Of Course: Biden Created a Special Exemption So That "Low-Level" Taliban Officials Could Migrate to the US

Yeah they're Taliban -- members of the radical cult that sheltered bin Ladin and floods the world with heroin -- but they're "low-level" "civil servants" so I'm sure they're cool.

BTW, why would Taliban civil servants have to flee the Taliban?

It's almost as if the Democrats just want to fill the US with foreign terrorists because they believe we should all be equal in poverty, misery, murder and terror.


Biden administration created exemption for many low-level Taliban 'civil servants' to come to U.S.

Amidst renewed scrutiny about the poor vetting of Afghan refugees in the wake of the debacle in August 2021, a review of a little-known Biden Administration policy allowing former Taliban government workers to come to the United States is taking center stage.

By Jerry Dunleavy


The Biden Administration implemented a terrorism exemption for Afghan refugees allowing hundreds of low-level "civil servants" from the Taliban government to resettle in the United States in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal and evacuation from the country.

The Biden-led Department of Homeland Security and State Department announced in June 2022 that it had put together new exemptions for purportedly vetted applicants who would otherwise be blocked from the United States -- including some former Taliban government workers. The policy allowed hundreds of Afghans to come to the U.S. when they would have previously likely been barred due to terrorism-related inadmissibility grounds (TRIG). This reportedly allowed hundreds of former Taliban government workers to come to the U.S.

The exemptions were for Afghans who had worked as "civil servants" under the Taliban (both before 9/11 and after August 2021), as well as for Afghans who "supported U.S. military interests" such as participation in resistance movements against the Taliban or the Soviet Army and for Afghans "who provided only certain limited material support to the Taliban or other designated terrorist organizations."

The Biden administration agencies said that the "new exemptions may apply" to "individuals employed as civil servants in Afghanistan at any time from September 27, 1996 to December 22, 2001 or after August 15, 2021." These time periods covered both the Taliban's first stint ruling Afghanistan -- when they protected al-Qaeda before and after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and were subsequently overthrown following a U.S. invasion -- and the Taliban's current rule of the country in the wake of the disastrous and chaotic U.S. evacuation in August 2021.

...

The agencies said the exemptions did not include Afghans "who held high-level positions, worked for certain ministries, or directly assisted violent Taliban activities or activities in which the individual's civil service was motivated by an allegiance to the Taliban" nor Afghan individuals "who share the goals or ideology of the Taliban, provided preferential treatment to them, or who intended to support the Taliban through their activities."

The State Department and DHS under the Trump administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether they would maintain this TRIG exemption for former Taliban government workers.

"President Trump's State Department has paused visa issuance for ALL individuals traveling on Afghan passports," Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on X on Friday. "The United States has no higher priority than protecting our nation and our people."

He complained about all the sorts of normal problems we deal with - government paperwork, government fees, working 9-5 and said hey it is YOUR fault my life sucks you brought me here!

And...he's not completely wrong. Why would anyone expect bringing some guy from 'Stan and putting him in modern America is going to work out well? Why wouldn't you send him to a more similar culture like Jordan or Egypt?

Jordan has already had 'refugees' try to take out the Jordanian government (see Black September), Egypt just fought off and removed the asshole Muslim Brotherhood and has Gazan Hamassholes next door and on their other border, the Libyan mess.

They should have been left. It is not the fault of the US that they chose not to fight it out for their country--we gave them twenty years of treasure and blood and the fact they could not stand up after that speaks to Afghani internal problems rather than the US.

I am really fascinated at how brazen these neo-confederates are in their efforts to keep their slaves.

And when one of theirs kills an ICE agent (and I'll bet that was who the Afghani terrorist was targeting in DC), what will they do?

I think they were speaking to Antifa, who view themselves as the true military to protect our democracy.
They are the ones most eager to have official sanction to execute "fascists" for illegal orders.
They have been yelling it at every one of their protests.
And now they have sitting Congressmen telling them "we got your back" ....

"This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."

The Chaser: the WH response
"Here's a Short n' Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won't apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country."
The representative added, referencing lyrics from Carpenter's hit song "Manchild": "Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?"

Sabrina is the actually sexy version of Taylor Swift and is pretty popular. I love this socially savvy take down by the WH.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) argued the “uniformed military may help save us from” President Donald Trump.

"I think in many ways, the uniformed military may help save us from this president and his lame people like Hegseth, because I think their commitment is to the Constitution and obviously not to Trump."

88 And of course it was already known, to the extent anything is "known" in epidemiology, still a young and fairly rough science, that "mitigation" (including lockdowns) are ineffectual against the type of pathogen involved in 2020 (an influenza-like illness, or ILI, that was readily transmitted and already "prevalent" - which has a much more expansive definition than assumed).

There's video of a panel of top epidemiologists, a few years prior to 2020, discussing just what strategy they might pursue in the case of a serious epidemic just like C19. The discussion wasn't about "policies", which of course were known to be irrelevant to outcomes, it was about how to talk to the public, who *expected that "something could be done!" to help*.

In other words, a workable PR strategy to hose down an ignorant, demanding public, shut them up while things ran their course. Which is the only outcome of such epidemics. Climate, ILI epidemics - 2 things humans are utterly unable to affect. Gives you a snapshot of the state of public understanding, and institutional collapse, in case you needed one.

Over a decade ago I used to write to Mark Steyn. And he'd print my stuff on his site (I could use an alias and fake email). Mark liked me, he really liked me! I'd found a story about a "meeting" of an Anglican priest and a moose limb who told them flat out that the Ummah was coming with the califate. He said, "We will use your laws of Democracy to defeat you." Paraphrased as it was years ago and I have no idea if I kept the story.

They know the system of democracy and law. They bathe in the word ending phobia (islamophobia). They are using this, as well as apparently bribing the police, in the UK to defeat them within. No shots need to be fired.A few machetes, oh, indeed.

Yep! Pop music has gotten so banal, if it gets taken over by AI, it's the record companies' own fault.

I'm hoping we have a renaissance of indie musicians with real talent filling in the vaccuum of AI. Fingers crossed. Part of why I think young girls love the KPop Demon Hunters is the singers can actually sing! The girl that plays Rumi sings a high A in golden. Taylor and Sabrina can't hit a high A in their dreams.

It is about an NEMJ article on a pfizer mRNA flu vaccine trial.

The results were really bad, but the article is positive.

He goes into details, but over 65yo got the flu more and had worse adverse effects (like kidney failure...) than the control (which was a standard vaccine.)

They simply did not report that and only showed the slightly positive results for those under 65

My current fave rabbit hole for Youtube vids are Gen Z producers, musicians, vocal coaches discovering the older music they didn't grow up on, and realizing how complex and sophisticated it is. Even the stuff we think of as "pop" for that era. One gen Z music producer had to take a break to calm down after hearing "Good vibrations" and "God Only Knows" from the Beach Boys. The complexity of the rhythms and tempo changes killed him in a good way.

A Man Brutalized a Woman and Put Her In the Hospital. In a Private Conversation, She Called Her Attacker a "Faggot."
She Was Arrested.

In the UK, of course. Another "non-crime hate incident" prosecution.

You're not allowed to use harsh language when describing the thug who beat the shit out of you, you see.

In the UK, a woman who was hospitalized after being brutally assaulted by a man faced legal consequences when she vented to a friend, calling her attacker a "faggot."

Police were notified, she was investigated for a non-crime hate incident (later escalated), charged with malicious communications, and ultimately convicted of committing a homophobic hate crime.

The victim of physical violence ended up with a criminal record for using an offensive slur about her own assailant in a private conversation.

Britain has absolutely lost the plot.

You can be imprisoned for five to ten years for calling the man who brutalized you a "faggot."

Meanwhile, I'm sure, he didn't spend a day in jail.

The UK also just prosecuted a man for... posting a picture of him shooting a shotgun at a resort when in the US.


An IT consultant was arrested by police in Britain after he posted a picture online of himself posing with a gun in the US.

Jon Richelieu-Booth said he was shocked by the "Orwellian" decision by West Yorkshire Police (WYP) to prosecute him over the social media post.

The 50-year-old said that on Aug 13 he had posted a picture of himself on LinkedIn holding a shotgun while on a private homestead with friends during a holiday in Florida.

Mr Richelieu-Booth claims the LinkedIn message contained nothing he considered threatening, with the picture attached to a lengthy post about his day and work activities.

However, he said that a police officer later visited his home to warn him that concerns had been raised about the post.

"I was told to be careful what I say online and I need to understand how it makes people feel," he said.

Mr Richelieu-Booth said he offered to provide officers with proof that the picture of the firearm had been taken while he was in the US but the officers said that was not necessary.

Mr Richelieu-Booth said two officers then returned to his home shortly after 10pm on Aug 24 and arrested him.

A bail document seen by The Telegraph refers to an allegation of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and a further allegation of stalking related to a photograph of a house that appeared on his social media.

He said he was held overnight in a cell before being interviewed.

Mr Richelieu-Booth said he was initially released on bail until late October.

He alleges that police officers then visited his property on three further occasions before he was re-arrested in October for allegedly breaching his bail conditions.

However, that charge was later dropped.

Meanwhile, an Islamist who photographed himself brandishing an AK-47 to intimidate everyone faced no punishment and didn't even lose his political post.

I don't know why we treat this shithole country as an ally. They're an enemy country, period. I'm now cheering the Islamic conquest of Britain. They deserve to be conquered.

12 BTW the point of criminalizing people doing normal things like posing with a gun or calling someone a faggot is to allow the regime to arrest people it wants.

These laws will never be used in any sense fairly, that's not the point.

But it is a convenient way to arrest dissidents while claiming you are just following the law and instill terror in the populace.

37 Wow. Starmer, that puffed up toad in a tux, is sitting pretty tonight at Windsor as the royals entertain the Germans. What a sad time to be a Brit. The guy arrested for his photo in FL is mind blowing.

I will state that I like the Princess of Wales new tiara tonight at the state dinner for the krauts. German: the only language where saying, "I love you" probably sounds rough.

I am fairly sure we won't ever return to the UK as I would, for sure, find myself in The Tower over something I said or laughed at. We were there five times and Scotland wins, in spite of their liberal bullshite.

In Austria I spent time taking photos of any word that had "farht" in it and laughing like a nutcase. I also was very tempted to start something at a lesbian bar in Vienna. They had a sign at the entry stating, "If you are a homophobe, redneck, or racist, do not enter." I really wanted to swing in like it was a saloon, place my hands on my hips and state "I am all 3, what are you going to do about it?" However I behave with my husband, son and DIL. It keeps me out of jail.

Go back to 09/10/2001 and now compare to 12/03/2025. Islam and Muslims have done nothing but gain more and more and more power and influence in this country.

It is clear that the government of the UK, along with the other European countries, are determined to end western civilization, and if they thought they could get away with it, they would attack the US just to try and remove Trump, because Trump is showing the world that people don't have to put up with governments that hate them and want them dead.

There is a downside to it, beyond the cultural implications and having nothing to do with sympathy or deserts.

Britain is a nuclear power, as is France and, probably, Germany. All three are in the midst of being colonized. As a result, these are now Muslim - or nearly so - countries that are, through inheritance, also nuclear powers.

They will get them from the Anglo-French before Iran is able to test a single bomb, and then they will use them.

Islam came for the UK and the citizens of the UK couldn't be bothered to save themselves so why should I?

The citizens of all these countries keep voting for the people who're fucking them over. Apparently, they enjoy it. Why should I stick my nose in?

At the same time, why should my countrymen continue shoveling money and lives to try and save a continent which manifestly does not want to be saved. Move them all to Canada and let the Canadians kill them.

123 Dear Britain, when one person wants to insult another (say, because that other person physically assaulted her and put her in the hospital), the person uses language that would otherwise be considered rude or offensive; but the intent is to merely insult that particular person, not to make some sort of sweeping statement concerning some particular demographic. So, e.g., calling someone a "faggot" would be just such an occasion--the intent is to demean that particular person, in the same way as calling him/her an asshole, and has nothing to do with male homosexuals in general. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just to be clear, the conservative party in England ruled to the left of Labour in a traitorous move, and new Reform didn't have enough candidates to win the last election, so Labour won by default. In France, the supposed right leaning party allied with the socialists to prevent Le Pen's party from winning the last election, and in Germany, not only did the right leaning party ally with the socialists to stop the AfD, they are trying to outlaw it so as to prevent the people from getting what they want.

It isn't the voters who are to blame, but the elites who are breaking every law and standard to prevent the people from voting in a group that can solve these problems. They are determined to destroy Europe and turn it over to the third world, and no laws are going to get in their way.

Pakistan is far less barbaric than the Arabs and the Persians, and their barbarism is both largely inward-facing and checked to a large degree by the threat of India on one side and Red China on the other. But even so, the only reason Pakistan probably hasn't used nukes in anger is the guarantee of destruction by India, Red China or both.

171 Just to be clear, the conservative party in England ruled to the left of Labour in a traitorous move, and new Reform didn't have enough candidates to win the last election, so Labour won by default. In France, the supposed right leaning party allied with the socialists to prevent Le Pen's party from winning the last election, and in Germany, not only did the right leaning party ally with the socialists to stop the AfD, they are trying to outlaw it so as to prevent the people from getting what they want.

It isn't the voters who are to blame, but the elites who are breaking every law and standard to prevent the people from voting in a group that can solve these problems. They are determined to destroy Europe and turn it over to the third world, and no laws are going to get in their way.

I'll accept your point about Reform but in France and Germany enough people voted for NOT RN (in France) and NOT AfD (in Germany) for the "center right" party to align with the leftists and keep the parties which want to be socialists but not surrender to the Muslims out of power. That was a choice. The same choice they keep making

It's been going on for over twenty years and aside from Trump, no serious effort has been made to slow it down or unseat the governments that have allowed it.

Looked more to me like he couldn't get nominated. Apparently Ireland has weird rules about who can run for President.

"A candidate must be nominated through one of two routes: either by at least 20 members of the Houses of the Oireachtas (Dáil Éireann or Seanad Éireann), or by the councils of at least four administrative counties (including county boroughs)."

So true outsiders can't even get on the ballot. McGregor tried, unsuccessfully, to get that changed.

Not all the good men were killed off. But a lot died. And the wars decimated the gentry class and the coddled country house lifestyle of the gentry class. Had to break up estates, sell land, etc. and the treasury was drained so they could not sustain an empire where the sun never sets. Plus political changes as empires no longer had colonies. Plus the decline of western civilization in general from progressive communism taking over everywhere. Declining western birth rates and ramping up immigration. Etc etc.

It's probably too simplistic to say all the men were killed off. But it did change things.

I don't think it matters whether the UK or France's nukes are leased or not.

What matters is who has access to them. And that apparently is going to be Islamists. Who also control those countries governments. And will use them.

It's not a matter of 'if'. It's a matter of 'when'.

Thinking otherwise... that somehow there are super secret squirrel protections that are impenetrable is... unwise. Now... whether the US is prepared to retrieve those nukes... as we did in Turkey is debatable.

NATO officials from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland pledged hundreds of millions more in U.S.-made weapons under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme, Ukrainian media reported.

Amid Russian gains on the battlefield, they insist Ukraine must be armed “to keep the fight going.” The alliance offered these commitments while being accused of attempting to sabotage peace talks.

Foreign ministers repeated the familiar claim that Russia shows “no willingness to negotiate,” but offered no explanation for why diplomacy has failed after years. Ordinary Europeans, meanwhile, are left footing the bill for a conflict they never voted to prolong.

Trump's Ag Secretary: States Will Either Open Their Books So We Can Detect SNAP Fraud, Or We're Cutting Them Off

This is huge.

Can't wait for a left-wing rogue judge to be "randomly" assigned to the lawsuit and immediately grant an injunction.


States that refuse to open their books on food-stamp spending are about to feel real pressure from Washington. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told the Trump cabinet Tuesday that the USDA will cut off federal SNAP funds to any state that keeps hiding its data -- a direct response to what she called a mountain of fraud sitting inside a program used by 42 million Americans.

Rollins said the problem came into full view earlier this year, when the USDA asked every governor to hand over their SNAP data so federal investigators could finally track where the money was going. Only 29 states -- almost all Republican-led -- cooperated. The others, including California, New York, and Minnesota, refused outright. Rollins said that refusal has consequences. Starting next week, she announced, "the money stops moving" until those states comply.

Rollins said the partial dataset already reviewed shows the program is bleeding taxpayer dollars on an astonishing scale. She pointed to 186,000 dead Americans still receiving benefits -- and that's just from the states that turned over their records. She told Newsmax the deeper the USDA digs, the more outrageous the findings become: EBT cards with balances over $10,000, cards untouched for years, and some issued to people who never existed.

With just the information provided by the red states, she's already eliminated a good amount of fraud.


Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson

MAJOR: Over 800,000 people have officially been removed from SNAP, confirmed by Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins.

She highlights that the fraud is off the charts:

- 500,000 people receiving benefits twice.
- 186,000 dead people receiving benefits
- People receiving benefits in SIX different states

This is an incredible start. Keep removing more. No more robbing the American taxpayer.

"800,000 of those 42 million have moved off of food stamps, which is hopefully the plan with better jobs, higher wages."

"We found 186,000 dead people or dead people's Social Security numbers being used, 500,000 people receiving benefits more than twice, we had a couple of people receiving benefits in six states."


We're living in a socialist country, with people paid a fortune for doing nothing. By allowing fraud at an industrial scale, they've backdoored socialism into law without a single vote in Congress.

What is "administrative funding"? That sounds like funding for costs to manage the program, not payments to SNAP recipients themselves.

"State-specific variation
Varying costs: The actual administrative costs vary widely from state to state due to factors like state economic conditions, SNAP caseload characteristics, and state policies.
Example figures:
In a recent period, California received over $1.2 billion for SNAP administration, which was 12% of its total SNAP funding.
Florida received $84 million for administration, which was a little over 1% of its overall federal SNAP funding."

Every now and again a story makes the news where some worker claimed disability, but then was found playing rugby or something. They can go to jail for it, IIRC.

"He who does not work, neither shall he eat" is a biblical aphorism derived from II Thessalonians 3:10, traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle, and was later adopted and reinterpreted by the international socialist and communist movements.

Vladimir Lenin cited the phrase in his 1917 work The State and Revolution as a foundational principle of socialism, arguing that in the first phase of communist society, only productive individuals should have access to consumption goods, marking a break from bourgeois law which allowed unequal individuals to receive equal products despite unequal labor.

This principle was enshrined in the 1918 Russian Constitution and later in Article 12 of the 1936 Soviet Constitution, which declared work a duty and honor for every able-bodied citizen.

The work could be anything -- I think I said playing Mine Sweeper a couple weeks ago.

Make them play that 8 hours a day. But give them 11 windows so they have to play, and monitor 10 other players.
This way it is scaleable and self monitoring. It would be easy to make an app to do it.

And make it all public so other people can monitor them.

You have to do it. 8 hours a day. 5 days a week. No play, no pay.

Or, get a fucking job you loser.

(Or course, exceptions for actual disabled, elderly, etc. but very strict and also public and monitored.)

Bets thing we could do is make snap cards only eligible for the BASICS. No prepackaged food, just the raw material to make food. Flour, butter, salt, meat, vegetables, etc.

250 This principle was enshrined in the 1918 Russian Constitution and later in Article 12 of the 1936 Soviet Constitution, which declared work a duty and honor for every able-bodied citizen.

I know that it's quite a fall from Paul to Lenin, but I don't necessarily disagree with this idea. Having been out of work for almost 2 1/2 years, I see how much poorer my life seems without a job. Work gives people dignity and purpose, and even a kind of joy when we do our jobs correctly. And the economy certainly benefits from having as many people work as are able, including those with physical and/or mental disabilities.

It's mandating what kind of work an individual or a group of individuals do that is the problem.

Lefties Continue To Live in Denial, But Gas Prices Are Now Under $2/Gallon in Some Parts of the Country

When is Trump going to fulfill his campaign promise of reducing inflation?

Wait, he already has?

Well in that case, when is he going to stop murdering poor innocent narcoterrorist drug smugglers?! Huh, racist?!

US gas prices fell below $3 on Tuesday for the first time since May 2021, according to AAA.

The national average price for regular gas dropped to $2.998 a gallon, down from $3.001 the previous day, according to the fuel price tracker.

It was also down from $3.036 a month ago and $3.05 this time last year.

Low prices at the pump come as Americans have been beaten down by sticky inflation and a weak labor market.

A survey from the Conference Board last week found consumer confidence plunged to 88.7 in November -- down from 95.5 in October. That's the lowest level since April.


...

Recent weeks have seen President Trump tout his affordability agenda as Americans shell out more on everything from a cup of joe to plush sofas and kids' toys.

But on Tuesday, the average price of gas dipped below $2.75 a gallon in 18 states including New Mexico, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado, according to AAA.

Gas prices dropped alongside oil costs as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, ramped up its production of oil -- keeping supply higher than demand and sending a barrel of crude down to just $59 as of Tuesday.

You may wonder where I got the "under $2/gallon" fact. That's from local news reports compiled in a Black Conservative Perspective video, linked below. That video also features leftists coping and seething and denying that gas prices have come down, even as they drop to $2 or less.


Last week, Axios actually admitted that the economy is, get this, strong.


Axios perhaps just inadvertently committed one of the most based forms of narrative-wrecking journalism ever to hit the leftist media ecosphere by admitting the Trump economy is a lot better than what the propaganda suggests.

Axios economics reporter Courtenay Brown and Chief Economics Correspondent Neil Irwin -- the latter of which forecasted economic doom since President Donald Trump first took office -- released a shocking Thanksgiving Eve story declaring that "the biggest-picture indicators point to this being one of the better economies of modern times."

Talk about a seismic concession for an outlet that had been routinely denigrating Trump's agenda from the get-go. As Brown and Irwin wrote, "There have been plenty of ominous warnings this year about the job market, trade war-fueled inflation, asset bubbles, and more. The mighty U.S. economy has chugged ahead in 2025 despite them all." In fact, "through 11 months of 2025, the overall trajectory is pretty darn solid." Well, dang!

But of course, the authors tried to throw President Joe Biden a line by tracing some of the markers as far back as his administration, which makes sense given that Irwin was a notorious Bidenomics simp. Brown and Irwin pointed to a bevy of economic indicators such as unemployment remaining under 4.5 percent for 47 consecutive months, glossing over the fact that during Biden's term, millions were still missing from the labor force. But now, as EJ Antoni pointed out based on the recent September jobs numbers, "Net job growth in Sep was from full-time hiring and replacing part-time work w/ those full-time jobs; this is a welcomed improvement after the weakness earlier in the year."


Below: Amy Klobuchar tried to dunk on Trump by posting the below chart.

1, she was so stupid she didn't realize that the chart showed that electricity prices skyrocketed under Biden. Trump's ten months in office (for term 2) come right at the end of the chart.

2, the chart doesn't even show electricity prices. It shows how much people owe for past electricity bills. This means it's even more reflective of Biden's inflation than we thought, because people who owed money for past energy bills accrued under Biden's regime will still owe much/most of that money.

50 The Blade has been screaming from the rooftops that the economy is in strong shape and Trump has done a great job righting the sinking Titanic he was handed by Joey Shitface.

This is a big success story that should be shouted from the rooftops. $2 gas? Are you pulling my dick? That's fantastic and puts real money back in people's pockets. Lotsa goods and services have gone down in price.

But too many people -- including too many conservatives -- just like to doomsay and whine about the price of beef and some other goods that have increased in price (due to no fault of Trump's).

Yes, beef is expensive, especially high-quality beef. If you want wagyu or prime porterhouse, you are always gonna pay. But chicken and pork is much cheaper. And despite the high price of beef, there are always sales on beef in the supermarkets I shop at.

Now that we aren't shipping as much overseas, produce has also been really cheap by me. Lots of loss leaders with prices lower than 10 years ago.

If only the proteins came down the same way. Although I guess it's a healthier diet to eat 4-5 veg with the protein. Like today's Trader Joe's orange chicken will be half as much chicken b/c I'm making a veg stir fry for under it. Better to have less sauce and breading and all the veg.

Posted by: Frank Barone at December 03, 2025 02:42 PM (IifOV)

It's always important to remember.

We expect positive job numbers because our population grows. The 150,000 number thrown around for years was the base assumption of people entering the workforce because of population growth.

However, we are now in population shrinkage. Deportations (both self and forced) are so high right now that we're probably going to see net smaller population in 2026 than at the start of 2025.

So, with that in mind, what is a good job report?

Everything is gong fine, until a rival station opens up across the street. t first Buster has gas at 28¢/gallon, but when the rival station lowers their rice to 27¢/gallon, all the Model T line up there, and Buster get no customers. So he lowers his price to 26¢/gallon, and everyone swarms across the road to his side. An insane price war erupts, and finally concludes with the rvialk station lowering prices to 1¢/gallon, with cars lining up to the horizon, s buster has n choice but to pyt up a sign saying "FREE GAS," at which point baically every car in the state descends on his station, and in the final scene he is left bankrupt, sitting confused in the dirt.

Cattle herds are at all-time lows, due in part to stupid govt policies under Biden. That, plus beef is right now very popular especially with the affluent set. Steakhouses are popping up everywhere. Women are eating more beef.

When you have lower supply and higher demand, then prices will of course go up.

But even then, while nice cuts like choice are expensive, the lower-quality cuts are still fairly reasonable. London Broil is about $7 a pound at my supermarket.

I notice too the climate crowd does the same thing - touting a potential increase in global temperatures of 1 to 2 degrees F without noting that average temps of the planet are on the order of approx 500 F degrees above absolute zero. So 1 or 2 degree increase over a 500 F base from absolute zero - how do you even measure that accurately much less predict 50 years out when you can't even tell me what it will be next week???

I can assure you all that no one picked on me and went unscathed. Plus I was not ugly and have a sense of humor.

O/T but on my mind due to itching from adhesive, and I have allergies to everything...which is on my medical record regarding adhesives. I did write in my little holter monitor diary that from 2-4am I was having anxiety due to itching and two hours of no sleep due to this contraption. I don't seem to have issues due to heart stuff. Fairly sure AI reads the report after I rip it and a layer of skin off tomorrow, or I'd crack jokes in the diary. Will probably now be hospitalized for a skin graft vs a cardiac issue.Maybe I will have a boob job at the same time.

In the end, you get less, have a much more inferior product and needlessly pay more to cover the multinationals greed to maintain margins.

248 not to criticise the administration, but the fact that inflationary growth rates have largely abated has not really translated into any appreciable economic pressure relief for the middle class. while prices are not rising as quickly as they once were (except in the sectors adjacent to the AI bubble), they have not come down to levels of what they "would have been" without extended COVID lockdowns the biden splurge (yes, deflation is bad), and for most workers, salaries and wages simply have not risen to levels that can withstand the new higher price points.

people realise that their hard work buys them less stuff than it used to. while it's not this administration's fault, it's natural that they will be the primary targets of political resentment over the population's dimished purchasing power.

I have been looking into the history of buffalo. There is growing belief that the immense herds were an anomaly and that they were declining long before settlers moved across the Mississippi. In fact, there is documented evidence of mass buffalo population decline before 1850. One reason was natural decline, the other was the plains indians learning to use horses to hunt, dramatically increasing their lethality.

Gavin was trying to offer incentives to keep it open, and the company said "screw it, we're done." And there were no buyers - it's just being shut down cold, as a pure loss. This is going to be a huge, irreplaceable shortage to California markets, and may send California prices to $8 per gallon next year, no matter what is happening in the rest of the country.

385 361 346 Honestly, RFK should start a "Chopped basket" or "grocery express line basket" stunt with some of the huge price decreases that have hit groceries year over year, AND show folks how to make them (we have White House chefs and normal people, too)...

You list the price difference from 2024 to 2025 and the return to the pocketbook, the healthy food you could make, and how easy it is.

B/c I got such cheap onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes, I'm betting a basket with eggs could be a fun Western omelet...ham must be cheap with Thanksgiving over...

Call it the "5 ingredient challenge" with only oil and s&p allowed as extras...

Yup...I was limiting to 5, but you could do cheese, too, or have that as another basket. It would be like a whole month of healthy eating - maybe it should kick of January when everyone wants to eat healthy and he can try to make it stick (and it's good PR on prices and a good push of his "healthy eating, healthy living" campaign)...

