Hitler believed that the German people needed Lebensraum, and that it should be taken in the East.

NYC politics is weird. No one every says or is asked about anything specific.
"I'm going to lower rent prices!" is never followed up with by a reporter with a question like "uhh.. how? How are you going to do that?" and forcing a candidate to actually explain anything.
It's just a bunch of bumper sticker nonsense. One lady ran a ton of commercials saying she was going to "stop the scourge of e-bikes in the city". But she never gave any details, including on her campaign webpage. What does that mean? Arresting the illegals delivering food for driving unregistered vehicles on sidewalks and the wrong way down one way streets? I'm all for it, but you need to say that. And then actually do it.

We have such a generous church welfare system, even with the accountability checks in place. Besides tithing, we also pay fast offerings every month, and they go right to the bishop who runs our local ward/church. He uses those offerings for families in our specific ward in need. They have paid for people's rent, mortgage, schooling, car repairs etc. when they are suffering.
I'm surprised more people don't join the church just as a scam to get free bennies, tbh! Maybe they have and I don't hear about it.

"Per The Hill:
Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said he discussed the Jeffrey Epstein case in March with President Trump, who told him there are “a lot of names associated” with the disgraced financier for innocuous reasons.
“I talked to President Trump, man-to-man, eye-to-eye, on St. Patrick’s Day about this. … And he said — and I agree — ‘There are a lot of names associated with Epstein that had nothing to do with Epstein’s conduct,’” O’Reilly said Wednesday during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Cuomo.”
“They maybe had lunch with them or maybe had some correspondence for one thing or another,” he told host Chris Cuomo.“If that name gets out,” O’Reilly continued, “those people are destroyed, because there’s not going to be any context. Media doesn’t care about context, so, you can’t do that. You can’t destroy a human being by putting out the files, whatever they may be.”

There was a brand of bread in the early Sixties, coming off the success of The Beverly Hillbillies on TV. "Hillbilly Bread." White, it featured little pockmarks where the yeast bubbles (I guess) had popped, unlike Sunbeam or other smoother white breads. It was okay, but I slathered it in peanut or regular butter most of the time. No idea what company had it.

Oh, so that's the excuse we're going with.
Wouldn't it just then be easier to say "Epstein must have destroyed all of the evidence before he was arrested. We have no idea who he trafficked the girls to, we would only be making guesses based on who he socialized with."
But even that doesn't really work, because the FBI knows who the girls are, and the girls know who they were trafficked to.
Oh well.
That said, if someone had lunch with Epstein, especially after his conviction in FL, shouldn't the public know about that?

Yes. And they will often have them do the Pathways program while they are getting aid if they don't have a job, to get some schooling and training as well. Which can be used to help get them a job in the future and out of poverty.

The first thing he answered when they asked if they could get him something to drink was coffee. They said we don't have that, so he asked for tea. No tea, then a soda. No soda.

If you are employed by BYU, I think you have to live the BYU standards. BYU as a school banned caffeine/soda for decades, so of course it spread like a cultural virus that you could not drink caffeine at all, if you were a "good" mormon. It became an insufferable holier-than-thou thing, but there was no officially policy against soda, just black tea and coffee.
The cynical side of me thinks BYU reversed this ban when they realized all the money they were losing out on, not getting Pepsi or Coke on campus as an official sponsor. Those exclusive contracts with a soda brand for universities is a big deal! But I loved that it threw the holie- than-thous in a tizzy. How can they judge their fellow members now, if not by caffeine consumption!

Baptists have a similar doctrine except on other items related to avoidance of those (booze, dancing, etc) in order to avoid sinning.
Course, the Church of Christ view the Baptists as heathens, the Methodists view the Baptists as Neanderthals, and the Presbyterian/Episcopal churches view all of the above as hopelessly unenlightened. Catholics consider all of these as endorsing heretical ideals and so on.

Lowly District Court Judge Blows Off the Supreme Court and Issues Another Nationwide Injunction Against Trump's Birthright Citizenship EO
Just as the good Justice Alito predicted.Note that Rule 23 imposes certain requirements which this judge is almost certainly blowing off because he's really just issuing a nationwide injunction under a different name.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante granted class-action status to babies who would be affected by the order, in an apparent attempt to circumvent the high court's directives to limit injunctions to participating parties in the case. The ACLU filed suit, arguing that those affected would suffer irreparable harm, NBC News reported. The Supreme Court last month narrowed the scope of prior injunctions against the order, finding that lower courts likely lacked the authority to issue sweeping injunctions. "The issuance of a universal injunction can be justified only as an exercise of equitable authority, yet Congress has granted federal courts no such power," wrote Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett. In a concurring opinion, however, Associate Justice Samuel Alito wrote that "today's decision will have very little value if district courts award relief to broadly defined classes without following 'Rule 23's procedural protections' for class certification."
(B) For (b)(3) Classes. For any class certified under Rule 23(b)(3) --or upon ordering notice under Rule 23(e)(1) to a class proposed to be certified for purposes of settlement under Rule 23(b)(3)--the court must direct to class members the best notice that is practicable under the circumstances, including individual notice to all members who can be identified through reasonable effort. The notice may be by one or more of the following: United States mail, electronic means, or other appropriate means.The notice must clearly and concisely state in plain, easily understood language: (i) the nature of the action; (ii) the definition of the class certified; (iii) the class claims, issues, or defenses; (iv) that a class member may enter an appearance through an attorney if the member so desires; (v) that the court will exclude from the class any member who requests exclusion; (vi) the time and manner for requesting exclusion; and (vii) the binding effect of a class judgment on members under Rule 23(c)(3) .Obviously he's not even going to attempt notifying babies that they are now part of a class action lawsuit. And note that just because you certify a class for a class action, that isn't -- or shouldn't be -- grounds for issuing yet another single-unelected-judge diktat that overrides the American voters' strong message at the ballot box. But no big deal because this is just a pretext for the Judicial Insurrection's continuing Will to Power.

I, too, have made that argument but everyone yells at me.
Illegals aren't under the "jurisdiction" of the US any more than Indians on reservations were.
And if, as others have said, just being subject to US laws means you're under the "jurisdiction" of the US, then anyone who comes to the US, including diplomats or anyone else, or is in our exclusive economic zone is under our "jurisdiction" and why even have that language in there? Surely they meant something by the word "jurisdiction" (and we know what they meant - to exclude Indians)

It's just not how the courts work.
Has to go through the motions at the district level first. Then, government can appeal to the circuit. Then, if the circuit doesn't stay things (I imagine they will because nuking Rule 23 is in the cards like SCOTUS just nuked other national injunctions), then it can be appealed to SCOTUS.
And, looking up further, the judge actually stayed his own order, allowing time for the government to respond. So, the clock isn't even really started yet.

Now some of those Dem voters are duly certified citizens. But...most aren't. We've got 40M or so illegals, most of whom are voting and all of their kids.

The ACLU is fighting the good fight. I am proud of them. Glad I rejoined and donated!
Trump will appeal but delay going to SCOTUS because they realize there is no way they will say a President can overturn an amendment to the Constitution by executive order. They probably want to stall until after the midterms.
Whatever happened to teaching civics in school? The only way an amendment or a portion thereof can be overturned is with another amendment. But when you have a President that thinks he's a king...
Oh no! Now John Roberts will have to explain why the plain English of the 14th Amendment means exactly the opposite of what it means!
this is a good class definition. Very specific and clear harm is dealt to these individuals who historically would have been readily considered citizens.
Hopefully the SC will be sensible and continue to consider persons birthed under these circumstances to be proud USA citizens

And the judge did not follow Rule 23. Rule 23 is more of a guideline then?

Requiring trial judges to sit in panels for major cases involving state or fedgov laws (as was the practice before 1976) would curb a lot of these abuses.

Legal error, appeal and stay at court of appeals likely. If not, Scotus slap down with Action Jackson dissent.
Even Roberts can no longer claim that these judges are following anything like normal legal procedures. They are forcing him against his will probably to have to deal with these activists in order to preserve any respect for the courts. And respect for rulings, when gone, means that the court becomes advisory in nature.

The truth of the matter (not what should be argued in court) is that the 14th Amendment was meant to say "all former slaves are now citizens of the US. We are not including Indians in this, as they're their own thing."
Nothing about what we now call birthright citizen, I don't think they meant to create a whole new term of art ("...and subject the jurisdiction thereof") or anything else.
To me, it's very clear what the intention of the 14th was. But unfortunately Courts have decided it means anyone born on US soil is automatically a citizen, so that's the battle that has be fought, and the only real "out" here is the jurisdiction question.

In the judicial context, it makes sense.
1) no court wants to hear the same case over and over again, and god forbid you get contradictory jury decisions. So for convenience sake, the courts say "yep, lump all these people together in one case"
and
2) there are a lot of situations where the damages to any individual person are not worth the effort of filing the case (or don't meet the threshold to get in to federal court), but collectively the damages are huge. The courts reason they don't want bad actors to get away with being bad actors because the damages to each individual is only $5k or whatever, even if the collective damages are tens of millions of dollars. For example, in some kind of consumer fraud case.

No they did not. That is not a fair reading of Wong Ark Kim. Essentially Wong Ark was born here of legally present parents, came and went twice to China to see his parents, etc. And he was barred from reentry due to an exclusion act the second time from reentering the US. So, Justice Gray, in a crappy misreading of English common law btw, tried to rectify what he believed was an injustice but ignored that late unpleasantness of Dred Scott and why the 13-15 amendments were made which overrode any understanding before of natural born clause. Dred Scott held as part of the opinion that blacks, whether free or slave, could never be considered part of the people of the US and thus were non citizens forever. Obviously Congress had to fix this so they added the 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' (which has a meaning very different in US law than the old British common law--citizens v. subjects)

That's his problem. Its one thing to want to elevate the courts into a better group of judges, but if so the sort of wishcasting laws into TROs, the evading of rules on who and where people can sue and who gets to judge, the conspiring with the initiators and excluding the defendants should be mortal sins n his eyes and he should come down hard. But he doesn't have the steel.

But, just throwing up your hands and saying, "Well, case law says birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants is just settled," isn't correct. Because that's not what the controlling caselaw actually says.
SCOTUS revisiting this on the merits is going to look at Wong Kim Ark and start there. They could even overturn it, saying, "Congress needs to write legislation to clarify this, until then, the EO is controlling going forward," or "the EO is invalid until Congress speaks."
Considering SCOTUS's recent history, I'd call it 50/50 they go either way.

The biggest legal problem with "Subject to the Jurisdiction of" is the finding in Plyler vs Doe, 1982. As the saying goes, the Surpreme Court isn't final because they're always right; they're always right because they're final.
And the standing precedent on "Subject to the Jurisdiction of" is this:
"Texas officials had argued that illegal aliens were not "within the jurisdiction" of the state and thus could not claim protections under the Fourteenth Amendment. The court majority rejected this claim, finding instead that "no plausible distinction with respect to Fourteenth Amendment 'jurisdiction' can be drawn between resident immigrants whose entry into the United States was lawful, and resident immigrants whose entry was unlawful." The dissenting opinion also rejected this claim."

Yes, but since then, we've had birthright citizenship. I agree, SCOTUS needs to clarify / overrule Ark, and can easily distinguish the case of someone born in the US with two illegal parents from the Ark case if they so desire.

Sotamayor was an actual Bronx girl who lived in the projects, none of this Sandy Cortez carpetbagging crap. Real Bronx girls only suffer fools for so long. (Which is also why the Bronx had an impressive swing to Trump in the last election. Keep appealing to the working class legal latinos there! And get them all registered to vote and get them to the polls.)

Illegals aren't under the "jurisdiction" of the US any more than Indians on reservations were.
And if, as others have said, just being subject to US laws means you're under the "jurisdiction" of the US, then anyone who comes to the US, including diplomats or anyone else, or is in our exclusive economic zone is under our "jurisdiction" and why even have that language in there? Surely they meant something by the word "jurisdiction" (and we know what they meant - to exclude Indians)

That's not what I'm saying at all.
I'm saying the best strategy (in my opinion) is to attack birthright citizenship from the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" side, in light of the Ark case.
Because it will be an easier pill for SCOTUS to swallow if they're "distinguishing" any new case from Ark, then if they're forced to overturn the case in it's entirety.
They can say "in Ark, his parents were permanent residents and subject to the jurisdiction of the US. In the case at bar, the parents are illegal aliens subject to the jurisdiction of Mexico, and thus they are not covered by the citizenship clause of the 14th."

There is another way. Senate debatecloture via a talking filibuster. On any topic, a senator is limited to one floor speech however long it may be. Once the speakers list is exhausted, cloture occurs naturally because by the rules, no one else is allowed to speak on the matter.
Takes a month or two though of locking down the floor for no other legislation.

In hindsight, they should have been more clear in their language. That said, "slavery" (the word) was talked around a lot, it does not appear in the Constitution at all.
And writing a constitutional amendment / legislation is really difficult. You want it to be easily understandable, but you if are not very precise, judges will run in their own directions with the language. And even if you are precise, judges will read new meanings in to words, etc.
I think the way they wrote the 14th is good not great, but judges have just run with it.
Kind of like the 2nd Amendment. It's pretty clear what they were saying. And yet we have to have constant arguments over "well regulated militia." Could 2A have been written without that language? Yes. But I also see why no one thought that would be an issue when they drafted it.

Perris Mayor Michael Vargas shared the city's message on Facebook, warning residents that the city had received reports of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity.
"We urge all residents to remain calm, stay indoors when possible, and know your rights. Do not go out unless necessary, stay at home and do not open the door to strangers. This message is for awareness and safety. The City is committed to protecting the dignity and well-being of all our residents.

They even go out of their way to say the provisions do not apply to aliens.

It's been noted several times that SCOTUS always seems to provide a caveat, a loophole or whatever so that something they "might" like to see can be properly discharged in their court. It's another reason why I think this court has outlived its usefulness. Their proverbial thumb is on the scale.

I took those as a warning to the children in the lower courts that they were aware of this dodge. Like a mom telling kids to stop writing on the walls, then saying OR THE ROOF AND FLOOR TILES EITHER.
They really just need to strip this case from that judge and have someone else work it or drop it if it is just shit.

well, a strategy to be able to block Congress or the executives is a will to power. The failure of the strategy is the SCOTUS is not playing ball entirely. They are just hoping that the bad eggs will just give it up. They are processing these too fast for the strategy to work. They have pretty much failed on the immigration cases by now.

Our official goals were the ending of impressment, and not a whole lot else. The conquest of Canada was never mentioned in the articles of war drafted by Congress to start the conflict that was The War of 1812 which was a smaller part of England's Napoleonic Wars.
So, while the effort to take Canada failed, we fulfilled the declared intentions of Congress.
We won.
The victory ultimately didn't mean anything to Britain because they just stopped needing impressed sailors after defeating Napoleon, but that doesn't change the war from our perspective.

===================
The underlying need for affordable housing is itself a screaming instance of judicial overreach. New Jersey had a court case fifty years ago, called the "Mt. Laurel case" (can't recall the proper title offhand) where the state Supreme Court ordered communities to build "affordable housing". That case has been refined subsequently by additional cases, most recently under Chris Christie when the court ordered a reorganization of the state agency overseeing the Mt. Laurel obligations, but the issue has NEVER BEEN PASSED LEGISLATIVELY.
So Cranbury, which is a nice little town, has to find a place to build affordable housing. Because judges ordered it.

The post settlement Battle of New Orleans raised some eyebrows after we chopped the troops that beat Napoleon in Spain to hamburger. After that they wanted no part of provocations to the US and helped deter Monroe doctrine issues, thus closing down a distracting front in European wars. By the Mexican War era Canada could have been easily taken by the US Army that went to Mexico City. Better to both of us to demilitarize the region.

Well, you can guess what happened: They were forced by circumstance to wait to long that she ended up going into labor while still in Iran and gave birth there to her daughter (my friend). As a result, their daughter ended up with an Iranian birth certificate. (Neither parent was ethnically Iranian, BTW.)
And here's the point: Even so, the daughter was NOT automatically awarded Iranian citizenship. She was still considered an American citizen only.
(As an absurdist epilogue, when the da=ughter later went to college in the US, she applied for and got all sorts of scholarships aimed at Iranian students.)

Glenn's poured his fortune into buying up US history, to protect it, and is working to build a museum for all of it in TX. Beck owns one of Jefferson's Korans that he used to study the enemy and learn how he thinks, to defeat him. Whereas lefties think it means Jefferson was a secret Muslim.)
But this is the COOLEST thing they discussed...all the legal papers from Roe V Wade went to auction, and Glenn's wife was the one that bought them! She is indifferent to his "buying history" crusade. But she's pro life, and when she learned they were up for auction, she was interested. She was worried if a lefty bought it, they would destroy any papers in it not flattering to the left.
He said to her, is the cost of it going to be too much? And she said, what is the cost of millions of babies killed? Can you put a price on that? So she fiercely bid for it. Think what you will of the Becks, good on them!

It was Kagan who concurred on the decision to allow Trump to follow the existing law and practice to send 8 criminal aliens, unwanted by their own country, to leave Djibouti and continue on their way to South Sudan.
She had a concurrence that chided Jackson for not knowing what she was talking about.
But, again, this is not some great stretch on Kagan's part. Roberts has pulled 9-0 decisions with regularity for decades now.
She's still deeply partisan, willing to throw out everything at a moment's notice. Like with the national injunctions process she denounced just a few years prior. That's much bigger than, "8 criminal aliens already out of the country can keep going."

Heard last week about a woman in Maryland with over 400 outstanding parking and moving violations valued at over $125,000 from DC. Turns out the good folks of the DC believe that going after offenders is racist. The drivers in VA and MD have figured this out. Result: $1.4 billion in unpaid fines going back five years.

I have for the entire time been waiting for SCOTUS to get sick of these cases and actually act. If the lower courts can defy SCOTUS and the rules they have defined, well why do we need SCOTUS? just find a Trump judge and nationally injunct what we don't like. Or compel stuff we do like.

- NJ has two egregious "laws" Mt Laurel decision is one, and for decades towns have been struggling on where to build low income housing. It is horrible and reason enough to never live in NJ. It is all a major scam, and all it does is ruin security for middle income people and ruin all the schools. Major cash for dems though.
- This is what Obama tried to bring to the whole country with his programs (I forget what they called them,) but he wanted to make suburbs and exburbs pay taxes to inner cities.
- the other egregious law is just as bad -- they take money from "wealthy" school districts and send it to failing ones. Last I looked I think Red Bank was getting over $50k per student and that was years ago. It harms the good towns and rewards the failing towns turning them into major grift factories.
Honestly, NJ is only tolerable for the grifters or the very wealthy, The entire state needs to be eradicated.

I'm sure Epstein's agents did one Hell of a selling job on them, to be sure. But, as far as we know, they weren't outright kidnapped.

Some were and some weren't from depositions in the Prince Andrew case plus the trial evidence in the earlier Palm Beach case. And some of the girls trolled for other likely targets including Virginia Giuffre. Whole sordid and evil matter which keeps getting repeated in society (there was a similar knocking shop scandal in Victorian England), Craig Spence, Barnie Frank, etc. France does not even consider it a crime if pubescent and also see the Brunal scandal who was a friend of Epstein.
And intel and/or law enforcement is right there to wire the places up, take photos, use the information for leverage, etc.
It is the pervasive desire for law enforcement and intel to get information and power at any cost and to subvert civil government to get it to go along. See also the widespread rape squads of Pakis in UK, Jimmy Saville, and police involvement in procuring and screwing kids.

If I recall my ACW wargame where a Parrot was involved, those things were crap at killing troops in the field. Had huge range, but a small charge. Might have been able to beat down guns, but the reverse slope tactic would make that hard. Elevation changes in Belgium are mild, and trees would block field of fire as well.
Pistol and sword armed cavalry "Reiters" existed long before this time but were no longer in use. They carried multiple pistols, not sure if a revolver would tip the balance. With ring bayonets, the horses could be shot down at a decent rate even in square.

