#OscarsSoWoke
Before that: Actor Jerry O'Connell said his wife and daughters became physically violent when he said that the Democrats should have had a primary rather than coronate sure-loser Kamala Harris.
He wasn't even saying he supported Trump. He was a bitter Democrat angry that the party had shot itself in the foot. And for this, his wife and daughters began cursing him and became physical.The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@VigilantFox Jerry O'Connell reveals his liberal daughters were "filled with RAGE" and "became PHYSICAL" with him when he criticized Kamala Harris as a candidate. O'CONNELL: "If I say this, will I stay married? Blow it over here." MAHER: "Sounds like you're going to blow it over here." O'CONNELL: "The night of the [2024] election... I was watching late at night, the returns, and I'll be honest with you, I didn't think Trump was going to win. I live in California. I didn't think he was going to win from what I was hearing." "I said something along the lines of, like, 'There was no planning.' 'This is what they get.' 'There should have been a primary.'" "I said something along those lines. I was just spitballing ideas as to--it was a shock, you know?" "My wife and daughters, without saying anything, became physical with me. They were filled with rage." "So if I am being careful with you in how I say things... I live with not one, not two, but three people who, if I made any kind of joke, they'd become very angry with me, you know?" Once O'Connell said this, Maher saw a man who had completely lost control of his household. He bluntly told him that living in fear of your own family's reactions is no way to live: "I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but I couldn't live that way... I say what I truly think. And if it makes you angry, I'm sorry, we'll have to work that out." "I am not going to tuck my tail between my legs and just shut the f*ck up."

So much woke. Jane Fonda talking to the ultragay "reporter" who asks nothing but political questions and about how gay movies are. It's worth remembering that the Oscars are literally the DEI Oscars, as any film nominated for an award must satisfy a laundry list of DEI requirements.

There is some discussion about what, exactly he meant there. I mean, the audience almost certainly took that to mean "Trump" but you can throw a rock over your shoulder and hit a pedo in the Oscars crowd so... hard to say what Conan actually had in mind.

But really, all we hear about these days is how Hollywood is dying, the industry is violently contracting, everyone is out of work, AI is the future and most of the present, while post-production and filming BOTH are leaving California -- and no one even knows the Oscars happened until their feeds are full of women in weird gowns on Monday morning.
It's a goldmine for comedy, and all Conan could do was reach for old, stale material. Robert DeNiro already yelled FVCK TRUMP two administrations and eight Oscars ago.

What is so insane is that this is obviously a very mild comment. He's not even saying that Kamala is an idiot and shouldn't hold any office, which would be a true statement.
Also, what a friggen bubble this idiot lives in. Because his libtard friends in CA thought Kamala was a shoo-in, he thought that was reality?

That's not a distinction I made.
I don't know what other people treasure, what the masses are looking up again after years of being released.
I just know that the Academy has never been about that. Ever. From the beginning, it was about controlling the direction of the industry.
And it made sense when that direction was actually aligned with making money. Now...control of the Oscars is control of...the Oscars. The studios spend much more money on slop for the masses that they don't think will ever win awards. Because the industry has essentially bifurcated in that regard.

Same with podcasters who think they know everything in the Situation Room! Tucker, Carlson, Kelly, and that hideous Fuentes fag.
The woman I argued with on another blog two days ago must be in quite the snit as she's vanished and raking her dirt and leaves and saving bugs. And I was nice as I can debate nice and Southern. It was not like I called her names or got mean.
I reckon she felt she could go against the wind and state her nonsense of the two fuel planes sadly crashing in mid air. Her "sources" said Cent Com is lying and a missile shot the plane down. I said otherwise and that no one knows, but I doubted the Sec of War and our President would lie to us.
She fired back that I was gaslighting (which I will never understand) and needed a mental health check. Lol. Maybe I do, but I'm basically harmless.

Moonlight is the black gay movie in Miami.
Made little money. One of the peaks of Hollywood giving a bauble to the black part of the industry to try and get them to be quiet now.
It keeps not working, though, for some reason. Instead, they had to invite thousands more people into the Academy.

The New Ayatollah is Probably Gay and What Is Even More Disqualifying, He's Also Dead
President Trump was stunned to learn last week that US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay -- and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, The Post can reveal. Trump couldn't contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources. Others in the room also found it "hilarious" and joined the president's reaction, while one senior intelligence official "has not stopped laughing about it for days," said one person familiar with the briefing. The shocking claim was described to The Post by two intelligence community officials and a third person close to the White House. All three sources say the implausible-sounding allegation is viewed as credible by US spy agencies, rather than false information intended to undermine Khamenei, 56, who was selected to replace his dead father as supreme leader on March 8. Two of the sources said the intelligence indicated that Mojtaba, who earned the nickname "the power behind the robes" while serving as his aging dad's gatekeeper, has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.The power bottom under the robes more like
Recent reports say that he's in a coma following an airstrike and has no awareness that there's a war on or that he's confined to a hospital.
The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly worked for the Khamenei family. Mojtaba, who is believed to have been wounded in the same Feb. 28 airstrike that killed his father and other members of his family, has made "aggressive" sexual overtures to men caring for him, possibly while under the influence of heavy medication, one of The Post's sources said. US spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of Mojtaba Khamenei's alleged sexual attraction to men, but the sources insisted the tip is solid, with one saying it was "derived from one of the most protected sources that the government has." ... Mojtaba's purported sexual orientation had been whispered about inside Iran since at least the May 2024 helicopter crash that killed then-President Ebrahim Raisi, Ali Khamenei's presumed favorite to be the next supreme leader, sources said.
... Some elements of Mojtaba Khamenei's sex life have been reported before and may lend credence to the allegation. A classified US diplomatic cable from 2008, published by WikiLeaks, described Mojtaba being treated in the UK for impotence, though that report did not identify what may have caused the condition. The State Department file says Mojtaba married "relatively late in life" -- around age 30 -- "reportedly due to an impotency problem treated and eventually resolved during three extended visits to the UK, at Wellington and Cromwell Hospitals, London." "Mojtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment; after a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant," the leaked file said.
... Homosexual conduct is illegal in Iran, though the government does allow surgical sex change operations, which some gay men reportedly are pressured into undergoing to avoid criminal penalties. Sodomy is a capital offense in the nation of 93 million people, with some gay Iranians infamously hanged from construction cranes as a warning to others. "In Iran, we don't have homosexuals," former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is believed to be an ally of the younger Khamenei, claimed in 2007.
Iran's new Supreme Leader is unaware of the ongoing war in the Middle East and does not know he is the Islamic Republic's new leader, according to a new report. Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, succeeded his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following his assassination on February 28. He is reportedly in a coma at the Sina University Hospital in Tehran following an airstrike, according to a source in Tehran. Due to his condition, he does not know of the ongoing war, the death of his family members, including his wife and son and of his own election as Supreme leader, the source said. Mojtaba is also reportedly in intensive care and surrounded by security officials, while a large section of the hospital has been sealed off to guard Iran's Supreme Leader. It is unclear whether Mojtaba was injured in the same air strikes which killed his 86-year-old father. A separate source told The Sun through secret messages sent to an exiled dissident based in London: 'One or two of his legs have been cut off. His liver or stomach has also ruptured. He is apparently in a coma as well.'Trump notes that there are reports he's dead:
President Trump on Mojtaba Khamenei: “A lot of people are saying that he's badly disfigured. They’re saying that he lost his leg... Other people are saying he’s dead. Nobody is saying he’s 100% healthy, and he hasn’t spoken... we don’t know if he’s dead.”pic.twitter.com/723pzlZaC4

Assuming it's true. This could be oppo propaganda from political opponents looking to deep-six him while he's on his deathbed (or dead).
While being outted as gay in the USA usually gets you more sex and free jars of lube, in Islamic countries being gay is considered a crime against nature. So anyone angling to get rid of this creep would want people to think he liked penis.

My question is how so many rappers are homosexual. What is the rap-pouf connection? I thought it was just a gag in Tropic Thunder when they let slip that the rapper was queer but apparently it was just commentary on the entire musical form. They all sing about banging bad bitches, but apparently prefer bumming dudes instead.

23 "Mojtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment; after a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant," the leaked file said.
So the IVF finally took. Like Barry and Big Mike's kids.

2. Buy American oil, not Iranian oil.
3. I imagine there's a lot of off-shore oil that's not getting exploited around Australia. Could be wrong, but I doubt that.

TBF I'd also find it pretty funny if I found out the fundamentalist theocracy I was at war with had just ended up with a gay supreme leader.
A normal presidency would be toppled over, if the president laughed disdainly at someone for being gay
It’s breathtakingly stupid. Even for this administration. What’s funny is that intelligence and the NY Post think this story is credible or relevant in anyway.
While this is hilarious, I feel like there’s a real darkness in this: like they’re gloating about his wife and children being dead.
Hegseth has also been running his mouth about how US bombardments have left Khamenei physically disfigured. I feel like they’re trying to bait him into public appearances while they hide in bunkers.

BYD’s latest EVs can get close to full charge in just 12 minutes
The vehicle has a range of up to 800 km and will be launched in Europe next month and in the UK in the summer. Pricing is yet to be revealed.
The Chinese carmaker has aggressively expanded in the UK and Europe with affordable EVs and plug-in hybrids as sales in the home market have come under pressure from a government crackdown on pricing competition.
BYD sales in China plunged 41 percent in February compared with the same month in 2025, marking its biggest fall in five years.

Iranian exile
@MahyarTousi
delivers a SAVAGE takedown of Iran’s foreign minister claiming to be the “voice of the Iranians.”
TOUSI: “It’s like Tim Walz saying he’s the voice of Minnesota.”
“It’s not true.”
“Of course, it’s not just they’re not the voice of the Iranian people, he’s also not the voice of the Iranian regime.”
“Because…there is technically a difference between the government side, which is their foreign minister and the president—who’s a puppet—and the actual regime.”
“These guys are under the control of the regime, but they don’t have any power, they don’t even represent people, they were just there to nod and say yes to Khamenei.”
“Now he’s gone and his son is apparently a cardboard leader at this point and their job is just to go on TV and talk nonsense.”
“It’s just completely pointless and it’s hilarious to watch.”

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 16, 2026 01:52 PM (PYyV9)
Substance abuse is known to open people up to demonic oppression. When I see addict that gives a particularly hinky vibe, I assume there's a demonic presence trying to get its hooks in. Even if he (or she) isn't intoxicated at the moment, there could be lingering impairment from brain damage, creating vulnerability to influence and suggestion. And, that is highly likely to be compounded by a state of unrepentance for things done while drunk or high (or in order to get there), since genuine repentance would mean avoiding the conditions that led to it.
As I understand it, that's the entwined triple-whammy that makes addicts so vulnerable to demons: physical impairment of the brain, in a state of unrepentance, that they can't leave as long as they want their next fix more than getting right with Man and God... which an impaired dummy has trouble caring about.

Hey, how the fuck can the poor Persians be liberated from the murderous IRGC and basij? Those fuckers have enough weaponry and ammo to kill every single citizen times twenty, at least.
The haitian slave revolt lasted over a dozen years and it is estimated that between 100,000 and 350,000 blacks of african descent lost their lives from violence, disease, and starvation. I cannot imagine something like that happening in a place where we have free reign to fly warplanes over every square inch, but what do I know.
I heard it said that about a million of the persians are regime-adjacent. That's a lot to kill. The toll in the congo during the Second Congo War 1998-2003 was 4.5 million, again, many of the deaths from trauma other than kinetic conflict.

They need to be able to pay for their next delivery of gas. It's a very cutthroat business, since the customer is very price-sensitive, so they don't have any cushion. They need to raise prices if the next delivery is going to cost more, but they can only get away with raising prices if everyone else does too; so they all track the price of oil futures, and most survive to pump another day.

Axios "Journalist:" The White House Says That Everything Tucker Carlson Is Saying Is Bullshit
Marc CaputoAww, darn. That was the best part of this.
@MarcACaputo The online chatter about @TuckerCarlson looked like quite a story: he was being spied on by the CIA & knowing that, Trump treated him as a useful idiot by feeding him disinfo that fooled the Iranians about the looming Feb. 28 attack But top admin officials say it’s bullshit 1/2 2/2 Specifically, I'm told 1) there's no CIA investigation of Carlson 2) In his meeting, the two politely disagreed, & Trump held to his position Iran was a threat & didn't mislead him Said one source: Trump "wasn't participating in an op."
3) an addendum for folks saying that the CIA wouldn't investigate but would only refer to DOJ (or that the NSA or another intel agency made the reference), I checked that as well Same answer: no That said, DOJ/FBI is getting lots of citizen requests to investigate him re FARAWorth noting: If the CIA was reading Tucker's texts, it wouldn't be due to wiretapping his phone. It would be due to spying on the Iranian intelligence officials Tucker was chatting up:
Rod D. MartinWould it? I don't know if you can be prosecuted for telling a foreign government non-classified/open-source/personal observation stuff. Maybe you can be.
@RodDMartin 3h UPDATE ON THE TUCKER CARLSON FIASCO. So in case you missed it, Tucker announced by video that he has been informed that the CIA is reading his text messages and is preparing a criminal referral against him. Several things have happened since. First, you must understand: the CIA would never reveal that it had illegally wiretapped anybody, because why would they? Aside from possible punishments for guilty parties, the bigger issue is that an illegal wiretap would kill their case: "fruit of the poison tree". So if they're actually preparing a criminal referral, they've dotted their i's well enough to get past a judge. So how does the CIA surveil an American citizen? In most cases they can't, at least not legally. So if it was legal, they probably were NOT surveilling Tucker, but rather some foreign enemy with whom he was texting: he was talking to people he shouldn't have been, about things he shouldn't have said. That's about the only way you get there from here. A couple things have happened since: First, Buckley Carlson (Tucker's brother) took to X to give a lengthy definition of treason and explain why whatever his brother did wasn't that.
Hmmm.... Second, both Axios and the Administration have denied any of this is true. Which is...interesting. Both might have motives to deny Tucker's story (e.g., why would the Administration confirm a possible-but-future investigation the DOJ hasn't yet initiated?). But what if they're telling the truth? Buckley's post suggests Tucker was telling the truth, at least so far as he knew it, and the family is mounting a defense. Glenn Greenwald certainly thinks that's true. But Glenn could be wrong, and Axios could be right. So we now have three reasonably likely possibilities: 1. Tucker Carlson violated FARA, which is particularly ironic given how many times he's publicly called for FARA investigations of various people he dislikes for unsubstantiated allegations that they were on some foreign government's payroll. No one would more richly deserve this outcome than Tucker Carlson, IF this is what happened. 2. More sinister possibility: Tucker Carlson was aiding and abetting a foreign enemy (because that's a far more likely reason for the CIA to be involved, given the above-stated limitations). In this scenario, it is very likely that Donald Trump had Tucker to the Oval Office to feed him disinformation that then magically appeared in texts with Iranian leaders. ==> Just to be clear: that would NOT fall under "journalism". That would be espionage, and Tucker would (if that's what happened) be in danger of spending the rest of his life in prison.
3. More narcissistic possibility: Tucker made it all up, as Axios claims. In that case, this would mean that he made up a scary story about the Trump Administration to get clicks, cash, and standing as a victim persecuted by the "evil" Donald Trump, "bought-and-paid-for" agent of "the Jooos". And honestly, this morning, I think most of us would lean toward Aisle 3. It's pretty much classic him. But that obscures the magnitude of what happened this weekend. Either Tucker Carlson lied or he didn't. If he didn't, then he was likely aiding and abetting a foreign enemy in time of war, or at least committing the same kind of FARA violation he's accused his enemies of for years. And if he did, then he's just a charlatan. Either way, Tucker Carlson blew a Titanic-sized hole in his own credibility this weekend. It seems to be an unforced error. And that's going to be very hard to overcome outside the realm of his own devotees.Below: It almost seems irrelevant to bring up Taqiyya's past statements, as he his plainly not the same man he once was, due to the demon-scratch that caused him permanent brain damage. But in the past, Taqiyya argued for all sorts of people to face FARA prosecutions.
I used to watch Tucker all the time. Watching him take apart people such as Schiff, Avenatti, and Swalwell was like watching an artist. It was masterful.

Speaking of narcissists, this is the best takedown and picture I've seen from last night's orgy of self-congratulation, aka The Oscars.
This is the autopsy report on Hollywood itself...pathological, terminal, and perfectly representative of the psychic refuse that slithered through its velvet seats.
These are not artists.
They are a collective personality disorder in couture: narcissistic cluster-fucks whose grandiosity is so brittle that they cannot even contain their own waste.
Every empty champagne flute, every discarded gift bag, every sticky condom wrapper of ego left behind screams the same truth...these motherfuckers shit where they eat, then swan off to the afterparty while the invisible brown hands they pretend to champion on stage are left to mop up the evidence of their moral incontinence.

The attack comes after a separate drone strike and fire at Fujairah on Saturday, underlining the vulnerability of the UAE’s only export route that bypasses the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
Shipping traffic through one of the world’s most important energy choke points has virtually ground to a halt since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran on Feb. 28. Iran has retaliated by targeting ships trying to pass through the maritime corridor, with several incidents reported in recent days.
Fujairah sits at the end of the UAE’s Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP), or the Habshan–Fujairah oil pipeline, which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
Spanning around 248 miles from onshore oil facilities at Habshan to Fujairah, the pipeline is estimated to handle 1.5 million barrels per day, with a reported total capacity of close to 1.8 million barrels per day.

Okay, I was conspiracy theorizing last night when I suggested that Carlson may be pulling a snape here, but a funnier possibility occurs to me:
Tucker felt that, regardless of what Trump actually said in their meetings, he had persuaded the President that attacking Iran was a bad idea. And he communicated that, with the end result that their entire leadership was wiped out in an intelligence 'own goal'.

I circle you back to my theory that Tucker has always been a kook, it was just well contained between the beacons at Fox, so when the opportunity arose to boot him, it was taken. Again, corporations do not exit money makers stage left for failures of low magnitude that would blow over as soon as the next scandal came down the leftist pike. I am guessing he was becoming more and more of a liability - now that he no longer has those gatekeepers, we are seeing it for ourselves. Which is sad, but the truth is probably that the Great Tucker we thought we knew was just an illusion.

That was my amused interpretation when the Tucker-Iran-Contra Scandal popped up.
I thought FBI wasn't tapping Tucker's comms. Instead, Mossad was tapping Iran's; they just happened to catch Tucker as he was sliding into the Ayatollah's DM's.
Maybe, maybe not. But given how he's currently acting, it's less conspiracy and more pattern-matching.
After all, remember that one blogger that made it big with the RaTHer-Gate scandal? Little green... something? Turds? Got a brainworm, soon became one of those nose-ringed, blue-haired Karen harpies.
There was another blogger, Patter-something. Frey. Had an ongoing series about "Deport The Criminals First". But then got another brainworm, was all Anti-Trump, All Anti-Time. And that was during the first administration. Wonder if he's now trying to drive over ICE officers and dropping charges against illegals today, thanks to the TDS.

Figuring you can communicate with foreign assholes via comms and be protected in doing so is a fool's game. And as we have seen, all the US comms are intercepted too and just a fig leaf (FISA warrants) away from being revealed. Sometimes not even that regarding 3rd party doctrine information.

In the case of people doing crap for money, fame, and power, grifter is the appropriate term. As they believe in nothing themselves (and Tucker's media career indicates that), they follow the path that gets them that--facts and reality be damned.
That is a low grade con artist--thus grifter because what they are doing is legal, but unethical.

No.
A grifter is a con artist.
Tucker Carlson has been running con jobs on his audience since he was a liberal Republican on CNN, then a neocon war cheerleader, then an anti-war Trump populist, then a pro-Iran Jew hater.
He believes nothing, and spent his career running one scam after another. Megyn Kelly is very similar.
They are grifters.
I don't call Hannity a grifter, for instance. He's a completely consistent retard.