386 4% and 3% mortgages were rates that never existed before - and certainly at least as far back as the 80s of my yoot. Modern-day homebuyers that took advantage of those rates were lucky beyond belief. Unfortunately, they think that those rates are 'normal'. They aren't.

And while 6% rates aren't objectively "bad", the market *perceives* that rates "should" be a little lower, so its keeping any momentum from building in the housing market.

I think the larger problem with housing was the glut of demand stemming from first the emptying out of cities (to the small degree they did) in 2020/2021 and the increase in population from immigration (yes, illegals were being offered mortgages).

Builders have been over building for years to meet that, and this issue should largely even out on its own.

The bigger problem with rates is the more direct problem with rates: interest on government debt.

Interestingly enough, on this morning's Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine political show, The Huddle, they were talking about Stefanik and her beef with Johnson. It's personal with her, and this goes back to the time where Stefanik left leadership to get nominated as UN Ambassador, and Johnson ended up slow walking her nom to the point where Trump had to pull it. When she wanted to get back into leadership Johnson said no way. Bottom line per them - she'd been well and truly shafted, and wants payback.

And right now 6% is high. It's high to builders, businesses and to regular people. When we made our 10% loans (if we were lucky)

Incredible: Up to Forty Percent of the Students at Supposedly-Elite Universities Claim to Be, and Are Acknowledged by the School to be, "Disabled"

As you know, people who claim to be disabled get all sorts of privileges, like taking standardized tests -- to the extent they're even required any longer -- without any time limit.

But once at college, you can also use your "disability" to take all exams untimed, too.

Also, since white people are discriminated against unconstitutionally, it is even more useful to be able to claim you're a minority too, by faking a "disability." (Or, of course, by claiming to be some type of sexual minority, like "queer," which no longer means just homosexual but can mean being an "ally" of homosexuals.)

These factors plus universities now being clownshows that eat nonsense and shit failure have resulted in Stanford, supposedly an "elite" university accepting only the highest-performing students, having a student body that is 30% "disabled," almost always with some soft mental "disability" like "nuerdivergence." Things that cannot be easily disproved, in other words.

Serek Thompson
@DKThomp

This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics.

- At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled
- At Amherst: more than 30 percent
- At Stanford: nearly 40 percent

Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago."

As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability--extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc -- the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded.

America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations.

Even Steve Jobs' ex-wife's vanity newsletter The Atlantic sees this as a problem.


America's colleges have an extra-time-on-tests problem.


Administering an exam used to be straightforward: All a college professor needed was an open room and a stack of blue books. At many American universities, this is no longer true. Professors now struggle to accommodate the many students with an official disability designation, which may entitle them to extra time, a distraction-free environment, or the use of otherwise-prohibited technology.

Like cell phones you can look up the answers on.

The University of Michigan has two centers where students with disabilities can take exams, but they frequently fill to capacity, leaving professors scrambling to find more desks and proctors. Juan Collar, a physicist at the University of Chicago, told me that so many students now take their exams in the school's low-distraction testing outposts that they have become more distracting than the main classrooms.

Accommodations in higher education were supposed to help disabled Americans enjoy the same opportunities as everyone else. No one should be kept from taking a class, for example, because they are physically unable to enter the building where it's taught. Over the past decade and a half, however, the share of students at selective universities who qualify for accommodations--often, extra time on tests--has grown at a breathtaking pace. At the University of Chicago, the number has more than tripled over the past eight years; at UC Berkeley, it has nearly quintupled over the past 15 years.

The increase is driven by more young people getting diagnosed with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and by universities making the process of getting accommodations easier. The change has occurred disproportionately at the most prestigious and expensive institutions. At Brown and Harvard, more than 20 percent of undergraduates are registered as disabled. At Amherst, that figure is 34 percent. Not all of those students receive accommodations, but researchers told me that most do. The schools that enroll the most academically successful students, in other words, also have the largest share of students with a disability that could prevent them from succeeding academically.

"You hear 'students with disabilities' and it's not kids in wheelchairs," one professor at a selective university, who requested anonymity because he doesn't have tenure, told me. "It's just not. It's rich kids getting extra time on tests." Even as poor students with disabilities still struggle to get necessary provisions, elite universities have entered an age of accommodation. Instead of leveling the playing field, the system has put the entire idea of fairness at risk.

We can't just blame the universities.

Left-wing Congressmen are also to blame.


...

Change was slow at first, in part because Supreme Court rulings narrowed the scope of the law. Professors I spoke with told me that, even in the early 2000s, they taught only a handful of students with disabilities. Then, in 2008, Congress amended the ADA to restore the law's original intent. The government broadened the definition of disability, effectively expanding the number of people the law covered. It also included a list of major life activities that could be disrupted by a disability ("learning, reading, concentrating, thinking," among others) and clarified that individuals were protected under the ADA even if their impairment didn't severely restrict their daily life.

In response to the 2008 amendments, the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD), an organization of disability-services staff, released guidance urging universities to give greater weight to students' own accounts of how their disability affected them, rather than relying solely on a medical diagnosis. "Requiring extensive medical and scientific evidence perpetuates a deviance model of disability, undervalues the individual's history and experience with disability and is inappropriate and burdensome under the revised statute and regulations," AHEAD wrote.

So these dirtbag fraudsters are just self-reporting "I'm neurodivergent, I have ADHD" with no medical diagnosis at all and Congress says that we must treat this self-diagnosis as real.

Coincidentally, I just happened to watch this interesting video about people -- mostly women -- self-diagnosing themselves with a novel and quite fake new syndrome called "AuDHD," which is, supposedly, autism plus ADHD.

Autism, which involves fixating on something and focusing on it to the exclusion of all else, plus the inability to focus on something.

This woman, who I guess is a psychologist or psychiatrist, says that this fake diagnosis is gaining traction because psychiatrists just can't say "no" to patients. If some moron comes in claiming they are both hyper-focused and yet cannot focus, the psychiatrist just says "Yes."

Why are psychiatrists board certified if any asshole off the street can self-diagnose?

This woman points out that one of the women claiming to have this nonsensical diagnosis is clearly not autistic, as, for example, she admits she craves attention and validation -- something autistics usually don't care about -- and deploys strategies like "mirroring" and "love-bombing" to manipulate men into falling in love with her.

As she says: Autistics wish they could deploy the tactic of personality-mirroring to make people fall in love with them. But actual autistics cannot even understand other people's specific personalities, nevermind being able to "mirror" them, that is, act just like them so that the other person sees you as a kindred spirit.

If autistics could just "act like other people" then, get this, they would not be autistic.

But just as with the trans fad, young women are determined to diagnose themselves with some "hot" new mental illness, and just like with the trans fad, alleged medical professionals are too afraid to tell them that they're full of shit and need to grow the hell up.

So, get ready for the next Designer Mental Illness.

"AuDHD" is so hot right now, all the cool kids have it.

15 But all those people on welfare--who get cash money for claiming they are disabled--would never, ever, ever lie about their disability.

Reminds me of Penn and Teller showing how ridiculous the Americans with Disabilities Act requirement to make "reasonable accommodation" was by rolling someone around in an iron lung.

And let's not forget, Bob Dole, at the Convention, saying his proudest accomplishment as a politician was ... getting the ADA passed.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful but this is some b.s. If 40% of a population has a certain characteristic, it is by definition not a disability. It is a group characteristic.

25 I'm a Type 1 diabetic since I was 4. (Genetic, not because I was a fatso).

I was encouraged back in the late 90's to claim that I was disabled when I went into a state university since it would have the government pay my tuition and get me advanced access to sign up for classes early. All I had to do was meet with some disability office or something.

I always thought it was a fraud - but I did it because I wanted to spare my parents the burden of paying my tuition. Then I started working part time during my sophmore year and thus paying my own way through school - and stopped claiming disability.

I'm not disabled. I can't eat cake. Thats not a f'ing disability.

Posted by: ... at December 03, 2025 01:28 PM (NYcdS)

29 If everyone is disabled, then no one is. These kids are only acting in their own self-interest. You can't blame them (or the parents) for that.

Being "disabled" gives you all kinds of advantages educationally and probably financially too. Any kid who doesn't do this, when everyone else is, is at a yuge disadvantage. If you can't beat em, join em.

If I could do college all over again, I would absolutely claim I was native american. I am to a tiny degree. Why not take advantage if everyone else is?

My biggest advice to any kid of today applying to college is to find some hook or angle -- anything -- that can make you some kind of minority. Putting down "minority" on your application (and later job resume, etc) will get you further in life than anything else will.

Now was Cuellar guilty? Of course he was, but probably no more guilty than any other Democrat Congressman, or Republican for that matter. So why was he singled out? Because he opposed Biden on immigration, and as a hispanic office holder from the border region, his voice carried some weight. So Biden's FBI crucified him.

When I was a baby lawyer I was often asked to research and opine on proposed conduct or business decisions by clients. A client would want to do X, and asked a lawyer if it was legal.

Some of the Xs were way out there, clearly illegal. So my memo basically said "no you can't do this." The senior partner told me "never tell a client he can't do something. He'll just ask someone else and we'll lose a client. Say something like 'this would be risky, and here's how it might best be done to minimize the risk.' But don't ever say 'no.'"

93 A lot of psychiatrists are just drug pushers. That's not me being silly or exaggerating.

If you go into their office, and say you have this or that malady, and they have a drug for it, they'll give you that drug.

It's how they get paid.

It's been said a bazillion times, a bazillion ways, doctors don't get paid to cure people. They get paid to "treat" you.

The supervisor then returned fire, striking Lakanwal [hitting him 3 or 4 times], before a witness "jumped on" Lakanwal as he tried to reload his revolver, court documents allege, according to the Post. The suspect ultimately was subdued and brought into custody.

So I got myself declared to have something wrong (I forget what) and got extra time my 2L and 3L years.

When I was a 3L, I took a test only open to 3L's. I was in an extra time room - with pretty much everybody on Law Review. And prior to the test, they were complaining how they weren't getting extra time on the actual State bar exam!

It has been demonstrated (through real studies) that talk therapy is not very useful. Except for that poopulation you mention, the neurotics who just want someone to listen to them.

The concept in mental health these days is to use "evidence based" therapies, and if you are skeptical of that phrase, you should be.

However, the therapies that HAVE been shown to be effective for the more serious types of mental illness are the ones that use methods, other than "talk."

And if non-professionals are out there spewing their garbage about this and that, it just adds to the overall skepticism most people have of the mental health professions.

Well, I guess it's not cool to freak on Christmas Eve
'Cause the cops came and arrested me
They had an unfair advantage
And even though the jail didn't have a tree
Christmas came a night early
'Cause a guy named Bubba unwrapped my package (Hot damn!)

I've conducted college-level quizzes and exams. There were a couple of unlimited time disability types. OK. At the time, it was kind of rare.

On one occasion, for a lab final, I told everybody there was no strict time limit. Mistake. What I concluded was that people either knew the material or they didn't; and if they didn't, all the extra time in the world wouldn't change the outcome, it would just waste time.

253 Ace, you kinda buried the lede here. The main reason for this explosion of "disabilities" being recognized by colleges is the last part of your post: Congress drastically expanded ADA in 2008 to include virtually any "disability" anyone could invent. AHEAD went further by requiring colleges to basically accept a student's self-diagnosis.

Nobody despises colleges more than me and the wokeness than infects them. But this isn't their fault. This is all required by law. You can thank Congress for this. Congress could easily fix it. They won't.

272 And let's not forget, Bob Dole, at the Convention, saying his proudest accomplishment as a politician was ... getting the ADA passed.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice

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

That was ironic because he was also proud of not having any special considerations for his own disability.

Overcoming hardship is part of life. Yes we should make things accessible, and yes we should make allowances, but if you start telling people that they should give up and grift of their disability they lose a big part of life. Life is struggle.

These kids grifting because they understand college is not about education, it is about credential -- that is the start of the problem.

ADA was a mistake, and an extension of the "public accommodation" mistake. Fine for gov. to be inclusive and accessible but extending it to private business is theft.

It's the story of how a young man met another young man in a rest stop men's room, had sex with him, and then was ghosted by the other man.

So yeah, the fact it happened on Christmas was entirely irrelevant. Guys like George Michael are picking up men in rest rooms all year long.

276 Coincidentally, I just happened to watch this interesting video about people -- mostly women -- self-diagnosing themselves with a novel and quite fake new syndrome called "AuDHD," which is, supposedly, autism plus ADHD.

Autism, which involves fixating on something and focusing on it to the exclusion of all else, plus the inability to focus on something.
Posted by: Ace at 01:20 PM


As an acronym, "AuDHD" must logically stand for Autism Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and they plainly have a profound lack of autism, so it is technically correct (the best kind of correct) that they are deficient in it. However, if they are trying to pose as autistic, they should not have chosen such a horrifyingly clunky term that no actual autiste could possibly tolerate.

TT is a cesspool of toxic extremism. You don't get noticed by being moderate. You get noticed for taking outrageous positions. So you have the female TT saying "all men are pigs, just use them for their money."

At the same time, the male "influencers" are saying "all women are whores, just use them for sex."

These of course reinforce each other.

322 The 2022 film Violent Night features a Santa Claus who is revealed to be a bloodthirsty Norseman from his past, portrayed by David Harbour.
In the movie, Santa, whose real name is Nicomund the Red, was once a fearsome Viking warrior known for his brutal violence and pillaging, which he deeply regrets.
This dark origin explains his violent tendencies as he confronts a group of mercenaries who have taken a family hostage during Christmas.
The film, directed by Tommy Wirkola, reimagines Santa as an immortal Viking warrior who taps into his violent past to protect children, blending action, dark humor, and holiday themes.
A sequel, Violent Night 2, is in production and set for release in December 2026. You may now continue.

One of the ways I was manipulated by my ex-AH was being told over and over no one would want a single mom of a special needs child. It’s kind of a crappy thing, honestly, because not all of us wanted to be that. And I don’t think having a father in the picture paying their share and being an active parent makes you a single mom, either. But that is another conversation, and not my situation.

332 TT is a cesspool of toxic extremism. You don't get noticed by being moderate. You get noticed for taking outrageous positions. So you have the female TT saying "all men are pigs, just use them for their money."

The reason that this sort of content gets attention though is the FNM just straight up lies and eventually people start noticing.

And the TT types are honestly closer to reality then the "men and women are exactly the same" people the FNM points young people to.

Technically, it's an Advent carol. But it is awesome. I always picture monks rising early on a cold winter morning and singing that as they process to the monastery chapel for morning prayers.

Also, I can listen to Christmas carols anytime of the year. Especially in summer to try to forget the heat.

Her entire life is organized around "likes" on instagram.

Maybe auadhd is just newspeak for see-u-next-tuesday

419 I hadn't seen and really didn't know when it released the 3rd and 4th seasons of Shoresy, so I logged in to Hulu (daughter's boyfriend's account) and watched them.

Hulu SUCKS, boy howdy. 2 minutes of show, 2 minutes of commercial. 1 minute of commercial between each episode.

Made it difficult to get into the flow of the show.

Season 5 is supposed to drop next month.....but it's not floating by boat as it once did, so I won't pressure myself too much to watch it.

421 This is criminal, at least in spirit. These schools funnel state and federal money into bloated bureaucracies instead of education, pushing ideological nonsense while starving STEM, the arts, history, and literature. Our students can’t compete, and taxpayers are left funding the destruction of the country from within. Students walk away buried in debt for an education that leaves them at a disadvantage compared to graduates from other countries.

It shouldn’t be complicated: any school caught doing this should lose its funding without exception and be replaced by building new schools from the ground up. If an institution refuses to educate, let it fail and replace it with one that actually teaches. The academic system has been fucked up for decades, and it’s time to rebuild it around real learning, real accountability, and real outcomes.

There was a letter to Ann Landers ago that I remember, because it was so weird.

A woman wrote to Ann explaining that she was allergic to cold. I mean, not the usual female aversion to cold where they have to dial up the thermostat to the boiling point of water, but some possible fatal condition where the messed with her skin or something. So she had a handicapped sticker so that she could park as close to the building as possible in cool weather. But she said that other folks would always give her the stinkeye about it because she wasn't disabled and looked otherwise healthy.

I don't remember what Ann's advice was, though.

You're not getting into these schools as a white without some sort of "victimization tale", hence the need to fake being trans and/or invent other "disabilities".

Extra time on your test:

Back in my Army days, the first time I did my annual SQT test as an Infantry Private, I knocked that shit out in about 1/3 of the allotted time. First soldier to finish. The division SQT NCO asked me where I was going, and I told him I was going to the latrine and then waiting for the rest of the company. He responded "No, you aren't finished. Go sit back down and check your work." So I sat and looked at the test booklet for about 3 minutes without touching my pencil and then brought it up for grading.

Perfect score, bitchez.

Republican Matt Van Epps Holds On to Win the Tennessee 7 Special Election, But It's A Much Closer Race Than We'd've Hoped

Trump won the district by 22 points in 2024.

Van Epps won by about nine points.

The Democrats are hysterical and frantic and absolutely energized to kill us at the polls -- and maybe in real life too.

And too many Republicans, and especially too many Trump supporters, are content with the 2024 win and don't really care about the Democrats winning Congress back and impeaching Trump in the first month of 2026.


Republicans won Tuesday's special election in Tennessee. But instead of celebrating, many are dreading what it means about the midterms.

Republican Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps' roughly nine point win marks a massive shift toward Democrats from 2024, when President Donald Trump carried the district by 22 points. That double digit swing -- on the heels of crushing losses in off-year elections in November -- could be a harbinger of what House Republicans will face in the midterms next year, members and strategists warned, as they seek to hold on to their narrow control of the chamber.

"Tonight is a sign that 2026 is going to be a bitch of an election cycle," said one House Republican, granted anonymity to speak candidly. "Republicans can survive if we play team and the Trump administration officials play smart. Neither is certain."

Democrat Aftyn Behn's overperformance in the Tennessee special election -- which attracted millions of dollars in spending and national attention in its final days -- continues a trend of concerning electoral results for the GOP. Earlier this year, Democrats saw big overperformances in losses in other special elections in deep-red seats, and last month they swept a slate of critical off-year elections, including gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey.

In the wake of those victories, some Republicans urged the White House to retool its political message to better engage moderate voters and independents who broke for Trump in the presidential election.

"I'm glad we won. But the GOP should not ignore the Virginia, New Jersey and Tennessee elections," Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), who is retiring from his swingy Omaha-based district, said. "We must reach swing voters. America wants some normalcy."

Gerrymandering is becoming a very tricky thing for us. When you gerrymander to increase the number of seats you could win, you necessarily increase the number of seats you can lose. There's no way around that. Gerrymandering for numbers involves drawing districts which have scant majorities of your voters. You spread your voters around so that you can win with thin margins in as many districts as possible.

But doing this means that in a bad year, you lose many of those districts you've drawn to have thin margins. Your deliberately-thin margin of victory turns into a loss.

Does that mean we shouldn't redistrict? No, because control of the House is a very binary thing. It kind of doesn't matter if you lose the House by ten seats or thirty seats. Either way, you have lost the power to bring bills in for a vote, or block them from a vote, and of course Democrats are intensely partisan hive-mind bug people who will all vote in lockstep so even a majority of two seats for the Democrats is a guaranteed majority in every important vote. There are effectively no more swing districts or moderate Congressmen... except on the GOP side.

But given our performance so far, I think it's now guaranteed that we will lose the House by thirty seats, unless something changes bigly, and I don't know what that could be.

Trump has attracted new voters, yes, but these voters... don't really vote.

Meanwhile, a new poll released by the Democrats shows that Ken Paxton is leading shameless RINO traitor John Cornyn.

• 12/1-2 | 527 LV

Why did the Democrats release this poll? PPP is a bad polling outfit that pumps out crap polls, so we shouldn't put much stock in this poll either way; but why are the Democrats releasing it? Presumably they want to make trouble and influence the primary vote, but influence it how?

Are they trying to gin up support for Cornyn, the liberal? Or are they trying to depress his voters in the belief that Ken Paxton, the actual conservative, would be easier for Jasmine Ratchet to defeat in the general election?

I don't know. Neither seem like very compelling ops to me.

But Cornyn is claiming the poll is rigged by Democrats to hurt him.


Cornyn has led several recent polls; his campaign adviser Matt Mackowiak said the incumbent senator will win and that "Democrats are desperate to run against fatally flawed homewrecker Ken Paxton and cost the GOP a critically valuable Senate seat and as much as $200M in the general election."

Lauren French, a Senate Majority PAC spokeswoman, called that response "weak, half-hearted spin."

Robby Starbuck

@robbystarbuck

Some will be mad at me for this but I say it out of love for our country... We won the TN special election by less than we should have.

If you've been to this area, you know it should have been a blowout. And this isn't a knock on Matt Van Epps. He had lower name ID to begin with and did a good job pulling it out. A lesser candidate would have made it a real nail biter.

So why was it close? Many voters are apathetic and have very little enthusiasm on our side. Why? They think our majority in Congress is failing them due to weak leadership, bad priorities & inconsistent messaging.

Before I go further, I don't say this to punch my own side for fun. I don't do that. I say this because I want us to dominate for many years to come. Major time was wasted this year that should have been spent IN SESSION solving problems.

We need to right the ship or voters will sink our ship in 2026. Enthusiasm from 2024 is gone. The blind trust is gone. They want action. The people in Congress need to realize that they aren't Trump and he isn't there to carry them on the ballot in 2026. They need to deliver now. And even then we likely have to run '26 like a Presidential election with Trump going around the country.

I see it on the ground. Voters want to know when promises are going to be kept by Congress. They want a Congress that works as much as they do. They want the agenda they voted for in 2024 passed into law. They want the deep state held accountable. They want transparency. They want full focus on domestic issues instead of foreign issues. They want Congress to improve their lives. They want them to stop trading stocks. And they want to know what the hell Congress is actually doing for them. If our GOP majority doesn't deliver, many of these people won't vote, no matter how much they hate Democrats.

I'm hearing from people who I'd describe as the Trumpiest people I met from 2016-2024 who straight up won't vote in 2026 unless Congress changes to a fighting spirit this year and stacks wins on the board. These people have lost faith and feel like everything is rigged by uniparty puppets for special interests.

Doesn't matter what I tell these people. I can't make most of them vote again. Neither can any other big social media account. Only ACTION from electeds will move them at this point to feel that the incumbents deserve their vote. This is exclusively a right wing problem. The left is enthusiastic just about hating us. That animates their base by itself.

And many of the good things that have happened in Congress this year aren't even reaching the ears or eyeballs of average voters because the messaging is soft and inconsistent. Everyone needs a gut check and to tell the truth NOW to right the ship or they're going to get a much larger gut check in November 2026 when we lose the House majority and go through another stupid impeachment hoax.

Voters feel like they've shown up time and time again for politicians but that politicians aren't showing up for them by running on the same promises every election but then never delivering them. That goes for both sides but the left has enthusiasm simply from their base hating Trump. Our side needs to actually motivate our people to vote.

Congress needs a hard look in the mirror and to get to work on fixing this NOW. Our majority CAN fix this. Now the question of 2026 is this: Will they? I sure hope so because the alternative is dark. It's time to get to work.

Welcome to Wednesday. The word Wednesday comes from the Old Norse word "Wednyss," meaning "the hump of the workweek."

Whoops! I was so focused on writing posts I forgot to post this one at 12:10. I'm telling you, I think this creatine actually improves focus.

13 The victory almost perfectly matched the partisan makeup of the district.

If you want this to mean something greater, it means that we're in a D+1 environment, very far from anything like a wave.

Except...special elections don't mean shit because turnout of 33% just can't be equated to turnout of 75-85% like the midterms will be.

OH-6 went through this game just last year.

2022 - R won by 35.
2024 special - R won by 9.

Oh no! A D swing of 26! Republicans are cooked!

2024 - R won by 33 (and Trump won the state and the "popular vote")

I said this last night and I do not disagree with the sentiment, but this kind of thing is often relayed not as 'This was too close so we need to do x, y and z...' but rather 'This happened, we suck, we will always suck, the commies will win, no hope, go fuck an aardvark. etc etc.'

This gets old, if you have to make the fucking observation, fine- but do not just be a fucking Eeyore but offer some form of constructive advice or just shut your black pill bitch ass up.

We win, we start kicking each other in the balls. We lose we start kicking each other in the balls. We win, this just plays into dems hands. We lose, well the dems are inevitable and we should just fucking eat a bullet now.

27 A special election is about who is most interested in voting.

Republicans mostly have what they want, so they aren't interested right now.

THAT is the only salient point for 2026- how do Republicans give their voters a reason to be excited. Because I'm not excited about most of the back-stabbing grifters who represent the Republican party.

Trump needs to nationalize the election and get a platform that EVERY Republican will swear to vote on like the Contract with America.

It worked once, it can work again. We have the most unique politician of my lifetime in Trump. He can't make the left any more energized to stop him. He needs to get his base energized to help him.

I think these people are somewhere between optimistic and delusional. I think we are in trouble. We have no voter turnout, no enthusiasm, nothing that drives voters to the polls other than Trump being on the ballot. We seem to think we mobilized for Trump in 2024, and so our work is done.

Meanwhile, the Democraps are mobilized like D-Day and spending every waking moment planning their comeback. Some of us spend more time shooting each other in circular firing squads than we do fighting Democraps.

That's exactly right. The GOP/GOPe need to get off their collective asses and study Trump--he fights, and he wins. He also wants and openly campaigns for things and issues that WE WANT.

Some people around here need to face the fact that they enjoy being miserable. It soothes a weird "Last of the Romans/Last Ride of the Rohirrim" itch a lot of conservatives have. Keep it to yourself. Drink a whiskey or something. In person you might be tolerable but online you are insufferable.

Posted by: The Lower Depths at December 03, 2025 12:38 PM (Dg7ng)

85 It's an R+10 district not an R+22 district. Basically, Van Epps performed to an expected outcome.

After weeks of hearing how Democrats were going to flip the seat and every major Democrat descended on the district to rally the troops and pour millions of dollars into the race they got their asses handed to them.

Why should Van Epps, a guy with no name recognition running for an open seat, have done better? He still had to contend with the zombie voters in Nashville that would vote D for a dry dog turd and still hit the target. He's not Trump. Nobody is. Expecting him to perform to that level is not realistic.

Congress absolutely has to get it's shit together and start producing at a higher level but I don't see this as predictive of anything other than R's held a seat they should by a level they should. If anything, it's a positive sign.

And on the TN seat - what's the long-term partisan % margin there? 2024, or any year Trump is on the ballot, is an outlier by definition. Plus presidential cycles are different for almost all outcomes in every district. Guessing 9%, in a special election, is pretty standard.

=========
Because hot takes are what gets attention, not sober analysis because influencers and media lose their audience by that time. I am no fan of GOP campaign apparatus and their feeble state and local parties but here, Van Epps won a race by 9 in a +10 GOP district according to Cook's Political Reporting and most of the 'hits' by the Van Epps campaign came late while Behn had already banked her early votes before the hits (you saw that when she jumped to an early lead).

Trump consistently overperforms getting people to the polls consistently which is why I think he won in 2020. No previous president has ever gained votes in a reelection from the first election and lost.

That being said, traditionally the GOP did not have to have a ground game like the Dems. Now the party bases have swapped (college educated and wealthy voters moving left), broader GOP coalition, GOTV is imperative for Team Red.

116 92 Lose the House by 30? Any specific real analysis behind that? Not up on all the redistricting scoreboard as of today, but don't have the impression that a Dem win is guaranteed at all.

And on the TN seat - what's the long-term partisan % margin there? 2024, or any year Trump is on the ballot, is an outlier by definition. Plus presidential cycles are different for almost all outcomes in every district. Guessing 9%, in a special election, is pretty standard.

Posted by: rhomboid at December 03, 2025 12:39 PM (U/Byj)

=====

Look up the last three elections in OH-6.

2022 - R+35
2024 special - R+9
2024 - R+33

Small turnouts do not predict regular turnout. They just don't.