We know more about his Palm Beach ops and a bit about Pedo Island via the Prince Andrew lawsuit. We know not as much about his long running NYC condo and his even more secretive NM ranch. Brunal, his buddy modeling agency in France, apparently was involved in facilitating rape among other atrocities. And I am sure the DXB knows all about it as Brunal was most likely a French intel and law enforcement asset. I think Brunal also imported a lot of his victims which made it easier for the French to look away.

It was what pimps do and there is a reason it is considered evil.

They may not have been prostitutes but they were in positions/lifestyle/poor or abusive parenting that put them on a downward life trajectory.
It was in testimony that they were told that when they left Epstein they would be in better shape/circumstance than when they came. There is little doubt that the hundreds that did not come forward would agree.

Trump Sues California For Violating Title IX's Purpose of Reserving Female Sports for Females
That's now been exposed as the toe-in-the-water first attempt at political reinvention that it was. He's a Trans Crusader and always will be. Pam Bondi even quoted Transin' Newsom's statement that it's "deeply unfair" to force women to compete with men to support the lawsuit.
The Trump administration sued California Wednesday after a Department of Education probe found the state had discriminated against women by "allowing males in girls' sports and intimate spaces." The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division alleged that the California Department of Education (CDE) and California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) violated Title IX and forced girls to be "displaced from podiums, denied awards, and miss out on critical visibility for scholarships and recognition," according to the complaint filed in Los Angeles federal court. "This discrimination is not only illegal and unfair but also demeaning, signaling to girls that their opportunities and achievements are secondary to accommodating boys," the filing stated. "It erodes the integrity of girls' sports, diminishes their competitive experience, and undermines the very purpose of Title IX: to provide equal access to educational benefits, including interscholastic athletics." The complaint demanded a court order barring the policies, compensation for "female athletes who have been denied equal athletic opportunities ... including correcting past athletics records" and a requirement that California turn in "regular compliance reports" for at least the next five years. The DOJ's complaint noted that California's compliance was necessary since the $44.3 billion in federal funding the state received this fiscal year was conditioned upon compliance with Title IX. The 1972 law mandates equal opportunities regardless of sex in schools receiving federal funds. ... California is one of more than 20 states that allows athletes to compete in sports that comport with their chosen "gender identity" -- despite President Trump having signed an executive order in February barring the policy and threatening to pull federal funding to those states that persisted. "The Governor of California has previously admitted that it is 'deeply unfair' to force women and girls to compete with men and boys in competitive sports," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. "But not only is it 'deeply unfair,' it is also illegal under federal law. This Department of Justice will continue its fight to protect equal opportunities for women and girls in sports."
The left continues claiming that Trump didn't reduce the price of eggs despite the fact that Trump has already reduced the price of eggs. But if they want him to do more to reduce the price of eggs further, fine. He's also suing California for its interference in the national egg market.
The Trump administration sued California and Gov. Gavin Newsom over the state's anti-animal cruelty laws Wednesday, alleging they are contributing to the high cost of egg prices and are superseded by a federal law regulating egg quality, inspection and packaging. In its complaint, the Justice Department is attempting to block state laws that require additional space for hen-growing chickens, arguing they are "unnecessary red tape" and "do not advance consumer welfare." "California has effectively prevented farmers across the country from using a number of agricultural production methods which were in widespread use and which helped keep eggs affordable," the Justice Department wrote in its civil complaint. Two California ballot initiatives, passed in 2008 and 2018, mandate higher standards and housing requirements for hen-laying chickens and eggs sold in the state, requiring the birds to be given enough space to extend their limbs and move without touching another bird. The 2018 ballot initiative also bars hens from being kept in any "enclosure other than a cage-free housing system" and mandates space requirements for breeding pigs and calves raised for veal.I don't know about this one. There is a doctrine of federal supremacy that says that any state law that conflicts with federal law is null and void. There's always a question about whether the federal law is "so comprehensive" as to preclude any state laws in this area. And also: The federal government's power to intrude into state law is limited, or at least was intended to be limited. Eh, I think it's weak. But I do like that Trump is hitting the idea that it's the left responsible for inflation and high prices, and he's doing what he can to improve things. Lawfare for me? Then lawfare for thee. Also: Trump is shutting down a Clinton-era policy that allows illegal aliens to use taxpayer educational funds to pay for schooling.
Below, Transin' Newsom is incensed that Trump is trying to roll back trans rights all the way back to (checks calendar) 2016.
President Donald Trump's Department of Education announced Thursday that it will end a Clinton-era policy allowing illegal immigrants to access taxpayer funds for technical and career schools. Key Details: The Department of Education revoked a 1997 Clinton administration interpretation allowing illegal immigrants to access federal career and technical education funds. Education Secretary Linda McMahon said taxpayer funds should be reserved for American citizens and legal residents. Enforcement of the new interpretation begins August 9, 2025, following President Trump's February executive order ending subsidization for illegal immigrants. Diving Deeper: The Department of Education announced Thursday that it is formally revoking a rule put in place under President Bill Clinton allowing illegal immigrants to access taxpayer-funded programs in career, technical, and adult education. The Clinton administration issued a 1997 Dear Colleague Letter interpreting the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) to exempt these programs, effectively opening federal funding to illegal immigrants. Under the Trump administration, the Education Department is now reversing that interpretation. The Department notified postsecondary education providers that they will no longer be able to operate under Clinton-era standards and will be required to verify the eligibility of participants for these programs. "Postsecondary education programs funded by the federal government should benefit American citizens, not illegal aliens," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated. "Under President Trump's leadership, hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliens to participate in our career, technical, or adult education programs or activities."
Newsom: "Trump wants to bring us back to a pre-1960s America"

You are discussing the old era of E.C. Knight's dual federalism as applied to the commerce clause. Essentially though NLRB v Jones and Laughlin Steel and West Coast Hotel v. Parrish indicate that a state can regulate its own producers but NOT bar producers from other states from selling to vendors in that state.
California can cripple its own producers of pork and eggs, but not exclude Iowa's producers from selling to CA supermarkets.
Stream of Commerce theory baby.

After Wickard and reemphasized by Raich, states can only regulate where fedgov is silent and fed power is absolute over commerce when exercised. That was one of the primary reasons that the constitutional convention was convened.
To fix the states monkeying up commerce among the states and specifically all the Framers agreed that state power had to be overridden via the supremacy clause in areas where the federal government has an enumerated power to regulate (aka commerce among the states).
The exception is when a state is allowed concurrent power (see state pollution control agencies or food production regulation) or federal regulatory power is absent when the subject is commerce.

That doesn't mean it's wise, and frankly, I will never forgive Scalia for not overruling or at least strictly limiting Wickard when he had the chance with Gonzalez v Raich.

I hate to tell you Harry but it is easy to get Salmonella from field raised chickens. If a chicken's internal organs are infected by Salmonella (usually via food or water transmission) then it lays Salmonella contaminated eggs. Field raised chickens almost always have a greater need (for commercial operations) for antibiotics, dewormers, and other medications because field conditions are less than sterile.
That is because chickens are essentially scavengers that can and do eat their own and other's crap among other nasty things. Left to their own devices, chickens can even be cannibalistic. Essentially dinosaur descendants with feathers.
Farm raised pigs on grazing land can have similar food safety issues.
Never assume what is natural is necessary safe and healthy (naturalistic fallacy btw).

NLRB uses the limiting major effects test on commerce clause and whether Wickard or Raich were involved, it is fair to say that NLRB would still permit that.
EC Knight was another bad decision from a particularly bad Scotus led by CJ Fuller. Other winners include Lochner, Plessy v. Ferguson, and Pollock.

Setting aside all the politics, all the gender insanity, all the legal fights:
Why aren't the men who compete against girls EMBARRaSSED and ASHAMED of themselves?
But they aren't. Never. If you look of the photos and videos of the winning "trans" athletes, they are PROUD of themselves for blatantly cheating. Never any shame. Never any embarrassment. Never any self-doubt.
This whole problem would evaporate if these people had the slightest iota of self-consciousness. But there's something deeply wrong with them, and it's not even the "trans" gender stuff. They can have 6 billion people pointing out they they are immoral cheaters, and their response is to smile and wave and feel sanctimonious in their villainy.
They're all severely mentally ill, but not in the way people think they are.

That's not my primary concern. The chickens in the big factories are frankenchickens (cornish cross for meat birds, for example) who live a freakishly accelerated life cycle in a tiny cramped warehouse living in their own shit with only minimal ability to move.
They get in constant fights with each other, and are stressed out for their entire lives. Thus why the default for chicken feed includes antibiotics, because they're always all scrappy and cut up from the jostling and fighting.
Then we eat them.
Diseases are what they are. Yes, birds who spend their entire lives in warehouses are much less likely to catch diseases from nature then the birds who wander around outside, but that's a trade off.

If the law says "female" then there needs to be a definable measure of "female". Just like there is for weight class.

People with different chromosomes can compete, they just compete against the men, not the women. They compete in their weight class.

Even the fallback to NLRB would cause CA law to fail. Simply put, CA can disadvantage its own producers but lacks the power to constrain those outside its jurisdiction via long arm statutes. Not really a case about state power internally via the 10th but its power to extort other states to follow CA regulatory schemes. Even under EC Knight, that might be problematic.

I missed the part where Cernovich is a specialist in agricultural practices.
He can still buy whatever eggs from CA producers that he wishes but he cannot and should not as a CA resident be able to bar a commercial producer of pork, chicken, and eggs from being able to sell to other willing consumers in CA.
CA is purposefully raising prices on subsistence foods for the public as well as energy prices for political gain. Even a majority of Californians has no power to compel other states from selling in CA.
State powers to do that were circumscribed during the Constitutional Convention and on purpose.

No, their interest is maximizing yield of meat (or eggs) per pound of food eaten by the animal.
I'm arguing that there should be other factors at play other than "what is the cheapest way to produce chicken (or eggs)?"
And, you know, it's not like we're coming at this from a libertarian position here. Fedgov and state gov's already heavily regulate our food industry.

Barrett Firearms. They had a bunch of CA cop guns in their shop for repair, service or modification when CA passed the ban on civilian ownership of 50BMG rifles, so they told them to fuck off, shipped all the guns back unrepaired and told them not to bother sending anything else to their shop. Regular citizens were still allowed to send their guns in.

Yeah, except those words don't (legally) mean anything, and it's very difficult in the current iteration of our food supply to really trace the source of where your food came from.
In other words, existing "food safety" laws are the reason for the current situation.

Is it not at all strange that the US government is involved in policing sports in the first place? Imagine if the government had its hands this deep in any other kind of game. Chess, Call of Duty, Magic the Gathering...It would be really fucking weird, wouldn't it?
Every state that has a trans athlete ban has gone on to put more and more laws into place that target us, making existing in public difficult or impossible to do safely. It was never about fairness in sports and always about finding any reason to justify othering us, demonizing us, and eliminating us.
So that whole "Trump believes in States rights which is why he pushed for Roe V Wade to be overturned so each State can decide what's best for their citizens" was nothing but bullshit and now the government has the final say?

She got a small win with the money laundering behind that stupid "They Persisted!" children's book series about famous strong women she "helped create."

Posted by: Oldcat
You would be wrong. It is very easy to transmit a virus and the better run farms take great extent to keep from outside sources transmitting viruses to livestock. Most ban outside visitors from other farms, sales personnel, etc. from visiting the confinement houses. Because once the disease gets into a confined flock, it can be disastrous.
In part, that is why China repeatedly is and was a source for many livestock viruses that jumped the gap to humans. They literally live with their pigs, chickens, etc. Thus, aerial spread viruses such as flu due to proximity and dose (along with smoking, poor ventiliation, etc) create a petri dish for raising viruses.
But, there is also the problem with vaxx. Marek's disease is an example where a vaxx in the 70's created a dependency on continued vaxx.
By interfering with survival of the fittest, the vaxx for Mareks created a vax dependency where non vaxxed chickens die as it has destroyed native immunity to Mareks.

Most of the laws are not too bad, but they require access to "free range" and that can be a problem because chickens like staying protected close to the nest.
My solution is to require a photo of the "battery" or cage that the eggs come from on the package.
Let the public decide what they want to buy. Many of the modern cages look brutal, and I would not want them eggs. Maybe that would help.

There other shenanigans going on in an effort to confiscate property that started the week after the fires were put down. What the municipality did is require property owners to use the City designated debris removal services only. These limited entities (chosen by the City) are over charging. It gets tacked onto the Property tax invoice. Refusal to pay allows the city to put a lien on the property after condemning for safety reasons. Long term refusal results in an auction (in which developers swoop in and grab prime property).

When I used to travel to China and had chickens at home, I always spent a few weeks isolating myself from my birds in case I picked up some weird Chinese bird flu.
And yes, wild birds do take a lot of interest in chickens and in the chickens food. I once had a blue heron try to, ahem, get a little too friendly with one of my hens. I was not too pleased.
I agree, it is a trade off. Birds outside are much more likely to come in contact with wild birds and other vectors for disease than birds in a warehouse are.

I never raised chickens commercially, but from what I understand from people who have done so, "organic" is a third party label (like the good housekeeping stamp of approval or whatever), that has strict and pedantic regulations and is not worth getting involved in for most farmers. For example, if a cow cuts her leg on a fence, you are not allowed to give her antibiotics. So you either see if she heals on her own or dies from infection. Obviously that's a waste of money and meat and most people would be fine with eating beef that got proper medical treatment.
The issue is the routine use of hormones and antibiotics and vaccines and everything else thats mixed in with commercial feed. That shit gets in our food supply.
Plus the inhumane treatment of animals in factory farms is pretty gross to a lot of people (me included).

Let the public decide what they want to buy. Many of the modern cages look brutal, and I would not want them eggs. Maybe that would help.
Posted by: bob (moron incognitus)
You would find those far better than pictures from slaughterhouse for animals.
The should be whether or not the food is healthy and nutritious. Farmers have made great strides in the US to do so. Not so much for figuring out the optimal happyness of animals apart from gross calculations of yield aka weight on animals or the proportion of egg laying. Stressed animals of any sort fail to put on weight, don't lay eggs, don't give milk, don't breed. It is nature's way of self limiting the population.
I see the same talk by urban and suburban types regarding hunting. Then they get involved in whether or not some animal should be hunted.
Nature is often shocking cruel, violent, and absent of anything other than the law of the jungle. It ain't Disney out there. And one of the cruelest fate is not the gunshot that kills Bambi's mother but the relentless effects of starvation and disease when you ban it.

I didn't really answer your question though. Yes, it will likely be more expensive to raise animals how they were raised prior to the introduction of mass factory farming.
How much more expensive? It's hard to say. We can look to European countries and compare our prices to theirs, but there are a lot more factors at play.

Commercial operations have the greatest incentive of all to avoid animal cruelty--it affects their profits.
One finds far more animal cruelty and neglect among the general populace for domestic animals and lazy backyard farmers not raising for a profit.
Animal abandonment, starvation, and neglect on spending for medical care, etc. are common.
PETA itself is famous for slaughtering dogs, cats, or whatever comes within its grasp because dead animals don't consume their donations. HSPCA is another horrible organization.

Same with raw milk. I get it was necessary to pasteurize milk for big cities in the 1900s to prevent diseases spreading. But modern milking techniques make it safer! And they say there are nutrients killed off in the pasteurization process.
Supposedly raw milk is better for gut health, reduces allergies, reduces asthma, has more nutrients, etc. Fine. Let people decide if they want it, and what farms to get it from.

===========
Not really. You are putting animals into human terms which is unpersuasive itself. They ain't humans. So you can feel free to not consume animals anytime that you like or even food.
FWIW, By the time of the ACW, slavery was unprofitable except to a) sell new slaves westward, and b) cotton. Those that trained a slave to serve as skilled labor faced the real possibility of them fleeing to a free state as Frederick Douglass did. Those that allowed literacy, etc. of their slaves made them more human.
One of the problems that ended up draining a lot of eastern plantations was the soil was exhausted, their labor force aging, and Southern laws compelled slave owners to keep old slaves kept up with food, etc. The old solution before the 1820-30's was manumitting them when they aged. South though restricted that due to fears of a large free black population so the only thing left for older plantations was to breed slaves. The import ban, soil exhaustion via cotton, and western lands helped with that awful market.

Blonde Morticia, you are so right. And I'm sure the CGI employees are doing the pushing too. "You're talents are SO wasted here, Chelsea! You should run for office!"
I think deep in their souls, these political nebo babies and minor celebs WANT to matter. They know they lead useless lives. I think the divine in us craves purpose. Unfortunately the liberals have taught her since childhood to use that divine spark of purpose in a twisted way: to grift, steal, and desire to dominate/bully others.
Did you see that Charlize Theron has an African charity she named AFTER herself? The egos are too much.

Most farmers markets are fake nowadays. If the produce is uniform and pretty; if there's any barcode stickers; if the booth has stacks of branded produce boxes etc. Then they are resellers who buy produce from the same wholesaler as your local grocery chain.

More Left-Wing Terrorism: Four Arrested for Throwing Spike-Strips In Front of ICE Vehicles
The Democrat media continues to avoid reporting on this, and Democrat politicians continue avoiding condemning it or even acknowledging it.
They think they can duck the issue because their media allies are covering it up. They're living in the past. The leftwing media is dying and no one goes to them for actual news any longer.Bill MeluginCHIRLA is the "human rights" (open borders lunatic) organization that receives government funds to organize and lead violent insurrections against the government.
@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Border Patrol releases names & photos of suspects accused of using devices to spike their vehicles in LA today. The suspects were in possession of a tote bag w/ CHIRLA branding on it that had more spikes in it. CHIRLA is the major anti-ICE activist network in LA, and it has received $34 million in taxpayer funding. Law enforcement sources tell me that one of the suspects is transgender. They are all now facing felony charges.
The various Democratic-aligned groups helping to fuel the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement uprising in Los Angeles are well funded and part of a coordinated operation despite organizers' efforts to make them appear spontaneous and grassroots. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, one of the activist organizers at the center of the Los Angeles protests, received millions in taxpayer dollars through government grants, including federal funding for immigration assistance services, a Washington Examiner review found.The spike-strips were carried in a CHIRLA bag:
Formed in 1986, CHIRLA is a 501(c)(3) legal services provider helping illegal immigrants, including those convicted of crimes, avoid deportation. CHIRLA informed criminally convicted immigrants of California's Proposition 47, which downgraded and resentenced certain crimes. Under this 2014 state statute, felonies involving drug possession, fraud, and theft were classified as misdemeanors instead. "Prop 47 could help clean your criminal record," CHIRLA previously advertised, noting that noncitizens with criminal convictions may be deported. According to CHIRLA's tax filing for fiscal 2023, the charity reported receiving approximately $34 million in government grants that year, up from $12.4 million in grant money in 2022. Grant records show the Department of Homeland Security, the federal agency CHIRLA is protesting, has awarded the anti-deportation group with several six-figure grants since 2014 as part of a citizenship and assimilation program that financially supports organizations "actively working to remove barriers to naturalization." Categorized under "Citizenship Education and Training," the DHS grants totaling $1.2 million to CHIRLA were earmarked for "citizenship instruction and naturalization application services." On X, a DHS spokeswoman said the Trump administration cut off CHIRLA's federal funding in March, including nixing nearly $101,100 remaining of a two-year, $450,000 grant yet to be paid out. According to a termination letter addressed to CHIRLA, the DHS determined that "the scope of work performed under this award no longer effectuates the program goals and the Department's priorities." CHIRLA was accordingly instructed to cease all federally funded activities carried out under the auspices of the award. CHIRLA has also received a significant amount of taxpayer funding from the state of California, according to a Washington Examiner review of statewide grant records. In 2023, the state's Department of Social Services awarded CHIRLA about $3 million for an initiative providing free legal services to immigrants, such as application assistance in "cases seeking immigration remedies," i.e., deportation relief. Since at least 2020, CHIRLA has been granted $3 million each fiscal year through this legal assistance program. In 2022, CHIRLA received $1.37 million from California's social services department, specifically to provide pro bono defense services in removal proceedings. ... CHIRLA, which is aiming to raise $65 million in funds for its new headquarters, also solicits donations online through ActBlue, the Democratic Party's primary fundraising platform, which is under federal investigation for facilitating a number of suspicious foreign transactions.

