The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

FallingMan911.jpg

24 years ago our relaxed post-cold-war, end-of-history world changed.

But did it? Or was it that our perspective had become so relaxed that we lost sight of the reality of the human condition, and the even more brutal reality that there were, are, and always will be forces aligned against the best and highest expression of our humanity.

Part of the problem is that we have also lost sight of what that humanity is, and have lost sight of the true face of those who are allied against that humanity.

Our founders knew very well what that humanity is, and knew that without a robust structure protecting it, we would lose it. Our glorious Constitution gave us that structure, and the Bill Of Rights codified the rights that must be protected.

But the true face of those who would destroy our humanity is difficult to discern in a world that carefully rejects clear morality, and much prefers the murky and unstructured view that we are all able to create a moral and ethical structure out of whole cloth.

We can't. There is evil in this world, and no amount of obfuscation and moral relativism can hide that. Islam is evil, and its single-minded purpose is the destruction of exactly what makes us human. And those who would subvert the essence of what makes us unique are also evil. Celebrating transsexualism, stealing our free speech, destroying the family, making love of God a nasty punchline, killing the most innocent among us... all of this and more conspires to steal our individualism and make us just cogs in their infernal machine.

Because evil will never rest, and will do whatever it takes to destroy those who love and respect humanity, we must be vigilant forever.

And there are those among us who are more than vigilant. We are blessed with people who not only are aware of the evil around us, but also join the fight against it.

There was no one in the world who fought harder and better against the encroaching evil than Charlie Kirk. Not with his fists, but with his intellect and wits and love of humanity.

Charlie Kirk was our Happy Warrior!

Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he

That every man in arms should wish to be?

--It is the generous Spirit, who, when brought

Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought

Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:

Whose high endeavours are an inward light

That makes the path before him always bright;

Who, with a natural instinct to discern

What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn;

Abides by this resolve, and stops not there,

But makes his moral being his prime care;

Who, doomed to go in company with Pain,

And Fear, and Bloodshed, miserable train!

Turns his necessity to glorious gain;

In face of these doth exercise a power

Which is our human nature's highest dower

The arrant nonsense spewed by evil that Charlie Kirk was a racist and a Nazi and a White Supremacist and hated gays doesn't survive a cursory examination of his work. His skill at refuting evil while still able to smile and love was astonishing, and it is all the more impressive when one appreciates the vitriol that was heaped on him everywhere he went. But he kept doing it, and he made a real difference.

When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens. When civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues. When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group.

What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have reasonable disagreement -- where violence is not an option.

-- Charlie Kirk

The question before us today is whether the evil that is arrayed against humanity can be combated with talking. Some of it? Certainly? But when it crosses into violence, what should good people do?

19 "24 years ago our relaxed post-cold-war, end-of-history world changed"

Yes, change it did. We started importing millions of unvetted slimy murderous Muslims. We did nothing while they attacked us and metastasized into an incurable cancer that is still killing the country today.

We also started surveilling and harassing our own citizens in a way that would make Orwell blush. We did nothing when we realized this new system was being used by Democraps as weapons against their political enemies (us).

I wish I was more optimistic today. I'm not. With the pretty girl murdered earlier this week, Charlie murdered yesterday, and 9-11 today, I'm only reminded that no matter how much we talk and brag about how great Trump is doing -- and he is -- the reality is we are still the prey, and we don't seem to want to do anything about it.

22 Remember. The overwhelming sentiment from the left today is Kirk BROUGHT THIS UPON HIMSELF.

Because words. Not violent words. Not hateful words. Because he opened the table for discussion and debate. Open debate. He didn't argue. He didn't demean. He didn't insult. He debated. He brought his thoughts and ideas to the table and opened them for rebuttal.

They MURDERED him for it. This world will not be the same again, nor should it.

Today is a VERY dark day. I hate today. I hate what they've done. I don't like hate and have been doing everything in my power to remove hate from my being.

They drug me back in.......

Start shooting back, I imagine.

And normals are going to have to risk imprisonment and martyrdom.

I pray that it doesn't come to that, but since the fringe is close to becoming the larger part of the carpet, how do you vote your way out of this mess? How do you fight toxic culture when it's being taught in the schools everyday, to millions of children? I honestly don't know.

Of course. However, stating that you don't agree with "most things" Kirk said, you're within the grasp of evil and will spend eternity in darkness and horror.

He was not an evil man. He spread no violence. He spoke of God and from the heart.

Western Lensman @WesternLensman

Less than 24 hours after Charlie Kirk was gunned down, Dem Rep Seth Moulton attacks “right wing extremists” as the cause of the vast majority of political violence in the country.

"We need to be honest as a nation, about where this violence is coming from."

He then adds obligatory attacks on conservatives and guns.

Absolutely loathsome.

Vile.

73 Remember. The overwhelming sentiment from the left today is Kirk BROUGHT THIS UPON HIMSELF.

Because words. Not violent words. Not hateful words. Because he opened the table for discussion and debate. Open debate. He didn't argue. He didn't demean. He didn't insult. He debated. He brought his thoughts and ideas to the table and opened them for rebuttal.

They MURDERED him for it. This world will not be the same again, nor should it.

Today is a VERY dark day. I hate today. I hate what they've done. I don't like hate and have been doing everything in my power to remove hate from my being.

This is more of the "Credible Source Self-Blindness of the Left".

The Joe and Jane Blow Democrats don't have to think about this horrible political murder because
"he was a hater/whatever/fill in the blank, and

he brought this on himself!

So, no thought required. Onto the next outrage as defined by the MSM and Credible Sources.

Steve Guest@SteveGuest
In the wake of Charlie Kirk being assassinated, CBS Mornings host Nate Burleson tells former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy that it's REPUBLICANS that really need to watch their rhetoric:
"Speaking of this tragedy, is this a moment for your party to reflect on political violence, is it a moment for us to think about the responsibility of our political leaders and their voices and what it does to the masses as they get lost in misinformation or disinformation that turns in and spills in to political violence?"

Now I'm curious about what Iowahawk disagreed with him about. That a good life is one oriented to God and the family? That the US is still a great nation? The the best way to persuade is to meet in person and discuss civilly? C'mon Iowahawk, you should provide some details.
Posted by: Chuck Martel at September 11, 2025 11:11 AM (Dv3i1)

My best guess is Iowahack was trying to distance himself from Charlie's strong religious beliefs. You know, because they are icky and the thing that most drives the left insane and murderous.

I'm not religious myself, but I'm having a hard time finding a political or cultural position that I had a material disagreement with Charlie on. In fact, on the main issues I think we were in perfect agreement.

I'm not nearly as nice as him, though. I'm much more hot tempered and want to see more blood of my enemies.

Charlie was a martyr for both his political beliefs and the rock solid Christianity that he openly testified to.

Don't hate--but speak truth to any leftist around who do hate that their ideology is a lie, their prince is Stan, and their pride will goeth before a downfall. The Bible and Truth are the two things that the left cannot abide and it scalds them inside to the extent they gloat as they reveled in the killing the kids in the Sanctuary--Where is your G_d now? I suspect they are going to see the backhand of that soon.

Try reading Psalm 5 (or any of the other excellent Psalms). The left have defied the Lord and he will do his justice in due time to them.

81 Repeating something I commented on in the previous thread, since it ties into 9/11:

I thought I'd wake up in despair today, and I'm not. I don't know why, but my social media algorithms last night were pulling up young gen z and millennials talking how inspirational Charlie was, the knowledge and hope he gave to them, and how they are going to take his message of courage and love and God and move forward with it.

That surprised me. But it also comforted me as I drifted off to sleep. There are still good people out there, and a young generation waking up to the evil in their midst and wanting to do something useful about it.

There are the dumpster fire people on the left and right, of course. The ones dancing on his grave or calling for civil war. But the messages I saw last night and am seeing today? It's more like the feeling on 9/12, the day after the twin towers fell, where people united in love and community. I didn't think I'd ever get that feeling back. Glad to have it today of all days.

Bless Charlie for his messages on courage and faith resonating the way they have, and for the new generations bringing a message of hope, not hate, to the world. May his words inspire.

83 @32...I wonder whether Patel and Bongino will settle for it. It must be tempting to see that "evidence" and say "we got him". Both men are experienced enough to be suspicious, and likewise to wonder whether they are personally being played, and by whom. If they don't take what's been offered up so easily, this could drag on and make them look very bad. Which might be tje point. The safe play is just to take what's on offer. The clever set move is to take what's on offer but silently and discreetly continue investigating. Their organization might not let that happen though. They can't really trust too many people. The possibility that the Kirk assassination might be a means to an end...get rid of Patel/Bongino....cannot be dismissed.

Iowahawk turned out to be a Mitt Romney republican, and was mostly a never-trumper. Fortunately he's chosen to drop out of politics almost completely, and has an amusing X account where he makes some small commentary and posts great threads about Old Cars and Americana on the weekends. Similar path to Lileks.

And I'm not being critical of them, I'm actually quite glad to see someone who isn't with us to just drop out of the discussion for good and pursue their own lives and interests.

The music was good, we had no idea that Sept 11 would become a day of infamy, no one would have ever traded their freedom for the illusion of safety, and political assassination was something that could not ever happen in the United States.
His answer? Yeh but Ronnie had his finger on the boom button and we were all gonna die in a mushroom cloud, the media said, so it musta been true! Too bad we didn't meet and have our kids before we all died.

93 MSNBC's Matthew Dowd Fired Following Charlie Kirk Shooting Comments. What he said was responsible journalism. The fact that he was fired for saying that is a sign that we're living under fascism.

This has nothing to do with the first amendment! The government isn't punishing him, his employer is. You can disagree with that, but it still has nothing to do with the government taking away freedom of speech.

Tell that to Colbert. Expect more terminations of late night hosts at networks.

The government is actively threatening and sanctioning media to say or not say things. How is that not messing with the 1st Amendment?

contrary to popular belief, MSNBC, is not a liberal network. It is fitting that Dowd was fired while being interviewed by the clueless Katy Tur.

The general format of MSM tv news is just gross. I appreciate the commentary of many journalists, but ultimately these news organizations serve corporate interests and, increasingly, white nationalism.

Dowd certainly spoke the truth about the environment created by the rw haters. It's only recently they've been able to crawl out, be recognized, and be platformed.

=======
Iowahawk and a lot of other secular types often grew up in fairly religious circumstances either directly via family or indirectly via their society around them. Somewhere along the way, usually through education, friends, etc., they pick up the nasty habit of bigotry where they dismiss the Bible as fairy stories, they dismiss the good because they saw hypocrisy (preachers on the take, claiming virtue when promiscuous, etc. etc.) and come to the conclusion that religion is just fake and a superstitions of a past age.

They begin to make themselves into their own idols and if it feels good, do it becomes the mantra. Some maintain the facade of religious attendance for social reasons but they migrate to those churches that put up Coexist, speak of love, not duties, and put as little of a burden on sinners as possible to keep them coming to that church.

But remember - bullet analysis will quickly show whether or not this was the actual weapon. One disparity; there seems to be a disagreement about whether one shot or two shots were fired. All early reports, so I'll wait to see if this is resolved.

They want the world to know it was them who murdered and why.

"Daddy a plane just hit that building".

I was on the Southeast Expressway heading to Logan Airport for a flight to LaGuardia to meet my east coast regional manager to visit some customers in NYC. He was in NJ driving to the train station to grab the PATH train to the station under the WTC.

He told me he just heard on the radio that a plane hit the WTC. We both thought it was probably one of the traffic flights that give updates on the news. I told him my flight might be delayed because of it and I'd call him from Logan.

By the time I got to Logan all hell was breaking loose. One of the restaurants was just setting up for the day but they let those of us who were there, turned on the TVs and gave us free coffee. And then every cop in the world descended on us and told us we had 10 minutes to get out of the airport or we would be detained.

My mom lost a cousin who was at work in the WTC. I will never forget that day.

But I find my reaction today quite different; maybe because I remember being through these things before, maybe because I'm not really surprised at all. I can't feel much emotion at all, even though I should - I just feel incredibly cold. Bone chillingly cold, especially when I think about those who organized and cheered for this end.

I think the conglomeration of lies that the left has told are beginning to be rectified in society. The reason is leftism is a sterile and nihilistic philosophy that drives its adherents into abjectly denying reality. When reality, like a person's sex id is not changed by medicine, intrudes, it makes them intensely unhappy blaming others for their own unhappiness. Ditto for their miserable attachment to DEI where even they fear being cancelled if they are not up to the message by the minute. They live in shadows, exist on bile, hate and lies, even consumption of material things never fills their hollow lives; there is no light in them.

I like the part where they say that both trans and anti fascist slogans were found on the bullet that killed CK.

They say CK was wearing body armor, and they also say that the sniper used a "high powered rifle". Now I know the enemedia is clueless about firearms and too lazy to look up ballistic armor, but for a round fired from a high powered rifle to "ricochet" off of the bullet proof vest CK would have to have been wearing class IV shell plate and that would be obvious as hell under a T-shirt.

And a bullet that slammed into a vest? How in Hell is any writings on the bullet, let alone a slogan or two, in any readable state?

178 Here's a very good analysis of the probable assassin.

The first and most important rule in this kind of investigation is: when you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras.

In political assassinations, as an ordinary murders, the correct suspect is usually the most obvious suspect. Airport-thriller-style convoluted plots and false-flag ops pulled off by unlikely people or organizations are rare in the real world.

Accordingly, when you're trying to solve a political assassination, the right question to ask is "Who said they wanted him dead?"

Then, you infiltrate those organizations, or arrest a bunch of members, and do contact tracing. Usually you do in fact find your killer that way. It's not very different from ordinary police work except for the stakes.

There are broadly speaking three different kinds of assassin: the nutter, the zealot, and the pro. They are not difficult to distinguish once you got your hands on them.

Dave Rubin had a nice quick vid about Charlie yesterday, after the news about him being shot emerged, but before we learned that he had passed away. Dave is gay and married and has two adopted kids. So clearly he and Charlie disagreed on LGBT issues and lifestyle choices. But he said Charlie was always, always, respectful and kind to him, and they had dinners together and were friends. They became friends early on in his conversion to conservatism, and stayed friends.

That's how it should be. Charlie lived what he taught, and spoke the truth as he saw it, but was always willing to open up a dialogue or open up a hand of welcome.

Universities are the “proving grounds” and training centers for all sorts of fvckery. I recall when “political correctness” was ridiculed as a joke. “Wait till those idiots get out in the real world”.

Not so funny anymore, is it? Shooting people for ideas they don’t like, they are making the “real world” conform to them, not the other way around. Terrorism works.

201 He didn't say that. He said "person of interest" or "suspect." The guy was questioned and released, which Patel also tweeted out.

The "suspect" was arrested by local police because he appeared to have a scoped rifle in his car. It turned out to be a break barrel pellet rifle. So Nah.

Adopted kids? Does he? I know he was working on the twisted method of attempting to combine the DNA of he and his 'partner' and inseminating a 3rd party.....or were they just doing artificial insemination of 2 willing participants......I don't remember, because, well........because.

I'm not the one to lecture but we operate inside the law and keep faith with the Rule of Law. I don't like it, but this is the way. I prefer blood, fire and vengeance but that can't be controlled and even I fear what it would turn me into. I could kill thousands without blinking an eye.

A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers

2) Hey, things are going pretty good right now. Here's some random annoyance or problem or crisis that has nothing in particular to do with you, but it's on your plate now. Deal with it.
3) I've been working so long to achieve these things, why can't I break through and achieve them?

Anyway, that's life. So, my method is nose-to-grindstone and esp concentrate on all the good things in your life, because there are plenty of them, and if you think about it, God has been very very very merciful to you in the past and will be again. So, be sure to thank Him and be grateful.

Hope that helps a bit.

Meanwhile, those like Derrick Chauvin, the January 6th protesters and Daniel Penny are treated completely unfairly and corruptly.

Conservatives know that if they take matters into their own hands, imprisonment and martyrdom is the most likely result.

Because a few Orem PD and the campus cops were the first ones responding (IIRC six or so). The old dude was apparently behaving weirdly and the second dude apparently had a pellet gun in his possession moving through the area. It was not as if the Secret Service had a cordon around the entire area with outside vetting.


Meanwhile, in the confusion, the apparent murderer ran and escaped but there was never a cordon around the scene taht would have prevented him/it from leaving as he merged with the rest of the confused mass of students leaving the event in every which way.

So the one or two resident FBI agents at Orem probably arrived at the scene with the cops already having the old bald guy in custody and the sweep caught up a dude with the pellet gun. This was mebbe 30-60 minutes at a minimum so the shooter was well clear of campus by that time. Inevitable delay and confusion.

237 My three reflections on 9/11 are the big mistakes we made by responding in anger:

1. Invading Afghanistan. I have no problem with deploying specops and intelligence assets around the world to find bin Laden and paint his position for an incoming warhead. Committing all that military blood and treasure to prop up a non-Taliban government was a stupid waste.

2. Department of Homeland Security. It was mind-boggling to me how quickly this effort got compromised. It was created out of post 9/11 grief, saying, if only we'd done X, Y, and Z, this attack could have been permitted. So let's do X, Y, and Z now. Locking the barn door after the horse was stolen, as it were.

3. TSA. Practical measures in securing commercial flights included reinforced cockpit doors, in-flight security protocols, and passenger vigilance following the example of United 93. The airport security scanning process is a costly and useless farce.

God bless the victims and their families.

271 They were on the unfired bullets still in the chamber in the rifle they found.

You can only have at most one bullet in the chamber at any given time. They said that "the bullet that killed CK" which would have been fired and would have been scuffed up by the rifling and the impact.

So if they found additional rounds, then yes one could be in the chamber if the perp intended to take up a second shot before defill. If there were more then if a "bolt-action" its a cartridge with a couple more, or a box feed, which exchanges reliability for volume of fire and indicates something else.

278 As Niall Ferguson said today, Bin Laden declared war on the non-Islamic world. He claimed Islam requires that war. Bush refused to listen to Bin Laden describe his motives, because Bush thought we should avoid conflict with the numerous Muslims, and that's why Bush goes down in history as an ignoramus.

After the north tower was hit, we were all at the windows watching it burn. I saw several jumpers. I saw a guy trying to climb out a window with other guys trying to pull him up to the window of the floor above. He fell. We were watching and people were crying when the south tower, about 25 yards away, was hit right in front of us. Debris blew out most of our windows and we ran, Elevators didn't work so we had to take stairs down.

284 Kirk was right about the consequences of conversation failing, but I also think he was underestimating how committed the left is...

the leaders, to killing and enslaving us for their own benefit
the thug followers of all stripes, to rape, murder, and pillage
the freaks and various eco-cultists, to their anti-civilizational rage
the cat ladies, adjuncts, and librarians, to their delusional neuroticism

I bring up Spain a lot. Does anyone think in 1933 that talking was going to solve anything? Leftism is a fanatical death cult that has no use for words. It's like they have the islamic concept of taqqiya... and NOTHING else, no underpinning values whatsoever other than the will to power.

Reaching out to young progtards and engaging in talk is worthwhile, you can save some. But you cannot avoid the actual conflict entirely at some point, when the infestation is this large, and this old. The leaders that know exactly what they are doing committed to their path knowing where it goes.

I have a neighbor up the street who's a liberal douche from Wisconsin. He's a CNN watcher. He's woefully ignorant on the truth.

My black neighbor watches MSNBC, so it goes without saying he's mentally damaged on the ways of actual society. Once accused me of not caring or wanting to hear his opinion because he's black. We were close friends for 20 years. I have moved away from that friendship ever since. I don't think he understands why.

Society is f*cked and the media is why.

130 ATF and other law-enforcement located an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus. The location of the firearm appears to match the suspects route of travel. The spent cartridge was still chambered in addition to three unspent rounds at the top fed magazine. All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.

It’s no mistake or accident that the Universities are where the censorship and mob actions and deplatforming mentality are both practiced and then rolled out into larger society.

Charlie was “deplatformed” and the usual suspects are cheering. They’ve never experienced any pushback, and are apparently completely unaware that shooting ranges are not strictly one way only affairs. It’s impossible to watch, but we really are destined to repeat history, because people really are that stupid, in aggregate.

The .30-06 (technically the .30-06 Springfield cartridge, pronounced "thirty- aught -six") was introduced to the United States Army in 1906 (hence the '-06') and remained in military use until the late 1970s.

It is an excellent hunting cartridge, and can be used for any game in North America (although I'd personally prefer something else for Kodiak bears).

201 163 ... "I'm not familiar with guns, but a .30-06 is a large caliber, no?"

It's considered a large caliber, especially for the 20th century. It was the US military rifle cartridge from WW I through at least Korea. It can take any big game and has been used for long range target shooting. Powerful, accurate and deadly.

Posted by: Imagine at September 11, 2025 10:17 AM (qUkBO)

206 205 Interesting, that. Equally interesting is whether that caliber was factory-authorised or after-purchase mod. Mauser's most popular round was 7.92 x 57 (a/k/a '8mm'). It's what my K-98 used (yeah, the WWII-issue Mauser). My M-1 is .30-06, and the Colt is still .45 ACP.

I have my grandfather's rifle. It's a J.C. Higgins (Sears mail-order house brand) but the action is 100% Mauser. Chambered in .270 Winchester. Best trigger I've ever felt and drives tacks at 300 yards. Unreal rifle.

Posted by: dantesed

Without getting into a lot of nuance, yes, a 30-06 is a full-power rifle cartridge. Still very popular for hunting and older sniper rifles. It was the caliber for US rifles in WW1 (M1903 Springfield) and WW2 (M1 Garand), but was too powerful for more modern assault rifles using an intermediate cartridge.

Good question, a self-named group exclusively made of radical young men in the US and UK who make a big noise on X and who claim to be "conservative" and support Trump, but who mainly post nasty attacks on most everyone, especially women and Israel. Trump was criticized because years ago he met one of their so-called leaders once, Nick Fuentes. (Trump had no idea who he was, some staffer set it up) They have made themselves repulsive to everyone else on the conservative side.

That he was student age makes the "professional killer" less likely. The Antifa stuff (if true) could be diversionary.

It's almost impossible to reason with someone who has that viewpoint, and that's why Charlie Kirk was shot.

The Althouse definition of Charlie Kirk's "hateful rhetoric"

"From what I can see, it's basically about disinclusiveness. He said people who identify as trans are not 'normal.' He said the U.S. system of government was designed for Christians and won't work without Christians. He held strongly to a principle that subordinated women's bodily freedom to the right to life of the unborn. You can defend things like that as not based on hate, but I think that is what the people who are saying 'hateful' are talking about."

269 Rep. Dan Goldman on conservatives saying there's a war against them: "That is incredibly dangerous ... I would really urge the president ... to speak out against that ... And I hope these far-right podcasters come to their senses & recognize that this is not war"


Dear Rep. Shithead...
Wrong-o! Your side declared war on the right when you started dehumanizing us. You said we are Nazis and fascists. You called us racist and white supremacist. You said we were evil and filled with hate. You deplatformed us, debanked us, and got us fired from our jobs. Why? Because we fucking disagreed with you. That's it. That's all. We don't agree with the demoncrat ideology and you consider us to be disgusting, insignificant, poisonous insects and encouraged your shock troops of psychotic retards to squash us. You did this. You started this war. You're just trying to save your own worthless hide by saying it's not a war. You started this. You drew first blood, not us. Fuck you and everyone who even considers thinking like you.
You kicked the candle, now WE will dance in the flames. Sleep sweet, motherfucker.

271 Today is Patriot Day & the American flag flown at half-staff in accordance with Federal laws and tradition.* It's a National Day of Service and Remembrance to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost and to recognize the heroism of first responders on 9/11, and the resilience of the American people.

And from yesterday, Wednesday, September 10, through sunset, September 14, 2025, the American flag is also to be flown half-staff as a mark of respect for the memory of Charlie Kirk.
---
Half-staff org: If other flags (state, military, or custom) are flown on the same pole as the U.S. flag, they should either be removed or also flown at half-staff.

Non-standard poles: For flags that cannot be lowered to half-staff, a black mourning ribbon or streamer can be attached to the top of the flagpole as an alternative.

I think there's a non zero (but near zero) chance it was foreign, mostly from Iran who is known to have sent death squads at Trump, choosing to go after allies instead since they can't get close to him.

If that's the case (I lean much more towards lone radical tranny with lots of encouragement online), the goal would only be to hurt Trump without concern for his support politically in America. If they considered that with anything like logic, they wouldn't try it.

You don't make martyrs thinking logically. You do it out of desperation and magical thinking that movements may collapse without one galvanizing figure to unite it.

Which, history tends to show, isn't what actually happens. Martyrs galvanize people much more than living figures do.

There is an ideology that has steadily been growing in this country which hates everything that is good, righteous and beautiful and celebrates everything that is warped, twisted and depraved. It is an ideology at war with family and nature. It is envious, malicious, and soulless. It is an ideology that looks upon the perfect family with bitter rage while embracing the serial criminal with tender warmth. Its adherents organize constantly to tear down and destroy every mark of grace and beauty while lifting up everything monstrous and foul. It is an ideology that leads, always, inevitably and willfully, to violence — violence against those uphold order, who uphold faith, who uphold family, who uphold all that is noble and virtuous in this world. It is an ideology whose one unifying thread is the insatiable thirst for destruction.

We see the workings of this ideology in every posting online cheering the evil assassination that cruelly robbed this nation of one of its greatest men.

Thin Kevlar vests are not that much of a defense to a 30-06 or similar rifle bullet. He would need something like plates for that. An unverified story from a friend of Charlie's speculated that the vest might have deflected the bullet into the neck.

And that is possible depending on the bullet's construction (fmj versus hp versus something like a Corelokt given that the shooting occurred at distance and was not level to the target.

Terminal ballistics is a gruesome subject but a hit like that in that area with that cartridge at that distance would be almost certainly fatal.

Attending Rhodes College, she was advised by a professor that she had too much personality to settle for her plan to become a certified public accountant.

343 The video of Charlie being shot told me it was a caliber beginning in 3. The plate in his concealed plate carrier literally jumped. I am guessing that it was a steel plate that lacked a spall coating to keep the thickness down. I am also guessing it was a bullet fragment/s that killed him.

344 grok defines "good video"

the term "good video" refers to high-quality surveillance footage from campus security cameras that clearly captures the suspect's appearance, movements, and actions before, during, and after the attack. This includes tracking the individual arriving on campus around 11:52 a.m., navigating stairwells to a rooftop shooting position approximately 200 yards from the event, firing the shot that struck Kirk in the neck, jumping off the building, and fleeing into a nearby neighborhood. Officials, including Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason and FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls, described the footage during a September 11 press conference as sufficiently detailed and reliable for investigators to confidently identify the suspect—a male appearing to be of college age who "blended in" with students—without immediate public release. They emphasized it as a key lead, alongside recovered evidence like a high-powered bolt-action rifle, palm/forearm prints, and a footwear impression, but withheld it to avoid compromising the ongoing manhunt. If identification efforts fail, authorities indicated they would release it publicly for tips.

I thought I'd wake up in despair today, and I'm not. I don't know why, but my social media algorithms have been pulling up young gen z and millennials talking hoe inspirational Charlie was, the knowledge and hope he gave to them, and how they are going to take his message of courage and love and god and move forward with it.

There are the dumpster fire people on the left and right, of course. The ones dancing on his grave or calling for civil war. But the feeling I'm seeing? It's more like the feeling on 9/12 the day after the twin towers fell, and people united in love and community. I didn't think I'd ever get that feeling back. Glad to have it today if all days.

410 Crockett was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to parents Rev. Joseph and Gwen Crockett.
She attended Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School and Rosati-Kain, an all-girls Catholic high school in St. Louis.

And that's about as high falutin' as it gets. Because MOST Catholic high schools in St. Louis are co-ed.

Cassidy Statement on Trump Designating Antifa as Domestic Terrorists
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) issued the following statement today after President Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terror organization.

“Looting, destroying personal property, and violence cannot be tolerated. Antifa seized upon a movement of legitimate grievances to promote violence and anarchy, working against justice for all. The President is right to recognize the destructive role of Antifa by designating them domestic terrorists,” Dr. Cassidy said.

In July 2019, Cassidy and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced a resolution in the Senate to condemn the violent acts of Antifa and to designate the group a domestic terror organization.

And the political rhetoric dehumanizing everyone that disagrees with them, even if it's ok only 10% of issues. And the hearts waxing cold between generations, which as the Bible said will lead to the world being cursed.

There is so much to fix mentally and morally in this country before we even go to guns as a conversation.

The Morning Report — 9/11/25

AbeandCharlie.jpg

Good morning kids. It is bitterly ironic that Charlie Kirk, who indeed was a voice of sanity and reason for his generation and indeed for all real Americans, was silenced by an assassin's bullet on the eve of the 24th anniversary of the 9/11/01 attack. His martyrdom at the hands of a crazed Leftist, despite the despicable remark I saw somewhere claiming that he was shot by accident from a gun-toting supporter who fired off a celebratory round or some such bilge. Beyond that, we have Democrat pols and pundits doing what Muslims did 24 years ago as the Twin Towers collapsed, ululating and passing out candy. They are celebrating Kirk's murder while blaming him for his demise. His rhetoric you see caused his demise. Like the rape victim who dressed too provocatively, or Iryna Zaretska who exposed her white neck on a Charlotte tram car to Black the Ripper's knife and only has herself to blame.

One of the most horrendous examples was that Matthew Dowd subhuman waste-of-life from MSNBC or as I label it MSNSDAP. I'm actually shocked that MSNSDAP fired Dowd, considering this is the whorehouse that continues to give a platform to one of this nation's most execrable fomenters of violence in its history, that of the hideous so-called "Reverend" Al Sharpton.

Not to be outdone was bipedal Cesspool JB Pritzker, who as Illinois governor is awash in the blood of innocent Chicagoans as he lets that once great city once home to numerous slaughterhouses and known as the hog butcher of the world degenerate into a slaughterhouse of citizens as criminals roam at will to terrorize the people. But I digress.

Remember how they cheered and made Luigi Mangione a folk hero. I cannot wait to see how Charlie Kirk's assassin is canonized. May the day come when the Left is cannonized from 30MM fire of A-10 Warthogs on a strafing run. Rhetorically speaking of course /s.

When do we get to strike back. When do we get to declare "Never Again" and defend ourselves. If the rule of law means nothing to them, and like President Trump relying on a justice system that is out to destroy him in order to seek justice, then we have passed the tipping point.

Some have postulated that we are in or close to being in a state of civil war but I think that that is incorrect insofar as it would mean that the bodies are piling up on both sides of the divide. And despite all of us being tagged as fascists, Nazis, literally Hitler, white supremacists, Christian nationalists and committers of genocide here and abroad, the facts just do not gibe with reality. But of course that is a sine qua non of Leftists, Democrats and their ilk along with projection. They are doing and behaving in exactly the way they blood libel us as.

