Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, March 28
The hellebores started blooming in mid-March. I first planted them by the concrete steps years ago when there was a weeping cherry providing shade. We had to take the cherry down after the trunk split and I expected to need to move the hellebores since they're supposed to be shade plants. They have been growing and blooming for over ten years in full afternoon sun. Hellebores hate being moved, at least in my experience, so I've left them alone since they seem to be doing fine! Lirio100
From Neal in Israel:
Chandelier plant (Kalanchoe delagoensis): Received something small from a fellow gardener who lives down the street. Over the summer, it got strong and multiplied (also known as Mother of Millions), and now the stand has been flowering nicely for a few weeks.
The strawberries are Fragaria vesca that I grew from seed last year, basically just to see if I could. I didn't expect them to survive the winter as they were growing in a clay pot left out on the top step. I was surprised to see there were two flowers by May 20th. The plant is supposedly self pollinated but our temps are going down again so might not see any berries right now. Lirio100
Updated landscaping around the pond. Mexican heather along the walkway with poker plants behind them. Phlox around the falls. Herbs on the slope. Lantana and yarrow for the butterflies. Petunias and dianthus for the humming bird. Bird feeders for everyone else. Cross vine, Carolina Jessamine, and honeysuckle along the fence with some cannas because they’re outta control. Flowering yucca in red and yellow. Daffodils, irises, dianthus and daylillies along the wall. Caladiums and hostas under the fig tree. And the auxiliary office. R/s CrotchetyOldJarheadWOW! A lot of work! Everything looks great. Thanks for sending in the photos.

This is an experiment on biochar, and if it doesn't work, at least it kept me occupied.
This winter I spread 50 lbs of crushed limestone on the garden as well in the hope of making the clay less gluey.
I planted my potatoes, and I am working out just what all I want to plant in the rest of the garden.

1/ Carlyle in 1841: "A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things." Chesterton on how an open mind is no more a virtue than an open mouth: "The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid”
2/ A knight who owns a sharp sword should make sure he does not cut himself with it, and a man gifted with a great mind should make sure he does not start living inside it...
This is gold. One of the less talked about side-effects of intelligence—seeing every possible outcome from every possible perspective = philosophical rumination, stagnation. I practice now setting boundaries with my open mind, directing it wisely instead of being a slave to it.

This. Intelligence =/= competence or ability
----------------
Those are two different issues though. You are right that intelligence is merely he capacity for learning, and not achievement or wisdom in and of itself.
However, a competent or able person could spend much of their time thinking rather than acting. A certain amount of that seems laudable, as long as you don't overdo it.

I read many years ago that education was heading in this direction AND that the wealthy would not go this route but have real people teach their children.
That seems to track with tech people severely limiting their children's time on electronic devices.

That tracks with the current trend of woke professionals voting for their own destruction. Teachers unions have been one of the biggest and most consistent supporters of Dims for decades now. They have lots of interest in all sorts of woke nonsense about immigrations and trannies and whatnot, but little curiosity about things like AI.
It would be sweet karmic justice if public schools were gutted and most of the human teachers fired because of robots and/or AI. Ace would die from Pinhead levels of ecstatic joy at the pain of libtard teachers.

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: the problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of 130. This false arrogance drives so much elite failure over the last 40 years.
Stewart’s career has been a long series of failures, and yet there he is, ensconced at Yale University, lecturing young people about international relations, while complaining on a podcast about how “racist” the English people are because they don’t want their country overrun by foreigners. And he’s angry because Trump took away the million dollars a year that U.S. taxpayers were sending to the Afghanistan NGO run by his wife.
You can’t understand his “lived experience,” you bigot.
...people like Rory Stewart are incapable of changing their minds because to do so would require them to interrogate their own motives and confront their own selfishness.

This can be expanded to the idea that neuroses are the disconnect between what we need to remember to support our current impression of reality and what is actually smacking us in the face.
I don't know if Adler has the right of it but I do know we tend to build consensus realities to support our groups and cultures, but without the ability to fact check due to preconceptions these will always collapse or become dysfunctional.

Classroom management is a big issue that I don't see robots as having the ability to handle.
Also, my interactions with ai, make me think that while it is fine (with the right input) of presenting facts, it will not, at this point, if ever, detect where a child's curiosity is awakened nor where specifically a stumbling block presents itself.
Your scenario is definitely possible and that is not how I would like children to be taught, which is why I argue for the privatization of education.

Now really they only care about the ends, but if you get them to talk about the details of their policies you get into silliness quickly. For example,
You believe Americans make more pollution/trash because we want too many things right?
Yes
And if we were more like third worlders with lower economic standards we would make less of this?
I've always said this!
So then if you bring people from the third world here and give them 1st world standards of living they will production more of the pollution you claim will literally destroy the earth...isn't that the logical trade off for large scale immigration you want?

This is what happens if you try to find the "best path" solution to a problem. The true solution is not to find a path, but to find a general direction to the goal that presents the greatest flexibility to improvise.
The term I am thinking of is "clade" as in do not look for a single evolutionary tree for decision making which is a subtractive method pruning extraneous paths, instead look for a clade that allows you to intermix the various solutions presented by the alternate paths explored along the way.

There’s some guy out there with an insanely high IQ (I forgot type number but like 180?)… he’s trying to do physics research and getting nowhere because he doesn’t know how to collaborate. Pure intelligence (whatever that is) needs to be mixed with other positive attributes to be valuable

That is the difference-willingness to act and take the consequences good or bad after.
Without a high iq and morality though, it becomes short time horizon of acting without thinking. That is the reason a lot of those folks get into trouble with the law and at jobs.

Pretty much everyone here is smart. We can all measure risk and reward. Smart guys got in a boat and sailed across a largely uncharted country and founded this country while knowing the odds. Other smart guys got in a can and went to the moon despite the odds.
We're all everyday people. Life is a risk every time you walk out the door. Some just walk further.

The wider the spread in iq levels between the listener and the speaker, the less that a listener is able to even follow the conversation which in turn creates frustration from the speaker and frustration from the listener as well.
High iq people are often unhappy as a result. There is also the problem related to being able to shut down the brain and getting enough sleep, rest, nutrition, etc. Thinking can obsess the person.

Kids are increasingly taught NOT to do this, which may be contributing the overall problem. In current form, try/fail/adjust/try is removed for self-esteem reasons (which has the opposite effect) and the overall bubble-wrapping of kids. Personally I was taught from an early age that to try and fail was the worst, most shameful thing you could do, instead of it being part of a perfectly normal human learning experience. This, among numerous other cruel and dysfunctional things, I was conditioned to not just believe but absorb into the deepest parts of myself. So while I am measurably quite intelligent, I'm kind of stupid because of neuroticism, indecision, and the utter conviction from my earliest conscious years that to fail at a task defines you existentially as a failure. This has led to multiple bad decisions and non-decisions that had very bad outcomes.

True ability in rhetorical speaking is being able to communicate with the audience with vocabulary, simplified sentence structure, and belief in what you are saying is true--relatively few politicians (or even professors, etc.) can do so. And you have to practice at it. Churchill famously spent time in the mirror, the bathroom, etc. trying to figure out the best way to convey his points and the accompanying stagecraft to present it effectively.
Know your audience is easy to say, hard to do.

Sorry to hear that. For me, Christian faith helps. There are no of us so low that Christ will not lend aid to and listen to in our time of need.

