Years ago there was a German performance 'artist' who thought it would be a fabulous idea to share a pen with a wild coyote while walking around said pen covered in a blanket. Hilarity ensued when the coyote said to himself 'fuck that noise' and proceed to maul the 'artist'.

Well, yes, I seem to recall you are a practitioner of black arts?
I was curious about a product called Polar Pure. It’s a water disinfectant device for hikers and campers, based on a concept developed by Kahn & Vischer some years ago. 4 to 6 grams of USP grade resublimated Iodine crystals are placed in a glass bottle with bakelite cap.
A couple ounces of water are kept in the bottle. A super saturated solution results, that is used to disinfect water in a canteen or whatever

Suddenly, a limousine cruised to the head of the line. The chauffeur stepped out and opened the rear passenger-side door, and two men got out. First was the leftist billionaire and anchovy monopolist, Getus L. Mazuma. A huge man, he was dressed in a blue suit that incorporated enough wool to have kept a shearing shed busy for a week. And then, there he was, the arch penguin-hater and guano mogul, himself, the old Russia hand who had made the transition from Marxism to capitalism as easily as changing his lapel pin: Duncan Duncanovich Thraxski, a picture of studied elegance, in his black overcoat and gray Homburg. The false Assyrian beard was a nice touch.

Jimmy walked out the front door and leaned casually against a lamppost. The men in the limo, including the chauffeur, had disappeared inside the building; however, a few minutes later, they emerged, carrying white cardboard containers the size of fruit boxes. They looked around furtively, then returned inside. Jimmy stole across the street and looked into the open trunk, gasping at what he saw. On one end of each box, there was a silhouette of a penguin inside a red circle with a red hash mark. On the other end was a skull and crossbones. It was poison!

Over the years, even covered with water, it slowly dissipates, about a 1/4 or 1/3 of the crystals remain. The instructions state “so long as visible crystals remain in the bottle, there is sufficient iodine to make a supersaturated solution”
But the solution it makes now seems very weak. It used to make a very strong solution. So I wonder was it “too strong” then, or is it “too weak” now. Or really, shouldn’t it make an identically strong supersaturated solution, inline with what the instructions state?
It’s a great idea, great product. The Feds got involved and shut the guy’s operations down. I think it had something to do with Iodine being used to make Methamphetamine. Go figure.

Jimmy quickly snapped some photos on his cell phone of the car license plate and the deadly boxes, and hustled back across the street. When the men returned, he got photos of them, too (including a new guy who had showed up to pitch in; he vaguely resembled Wally Cox, and wore a turtle neck, beret, and white socks stuffed into open-toed sandals. Penguin Facts was obviously involved, too). Then Jimmy called the office.

The technology is quite robust. NASA used in on their spacecraft.
I met the scientist that developed the first practical iodine water purification filter, Professor Jack Lambert of Kansas State University.
Patent US3817860A of 1972 was the first in a series.
Not a lot of iodine is needed to kill microorganisms. Even weak colored solutions, in equilibrium with solid iodine, are effective.
So you are good to go.

Ah, but he said that the supersaturated solution is then used to purify some larger volume of water:
"A couple ounces of water are kept in the bottle. A super saturated solution results, that is used to disinfect water in a canteen or whatever"
And it sounds me me like you are saying that the water in the purifier itself is safe, but when diluted will it still kill the little buggers? Surely it depends on volume of saturated sol. used, and how large the canteen is, no?

The thing is, if it is saturated, it means there is an exact concentration of iodine in the water. Therefore, the only thing that varies is how much of the iodine solution you then put in what volume of water you want to treat.

The concentration recommended depends on the water clarity. Large amounts of suspended organic matter require greater concentrations of disinfectant. The chlorine or iodine gets “bound up” in the organic matter and reduce effectiveness.
About 8mg per liter was the standard “dose” for iodine tablets, results in a brown color and a strong taste.
Yes - I was under the impression that the supersaturated solution would be identical all the way down to the end of the crystals. It doesn’t seem to be working out that way, which is why I thought to ask.

I remember being in my room, or even in bed many times late at night, and I would hear the garage door open -- it meant he was putting chains on the truck because it was going to snow.
So I would get dressed and go down into that freezing garage and help. First of the season meant we had to cobble together a set, and adjust length, etc. Usually replace a couple of the cross pieces that were broken or just too worn. I would help because he would be in bad mood and would yell at me otherwise.
Then the next morning we would go out (assuming no school.) and it would take forever. I didn't care - I loved the snow. Still do.

Trump Sues JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon for Debanking Him, for $5 Billion in Damages
Obviously I'm horrified at these woke Socialist Oligarchs using their corporate fiduciary power to push their personal political agendas -- the power of the corporation is meant to be wielded for the benefit of shareholders, not the woke cocksuckers sitting in the corner suites -- but I don't know if someone has a legal right to someone else's business. Then again, these are banks, one of the most regulated industries in the world. It's very likely the left has cluttered the US code with all sorts of "fairness in banking" regulations.President Donald Trump on Thursday, Jan. 22, sued JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its CEO Jamie Dimon for $5 billion, accusing the bank of dropping Trump as a client for political reasons after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The lawsuit, which Trump had threatened for days, was filed in state court in Florida as Trump returns from Davos, Switzerland, where he attended the World Economic Forum.I find this problematic:
See, the problem is that JP Morgan will argue that it was good for the corporation to "distance itself" from Trump. Corporations get away with doing a lot of political crap -- which should be ultra vires, against the compact that created and governs the corporation -- by calling it "goodwill." If a lefty CEO wants to donate to BLM -- obviously not something in the interest of the shareholders -- he can justify it by saying it creates public goodwill for the corporation, and therefore actually does benefit the shareholders, albeit indirectly. And judges rarely second-guess CEOs about their "goodwill" decision making. (They ought to, because CEOs use corporations to vindicate their personal agendas, but judges stay hands-off to allow corporations to donate huge amounts of money to the repulsive left.) And I'm afraid that Trump, by stating in his own filing that JP Morgan felt it had to "distance itself" from him due to the "political tide at the moment," has made JP Morgan's defense for it.
"Plaintiffs are confident that JPMC's unilateral decision came about as a result of political and social motivations, and b>JPMC's unsubstantiated, 'woke' beliefs that it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views," the lawsuit reads. "In essence, JPMC debanked Plaintiffs' Accounts because it believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing so."

I've read that it basically allows Europe to fund its socialized medicine, as does the practice of Big Pharma charging the US way more than them, and then building their manufacturing over there too.
Trump is going to turn that all around, of course, so maybe be won't have snooty Europeans giving us an attitude about how uncivilized our health care system is.
But I'm not sure where Greenland left off. Trump said something about a "framework for a deal", or something like that, but that's not an actual deal. Some are declaring victory for Trump, but it sounds to me like it's progress has been made, but the negotiating is ongoing.

So much of what they were rehashing of Jack Smith's shenanigans pointed out that he included a gag order in practically every move he made.
He even argued--and some judge bought it--that the Speaker of the House was a "flight risk", to get the court to sign off on a gag order on AT&T.

NATO itself does not do that, it is EU nations shirking their NATO defense requirements that does that. Before the 90s Germany and France had serious militaries that have since atrophied to nothing.

the reason Congress never addresses such abuses is, because each side wants to be in charge of the abuse whenever theyhave the majority

Momentum play on silver, gold is a traditional hedge. You see some movement out of crypto into metals though because of the possible quantum computing threat.
Silver price is apparently based on a mismatch between contracts out for silver and the apparent physical amount of silver out there to satisfy the paper contracts.
China constricting supply is another reason. But there are substitutes for it in industrial processes and many played out mines become viable again if silver stays this high.

I don't think the price is from use but from speculation. 216.45 percent up year to date is not sustainable. Gold is up a mere 78 percent in comparison. Sell the silver, pivot that into gold or SP500 index.

Depends on your cost basis. If you bought at $20-30 bucks, the risk is you leave 300 percent return on the table. If you bought at $70, different equation. All depends on risk determination that an individual has. I have little appetite for getting rich quick so I tend to hedge in my assets rather than trying to reach a peak. Those that do can get fabulously rich or end up in the poor house. Their choice.
Momentum investments are hard to price to figure out the top of the market ride and when it all goes to shit. People are trading based on greed rather than fear not information or fundamentals like supply and demand.
Gamestop during the Wall Street Bets era hit 70 bucks, now trading about 22 bucks a share.

Supreme Court verdicts just aren't for progressives.

Heller was a DC resident. Heller vs. DC was decided in Heller's favor in 2008. I read somebody that said that DC has yet to allow Heller to own a gun.
I guess DC's working on that.

Policy. It is the policy of the United States that no American should be denied access to financial services because of their constitutionally or statutorily protected beliefs, affiliations, or political views, and to ensure that politicized or unlawful debanking is not used as a tool to inhibit such beliefs, affiliations, or political views. Banking decisions must instead be made on the basis of individualized, objective, and risk-based analyses.

Sorry you are completely wrong. The consumption of Silver for the past 5 years has exceeded production from mines and recycling by 20% per year. It isn't speculation, it is industrial demand. A Tomahawk cruise missile has 500 oz of silver in each one, and when it is used that 500 oz is vaporized and can't be recovered. Silver is the most conductive metal, and there is no substitute in the periodic table.

Patriot_Pack
@dig_metal William Kelly, better known as DaWokeFarmer, got booted from the U.S. Army with a bad-conduct discharge. He was in from about 2007 to 2011, but his stories don't add up--no combat infantry vet, no Afghanistan deployment, no Warrant Officer gig. Reality check: He was just an HR admin (MOS 42A), zero combat or overseas action. Back in 2008, court-martialed for stealing, which led to: - Dropped to Private (E-1). - That punitive BCD, basically "other than honorable" with major baggage. Dude fabricates his military record, he's a proven thief, and an alcoholic on top. Yet this is the fraud the left loves to elevate. Wake up, folks. #StolenValor #Exposed
Tucker Carlson: I condemn America for ending the war with Japan by dropping two nuclear weapons because they are inherently evil, actually they're "demonic" and literally created by demonic forces, and no one should have them. Also Tucker Carlson: Boy it sure would be swell if Iran got nukes because then they'd have leverage against the Jews, who must be eradicated. From the unregistered foreign agent's newsletter:
"I can guarantee you that if the Ayatollah gets a nuclear weapon, he will use it," Lindsey Graham said on Fox News last year. "I believe that with all my heart and soul." Oh, and of course, there's warmonger-in-chief Benjamin Netanyahu, who insists that "there is only one difference between Nazi Germany and the Islamic Republic of Iran... [Iran] is first seeking atomic weapons and, once it has them, will then start a world war."Weird, because he's about to tell you Iranian nukes could be used to pressure Israel to leave the poor Palestinian peace-lovers alone. Why would the warmongering Jews leave them alone unless they knew Iran might nuke them?
What are the chances Iran would actually launch a nuclear attack? History suggests they're zero, no matter what Senator Graham says.
There he is, attacking America for dropping the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima again. Weirdly enough, he thinks that nuclear missiles in the hands of the Ayatollah would bring peace and justice to the region:
No country in the so-called 'Axis of Evil' has ever deployed a nuke, because doing so would be an act of suicide. In fact, the United States is the only nation to unleash its nuclear might as an act of war. It's strange how Washington considers that a point of pride.
Could the Iranians obtaining The Bomb wind up being a good thing? Whether anyone in the foreign policy establishment admits it, North Korea's nuclearization has undeniably stabilized the Korean Peninsula. The region has seen no wars, coups, or interventionist-forced regime changes since 2006.Oh, it's also good that North Korea has nukes.
Would Iran becoming a nuclear power have the same effect on its region? Could it finally prompt America to leave the area alone, and incentivize Israel to drop its stated goal of controlling the Gaza Strip and the West Bank? Would it make the Iranian government less oppressive because it wouldn't have to worry about the West's constant decapitation ambitions?

I have to update and sign a conflict-of-interest disclosure if I want to remain employed. I have to do this four times a year.
Every. Quarter. Without fail. Or else. If I have a conflict of interest, it has to go for review with some top-level and not-very-nice people who will drag me over the coals. My company's conflict-of-interest disclosures are extremely broad, and must include anything that is OR could merely be construed as being a conflict of interest.
Yet federal judges - or magistrates or whatever - and prosecutors and LEOs and bureaucrats all walk around and "do their jobs" with egregious conflicts of interest and it doesn't matter - so long as they're reliable Party Men.

It will be undone one way or another. Shutting down the law schools and turning it into a undergraduate major like Euroland would be a start.
Removing the ABA from accrediting law schools would be another. State bars are more than capable of doing that or the state supreme courts.

"Massie’s lone GOP “nay” on H.R. 7147 undermines critical DHS funding for border security and ICE operations. The bill’s $10B ICE allocation isn’t about cruelty—it’s about enforcing laws that Democrats openly sabotage. While 212 Republicans stood firm to fund deportations and detention beds, Massie sided with radicals who want to defund enforcement entirely.
This isn’t fiscal conservatism; it’s enabling chaos. The $115M cut to ICE’s removal ops he backed would’ve forced the release of thousands of detained illegals, including violent offenders.
Real border security requires resources, not performative austerity that leaves agents underfunded while cartels exploit weakness."

Atrocities or not, whatever. I think the Japanese generally deserved it, but that isn't a justification for unleashing the most terrible weapon in history.
What *is* a justification is that it finally convince factions in the Imperial Japanese government to deal with the problem, overcome the "war forever, to the last man" crowd, and end the fucking war, sparing an inestimable number of American lives and unquantifiable amounts of American treasure.
The Japanese were top-notch shitheads in the middle of the last century, but they could have been as shitty as they'd liked if they didn't involve us in it.

2) The US gains sovereignty over any parts it wants for American military bases.
3) The US will have access to the entire Arctic Circle.

A nuclear war is "winnable" if you don't value human life.
It all depends on your "victory conditions."
If Mao or the Soviet generals reasoned, "We'll lose 95% of our population and 95% of our land will b e contaminated for a thousand years _ but if we kill 98% of the Americans and contaminate 98% of their land, then I regard that as "winning."
The very concept of "winnable" is a cultural construct. People with different (amoral, psychopathic) personalities might eve deem planetary annihilation as "winning."

Details have started to emerge about the US "purchase" of Greenland. It wasn’t exactly a purchase, but it was an EXCELLENT deal that includes:
1) Denmark must continue paying the Greenland population 600 million dollars per year.
2) The US gains sovereignty over any parts it wants for American military bases.
3) The US will have access to the entire Arctic Circle.
4) The US obtains the mineral exploration rights.
5) China and Russia are not permitted to enter Greenland.
6) The US will continue to be part of NATO in exchange for all of this.
More details are expected to be released soon by Marco Rubio

On day one, the Trump II administration knew (or fucking had to know) that the judiciary was in full blown insurrection mode.
Why they decided that the best course of action was to bend over to it, then try, with limited success, to get it on the straight and narrow? It makes zero sense.
They had to have known.
It's a huge problem that was evident in Trump's first term. Did they not learn a thing?
They had 4 years to figure out a plan... and apparently didn't.
Biggest failure so far. And it's ramifications are still being felt.

If Iran had nuclear weapons, they'd have cover to be even more outrageously criminal than thdy are now. That's why they want them.
And their neighbors will immediately want nuclear weapons, too. Saudi Arabia funded Pakistan's nuclear program with the understanding they could get nuclear weapons on request.
So, it would be quite bad even if Iran didn't use nuclear weapons on other countries. There is of course, no good reason to assume they wouldn't. Look what they've done to their own people, they don't give a damn.

But then the government released all that information on phenomena they could not explain.
UFOs are real shit. I don't know what they are. But there is something that manifests and is categorized under the impression of UFOs.
Also, Tucker never said they were aliens. He thinks (unsurprisingly) that they are demonic.
He's not far off as one researcher of alien abductions was not allowed to publish his findings that 100% of all alien abductions have ended when the visitee invoked the name of Jesus Christ.
He confronted several journals demanding that he was just reporting the cases. And a few told them they knew but they could never publish that and not lose standing as scientific journals.

You can register a complaint with the boss Ewok. He brought him up. The comment section is not going to fix the judiciary. To do that, legally, that requires Scotus to stomp on these judges and piss on them from on high. It requires the Senate to confirm appellate judges and for it to end its stupid blue slip veto for the Judiciary Cmte. That would end the process of blue state senators only getting the judges they want rather than the normal presidential process of nomination and vote on nominees. Even more important and unprecedented for blue slips to be used wholesale to block district attorney appointments in blue states. Senate should bypass the Judiciary in this case and bring the votes to the floor for these DAs in blue areas. Same with district court nominees.

Oldcat, I think it is more that the frozen Russian assets are making billions for the EU and they got to the point this year of wanting to steal all of these hundreds of billions. Trump prevented that. Even so, the Euros borrowed against these assets to give 40 billion or some such to Ukraine. I am wondering if their banking systems collapse if they don't have the spice flowing one way or another to pay back Ukrainian loans.

The north Koreans only invaded the South with the Soviets (and Chinese communists) in their corner, and the Soviets had recently acquired nuclear weapons. Without the Soviet bomb, there would have been no invasion in the first place.

-so I believe the horrors and injustice, because I know people can be evil.
-I always question numbers because it is a hard thing to judge.
Example (which i am not saying is untrue): there was a naval battle during the first punic war (Acta, iianm.) If the Roman reports are to be believed something like 300k men were engaged on both sides.
The Romans were masters of logistics, but i keep wondering, how did they feed that many guys in the same area. No refrigeration. No canning.
Not exactly the same thing, but ancient sources always go overboard on how many people were involved and how many people were killed. This is not to dent what happened, but it is always best to be skeptical.

Interesting question.
I imagine they were eating a lot of seafood, and probably had ferries bringing in bread and other food from the nearest friendly shoreline.

Xi's emperor act by destroying the rotation and commitee system of first among equals means all the bad shit sticks to Xi and there haven't been a lot of good things going on in China lately.
And Xi is getting old without a clear successor as that would obviously be another threat to his power.

These fleets had to put into land often to refill water. Rations are a lot easier, biscuit, vegs, dried meat as cargo. You can know pretty accurately given the sizes of the warcraft are fairly well known and needed tons of rowers and marines.
Land battles are more iffy but the number estimates are routinely way high. There have been lots of studies trying to figure out the real sizes.

PLA generals are pretty big corporate types there as the Army is as much a money making corporation as it is a fighting one. Xi is killing the Chicom economy and one of the last big Chicom real estate firms is going into bankruptcy. It was the best managed one fwiw.

But we get the mineral rights to Greenland and our "payment" is the status quo.
So, now we're actually getting more for being stuck in NATO.
When I saw that Trump wasn't giving up on Greenland, I imagined that some advisor probably told him that it was a pipedream of perhaps several presidents but always dismissed as undoable. Then I leaned that its actually the case that past presidents had proposed a purchase of Greenland.
"I'm the president to actually do it" is probably the thing that motivated Trump. This fits in well with other aspects of Trump's observable behavior--including his self-promotion.

Roman sailors sustained themselves during long sea battles and voyages through a combination of preserved staples, onboard cooking, and supplementary foraging. The core of their diet consisted of barley bread (a durable, long-lasting hardtack), grains, legumes, olives, and nuts, which were stored for extended periods without spoiling. Archaeological evidence from shipwrecks, such as the Yassi Ada, reveals large ceramic cauldrons, braziers, and fireproof tiles, indicating that sailors prepared hot meals like soups and porridges at sea using controlled heat sources to minimize fire risk on wooden ships.
To supplement their diet, sailors fished using hooks and lead nets, especially during calm weather, and relied on dried or salted fish when fishing was impossible due to storms.
Olive oil and vinegar (posca) were standard rations, with posca also serving as a safe, non-contaminated drink that helped prevent scurvy. The Romans also developed innovative cooking systems, such as a brazier with a water tank to regulate temperature and prevent lead from melting, showcasing their engineering adaptability.

CBS: The Murder Rate Fell 20% In One Year, the Largest One Year Drop In American History
Or, the largest drop since they've been keeping numbers. So the largest drop in history, according to the data we have.
Must be something the Democrats did, right?Murders plummeted more than 20% in U.S. last year, the largest drop on record, study shows Murders plummeted more than 20% in 2025 from the year before, the single-largest one-year drop on record -- and it might be the lowest murder rate in the U.S. since 1900, a study released Thursday by the Council on Criminal Justice found. The annual crime trends report analyzed data from 40 large cities across the United States for 13 different crime types, including murder, carjacking, theft and drug offenses.Note that the numbers were cooked under Biden, with carjacking, theft, and various other crime numbers fraudulently reduced, so the real fall from 2023 and 2024 is actually must greater.
Probably just due to stores in cities closing to stop the rampant, government-permitted looting.
Alongside homicides, which dropped 21% from 2024, carjackings have declined 61% since 2023, while shoplifting is down 10% since 2024.
In general, the overall crime rate declined, with violent crimes at or below levels seen in 2019, the analysis found -- drug offenses were the only category that rose during this period, while sexual assault remained even. Researchers pointed toward multiple reasons for the large drop in homicides, but cautioned that "identifying decisive factors with certainty is challenging."LOL, of course, no "researcher" can possibly figure out why the murder rate should drop at the same time we're locking people up and deporting foreign marauders. Must be an environmental factor. Like maybe people are eating less eggs or something.
Senior research specialist Ernesto Lopez, lead author of the report, said that while the "overall reduction in crime, especially homicide, is welcome news," he noted homicide rates had been steadily dropping since the late 2000s, prior to a notable spike in 2020. "It is possible that these rates reflect a longer-term downward trend punctuated by periods of elevated homicides," Lopez said.Insane. I mentioned this on Friday, I think, but "years of steadily dropping" (after the Biden Crime Wave peak) doesn't explain a sudden single-year 20% plummet. "Steadily declining" means "falling 3-4% per year." This minor trend does not explain the huge fall.
A group of criminal justice experts convened by CCJ had varied answers as to what caused such a precipitous drop in homicides, but they were generally in agreement that the stabilization of routines, an influx of COVID-19 relief funds and program intervention were strong drivers.Oh of course -- it wasn't enforcement, imprisonment, and deportation which lowered murders by one-fifth, it was, of course, liberal government spending. This must be due to Liberal Government Spending as well:
Trump's Second Term Sees Record ICE Gang Arrests and Crime Drop 20 hours ago U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeted violent offenders from groups like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, with the FBI disrupting 1,800 gangs--a 210% jump from 2024--and making 67,000 total arrests. These efforts aligned with a 20% national drop in murders, the sharpest ever, as preliminary data showed homicides potentially at 1960s lows in major cities. While DHS credited removing dangerous criminals, including nearly 3 million illegal immigrants who left the U.S., analysts noted two-thirds of ICE arrests involved people without U.S. criminal records, and critics pointed to broader post-pandemic trends.
Anonymous sources lie but results don’t.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic
============
In truth, I was also wondering because of underreporting by victims who just don't bother anymore and because of the absurd redefinitions of felonies, theft, etc. That could erase a few percentage points, but the homicide and carjacking stats are amazing.
Speaking of which, what are the carjackers doing for a "living" now? People who jack cars are probably already on food stamps and Section 8 housing, but they were using that carjacking money for something. Drugs, I guess, so where are they getting their drug money now?