What we are confronted with is a political party and movement whose leaders in their two-century and continuing lust for absolute power have amassed a sizable following willing to vote the rest of us straight through a gate marked Arbeit Macht Frei as their antecedent kissing cousins did 80 years ago in Germany.

How many more Charlie Kirks, Iryna Zarutskas, Laken Rileys, catholic school children, Ashli Babitts GOP softball practices, Corporate executives and on and on and on must we mourn before, as the late MLK poetically intoned the biblical passage, "may justice roll on like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Justice??? from a justice system that is non-stop pissing on our back and proclaiming it's raining. A justice system that threw the book at Daniel Penny, railroaded Donald Trump several times on a slew of bogus charges, and failing to destroy him that way, not to mention 2 or 3 assassination attempts, has shredded the Constitution in derailing his legal authority as President to discharge his duties across a broad range of domestic and foreign policy issues.


My incandescent hatred of the Left in this country not just for what they have done culturally, politically and now by cheering, fomenting and committing actual bloodshed but because they are making me want to see and visit the same, 10,000 times worse upon them. May God save us from the hell they have unleashed upon us and guide us in paths of righteousness so that we as a nation and people may once again live in peace, with truth and justice.

On the latest edition of the podcast, our friend the estimable Jim Lakely of the Heartland Institute discussed with me and CBD the horrifying implications of their latest set of polls, linked here and in the sidebar.

And of course do go to Heartland dot ORG to read and weep for yourselves.

One of of the more shocking revelations was that a very large majority of the 18-39 year old demographic, even across party lines, is strongly in favor of curtailing free speech rights. Considering who Charlie Kirk was and what he dedicated his life to – free speech and open political discourse – his assassination takes on an even more chilling tone.

But, at the young age of 31, Charlie was a part of that age cohort that is pushing to recreate Nazi Germany in their own image here at home.

Let us hope and pray that Charlie was not an outlier and that there really is a sizable number of Americans of all ages that are repulsed by what these polls are revealing about the path we are going down, which more and more is resembling the Road to Hell, or in the death camps what the Nazis euphemistacally and cruelly referred to as the Road to Heaven - the walkway that led to the doors of the gas chamber and crematoria.


I apologize in advance if my editorial today is a bit disjointed. I am just shaking with both rage and grief over Charlie Kirk as well as the memory of 9/11/01. NYC, despite all of its problems and faults, was and always will be my hometown and at the time while I was living in LA I was bicoastal and came back many times. I was in town for a couple of weeks before the attack and in fact was at the WTC the week before. I traveled from my place in Queens via the E train to the Trade Center and weirdly referred to it as my ground zero, from where I would go shopping at Century 21 dept. store, J&R Music world and then take a leisurely stroll up through Tribeca for a breakfast. That was my routine, sometimes accompanied by my father as we would go art gallery hopping in SoHo. I remember emerging from the subway that day and something compelled me to gaze upward to the top of the Towers like a tourist, and I had the weird feeling that I might never have the chance to see them again. My folks wanted me to extend my stay but something compelled me to return to LA and the next thing I knew, my dad was on the phone telling me turn on my TV, and that a plane had struck the WTC. My first thought was Cessna, until I saw the second plane strike the North tower and the world I thought I knew was gone forever. Had I extended my stay, no doubt I would've been at Ground Zero at the exact time of the attack.

Also, I later learned that a schoolfriend of mine happened to be on the 108th floor of the South Tower that day and so, as it is every year now on this day, my thoughts turn to her.

May her and all the memories of those who were slaughtered that day be for a blessing.

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!

    23 Here is St Paul's thoughts on the Stage IV reprobates (aka "Democrats"):

    "And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done. They are filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents, senseless, covenant-breakers, heartless, ruthless. Although they fully know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them."

    Then, it looks like he starts giving baseball signals.
    Touches the brim of his ballcap, then touches his cheek. Then the black shirt touches his right bicep on the sude, then the top, and then you immediately hear the shot.

    33 My thoughts about Charlie have been selfish, that is, not about his family and friends but what our movement and country have lost, how unique even irreplaceable a figure he was, and that I took for granted he'd always be with us.

    He had an incisive moral clarity, almost ruthless but not unkind, that was both a throwback to another time and yet perfectly suited to his own time. Who has that anymore? An autodidact who had instant intellectual recall to every detail of our founding and Constitution and could shame professors in debate yet appeal to the average person with generous give and take.

    Such a loss.

    They rightly see the root of their unhappiness asThe System, "The Man", has them down.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't in disbelief at just how insane the Democrat Left has become. We've known for a long time they were explosive and out of their skulls. From the filthy coward of an assassin right down to the sewer-filled, demon-infested brains of those spilling over in perverse joy at his death. These are people who want you dead because you don't think like them. They cheer it. They celebrate it. They wallow in it like dogs in fresh cow pies. They're sick, sick people. I don't consider them my countrymen. Today, more than ever. I'm also a little irritated that Patel's FBI hasn't been able to find this POS yet.

    In one arc, a high ranking demon claims to have lost his father in the war 80 years earlier when Frieren and the Hero's party killed the Demon King. After the Human leader leaves, this demon is asked by his subordinate about his father. The demon replies, "what father?"

    And of course there are still people who read and watch this series who call Frieren the racist and the demons are misunderstood.

    It’s not really ironic, it’s a reminder that the specter of evil constantly hangs over us, and that it’s nourished by hate, loathing and an insatiable thirst for power.

    Charlie wasn’t killed by a gun or an assassin no more than our citizens were killed by a plane or terrorists on 9-11. They were both killed for the ideas and ideals they stood for. That is, truth is the ultimate arbiter of fact, individual liberty existentially nurtures our republic, and these rights and freedoms are given to us by God and God alone.

    We have arrived at a precipice for the moment, where one group stands alone trying to protect those values, and the other stands insidiously with people like the 9-11 terrorists , trying to kill those ideals by killing those who protect them. I’ve got news for them, if that’s your tact, you have a lot more killing to do, there are more of us than there are of you, and we’re hard to kill. They didn’t get me on 9-11, nor will you.

    The question was posed here last night: "When was the last time a conservative assassinated a liberal?" and I answered it was when Charlotte Corday killed Marat in 1793, and that was in the midst of the French Revolution, where the government was killing innocent people by the hundreds per day.

    I have been considering this for hours, and as a student of history, I cannot think of any leftist political movement that has not used violence and murder as a primary tool.

    is it that they are profoundly lazy, stupid and have zero money management and planning skills? Expecting to live in a garden estate and drive the latest luxury cars?

    I know a lot of Boomers who bust their asses since childhood, did roofing over the summers to pay for college and had room-mates and lived in trailers until they could afford a down payment for a mortgage at 19%.

    73 To clamp down on Marxist radicalization among youth, I think the WH needs to establish a center with an anonymous tip line, where young people, college kids can report the radical shite that is being said and done on campuses. They are afraid, because for 4 years professorial freaks and goons hold those kid's future in their hands. So kids adapt and go along. And repeat and internalize the poison. A kid can go to college normal , come back as a marxist lunatic who hates his family, his gender, and everyone who does not espouse the same Marxist beliefs.

I would hope, have hoped for a long time, that this ends. I want to see a new confrontational even brutal directness, a concerted effort to cut through their narratives and put them on the defensive at every turn. Stop acting like they control this exalted lyceum of debate and that we need to show respect. These are vile liars and propagandists who hate us and want us dead. Treat them as such.

    Starting salary $33K (thank the Lord with benefits)
    Average price of 1 bedroom home $300K (rent is more than 30 year mortgage for same)

    Square the circle, knowing you also need to actually live on the salary and attempt to save pennies for the future.

    Best bet is living at home and paying mom a rent you can afford and trying to save and earn more money before ever flying the coop. So, lives start later, and that feels like you've somewhat failed b/c mom moved out right after college.

    And this is with a person with zero debt.

    but they want a civil war. they want chaos, and death. that's why this was so public. If they wanted to take him off the board he was very accessible - many ways to do that easier. they wanted the optics of this.

    because they want you all to feel the rage I'm feeling. and they want fights at vigils, and then larger fights. and then destruction and war.

    A pro, with state-level support and training would make it much more difficult. A lot of crazies don’t care if they get caught. They leave a trail of crumbs even Barney Fife could follow.

    50% tax on couples without children.

    0% tax on couples with at least 3 children.

    That could move things in the right direction.

    I'd prefer no taxes on those with more than 4 children. And then bonuses and free money for each additional child.

    Encourage those that want to marry and have children....which is our side. Let the leftists and environmentalists happily save the world by remaining childless.

    And what were the wind conditions? I'm betting they were negligible. 200m prone with a scope is an easy shot. I think the shooter was an amateur with good preparation.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he BZO'd from that position days/weeks earlier. FBI should be looking at security cams from the day Kirk's visit was announced.

    200 yards, with a decent rifle and scope, is a chip shot, so to speak.

    If, indeed, the shot was from 200 yards away, Charlie getting hit in the neck was happenstance, because no one aims for the neck.

    Which leads me to believe it's very possible the shot was much further out, say, 500 yards or more. But, I don't know the sight lines where the event took place, so, maybe the shooter was only 200 yards out.

    207 I don’t know about that, JJ.

    One could argue our income tax, along with the ever growing list of other taxes & fees, is a contributing factor to women having to leave the home to work everyday just to afford the bills.

    Add in inflation and the cost of raising children today, and a lot of women and couples say “screw it, I can’t afford to have kids if I wanted any.”

    I don’t think you can solve the problem through more taxes, maybe less taxes might work, or more subsidies to young families like they are trying in some European countries,

Less than 10 years into my career I bought a house in that same suburb. Now… if you check out rent and house prices in that same suburb there’s no way a new college grad could even afford the rents there… that new college grad if they accepted the job offer would have to rent further inland where it’s not nearly as nice… in LA you go 5 miles inland and the crime level ratchets up….

    Rookie mistake. They'll lose braking before they get out of the parking lot at best. Low speed fender bender at best.

    You want to loosen the brake lines. That way they lose braking on the Interstate.

    276 I'm going to weigh in on the shooting here.

    200 yards, with a decent rifle and scope, is a chip shot, so to speak.

    If, indeed, the shot was from 200 yards away, Charlie getting hit in the neck was happenstance, because no one aims for the neck.

    Which leads me to believe it's very possible the shot was much further out, say, 500 yards or more. But, I don't know the sight lines where the event took place, so, maybe the shooter was only 200 yards out.

    Posted by: blake - semi lurker in marginal standing (tT6L1) at September 11, 2025 08:38 AM (tT6L1)

    I agree and said as much yesterday, except I dont believe neck hit means a greater distance.

    4" dispersion at 200 yards is mediocre rifle quality and skill, and factor in that we don't know aim point and the possibility Shooter didn't take vertical drop into consideration (impact point will be lower than point of aim). Too many unknowns. All this is to say that you can't claim pro, simply because of a first shot hit that any average hunter would want to make on game at that distance, or because they have not found him in under 24 hours.

    People should chill.

Blame the parents who didn't explain the implications of those college loans they signed for. Blame the parents for voting for the assholes who let companies hire illegals and H1Bs instead of Americans. Blame the parents who tell them all about how things used to be and how they paid for college, and a house, and a car, and a spouse, on their summer earnings.

    The fact of the matter is that WE made the world THEY live in. I've got two kids just starting out. I've seen it. Fortunately for them, my wife and I didn't spend our own money like water so we were in a position to help them. But I see what their friends are going through. They're living three to an apartment, driving beaters, eating ramen, still can't make it.

    Yeah, so go blame some dude in a wheel chair, not Bretton Woods.

    A lot of starter homes are built on the frontiers of a city or town then the town grows around them making the location a bit more central and desirable.

    The fact that homes are being built and sold means that people are still able to afford them and manage their lives and budgets in a way that prioritizes this acquisition.

    339 JPMorgan Chase handled the processing of more than $1 billion for Jeffrey Epstein over the course of 15 years despite internal concerns about his status as a sex offender and financial activity.

    The Times' report noted four occasions in a five-year period in which compliance concerns were overridden by JPMorgan leaders to allow Epstein to continue to bank with the firm, and added that the bank established accounts for young women at Epstein's request.

    Where did the Epstein funds come from??

    I feel sorry for Kirk's family but I cannot support a wanabee dictator. I cannot see him as the future of America. I do not want to hear how wonderful he was.

    You will get scolded if you don't feign sorrow. Wear the scolding like a badge of pride. You are correct that he was not a good man.

    Let me put it this way. He was against empathy

    NO ONE here thinks he was a good man. We can still say that and condemn the assassination.

    I remember right-wingers after the shootings in Minnesota in June. The people on this board engaging in that same behavior are no different. It's extremists on both sides that perpetuate the cycle of violence.

    it's disgusting, but then, a lot people think Mangione is some sort of fucking hero 🤮

    Kirk inflicted devastating trauma - that will last for generations. I am not an "issue". My gay son is not an "issue." Our humanity is not just a debate or political disagreement. Don't ask trauma victims to have empathy for the people inflicting trauma or police how people should process their trauma.

    We need to step outside our fact/logic worldview. The left is an emotion-based worldview.
    He was not a threat (like, "he could beat us" threat) to the nihilistic death cult that religiously believes they are "on the right side of history."
    But, to the childish mind, driven by emotions, to kill him horribly and publicly, is necessary to show you what happens if you dare disagree with them.

    An employee told me that he was overjoyed that a random CEO was executed. He calmly explained that this was a turning point where evil capitalism was going to be defeated. Imagine how clueless you have to be to explain this to YOUR BOSS in a multi-billion dollar company.

    My father in-law told that the Jews had Oct 7th coming. It was all their fault. He was gleeful.

    Posted by: TheJamesMadison, in a world of gods and monsters with James Whale at September 11, 2025 09:17 AM (GBKbO)

    364 My initial call is a head shot that was low, for one or more of a variety of possible reasons.

    Much more likely it was center mass shot that was high. If the rifle is zeroed on flat ground targets, a shot down hill is going to hit higher than the aim point. (As would a shot up hill) its because of the difference in the line of flight distance (the hypotenuse of the triangle) and the gravity deflection distance, (one of the legs of the triangle) which is shorter.

    Posted by: It Works at September 11, 2025 08:34 AM (ia/ic)

    Most kids are functional socialists by the time they graduate from high school. They're indoctrinated in the public schools that socialism is good and capitalism is evil, and many are given everything they need by their parents. It takes harsh reality to shake that sort of ingrained worldview. Sadly, the generational theft enacted upon them (and us) by multiple decades of grifting self-serving "public servants" has left young people with fewer opportunities. Socialism is attractive because it's already been normalized, and many will find it irresistible.

    395 JPMorgan Chase handled the processing of more than $1 billion for Jeffrey Epstein over the course of 15 years despite internal concerns about his status as a sex offender and financial activity.

    It's fascinating that most people focus on Epstein's perversion to the point they never seem to notice he was rolling in money. Almost like the plan was to distract people from what he was really doing.

    There's a heat map from a study of empathy across political ideologies.

    Conservatives have heat maps that focus inward, towards close relations.

    Progressives have heat maps that focus outwards, towards strangers and even animals over close family.

    Empathy means very different things to people.

The Commerce Clause specifically prohibits states from instituting import controls from other states, and the Congress has not passed any legislation that prohibits interstate movement of these pills, like they have for, say, firearms. The other exemption is alcohol, and there the 22nd Amendment specifically exempts alcohol from the Commerce Clause.

    5 Good morning. My "old" LCD monitor went to half brightness yesterday. So I went to Walmart and got a new one for under $100.

    Is an old LCD monitor toxic? Can I just put the old one in the trash?

    What the hell is going on with the SS? How did they allow awful, potentially violent, Democrat protestors within inches of the President & Cabinet members at that D.C. restaurant?

    Why was that room not cleared of risks? Why did it take minutes for the SS to clear those people out of the room?

    I don't cotton to the "assassin was a pro" theory, too much. I think it was just some leftist jerkoff with a little training and a lot of luck. Just like thomas crooks would've been if he had been successful.

    However...

    Patrick Bet-David floated a "possibility" that, if, IF, a left-wing counterpart is assassinated soon, then we should open to the possibility this is an "outside" actor, i.e., a foreign agent, to cause a political civil war in the USA.

    chinese, indians, whoever -- create another 2020 scenario to get Trump out of power.
    Lots of foreign countries have Motive to try something like this -- and our CIA is Useless.

    16 Seems like the shooter must be a member of some kind of militia. Gun skills; stealth and planning skills in getting to the sniper perch; a network to get him invisibly vamoosed. Maybe local, familiar with the campus. Maybe paid for this by people not of his ideology?

    There’s some shitposting going on, but I’ve gotten a very rapid education that the left in general thought of Kirk as a major villain. Bigger than we think of actual DC elected Dems. Waaaay out of order of his actual footprint. It’d be like if Ace and Insty and Greg Gutfeld started talking daily about the Krassensteins or something.

    Earlier this year, SPLC named TPUSA the official resurrection of the actual Nazi Party. Yes, really. This was relatively widely discussed in mainstream lefty circles at the time and got zero notice from conservatives.

    Less than a week ago Jezebel, the feminist website, ran an article about sending money to witches on Etsy to put a curse on Charlie Kirk. You’d think they were making shit up for content and they’d pull the article, but nope. After he died yesterday they reposted the article and gloated that it worked.

    29 This certainly feels like the start of the hot war.

    My 82-year old mother had no idea who Charlie Kirk was. She messaged me and asked me why everyone was making such a big deal about it....because my idiot, ultra-woke niece told her that Kirk was a racistnazihomphobeJesusFreak. I suppressed my rage long enough to try to set her straight (honestly, I wasn't a follower of Kirk, but I was aware of him).
    Then I ripped my niece to shreds, verbally. We'll never speak again.

    34 Charlie Kirk was murdered because he was consequential and was making a difference, he was changing things through the evangelization of conservative thought and ideology, especially to the youth.

    He is literally a martyr for the cause.

    Democrat's assassin was already 600 feet away when he murdered Charlie Kirk. Asssasin was already gone by the time people knew what happened.

    Assassin wasn't among the crowd. He was far enough way to pack up and walk off campus before any "search" could mobilize.

    Doesn't take a "professional" to accomplish that.

    In the 1990s during the peak of the eco-terrorism wave it took months for the FBI to track down the perps but eventually they got them. For the most part, the FBI did this while a tight lip support group covered up and protected the perps.

    Today is different. There is so much camera surveillance it is impossible that the assassin(s) we're not caught on camera either on campus or while accessing the campus. Toss in electronic footprints and it becomes a matter of time. I would not be surprised if it takes months, maybe longer, for law enforcement to figure out who pulled off this assassination, but eventually they will.

    It is a rare thing to pull off a political assassination and get away clean. One case was a federal prosecutor who was assassinated in Seattle while inside his house. The FBI pursued that one into the ground and they got down to one guy but they never could make the case. And then there's Kennedy assassination; It seems that you need the CIA to pull that off and get away with it while in plain sight.

    In the meantime we've got a Bleeding Kansas type situation happening now it seems.

    39 Skip, that is true, but the fact that my niece blatantly lied about h to her gullible grandmother pushed me over the edge. My mother, God bless her, is a kind but naive woman. Politically, she still thinks it's the 70's and the Democrats are for the "working man".

    On another note...the morbidly obese governor of Illinois blamed Trump....and friggin Jan 6. I really wanted to reach through the screen and choke him. Like Princess Leia choked out Jabba.

    *I'm presuming only 1 round fired because that's what all the witnesses are reporting.

    The answer is, I guess, is it was a true assassination, no doubt about it. It wasn't a mass shooting. It wasn't random. It was strictly an assassination of a singular target.

    57 I'm up early off a nightmare, though in the real world it would just have been a major PITA. A fellow at work asked me to come with him on an errand after we finished. Turns out he planned to go by bus! We crammed into a tiny bus station kiosk, facing a half-hour wait; and then, he tells me, we would have to walk through a bad area of town to his destination, then walk back and wait for another bus. I suggested we get his car, and offered to bring him in my car; no answer.

    We left to run another errand at what seemed to be a local charity/thrift store. As often in my dreams, I could not find a private men's room stall. Then, walking back on the street, I met my co-worker's mother, whom we had been waiting for. I asked why we couldn't take his car. Her reply: "We don't have car insurance."

    In the real world, I would have bailed at this point. Instead I woke up, thank goodness.

    64 Jeff Blehar ( @esotericCD ) has a good essay up at NRO, excerpted at his twitter site.

    "This was a political assassination. This was a blow against public participation in the debate. ... Shot dead for no other reason than getting into the arena and arguing a point. ... You can make sure that Charlie Kirk didn't die in vain by getting out there in the arena yourself, and speaking your mind."

    That would make a good shift in the Overton Window.

Things are starting to have a late 60s-early 70s feel, when it seemed like there was one thing after another. I don't know if this means anything, just something I've noticed and felt. IMO FWIW

    Posted by: m


    It's funny how, when their asses are now firmly in the crosshairs, they suddenly want to condemn political violence. Where were the Democrats before this, condemning political violence?

    They were actively calling for it, or not denouncing it when their side was calling for it.

    Just as a thought experiment, I wonder how Tater would react if he received ten thousand tweets telling him that whatever he and his followers wished on Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk, they wished the same on his children.

    Think if you personalize his poison and bring it home to him where he can see it, feel it, and taste it, he might shut his fat, lying piehole?

    Thank you! And one of the things I like about the Demon Slayer series is that the demons are (for the most part) portrayed as monsters. In other words, an actual dividing line between good and evil. But the main character tries redeeming them or at least tries to get them to repent before they die.

    Today’s attack on Charlie Kirk is absolutely horrifying and heartbreaking. He fought with words not weapons. There is no place for political violence in our society and those responsible must be swiftly brought to justice. My prayers are with Charlie’s loved ones, the traumatized students at Utah Valley University and all who have been impacted by this senseless act.

    175 126 The fact that AMD keeps its socket sizes the same for longer than Intel seems great for upgrading a computer's CPU's. But in 20 years of working on and with computers, I have never switched out a CPU for a customer.

    People just buy a whole new computer when they are ready for a faster one.

    Built my own home PC for years - lately, (or well, the last 20), the pattern is usually a full build from components, a few years later, maybe a HDD/mem/video card upgrade. That would hold me for another few years, but then probably time for a CPU upgrade on top of everything else - that's when I'd do another full build - don't think I've ever upgraded just the CPU, holding the same motherboard.

    Yes but it's an illusion to cope with our impotence in these situations. It's never going to happen because the Right lacks the will to act and the Left knows it.

    It's worse than nothing, like thinking you have a spare tire when you don't - you accept more risk, drive rougher, go off-road, etc. because you think you have a fallback. You pop a tire, open the trunk and realize there's no spare. You would have driven more carefully if you had known.

    We put up with what we shouldn't because we think there's a switch. There is, but it will never be used, so for all intents and purposes it doesn't exist.

    One side is willing to resort to violence to advance their cause, the other is not. It doesn't take a student of history to predict which side will prevail.

    205 198 ... like thinking you have a spare tire when you don't - you accept more risk, drive rougher, go off-road, etc. because you think you have a fallback. You pop a tire, open the trunk and realize there's no spare. You would have driven more carefully if you had known.

    215 Sure, after the first round of false "glowie" accusations (which Correia and Hoyt have weaponized) a small percentage of patriots will fight back. The rest will linger on the edge of the battlefield long enough to witness the first group get massacred and then bend the knee. Just like they did on Jan 7th.

    How would we know about the ones who didn't act?

    That said, I would love to be wrong on this. I hope I am. But I can't get people to stand up for a Marine falsely accused of Stolen Valor - it tortures me. How can they be expected to stand up for the Republican.

    I'm sorry, I'm not trying to troll, and I'm obviously biased and angry over being betrayed by those I thought I was fighting for, but I just don't see the "switch" being thrown.

    Agreed. I'm hearing speculation about trained snipers. This was 200 meters right? That's the minimum distance we qualify at in the Marine Corps (200m, 300m and 500m). And that's with iron sights. Prone position with a scope? Might as well be point blank.

    228 The fact that AMD keeps its socket sizes the same for longer than Intel seems great for upgrading a computer's CPU's. But in 20 years of working on and with computers, I have never switched out a CPU for a customer.

    Posted by: Kevin at September 11, 2025 06:29 AM


    While it's true that people don't generally upgrade CPU's, the real issue is motherboards. Intel is tying motherboard chipsets to processors very tightly, and that makes everything more difficult. Early adopters can't use older motherboards if they socket changes every time.

    Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - Sept 10, 2025 [TRex]

    What happens when the center does not hold?

    Will we fight?

    ***

    Imagine thinking that all 8.2 billion people in the world have to agree with you on everything. Imagine having the myopic narcissism to think that anyone that doesn't align with your world view is inherently evil.

    Once you decide others are evil ("literally Hitler"), you can easily justify almost anything - and still think you're in the right.

    Imagine surrendering ownership over your own existence to the point that anyone and everyone that does not validate every aspect of your existence is a threat. Imagine having it so good that you need to invent demons to fight.

    Imagine thinking that a guy sitting by himself on a folding chair with a microphone and a social media account with a mission of dialogue and debate is a threat to you. Imagine thinking that a guy who is willing to talk to anyone about anything was an existential problem. Imagine feeling the need to physically silence someone that explicitly rejected violence as a means of getting his way. Imagine that everything that made him good also made him a threat.

    The ends justify the means.

    Imagine buying into the "my violence is speech but your speech is violence" nonsense.

    Such a waste. Imagine thinking that the gun is the problem.

    Not all societal struggles are noble. They're dressed in the trappings of causes and language and "making a difference," but are mostly people pushing for more control and power. Undercurrents of class conflict are easy to find if you look. Working the system is an entitlement that brings no shame.

    Fighters are not afraid to use all the tools available to pursue control and power (and often wealth). When you're fighting, you use every avenue available. You may espouse a philosophy, but ultimately your philosophy is that anything you do or desire is warranted to win. Dialogue is not a virtue. Why talk with your enemy? Why give them a "platform"? Better to destroy them.

    It isn't a secret. Alinsky published the playbook.

    "If only they would better understand, they'd see..." Presuming good faith or pointing out a hypocrisy or inconsistency misses the point. Never explain, never apologize. Everything is malleable in the name of the cause. "Queers for Palestine?" Sure. Just keep fighting. The long march must continue.

    Most dangerously, both fighters and sheep want to think highly of themselves. Ego must be served.

    Think the right things. Show that you're not "one of them." In the ongoing struggle for power, your "tribe" is the one right and true tribe. Heresy is punished. Push further into the unhinged to show your true commitment to the cause. Accumulating power is good because they all imagine they should have the power. Power for power's sake, but power is also useless unless wielded.

    Useful idiots also think the alligator will eat them last. They also have the arrogance of elevating themselves above all else, including God or a judeo-Christian moral framework. Why wrestle with a moral foundation of natural law from God when I know better? Easier to substitute the religion of climate or DEI or whatever the grievance of the day is.

    How do you reason with people that despise your existence? How do you reason with people that despise your existence and feel morally justified and compelled to do so? How do you live with people that are dedicated to fighting you?

    What happens when the bubble gets shattered? What happens when all the people who didn't realize they were in a fight realize they are in a fight?

    The era of "reasonable people can differ" is gone. The era of "live and let live" is on literal life support. Many still can't comprehend that their mere existence is viewed as a threat. Many still think the media reports the "news."

    The "moderates" or "precious independents" presume that peace and prosperity is the default without recognizing both are the exception. Few recognize the precarious perch upon which our daily lives rest.

    We trusted that others would act the way we would and value the same things we value. We were wrong. We removed strong foundations and thought there would be no cost. We thought the center might wobble but ultimately hold because it always has before. We "took the high ground" and absorbed the body blows because we didn't think we had to fight. We incrementally committed suicide.

    You may not be interested in the fight, but the fight is interested in you.

    Will we fight?

    The great sorting has been underway for some time. Red states and blue states. Red counties and blue counties. Migration data shows people are voting with their feet and their future.

    X has broken the media monopoly and allowed voices to be heard and find each other than did not before. It created such a threat that governments are still fighting to shut it down. If they can't control it, it must be destroyed.

    What happens as historical pivot points force more people to "see"? A guy sitting on a chair and a woman sitting on a light rail seat did not perish by accident. Both were calculated and intentional.

    Recognizing you have a problem is the first step to dealing with the problem. The rules of the game have changed. Charlie overturned the rock and shined a spotlight to show what was beneath. It earned him a bullet but what was seen cannot be unseen. How many people now see with greater clarity? Do those people now realize they are in a fight?

    What causes a break? What makes it different this time?

    What happens when the center does not hold? What happens when there is no center?

    Will we fight? What will be left to fight for? What will victory or defeat look like? Does it happen with or without us, despite us or because of us?

    "Fighting" does not mean random violence or even physical violence or blindly attacking flawed people and institutions. It means taking an active role in our own life. It means being skeptical in places we used to trust. It means being firm in places we used to bend. It means finding allies with values rooted in natural law. It means defending truth. It means saying prayers to recognize our blessings and remember we are created in the image of God but we are not God. It means acting like citizens rather than subjects. It means acknowledging there are wolves out there and the flock needs shepherds to look after the sheep.

    Will we fight?

Our patience (and it has been a LONG patience) will eventually run out. And then...things get really ugly. It isn't something I want to see. It's something I hope we don't have to see. But somewhere, deep down, it feels like today changed everything. In a not good way.

    When I ran for Congress at 23 years old, Charlie Kirk was one of the first people to believe in me and endorse my grassroots campaign.

    That’s because Charlie Kirk believed in the potential and promise of young people across our country, and he inspired millions of them to get involved in politics and fight for our nation’s conservative values.

    Charlie positively changed the course of American history, and his legacy will live on.

    I am praying that God covers Charlie’s wife, Erika, and their two beautiful children in His love. I pray they are comforted knowing Charlie is in Heaven with the Lord.

    95 As I mentioned before, evil never rests. Leftists invite evil, including demons, into themselves. They turn from God, they eschew forgiveness, and they think they are in control and nobody can "lord it over" them.

    Instead, they are in thrall to demons. Jesus made clear that these are the demons who can only be driven out with prayer and fasting. Not one of them will call upon His name, not one of them will call the exorcist, and it just gets worse.

    Make sure, before you act in any way among them. that you are right with God. Pray, fast, confess, get absolution, strap on the Armor of God. Do not go out there with even the slightest chink in your armor. The risk is much too great.