Thanks for asking. Just more boring medical issues but-
Winning the battle of attrition.
The critical point of the surgery comes after six more weeks. A percentage of spinal implants do not bond with the bone and when you are dealing with multiple levels, the risk goes up.
The risk is about one in ten to require the surgeon to go back in so I am still restricted in activity to give the bonding a shot.
Back Pain now is in the lower thoracic and lumbar as the load is being redistributed from the fused area. But the neuropathy in hands, arms, and shoulders is absent for now.
So we shall see.

That's just a shorthand expression I came up with after many years of reflection and consideration. I've also discovered through a lot of research that having this belief inculcated in children is actually quite common within narcissistic and other dysfunctional family systems. Religion was used largely for manipulation, avoidance of accountability, and keeping an unchallengeable whip-hand, so to speak. Unsurprisingly I have a rather disillusioned and jaded view regarding religion. And I know people will say "well you have to separate the religion from its flawed practitioners" and I understand that as far as it goes, but it's also a bit hand-wavy when it was part and parcel of the experience as a whole.

Napoleon on how he planned wars: "There is no man more pusillanimous than I when I am planning a campaign" In the planning stage, Napoleon exaggerated, in his mind "all the dangers and calamities" possible BUT while fighting, he forgot everything "except what led to success."
Maybe being purely academic, in a sheltered environment, I'd say yes. But, it has also been written several WW2 commanders demonstrated various Napoleonic traits and could read battle and act decisively. For example: Patton for rapid armored warfare. Georgy Zhukov was apparently known for strategic offensive planning; Rommel, aggressive tactical leadership, and more.
And I imagine great commanders throughout history in all places of the world have had to exhibit "Napoleonic traits."
And that brilliance coupled with decisive action would likely be an advantage in medicine, engineering, and more too.

I only mentioned that to say I'm not from the much stricter sects... and yes, I remember there being some bake sales after church...
I had a whole bunch of stuff written, but then decided to just say this:
I feel sorry for your experiences with religion, and I hope that you can find peace.

Delco DA Press Release: Charges Brought Against 20 School Employees for Abusing Children Under Their Care, Mar 31, 2025
Media, PA – District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer announced the charging of twenty (20) individuals who worked in the Chester Community Charter School with multiple counts related to child abuse against twenty six (26) children in grades K-5 who were enrolled in the school’s Team Approach to Achieving Academic Success (TAAS) program. These charges come after a police investigation begun after two parents complained to school officials in January of 2025 that their children reported being afraid to attend school due to fears of being placed in “holds” by school staff.

Not every family, every parent or guardian can homeschool their precious child/children.
And when some try their best to protect them through other educational methods, that doesn't necessarily work for the best either.

Patton was actually mentored as a cadet by Col. John Mosby, I think Zhukov was influenced by Russian cavalry tactics as learned from the Mongols, and Rommel learned deeply from what didn't work with armor in WWI and the Spanish Civil war.
Add to this George Washington who developed incredibly complicated assaults that were probably beyond the ability of his troops commanders to coordinate, but always had ways of breaking contact successfully, and worked a surprising number of times.

One of 3 "aviation optimized" LHA's. No well deck for landing craft or other boats to take Marines ashore. Instead they use helicopters and V-22's. The Tripoli and her sisters can also support up to 18 or 20 F-35B VTOL jets. Another LHA is heading to the Gulf. With a bunch of Marines too.

Good morning boys and girls and every thing in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Poy Sippi.) 1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice. Ace's house, Ace's rules.
3) Running with sharp objects is highly frowned upon.
4) Have a great weekend!

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 2/14 – L gave an update on her brother Ron. He has been in declining health for the last 6+ months, and has been transferred to a nice facility for hospice. They had been discussing this possibility for months. He would make improvements, then relapse, each time ending up more disabled. The best part is that he is at peace with the decision. He is aware enough to assist with the final plans and is enjoying parceling out his remaining possessions to family and friends. L’s daughter’s cardiac recovery continues. L says she cannot thank all sufficiently for the many prayers.
3/21 Update – Ron’s struggle is over. He died on 3/9. His 65th birthday would have been 3/22. His funeral was well attended and many people described him as their “best friend”. Despite never being married of having children, he leaves a legacy to be proud of. L’s daughter has finally recovered enough to start cardiac rehab. They expect great progress. L and her husband are rebuilding their relationship after putting it on the back burner for far too long, and working to get healthier. Thanks to everyone who prayed. It has meant a lot. 2/20 – Gouveneur Morris requested prayers for herself as she has surgery scheduled for 2/27 for spondylolisthesis.
3/5 Update - Gouveneur Morris’ surgery was successful – every prayer and thought directed her way is appreciated. 3/2 – RickZ posted that he received bad news. He went to the ER with muscle pain and came out with a cancer diagnosis. He could use prayers for an extremely capable oncological team of cancer specialists, and that God guides their hands and minds as they work to rid Rick of cancer. And also that God would provide him peace and calm, and to help sustain him through this trial. 3/5 – Inogame posted the good news that baby #5 arrived! Baby was overdue by 12 days. Mom and baby are doing well. Baby was 9 pounds 8 ounces, and 21.5 inches long. 3/5 – IrishEI has learned that she needs major surgery on 3/16, and she would really appreciate prayers. 3/7 – Uncle Slayton posted the good news that his son-in-law, Kenny, is almost 3 years cancer-free. He beat lymphoma and leukemia, and Uncle Slayton wanted to thank everyone who prayed for him. 3/7 – Joe Kidd sent an update on a previous prayer, for a young girl named Jasmine. She is the adopted daughter of a friend of a friend. She had been rescued from abuse, but was withdrawn, etc. The friend took the family on an RV trip, and with lots of TLC for Jasmine, things have improved. It appears that God has surrounded this young girl with an army of angels, and your prayers for her are being heard. May those listed here and whispered elsewhere receive similar affirmation. 3/7 – vmom deport deport deport requested prayers for GB, the husband of her friend; he just had a quadruple bypass a couple of days ago, following a heart attack. 3/10 – Warai-otoko asked for prayers for a sister-in-law with some respiratory issues, who just took a hard turn for the worse. Thanks to everyone, even if you just take a fraction of a second for it. 3/10 – Update on Susan, who we have been praying for as she battles cancer. She is hospitalized again with an infection in her colon that quickly turned bad. The doctor says the signs are sepsis but they are running tests to make sure. The good news is that the pancreatic cancer was and is responding to the chemo and her cancer numbers are going down. God bless and thank you!
3/19 Update – Susan is still in the hospital, but she is doing 100% better. The doctors are not ready to release her yet, but everything is going in the right direction. They keep saying “maybe tomorrow”.
3/23 Update – Susan finally was able to come home. She is doing better than expected. Thanks to everyone for your prayers. 3/11 – Bulg sends a prayer of thanks. He called his formerly estranged sister on her birthday, and they had a wonderful conversation. It was their second conversation since February, and there was no animosity at all. 3/11 – Doof sent his appreciation for the Horde’s prayers for his mom, who has been in post-hospitalization rehab since mid-January. She has recovered from her illnesses, but her body seems to be increasingly giving up on her. PT has become too painful and exhausting for her. She is also having increased brain fog and is rapidly losing the ability to do things like answer her phone or send texts. Continued prayers requested for her, as she is very sad, and also for Doof and his sister as they figure out what’s next.
3/16 Update – Doof’s mother is not doing very well. Her 100 days of post-hospital rehab will be ending soon, and she is not nearly recovered enough to live alone. She’s almost completely confined to bed. She will be moved to long-term care soon, and will likely be there for the rest of her life. They appreciate the prayers. 3/14 – Retired Buckeye Cop asks for prayers for Mrs. Cop’s cousin, “A.B”. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He is a retired police officer who was hit by a car years ago. He attempted to deal with the pain by self-medicating with too much Tylenol, which ended up poisoning his liver. His only alternative is a liver transplant, but he is uncertain if he wants to have surgery.
3/21 Update – A.B.’s situation isn’t quite as dire as originally thought. It’s still bad, but his readings are better than originally thought. 3/18 – TecumsehTea requests prayers, as her husband was fired from a job he enjoyed very much on 3/17. Prayers are needed for peace, direction, and clarity. They trust God will provide the right job at the right time, and that He would give them peace in the waiting. TecumsehTea is still dealing with the effects of her heart attack last July. Prayers for healing, as her BP continues to be unstable. Chronic Lyme disease and autoimmune disease complicates everything. She trusts that God is faithful and good and He will take care of their needs. 3/21 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son, who is still looking for work. He has a horticulture major, and would ideally like something related to research, but he is certainly willing to labor outdoors. 3/21 – Count de Monet gave prayers of thanks for a son who has been accepted into the IVEW Apprenticeship program. He will earn while he learns for 4 years on his way to becoming a Journeyman Electrician. 3/21 – pookysgirl asked for prayers as they start IVF again. 3/22 – Retired Buckeye Cop has a happy prayer request. His 16 year old grandson said he is feeling a call to the priesthood within the Catholic Church. He is a devout young man who has particular compassion for the poor. (He thinks he might want to be a Franciscan friar.) Please pray for L. H. as he pursues the vocation of religious life. 3/22 – JackStraw asked for prayers for IrishEi. She has been in the hospital for nearly a week. It sounds like she is on the mend, hopefully. 3/24 – NR Pax requested prayers for a friend. On Sunday, the friend went to ER after collapsing at work. After a series of tests, she was found to have pulmonary arterial hypertension. Her current prognosis is five years left to live. 3/24 – GMAC posted that he has received his death sentence. His prostate cancer has metastasized into his bones. Medication will slow it down, but there is no stopping it. He doesn’t know how much time he has, but plans to do some travelling while he can. He sends his compliments to “the wittiest group of morons” he has ever had the pleasure of reading. He will still be lurking. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