And the House will probably move less than 10 seats next year. A D win, even a big D win, would probably net them, maybe, 15 seats. The big effect of the 2020 census redistricting has been to reduce the number of actual purple-ish seats to a bare minimum.

Plus, the poll averages will probably move 4-5 points to the right in the next 10 months.

118 85 It's an R+10 district not an R+22 district. Basically, Van Epps performed to an expected outcome.

After weeks of hearing how Democrats were going to flip the seat and every major Democrat descended on the district to rally the troops and pour millions of dollars into the race they got their asses handed to them.

Why should Van Epps, a guy with no name recognition running for an open seat, have done better? He still had to contend with the zombie voters in Nashville that would vote D for a dry dog turd and still hit the target. He's not Trump. Nobody is. Expecting him to perform to that level is not realistic.

Congress absolutely has to get it's shit together and start producing at a higher level but I don't see this as predictive of anything other than R's held a seat they should by a level they should. If anything, it's a positive sign.

If you're voting republican, the polls are open tomorrow, Wednesday not today

It was always going be a steep hill. But Behn herself no favor featuring AOC at her rally.

AOC has nothing to do with the lose. It's a deep red district Republicans spent millions of dollars to win that shouldn't have required a campaign.

I LOVE AOC. When people LISTEN to her, they have more in common with her than they realize. But as a progressive woman, she's been vilified by the Reich wing to the point of being "Hillaried".

High profile NE & NY liberals and activists are not universally beloved in deep red states. Did they motivate more Dems and Indys to turn out, or more otherwise unhappy Rs?

The Trumpanzees didn’t care when our own troops were used against us. When the Department of Education was dynamited. When young girls were horribly used by wealthy men, including the Chomo In Chief. TN voters only care about being self-sufficient. Couple of beef cows in the yard little veggie plot who needs anything else. They cared only when beer, Copenhagen, and groceries cost more.

Being honest, I think a good thing for Cornyn to lose, but it will make the general election tighter. Cornyn would win in the general easily. Paxton or Hunt would win more narrowly - and both have the potential to lose. If the Dems run Jasmine, they will lose no matter what. A smarter Dem party - does that exist - would run a more center minded candidate.

129 Starbuck is correct. Our side doesn't have the killer instinct. Their side does.

They will crawl through the glass to vote for their candidate more than we will. Van Epps should've blown the hatec*nt out of the water, but he didn't. And we won't in November because our side really is the Stupid Party. Our leaders are squishy and so are our voters.

"Candidate X ISN'T PERFECT!!!" So they don't even vote and hand the seat to a D.

It's f*cking retarded. This is why we can't have nice things.

It's like the 4 years of Biden and the previous 8 years of Owebama didn't scare the holy hell out of us ENOUGH, where we defeat the D NO MATTER WHAT.

I mean, enjoying the Fetterman administration? 100% D votes is SOOOOO much better than an 85% Oz vote for R (or whatever he would've done, we'll never know).

Depends on the 2026 economy and other events. Late Spring/Early Summer or so is when to concentrate as feelings start to gel politically. We will know how many retirements, their replacements, the new district lines more or less, and whether the blue states are being forced to pare voting rolls and Scotus decisions that affect the field take place.

GOP has some headwinds, but a strong growing economy and job gains among citizens plus lower fuel prices might alleviate the typical midterm slump.

I agree but the problem is not the House, but the GOP majority in the Senate.

You gotta have both a ground game and a reason to vote. People like to be asked, not bombarded by robocalls, mailers, negative ads, and other tedious GOP campaign tactics. GOP never really had to develop much retail politics as they relied on the fact that their base voted reliably (SES, etc. reasons). Now campaigns need to specifically reach out and touch individual voters, move to banking early votes from occasional voters, wean GOP types off from voting only on Election Day (see AZ in 2022 and PA in the recent retention election as to why), and fight fraud from the Dems.

It also means going out to new communities like Trump does to convert new voters from people that would normally not vote GOP. Back in the day, Jack Kemp did that well but was saddled in with an aging Senatorial dud on the top of the ticket just like Sarah Palin was.

There is also an element of timing at play. Congress did pass the BBB which includes lot of things like tax cuts that won't be felt until next year.

We've become a culture of immediate gratification and there is a lot Congress needs to do but if the economy starts to improve, jobs start returning because of the economy and Juan going home, people feel tax cuts and more the entire environment changes.

Posted by: man at December 03, 2025 12:40 PM (XuXeR)

Yes, exactly. The dirty little secret the fake media doesn't mention is the redistricting in 2022 split heavily Democratic Nashville across districts, adding the city's northwestern portion—mostly majority-Black precincts—to the 7th District while shifting some rural counties to the 8th District.

This made the district less solidly Republican, leading to tighter races like the 2025 special election

215 "Democrat Aftyn Behn's overperformance in the Tennessee special election -- which attracted millions of dollars in spending and national attention in its final days -- continues a trend of concerning electoral results for the GOP. "

Yes, there are 100K idiots who vote for someone who hates the town they live in. However, Behn didn't overperform as much as the media would have us believe. As we know, there is a cohort that would vote for a bowl of poop as long as they had the (D) behind them.

I also wouldn't worry too much about Trump. His plan was always - always - to have a slump in our economy between the outsource and onshoring regimes. Tariffs were always going to be the bridge to help the gov't between those periods, and the BBB was always meant to give regular people a lifeline and companies an incentive to accelerate onshoring. That plan was always supposed to kick in by the midterms in a way that was evident to the electorate. The only ones in the way were going to be the judges, the Dems, the media, and the weak sisters in the R party that didn't see the goal line that was starkly evident for all who wanted to look.

CBD, Green was an incumbent which is about worth 5 percentage points due to favors given and received if your congressional office is halfway competent at constituency services. He also had much more money than Kelly who was a black sassy female with no money nor much backing. Abortion Barbie part two, had millions and probably with dark money outspent Van Epps two to one. Plus she represented part of the district as a sitting state House rep. Then the Epps media hits on Abortion Barbie redux were late affecting her vote little (banking early votes is why), Van Epps is apparently a generic GOP candidate, and his campaign relied too heavily on the traditional negative ads, robocalls, fliers, endorsement campaigns that rally the faithful but doesn't really move the needle much in a holiday season.

He did about as expected for a non incumbent winning by 9 as a generic GOP candidate in a GOP +10 district (not the ridiculous +22 bullshit). See normal vote (Phillip Converse) and how it is calculated if you want to understand Cook ratings.

Happy, perky, actual handwritten and signed by an individual female asking them to vote for their "friend" and seeing if they voted yet. That's all the mail they get...but for LIV young women, they don't get R mail, so the personalized D touch (and they sometimes gets 3-4 of these from 3-4 different women, not the candidate) is proving very effective.

🚨🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT IN OBAMAGATE — TULSI GABBARD JUST WENT NUCLEAR
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has confirmed that MORE DOCUMENTS exposing Barack Obama’s leadership role in the Russiagate hoax will be released THIS WEEK.
And that’s not all.
Tulsi has now officially referred Barack Hussein Obama to the DOJ for CRIMINAL PROSECUTION for his role in what she calls a seditious conspiracy — an unprecedented, weaponized attack on a duly-elected President and on the Republic itself.
This is the first time a former president has faced a criminal referral for orchestrating an intelligence-operation against his political opponent.
And Obama’s reaction spoke volumes.
The man who never responds to political controversy suddenly rushed out a statement — which tells you everything.
He knows the walls are closing in.
Tulsi says we are now closer than ever to:
✅ An Obama indictment
✅ Full public disclosure of the Russiagate operation
✅ Long-awaited accountability for the architects of the hoax
✅ The first real step toward national healing after years of corruption, sabotage, and abuse
This is HUGE.
This is history.

Yea, the DU take on this is ... something. They seem unable to understand -- like it just doesn't compute at all -- that voters might vote in their own self-interests in one of the most basic interests there is: helping their families stay fed, happy, and healthy.

Their fetish for sacrificing their own interests in favor of whatever obscure bullshit New Thing the Democraps are pimping is so ingrained and brainwashed, that they can't even conceive of anyone doing anything different.

251 Well, one thing to consider is that when we approach the mid-terms, Trump will be ramping up the Campaign Machine. There wasn't much purpose in doing so for special elections as it is not an all encompassing event that people outside of that particular district care about directly.

The mentality for Virginia and New Jersey, for example, for most right leaners was that it was a fool's errand to assume both left leaning states would go against the grain. Virginia, specifically, had a whole lot of people with vengeance in mind having been Fed employees laid off by the current administration, or knowing someone who had been. New Jersey has been corrupt and lost for ages. It's not going to change....just get worse.

258 Eggs were listed in the “Meat” category in the good ole USDA Handbook #8

They are excellent, high quality protein, and are no slouch when it pertains to important vitamins and nutrients and minerals. They are versatile, and used in a great many recipes. Ordinarily they are pretty inexpensive. Incredible edible egg indeed.

“Eggs are bad” coincided with the early 70s monetary inflation. Almost overnight Americans couldn’t afford dairy, meat, etc. Politically a problem.

The job of DC is to pass legislation. That's it. They are not incentivized to pass good laws, or to eliminate bad ones. Both Ds and Rs are there to pass legislation, and 'do something' and give bennies to their consitutents, whom they ultimately answer to in the voting booth.

Both. Either way it's a win in their minds. Hunt got in it because all the money dumped for Cornyn was becoming effective, he was coming up in the polls. Hunt helped pull voters away from Commie Cornyn.

From what I was reading, turnout for TN-07 here was about the same as 2024, 99%.

So, I figure what happened was the Dem lunatic base was all fired up to put the AWFL witch in and stick it to Orange Man Bad, and our voters were more "meh" and didn't show up as much.

That district is red enough that our underperformance vs their lunatic base overperformance didn't matter, and we still one by a little less than half the margin.

Maybe it is all just grift, although I think he's going to be looking at some seriously diminishing returns before too long. But then I hear he's got plenty of family money, so is it really the financial part of the grift that makes his crazy world go 'round? Baffled in Brunswick County.

I said this last night and I do not disagree with the sentiment, but this kind of thing is often relayed not as 'This was too close so we need to do x, y and z...' but rather 'This happened, we suck, we will always suck, the commies will win, no hope, go fuck an aardvark. etc etc.'

This gets old, if you have to make the fucking observation, fine- but do not just be a fucking Eeyore but offer some form of constructive advice or just shut your black pill bitch ass up.

321 My analysis of the TN race from last night

So we beat the commie in TN by 9 points? That's pretty solid, but last election we won by 22.

Looking at recent past elections:

R v D
2025: 97K v 81K
2024: 192K v 123K
2022: 108K v 69K

So...the Ds continue to get the same or better numbers as they do in non-presidential national elections in these special elections. Which points a bright shining finger at fraud.

It does look like Trump's intervention did get us closer to normal off year turn out here, but the GOP has to figure out how to do this without Trump having to get personally involved.

- To prove that he is not as stupid as he really is. He is a low-wit who wears a bow tie to look intellectual. He has always tried desperately to look smaaaart, and now he does that by being a contrarian to the Right, kind of off hand supporting the nazis and muzzies, and showing he is an "independent thinker."

351 via GP:
On November 24, 2025, Wilmington, Delaware, resident and University of Delaware student Luqmaan Khan, 25, was stopped by police during an after-hours property check in Canby Park West. Khan is a legal immigrant from Pakistan.

Court documents reveal that Khan was asked, and subsequently refused, to exit the vehicle. He was taken into custody and, during a search of his vehicle, officers found a .357 caliber Glock handgun loaded with 27 rounds.

The United States District Attorney’s Office, District of Delaware shares, “The handgun had been inserted into a microplastic conversion firearm brace kit. Within the vehicle, officers also found all the following: (i) three more loaded, 27-round magazines (one in the storage slot of the conversion kit); (ii) a loaded Glock 9mm magazine; (iii) an armored ballistic plate; and (iv) a marble composition notebook.”

“In the handwritten notebook, Khan discussed additional weapons and firearms, how they could be used in an attack, and how law enforcement detection could be avoided once an attack was carried out.

The GOP didn't seize control of the House until the 1994 mid-term elections. It took two years of Slick to make that happen. Reagan got shellacked in the 1982 midterms because the country was going through a painful economic recovery caused by the Carter single-term debacle. By 1984, it was Morning in America, baby.

People don’t understand why Republicans aren’t fixing the economic problems left to us by the Biden administration and they don’t understand why we can control the House, the Senate, and the White House and still not pass a simple CR. They don’t understand or don’t care about cloture.

Nuke the filibuster, and don’t give me excuses about the Dems using it to make things worse — they’re going to nuke it themselves as soon as they have the opportunity and the control; the “moderates” who kept them from doing it previously are GONE. Wake up and smell the extremists because they control the Democrat party now. The only winning move is to beat them to the punch.

I clearly remember his wind up from a Lincoln Day Dinner in Ft. Worth in 2004 as to how "here is where the shoe is going to pinch a little bit" with regard to illegal immigration. In short, we as loyal Texas Republicans, were going to have to give those who illegally entered our country a pathway to citizenship. Then they would be converted to loyal Americans just like the rest of us. Apparently, there was no other way around this persistent problem. SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE!

He can't stand it when he's not the center of attention--even IF THAT MEANS THE LEFT IS HURTING THEMSELVES. When Pelosi was fighting with the squad, Trump told them to "go back to their country" thus unifying her with the squad. When Walz is caught up in Somali fraud issues, he calls him a retard and loses all the upper hand.

He's never going to let Vance get any traction. He'll call Leslie Stahl a "Cunt" three weeks before early voting and lose the entire female vote. We're cooked. The more this man gets to run his mouth, the greater the bloody losses.

Wednesday Morning Rant

mannixape2.jpg

Cynical Empathy

For a little while now, there has been a new term that keeps cropping up on the internet. That term, which was apparently popularized by Gad Saad, is "suicidal empathy." I think "pathological empathy" is a bit more accurate, but it's more or less the same thing. The "suicidal empathy" concept is that the desire of some - usually leftists, and usually AWFLs - to be "caring" or "compassionate" has become destructive to themselves and the culture.

Cases of rape victims who refuse to describe their attackers when the attacker is a minority because they don't want to accuse a minority of a crime and "contribute to the problem of racism" or somesuch are often pointed out as micro-level examples of "suicidal empathy," as are cases of the parents of children murdered by illegal aliens publicly emphasizing how much they support unchecked migration and the dissolution of borders. At the macro level, examples are usually things like open borders or elimination of prisons. At some point, the desire to "do good" or be one of the "good people" (and not ever a garbage person like those MAGA people!) becomes so destructive as to be fatal. There is some truth to that, at least among individuals.

Individually, I think "suicidal empathy" or "pathological empathy" are very real phenomena and there are countless people who would happily see the entirety of civilization fall to avoid being seen as unempathetic. These are the idiots who will happily ride the train directly over the cliff, celebrating the entire time. It is a huge problem, but it does not explain much of what we see. What we see from many people in power smacks of "suicidal empathy," but there is an obvious undercurrent of naked corruption beneath it.

The prime example from the recent news cycles is the looting of Minnesota by Somalis and the use of stolen Minnesota taxpayer dollars to finance Somali terrorism abroad. In a recent article that Ace covered, a number of state employees place the blame firmly on Governor Walz. In the article was a segment that I think is illustrative of the power elite manifestation of what could be described as "cynical empathy:"

They allege agency leadership handpicked by Walz "willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet" and filled top posts with political allies who were "not qualified for their jobs." Staffers who witnessed or documented fraud were "shut down, reassigned and told to keep quiet," the statement said.
...
Walz has pushed back on the criticism, telling The New York Times that his administration "erred on the side of generosity" during the pandemic and disputing claims that concerns about racial optics slowed the state's response.
(emphasis mine)

Tienanmen Tim allegedly knew - or at least, people told him repeatedly - that these programs were being looted by Somalis who then used at least some of the money to finance terrorism abroad. He knew, but did nothing about it. The theft was consistent with his worldview and political objectives. Looting the taxpayers to hand money over to preferred minority groups in openly fraudulent schemes was just fine by him. When called on it, he brushed it off as merely "[erring] on the side of generosity." He justified his behavior with an empathy-based argument.

But is this yet another example of "suicidal empathy?" I don't think so. Unlike the useful idiots who vote for people like Walz so as to be "good people," Tienanmen Tim doesn't believe a word of it. He isn't trying to be "generous." He isn't trying to be compassionate. He isn't exhibiting empathy. He is stealing and supporting his allies - who are, by definition, our enemies - by doing harm to the people of Minnesota. The "empathy" is just a cover.

But it may, perhaps, be a distinction without a difference. Whether suicidal empathy or cynical empathy, the outcome would be the same.

The lefties I talk to support unlimited immigration because:

1) They want cheap labor
2) They want votes for leftwing pols
3) They want to "eliminate whiteness" and cause the great replacement
4) They get paid by the immigration/welfare complex

and on and on

They all have a personal reason and if your average Somali or Spherical Guatemalan was voting R and paying taxes these lefties would be demanding these people be sent home.

Remember the German refugee family that was sent home because the Fourth Reich won't allow home schooling? Hell, how about Elian G? Note...no "empathy" for them...

Or "rationalized cowardice masquerading as empathy and justified as a virtue."

Cowardice is the main driver though.

50 Some of this comes from the playbook of the DoJ Community Relations Service folks. They cajole living victims and family, write press releases, manage information releases, all without fingerprints behind the scenes in any case that involves the possibility that a community might get upset when a politically correct offender does hideous crimes.

In essence, a Democrat protection racket where the careerist and leftist DoJ utilized the power of government to thwart the public finding out the true costs of indulging the left's chosen pets.

CBS story, "A group of civil rights organizations is seeking an order to prevent the closure of a Justice Department office dedicated to preventing unrest and violence in U.S. cities.

The groups are suing for a preliminary injunction to avert the closure of the Community Relations Service, which was launched in 1964 to avert rioting and racial strife in American communities.

The office has been known informally as "America's Peacemaker."

As CBS News reported in April, the Trump administration was planning to shutter the Community Relations Service. "

An idiot feminist named Carol Gilligan objected to his system because most women got stuck at stage three, where they acted to be perceived as a nice person (as opposed to developing an abstract morality, like every religion and philosophical school does). Like most feminists, she was too dumb to realize that she hadn't found a problem with the theory, but a problem with feminism treating men and women as equal.

But there are others who will go for the jugular and start calling the victim racist because they labeled the person black, as an example. It happens in the streets, in the news and in courtrooms. We shouldn’t lose sight of this, nor should we lose sight of the magnitude of trauma involved in rape and its effect on a response to the event. Those who throw being raped around as a descriptor of an event that is merely hard diminishes the trauma greatly, and I don’t wish it on anyone. And I mean anyone.

"I saw him. I looked into his eyes. I viewed the openness of his soul through those black and whites, perceiving no other color. Into that I saw an emptiness. Of purpose, of intent, of intelligence. He was perfection exemplified. The void into which I had been seeking answers for my whole life, from the time I first considered eternity. In this man was pure absence, and it both terrified and exhilarated me. I knew he was to die at the hands of his masters, perhaps fed to feral hogs or shot in the back of the head, left to rot in a Chinese forest, but for that moment, I understood."

And if this is the true reason, I understand, but are we assigning that reason without understanding why? Probably not in all cases, there are legit brainwashed people out there who are withholding this information. But there are others who will go for the jugular and start calling the victim racist because they labeled the person black, as an example. It happens in the streets, in the news and in courtrooms. We shouldn’t lose sight of this, nor should we lose sight of the magnitude of trauma involved in rape and its effect on a response to the event. Those who throw being raped around as a descriptor of an event that is merely hard diminishes the trauma greatly, and I don’t wish it on anyone. And I mean anyone.

Starting next week, 21 Democrat-controlled states will lose federal SNAP funding for refusing to comply with USDA anti-fraud data requirements.

- in the states that did comply, they found 186,000 dead people social security numbers being used

- 500,000 people that received benefits more than twice

- multiple people received benefits in 6 states

- In February, for the first time ever, the Federal Government asked for alls rates to turn over their data to root out the fraud.
—— 29 Red states said yes
—— 21 Blue states said no

“So as of next week, we have begun and will begin to stop moving federal funds into those states until they comply.

179 David Horowitz talks about this phenomenon in detail in his book Radical Son, and most people who have made the journey away from a leftist world view came to similar observations and conclusions.

Re-evaluation of long standing beliefs is extremely difficult. Admitting you were wrong about something is just a bridge too far sometimes. What I’ve noticed is my leftist friends and co-workers grew old but they never grew up. They are in a seemingly permanent state of adolescence in terms of snark and maturity.

There is another strain of revolutionary mindset, that Horowitz talks about. They don’t care about being hypocritical, and with many, intentions matter, not results. So they are willing to ignore anything that doesn’t comport with how they wish things to be, rather than the reality. Your death before their dishonor, they will not ever admit their philosophy is bankrupt, immoral, or unworkable. Indeed they will double down. The seeds of their destruction is already preordained in that sense, the problem as always is the collateral damage to everyone elee.

The 20th century alone witnessed maybe 100 million murdered by their governments, experimental totalitarians.

If I directly robbed someone of their hard earned possessions however meager I deserve whatever it takes for them to stop me from robbing up to suffering painful mortal wounds if not outright killed if that is what it takes to stop me.

Anyone who robbs anyone has earned that end.

Anyobe who opposes it is an accessory to robbery and deserves the same fate.

189 They don’t care about being hypocritical, and with many, intentions matter, not results. So they are willing to ignore anything that doesn’t comport with how they wish things to be, rather than the reality.

A common feminist argument in the late 90s was that women should be ok with being raped by Bill Clinton as long as kept abortion legal.

And honestly that should be read as "other women being raped by Bill Clinton".

190 "Suicidal empathy" is just mental illness. It's not new either. The pathology of deliberately choosing bad options that almost certainly will result in misfortune or even death has existed since caveman times. It's particularly pronounced in political decisions, and always has been.

How many people lined up to vote for -- and supported -- dictators who were little more than vicious thugs? Marx was a disgusting, filthy human maggot (literally), but he understood this far better than most. His idea -- brilliant, really -- was to package this pathology in shiny boxes with "we are all equal" stamped onto the sides. It worked, sadly.

It's been my observation that con men and fraudsters always take advantage of do-gooders, as I use to call them. Some do-gooders want to throw a bunch of money to help some poor people or some bad situation, and the fraudsters line up to help, and of course skim off the top big time.

This toxic empathy thing is the same thing, but it's much worse than mere do-goodery. It's well beyond that. And the fraudsters come right in with that as well, and they are even worse. Rather than just stealing from the taxpayers, their fraud becomes even more destructive as well, such as funding terrorists.

Carol Gilligan would regard both being cast as hetero normative and put on the show to be subject to the male gaze.

Instead, someone like Trigglepuff and that female? lecturer (in a sky cap and yelling in a pix) at Univ. of Missouri during BLM protests should have been cast.

No odious male satisfaction would occur but body positivity exhibited by Trigglepuff along with gender fluidity and the obvious female empowerment by the lecturer constantly yelling at the patriachy and reeducating the males on the island to accept gender fluidity could be shown instead. This is what entertainment should be like under Carol Gilligan (and somewhat how Kathleen Kennedy probably feels as well).

I had an appointment with an ENT guy this morning. Because I'm a jerk, I take a perverse delight in asking them questions which get down in the weeds of their profession, but to which I am already pretty sure of the answer because of work I did previously. Anyway, this guy seemed quite nervous when I asked, and didn't specifically answer the question.

The nurse in the background seemed to enjoy it greatly.

258 246 This will be sidelined by our black robed savants before it can be put in place. The funds will be sent while the administration and the judicial coup hash it out in court over the next several months.

259 Obamacare subsidies started at $13B, and are now about $140B. Did you know that before the shutdown? I didn't.

1) Triple the cost of healthcare so you can give freebies to illegals and grift off of it

2) Enact subsidies with inflated dollars so the plebes don't notice

3) Claim its Trump's fault when inflation goes up

He likes to use the example of the wood cricket, which dies in water. A parasite that attacks them causes them to want to jump into water because the parasite needs water to complete its reproduction.

Pretty much except sometimes Scotus gets involved if the appellate court discards the law and sides with the lower court.

The Golden Rule applies on matters like food stamps where the Feds are paying all of it. He who has the gold, makes the rules for those wanting a piece of it. The states have to follow what the federal government wants in such matters. There is no 10th Amendment carve out for taking fedbucks and then ignoring what the feds want in return.

See South Dakota v Dole about the spending clause strings that fedgov can put on states receiving the aid. In that particular case, it was the requirement that states raise their speed limit which is much more intrusive than asking for information about how fed money is spent.

Legally, the lower courts literally have no ground to stand on except Orange Man Bad in this matter.

Yeah, they all started out in the CCM ghetto as session/touring musicians, plus did a Indy release as Sneak Preview a few years before rebranding as King’s X. Their first four releases are very good, especially Gretchen Goes To Nebraska, then they went off the reservation —they are all apostate now, with Doug (I refuse to use his stage name) coming out as homosexual.

330 I would call it more empathy without critical thinking or reflexive empathy.

There was a clip of some awfl asking Nigel Farage why he thinks mass immigration for Britain was a bad thing, she asked this in a manner of sneering condescension, because she thinks it's great and the only reason you would be against it is a bigot.

He listed out the reasons it was deleterious and she had this complete look of shock as she clearly had not even thought about any negative consequences in the least.

Because in here mind, if you have the right opinions then there can be no downstream negative consequences.

Guy's in a restaurant, looking at the menu. His waitress, a hot looking blonde comes up and asks for his order. He looks her up and down, and says, "I'd like a quickie!". The waitress walks off in a huff. A few minutes later, she comes back, he looks her up and down and once again says, "I'd like a quickie!". Even more upset, the waitress walks away again. The third time this happens, the waitress slaps the man across the face and walks off, quite peeved. A man nearby, seeing all this, tells the man, "I think it's pronounced Quiche."

Because as Aristotle put it, you fight rhetoric with rhetoric, not dialectic which is a traditional conservative tactic. The argument by Democrats traditionally is solely at the level of feelings, not logic.

So you reply with something like lazy freeloaders, parasites on working people, welfare queens, or lazy cheaters. That is how rhetoric works. Instead, conservatives debate using a long didatic dialectical discussion of how long term receipt of benefits actually undermines positive development of recipients into people working in the community.

Rhetoric is purposefully designed to win debate fights for demagogues but the advantage of good rhetoric based in facts is that it persuades more people than bad rhetoric based solely on feels and unicorn sparkly farts.

Yeah, they all started out in the CCM ghetto as session/touring musicians, plus did a Indy release as Sneak Preview a few years before rebranding as King’s X. Their first four releases are very good, especially Gretchen Goes To Nebraska, then they went off the reservation —they are all apostate now, with Doug (I refuse to use his stage name) coming out as homosexual. Such a waste. I hope and pray they all repent and return to Him.
Posted by: goozer at December 03, 2025 12:07 PM (BAs8w)



Gretchen Goes To Nebraska is woefully underrated, especially since Ty Tabor got one of the greatest rock guitar tones ever produced on those first 4 albums (using a weirdo Fender Elite Strat and a solid-state Lab Series L5 amp). The decline started when he changed over to generic Mesa-Boogies on Dogman.

As for Doug Pinnick, great voice, good bassist and I couldn't have cared less about him being gay. Then he started singing about being gay and calling his own audience bigots. Douchebag.

I still have Gretchen on my shortlist of desert island albums.

378 Funny thing, the book was inspired by Ted Geisel being frustrated by the suffocating commercialism of the Christmas season (and this was only in the 50s), and trying to articulate what he thought the good of Christmas was (without being particularly religious, because he wasn’t, he was a good mostly-agnostic lefty to the point that when Chuck Jones’ animated version was going to show a star descending down on the Whos near the end, he objected and insisted it rise *up* from them instead).

The Grinch was basically the misanthropic side of Dr. Seuss himself.

Posted by: He learned almost too late, that Moron is a feeling creature at December 03, 2025 12:40 PM (KzDOI)

379 Maybe it wasn’t Seuss who wanted the star to rise up, but there was definitely concern that having it descend down was too overtly Christian. I’m trying to figure out where I specifically read this, no luck yet. But I do feel like Seuss was not particularly religious - he definitely had very secular lefty sensibilities (not Marxist, but he loathed Nixon and Reagan and railed about the environment and nuclear war)

380 I agree with JM. The Dems have adopted the language of females and just ooze sympathy and caring. As when Gavin Newsom's chief of staff was arrested for theft, he said he worried about her children. What?

