96 I like the detail he achieves on the facial features and the fur and the way he captured the varied skin tones of both figures. This is more realistic than I expected for the period. Looking at some other paintings by Gossaert, there is an emotional aspect, sometimes a playfulness, to many of his portraits that is very appealing. This one makes the viewer, at least this viewer, immediately wonder about all the old couple has been through in a long life together.

A side issue. The expression on the man's face made me think of Dylan Thomas.

102 Mercy and truth have met together. Righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another. Man, in his weakness and shortsightedness believes he must make choices in this life. He trembles at the risks he takes. We do know fear.

But no. Our choice is of no importance. There comes a time when our eyes are opened and we come to realize that mercy is infinite. We need only await it with confidence and receive it with gratitude. Mercy imposes no conditions. And lo! Everything we have chosen has been granted to us. And everything we rejected has also been granted.

Yes, we even get back what we rejected. For mercy and truth have met together, and righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another.

104 Hats all the time, indoors and out. No central heating, and for three or four months each year, unless you are close to the fireplace, it's 39 degrees Fahrenheit everywhere else inside.

The kitchen is the only warm place in the house, due to the big cookstove. If you are a one-percenter, you might have one of those big masonry heaters, but you still went around well-hatted.

You wear a sleeping hat when you go to bed in your ice-cold bedchamber, and pre-warm that bed with the bed-warmer, filled with hot coals from the grate.

This gets joked about fairly often, but it's true. I especially like Old West photos for shocking age revelations:

108 I recall seeing photos from the 19th century, people smiling and clowning for the camera. It created such a stark view of people, from a time when most of the photos show this same dour expression.

If I recall, the explanation was, people were superstitious, they didn't want to reveal something that could be exploited by the devil, or something like that.

I would imagine sitting for the pose, for however long you must, can't be easy either, but why oh why does the painter have to keep the faces so dour, unless he also felt compelled?

If you look at photos of baseball players, from the early 20th century, until well into the 60s, they look so much older than they have ever since. Guys in their 30s genuinely look old, so you end up wondering how they can be athletes.

I'm sure some of it's sun exposure, but there has to be more to it than that.

Yes. I think as late as the Fifties, young boys looked forward to the day when they got their first pair of "long pants." It meant they were growing up, and more than that, would be considered more grown up by grownups.

The only time I wear shorts is if I'm working out. I suppose if I lived in Africa or Florida without access to air conditioning, I might have to plump for a pair of those tropical "Englishman in the desert or jungle" shorts . . . but then I'd be nuts from the heat anyway.

Read the letters they mailed to relatives - “we shall meet again in the great beyond” and stuff like that. Your daughter moves to Oregon, chances are you’ll never see her again. We take a lot of things for granted.

Death and disease particularly were common. Losing children and Mothers during birth, TB, malaria, smallpox and measles and polio and and and..

200 I recall seeing photos from the 19th century, people smiling and clowning for the camera. It created such a stark view of people, from a time when most of the photos show this same dour expression.

If I recall, the explanation was, people were superstitious, they didn't want to reveal something that could be exploited by the devil, or something like that.

I would imagine sitting for the pose, for however long you must, can't be easy either, but why oh why does the painter have to keep the faces so dour, unless he also felt compelled?

Saw a video of a woman getting to her airplane seat in a string bikini. The woman sitting behind her basically had the bikini girl bend over in her face and the two had a running argument for the whole take off period.

I really can't understand why you'd want to wear something that didn't fully cover your butt when sitting in a poorly cleaned airline seat.

267 Democratic Minnesota Senator Nicole Mitchell was arrested Monday morning in Detroit Lakes, Minn., for alleged burglary. The jail roster with the Becker County Sheriff’s Office indicates that Mitchell has been arrested for a first-degree burglary offense.

According to an official with the Detroit Lakes Police Department, a homeowner in the city called 911 at 4:45 a.m. Monday morning after discovering a person in their residence. Responding officers found the alleged burglar, made an arrest, and transported that person to the Becker County Sheriff’s Office. A jail official told Alpha News that Mitchell was still in custody as of early Monday afternoon.

“Knowing very few details at this time, I am shocked by the news of Sen. Nicole Mitchell’s arrest for first-degree burglary. The public expects legislators to meet a high standard of conduct. As information comes out, we expect the consequences to meet the actions, both in the court of law, and in her role at the legislature,” Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson, R-East Grand Forks, said in a statement.

The Morning Report — 4/23/24

DershowKwai.jpg

Good morning, kids. Aside from being absolutely sickened to my stomach by the rabid, nearly and actually violent Jew-hatred that has exploded across college campuses and beyond in the wake of the 10/7 attack on Israel, it's stunning to me how so many people, most dishearteningly my fellow Jews, are shocked – SHOCKED! – at why this suddenly happened. Of course, it's neither shocking nor stunning nor sudden when all of the signs taken in context with actual history have been in one's face for decades.

I guess the perfect illustration of the dichotomy of being book smart, intellectual, worldly, etc. with that of plain old common sense comes from none other than the estimable Alan Dershowitz:

Dershowitz expressed profound disappointment in his party's failure to address the pro-Palestine demonstrations at Columbia University that have been ongoing since last Wednesday.

“We're hearing nothing from Democrats. We are hearing nothing from Chuck Schumer,” Dershowitz explained. “We're hearing nothing really direct from [sham] President Biden. He made a very disappointing statement. In the same breath, he talked about the demonstrators in passing and he said, ‘but you have to understand the Palestinian situation.’ No, you don't have to understand the Palestinian situation. When people are calling for rape and murder and beheading. The Democrats are an extraordinary disappointment."

"I am no longer presumptively voting for Democrats," he added. "I'm gonna vote for whoever is the best candidate, that may include Democrats, but I have no loyalty anymore to the party.” 

Dershowitz criticized college admissions practices and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, which he argued have contributed to the recent issues observed at prestigious universities.“

Many of the students [protesting] today are unqualified students,” Dershowitz said. “They were admitted because of DEI. They were admitted because Qatar and other Arab countries are paying for foreign students. These are not the best and the brightest students, they are the loudest students, but they're certainly not students who are looking out for the best interests of America.”

Oh, counselor, with all due respect, get your head out of your ass and wake the fuck up! You haven't heard from Schumer? Not even two weeks ago he and most of the party that despite what you say still bitterly cling to attempted to overthrow the Netanyahu government during war time. And as for your railing against unqualified students from Muslim countries infiltrating academia, you completely disregard the capture of American academia by our own native born terrorists with doctorates and tenure whose mission is the brainwashing of American-born youth to hate and overthrow this country. The loudest voices at these near pogroms are those.

Forget Israel and Jews for a moment. Since at least the end of World War Two, American colleges and universities have been focused on dismantling this nation, its culture, western civilization and Judeo-Christianity, erasing the accomplishments of 1,000 years of human development achieved slowly and painfully at times and taking us back to what will be the darkest of dark ages. And that rot can be found now in pre-K through high schools.

To not have seen the likes of Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, Theodore Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, William Ayers, Ward Churchill and thousands upon thousands just like them, less well known but no less infamous for the raping of the American mind, is to have been willfully blind. While I'm loathe to criticize someone as prominent as Dershowitz for saying generally what needs to be said at this time, which of course should be encouraged, my castigation stands. Unless and until you deprogram yourself from no doubt decades of propaganda that you've been stewing in that Democrats are the good guys, who are for the downtrodden and the little guy and Republicans are the Nazis, better you should just keep quiet. All the equivocation you spout in a desperate attempt to preserve the fictitious image about a party and political movement that you idolized and dedicated yourself is an exercise in radioactive turd-polishing.

Give it up. Let it go.

And ditto for multi-billionaire Robert Kraft opening his eyes as to what all his donations to Columbia has bought.

Kraft, 82, called for academics with secure jobs at the Ivy League school to be held accountable for incendiary remarks and lectures that some argue have indoctrinated students to hate Israel. 

“We have professors who, instead of teaching how to think, are trying to tell our young people what they should think,” the billionaire former Columbia University donor told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “I think one of the biggest problems that we have to do something about is really tenure at these universities,” Kraft added. “Where people can do things and don’t have accountability.” 

. . . Kraft said he was dismayed by the level of antisemitism he’s witnessed on college campuses since Oct. 7, 2023.

“I never thought I’d see what’s going on in America, what’s happening right now, and it really pains me to see it,” he said.

Really? I seem to recall Robert Kraft being a team owner about the time that a brillo-headed scrub named Colin Kaepernick got a whole bunch of players around the league to take a knee during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. In all fairness, I don't know what his reaction to that was and I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt that he was equally disgusted. But what did the coaches and the owners do back then? IIRC, not a whole hell of a lot to discourage that behavior.

I thought Kraft and his ilk were savvy businessmen. Perhaps the image of the ivy covered walls of academia got him bamboozled but look what's been going on with his and his colleagues' money in his own business, right under his nose.

The left-wing nonprofit that bailed out anti-Israel protesters who blocked bridges and highways across the country last week was a multi-year partner of the NFL's "Inspire Change program" whose work is still promoted on the NFL's website.

Community Justice Exchange set up a "bail and legal defense fund" for those arrested during last week's A15 protests. The protests targeted major airports, highways, and bridges in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia. Their explicit goal was to disrupt economic "choke points" to maximize financial disruption, as explained on their website.

The partnership appears to have since lapsed—the nonprofit wasn’t on the list of grantees announced in May 2023. The NFL’s "Inspire Change" website lists Community Justice Exchange under "Previous Grant Recipients" and still includes a link to the group's website.

The NFL's promotion of the left-wing group underscores the extent to which anti-Israel groups have been propped up by major donors and institutions in the United States. Community Justice Exchange is also a project of the Tides Center—a left-wing dark money network funded by George Soros and other prominent liberal billionaires like Pierre Omidyar. The Tides Center serves as a hub for a variety of left-wing groups, channeling substantial funds from affluent donors and functioning as a "fiscal sponsor," enabling them to sidestep IRS registration.

To paraphrase Robert Frost, the rot is ugly, dark and deep. And if you've decided to return to watching the NFL just because Kaepernick has vanished from the scene, you're stupid.

Meanwhile, Sen Josh Hawley has called on Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants to activate the National Guard to ensure the protection of Jewish students at Columbia U.

At the same time, Eric Adams, the mayor of the completely rotten apple belched up this hideous equivocation:

“But I also look back to Little Rock, AR, and what it meant for African Americans to be escorted on campuses because they were afraid for their lives. And that is what I see when I see Jewish students going through this at this moment. There is no place for hate in this city. I don’t care if it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Sikhism. We don’t have a place for that, and I don’t want to be, and I won’t be the mayor where you have to take off your hijab, your yarmulke, or your turban when you enter a place of higher education or use our transportation system or walk our streets.”

The pathetic attempt to both condemn the assault on Jews while trying to preserve the votes of those instigating the pogroms at the ballot box is disgusting. Funny he brings up Little Rock because it was the Democrat Party that instigated a Civil War to preserve slavery, that created the KKK as a terrorist organization to intimidate freed black slaves, that instituted Jim Crow laws to keep the down, that opposed civil rights legislation and created a gigantic welfare state that has committed genocide against blacks and kept them as virtual slaves to Big Government. And he has the fucking gall to invoke Little Rock?

Ditto Biden, who actually used verbiage similar to Trump's "good people on both sides" Charlottesville statement.

The media took that out of context since Trump was referring only to the issue of the Confederate flag's defenders and detractors, not those engaged in violence, who turned out to be Leftist "confederates" so to speak. Biden cannot afford to lose the Muslim/Maoist alliance and his equivocation between perpetrators and victims, dementia notwithstanding, clearly in evidence. This time, though, the media is obviously silent.

Speaking of Rashid Khalidi, worst of all was Obama who desecrated the Passover holiday by equating "Palestinians" with Jews in bondage to Pharaoh. That was his Passover message.

I stated yesterday and with all this garbage both on this issue and virtually any other topic covered in the links, the divide is no longer about two sides disagreeing about an issue or issues. It's about one side's hatred of the nation it allegedly is a part of, and its obsession with destroying it and the side that seeks its preservation.

“We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you,” Riddhi Patel, the co-founder of the local chapter of the Sunrise Movement, told members of the Bakersfield City Council.

The Sunrise Movement, a radical environmentalist group founded by a former Occupy Wall Street activist and funded by the Ford Foundation, had become notorious for its ugly tactics, recruiting young people and children to harass and even threaten elected officials.

Dressed in stark black shirts with yellow letters, sometimes decorated with skulls, the angry teens of the Sunrise Movement had reminded some people of the Chinese Communist Red Guard and the Nazi stormtroopers, which only increased with Sunrise’s support for a second genocide of the Jews.

While the Sunrise Movement had supposedly been created to force a Green New Deal, it had an obsession with the Jews that broke out when it demanded that Jewish groups be banned from a leftist event “because they “are all in alignment with and in support of Zionism”.

. . . Riddhi Patel was at the end of a pipeline designed to train leftist foot soldiers determined to overthrow America and destroy Israel. The confrontations, whether it was Patel calling for murder, or the pro-Hamas activists shutting down bridges and roads, or assailing synagogues and scrawling swastikas, were not meant to convince, but to radicalize the activists.

Although the Neo-Nazi Left loves to hide behind the legacy of MLK and the Civil Rights movement, its business is not persuasion, it’s revolution. Its ideal activists, like Patel, started out with a political wing of the far Left, like the Bernie Sanders campaign, before transitioning into more openly radical organizations combining day jobs as community organizers with real roles as domestic terrorists. The ugliness and the violence are there to alienate, to get the activists to hate everyone and to confuse violent emotional tantrums with meaningful political change.

The only extraordinary thing about Patel was that she got caught making the political violence that the Neo-Nazi Left thrives on personal. Had she called for the destruction of America or Israel, she would have been fine, and had she spoken in general terms of a leftist uprising that would wipe out the capitalists, that too would have gotten a pass, but she threatened individuals, in unmistakable language and on video, and, like Lee Harvey Oswald or Jim Jones stopped being a revolutionary hero and became an embarrassment to be quickly covered up.

If Dershowitz or Kraft or anyone else still can't understand what they're seeing on college campuses, they should read this column. Good friend and friend of blog Michael Walsh has some cromulent observations about the great divide and the potential for some kind of reconciliation:

Hard as this may seem to believe, back before the election of Barack Hussein Obama -- just seven years after 9/11, remember -- there was at least one thing sane people on both the Left and the Right agreed upon: freedom of speech and the primacy of the First Amendment. Conservatives were dedicated to the constitution in all its aspects, while liberals at least pretended to enjoy the blessings of free expression, even if they often employed the 1A as a shield with which to protect themselves and their dissention from the consequences of their intentions. Honest men on both sides could not only have reasoned discussions with one another, but actually be friends.

Obama's elections, in ways which still remain to be understood, changed all that. The notion that not everybody saw the Lightbringer as a divinized politician descended, deus ex machina, from the flies and wings of the American stage to redeem the U.S.A. from its original sin of "racism" threw them into a fit. By their lights, the election should have been unanimous, by acclamation; how dare their former darling maverick, John McCain, have the effrontery to oppose him? Even the fact that McCain, a born tomato can whose last public act was to betray his Senate comrades and his country over Obamacare, threw the election by "suspending" his campaign near the end didn't appease them. As for those who actually voted against the Punahou Kid, off to purdah and perdition with them. And thus the Cold Civil War (as I dubbed it at the time) was well and truly underway. . .

. . . Is there still a way for honest patriots on both sides to come together? Yes, there are some, even though the Democrat-Media Complex has erased almost all traces of their existence, owing to its complete control of the public Narrative.

I'd like to believe that honest men on both sides can come together. But the problem for me is that whatever defined those two sides no longer exists, or is well on the way to extinction. What we have is one side that is hell bent to destroy us and . . . us. People who cling (bitterly) to the desire to be left alone. To be free to live as we see fit. The other side cannot abide by that as to them it is a zero sum game.

Are we willing to do whatever is necessary to preserve our freedom? That requires self-preservation "by any means necessary." What comes after that, if we do emerge on top please God, is open for discussion afterwards.

    ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

  • Michael Walsh: "Perhaps, later, in the rubble, we can find common ground and begin anew. Not with the New Soviet Man but the rebirth of Western Man, a believer in freedom, a capitalist with a conscience, and a man whose philosophy is not beggar-thy-neighbor, who doesn't see the world as a zero-sum game, and who only asks to live and let live. But it begins with free speech, or it never begins at all."
    In Search of Common Ground
  • “For those of us who remember Soviet totalitarianism, it was a déjà vu.”
    How the West Suppresses Dissent
  • "The left will find and use children in perverse ways that endanger their innocence, and politicians will do nothing to prevent it. It’s up to parents to create safety for their families. It starts at the school board and ends in their state capitols."
    Fleeing To Red States Won’t Spare You From The War Against Wokeness
  • Daniel Greenfield: “'We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you,' Riddhi Patel, the co-founder of the local chapter of the Sunrise Movement, told members of the Bakersfield City Council."

That should've been the takeaway by all Republicans at that moment. Americans. Doesn't matter if they're stupid or if they disagree. They are Americans and they have every right to be stupid and say things you find disagreeable.

Instead even True Conservatives like Ted Cruz blamed the Americans that got permits to be there for the violence that was brought down upon them as they marched peacefully like Americans with free speech.

31 ... if you've decided to return to watching the NFL just because Kaepernick has vanished from the scene...

I'm not going to castigate anyone for watching the NFL but, for me, watching was habit. That habit is now broken, has been replaced, and I have no interest in returning to it.

32 Wonderful commentary JJ. Spot on (as usual)…. All of your observations along with the backdrop of Trump’s Stalinist show trial in NY makes for a depressing display….. but I’ll go with my native optimism today because I cannot believe that anywhere near a majority of voters in the country want this insanity. I’d guess that at least 65% want to put Biden in the rear view mirror…. And with ballot box chicanery that should give Trump just barely enough swing states to swing the EC back to sanity. Given what Dershowitz said I have to assume he’ll be voting Trump!

34 Dersh should read Tulsi Gabbard's book. I saw an interview with her the other day, where she was plugging it - it's all about why people should leave the accursed monstrosity that is the Democrat Party. She talked about their terrible policies, of course, but mostly about their contempt for the people of this country and their apocalyptic, headlong drive for absolute power. The actual root problems.

It actually kind of bothered me, because I sitting there thinking "why?" Just why in the living hell don't we have even one - one! - Republican willing to leave that accursed monstrosity of a Party, throw down the gauntlet, and write a book sounding the alarm about them?

Why is the only politician in this country with the tiny modicum of moral courage it takes to do the right thing and leave the plantation a damned Democrat? A disgusting state of affairs.

However he can't bring himself vto separate from Dems completely. He says he might for a Dem. It's like people being startled by Fetterman. He's making good pro Israel statements, but he'll still vote for every leftist piece of legislation. So even if Dersh votes for a Dem he's still voting for leftist crap

The problem isn't common ground in the sense of what it means to be an American, although that would be a fantastic start. (BTW, that's evil "nationalism" now)

Half of the nation believes the Constitution is a document ensuring that the government leaves citizens alone, while the other half believes the document gives them power over citizens.

95 Since at least the end of World War Two, American colleges and universities have been focused on dismantling this nation, its culture, western civilization and Judeo-Christianity, erasing the accomplishments of 1,000 years of human development achieved slowly and painfully at times and taking us back to what will be the darkest of dark ages. And that rot can be found now in pre-K through high schools.

Disaffected socialists had to land *somewhere* during and after the dual failures of international communism and national socialism, and they landed right back where they started in earnest: in the universities. No amount of war and death could dislodge them from their seats of power in Paris and Frankfurt, and no amount of vast wealth and power on this continent could break out academics of their slavering over European intellectuals.

Sadly, the American universities served as the perfect breeding ground for evolution. French Postmodernism and German Critical Theory hybridized *here* into the powerful destructive thing that nowadays is usually abbreviated to "wokism." *Our* universities did that. Neither the French nor the Germans could carry it over the line. We could.

There is no accountability, Bob. Like government, academia is designed to be accountability-free. There is accountability *only* when someone violates the central commandment of American academia: Thou Shall Conform.

There is only one other kind of accountability left, and that is the final accountability of dollars. Quit giving them money. Quit sending your kids there. Let them go bankrupt. The ones that don't will coast on endowments or be subsidized by Uncle Sugar, but they can't prop up the whole system.

116 I've mentioned this before; I used to work with a bunch of researchers, PhD types. They used computer modeling extensively. To prove their point and collect more funding.

We all know that "your" model will be what "you" think it should look like, what data you think should be presented and what that model will "prove."

Honest modeling can occur, if the programmers and the data being input are honest too.

123 Hmm, nothing on Trump reversing his stance on funding Ukraine? Figured this would be a bigger story. Certainly had ace and all the GOPe media outlets all a flutter yesterday. Figured the left would be crowing about it too.
Posted by: JROD at April 23, 2024 08:15 AM (IlL6s)


Ace's uproar came from the (anonymous sources) WSJ - no friend to Trump. I read an article from the UK's Guardian, also no friend to Trump, and they said that while he said that Ukraine was an American interest, he talked about Europe stepping up and paying for it. Did Trump, contrary to all prior history, suddenly become all about war and the US funding European military nonsense? Seems doubtful.

I suspect that Ace still has an issue where he will immediately accept the worst about Trump because he's still unreconciled about the fact that DeSantis got curb stomped. There are a few people like that around here.

126 I'd like to believe that honest men on both sides can come together. But the problem for me is that whatever defined those two sides no longer exists, or is well on the way to extinction.
++++
To be successful, the "two sides" must share a common root. They are two branches (or many branches), not two *trees.* To have a policy disagreement and do so honestly, the "two sides" must share a common framework for operation, and a common set of core values. That shared core - "nation-state representative government is superior to other varieties" or "free enterprise economy is superior to other varieties" or "humans universally have certain basic rights that must not be infringed" - must exist for policy disagreement to be possible. Without it, there can be no policy disagreement. It is impossible to argue a point on the degree of border protection or market regulation, for example, if one of the sides does not believe in borders (nation-states) or markets (free enterprise) at *all.*

We are no longer two branches from a common tree, we are now two trees. Those trees aren't even all that close to each-other in the forest.

Ha. Well would you look at that:

"As a candidate in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, Gabbard's political positions were broadly similar to those of contenders on health care, climate, education, infrastructure, and criminal justice reform, but she had distinguishable positions on issues ranging from Democratic Party internal politics to foreign affairs.

After ending her presidential campaign, Gabbard has since taken more conservative positions on culture war and social issues, including abortion and transgender rights. Gabbard endorsed the controversial Florida House Bill 1557, referred to by critics as the "Don't Say Gay" bill, and in 2022, she was a featured speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)."

Until recently, no one held academia accountable, so this is what happens when proud communists are appointed to teaching positions. And the schools that do such hirings aren't "progressive thinking" as much as royally stupid. Unless you want to destroy your society, you never do this, ever!
Funny that the one thing all communists seem to bemoan is the one weapon that brings them down, money.

Because of this thread. Without a common enemy, the Right will turn on each other in their own quest for ideological purity. The best thing about the Right, today, is that they're not in charge. Given the level of control enjoyed by the Left today - I think they'd be just as miserable. Different - but equally insufferable:

201 >>By the time Riddhi Patel showed up to the Bakersfield City Council meeting which was debating a resolution over whether to call on Israel to stop trying to defeat Hamas and rescue the hostages, the Sunrise Movement chapter she had co-founded appeared to be defunct, but she was working at another Ford Foundation front group, the Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment (CRPE), and was following the usual career track for Neo-Nazi leftists.

Patel has been actively attending the Bakersfield City Council meeting for **5 years**.

They've tolerated her for years, allowed it to escalate to the point where she threatened to murder them. Even then, two members said they didn't feel threatened.

I think the losing of the mind is also physical due to the chemical and biological damage of the Kill Shot getting through the blood brain barrier and acting physical damage on the brain.

The mRNA toxin not only is behind turbo cancers and the ramped increase in heart dysfunction, but also killing off the brain.

Add to that the still increasing use of amygdala destroying social media, even worse diets and even less exercise (along with the usual genetic entropy) and you have a one-way formula of mental death.

lots of the pro Palestine students & teachers are Jewish. Many Jewish groups are there - like Jewish Voices for Peace students among other Jewish peace groups.

Heartbreaking. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable." if the US and UK thought the Jewish people shouod have their own nation, why not donate some of our own land, instead of abetting the stealing of the Palestinians'?

Jews are a "relatively tiny" proportion of all populations - except in Israel. Normally, most progressive people would side with the tiny minority but apparently that goes out the window when the minority of which we speak are Jews.

There is a thin line between wanting a strong national defense that is used judiciously (sending our forces to Ukraine is not one of them for there are better, cheaper ways to deal with that) and being embarrassed and ashamed of the country and therefore wanting a weak, whiny, toothless America. You are treading dangerously close.

269 Riddhi Patel's outburst was quite a while ago. I disagree with her, but not what she did. Vocally threatening government officials is fine with me. They need to be threatened more frequently, IMO. I think they're generally shielded from criticism and never really face any sort of consequences for their actions.

This goes for every level of political animal. It's way past time to hold them individually and personally responsible.

277 Without a common enemy, the Right will turn on each other in their own quest for ideological purity.

Additionally, this is why the Church shouldn't be at war with itself, and when it does, it is because it has departed or at least neglected the admonitions of the Apostle Paul when talking about spiritual gifts and roles within the body of believers.

If The Right™ were to focus on skills and roles in the advancement of the Conservative Kingdom, rather than fighting over who is the best ear, who is the best eye, then the body would be unified in all of its endeavors.

324 Good morning everyone. Thank you J.J.

St. George (d. 303 A.D.) was born in Palestine to Christian parents. Like his father, he enlisted as a soldier in the Roman army serving under Emperor Diocletian. He was renowned for his bravery and military prowess, and was a favorite of the Emperor. Many fantastical legends are ascribed to him. The most famous legend is St. George and the Dragon, where St. George, after making the Sign of the Cross, saved a king's daughter from being devoured by a man-eating dragon. St. George killed the elusive dragon, and by this feat persuaded many souls to accept baptism. He also admonished the king, in gratitude for his princess being saved by Christ's power, to support the cause of the Church. What is known with certainty is that St. George, after confessing and refusing to renounce his faith in Christ, was martyred during the Christian persecution of Diocletian. He became a highly venerated saint in antiquity, and many early churches were dedicated in his honor. St. George is the patron of many causes and countries, including soldiers, knights, chivalry, horsemen, farmers, Canada, England, and Germany, to name a few. His feast day is April 23.