Nobody goes outside anymore. everyone's just rotting indoors on their phones instead of getting into beef with the neighbors
we're seeing a slow retreat from the anomalous spike from 2020-21, which was caused by COVID making people go insane and Post-Floyd de-policing initiatives.
Leaded gasoline might have been banned quite some time ago but it takes some for the stuff to cycle through the environment and to finally sequester somewhere.
Shows like CSI:Miami convinced people that murders are easy to solve. Even an effortkiller like Luigi was caught really fast.
It’s because in some states half of agencies stopped reporting because they instituted new standards
With people living longer than ever, and smaller generations replacing the ones coming before, this murder rate decrease trend will probably continue.
Here in Chicago, we invested in prevention programs (until Trump cut the funding. When you have preventative controls, you don’t need nearly as many police.

As dumb as it is (and it definitely doesn't account for a 20% drop), I'd imagine murder is very much a younger (black) man's game, so as the population in general skews older, the murder rate overall probably would slowly drop.

Yep. A lot of murders are criminals killing other criminals, particularly where gangs are strong, but it does spill over to the rest of us in urban and suburban areas.
To a killer, after the first one, the rest are free. And almost always there is a long trail of crimes leading up to killing someone from petty to violence on the way. Unlike infotainment tells you, murderers do not just 'snap' but are good people at heart. They almost always displayed signs of criminal and violent behavior before killing people.

I've shared the long version of this here before, but the public will never understand how many "overdose" deaths weren't the traditional "drank too much" or "snorted too much" overdose, but instead were product (weed, coke, meth, heroin) that was tainted with fentanyl.
I was watching television earlier this week and realized that a friend of mine who died about 5 years ago probably died from fentanyl tainted weed or coke--he was a happy guy and not one to take fentanyl directly. I know of at least one other friend of mine that passed under similar circumstances. When someone like that dies, they never announce what the drug was, but neither of these guys would have sought out fentanyl, nor done enough of another chemical to classically "overdose".

Provisional CDC data shows an estimated 72,836 overdose deaths in the 12-month period ending August 2025, representing a 20.6% decrease from the prior year. This follows a steeper 27% drop in 2024, marking more than two years of declining overdose deaths—the longest sustained decline in decades.
The second half makes some sense, with Trump's border and drug crackdown. I don't know why 2024 would be significantly lower than 2023? Biden/Dems didn’t seem to be cracking down in preparation for the election or anything.

Uh huh. Sure. Everyone knows the car thefts are being done by organized , international crime rings, not random people deciding, “Hey, cool car! Lemme see if the door is unlocked…”
Trump’s aggressive deportations of TdA and other criminals did this.

Ironically, of all property crimes, car thefts are reported about 80 percent of the time. Outlier. Same with aggravated assault, robbery and murder compared with other crimes. Rape and simple assault are 40 percent or lower reporting rates. From 2018 and similar stats in 2024.

Plus, it increased about 30% during the height of COVID. This is a continuing trend and a correction. Its always clear who gets their opinions from social media vs real information.
This is a misleading study. It examines yearly and monthly rates of 13 violent, property, and drug offenses reported to police in 40 large American cities that have consistently reported monthly data over the past eight years. The 40 cities are not necessarily representative of all jurisdictions in the United States.
Not a large sample size, data is subject to change based on revisions by local officials. Not the worst study ive seen but not good either.

Ironically there is also a relationship between whether the police are doing their job and reporting crimes and not.
NCVS documents that crime reporting drops when people feel the cops can't or won't do anything. Rises in a virtuous cycle when they feel otherwise.
The massive surges of illegals has also made some of the last twenty years or so wonky on reporting data, particularly of sex crimes. You really have to dive down to get it but illegal immigrants are less likely to report crime across the board but particularly sex assaults-rape, pedo shit, etc.

the Inky is losing it over this
SO - the deal is, the liberty bell used to be basically visible and set up in the Mall (Independence Mall) with like a perimeter but you didn't have to pay to see it, you could just see it. (there was a guard tho so you couldn't mess with it). the "walls" around it were clear and it was open to anyone during the day, then locked at night. but always visible.
then they decided that wasn't safe enough, so. the city built a whole big building, you could no longer see the Bell, you had to pay to enter.
the ENTIRE THING was about slavery. about how Washington had slaves?!?! it was the most stupid woke nonsense you had to wend your way thru on your way to just see the damn Bell.
SO! PDJT found out, and they're taking all that shit AWAY! it's amazing! ugly as sin "art" sure - all just a bad joke. fantastic! now they should replace the walls around the Bell with something clear and stop making people pay to see it.

"Murders in U.S. counties are highly concentrated, with a small number of urban counties accounting for the vast majority of homicides nationwide.
Top 5% of counties in population size accounted for 73% of all U.S. homicides in 2020, according to data from the Crime Prevention Research Center and Reddit analyses.
Half of all U.S. counties recorded zero homicides in 2020, highlighting the extreme imbalance in crime distribution."
You will see a correlation between a red county and few if any murders and a blue county where it is endemic. Some of the murders in red counties are actually perps that drift in and out of urban centers or along interstates when they travel from place to place.

And wait, there's more:
Hylden’s reach extends further. The firm also lobbied for the Somali Museum of Minnesota, founded by Osman Ali in 2011. Ali pleaded guilty to fraud in a separate case, yet the museum received $4.5 million in state funding just months later. This isn’t isolated; Minnesota’s Somali community has been at the epicenter of multiple fraud schemes, including a $104 million housing scam, $399 million in autism fraud, and billions in remittances to Somalia. Hylden’s involvement in these orbits raises red flags about how lobbying dollars influence public funds.

Example 2,398,478 of how to lie with statistics. Note the specifier: U.S. criminal records. Arrestees may have had criminal records from their country of origin, and thus a priority for deportation. Also, ICE doesn't just arrect illegal aliens; they're also responsible for customs enforcement (it's literally in the name), and so a lot of arrests could be due to violations of customs violations (including, I'd assume, illicit drug trade).

That one didn't shock me because I figured that the top 5% of counties in population probably had close to 73% of the total population.
But the interwebs say it's substantially less. Half the population lives in the top 4.6% of counties by population. So probably somewhere in the 51 - 55% range for the entire top 5%.

But we are also in an era where everyone lies about everything, and this is a scenario where the left and the right will both want to lie to achieve their own ends. The left fakes reporting of crime to make the problem look less severe and the right has a desire to show that policy has achieved meaningful results. There is no evidence that the right is cooking the books, but it *could* be.
I have no idea how much to handicap it. I will assume the reported figure is off by 100%, and that the real decline is a still quite-good 10%.

Also, they lie by defining "criminal record" as "conviction only."
So a guy out on bail for his murder rap is counted as "no criminal record."
But the immigration law is clear--even an arrest is sufficient to justify deporting you.

I'm in south rather than north TX. If there's an ice storm (which I've seen predicted), we could lose power due to downed lines, and if that takes a week to restore (like it did with a wind storm in recent memory), the stores themselves might not be open for some of that period. I don't plan on laying in supplies for a huge amount of time, but I'll have more on hand than usual. Unfortunately, we have not had great luck with keeping the power on or restoring it when the weather is nastier than usual here. And by "luck," I mean our government hates us and is incompetent.

Another Church Disrupting Water Buffalo Arrested
Update: Loud-Mouthed, Foul-Mouthed Bearded Jerkoff Arrested Too, After Telling Pam Bondi "Come Get Me"
Insurrectionist mayor Jacob Frey has refused to condemn the church intimidation, now demands that the ringleader be freed to eat all of our food:
Nick SortorPhysical ugliness and morbid obesity are contributing factors to radical extremism in women. That's not a joke. It's an insult, but it's seriously meant: No one whose prom night was a dream winds up in antifa.
@nicksortor 2h 🚨 BREAKING -- ANOTHER PERP WALK: Chauntyll Louisa Allen has officially been charged with CONSPIRACY TO DEPRIVE RIGHTS due to her role in the St. Paul Church riots The ringleader, Nekima Levy Armstrong, was also arrested this morning. They're in federal custody at the direction of @AGPamBondi
. NEXT UP: Don Lemon?! 😏

For the moment, Don Lemon is not being charged. But we'll see.
As I have said over and over and over again, the biggest threat to this country right now is the ongoing left-wing judicial insurrection against the rule of law, and the abject refusal of Republican representatives to do anything about it.

@grey4626
PERP WALK PARADE...KEEP IT FUCKING ROLLING Another one bites the dust: Chauntyll Louisa Allen, St. Paul school board parasite and professional chaos merchant, just got federally indicted for CONSPIRACY TO DEPRIVE RIGHTS. Her crime? Helping orchestrate the sacrilegious invasion of Cities Church...storming a house of God mid-service, terrorizing worshippers, screaming in their faces, all because the pastor dares to serve his country with ICE. And the high priestess of this blasphemous mob, Nekima Levy Armstrong...self-anointed civil rights queen, race-hustling attorney, the venomous ringleader who planned and executed the whole disgusting spectacle...hauled out in cuffs this morning. Federal custody. No soft landing. No media bailout. Just cold steel and the long-overdue taste of consequences. These people aren't activists. They're domestic terrorists in activist drag. They psychologically crave the thrill of domination...invading sacred spaces, silencing prayer, bullying the faithful because it feeds their bloated egos and fragile power fantasies. They thought churches were fair game, that worshippers had no rights worth protecting. They needed to believe their cause sanctified any violation. That delusion just got shattered by federal indictments. You feel it? That's justice finally sharpening its blade after years of deliberate dulling. No more free passes for the approved class of agitators. No more looking away while they desecrate what others hold holy. Keep. The. Motherfucking. Arrests. Coming. Every last one of them. Round up the whole mob. Apply the law with lethal evenness...no selective mercy, no political favoritism. The same statutes that protected their protests now protect the churchgoers they terrorized. Beautiful symmetry. And don't stop there. Next up: Don fucking Lemon and every smug, riot-apologist ghoul who spent years cheering this kind of intimidation from the safety of their studios. Drag them in too. Make them explain why disrupting worship is "speaking truth to power" when they do it, but "insurrection" when anyone else dares. The great correction is underway. The era of unequal justice is bleeding out. And it feels ***damn glorious.

But prior to the Internet, and cell phone apps and “social media” they were almost completely isolated.
“There’s an App for that!” Indeed. There is a website exclusively devoted to people who obsess about oil changes for their car. Frequency, brands, type, additive packages. What viscosity? 10w-30? 20w-50? Rotella?
My point is we shouldn’t be surprised by this, it is or was inevitable I suppose. I remember when “Flash Mobs” became a thing.
“That’s so cute!” everyone exclaimed. They are singing happy birthday at the Mall to someone. But my cynical side knew this type of coordination and directed action could, and would be used for exactly what we’ve been seeing for several years now.

Yes. And as I pointed out earlier, the KKK Act does not require an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. Just an agreement. So anyone in on the agreement to raid the church -- even those who didn't go into the church -- can be prosecuted under the Act.
My guess is the text and paper trail for the rancid lepers who physically stormed the church is very long and almost certainly includes some "big names" in the Democrap party. This raid wasn't organic. It was planned and orchestrated. There are gonna be a lot of people on these text strings.

The KKK Act is broader than that. As I pointed out earlier, while a charge under the Act is itself a felony, the underlying agreement that forms the conspiracy does not have to involve any acts that would constitute a felony.
The Act also does not require an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. Just an agreement. So anyone in on the agreement to raid the church -- even those who didn't go into the church -- can be prosecuted under the Act.

It's more than that though- the ease of finding people just like you means that most people don't even take the effort (or worse, never learned how) to find ways of living/interacting with people who aren't like them.
It's a useful tool, and helpful for building lasting relationships because you are never going to find someone who is perfect to date/marry, so you have to learn to accommodate one another. Not now.

You need to read 18 USC 241. This is a major felony with punishment Starting at 10 years in Federal prison and ranging up to a Death Penalty. Because it is a Conspiracy statute, the financiers of this action are also on the hook. This means the Soros Family is on the hook if they financed or agreed to this action.
Because the crimes were part of a national (wire based) network of conspirators the case can be tried anywhere wires reach in the US, it does not have to be in front of a jury of Commie sympathizers in Minnesota, for example it can be tried in Corsicana TX.

I don't think lonely people are the problem. The problem is perverts and weirdos.
Before social media and chat forums, an isolated pervert was just a pervert, and I think most of them knew they were perverts or at least outcasts. The rise of SM enabled them to link up to great numbers of other perverts, and that makes them feel powerful and less marginalized.
Antifag is literally just a big bukkake link-up of weirdos, perverts, criminals, and foul stenches from the ghosts of basements past.

Lesbians only want to date women with tacos, gays only want guys with sausages. Pansexuals will date anyone, do not care whatever is between your legs and however you identify.
So they are the least homophobic of the LGBT homophobes, because they accept trans people as trans and will date them.

We have seen how democrats in power have treated the same offices, and we want that for us.

A lot of it started with Epstein stumble for Bondi and Patel. Some was an unrealistic idea of how fast the DoJ and FBI which was and is fairly hostile to enforcing the law against fellow leftists could be fixed. Epstein crap has been turned into an op by the left but it became an example of how the law is not and has not been applied equally.
The Don wants Bondi there for one reason, she won't go behind his back to appoint special federal prosecutors and other shit so as to meet the Jeffy Sessions std of cowardice in office. So the Deputy AGs can get on with trying to fix the DoJ, arrest traitors, and overcome the blue slip procedures that Dems use to prevent permanent District attorneys and other officials from being appointed in blue states. Patel, much of the same ire.
I don't think either of them knew how bad the rot was in their institutions-sort of like how the Don trusted our nat sec community in his first term.

It would be an interesting poll that asks people two questions: 1) Do you consider yourself a religious and moral person? 2) Do you think Americans are generally religious and moral?
Maybe add a 3rd question referencing John Adams quote regarding whom he thought the Constitution was made for. 3) Do you think there is a growing percentage of the population to whom the Constitution has become irrelevant?

Wasn't her fault that the Comey indictments and the Tish indictments were thrown out by blue judges. That is the fault of the Senate GOP that prevents Trump from naming district attorneys in blue areas via allowing the Dems to veto GOP nominees in cmte. Fuck Grassley and fuck the Senate Judiciary for allowing such a stupid rule to persist. Its origins were back in the seg era for Southern Democrats to block Republican integrationists as district judges or district attorneys to go after lynchings, etc.
The US Senate is our problem and our Senators have not had their feet held to the fire enough.

* State that ICE is arresting children and the DOJ believes that ICE DOESN’T NEED A WARRANT TO BURST INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES! Hello: the 4th Amendment in the Bill of Rights?
* Explain the according the GOP, the Clinton's must testify to Congress or be held in contempt, yet numerous Republicans, including some on the very committee, blew off their own subpoenas with zero consequences

I think it might be something a bit more timely. Not only are Frey, Walz and other elected officials in Minnesota under investigation for their part in the fraud they have also been subpoenaed for potentially obstructing ICE.

Posted by: JackStraw at January 22, 2026 03:54 PM
I think frey is going to run for governor now that walz is permanently out of the picture. He can claim that he had zero control or oversight over state money for the fraud and he would be right. Not saying that he wasn't hip deep in the fraud but he is not on the hook for state or federal money going out the door to the fraudsters.

We didn't know how deep the rot was either. Nobody who wasn't deeply involved with it did and anyone who pretends they did is lying.
They took over probably they most corrupt institutions in DC. The first thing they had to do was start getting rid of the people who were part of the swamp and bring new people in and get things moving with what we all can see is a deeply corrupted judiciary.
They're both doing a good job. FBI arrests are up over 200% in the first year including almost half of the 10 most wanted. Biden got less in 4 years. I think Trump likes them because they are doing a good job.

I am, absolutely, astounded by the overrepresentation of pedophiles in the arrests they've made. Is this practice of raping kids accepted in their originating countries? Overlooked?
I used to think pedophilia, while presently more visible, was a rare thing. It would appear to be the norm for a LARGE number of illegal immigrants (and legal immigrants, for that matter).

Child sexual abuse was the way of the world for thousands of years. It still is in a lot of cultures. The idea that millennia-old human predispositions would just vanish is ... very optimistic. Sadly, instead of ruthlessly punishing child sexual abuse, we are in the process of normalizing it.

Cattle originated from the southern Eurasian steppes, and cope well with cold weather, but they can't forage under snow for fodder like horses can, so they tended to either live in warmer regions or find marshes and river bottoms to winter in.

Girl maybe, but there was that bubblebutt boy a few seasons back (the first Gaylympics, when NBC was falling all over itself to get some skier's partner to the finish line interview so they could kiss, etc), who was hyped incessantly, then didn't even medal.
And hadn't a chance in hell for medalling anyway, because he didn't do tricks that were sufficiently highly scored to place him in serious contention.
This is a retread rollout, and plenty of girls sign on to fringe identities that don't necessarily mean gay, but trendy.

"DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY THESE GOONS! REMEMBER THE CONSTITUTION!" No fear, just continued determination in the face of this occupation. Heed well this man's words.
It takes courage to engage in acts of civil disobedience that could get you arrested, and I applaud him for that. He's also a veteran if I'm not mistaken. More of us should aspire to be like him, myself included.
No Minnesota jury will convict this man, so I'm sure they'll do what they can to venue shop him down to rural lousisinana.
In the end, they probably won't charge him. They'll arrest him and hold him for a couple of days and then drop the charges. It's intimidation.

Stacked Rapper Nicki Minaj Says She Wants the "C***sucker" "Thug" Don Lemon in Jail, That He Would Never Invade a Mosque
I love how Don Lemon keeps attacking the people at this church and saying that he practices "a different kind of Christianity."
Oh? What kind of Christianity is that, rump raider? By the way, he accuses Minaj of having recorded the disgraceful porn song "W.A.P." Um, no, that was Cardi B. Megan Thee Stallion. Lemon claims Minaj, who is black, isn't "African American" because she "comes from the islands." I guess Jamaicans and Haitians aren't black? But Don Lemon, who has a lot of white in him, and I don't just mean when his "husband" doses him with amyl nitrite, says that she isn't black?

There was a period where The Big Thing in thuggish rap was vivid vocal depictions of fucking and eating ass. Entire "songs" were written about it.
I went to a gangsta rap "concert" where half the lyrics were about assholes and what should be done with them. (Yes, I know, my mistake. But I took a girl who wanted to go, and she was hot ....)
It was at that point I started thinking that these wannabe thugs are secretly gay as fuck. This was before Puff Daddy's trial and allegations of gay fagassery.

The "Islanders" seemed to hold themselves, their employment status, educational backgrounds, and their countries of origin in high esteem. (Some of the internal friction was allegations that the people of the US for many generations were spoiled, lazy & less kept in appearance, while the more recent Islanders were rewarded with better jobs, etc..)
I thought the concept of BLM might have been created to unite such groups into one more powerful political body within the US. And I've also wondered if that has hurt (to some degree) Black U.S citizens who can still trace their family roots to slavery within this country. (🤷♀️ I stay out of it.

It is a form of argument where they claim every historical figure was gay (or black, female, or some other FIRST! in their wretched alphabet).
So one person says something then the whole subgroup picks it up and amplifies it to idiocy level. Famous Brit historian did that shit with claiming blacks settled the British Islands first. Genetics shows it is plainly bullshit but yet she persists in her idiocy.

People take on the social values of the ones around them.
It's funny how "gay" became an identity, when it was historically understood to be a behavior. You could do it or not do it. The very concept of being 100 percent one way or the other is very modern, no doubt part of the framing to equate sexual perversity with an immutable characteristic like race.
And yet a lot of Christian """leaders""" and denominations have adopted this view, that expecting people to follow ancient codes of behavior is now impractical because reasons.

A Michigan State football player was accused just before he went out for the NFL draft and it ruined his career. He was vindicated, but then the accuser said it was rigged, so he was retried, and convicted, and this time he sued and won a hefty settlement. During the lawsuit it was revealed that the accuser wanted unprotected sex with him so she could be his baby mama. So the opposite was actually the case - he was accused because he would NOT sleep with her.
She also sued and got a settlement as well, because otherwise it wouldn't be "fair."

With gay marriage, we backed down on the principle of rule by consensus and capitulated to "being nice".
And then within months, it was about "being nice" as a florist or a baker. And even though the prior advocates of "being nice" who were sort of in the conservative ear, said they disagreed with the forced niceness, even though they assured us, it was only about people getting married, not the compulsion of others.
After that it was a period of popular forced compulsion, ending in "cancel culture" because you did not meet the facade society's version of "nice" enough.
We're coming back off that bender, but it's going to be a hard struggle back.

Yes, that's why I think most of the allegations were false. But it doesn't explain why regret would happen disproportionately with athletes. There seemed to be some other dynamic going on.

Athletes are studs. The regret is greater, because the experience was greater.
Plus, athletes have a LOT to lose, and extortion probably works out better, for where it's a purely mercenary play. Plus as you said, a rigged system that is designed to be exploited with no consequences for the false accuser.

We allowed courts to decide what opinion society should have and what new values it should have. And suddenly the baseline disapproval of homosexual relationships became invisible under the forced facade of mandatory public acceptance.
And I'm not even as much against gays and gay marriage as a number of people here.
But I said when Obergefell dropped, this is a forced facade of approval.
And even that we swallowed to "be nice".
Now, we just have progs demanding that we "be nice" to every facet of their worldview. In fact, their worldview defines all that is "nice".
We got here through SCOTUS judges.

No, it is more that if you have no self control, no belief in agency, no belief in volition, then what you do is always someone else's or something else's fault. That leads to depravity, demonic or otherwise because it is opening the door to being dominated by very bad things.
The Bible as the Word, is a shield of sort because it literally explains the way via multiple examples (bad and good) how to prevent sin from dominating your life and that is by accepting we should control our wants with the assistance of the Lord.
Good study of hundreds of thousands of Christians indicates that reading the Bible four or more times per week leads to less anxiety, less depression, less consumption of substances, less desire for the unnatural and seeking out pron, etc. and promotes virtuous behavior.