My dear friend and boss of 20 years passed away on St. Patty's day. Rather suddenly I might add.
Exactly a week before, we had our weekly catch-up call where we discussed things I was working on such. He sounded horrible. He said he had either the flu or Covid or something. I told him to go to the doctor. Little did I know he already had.
Friday rolled around and he hadn't been seen on Teams, hadn't logged in since Tuesday - and this was not normal. So I texted him. Didn't get a response. Saturday morning I called him. In what I can only explain as divine intervention - and I really am starting to believe it - I called his number and it picked up, but it was like he had butt-dialed me. I heard noises in the background but he wasn't speaking. I called out for him but he wasn't there. I called back - again it picked up on the first ring except this time I heard a voice in the background "we need to tilt the bed up so the oxygen line doesn't get kinked."
Turns out he had advanced stage 4 stomach cancer that had spread to his other organs. I flew down to Florida as soon as I found out. I saw him Sunday. Tuesday he was gone. Far toosoon

It really has gotten a bit cooler and fresher outdoors. I'm about to head out for breakfast; time for one more small coffee, though. I slept late today, 5:30, and needed that coffee and a pipe to wake up fully. (Note to those keeping score: It worked.)

Please accept my condolences on your loss.
I understand the desire not to burden others with one's problems, but I do find it annoying when a major health issue arises and it is kept secret. My mother is a habitual offender in this regard. Yes, it's one thing for every conversation to be a litany of grievance and sorrow, but a brisk update before moving onto the latest exploits of the grandkids/family/mutual friends is helpful, if for no other reason than to give notice that an in-person meeting should happen sooner rather than later.
I can't help but contrast that with my father, who talks to me several times a week and we share notes on various maladies and the decline of his wife (my stepmother).
Suffering in silence has its place, but visiting and comforting the sick is an act of mercy, and it is unfair to deny people that opportunity, especially in the early stages when one is reasonably active and still somewhat healthy.

He's going through PT and OT every day at home. Mom got some cooperative folks at the VA and a note was put in his record that he was not to have any appointments more than fifteen miles from his house.
Things are still rough as mom is handling things like taxes, investment accounts and the banking. And dad's condition is stable but it will change sooner or later. But they are living in a great retirement community and he'll be taken care of.

Awesome! Grandkids are the best. My father didn't want to have kids, and neither did my mother, until she did and, as I have seen repeatedly, when the woman changes her mind, that's it.
Anyhow, he never related well to children, but he does enjoy the grandkids and especially his great-grandkids, who he thinks of often and always asks about. When they missed school, he sent them get-well cards. He'll be having Easter brunch with us, and they are very much looking forward to seeing him.

When did that "I'm too stupid to understand what you are saying" mode of argument take root? It's all over the place. It may be funny to induce rage strokes, but it makes you look completely retarded. And also gay.
Trump's critics frequently complain about how he has "coarsened" public conversation, but I see him as a necessary corrective to over-policed PC speech where people got away with that stupidty. Don't want to be called a retard? Stop acting retarded.
And yes, that word does serve a very necessary purpose because it perfectly describe people acting intellectually disabled on purpose. Never go full retard.

No. People are getting on with their lives. I made a deliberate decision to move forward rather than dwelling on all the wrongs committed. God will take care of it. Those who refuse to repent will pay a heavier price than they - or I - can even imagine.
I think accountability has already come for some, and think it is important to remember that resolution happens on God's timeline, not yours. Getting mad because the thing you want isn't happening when you want it to is foolish and self-destructive.

Years ago a friend suggested to me that when wrestling with serious matters, I should wake up each morning and ask God to reveal himself to me, then go through my day keeping my eyes peeled for any signs, and then thank Him each evening for the day when I go to bed.
And the happy news is that I did get my answer and it has changed my life!

I had to spend a lot of time in airports the past few weeks. The amount of people who “both sides” the blame for this TSA mess is astonishing. The most astounding part is that people don’t understand simple facts such as the fact that what Democrats are attempting is not just unprecedented, it is specifically a move to support illegal aliens. Period. It’s a move meant to undermine federal immigration law and slow down their removal, in particular criminal illegal aliens.
I get that people are angry and don’t have time for politics. But if you’re going to discuss the subject at least get a fundamental understanding of the issue.

Yes, my old man is the same way.
In my friend's case however, he had gotten some bad information in the weeks preceding his death. About a month ago, he went to his PCP and said he was having severe stomach pain after eating. PCP ran some tests and got a PET scan of his stomach. Based on those results it was the opinion of the oncologist that it was non-aggressive, operable and treatable mass that was cause for concern but not life-threatening. They performed a biopsy, and after the biopsy, he took a major downturn. Thats when he went to the hospital ER, and they did a full abdomen scan and found that it had spread to his liver, colon and lungs. By the time I got there on Sunday, his kidneys and liver had already given out - he was only alive because of dialysis. I don't think he meant to keep things from me... I think he thought he at least had more time. He didn't.