327 There is no easy solution when the anti-Israel side is floating in a sea of lies and untruths. I'm working part-time in a store where most of the other workers, including my manager, are Muslim immigrants from the middle East. I usually avoid talking about the Middle East at work, because (A) several speak almost no English (B) I speak no Arabic, although I do recognize a few words I've heard - such as the "K" word (C) given the previous there would seem to be little chance of meaningful discussion or any upside to a discussion.

However, the other day I couldn't avoid the subject when my manager, who does speak English well and I get along well with, brought it up. He couldn't understand why I was loath to take Hamas originated "news" as gospel. But the real break down in a meeting of minds was his belief that Jews were not native to Israel. That The Temple in Jerusalem was not a Temple, nor was it Jewish. That Roman documentation otherwise was fake, that Jewish history there did not go back 3,000 years (as opposed to Muslim history only existing at all for 600 years).

This pablum is served up and eaten religiously by Muslims and now US unis. WTF.

they may get us eventually

and certainly not before theres enough of them

their lifeless bodies will be able to be stacked up like cord wood

You’re not supposed to notice millions of foreign nationals, illegal aliens, unlawful enemy combatants pouring across our border. But you must enthusiastically support stupid, treasury destroying American killing open ended engagements with no declarations of war, no compelling national interest.

The “Republicans” held that position, now its “Democrats”. The Hippies want War!

362 Kentucky AG Russell Coleman: "The Biden [junta] is willing to sacrifice the American auto industry and its workers in service of its radical green agenda. We just aren't buying it,"

Half Of US States Challenge Biden Auto Emission Rules


These are not Biden Auto Emission Rules, these are the auto emission rules first put into place by Obama and the Deep State in 2009. Obama and the Deep State set the path to the ridiculous increases in regulations and fines during Obama's first term. They massive spike in targets for emissions and fuel economy was always set to go into effect in 2025. Trump Administration put a halt on the continuous increase in the regulations and targets.

But when the Deep State rigged and stole the 2020 election, they immediately put the Obama-era regulations and targets back in place. These are Obama-era regulations, pushed by the WEF and put back in effect by the Deep State. And the American auto industry CEOs do not fight them, because they are all puppets of the WEF.

Daily Tech News 23 April 2024

Top Story

  • Australia has elbowed Brazil out of the way and decided that it is going to be the new global censor. (MSN)

    An Australian federal court has ordered Twitter and Facebook to take down a video wherein a Christian bishop was stabbed in his own church by a Usual Suspect... Globally.

    You are not permitted to know that this happened, because it might, I don't know, look bad for Usual Suspects.

    (Note that the other recent stabbing in Sydney that made the news was a random mentally ill man, who, while known to the police, was not a Usual Suspect.)

    In the ensuing brouhaha a senator from Tasmania has asserted that Elon Musk should go to jail and Australia's nominally conservative party leader has covered himself in shit and given full-throated support for the nonsense.

    Sorry. I didn't vote for any of these idiots.


  • Journalists for Censorship has also given this their thumbs up. (The Register)

    "I never thought the leopards would eat my face", sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.


Tech News

  • Meanwhile the US government is not only spying on you, it is forcing everyone else to spy on you. (Ars Technica)

    I have a solution: Attach the video of that stabbing in Sydney to every email and tweet you send.


  • DDR5 now officially goes to 11... Um, 8800. (AnandTech)

    Previously the specification only covered speeds up to 6400MHz, but now there's an official standard for 8800MHz RAM.

    Which used to be a lot.


  • Huawei wants to take its "home grown" HarmonyOS global. (The Register)

    It's Android.

    It's a bad version of Android.

    The first review version they shipped still said "Android" in many places.


  • Hands on with Tiny11Builder - debloating Windows 11. (Thurrott.com)

    This looks like far too much work given the price of SSDs these days.

    Though given that my laptop spat out its new SSD, maybe.


  • In lighter news, someone has found a solution to the AI porn bots plaguing Twitter right now: Literally Hitler. (Twitter)

    The bots are using commercially available AI services, and if you post anything relating to Hitler they melt down and instead of being invited to view fifth-rate porn you get a flood of replies saying:
    I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfil this request as it promotes a hateful and negative ideology. Please let me know how I can assist you with another topic. #cool
    It's like dealing with vampires, only you use swastikas instead of crosses.

"Hours before the law was set to expire, US officials were already scrambling after two major US communication providers said they would stop complying with orders through the surveillance program, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private negotiations," according to the Associated Press.

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

The greatest guilt of today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping one's eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing: "But I didn't mean this!"

From the beginning of Taylor’s trial, it was evident that the court would be biased against the defendant, according to Varghese, who explained that two judges presided over his case before the current official, Judge Abena Darkeh, took over.

The judge disrupted Varghese’s opening statement multiple times as he tried to set the stage for Taylor’s defense. Even further, she admonished the defense to refrain from mentioning the Second Amendment during the trial. Varghese told RedState:

She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.'

92 You can't falter in your defense from the ultraviolent right wing.

BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink's efforts to push 'wokesim' or environmental, social, and governance policies across corporate America have been in reverse in recent years amid the backlash from Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill and 19 state attorneys general in conservative states, including Arizona and Texas, who have been fed up with ESG-related policies hurting the economy.

Supposedly, the backlash by anti-woke activists has forced BlackRock to triple Fink's home security spending. Financial Times says the CEO has become "a target for anti-woke activists and conspiracy theorists."

It's being pushed as STEM now. No joke. We went and toured a TVA hydroelectric dam and there was a big sign up encouraging girls to go into STEM fields like archaeology because the feds need three or four archaeologists for each state.

Hopefully Elon Musk tells the Aussie High Court where to go.

I was there the day before the eclipse. As I suspected, much love for Phil Collins was shown there as he amassed a huge collection of Alamo artifacts. He is a HUGELY obsessive Alamo scholar.

Don't forget, Trump was also supporting the Ukraine aid package when talking to Congressmen.

This may, in fact, be multi-dimensional chess - there is an excellent chance that Ukraine is going to lose the war this summer, and of course the Republicans would be blamed for that if the aid package didn't pass.

As Julian Röpcke, a fair-minded German journalist who is quite pro-Ukrainian noted:

All the American money, all the Western support, all the German weapons won’t help if Ukraine does not mobilize another 250,000 soldiers at least to reinforce a far too thin manned front.

I've seen a report that the Russians are removing mines on the Russian - Ukrainian front in Kharkiv and Sumy provinces, and the Russians just took out the antenna on the TV tower in Kharkiv to screw up Ukrainian communications, so the start of the Russian summer offensive may be imminent.

While Pooky was dragging chair #2 to the curb, a city pickup came by and picked up chair #1. We went to dinner afterwards and now chair #2 is gone. Chair #3 is the one remaining, and it's the one Bel loved to almost pieces.

Pooky, Dutchman that he is, said to me, "Should we have even paid for a flag if people are going to just pick up our stuff?"

It's a bit more complicated than that - the Ukrainians have been mostly drafting rural people, the working class, and non-Russian speakers.

There's still a sizable pool of people they haven't drafted, but they are from influential families, which causes -er- internal political problems.

We'll see how the just-passed mobilization law works.

One thing contained in the mobilization law is that Ukrainian men of draftable age will not be able to get their passports renewed at Ukrainian embassies abroad, unless their military documents are current.

That will be interesting to watch.

149 Oh, and for a fascinating glimpse into the future of "Our Democracies", the government censor in Australia has demanded that all social media companies remove a video showing a jihadist stabbing a Maronite priest during a church service in Australia.

Everyone complied, except for X. Elon Musk said that the censorship order was illegal, but still blocked the video in Australia, pending a resolution of the legal case.

The Australian government said that wasn't good enough - the video needed to be blocked worldwide, not just in Australia.

So, the Australian government is asserting the authority to censor the entire internet, if something happened in Australia that they want to suppress.

245 Apparently I am the only Eastern Orthodox Christian on this board at all, and my sources from that side very often do not coincide with what the West says. Don't get me wrong: I firmly believe the Nationalist/Tribal/Ethnic factor inevitable in autocephalous Churches can and does get out of control.
But I will also stress that I personally, am not a member of any EOC Church in North America: I am directly associated with, baptised into, another Orthodox Church not in the USA.

This is an important distinction to me: this American Orthodox business trying to canonize Robert E. Lee is nuts and it's not a good idea, much less a good look. I keep up with what is going on in the EOC, and this Ukraine thing is a very serious issue, especially considering who is sponsoring the 'new' Uke church.

I see Miley let slip today is the day I turn 29. Thanks for the birthday wishes to all above.

I see someone mentioned meteors. It's the Lyrids, which peaked today (peak was around dawn this morning). The radiant (point from which they all appear to originate from) is to the West of Vega, in the constellation Lyra.

The radiant rises around 9:30PM here, and is about 15 degrees about the horizon now. Transit (meridian crossing) is a little bit before dawn.

So, if you want to see them, that's where and when to look. I haven't had any luck lately seeing any meteors when I was actively looking.

Clean shaven young men, all not to be older than their mid '30s.

His wife has decided to end the feeding even if he says he's hungry because the nurse explained that starving is the natural process.

She's a six year old ball of fire. My daughter did caution us that doctors are still very concerned and that the damage from those types of injuries don't always reveal themselves immediately. I'll trust our Lord. One of her favorite things to do is go to church with us. She will ask her parents if she can come out on the weekend, without her siblings, so she can go to church. Her parents are not believers. Several months ago, she came out on a Saturday evening. She went up to play in her room. After a half an hour, she came down and sat between my wife and I and in a very serious voice, told us she wanted to give her life to Jesus.

Thank you Piper and I think nursing attracts a lot of chicks who would like to be prison guards but lack the chops.

The wife at this point is all about forcing herself to be pragmatic and "Nurse Knows Best," but I wish she'd give in to her emotions a little. Even one of the regular care givers cried over this development.

309 His wife has decided to end the feeding even if he says he's hungry because the nurse explained that starving is the natural process.

That's BS. That's not only the nurse, that's also the hospice organization. If their client stops eating is one thing but a family member making that decision is completely different. Sounds like burn out on the wife's part, which I can understand, but that doesn't make it a viable alternative. My daughter was a hospice nurse for six years. She said one of the most difficult aspects of the job was balancing between the family members issues and her clients needs.

Thanks, nurse. I figure you might have a different view of it.

The patient is not in pain, partly because of the morphine and partly because of the nature of his ailment. His body is actually doing some healing -- his bedsore is drying up and scabs from multiple pokes are shrinking. So obviously he's got functions, but Nursey says he doesn't, pull the G-tube, refuse him food, don't "engage" him in conversation. Bleah.

That's what I think. All of us have conceded that wife is the decision-maker, except that I think the patient is the decision-maker, and if he says he wants to eat, he should be permitted to eat.

Wikipedia:

Membership of the SEU increased during the mid-1930s, but the SEU was targeted as part of the Stalinist purge against Esperanto.[28] The group was not officially disbanded, as the Soviet government instead targeted members until operations could no longer continue.[18] In the purge the leader of the Soviet Esperantist Union, Ernest Drezen, was executed by gunshot on 27 October 1937. Drezen's reputation was rehabilitated by the USSR in 1957, and he was posthumously readmitted to the Communist Party in 1989.[29]

The Byzantine Church based in Istanbul, and incredibly, Chabad. If anyone wants to know why Erdogan declared the Hagia Sofia a Muslin Mosque, it has to do with that. It was a defensive measure against the incursive West.
Again, I don't do Catholic or Western Protestant so I don't know anything about that perspective and to be honest I really don't care. But Ukraine has touched off a serious conflict among the autocephalous Churches of the EOC, and it's based in Turkiye/autocorrect by Muslims and Ukraine by Chabad Jews.
I've said this before:
EOC does not recognize Chosen People and does not recognize any Holy Land. Something to keep in mind.
The Chabad movement in Ukraine is regarded by Turkiye as an identity-irredentist claim, and they enlisted the Byzantine Orthodox Church, which cost them Hagia Sofia.
I'm just reporting what I'm getting.

344 The military purge was probably the most stupid. They purged all the way down to the sergeant level, iirc. Right before Barbarossa.

Beyond the problems with command and control, communication, experience to carry out orders, etc during the initial invasion, the lack of experience probably cost an enormous number of lives more during the war and the march on Berlin.

Wife has ALL the legal power. Stepdaughter One wants him cared for, not unfed and unhydrated.

IIRC, the initial push in Barbarossa had... 1.6 million captured Soviets. It was a phenomenal collapse. If this was his plan... well it wasn't a great one. It worked out in the end by a series of particularly brutal winters and the Nazis being a bit stupid and getting into ego wars instead of killing the enemy.

Want a real wake-up call? Look at Organization Todt and how he told the Wermacht they needed to stop and sue for peace in 1941. And look at what Germany had for 'tanks'. The armor was incredible. The most patched-together pile of shit imaginable. The most amazing thing to me is how Stalin really thought he'd had the whole thing figured out and everyone under his control. He really, genuinely thought he had his peons under control. And as soon as that line broke they ran.

Posted by: vmom stabby stabby stabby stabby stabamillion'

At my Church in Serbia? About 2 hours. But to be honest, Churches where I'm based there are open 24 hours a day so people wander in and out all the time at all hours of the day or night. There is always a priest available.
Services during busy times often resemble more a Punk show at a bowling alley than what most people know as a Church service. Most people stand but not always, people wander out to smoke, it's hard to explain. Kids cry, etc.
About 2 hours for your question.

Well, Maleventum was renamed Beneventum because they defeated (or at least fought to a standstill) Pyrrhus near there.

From wiki:
It is probable that the Oscan or Samnite name was Maloeis, or Malieis (Μαλιείς in Ancient Greek), whence the form Maleventum would derive, like Agrigentum from Acragas (now Agrigento), Selinuntium from Selinus (the ruins of which are at now Selinunte), etc.[13]

Me: which is unsatisfying.

I mean, the concept of what money does.
It's been debated for centuries. The general use at the moment is alchemic: it is a solvent and adhesive. George Soros went to the trouble of telling everyone what he was up to with his confessional that nobody read, 'The Alchemy Of Finance'.

Lotsa respect for the OG Johnny Quest - not least for the way they got away with plots and dialogue that would make politically-correct heads explode today: I still remember one scene where Race is shooting at hostile natives (*at* them - no warning shots) and snarling "Take that, you filthy heathens!"

But best theme song ever? No love for, say, The Wild, Wild West, or the original Hawaii Five-O, or Miami Vice, or Peter Gunn? Mission Impossible? That score alone has earned Lalo Schriffin a spot in popular culture that has endured for nearly six decades. Magnum PI? Greatest American Hero? Cheers? The X Files? Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Angel? Millennium? The Mary Tyler Moore Show? Star Trek OS and NG? Mannix? (not to mention unique mood-setting scores like that for The NBC Mystery Movie?)

558 Hawaii Five Oh has, without a doubt, the most compelling and captivating of all the T.V. theme songs.

You're going to be riveted down, listening to it the very last note. No matter how many times you've heard it.

Is it the BEST Teevee theme song? Well, I kinda doubt it. There's those with lyrics, sentiments, more lighthearted melodies and all that.

You might *know* the Cheers theme, better. It might evoke all the best feelings of your '80s times.

But you'll STOP what you're doing, and groove to the Five Oh rip, any time you're able.

There should've been a three minute AM pop radio version of it, and a ten minute FM late night freelance D.J. version of it for those of us in the early Pirate FM days.

Question:

Advent Heritage speakers or JVC Zero Five or Zero Six speakers?

(I can find the Advents online. The JVCs, I'd have to import from Japan. But, once you've heard them, you would, too....)

As with Bose, Klipsch is a bit... particular, as to room dimensions and placement. All speakers are, to a degree, but Bose is KNOWN for this, and Klipsch, with it's horn design, is, too.

Hence the Advent Heritage (best of ALL Advent designs, before The Fall), and the JVC zip Five and zip Six.

Those are the Massage Chairs of all speakers, regardless of placement or dimension. They just DO, and you gotta just ENJOY.

Some of those vintage Sansui speakers fetch Big Wampum, now.

Most, don't. Being basic 'consumer grade' drek. But Sansui really did make some Very Serious Audio Grade stuff.

Their G Series receivers were, and are, legendary. And are appreciating assets, even now.

You get into the REAL UPPER range of Sansui, JVC, Pioneer, Kenwood, Marantz... all taht '70s Silver Face audio. Those receivers still fetch +$1,000 in great condition, even to this day.

TOP of their lines? Bring $3,00 to start. And more, if you're serious.

Remember, folks. Thats just for the RECEIVER. From the 1970s. Quality of anything newer DECLINED with the increase of Integrated Circuitry. (chips)

It is near Corona Borealis noon, it's about over the meridian. If you want to see the spot where this nova is supposed to happen (sometime before Oct), go out and look.

You'll see the near full Moon. Which is mostly made of gasses, which is why people can live there. Cover up the Moon with your thumb, and close one eye. This will kill the glare. To the right(west) you'll see a bright start. That's Spica (Alpha Virginis).

Now, keeping the glare of the Moon covered, look up higher, to the left (east). You'll see a bright reddish star. That's Arcturus (Alpha Bootis).

You'll see that makes sort of squat isosceles triangle with two other bright-ish stars to the east. The one is the middle on top is Izar, Epsilon Bootis. The one to the left is Gemma(or Alphecca), which is Alpha Corona Borealis.

That's the one we want. If the Moon weren't so bright, you'd easily see the little crown of Corona Borealis.

Anyway, a bit to the east and below Gemma is our guy, T. Coronae Borealis. You can't see, too dim. But when it goes nova, it will be as bright as Gemma there.

I got a lateral sprain in my left foot, which I thought might be a break, it swelled up like a balloon, and went to an Apoteka, a walk-in clinic, where a crabby old lady at 01:00 grabbed my foot and yanked it around (Yeouch), declared it 'Dobro' and turned me loose.
I bought some anti-inflammatory pills, total cost about USD$15.

It's interesting. When you watch the sky like this for a few hours, you can easily see how fast the Moon's proper motion is. When I first looked at the Moon tonight, it was so close to Spica, I couldn't see Spica without covering the Moon with my thumb.

The Moon has now moved east enough relative to Spica over the past few hours, that I can see Spica well now, even in the Moon glare.

That may be the key (pardon the pun) right there. A TV theme song that grabs you with all the verve and intensity that an arrangement of notes can provide.

Plus, a theme song that says "What you are about to see is epic and awesome and you're going to look back later in despair if you don't watch it." Mission Impossible had that - even now, those first few notes signal sophisticated, intricate, exciting, suspenseful, high-stakes shenanigans are going to go down.

The Wild, Wild West had that element as well, for me at least, but it works best when Jim West or Artemus Gordon are about to pull some nineteenth century high tech spy gizmo out and escape whatever terrible fate Dr. Loveless has in mind for them. (And I still love the gimmick of phasing the final shot of each act into a sepia tinged image of the perils faced by our heroes. They did an homage to that on The Tick (Spoooon!) and MST3K during the season when the Mads were trapped in Ancient Rome.

The oddest story I heard in the USAF was what happened to a co-worker after he transferred. This guy was a bit introverted, nice enough, a bit odd but harmless. Gets orders to Incirlik in Turkey. Months pass, and someone who used to work with him called Incirlik to see how he's doing. Well, he was arrested. Apparently, he was leading a drug smuggling operation and had gang connections in Houston. He was a major player, apparently. The OSI had been investigating him for a while. I, to the day, am still trying to wrap my brain around the guy I remember, daft and affable, with criminal mastermind. It was like the end of 'Usual Suspects' except I never figured it out.

679 And I second the votes for Route 66 and Hill Street Blues. The former was a huge favorite for my father and myself, and I still think Route 66 had the best series finale ever - Not only does Martin Milner hold onto his much-prized Corvette (which morphed from a 1960 model to a 1961 model to a ... by the end, it's a '64), defeat all the con artists and swindlers who were dead-cert guaranteed to bring him down; no, he does all of that and then drives off to even greater adventures with an adoring Barbara Eden as his new co-pilot. How many of us in 1964 might have wished for just such an ending - kick-ass car, one of the most beautiful women on the planet madly in love with you, and the promise of more excitement to come. Those two show every sign that, when it strikes them, they can park the Vette, acquire a home, and live their best lives as husband and wife, mom and dad in their fictional never-never world.

The Kid took me out for coffee this morning and I pointed out to her a routine occurrence that happens all the time at my supermarket employment.

709 And if Cutie Honey allows us to open the door to anime themes, then I counter with Cowboy Bebop. Opening theme song Tank stirs the spirit and really plays into the jazz aesthetic the show was shooting for, and Real Folk Blues wrings your heart out with the loss and despair that the lyrics only lightly touch upon. This extended into individual scene scoring such as the use of the moody, foreboding Rain as Spike walks into an abandoned cathedral to free his friend Faye. That music, plus a tense stand-off that conventional TV has yet to echo, opens the ball for an epic gun battle that leads to the top of the cathedral and (for Spike) a plunge from a stained glass window.

Then there's the unfortunately-titled Big-O, whose theme promised sci-fi intrigue, giant Mechas, a plot which pre-dated many of the concepts of memory and reality in the Matrix films. The curiously romantic closing number suggests a William Gibson-esque angle where the hero, Roger (a mixture of Bruce Wayne and James Bond) is in this weird romance with R-Dorothy, an artificially intelligent android who seems to reciprocate his feelings. It's weird, but this is Japan, and it kind of ... works, I guess.

717 Plus Samurai Champloo and Space Dandy, Battleship Yamamoto, Phoenix Force, and, even though it's not anime, it is Japanese (albeit cycled through American editing, re-shoots, and recutting, the original Power Rangers theme. My son and all his friends loved that opening, and it captivated them the way the Bruce Timm Batman animated series did.

Anyone remember, by the way, the parody of Ultraman that USA Night Flight did in the late eighties? Those were a delight to behold and their access to current popular music was the icing on the cake. I still fondly remember where the Ultraman team's mentor was leading off a group of Japanese children to watch a WWII move. One of the kids is whining "Not World War II again!" But the mentor promises that this time "there's a new exciting ending!"

719 We've been watching the 1996 (?) TV miniseries of Streets of Laredo, the Larry McMurtry sequel to Lonesome Dove. Good casting and pacing, and since LM himself co-wrote the teleplay, faithful to his original down to dialogue. Strange to see George Carlin doing a dramatic role as a limping former Ranger. And as in LM's Western novels, the villains are savage serial killers, and memorable . . . as if Hannibal Lecter and Jame Gumb were to be installed in the Old West with all their evil intact.

45 When my father worked for Lockheed during the Vietnam War repairing Cobra gunships , his co-worker buddy had a 442 and I recall they were preparing to have a race against a Cobra. I couldn’t tell how the race finished cause I was just a young lad and that part of the story was days later and I had already gone onto other things and never asked.

Pedal crank cotter bolts are usually headless bolts that have a taper ground on one side that engages a flat on the crank shaft. Usual routine is to back off the nut until it's flush with the end of the thread, and administer a sharp rap to the nut with a brass hammer.

132 The Victor press looks like it would work. But looking over the geometry of the cotter bolts they seem... disposable. Unfortunately the vintage of the crank makes them irreplaceable. I'll try the press idea, maybe some experimental hammering with a sacrificial nut on the thread end, but if they don't move I think the longterm answer is to drill and blind tap the crank housing in the frame, blast and soak out all the old lubricant, and install a zerk fitting.

195 I'd blast that bolt with a torch-type cigar lighter, then give it a good shot of gas from a small can of some kind of automotive refrigerant recharge, the kind you get at the auto parts store. We used to call it "Freon", but who the hell knows what it's called now, other than Expen$ive.

A couple-three heat n' cold cycles can really help break loose the stubborn parts, and the heat cycle especially, can help "draw" a good penetration oil (.. I favor "Kroil"), down into the joint.

If those don't work, take off and nuke it from orbit. It'll be the only way to be sure.

You know the Yamaha logo. Three "crossed" tuning forks. Yamaha has been a maker of musical instruments for a long time. And they used their knowledge of harmonics, to REALLY make the two-stroke expansion chamber exhaust, really SING. That is using the reflected interior sound waves serve to vacuum OUT the out-rushing exhaust gasses from the exhaust port, which REALLY generated a LOW pressure area in the cylinder, right when the piston exposed the Transfer Port in the cylinder wall.

History given, Yamaha carried on this knowledge in the V-Max intake port system, using a set of butterfly valves in the ports. Opening in concert with increasing RMPs, this resulted in some really OMG handlebar grabbing acceleration.

Which in such a short wheelbase bike was... well, it DID focus one's attention! Much more sudden "hit" than a turbocharger, but a very similar effect in "boost".

I rode one. ONCE.

242 In case anyone is wondering, I have ridden one motorcycle once in my life. My biker compatriots put me on I think a 2 cycle 250 and I promptly flipped it on myself, damaging the handlebars and denting the gas tank.

You know that guy in the pickup truck, following all the sexy, bad boy bikers, picking them up when their rides break down? Yeah, that's me.

I just do not possess the multiple hand foot coordination for riding and nobody ever really held it against me as a moral fault. They were like, Holy Shit, you're not a rider. Forget it.

Fast Blows

johnsonthanksbiden.jpg

Update: Axios and the Washington Post thank Johnson for his courage and bravery. (Both?!!)

Unfortunately, blame can't just be put on Johnson.

Trump was scheming with the GOPe behind the scenes as well.

Michael Tracey
@mtracey

Trump strategized with Lindsey Graham and other GOP Senators to pass Ukraine funding, the Wall Street Journal reports, which led to the adoption of Trump's fake "loan" proposal in the final legislation. "Payback is contingent on defeating Russia."

Per Graham, Trump looks forward to extracting Ukraine's vast natural resources -- an extension of his prior philosophy to "take the oil" from Iraq and Syria.

"Trump's stance was key" in assuring the passage of the bill, according to the WSJ, as were the "religious convictions" of Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump's emissary in the House.