Taqiyya Qatarlson: The CIA Is Preparing a Criminal Referral Against Me Just Because I Was Acting as a Foreign Agent for Iran
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? Because I gotta plead ignorance on this thing. Because if anyone had said something to me that that kind of thing was frowned upon... Last week I saw Taqiyya Qatarlson stating that if Trump negotiated with Iran just to lull them into a false sense of calm while he prepared to strike them, this would constitute a "sneak attack" every bit as terrible as the Pearl Harbor attack and furthermore, any official taking part in this -- including Trump -- should be and "punished right away." In other words, prosecuted.Tucker Carlson says that if the U.S. lulled Iran into a false sense of security before attacking, it would be as bad as Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor - and anyone who participated “needs to be punished right away.” pic.twitter.com/kjOqC9EAbx

WOW — Tucker Carlson reveals he is facing a criminal referral by the federal government for "talking to people in Iran before the war"
— Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) March 15, 2026
Tucker was in the White House multiple times lobbying President Trump against action there.
Who were these "people in Iran" he was talking… https://t.co/33xWuXGjue
He mentions being prosecuted as a "foreign agent," which I assume refers to acting as a agent of a foreign power without registering under the FARA Act. However, I doubt he's guilty of a FARA violation, either.
The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), enacted in 1938, requires individuals or entities acting as agents of foreign principals (governments, parties, or individuals) to register with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)Being an "agent" would require him to have actually agreed to be an agent, or to have taken money to act on behalf of Iran. You can't just be prosecuted under FARA because you sympathize with dirty foreign communists and Islamists, as Taqiyya Qatarlson so clearly does. So I don't think he can be prosecuted here, either. Is Taqiyya lying about being a criminal target, just for clicks and sympathy? Very possibly! He is an inveterate liar. And his ally Cavernous Nostrils is literally threatening violence against Trump's government if they "come for Tucker:"
. It mandates public disclosure of their activities, finances, and relationship to promote transparency regarding foreign influence in U.S. public policy and opinion.
Key Aspects of FARA: Who Must Register: Agents engaging in political activity, public relations, lobbying, or soliciting funds for a foreign principal within the U.S..
Registration Process: Must register with the DOJ within 10 days of agreeing to act as an agent, providing details on their relationship and activities.
Reporting Requirements: Registered agents must file periodic supplemental reports, including detailed reports on income and expenditures in support of their activities.
Exemptions: Key exemptions exist, including those registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act, journalists, and individuals engaging in private, non-political commercial activities.
Enforcement & Penalties: Enforced by the DOJ's FARA Unit, violations can lead to criminal charges if willful, or civil actions, including potential fines and public disclosure requirements.

Arizona man who admitted to crucifying pastor asks for death penalty so 'we can move on with our lives'
. . .
Sheafe, 51, is accused of murdering William Schonemann, the pastor of New River Bible Chapel, in April 2025 before mutilating the man's body. Schonemann was found dead with his arms spread out in his bed and his hands pinned to a wall, authorities said.
. . .
Sheafe told Fox 10 last year that the murder of Schonemann, 76, was part of a plot targeting more than a dozen Christian leaders across the country in a mission he called "Operation First Commandment."
He has claimed that Schonemann and other Christian pastors were leading followers onto a false path. The defendant’s father, Chris Sheafe, told the Arizona Family that his son had become obsessed with the Bible and has a large tattoo of a Hebrew word for God on his neck.

She cited abortion, LGBTQ and transgenderism as the reasons
"It’s impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today."
"I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture. I have compromised my relationship with Jesus for too long, and I’m grateful God did not give up on me — He gave me time to repent, turn, and be fully devoted to Him.”
"That conviction includes the issues I cannot reconcile with Scripture: abortion, the normalization of the gay lifestyle, and the push to redefine gender."
This is so brutal for the left. It will keep happening. SHE MADE THE RIGHT MOVE!

Tucker has been adamantly calling out the foreign influence of Mossad / Israel on American politicians (AIPAC) over the past month. Jokes on him, the foreign agents in charge of our administration and Congress don't like being called out.
Tucker doesn’t care about Gaza, he calls out Israel because he is a rabid anti-Semite, Christian nationalist and white supremacist. Broken clocks occasionally right and all, but he is absolutely not a good person.
Meanwhile, the real foreign agents are anyone aligned with aipac. JFK wanted to list the precursor to aipac as a foreign agent (he was killed before he could). Also, as much as I loathe Tucker, if T imprisons him for essentially free speech, it'll be like Navalny.
Tucker really is a Russian asset and a serious threat to our national security. He's someone I would encourage tue CIA to watch like a hawk.
So is the president and most members of congress, heck people like Obama's chief of staff even went to serve in the IDF after 9/11 instead of here.

I don't know enough about this area of the law, or the specific facts of this case to offer any advice.
I think any info can be classified, even false info or info that may have been true at the time but later turned out to be false. I don't know exactly what information Fucker was given, so it's hard to judge.
Same thing with giving him info knowing it will be passed. Kinda like a sting operation. If an undercover offers stolen goods or drugs to a buyer, and the buyer buys, it's still a crime even those the undercover expected the buyer to buy.
Do I think anything will happen? No. It's possible tha Fucker is making he whole thing up for attention.

I don't know what those people have said and I don't care. All you have to do is watch videos of her, listen to her, watch her and see that she lies a lot. And something is seriously off about her.
If you only form opinions about someone based on someone else's views, grow up.
I can see this on my own.
I don't care what Candace says or the others you mentioned. It's pretty obvious with anyone elses commentary.

It's also entirely possible to make ones own observations about her actions in the wake of her husband's assassination and come to the conclusion that what she's done is unsavory in your personal opinion, regardless of whatever anyone else has to say about her. Just saying.

Because most other companies have figured out that TV advertising costs significantly more than they earn. That's why pharmacy and insurance dominate: they are the ones still buying ad time. Its not like TV networks are seeking out these businesses, that's who is offering ad buys.

Wow…this is…wow. And what would be wrong? The part where she lost her husband in front of her child? The fact she is trying to keep his vision alive in honor of him? The fact she is being torn to shreds by kooks in every corner, both known and unknown and learning in real time no one is really trustworthy, it’s all a viper pit? My guess is Charlie protected her from that fact. Help me to understand what exactly the right protocol is under such circumstances, because my Emily Post does not have a section on this. Charlie Kirk’s are not a dime a dozen, no one will fill his shoes. And do not ever underestimate how catty some women are when the one in front of them is prettier. Do not underestimate how some men view pretty women as stupid and silly. Not all, in either one of these cases. But some.

All of the accusations that I've seen flow from the 12 year old girl level claim that she didn't break down crying in public so Charlie either isn't dead or she had him killed.
I've been in a similar situation and I also didn't wander around in a public daze weeping. Because shit had to get done. So I'm gonna mock the everloving shit out of that trash.

I think it is almost a certainty that the CIA is easing his texts and that no doubt someone in the IC thinks they can break his balls by getting him jammed up legally.
That doesn't make his rhetoric in support or defense of Iran right. Or any of the parts where he dances awful close to raw anti-semitism. But the IC is still filled with terrible people who terrible things.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.

"Conservative" commentators turning radical left is an old thing.
34 Years ago I was in a small audience that listened to Russell Kirk give a speech about Lord Acton at the inauguration of the namesake Institute. In it he outlined how lunatic the Mr. "Power Corrupts" became Marxist in his dotage.
A prophetic address. He looked delighted giving it and glancing at Fr. Sirico while grinning slyly.

A lot of people are reflexively white-knighting Erika because her husband was generally agreed upon as a huge asset to our side.
The fact is they don't know shit about her other than she was married to Charlie, and now she's the head of TPUSA evidently on Charlie's wishes.
They're also defensive of her because of the idiots "on the right" attacking her like Cavernous Nostrils. One can have never seen, heard, or read Candy O or anyone like her, independently observe Erika Kirk's public persona in the wake of Charlie's death, and come to the independent conclusion that her public persona is off-putting. Carrying on the legacy of your assassinated husband is one thing. Giving your kids to other people to watch while you go on the talk show circuit while his body is still warm rubs me the wrong way. Deal with it.

Insurance companies don't make money off of premiums collected, they make money off of investing those premiums.
So a $10 million ad campaign is a business expense against their taxes.
And even if it only gains $3 million in new premiums, it's worth it.
That's not a $7 million loss, it's $10 million in reduced taxes and $3 million in increased revenue; net $13 million.

Pedantic argument.
The Constitution says clearly that when an individual wages war on America, he is guilty of treason. That kind of implies the Founders believed that a single person could, indeed, "wage war".
Oh, but since you say an individual can't wage war on a country, then everything's fine, and hell, that clause ought to just be scribbled out. That about sum up your point?

No, you are inferring that. It doesn't imply anything other than someone who goes to war against the USA is guilty of treason.
Seriously, what would "war against the USA" by a single person look like? How would that be distinct from just protest, or crime? Does he drive a tank into a base and start shooting it? What does this one-man war consist of? Its irrational.

Richard Condon's novel "A Trembling Upon Rome" made me kind of appreciate the anti-pope John XXIII. General, Pirate, Lawyer... I'll leave it to you to decide which role made him more amoral.

If you’re noticing Tucker Carlson being attacked from literally every direction of the political machine. ⁹
It’s because they are terrified of him running for president.
Because he would win and they know it.
And that’s why I’m deeply concerned for my friend Tucker Carlson and his family.
These people are vicious and evil and will attempt to destroy anyone and everyone that reveals the truth.

More than 80% of the oil that flows out of the Strait goes to China and India.
Every barrel can move in different ways. UAE has a pipeline that normally does 800,000 barrels a day and is now doing 7,000,000 per day. Traffic has been redirected around Saudi Arabia to avoid the Persian Gulf altogether.
And the current prices are making operations extremely profitable for American shale oil, which will ramp up production and drive prices down.
Also, Qatar's promised $150 a barrel is dead. I can't seem to get past $100 now except on weekend trading.

American shale oil is immensely profitable at $90 per barrel.
The peak was more than a week ago (during weekend trading) when it got to about $125 a barrel.
Hell, ships have gone through the strait without turning off their transponders while Iran promises not to hit the 80% of traffic that goes to India or China.
The strait is effectively a non-story at this point.

It's just, when oil is at $60 a barrel, it's not that profitable, especially to open new sites.

My guess is that as, Kingmaker, President Trump will ask them to run as a team (Vance/Rubio 202
so that Rubio becomes the heir-apparent to Vance.
However, it might be better for the country if Rubio remains Secretary of State (in addition to Military Governor of Cuba).

Money Center Banks that Pushed the Tricolor Securities Fraud Are Being Sued by the Investors That Were Defrauded
, because Tricolor’s customer base was an “underserved community.”
While all parties involved deserve ridicule for thinking that a pool of lower-than-subprime loans could make a high-quality security, the lawsuit doesn’t just allege that the big banks were pushing a junk product, the allegation is that there was willful blindness to the fraud that was occurring. Further, with the fraud in plain sight, the banks continued to earn underwriting fees for promoting these fraudulent securities.
“Tricolor Noteholders Sue JPMorgan, Barclays and Fifth Third” [Bloomberg - 02/27/2026]
In their suit, the noteholders claim the banks ignored “clear evidence” of fraud, including “alarming” 2022 and 2024 audits of the company, because they were earning millions of dollars in fees underwriting Tricolor’s securitized notes.The CPA audits of Tricolor indicated waving red flags, including: • Nearly half of payments received on a given day were posted to the wrong account. • Defaulted loan accounts showed financial recoveries from repossessions, even though the subject cars were not actually repossessed. • Loan delinquencies were inaccurately reported and re-aged so as to show those loans not being in default. The plaintiffs accordingly allege that: • JPMorgan, Barclay’s, and Fifth Third “responded by hiding what they had learned and sticking their heads in the sand to avoid learning more.” • JPMorgan, Barclay’s, and Fifth Third withheld or misrepresented adverse information in offering materials for investors. Per the plaintiffs’ suit, “Defendants fueled and perpetuated Tricolor’s Ponzi-like fraud.” When the Tricolor fraud blew wide open, JPMorgan’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, was quoted as saying ”It is not our finest moment. When something like that happens, you can assume that we scour every issue, every universe, everything about how it could be taking place to make sure it doesn’t take place from here. You can never completely avoid these things, but the discipline is to look at it in cold light and go through every single little thing, which you can imagine we’ve already done.” Dimon added, ”When you see one cockroach, there are probably more.” To repeat what I said back in October, If there are more “cockroach loans” like Tricolor that are about to blow up, it is not an economic indicator, rather it is a sign that banks and investment houses abandoned their underwriting standards in pursuit of woke cred. I’d also argue that it’s not fair for Dimon to blame employees whose “discipline” was lax. While this is only my opinion, I will state with a high level of confidence that plenty of lower-level analysts and underwriters at JPMorgan knew just how uncreditworthy Tricolor was, but senior management pressure for Community Reinvestment Act credits, woke bragging rights, government favor, etc., compelled every layer of credit approver to recommend approval for a lending facility that objectively should have been rejected. Mr. Dimon stated that he was going to look at the Tricolor debacle “in cold light and go through every single little thing.” I hope he did. And if he has not yet uncovered why the underwriting and approval chain felt they could not decline the Tricolor facilities, then the light is clearly not cold enough. As the lawsuit by defrauded investors moves forward, the question I’m most interested in isn’t “Who knew how bad Tricolor was, and when?” Instead, the question I have is why did otherwise intelligent bankers think they had no choice but to consent to promoting Tricolor as a good credit risk when the fraud and lack of creditworthiness were so evident.

Buck, you are being kind. These securities were much worse than the sub-prime mortgages, which were at least backed up by real estate (inflated, but they still existed).
A used car's value drops by the day, and my guess is that a fair number of these cars were simply abandoned, towed, and then auctioned for a tiny fraction of their value.

For the same reason many investment bankers didn't blow the whistle on subprime mortgages in the early '00s. They got their marching orders from a government that knew precisely nothing about investment banking. See also, EVs and automakers.

The most shocking thing is that a business model specifically formed to sell and finance used cars to Spanish-speaking illegals was not only itself legal, but at one point was worth billions of dollars. The securitized debt in question was alone worth over $2B.

The simplest approach:
The Democrats have argued every single vote protection measure proposed or passed since 2000 will disenfranchise millions of voters. Since then *0*....ZERO...have been disenfranchised. That's right, its a proven fact not a single eligible voter has lost the right to vote.
So it makes no sense why they would oppose simple ID here, like you need to get on a plane, or to drive, or to get into a government building...until you consider how they stole the 2020 election.

"Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?”
To all those smugly doubting if it's temporary: It's literally written into the text that typical Virginia districting standards are resumed after the 2030 census. Please learn how your state's legal system operates.
Maybe republicans will consider a gerrymander ban nationwide now with all the bitching and moaning ive seen from them in this sub
Summarizing the comments on this; people love gerrymandering when the GOP does it. But not if the democrats do it. Okayyy Russia bots
Good on Virginia for taking a stand in working to repel the MAGAt manipulation of gerrymandering. MAGAts only know how to cheat and steal. They lie about *everything.*

I think X tends to be downstream and affect people who actively try to be in the know.
CBS tends to be upstream and tend to affect people who are more passive in acquiring news.

Like the prison phone scams where they charge prisoners $1 a minute for local calls. They do it because they can. The costs or accounting are immaterial -- just keep sending bills to people who have no choice but to keep paying.
It checks all the boxes, vulnerable client base, perpetual payments, lots of fees and penalties, they are subsidized by government welfare, and it's "social justice."
I wonder if anyone is reporting on it from that angle. These are the attributes that the financiers love. Who cares about things like accounting, just send the sucker another bill and he will pay, he has no choice.
I have known people in this situation - they are overwhelmed by their bills and just pay and pay. Many are stupid, but I think many just lose hope. This is vulture capitalism at its finest and Biden *encouraged* it by calling it "Social Bonds."

Posted by: XTC at March 16, 2026 12:13 PM (1YL6+)
Having been in the car business myself, the way this works is a dealer will sell a car they bought for $3000 for $8000. The dealer will take $4000 in cash, and finance the rest at maximum legal rates.
The dealer already covered the cost of the car in cash, plus a little profit, so the loan is just gravy. When the borrower inevitably defaults, the car is repoed and sold again.
What Tricolor seems to have done is taken all these loans and repackage and sold them to banks, who then sold them as investment vehicles. Insanely risky.

Trump couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.
Others in the room also found it “hilarious” and joined the president’s reaction, while one senior intelligence official “has not stopped laughing about it for days,” said one person familiar with the briefing.

I ordered a pair of pants from Amazon...shipped with USPS
On the day it was supposed to arrive...when I was home...I got a message it wasn't delivered because of animal interference.
I don't have any pets and again I was home all day. So I asked my regular mail guy and he told me someone else handles amazon stuff - call the office. Three calls of phone tag later where they kept saying they couldn't find my pants they just...show up in my mail box one day.
Was the alternative guy going to take them until his boss got on him? Where they buried in his truck and he found them later? Who knows...

Arizona man who admitted to crucifying pastor asks for death penalty so 'we can move on with our lives'
. . .
Sheafe, 51, is accused of murdering William Schonemann, the pastor of New River Bible Chapel, in April 2025 before mutilating the man's body. Schonemann was found dead with his arms spread out in his bed and his hands pinned to a wall, authorities said.
. . .
Sheafe told Fox 10 last year that the murder of Schonemann, 76, was part of a plot targeting more than a dozen Christian leaders across the country in a mission he called "Operation First Commandment."
He has claimed that Schonemann and other Christian pastors were leading followers onto a false path. The defendant’s father, Chris Sheafe, told the Arizona Family that his son had become obsessed with the Bible and has a large tattoo of a Hebrew word for God on his neck.
"Adam became extremely interested in the Old Testament. He read it extensively. And part of that process became his interest. We weren’t excited when we’d learned that he’d done it, but to have the tattoo," his father said.

Roger de La Fresnaye This is odd, and decidedly not human. What a strange life the artist must have led to see his, or anyone's, marriage through the lens of Cubism. I understand seeing the world, or politics, or architecture, or even nature as the hard angles and cold images of that art world. But love? That's...disturbing.

The slices of cheese (?) on the table between Naked Lady's head and the beer mug are intriguing. Looking at them, you expect to see a knife . . . and there it is in the woman's nose, with the darkness covering her mouth standing in for the knife handle.

Cubism can be interesting if it's used properly but so many artists used it to be edgy, it actually became boring. I think it works in "Nude Descending a Staircase" because that work is about motion not the nude.

Sinners was really good. It should have won more. I felt like it was just on the verge of something great, which just needed some editing help to get there.
it was obviously since Anderson had not won they were going to give it to him this year, then the rest of the awards were mostly to make up for that, since that film is clearly not his best.

Sinners was one of the better movies, yes. But honestly that's a sign of how far movie making has fallen.
20 years ago Sinners would have been "best movie of a particular weekend" and there would have been 20-30 better ones.

that's what my daughter says
btw I thought If I Had Legs I Would Kick You was INCREDIBLE. That actress (Rose Byrne) should have absolutely won best actress. which I guess is not fair for me to say as I haven't watched the other one.
I really want to talk to you guys about If I Had Legs tho. As a The Current Year parent it was incredibly triggering

"Sinners" was decent. Good action, good acting, good music. I liked the first half better. I think it would have worked well as a revenge fantasy against the Klan, which is where I thought it was going at first, similar to "Inglorious Basterds".

Sinners was actually good
I'm sure Train Dreams is good lol I really do want to watch it
Bugonia was good and I'm shocked it was nominated?!?! my genre tastes are mainstream now I guess
Hamnet is nice. Kind of ... it's a good film. it reminds me of the Oscar-winners of my youth lol. High brow I guess (but boring)
F1 - again that was nominated? that's a good film
The Secret Agent I'm curious about.
it was overall a decent group? better than recent years? I dunno

it's highly anti-therapy and anti-current treatment norms for kids supposedly on-a-spectrum. it's shocking. the creator actually went thru this with her child and actually was able to... put all that pain on film. I went thru similar things with my kids and it was ROUGH to watch this

Superheroes made an awful lot of money before they decided that superhero movies needed to be a vehicle to push THE MESSAGE.
Studio heads make a great deal of money. Their primary responsibility is to determine where the zeitgeist is going so as to greenlight future movies. A blind man could see that the SH genre was totally overexposed and redundant, yet they continued to dump billions into them.
I would have been willing to tell them that for much less than they earn.

>>this year WAS - I think - a good Oscars year.
As noted, no one is going to be talking about any of the films from last night in 20 years, with the possible exception of Sinners.

I saw "Solo Mio" a few weeks ago, which is the first movie I've seen at the theater in more than a year. I liked it. It was a Romcom from a guy's perspective, and the reason for the break-up that sets the stage made sense. The side characters were fun, too. I loved the soundtrack.