And then they also have major emotional freakouts like this Aftyn B. from Nashville, and Nashville voted 77% for her! The emotionalism is like a drug.

They appeal to women this way through emotion. That's why so many women vote Dem.

Posted by: tubal at December 03, 2025 09:35 AM (pDt9x)


Women have been depliating since Egyptian times. But you inspired a thought - I was reading a bio of the Everleigh sisters, who owned the most luxurious brothel in Chicago at the turn of the century. Their women were plucked for aesthetic reasons, as the Everleighs knew that they could offer what their customers couldn't get at home - "a clean woman."

Is the lack of pubic hair here a subtle suggestion that the ladies here are sisters of the night?

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing (aka Eloquent Depression) at December 03, 2025 09:49 AM (ufSfZ)

86 This is a remarkable painting. Garofalo captures a sense of carnal desire and affection for both the men and women. This is desire, not assault. Their postures are relaxed and natural. The pace seems languid, not rushed. The scene is idyllic. The colors are bright but not garish. It has the conventions of the time with the landscape in the background, sometimes through a window or, in this case, framed by the tree and lovers in the foreground. To my mind, the figures are less wooden, more natural, than is often the case for this period. There is a glowing quality that is lovely.

I don't know what the lizard on the tree trunk is supposed to mean.

I would equate this to the Mona Lisa in style and effect. No doubt more knowledgeable people (almost everyone) would disagree.

136 zaftig

American Heritage® Dictionary
adjective
Having a full, shapely figure. Used of a woman.

Merriam-Webster or less commonly zoftig
of a woman
: having a full rounded figure : pleasingly plump

Cambridge Dictionary
(of a woman) having large breasts and hips and not thin, but in a way that is attractive :
Marilyn Monroe was sometimes called full-figured or zaftig.

Zaftig Has Yiddish Origins
Zaftig has been in use in English—mainly in the United States—since the 1920s; a couple of the earliest known uses are found in Variety magazine, in reviews of burlesque dancers. The word comes from the Yiddish zaftik, meaning "juicy" or "succulent," which in turn comes from zaft, meaning "juice" or "sap."

142 It's fascinating to see these renaissance artists use of skin color, since it's not about race - the men are well tanned and brownish, showing that they work and are active outdoors. For men, it is a shameful thing to be chalky white.
But for women of the era, an earthy color denotes servile status, and those at the top of the social scale were supposed to be indoors constantly, doing nothing but lounging around and waiting for Men to pay attention to them.

Not so sure about that. Being held up as a product of ridicule as a malicious and stupid penis head is probably going to crimp his future career as a pol. The drip drip drip of investigations has also uncovered his tango with the Chicoms making spy balloons which mail in ballots somehow failed to understand when being cast by ballot harvesters in AZ. Would not be surprised, that Kelly, like Gallegos, are both in the pockets of the Mexican drug cartels as well.

The truth is, if you are going to put yourself out in the public glare, you best be as pure as Caesar's wife because all the corruption that Congress critters routinely engage in, gets highlighted in an era where almost no one really likes their politicians anymore.

couple things ..

first off it was a good win. the Ds put a LOT into that special, it was a massive focus for them (their sole focus, really).

second the R guy was kinda bland, but that's ok

third, Blackburn won her race there by 1 point. so he won by 9ish, estimates were 10, he did well.

fourth, recent R-directed redistricting to increase R reps in TN watered down the "Trump Plus Eleventy!" aspect of the district.

overall, we should be happy about this and good for TN. it does show the downside of redistricting, you can dilute your strongholds a bit. some say CA might fall into this trap, who knows.

After the Signal controversy, it should be obvious to everyone that the administration isn't going to allow any outside attacks to land on the highest levels. Yeah, they got a mid-level scalp (whose assistant was probably responsible), but Warren wasn't out calling for Hegseth's resignation to get a guy below him.

I expect some of the lowest levels of turnover in cabinet level positions from this administration.

The Republican won by the anticipated amount. Everyone who was gonna vote for a Dem voted for her but there were more against. All the polling, the stories, the op-eds, the screeching... all of that was designed to make voters believe that she was gonna win so they wouldn't vote.

Media bullshit including those Conservative TM sources on the right. Cook had the district at +10 GOP, Van Epps won by 9. Even turnout was about identical to 2022 when the incumbent Green ran in newish district winning by an outmatched black female in money and general dislike of the Biden WH while the GOP rode a mini Red wave into control of the House.

The massive spending resulted in Dems banking early votes and the typical GOP dawdling to wait for election day voting trend that has become evident. Trump's team, in his overperformance, made a massive switch to embracing early voting in 2024 instead of the wait for election day.

In part, that is because the GOP can no longer rely on busy folks with jobs waiting to vote and being stiffed in places where suddenly ballots run out or the machines jam like in AZ 2022 or in PA for the state Supreme Court retention races.

217 Congratulations to Aftyn Behn. You ran a great campaign against all the odds. It took Trump and all his sycopants to barely win against you! You now have national attention and support for future campaigns!

You can thank Republican led gerrymandering that leads to "cracking" of neighborhoods based on their political leaning (and skin color). Independent Redistricting Commissions are the way forward to give the people an equal voice in the elections...

Meanwhile, from the DNC…crickets in terms of support. I am still baffled by why they are not running media ads hammering every lie Trump is telling.

her campaign was mid when it came to attacking Trump. Instead, the campaign focused on affordability, and then late in the game, the Epstein files, when voters wanted someone to FIGHT Trump.

Seriously, she would have won if she wasn't such a weirdo. Dems need to nominate someone who, at the bare minimum, doesn't go out trashing the community she wants to represent.

Trump and the big money did not win this! Peoples meanness did. corruption, pedophilia, killing people in boats, teargassing one year-old s kidnapping people is what MAGA wants.

Trump overperforms on ballots plus he is in a general election. Van Epps ran within one point of the overall partisan makeup of the district, the so called normal vote, Cooks Political Report, no fan of the GOP, has the district as GOP +10. Cooks has been doing this for years. Van Epps got the generic GOP vote in a district where he was probably outspent and had much less fawning free media coverage than his idiotic opponent.

California, in particular, accepts mail in ballots postmarked or with no post mark received after Election Day. PA Sup. Ct. has done similar crap eviscerating laws designed to prevent fraud and did so in 2020 despite Alito's demand on holding off counting such ballots. And I also have seen locally where blue precincts ignore all the requirements for ballot processing including postmarks, spoilage, and so on.

"When the National Gallery purchased the picture as part of a larger collection in 1860, the director was concerned about the reception of such an erotic painting in a public collection. He sent it to the National Gallery of Scotland, presumably thinking there was a smaller public in Edinburgh and less likelihood of moral outrage reaching the national press. It remained in Edinburgh until 1932."

Nice landscape at the rear but I otherwise he dragged out the painting of today's art selection for way too many years. (The lizard is a cute, colorful touch like a mini reminder of Adam, Eve and the Garden of Eden.)

Only here do we have to wait weeks to find out winners. It’s madness.

294 Special elections are not predictive.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Special elections are more about party organization and do have minor candidate and times effects. Behn was a bad candidate who was probably helped by the fact that the GOP media hits came late after she had banked a large vote share already in early voting. Timing of oppo hits is very different nowadays due to that fact. Needless to say, Democrats are going to go all out in 2026 for hitting Trump and the GOP on affordability--groceries, health care, etc.

The GOP relied on its negative ads in a very generic campaign and counted on the overall partisan makeup of the district for it to work. From what I have gleaned, the local and state GOP did their typical and stupid flyers, robocalls, endorsement, etc until the national GOP swooped in. The fact that snow occurred on Monday rather than Tuesday in TN probably avoided a closer race.

Basically, the state and local GOP do not really want to mobilize working class voters because they are not predictable and might vote populist on ballot issues and split tickets rather than what GOP Inc wants. Plus, GOTV brings in a much lower percentage than mailers, ads, etc

318 A lot of the rot in the local and state GOP organizations is that most of the folks running them have a tight little racket going where the party officials anoint a candidate with ready donor money if that candidate plays ball and hires the campaign consultant friends and follows the GOP campaign playbook. So you have an iron triangle where donors want GOP candidates to do favors for them in office, the party sets up the link between candidates and donors, and the prepackaged campaign consultants make sure that the GOP candidate does not go off the range. Occasionally, GOP party and campaign consultants essentially grift some poor rich sod into running what they privately know is an unwinnable race because the rich sod often finances the campaign. Thus, the task is not necessarily winning, but insider grift, influence peddling, and rich donor satisfaction.

Outsider candidates are kept out by running the splitter strategy, denial and slow walking any party campaign resources, leaks to the press to undermine candidacies, and so on. All in all, it promotes mediocrity, less voter (and party) engagement, and generic candidates.

This goes back to whomever is vetting people like Driscoll. Typically a name is floated, then vetted if there's interest. This person wasn't hired by Trump in person. He was "proffered" by someone else who basically vouched for them.

The people doing the vetting and vouching are at odds with Trump and his administration.

This was (and apparently still is) a real issue with Trump's administration. He's either blind to it, or whoever's responsible for the vetting of appointees is playing for the other side.

Bondi is there in part because previous AGs have let DoJ pros run amuck creating fake investigations of Trump and his colleagues.

AGs follow two patterns, crony and self serving outsider backstabbing bastards out to burnish their own reps for fame and/or money. Nixon is an example that was done in when he moved crony Mitchell from AG to oversee his reelection. That meant you get the Saturday Night massacre when a normal crony AG would know not to appoint an asshole Kennedy associate as special prosecutor in the first place. But Nixon had to work with who the Dem Senate would allow him to have as AG in the second term.

Clinton picked Reno after his crony attempts got shot down including the departure of DoJ asst AG Webb Hubbell and Reno messed up Clinton along with the independent counsel law.

Carter got messed up by his own AGs Civiletti and Bell. And so on.

Obama picked a corrupt Eric Holder on purpose and later Loretta Lynch because neither of them wanted higher office or rep, they wanted to cash in.

369 Trump pardons Cuellar.

For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them. One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to “take out” a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border “Catastrophe.” Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman’s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH. It is unAmerican and, as I previously stated, the Radical Left Democrats are a complete and total threat to Democracy! They will attack, rob, lie, cheat, destroy, and decimate anyone who dares to oppose their Far Left Agenda, an Agenda that, if left unchecked, will obliterate our magnificent Country. Because of these facts, and others, I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda. Henry, I don’t know you, but you can sleep well tonight — Your nightmare is finally over!

Posted by: Martini Farmer
=========
You actually have it backwards. What the administration does is float a couple of names to the Senate after ensuring no criminal records, etc. and the Senators over that particular committee, in this case Armed Services, point to acceptable candidates. In part, this is because the Sec of Army as a civilian has power over DoW or DoD contracting for that service and usually senators specialize in grifting relationships between the defense industry and a particular nominee. That is why Trump went with a former Boeing Exec POS (Esper) as DoD Secretary after his first one, Mattis, ignored orders, etc. on the behest of the Deep State. These are who he could get through Senate Armed Services Cmte at the time.

As always, follow the money and past relationships with Senators on a cmte and figure out what their donors want.

The Morning Report — 12/3/25

Good morning kids. Starting off on a positive note, congratulations to Matt Van Epps for winning the TN special election for the state's 7th District, and to the voters who prevented a truly twisted hardcore Leftist, this Aftyn Behn maniac from heading to Congress. Considering the redistricting meshugas in California, we can ill afford to lose any seats that might hand the House back to the Dems as we head towards the midterms, and the second half of Trump 2.0, and of course nationally in 2028.

Moving on, in yesterday's editorial, I questioned why President Trump from time to time throws all kinds of red meat with the blood still dripping from it out there. In that instance it was his contention that the truly horrid Ilhan "BRO-FO" Omar should be stripped of her citizenship and repatriated back to the gaping bedsore of a nation known as Somalia from whence she oozed. No need to rehash my thoughts on this, as I agree with him on this for sure. (reminder not to comment on old threads to avoid accidental banning) And once again, he threw something out there that definitely caused a reaction, intentional on his part or not:

Somali migrants should go home to fix up their own country, President Donald Trump told his cabinet meeting on Tuesday. “They come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch” about Americans and America, he said, adding:  “We don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.”

. . .“I don’t want them in our country,” Trump told his cabinet meeting, adding: Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks … I can say it about other countries too. We got to, we have to rebuild our country … [Rep.] Ilhan Omar [D-MN] is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren’t people that work. These aren’t people that say, “Let’s go, come on, let’s make this place [Somalia] great.” These are people that do nothing but complain.

Again, I cannot disagree with what the President is saying. But the issue he is skirting around is WHY? What is the reason Somalia stinks? ISLAM, and its Dark Age culture of death and subjugation of those who refuse to submit (which is what Islam mans in English FYI) to it. Mr. President, Bro-Fo Omar did not come here to escape Hell, she and her ilk came here to unleash it on us and transform America and everywhere else they emigrate into Hell.

If you want to throw out red meat, well what I just said is an abattoir primed and ready for you to go to town. Could you not see the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center from the top of Trump Tower? Did you not watch in abject horror what happened at the Munich Olympics in 1972, the Marine Barracks in Beirut 11 years later, and on and on and on.

But that said, there are indeed good and decent people who are desperate to escape the hell of places like Somalia. The estimable and noble Ayaan Hirsi Ali to name but one. The issue was and always has been the proper vetting of people who seek American citizenship and once here the monitoring of them to ensure they become assimilated to the fullest extent possible so as whatever cultural proclivities from their societies of origin cannot ever pose any kind of threat to American society.

Good luck with that, considering there is a very large segment of our own native born citizenry that views this nation as founded as racist and illegitimate in the first place and have been feverishly working to destroy it and seize absolute power to remake it into some other nightmarish hellscape of their own liking. The importation of anti-American, anti-Western ideologies and those who mean us harm in the acquisition of absolute power and control was and is a major weapon in the Leftist arsenal.

As for Islam, all you have to do is peruse the links I have aggregated today alone in that section, not to mention every weekday for nine years now. Be that as it may, arguably the greater threat to the American experiment and our society as we approach our 250th birthday are the native born miscreants and power-mad narcissists with delusions of "Ubermenscheit" who continue to rot at the vitals of our nation.

It's one thing to give Bro-Fo the boot, but how do we neutralize the Newsoms, Pelosis, Randi Weingartens, Ibram X. Krements, Al Sharptons, and all the others like them in our midst?

Okay, I'm done.

Have a good day.

16 why President Trump from time to time throws all kinds of red meat with the blood still dripping from it out there.

Yeah, that will go well in negotiations when the Head of State tells most of the rulers and government in the Middle East that he sees their whole religion and society as a murderous death cult.

Just because Trump throws the bloody red meat out there, it doesn't mean he has to chew it too for whom the meat was intended.

It’s not, and islam is not compatible with the American constitution, culture or societal mores. Its is a “religion” that’s demonstrably made up whole cloth. Its tenets are fundamentally incompatible with individual liberty and a democratic society. It’s authoritarian in its aims, and the individuals it is built upon are easily proven as not only heretical, but evil people with no redeeming qualities. Its claims cannot be proven in any degree that Judaism or Christianity can be, in fact historical inquiries find their main claims demonstrably false. That’s why its main goal is conquest and subversion of a society.

Posted by: Blutarski, Gradually then Suddenly at December 03, 2025 08:07 AM (cxFcK)
===================
You aren't paying attention, because the accusations against Walz, claims that are possibly ending in a criminal referral, are precisely that he aided and abetted the fraud. And not just Walz, but also Keith Ellison, who is recorded on tape explicitly saying he was seeking campaign contributions and, in return, had zero interest in prosecuting the fraud.

103 That article at Frontpagemag on "The Last Time I Saw Vienna" is really depressing. I will never be able to wrap my head around the complete suicide of white people, in particular, to allow themselves and their cultures to be literally overthrown by these demonic savages. And that's what they are. I make no apologies for thinking it. Full blame lies upon the shoulders of the wretched hive of villainy of the politicians themselves for making it happen, but there was a window there when voters could've stopped this entire deadly train from smashing 200mph into the wall without brakes. And now it seems, that window is closed. They not only allowed them in to rape and pillage their countries in all ways possible, but the muslim scum get their asses kissed while they're destroying their host countries. It's astonishing, to say the least.

AWFL's like Welch are everywhere. In my community I know several, though admittedly they don't sound as strident. But just because they sound milder, maybe because they aren't on a podcast, the words shouldn't be misconstrued: they hate America, hate Trump's vision of America especially, and want radical change emphasizing "empathy".

I think a lot of people saw "Nashville" and thought it would be a walkover, because Nashville.

But the upper South is not like Colorado or many Western states, at least not yet, and it'll take awhile to get there.

In some states, *one* big blue city can swing the entire state, let alone some piddly district - so, for instance, in Colorado, every county outside the front range corridor is blood red - it doesn't matter one whit.

The same is true in places like Nashville or Memphis or Knoxville - a cobalt blue city in a sea of red - but there, the population is much more evenly distributed around the State. It's much better suited to resist Marxist takeovers. Knoxville couldn't even swing *its own county* in the last couple elections.

Several years ago, on one of their cruises, Viking offered a stop in Vienna where you could be taught to waltz in the same dancing school the Austrian nobility still send their sons and daughers. I once dreamed of going to the Vienna Opera Ball and dancing with a princess. But like most of my dreams, it will never happen.

176 One thing about Turks is, they do go to jobs, at least. The Arabs these people are bringing in by the boatload never will.

An Arab goes into a hookah bar, and at one point, a gay hipster makes a move on him. "Hey buddy," he says, "ya wanna blowjob?" The Arab goes crazy, beats the crap outta the guy, and tosses him out in the street.

The owner asks "jeez, buddy, what did that guy say to you?"

"I don't know," the Arab replies. "Something about a job."

I saw a report yesterday on Germany. For reference, if your industrial output fell four percent over a decade, it would be bad news. If it fell four percent in a year, it would be very concerning. In a month, it is catastrophic.

Germany's industrial output fell over four percent just in August of this year, and 150,000 manufacturing jobs were lost. Not to worry, they added 60,0000 government overseer jobs to make up for it.

Germany is dead, just waiting for the body to hit the ground.

190 The Dem candidate in 2024 got 122,764 votes. Dems keep shooting themselves in the foot! Van Epps in 2025 currently has 93,536 and will probably get 100,000. Vote! Why can you do it in 2024 but not 2025? Idiots. 

a 5-6% R win in this district is unfamiliar to them. It was 20%+ GOP in 2024. As expected there was a serious shift in voter preference. And this district doesn't care if Trump is on the ballot. They were firmly 20 points + in 2022 and Trump wasn't on the ballot then either.

Poll numbers were off again. So tired of this. A generic moderate Dem probably wins this seat, but the primary voters will never learn what you need to do in these red distr

How can R voters see the last year play out and say to themselves "the country is in such a good state that I will continue to vote for the same thing"

People still need to realize that every election matters. There were still a lot of people that didn't turn out.

Comparing off year turnout to presidential year turnout is a mistake. It's a different dynamic that always produces a different turnout model.

Special elections are sort of their own thing but a much better comparison is with other off years elections where you get mostly people focused on local issues is a much better indicator and yesterday's election in TN is right in line with other off year electionsin TN.

States used to have a system very much like the Electoral College, to prevent large cities from dominating the rest of the state in the legislature. The Supreme Court said they can’t do that. And here we are.

They had the flash 60 years ago. Now we get the “bang”, and most people don’t even know why.

Senators, the Senate, were not just super-duper House members. It was very specifically not intended to be “democratic”, that was the whole point.

No system of government can probably withstand “democracy”, which is rather the point.

He specifically probed whether Platkin received “any complaints that formed the basis of [his] concern about the fundraising activities [by First Choice].”

Iyer seemingly attempted to skirt the senior justice’s question. He began by saying that they “certainly had complaints about crisis pregnancy centers,” but was cut off by Thomas, who more specifically asked about “this crisis pregnancy center.”

In a stunning admission, Iyer acknowledged that the New Jersey AG’s office hasn’t “had complaints about this specific [center],” claiming he “thinks” this was made “clear from the outset.” The answer prompted Thomas to interject and ask, “So, you had no basis to think that [First Choice was] deceiving any of their contributors?”

I'm watching Mr. Scorsese, the new series about Martin Scorsese's life.

The contrast between him in the 70s/80s (he was on coke for only part of this period) and now is staggering. He's just a fat old man now, but he was skinny as a rail before during and after the drug period.

They are the low-propensity, unaffiliated (unofficially, TN doesn't have party registration) voters that Trump probably brought into the Republican coalition but will probably only vote for him or in presidential elections.

It's a representative data point that the electorate hasn't really changed that much in the last 13 months.

But, these special and off year elections are all unicorns that don't have predictive power for future elections. Neither this nor than VA/NJ races will mean anything in 11 months.

The US's nation-building experiments of the past 35 years both failed and boomeranged. They failed in their stated objective, overseas. Then the dweebs in the White House and State Department ran humanitarian ops to get out as many non-enemy people (vetted!) as possible. Those refugees set about nation-building their own mini-nations within the US. Those burgeoning enclaves have become as corrupt, violent, theological, sexist, and racist as the refugees' home nations.

302 The last time a Republican president won the national popular vote before Trump was w in 2004 against Lurch. Time before that was his father 16 years earlier.

Trump is an exceptional national candidate. Despite the left, and maybe sometimes because, throwing everything they had and then some at him he won a massive victory also taking every swing state. It was a dominant performance.

We definitely have to use this race to build for next fall but I don't think judging the results of a first time unknown candidate in an off year House race against the environment when Trump was running against Harris all that relevant.

313 ”But of course this was no warship, and the drug-runners are not signatories to the Geneva Convention. What law does apply?”

The laws of stateless vessels.

The laws of a country extend 12 miles out from its shores. All vessels within that limit are subject to that country’s jurisdiction. Beyond that limit all vessels must fly the flag under whose jurisdiction they are sailing. Someone committing a crime in international waters is subject to the laws of the country under whose flag he is sailing. In addition, that country is responsible for the actions of a vessel flying its flag.

These boats are not flying Venezuela’s flag, and thus Venezuela is not legally responsible for them. They’re not flying *any* flag — so no country is responsible for their actions, but they don’t receive the protections of any country either. They are stateless vessels and, under the law, essentially pirates.

Wonder who had it redrawn; D or R? Because the Democrats have been redrawing districts so they'll win for decades. Only now has the Republican base woken up to this "one little trick" and decided to play that game too.

Well, some of the Republicans. Many just can't bring themselves to win.

344 Exegesis (or the lack of it) is the root cause with Islam. Face it , both the Old and New Testament contain passages that, if taken literally, would make Jews and Christians blood-thirsty terrorists as well.
The acknowledgement that our religious texts are, even if divinely inspired, are written my mortal men, makes it possible for us to "explain away" those passages.
Islam has no such safety valve. When the Koran tells its followers to kill the unbeliever, its followers have no alternative, since it is the actual, unfiltered WORD OF GOD.
Without a reform movement within Islam, we have to recognise, as do the Muslim - even though they won't admit it publicly - that we are in an existential battle.
Then comes the the real battle. How do we conduct an existential battle in a humanitarian way?

I have a different take.

We don't need more laws. We need enforcement of existing laws. And Congress can't really help there.

Trump's deregulatory effort (now 48-1 deregulations vs. new regulations) is going to do more to advance American liberty than anything Congress could ever come up with.

That, plus Trump's aggressive (and wholly legal within existing law) immigration push is what we need right now, not more omnibuses that have a slight sliver dedicated to ending the Department of Education.

Democrats have structural advantages in off-year elections right now. Their coalition is simply more engaged and willing to come out in December of an odd year.

It's what creates the turnout differentials right now.

However, the midterms will see far lower differentials, so if they take the lesson that VA means they can have crazy CIA ladies leading in every race, they'll realize that VA was actually...not predictive of the midterm electorate.

More Republicans will engage in 2026 than in 2025, and all the dreams of winning 80 new House seats will go from "This is definitely happening" to "We never predicted that, you're making it up," real fast.

And while I didn't know Vance was born here, she's obviously a citizen, so there's nothing to be done there.

But just because we've allowed immigration in the past doesn't mean we need to keep making the same mistake forever.

I would like a full, open-ended moratorium on everyone, and repatriation wherever possible. We should also ban dual citizenship for our own people who want it. Pick a country. Preferably whichever other one they love enough to apply for a passport from.

397 Democrat Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi has requested federal assistance to combat gang violence following a mass shooting at a children's birthday party. The incident resulted in the deaths of four people, including three children, and left eleven others injured. Fugazi emphasized the need for federal resources to address the crime, which has been a significant issue in Stockton, with approximately 5,000 gang members and 100 gangs in the city. She proposed an anti-crime and human-development program that would bring various federal departments directly into Stockton to build a safer and more resilient community.

Same, on my dad's side. All the way back to the Mayflower. We watched the recent Ken Burns American Revolution series, and you cannot look at what those men and women did, both to break from UK, but then set about settling this great nation all the way across the west, and then say "Those Afghan refugees {or whatever recent arrivals] are just as/more American that our citizens."

What you are seeing in Van Epps-Behn race is a) he was not an incumbent, b) turnout actually was nearly identical to 2022 midterm and exceeded it slightly when all the votes are counted, c) Behn outspent Van Epps probably about 2:1 which was mainly for banking early D votes.

Van Epps won by about 9 percent in a district where Cooks Political Report (long time rater of districts going back decades) has the district at +10 GOP.

Yep. And the vetting process needs to start with "do you follow Islam"? If they answer yes, then they are rejected. Period.

I think by the time Ayaan Hirsi Ali came to the United States, she was an atheist. Converted to Christianity in 2023.

406 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

Reading for almost 2 hours, and I'm still not through all of the Morning Report's links. As always, it's an excellent, eye opening report.

I understand the following is left leaning. progressive and advocating for certain "rights," but it makes me Q if there's anything the Biden administration "accomplished" that isn't a ticking time clock specifically against PDT & US democracy and diplomacy.

>Center for Constitutional Rights, Afghans Evacuated by U.S. Held or Arbitrarily Detained in 36 Countries; Biden Admin Allows Mistreatment, New Documents Show, Jan. '25

Enclosed is a Briefing Guide about U. S. Government-Facilitated "Lily Pad" Sites aboard holding Afghan civilians awaiting entry into the United States.

Parts of specific agreements are cited. One bullet point reads:

"Further, each agreement between the United States and the named host country we received confirmed the involvement of high-level federal officials in coordinating and overseeing these holding facilities and the treatment of Afghans. Many of these officials - such as Antony Blinken - are featured as the signatories on agreements

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at December 03, 2025 10:09 AM (NFX2v)

407 stipulating the terms, policies, and conditions of the establishment or continuation of third-country facilities. Others are named as points of contact."

A section of the Brief, "Factual Circumstances Surrounding Sites" also touches on the mental health and physical health crises being reported as a result of their "prolonged, arbitrary detention," and fears of persecutions.

Yes, there's some BS in the article and brief. But, again, it brings to light something more for the Trump administration to address on its long list of seriously broken 'stuff' thanks to the seemingly devious & intentional political scheming of the Slow Joe administration and its public and private partners.

Good day

My goal was to simply give a layman's definition of UPF.

As long as ingredients are legal, it's a manufacturer's right to sell what they want.

However, RFKJ's trend of replacing known unhealthy additives with more benign alternatives is a good thing.

But a lot of the people who voted for her didn't know a single thing about her or her preferred policies. We see this every single election when they interview people on street and ask them what they like about candidate X. All they know is that she was the Democrat.

That's why their party becomes more extreme. People who vote Democrat, vote Democrat without consideration. It's reflex.

Probably from twitter. It's good that people can get information but people tend to cement whatever they first hear about an issue in their minds so it also makes it easier to control them.

It's why the left always floods the airwaves with their preferred narrative immediately. They know that a significant fraction of the population will never move off that narrative even if presented with multiple videos of the event, thousands of witnesses, and a signed confession.