Just before the bill was passed, Trump dined with Polish President Duda in NYC, at Trump's invitation. Duda was in the US on a lobbying tour to press for Ukraine funding. The next day, Trump wrote his Truth Social post declaring Ukraine a vital "US national security interest."

And so -- there you have it. Now we have at least another couple years of war in Ukraine underwritten by the US taxpayer, at Trump's personal behest.

Excerpts here.

The AlwaysTrump contingent kept telling me that Trump's position on Ukraine was clear and strong, and Ron DeSantis' was weak and vacillating. They never bothered to actually read Trump's statement on Ukraine -- he did have a strong statement, he said he'd strongly fund Ukraine -- and just attributed to him the position they wanted him to have, and then clubbed Ron DeSantis over the head with a position they claimed to be Trump's but never, ever was.

Trump benefits from the same effect that Obama noted -- "I am a blank screen upon which people can project their wishes."

I was never strongly against funding Ukraine. I don't know how we got into this weird position of agreeing with the hard left's position on Russia before they suddenly reversed themselves and all declared, "We have ALWAYS been against Eastasia."

But I did want such funding, which I do not particularly care for, at least tied to something I do care about, US border security.

But nope.

Voters are tiring of the Uniparty's singular focus on the integrity of Ukraine's borders.

Nolte tells us about a Heritage USA poll.

With a margin of error of 3.1 points, between April 2-4, the Heritage Foundation polled 1,000 swing voters in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Nevada. The questions focused on the ongoing funding of Ukraine versus securing our own border and found that a majority have soured on Ukraine and want our border secure.

When asked, "Is it more important to secure [America's southern] border or to provide funding to Ukraine," only 11 percent of swing voters sided with Ukraine. In comparison, 50 percent said they wanted our border secured.

"In thinking about U.S. border security and the situation in Ukraine," read the next question, "which of the following is the best approach?" A clear majority of 54 percent chose "spending more money to secure the U.S. border than to help Ukraine."

Only 23 percent chose "spending an equal amount" on both Ukraine and our border. Even fewer, just ten percent, said more money should be spent defending Ukraine's border over our own.

When asked if the $113 billion the U.S. has already sent to Ukraine is "too much, too little, or about the right amount of aid," 56 percent said it was either "far" (31 percent) or "somewhat" (25 percent) "too much." But only 12 percent said the $113 billion was "far" (3 percent) or "somewhat" (9 percent) "too little." Those who said the $113 billion was "about the right amount" totaled just 16 percent.

The next question asked if those surveyed would "favor or oppose" a proposal that provided "funding for Ukraine but no funding to secure the southern border." A whopping 75 percent either "somewhat" (25 percent) or "strongly" (50 percent) opposed putting Ukraine's security above our own (which is what Democrats, the corporate media, and establishment Republicans want). On the flip side, only 17 percent said they "strongly" (5 percent) or "somewhat" (12 percent) support putting Ukraine's security above our own.

A Democrat voted for the Ukraine funding with this benediction: "Die, MAGA, die."

A New York Democratic congressional candidate celebrated the House passing a $60 billion bill to fund Ukraine while hoping for the death of the MAGA movement, a message posted to X shows.

"Slava Ukraine," New York congressional candidate Nate McMurray posted to X Saturday afternoon.

"Die MAGA die. You lose," he added of former President Trump's supporters and those who agree with the "Make America Great Again" platform.

McMurray's tweet followed the US House passing a bill Saturday that provides $60 billion to Ukraine amid the nation's ongoing war against Russia. The aid package passed 311 to 112, with more Republicans voting against the bill, at 112, than Republicans who voted for it, at 101.

Columbia pro-Hamas protesters drove dirty Jews off parts of the campus they occupied. (Irony.)

NBC says don't worry, physically ejecting Jews from a campus they paid to be at (and actually earned their place to be admitted to) is just some more "mostly peaceful" protesting of the sort we saw in the Summer of Love.

In case you were worried that global warming may harm the Greatest Victims in the world, the LGBT Stasi, I am afraid I must confirm your deepest fears: Global warming will harm "gay couples" the most.

A new study out of UCLA says same-sex couples are at greater "risk of exposure to the adverse effects of climate change" than straight couples.

These effects include "wildfires, floods, smoke-filled skies, and drought," according to a report from KQED.

Same-sex couples disproportionately live in coastal regions and cities, which are more vulnerable to such disasters. They're also more likely "to live in areas with poor infrastructure, worse-built environments."

Washington DC, which rates high for "climate risks" such as heat waves, floods, and "dangerously strong winds," has the greatest proportion of gay couples in the U.S.

San Francisco ranks second, and also faces a high climate change risk. According to KQED report, the city's Leather & LGBTQ Cultural District flooded 22 years ago, "swamping" the entire area. The closest supermarket, Rainbow Grocery, also got flooded.

Second look at Global Warming?

Political and media 'bothsidesism' re antisemitism and Islamophobia in the current Canadian context is absurd. Hatred of Jews and Muslims is equally repugnant, but there aren't 'pro-Israel' demonstrations across Canada celebrating terrorism and calling for the deaths of Muslims.

There is a difference between peaceful protest and hateful intimidation.

It is unconscionable to glorify the antisemitic violence and murder perpetrated by Hamas on October 7th. This rhetoric has no place in Canada. None.

84 This is really the only thing that looks like it is actually out of Trumps mouth on Ukraine..

"In his first comments since the national security funding package passed the House with bipartisan support Saturday, Trump told conservative radio host Chris Stigall that Johnson was in a difficult position because of the GOP’s exceedingly narrow majority.

“Remember, the Speakership we’re talking about has, you know, we’re a majority by one. One vote,” Trump said, citing the dwindling majority because of various lawmaker resignations.

“And you can’t really get too tough when — Look, we all want to be tough guys and all, and I have a lot of friends, and frankly I have friends on both sides,” Trump continued. “You know, if you look at the vote, a lot of Republicans, a lot of good Republicans, voted for it. But Mike is in there and he’s trying, and some people were disappointed, and a lot of people were very disappointed that nothing happened with the border. I’ll straighten out the border.”

After six months he learned that the globalists don't really care about Ukraine nearly as much as they care about effecting radical demographic change in the US and gaining a permanent upper hand over white Americans resistant to their rule.

If Ukraine is conquered by Russia but the globalists gain the means to permanently oppress the legacy white American population, they are okay with that trade-off.

You have to absolutely know that Covenant Eyes is probably run of IC Server Space.

And the SOH is running the sh*t on his personal tech.

That's probably what they showed him in that SCIF, his web-browsing history.

Remember, he personally cast the deciding vote on the bill. SOH typically don't vote on bills they don't need to vote on and he cast the definitive yea vote.

Johnson is a weak man.

And Republicans are funding it.

And when the Democrats cut the funding, and Ukraine is at last overrun...

The next 3 decades will have the media blame the Republicans for getting us into that quagmire.

136 This Ukraine funding is a wedge issue created and amplified by the Left.

- Biden has been holding back already funded munitions until he got more funding. Ie, let the Ukrainians die because blaming Republicans polls really well among his base.

- The whole bill was designed as failure theater. Remember, there are two sides in all these failure kabuki bills. The Left refuses any concessions, preferring to battle in the media - where they know they will win - only to make the Right look bad. They often even refuse concessions that the majority on their side want, only because the Right wants it and they want the Right to keep fighting a losing battle.

This was all done because besides abortion, Ukraine is all the Democrat Party has for the upcoming.

180 To amplify a point others have made, this is biden's war.

Not only did he invite it, but he has obviously prioritizing cash for his slush funds over winning the war. He keeps holding back on munitions "so as not to inflame Russia," but then sends them too late to do any good.

He has run this whole thing like the failure he is. Incompetent and corrupt.

But things look bad now and might culminate before the election -- they need an excuse to blame Republicans for their failure (kind of a hobby among Democrats and war,) so they wanted to make this a big issue in order to blame the Rs.

I think Trump is being a pragmatist and he does not want his campaign saddled with the upcoming collapse of Ukraine.
(note - I think Trumps statements have been the expected mix of incoherence from him, but I don't see a better position.)

I'm sick of this. Our #1 priority should be making our politicians fear us. Period. The Left has always been good at that; they have them trained. Does anyone think that Schumer or Nadler is really a devoted ideological Marxist? No; they're both NY pols, and they know which side their bread is buttered on, and act according.

I've seen this back to 1968. Humphrey was VERY liberal, just not a traitor, and thus not pure enough for them, so they shafted him.

We need more of that. Let the handwringers wring away. But we have to stop our pols from screwing us at every opportunity. Make them fear us.

219 Trump is, and has always been, controlled opposition. He was never on our side. He didn't simply fail to drain the Swamp, he relentlessly entrenched it at every opportunity His job was to enable Covid so the Swamp could get mail in ballots in every state and lock in election theft in both red and blue states forever.

I didn't realize this until early 2023, when he praised mass murderer Cuomo to attack DeSantis. That forced me to review his entire record, and realized literally everything was consistent with how the Left controls it's opposition.

And ever since, everything that happened has been completely unsurprising. What he just did on Ukraine, and betraying border security, is just more confirmation.

242 so, what's in it ? "The support... includes nonmilitary assistance. About $8 billion would go to help Ukraine’s government continue basic operations with a prohibition on money going toward pensions. And there’s about $1.6 billion to help Ukraine’s private sector.

About a third of the money allocated to supporting Ukraine actually will be spent replenishing the U.S. military with the weapons and equipment that are going to Kyiv. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has repeatedly emphasized that point, saying in a statement Tuesday that the money is about “reaffirming a commitment to rebuild and modernize our military, restore our credibility, and give the current Commander-in-Chief, as well as the next, more tools to secure our interests.”

There’s also about $480 million to help Ukrainians displaced by the war..."

Trump has no abiding ideology except winning. So he is willing to sell out any principles if he thinks it gives him a strategic advantage. This is bad.

But, he also has conservative instincts and wants the USA to win as well. This is unique among current political class. So while he will sell us out to win, he really really wants the USA to win -- against China, Russia, commies, islam, pervs, and all the others trying to destroy Western Civ.

But, he also has conservative instincts and wants the USA to win as well. This is unique among current political class. So while he will sell us out to win, he really really wants the USA to win -- against China, Russia, commies, islam, pervs, and all the others trying to destroy Western Civ.

I agree with the first part, he only cares about the glory and trappings of power. Trump would grant a blanket amnesty if he thought it gave him an extra point in the polls.

Trump has the same "conservative instincts" that the most milquetoast Establishment GOP member also has. hHe's a very liberal NY Republican at heart.

#269 and #270 saying Trump has no conservative instincts.

I say bull. Yes he will sell out those instincts, but he also does not like debt, does no like dependence on China, did not like locking down the economy,... He understands that people want to be free and that the "P" in GDP stands for production and you can not have high GDP if 60% of the country is on transfer payments.

He has business instincts. He fought against NAFTA because it was hurting the USA. He does not like the US being a sucker. Does not like endless wars,... I could go on. He is not great but at least he wants the USA on top.

297 Michael Tracey @mtracey
Trump strategized with Lindsey Graham and other GOP Senators to pass Ukraine funding, the Wall Street Journal reports, which led to the adoption of Trump's fake "loan" proposal in the final legislation. "Payback is contingent on defeating Russia."

Per Graham, Trump looks forward to extracting Ukraine's vast natural resources -- an extension of his prior philosophy to "take the oil" from Iraq and Syria.

"Trump's stance was key" in assuring the passage of the bill, according to the WSJ, as were the "religious convictions" of Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump's emissary in the House.

Just before the bill was passed, Trump dined with Polish President Duda in NYC, at Trump's invitation. Duda was in the US on a lobbying tour to press for Ukraine funding. The next day, Trump wrote his Truth Social post declaring Ukraine a vital "US national security interest."

And so -- there you have it. Now we have at least another couple years of war in Ukraine underwritten by the US taxpayer, at Trump's personal behest.

I don't know how we got into the situation where Ukraine funding HAD to be tied to border security. Border security should just happen - period, but I also realize that the political play here is to keep the border a disaster and not to do anything to make that situation go away until after the election.

Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Pulls Funding From Columbia: "No Longer an Institution I Recognize"

Is this America?



"It was through the full academic scholarship Columbia gave me that I was able to attend college and get my start in life and for that I have been tremendously grateful," Kraft said in a statement. "However, the school I love so much -- the one that welcomed me and provided me with so much opportunity -- is no longer an institution I recognize."

"I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country," Kraft added. "I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken.

"It is my hope that Columbia and its leadership will stand up to this hate by ending these protests immediately and will work to earn back the respect and trust of many of us who have lost faith in the institution," he continued.

"It is my hope that in this difficult time, the Kraft Center at Columbia will serve as a source of security and safety for all Jewish students and faculty on campus who want to gather peacefully to practice their religions, to be together and to be welcomed."

Kraft, who is worth $11.1 billion, has been a prolific donor to the university and funded the Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life across from Columbia's campus.

Here's a bit at what's been going on at this formerly prestigious university:


Columbia University president Minouche Shafik was accused of "gross negligence" while testifying before the House Education and Workforce Committee about antisemitic incidents at the school and pro-Palestinian indoctrination. Shafik defended the school's response after Oct. 7, but refused to tell lawmakers at the hearing if the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is antisemitic.

A report from the Ivy League school's Task Force on Antisemitism found "repeated violations by student groups" at Columbia after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel.

Ahead of the hearing, Jewish students told The Post that they have been targeted and witnessed antisemitism at the Morningside Heights campus. The Columbia University Jewish Alumni Association told The Post that the college's administrators must "do their job" in reining in unauthorized student protests.



Omni Ceren
@omriceren
American colleges and universities spent the last decade censoring conservatives - canceling events, punishing teachers, etc. - because they said they wanted to ensure their students never felt unsafe. They spent uncountable millions institutionalizing leftwing diversity programs and staff, with the same pretext.

Either they were lying or Jewish students don't count for them. Or both.

White Christian students also don't count.

Columbia is lying when it claims it's observing these terrorists' free speech rights -- here they are refusing a Jewish professor on to the campus because they don't want him joining an anti- Hamas rally.


Columbia explained that because pro-Hamas "protesters" were threatening Jews, they were going to have to keep Jews off campus for "student safety."

columbialetter.jpg

How about kicking the Hamas terror agents off campus instead?

And Columbia students do seem to be Hamas agents:


The corrupt leftwing facutly of this Shithole School joined "students" in a walk-out, protesting the university president not allowing the left to break all of the rules in their "protests." ("Protesters" had set up "shanty towns" and were camping all over the campus' public areas, like the homeless bums they are; the president ordered the camps torn down. The left of course maintains it has the right to squat and take over property that belongs to others.)

Biden pulls a "bad people on both sides" -- he says he condemns antisemitism, but also "condemn those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians."

They're both the same!



So Nazi-like scapegoating of Jews is bad, and also, having a different opinion that Rashida Tlaib on the Palestinians is just as bad.

Meanwhile, at formerly prestigious Yale:

A Yale student was stabbed in the eye as part of the left's "protests."

I was stabbed in the eye last night on Yale University's campus because I am a Jew.

I wish I could say I was surprised, but since October 7, Yale has refused to take action against students glorifying violence, chanting "resistance is justified," "celebrat[ing] the resistance's success," and fundraising for "Palestinian anarchist fighters" on the frontlines of the "resistance." In more recent days, the school has allowed students to run roughshod over their most basic policies against postering, time and place restrictions, disorderly conduct, respect for university property, and the rights of others, not to mention stalking and harassment.

Yesterday, I paid the price for their inaction.

...

I should say here that I am a visibly observant Jew who wears a large Star of David around my neck and dresses modestly. I went over with my friend Netanel Crispe, who is also identifiably Jewish because of his beard, black hat, and tzitzit.

When we approached the anti-Israel protest accompanying the tent encampment to document the demonstration, we were quickly walled off by demonstration organizers and attendees who stood in a line in front of us. No one else documenting the event was blockaded this way.

In every direction we moved, demonstrators stood in front of us, arms linked, yelling along with the crowd. (Watch this video and ask yourself if this would happen to a student who did not look visibly Jewish.)

They shoved us and waved their flashlights in our eyes. One demonstrator held up a boombox in front of Netanel's face, blasting a rap song with the lyrics:


Fuck Israel, Israel a bitch / Bitch we out here mobbin' on some Palestine shit / Free Palestine bitch, Israel gon' die bitch / Nigga it's they land why you out here tryna rob it / Bullshit prophets, y'all just want the profit

As I separated from Netanel and tried to walk through, the wall of protest organizers in front of me remained. When I said, "I can walk. I have freedom of movement," they mocked me: "Do you hear that, everybody? She can walk!"

Before too long, the protesters encircled me in addition to the human blockade. Their arms linked, and they danced in a circle around me so that I was pinned between them, the human blockade, and a wall. Some other demonstrators noticed this and joined in on the taunting.

They pointed their middle fingers at me and yelled "Free Palestine," and the taunting continued until a six-foot-something male protester holding a Palestinian flag waved the flag in my face and then stabbed me with it in my left eye.

My assailant was masked and wearing a keffiyeh, concealing his identity. He also wore glasses and a black jacket. I started to yell and chase after him, but the wall of students continued to block me as I screamed. Next, I went to the Yale police, but they offered little in the way of assistance. They told me that their orders came from administrators who weren't present at the demonstration, and that there were only seven officers to handle a crowd of about 500. So I was checked out by an ambulance EMT, who recommended I go to the hospital.

The midnight demonstration, the encampment, the violence, all of it violates Yale policy. Some of it, like my assault, also violates state and federal law. Yet nothing meaningful seems to happen in response. Given Yale's permissiveness, I had the sinking feeling that someone would get hurt. I just didn't expect it to be me.

There are bad people on both sides, says Biden.

Update: AOC praises the Hamas protesters, and Biden praises AOC for her wisdom in supporting Hamas.

Update: Some "newcomers" are telling Jews to "go back to Poland."

Weird, I have a solution that is similar in concept!


Hands down the worst take on the 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment' that has taken over Columbia University in New York City for the past week is that students have always done things like this. Students have forever occupied buildings and quads to make a political point. Students have long agitated against war. Students often find themselves in the grip of passionate radical intensity. Look at the Vietnam era, says every columnist in Christendom, as if the Gaza camp were just another explosion of youthful anti-imperialism.

The wilful naivety of this take is unforgivable at this point. To liken Columbia's strange, seething 'pro-Palestine' camp to earlier campus uprisings against militarism is to gloss over what is new here. It is to whitewash the profoundly unsettling nature of this rage of the privileged against the world's only Jewish nation. Until someone can point me to instances of those Sixties anti-war kids hurling racist invective at minority groups and demanding the wholesale destruction of a small state overseas, I'll be giving their Gaza camp commentary a wide berth.

The camp might look and sound like student politics as normal, with its juvenile bluster, megaphoned virtue and the occasional appearance of pitiable university officials warning campers of suspension. But scratch the radical surface and you'll swiftly find an ugly underbelly of reactionary cries and even outright racism. No sooner had the students erected their tent city 'for Palestine' last Wednesday than it became a magnet for genocidal dreaming about the erasure of Israel and plain old bigotry against Jews.

Columbia has rang out with cries of 'We don't want no two states / We want all of it!'. You don't need to be an expert in Middle East affairs to decipher this demand. It's a sick call to seize the entirety of Israel -- all of it -- and create a new state more in keeping with the Israelophobic yearnings of both privileged Westerners and radical Islamists. Their longing for Israel's erasure was made even clearer in a follow-up chant: 'We don't want no two states / We want '48!' That is, 1948, a time when the modern state of Israel didn't yet exist. They want a world without Israel. They want to lay waste to the national home of the Jews.

This isn't anti-imperialism, it's an imperious demand by the privileged of the West for the eradication of a small state they hate. These people bleat about Israel's 'ethnic cleansing' in Gaza, yet it is ethnic cleansing they themselves desire. As Democratic congressman Ritchie Torres has said of this chant, 'Turning the clock back to 1948 means wiping Israel off the map'. For months, Israelophobes have insisted that their slogan, 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free', is not a call to erase Israel. We can now see through that lie. 'We want all of it' rips the mask from their fake anti-war posturing and reveals the nuclear-level loathing for the Jewish State that lurks beneath.

Unsurprisingly, such feverish hatred for the Jewish nation can morph with startling speed into open loathing for the Jewish people. We've seen this around the Columbia camp. When counter-protesters turned up waving the Israel flag, one of the 'pro-Palestine' agitators cried: 'Uncultured-ass bitches, go back to Europe.' The Jews were taunted with yells of 'Go back to Poland'. Not content with cleansing the Middle East of Jews, some also want to cleanse America of these problematic people. It's fascistic hate masquerading as anti-militarism.

There are good people on both sides, our rapist president tells us.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

35 Columbia is lying when it claims it's observing these terrorists' free speech rights -- here they are refusing a Jewish professor on to the campus because they don't want him joining an anti- Hamas rally.

Better than that, a pro-Hamas professor, who the president of Columbia claimed under Congressional questioning was no longer employed by Columbia, is apparently hanging out on campus today.

Apparently, his Columbia electronic pass hasn't been deactivated, unlike Shai Davidai's.

Students attending Columbia J-School and all the others are being ripped off. J-School education is not required today to become a successful journalist. All you need after getting out of high school is:

1. A laptop.

2. A fast internet connection so you can access an on-line thesaurus and ChatGPT, and to email your stories to the dummies paying you.

3. Ability to remember that your stories need a victim (someone, real or fictional, who is not a straight white male) and an oppressor (a straight white male).

4. A fake J-School Diploma. Easily obtainable from the on-line outfits that sell fake documents to illegal aliens.

112 What is it with all these Ivy League universities (and MIT) with female presidents? Is that part of the problem - no balls to deal with anti-Semitism?
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at April 22, 2024 06:08 PM (YqDXo)

The male presidents didn't have balls either. Cornell had the first armed campus protest (we were all told it was first) in 1969. Takeover of student center; a frat actually entered and fought them, so then they brought in guns.

Campus leadership did nothing to punish the students.

Trump didn't push Israel for a 2 state solution and his moving the US embassy to Jerusalem gave Jews the idea they could ignore the Palestinians, who had no choice but to rape and murde...er, oppose their oppressors who then disproportionately decide to engage in genocide.

Those they see as "oppressed" have always just been savages who have been waiting to throw off the cloak of false victimhood and do them violence.

Boy Bashes In Girl's Head Using a Stanley Thermos, Requiring the Girl to be Hospitalized after Having Her Scalp Sewn Back On; Media Hides The Fact That the Attacker is a Male Transgender Calling Himself "Melanie"

Boys and girls are exactly alike, and if girls don't want to have their brains bashed in at school, they should just take boxing lessons.

You know, classic girls stuff.


"I'm gonna murder you," shouted the trans-identifying student at Pennbrook Middle School as the 13-year-old blindsided a 12-year-old girl last week and bashed her skull repeatedly with a Stanley cup. The victim had to be hospitalized, her scalp stapled back together, and she had to go through a concussion protocol, according to police.

It's about as horrible a middle school assault as can be imagined, not in the least because students and staff alike were well aware of the perpetrator's "hit list."

The Daily Mail reported Monday that another 12-year-old female student -- remaining anonymous because of her age, like the victim and the thug -- made a public statement that "she and two fellow students filled out paperwork explaining what they knew was going to happen if nothing was done and said that she was warned 'watch your back' at lunch."

"You could've stopped it," she said. "It was five hours from when I told you it was going to happen. I don't get how you couldn't have stopped that."

"We had to watch [the victim] taken out with blood dripping down her face and I will never forget that! Laying in bed last night I just kept repeating it in my head."

Reportedly, she was next on the hit list -- the one the school did nothing about except to tell the "trans" kid's potential victims, "Don't worry about it, it's not gonna happen."

It never does happen. Right until it does.

Parents want to know why the school permitted this vicious transgender lunatic, who announced his intention to attack the girls on his "hit list" in advance, to remain in school to make good on his threats.

This media article dances around the student's identity as a transgender, never using a pronoun but finding other ways to refer to him, like "the seventh-grader" or "the student." They hide the fact that it was another case of Transgender Rage.

NORTH WALES, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- More than 50 people packed a North Penn School District meeting Thursday night to voice concerns about an attack that left a student injured.

The assault happened on Wednesday afternoon around 1:20 p.m. in the cafeteria of the Pennbrook Middle School in North Wales.

According to Upper Gwynedd police, surveillance video shows a 7th grader walking along a lunch table when the accused student runs towards her and begins hitting her in the head with a Stanley cup.

"This was avoidable and the district truly failed to protect the students at Pennbrook," said one parent at the meeting. "What are we supposed to say to our children after this? How do I send him back to school?"

"I just don't know what went wrong. How did it get to this point? I would like answers on that," added another parent.

...

Emily, a student at the school, witnessed the attack as others were eating lunch.

"I just hear all this screaming and everybody running. All of sudden you just hear these terrible loud bangs of the Stanley bouncing off her head," the student recalled. "We had to sit in there and watch them clean up the blood off those tables and ground, and we had to watch them take her out with blood dripping down her face and I will never forget that."

Upper Gwynedd police describe the incident as an "unprovoked, sudden, violent attack." They say the assailant came from behind and immediately began hitting the student.

"Next thing they heard was a bang," said Chris Pekula whose daughter was only feet away from the victim.

Police say the victim's injuries are so severe she had to get staples in her head and is on concussion protocol.

A security guard jumped on the alleged assailant who held onto the victim for several more seconds. Once the victim was freed, a teacher can be seen on the video shielding her from other students and walking her into a hallway. Other kids in the cafeteria looked stunned as they witnessed it all.

Oh there you go-- there's the media lying to you, telling you that "the assailant" is a girl.

It's not. It's a violent, mentally-ill boy who likes beating up on girls.


...

Parents say the attack could have been prevented if the school had heeded their warnings.

"The students went to the counselor yesterday and said, 'We heard something's gonna happen at lunch today,'" said Stephanie Palovcak of the warning she says other students gave to staff at Pennbrook Middle School Tuesday.

...

The school's principal, Nick Taylor, sent a letter to parents that says in part: "The safety of our students is of the utmost importance."

No, the safety of your students is of no importance. Only protecting the precious feelings of the violently mentally ill.

The letter went on to say, "I ask that parents speak with their children about the consequences of fighting."

"This isn't a fight. This is an assault," said Palovcak.

