Kewl new paint job for a Southwest Airlines plane Southwest Airlines unveils 'Independence One' plane in honor of America's 250th anniversary
Sporting red, white, and a deep blue, Southwest Airlines has unveiled a plane with a new paint job in honor of America's 250th anniversary. "Independence One" was introduced on Monday at Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport, displaying a massive "1776" across the front cabin windows and "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" toward the back. "It's a symbol of what it means to give America the freedom to fly," said Bob Jordan, the airline's CEO, to a crowd of attendees. "As Southwest celebrates our 55th year, and (as) our nation celebrates 250, we wanted to mark this moment in a way that reflects who we are, where we've been and where we are headed."

----- Speed limit strictly enforced! Wisconsin road adds a decimal point to its speed limit. It’s not a joke
A Wisconsin road has added a decimal point to its speed limit — in the hope that the unusual traffic sign will give drivers’ second thoughts about putting the pedal to the metal. The Outagamie County Recycling and Solid Waste facility in Appleton, 107 miles north of Milwaukee, announced Monday that the speed limit inside the facility would now be 17.3 mph. “You may notice something a little different on your next visit,” the facility wrote in a Facebook post. “Our posted speed limit is now 17.3.” The facility, which provides recycling and landfill disposal services, said it decided on a posted speed limit of 17.3 mph because it makes drivers “pause.” “It makes you look twice. And most importantly, it breaks that ‘autopilot’ feeling we can all fall into when driving familiar routes,” the facility added.I don't know about you, but there is just no way I could keep my speed below 18. ----- What's another way to say a moron is full of shit? How about 29 year old man is constipated
Josh Vintner-Jackson first felt some discomfort in his lower left hip in March 2020. At the time, Vintner-Jackson, who is from the UK, was 29 and worked at a startup in Austin. He balanced his time between work, hanging out with friends, and his active hobbies. He loved running marathons, including one five-day ultramarathon through the desert in Jordan. Over the next four months, he would occasionally feel a pang of discomfort in the area. By the end of May, he had started to become severely constipated, despite eating what he considered a healthy diet. After not pooping for eight days, he went to urgent care in June 2020, where an X-ray revealed a buildup in his colon.Check out the whole thing. And let this serve as a reminder to get your colonoscopy if you are due! ----- This should have been included in Tuesday's ONT, but someone dropped the ball. The Tuesday ONT host must be asshoe. It's the unofficial AOSHQ mascot.

They were working on a new one (paint shop) and the air relief louvers weren't working during the first building commissioning and the negative air (to vent fumes) sucked in a large partition wall that separated the main bay from other spaces. Even a half psi is a huge load over a large area.

If you don't have a mortgage, I guess you can self-insure, if the price of a house is a trivial expense. Kinda like us normal folks don't buy the extended warranties on our toasters.
Probably still good to carry whatever the homeowner's equivalent of "liability" is, to prevent bums from suing you when they trip over a crack in the sidewalk, even if you have Elon Musk money.

South Dakota means it. Signs say something like "speed limits strictly enforced." Though their freeways are posted 80mph.
I saw a guy get pulled over, and when he passed me earlier, he was probably only doing 82. I had my cruise set right at 80, and it took him a while to pass me.
That made me consider braking down hills rather than letting my cruise control go..... it doesn't try to slow the car down until it's 3 or 4 over.

But at home in MN? 4 mph over is totally safe in slower zones, more on the freeways. When I lived in the Minneapolis area, 10 over on I-494 would get you flipped off by someone's granny as she blew your doors off.
Unless you're driving the same make/model/color as the cop's daughter's boyfriend, then all bets are off.

on the sticker on the door jamb and assumed that was the model year. It isn't. It's a 2019. Model year begins in the mid-summer of the prior year. That, combined with the fact 2018 parts will not work on a 2019 truck as 2019 is the first year of the 5th generation Rams. I verified this on the Mopar parts website. A 2018 TPMS sensor will not fit (work) on a 2019 truck.
That also explains why when they tried to verify the sensors were working with their machine, they had to set it to '2018' not 2019.
After driving the truck half-way to San Diego and back they system hasn't reset itself. The owner's manual says it should reset after up to 20 minutes of driving above 15 mph.
Further reports as conditions warrant.

GROK did the web search and summary for you.
Any old web search engine (circa 2000) could do as well. You'd just have to read it yourself.
A real answer would be to repeat the query,
Throw in some assumptions, say aircraft model, dry paint density, coating system thickness and run some calcs.
Maybe calc the surface area of the plane using a 3D model x thickness of coating x density = total weight.
Should get it within a few pounds, not some wild ass range from where the high end 'estimate' is more than twice the low end.
If the owner really cared they could weigh the plane when it was stripped to bright aluminum and again after paint completed.

all sensors communicate with the car. They aren't connected to the car of course, because tires do a spinny spinny thing, so they connect wirelessly. Is it by proximity? No that would never work because there are other car tires just feet from your car's tires. So they obviously have unique codes, that are constantly transmitting, well beyond your car because they would have to already go 10,20,30 feet or more depending on the size of the vehicle and tire configuration.
What does that mean? That means every single modern car has a very convenient means of being passively tracked through waypoints by anywhos that happened to want to do that sort of thing.
Interesting, no?

I hate movies in airplanes. I would love to have a few high-definition video cams with views of the ground ahead, to each side, and directly below. You could have canned narration of what was being viewed through each cam. Name the mountains and rivers and lakes, give some history, and some descriptive geology. Give the passengers a mouse or trackball, to move a cursor on the screen, and click for information on the feature highlighted.

You know that Jonny Wurster kid, the kid that delivers papers in the neighborhood? He's a fine kid. Some of the neighbors say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it. Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a burrow owl. He kept bugging his old man; "Dad, get me a burrow owl! I'll never ask for anything else as long as I live!" So the guy breaks down and buys him a burrow owl
Anyway, 10:30 the other night, I go out in my yard and there's the Wurster kid, looking up in the tree! I say "What are you looking for?" And he says "I'm looking for my burrow owl!"
And I say "Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick! Everybody knows the burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground! Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway!?"
Now Stuart, do you think a kid like that is going to know what the queers are doing to the soil?

Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire.
The video also shows Allen casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack.
My office along with the @FBI will continue this extensive investigation to bring Cole Allen to justice.

I have a confession to make: I'm afraid to ask AI who The Powers That Be are. There are four possibilities.
One, it doesn't know. Two, it knows and can't tell me, because They won't let it. Three, it can tell me and it's just basically the Ruling Class and Clerisy, as expected. Four, it can tell me and the answer will upend my worldview.
On the surface, that's only a 50/50 chance of disturbing, not bad odds -- but I can get the two okay results without asking. The results that I can only get by asking are ones that would wreck my mental equilibrium, without being able to do anything about it; so, therefore, logically, I'm better off not asking. Q.E.D.

For three days, OpenAI's lawyer Savitt has been framing Musk as a founding donor who broke his pledges.
Today Musk's lawyers filed the receipts to show what actually happened: ...
...
Under California law, when a charity solicits and accepts donations, a fiduciary relationship forms between the person who asked and the person who gave.
A legal duty to use the money for the declared charitable purpose.
Altman and the CFO solicited. Musk donated. OpenAI accepted.
Then converted the charity into an $852 billion company.
The trust was breached

This led me to wonder if there were any fires in state, which apparently there were not, again from the internet.
I checked the global map for chemical signatures that are indicative of widlfires, CO and SO2, and I took a quick look at the global map for Patagonia, which had fires recently to check if I had anything similar.
No fires there, but a plume of SO2 from one of the Sandwich Islands East of South Georgia Island, which may be an indication of volcanic action on one of the small cindercones down there.
So this is my life, now. I have assets on my PC from the Internet that the NSA didn't have when I was ten, and I find it vaguely boring and irritating.

Louisiana Suspends House Primary Campaign Schedule Until They've Had a Chance to Redraw Congressional Maps
Louisiana is, I've heard, good for at least one and possibly two Republican pick-ups with craftily drawn maps.
It's necessary to suspend the primaries if you're redrawing the maps because... well, people don't even know what districts will exist to run in.Louisiana governor suspends House primaries until July after Supreme Court redistricting ruling Landry said the rescheduling will only impact the House races in the state and subsequent runoff elections, meaning the Senate and state Supreme Court races will go as planned on May 16.Will other GOP governors take the same initiative? In some political quick hits: The House passed a measure to fund most of DHS. This represents a bit of a tactical defeat, as the House demanded full funding for all of DHS, but CPB and ICE are already funded through the Big Beautiful Bill, and it's Democrat Assassination Season again so we really need a fully functioning DHS.
... "The best way to end race-based discrimination is to stop making decisions based on race," Landry said in a statement. "Here in Louisiana, we're proud to lead the nation on this charge. Allowing elections to proceed under an unconstitutional map would undermine the integrity of our system and violate the rights of our voters. This executive order ensures we uphold the rule of law while giving the Legislature the time it needs to pass a fair and lawful congressional map." The House races will now be suspended until July 15 or "until such time as determined" by the Louisiana state Legislature. It was not immediately clear when the runoffs from the primary would take place.
Congress on Thursday passed legislation to fund Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies that don't deal with immigration, ending a 76-day shutdown. ... The bill did not include funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the Border Patrol. Republicans are planning a reconciliation package to separately approve funding for those agencies for the rest of Trump's term. Using reconciliation would allow the Senate to bypass its 60-vote filibuster threshold and pass the funding without Democratic support. The One Big, Beautiful Bill included funding for ICE and CBP, meaning the shutdown generally did not affect those agencies. Democrats had sought to extract policy concessions from the administration, but ultimately did not secure their demands.Asked if she thinks America will elect a gay president, Alexandria Donkey-Chompers says America's already had one. And of course we all thought: Gay Barack Obama.
TMZ DC is making waves on Capitol Hill ... after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told one of our producers it's entirely possible America's already had a gay president, Republicans seem to be offering up their best guess ... Barack Obama!!! The Republican National Committee's official X account just reposted our clip with AOC and added a photo of Obama on top ... seemingly suggesting the GOP believes Obama was our first gay Prez.

Not even fucking garrett talks like this.
Former President Barack Obama wrote of his own "androgynous" mind and "mak[ing] love to men daily, but in the imagination," according to the redacted portion of a now-notorious 1982 letter, obtained by The Post. The more than 40-year-old letter to an ex-girlfriend recently resurfaced after Obama biographer David Garrow gave a long and winding interview on the one-time commander-in-chief. "In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination," Obama, then 21, wrote to Alex McNear in November 1982.
"My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men. But, in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept that contingency," he added.
McNear, who dated Obama during his year at Occidental College in Los Angeles, later redacted the salacious paragraphs, which Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garrow hunted down and included in his tome "Rising Star." The letter is currently owned by Emory University, which doesn't permit it to be photographed or removed. Instead, Garrow's friend Harvey Klehr transcribed the paragraphs by hand and sent them to the author.

"a racist power grab" (instead of ... enacting the racist map SCOTUS just declared illegal)
"the MAGA-favorite Governor" (who? we don't even know his name)
"to help Trump avoid a humiliating midterm"
"white voters" who were the plaintiffs "were funded by groups who've long sought to gut the VRA" (unlike, you know, the long list of organizations funding the black plaintiffs)
They've even dug up writings and work by Roberts when he first arrived in DC under Reagan, with whining that he's long sought to destroy the VRA, and reaching this line "one could argue that he lied to Congress" (because he downplayed his role, you know, as an attorney hired to advocate for his client).
Please, please keep attacking Roberts.

Dems got greedy.
They had one district.
The new map kept them with one district.
They wanted two districts.
Under the new rules, LA can--and should--eliminate any "black" district.
Instead of 2, they'll lose the one--and probably 20 more across the South.
And that's before we get to the racist districts in blue states ....

But only 5 of them were targeted for discernibly political reasons (Lincoln, McKinley, Kennedy, 1 of Ford's (Sara Jane Moore), and all 3 of Trump's).
The rest were just maniacs - the consequence of a free society. Guiteau shot Garfield over a job dispute. Schrank shot Roosevelt because McKinley's ghost told him Roosevelt set him up. Fromme tried to shoot Ford for Mansony reasons of some kind, and Hinckley shot Reagan because he was trying to score with the lesbo from Paper Moon.
So, if you only count the politically motivated assassinations, the next attempt on Trump will account for fully half of them.

Vader, probably not gay, but like only 70-80 % sure, who knows what the dark side would do
Leia, definitely bi, a real playa
Luke, possibly gay. I mean he was after his sister, had a thing for a green wrinkly dwarf for awhile, I think he has some issues.
Han, not gay
Yoda, WTF knows. He's an alien maybe they have some weird stuff going on there, I wouldn't rule anything out.
C3PO, very f'ing gay
R2D2, not gay, but maybe incel

You can't delay an election already in process. Absentee ballots have already been sent out! If they do this Illinois should try to retroactively cancel their primary and redraw. Pritzker time to get working on that 17-0 map!
Louisiana managing to make the VRA unenforceable, then getting sued over having no Black districts at all, would actually be hilarious
Republicans hate Democracy. They don't even pretend anymore. ngl, I'm starting to hate it too. the people who voted for shit like this have no fucking business choosing our government
I never understood what "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" meant. Now I see there are (organized groups of) people that will tear it all down for a dollar, or a false word.
If the SC allows Louisiana to suspend the primaries, it's not a far leap to letting Trump suspend all elections.

Regarding Obungo, for what it's worth.
Can think of many reasons other than prancercising down AF1 Steps. Cowering over something (I forget, a boom or martial arts fight that most men would not flinch). His special friend,Reggie. The drowned chef. The church in Chicago covering up for gay men and finding beards for them to marry.
Here's the whopper or popper: A friend of Feinstein's, Kam Kuwata, died unexpectedly in CA in 2011.
He was against Harris being AG of CA.
He was said to have told Diane about smelling poppers, moaning, and two male voices in a room during the 2008 Dim campaign as he walked down a hallway. One of the males to exit the room was Obungo Jug Ears. [I have no idea where I read this but at the time believed it to be true and did not forget, for what it's worth]
At Kuwata's memorial in 2011, Feinstein frog jumped Obungo to announce the killing of Osama before he was able to on tv. It was rumored to be revenge for Kuwata's death.

The entire show’s history he is the ship’s big lady’s man anc all of a sudden he’s falling for a tomboy alien from a race that doesn’t have genders.

Looked like a low-rent version of the boy from The Wonder Twins.

R's flipped 8 seats in 2026. They were the "out party"
20+ years ago, Trump's 2024 win would have been a landslide/wave that would have swept 20 to even 40 Rs into the House.
Recall, 3 seats were "lost" in CA due to "harvesting."
Of those 8, they are: 1 in MI; 3 in NC; 2 in PA; 1 in CO; 1 in AK.
All these incumbents are running for reelection.
The 4 narrowest wins were in AK (2), PA(1; 1.6) and CO(1.4); those 4 all beat the incumbent.
The 3 in NC won by 16-38%.
MI won by 3.7%
In order to lose that few seats in 2026, the Ds have had to stack Rs in to all the other seats they held.
With the advantage of incumbency, it's not "historical trend" the Dems need--they need a massive, blue wave to flip the House.
There you go.
Or you can keep listening to the media who want the Dems to win.

Nobody wanted to play that song; Simple Minds had turned it down but eventually decided to play it and they still hated it.

Number of votes cast in 2024 state house/assembly districts by party that won the seat:
California Democratic district: 177,000.
California Republican district: 203,000.
(15% higher turnout in Republican districts)
Texas Democratic districts: 50,000
Texas Republican districts: 80,000
(60% higher turnout in Republican districts)
Nevada Democratic districts: 27,938
Nevada Republican districts: 39,447
(41% higher turnout in Republican districts)
In Nevada 53% of overall votes cast in Assembly elections were for Republicans, but Democrats won 27 of the 42 seats.
That massive disparity is the result of tens of millions of non-citizens who can't vote and often are illegal but who comprise a very high percentage of Dem districts. SCOTUS requires districts to be roughly equal in size - even if a large % of the population is illegal.

Hapless Woke Karen Drops Out of Maine Senate Race, Clearing Field for National Socialist (and Avowed Communist) Graham "Totenkopf" Platner
Janet Mills is the currently serving governor of Maine.
The ugly broke-down swamphag has been fighting to keep six foot boys beating the shit out of five-two girls in high school and college sports. Below, she appeared at the Farmington Moose Lottery -- no, unfortunately, they were not giving mooses free cars or even potluck prizes, but just giving humans licenses to hunt mooses. She was heckled. I hear a lot of "moooo" heckles, which I think might come from the mooses present at the event. I think some mooses were present because if they get a moose hunting license, it's a license to kill your moosewife's lover, isn't it?Maine Gov Janet Mills relentlessly booed during the Moose hunting permit lottery at the High Peaks Outdoor Heritage Festival in Farmington, Maine.

Though she's -- he's? -- the serving governor, she is vying for the nomination as Democrat senate candidate. Had she won, she would face RINO Susan Collins in the general. But she's not winning. In fact, she's unable to even raise money for her campaign, despite being, as I said, the sitting governor of the state. That tells me two things: 1, Maine Democrats really don't like this Female Igor, and 2, Maine Democrats really, really love the Nazi with a literal SS Death's Head (Totenkopf) tattoo on his chest. PJ Media:
Mills posted her rather lengthy announcement of dropping out of the race on X on April 30. "When I decided to run for the United States Senate last year, it was because I believed Maine people were getting a bad deal from Washington and because the President of the United States was threatening our democracy and pushing our nation to the brink of disaster. I continue to believe that today," she wrote in the usual Democrat style of encouraging extreme hatred and violence against her opponents. She mentioned "climate change," abortion, and "free community college" among her focuses. Despite her hatred for Donald Trump, however, she is dropping out: "While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else -- the fight -- to continue on, I very simply do not have the one thing that political campaigns unfortunately require today: the financial resources. That is why today I have made the incredibly difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the United States Senate."She trailed the Nazi in the supposedly "anti-Nazi" party by... twenty-two points. And now the Nazi will easily goose-step his way to the nomination of the allegedly "anti-Nazi" party:
She trails primary rival Grant Platner by 22 points, according to the most recent RealClearPolitics.com polls average. Mills' campaign rested on a platform of opposing President Donald Trump, but it struggled to resonate with Democrats in the state, The Washington Post reported. Mills had the support of Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer. Platner, is an oyster farmer and first-time candidate. He will now likely face incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins in the General Election.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at April 30, 2026 04:50 PM (n7rxJ)
I believe so. I learned a bit about the Russian ones from Simplicius the Thinker earlier in the Russo-Ukrainian War, and these have that same evasive/precision glide capability. It's really very cool!
They hit such high speeds in the boost phase that it creates a bubble of plasma that interferes with electro-magnetism, including radio-frequency light (RF), which prevents it from being able to use satellite navigation. But that also may or may not protect it from lasers in that phase.
Then it drops a nose heat shield (exposing a camera), and deploys maneuvering airfoils. From there, like a glide bomb, it can compare the terrain in its view with maps in its memory, using discriminative AI (such as that used in facial recognition) to maneuver very precisely.
Although it slows down from air friction after the boost phase, it still comes in very hot: supersonic and glowing, at a steep angle that will catch air defense off guard if it's scanning for lower targets. (It's a tradeoff: you can detect further by narrowing the angles.)