They live in a fantasy world in which they're the brave resistance protected by the PTB. As such, they think they're invulnerable. I mean, heck, some idiots tried to set a trap and gun down a bunch of officers. Then another guy assumed ambient air temperature after firing on ICE officers. Now this.

Wiki: A caltrop (also known as caltrap, galtrop, cheval trap, galthrap,[1] galtrap, calthrop, jackrock or crow's foot[2][3]) is an area denial weapon made up of usually four, but possibly more, sharp nails or spines arranged in such a manner that one of them always points upward from a stable base (for example, a tetrahedron).

Spike strips are a different device.
They're rolled up rubber mats, usually the length of the width of a road, with lots of little spikes coming out of them to cause many tire punctures. They're thrown out right before a car passes over them, then pulled back in.
Caltrops are, well, what you see above. The professionally made ones are all metal, obviously, but using garden hoses and nails also works.

And that makes it much worse for them - since a felony was committed under Texas law (shooting the cop), and since a man was killed during the commission of that felony (their co-conspirator) each one of them, being part of that conspiracy, can be charged with Felony Murder in state court.

Release what files? We were just old that there is no list and that there are no videos.
Are they just talking about the already mostly public files they used in Ghislaines trial?
Why is this such a fucking moving target?
CIA files. We want the files that the CIA has (or had before they were incinerated to protect people) on Jeffrey Epstein.
Not court transcripts from Ghislaine's trial.

"ALVARADO, Texas (KLTV) - Gov. Greg Abbott has announced a $10,000 reward for a suspect wanted as part of a DPS Blue Alert in connection with the July 4 attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in North Texas.
During the attack on the facility, an Alvarado Police Officer was shot and wounded in the neck.
Song is described as an Asian male, approximately 5 feet, 6 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair. He should be considered armed and dangerous, authorities said.
In addition to the state reward, the FBI is offering up to $25,000, bringing the total reward amount up to $35,000."

My point is I'm less interested in what Jeffrey Epstein was up to in his debased personal life, and more interested in who he worked for and who he was blackmailing.
In other words, I'll stipulate that there were videos of older men having sex with young girls. Those don't need to be released.
But we need to know who those older men were, and who was sponsoring / protecting / paying Epstein.
And I don't think the FBI has those answers. The CIA would, though.

I think you're missing the bigger picture here.
It would appear that our intel agencies, working with foreign intel agencies, were using Epstein and Maxwell (and I'm sure others) to recruit young American girls in to a prostitution ring, so that Epstein could pimp those girls out to the ruling elite in the US and UK, if not around the world, and thus have major blackmail material on those people.
That should be the biggest story of the last 50+ years. It's evidence of an attempted (successful?) coup by our Intel agencies and Deep State against our elected officials and other institutions.

======
Because frankly it involves US and foreign intel agencies acting on US soil and the FBI ignoring it.
MI-6 was definitely involved because Princes of the realm don't go anywhere without their security services handlers. Epstein himself was linked to Bill Barr's father, Les Wexner from whom Epstein got a prime NYC townhouse for ops plus got to run Wexner's fortune as an untrained hedge fund manager, Wexner himself had a shady rise to wealth and is associated with the MEGA group of oligarchs who are quite open about their support for a certain Mideast country with its own potent intel forces, and then you have the Clowns In America.
So, you have the premier law enforcement agency, the FBI, and the DoJ putting pressure on Epstein's original prosecutor (Acosta) on behalf of the intel agencies. Acosta admitted such during his confirmation hearings under oath for Sec. of Labor.
Then you have Bill Barr as AG, Wray as FBI chief, intentionally blowing the investigation of NYC townhouse, Pedo Island, and his NM ranch.

The Epstein saga is far from over—and now, thanks to Judicial Watch, we know the Department of Justice and the FBI are still scrambling to “locate” key records related to the disgraced financier and alleged sex trafficker.
Despite issuing public statements claiming there is no client list, no blackmail evidence, and no reason for further disclosure, the agencies are now backpedaling under oath. According to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, “They are sending out contradictory messages: telling the American people that no Epstein material will be released, while telling the federal court… that the Epstein FOIA review is proceeding.”

There is no specific federal mention of caltrops.
In CA, Possession of caltrops, spike strips, and other "tire deflation devices" is a misdemeanor. Using them in a crime is a felony.
I'm sure the LA DA will be charging them real soon now.

The administration generally has constructed a very good framework for maximizing export of illegals with minimal effort or trouble, combo of disincentives/incentives for self-removal.
The obvious yuuuge missing part of this is enforcement against employers. Imagine the additional pressure for self-removal if employers had to start obeying the law, and quickly stopped hiring illegals. Would probably equal or surpass all the existing pressure. The "W-2" illegals are a much much much bigger problem - though a different kind of problem - than the criminals and gangs. It is that phenomenon that has wreaked economic and social havoc for decades.

I think this kind of thing (honey pots) pre-dates George Bush's time with the CIA, but it wouldn't surprise me to see his fingerprints on any of these operations.
Also, an interesting side-story here, but in the Nixon library (IIRC), one of the JFK researchers found an FBI memo from 1963 recording that "George Bush from the CIA" was briefed on the Kennedy assassination the day after Kennedy was shot. If true, that would mean the Bush's were way more involved in the CIA and for much longer than publicly acknowledged. (to be fair, GHWB, when confronted with that, said "must have been another George Bush" and someone did find another George Bush working a lowly job at the CIA at that time, so it's not exactly definitive proof)

Most of Russia is in Asia, as is Iran, and India. Using the term Asian to refer exclusively to those people formerly referred to as Oriental is stupid.
It should also be noted that there are distinct physical differences between Japanese, Chinese, and Korean although most white folks probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless they'd spent a good bit of time around members of all of those groups.

The military grade HE just gives you more destructive power on a smaller footprint. You would be amazed at the shit these morons used to make IED’s and AP devices. There aren’t a lot of the chemical precursors laying around in some of these countries so old artillery shells, etc. initially did the job. When that ran low the shitheads in Iran started shipping them the know how and higher grade HE to make EFP’s. It’s one reason I was hoping that Trump just a flattened that country.

Acosta said he was told from above to leave Epstein alone, he worked for intelligence.
Which means the CIA (and the CIA's proxies / sometimes allies like Mossad and MI6).
The FBI was of course part of the cover up (as was the justice department, under Acosta), but the people who would know the whole story are the people in the CIA, not the FBI.
And I would wager the FBI / DOJ went out of their way to avoid entangling any of the intelligence side of this in their investigation. And that's evidenced by Ghislaine's trial and the lack of naming co-conspirators and by the fact that none of the John's have been arrested.

For your edification, from wiki, Craig J. Spence Reagan WH aide who was well connected to a variety of power players in DC and NYC.
"Spence had also been linked to a White House guard named Reginald deGueldre, who allowed Spence and his friends to take late-night White House tours. Among the guests in Spence's midnight tours of the White House were two male prostitutes. A White House probe regarding the tours led the Secret Service to furlough three guards, but it was also publicly stated that the First Family's security was never threatened, and it was explained that security guards were allowed to give private tours. President George H. W. Bush was made aware of the scandal."

"A follow-up article featured reports from Spence's friends and guests indicating that Spence's home was wired up with extensive surveillance equipment and that he would attempt to entice guests into sexual encounters with prostitutes to use as blackmail. One male soldier reported that he had been enticed into an encounter with a female prostitute by Spence, who then used photos of the tryst in order to blackmail him into "beating up a couple of guys". When the soldier afterwards refused to have sex with Spence, Spence showed the pictures to the soldier's wife, leading to the couple's separation.
Spence entered a downward spiral in the wake of the exposé, increasingly involving himself with call boys and crack. He disappeared briefly, evading government agents who wanted to subpoena him to testify about the Vinson prostitution ring. Spence made headlines again after his arrest on July 31, 1989, at the Barbizon Hotel on East 63rd Street in Manhattan for criminal possession of a firearm and criminal possession of cocaine.

I read the background - it comes from the fact that there's a guy who has a small cloudseeding contract in South Texas, over 100 miles away from Kerr County. It was made to add some rain to the local farmers in a very dry area. He dropped a small amount of silver iodide in some local clouds that morning, and its reported that this resulted in about 1/2 inch of rain in a 2 or 3 square mile area. Hundreds of miles away from the far bigger storm system to the north of him, which was the remains of Tropical Storm Barry.

During the same interview Spence claimed that the surveillance equipment at his home had been set up by "friendly" intelligence agents. Rumors of Craig's ties to the CIA dated back to his Vietnam correspondent days, and the CIA was also speculated to be one of the sources of his wealth.

Rockefellers and Dulles's are the names we usually see in the early days of the modern deep state, but some version of the "deep state" clearly existed prior to those assholes.

And in the case of name similarities, pick the most wealthy and or powerful.
What we do not have is NYC names because easy to slip in and out of Epstein's horror house and his secretive NM property we know even less about.
Posted by: whig at July 10, 2025 01:54 PM (ctrM5)
We have names of people who were on Epstein's plane, true.
But all of those people have claimed they just hopped on a plane and did nothing wrong. And that may be true. Epstein was a big networker and threw around money / plane rides to make connections.
And as you say, that list would not include people who arrived at his NYC place or New Mexico or FL place (or even little st james) on another mode of transportation.
For this blackmail operation to work, there would have to be a "list" (in some form) of people being blackmailed.
And I would expect that that "list" exists at Langley, and probably not with the FBI.

How demeaning and dehumanizing it is to joke about people getting eaten by alligators. And that a lot of the people joking about it have pro Jesus messages on their profiles. She adds:
"If you've ever wondered how Hitler did it...how he convinced ordinary, church oriented, law abiding citizens to go along with his plans...it began with dehumanizing people."
Lighten up, Sharon the Karen, it's just a silly joke. Geez, liberals have turned into such humorless scolds.

Karl was a hothead whose brother was killed by John McClane at the beginning of the movie; rode him down a flight of stairs in a headlock and brothers neck got broke.
Karl went apesh*t several times trying to get McClane; they had McClane cornered and Karl was having a field day shooting up the office on full auto. Gruber had to get his attention because Karl WASN'T LISTENING. So he repeated emphatically SHOOT THE GLASS because Karl was a little bang bang crazy. Perfectly logical scene.

Justice will always be imperfect and absent in this world. Like even the Nuremberg and other war trials failed to rectify hideous perpetrators and fellow travelers in WWII. Werner von Braun certainly knew and used slave labor to make his rockets and purposefully targeted civilians. Albert Speer, provided all that slave labor to businesses which are still running in Germany or Japan today. Businesses like Bayer, and Mauser, for example, are still making money. Swiss banks helped hide stolen wealth from European Jews for decades afterwards for profit.
Operation paperclip run by Allan Dulles himself brought in NotSees for US government employment to beat the Russians. The full extent of commie traitors in the US government during the FDR, Truman, and Ike administration never was revealed despite the Venona Papers revealing how deep the rot existed.
All we can do is fight the good fight in our own lives.

well in real world terms they had to cue in the audience, so they needed English.
And in the movie terms, I can see Hans using English might well jar him out of berserker mode and back onto the needs of the mission.

Yes. I am really sick of "Climate Change" being mentioned repeatedly about fossil mass extinctions from 400 million or so years ago. It might be even true, but I suspect that it is getting to be a requirement.
45 years ago I was very suspicious of the 'Meteor Impacts Everywhere' craze starting then were every blip on a curve was blamed on a mystery asteroid impact. They even had a crap curve trying to fit a 26 million year cycle onto it. It didn't look like a good fit.

Six Secret Service Agents Suspended Due to Failures at Butler Assassination Attempt
They're being suspended without pay. They're not being fired, but when they return to work, they will have "diminished operational responsibilities."Six members of the Secret Service have been suspended for failures related to last year's assassination attempt against President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa. The suspensions for the six agents ranged from 10 to 42 days, and they won't be paid while on leave, Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn told CBS News on Wednesday. The agents will not be fired, but upon return to work, they will be placed in roles with diminished operational responsibility. "We aren't going to fire our way out of this," Quinn told the outlet. "We're going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation."I think you're giving up too quickly on "firing our way out of this."
... A scathing Senate report on the assassination attempt released in September determined that "multiple foreseeable and preventable planning and operational failures by [Secret Service] contributed" to Crooks' ability to carry out the deadly shooting. "These included unclear roles and responsibilities, insufficient coordination with state and local law enforcement, the lack of effective communications, and inoperable [Counter-Unmanned Aircraft] systems, among many others," the damning report read. A second assasination attempt against Trump took place two months later at the president's Palm Beach, Fla., golf course. Quinn insisted that the Secret Service is "totally accountable for Butler." "Butler was an operational failure and we are focused today on ensuring that it never happens again," he said.

1) the secret service is nowhere near as "elite" of a protective detail as is claimed, and it's just been blind luck (and lack of attempts) that have kept (most) presidents from being shot or killed
or
2) The events of Butler PA were a huge aberration from normal procedures, in which case, it looks like the secret service was trying to get Trump killed.
Both scenarios have some pretty huge implications.

Both. Obammy years and DEI caused a lot of problems for the agency as well as moving the agency to the blob Homeland Security under idiot GWB.
Second, the order for Trump to get the third rate protection detail occurred suddenly after one of the Bidens (Jill mebbe) demanded top level security which caused Trump's normal team to be reassigned.
A lot of the Deep State are Dems/commies in the agencies and my guess is that whoever told Jill to go somewhere had the clout to likewise ensure Trump not to get good protection at Butler.
If we view DC as typical monarchies (albeit elected), the amount of money and power is easily worth killing people in order to retain those. And often the monarchs are reluctant to pry too much into those plots because it would end up destabilizing the government (see the Poison plot by Mdm Montespan in Louis XIV's reign).

Agreed. I think it is well within the realm of possibilities that someone maneuvered this scenario. (ie: putting the most incompetent / DEI hires in charge of this event, knowing that they'd fuck it up. Then when Trump survived the attempt, going in to CYA mode.)
But, for the same reason we'll never know the full story of Epstein or JFK, RFK, etc., I think we will likely never know the full story of what happened in Butler. As you say, too much power and money at stake.

There are several protection companies that also provide training for the protectees. The one I heard about also shoots the protectee with wax bullets if they get it wrong, just to drive home the point.
I suspect Trump went through it three or four times to get it right. He has that sort of personality.

Employee disciplinary files are exempt from FOIA. And suspending them is actually a good precursor to firing them later for bad performance reviews. Other than Reductions in Force like in other agencies, if you want to fire a federal employee, they have substantial due process rights, even more if the firing 'stigmatizes' them (that gives them liberty due process claims as well as property). So it ain't as simple to fire ground level employees as those primarily involved in upper levels under Humphrey's Executor or Myers cases.

This is true. As a former employee of a federal contractor I worked with government personnel that routinely exceeded their statutory authority and interpreted contracts in an extremely dubious manner (always to the government's benefit of course) They were eventually caught and called out on it by their superiors-- after our company took several expensive hits of course. The folks that were caught were allowed to retire or jump to other agencies where I assume they continue screwing over contractors to this day.

To defend the Catholic church here a bit -- it was not THAT widespread, and the church treated the, ahem, incidents as moral failings, rather than legal failings.
The priests confessed their sins, did penance, and were absolved. The Church tried to move them to places where they wouldn't be tempted to sin again.
Not GREAT, and not how the church treats child diddling now, but it's not like the church was purposely trying to protect child molesters, even if that ended up being the outcome.
Unlike the government, who does purposely try to protect all kinds of miscreants and criminals, including the child molesting teachers who make up a not-insignificant part of the Dem Deep State through their very powerful unions.

I think the story was that the SS agents felt they were being overcharged for the services provided, and felt that it was a bit of a shakedown by the whores.
Which it probably was.
But, agreed, that is the risk you run when you're a secret service agent protecting the president and decide to use your off-duty time to have sex with whores in the third world who just see you as a gigantic walking dollar sign. Unlike the whores back home who truly care about you, because you're different than the other guys.

I suspect the pattern was first formed when affirmative action became a priority in federal hiring.

1) the secret service is nowhere near as "elite" of a protective detail as is claimed, and it's just been blind luck (and lack of attempts) that have kept (most) presidents from being shot or killed
or
2) The events of Butler PA were a huge aberration from normal procedures, in which case, it looks like the secret service was trying to get Trump killed.
Both scenarios have some pretty huge implications.
I still cling to my completely amateur theory based on what i've seen the secret service do previously to the lapses at Butler; it is so outside what they've allowed, it had to be deliberate. My pet theory is the advance agent was in on it as was Mayorkas. People who play video games could have secured that perimeter better.

The planning and execution of the plan were the biggest problems that day. Unless she was part of the planning, she probably shouldn't be suspended.

That's the person who would make the strategic calls on the ground. And, that person would have quite a bit of influence on whether certain steps were taken to assure safety of their charge. It is conceivable that a single person in such a position could purposefully ignore all the warnings, and actually enhance the potential for an assassination attempt like the one that occurred.
One could make the conjecture that these suspensions reflect peon agents merely did what they were told instead of doing their jobs...allowing whoever was in charge to run the show in a negative fashion.
10 years ago, I'd chastise myself for coming up with something like this. Pure fiction. Would never happen. Now, I think it's likely.

If I were Trump, none of these people would be allowed anywhere near me.

or
2) The events of Butler PA were a huge aberration from normal procedures, in which case, it looks like the secret service was trying to get Trump killed.
Both scenarios have some pretty huge implications.
A third possibility is their bench is shallow. Maybe they have two or three teams that are really good, but the benchwarmers like agent FUPA are terrible.
It's entirely possible the top brass at SS knew this and were intentionally putting their good teams on Jill and Joe and others, ensuring the benchwarmers would be put on Trump's detail.

Because you don't fire the defensive line because the offense failed to score a touchdown. In fact, I think one of the male SS agents who prominently appears in the iconic fist-pump photo was elevated to Trump's personal detail at Trump's request.

It should never have been possible for some guy in Pittsburgh to fuck up that badly, if that's truly what happened.
If the SS is truly as incompetent as they were that day in PA, and the only reason all of our presidential candidates haven't been assassinated is due to blind luck and the fact that there aren't that many potential assassins living amongst us, then the entire organization needs to be torn down and rebuilt.
We're supposed to just accept that it's normal practice that blindingly obvious places for snipers to hide aren't covered, SS agents don't go on sloped roofs, SS and local police aren't able to communicate with each other, there is no coordination between and amongst agencies, SS agents need to call tech support to use their drones, and local cops (who have the manpower) are told to watch the traffic or sit in an office instead of covering the crowd, etc. etc.?
What if an actual foreign power wanted to assassinate our leaders? Seems like it would be incredibly easy to do.

One of the central problems of governance is how do you ensure the fidelity of agents acting on your behalf to take your best interests at heart. Same for individuals as it is for government, business, or even the church.
Effective sanctions requires something like the Mafia Omerta and made men. That is the agent must be personally responsible even unto death, jail, and financial ruin, for failure and non- compliance with directives from the principle.

They wouldn't even have to do that. The Sheik quoted in the piece says a large part of OA security are members of his clan. They could take control with minimal bloodshed.
Personally, while I understand the hesitation, I think it's an idea worth considering. We know the PA to be corrupt and parasitic and the Sheiks see the time is ripe to get rid of it.