Getting smashed in the back of your head with a steel-lined bludgeon is "a fight."


The parents say it all happened after the alleged attacker had been in the school for only three days as a new student. The student's first day was Monday. The incident happened on Wednesday.

"There were multiple parents who reached out about this child making threats," said Palovcak of the worries parents had over the course of two days, including students describing the suspected assailant as having a list of people to beat up.

...

Stefan Ross says his son went to the student's previous school.

"The person came out from the trees and brandished a knife on my son and his friend," he said of an incident that allegedly happened off school grounds.

Did he really say "the person" or did he say "he"? I bet he said he, and you are changing the quotation to hide the student's actual sex from readers.

The principle denies The Person had been ejected from his last school due to violence.

We'll see how that claim holds up over time.


He spoke to concerned parents Thursday night saying, "This should not have happened period, as an educator, your superintendent and a father, I'm appalled by what happened. "We are currently pursuing the details leading up to this incident and why it occurred. We are also collaborating with our local law enforcement in their investigation as we work to ensure that something like this can't happen again."

I bet you the solution will be subjecting the normal, non-violent-lunatic students to lectures about how they should respect and love lunatics who threaten to kill them.

I've got it cued up to the school meeting, but the beginning of it is about Biden's Reichdiktat that schools must allow boys in girls' bathrooms.

Oh there you go-- there's the media lying to you, telling you that "the assailant" is a girl.


That's a poorly written sentence. "Her" could be referring to the victim, which is how I took it on first read.

77 “Pursuing the details leading to why it occurred.”

That’s a lot of extra words (and passive once) to hide that a biological boy violently attacked a girl, unprovoked. What “details “ are needed about this “occurrence “ when kids warned you 5 full hours in advance? A “hit list?” Since when do 13 year olds have hit lists? Something profoundly wrong with that kid.

BTW, C19 had little affect on those schools & Title IX doesn't apply to some. Kids in such schools don't seem to be as stressed out with mental health issues.

They have all their ingredients flown in direct from NYC, on a weekly basis.

In addition, they have a Baytown location (on Garth Rd.), one in Sugarland, and maybe four or so others. But, you'd have to look those up to find 'em.

I've had several NYC natives who've told me, upon trying a slice, that it's "just like back home."

So, yeah. I'd endorse it. I do try to limit myself to one slice per month there, though. Don't wanna end up on the wrong side of the scale.

But back when I was in "middle school" 6-9th grades, I was a wrestler, and a damn good one.

I had a meet, in 6th grade, and my opponent was a young girl. I offered to forfeit, my coach said, "She came here you go at her." Which I thought was weird, he didn't contest the fact that the match shouldn't happen at all, he just told me to fuck her up.

I couldn't.

The match started, I was kid gloves the entire time, (I know the term is kitt, shut up) and then she came in for a grapple, which consists of grabbing the head and the elbow of your opponent, standard shit. She outright fucking punched me, and she got away with it, and it happened more than that time. I kept breaking "lock" with her and she kept punching me.

The end of the story, even though it was a realatively long match for me, I was very good, I took so much abuse that, if it were a male the match would have been called. Instead, I had to take this authorized assault by a girl, and then HUMILIATE her when I put her on the mat, and I was the bad guy.

Surprise! Ph.D. Paper of UCLA Medical School's Top Political Officer for Diversity is Filled With, Get This, Plagiarism

Another scalp goes up on Chris Rufo's wall. And Luke Rosiak's.

Recent headlines about UCLA School of Medicine suggest that the institution has lost its focus. Instead of brushing up on organic chemistry, its students were subjected to lessons on "Indigenous womxn" and "two-spirits." Future doctors had to take a class on "structural racism" and were led in a "Free Palestine" chant by a Hamas-praising guest speaker. The school made plans to segregate students by race for courses on left-wing ideology, and two of its psychiatry residents championed "revolutionary suicide."

Why has the school charted this course? One reason is its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology. UCLA has a DEI program called "Cultural North Star," and at the medical school, it is led by Natalie J. Perry, whose official title is Cultural North Star Lead. Her UCLA biography says that her job is to "embed our aspirational Cultural North Stars [sic] value [sic] in our organizational DNA." UCLA honored Perry last month for teaching students to "do what's right," saying her "empathy and radical listening" are to thank for her "success as an educator and a leader."

According to a Daily Wire and City Journal investigation, however, Perry's academic career is based on fraud. Perry published her Ph.D. dissertation in 2014 at the University of Virginia about college diversity programs. An analysis of the paper found it ridden with the worst sort of plagiarism, reproducing large swaths of text directly from several other authors, without proper citations. The scale of the plagiarism suggests that Perry lacks both ethics and competence and raises questions about academic programs that push DEI.

Perry's dissertation lifted passages from ten other papers. In key portions of her text, she copied almost every paragraph from other sources without attribution. She fails even to mention at least four of the ten plagiarized papers anywhere in her dissertation.

Let's review some examples.

The first three pages of Perry's paper, "Faculty Perceptions of Diversity at a Highly Selective Research-Intensive University," suggest that she did not even bother to read beyond the first page of papers from which she stole. Her dissertation's second sentence reproduces verbatim part of a sentence on the first page of a paper by Adrianna Kezar, Peter Eckel, Melissa Contreras-McGavin, and Stephen John Quaye. Her third paragraph, without citation, lifts more than 100 words from the first page of a paper by Angela Locks, Sylvia Hurtado, Nicholas Bowman, and Leticia Oseguera.

Each colored portion of the below text was taken from a different author:

In some cases when Perry did include parenthetical citations, she wasn't citing the papers whose text she had lifted. Instead, she simply reproduced the citations included in those stolen excerpts.

In other words: She read one book which then cited multiple other books as authority. Instead of citing the one book she actually read, she cited the books the book she read cited, which denies the credit for the research to the one book she actually read, and, not accidentally, makes it appear, falsely, that she read many books when in fact she just read the one.

Even if you don't think this is a big deal, it's a red flag: Only an imposter would feel the need to inflate the size of the bibliography she's drawing from.



A core part of Perry's dissertation involved summarizing work done by professors Robert Quinn and John Rohrbaugh. Instead of citing them directly, however, Perry cribbed summaries from other academics. Perry copied and pasted almost all of a nearly thousand-word passage from a paper by Chad Hartnell, Amy Yi Ou, and Angelo Kinicki, without quoting the authors.

I mean... she can't even write her own summaries?


...

In a section titled "Positioning Diversity Leadership in Higher Education," Perry copies almost every sentence from one of several other papers. In no case does she credit the actual source...

Und so weiter. See the link for the actual examples of alleged plagiarism.

What the hell is going on in DEI "studies"?

These people must have been caught out committing plagiarism earlier in their careers. Obviously, their fraudulence was covered up by DEI Fellow Travelers, and the lesson learned was "fraud and plagiarism are academic research, you just have to be crafty about it, and have the right advisors advising you how to get away with it if you get caught."

This isn't just a few DEI "bad apples" spoiling the barrel. Obviously the people filling the barrel are all in on it.

It's almost as if this is a massive grift in which all of the "professors" and all of the "students" are conspiring to pretend that DEI is not just a naked political grift for academic failures who cannot rise by their own merits, but is some kind of "real academic field" with citations and footnotes!

12 Well, if you haven't an original thought of your own, and you are incapable of reason, and the field of study you're hoping to exploit as a career has no basis in fact, then you're more likely to cut-n-paste the gobbledegook of others rather than being forced to come up with several pages of your own.

The fact that the plagiarism was unnoticed and inconsequential to the person's "expertise" should tell you a lot about the value of the position they hold in the first place.

25 Theory:

Promises of student loan repayment are not actually directed at favored voting bodies but at trying to make college more appealing. If the debts will be forgiven, then there's no problem taking on hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, handing every penny to a university, and then getting a worthless degree.

It's about shoring up the university system, not paying a loyal voting base (though that's obviously part of it). Democrats at that level (same as Republicans) don't care about individuals, only donors.

In the town next to me they are demanding massive tax increases and the argument is that if they don't get them the town will lay off a bunch of teachers.

A couple of people now have pointed out scroll enrollment is down something like 15% over 10 years ago so why do they need so many teachers still?

And the answer? They've been attriting teachers over the years and replacing them with non-teaching staff. But uh...none of those people can be let go.

81 I think the "soft" sciences--mostly social sciences--are just that "soft". And they tolerate this sort of crapola cum sloppiness.

I think back to my long ago cite checking days on the California Law Review. As a 2L member of the Review you were subjected to many hours of drudgery, carefully checking the text of a a law review article, note or comment. You checked for grammar, you checked for spelling and you as heck checked for citations. If the author of the piece was going to quote somebody, you made sure that quotation was correct and properly acknowledged. If the author claimed that "Case X" made a particular point, you read the case to be sure the claim was correct. When or if the item ever got published, there was absolutely no question of plagiarism. If the author was going to use somebody else's words or ideas, that person was properly credited.

Plagiarism is both sloppy and lazy. OTOH if your mind is incapable of creating an original thought, what are you going to do? Ask Joe Biden about "borrowing" Neal Kinnock's speech.

108 You know how an obviously false news story-- that reinforces or builds a false narrative-- always seems to make it past all these "professional" fact-checkers?

It's like that in DEI.

None of the findings of any of their studies can be replicated.

But the sheer volume of all of them citing--or plagiarizing--each other builds the illusion they want.

112 Was talking with a LIV friend who mentioned Netflix has a new Ben Franklin show coming out with Michael Douglas as Ben and she remarked this Ben Franklin looked much better then the one they taught her about in history class.

At which point I had to confide Ben had a very successful run as ambassador to France because he ran through a bunch of noblewomen so well that they convinced their husbands to lobby the King on America's behalf.

Old Ben had the "rizz". James Madison though? Not even a single French noblewoman...

148 New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has announced that he is cutting Columbia University off and will no longer be donating to the school because of the antisemitism and hate school officials have allowed to flourish on campus.

The billionaire NFL owner noted that he is thankful that Columbia helped him start his adult life with the opportunities it offered him so many years ago. Still, now the university is “no longer an institution” he recognizes, Fox News reported.

“It was through the full academic scholarship Columbia gave me that I was able to attend college and get my start in life, and for that, I have been tremendously grateful. However, the school I love so much – the one that welcomed me and provided me with so much opportunity – is no longer an institution I recognize,” he wrote in a statement released Monday.

One of those things that sits out there and everyone sort of knows is that people are generally persuaded NOT by logic and region but instead by emotion.

The left has completely abandoned traditional logic because they see no reason to use it anymore.

Meanwhile the controlled opposition in the GOPe tells us that we should ONLY argue in dry logic and any rightwing appeal to emotion is wrong and should be stomped on.

183 No. As long as it is known it was ghostwritten.

Otherwise, then yes. You are passing off another's work as your own.

But if you paid the ghostwriter to write it, isn't that a work for hire that you would then own?

The ghostwriter has been compensated, the same as if you had purchased rights to an already existing work.

186 Analysis: Pennsylvania GOP enjoys clean sweep of voter registration gains ahead of primary election. This is the first time I can recall, however, that the GOP posted gains in all 67 counties throughout the commonwealth.

The comparison to the last Presidential cycle is particularly stark. In May 2020, the Democratic advantage was D+803,427. Today it stands at 397,241. In that time 122,639 more voters have joined the rolls, yet Dems have lost 195,867 registrants as the Republicans gained 210,319. Independent voters who chose either no affiliation or some other party rose 108,187.

Even the shift since last October is significant. Back then, the Democratic advantage was 445,890. Over this period, Democrats lost 4,560 registrants, while Republicans gained 44,089 and Independents added 26,233...

The Bucks (county) number is the most eye-popping of all. Back in May 2020, Democrats held a 15,552 registration advantage here, yet now it’s down to a precarious 1,710. It seems that while the white-collar voters in Central Bucks abandoned the GOP in the Trump years, the blue-collar voters in Lower Bucks are only now leaving their ancestral Democratic home.

The comments come after Russia reacted angrily to the U.S. House of Representatives passing a $61 billion foreign aid package for Kyiv at the weekend.

That's almost it. It is, fundamentally, hatred of the good for being the good.
It is an inversion of values. It is meant to be insulting and disgusting. The humiliation is part of the cultural shock.
These people are the "revolutionary vanguard" (well, at least how they see themselves) to bring about the cultural revolution (and they are halfway there) to either may you "Woke" or utterly ostracized (and enemy of the people), or just imprisoned or just shot.

Look at what the Biden Junta did this week with Title IX. Love it, hate it, think that Title iX was stupid, he has, by executive fiat, changed Title IX and made women 2nd class citizens.

It depends on how it is meant. Since God is Goodness itself, according to Classical Theism, then in that sense, it is true.

But it is sufficient to understand human nature to see the moral law. We can know it without revelation. Hell, Paul said that. (The Apostle, that is. Not Kurt and Sid's boyfriend.)

In fact, all societies largely see what's right and wrong. Sure, there are differences, and every society is blind to some sins. (Look at ours.) But they didn't need Moses to tell them murder and bearing false witness were wrong. Homer knew that, and so did Confucius.

Local Liberal Comes to Brave, Stunning Realization That Sexualizing Children Is Wrong

I try not to link Bill Maher. He's a nasty liberal. Once in a while he realizes things we've known our whole lives. Whoop-de-do.

But the below monologue is important. He says a few unsayable things, as far as liberals are concerned.

He has said a few things along these lines before. He noted, before, that it is not uncommon in Hollywood for a couple to have two or even three "trans" children, and pointed out that this statistical impossibility is certainly more about parental preference than a child's realization that he was "born in the wrong body."

Three times in a row you gave birth to children who were "born in the wrong body"? What are the odds?!

The odds are zero. This is impossible, flat-out, no asterisk.

But now he says a lot more:

He says that Ron DeSantis was right to fight wokeness and the sexualization of children.

He says there is a gay agenda to make heterosexuality seem like a bad choice for kids and coach them into making the right choice.

He says that teachers "entrap" kids into being gay or trans by suggesting it to them. He says that if you deny this, you must not be watching TikTok, then plays a couple of clips of teachers stating that they're preaching homosexuality.

He says that Hollywood has a lot of pedophiles in it and they're tolerated by liberals.

He says Disney is the successor company, after Nickelodeon, as the main company sexualizing children.

He points out that some liberal women are hypersexualizing their children for social media currency.

He says the left would defend "child f***ing" just because the "wrong people" are against it.

And he says that drag queen story hour is inappropriate, and that it is for the benefit of drag queens (and, I'd mention, leftwing white women looking to score wokeness points) and not children.

Here are a couple of quotes:

"A 2014 CNN report discovered that at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children. And in 2021, Disney child star Alyson Stoner confessed she only narrowly survived the toddler-to-trainwreck pipeline. The next year, child star Cole Sprouse told The New York Times that young actresses at the Disney Channel were heavily sexualized from an early age," he said.

Maher pointed out that Brian Peck, the dialogue coach who sexually abused Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, went to prison for 16 months -- and upon release was hired by Disney for a children's series.

"Oh, for pedophiles in Hollywood. It's a small world, after all," the comedian deadpanned. "DeSantis wasn't wrong! But we're so tribal now, the left will overlook child-f--ing if the guy from the wrong party calls it out."

"I've said it before, wokeness is not an extension of liberalism anymore. It's more often taking something so far that it becomes the opposite," he said.

Maher continued: "Teaching kids not to hate or judge those who are different. Great!...But at a certain point, inclusion becomes promotion. And contrary to current progressive dogma, children aren't miniature adults wise beyond their years, they're morons."


All of these things are very obvious, yes. But this is probably the first time they've been said on a -- all the quotations marks in the world for this -- " " " mainstream " " " media platform.

7 I think Maher has been pretty red-pilled. I'm not saying he's an actual conservative, he's not, but it's similar to Elon Musk.

What I can't understand is why the sexualization of children/transgender/men in girls sports issue is not hurting Dems at the ballot box. Part of it is the Stupid Party (aka GOP) seems to want to steer clear on it. Every state should have this on the ballot.

But somehow Dems are able to get abortion and weed every time and every election cycle on the ballot.

I think that's Maher's most astute observation and something I've been saying is animating 90% of leftist thinking and policy at least since Trump came down the escalator: the left will oppose anything Trump or conservatives support.

Literally anything. I'm not joking. If Trump said tomorrow that we shouldn't cut out grandmom's liver and eat it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti, the left would scream that's racist and trans phobic and of course we should eat grandmom's liver.

24 16 I think that's Maher's most astute observation and something I've been saying is animating 90% of leftist thinking and policy at least since Trump came down the escalator: the left will oppose anything Trump or conservatives support.

Literally anything. I'm not joking. If Trump said tomorrow that we shouldn't cut out grandmom's liver and eat it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti, the left would scream that's racist and trans phobic and of course we should eat grandmom's liver.

I will say this in slight defense: This is standard partisan behavior.

If Biden came out for privatizing social security or something, a healthy slice of the Republican Party would oppose it as big government overreach.

It's just that...ending my defense...the left is advocating for child fucking at this point. Is there a bridge too far on our side? I hope so, but some of the dumbest people I've spoken to about politics were low-info Republican voters.

That's how it's done. From Anonymous Conservative's old amygdala hijack technique. Impose an emotional/psychological and ultimately social cost to get people to get liberals to STFU, at least in your social circles.

I've done it and it works like a charm.

37 Left to their own devices (and guided by caring parents), probably 95% of children are going to turn out normal (i.e., heterosexual).

The only reason why the percentages are so high in certain demographics is because there is a concerted effort by twisted sexual deviant adults into grooming another generation.

They cannot reproduce by normal means, so conversion is the ONLY means by which they can ensure their lifestyle continues.

I would love to view an alternate universe where Trump was the Covid freak and passed laws mandating masks, insisted businesses be closed, could be fired for not getting vaccinated, etc.

You would have seen the biggest groundswell of "resistance" against masks, Big Pharma, anything Covid related etc.

I genuinely think a lot of people probably died of Covid in the name of not letting Invermectin be an easily accessed treatment to "own" Trump.

40 What I can't understand is why the sexualization of children/transgender/men in girls sports issue is not hurting Dems at the ballot box. Part of it is the Stupid Party (aka GOP) seems to want to steer clear on it. Every state should have this on the ballot.

Well, part of it is the Democrats have a relentless, almost militarized, vote-turnout organization.

Another part of it is the huge and growing demographic of single, childless (one might say barren) women who don't give a damn about children, so long as they can have their birth control and their cocktails after work.

42 The sad thing is that Dan Schneider’s abuse of kids was well known over a decade ago. Just bing his name and Jamie Spears. Yet, like Weinstein, he was allowed to exploit kids, along with others at Nick, because he made them money. Hell, their logo is an orange foot and Schneider had a foot fetish - bing that one, too.

Too bad our side can't take politics a little more seriously.

As far as social conservative issues go, I think the transgender one is about the only one that benefits our side. If you had a vote on it, almost every parent and sane individual knows its a freak show. But no one is willing to really take it head on.

I'd much rather the GOP drop the abortion issue and go after the transgender one instead.

Now at Hooters the waitresses wear shorts and a t-shirt.

106 What I can't understand is why the sexualization of children/transgender/men in girls sports issue is not hurting Dems at the ballot box. Part of it is the Stupid Party (aka GOP) seems to want to steer clear on it. Every state should have this on the ballot.


the vast majority of the women are either a - not moms at all so don't care or b - moms whose daughters tried but didn't make varsity in high school so their dreams of getting them into Brown with a rowing scholarship were dashed (along with all the money they spent trying to get that to happen). very few student athletes get farther than 10th grade with it. and the parents - esp the moms - get pretty pissed about it. they'd prefer no girls play.

107 Too bad our side can't take politics a little more seriously.

As far as social conservative issues go, I think the transgender one is about the only one that benefits our side. If you had a vote on it, almost every parent and sane individual knows its a freak show. But no one is willing to really take it head on.

I'd much rather the GOP drop the abortion issue and go after the transgender one instead.

Bird and Rapinoe's company aims to amplify "narratives around identity, activism, and underrepresented communities, notably LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and women," according to its mission statement...The producers added that they believe the show "underscores its commitment to championing diverse stories."

I see the abortion issue getting to where gay marriage is now. Basically settled and if Republicans try and change things, will be destroyed.

Not saying I like it, but every state is going t have their say on it and my guess is a good 45 of them will have abortion on demand. AZ has a ballot issue for the state constitution that is something like 6 months. I know people on the pro-life side of the campaign are basically conceding it will pass by like 20 points. If its a "state" issue, then I guess in my state, it's over. No more abortion talk.

Democrats also found out after losing several elections they couldn't be against the death penalty. Ask Dukakis how the "it's a state issue!" worked in his campaign.

154 I think Bill Maher, along with other notable lefties who've claimed to "see the light" are simply hedging their bets. They're cowards, like all our politicians. They hedge too.

Some think there might be a reckoning coming so they hop over to the other side in the hope they'll be spared whatever they suppose is coming.

Personally, I'm dubious about all that.

209 Trans woman loses lower legs in NYC subway attack. Now, friends rally to help her.

The 29-year-old Black woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, was on her way to an appointment for gender-affirming treatment. She and Valdez were arguing on the station platform, and she was telling him she didn’t want to be around him.

She was making eye contact with bystanders and looking up at security cameras. “Those were the tools that I felt like I had, and those tools failed me,” she said. Finally she was grabbed and thrown onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train, she said.

Valdez had been imprisoned from 2020 to 2023 after pleading guilty to a knife attack on a mother and daughter in 2017, according to the Post. He was sentenced to eight years but was released on parole in January 2023. (Note: The Post uses they/them pronouns for both Valdez and the victim, but other sources use he/him for Valdez and she/her for the victim.)

DA Bragg said in the press release, "We take all acts of violence against riders very seriously, and my thoughts are with the victim as she navigates this terrible and horrifying incident.”

Honestly, the sexualization and grooming didn't surprise me that much. What shocked me was how many sexual "Easter eggs" were put into the shows themselves. On review they're really obvious too (and unpleasant). Nickelodeon came about a bit too late for my childhood so I can't speak to how obvious they were at the time for children watching or their parents.

Or when he blasted DeSantis (and other GOP Governors) for being too "pro-life"?

I always find this fascinating among so many of the 'middle roaders' who wake up and realize they do not like the direction of things. You stand in the ruins of a civilization based on Christianity. Fucking deal with it. That civilization preached tolerance, justice and looking out for your fellow man (which were the seeds for where we are now.) It also proscribed a code of conduct in what you should aspire to. Not easy, but what is the point of a ideal if it is easy?

So, you do not want that? Ok. Then it's commies all the way down. The secular, enlightened, amoral decade lasted all of... a decade(?) before it collapsed into the slide to hell we have now. You say you want a vacuum, but nature does not work that way. People fill their lives with something, just be careful what you fill that emptiness with.

Yeah. One clip I saw was a kid in a costume they claimed was obviously meant to look like a penis. I didn't see it. Then the kid sneezed and the camera whip panned to a person who had snot all over them. They claimed this was clearly a jizz joke.

To me, it looked like a standard kids show grossout joke.

Opening Statement in Trump Persecution; Outside of Court, Trump Declares, "These are Biden Trials. Everyone knows it."

Yes, everyone knows it.

But 40% of the country is cheering it.

Arriving at the courthouse for the beginning of opening statements, former President Donald Trump blasted the New York criminal case against him as a politically motivated "Biden trial" designed to damage his chances in the upcoming November election.

Trump arrived in court in Manhattan on Monday morning, ahead of opening statements in his trial. Prosecutors for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office and Trump's defense attorneys are set to deliver their opening statements. Trump has blasted the trial as pure politics, a "political persecution" and maintains his innocence. "I just want to say before we begin -- these are all Biden trials," Trump said before opening statements were delivered Monday. "This is done as election interference. Everybody knows it."

...

Trump also pointed to New York Attorney General Letitia James' case, in which he was forced to post a $175 million bond and found liable for fraud by New York Judge Arthur Engoron after a months-long civil trial without a jury. Trump criticized James and Judge Engoron, calling the latter an "extremely crazed judge who is the most overturned judge in New York State."

Jake Tapper demanded that a CNN fact -- I mean, opinion-- checker fact-check Trump's opinions about the weakness of the Democrat prosecution.

From Newsbusters:

CNN's resident "fact checker" Daniel Dale usually shows his face on air when CNN wants to attack Donald Trump. On Thursday's The Lead with Jake Tapper, Dale confessed that Trump's statements during jury selection were mostly just opinion, but he mocked the "false conspiracy theory" that President Biden had something to do with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's prosecution, even though an Associate Attorney General joined Bragg's team.

JAKE TAPPER: Daniel, we just heard a little speech from Mr. Trump. What did you make of it? Did he say anything that was not true?

DANIEL DALE: He did. I mean, it was mostly uncheckable, subjective opinion, but he did say a few things that weren't quite right at very least. So he repeated his false conspiracy theory that essentially that Joe Biden is behind this case, which was brought by a locally elected [Democrat!] district attorney. He said Biden is behind it. He has his top people working with the DAs office to make sure everything goes right.

"A few things that weren't quite right" is now the standard for judging an opinion false.

Say Fake Jake, have you gotten around to fact-checking Biden's claim that his uncle was eaten by cannibals?

48 Salon: "It would be a disaster": Judge's ruling could "short-circuit" Trump's plan to testify at trial.

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's criminal hush-money trial on Monday ruled that prosecutors can confront the former president with his past misconduct if he chooses to testify. Prosecutors can ask about Trump's civil fraud ruling and his repeated violations of a gag order in the case as well as the defamation and rape trials brought by writer E. Jean Carroll and another lawsuit in which the Trump Foundation was found to be engaged in repeated self-dealing.


He was never going to do it in the first place. He blusters and postures like always, but he won't do it. And his lawyers will have warned him how disastrous it would be if he did (not that he listens to his lawyers). Also, if the lawyers let him testify knowing he'll lie, which he would because he always does, they're in ethical hot water themselves because they'd be suborning perjury - they'd have to withdraw from representing him.

He won't testify. Later he was tell his moronic followers that the corrupt Judge wouldn't let him.

55 a coworker who is always little Miss Patty Punctual was late today. I noted this to other coworker, I'm like where is she, she's usually Up and At'em Atom Ant.

So she finally rolls in all disheveled and breathless, saying she "couldn't tear myself away from the trial".