"Thicc Rapper Nicki Minaj" is also acceptable.
>>> Oh, and Lemon is on a defamation tour against Minaj's family, claiming, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that members of her family are sex criminals.
Supposedly her brother or husband are in jail for child abuse stuff. It's been suggested by leftists that the only reason she spoke at Turning Point and sounds conservative now is that she wants Trump to pardon them and get them out of jail. Like how Trump helped the Kardashians get a relative out of jail by being nice to Trump.
I have done zero research on it, so I have no idea if any of that is true.

AI is the next big wet dream for the globalist elites, so we're going to be all-in on that because that's where the money is.
In addition to the compute and DRAM capacity being diverted out of the consumer market to AI in datacenters, we have another problem that's going to kick us in the dick way harder than that:
We don't produce enough electricity to power it all, and it takes a Long Fucking Time to build generating capacity.

Cosplay bullshit from this one. The ones you have to watch are the low key silent ones like Nashville trans school shooter. Not the algorithm amplified bullshit from TikTok or X type influencers.
The influencers (and many Democrats) are trying to get the silent nutjobs to break enough mentally so they will go out and kill. They are winding up the mentally ill as toys to go out to kill their enemies.
Same as jihadis using retarded or drugged up types for suicide bombing.

Or the part where she wipes phantom tears?
But, the whole thing just keeps getting better as it goes along and she keeps stacking more and more grievances and horrors and emotional triggers.
I can't believe she didn't include the part where her mom was in the hospital from exhaustion from taking care of her sick grandma for 24 hours straight because grandma is scared to go out due to ICE and caught a cold from hiding in her unheated bedroom because she heard ICE is tracking houses with lights on and she was only trying to bring her mom some hot soup in the hospital because she can't afford the food at the hospital and she needed her insulin because she's diabetic and ....
LOL, she really could have never stopped.

Looking at the arrest video, it seems at least half the ICE guys were black or at least non-white. The chances of a white guy calling her a racial slur in front of fellow black officers is ... zero.

Good afternoon.
The doctor came through just now.
I was contingently approved for a heart transplant pending these last few tests, which I have now passed, so they are presenting me to the committee this afternoon for final approval to be listed.
There are different paths they can take, but they're going to start out by presenting the path that we've discussed here, which is to put in the impella and keep me in the hospital until a heart becomes available. The committee could also decide that there is a better course of action. Whatever they decide, I will know by tomorrow.
So now it's all very real, all over again, and as much as I hate to do this, I must. It hurts to have to ask, but if i'm going to ask, you deserve to know why.
My daughter has set up a GoGundMe for support through this process. I had already lost most of my real estate income due to not being able to work two jobs and, while I'm fortunate to have disability at my day job, it's at reduced pay after 60 days. Even if I received a transplant tomorrow, it would be months before I could return to work.

To the point the school had to buy plain ole flesh colored ones for their imaginary boo-boos. Miss Somolian: they are 3-4yrs old! Is this your mentality after graduation from The Learing Center?
I think this Somolian freak, with her low IQ, has an imaginary boo-boo or picked a zit. I want proof! There should be bruising and signs of abraisions, as Ace mentioned. Not an isolated bandaid on your hideous inbred bubble head.

The left always tells you what they fear, while completely failing to understand everyone else.
The really do fear a crackdown, and know that most of their troops will burn their uniforms and try to blend in rather than fight. This is why they did the J6 mass arrests, because they knew it would work on them.
They did not understand that people with actual morals, values and faith will submit to injustice because they believe in a higher law, and life after death. They submit to the crosses they are given, and in so doing, steel the determination of the rest. The left has no such resilience.
As with the Tesla vandals, as the arrests start to accumulate, Karen will delete her profile and pretend she never did any of that, because she's physically afraid.

Except.
Except:
There are no recorded incidences of lynching in Columbus where she grew up.
And the last recorded anywhere statewide was in like 1950s.
And the last black was in like 1920s.
So a child somehow saw something that happened decades before her birth and hundreds of miles away.

And so, 18 U.S.C. § 241 will be the charge desired against ICE in this matter?

If Trump succeeds in taking down the criminal Democrat party, then I suspect that the wind up toys will take out their rage and fear on innocent people.

This is not sustainable, and half the progs are engaging in a cargo cult where they assume control of the western intel and military apparatus guarantees victory, while the other half are sure nobody will fight back.
After all the bullshit of the last decade, I am watching people who have been law abiding, productive, reaponsible citizens their whole lives start to ask things like, "... so is there any actual reason not to just line these people up in front of a pit?"

"The worse the better" only works on a national scale.
In a federalized government with sovereign (don't laugh) states and free movement between them, "the worse the better" applied on the state level just leads to diminished political power over time nationally.
Sure, things will get worse in the blue states (like, you know, Minnesota), but Minnesota's influence will simply diminish over time as it grows slower (maybe even shrinks) compared to states that aren't doing the "the worse the better" routine.

Hard to protect people from themselves. The fact that Tennessee law enforcement hid the tranny motive for years told you who was calling the shots.
The center-right holds the strategic initiative and the correlation of forces is heavily in their favor. The left's recourse to violence and constant chirping for death is lowering the intensity of the response to the thing they always say is happening actually happening.
This is why Trump is moving with deliberate speed to the point of slowness. The church attack shifted the Overton window significantly, and the left knows it. But they can't back off, and Walz is having to get louder and louder in his sedition lest he be thrown under the bus for corruption.

They are big on taking their kids to protests and then using them as shields as they say and do things they know they should be KTFO for.
Posted by: BruceWayne
------------------
I saw another thing with someone saying how there were a lot of kids being taken to these ICE protests. Young kids, toddlers, and infants. It sounded like an op -- like the organizers offered to pay extra if you bring a kid. It made me wonder if they are hoping for a young martyr.

As he shoved me into the patrol car, I felt totally under his control, a feeling both alarming and exciting. He sat in the front seat, chatting with another officer, but he keep looking back at me, a twinkle in his eye.
"Are you comfortable? Can I get you anything, maybe a class of wine?" he asked. The driver laughed, but I could see the good natured creases around his eye. His tone was good natured, and I was completely flustered. My inner goddess was torn between revulsion and insatiable desire.

My crystal ball is cracked. In part because this era, due to omnipresent smart phones and social media is making society deranged yet at the same time providing a siloed echo chamber. In the case of the left, it is not a revolution I fear, it is more that they will try to seize power via a coup/secession as their political hopes drain away.
The most dangerous time for a Civil War is when one side perceives itself losing what status is has currently and that the future looks even bleaker. 1850 was probably the height of slave states' command of the American polity but as the Whigs died as a national party and were replaced by regional Republican party, plus the mood kept darkening in the North against slavery and its spread, the South lashed out while the fireeaters perceived it still could. They thought they could walk away from the Union and the fight would be minor.

We arrived at the federal building, and he firmly but gently removed me from the vehicle, he paused as I was getting out, looking down on my curiously.
"You're blonde, aren't you?"
"Yes," I whispered.
"You should drop the blue dye and grow it out. I have thing for blondes."
He lifted me up, but my knees were suddenly weak. The driver walked around and looked at us. "Get your girlfriend out of the vehicle dude," he chided.
I was flushed with shame and anger, and drew upon Gaia's wrath to stand up sharply. "You pig! You son of a bitch!"
He remained calm. "You don't even know my mother. Aren't you getting ahead of yourself. I haven't agreed to date you yet." My rage vanished under his cruel amusement.

She claimed that her family was not allowed to live on the military base because they were black. And as a kid she had to walk past black people lynched in trees when she went to school. Never mind that the last recorded lynching in Ohio was 1919.

Saw a video the other day of some stupid 20 somethings trying to harass ICE agents during an active arrest and they are backing her down the street as she is screaming at them that she has a "right to be there" and she tells them that she has her six year old in her car down the street and they are absolutely flabbergasted at her stupidity and recklessness and tell her that if she doesn't leave immediately they will arrest her for child endangerment. A female ICE agent walks her back to her car and lo and behold, a little 6 year old boy is sitting by himself crying and scared. The agent takes down all of her info and license, etc. and tells her to leave and she is going to report her to CPS. I felt so bad for this kid and the kicker is that the illegal they were after was a pedophile.

Church Invasion Ringleader A R R E S T E D by DHS and FBI
I had just written this forty minutes ago:
The Church Invaders must have been advised by attorneys that they did violate the FACE Act and possibly the KKK Act as well, because they're now rewriting history to craft their legal defenses: They're now claiming they didn't disrupt the church services at all, they just sat down to participate in the services. Except... we can see them on videotape disrupting the service and announcing beforehand they intend to "disrupt" the church services.Nikema Levy Armstrong, organizer of the church storming in Minneapolis, just went on CNN and claimed "we did not rush into the church. We sat down and participated in the service."
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) January 22, 2026
Except, she said on Don Lemon's livestream that they're doing it to "disrupt business as usual" pic.twitter.com/Sy5htvyGsF
Homeland Security Investigators and FBI agents arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong who played a key role in orchestrating the Church Riots in St. Paul, Minnesota.
— Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) January 22, 2026
She is being charged with a federal crime under 18 USC 241.

1. It's a conspiracy crime. 241 makes it a crime for two or more persons to agree to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege. Very broad.
2. Unlike many conspiracy statutes, 241 does not require the commission of an overt act. This is very important.
3. 241 is is a felony, even if the underlying conduct would not, on its own, be a felony.
4. Serious teeth: Punishable by up to ten years imprisonment under normal circumstanced. Longer terms and even death penalty if the conspiracy caused a death.

The response to anyone stupid enough to bring that up is that leftist activists LIE in little or big things but always they lie. And mass media covers for them always because they are liars too.
They don't even get or deserve the courtesy of hearing them out anymore. Screw them and the financial backers. They are liars for the cause because it pays, not for improving society.

It does make more sense arresting the ring-leaders/enablers rather than making a point that a "journalist" was compromising the definition of his niche.
A reporter has to have some amount of cred to accomplish anything. Lemon probably ablated an additional amount of his being caught in several lies about his participation.
However much a fool and a hypocrite, Lemon is mainly a tagalong. If they want to arrest everybody involved, than he should be arrested too. But he shouldn't be prosecuted for being an ass anymore than the rest of the tagalongs.

Law professors for the last twenty year or so have become deranged in many cases partly due to hiring practices but also due to generational turnover to Millennials. The older Lib Left had to at least make enough sense to justify their positions, mostly by sophistry but still. The Millennials changed that in the fields by focusing on racism, sexism, patriarchy, and other bullshit terms invented by earlier generations like the Boomers and before them the Silent and Greatest Generation POS like Sartre, Foucalt, etc.
But the Millennials did not understand that all of these isms invented by generations of leftists before them are in fact just a way to seek power by sophistry, not reality. So you get a dumbed down version of what used to pass for academic discourse. Because I was an economics major and had been exposed to the real Marx and somewhat of Lenin/Baran, etc. back in the 70's, it inoculated me when I went to grad school later on.

No - some of them will get jail time. It is a clear violation of the law - if a corrupt judge or jury tries to nullify that, my guess is it will be just fodder for the DOJ to dig a bit heavier into the political establishment. This is a loser. The rest of them need to be arrested as well.

In 2014, she and ten other protesters were charged by the City of Bloomington with disorderly conduct and trespass which carried a maximum penalty of a fine up to $8,000 and a prison sentence of up to two years. Restitution charges for $40,000 against the protesters were later withdrawn by the city.[8] In November 2015, a Hennepin County judge dismissed the charges against Levy Armstrong and the ten others charged by Bloomington. That was 2014.
The second was for blocking I-94 in order to protest a shooting of some kid. She was arrested, thrown in the slammer, and promptly released. That was in 2015.
Both times previous she was let off with no charges. Of course, that wasn't the Feds. And, it will be interesting to see if the prosecution is allowed to show a history of this type behavior.

Let's clarify "Lutherans" first. The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is basically a conservative Catholic denomination that did away (via Martin Luther) with the excesses and made-up stuff Catholics were doing. A couple of the OTHER versions of the Lutheran Church (ELCA as an example) might as well just declare themselves branches of the United Methodist Church, because those branches no longer believe in anything associated with Christian doctrine.

"A Minnesota federal magistrate judge refused to sign a complaint charging independent journalist Don Lemon in connection with a protest inside a church in St. Paul on Sunday, multiple sources familiar with the proceedings told CBS News.
"The attorney general is enraged at the magistrate's decision," said a source familiar with the matter. Attorney General Pam Bondi has been in Minnesota for two days, as the Justice Department has sought to surge prosecutorial and law enforcement resources there.
A different source stressed that the process is not over, and the Justice Department could find other avenues to charge Lemon."

Yup. The ends justify the means, at all times.
Thus indeed, it does *not* matter that they are lying. Not to them or to anyone else. They don't care, so neither should you.
What *does* matter is that that they're going to get, at worst, community service and maybe probation for this, while the same law is used to hand out jail time to pro-life demonstrators.

The progs brought us the Church of Progress in Modern Convenience.
These are the only values you are allowed to hold. Or allowed to express through government.
Abortion is modern convenience, and freedom of speech is relatively inconvenient if it makes progressives uncomfortable. Thus freedom of speech and assembly can be overruled by the convenience of abortion.
And progs demand that any demotion of the convenience of abortion is a betrayal of our system of rights--even if express rights are subordinated to "implied rights".

That is exactly what the issue was. Leftists in the media are no longer content to just report but they want to become involved.
Remember O'Keefe's arrest over taping some twat?
Antifa in particular uses the idea of embedded journalists while they are committing their crimes to the point where they wear helmets at riots declaring them as such while they show mayhem up close.
By and large, if the action itself is illegal, then any journalist participating in the act can also be charged. Look toward leak charges. Person A steals a document and hands it to Journalist B to publicize. Generally no charges for the Journalist other than making them name their source.
But, if Journalist B incites Person A to steal documents, then you are complicit and a co conspirator and no shield for you as a journalist.

You could put all of these people in jail, but the corrupt system in these cities and states would just find a new set of useful idiots to sit in those seats.
What will bring them down and begin to return Blue areas around is proof of corruption and incompetence. The more corruption is exposed in MN, the more elected officials gin up the paid protestors to distract the voters.

This is, without sarcasm and in full sincerity, a "power of and" situation.
Like much of our industry only moreso, finance is thoroughly fascistic. The big banks and the government are deeply in bed with another, and they scratch each-others' backs. If the feds want something, the banks will snap to without even a whisper of discontent. When the banks want something, they pick up and call their pet critters and regulators. They have a gigantic circle-jerk going and the splooge, as always, drips down on us.
Big Tech is just as bad, if not possibly somehow even worse.
So sure, *this* time the feds might have made the call. Whatever. I don't much care who's willy the splooge flew out of, because next time it will be the other. It really doesn't matter. Both are bad actors.

My guess is that there is very little difference in the Missouri Synod and the more conservative Catholic dioceses. Communion of course, with the Eucharist being referenced differently. Growing up Lutheran, when I started going to the Catholic church with my girlfriend (who became my wife) I was struck how closely the two services were to one another.

Does not matter as for liability. A incites B to do something illegal. B does that illegal act, B is still on the hook for liability even if the government told them to do it. Government, on the other hand, gets qualified immunity because it would come down to we never said Chase HAD to debank Trump. We told Chase it should debank Trump.
Frankly fuck the big bankstas, they are not necessary and should be unwound to regional banks again. To Big to Fail simply means that they will push the limit until again we bail them out, probably with depositor's money this time. Bailing in is what will happen in the next crisis. They simply take your deposits leaving you with less if not taking it all for the good of the country or some other bullshit.

So she can't interview people in the street, but he can be caught ON CAMERA conspiring with the leaders of these agitators on how it's going to go down. How they will disrupt a church.
At some point Lemon took off his reporter hat and put on his agitator hat. He stopped being a journalist at that moment. He needs to be charged.

You can tell Dimon is still under the legal constraints placed on him by the Feds. He’s even gone so far as to say they need to change the laws. I guess Trumps lawyers feels there’s enough for a civil judgement, but discovery will be interesting. If they unseal that part of the testimony you’re going to find, not surprisingly, that Democrats used the federal government to coerce and force companies into action against their enemies list.

Banks serve a purpose.
I do think, however, that Glass-Steagal or some of its conditions should be reinstated. Retail and investment banking need to be separate, and I think that investment banks should not be permitted to be publicly traded. Keep them away from normal people's money and make them play with their own capital or their customers' capital. They were much better behaved when they were LPs.

Dimon is a douchebag CEO that views himself as a master of the universe. My guess is they didn't have to twist Dimon's arm a bit to debank Trump because at the time, no one, even here, could see Trump coming back. So compliance was no problem for Dimon.

There is talk by people who follow the industry that the real rift between Powell and Trump is the power the Fed holds over bank regulation; and that Bessent is interested in breaking that hold, and sending the Fed back to its original role of backstopping the major banks and letting the Treasury regulate small regional banks that run retail banking for local loans to local businesses instead.

Judge Faruqui has gained attention for his criticism of the Department of Justice under U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, particularly in September 2025, when he stated that prosecutors had lost all credibility, saying, “There’s no credibility left,” over the handling of cases tied to a federal crime crackdown in D.C.
He is known for presiding over numerous January 6th Capitol breach cases and for rulings involving cryptocurrency sanctions, civil liberties, and judicial independence.

You might want to read up on the 2008 financial crisis. The corporations were the bad guys too. And the general public got screwed coming and going while the masters of the universe responsible for the mess got taxpayer money courtesy of Congress fearing the system failure.
Glass Steagal was written for a reason and that is large banks and their executives do not have the public interest at heart, and threatening to destroy a nation's finances unless they get bailed out is one of the least of their issues.
Corporations are just as nasty and unforgiving as big government so the solution is the same, reduce all big organizations to smaller ones to make them compete again.

This would never have happened but for two key government acts/programs:
1. The CRA which made banks take forecastable losses where the solution was MBSs and layering bad debt with good.
2. Sarbanes-Oxley which made assets necessarily be accounted at market value.
The drop in value made MBSs where the A-level risks offset the D-level losses toxic. Most lending institutions needed immediate assets to offset outstanding liabilities already on the books.
Thus "swaps" were a way to temporarily put assets in your portfolio to offset the present losses.
CRA and MBSs had survived other downturns, because assets did not have to be counted at market value.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at January 22, 2026 01:42 PM (WONhk)
No, it needed mandatory market-accounting to really allow MBSs to become toxic owing to a wave of loan defaults.
It is very likely that, without Sarbanes-Oxley, the A-tier of MBS would far offset the D-level defaults, as they normally do over time.
Mark-to-market caused the emergency, swaps worked as long as they could to offset temporary losses but when the swap guarantors collapsed, i.e, Bear Stearns, MBS losses could not be offset so easily any more, making them fully toxic.
Investment businesses contributed, but they were forced into what they did by waves of government fiat which did not calculate the consequences, but only waved the banner of their Commerce powers.

The Morning Rant: A Deal For Cuba?
"Cuba's rulers are incompetent Marxists who have destroyed their country, and they have had a major setback with the Maduro regime that they are responsible for propping up," a White House official said, adding that Cuba should "make a deal before it's too late." President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post earlier in the month: "Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela." "In return, Cuba provided 'Security Services' for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE," he continued. "THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA — ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."
Ah...another deal! What kind of deal can there be that frees the Cuban people? The communist rulers of Cuba will not go willingly, and they have a comprehensive security and surveillance apparatus that would make the Stasi blush with embarrassment. Will we demand that the Cuban communist party give up power and then force the government to have free elections? Or we will sponsor an invasion, like we did in 1961? That went well. Actually, it did for American communists. JFK and the Democrat Party supported the communists by withholding air support! We can strengthen the embargo, push back against Chinese influence, eventually begin to decrease oil imports from Mexico, support dissidents within Cuba (if they dare to speak publicly against the pervasive terror), and what else? Of course we could invade and make short shrift of the Cuban army, but it would be bloody, and we would suffer casualties. Or perhaps decapitation strikes that destroy the leadership? But Cuba is a special case. Their communism is protected by the geography of the Island. There are no land borders that can be used by smugglers, both of goods, and of arms and ideas. Their communication is controlled quite well by the state, and their army is comparatively well fed and well paid. And they have survived for 67 years just a few miles from the coast of their Great Satan! The conventional wisdom was that with the softening of America's tone, Cuba's communism would wither, and it would become a soft socialist state. That never happened, and with three generations of indoctrination, the odds are long that it will happen now. The people of Cuba need our help, but what that help will be is the big question!

Castro and the boys were insisting on a “first strike” on America with the Soviet deployed nuclear missiles in October, 1962. They realized it meant the utter destruction of Cuba by massive retaliation.
It was the Soviets who had to expunge Cuban missile crews and prevent just such an occurrence. As it was, Soviet commanders on the ground had wide latitude and could easily have kicked off World War III

As you see, leaving Cuba hanging on with just barely enough to get by on a daily basis. There were probably unrecorded shipments of refined products that added to these numbers, but not too many.
So Mexico is saying they will keep doing what they've been doing (they say they have a contract), but no more.
Which means the Cuba is 37,000 BOPD short of what they need to keep operating, with no saviors in sight.
It goes without saying that they don't have the financial resources to purchase the shortfall from anyone.
In dollar terms, someone needs to donate about $66 million a month to Cuba just for them to keep their heads above water. Barely.

I've only known Cuba as communist my whole life. It was funny to watch "Guys and Dolls" die the first time and see him whisk her off on a whirlwind trip to Cuba for a date.
I've visited the Bacardi distillery in San Juan. The family had to flee Cuba after the revolution and set up shop in Puerto Rico. It's a nice little boat ride across the bay from old San Juan to the distillery, and you get a free drink token. And there's certain rare rums that they only sell at the gift shop at that location. (I bought one as a gift for a friend and accidentally packed it in my carry on!! So they confiscated it. Some San Juan airport workers were drinking well that night!)
If Cuba manages to get liberated this year, the Horde will have to drink a round of Cuba Libres in celebration!

Since PDJT is so fond of using tariffs, we should also impose tariffs on countries that use Cuba as a tourist and prostitution destination which feeds foreign currency into their broke-ass economy.

That was the traditional anchor of their economy. Saw that last year Cuba's sugar production was the lowest since 1921. (I've been researching this a bit)
There's no money for fertilizer, and gas and diesel allocations have been going to the military, not farmers. So sugar production is down to what the peasants can plant with a mule and a wooden plow.