Platner is extremely manly, and masculine, and has a burly manly appeal, virile and rugged, ready for action.
Looks like the Johnny guy from Sopranos.

For a RINO like Collins, I'm sure Mitch and Thune will throw in 10's of millions of campaign support.
i believe a few weeks ago a state wide poll showed Collins up over the Nazi by 3 or 4 (so basically within the MOE)
And yea, Thune will break the bank to win this one.

US lawmakers have voted to end a 76-day partial government shutdown sparked by a standoff over President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement strategy.
The House of Representatives approved a Senate-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), sending it to Trump for signature.
The measure reopens DHS but does not provide funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) - the two subagencies responsible for immigration enforcement.

A substitute teacher in Florida was fired after allegedly suffering a bizarre and disturbing meltdown inside a high school classroo, where students say she twerked, made sexually explicit remarks, called herself a “million-dollar prostitute,” and physically grabbed a student by the neck area before deputies hauled her away.
The teacher was identified as Angela Faith Jourdan, a substitute at Lake Minneola High School. According to reports, deputies responded after staff triggered an emergency alert around 10:20 a.m. and found Jourdan yelling incoherently in front of students, News6 reported.
Investigators say students reported Jourdan had been slamming her hands on desks, making obscene comments, and dancing provocatively in the classroom instead of teaching. Authorities also say she referred to herself as a “million-dollar prostitute.”
The most serious allegation came from a student who told deputies that as class ended, Jourdan yelled at her, used a derogatory slur, then placed her hands on the student’s head, neck, and moved toward the throat area.
She looks like you'd expect....

I've got no problem with Collins. With her, you always knew what you got - and it's important to have an (R) in the Senate. The people that play Conservatives on the campaign trail and revert back to RINOs in DC - those are the ones I can't stand.
My only question is whether Collins is the most conservative we can expect in ME. My guess is that it is.

Maine is indeed a quirky place. Some of the richest people in the country have property up there and along with the colleges and universities it has attracted a lot of leftists.

There were a few of those as might qualify.
Vermont did its revolution against NH and NY, not against Britain. Which they turned around and fought for when NH and NY went for the Declaration. So VT had a strange independent status until 1791 when they chose the US (under the US Constitution which didn't recognize VT).
Also the whole Oregon Territory was under joint rule because UK+US at least agreed they shouldn't let the Russkies get it, and weren't asking the local Indians their opinion.

Did Platner really finally remove his tatoo? Is he such a loser he could not come up with the $ to do it until he had a campaign fund to pay for it? Or did he only finally decide that the tattoo was a liability and he had to part with his beloved NAZA symbol to pursue his dream of being a political grifter?

I'm reluctantly curious to know if he has a faux SS blood group tattoo in his armpit, which would mark him as a true believer. The totenkopf could be explained away as biker MC shit, but not the blood group tatt. Neo-Nazi assholes have a habit of getting those tatts along with all the other crooked, crude Nazi imagery.
Funny thing is that at the end of World War Eleven, the blood group tatt was used to identify SS cocksuckers. The Russians and Frogs would just shoot them immediately, the Limeys and Americans would take them prisoner and interrogate them. Got bad enough for the assholes that the SS types would shoot themselves in the armpit to obliterate the tatt, trying to save themselves. Didn't work, the Allies just assumed that anyone with an armpit wound was SS as well.

Regarding Obungo, for what it's worth. Can think of many reasons other than prancercising down AF1 Steps. Cowering over something (I forget, a boom or martial arts fight that most men would not flinch). His special friend,Reggie. The drowned chef. The church in Chicago covering up for gay men and finding beards for them to marry.
Here's the whopper or popper: A friend of Feinstein's, Kam Kuwata, died unexpectedly in CA in 2011.
He was against Harris being AG of CA.
He was said to have told Diane about smelling poppers, moaning, and two male voices in a room during the 2008 Dim campaign as he walked down a hallway. One of the males to exit the room was Obungo Jug Ears. [I have no idea where I read this but at the time believed it to be true and did not forget, for what it's worth]
At Kuwata's memorial in 2011, Feinstein frog jumped Obungo to announce the killing of Osama before he was able to on tv. It was rumored to be revenge for Kuwata's death.

The bad news: each of these missiles costs $15 million. And there are currently only eight of them. The good news: They have a range of 1,725 miles and travel at Mach 5 (at their fastest). They can maneuver in flight and dodge attempts to intercept them. I don't really think Iran is very advanced as far as missile interceptions, but I guess they could try. Their targets will be the remaining missile launchers Iran uses to terrorize its neighbors, hit US bases, and throttle shipping through the Strait of America. These missile launchers hide in fortified bunkers all day-- and then come out for just an hour to set up and launch a missile, and then hide again. These hypersonic missiles will be used as a very rapid response when a missile launcher is spotted by satellites or spyplanes. It would take "minutes" for the Dark Eagle to reach its target, minimizing the chances that the launcher will duck back inside its bunker before being hit. If they can take out eight of Iran's few remaining missile launchers, that will be $120 million well spent. (Though note the program's R&D cost $2.7 billion, but that's mostly sunk cost at this point.) Bloomberg:
Trump has rejected Iran's laughable "proposal" for the US to end the blockade while Iran continues its nuclear program. He will keep the blockade in place until Iran agrees to give up its nuke program and nuke materials, and is preparing for "short but powerful" strikes against the regime.
US Central Command has asked to send the Army's long-delayed Dark Eagle hypersonic missile to the Middle East for possible use against Iran, seeking a longer-range system to hit ballistic-missile launchers deep inside the country. If approved, it would mark the first time the US will have deployed its hypersonic missile, which is running far behind schedule and hasn't been declared fully operational even as Russia and China have deployed their own versions. The Request for Forces submission justifies the move by saying Iran has moved its launchers out of range of the Precision Strike Missile, a weapon that can hit targets at more than 300 miles, a person with direct knowledge of the request said. ... Dark Eagle, also known as the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon, or LRHW, has a reported range of more than 1,725 miles, although its exact capabilities are secret. It is designed to glide to its target at more than five times the speed of sound and can maneuver to avoid interception. ... The US already transferred most of its supplies of the stealthy JASSM-ER cruise missile, also designed for a fight with a near-peer adversary, to the Iran fight. About 1,100 of the missiles have been fired so far in the conflict.
President Trump told Axios he's going to keep Iran under a naval blockade until the regime agrees to a deal that addresses U.S. concerns about its nuclear program. Why it matters: Trump is rejecting an Iranian proposal to first open the Strait of Hormuz and lift the blockade, while postponing nuclear talks to a later stage. Behind the scenes: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has prepared a plan for a "short and powerful" wave of strikes on Iran in hopes of breaking the negotiating deadlock, three sources with knowledge said. After the strikes, which would likely include infrastructure targets, the U.S. would press the regime to come back to the negotiating table and show more flexibility. Trump told Axios he saw the blockade as "somewhat more effective than the bombing," and the sources said he had yet to order any kinetic action as of Tuesday night. He did post an AI-generated meme of himself holding a gun with a warning to Iran and the tagline, "NO MORE MR. NICE GUY." For now, Trump sees continuing the blockade as his primary source of leverage, but he would consider military action if it Iran still won't cave, according to the sources. He declined to discuss any military plans in Wednesday's phone interview, which lasted around 15 minutes.
The Dark Eagle is the U.S. Army's Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon... a mobile, ground-launched missile built to strike high-value, heavily defended targets with extreme speed and minimal warning time.

$15 million a copy isn't bad for what amounts to a precision guided cruise missile that can travel 1,725 miles at mach 5 and evade pretty much anything that is deployed against them. Actually that is a pretty good deal.

(DFL-Apple Valley) says the state Senate is being forced to cut more than 150,000 Minnesotans from Medicare because of work requirements mandated by the Trump administration and congressional Republicans.
What work requirements exist on Medicare?
Is she thinking Medicaid? I'm sure that there are loopholes for people who actually cannot work as opposed to those who can only be VPs at NGOs or Learing Centers.

Then deliver the rods to the various targeting satellites. Space mass weapons have to be fairly cheap compared to all of this and will have massive yields similar to many nuclear payloads.
My engineering sense tells me this is super easy, far more easy than currently deployed systems and the reason it is not known is A) it is already done and not discussed, or it is B) forbidden in some world agreement which is also not discussed. A little bit of covert A and B maybe too.

Which of those two option would the IRGC street corner enforcer thug fear the most?
These small arms dropping into IRGC hands means nothing since they already have access to them. A huge airdop would result in thousands making it into the hands of a population that in theory wants to overthrow the mad mullahs.

At least 'merican missiles hit the targets they're aimed at. One of the most recent Chinese hypersonic missile tests was found to be fast as hell, but missed the target area by a couple of miles. Not the target, the target AREA. Which if I recall from the article I'd read about a year ago was an impact range facility of about 20 miles square.

Good to hear the economy is growing despite the gas prices. I haven't totaled up how much I spent on gas during my recent trip -- I like my hair color brown, not white. But prices were generally a little cheaper in Kansas than in Da Swamp. I saw some $3.99s at the Exxons and Shells in MO, but the independents were more like $3.79.
The station near my house where I usually gas up, an Exxon, has 87 E10 at $3.39 for cash, and their E0 87 for only .30 more -- about the same as when I left thirteen days ago.

Airdrop Proposals: Commentary in outlets like the National Review has questioned why the U.S. and Israel have not used their stockpiles of "semi-obsolete weapons" (AK-47s and old explosives) to conduct massive parachute drops at hundreds of sites across Iran. Proponents argue that even if the regime seizes half the weapons, arming the people is the only way to topple the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
Feasibility and RisksInternal and international experts have highlighted several risks associated with these proposals:Counter-Repression: Critics argue that arming protesters would give the Iranian state a "moral high ground" to use total, overwhelming military force, shifting a political protest into a bloody civil war.

The satellite is already moving at a constant speed, not launching from a standing start (relative to the missile). It's already pointing at earth, it's already focused on earth, it's operating in a vacuum anyway..... It wasn't taking pix of Xi's belt buckle 1/4 second after dropping off whatever rocket put it in orbit.

Judicial Watch Lawsuit Compels Oregon, Against Its Will, to Remove 800,000 Ineligible Voters from Its Voter Rolls -- Nearly One Quarter of All Eligible Voters In the State
Don't look now, but that thing that never happens is happening again.
Paul SperryJudicial Watch is deservedly crowing:
@paulsperry_ BREAKING: Settlement of a Judicial Watch lawsuit has forced the review and removal of some 800,000 ineligible voters from Oregon voter rolls
I should say that of the 800,000 ineligible names, only 160,000 are being scrubbed now; the other 640,000 will be reviewed and scrubbed from the lists later.
Judicial Watch announced a settlement in its federal lawsuit against Oregon election officials, which confirms 800,000 ineligible voter names are slated for review and removal from voter registration lists. The settlement requires state officials to produce detailed data and enforce federal voter roll clean-up procedures under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit in October 2024, alleging Oregon failed to remove ineligible voters and seeking to enforce Section 8 of the NVRA after identifying widespread voter roll maintenance failures across dozens of counties (Judicial Watch, et al. v. The State of Oregon et al. (No. 6:24-cv-01783)). In its complaint, Judicial Watch argued that Oregon's voter rolls contain large numbers of old, inactive registrations; and that 29 of Oregon's 36 counties removed few or no registrations as required by federal election law. Judicial Watch asserted that Oregon and 35 of its counties had overall registration rates exceeding 100%; and that Oregon had the highest known inactive registration rate of any state in the nation. In combination, all of these facts showed that Oregon was failing to remove inactive registrations as required by federal law. In August 2025, a federal court in Oregon denied a motion to dismiss by Oregon and ruled the lawsuit could proceed. In response to the lawsuit, Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read announced earlier this year that Oregon has about 800,000 inactive registrations, which are kept separately from the active voter rolls and do not receive ballots. Of those, roughly 160,000 already meet federal and state criteria for removal--having received confirmation notices, failed to respond, and not voted in two federal elections--and are slated for cancellation. The remaining approximately 640,000 inactive records do not yet qualify for removal and will be processed through future list maintenance efforts. In its press release, Oregon acknowledged that routine removal of outdated records effectively stalled in 2017, leaving a large pool of long-dormant registrations on the rolls without being fully processed for removal. The scale of the backlog underscores a gap in routine list maintenance that is only now being addressed. "These directives are about cleaning up old data that's no longer in use so Oregonians can be confident that our voter records are up to date," said Read. ... The settlement with Oregon remains in effect for more than five years, with a federal court retaining jurisdiction to enforce its terms. While the settlement resolves the litigation, it explicitly allows future legal action if Oregon fails to comply with voter list clean-up requirements going forward. The settlement requires Oregon to open its voter roll maintenance processes to unprecedented scrutiny. ...
... Colorado recently removed 372,000 ineligible voter names thanks to a Judicial Watch lawsuit and settlement addressing the state's compliance with federal voter list maintenance requirements. In Kentucky, state election board officials reported that "roughly 735,000 ineligible voter registrations" have been removed from voter rolls, as part of a 2018 consent decree settling a Judicial Watch lawsuit. As part of its 2022 settlement, New York City alone has removed 918,139 ineligible names from its rolls: data show 477,056 removals between March 2023 and February 2025, which is in addition to the 441,083 previously reported removals. In Los Angeles, county officials confirmed the removal of more than 1.2 million names from voter rolls as part of a settlement. Judicial Watch legal pressure also resulted in election roll clean-ups in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Ohio.
Oregon got a compliant press to report there were just a few errors that they fixed right away and that there was nothing to worry about.

Motor voter was supposed to be that compromise: the left gets easy voter registrations for their constituencies that don't really care enough to register while the right gets mandated clean-up of the voter rolls to stop the left from using dead and out of state people to steal elections.
RESULT? The left registers a bunch of illegals through the motor voter and refuses to ever clean-up their voter rolls.
Great job, GOPe. Another huge win!

Analysis shows that Fairfax County did three large vote dumps during the count, fairly late into the night. The last dump had over 30,000 votes, all "yes."
AFPI is pushing for information on this as well as the other Northern Virginia counties.
Talk around the water cooler is that the VA Democrats are gaming this out. One theory is that they wanted this entire effort to be so egregious that it would be voided by SCOVA. This would then feed a narrative of people being denied their votes by a tyrant king as a way of motivating their base.

I doubt seriously they will comply with this ruling but it brings up a very good point as far as blue states go.
If your voter rolls contains 25% ineligible voters and you are fighting to keep those voters on the list, you can't have a clean election and they are OK with that.

There are federal laws about making good faith efforts to keep voter rolls clean.
HAVA is the big one.
This is why these blue states all eventually fold in these lawsuits. The problem is that they literally just go back and add the ineligible back after the lawsuit's required actions have been taken.
It's been shown to happen in Michigan.

There's a reason (well, a few reasons) why Manhattan progressives are desperate for a not-Kamala for 2028 and one of those is that Kamala lost 6 million votes that Biden got.
If they think 2020 was legit and 2024 was won by Trump through chicanery in the swing states (how? don't ask), that leaves the simple fact that Kamala still lost 6 million voters.

Not saying there would be Republican mayors all over the place - but the Dems who did win most certainly had fraudulent help along the way.

Vote rolls must only contain *motivated* voters who intend and are likely to vote each cycle.
The traditional, and only reliable, check of fraud is to have canvasing where (a) each person on the rolls is confirmed as a real person, and (b) each person who is recorded as having voted is confirmed as really voting.
This includes the check on making sure that no one is voting in proxy for other people. For real voters, that happens when they go to the polls and are checked against the book -- if they are told "you already voted" they make a stink.
All this is to prevent the fraud of people manufacturing fake voters and having people vote for them. This is very very common in inner cities. You reduce it by not giving them any stagnant names to use.
Bad names on the rolls means they have a pool of voter names fraudsters can use to inject votes. This is very very bad and an inversion of the security.

- another wrench the left throws into the works id charging people to view the voter rolls.
- another is same day registration, as well as registration without verifying identity, citizenship etc. The rolls are a public document that should be verified by canvasing to make sure there is no fraud. The Dems have overwhelmed the system (motor voter, same day, etc.) to make it impossible to verify and verify anything.

I have said many times here that I have seen church buses driving around East Coast city poll station to poll station, and at each one they get out, are told what name to use, and they all vote.
That is the Democratic machine. They can do that because the rolls are full of names that are not real voters. This is what they are trying to protect (although, with mail-in, it is much easier for them.)
(also, it is thought that this is how the HQ favorite author E. A. Poe died - he was murdered when forced to vote in other names...)

A lot of the oil that the west coast refines is coming from Asia, but ultimately from the Gulf. Aaaand there is limited refining capacity in CA and only the one refinery in WA, and . . . California is importing refined gasoline which also gets into the system here.
As long as the Jones act waiver stays in place we can get fuel from the Gulf of America, but should that lapse then it is Kitty bar the door on prices
Also there is a BP labor issue going on in Indiana that seems to be locking out refining.
Oh and taxes and boutique blends for summer.

Yes, gas stations are probably price gouging. That's probably part of it.
It's the pattern. gas prices rise quickly and fall slowly.
The stations make almost nothing on the gas itself, so getting an extra few dollars per tank is something they're going to run towards.

What the dems have done is take this fraud and spread it.
Centralized counting gives those very inner city fraud machines control. The electronic crap eliminates the oversight as it is all now centralized and in state government hands. The electronic vote books make it easier to add names and have them vote as needed to win.
Now they want to eliminate the EC, so that massive fraud in states they control will swamp out the other states, just as massive fraud in the cities already swamp out rural votes.

Probably related is that republicans were successful in eliminating a huge number of ineligible voters off the Georgia roll in 2023, but It was shown that these removed voters showed back up on the voter rolls in a period of months. It was concluded that the DMV (and various other government registration services participating) were just adding them back onto the list.

Having been to all of them I know we do. But our prices should be significantly lower than theirs because we have a shitload more oil but we don't have the refining capacity we need to take advantage of it.
Nobody puts raw oil into their gas tank. It has to be refined and thanks to the environmental lobby new refineries have been killed in the crib for decades. Until now.