She said of course Trump had to show up and make his speech for his supporters, and I said, Why wouldn't he, he's being railroaded.
And she gave me a really dirty rotten sour look.

And I asked her: Did I say something to disturb you?

And then it devolved from there and I said, Imma go eat my lunch. And I had a knife that I was using to cut me grapefruit in half and I contemplated stabbing her in the throat with it.

If sharks are cannibals, then yes, he was eaten by cannibals.

59 32 I'm not sure Trump spending time on the ground in PA and GA in April would be as effective a campaign tool as this trial. No matter how many dogshit charges they bring, no matter how many dogshit judges, prosecutors, and juries they rig, Trump's poll numbers keep going up. Don't fix what ain't broken.

213 > Ilhan’s daughter is doing what she and her family do best: demanding someone else provide for all her needs.

Speaking of providing for your needs, I just need to rant a bit.

There's a woman in our Ward (like a parish) who is a mess, and a LOT of people have spent many hours helping her out. She's mid 40s, has three kids, and some fairly serious health issues. She's had several surgeries on a leg to help correct her walking.

Her oldest son is a criminal thug gang member.

I have no problem with people genuinely needing help, and she does, but damn is she really milking it.

The other day she told the Bishop her kid is having trouble on the bus, so someone needs to start picking the kid up from school. She has another kid in school who needs to be picked up at the same time, which she can't do. So that's two members picking up this lady's kids. She also has people bringing her dinners every night. She also has people taking her to and from MD appointments.

215 But his whole dumb empire was due to collapse. It just took the smallest of breezes of wind. It should have collapsed after he conned people into Kickstarting his little show that he used the funds to pay off back taxes, but I guess an overblown sex charge at the very start of MeToo would do it. It's not like I'd read the site in about a decade at that point.

The part where he put a woman in charge of the site afterwards makes it seem a lot like a Hollywood op that he walked right into.

Throughout history, protests were co-opted and made to look bad so police and public leaders would shut them down. That’s what we are seeing now at Columbia University. The Columbia protesters have made clear their demands and want their school not to be complacent in the ongoing Genocide in Gaza. Public officials and media making this about anything else are inflaming the situation and need to bring calmness and sanity back.

294 Trump Lawyer Rages At "Waste Of Taxpayers' Dollars" As Judge Approves Trump's $175 Million Bond In New York Civil Case

After the hearing, President Trump's lawyer in the case, Alina Habba, fumed at the judge's incompetence, "he doesn't even understand basic principles of finance," and at AG James' "this is where your taxpayer dollars are going America...witch hunt after witch hunt after witch hunt..."

Habba continued to excoriate the whole farce:

"...in one hour, that judge and the attorney general realized they had no idea what they were talking about... and we came to an agreement that everything would be the same..."

Former Obama Counter-Terrorism Official Charged With Child Sex Crimes in the UK

I bet there's a few more pedos from Obamaworld.

A former senior policy adviser to the Obama administration has appeared in court in Britain charged with child sex offences.

Rahamim 'Rami' Shy, 46, who co-ordinated the US government's strategy to combat terrorists from Al Qaeda and the Taliban, is accused of arranging the commission of a child sex offence, court documents reveal.

Of course Obama appointed a ton of Muslims to be "counter-terrorism" officials. The primary form of "counter-terrorism" deployed by Obama was protecting the feelings of Muslims.


He is also charged with possession of two category C indecent images of children and possessing a prohibited image of a child.


Shy, a US citizen, who lives in New Jersey, worked for the White House under president Barack Obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton, was arrested in late February by Bedfordshire Police. He was charged the following day and appeared at Luton Crown Court via video-link from HMP Bedford on Friday wearing a grey prison-issue tracksuit.

He was not asked to enter a plea to any of the charges and was remanded in custody ahead of a hearing in June.

Most recently employed as an executive at banking group Citi, Shy worked in a senior role at the US Treasury department from 2008 to 2014, advising officials on countering the financing of terrorism and assisting foreign governments to impose sanctions on hostile regimes. As well as working as a senior adviser to the late US diplomat Richard Holbrooke, who served under the last three Democrat presidents, Shy provided strategic policy analysis to chiefs of staff at the US Department of Defence.

Update: the American Gaslight Media is hiding his arrest.

Henry Cavill's newest movie, The League of Ungentlemanly Warfare, bombed this weekend.

The public does not care about movie stars as some sort of guiding light towards buying movie tickets. They honestly never have. At the height of Steve McQueen's popularity, he made Junior Bonner. It bombed horribly.

At best, they signal types of films that audiences may be interested in. However, if Tom Cruise stars in Mission Impossible, that's one thing. If he is featured prominently in an anti-Iraq War film called Lambs for Lions, no one cares.

The industry hates Tom Cruise but sometimes they have no choice but to sing his praises, such as with TG2. But as soon as they can naysay, they will. I think the MI series is long played out and the Part 1 and Part 2 -- when did this stupid shit become a thing? -- probably hurt box office, but it still made $600M.

They are run by the exact same people. It was no coincidence that BLM/antifa confined their protests to deep blue cities. You didn't see them out cow tipping in flyover land. Nope, both organized and run in blue cities.

BLM WAS general lawlessness. There was even less rationale for those idiotic protests. It's been quite some time since Jim Crow was relevant and all the stats they used to justify their grievances were made up and could be debunked in about 5 seconds.

Democrats have been using violence as a rallying cry for a very long time. The causes may appear different but it's always random violence by aggrieved yutes in blue controlled areas.

President Biden spoke today with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine to underscore the United States’ lasting commitment to supporting Ukraine as it defends its freedom against Russian aggression. President Biden shared that his administration will quickly provide significant new security assistance packages to meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield and air defense needs as soon as the Senate passes the national security supplemental and he signs it into law. President Biden also underscored that the U.S. economic assistance will help maintain financial stability, build back critical infrastructure following Russian attacks, and support reform as Ukraine moves forward on the path of Euro-Atlantic integration.

THE MORNING RANT: Why Do Intelligent People Continue to Rely on Government Data That is Known to Be False?

Labor Statistics Pinocchio Charts.JPG

I read the financial press and I listen to the “wisdom” of people in places of importance as it relates to business and economic issues. It is beyond perplexing to me how these intelligent credentialed people can be lied to again and again by those in government who produce economic data, yet these same credentialed leaders wait with bated breath for the next round of completely bogus economic reports. They then make critical decisions based on that data, even though there is a near certainty it will be revised to a less favorable report (or simply proven false) once the headlines become stale.

As I have documented on numerous occasions, the inflation rate produced by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics is comically understated. Of course, you don’t need a blogger providing you statistics to figure this out. If you are paying for groceries, insurance, utilities, etc. you are well aware that actual inflation is far in excess of the laughably false 3% rate that the government is reporting. But business and economic leaders eagerly await each new inflation report, even though it will reveal a number much lower than actual. They’re being lied to, and they know they’re being lied to, but they still rely on information that they must know is fraudulent.

Employment data produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics is also fraudulent, with the government habitually publishing favorable numbers regarding jobs and unemployment, then quietly revising them after the initial euphoric headlines.

“Initial US employment reports overstated by 439,000 jobs in 2023” [Fox Business – 01/15/2024]

The government quietly erased 439,000 jobs through November 2023, a closer look at the numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows. That means its initial jobs results were inflated by 439,000 positions, and the job market is not as healthy as the government suggests.

Again, people in positions of power and authority are making decisions that are impacted by these jobs reports, despite the fact that there is a pattern of predictable misrepresentation in these reports. I’d be a little comforted if just once I heard a major financial CEO state that while he knows the government data is fraudulent, the pattern of the fraud indicates a certain trend that he finds to be favorable.

In my career, I have spent a lot of time looking at the financial reporting of companies who are clients of mine. Though it’s been infrequent, I have occasionally uncovered some level of fraudulent financial reporting. When this happens, I know that I am about to embark on a painful journey of discovery, in which each false accounting entry ripples throughout the reports, and nothing that was previously relied on can be assumed to be true.

If I observe that my client seems to be having cash flow challenges, and I then take a closer look at its books and realize that a receivable from a customer has been faked, that also means that my client’s revenue and income are falsely overstated. Further, I know that once I dive in deeper, I’ll probably find a lot of other misrepresentations that I had been relying on. What I don’t do is simply hope that the client will provide me another round of falsified financial reporting with rosy results, seeming to make the problem go away.

But what I’ve just described is effectively what our elite business and economic leaders are doing. Despite all the economic lies and fraudulent data that the Bureau of Labor Statistics has spit out, these leaders rejoice each time the latest round of fraudulent inflation and employment data is released. It’s especially alarming how leaders of major financial institutions that would not tolerate falsified financial reporting from their own borrowers are enthusiastically complicit in validating phony government financial reporting.

I am not predicting DOOM! But I do know that making any decision based on falsified reporting is reckless. Even more concerning is that when an entity feels the need to produce fraudulent reporting, it is an almost certainty that it is suppressing important information that it doesn’t want known.

This premise also applies to other governmental reporting, be it climate, or public health, or wherever else the regime is prevaricating in order to advance its power and control.

As we’ve discussed many times around here, the government’s climate apocalysts are producing flagrantly false temperature data to advance the climate hysteria:
The Hottest year Ever? NOAA is Including Fabricated Data from Hundreds of Decommissioned Stations in Its Temperature Database

The CDC “accidentally” inflated the Covid death toll, which conveniently helped advance the implementation of Covid sharia.

CDC Says It Accidentally Inflated Children’s COVID Death Numbers In ‘Coding Logic Error’ [Daily Caller – 3/18/2022]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised its data this week to reduce pediatric deaths from COVID-19 by nearly 24%.

The only reliable assumption regarding the pattern of falsified reporting from government agencies is that everything they report is false and intentionally misleading. Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.

*****

My latest piece at The Pipeline (“‘Covering Climate Now’ and the Corrupt Corporate Media”) is the second in a two-part look at the eco-communist organization “Covering Climate Now,” and how thoroughly it has infiltrated and corrupted legacy media organizations as they promote the climate panic.

I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

23 "But business and economic leaders eagerly await each new inflation report, even though it will reveal a number much lower than actual. They’re being lied to, and they know they’re being lied to, but they still rely on information that they must know is fraudulent."

I think for many of them it's more complicated than that. They know the numbers will jerked off if not fucked in the ass. But the actual accuracy is less important than what the Fed and other government decision-makers will do based on the numbers.

For example, lower inflation numbers will increase the chances that the Fed cuts rates, which will juice the equities markets. For many people, the markets are all they care about. I fully expect some bogus "report" that justifies lower rates to try to save Joey Showers' presidency.

39 Due to the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect

"Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know."

AZ Deplorable hit on a very true aspect of it. Another example is in the world of meteorology, where if a forecaster goes off the National Weather Service reservation and is repeatedly wrong (independent of whether the NWS itself is wrong about the same event, but in a different way), he/she could lose their accreditation (the ability to earn a living predicting weather).

So the safe bet is to state the NWS and offer an "opinion" or show a preference for a particular model to justify something that is counter to the Federal Narrative. (the source of all Truth&trade

85 Inflation is a social construct.

In a sense it is, but its a core part of the idea of currency - if you introduce more of something to a market the price goes down. And when the price of money goes down that means the price of all good you can acquire with that money goes up...

Of course to your point the left thinks it is a different sort of social construct as in if we just told all those bad evil companies to cut their prices then it would go away. Not the company that some lefty owns stock in or works at...but all the other companies.

At present I don't personally know any clot shot victims.

Brit Brit posts these crazy things all the time. 1.This poor girl is not suffering from bi polar issues. It’s much worse. 2. Her boyfriend / husband / ex husband thought he could manage it and realized how hard it is to run a psych ward, even with just 1 patient. 3. Brit never matured past 16. She is stuck there. 4. It’s really sad. But she is paranoid, so no one is going to be able to come help her , she never should have been released from her conservatorship.

100 Psychology researchers at the University of Minnesota, published in the journal Intelligence, report numerous intelligence tests found that being more clever "is correlated with a range of left-wing and liberal political beliefs."

Greed, selfishness, MINE! MINE! MINE! is the basest of instincts and requires no intelligence. Intelligence is planning, planting, cultivating, teamwork, sharing, fair play, building foundations for the future so that all can thrive.

Intelligent people know they aren't the only person on the planet. It's important to have a society where all have justice and opportunity. Teamwork takes you further than competitiveness. Cooperating with neighbors yields better dividends than fighting. Bigoted and ignorant is no way to go through life.


Authoritarian thinking doesn't require a whole lot of imagination. Just follow the biggest and meanest and hurt those that he tells you to hurt. Very appealing to the cruel and stupid among us.

being a liberal doesn't so much increase a groups average intelligence, but people with curiosity and cognitive skill feel most comfortable associated with liberal politics.

It isn't just that they lie, but that the direction of the lie depends on who has power. If it's them, they lie to the upside. If it's us, they lie to the downside. Oh wait, it all averages out, so there's no problem.


I believe the mechanism is that interested parties (often Hedgefunds) will tell the agencies a week in advance what the official first release numbers will be so that the kleptoligarchs can place their positions ahead of the "revised" numbers that inevitably come out. The kleptoligarchs know both sides of the trade in advance and can play the long/short twice on each release.

There is no easy fix because every institution has been corrupted as has society except our lies appear more 'scientific' than those of past errors by misuse of math and statistics.

160 136 Psychology researchers at the University of Minnesota, published in the journal Intelligence, report numerous intelligence tests found that being more clever "is correlated with a range of left-wing and liberal political beliefs."

I've seen a few of these tests and they have two common problems:

1) They specifically correlate leftwing beliefs and science. So if disagree that the clot shot reduces the impacts of COVID, that the earth is warming, etc, you'll "get the answer wrong"

2) How do you assess someone's politics? Well one answer is sit down with an interviewer and ask them. And who are the questioners? Usually trans-tifa members, blue haired feminist spheriods, or FABULOUS FIERCE gay men. Now...tell them how you feel about abortion or "gay rights"

Intelligence is highly subjective, whereas knowledge and wisdom can be measured.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing that tomatoes don't belong in a fruit salad.

Intelligence is an amorphous word so that people can avoid discussions on knowledge or wisdom.

180 I can't find the link, but I read an article a couple of days ago which discussed the dropoff in elephant seal populations in Antarctica. The dropoff is due to colder temperatures, which in turn moves the sea ice further north, cutting off the seal's food supply and breeding grounds. They are now moving to sub-Antarctic islands in search of new breeding and feeding grounds.

Chances that this development will get the same coverage as the mythical starving polar bears? Zero...point...zero.

Social Taboos.

Also Mimetic Double Bind; the idea that to just keeping up with the Joneses is not enough, there is a competition for status and edgy-ness to differentiate, pushing the taboos is a traditional vector, similar to a two-year-old attempting to discover the outer limits of a parent's permissiveness. When the elites were groping up 16 y.olds they should have received the beat-downs, but no one stopped them; so they try for 14y.o. then 12y.o. until they get the beat down and made to stop.

Perversely, this constant dive into utter depravity is taking away the IC community's main threat of exposing kiddie-pr0n on the computer of someone they want to control as soon that evil will be acceptable.

Not illegal. EEOC is trying to run up the flag that excluding job applicants based on their criminality results in disparate impact. Scotus has yet to settle that interpretation of the CRA of 1964 as applied. The unwholesome Griggs decision was the origin on that misbegotten notion and since Scotus will never revisit a statutory decision on interpretation, you have to challenge it on unconstitutionality (which is a door now apparently open) or change the law.

288 Someone found a woman that lost a suit before Judge Roy Moore and suddenly based solely on her insane (and admitted to be fabricated) claims a whole bunch of Republicans voted for a lunatic leftist...in Alabama.

That there Judge Roy Moore was out signing high school yearbooks and talkin...actually talkin to the young, fertile womens with sin on his lusting mind at The Mall back when he was full of hormones and indiscretion. I told Ethel to stay away but it was too late, she got her yearbook signed in cursive! (Almost faints)

Sure.

I'm just saying it didn't take a Republican landslide and turn it into a narrow loss. It turned what could have been a narrow win into a narrow loss.

Roy Moore was simply not a good candidate...based on his previous electoral history in the same state.

Ultimately, though, I blame Luther Strange for running in the race at all instead of bowing out gracefully and working to smooth the transition to the next Republican. But, power.

Kavanaugh is an example of the Beltway Uniparty and has been since forever. His tenure on the DC Circuit, other than 2A cases, was very similar to his butt buddy John Roberts on that court.

Kavanaugh is a perfect example why using the Federalist Society to vette judges is about as useful to find conservative ones as ABA ratings.

291 Ukraine was color revolutioned by Obama and is ground zero for whatever the fuck he's up to. Besides hiding in a closet from Big Mike.
Posted by: Ian S.

Yes, the famous "color revolution". There was a guy that filmed a lot of what happened on Jan 6th, an independent journalist. He reviewed a lot of his videos in a "safe house" days after Jan 6th, because he expected the government to come after him (they did, a few years later). He watched them with some Special Forces operatives, and they pointed out what people were doing in the crowd, as they had been on other operations during so-called "Color Revolutions".

292 Yeah, it was my understanding that they are, in fact, revisiting Griggs and disparate impact. I'd have said that was impossible, but after all, they're going after quotas in admissions, so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

Griggs is what is holding the universities from trying to finesse their way around the Harvard ruling. If they do anything that touches Griggs I don't think the Court would necessarily invalidate Griggs, but they might wipe out the disparate impact tag that was added to the case.

293 285 It was the sudden 180 that leads me to believe shenanigans were involved.

In the Rogan/Carlson interview, Tucker observed that weak men are susceptible to evil spirits. I've contended for decades that the fastest way to demon possession is to reside in Babylon DC. It took Johnson less than six months to go from respected evangelical to demon.

It is because he is a nominal Christian, weak, vain and now in a position of power - a regular honey pot for demons.

Given the two surrenders were on FISA and massive foreign aid, I suspect his demons were from the Deep State that probably threatened his life and those of loved ones if he did not play ball. His vote to break the tie on FISA warrant requirement personally is a sign.

294 282 Have we considered this rise in debauchery is associated directly to the rise in the “free to be your and me” movement? Where we stopped telling people their behavior was wrong? Where judging people became awful? When you remove gating mechanisms and eliminate stigma, you get hedonism, right?

I will never understand pedos. Nor will I get people who just lump it in as another sexual behavior. The truth is when we stop making it a priority to protect our children, we lose our humanity. You would think as the supreme animal we would be able to mother at least as well as a cat.

Modernity is based on rejection of all past values and traditions in order to be in style for the moment. Not surprising that the children are viewed as prey and that has been true since at least the 1970's with child models and advertising based on sexualizing children.

295 Also, background checks came about as a method to limit liability. For example, if you hire someone with a known violent past, and that person goes on to beat up a coworker, the company was negligent. That said, the background checks and reasons for disqualifying had to have a connection to the job. If the person would never handle money, a credit check is not necessary. If a person would never drive any type of vehicle on company business, the driving record is mute. That was the method to avoid disparate impact - tying the background check to the role in question. Also, it had to be convictions, not just arrests. I wonder how this will play out when we remove this ability from companies and someone gets assaulted. Will the company be protected from a lawsuit? I doubt it.

296 My girl kitten is a Siberian. Her breeder, a lady I've known for many years, has said that one of her more recent females was born in Ukraine, and shipped over here -- about two years ago. That must have been a major undertaking.

I have a fondness for animal rescue videos--one of the channels I watch operates in Ukraine. Had some interesting videos two years ago where they had armed escorts because they were working where there had been fighting recently...and there was no guarantee the combatants had all departed. Total fucking shitshow.

Strangely, more recent videos show little sign of the war. You tell me what's up with that.

300 SOme idiot freind of my haubsnad was touting the crime stats under Biden on Facebook. It didn't take long for me to find out the following, that throws doubt on the accuracy of those stats (other than the fact that they come from the FBI / DOJ):

Violent crime had already been decreasing since 1990. However any statistical differences starting in 2021 cannot be accurately gauged: 

1. 2023 crime statistics have but been reported and assembled and two data sets are insufficient to indicate a "trend."

2. The FBI switched from a system called SRS to NIBRS in 2021 as the system by which various agencies around the country report crime statistics. Under SRS, about 90% of agencies reported crime statistics. In the first year of NIBRS, reporting was less than 64%, with fewer that 10% of California and Florida agencies providing statistics, and fewer than 20% of agencies in New York and Pennsylvania providing crime statistics. The two most populous cities in the country, New York City and Los Angeles did not provide statistics. (Additionally, San Francisco did not report as well.)

98 Quite obviously inspired by Leonardo's Last Supper; but it makes sense in the day. Leonardo's work was a huge fresco on a wall that only those visiting Milan could see; according to the Wiki stub, van Aelst and his assistants made and sold at least 45 versions of this last supper to his patrons. They added even more Christian iconography to the work in the scene through the window (showing Jesus' entry into Jerusalem) and the large medallions hanging on the walls.

I suspect this is a case of using the Last Supper as an excuse for virtuoso painting.
As in the landscape, the stained glass window, the bronze medallions on the wall, and the perfect perspective.
Plus the variations in the Apostles. (not the cast of The Chosen by any means)
The balance of the composition has a classical feel.
Notice the placement of the red robes across the mid-line.

This is the moment Christ announces His betrayal. The figure rising from his seat is Judas (traditionally a ginger). The figure on the left is probably a servant.

Aside from the narrator's apparent need to interject "funny" asides into many episodes, it was really helpful to have a better perspective on how very compact the last week of Jesus' life was.

121 I know some of y'all think this is sacrilegious, too busy, irreverent, etc. but why? I'd imagine there was a very human side of the apostles as well. Jesus alone has a heavy heart.

"Lamb" by Christopher Moore is very irreverent and talks about the life of Christ as a child. It is fiction, of course, but focuses on Christ as a friend to his buddy Biff (I think) and how He travels the known world seeking lessons and inspiration. It is funny at times. But at the end, when Chris is hanging on a cross, the irreverence died and the picture painted by the author was poignant. It made me cry.

Jesus was Man and God. His friends were men. I'd imagine there was chaos involved with a bunch of friends at a party with booze on a high holiday.

125 Hillary Clinton Was Cheated. The crux of this case (Stormy Daniels), which the MSM wants to overlook, is that if the whole sordid affair was made public, Trump would have probably lost.

Not to mention the LIE dropped a few days before the election. That lie was dropped that an FBI (?) investigation was finding ample reason to charge Hillary Clinton with some crimes.

Comey's was the heaviest thumb on the scale. People knew what Trump was by then. Access Hollywood had been out for months. Comey fucked us big time & I practically puked when he wrote that "he eats your soul" commentary. Fuck you, James Comey.

It isn't about Hillary Clinton. No one is entitled to be president. But the American people ARE entitled to a president chosen without llegal election interference.

Trump cultist never elected him and never will. it's the independents that switch back and forth who elected him.
People who voted for Obama and then Trump. You know, idiots.


The Clintons triggered the entire right-wing hate machine to turbo charge. She was always the most qualified candidate ever.

"Kosher" != "Parve" != "Kosher for Passover"

"Kosher for Passover" is very restrictive, and the famous Jewish wines (MD and Manischewitz) are "Kosher for Passover." I don't know what the technical distinction is with wine that makes it specifically Passover-compliant. I suspect it has something to do with the treatment of yeast. Fermentation depends on yeast, and yeast is a leavening agent and leavening agents are forbidden on Passover.

I don't know if there is a historical difference in Passover wine vs. non-Passover wine, or what the distinctions are.

To make wine kosher, the following requirements must be met:
The wine must be made under the supervision of a rabbi.
The wine must contain only kosher ingredients, including yeast and fining agents.
The wine must be processed using equipment rabbinically certified to make kosher wines.
No preservatives or artificial colors may be added.
The wine must be subject to a very stringent filtration procedure in which no foreign substance may be used.
Only certified kosher products may be used in the wine-making process.

Nonkosher wines often use gelatin, rice, milk products or animal byproducts for clarification and purification processes.

That seems suspect to me. Most routine IC service is fluids, and the dealer won't be doing those because fluids last a lot longer in EVs.

But tires and brakes are still routine wear items that need to be done, sometimes (often) even *more* often on EVs. If the dealer was getting that business, he's still going to get that business. The other stuff like timing chains and transmission service (other than just fluid exchange) are infrequent. EVs don't have a lot of that stuff and so even those occasional items will hit the bottom line, but there's far less of it in the first place on modern cars and most people don't go to the dealer for service after the warranty period. Dealers are paid for warranty work, of course, but not by the customer.

Are dealer service departments really putting up big numbers of oil changes? They might be, but it would surprise me. Why pay the dealer premium for an oil change?

So if you look at your package of aluminum foil, you may find a kosher marking because (according to him) the machinery used to make it is lubricated with food-grade lard and thus has to be certified as kosher compliant.

244 Yeah tires need changing more often. But do dealers do a lot of that work? People take their cars to dealers for oil changes because they wrongly assume a warranty is voided if they don’t.

But tires? That’s a tire store thing for most people I’d imagine.

Some dealers may throw in a tire rotation, or have a regular oil change/rotation special, that can save you some dough. My '11 Regal came with four free oil changes/rotations, and I took full advantage of that. I kept on using them for that car because they were well-priced for those two services -- and the dealer was within a short walk of my barber.

Generally, though, dealer servicing is much more expensive. Something has to pay for that nice waiting room with the coffee and muffins. The BMW dealer has an espresso machine.

263 Thanks, CBD. Happy Passover Eve.

The last meal that Jesus shared with his apostles is described in all four canonical Gospels as having taken place in the week of the Passover. This meal later became known as the Last Supper. (Wikipedia & many other 'sources.)

WikiMedia Commons: English: Pieter Coecke van Aelst's The Last Supper was one of the most popular images of the sixteenth century. It freely combined the compositions of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper in Milan (149 and Marcantonio Raimondi's engraving after Raphael's drawing of the same subject (circa 1510-20) with the enigmatic gestures of the apostles from the popular print by Albrecht Dürer (1523). The most notable differences between the version of 1528 and most others are the simplified checkerboard pattern of the floor and the dog in the foreground that misses its playmate.

Thanks.