Lesson is, keep your head on a swivel and check that rear view mirror. There are plenty of drivers out there that should not be behind a steering wheel.

93 The Superman cartoon is well done. Remember, too, in 1942 "Superman" the concept was only about four years old -- and yet he had already morphed into basically the character we all grew up with, and was already part of the public consciousness.

I bought my first Superman comic, as opposed to the George Reeves TV series, when I was around eight, and the DC comics universe was my favorite entertainment for another three years. Those were grand days of imagination and puzzlement, as Superman, Jimmy Olsen, and Batman had to solve problems and mysteries with fair clues.

George Will is, and has always been, an elitist. He believes in the magic of credentials. He accept that our American Nobility is smarter than the hoi polloi and will always act from a foundation of noblesse oblige.

He was conservative because the Democrats appealed to the masses. They still do but he understands that their position is false. Trump is the populist now and Will loathes populism almost as much as jeans.

Short Film? That could be a multi season sitcom. The beauty of it would be that because it would require different actors for the visualization behind Peter's narration it could all be done in AI.

Which One of You Lost Your Pet Raccoon?

(H/T to our 'ette friend Vendette)

Raccoon gets drunk at Virginia ABC store, passes out in bathroom

doof-drunk-raccoon.jpg

An officer from Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter responded to the store Saturday morning for a report of an unusual break-in. When Officer Martin arrived, she found shelves ransacked and bottles broken on the ground.

The “suspect” was discovered passed out on the floor of the bathroom, and was identified as an intoxicated raccoon, according to the shelter.

Other animal stories

Martin safely captured and transported the animal to the shelter, and the raccoon was given several hours to “sober up before questioning,” the shelter joked in a post on social media.

What would be a good name for this raccoon? Upgraded membership to the best answer!

No Doubts As To The State In Which This Occurred

Florida man dies from choking on live cockroaches in sick eating contest

A man died after choking during a competitive eating contest where he consumed numerous live cockroaches, with a python as the grand prize.

Edward Archbold, 32, from West Palm Beach, Florida, suffered fatal asphyxiation when cockroach fragments obstructed his airway during the 2012 competition.

He fell unconscious and started vomiting moments after taking part in the "Midnight Madness" marketing event at the Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, Florida, reports Mirror UK.

Multiple news stories have recently been posted about this, even though it happened in 2012. Not sure why this is news now, but here we are!

No Clue if The Previous Story Relates to This One

Other than being gross, that is!

What 96,000 adults taught scientists about preventing constipation

Chronic constipation becomes more common with age. Researchers from Mass General Brigham conducted a new study examining whether five widely followed diets could help prevent chronic constipation in middle- and older-age adults. The team monitored more than 96,000 participants for several years to see how long-term eating habits influenced the likelihood of developing this persistent gastrointestinal issue. Their analysis showed that people who routinely ate a Mediterranean or plant-based diet experienced a lower incidence of constipation.

Read the whole thing. Maybe it'll be helpful for you?

Not Exactly What I'd Call "Americana"

Cape Cod estate near Kennedy compound lists for $21.5M

doof-cape-cod-mansion.jpg

The iconic white mansion overlooking Hyannis Harbor, visible to ferry riders traveling to the islands and located next to the Kennedy Compound, has hit the market with a $21.5 million price tag — the highest active listing on Cape Cod.

The 13-bedroom, 12-bath estate on 3 acres includes a main house and a guesthouse at 151 and 155 Irving Ave., with a private beach and landscaping designed by the Olmsted Brothers.

From the water, passersby often mistake the property built in 1914 for the nearby Kennedy Compound, which sits just up the street. Historic photos show the Kennedys sailing in front of the house, and even Jackie Kennedy waterskiing nearby.

***

“It feels like a 4th of July house,” said Grover. “It feels like a real slice of Americana.”

I always imagined simpler things when I heard the word "Americana". Not hoity toity mansions near a compound belonging to an elitist family who is best known for holding elected office. What do I know? Maybe our Masshole Hordelings can set me straight.

I helped a relative dry out from barbiturate overuse once (some nasty/comical hallucinations involved) but I read up on the process to make I wouldn’t advise anything that would risk their health. I was surprised to learn that drying out from alcohol is far more dangerous than most other addictive chemicals.

75 I have to wonder who and why would anyone want a Twoilet? Probably furries?

Read about the Methodist minister announcing his trans-formation from the pulpit. Wearing a rainbow cape thing with his robes.

Then a photo of his new look in full pancake make-up. Sad clowns are now cherished. Pitiful looking man and fake woman. He said it is not about sex (which I don't think about with the creatures anyway). I hope he goes through with the surgery and enjoys the process before the horror sets in. He should be scorned and ridiculed and run out of town with his feather boa and brooch collections.
In NY and a small church. I wonder if anyone got up and left, because I would have.

In the South he would be packing post haste.

142 I read an article somewhere today that raccoons are doing the house cat routine: domesticating themselves. Like house cats did with rodents, the raccoons are spending more time close to humans because they love our trash. One of the signs of domestication is that the ones spending more time rummaging through our trashcans for dinner have shorter noses than their kin with less access to trash. The nose shortening is to make them look more appealing and cute to humans. I wonder how long it takes to housebreak a raccoon.

The problem with silver bullets is that they are not very malleable, which means they won't conform to the rifling of a barrel, so won't get the stability that comes from the spin that rifling produces. Thus, it doesn't matter what type of armament you are carrying, it becomes a musket. You cannot depend on the weapon being accurate at distance, so adjust your tactics accordingly.

Goal? To be in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th for obvious reasons.

Though I am not THAT old to have been there in WWII, I will still attend the ceremonies.

My only claim to fame is taking care of ADM. Nimitz's wife, Julia during her stays at NRMC Oakland or Oak Knoll as it used to be known as a Corpsman back in the 70's.

She had some stories indeed.

The Lone Ranger to the contrary notwithstanding, silver bullets are difficult tho make. High melting temperature of silver makes conventional lead-bullet molds unusable.

Beads of silver shot loaded into a shotgun shell would be quite feasible. I would guess about 3/4 ounce of silver shot would fit in a 12 gauge shell, and should be effective at across-the-room range.

Pre-65 coinage is at around 90% silver, and the weights are (new) at 0.86 troy ounce, or about one ounce Avoirdupois (16 ounces to the pound instead of Troy at 12 ounces to the pound)
Silver and gold are quoted at Troy.

Pre 1982 pennies are 95% copper.

As coins are handled, they wear down and can weigh less

282 The problem with silver bullets is that they are not very malleable, which means they won't conform to the rifling of a barrel, so won't get the stability that comes from the spin that rifling produces. Thus, it doesn't matter what type of armament you are carrying, it becomes a musket. You cannot depend on the weapon being accurate at distance, so adjust your tactics accordingly.

308 AOP, the Lone Ranger made his bullets out of silver dollars so you get that. Pure silver does not engrave like lead, so it won't take the rifling like lead does.
The buddy of mine who cast silver ounces into bullets said they tried a few shots to see how they worked, and he found they didn't shoot well, they all went wild because they would engrave on the rifling, or stripped over it.

FWIW, he said they had to heat the molds pretty hot on a hot plate before casting to get the silver to flow right and cast cleanly

Have any of you worn one? I have a diary if I feel symptoms of any kind. We were watching Eddie Murphy's 1987, "Raw," and I was laughing a lot. I then had a choke laugh with tears over the ending, and am unsure what my heart rhythm shows.

328 By mid-2019, the pistol emoji was rendered as a revolver in the Facebook Messenger, HTC, Mozilla, and Softbank emoji sets, a pistol in the LG and Docomo emoji sets, and a squirt gun in the Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook emoji sets; this remained the case through 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
In July 2024, the pistol emoji on X (formerly Twitter) was changed back to represent a gun, with site owner Elon Musk saying "Nerfing of the gun emoji matches rise of the woke mind virus, as a core tenet is equating fake harm with real harm.”

Galena is lead sulfide, PbS2. It is crystalline (cubic), and quite brittle. Crumbly, even. There is argentiferous galena, with silver substituting for some of the lead.

Pure silver is soft. Not as soft as lead, but softer than copper, and copper will deform into the rifling of a gun barrel just fine.

341 Margin up to about 9 points in TN 7 for the GOP. About 54 to 45 PCT with 1 PCT Indy.

Be curious when all is done with turnout by county. Behn over performed due to millions of Dem bucks spent is my guess while GOP turnout was enough to win.

Turnout was about the same as former incumbent Green's 2022 race of 180k. Difference is that Behn spent her money pooling early votes and Van Epps did not have the 5 PCT or so bump from incumbency that is usual. Behn is hinting at a rematch in 2026 but she probably won't get the money she blew to get close in this race. Probably outspent Van Epps close to 2:1 counting dark money.

Looking at recent past elections:

R v D
2025: 97K v 81K
2024: 192K v 123K
2022: 108K v 69K

So...the Ds continue to get the same or better numbers as they do in non-presidential national elections in these special elections. Which points a bright shining finger at fraud.

It does look like Trump's intervention did get us closer to normal off year turn out here, but the GOP has to figure out how to do this without Trump having to get personally involved.

There is a whole host of complex minerals that are multiple sulfides or sulfosalts of lead, silver, arsenic, antimony, and other metals. Among them are ruby silvers, which have a sparkly metallic luster, but present a pinkish cast due to powdered material on the surface. These metallic minerals are in fact somewhat transparent, and look like ruby-red gems under the reflecting-light microscope. I have samples.

It is worth smelting it a bit harder now, I suspect.

Did you hear about a newer way of recycling rare-earth metals from scrapped electronics? The claim is that flash heating the scrap in a chlorine atmosphere will separate out the various fractions of materials depending on the temperature used.

I'm going to call B$ on this one.

The UK - until this year - had what is known as non-domiciled (non-dom) tax regime. Basically, if you're a US citizen living in the UK, you only had to pay tax on UK-derived income. In the US, by contrast, you paid tax no matter where it was derived in the world. So, Ellen and Portia would pay no UK tax but pay full US tax. Now, however, the non-dom scheme is going away, and all UK residents will now pay tax from wherever the income comes from, just like the US.

Basically, Ellen's leaving because she'll now get tax twice on all her global income - once from the UK and again from the US.

I expect Professor Galloway - who made a big deal out of being a non-dom last year - to quietly make the move back to the US as well.

423 The switch from copper to zinc pennies came in 1982. Chemistry department at the University I retired from used to have a lab where the point was to find the weight of a single penny. They would check out the pennies to the students for weighing and demand them back again. You guessed it, the coins were a mix of copper and copper plated zinc coins. Only the careful experimenter who weighed each coin on a centigram balance would notice the bimodal distribution of weights.

There are a decent amount of white castles around here. The closest is about 5 miles away. Back in the 80's there were less of them, so there was one location that was a frigging madhouse when all the rock/metal clubs were closing for the night. We're talking like 2 am, pretty much every night of the week, and the place would be packed. One night we were in there and a friend of ours orders 100 burgers ketchup only, and starts passing them out to the people in line. lol

227 Silver should be about 1/17.5 of the price of gold based on the relative abundance of gold vs. silver in the crust of the Earth. Last time I looked gold was about 85 times the price of silver per troy ounce, not 17.5 times. So which is more manipulated: the price of gold or silver? I’m betting the price of silver is more manipulated. What do you think?
Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at December 02, 2025 11:01 PM (ZVgZ4)

It's just not a simple question of relative abundance. Gold has a unique cachet as a store of value. ("Demand.") There is also the matter of demand driven by industrial uses for both metals. and how accessible/available/concentrated the deposits are. The relative abundances cited are estimates for the entire Earth's crust.

So, that along with the normal tree which takes almost 3 days to put up because there's 100's of ornaments and 1100 lights, and all of it is in tons of tubs that have to come up from the basement. Then there's the row of ceramic christmas village looking house things that run the length of the fireplace mantle, and the decorations in general for the rest of the house.

473 Gold is interesting because it has relatively few uses. Silver is a better (best) electrical conductor, although gold notably doesn’t tarnish. The female of the species can be attracted by bright shiny objects, so it does have other utilitarian characteristics.

On the attributes of what would make good money, Aristotle mused that it should be rare, though not too rare, durable, portable, divisible, homogenous, fungible, etc. Gold is almost perfect.

Lots of things can be used as money, and indeed have, but they aren’t quite suitable for different reasons.

On a discussion forum about gold I got one leftist to dance around the subject of money, and he eventually eventually asserted that gold is not (and cannot be) money.

I think apparently only the government can decide such things, apparently. Gold is an asset, and (more or less) cannot be made un-valuable by decree. It can be made illegal, not quite the same. The people who suggest stocks are better than told completely miss the point. It’s better to hold gold than cash. The dollar has been relatively immune to contortions in currencies, gold has been making new highs in foreign currencies for quite a while.

481 Understand, Berserker, that I've lived a redneck, white-trash life... ain't no shame puttin' a extension cord out a double-hung window, with thick weatherstrip to fill in the resulting gap.

45.1 percent of the roughly 179,000 votes counted by 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, a closer-than expected result in the blood red district.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia's Phone at December 02, 2025 07:49 PM (vt0Di)

31 From wikipedia

"The meat is considered unsuitable to eat in some areas, while in other areas it is considered an important source of protein. In parts of South America, especially in Venezuela, capybara meat is popular during Lent and Holy Week as the Catholic Church (according to a legend) previously issued special dispensation to allow it to be eaten while other meats are generally forbidden. There is widespread perception in Venezuela that consumption of capybaras is exclusive to rural people."

So that's it - they don't taste good. Lucky for them.

Assuming they beat Indiana, they look pretty good but, you have to play the games. Maybe Julian Sayin and/or Caleb Down gets a season ending injury in the Championship. That would put a different spin on things.

146 Re: Chobani: there's a dark story there. Some Chobani employees abused a young girl, possibly retarded, I'm not sure about that. All caught on film. Her father was told he couldn't bring charges. Their business mattered more than his daughter.

It's a while ago, so I can't guarantee 100% accuracy. But I wouldn't buy Chobani under any circumstances.

147 Interesting in this last ranking they jumped Alabama to #9 and dropped ND to 10. I think this was done so that if UGA beats UA in the SECCG they can drop UA down to 10 and move ND back to 9, because I don't think they want to put the #1 regular season SEC team out of the playoffs if UA loses the conference championship game.

PTSD is when the past keeps coming to the present. It's something that people don't just "get over."

If someone "gets over" a difficult trauma experience, it means they don't have PTSD.

263 Behn was closer than she should have been because district 7 includes a big chunk of metro Nashville, balanced by a coalition of rural counties without many votes, and a couple midsized counties that are solidly R no matter what. Van Epps only won Williamson by a 20 point margin, which is pretty terrible considering how bad Aftyn Behn is. Williamson County is considered one of the most republican / conservative places in the nation, or at least it used to be. What do I know, I only live here.

Preach it. I never thought we'd do better than Reagan in my lifetime. Had to wait almost four decades to get Trump, but I'm alive for it. My kid may be the one to see the guy or gal that surpasses GEOTUS, even though I have high hopes for the people on-deck behind Trumpus.

A combination of hubris and greed; the south Nashville bubble went 78-22 for Behn and it is one of the fastest growing areas in the state as it has places to live for gen z. The outlying counties, even with the Williamson bulwark, are not going to be enough votes if more people of the same persuasion continue to pack into south nashville, and it's a chic place to live now that all the moderately wealthy lib kids have chased out the former residents. It's going to be a problem in 10 years, if not sooner.

There are MANY things that Reagan could be criticized for. I know, because I'm the guy that usually lists them here (I didn't ever list Reagan's hand in creating USAID, however - thanks!). That said, he was the best president in my lifetime, until Trump 1.0. Trump 2.0 is just because God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Depends on what you are arguing. If you're arguing that Trump might have screwed up, other people are allowed to have other assessments. But perhaps we can agree, because Trump can make mistakes.

None of those mistakes make me want another choice in office. That's the bottom line.

I've lost track of the number or times I've cringed over the way Trump said or posted something, but I can't do anything about that. He's not me, he's somebody way more successful than me.

Madonna's got AIDS

The criminal dementia patient Joe Biden will be rewarded for advancing the Sexual Left's radical agenda with some kind of Gay Award.

Former President Biden will receive the Chris Abele Impact Award at the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute's Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, and deliver a rare post-presidency speech.

The award for Biden follows "what LGBTQ+ advocates widely view as the most inclusive administration in U.S. history," as the former president had appointed the most LGBTQ+ officials, restored transgender military service, and reinstated and expanded federal protections, The Advocate reported.

It is "rare" for Biden to give a post-presidential speech for the same reason it was rare for him to appear publicly as president: Because he's demented and dying.

But release Trump's MRI, right?

Jim Jordan and congressional Republicans are probing Jack Smith and other government-weaponizers who spied on them.

House and Senate Republicans targeted by former Special Counsel Jack Smith's subpoenas were gearing up for significant oversight of both the Justice Department and the FBI when their phone records were seized.

This raises questions about whether the subpoenas served a dual purpose--to investigate Jan. 6, as Smith was appointed to do, and to keep tabs on the oversight probes into agency conduct, one former representative whose phone records were seized by Smith suggested.

"They were trying to spy on us to see what we were doing," former Rep. Louie Gohmert told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "And also, I think they were looking for anything that they could use to come after us, or hold over our heads, because, you know, you can intimidate the people that are coming after you."

Michael Douglas's moron son Dylan got embarrassed by Scott Jennings as he burbled out stupid Democrat talking points about the Republicans voting to keep the government shut down.

Dylan must be a Millennial because his parents are now coming to rescue him from a bad interview.

Scott Jennings
@ScottJenningsKY

Michael Douglas and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, are reportedly very displeased over the manner in which their son Dylan was humiliated during a roundtable discussion on politics with CNN commentator Scott Jennings.

The fools are reportedly "furious" that their dipshit no-account spawn was allowed to make himself look foolish without Abby Philip stepping in every two seconds to save him.

Michael Douglas and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, are reportedly very displeased over the manner in which their son Dylan was humiliated during a roundtable discussion on politics with CNN commentator Scott Jennings.

Young Dylan was left stuttering incomprehensibly midway through the interview, which has seemingly become a source of mockery behind the scenes.

Now, according to sources, his parents, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, intend to blacklist the entire network, as they believe CNN crossed the line.

Insiders have informed Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop about Douglas and Zeta-Jones' reaction to their son's disastrous interview on CNN.

The couple is said to be so "furious" with the media outlet that they intend to "blacklist the whole network" moving forward.

On Zeta-Jones' part, she has reportedly been ranting to her friends about how the interview was "unfair and exploitative," seemingly referring to how her son was left stunned and stuttering at some of the questions he was asked.

Meanwhile, Douglas shares the same opinion and has told his close circle that the outlet "crossed a line."

Part of the reason the couple is so angered by the entire situation appears to be that they knew their son wasn't prepared for such a heated debate.

"Dylan's never been spoken to like that in his entire life. He's always been the golden boy -- adored, protected. CNN gave him a taste of the real world, and his parents hated every second of it," said a source.

...

For a while, the two continued engaging in a back-and-forth, but when Jennings began hitting Dylan with statistical figures and facts, the young politics enthusiast was left stunned and unable to defend his stance.

This became especially apparent when the conversation shifted toward the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits, which Democrats said were the reason they would not pass the funding bill.

The politically active son of the Hollywood favorite began stuttering incomprehensibly, a sign that he seemed unsure of what to say.

So, CNN's too conservative for Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones?

Dylan Douglas was born in 2000 making him 25 years old and almost 26.

And this "golden boy" got himself on CNN to spout his ludicrously uninformed nonsense, and it's CNN's fault for "exploiting" him?

He's twenty-five. That's only four years younger than the age I pretend to be. They're speaking as if he's a child, and a developmentally-disabled child at that.

During the height of the covid madness here in Texas the catholic church was pulling in $1,200 to house and feed each illegal that came across the border that were turned over to them by ICE.


They were leasing out entire hotels in south Texas to house and feed them at a fraction of the cost the government was paying them. They were pocketing over $600 above expenses for each illegal they temporarily housed.


They didn't quit until March of this year after Trump turned off the illegal spigot.

they all wiped each other out and only throat cancer was left. So, it moved onto Douglas' tonsils.

205 Minnesota has about 57,000 Somali immigrants according to the most recent census. That means, there are likely over 100,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota.

Unemployment among the Somali working class is over 40%.

So, in Minnesota there are between 23,000 and 40,000 Somalis of working age who don't have a job. So, they have to be getting their money somehow.

My point is that if they crash down on the fraud, and eliminate it...it's going to be interesting to see the reaction. Somalis are Tribal. They don't integrate. So, if a chunk move to another state (say California), the rest will follow. And, their departure will be loud, expensive, and dangerous.

Wow. Good indication that they don't have a good grasp about the God of the Bible.

Purity is not a God-thing. If he wanted "purity" he would have never created things inferior to himself and never bothered with Earth or coming to it.

God accents a principle with similar dynamics. Redemption and Holiness.

Holiness is not purity, it puts the stress on separating...and by implication oneself.

God does not need man to purify things for him, that's directly not what he's about.

He overcomes the World, not by beating it down, but by infusing it with Himself and raising it UP. The Incarnation is the expression of a God who's main theme is to descend, indwell--within the muck, and to raise things out of the muck.

Theirs is a theme of the incarnation turned on its head.

Fascist Government Shows Its Authoritarianism By Responding to Voters' Wishes

Kristi Noem says "We don't want them [third world criminal immigrants]."

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday delivered one of the strongest border-security demands yet of the Trump administration's second term, urging President Trump to enact a sweeping travel ban on "every damn country" sending violent offenders into the United States. Noem revealed the recommendation in a blistering post on X shortly after meeting with the president, saying the nation can no longer accept foreign nationals who, in her words, are "flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies."

Noem framed the proposal as a necessary break from the failed leniency of the Biden years. "Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom -- not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS," she wrote, adding a final line aimed squarely at the countries she argues are exploiting U.S. generosity: "WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE."

A DHS spokesperson told the New York Post that the department will soon publish the list of countries facing new restrictions.

...

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the State Department halted visa processing for Afghan passport holders, a move intended to prevent additional entry from the same channels that admitted the alleged gunman.

It's not just the terrorists, and it's not just the Somali pirates stealing a billion dollars from us and sending it back home to fund Al-Shaabab terrorism against us.

And it's not just Democrat politicians enabling that massive theft and funding of terrorism for Somali pirate votes.

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Monday that Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz allowed the state's massive COVID-era fraud scandal to fester because he sought political favor from the state's large Somali community.

Walz defended his administration Sunday by claiming Minnesota "attracts criminals" and telling the public not to "demonize" the Somali community, even as he faced questions over more than $1 billion in welfare fraud tied to Somali-linked schemes. Appearing on "The Evening Edit," Jarrett said the question many Minnesotans want answered is simple: Why would Walz allow a massive fraud scheme to flourish?

"So if all of this is true, and I suspect it is, the question is, why would he do it? Well, the answer is he was currying favor with the large Somali community where the fraud was largely happening. He was turning a blind eye for political gain," Jarrett told host Elizabeth MacDonald.

Jarrett said state employees allege more than just simple administrative failure.


It's also incompetent third-world drivers paying for fraudulent commercial drivers licenses to kill us on the highways:

Trump also renewed calls to eject Ilhan "Omar" Nur, calling her "garbage," and saying of Somali pirates: All they do is come to the country, steal our money, and then "bitch" about our country.

The US Postal Service tried to fire all illegal alien truck drivers, but soon found that illegal aliens made up such a large portion of the driving force that they had to reverse that policy in order to deliver any mail.

This is insane. Driving is one of the last jobs left available to working class men and we're hiring only foreigners for the jobs.

Thanks to @ComradeArthur for that one.

Meanwhile, New York state -- and "Big Tish" James -- is sheltering over 7000 violent criminal aliens from deportation back to their shithole barbarian states.


he Department of Homeland Security sent a letter Monday to New York Attorney General Letitia James, demanding that she turn over the more than 7,000 illegal migrants that are allegedly locked up in jails and prisons in the state.

Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons claimed that nearly 7,000 illegal migrants, who had active detainers because they allegedly committed thousands of crimes, were released back into the state since January and 7,113 illegal migrants with active ICE detainers are currently locked up in New York, according to the New York Post.

"These are people who are not only in the country illegally, but who have committed additional crimes, including heinous crimes like murder, rape, possession of child pornography, armed robbery, and many others," Lyons wrote.

The DHS said that the migrants are being protected by New York's sanctuary laws, which limit local law enforcement cooperation with immigration agents.

More cultural enrichment:

Why can't the NYPD -- and failing that, the Nat'l Guard -- use some rubber bullets and tear gas? If the anti-ICErs (deICErs?) are getting violent, the law needs to get violent back. If an illegal shoots an ICE agent, ICE should shoot him until he stops moving, and refuse to apologize for it.

I have come to agree with some of the Morons here. No more immigration. Moratorium, for at least two decades. No immigrant visas or permanent alien visas shall be issued. Guest worker visas - like the hated and abused H-1B - must be explicitly prohibited from having a "path to citizenship." You do your specialty short-term work and then go home, and get a princely wage in exchange.

The *only* exception I can see is the EB-1 visa or similar new visa, for truly outstanding technical geniuses. We actually *do* want the next Einstein or Fermi. There aren't many of them. The rest can wait a couple of decades or more.

Benjamin Franklin saw this but modern people aren't even getting temporary safety. They're getting a façade of safety. All so that the globohomo elite can amass a bit more power in their drive to reinstitute feudalism.

As I am not possessed with envy and obsessed with violently killing rich people because they have more money than me, I refrain from saying “working class”, “working people”, etc. That is a phrase which states “Rich people don’t work and need to die”.

50 > It's also incompetent third-world drivers paying for fraudulent commercial drivers licenses to kill us on the highways

CA is right at the center of this whole thing. Their "gig worker" law reclassified owner-operator truck drivers as employees instead of independent contractors. Large carriers and shippers refused to contract with owner operators anymore because they didn't want to have to do all the extra BS required. There was a later injunction, but the damage was done.

Then the CARB and ACT banned older trucks from registration in CA unless they did emission retrofits.

This opened a massive hole in the labor force that CA filled by giving any illegal with a pulse a fake CDL.

This is the difference between being affluent and being wealthy. You can be affluent and flat broke. I know a bunch of people like that. You can be middle-income - or even no income at all - and be quite rich. There are fewer of those, but still many of them.

Different problems and priorities to be sure, but that also *shouldn't* matter because the state shouldn't be incentivizing some at the expense of others ("picking winners and losers").

Trump doesn't have to say much at all - let the superstars talk. It creates the idea of a team, of activity, of working hard. It's not all about Trump. And it shows they are all on board.

We do this in business - the meeting is about pushing things forward - you know the meeting is coming and you are expected to say what you accomplished, then you start working hard to accomplish stuff so you can say it at the meeting.

Contracts as I understand it, are let out to companies or individuals who do a bidding process to qualify. The routes are managed by a supervisor, and the mileage is fixed, and the fuel and maintenance cost is set for a year. A rise in fuel prices or parts will beggar a contractor. One way to minimize costs is to hire cheap drivers. Contracts, if the rural carriers are an example, are for one year.
If the companies say "no se puede" and offer to void the contract, then the USPS has to either find more expensive drivers to fill the holes, or deliver between cities by foot.
I don't think the USPS is hiring illegals directly, at least not if there is a hiring process like they used to with background checks and all.

However, 0.99 represents a difference from 1.000→ and it is not just notation to add another '9' to the end.

Meanwhile, Mathematical induction would actually illustrate that it if it's true that 1.0 - 1e-k <=/=> 1.0 and true that 1.0 - 1e-(k+1) <=/=> 1.0, it suggest that it is true for every increment of taking 90% of the difference. All N > k + 1.

The idea that we can add "uncountably many" is part of framework of Mathematical theory, no doubt. But can you see the case that "uncountably many" invokes an ignorance?

119 Long tweet: Why blow up narco boats?

https://tinyurl.com/5bardeav

Green Beret Nap Time
@GBNT1952
Many of you have no ability to look at a situation strategically and it shows.