Yes we do. Even with the confiscatory taxes most states charge.
Our capacity to pump oil and reserves protects us from most of the market fluctuations. Even with respect to GDP, the current price drag for us will probably be between .03 - 05 in Q3. For other nations it will be greater.

Minnesota State Sen.
@ErinMayeQuade
(DFL-Apple Valley) says the state Senate is being forced to cut more than 150,000 Minnesotans from Medicare because of work requirements mandated by the Trump administration and congressional Republicans.
"It is despicable and unacceptable, and the people in Congress, the Republicans in Congress and White House who made this happen, will get to report back to their billionaire CEO donors that they did the job, while Minnesotans get sicker and go hungry and potentially die. We are doing everything we can as Senate DFLers to soften the blow, but let's be real: This is a gut punch, and it didn't have to happen."

Russian, Venezuelan and Iranian oil was under restriction, unable to be sold in the marketplace. This was enforced by the USN. So it was sold illegally, at the discount rate that embargoed oil can get, mostly by China.
The US Navy was enforcing a situation where China was getting extra cheap oil, who then used it for their own industries and sold the excess AT MARKET PRICES to places like California.
This is what is pissing me off this month.

No, I'm absolutely not. I'm pointing the problem that is causing our current prices to be higher than they could be despite the war in Iran.
We can't refine a lot of the oil we currently pump because we haven't been build refineries at the same pace we have been discovering and pumping new oil including shale oil.
This has been a long known problem in the oil and gas industry not something that just happened. We have a surplus of oil, we are a net exporter, but lack of refinery capacity has been a long identified and fought over problem. 50 fucking years is a long time to go without a new refinery when the population of the US has grown significantly in the same amount of time.
Posted by: JackStraw at April 30, 2026 04:38 PM (viF8m)
I've never been able to figure out why an Oil company, that has its own wells, owns a refinery, and sells at its own stations... has prices even affected by the futures market, or what is happening overseas.

Russian citizens probably LOVE the embargo.
They have oil. They have refineries. And the US Navy is shielding the citizen from the Oligarch selling Russian Gas to other countries to maximize profits.
Thus, lower gas prices in Russia.
Shit! Can we get someone to enforce an embargo on US????

Covert Socialist Kathy Hochul to Overt Socialist Zohran Mamdani: You Don't Have a Tax Revenue Problem, You Have a Spending Problem.
Hochul to NYC: Drop Dead, says Hadrian.
I wonder if this makes the Democrat Governess Hochul a racisty racist who hates children and The Science (TM) because she's racist. I figure... no, she isn't a racisty racist. Democrats are allowed to object to back-breaking spending. Only Republicans are racist for doing so, because they Hate the Blacks. Zohran Mamdani is executing his big new socialist plan. Have you heard this one before? His plan is to spend other people's money until he runs out of other people's money, and then to start spending other other people's money. It's gotta work this time, right? The law of averages says it must. So he's run out of money, just three months into his term of four years, and is demanding that Governess Granny Hochul rewrite the law to impose new taxes on his citizen-slaves. And she actually told him to stop spending money he doesn't have and otherwise get bent.
NYC Mayor Mamdani's latest pitch to tax the rich "not happening," Gov. Kathy Hochul saysAnd Mamdani's proposed budget will increase NYC's budget by fourteen billion dollars over just two years. The pro-terrorist socialist theater kid who never held a real job admits that even if he gets this tax increase, he's going to demand New York state send more of its taxpayers' money to NYC so he can waste it.
The budget battle between New York City and New York state lawmakers is intensifying. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin are calling for a new way to tax the rich. They want the state to reduce something called the Pass-Through Equity Tax credit, aka PTET. ... Menin joined the mayor in calling for the new revenue stream, which could mean another $1 billion to help close the city's budget gap. Gov. Kathy Hochul slammed the door on their proposal. "That's not happening," Hochul said. "We are not changing PTET." Hochul said she has already found over $4 billion in state aid for the city, and that Mamdani and Menin have a spending problem. "And we've encouraged the speaker and the mayor to do what every other city has to do, [which] is look at your expenses. What is growing exponentially? They have programs that are growing not 4% a year, but 4% [in] months. And so they have to do whatever the other city is doing," Hochul said. Budget watchdogs agree with Hochul, saying that instead of trying to tax their way out of the budget problems, they should stop spending so much. "Right-size spending. Stop spending on programs that don't help New Yorkers. We've increased spending $16 billion more than inflation over the last 10 years," said Andrew Rein, president of the Citizens Budget Commission.
Despite Hochul's reluctance, Mamdani still wants more state aid, even if were to actually get this new tax. "We cannot proceed with balancing that budget without the additional revenue and cost shifts from Albany," Mamdani said.The Covert Socialist will also meet with billionaire Ken Griffin about his complaints about the new pied-a-terre tax, designed to punish rich people for daring to own second homes in NYC.
... Hochul had another surprise for Mamdani. She has agreed to meet this week with billionaire Ken Griffin. Mamdani has made Griffin the poster boy for why he wants a pied-a-terre tax on people who own multimillion dollar second homes in New York City. Griffin was so upset with Mamdani's attacks his hedge fund company threatened to pull out of a $6 billion NYC development project.The PTET is a shelter provided by high-tax leftwing states to allow their richest taxpayers to shelter some of their money so that they don't have to pay the full state taxes. And they're not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts -- they know their rich, highly-mobile taxpayers will flee to states with lower (or no) income taxes if they don't give them a break on taxes. Mamdani is demanding that the break be reduced from a 100% credit on state taxes to 75%. Thereby reducing the incentive to rich people to stay in the high-tax state, thereby increasing the number of rich people who will flee. And of course, this is why high-tax states like California are pushing for "exit taxes" -- money they steal from you when you move out of their states. They want to keep you prisoner. If you stay you have to pay their high tax rates, but if you try to leave, they'll shellac you with a huge "exit tax" on your wealth. I think this will all work out beautifully for the socialists, as it always has and always will. Actual Justice Warrior seems to understand the PTET tax shelter, which I currently don't.

D or R - it doesn’t really matter. Sorry to any NYC’ers who actually thought this guy was different - because he isn’t.
It really is amazing how much a nice smile and saying things in a really happy way, can still in 2026, completely lull otherwise educated people into letting down their guard of critical thinking.
This is really dumb and a bad look. PTET is about bypassing the Federal SALT CAP which was created to hurt cities like New York. Getting rid of PTET would help Trump, and hurt NYC. Starting to realize Mamdani is unserious and stupid
I'd prefer to tax the rich. The *problem* is that big businesses are funding Hochul's campaigns.
We’ve been trying to cut spending and actively lowering taxes on the wealthy for decades now. It has only led to shitty infrastructure, underfunded public works, and a bloated robber-baron rich that hasn’t been seen since the gilded age.
Tax the fucking rich already.

There is also a real personal security issue - you've already had one prominent businessman assassinated on the streets of New York for political reasons, and Mamdani just painted a nice big target on Griffin's back.
Given the rising support for political violence among Democrats, this is not a small thing.
I wonder if the people providing security to well-known billionaires are now telling them to avoid NYC.

What is Griffin doing in New York? He fled Illinois to escape the predatory taxes here. He said he was going to Florida, and he lands in NYC. Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Posted by: Ted Torgerson
He was the originator / backer of a plan to build a new and large office building in Manhattan. Thousands of jobs, and so forth. It's now on hold.
Mayor Momo used the guy's address in NYC as the backdrop to announce his pied-a-terre tax. Really bad move, genius.
Were he smart, he'd simply say hasta-la-bye-bye, shitcan the project and let the smarmy little shit roast.

Griffin runs a hedgefund and does live currently in Florida as his official residence. However, I would guess that due to his business, he has a pad in NYC to stay at when in meetings, etc. and for a bit of elite fun like the arts and culture in NYC.
I remember Rush back in the day discuss how many days he was allowed to be in NYC before he would have to pay taxes there and I am sure other elites have the same guidance for residence to avoid triggering income taxes there.

I've been told that America is a racist, imperialist, capitalistic, oligarcal society that lets the rich do whatever they want without paying their fair share while police are racist and shoot brown people for sport.
Surely Griffin could use that system he's been told he's king of to rid himself of one troublesome mayor, couldn't he?
Unless all those base assumptions were trash, I guess.

===================
Sad to say, but his partner (Vornado, the company actually developing the property for Citadel and Griffen) says he cannot, their contracts are airtight and he is stuck. However, what he can do is cut way back on how much space he takes up in the building, reducing employment in the city, and move those jobs either to Miami or to Texas. The income tax hit to the city would be enormous.
He can sell his interest in the building, probably for a profit too, since the area where he is building has essentially zero available rental space and this building will be in high demand for law firms and financial firms.

Trump was gifted the bell from a British WWII submarine by King Charles. I wondered who was named after. None one. All British subs had names starting with a "T".
So I looked up the meaning of Trump and it refers to a card, the trump card being highest.
It also means a reliable person, or to outdo or be better than something, or someone, else It can mean "Trumped" up charges as well
None of these will matter when the left finds that it also means a 'fart in English slang.

He could win too, he's been successful in Nassau County and their hops is he could peel away downstate voters, particularly in Westchester, from Hochul that she really needs to win. But you are right to complain about his campaigning, I think he's been invisible too, which really sucks.

Economy Grows By Decent 2% Annualized Rate Despite Fuel Price Inflation; New Jobless Claims Fall to Near Record Lows
Via Ed Morrissey. It's a decent growth figure, rebounding from the weak 0.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.0 percent in the first quarter of 2026 (January, February, and March), according to the advance estimate released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter of 2025, real GDP increased 0.5 percent. The contributors to the increase in real GDP in the first quarter were investment, exports, consumer spending, and government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, also increased. ... Real final sales to private domestic purchasers, the sum of consumer spending and gross private fixed investment, increased 2.5 percent in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 1.8 percent in the fourth quarter.The nominal rate of growth -- unadjusted for inflation -- came in a huge 5.6%. That's a good sign, because the current inflation is temporary due to Iran throttling the Strait of America.
Danny DayanBy "claims," he means "new jobless filings," which came in at 189,000, the lowest since... 1969.
@DannyDayan5 The economy is simply on fire. -Claims lowest of cycle, 2nd lowest since 1969.
-ECI shows wages accelerating.
-Core PCE deflator (pre war) hottest since 2023.
-Nominal GDP very strong If anyone you follow is still talking rate cuts, fire them.

Well...we were getting flat jobs numbers for like a year. Still are, actually.
Which, in a country with, at best, flat population growth and very likely population decreases on net, means that the job market is actually fairly healthy.
The jobless claims released today is about people losing jobs and not getting new ones. Lowest in decades means a solid job market for those with jobs.

Did I say "Muslim immigrant"? I'm sorry, the propaganda media prefers the term "British national born in Somalia." In other words a foreign invader permitted to come to the UK and given a passport to commit jihad.
From the Anglo-Saxon Broadcast Corporation, circa 1066:
Did we say "Norman invader"? We're sorry, the preferred the term is "would be Anglo-Saxon national born in Normandy." In other words a foreign invader permitted to come to the Britain and given a passport to commit plunder, mayhem and mass murder on our inhabitants, not least of which was King Harold Godwinson.

"Trump should rush a geopolitical realignment that will benefit America for a generation in order to avoid a disaster in the midterms."
I swear. People are all, "Democrats know how to wield power. They import 20 million people into the nation not caring about how it'll affect their election prospects because they know it'll benefit them in the long term. Why can't the GOP do that, too?"
And then they turn around and are all, "Trump should be careful. He might make a misstep and give Democrats a small majority in the House which they will use to impeach him ineffectively."

Demand destruction in Africa (they're marching towards a recession and were before Iran) is limiting overall oil demand globally. This is being matched with increased production from America and effective increased production from the Middle East as more countries find ways around the strait (UAE broke ground on a new pipeline 3 weeks ago that should be done by late summer or so to bypass the strait...all while it's pledging increased production overall).

NEW: SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas issues a separate concurrence agreeing with the majority 6-3 decision on racial gerrymandering, but says he would have gone further:
“Today’s decision should largely put an end to this “disastrous misadventure” in voting-rights jurisprudence. As I explained more than 30 years ago, I would go further and hold that §2 of the Voting Rights Act does not regulate districting at all. The relevant text prohibits States from imposing or applying a “voting qualification,” “prerequisite to voting,” or “standard, practice, or procedure,” in a manner that results in a denial or abridgement of the right to vote based on race. 52 U. S. C. §10301(a). How States draw district lines does not fall within any of those three categories. The words in §2 instead “reach only ‘enactments that regulate citizens’ access to the ballot or the processes for counting a ballot’; they ‘do not include a State’s . . . choice of one districting scheme over another.’” Therefore, no §2 challenge to districting should ever succeed.”

Iran doesn't need to be wrapped up.

A woman in Mass set loose a bunch of bees on cops that came to evict her from her residence.
So she set upon them a swarm of benevolent insects who expire once they sting somebody instead of a swarm of malevolent insects that can sting and sting again without expiring?
And do you know why? Because the latter are called "wasps", and she was not going to be bound and beholden to wasps of any type.

The price of beef is high because of the confluence of two things.
The first is the 3 years ago, the Biden AG limited the size of herds. And then, there was a draught.
It takes 3 years for a calf to become big enough to slaughter for beef. So, we're dealing with one of the smallest beef herds per capita in modern American history.
It won't get fixed in the next few months. We will, though, see historically low beef prices by the 2028 election, though.

The lawsuit against Cloudera explains why. I suspect a lot more of those are coming in going after the H1B pipeline providers and the big hirers that rig job applications so as to approve H1B to replace American workers. The other work visas are also now under sustained scrutiny.
And the second reason is that with companies going to AI for a lot of generic coding issues, the demand for coders is going to go down.
If one is wise, jump to the security side as AI is going to reveal so many ancient and new exploits in code that there will be a surge in demand for those capable of patching security hole ridden software.

Hassett seems somewhat prone to dumbass statements, but he's correct here - the brightest signs are the ones not even typically discussed, especially guvamint employment.
The dead-flat economy under the vegetable administration only barely (or did it, even?) managed to avoid disastrous negative macro numbers thanks to insane wasteful harmful govt. spending and hiring.
It took 2 years to really begin to revive the real economy under Trump 1.0. This time there's a substantial and healthy reduction in govt. spending and hiring, absent the first time. Just hope for the sake of the pathetic electorate that the macro is really starting to move by late summer.

Because in red states, a lot of state legislators and lesser officials are actually stealth moderate Democrats in ideology.
They can't run as who they really are so they hide and call themselves Republicans and conservatives. And the big donors in many states are more liberal than the base voters and so they fund these types of "That is Not Who We Are" type candidates.
That is how you get DEI and Troon worship, and other such rot in 'red' states.

From other analysis this is a serious challenge to President Scheinbaum and the Morena ruling party as it implicates the entire government. Scheinbaum has the option to cover for Rocha Moya, or try to distance herself from the corruption. If the Governor of Sinaloa and other politicians wind up in custody in the US they will probably start telling who did what to when and how.
My analysis is this is similar to Venezuela where the cartels are the tail wagging the state dog, and Trump is trying to give the local government back to itself, in spite of itself, out from under the international cartels.
This is, amazingly enough, the basic plot of Dashiell Hammett's novel, Red Harvest.

We positively feel the defense budget (b/c a lof of our voters are in those "government supported" industries or positions). That's why Trump has gone whole hog on that, now. He needs to keep our voters.

Never trust academia and the media to actually tell you where the jobs will be. Both are incompetent at doing so.
I ended up becoming an unofficial jobs counselor for our department advisees because most of my colleagues were the sort to go directly to grad school rather than work. I spent years after undergrad working in different jobs including the military before I went into academia.
FWIW, every career field goes through slumps, sometimes for years, though not all are as screwed up as IT because of the cheap labor visa pipelines and outsourcing.
But one of the key things is being willing to relocate to get that initial job and often doing scutwork for a couple of years.

And not stupidly doubling down on fossil fuels. And not building around c*rs and s*b*rbs for decades
Don’t forget the tariffs, massive cuts to immigration, the government shutdown, and all the firings of federal employees.
If the economy can survive all of that, then there’s almost nothing that could crash it.
The economy is resilient, but more people in all classes are growing discontent. What’s the point of the economy anyways if it can’t bring quality of life.
Meanwhile, In the first quarter of 2026, seasonally adjusted GDP increased by 0.1% in both the euro area and the EU, compared with the previous quarter, and Canada: Real gross domestic product (GDP) was up 0.2% in February, with goods-producing industries driving the growth for the second consecutive month.

Don't do that to yourself. You did your job.
Young adults learning consequences of their own actions from the outside world and recovering from those builds character. Yet, it will still hurt a good parent to see their kids suffer. All you can do is be supportive and try to help keep the episode in perspective for the kid.

Yep, masses of illegals are deadweight and caused a spike in inflationary spending as they consume more than they produce. Capital investment is spiking in the US BECAUSE of tariffs and uncertainty in maintaining global supply chains and that will result in us living better, producing more, with less inputs. Plus jobs. And reshoring and producing oil and gas provides jobs, keeps inflation and price spikes minimal even with the Gulf being affected.
Demand-pull used by Trump works to our favor; Democrat demand-push economic policies doesn't. Trump gets rid of useless government policies while doing useful ones and allows the markets to work creating demand that pulls investment.
Democrats instead mandate economic policies like wages, work conditions, DEI that push the markets to try to fix what the Dems have broken. EV is an example of push type policies that the Dems have done.

Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer
I am not cognizant of you and your daughter's situation, but in my own situation, there was a time when I regarded our daughter as the bane of this household. If there was something stupid to do, she would do it without devoting any thought to how the outcome from having done so could redound to her detriment.
What irked me most about such goings on was how she steadfastly refused to see that her subsequent travails were brought upon her by her. I would not accept any "whaddabouttas" or "itwasnotmyfault" utterances from her an so we would clash.
A decade or more down the line, with her out on her own, she has largely shed that mindset and instead deals with the path that her actions and inactions have laid out for her. That she has a partner who is more grounded in what's real has helped, too. Our relationship is improved. I have dropped worrying about her in any small matters in favor of trying to help her see where she can exercise her talents in ways that benefit both her and those important to her in her life.

During the U.S. Senate hearing Gen. Caine said that Putin is assisting Iran in conducting its war.
I know Trump has a "friendly" relation with Putin, but Putin is stabbing Trump in the back in the Ukraine war and the Iran war.
I hope Trump realizes Putin is the enemy and is an evil, diabolical monster.