The Morning Report — 3/16/26
For decades, critics of regime change in Tehran have invoked the specter of chaos – often assuming that the only alternative to the Islamic Republic would be instability. But regime change from within, a concept I have explored in my scholarship, offers a fundamentally different pathway than externally imposed transformation. . . Rather than externally engineered governance, regime change from within involves the transfer of sovereignty to the Iranian people themselves, enabling them to dismantle authoritarian rule and construct democratic institutions through their own political agency.
The objective is the replacement of the ruling theocracy with a democratic republic grounded in pluralism, secular governance, and the rule of law. The political blueprint for such a transition already exists in Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan, which calls for universal suffrage, gender equality, freedom of expression and assembly, separation of religion and state, and a non-nuclear Iran that lives peacefully with its neighbors – a plan that former National Security Advisor General James Jones recently referred to as “Jeffersonian.”
What Rajavi’s February announcement makes clear is that the Iranian opposition is not merely protesting the current regime – it is preparing for governance after its fall.
. . . Well, this kind of scenario might just be the case 90 miles from Florida,
A group of residents in Moron, central Cuba, protested early Saturday, targeting the local headquarters of the ruling communist party.The demonstration, reportedly tied to the island’s energy and food supply issues, resulted in the partial destruction of the building, and five individuals were arrested.WIth the Maduro junta gone and the Mullahs on the ropes, Cuba's access to oil has effectively been cut off. The Russians have, or had propped up the Casto-ite communist Cubans decades and that mostly ended with the collapse of he Soviet Union leaving the Chi-Coms and other regional Latin-American Communist redoubts their only allies. Will the rest of Cuba catch Moron fever?! Let a thousand AOSHQ puns bloom!
So if the government collapses, or is overthrown, don’t expect a peaceful transition of power as was the case in Czechoslovakia or Hungary or East Germany. Expect a bloodbath. Cubans are very vengeful. And they have decades of anger, suffering, and deprivation to fuel that overdue bloodbath. The rulers know this. If the regime makes a deal with Trump on time in order to obtain some oil it might, just might survive, albeit weakened, but if Trump and Rubio walk away and keep the pressure on, it’s the end. Incidentally, notice that the demonstrations in Cuba are not anti-American (after all, the Cubans are not liberals). And they are not protesting the boycott. . . . . . And if the Cuban regime is overthrown, what then? Chaos. There is no organized resistance in the country that could take over. Possibly there may be a military coup d’etat. Possibly Cuban-Americans will step in. Either way, do not expect the new government to pay off the defaulted national debts and diplomatic agreements of the previous government.Have a great Day!

Iranian Foreign Minister Admits Mentioning Nuclear Bombs Like Witkoff Said, Claims It Wasn’t a Threat

Any threat to that is the same, emotionally, as any other threat to one's livelihood. Yeah, yeah, Freedom Freedom, that's all well and good, but right now I know where the bread line is and who I have to bribe (and how much) to keep a roof over my family's head.

And to be honest, I was just speaking from the hypothetical viewpoint of a person who lives under tyranny but would strongly oppose the removal of that tyranny.
My own personal viewpoint is "I don't care". Their government wants to be a thorn in the side of my government? Then their government goes away. How that affects their dinner plans is none of my concern.

After the Mocks sued, Shapiro countersued, claiming that the land was now his through "adverse possession." He basically claimed that they abandoned the land despite their repeatedly trying to gain entry and repeatedly turning down his offers to buy it.
Welcome to the world of adverse possession. It is a doctrine dating back to 2000 B.C., and the Code of Hammurabi, allowing people to acquire title to land abandoned by owners over a long period of time. A really long time.

Let me violate the "no maths" rule. Let us assume that, in that state, 60% of voters are dems and 40% are republicans. Then assume that the dem and GOP voters spread their votes uniformly on their side of the partisan divide. That'd mean each GOP candidate gets 20% of the vote while each dem candidate gets 7.5%. This (mathematically possible, but unlikely) scenario would have two republicans proceeding to the general election, guaranteeing a republican guv in CA. So I wonder if the dems are working to get their voters to coalesce around one of their stinky candidates or will they leave it up to fate?

Nothing is written in stone, here. There are a number of possible outcomes. This is 100% down to how Donald Trump handles this.
But, if he listens to the many voices like General Jim Jones up top, clamoring to overlay "positively Jeffersonian" political systems in countries with huge numbers of radical Muslims, then, yeah - we're in deep shit. That Kool-Aid is pure poison, but lots of people are thirsty for it.
Just because the Islamofascist regime is undesirable, doesn't mean the natural alternative is an Iran where the millions of barking mad religious fanatics just throw up their hands and say "oh wow, these infidel swine were right all along. We should govern things around here through reasoned debate, in a way that guarantees their civil rights against our pitiless theocracy. Let's call together a Congress right after the Chamber of Commerce meeting, and maybe a Taylor Swift show."
That outcome is likely impossible, and if it somehow can be done, it will require decades of occupation and administration by US troops.

Not even a Community Note that that order came in 2008 or that every expert--even pilots of that craft--agree you can't ever safely parachute from that airplane, stopped him.

I'm mildly optimistic because it is my understanding that a good chunk of the Iranian populace is not radically islamic but are educated and secular. They've been under the heel of the mullahs but the raw material is there for a functioning state that would not be a natural enemy to the US. Decimate the mullahs and stand back

This is where I'm at.
But I think people who want that should be clear-eyed about it. That approach will not lead to a free Iran. Even if a straight-up majority of people want Jeffersonian democracy (I have doubts) there are still too many Muslims for a democracy to bear.
One of two things will precipitate from that power struggle. One would be the Islamists regaining control and going back to their old tricks. At some point we'd have to return and blast them all to kingdom come again. Not great, but meh, it's a yuuuuge setback for them, in any event.
The other would be a military dictatorship that ruthlessly keeps those Islamists suppressed, and more-or-less complies with our demands for peace - something like al-Sisi in Egypt, or Gaddafi in Libya before Hillary Clinton deposed him. Better outcome, if not optimal.
But building a democracy there would have to be done at gunpoint, by us. And people who want that to happen should be clear-eyed about that, too. That lunch will not be a free one.

Not speculation, actual law.
SCOTUS set the sorta outer limit of "no major judicial rulings" on changing election laws at about 90 days before the election in the TX redistricting case.
That is, the law must go in effect and the injunction was improper.
Early voting starts in MN and VA on September 18th.
Thus, let's not pass the SAVE Act until late July.
Under that precedent, the injunctions preventing its implementation would be struck down.
Remember: The SAVE Act includes a provision for private right to sue to enforce it--we don't need to wait for the DOJ to sue states

I'm sure it totally was organic and not the CIA. I can't prove it but something about this makes me want to say, fuck the USA.
In the last 5 years, 15% of Cuba's population has immigrated, a demographic disaster comparable to the potato famine in Ireland. Furthermore, the tourism market declined after the Covid-19 pandemic, and now they are suffering from constant blackouts and oil shortages. But somehow people will argue that it's all the CIA's fault and that Cubans love the communist regime and how they've ruled for the last half-century.
I just hope they get Venezuelaed and not Iraned
I too hope the pedophile class that runs the US government just kidnap a sovereign head of state rather than bombing them, yeah, that'd be much better. 🙄
President Trump says Cuba wants to make a deal with US. He’s spent a lifetime pretending to be a businessman. Everyone always wants to ‘make a deal’ or he’s always ‘negotiating’. It’s like a toddler playing make believe.

Many years ago when I was in the army, one day they offered to bus us over to Reno for the day. So of course I went. Reno is like a seedier version of Las Vegas. I did not gamble that day but the casinos offered very cheap meals at their restaurants. As long as you can resist the allure of the gambling you can get relatively cheap hotel rooms and meals at these places... at least that was true mumble, mumble years ago when I was in the army

Actually, it might be the best compromise to restart the franchise. People like the original cast, but they're way to old now to do live action and look right, so animation of their original characters with their voices might be the right call. Animated series can be successful when targeted at adults and with more serious topics.
If it is successful, I'd hope to see a spin-off live action with a new crew. Could be like Star Trek...we had the original series, an animated series, and The Next Generation.

So if it is 2%, for every $100 you spend you will on average get $98 back.
While you can of course "beat the odds" in the short term, it is unlikely.
You then can and should price out how much you will gamble if you are going to do so ahead of time...AND STICK WITH IT. Also, I think an important point is that money that is lost is in fact lost. If you go in with $100 and get down to $80 that twenty bucks is gone...don't bet on the basis of "I'll win it back"

The articles on the conviction of those Antifa in Dallas are bizzaro-world.
See, it was just a protest on July 4th.
And they only got convicted because they happened to wear all-black.
So they're being prosecuted for their 1st Amendment exercise.
Nothing about how:
- it was late at night
- they were shooting fireworks at the cars and building and vandalizing the vehicles to draw the agents out
- and then started shooting * at the agents when they did come out
- all pre-planned via extensive text messages
* the ones that even mention that part, 1st imply that it was defensive on the Antifa part and 2, that it only grazed his neck and the agent was fine, so no big deal.

For those who can do fusion, it is entirely at their convenience. And they do not like it to be abrupt.

"Six Months in a Leaky Boat" is a single from New Zealand art rock group Split Enz's album Time and Tide. It was written by Tim Finn and released as a single in 1982. The song is a reference to the time it took pioneers to sail to New Zealand....

=============
Economic literacy would be a huge benefit to journalists, especially to an editorialist. Trump is not at fault for consumer rejection of EV's. Consumers got there all on their own, and only bought EV's when someone (Uncle Sam in this instance) paid them to buy the product. Rejecting any further participation in that corruption makes Trump a hero, and not a bad guy.

"The trick relies on invisible Unicode characters: code snippets that are rendered as nothing in virtually every editor, terminal, and code review interface.
"Attackers use these invisible characters to encode a payload directly inside what appears to be an empty string."
Isn't it the invisibility of the characters that's the problem, not the fact that the characters are rendered in Unicode?

Florida Man's Crappy Plan Man caught on camera stealing septic tank
Surveillance video shows a man trying to steal a septic tank, then returning the next day and taking it after his initial attempt failed, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies responded on Feb. 27 to a reported theft at a construction site in the 21600 block of W. Highway 40 in Dunnellon, the sheriff’s office said in a social media post. “As you can see in the surveillance footage, they discovered that Alfio Nocifora had a crappy plan to steal a septic tank on February 22 with his 2013 Toyota Corolla,” the post states. The attempt failed when a Jeep Cherokee arrived at the scene and, according to the sheriff’s office, Nocifora fled. He then returned the next day with a rented U-Haul truck and successfully loaded the septic tank and about $2,500 worth of electrical pipe. Deputies said Nocifora covered the U-Haul license plate and identification number with tape. A detective later identified him, obtained an arrest warrant, and deputies located him in Citrus County, where he was taken into custody, the sheriff’s office said.News video clip available here
Guinness has recorded some strange records over the years, and Favour Ogechi Ani’s record definitely ranks up there with the weirdest and most difficult of them. Starting in October 2025, the Nigerian woman spent 70 days confined to her home, counting out loud to 1,070,000. Counting out loud might not sound like the most difficult thing in the world, but can you imagine doing it for up to 14 hours a day, 70 days straight? It’s the kind of monotonous repetition that could make a person go mad, but Favour Ogechi Ani was so passionate about counting and focused on breaking the 18-year-old record for the highest number ever counted out loud that she never thought about quitting. “Honestly, it was tough, but my passion for counting kept me going,” Favour said. “I had a lovely team supporting and cheering me up, and it was fun despite the challenges. My determination to achieve this project was a burn-the-boats mission. I never thought of giving up for any reason.” Starting on October 8th, Favour Ogechi Ani started livestreaming her daily counting routine on YouTube, which helped validate her record attempt. She also credits the people cheering her on as an extra motivating factor that kept her counting daily until December 16 of last year. *** The old record, which had stood for a whopping 18 years, was an out-loud count to 1,000,000, but instead of just counting to 1,000,001 and calling it a day after a grueling counting marathon, Favour kept going until 1,070,000.

The Army has officially adopted the M111 (and it’s practice counterpart the M112). May not sound terribly significant, but they are the first lethal hand grenades adopted since 1968. As many know, our standard M67 grenade works pretty well as a fragmentation grenade. Pull the pin, four-ish seconds later it goes ‘splodey, and sends out shards of metal in pretty much every direction. Basic, simple stuff. Unless you have to use it indoors, within the blast radius of the fragments. Fragments can get deflected, go in odd directions, through thin walls – not as much fun, right? *** Has there ever been a case of mesothelioma reported in someone sharing a room with an exploding grenade?

Fast forward (actually rewind, but details) to Women's History Month at the White House (March 12, 2026). Melania hosted in the East Room alongside POTUS, and she went full fierce with an Adam Lippes Levi Belted Leopard Print Chenille Maxi Skirt. Leopard print on a midi/ maxi length? Bold, but no one is surprised Melania owned it. The skirt was paired with a what I believe to be the Ralph Lauren collection cashmere sweater we have seen before. The belt adds definition, the chenille texture is subtle luxury. The shoes are Christian Louboutin black suede Pigalle Follies 120 pumps. This look is “I'm here to honor women who roar." Adam Lippes has been a go-to for FLOTUS (remember that Inauguration coat?), and this proves why: American-made elegance with a wild side.
Shoutout to Second Lady Usha Vance at the same event, she looked absolutely lovely in the Marie Oliver The Paxton Dress. The high-neck, long-sleeve midi in a striking blue-and-white abstract zebra-ish print was modern, confident, and fresh. The pattern pops without overwhelming, and the silhouette is graceful for daytime White House duties. Usha is starting to elevate her style game, and she is also an adorable pregnant woman. Love that for her.
We can't skip the historic first: Melania chairing the UN Security Council on March 2. She chose a sharp Christian Dior belted gray virgin wool tweed jacket (removable scarf for options) over a matching pencil skirt. Peplum shaping, which is currently very on trend, black belt cinch, textured tweed, it all equals pure business chic. Dior + Louboutin heels? Unbeatable power combo.
Which of these looks was your favorite, are you Team Tweed or Team Animal print? ----- Thanks, Piper! By the way, if you'd like a sneak peek at what Piper will probably be featuring next week, check out Piper's X page. She's been posting Oscar red carpet stuff this evening.

Just finished watching a classic psychological mystery, Crossroads, from 1942. William Powell of the "Thin Man" movies plays a French diplomat in 1935, married to Hedy Lamarr (yes, her), and saddled with amnesia. Suddenly he is thrust into a maze of blackmail and duplicity; Basil Rathbone and Claire Trevor demand a million francs from him, because, they say, he was their confederate in a robbery in 1922. But he doesn't remember!
Or does he? Powell and the script keep us guessing until the end. It's a fine little B & W mystery.

Tony Bennett was in it, as I recall -- probably his only dramatic role.
The original screenplay might have been pretty good stuff from Harlan. But knowing his stories of how studio execs can ruin things, I wouldn't be surprised if there were too many cooks meddling in the production. Usually Harlan took his real name off projects he was disgusted by, using his pen name "Cordwainer Bird."

There were four of us in emergency having done so. Felt bad for a plumber who hurt his whole hand pretty badly. It was busy, so the gave us all morphine and stuck us in a corner. The three of us with hand injuries spent our time busting chops of the guy who stuck his foot in, like how can you clean the shoot with your foot. Actually a kind of fun afternoon. When I got home the kids and I went looking and found the top of my thumb.

I usually open the ONT every night and read through it but don’t look at the comments until the next day so it is too late to comment. So, pie from last night. Lemon Pecan Pie from The Hammett House in Claremore, OK. They serve it in a heated skillet with a brandy butter sauce with vanilla ice cream. I don’t know if mindful has made it there since it is a little NE of Tulsa. If you need another reason to go to Claremore, there is also the J. M. Davis Arms Museum.
I am going to make a trip to the Hammett House in a couple of weeks for some pie, with a side trip to The Amish Cheese House in Chouteau, OK.

I have been thinking about that - it would be like the Iranians to burn as much of their own country down as possible when they know they’re losing.
I suspect Trump is hoping they’ll slack off in threatening oil shipping in the Straits of Kharg is threatened, but I think they are far past any rational reasoning like that now. Still, it’s probably a good idea to occupy it, as well as a few other small islands in the straits (for strategic reasons)

"It's important for Canadians to know that Canada was not consulted before the action undertaken by Israel and the United States. Canada was not asked to comment, Canada has not participated and Canada will not be participating."

I've been to RenFaires in CA, OR, and WA. All.of them at least tried for some degree of authenticity. This one seemed to be a carnival with a 17th century theme. They.market it as family oriented, which requires the rough edges of that time period to be rounded off which explains some of it. For instance, unlike others, they restrict weaponry to the degree that it's cartoonish, and they're pretty fussy about "revealing attire". The other is that is obviously a commecial.endeavor, and the assembly line nature is not well hidden. Very little of the independent artisan goods on sale showed any real artistry. At least the jousting seemed to be skilled, in a "WWE rasslin" sense.

The Hammett House used to print the recipe for their lemon pecan pie and for their German Chocolate pie on their placemats but the last time I was there they had stopped doing that. You can find the recipe on the internet. It is fairly simple. My wife baked it a few times. There is an orange pecan pie variant that we tried one time but we much preferred the lemon pecan. A word of warning, they have many types of pie and some of them are huge. The peanut butter chocolate chip is several inches tall. The first time I ate at the Hammett House, we were in town for an audit and the client took us there for lunch. The food portions were huge and covered the plate. Then they asked if we wanted any pie. We said sure. It was tough staying awake that afternoon while auditing their books.

You rarely (in my experience, never) get BOOBIES at a RenFaire. What you get is suggestive - a peek here, a hint there.
It isn't the Oregon Country Fair, where sometimes you see boobies you don't want to see, but the ones you want to see make up for it.

President Trump does like some misdirection and doesn't mind if the rest of us are confused in the moment as a result. Whether he says shit, or quite obviously sends stealth bombers the long way around the world to give a false timeframe for an attack.
I wonder if we're going to find out at the end of this if he asked a friend to play a role that would in the short term require him to shred his reputation, but put him in a position to feed Iran information that lead to their entire leadership being in one place when we were ready to hit them.
I mean, it's a low probability guess, and I'm annoyed enough that I'm not listening to Tucker any more, but I can see *Trump* doing it.

MN Faire gets a bit of everything. Proper Ren Faire garb, including a few dirndls, and outfits with structural-steel bodices, and an occasional belly-dancer outfit. A few teenage or twentysomething college girls in fairy costumes with a pound of glitter. Random steampunk outfits. Someone wearing last year's Halloween costume. Extras from the last Mad Max movie. Cosplayers that missed their convention and went to the Faire instead (The Doctor, Deadpool, etc.)
Mostly people in regular street clothes, or something approximately Renaissance-Faire appropriate, though.

They did such an amazing job creating the characters for 2. I think of the hobby thread considering how much time Sienna was shown putting together the costume. And the breasts. I followed her on Instagram.
The clown girl too. Very pretty teenager.
A great movie, 'The Black Phone.' I know Madeleine McGraw from DisneyChannel. She won a chainsaw award for her performance there. Number 2 was pretty good too.

Funny thing, I don't think the gauge wires are truly "soldered" as in having been wet by the molten solder. The factory didn't solder them; they wrapped the wire around the stud, and applied a daub of glue. Nichrome resistance wire doesn't "take" solder. But I built up blobs of solder on the ends of the studs, and simply submerged the nichrome wire in the molten blob, and let it set. The gauges worked when bench-tested, so I assume the wires make decent electrical contact.

The Incredible Petrified World!
Today's offering are two more of the excellent Big Sky Cigar Co. Yellowstone, is the fifth of their River Series of the best fishing streams in Montana. The others were covered a few months ago. This is a very mild cigar, made in Esteli, Nicaragua. A blend of Ecuadorian, Connecticut and Nicaraguan tobacco. As all of these cigars, very well made and simply great to enjoy. I've paired it with some great, if not well known bourbons. Big Horn, Devil's Brigade and Penelope Four Grain. The second cigar is Tim Montana Vigilante. Which I had to try because of the name. It is unexpectedly mild, very similar to Yellowstone in taste and flavor. It pairs well with the above bourbons also Buffalo Trace. Finding the cigars is harder. I order them from their website and there are brick and mortar stores around. As a side note Texas has a lot of stores that carry them. For some reason the company is not able to ship to residential addresses in Texas. I has three people try to explain that to me from the company. I still don't get it. They shup out of Miami though and are very prompt.Excellent, Winston AKA Pops! Thank you!

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

While not bullets, I learned to shoot skeet on a range that was built on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. On breezy days, it was common to have your outgoing clay targets slow down, stop, and then come back towards you.

We have been to the range and can confirm that we worked on fundamentals. Given the encouragement of last week's content, I sought to focus on trigger. At times, I found success. Other times, success was more elusive. The problem I have is that I'm trying to do the same things and it feels the same, but results vary.
Grateful, on the other hand, remains a sniper.
We're both getting new glasses, so will be interesting if being able to see helps our results.

PI, I have a Colt Kodiak, which is a 4" barreled Anaconda with ports (six in all). .44 Magnum recoil out of that feels significantly softer, and .44 Special feels like .38 Special. So the barrel ports do make a difference to me, at least.

I purchased a S&W 657 (.41 Magnum) w/ /6.5" barrel and unfluted cylinder some years ago, and even before I'd shot it, sent it in for Mag-Na-Porting, which was relatively new and 'hot' at the time. While waiting for its return, I purchased another identical one.
Upon its return, I took them both to the range, excited to experience the salutory effects of the ports (two on each side of the barrel). Bang! No perceived difference. Bang! Same.
So I fired them both simultaneously, one in each hand, single-action. No perceptable difference with the ported one in my right (strong) hand. Only when I fired the ported one in my left hand could I detect a slight difference in recoil reduction.
Now I did have an opportunity to shoot a competition 9x23 (a very hot 9mm round) with an excellent port. It had negative jump (i.e. you had to bring it back up on target, not lower it.