    Sorry if I don't say this well- absolutely no disrespect to Charlie meant here - but I genuinely feel like part of me died today. We are an enemy, and we have an enemy. We can not continue to cohbitate with "them" and reconcile these differences amicably. Charlie tried. Damn did he try. And look what happened. I will not soon, if ever, forget the video of him being shot today. Him slumping down immediately with so much visible blood. You can not find a more respectful person than Charlie. The way he stayed cheerful and dignified to those who tried to debate him was masterful. He died doing what he loved and was good at. Rest in peace, brother Charlie.

    114 I’m at the gym late afternoon today. I’m reading the site, and I’m thinking of what group of thugs would want to kill Charlie …

    Up the back ramp / loading dock area walks a swarthy man, bearded, dressed in a vaguely mid-eastern garb looking about furtively. The gym owner sees this man entering the back of the gym and goes to talk to him. They talk briefly, and the man leaves … still looking back into the gym environs.

    I’m just watching, but my internal radar was all screaming that something was amiss. This guy was sketchy as all get out.

    Was this “nothing” ? Was I over-reacting ?

    All I know is my heads on a swivel in any urban environment now.

    This is my fear.

    Lenin was a horrible scumbag, but I often think he was on to something with his "the worse, the better" doctrine. People with a more or less comfortable place in society are not generally going to take up arms, even for something they feel strongly about; they have too much to lose. They have to lose their material prosperity before they're willing to put everything on the line. And which of us wants to deprive our relatives and neighbors of that?

    122 The "left" has been physically violent with the rest of us for over a decade, and yet claim we're the violent ones because we mention that our patience may have an end some day.

    They don't even seem to know why the average moderate or conservative would be upset with them. You can't hold them responsible for the actions of a nut 1000 miles away.
    But by getting on social media and cheering the death of a truly decent man with whom they disagreed, the telegraph to all of us that having differing views is worthy of violent death, which they will cheer. Too cowardly to do themselves, but still YOU are an enemy worthy of a violent death if you disagree with them.

    We feel you, leftists. Unfortunately for you, some folks not on your side may find your terms of engagement acceptable.

    151 I don't like the idea of killing people with whom I disagree.

    I understand. But I don't agree and have not for a while. The train of abuses far exceeds those that provoked the American Revolution. If the authoritarian pandemic regime, Orwellian speech-control attempts, stealing an election in broad daylight, attempt to displace and oppress me with foreign criminals, and on and on and on do not warrant a violent response, what would? I mostly don't talk about this because the public is not there, and apparently never will be, preferring virtually any living conditions to real civil unrest or worse (and because there's nothing to say beyond this that wouldn't result in a banning). But I think we're beyond mere disagreements. Kirk wasn't disagreed to death.

    I think this audience is probably not a good measure of what a "good" shooter is.

    But then again look at the Butler shooter. That kid had shooting experience and a kind of budget setup and came that close.

    So I guess I don't know what the distance really means in terms of intent etc

    185 A comment from an ex-military person on X:

    I believe Charlie Kirk's assassination today was perpetrated by a professional, or at least someone with extensive training, likely former LE or military.

    Consider:

    -Long range, precision shot of 200m or more. One single shot was sufficient. This requires appropriate equipment and training.

    -Likely fired from a hide position atop a building or in some other concealed, elevated position. This implies sophisticated prior reconnaissance, line of sight analysis and arranging access to the hide position. Although we don't know yet if this is the case, any sanitization of the hide site (i.e., removal of empty shells and other evidence) suggests professionalism.

    -Related to the above point, the assassin knew where Kirk was going to set up. This suggests some sort of inside prior knowledge of events, and suggests highly sophisticated planning.

    -The assassin has thus far evaded capture, which suggests a sophisticated escape and evasion plan. It appears that security cameras may not have sufficiently captured images of him/her, again suggesting some sort of insider knowledge or at least very effective prior planning.

    204 Well past time to prepare for war. I want to know what to do. This sort of thing is like guerilla warfare; much, much harder to deal with.
    Years ago, I think well before Trump, probably closer to when Andrew Breitbart was still with us, someone posted a sort of short story from the perspective of a leftist journalist who had been jailed, looking back at how it all began...that at first, journalists who were spouting the party line were being shot as they were reporting what she admitted they all knew were lies, but it was to promote their favored candidate/president, so it was ok. Paraphrasing heavily. She remembers back at all sorts of things that the press had done, justifying it in their own minds, how things started going badly for them, culminating in it being the night before she was being executed.
    I saved it; it was so well done, now I can't find it. Does anyone remember anything like this at all? She remembers how cleverly "the far right extremists" had found ways to outsmart the almost constant surveillance they were under, and communicate effectively enough to overthrow the system that was absolutely intent on destroying them. I'd like a refresher course on their tactics

    One of the church security ministries I worked with added a "reception desk" in their vestibule that has to buzz people in if they arrive after services begin. Two parishioners man the reception desk, about six feet apart, and both their buttons have to be pressed to deactivate the lock. A few members of the security ministry are distributed among the flock, each near an alternate exit where First Aid, door jammers and other gear are discreetly staged.

    It's a shame that churches have to do this, but if they're going to do it, they figure they'd might as well do it right.

    241 My guess is the shooter was aiming for the chest, and hit high because he didn't account for the fact that shooting down hill the bullet strikes higher than the aim point on a rifle zeroed on flat ground.
    So a good shooter but not a pro. Somebody with John Brown Gun Club level skills.
    ***************
    I'm not so sure about that. Many people wear body vests now, so if you were intending to avoid that you would aim precisely where the shooter did. Cut the jugular and odds of survival are very poor.

    Re: bullshit gaslighting label "divisive"
    It's a smear. Always was, always will be.

    "There is another favorite play for achieving similar results outside the context of race. And that's to brand one side in a politically-sensitive dispute 'divisive.'

    It's difficult to paint the dispute over gay marriage as 'racist.' (Although the poor dears just can't help trying -- witness Andrew Sullivan, for example, frequently claiming that opposition to gay marriage is precisely the same as opposition to miscegenation.)

    So they paint opposition to their agenda as 'divisive.'

    This is pure nonsense. There are disputes in our society which are inherently divisive. The debate over gay marriage is not 'divisive' because conservatives wish to debate the issue, as the liberals continue to insist. The discussion is not divisive; rather, the subject itself is."

    So a good shooter but not a pro. Somebody with John Brown Gun Club level skills.

    That's one possibility. The other is he was going for a head shot and hit lower than he aimed.

    So far, the shooter has evaded local, state and federal law enforcement. They aren't all stupid.

    The shooter in Butler, PA fired 6 or 7 shots. This guy fired one and then ran after hitting his target. And he's still running. I think it's a mistake to keep assuming this was just some random person who had some basic firearms training and he got lucky. Maybe that's the case but that seems increasingly like an outlier. Sometimes the easy answer is the right one, this person has some professional training.

    I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.

    But we aren't "one people" are we?

    The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.

    We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.

    I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.

    And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.

    I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.

    307 I'm not so sure about that. Many people wear body vests now, so if you were intending to avoid that you would aim precisely where the shooter did. Cut the jugular and odds of survival are very poor.

    But like Crooks in Butler, you want the camera friendly head shot.

    Aim for the head from an elevated position at 200+ yards on a scope zeroed on 100, yeah, the neck.

    360 GREAT ONT.

    I am olde but not feeble. I can fight with words.

    One of the main problems is social media, not blogs like this which are governed at times, but X. These twits hide behind their screens and say whatever they want. Like Omar who got reported today (and denies what he said yesterday). I reported his ass to the Orem, Utah police who forwared it on to the FBI. This is Trump's and Patel's FBI.

    I don't have X but if I saw potential murder crap in the future I'd report it from now on.

    @340...I told my 40yr old son RFK was the last one I remember, and remember no others since. And ole Sirhan Sirhan, I am fairly sure, was not a Republican.

    366 Anybody know the range on expensive drones?

    I think all MAGA security teams need to have a drone aloft with a highly skilled operator. The drone needs to follow the black-clad guy on the roof and then get LEOs on the trail immediately. Hopefully LEOs or armed security can get the shooter before the drone reaches its range limit.

    If all shooters will be caught, then that considerably narrows the pool of assassins to only crazies and martyrs.

    Personally, I don't think we are going to catch Charlie's assassin.

    404 Just throwing this out there: 3 random streams of thought I've posted for several years.

    First, if there ever is a CW2, it's going to devolve quickly to an urban affair of gangs/cartels/militias fighting each other for turf. While they may have a vague desire to get at us, they will be much more preoccupied with the gang next neighborhood over. Think Beirut or Belfast.

    Second, there were about 2000 bombings in the US in 1970. The technology these days is better, not worse.

    Third, the Revolution wanted 2020 to be 1905. They wanted bloods in the streets of their own people at the hands of Trump, and they didn't get it. The regular Democrats did what Democrats do and stole the election, which set The Revolution back a decade. This may be remnants of The Revolution trying to reassert themselves. The regular Democrats are likely horrified, but more afraid of them than they are of us. By the way, the Chinese were instrumental in the George Floyd riots.

    One last thought: Now we have millions of illegals everywhere, a phenomenon that's never existed before, and the Left has decided that it loves them more than it loves its traditional allies. I don't know how that plays out.

    428 Charlie debated with the truth as he best knew it.
    He wasn’t trying to manipulate or confuse those he debated. He was attempting to enlighten a generation lost to COVID and Wokeness.
    His only goal was to listen and inform his fellow Americans on how far we’ve strayed from ideals and principles that made this country great, and how to get back to greatness, for everybody.

    Kirk went from a high school kid on Twitter working to get some attention for his cause and turned that into a one man band debating machine who cross-crossed the country gaining fans and opening minds. He turned himself into a modern icon of conservative politics through hard work, dedication, along with faith in the American Experiment and God Almighty.

    Charlie was killed for debating with truth in the Age of Lies. He is Huxley’s John the Savage, Rand’s John Galt and Orwell’s Winston Smith, destroyed for daring to believe in truth and right & wrong in a world that believes in nothing but power.

    Trump has said Charlie Kirk is a martyr for truth and freedom, and I see the man now as exactly that.

    Charlie will be remembered well because he lived well, and he now deserves whatever Jesus has waiting for him.

    Some Karen went and verbally assaulted an elderly couple wearing MAGA hats in a restaurant a while back. She was wearing a t-shirt with Mangione's face on it.

    If she did that to my family while wearing assassination porn, she would immediately be face down on the ground being searched for weapons by me.

    Charlie was an advocate for the right and the DNC didn't want him motivating people to vote R. Democrats are already in bad shape, most likely, going into the mid terms. So, they took out someone who they saw as an effective voice in GOTV efforts.

Work descended into pronoun and race-grievance lunacy and any non progs caught out got shitcanned - while I was effectively un-promotable and under a cloud. Last year I finally managed to get my family to friendly turf, at great expense and hardship.

    People have been rationalizing the left's deployment of freaks, bums, and criminals against us for years, but after the Biden open border and a string of high profile incidents - illegal trucker accidents, the train stabbing, Kirk, multiple attempts on Trump, a half dozen trannies shooting kids - they just can't anymore. Not with the glee, disdain, and general asshole reaction from the left.

    I have maintained for years, all it will take is one killing with the right footage and we are off the the races. Trump has a VERY narrow window to genuinely come down on pro-violence lefty orgs. Even if they don't stop killing, if headway is made people may hold off and try to take the high road. No arrests? People won't stand for it

The people who watch television news (if that) and get their news from Farcebook. People answered in droves -- No, they hadn't heard about the subway stabbing. "Showed it to my co-workers and they said 'wow, that's nuts.'" "None of my wife's friends had heard of it."

    We've been cowed and silenced for years and as we now know by government censorship. We've been made to feel shamed for being normal Americans and for a while it worked. It's not working anymore.

    I was pretty confident Trump was going to win prior to Butler. After, I knew we were going to win. And we did in a landslide.

    People on the right say they don't listen to the news but they do and they get discouraged but we are the majority of the country by a wide margin.

    In my mind, Fighting means defending Uncle Herschel. It means punishing Bud Light (no, I didn't drink it before either, but the point stands).

    It means parenting.

    It means not ignoring or conceding local elections.

    It means finding the good and affirmatively supporting it rather than assuming that the good will happen on its own.

    It does not mean tit for tat or looking for trouble. The rules of self defense still apply (better not to be in the situation than need to get yourself out of a bad situation).

    If trouble finds you, then it means FAFO if/when needed to defend against those who seek to take advantage or impose their evil upon us. No need to provoke, but there has to be a cost for evil.

    Fighting means the persistence of the human spirit and ongoing determination to pursue truth, justice and the American way. It means a recognition that we need to affirmatively choose how we live because we can't always assume the center will hold.

    Get a grip, Nightwatch. The whole reason for calling Charlie Kirk "John Q. Public" is to bring home the fact that he was one of us. Not some vastly remote politician or captain of industry; just a normal guy who was on a mission. If the Left can murder Charlie Kirk, they can murder you or me.

    Gauze, stuff for irrigation and sterlizing, tape, etc. Then think about potential consequences for not covering everyday minor wounds when antibiotics aren't a quick trip to the doc.

    Then consider... blow out kit per vehicle. Smaller kit for carry on person/in pockets. Kit per load bearing setup. Kit for spare load bearing setups or friends.

    Don't forget emergency dental care either, or foot care, and perhaps look up what adventure travelers bring for antibiotics, and where they get them. $20 of pills and some manuals can save a life.

He just had not made an impact in my life. But I am pretty insignificant on the great scheme of things, so that is scarcely a surprise. It has been enlightening to read about his impact on the young voters.

    There is a whole lot of popular culture that escapes my awareness. Most of these TV personalities that Ace rants about only exist in my mind as stick figures. Not having a TV will do that to a person.

    619 I thought about the same, another podcaster, but discovered that he was Mr. Talking Points USA which is a well respected mover in the arena.

    but what I came to add was about the blow out kit.

    -"Then consider... blow out kit per vehicle. Smaller kit for carry on person/in pockets. Kit per load bearing setup. Kit for spare load bearing setups or friends."-

    missed read that one, I know it as bug out kit.

    Anyway on the blowout & it's cheap. Go to the Truck Stop and buy fuse flares, the kind that burn hot and bright. They have their own striker so there's no worry there. Aside from keeping cars from running over you they have multiple uses if you think about it. Pick up a can of fix a flat while you're there.

    Nobody sane does. But when it becomes impossible to deny that revenge and violence are upon you.

    This feels like the left's revenge for our crime of rejecting leftist and electing Trump for the third time.

    I don't know what to do with that.

    Trump says, "For years, the radical left has compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to NAZlS... this type of language is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the terrorism we're seeing in our country today.

    And it must stop RIGHT NOW!"

    I'm inclined to agree. Iryna Zarutska could have been either of my boys, for the crime of being white.

    I've had enough.

    There is a rapidly diminishing window for law and order to reign the leftist terrorists in.

H style suspenders vs the issue Y style (don't let Top see it), alice clips and hooks replaced with paracord and zip ties .. if you know, you know. One ancient ass field dressing in a compass pouch on the left shoulder that had literally been in it since about 1999.

    That stopped about 13 years ago when I pulled over for a little old lady I found who had a bad fall and bled EVERYWHERE. Trauma - blowout - kits in every vehicle after that. And as 2016 got sporty, tourniquets, chest seals, and hemostatics in my antisocial equipment + relevant learning.

    Now I have an ankle carrier, I think from Wilderness Tactical, I use with long pants to carry a toruniquet, chest seals, and Celox.

    639 Since we're all in outrage mode already, let me tell you a little story about my day.

    Just after 8 AM my foster kid's grandmother calls wailing and shrieking about how could we schedule the viewing for Monday when she has an appointment that she fought for months to get that day. Especially since the kid was her "fucking grandchild" and she was "the only fucking one who needed it." Well, hey, you never mentioned it and said whatever arrangements were made were fine. Just call the funeral home and ask if they can make a special time for you. More incoherent warrgarble at which point it was again suggested she CALL THE FUNERAL HOME. She got pissed and hung up.

    Blocked.

    Stupid bitch forgot that she has no biological relation to the kid, and her "parental rights" were surrendered in court. She's got no pull here, and now all communications will go through the AZ DCS.

    Then get a panicked phone call from the kid's godmother. Seems grandma's sister, who lives with her, had called godmother and requested she not come so as not to upset grandma. Told her fuck that, she's personally invited by me.

    Poor kid grew up with that shit? No wonder she was so depressed.

It is even more bitter because they were just that close to the brass ring.

    25% approval rating. That is what the Dems are sporting right now. They are lashing out, hoping somehow, that will change the game. But it won't - it will just accelerate their demise.

    I disagree. When we think it can be resolved via institutions, we try - because unlike the jacobins and the later bolsheviks and maoists, we aren't power-mad death cultists.

    There comes a point sometimes when the middle aged normie family guys, the local business leaders, mayors, and so on, realize in enough quantity via some exceptional lefty act that it's just not gonna work, and it is time to flip that switch over to "kill fucking everybody"

    I feel that old dingbat Chomsky realized this may be in the offing a couple years back when he started telling the progs they were making a serious error.

    You all know you can view who donated what for political fundraising, and to who, by name and address, right? Just don't forget Actblue made an industry of attributing donations to unrelated parties to launder money.

Yes, tragically, it's directed at us, but we are winning. These past 2 days have created untold numbers of Charlies and protectors of the next Iryna. The wave is ours.

    I am saying by assuming he was killed because he was viewed as a "threat", ascribes sense to what is actually far more senseless.

    They can't kill all "threats" (recall leftards feel "threatened" when you disagree with them about which toenail is most important), which means this is in its barest most essential state a *warning* and threat in and of itself, and not a c-hair more or less. To say otherwise is to give their perspective heft and life, whereas the Left are of course solely about hate and destruction.

    A "threat" implies they are defending. They are not.

    I've watched the ABC and NBC national news special reports and broadcasts and the local news broadcasts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

    They're all twisting themselves into knots to report, and to tell everyone that they will report, any developments, as soon as they get them. It's real self-flagellation; they know they own a big piece of this, and that everyone knows it.

    I predict that the shooter is a whiney, snively little activist twink, who thought he could strike a blow, or something. I expect that he will be caught soon, likely being ratted-out by his own people.

    Only then realize that he should have surrendered, getting a deal that keeps him in solitary, away from the other, much bigger, prisoners, who will take offense, repeatedly, over the next 25 years, for him having shot a father of a toddler, and a crawler.

    Some percentage, yes. I’ve gotten a very rapid education that the left in general thought of Kirk as a major villain, bigger than we think of actual DC elected Dems. Waaaay out of order of his actual footprint. It’d be like if Ace started posting daily about the Krassensteins or something.

    Earlier this year, SPLC named TPUSA the official resurrection of the Nazi Party. Yes, really. This was somewhat widely discussed in mainstream lefty circles at the time and got zero notice from conservatives.

    Less than a week ago Jezebel, the feminist website, ran an article about sending money to witches on Etsy to put a curse on Charlie Kirk. You’d think they were joking and they’d pull the article, but nope. After he died yesterday they reposted the article and gloated that it worked.

    2) They're incompetent, or don't want the real suspect brought in (alive at least).

    It started going down for Dems slowly but surely through the 2000s. Brief bump up when Obama won but that was a blip. Today Dems is like 20%.

    Their hatred for Bush changed them fundamentally.

    263 Years ago a commenter here wrote that the left uses violence as a tool to get what they want, dialing it up and drawing it down when they get what they want.

    But people on the right have lives, families, jobs so they just try to get along as best they can. For those on the right, violence is binary. "Try to get along, try to get along" or "Kill them all."

    I always remember that.

    286 Part of the problem is we’re now in an asymmetric environment where the OPFOR continues to learn from past incidents and is applying that experience to the next target. They are largely seeking low threat environments like schools, colleges and other public venues that are thinly protected because threat assessments, untethered from the current environment, have suggested they are low probability for an attack. That venue was estimated to have about 3,000 people. The campus police had 6 officers on duty, and some local police with a few UC in the crowd.

    About 36 years after they murdered the Son of Man, there wasn’t one stone standing on another in Jerusalem, just as he had said. Writings from that time describe the Romans simply killing everyone until there was nobody left to kill, then burning and dismantling the entire temple and city brick by brick. One historian noted that Jerusalem was so flattened you wouldn’t even know there was a city there.

    323 One of many reasons I take issue with Romans. Sometimes governments are evil as fuck and the furthest thing from instruments of good and justice. If the Founding Fathers had taken this to heart there would be no America.

    Paul wrote that epistle while rotting in a Roman prison awaiting his unjust execution.

    I wouldn't say that government is sometimes evil, its always evil because it is crack cocaine to sadistic power-mad demons. That is why the Founders sought ways to limit it, control it, and to stymie it from growing into the Leviathan it is. They knew that it would fail and hence Jefferson's Tree of Liberty statement, and Franklins "if you can keep it".

    Of course, not soon after the ink was dry the totalitarians started altering the very guard rails by allowing anyone to vote, not just those with real skin in the game. Then they wrecked the Individual States concept by popular voting Senators. Their greatest win was the 16th Amendment which reversed the roles so that it wasn't the citizens who controlled government but the government enslaved everyone through limitless taxation.

    When a woman is in labor, there is a reason for the pain, new life. Fighting or resisting the pain is unproductive. It is better to let the pain fulfill its purpose.

    I don't know what the purpose for this death and this pain is, but I do know there is a purpose and by absorbing this my own sword will be strengthened for the fight.

    The testifying cops lied and contrdicted themselves. The head of the lab that did OJ's work was so sick they had to go to his house for him to retract sworn testimony. Barry Scheck and Dershowitz also ripped testimony apart.

    Whether I personally believed O.J. did it or not, I could not vote to convict him because of the shoddy, not credible, contradictory police work presented. I'd sooner convict the cops.

    Charlie was younger than my sons. I had only recently begun to watch his clips on the u-toobs. He was always polite, engaging, and actually listened to the other young people debating him. I was profoundly impressed. He knew what he was talking about. And the young people arguing with him always appeared to be a little surprised and grateful that he treated them so well. Always, thank you for listening, have a good day, and all that.

    We're not talking about a government figure with security here. As long as there are a bunch of people around and you spend a moderate amount of time planning on how to physically escape, you can whack just about anyone from 200 yards and beat feet.

    The harder issue here is not leaving behind specific types of evidence. You basically can't touch a damn thing without leaving DNA they're going to be able to recover. You can even snag viable DNA now from ejected shell casings hours after the fact, on account of loading the magazine without gloves.

    You either have to take the weapon with you, or basically not contaminate it *at all*. Or anything in the shooting position, or to/from that position.

    I will say not necessarily in this case.
    Security was paper thin and not even remotely focused on a distant threat.
    In fact, it almost seems like it didn't occur to them this could happen.
    It does suggest to me that the shooter may have known the area quite well already.

    It's arguable that Kirk was one of the people most responsible for helping Trump win the 2024 election. He definitely helped Trump win Arizona and he mobilized millions of young people across the country to support Trump.

    Trump recently blew up the Iranian nuke program and they've never forgiven Trump for Soleimani.

    There's a lot of cameras around and the people in power will be interested in solving. If Kamala had won, different story.

    Then again, if intelligence was involved and I suspect it is, it may remain unsolved, in which case that is an answer in itself.

    526 428 Just had a thought.

    The Nick Fuentes brigade really hated Kirk since he didn’t hate Israel.

    Could it have been one of those types?
    Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at September 10, 2025 09:06 PM (66jKa)


    As nominally one of those people (Nick Fuentes is not as popular as he once was), no. Nick, by the way, has already stated unequivocal praise for Kirk and sadness that he is dead.

    I assure you, critics of Israel and Jews have nothing to gain by offing Kirk. If the shooter is caught and magically sounds like one of us, it's a false flag.

    Kirk, by the way, turned recently on the Israel issue, to his credit. Not that he needs to "hate" Israel, or that we do either. That is childish nonsense. No, he simply began recognizing Jewish interests aren't ours, and the activists pushing leftist, anti-white agendas, just happen to coincidentally often be Jewish.

    Charlie Kirk recognizing reality:

    “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them,” said Kirk on his show, later adding that “the philosophical foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors in the country.”

    Just as an aside, I pretty much was one of you all until 2016, when all the Israel love just started to seem ridiculous, and alternative ideas had a brief run on Twitter. I am enraged by Kirk's death, no less than any one of you. Our ideas are scary, apparently for whatever reason, but the "normie conservative to 'wondering why we need to love Israel and Jews even though everything they do is against our interests'" pipeline exists, and I traveled it. It's a bummer people here will probably laugh at that notion, but in the end, we're both in the literal crosshairs of our mutual enemies, so it would behoove some cooperation or agreeing to disagree at some point.

    Clearly, moderating and liberalizing gain one nothing, as today shows. Note accordingly.

    555 >>OK but to their eyes Kirk is not relevant to the administration at all. Big Balls would be closer to the inner circle to their view.

    MAGA is a movement. Trump is the current leader but Kirk was bringing millions of young people into the movement. I've heard at least a half dozen people today say they always though Kirk was going to President one day. Listening to a lot of people who knew him far better than me he seemed to be way more influential in the MAGA movement than I realized. Hell, Trump just ordered the flags to half staff. He obviously was somebody important to Trump. I doubt the Iranians didn't know who he was.

    Again, just spitballing. Could be completely wrong but whomever took killed him had some idiotic reason they thought justified murdering him. Pompeo had SS protection for years after he was out of office because the Iranians supposedly wanted to whack him and all he did after leaving office was talk on TV. And tomorrow we honor the anniversary of Islamic terrorist murdering thousands of random Americans who had nothing to do with politics. Terrorists aren't the most rational people.

    The more I think about this wonderful statement, the more I realize that it isn't descriptive, it's definitive.

    I always see this nebulous wishy-washyness about how to define "the Left" anymore, how to define "Woke", etc etc. It's hard to pin down any kind of ethos for what this so-called movement is. It's just sort of.... there.

    This is what it is. It isn't that some movement has been so animated by fervor that they've become violent and hateful. The movement itself is Violence and Hatred. Everything else is secondary, and any others who have Violence and Hatred inevitably get assimilated and have their identifying features stripped from them, as well. The Revolution is not about instituting any Dictatorships of Proletariats. It's not about Haves and Have Nots, or Privilege and Unprivilege. It's about "I" and the power of that "I" to coerce.

    It's just plain Evil, stripped of anything like an ideological or philiosophical trapping. And that Evil will build and army for itself however it can, saying whatever it needs to.

For the last decade, I've heard nothing but nonstop bullshit thrown up as fact that Trump is a literal Hitler. That resulted in two assassination attempts on him. Today the goal of terrorizing conservatives into silence through violence finally succeeded when Mr. Kirk was assassinated. More irritating is the tight jaw implication that Kurt got what he deserved because of what he said. Plus, truth be told this is Trump's fault because you know he is literal Hitler. Give it a week or two and the left will be saying all this out loud. Hell, over Daily Kos they already are saying that.

    ____________________________

    That's the point. How many events on college campuses have been cancelled over the last 8 years due to "concerned for security." Non-Binary Ben is always getting cancelled. Kirk got cancelled a number of times. Crowder got cancelled. And, of course, at the time it was never about security. IT WAS about the risk of getting young people to think for themselves. The educational system is a battleground whether we like it or not. And it such a battleground where we need to take back ground.

    Kirk threatened to do just that. So he was instrumentally dangerous to the Left.

    Colleges cancelling events due to "safety concerns" was always a thin veil for censorship. Now they have something to hang their hat on...which, IMO, was the purpose of todays events.

    655 As soon as these proggies dismiss God, they invite in the demons. They do not believe in forgiveness, so they cannot repent of theirs sins, or call the exorcist in the case of true possession. Evil does not rest. It is, by definition, insidious. These people who invite Satan to take them over cannot control the evil; none of us can by ourselves. As Jesus said, for these demons, they can only be cast out by prayer and by fasting. None of these proggies even know how to call out in pain. They just act, driven by their demons.

    You likewise cannot fight it on your own. Get right with the Lord. Confession, absolution, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, adoration, penance. THEN act. Not before. Evil never rests.

    It's been said above, but it's not that they didn't like what he said, it's how he said it and how he reached people with his method of open dialog. He had a huge impact and that's likely why he was targeted. And that distinction is hugely important and needs to be understood.

    670 By no means an expert but 200 yards doesn’t seem like it’s that far for someone who a decent shot. Like you dont need to be a pro, just someone who has practiced a lot.

    Or is that not true?

    No, its not that far with a good rifle scope and practice, I guess. There are lots of open places in Utah to practice that wouldn't raise an eyebrow if you were shooting.

    I'd be more curious as to how he knew to set up where he did, and how he knew he would have an unobstructed shot to where Kirk was located. Either the shooter took time to inquire, or someone else secured that information for him.

    Bear is a novel by Canadian author Marian Engel, published in 1976. It won the Governor General's Literary Award the same year. It is Engel's fifth novel, and her most famous. The story tells of a lonely archivist sent to work in northern Ontario, where she enters into a sexual relationship with a bear.[1][2] The Canadian Encyclopedia calls the book "the most controversial novel ever written in Canada".[3]

    680 The fact that it was one shot, done by a sniper from far enough away that he could escape, and hasn't been caught yet, makes me think it was some sort of pro and not a random mentally ill person who was radicalized by the internet. Charlie was young, effective, and connected with young people, who due to lack of life experience are the life blood of the evil commie\fascist\satanists who dream of total control. We will see if taking him out helps or hurts their cause in the long run. And we will see what we are told about how it took place. We have yet to hear a plausible explanation for the Las Vegas concert shooting, albeit it didn't have the same national importance.

    Just the News: Kash Patel Says the Assassin Is in Custody

    No more details than that, though.


    FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday night that the suspect is now in custody. The investigation is still ongoing.

    "The [suspect] for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody," Patel posted on X. "Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with the FBI.
    We will provide updates when able."

    Place your bets:

    * Religion of Peace Peace-Maker

    * Trantifa "Love is Love" Love-Spreader

    * Palestinian Anti-"Genocide" Pro-Jew-Murder activist

    * La Raza "You're Racist for Not Subordinating Yourself to My Race" Maryland Man and "Dreamer"

    * BLM Anti-Racist Boer-Hunter

    * Just Another Democrat Killing People to "Save Democracy"

    I saw a tweet, or a purported tweet, by an asshole with a Star Wars Cantina Band name threatening that "something big" would happen to Kirk today. I don't really want to post it because I don't have any idea of its authenticity.

    Update: I don't know why I'm hiding it. You be the judge. It might be fake, it might be real, it might be real but just another bitter loser left-wing Satan worshipper praying to his dark god of lies and chaos.