Cuba cigar production also crashed. The quality fell off long ago, as the best cigar-makers fled the country to DR, Nicaragua, and elsewhere. Now the industry is in tatters. Sure, they'll tell you exports are great, but it's always to countries (like China) where it's impossible to verify the claims. Don't believe it.

Grok on German nuke plants:
It is technically possible for up to 6 reactors (out of ~17 total shut down historically, but focusing on recent/less dismantled ones), per nuclear industry groups like KernD and reports (e.g., Brokdorf potentially by late 2025, Emsland/Grohnde by 2028, more later).
This represents roughly 30-35% of Germany's former nuclear fleet capacity that could feasibly restart with investment and policy change.
The last three (Isar 2, Emsland, Neckarwestheim 2) have advanced decommissioning; operators say restart is no longer realistic.

this highlights one of the big problems with social media, including X, and I don't know how we're going to deal with it in the long term. Posters get income off the number of clicks and traffic they can generate (Cynical Publius did a good numerical breakdown of how this works a couple week back) and the simple, dirty fact is that a shitposter can make a lot of money by posting outrageously stupid things that get people talking about it and quoting the stupid thing he's said.
That's what Candace Owen's entire schtick has really been about, and that's what Piker is doing here. Is it true? Who Cares!!!! People Talk about it, and I get Paid!

Same premise, a bit more direct. I was surprised Trump gave the green light to Israel to go ham on Iran....but then the reports came in as to what they were targeting. The Electrical grid was the first thing they bombed the ever living hell out of. Then, they went after select IRG forces and Intelligence officials.
I predict Cuba will be a bit more covert and challenge the odds of it all happening at once. Trump took away the oil revenue that Cuba used for income. Now, making the rest teeter on the edge should start the ball rolling a bit faster. Attack them where their weakest seems to be a valid plan.

I love the last clip of the trailer, she's obviously in Trump Tower in NYC. Trump to her: did you watch it? Her: I did not, I'll catch it in the news.
In that scene is a Renoir, I looked it up to see if it's real. Because I could totally see Trump owning a Renoir! It's a reproduction of La Loge, and the original painting is London's Courtauld Gallery.
AI says: Art writers noted the irony of the choice, suggesting parallels between the woman in the painting (representing social aspiration) and Melania Trump, especially given previous instances of Trump properties displaying fake Renoirs, like Two Sisters on the Terrace...some see owning fake Renoirs as a form of "Aspirational fakery."
So...everyone that owns a poster of Starry Night in their home is performing aspirational fakery??

Which in turn causes innocent commenters to be frequently locked out because their VPN service and IP numbers were used by banned trolls.
Nowadays, better ways exist than VPNs if you are in this country--namely anonymized DNS servers that encrypt your DNS requests going and coming so your ISP cannot track you very well. Doesn't work for trolls but well enough for average people.
The exception to the rule is if you are the type to try to use free wifi everywhere then you need to be using a VPN for a cell phone access. Not necessary on a properly locked down network even to obscure your IP if you want. Never grant programs or apps access to exact location for starters.

They sit there flabbergasted realizing they have been lied to their entire lives. They are taught in grade school that the US wants to kill them all. And, without China propping up NK purposefully for their own benefit, it would have long since joined with SK. Discipline is brutal, final, and plentiful in NK. It makes Cuba look like Romper Room.

This sucks, but it also goes the other way in a positive way. With the Amelia meme, people saw that YouTube channels with like a max of 10k subscribers were getting five times the views of that when they posted an Amelia video. So then those channels made their OWN Amelia videos, to cash in on the interest and also get a boost in fees and likes. And the legend of Amelia spread far faster then it would have if not for monetized likes and views.
It's a crazy reward system, and I don't know how to fix the problems without ruining what makes it special in the first place.

A lot of it might also be learned helplessness.
You can only go through the cycle of "Hey, this might turn out nice" to "Wow, that didn't turn out nice at all" so many times before you stop believing that anything nice could ever happen.
And then that pessimism eventually goes from passive to active.

Trolling is as old as Usenet. There used to be a famous Usenet post widely disseminated guide to trolls as to describing behavior, typology, etc. Sort of like Dungeons and Dragons Monster manual.
Some are paid, some do it because of psychological issues, and some do it for the cause, whatever that might be. And some lack enough self awareness to realize that they have become a troll themselves by using many of the same tactics that trolls do.

When I walked into the exam room, I asked what kind of string they would tie to the doorknob to extract the tooth.
In hindsight, that might have been easier. I didn't feel pain in my jaw, but my neck got a workout as he pried the first fragment out. After that, the rest came out on its own.

In more civilized times, it was known that young women might suffer failures in judgement, hence having chaperones on hand to avoid trouble.
Then we decided that women didn't need any of that, they could have sex without consequences, and then we had to legalize killing babies on an industrial scale.
We call this "progress."

Have you seen Knives Out 2? The Mona Lisa is featured prominently in it, and the art history nerd in me is horrified at what happens to her.
One of my fave Mona Lisa cameos is in the movie Ever After. The prince chases down a painting tube from a thief and says all this for a painting? Da Vinci unrolls the painting, which turns out to be the Mona Lisa , and says yes, a woman is always worth it.

That's a short-brimmed hat with a small bow on the front. Probably the younger woman's, or maybe Granny's, going by the cloak hanging under it. The dents in the crown do look like skull eye sockets, though.
It might be the man's hat, but I don't know if men in 1880s Italy wore short cloaks like that.

It's a nice quip, but Churchill tried desperately to keep Italy out of the war, and he was honest enough to include his correspondence in The Second World War.
If Italy had stayed out, the Brits would have been able to run convoys through the Med, eliminating the need for the campaigns in Africa, meaning more ships, men and aircraft for the Pacific and of course defending England.

"Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine!"
( -- Linda Ronstadt)
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 22, 2026 09:45 AM (wzUl9)
------------
Linda Ronstadt played a pivotal role in the formation of The Eagles, serving as the catalyst that brought founding members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner together. In 1971, while assembling her backing band for her Silk Purse Tour, Ronstadt recruited the musicians -- then known as Shiloh and the Stone Canyon Band -- after hearing them perform her song "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. The band members bonded during the tour, and by its end, Frey and Henley decided to form their own group, which became The Eagles.

"Slut walks" were a desperate cry for attention.
They wanted to be seen as sexy, but also wanted to be able to turn down lots of guys. A mass of angry contradictions.
I'm old enough to remember in the 1990s a big feminist issue was letting students date faculty, because the coeds wanted to marry a high status prof.
"We're fully mature adults who can make informed choices," they said. A decade later they were helpless, incapable of giving "true" consent because of power imbalances.

NYPD detectives say they were disrespected at NYU Langone Health in Brooklyn, denied treatment
COBBLE HILL, Brooklyn (WABC) -- NYPD detectives say they were disrespected and treated rudely at a local hospital after going to emergency room for treatment.
Police officials say the detectives arrived at the emergency room at NYU Langone Health in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, but they were confronted by security guards who questioned who they were and why they were there.
Sources told Eyewitness News that the detectives were in plainclothes and explained that one of them needed treatment for a minor injury after a scuffle with a suspect. They were allegedly detained and one of them was refused entry with his service weapon. The confrontation left union leaders infuriated. It happened on Friday. A department spokesperson says NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch accepted the apology from the hospital.
Under New York's sanctuary city laws, ICE agents are forbidden from entering hospitals
without a signed judicial warrant.

Since 2020, I have filled an entire mudroom and stocked it with toilet paper for future PsyOps.
[I drive several miles as a medical courier and always stop at Costco to gas up before returning to my home base VA Medical Center in town. Back in 2020, during the toilet paper shortage, as I drove through the local Costco parking, l would check out the cart baskets of those people leaving the store -- and if they had toilet paper, I'd park and run in to buy some during that surreal shortage.]

We didn't do it. What you're seeing is that for women, flirting is cost-free and fun and for men, it can lead to complete ruin.
It is a high-risk, low-reward activity. I used to flirt in the 1990s, but when I got a job, that was over. Strictly business, no physical contact.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at January 22, 2026 10:20 AM (ZOv7s)
There was a rare funny modern SNL skit where they have an office scenario showing how hypocritical women are about this. The nerdy guy who flirts with the lady at the office is in her eyes a creep, and the handsome guest host (was it Chris Hemsworth?) who does the same thing is in her eyes charming and dreamy. It was ever thus.
Say anything, with the guy playing a boombox with "In your eyes" outside your window at night is only romantic if you actually like the guy. Otherwise he's a crazy stalker.

a power outage often stops the water
, especially for well water or high-rise apartments, because pumps need electricity; however, gravity-fed city water systems usually continue flowing from elevated tanks until those tanks deplete, though prolonged outages can stop pumps refilling them, and water treatment plants might also halt, making water unsafe, so backup plans are wise

Yep. It used to be that flirting included nuance and a certain amount of tolerance. If a guy made a misstep, no problem, but forgiveness is dead, and mercy is only meted out to the Elect. Men, as a whole, get none.

Do men ever get the benefit of the doubt? Johnny Depp actually scored a rare win, but most of the time it's guilty until prov- oh wait, just guilty.
I live in a college town, and for many years the Obama College Inquisition regularly destroyed men because reasons. There was a case where a football player who was an NFL prospect was accused of rape and that was it. Millions of dollars gone. He fought back, and sued the university and it came out that his accuser was not raped, but wanted sex without a condom so she could be a baby momma and get a piece of his salary for 18 years.
He then refused to have sex with her, and she accused him of rape. The university paid him a bunch of money, but then had to pay HER money as well, because reasons.
Tons of examples of that, plus HR Commissars running all over the place. Easier just to keep things formal, distant. I don't really miss flirting and my wife prefers that I don't, so it's not an issue.

Here's the thing: It's very clear--at least to me--that these issues seem concentrated highly in certain regions, and not nearly so present in others. It's almost as if there's been a certain amount of cultural sorting over the past few decades leading to very different experiences and outcomes.
If only there was some way to track where that was the case, maybe something to do with internal migration and economic patterns...

Yes, that is the other factor. My wife is amazing, and she doesn't like it, and I'm happy to oblige. When I flirt, I flirt with her, which is much more productive.
Interestingly, a bunch of us who used to work together 20 years ago still gather about every quarter to have dinner and catch up. No flirting, everyone settled, it's nice. It was that way back in the office, and it felt safe and comfortable. No possibility of misunderstanding.

We had an inside joke during our wedding (our company was "eBuilt") with candied hearts, one of which stated "An eBuilt RFP" (Request For Proposal).

So, just having Trump out of office completely resets things, huh?
Because he was there for four years before.
The whole anti-Trumpism is so overwhelming on the left, he's been their boogeyman for so long, that I really think they're going to struggle to replicate the same environment of hatred against Vance.
Yes, they will hate him. They will call him Hitler.
But, the fervor won't be there. It'll be diminished.

Memorably, this happened to me at a party way back in the day. My now-wife then-gf went to the ladies' room, and this other female acquaintance of mine finds me standing alone and starts blatantly hitting on me, and when I say blatant I mean I'm a typical dude who needs to be clubbed over the head with a "hint" to get it, and I got it.
Entertained it for about a minute to feed my young ego, then saw my wife making her way back toward me, grabbed a buddy I knew well, and wingmanned him right into the other girl's face. They went home together that night and later got married, had two kids, and are no longer together.
Good times lol.

The painting is filled with symbolism (spinster, caged bird, granny...) so I sure it means something. Maybe they both mean hope. I don't know.

The Morning Report — 1/22/26
On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) commented on the possibility of a government shutdown over ICE by saying that, among “things that we believe are appropriate in this instance, are demanding be part of any final bill,” would be a requirement that “ICE should not be able to storm houses of worship, hospitals, and schools.”The unmitigated chutzpocrisy of this radioactive glittering turd is so unbearable that even Ray Charles wearing iridium-coated Raybans could feel a searing pain in his eye sockets were he watching from the surface of a supernova 5 billion light years from earth, Storming houses of Worship, hospitals and schools?! Not even a single peep when Don Lemon who might have organized and led a band of "agitators" and stormed into a Minneapolis church over the weekend to "protest" ICE's rounding up of criminal illegal aliens in that city in particular and all over the nation in general. Ditto the raking of police stations with gunfire as well as synagogues and religious schools with little children in them. The words "agitators" and "protest are in quotes because this was an act of dictionary and legal definition terrorism carried out by terrorists. Irrespective of the fact that this might have been the church where the priest was identified as supposedly being in the employ or otherwise working with ICE, the act of violently and loudly bursting into a church during a service to shriek at the parishioners is beyond abhorrent. It is straight up evil. Asking Hakeem Jeffries what he thinks of this is a waste of breath. His silence speaks volumes. He like all the other demonic vermin in the coven known as the Democrat party are cheering this on.
Well, there's terrorism, there's state-sponsored terrorism and then there's this!
Gov. JB Pritzker, in a statement, said the allegations “raise serious concerns for people struggling to maintain housing — and the communities that have been profiled and relentlessly targeted by the federal government during its violent immigration enforcement operations. State law prohibits discrimination, and that includes aiding or abetting conduct intended to interfere with housing and civil rights. Illinois will not tolerate conduct that puts anyone in Illinois at risk of discrimination or harm.” To be clear about what’s going on here, the Pritzker regime in Illinois has decided to define cooperation with federal law enforcement as a form of illegal discriminatory conduct that it can penalize. After demonstrating that landlords can be penalized for tipping off ICE, then it’ll be the turn of other small businesses, and then finally cooperating with ICE will be deemed a ‘hate crime’.Meh. This is from the same people who created the Garland Archipelago and rounded up anyone who was within 5 miles of the Capitol on January 6th 2021 for the crime of protesting the election the Democrats stole. Just as no Democrats will ever face justice let alone go to prison for all their crimes, you can bet that this landlord is going to be sent straight to Joliet Prison courtesy of a rigged prosecutor, Judge and jury. The message is now loud and clear, the Democrats now run Barter Town, they have proclaimed themselves Master/Blaster and Aunty Entity rolled into one. Defy them and one way or another it's (finger across neck in slicing motion).
Frey said, “In Minneapolis, we will not cooperate with ICE or any federal agency around immigration enforcement work, we will not. And there’s a good reason, by the way, that we won’t, and it’s not just the moral imperative here, it’s also the fact that I want our police officers focusing on safety.”If Jacob Frey is not arrested and charged with insurrection, and the Insurrection Act invoked, then the next church that is targeted by Leftists will have parishioners shot to ribbons.
As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as at the usual outlets listed at the bottom of this post, every decent God-fearing American, arm yourself to the teeth and carry when you go to church or synagogue. Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

As The Federalist previously reported, Trump fired Cook in August over allegations that she committed mortgage fraud prior to joining the Fed.
At SCOTUS, Lisa Cook’s Attorney Admits Trump Can Fire His Client From The Fed
- On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Trump v. Cook, the case testing whether President Trump can fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook based on allegations of mortgage fraud. Justice Brett Kavanaugh expressed concern that granting the president too much deference in removal decisions would effectively create at-will firing authority, rendering the Federal Reserve Act’s “for cause” requirement meaningless. But Kavanaugh’s worry overlooks the law’s actual check on presidential abuse: the Senate confirmation process.

What are JB Pritzker's thoughts on Virginia HB 333 which requires schools to teach:
• that the 2020 Election was the purest most responsible election ever held;
• banning the word "peaceful" when describing J6 demonstrations,
• must include the words "unprecedented violent attack on United States democratic institutions, infrastructure and representatives"
This is not only to be taught, but a criminal act not to include this in all Virginia instruction materials.

There is a lot to unpack from that one small statement.
The most interesting, that clearly needs more definition, is the term "race traitor".
First of all, these knuckleheads consider "Islam" to be a race, they routinely group Hispanics as "White" when booking them as criminals, and think that someone who has a white mother and an unknown black father is "black" (who might not even be, himself one hundred percent black)
But the word "traitor"... especially in the context of immigration status and nationality. My immediate thought is if we keep "traitor" in its somewhat original form, she literally is considering this person's immigration to be included in an act of war and a bona fide invasion

Or... paying fewer people less money for food.
It's already been pointed out that many school districts will supply 3 meals per day, including holidays and weekends (all paid for with tax dollars), to students but the food stamp benefits (all paid for with tax dollars) weren't lowered a penny in response. It's not like the people getting that money aren't gonna spend it.

The misdemeanors are easy to prove, but there's no guarantee even those would land convictions in MN. Not with the judicial coup in place.
Felonies would be even harder, and less likely to land a conviction with. But certainly carry more "weight."

After playing a clip of Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Goldberg said, “The 25th Amendment. It’s time, it’s time, it’s time.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “To that point, Whoopi, you would be in a lot of company, you believe at this point that the president of the United States may not have his full faculty?”
Goldberg said, “I felt that before now.”
Co-host Joy Behar said, “But the cherry on the cake was yesterday.”
Goldberg said, “There’s been a lot of cherries on the cakes. There have been several. The cherries on this cake are enormous. There are so many. The lines in the sand. I mean, it looks like a stamp there’s so many lines in the sand.”

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “As a dose of reality, his Cabinet is squarely with him.”

1) Trump reveals SS referral for MTG tipping off Code Pink to his visit to a restaurant.
2) Muduro gets snatched while the Chinese trade delegation is in town, tracking their movements to confirm where Muduro was.
Spy vs. Spy.
Code Pink is heavily funded by the Chinese.
We in 1, told China we know and have mapped their network.
In 2, we told them they don't know how much we've mapped and, worse for them, they have no idea how extensive our spy network is.
Trump didn't show MTG a poll she'd lose the senate race--he showed her proof she's compromised and has taken money from and provided intel to China.
She blew up b/c she took it as a personal offense to call her friend Media Benjamin, a Chinese spy.

Nope. Just a legal name change. And some "certificate of co-habitation" or such.
Why does that matter?
B/c the $1.5 million GoFundMe is for "the widow and family of Renea Good."
You know how women almost always want to "burn the whole MFer down" in a divorce? The "if I can't have it, I'll make sure no one will" scorched earth?
Lesbo relationships are statistically, far more often violent and abusive.
And Becca is going to burn the whole MFer down once Renea's family says that $1.5 milli is theirs.
And the only way to do that is to void the GFM.
Meaning, Becca is going to release the whole vid, showing extensive criminal acts prior by Renea.

Yet at the time, Grant was irate with him for taking so long, and considered firing him. Thomas had to deal with winter weather, but also wanted to break the back of Confederate resistance completely, and he did so, shattering Hood's army completely. It ceased to exist as an organized entity, but was instead reduced to scattered groups of disorganized stragglers.
Trump is moving behind the scenes, but also giving the left more rope to hang themselves. Each outrage further strengthens his hand. It's frustrating, but the left keeps stepping rakes, and being able to lock up Don Lemon is a hoot. The left is in a purity spiral, and allowing them to drive ever more normies into fits of rage is a good thing.

To plug a school I didn’t attend but have great respect for, the Texas Tech School of Law has a great oil and gas section, and has produced both written evidence and video seminars demonstrating how fracking technology has completely renewed the Permian Basin.
Not many people know that drilling has gotten much more efficient over the last few years. Rig count is no longer a useful metric; 400 modern drilling rigs can do what 1200 used to do.

It was a nice ceremony and we saw some people we haven't seen in a while that paid their respects. He wasn't a good man, but I pray the preacher, whom he'd known a long time, was correct and he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior and is currently celebrating with past friends and family. Maybe I'll find out someday.
First Lady did his eulogy and did amazing. She's my hero. I can't do that. I'm not a fan of funerals. We had a memorial service for my dad, but he was cremated and it wasn't a big official thing, just a gathering at a venue to chat, snack and share the history. Mom didn't have any friends or family in the area, so we just toasted her with a B&B and that was that.
Now, the fun begins.

However, her past cancer experience has her wanting to get back to her roots and move to the country. She has land there and it looks like we'll now have to do a LOT of work on the home he lived in to make it more livable, all while getting our current home prepped for market.

Camp Century, also known as the “city under the ice,” is a relic of the Cold War. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the military base in 1959 by cutting a network of tunnels within the near-surface layer of the ice sheet. After it was abandoned in 1967, snow and ice continued to accumulate, and the solid structures associated with the facility now lie at least 30 meters (100 feet) below the surface.

There are no "Inuit" in Alaska. While the Inupiat are fairly closely related to the Canadian Inuit, and don't usually mind being called that (you might get a behind-your-back eye roll), the largest group of Alaskan Eskimos, by far, is the Yupik. Historically the two groups did not get along (to put it mildly). Most of them do not like being called "Inuit". At all.
Calling a Yupik "Inuit" is like calling a Spaniard "French" because they both speak Romance languages, or an Arab a "Jew" because they both speak Semitic languages.
In other words, there's some probability of getting your ass kicked.
We're only in this mess because a bunch of stupid white Canadian communists decided that Eskimo is a racist term (it isn't) and that "Inuit" is the correct term for all speakers of Eskimo-Aleut languages (it isn't).
We won't even go into how pissed off the Indians ("Native Americans") get if you call them "Inuit" OR "Eskimo".
Unless you're 100% sure what the person is, and what he wants to be called, your best policy is to refer to him as an "Alaska Native".

There's that and I think something at least equally profound if less obvious. Trump is reordering the world power structure. Globalism is dead and the multi-culti, touchy feely approach to world affairs is over. There is one super power left in the world and it's the United States of America. No alliance like NATO is going to dictate how we operate any longer. We will determine how we operate.
Right now Trump is hosting his Peace Board and leaders from around the world are rushing to meet with Trump. Trump is his own UN but his will get results, I bet.

Thank you, you’re the first I’ve seen publicly acknowledge what’s going on with his Peace Board. It’s about getting all the countries that Trump can deal with into an association that completely sidelines the UN, in fact which makes the UN irrelevant. That’s why the EU countries are all pissed off and won’t join it.
But that just means they’ll have no say in what comes next.

Under the deal, which mimics Britain’s agreement with Cyprus, American bases on the Arctic island would be considered US territory, The Telegraph understands.
This all could have been easily done without the drama.Denmark is incredibly favorable toward the US and would have welcomed the idea of additional military bases.
I don't really care for how we treated our allies on this, but I'm glad we've come to a deal everyone can live with. The President's use of leverage here was like pointing a pistol at a friend and telling them to pass the beer, but hey, at least we got a drink

Russia was quite supportive of the Union during the Civil War, and did supply it with some intelligence re the British, but that was about it. Their support did play a factor in the Senate debate about the Alaska purchase.
The main reason they wanted to sell Alaska to us was because they didn't want the British to get it.
Fun fact: The last shots of our Civil War were fired in Russian waters, by the Confederate raider CSS Shenandoah, against Yankee whalers.