About 2 months ago, there was a rumor going around that Trump had hired Christian Craighead, "Obi Wan Nairobi", the SAS guy who saved hundreds and smoked the Somali terrorist cocksuckers who attacked the DusitD2 complex in Nairobi a few years ago. All without orders or permission from the Limey government, which pissed them off enough that they threatened to court martial him, and wouldn't sign off on the book he wrote about the incident.
Personally, I doubt that it's true, but I can see Trump going that route.

A lot depended on when it was. When I started on October of 82, it wasn't that bad. The line went out to work the fields and came back in in the afternoon tired. By summer of 83, it was fights daily. They were hot, tired and poor impulse control. By '85, they had pretty much done away with the inmates working the fields growing crops and weeding. Fights went down to a couple a week. Stabbings were usually over a big rift between gangs and were rare. Rapes were few. Most was consensual. I caught more consensual than ever a rape.
Biggest reason why prisons ran smooth? The powers that be could really fuck them up.
FAFO.
24/7 lockdown in your cells & sack lunches & dinners. Same as after riots. My first day on a new unit, they'd had a gang fight/stabbing the night before. Unit stayed locked down for 45 days until they figured the bad blood between the two Mexican gangs burned out.

If the SS is truly as incompetent as they were that day in PA, and the only reason all of our presidential candidates haven't been assassinated is due to blind luck and the fact that there aren't that many potential assassins living amongst us, then the entire organization needs to be torn down and rebuilt.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at July 10, 2025 12:54 PM (uCjyK)
Its even worse that that. Lets just grant that the SS at the time was a clusterfuck. This should still have been fully unknown to a potential assassin, especially the noob with no contacts Crooks. But he came the same day that the A team was pulled off the case? The chances of a shooter at a rally is low, since in all his other rallies they haven't seen or caught one.
So we have to buy that the shooter managed to noodle about with a scope and weapons on the site for hours without anyone seeing him and acting on it. The crowd noticed him, many times over. But the SS and LEO did not?
The other half of this equation is that some person neutered the SS AND another person vectored in Crooks.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
In Los Angeles, landscapers as well as framers are not showing up to job sites as President Donald Trump is carrying out his agenda and crack down on illegal immigration in cities around the nation. According to Bloomberg, LA, which erupted in riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) earlier last month after ICE was conducting operations in the city, has been seeing low staffing in some industries that have relied on immigrant labor such as construction and landscaping. “We don’t have enough people to staff the work and we’re scrambling to figure it out,” said Arturo Sneider, the CEO at Primestor, a real major estate management company in California and two other states. “It’s triggering delays."
Well Arturo...tough shit. Pay a decent wage to legal workers and you will have your pick of legal employees. In fact, why don't you sponsor a job fair and some training programs for high school students who need jobs. Hell, expand that to every high school in the country. So we need framers? Great! I've done it, and it isn't that hard to learn. And a few weeks of instruction on how to run a leaf blower may even be within the skillset of some of our public school teachers! These are entry-level jobs and are just perfect for people just starting in the job market. America doesn't have a labor problem. There are plenty of people to fill these jobs, but not at the artificially low wages that the GOPe and the globalists prefer. Labor is governed by basic economic laws, just like everything else. But if the legal wage is higher than the illegal wage, the labor market is distorted, and does not function normally. As for relief for certain industries? No. America has seen too much variability in the application of the law, and a generation or two of rigid and vigorous application of labor and immigration law will do wonders for our respect for our institutions, and begin to repair the horrid damage that illegal immigration has done to our country.

Working in meatpacking plants was a good union job until the 1990's.
Then the meatpacking companies figured out that illegals were a lot cheaper.
Now, ICE is denounced for deporting the hard-working employees at meatpacking plants.

It wouldn't surprise me if there really aren't enough citizens in the LA area to do the work. And the pay would have to be huge to get them to come to a place as expensive to live as LA.

But another aspect was the Social Security fraud - the illegal aliens apparently "passed" the system because their SSN info appeared legit. Mostly because they were using stolen numbers and info. So the I-9 or whatever came back as "Legit!" despite being far from it.
How many victims had their lives ruined because the IRS went after them? Wages garnished, refunds unfunded, even having to deal with courts when they didn't do a single thing wrong - someone else, who didn't even follow the law to get into the country, screwed them over.

============
Markets work wonders--e.g. if the task is too labor intensive at wage rates, either prices for that task go up causing buyers to question whether it is needed or in the long run--high labor costs often lead to mechanization and changes in cultivation patterns.
Extensive gardening in HOAs, business parks, and all sorts of real estate land grooming requirements require a cheap ass level of labor that is only sustainable with cheap labor pricing.
Move to zero scaping, etc. reduced plantings of screens so mowing is easier, and so on is one example of that.
Agriculture needs chemicals, etc. and labor, grooming people's home lawns much less so and excessive yard wastes from fertilizers, lawn chemicals, etc. run off into the various ditches, creeks, etc. into a lot of drinking water for suburbs and cities.
Farmers are more careful about using those chemicals, in part due to price+application, and second, because they can negatively affect soils.

This is before doing any of these, which Trump can do:
1) Requiring all Section 8 landlords to certify under penalty of perjury that their tenants are citizens/Lawful Permanent Residents
2) Requiring all gov. contractors to certify under penalty of perjury that all their employees are citizens/LPR
3) Requiring all Medicare/Medicaid providers to certify all recipients are citizens/LPR
And that's before announcing that every business has 6 months to confirm all employees are citizens/LPR, after which the owners and executives will be arrested if not in compliance.
None of these require a single ICE arrest.

I suspect most of the 10% or so of illegals that work have longish commutes. They certainly can't afford to live in the blue enclaves they work in.

‘ Someone estimated there were between 15 and 20 million of them.’
No doubt someone can make an argument where illegals are needed for this job or that and I would agree with them.
But all of those arguments fell away for me when I compare it to the numbers above. There’s no problem in this country where the right answer is to import an entire country of people.

People who choose not to work may not know what calculus is, but they are performing a calculus of sorts to determine if the meager bump in income they can get by taking an entry level job is worth losing that many hours of free time. Welfare reform would help. Capping how many years you can draw welfare; if you can never hold a job, that is a disability situation, jump through those hoops. Also they should not take away a dollar in benefits per dollar earned. Change the rules so you can keep your bennies and work say 10 hours a week at a very starter job to prove to employers you know how to show up; then do a sliding percent reduction, and have the social workers explaining that "with the earned income tax credit you will get that money when you file your taxes.

Reduce the pressure on welfare rolls by having a job market for the former layabouts. Late Clinton years had low inflation, high labor participation rates, and mostly native employment due to Gingrich TANF rules, etc.
Don't like Clinton much but it is true what they said, a job earning cash is the best social welfare program out there. Strong job markets reduce crime, reduce drug use, and reduce other bad habits like generational welfare families.
That means, however, you keep out foreign labor to compete.
Every nation that lets in cheap labor from abroad is guaranteed higher crime, more internal disorder, and shittier living conditions for the natives. Those that keep immigration barriers high, even if the society is relatively poor, the civil society can compensate sustaining low crime, and decent living conditions--Japan is an example.

We need to reinstate the ban on corporations being able to buy back their stock.
Prior to that, they either had to pay dividends or make capital investments with their profits.
Now, they can take those profits, buy the stock, inflating the stock price from two directions, and the CEOs cash massive bonuses/stock options.
But, that all requires ever and ever cheaper labor because they no longer invest in physical facilities, limping along with 30-40+ year old equipment.
Cheap, unlimited immigrant labor drives down all wages, not just the physical labor wages.

Kids can do landscaping, but the market is so dominated by quick cheap landscapers kids really don't break into as much. It just isn't efficient. Why hire a kid who could do it for a summer or a year - but he will then move on - only to know you will have to find another one the following year.
Cheap landscaping service is just easy. Likely with illegal labor, but it is easy and efficient for everyone.
But if that labor goes away and the cost goes up, then it definitely opens up the market for teenagers.
Good luck getting a teenager on a construction project with today's safety and insurance.

A) none of affirmative action Jackson's staffers stopped her from promulgating nonsense, meaning they either dared not, or could not.
B) none of the other leftists justices intervened in her writing her opinion, meaning they aren't colluding with each other, or the asshole just wouldn't listen.
So maybe Soto gave her an audible slap as punishment for not listening to directions?

The correct answer is nobody wants to work anymore. People should be grateful just to have a job working 80 hours a week and getting paid for 40 at a rate that adjusted for inflation was entry-level in 1986 and not adjusted for inflation was entry-level in 1998.

If it is still more profitable to borrow money at the institutional rate, and then buy out companies, strip them, and use them as cash cows until they go into receivership, as opposed to buying companies and making money while operating it while paying off the loan, the rates are still too low.
Cheap credit allows Blackrock et al to buy up all the housing to rent out at higher rates because no one can afford the Blackrock price to buy. The people screaming th loudest about the rates are the hedge funds.

My personal guess is that Scotus rules against the president but allows Congress to legislate to exclude illegals as not subject to the jurisdiction thereof which would end them being able to claim natural born status. That allows the Court to avoid the wailing and denaturalizing of those prior to Congress passing such a law but allows the rule to apply prospectively.
That will be a major issue because it would be subject to a filibuster and not able to be included for reconciliation bills.

Back in the 90s, folks in my home town were commuting 80+ miles to the resort and ski area to the north to work landscaping jobs.
IIRC, the going rate was $15 an hour.
Inflation adjusted, that is near $33 an hour; almost $70k a year.
I bet that rate is still around $15/hr; inflation adjusted to 1990 would have been around $7 an hour.
And that no citizen is doing that work anymore.
That's how bad illegal immigration fucks over Americans
And the immigrants.

Court interdynamics is similar to Kremlinology. Simply put, it is a long term relationship that lasts longer than many of these justices' marriages until death or disability do they part.
We find out about a lot of the personal relationships decades later unless there is some sort of crisis like Justice Douglas trying to hold on as a justice. That crisis required all eight other justices threatening to support his impeachment if he did not resign because of senility and alcoholism.

Which will piss off Roberts. There's nothing he likes more than a unanimous decision.
If he can't get it anymore, is he happy with 8-1s or does he soften the overall stance and ends up getting grounds for 5-4 conservative majority decisions more frequently?

Courts in a long line of cases has proposed that Congress has plenary power over immigration and the few Robert's court decisions like Trump v. Hawaii have reiterated that. So relatively easy for Roberts, etc. to persuade the Court to do that.
Technically, as they have in criminal cases, they can apply grandfathering to prior cases where children born to illegals prior to Trump declaration are American citizens but those after are not. That requires more legal reasoning to support such a distinction.
A few times, the Court has simply ruled and left the political branches to fix the problem.
One such way would be that Congress will feel immense pressure if Scotus allowed Trump's declaration to stand to allow grandfathering of past pseudo natural born illegals in exchange for banning future pseudo natural born illegals.

Behold, a seely tender babe
In freezing winter night
In homely manger trembling lies,—
Alas, a piteous sight!
The inns are full, no man will yield
This little pilgrim bed,
But forced he is with seely beasts
In crib to shroud his head.
Despise him not for lying there,
First, what he is enquire,
An orient pearl is often found
In depth of dirty mire.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at July 10, 2025 10:05 AM (HZi96)
Weigh not his crib, his wooden dish,
Nor beasts that by him feed;
Weigh not his mother's poor attire
Nor Joseph's simple weed.
This stable is a prince's court,
This crib his chair of state,
The beasts are parcel of his pomp,
The wooden dish his plate.
The persons in that poor attire
His royal liveries wear;
The prince himself is come from heaven—
This pomp is prized there.
With joy approach, O Christian wight,
Do homage to thy king;
And highly prize his humble pomp
Which he from heaven doth bring.

By his birth, he demonstrates his love for us, but also for the beauty of God's creation, which exists for God's glory, and not for our pleasure or comfort.
Our weak and insufficient, but still appropriate, response to Christ's birth is to care deeply for everyone who is less fortunate than ourselves. By this we worship God and show our love for him.

The grand jury should have never indicted, the prosecutor should have never charged Mackey, the judge should have set aside the charges as a matter of law, the jury should have never convicted him, and the appellate courts sat on their ass on a patently unconstitutional violation of Mackey's 1st amendment rights for four years.
Everyone of those assholes should be ashamed and their money taken to compensate Mackey for a miscarriage of justice.

I doubt this will ever happen. Current government assistance covers some of the bases. Comparisons will be made to Covid-era STIM checks, which caused inflation.
Inflation caused as much by supply chain disruptions as anything else. And oligarchs arbitrarily raising price because of corporate greed.
If we could get UBI and Medicare for All that would be a great political accomplishment. This has actually been discussed about since the 80s. The day of automation, robots, and AI is going to replace almost everyone is here. Sadly, it won't happen until senate is apportioned by population.
Maybe UBI should be $20,000-$30,000 a year? More for Families. All that money would mostly feed Landlords, Supermarkets, and Pharmacies. The Economy would boom. Crime would go down significantly as people would not have to resort to desperate acts to survive. This is a decent policy...send to your elected officials

At 66 years old, one Sherman Oaks, California-based mom thought she'd be enjoying an empty nest with her husband. Instead, she's sharing her home with an unexpected roommate: her 27-year-old daughter. Since their 27-year-old moved back home in early 2024, the mother, who asked to remain anonymous to protect her daughter's identity, says she and her husband are spending close to $5,000 a month covering all of her daughter's living expenses. This includes up to $1,500 on food, $700 on transportation and $400 on her pet cat, the mother says.

Commies keep trying to recreate the dynamics of a loving family where the parents work to sustain their children.
From each according to their abilities, and to each according to their needs only works when you have a loving and mutually respectful relationship in a family. It rarely scales well unless mebbe monasteries, etc. where the participants are screened out for slackers, etc.

Karl Marx never bathed and had boils all over his body, was an alcoholic, had an unpaid maid whom he might have r*ped (he certainly got her pregnant, despite what Wikipedia says). He smoked so much it killed one of his babies (which he left in the family bed - the only one they had - because he was too lazy to get a job to afford to bury it), and he made his aristocratic wife depressed and turn to drink...

I can see your position but not the family situation as described above. For whatever reason, sometimes children return to their parent's home for a time (schooling, getting started on a job, etc).
But, for a parent to shove out a bunch of money in order to support a layabout that apparently does not want to work at 27 to support herself to the tune of thousands of bucks per month, not so much.

Are they saying there's no Epstein client list?
Or are they saying there's no Epstein client _blackmail_ list?
'Cause if the latter, it sounds like they are being hyper-technical.
Like, there's no list that goes something like:
"Prince Charles, 2 videos of sex with a young boy. Paying $100k per month."
Now, that's not to say that that list can't be built.
I'd also suggest that the biggest source of his income wasn't blackmail but accommodating their depravity with absolute, guaranteed discretion.
And if he was an IC asset, there's a big chance he had no idea, or was kept ignorant, of the blackmail side.
There is no Epstein blackmail list.

I didn't see the article but if the kids don't want to get a job after a reasonable amount of time looking then the parents should not be paying for them. We show our son the bills: "This is your health insurance, This is your car insurance " and say "We expect you to pay at least part of them. He also pays for the food for some kind of diet he's on to lose fat and gain muscle.

The Morning Report — 7/10 /25
But in a related story, as I will attempt to elucidate if you bear with me, at least this will make you smile:
Violent demonstrations against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations broke out near a courthouse in downtown San Francisco, California, on Tuesday. Video of the protest shows far-left demonstrators attempting to interfere with federal immigration enforcement action by barring the path of an ICE van and climbing onto its hood.At least two demonstrators can be seen in the video clinging to the ICE vehicle as it attempts to drive away, with one person falling off and another holding on as the van swerves sharply. Protesters, many wearing masks and keffiyehs, were also seen engaging in physical altercations with federal agents. “Holy f***ing s**t, frightening times, right?” a demonstrator can be heard exclaiming in the video before adding: “What the f**k have we gotten ourselves into?”Meanwhile, another protester who spoke with local San Francisco media, identified only as “Sorin,” stated that see was injured while attempting to block an ICE vehicle. “I was bleeding everywhere,” she said, adding: “They were brutal to those of us trying to exercise our rights and protect our community.”Good. "What the fuck have we gotten ourselves into?!" Helluva time to wake up, Genius! Now lick your wounds, and take it like a man (as perhaps your cellmate in D-Block will tell you as he bends you over in the prison shower). If only that would be the fate of John Brennan, James Comey (pronounced Cummy) and Clapper. Alas, At the very least as CBD and I pondered in the latest episode of the podcast,(linked here, in the sidebar and at the usual outlets noted below the exposure of their treasonous treachery will forever stain them and stand as a warning for future generations of a revived America. So, As Debbie Wasserman Schultz contemplates why no one condemns Zohran Mamdani and the turn that her Party is taking, and searches for a jackhammer to attempt to remove the encrusted godzilla semen from her hair, curious that she is not equally curious why no one, and not least of which her in this case, is condemning the attacks on ICE.
Is there a greater danger to a constitutional republic than an armed phalanx of nihilists, activated by the words of the leaders of the minority party, attempting to maim and kill government officials? For all their sanctimony about “protecting democracy” and “upholding the rule of law,” today’s Democrats have built a movement that selectively nullifies both. When they’re in power, they ignore the law, declining to enforce statutes they dislike, gutting immigration courts, and instructing executive agencies to slow-walk deportations. When out of power, they attempt to nullify the exercise of executive power through venue shopping, nationwide injunctions, institutional sabotage, and now, through ideological violence. It’s the same pattern every time: If voters elect someone they oppose, they launch impeachment proceedings or shop for a judge to block authority. If ICE agents do their jobs, they are branded as racists. If a president uses Article II powers to enforce the border, they call it fascism. It’s nullification by any means necessary—ballots, bench, or bullets. The difference between the Democrat party and the Jacobins is increasingly that of wardrobe and weaponry. The Democrats have spent years stoking this fire. They wrap their bombast in the language of compassion—but it’s calculated sabotage, and they know it.Lurker Extraordinaire, and Ace Cruetly Fanboi, Prof. Victor Davis Hanson states in his eloquent and accurate essay . . .
Unmoored from power and panicked by Trump’s momentum, the left lashes out—from Congress to campus to the street—with rage born of fear and fading influence.For sure, Trump's successes are a major factor in the lashing out by the Left we are witnessing. But Trump's policy successes hold up a mirror and serve to underscore the Democrat/Left's abject failures and destruction that have been going on for decades. And that is the real danger to the Democrats, it is an existential threat to their future as more and more people are awakened to this fact: that all of the pain, misery, suffering and waste of life and potential for well over 200 years is all the fault of the Democrat Party and the Leftist movement. Perhaps like the hapless bruised and baterred Antifa dupe above, more and more average Democrat voters are saying to themselves in their own quiet way "What the Fuck Have We Gotten Ourselves Into?!"
Trump, and please God a growing and unstoppable movement of American revival and renaissance that he started when he came down that escalator 10 years ago will eradicate Leftist progressivism and last until America's Quincentenary in 2276 and beyond. Amen. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!

VDH is on to something, but that last part may be too mildly stated. I think "impotence" is better than fading influence, impotence in the face of pitched battles against specific policies the left hates. They've failed to gain any popular traction so far, and it's killing them. They're left hating PDJT personally, because they convince themselves his personal political strength keeps the policies alive. If only they could get rid of Trump, or so they think, the policies would fail.

I can understand the historical attraction of Jews to the Democratic party. Most Jews emigrating to the US came from Eastern Europe and Russia, where pogroms, poverty and discrimination were rampant. Without a kind of mutual aid, their lot would have been even worse.
But that's not the Democratic party of today. The one today is all in with their new Muslim pals and the cause of the Palestinian murderers is their new banner. I don't know what, if anything, will change the attitude of the - if I may use the term - secular Jews.