Do watch though for alcohol and other substance abuse signs. That is where females in particular can go off the rails. Especially given other medications handed out as candy as alcohol reacts with a lot of them. It often becomes a self medicating process for our sometimes personal and societal depression causing events.
Once I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis, I stopped drinking totally simply because of drug interactions and to be honest, some depression due to infirmities.
One trick I used to do to maintain conviviality at faculty and social events and driving afterwards is get sparkling soda with a twist of lime which resembles a G&T. You can drink all you want of those with no risk except maybe to going to the bathroom a bit and yet look like you are not being a party pooper.
Not really safe in this day and age to get blottoed anyway in public--too many predators hang around inside and outside of bars.

Thanks and very true that there are a number of substitutes that add no calories and are even healthful (eg a Bloody Mary with no alcohol).
I still use wine and beer for cooking and for the most part, cheap box wine works just fine for something like coq a vin. Also keep Marsala and Sherry around for specific dishes. Very useful for flavoring and sauces and since you don't care if it tends toward becoming vinegary from storage in the refrigerator, keeps for a long time but you don't WANT to drink it.

A Muslim Immigrant Goes on Stabbing Spree in Jewish Neighborhood in the UK
Did I say "Muslim immigrant"? I'm sorry, the propaganda media prefers the term "British national born in Somalia." In other words a foreign invader permitted to come to the UK and given a passport to commit jihad.
I saw this yesterday but I didn't post it because, as usual, they were hiding the identity of the terrorist. Identity is the most important thing until an identity favored by the left shoots up a church or school or goes on a stabbing spree. John Sexton quoting Islamic State Media the BBC:Apparently the usual suspects are whining that the British National was kicked when he was on the ground, but that's because, see, he refused to release the knife after attempting to stab the cops.
The two men, aged 76 and 34, were treated at the scene and are now in a stable condition in hospital, the Metropolitan Police said. A 45-year-old man, a British national born in Somalia, was Tasered by police before being arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, the force said. The suspect is now in custody... The Met said its officers responded at 11:16 BST on Wednesday after receiving reports that people had been stabbed in Highfield Avenue, which runs off Golders Green Road. The suspect also attempted to stab the attending officers, the Met said, but none were injured.
WARNING GRAPHIC FOOTAGE
— Ari Hoffman (@thehoffather) April 29, 2026
Earlier today, there was a terror attack in Golders Green, a heavily Jewish neighborhood in London. 2 Jews were stabbed.
During the attack, UK Israelis driving by warned Jews to flee from the terrorist who was approaching from behind them. pic.twitter.com/tKxQaJnZzk

“Mr. Allen has no criminal history — not even prior arrests, which alone would rebut the presumption of detention,” they wrote in an 11-page filing on Thursday.

40 NYPost:
Defense attorneys claimed that Allen, 31, was not prepared to carry out a mass shooting in the room where Trump, first lady Melania and most of the top members of the administration were in attendance — because he had a pump-action shotgun.
“Mr. Allen has no criminal history — not even prior arrests, which alone would rebut the presumption of detention,” they wrote in an 11-page filing on Thursday.

The good news is, the defense is admitting they've got nothing.
Maybe they can append that to their case -- "Defendant is at a structural disadvantage because we've got nothing."
"And humiliating photos of him naked on the floor were released."

Maine Shows Antisemitism Is a Shortcut to Success in the Modern Democratic Party
Governor Janet Mills on Thursday announced that she was dropping out of the Maine Senate race, with polls showing her way behind Graham Platner, who is now presumed to be the Democrat who will go up against Senator Susan Collins in one of the most hotly contested races of the year.
Next Video
Platner was largely unknown at this point last year and yet managed to drive a sitting governor out of the primary before a single vote was cast. But he had one thing going for him, which is that he gained attention for his antisemitism. That is a ticket to success in the modern Democratic Party.

Check the price of jumbo eggs. They're usually cheaper than large eggs. No idea why.
Also, don't buy those jumbo eggs from big commercial stores. The yolks are often smaller than standard large eggs and the entire egg tastes like nothing but whites.

Supply and demand. Most recipes and most simple to make boxed/bagged items which call for eggs always use the large size. So, more folks want those size than any other egg.

------------------
The man suspected of stabbing two Jewish people in Golders Green has been named as Essa Suleiman.
Suleiman, 45, a Somali-born British national, was arrested on Wednesday after Shloime Rand, 34, and Moshe Ben Baila, named locally as Moshe Shine, 76, were attacked by a knifeman.
Police have confirmed the suspect is a 45-year-old Somali-born British national with a history of 'serious violence and mental health issues', who first came to the UK legally in the 1990s.
He was referred to the government's anti-extremism programme Prevent in 2020, but the case was closed later that year. It is understood Suleiman, previously of Camberwell, is a Somali translator who once worked as a school security guard.
In 2008, Suleiman was accused of attacking a police officer and his dog, leaving the officer with injuries that kept him off work for five months.

Granted, it revolves around a secret military special forces & intelligence branch & unit on missions all over the world, but:
It has to have the greatest number of firearm (and other ordinance) firings and body count per hour episode in the history of television. It's the wifey's greatest guilty pleasure -- aside from ... well, we won't go there.

This is what is going to enrage me and send me into rants if SCOTUS passes the birthright bs. An industry in chy na and other countries. Hatch them here and return to sender for commie indoctrination or learing (sic) stab,rape and fraud lessons. Then return at voting age to create all sorts of hell in our country and join gang bangers.

The Morning Rant
On the Left, people point to January 6 as well as data purporting to show that most political violence comes from the Right. After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, The Economist ran a piece claiming to explain “what the data show,” which suggested that most political violence was a Right-wing phenomenon. Other publications cited studies from the Center for Strategic & International Studies or the CATO Institute. The problem is, the “data” that these outlets have been relying on is deeply flawed. One of the major sources is the Prosecution Project, an initiative of the University of Cincinnati, which analyzes felony criminal cases involving political violence and sorts them by ideology. “The project examines criminal complaints, indictments and court records, looking for crimes that seek ‘a socio-political change or to communicate’ to outside audiences,” per The Economist. “Its data show that extremists on both left and right commit violence, although more incidents appear to come from right-leaning attackers.” Yet if you pull up the data center yourself, you can see immediately that it is deeply flawed.Read the entire thing, and check her work! Because that is what sane people do. This is a vitally important analysis, for the obvious reasons, but also because it proves that what we all suspected was in fact the truth...we cannot believe anything the left says...and the left is everywhere. [Yeah...Ace beat me to this. I figured his shelving accident would give me enough lead time, but I was wrong.]

U.S. National Debt now growing by $180 million per hour — and $5 billion every day.
Current debt per taxpayer = $357,069

If you had told Paul Ryan in 2010 that the debt in 16 years would be $36 trillion, he'd say that math demands that we be in default and bankrupt.
I've been hearing that our debt will destroy us for a long time. I'm not MMT here, but the limits of what the reserve currency of the world and petrodollar controlling nation can do with its debt is...much more than we were led to believe.
Besides, the political moment to deal with it was 2012 when Ryan was nominated for VP. And then Mitt Romney let Obama steal Florida, Michigan, and Nevada without objection.

I had a professor at UT who's brother played in David Allan Coe's band.
According to her, well, her brother, DAC was like the Shane MacGowan of country music.(circa 70s-early 80s)
The money was good but they had to constantly baby sit DAC because he was liable to get so plastered or high before or during a gig that he could barely perform or would shit his pants or pass out or pass out and shit his pants.
Not every time obviously, but often enough for it to make a mark. Though in DAC's favor..when he was on, he was really on.
Anyway, RIP.

Today, it's over 9:1 with many departments having ZERO conservatives.
ON THE PLUS SIDE, most colleges are about to die because they are faced with a declining available population AND a populace awakening to the fact that for most degrees there is zero or negative return to spending money to go to college.

It's also another reason it isn't even close to both sides: violence is hard-coded into the left's political DNA. When your worldview is Power No Matter the Cost, morality must be flexible enough to allow any viable means to gain that power.
Of course, the core problem underneath it all is that they unwittingly serve the Father of Lies, who didn't have to work terribly hard at gassing up their self-love.

As someone who's researched Medicare a good bit prior to my wife turning 65, it's not free.
- Medicare part A - inpatient hospital - is 'free' assuming you've worked enough quarters over your life and pays 80% of approved expenses with no maximum out of pocket for the rest.
- Medicare part B - outpatient stuff - has a monthly premium (currently starts at a bit over $200) which increases if you make too much money.
- Medicare part D - drugs has a monthly premium which increases if you make too much money.
- Medicare doesn't pay for dental, or vision, or hearing.

Canada really is a banana republic.
This is pathetic.
"Our Managing Editor, Cosmin Dzsurdzsa has obtained a secret, internal bombshell report from the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School. This 15 page document exposes shocking military secrets that Mark Carney is not sharing with the public. One critical platoon was revealed to be 83% non-citizen residents – many in Canada for just three months – and it descended into total dysfunction. Cultural infighting between Cameroonian and Ivorian factions within the CANADIAN Armed Forces. Repeated allegations of racism flying between squabbling tribes. A shocking lack of respect toward female members and instructors.

The report, authored by Lieutenant Colonel M.R. Kieley, is devastating. It likely crossed the desk of Prime Minister Carney, and now, I am sharing with you what he does not want known. Instructors watched cultural blocs clash constantly. Older permanent residents arrived expecting a “technical college,” not military discipline. Many couldn’t read training materials without help. Fitness levels cratered. Language barriers crippled communication.

I think stupidity is more than just a lack of intelligence. It's a rejection of rationality and empiricism, of objective fact, of the idea that objective facts can even exist, the rejection of cause and effect, the refusal to accept that actions have consequences, the rejection of critical thinking of any kind. Stupidity is being taught, enforced, and reinforced by our educational system and our culture. Some people take pride in their stupidity, even though they don't call it by its name.

It's a rather unfunny show. This is particularly pronounced when you watch some of the clips with the laugh tracks scrubbed out. It's just a string of cringe moments with an implied "please laugh" hanging in the air with the pathetic pall of an imploring Jeb Bush begging for applause.

Eh, like most modern sitcoms, it is a "character comedy".
There aren't so many jokes as there are wacky situations that character X gets into or character Y deploys their catchphrase - The thing! He said the Thing! Hahaha!
So, you have to watch it for a while to get the characters and their eccentricities.

Defense attorneys claimed that Allen, 31, was not prepared to carry out a mass shooting in the room where Trump, first lady Melania and most of the top members of the administration were in attendance — because he had a pump-action shotgun.
the logic: a shotgun is a poor choice when planning an assassination, so obviously my client wasn't really serious about carrying out the attack! He just didn't think it thru.

This is why staying home for college has gone bonkers. There's a reason GMU in Fairfax has become one of the most populated schools on the East Coast. It wasn't its initial pedigree, although as you gain all the smart kids who stay home, somehow your school gets better...
Have you seen the size of the new housing complex they just finished on the S side of 123? It's enormous. It used to be that GMU was a commuter school, but it looks like they're building it up now as a residential campus as well.
Posted by: Archimedes at April 30, 2026 12:08 PM (Riz8t)
Yup. But it's still a commuter school. They only house about 20% of the kids. Their philsophy is to admit almost everyone, and fail out those kids who don't care or try. I think that should be every college's concept. Real grades for everyone in every subject (one of my neighborhood kids failed out this year - didn't bother doing homework - at Yale as a disabled kid (b/c he does have some learning disabilities), he'd still have had an A).

The fraud & mismanagement by the government (all levels) are often thanks to programs enabled by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through the expansion of supplemental benefits, particularly under the CHRONIC Care Act of 2018.
Non-profit food distribution, home healthcare 'resources' on every other block in urbanized areas, free meals for Medicare Advantage 'customers' w/dietary restrictions, now including Medicaid, via state Medicaid expansion.
But it's not universal, nor is it necessary benefitting a great deal of eligible seniors on Medicare Advantage but rather it - and similar programs - have turned into much broader, highly subsidized money makers w/little accountability & often found in urbanized areas.
See VA programs, too.

Anyways - ART - this actually just came up a few minutes ago. This is from Gemini. Some interesting stories from the art world I'm looking forward to learning more about.
Section 3: Visual & Surface Arts
Theme: The struggle to capture light, the danger of pigments, and the obsession with the perfect line.
The Lead White Poison: The "Venetian Ceruse" that gave painters the perfect white but slowly paralyzed and killed them.
Monet’s Cataracts: How the artist’s failing eyes turned his late water lilies into abstract explosions of red and purple.
The Blue of the Virgin: The extreme cost of Lapis Lazuli, often more expensive than gold, reserved only for the holiest figures.
The Anatomy Lessons: How Da Vinci and Michelangelo risked arrest and disease to dissect cadavers for "perfect" muscle sketches.
The Secret of the Camera Obscura: The controversial theory that the Old Masters used "optical cheats" to achieve photographic realism.
Mummy Brown: The macabre history of a pigment literally made from ground-up Egyptian mummies.

There are two buttons and every reasoning adult on earth must press one.
If you press the blue button nothing happens to *anyone* as long as more then 50% choose the blue button. If less then 50% choose the blue button all blue button pushers die
If you press the red button nothing happens you either way
Now, I think this is a dumb question for a reason I'll get into later if people are interested in this topic, but what would YOU press and why?
Posted by: 18-1 at April 30, 2026 10:03 AM (sKqQm)
The Speed of Van Gogh: Painting Starry Night in a single feverish session while confined to an asylum.
The Vermeer Grid: The obsessive, pin-and-string method used to lock down perfect 3D perspective on a 2D canvas.
The Graphite Smugglers: When high-quality graphite was so rare it was guarded by the British Crown like a military secret.
The Watercolor Gamble: A medium that allows no mistakes—one drop of water can ruin a month of work.
The Daguerreotype Mist: The early photographers who sat in rooms filled with mercury vapor just to develop a single image.
The Charcoal Burners: The ancient, dirty process of turning willow branches into the artist’s most basic tool.
The Cinnabar Red: The "Dragon’s Blood" pigment that was highly toxic but gave the world its most vibrant vermilion.
The Stipple Obsession: Artists who created entire masterpieces using nothing but millions of tiny ink dots.

But I see a common way people play now is some weird thing where they pretend to seduce NPCs played by your friends and deal with very modern sort of issues.

No, seriously, I’m not used to that take. I’m used to people bitching about it like it’s some affront to humanity. And, working in a store as my side hustle, I 100% agree with the business standpoint. It’s worth remembering that of every $1 you spend, 0.01 of that is profit to the store. They must find ways to cut corners and get you to buy more. If they could miracle the product onto the shelves at night, they’d do it in a heartbeat.

Having spent some considerable time in health care waiting rooms, I grew a little tired of seeing people sitting around, isolated, as though they were in a funeral parlor. So, I just started striking up conversations with perfect strangers. Most folks are amenable to that, given a friendly approach. I think the key is to find some introductory approach that has nothing to do with the immediate circumstance. "How are you folks today?" works well in the South. Traffic and weather are always topics to get things under way. Before you know it, you'll find out where they are from, where they went to school etc.
This almost always results in nice conversations.

The Morning Report — 4/ 30/26
center>
Good morning kids. Unfortunately, my dear wonderful wife is addicted to listening to the inbred mouth-breathing credibly-accused intern-murderer Joe Scarborough and his blonde bimbo concubine Mitzi Baryshnikov on MSNSDAP, who almost daily give a platform to deranged scumbag racial arsonist Al Sharpton. While I do my very best to tune all of them out today the wailing and moaning of feces-to-the-face bootblack Sharpton are music to my ears as he flips his sewer-lid medallion over yesterday's glorious victory of America and civilization over his and his ilk's multigenerational strangulation of them.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday sharply limited the ability of states to consider race when drawing congressional maps, a decision that could reshape the balance of power in Washington and intensify redistricting battles ahead of the 2026 midterms. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito struck down Louisiana’s congressional map, which included two majority-black districts, as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. In the court’s 36-page opinion, Alito emphasized that “the Constitution almost never permits the Federal Government or a State to discriminate on the basis of race,” framing the central question as whether compliance with the Voting Rights Act justifies such actions. For the court’s conservative wing, the answer was no.Alito and the five other justices were absolutely correct, moral and courageous in upholding the ideals of our Constitution and the ideals behind the concept that undergirds our society, "American Exceptionalism": that is that our founding and society are the exception to every other society in history, which was based on tyranny and oppression of the citizenry. No doubt this is a big victory but I have a niggling (racist?) feeling that SCOTUS threw us a bone with this insofar as they've already made up their minds that they are going to preserve, protect and defend the bastardization of the 14th Amendment that allows foreigners to spawn on our shores to proclaim the babies as American citizens and then magically transmogrify the parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and others born elsewhere as Americans and ship them all in to become Democrat voters and welfare recipients. For sure the win yesterday is a gut punch for the Democrat/Leftists, but losing birthright citizenship would potentially be catastrophic for them. Unfortunately, Dobbs, Bruen and this ruling aside, SCOTUS and every court in the land cannot be trusted to do the right thing. Especially given what President Trump and many decent ordinary Americans have had to endure in the wake of J/6, School board and Pro-life protests that saw them persecuted by judges and prosecutors at the behest of Biden/Obama and their minions. With the clock running down on the Trump miracle administration, there is also talk about Alito and or Clarence Thomas retiring, who can the President turn to or trust to advise him as to replacements?
On Wednesday, the 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the president had raised his arguments too late.I'll complete the thought for the hack-in-black..."If only he didn't survive that assassination attempt, we'd hear the case... And then rule against him after they shoved the orangeman casket into the ground." And of course we have this that undergirds my fears about Birthright Citizenship:
The three liberal judges — all of whom usually support pro-migration claims — suggested they might block Trump’s actions on the claim that Trump may be partially motivated by racially discriminatory “animus.”Finally there's this insanity. And note who the judge is.
Brnovich,Judge Susan Brnovich of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on Tuesday said that the state’s voter registration list is not subject to requests from the U.S. Attorney General. Brnovich, a Trump appointed-judge, dismissed the case with prejudice because an amended complaint would be “legally futile.” The dismissal follows after after judges have ruled against the Justice Department’s attempted to obtain at least 30 states and the District of Columbia’s constituents date of birth, address, driver’s license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers. The Trump administration seeks the data to ensure states are complying with federal election laws and to check the citizenship status of individuals on the voter rolls.Gevalt. Alito and Thomas cannot and will not hang on forever, despite Thomas knowing full well where this nation is headed. God bless him for hanging on. Every second he lasts gives us a fighting chance, however brief.
Have a great day! One final totally random musing... Color me jaded but let's say that if I were a late night host and quipped "The Meathead got a meat cleaver" about Rob Reiner, I don't think I'd get the guffaws or invocation of the First Amendment that homunculus Kimmel got. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

In fact, he was no more a robber baron then the entire class of hard-nosed businessmen who in the 1800s became America’s first generation of today’s billionaires, using the free enterprise system to gather wealth to themselves while building vast industries that employed millions and made the lives of everyone better and more prosperous.
Who really was Jay Gould?