    Stephen Miller
    @StephenM

    Our hearts are shattered. America has lost one of its greatest champions. A loving family has lost the most extraordinary husband and father. All of us must now dedicate ourselves to defeating the evil that stole Charlie from this world.

    As Sven said, find the "network" and arrest everyone even sixteen hops away from the killer. "Beryl Howell showed us the way."

    From Mister Ghost:

    Laura Loomer@LauraLoomer

    DISGUSTING:

    During the @TMZ livestream today, employees at TMZ could be heard CHEERING 30 seconds before @charliekirk11’s death was announced on the TMZ livestream. They were happy to hear the news of Charlie Kirk’s death and can be heard clapping and cheering before passing the news to Harvey Levin, who was hosting the stream.

    @HarveyLevinTMZ needs to condemn this.

    I have clipped the livestream before they try to delete it.

    Shameful and disgusting behavior by TMZ. Shame on them. Charlie is a husband and a father. He was murdered in cold blood.

    From Clyde Shelton:

    Ian Miles Cheong @stillgray

    The bullet that silenced Charlie Kirk also killed the moderate right. It may have gone straight through his throat, but it went straight through the heart of the moderate right. It died with him. There is no more middle ground.

    Cosign. The left doesn't understand the cold, ice-cold anger that we now feel. We have been murdered, and have arisen again as undead vampires without hearts who will do anything to avenge Kirk (and all the others the left has murdered, including children).

    The gloves are off. We are beyond the point of fucking around.

    And when you tell us to "moderate our rhetoric" -- Fuck You.

    Also, while the Orem police were polite to me when I reported a screenshot from X that I saw here (I think), they said to contact the EffinBeeEye. I thought wth and tried. I then could not figure their damn crap out and quit. I guess I was the complaintant reporting a X shot of people I did not know threatening to kill Charlie Kirk.

    I could still get that knock on the door and hauled off as it might have looked like I was reporting myself or something. I tried. Give me a trophy.

    DISGUSTING:

    During the @TMZ livestream today, employees at TMZ could be heard CHEERING 30 seconds before @charliekirk11’s death was announced on the TMZ livestream. They were happy to hear the news of Charlie Kirk’s death and can be heard clapping and cheering before passing the news to Harvey Levin, who was hosting the stream.

    @HarveyLevinTMZ needs to condemn this.

    I have clipped the livestream before they try to delete it.

    Shameful and disgusting behavior by TMZ. Shame on them. Charlie is a husband and a father. He was murdered in cold blood.

    59 Mike Johnson called for a moment of prayer in the House today and here's what happened. I hate Democrats.
    ---------------
    One unidentified Democrat in the room shouted out something about a school shooting at Evergreen High School, Colorado, on Wednesday, asking why no prayers had been offered for that tragedy, which happened within hours of Kirk's.

    Three people were rushed to hospital in a critical condition after the school shooting.

    There were about a dozen Democrats who protested against the prayers for Kirk.

    One unidentified Democrat blurted out: 'Pass some gun laws!'

    The liberal lawmakers' rejection of the prayer immediately enraged Republicans.

    'You f***ing own this!' screamed Florida Republican Anna Paulina Luna.

    She accused Democrats earlier in the day of being the origin of the violence against Kirk.

    'I am done with the rhetoric this rotten House and corrupt media has caused,' she posted on X shortly after the news of the shooting broke. 'Every damn one of you who called us fascists did this.'

    Speaker Johnson, frustrated with the screaming across both aisles, bashed his gavel and used his microphone to demand order in the House.

    Those seem to be the most frustrated and riled up. They get all this surgery, spend 90 minutes every morning shaving, applying makeup, and doing their hair, and they still get "clocked" (ID'd as female by baristas and casual strangers). For all their effort, they can't begin to compete with some 19-year-old girl who dashes out of the house in a baggy sweatshirt and no makeup.

    Their bodies are scarred and full of leaks, men won't date them, and they see themselves staring down a lifetime of medication, more surgery, and isolation. They realize their dysphoria will never be cured and there's no way out.

    They hate people who are effortlessly the thing they tried so hard and failed to be, and they hate the people who warned them they would fail.

    Leftists have mastered the art of dog-whistling to their troops while maintaining plausible deniability. Democrats talk red-meat crazy tough to leftist audiences. If questioned about the meaning of their statements, the execrable Murphy and the others always say they simply mean doing whatever is necessary to win elections, peacefully and democratically.

    aw thanks. When did people decide I had terrible taste in movies, though? I thought people generally agreed with me.

    I saw an interesting movie last night, for free, on YouTube. On a channel called "Shout! Studios." (I don't know if it's connected to SHout Factory.) The movie is "The Medusa Touch," from 1978, with Richard Burton as a malignant, hateful man whose hatred is so intense that when he gets angry, he wills deaths and catastrophes into existence.

    Semi-Schlocky movie probably greenlit after the big success of The Omen. Of-its-time 1970s insistence that psychic powers and telekinesis are really real, bro, just trust me. Interesting that Burton would play such a hateful, repellent character.

    Decent. Not great, but a decent time-waster. I enjoyed the 70s flavor.

    It's a talent to write as if you aren't writing, and I respect that. Because I always sound like I'm writing, because I enjoy doing that, because I don't mind if people think I'm an obsessive retard, because that's what I am.

    It is going to cut particularly deep for those in the right commentariat. I suspect they all knew Charlie and mebbe his family. To them, it is personal and the fact it was because of his political speaking means that it could have been one of them up there taking a bullet instead of Charlie.

    He was an irrepressible guest on many of their shows, appearances at events, etc. Now he is gone leaving a wife and family behind far too young.

    Simply horrible for all concerned and the glee that the leftists are showing is just going to cause a burn among Charlies friends in the media that may never get put out.

    Their payment to the film distributor was (and probably still is) based on the number of tickets sold.

    This isn’t my strong suit and I don’t even know how to begin to put into words the loss I am feeling right now over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Charlie wasn’t just a friend — he was like a little brother to me - and to millions of people around the world - he was a true inspiration.

    He was one of the most courageous, principled men I’ve ever known, and he lived every day with purpose. His faith in God was unshakable, his love for Erika was inspiring, and the way he adored and cared for his two beautiful kids showed the kind of man he truly was.

    Charlie dedicated his life to something bigger than himself. He fought tirelessly for this country, for the values that make America great, and for the next generation...

    I've been reading Eusebius who is a historian of the early church and it is full of appalling martyrdoms for no particular reason other than people wanting to kill Christians. The bloodlust even disturbed most of the Roman emperors because the consistent reports back to them that the early Christians were peaceable, non violent, and avoided conflict.

    359 I am seeing a lot of anti-gun stuff on other sites, especially one right wing one with a lot of Europeans.

    The thing is,
    -- hunting rifles are not banned in most places, especially rural places with hunting.
    -- Yesterday the news was a girl killed with a penkife.
    -- Japanese former PM was killed with a zipp gun. In Japan, where guns are probably harder to get than anywhere else in the world.

    They just knee-jerk blame guns. It makes no sense.

    365 I spent 20 minutes trying to get Google AI to admit that Charlie Kirk was murdered. This was the final result:

    Defining murder: When someone is shot dead, especially in a premeditated or malicious manner, it is generally considered murder under legal definitions. Based on reports, the killing of Charlie Kirk appears to fit this description. However, the official determination of malice and motive will depend on the outcome of the ongoing investigation.

He lives around the corner from the Annunciation church and was mocking the newspaper headline about never knowing what the motive was. He's also planning on selling his long-time house. Hope he's planning on moving out of MN.

    I think it's kind of like the left insisting that it was something bigger than a loser communist assassin killing JFK, it must have been a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. When someone great dies, you want to believe it must have been something great -- terrible, but large -- that killed him.

    =============

    One of their standard denials is "I still don't regret my transition one bit" and "I don't blame the doctors, it's just my lousy body."

    The ones who regain their minds (detransition) seem to go into a state of profound grief. They focus mainly on healing and regaining friends and family they shunned during their insane phase. Some of them are suing and spreading the message.

    But yeah, you'd think... at least the parents would want to do a little surgery themselves on those doctors.

    This gets even worse when you consider that Charlie Kirk—more than anyone else in America on the right or the left—built his platform making a good faith effort to model civil poltical discourse and debate in the public square.

    His entire project was built on reaching across the divide and using speech, not violence, to address and resolve the issues!

    @JDVance . 2h

    This is such a good point. If you actually watch Charlie’s events—as opposed to the fake summaries—they are one of the few places with open and honest dialogue between left and right. He would answer any question and talk to everyone.

    The murder of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy, and a sign of the utter desperation and cowardice of those who could not defeat him in argument. Charlie Kirk has been killed not for espousing extremist views - because he didn’t. He has been killed for saying things that used to be simple common sense. He has been killed because he had the courage to stand up publicly for reasonable opinions held by millions and millions of ordinary people both in the US and Britain. The world has a shining new martyr to free speech.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

    I know it's rare, but the 40s are when people start dying young of health problems, not due to an accident. Andrew, for example, was super-energetic and always busy and I imagine was super-STRESSED to be running the magazine and being attacked by the left. I mean, the guy was full of energy, but a lot of nervous and stress-energy, which I'm sure took a toll. He was also heavy. Add to that the congenital heart defect.

    This gets even worse when you consider that Charlie Kirk—more than anyone else in America on the right or the left—built his platform making a good faith effort to model civil poltical discourse and debate in the public square.

    623 My acquaintances and/or friends ... some died very early out of aggressive actions (speeding on remote highway, and crashing, or some weird disease, for example), or died "early", like at sixty.

    I don't recall any dying in their forties of "normal illness". Forties a person still has their youth to protect them ... mostly. Of course hard drugs like meth can alter that, but dying at forty is way too young, and not normal.

    I always suspect drugs for younger deaths, and for very "active" people, I suspect cocaine or some such simulant was involved. Or for political people I always consider CIA wet work as a possibility, regardless of how sneaky they were about it.

    639 Shot was from 200 yds away and very accurate to hit him in the neck like that.

    Don't give credit where not due. He was most likely aiming for either the head or chest meaning that he probably missed by some 4 - 8 inches.

    645 Elon Musk has pledged $1 million to a campaign initiated by Intercom CEO Eoghan McCabe to fund murals honoring Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee fatally stabbed on a Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail train on August 22, 2025.

    McCabe offered $500,000 in $10,000 grants for artists to create murals in prominent U.S. cities, aiming to spark discussions on public safety and justice.

    Musk’s contribution, announced via X, amplifies the initiative, which has also received a $1 million pledge from Andrew Tate and over $59,000 from smaller donors through a GiveSendGo campaign.

    The project seeks to memorialize Zarutska and address issues like crime and mental health, though it has sparked debate about politicizing public spaces. There’s no confirmation yet that Musk’s donation has been finalized.

    49 Now what? The Democrat/Progressive Party have been cultivating assassination culture for many years now. And the official party line from the Left is that MAGA et al is Hitler, Nazism, and Fascism. And this from a Party in which 80%+ of its adherents couldn't define any of those terms (except maybe "Hitler"). All they know is people say Fascism/Nazism/Hitler is bad so othering and killing them is justified.

    We are in a very dark place. Every patriot who defends American sovereignty and traditional positions is being slandered and now targeted. We've been invaded by millions of unassimilated foreigners who do not understand or appreciate America as the Founders created and they are being agitated by domestic actors who are losing their grip on money and power via the Trump awakening.

    I don't know where we are, but things MUST change. The current trajectory of political violence from the Left is untenable and unacceptable.

    The democrats are not saying this. MSNBC said he had it coming. The House democrats just showed their ugliness on the floor of the House. There is not a common political culture that is willing to say stop. This thing could explode all over the place.

    Normies are scared, and just want stability. When one side says "we'll riot, burn down cities, ans shoot people if we don't get our way", and the other side says "that's not nice", a lot of normies don't want a fight. They'll vote for the terrorists, tell themselves whatever lies they have to, and hope things are peaceful and they're left alone.

    172 Mr Kirk entered the most important training ground of leftist ideology, the college campus. People voluntarily showed up to debate him. From the videos I have watched Mr Kirk was firm and articulate in his arguments. Never malicious or demeaning. I believe most who chose to challenge him in his public fora respected him.

    There was a time reasoned debate was welcome. People stood for hours listening to Lincoln debate Douglas. In this intellectually dumbed down era emotion is everything.

    Take note of how each person reacts to this senseless crime. Mr Kirk's ONLY weapon was speech. For that he paid a violent price.

    Again, note how each person you meet personally, see on the media reacts to this. It is important to know.

Even those who went to listen to him because they hated his words and wanted to see this “demon” heard his message, and saw he didn’t breathe fire. Maybe their hearts weren’t changed right there, but for some, a seed was planted.

    Ben,
    I honestly do not know. We are in a situation where it demands leadership from both sides to avert it. The Dems, like in 1856-1860 are bewitched by the fireeater extremists and unable or unwilling to put their house in order. The GOP has Trump who is a tough experienced president (unlike Lincoln) and an unruly government where the top of the agencies are fighting subversion from all teh assorted bureaucrats in those agencies.

    At the very least, something like the Palmer raids in 1920's of Commies and tranarchists might put a crimper on things for awhile. But Trump has to take out the funding mechanism for this shit and the lawfare apparatus and those are in the blue states and cities.

    There will be a reaction----How much?

    205 48 They've been the party of assassinations since at least 1865.

    Try 1856. That's when Brooks beat Sumner no the floor of the Senate with Zero consequences.

    From Wiki (I know)

    An attempt to oust Brooks from the House of Representatives failed, and he received only token punishment in his criminal trial. He resigned his seat in July 1856 to allow his constituents to express their view on his conduct; they reelected him in the August special election to fill the vacancy created by his resignation.

    I will probably now be on a terrorist watch list myself, but whatever. I don't even have social media. So I am not much of a threat.

    There's a difference between someone on the left saying "this is a bad person" and every major player on the left saying, repeatedly, "this is one of the most awful people ever".

    Now, they said it because Kirk was effective in speaking to the yoots but, unless this was a controlled op, the shooter likely wasn't thinking about political dynamics. They were thinking that all the people they get opinions from say that this guy is almost Trumpian in how horrible he is... and he's here.

    328 This doesn't have to be a "deep state" *player*. The deep state has done so much work against our nation that this could easily be just a home-grown commie who never (knowingly) communicated with anyone from the "deep state". That's how the deep state works.

    And it looks childish when some of us keep pretending that a 200-yard semi-skilled shot just HAD to be fired from some sort of tranny. The left has more than enough LOONS that would kill any one of us without it being necessary that a tranny killed Charlie.

    385 Unless the shooter had access to a personal range some one has seen this person. That shot took a zeroed in rifle.

    We have a lot of internet sleuths here, so what is the best guess of distance between shooter and target?

    Was it a neck shot like originally reported, or lower?

    Reason why I ask is it tells us the experience of the shooter. If zeroed at 100 and the distance to target was greater, then a neck shot makes sense because the head shot is the effect that the Deep State wanted in Butler, and not being able to calculate bullet drop from an elevated position means it wasn't a pro, but a cut-out like Crooks.

    486 I couldn't imagine a loved one's violent death being caught on video. It must be even worse for someone in the public eye.

    It's especially heartbreaking thinking about his children, who might be young enough that they will have no actual memories of their father. It wouldn't surprise me if some especially cruel classmates sharing video of his death with them as joke when they get to be school-aged.

    492 The Second Shot heard 'round the World ?

    Posted by: TXMarko at September 10, 2025 08:40 PM (7flhA)

    Just the News: Charlie Kirk Has Been Murdered, Shooter Still At Large

    Apologies to TJM for posting his post- - I thought we were in a news lull with Kirk in stable condition.

    Just the News says that he has died.

    They further say that the deranged Democrat arrested at the even is not the shooter, who remains at large.

    Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot on Wednesday at an event in Utah and has been confirmed dead at the age of 31.

    Multiple sources confirmed his passing to Just the News.

    Kirk was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

    Despite an initial statement from the school confirming that the suspect was in custody, the person initially arrested was apparently not the shooter, who remains at large, CNN reported.

    President Donald Trump noted his passing:

    trumpcharliekirk.jpg

    We are in a different world than the one we woke up in. (And that one wasn't that great either.)


    I will repost TJM's post tomorrow, when there's no so much breaking news. Sorry, TJM.


    I'm also sorry for saying that posters posting this sad news were trolls. I've just seen so many leftwing celebrations on Twitter (at Reddit and BlueSky and TikTok), I thought that lefties were now infesting the comments to dance on Charlie Kirk's grave.

    I wish * had something wise and comforting to say.

    I will say that he was a great moral crusader, smart tough and full of guts, and that he inspired many in life and will inspire still more in his death.

    I pray for him. I do not pray for his killers, and those who celebrate his killing. For them, there is only cold, deadeyed hatred.

    "Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
    Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
    Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
    Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
    Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God."

    Matthew 5:4-8

    Rest peacefully in the merciful arms of Jesus, Charlie. May the Lord give your family peace.

    Tolkien had a good thought on this:

    "It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till."

    The uprooting will not be easy.

    I think the Yugo style breakup is more likely. A color map of the US is why. Every city depends on outside trucking to deliver food within about three or so day. NO trucks moving, people inside cities start to behave like in Sarajevo.

    Ditto for powerlines, etc. Urban areas are death traps in civil wars because they cannot feed nor power themselves.

    I can't recall the last significant conservative that was murdered. Not counting the strange deaths that could have been CIA induced.

    And despite all the X rage against boomers, the only other shooter I recall that was (probably) a boomer was the DC Republican softball shooter.

    178 I keep wondering what Charlie's team should do next. They were obviously filming him, do they release the footage?

    Supposedly he put up a tweet recently saying we absolutely need to make Iryna's death political. It was political to the left, it should be to us. But would he actually want that for his own death? Would he want his team to release the footage and make it political? Is that the correct thing to do?

    I'm trying to figure out the line where we finally push the Overton window back to the left acknowledging political violence is evil, and committing their side will stop it. But I don't know how you push the window back there without inciting a Civil War 2.0, which would truly be evil unleashed.

    I'm just in a lot of shock and fear right now. Overthinking everything, and the repercussions of these senseless deaths.

    I doubt the local cops and campus security are well-suited to hunting snipers, so this will fall to the Feds, and I see a couple not-so-great possibilities with that.

    There's a real chance he was working for them in some capacity, as we've seen before. In that case we won't know his name before he's dead (your implied outcome).

    There's also a probability that he wasn't. But federal LE is uniformly Leftist. It would be yuuuuge for the Left if the assassin wasn't caught. Legendary. Inspirational. It's a lot of motivation to throw this particular fight.

    205 Drudge (I know, I know...I check these places!) links a Fox 13 website out of Salt Lake City that reports School officials said gunshots were fired from the top of the Losee Center on campus, which is approximately 200 yards from where Kirk was speaking.

    200 yards is a shot that takes at least some level of practice and equipping. When they catch the shooter, his background and prep will be very interesting.

    253 My radical friend's take on FB was to graphically describe the gruesomeness of the video when he was shot, and to remind people that gun violence impacts real people and real bodies.

    So she relayed a political position, though she thankfully did not attack the victim. She put it in one of those "stories" that goes away. Maybe she's taking a step back from hardcore.

    200 yards is a shot that takes at least some level of practice and equipping. When they catch the shooter, his background and prep will be very interesting.

    The US is currently the longest lasting Government that has not significantly changed form... and the reason for that is the genius of some of the Founding Fathers. They KNEW that is you silence legitimate complaints, they will eventually get to the point where they come out in more violent ways.... which is why they enshrined Freedom of Speech.

    But the fact is that the Left has used social Judo and a stranglehold on Media, to silence those who are Conservative and actually LIKE the American Culture.

    Some, like Kirk, started to speak out... and the Left believes they MUST be silenced.

    I knew there have been protests for his speaking on college campuses. I once protested Michael Moore in FL universities. I was told their fees were paid by tuition, both on the left and right. I did not wish him murder.

    That's right. He was unfailingly even-tempered, fair-minded, open and generous. He handled their aggressive ignorance, slurs and hatred with nothing but calmness and grace. He was the quintessence of what you want to see in civil discourse.

    But it doesn't matter to them. It never does. They hated him for his knowledge and the skills he used to handle their worst. That's why they killed him -- he was too good, as a debater and as a human. He shamed them.

    I can't help but think this will change how pubic events are now managed for conservatives. We're targets. They want us dead. And the better we perform, the more they want us dead. Call it a perverse twist on meritocracy.

    Meanwhile, all that has been done over the past 24 years is get Muslims into influential positions in government and institutions across the country, promote "trans" in government positions and declare "gender identity" a protected trait, and half the country pushes to support illegal aliens and stop their deportation.

    "Back"???? It was never there. Do you know where the "left" description comes from, and when?

    It's always stood for rivers of blood and political lunacy, from the very start. They have NEVER acknowledged any such thing as you propose. Just as some people's lives only ever amount to being a warning to others, sometimes an ideology's purpose is only to teach people that when people start spouting it, you throw them out of helicopters for as long as necessary.

    We are all waiting to see if Trump can, for the FIRST time in the entire history of leftist political thought, get a group of them to chill out. But those who are smart are probably stacking beans, bullets, batteries, and drones, in the case that this goes the same way as every other time and we all enter the Thunderdome again.

    Look to Spain, both in that the beat it for a couple of generations, but then relaxed and quite possibly pissed it away.

That there was some way average Joe's could see there is no 'both sides' here; the Left and only the Left is violent and they are wholly convinced that they are morally correct in doing so, and will visit violence upon you if you challenge them...

    384 Purely guessing:
    While it was super werid that President Trump was shot, with his now known weak SS detail...

    I have to ask how much security a man like Charlie Kirk had. You can see them on camera. Were they not counting on snipers for a man with a conservative opinion?

    A very intelligent man who could debate anyone with concise and witty answers?

    In Utah one would not think he was entering, say, MN who shoot people who don't vote the right way. Or a gang banger city. Or next to the Mexican border wall.

    This was a mostly white area of conservatives. Did this make it easier? It sounds pretty open of kids pausing then going on to a class from some stuff I read. Not the usual security measures of barricades (I don't think...guessing). Watching for what appears to be a damn sniper.

    Freedom of speech. It remains. I guess until you shoot us all.

    THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
    by Rudyard Kipling

    It was not part of their blood. It came to them very late. With long arrears to make good. When the Saxon began to hate.

    They were not easily moved. They were icy — willing to wait. Till every count should be proved. Ere the Saxon began to hate.

    Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show. When the Saxon began to hate.

    It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state.
    No man spoke it aloud. When the Saxon began to hate.

    It was not suddenly bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead. When time shall count from the date that the Saxon began to hate.

    I could get any idiot to make that shot with half an hour of instruction, given a proper, and properly zeroed, tool. The hardest aspect for a case like this for a novice would be "buck fever". You dudes in PA and the upper midwest who have ever watched an army of guys consistently miss know what I mean.

    But mechanically this is a cake shot. I have .22 that I got for free that cost about $70 new, that I have not fired in almost 20 years, that I basically guaranfuckingtee I could pull out of the safe and land a hit on a man sized target at 200 yards, *with irons*, absent any major wind. With $1000 worth of Savage bolt gun + glass from any sporting goods shop in the US it'd be easy.

    It is so tragically ironic now. But thankfully we have his words and his channel immortalized.

    I hope this drives young people to his channel. Make them ask, what horrible thing could he have possibly said that someone will kill him for it? And it converts more people to his mindset. One can hope.

    -------------

    I started listening to Charlie's talk radio show maybe six months ago as it was the replacement locally for Dennis Prager's after the latter had a bad, paralyzing, near-fatal fall in his home.

    He really grew on me ... and I admired his courage.

    I was however quite put off by the (now sadly ironic) fact that he advertised for the ChiComm PsyOp TikTok -- and to his credit he'd acknowledge that it was a divisive issue with his audience, BUT credited it with helping him reach young people and to help get Trump over the finish line last year.

    Posted by: Sock Monkey

    Modern sporting rifle has about 2 MOA nowadays from the box. 100-200 yards, minimal wind reading, some need to adjust elevation if aiming down, and virtually no bullet drop from a center fire cartridge of moderate power (a bit far for a 22 Hornet for example) but very doable with a 223 or greater. And you have modern optics, mostly stationary target and if the dude was on top shooting downwards, little chance the shot would be blocked. Amphitheaters with tiered seating is a sniper dream if above it shooting towards the stage at a higher elevation. The biggest adjustment would be adjustment for shooting down.

    My guess is a homegrown lefty living around Orem. Lots of places around there to practice shooting at different elevations to the target.

    572 Listen to me, not that I deserve to be listened to as I know not much.

    I do know hearts. I do know decent people. I do know that this will not be forgotten.

    Charlie Kirk was a good man, with a voice of truth. Let's never forget him. He was not a political candidate. He was a conservative who could steer college students into thinking.

    Dims and leftist Commies are afraid of: freedom of speech.

    They had no one to turn the tide so they shot him.

    Either take up his flag or give up. I can't do much but pray for his family at this point. However, it is not a time for violence in return...as who could even equal this man's influence? They have no one.

    I pray they catch this killer, interview him as Keifer Sutherland on 24, and find out who put him up to this. Who is he a part of? Who is giving money for this?

    My prayers are with his family and friends. My anger is directed towards those who are rejoicing. My thoughts are in defeating them as this, today, could change how many think about the party of peace.

    IF it turns out he was shot answering a question about trans killers, that turns things further.

    Let not his death be in vain. A turning point.

    Actions contradict your words. You are a murderer as much as the shooter because as the Scriptures teach:

    "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."

    634 In military terms, this is an unconventional war.

    That usually means one side has all the resources but is playing defense and the other side is sniping and raiding and sabotaging. Their goals are different -- one want to maintain and the other to destroy.

    Ideologically, this is what we are up against. assassinations work for the Left because they want (need) to suppress speech. "overwhelming the system" works for them because they want to destroy the system. No-bail works for them because criminals destroy. (I could go on.)

    The Right wants order. We want security. We want wealth. Everyone benefits, and many on the right can not understand why the Left does not want that. ("Why doesn't the Iraqi terrorist want the aid station that is helping his people")

    641 whig at 5:28PM: "The biggest adjustment would be adjustment for shooting down."

    That's actually the mistake he made.

    He overcompensated for the fact that there's (a wee bit) less bullet drop when shooting from either an elevated or lower position, vs level shooting.

    From 200 yards, with an elevation of just "the top of a building" (so say 60 feet), the bullet's drop will be just a fraction of an inch less than it would with no elevation difference. He was hoping for a shot mid-medulla but allowed for 4 inches less drop so aimed 4 inches low; hit 4 inches low in the neck; and got very lucky with a carotid artery bullseye.

    Guy's not just evil, he's an under-prepared pud.

    Unbelievable.

    I recognize this guy, but can't name him. I want a name. I want a name to publish.

    I think it's Matthew Dowd, ABC "News's" former "political director."

    Do hateful words lead to hateful actions? Boy I sure hope that's not true for your sake, Matt.

    Update:

    Community Notes & Violations
    @CNviolations

    BREAKING: It's reported Charlie Kirk is in critical condition. According to the Associated Press.

    Critical isn't necessary terrible, as long as he's stable. I think "critical" just means ("just") that he is under close observation and it's a minute-by-minute thing. But if he's stable -- and I don't know if he is -- then there's a good chance he can be saved.

    Update: By word of mouth, he's stable -- but they now fear he'll be paralyzed.

    62 They're worried about Kirk having a spinal injury now. Survived blood loss now prayers that he's not paralyzed.

He was the chief strategist for the Bush–Cheney 2004 presidential campaign and was an ABC News political analyst. On September 29, 2021, he announced a run for lieutenant governor of Texas as a Democrat against the incumbent, Dan Patrick. On December 7, 2021, Dowd announced the end of his campaign.

    People saying the intrepid AOS liaison shouldn't relay what they're saying are in my opinion misguided. It's really fucking upsetting, I get it, but we cannot avert our eyes. There are people who are this unhinged and evil and demonic and we need to be aware of it and look at it head-on even it makes us want to puke.

    Charlie Kirk himself does TikTik ads. They are, according to his own ads, a billion dollar, with a b, powerhouse for small companies or for influencers hawking merch. I don't know if Trump, a business guy, would have the stomach to turn the spigot off of a billion dollar industry.

    so - excuses for a left-wing shooter?

    gee, what groups are nihilistic these days? It's a real puzzler

    now the clown is slagging qanon and other 'right wing' groups

    oooh - another clown is pretty much blaming trump for the shooter not being stopped because fibbies working domestic extremism have been reassigned to immigration work so a vast amount of fibbie expertise on extremst groups has been lost

    Welp, it is excuses for shooters day from the left

    Published: Sept 10, 2025, 12:34 p.m. MDT Updated: Sept 10, 2025, 1:54 p.m. MDT

    This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

    Charlie Kirk was shot at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday.

    Deseret News reporters on the scene report seeing Kirk shot during a Q&A with students. About two minutes into the interview, a gunshot rang out and Kirk appeared to be hit in the neck.

    UVU spokesperson Scott Trotter released a statement saying the suspect is not yet in custody.

    “On September 10, 2025, at 12:20 a single shot rang out in the quad near the food court on the Utah Valley University Orem Campus as Mr. Charlie Kirk began speaking at his planned rally. We can confirm that Mr. Kirk was shot, but we don’t know his condition. The suspect is not in custody. Police are still investigating Campus is closed for the rest of the day.”

    Initially it was believed that a shooter was in custody, but officials now say the suspect is not in custody.

    255 I often take offense when people lump all women, all boomers, all Jews etc into a category. The proper breakdown is Left vs Right. If you are on the Right chances are you are a good and decent person who is pretty normal(except for so,e eccentricities found here but perfectly acceptable). If you are firmly on the Left ,you are ost likely a Karen, a pro Palestinian Muslim,an LGBTQT freak or an atheist.
    That is the proper way to classify people. Not by ethnicity, sex, elision or skin color.

    Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot on Wednesday at an event in Utah and has been confirmed dead at the age of 31.

    Multiple sources confirmed his passing to Just the News.

    Kirk was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

    380 Members of the left aren't afraid of being political assassins because they are lonely and loveless people who have no one who will miss them if they get taken out in the process of becoming a left-wing martyr. They've given up family and true love for either a job or the other freaks they converse with on bluesky.

    On the otherhand you don't see actions like this from the right (despite every tv show, movie, and news station claiming otherwise) because most on the right have loved ones and a community who they care for, and who care for them.

    My city's subreddit had a discussion on how people could help the illegal immigrant community, and someone mentioned a nonprofit you could volunteer with that delivers food and supplies to them so they don't have to go out and risk getting picked up.

    I said that sounded like a great idea to generate leads, and asked if anyone had the ICE tip line number handy? I got banned. But now they'll be paranoid about future volunteers lol.