At any rate, for people who are supposed to be smart, it hasn't made any sense for Jews to be Democrats for decades now. Give that ANOTHER "WTF"?
As best I can figure, Republicans were the hard core Christianity folks, with a fair amount of "Jews killed Christ" anti-Semitism in the mix. But for the last couple of decades at least, the Religious Right doesn't have the grip on the Republican Party that it used to, and the Democrats have become openly anti-Israel and pro-Islamist. The guys that want to bring old-fashioned pogromes to America are todays Democrats.

Weak minded people who have a Savior Complex are told that Gazans and MS-13 gang members are "Sparks of Divinity" so as the self-anointed Guardian Angels of these lesser creatures in need of Someone Speaking Out For Them, speaking which means violence, they justify their miserable, neurotic, chronic mental illness lives with lashing out at politically acceptable targets.
I'm trying to figure out why the Trump administration is OK with this violence. Given abandoning shoring up the budget, and now capitulating to the Globalists in feeding the Ukrainian Grift Machine, burying the Epstein Client List and failing to actually go after any bad actors, the Trump team apparently is a flash administration.

There is a recurring theme in US politics, certainly the Department of State among others, where they invariably choose the wrong side, and destabilize. Start wars, it would seem. And anyone not on the “Full Speed Ahead” bandwagon gets the Treatment. It might be relatively benign at first, but they will be eliminated one way or another.
I see the parallels with Donny J. “Two Scoops” Trump, President type, 1 ea. All the urbane sophisticates, the “usual suspects” had knives out for him from the start. Exact. Same. Playbook.

This country never had the racial hatred of Jews like Germany or the religious hatred like France, but, like in Britain, there was a deep social distain for Jews in the US. It was here a long time before WWII and it stayed a long time afterwards.

If by "investigating" you mean destroying evidence and spreading disinformation, they already have departments with that skill set in place.
One of the fall out conspiracies from this epic mis-management and aftermath of the Epstein case is that people are connecting the dots and painting a Fang Fang/Fartswell type honeypot relationship with Patel and his 18 years younger "Mossad" girlfriend.

MAGA literally wants to deport Mandami, so of course DSA focuses on fighting Democrats
Wouldn't it be nice if the DSA wasn't completely silent about MAGA? Most Dems are congratulating Mandami and fighting MAGA. As usual DSA cannot be bothered to admit MAGA is a threat. They have no interest in opposing Republicans, just Democrats.
The young want anti war candidates, and Mamdami had over 50,000 volunteers. He had an unprecedented volunteer campaign. Mamdani's policy positions should be the Democratic baseline. Workers above owners. Labor before capital. And really mean it and act on it instead of paying lip service while maintaining the status quo.
Mamdani has shown Dems how to win the young male vote and Trump supporters. But it's more important to do the bidding of donors for some Democrats.
We need a rebranding from "socialism", though. The term new-deal capitalism or social democracy?

Interesting times. What we know for sure is that Trump is the real deal. So we know that when he seems to deviate from the script that some sort of 5D chess thing is going on.
On the Ukraine, maybe Putin (who is really am anti-Globalist ally) is getting out of line, and it's a negotiation. Trump has suddenly pulled back on sending things to Ukraine before. As it is, he's been handing victory to Putin, because he knows Z will never seek peace.
They're obviously lying about Epstein. Probably, that means Epstein is alive, in witness protection, and there is a MASSIVE investigation afoot and they want to make the bad guys complacent.

Bongino actually did far more meaningful investigations when they payout was book royalties and fodder for his podcasts, but actually put him in a position of authority?

Again, its not our (meaning the West's) fight. This is a lovers quarrel that has been going on for centuries.
Z is a fraud puppet that was installed by the Deep State for the benefit of Bankers, MIC, Globalists et al. As we saw with CoViD, death is part of the kink, so when Trump says No More Deaths, the DS is taking that personally since that is what they want.
What pisses me off is that the US only makes 500 Patriot missiles a year, and many of those were cooked off in defense of US's foreign bases due to Israel's spat with Iran (that somehow I have to underwrite both sides of the fight).
Trump is emptying the US's ability to defend itself by giving that corrupt dictator Z the ability to keep the war going and kiling more people.
Trump is making America Last Again just like all of his predecessors.

Agreed. I'm not going to hold this against them as there are other things that are way more important to me.
As far as Loomer is concerned, Trump needs to stay far away from that loon.
I was expecting the article J.J. linked: "A Florida woman has been arrested after arriving at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club with a gun and “an urgent message” to be about Loomer , but it wasn't.

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV celebrated the newly composed “Mass for the Care of Creation” today, marking the first use of the liturgical texts he approved a few weeks ago.
......
Delivering a homily – comprised of a prepared text and initial off-the-cuff comments – Leo said that Francis’ writings are still relevant today: “In a world that is burning, both from global warming and from armed conflicts, which make Pope Francis’ message in his encyclicals Laudato si‘ and Fratelli tutti so relevant today.”

But we’ve been beaten down and demoralized, for decades now, where nothing ever happens to the perpetrators. Congress might have a hearing or two, yell at some DEI hire for an hour or two, and then it’s business as usual. “We Shall Never Speak Of This Again”. This is part of a deliberate strategy by the way. It is not a matter of incompetence per se. It is a conditioning process, a method of managing expectations. Normalize corruption and decline. “This is normal and nothing can ever be done about it”. What are you gonna do about it? Very effective.

It reminds me of when Rush tried to warn his listeners that nothing ever would or could come of Trump's "Lock Her Up" campaign rhetoric... there are promises that, if ever made flesh, would destroy the American government, and nobody is going to go there. Not yet, anyway.
Those cases are examples of why I also say that the swamp can't be drained, and meaningful reform of the Deep State is impossible - the Deep State is *the* State. And, as always - the problem isn't that the system is corrupt, it's that corruption is the system. To reform it is to destroy it, and Trump doesn't want to be the President who buried the Republic.

Why does everything have to be an extreme -- she's an exalted truth-teller or she's "grifter"? She's a sharp analyst and right more often than wrong. She came around to Trump through a process worth talking seriously, and helped him in his election. (Her filleting of the five legal cases against Trump were as good as any given by a Trump advocate.) She has not taken an adversarial position on Epstein at all, but has objectively noted the problems with Bondi's performance.

But, when you hear anyone saying they'll drain the swamp or take out the Deep State, please understand that's just chumming for voters, and it won't be happening.
Think of it this way: Giuliani and other Fed prosecutors said "we're out to destroy the Italian mafia," and they did.
Now, imagine if they'd said "we're out to reform the Italian mafia, and turn them into productive, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens." That would be ludicrous. It could never work. When you hear any Drain The Swamp talk, it's exactly that silly.

DOJ investigations are generally behind closed doors until they start filing in courts.
Most of the work is behind the scenes.
I have no opinion on Bondi because I assume most of the work in the DOJ is happening in ways that we cannot see, and good work before cases are actually brought before courts is stuff we shouldn't see.
Throw in the fact that hiring new career attorneys at the DOJ takes months...after political appointees have been appointed which took months for some (hell, the DC USA is still temporary).
Will it end up being no smoke and no fire? Or will it be the smoke was just never visible?
Only time will tell, and I'm not getting my panties in a bunch about it.

And Mom is always right and Dad is wrong and dumb because he doesn't agree with Mom and even the kids are smarter than dumbo dad!

I never had any particular regard for Bondi or Bongino. I identified the former as a careerist who had broken faith with the 2A time and again in Florida and was a compromise choice. As for Bongino, he seems like a good guy who reached his peak as a podcaster. I did have high expectations for Patel and did sing his praises. But I have not "demanded his removal." I simply observed that he appears to lack administrative/leadership skills. Bondi, however, does need to be cashiered.

Trust me that there are sentiment reading web crawlers out there that go through active opinion websites to gauge public sentiment on pretty much any topic.
If political consultants need to know the public's feeling on some matter, they will pump some stupid articles out in the usual channels, then wait out the public sensitivity to the "outrage" or policy and then have the webcrawlers vacuum up comments and through algorithms determine intensity, depth, and "legs" on an issue. Some time later, you will see the fallout of this analysis in public policy changes or tuning.
So yes, bitching on this and other websites is better than writing letters that are instantly tossed into the burn pile after they get the name and address of the malcontent so that it can either be sent to campaign money hustlers, or to a watch list.

There's no reason why we can't have the same kind of people running agencies, bureaus and departments of government with aggressive, ideological mindsets bent on revenge. Or whatever. The point being these "managers" need to have the political will and finesse to cut through the clutter and make things happen.

_________
Under Thy lash our inconstancy is visited, but our sinfulness is not changed.
Our suffering soul is tormented, but our neck is not bent.
Our life groans under sorrow, yet amends not in deed.
If Thou spare us, we correct not our ways: if Thou punish, we cannot endure it.
In time of correction we confess our wrongdoing: after Thy visitation we forget that we have wept.
If Thou stretchest forth Thy hand, we promise amendment; if Thou withholdest the sword, we keep not our promise.
If Thou strikest, we cry out for mercy; if Thou sparest, we again provoke Thee to strike.

Trump would have been happy to burn many who partook -- I'm looking at you Bill Clinton -- but then he'd have to burn them all -- not just the ones we already hate -- and it would become a ShitShow with risk of blowback.
It's plausible that this started with Mossad -- Ghisaine father was connected -- before our CIA/FBI horned in, so Israel has exposure. Pimping out American girls to blackmail US potentates woulddn't play well in Peoria.

You gratuitously added the "revenge" part, I want motivated people, and Trump for the most part has selected them. Homan, RFK, Tulsi, Hegseth and others.
They are good at their jobs because they believe in the vision and know how much they and others have been screwed by the previous administrations.
They view their roles as a Mission.
I have no idea what Bondi, Patel or Bongino see in their respective roles. Bongino hinted that it was a form of "duty". Patel is just there so he can hang out in the locker room and Bondi is a professional politician.

The others have far more accomplishments and have motivated their troops to whatever sinister cause, and have carried out the vision of their POTUS and Party than Patel.

Polls (spit) including exit polls (spit) are showing Hispanics are now evenly split between the parties, with men being outright Republican.
They're where white people were about 20 years ago.
It doesn't help that most Hispanics think of themselves as...white.

I believe they platooned together at first. CLendennon went on to become an executive at a Pen company after he retired from baseball IIRC.
With Jones and Agee as well as Swoboda in the outfield.
What a team. My beloved '69 Mets and '73 (despite the heartbreaking loss to the A's) and of course '86 with the Kid, Hernandez, Gooden, Strawberry and all the rest.
I wish pro sports was normal. I miss going to a baseball game. Last good game I saw was about 10 years ago, down in Coney Island when I saw the Mets minor league team the Brooklyn Cyclones. That was fun.

There are several reasons we NEED this.

In my comment upthread about Trump's cabinet meetings I noted where people sit in relationship to Trump. It's a classic "boss move" to put people you trust near your seat at the head of the table.
Bondi was seated across from Trump in previous meetings. In this last cabinet meeting she was seated to his right, next to SoS Rubio. It's a better seat for her to be recorded by the media. Previously the media, and their cameras were behind Bondi, and it was awkward for her to turn around, so you saw the back of her head when she spoke.

Kellogg's was split into two companies on October 2, 2023, with WK Kellogg Co owning the North American cereal division, and the existing company being rebranded to "Kellanova", owning snack brands such as Pop-Tarts and Pringles alongside the international cereal division. The purpose of the split was to separate the faster-growing convenience food, and international cereal products market, from the slower growth North American cereal market.

I don't much like Paxton. I side with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals judges he effectively got unelected (because they were unambiguously right on the law). And Paxton seems like a reptile to me. But I've voted for him in every statewide race, and I'll be doing so again this time. He's no more distasteful than politicians in general, he could hardly be more corrupt than Cornyn (who is a uniparty deep stater through and through), and he seems to actually be interested in fighting to advance conservative causes. That's enough for me. I don't have to want to hang out with him or admire him. He's a tool. So long as he serves his purpose, I'll continue using him.

Lots of luck going after the teachers union members. Take down the idiots sprouting bullshit immediately. It stops them in their tracks. I didn't make the rules. They feel they have the right to open their mouths and are never confronted. Make them feel like the crap you scrape off your shoes. Shove their "truth" back down their throats.

Here's the thing:
They don't think.
It's that simple.
They just spit out what they are taught are the correct answers the same way they got passing grades in HS.
There's no critical analysis done. No correlation for consistency. No attempt to reconcile with possible first principles. No depth, no compulsion.
This is why they consistently appear to be hypocrites.
What they "think" is more like an opinion of what they believe will get them approval of their group at that time.

Daily Tech News 10 July 2025
Top Story
- Microsoft announced that it has saved $500 million by increasing reliance on AI and firing thousands of people but mostly by firing thousands of people. (Yahoo)
Thousands of people hardest hit.
Tech News
- Jack Dorsey (one of the original Twitter founders) says his new secure app, Bitchat, has not been tested for security. (Tech Crunch)
At all. I mean, why would you? If it's secure you don't need to test it, and if it's not secure you don't want to test it.
- If you want a good small Android tablet, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is not it. (Liliputing)
For one thing it costs $2000.
- The FTC's "click to cancel" rule - that would mandate subscriptions to be as easy to cancel as to set up in the first place - is temporarily dead. (Hot Hardware)
The FTC has a rule that if a proposed regulation would have an impact of more than $100 million it must first go through a regulatory analysis process.
The FTC deemed the impact less than $100 million and so skipped that process, but the Eight Circuit disagreed, requiring the FTC to go back, if not to square one, then at least to square four.
- Proving lies: How mathematicians just poked a hole in zero-knowledge proofs. (Quanta)
Not a fatal hole, by my reading. The underlying technique - called Fiat-Shamir transforms - has been proven to be secure if the random numbers used are truly random. The trick here is that if you know how the random numbers are generated, a malicious program can use that information to "prove" things that aren't true.
If you require that the program code be less complicated than your random number generator, though, this attack is foiled.
- Speaking of leaks, there are some in Zen 3 and Zen 4 chips. (AMD)
Severity is ranked as "medium" and BIOS updates are on their way.
There are also two low-severity issues that leak data that technically should be leaked but which doesn't really matter. Only the low-severity leaks affect older Zen 1 and Zen 2 chips.
Apparently Zen 5 is unaffected.
- Also speaking of leaks, Qantas. (The Register)
Well, that's lovely.

They’ve both finally figured out that the establishment is dead and gone if they don’t do something about mass immigration, especially of the illegal kind.
Macron sent out police in Calais earlier this week to knife the rubber dinghies the illegals use to cross the channel before the boatloads could get offshore.
It only took the French a decade to get this serious about stopping the flow.
Elsewhere in the EU, many countries are putting border controls back in place to stop migrants, effectively ending the Schengen Agreement.
The elite globalists are finally starting to figure out how much they’ve screwed up over there.
The Democrats here still haven’t gotten the memo.

On September 28, 2024, at a Jonas Brothers concert at the LDLC Arena in Paris, France, Joe Jonas changed the lyric "Walk for me, baby / I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi" to "Walk for me, baby / I’ll be watching you be Naomi". The changes came as the rapper, born Sean Combs, was arrested and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force.

I’d love to see what happens if they try to do a full “Color Revolution” in the Untied States and ban the Republican party for extremism and threatening democracy.

Biden had Border Patrol and ICE doing the opposite of their job description for the past four years while starving their budgets to pay for all the illegals.
The BBB has just given both agencies so much money they’re about to be better funded than every other federal law enforcement combined, including the FBI.
If what’s being said is true, and they stick to the plan, the Trump administration is about to put ICE everywhere, and you’ll notice.
If they can get the court cases settled and get a system in place to start mass deportations, we should start seeing a lot more going home soon.
That’s a lot of “ifs” but they now have the money to do what Trump promised so we’re going to have to wait and see on this.

This is the Wednesday night ONT. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Tip your bartender. Been a rough week on a lot of fronts. Prayers for all among the Horde for issues known and unknown, small and large, and personal or adjacent. TRex isn't smart enough to pray for specific intentions, so I usually stick with praying for strength and wisdom and for happiness and good health. May it be also for those in Texas.
In 1946, General Mills established an Aeronautical Research Division. The division developed high altitude balloons for the United States Navy Office of Naval Research. They were initially used mostly for high altitude meteorological observation, known as Skyhook balloons.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 8th, 2025 - Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) announced today that Barbie is debuting the first Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This addition to the line enables more children to see themselves reflected in Barbie and encourages doll play that extends beyond a child's own lived experience, thereby fostering a greater sense of inclusion and empathy - all pillars of the Barbie brand's mission. Mattel Press Release
Passengers can now keep their shoes on at TSA security checkpointsThe TSA directive says nothing about pants, but it is probably better that most people in the airport remain fully clothed. However, pants are still required for the Book Thread and optional for the Hobby Thread.
National Press Release
Tuesday, July 8, 2025 WASHINGTON - Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced a new policy today which will allow passengers traveling through domestic airports to keep their shoes on while passing through security screening at TSA checkpoints. The new policy will increase hospitality for travelers and streamline the TSA security checkpoint process, leading to lower wait times.
There is no truth to the rumor that TRex's doctor has taken the fifth. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

He didn't do balloons, he worked on farm / industrial sprayers. A lot of the farm stuff was such that when it came in for work you had to full hazmat suit to do the initial cleaning.

It’s a great read. One thing I’m immediately struck by is how similar the events and chicken shit back then and today. Like say, Peter Stroke getting his pension re-instated after being fired for cause.
If you read the Wiki on a fellow named John Service, he was a diplomat stationed in China before the war. Wiki says he “correctly predicted the Communists would defeat the Nationalists”
Well, yes. Since he had a profound impact on making this happen - not too tough of a prediction. He made that happen.
Eventually the Secretary of State, Dean Acheson fired him. Supreme Court re-instated him. Same BS, different day. The book is replete (so far) of really, really fvcked up shit.
The Balkans were another. They supported Tito over a guy named Michailovich, who was both anti-Nazi and anti-Communist. If you have Uk, US, and Russia on your side, good to go. Michailovich was rounded up, show trial, executed.

The number of people that confuse "two plus two" - or "what size is a 2 x 4" is much, much bigger.
Hence why you have all these Mexicans here. Because they can put together inch and a half by three and a half lumber.
Part of the fall of America, honestly ? Its the status afforded to those that assign honestly to the subtlety of "to" and "too".
Who cares ? Nobody that makes anything of use.

One of the points in the Oppenheimer movie that Nolan really didn't do justice is when they find out the Soviets had set off their own nuclear test. Oppenheimer's rival, Lewis Strauss, who is presented as a jealous jerk in the movie, was the guy who had pushed for this when the consensus by Oppenheimer and his associates was that it wouldn't work and the Soviets were far from building their own bomb anyway.
This was from fixed wing aircraft not balloons, but your note reminded me of it...

The appropriate response to the shoe bomber should have been the bombing of Muslim cities until the danger of a follow up dissipated.

It was a marvel to hear the 20th breadth of American music played with apex skill. Without a doubt that band went far in making clear that what they performed was a pinnacle moment of American classical music: we don't need no Mozart, we gots Rock n' Roll.
In February, 2025 he announced that an auto-immune disease had robbed his ability play guitar. A month or so later, after beginning treatment, he felt that he was going to be able to play again, hopefully in the not to distant future.
I monitor his progress with hopes that I can be there when that band blows minds once again. Heck, I would drive 1000 miles to hear that band again and will if that happens. And you should too. For reals.
This is the band I saw the first time. Damn.

Type 1 isn't a lifestyle disease, type 2 is. Type 1 is genetic, or maybe environmental.
The doll is still insipid and vapid, or at least virtue-signalling, but this is on the level of calling the handicapped "handi-capable," not like calling 600 pound land whales "healthy at any size."

One day a few years back a young-ish Russian immigrant guy had a DP-27, the Red Army's light machine gun, which he'd welded back together from a kit. Semi-auto, of course. He had the pan magazines for it, he was testing his 54R reloads for gun function. He said the pan mags worked well but usually troops loaded them a few rounds short of max capacity, which works with most mags to improve reliability.