The Kodiak's rubber grips really help a lot when it comes to softening felt recoil. Do your bride's hand fit the grips of that Bodyguard 2.0 well? If her hands don't fit well with that pistol, all the porting in the world won't help her.

I you couldn't feel a difference in .41 magnum, then I doubt my wife could feel any difference in .380 acp.
The Performance Center upgrade does have a slightly longer barrel. One of the reviewers did get a small velocity increase on his chrono compared to the OEM barrel.
I figure it never hurts to have a bit more velocity in .380.

=======
TRex, where does your trigger finger sit on the trigger, the pad?, the distal (first) joint? or does your finger go further into the trigger using your standard grip. When you get inconsistent results, the first thing I would check is fit of the pistol to your hand. Next, I would check to see if your master grip is consistent. For proper recoil management, the bones of your forearm and wrist should align with the muzzle in a straight line. Using a crush grip (grip as hard as you can and then back off just a tad) also prevents using your smaller fingers from milking the trigger. You get a consistent force. This is NOT a target grip nor firearm specific.
Contrary to Herr Glock, the distal joint where the trigger nests in the first joint is the most consistent in placement and allows the strongest leverage to pull anything from a double action revolver 12 lb trigger to a striker fired 4.5 lb wt.
Try while drying firing at home.

People can and have gotten into legal trouble at the ranges. A fair chunk of range customers may be leos or leo adjacent and I can think of several cases where bystanders at the range got people firing into trouble. One was a Wisconsin case where a guy had a defective Olympia AR that doubled. He went to prison when a leo saw his problems at the range and reported him to the ATF. Other cases involved unlicensed SBRs or shotguns, people using the Glock switch, etc.

Not suggesting or recommending that anyone tries to violate a law. A range would need to look at the equipment of all law-abiding customers if they were actively trying to identify outliers. I want to know if regular customers breaking no laws are accustomed to equipment checks at the range to confirm they are breaking no laws.

Usually it does. Magna Porting is the premier pistol porting firm but most people find porting unpleasant with minimal effects on recoil unless you are firing really hot rounds with a lot of gas (like full round 357 rounds).
As a sidenote though, in the K Frame Model 66, flame cutting and barrel cracking (the original K Frame in 357 used the same flat spot on the underside of the barrel (to allow the cylinder to close) of forcing cone where cracking happens in a full diet of hot 357 rounds.
Dunno if porting would help or hurt that. On teh SP 101, it is a tank and go to go with unpleasantly and heavily loaded 357's if your hand tolerates it.

AND I think the bigger one will be the carry an assault firearm on or about one's person any place open to the public...
I suppose that they could probably change to allow only members to shoot and that would make it a club not a place open to the public. But that's going to also put a dent in who is going to come and shoot. AND it is also seems to me that if the cops wanted to be a-holes about it they could wait in the parking lots of ranges and ask people what is in the cases.

Wondering if the porting would significantly reduce value.
Posted by: rhomboid at March 15, 2026 08:13 PM
I adore M66's, esp. w/3" barrel. For shooters, it shouldn't be a big hit either way. Collectors (and an unfired no-dash is collectable) will probably wrinkle their noses.
Given the weight of an SP-101, I'd be surprised if any significant recoil reduction happens.

Question for the Horde. I have an old H&R pocket hammerless .32 revolver. Apparently a first model, first variation. Seems identical to this pic: https://tinyurl.com/3928p4t3
Four-digit serial number.
It would not fire reliably because hammer spring was too weak. Ordered a new hammer spring, which had to be cut down because too long. Finally made it fit; it did a fine job of popping the primer on an emptied-out cartridge.
New problem cropped up. Now the trigger does not reset fully. It springs back maybe 90% of its travel, but has to be pushed the last 10% . And the sear and the hand won't reset unless the trigger does all the way forward to its stop. Remove the hammer spring, and trigger resets. Seems like the hammer spring is causing pressure on a part called the "rebounder", to which the hand is affixed.
Any suggestions? I am thinking maybe a hammer spring of lighter-gauge metal?

Was the porting part of a factory custom job? You can check S&W's historian to find out (this will cost time and $$). I don't know about Ruger. Generally speaking, a factory custom job might even enhance value if it's sold to the right buyer (with documentation). Post-factory custom work rarely enhances value unless other factors come into play (famous or notorious owner requesting customization, well known gunsmith, etc).

Not sure if he was spotted by RSO or if someone reported him to TSO, but he was escorted off the premises.
Somewhere along the way this got reported to the "authorities." And turns out the guy was a DC resident, and he had 3d printers and stuff he had printed lying about in his abode. He is in deep doo doo.
So this is not a regular check for legal compliance - but if you try to modify a gun you have rented from a range AT THE RANGE - bad things are likely to happen.

We don't enforce laws, just our own safety SOP, is our answer. Not aware there's ever been a stool pigeon incident (like the cases whig describes, which are incredible to me). And it's common for people to come and swap out parts on ARs to shoot, then swap them back to CA-legal condition when they leave.
We get SEALs fairly often, coming for various reasons. They always ask if they can bring their "work" guns. I always answer "the more exotic the better, and we don't enforce laws here". Last time this happened the guy brought a newly introduced .308 AR-10 variant, think he called it an SP-10, with some sweet optics (duh). A pleasure to (accurately) shoot at the 300-yd target. Beautiful.
Best rule is to always call ahead and check.

Thanks Red. I've been doing a bit of reading/vid-watching on that exact topic the last couple of days. A couple of questions if I may.
As I understand it, I can establish the trust with myself as the only trustee and then when I buy my first NFA item and assign it to the trust, I have to do all the ATF stuff -- prints, pics, etc. What is the process to add other trustees?
What is the difference between a trustee and a beneficiary?

According to Brave AI, Smith & Wesson Model 66 did not have factory-standard Magna-Porting as a cataloged option. While Magna-Port is a patented process by the company Magna-Port, Smith & Wesson never offered it as a standard factory feature on the Model 66.
The SP-101 might be ported from the factory but doubtful that the Model 66 with no dash was as production ended about 1977. FWIW, it appears the Ruger did have a licensing and mfg agreement with Magnaport to offer models from the factory with it.

Short answer: the Trustee administers the Trust for the benefit of the Beneficiaries. They are different legal parties to the Trust.

If they are in collectible shape (like nearly new), see if you can get the original box (for Rugers that are factory ported, it is on the box) and instructions. Some people keep the boxes, some don't but it can make a difference in value.
If you do shoot 357 magnums in a K Frame (the newest revived ones are fine to shoot btw due to a redesigned sleeved barrel), use the heavier 140-158 gr rather than the light and hot 125 GR JHP that police used.

The ATF (BATFE) only looks at your trust when you apply to purchase or transfer an NFA item into it. Otherwise, it’s purely an estate planning tool to deal with your firearms. No government involvement.
The ATF requires that the NFA Trust meet its legal requirements as a condition of approval. As well, all Trustees/Responsible Person must do the complete approval process - background check, fingerprints, photos, etc.

Go ahead and put a wife (or kids) on the trust to begin with. If something happens, makes it easy to transition and there is a difference between an NFA trust that only deals with one NFA item rather than multiple firearms and NFA items. The latter is more expensive to draft but better overall in the current $0 tax stamp era.

Lots of P7 mags for the 4 pistols (I did physically see those already), which is nice. And I have a personal connection to Triple K here in town, which manufactures out of production mags to order.
As I said I don't shoot 357, just did a few cylinders way back to see what it was like. Though the Colt King Cobra is a boat anchor and seems like it could handle a diet of those.

Lampblack also can serve if you don't mind the mess. I am thinking that the spring may be strong enough to be pulling some of the moving parts out of alignment enough to rub on the frame or other parts in the trigger-hammer like a hammer block if you have one.

Colts are gtg with heavy loaded cartridges and the Cobra is the more modern revolver design compared with the older 1898 era locking mechanism using leaf springs.
Colt always had better and more consistent metallurgy back in the day than Smith did. Smiths were easier to work on their lockwork and better double action triggers unmodified. Colts had better single action.
To give you an example of mag prices, I bought a Sig ex military P6 in the early 2000's, sold here as the P225. Original magazines now are about 75-100 bucks each and no longer available other than Pro Mag. The brief revived Sig P225 a couple used different magazines for that model.

1. Buy guns and ammo. And mags! Now.
2. If you have the parts for something that falls under the definition of an assault firearm (say you have an unfinished lower) and you have been putting off building it - build it. Would assembling it later fall under the ban on manufacture? Not a great risk.
3. Look into trusts especially if you have non-immediate-family who would be recipients of your firearms upon your death - because transfers will be banned except for immediate family. And VA legislators!
4. Take pictures of your inventory (scuba to the bottom of the pond if necessary) and email them to yourself. This self documents ownership and puts a timestamp. If you are not comfortable with doing that, the lawyer said his office will photograph and place the photos in a private file there in the office for a fee.

The rest of the parts for the P6 are available as many of them are used in other P models.
Some of the oldest models may not feed certain hollowpoints like Hornady well. But the design is rock solid (cousin of the P220 in 45 ACP) and the weight of the pistol makes them easy to fire and the single stack magazines are more reliable than double stack on old used magazines. I have about ten mags or so from mine as I bought them from the LGS for a steal after the LGS ran out of the P6s to sell.
The one negative other than older ones feeding certain hollowpoints is some people report issues using ultra high velocity +p ammo as the slide moves too fast to pick up new rounds. Feed it 124 gr hollow points with a decent ogive and it simply works and accurate as heck.

Who knows but my opinion is that it won’t move the market much because the new brands are bigger with more political and economic muscle than the original commie brands. But it almost doesn’t matter to me because I’ve moved away from the classic commie brands. I really like the new brands that don’t have any trademark issues with the old commie brands. I smoke mostly AJ, CAO, some of the Pepin and Bradley smokes, and AVO when I can find a good deal on them (the Synco is excellent but very expensive).

Peter Pi, who founded Corbon, was a talented designer and Corbon bought the Glaser line of ammo and make those too. He left Corbon and there was some disruption for awhile but others have taken it over and it is shipping product again including a considerable line of pistol and rifle self defense ammo. Some using DPX bullets.
If you see them around, the Federal Nyclad 125gr hollow points in 38 Special perform well other than barriers and are very low recoil. Nylon coated swaged lead hollow point bullets.
Myself, I have Remington 158 gr swaged lead hollow point ammo ( the old FBI load) and Speer still made at last check, swaged lead 158 gr hollow point bullets for practice round loadings.
The Golden Saber line from Remington also has a very good 38 Special +p cartridge but not been made in the last several years.

I used to buy Cubans at duty free (or tabacchias in Rome or other places in Europe) regularly, but mostly as gifts as I was a very occasional burner of dried cured black leaf back then.
I was just thinking of the trademark fight. I think the New World guys are on the high ground for many reasons, and if anything a likely outcome is, say, Montecristo in an advantageous joint venture with or buying the Cuban one outright. Can see the resulting companies having Cuban and non-Cuban lines. Imagine the sector in Cuba will need massive investment, from the fields on up. But one way or the other the fields of Pinar del Rio and the rollers will be part of the cigar world once the gangster regime is liquidated.

I don't know if the ban on carry of assault firearms is included in the list of laws that trigger the forfeiture. But could be. So if you are carry an AR in a case in the parking lot of the range, the police can just take it.

You heard correctly. The Cuban quality fell off a cliff — although the very high end and obscenely expensive Cuban smokes still have a bit of a unique flavor — in large part because they found a yuge new market in status-obsessed China where all they care about is that it’s a Cuban cigar.

Recognizing that the de facto repeal of the 2A by courts - and their substitution of their own "doctrines" and "tests" and often just outright nonsensical policy preferences - is probably the most outlandish abandonment of the constitution on a competitive list thereof, would think there would be some pushback.
Out of laziness and despair I have given up following the cases around the country, but AFAIK Heller is still toilet paper to the districts and circuits, and AR bans/near bans are thriving in several states.

Biggest "beginner" mistake is starting with too fine sharpening stones. Get a 600 grit (more coarse) and maybe a 1000 or 1200 (finer grit) and a leather strop. Start coarse until you can feel a burr develop on the edge, and refine it with the finer stones. Takes a little practice but you'll get the hang of it!

I used to be able to create (and feel) the burr on my 400 grit stone, but the last time out, it wasn't happening for some reason. The Sharpie test told me that I had the correct angle, but the end result was unsatisfactory.
I guess, just like shooting, knife-sharpening is a perishable skill!

Agree. I would add that sharpening should be a regular thing so the blade doesn’t ever get dull. I use the contraption sharpener I mentioned above because it’s idiot proof, but I sharpen regularly so I never need to use more than 800 or 600 to start.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at March 15, 2026 09:46 PM (p0x3z)

For example I expect the carry on or about one's person law to get overturned at some point. I have heard people say that this law is intended to only cover open carry. "Washington Gun Law" on YouTube opined that, said don't worry about the law so much.
EXCEPT THE LAW DOES NOT STATE OPEN CARRY. It says you cannot have it on or about your person in any place open to the public. That means people are going to get dinged on it.
And I think it leaves you open to forfeiture, too.
It's going to take a while to get these changed, and people will pay a price for it.

If it is, (I think it is but I am often wrong) the spring may not be riding well on the nose of the trigger, if it is too long it might interfere with the full rebound.
I think it is similar to the Spanish knock-offs of the S&W Russian. I can't tell if the H&R acts with the upper or the lower leg of the V-spring from drawings and I have never had one apart. Does this animation of the Spanish pistol help?

It is a V-shaped trigger spring, but its action is different than in that animation. Without the drag of the hammer spring, the trigger spring moves the trigger quite forcefully to the reset position.

Well, the garlic is out in the sunshine, probably soon to be eaten by those vile rodents with bushy tails and a penchant for damaging my home. But if they survive the squirrel apocalypse, and actually grow into something edible, I will be in garlic heaven! In case it doesn't, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

Well! You know how there are regular Walmarts and Super Walmarts? Apparently there are Super Buc-ee's and this was one of them. This place was far bigger than the ones in N. Crossville, TN and Royse City, TX.

Meatloaf is one of my wife's "comfort foods". In fact, I have been married long enough to know that the smell of a comfort food being cooked almost certainly means she had a bad day or a bad week.

I get 12oz of 1/2" thick bacon from our butcher, only give it an hour on the smoker, then cut it up into 1" pieces and throw in the Dutch oven, cover with a cut up onion, 28 oz Bush's baked beans, 1/2 cup brown sugar, some ketchup and mustard and molasses to taste, bake at 225 for 6 hours and refrigerate overnight.
Served cold.

Yeah, I have salmon filet planned for tomorrow, but if we lose power, told the spouse it's probably PB with bananas and honey.
We lost power Friday with the last windstorm for 3 hours (hadn't lost power in years)...so I don't know which way this will go. Thankfully, we had a Church soup dinner to go to which had power (told the spouse if I'd have been in the middle of prepping dinner, it would have had to be tossed, so at least tomorrow is a 20 minute cook plan).
I'll probably prebake homemade blueberry muffins and serve 2 cold salads (fruit and cucumber), so it's just the salmon for the worst of the storms...

I kind of fell in the kitchen last night because I just got a shipment of all the meds I may have to take for my heart and arthritis and just general over-active sexual drive that I hadn't had for a week... so I took them all at once and sort of "got tired real fast"....
Anyway, when I fell some part of me hit and shattered the glass front of my stove.
I'm researching getting a new panel, but my question is- will there be any danger with using the oven with only the interior glass on the door?
And again, I want to stress, most of the problem that happened to cause the fall was my incredible and continued virility.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So this is a recipe from your grandma's cookbook?
If the product still exists, it'll be shrinkflationed down to something like a 19 oz can now, so you'll have to do Math to get the new proportions right.
Or buy two cans and freeze part of one for next time. First World Food Thread Problems.

You can do it in the crock pot, just add the cabbage in for the last hour and a half if you are cooking it on low, 45 mins if high.

Roast the cabbage in wedges and the carrots separately (you can rewarm the carrots if you can only fit one at a time in your oven).
Make mashed potatoes.
Make the corned beef in the crock.

There is an air gap between the inner and outer glass panels...that's for insulating the heat of the oven from the exterior glass. The interior glass will be as hot as the oven, and it will radiate a lot of heat into the kitchen.
So...if you use the oven, your kitchen will get hot, and there is a significant risk of getting burned very badly.

Wouldn't recommend slow cooking cabbage. Add all the other ingredients to your crock pot. About an hour before dinner time, Roughly dice your cabbage and saute in olive oil and maybe some carraway seeds. I usually would do this in a large stock pot so you can move the cabbage around as it cooks.

For truly tender, fall-apart brisket nirvana where Christians and Jews agree on a messiah, I have to roast the meat at least 8 hours, preferably 10+. That’s how long it takes to break down the collagen at low and slow.
Yea, I can make a pretty good brisket in a few hours. The meat is not hard, and quite flavorful, but I wouldn’t call it tender or anywhere near the nirvana ideal.
In fact, we did St Paddy dinner yesterday, and we did corned beef — duh — and only had time to roast for maybe 3-4 hours. Came out good, tasty, but I wouldn’t call it tender.

1 medium yellow onion
2 bell peppers, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 14 oz can fire-roasted tomatoes, diced
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup beef stock
1 bottle beer (I used Dead Guy Ale on hand)
2.5 lbs brisket, cubed*
6 strips of cooked bacon, cut into pieces
2 cans chili beans in mild sauce
1 tsp chocolate/cocoa powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp cumin
2-3 tbsp chili powder (I used a chipotle blend)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp oregano
Black pepper and salt to taste
2 spoonfuls of masa hating to thicken
I don't have a smoker so I used a smoky black pepper rub in the brisket and cooked it at 250 degrees for 5-6 hours in a pan, with a bit of liquid (tented in foil for the first two hours).
Sauté onion, garlic, and peppers; add seasonings, sauté for three more mins.
Dump in crockpot along with can of tomatoes and chicken/beef stock. Add brisket, bacon, and beans. Stir so the delicious gestalt of flavors can brood. Heat on low for 3-4 hours.

My wife brought home a Sunbeam counter top deli slicer from the church rummage sale, it is chrome and probably as old as I am. It has to be disassembled to be cleaned, and honestly it needs to be regreased as well.
It does, however, work very well at slicing roasts and corned beef very thin and even.

No, no, no...grab a pan, coat it with oil, and just smoosh the meatloaf down into it on your stove top on medium heat...make it a skillet circle. Let it crust on the non-sauced side and flip it.

Allocated booze is the rare stuff that is doled out in small quantities to liquor stores, based on their purchases of the cheaper mass-market stuff.

I bought one from cabelas about 10-12 years ago and it works fine. Very heavy but very adjustable, I bought the middle of the road one. Not the most expensive unit but a couple steps up from their lowest price models which are cheap plastic junk. Sort of a biotch to clean but disassembly is straightforward just time consuming. I use it for my jerky meat cutting as well.

Sofrito (3 Tbspn)
Oregano (2 Tbspn)
Garlic powder (1 Tbspn)
1 teaspoon:
ground coriander
onion powder
paprika
cumin
½ cup olive oil
S&P to taste
After four hours (over night even better) make a braising liquid of 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup of water and a 1/4 cup of lime juice. Pour this into a roasting pan, add the shoulder, cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 300. 5-6 lb roast should be done in about three hours, then remove foil and blast at 400-450 for another 30 minutes to crisp up the skin.
Remove from the oven, skim fat from the braising liquid, add maybe two tbspns of cider vinegar then pour into a bowl filled with chopped parsley. This is your garnish. If the roast falls apart as you try to lift it out of the pan, you've done it correctly...

Thought I'd switch it up,
Parboil those tiny potatos 20 mins
Trim and Halve brussels sprouts (you can stop here if you don't celebrate)
Parboil them separately the last 10 mins of the taters
arrange cut side down in the roasting pan
add Salt and a splash of vinegar
Drain and drop taters with gently but not arranged.
Salt if you haven't already.
Add your beef on top and roast as usual.

In my garage is an antique hand-cranked meat slicer that my mother probably inherited from one of her aunts. She used it to slice her roast beef on the odd Sunday that dad wasn't doing steak. The blade could do with a good professional sharpening. I should take a picture of it and send it to CBD...

I had a hankering for some salmon yesterday, so got a previously frozen fillet of silver at my fish monger.
Because it was frozen, it needed some fat, so I melted some butter and threw in blackberries, lemon, a pinch of sugar and some salt.
Salt and pepper on the fish, then the blackberry sauce, oven for 10 minutes at 400.
Served with homemade coleslaw and turmeric spiked rice.
Beautiful colorful flavorful plate.
Leftover salmon will be a salmon salad sammich tomorrow. Because no one should reheat silver salmon in a microwave. Just. No.

It's a business model as old as the hills.
And to be frank. There's not a whole lot "special" other than rarity between a bottle with a run of 250 bottles and the one before it, using the same equipment and mostly the same ingredients and mash bill that sells for $65.