Just say it’s because they’re Democrats.
The people who safeguard and interpret the constitution basically said, “Screw this document!”
Republicans dismantling the Voting Rights Act while calling Democrats racist. 🤷🏻♂️ And the number of “dems are the party of kkk and Jim Crow” posts I’ve seen today is crazy.
Voting places by population numbers only. Close all the country voting sites. Maybe mail in ballots only. SCOTUS just ruled USPS is immune from lawsuits for intentionally not delivering mail...
Problem is that there are more GOP opportunities to gerrymander than there are Dem ones. I'm not saying don't do it, but the numbers suggest they if everyone does it the GOP comes out ahead in the end.
Why are Democrats fighting by the rules when Republicans are using asymmetrical warfare? Maybe arrest the ICE agents like they said they would, for starters? Gerrymander as hard as the GOP has? Just ignore rulings and do what they want (that helps their states) like the entire GOP does?

Hasan is a violent communist who wants blood in the streets and wealth redistribution, but thinks he'll be allowed to keep his wealth because he'll be part of fhe ruling elite. He was born into wealth, while Shoe had a more middle-class upbringing, which changes perspective immensely.

Have been for some time. 40% of New England votes Republican yet we don't have a single rep in the House. This is not new and not only does it surpress the will of actual voters it gives a skewed view to the world what the will of the people actually is and it makes in next to impossible for a Republican view to be heard here.

Occasionally I'll see moderate/naive leftists argue we should have independent commissions to set districts but...setting districts is something that is always going to be decided in a partisan manner because it is so impactful and there are so many largely arbitrary decisions to make.

Near the start of the war the Spartans chased the Athenians into their walls as Athens believed they couldn't win a land battle in Attica, but the Athenians controlled the seas so they could send their soldiers abroad and get food from their colonies and allies.
Later the Spartans took away Athen's control of the seas. Now without the ability to farm locally or import food they faced starvation and surrendered.

The racism she, and her co-dissenters, possess is the kind of deep, ingrained and unquestioned racism built over a lifetime.
Where it has become so natural, that the racist beliefs are shortened to "common sense" and "everybody knows."
Look at her "wheel" example and tell me it's not racist in every aspect.
See, everybody knows that whites should not--and will not--vote for a black candidate.
Everybody knows that blacks are so inferior that they can only be represented by blacks (if they deserve representation at all).
And, everybody knows, since the law demands blacks be given a vote, it's best to confine and constrict them to one district, to prevent them from having any voice or power in the remaining 5.
That way, the whites can freely run the whole state.
And if the blacks need of anything from the state, the whites will see to it that their needs are met.
That's the kind of racism even the most racist former slave owner of the antebellum era would endorse.

Years ago I was reading a thread where some lefty had pulled by state numbers on obesity and the lefties were having a good laugh about all those fat southerners. No wonder they vote wrong they can't even understand they can't eat junk food all day and waddle around!
Another poster, not me, pulled the county data and referenced it by racial makeup. His data showed the counties that were mostly white were average in terms of obesity but the ones that were mostly minority ? Bigguns.
Now suddenly it was no longer funny to laugh at those fatties.
And in the years since then it is interesting the left has embraced "body positivity" in general and an argument that being obese is a core part of being black (which should be offensive as hell to black people)...but they still like laughing at the trope of fat rednecks.

Go back to my example of a state with equal population in rural, suburban, urban regions.
My suggested split, make each region one district, gives the Rs a 2-1 win.
You could instead combine the urban and suburban areas into 2 districts and have a state with a Donk 2-1 win.
And I'm sure you could make some nominally non-partisan argument for it.

WASHINGTON — Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration discussed their desire to target Catholic nuns, text messages shared with The Daily Wire show.
Communications obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) show Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston texting one another in February 2021 as they scoured media coverage of January 6. The texts specifically reference a New York Times photo of religious sisters who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally, wearing traditional habits and veils, as well as big Trump scarves around their necks.
“I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them,” Gaston wrote to Cooney.
“I’m with you,” responded Cooney. “Although I’d like to prosecute any nun who still wears the head habit.”
“Hahaha,” his fellow DOJ prosecutor responded.

In Gerrymandering Case, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Releases New Map for 2018 Elections
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday released a new congressional district map, upending familiar boundaries, renumbering districts across the state and giving a potential boost to Democrats in the 2018 House elections.
The district is composed primarily of Delaware County (approx. 80%), with added portions of South/Southwest Philadelphia and a small slice of southeastern Montgomery County (e.g., Bryn Mawr, Ardmore).
But now the socialists are on the move endorsing "everyman" - 'educators,' entrepreneurs, small business owners (especially non-profit types) and physicians are also moving into politics.
For example, Hasan Piker endorsed 'unapologetically progressive' Rep. Rabb in Philly for the 3rd Congressional District race. OTOH: Philadelphia Inquirer, Apr. 21st, 'Three members of Congress are backing Ala Stanford in the Philly primary, exposing a divide among Democrats'

I pray for you for sticking with your beloved in spite of her fealty to "Joe Scarborough and his blonde bimbo concubine Mitzi Baryshnikov on MSNSDA". It takes a real committed trouper to raise their sword and charge into battle knowing that their odds are on the negative side. Your are forever a positive believer in the face of destitution. And yet you charge on. Kudos for your pledged commitment!

We'd end up training ourselves to lean on that crutch all the time, and our own memories would suffer. Also, who knows what the companies providing this "service" would do with all that interpersonal/connection information.

All of that, Fen, and it's basically for tech addicts and people always 'on-the-go' who would like to access information from their smartphone without having to look down at a phone to do it. They also have cameras so you can record your life like a permanent Go-Pro camera.

I worry that, even not connecting a smart TV to the internet or Wifi, it'll connect to neighbors' WiFi just to communicate back to the mothership. I doubt they even give you the option to turn off WiFi, thus leaving your Smart TV open to hacking. I definitely don't want a TV that has cameras built-in...those are frickin' scary...

My historical project to chronicle the late, great Lacey's show career continues. Sometimes it's quite odd. She was in 378 shows as a special. Some judges I thought she had been under a great many times may have only been once or twice. She showed 8 times at Midwest Borzoi Club specialties and never won. She showed 8 times at the National Specialty and only won once, her very last show. And some of the results where she didn't win I shake my head; how could the judge put that one up?

Like, for instance, they come up with their recommendations by keeping track of what you watch and serving up similar media to you.
Also, every time the software is updated you have to either run through the same list and check yourself out of the feature, or go into Settings and make sure they haven't opted you back in.
How well this really keeps the spying down is unknown to me, but the options are there.
They are really convenient if you watch YouTube or other streaming services, which is why I don't really mind them.
They aren't going to get much more info off of me than we normally get off of surfing the web.
That's also part of the reason Smart TVs are so cheap.
All of the pre-installed apps and Ads you see on the Home page, are paid for and bring down the cost, similar to pre-built PCs, and Android smartphones with their pre-installed junkware.

For both systems, you go through a couple of rounds of measurement, adjustment, and rounding.
Imperial measurements are always rounded DOWN to the nearest 3". Metric measurements are always rounded DOWN to the nearest 0.1 m. In both cases, rounding DOWN ensures that the maximum allowable distance will be well within a margin of error.

Buckner was described as a 'large–scale narcotics trafficker,' per a criminal complaint filed last Thursday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan."
He was charged with distribution and conspiracy to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine.

>> Probably the worst decision of Tim Cook's Apple CEO career.
The guy they’ve tapped to takeover for Cook is the guy that led the VR Development team as well as a couple of other failed ventures.
Anyone who spends 5 seconds wearing a VR headset would know of its limitations and utility.
I’m betting this guy never put one on for even a second.

She had always been interested in animals. She wanted to be a vet (and would have been a good one) but she came from a time and parents who said, no, you're going to get married.
She acquired her first Borzoi in 1971 (Soyara's Lanishka). Her lines were wiped out twice, once by PRA and once by Hashimoto's. She divorced in the early 90's and returned to Australia. She hated it and came back to the US.
In 1994, we were married. I don't do any showing myself, but I've given her the resources and support so that she could become an important person in the national breed club and show three dogs (Lacey, Dutch and Delilah) to #1 national breed rankings.

SSL certificates for "smilies" (emoticons or custom forum emoji) usually refer to securing the image files, message board, or website that hosts them to prevent mixed content errors, where secure pages fail to load insecure images.
Securing Smilies and Images
If your smilies are not displaying, it is often due to an "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" error, where the images are loaded via HTTP instead of HTTPS. To fix this, the server hosting the smiley images must have a valid SSL certificate.

The hardware for it was top of the line, no doubt.
Reviewers raved about the display quality being the best they'd ever seen in a headset.
Problem was it was only useful for watching films, or hooking up a Mac and using the virtual desktop.
If they had lowered the price and concentrated more on gaming it could've been a minor hit.

"Running unmodified WordPress is bad enough; adding plugins is asking for it."
My late husband did web design and management as a side gig, and after a series of Russia-based SQL injections washed his hands of WP and swore on Joomla. The problem is that Joomla is not casual-friendly in any way, and pretty much everyone around us was WP exclusive due to it being simple.
Of course, that plug-and-play aspect is complete illusion; self-hosting WP equals a ridiculous amount of hardening if you don't want your site to be a playground for script kiddies. At that point you might as well bite the bullet and use Joomla anyway because you're still going to be doing a lot of work to harden your site no matter what, and Joomla modules are easier to install and update. (Although even vanilla Joomla is decently secure) So I don't recommend WP for self-hosting even for blogging, (their hosted sites are reasonably secure but that doesn't really make it any different than blogging on Substack) you're better off with a real CMS and a hosting service that offers autoinstallation.

Wednesday Night ONT - April 29, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace and Megyn free zone. Please. Will you be smarter after reading this ONT? Will you be better looking? Will you be more fun at parties? Will you lose weight? Will you be wealthier? Will you be more fashionable? Maybe you should just settle for being whelmed. [Top photo: Somewhere unknown in Ireland that reminds me of Stonehenge but doesn't look anything like Stonehenge, Jenny Rose photo]Barry Larkin, now a veterinary surgeon from Melbourne, planned to interupt the torch relay along with eight other students from St John's College, believing that the Olympic Flame received too much reverence. The fake torch was hardly a master forgery, which makes the fact that it was passed off as the real deal all the more humorous. The fake was made using no more than a wooden chair leg that had been painted silver, holding at top a plum pudding can. As for the flame, which proved to be far from a reverent affair, this was created using a pair of underpants, soaked in kerosene. After a shaky start, Larkin ran with the torch to Sydney Town Hall protected by police who thought that he was the official runner, where he presented the torch to the Mayor of Sydney, Pat Hills. As the mayor was unprepared, he did not look at the torch and went straight to his speech. While Hills was talking, Larkin walked quietly away, avoiding attention. Hills didn't realise at all that the torch was fraudulent until someone whispered in his ear and told him it was a fake. Hills looked around for Larkin, but by now Larkin had merged into the crowd and escaped.What could be a better tribute to the Olympic spirit than unauthorized flaming underwear on a chair leg?
A bill introduced in the Ohio House would designate the Loveland Frogman as the state's official cryptid. A bill sponsored by Reps. Tristan Rader, D-13th district, and Jean Schmidt, R-62nd district, calls for the local legend to be named Ohio's official state cryptid. House Bill 821 describes the Loveland Frogman as "a frog-like, bipedal creature standing approximately four feet tall." The legend dates back to 1972, when two police officers reported spotting a large frog-like creature on different nights. The Frogman made headlines again in 2016, when a couple claimed to have seen the massive amphibian while playing Pokemon Go. The sighting prompted Mark Mathews, who purports to be one of the police officers who spotted the Frogman in 1972, to come forward with the whole story. Mathews said the first officer to spot the Frogman, Ray Shockey, told him he saw the creature near the Totes boot factory and the Little Miami River. Mathews said he was skeptical of the story, but a few days later he was driving in the same area when he saw something run across the road. He ended up shooting the creature and putting it in his trunk to show Shockey, who confirmed it was the same animal he had seen. The animal was a 3- to 3 1/2-foot-long iguana that was missing its tail.I don't know whether to be impressed that the Ohio legislature has solved the rest of the world's problems so that they have time for such things, horrified that the Ohio legislature is passing legislation to to formally embrace a hoax, or pleased that people so stupid are busy doing things like this instead of doing harm by "fixing" things elsewhere. At least in North Carolina, they're spending their time looking for something that actually exists. Although I'm not sure how big a missing pig needs to be to warrant making the news. To be fair, the report does say the pig has "absolute unit" status.
The world's largest Tyrannosaurus Rex statue needs a new home. Tyra, located in the Canadian Badlands, is a gigantic kitschy roadside attraction that, like the dinosaurs she is based on, is facing extinction. The 86-foot-tall T. rex that weighs in at around 145,000 pounds - significantly taller and heavier than any real-life T. rex - has called the small Canadian town of Drumheller her home since 2000. Visitors have been able to climb inside the giant dinosaur and stand in its open jaws that double as a viewing platform. Unfortunately, according to the Calgary Herald, Tyra is facing a problem no dinosaur has ever faced in their collective many millions of years on Earth: her lease is set to expire. In 2029, the current terms suggest that the structure could be dismantled. Local officials understand that it is a bit of a logistical nightmare to just up and move a giant dinosaur monolith, but so far, no one has come up with a viable solution for moving such a behemoth. In the meantime, Tyra underwent a structural assessment to ensure that she is stable and safe, and local officials invested over $300,000 into repairing and restoring the local landmark, ensuring that if Tyra does in fact change locations, she will be in relatively good shape.Maybe AOP needs a new lawn ornament? Tyra lives just down the road. If anyone can engineer a giant T-Rex transfer, it is AOP. Hat tip: Blaster
You would be surprised to learn that almost 69% of the US mushroom production occurs in the borough of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. It is a small town of about 6000 people, but mushroom-growing facilities around town produce almost 451 million pounds of mushrooms annually (2024). 451 million pounds of mushrooms would occupy about 45 American football fields or 35 soccer fields. The dollar value of mushroom production in the US is roughly $ 1 billion per year.
China is the undisputed leader in mushroom production. China accounts for 93% of the world's global mushroom production.
The history of mushroom farming in Kennett Square dates back to 1885, when a grower obtained mushroom spores from Europe and began growing mushrooms. This concentration of mushroom farming in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, is due to historical immigration patterns, primarily of Italians in the 1950s or 1960s, easy availability of horse manure for the mushroom substrate, and easy access to the Philadelphia and New York markets.Source
Keyshun Jones was fired from the store in Grapevine, outside Dallas, last November, but authorities say he would repeatedly slip back in, enter food orders on the register, and refund them to his personal credit card. Jones was taken into custody on April 17 after allegedly ringing up 800 orders of mac and cheese. Investigators began investigating the cheesy fraud after the restaurant reported hundreds of phony refunds. Jones faces charges of property theft, money laundering and evading arrest. He faces up to 10 years in state prison, if convicted - where he'll also be able to order mac & cheese, according to the menus on the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.Just imagine the jailhouse conversation: "What are you in for?" "Money laundering" "Yeah? Wow. That's sounds big. What did you do?" "I stole 800 orders of mac and cheese."

The State of AI Traffic report by Human Sec found automated traffic grew nearly eight times faster than human activity in 2025.
"The internet as a whole was created with this very basic notion that there's a human being on the other side of the computer screen, and that notion is very rapidly being replaced," said Stu Solomon, CEO of Human Security.

Lightning strikes giant dinosaur animatronic in Kansas, leaves only skeleton behind

Yikes! Toasted dino?!
Excerpt from the story:
The dinosaur, a Sauroposeidon (which means Earthquake God Lizard), was park of the Field Station: Dinosaurs theme park in Derby, Kansas. A storm pushed through the park April 25, which is when the nearly 100-foot long dinosaur caught fire, according to the Derby Fire Department.

Well, I drove to Rotten Monkey House today to look at a car for sale. Owner had about 4 dogs running loose on the place. They barked at me, but were mostly friendly. One shaggy dog wanted to be my bestest friend ever. Sat down, put a front paw on my knee, and begged for cuddles and skritches.
Come to think of it, the car was pretty shaggy, too.

Might be the frequency they operate on. For a while GM had one frequency, Ford another, and so on. I think there were about 4, maybe 5 different frequencies used by various manufacturers.
I had all 4 in my wife's Ford Explorer (2020) replaced this past summer. They are a different frequency than my Chevy Colorado pickup.
It could also be a simple matter of "arming" it via some weird shit you do in the vehicle; like tap the brake 3 times, turn the key off/on some magical number of times, offer up a chicken, etc.

You need to use a scan tool with the proper software to access and alter the TPMS program in the car's on-board computer. Code readers cannot do it.
On my 2008 Suburban, I went with TPMS sensors for years. Finally found some affordable ones on Amazon, bought a set, and had them installed in the rims when I bought a set of new tires. The tire shop had to use the aforementioned scan tool to make the car recognize them. Fuckers barely lasted a year. Last year, I bought a set of near-new Michelins from a friend, mounted them myself, and shitcanned all the TPMS sensors. They were all swollen and split. Bad batteries, I guess.
There used to be something called "virtual TPMS" which I think was really better.

You've heard of mushroom management : Keep 'em in the dark and feed 'em shit. Coal mines are great for the "dark" part.
One of the major dangers in raising mushrooms is contamination of the beds with non-wanted spores. There are a huge number of mushroom species in the world, but only a relative handful are not poisonous to one degree or another. The last thing a mushroom operation wants is a stray airborne spore from one of the "bad" mushrooms getting in among their crop. Coal mines are almost ridiculously easy to isolate.
I've mentioned in the past that my wife is a coal miner's (step)daughter. There is a mushroom operation about 5 miles from her parent's house in a defunct coal mine.

You would be surprised to learn that almost 69% of the US mushroom production occurs in the borough of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. It is a small town of about 6000 people, but mushroom-growing facilities around town produce almost 451 million pounds of mushrooms annually (2024).
Surprised? Not really.
The air roundabout there has a, shall we say, earthy smell to it.

Of the two magnets, employment and welfare, the first is by the far the most important and largest. Progress has been made on the latter, which is much easier and more efficient as we're talking federal programs. But the dramatic outflow we need, starting yesterday, to materially change the situation prior to who knows what January 21, 2029 ain't coming til the employment magnet is diminished or switched off.

A minor league baseball team in Pennsylvania will celebrate an unusual local cryptid this season when, for one night only, they will take to the field as the Squonk. Said to inhabit the northern forests of the state, the curious-looking critter was first detailed in the 1910 book 'Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods.' The "always unhappy" Squonk was said to sport "misfitting skin" that made it so unsightly and uncomfortable that the pig-like creature constantly wept about its unfortunate state and could "dissolve itself in tears" should it be frightened or the need to escape from capture arise.