There have been multiple left-wing shooters that have had their AR-15s jam during a mass shooting attempt.
The same thing also happened at the Marjorie Stoneham (David Hogg) shooting.
And supposedly one of the shooters at the recent ICE agent ambush had their AR-15 jam.
Is there a way to f*ck up the operation of an AR-15?
Like misloading the magazine, some long-gun version of limp wristing, etc.?
I assume they haven't shot their weapons enough that they were critically dirty.
Or does the function of the weapon just depend on the IQ of the shooter?

I recall going east to DC and of course giving up on Mex, but was happy to see Vietnamese going strong in NoVa.
Over the years, surely as a side effect of some mysterious demographic/border thing that I can't quite figure out, I started coming across decent Mex in unexpected places back there. Anchorage of course had some great Mex (oil industry) when I visited there. And never did try the places in Baku, where the oil thing also probably accounted for the Mex restaurants. Just focused on the great kebab etc. when there.

Yeah, he mentioned something about his hands feeling like they're waaaay bigger, and it screws him up. I know a little about that. If I'm sitting in a wrong chair where my wrist is bent too much because the guitar is too low my hand goes numb, and feels like its twice the size. Its impossible to play, because your targeting is out the window. You press the wrong strings because you can't feel the strings. I can at least correct that by standing with a strap like I'm used to for decades, or sitting in the right chair. He on the other hand is totally fucked. What a shitty thing to happen to a guitar player. I watch RA steal the guitar from my father at the worst time. He is a shell of his former self.

We are blessed. Hatch, NM, 30 miles north of LC, is the premier spot for chiles. On labor day they throw a Chile Festival where tons of green chiles are roasted. It is not rare to see peeps go home with a 100 lbs of fresh roasted green chiles. The red chiles are the same plant but they are allowed ripen all the way which turns them red.
So red or green? It depends on the dish. Chile Colorado is always red. Green seems to be the go to for most other dishes but you can always get red or Christmas.
One can order online from the stores in Hatch. You typically can get red and green in powder (I get medium and hot and blend them) or green in jars (most convenient). The best green after fresh roasted is frozen (I think some places ship those - not sure). There really is a difference.

I dunno. Iran has backed off from direct missile attacks, and it's not really in their best interest to provide Israel a pretext for breaking a ceasefire right now. Add in the fact that the Houthis are quite literally severely retarded, and I think it's possible they're going off half-cocked.

Ships are too big to cover with just 4 MGs... what they are doing is boarding and planting charges now...
They need more crew, who are armed and trained... but that raises a LOT of liability issues in parts of the world, that the Houthis are not attacking...

And popin that Antenna? would give their position away both physically, and Electronically.
Best solution IMO would be a couple of Destroyers, accompanying an LHD... Attack Helos, and F-35s, and drones (oh my).
Drones for surveillance, Attack helos for the small boats... and a couple F-35Bs to attack any shore target where they come from.

There’s a local variety of “sweet onion” grown here, not really sweet but it’s a very mild yellow onion, I like to cook with them. Talked to a grower at a farmers market, he said the key to their mildness was to have a very sandy field with no sulfur in it. I would imagine that’s also true for Vidalia onions.

Ultimate solution is for the other (official guvamint) side in Yemen to finally exterminate them. I assume we and the Saudis and others are working on that (we were during our carrier-based air campaign).

And there’s a big part of the problem. There was a lot of talk on some channels that the US was attacking Yemen so that the other “official” government could stage an offensive. Looked like it was gonna happen - and then the “official” army just fell apart without doing much of anything, and their Defense Minister resigned in disgrace, and the next day the US just said “well fuck it” and we came up with some kind of excuse to quit doing anything there.
Sad to say, we expended a large amount of ordnance and accomplished very little. Lost two F-18’s and quite a few Reapers, too. (Luckily no lives lost)

The third item on the Pittsburgh Police Scanner isn't even funny. Kind of heartwarming that a bartender thinks highly enough of his patrons that he calls for a welfare check when a regular is absent.
I found it heartwarming too. Good to hear about good people.

Requests for welfare checks are very common in the sleepy beach town near me, and police blotter can be quite amusing. I'll never forget the woman who couldn't figure out how to get out of her BMW. She drove to the police station and honked until someone came out and gave her instructions.

The event was filmed at the border bridge in the town of Guben by the Polish Citizens Patrol Movement, who told him to return to Germany.
The movement has 7000 members and was founded a few weeks ago to patrol the border with Germany and stop the German police from pushing illegal migrants into Poland.

Funny, it's almost like hitting 3 sites with a few bombs doesn't really address much of the problem that Iran poses, besides being a "mow the lawn" temporary measure, depending on follow-up.
Oh - and the Houthis are a pretty weird bunch. Part of the culture is massive consumption of khat (by chewing), sort of comparable to coca leaf chewing in the Andean countries. Fun fact: Israel's military CoS is of Yemeni origins (Jewish Yemeni, naturally). Yemen had one of the world's oldest and most traditional Jewish communities. And, for language geeks, what is considered the most classical version of Arabic.

They openly talk about ending whiteness. It's anti-white propaganda. You see white women and men with anyone but other whites in commercials, television, and movies because they're trying to convince whites to voluntarily go extinct. Same reason pr0n is obsessed with interracial sex. There's an old observation that the purpose of a system is what it does. A corollary is that if a system appears designed to achieve a certain result it is.

Entirely possible, but he/she/it is not wrong per se.
We're an open multiracial country. Free people have to be free to love someone of any race or ethnicity they choose. I don't have any problem with mixed-raced unions. Why would I? But there's a difference between free people making their own choices and the concerted propaganda we are seeing to influence those choices. That's what I object to: the subtle thumb on the scale. But, of course, if you're white and notice this, you're a racist. Unlike, say certain segments of the black community, which have been very vocal in their opposition to black men choosing white or asian mates, for example. They can openly complain about this kind of thing in nakedly racialist language and draw nary a peep of criticism from the broader culture. What's going on here is no different than the endless gay propaganda in media. And the people who have conquered us have done such a thorough job that we won't even complain about the conquest.

Dog prefers hopping around like a bunny. My bodyguard. The narc. Pupper has ears like Dumbo. Cool runnings. Puppy rescued from a bag thrown in a garbage can turns out to be the sweetest little recycling project. Dogs share my feelings about vegetarianism. Dog thinks a guy in a werewolf costume is just a big weird dog. Dog has a touch of Munchausen syndrome. Dog provides all the in-flight entertainment you could want. Cat and owl meet to determine who can be the most aloof. Fun with water.

Precision timekeepers (well, lowest resolution precision timekeepers) be aware, in less then 15 minutes, at 0:00Z 7/10, which is 8PM EDT, the value of DUT1 will update to +0.1s until further notice.
That is, UT1, astronomical time, in now 0.1s ahead of UTC (exact value today is +50.46ms). This will last well into 2026. The Erf has been rotating a bit fast of late.

It's looking more and more likely a negative leap second will be needed around 2029, ff this keeps up. The last normal positive leap second was at 0:00Z Jan 1, 2017.
So, ~10 years without one. And it continues.
I predict if a negative leap seconds looms, they will get off their asses and accelerate the plane to eliminate them. A negative leap second has never been done, and it would likely break the internet and just be a mess with computer systems all over.

There is a predictable component to this due to the solar and lunar tidal torques (and smaller gravitational perturbations) and then an unpredictable random component. It's this latter that has done something unexpected. Some suspect it may be the differential rotation of the inner core somehow. Could be mass redistributions in the mantle.

They've only been able to measure this to the current incredible precision since atomic clocks were invented and came online for around 1960. However, before then, astronomical observations became precise enough around the early 1820s, that variation in the earth's rotational speed could be detected, just not to the current atomic clock precision.
There was a period during the late 1800s when the Erf was rotating pretty fast, and the length of the day was likely 3 ms faster. Had the current UTC scheme been in place then, several negative leap seconds would have been required.

Just changes in the distribution of mass and the loss due to interaction with other planets and the moon. An earthquake can make a hiccup in the speed of the rotation.

Most spectacular leap I ever saw: The cat quickly leaped off the bartop, several feet over to on top of a dresser, jumped down to a shelf, another leap back onto another dresser, then launched into space, and with one paw swatted a moth so hard the moth smacked several feet down to the floor, deceased. That was some impressive fast calculation and gymnastics.
Cat landed safely.

The boys wore Levis, T-shirts, or casual button shirts, sneakers or boots. Hair was usually moderately short, a few mullets, and wispy mustaches for the lucky few who could grow one.
The girls wore Levis, T-shirts or blouses, sneakers, boots or flats. Their hair was maintained, but not a lot of Jersey Mall-hair.

Sort of related, but not, I was watching something on Amazon, and one of those commercials came on. They show the people struggling with whatever, then get all cheerful about the drug they're pumping, before speed reading through the side effects.
The drug was for people with Tardive Dyskinesia. If you don't know what that is, look it up.

For those of you who care, and I know that's ALL of you, Angel Reese smacked a clipboard out of the hands of one of her coaches (not the head coach, not like it would matter though) in a fit of frustration. She was losing and finished the game that way. I think her team is something like 3-15 for the season. Stellar.

Reminds me of the story of the two women who worked in a nursing home. They were lovers, until one of them broke off the relationship and moved to another state.
The one who stayed behind, she went to the police and told them she and her lover had intentionally killed something like 5 old folks in the facility, just for kicks.
Now, when those folks died, no one suspected anything. Afterwards, they dug up bodies, didn't find any evidence of the drugs that were supposed supplied to them, but dagnabbit, they had a confession, and that was good enough.
The confessor got 10 years. The other gal got life without parole. That was well over 10 years ago.
Now, there's revenge, and then there's lesbo revenge.

The WNBA probably has a fan base equal to the combined fan bases of a half-dozen AAA minor league baseball teams. At most. It would not exist if corporate sponsors, and ESPN plus other networks who will show almost any sport in the summer to fill time, weren't duped or arm-twisted into handing money to the league.

Houston mayoral appointee Sade Perkins is claiming to be the victim after her racist rants went viral.
The campaign claims because she had the "courage" to call out the "racial disparity in emergency response."
"If you believe in: Free speech, Equity, Protecting Black women from systemic retaliation... Then stand with Sade Perkins. Let her know she is not alone and that we will not let her voice be erased."
The majority of the donations appear to be from people trolling Perkins.

Who has not cut a couple hot dogs in half and put them between two slices of bread, when hot dog buns are not on-hand? If your hot dog bun halves become separated, don't you have a classic sandwich construction? Is there any fundamental difference between those constructions and hot dogs in un-separated hot dog buns? Not to me. Hot dogs between bread-type stuff in any form are sammiches.

Frankly ... you have to think an area that nobody else wants. Because if it's "hot" ? Then you end up with Atlanta. If it's "cool" ? You end up with Nashville.
There is no possible way to have anything good without the locusts from the Pacific Coast and North East coming down and ruining it.

With gophers, the best way to miss them is to drive right at them. They usually run across the road, and not parallel to your line of travel. If you dodge left or right, the gopher is also going to dodge left or right, and you have a 50/50 chance of hitting it. If you drive right at it, and it dodges, your odds of a clean miss are much better.

Why do folks you like, you think, not leave New Jersey or Boston or such here ? And trust me - many of the loud voices on this board are from Jersey.
Would you want them around you ? Do you think they'd be less pushy from your side of the fence ?
They would not. Because that is their priority. That is how they live.
Now consider all the places they WOULD leave for. Avoid those.

Quick Hits
Remember when ABC's gay Ken doll David Muir reported from the NC floods wearing a fake fireman's jacket with clothespins pulling in the waist so that he looked cute on TV?
Well now he's in Texas, with a cinched-in tight t-shirt. The reveal here is that Mark Halperin thought he was "already out," but Megyn Kelly says no, that's just the widespread belief. I guess it's a don't-ask-don't-tell situation. Are there any straight male proggies? Any at all? The Wisconsin judge who aided and abetted a fugitive from the law asked to have her case dismissed. The magistrate in her criminal trial refused. The magistrate makes rulings which are passed on to the actual judge. The judge can sign these orders or reject them.Dugan filed a motion in May to dismiss the charges against her, saying she was acting in her official capacity as a judge and therefore is immune to prosecution. She argued that the federal government violated Wisconsin's sovereignty by disrupting a state courtroom and prosecuting a state judge. U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph on Monday recommended against dropping the charges. The ultimate decision is up to U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman, who can accept the other judge's recommendation or reject it. What they're saying: "We are disappointed in the magistrate judge’s non-binding recommendation, and we will appeal it," Dugan attorney Steven Biskupic, a former federal prosecutor, said in a statement. "This is only one step in what we expect will be a long journey to preserve the independence and integrity of our courts."Judges simply declaring that the law doesn't apply to them is the left's way of "fighting fascism." In one of the most fascist acts of the Obama-Biden junta, the DOJ prosecuted a twitter-user for posting the old joke that you should rush to the polls on Wednesday (that is, the day after the election). The Obama-Biden junta, fanatically devoted to criminalizing all right-wing speech, prosecuted this poor guy and got him sentenced to seven months in federal prison for, alleging, conspiring to defraud people of their right to vote. That insane conviction has now been tossed.
In 2023, Mackey was convicted and sentenced to seven months in prison for a meme he made about the 2016 election. His graphic, obviously a parody, indicated that people could vote for Hillary Clinton via text. Clinton herself hilariously tried to blame her loss on Mackey, instead of recognizing the fact that American voters simply hate her. But today, we received great news from Mackey himself. The U.S. Second Court of Appeals has overturned his conviction and instructed the lower court to dismiss all charges against him.

MSNBC and CNN suffered staggering losses in viewership over the past year -- while Donald Trump's ascendancy supercharged Fox News in the cable news ratings war. The left-leaning networks -- which will both be spun off by their respective parent companies -- suffered year-over-year declines in all major metrics for the second quarter compared to the same period last year, according to the latest Nielsen data, which was reported by AdWeek. Comcast-owned MSNBC, with its rabid anti-Trump lineup of anchors, drew an average 1.008 million primetime viewers from April to June, a year-over-year decline of 15%, Nielsen figures show. In the the advertiser-covered 25-to-54 demographic, primetime viewership plunged 20%, to 91,000 compared to last year -- despite star anchor Rachel Maddow returning to full-time duty during the first 100 days of the Trump administration. ... The exodus of eyeballs was even worse during the day, with total viewership plummeting 26%, to an average of 596,000, and 31%, to 57,000, in the key demo compared to the same quarter last year.
CNN, which has languished in last place despite paying anchor Anderson Cooper a reported $18 million in salary, averaged 538,000 total viewers in primetime for the three-month period and 105,000 in the demo, according to Nielsen Year-over-year, the network saw declines of 13% in total viewers in primetime and a 15% drop in the 25-54 demo.
The two racist, batshit-crazy black women fired by MSNBC -- Tiffany Cross and Joy Reid -- now have contracts at CNN, because they're so moderate and centrist.
CNN's Tiffany Cross repeatedly accuses President Trump of disappearing people and sending them to Nazi style concertation camps.

Mackey was sentenced but didn't get to the "surrender" phase where he actually checks in at the joint and receives his orange suit and a number. The sentence was thrown out before he did time. Lucky for him.
I feel like the judge who came up with this bullshit verdict needs to go before a criminal court himself for attempted kidnapping. Maybe attempted murder, given the certain target Mackey would have worn over his seven months.

"Girls" on HBO. It was a negative look at the singles scene, sort of a rebuttal to "Sex and the City."
She was naked a lot. No one wanted to see it. There were other better-looking girls (a low bar to be sure) and I think Matt Lauer's daughter did nude scenes and stuff.
I know this only because we had HBO for "Game of Thrones" so I would see the promos for it. She was lauded as the voice of the youths, but then began posting photos of her taking a dump on social media, admitted to molesting her younger sister and obviously has eaten a small village.

So here's a forgotten mystery click for Ace: apparently the University of Michigan has decided that the song it plays between the 3rd and 4th quarters is "Mr. Brightside."
A song about a guy being cheated on. Whole stadium singing about being cucked. Can't make it up.
At least when the Welsh adopted a song about being cheated on, they got revenge. ("Delilah" for those not of the Boyo persuasion.)

No longer ranting in 2025, but I surely was in 2005 watching FOX. Here are the highlights:
Shep, French Quarter, near a puddle, whining (before the levee broke but the MS Coast of my childhood was gone)
Shep, Interstate 10 leading into NOLA: One dead man on the overpass. Shep shrieking about potential cannibals in the Super Dome. Food running out. Where is the gubment??? Well, the roads were blocked, nitiwit.
Geraldo: In front of the Civic's Center: one dead body in the freezer. Rape is in the air. A black dude walks behind him and Geraldo almost screams during his rape worries. Black grandma with a baby shows him a photo of a missing grandbaby. Geraldo grabs the toddler's face, makes baby cry, and screams, "This is the face of Katrina." Black grandmother looks at him as if to say, "You are one crazy dude."
I busted out laughing and recovered a bit, thanks to that lady and seeing his fear of being raped on tv and thrown into the freezer with the dead man (ok, my take). He was scared, I promise you that!

They were following the Second Spanish Republic playbook - overtly unjust administration of the law with a view to provoking a rebellion so that they could crush it and proceed with their goal of revolution.
They failed because the US has a more robust democracy than 1936 Spain and because they were pretty damn incompetent. This is a growing problem with them. They send a hit team against ICE with a 10-3 superiority and the element and still fail. Even worse, they surrendered en masse. Pathetic.

So I was a kid and didn't know anything about sex, let alone gay sex, and I loved the music. "YMCA" was huge hit at YMCA summer camp, this was back when they did opening and closing prayers.
Just for reference, It was only when songs were on flashback that i realized "Afternoon Delight" was about something other than light. I thought the title was "After Noondy Light," you know, when fireworks would go off.

That won't solve their competence problem. They had two chances to get Trump, the first was basically an open layup and their man still missed.
So now they're pushing trannies and mobilizing cartel guys, but the cartels seem to be backing down, unwilling to lose good button men in a lost cause.
And the mounting toll of arrests and prosecutions is terrifying their keyboard warriors.

The original Antifa of the California Berkeley and Portland were rich kids larping, and the tactic was to have the girls distract a fellow and bike lock hero cave in his skull. Proud boys and volunteers routed those heros pretty quick.
By the time of prime Portland and Kenosha, most of them were pervs with big criminal records. Not sure what the current set is like, but the activists now seem to be more street thugs than true believers.

But I can do electrical work. carpentry. Plumbing. I know which end of the shovel to hold. I can change ties and fix engines. I can grow food and catch fish.
What shocks me about the new left...I'm not sure they can do...anything. I honestly think Antifa is trying to take over, because the only job they are fit for is dissipated despots waiting to be overthrown.
It's like their choices are homeless welfare recipient or ruler of the world, so they are going to try and be ruler of the world. And things were going great, back in the day. But when they mess about with real people, who know how to brawl, and which end of the gun the bullets come out of, they are fucking hopeless.
These people have no idea what is in store for them in jail.
So, I, for one, welcome their insurrectiony behavior. As long as they are held to account, I'm not overly concerned. These guys build a bomb? I'm not sure they could bake a cake.