In an interview with CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Allianz
CEO Oliver Bäte said he disagreed with the suggestion that it may just be a matter of time before net zero is dismissed in Europe, saying short-term thinking on this issue is “bulls---.”
Asked about political leaders backtracking on their much-vaunted European Green New Deal and Norway’s oil fund reportedly defending a push from companies to water down their climate goals, Bäte said anyone who has children “will have to worry” about the planet’s future.

All the more reason to have a well armed populace armed to the teeth. Since legally no one is obligated to protected you but you. Bless the second amendment.

23-year-old “Nasra Ahmed” alleges she was “kidnapped” and brutalized by ICE at a MN news conference:
“That man, he called me the N-word… and then he arrested—they arrested me. It was multiple people. They used a lot of force…I actually got a uh… scab…”
Laughably bad acting.

Daily Tech News 22 January 2206
Top Story
- Anthropic - the company behind AI tool Claude - has updated its Claude Constitution, now a sprawling 57 page mess, five times the length of the actual Constitution, which has, for the most part successfully, guided the most powerful nation in history for nearly 250 years. (The Register)
Fortunately we are provided with a summary:Anthropic hopes that Claude's output will reflect the content of the constitution by being:
If only someone had given thought to a prioritised list of general rules - laws, you might call them - to govern the behaviour of autonomous thinking machines - robots, essentially - and all the myriad ways in which things might go awry.
- Broadly safe: not undermining appropriate human mechanisms to oversee AI during the current phase of development;
- Broadly ethical: being honest, acting according to good values, and avoiding actions that are inappropriate, dangerous, or harmful;
- Compliant with Anthropic's guidelines: acting in accordance with more specific guidelines from Anthropic where relevant;
- Genuinely helpful: benefiting the operators and users they interact with.
If Claude is conflicted, Anthropic wants the model to "generally prioritize these properties in the order in which they are listed."
Maybe a Boston biochemist in 1942, while we're engaged in idle speculation.
Tech News
- Nvidia is expected to launch its consumer-oriented N1X processor this quarter. (Tom's Hardware)
Nvidia hasn't said anything about this, but eagle-eyed observers have spotted the chip in shipping manifests for test hardware, most recently in a Dell laptop.
- OpenAI has committed to "paying its own way", admitting essentially that it hadn't been. (Tom's Hardware)
Specifically for electricity. Everyone else - like people who want to own computers - can fuck off and die I guess.
- The creator of Ruby on Rails says that AI can not yet replace junior programmers. (Final Round)
He notes that sometimes - sometimes - an AI tool can come up with an elegant solution to a small problem, maybe even a better one than you could have built yourself. But overall, 95% of the code his company creates is still built by humans, because at the end of the day for a system to be reliable, people have to understand it.
Which is a complete and welcome turnaround from the demented slopfest of Gas Town which has one simple rule: We don't know what is going on and we don't care. Oh, and a second implied rule: The solution to too much slop is more slop.
- Apple is reportedly working on an AI powered wearable pin. (9to5Mac)
You know that literally nobody is going to buy this thing, right? Even the Tame Apple Press is, well, unimpressed. (9to5Mac)
- OpenAI is working on its own AI wearable device, probably earbuds. (Tech Crunch)
Well, unlike an AI pin which is not useful at all, earbuds are at least useful for cleaning earwax.
What? Something different? Don't be silly.
- Apps for boycotting American products surge to the top of the Danish app store. (Tech Crunch)
Nobody tell them.
- Microsoft is building 15 datacenters in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin. (Fox6Now)
This is on a site originally slated for a Foxconn factory, a plan that never went anywhere. Microsoft purchased the land from Foxconn and the first two datacenters are under construction now.
- Rocket company Blue Origin's TeraWave satellite constellation plans to deliver speeds of up to 6 terabits per second, bidirectional, to enterprise customers. (The Verge) (archive site)
Which used to be a lot.
- Why is America increasingly obsessed with prediction markets that perform no better than chance? (The Atlantic) (archive site)
They should read serious journals like Fascist Quarterly The Atlantic. We reliably get everything wrong.
- AI company Eightfold is being sued in California for - apparently - successfully removing litigious idiots from lists of job applicants. (Reuters)
Also, there's this self-ad in the middle of the article:Make sense of the latest ESG trends affecting companies and governments with the Reuters Sustainable Switch newsletter. Sign up here.
No. I don't think I shall.
- Ubisoft has ended remote work and told staff to be in the office five days a week because it makes mass layoffs more enjoyable to watch easier to manage. (Notebook Check)
If you had bough Ubisoft stock for 100 Euros in 2018, you would have jumped off a building by now.

I don't know what percentage of homeless have mental health issues, but I suspect the percentage is rather high.
So perhaps we could reframe this as providing government provided, affordable housing for the homeless.

The '16 Buick has the big engine, a 3.6 L V-6 that pumps out 300 hp. (Not that I've ever come close to using it all.) The manual says to use 5W-30 oil with the Dexos certification. I know there are plenty of solid oils which don't pay for that certification; but it makes for a convenient way to compare the brands.
When I finally move farther north, perhaps I'll go to a 0W-30 to deal with starting in cold weather. But a 5W is good down as far as the -20s, something I don't plan on ever seeing.

Yesterday morning we had a spate of freezing rain, sleet and snow over about 3 hours. You'd have thought it was the "Death Storm." I-65 between Louisville and Elizabethtown, KY was shut down. Numerous spots in the area were the scene of multi-car wrecks, slide-offs and the like. Businesses shuttered before opening. Schools closed.
There was no accumulations of snow or ice. Roads that were wet, became "icy," which was expected.

We are set for whatever weather turns up here in CenTex.
They canceled the Wild West Film Festival, though, because of possible ice and will reschedule.
At my volunteer job, the owners have okayed a major renovation in our building, which when finished should be a big improvement re: sorting donations and moving merch along.
We are in what was a residence of the nursing home and use the two upstairs wings to sort and prep and then sell everything downstairs.
So, we sort and store things in the former suites, which is a mess, actually. Things get put in the bathrooms and forgotten, the lighting is not great, traffic gets snarled.
This will be better.
Although I am wearing a mask while they work on the ceiling b/c who knows what's up there.

We use a battery-powered Dremel with a diamond-grit grinding head. The head is hollow cylinder with an open end, so not only is it fast, it dissipates heat much better.

With Kroger, we tried Dremel and normal cutter. Even though he was wearing a muzzle that was coated in peanut butter, he still tried to kill us. So we walked him as much as we could and if he ever had to be drugged, the vet tech would take advantage of the opportunity.

Isaac Asimov stated in a 1986 interview on the Manhattan public access show Conversations with Harold Hudson Channer -- with guest co-host Marilyn vos Savant:
"It's a little humbling to think that, what is most likely to survive of everything I've said... After all, I've published now... I've published now at least 20 million words. I'll have to figure it out, maybe even more. But of all those millions of words that I've published, I am convinced that 100 years from now only 60 of them will survive. The 60 that make up the Three Laws of Robotics."
OTOH, maybe they'll be forgotten by some or many in less than 40 years, sir ...

Posted by: no one of any consequence
I always tell people to learn YOUR state's definition of assault, because every state's definition is different. For example, Texas:
Assault
Sec. 22.01. ASSAULT. (a) A person commits an offense if the person:
(3) intentionally or knowingly causes physical contact with another when the person knows or should reasonably believe that the other will regard the contact as offensive or provocative.
A simple touch is enough for assault. Other states require more.

Whatever happened to the black teenager who murdered the white teenager -- football related? That was in Texas, right?
* searches grok *
"The April 2025 stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a white high school student and football player from Frisco, Texas (near Dallas). During a UIL District 11-5A track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Metcalf (from Memorial High School) confronted 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony (from rival Centennial High School), who was allegedly in the wrong spot—sitting under Memorial's team tent or in the wrong bleacher area. Witnesses and reports indicate Metcalf told Anthony he needed to move or leave the area, as he didn't belong there with their team.

"The confrontation escalated quickly. Anthony allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest/heart. Metcalf died in his twin brother's arms despite attempts to save him. Anthony was arrested on the scene and charged with first-degree murder. He reportedly told investigators he was "protecting himself" or acting in self-defense, but police and the victim's family described it as unprovoked after a verbal dispute over the location/seating.As of the most recent reports (from early 2025 onward, with no major updates indicating resolution by January 2026), Anthony remains in custody without bond, and the case is ongoing in the criminal justice system. No trial outcome, plea deal, or sentencing has been widely reported yet—it's still in pretrial stages based on available coverage."

First of all, Foxconn does have a large manufacturing facility in Racine County, and is expanding:
https://tinyurl.com/2vae6mjv
The notion that the Foxconn deal "failed" is Dem BS.
Microsoft is building on land that Foxconn had owned. It was attracted by the infrastructure that Wisconsin had developed in the area as part of the Foxconn deal. These include power and water - Lake Michigan (one of the world's largest) being close to the Foxconn/MS site. Whether the MS facility will actually benefit Wisconsin is an interesting question, since the number of local jobs it creates probably will be few. But we shall see.

On 31 December, the Finnish strongman [Juha Andersson] challenged the popular record for the heaviest deadlift with one finger, a title which has changed hands (or fingers) three times within 2025 alone. Yet Juha was more than confident that he could take the crown due to his championship background in competitive finger pulling, and on the last day of the year, the ultimate showdown began to see who has the toughest middle digit in the world. And turns out, Juha was right - because on his second attempt, he easily yanked 336.42 lbs (152.60 kg) off the ground with just one finger, narrowly beating Egmond Molina's (Aruba) best of 334 lbs (151.5 kg) from four months prior."Competitive finger pulling"? Apparently so. In Germany it's called "fingerhakeln" and the Finnish version is named "sormikoukku." Cue the "pull my finger" fart jokes (for the record, fart jokes are still funny).
This is diplomacy with Donald Trump. He's a T-Rex. You mate with him, or he devours you, one or the other. The Europeans could be (devoured) if they continue down this path and process. They need to stand tall, stand firm, stand united.Others can debate the geopolitics but if you had "mating with a T-Rex" on your political bingo card for 2026, congratulations! I look forward to other dinosaur references in the vocabulary of public policy. In related news...
Lincoln Logs are among a handful of classic toys made in the USA with American trees, but that's likely to change in a matter of weeks. Pride Manufacturing - the Maine factory that makes Lincoln Logs and other wood products - is closing in April after losing its biggest contract, to make cigar tips for another company. That leaves toymaker Basic Fun scrambling to find a new factory to manufacture the century-old brand that was founded by Frank Lloyd Wright's son, John, and has been a staple in families' toy chests for decades. Production of the $10 million brand will likely move overseas and cost consumers about 10% more, according to Jay Foreman, chief executive of Boca Raton, Fla.- based Basic Fun. Basic Fun, which makes other classic toys - including Lite Brite, Care Bears and Tonka Trucks - has initiated a 45-day search for a US supplier but it is also preparing a back-up plan in China to make sure it can produce enough toys for the holidays, Foreman said. The plastic pieces that come with Lincoln Log sets - including roofs and other accessories like farm animals and farmers - are made in China. They are shipped in bulk to the US and packed into the boxes and tins of wood parts that were made by Pride Manufacturing. The Burnham, Maine, factory made the sets starting in 2014. "After our largest customer made the decision to relocate their sourcing for cigar tips, our highest volume product, the facility became financially unviable," the firm said in a statement.Because some of you are likely more interested in the cigar angle to this story:
The customer, according to sources with knowledge of the situation, is John Middleton, a downmarket cigar maker and subsidiary of tobacco conglomerate Altria Company. Altria did not immediately respond to a request for comment about about why it yanked its business from Pride, which is the only cigar tip operation in the US, according to sources. The tips are made from birch wood and are sold as part of John Middleton's Black and Mild cigars, which come with FDA-approved flavored wood tips.

'One feature of Tyrannosaurus rex that everyone makes fun of is its arms, which seem disproportionately tiny compared to the rest of its massive body. T. rex's arms were over three feet long, however, and may have been capable of bench pressing 400 pounds each. In any event, T. rex didn't have the smallest arm-to-body ratio among carnivorous dinosaurs; that was the Carnotaurus, whose arms looked like tiny nubs.'

He just did this:
Deranged leftist activists illegally invaded a church service, interrupting worship and shutting down the church because the pastor has alleged ties to ICE. Don Lemon was there, livestreaming his participation in the event too. “This is what the First Amendment is about, the freedom to protest,” Don Lemon said as he and his comrades harassed families with children. “I’m sure people here don’t like it, but protests are not comfortable.”
Human Events’ Jack Posobiec confronted Newsom about the incident at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and he just claimed to have “literally” no idea what Posobiec was talking about.
“It’s funny. Somebody mentioned Don Lemon and Trump the other day, and so I have no idea what that’s about,” Newsom said, nodding his head and shrugging his shoulders.
“Don Lemon? Into a church?” he continued, with a (fake) embarrassed chuckle.

Tent camping in the National Forest it was 18 degrees, wind 35mph & gusting, freezing rain with a bottle of CC and a Coleman lantern.
Across the way was an FMC cruiser, drapes open at the picture window, husband in shorts drinking a beer while the wife was fixing up grub.
That was the last time I went tent camping.

The only time I saw the MS River in Memphis I harfed, one of my 3 harfings from booze. This time my introduction to te-kill-ya. No thanks! Crazy story I may have told here.
Love the map of the weather. I know y'all don't need snow but we do out in the mountains of the West, so blow it back here. I'll take the very cold temps, too.
I had very good news today, after dreading this appt for 2mo (cardiologist). My fainting in November is apparently ye olde syncope of 4yrs ago and not cardiac related. I read the tests, 1/3 of brain thought it would be ok; 1/3 of brain thought more tests and stress to maybe be ok. One third of my brain never thought the PA would tell me I don't have to see her again unless I have problems! Incredibly thankful to God that all is well. I will continue to be good and lose weight.
I also love Tina Turner! By this summer my legs are going to look like hers. They aren't bad, but I want that muscle. Won't be dancing in heels, however. She was amazing! Sang right through her cardio workouts!

I believe Greenland has a small forest of birch trees in the southwest corner? But I was thinking rather of shipping suitable lumber there, have one shop mill it up into dowels, and then farm the dowels out to small home workshops that could mill the joints, and stain them.

She's told tales since she was around 2yrs that I totally believe. Because she's talked like an adult since then. I've gotten better about questioning her parents and finding out the real truth. At 2yrs she told me a "strange man picked her up on a cruise and bit her." I was a bit enraged until my son told me the truth (a man offered to hold her while her father fixed the stroller. No one bit her). I'm telling you, she's crazy.

Funny you should ask--I looked her up on a few weeks ago. Apparently her reach was longer than her grasp. They were ready to write her in as a regular on Happy Days. But they couldn't come to terms with her on a contract. And she never did regular television again (at least not for any length).

Yep! Many don't know that Greenville is famous for their hot tamales. There's even a festival. The late writer (yeah, a liberal woman) was from there and I do like her books about the Delta.
I had a chance to see BB King at a little dive there in HS. Told the guy no. Mainly because I didn't know him and also, sadly, was not into BB King. Plus my parents would not have let me go that far anyway. I wish I had now.
I love the blues, thanks to my NY husband guitarist (hobby, not a pro). My favorite song is this one by Alvin Lee that I heard with him. Love that so many Brits like Eric Clapton came to the MS Delta to learn the blues.
I love the melody and lyrics of this song...thankfully never had to feel these blues personally. Well, the first time my bf/husband broke up with me in college for no reason I was blue. The second time I was irritated. The third time I was whatever. He learned a lesson, however. What a Moron!

I’m in Boerne until tomorrow, when I’m headed back home to Round Rock (just north of Austin). I was wandering around downtown Boerne this morning and passed a Spec’s. Stopped in, and they had a whole bunch of a Texas gin I really like that’s gone out of business. It was on discontinued pricing, too, so I am well-stocked for martinis and bee’s knees for the duration.

This crazy girl of ours looks like me, too, bless her heart. She has blue eyes to my green, otherwise you can tell she's mine...but 1000x smarter and prettier and athletic and competative. Look out world in 10yrs! Her poor parents deserve pity for what is ahead.

My plan, which I adhered to strictly, was not to plan this day but just wander around. Found an amazing place selling restored old gasoline pumps and soda bottle dispensers. They were beautiful. I wandered some antique places, and enjoyed the Boerne Library bookstore. Ate very unhealthy food. Drank at the hotel bar, which is quite nice, and not just for a hotel bar.

Got the zinc already. Throat isn't sore. Sinuses aren't particularly stuffy. Just doing fine and then *whammo* rapid-fire multiple sneezes! And then I'm fine for another 30 or 60 minutes or whatever.
Even woke me out of sound sleep last night-- 4 sneezes in a row. Strange.
You know, I wonder if it's due to the warmer than normal temps we've had since Christmas-- perhaps caused a false spring and some of the trees are blooming now instead of late February? I do usually have a reaction to early tree pollen.

I haven't listened to most of his music...but I'll bet my husband has. Fantastic guitarist.
I think it's interesting that so many from the UK would come to meet and play with BB King deep in the MS Delta: Eric Clapton, Ringo, and Steve Winwood, etc.
It's definitely another universe of poverty and soul food and good people. I only rode through once on a very bad Greyhound bus nightmare (with a hangover) from that fateful Memphis trip.
I forgot the late (liberal) author who wrote about the MS Delta from Greenville when I posted above:
Julia Reed.

Nice! I have a couple of walls of them, plus others here & there. They were affordable, even back when I had crappy, low-pay jobs. They have held up well over decades of use. The trick is to *not disassemble* when moving-- just take the shelf boards out to reduce weight. The cheapo plastic support clips sometimes get lost or broken, but I found sturdy replacements at Hdepot.

Good luck with that:
Viewpoint Discrimination: The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the government (federal, state, or local) cannot restrict speech simply because it disagrees with the message or finds it offensive. Favoring one political opinion while restricting another is known as "viewpoint discrimination," which is considered an "egregious" violation of the First Amendment.

Don't know the health problems but pray they will improve.
Regarding the job: I pray one you never dreamed of will happen. I was laid off as a RN abruptly from a neonatologist office (so were MD's and ARNP's due to a financial gamble the lead doc made). The beetch director of the L&D and nursery only gave me an option of 11-7 shifts, knowing I had young boys and my husband traveled a lot. I said no and collected unemployment, which I never dreamed of doing.
We'd just signed a contract to build a house. I tried everything and just finally said to heck with it. That summer I played with our sons at the beach and taught myself to watercolor. I ended up with a not great job for 9mo, then a great job I'd applied for (a shot in the dark) came my way. To teach as a clinical adjuct professor of a RN program at the med center. This then led to other jobs in case management. And the momentum kept growing from there, with two jobs created for me.
I consider the layoff now to be a blessing. It will happen for you, too. Never give up.

I always liked the metal pin type clips. Real strong. The top of the line cabinets had the metal pilasters running down the sides that used the metal clips. They were great, each slot was numbered so no guesswork. Yeah I got shitloads of clips, handle screws, hinge screws, you name it. I had a friend one time complaining that his clips were breaking and he can't find the exact ones. I said uh, asshole, you know what I used to do for a living right? Show me a clip. I had them, a gave him a huge handful.

It was those plastic ones that had that springy part that pops out after you drop the shelf in and locks the shelf down, and to get the shelf out you have to push the plastic thing in enough to lift the self out, but you have to do both front and back clip almost together. People get impatient and sometimes break the damn things. The shelves are cut a tad shorter to fit in between the clips, so unless you use that type again the shelf can slide back and forth.

My cheapo shelves are all the kind that have holes drilled down the insides every inch. Clips push into the holes & shelves sit atop the clips, held down by whatever gets put on the shelves. Simple and cheap cheap cheap! Not "decorator" level by any stretch of imagination but for the price, at least not some homemade eyesore.

Thats good because the shelves are cut to fit the box, not the clips. Those metal pins I was talking about are great for that. They look like a steel pin that somebody hammered one end almost flat. The flat part is under the shelf. Stick the round end in holes and you're done. You'll never break them. I found nice ones at home depot that I used when I built the book cases from hell in the old house. They were gold in color which looked good against the cherry color or the wood. They didn't cost much at all. Are yours the kind with the smaller 1/8" pin?

Maybe whatever passes for an impeller bearing fianlly wore out, allowing the impeller to contact the housing. In air, the drag is not too bad and the motor can overcome it and start; in water, the load is enough, combined with the impeller drag, to stall the motor.

Posted by: JQ at January 22, 2026 01:32 AM (rdVOm)
I took it apart and the damn thing looked almost mint. There was a little wobble in the shaft which tells me the bearing isn't good, and there is a seal, and seals don't work good on shafts with play. The bearings are cooled by the water, and the armature is in a stainless steel tube that sits inside the field coils, so it appears to be brushless. They aren't worth rebuilding because the assholes want stoooopid money for the parts. the start up capacitor? A stupid 250 volt 5mf cap, maybe $5-10 the most if I wanted it for a guitar amp. From the pump company..$80. The cartridge is replaceable, and they want $130 for it. The entire pump new was $175.

The impeller wasn't contacting the housing, but, with the motor section standing up on on its back there is definitely some drag when you spin it. There is also an easy 1/8" front to back play on the shaft. I think the water pressure was probably pushing the shaft back into the motor where there is resistance. It definitely has to have a worn bushing. Plus I think with the bushing being worn that seal was probably letting water into that sealed area. The pump maker says the pump can be installed with the motor upright, but not with the motor hanging, so that tells me drag is a concern, and when this sucker is standing on its back there is some drag which the pressure amplified with the bushing being smoked. Mine is installed horizontally as it should be.

One would thing the Left would analyze his negotiation strategies. Or read his book Art of the Deal.
Those expectations would be crushed by reality. The Left, including media, are unlearned and uneducable.

There's a new comedy on Fox about a big city doctor who faints at the sight of blood so relocates to a small town, Doctor Best. I thought it might be funny but no. He's an asshole brilliant doctor (and we haven't seen enough of those!) who first meets an outgoing (read asshole) AWFL Karen who, no doubt, will be his love interest, an interracial gay couple, another interracial hetero couple, the wife being adventurously adulterous, and a screwball secretary.