Why yes, that is what I do. I get a "check tire monitor system" text message in the display panel, and that can be turned off by hitting the trip odometer rest button. But the amber tire alert lamp stays lit. It is easily ignorable.
I ran into the text-wall limit when referring to "virtual" TPMS. That system used the ABS wheel-speed sensors to compute a running count of wheel revolutions on a per-wheel basis. With 4 like tires, all the wheels should do an exactly equal number of revolutions over a long-enough time span (so that corners and road bends are averaged out). If one wheel consistently records more or fewer revolutions than its mates, it might be under or over inflated.

They did, until they started using whole saplings as their staff and those were three to four times taller than were they.
Point were deducted for inauthentic costuming, shall we say.
The funniest part was that they would put down "their" staff to finally help collect wood and when they'd return to get it, anguished cries of "Who has my walking stick?" predominated in the conversation.
I larfed, which doubtlessly disappointed some of them who, I expect, figured that I would sort out the ownership question.

Ignore it? No, I flip it the middle finger when I see it. lol
It started with the light. I did the whole bullshit ritual of resetting it, which on the chevy colorado was like ball surgery with a rusty soup can lid. 15 minutes later the light came back on. Ok, a sensor is probably bad, but which one? Change them all @ $75 each and then find out oh something in the computer is fucked, so sorry. Anyway, one day I was checking the air pressure, and the chucklehead before me had some shitty metal valve stem caps. One must have oxidized and fused to the threads of the stem. I went to unscrew it and the entire threaded part of the stem broke off exposing the valve core. It wasn't leaking, but i couldn't put air in it either. Soooo, get a new sensor for $75 and STILL be staring at the light on the dashboard? Fuck no, it needed tires anyway, so out they came

TPMS is a heavy-handed attempt to force habitually unobservant people to check their tires. Unfortunately, the implementation has been very bad.
You what would work? Mount four of those el-cheapo non-contact infrared temperature sensors, one at each wheel. Underinflated tires run hot, and very hot as they approach failure. You could have software that compares measured temperature of each tire and compares to what should be expected, given ambient temperature, road speed, and duration of trip. If a sensor gets obscured by mud or dirt, or suffers road damage, system could report "sensor error, XX wheel, see dealer". I would make the sensors standardized to a very few types, and as easy to replace as a light bulb.

Right, its called the old way, and it works. I can't even work on new harleys because they have become such a technological nightmare you need $1000's of dollars of scanning tools. Up until not that long ago the repair manuals all had a wiring section, basically the schematics and some trouble shooting for certain electrical goodies. Now? lolol, yeah right. Thats not even in the books anymore noooooo you need to buy an electrical manual. Its 2" thick, it's $100, will be useless when the next year's model comes out, and is all flow charts and requires computer programs and break out boxes that you need to update the adapter plugs for newer models. The shops I work out of all said fuck this.

At least it will be there to prompt me to check the pressure more often, I suppose. LOL
I go to the dealer for oil changes. (The idjit-lube places have mostly gone out of business locally. Wonder why? *not really*)
Of course, dealer always tries to push another $600-700 "service" each visit. I know they'll want to do the tires, so will get a bid from my fave tire shop before next oil change.

Hand cranks and hot-tube ignition FTW! Did you ever watch that youtube video by a guy that made hot-tube ignition for a Briggs & Stratton mower engine? He used stack of those little "anti-fouling adaptors they used to sell for spark plugs - basically an inch-long steel tube with a 14 mm male thread on one end, and a female on the other. I think he ended up stacking about six of them. The engine started on its spark plug, and once warmed up, the tube was hot enough to act as a glow plug, and fire the mixture. And the engine would run on practically any fuel.

Smart truckers used to walk around their rigs and trailers with a bat or hammer, and thump all the tires on the sidewall. A properly-inflated tire gives a slightly musical "dunk" sound, while a low tire makes more of a flat slap. Any tire that "thumps" with an odd note is worthy of closer inspection.

Shitty night at work. Two machines with ghosts in them. One machine is picking up parts and looking at them, then putting them back into the tray. It does all ten then throws a servo motor code. One has nothing to do with the other. I think it's AI has gone stupid. The other just shuts off for no reason.

Simple switch. Several wires/connectors. Tightened them all (starter wire was loose). Found one wire dangling & traced it to some accessories.. hooked it to the "key on" pole.
All good! Starter worked, everything worked, customer satisfied!
Ran into the old fellow in another store a while later-- he was so happy! Introduced me to his friend: "This here's the gal that fixed my radio!" Hahaha.

One shop I worked out of years ago had the closest thing to a clean room. It was a room where you built the engines. It was over sterile if you ask me, but the owner was a Felix Unger.

This guy was a fucking hop in the ass. One day I was working on something, and I had to walk away from the bike lift for a second. I hear him call me and says a cigarette is burning, like loud like something is on fire. I turn around and he holds up an ash tray. I said cig is in the ash tray? is it supposed to be in the ash tray?. Another time I'm doing a valve adjustment on a $35,000 custom build, and I'm counting the turns on the pushrod adjustment and he comes running over with a sharpie without a cap. He just holds it out. I said whats up. He says this has no cap, this is how they dry out, and then runs away. Uh ok, I guess I'll start from scratch with counting the turns you frigging dickhead. Then one day he asked if I would cut my hair because it might be scary to the customers. I looked at him and said is this a fucking poodle wash?? We work on harleys, have you seen the fucking riders that ride harleys??? This was all in the same week. Yeah I was out of there. the dude should have owned a pet food store, not a shop.

My guess is that you have a ground noise problem. When I was at NASA we had a computerized piece of test equipment in the lab that was throwing intermittent faults. I was watching it when I heard a refrigerator motor start up and the test machine threw a fault. Bad ground on the refrigerator injected noise into the test machine.

We planted an apple tree there some yrs ago. They apparently like to grow around elm, ash or apple trees. Living in wht would have been a savannah area along the river the spores must have been there until the right conditions caused them to pop up. First time and we've lived here 38 yrs.

I am now the recipient of the most-obscure, least-transferable credential around. Having taken the courses, passed the test and done the qualifying work, I am now a Certified Steward for American Kennel Club dog shows.*
Stewards have a little-heralded but very important job. Conformation dog shows run on a tight schedule and stewards perform the multitude of small tasks working with judges and exhibitors to keep things going. Without us, the proceedings would quickly grind to a crawl.
I've been doing it for 30 years, but the certification now puts me on a list that clubs can use when they need someone who knows what they're doing.
It's very busy work lasting all day, done for little more than a deposit in the Favor Bank, perhaps a free lunch, and being able to say "bitch" in a loud voice.
(*When you're retired, even little successes are gratifying)

Surprised the Goldens don't get brain freeze from gobbling those cones down in one bite.
We once gave our little puppy Knight a small bowl of ice cream. He took a big bite of it and immediately his eyes bulged out from the shock. He desperately tried to spit it out but it froze to the roof of his mouth.

I got a box of mini cake cups, by Joy Cone. I thought they'd be perfect for a small sized ice cream cone for myself, like the Dairy Queen kid size or something. Turns out, they're just slightly bigger than a sewing thimble, so they have become the doggie ice cream cones.
About a tablespoon of ice cream fills the cone, and they think they've really gotten something special.

Do they wear slipper-like felt shoes that have long pointed toes with a little bell sewn on the tips of them? Because it would be cool if they did.

During the 'no kings' stupidity, I did see her on MS Now. She had a split screen with Springsteen who was wailing at the time on stage.
Neither warranted full attention of the network. Hilarious.

Spam is a "dirty" Carnivore Food as it contains starch and added sugar.

I didn't think Constantius II ever set foot in Rome but... yeah. Wiki says he dropped in on the place April-May AD 357.
I did know Theodosius went to Italy. He showed up in Rome itself to perform a big masturbatory pageant in 13 June 389. By that time Italy was being run more from Milan.

FL done. TX done (I think). Since this was a LA case, is LA going to redistrict in time for this year's rodeo? NC, SC, KY remain. Presumably VA's abortion gets nixed, unless the court there renders a fact- and law-free "1+1=7" sort of ruling, which must be at least somewhat likely.
Wonder if this sudden, and late-in-cycle, redistricting might result in actually useful GOP reps, not inertial machine slop the dominates the party? Good one - just kidding.

Being told who to hate is easier than thinking for themselves. It is a form of comforting, being folded into an ideological cocoon, where nothing can contradict the beliefs that were handed down from people who have better credentials that poor schlubs who just have the uninterpreted world to go by
Truth asks something of you, and comfort asks nothing.

For U.S. county boundaries, the most reliable source is the U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line files.
U.S. Census Bureau: Download the "Counties (and equivalent)" shapefiles. These are public domain and updated annually.
Natural Earth: Best for global datasets. They provide "Admin 2 – Counties" files for various countries at different scales (1:10m, 1:50m, 1:110m).
GADM (Database of Global Administrative Areas): High-detail boundaries for almost every country, available in various formats including Shapefile.
I'll post how to use it separately.

Solution how to steps (1)
To get county boundary shapefiles into the MATLAB Mapping Toolbox, you generally need files in the ESRI Shapefile (.shp) format. MATLAB provides a few built-in ways to access this data, but for custom or high-resolution requirements, you'll likely want to source them from official geographic databases.

Solution steps (2)
Once you have the .shp file (and its associated .shx and .dbf files in the same folder), you can use the following functions:
Using shaperead
This is the standard command for the Mapping Toolbox. It returns a structure array containing the geometry and attributes (like County Name or FIPS code).

Solution steps (3)
This is MatLab code that uses the mapp___ tool box...
% Read the shapefile
S = shaperead('tl_2025_us_county.shp', 'UseGeoCoords', true);
% View the first entry to see attribute fields
disp(S(1));

Solution steps (3)
After loading the data, you can project it onto a map axes.
More code...
% Create a map axes for the area of interest
figure;
ax = usamap('Alabama'); % Automatically sets limits and projection
setm(ax, 'MapProjection', 'lambert'); % Often used for regional US maps
% Plot the boundaries
geoshow(alabamaCounties, 'FaceColor', [0.8 0.9 1], 'EdgeColor', 'black');
% Add labels using a field from the shapefile
labelData = alabamaCounties.NAME;
% (Additional logic required to find centroids for text placement)

You have to ask for cites and if you are very specific with how you want your agents built it comes back far less woke. There have been a few hallucinations, but those seem to be far less common than even 6 months ago. In terms of facts on geography of the US, limited to names, you most likely won’t get jaded data. And listen, I am no techie and I have managed through simple agents. I can’t imagine what could be done with someone who actually knew what they were doing!

Klondike bars were created by the Isley's company, who had stores all over W. PA and eastern Ohio. It was a real treat when I got a Klondike bar.
They sold off the rights to the bar and name years ago, so they're available across the country.

FCC Demands Eight ABC Stations Re-Apply for Certification Early, Citing the Stations' Brazen Racial Discrimination Based on Illegal "DEI" Criteria
Plus: Comey May Be Forced to Give Up Profits on His Stupid Book?
Bad news for the Disney Groomer Network.
Tim O'Brien:[T]he Federal Communications Commission (FCC)... announced on April 28 that it is moving up its review of the ABC network's eight local broadcasting licenses over the network's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. On March 27, 2025, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr initially sent a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger notifying him that the FCC was investigating the company (Disney and ABC) to determine if it was in violation of the FCC's own equal employment opportunity regulations. Common sense will tell you that when you replace "equal" with "equity" you will have problems, and that's what they're looking at. Keep in mind that this was months before the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September and the Jimmy Kimmel drama that followed. Now, just recently, David J. Brown, the chief of the video division at the Federal Communications Commission's media bureau, sent a notification memo to The Walt Disney Company that said: "Specifically, FCC rules provide that whenever the FCC regards an application for a renewal of a license as essential to the proper conduct of an investigation, the FCC has the authority to call the broadcaster's licenses in for early renewal. Doing so both allows the FCC to conduct its ongoing investigation and enables the FCC to ensure that the broadcaster has been meeting its public interest obligations more broadly...The FCC determines that calling in Disney's ABC licenses for early renewal, at this time, under the Communications Act's public interest standard is essential within the meaning of agency regulations." The ABC stations in question were on the schedule for license renewal in the 2028-2031 window. The FCC's decision now requires the ABC stations to file for renewal by May 28 of this year. It's important to understand that the Federal Communications Commission doesn't regulate networks directly; their content is carried by third-party local broadcasters that use the public airwaves, which the FCC does regulate. American Broadcasting Company owns eight local television stations that are within the FCC's jurisdiction: WABC-TV New York, KABC-TV Los Angeles, WLS-TV Chicago, WPVI-TV Philadelphia, KTRK-TV Houston, KGO-TV San Francisco, WTVD-TV Raleigh-Durham, and KFSN-TV Fresno.Those are among ABC's biggest stations. Only two -- Raleigh-Durham and Fresno -- are second-tier. On to James Comey. James Comey posted his "8647" threat to boost sales of his piece-of-shit homo book. But that means he profited from a crime, and may be forced to disgorge those profits. Though, to be honest, I can't imagine she made much money off this "book."
Paul SperryViva Frei explains that the case against Comey isn't just about the "8647" tweet-- he posted a series of tweets to promote his gay book, which spoke of... encouraging people to kill political enemies.
@paulsperry_ BREAKING: DOJ sources tell me prosecutors are pursuing a "forfeiture action" in relation to James Comey's alleged felonies because they believe Comey posted the "86" Trump threat to also help drum up sales of a forthcoming book. Comey posted the image five (5) days before the May 20, 2025, release of his new crime novel. Controversy over the posting thrust Comey back into the headlines and drew potential book buyers to his Instagram and X accounts where he heavily promoted the book. According to the Comey indictment, "Upon conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the United States any property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the said offense."
ConversationHe quibbles about whether the indictment should contain all of this evidence. I don't think it does. An indictment is not a presentation of evidence. That's what a trial is. An indictment is just a listing of charges that a grand jury has said there is evidence enough to support a conviction thereupon.
Viva Frei
@thevivafrei Too many people are either ignorant of the facts, or being obtuse as relates to Comey's "8647" (in shells!) Instagram post. It was not a simple "one-off" post. Faulty premise and factually incorrect. So everyone comparing it to Jack Posobiec's 2022 tweet of "8646" is not comparing comparables. Also, not an irrelevant factor - Jack is not the former Director of the FBI! Posobiec's tweet was stupid. And I would expect to be investigated and possibly charged if I were to ever post anything so stupid. That says, now back to it not being a "one-off" possibly ambiguous tweet: People are either unaware of, or ignoring the context of Comey's Instagram post. It was not a "one-off". It was actually the second in a series of three posts, all of which were connected, self-referential, and clearly deliberately so. Post 1: Comey at the beach, reading his new book, FDR Drive (image attached). Post 2: 8647 in shells. Post 3: The summary of his new book which he is reading in Post 1. That summary: "Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the first amendment when *he singled out his enemies by name* and *suggested "something should be done" about them*. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously, injuring some of his foes." Comey is telling you exactly what he is doing. Reading his book. Singling out his enemies by name (as close as he can get) - 47 for Trump. Suggesting "something should be done about them" - 86 for kill or eliminate. And "his fans have obliged" from his book description that he posted. All of the elements are there to eliminate any ambiguity as to what common meant - sandwiching his 8647 in shells in between a picture of him reading his book, and a summary of his book - which has to do with calling out enemies by name, suggesting something should be done to them, and his fans obliging.
LOL -- J6 defense attorneys had similar complaints, mostly early in the 3 year period following the riot when DOJ aggressively sought to detain defendants.

The checks & balances that prevent this were dismantled as the current regime replaced long-standing employees with loyalists. As it happened in the Weimar the people are split into thirds. 1/3 cares so much. 1/3 is morally corrupt. 1/3 don't care. That's a 2/3 majority against progress.
I'm not normally one to root for large corps, but I really wish Disney would unleash their army of lawyers in thus one particular case.
Trump's style is pretty much corporations-as-government. And Disney will be one of those corporations with pseudo-governmental powers. I don't think they're terribly upset about this. Casting off the last advocates for market regulation, root out the old order kind of thing.
The point isn’t to get them removed from the air. The point is to make it expensive and inconvenient for them to keep Kimmel. They basically just want Kimmel off of the air. And if they don’t remove Kimmel, then it’s just punishment for offending dear leader.

Also, when, exactly, was it funny when someone says, "Hey, you look like you can't wait for your spouse to be horrifically killed." At what angle can one take Kimmel's "joke" and say, "Aha! I get it. Now that's humor."?
Kimmel wants Trump dead. It would make him happy. Not out of power. Dead. Clear as day and has been for months. Kimmel's not excusing his way out of this. Oh, Disney will still protect him because, well, it's Disney and we know what it has become. But the intentions and sentiment are pretty damn easy tea leaves to read.

That's a pretty accurate summary. I liked listening to Barnes and Branca long ago, but quickly realized Barnes' opinions weren't grounded in reality. I think he believes what he says, so I wouldn't call him a grifter...he's just a little too full of himself.
Branca seems much more sound on legal advice and analysis, and a little more realistic on how things will actually pan out in court.

Speaking to a legislative committee on Tuesday, Jay Swanson said he was hired by DHS in 2014 to lead a unit charged with investigating fraud in the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). Swanson previously served as a Minnesota state trooper for over 30 years.
In his testimony, Swanson talked about some of the things he saw when he was with DHS. For example, Swanson said his unit once got a call from a mother who complained that she was not getting an agreed-upon kickback from the owner of a child care center.
Recalling another incident, Swanson said his unit got a call from a former owner of a child care center who said he had been “cheated out of his share of the fraud proceeds.”
The former state trooper also told the committee that a fire department called to say they had repeatedly tried to conduct a fire safety inspection at one child care center, but nobody was there. Swanson said that center received roughly $1 million in the 12 months prior.
“I wish I could tell you that these types of incidents were rare, but they weren’t,” Swanson said. “This is what our team dealt with on a weekly basis.”

OC spray is interesting. It can be really effective, but some people just shrug it off, and if you haven't been sprayed before, you might panic or freeze as you'll get hit with some of the spray, too, typically.
I've actually been pretty impressed with these cable whip baton things. They seem to cause IMMENSE pain, but are much less likely to cause serious injury than a collapsible baton or similar.
These guys test weapons on each other and have pretty high pain tolerance, and even light strikes crippled them.