Take my Mexican meatloaf idea above - do salsa, guac, eggs, salt, pepper and then food process some corn chips and/or tortilla chips and mix in...use I'd just say crush, but I don't think you want the sog factor of the product in the eventual meatloaf.
Cook like you would normal meatloaf.
I'd suggest you could also use your normal gluten free fake subs...but I like to stick to suggesting real foods ideas if I can (but like, using your gluten free bread as the dry binder will also likely work for a "regular" meatloaf type)...

Oats can be gluten free, but they are an iffier gluten-free sub b/c you have to look at how they are grown. Some are 100% gluten free, and some are not...b/c some are grown right next to gluten products, so they will not say they are 100% gluten free (which will still make them fine for most folks, but not allergy or very severe intolerance folks)...
It's why when oats products say they are 100% gluten free, it's not a worthless label like "duh" - it does mean something...

Avocados are a great sub for folks that can't eat eggs. You'd be using the avocado mashed, so it needs to be riped and in almost spreadable form (thus, why guac is a nice sub in) and you want a firmer binder b/c avocado will give you less structure but more mouthfeel, so you want to combat that less structure with enough dry bind.
100 years ago, folks wouldn't have imagined half the foods we now just eat normally - but this is where creativity in cooking or screw ups (hello ice cream cone and corn flakes) come in...

This is going to be confusing, but try to keep up.
Retail price for most of the allocated bourbons are in line with their quality. The secondary market prices are often stupid. The trick is to find the allocated bourbons at stores that sell it at the retail price.
If you don't understand, I'll find a hand puppet to make you more comfortable with the big words.

Cook the ground Mirepoix the night before, and chill. Add a gelatin packet to the cream/bread crumb mix. Add the egg, then add the veggies, then the meat. Go easy on the salt in the mix. Add the bulk of the seasoning to the outside. Too much salt on the inside turns it into a cake. Use a floured, greased bread pan, covered with double foil. Turn over and knock out the loaf 30 min in. Add the glaze after a few and cook till crispy.

1. You started being aggressive first. I posted a legit question about what the guy was saying. Had you just explained what he meant, I would have agreed with him AND with you.
2. I don’t know about whisky and the whisky market? If you really believe that, then I don’t know what to say.
3. I’m not sure what’s controversial about me saying ‘X is not worth the price, it’s mostly hype.’ I say it all the time. My bet above was to compare this bourbon at whatever list price is to more commonly available bourbons at the same price.

One solution, especially after the 3rd or 4th, is to use your hands to pin the base of the glass to the table, which is probably spinning and unsteady. Then use your sonar to maneuver your mouth to the rim of the glass. After three or four attempts, you will get the hang of it. Then simply slurp, lap, and sip until you have consumed the beverage, clearing the way for the next round. I hope this helps.

1. Yes, if made from raw iron, which they are not.
2. I also saw double glass insulated cocktail glasses but they are bulkier.
Personally, if I really felt the need for them, I would go for the metal ones. We pre-chill our martini glasses in the freezer and it doesn't take us forever to finish enjoying them.

Driving back from my favorite local cigar store last week, my eyes caught the spare 12V outlet just to the right of the radio and it occurred to me that it would accommodate a wine cork. This was confirmed shortly after arriving home. (No, I did not open and consume a full bottle of wine for the cork, and anyway, shut up...)
Next, I removed the smart phone bracket from the selfie stick by unscrewing the locking collar from the stick's ball joint. The collar was narrower than the cork, but a bit of whittling from a sharp knife solved that issue. I slipped the bracket socket over cork and a couple turns of the locking collar secured it firmly to the cork.

The stem is there for temperature management of the drink. Gripping the stem allows you to drink without your skin temperature warming up the martini. Otherwise, in order to have a properly cold martini you would be tempted to gulp it down like an uncivilized savage.

The neighbors aren't close enough I can see or here them (unless they are shooting), but they are close enough to pull my dumb ass out of a snow drift when needed. Daughter and new Son-in-Law coming to visit today. Time to go put a few beverages on to chill and put the leaf in the dining table.

Two ounces of vodka-I like Costco's French imported-with a splash of a less peaty scotch, like Glenmorangie. By a splash I mean less than 1/8 of an ounce. I never measure. Stir the vodka with ice and pour into a glass before you add the scotch. Then add the olives. Not sure if the scotch "floats". It adds a taste but does not overwhelm the vodka.

Carlson and his fellow iNFleNCerZ have millions of followers on 'X' and other social media platforms. Ok, most of them are foreigners and bots, but its a following. As for actual influence? I don't know. Heinlein said something about The Crazy Years but I think we've blown right past those. It's one giant insane asylum now and we're just living in it. Heinlein was a bit loopy himself.

Becoming An American, Or Even Entering The Country Is Not A Right...It Should Be A Rare Privilege
That headline should not be controversial. In fact it should be axiomatic. For most of our history our immigration policy was to allow almost unfettered immigration with a few restrictions. Criminals, the ill and infirm, and then in the 20th century, illiterates, were not allowed into America. After World War I the immigration restrictions recognized country of origin, with the goal of keeping the ethnic character of the country about the same.
And that wasn't all! There were political restrictions created by the various immigration acts of the first part of the century after the assassination of William McKinley, trying to keep out the budding revolutionary fervor in Europe. Anarchists, socialists, simple political radicalism...all were restricted. In fact, America deported immigrants who espoused overt anti-American beliefs. But in 1990, that changed. The immigration act of that year removed most ideological restrictions, in favor of "security restrictions." And who? The usual suspects! The ACLU and other civil rights organizations, academia, and the left in Congress all agitated for relaxing political restrictions. Why is just as easily answered; keeping the post-Cold War leftists out of America was deemed to be "un-American," and in violation of our free speech rights and other civil liberties. Left unanswered was why foreigners should be afforded the rights protected by the United States Constitution! Conspicuously absent was any recognition of Islam as a malign force whose sole objective was the subjugation of the world and the creation of a global caliphate. That sounds like a security risk as well as a political risk! Naturalized but radicalized: Recent terror attacks expose glaring problems with citizenship vettingAs many increasingly argue that the U.S. immigration system is too lenient, four incidents in less than two weeks are being investigated or classified as terrorist attacks linked to Islamist extremism. Most of the alleged perpetrators are naturalized U.S. citizens. Throughout history, we have expected people who immigrated here to become assimilated to the American culture. And I think over the last 30 years or so, there's been this idea that we no longer need to do that, and this is an example of the consequences of those kinds of bad policies," Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., told Just The News. "We need to be more nimble when things are changing on the world stage, in the geopolitical realm. We need to be able to say, 'Now, wait a minute, maybe for right now, in light of the fact that we've got a war in the Middle East where we're attempting to take out the state sponsor of terrorism and free the world from the stranglehold that they've had for 47 years, should we maybe be reconsidering what we're doing in terms of bringing people into this country?'"
With all due respect (that means no respect at all, unless it is earned), we should not be "more nimble." The goal of American immigration policy should be the protection of our way of life, without any acceptance of gray areas in potential immigrants' politics or world view or adherence to a revolutionary political philosophy that use an ersatz religion to control its believers...otherwise known as Islam. The core of Islam is the creation of a world government that is antithetical to 250 years of American Exceptionalism, 2,500 years of Western culture, 2,000 years of Christianity, at least 2,000 years of Hinduism, 2,400 years of Buddhism, and 2,800 years of Judaism. It aims to achieve that through violence, and has been remarkably consistent in its application of violence for its entire history. If Western governments cannot recognize the existential risk of Islam being treated as just another religion, then all is lost. The United Kingdom is almost certainly lost already, with only the faint glimmer of hope in the Reform Party and Restore Britain Party. France is in similar straits, with its National Rally Party being actively targeted with lawfare by the ruling parties. And...sadly, Islam is not the only existential issue. The majority of the world has no concept of personal freedom and individual autonomy. They are comfortable with authoritarian governments, with the rule of law being an afterthought, with tribalism being the primary driver of social and economic behavior. It is incumbent on America to reject those attitudes and return to a rational immigration policy that raises to the pinnacle a desire to become American, with all that entails. Immigration law should be a hammer, and if deserving immigrants are denied entry, we will survive. But if the default decision is admission, we will be destroyed.

There is precedence for doing exactly that. The 1924 immigration act set quotas, banned immigration from certain places and made english language skills testing mandatory. johnson and his "great society" plan ended that and opened the flood gates of pretty much unlimited immigration again.
Unfortunately there is no way that is ever going to happen again.

Thievery also seems to be a core idea of many 3rd world citizens. There is zero respect for private property and an almost pathological desire to cheat the system(s). Maybe that is the tribalism idea that my tribe deserve better even if we have to cheat, lie, and steal from you.

It's the same shortsightedness, too.
Post-World War 1, experts said the industrial revolution was going to eliminate 90% of jobs and usher in workable socialism. Western Europe deliberately took their eyes off the ball to pursue that and we all see where they ended up. The US (and most of eastern Asia) did not. We were thus open to the fact that while jobs were eliminated by mechanization and automation, many new kinds of companies and jobs appeared as a result. That cycle repeated with computers in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, the Internet in the 1990s and 2000s, and AI will likely go the same way.

As John Adams said: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
I think the moral side of that statement is key.
Any religion that does not have a core component of morality is not compatible with a multicultural nation. Indiscriminate immigration turns the notion of a melting pot into not a mixed salad, rather into a garbage pail.

Freshman year of college -- fall of 1979 -- and one of my dorm's "suite mates" became one of my best friends (great guy, and later great American).
He was an Armenian from Iran, and his family had gotten out before things went sideways.
We were at a small liberal arts college in SoCal known for our prowess in athletics (he was a good soccer player, me in football). Anywho, he was occasionally physically threatened by other students (usually redneck-types) after our Embassy was taken hostage; me and a couple of my buddies had to surround and protect him on some occasions from a mob of ignoramuses (ignorami?).
Things finally settled down the following year after the election of Reagan ... and eventual freeing of the hostages.

Smiths other book The Theory of Moral Sentiments (7 years before Wealth) he states ‘How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it.’
He does make clear that this is a core idea in Western Civilization and Democracies. He had, my guess, already started to think about wealth, and prosperity, and freedoms (to pursue work that provides that) needed to build a good society.

- Revere the Constitution as being divinely inspired. The key point being that it places rights as coming from God, NOT man. Rights from God cannot be taken away by man (legitimately). Rights granted from man can be taken away and regularly are.
- Belief in personal responsibility and accountability
- Belief in Personal Freedom. Freedom from government coercion.
- Belief in Free Markets. Capitalism is nothing more than individuals freely choosing what to buy rather than a central power deciding what they should buy (e.g. curly light bulbs)
- Belief in a Strong National Defense
- Belief in Traditional Values
- Belief in a higher power - The Lord God

Our strength is because of our Unity, not our diversity. The diversity is a given, unlike most of the rest of the world. America is one of the few places on earth where you can become and be accepted as an American no matter where you come from. All you have to do is accept the tenets above. That doesn't happen anywhere else. You can move to France or Germany or China but you will never be accepted as a Frenchman, a German or a Chinaman.
That is the unique beauty of America and it is something to be cherished and appreciated and defended.

I doubt that the subversion and invasion of our country can be reversed by using the same system that the looters have been using to destroy this country. Something beyond that would be required. I'm not happy to say that, I'd be happy to be proven wrong, I guess we'll see.

Coming out of Israel Kan TV channel:
Kan News: Deep divisions inside Iran’s leadership over ending the war. Some officials are reportedly pushing toward a deal, while the IRGC is driving a far more hardline, pro-war stance.
Sources say decision-making behind the scenes is increasingly chaotic, with no clear authority since Ali Khamenei’s death and Mojtaba Khamenei’s influence still uncertain, especially after his reported injury.

They have traditionally pointed to incidents in WW2 where Jewish refugees were refused asylum, ignoring the fact that the American government greatly expanded Jewish immigration during that time frame, expanding quotas in light of the persecution of Jews in Europe.

Hey, dick, you know that groups like the KKK and whatever fucked-up organizations you probably belong to can issue press releases and post articles to spew any horseshit they want. Only a complete fucking dullard would extrapolate that into saying an entire religion or race believes those things.
Let's face it... you just are not very bright. I pity you, and your family.

Yup, accurate analysis, and isn't it cool that now those "successes" they had are now being decimated?
Who really cared about their "Navy"? In fact, it's hard to even seriously use that word to define the "surface and submerged targets" they had?
Because that's what they have always been...merely targets.

"Jews"' are not a monolithic group. A lot of them are left-oriented in the US, and there is a hard-left faction in Israel that sounds downright suicidal to me.
We have this general problem in the US -- so many leftists working to destroy what we have, and it's so hard to talk them out of it -- impossible even.

Book Thread: (03/15/2026) [JTB]
Welcome to my attempt at a thread on AOSHQ. CBD asked if I would be willing to try a couple of book threads and that got me thinking. The Horde is so varied and interesting in their reading habits. This is a chance to ask a few questions about reading that intrigue me. So here goes.
Sorry the man, to my mind, who has not in his own home a place to be all by himself, to pay his court privately to himself, to hide.-- Michel de Montaigne Was this the first man cave? The idea is certainly pleasant and one I've sought most of my life. What would you include in your reading space? (BTW, it probably helped to be a wealthy 16th century French aristocrat to make a place like that.) I've always liked this painting, 'The Bookworm' by Carl Spitzweg, circa 1850. This could be me, except I don't like ladders. It's so typical that reading one book makes me dig out five others.
WARNING: A lot of single and double quote marks have been used in this segment.
There's a book coming out in March, "The Real Shakespeare" by Irene Coslet. She 'proves' that Shakespeare was actually a Jewish woman of north African descent living in Venice (Italy not California). The book blurb on Amazon says "Generations of researchers have tried to dismantle the myth of the Stratford man. Now, in this intriguing and well-documented book, Irene Coslet conclusively demonstrates that Shakespeare was a not a man, but a woman: a dark-skinned lady, of Jewish origin, born into a family of Court musicians from Venice" One review describes Coslet as a "feminist historian" who claims that the true author (authoress?) is Emilia Bassano and this 'fact' was buried under "western-centric ideology". The examples of her proof mentioned in reviews make "Chariots of the Gods" look like hard science. Bassano, later Emilia Lanier after marrying an Englishman, may well have been a remarkable woman. So are many of the Ettes in the Horde. Doesn't mean they wrote Hamlet or Macbeth. This level of 'woke' is both tiresome and irritating. And the publisher has the brass-plated gall to charge $36.95 for this 200 page screed. I assume, and hope, it will be remaindered in record time. I find the arguments about who wrote Shakespeare to be intellectual (maybe) curiosity and speculation. Or masturbation. (I suspect some is just academic snobbery.) Because even if it wasn't a glove maker's son turned actor, the plays and sonnets still exist and their perceptions, glorious words, and emotional connections with humanity have continued for four centuries. Feel free to disagree. Is there any one book that made you a life long reader? For me it was Treasure Island with the Wyeth illustrations. I think I was in second grade and kept a dictionary at hand to deal with the many new words. The challenge and difficulty were part of the attraction. It was the first time I realized how words alone could paint a picture in my head and then come to life. A first step into true book nerdom. I'm noticing more articles and YT videos about how physical media, books, DVDs, CDs and so forth are increasingly popular as an alternative to streaming and digital everything. The stories point to increased sales, the success of the revitalized Barnes and Noble stores, and a general preference to own (and control) the materials. These stories appeal to me partly because I didn't grow up with digital versions, which didn't exist, and partly because I don't trust the 'gatekeepers' of the digital world. I don't know if they are true or just a continuation of LPs are better than CDs attitude. Anyone else noticed this one way or another? What I've been reading: LOTR (of course) -my 60th annual rereading. The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition, Volume I: The Ancient World and Christendom - usually a few pages at a time since the topics lead to endless rabbit holes. But too interesting to abandon for long. Luis Melendez: Master of the Spanish Still Life - His still life paintings are so well done and appealing. I can get lost studying one image and reading about how he achieved it. I find looking at the works of painters I admire to be soothing and a welcome distraction from all the crap news that tries to bury us. Books I've acquired just because they appear to be fun reads to have on hand. I often learned about these books from the book thread. Route 66 A. D.: On The Trail of Ancient Roman Tourists by Tony Perrottet Poplollies and Bellibones: A Celebration of Lost Words by Susan Kelz Sperling The Adventures of Tom Bombadil edited by Christina Scull and Wayne Hammond - This is an expanded version of the mid-60s edition. I had that but it disintegrated from use so I splurged. Hope everyone has a great week of reading.Comments

Wonder what kind of books he has on his shelves? I expect a lot of Western classics, as in Greek philosophy, Roman history, maybe some studies of law, religious philosophers....I don't expect there's much light reading in there.

Switch the marbles for an assortment of people vying to find a missing gold statuette, and the tray for the Greater New York area, and you have "Dancing Aztecs" by Donald Westlake. This is a funny, tricky, and absolutely satisfying book.
I thought I had spoiled the story when I was flipping through the book to see how many pages it contained, but fortunately that wasn't the case.
Westlake holds that NYC casts magic over people. Maybe in the '70s, but now? I think he would cry.
************
Somebody posted last week that eBay has bargains for book hunters. I agree. I just picked up a lot of 10 Westlake hardbacks for less than $10 each. So much for THAT New Year's resolution.

One question…does Welsh have any say in how his books are marketed? “Porno”, “Filth”, “Skagboys” and others have the least appealing cover art possible, designed to repel not attract readers. Hilarious books but jeez, reading them out in the general population does tend to scare off others.

Mr. Wagher's Parallel Multiverse was created by a having a botched time travel experiment in the 24th century randomly toss people across time and dimensions, so they wind up in alternate timelines and get to cope with their new circumstances. It sounds dumb when you say it out loud, but it results in some pretty good page-turning adventure stories.

But people have been arguing about the identity of Shakespeare since the middle of the 18th century. It started out as somewhat of an obscurantist pastime, devolved into a parlor game and now, IMO, is a truly dangerous pursuit seeking to erase the achievement of a white, Christian, heterosexual man in favor of the current woke category of the oppressed.

I also re-read the rules for GDW's Persian Gulf game from 1986. Still haven't worked up the energy to play it, but the maps are laid out. I had the first two games in the Third World War series and they got lots of use back in the day. I picked this up a few years ago when Iraq had wound down and these were going cheap. There are fancy reprints with updated graphics which I hate. Give me basic 80s graphics.
Bedtime reading is of course Unfinished Tales, my go-to book to help me sleep. I read "Of Tuor and His Coming to Gondolin."

Per my post and Bryce's comment 14 about RLS and Wyeth illustrations. A few years ago Abbeville Press released a gorgeous slip case edition of Treasure Island and Kidnapped with the Wyeth illustrations. I lusted for it but figured I already have decent copies. Finally gave in to the temptation and glad I did. Clothbound hard covers, sturdy case, excellent binding and paper quality and print size. And the illustrations are beautifully printed. Books that are a pleasure to hold while reading enhance the whole experience.

One can definitely trace a line of influence from Dorsai! to Lois McMaster Bujold's books about Miles Vorkosigan. I wonder if Bujold read about Dickson's protagonist Donal Graeme and wondered "how would people _really_ react to someone who is always insufferably right about everything -- and what if he wasn't always right after all?"

Much of academia is Gnostic. They no longer use facts and evidence but instead proclaim deeper, intuitive mysteries that pervious scholars were unable to access because of their sex or skin color.
The old stereotype was a bunch of nerds arguing in Latin about Vergil vs Homer, but now it's just impenetrable largely made-up jargon that is meaningless in the real world. I would argue that this is partly why they are so comfortable with chaos around them - their minds are already full of it.

FBI agent Carrie Swanson is assigned to investigate, and finds that the remains are female and only a few years old. As they delve into the case, the pair find that the dead woman was a former archeology student, and that her professor had been taking his students into this area on several occasions, and more than one of them is missing. While they investigate, another former student is found alive in the desert, holding lightning stones and trying to reach a remote outcrop.
What they reveal is that an ancient tribe known as the Gallina lived in the region and were believed to be sorcerers by the other tribes. The Gallina used lightning stones in their rituals to summon their spiritual warriors. The indians of the Chaco valley exterminated the Gallina tribe hundreds of years ago. Has the old magic resurrected this tribe?

It falls into the same line of reasoning that Beethoven was black and so was Cleopatra. Doesn't matter that contemporaries made images and described them, that's part of the coverup, you see.

This got me thinking about Trump and Roosevelt and how many parallels in life they share.
They were both second sons born to iconic NY families.
Both became heir apparent to their families fortune and titles when the first born in each case succumbed to alcoholism.
They both ran for President as outsiders in their own parties
They were both targets of DC "insiders" trying to protect their grift
They both (miraculously) survived assassination attempts during primary speeches. (Roosevelt was saved when his folded over speech in his breast pocket stopped the bullet. Teddy finished his speech in a blood stained shirt.)
I'm sure there is more, butI find this interesting.