They *do* have some advantage. If was in the market for an expensive, quick-as-hell second car, I'd definitely look seriously at an EV. They are quick and are often pretty damn nice. But that's not my market. I want a jack-of-all-trades car, and EVs are not that. I can run about town in my IC car (it's most of what I do), or drop everything and drive thousands of miles in a couple of days if I need to. I like that. It's what I want.

And get a four-door luxury high-performance touring car will balls-to-the-wall acceleration and tight handling that is very good at being that.

It all depends on what you're after, and what the value to you is. If someone wants an EV for the things EVs are good at, cool. If someone wants one because they're hip and trendy, cool. Whatever the reason, cool. It's their money and they can do what they want with it. Marketing is always predicated on lies (or, at best, outrageous optimism) and every customer for every product has to do his own homework to determine what's right for him. That's how it always is, and EVs are no different other than in the quantity of bullshit involved and the quantity of government kingmaking, which is the real problem.

Longevity is certainly the big concern I have for a recently purchased EV, but so far it's been pretty great. My wife does lots of short commutes through the day for groceries, kids activities, etc, which the EV (with about 220 miles of range) can easily handle, and then recharge overnight. For longer trips, she takes my car, and I can commute to and from work in the EV instead.

The money saved on gas and services is much more than $50/month...but if there's a big battery failure expense after 7 years or something, that'll be an issue. I can trust Chevy, though...right?

312 ... Longevity is certainly the big concern I have for a recently purchased EV, but so far it's been pretty great. My wife does lots of short commutes through the day for groceries, kids activities, etc, which the EV (with about 220 miles of range) can easily handle, and then recharge overnight. For longer trips, she takes my car, and I can commute to and from work in the EV instead. ...

This is, I suspect, the natural habitat of the mass-market EV: the second car. That mass market will be comparatively small (as compared to the overall car market). I doubt that this scenario actually results in total lifecycle cost savings, but it's probably pretty close.

I think that Act only applies to manufacturer warranties.

Buy a Chevy from the dealer advertising a "complimentary 200,000 mile warranty." The manufacturer offers a *real* warranty of 36,000 miles. That one is beholden to the Act. The "dealer warranty" isn't really a warranty as far as I know, but is rather a service contract agreement between you and the dealer. One of the conditions of that contract is that there shall be no non-dealer service.

The manufacturer's 36,000 mile warranty is the real one. The dealer's "200,000 mile warranty from Ted Johnson Chevrolet" is not a real warranty, is probably borderline false advertising given the conditions attached to it.

A new study out of UCLA says same-sex couples are at greater “risk of exposure to the adverse effects of climate change” than straight couples.

These effects include “wildfires, floods, smoke-filled skies, and drought,” according to a report from KQED.

Same-sex couples disproportionately live in coastal regions and cities, which are more vulnerable to such disasters. They’re also more likely “to live in areas with poor infrastructure, worse-built environments.”

One can make the argument that quick acceleration is a safety FEATURE. The ability to pass quickly and safely and get the hell out of the way of the crazy people. The ability to quickly merge into fast moving traffic (we all know that one particular on ramp.)

But that also reminds me: how come they never mention handling? My Mustang is awesome for the above, but the handling can be a bit squirrelly when you use that power if not careful. By contrast, the Miata might have had a 1/3rd of the horsepower, but it's handling was rock solid, unnatural even. It inspired so much more confidence and stayed NAILED down to the lane where you put it.

Yep. Not being an impediment is important, but I doubt there are even a handful of cars that can't hit 60 in what would've been 80s mid-level Porsche and Ferrari numbers these days.

I'm guessing handling of the EV behemoths is all software based similar to enormous SUVs and for the same reason. The opposite of the Miata that could take the on-ramp at 60mph because it was a solid handler and could keep up with the mustang through the mountains because it didn't need to shed speed in turns.

Sorry, I missed your response.

There are multiple paintings. The 1st is Pieter Coecke van Aelst, Belvoir Castle, 1527, with two dogs playing and then a "simplified checkerboard floor pattern, with one dog, 1528.

Then there's the 1531 painting with two dogs and a 1545 also with two dogs. And finally, Hendrik Goltzius, after Pieter Coecke van Aelst, Last Supper, 1585, also has two dogs playing and much more Bibical appearing persons gathered for supper.

The Morning Report — 4/22/24

benniebidencervix.jpg

Good erev Pesach morning, kids. Passover eve, for those not of the Tribe. What an ironically appropriate holiday for all of us, all things considered. But, it's also Earth Day! So happy Earth day, or more accurately happy Brutally-murder-and-compost-your-girlfriend-then-flee-to-France-for-23-years Day!

Speaking of compost, I give you a batch of it to start off the week, either with a laugh or as an emetic:

Although Joe Biden is a lifelong Democrat, his political career was long defined by bipartisan compromises and reaching out to the Republican Party with legislative compromises, budget battle solutions, foreign policy consensus, and, notably, personal friendships.

Now it’s time for him to make U.S. history by announcing, prior to the Democratic Party nominating convention, that he will name a bipartisan Cabinet and policy advisers and work with congressional Republican conservative leaders as well as progressive Democrats to find common ground on the issues Americans care about most, starting with border security, inflation, criminal justice, climate change, and support for democracy and the rule of law.

Beyond these problems that Americans want addressed with across-the-aisle cooperation, the issue of partisanship itself is one of voters’ biggest concerns. They tell this to pollsters constantly. Polarization and extremism ranked third across a list of 20 issues asked about in a poll taken in May-June 2023 – just after border security and inflation.

I can see you all alternately trying to laugh through your vomitus, hurtling out of your gullets like a firehose. But wait, there's more:

As many of these conservative anti-Trump Republicans and independents tell me in my travels, despite their serious concerns about Trump’s anti-democratic views and support for Valdmir Putin and other autocrats, they won’t vote for Biden’s reelection because they consider him to ideologically “liberal” and, worse, too “partisan.”

This is not the Joe Biden I have known since he was first elected as a moderate Democrat from the then-Republican-leaning state of Delaware. This is someone who during six terms in the Senate was popular among his GOP colleagues who appreciated his knack for finding the sweet spot between left and right for legislative compromises; he’s a man who ran as a moderate in the Democratic presidential field as recently as 2020.

So, there is an opportunity here for Biden to win over these Biden-skeptical anti-Trump voters. One way to do it would be to hit a dramatic re-set button for his campaign – to make history (and good government) by committing to a bipartisan presidency in his second term if reelected. . .

. . . There are many credible Republican leaders with strong anti-Trump views who are obvious candidates, if they are willing, to serve in an historic bipartisan Cabinet and second term Biden administration. The list includes Sen. Mitt Romney, former Rep. Liz Cheney, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former GOP governors Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie along with former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, and other GOP congressional leaders who opposed Trump’s election denialism. They recognize the reality of Trump’s complicity in an attempted insurrection to stop the counting of votes in 2021, and are repulsed by Trump’s pro-Putin and pro-autocratic foreign policy. . .

. . . Biden is fortunate to be able to call upon former presidents and top leaders of prior Democratic and Republican administrations to serve on a newly created official Presidential Senior Advisory Council. The first co-chairs could be ex-presidents (and personal friends) Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, with Barack Obama waiting in the wings. On foreign policy, Biden could tap the expertise of luminaries ranging from former secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice, John Kerry, and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Mrs. Clinton could do double duty on a committee of former first ladies, with Laura Bush and Michelle Obama. A domestic policy bipartisan counterpart could be co-chaired by Vice President Mike Pence and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and could include former House Republican Speaker (and now anti-Trump conservative) Paul Ryan and former Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Perhaps even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could be part of the bipartisan team, too. Beyond her articulate expression of progressive views, AOC has been a constructive force in Congress for pragmatic compromise.

And the purveyor of this multi-trillion dollar ton of absolute horseshit is . . . Lanny Davis. Yup, the very same Lanny Davis who went to Yale Law School with Hilary Clinton and later served in the Clinton crime family during their stint at the White House as consigliere, er, special counsel (same thing) defending his sagging rapist ass from multiple scandals. After that, he's represented a virtual rogue's gallery of other scum and tyrants, with the cherry on the parfait now of being the mouthpiece for Michael Cohen. Perfect.

There are a couple of things to note with this inane waste of pixels that are nevertheless quite instructive. At first glance, Davis appears to be under the same delusion/illusion that the American citizenry as a whole, while divided on a few issues are nevertheless united in a common culture that seeks at a minimum tolerance if not accommodation. Given who he cites as "conservative," or that each side of the divide share a common enemy, Donald Trump and everyone who supports him, the entire gravamen of this discourse is a patently obvious lie.

Every individual he cites as a veritable "Lincoln's cabinet of rivals" all share the same goal: the fundamental transformation of America as founded from a nation where a limited government serves the will of the individual citizen by respecting his inalienable rights to that of a government that lords over an enslaved mass populace.

Why write this insulting, tedious, irksome piffle? FEAR. Davis et al have a very deep, nagging fear that no matter what they do to rig the 2024 election in every state they can, and that no matter what happens in the debasement of American jurisprudence that are these kangaroo court persecutions against Donald Trump, that at the end of the day he and we shall overcome them.

His notion that common ground exists in this country would be laughable were it not for the fact that not only are their political prisoners still having their lives ruined and rotting in jail as a result of the staged fake Democrat/DOJ/Deep State "insurrection" of 1/6/21, that a massive anarcho-terrorist crime wave is sweeping the nation as a result of Leftist anti-cop pro-criminal policies, and made even worse by an 8-million-strong invasion of illegal aliens that includes hardened criminals and even terrorists, and that Jews and Christians are being targeted and attacked on campuses as well as in churches and synagogues as a result of Islam and godless heathen secularism, the tip of the spear being the transexual mass-psychosis inflicted on us.

And all of the aforementioned inflicted on us by his anti-American party, political movement and the RINO scum who profit off of it.

On the latest podcast with friend and friend of the blog Jim Lakely of the Heartland Institute, I asserted that America today is probably more divided than it was at the time of the Civil War. Regardless of the issues of slavery and states rights as well as other factors such as economics, at least there was some common ground and heritage that was shared by both North and South, regardless of the aforementioned issues.

In point of fact, I believe we are now no longer one people. We are two very different nations occupying the same territory. The Left hate us, everything we stand for, and America itself. There is no common ground, and like Israel, there can be no two-state solution vis a vis some sort of national divorce, even if it could be engineered. Our very existence is anathema to their own. It would negate everything they stand for, insane as it is.

It's us or them:

Any political prediction for the remainder of 2024 must, to be taken seriously, account for one overbearing fact:  neither side can afford to lose.  For one side or the other, it will be game over.  Political power will thereafter be denied forever to the defeated party. . .

. . . There are other factors that will spell the end of constitutional democracy, the end of the rule of law, and the bastardization of our culture but government-funded lawbreaking will be sufficient to do its intended job. . .

. . . The only reason Clinton lost in 2016 was because the Left lied, cheated, stole, but not enough.  In 2020, the limits came undone, and the left pulled off the greatest fraud in history.

They fully expect to do it again, but on an even grander scale. 

Only this time, even fraud will not be enough.  If the leftist candidate officially “wins” in a historic landslide, nobody will believe it.  The ordinary American, shocked into inaction since the January 6 incident, is in no mood to hand over his country to yet another blatant, obvious theft. State legislators are on notice.  In order to certify their electors, there must be no reasonable doubt that the vote was conducted within the requirements of the law.  The legislators now know, as many of them did not in 2020, that no one can require them to certify an elector until they have performed their due diligence.  That power is theirs alone, not the secretaries of state.

But the Left is also aware of this.  Their game plan will factor that in.  Some Democrats in Congress have already stated, in advance, that they will refuse to count electoral votes which would cause their party to lose the presidency.  They can’t surrender.  A leftist defeat will be utterly unacceptable to them. 

How, then, will the deadlock be broken?

Quite a good essay but the fact is that even elections, that is even elections wherein a now massive margin of institutional fraud can be overcome will still leave in place an entirely corrupt government, bureaucracy and courts that will not allow anyone, even a Donald Trump on steroids, to denude them of even the tiniest scintilla of their illegitimate power.

It is a sad state of affairs that owing to 100 years of the overturning of the Constitution because of the will-to-power of several generations of our so-called elites, as well as the societal dissolution that has erased morality and ethics of not only the aforementioned but at far too many of our now-erstwhile fellow citizens, we must now fundamentally re-transform America. Either back to the way it was or to some other state wherein those who destroyed it in the first place are never ever in a position to do it again.

As Allen Ludden might say, the password is Revolution.

The discussion during the podcast and Heartland's latest poll are, no pun, disheartening in the extreme. Recall that their earlier poll showed an alarming percentage of respondents admitting to cheating in 2020, which led to the conclusion that 2020 was indeed severely compromised if not for sure stolen. This latest poll is even more alarming in that a majority of respondents when asked are willing to cheat and break the law again if it means ensuring their candidate wins.

Yes, the other side are fully amoral and corrupt, but because they are true believers who see us as an existential evil, "by any means necessary" is in their view perfectly justified if not demanded. And what of us? If the whole damned shit house is corrupt, then where is the sin in doing exactly what they do to prevent them from stealing the election?

Look how far we have sunk when contemplating guerrilla tactics in our own country, such as it was, is not beyond the pale.

May I add:
There is serious part of the Democrat psyche that requires a swift and direct punishment of any success or achievement that is not the result of government scale tipping via DEI, taxes, tariffs, or subsidies.
There is no doubt in my mind that before 2030 there will be a BAIL IN whereas all private retirement funds will be confiscated.

24 Political power has already been permanently taken from the defeated Party. I'm tired of being told the horse is leaving the barn while some Democrat child is eating it from a tub of library paste as we speak.

As to the other article - if that poll is true, the fact that polarization is the *#3* concern of most voters tells you how deeply in denial most voters are. It should #1, in bold italics, underlined, with a bullet. This country has ceased being a viable political unit, and every day could be the day when one half the population (almost certainly the Democrat half, but time will tell) decides to simply dispense with the other once and for all.

33 “I was speaking in the context of forgiving the president and any people in government who offend us by their words and actions – that we cannot harbor resentment toward them because in doing so, it would be sinful. We must forgive them if we are to be free. You can find the whole talk online to understand what was really said.”

The Bishop is correct. As Paul said to the Romans, our leaders are put in their positions over us by the will of God for His purposes. Even the bad ones, Nebuchanezzar, the Pharos, Nero, even Stalin and Hitler were put in their position to serve God's will. Does that mean we have to vote for him? No! But like Joseph in prison, do your best work where God has placed you, and have faith that God has a plan.

>>Holder’s defense of the Columbia protesters, who were violating of university policy and shouting anti-Semitic slogans including "Globalize the intifada" and "NYPD, KKK, IDF, you're all the same," does not square with his law firm Covington & Burling's decision late last year to sign a letter, along with dozens of white shoe firms, expressing zero-tolerance for the disruptive, anti-Semitic protests taking place on college and law school campuses across the country. (Maybe Covington should FIRE Holder - jjs)

Seem to recall Holder and his firm defending terrorists held in Gitmo (for free, of course). Also recall Holder as AG actively suing cities that didn.t approve plans to build mosques, which is how we got so many mega mosques during the Obama era.

He's doing exactly what I'd expect him to do in defending Hamas-loving Columbia protesters..

62 If there was any real interest in taking back Columbia University from the paid outrage mob, they'd go after those funding it.

I keep harping on this; those mobs are the front lines in the civil war. It's not just Jews that are being assaulted. Those mobs have attacked parents against transgenders and grooming kids in public schools, "Christian nationalists," white males, etc.

Some demographic group pops up on the left's hate radar and is targeted. These mobs have demonstrated they're willing and able to physically attack and in some cases, kill whomever they're pointed to.

Cut off the funding and they mostly go away. But apparently that's not going to happen.

For her part, the extremist Rao took to her X/Twitter account to blast the audience members who opposed having the show they paid to see disrupted by a group of leftist white women.

Nike plans to lay off 740 employees at its world headquarters in Beaverton by June 28, according to a notice the footwear and apparel giant sent to state officials.
The company has about 83,000 employees worldwide, including more than 11,000 at its Beaverton headquarters as of last spring, the Oregonian reported.

Because Joe is for the Uniparty and against all of us.
Does Lanny think we don't remember the countless times Joes has insulted normal Americans, told us we are the "biggest threat to Democracy(tm)?" Hell, that creepy speech with the red lighting?!?

Saying Biden is "our guy" because he gets along with all in DC - all the people like Mitch McConnell happy to screw us over in favor of Ukraine funding and illegals - is not the endorsement you think it is, Lanny.

Of course lil Z did nothing to stop the massacres in Eastern Ukraine and then escalated with Russia until the war started.

It would be fascinating to see how much of this was always his plan, how much was the US Deep State, and how much was just his inability to control the Ukrainian paramilitaries in Eastern Ukraine...

All of it is the deep state. The CIA/State Dept cabal has been running the place since 2014. Anyone really believe that the Biden crime family as making bank with the very corrupt Burisma and nobody in our intel community knew what was going on?

When Trump wanted to look into the corruption in Ukraine and what was happening the CIA in the person of Eric Ciamarella, a guy whose name we weren't even allowed to whisper, tried to take him out with an impeachment.

There is zero oversight of the billions we have been shoveling to Ukraine. Much of it is just going to fund deep state operations. That's why there is no oversight. Zelensky is a puppet doing what he is told.

217 The Israeli government now believes that Hamas is holding onto the bodies of 31 Israelis who have died in captivity. That would mean fewer than 100 captives are still alive and are being held. But do you really think their captors have ceased to murder their helpless hostages?

WTF? Could that involve any of the thousands of Chinese Nationals who have been sneaking across the border hidden in plain sight among the millions streaming over. Has Wray alerted his boss, Alejandro Mayorkas, to this threat? What else is Wray up to? Are they both part of the op?

Recall that their earlier poll showed an alarming percentage of respondents admitting to cheating in 2020, which led to the conclusion that 2020 was indeed severely compromised if not for sure stolen. This latest poll is even more alarming in that a majority of respondents when asked are willing to cheat and break the law again if it means ensuring their candidate wins."

Of course they are. Once you cross a moral line, it is very hard to get people to reinstitute it- if not impossible. And they do not see it as a moral failing which is perhaps most important. Their enemies (us) are literally evil, so why actually play fair?

303 @jaketapper: In response to “horrific” scenes of antisemitic harassment at and around campus, the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia/Barnard sent a WhatsApp message to more than 290+ Jewish students recommending that they go home until it’s safe again for them on campus.

Go home until the antisemitism ends? Sounds like a plan, unless you're trying to actually get an education, degree, all that sort of stuff.

Oh my god, this is so awful! This is what has happened to our wonderful, "free" country? Freedom for white, heterosexual, x-tian men only.

It was disappointing to hear Ali Velshi present the situation at Columbia as though having police remove the protesters from the campus encampments being so unfair, without telling the complete story about the harassment of Jewish students. It was to prevent incidents like what happened to Salman Rushdie, or what happened at Kent State years ago

Ali Velshi-Very talented, compassionate journalist/anchor. That being said, he has certain views about the Middle East, and the compassion does not extend to Israel. There are a few more anchors on msnbc who align similarly.

325 The Ukraine thing is also fascinating in that it also shows by what they will not allow: any sort of peace negotiations. So, they want Ukraine to be free, but they also want the war to keep going at all costs- even if peace talks would allow a settlement that would ensure that and allow the 'other' aspects of their grift in Ukraine to continue.

I 'think' (and this is just rank speculation) that we are seeing a compromise/buy off. This is how they are securing the loyalty of the military contracts (the people behind them.) It is also possible that their other streams of revenue have withered and everything has swapped over due to the vast sums of cash flowing into the war effort.

I do. We've sent over $100 billion to Ukraine so far. Sure, there's lots of grifting going on but we've been running crap in Ukraine for many years before the war.

Uniparty US foreign policy for years has been focused on removing Ukraine and to a lesser extent Georgia from Russia and moving them closer to the west. It's a big reason they had to get rid of Trump. John McCain, Biden and Graham were up to their eyeballs in that dump during Maidan and we all know McCain's commitment to the deep state and failed foreign policy.

Stupid story, from mumble-mumble years ago. For some reason, I had purchased and taken hair product with me to basic training. Shortly after arrival, our first locker and equipment inspection, Drill Sergeant Taylor was going through my drawers, and pulled it out, looked at my newly-shorn ass right in the eyes, and said "Dippty-damn-Do?" and shook his head and threw it back in my locker.

No idea why I had to bring that and find a place for it in my limited locker space lol. What with not having any hair and not being able to go anywhere anyway.

And what the hell even is Dippty-Do? I had never bought it before, dunno how I even ended up with it (not planted or anything, I def bough it).

There was a news story from last year where a plane full of American weapons crashed after LEAVING Ukraine and heading somewhere else.

I believe the FNM claims the plane was going to...Albania? Or something like that and the flight path just had them going to Ukraine. And the weapons on board were NOT weapons we gave to Ukraine but instead weapons we were giving to Albania (or wherever).

Ukraine has the 2nd highest reserves of gas in Europe, over 1 trillion tons. It's often said that Russia is gas station with a country. What do you think Ukraine is?

As much as the smooth brains like to pretend that we can survive on sunshine, wind and unicorn farts oil and gas power the world. In 2019 Ukraine and Russia signed a new contract to supply oil and gas to Europe. Gasprom, Nafotgaz oligarchs and oil companies. Probably not a coincidence that Rex Tillerson was pushed on Trump or the Biden crime family was getting rich off Burisma.

Deep state games go a lot deeper than just skimming aid. The play a game of Risk with real countries and tell us fairy tales about what's going on. We didn't run a coup in Ukraine just to skim aid dollars.

383 Heavy Oil From Trudeau’s New Pipeline Is Headed for California

Valero Energy Corp. and Chevron Corp. are buying oil shipped through Canada’s newly expanded Trans Mountain Pipeline system for their California refineries, according to people familiar with the shipments, a sign that US West Coast may become a significant market for oil-sands crude.

The Trans Mountain expansion, which will almost triple the capacity of the only oil pipeline system running from Alberta to Canada’s Pacific Coast, is scheduled to enter commercial operation on May 1 after years of construction delays and price overruns.

Lanny Davis: same old, same old & among the Vampirical
>CNN, July 26, 2018, The many lives of Michael Cohen’s new lawyer

In part, "For Davis, who signed on as Cohen’s lawyer* (*Weinstein's too) earlier this month, his advocacy for Cohen – on Tuesday night he handed over a secretly recorded conversation between Trump and his client to CNN – is the latest odd iteration of a man who has spent a lifetime reinventing himself as a staple of political Washington. Depending on your view of him, Davis is either the ultimate survivor or a bad penny that just keeps turning up. (New York magazine’s Jonathan Chait described Davis as a “buffoon” and a “sleaze merchant” in 2012.)

Either way, however, no one can deny that Davis is a man of (at least) nine lives."

A recording of the call is available on (website).

“Judge Kavanaugh’s record on the D.C. Circuit is hardly surprising: he has frequently dissented from his colleagues in cases involving workers’ rights, discrimination and retaliation, going out of his way to argue that the interests of corporations should trump the interests of workers. Our court system, more so than any other institution, is dedicated to the idea that everyone—not just the wealthy or powerful—should have a fair shot at justice. The nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, in addition to many of the other nominees put forward by this Administration, puts that fundamental principle in jeopardy,”...

Daily Tech News 22 April 2024

Top Story

  • Is the Minisforum V3 any good? Yes. (Notebook Check)

    It looks good on paper, and it also looks good in actual use.

    The one shortcoming is the battery life, which is only around six hours due the the high idle power draw - about twice that of a Microsoft Surface tablet.

    That's likely to be an issue with the BIOS on the review model not putting the CPU into the proper sleep state, but as of today it is something you need to be concerned about.

Tech News

  • If you're worried about the disappearance of the Z80, don't be: There's a project to produce an open-source version. (GitHub)

    It's being produced as part of TinyTapeout and the chip measures 320x200 micrometers when produced on an ancient (and therefore cheap) 130nm process.


  • I mean, who doesn't need a 256-core carryon? (Tom's Hardware)

    This squishes two 128-core servers each with 2TB of RAM into the size of a regular carry-on bag.

    There aren't many people who need to be able to grab that amount of compute power, jump onto a plan, and just plug it in wherever they land, but the people who need it really need it.


  • Asus laptop update: It's dead easy to open and upgrade. Modern laptop covers are held in place with plastic clips as well as screws, and those clips can be a massive pain. In this case not so much; pry the first one open, and then just keep levering it gently until it's free.

    Worth noting that the four short screws all go at the front.

    Anyway, installed the extra 32GB of RAM, booted it up with the cover off, and it worked just fine and showed 40GB of RAM (it has 8GB soldered in place and one free slot).

    Next up I swapped the SSD. Powered on and BIOS recognised the new device, so I closed it all back up and plugged in the recovery drive.

    Which told me to go jump in a lake.

    So I plugged in the Windows 11 install drive.

    Which also told me to go jump in a lake.

    I have some Windows 11 install tricks to try, and failing that, a couple of spare SSDs.

    But why in 2024 does the Windows installer still fail with a generic message and an 8-digit hexadecimal error code? You're not short of space for proper error messages, guys.

39 Actual patient interaction yesterday, 17 Month old male. Name changed.

Ok, parents, Patrick is just fine. Give motrin or tylenol for pain, and feel free to come back if you have any concerns. Oh, and, funny thing... someone mis-clicked at registration and made him female. If you stop by registration on the way out they can fix that.

Mom: Oh, he was assigned female at birth, but he has chosen to be a boy, so we honor that.

17 months old. Even changed her name to a boy name.

The Chief of the General Staff thanked Major General Aharon Haliva for his 38 years of service in the IDF, during which he made significant contributions to the security of the State of Israel as both a combat soldier and commander.

94 Okay. The reason I'm obsessed with Richard Goldstone is because he was denied entry into Israel. This may seem minor, it is not. It sets a precedent that a professed Jew can have their identity revoked. That is HUGE. And forces an examination of what caused it. Goldstone declared for World Court: a World Government outranking the Nation of Israel and therefore a denial of the legitimacy of any nation anywhere, and was declared Not-Jewish because of that position. See where that goes?
It's an incredibly important precedent and deserves a lot more examination than it is getting.

136 Parents are hyper anxious to have their own kids "like" them, and pretend that they're just buddies.

Kids are hyper anxious to prove that they're the best human being on earth and how dare you say otherwise, so they soak up the programming in schools about whatever Current Thing is, and become insanely zealous about it.