I try to say a Rosary at least every week. Sometimes it seems daunting to set aside that much time for pure prayer, but it always is fruitful because when you are stuck there, as it were, you become open to new thoughts and promptings. So many times things just pop into my head, ideas of how to solve problems or understanding something difficult.
We have a ton of things moving in the back of our minds, unresolved problems, concerns, just sort of running like a subroutine that you forgot about and then, when you quiet yourself, turn to God, there it is.
Also great for setting aside wrath and lowering the ol' BP.

I think the worst part of the COVID-19 Wuhan vaccine demicide is still hidden.
Based on the emphasis on lot numbers, I expect enemies of the Deep State, identified by Google profiles, were specifically targeted. The damage and death results were correlated with American loving attitudes. Look at who we lost here.

It is now clear to me that the Democrats know that without cheating, they cannot win. That is why even senators who are normally moderate are all-in. Slotkin is in a purple state and won election by cheating. It's obvious. There is no way that people who voted for Trump then voted for Senator CIA. Impossible.

I don’t doubt that part. There is a lot we should and do leave in Gods hands. But there’s a point where you should at least do your small part and, say, vote in elections. Maybe even seek His wisdom as to the choices we make. In the end it’s His will that is done, and I can live with that.

Indeed. They don’t even hide it anymore. They have also ginned up their radical base who don’t care for good or rational outcomes. They only want their desired outcome, irrespective, and to punish anyone who gets in the way.
If that includes election fraud, and obfuscating the process, so be it.

Where does this end? Well, the next step historically has been widespread assassinations, not just of major figures but judges, law enforcement, etc. They think that this will cow the opposition because they themselves are very much afraid of physical harm. What they do not understand is that both sides can climb the escalation ladder, and the general public as a whole does not like lawlessness and violence. This was true in 1968 and it is true today.
So there will be a crackdown, and there will be martial law and they will get crushed.

Recently I philosophized that we, as individuals, tend to greet each new today as one that will be very similar to yesterday.
Then one day, we wake up to a new day that is nothing at all like any day we have ever experienced, and we simply cannot redo yesterday, although we may be able to atone for it.
I have internally paraphrased Marcus Aurelius as guidance:
"Live each today in such a manner that tomorrow you will still be proud of what you did yesterday!"

Fast forward many decades and I realized Lent should not be seem as a time of punishment but as a time to limit everyday distractions; to contemplate the lessons and actions of Christ as they apply to our lives. That awareness leads to a better appreciation of our place in the world and gives more meaning to the renewal of life as spring blossoms around us. Instead of grim continuation it leads to joy.

A huge chunk of them are wondering why we didn't do this 25 years ago, and save a lot time, money and lives. The reason why Walz, Newscum and Pritzger didn't call out the National Guard was that their generals told them it would be a federal crime and the troops would happily help arrest them. The DA in Philly bragging about arresting ICE will be immediately taken into custody.
In Spain, the 'conservative' faction was the rebels, and that caused the military and security forces to split. My great fear was that Biden would provoke armed resistance (say by trying to arrest a GOP governor of fake charges) and thereby create a flashpoint where the military would similarly be divided. That danger no longer exists.

The bloodiest part of wars generally takes place when the outcome is no longer in doubt. The tide has turned, and whether we are looking at the world wars, the American and Spanish civil wars, the pattern is borne out: one final massive bloodletting is necessary to finish the job and compel the losers to accept their fate.
The good news is that our enemies are moral and especially physical cowards. Their entire playbook is based on playing the victim, creating fake incidents of police brutality to make themselves sympathetic. The problem is that you cannot murder and then cry for mercy.
They also really think that they are the calm, restrained ones, and that all conservatives are cowards. Voluntary martyrdom is strange and scary to them. Calm courage is unknown. They cannot accept that Trump can have physical as well as moral courage, hence them insisting that he wasn't shot, or it was a hoax. He cannot be brave. Only they are brave.
And that is why they will lose

*********
NR Pax- If I may comment, a couple of things occur to me about this story. pulmonary arterial hypertension is not a single disorder. It is usually more a response to an underlying condition. If it was. detected during a preliminary evaluation for a syncope event (fainting), it was likely determined from an echocardiogram. The echo does not measure pulmonary blood pressure directly, but by an indirect method with a lot of user interpretation variability. Routine echos are not usually done with a doctor in the room. The reading doctor relies on the technician's skill level. The GP should not be relying on his own reading of the printed report. PHTN is often over diagnosed by echo. Prognosis is variable depending on these factors.
Key questions for your friend to ask would be:
1.) How severe is the PHTN? (mild, moderate, severe)
2. What is the underlying condition causing the pressure to be high?
Hopefully this will be a false alarm for her.

But this is also why Obama and later Biden tried to gut and completely transform the military. This is where the 'civilian defense force' comes from. They want to neutralize or subvert the existing structure but at the same time build their own, reliable (to them) military force.

The Covid purge was an effort to speed up the process and it backfired in a huge way. Yes, the "right people" quit, but no one but a handful of useless freaks replaced them. It's one thing to reduce a force overall while making it more ideologically loyal, but the way it happened was not a consolidation but service-wide attrition.
What that meant was that *every unit* became less capable, and the people left became overworked and also decided to quit. The ones that stuck with it were either financially stuck (so they were mailing it in while watching the calendar) or too stupid to do anything else. The loss of capability was staggering.
The defeat in Afghanistan probably had a larger effect, because it also spurred competent people to separate. So what Biden had (and Harris was supposed to inherit) was a crumbling, rusting, mission incapable force riven with internal divisions and distrustful of its leadership.

I've posted about my ordeal over the past 18 months, but the quick summary was that I had very high blood pressure, and that was treated as the primary problem but it turned out I had raging Type II diabetes, and *that* was the actual problem.

Yes, there were enough people who were capable and watching the calendar left to turn things around, and the tip of the spear managed to stay sharp.
But if you look more deeply at things, you see a pattern. Trump used only the most elite parts of the military in his first year: strategic bombers, special ops. These groups are self-selecting and the institutional safeguards are very difficult to breach. Fitness standards, intellectual capability, competence have very high baselines even to be considered.
The Navy maneuvering off Venezuela for weeks was basically extended training and a shakedown cruise. The reason the Navy and Air Force are the tip of the spear right now is because you can take the cream off of both quite easily and build "rainbow packages" (composite, not gay) from multiple units/fleets and they will be able work together seamlessly. The Army cannot do that. Troops need to train together for months to be effective. Space Force is similar - tiny, niche, nerd-centric.

Happy to see so many familiar faces, er, nics.Haven't been around much during the weekday threads so feels good to catch up on the weekend.
About not telling people what is going on with one's health: most of the time when people ask How are you, they don't really want to know. It is like saying Hello. Sometimes offers to help are just a rote response. Like Have a good day. You know the people you can count on to actually be there if you do need help. This is why the Horde is unique. This is why this thread makes a difference. Sometimes just a word, a prayer, a text makes a difference.
Thanks to all of you for being here.

Maybe in the immediate post 9/11 aftermath I felt that urge, but today it seems like they're more than willing to sacrifice us when they should be harvesting organs from illegals and migrants.
That and I doubt anyone would want my 50 something kidney or dick anyway.