Destroying narco trafficking vessels in international waters from standoff range is not just tactically efficient—it is strategically advantageous.

When we eliminate these boats without risking our own service members, we force narco terrorist trafficking organizations to immediately adapt their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Every adjustment they make, whether in routing, vessel type, communication methods, or timing, creates new intelligence that helps us map their networks more accurately.

They cannot simply stop moving product, so the pressure exposes how they reconfigure themselves under threat.

It's not actually an obsession with class, it's an obsession with possessions and lifestyles. Each person imagines different economic classes in a different way in their own head and most people lust to be in a higher class as long as they don't have to exert effort to get there.

That, of course, provides the envy which the Marxists exploit... oh, the bourgeoisie have more than you and you work so very, very, hard. It's just not fair. Vote for us and we'll take from them and give to you. But the voter doesn't give a shit about 'class', they just want some free shit.

If the companies say "no se puede" and offer to void the contract, then the USPS has to either find more expensive drivers to fill the holes, or deliver between cities by foot.

Someone here did a rundown on it. They are sham companies brother -in-lawed by Sikhs running barely passable trucks. They have a problem them move on.

The insurance on those trucks is outrageous. Think about your insurance and multiply it by the size and dollar of damage it can do not counting the freight.

This is the problem of myopia--people act in a society and usually in the presence of some sort of ruling structure. Too much attention to individuality means you permit asocial assholes to behave like assholes because that is their culture. Too much attention to groups, then you automatically assert a general proposition about all members of such a group. There is a happy medium and that is when a group mostly demonstrates undesirable qualities as a general rule, then something should be done about it.

Same with an individual who repeatedly demonstrates asocial qualities ( a criminal for example) then society and law have a right to compel them to stop. We have the equal protection of laws for protection of groups (religion has the 1st Amendment), and we have due process to protect fairness for individuals.

Marx yammered about the starving workers vs evil factory owners. In the real world there are plenty that can't live off their savings/property but are not abjectly poor. That would be the middle class. You can split it into upper and lower segments if you like, but you are getting into handwaving. You mix things up more as your evil business owners merge down to small businesses, mom and pop and family operations.

The media immediately went into protection mode and said that the statistic was taken out of context. Except, that figure was likely about half of what it should have been because a significant number of illegal immigrants here at present were not even registered for a court date. They just slipped into the population.

I can prove that if there are finite increments to k, and by that definition finite increments to k + 1, "trans-finite" numbers are unreachable by the "Successor-of" relationship which, in some useful schemes, defines the actual concept of what we are dealing with.

Lighten up Frances.

It is a heuristic, not destiny for an individual and useful in some but not all analyses when you have employ typologies to get anywhere.

Employed, unemployed for example. Welfare recipient, non welfare recipient, even race when one is dealing with anti discrimination laws.

Most of what legislation in statutes is for groups and classes-barbers and beauticians for example require licenses, if you try to cut other's hair for money, then you best have a license or the state will come down on you. Same with entry or exit to the US, have a passport. Non passport holders get treated differently by law and regulations for a reason.

And that is simply because the state lacks the ability and resources to treat everyone as an individual in every single matter. And most people probably wouldn't like it if the state did. Same as no one really wants perfect 'justice' when applied to them.

So whinging about whether or not someone uses a term you don't like by calling it Marxist thus taboo is silly.

And in practical terms, one is limited by the degree that one can measure accurately.

That is why mathematics often can postulate but have no predictive power in reality--mathematicians can make the math work but its application to an accurate description of observable reality can be tenuous or even non existent as string theory probably is.

There is a reason that Sabine Hossenfelder left academia--in part, mathematicians have been colonizing physics which in turn has led to an increasing divergence of what the math says and what the observable reality is.

It is a heuristic, not destiny for an individual and useful in some but not all analyses when you have employ typologies to get anywhere.

Employed, unemployed for example. Welfare recipient, non welfare recipient, even race when one is dealing with anti discrimination laws.

Most of what legislation in statutes is for groups and classes-barbers and beauticians for example require licenses, if you try to cut other's hair for money, then you best have a license or the state will come down on you. Same with entry or exit to the US, have a passport. Non passport holders get treated differently by law and regulations for a reason.

And that is simply because the state lacks the ability and resources to treat everyone as an individual in every single matter. And most people probably wouldn't like it if the state did. Same as no one really wants perfect 'justice' when applied to them.

So whinging about whether or not someone uses a term you don't like by calling it Marxist thus taboo is silly.

The further I went up in Mathematics, the more I was acquainted with having to settle for indeterminism.

It's funny though, I have been around countless mathematicians, far more capable than I, who gloss over indeterminacy as a type of admission and humility of what can be known.

It's kind of embarrassing to admit it's "ignorance" in the "Age of Knowing".

The blind optimism and triumphalism that Bertrand Russell showed in appendix of his 1902 book The Principles of Mathematics, kind of explain his near-suicidal embarrassment in grasping Goedel's abrupt quash to all that nonsense.

Yup.
There's a rider on all commercial polices that requires the insurance company to cover any trucks by that company.
So they get the commercial policy on a legal truck.

The Darien Gap.
It's where's the Pan-American Highway ends because the area is jungle and swamp. If the gap didn't exist you could drive from Canada to Argentina.

It used to be basically impassable, but with the migrant waves of recent years it's got UN refugee camps and the local native tribes act as guides for pay through some trails.

I doubt it's as active now thanks to Trump cutting off the flow, but the gap is not as treacherous as it used to be.
It's still a big choke-point, though.

As someone that used to do substantial empirical models, that goes without saying. For the most part, the difficulty is not in determining groups but whether or not a concept is useful. Sometimes it is in there simply as a statistical control variable. For example, surveying political attitudes in an electorate. Like it or not ethnicity affects voting patterns of groups.

In a sense, all such groups in social sciences are heuristics whether we are using states as the key dependent variable, historical eras, etc. Plus one can often have different ecological issues--what is true at one level may not be true at another.

In essence, all social science is probability based because it has to be. About like track odds at a horse race. The better models predict and explain. The worst models simply explain after the fact (e.g. the horrible post 2012 GOP post election analysis).

As the Media Insists That It's Illegal To Shoot Missiles at Foreign Terrorist Drug Boats, They Also Claim That It's Okay to Shoot National Guardsmen If You Object to Their Presence

At some point, the left will have the shooting war they crave.

Charles C.W. Cooke:

Responding to the news that a crazed asylee from Afghanistan had shot two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., the New Yorker's Jane Mayer concluded that the attack was "so tragic" and "so unnecessary," before proceeding to identify the real culprit of the abomination: President Donald J. Trump. "These poor guardsmen," wrote Mayer, "should never have been deployed."

In this ugly asseveration, Mayer was swiftly joined by a bunch of other political commentators, each more desperate than the last to train their fire on the current occupant of the White House. In The Atlantic, Juliette Kayyem wrote that "there are costs to performatively deploying members of the military, one of which is the risk of endangering them." On Twitter, the author John Pavlovitz explicitly proposed that "Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are culpable for endangering the National Guard by putting them in harm's way." Not to be outdone, MS NOW's Ken Dilanian followed this path to its revolting terminus by suggesting that the guardsmen were "walking around with uniforms in an American city," that "there are some Americans that might object to that," and "so, apparently, this shooting has happened."

As with Charlie Kirk: The victims brought their murders at the hands of leftists upon themselves.


I'm sorry . . . what? In what possible universe could that be an appropriate response? Washington, D.C., is a federal city over which the federal government has plenary control. If, as has been the case this year, the federal government decides that it is necessary to deploy federal agents to enforce the law, it is permitted to do so without the expectation that those agents will be murdered. Certainly, the American social contract has become more complicated over time than it was back in 1787, but at no point has it come to tolerate the proposition that officials who have been sent to keep the peace should expect to be gunned down by assassins if their deployment is disapproved of by the progressive intellectual class. Politically, one can believe that Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard was a good one, a bad one, or a middling one and that postulate will not change one whit. Whether they are there to pick up trash, fight an alien invasion, or solely to smile for foreign tourists, there is no circumstance in which killing them is appropriate.

Meanwhile, ABC "News" under George Sloppadopoulos and the Gay Model says that the Motive May Never Be Known, but right now we can confidently say that he shot those National Guardsmen not because he is a foreign Islamic terrorist and not becuase he was programmed to kill by a traitor media that justifies the murders of its opponents, but because... of Trump's economy.

He was feeling financial stress you guys.

8 Responding to the news that a crazed asylee from Afghanistan had shot two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., the New Yorker's Jane Mayer concluded that the attack was "so tragic" and "so unnecessary," before proceeding to identify the real culprit of the abomination: President Donald J. Trump. "These poor guardsmen," wrote Mayer, "should never have been deployed."

This is a very useful - and general - approach.

"It's sad when cops get shot, but cops never should have been sent into those ghettos"
"It's sad when terrorists in SUVs drive through Christmas parades, but those cities should never have authorized parades where someone was Driving While Muslim"

Suddenly the "short skirt defense" is back in vogue...

On the other hand, Americans these days are a lazy, cowardly people, who are primarily interested in keeping our illusions of wealth going.

If we were going to start shooting, it should have been when government and our employers demanded we subject ourselves to dangerous genetic experimentation (to avoid catching a cold) and made the main goal of public education the transing of children. To date: nothing.

this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.

I actually like her music. But I don't base my views on morality from a singer who is implying she's giving a guy a hummer on her album cover. Or one who wrote songs about loving a manchild, or a guy she knows is bad and hopes he won't prove her right. Or implies she stole a guy's credit card in her Espresso music vid and committed credit card fraud on his dime. Yes, that paragon of virtue.

Iron in breakfast cereals is literally tiny bits of pure metal iron pasted into the flakes. You can pull them out of your wheaties with a magnet. In use as hemoglobin, say, it is bound with a long chain carbon molecule with a particular shape that can hold oxygen.

Other stuff in vitamin capsules may be in a non carbon molecule when ingested if its something the body can use without being poison or something.

There's an interesting dynamic going on with the Russia/Ukraine Peace process. The EU leaders are absolutely livid that Trump has cut them out of the process entirely. Their primary goal is to have the conflict continue. But, if it is negated, they wanted their mugs plastered across the media for being a part of the process. They are doing their best to sabotage the efforts because they won't benefit from a peace result that doesn't include them sapping up the credit.

I suspect that this is a non-negotiable condition laid down by Russia. And, he probably didn't have to work very hard to convince Trump.

It *is* largely political, but not for the reasons the naysayers imply.

What I have found notable about the various NG deployments is that most of the time, they actually don't do much. Most of what they appear to do is, in fact, simply "showing up." The real heavy lifting is done by the local cops, as commanded by suddenly very nervous local politicians and police chiefs.

And *that* is the real - and devastating - thing about the NG deployments. These cities *could* have been peaceful at any time the local political and police heavies decided to, they just didn't decide to. America's notorious violent shitholes could have been a lot better for a long time, but nobody was willing to do so for whatever reason. Corruption, ideology, etc. - many explanations, but only one real conclusion: it's bad because they want it bad (or, at least, it's bad because they don't care to make it better).

As Trump told Zelensky as well, Europe has no cards to play in Ukraine. They have no troops to speak of and their economy is tanking. Ukraine's ability to even hold a stable front is declining and Russia can punch out some strongpoint and engulf it only subject to safely getting supplies to the line. This will only get worse as the region fortified since 2014 is occupied and open lands are left to defend.

Trump wants the endgame to be at a conference table rather than on the ground, but either way it is going to be on Russia's terms. The EU and Ukraine are still delusional.

Many of those urban elites were friends of the Crown because the Crown relied upon them to put down their fellow countrymen. Twas not forgotten after the war.

I would say it's the problem of "everything looking like a nail".

You can "work smarter, not harder". That much is clear.

And this occurrence creates the econiche intellectuals live in. However, that some things can be improved by some "re-examinations", does not mean that every act of rethinking contributes to "working smarter".

But academics rely on a overabundance in the skill of re-thinking in relation to physical effort. Thus academics rely on the hype of re-thinking.

Thus there is a bias toward ignoring real world complications for the simplification to a theory. And to hype it all the while you're doing it.

It was one of the gains of actual Science that produced measurable gains through theory. But again, the overgeneralization that all Science endeavors are equally profitable creates another econiche.

200 In case you're wondering how well-founded the Deep State thinks the obscenely corrupt dismissal of the charges against Comey were, they are still in DefCon 1 toward killing the case.

Current development is demanding that the electronic evidence, which the government legally seized years ago, cannot be "re-accessed" without a new warrant.
To be clear:
It was legally in the possession of the government.
And it remained legally in the possession of the government.
But, since the warrant it was seized under was some time ago and didn't say "to seize information related to all crimes of James Comey" it can't be "accessed" again by the government.
You know, like if the police search a house for tax evasion and find a bloody knife w/ your fingerprints next to a dead body, they can't use the knife in your murder trial.

If you don't understand why, it's because you stupid and didn't go to Harvard.
Which means, yes, the clown judge is going to rule in favor of Comey's friend and exclude the evidence ....

When I first tried out AI bots, I was impressed with how much it was able to do.

Then I learned how to give better prompts and make it more useful. Then I hit its limitations again.

I think the market generally reacting to the same successes and failures of AI as it stands today. On the surface, it's like magic. Then you dig in and you find issues. But it's still much more useful than many of its detractors seem to think.

The better question is whether China will risk attempting to project force to a location half a world away to protect its financial interests and maintain the value of properties it financed.

They certainly weren't when Sri Lanka fell, and that would have been much easier than Central America. China can't really project force all that far. That is the basic problem with Belt and Road and its related programs. If the property fails or gets expropriated, Red China essentially can't take it over.

---
There's a well-known tactic to fraud; to compartmentalize the actors.
The Seditious Six did not know the whole plan; only "make this video." Which they eagerly did b/c, their minds, it's a mild jab at Trump but fully legal.
Last week, they were floundering, flopping for an answer to "what orders were/are illegal?"
One attempt was to retcon some fabrication from Esper's book, that Trump asked if he could order the Guard to "shoot BLM protestors in the legs."
No one read the book and no one had verified that quote.
The "kill them all" was to be the illegal order.
But, I think they had to deploy that early b/c of the shooting; it was to be rolled out after weeks of denial from Trump and Hegseth.
It's always a Watergate replay w/ the left ....

Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew

Nov 29

Wayyy too much coordination on the new manufactured narrative about Trump showing signs of aging.

Wayyy to much coordination on WaPo story about strike on drug boat.

Does no one remember 2017-2018??

This is a redo -- facts don't matter to media, only narrative matters.

Facts that don't fit the narrative don't get published.

The NYT admitted it as an EXPRESS policy. There was no "neutrality" -- Trump was such a threat to how they wanted the Govt to work that driving him from office what the overriding consideration.

The media and Dems were back on their heels for 9 months.

Now that his approval numbers have been talked down, they think he's vulnerable enough to go after him with falsified reports to drive a narrative.

I've seen this movie -- and I paid attention when the credits ran.

Experts say!

Brian Stelter
@brianstelter

The NYT produced a seemingly undeniable report on Trump showing signs of aging. The story was data-driven, almost clinical, proving that Americans see Trump "less than they used to" and that "his battery shows signs of wear."

Trump is trying to deny it anyway.

The data is that Trump usually scheduled his first event of the day at 10:30 am in his first term, but now the average first event starts at 12:08 pm.

Obviously then, based on this seemingly undeniable data-driven almost-clinical evidence, Trump is unfit to serve.

You'll notice that that's Noted Truth Merchant Brian Stelter saying that.

Who claimed Biden was fit as a fiddle and video showing him stumbling and bumbling and wandering and fondling were all "cheap fakes."

The seriously retarded fraud co-conspirator Tim Walz claimed Biden was "fit for office," but now gurgles that Trump must be removed from office due to health.

"Release the MRI," he says.

I'd like to see this fat retard's medical records. He looks pretty unhealthy to me, and his brains are rotten garbage.

So... is any of this true? Is it true that the guy who seems to always be doing something, speaking to reporters, negotiating peace deals, etc., is really running out of energy?

Well no, of course not, it's another fucking traitor media lie.


President Trump has been clocking 12-hour days this month, according to internal White House documents shared exclusively with the New York Post, an unusual disclosure meant to swat down a New York Times storyline that the 79-year-old president is showing "signs of fatigue." The unpublished logs, spanning 10 weekdays between Nov. 12 and Nov. 25, show Trump working roughly 50-hour weeks -- not counting weekend duties, pre-dawn phone calls, or the after-midnight bursts of activity his staff has come to expect. Far from slowing, the records depict a president driving hard on trade and immigration reforms, pushing for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, and overseeing the most extensive White House construction effort in decades.

The schedule stands in stark contrast to the Biden era that Americans still remember vividly, when the previous president's staff routinely called early-afternoon "lids" and shielded him from public view on days when he appeared visibly drained. Biden, who left office at age 82, was widely understood to be fading cognitively long before he stepped aside -- a reality even many Democrats eventually acknowledged. Trump, by comparison, is presenting a workload more reminiscent of his first year in office, with the private logs showing a relentless pace from morning into late night.

On Wednesday, November 12 -- the day Congress ended the 43-day government shutdown -- aides documented 32 meetings and calls. Trump began with a 10:30 a.m. staff session in the Roosevelt Room and moved straight into a gauntlet of calls with Vice President JD Vance, Staff Secretary Will Scharf, lawmakers, judicial nominees, and business leaders. He ended with a 7:45 p.m. dinner with Wall Street executives, a bill-signing event after 10 p.m., and a late-night meeting with a corporate executive at 10:40 p.m. Notably, none of this includes the off-schedule calls he is known for taking at dawn and well past midnight.

The next day brought another 17 meetings and calls over eight-and-a-half hours. He met with Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Counsel David Warrington at 10:39 a.m., conferred with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, reviewed intelligence, sat for a "pre-brief" with speechwriters, signed an executive order alongside Melania Trump, granted a media interview, spoke with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, and joined a 6 p.m. tele-rally for Tennessee congressional candidate Matt Van Epps.

The old op was this: Trump's boundless energy was not a sign of good health, but proof that this famous teetotaler was an amphetamine addict.

I actually was open to the idea he was popping uppers. How else to explain the constant energy? (It also made me feel better about being Low Energy Ace.)

Now that op's usefulness is expired, so the new op: Trump is so tired you guys, seriously you guys, he may work 12-hour days but you can see that sometimes he gets fatigued.

You don't say. You don't say.

Karoline Leavitt is not having it:

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called out The New York Times and its White House reporter, Katie Rogers, for suggesting that President Donald Trump is cognitively unwell after previously defending former President Joe Biden's health.

Rogers and journalist Dylan Freedman authored a story on Tuesday titled, "Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities Of Aging in Office," which suggested that the 79-year-old president has made fewer public appearances and has appeared tired in comparison to his first term. Leavitt denied these allegations, and pointed out that the story is by the same reporter who defended Biden's cognitive health after his fall on Air Force One in March 2021.


"I will point out one fake news story over the weekend before I let you all go from The New York Times that took about one-third of the president's daily calendar and his daily schedule and said that he's doing less than he did in his first term or he might not be fit for the job. That is unequivocally false and it's deeply unfortunate that this story was written by the same outlet and the same reporter who wrote this. 'Biden is doing 100 percent fine after tripping while boarding Air Force One,'" Leavitt said.

"Oh, same outlet, same reporter who wrote that President Trump is not fit for the job. Are you kidding me? You all see him almost every single day. He is the most accessible president in history," Leavitt continued.

Absurd ancient lefty Lawrence O'Donnell is likewise insisting that Trump, who is only a bit older than O'Donnell, is unfit to lead.
The left has a particular obsession with Trump's hands. Here, a picture shows Trump carrying excess water in his hands. Now that's not healthy but they guy is almost 80 so there are going to be circulatory problems.


The left takes this as proof that he's mentally incompetent:

What makes that Xeet funny is that this "Madeleine Hays" is the White House operative who blocked Biden from speaking to reporters during the Easter Egg Roll.

Yes, Madeleine Hays, who now says Trump is too old to serve, was the woman who blocked the Cognitively Gifted Biden from having a simple conversation with reporters blocking his body while dressed in an Easter Bunny costume.

Here's video of the Easter Bunny Body Block.

And here's proof that it was Madeleine Hayes in the Easter Bunny Praetorian Guard costume.

She's not buying it:

RedWave Press
@RedWave_Press

Batya Ungar-Sargon on the FAKE NYT article: "Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office": "I just find the story hilarious… This is the most effective president of my lifetime. The next president is going to get half as much done. So whatever is going on with him, he seems to me to be very virile, but he is extremely, extremely effective. He has done so much. He has revolutionized this country both in terms of foreign policy."

"I think a lot that comes from a place of compassion for forgotten Americans. And so to me to see people sitting around being like, oh there must be something wrong with it, we should all be so lucky to be this effective."

"When we are half his age."

Is Trump not, like Biden, a "super-ager"?

What happened to "super-agers" and the reassurance that rich guys with access to today's medicine stay health and cogent well into their 80s?

Oh, I guess that was an op, too.

Update: Release the MRI? Okay, we have.

The White House on Monday finally shut down the weeks of Democrat-fueled gossip about President Trump's health, releasing the full memo on the MRI that sent the press into a frenzy -- and the findings couldn't be clearer. Trump, at 79, is in "excellent overall health," with imaging results that his physician described as "perfectly normal."

Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president's Navy physician, said the scan taken during Trump's Oct. 10 visit to Walter Reed was nothing out of the ordinary -- a standard, preventative test for men in his age group. He explained that advanced imaging is used to catch issues early and confirm long-term cardiovascular and abdominal health. And in Trump's case, Barbabella wrote, everything came back clean.

"President Trump's cardiovascular imaging is perfectly normal," Barbabella reported. No narrowing of the arteries. No blood-flow issues. No abnormalities in the heart or major vessels. Heart chambers normal. Vessel walls smooth. No inflammation. No clotting. In short -- a textbook-strong cardiovascular system.

The abdominal MRI showed the same result. Barbabella said "all major organs appear very healthy and well-perfused," noting zero signs of acute or chronic concerns. Every organ evaluated was operating within normal limits.

No reasonable person can look at Trump and think the guy's not in great shape. He's witty, he's sharp, he's constantly on the move, and he's got more energy than people half his age. In that golf vid with Gretzky, Trump even looks like he might have lost a few pounds.

Normal people hear Democraps' endless caterwauling about Trump's health and think "these guys are fucking retarded." The audience for this isn't normal people. It's deranged paranoid hysterical fart-suckers that make up the base of the Democrap party.

I hesitate to counter Whig here, but I just spent some time speaking with politically connected people on the IN redistricting. The House is ready to vote on the map - they just were angry being tongue whipped by Trump. A fair number of Scot-Irish ancestry here and they typically rebel at being pushed. The Senate is another story. This is where the GOPe contingent has a remaining power base. There are some genuine concerns of that is not how we operate going on. The one state senator shown to be on the take has only ensured he won't be re-elected. Democrat warnings of how they will try and stop this are ridiculous - there are GOP supermajorities in both bodies.
One question - getting to 9-0 seems a stretch. The map released will wipe out Carson-D in Indy. NW Indiana is another story.

Interesting Takeaway:

"Who can contribute to a Trump Account?
Children, parents or guardians, grandparents, family members, friends, and employers (with the first $2,500 per employee per year excluded from the employee’s income) may make contributions. Additionally, qualifying charitable organizations and government entities (e.g., states, tribes, localities, etc.) may make contributions for all children in a “qualified class” (e.g., all children born in a year, all children in a state, all children nationwide, etc.)."

So Bill Gates via Microsoft could contribute to accounts to kids just in WA state if he wanted. Or Silicon Valley in CA, Disney in FL, etc.

100 I hesitate to counter Whig here, but I just spent some time speaking with politically connected people on the IN redistricting. The House is ready to vote on the map - they just were angry being tongue whipped by Trump. A fair number of Scot-Irish ancestry here and they typically rebel at being pushed. The Senate is another story. This is where the GOPe contingent has a remaining power base. There are some genuine concerns of that is not how we operate going on. The one state senator shown to be on the take has only ensured he won't be re-elected. Democrat warnings of how they will try and stop this are ridiculous - there are GOP supermajorities in both bodies.

I don't take it as contradictory. What Trump has done here has highlighted GOP state legislators and what they do. Opposing redistricting could lose them seats and no state legislator likes that.

They can claim muh independence or whatever but the basic fact is that if they do not do it, then they are in fact advantaging the Dems whatever their personal reasons.

151 Never let it be forgotten what people heard from Biden and never blinked.

He said on national TV, on a CBS broadcast that he promised Obama, that if Harris and him came to loggerheads, he would "fake an illness and step down".

He never stepped down for true degradation, probably because the people behind the scenes found Harris to NOT be a better choice.

But if you can hear those words, and think everything is alright until "Joe's decline", you might be a Democrat.

I think you are on the right track. But it goes beyond that to include immigration, entitlement reform and all the pieces the uniparty used to retain power. Elections had become a somewhat shiny object with results often baked into the cake because of all the somewhat hidden advantages they had put into place and Trump is torpedoing all of them.

Trump is the first non-swamp president we've had since Reagan and he is coloring much further outside the lines than Reagan. They are terrified of him because he's not terrified of them. If you step back from the day to day bullshit it's remarkable how much he's changed the world in a relatively short time.

It was about that way anyway in part because America has become polarized in politics, in part because of GWB and the Iraq War, but more because the US economy (or those of the West in general) has not been beneficial to average citizens. Since the 1960's-70's, the West has seen a few citizens benefit exceptionally from moving to financialization and service based economies, a large upper class that has comfortably increased their worth, and a middle and lower class that is struggling while everything becomes worse for them. The poverty class, however, often makes more from government benefits (PA state report averaged total benefits more than 70k per year during Obama years) than actually working. This props up the Dem pols of ruling class by vote farming. GOP has issued platitudes prior to Trump.

I'm sure some of the senators fit that description. But politics is a complicated business. It will pass the House - probably with unanimous GOP votes. The purging of the old guard GOP in the Indiana legislature is not unlike the purge going on in congress. The House with shorter terms and/or smaller districts move first. All the energy is in the House. Making abortion illegal, greenlighting universal school choice, going after the medical establishment charge masters, wiping out DEI, taking more direct control over the big public universities, is bubbling there.
The Senate is slowly morphing in that direction, but its not there yet.

My personal theory is that these ops are now being orchestrated and financed directly by foreign actors. High on that list is, of course, China. But, don't discount the Central and South American countries. They are the ones receiving the most negative results of a Trump presidency.

Posted by: Black JEM

I used to deal with state legislators and federal before that and all of them want to be reelected. You might enjoy David Mayhew's the Electoral Connection to describe their actions. Any issue or person, whether governor or president, that makes them take hard votes is resented because it might be the vote that causes them to lose power. Same with US Senate GOP not getting rid of the ridiculous and unconstitutional blue slip policy nor changing the filibuster rules for ordinary legislation. It is because GOP desires to avoid hard votes to stay in office and power but disguised as principles.

Essentially our legislative political system has become constipated and unable to actually reform itself because of accumulated outdated laws, rules, and understandings. Our system is also fraught with legalized bribery via donors and government largesse to ngos, jobs to nepots, etc.

It has to change or it will fall. And usually regime failures do not promote a better system but worse. Venezuela is a perfect example as it had its own corrupt uniparty with similar problems before Chavez.

I am 40 years Trump's junior, and I doubt I could keep up with him. That was also true *last* time. I doubt he's going to suffer a long decline like Biden has. When he goes, he's going to go all at once. He has no excess reserves. I know (knew) another old man like him. Slept six hours a night and was out working on his car and felling trees well into his 80s. Then he started taking a daily nap, then it was over inside of a year.

But the whole purpose of oppressor oppressed Marxist tripe is to give permission to the new diversity types to lord over the others as sort of some demented payback for imagined and real grievances suffered by other people.

And the House while being very angry and active - also has lifers budding - but right now they are being very attentive to the voters, and not the State Chamber, or the Hospital lobby, or Big Ed. They are often small business owners, and it is a part time legislature, you don't get paid very much and only work real hard in a budget session (every other year).