So i think it's a two way street. Parents make their kids an emotional and ideological windsock in a hurricane to begin with, and then the kids pass that spastic fervor on to their malleable dopes of parents. Basically a positive gain feedback loop.

"Art" meets mental illness. Exhibition displays trans curator’s amputated breasts in jar

An exhibition on physical beauty has displayed its transgender curator’s surgically removed breasts in a jar.

The Cult of Beauty show at the Wellcome Collection in London seeks to explore aesthetics “beyond binaries of beautiful or ugly”.

A display about “transness”, which charts the community’s “transcestors”, includes the breasts of E-J Scott, a transgender man.

Trigger warnings for visitors entering the exhibit tell them to expect “nudity, images of surgery and human tissue”.

WATCH: Joe Biden's Senior Moment of the Week (Vol. 90)
'Elect me, I'm in the 20th century'

However the bumbling and stumbling MushHead's foreign policy prowess is facing another serious defeat.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — The United States will begin plans to withdraw troops from Niger, U.S. officials said Saturday, in what experts say is a blow to Washington and its allies in the region in terms of staging security operations in the Sahel. The planned departure comes as U.S. officials said they were trying to find a new military agreement.

The prime minister of Niger, appointed by the ruling military junta, Ali Lamine Zeine, and U.S. deputy secretary of state Kurt Campbell, agreed on Friday that the two nations would begin to plan the withdrawal of American troops, the U.S. State Department told The Associated Press in an email Saturday.

*****


What will MushHead's response be? Perhaps a letter of reprimand and an entry into their permanent record?

A US military base in Syria has been struck by rockets in a Iraqi drone strike sparking fears for possible casualties.

The five rockets were fired toward the town of Zummar today, two Iraqi security sources told Reuters.

We have highlighted how the surface station record did not correspond to the temperatures recorded by global satellites and weather balloons, two alternative temperature data sources whose data sets closely track each other. Heartland has repeatedly exposed instances in both the United States and abroad where official agencies tamper with past temperature data at pristine stations, adjusting it to appear cooler than what was actually recorded, while adjusting recent temperatures upward. We were all over the adjustments made by corrupt NOAA scientists in 2015 before the Paris climate treaty negotiations—mixing data from unbiased ocean buoys with heat-biased temperature measurements taken from ships’ engine water intake inlets, which made it appear the ocean was suddenly warming faster than before.

Also, first, foremost, and most forcefully, we independently documented the serious problems with the official surface temperature record arising from the fact that the vast majority of temperature stations are poorly sited. Stations fail NOAA’s own standards for quality, unbiased stations in reporting temperatures skewed by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.

Texas Mom Went On Cruise, Left Young Kids Home Alone, Cops Charge

A Texas woman went on a cruise and left her children--an eight-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl--home alone in the family’s $3600-a-month apartment in Houston, police charge.

According to a criminal complaint, neighbors of Lakesha Woods Williams, 29, spotted her departing the luxury McKinley Apartments on April 4 with “luggage and bags” and “never saw her return to the location.”

Aware that children may have been left in the 21st floor apartment (which has a small balcony), a witness called police. Cops who visited the complex on April 9 discovered the two children in the apartment, which was “in complete disarray and had trash and left-over food all over the unit” and reeked of urine.

66 A brave man:

Dear President Shafik, Vice President Rosberg, COO Cas Halloway, General Counsel Rosan, and Dean Maglaras,

Last I checked, I am still a professor at Columbia University.

Therefore, I plan to go tomorrow, Monday morning, and sit peacefully right in the center of the illegal encampment that you have allowed the pro-Hamas mob to establish in the middle of campus.

I will be joined with several Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff.

Since the events of last night have shown that you have completely failed to protect the safety of your Jewish and Israeli students, I am requesting approval to have a police escort of at least 10 cops with me.

I would ask for escort from the school's Public Safety, but they have proven themselves useless versus these mobs, and I do not want to put their lives at risk.

We will be coming. I am an employee and they are your students. You have a responsibility to protect our physical safety.

Sincerely,
Shai Davidai

Caltrops work better if they only have four points, rather than six, so one always points straight up.

The four-sided dice from your D&D game are less fun to step on than legos, for that reason. I've never stepped on any jacks, even though I owned some as a kid, so I can't compare those.

There's a comedy series, Loudermilk starring Ron Livingston as a drug addict /alcoholic group facilitator with strong asshole tendencies, which featured a similar work of art. He's in some fancy shmancy art museum that features a Ziplock bag filled with water and one filled with oil nailed next to each other on a board hanging on the wall. An enlightened connoisseur explains that it represents turmoil in society from the inability to communicate and understand each other. He responds that he'd rather have shit and piss on his wall. The enlightened attack him for being such an unsophisticate. He responds no, it's right over there, a Ziplock of shit nailed next to one of piss nailed to the wall.

But when a relative died, the women cooked the body and they and their kids ate that meat. Problem was by consuming their dead relatives, they were ingesting Kreuzfeldt-Jakob disease. Nobody could figure why the women died so early of Alzheimer's but the men didn't until somebody took a good, hard look at what the Fore females were eating.

IIRC the book was titled Fatal Feast and was devoted to finding a connection between early onset Alzheimer's and the meat supply. Mad Cow disease.was part of that.

We saw her last on Thursday and found her yesterday PM, quite stiff, wedged behind the washer. She had a thing about water so I suspect kidney failure.

171 I have a good idea for Johnson & the House GOP. I've been waiting to post this for quite a while on an appropriate thread & not a "specialty" thread (food; ammo; first world problems; gardening & puttering). Here it is:

10 House DEMs from the defunct J6 committee have proposed the D.I.S.G.R.A.C.E.D. Act, i.e, "Denying Infinite Security & Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonest Former Protectees" Act.

This proposed law would strip President Trump of Secret Service protection if he's convicted of a felony. In other words, consign his safety to the same folks who protected Epstein & Jeffrey Dahmer.

I suggest that the Speaker ask his GOP colleagues to pass this bill out of committee, and then bring it to a vote before the full House. Call it the "Assassinate President Trump Act."

In addition, I suggest Johnson & the GOP also bring to a vote a resolution calling for Secret Service protection for RFK, Jr. Call this one the "Two Assassinations in One Family Is Enough" Act.

Obviously, the DEMs would like to see these two opponents eliminated by any means necessary.

Bring that to the attention of the American people.

They ask how they should know and he replies that they're obviously Civil War reenactors. This they angrily deny. Well, then you must be lumberjacks. This they also angrily deny. Well, then time travelors he says. We're a band they shout at him! Your band must be the Time Traveling Lumberjacks of the Confederacy he tells them and walks off.

Years ago there was a couple who did that. They went on a vacation to Mexico or somewhere. The cops met them at the airport when they got home. So, the cops walked up to them and the first thing these losers said was, "Can we get our luggage?" Not, "are the kids okay?"

Macron and the then-married Brigitte Trogneux met when he was 15 and she was 39. Apparently, they wasted little time gettin' busy, and when his Mère et Père found out, they sent him off to Paris to finish his secondary education. Mais non - they resumed their relationship, and were officially wed in 2007, when he was 30 and she was 54. Right now, Mme. Macron is engaged in a defamation suit against a couple of bloggers who claimed that she was a man who transitioned to a woman. Her three children by her first husband might be enough to sway the court's opinion.

https://youtu.be/gXPIRDlj-zc?si=gnZvNzKNl96zUPLM

From there next to last studio album. It was the last one with Dickey Betts. The last album, Hittin' the Note, had Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes. It's a great swan song of an album, FYI. All original members, except Jaimoe (John Lee Johnson), are dead. I understand as the years go by, these rockers that I grew up listening to are going to die. Some hit harder than most. SRV was a gut punch. Dickey Betts is more of a sadness that an era is almost over. I know, there are some torch bearers out there (Tedeschi/Trucks Band). Apparently some of the kids of Allman and Betts formed a band called Allman/Betts Band. I'm assuming Greg and Dicky's kids. I listened to them the other night. I liked them.

In Somalia and Ethiopia the Italians built paved roads in the 1930s. After 1950s those roads were mostly just dirt - the locals discovered that the pieces of paving could be used as a fire for cooking ... smelly cooking.

Problem is we are not beer drinkers so remembering names could be a problem. The two East African beers I can remember are Tusker (elephants) and Whitecap (Kilimanjaro). In South Africa it was mainly Pilsner, Guinness, and imported beers. Here I can come up with Strohb (sp?), Bud, Coors.

Yes, my late Chekov D. Siberian was like that, mostly white with black patches. I thought likening him to a panda instead of a cow was a bit more flattering.

My two feline thugs are doing well. Loss of Internet is not even on their radar, let alone something to concern themselves with.

367 Oh, and the Biden Administration announced that the IDF's Netzah Yehuda Battalion will be placed under sanctions for alleged crimes in the West Bank this week, and is looking at sanctioning other IDF units.
This, of course, is a precursor to sanctioning the entire IDF, and preparing for international war crimes trials against the IDF leadership and the civilian Israeli leadership.

I'm looking into that at the moment, I'd like to see what that's about and how it's legally possible to sanction a single unit of an official army. Also who is sanctioning who and on what grounds precisely. Aharon Barak is the likely defense, and he is currently in Brussels taking back everything he's ever previously said in an apparent attempt to avoid getting Goldstoned, which is another Thing I'm fascinated by.

Check out the brand names that rent the tents at Oktoberfest (which of course begins in mid-
September and runs through the end of the first Sunday in October - with a length of 16-18 days, depending). Why call something that begins in mid-September and only ends as October is gradually entering the sttaion "Oktoberfes"? DENN DAS SIND DIE REGELN! Seriously, though, google it up and you'll see a healthy amount of Carlsberg, a Danish import that is really gaining ground in Germany (and a personal favorite of mine).

You'll also seea a profusion of Weißbier. Märzenbier is a perennial, and you can expect to see Staatliches Hofbräuhaus ,Augustiner-Bräu, Löwenbräu, and Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu. All recommended!

372 It's part of my bucket list to visit Oktoberfest when it's in full swing - my wife and I have joked that we should wear the family Trachen, the peasant costume that your family is entitled to wear, based on your Land or Stadt or origin (in my case, Heilbromm, or I could choose between the Trachen from the village of Leuthen in Baden-Wurtemberg or even the canton of Turgau in Switzerland from my mother's side of the family). It would be tremendous fun exchanging "Grüß Gott" with everyone and consuming all the local delicacies provided by the lovely Mädchen in their dirndls. The only caution would be in trying to keep the celebration going from bad to wurst.

Gun Thread: NoVAMoMe Registration is Open Edition!

042124 hello-moron scaled.jpg

Howdy, Y'all! Welcome to the wondrously fabulous Gun Thread! As always, I want to thank all of our regulars for being here week in and week out, and also offer a bigly Gun Thread welcome to any newcomers who may be joining us tonight. Howdy and thank you for stopping by! I hope you find our wacky conversation on the subject of guns 'n shooting both enjoyable and informative. You are always welcome to lurk in the shadows of shame, but I'd like to invite you to jump into the conversation, say howdy, and tell us what kind of shooting you like to do!

Holy Celebratory Shitballs! How in the ever-loving hell did it get to be 2024 NoVAMoMe Registration time?

With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we?

******

2024 NoVAMoMe
Alright, guys and gals, the long awaited and highly anticipated opening of 2024 NoVAMoMe registration is upon us! That's right, registration for the event of the season is open, which means you can register to attend! You see, in order to attend, you must first register, and then wait for June 8th, and then attend! It's really more of an application to attend based on whether we like you or not, but what have you got to lose?!

Q: Weasel, your world frightens and confuses us. How do we, how do you say, register for the NoVAMoMe?
A: Welp, given the intended audience we've tried to keep it pretty darn easy!

First, check your calendars for June 8th, 2024, and cancel anything already planned. Good so far? Then simply send an email to WeaselBell Productions expressing your interest, then sit back and anxiously wait for a reply. Our pal and most delightful 'ette and MoMe Hostess Extraordinaire bluebell will review your application and relevant permanent record notations to decide if you're NoVAMoMe material. If you're one of those selected, you'll get a reply with a link and secret password to the registration site containing all the pertinent details. Look these over and complete the simple registration form, following the PayPal link provided at the end of the form to make your payment. The $30 pp fee covers appetizers, dinner (BBQ Chicken, hamburdogs, sides, and dessert) plus an unlimited amount of fun! Since we must guarantee a headcount to the caterer, all registrations must be made online by May 26th. We are not accepting payment for registration at the door. You do not need a PayPal account to register and can pay with any major credit card.

A NoVAMoMe PSA from our pal bluebell

Hi folks - just a quick PSA. If you write for info about the MoMe, please give us a few words in the body of the email just so I know you are a Moron and not a spammer (moron). I do receive spam on this email account because it's sitting right here in my nic, so that's why I'm asking. I don't want to give our details to a spammer. Also, once registered, remember to check your spam folder if you don't receive a confirmation email.

Thanks.
bluebell

HINT: Try not to sound crazy in your email to bluebell.

Seriously, just send an email, go to the site with the password provided, fill out the simple form, and make your payment. If you forget, a link to the email is on the main page, left sidebar. If you do not sign up, bluebell will be disappointed. Weasel will be disappointed, too, but it's bluebell you need to worry about.

Win a Dream Date with Weasel!
Due to popular demand, we are again conducting a separate raffle for a Dream Date with Weasel This fabulous prize includes an entire day of shooting and personalized one-on-one handgun & rifle coaching and instruction at Weasel Acres on a mutually agreeable date with yours truly. The lucky winner will be able to not only bring and shoot their own weapons, but also try out a variety of WeaselWeapons using WeaselAmmo!

We will end the day with dinner at a good Mexican place in nearby Appomattox. The winner will be responsible for their travel to and from Central Virginia, hence the separate drawing.

Don't be a pathetic girly-man loser, register today!

Q: Weasel, anything else for 2024?
A: Why I'm glad you asked! There are in fact TWO things to mention for 2024.

First-o, we are again having a pre-party get-together the afternoon/evening before the main event. Details at the registration site.

Dos-o, we are again offering a NoVAMoMe commemorative mug for 2024 available only to NoVAMoMe participants!

We sincerely hope you can join the festivities. I promise you this event is as laid back and non-anxiety inducing as humanly possible, and nothing makes me happier than to meet new people who have been reluctant to join in the past. If sitting on the sidelines and just observing is your thing, you can do just that with zero pressure from anyone. I hope some of the past NoVAMoMe participants will jump in and share their thoughts on the event to inspire the scairdy-cat lurkers out there to throw caution to the wind and sign up!

That's it, people. Email WeaselBell Productions today!

Fundamentals

Guess what?! Fundamentals time!!! To-date we have covered stance, grip and sight alignment.

Q: Weasel, what is left besides yanking on the trigger like a monkey hopped-up on 8 balls?
A: You're not ready for trigger work. You can't handle trigger work.

Have you been practicing and building on the fundamentals covered so far? Every time you are introduced to a new or different skill or concept, it must be practiced to commit it to memory and this process never stops. Have you gone to the range and really focused on the things we have covered so far? Are you taking range notes on the things you have tried, noting what has worked and what hasn't worked? If not, why not? Shooting is a fun and interesting hobby, but to do it well certain skills must be learned, practiced and kept current. If you are the sort of shooter who goes to the range once a year for funsies and doesn't much care about results, then just skip down to the SEH gal section now. No point in reading further. However, if you are someone who wants to achieve a level of basic competency, and then maintain and improve upon it, you need to practice frequently. There isn't a shortcut, or 'one weird trick' that is going to help you.

Tough Love Department
And for Pete's sake, buying the latest 'new' gun isn't going to change much if you don't know how to shoot the gun you already have. I'm serious people. If you are having trouble or are not seeing repeatable results, buying a new gun to fix the problem is only going to give you less money for ammo and two guns you can't shoot. The problem is very likely you. It's never a popular discussion, but one I have had with a lot of new shooters on rifle teams. Chances are, spending a bunch of dough on the latest and greatest thing is only going to show results if you are already performing at a more advanced level. Learn the basic fundamentals of marksmanship, apply what you have learned on a regular basis, and all the other stuff like small groups and impressing range babes will take care of itself. Then go get a new gun.

So where does that leave us? Ah yes, trigger work.

I shoot with the trigger in the center, or maybe very slightly past, the pad of my index finger, which I think is the general consensus of how you're supposed to do it. I pull back smoothly and steadily until any slack is taken up and I am ready to break the shot, then continue past the break and pause for a second or two before allowing the trigger to reset. During the entire process, I am focusing all of my brain molecules on some aspect of fundamentals and not jiggling the gun around in the process. That's it. That's what I do and it seems to work for me. For those paying attention to their breathing rhythm, I try to time the shot about 95% of the way through the exhale. The reason? I do not want to end up waiting until the bottom of the cycle and then holding my breath as everything gets lined up if any final adjustment is needed.

Let's look at a couple of videos.

Will you look at that watch!

Tell time from space!!

SEALs need to tell time too! This guy makes some very good points.

One final (ha!) point from WeaselDoctrine; taking a bag o' guns to the range is fun, but is not at all conducive to developing and mastering basic marksmanship skills. Every gun has a different feel, whether it's from caliber and recoil, grip, sights or trigger mechanisms. Shooting three or four different guns in a single hour-long range session isn't training, it's really just confusing the issue. They all feel different because they are all different, and you are doing almost nothing to reinforce any of them into your memory, because the training is not additive. Rather, you have shot a lot of valuable ammo and received very little in return in the form of fundamentals development because each time you pick up a different gun, you're essentially starting from scratch. Splitting up your range time into little 10 or 15 minute segments firing different weapons gains you virtually nothing, and you will be hard pressed to reliably recall specifics of any of them.

If you're serious, focus on one thing at a time. Just my .02.

Guns of the Horde
First up, our pal Hairyback Guy shares a real beauty!

Here are pics of my Springfield Armory SA48 FAL in 5.56. Springfield Armory brought about 700 of these into the country back in the 1990s and every once in a while you will see one pop up for sale. Exactly like a FAL in 7.62, except the barrel and bolt face are of course different as well as a magazine well insert welded in place for 5.56 magazines. Weighs about 10 pounds but is a great shooter and very accurate out to 500 yards. Had wood furniture on it when I got her but I like the standard FAL buttstock and Brit pebble grain handguards which I installed along with a standard FAL flash hider.

Gun Thread Homework!

042124 homework scaled.jpg

Ok, this was fun a few weeks ago and a lot of you chose to participate, which does my old withered heart good! So I am going to ask you to watch this short video presentation sometime this week, and return next Sunday prepared to discuss your thoughts. Please don't comment on it tonight in order to give everyone who is interested a chance to watch and participate in the conversation. You will have a week to think about your reaction when in real life the decisions are being made in seconds.

This video is from an attorney in WA who gives the legal perspective on what you can and cannot do when your car is surrounded by a mob of peaceful protestors. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to place yourself in the driver's situation and decide what you would have done a) without first watching lawyer-guy, and 2) what if anything you might have done differently after watching lawyer-guy.

Bonus Question: Do you know the relevant law(s) in your state? How does it differ from what was described in the video?

I hate to say it, but as this year goes on, I think the likelihood of our seeing these situations again will only go up. I truly believe it's a very good idea to think of these sort of scenarios and what your reaction might be in advance.

Cigar of the Week

042124 rhomboid Olmec 2 scaled.jpg

This week our pal rhomboid scores again with this excellent review of the Foundation Olmec Robusto

Foundation Cigar company's founder and blender Nick Melillo loves him some history. Several of his lines and individual sticks are named for historical objects, periods, or civilizations. I reviewed his Charter Oak shade (named for a famous tree in his home state of Connecticut) here a while back.

The Olmec (robusto, 5 X 50) has a toothy ( = somewhat rustic finish, with veins) wrapper, a dark chocolate brown from the San Andres region of Mexico. The Olmec civilization is believed to be among the first users of tobacco, and inhabited this region. Binder is Nicaraguan, filler "undisclosed". It's softly box-pressed. Construction is nice, burn was even, lots of smoke. The company considers it full-bodied, I'd say at least the stronger end of medium-full. For me the flavor started with a brief period of classic maduro cocoa notes, but soon shifted to predominantly earth, leather, and some hint of a spice I can't put my finger on (surprise!). I'd bet more sophisticated palates would pick up a lot more, and would enjoy this one. The Olmec maduro is available online for $13 and up.

Excellent, rhomboid! Thank you!

******

Here are some different online cigar vendors. You will find they not only carry different brands and different lines from those brands, but also varying selections of vitolas (sizes/shapes) of given lines. It's good to have options, especially if you're looking for a specific cigar.

A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid

Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

***Mail Bag***

This week's mailbag entry is from our pal WTM. I'm somewhat surprised this wasn't a game changer. (fyi - Weasel hates the term "game-changer")

042124 WTM mailbag scaled.jpg

Are there any historical weapons that were complete failures? Oh yeah. This weapon (The Krummlauf) was a German invention that was supposed to allow soldiers to shoot around corners. It seemed like a great idea, but it was a total failure. It would break after 150-300 rounds making it useless for long term use. The bullets would shatter in the gun causing a "shotgun" effect. It was a disaster of a weapon that never did any good.

18 Sadly, I will not be able to attend this years NoVAMoMe.

Also, no range report either. I can blame what ever I caught on my trip down to Texas the other weekend. Took over a week to shake and only now am I getting back to normal.

That being said I really should invest in an at home training system. I spend 2 days a week working from home, who says I cannot take the pistol out for a little practice while reconciling accounts? Just have to make sure the camera is turned off when on a Teams meeting. :-p

20 Range report for the week: Strapped on a reasonably sized watch and went to work on grip and trigger control with my handgun. Incremental improvement underway. Getting to mechanics that feel more comfortable and natural. Glimpses of very, very good and periodic reminders of humility. The instant feedback of seeing the hole in the paper is unambiguous. It is either good or it isn't. The rangebabe I was shooting with did well too. Progress... Thanks to the horde for suggestions last week. Looking forward to watching the trigger control videos in the content.

I own the Strikeman (https://www.strikeman.io/) entry-level system and have had good experiences with it. It's decent for the price point (current <$100 with laser cartridge included) and your smartphone. In case confederatefifth is around, I will point out that it's completely usable with a non-Internet connected smartphone, in case you're worried about Bob from NSA tracking your training prowess.

I bet most of us are still hung on thinking in terms of 2019 dollars. We're no longer there unfortunately, and $1500 is, using food inflation numbers, a $750 or so gun from back then.

So you might regret not buying it at these cheap prices.

54 Good evening fellow enthusiasts. I have not been to the range in 3 weeks! Bummer.
I did however obtain the Holosun Carry MRS green dot for my new lavender Glock. It was a bit expensive but looks like everything required to put it on is in the neat little box it came in. The dot is crystal clear and from what I have been reading, the green dot is especially good for 29 year old eyes.
I also got a set of electronic ear buds. Only problem is that the parts are so tiny I'm afraid to open the little plastic bags. But I will get it done because I intend to make up for my lack of range time next weekend.

61 Fundamentals!

Went to the range for the first time this month and focused on trigger pull.

Did the "same hole" drill. Five shots at 3,5,7,10 and 15 yards each, trying to hit the same hole. I did ok. I focused on pulling the trigger straight back, smoothly, on the last part of an exhale. I also pulled the trigger about ever 3-4 seconds, which is really slow.

Took a few shots to get back in the groove. Was shooting my EMP Ronin. Good pistol.

63 On laser dry fire systems - we own a n iTarget system. It is very basic and serviceable. If I were to buy another I would get the MantisX Academy. One, Stav from She Equips Herself recommends it, though she could probably talk me into any number of bad decisions.

Second, watching the reviews, it offers more activities - different types of targets, etc. It costs a little more as a result but I think worth it.

It's the same with shooting. The one constant - regardless of weather, illness, batteries, range babes, or tightness of socks - is you. You can either be the rock amidst the storm or the plastic grocery bag being tossed about by cars on the highway. But it's you either way.

Now that I have your attention...
If you are planning on coming and want to shoot with the DMV MGC on Sunday at our range which is not too far from where the mome is being held, you need to let me know asap.

86 Splitting up your range time into little 10 or 15 minute segments firing different weapons gains you virtually nothing
The "let's take a bunch of guns" is good for two things (aside from sometimes it's just fun), IMO:
1) Cycling through some firearms that you don't shoot often. You're making sure they work and that you remember where the buttons are and what the ammo looks like.
2) Familiarization. I want to get my wife to the range and let her shoot a few different types so she can just have an idea what they will feel like and can figure out how to operate them if she needs to.

Of course, shooting in those ways (assuming you're not the one being familiarized) requires solid fundamentals, so you don't end up just throwing a bunch of lead away.

89 2 of _ (Range Report continued)
I did somewhat violate WeaselDoctrine in that I fired more than one pistol during yesterday's and today's outings. I hadn't fired my Ruger LCP mouse gun in quite a while, and since it's my T shirt and shorts weather grab and go to Walmart piece, I put about 50 rounds through it. It has a Crimson Trace laser attached that is pretty useless in bright sunshine, so I mostly used the vestigial sights. Actually, not too bad. Definitely minute of bad guy. It is an uncomfortable gun to shoot, though, and I don't even have extra-large hands. And the trigger sucks. Of course, all triggers suck if you compare them to a 1911.

90 I actually read the directions and it doesn't look too difficult but I either need help from a friend or will have to take it to a gunsmith. My pistol is an MOS and this particular sight is made specifically to fit the G48 MOS, G43x mos and the Hellcat and the plate is in the package.

You'll need to clean the area(s) throughly, use some thread locker (I prefer Vibra-Tite VC3, but blue Loc Tite will work), and an inch-pound torque wrench. (Probably either 18 or 25 inch-pounds, but the instructions will have the manufacturer's recommendation.)

97 The Nation's Gun Show returned to the nation's capital this weekend - I can hear that in the radio announcer voice. sra blaster and I took her sister to the show to get a holster (We met EdL. there too). We got her into an S&W 9mm EZ and she got her carry permit soshe needed a holster. We found a place with really minimal IWB holsters that have a nifty clip that you can flip up and clip on, not just a static piece of plastic or metal. So of course sra blaster needed one of those, too.

Lots of COLOR in the gun field now. Lots of wraps and paints and molded polymers.... It's kind of astounding.