Over Christmas break in 1990, we linked Battle for Germany and Southern Front together and because the Wall had just fallen, we made the Pact start in Poland. We did it with teams: three NATO commanders, two for the Pact. I was in charge of the Central Front. It went poorly, because of the ticking clock you referenced. My opposite number was giddy because he was able to stop me on the "old" frontier almost across the line.
However, he had overlooked the fact that I had quietly shifted all of my airmobile units and a bunch of my best aircraft to the Balkans, and my colleague was tearing things up, forcing the Bosporus and penetrating into northern Italy. The game was technically a draw, but I loved the idea of Russians in Milan.
We set up a ladder over the middle of the table so that people could take a moment to view the "satellite picture" of the entire front, which was epic. Later on I did a Yugoslav Devolution scenario using Southern Front counters.

A year after the sinking the raft washes up on the shore of the Island of Montserrat, over 2,000 miles from the sinking. The unraveling of the mystery of what really happened has a nice twist and a satisfactory ending. A really good read.

I don't say man cave because first of all, it sounds both juvenile and homosexual to me, and secondly because it's not that. Anyone is free to come in whenever I please, and I even set up a separate, good workstation for the wife and kids.
But the fact is, wives and children aren't too interested in sitting at a computer, and they don't often have to, so they rarely do. And the room is very clearly for grown men, with bookshelves and firearms and masculine art all over the place. Chicks and kids have a natural aversion to great stuff like that.
My youngest does go out there frequently because she looooves her daddy, but that's why I put a TV in there - I anticipated that so I installed that, and I keep some blankets and toys for her on the couch.
But when I say I need to be left alone in there to concentrate or just relax for a couple hours, that is generally respected. And the door locks, if it ever isn't, for some reason.

The one that turned me to the true mystery would probably be the Roy Rogers novel Ghost of Mystery Rancho from the late Forties. Roy, a young Texas Ranger, battles and tries to uncover the identity of a murderous bandit who wears a skeleton costume and mask, so that no one, even his men, knows who he is. Reading it again a few years ago, I was struck by its narrative speed and energy, and the neatly-concealed solution to the mystery.

Being a fan of mechanical timepieces, it is fascinating to see how watchmakers going back two hundred years developed what are called complications. Complications were mechanical means to add features such as dates and moon phases to timepieces. There were some incredibly complicated features that were made to watches and clocks many years ago.

On a lark I checked with my library and found it available via audiobook on the Libby app. It was five hours long and I listened to it mostly while commuting.
I would give it a rating of 6.5 out of 10.
I had to install a vulgarity filter and it was necessary to clean said filter at least twice in the first half of the book. After about the first hour he seemed to leave the four letter words behind stay focused on the pop psychology self-help message.
He reinforced a lot of principles I've already embraced from another author I much prefer: John Eldredge, who comes from a much different world view.
I'm not sorry I listened to it, but wouldn't do so again.

I admit, though, that for all its virtues, Ghost has plot holes big enough to ride Trigger through. Doesn't matter. It sent me looking for more mysteries, Western or not, which years later led me to Rex Stout, Ellery Queen, and John Dickson Carr.

Lets think about the other types of crime the Hardy Boys could stop. Sex traffic and prostitution? Murder-for-hire? Drug dealers? Child molesters? Pornographers? All taboo subjects, so it had to be smugglers.
Having the Hardy Boys go undercover as jazz musicians to bust up a heroin ring would be cool, though. Especially the part where they wear blackface so they can join the band.

But people have been arguing about the identity of Shakespeare since the middle of the 18th century. It started out as somewhat of an obscurantist pastime, devolved into a parlor game and now, IMO, is a truly dangerous pursuit seeking to erase the achievement of a white, Christian, heterosexual man in favor of the current woke category of the oppressed.

I haven't reread it recently, but I believe David McDaniel's last and unpublished Man From U.N.C.L.E. novel, The Final Affair, mentions Frank and Joe's father, private detective Fenton Hardy!
McDaniel loved doing that. In the same book he mentions Saul Panzer from the Nero Wolfe series; and in an earlier work he has Solo mention Rusterman's restaurant, the one Wolfe's oldest friend Marko Vukcic established in NYC.

I've been on a Lawrence Block binge lately. Specifically, continuing with the Matthew Scudder series. Currently reading "A Dance at the Slaughterhouse," which is quite dark. Subject matter is pederasty and snuff porn, and law looking the other way. I'm near the end, and it looks like Scudder is going to mete out the justice himself.
I digress. One of the thinks I love about Block is how he weaves his story using casual conversation and banter. Just pulls me in, as if I'm sitting at the table listening to him tell his stories with his friends.

Since they were older -- college age, right? -- and had cars, I found them much more interesting (for a while) than reading about kids my age then (9-10). I always identified with adults in fiction more than I did with kids. Even Heinlein's hero in Have Space Suit -- Will Travel was a high school boy. And I certainly loved reading about Sherlock Holmes (not only not a kid, but not even of my country or century) and James Bond.

Notably, although most of my ebook purchases come through Amazon, I bought this book from Barnes and Noble. Because B&N had the price just as low, because I want there to be a viable alternative to Amazon, and because my Nook Glowlight 4 is a better device than my (admittedly old) Kindle Paperwhite. The Glowlight has some physical button on the side of the device that turn pages, rather than just relying on the touchscreen. It's a small detail, but it dramatically improves the reading experience.

I recently learned of a new one: "Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, a Prose Rendering: A Text-Faithful Translation of the 1590s Epic Poem". Haven't had the chance to start reading it yet but it is a beautiful three volume, slipcase edition. Again, quality binding and paper, wonderful original illustrations (think Alan Lee LOTR quality), and a pleasure to hold. I start reading it this week and plan to have a copy of the poem from Penguin Classics at hand to compare. A completely nerdy thing to do, but 'mine own'.

Within the first few pages of Advance Britannia, Churchill's advisers and cabinet are fretting that the entry of the US into the war will render England either a satrapy of the USSR or an American-owned protectorate.
They were also concerned about Japan attacking the US, because it necessarily meant any American aid would be siphoned off to wage war in the Pacific and render the European conflict a longer, bloodier one.

I've always been a reader. I know I started with Nancy Drew and Cherry Ames, Nurse but then it was anything and everything. History, fantasy, classics. Later I discovered romance novels. I like most of you I only vaguely remember most of them. They have to make a huge impact like Tolkien, Heinlein, recently Sanderson and yes, Shakespeare.
Think about how different his plays are. Historical, Romantic, magical. I like them all except,the ones where a girl pretends to be a boy. lol

I used C.C. "Bud" Baxter and Fran Kubelik, in 1964 married and with a small daughter, as the "Innocent" characters in one of my U.N.C.L.E. fan stories. With any luck I managed to capture Bud's ca. 1960 corporate-speak ("I'm pretty familiar with that sort of thing, liar-wise, that is").

There has to be some, although I can't think of any either. Just thinking about tv westerns, like Tales of Wells Fargo, where the lead does detective work, there ought to be some. Hopalong Cassidy has a couple where you don't know who the real bad guys are and he has to figure it out could be one. Oh, how about that Ghost Roy Rogers book. Seems to fit, doesn't it?

Agreed. I read most of the Matthew Scudder books. I found him less interesting when he went on the wagon.

To me the interest remains in the later stories, because the unspoken suspense there is: Will Matt go back to drinking? Eventually in the series his sober life settled down, but for the first few books after his time began with AA, there was still that little worry.

Walt Kelly did some wonderful parodies of 1960s ad-man speak ("run it up the flagpole and see who salutes") in a storyline about Howland Owl and Seminole Sam persuading Pogo to run for president (I forget the year; it might have been 1956). He also did a standalone story, The Man From Suffern-on-the Steppes, which had Owl, Albert, Porkypine and Churchy LaFemme as ad-men in the USSR.

It's a pity that we don't have a Moron Book Center. What I mean is a location to which we could send books we no longer wanted and could take out ones that we did, either to read or to keep. Of course, someone would have to staff it and put out a catalogue.

Those books are the best! Find goldbug!
I don't think it was one book, it was simply that we always had books, made regular trips to the library where we could check out as many books as we could carry home in our bags (maybe a 1 mile walk?).

When I was twelve, Mom (who worked nights as a private duty nurse) decided my brother, age eight, and I could be left sans babysitter. I don't know if the black woman who'd been watching us had raised her price, or decided she didn't want to work for no white woman watching no white kids (I don't remember much about her at all). But what Mom did was not illegal then. And we were good, responsible kids.

I bought this ages ago thinking I might want to take up archery as a hobby; I ran across the book in my reference shelf last week and decided to read it, and if it was any good to offer it to a friend of mine who does do archery.
It’s dense with information on how to shoot, and how to build your kit. Wonderful full-page diagrams of bows of various kinds to help you build them. Almost made me want to revisit my decision not to take up archery as a hobby and dump something else instead. I mean, who needs hobo porn, really?

Also enjoyed every book in the Hardy Boys series. I was probably about 10 or so, and at that age, the idea of having a famous detective for a Dad, a great looking gal as a girlfriend, and solving interesting mysteries with a little danger involved in my free time was pretty appealing.
Also, along similar lines I have a full collection of Chip Hilton sports novels. Still read through them every few years or so. I thought it would be awesome to be a superstar athlete in every sport in high school and college and have an athletic complex in my back yard at home.

The reality is that the ill and mis-educated people being turned out today have no reason to study a foreign language unless they plan to live or work in an area they will need to know one. A ditch digger or paperpusher won't interact much with people of the world, unless their area has been overrun with foreigners that the politicians bend over for. I can see the case for eliminating that requirement.
Posted by: OrangeEnt at March 15, 2026 10:57 AM (1Ff7Z)
In my case, a page of French. I've never really had the patience to sit down with a book and a foreign language dictionary and start reading. Think I remember references from Henry Miller and a couple more of the expats learning some French that way. There are a number of untranslated Simenons or translated books that have been out of print for years.
Just for giggles, I pulled a copy of one in French from one of the 'archive' sites and ran it through Google's free translation service. It did the translation in under a minute. Makes interesting reading. You can follow the story, mostly, but some of the translation is pretty awkward (Simenon is seldom awkward) and it's almost like the translation software has been told not to use masculine pronouns too heavily, so the he and she references don't always match up as they should which throws you out of the story for a minute.
Anyone else tried this? How'd it go?

With my background in Spanish -- I studied it from high school into college -- and my knowledge of that car model and cars in general, I've often thought it would be a fun project to sit down and write out a translation.

Reading "The Boxcar Children" left a real impression on young me. It was the first time I encountered a retcon/reboot/corporate interreference in a series. I read the series from the beginning, and saw the characters grow up and mature. The original teenage-protagonists became adults and aged-out of the story, and the pre-teen tag-along kids aged into teenagers and became the new teenage-protagonists. But then, all of a sudden, new books came out that took place in the past, with the original protagonists de-aged and without any of the growing up they had gone through.
I don't remember if the later stories were bad or anything, I just remember being shocked by their appearance.

Spanish is the default "foreign language" at what will be my daughter's high school. I took four years of Spanish at that high school... and never used it, despite living in Texas for three years. The dirty little secret that no one wants to acknowledge is that the masses that came over the border in the last ten years were illiterate peasants and gangbangers. We refuse to make our daughter learn a useless language.

I love reading about possible casting choices for roles we think of as iconic and inevitable.
For Leia, Lucas wanted 13-year-old Jodie Foster but she was signed on to make "Freaky Friday". 14-year-old Terri Nunn, soon to be lead vocalist of Berlin, was also being considered. Ultimately it was down to future Randy Andy paramour Koo Stark and Carrie Fisher.
Fox wanted Al Pacino to play Han Solo (!!!!!). Christopher Walken was also in the running.
Mark Hammel riffed off Harrison Ford the best but Lucas still wanted to hire an unknown for Han Solo, and Ford had been in "American Graffiti".
The celebrity following the movie's release was swift and dramatic. "Months earlier, Ford had been a stoner-carpenter dad who could barely get an acting job. Michelle Phillips, of the mamas & Papas, went to see Star Wars anwd leapt out of her seat when Han Solo appeared on screen.
"That's my pot dealer!" She yelled out.

This sounds, too, very much like sitcoms of the '50s and '60s, where misunderstandings, sometimes willful, drive the plot -- and one person simply asking a crucial question would explode it all.
Shakespeare used the "girl pretends to be a boy" plot in other plays too, like Twelfth Night. It helped that only male actors were allowed on stage then, so a male actor playing a girl character could easily pose as male.

It is a really interesting concept. The main character walks through a labyrinth goes through a gate and ends up in three different places. He has become Synchronus, split into 3, in order to prevent a cataclysm which has happened before over the centuries. He has to find the Evil one who causes this and do away with him.
He has different strengths and weaknesses in each of the three places. Each society has some of the original but also different dangers. He has a guide in each place to help but needs to figure out his task.
Like the first book, completely unique in concept. Highly recommended even though I'm not done.

AHE,
It offers more Middle-Earth related poems as well as the original ones and commentary about them. It still uses the Pauline Baynes illustrations from the 1963 edition which I also have. (And yes, it is dusty.) Not strictly needed but it is a nice furthering of the original without getting too bogged down in minutia.

To a geologist, the above makes no sense. "Prasiolite" is a tem for a green-tinted variety of quartz crystals, sold as a gem. Most of the "prasiolite" in the marketplace is Brazilian amethyst, turned green by heat treatment or irradiation.

For those who are intrigued by Spenser or his book, but have trouble with the original, you might take a look at the new version. The title is "Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, a Prose Rendering: A Text-Faithful Translation of the 1590s Epic Poem" by Rebecca Reynolds as author/translater. It's available from Amazon for about $75, and through other outlets. You might be able to buy from the publisher, Sky Turtle Press, but I couldn't find any links to do so in a brief search.

Thanks for the info. I've been intrigued by Spenser's The Faerie Queene ever since my professor pointed out a copy in the Bancroft Library at U.C. Berkeley. I was taking a History of Science class and we were there to see a book belonging to Isaac Newton with his notes in the margin as well as some of the editions of Galileo that got him into trouble.

I have been interested in reading that, and perhaps Volume II because that covers the Western tradition to the present day.
Posted by: Joemarine at March 15, 2026 02:26 PM (y171U)
For those who might fear the new prose edition of "The Faerie Queene" might be a woke version of the original (particularly considering the significant moral and religious themes of the original), I saw nothing from Ms. Reynolds during the kickstarter campaign or after to suggest that possibility, and what I've read so far in the book also doesn't seem to be following a woke path.
Also, Ms. Reynolds and Malcolm Guite seem, at the very least, to be professional friends who share common interests in literature, poetry, and themes of faith and "Faerie" (almost a direct quote from Google AI for what it's worth). Guite encouraged Reynolds' "Fairie Queene" project, and has commented favorable on the finished work. Reynolds posted a bit on the kickstarter pages regarding her connections with Guite, but I can't find the specific posts I remember (honestly, the only reason I remember them at all is because some of the posters here have favorably mentioned Guite) and don't remember specifics. Anyway, from all I've read about him I doubt Guite would recommend a subversive version of Spenser's book.

The stuff buried in library stacks and cold storage can be fascinating, and imagine what you might find if you could dig through older European libraries.
Like your Newton's notes, a historian, I think it was Geoffrey Parker, once mentioned finding in the Spanish Archives reports to King Philip II of Spain from his Viceroys in the Americas; those reports were the originals of the reports and still had annotations in Philip's own hand that were used to prepare the King's formal responses to those reports.
I hope that academic librarians in Europe and the Americas are taking care to preserve and copy those old records, but I'm not confident anyone is actually working on that rather than advancing the SJW cause. Otherwise lots of history will be lost.
I've done a bit of research into the history of the British Raj and the various princely states and Presidencies. Some records are available and can be quite detailed (for example, the pay records for the Sikh army for selected years in the 1830s and 40s are available), but lots of records from Ranjet Singh's Sikh Empire in the Punjab appear to have disappeared during and after the partition of India and Pakistan.

Who knew:
I recommend "Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare: A Guide to Understanding and Enjoying the Works of Shakespeare," as a great guide to the plays and the period's culture, language and knowledge history (whether accurate or not, his history of Richard III is very Tudor influenced) that assist in understanding Shakespeare. There are, however, three problems with the Asimov book: 1. IIRC, it doesn't cover all of his plays, 2. It doesn't contain the full text of the plays, it merely quotes the specific text form the play that Asimov will be explaining, so an inexpensive complete edition of Shakespeare's play would provide context to the parts quoted in Asimov's book, 3. Asimov sometimes fails to distinguish his opinions from actual facts. It was first published yonks ago, but has been reprinted several times since and good quality used or even new additions are easily available.

BTW, if if you want to see his plays performed, in addition to the usual Branagh and the like, I'd recommend two different and unusual choices:
#1. The BBC filmed the Lancaster/York historical plays under the overall title of "The Hollow Crown as two sets. The first has Richard II & Henry IV, and the second has Henry V, Henry VI, & Richard III (with all parts, i.e. Henry VI, for example, was written in two parts). I have watched all but Richard III and highly recommend them-I haven't watched Richard III yet because Richard/Glouster is played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the series and he chewed the scenery so much as Glouster in earlier play that I will have to screw my courage to the sticking place in order to watch him in Richard.
#2. The very silly version of Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" starring The Flying Karamazov Brothers, Avner the Excentric and a host of others. The play's two pairs of twin brothers are played by Karamazovs, with much juggling and silliness. Broadcast by PBS,it was unavailable except for bootlegs. It's now available on two or more ewetube channels-search for Flying Karamazov Comedy of Errors.

Daily Tech News 15 March 2026
Top Story
- Montana's Governor Greg Gianforte has signed into law the state's Right to Compute Act, the first legislation of its kind. (Western MT News)
Before you celebrate, the bill is the worst kind of waffly bullshit, forbidding the government from infringing on fundamental rights unless it really wants to.
I think they've spent too much time next door to Canada and the government needs to institute a hundred-mile decommunised zone.
Still doing better than Australia where our government threatened at one point to legislate against inconvenient arithmetic.
- Whether you have a right or not you can't do much computed on a MacBook Pro 14 with an M5 Max CPU. (Notebook Check)
It looks great on paper but it throttles down to less than half power within two seconds. If you want the high-end processor the only viable option is the 16 inch model.
Tech News
- Studies show that productivity gains from AI for typical office workers amount to as little as 16 minutes per week. (Nerds.XYZ)
I'm not a typical office worker, but I get more out of it just from using it as a better search engine. Watching Grok and ChatGPT discard dozens of useless results from Google before finding the right answer is... I don't know. Satisfying, in a strange way.
- Latency numbers every programmer should know but most don't. (GitHub)
Interesting that from the original version in 2012 to this 2020 update, the quoted SSD latency improved by a factor of 10 - from 150 microseconds to 16. And disk seeks from 10 milliseconds to 2, which has got to be measuring cache effects, because that would mean the disk would be spinning at 30,000 rpm.
- Just how much responsibility do AI chatbots and the companies that create them hold for psychotic people acting psychotically? (Tech Crunch)
I'm torn between bankrupting the companies and bankrupting the lawyers bringing these suits.
Both is good.
- Elon Musk plans to launch the Terafab project - his own chip manufacturing facility - next week. (WCCFTech)
Of course it's going to take years before anything can come online even if he can secure the required tools from ASML, which is a single source for top-end chip manufacturing equipment.
He has said that he plans to reach production in excess of 100 billion chips per year, though exactly what chips and in what time frame he has not yet specified.
- ASRock's new H610M Combo II motherboard is just like the earlier H610M combo only worse. A lot worse. (WCCFTech)
The H610M Combo featured two slots for DDR4 memory and four slots for DDR5, though you could only have one or the other.
The Combo II cuts that down to one slot for DDR5 and two slots for DDR5, which is kind of broken. If you have DDR5 you don't need the DDR4 slot, and if you don't you're stuck with a quarter of the bandwidth.

Nothing gory, but we were examining a marble vault when it levitated a foot in front of us and settled back down, and Lorelai gave out with a "Whoa!!!" (Note to self: No more watching Gilmore Girls and Svengoolie on the same night.)

Huh. I wonder if there's some social mechanism where a big enough account doesn't actually get many followers, because anything they post automatically gets reposted by someone you're already following anyway, so there's no point in following directly.

Due to the over-expensive components, there's gonna be a LOT of underpowered crap sold on the market in the next few years in two categories:
1. Specifications will be disclosed, it'll just be less than you want, or less than you can afford, and you'll convince yourself to settle, but you won't be really happy with it if you try to do something computationally intensive.
2. Scams. The specs will look great. You'll get "Potato inside". Caveat emptor.