256 Why can't the media do an actual story that the Lockdown was the closest thing to fascism America has ever seen?

What is fascism? It comes from Gentile's "Actualism" that "reality" only exists as the outcome from an action. The State embodies collective action. And the State is given as much power as needed to solve the problems as identified and prioritized by the State.

Covid-19 is your "problem". And the only pushback on "as much power as deemed needed" came from the courts citing laws (Thank God for that.) and governors.

If we're "worried about fascism", perhaps we should look at who still thinks 2020 is a "good idea". Who thinks it's still thinks it's a good idea to be "All in this together" (fasces symbolism), keeping people home until they have the government document to move about, or restricting people from the (just recently) "human right" of healthcare without sticking experimental substances in their body?

Self-interest is a law of human nature that your academic theories can try to wish away, but we only transcend it with optimistic schemes, like faith.

Hitler, Mein Kampf, knew that a pragmatic man might struggle to "die for his country" (read political cause), so giving people a "religion" to die for solved that problem. "Men die for what they believe in" (is a sort of paraphrase).

As we lose faith, and settle into a sort of pragmatic futility, that's when self-interest really takes over.

No academic theories that aren't willing to try to give you a "faith", are going to counter that.

Academic theories have to make at least a claim to pragmatics, i.e. addressing "reality", so they their purposes grind against each other, inducing cognitive dissonance, and actually producing disillusion.

Marxism is in no shape "materialism", but he called it "materialism" for the patina of addressing the "real world" at its base.

So just anything that works "like a religion" will do.

The Bushes (41 & 43) both had hyperthyroidism, and something like it may be necessary for success at that level. Apex men in general must have preturnatural resistance to stress, since every alpha has to deal with non-stop status competition from every direction -- it's more of a fractal and situational spectrum than a binary state, so it's relative and constantly re-negotiated -- and Trump is a super-alpha, which means having the most calm/energy of anyone in any room.

I'm not really happy about it, since low-energy, excitable, and easily stressed is basically the opposite of the recipe for high status, but a man needs to know his limitations. The interminable social combat that they take to like a duck to water would be like Hell on Earth to me. I'm just glad we got a guy who can handle it and is fighting for our national thriving, versus a massive transnational clique of grifting locusts that could overstress nearly anyone else.

Indiana Republicans Unveil New Restricting Map That Could Result in Two More GOP House Members, But It's Unclear if Indiana RINOs Will Pass It

RINOs are balking about redistricting because... I don't know why. Because Democrats will be mad at them.

But other Republicans have unveiled their redistricting plan to spit Democrats up so that Indiana's 7 to 2 delegation can become a clean sweep of nine Republicans to zero Democrats.

(If things work out -- there are no guarantees.)


The move comes as President Donald Trump pressures Republicans across the country to redistrict in order to bolster the GOP's chances of holding the House in 2026.

Indiana currently has 7 Republicans and 2 Democrats in Congress. The proposed map would split the current Democratic-leaning districts into the other GOP-leaning districts and divide the blue-leaning urban areas, Politico reported.

It remains unclear whether the legislature will pass the plan, though Trump has urged them to do so.

Ron "The Meatball" DeSantis says he'll call a special legislative session early next year in order to pass a redistricting map for Florida.


"Yeah, so we're going to redistrict," DeSantis told The Floridian on Monday, according to NOTUS.

The governor said that the timing of redrawing the state's congressional map will depend on the results of a voting rights case before the Supreme Court.

The case is regarding the legality of Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has been interpreted as the enforcement mechanism for the 15th Amendment. The statute allows judicial relief for a voter if they believe their right to vote is being infringed upon on the basis of race.

"The argument in October about Section 2 of the VRA, that impacts Florida's maps, so we're going to do it next spring," DeSantis said. "I am going to talk to [state Senate Majority Leader Ben Albritton] about when it makes sense to do it, but that will be done. I think we are going to be required to do it because of this court decision."

Florida GOP Chairman Evan Power said last month that he expects Republicans to gain three to five House seats under the new redistricting proposal.

Note that DeSantis seems to be saying he must redistrict if the Supreme Court overturns the unconstitional judge-made rule that districts must be drawn on racial grounds. But I don't know if he's saying that if the Supreme Court punts on this issue, he'll redistrict anyway.

In the meantime, we're waiting for results from the special election in Tennessee 7, a +10 Trump district in which an absolute maniac even further to the left than AOC is actually within two points of winning the seat and narrowing the deadly-thin GOP majority still further.

If you're in the district, you must vote. It's critical.

19 The sad truth, as we all see it, is that Democrats are less-principled and more vindictive when they get back into power.

It's a gut check for any Republican to want to go directly against that.

I know exactly why. First, money. It's been reported that one of the RINOs got over a million bucks (!) from one of the Democraps who would lose a seat in the redistricting. I'm sure all the others are getting similar bribes.

Second: they are scaredy faggot pussy-wimp chumper faggots.

When you redistrict to add more GOP seats, you are taking red districts and making them less red by moving some of the red votes to the new district.

So R+10 might go to R+5. The RINO homos in R+10 districts want to stay R+10. They don't want to have to actual service constituents in a R+5 district. They'd much rather have the R+10.

Look, I'm not one who's going to say that voting isn't critical. In my town in CT where I'm the Republican chair, our First Selectman was voted in by *five* (5!) votes. The rest of the state got smoked by the Democrats.

However, I'm not going to believe a stupid Emerson College (?!)/ The Hill (?!!) poll that undersampled Rs substantially that asserts that this race is within the margin of error. Stop.

These large cities in Red states are suicidal. It's insanity that the polls are this close.
---------------------------------
Well, polls are polls [spit], but it is true that little centers of blue retardation in red states have been given WAY too much leeway (e.g. "youths" taking over intersections to race around in their cars in Austin TX). Blue states go out of their way to make people miserable in their states. A rural enough area can ignore them (like Western PA ignoring mask mandates in 2020), but cities are easy targets. If state legislatures wanted to crack down on the really abysmal level of governance and corruption in Dim run cities, they easily could.

Solid Rs, but the problem is more that Trump just didn't come correct when he demanded that the legislature accede to his will on this - he should have just asked nicely behind the scenes. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than a little truth behind that assertion.

Nope, many of these GOP members in Deep Red states are in fact moderate Democrats in previous times. It is just they cannot get elected anymore as Democrats so they pose as them in GOP primaries in order to get elected and act like Democrats.

Texas state leg has had a particular problem with those types particularly in the TX House. Georgia has had a problem with fake GOP in executive offices like Sec of State and Atty General if not the governor. Florida has DeSantis at times fighting his own GOP when they try to protect and delay changes in the law regarding illegals.

Open primary states are the worst as you often get Democrat kibitzers pushing candidate selection toward the left in GOP primaries when they have no candidates competing themselves.

Which is 100% the problem of lefties and RINOS: they all want to be picked and popular. Versus doing what's right.

Brett points out that Matt Van Epps' team has been lazily acting like they have it in the bag and a Trump endorsement is a slam dunk win. It's not. Plus the crazy lady got a cash infusion of $1M from the DNC. Van Epps should just have run ads of her saying how much she HATES everything Nashville, caught on camera, 24/7. Dems are so good at hating the people they swear they want to serve. (On a platter, to communists.)

Trump comes at people from the front, not whispering around in back door behind closed doors.

Mike Pence, on the other hand, was apparently engaged in just that sort of misbehavior urging Indiana state legislators to reject redistricting. That is the traditional GOPe way to smother, kill, and destroy any conservative legislation or even legislator.

Remember how Nunes was backstabbed by Paul Ryan when Ryan allowed a fake ethics investigation to sideline Nunes so that the rotten fake pee pee document and Russia Russia conspiracy was kept live.

What the IN legislators are upset is that they will now have to act in the open whether to shelve or redistrict and their votes will be taken into account if they don't by GOP voters. Trump's superpower is ripping off masks.

There's not enough data to say. People were freaking out about the special elections for US House in FL and the GOP won easily.

State level special elections in IA and PA haven't gone well, but I live in the State Senate District that a hobo-looking Dim won in PA, and the county GOP put out voter information with the wrong election date. So there was just raw complacency if not sleepwalking.

Assholes like Mark Levin have programmed us to think that red areas are turning blue all the time. At times it's true, but not because of people moving in (who are more conservative). But people who have lived for decades in a Nashville suburb might be sipping non-stop libtard propaganda at this point. So who knows.

Not really, most Southern states have open primaries because it used to be that the Democrat primary was the only one that counted. Later on, the GOP kept them figuring maybe if they voted GOP for the presidential primaries then they might vote GOP in other races. Now they are counterproductive. IRRC Operation Chaos was actually based on a state that did not have open primaries, Pennsylvania. Limbaugh asked PA GOP, which he claimed approximately 100k did so, to change their party registration to Dem just to vote for Hillary over Obama. Hillary won.

158 State level special elections in IA and PA haven't gone well, but I live in the State Senate District that a hobo-looking Dim won in PA, and the county GOP put out voter information with the wrong election date. So there was just raw complacency if not sleepwalking.

Assholes like Mark Levin have programmed us to think that red areas are turning blue all the time. At times it's true, but not because of people moving in (who are more conservative). But people who have lived for decades in a Nashville suburb might be sipping non-stop libtard propaganda at this point. So who knows.
Posted by: the lower depths

I think local and state GOP have atrophied in many red states simply because GOP pols and campaign professionals dislike GOTV particularly the squishy ones. The Dems had that problem and the techlords came up with ways to use their NGO universe to GOTV instead of the Dem apparatus. Outsourcing more or less.

The 2004 election is what caused that to occur as the techlords thought Horse faced Kerry should have won against Shrub and they blamed the self serving Dem party apparatus for it occuring.

Then there’s her mother, the ultimate cheerleader in homemaker mode, who’s been on a profound personal trek. A recovering Jehovah’s Witness, she’s spent years peeling back layers of doctrines that sidelined women, emerging fiercer for it. She didn’t just keep the home fires burning; she lit a match under Aftyn and her kids, insisting they raise their voices no matter the room. At Aftyn’s swearing-in ceremony back in 2023, Mom stole the show, dubbing it “pink girl power summer” and boasting how her daughter has always amplified the voiceless—even if it means getting mic’d off.

Posted by: Darrell Harris

Not really, most Southern states have open primaries because it used to be that the Democrat primary was the only one that counted. Later on, the GOP kept them figuring maybe if they voted GOP for the presidential primaries then they might vote GOP in other races. Now they are counterproductive. IRRC Operation Chaos was actually based on a state that did not have open primaries, Pennsylvania. Limbaugh asked PA GOP, which he claimed approximately 100k did so, to change their party registration to Dem just to vote for Hillary over Obama. Hillary won.

I think it is a bit more complicated than that. White males without a college degree are pretty much done with perfumed typical GOPe assholes that promise a lot but deliver little. They still see their jobs being taken by illegals from the corporate GOPe types and their jobs outsourced to foreign lands. Inflation, including critical cars and trucks prices are unaffordable. Now health care insurance, particularly for the independent carpenters, plumbers, etc. are soaring on the exchanges along with every other stupid financialization of our economy.

Those are the occasional voters that have to be delivered and they will only do so for a candidate that walks the walk as well as talks the talk. They like Trump but a lot of other GOP candidates remind them of theater kids and student government types in high school and their dealings with greasy corporate types.

I think he's saying that a Supreme Court ruling could force them to redistrict even if they had already just done that, so they might as well wait and see what the controlling judicial rubric is. So, I'm taking it that they plan to do it one way or another.

Drunk driving and automobile accidents are rampant. They give these people every handout imaginable. They get EBT cards, SNAP, Medicaid and all kinds of housing assistance. Drivers licenses and insurance isn’t a problem. The SBA or whatever is still handing out loans. They’re in the car dealers leasing BMW’s and $85,000 F-150’s. The schools are overwhelmed and all the taxpayer funded resources are going to the illegal kids for ESL and all kinds of personal instruction. They’ve taken a lot of the local jobs especially in construction and the trades. It’s an invasion.

If you think the GOP brand was in good shape after 2006 amnesty attempts, McCain, and Congressional leadership essentially bowing to Obama, better than a GOP that's on message with Trump, the first GOP president to win the popular vote since 2004, because they haven't...passed enough legislation? Which the voting populace doesn't actually care about?

Seriously, voting behavior is largely tied to education levels. No one's figured out how to get the lesser educated to decide to turn out to vote in every election. Obama and his team couldn't figure it out in the 2010s, and Trump and his team are having trouble figuring it out now.

It will require a complete revamp of how to do electoral politics, at least, to change that behavior.

It isn't helped by a lingering elite attitude based partially on class about those with no college education. Both Democrat and GOP elites disdain them and yet give white males and females without college degrees little enough to vote for. This is despite the fact that they are one of the largest blocs of voters--the Dems turned toward teh AWFLS and POC, the GOP prefers the corporate class while pining after the AWFLs that used to vote GOP before abortion became a big issue.

Seems universal. Tories in UK disdained the working class that did not appreciate how diversity made things cheaper for the elites with better ethnic food choices, Ditto for Ma Merkel. And this is while the left in both Germany, UK, and even France abandoned the native voters for the educated elites nattering on about bullshit while the poors and producers in those society are drowning. So the old party systems no longer work.

303 It amazes me how little the term "gerrymandering" is being used by the media in reporting about this conflict, even though it is entirely about...gerrymandering.

The reason the Democrats don't accuse the GOP of "gerrymandering" is that they don't want to then be accurately accused of also gerrymandering.

But let's be frank here -- that's exactly what both sides are doing -- gerrymandering.

Now everyone uses the euphemism "redistricting," as if that will someone wipe away the bad associations with the old word.

California's Prop 50 was nothing more than "Let's gerrymander the shit out of this entire sate," but it was presented in completely positive terms.

319 Seriously, voting behavior is largely tied to education levels. No one's figured out how to get the lesser educated to decide to turn out to vote in every election. Obama and his team couldn't figure it out in the 2010s, and Trump and his team are having trouble figuring it out now.

It will require a complete revamp of how to do electoral politics, at least, to change that behavior.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

One part is simple in theory , difficult in practice. Government has to be for the benefit of the general population, not the elites and those shy voters have to see politicians actually struggling like Trump instead of cruising on easy street by working the system. And that means a lot of the 'muh principles' go by the wayside like absolute free trade, killing Medicare or Social Security, etc. Struggling voters that have been impoverished by elites from both parties since 1970's, getting rid of a safety net is a no go.

Campaign resources need to be shifted away from the party organizations and into ngos that is their one job--to turn out voters.

Party organizations inevitably end up being incumbent protection rackets because of network linkages and insider benefits.

323 Now this is a big Canadian and US bank, yes?

TD Bank has been hit with over $3 billion in penalties and has pleaded guilty to criminal charges for systemic failures that allowed money laundering networks, including those tied to drug traffickers and fentanyl sales, to move hundreds of millions of dollars through its system.

In October 2024, it agreed to pay a $3 billion penalty to the U.S. government in a money laundering settlement and pleaded guilty to criminal charges, becoming the first U.S. bank to do so. The settlement resolved a long-term investigation into the bank's failures to prevent criminal networks from moving over $670 million through the bank, including drug money. As a result, TD Bank faces restrictions on its U.S. business growth and a multi-year monitoring period.

And so, is it important to stop illegal drug movement into and through the United States?

Oz is out there providing first pass data on how much Medicaid is being spent on illegals

https://tinyurl.com/48v8yw33

"Oregon public health leaders are denying Mehmet Oz’s claims that they have spent billions of federal dollars on “illegal immigrants.”

In a social media post shared on Friday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator and former host of “The Dr. Oz Show” alleged that a preliminary audit of several states found that they had unlawfully allocated more than $1 billion worth of Medicaid to undocumented people altogether.

Oregon was one of the six places identified. It has spent more than $5.4 million on healthcare coverage for undocumented residents, according to Oz."

333 Few people are noting that gerrymandering can sometimes backfire spectacularly.

The whole principle of gerrymandering is baed on two strategies: "packing" and "cracking."

You want to "pack" as many of the opposing side into one overstuffed district, and the "crack" apart your own overstuffed districts and distribute the voters judiciously in surrounding districts, so you win every district with about 52% of the vote. Meanwhile, the other side will win their one district with 90% of the vote, with most of those votes thereby "wasted."

But if you calculate wrong, or is voters preferences shift significantly -- cough Hispanics and blacks suddenly become pro-Trump cough -- you can unwittingly make a district that your sides barely loses, results is self-gerrymandering.

Let's hope that happens to the Dems.

A fair chunk of Democrats, probably about half of them are exactly that type of transactional voter.

To these type voters, worrying about the future is pointless because if you don't get your food stamps today, then kiddies won't get fed. No govt Section 8, then no housing. In a sense, they view themselves as having a job--getting welfare and benefits and jumping through the different hoops to do so.

New Deep State Op Drops: Pete Heseth Said "Kill Them All" Just Like Colonel Kurtz, and US Planes Fired on Drug Boat Survivors Clinging to the Wreckage Like Heroes

I missed this story, but someone I knew who spent the holidays with her liberal family said that CNN is pushing this latest op non-stop.

It has to do with the latest drug boat interdiction-by-missile.

There are two main hoaxes in this latest op. The first is that Pete Hegseth showed that he is a psychopathic dry-drunk unfit to serve by demanding that the military "kill everybody."

The second, pushed by deranged insurrectionist and future court-martial convict Mark Kelly, is that there is video of the survivors of the first missile strike clinging to the wreckage of the drug boat, but then the second missile ordered by Jack T. Ripper, I mean Pete Hegseth, murders them.

Here's the Washington Post -- not edited enough by centrist liberal Bari Weiss -- pushing the hoax, based on highly credible Unnamed Sources.

The Washington Post
@washingtonpost

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to "kill everybody" in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions, according to two sources.

Here's the Washington Post op:

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all

As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary's order to leave no survivors.

The longer the U.S. surveillance aircraft followed the boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were ferrying drugs.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. "The order was to kill everybody," one of them said.

A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.

The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack -- the opening salvo in the Trump administration's war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere -- ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.

The article strains to insinuate that the "Kill everyone" order came after the first strike, with the express intent to kill the two alleged survivors clinging to the wreck, while soft-pedaling the actual claims made in this op, that the order came before any missile strikes at all.

There's also no context for the "kill everyone" order, if it was made at all. Here's some context I can imagine: Given resistance leftists and their determination to refuse to carry out "illegal orders" -- that is itself an op -- I can see leftist personnel objecting to the strikes entirely, saying "we should just stop the boats and arrest them" and an annoyed Secretary of War saying, "We have declared war on the narcoterrorists, and we kill people in war. You have your orders, kill everyone attempting to smuggle drugs into the US."

Or something like that.

The fact that this article provides no context for the alleged order strongly suggests that the context, were it supplied, would undermine the narrative being pushed. Propagandists don't leave out context which supports their propaganda messaging, after all.


Hegseth's order, which has not been previously reported, adds another dimension to the campaign against suspected drug traffickers. Some current and former U.S. officials and law-of-war experts have said that the Pentagon's lethal campaign -- which has killed more than 80 people to date -- is unlawful and may expose those most directly involved to future prosecution.

Which is the point of the Democrats' "Refuse to obey the chain of command" op.

And that's further context for the alleged order: Resistance leftists might say "But I am exposing myself to prosecution by AOC and Mark Kelly" and Hegseth might have responded, "You have your orders, you cannot be prosecuted for following a lawful order, I am ordering you to kill everyone on those boats. You have no legal liability."


The alleged traffickers pose no imminent threat of attack against the United States and are not, as the Trump administration has tried to argue, in an "armed conflict" with the U.S., these officials and experts say.

Well, if experts say....

Amazingly, even the New York Times points out that critical context for this alleged order is entirely absent from the hit piece. Even they seem to realize that this is likely yet another op.

The Times also points out that while the Post strains to link the order to the second strike -- they want to claim the second strike was an attempt to fulfill Hegseth's alleged order -- in fact there is no actual connection between the order and the second strike.

It is not surprising that the WashPost, which originated the Russia collusion hoax, the Kavanaugh hoax, and the first Trump impeachment hoax, would run another false info op. It IS a bit surprising that the NYT isn't going along with it in their normal manner.

Hegseth dismissed the op.

"As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland," Hegseth wrote on X after the report dropped.

"As we've said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be 'lethal, kinetic strikes,'" the Pentagon chief continued. "The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people.


"Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization."

Echoing Hegseth, Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson argued: "Every lethal kinetic strike against narco-terrorists is:1) Completely legal 2) Conducted against the operations of a Designated Terrorist Organization 3) In defense of vital U.S. national interests."

President Trump shared footage of the Sept. 2 attack -- the first of more than a dozen military strikes targeting suspected drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific -- showing only the first missile hitting the speed boat, and seemingly obliterating it.

Hegseth also denied the claim that there were any survivors clinging to the boat targeted by the second strike.


"The Biden administration preferred the kid gloves approach, allowing millions of people -- including dangerous cartels and unvetted Afghans -- to flood our communities with drugs and violence," Hegseth's post continued. "The Trump administration has sealed the border and gone on offense against narco-terrorists.

"Biden coddled terrorists, we kill them."

The war secretary argued that the strikes against suspected narcoterrorists, part of a campaign dubbed "Operation Southern Spear," are "lawful under both US and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict -- and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command."

Democratic lawmakers vowed to investigate and prosecute anyone who gave "illegal orders" in response to the report.

"The idea that wreckage from one small boat in a vast ocean is a hazard to marine traffic is patently absurd, and killing survivors is blatantly illegal," Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), wrote on X. "Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder."

Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-Va.) warned Hegseth that he will be "held accountable for illegal orders you give.

Kelly continues breaking military law by telling military personnel they themselves can discern "legal" orders from "illegal" ones, despite the fact that the code of military justice says that personnel can only reject "manifestly" illegal orders and specifically tells them not to bring their own judgement to that question.

======

The basic idea is the same as you wouldn't shoot a disabled, no longer a threat, soldier in the back.

Except, it doesn't apply here. The boat was described as disabled, not destroyed. So, targeting the boat again is valid since it could be recovered, including its cargo, and potentially reused. Attacking it until it sinks is perfectly valid.

The other problem is that these terrorists (according to the US definition as outlined in the AUMF, Tren de Aragua smugglers are terrorists) are not in uniform. Geneva doesn't apply to non-uniformed combatants.

83 Last time I checked, narco-terrorists are, by definition, illegal combatants, and can be summarily killed (just like pirates). These shitbags are not uniformed conscripts in an organized military, and do not deserve the protections of the "laws of war."

84 It is an interesting contrast in the two topics we have in this thread.

1) The US has to handle international drug smugglers like normal criminals and give them all the legal protections American citizens are supposed to have

2) The UK has no obligation to give its citizens a trial by jury because jurors are too slow and too likely to find people innocent.

I can't possibly tell you how little I am concerned about the US military killing narcoterrorists/drug smuggler who are attempting to bring chemicals into the American heartland to kill and/or physically and psychologically disable American citizens.

Frankly, dropping a nuke on Maduro's skull would be a nice topper for this whole operation. Just to drive the point home to those attacking the American homeland with drugs.

I wish they'd go ahead and start prosecuting Kelly as well. I'm pretty sure this is more of the effort to gin up some lunkhead (this time in our military) to murder the Orange Hitler giving illegal orders.

They require the latter, to get rid of the former. Bureaucracy. Red Tape. Micromanagement.

Lately, you’ll likely read something to the effect in local crime stories “After the shooting, police performed heroic life saving measures, but he died at the hospital”

It's not a war crime since we're not at war. It's just murder.

We're just openly bombing boats that may or may not be literal civilian fishers. They keep saying fishing boats don't come with multiple outboard motors but if you look up a picture of an offshore fishing boat they all have that feature.

The argument now is if the boat was disabled, it's fine because they where still a threat? If it's okay, summary executions of drug dealers on the street is fine as well…especially if the person has even a slight (not orange) tan. The fact that anyone is defending this is mind boggling.

These ships are destroyed off the coast of Venezuela. That's over 2000 miles away. Those boats aren't traveling that far...if they can pin points where they are being loaded, why aren't they being arrested and confiscated?

Kash claimed they're intercepting comms that the precursors are getting hard to come by.

187 This is why people make fun of weather forecasters. Pick a fucking forecast and stick with it!

The North Texas winter forecast is murky, largely due to a weak La Niña that offers no strong signal for temperature or precipitation.

Temperatures in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are expected to fluctuate wildly between mild stretches and significant Arctic air intrusions.

The region will likely lean toward drier-than-normal conditions for the first half of winter, but an unstable Polar Vortex remains a "wild card" for severe cold blasts.

They don't like the idea that when they lose elections, they lost the power to make determinations.

The One Party urge is strong in the Dems, because they really believe that we should be governed by them when they win, and the "principles" ("interpretations of the law) via judges when they lose. i.e. Democratic Party principles.

Apparently, Carter Page went through a process of "due process". The Dem version.

If you've got evidence that he's working with the cartels then arrest him for aiding in terrorism, or smuggling, or whatever you've got evidence of... but words have meanings and he's not guilty of treason.

272 >>> As a teenager, I heard stories from the old timers who fought in WWII, both Pacific and Europe. The "laws of war" as the modern JAGoffs claim certainly didn't apply.
One fellow, and Okinawa vet -- well his stories were just unspeakable of what happened. And yes, our guys shot and killed enemy trying to surrender all the time.

It gets worse than that. I know of a Vietnam Vet who was ordered to shoot fisherman fishing too close to the Navy boats. Not Vietcong, not soldiers. Just civilians too close to our ships. Having to do that, kill innocents, really messed him up and gave him PTSD. That's not what he had signed up to do. But how do you know that fisherman isn't secretly Vietcong? Is the man who gave him that order to kill going to be strung up and taken to court, if they are still alive? No.

War is evil. What you have to do to win is often unthinkable. Which is why wars should be avoided at all costs, but when they have to happen should be swift and complete. And all the war pigs in Congress who gin up fighting pointless wars (looking at you Miss Lindsey) are just as evil, if not more so, than people like Hegseth who are just military men ordered to carry out those wars.

It's the first time in the US that the full cut, in one film, is being released at all.

The big change is that the Crazy 88 scene is in color (he had to turn down the saturation to 0 on the sequence to make it black and white to get an R rating, hence the Whole Bloody Affair being released without a rating), but there's also a 10 minute animated sequence added in as well.

303 37 The basic idea is the same as you wouldn't shoot a disabled, no longer a threat, soldier in the back.

Except, it doesn't apply here. The boat was described as disabled, not destroyed. So, targeting the boat again is valid since it could be recovered, including its cargo, and potentially reused. Attacking it until it sinks is perfectly valid.

The other problem is that these terrorists (according to the US definition as outlined in the AUMF, Tren de Aragua smugglers are terrorists) are not in uniform. Geneva doesn't apply to non-uniformed combatants.

I would take a picture of the Hegseth tattoo and the Teutonic symbol reused by the Nazis that was the shape of the stage at a conservative convention.

And I would put them up against the picture of Biden's "Red wall" speech.

319 Appeal to authoritay here: retired Navy, 28 years. I got lots of training on dealing with illegal orders over the years.

Many have already made the point that the Geneva and Hague Conventions don't apply to these narco-terrorist smugglers. No need to re-hash.

I find it unlikely that Hegseth would observe this op in real time and exercise the 3000-mile screw driver to order a second strike.

Kelly's not-so-hidden message is for people to disobey Trump's orders now or face retribution in the future when the Dems regain power.

320 What bothers me is how clueless people are to actual law.

These are unflagged vessels hauling illegal cargo in internation waters. Unflagged, mean they belong to no nation. International waters mean it is the wild west. There is no "law" requiring arrest, and no "law" we could prosecute them for. We could not prosecute these people in the U.S. - our laws do not apply to them. We would fish them out of the water and immediately let them go or let them drown. Those are our options.

If these were pirates, would we even be having this discussion? Pirates get hung.

It has long, and I mean hundreds of years, been understood that what the U.S. is doing is perfectly legal. National militaries can patrol the high seas, and take out bad guys, with very few rules.

Shoe has a funny defense of the bird hand in her most recent video, admitting she does it herself and she hates it. She's says a lot of women have spent a LOT of time having to herd and correct small children...correcting "idiots" on Youtube feels like the same thing to them.