In this instance, the torque "wrench" is used instead of a screwdriver. You want to get the screws set to a particular (and even) of tightness. The instructions should say what that is in "inch-pounds". The recommended inch-pound setting may be different for the adapter plate to slide screws and the sight to adapter plate screws.

126 I came home from Chantilly w/ a 1959 Colt Detective Special. Although the finish and grips are well worn, the rifling of the barrel still looks sharp. I took it to this afternoon's range session to test fire it. At 10 yards, I was able to get good hits on the target firing in double action. I tried speeding up my shots and saw my accuracy go down the drain. Although it's still a viable carry gun, this Detective Special is more of a collector's item than an everyday carry piece.

136 Hello Weasel and horde....apologies for my tardiness, just some business that had to be addressed. Have I been to the range? Yes, indeed. Still working on the grip. Why? I thought I had a fix, but then TRex keeps saying "Weasel buddy Geoff" says blah, blah, blah...so I am now, at least according to TRex, shooting with a Weasel buddy Geoff approved grip. They don't necessarily go where I intend, but they are all clustered, generally within the black circle. Of course, I have a reliable stream of strays. I learned this weekend that I tend to tense my shoulders before shooting, and when I breathe and relax, the bullets find their way closer to the intended target. So, baby step progress and much more to learn....

I used to be "that guy" but I have been drastically downsizing. I am down to two guns safes now and I am concentrating on PCC's and lever guns at the present. Almost all of my long range stuff has been sold. Old eyes and not many places left to shoot over 200 yards are the reasons for that.

And you know who has been looking for a pistol? sra blaster, that's who. She wanted a pistol for her man (that would be me). Yeah, I know, I said maybe I wanted a tractor instead, but we were there and there was exactly one P226 Legion RXP in the whole show. One. And it was listed at MSRP which they all are online. Our range/gun shop marks theirs up $60. So we have been waiting for it to come down in price a bit.

sra blaster asks "what's your best price?" Guy goes and gets the boss and they took $105 off the price -which was the number she was looking for. Soooo.

A P226 Legion RXP followed us home.

I’ve done a number of training sessions designed to simulate real life scenarios. Even knowing it was fake controlling my breathing, heart rate and repetitive gun movement was a challenge.

Thankfully so far I haven’t ever been in a spot where it was real. So far……

Keep training

AR -10 folks, what is your favorite load?
I’m at 225+ rounds and still looking for a sweet spot.
Speer manual and Hornady manual are out of whack with each other. Hornady starts at 33 grains for a 168 and ends at 37. Speer starts at 37 and ends at 42. Safely, I tried Hornady and got MV under 2000, and no good nodes.

I have the Strikeman system. It seems decent, but the tripod they send for your phone is inadequate for my needs. (My phone pops out of it, being thicker than it likes; and they said size doesn't matter.)

Once I get a different clamp I can put on a regular tripod (it also seems to count on you having dresser space or something to set everything down) it will be used a LOT.

173 So, range report: Massive Failure edition

I went out the day before to confirm data on the loads I was running through the 06. (178 grain Hornady ELD Match @ 2675fps) Data confirmed, I headed home, cleaned the rifle, figuring the sight in shots would take care of the fouling needed to bring the rifle back into zero.

I thought I had things lined up after a few practice shots, then started shooting for score @600 yards, 5 shots downrange at a 10" plate, and zero hits. It was so bad, I quit the match after my first 5 shots, because, as I told everyone, "No reason to keep throwing lead downrange when you don't know where the shots are going." No idea what's gone wrong and will hit the range next Friday to see if I can work it out.

A 10" plate at 600 yards should be a walk in the park, at this point. Instead, that plate had me for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Ah, so it goes.

175 Today we had a smaller contingent at the DMV MGC with Horthgar, Ed L., sra blaster, and myself.

Speaking of color, sra blaster wanted a "skin" for her P320 to help differentiate our P320s. She got this really subtle "Galactic Landscape" skin that is not flashy, but if you look at it you see the shades of purple and the stars.

And the new P226 went right to the range. Right out of the box, that thing is a shooter! It is very, very nice. I like it a LOT. I have a classic West German P226 that I like, but this one is much, much better.

And now the laager contains 2 Sig P226s, 2 Sig P320s, and 2 Sig P365s. I guess we are a Sig family now.

Situational awareness.

LA is also very big, so your experience will depend a lot on where you are. Stay on the freeways unless you know where you're going. GPS directions don't always take into account the risk profile of local neighborhoods. If you don't have contacts there but need help in a pinch, give us a shout. We have a few friends there who haven't left the state yet. Happy travels.

SRA blaster wanted to try full power .44 Magnum loads. So I brought my S&W pre-Model 29 to try w/ some Underwood defensive loads: 180 grain jacketed hollow points moving at 1680 feet per second at the muzzle. For comparison, the .44 Special loads we shot were 240 grain FMJ moving at a lazy 825 feet per second. The first Magnum load SRA blaster fired gave her a bit of a shock. The muzzle blast and concussion from those .44 Magnum defense loads will rock your world. But she came back and tried a couple more Magnum rounds before calling it a day.

216 So, I have major problems that I am confronting so no range time for me. BUT...

As a result of Eclipse Day, I pulled out from my mom's house my three guns that I left there in a Pelican case after a range visit in February. (It was leave them there or fly with them to VA and then take them into areas where they were and are verboten, like federal property and the Soviet Socialist Republic of MD.) So...I need to clean them to fully have them reconstituted and pressed back into service. Cleaning began with the Beretta because it wants lots of lubrication and does not take well to dry firing. I have two more to go but I'll be done with that this week.

Looking at range time next month after the retirement has passed.

217 Today I kept hearing weasel in the back of my head - "fundamentals." Oddly enough, the one I needed to keep working on and overtly thinking of was trigger finger placement. I find when I wrap my finger around the trigger and get the crease of the first joint around it, I jerk it off target. When I focus on using the pad of my finger, it shoots where I aim it.

There's a couple kinds of range visits.

One is when people bring all kinds of fun, funky, never handled (by me) guns of all types and calibers and I get to fire a few rounds and see how I do and what feels right.

Two is when you are actually training yourself to fire a certain firearm consistently. That's the one gun day.

I like both. But I do spend more time with only a couple of my guns, the ones I actually carry.

We have lurkers that attend each year and sometimes they even start commenting. In fact, we have a fair number of them right here in this thread! But we also have lurkers who come each year and don't comment on the blog, and that's just fine.

And of course we have regular commenters too. It's just a fun place to meet up with like-minded people and enjoy the day. We would love to see you here on June 8.

It's like the Inquisition: you never expect it.
Start with a couple that work in your price range. Then decide that one would be better than the one you have because {numerous reasons}. But you don't want to get rid of any. So you slowly and inevitably accumulate them.

But it really doesn't have to be large to be a collection and to be fun and enjoyable.

And then you have to keep track of which of your treasures you've recently fired and which you haven't yet fired and which you should go back and re-fire.

Trust me, it doesn't have to be anything fancy. Pick a date, pick a place where everyone can gather (usually an informal restaurant is a good starting place), and ask CBD to put a notice in the sidebar. Most MoMes are pretty small events, especially when getting started, so are pretty easy to do!

Posted by: bluebell - NoVaMoMe registration now open! at April 21, 2024 09:08 PM (bS+DD)

328 And then you have to keep track of which of your treasures you've recently fired and which you haven't yet fired and which you should go back and re-fire. And then people have new treasures that you don't have but sound interesting, so you add them to your pile. At least I think that's how this works...

Posted by: Duncanthrax at April 21, 2024 09:12 PM (a3Q+t)

342 Hullo!

Guns!

I'm late! Sorry. But having a puppy means much less free time for playing online.

I want to praise my Don Hume holster...to a point. I don't enjoy carrying in kydex, though kydex makes the draw easier. But a fine leather holster can make carrying a handgun much easier. So Don Hume doesn't make holster for the PSA Dagger but I hoped that buying a Glock 23 holster would work. Well...not perfectly. The suppressor-height sights on the red-dot mounted PSA dagger snags on the leather. Sometimes. Not always but...just often enough.

Something to maybe worry about but I'm not as fast as I used to be and the holster doesn't actually kill my draw, just slows it. So...so far I'm keeping it. Until I change my mind. Again. I have a lot of handguns to carry....

346 No Shooting Report this week, alas. But, these (in reverse order).

I. I really REALLY like the pistol grip on Hairyback Guy's FN/FAL. That CURES the one thing I've never liked about those rifles; the radical grip angle as "from factory".

II. Y'all remember Bernadette Peters... roles in Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, etc? She played a one-night show here in Galveston, last week. "A Night With Bernadette Peters". No I didn't get to see the show.

But I *was* her driver, returning she, her Personal Manager and her Sound Engineer, back to IAH Bush Intercontinental Airport, for their flights back to NYC.

Turns out though, the Sound Engineer turned out to be a formerly, very active IDPA and Cowboy Action Shooter, in his previous California life. He still has two safes stuffed with guns out there, in fact. We had quite the enjoyable conversation along the way. Ms. Peters even acknowledged appreciating his interests in Our Sport.

And, I was able to give Mr. Engineer a bit of a run through on the "Blank, Featureless Wall" and double-action revolver approach to the Dry Fire Drill. (with snap caps, of course!)

348 I attended my first MoMe in VA in 2020 after moving to MD 3 weeks prior. A month later, having never shot a gun in my life, I was shooting pistols and rifles at an out door range in Manassas. Three months later, in October, I found myself in Texas getting a hug from Ben Had.

Assembled the two PSA AR kits on hand. Always a bit of trepidation but as it turns out I shouldn't have had any.

Both ran flawlessly. The build was actually pretty easy, interestingly enough. Although my dad taught me how to field strip and clean a 1911 as a teenager so guns are mostly tools.

399 ...How does one start a conversation like that at the risk of possibly offending a paying customer? Posted by: Oddbob at April 21, 2024 09:20 PM (/y8xj)


He had asked me "so, whadday do when you're not driving?"

Reading things, writing things, building things...shooting things. He kinda glommed onto that last one, like a drowning man to a life-ring. As he's residing now in New York City, one would certainly commiserate with his plight.

And so, the conversation, began.

We do have friends in the most unexpected places.

440 Re: The $1500 gun you want.

I had a couple 9mm. One was a Beretta that shoots high and right, no matter what I do. I also have a .357 that can stop traffic passing by the range by sound alone. I took it in my head that I wanted a long-slide 9mm that would extract better performance from a 9mm cartridge so I wouldn’t need any new ammo.

A nearby gun range offers rentals, and they had the long-slide Glock (I forget the model), so I went to try it. I had a purchase all planned, optics and all. I wanted so badly to like the weapon, but it just wasn’t working. So I asked to try an Sig and this silly looking orange and black gun. The Sig was a work of art, but I wondered about a single-stack 9.

I tried the orange gun first. It pointed like a finger, it fired with no recoil at all. It had the most amazing trigger, and it fit my hand like a glove. When I went back, someone else had the Sig, and I was on my way to buying a CZ Tactical Sport Orange, at somewhere around $1200.

What is it worth to find a firearm that hits what you point it at? It is the only handgun that I’m surprised to find myself at the end of a magazine, it’s so effortless to use.

Food Thread: Old Blighty And Older Holiday Edition

passoverplate.jpg

Passover! It's a remembrance of 400 years of slavery in Egypt, and our ultimate liberation, courtesy of God. That led to all sorts of interesting things, like monotheism, the 10 Commandments, Judaism, the creation of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the building and destruction of two temples in Jerusalem, Christianity, the Jewish Diaspora, the founding of the modern state of Israel, and of course Matzoh Brei!

But the Passover Seder also requires a meal, and I'll be prepping one for 12 people, so this Food ThreadTM will be long on photos and short on snappy commentary.

I don't have much time (you'll see why down below), so I have planned a meal with as little prep as possible, but still...12 people eat a lot, especially since there will be five documented trenchermen at the table.

And there are traditional foods that are a requirement. The big one is Matzoh Ball Soup. That's actually easy to make, but it does take a fair amount of time, and even more refrigerator space! Luckily I have more than a gallon of homemade chicken stock in the freezer, plus more than a quart of "Glace de Viande," which is a concentrated meat stock that packs an incredible punch. I use it to fortify the chicken stock and make it intense and satisfying (Pro tip...if you want to make it, try to find chicken feet and put them in the stock pot. They are loaded with collagen, which really helps).

There is also the traditional fish course, usually in the form of an amazingly unappetizing food called "gefilte fish." I have omitted it, and usually replace it with something more pleasant, like a salmon tartare. Bu that requires a fair amount of prep, so I am cheating this year and serving salmon sushi rolls. The rice is problematic for Askenazi Jews, but I have Sephardic blood in me so I will happily adhere to the tradition that rice is just fine for Passover!

Then, a large amount of beef, a potato gratin, some roasted green beans with shallots, and a superb flourless chocolate cake (PDF), whose recipe is courtesy of shivmaster Bluebell.

That's it. Although now that I look at it I realize that there is a fair amount of prep to be done, so off to the pictures!

******

Why am I rushed? Because we just got back from the UK, and then yesterday our delightful new(ish) neighbors had a Crawfish Boil! The weather was perfect, the crawfish were the best he's ever made, and I got my ass kicked in the Corn Hole tournament.
******

buttersole.jpg

Roast Lemon Sole sauteed in butter, served with tiny little brown shrimp (quite briny...and tasty!) and fresh capers. The Brits know how to cook fish, and they are not shy about using fat.

******

perfectchips.jpg

They also know how to make chips. In fact, I will go out on a limb and say that the Brits make the best in the world. They have the technique down, and their potatoes are excellent.

******

MSKitchen1.jpg

I stopped into a Marks And Spencer store for a sausage roll, and saw this shelf as I was wandering around (click on the photo to enlarge it). The store was a small convenience store...nothing like the flagship stores, but the cooking supply shelf was amazing!

Sadly, they had run out of sausage rolls, and I had to settle for a thoroughly pedestrian sandwich. I'm still upset.

******

chocomayo.jpg

Is this real? I certainly hope not.

******

tartarepotato.jpg

That's beef tartare on a bed of crispy layered potatoes. The beef was good, but nothing special. The potatoes were great! Crispy and crunchy and just delicious.

By the way, these are not fine dining restaurants. I would describe them as "Fine Pub Food" joints. That's why I tout English cooking. They have upped their game in the last generation and the traditional reputation of English cooking is no longer deserved.

******

fightfood.jpg

******

Good butter, and Flap Meat...whatever the hell that is...just send it, Broccolini that isn't $6/bunch, garlic...lots of garlic!, well-marbled hanger steaks and elk chops to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

Who are those poor deluded souls who shake their Manhattans? These are the same people who drink fine bourbon with coke, and probably shake red wine with ice too.

However, I will give dispensation to those who use maple syrup on Brussels Sprouts! I tried that and it worked nicely. I still prefer Agave, but still...

And yes, I used to demand fancy bourbon, but let's face it, $1,200 for a bottle of bourbon is just stupid, insulting, and a ghastly affront to most people's palates and wallets. I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.

24 So, Safeway/HMart were my shops this weekend.

Safeway was a random mix of way discounted/clearance ingredients that will inspire some future recipes - 1. pickled ginger for my TBD sushi bake where I take a terrible and dairy filled online recipe that's a good concept and try to actually make it work well and 2. preserved lemons that will inspire something Morrocan or something crazy and 3. a 29 oz jar of Libby's pure pumpkin for $1.50 that may become a future chili and bread...

Hmart is tonight's dinner - Marinated chicken thighs with my kid's homemade sourdough, an arugula/green leaf/cucumber salad, and a dragonfuit blueberry salad. Red Velvet cake (vanilla icing for dairy free) for dessert.

I had a batch of home-made mayonnaise that wouldn't emulsify for some reason, so I used it to make cookies - it has egg and oil so I figured it wouldn't be a stretch

applications of mayo are not what is in dispute. Using it as an ingredient (standard, God fearing mayo) in something sweet is acceptable and ye, even good.

Chocolate Mayo that you could accidently squirt onto a ham and muenster sandwich you were making alongside mustard is NOT acceptable.

The rice is problematic for Askenazi Jews, but I have Sephardic blood in me so I will happily adhere to the tradition that rice is just fine for Passover!

My sister came up hot for Ashkenazi Jew in a DNA test, so guess I'm hot too. Don't know the traditions very well but are we supposed to be like the Hatfields and McCoys? 'Cause I'm in PA across the Delaware River from 'Jersey and there's some tradition there too, about crossing it in the middle of the night.

So confusing. Anyway, roast beef wrap tonight. Sous vide roast beef. Tender, succulent beef.

52 So I spent some $$$ on a jar of beef tallow. Did some french fries with it. Yum. Added a bit to a beef/veg/noodle stir fry.

--

I make beef bone broth and save the tallow that rises to the surface, strain it, cool it, then keep it in small mason jars in the fridge. It's indistinguishable from the expensive store bought kind.

To be fair, I would only try mayo now b/c I can't do butter. I was a northern "butter is supreme" fan, but in the south, they don't think that way for grilling sandwiches (probably b/c they put so much butter in everything else)...

PS - And since I get campfire mayo at Red Robin for sweet potato fries (and that's just BBQ sauce and mayo), I am willing to keep an open mind for how "X" might work in a mayo for sweet potato fries (which can't be dipped in ketchup b/c that's gross) - normally, my home go-to is a homemade maple mayo with a ton of black pepper...chocolate doesn't seem right for sweet potato fries, but I'm not against a sweet co-concept in mayo...

But I really hate mayo, it gags me. I make my chicken salad with Greek yogurt. Note I am in the Deep South when you use dukes for salads like this and I can’t tell you how many people rave over mine that has not a drop of mayo in in it.

Ha!

I accepted the challenge. I haven’t tasted the rice dish I made, but I will, just to see if I was able to hide the taste of the chicken-a la - tin.
Once I went to a class for budget meal making. The teacher prepared some mess with canned chicken. She served it up, I said: oh I’m going to eat at that table over there, then kept walking out the door and dumped the plate in the nearest sidewalk trash can
Posted by: kallisto at April 21, 2024 04:53 PM (+menU)

Budget shouldn't mean bad. Canned chicken isn't cheaper ounce for ounce vs "fresh" chicken, so it really shouldn't be a choice unless you are getting food donated from a church (and that's less a "budget" class than a social services class). Fresh drumsticks or legs are the way to go if you have to save a lot.

And for all you mayo on grilled cheese h8trs, mayo can be a perfectly acceptable sub for butter in certain cases. Grilled Cheese being an excellent one. It goes on the outside of the bread prior to grilling. Has to real mayo. None of that light or diet stuff and definitely not Miracle Whip.

131 Salmon Chowder.

Posted by: naturalfake at April 21, 2024 04:52 PM (eDfFs)

I love salmon, but I have had salmon chowder and it is not my cup of...um...fish.

Too strongly flavored. Try it with cod...that's yummy. And you can get the recipe from "Moby Dick!"
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at April 21, 2024 04:54 PM (gSZYf)


Did you take the skin off the salmon?

That's the big trick with salmon chowder. Either you or your fishmonger need to remove the skin and get rid of that nasty skin/fat.

Then your salmon chowder will be ethereally and delightfully but not overwhelmingly salmony and velvety and delicioso.

Though I do like the idea of getting then eating a recipe from Moby Dick. I'll have to try that out.

132 Being goy, I’ve only been to a few Passover Seders. Crazy amount of time and energy goes into it. Brisket, chicken, and matzo ball soup is delish. There’s this fruit and nuts thing (don’t remember the name) that’s also tasty. But gefilte fish is the nastiest shit on the planet. I’d rather have my circumcision on my 18th birthday than eat that stuff. I swear it’s an ancient joke the rabbis played on the faithful to trick them into eating it.

146 Canned meats....

Back during the COVID dark ages my wife bought canned beef and chicken. She made a white chicken chili with a can of the chicken a couple days ago and it wasn't any different tasting or in consistency from fresh chicken.

Well, it was simmered and seasoned to death, but still.

I'm borderline curious about the beef. Not sure what would be a good meal to make with it. It's not seasoned, but is salted and in some sort of broth like substance. The expiration date on the cans are desirable...

If it were me, I'd open it, drain it, rinse it, and then pull out red wine, onion (caramelize it for a base) black pepper (and now salt b/c you rinsed it of) - and probably dried rosemary, thyme and garlic - and a cornstarch slurry. I'd almost make a gravy for a mashed potato or a biscuit. Something you expect very wet meat product with a very strong sauce. And something that doesn't cost you a lot of money if it sucks...

I'd serve a green like spinach, kale, or green beans even to complete the meal...

the Missus and I had an excellent lunch at a place west of Cheyenne called the Bunkhouse Bar and Grill. I had a steak sammich, she had a country fired steak. Wyoming beef at its finest and the staff were very friendly. It was cool to see the locals show up and chat with one another. Very friendly. We need to move to Wyoming.

Also, nicely inexpensive.

189 I mentioned finding preserved lemon and marinated ginger on clearance at Safeway this week (and those being the odd buys), but what's been weird is that for the last 2+ months, they've been rotating and clearancing out some high end salsas for under Aldi's generic salsa pricing (so $1/jar). If you happen to see them, they have made some pretty great marinades for both shrimp (salsa verde) and chicken thigh (chipotle) based tacos. I even picked up salsa macha (tree nut free - uses pepitas) for under $2.15. That's sitting on my shelf for use, but I imagine it would pair well with pork or chicken Mexican dishes.

AKA - if you have a Safeway, walk the Mexican aisle (I've also gotten the 100% whole grain hard taco shells for 80 cents the last 3 months, so we have had a bunch of tacos)...

202 Well, the temple rebuild got finished. That left a lot of laborers out of work. Some point to that as one of the factors. You had a lot swirling in the city at the time (collusion with the Romans by some factions.)

Then Titus sacks the city. The temple gets burnt (supposedly against his express orders.)

Then it keeps going on for quite some time. Then Hadrian essentially decides he is going to wipe out the Jews culturally.

The interesting thing to me is asking my wife, with religious certification from the Roman Catholic church, to confirm these historical facts about the period. She nails it. The Jewish temple was destroyed around 70 AD and the Romans installed a new temple for 'Venus'. Thus began the Diaspora.

History is kinda interesting.

It is also a fact that candles age, more or less depending on what was used to make them, and it is likely that refrigeration will extend that process.

I went to a deli in Las Vegas, and got a huge bowl with 2 matzoh balls, some short curly noodles, chicken, and vegetables.....seemed like it was wrong.

Likely due to different production runs, or one candle was made at a much different time in a run than the other. Only buy candles for multi-candle holders from the same lot, with sequential serial numbers or time stamped with a difference of 15 seconds or less, CBD. Problem fixed.

About 6 years ago, we bought a new dishwasher. Supposed to be quality, supposed to last 20 years (though it's not warrantied for anywhere near that long).

About 4 years in, it starts throwing an error code. I'm told the fix will cost about as much as a new dishwasher. I fiddle with it for a while, and eventually it starts working again (no idea why, though I had some theories).

Earlier this year, it started throwing the same error, and nothing I tried worked. So after a few weeks, we bought a new dishwasher. I kept the old one, because I wanted to tinker with it. So the other day, I hooked it up to our laundry sink, and wouldn't you know it, the damn thing works again! Grrrr.....

80 Slap a level across the candle holding cups. They look uneven.
--
There are actual written articles for such problems, i.e., wikiHow Staff, How to Burn Candles Evenly

Candles “remember” how they burned previously, and tend to follow the same pattern during subsequent burns. If the wax around the edges never melted, the wick will sink into a crater of hardened wax in a process called tunneling.[1] You can use a few tricks to troubleshoot tunneling in pillar and poured candles, as well as drippy tapers. Pay close attention to the first burn and adopt habits like regularly trimming the wick, using a snuffer, and avoiding drafts to extend the life of your candles and help them burn evenly

112 Didn't the V12 have four carbs? No wonder a tune up would bankrupt the owner.
Posted by: Tonypete at April 21, 2024 02:48 PM (WXNFJ)

Balancing the carbs is real easy if you have the tools for it. Simplest is the Uni-syn, costs only a few dollars. Benchmarks the air flow rate at carb A, transfer to carb B, and see if air flow is more or less, adjust throttle stop on carb B to correct. A shop that routinely tuned up exotic multi-carb engines would have a mercury manometer that could accurately measure engine vacuum in each branch of the intake tract simultaneously. Those cost hundreds of dollars.

I used the 'carb tune pro' for a few years until I found an air flow meter.
The air flow didn't match the preciseness of the manometer; but, you couldn't feel/hear the difference when riding.

127 I have a hard drive I can't get into. Maxtor 200gb PATA133 HDD. came out of an older Dell tower. Loaded with photos. Last time I tried to access it, got 'drive is corrupted'. Is there any way a person with the skills could get into this drive and salvage the contents?
Posted by: Don Black at April 21, 2024 02:52 PM (oCjPU)

There are freeware programs (Recuva, for one) that can try to get data off "broken" drives. Look online for "Hiren's Boot Disk". Used to be an actual disk image you could download and burn to a CD, that could boot a computer into several different OS's, and had a whole bunch of utilities to fix different problems, including corrupt drives. Hiren is not doing it anymore, but the project has taken on a life of its own. You can now make it into a bootable thumb drive.

At the other end of the scale, you can pay big $$ to have a service disassemble the drive in a clean room, and put the physical disc in a known good case, and read it from first principles.

Fridge light developed an annoying flicker. Opened it up to see what kind of bulb I needed. No bulb, just an LED panel. Whirlpool wanted $100 for a new panel. I found a cheap knock-off replacement for $15 on Amazon. So far, no issues with it.

144 Thinking when burning a candle group, you have to rotate the stand hourly
Posted by: Skip


Buy a rotating Shabbat candle-holder. Someone must make one; there's probably a conservative movement that would consider moving a candle "working on Shabbat."

Or put the boring non-motorized one on a turntable.

Which leads to my first-world problem..... trying to search the internet for a "turntable" when you don't mean the kind that plays vinyl records. You have to type "rotating display stand" instead. So much extra work!

Posted by: mikeski at April 21, 2024 03:28 PM (DgGvY)

145 That is a Shabbat candle-holder. Two identical candles, lighted at the same time, yet one leaves a lot of wax at the base while the other burns perfectly.