Not to rage at you directly, m, but i'm getting good and tired of these little anti-jingoist bludgeonspeak phrases like "boots on the ground" and "war in the Middle East" as if every ceteris was exactly and perfectly paribus.
Is *this* path of action the correct one? Does it matter if another path of action taken years ago was completely different except for the fact that it involved the United States and some arbitrary 25% of the Earth's land area? Must everything be distilled into knee-jerk catch-phrases?
"Boots on the ground". Feh. I don't want boots on the ground. I want boots on throats.

69 "King" was not the guy's real name and the shooting occurred earlier this week... via CBS --
Images obtained by CBS News Texas show King standing close to Crockett at events and on the campaign trail during her recent run for a U.S. Senate seat. Sources say he oversaw teams of security officers at several downtown Dallas hotels and at his church.
Law enforcement sources also say King drove a replica undercover police vehicle and used license plates stolen from cars outside a military recruiting office. His background – which sources say includes a criminal history – raises questions about how he managed extra‑duty jobs for police officers and secured a high‑level security role for a sitting member of Congress.
Documents obtained by CBS News Texas show a person named Mike King received payments for "security services" from Crockett as recently as last year.

Claim; Tucker has been communicating directly with the Ayatollahs government for some time, including giving them info on secret conversations with high level Trump officials; and also that Trump knew this, it had been exposed,
But rather than confront or arrest him, Trump was him. 2 days before the strikes started, Trump privately told Tucker that there were no imminent attacks planned, and that the US wanted to keep negotiating. Tucker ran and passed this on to Iranian leadership, giving them the confidence needed to have all the top men meet on a Saturday morning, which allowed Trump and Israel to take out over 40 leaders in a single strike.
So Tucker’s treachery was used by Trump to help give the Iranian leaders enough confidence to make a stupid mistake.

As a casual observation, it seems like every bad meme is a perfect opportunity for a good meme. A meme, like any good comedy, is rooted at least to some extent in truth. The "left" can't meme, because the left can't truth. (I'd say the defining characteristic of what we call "the left" is really the fact that they have abandoned truth and reality, in some hipsterish post-post-modern need to always embrace The Opposite, hence my trying to make "ontoclast" a word. They want to smash existence itself.)

AI will do best at first in places where mistakes don't matter like six fingered pictures, music, animated shorts, etc. It is also serving hackers with new ways to try to crack security.
It won't do well in the short run with financial institutions, utilities, airlines, nor any other place where security and reliability is paramount. It is not ready for prime time in those applications.

Algorithms promoting engagement don't really care what engagement they promote. You can play whack a mole with automated review but then the automated review ends up flagging too much of your customer base, so you lessen its sensitivity. Then new issues come up which causes more issues and then the endless reporting content causes more. Then there are the sinister types trying to psyop the population or specific parts of the population.
I think machine learning can be useful to those with sufficient tools of prior good education and knowledge base and with a skeptical thinking capacity to understand when it hallucinating, when its statements are factually dubious, and when it is engaging in groupthink.

A lot of the scummy types, like Charles Guiteau who assassinated Garfield, float around and are paid for by campaign cash. Most offices have higher standards for staffers and people work there for a time to either get seniority and power by proxy internally, or they go to the agencies for permanence in the bureaucracy or go to K Street for the money. NGOs and their formation is another grift.
Campaign organizations though are a different critter, kind of like brine shrimp in the desert. Every two, four, or six years, they make bank at elections, then spend the rest of the time doing things like registering voters, creating poll worker training, etc. often at the behest of party associated NGOs. Especially the Dems.
The Dems have a whole floating campaign staff paid for by money pilfered from the public and provided by obscure dark money groups. Dirty deeds done dirt cheap indeed.

LOL, yes. I've worked for the House, and worked in campaigns at the local, state, and federal levels in my past. My secret shame. But, as I said, campaign organization are spun up and then spun down just for elections--the Democrats have these armies of paid types that do other politically tinged ops during the off season--paying them to protest and meet, show up at campaign rallies as audiences, register voters including non existent or illegal applicants, collect petitions for initiatives and referenda, serve as pressure groups at government meetings (like gay pron in school), etc.
The GOP floaters either go back to college, lobbying, etc. but are reabsorbed into the private economy. The left keeps their footsoldiers employed all the time so they can serve as needed where and when they are needed.

And the defenders of Me Again get to fight with the haters, and cha ching!, Me Again gets more engagement, on social platforms meaning more coin.
C) There is suspicion that some of these media personalities are actually represented by the same talent agencies and thus coordinate messaging.

I think she may have mentioned it in context of leftists but I would have to check her various accounts. I don't think she sleeps much.
But the whole talent agency repping is a wide open secret. In some cases, the person is just a figure head drawing a check while the talent agency runs the account including posting. Those agencies also promote their 'talent' to each other, hire bots/paid commenters to boost and amplify via the algorithms, and so on.
Public relations meets talent representation. Basically the same setup with Hollyweird where the actors all have handlers from the talent agencies including their politics, commercials, stories about personal life, etc., aimed at promoting the actor as a brand name.

The real question should be - why are search engines shovelling up such useless information? How much of that useless information was vomited up by AI and parked on cheap hosting? How much of the other useless information was vomited up by scripts in the past just plastering content from elsewhere, incorrect and outdated information usually? And why is it still being raised to the first page of results?
Search has been a severe victim of the enshittification of the Internet.

Post-modern, or pre-historic? The trannies are crypto-iconoclasts, since God made them in His image. There's a lot of the First Lie going around, that you can be like your own god, building your own tower to Heaven, making your own paradise on Earth through your two hands, making humans Good through the product of your own mental work -- Davos Man is Soviet Man is Babel Man is Eden Man, a silly little clay golem with delusions of adequacy. Their egos cannot let go of that lie; they can never forgive Jesus of Nazareth for their inability to save themselves; so, every day is Opposite Day.

But it sounds like what he hopes to do is catch that wind-fall that happens when some unknown relative dies and leaves you a fortune over $7M that you would normally be happy ovea your luck - then he captures 50% of that and it becomes "meh" for you.

You want good searches, you pay for it. The web got people expecting stuff for free and someone had to pay for it. Originally, it was the investors as tech companies lost money initially but as these matured, they made bank by taking over ad revenues from TV, radio, and newspapers and destroyed the Yellow Pages monopoly as well.
So now you have AI searching built on a foundation of whatever public data they can scrape or buy from this early version of the web and as much private content as they can get away with stealing.
Still true though if you want the best search results, you gotta pay for it via subscription, etc.

I like that I can ask Grok something that I'm not sure I remember exactly and it'll understand what I was getting at a large majority of the time.
The real question should be - why are search engines shovelling up such useless information?
Google famously laid off the Ph.Ds who ran search circa 2018 and replaced them with monetization experts with Hah-vuhd MBAs. This is why I hate cutesy lefty terms like "enshittification": reality is far more mundane, and you should call things what they actually are, not what they want you to.

You can get good information still from the web depending on the subject, but you have to curate people and certain websites to do it. You cannot rely on page rank (Google) anymore as the top entries are likely to be the paid ones.
Same with Amazon--Amazon found they could make more via advertising and selling the top product search links, than they did selling and shipping the product itself. That is why chinesium slop products are often the top listings which you have to waste your time burrowing down the lists to find something reliable.

In every single society, prior to America in the 20th century. This is a weird in recent phenomenon.
In Roman society, for instance, it wasn't just prostitutes. Actors had a lower legal status than them, but technically higher than slaves. In practical terms though, a good, expensive Greek household slave in the City lived better and enjoyed more social status than them. Hell, even an enslaved Gallic bodyguard did.
Everyone condescended to actors - even the chattels of wealthy men.

Grifter cliques (including socialists and Muhammadans) cannot take a joke, since there is an inherent fragility to pushing a confidence scheme, hoping no one points out how to see through it. Sometimes I miss charming grifters, of which Milo may be one of the last extant examples, but that just makes him more dangerous; the flip side of our society's heavy parasitic load is the benefit that they've mostly degenerated to mediocre drones, who are unfit to shine the shoes of their predecessors and cannot adjust on the fly as the environment changes.

Yeah. Yesterday I tried to find an article that put into context the millions spent by Hegseth for lobster tails and steaks. To win an argument on another blog. No luck after 5 minutes of trying, on several search sites. The first several pages of hits on each were all Hegseth attack articles and opinions. I had to go to past threads here to get any links to context and past history of similar expenditures. From now on I'll come to AOSHQ first to find items that debunk Democrat-Media Party BS.

FWIW, I never thought Milo was charming way back. The guy is badly damaged from child sexual abuse but is likely an unfixable sociopath by now. God's grace might save him but he has to want to change which probably means doing a witness protection type lifestyle change. Apparently he was running MTG's social media account for her congressional office for a time recently which was in part why she veered so far to mASSIE land.
But I think the gist of your post is absolutely correct. Ideologues can rarely do humor, or at least widely acceptable humor needed for widely disseminated memes.

Depends on what you want. Kagi is an ad free paid general web search engine. And Grok, Open AI, Claude, etc. all sell subscriptions as do the music and visual arts specific AIs.
Lexis/Nexis for law and news. Westlaw, for, well law. HeinOnline for law reviews. SSRN for open social science research (free), Bloomberg for business, etc.
First, try your local public library. Some university libraries might or might now allow access to certain paid databases (they often have per seat charges for these).

On this most impressive military blog, I have a question, because I refuted (and ticked off) the woman who rakes on another blog. She has "sources" or reads crap somewhere and said the fueling plane had been shot down. That Cent Com is lying about what happened. She claims missile.
While I guess it could have happened vs the mid air mistake (and my God comfort the six families and may their souls RIP)...she said it's a lie. So I ticked her off as I have not seen this anywhere else and I don't like people's conspiracies. She's opposed to bombing Iran, by the way. We will all soon die of the lack of fuel. She probably hopes for terror cells.
She honestly may be mental and thinks she sits in with the President and Sec of War at this point, so it is probably not worth me commenting. I have twice when she's off the rails.

No, it isn't actually. Today is Sorta Kinda Pi Day.
First, 3/14 is NOT an approximation of Pi, it is about 0.214. And the Europeans, who use a dot for their numeric dates don't write it "3.14" because that would be dumb. They would write it "14.3."
The 22d of July is the proper Pi Day. The date is properly written (in American notation) 22/7. And 22/7 is 3.1428, which is pretty dang close to an approximation of Pi (which has as it's first 5 decimal places [and the ones digit] 3.14159).

On the contrary. It just depends on how it's prepared. By definition, a pie can contain custard, which is basically cheesecake filling.

Nah. Old and mean. Husband or baby daddy never mentioned.
Probably doesn't do sex but rescues bugs (I AM SERIOUS). She may have been the original Qanon.Anything anti-Trump yet she voted for him.
She loves to go against the tide of the blog. I should invite her to the ONT, as y'all are a rough bunch and I debate her politely, as I was raised in the South.
She has a lot of feral cats, not that there's anything wrong with that except she probably has fleas from them and that parasite worm in her brain from kitty litter.
Went to my first confession today to become Catholic.Kinda nervous due to college stuff but I did ok.
I am not sure what this truly says about me but he thought I was sort of funny (not the confession part); but before I left with my little booklet.
My husband helped me with the confession as how do I tally that up since I was 12 and baptized Presbyterian? It would be a a lot!
I make priests laugh after confession is a new flair. I am possibly one of their more colorful almost Catholics, but by acccident.

I know during the 2nd world war they flew in formation together, about as close as they could get and staggered in such a way to provide interlocking fields of fire against attacking fighter aircraft. They had mid air collisions all the time.
Army helicopters fly in close formation at night, under night vision goggles, which I did not care for.

Thank you all for the answers. I just do not believe Cent Com would lie about this.
She gets shrill when I refute her. Which is kinda dumb as she puts her crap out there and I guess it is against rulez of hers. It's a mellow blog otherwise and she inserts her war stuff and I am starting to debate her. Twice. She said I always do and that's a mystery and I reminded her twice in about a month. She also threw the gaslighting word at me which I never understand. I stated facts and that's all.
She called me names, too. Ha! I know then she ain't got nuthin. My brother taught me well as he called me names nearly daily in the middle of an argument to make me laugh.

Still not happy with the crust (too chewy). Despite extreme and heroic efforts in prepping the dough, somehow the gluten is developing.

The morning of March 14, 2019, the American flag was lowered for the final time at U.S. Embassy Caracas. This morning, on March 14, 2026, at the same time, my team and I raised the American flag—exactly seven years after it was lowered.

I used to say the same but something changed in the last year. Family conversions, lack of traditional services and music in some churches I tried (I like tradition and old hymns and not praise music, as that's how I was raised Presbyterian). Many like that form of worship and I don't judge and tried.
All I can say is something changed in me as I searched for a deeper faith and found it. It does not hurt that our son and family converted. My husband was Catholic who converted to Presbyterian,so we are going backwards, I guess. Another 47yrs of marriage will be grand!
Good books that explain it from a conversion perspective. It made sense when a year ago it didn't.
Find God is all I ask. You are loved. Find a denomination where you feel you'd worshipped after leaving, and a peace you can't find anywhere else.
This concludes this episode of Christy Becoming Catholic, a surprise for many I know.

On the way out of the arena, just about going out the door to get a train back to DC, heard a commotion. Looked back - and, not kidding, it was like a cartoon - a guy in a Caps' jersey went running one direction in the main concourse, behind him a swarm of Philly fans in orange.

Trust me, I am glad that's behind me. And I'm really not too bad, all things considered. I'd already prayed decades ago if I did something not good, and it was not murder or stealing. So I felt confident I was already forgiven but this made it more real and is required.
My husband helped as he knows all and I have nothing to hide. The priest was nice. I felt like a Special Ed student with my booklet, but we got it done.
I was nervous but did not act totally goofy. Ok,maybe a little.
At least I did not have to start from childhood and throwing my brother up the stairs, or feeding mud to cousins. Plus college. College was a lot and I did mention that as a sinner. Since college I am practically Amish and floating on a cloud.

Nope, pi is still transcendental.
Because the Japanese language is made up of a small set of syllables, he assigns them to numbers and makes up stories that have the syllables in the correct order as a way to memorize it.
Of course, at 100k syllables, he's memorizing a short novel, instead, so it's still insane.
It's an expanded version of a common Japanese mnemonic trick, where they use a subset of their
"1" is pronounced "ichi" or "hito", so "hi" and "i" are "1".
"2" is "ni" or "futa", so "ni" and "fu" are "2".
etc. etc.

It is important because he could prove it in abstract using those hexes, which was important. If something is done from actual measurements, then it might be a happenstance that the measurements in the real world in a single instance are equivalent to the math thesis being dreamed up. Good enough for a start, but it needs a generalized proof to be proved a constant. Pi is not a real number, it is a constant for a particular element of describing any circle

I've been Presbyterian all of my life. One thing I am not and never have been is a hypocrite to suddenly think I'm going to be superior as a Catholic. Or try to convert anyone.
Altho I was treated this way by my own MIL when she was alive and Catholic and her son married a Southern Presbyterian. Possibly she was not the best example for me with her unfiltered stuff she'd say to me if I put on a few pounds or had my hair longer than a nun's. Oops!
Need to go to bed to get rid of this cold the baby gave me. She was unfazed, our lovely girl. Hope to see her tomorrow.

When you're down that way, must-dos are Linns for the pie, smoked fish place at the Cayucos pier for tacos, local caught fish at a restaurant on the wharf at Morro Bay, and dinner at one of the steakhouses (Far West in Orcutt, Hitching Post #2 on Vandenberg - not #1 in Buellton, that's in the movie "Sideways", or Jockos in Nipomo - which I thought had closed but apparently, thankfully not).

Blueberries. My mom and I went to Nova Scotia when they were having an annual blueberry festival. (We didn't know.) We had to stop in every town along the road when we discovered it was a thing.

Have also never had hominy except with grits. I like grits with butter/salt/pepper but haven't had them in years. Jimmie Dean sausage patties.
Gravy should be brown or red wine/brown. Maybe light brown if chicken and white wine with butter.
I have seen the white stuff for breakfast on menus but never had it. Cannot.
Also anti-poached eggs or runny yolks. My Yank husband likes the stuff I don't like this.Bacon has to be crispy.

Honestly, it is just stew in a pastry with a hearty gravy. Think of it as stew with shaped dumplings!
If you were abused with the freezer case pot pies as a child, I can understand, but they are a yummy way to use up leftovers.
The Rosemary Pork stew was a bit discordant the other day, but I think that might have been the bay leaf.

That (Luther's reformation) is the Thinking Man rebelling against The (corrupt) Institution. That resembles MAGA against our corrupt regime. Regimes (or large institutions) always become corrupt. Hard to deny the Pope had become a tool of the left, while much/all? of the Presby's have also surrendered. Seek out one's own salvation.

Totally agree. Back when Catholics would not allow people to read Bibles.
NOT ALL PRESBYTERIANS Are The Same. Nor many Protestant denominations who break away due to heretics. I was raised PCA, then as an adult joined and raised our sons PCUSA...the liberal branch. Which did not alarm me til 2014 and I raised some cain with the big guns from Orlando and was called a Calvinist.
I might be wrong, but the only Protestant church to hold the line are the Baptists.
I come from a long line of ancestors who rebel. In this case, things changed and I changed with the times. I want traditional service and music and we cannot find it locally. My mother's Presbyterian PCA church remains true to the roots of the Bible.
I am going backwards in time as my ancestors were rebelling French Huguenots, and Scot's Presbyterians who wore their red scarves with pride (the origin of "redneck" rebelling against the Church of England). I may have some explaining to do in heaven and will be ready.

Those that can are designated KC-135R(RT). FWIW
Posted by: Martini Farmer at March 14, 2026 11:05 PM (jtM2q)
Actually, the "T" designation is for those that have a "dual" fuel system. They can be used to refuel SR-71s, which require a different type of fuel than normal JP-8. The copilot has to be careful with his switches to ensure he's passing gas properly. There are a few KC-135s that are refuellable, but very few used as refuelers themselves.
KC-10s are refuellable, and we regularly sent them to haul the cargo for a deployment of fighter jets. They would refuel the fighters, and we would refuel the KC-10. Spent a week in Bodo, Norway helping them get going back over the Atlantic. Good beer and beautiful women - who wanted nothing to do with an American after a month or two of Marines being in town.

The biggest surprise for me is so is the Catholic Mass...in readings. When I was told otherwise my entire life.

KT hit on that this morning - as it came - the modern denominations dropped — Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity —
don't just fail to resonate; they actively reject these concerns as immoral.
Loyalty to a group shrinks the moral circle; it is the basis of racism and exclusion, they say.
Authority is oppression.
Sanctity is religious mumbo-jumbo whose only function is to suppress female sexuality and justify homophobia."
Progressive Christianity does the same thing theologically. It elevates the care and fairness dimensions of Jesus's teaching above everything else… then treats anyone who draws from the other moral foundations as a Pharisee.
The result sounds like pure love. But it's a narrowed moral vision that has quietly set aside half the palette and declared the remaining half to be the whole gospel."

Modern education is sadly lacking.
The failing lesbian knight video game that was just released has Aeta as the knight in question. The time is 1348, when the Black Death had just started to exterminate up to half of Italy's population.
In the game we are told, the tales of Arthur and the Round Table are her inspiration to be a knight. Le Morte d'Arthur was not compiled and published until 1470. So how could a provincial aristocratic girl in Italy know anything of the loose collection of English and French tales of Arthur?

Even more important, under her chainmail hot-pants is she wearing a gambethong?

The game developers had that and some serious mind-numbing drugs.
The climatic boss battle is between Aeta and her lesbian love Bianca. Two young lesbians with swords attacking each other.
Apparently, the game devs never contemplated any other possible interpretation to that.

Considering how many guitar overdub tracks the Scholz sound required did live Boston require like 3 or 4 guitarists? Not bashing Tom at all, he's right up there with the Beach Boys and the Ramones for creating a signature sound. Problem with that is you can't really ever change it so eventually you run out of variations on it

I know. And the only B-52s left are all H models built in 61-62. But its still a fun thought that that has been going on for more than half of the entire history of powered flight. Or if a major power, heck any military, was still using B-17s as bombers in 2008.

Transition from Church to Party:
Pub Ban Repeal: Until 1961, Irish law prohibited pubs from opening on St. Patrick's Day. By the 1980s, pubs were open, but the modern party-heavy atmosphere had not yet fully matured.
Influence of the Diaspora: The party-heavy, parade-focused, green-beer celebration was largely an American invention created by Irish immigrants, which was later re-imported back to Ireland.
The 1990s Shift: The modern, multi-day, large-scale St. Patrick's Festival was not established in Dublin until 1996, specifically designed to showcase Irish culture to the world and drive tourism.

A cut from Mindful Webworkshop #3, 2016 Aug 22, back before my hands quit working; and my voice, but this is instrumental anyway. Most of my songs started with lyrics, tunes secondly; then, some lyrics don't seem to age all that well, but I like the tune. Not a booze song.

I highly recommend his autobiography. He's distantly related to Warren Buffet, and the only time he leveraged that relationship was when he was offered a contract from Disney early in his career. Warren advised him not to get in bed with those vipers. The rest is history..