Joshua Allen, who won “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 4, was hit and killed by a train in Texas last year. Six months after his death, the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office determined his death to be a suicide resulting from blunt force trauma.

I'm resigned to expecting less than zero. It is head-shaking, but it doesn't agitate me.
I hope this sheriff gets jail time, along with the horse he rode in on.
I suspect the Sheriff's office will have to be placed into a receivership of sorts, under the auspices of the Colorado State Sheriffs' Association, with outside officers brought in from other counties for some time. The county already does not keep any arrestees in custody due to understaffing. They all get sent to Archuleta County (Pagosa Spgs)

This is exactly where we are in the Iran war now. Some think the US is hesitating, fearful to go into that final phase. I believe, however, that the complete blackout on any real news about this war lately is a sign that preparations are under way for something very big that is coming soon.

A former immigration employee from Delaware County pleaded guilty to soliciting bribes from immigrants
Amara Dukuly accepted $6,000 from a confidential informant and made false promises about what he could do to help the man remain in the United States. Mar. 25, 2026
In part, "Prosecutors said in court documents that Dukuly, 42, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Liberia, had for years been accused by immigrants of approaching them and requesting cash in exchange for promises of providing assistance with their immigration cases."
(Even told a man he could have a terrorist designation removed from his record. 🙄 )

For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Pennsylvania
Former Immigration Officer Pleads Guilty to Accepting Bribe
In part, "As detailed in court filings, from approximately 2015 to his arrest in June 2025, Dukuly used his status as a USCIS employee to solicit bribes from individuals, in exchange for promises to help them obtain assistance with their immigration status."

Pres. Trump is moving the equivalent of an Airborne/Air-mobile Infantry Division into the area. There is zero doubt in my mind that U.S. forces are going to seize Kharg island.
Now that the various neighboring Arab states are publicly imploring Pres. Trump to destroy the Islamic regime in Iran, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the mullahs are now completely isolated. Much of the Iranian populace hate them, and the neighboring states finally feel free to express it too.

On March 29, we observe National Vietnam Veterans Day, a day set aside to recognize and honor the men and women who served during the Vietnam War. This date marks the departure of the final U.S. combat troops from Vietnam in 1975, making it a meaningful point of reflection in our nation’s history."
From the VA. There were no combat troops in Vietnam in 1975.

Daily News Stuff 28 March 2026
Top Story
- Windows crashes three times as often as MacOS. (TechSpot)
MacOS is that bad, huh?
Some glitches with the sites aside, this server has been running nonstop for two years, and that's pretty typical for Linux. It only reboots when you reboot it.
- Meanwhile some people at Microsoft are fighting to bring an end to mandatory online accounts for Windows. (Windows Centra)
Nice to have a hobby.
I'm not expecting them to succeed here.
Tech News
- LG is shipping 1Hz display panels for laptops. (PC World)
That is they can refresh as little as once per second, if you're just sitting there looking at a static screen - or up to 120Hz if the display is active.
Apple's new MacBook Neo has a phone CPU that uses as little as 4W, but still has fairly mid-tier battery life. What's draining all that power?
You guessed it.
The panels are already shipping as the default choice in Dell's latest XPS models.
- SK Hynix, the third of the big three memory manufacturers, is planning a US IPO this year to raise funds for expansion. (Tech Crunch)
The share offering is expected to be small - about 2% of the total stock - but will value the company at $500 to $700 billion.
SK Hynix reported 50% revenue growth and 100% growth in profits in 2025 - and only the last couple of months of that were in the DRAM Apocalypse - so I don't think they'll have a hard time finding buyers.
- Meanwhile production constraints at TSMC are pushing customers to look to Samsung for their chips. (WCCFTech)
Not that TSMC is having problems, just that demand is outstripping supply.
To the point that Tesla is building its own chips foundry.
- On the AI side of things, it's not all slop. (The Register)
Recent reports of open-source projects - including Linux - being overwhelmed by useless AI-generated bug reports have ameliorated into useful AI-generated bug reports.
Nobody knows exactly why the change, but this is something I am personally in favour of. Testing in-depth is time-consuming and painfully boring, precisely the sort of job you'd give to an junior developer with clinical OCD in the good old days.
Now everyone has a junior developer with clinical levels of OCD.

Iran has been "plunged into digital darkness" for a month due to the war in the Middle East, reports internet monitoring group NetBlocks.
... Authorities in Iran use a two-tiered system where only members of the regime are allowed online, with most citizens restricted to a domestic 'National Information Network'.

I'll run by the tire store this morning. Their site advertises Continental tires in my size for $174, while TireRack has $220, and my mechanic was quoted $200/ea. for Kellys. I don't know if he's ordered them yet; I'll call first thing on Monday. I'd hate to spend that if I can get the car an even better pair of round black things for $50 less.

The growing normalization of government-assisted suicides in places like Canada and Spain is horrific.
There were 15,500 MAID suicides in Canada in 2023.
That means a Canadian was nearly 3X more likely to die via a MAID suicide than an American from a gunshot that year.

Anyway, the furry thugs are fine. Little Dagny had her fourth birthday, and we sent a pic of her to her breeder -- to prove, Miss Linda says, that Dagny is still alive and loved, and has flourished. As she is, and has.
And oddly, the big black Stirling did not wake me this morning. Full credit to him.

There is a cool collection of his you can look for called Love Ain't Nothing But Sex Misspelled. Not fantasy stories, but dramatic, non-genre ones. I had him sign my copy when he spoke at a Denver college in '98. (He gave me a sharp look, like "Why aren't you buying my latest book instead of handing me this old paperback?", but signed it anyhow.)

Tiger Woods' back issues stem from a combination of natural degeneration and overuse injuries. His back problems have been a recurring challenge throughout his career, leading to multiple surgeries. Woods has had a total of seven back surgeries since 2014, including a lumbar disc replacement in October 2025. The surgery aimed to address a collapsed disc and chronic pain, which Woods had been experiencing. Despite the surgery, Woods has faced ongoing back spasms and pain, impacting his performance and recovery.

I've driven that road many times. It is one lane each way, slow speeds. His house is barely a quarter mile from the wreck site, so he was probably coming or going from there. Thank heavens no one else got hurt.
Pain medicine addiction is common nowadays. Our own Rush Limbaugh suffered from a similar problem. Any golfer can tell you the game is hell on your back, and Tiger also has the injuries from his LA accident to contend with. He's previously gone to a rehab center but that obviously did not take.

I believe it. If Muslims could direct their energy to actual science instead of hating The Juice, they'd get a lot further. But they can't, because their religion demands that hate.
And don't buy into the "Muslims invented things!" nonsense. It was recently conquered communities that invented things, and it was always regressive afterwards.

Our church prints any birthday over 80 in the bulletin, the pastor mentions it from the pulpit, and it's noted in the monthly birthday list. Since our county in one of the oldest-living in the US, at least two are mentioned every week. But we also have a lot of baptisms, so we're pretty well-balanced.

I looked up the case because I was curious. The end result was that Ulysses was deemed *not* obscene and therefore it could be imported, printed, and distributed within the boundaries of the United States after all was said and done.
I've never read it, but I can't imagine it's anything like the smut that's peddled to children nowadays in school libraries.