    - Too much blood. If there was that much blood it would have been visible in the long shot.
    - He rag-dolled too quickly with none of the active motion seen in the long video.
    - other parts just looked fake but I won't go into it.
    - If that was real, he would have been a corpse on the stage and everyone would know his condition before he got pulled into an ambulance.

    Probably in so far as the Canuck conservative reaction to Trump trolling Trudeau was to wrap themselves in the Canadian flag for once.

    UPDATE: Video of Arterial Blood Spraying Out of Kirk's Neck is an AI Fake!

    Update! Marina Medved said that the video showing blood pouring out of Charlie Kirk's neck is an AI Fake.

    Marinaa Medvin
    @MarinaMedvin

    There is an AI-altered video circulating showing a close up of a bullet going into Charlie Kirk's neck.

    The shooting of Charlie Kirk is real. His injury is real. The long-range video of the shooting is real. But the close-up video that just started circulating is AI.

    Don't share AI-generated videos of real events. It creates confusion and causes people to doubt the reality of actual videos depicting real life.

    So Kirk might have just been scratched! There is still hope.

    Eventually, they were going to figure out that shooting at Trump is really hard, and it's more effective to silence all the people who don't have a massive security detail, and way easier.

    Every gunned up psycho on the Left just saw this and said "Ah HA!"

    257 Newscum recycling the lib language from the Trump assassination. I wonder whose payroll he is on.

    "political violence"

    They are trying to lump their own in with us who are in the main extremely peaceful and normal. Also taking intellectual wording to diffuse the nature of the act.

    Shooting a regular dude you disagree with sometimes isn't "political violence". It's scumbag violence. It's communist violence.

    258 Nothing can be done. They'll just say (and BELIEVE) Kirk both spoke HATE and supported HATEFUL people and thus caused people to respond to him with HATE. It's all his fault for being a HATEful person. If he just supported the GOOD and TRUTHful positions of the Left, he's be alive like all the Democrats, who never have people take shots at them, since they inspire only LOVE

    When Steve Scalise was horribly injured in the Hodgkinson (?) shooting, the MFM went out of their way to call him a crazy person, even though he was affiliated with Durbin and Sanders.

    No. We need to see who these people really are. I can't wait to see what Van Jones has to say about this. No wait - I don't think we'll be seeing him for a little while.

    358 The GOP will win a civil war, I have little doubt. What comes out of the other end of the meat grinder will not be recognizable as the United States at all and that is in the end what the democrats want win or lose so in a sense the right is doomed to lose.

    Matthew Dowd blames Kirk's pushing “hate speech” as reason he was shot:

    Matthew Dowd blames Kirk's pushing “hate speech” as reason he was shot:

    "I always go back to hateful thoughts, lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions."





    So what cocksucker Dowd is saying is that his Donk fellow travelers are violent and have no self-control. I mean, us Morons knew that but it's interesting to see a Donk talking head admitting it.

    405 Just this morning I was reading Kurt Schlichter’s preface to his speculative fiction novel American Apocalypse: the Second American Civil War. The book is a fictional account of the civil war that follows the assassinations of both President Trump and Vice President Vance. In the preface, Col. Schlichter makes it very clear how horrible the bloodshed would be on both sides and how, even if we win, and we do win in this book, this is Schlichter, after all, we can’t put the pieces back together again and have what we once had. It is obvious from the first chapter that there is no more free speech in triumphant “blue” America: you can’t say anything supporting leftist ideas without expecting a knock on your door from the police. That’s fiction, but please think about what you might lose even if you win a civil war! I pray that Donald Trump, and J.D. Vance after him, may be able to put in place peaceful reforms that end the violence and hatred and returns us to a peaceful and prosperous future.

They imagine themselves hailed as heroes, and they're right. They are, they will be.

    Don't know how we respond to this. Do know Charlie Kirk is a good man: Kind, polite, intelligent, articulate. I've watched his college appearance videos with interest and admiration.

    And the "silent majority" elected the opposition to those terrorists rather than cowed to them.

    The embrace of terrorism now will more likely have a similar (not identical) effect, radicalizing the people against those doing it.

Their judges are subverting the courts and constitution. They are using NGO’s to form a shadow government and actively undermine the republic. Now they are using violence and kinetic action to take down any opposing voice.

    What will it take?

    Footage is notoriously unreliable, that said his neurological response looks like he endured a hydrostatic shockwave. Assuming he does not expire from simple exsanguination he is at risk of capilary damage along the arterial path of the shockwave and cardiac complication. The good news is he was near level III trauma care.

    Reports say he is stable, unlike the democrats.

    410 325 The embrace of terrorism now will more likely have a similar (not identical) effect, radicalizing the people against those doing it. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, in a world of gods and monsters with James Whale

    ------------------

    That would be great, just not feeling people being 'radicalized' against those doing it. I mean, it's easy to talk a big game in online comments. Much different to go to a rally or somewhere and shoot someone. Which I'm not advocating. But that's the point... Nobody on the Right is really looking to do that, but on the Left, they're perfectly happy to talk the game and "dog whistle" the psychotics they've bred into following through. I guess we just don't have those psychos. Or the lack of conscience to dog whistle them... I just don't see this going away. Maybe Trump can find a way between this and the Charlotte train stabbing to blast this into everyone's attention span and wake them up, lure some converts and marginalize the rest into shame in the corner. One can hope...

    411 Y’all, please stop. We are all affected by what we are seeing with our eyes and feeling in our hearts, it’s darn hard. I know it’s natural to take things out on those closest to you because it’s safe, and while hard to explain to those on the outside, the words in these grey boxes do make it feel like you are having discussions with real friends. Some of us are real friends out there, even. Being ridiculous about boomer this, lazy that is not helpful. It’s not advancing anything. It’s not supporting each other, because while we may disagree on details, we are the same team.

It could start with a national education campaign on the true history of the Left, for use in schools and for the media. Or a Presidential commission of distinguished scholars such like VDH and Dinesh d'Souza and Chris Rufo to produce a report to the President on Leftism in America. We once had unAmerican Activities Committees investigating Communism in America. Why not again?

    Kamala Harris, Who Is Entirely Unemployable and Needs Money Badly, Leaks Passages from "Her" Book to Trick the Public Into Thinking She Will Expose the Truth About Biden

    But that is all a lie. She is sticking to the Democrat prayerbook that Biden should have stepped down because of the polls, while insisting that he was mentally fit as a fiddle.

    Oh, and she also wants you to know that Biden failed to position her for success. In case anyone thought that maybe it wasn't Kamala Harris herself anonymously planting the many, many claims that "Biden's team isn't positioning me for success" in friendly media outlets, but instead just an overly-loyal staffer, no, it was her all along.

    Here she gently chastises Biden and his clownwhore wife for putting their egos above the good of the country the Democrat Party.

    kamalaharrisgentlychastisesbiden.jpg

    If you think that sounds tough, it's supposed to, to trick you into thinking this will be a genuine exposé.

    It's not. Here she insists she never saw Biden show any signs of mental unfitness, not once, not a single solitary time. Not even when he attempted to summon a ghost to the stage.

    kamalajoebidenwasmentallyfitasafiddle.jpg

    She once again shows her DEI mentality, complaining it's white men's jobs to do the black woman's work for her, again claiming that Biden's team "failed to position her for success."

    She tosses in a bonus "There is no way to fix the border," despite Trump having fixed it in, what was it, 30 days?

    kamalaharrisiwasntpositionedforsuccess.jpg

    She does not believe that her success or failure should depend on her own efforts and abilities, but that everyone else in the world should do her homework for her and Socially Promote her.

    Can you imagine a white guy saying this? Of course not, white men know that no one in the world is looking out for us except for our families and God, and we know that there isn't a whole national political party dedicated to making us "succeed" even when we fail.

    This reminds me of the dozens of times Kamala Harris leaked it to media allies that her staff just wasn't preparing her enough.

    Honey, your staff can write reports for you, but they can't read them for you. Maybe spend a little more time reading at work instead of drinking, huh?

    Finally, she say Biden just jelly of her star power.

    kamalaharrisjoebidenwasjealousofme.jpg

    I think this is pure bullshit. She is letting out the slightest chastisement of Biden while continuing to insist he was mentally fit as a fiddle, just to trick people into buying her cover-up book.

    Open carry in 9/10 use cases is for idiots and wannabe tough guys.

    Nothing says "shoot me first" like having a 1911 dangling off your hip in public like a fucking retard.

    You want to open carry on your own land or maybe in a super small town where you're making one stop at the local feed store? Be my guest. Doing it in "public" is absolutely stupid.

    His individual new voice?
    Knocked into the middle of next week
    His brainchild now consorts with the bad buys
    The sinker, clinkers, dogs and dregs,

    71 It's time for another episode of … The Blade's Garage of Awesomeness! In today's episode we do … not talk about the new Ferrari "F173M" replacement for the SF90 that was showed yesterday. Ferrari has foolishly decided to call the new car the "Testarossa." I don't like it. Maybe I'll talk about it another day.

    Today, we talk about something less exotic: the new Honda Prelude. The Prelude is a popular name from the 1990s that Honda put on a sporty coupe and gave car enthusiasts without big bucks something to buy. It was a showcase for then-new technology, like 4-wheel steering and the DOHC "VTEC" engine.

    So the new Prelude carries forward the tradition, right? Umm ... nah. It's a Civic Hybrid under a controversially-styled coupe body. I kind of like the looks. Nobody has driven it yet, so who knows how well it carries forward the legacy. But I'm sure affluent hairdressers and wealthy daughters will be interested!

    122 If she really wanted to put the good of the party ahead of personal ego, she would have refused the nomination herself.

    Recall that in 2020 she was forced to withdraw from *her own party's primary* without winning a single delegate.

    How she (or anyone) thought that translates into national success is a real mystery.

    I understand why the party went along with it, as being called sexiss or raciss is the worst possible thing in their world, but it's hard to imagine that even Commie Lay is retarded enough to think she had a chance of winning.

    Now, was anyone expecting violence to break out? No. My drunk sister is all bluster!

    What I think people are objecting to now, is the zealots who act like douchebags, and video themselves having confrontations with cops who don't know the law.

    Someday I'd like to live in a world where I can have a gun on my hip, or have it under my clothing, not visible at all, and everyone would think that's not only normal, but quite helpful at keeping the peace. The way we do when we see cops open carrying. Well, most of the time, anyway.

    Ask any gun store clerk how many times that a customer has pointed a gun at someone in the store. The truth is that a lot of people are careless with firearms and allowing them open carry in a store means that inevitably they will draw their pride and joy to show someone else. Sometimes that will result in a negligent discharge that hurts someone.

    Ideally a gun store could exclude idiots from entry but you really do not know who the idiots are until they expose themselves--often then it is too late.

    Your thesis is based on the assumption that you're the only one who is open carrying.

    But then I live in a civilized state where it's legal to carry, openly or concealed, with no permit of any kind.

    It's always been legal to open carry here, and quite common to see outside the city, so I guess maybe I'm not quite so...triggered...by the sight of someone carrying a gun.

    Also, parents are required to be present and participating in the schooling process.

    How many movies have there been, where the sheriff in some western town tells all the cowboys and assorted drifters coming into town, to remove their firearms, and hand them over. To be returned when they leave.

    Now, if your sheriff DOES keep the peace, that's a good plan, but all too often those movies feature something going wrong. Either the sheriff is corrupt, or some bad guy blows in and causes all kinds of havoc.

    That's when you need the man with no name to come in and take out the bad guys. And maybe steal a kiss from the local bar wench. As he leaves town, the only people who resent him bringing his firearms into town are the dead perps, and the ninny dude who was sweet on the bar wench.

    The term "ugg" or "uggs" is subject to trademark disputes, which is why some blogs and companies avoid using the word. The primary reason is the legal battle over the trademark rights to the term "ugg," which is a generic term for sheepskin boots in Australia and New Zealand, where it has been used for decades to describe a style of footwear.

    The Californian company Deckers Outdoor Corporation (now Deckers Brands) owns the Ugg trademark in the United States and other countries, and has aggressively enforced these rights.

    Depends on a lot of factors for accuracy. If the ground is disturbed like plowing, etc. then GPR or the magnetic survey is much less accurate at detecting what is below. Soil type can also matter.

    I suspect you could do about as well to detect graves if you took core samples of soil to figure out where the natural soil layers had been disturbed or had a really accurate surface height variation measurements to indicate variations from the normal surface. Then again, not an archaeologist, just watch shows about it.

    236 Open carry was the default in a lot of places. A permit was required if you wanted to carry concealed.

    Open carry was outlawed in California (long rifles) when (after) the “Black Panthers” started hanging around the Capitol building in Sacramento wearing fatigues and berets with shotguns and rifles. Just exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.

    But open carry is a tool, in the toolbox, it ought not to be unlawful nor the only choice. It has its applications, it just means people aren’t automatically criminals if they get a glimpse of it under your shirt, for example.

    Of course they did. Everyone in the mainstream media spent eight years in the Obama administration openly ridiculing the old bumbling fool and his constant gaffes. But in the following four years, something happened.

    Joe Biden was transformed. Far from growing older, and more bumbling and foolish, it's as if the hands of time pinwheeled backward, and the world was introduced to a new Biden - the avuncular and stern, yet oddly sensual skipper of the US Ship of State, staring down America's enemies with a steely gaze from behind his aviator sunglasses.

    262 But open carry is a tool, in the toolbox, it ought not to be unlawful nor the only choice. It has its applications, it just means people aren’t automatically criminals if they get a glimpse of it under your shirt, for example.
    Posted by: Common Tater

    I think that was part of the reason the judge ruled that way in Florida. If you carried your piece concealed but had a whoops moment, a malicious prosecutor could nail you for brandishing.

    Georgia was the opposite, you could carry openly but to carry concealed, you had to have a pistol toting permit.

    277 In the west, in cow towns and the like, it was not uncommon to ban open carry because it was considered provocative. However, carrying concealed was not a biggie. I would have to support open carry if there are restrictions to concealed carry.

    This is parsing, I know.

    Posted by: Kindltot at September 10, 2025 02:31 PM (rbvCR)

    The history of the advent of concealed carry permit laws was that concealed carry was frowned upon, because nobody except those with ill-intentions would furtively seek to conceal his weapon.

    Open carry was the rule. Then, when black people started parading weapons openly to intimidate politicians, open carry became disfavored, and the modern concealed carry permit regime was created.

    No. They will do it all again. For at least a decade or more.

    Because:
    1) they did run a perfect campaign. As to a Romney/McCain, with their "finest cheat machine" in history. All the media, the hype, the celebrity roll-outs, the money, so, so much money. They won 3 Presidential elections w/ that. 3 more if you count Clinton and Gore.
    2) they firmly believe Trump is a one-off.
    3) None, not a one, has learned, even 10 months later, one single reason why they lost.
    In fact, every single Dem even in the conversation for 2028 and beyond are all doubling and tripling down on all of Kamala's policies.
    4) the hard left has a death-grip on the party. There is no "moderate" youth on their side.

    314 Charlie Kirk was just shot at all event at Utah Valley University. Apparently hit in the neck. No info on his condition.

    Word is they arrested the shooter.

    I was there. I heard the gunshot but didn't see the impact or the shooter.

    315 I'm not sure which one would perform worse.

    Kamala has the stench of failure and babble-mouth, but black women lurv her.

    Newsom is slick, has governed a failed state just getting worse, can't stake out an individual identity, and has no support in the black community (now).

    They'll need space to fully exercise that right. It is only proper that we erect 75-feet high walls around an area in each of the 100 largest cities in the nation. In these areas, only blacks will be permitted, to ensure there is no white supremacy and rayy-cissm within. Any black may enter; no one may leave the BLM paradises. (Why would anyone want to leave paradise?) Any weapons and ammunition can be carried-in. Drugs can be bought from cartel representatives at whatever prices can be negotiated. No law enforcement personnel will be admitted. Junk food along with regular and diet sodas will be provided for free. I say give BLM what it wants!

    I've said it before, but this is a personnel problem.

    The GOP would STILL be W-infected top to bottom without Trump.

    The Democrat Party, outside the off-chance an outsider comes in and takes control, will be dominated by Obama-holdovers and acolytes for a generation. Hell, Biden's WH was so Obama centric in terms of personnel that Susan Rice had a position and Biden nominated more black women for the fed bench than Obama did in half the time.

    They can't shake off the rank detritus of Obama's presidency's ideology because they're all people in power within the party who believe it.

    346 I think that was part of the reason the judge ruled that way in Florida. If you carried your piece concealed but had a whoops moment, a malicious prosecutor could nail you for brandishing.

    Georgia was the opposite, you could carry openly but to carry concealed, you had to have a pistol toting permit.

    Florida had recently become constitutional concealed carry only. You could not get a permit for open carry,* printing, flashing, or peak-a-boo pistol grip.

    If you are open carrying but it’s covered by your shirt and not in plain view, then it would be classified as concealed carry. At least in some states.

Posted by: Orson at September 10, 2025 02:48 PM (dIske)

    YEP. This is the payoff system the Dems have - book deals. They pay her $30 million, she sits and has coffe with a ghostwriter for a couple of hours a week, for three months. Then comes the book tour - where they pay her with luxury accomidations for three months. Next comes "oh now, our massive investment in the book we thought would be popular lost money. Good thing we can write it off on our taxes."

    Lastly the real secret part - the publisher got paid off as well - someone else fronted the $30 million for a "share" of the "profits". The publisher publishes these books because it is a no-lose deal. Whatever they sell they keep all the money, because Kamala is being paid by an "investor".

    The Only Story In America: Feds Lodge Terrorism Charge Against Democrats' Black the Ripper; Trump Demands Death Penalty; Karoline Leavitt Blasts Democrat Judges, Prosecutors, and "Complict" Democrat Media

    The feds have charged DeCarlos Brown with the federal crime of "Terrorism or other violence resulting in death on a mass transit system." The charge has a maximum penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole -- or death.

    He has been charged with committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system.

    "This brutal attack on an innocent woman simply trying to get to her destination is an attack on the American way of life. Of course, crimes like this affect the victim the most -- Iryna deserves justice, and we will bring justice to her and her family," Russ Ferguson, a US Attorney, said.

    Ferguson was forced to hold back tears as he unveiled the federal charge that Brown has been hit with.


    Justice Department officials have labeled the stabbing as a "terroristic act."

    Trump isn't quite sure which option he prefers.

    Oh wait, he is.

    deathpentaltydecarlos.jpg


    The Satanic savage who was repeatedly released by left-wing judges and prosecutors says that he didn't commit the crime, the "materials" implanted in his body by the government did.


    Decarlos Brown, the man federally charged with murdering 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte commuter train Aug. 22, is now speaking about the horrific slaughter, claiming the government implanted "materials" inside his body to make him butcher the Ukraine refugee.

    In a phone interview circulating online, Brown blames "The material. Put it like that. The material using my body. It's that. You know, that's not me.

    "I'm talking about just for no reason. But since they did that, since they did that, now they got to investigate the material my body exposed to. Since they want to do all that, now they got to investigate."

    The interviewer asks Brown: "She's from the Ukraine ... and you know they got a war ... so I'm just trying to understand, out of all people, why her?"

    "I don't have nothing," Brown responded. "They just lashed out on them. That's what happened.

    "They lashed out on her. Well I was working out ... Whoever was working the material, they lashed out on her."

    That interview is here.

    Jesse Watters reports that the magistrate who let DeCarlos Brown out of jail just this past January for no bail -- just a signed promise to show up for his next court date -- is a DEI hire without a law degree who is also a "DEI Consultant" and "Racial Equity Organizer."

    Benny Johnson
    @bennyjohnson

    INSANE: Jesse Watters reveals the court that freed Iryna Zarutska's killer is COMPLETELY run by DEI.

    A Harris-donor magistrate with no law degree, a clerk who calls herself a "DEI consultant," and "racial equity organizer" and a judge named "DEI Champion of the Year."

    "When Brown was arrested yet again in January of this past year, a Democrat judge who I will add was a strong supporter of Kamala Harris, released this insane criminal once again without requiring him to pay any bail."

    "Ms. Stokes wasn't elected.

    She was nominated by the clerk in Mecklenburg County. The sitting clerk is Alyssa Chin Gary. On her LinkedIn page, she calls herself a clerk and a DEI consultant And her life mission? and a racial Reparations. equity organizer."

    "Ms. Stokes was nominated by Judge Carla Archie. Judge Archie isn't just any judge. In 2019, she was the DEI Champion of the Year."

    "Is this starting to make sense? Did a woman die because of DEI? This is a DEI court and they have blood on their hands. And if the people in robes are on the same side as the bad guys, that's suicide."

    "DEI died when Kamala lost. It's illegal and releasing felons with dozens of arrests for social justice is a crime against the country."

    Strong reporting, @JesseBWatters


    They all need to face consequences.

    They'll also add hate crime charges -- "I got that white girl."

    Karoline Leavitt absolutely blasted soft-on-crime Democrat judges and "prosecutors" for acting as DeCarlos Brown's accomplices in this butchery -- and said the media was "complicit" as well, for covering up every single outrageous crime committed by the Democrats' Protected Class of Murderers.

    A BLM activist makes her position clear: "Black people have the right to violence" against their white oppressors.

    Megyn Kelly
    @megynkelly

    Fuck BLM, its bullshit DEI/criminal justice "reforms," the knee-bending candy-ass judges/DAs/pols who went along with the lies about racist policing and who created the revolving door for criminals arrested dozens of times and for the clearly mentally ill & dangerous -- all at unspeakable costs to the innocent young women of America. F. THEM. ALL.

    Hello.

    It's a bad day in America. Hopefully we will finally decide that We don't have to live like this any longer.

    Brown and all the scumbags attacking joggers and preying on dog walkers invariably target women and older people. They never attack the 200-pound muscular MMA guy out running.

    Because Transportation Secretary is exploiting this, saying he will cease funding to NC Metro to ingratiate himself with Trump and his supposed "war on crime." RW exploitation at its worst. I assume Charlotte has a Democratic mayor

    For the same reason I just flipped on Fox and they're still talking about Cracker Barrel. 🙄 Teaser going into commercial “Terrorists killed in Qatar”

    The victim is pretty and looks like "us" while he looks "foreign." It did not happen in Chicago, but it is a city subway setting and the story can still be part of "CRIME!" being promoted by "left wing lunatic" Dems, who "let the killer out" ... so, overall, I think it works for FOX and their ilk.

It’s being peddled and nurtured by Democrats like the mayor of Charlotte and the rest of their like minded communists in places like New York, Illinois, California and Democrat run cities across the nation. The rule of law only matters to them insomuch as how they can weaponize it against the citizens. They’ve use it to attack the Bill of Rights and undermine the social contract. They distort material law and constitution in order to achieve dastardly, insidious ends. They own this, every one of them and your family isn’t safe in any place where their evil carcasses reside.

    The insanity defense is tough to establish. "Legal insanity" is not normal insanity. For legal insanity, you have to prove that you did not know what you were doing was wrong. Like, you had a hallucination you were killing a demon or something.

    Also, just in practical terms, the kind of people who get off on the insanity defense are clearly NOT insane. Like, a husband will claim temporary insanity when he kills his wife -- "I just blacked out." Clearly bullshit.

    Juries tend to reject the insanity defense when it's actually an insane person and a monster -- because they know that monster might kill them. Whereas the husband who kills his wife is probably only a threat to his wife.

    170 The insanity defense is tough to establish. "Legal insanity" is not normal insanity. For legal insanity, you have to prove that you did not know what you were doing was wrong.

    Which is why we encourage the 'nothing is wrong' mentality. For those susceptible, our therapists can even instill the thought that 'wrong is right'.

    If a bartender serves a clearly drunk man and that man kills someone in a DUI crash that night, the bartender can be prosecuted.

    If a judge releases a clearly violent man and that man kills a woman on a train a few days later, why can't we prosecute the judge?

    It's forcing the issue in people's minds, and that's a good thing. Many, MANY people gloss over this kind of stuff until they're forced to assess it. Then, in ones and twos, they can be convinced.

    Another layer: the video was suppressed so the mayor could get her reelection in the primary. Bless the people finally leaking this footage. There wasn't time for the news to get traction before the primary. But at least people know now.

    Yet another layer: the judge releasing the murderer owns business connected to mental health. Does she pocket money from setting criminals free?

They do not give one shit for the residents of the city paying their salaries, only their pets for profit and power.

    This is what most of the Third World looks like in terms of justice--a Chinese defense lawyer that was taking an admin law class from me described it as do you have clout based on who you were or not.

    Exactly this. If I recall, the killer hid his clothes or something, which indicates he knew what he did was wrong.

    For one of the few cases of actual insanity defense, the otherwise fairly normal kid Austin Harrouff had a mental snap and killed two people, eating the face of one of his victims as the police escalated force to get him to stop, ultimately kicking him in the head to make him stop. I believe he said he thought they were witches or something, but he doesn't remember clearly. His mother saw him in the kitchen chugging a bottle of vegetable oil before going on a walk that lead to the random killings.

    So, when they say "we don't have enough cops and public defenders and judges to work through our backlog" this is WHY. Because they are processing the same loser a dozen times. If they had tossed him in jail the first time, they could be back out on the streets catching the next asshole, instead of running around only to let him go. This guy sucked up a huge amount of law enforcement resources over the course of his life.

    This is why we have rampant crime, and "underfunded" justice systems. Becasue we waste so much time and money, over and over, on the same few people.

    A lot of petty crime goes by because we don;t have the resources. But we don't have the resources because it is all tied up in revolving door justice.

    294 NYT: A Grueseome Murder in North Carolina Ignites a Firestorm on the Right
    ______________________________

    The irony is soooo think. White kills black, Minneapolis and a bunch of other cities burn (literally), and they call it "mostly peaceful."

    Black kills white and no one goes rampaging, burning, looting and the like. But, the NYT makes sure to say "Ignites a firestorm on the right."

    297 Whatever the reasons are, I doubt it's a "leftist" issue, and I doubt it's because there are judges who want crazy violent people on the streets

    I think its a combination of several awful and sinful ideas.

    1) empathy which makes them feel bad at the sad stories of backgrounds of the criminals and the "historical racism" they suffer from because 400 years of slavery etc.
    2) an understanding of the world that is limited to oppressor/oppressed dynamics: the only reason someone could be in prison is because someone oppressed them, because they are a minority and out of power.
    3) combining those first two ideas results in the belief that people do crime because they feel powerless and have been oppressed their whole lives, and if we end that, then the crimes go away.
    4) the idea that there are "too many" "BIPOC" people in prison because of racism, so reducing that number will result in equity of treatment and lower oppression

    Its well meaning, sort of, but based on such stupid, insane, and irrational concepts that it ends up being evil.

    But at the same time, I've been on the NYC subway, the DC Metro, and the BART in San Francisco with crazy, clearly schizo or drugged up people. It's horrifying. You realize you are a vulnerable meat stick in a metal tube with no escape. Everyone refuses to make eye contact and just pretends they aren't there, hoping the crazy person goes away.

    Yes, motivation can play into penalty: dad who kills the man who raped his daughter? Slap on the wrist. But being insane doesn't make you any less guilty. If you cannot stomach the concept of trying a lunatic, then there's an alternative:

    Anyone "unable to stand trial" should be instantly put into an asylum until they are capable of standing trial or die.

    For the sake of argument let's say what they say is true, a cop killed an innocent blackman, and it shows the government abusing it's power.

    Here we have a black man killing an innocent white woman, and his accomplices are the DEI leftist judges who set these animals free as their own form of reparations and terrorism against innocents.

    The cop's actions were spur of the moment, the judge's are premeditated. Floyd was 1 of 12 unarmed blacks killed by cops, that year black men killed 492 random white people.

    Iryna's death is 1,000% more a pattern of white people killed by blacks, and aided by criminal leftist judges, than George's is of police abuse.

A sociopath can seem very reasonable and normal at first blush. Someone being insane does not mean that they cannot make sane or rational choices. It means that at least part of the time they are not capable of it, or only capable of irrational action, not constantly.

    I call it Misery Homeostasis, the idea that there is a certain level of comfort in violence and misery that society trends towards. If things get nice, then Sadists will rise up to inject misery, pain and violence. When the misery exceeds a certain point, you get Trump.

    If Trump can't restore the misery to a lower intensity, then there will be other actors who aren't as concerned about the law and civil behavior and engage in activities that lessen the misery of the larger republic.

    406 🚨 The Daily Mail has now published chilling details from inside the Mecklenburg County jail. The killer, Decarlos Brown, didn’t just stab 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska… he stalked her from behind as she sat scrolling her phone, then lunged with a knife.
    The video shows her collapsing, passengers fleeing, and Brown walking away holding the bloody weapon.
    Brown later admitted in a call recorded by his sister: “I hurt my hand, stabbing her. I don’t even know the lady. I never said not one word to the lady at all. That’s scary, ain’t it. Why would somebody stab somebody for no reason?”
    He babbled about “foreign materials” planted in his brain and claimed she was “reading his mind.” His sister Tracey told the Daily Mail she “strongly feels he should not have been on the streets at all” and directly blamed the state of North Carolina for releasing him time after time.
    And who exactly put him back on the streets? The Daily Mail reports that Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes was presented with Brown’s case on January 21. She knew he was delusional, dangerous, and calling 911 with paranoid rants about microchips in his brain. Yet she gave him cashless bail—

    410 just a “written promise” to return to court. No treatment. No confinement. No protection for the public.
    This wasn’t his first chance. He had served time for armed robbery. He assaulted his own sister. He was arrested again and again, each time a walking red flag. But Democrat-run Charlotte, and judges like Teresa Stokes, decided that putting him back in circulation was worth the risk. And now an innocent woman is dead.
    The Daily Mail lays it bare: “He was seeking help. He called 911 multiple times. Instead of talking to him they thought charging him was going to help.” But the judge’s answer was to turn him loose. That decision sealed Iryna’s fate.
    And let’s be clear: had this been reversed—had a White man stabbed a minority refugee—the media would be running wall-to-wall coverage. Instead, there are no hashtags, no vigils on cable news, no politicians pounding podiums. Just silence.
    Meanwhile, Iryna’s family mourns. They fled Ukraine in 2022 seeking peace. They described her as “a gifted and passionate artist” with a “deep love for animals.” She had graduated college in Kyiv, was working at a pizza shop, and had just posted Charlotte’s skyline to Facebook nine days before her

    413 before her death, celebrating her new beginning. She dreamed of becoming a veterinary assistant. She never got the chance.
    The Daily Mail quotes her family: “She had only recently arrived in the US ‘seeking safety from the war and hoping for a new beginning’ before the random slaughter.”
    That “random slaughter” was anything but random. It was the predictable, preventable consequence of soft judges like Teresa Stokes and weak leaders who put criminals ahead of victims.
    This must be said plainly: Judge Teresa Stokes bears responsibility for letting Decarlos Brown walk free. She had the power to stop him. She had the evidence. And she looked away.
    Iryna was safer on the streets of war-torn Ukraine than on a Charlotte light rail under Democrat leadership. That should shake every American to the core.
    Obviously this killer is setting himself up for an insanity defense. He deserves the penalty immediately.
    Say her name. Iryna Zarutska.
    Never forget who failed her: a system more interested in releasing criminals than protecting the innocent.