Leftwing Podcaster: Kamala Harris Appeared on My Show But It Was So Disastrous I Never Published It, Because I Didn't Want to be Blamed for Her Defeat
Kamala Harris, a Noted Genius, decided that one of her Scripted Cute Viral Moments with this Muslim podcaster was to keep babbling about how great bacon is and how bacon is a spice.
One thing that's always grated on me with Harris is her inauthentic attempt to connect with "the youth" by constantly pushing internet memes from 2007. Bacon, Venn diagrams. Hot dog is sandwich. No wait, that's how Jonah Goldberg attempts to seem relevant to the Modern Audience. This appearance was intended to be yet another "humanizing" Kamala Harris puff interview, like all of her "interviews" are. This guy apparently just has people on to offer light "hot" takes, silly crap like Hot Dogs Are Sandwich. First she came on to say that she didn't like taking her shoes off in Airport Security Theater, but I guess she realized she was contradicting official state policy so this was too dangerous. Instead she decided to sing the praises of bacon to a Muslim. The appearance was so stilted and awkward that he says they "mutually agreed" to bury it.
Kamala Harris gave an interview before the presidential election that was so "confusing and weird" that she and the host mutually agreed not to air it, a social media personality recently revealed. The former Democratic presidential candidate's appearance on "Subway Takes," a popular online series hosted by Kareem Rahma where guests admit their favorite hot take, was filmed in Summer 2024 but never saw the light of day, the presenter said. "Her take was really confusing and weird, not good, and so [we] mutually agreed we shouldn't publish it," Rahma told Forbes reporter Steven Bertoni in an interview posted on TikTok on Monday.Huh. He buried Kamala Harris's answers because they were so awkward they would hurt her chances in the election. Hire him for 60 Minutes, CBS! He's a natural!
HOLY CRAP!! Kamala did an interview with this dude @SubwayTakes during her campaign. It was so bad they didn’t run it.

Note that Biden wants to talk to reporters, because he's brain-damaged to the point of being nonfunctional. It's his staff who insist that no one be permitted to check up on Pop-Pop.
Chris Cillizza
@ChrisCillizza 1/ In the final year of his presidency, Joe Biden's top aides -- and his wife, Jill --hid him from the media and the public in ways that we are only now beginning to fully grasp. 2/ On Tuesday, we got another look at how pervasive the effort to keep Biden from speaking extemporaneously really was -- and how it has continued even after his time in the White House. 3/ This excerpt from the book -- penned by @tylerpager
and two other political reporters and called "2024" -- is pretty stunning stuff:
Someone reminded this soft womanly blob of estrogen of his own "reporting," back when Biden was still the Democrat leader and therefore to be protected:
4/ The truth exposed by that anecdote from Tyler is this: The Biden inner circle simply believes that Biden himself is no longer to be trusted in any sort of non-staged interaction. 5/ What other explanation is there for not only berating the reporter -- God forbid he try to get in touch with Biden to get his side of the story on 2024! -- but also taking the extreme step of getting rid of Biden's phone number?

In an episode of Star Trek: Picard Isn't Cool As Kirk, the crew of the enterprise realized they were in a repeating "loop" akin to groundhog day and decided to send a message to the next version of the "loop" so they could keep the knowledge of the loop they had acquired. Somebody should do the same for California citizens--send something to the future version of them so that 6 months from now they could re-visit all of the lies the California politicians told them earlier.

He wants to build them in areas that had big single family homes. He wants to kibosh the folks that actually pay taxes. If low-income housing paid, people would build them. In the California economy, they don't pay.

Six months after the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled $101 million in funding Tuesday for “multifamily low-income housing development” that will “contribute to a more equitable and resilient Los Angeles."

I LOVE that Biden ends conversations by getting on an Amtrak train. Which he probably has not ridden since he was a Senator during the War of 1812.*
*In reality, no one knew he was on the phone, and thought he was playing happily in his ice cream. Upon seeing him on the phone, they kicked him and gave him the Amtrak boarding excuse card to read. Then dosed him and tied him to his bed in the closet of the Oval Office aka where Monica used to do her thing.

And all of the sub-mediocrity of the judicial branch and legal cult in general isn't even the point. It's the judiciary's absurd aggrandizement of so much power it doesn't have and shouldn't have, the de fact erasure of the constitution.

Supreme Court Overrules Lowly District Court Judge, Okays Trump to Merely Plan for Mass Firings in the Government
Note that the lowly district court judge didn't just rule Trump couldn't fire his own employees.
No, the lowly district court judge issued a restraining order blocking Trump from even making plans for firing them. The Supreme Court overturned that insurrectionist ruling.Note that the DEI hire Katanji couldn't even get the old DEI hire Sotomayor to agree with her. In fact, Sotomayor rebuked her for once again refusing to apply the actual laws and rules of jurisprudence and ignore the fact that no cuts have yet even happened. You cannot rule that a plan is illegal, Sotomayor lectured Ketanji Brown Jackson, until that plan actually exists. But Ketanji thinks the obligation to wait for a plan before ruling that plan unconstitutional is just more "legalese" and would prefer to continue with her Opray Winfrey Jurisprudence, in which nothing is based on precedent, rule, or reason, but is just the sort of thing that stupid leftwing women shout and yammer about to get applause from other stupid leftwing women.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to begin carrying out sweeping layoffs across the federal government, lifting a lower court's block on a February executive order directing agencies to initiate major workforce reductions. Key Details: The Court granted the administration's emergency appeal, overturning a May injunction by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston that had halted layoffs at over 20 federal agencies. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, claiming the decision gives President Trump a "wrecking ball" to use against the federal bureaucracy. Affected departments include State, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, Transportation, and the Social Security Administration, with legal battles expected to continue over the broader implications. Diving Deeper: President Donald Trump scored a major legal victory Tuesday when the Supreme Court cleared the path for his administration to implement a sweeping plan to cut the federal workforce. The high court lifted a district court injunction that had barred the administration from enforcing a February 11 executive order directing agencies to prepare for widespread "reductions in force" (RIFs). The unsigned order, which appeared to have an 8-1 majority, allows Trump officials to move ahead with plans that could impact tens of thousands of federal workers. The decision doesn't settle the ongoing legal fights surrounding the layoffs, but it does permit the administration to begin executing the executive order and a related Office of Management and Budget directive in the meantime. ... In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Biden appointee, sharply criticized the majority, accusing them of greenlighting legally questionable moves without fully examining the facts. "While the President no doubt has the authority to manage the Executive Branch, our system does not allow the President to rewrite laws on his own under the guise of that authority," she wrote. Jackson also took aim at the court's increasing willingness to override district courts in emergency decisions, suggesting the majority showed "enthusiasm" for rubber-stamping the administration's actions.
For the second time in two weeks, a Supreme Court justice is using her opinion to scold Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for not understanding what she is talking about.

There sure does seem to be a long term plan to make black people seem a lot smarter than they are, and less savage and violent.
Wonder why that is and who made that DEIcision? Who would do such a thing and for what reason?
I'm not saying it's Jews and all that, there is some other thing going on. I mean, it's pretty obvious.
Is it that they are the progressive pets that keep the gravy train rolling? Could be. Where would those parasites be without black people to pretend to care about, who would give them awards for documentaries and shit?
It's hilarious.

I remember stting down, first day of English II at a second rate state school.
The prof comes in, black guy in thick glasses.
Hands out the syllabus and says we're going to work real hard, essays all the time. The syllabus was all race-based bullshit. Every book.
I walked out and dropped the class and got a white British prof, who was a nice guy and an excellent teacher. Class was wonderful.
In another class we were given a book of short stories about life in the city. It was so awful. Who would live like that. Crime and squalor. Depression. Guess us whites needed to know.
I'm sure the author won an award for it.

Correction: Planning to plan is illegal.
Which was also the basis for the injunctions against the birthright citizenship EO--the EO merely directed the agencies to develop plans to end it.
And 3 different judges and the relevant appeals courts agreed:
It is illegal to even review the statues, laws and regulations to determine a way to end it.
As I said, it really gives the game away on the actual Constitutionality of BRC--if it was such sound and settled law, there'd be no fear at all in merely reviewing its basis.
But, they know it's flimsy, made-up bullshit that--once examined in full light--with wither and fade into the stupid pit of lies it was born from.

I know several KBJ-types in real life. I don't think the ones I knew were especially stupid, but they went to law school in order to "change the system".
That's what we're seeing here. KBJ may be a retard, but shes got clerks who are presumably pretty smart. She knows what she's doing. She's trying to set up a shift in the court, hoping the democrats take over and get to appoint enough people to dramatically shift the ideological make up of the court to more people who believe in "vibe law".

The realization that what's cosmically "fair" and "nice" is a completely different thing from what's Constitutional and legal is one of the Big Steps one takes in maturing intellectually, even morally and ethically imo.
Yes, it's somehow not "fair" that people who work hard digging ditches don't get paid as well as nasty, shitty actors. It's not "nice" that hard-working border crashers get kicked out of the country.

More importantly for a supreme court justice is that every decision you write will be used by lawyers across the country in their legal briefs to courts, and is supposed to be treated with the utmost respect and precedence by trial judges.
Which is why typically SCOTUS is very careful about what they write, because, you know, unintended consequences.
I don't think KJB fully realizes that or what she could be setting in motion if some of her opinions were the majority opinion.
Because if precedence says that a President can't tell the executive branch what to do, there will likely be a point in time where R's rule congress and a D is pres, and that will bite the D's in the ass big time.

A couple of general statements: Girls do better in school, pound for pound, than boys do. They're geared for it. Boys have to switch to another gear to adhere to the school setting.
Intelligence, of course, is not always measured by school performance, and some people do really well on tests, but can't think their way out of a revolving door.
In a way, some of these female students who do really well, they don't really put in much "work" to get the grades, and so it probably goes without saying, they don't really learn much. Of whatever there is to learn in school.

"Defendant-Appellant Douglass Mackey (“Mackey”
appeals from a judgment of conviction entered on October 25, 2023 after a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Donnelly, J.). Mackey
was convicted of conspiring to injure citizens in thevexercise of their right to votevin violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 based on three memes he posted or reposted on
Twitter shortly before the 2016 presidential election. These memes falsely suggested that supporters of then-candidate Hillary Clinton could vote by text message. On appeal, Mackey argues, inter alia, that the evidence was insufficient to prove that he knowingly agreed to
join the charged conspiracy. We agree."
Short version - he was convicted of conspiracy, but no evidence was presented at trial that any conspiracy with anyone ever existed.

Yes, I can't think of any of his courts' rulings off the top of my head that weren't carefully crafted.
Yes, he used his power for promoting his political views, but they were / are usually seen as pretty tight opinions.
But whig would be the one to know that for sure, legal history is not my expertise.

Warren was a smart guy and a Republican. He hated FDR’s New Deal and was nominated for the SC by Ike. Many of his decisions were conservative, or at least considered that at the time. He did go off the rails in areas like criminal justice. But most of even those decisions were defensible at the time. It’s only later that they were corrupted and polluted into what we know today.

You know, Jackson's appointment really baffles me, when the position opened up I assumed Biden would nominate some law professor or someone else who could act as a sort of mastermind while the other two leftwing justices acted as rubber stamps, but instead they appointed a third affirmative action hire rubber stamp.

I have a bachelors degree, a masters degree and a professional doctorate (JD).
I'd say the only time I really felt like I was actually actively learning new stuff and challenging myself was in law school, and even that was heavily weighed towards 1L year.
Overall, I think as long as you go to class, have a pulse, do at least some work, and are marginally good at figuring out how to be a good test taker (which you should know by the time you're in law school), you can graduate pretty much any level of education.

Sadly, Justice Ketanji Brown not knowing the definition of "woman" poses an even greater existential threat to the rule of law, because if she can't define something as basic as that, can she be counted to have the reasoning ability to rule on anything?!?

I'll let you guys in on a little secret -- the bar exam is not that hard. It's a test of "minimal competence" and something like 80%+ (depending on the state) of first time test takers pass it. It's the repeat takers (the retards), many of whom didn't get a JD from an accredited law school, who drive down the pass rate in to the 60's / 70's.

Wow, that's an even bigger smack down than I imagined. Very uncommon for a higher court to touch on the underlying facts on the case. For them to say, essentially "no reasonable jury could find that the prosecution proved its case on each element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt" is very uncommon.

My grad school was almost no tests. It was writing. Digging up research, plugging in citations, formatting the paper, and having a logical framework for it.
The perfessers would poke holes in it, and sometimes, you'd be writing the same damn paper the whole semester.
What I got out of class was the give and take with the other students and the perfessers, but you'd see these lumps who would be doing damn near anything other than getting into the discussion.

Bureau of Labor Statistics: Employment of American Citizens Increased by 2,000,000 Since January, While 530,000 Fewer Illegals Have Jobs
Without millions of illegals flooding into the country to make the cost of labor cheaper -- which is our corporate overclass's #1 top priority -- American workers finally are seeing real wage growth for the first time in decades.
President Donald Trump is growing the nation's workforce by filling open jobs with native-born Americans, rather than importing more migrants to take such work, Bureau of Labor Statistics data reveals. "Compared with the start of the year, foreign-born employment is down by over half a million workers and American-born employment is up by over two million," Breitbart News Economics Editor John Carney reported. And while hundreds of thousands of native-born Americans are scoring jobs in Trump's economy, the all-important labor force participation rate rose from 61.4 percent to 61.8 percent, with the highest level ever of native-born Americans employed. The Heritage Foundation's E.J. Antoni made a similar note, mainly that compared to former President Joe Biden's migrant economy -- where nearly all net job growth went to foreign-born workers -- Trump's economy is delivering nearly all net job growth to native-born Americans. "What a difference a president makes: last Nov, the 12-month change in jobs among native-born Americans was -1.1 million but for Jun it was +1.7 million; truly remarkable..." Antoni wrote on X.
We are building towards a second Trump Miracle Economy.
Likely thanks to Trump's crackdown on illegal employment, "average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 8 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $36.30 in June," the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
Net job gains/losses since January:

It'll take a while to undo that lie. Even many members of my Trump-voting family casually repeat it from time to time.
They were impressed, though, when I mentioned the factory in Omaha that had locals lining up to apply after the illegals were rounded up. So maybe we can erode the narrative.

Tariffs aren't inflationary, so that narrative fell apart fast.
Import pipelines can adjust to things like tariffs, so that is going to deaden effects.
Tariffs are on wholesale importer prices, not final retailer prices, so the impact was always going to be smaller to the consumer than the numbers implied.
90% of our food is made in the US, so most day to day purchases aren't going to be impacted by tariffs.
Yes, it was massively overblown.

With labour in such high demand, surely we'll get a $15 minimum wage at last. Or so my economic studies led me to believe.
Ag Sec Rollins said the 34 million able-bodied adults in our Medicaid Program can do these jobs. And don’t forget those millions of fat and lazy 10, 11, and 12 year old kids.
I've no doubt prices will go up because of this and tariffs, and we will have a recession in the near future. This administration is such a bunch of morons.
Add Repub resistance to increasing wages and you get stagflation. Higher prices, stagnant wages. Libertarian nirvana.🤮

When Biden took over, his administration increased the tariffs, on certain goods it went up to 100% (like EVs).

The supply and demand curve really needs to be taught more.
Losing a few million people lowers demand, and prices have to respond to reach equilibrium as well.
A million fewer people trying to rent places? Well, owners have to lower rents.

I think PU is talking about less cheap illegals in the labor force driving up wages, which in turn could drive up prices. PU isn’t wrong about that in isolation, but nothing works in isolation.

OMG: Now a LIBERAL Supreme Court justice is trying to teach Justice Ketanji Jackson how this whole "judicial" thing works...
Jackson is the ONLY dissent. Sotomayor has to remind Jackson, for some reason, that the case before them is NOT about what Jackson thought it was.

And it goes to show - not every bishop is a good one b/c all of them are human.
That said, the Catholic hierarchy is struggling to find the line on current illegal immigration issues...as a Church, it has always been big on refugees (which is why it alone stepped up to help the South African refugees when all the other prevous resettling groups said the refugees were "too white"), but also sees the value in following laws (at least when those laws are not immoral, and national borders are not immoral)...so they haven't really found a message. And probably won't til America has either solved its illegals problem or quits trying to solve its illegals problem.
It doesn't help that the last Pope didn't believe in national borders at all so that has affected a lot of folks, since it's only been a few months of him being gone...

When I switched from a 4G to 5G phone, there was a noticeable difference in connection speed. Other than that, no. It's easier to burn through your data cap. On my carrier, you get lower data priority after that, but I don't notice a difference when that happens. I can even watch stutter-free YouTube videos.

One of the immediate differences between free and command and control economies is that the former let individuals make decisions because no one can collect enough information to make the right decisions in a mass economy.
Command and control economies always try to simplify things so that one person can make these decisions.
And it never works.

Smart money is saying a rate drop of 50 basis points for the middle or end of July, though with the inflation dropping it might be later
What IS happening for sure is that the EU Central Bank and the City of London are having a terrible quarter since they have to either print their way into inflation, default on their debt, or borrow more US dollars at this horrible rate which will destroy them economically.

I really don't get the outrage about this one. Mattel makes like 500 different Barbies. If there's a market for little girls who have type 1 diabetes and who feel a little better about themselves if they have a doll like them, I think it's great.
Type 1 diabetes is entirely a genetic disorder that has nothing to do with your diet. You can't fix it by eating better. You don't get it by being fat.

In '22, a few months after Chekov D. Siberian passed away, I was ready to look for a new buddy. But this was during the Sniffle Scare. The local SPCA insisted on face diapers, and you had to make an appointment (!) to come in and see an individual cat. You couldn't look around. And the website showed no longhairs, which I prefer.
Petfinder led me to a shelter in Vicksburg, and there was the future Stirling already looking impressive at three months. No face diaper nonsense. An eight-hour round trip, and he moved right in with me.

But seriously, they may be in that "sucks to be you" zone where they can't get food stamps because they have a new-ish car, which they need to work, but their job doesn't pay quite enough to cover all the necessary expenses.
And somehow food is the most flexible one to short themselves on.
And I'm still not convinced that the used car market has recovered from Cash for Clunkers, even this many years later.
Or they're just taking advantage. Who knows?

After Four Men From the Same Syrian Immigrant Family Sexually Assault Women in a German Pool, Germany Unleashes Propaganda Campaign Advising German Women to Stop Groping Jihadis
After Muslims "guests" groped and sexually assaulted their hosts, Germany sprang into action, lecturing native German women to please stop fondling the jihadist invaders.
Mark Steyn:
Steyn calls it another "blizzard of lies." I prefer to call it the Empire of Lies. People are getting tired of the Empire of Lies. The non-elite "elites" are always asking how people became so distrustful and cynical about our Precious Institutions. Hint: Constantly lying about everything in order to appease extremists and criminals and denigrate and demoralize the law-abiding normies is causing the caustic cynicism. We don't believe you for a very simple reason: You are inveterate liars. You are incapable of speaking the truth, even accidentally.
As you can see, in one poster, a white man is invading the privacy of a brown woman; in the second, a white man is grabbing the bottom of a brown woman; in the third, two white men are assaulting a brown woman; and, in the fourth, a predatory redhead is groping a brown man with a peg leg - presumably a Somali pirate whose storm-tossed galleon was forced to put into port at the Cologne municipal baths. As Europe's bestselling newspaper was obliged to point out, this advertising campaign is the precise inversion of German reality:Eleven days ago, eight girls were sexually assaulted on a trip to the swimming pool trip at Gelnhausen. The alleged offenders are four young men. All four are said to be from the same Syrian family.There's a surprise - not. I am not saying that the advertising-agency manginas who came up with this campaign and the bureaucrats who signed off on it should be identified, hunted down in the streets and killed. I am not even saying that they should be brutally sodomised like the ten-year-old boy in the Theresienbad pool, whose attacker had his conviction overturned by the Austrian Supreme Court on the grounds that, being from Iraq, Amir could not be expected to know that the cute little moppet was not consenting to his anal rape. But I am saying that every self-respecting bikini-clad flame-tressed thunder-thighed Hausfrau should pursue these manginas down the sidewalk groping their arses every inch of the way until their poor put-upon posteriors have to be replaced by prosthetics from the same company that Somali pirate gets his from. ... What the German state is telling you in that ad campaign is that there is no possibility of meaningful democratic change on anything that matters - and that, even as your society descends into hell, you will be blamed for it. What next? Rotherham cracking down on "grooming gangs" with posters showing Sammy Woodhouse groping nice young Pakistani lads? The German campaign is a near parodic example of what feminists used to call "victim-blaming". Because it is the logical and necessary consequence of public policy.