Indeed. Also suitable for ice cream. And various breakfasty fruits and syrups, even yogurt as long as there's enough syrup.
More than half a century ago, MiladyJo and I made our first domestic purchase together, a waffle iron from Montgomery Ward's. Tried to use it recently and discovered the heating element now cooked the counter it was sitting on more than the waffle. Sad.

Hey! Yes, she is asleep, but on the couch. The meds and everything from the day is making her dizzy when she stands up and she is worried if she has to use the restroom. Her bedroom is upstairs, she wanted to be sure I could hear her. She has oxycodone, but she is just so little, barely a hundred pounds, so it’s messing with her.

I get it, they believe the currency is the product of illicit or illegal activities. But the Western legal theory is a presumption of innocence. They have to prove you’re guilty.
Except …. with “civil asset forfeiture”. So, the novel legal concept here - they charge the cash with a crime, not the person. Pretty slick, huh?

If it's a solid pill, maybe scored, you could cut it in half when she's not so dizzy. Or if pain hits later tonight or in the morning. She may not need it (hope not).
Ice packs for 24hrs kept our sons from any swelling, which prolongs healing and adds to discomfort. Soft ice packs to each jaw and tied with a wrap or dishcloth. They looked like loons (or bunnies) but cooperated.
Had them done on the same day. The younger was a pale, sleepy and groggy mess from anesthesia. Older guy was giddy and yappy and bled more (I told him this and he slept). Did pretty well after the first day. By HS they were both taller than me so my husband had to walk both to bed.
Ice really is awful at first but then numbs. My kids's baby sitter did not use ice and it showed, so that was what I reminded them about.

It's the classic example of a 'wartime expedient' that becomes normalized for fun and profit. The drug trade was so lucrative that it was possible to bribe just about everyone involved using untraceable cash, so cash itself was made the crime, but once that happened, motivated prosecutors decided to just roll with it, any every Depression-era grannie who didn't trust a bank with her life savings became a criminal.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at March 27, 2026 10:47 PM (ZOv7s)
Acetaminophen is not poison when taken in the recommended doses, but it can be toxic and lead to serious health issues, including liver failure, if taken in excessive amounts. It is important to follow dosage guidelines to avoid acetaminophen toxicity.
Acetaminophen overdose can lead to severe liver failure and death. It is responsible for a significant number of emergency room visits and fatalities each year in the United States.

How is he? It's so fun and wonderful! Glad you are getting him.
We have our girl about once a week. She gave me the cold, but it is worth it to be part of their lives. The cold did not faze her.
The older two consider this their second home. We are very lucky they are 10min away.
I'm also lucky that my dude loves babies and kids. He told me a week ago I was "hogging her" and demanded equal time. Never having girls (brothers and sons) it's interesting to see how they react to their Dad and grandfather. I think they flirt from infancy. Both girls tried to remove his moustache and grandson didn't notice.
She's the easiest baby I have ever known. Talks to herself and puts herself to sleep! I think due to being surrounded by love with her siblings she's happy always. A surprise for 2025 from God!

Yes, really that was the plan. Morton-Thiokol was ecstatic about this, as one might imagine.
As sole source provider of the SRBs, they were a bit touchy anytime it was suggested that maybe other firms should be allowed to bid for booster production. This was a controversial issue, and “some say” a factor that led to NASA management having more leverage than they ought to have had over Morton-Thiokol, pressuring them to sign off on cold weather launch.

Along with the pad you need a processing facility with high bay cleanrooms and s**t. I'm not sure if it was ever built or is still there but repurposed.
Living near Seal Beach and the former McDonnel-Douglas (now Boeing) rocket plant*, I've spotted a couple of buildings that I recognize as path-finders for similar facilities at the Cape...
*most of it's gone now.....same with the MCD airplane factory at Long Beach airport. From the 405 I used to be able to see MD-80's, etc in final stages of assembly waiting for their final paint parked alongside the runway.

Well, if your intention long term is to cripple the US Space program, that’s exactly the kind of thing you’d want put out, (and what you would want the propaganda outlets to parrot). They lie about everything else, why would this be any different.
From a purely engineering standpoint, Apollo was a dead end. Admirably suited to accomplishing JFKs mandate to land on the Moon before the decade was out, it was not well positioned to do much else.
They could have made use of the heavy lift capacity of the Saturn V however. The early plans were for over 100 launches, that’s why the VAB has 4 huge doors and 4 bays, they had the capability to really crank them out. Only 12 were built, something like that.

I wouldn't say the Saturn V (still the greatest rocket ever flown -- Starship may claim that title, but not yet) was a dead end. They had all sorts of plans to build on it.
But as mentioned above, all the funding got cancelled and they went with the stupid Shuttle, dicking around in LEO.
Had things gone as they were envisioning, we'd have long had a Moon base, there would've have been manned landings on Mars, and right now, we be having manned mission to the Jovian system.

But probably the biggest problem is we never found a great way to monetize space.
European colonization took off because there was gold, spices, fish, etc, etc to be had venturing into the unknown. Space, at least to the moon and maybe even to Mars/Venus has nothing really that valuable.
I do wonder though if we should have built our largest particle colliders in orbit or the moon. Yes the risk of a bad outcome was always small but not zero...

Artemis 2 is a repeat of Apollo 8 (but not as much, because they aren't going into lunar orbit -- as it is, the SLS doesn't have the capacity to put Orion in low lunar orbit -- not enough fuel reserve margin).
Now, Artemis 3 was supposed to the landing. But Isaacman, trying to get this thing actually viable and not the boondoggle it's becoming, has retooled Artemis 3 to be, you guessed it, a repeat of Apollo 9. They will test the lunar lander (a modified Starship which hopefully Elon will have ready in time) in LEO.
The landing will have to wait til Artemis 4. Unless they decide to make that a repeat of Apollo 10, which they might well ought to.

I visited Vandenberg on a work trip in the late 80s. The hook, in fact, was the alternative Shuttle launch facility, plus SDI stuff. Our first meeting was with the base commander.
After about 15 minutes of enthusiastic, detailed descriptions of the site's incredible ecology and wildlife (all true), I started to think - is this the Air Force, or the National Park Service? Afterwards we all had the same joking thought. He did eventually did get to the SLC, Minuteman testing, and SDI stuff.
Have only been back once - riding the Solvang Century event, had a serious muscle problem going up the yuuuge grade on the base, and dropped out at mile 60. Oh - and several dinners at Hitching Post #1 in Casmalia, which is on the reservation, near the golf course. Highly recommended, for anyone passing through that gorgeous part of the CA coast.

Gotcha. In my mind, they just go together.
There's an interesting story about Lunar Orbit Rendezvous. The other options were Direct Ascent (while shebang goes to the Moon and lands directly) and Earth Orbit Rendezvous (at least two launches to LEO, Moonship is assembled in LEO to land on Moon).
The NASA top brass favored Direct Ascent mostly, and wasn't too keen on LOR at all. One of the engineers went out on a limb and bypassed the chain of command to advocate for LOR. He realized that was the only way we could do it before 1970. Direct Ascent was going to required a much bigger rocket (Saturn C-8 config at least, if you want to look the history of that. Another big one was the Nova class rocket idea).
Do you want to go to the Moon or not? That was the question that settled on LOR.