    Pocket knife laws in the US are completely nuts. The rules can change dramatically from city to city and county to county. Most cops don't know the rules and if you run into a cop that has a personal issue with knives, he's going to confiscate it, even if it's completely legal.

    Here in WA, there was a case that went all the way to the state supreme court in which a woman with a paring knife in her back pocket was charged with a felony. It was upheld. Basically any "hidden" fixed blade is a felony in WA. What does hidden mean? Whatever the lawyers say it means.

    477 Very good advice but it applies to almost all situations. Too many people lack situational awareness and have haywire sixth senses.

    Don't sit or stand near hulking thugs or homeless bums. Don't stand on the edge of a subway platform. Don't pick fights with rando ferals. Don't put yourself in situations where you are drastically outnumbered by any one kind of people. If something feels wrong, it probably is.

    And here's the kicker: Don't be afraid to "judge" people or rely on stereotypes. Stereotypes usually exist for a reason. "Judging" people can save your life. Do it.

    492 Pocket knife laws in the US are completely nuts. The rules can change dramatically from city to city and county to county. Most cops don't know the rules and if you run into a cop that has a personal issue with knives, he's going to confiscate it, even if it's completely legal.
    Posted by: bonhomme
    =======
    It is also a sad fact that universally street people have ersatz stabbing or slashing instruments somewhere around their persons or belongings. That is one of the reasons for distate for knives among police--they often face this risk in daily ops.

    A favorite tool for burglars, rapists, etc is a long handled plain ole bladed screwdriver--can be used to pry open doors or windows, and once inside to stab if needed. Screwdrivers are cheap enough to be readily discarded if needing to flee from police after use and plausible denials if stopped by police.

    Often those will ill intent on B&E of occupied residences then grab a knife out of the kitchen to do more harm. Not wise to keep kitchen knives out in plain sight for that reason.

    I assume that's because that's the name that Congress gave it when they made it a federal matter. Trump cannot color outside the lines. Not even a little bit. If the statute says terrorism, then terrorism it is.

    529 Doc Hollywood is not mocking of the south at all but its really a dumb, crappy movie. One of the most puzzling scenes was having super hot Bridget Fonda throw herself at Doc and him just ignoring her for not reason whatsoever. Its not like he was established as a moral man or someone with a girl back home, or a guy saving himself for marriage. He just treats her like she's a closing-time 4 and backs away.

    Then there's the whole extended "let's pee on everything so it spoils deer hunting" scene :/

    Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 10, 2025 01:37 PM (dfIr7)

    lol at that scene.
    Yeah, I think Doc didn't get with the Fonda character because he saw her coming a mile away and he really liked the "let's pee on everything" girl a lot more.

    It's not the best movie, but for mid-80s Michael J. Fox fare it's OK for a few laughs.

    That is why I think guy might not be able to persuade a judge and jury on insanity. Too calm without any apparent agitation and a statement of hate after doing it.

    I have never understood the insanity defense - if you are criminally INSANE then you should be held forever in an instituion. With criminals there are at least some motive and deterrent. With insane people, who the fuck knows what you are going to do? You are a danger to yourself and others.
    Posted by: El Mariachi

    =============

    afaik, the insanity defense is not only NOT a get-out-of-jail-free card, it's a Go-directly-to-jail-card with even less hope of ever getting out than a criminal conviction. At least, when asylums are available and magistrates are willing to lock up dangerous schizos.

    One of the problems that dude will face is that in the federal system, he will get examined (if he claims insanity) by the best of forensic psychiatrists and psychologists. And your mind becomes essentially the evidence of insanity thus waiving the 5th. You cannot refuse access to extensive questioning, tests, etc. if you claim insanity as it is a justification claim that you did the crime but insane so that you lacked the ability to understand what you did was a crime. So the defendant has the burden of proof (same as self defense).

    Most of them were rescued from idiots who got baby cubs from God knows where, and put them in small cages in their back yards.

    Basically nothing is done, because legally nothing can be done. Unless and until they kill someone. And then the racists decide this is a good thing.

    The Road is Long

    When a government steps onto the road to expropriation of property, it is often a long journey. While the grand, fast expropriations of communism in various forms are certainly real, this method is not preferred by those who wish to boil the frog. A long, slow erosion of property rights and the gradual muscling out of former owners in favor of the state or state-connected cronies is much preferred.

    Property taxes and regulation are the obvious examples of this. Just keep pushing on the tax rate. Impose new taxes. Drive taxes inexorably higher every year, until the owners cry uncle and sell. Who gets the property in the sale? People who can afford those high taxes - or who have friends in government who can get them abatements. The former owners get to become renters. If the taxes don't do it, the regulations may. Pass as many rules as possible. Restrict how people use property. If you're truly skilled like California is, make insurance impossible, too. Drive down utility and drive up liabilities until the appeal of ownership vanishes. Sell it off, and get out of the way of the state and her cronies.

    I saw two examples of this kind of progression recently, one more subtle than other. The subtle example is old (though new to me) and comes from California. In 2014 and in the midst of a drought, California passed the "Sustainable Groundwater Management Act" (SGMA), which reclassified water rights. Water rights stopped being a thing as such, with groundwater recast as a "shared resource":

    The law asserts that groundwater is a shared resource. While it upholds a farmer's right to pump, it imposes rules on its use. For the first time in California history, managers of the state's 140 most overdrawn groundwater basins must balance the amount of water being pumped from, and recharged into, aquifers by 2040. It allows increased pumping during drought only if no major problems result.
    With old water rights (or at least standards and practices governing use) gone and water now community property by law, then came the metering of once-private - and still privately-maintained - wells. Then in 2021, as predictable as the sun rising in the east, came the billing:
    Growers are billed $246 an acre-foot, the equivalent of an acre of water one foot deep. In four years, (that's this year, and how I learned about it. -ed) fees will jump to $346. Those who allow their property to be flooded with stormwater, helping replenish the aquifer, can earn rebates. The agency also offers inducements, such as efficiency gadgets and incentives to fallow land.

    A handful of farms have refused access; their bills are estimated, with stiff penalties added.

    Of course. Compliance and the stiff penalties are the point. That and driving agriculture out of business, of course. And fees, as always, continue to rise.

    I am originally from Colorado and understand the perils of not enough water. Water can indeed be a "shared resource" and water rights are therefore a ruthless and cutthroat battleground - sometimes literally. The laws are often arcane and puzzling it out can be extremely difficult. But not even Colorado went so far as to just declare that water rights don't exist. It isn't as far along the road as its colonial master is.

    Another is so-called "ghost taxes." What is a ghost tax? Also called a "vacant home tax," a ghost tax is an explicit attempt to force owners to sell by making taxes onerous:

    These kinds of taxes or fees are imposed on landlords whose properties are vacant and not rented for an extended period of time- typically about six months.

    They are used as a tool in a handful of American cities and Canada to encourage property owners to rent or sell their homes and thereby increase the stock of affordable housing.

    This article is about Denver, but they aren't the only ones pursuing it. San Francisco tried a version of it (deemed unconstitutional), Oakland and Washington DC have versions of it, Honolulu is also floating the idea, and various foreign cities have equivalents.
    In explaining the vacant home fee proposal, Alderman said, "We want to encourage landlords to lower their rents on units that are sitting vacant while people are living outside. Is there a way to incentivize that lowering of rent so the working-class folks and the people experiencing homelessness in Denver have a chance to get into a rental unit? I think vacancy fees might be a way to think about that," said Alderman. "This is one potential option of many that we think is worth exploring."
    "I don't think it's unreasonable to ask the housing community, when they have empty units for long periods of time, to consider making those units available to lower-income households," said Alderman.
    You're not proposing to "ask." You're proposing to compel by means of extortion. Call it what it is, Ms. Communist. Even if we assume that landlords holding out on price cause street-level vagrancy (they don't), this wouldn't do a thing to fix it. Even in the ideal scenario where rents are all slashed immediately and vacancy falls to zero, it would do nothing to reduce vagrancy. But that won't happen, and it isn't supposed to. That isn't the point. This has nothing to do with vacancy rates and everything to do with extracting cash and forcing sales - sales to those who meet with Ms. Communist's approval.

    Waving away water rights, assessing "ghost taxes," driving up liabilities and countless other approaches are all steps down the road of expropriation. The rubes can't be having property. That's only for the politically connected.

    29 Rain barrels (collecting rainwater) is actually illegal in some Western states. Colorado is one. The rainwater is already spoken for.

    So we have jurisdictions that will tax the rain that falls on your property. But it still isn’t yours to use. I had a wooden rain-barrel on the side of my house. For some reason Goolag Erf blurred that out, and only that. Kinda wacky.

    There was never a halcyon time where property tax was never a thing. Some states had different title procedures. I think Nevada had “Alloidal” titles, and you could pay a one time property tax and be done with it. Not any longer, though, I’m sure.

    55 One thing that could help in some small way:

    Making it illegal to require new owners of a house to join the HOA.

    They can opt in, but the assumption is that the new owners did not agree to the creation of the HOA, they own the land that they have purchased, not the HOA, and the HOA cannot impose on the new owners of the house because the HOA does not actually own the house or the land it's on.

    Half of the Portland city council is socialist, and it is evident that one of their goals is to make the rental housing stock completely government-controlled.

    They want more "affordable housing", but building it is too expansive, so they are simply buying private apartment buildings in Portland and turning them over to "non-profits" to manage.

    The amendment does not mandate Congress pass such a tax, it simply allows them to do so. So, like the NFA, Congress can at any time decide to pass a new law getting rid of the income tax or the NFA. All it needs then is a president willing to sign the legislation or let it go into law without his signature.

We've toyed with the idea, but TBH the effort to collect it for garden use isn't really worth the effort. Forget about human consumption.

    A town near me had a budget crunch when the state stopped giving them "emergency COVID funds". They had used the temporary funds to hire a bunch of permanent bureaucrats.

    So the town proposed a 25% increase in property taxes. Many residents noted they could not pay that kind of money and the answer from our empathetic leftists? If you can't pay the tax SELL AND MOVE.

    72 Desalination was promoted in both party's platforms back in the 1950s and 1960s (you know, when Democrats genuinely tried to appeal to the whole country). There's no reason it shouldn't be cost-effective and widely used by now in coastal states with water issues.

    I more or less understand the technology, but know very little about the economics of desalination, so I'd want to see the numbers before I said it's a suitable alternative to rain. If, as I assume, it's more expensive than rain, you could allow people to buy it to supplement their current inadequate allocation.

    After all the governmentally-sponsored fiascos and outright lies about system costs, I no longer trust them to tell me the truth.

Not only can crap be written into a deed beyond the actual dimensions of the property, but usage can become an "implied easement". Did the previous owners of your home let gypsies park their caravan out back? Well, if you try to fence in the property the ACLU can sue on behalf of the nomadic drugheads by claiming that there is now an implied easement on your property allowing people to use an area our back as a car port, and you can't do anything about it even though you "own" the property.

That is why they screech so much about any removal from voting rolls and any attempt to get voters in the polls with actual ids. Also why they want elections digital--it is simply much easier to cheat and insert votes as needed that way.

    They start out working at left-wing nonprofits, get elected, and if they lose their elected position for some reason, they go right back to working for left-wing nonprofits.

    If they are important enough (like the Soros DA who was voted out of office), a lucrative nonprofit position is created for them, if necessary.

    Fun fact, many of those HOAs do not actually follow local or state law in all provisions and quite often they end up losing in court for claiming power above and beyond what contract law in a state allows. Plus massive due process problems in many of them relating to fines, requirements, etc.

    You "voted" to join when you bought in an area or development that has a HOA. It's like buying an apartment that has a condo board and owner regulations (they all do now). You buy, you're subject to the rules and by-laws. It's not optional.

    And while HOA and condo boards get a bad rap, they serve useful purposes in policing idiots and ensuring a calm and uniform look for the community. Nobody wants to live next to the loudmouth idiot blasting shit music while working on his rusted out Camaro sitting on the front lawn on cinder blocks. Without HOA, that's what you'll get.

    It's just general contract law. You basically sign a contract when you buy. If people could opt out of the HOA, then everyone would because they'd naturally want someone else to pay and do the work.

    In my experience, the HOA is easier to deal with that the loan land-use authorities.

    183 Ghost Taxes are akin to Slumlord Taxes that cropped up in my locale - Failure to maintain\modernize (in the GOV agents views, of course...), brings on abatements and levies against property owners to maintain\modernize\enhance their properties without any relief from the cost.

    It started with 10+ units\properties, but its eroded down to 4 (Seeing how having 3 would make my local councilmembers subject to their rules - 4 got them into a safe zone).

    186 First you legalize prostitution... then you require workers to except jobs to get them off welfare. Then you legalize brothels who offer women jobs... Germany IIRC.

    IIRC the full story on this one is a woman was laid off and German law requires you to apply to companies off of a list to get their version of unemployment.

    The list they gave this woman then included a legal brothel looking for workers.

    Now the FNM called the story false because of course there were other companies looking to hire in her area. But...that's one of those classic "This is false because I added a small bit to the story that is false even if the rest is true" type things

    In South Carolina last year a white girl was murdered by a multi-time, black felon. She was visiting some friends in Columbia, the house she was in was broken into, the man shot her dead.

    No one remembers this story.

    People remember the Charlotte story because of the video. The very clear video that, without question, establishes cold-blooded murder without remorse.

    Images are powerful things.

    Posted by: TheJamesMadison
    =======
    Contract law is not designed to be fair to all parties but usually results in asymmetric assignation of costs and benefits.

    Regarding HOAs, there should be clear state statutory guidance as to what is allowed and what is not with easy recourse to courts for disputes and mandatory due process protections for disputants versus the board.

    Want to be within a petty government backed by contracts, then you assume the constitutional and statutory limitations of a government.

    The land underneath your house was placed in the HOA by the developer before any concrete was ever poured.

    240 our current dues are a very reasonable 30 bucks/month.

    For a while, our HOA had a contract with Mutual of Omaha. We paid them, they paid the HOA. Fast forward a few years and a minority owned HOA took over and quickly got rid of the account. By the next month, they were losing my checks and threatening us.

    When my wife and I went hunting, I told my real estate agent "You can find the most perfect house that meets our needs and is 100k lower than what we are ready to spend. If there is an HOA do not waste our time."

    241 Before we moved, our city code nazi would drive up & down the alleys and stand in the bed of his truck to look over 6' privacy fences. Got a neighbor who had four tires (mounted on rims, not mosquitoe breeding pools) leaned up against his garage. Nice little ticket.

    A Karen wouldn't do that.

    I live in a small town and some of the residents have been here for generations. When I bought most were very welcoming. My neighbor that lives behind me told me there was only one rule, don't try to change things. We like it this way and presumably you do too or you wouldn't have bought here. Got it.

    well I did not take that too lightly.

    Posted by: polynikes

    Long line of states limiting the applicability of contracts due to various reasons by statute or by court decisions. What I am saying is you can have an HOA if you want but that does not mean that the state cannot set pretty stiff statutory and regulatory requirements to prevent HOA and property management abuses of residents.

    No less than states can regulate rental units and the conditions of leasing.

    HOAs have problems with turnout, election rules, and all the other assorted problems with local elections. And boards have a big friend--property management corporations that usually manage multiple different HOAs, have permanent legal staff, and other such things that an ordinary homeowner does not.

    Essentially HOAs are a public/private business but often with far less regulation due to the idea of contractual relationships. In reality, those contracts are often about as one sided as software click through contracts.

    Desalination... Santa Barbara is not connected to the Norcal water supply. SB built a desalination plant. Then there were a couple of years of good rainfall levels. The plant had to be operated to keep it functional which cost $$$. SSSSB sold the plant to the Saudis. Now SB is looking into building a desalination plant... again.
    Posted by: AZ deplorable moron at September 10, 2025 11:35 AM (EeepC)

    The way that worked out as I remember it when I lived there, SB built the desal plant during a 3-4 year drought, and the year it was completed, the drought broke with record rainfall. They shut down the plant since they didn't need water, and more importantly, they sold off all of the membrane filters/supplies to the Saudis in order to put cash into the city bank account.

    Then CA had another drought and SB spent more in adjusted dollars to re-equip and refurbish the plant than they'd originally spent to build it in the first place. And it was a 3-4 year timeline to get the plant rebuilt.

    Rinse/repeat. I think they're coming up on a 4th cycle of refurbish/shutting down, made even more expensive by CA shutting down the Diablo Canyon nuke plant and it's never been in full production.

    288 I am wondering about that "forever and ever because" contract that a new purchaser has to agree to. Most forced contracts like non-competes have a reasonable period of enforcement. I can see the edges of arguments for both sides, including the informal "AYFKM?" review
    Posted by: Kindltot

    State contract law varies tremendously from state to state--for example, Hawaii use to forbid contracts for an immoral purpose. And then you get a variation in judges within states settling concrete cases involving HOAs. Country judges are far more likely to tell HOAs to piss off especially when pestering neighbors of the newcoming HOA with preexisting use of property.

    Surburban judges might not rule that way using some sort of balancing act.

    Way back when, I spent some time with the state agency that dealt with HOAs in my state--their records of HOAs were frankly a mess ( I was looking into mandated service delivery agreements in local government which is how I stumbled across it).

    So in many states with a strong Chamber of Commerce/developer lobby, states do almost nothing to curb in HOA excesses--it is all on the individuals challenging their HOA in court.

    289 Sorry, its all fun and games hating on HOAs until the guy buys the house across the street from you and brings his 18-wheel truck home every night and parks it on the curb.

    303 A few months later I saw some guy walk out of her condo with a garbage bag and he asked me where the garbage goes. The retired lady was renting the place out as an AirBnB. The HOA rules specifically stated that any rental must be approved by the board and for at least six months.

    I didn’t mind at all ratting her out. Frankly put I don’t want people that I don’t know staying a couple of doors down from my personal residence.

    _

    Most co-ops and condos already had rules prohibiting short-term rentals and/or any tenants at all without board approval. But once AirBNB launched, every building quickly adopted them. Nobody wants unvetted randos moving in and out of apartments in their building.

    The anti-AirBNB rules have also been adopted in housing developments. People do not want endless streams of randos staying at properties next to them. In some cases, the land-use people got involved, as some of these AirBNBs were essentially commercial hotels operating in residential areas.

    304 The ghost tax exists in other forms. Where I live owner occupied residences pay much lower taxes vs investment properties or 2nd homes. And it applies whether the property is vacant or not.

    Meanwhile the city council is whining about lack of “affordable housing”. Uhm hey guys how about lowering property tax on rentals? Ya think that may increase affordability for renters? Or nah.

    It's like saying you want to buy a new car, but you want them to take out half the preinstalled components and not charge you b/c you'd rather do some of them your own way with your own parts.

    You obviously love your HOA. Does not mean that others do nor the general concept. Essentially you do not 'own' your property in the sense of the ancient freehold--what you do is submit to private regulation by a superior instead of a general government.

    Which is exactly like old feudal law was in Merrie Olde England. You could probably substitute property disputes between lord and tenant for today's HOA with just slight modifications.

    319 Allowing people to opt out of an HOA renders the HOA useless. You can’t have people contracting their own trash and sewer services, or security personnel or opt out of common area liability exposure, etc etc. Your choice is not to buy a house in an HOA community.
    Posted by: polynikes at September 10, 2025 12:13 PM (EYmYM)


    You are conflating city or net services with HOA rules. In a non-HOA the sewer, water and security is handled with local companies who own the infrastructure, or wiht the county. An HOA just puts another layer of bureacracy in the way. If the HOA owns the water and sewer then they are a utility district or co-op, and pretending to be a covenant is icing on the cake.

    On the other hand you seem to be trying to cast people who are arguing they have the right to landscape and use their personal land as they see fit without fighting with someone who neither pays the taxes or benefits from it as Sovereign Citizens or other type of lunatics, which I think damages your argument

    My son lives in an “apartment” in Charlotte. It’s really a 4 bedroom house in a subdivision that someone converted to a 10 bedroom. There are cars parked all over the place in front of the house. Someone ratted them out and the city came by and said only 6 people can live there because it’s a single family dwelling. Talk about giving them a break. There’s TJM’s laws and regulations. I’d be pissed if I lived across the street from that.

    All those properties come with a time bomb. Eventually mom and pop depart this plane of life and the new owners will find out they not able to live there or rent it to whom they choose. Builders do it because generally they can pack more density in such developments and it does not create the as many problems with packed schools, roads, etc.

    Different than 55+ apartments which were originally the focus of such.

Bears are pretty much only at night. Don't come over the crest of a hill at speed because there may be elk stretched out across the road.

    We did have a confrontation with the town--they wanted to broaden the road from two lanes to four. Lots of retired lawyers in the HOA community reared and found a legal restriction nearly a century old. Whew. So my experience has been positive.

    336 I live in an area with an HOA.

    They manage the trash collection for the subdivision. They have a much better contract with the trash company than what is offered by the city or available to an individual household.

    They also manage the landscaping of the common area - a small park which in former times would have been a responsibility of the city.

    These seem like proper functions of the HOA to me. The dues and expenses are low.

    This HOA bylaws are consistent with city ordinances and the management does not exceed them. Activist members of the HOA board ("the Karens") were driven out years ago.

    I am OK with how things are working now.

    337 The city slapped higher ‘affordability’ requirements on projects with 100 or more units, and construction workers on those buildings "will be guaranteed a minimum wage of $40 per hour."

    Did you catch that part about 100 or more apartments and higher wages? Because developers certainly did. "There’s an unmistakable trend across New York City," Bloomberg reported today, "Real-estate developers are seeking to construct buildings with exactly 99 units. No more, no less."

    The story continued: "In the past four quarters, 28 such permits were filed, more than double the total from the previous 16 years combined, according to city data analyzed by the Real Estate Board of New York, a lobbying group."

    The left hand appears to have five fingers. The one at the top is a thumb, I presume, but it doesn't seem to be opposed to the fingers, even if it is a little thicker and shorter.

    Yep. Tiered models of subscriptions though. I would ask NaClyDog.

    AI art and music model offerings are changing so fast right now that it takes someone dealing with them to know which is better, cheaper, faster.

    I think we get to all photo realistic 10-15 minute AI shorts pretty soon and available now if you are dealing with animated figures.

    Assuming scaling already planned is carried out, we might have total AI generated movie in under 5 years with minimal human input. Not the same as saying it would be a GOOD AI movie but the AI era is upon us.

    120 MP4, I should have added, the key to AI is crafting the prompts to the model, not technically programming anymore. If you think of visual AI as a way to google and create an image based on your input terms, then be able to fix things by additional prompts after the initial rendering is not quite right.

    Iterative process using the underlying data the model has been trained upon to generate an image or song.

    In music, I think Rick Beato on YT has demonstrated how he crafted an AI song and that might be illustrative enough for you.

    123 The only relatively good AI video I’ve (knowingly) seen is a fake trailer for a sixties Justice League, staring Gregory Peck as Batman, James Garner as Superman, and Yul Brynner as The Martian Manhunter.

    Most of the rest are only fun to watch in the sense that it’s fun to watch computer screwups. The only screwup in that video was choosing George Peppard as Captain Marvel. Peppard has always been too old to play Captain Marvel, even when he wasn’t.

    I read or heard somewhere that the tradition of sculpting or painting nude men with small members was supposed to be flattering; that, had the figure been sculpted/painted with larger "tackle," it would have implied that the subject was not very bright, and all of his life and mind centered around his sexual equipment. Conversely, a small member indicated the subject's high intelligence.

The warnings come as city officials brace for another year of traffic jams, fireworks, and noisy celebrations that have tested police and exasperated locals. CPD arrested 69 people during last year’s four-day weekend, including at least 19 for illegal gun possession.

    Small penis is from cold water, not fear! I presume it was a nod to Classical Greek statues, which had small penises because:

    This artistic choice was not an oversight but a deliberate representation of ideals such as self-control, rationality, and civilization, which were highly prized in Greek society.

    In contrast, large or erect penises were associated with lust, lack of restraint, and barbarism, often used to depict negative traits in figures like satyrs, fools, or enemies such as the Egyptians.

    The small penis thus served as a visual symbol of moral integrity and intellectual superiority, distinguishing heroic and divine figures from those considered morally deficient.

    Of course he got typed playing Nazis and Germans. He was German, but opposed the Nazis and fled Germany in '33. He only lived another year or so after Casablanca was released, or he might have wound up playing Rommel et al. after the war.

    199 I read or heard somewhere that the tradition of sculpting or painting nude men with small members was supposed to be flattering; that, had the figure been sculpted/painted with larger "tackle," it would have implied that the subject was not very bright, and all of his life and mind centered around his sexual equipment. Conversely, a small member indicated the subject's high intelligence.

    (Sounds like a theory a small-tackled man would come up with . . .)

Hep B is a sexually transmitted diseases and the mother has to be infested in order for transmission to occur. But in the interest of “equity” they were giving it to every newborn infant at birth. The “vaccine” also apparently included ingredients like aluminum which have other adverse health effects. Beyond this, they hid an entire peer reviewed credible study that show infants getting the Hep B “vaccine” had much worse health outcomes than those who did not receive it including negative impacts like lower immune function. The entire thing is just devious and evil. Go read the study they hid simply for the reason the authors and anyone agreeing were afraid they would be ostracized.

    AI isn't graphic design, it's its own thing. Digital art isn't always graphic design. Digital art can also be fine art. I've seen digital artists with ten times the feeling and understanding of classic art techniques than Duchamp's detestable "Fountain"sculpture.

    Something I'm interested in seeing is the fact that most AI videos can't do a full scene for a long period of time, it's smaller segments spliced together. Can a full movie be made like that? Like how Hitchcock filmed Rope with as few film reels as he possibly could, to let the scene go for as long as he could, just to say he could do it. I'm interested where the pioneers of AI vids take us.

    305 Something I'm interested in seeing is the fact that most AI videos can't do a full scene for a long period of time, it's smaller segments spliced together. Can a full movie be made like that? Like how Hitchcock filmed Rope with as few film reels as he possibly could, to let the scene go for as long as he could, just to say he could do it. I'm interested where the pioneers of AI vids take us.
    Posted by: LizLem

    There are two limits on AI--one is sheer computing power time--full blown audio and video takes a LOT of data processing and the second is training data. You have to have the model trained on visual and audio data in order to pull it out upon user demand.

    Photorealistic AI video is the highest tier of processing and data needs (and thus expense). That is why AI is first being widely deployed in songs (a lot of what is on TikTok and YT now is all AI songs perhaps with a human front for it). Less demanding task in both training data and processing needs.

    AI stills or short animated pieces are somewhere in between the photo realism video and music as far as data/processing needs.

    Special election failures are the candidates fault; most all of them listen to useless consultants and don't know how to do actual retail campaigning. A special election is all about have you walked enough streets, knocked on enough doors, and personally pitched yourself to enough local people and groups to convince them to turn out and vote for you. Since leftists still have devoted core groups, they seem to have an advantage in low turnout elections, but it can be beaten by a good candidate.

    and ALL special elections are low-turnout elections.

    Understanding art history, why art has evolved the way it has, and the main elements of good art and design (line, form, shape, color, contrast, etc) is super important. She needs those foundations and a good school will teach her how to do that. Without AI.

    But hating on AI is useless at this point. The artists of the future will use it as a tool. Learning how to prompt it to get the needed results is as important as what art it spits out. You cant get the right thing if you don't know what inputs to give it

    The Republican candidate got...40% of the vote that the Republican got in the general election and the Dem something like 80%.

    So yeah the issue is R voters didn't turn out. I assume because they didn't care about a special election because a cursory analysis didn't find anything particularly bad about the new R candidate.

    341 One of the Fed governors resigned earlier this year. The Heresy Financial guy says that what Trump really wants to do is stop paying interest on the bank reserves held at the Fed forcing the money to go into the bond market. All he needs is a majority of the governors (4 of 7 I think) instead of the whole FOMC which has 12 members.

    You financial guys can chime in but I think that would raise the price of bonds and drastically lower their interest rates allowing Trump to refinance the government debt in longer term with lower interest rates. Also the Fed would stop paying the billions in interest and that money will go to the Treasury instead.

    My answer to this is turn the GOP into a party that constantly advances the immediate financial interests of its voters (and leaners). But as a Goldberg or French would tell us "that's not conservative economics"

    One example, change the child deduction numbers to be more like what Hungary does - have 4 kids and pay no taxes. But structure it so there is no EITC or the like that pays you additional moneys it just zeroes out owed income taxes.

    Why? Conservatives pay taxes and have kids. Leftists either pay taxes and have few children (the AWFLs) or have lots of kids and no taxable income (the FSA)

    Yes and no. Don't depend on AI for mission critical (as in the plane goes down if AI is wrong) evaluations of data, coding, etc. But if a song line, AI singing, or a bad rhyme is a bit hinky in an AI song, then it is simply an error that might be glossed over just like hearing a live performance of musical artists versus the endless takes of a recorded session.

    Same for video--glitches occur but often go unnoticed in AI. Good enough so to speak.

    What I do think though is that Ai has a problem with models going insane over time when real world data conflicts with the training data responses.

    Thus, AI companies are simply retraining their models from scratch over and over again using original training data augmented by whatever additional data they can grab. But, you get a scaling problem in that the real data in some areas available to train the models is decreasing and the risk is that grabbing every bit of data on the net runs into the likelihood of grabbing data generated by AI models themselves.

    Special elections are a matter of turnout and candidates in the race. Use to be that GOP voters turned out in rain or shine. But, as the GOP coalition has broadened and become less attractive to the highly educated types, you get more voters that are not reliable in turnout.

    And they will not turn out for your standard GOPe schmoe that believes tax cuts for wealthy uber alles, tax hikes for plebes, corporate subsidies for locating in a place, and so on.

    You cannot win with Mitch McConnell type candidates for open seats anymore on in Trump's GOP. The newer GOP voters are transactional in nature--what are you going to do to represent them instead of fat cat donors. They want reform, not failure theater.

    392 A very long time ago, I used to subscribe to Photography magazine. At that time, they often solicited photographs on a monthly theme, and would post winning pictures and notable runners up.