If they are combatants, they can be killed to the last man, woman or child. But, the left is trying to insinuate that these folks are not combatants. If that is the case, the law of war is inapplicable and these people can be treated like pirates. There is no requirement not to kill all such people, and that has been the traditional law forever.

"President Obama deserves credit for even acknowledging the existence of the targeted killing program (something his predecessor did not do), and for increasing transparency into the internal processes that purportedly guided the authorization of drone strikes. However, many needed reforms were left undone - in large part because there was zero pressure from congressional members, who, with few exceptions, were the biggest cheerleaders of drone strikes."

This is all all you need to know about Kelly's recent squawking: he'll be running for President in '28.

He knows he can't possibly win the Dem POTUS nomination. But he needs to get face time early in the primaries, because I bet he sees himself as a front-runner for Veep. When a hard-left guy wins the POTUS nomination, Kelly sees himself as the military experience and tough talk guy the Dems will probably need on the ticket. Being an astronaut is a plus with some voters, too.

Surgeons Removed His Cancers and Saved His Life.
He, a "Transgender," Is Now Suing the Doctors for Having Questions About His Fake Gender.

The transgender decided to make trouble by secretly recording the medical staff during his surgery so he could hear if the surgeons Failed to Correctly Gender Him when they were saving his life.

They did correctly gender him -- they called him a man, which he was and is and always will be. And at least part of this discussion was medically necessary, because his patient file stated, falsely, that he was a woman, whereas the correct designation was "transgender female." It actually matters whether you're a man or woman for diagnosis and treatment -- for example, if you're a man, you don't need a pregnancy test and the doctors can rule out lots of things that only affect women, or they can deprioritize testing for diseases and syndromes that affect women much more frequently than they do men.

The Times will eventually acknowledge that -- after first ginning up sympathy for this malignant ingrate.

The transgender found that the surgeons and nurses discussing his actual biological sex as they were operating on him and saving his life intolerable, and is now suing because he says that pretending to be a woman makes him feel "pretty" and helps his psychological health, and surgeons and nurses discussing his actual sex made him feel un-pretty.

No, this is serious, this is actually happening.

The trans-crazy NYT gives this attention-seeking mentally-ill narcissist a very, very sympathetic hearing.

As usual, substitute "he" for "she" in this article, and read "woman" as "fake woman."


Jennifer Capasso, a 42-year-old transgender woman, figured there was a good chance she would be dead within 18 months. Since her diagnosis of metastatic rectal cancer, her life had become a succession of treatments and surgeries as more tumors were found. On her liver, and her lungs, and her large intestine, and again on her lungs.

At her apartment in Long Island City, Queens, she read cancer research papers and estimated her chances of survival, updating the odds after each scan, each tumor, each treatment. She tried to remember exactly what her doctors had said, and the tone they had used.

It frustrated her that she was unconscious at the most crucial moments -- as the surgeon removed each cancerous mass. What if the surgeon said something important, a stray comment that no one bothered to tell her about after the anesthesia wore off? She decided to record her next surgery, on March 7, 2022, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the renowned Manhattan hospital.

"I wanted to know what's going on," she recounted. She turned on the audio recorder on her phone before the anesthesia hit. "Knowledge is power."

"I wanted to record TikTok 'misgendering crime' content during my lifesaving surgery so that I could shame and cancel the people who saved my life."

In case you live such a happy and non-mentally-ill life that you didn't know this, transgenders love staging confrontations with normal people they interact with and recording them misgendering them -- "correctly gendering," in reality -- for clout and to cancel the poor normies who struggle to deal with these lunatics.



The surgeon removed part of her lung. She did not get around to playing the recording until a few weeks later. Though the audio was muffled, she could follow some of what the surgical team was saying before the procedure began. Someone was going out for coffee -- did anyone want something from Starbucks? The conversation then shifted.

" -- still has man parts."

It seemed to Ms. Capasso that they were talking about her genitalia.

Actually they were talking about all of the parts of his body, because they're all man parts.

But yes, they were also noting that despite claiming to be a woman and wasting medical resources by demanding a pre-surgery pregnancy test, he still had his dick and balls. He wants the world to make maximum effort to pretend he's a woman while he himself takes minimum effort to actually appear to be a woman.


On the recording, the health care workers express a variety of opinions about transgender identity more generally. "Not that it's not right, but -- " one person can be heard saying. "I don't get any of it," another says.

Oh no, mentally healthy people do not "get" the delusions of mentally ill people.


And in the middle of the conversation, one person suggests updating Ms. Capasso's medical file. "Yeah, it needs to say 'male,'" the person says.

Ms. Capasso said it appeared that hospital staff had in fact changed her electronic medical records, all while she was unconscious.

Yes, they corrected it, because if the operation went badly, he could sue them for working from false medical records. As I said, it is medically important to know if the patient is a male or female. Apparently this man lied in his intake forms and put a false medical history into the system.

Hey, if you're falsifying records, why not also claim you have ovarian cancer instead of lung cancer? Why stop at one falsehood?


With her records now marked "M" for "male," some hospital staff members called her "sir" during weekly appointments for blood draws. Others made a big deal about her being transgender. One person, perhaps taunting her, perhaps trying to be supportive, said things like "Yes, queen" -- also unwelcome, Ms. Capasso said.

Ms. Capasso said that when she asked hospital administrators to switch the "male" designation back to "female," she received a surprising answer: It couldn't be done, not anytime soon. She recounted the interaction in court papers, part of a lawsuit she filed in March in State Supreme Court in Manhattan accusing the hospital of discrimination. Ms. Capasso's lawyers shared the surgery recording with The New York Times.

The hospital, in its own court filings, has denied discriminating against Ms. Capasso and suggested that Ms. Capasso's "secret" recording invaded the privacy of its health care workers. The hospital denies changing Ms. Capasso's sex designation in medical records and "denies that plaintiff has been misgendered and misidentified in all of her records since 2022." In response to questions from The Times about Ms. Capasso's lawsuit, Memorial Sloan Kettering said in a statement that it "does not comment on ongoing litigation."

Ms. Capasso said that long before she made the recording, she had experienced discriminatory treatment at the hospital.

The year before, during an endoscope exam of her rectum and colon, the colorectal surgeon kept referring to Ms. Capasso as "he" when mentioning her to other medical workers, Ms. Capasso said in an interview.

It was, she said, among the worst interactions she had experienced as a trans woman in years, resurrecting old anxieties.


Two Medical Journeys
Ms. Capasso began her gender transition in 2015, in her mid-30s. She formed a tight circle of friends, and was dating. Life made more sense to her.

And then, in 2019, she was diagnosed with cancer.

Over the years that followed, Ms. Capasso was on two medical journeys: one, at Memorial Sloan Kettering, to keep death at bay; the other, with a plastic surgeon's help, to look more feminine. Starting in 2021, she underwent a half-dozen procedures to feminize her face.

Her brow ridge was sanded down. Her orbital bone was shaved to give her eyes an upward tilt. Her square chin was softened. There were cheek implants. Changes to her nose, too.

"I needed radical surgical intervention," she said. And she wanted it fast. The clock was ticking, maybe not for much longer.

"I wasn't going to die looking like the way I looked, especially getting treated the way I was getting treated," she said. "Like, not a chance."

She had decided on an open-casket funeral.

"I was going to be a pretty corpse," she said.

Even while preparing for death, she found that the feminization procedures gave her more confidence. "I wanted to blend in and be able to go out in public and just kind of be ignored," she said.

Ms. Capasso believes that her transition -- and her new life as a woman -- is what has kept her alive.

But her newfound confidence was fragile.

Yes because you're attempting to live an easily-disproven lie and so you're always "fragile" because the slightest bump or jostle will burst your bubble of self-deception.

And you've decided to make this the world's problem instead of dealing with it on your own, with the help of a psychiatrist. It's the world's duty to lie to support your self delusion, not your duty to make yourself more resilient when your delusion is challenged.


Whenever she went to Memorial Sloan Kettering, she felt dread, and not only the mortal kind. "I was constantly being reminded, every time I went, that I am different," she said. "It immediately brought me back to earlier days when I was very visibly trans, and it was rough."

And that's the world's problem now, huh, Chief?


She had been asked to take a pregnancy test, a routine preoperative step for female patients. Even though she doesn't have a uterus, she had offered to do whatever was easiest.

"I don't want to go into the operating room with any bad vibe," she later explained.

They asked him to take a pregnancy test? That is doubtful. My guess is that he demanded one.

And if they did perform a pregnancy test -- that shows why you're not supposed to lie in your medical case file and provide doctors with 100% false information.


Part of the campus of Memorial Sloan Kettering is reflected in a window seen from outside.

In the recording, the health care workers can be heard reassessing how Ms. Capasso's medical records describe her. "It's not supposed to just say 'female,'" one can be heard saying. "It's supposed to say 'transgender female.'"


Correct.

"It's still wrong per se," someone says.

They might have been annoyed or alarmed that they had been tricked into ordering a medically-unnecessary pregnancy test, which could be a basis for a lawsuit from a mentally-ill patient with a litigious streak.

And either way, I think it's going to be hard to bill the insurance company (or Medicaid, more likely) for the medically-unnecessry test, so the hospital is eating that loss.

After the surgery, it was there every time Ms. Capasso logged into her online patient portal or looked at test results: "M."

Before, she had generally been listed as "F" or "female" on any form with a field for "sex" or "gender."

Ms. Capasso wondered who had made the change and why. It was around then that she listened to the recording. Her stomach dropped when she heard the discussion about marking her down as male.

His stomach dropped.

His stomach dropped like his balls dropped at age 9.


Health care workers debate whether their patient's medical records should be listed as "male" or "female."

According to her lawsuit, the "M" in her medical records changed her interactions with hospital staff. At imaging appointments and blood draws, staff members looked at her longer than they had before, struck by the dissonance.

"My name is Jennifer, I look the way I look and I sound the way I sound, but it says 'M' on there," she recalled. "You could see there was a little reaction."

She just wanted cancer care. "I don't want them concentrating on my transgender status," she said. "I'm going there for them to keep me alive, and hopefully cure me."

See, it's other people who are always focused on transgenders' sex. Not they themselves. You're the bigots, Racists.


In legal filings, Memorial Sloan Kettering states that "its records accurately reflect Plaintiff's sex assigned-at-birth as male."

"Such information is relevant to and necessary for the provision of standard-of-care treatment," the hospital stated in court papers.

Medical journals and research articles have emphasized that doctors should be fully aware of the anatomy of their transgender patients -- as well as the sex they were assigned at birth -- in order to screen for diseases such as cancer and to properly interpret lab results.

Transgender women, for example, are less likely than men to be screened for prostate cancer, although they can remain at risk, according to research studies.
When Ms. Capasso asked Memorial Sloan Kettering to change her designation back to "female," she was told it would take two or three years, according to her lawsuit. Administrators said that they needed to wait for new record-keeping software.

So you get sued if you do, and you get sued if you don't.

His cancer has returned and he has returned to the hospital that saved his life, which he is now spitefully, viciously suing.

And they're now complying with his demands to falsify his medical records.

This past January, nearly three years after her surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering updated its electronic medical record system. Soon, Ms. Capasso began to see "F" and "female" on her records. She decided to pursue a lawsuit, she said, to help trans patients who came after her.

Her cancer has returned, and, in August, Ms. Capasso began a taxing round of radiation therapy to her lymph nodes. On a late summer afternoon, as she arrived for treatment, she tried to clear her mind of the worry she felt about both the cancer and how she would be received at the hospital as a trans woman.

She imagined she could gather up all the unpleasantness and anxiety and direct them, in a focused beam, to her tumors -- like a radiation beam.

She was back at Memorial Sloan Kettering, the hospital she was suing. She said she had chosen it in the first place because "they're the best." Her opinion of the hospital's cancer care hasn't changed.

"I'm still alive," she said. "I can't complain."


Transgenders, a tiny minority, have set upon a path of attempting to bully, coerce, and menace the vast majority into compliance, and it's working out for them about as well as you'd expect.

How is everyone? Where I am it's cold and wet but I think there'll be some sun later so I'll get out for my hike. Hopefully.

114 There's a few questions above about the legality of recording the operation. The answer is ... murky.

NY is a one-party state, meaning you can record a conversation so long as one party consents. That one consenting party can be the one recording the conversation. So you can be secretly recorded legally.

But, even in one-party states, an "expectation of privacy" on the part of the person secretly being recorded can trump the consent of the party recording. I would think a hospital OR would be a private setting.

Also: I think it's 99% likely that the hospital consent forms expressly forbid recording in the OR.

Residents of Hoover in suburban Birmingham showed up in force at a zoning commission meeting Monday as the board voted on whether to allow the Islamic Academy to transform a local office building into a school and community center.

Around 170 locals attended the meeting, with many opposing a motion to move the existing Islamic Academy in Homewood to Hoover.

Citing traffic concerns and questioning the long-term use of the site, the commission unanimously denied the zoning request, AL.com reported. The crowd erupted in applause as the council voted against the request."

I'm generally very pro Good Samaritan protection laws. I could however see someone with a neck injury who didn't need to be moved due to immediate danger of fire or something being pissed that a bystander moved them and caused them to be paralyzed.

There is a reason that the Founders had limited the franchise. Basic political science at the time derived from multiple historical examples indicated that an unlimited franchise inevitably led to national bankruptcy as politicians vied to buy the electorate with its own public money.

We, in this case, are no better or worse than Euro Democracies except our ability to borrow is far deeper than theirs (reserve currency status).

Then again, elites running the show also demonstrated remarkable ineptitude regarding the public fisc because they engaged often in pointless wars and buying useless trinkets while impoverishing the populace.

The lesson of history is NO form of government is good in the long run and neither rule by elites nor rule by the people can long keep from repeated crises by state overspending and overreach.

206 I pulled the complaint filed in this stupid case. Oddly, this tranny freak named only one defendant: the hospital. Almost always, the plaintiff sues everyone involved in the procedure, and especially individual doctors and nurses because it creates leverage and adds to the pressure to settle.

This freakshow didn't do that. The statute he's suing under applies to individuals, so there seems to be no reason not to sue the doctors who allegedly said what this faggot bitches about.

There's something very odd about this whole thing. And his lawyers seem to be from PA, not NY.

Sounds like a bunch of college types needed to be stuffed in lockers in high school so they would have acquaintance with real violence.

That being said, surveys of college students are notoriously bad for a variety of reasons and I would have to see the actual conduct of it before I would give it a second thought.

Much of the problem with modern psychology and sociology comes from reliance on surveys from college students taking mandatory courses in psych or sociology. The lab rats are 'free' in the sense that mere extra credit leads them to fill those surveys out.

These captive lab rats doing it for extra credit often amuse themselves by debasing the surveys by creative answers.

I had a camera in when my daughter was born. C-section and was not allowed to have it on or available until after they said I could.

I have a pic of the First Daughter shortly after coming out, before the cord was cut.

I'd agree on this one for two reasons: 1) sounds is a bugaboo with me.

I'll have to do that.

Right now, the foundation created by the subscriber base I've cultivated here seems to be very solid.

Enough views and likes (like and subscribe) to get individual videos to grow rapidly with impressions (early watches and likes help a lot). Since the videos themselves are decent (I guess), that impression rate is leading to what feels like very natural growth. I don't know what's normal for growth of a channel my size, but this feels promising.

305 My recent self evaluation had a question about my 'emotional intelligence'. I left it blank. If pushed that I MUST fill it out, I'm going to give the Biblical answer to that really dumb, manipulative question.


I remember when the Army tried that bullsh*t. The first time I sat in on the group session, my boss was awesome.
Describe yourself: I'm mean.
How do others see you: I'm mean.
What are your strengths: I'm mean.
And so it went.
It came to my turn.
Describe yourself: I work for him (pointing to boss).
We were excused. I bought the first round.

Bullshit. It’s a shakedown that attorneys do, which lead directly to Doctors avoiding ANY medical treatment other than at the Hospital. Not worth the risk.

“Good Samaritan” laws generally prevent the general public getting sued for good faith treatments or life saving measures. There is no requirement to do this, unless one is the proximate cause of the injury. “Rendering aid”. Of course most people are “judgment proof”.

Doctors or their organizations, are not. $$$

The “Sixth Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada,” released at the end of last month, proudly declared that this was “the second full year of data collection under the amended Regulations for the Monitoring of Medical Assistance in Dying [MAiD].

This report details 22,535 reports of MAID requests that Health Canada received in 2024. A total of 16,499 people received MAID; the remaining cases were requests that did not result in a MAID provision (4,017 died of another cause, 1,327 individuals were deemed ineligible and 692 individuals withdrew their request).

I am completely opposed to Ewetoob's game of "monetizing" the videos by serving ads. The whole thing got its start as a way for ordinary people to share knowledge or neat with others for free simply because they had a passion for the subject matter. Now, Ewetoob is jam-packed with crap videos made by AI, simply because they can earn their makers a few bucks. If a Ewetoob presenter wants to take on a sponsor, and make an ad for that sponsor to be part of the content, fine. Or if they want to sell merch, also fine.

379 The Late Dr. Charles Krauthammer said during his last on-air roundtable discussion on Fox that if the Nation really wanted to decrease healthcare costs, that reforming Medical Malpractice would cut it down by 33% immediately.

This is why the costs keep going up for patients and doctors who shell out malpractice insurance each year. 80% of lawsuits are BS and never go anywhere but can take 2 years to resolved and waste the time of the doctor and make many consider leaving medicine altogether. We already have a lack of docs for to treat our population. Ban all recording devices in the OR. A doctor has to consent for a clinic interview to be recorded and many times will do so if the patient is forgetful or elderly and wants their kids to be able to understand what the doc tells them.

The Morning Rant: Immigration? No Thanks

punk-monkey.jpg

At what population density do immigrants retain their original culture, and have the ability to reject the culture of their "adopted" country?

If a small number of immigrants show up in a typical American city, they will be swamped by the tremendous cultural pressure of America. Some of their neighbors might be immigrants, but not from their home country. Their employers might be Americans, their children's teachers will probably be Americans, the advertisements they see, the music they hear, the food they see in most markets, all will be of their new country, or of immigrants from different countries and possibly radically different cultures.

But at some speed and density, the new immigrants will be able to recreate some of the conditions from their origin. If there are 50 people from country X, no ethnic food store will emerge to satisfy their demand for fried crickets or sheep's eyeballs or goat brains or.... But if 10,000 of them descend onto a neighborhood, then the demand can and will be satisfied. And not just food. Clothing, education, music, advertisements, religion, and on and on. Density and speed of the immigration will overwhelm even the power of American culture to assimilate.

And that is what happens when we prioritize a particular people for immigration to America. Somalia on the Mississippi exists because the desire to create a monolithic sub-culture that is insulated from the now defunct "Melting Pot," and can be manipulated for political ends, was far more important than the idyllic vision of vibrant immigrants enriching America while embracing our culture and political philosophy. Dearborn and Paterson exist because we have allowed our political class to create the conditions necessary for a permanent alien presence in America that conveniently votes for them!

That we have allowed these cultures to bring with them savagery, and even worse, an unadulterated contempt for everything that America and American Exceptionalism stands for is trivial to our political elites in comparison to winning the next election.

One of the most important structural changes that made these huge concentrations possible was the creation of the welfare state by the Democrats in the 1960s, ably and vilely led by the execrable Lyndon Baines Johnson. No longer did economics drive the desire to leave the inner city ghettos where most immigrants began their lives in America. Uncle Sugar made sure that they could remain with their fellow immigrants...forever! Section 8 housing, government housing, generous welfare payments, and other massive redistributionist policies allowed oceans of American tax dollars to flow into these areas, so that the voting blocs grew, but their morphing into Americans never happened.

14 It's easy to ignore the fact that in earlier immigration waves (Irish, German, Italian, Jewish) the first generation often NEVER assimilated. Their kids did, but they continued with the old ways and the old language. Not all of them, by any means, but many.

The modern welfare state didn't exist, though, so choosing to remain culturally unchanged came with very big drawbacks.

62 Growing up, I lived in a neighborhood full of Eastern Euro immigrants. Poland, Russia, Yugoslavia, Czech, you name it we had it. I’d say 50% of my school was immigrant or at least kids of immigrants.

But no one group dominated. So everyone assimilated into the larger group which was American. All the kids learned English. They all played little league. Things like that.

If you went over to someone’s house who was an immigrant family they’d make some meal from the old country which I always liked trying. And the parents would almost always speak to each other in their native language but usually make an attempt to speak with me in English.

Generally speaking though everyone blended into the American social fabric. That no longer exists for the new wave of 3rd world immigrants. They don’t assimilate whatsoever.

Hundreds of Russian Porsche owners have found their cars immobilised across the country, amid fears of deliberate satellite interference.

Drivers have complained that their vehicles have suddenly locked up, lost power and refused to start, as owners and dealerships warn of a growing wave of failures that has left hundreds of vehicles stuck in place.

The nationwide meltdown hit Porsche models built since 2013, which are all fitted with the brand's factory VTS satellite-security unit.

VTS is not standard in the cars, at least not in USA. I'm not even aware of anyone in the USA who has it. VTS is a glorified "lojack" system that also immobilizes the car in the event of a theft. I suspect the story about the cars being hacked is an op, or at least way overblown. As I understand the system, it can be overridden with a "hard" pass key. If you have that key -- and all owners should -- you can override the lockdown. In theory at least.

84 Really? How do they determine that? ...Unless they have a way of figuring out IQ from your ASVAB score.


Jordan Peterson has stated that the U.S. military has an effective minimum IQ of 83, citing a conclusion from military intelligence research that individuals below this score cannot be trained for useful roles. While the U.S. military does not use a single fixed IQ cutoff, its qualification process uses the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), which has an effective minimum to reject the bottom third of candidates, roughly corresponding to an IQ of 85 or lower.

Minimum IQ of 83: Peterson claims that military intelligence concluded after extensive testing that individuals with an IQ below 83 cannot be trained for any useful military role, and it is illegal to enlist them.

ASVAB qualification: The official qualification is based on the ASVAB test, not a traditional IQ test, but the results are used to screen candidates.

Effective cutoff: The military aims to reject the bottom third of candidates, which corresponds to an effective minimum score of around 85 on an IQ scale, says this Hacker News discussion

141 A major problem in fixing the immigration nightmare is Dems, like my AWFL sisters, who think we should at least have secure borders but the current mess is all the the Republican fault because they refuse to work with Dems on immigration "reform.' (Yes, they actually believe this as that is what they are told by their Dem politicians) They are clueless that the bills that were shot down were all essentially amnesty now for promises of enforcement later. Or that it was mostly conservative base that forced them to reject any deals as much of the GOP was more than happy to allow the invasion to continue.


Trump is showing them that a secure border is possible without immigration reform so now they must oppose it because TDS is more important.

This. I'm tired of hearing the bullshit argument that we're a nation of immigrants. At one time, yeah, but not anymore. People used to come here to live the American dream, and to be an American, because to them it was the land of opportunity. They came, they worked, they assimilated, learned the language, they fought in our wars, and lived as Americans. These days? Fuck no. They're here for the grift, fly the flags of the shitholes they came from, they don't learn the language, and make demands for accommodation of their shit culture. Bottom line, we troll the sewers for immigrants these days. We don't bring them in from the western cultures or the 1st world anymore. We scrape the sewer pipes and dump it here, let them run for office, and let them take over whole towns, and let them plant their flag.

206 I'm sure someone has already pointed this out (I'm not checking the comments yet), but America basically stopped ALL immigration for 30+ years after the massive surge of immigrants in the early 20th Century.

It gave plenty of time for the Irish and Italian subcultures to integrate into American life and be seen as just another type of American.

We need a similar pause for the next 30 years. Unless Trumpian style Republicans win the White House for the next 30 years (0% chance of that), we won't be able to to that.

(Also we need to kick out all the illegals and the scammers. At least that has a small chance of happening, given a Trumpian Republican follows after Trump.)

True. And to quote CDB above, "One of the most important structural changes that made these huge concentrations possible was the creation of the welfare state by the Democrats in the 1960s, ably and vilely led by the execrable Lyndon Baines Johnson."

Also see National Archives, THE WAR ON POVERTY 50 YEARS LATER: A PROGRESS REPORT, The Council of Economic Advisers January 2014

Since 2014, the US expanded health coverage and other safety net programs that were intended to prevent poverty from rising significantly. However, it seems that's BS and falling apart without much greater, broader and permanent subsidies.

Further, at least 20 million individuals entered the country - some legally but many not. Therefore, while poverty rates of elderly may show improvement, for children it appears to have worsened. (School demographics, and so on, indicating how many children are at lower economical levels and supplemental lunches and more are required.)

Hospitals might be failing (or appointments are back as far as a year) but pediatric clinics are opening in many of the same regions. There's also more subsidized housing than ever. etc.

256 The problem is that every other immigrant group had aspects of the culture they were leaving that could be absorbed. Even with the huge wave of hispanic immigrants the same patterns are occurring where the kids speak very little Spanish, and their kids will probably not speak it at all.

Muslims do not have this connection. They are more likely apt to resist assimilation because their cultural connection is to that which seeks to overthrow, not fit in. As such, they are unwilling to accept what America offers, but work to consume as much welfare as possible, fortify clan relationships, and set up alternate public authority institutions. And if they can control a region, replace the old ones with theirs. The (dot) Indians do have the clannish business problem as well, but the EEOC is getting ready to end that.

Well, that's a happy thought and way to start off the day ... eh, there are no guarantees (some idiot might kill me on the road today, as they've certainly been trying for years now).

309 To follow up on a theme from previous days about dealing with treachery first - a topic linked earlier today -

"It is essentially Gaza on the Willamette, If Cranston is exonerated it will be nothing short of a miracle."

Not mentioned in the article, IIRC, was that the fiance this dude went to jail for defending turned on him on and caved to the BLM types to testify there was no threat after the dude assaulted three people and advanced on a drawn weapon.

None of this shit will get fixed if that sort of BS is tolerated. People need to stop coddling their young female relatives who carry water for causes like BLM and kick their asses to the curb.

317 My dad came over with his parents from England post-WWII, having lost their son to the war effort and their daughter to a Yank who brought her home to Buffalo. They worked their butts off to be self-supporting and be a benefit to their adopting country.

Likewise, my mom's grandfather grabbed his sons and daughter and headed to the States from Poland to escape (yet another) approaching war with Russia. It took years to find a suitable place to settle in and ply his talents in a way that made him a living while not being a burden to their new country. They retained a pride in their native land, but their gratitude for America was inescapable.

Neither set of parents would believe the places their kin would go or what they'd achieve. Handouts were anathema to their worldviews.

319 Born 1987. I would almost argue that my generation’s stupid sentimental blind spot on immigrants is all the fault of Don Bluth, Steven Spielberg, and that cute little cartoon mouse Fievel. When people my age think “immigrant”, I am convinced they subconsciously think of a scared, lonely little cartoon mouse whose family got pushed out of Russia in a Jewish pogrom.

It certainly has to play a role in their sentimental worship of that damn Emma Lazarus poem, which is sung by an angelic choir as he sees the Status of Liberty for the first time.

320 And I say the above because that’s what I thought. Until we had a real-life Fievel wash up from Cuba, and Clinton sent a SWAT team to send him back to that communist hellhole where they reprogrammed him but good.

321 Point I forgot to make: Elian Gonzalez taught me that the Democrats didn’t believe their immigrant/refugee compassion bullshit one bit. It was all just to tug at people’s heartstrings so they’d let people in who don’t deserve to be here, while they will not hesitate refuse or send back people who really SHOULD be here, if they come from a country they don’t consider it PC to want to escape from.

322 At what population density do immigrants retain their original culture, and have the ability to reject the culture of their "adopted" country?

Paul Joseph Watson had a video on this topic just yesterday.

A guy went into Blackburn neighborhood in England to ask about why this particular neighborhood was seen as "diverse" and segregated. At first, no one would speak to him.

Finally, he got one guy to be completely honest about how the immigrants were taking over:

work? I have no expertise in coding but I was hoping to
start my own blog soon. Anyway, if you have any suggestions or tips for
new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic nevertheless I just wanted to ask.
Kudos!