Last 3 songs:
https://youtu.be/ijmJNsYTFIE
https://youtu.be/ecUWafiuj3c
https://youtu.be/5tZtYtoVnLw
Their label didn't like the downer ending:
And if you ever come across us don't give us your sympathy
You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands
And you'll recognize by the reflection in our eyes
That deep down inside we're all one and the same
We're clutching at straws
We're still drowning
Clutching at straws.....
So they said to change it so it would have "a happy ending."
So they added a final track, literally named "Happy Ending."
Which is just a short, creepy laugh.

The Turtles - Happy Together
https://youtu.be/BqZ6sRHpWIk
After Douglas got poached for his arrangement skill and Pons replaced him, The Turtles made a concept album pretending be 11 different bands, on The Turtles Present The Battle Of The Bands, with each song in a different style. Naturally, one of those bandsonas was in their own style, and "Elenor" was basically a parody of "Happy Together," done as a dig at their label for pestering them to repeat its success; in a twist, it was good enough to become a top-ten hit in its own right:

After The Turtles broke up, Jim Pons joined his neighbor and friend Frank Zappa in his band The Mothers Of Invention, called such because the label made him change its name "out of necessity." (I could tell you that here's where things get complicated, but I already said that Zappa was involved.) Similarly, although The Turtles lead singer Howard Kaylan and backup singer Mark Volman also joined the band, for legal purposes they were treated as the Phlorescent Leech (or Flo for short) and Eddie.
Zappa was heavily involved in some kind of satirical fake rockumentary "200 Motels," purporting to be about the touring musician life. "Fillmore East - June 1971" is inspired by the film project and in the same vein, so much of the album is basically an extended negotiation with some groupies, trying to convince them that they're big enough stars (with big enough dicks) to be worth having sex with. At one point, they sing "Happy Together," with Flo & Eddie implicitly pretending to be who they really are, and Jim Pons playing Chip Douglas's part on bass:

Irish is also our only common ancestry.
We used to go out for dinner at a favorite French bistro in FL. Street party. Then we'd walk up the street to an Irish pub where most of the drunks were gathered.
It was our last time to go out on our anniversary with the amateur drinkers. I was in a pale green linen suit and was reaching up to catch beads (like Mardi Gras) from the roof of the pub.
A guy behind me with a Guiness was reaching at the same time and spilled his beer down my jacket and skirt. Took forever to get that dark beer out of linen, but I still have the suit.
We decided to stay home after that on our big day and have dinner on another day to celebrate.Mostly Irish Shepherd's Pie (with a cheddar mashed potato topping). I make Irish soda bread for his breakfast.
Will be 47yrs on Tuesday! Still crazy about him, we've had fun!

Helps with milk production! No one told me this with giant #1 son (who called two weeks ago that his wife is expecting their first!). It probably would have helped us both After 3 wks of misery he got formula and was happier, as was I.
I read about the cabbage leaf deal and thought that would be rather disgusting. Glad women have more help now. I was also a bit dim from the trauma of it all and did not call two nurse friends who'd just had babies for advice.That would have required sleep and being normal.
Second son and I did fine...but he also was not as demanding and insane from his first breath.

The monks were writing on vellum which is prepared calfskin. They would literally scrape off the surface to make changes or corrections. The vellum was so valuable, a piece might be scraped off entirely to make a new document. I've read that some valuable writing was lost to that. Kind of like replacing a page of Canterbury Tales with a shopping list.

We had the "interesting" experience of approaching the statue from the back side 😂😂😂. And the statue was on a fairly high pedestal, so when standing up close to it, one got an eyeful of young David's package.

TRex, I didn't get to photographing my first attempts at watercolor painting. I'll see to it this week.
Cursive, to me, was that segment of the elementary school day that really dragged. (Well, they all dragged except for 3:00, when we went home.) I knew I was reproducing the letters on the chalkboard at least well enough that other people could read them. Why all the fuss about making my "G" look exactly like the teacher's?
To this day I do my initial capital "F," "Q," and several other letters as if I were printing them, then the rest of the word is in cursive form.

Can't remember why it didn't make the cut for the content, but I watched a YT video of two guys showing calligraphy with chalk on a chalkboard. Horizontal lines on the board helped show sizing but it was interesting to watch them show the good and bad of different strokes. I never realized how much true calligraphy breaks down to joining specific shapes.

My wifey has discovered a large 'burl' on one of our trees (scientific name, 'tree'). I know they are highly prized by you woodworkers out there and stuff.
I was planning to raze the house and surrounding land to the ground, and start over. But I wonder if there's another, better idea, out there?

If my experience with drafting class is any indication, not much at all. I didn't realize that most people do not end up with residual ink/graphite on their outer fist until much later.
We Southpaws do some interesting contortions with our hands - and the medium used - in order to get our lettering to slant the "correct" way in order to not get points off for bad penmanship.
I had to resort to always putting a piece of paper between my hand and whatever I was drafting in order to keep all of the lines and letters looking pristine.

I also tried smoking some of the "new" Sir Walter Raleigh tobacco. It's now made in the Dominican Republic, and the pouch when unsealed has a strong odor of vinegar -- not something you want in your pipe. When I checked it yesterday after some months unsealed, the odor seemed much lessened. A smoke today left me with a faint aftertaste, not of vinegar, but also not of the cocoa and nuts SWR was known for. So my personal jury is still out on this. Maybe I can mix it with something else.

In eighth grade, for some reason (anticipating Joey Tribbiani's wondering if he needed a new walk), I decided to have a second handwriting. I consciously re-molded many of my cursive letters and how they connected together, so that samples of it looked to me very little like my "regular" handwriting. Probably a handwriting specialist would have seen the same traits in both styles, but I found it fascinating to do.
Possibly, too, some of the re-moldings went on to infiltrate my "regular" handwriting once I got out of school and was no longer being trained in the classic cursive. They might be part of my handwriting to this day.

Just got here last night, and I am recovering from the flight today (had a chemo fill on Thursday). Will know more tomorrow!
So far, we have only seen SF from the ride from the airport to daughter's house, and most of that was Friday afternoon traffic, so I have kind of been disappointed.
We will hopefully be seeing more of the touristy things later on. SIL's mother is being released from medical rehab in Truckee tomorrow (who knew they do that on Sundays?), so our original plan to see the GG Bridge and Muir Woods has had to be put on hold, as he will need to stay in Truckee (at their current house) to be there to help her out.
We are thinking that this trip may end up just being spent hanging out with daughter and the grandsons, and we will plan on another trip for sightseeing in early June, if I am still doing okay healthwise.

It must have been a good copy. I saw the original in Florence and the first thing I thought was ol' Michelangelo must have been on a bender when he did the feet and hands. They looked like they came from an orangutan. Seriously, the hands looked like they were off scale, just too big for the wrist and arms they were attacked to.

- Take your time and enjoy the process of writing.
- I need a flat or slightly inclined surface to use an ink pen well. I have a copy of a colonial era writing box with an inclined lid and it does make a difference.
- I do more writing these days, mostly notes and essays for my own enjoyment, and slowing down my writing pace to accommodate the pens helps with choosing the best words and the process becomes a pleasure of its own. Shelby Foote wrote his Civil War books with a dip pen and believed using one made his writing better.

Worked for the USGS Western Mapping Agency in Menlo Park from 2000 - 2006. Mostly IT work. But they had some really cool shit there. Including a live seismometer. And turn of the century optical systems long since unused.
Old school cartography was and is, an art. Serious art.
The USGS used to send scouts out west with surveyors and cartographers to plot what would later become US states. Our outfit was mostly involved with drawing up hazards maps (floods, earthquakes, etc.) and National Park topo maps. Those were pretty cool.

The drawback of the quill is that the ink is held against the inside of the shaft of the feather and the bottom nib by surface tension. Ideally this is a thin layer, but there can be more held there. In Western scripts, the end of the nib is also split--often intentionally off center-- so the the two tines will separate slightly when pressed, and the ink will run better to the nib. When the pressure is released for an up stroke there is only the ink that is at the nib to leave on the paper. However if you hold it too vertical, then the ink wants to run down and make a drop at the tip, which makes dribbles, blots, and wastes ink.

I use pellets from Tractor Supply, the Packsaddle brand is 100% wood, and no additives. The BBQ type often has sugar or urea added to increase the heat in burning to coals. It also costs more.

I tried to "Dutch" the quills with heat, and then by rolling them on a hot surface, which only seemed to burn them or make them brittle, so there is an art to that.
I have also let some sit for a couple of years and that seems to work. Ideally the practice is to put the quills into heated sand to draw a temper on them, and I never quite got around to that.

My skills are too poor to justify a bought quill, and it seemed like a neat skill to learn. I probably need some hands on training to get good.
I was practicing with chicken pin feathers I begged from a co-worker who was amused what I wanted them for. If I could find someone who had geese I think that would help.

Hi, I know it's a bit late. This is moron Dark Litigator. I was the co-owner (3%) of cat Maceo ("MAYseeoh") who I occasionally mentioned over the years. His mama (97% owner) had him for nearly 6 years. He was a special needs rescue cat from the mean streets of Fresno but he blossomed into the coolest, little dude. A few weeks ago he developed late-stage heart and kidney disease so we sadly had to euthanize him at 2pm on 2/22. Here are a couple of pics from his better days, if you could put one or both up. Thanks.So sorry you have lost Maceo - - such a cool cat. Thanks for rescuing him. Keep in touch.

Thanks for the pet thread. I'll read later. I'm watching a Japanese horror movie now.
My friends' cat Snowflake, who is now back to being their outdoor cat, is taking the afternoon off from the wild and is sleeping comfortably in my lap at this very moment. She's sound asleep.

Afternoon, Pet Folken. Saturday, Cat Day on the Pet Thread, and Pi Day all in one (at 4 pm, 1600 hours, it will be 3.1416)! Surely all of these things rarely happen at one time. It portends something peculiar!
Joyenz, if you're here: As you mentioned last week, I bought the 20-lb. bag of Feline Pine at Walmart yesterday and changed the cats' box, leaving a layer of the old clay on top. I don't know if I got clumping or non-clumping. There was only one kind on the shelf, and after putting the stuff into the 30-lb. Petco bucket, I threw away the bag without noticing what it said.
Anyway, no disasters yet. The felines seemed startled but were not deterred from using it. I do hope this $12.00 bag will last longer than the $8.00 20-lb. jug of the clay stuff, and be both more effective and easier to clean up!

I have a cat, Chloe, who is 16 and a bit and is getting thin. I took her to the vet, who did the blood tests, and from all indications the tests came out unremarkable, but she was a bit dehydrated.
The vet offered some anti-nausea shots, and a cat-sized unit of ringer's lactate, and I chose the ringer's.
She is also getting a bit stiff so I will be trying a dab of DMSO on her ears to see if that helps. I use it on my own shoulder, so it may help.
Poor little lady is getting to be a senior citizen. She is doing ok, but the young kittens get rambunctious around her which she disapproves of.

Maceo, I see, had a few speckles of what I was told was cat acne on the edge of his nose. My late red tabby with white, Arizona, developed that in his mature years. Never bothered him or me. Oh, I'd tell him it made him defective and he'd have to go back to the SPCA, but he paid no attention.

Glad to hear that there are no accidents yet. I think putting the regular litter on top is to slowly help transition them over. Hopefully it continues to only needing the pine.
Your bag will probably last longer than it does us. We have quite a few more cats than you. It's why we buy the 40lb bag from Walmart online and with my sister's employee discount and her free Walmart+, it works out well for us.

Freckles is what I thought too, but to this day Linda insists one local vet told her Arizona had developed acne. I'll give that vet office this, that they kept him alive at a critical juncture when he was fourteen. But they also missed discovering that smart black cat Marie-Antoinette had been born a boy. (Imagine the hilarity when we found that out several years later --!)

Miss Linda swears that Angelique, the Siamese-pointed Siberian who came up to me in a parking lot to be rescued, didn't remember how to purr for a year after she adopted the cat. This is the one who would sit in your lap of her own accord, but if you shifted your leg an inch, she would growl on a rising note, like "I'm gonna explode --!!!" She wouldn't leap away after the growl, but would stay on your lap. (The cat was a bit cracked, I think.)
I believe purring is learned in kittenhood from the mother, and is used to communicate between cats and maybe humans too. It's been found, I think, that cats do not purr when they are alone.

Those of us who know, know that black cats are the best. At least they are the most easygoing and adaptable, and may even be the smartest. (There can be local variations, of course.) I've loved all my cats, even the difficult Codger Cat Chekov. But the black cats have all had something extra special.

II: I was unable to post in a timely manner on last weeks thread, and I see that the pellet thing has come up again this week, and I wanted to throw in my two cents........ pine pellet bedding comes in 40 pound bags at the tractor supply store and Rural King. Those are stores that are all over the place in central Ohio, though I don't know how far across the country they extend. But I have found them to be even slightly cheaper than buying pellets for a stove, and I tell myself that they're better because they've not been treated with anything. I don't know if woodstove pellets have anything added to them, I have not researched it. But I know that the bedding pellets are pine sawdust only. And I'm paying about $7.80 for a 40 pound bag. The disadvantage is that it does not come in smaller sizes than 40 pounds and, I am not aware of a way to get them delivered. So I have to be able to get those bags into my vehicle, unassisted, and then unload them at home unassisted. And for now, I can do that. Not sure what I'll do when I'm not able to heft them by myself, but that's a problem for another day.

Get some 5 gallon buckets at KFC or any other fast food joint (pickles and mayo come in those buckets) and see if you can get some help at the store filling them from the bag. Even if you get the bags into your trunk, you can transfer them to the buckets downhill from there and you can choose how heavy to fill that bucket with the handy bail.
Also, you can store the buckets outside if you have lids for them. And if you have an outside.

Because I am a bad cat mom, I spent no time acclimating them to the new litter, it just got changed over. And neither one seemed to care.
My cats and my plants know that they're not going to get fussed over by me, so they need to be able to take what they are given and be happy with it.

Ears were permanently folded down from past ear infection scarring. Not a Scottie. Gave him quite a distinguished look though. He also had 4" of tail left after amputation due to nerve trauma + a bear-shaped body + his back legs were slightly longer than his front so he walked a bit like Stegosaurus. He also had the most beautiful tufts on the bottom of his feet. On the SPCA website, they said his name meant "Gift from God" which he was. Some cats are just special and when one of them likes you, life is just a little more special.

Kojak was a beautiful dog, bouncing at the end of his chain as I would walk up the driveway waving my arms overhead in greeting. Guess he was kind of my spirit animal too. Good boy, Kojak. Good boy...

On a semi- non-cat-related note, we had the unfortunate experience of discovering that the "stewardess" in first class on yesterday's flight to San Francisco.....wasn't.
In fairness, this person was of a slight build, and had immaculately manicured nails, neatly styled hair, and lovely stud earrings. It was always a surprise, though, to hear the male voice accompanying the rest of the package.
Honestly, if we had never heard the voice, it would have taken more than a few double takes to figure out what was wrong with the picture - like I said, this person was of very slight build, and didn't have any of the annoying mannerisms that so many of the more "vocal" activists do. He was very professional and polite.
On the way out , Mr. TiFW even complimented him on how nice his manicure looked.

On a cat-related note, years ago one of our cats had kittens, and we ended up keeping an adorable grey fuzz ball that the girls promptly named "Puff".
A few weeks later, we noticed that " Puff" had a couple of protuberances in the nether regions which had been concealed by all of the fluffy fur until then.
Whereupon "Puff" was renamed "Puff Daddy" 😂😂😂

I did not know cinnamon and nutmeg were toxic for cats, but the article made sure to point it out. Note: i was not suggesting feeding pumpkin pie to the cat.

Well, that was Marie's problem. Her little batteries never descended -- "cryptorchidism," we were told -- and her fluffy medium hair back there concealed anything else on a casual look. the lady who passed her on to Linda called her "Marie-Antoinette" because she acted like cat royalty, and the vet who looked at her when she was fairly young apparently missed the essential clue, so "F" she remained until the big revelation years later.
As you see, we still call her "she."

Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, March 14
This pansy is the only survivor on the terrace outside of my condo of the harshest winter I've seen since I moved here 6 years ago. It is still perfect.A wonderful way to start our post today, which comes mostly from the desert.
Lots of little green shoots in my planters though so hope Springs eternal. Sharon(willow's apprentice)
Edible Gardening/Putting Things By
Last week, WeeKreekFarmGirl shared some information with us about an herb most of us had never heard of, Sculpit. Famous in some parts of Europe, we learned. It is available from Terroir Seeds, a company in Arizona. Here is one of their summer squashes, Tatume. It is a firm, round zucchini-type squash known for its heat tolerance. I have grown it before. I tend to prefer the more tender varieties, but this one has the advantage of surviving where others may not.
Cucamelons:
If you are wondering what to do with all of your tiny cucamelons, use them in a salad! They add a delicious cucumber crunch like nothing else.
Courtesy Wherever I May Roam Nature and Photography ">* Adventure From a friend:
Hiked 6.66 miles today on the Sonoran Preserve. It was so beautiful and pictures will never show all that beauty. We saw so many gorgeous saguaros and other cacti, two snakes (harmless Sonoran garter snakes), many birds, many butterflies, and wild flowers dropping a splash of color in the desert landscape. We akso saw some Christmas cactus. The highlight was a gorgeous crested saguaro. There are only 17 in Arizona, so it's quite an anomaly. I felt privileged to witness this miracle of nature. . . It was a good day.

inside I started my tomatoes way too early lol
they're happy but getting large
everything else I started (at a more appropriate time) is looking happy! can't wait to put thing outside
got an orchid rebloom this past week and all the girls are looking happy with a strong sun! some of them will go outside too (with limits)

Bought a small plum tree (potted) when they were very cheap last fall, and then never got a chance to put it in the ground.
I brought it inside to protect the root ball when we had some temps below 10F.
Of course, it bloomed early in our dining room.
I know it takes a lot of the trees' energy to blossom and leaf out.
Should I plant it ASAP, or give it two weeks of sunlight on the new leaves to produce some more glucose reserves before subjecting it to some transplant shock?

Posted by: RI Red - who is now only somebody that you used to know at March 14, 2026 01:57 PM (J5F+L)
you should not be transplanting when it's blooming I don't think. but if you live in Georgia or something, you could put it outside in the pot and let it partially acclimate?
don't rush the little guy!
anyway take anything I say with a grain of salt I get nowhere with fruit trees except my Garage Fig (which lives in a big pot and I fear leaving outside for very long).

Some Johnny Jump-Ups are blooming out by the shed. The crocus behind the kitchen window have flopped, but the hyacinths are coming on. I planted 25 daffodils 2 years ago in a backyard bed, and we have only 4 sprouts so far this year - those things just don't like it here. At least the size of the tulip leaves out front promise a beautiful late spring.
Husband is more than half done with the new dry-stacked stone bed. We'll go to the local native plant society sale in late April to get plants.
I ordered my seeds from Territorial Seed Co., now I'm just waiting for them.
Husband set out our "cat-cam" this week, discovered we are not just feeding our barn cat and the raccoon, we're also feeding 3 other cats and some magpies. This is getting out of hand... Now if we set out the live trap, who knows what we'll catch! Ugh!

Planted my two David Austin roses and put in some vegetable and herb seedlings and seed tape and mats.
We discovered that a 1:1 ratio of sad dirt pile dirt and cotton burr compost produces a usable soil- we hope.
Turned the special biodynamic compost heap yesterday and inserted the PVC pipe watering unit in it.
Spring clean-up is still going on. The weather has been lovely here in CenTex, but it's supposed to get cold Sunday night- down to the mid 30's.
High winds are a problem in our valley, so I will take down the bird feeders.
Having so much fun working out what goes where- trying to not get carried away!

I think I’m going to clear an 8’ x 16’ garden out next to the driveway in direct sunlight. Many of my attempts alongside the house were blocked by trees to the south.
Got great green beans, though, last year. And I’m converting the potato patch to cherry tomatoes.
My thumb is not very green - more like puce.

I 've only been to two deserts. The first one was the Negev in Israel. Just completely barren. I don't remember seeing cacti or any vegetation. Maybe our resident Israeli can refresh my memory. This was well before cell phones so I'd have to go find old prints.
The second was in Utah in May, and the cacti were in blossom and it was glorious. So dry though. Again, a long time ago. I actually have pictures hiking in a two piece bathing suit. A really long time ago when I wasn't actually 29 yet IRL. 😉

I'll have to check it out because there landscape guys showed up yesterday and replaced all the planters on the terrace. I'll have to send a picture for next week. They really do a fantastic job. In June they come and pull everything out and do gorgeous arrangements with some tropical plants. There are a couple of large crape myrtles they trim back that end up huge with gorgeous flowers. It is the only condo common space and my unit looks out on it. I have a little terrace of my own. Trying to decide if I am going to do veges this year. F