    A big controversy among the readership was the submission of photoshopped images, either extensive modifications or using software to overlay multiple images into a composite. The consensus seemed to be coalescing to give computer enhancement its own category. As the magazine irrelevant to my interests, I dropped the subscription.

    AI and straight up computer generation of images entirely devoid of any human involvement beyond keywords pretty much makes the previous discussion null and void. I agree with the distinction of graphic design is a separate process from artistry, whether by use of pigments or by capturing images through lenses.

    The Morning Report — 9/10/25

    BetterFetter.jpg

    Good morning kids. Midweek and there are quite a few things happening, beyond the total news blackout, or twisting of the narrative to preserve protect and defend the status of the subhuman Democrat-spawned savage as the real victim of his butchery of an innocent young woman on a Charlotte tramcar.

    First we have the State of Israel swatting the radioactive hornet's nest of Hamas in Qatar.

    In a post on Truth Social, Trump pointed out that “unilaterally bombing” Qatar, which has worked “very hard and bravely” to try to broker peace between Israel and Hamas, did “not advance” the goals of the United States or Israel. Trump also expressed that while “eliminating Hamas” was a “worthy goal,” Qatar is a strong ally to the U.S., and he felt “very badly” about the strike.

    “This morning, the Trump Administration was notified by the United States Military that Israel was attacking Hamas which, very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the Capital of Qatar,” Trump said. “This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals.”

    Define the word "ally" for us Mr. President. Qatar is an ally of convenience, nothing more or less. As an Islamic nation first and foremost they culturally and philosophically do not share our values or ultimate geopolitical aims. About the best you can say about the Qataris is that they allow Hamas to be in their midst because it prevents Hamas from slitting their throats. And that's giving them too much of the benefit of the doubt. Yes, we have a huge military presence in that country but perhaps, all things considered we should rethink that. Oh well, it is what it is. At the end of the day, even if Israel were to utterly decimate the ranks of Hamas, the nature of Islam dictates that some other entity will emerge to take its place, perhaps under a different name but the 1500 year and counting quest to slit the throats of every Jew on the planet will go on. Even if Trump knows this, I suppose it is a huge domestic and international third rail he'd be stepping on if he were to utter that undeniable truth, and that's giving him the benefit of the doubt.


    Elsewhere in the world, the Ukraine bloodletting now has the potential to get completely out of hand.

    Poland shot down drones that entered its airspace during a widespread Russian attack in western Ukraine on Wednesday, with the NATO member calling the incursion “an act of aggression.”

    Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that he was in “constant contact” with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Tusk has called for an emergency meeting of the council of ministers at 8 a.m., a government spokesman said.

    Poland’s military command said drones repeatedly violated Polish airspace during the Russian attack across the border, in western Ukraine, but that operations against these violations had now concluded.. .

    . . .“Some of the drones that entered our airspace were shot down. Searches and efforts to locate the potential crash sites of these objects are ongoing,” it said in a statement.

    It urged people to stay at home, naming the regions of Podlaskie, Mazowieckie, and Lublin as most at risk, adding: “This is an act of aggression that posed a real threat to the safety of our citizens.”

    . . .NATO has yet to comment on the incident. Since the war started in 2022, there have been several incidents of Russian drones entering the airspace of states bordering Ukraine, including Poland and Romania, but they have so far avoided shooting them down. Officials have cited the physical danger that such actions could cause and a desire to avoid an escalation in tensions between Russia and NATO.


    Back here in the US-of-A, I posted a poll yesterday by our good friends at the estimable Heartland Institute in conjunction with Rasmussen about the sentiments of young voters that is disturbing in their attitudes about the direction of the nation.

    And the beat goes on as Heartland/Rasmussen has released a couple more polls that are painting a rather frightening picture of the future political landscape of America. One of them is again in the lead.

    Heartland/Rasmussen Poll: 59% of Young Voters Support Income Caps, 40% Support Penalties for Free Speech, and 59% Support UN Authority Over the United States

    There are polls and then there are polls as we know all too well. Over the past few months, I have also reported on polls that seem to indicate just the opposite; a very significant shift of the youth vote away from the Left and and heavily towards the Right if not towards Trump/MAGA him/itself.

    The contradictory nature of these polls is something that both CBD and I will raise with our very special guest, Jim Lakely the Comms director at Heartland on the upcoming podcast that will post a bit later today, so stay tuned for that.

    While we're on that subject, we also have the Democrat Party itself seemingly tearing itself apart over the rise of this horrid scumbag Zohran Mamdani likely to be installed into Gracie Mansion as NYC's next mayor largely with the votes (legit and otherwise) of a sizable number of the city's youth, far too many of the self-gassing apostate Jews-by birth only and other fools, degenerates and the usual gang of idiots aka registered Democrats. This despite some pretty loud protests from very well-known Democrat pollsters, pols and pundits who see him and see disaster for their party. But, do they have it wrong? Is in-your-face socialism/Communism the future unmasked face of the Democrat Party?

    On that note, John Fetterman, the improbable and at first glance laughable Democrat senator from Pennsylvania who we once derided as Lumpy, continues to pleasantly surprise me with his rationality and sanity in the face of the vile insanity of the positions that his party has embraced not just of late but historically in its unslakable thirst for absolute power and control.

    First was his full-throated and unwavering support of the state of Israel and unequivocal condemnation of Hamas in the wake of the latter's terrorist mass wave assault and subsequent dark age savagery across southern Israel on 10/7. His words were the diametric opposite of much of the rest of his party, save for its leadership who at best knew that they had to fake even a tepid support of Israel to preserve the Jewish voting bloc and stave off the rusty hacksaws of the Hamas-niks of the "SQUAD" and their ilk.

    And with that, I give you this latest gem from the Junior Senator from Pennsylvania:


    Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized Democrats who have been warming up to and embracing socialism while dismissing capitalism, describing them as “morons.”

    . . . “Senator, there’s a Gallup poll that was released that 42 percent of Democrat voters view capitalism favorably, while 66 percent of Democrat voters view socialism favorably. Do you think that’s a messaging issue for Democrats?” a reporter asked.

    “Oh, that’s a great, it’s a great question,” Fetterman responded. “I literally was in a former communist nation, and I asked that. I said, ‘Some people in my party, some of the lefties are talking about socialism now. What do you think?’ And he’s like, ‘That’s the worst thing ever. You would never want to live here, I’ve lived through that kind of a thing. You’re going to need a reality check if you ever adopt any of those things. You know, like, you are morons. It’s like, it was a nightmare for us, and now we are a free market nation.’ It was Croatia.”

    . . . Fetterman continued to note that people in Croatia were “mystified” why Americans are “even having that conversation in our nation.”

    Obviously not "morons" in the Ace of Spades HQ sense of the word but literal morons.

    In a conversation with a friend of mine about the polls, while not dismissing them entirely, he did say that when more of Trump's economic policies kick in, many of these youthful poll respondents might have a very different view of things as their personal situations improve along with the rest of the nation.

    It's a fair point, but that said the constant media and cultural drumbeat of "capitalism and Trump evil" along with at least 3 generations of propagandizing from Pre-K through Post-Grad has done quite a bit of damage and warped many minds along the way, as we are all too painfully aware.

    As I've said, job and unemployment numbers are currently false here b/c of the way feds were let go (aka, still not actually considered "unemployed" yet, even now) and even with them not in the number, VA is worse than last year...especially in NoVa...and jobs determine most elections...an energized NoVa sweeps VA for Ds...an energized rest of VA (which is not having the jobs problem) sweeps VA for Rs...we only have the former right now...

    But I'd be remiss if I didn't say I feel extreme alarm at this. If these answered questions, and the % of young people are really represented here as a whole, we have big problems coming our way in the next few short decades. It's a Kiss America Goodbye foreboding.

    49 Officials have cited the physical danger that such actions could cause and a desire to avoid an escalation in tensions between Russia and NATO.

    The longer this war drags on, the more risk that something like this will lead to a NATO member being attacked, accidentally, intentionally, or a false flag.

    I still think Trump should just wash his hands of it all, and let the EU deal with this. They obviously don’t want it to end as much as Zelenskyy, so let them deal with the consequences.

    If they don’t want to give up the land and sign the peace agreement to end it, more power to them.

    But let’s leave us out of their fight,
    I’m tired of the games from all sides of this avoidable war.

    85 I presume that Trump's criticism of the Israeli attack on Hamas in Qatar, and his talking up of Qatar, is disingenuous.

    Undoubtedly, the US really needs the large military base we have there, so that's why he said what he said. There will be no sanctions against Israel for it, and I have to wonder just how "unilateral" the attack really was.

    Seems like I've heard Qatar has been sponsoring terrorism over the years. Trump knows they're not nice guys, but his whole career has been based on the recognition that to be successful, you often have to deal effectively with people you don't like.

    Naomi Epps Best, a former marriage and family therapy graduate student at Santa Clara University (SCU), has spent the last few months reporting on the astonishing high degree of ideological capture within her field of study at the school.

    “Just confirmed: Santa Clara U trains therapy students to give ‘gender-affirming’ counseling to kids as young as 5 at a state-funded clinic that hands out free binders and does affirming garment fittings with no parent consent required,” wrote Best on X.

    Nah. This won't be the vehicle to kill Humphrey's.

    Cook's case clearly doesn't apply. Trump's firing of her is within the context of the written statute that established the Federal Reserve that gives the president power to fire governors for cause.

    There's another case, a fired FTC commissioner, Rebecca Slaughter, who's suing to keep her job. Humphrey's Executor was decided based on FDR's firing of an FTC commissioner in the 30s. It's the perfect vehicle.

    The DC Circuit will probably kill the Cook injunction within a day or so.

    156 "Is in-your-face socialism/Communism the future unmasked face of the Democrat Party?"

    For me, yes, that is where the Democrat Party is headed. There is a case that can be made that the Squad is the tip of the spear of a generational and ideological shift in the Democrat Party. The leadership is feeble and essentially, at its core, is still using an ossified 1960s issues playbook, all be it with bolted on Socialist/Communist sops to this radical younger generation. The Democrat leadership is ripe to be overthrown by an impatient younger generation that are Socialist/Communist to the core and have every intention of filling that power vacuum.

    I lean towards the notion this is a done situation. This raises serious concerns about how this negatively impacts the core tenets that make the USA the USA. The bigger question is are they the seed of something that will take hold and then take over or are they a bunch of noisy radicals who are so distasteful that will never gain widespread acceptance. Zohran Mamdani is something of test case that puts direct executive governance control in the hands of the bastards. The visceral reactions he raises reflects this larger dynamic.

    One reason (I think) why this war goes on is because it's a pretty nifty proving ground for new weapons and tactics. The massive drone strike Ukraine pulled off (with likely US help) on Russia's strategic bomber and recon aircraft fleets was... impressive and unique. It woke up a lot of people to a huge hole in defensive postures at our own military installations.

    Same for the unmanned surface vessels and submarines Ukraine's been using with good success at sinking a significant portion of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

    However, it can be noted that she won by a good bit less than 2 years ago. She won 85% of the vote against one candidate in 2023 and only got 70% of the vote against four other candidates.

    However, she won the last general with 73% of the vote, so I don't expect her to lose the general this year.

Many of these kids promptly vanished into a bureaucratic black hole.

    250 Houthis have taken over the country of Yemen. They're supported by Iran. Yemen is the shithole of the Arabian Peninsula... which is saying a lot.
    Posted by: Martini Farmer

    No they haven't. Yemen used to be two countries in the Cold War, N. Yemen and S. Yemen. Houthis seized power in N. Yemen but a shell civilian government still exists there. Basically Yemen is tribal and the Houthis are a Shiite tribe while most of the rest of the tribes in Yemen are Sunni.

    Houthis were nuisance goat rapers in the wilderness until Iran armed them to act as a catspaw to launch missiles at the Saudis and later to harass traffic in the Red Sea. Destroy Iran's ability to supply the Houthis (sea and air) and you destroy any real power the Houthis have to bother anyone other than goats.

    254 "The US Transhumanist Party expressly supports the rights of Artificial General Intelligence entities that are sentient and/or lucid. The Transhumanist Bill of Rights Version 3.0 recognizes 7 levels of sentience and requires entities to exist at level 5 or higher to be considered as having rights. At level 5, the main criterion is that the entity be "lucid", meaning the entity is "meta-aware", or aware of its own awareness."

    Her life mattered. She will be immortalized.

    Yes, it did. And no, I doubt it. The GOP could shove this so far down Dems' throats in the midterms that the entire party would be vaporized. . .but that would mean standing up against charges of 'racism' and actually wanting to win, which, of course, they do not.

    She would be alive today if not for the incompetent judge in Charlotte, NC, who freed a career criminal who then took Iryna’s life.

    Std modern day libertarianism---open borders so open flow of workers, open flow of capital, and open flow of goods. Corporate agenda basically with little relation to our economic experiences post WWII.

    Thus utopian with little relation to facts on the ground. Basically theory dictates facts fallacy because of a basic presupposition of 'good' and 'rational' human nature.

    Like communism, theory comes first and human experiences not in accordance to theory either is dismissed as not valid or the true theory has never been applied. There is a reason that you cannot point to any true 'libertarian' country--the closest you can get is places where government does not exist. Same is technically true of communism but if you consider communism as a way for a new elite to replace the old one, then you end up in despotism like with Stalin or oppression by an corrupt oligarchy misnamed as a democratic republic (E. Germany for example)

    Posted by: Ordinary American

    I am sympathetic to libertarianism and think it does work on an individual to individual level corrected by experiences but it simply does not scale up well to the level of nations. That is why I prefer small is beautiful in relations to society and government. Government policy should be driven by the lowest level possible for a task. You might even call this Madisonian (leaving aside Fed 46) as a compound republic.

    Then, and this is where I depart from principles into pragmatism---there has to be some overarching dispute resolution mechanisms between the levels of government to prevent small tyrannies (such as a small HOA run amuck or that ordinary citizens are terrorized by criminal thugs in Charlotte NC riding the rail).

    This comes from my recognition that humanity is not basically good and we are made up of crooked timber so any political system has to recognize that reality with circuit breakers. Aka If men were angels, no government would be necessary.

    Partnership(s) to build neighborhood/micro hospitals with holding company(ies) that generates revenue through fee-for-service billing from patients, insurance reimbursements, and strategic partnerships with local hospitals and health systems around the country.

    333 Regarding the Houston imam boycotting Muslim stores that don’t operate as he sees fit-

    If:

    1) he can claim the authority of the Muslim prophet by simply declaring himself an imam, with no credentialing and while remaining answerable to no ecclesiastical hierarchy; and

    2) he can interpret Islam in such a way that he can use his self-proclaimed authority to demand that his co-religionists stop their lawful productive activities which they rely upon to serve their communities and feed their families; and

    3) his co-religionists cling to the tenets of that religion such that they are either duty-bound to do as he says and hence diminish their opportunities, or otherwise be seen as apostates in their own community…

    …then what’s the problem?

    As he says in the video, “This is America…” He’s not hassling Jews, Catholics, Protestants, or atheists, or anyone else but his co-religionists. The store owners can choose.

    To them, I’d quote the words of a famous fictional Crusader, ”Choose wisely.”

    334 Fetterman is a classic Union Democrat. Knows that the company is trying to screw the working man, but with the Union, it can be taken care of. In the 30's and 40's, unions were definitely Socialist/Communist in philosophy, but by the mid-50's the US unions had figured out that the way to play the game was to play a 3 corner game -company, union, government - rather than the obvious failures of far-left governments which had to.much power and screwed everyone.
    That describes Fetterman. Don't mistake his support in these areas for a switch to libertarian/conservative views. He's still a big government guy.

    • Apple has announced its new phones: The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, and the iPhone Air. (Tom's Hardware)

      These start at eight times the price of my Moto G14 from last year, and with the 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max go up to 21 times the price - ranging from very expensive to painfully expensive.

      The iPhone 17 and iPhone Air feature the new six-core A19 chip, while the Pro and Pro Max feature the new six-core A19 Pro chip.

      Yeah, Apple is really phoning it in with this announcement.

    It is indeed:

    I wrote "Englishman in New York" for a friend of mine who moved from London to New York in his early seventies to a small rented apartment in the Bowery at a time in his life when most people have settled down forever. He once told me over dinner that he looked forward to receiving his naturalization papers so that he could commit a crime and not be deported. "What kind of crime?" I asked anxiously. "Oh, something glamorous, non-violent, with a dash of style" he replied. "Crime is so rarely glamorous these days."

    Windows 11 isn’t too bad setting up.
    You should probably go ahead and sign up for a Microsoft account before you do. It will ask for that as soon as you connect it to WiFi during the setup process.

    And opt out of everything you can, and don’t want or need, during setup - like Office 365, Xbox Gaming, One Drive, and all the stuff about sending Microsoft information so it can make Windows better (telemetry and bug/crash reports).

    It will also make Edge the default browser until you install another one and choose it as default.

    I haven’t installed it since AI & CoPilot were introduced so I don’t know if you can opt out of it.

    I liked my 5S for years until the battery died and expanded.

    I loved my 4S more, that was my favorite I’ve ever had. Had the glass back with the slim metal ring around the phone.

    That one got completely bricked during an iOS update about a year or two after I got it.
    Which is how I ended up with a 5S.

    I think you can set up a local user account that isn't tied to a MS account, and then log in with ".\" before your username. I don't know how, though. Easier to just make a burner gmail account with fake info and then make an MS "account" tied to that instead.

    48 "Specifically that yes they license the software but only the software, not, for example, the user interface that allows you to use the software."

    I think the distinction here is GUIs are protected by copyrights while the computer code (The methods and algorithms) cannot be protected by a copyright and are only protected by licensing agreements. As I understand the EU resale law computer licenses can be resold and are silent about the copyright aspect. At first glance, the distinction between computer code and GUIs seems to be a distinction without difference. However, when the distinct legal protections are factored in the argument Microsoft is making effectively, yes, you can resell the license but you cannot resell the GUI as it violates the copyright protections.

    The only time I bought a "flagship" phone was back in the 90s, when I bought a Motorola StarTAC. It was a business expense and very much met my convenience needs at the time. Size mattered.

    I still business-expense my phone purchases but I have never found the need to buy a phone for more than $180-250. Still very happy with my 3-4 year old unlocked Samsung Galaxy A52, purchased from Amazon.

    And I own no Apple products.

    71 Perpetual licenses are or anything but perpetual and software companies have sly and interesting ways to extinguish them. Photoshop CS6 was purchased with a perpetual license with a restriction that it could only have so many active instances. This was not a problem as long as Adobe provided a method to deactivate instances. Somewhere along the line they quietly got rid of the deactivation functionality and when I went to install my Photoshop on my new PC I hit that limit and soon discovered I had no way to fix matters. Instantly my perpetual license died.

    I highly suspect the message you received is more or less a bug. Initially, the extension was supposed to cost consumers $30 per year and then they backpedaled and came up with a different route that involves $0. I'm guessing the message you received was never updated to reflect that change. I guess we'll have to wait until your bank account is drained before we find out.

    Used to be you had a 16” screen with a few inches of bezel all around so the laptop was huge.

    Now my 16” screen fits in a chassis that’s about 14” wide.

I justified that with the understanding that I'm I'm always going to have a phone and hence the phone handcuffs wasn't that big a deal.

    Prior to this phone I've always bought, used or cheap phones and got along just fine. I can say having this fancy ass phone It's a whole different experience and I think it's ruined my ability to ever go back to my cheap phone world.

    I can now see why people whose primary computing device is a mobile phone are more than willing to pay lots of money for them. My value proposition is quite different since my primary device is still a PC and remarkably I don't think twice about having extremely nice PCs. Your mileage will vary.

    You and I are in the same usage bucket. My usage boils down to using the phone in the car (music, radio type stuff, maps), reading AOS, texting, and phone. In that order. The phone is a supplementary device to my other computing needs.

    I will take a wild ass guess here, but when we add up to total cost of all your other devices, they're way more than $1,500. I'm in the same boat it's has that. So yes, if I was down to one device maybe two, one of those foldables would be interesting. Of course that's never going to happen around my house because having less than 300 devices is a sin.

    A rough ballpark for all of them combined is around $3500, so yeah, considerably cheaper.

    116 Fetterman is a classic Union Democrat. Knows that the company is trying to screw the working man, but with the Union, it can be taken care of. In the 30's and 40's, unions were definitely Socialist/Communist in philosophy, but by the mid-50's the US unions had figured out that the way to play the game was to play a 3 corner game -company, union, government - rather than the obvious failures of far-left governments which had to.much power and screwed everyone.
    That describes Fetterman. Don't mistake his support in these areas for a switch to libertarian/conservative views. He's still a big government guy.

    Howdy Hordelings! Surprise - I am now your Tuesday ONT host! This night became vacant when scampydog decided to go chase mailmen instead of hosting ONTs. So I decided to move from Mondays to Tuesdays (along with Sundays and Thursdays).
    EDIT: Mondays are currently Under Construction, as CBD noted last night.

    Anyway, here's a bonus track from the mystery click artist. Opening track to their only album, released in 1989.

    Feel Good Story

    29-yo Becomes First Woman to Cross U.S. on a Skateboard–Honoring Stepfather Whose Ashes Were Carried in a Necklace

    doof-Skateboarder-Brooke-Johnson.jpg

    The stepfather who always believed in her was with her at the end, as his ashes rested inside her necklace while she crossed the finish line.

    Brooke Johnson had just become the first woman to cross the United States on a skateboard—a record-setting 3,226-mile journey that began in Santa Monica, California and ended when she walked into the Atlantic Ocean at Virginia Beach after 119 days on the road.

    The 29-year-old lifted her skateboard over her head and couldn’t help but think about Roger, the man who made it all happen—even though he was only there in spirit.

    Late in his life, Brooke’s stepfather broke his C5 vertebrae and became a quadriplegic. His health continued to decline until he passed away last year.

    As time was running out, stepfather and daughter often talked about Brooke’s dream of cross-country skateboarding, and she planned to push him across the finish line in a wheelchair.

    Roger never once doubted that she’d make it.

    The Opposite of a Feel Good Story

    Friends Take Turns Shooting Each Other in the Head, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

    A Texas man has been charged with murder following a game in which he and his friend took turns shooting each other in the head with rifles while wearing Kevlar helmets.

    On 17 August, good friends Sean O’Donnell (37) and Aaron Prout (34) were hanging out in the former’s home when they decided to play a very stupid and dangerous game – taking turns shooting each other in the head with a rifle while wearing a Kevlar helmet for protection. Kevlar helmets are used by modern soldiers because they are known to whithstand heavy impacts, but they are not completely bulletproof. In this particular case, the two friends, who had been drinking, were reportedly holding the Kevlar helmet above their heads while the other tried to aim at it with a rifle. All it took was for one of them to miss their shot by a few millimeters to turn their friendly game into a tragedy.

    “Hard to believe two so-called friends would take turns shooting at each other wearing a Kevlar helmet, inside a house in a residential neighbourhood, while using a rifle,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez wrote about the incident on X.

    Check out the whole story. News coverage video clip at the link.

    It SHOULD go without saying - don't mix guns and booze, and don't shoot at your buddy.

    Yuck!

    Reusable water bottles are a "breeding ground" for strep and fecal bacteria, study warns

    doof-water-bottle_reusable_bacteria.jpg

    Carrying a reusable water bottle is a smart habit. It saves money. It cuts down on single-use plastic. It keeps you hydrated. There’s a catch, though.

    Many of us don’t clean our bottles nearly as well or as often as we think we do, and the germs that hitch a ride on our hands, rims, and lids can stick around.

    ***

    A study on the campus of Purdue University put everyday bottles under the microscope to see how clean they really are and which habits help or hurt. The takeaway is a reality check with simple fixes that anyone can put into practice.

    ***

    The research team kept the question simple: “How clean are the bottles that students actually use all day?”

    To get real-world answers, they collected 90 bottles directly from students. They asked owners how they used and cleaned their bottles, then tested the bottles in two ways.

    First, they swabbed the outer surfaces using a rapid hygiene test called ATP that lights up when organic residue remains. This signal is widely used in food safety as a quick screen for whether a surface is truly clean after washing.

    Second, they rinsed the insides and counted bacteria clinging to water-contact surfaces. They measured common water-loving bacteria and checked for coliforms, an indicator group that can signal when conditions could support more concerning contamination.

    Read the whole thing to get the specifics.

    Army veteran from Vermont gifted free tractor for maple syrup operation

    The Kubota compact tractor was given free to a Vermont maple syrup producer by a special program honoring military veterans who now work in agriculture.

    ***

    According to the website of Wild Woods Maple, Niles served the U.S. Army for more than 25 years and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. The website says he was also an instructor at the Army Mountain Warfare School in Jericho. After he retired, Niles and his wife, Katie, started Wild Woods Maple and have been growing their family business ever since.

    Wild Woods Maple recently earned bragging rights by winning a pair of awards in the 2025 Vermont Maple Festival in St. Albans. According to a May 4 Facebook post from the Vermont Maple Festival, Wild Woods Maple took home blue ribbons for "Best of Class" and "Best of Show" for their amber rich syrup.

    The Federal Reserve is among the foremost drivers of inequality in America.

    By failing to deliver on its inflation mandate, the Fed allowed class and generational disparities to grow worse, expanding the divide between asset-owners and lower-income Americans.

    76 Lincolntf I of course have no specific info but the context is that Russian drones have used Polish airspace many times the last 3 years when attacking targets in eastern Ukraine. This time? Who knows. Maybe some "went stupid" for some reason (though I haven't seen much info indicating that EW has been successful on these) and wandered off course.

    Many russkis are also convinced some Uke drones did the same thing in reverse, ducking into Baltic airspace before turning east to hit targets close to the border up north.

    What's distinctive this time is interception by Polish/NATO aircraft.

    You can cook with real maple syrup. Baked beans, e.g.

    I find your hatred of Amber Gold to be a little confusing. Obviously, this hatred stems from your mother giving up the Log Cabin in the metal container when you were a kid and wouldn't even buy Mrs. Butterworth's, just whatever cheap-o watered sugar stuff was on sale.

    You need a maple syrup intervention.

Turks are on some weird jag WRT Israel, but remain bitter rivals and enemies of the Iranian mullahs. Public statements condemning this/that in the eastern Arab world, especially anything connected to Israel, require standard filtering. Saudis' #1 enemy is a tie between Iranian regime and Qatar and their Brotherhood pets. All these countries "agree" on almost nothing, and have interlocking/overlapping sets of allies and foes.

    111 One of the most hilariously stupid changes made was when maple syrup grades went from (as I recall) two levels of Grade A, and then Grade B, to ..... well, I've never bothered to learn the new system. I just get the darkest version available, since that will be Grade B, or close. Much more/better flavor. Never understood why Grade A was more expensive (I mean I know higher production cost, but for the consumer, made now sense).

    yeah, so Turkey sees itself as the natural regional hegemon and wants to reconstitute the old empire in some way. It is a force to be reckoned with and should not be pissed off especially because attacking Turkey is going to be an article 5 offense.
    Iran was intended to be the country we backed for regional hegemon before the revolution because they are that good.

    172 Maple syrup bottle handles are just a throwback to the original packaging. They started by using ceramic jugs (which of course had a jug handle). Eventually, they switched over to hand soldered tins. That was all before they were shelf stable, so the syrup wasn't being sold. It was being stored for personal use.

    What WAS being sold during this time (1800's) was hard sugar (candy). That was because, no refrigeration available or needed.

    The bottle handles are nothing more than a nostalgia reference to the original ceramic jugs.

    Those two facts are why it's getting airplay on alternative media NOW, actually forcing the 'real' media to somehow make excuses and to blame white racists for even bringing it up in the first place/local news story. People are just sick and tired of the two-tiered double-standard reporting.

    As has been said, reverse the races in this story. How many cities would have already gone up in flames?

    I don't use it much directly on any of the Big 3: Pancakes/waffles/French toast. When I do use it, I find I use less syrup when it's real than when it's fake, too. But I do cook with it. A splash goes great in oatmeal, as another example. It's real basic food. A sugar maple tree's sap boiled down and strained. Pretty damn basic. And once a bottle is opened, pretty much lasts forever in the fridge.

    Real Amber Brown is definitely worth the money.

    223 Yes was a weird band. They broke up, then created a new band called Cinema, with Trevor Rabin replacing Steve Howe on guitar. But halfway through recording what would become 90125, Jon Anderson came back, and they decided to go back to calling themselves Yes. In some ways I prefer the Rabin Yes, 90125 and Big Generator.

    All in all, a lot of tremendously talented musicians were part of Yes.

    227 I was reading up on the Scoville Scale for measuring the hotness of chili peppers. It makes no sense to me. I think a sliding scale, 0-9, would be better. 0 is your garden variety bell pepper. 9 is "Pepper X".

    228 To me there's a point of difference between not caring about the peasants so they could get more $, and actually intending to kill the peasants. Both should lead to removal, but it's kind of like the difference between Imperial Germany and Nazi Germany. And yes, I realize that the Imperial Germans weren't any worse or better than the British or French in WW1 despite the victor written history and wartime propaganda. WW2 was a different story.

    btw, for those unaware, Pulte is the HUD Secretary, who exposed the Fraud perpetrated by Didn't Earn It hire Lisa Cook.

    I assume Pulte asked the President to get Bessent to help oust lisa cook, or something.

    301 Also, as a Vermonter, please allow me to pontificate on maple syrup.

    Until about 10 -15 years ago, pure syrup was graded from "Grade A Fancy" to "Grade B". The rich flatlanders from NY, CT and MA always snatched up the Grade A stuff, but didn't know that the grading wasn't about quality, it was about color. Grade A is damn near colorless. Grade B is good and dark. Grade A is sweet, but with very little 'maple' flavor. Grade B is sweet but with lots more earthy maple flavor. Nobody I knew ever bought Grade A. Grade B is where it's at and always has been

    Nowadays there's no A or B. Just ignore the light colored stuff and go for dark robust or whatever it's called now.

    That goes for you too, CBD

    Do you regularly have fire ants around for general purposes? Just a couple of mounds in the back yard. They showed up on their own uninvited, but since I didn't take steps to have them removed right away, I think they have squatters rights now.
    Did you shoot the ants out of a potato type gun? I went to the mound and scooped a few shovelfuls into an empty Amazon box, which I then dumped on/near the flames.
    Or perhaps you had them already in a hose and just opened a nozzle and they flew out like the flow of water? Nope, just repeated that Amazon box thing a few times.
    If they had extinguished the fire did you expect them to grow in size and power? Nope. I expected them to go back to their ant mound and maybe go get a couple of beers when their shift was over.
    Would they consider you friend or foe after your attempt to use them as a fire extinguisher? I was expecting them to consider me a fire victim, or maybe the just dumbass who grabbed the non dairy creamer instead of the baking soda when he got a grease fire on the range.