The preface, Dickens talks about meeting a farmer in Yorkshire while doing research, and he says: [my comments]
“Weel, Misther, we’ve been vara pleasant toogather, and ar’ll spak’ my moind tiv’ee. Dinnot let the weedur [widow] send her lattle boy to yan o’ our school-measthers, while there’s a harse to hoold in a’ Lunnun, or a gootther to lie asleep in. Ar wouldn’t mak’ ill words amang my neeburs, and ar speak tiv’ee quiet loike. But I’m dom’d if ar can gang to bed and not tellee, for weedur’s sak’, to keep the lattle boy from a’ sike scoondrels while there’s a harse to hoold in a’ Lunnun, or a gootther to lie asleep in!
[that last bit is "while there's a horse to hold in London, or a gutter to lie asleep in.] [holding a horse was way for street kids to earn a shilling for food.]

"Apple is not relocating its headquarters from Cupertino, California, to Texas.Apple's headquarters remains in Cupertino, as confirmed by official announcements and its ongoing operations there. Recent news from Apple's own press releases (e.g., in 2025) lists announcements as coming from Cupertino, California, and describes expansions elsewhere without any mention of moving the core HQ.
Apple has significantly expanded in Texas, particularly in Austin (where it has a major campus with over 13,000 employees as of recent updates, including ongoing construction and a second campus) and Houston (a new 250,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility for AI servers set to open in 2026 as part of a massive $500–600 billion U.S. investment commitment)."

High number of new trolls hitting. I saw this shit all the time when I worked on zoning issues, memaw and papaw want to sell out of Meglamart for handfuls of cash but have to get their property rezoned from residential to commercial for the sale to go through. In most cases, it would dump on their former neighbors in light, noise, and car exhaust for a stop n go or worse.
People have a right to sell property but that does not mean that they have the legal or moral right to get whatever price they want from their property nor force changes in existing law to do it. Never has been true generally and why zoning got instituted at the beginning of the 20th century.
Basically zoning codified centuries of common law that you cannot use your property to the extent that it damages your neighbors.
Our Constitution was founded on negative rights to be left alone but once one engages in commerce, then it can and has been regulated since colonial times for the common benefit.

I played 12 years of football and even more years of baseball, and I have three prominent scars that ALL came while pole vaulting during my 8th grade year.
Two ripped open wounds in my legs from the sharp track cleats during a jump (one ascending, one descending), and one busted open my chin from coming down hard on the metal crossbar after clearing it my a couple of feet. There were a couple of times I came down from 10-11' without hitting the cushioned pit -- once on the cement upon which a standard was sitting.
Back in the days when we didn't even slap a hot iron on the bleeding ... let alone clean the wound or get stitches.

Riparian damage from construction, destruction of border trees, escaping cows, illegal hunting or fishing, the list goes on. So yes, if you ever read old court cases, much of it was about property including border disputes.
And in cities, they did such things as tight regulations to prevent fires, quarantines locking you in your own house during epidemics, etc.
The only reason that the frontier did not have as much was not due to existing laws but lack of people to actually enforce them. Still true today, assholes in the country dump trash on neighbor's land, burn tires, let their livestock run loose from shoddy fencing, and so on.
They even conscripted men to work on public roads, sewers, etc. as a public duty as well as requiring service in militias, etc.
Libertarianism is largely a mythic view of the past that any sober student of history knows is skewed history of the past.

The really funny historical irony is the Confederacy so known for states rights actually had a much stronger commerce clause in its Constitution than the US. It just could not enforce such during the war. Same thing for its presidency. State's rights was largely like it is today for places like MN, an excuse to ignore federal law contrary to what it wants. Aided by one of the worst decisions that Scotus ever issued in Dred Scott, appalling morally, legally, and politically.

My dissertation was on another area of law altogether, criminal law actually.
A history of one of the original colony's Bill of Rights. To do it right, had to spend about three years researching old law from ancient England back to the Magna Carta and before, canon law, Judaic law (reading the Babylonian Talmud slowly), and colonial law from about 2016-2020. Then Covid hit and my health went to shit and was trying to keep teaching despite mounting physical problems. Couldn't fit in the research among doctor visits and teaching.
After my back surgery coming up, I am going to revisit my work and try to push through and finish. Lots of footnotes along the way. I would actually teach ancient laws now and again upon demand dating back to the origins of canon law, Mosaic law, and items like the Code of Hammurabi. I also used to teach Comparative law which is simply Roman law cubed and squared in most of the Western World that does not speak English.
Chinese and Islamic law I know slightly as an outsider not speaking Chinese or Arabic.

The Jerusalem Talmud is interesting as it focuses more on agrarian issues but the Babylonian is the mainstream of talmudic thought. Mosaic law in the Bible has to be filtered through the lived experiences and rise of rabbinical Judaism in the absence of a central priesthood. Fascinating stuff and you can see where the Judaic influence mingled with Roman law to create canon law which then begat civil law for most of Europe.
I can literally lose myself for hours reading and cross checking references in such matters.
Islamic law is like trying to nail jello to the wall depending on which of the four major schools you favor. I 've read some Ottoman law, primarily on the treatment of minorities and some current Islamic treatises but you really have to speak the language to know much about what is going on there. Ditto in spades for China where you have communism overlaid over older Confucianism and Empire law.

So I am taking a break from the law and reading Pope Benedict's three books on Jesus and his life. Benedict was probably the most theological of all the recent popes and very sound compared to his successor. Very readable but reading the new Testament provisions to understand Jesus in multiple levels can limit me to about one or two chapters per night. It will open your eyes before it puts you to sleep.

I found the more I read and try to understand, the more ignorant I feel. My discipline since Covid and lack of concentration since my physical problems worsened has caused a bit of withdrawal from active research for the moment and more to just absorb the background behind what I am trying to explain.
By more fully understanding the roots of something like two witnesses std (Mosaic law) which then was adopted as a standard for treason by the US, the distinction of twelve jurors relating back to the twelve tribes, and so on. I found myself going back and forth to the black letter law in the Bible but then the understandings by the rabbis in the Talmuds or even the Essenes in the Dead Sea Scrolls that can explain how these came about.

@NYCPDDEA
Last week, two NYPD Detectives were mistreated while seeking medical attention at NYU Langone – Cobble Hill Emergency Room after being injured on duty during the arrest of a violent perpetrator. Upon arrival, they were met with rudeness, disrespect, and a lack of basic professional courtesy by hospital administrators.
It is an outrage that any NYPD Detective injured in the line of duty should have to worry about being treated at any hospital in the city they protect. As nurses across the city strike over issues like workplace safety, treating Detectives poorly is not how to make hospitals safer.
No one—especially Detectives injured in the line of duty—should face such treatment. The DEA is investigating this matter and will pursue all available remedies to ensure our members are treated with the dignity and respect they have earned.

It says ICE agents are allowed to forcibly enter a person’s home using an administrative warrant if a judge has issued a “final order of removal.” Administrative warrants permit officers and agents to make arrests and are different from judicial warrants, which judges or magistrates sign allowing entry into homes.
Lyons notes in the document that detaining people “in their residences” based solely on administrative warrants is a change from past procedures.
“Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose,” the memo reads.
The memo says agents may “arrest and detain aliens” in their places of residence who are subject to final orders of removal issued by immigration judges, the Board of Immigration Appeals, or U.S. district or magistrate judges.

Quick Hits
Trump: I signed a bill to begin funding insane asylums again.
Trump also signed an EO blocking big investment companies from buying up single family homes.Both American mega-corporations like Black Rock and Vanguard and foreign corporations, especially Chinese, have bought up many tens of thousands of homes and properties in the USA between them. These monopolistic efforts exacerbated an already difficult housing market. In his Tuesday executive order, Trump blamed Wall Street investors for "crowding out families seeking to buy homes." He accused:Therefore, Trump requires Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Assistant to the President for Economic Policy Kevin Hassett to come up with definitions of "large institutional investor" and "single-family home" within the next 30 days in order to ensure the executive order is implemented.
Hardworking young families cannot effectively compete for starter homes with Wall Street firms and their vast resources. Neighborhoods and communities once controlled by middle-class American families are now run by faraway corporate interests. People live in homes, not corporations. My Administration will take decisive action to stop Wall Street from treating America's neighborhoods like a trading floor and empower American families to own their homes. To preserve the supply of single-family homes for American families and increase the paths to homeownership, it is the policy of my Administration that large institutional investors should not buy single-family homes that could otherwise be purchased by families.
Commentary: Trump Truth Social Posts On XPeople have speculated that this deal could cost us $700 billion, which, in terms you can understand, is equal to eight Somali day care centers. But that's a lot of money for a rock covered in snow and Eskimos. Vodkapundit: Never forget the Obamas' corruption.
@TrumpTruthOnX Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations -- They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (TS: 21 Jan 14:27 ET)
One of Barack Obama's pet projects was a little something called Net Neutrality, and when Trump ended it early during his first term, it literally murdered everybody who had miraculously survived his tax cuts. But the point is that, starting with House of Cards, a little non-black-owned firm called Netflix was poised for explosive growth. Without going too deep into the woods on an old issue, from 2013 (House of Cards launch) to 2015, the 11--15% of Americans streaming Netflix sucked down 30--37% of peak-hour bandwidth -- while paying the same flat rate as everyone else. One solution might be that internet service providers (ISPs) could charge Netflix extra during peak hours. I like that solution, because it incentivizes ISPs to build more bandwidth. Netflix could either eat the charges or pass it along to their customers who were using all that bandwidth. Or ISPs could throttle Netflix's streaming quality -- and here's where things got tricky -- without throttling the quality of the streamers they operated, like Comcast-owned NBCUniversal. ... However, Netflix founder and co-CEO Reed Hastings -- a big-money Obama donor and frequent White House visitor -- continued his extremely vocal support for Net Neutrality, which eventually forbid deals like that one. "Bits are bits," and under Net Neutrality, ISPs couldn't charge more for this bit (Netflix's) than they did for that bit (Nana's latest LOLcat post on Facebook). Even though Netflix was using trillions more bits. ... [O]bama remained a yuge proponent of Net Neutrality going into his second term, railing against "gatekeepers deciding which sites you get to access." But it was never about Comcast blocking you from visiting VeryNaughtySite.com. It was about Netflix and Netflix subscribers getting a free ride -- and how to locate the grift. ... In 2018, safely out of office, the Obamas landed a multi-year Netflix production deal reportedly worth at least $50 million (according to various sources like the New York Post), through Higher Ground Productions, churning out award bait nobody streams. This was one of the most visible examples of post-office windfall politics in modern history, and hardly anyone blinked. I mean, look at the virtually unwatched content Higher Ground Productions made: American Factory (2019 Oscar-winning documentary)
Crip Camp (2020 Oscar nominee)
Becoming (2020 Michelle Obama documentary)
Exit West (upcoming scripted series)
Rustin (2023 film on civil rights leader Bayard Rustin)
Leave the World Behind (2023 apocalyptic thriller) If you hadn't heard of those, you aren't alone -- neither had I, and I'm paid to follow this stuff. But the Obamas certainly took home enough Netflix money to "buy everyone."

Its not as bad as one might think. We "borrowed" buyers from the future during Covid when rates were dropped into the 2's and 3's, and as a result the market has been dramatically slower the last couple of years. If one drew a line showing "typical" growth in housing prices, we're about where one would expect, but with ups and downs in the data rather than a gradual curve upwards.

Trump 2.0 has a team of true killers working the legal side of his stuff. Each action is covered by multiple authorities that have to be unwound individually. They also have mountains of precedent.
So yes, district court judges can throw injunctions, but they always fall, and as time passes, more of Trump's stuff sticks. It was always a stopgap measure.

@bluelivesmtr
16h
We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors.
We're not saying we had teams comprised of HUNDREDS of off-duty cops and veterans volunteer to run decoy operations so far-left activists THOUGHT they were conducting ICE raids.
We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors.
What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen [ . . . ]

Yes, you feel you were born in the wrong body. That would be horrifying. But I think a LOT of the mental trauma is hating their bodies and the biology they were born with. Not loving themselves, warts and all. You were born this way! Embrace it. They fight so hard to hate the one part of themselves they can't, their chromosomes. It's heartbreaking to see the struggle. And instead of helping them love themselves as they are, they seek out doctors and therapists that feed into the self hatred for money. I feel like it's malpractice.

Do not sell out your hard earned Liberty in the name of rounding up criminals. Your rights as an American are being infringed. If you're not on r/minnesota get on it
These names they give these operations aren’t funny and are deeply inhumane. These are people for God’s sake.
The idea that this regime is using criminal history in any way shape or form as a justification for deportation is completely asinine. Anyone with a “criminal history” has paid their debt to society in accordance with the law. The matter is over.
Take photos. Save them. Despite this horrific, disgusting, and disgraceful period, the Nuremberg trials are a part of history that we will see repeated.
They're all fucking proud boys, the masks are at least as much to protect the Trump admin for hiring all this scum as it is to protect the scum from prosecution in the future.

I have a feeling her daughter that did the Weinstein internship was treated with kid gloves and not abused. But she purposely change her name for film projects to NOT be attached with her parents and find her own way. Maybe mom is upset about that and thinks her ungrateful.

My home town serves about 55,000 and we are barely supporting one flight a day to St. Louis, and maybe Chicago, idk. And Greenland has cruise ships, we don't get any of those.
But yes, Greenlanders would be better off under the USA umbrella. If the cost was really $700B, that is like $10M per Greenlander. Better than the $46K Denmark was promising for covertly sterilizing their children.

There's a new comedy on Fox about a big city doctor who faints at the sight of blood so relocates to a small town, Doctor Best. I thought it might be funny but no. He's an asshole brilliant doctor (and we haven't seen enough of those!) who first meets an outgoing (read asshole) AWFL Karen who, no doubt, will be his love interest, an interracial gay couple, another interracial hetero couple, the wife being adventurously adulterous, and a screwball secretary.

Not sure why I have to say this, but in February of 2025, Trump said we wanted the Panama Canal back, and might take it by force, etc. etc. Same song and dance. At the end of the day, we settled for an agreement to force out Chinese companies who were managing the canal. Which was the goal the whole time.
This is the same fucking thing. China’s publication of its first white paper on its Arctic Policy in January 2018, identifying itself as a ‘Near-Arctic State’ and with a prominent goal of establishing a Polar Silk Road. Trump is saying "no way."
The deal will be Greenland is open to European and North American investment...and nobody else. Some sort of exclusive 99-year rights agreement. Maybe we pay Greenland a bit of cash to secure exclusive rights.
Trump's big goal is to force China out of the western Hemisphere. All the way out.

The U.S. say this and realized this is exactly the sort of thing Russia or China could do to us. The only solution is to push back the defensive parameter. Push it way back. So far back the drones won't have the juice to reach the U.S. Greenland, the Panama Canal, Venezuela, Cuba - these are all becoming red zones for the U.S. We need to exert some control over that space, so they won't be launching points for this sort of attack.
He's also trying to do this without saying why he is doing it, lest there be fear and panic. Also not to alert the bad guys he's on to the danger.
Canada is being a major dumbass right now - cozying up to China is very much the wrong move with Trump.

Look, asylums used to be horrible places. because we'd just pack all the crazy in, with no cure. Then we developed drugs to combat the crazy. So, they let them out. But one crazy gets off his meds and he becomes a homeless menace. And they got rid of the asylums, so there is no going back.
Put the crazies into the asylum and force them to take their meds. Crazy and on meds, in an asylum setting, means the place won't be nearly as awful. Heck, people can be monitored, even have remote jobs.

Trump Objects to Queer Starmer's Giveway of Critical Chagos Islands
The important Indian Ocean base of Diego Garcia is located at these islands.
President Trump has called the U.K.'s decision to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius -- a deal his administration previously supported -- an act of "great stupidity" that further justified his desire for the U.S. to acquire Greenland. One of the islands, Diego Garcia, is the site of a key U.K.-U.S. military base in the Indian Ocean. "Shockingly, our 'brilliant' NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER," Mr. Trump said early Tuesday on his own Truth Social platform. "There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. These are International Powers who only recognize STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before. The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP." Mr. Trump issued his statement as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson, a Republican, was in the U.K. to address the British parliament, where he told lawmakers the U.S. and U.K. had "always been able to work through our differences calmly as friends. We will continue to do that. I want to assure you this morning that that is still the case." The Chagos Islands were separated from Mauritius, which was then a British colony, in 1965.The UK paid Mauritius for the islands, but Mauritius is claiming the deal was unfair. Queer Starmer claims that Trump reversed his previous OK to pressure the UK over Greenland.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer went after President Trump on Wednesday for reversing position on a deal surrounding the Chagos Islands, suggesting the president did so because of tensions over his plan to acquire Greenland. "I made out my position on Greenland absolutely clear on Monday and a moment ago. President Trump deployed words on Chagos yesterday that were different to his previous words of welcome and support when I met him in the White House," Starmer said in the House of Commons. "He deployed those words yesterday for the express purpose of putting pressure on me and Britain in relation to my values and principles on the future of Greenland," he added, emphasizing he would not give in.
President Trump is absolutely right to point out the staggering stupidity of the United Kingdom handing over the strategically vital Chagos Islands to a country more than 1,200 miles away that has no connection to them (and that happens to be a vassal of China), purely as an act… pic.twitter.com/wLD0u3PBGY

What I have heard (not paying close attention) is that Mauritius was never culturally close to Chagos, and that the Brits moved the Chagosians to Mauritius as required.
This presents two problems.
1. Why give it to Mauritius, as they have nothing to do with that land.
1. Now that there are native Chagoisians identified, and they are not Mauritiusavians, UK law states that they can not "sell" the land to anyone, but instead have to some how repatriate the Chagoisains (I am not really clear on this bit, I just know that the originally planned deal is now considered a violation of UK law.)
Also, it is important to note that
- Mauritius is totally controlled by China
- The deal would give $7.8 trillion dollars to every Mauritiusavian, (or something like that.)
- And absolutely no MP or Lords were paid by CCP to facilitate this nonsense

That is the point.
I think the UK surrender of land to China's vassal keeps a 99 year lease of Diego Garcia.
I'll be dead by the time the lease expires, so I don't care... unless Mauritius comes back a few months later and claims the lease is "not fair" and UK capitulates again.

During the Israel-US - Iran dust up last year we used that base as a distraction. B-2's from Whiteman AFB here in the US were used for that raid. We even moved aircraft off that airbase because Iran had ballistic missile capable of reaching it.

I know it's sarcasm. But the sad thing is that I had family and friends I adored my whole life. And ever since 2016, many of them transformed into Karen Covidians valuing security over freedom (and as Ben Franklin warned us, getting neither), with rampant TDS. And they chose to sever ties with me.
So while it's a joke, there are people in little grey boxes here, and talking heads, I suspect would have my back over my own flesh and blood. And it's tragic that I lost them in my life. And I'm far from the only one.

One reason we need sovereignty over critical national security locations like Diego Garcia and Greenland is because the Euro elites are so easily corrupted by Beijing or Moscow or Soros.
There was actually a German Chancellor that was hired by the Russian gas monopoly immediately after leaving office.

"So why are they paying Mauritius and giving it to them?"
Chagos is in the middle on nowhere. The only people there were put there by rubber tree plantation owners or something to tap the trees. (or something. Don't take me seriously as I don't really care enough to remember details.) they were as un-contacted as those guys who throw spears at drones. They all died of the common cold when outsiders showed up.
But, Mauritius is the nearest land so they figure to give it to them. It would be like finding Fiji, and handing it to Hawaii, and paying them quadrillions for the favor.

NOBODY lived on the island before the Europeans arrived. How do you think it got the name Diego Garcia? The French settled it in 1778, and the French Governor of Mauritius granted Monsieur Dupuit de la Faye the island of Diego Garcia. They abandoned it, and it was settled by the British. The British settlement failed, and the French took over turning it into a leper colony. Britian won it back during the Napoleonic wars. 1814 to 1965 Great Briton administered it as part of Mauritius. To settle any dispute, the UK purchased the Chagos Archipelago, which includes Diego Garcia, from the then self-governing colony of Mauritius for £3 million.
The island was never inhabited or colonized by Mauritius. It was only nominally part of their territory when Britian ruled Mauritius.

Between watching the miniseries Victoria and The Crown, one would get a sense that Prime Ministers are at risk all the time of being thrown out of office on a threat of no confidence. Victoria had to play some crazy 3D chess, and give a title to some guy's wife, to get Lord M to stay on as her chosen Prime Minister. It seems like there is a threat of no confidence looming at any given moment.

Panama tried to sell out to China, and as it stood in 2024, China effectively controlled both ends of the Canal an in times of war they would have made it impassible to the USA.
Philippines started selling out to China long ago, and for their troubles China claimed territory spitting distance from the Philippine Islands.
Both of these were USA territory and strategic, but China is very aggressive for that very reason. It is very easy to corrupt people into selling out.

During the Israel-US - Iran dust up last year we used that base as a distraction. B-2's from Whiteman AFB here in the US were used for that raid. We even moved aircraft off that airbase because Iran had ballistic missile capable of reaching it.

China is unlikely to attack, at least in the short run because,

China has decided that- "War Is For Suckaz"(TM).
They have been able to achieve almost everything they want with bribes to those in power in gov't and industry.

Usually in the South you can get by with it until you can't. Every now and then we get one of "those" winters. Best to stay at home and don't get out in it. And heat with gas or propane. And of course stock up on easy to fix groceries. I just got back from Dollar General where I dropped a hundred bucks. But the dogs and I have to eat. BTW. Dollar General was packed. It will be worse tomorrow.

Mauritius NEVER "owned" the Chagos Islands. NEVER.
They are over 1000 miles apart. The Republic of Seychelles and the Republic of Maldives are both closer. Hell, Sri Lanka is closer.
At one time the British Administration treated them as an entity (BIOT). That is the claim. Because the colonial British Empire clumped them all together to make it easier on some clerk in Old Blighty, some jumped up clown who stole/bought enough votes on an island a 1000 miles away should determine the fate of strategic US base.

For that matter, it was never inhabited by anyone before the Europeans came along. Neither was Mauritius. The only victim of the "colonization" of Mauritius was the dodo (turns out that mixing hungry sailors with tasty, turkey-sized flightless pigeons with no inborn fear of humans doesn't work out well for the birds).
One could make some argument for handing over Mauritius to the descendants of the slaves who had been imported there (by France, not Britain), but no such argument applies to Diego Garcia. The French didn't even use it as a slave plantation. Unlike Mauritius, Diego Garcia is not suited for agriculture. The French mostly used it as a dumping ground for lepers.