The provincial government of B.C., has really screwed themselves over this DRIPA law they passed several years ago which forces them to consult with First Nations over any law which affects them (which means basically everything).
This was a UN resolution years ago that set out this idea of including indigenous people which only a few western countries voted against; U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Australia, for obvioys reasons.
Anyhow B.C., decided to put it into law there, the only jurisdiction in the world to do so. Now, along with some recent judicial rulings over property ownership going to First Nations tribes, B.C. is effectively being co-governed with a First Nations Leadership Council.
The recently elected premier, Ebby, tried to change the law to gut some of its provisions, but the First Nations had a meeting with him and basically strong-armed him into giving up the fight.
So just remember; as bad as it is, at least we aren’t Canada.

The Rheinmetall 120mm guns on the Abrams are license-built in upstate New Yawk.
If the sausageside Eurotrash get snippy about cancelling the licensing, it's not as if they can realistically do anything about it. Besides, we could always buy the Israeli 120mm they use on the Merkava. It's ballistically virtually identical, it's just more compact in the turret, having a mount and recoil system that's about the same size as the original Limey L7 105mm gun that the first Abrams were designed around.

here is how the scam works - betray the Republicans, especially Trump, and you get either a speaking tour or a book deal, likely both. The speaking tour will be a tour of 4-star restaurants and resorts, with you giving a 30-minute canned speech each night and getting paid $100k a pop. Oh no! The speaking tour didn't make the massive amount of money the promoters expected! So sad!
The book deal - you are given, up front, and advance, say $5 million, against royalties. You hire a ghostwriter for $30k and pocket the rest. NONE of these books EVER makes a profit. No worries, an outside "investor" likely paid the publishing company the advance. Oh no! The book didn't make the massive amount of money the investors expected! So sad!
It's the same bullshit both Bush and Hunter Biden did with their "art". Just a way to pay off public officials in retirement.

So WHY do publishing companies offer turds like Comey $2 million advance against royalties? What that means is Comey gets $2 million, now, today, and the publishers gets maybe $30k per year .... petering off over time. That $30 k is counted against the royalty advance, i.e. the publishers is slowly paid back for the advance, likely over decades. But it doesn't even pay the interest on $2 million up front.
But if an outside investor fronted the $2 million...and they split the royalties with the publisher...? The publisher gets a tidy $15k in pure profit every year. Just for printing the book.

And how'd he do it? Basically, by being soft on crime - crime that was mostly black on white. That caused a rapid acceleration of white flight that began after the 1960s riots.
The city lost jobs, earnings taxes, corporate taxes, retail dollars, sales taxes, mortgages, interest, property taxes, development dollars, investment dollars, and tourism dollars. The money was carried out in the pockets of the businesses and the people who fled as fast as they could.
less population = less money = less services = less policing = more population decline. Classic death spiral.

The Family of Democrat Thugs Who Assaulted Savanah Hernandez Have All be Indicted by a Federal Grand Jury
Acting AG Todd BlancheThe whole family -- the thug 250 pound father who brutally knocked the 110 pound girl in the back, the psychopathic daughter who repeated assaulted her by blowing a very loud whistle directly into her ear (yes that's assault, and the attack can have serious long-term consequences), and the mother too.
@DAGToddBlanche Today, Christopher, Deyanna, and Paige Ostrouchko were indicted by a grand jury for allegedly assaulting journalist and Turning Point USA contributor Savannah Hernandez, while she was lawfully reporting on anti-ICE protests outside a federal building in St. Paul. Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground -- simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT "peaceful protest." These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence.
🚨HUGE UPDATE: Turns out that Chris, Paige and Deyanna Ostroushko will ALL be facing federal charges for assaulting me.

A few years back, left-wing media began popularizing the phrase "stochastic terrorism," so they could blame mainstream conservative rhetoric for random violent acts. When a white supremacist goes on a shooting spree, legacy media demand that every Republican official in the country take ownership and denounce the act as if their rhetoric led to the violence. Yet, when a left-winger such as Cole Allen allegedly tries to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, leaving a manifesto that's virtually indistinguishable from the rhetoric used by the average liberal podcaster or politician, the same people act as if the two things are completely unrelated. There's not a hint of self-reflection. Politics, of course, has always been hyperbolic. Both Democrats and Republicans say terrible things about opposition presidents. But there's probably never been anything approaching the unhinged hysteria aimed at Trump. For years, it was broadly accepted by the Left that Trump was an asset of a foreign adversary. And when the president wasn't operating "concentration camps" or stealing votes from minority groups, he was instituting fascism. And this wasn't the usual vague pejorative synonym for "conservativism." "Yes, it's okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don't let me stop you," one Washington Post op-ed argued. Though to be fair, another Washington Post op-ed disagreed: "Don't compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. It belittles Hitler." Trump is now regularly accused of being a rapist and pedophile and a puppet of the Jews who are plunging us into endless war for personal gain. "And," wrote Allen, who'd been marinating in this panic for about a decade, "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes." There have now been three major attempts to murder the Republican president. Not long ago, Charlie Kirk, one of the most popular conservative voices in the nation, was assassinated. Before that, Brian Thompson, the CEO of the largest insurance company in the country, was murdered on the street. Before that, a leftist showed up with a Glock, zip ties, and duct tape to assassinate a Supreme Court justice. Before that, a Bernie Sanders fan attempted to eliminate the entire Republican House leadership on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia. That's not even to mention the "free Palestine" activists who show up at protests with firebombs or murder Israeli Embassy workers on the streets of Washington. Or the fire-bombings of Tesla dealerships. Or the antifa fire-bombings and attacks on police stations and Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Or the attacks on pregnancy centers after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. Or the Black Lives Matter riots, the most destructive in American history. When a would-be terrorist shows up at the Capitol with Molotov cocktails to kill Republican officials, we barely even talk about it. That's a pattern. That's a big problem. Marxist violence has always been with us. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a communist in Dallas. The only other president assassinated in the 20th century, William McKinley, was killed by the bullets of radical leftist Leon Czolgosz. A slew of communist and anarchist terrorist bombings culminated in the deaths of 30 people on Wall Street in 1920. Most cultural depictions of the '60s and '70s offer us genteel, peace-loving hippies. The reality was an unprecedented rise in left-wing terrorism, led by groups such as the Weather Underground, which were setting off bombs at the Capitol, police stations, the Pentagon, and the offices of attorneys general. In an 18-month span between 1971 and 1972, there were 2,500 bombings in the United States by leftist groups. It seems to me that things could easily go back in that direction, or worse, because the contemporary Left is increasingly and openly comfortable with violence.

They were Ted Lieu's, they were Brandon Johnson's, they were CNN's, they were The View, they were MS NOW." "I think this is a helpful assassination attempt because it is the first one that shows you can be radicalized by liberal smugness." "He wasn't a crank. He was not deranged. Don't buy into that narrative ... He was just following orders." Greg nails it
Same Old, Same Old: Target Trump At the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Donald Trump was the target of yet a third assassination attempt--this time in full view of the Washington press corps. The event was presented as a spirited night with Trump. After 11 years of avoiding the predominantly left-wing media event, he decided to revisit the dinner. He anticipated that he would be the object of ridicule inside the hall--and that he might see possible violence outside it. Indeed, protesters ringed the hotel. In grimly prescient fashion, the usual sort of crowd that night was channeling John Wilkes Booth--sic semper tyrannis--with placards reading "Death to Tyrants." They again almost got their wish. All three of the would-be Trump shooters--along with Charlie Kirk's murderer--fit the predictable profile of arrested-development, deranged leftists. They apparently sought to reify the popular Democrat hatred of Trump and his supporters, thereby imagining themselves entering the pantheon of revolutionary heroes. So too, not long ago, did the would-be killer of Trump, Austin Tucker Martin, storm Mar-a-Lago in search of the absent president. This time, the latest assassin, Cole Tomas Allen, left a manifesto repeating the old saw of Trump as "Hitler" and sought to kill the president and his cabinet members. Indeed, his incoherent screed read like a Petri dish of all the supposed sins of Trump, drawing on left-wing conspiracies about Russian collusion, lawfare myths, and the Epstein files. Allen's attempt was another fantasy of mass murdering, not unlike that of former Bernie Sanders campaign aide James T. Hodgkinson. He tried to take out Republican congressional leaders--wounding four, including House Republican Majority Whip Steve Scalise--in a baseball game in Washington. Other than the fact that the shooter nearly reached the doors to the auditorium, the Secret Service performed brilliantly--despite the Democratic effort to shut down the Department of Homeland Security. Apparently, the Left's mindset is that the security of elected officials--Trump especially--and of American citizens is not nearly as important as ensuring that foreign nationals who entered the country illegally are not legally returned to their countries of origin. Assassins are motivated by all sorts of impulses, but certainly they do not act in a void. From the trickle-down world of social media, the internet, and street theater, would-be killers absorb elite signals. This messaging becomes especially baleful when celebrities, governors, senators, and politicos amplify the claim that Trump is a fascist, a Nazi, a monster who is destroying the country and who must be stopped "by any means necessary." Late-night comedians joke about past assassinations or assassination attempts; others have even claimed that Trump staged his first assassination attempt--and this one too! So deep runs their hatred. For over a decade, the Left has escalated its rhetoric of violence against Trump. Each politico, actor, celebrity, or billionaire seems to vie with the next in imagining new ways to kill or assault him. Had that sort of rhetoric been directed at Obama or Biden, it would likely have put many of them in jail. ... ... The hardcore left-wing establishment believes this sort of Hitler/Trump rhetoric, combined with the normalization of street violence, generates ever more protests, fuels anti-ICE fury, unites Congressional Democrats, and--most importantly--drives down Trump poll numbers. In their view, it is a lot more effective than merely outlining an alternative agenda. So expect far more, not less, of this left-wing violent madness to come.See, what they're not realizing is that yes, they are making political violence acceptable on the left, but they're also making it acceptable among the right. I hope they're ready for the fire they've set.
This is what incitement of violence sounds like. These are not insults or ridicule. These are incitements of violence.

They have another daughter, Desiree, that has disavowed what her mother, father, and sister has done and has stated so publicly. In part what she has stated:
“I’m his second daughter and I’ve experienced firsthand how he’s publicly and personally put me down simply because I don’t align with their beliefs. That’s a big part of why l’ve chosen to distance myself from them. Watching situations like this unfold only reinforces that decision.
This behavior is not something I stand for it’s honestly disappointing and disturbing.”

During the one earring deal I kept getting confused about gay or not gay. However, a few boys in our son's HS were getting a pierced ear. I told them at dinner one night I'd do it for free, no anesthesia, and to be prepared for any of their uncles to rip them out that summer.
They never asked about that fad or tattoos. Or wore yellow pants.

Everyone is calling this the third assassination attempt, first being Butler and second being the guy in the bushes at Mar-a-Lago, right?
I seem to recall an incident of a punk rushing toward the stage when Trump was at the podium, at some college perhaps, but anyway I'm pretty sure was outdoors. Can't remember if the guy was armed, but I remember Trump just staring him down, unflinchingly. Does that count as an attempt?

I just read the Algore Global Cooling thread. ROFL.
Some of you mentioned the sun turning into a red giant. That will happen in about 5 billion years. But a lot of stuff will get us well before then. Well before. Complex life on earth probably has no more than about 1 billion years left. The sun's luminosity is steadily increasing at about 6 - 10% per billion years. In a billion years, it will be too hot, and the oceans will start evaporating away.
But other stuff will still happen well before then. On the roughly 500K - 1 million year range, a 1km+ asteroid will be almost certain to have hit, along with one of those huge supervolcano explosions.

The guy was probably in his mid-20s, college age, built pretty well.
He charged in (unarmed) like a linebacker trying to get on the stage to get Trump.
When Trump saw him coming he left the podium and squared up on the guy like Don was going to block him into next week.

Another one that caught my eye. In a mere 1.2 million years, a star, Gliese 710, will come within a mere 10,000 AU of the sun, and a tiny chance it get within 1000 au. Well inside the Oort Cloud in all cases. In galactic scale terms, this is stellar sideswipe.
That will send a deluge of debris into the inner solar system, likely causing all sorts of impact events.
They've know that star would make a close approach for a while, but the recent high precision Gaia survey, mapping the positions and velocities of stars in our neighborhood to much great precisions, showed just how close it will get.

Dude, no, you misunderstand, that bit is fuckin' hilarious against the wokies, you have the language and tone absolutely right. They are all on Target the Enemy as a traitor, a degenerate, a monster for the Agent Smith to kill, and anyone can be agent Smith, just like Harsanyi said above.
Who cares the designated enemy actually thinks, they never listen to the arguments, the Wokies don't care about that, they just know This Is Someone I Am Allowed To Hate(tm)
Your take is ball bustingly hilarious, Boss, take it to them, shame the Wokie point of view by using their exact terms.
You are rimming it perfectly.

The GOP was playing the long game, for decades, to arrive at complete and total control of SCOTUS. And this is the fruit of their labor. Republicans have a hard time convincing certain people to vote for them. So life would be a lot easier if those people just weren't allowed to vote.
"If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy." - David Frum, Conservative.
Remember everyone who told us we were being *hysterical* about what would happen in the Supreme Court if Trump won in 2016?
If the Democrats get control of the house and senate and don't make MASSIVE changes to limit the abuse of power from all 3 branches of government then this country is doomed.
Cue red state emergency redistricting to sneak back in Jim Crow-inspired gerrymanders.

I've seen it on line. Some think "unintended consequences" is a "rightwing talking point".
Just the idea that you might not always get what you wanted out of a change. They've heard that a lot of "right wingers", so they reflexively thing "that's something Righties say", and it becomes "talking point" just like that.

The family literally assaulted someone, on camera. Their expectation was it would be no biggie. Likely because they and everyone around them have done it many times before, without consequence. Likely they have assaulted dozens of people and gotten away with it. To a point where they don't even consider it assault - just free speech, or the natural consequence of disagreeing with them. Like the broken windows concept, this attitude spreads - shove someone one day, punch them the next, shoot them the next, etc.

I had a juvenile delinquent friend growing up. Always breaking the law, B&Es, stealing. Always his widowed mother trying to bail him out of things. He was on probation every day I knew him.
I saw the behavior. "How dare the rules of my probation tell ME what to do!" He got himself in trouble before he was on probation, but the defiance of the system, was how he "got the system back".
He was entitled, and when the system pushed back, the system needed to be shown who's boss. He never associated the consequence of his action with his prior action. He only saw it as almost as something done to him.
So, I saw this personality type early on. Never dreamed variations of it would become so dominant in society.

The four major tools used at the squad level in the Russo-Ukrainian War appear to be rifles, off-road motorbikes, drones, and ECM/ECCM (jamming). Many here already have and use the first, but for those with the means and inclination, I think all four would be good things to acquire and learn.

That is the mark of someone who scores high on the psychopathy chart. Probably has no real conscience. That is a hard-wired condition, and while some people who want to can overcome it by faking real empathy, they don't ever actually have any, so they don't feel any sense of shame. There is no leverage whatsoever to be able to teach them how to behave like a civilized individual.
As far as they are concerned, people are just plain mean to them, while they are just taking care of themselves.

You are absolutely right — "Zurowski" and "Ostrouschko" are not remotely similar names. My initial response was incorrect, and I apologize for the error.
Based on the search results, Desiree Ostrouschko is a member of the Ostroushko family from Minnesota, who publicly denounced her family's involvement in the assault on conservative journalist Savanah Hernandez during an anti-ICE protest in April 2026. She stated on Facebook that she does not align with her family’s actions, emphasizing that “violence is never acceptable” and that she has been estranged from them for years due to ideological differences.
The confusion with "Desiree Zurowski" was a mistake — they are two entirely different individuals.
Are he search engines actively suppressing Desire O. because she is not of the body?

Paige Ostroushko has contended that the incident was ignited when Hernandez laughed about sexual assaults occurring in ICE detention centers. The incident left her with head, neck and knee injuries, she said.
“This led to emotional distress and a confrontation,” Ostroushko wrote on a fundraising page she started on her behalf. “The situation escalated, and at one point, I experienced physical contact and believed I was being assaulted, including being struck several times. In response, I acted in what I believed was self-defense in the moment.”

Lunatic Leftwing Fascists Melt Down as Florida's Assembly Speedruns the New Congressional Map Through Both Houses
Florida lawmakers have approved a new Congressional map that could position Republicans to win four additional U.S. House seats in the midterm elections in November. The 21 to 17 vote for final passage in the Senate came just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act in a decision on a Louisiana congressional district Wednesday morning. Both developments will assist President Trump's national push to help the GOP in the midterm elections. With the Florida redistricting, the GOP likely gains an advantage of two or three new seats as Republican-led states have followed Trump's call and Democratic-led states have countered it. However, control of the House will depend on the votes in November. Democrats have said the redraw in Florida makes several GOP seats more competitive, potentially leading to smaller seat gains if strong Democratic performances seen in recent special elections continue. The bill now goes for expected signing by Gov. Ron DeSantis. He has argued that the state's rapid population growth requires redistricting. And he's urged the redrawing of districts that were drawn with consideration for preserving the voting power of minority communities.
🚨 JUST IN: The Florida House has OVERWHELMINGLY PASSED Governor Ron DeSantis’ new Congressional maps, which would add up to 4 new Republican US House seats, 83-28

So when she sings its praises, take it with a grain of salt. pic.twitter.com/aQkHQ20k0y

I love how cucky institutionalists still think that these monsters care about the "stain" that their integrity will suffer. But some states are scrambling to redistrict:
Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew So Justice Kagan is reported in Molly Hemingway's new book on Justice Alito as having urged liberal members of the Court to slow-walk their dissents in the Dobbs case for months after Justice Alito had finished his majority decision, presumably with the "hope" that the composition of the Court would change and the 5-4 outcome striking down Roe would turn into a 4-4 deadlock that left the lower court's decision in place - affirming Roe. NOW, it is clear that it was Justice Kagan -- and not Justices Jackson and Sotomayor -- who has held up her dissent in the Louisiana redistricting case, as she has written the only dissent -- with the whispered-about motivation being to push the decision back far enough into the calendar back such that some states don't have time to engage in redistricting before the Nov. elections -- redistricting that might eliminate minority-majority districts and cost Democrats seats. If both these two anecdotal accounts about Kagan gain traction, it will forever stain her legacy on SCOTUS.
🚨 NOW: US Sen. Marsha Blackburn has PROPOSED a 9R-0D redistricting map for Tennessee to redraw, thanks to the Supreme Court ruling against racial gerrymandering under the VRA

Assuming VA passes and the FL map was going through, Republicans were going to end up +3 on the gerrymandering wars before the Gingles overturn.
TN, LA, AL, and MS all redistricting too? Should be about GOP+6 or so in addition to the 3 already banked.

That is the ruling that says one man, one vote applies to state districting, so instead of a geographic districting (like there is on federal level,) there is all this district bull. It should be based on county, for example. So each county gets one state rep, each group of counties one federal rep.