Put yourself in a young leftist German working on these posters and imagine the existential angst they must go through in their minds deciding which race should represent the perpetrators and victims.
If you portray the perpetrators as brown that would help to propagate harmful stereotypes, which would be racist and wrong.
If you portray the perpetrators as white the only people who'll complain are right-winger AfD types, and they're all racists so who cares what they think anyhow?
If it had been me designing the poster I'd have used dogs & cats or stick figure cartoons and avoided all of the politics entirely but I haven't been brainwashed by the German educational system so I can think outside the box.

Maybe the pool is frequented by these people. Maybe it isn't. There's news out of Illinois about a 200-300 strong flash mob of teens that took over a pool. They were drinking, smoking marijuana, setting off fireworks, and stealing. They shoved the pool manager into the pool. Police arrested exactly one teen and he only got charged with illegal use of fireworks and fleeing.

I was once groped, through jeans, on a sidewalk in college. I chased the guy for awhile, not to continue the grope session, but to kill him quite dead. He had a head start so I gave up the chase.
I also yelled, "You bastard!" at the top of my lungs. In a split second before I chased him, and back then I did not cuss as much in my head as I do now.
I think I'd make a scene in a pool in Germany. Which I will never go to as the train station in Munich alone creeped me out en route to Belgium. Then the little Belgian men on the train irritated me. I love Europe but apparently hate everyone near me in my wicked mind.

It isn't Germany. British people went to prison for mentioning that foreigners were gang raping girls. France and Italy - even under Meloni - are flooding their countries with migrants.
Their people are weak and soft. The government provides everything so they lead lives of perpetual adolescence. They don't marry. They don't have children. They insist on asinine political policies. But their house of cards is predicated on a growing population. Always another, larger, generation to pay the bills for the lifestyle of the previous generations.
So they bring in people who aren't "of their tribe". And the more of these people they bring in, the less "of their tribe" their country becomes. Eventually, Germans will be a minority in Germany. And then the bill comes due.
We see it here also.

There, the police will (probably) still arrest someone if he's harassing you. Most other big cities, they'll be more likely to ask you if you led him on.

Women could, I don't know, maybe I'm being crazy here, maybe not swim in these particular pools.
Is situational awareness simply not in the female gene?
If you can't in any way look out for yourself how am I supposed to care about you?

Oh man, this is rage bait for me. Locals have probably used this pool unmolested for decades and now the predators show up, and local authorities' response is worse than nothing -- it amounts to encouragement of the predators. Yes, women would be smart to give up on their supposed protectors, and they'd also be smart to consider all men predators with an attitude like "how am I supposed to care about you?"
Be like Jesus! Stop caring.

Complaints were rife and consistent and needed to be addressed in the Code of Conduct course. The client specifically told me to NOT accurately portray the ethnicities in any scenarios or graphics. No names or faces that would suggest who's doing what to whom. That would be offensive!

The Guadalupe River and it’s historical flooding
The flooding along the Guadalupe River is a recurring natural event:
By Alan -July 6, 2025775
The Guadalupe River in Texas has a long history of significant flooding, with major floods recorded as far back as the 19th century.
1838,1848,1868, 1872,1906, 1913,1921, 1936,1952, 1972, 1973,1978, 1987,1989, 1991,1997,1998, 2015, 2018,2020, 2021,2025
These years reflect at least 22 major flood events that have been chronicled in local histories and official reports. Notably, the river is located in what is known as “Flash Flood Alley,” making it particularly susceptible to rapid, destructive flooding due to the area’s rocky terrain and tendency for intense rainfall. cont.
Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at July 09, 2025 02:54 PM (ncgY2)
1913: Part of the Texas Flood of 1913, causing widespread devastation and loss of life.
1972: Exceptionally heavy rain led to major flooding in New Braunfels and Seguin.
1987: The deadliest event until 2025, with a tragic loss of life at a church camp near Comfort, Texas.
1998: Broke most existing records, exceeding the 100-year flood plain and causing unprecedented damage.
2020: Caused more than $1 billion in damage along the river.
2025: The river rose 26 feet within 45 minutes, resulting in at least 67 deaths.

NOBODY needs any kind of 'outreach' or 'education' that groping women is wrong.
The only reason this exists is so some stupid government woman can gush about how whay she 'contributed'.
Reminds me of the insanity of Finland who produced this INSANE video 'teaching' people to 'stop, don't touch me there, this is my no-no square', and it came with a freaking DANCE.

'Educated' AWFLs will literally tell you to perform dances so you don't get raped rather than imprison criminals.

Adolescence is a Netflix drama based on a real event where a black kid murdered someone.
In the Netflix show, it was a white kid inspired by Jordan Peterson.
The show became required viewing for pretty much the entire British nation for a couple of months. Politicians were berated on TV by interviewers for not having seen it.

And that's my opinion as well. People equate stars with kinds of movies they want to see, but they're smart enough to know that the small movie about a lawyer connecting with his small town judge father is not going to be the same thing as an Avengers movie, so even if Robert Downey Junior is in it, The Judge is going to fail miserably.
Which means that Downey Jr...is not a star. He's the face of a franchise. A franchise that had other billion dollar hits without him.
Going back to him to play Dr. Doom is desperation.

Well, sure, there simply are no other actors that can fill the role.

Biden's Corrupt Doctor and Biden, Inc. Business Partner Refuses to Testify to Congress, Citing the Fifth Amendment Right Against Self-Incrimination
No one is above the law, right?
They sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to jail for refusing to cooperate. So no one is above the law, right?Biden's physician declines to cooperate in GOP probe of former president's mental fitness Kevin O'Connor, who served as Joe Biden's physician while the former president was in office, refused to testify in a closed-door interview as part of the House GOP probe into Biden's mental acuity and whether his inner circle sought to conceal his limitations from the public. O'Connor Wednesday morning asserted doctor-patient privilege and his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, according to a statement from his attorneys. He had repeatedly argued his duties as a doctor complicated his ability to testify under oath about his patient, preventing him from sharing some sensitive information. "On the advice of his legal counsel, Dr. O'Connor refused to answer questions that invaded the well-established legal privilege that protects confidential matters between physicians and their patients," the statement read. "His assertion of his right under the Fifth Amendment to decline to answer questions, also on the advice of his lawyers, was made necessary by the unique circumstances of this deposition.There is no physician-patient confidentiality here because Congress intended to ask questions about O'Connor's publicly-stated (perjured) reports on Biden's supposed perfect health. There is no privilege once you voluntarily make something public. Either it's private or it's public, and O'Connor made it public. There may be things that he could assert privilege about, but not about his public declarations.
The statement also cited President Donald Trump's own invocation of his Fifth Amendment right before his deposition with New York State Attorney General Letitia James, quoting Trump's suggestion that only "an absolute fool" would refuse to take the Fifth. ... O'Connor arrived on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning as required, but left less than an hour after the interview began. Before his departure, though, O'Connor's legal representation delivered a statement to committee members elaborating on their client's decision. In a copy of prepared remarks obtained by POLITICO, they said that the ongoing Justice Department investigation into the same subject raised the risk of potential incrimination -- even though they insisted it did not imply the doctor had broken the law. They also emphasized that pleading the Fifth does not imply an underlying crime was committed and in fact can be a strategy taken by innocent people to avoid being coerced into making incriminating statements. O'Connor's strategy tracks closely with decisions by more than 30 witnesses who testified before the Democrat-led committee to investigate the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the riots at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Those witnesses all asserted their Fifth Amendment rights on a question-by-question basis. In those cases, the committee was unable to pierce the privilege but pointed to those invocations in its final report as a significant barrier.The media's take was that these assertions of the fifth amendment proved criminal conduct then. Now, of course, they apply a completely different rule.
Congress can grant this scumbag criminal immunity for his testimony, in which case he can no longer plead the Fifth. I hope this is what they do.
...
However, O'Connor's invocation is already providing fodder for Oversight Committee Republicans. "By pleading the fifth at his deposition today, Dr. Kevin O'Connor just confirmed what we all suspected: this was a coordinated cover-up to hide the truth about Joe Biden's condition--and who's really been running the show behind the scenes," said Rep. William Timmons (R-S.C.) posted on X. A spokesperson for Biden's office declined to comment.

I have an OT question or tiny rant. Is it me or are some people stuck in conspiracy theories? A blog I regularly visit is convinced the flooding...of a known flood plain and the sorrow that has resulted...in Texas was from cloud seeding and weather manipulation.
I may be the stupid one in thinking that if an area floods every 25yrs or 500yrs it is a flood plain. And that not every single bad thing that happens is a conspiracy.
Suppose I could join reddit, where I simply skim to laugh, and ask AITAH, which is the favorite stuff I read.
Either I am the AH or I have suddenly sprouted new brain cells and am smarter than people. Or I have common sense as well as being a former supermodel.

Its been my impression that the senile pervert needs a slew of drugs to keep living even in his semi-vegetative state; so I figured they could easily slip in a placebo for one or two of the drugs and send Joe to eternal rest. Course that is just my impression, not like I cared enough to try to gather any facts on that pervert's medical condition.

the CEO for the company that did some seeding said it was two days before the flooding, and that any effects would have dissipated long before the big rains.
idk much about it, but that makes sense to me. They drop the crystals (?) and they yield fairly immediate response.
Seems authorities gave much more advanced warnings for the New Mexico flash flooding, from what I saw.

What was his doctor doing to keep him going, week to week, working with Jill and Hunter to pro him up for various events, to hide his health issues/mental deficiencies?
It's one thing to be wrong during an annual exam - oops, didn't run a test I should have, didn't pick up on a minor symptom, or hey, he lied to me about how he was feeling. However, if you are tending to him on an ongoing basis, managing his prescriptions, advising his team on his capabilities/limitations, you are complicit in the fake presidency, bigly.

People get on social media and spout off. Other people read it and repeat it. People get emotional on the issue. It becomes ingrained in your mind. No amount of evidence that it's wrong will ever cause you to rethink your position.
It causes the citizenry to become emotional and divided on issues, even ones where there's no reasonable cause for division. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say that this phenomenon is one of the main reasons that the intelligence agencies funded the creation of social media.

Yeah, I agree that it's the constantly being lied to that draws suspicion.
With the cloud seeding, it would be nice to know who's doing it, when and where. After decades of things like FBI kneejerk "not terrorism" after a jihadi attack in the US, and the covid shenanigans, it's easy to become suspicious of any immediate dismissal of concern.
I am tired on conspiracy theories, too.
Posted by: Lizzy at July 09, 2025 01:32 PM (GbwPZ)
The doctor had no choice. He may not violate a patient's privilege. The MAGTs knew this. They got what they wanted.
Exactly. We could not hear the truth about The Felon's “Ear wound” due to HIPAA. So we shouldn’t hear from Joe Biden’s doctors either. They should decline to testify.
Why should he answer? It's just a fucking witch hunt. Biden. Is. No. Longer. President. Why are they doing this? What political points could they hope to score?
They want to invalidate every piece of legislation signed into law by Biden.
Meanwhile a raving lunatic is sitting in the Oval Office destroying the U.S. government and our standing in the world while the GOP-controlled Congress fiddles
The doors that they force open cannot be closed again. This will be used against them in the future.

Agree. Social media has really done a number on people. I don't watch the news due to the angst it was causing me a decade after 9/11. I no longer worry about much of anything, which may put me as a weirdo. Nor am I glued to my phone as many are while walking, which I note in my stats as being strange.
The person who frets about conspiracy theories seems to do it a whole lot. This lady appears to be either a widow or a divorcee who ran her dude away from her fretting. If it is not the You-craine it is now cloud seeding. I have more weirdness I won't repeat due to HIPPA (ok, that is bs I just threw in).
So I am backing away from this other blog carefully and with much grace and politeness.To not set off grenades and wailing of the others. I come here instead to cuss and mock, as it is much more fun.

You can blame the fedgov, corporations, and Democrats for destroying public trust by their patent lies, evil doings like Covid, gaslighting, etc.
When one lives in a low trust society, it is very hard to figure out what is true, what is false, and who is good and who is evil.

Nearly every day for at least two decades pharmaceutical drugs have been brought by the carload to the Capitol — an arrangement so under the radar that even pharmacy lobbyists who regularly pitch Congress on their industry aren’t aware of it.

Mike Kim, the reserved pharmacist-turned-owner of the pharmacy, said he has gotten used to knowing the most sensitive details about some of the most famous people in Washington.
“At first it’s cool, and then you realize, I’m filling some drugs that are for some pretty serious health problems as well. And these are the people that are running the country,” Kim said, listing treatments for conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

Overvalued imho as people and companies are figuring out that AI is not a short term profitability booster. Something like 80-85 percent of Nvidia's earnings now come from AI chips and projected demand for them in the future.
Plus, over reliance on TSMC as a foundry means Nvidia stock is very vulnerable to supply shocks if TSMC botches a transition like Intel did in the last decade.

Ugh. My FIL has gone off the deep end on so many stupid conspiracy theories. He's 100% convinced chemtrails are real. He religiously reads Q dispatches. He knows I don't believe it's real, and he recently sent me "proof."
His proof: DJT & Melania stepped out on the WH balcony at 1716 hours EDT. At 1717 hours, the Star Spangled Banner commenced, along with the B2 and F35 flyover. DJT's speech began at 1721 hours. The Anons and myself called it...things would begin at 1717 hours. QQ! Many other Comms were in his speech."
What a load of crap. Someone looked at the official, published schedule and made some guesses about when the event would actually start, throwing in some 17s. I've no idea what the significance of 17 should be.
Even so, they artificially attached the "beginning" to the Star Spangled Banner. Why then? Why not when Trump and Melania stepped onto the balcony? Because that's not when they predicted things would start, of course. So stupid.

The cloud seeding is a bit silly. But it is true that most development in the last 100 years or so tends to exacerbate flooding. Wide areas are paved so runoff is instant, swamps are not allowed to flood to form a buffer 'cache' for water to slowly drain or pool. But little is done to find a replacement for the natural system. My neighborhood growing up had a stream that they turned into a narrow gorge as they put parks on either side due to development. One thunderstorm moved along the course of the stream and filled the gorge to within a foot of the top and our house was a little below the crown. The flood went over the top of the road and formed a dam and flooded a schoolyard.

The doc apparently appeared, at least for the closed-door part of the process, the deposition, right?
Invocation of doctor/patient confidentiality would cover a lot, but not, as you point out, any public statements.
So the hook for contempt of Congress here would be what exactly? If he appeared in the open session, took the 5th and cited doctor/patient for some things, he'd be in the clear? Of course if he couldn't dodge inquiry about his public statements, that would be the point, right?

Those records are produced specifically with use in court in mind.
=====
It’s dependent on how the order/request is written. They can get the actual records if they request them as recorded during the course of care. If they request an abstract, then someone inside the organization reviews the records and writes a summary - that’s when things can be “edited.”
However, an organization can refuse to prepare an abstract and just send the actual records.
I did this for 25 years. My lazy ass boss got tired of writing abstracts and consulted with our attorneys who advised her we could just send the records. Abstracts are usually requested because the requested doesn’t want to pour over voluminous pages or they don’t want to pay a clinician to review the same.

If you get a large enough number of humans, you can produce some sort of probability rules that apply to masses but it is a ecological fallacy to then apply that with any certainty to the behavior of specific individuals.

With granted immunity by Congress, whether transactional or absolute, he can be compelled to testify or be held in contempt--civil or criminal . I could be wrong but I also think that doctor patient privilege might not apply to Congress as an investigatory matter.
That privilege is created by law, not the Constitution, and thus has limits prescribed by laws which in this case would be written by Congress itself.

Sex is a powerful motivator for human behavior, and people you have kompromat on are easier to control. People don't generally want to give you kompromat on them though, and in our degraded culture you have to go very low to get it - would anyone much care if our elites were having sex with willing adults?
So then the question becomes is it more likely someone could run an operation like Epstein's independently for decades, or that they would need the protection of a government.
And is it more likely a no one with no money like Epstein could get this ball rolling on his own...or with the aid of a government with substantial resources?

He probably never heard of a PSA at his osteopathy doctor school.
I do note he has a chest full of medals. I don't care what he did, I don't understand the chests full of medals when I compare them to President Eisenhower and my Marine father's medals (he was a Sgt in WWII).
Do they now get medals for latrine duty? Good behavior? Seriously, why does he have so many medals? I may be wrong, but it seems excessive for the short man.

Similar flooding in the area of Camp Mystic in 1987, so I read. It happens. Which is why one does not build a house in a flood plain (our house rules). Huge dumps of water, while rare, open it up again. As we saw in NC last fall. That I thought was super weird until I read it happens after hurricanes. Rare, thankfully.

As a matter of law, I don't think that doctor-client privilege even applies to congressional investigations. It certainly does not as far as public reports.
Privilege is a creature of statutory law (and common law which does not officially exist after the Erie doctrine for federal courts). It is not constitutional in nature like the 5th is. FWIW, the congressional power to investigate is held to be an inherent power of legislative bodies dating back to the fights between Parliament and the King. So Congress has a constitutional power to investigate for wrongdoing in other branches, for lawmaking purposes, and for policy setting.
The Trump Jan 6 subpoenas cases involving Pelosi's Congress reemphasized Congressional power to investigate and override statutory privacy even in the case of tax returns.

The weapons, if they still have S/Ns, are potentially traceable. As for the other items, if they used a credit/debit card to buy them that is an easy A. These people don't strike me as masterminds. Unlike the 1990s eco-terrorists which used individual "direct action" tactics the SOBs are forming quasi-military squads. This is a very Antifa approach and implies there is, at a minimum, a flat ad-hoc infrastructure behind all this. After the Summer of Love there were a number of new reports that Antifa type peeps were actively acquiring firearms and training to use them. To some degree we are now seeing the fruit of all that.

Back to the topic...one would THINK the wee doctor could answer if a PSA was done yearly for the demented President. Plead the 5th.

Probably 95 percent of humans live on a flood plain of some description. The others live in avalanche zones.

So, they changed the direction of the upper current winds? Hurricanes rely on the upper current steering winds to move. Which city? Which hurricane?

My guess would be that the change plain air to rain droplets all at once imbalanced the storm and changed the interaction between the storm and the air. Kind of like if you were pushing a box with 2 hands and magically all the weight in it went to the left side. Its gonna lurch off to one side until things rebalance.

Harvey. Got stalled between two high-pressure ridges and didn't move for days. We got 30+ inches of rain and the water came to within 10 feet of the house.

Happened once when I lived in Chicago, a thunderstorm got stalled by the lake and just rained in one spot until it dissipated. Think it was 17 inches of rain. Since Chicago was so flat, any depression was flooded. Made it to work the next morning but had to divert around any underpasses since they were about 10 foot deep. At the industrial suite I was consulting at there were ornamental ponds and the last building where I worked had the road flooded to it, but the grass verge was out of the water, so I parked in another lot. I was the only one there besides the owner, so eventually got sent home.

Actually, Tampon Tim is the one who really sets off that alarm for me. Though the doctor does give me the creeps.

Yeah, nothing like being at an age where the eventual side effects of a drug probably won't manifest before other more serious health issues show up.

There was an old mayor of some town during the asbestos panic that was told he'd have to pay x zillion dollars to clear some asbestos in their school or else everyone would die. He just went in and did it himself since he was in his 80s and possible cancer in 20 years didn't scare him.

Don't know about the actual area of the floods but at a nearby animal sanctuary that had their road going in washed out and had some streamers come in and get a temporary patch road in there are wooded strips where you have streams or ponds. At the sanctuary they found someone unknown had capped one of the culverts to trap water on their road so it went over the top and washed all but a footpath off.

When gambling was legalized on 'riverboats' in Chicago a bit after a man came home to find his wife had run up 70000 in debts...and this was in the 80s.

It would be ironic if this bottom-of-the-barrel doctor was the reason Biden didn't get diagnosed earlier with cancer.