Nobody thought this was a good idea. He wasn’t the first to suggest it, but he made it happen. They had to talk Wehrner and his re-formulated Peenemunde working group there down in Huntsville on the deal, too. Eventually, they gave something like a two hour briefing on how their idea was better, but ….we’ve decided to go along with LOR.
What amazes me, is at some point somebody has to “freeze” designs, and say “this is it”, because prototypes have to be built, contractors have to know what they are building, how will it fit to the other parts?, etc.

I just got to looking at Direct Ascent and the Nova/Saturn C-8 rocket notions. Here's one of many little simulations of direct ascent:
https://is.gd/fVfOkb
These guys get the C-8 and Nova all mixed up. They were two different drawing board families entirely.

No need to take Kharg, or damage its oil facilities.
Unless they've already rigged it Mad Max/RoadWarrior Style. Why wouldn't they?

There are design loops. Initial preliminary sizing goes into design of long lead castings/forgings and the like. Then you iterate on everything else in loops. Mass properties, structures, aero, systems, manufacturing, all converge on reality. The closer you are to reality at the later design loops the more expensive the changes. So you make big changes early and tiny changes at the end managing margins as you go. Or you miss something and a big change at the end kills the whole program and maybe the entire company.

Might be more valid to fill a bucket exactly brim-full with water, weigh it, then fully immerse a boob, displacing a volume of water equal to the volume of the boob, and then remove the boob, and weigh the bucket again. Water weight lost = weight of boob. In the interest of science, use cold water.

When I had my wisdom teeth cut/chiseled out, late 1980s, they gave me morphine to deal with the pain.
It worked..... I felt no pain in my jaw.
But I had a headache that felt like someone drilled a hole 4" deep into my frontal cortex, and emptied a bottle labeled "pure liquid pain, 199 proof" into the hole.
I didn't take a second morphine pill. Tylenol was enough after that shit. * curls up in fetal position, crying like a newborn *

Never underestimate your enemy. I don't think Trump has but I also don't think the American public has full grasp of who we are dealing with. Iran has been preparing for decades, Hamas on steroids. Pull up your bootstraps and buckle in. This isn't going to be over for awhile. That said this was too long in coming. If Trump had waited I would wager that we were close to waking up to JJ letting us know that Iran had just tested a nuclear weapon. The scenarios that accompany that are only limited by your imagination.

Had to look that one up. Would look right at home on a Model T Ford, LOL. You know, that Hobbit-dick intake manifold can't be doing much for low-end torque. Not enough of an air column for inertia to develop. Look at a VW Beetle engine; there is at least a foot of manifold runner between the carb flange and any intake port. Really helps with low-speed operation. Has anyone ever tried tuned intake tracts on Harley V-twins?

Possible custom intake for Panhead: get two variable-choke carbs like Amal or Mikuni. One sits on the left side of each cylinder. "S" shaped intake tubes connect front carb to rear cylinder, and rear carb to front cylinder. Pipes brazed together where they cross between cylinders, with maybe a 1/4" passage between them to balance cylinder vacuum.

There are guys who did things like that. If you go with a better carb like an S&S you get a long manifold, plus there are aftermarket companies that make longer manifolds for other carbs which all have the same mounting bolt pattern. They even make dual throat carbs with special manifolds that isolate each cylinder. When it comes to harleys frigging guys out there have done it all.

Yes I do, not in Australia, but I do have a gun and 10K rounds of ammo in the US, it's stored with a friend of mine who lives a bit away from where I "maintain a residence" it's my mom's place, but he knows to not touch it. though I think he's used up my ammo and was a little iffy on replacing it.
In either case, they are shocked that I'm so casual about it. "You have a gun" some in envy, some in horror.
It's a FUCKING TOOL! I HOPE you don't have a gun you fucking psycho's who want one, and ESPECIALLY you cowards who would accidentally shoot a toddler trying to drop it off in the fucking mail box.
The FEAR and Excitement of guns makes me think Australia is lost (it is, but I have to put up hope because my wife is Australian, so can't bash them . . . well, I bash them a LOT, Albanese makes it easy, and Dutton basically was a toddler shitting the bed, but, well. .

I live in Australia. All of the international news is filtered through the BBC on radio. I can either listen to the "news" knowing it's wrong on ABC 1-99 because all broadcast news is owned by the government, or I can tune into one of the music stations and listen to "Thunderstruck" for three hundred 45 million 2 12th time.
"Thunderstruck" or "Better" for almost as many times, with a slight interlude of "Riptide."

Anyhow, years ago a friend contracted to set up a wine/ beer bottling line in Perth and he really liked the people and area. Aussies found out he liked moto enduro riding and lent him a CR 500 to ride. He was impressed since we have great AA enduro trail riding here in NorCal.

In Australia since I have been down here(8 years, and I have still never used the word "mate" other than sarcastically), and I mention that I'm from Chicago, only after they ask me where I'm from. I'm not down here to plant a flag or any shit like that, I'm here because I only have my mom in America, and America, but as my wife, who is Australian, says, I "Carry America and Freedom with me," Yes my wife really did say that. As Grace Randolph would say, "Soooooooo" but in a far less retarded voice, I had a choice, support my wife who has a lot of family here in Australia, or live with my mom and watch her die, (I know horrible summary, but it's the truth.) so I chose my wife, and now we have a kid, so I'm down here.
There is a LOT of NOISE talking, I won't call it "Shit talking" a lot of NOISE talking.

Australia were early adopters of reddit testicles. I can speak from experience because the first time I came down here back in '98, someone threatened to kill me online before I visited my wife the first time, and he was her neighbor. For the first week that I was here he stayed with a friend until my wife and I started our trip around the nation.
It's a legacy built on the fact that VERY VERY FEW Australians know anyone who has sacrificed in the military, or in life, and it goes back a long way.
I served with Australian Army, and the ARMY are the real deal, everyone thinks they are better than everyone, only the Marines and the SOC boys are true, but you SHOULD respect your armed forces

YES!
Mandatory "participation" in elections, you MUST attend, even if you don't vote, otherwise you will be fined, there are like 20 fucking parties on the sheets, most people just apply for party, ,and that automatically replaces number 1 for number 2 in the ranked choice voting, which automatically drowns out the second ballot for any of the "conservative" parties, of which there are only 2, and only one somewhat viable but Kat has been a lightning rod for . . .what? 14 years now? so basically the voting scheme is designed to shove the overton window to the child safety seat, not to the left, but damn near out the fucking door.

So I'm down here, and my wife said, something along the lines about how it was a shit election, and she doesn't know what she's gonna pick, but she had no choice. You HAVE to show up, and my wife, voted where she knew, and where she trusted, and didn't where she didn't. Totally reasonable, but it was REQUIRED, and she wouldn't have voted at all, also she got drunk before hand, well not drunk but drinking, and intended to be well and good drunk during results. We were in our first year of marriage, fucking and drinking and eating a lot, that's how things go, so I drove her to the polling area, and I walked with her for moral support.
If you think that the polling barkers are bad in the US. . DUDE!

EXCEPT ON VOTING DAY! There are party flyers fucking EVERYWHERE!
Since I'm walking with my wife, who CAN vote, and Me, an American, who REFUSES to even be a citizen, because I'm American, we are just attacked with these flyers.
My wife is making up her mind, the flyers aren't going to change her mind, and I can't vote so don't give me a flyer.