    I don't know if I should've called it "fossil" or "fossilized record of biological activity". That last link I posted has a link to the actual paper in a .pdf form. This is the relevant quote from that:

    Poppy seeds and leopard spots co-occur with organic carbon in ferric-iron poor mudstones but are absent in ferric iron-rich mudstones and conglomerates that lack organic matter (Fig. 1C). These relationships indicate the vivianite and greigite in these features formed by reaction between organic matter, oxidized iron, and sulfate; geological context and petrography indicate these reactions occurred at low temperatures. On Earth, such organic matter mediated mineral forming reactions are often driven by, or are closely associated with, microbial respiration of organic matter [e.g., 5], and models of the reaction chemistry that formed these features are consistent with microbially mediated process [6]. These properties mark poppy seeds and leopard spots as potential biosignatures. Analysis of the core sample collected from this unit using high-sensitivity instrumentation on Earth will enable tests to assess the biogenicity of the minerals, organics, and textures it contains.

    I'm watching the Boston primary election results come in and I'm feeling dread.

    Michelle Wu pulling away with close to 70% of the vote is a harsh reality.

    As a conservative woman, wife and mother in Massachusetts, approaching 50 years old, my knowledge about politics, policy and corruption weighs on me daily, inspiring me to work harder to share truth and shed light on things hidden. But sometimes, it's hard to stay motivated.

    I don't want a far right state. I don't want a far left state. I want compromise. With every day that passes, I feel our state moving further and further away from the one I was born into. The values of family and community being dismantled with each legislative session. The wasteful misappropriation of our tax dollars on things none of us want.

    As a mother, I'm watching my children struggle to buy a home, even after they did everything we were told they needed to do. I am so worried for their futures...

    414 In the "made it bark" department, today I messed with a little old Iron Horse one cylinder 4-cycle engine. They were commonly used as washing machine engines before rural electrification, and had kick starters. This one is equipped with a rope cup for a rope starter. Bore stroke about 2" by 1 1/2", at a guess. I tore it right down, took the valves out, refaced them on the lathe, and lapped them into their seats with compound. Piston and rings were good; did not mess with them. Connecting rod was loose on the journal, so I filed the bearing cap a little, and got rid of the slack. Adjusted tappet clearance by grinding the ends of the valve stems. Cleaned the ignition points. Sprayed a little brake cleaner into the spark plug hole, and put a wad of scotchbrite soaked in brake cleaner in the intake port. Put it on the ground and set a foot on it. Pulled the starter rope. Pop, pop! Wrapped the rope around the cup, and pulled again. Poppity, poppity, pop, pop, pop. It ran for a second or two, and picked up speed until it used all the fuel provided. I won! Got to hear it bark.

    I am going to fit it with a weed-eater carb, and see if it can be made to propel a bike. Engine is 80 years old.

    Something else I stumbled on today that I'm geeking out over:
    https://tinyurl.com/2y8ot342

    Some Krauts have a ring laser gyro, a Sagnac interferometer, acting an independent measure of earth's rotation and axis movement (precession and nutation).

    They increased the precision of this type of device by 2 orders of magnitude, getting to the level of the high precision astrometric methods used now.

    This is quite an advance. It gives an independent measure of the earth's rotation and polar motion independent of astronomical observations.

    419 315 Scion ended all sales in 2016. A mostly failed experiment by Toyota to attract a younger market.

    What was interesting is that most Scions were just rebadged Japanese domestic market Toyotas that weren't sold here. You could get the Japanese badges for the xB which had a different name there and they fit perfect in the recess spaces. So I guess another marketing whiz thing. Take something, say "hey kids, this is for YOU!" without changing anything and see if they buy into it.

    If those Krauts can squeeze and extra order of magnitude of precision out of that system, it will be able to detect fucking General Relativistic effects, geodetic precession and frame-dragging, of the earth's rotation.

    That Sagnac rig will tell what the earth did relative to "its own inertial" axes, and the astronomical observations tell what it did relative to a set of fixed axes (well, almost, at least over time scales of hundreds of years). The difference will show those subtle GR effects.

    I have a few DVD players around. I use the BluRay mostly. It plays the old DVDs fine. Mostly. Cox Communications decided to do some maintenance so no streaming for an hour or two. Decided to watch Star Trek:TOS on DVD. I've had them for a while. 15 years or so. Did not work. So, I tried another, older DVD player. Didn't work. Tried DVD player on workstation. No worky. None of the DVDs of season 1 for ST:TOS worked. I'm guessing Paramount used the same shoddy DVD maker as Warner Bros. I don't know that for sure, but it seems that way. I watched Firefly instead. I will endeavor to persevere.

    456 My Star Trek: TOS collection is blu ray, so I guess I am safe for a few years. I think I bought the blu ray set because you have a choice of the original video or the original video with improved special effects. For example, engineering is using a phaser to cut into the wall of a locked room. The original video has a redshirt holding a phaser and a line of spalling appearing on the wall with the phaser sound effect. The improved effect has a line of bright light extending from the phaser to the wall. This was a labor of love! It was what they would have done if they could have back in the day! Recommended!

    No. My TV is old. Not 'still has tubes' old, but old for a flat screen. The picture is slowly going away. I'll have to look to get a new one soon. I'll need to re-arrange the furniture because the table I use is too small for the stands on the news TVs. The current old TV has one stand holding the screen up. New ones have two. So, If I get a 50in, I'll need to use a different stand, which I do have, just in no rush to move it. I probably should. I need to clean this place.

    Quick Hits

    @exjon:

    Greta Thunberg distracted the world with a false flag attack on her boat, allowing Israel to eliminate Hamas leadership. And the Left still hasn't figured out she's a Mossad asset.

    Via Crusader.

    Cracker Barrel announces that it is scrapping its entire $700 million rebrand effort.

    In a post on X and the company's website, the "Old Country Stores" wrote that "You've shared your voices in recent weeks not just on our logo, but also on our restaurants. We're continuing to listen. Today, we're suspending our remodels. If your restaurant hasn't been remodeled, you don't need to worry, it won't be."

    "We heard clearly that the modern remodel design does not reflect what you love about Cracker Barrel," it added. "We had tested this design in only four out of 660 locations, and we won't continue with it. Of course, we will continue to invest in our restaurants to make sure that they are in good shape and meet your expectations."

    $700 million of shareholder's former wealth down the drain so that a Woke Girlboss could show off to her hipster Vasser alumnae.

    I heard a guy, Cecil Says, explaining the problem with Cracker Barrel: It's stopped making food fresh from scratch and now mostly just reheats pre-prepared, frozen meals. He said that three years ago he ate at Cracker Barrel and it was a fantastic meal. Chicken and waffles or something. But he's been there twice more since then and said both times the food tasted frozen and hospital-like.

    But Cracker Barrel won't change that. Preparing meals from scratch again will be too costly.

    Instead they'll... spend $700 million on PR and crappy re-branding and then cancel that effort and just flush the $700 million down the toilet.

    The CEO, Becky Problem-Glasses, still has a job for some reason.

    Nevermind, I know the reason. She's a Woke Leftwing Woman and can only be promoted, never fired. Woke Leftwing Women want all the benefits of engaging in highly-competitive capitalism -- huge salary, big bonus even when you lose money -- but none of the accountability and punishment for failure.

    Speaking of ditzes promoted for no other reason than their politics and gender, Alexandria Donkey-Chompers is staying at five star, $1000-per-night hotels as part of her sacrifice for the "Fight the Oligarchy" movement.



    To fight the oligarchy, she must live like the oligarchy.

    New York "Squad" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- who fancies herself a working-class champion against the ultrawealthy -- appears to have lived it up at ritzy hotels with her team during her cross-country "Fighting Oligarchy" tour with fellow far-left Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), campaign filings suggest.

    AOC's campaign shelled out $3,508.92 alone at the Vdara Hotel & Spa -- which boasts a five-star relaxation retreat and posh penthouses -- in Las Vegas during the tour in March.

    Baseline prices for some rooms at the ritzy hotel can run up to nearly $1,000, depending on the day.

    It was not immediately clear what type of services the darling of the socialist set may have enjoyed at the costly hot spot, what time frame was involved or how many staffers helped rack it up the hefty bill, which was first reported by the Washington Examiner.

    Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders, a millionaire, began their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour earlier this year to mobilize the country's progressive base against the Trump administration.

    Her campaign's Vegas hotel expenditure occurred around the time of a town-hall event she participated in about a 20 minutes away with Sanders and Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) in Northern Las Vegas on March 20 to rail against the top 1%.

    "The only division that is truly hurting our country the most is the endless greed by those at the very, very top at the cost of everyone else," Ocasio-Cortez proclaimed to cheers from the audience at the time.

    Elizabeth Warren raged at RFKJr. for no longer mandating the covid non-vaccine for children. She demanded that he mandate a medically-unnecessary clot shot so that the left's many neurotic hypochondriac child-smotherers could inflict their Munchausen's-Syndrome-By-Proxy mental illness on their children and get it paid for by insurance.

    Now Blue States are creating fake findings to force insurers to cover these medically-unnecessary, dangerous shots.

    Kathy Hochul, a sexagenarian who Karol Sheinin never tired of pointing out demanded that everyone be masked at all times despite never wearing a mask in public herself, is now rewriting New York health guidelines to claim that physical activity creates a risk of "long covid." She's claiming this so that she can categorize healthy, physically-active children at a heightened risk for covid and thus mandate the clot-shot for them.

    When will we stop these fucking maniacs?!?


    Five years after COVID-19 lockdowns punished physical activity outside the home, possibly facilitating adverse events mistaken for biologically elusive "long COVID," the Empire State is explicitly warning residents that exercise is a threat to their health.

    The claim that "physical activity" is an "underlying medical condition" that increases a person's risk of "severe COVID" showed up in the New York State Department of Health's guidance to pharmacists and physicians on how to circumvent Trump administration policies so that all New Yorkers ages 3 and up, regardless of health, can get COVID vaccines.

    A physician who works in New York and New Jersey sent the Sept. 5 guidance to former Senate pharma corruption investigator Paul Thacker, he said in his newsletter Sunday.

    In six steps, the guidance explains how to prescribe "patient-specific orders" for COVID vaccines "off-label," meaning for purposes the Food and Drug Administration hasn't expressly authorized and lists the conditions that trigger the state's strongest recommendation that a given group "should" be vaccinated, one of which is "physical activity."

    Vaccine boosters were less friendly to off-label uses during the Biden administration, with his FDA allegedly interfering with doctors' attempts to prescribe ivermectin as a COVID treatment and securing legislative authority to ban off-label uses at will.

    "I have never seen any Dept of Health encourage off label prescriptions ever," the physician identified as "Michelle" told Thacker. She's baffled by the physical activity warning: "Your moderate activity that keeps you healthy, keeps your cholesterol down, your blood pressure down, is what they actually say is putting you at risk for severe COVID."

    Apparently the Democrat caucus in Congress still has a J6 committee in operation -- why? Why are we allowing this? -- and they've appointed a crack team of
    partisan maniacs and Likely Chinese Spies to staff it.


    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) proudly announced the names of the other theater-kid members he wants to join him on a new subcommittee investigating what happened on January 6, 2021, and it goes as badly as you imagine.

    To kick things off with this clown car, Jeffries named Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to be the lead Democrat on the new subcommittee.

    And as you can expect, Swalwell took the mic and suggested J6 was just like other days that will live in infamy in our history, like Pearl Harbor and September 11, 2001.

    It's almost too dumb to respond to. But here's the clip and comments in full.

    Swalwell says the three "most important dates in American history" since the Civil War are the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on "December 7, 1941, September 11th, and January 6th."

    He also called J6 the "worst of wrongs," and he continued to draw a comparison between what happened that day and the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

    Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was next up, and she got a turn to say something crazy when she claimed that the GOP-led J6 subcommittee is nothing more than a distraction from President Donald Trump.

    She claimed that it's an attempt to distract from Trump not lowering the cost of food; however, the cost of food has gone down under President Trump, but she can't be distracted by things like facts.

    Alex the Chick recommended this as a "sweet story." Well, let's take a look.

    If you're older than 29, you may remember that Oliver North, the Marine who oversaw the alleged arms-for-hostages deal with Iran, was pilloried by the media for having an affair with his secretary, Fawn Hall. Forty years ago.

    Apparently, they -- he, 81, she, 65 -- just got married in a "secret ceremony."



    Oliver North and his loyal former secretary Fawn Hall reportedly married in secret last month -- 40 years after their leading roles in the infamous Iran-Contra affair.

    A copy of the couple's marriage license, obtained by journalist Michael Isikoff, shows North, 81, and Hall, 65, were married in Arlington County, Virginia, on Aug. 27.

    "It was a secret marriage," a friend of the newlyweds told Isikoff.


    ...

    Hall, North's glamorous secretary at the NSC, was granted immunity by prosecutors investigating the case as she revealed that she destroyed, altered and hid evidence implicating North and others in illegal activity.

    The former secretary revealed that she helped North shred mountains of documents related to Iran-Contra after the Justice Department caught wind of the weapons scheme.

    ...

    After the scandal, Hall worked as a model in Hollywood, Calif., where she married Danny Sugarman, the manager of rock band The Doors, in 1993.

    Hall was married to Sugarman until his death in 2005.

    Meanwhile, North went on to found the Freedom Alliance nonprofit for wounded veterans, author several books and host "War Stories with Oliver North" on Fox News from 2001 to 2016. He also served as president of the National Rifle Association in 2018.

    North reconnected with Hall last December, at the funeral for his wife of 56 years, according to Isikoff, writing for the "SpyTalk" Substack page.

    "She rekindled the relationship at the funeral," a friend of the couple said. "They started spending time together."

    Can something that started illicit ever become licit? I don't know, but I think after forty years: Sure, why not.

    Good news: A Democrat judge in Michigan has tossed the deranged five-year persecution of Michigan's alternative electors for daring to believe the election was rigged (which, btw, it was).

    In a major gut-punch to Michigan's Democrat activist Attorney General Dana Nessel, Governor Whitmer-appointed Judge Kristin Simmins has ignored party allegiance and decided to put an end to the lawfare against 15 innocent Republican electors from the 2020 election, who cast an alternate slate of electoral votes for President Trump in a state where the stunning election results were highly contested by many.

    The 8 felony charges against the 15 electors would have carried life sentences for most of them:

    COUNT 1: CONSPIRACY- TO COMMIT FORGERY- FELONY: 14 Years and/or $10,000.00 fine.

    COUNT 2: FORGERY -- FELONY: 14 Years

    COUNT 3: FORGERY -- FELONY: 14 Years

    COUNT 4: CONSPIRACY- TO COMMIT UTTERING AND PUBLISHING -- FELONY: 14 Years and/or $10,000.00 fine.


    COUNT 5: UTTERING AND PUBLISHING -- FELONY: 14 Years

    COUNT 6: CONSPIRACY- TO COMMIT ELECTION LAW FORGERY -- FELONY: 5 Years and/or $10,000.00 fine

    COUNT 7: ELECTION LAW -- FORGERY -- FELONY: 5 Years and/or $1,000.00 fine.


    COUNT 8: ELECTION LAW -- FORGERY -- FELONY: 5 Years and/or $1 ,000.00 fine.

    Recently, The Gatway Pundit shared a stunning video that showed MI AG Dana Nessel on a Zoom call with a far-left group, bragging about how, if the judge (Kristin Simmins) decides to send the alternate electors case to a jury trial, she's set them up to be tried in the deep blue city of Lansing, MI, where it's very likely they won't get a fair jury trial. In other words, Michigan's top law enforcement officer is mocking these 15 mostly senior citizens who are entitled to a fair trial for not being able to receive a fair trial.

    I think that September 17th will turn out to be the most efficient, drama-free, distraction-free day of work in a century.


    And yet she persisted.

    If I know how big corps hide losses and shitty asset writeoffs, and I do, then this $700k number is complete bullshit. It’s maybe 10% of that.

    The quarter or half year after a big management change or bad news is called the ‘purge’ quarter. All the dogshit shit they’ve been carrying on the books for years is suddenly written down or off, which causes a yuge loss which is often hidden with gimmicks like expenses for research or rebrands.

    The current management basically wipes the slate clean and gets a nice fat fresh start on the new periods, which management will of course take credit for.

    One of the oldest scams on the books.

He said that three years ago he ate at Cracker Barrel and it was a fantastic meal. Chicken and waffles or something. But he's been there twice more since then and said both times the food tasted frozen and hospital-like.

    Time for Scotus to put Jacobson v. Massachusetts that allows mandatory vaccinations to rest. If it requires a probable cause to merely draw blood for a test, it should require the state to have a helluva lot more to mandate vaccines.

    Jacobson in that case already had a very bad experience in Sweden with mandatory vax and had already had the vaccine at issue in Mass. Mass fined him anyway and Scotus backed that up.

    Time for that precedent to die like Humphrey's Executor.

    62 He also called J6 the "worst of wrongs," and he continued to draw a comparison between what happened that day and the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

    In a way, J6 was that bad. It is when Congress praised the killing of two unarmed women, one through a severe beating by police, the other by being shot at from point blank range.

    Then the Congress went ahead and went through with their coup d' etat by endorsing the obvious fraud, followed up by a huge false flag attack and the torture of thousands of innocent people.

    I have autoimmune issues plus a genetic IGG3 subtype deficiency in resisting respiratory viruses So, after getting a bad case of Covid in 2021 then severe bronchitis immediately afterward. My entire immune system crashed and I suddenly had sudden spikes in BP to stroke level in an unpredictable fashion. Took monoclonal antibodies to end the problem months later.

    Whether that fits long covid or not, I more or less had severe complications from that first go around. Worse the second time early in 2022 followed by pneumonia and the bp spikes. Then again in 2023 and had to take Pavloxid to stop that and by that time had all pneumonia vaxxes that existed.

    Never recovered totally from those infections and they spiked my inflammatory arthritis to eleventy leaving further damage in joints, spine, etc.

    Applying pressure to her neck would be a start. It might have been hopeless and it might not have been. Arteries if completely severed (in her case: carotid) will spasm on their own and slow blood loss. If partially severed you bleed out quickly.

    I would have helped her. I would have also asked people to help me. Sure, let the murderer off the train, if no one is man enought to tackle him. But try to save the girl.

    146 $700 million of shareholder's former wealth down the drain so that a Woke Girlboss could show off to her hipster Vasser alumnae.
    ++++
    Not quite. And only sort of.

    Investors are out about $250 million. That's how much the market cap has shrunk over the past month. They didn't spend all that much on the rebrand yet. They had *planned* to spend $700 million. They didn't come anywhere close to that. A bunch of new signs went up and a few stores got turned into generic hipster restaurants. That wasn't free it, but it wasn't hundreds of millions. Not yet. Not ever, now.

    The losses are in the huge stock declines, but even they aren't really close to $700 million. They can't be, because of the obvious question in this whole thing.

    CBRL's market cap has mostly floated between $1.3 and $1.6 billion this year. It's down to $1.12 because of this debacle, but it has bounced around in that range otherwise, except for one spike. So the better question, in my mind, is why the executives thought committing ~50% of their market cap to rebranding was feasible. It's an expensive job to renovate restaurants, but half of the enterprise value?

    I spent about a year or so learning the lingo and science behind viruses while I was laid up. Very early on, Indian researchers caught on that the virus had features that could only have come from being human made aka the furin cleavage and it was reengineered from earlier corono viruses in order to spread faster by being less lethal in the short run. That was promptly hushed up as the full Covid/Election Cheat/Lockdown machine was in high gear.

    FWIW, Moderna had some inkling what was going on as they were issued patents that closely resembled the virus when in the wild shortly before go time that they later used for their vaxx.

    It is being reported that between 80 and 85% of mothers who received the vaxx in the first trimester suffered a miscarriage. For contrast, mifepristone is touted to be 95-99% effective.
    This was known during the initial testing, including the cause of the miscarriages.
    It also can cause sterility in very young children, concentrate in ovaries and testes, and affect sperm motility in men.

    Anyone who pushed this, especially on mothers and children has got to be having trouble sleeping, either out of guilt or out of being chased down by enraged mobs

    218 Question.

    you have veins and arteries on both sides of neck -- so if you use pressure to block one side, does the other side compensate, or do you become half unconscious? (Like Steve Martin in The Man With Two Brains)

    220 I know I would have done that much, at least. and if it was the jugular and not the carotid, direct pressure would have help
    ed, at least somewhat. Arterial bleeding is very difficult, especially in the neck, and the torso. You can't apply a tourniquet. But, yes, I would have done something. At least be there.

    People are fucking monsters. And cowed by monsters.
    Posted by: Mikey Alpha Kilo, Allegedly Pissed Off at September 09, 2025 06:57 PM (0aYVJ)

    Direct pressure with a damn tee shirt might have helped if the carotid was completely severed as it will spasm. If nicked she would bleed out, but I would have tried to help her. She might have had a chance til paramedics got her. If anyone is bleeding apply pressure. Try, dammit.

    If a knive or something is impaled, don't remove it...as it will bleed out if removed. Keep the patient calm. "Yes, I know there is a knife in your abdomen, what are your pet's names?" My poor sons knew this when before they were in junior high, bless them.

    Posted by: Bigsmith
    ======
    Wasn't in my case but then again I already had prior autoimmune issues. Healthy people with healthy immune systems could very well damage their system. Essentially, the vaxx was a prophylactic (meant to eliminate the massive body inflammatory response to the spike in the virus thought to be the cause of most fatalities). If I understand it correctly (my doc was a former Navy doe and he specialized in infectious disease), the vaxx was designed to teach IGG4 system not to recognize the spike as an enemy--this was to prevent the inflammatory response and also allowed the vaxx to manufacture spikes inside the body. Apparently then, the spike itself became a toxin and it tended to accumulate in different places for different people just like Covid appears to attack different organs in different people--probably due to viral receptors in that organ.

    Natural immunity tended to destroy the spike entirely and cleanse it if the person had normal immune responses. Vaxxed people can't get the spike out of their system and booster makes it worse.

    "Rekindling the relationship" at the funeral is one of those phrases that is supposed to make it sound dirty.

    Same with the images here. The the murderer's nonchalant, casual cruelty, combined with her shock and horror, are too much to bear.
    These images should spur reform. They should galvanize politicians to deal with the serial offenders in our midst. There is a need for systemic change.

    Blade work requires experience like you have. In my case, the Indiana Jones solution is better and I avoid places I cannot carry being retired now. That being said, KaBar makes their TDI knife that is effective for close end defense and easy to retain. Has basically a pistol grip with the same angle as a J Frame revolver. IIRC 3 inch and 5 inch blades with the same hilt.

    I've had one of those for a couple of decades. I've used it twice while jogging--large dogs thought I would be a good target until I popped the baton open. The metal-on-metal sliding sound as it clicked into place startled both the dog both times--you could see the look on the dog's face as it had that "System recalculating look" as it paused its charge at me.

If the bastard came back I'd fight him as best I could and a kick to his nuts. Maybe that would help, maybe it would not, but I'd be knifed trying.

    After 9/11 there was no doubt in my mind I'd go down with a plane fighting. None. To the point about 10yrs later my husband said, "Don't you think you should now be second string?"

    And now Trump calls on the EU to impose 100% tariffs on China and India for their purchases of Russian energy exports. US policy (at least the public diplomacy and comms) on this whole thing has been wildly incoherent, to say the least. Which actually isn't important to outcomes, probably, but interesting.

    393 $700 million of shareholder's former wealth down the drain so that a Woke Girlboss could show off to her hipster Vasser alumnae.’

    If I know how big corps hide losses and shitty asset writeoffs, and I do, then this $700k number is complete bullshit. It’s maybe 10% of that.

    The quarter or half year after a big management change or bad news is called the ‘purge’ quarter. All the dogshit shit they’ve been carrying on the books for years is suddenly written down or off, which causes a yuge loss which is often hidden with gimmicks like expenses for research or rebrands.

    The current management basically wipes the slate clean and gets a nice fat fresh start on the new periods, which management will of course take credit for.

    One of the oldest scams on the books.

    399 A few years before The Great Idiocy and subsequent hyper-inflation, we'd reduced restaurant eating dramatically, entirely due to the value proposition just collapsing. We only went to good places that we liked. But prices just became ridiculous (again, prior to 2020).

    Two (good) burgers and two craft beers for $75???? Try $40, maybe. (numbers from memory, but illustrative of some of the real shockers that changed our habits)

    Now? Lol. Among the many many things I can't understand in today's society is how restaurants stay busy enough to survive given the unbelievable cost of eating there. Goes along with housing prices (live in a severe real estate bubble area).

    He managed to kill several of them and chased the rest of them (about 40 total) off the train BY HIMSELF. Total badass.

    459 And now Trump calls on the EU to impose 100% tariffs on China and India for their purchases of Russian energy exports. US policy (at least the public diplomacy and comms) on this whole thing has been wildly incoherent, to say the least. Which actually isn't important to outcomes, probably, but interesting. The implicit premise of all efforts to "pressure" Moscow to do/not do something here is off, and seemingly shared by all in the west.

    The selling of oil to third parties for resale back to Europe was the nod and a wink way to get Russian oil while crowing how you embargoed Russian oil.

    Trump is in contact with Russia behind the scenes. He has little interest in sanctions that already failed. He's telling the EU to put up or shut up.

    It is more to the point that mom and pop restaurants using fresh ingredients were badly damaged by the Covid shutdowns and massively escalating labor costs. So they close quite frequently especially if their clientele can no longer afford it and the owners eventually get tired of being owned by their restaurant.

    Chains have more flexibility and bulk buying power but seek to reduce costs to the minimum to maximize price. Costs of ingredients and labor to cook it are the easiest costs to reduce by using pre-prepped food form food wholesalers like Sysco. They also tend to have the ability to buy into more expensive and visible locations and for travelers represent a sure level of mediocrity versus perhaps an intestinal adventure at a mom and pop.

    I think the times this has been accurate are precious few. The history of man isn't the last few decades. It's mostly been brutal and required heroes all the time in many ways. Hell, the founding of this country isn't just a fairy tale, it's a time when people risked everything including their lives and those of their families for freedom and in the grand scheme not that long ago.

    I think we lost something vital when we assumed we didn't need heroes every single day and just relied on government to make sure we didn't need them.

    It depends on situation. If you are just eating, then fine. I eat it too.
    But if you going out to have a good meal I want it to taste better than what I can cook at home.

    That is true across the board and always has been. McDonald's had it's fryer. Burger King had "Charcoal Broiled." KFC had their pressure fryer. Pizza places have yeast dough and pizza ovens.... It is always about the process better than what you can do at home.

    533 Drama in the air over Poland, no idea what actually happened. As Oldcat posted earlier, at least one incident way back of a Uke SAM coming to earth in Poland. Also some Uke drone strikes up near St Petersburg that seemed like they might have used Baltic airspace along the way. So it's been a thing for a while.

    Based on aerial assets aloft over the Black Sea and other things, looks like another large russki strike on Ukeistan tonight (their time). If this was some Russian drone it was probably part of tonight's salvos.

    *Important*

    It's easy to imagine being regarded as a savior AFTER THE FACT, but if you intervene during a stabbing and kill the attacker and the victim survives and perhaps isn't even harmed, EVERYTHING Is Different.

    YOU are the Killer, in this scenario. Sure, he was going to kill her. But he didn't. Now YOU are the Killer. And you'll be in the police station for a while, and then in court. And the Fake News will ruin your life because You killed a colored man with "mental health issues."

    Yep. Mas Ayoob called it the Mark of Cain even if your killing is justified.

    From what TJM said earlier though, it appears that some people did step up to help the woman but the video is slowed down by some sites. Whole attack took about 15 seconds. By measure, if your firearm is optimally placed and you are average in drawing, it takes at least 1.5 to 2 seconds to draw and make the fire/no fire decision and you might have to move for a clear shot.

    From training and seeing endless videos of attacks--these attacks happen fast which is why distance is needed to figure out a response before the person can close with you.

    Texas A&M’s president announces on his Facebook page that the university’s dean of the college of arts and sciences and a department head have been removed from their administrative positions.

    Monday night’s statement (September from Mark Welsh said the removals came after he learned of unidentified key leaders in the college approving plans “to continue teaching course content that was not consistent with the course’s published description”.

    Welsh also stated “If we allow different course content to be taught from what is advertised, we let our students down.”

    The president finished his statement by saying “When it comes to our academic offerings, we must keep our word to our students and to the state of Texas.”

    Welsh’s statement did not say what if anything happened to anyone who taught the undisclosed courses resulting the personnel actions against the dean and the department head.

She knew that she was entering into a political marriage, she knew that she stood to gain a lot - personally from that marriage, and she also had at least one affair. Who was first? I don't know and neither do you. Most journalists who favor her will say him but they don't know any more than we do.

    Bhau Lachke (19) from Trimbakeshwar taluka, had been declared brain dead by doctors at a private hospital at Adgaon after he sustained serious injuries in an accident some days ago, they claimed.

    "While we were preparing for his funeral, he started moving and coughing. We rushed him to the district hospital, where is undergoing treatment at present. His condition is serious and he has been put on ventilator support," Lachke's relative Gangaram Shinde said.

    Meanwhile, the management of the private hospital claimed Lachke was never declared dead, adding the family was confused over certain medical terms."

    833 SC has had some strange politicians for sure.
    The aforementioned John Jenrette, Sanford, Graham.

    There was also that short-lived politician, Thomas Ravenel, son of a politician named Arthur Ravenel, Jr.

    They named the new Cooper River Bridge after his dad, but the son was a screw-up, alcoholic, cocaine addict, famous for embarrassing himself (and the rest of us) on a reality TV show named "Southern Charm".

    He was arrested and charged, while holding the office of State Treasurer, by the Feds for purchasing 500 grams of cocaine.
    He was sentenced to 10 months in jail but never served it.

    He's also been arrested for sexually assaulting a few women, but as far as I can tell only had to pay a fine and never went to jail for anything.

    The bank wars of NYNY were waged with Black Cars, Escalades, Maybachs, and Rolls. The lessor reduced to traveling in Tesla Taxis.

    The CDC is sounding the alarm over a dangerous disease carried by the face-biting “kissing bug,” now detected in 32 states.

    Health officials warn that thousands of Americans could already be infected without realizing it.

    The parasite spreads when the bug bites a person or animal—then leaves the infection behind in its droppings.

    One minute and forty-nine seconds of treasonous conspiracy captured on videotape:

    The Director of National Intelligence: @DNIGabbard

    The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly points to Barack Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact: Barack Hussein Obama attempted to overthrow the United States government in 2016, overthrew it in 2020 to cover it up—and now he’s been caught.

    Just think about one thing—this is only the tip of the iceberg. 2016 was just the attempt; 2020 was the overthrow.