CNN Sissy Accuses Trump of Being "Provably" Part of "Global Sex Trafficking Ring," and Liberal Host Wants to Let the Defamation Stand With No Pushback
It falls to Scott Jennings to object, and to press the leftwing host to even address the major, serious, no-defense-possible defamation that just occurred.
First the host pushes back against Jennings, saying "I'll do the fact-checking here," except he didn't do it and clearly doesn't want to do it. Ultimately Jennings moggs him into offering the weakest possible "Trump hasn't been charged with crimes" fact check, but Berman would have let the defamation stand completely unchecked if not for Jennings' demand. Trump is going to sue CNN, and they'll have to settle, because there is just no defense here. The clown made a false factual statement, not an opinion, and emphasized that he was speaking about what he was claiming was a proven fact by adding the word "provably." And yes, CNN is liable for defamation that one of its panelists speaks on its platform.OvertonAnd only then did he offer his brief, grudging, weak "fact check."
@overton_news A smug 25-year-old leftist activist just got HUMBLED live on CNN by Scott Jennings. Cameron Kasky claimed President Trump was part of a "human sex-trafficking network" -- and for a moment, the panel let it slide. Until @ScottJenningsKY stepped in and FORCED the host John Berman to correct the record for all to hear. KASKY: "So I am appreciative that the president is being transparent about this. I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex-trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win them all." BERMAN: "Cameron's grateful that the president is being transparent about the Nobel Peace Prize and his desires for Greenland. Scott, what do you think about that?" JENNINGS: "You're going to let that sit? Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring, or...?" BERMAN: "We're going to talk about the Epstein files. Scott... I will do the fact checking as we go along here. Repeat what you said about the global sex trafficking ring." KASKY: "That Donald Trump was provably very involved with it." Berman suddenly realized he was cornered...

@camkasky 20h I would like to retract my comments from CNN last night and truly apologize. Donald Trump was obviously not involved with a giant international child sex trafficking ring where women and children were systematically raped by elites. I said that by accident and didn;t mean it.

4. You only put this out because of real fear that you & your employer will be sued.
5. I’ll bet if your employer is sued…

Trump is suing the BBC for $10 billion for deceptively editing his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, to make it appear he told his supporters to storm the Capitol. While that case is ongoing, Trump has had a string of successes with similar lawsuits. Meta agreed to pay $25 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit over his suspension from Facebook. Alphabet paid a $22 million settlement for suspending Trump’s YouTube channel. CBS settled with Trump for $16 million over its deceptive edits of Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview in a blatant attempt at election interference. ABC News settled with Trump for $15 million over George Stephanopoulos’s false claims about him. These companies did not settle out of charity or goodwill.

Oh no! He needs to stay in media, jump from CNN to hosting his own show somewhere. If the media realizes they need to pivot to the center, and hire him as a center-right draw. OR if Elon buys a network, or Trump does after his run as POTUS.
He's great now. But the swamp is SO good at corrupting even the most valiant of our warriors. I don't know what the swamp would do to Scott Jennings, tbh.
Now, Scott Pressler has hinted at a run, he's so done with the feckless spineless GOP not doing anything. He's a valuable on-the-ground warrior. But I actually believe he'd be amazing in congress.

Watch them, this is a line coming from Nick Fuentes and associated crew to dirty Mossad and Israel with Epstein. Coordinated op to hide Democrat complicity.
Have them read the old depositions given in the Epstein Miami trial in the 00's. Those are all public and give a sense of that time and place when Epstein operated out of Miami and Trump had Mar A Lago.
After that, it is clear that Trump had nothing to do with Epstein and in fact his own DoJ charged Epstein and Ghislaine.
Goldman Sachs is faced with the embarrassing fact that their Obama admin lawyer, Katherine Ruemmler, exchanged lots of emails with Ghislaine and Epstein after his conviction in 2008. To the point that the firm may fire her for it.

It started after Trump's stupid 180 degree turn on releasing Epstein files after a visit by Bibi, after having campaigned on total transparency on everything. That led to the ill-advised push for congressional legislation forcing the disclosure.
The president needn't have folded to Bibi on this. One can be certain there is nothing in the files that would lead to the Mossad or the CIA. The FBI would never document such a thing and prosecutor Alex Acosta was told to back away from any intelligence connection many years ago.
We don't know who has custody of the kompromat video recordings of many of America's elite cavorting with underage girls, but we can be certain the answer is not in FBI files.

I am amazed that when called out they are either reduced to sputtering incoherence, or straight up ad hominem attacks.
I rather enjoy it. The best defense for ad hominem attacks is to remain completely nonplussed and point out their nastiness, and then state that proves they have zero rebuttal to my actual factual points.

We should love him like he's close family, like he could never do anything to disappoint us because he's so close to us personally.
We should eschew real connections with people we know and replace them with media connections who will never even know our names.
This is the way.

The simple fact of the matter is that the 2020 census redraw gerrymandered the entire country to such a degree that the number of actually up in the air House seats is between 20-30.

Justice D E-I Cites "Black Codes" Which Stripped Post-Civil-War Blacks of Right to Bear Arms As Good Law In Order to Justify Endless Gun Control
Justice D-EI is making it as hard as possible for other DEI judges to ever get confirmed.
What were the Black Codes? They were post-Civil-War state laws enacted by the defeated Confederacy in spite. They were almost immediately declared unconstitutional.The Black Codes were a series of racially discriminatory laws enacted by Southern states immediately after the Civil War (primarily in 1865--1866) to restrict the rights and freedoms of newly emancipated African Americans (freedmen) and maintain white supremacy, often as a continuation of pre-war slave codes. These laws frequently included provisions that severely restricted or outright prohibited Black people from owning, possessing, or carrying firearms (and often other weapons like Bowie knives or dirks). The intent was to disarm freed Black individuals, leaving them vulnerable to violence from white supremacists, including groups like the Ku Klux Klan, while preventing any potential armed resistance or self-defense against oppression. Key examples from prominent Black Codes include: Mississippi Black Codes (1865) -- One of the earliest and most explicit. In "An Act to punish certain offenses therein named, and for other purposes" (often part of the Penal Code section), it stated: No freedman, free negro or mulatto, not in the military service of the United States government, and not licensed so to do by the board of police of his or her county, shall keep or carry fire-arms of any kind, or any ammunition, dirk or bowie knife... Violations resulted in fines (up to $10), costs, forfeiture of the weapons/ammunition, and potential arrest by any civil or military officer. A license from a local police board was required, which was discretionary and rarely granted to Black individuals. Whites faced no such requirement. South Carolina Black Codes (1865) -- Similar restrictions applied, stating that persons of color could not keep a firearm, sword, or other military weapon without written permission from a district judge or magistrate. Louisiana (1865) -- Laws required consent before bringing firearms onto another's property, explicitly aimed at freedmen to disarm them. Other Southern states adopted comparable measures, often requiring licenses (discretionary and biased against Black applicants) or imposing total bans on Black firearm possession unless in military service. These were not race-neutral; contemporary accounts and later analyses confirm they targeted freed Black people to prevent self-defense and enable terrorization.These disarmament provisions were short-lived in their original form -- many Black Codes were repealed or overridden by Reconstruction-era federal actions, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Freedmen's Bureau Act, and the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified 186Justice D E-I needed some kind of precedent to "prove" her argument that the Constitution allows governments to strip citizens of their right to bear arms as it pleases. She wants to uphold a Hawaiian law that strips citizens of their Second Amendment rights. So this genius decided to cite the Black Codes as good law which should control in gun control cases. Specifically, the Bruen ruling says that we should look at the history and tradition of the Second Amendment in the US to determine if a new gun control law is constitutional. She decides that the Black Codes are part of that tradition -- even though they were ruled unconstitutional days after they were passed. She says they were on the books for a couple of weeks (before being repealed or ruled unconstitutional), so why shouldn't we take them as good constitutional law? After all, this MacArthur Genius Grant candidate reasons, they were only ruled unconstitutional later, after they were passed. Note to Justice D E-I: All laws ruled unconstituional are so ruled later, after they're passed. You can't rule on a law before it's passed. Not only is that nonsensical Because of How Time Works, but the Supreme Court actually forbids what it calls "advisory opinions," or opinions of the Court about whether a law would be constitutional, if it were passed.

Because, it argued, the Braun test, historical precedent in existence at the time of the Founding, is unworkable--according to several judges who are writing opinions trying to reverse Braun.
The argument is, if I can understand it, is that we just can't know what laws are the laws we're supposed to rely upon as parallels.
Basically, deliberately confusing the issue since there were so few restrictions--but we must have restrictions!
And Stupid Jackson is, poorly, trying to echo that, she's citing these laws, trying to make is seem like the historical laws that Braun referred to, can and must include ... laws passed decades to centuries later!

Her basic premise is off - once something is ruled unconstitutional it is considered unconstitutional for all time, including the time when it was considered constitutional. It is fully retroactive. A judge would never, ever say "well it once was unconstitutional, now it isn't." Nope once ruled constitutional, always unconstitutional. That is how the law works. Unless that ruling is overturned, there is nothing to discuss.

Which is the reason that Parliament quit doing it. Back when Parliament was fighting kings, it allowed an avenue to attack the king via his ministers without being able to charged with treason (see Earl of Buckingham for example). When UK kings receded in power, during the 1700's, it became a useless thing for Parliament to do.
Under a party system, the Democrats will never vote to impeach and convict a Dem and only a few famous 'principled' types like Cassidy, Romney, or Murcow would cross the aisle to do it to a GOP president. Just to make it bipartisan reach arounding.

Used strategically, impeachment is like a supercharged investigation vehicle (due to Scotus precedents) of the executive branch. Like how Parliament originally used the impeachment, it is best directed at government ministers and judges rather than Presidents or VPs.
But Congress nowadays is probably unable to function legislatively except when absolutely required like some sort of continuing resolution on spending and some rare oddball bipartisan bills.
It has taken itself out of the game intentionally so as to better feed their grift.

The Court as an institution is embarrassed? It's not really that respectable an institution.

They cite to the pointed questions of ACB and Kavanaugh along the lines of "what comes next if we [over rule it]?"
And the horror of horrors was that ... future Presidents could fire the entire Fed and appoint their own.
Well, that's pretty weak.
1) Rulings should not be forward-looking. And I don't think there's any opinions from those two that say, "we don't think this is Constitutional but we're going to have to leave it 'cause it'll cause problems."
2) That doesn't address the Constitutional issue, that the Fed's "independence" has no place under our Constitutional order of each branch having political accountability.
3) If I want to wishcast, it's those two are probing the future dissent argument, that those, exposing that future concerns are not a basis for finding constitutionalality.

We are not the same people nor culture that created the Constitution and using Scotus and the judiciary as a continuing Constitutional Convention was a horrible idea.
My sad conclusion is that sooner or later the system will fail and we will get some sort of despot, king, or worse, a corrupt aristocracy that sells out the country to the point where the system ends in catastrophe or tear itself apart in a civil war.
There will be some sort of America with people in it but what that will look like depends on just exactly how the Republic fails.
But we fight today regardless as Trump is on the side of angels in this fight, not the Democrats in service to Stan.

Anything about the Fed is obiter dictum. Basically when allowing firings at the NLRB or other bodies, the Court, by rejecting the injunctions already indicate that the executive is likely to prevail for the injunctions to be dissolved.
Retaining the injunction preventing Cook (or Powell if it comes to it) from being removed for cause means simply that the district court has to develop a fact pattern at trial as to what is cause. That requires a judicial opinion as to what statutory language 'cause' means (which the higher court has no requirement to follow) in the Federal Reserve Act, etc.

They show up Tuesday morning, have a couple of meetings, maybe a vote if they're really pushing it, go out to a couple of fundraisers and then fly home Thursday afternoon (at no expense to themselves, of course).

Senate floor has not been a thing since the 1930's. Even earlier for any real debate prior to 1920's.
Senators (or House members, I worked on that side during Reagan years) do not 'work' for the salary--they work for grifting family wealth by parlaying their connections (as do many of the staff) into the blob that is the DC establishment of NGOs, boards, corporate positions, lobbying, etc.
The ones wanting to work end up often just going back home to be governor, AG, etc. Even there, staffs run the place day to day.

I think any Democrat president in the future is simply going to expand on what Biden did on student loans. I don't think Scotus judges, aside from maybe Alito or Thomas, actually know what time it is for the American Republic.
We will have a massive constitutional crisis coming soon, and the Gordian knot is likely to be cut, perhaps in a way we like, perhaps not.
But the old uniparty status quo is simply failing in the US and across the West where the elites believe that they have the right to rule over the masses regardless of what institutions interfere with that. We shall see what the masses do in response. Tears and blood might very well be involved.

1. Who says it's delayed?
2. It's probably a highly technical opinion about tariff authority under different sections that got narrower and narrower as they debated it.
3. It'll probably end up as "Trump has the authority to do it in general, but the lower courts didn't take the individual tariffs on merits, choosing to use a blanket ban instead. Lower courts, redo your ruling based on actual analysis of each proclamation and tariff."
And then Trump will just reimpose every tariff under a different authority, and it won't matter.

So, we'll get a headline about how SCOTUS rules against Trump. It won't actually be a ruling against Trump, but people will freak out anyway.
And the tariffs will remain under the authority he's already cited or another authority.

There were in fact 2 very different KKK's, although the mythology around them doesn't allow the topic to be discussed. The first was made up of disgruntled and unrepentant Confederates, but it was mostly stamped out by the end of Grant's term in office, and it went dormant for 3 decades. The 2nd iteration was the activist version of the Democrat Party, just like Antifa is now, and it really took WW2 and the mobilization to start it being seen as un-American.

The Confederacy was never recognized as a separate country by the US or any other country, thus not 'outside the Union'. Northern leaders such as Lincoln and Grant considered them simply states in rebellion. Maybe not in the hearts and minds of the people living there, but the states in rebellion were technically still US states.

There is also the standing issue. In many of the cases of levied tariffs, the other nation and the US came to agreement which makes it difficult for individuals or companies suing to assert standing as international agreements are a separation of powers issue especially when Congress authorizes it vaguely.
This is a very complicated case involving tariffs, presidential powers, delegation, standing, and remedies. Might not get a decision until June at this rate. The longer it goes, the more likely Trump gets a decision he can live with.

Student loans were turbofucked by Obama as part of his first wave of "fuck shit up illegally in ways nobody can ever fix" in 2009. It'a not really a Biden move, specifically.
The biggest issue is counting foreign invaders in the census and giving their kids citizenship, as well as enabling their invasion and refusing to deport them when they get all rapey/murdery. That's not just a constitutional crisis, that's a straight shot to ethnic cleansing and genocide. I have close family friends murdered recently by these invader fucksticks, and friends dead in fed witch hunts, and this shit is getting old.
If it pops off - remember if everyone sweeps their own porch, the whole world will be clean.

I accidentally stumbled into a klan rally in the swamps in mississippi in 79 when we were heading out to gig frogs one saturday night. We went way back into a part of the swamp where we would get a ton of frogs and crawdads. When we drove up the last part of the road we came upon dozens of cars and trucks and a fiery burning cross in the middle of the road. I pulled a starsky and hutch turn and got the heck out of dodge. We never went back there.

Ok that's amazing because the same thing happened to me and a friend in Central Texas, way out in the country about 30 miles away from Waco, in 1980. Well we just found this parking lot down a long dirt road full of new cars with nobody there, and it was about midnight, and first we were going Huh? but then we saw these Q-beam lights flashing through the trees and sound of a number of people headed through woods in our direction.
We didn't wait around to ask who they were, we got the hell outta there!

Slick Bitch Gavin Newsom Has His Davos Speech Cancelled; Whines That Trump Did It
Scott Bessent Cooks Gavin Newsom As Communist Patrick Bateman
Some clips from Davos. Trump cooks the elites, of course.
Gavin Newsom was informed at the 11th hour that his talk with Fortune at USA House in Davos was canceled. Newsom had been invited to speak on Wednesday at an event sponsored by USA House, which for the first time was recognized by the U.S. government as the country's official headquarters at Davos. But an organizer told his office that they had opted to not include any U.S. officials in the talk focused on CEOs and other business leaders. In a private exchange of messages obtained by POLITICO, a Newsom administration official accused the USA House of bowing to political pressure from the State Department -- an accusation the organizer denied, while emphasizing the governor was still welcome in the venue -- in a microcosm of the larger geopolitical tensions on display.

I rewatched The Batman last weekend.
The central plot is about the Riddler exacting justice on the elite of Gotham because they took a billion dollar fund that Thomas Wayne had set up and used it to enrich themselves.
After the uprooting of USAID, I see it more clearly. The expanded spending. The lack of progress and even the drawback of standards of living.
I'm sure Matt Reeves would place the blame on Republicans squarely because Hollywood, but it's still just this cri de coeur about how government became a piggy bank for the connected over the past few decades.
Because the old world order ossified and corrupted to the point where there was no downside to just stealing outright.

>>> "I signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We’re going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers, but you’ve got to get the people off the streets.”
I will say this...while asylums are needed, they NEED to be heavily monitored and free of corruption.
I mentioned in a book thread a few weeks ago "The Woman they Could Not Silence." Back in the Civil War era, if you were a man, you could get your wife locked away in an asylum for anything. Even just thinking too much. Elizabeth Packard was committed to an asylum by her husband for disagreeing with him on religion and politics. (He was all fire and brimstone, she believed in a more loving God. And he flip flopped to be pro slavery to appeal to rich patrons financing his church, and she was adamantly anti-slavery. Her views caused embarrassment to him in front of his flock, so he got a crooked doctor and a sham trial to get her thrown into an asylum.) Chilling read.
There is corruption and abuse in the mental health and incarceration system already. How do you protect the most vulnerable people who NEED help, when the system is rotten?

Democrats deflecting to affordability and then choosing Gavin Newsom, who has colluded with utilities companies in California to fuck up affordability, repeatedly vetoing legislation that would put them in check, and legislation that would protect trans people as well? Fuck that.
He's an amorphous blob that tries to appease whoever is in front of him. This guy stands for nothing.
He won’t even win the primary. It’s hilarious the Right hates him so much, he’s way closer to a Republican than anything progressive. Both sides don’t like him, but the Dem establishment is shoving him down our throats
He is made of the same stuff Trump is. He just has tighter impulse control. He's not the guy to run the US.
Fuck Newsome. He's centre right, hates the homeless and trans people, and loves the rich and won't tax billionaires. I'll vote for him only if he's literally the only non-explixitly-fascist option

It really is funny to imagine how he and his advisors are plotting to win the primary against Kamala, who is polling even or slightly ahead of him right now. He also must be running around to every MSM outlet, reporter, etc trying to protect himself from the fate of Tim Walz.

Kamala wins like 95% of the polls of the Democrat primary she's included in.
She is the front runner, and she keeps signalling that she's going to run. She started a new super PAC for that purpose a couple of weeks ago.
That people assume she's simply...not going to run, his just...stupidity. It's also hopeful delusion, but mostly stupidity.

This is a prime example - perhaps *the* prime example, in the past century at least - of shooting the messenger.
Trump did no such thing. The Postwar Order had already failed and was in the process of collapsing. It started to crack up when the USSR fell and accelerated hard after 9/11 and the financial crisis. The COVID response was a massive shift out of the "traditional" Postwar Order and Biden's treatment of Russia following the invasion of Ukraine was uncharted territory on the trade/finance side of things.
*Trump* didn't dismantle the old order. The old order fucking collapsed on all on it's own through entropy, apathy, mismanagement, fraud and shifting priorities.
What Trump *did* do was be the first guy to loudly and bluntly say, "this shit is over and we need to figure out what comes next." Trump's policies didn't cause a collapse of the old order, they are a *response* to the old order collapsing.

It really all depends on what the DNC and the big donors want. If Newsom can't handle what I HOPE is coming -- scandals bigger than those that got Walz to drop out -- then he might be thrown out in favor of Shapiro or, heck, Buttigieg! Buttigieg is also slick as hell.

They aren't at zero. Just very, very small.
What he is talking about has a name, and that name is empire. No "customs union" or "alliance" or whatever is going to get a large number of states to work toward a common goal in opposition to a large state. There are too many deals to be made and too much benefit to breaking the pact.
What he's describing *does* happen - in the form of the strongest of the "middle powers" conquering their neighbors and then either joining up or conquering each other. At the other end of that, you have a major empire and a great power. The king is dead, long live the king and whatnot.

Sure, she polls well now due to name recognition and the fact she's a brown woman, but she'll crater quickly. You have to be pretty special to successfully bounce back from a presidential loss...Trump is special, Kamala is not.
More hilarious will be the oppression calculations. Many are convinced "Amerikka" is too evil to elect a woman or brown person, so another white male? Another half of their electorate won't stand for that. And the wedge issues of trannies, Israel...it's going to be beautiful.

It's amazing how predicting early polls are of the Democrat primary years out.
Name recognition mostly wins presidential primaries. Joe Biden was a fucking embarrassment for decades until Obama's aura gave him name recognition and made him black adjacent.

You could tell the powers that be were warming things up for him when they tried to imply that he was very respected in Japan when serving as ambassador. In truth, they hated him for discarding some of the traditions of that country and had a valid reputation as a prick. The Atlantic has already done a piece on his coming run. And despite having no real reason, he keeps popping up on CNN to counter the current administration.

I think the Danish are being overrun by Islam like everywhere else in Europe? So they will either have a Caliphate running it in a few decades, working with Russia and China, or those countries will just take it.
The same countries in the EU that refuse to see that Greenland is vulnerable, are also the ones shocked when Russia invaded Ukraine, after nabbing Crimea without so much as a whimper from Obama and the EU. Unimaginative lemmings with hollow chests.

I don't know how anyone can see the last three Democrat primaries as evidence that the DNC can easily rig their primary.
They barely did it in 2016 when it was just Hillary and that cook from VT. Their effort to rig it created a superstar in Bernie that they had to cheat out of a win.
And then...in 2020...anyone saying that whole thing was planned for Biden insane.
Now, if you're going to say that the primary will just be canceled and someone selected, we can discuss that. But that's not what you seem to be saying.

I suspect, admittedly without evidence, that Trump is aware that NATO is, at best, counter to the US national interest. He cannot, however, unilaterally withdraw us and Congress would never go along. So he tries to give Europe requirements - ones spelled out in the treaty - in the hopes that they will refuse and we can leave.
Vance seems even more anti-NATO.

"Children in designated areas are subject to mandatory daycare for 25–30 hours per week starting at age 1, where they are immersed in “Danish values” such as gender equality and Christian traditions, with no parental accompaniment allowed. This measure does not apply to ethnic Danish families, who retain the right to choose childcare freely, highlighting a two-tier system.
Legal and social integration requirements are also strict. Non-EU immigrants, especially refugees, must sign individual integration contracts requiring Danish language acquisition, employment, and cultural education. Failure to comply can result in loss of benefits or denial of permanent residency. "

I get that it's done in fun. (I hope??) But I've thoroughly researched this topic and time period, from the lens of being a pro-man, conservative leaning, pro-life first wave feminist. And we do NOT want to go back to the oppressive eras of the past when women had no rights, before they could vote. It was horrifying and brutal. Truly.
There is positive space that exists between AWFLS taking away men's rights, and repealing the 19th and locking up mouthy women in insane asylums. But with the divide between men and women growing, I don't know it heals.