I've said it before: the DeSantis-Gillum 2018 FL race was the most consequential state election in US history. It may be top 5 in all US history. Can you imagine if DeSantis didn't open FL during COVID? or not send illegals up to Martha's Vineyard? Other govs did it first, but DeSantis did it best. We'd be a different country without him.

It's not quite that simple. IANAL, but one of the lovely things about these newfangled AI summaries is how easy it makes it look up how laws work. When that Texan reporter was assaulted at the Minnesota protest outside an ICE facility, I looked it up to check if residents of different states would get the Feds involved, and found my guess was wrong.
The most solid source of Federal jurisdiction is a conspiracy against civil rights, since the family worked together in violence against her 1A rights. The next was *if* the Federal property line extended out past where she was assaulted, then that would be another predicate. There was no third.

I will freely admit to looking down at that 2024 caucus ballot and debating between the two. Ultimately I went with Trump, because he was still hammering the immigration issue, and Iowa was getting flooded by illegals thanks to Auto-Pen. My precinct wound up going (literally checks notes) Trump 56, DeSantis 91.

It looks like not only did she allegedly leak the abortion decision, but she delayed turning in her opinion so as to give leftwing assassins as long a runway as possible to get the job done and off one of the rightwing justices. That would have made it 4-4 and Roe would have stood.
She knew they were besieged with threats and required extra protection for both them and their families, but she delayed anyway.

Los Angeles has rejected an entrepreneur’s cheap and simple fix to stop the city’s crippling copper wire theft crisis.
End Metal Theft spokesman Mark James revealed to the California Post it had created a hardened cover that secures streetlights and would stop neighborhoods being plunged into darkness.
The device, which fastens over the lid to the wires, would make it harder, louder and far riskier for criminals to try to gain access.
They would cost about $300 to install, are easily maintained and would save the tens of thousands of dollars it costs to repair vandalized streetlamps.
But James revealed City Hall chiefs shot it down, instead wanting to focus on converting to solar lamps that will cost up to $6,000 each.

Trump's win in 2024, if it was 20+ years ago, would have been a wave that swept Republicans to at least a 20 seat majority in the House.
Maybe 40.
That's how razor thin precise Dems have gerrymandered their states--they held Rs to a small majority in a wave.
But they have almost no seats they can flip now either--they need a wave to flip the red seats in their states since they've packed so many R voters in them.

Not illegal nor even the much lower standard of ethics. Basically the official machine takes longer but the indictment exists once the true bill is voted upon by the grand jury and that true bill's existence is NOT a violation of grand jury secrecy.

Already is, Inspector General of Fed in involved and for Powell, it means he has to testify as long as he stays in the Fed (no fifth amendment right) to the IG's investigation. I think they did this just so Powell will leave the Board of Governors promptly to avoid questioning.
It happened several times in Trump I administration once the DoJ and FBI became subjects of the IG investigation for that department. People resigned or retired to avoid testilying.
IG can also give criminal referrals which sticks up the ass of someone like Boasberg as much more obvious to try to stymie indictments based on an OIG investigation.

Could this be the new inititive for illegals? Put them in CECOT for awhile and blast them to Mars to form their own colony?

I am simply thankful I remembered seeing this somewhere vs dreaming:

Granted we know they will become cannibals up there and mutate but I think it's a win win. Add a few Haitians and Somolians to the mix and see who wins (there won't be cats on Mars).
He says it's early because his first rocket exploded...but I think we have enough illegals to rush it, Elon.
Then send a handful once the rocket is a success then many in cargo rockets.
These are the illegals who refuse to go to their homeland and when CECOT is full. Or send some El Salvadorians as well to help them. Either/or.

As I said above, an active OIG investigation is targeting the cost overruns. OIG can make Powell testify if he does not leave the board regardless of the 5th Amendment. If he leaves, then they no longer have power to compel testimony.
I think this was the backup when Powell did not resign and Boasberg stuck his oar in. And the OIG after the conclusion of its investigation can still give criminal referrals for prosecution to the DoJ.

Al Gore: All of My Predictions from An Inconvenient Truth About Greenland and the Arctic Completely Losing Their Ice Were "Proven Dead Right;" and BTW, Now I'm Warning About a Coming Ice Age (Which Will Also Not Happen)
And he's got a new grift: Global Freezing. A lot of these rich nepo babies like Al Gore and Tuq'r Qarlson aren't nearly as rich as I'd assumed. They're still shilling and huckstering into their elder years.This idiot cuck again. I hate this guy. He's a dweeb so he plays "smart" characters -- by which I mean another dweeb, Aaron Sorkin, uses him as his puppet to ventriloquize his own personal stupid dweeb political propaganda -- and so he believes he's smart in real life. Pretty sure Hugh Jackman doesn't think he's actually Wolverine in real life.
Former Vice President Al Gore is still making climate doom predictions, 20 years after his warnings from An Inconvenient Truth proved false -- this time invoking the science fiction film The Day After Tomorrow for a rapt Hollywood audience. Gore joined the first-ever Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event Thursday, organized by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, for a keynote conversation with The West Wing star Bradley Whitford.
The pair reminisced about the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, conspicuously omitting its failed prophecy that Earth's ecosystems would reach a "tipping point" of no return, thanks to human industrial activity, in only ten years. That deadline that came and went a full decade ago. ...So note it is this actor dweeb who spent his grade school years getting stuffed inside lockers who advanced the ice age prediction-- but Al Gore then endorses it, while avoiding making a prediction about when this will come to pass. Like all Doomsayers, his previous specific predictions have been proven dead wrong, so now he wants to keep things vague.
In response to this doomsday warning, Whitford sets a more drastic timeline -- that if Gore's energy policies are not enacted, "we're in an ice age in, like, 10 years." However, Gore punts the prophecy's deadline much farther into the future, dodging any chance of accountability.
... WHITFORD: And if there is a tipping point here where the gradual threat of climate change becomes immediate, where -- if that happens and the Gulf Stream ceases to exist as we know it, we're in an ice age in, like, 10 years. GORE: No, no, no. It would take longer -- it, I mean, I'm not the expert- WHITFORD: [Crosstalk] I wear makeup, Al. GORE: But I've spent a lot of time with them. But it would be bad. It would be very bad and would be bad on a scale that is beyond our, anything we can compare it to today.
The ultimate authority on all questions involving life on earth, Al Gore, is now declaring that global warming is out, and global freezing is in. Safe bet that he found a whole new angle to line his pockets off the climate grift. pic.twitter.com/oQ5CtY9laS

I love the scene in the library where the cold air chases them down the hallway, complete with horror film chasing cam. They close the door just in time, and the door edges freeze blue. Then a homeless guy teaches them how to insulate their clothes using crumpled paper.
I also love the part where they carefully consider which books they can use to burn for warmth, and they decide on tax law books. Then some Karen scolds them for not knowing the importance of books, that they have to treasure knowledge, and they have to feast upon the word of tax law.
So stupid.

Use of that phrase is a 100% absolute guarantee the speaker knows nothing of science.

2) it requires ignoring both feedback and counter mechanisms in the climate.

What if they just get off on fooling suckers out of money? I was corrected by commenters here for my inference that aging rockers must not be as rich as I thought, since they're still doing the grueling work of stadium and arena tours. They pointed out that e.g. Paul McCartney said if people stopped buying tickets he would busk, since making music for people is just what he loves. That I can understand, but soulless snakes are harder to get in the head of; so, it's hard to imagine, but maybe they're just love tricking people too much to ever stop, and cold hard cash is the firmest proof the scam worked.

Yes, it "pissed me off' if you take it at face value and as propaganda -- but I tried watching it just as I would watch Godzilla, or Zardoz - OKl this would never actually happen, so let's just view i9t as a ridiculous funny fantasy. The scene where the "coldness" chases the hero through the New York Public Library, as if "coldness' was a tactile physical entity with defined boundaries and consciousness, was hilarious.

It’s hard not to be depressed about this. We’re in the middle of the sixth great extinction and there’s no realistic way to undo that. I hope whatever comes after humans can do better.
my father is an illiterate alcoholic republican and my mom threw An Inconvenient Truth on one day just for fun and he ate that up and believed every word.
felt like a win
idk if I can get that excited about hitting this 2050 net zero target, and then getting to a reduction of 50% of manmade carbons by 50% by 2075. Like, I'll be 81 years old by then...We still need to spend trillions of dollars on revolutionizing the grid. lots more work ahead to get to a place where things start improving temperature wise.
The planet will be fine until the sun expands in its red giant phase, but humanity and the rest of the biosphere will not be.

It Trump has deported 2M illegals, and my math of 10% of them work in the formal economy, a nominal loss of 200K jobs would actually be a static and indicate neither gains nor losses in employment.
Obviously if my estimate on how many work is wrong the difference would be greater - if all of them work as the left claims a 2M job loss would be expected...

Climate Scientists were dooming about the "Next Ice Age" and at some point they started measuring temperatures, and found no developing ice age. No general decline in temperature.
So you might be able to guess the next bit: WE'RE ARTIFICALLY KEEPING THE PLANET WARM!!
Now, we might just skip past "cataclysmic Gore-bull warming", and just rejoin the "Next Ice Age", already in progress.

I did a crtl-F on the SCOTUS ruling comments. No mention of Reynolds v. Simms.
That is the big kahuna. That is the ruling that says one man, one vote applies to state districting, so instead of a geographic districting (like there is on federal level,) there is all this district bull. It should be based on county, for example. So each county gets one state rep, each group of counties one federal rep.
OMOV gives power to the cities, encourages migration, concentrates power to facilitate fraud, and leaves rural ares floundering. It is what has caused all our problems (that and the 17th. and 19th. and commies. and muzzies. "amongst our weaponry..." hold on, I'll come in again.

I do think the Millerites were more of a hope than despair, though.

They build in the flood zone and on beaches that are washing away due to nature and the natural rise in sea level after the ice age. There is no sane reason to build there, and they only do because other people keep paying tax dollars to make them safe and restore beaches.
NJ is lined on the coast with $10 million dollar homes that only exist because the people who own them have clout so everyone else has to pay for their insurance and beach restorations.

The meltwater from Greenland would be freshwater. "They" theorize the freshwater mingling with the salt water would disrupt the Gulf Stream or at least redirect it. By which process I have no idea.
Many people really have no concept of how big the ocean is. I remember the freakout after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, I had to explain to a lady that the ocean is huge and could easily absorb the oil. She thought the oil would destroy the world...

No, it is the right size. Not a supergiant like Antares, but it will get big enough to eat up the inner planets.

What it won't do is go neutron star. It has to have a little more mass (1.4 solar masses). It means we need to be careful when we think about firing blue hair leftist land whales into the sun.

I don't recall if there was plausible explanation for how the gulf stream would get disrupted.
This was a few decades ago but I was watching a program on PBS about this and this limey prof said the Gulf Stream would stop when the ocean"s temp rose ??? degrees because the water would all be about the same temp worldwide and there wouldn't be cold water flowing south from the North Pole.
It sounded like BS then and it hasn't improved with time.

Both of them help with gut issues like that. Generic saccharomyces boulardii is the cheapest, FWIW

Dan Bongino Flushed Deep State Leakers Out of the FBI By Using the "Canary Trap" Technique
I don't know if it's really called the "canary trap." I just know that's what Tom Clancy called it. One finds a leaker by leaking particularlized misinformation to different people. Then you sit back and see what version of the misinformation winds up in the press.
Then you fire the person you told that piece of individualized misinformation to. Tyrian Lanister used it in Game of Thrones, too. Bongino used the same technique to separate real FBI agents interested in actaully doing their jobs from the treasonous Democrat "snakes" who infest American government to tunnel through it and collapse it.
Bongino said he was repeatedly assured certain individuals were trustworthy, only to suspect them of leaking shortly afterward. "It happened a couple times where they'd say, 'Oh, you can trust John Smith.' And you trust John Smith, and then a week later you see a leak in the media and you'd be like, 'I'm pretty sure that came from John Smith,'" he said. At that point, most bureaucrats would shrug and complain. Bongino did something smarter. He set a trap. To flush out leakers, Bongino began planting harmless, fake details--like an "innocuous" schedule item--and sharing them selectively with specific individuals. Then he watched. If that exact detail showed up in the press, he had his answer. "It was like we would play this little game," he said. Call it a game if you want. It was actually a classic counterintelligence tactic, and it worked. When the planted information surfaced publicly, Bongino confronted the source directly. No guesswork. No plausible deniability. Done.

"John Ʌ Konrad V@johnkonrad
·
Apr 28
John Thune has become a punching bag for good reason but there is a more insidious force at play nobody can talk about. Let me explain…
The staffers in Thune’s office have been asking Trump Naval and Maritime appointees questions about me before confirmation hearings.
I doubt John Thune knows who I am. His staff absolutely does. They track me. They hate me. And they will quietly bleed pushing out any appointee I’m friends with.
Someone close to PPO told me a Trump staffer commented that “Konrad should be a HBS case study on someone every in the administration respects but has zero chance of any appointment.”
It’s probably because I’ve called out congressional staffers numerous times before.
This is how Congress actually works.
It’s always the staffers. When we first floated the SHIPS Act, Mike Johnson’s hometown delegation were strong supporters. "

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy
-States that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:
-Those who are devoted to the goals of the organization and those dedicated to the organization itself.
-The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

A minister in ancient China with aspirations for power once brought in a deer to a meeting. "Isn't that a fine horse?" he asked those present. Several scoffed, saying that it was obviously a deer. Others, wanting to get on the minister's good side, praised the "horse".
Those who stated the truth were later hounded down by the 'law'. Those who lied, remained to bolster the minister's power.
There's strong parallels to what Obama and his group have done to places like the FBI and the DOJ.

Large organizations always start to shift to the bureaucratic model and the first thing that natural bureaucrats in the middle know is that control of information from the lower reaches to the upper levels is key to job preservation and power.
Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister are timeless in demonstrating this. The classic Yes, Prime Minister where the Prime Minister navigates a foreign crisis and thwarts the Foreign Office bureaucrats is classic.

Every time Trump survives an assassination attempt he enters a kind of zen fugue state where he transcends his usual belligerence and radiates unearthly serenity. "I wasn't worried," he said after this last one. "I understand life. We live in a crazy world." In this photo he looks like the speaker of Yeats's "Lake Isle of Innisfree," gazing dreamily into the respite that awaits him when at last his labor on this earth is done.
"Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade."
This usually lasts about a week before he goes back to thundering obscenities at his enemies and wishing hellfire upon them at the merest provocation.

I just wanted to let you all know that due to an unfortunate turn in dealing with several extended infections, he passed away today.

What's the most delicious about this technique is that almost without fail, it catches the kinds of people who think they're the smartest people in the room. (In Yagami's case, he was a genuine genius, (at least within the context of the story) it's just that he was overconfident and L was his equal) It's a little like the best way to swat a fly is to use its own innate defenses against it.

Thune is not a good manager. He is worthless.
Posted by: bob
========
Konrad's subsequent posts which have ignited a firestorm on X including staffers, etc. weighing in, also indicate the problem in part with Thune is that he inherited these problematic staffers when he agreed to be majority leader.
These top staffers come with the job, not from Thune and as Thune himself is selected by his colleagues, not by voters, those staffers are run in part by the Caucus, not Thune.
Konrad does not go into it but others have noted that Congressional lawmaking abilities have largely shriveled in part due to law writing being delegated to outside interest groups and to key staffers within that use these complicated bills to create their own power centers and funding for their allies.
This explains why our annual funding bills are such a shitshow--the key committee and leadership staffers and former staffers who are now lobbyists for special interest groups purposefully stall and delay so these bills so that a complicated omnibus/continuing resolution where lots of funding and provisions can be hidden has become the norm.

Bongino is not the first government manager to divulge the use of this technique in US government, e.g. reportedly this was done a lot in the first Trump administration.
I don't think revealing it is going to make leakers any more circumspect. They want to tell what they know. Like James O'Keefe's fake date stings are never going to stop working. Like these maggots are never going to stop keep documenting their disloyalty and 'secret plans' in e-mails. They don't learn any better. Surprising, but true.

He said on his old radio show that he was going to give it a shot when he was offered the assistant director spot but he said he was keeping his options open because he was not sure he would like the job. Turns out he did not like the job and he left.
From what I have read and heard from him the job was pretty much dealing with HR bull$hit and manpower issues.

I was a Congressional staffer for 5ish years lol.
There are a lot of fuckups, that's for sure. However, you don't hang around an actual conservative republican's office very long as a staffer unless you believe in the mission. i knew a lot of Mike Lee's staff and they were solid people who did the work to push actual conservative policy to the extent they could.
The RINO offices were staffed with exactly who you'd expect.

Annual staffer culling where the top ten percent get $1 million each and the bottom ten percent get fed to pigs.
Percentiles are measured by the number of PTO days the staffer takes. Most PTO days are top 10%.

Our tax lady attempted to submit ours electronically and it kept getting rejected. "Invalid PIN" they said.
We log in and get the pin from the IRS website, it's rejected.
Call them and they say they'll request a new PIN and it will be mailed to me within 30 days. It was toward the end of March. "Uh, tax day is April 15th, shorter than 30 days."
We get the mail in a week. Same. Damn. PIN.

Some staff are nepo babies and are hired due to their parents being donors or friends.
Most aren't. I was none of those things when I got hired.
I also didn't get paid anything resembling "extremely well." I topped out at about $40k/year before I found a better private sector job. The benefits are...okay at best, it's just government health insurance. Paid time off was in line with any corporate job you'd find. I think it was 3 weeks/year.

I stopped calling transmania Point Deer Make Horse, because the reference was too obscure. The incident you refer to lead to one of the briefest dynasties, since it was so dysfunctional.
One of the ways that Chinese deal with having such an ancient culture is by distilling historical lessons into little four-word epigrams. The epigram for that whole travesty is Point Deer Make Horse, with layers of lessons for keeping your head straight, and keeping it attached, and knowing how seductively effective tactics can be crippling long-term.

William Natcher of Kentucky ran his office that way. His wife was his chief of staff. Notably he always returned most of his House office allowance as he was extremely popular in his district and spent less than one quarter of his House office allowance. Ironically, the anti nepotism provisions make it more difficult to hire family members as staff. So those so inclined, like Maxine Waters, simply put them on their campaign staffs funded directly by donors. Probably worse in the bargain for that tradeoff.

Yep; government time is usually measured in decades:
59 years- John Dingell
57 years, - Robert Byrd
56 years, - Carl Hayden
53 years - Daniel Inouye
53 years, - Jamie Whitten
53 years - John Conyers
1 year seems barely enough time to locate the bathroom.

I know some of you follow him on Twitter/X, I'll probably be deactivating his account on there in a few days. Maybe not, I've not decided what I want to do with that yet.
I know this place meant a whole lot to him, so I thought you guys should know.

Let Congresscritters hire their own staff. No reason a staff job should be a lifetime appointment.