Non ideologues have outcome preferences, not policies. Ideologues have policy preferences but often no outcome preference in that they are often indifferent to adjusting policy to outcomes.
The masses are slow in coming to public judgment but once there, the elites and policy types are frustrated because the masses become immovable on some policies like not wanting Social Security changed or disdaining the Green Nude Eel and EV flambes.
Classic examples in the past, the Vietnam War, massive tax hikes, gas rationing or massive price hikes, inflation under Biden and Carter, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and so on.

When he was ditching CA for TX, Gary from Nerdrotic had an opening video for Friday Night Tights where Newsom was Patrick Bateman, and he was chasing down Gary and his FNT Scooby Gang to prevent them from leaving CA. Had clips from American Psycho with Newsome's face spliced in. It was hilarious and eerily perfect. Video was by Pierry Chan.

Yes, somehow these lefties don't realize that this is very appealing to many people. Meanwhile in other threads the same people complain they don't have enough money, high prestige jobs, and nice places to live and its all other people's fault they don't!

Political socialization. Family is the first influence but friends and social group id influences it after adulthood. Ironically, the most politically knowledgeable are the ones most likely to defect from one party to another based on specific policies and issues. So you get someone like David Horowitz raised as a pink diaper baby and early leftist activist becoming hard right.
Some defect for money and fame, often GOPe types--can anyone provide a principled argument like Bill Weld running as Libertarian VP? Snarlin Arlen Spector? Etc.

Seriously?
Firs off, Hillary's selection in 2016 was a buy off for her to drop the challenge on the Selected Obama previously. Hell, they even played around with the caucus for Obama.
Hillary's problems in 2016 stem from her being absolutely unlikable by everyone. Without the way being paved for her (and Sanders being bought off) she wouldn't have done as well as she did.
Biden in 2020...got schelacked in Iowa, and beat in NH to the extent that he didn't even show up for the primary. Instead he ran to his savior down in South Carolina (Clyburn) who paved the way in that state and all the big states. Clyburn is one of the kingmakers .

Biden won literally all but one SC primary poll for more than a year before the SC primary.
Clyburn has no power at all. It's a fiction.
The lesson of 2020 is that IA and NH are too white to reflect the actual will of the Democrat electorate.

Barely.
10 years ago, they barely managed it, when the DNC was far more powerful. The DNC actually gave up some of its power after 2016 because the cheating was so bad (super delegates don't get to make free votes until the second ballot at convention now).
All they managed was to create a superstar out of Bernie that's been a thorn in their side ever since.

The irony now is that Democrats desperately want that on their side. They want their own Trump to take out the establishment that they see as sell-outs.
Except that the establishment uses the language of the activist base and an outsider who could shake things up on important issues, like immigration, would get destroyed by the very activist base that wants an outsider.
If Bernie ran now and said that Trump was right about immigration, you know, his 2016 stance, the left would turn on him.

As a practical matter, Republican voters wanted certain things done.
The GOPe kept refusing to do them.
The fact the voters switched to someone else that would do them isn't just obvious it is the way the system is supposed to work - politicians are supposed to be afraid of losing their positions if they don't do what their voters want...

Trump has it dead right - The USA by necessity needs to wash its hands of the Europe where it can and then use those resources to solidify control over the western hemisphere's energy supplies and strategic geographic resources.
It isn't that USA is suddenly unreliable. Rather this is the USA accepting that Europe is headed into a prolonged cultural, economic, and strategic decline rendering it an increasingly inept and incapable ally.
All Trump is doing is accepting this reality and doing everything possible to secure the long term future of the USA as an ongoing superpower. This is not optional because the Chicoms prime objective is the ensure USA fails at this. And odds on, when it gets rough, Europe won't be around to help.

Considering the amount of voter fraud, those margins might have been wider. With any luck, we'll have some types of voter fraud closed off by 2028 and we'll have a more realistic election, i.e., one in which maybe half the country votes.

Trump can to prominence by agreeing to do the things that right leaning voters wanted. Since the GOPe wasn't doing that he was able to supplant them.
Now, many D voters would also claim their party isn't doing what they want but...would have trouble explaining what that might be.
Because the left follows the narrative that comes out of the D party anyway. So they just say they want want the people that control the D party say they want.

Crowder has been running old clips of OBAMA saying the same thing Trump is now on immigration. He used rampant immigration (I think he quoted 5 million illegals came in) as a cudgel to say that Dubya the Bushitler and the republicans were exploiting brown people, due to crony greed. So we should vote for him to plug the hole and fix it.
Cut to Biden's time as POTUS...20–30 million illegals flowed over the border, most likely. And the democrats were all on board with the brown people coming here to be exploited, due to crony greed.
The left SHOULD turn on Obama and they won't. Luckily he's waning in influence and power.

I don't think so honestly.
If the FNM says we need welfare for "refugees" then D voters will just repeat it even if in theory it it taking money from them.
Sure, one could imagine a new President Newsom deciding to stop welfare for illegals and D voters doing a 180 but only if the FNM and D party both established a new narrative. No outsider left, right , or center would win substantial D votes running on this without official D approval

If you told Democrats ten years ago that they'd believe the things they believe today (e.g., genital mutilation of confused children, men in women's sports, men in women's bathrooms), they would have said NO EFFIN WAY, THAT'S CRAZY YOU LYING POS! Yet look where they are today. Now imagine the things they'll believe in ten years that they would firmly deny as not possible today.

We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors.
We're not saying we had teams comprised of HUNDREDS of off-duty cops and veterans volunteer to run decoy operations so far-left activists THOUGHT they were conducting ICE raids.
We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors.
What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen.... it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping support the capture of HUNDREDS of criminals.

It doesn't get them more votes. It isn't some core thing they believe in because the normal pattern is they've said the exact opposite repeatedly in the past.
Either favors/threats are being called in or some percentage of R office holders regularly flake out and make what are obvious mistakes in their own voting patterns on a regular basis. You don't get to be a Senator by not understanding politics or making a bunch of political mistakes.

Bill and Hillary Clinton: We Won't Testify, But If One Single Congessman Comes to NY, Bill Alone Will Sit For Some Questions, as Long as There Is No Recording and No Transcript
Comer rejected the "counter-offer."
Apparently decrepit alcoholic lesbian Hillary Clinton really doesn't want to be asked about her visits to Pedo Island."Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons' lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only," Comer revealed in a post on X. The conditions only got worse from there. "No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected the Clintons' ridiculous offer." Comer added, "The Clintons' latest demands make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment." Comer pointed out that the subpoenas came from a bipartisan House Oversight Committee and required sworn, transcribed depositions, and an informal, off-the-record chat fails to meet even the lowest standard of oversight. "Former President Clinton has a documented history of parsing language to evade questions, responded falsely under oath, and was impeached and suspended from the practice of law as a result," Comer said.The Committee will now hold hearings on whether or not to refer the Clintons to the DOJ for prosecution. I sure hope it's a short hearing. Hello! And welcome to the mid-week!
... "The absence of an official transcript is an indefensible demand that is insulting to the American people who demand answers about Epstein's crimes," he said. ... Of course, Hillary Clinton also remains squarely in the committee's sights. Comer laid out why her testimony matters and why a closed-door, casual conversation fails to satisfy the committee's responsibility. "Former Secretary Clinton's on-the-record testimony is necessary for the Committee's investigation given her knowledge from her time as Secretary of State of the federal government's work to counter international sex-tracking rings, her personal knowledge of Ms. Maxwell, and her family's relationship with Mr. Epstein," he said.

Me, too. The Clintons are never going to see stainless steel bracelets or a perp walk regardless of what is "referred" or whatever, so I hope they don't waste too much time on it.
Or, wait a moment. No. I don't mean that. This is *congress* we're talking about. The less those people do, the better. I hope they spend weeks on it. Months if they can get away with it.

He will answer for what he has done as will Hillary, probably before the meetings on setting up the meetings are over. Because I care more about Omar and her fraud than this.

They really do want the “system” to work, they want their representatives to do what they are paid to do, instead of the opposite, they don’t want to acknowledge that perhaps most of the things they were taught and believed were complete nonsense. The “political class” and the “media” have no idea what they are doing, playing with fire. History is very clear on this, but I guess hope springs eternal.

Epstein was only and always an online exclusive obsession.
No material constituency voted on it.
It was, at best, supporting evidence one way or another for people already having made up their mind about particular politicians.
Elected officials obsessing over online exclusive obsessions just creates noise that most people filter out.

Yes, I know they prohibit it.
But it’s probably the softest target on earth.
I know of at least five other people in my ward that carry. I’m assuming there are others as well.
Be prepared to protect the flock, even though you’ll likely never need to.

This is the policy in the General Handbook:
Firearms and other lethal weapons are not allowed on Church property. This includes concealed weapons. This does not apply to current law enforcement officers.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom at the World Economic Forum in Davos, calling him "economically illiterate" and comparing him to "Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken." Bessent claimed Newsom "may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris" and accused him of being out of touch while "hobnobbing with the global elite" amid California's ongoing homelessness and budget challenges.
Bessent also mocked Newsom’s social media suggestion that California could withhold federal tax payments in response to potential funding cuts, calling it a "reckless" threat of criminal tax evasion. He stated, “Governor @GavinNewsom is threatening to commit criminal tax evasion. His plan: defraud the American taxpayer and leave California residents on the hook for unpaid federal taxes.”

What I’m about to say is totally against the church handbook, but you should absolutely conceal carry to church.
Yes, I know they prohibit it.
But it’s probably the softest target on earth.
I know of at least five other people in my ward that carry. I’m assuming there are others as well.
Be prepared to protect the flock, even though you’ll likely never need to.

Different committees Piper. Comer is chair of House Oversight, Omar goes to Ethics Committee for investigation, not Oversight. Covid would normally be an issue in Health Committees.
And that also does not take into account Senate Commitees.
So it is not an all or nothing sort of deal. Given Congress is doing an imitation of King Log under GOP leadership and struggling to pass spending bills for the rest of government for FY 2026 (Mainly a Senate issue, not House), the House committees might as well blow up the Dems equation of Trump with the Epstein bill by dragging Bill and Hill before the House committees and making the Dems eat a shit sandwich.

The rest went poof. So Illinois courts are going to take a loss because when the money ain't there, the pensions are not going to be paid. And Pritzker is busy wrecking the Illinois economy for illegals and other wasteful spending in the process. Illinois and Chicago pension funds are 9 out of 15 of the least funded pension funds in the US. Average about 40 cents on the dollar. Illinois when you take all of the pension liabilities and aggregate them, has about 52 percent funding of its pension promises to state and local workers. 51st of all states plus DC.
Posted by: whig at January 21, 2026 12:14 PM (E4rtv)

Well, as I noted elsewhere - the Illinois Constitution says they must be paid, and so they will be paid before everyone else, in full, until someone has the balls to change it. The first step will be a State Supreme Court Justice ordering a 50% increase in the state sales and income tax.
They will be paid first, because to not do so is unconstitutional in the state.

You don't get privilege for actions after the presidency. You are a common citizen.
Most of the Epstein visits involved a post Clinton presidency and his Global Foundation fundraising and actions.
Haven't seen as it raised yet as an issue whether Trump removes presidential privilege for testimony over Clinton's term in office as only the current president may justify privilege for a past one (new precedents from Jan 6).

I think most of this mercenary transactionism was always there. Social media has just made it so acceptable now that it's actually something that's flaunted. "Hell yea, I want upfront payment from men before I go on a date! That's how much I'm worth. They're all pigs anyway!"
The public airing of dirty laundry that was once swept under the rug has a vicious-circle aspect, bringing everyone down. Young men and boys see this and think "damn, all women are whores," and start treating them that way. Young ladies and girls react to this by thinking men are pigs, and only useful for extracting money from. And it spirals down from there.

He had no restraints whatsoever as governor or before. Rumor widespread in Arkansas was that he was sterile as a result of a bad case of mumps.

He had no restraints whatsoever as governor or before. Rumor widespread in Arkansas was that he was sterile as a result of a bad case of mumps. Clinton liked to screw married woman as governor due to less blowback potential but he was not averse to trying to screw any woman by any means by the time of Paula Jones. And including hitting on high school kids at official functions.
When my girls were younger (about 16), one of mine and her best friend had a Gold Award ceremony (the girl's Eagle). They were presented with a flag by one of our politicians, one whose name you'd know if you were from this area. The friend was very busty, and after the ceremony, she and my daughter were discussing how he spent the entire time he was conversing with her staring at her chest.
I have no patience for creeps, no matter how exalted their title.

Twas an op. And to some extent, many of those pushing that were after Israel because they blamed Mossad for it. Personally, I think Epstein was likely more to be a money launderer as hedge fund manager for intel agencies and Ghislaine's father was an MI-6 agent of influence (became friends with Breznev to the dismay of KGB). Plus British security services keep the Royal Family surveilled and managed for the sovereign to keep problems from happening.
So MI-5 and 6 knew about Epstein, perhaps employed him as an agent, and yet felt it okay to let Andrew screw underage types.
Undoubtedly reports went to the Queen about it.

Kallisto,
Clinton probably did worse as governor. I had two young female HS students that recounted being hit on by Bill at an official state function recognizing high performing students. They were 17. Clinton invited them to come up to his suite at the Excelsior Hotel (same place he showed his dingus to Paula Jones). They didn't but I'd be willing to imagine that some took him up on the offer.
He and Hillary were slimy but Bill was charming as a snake could be normally but turned vicious if challenged. I worked at the time for a Arkansas Congress critter and then off and on for that guy in elections. Got more stories--Billy Jeff went AWOL at a local university and the local head of teh campus democrats, a personal friend, had to deal with Killary's raging to my friend about where Bill was. Bill was getting some from the young college girls that his security deal had procured for him.

The Left and some on the Right demanded the release of the entire Epstein investigation, specifically the mythical list. That lead to the committee investigating any possible government coverup. I would term it political in that 'watch out what you wish for' directed at the Left and legitimate for those really trying to determine if there was a government overup.

Her family was fairly comfortable, her father was an oncologist in Brentwood. But Monica hasn’t made millions. She hasn’t been able to get a normal job. She has never gotten married. Her name carries with it a stigma and every time she tried to do anything, she was accused of capitalizing on her name and the scandal. It’s her stinking name! She is doing a podcast now, maybe? She did design some pretty purses, but she was still ostracized and she has said she felt like she really can’t come out and say much- but she is still a democrat, and she didn’t want to hurt Hilary’s campaign.

Yes, plenty of blame to go around for both of them. I'd love to see Monica come forward with her real story, as Piper described it -- unable to marry, enjoy a career or a public life or a social presence that isn't sharply defined by her episode with Bill -- all because of a serious misjudgment and a turn away from basic morality. That's the podcast she should do, advising young women to be disciplined and focused.

This is such a sticky subject (yes, I said it), because there IS a point at which the person without "power" is harmed by the experience. Not unlike older teens who are banging their teachers, or some 20/30 something who likes 'em young.
Is it a crime? Maybe. Maybe not. But the person who HAS the power is always guilty of exploiting his/her position for sexual gain, and if it's a work relationship, it warrants at least being fired, if not prosecuted.
Clinton should have been removed from office.

Yup. It's a juvenile joke. "304' on an old-fashioned calculator looks like "hoe" when you turn it upside down, and hoe = 'ho = whore.
It made a resurgence because of silent internet censorship on platforms like YouTube. "Hoe" or "Ho" or "Whore" might get your comment suppressed or your videos search-suppressed. "304," though, is just a string of numbers.
Kinda like how "killed" got replaced with "unalived" and "suicide" got replaced with "self-deletion" on YouTube. They are ways of end-running automatic censorship systems.

I will say this...while asylums are needed, they NEED to be heavily monitored and free of corruption.
I mentioned in a book thread a few weeks ago "The Woman they Could Not Silence." Back in the Civil War era, if you were a man, you could get your wife locked away in an asylum for anything. Even just thinking too much. Elizabeth Packard was committed to an asylum by her husband for disagreeing with him on religion and politics. (He was all fire and brimstone, and she believed in a more loving God. And he flip flopped to be pro slavery to appeal to rich patrons financing his church, and she was adamantly anti-slavery. Her views caused embarrassment to him in front of his flock, so he got a crooked doctor and a sham trial to get her thrown into an asylum.)
There is corruption and abuse in the mental health and incarceration system already. How do you protect the most vulnerable people in asylums when the system is corrupt?

I don't think anything Bill did with Monica was illegal. She was of consenting age and made her choices.
What Bill did, though, should have completely disqualified him from holding any office or position of power at all.
It wasn't just that Bill deliberately targeted an insecure, eager-to-please intern, knowing that such women are easier targets. Unlike Trump, who targeted supermodels and playboy playmates, Bill almost always went after easier game like Monica.
He then lied about it, through his teeth, and exposed himself as completely untrustworthy. He should have been thrown out of office on his ass.

I prefer the story of how Old Joe got to be Ambassador to Great Britain, a post that he wanted BADLY because he hated the Limeys. FDR didn't want to give him the post, but because of Joe's previous support and money, he had to at least interview him for the position.
So in the middle of the meeting with Joe, FDR and FDR's son James, FDR tells Joe to stand up and drop trou. Confused, Joe obeys and drops his pants. FDR starts laughing, pointing at Joe saying "SEE? SEE? I TOLD YOU IT WAS TRUE!" FDR explained that they had a mutual friend who had been swimming with Joe and the kids, and he'd observed that Joe was the most bow-legged man he'd ever seen.
FDR explained that if he sent Joe to the King in period dress, complete with leggings, he'd be the laughing stock of the world. Joe responded (pissed) that if he could talk the Brits into allowing him to present himself in modern diplomatic wear (striped pants, tails, top hat), could he have the position. FDR agreed thinking that Joe couldn't

Lincoln provoked that one. Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, etc. were hesitating to join the Deep Southern states in seceding but Lincoln demanded that these states provide their state militias to invade those states wanting to leave.
That broke the logjam (and broke Virginia in half eventually).
Lincoln has a pretty big share of the blame for the bloody civil war along with the fireeaters. Inexperienced politically isolated president overwhelmed by the office is my assessment.
He grew into the office but once the fighting started, it was impossible to stop. Wars are easy to get into but hard to get out of.

Of course, Joe turned out to be a shitty ambassador, with lots of family drama because his son Jack was screwing every British bird in London (including what turned out to be a Nazi double-agent), and had to join the Navy to get out of Great Britain but that's another story.

It was so shocking because older men of authority with younger women never happened before.
It's something that's not done. Ever.

Only one was the most powerful member of the executive branch. The other was an intern. I sat thru those "sexual harassment" videos of the day--what Clinton did was a textbook example of sexual harassment.

Bill, not so much. Actually, imo, not at all.
Blame them both, but, the punishment has not been equal.

But for a 24 year old (which I believe is how old Monica was) it’s well past the “age of innocence”. I mean you can be a congresscritter at 25. Let’s stop infantalizing adults like this.

And yet society seems comfortable with schools protecting female predators in K-12 education and I suspect if you had a female president with a 21 year old male intern, that suddenly it would be okay.
Most bullshit about the sexes are lies we tell ourselves to justify what we think.
My argument is that such societal and legal rules should be open, public, stipulated and enforced equally. If a 30 year old female teacher seduces a 16 year old, then she goes to the chokey for the same length of time just the same as a 30 male mechanic goes after a 16 year old Lolita.
And I also think any female or male sexing up their boss also gets the boot along with the boss. If they want to hanky panky, one or both of them can damn well leave the company before starting it.

Picture what that must have been like for them, reviewing every single scrap in the investigative file for required redactions -- from gold to dross, including every "tip" submitted by egomaniacal drunkards and fixated schizos. Maybe it was just opportunistic, but someone managed to turn the Epstein meme into concrete action that kept the DOJ occupied and out of their hair.

You really do not know what Hillary is like. There is a reason she had to go to NY to get elected. People in Arkansas hated Hillary and she hated them in return.
Yelling, screaming, throwing shit, drunkard, and more. She was the reason that Bill's former protector as governor (a female) did not go to Washington as Chief of Staff (Betsy Wright). Betsy was the closest thing that Bill had to a moral compass.

Thomas Reeves "A Question of Character" JFK biography has a great story about his dad Joe playing tennis with a very young woman, bringing her home to a women's party Rose was throwing, then going upstairs and going at it so hard the ceiling shook while the ladies sipped tea below and pretended not to notice.

I meant in public perception of the villain/victim and the ability to be allowed to live without the stigma till death.
She was punished. He was not. Even now, even here, she bares the entire blame.

The issue should be about what he factually did do:
1. 72Hrs of phone sex while on duty much of which occurred on AF1, and continued even after he knew the Russians had intercepted it.
2. Disgrace His office and Betray us all -- the First Elected President neither President Nor Leader of a Free World
3. Vandalize the Whitehouse on his exit, doorknobs, typerwiters, phone lines
4. The Clinton Global Catastrophe
5. Open the door to a Glasnost to Terror the likes of which the world has never seen.
Remember who did this:
"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists and other potential adversaries around the world that they can change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season on Americans." -- Bill Clinton '93 just before he pulled out of Somalia.
To abandon this area now -- and to rely only on efforts against alQaeda from a distance -- would significantly hamper our ability to keep the pressure on al Qaeda, and create an UNACCEPTABLE RISK -- OBAMA'09
what is the vital national interest? -- IceKingJOE who enabled precisely that!

“Iran is the only country in the world that has now had six elections since the first election of President Khatami (in 1997). (It is) the only one with elections,
including the United States, including Israel, including you name it, where the liberals, or the progressives, have won two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote in six elections: Two for president; two for the Parliament, the Majlis; two for the mayoralties. In every single election, the guys I identify with got two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote. There is no other country in the world I can say that about, certainly not my own.” -- Bill Clinton'05
Palestinians elected Hamas because they promised to make the buses run on time -- Bill Clinton'06
it would be wrong to cut off contact with the terror group just because they may have killed people "in a way that we hate." -- Bill Clinton'06
I tried to represent a better America when I was president. But now I don't have to... -- Bill Clinton'06
And all ^THAT^ at a time when Epstein's Island came to HIM.