I was like, okay, it was like when I enlisted, only far more bitch, When I enlisted, all of the other branches tried to bribe me, and when I took the PASVAB for the Marines, my recruiter said I might not be happy in The Corps, because I was in high 90's afqt estimate, he figured I would want a bonus from the AF or Navy.
Anyways, ONP just wanted you to CHOOSE to read the flyer, so I grabbed it, my hands were already full, my wife voted and wife was so pissed, angry, not drunk, she decided to drive back home, and I read the flyers.
Standard shit. The greens "Make a Better Healthier Future" with no plan. "A more affordable and equitable living for " from labor without an actual plan. on and on and on.
Then ONP, which at the time was SATAN, because Pauline is kinda easy to dislike if you don't listen to her and her reasoning.
ONP ONLY ONP actually had a list of policies they would

I turned to my wife, who hated Pauline viscerally, my wife is Aboriginal, and it's ASSUMED that Pauline hates Aboriginals, when really she just wants ALL Australians, to be Australian, at least on that point, and I read the flyers in random order.
And the one she agreed with most, was . . . ONP.
Take away the party titles, just list the things they wan't to achieve, in EVERY CASE other than ONP, it was just words that had no substance, and then in comes ONP, and they actually had a . . . .shit. . .
What was it that Gingrich published back in the 90's? Contract with America? Pauline had that in her election flyer, even though it would piss some off, it would inform others.
But. . Bluster, bravado, build, but no talent is the foundation of Australian greatness.
Which Pisses me off. . . Australia should NOT be as fucked as they are now.

As I said to a coworker talking about how fuel prices are skyrocketing and he's wondering if he should panick, he forgot I'm American and I said, "Don't know, but I'll get to work and not care, shit happens, and I REALLY don't care, because I'm American, you're stuck with this shit."

And yeah. All of the western nations, other than the US, thanks to the second Amendment and a formerly VERY strong national history have pussed out and surrendered. They start with "small" stuff that costs a lot, and larger stuff that creates debt, and then outright capitulation that leads to failure.
All of the western europe that joined nato, the US is Nato, everyone else are tagalongs now, surrendered and think they had the swagger they had back then, even though they never did, and now far less so.
It's a shame, The Three nations that controled the see's before WWI, and into WWII are now just boating communities with very well payed pilots.
That's why the 3% goal is a lie. The money isn't going to defense, it's going to contracts, and kickbacks.
I don't want Europe to Die, and I don't want Australia to die as they used to be, but Europe and Australia are choosing that for themselves, and it breaks my heart.
I live down in Australia, and even if I am present as it falls and become a singular fighter against it? I don't care. It's an American, someone

I just want to say that you won't be seeing me around here as much as you're used to.
I have become addicted to AoSHQ.
Addiction is generally a bad thing, and my addiction to this site has led to some bad behaviors on my part. One of my outbursts led my getting banned for a week by Doof, one of my best friends among the Horde.
I do not blame Doof for this. He was perfectly justified in my banning. Doof, I hope that you and I can still be friends.
So, for the time being, you'll be hearing less from me, though I will still lurk. And comment occasionally, especially if puns or boobs are in play.

Not that familiar with Prince Sultan base but overhead following first attack showed normal/peace-time ramp use (planes parked in fairly close rows). Would think that place would have hardened shelter option (certainly no expense was spared).
Could be size of planes, or available shelter space. But still - dispersal would great reduce damage from leakers that get through defenses.

Thanks, Great One. I did call the cops. I was on the phone with them when he fled. My phone didn't let me take pictures or videos of him or his car while I was on the phone with LE, or I was just to flustered with rage to execute. I could and should have simply overpowered him and taken the keys from his ignition until LE arrived. Hindsight. I gave a description of car and perp, but I have little confidence that my Blue City's crack detectives will lift a finger to investigate.

Thankful you were not hurt. Be aware your neck may be sore later or tomorrow. That happens with most rear-ends, especially if you were sitting in traffic and he hit you.

In the new car I was sitting at a light and a girl hit me going about 35mph, did not slow down at all. I had a headrest and seatbelt in my '69 Impala. I got out of the car and my bumper was dented a bit, but her radiator was blowing water and her car a mess.She was a mess.
She was weeping inside her car and I asked if she and granny were ok (see! I can be nice!). She said yes. Then I said, "Well, I hope you have insurance!" and stomped off to call my mother from a store.
My neck was sore that night but I was mostly mad. She was a simple white girl whose name was Fairy Lyn. I remember it because it was weird. I guess she had insurance as my parents dealt with it.
I'm glad you did not mess with the illegal, Fraiser. Altho, heaven knows what I would have done. I'd probably still be draped and dead across his hood at mamacita's.

With dread, I look at my car. You remember that gas cap with the Mustang logo under plastic window? The plastic had an almost invisible crack in it. That was it.

The Week in Woke
Remember when Biden assigned Trump a bunch of fat 5'1" housefraus as his Secret Service "protection" detail during a very heated presidential campaign?
Remember how we all thought, "When Trump wins, I hope he assigns the Bidens the same D-List Dregs"? Well... Promise Made, Promise Kept.A U.S. Secret Service agent accidentally shot himself Friday morning while on duty during a security detail for former first lady Jill Biden at Philadelphia International Airport, according to officials and local reports. The incident unfolded around 8:30 a.m. as agents were assisting with movement through the airport, a heavily trafficked hub at that hour. Authorities said the agent's service weapon discharged while he was handling it, striking him in the leg. The injury was described as non-life-threatening, and the agent was transported to a nearby hospital where he is reported to be in stable condition. A spokesperson for the United States Secret Service characterized the shooting as a "negligent discharge," indicating the weapon fired unintentionally. Officials emphasized that there was no disruption to the protectee's schedule and that Jill Biden was not present at the time the weapon went off.

Trans woman dressed up like Blues Brothers allegedly murdered millionaire developer in LASuspicious person? SUSPICIOUS PERSON?! What was so "suspicious"? Her COURAGE?! Her TRANS JOY?!!
A transgender woman dressed up like a Blues Brother allegedly murdered a millionaire developer in his Los Angeles home before having an hours-long standoff with a SWAT team, authorities said. Eleanor Beaulieu, 39, was charged Sunday in the killing of Demetrius Doukoullos and is being housed in Los Angeles County's Men's Central Jail, according to inmate records. Cops responded to check on Doukoullos, 92, at his Hermosa Beach home around 12:30 p.m. Saturday after his realtor hadn't heard from him for about a week, police said. "It began as a routine welfare check and escalated to a suspected homicide," Hermosa Beach Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Keagan Dadigan said on Monday.
Neighbors reported a foul odor coming from the home and sightings of a suspicious person, according to Easy Reader News.
Why are you bigots so prejudiced against transgender murderers with guns?
... When police arrived, Beaulieu told them he was armed, Dadigan said, leading to a tense seven-hour standoff. "That subject made statements about being armed and dangerous and then barricaded themselves inside the residence," authorities said, KTLA5 reported.
Eventually, an officer warned Beaulieu through a bullhorn that they would force their way in. "Eleanor, come out with your hands up. This has been going on long enough," the officer yelled repeatedly, the Daily Mail reported. Law enforcement sources told NBC4 that Doukoullos' body was partially decomposed with signs of trauma.The New York Post had previously Respecced the Pronouns but it admirably calls this Trans Hero of Bravery "he" and "him" throughout the account. Why do Utah politicians need to be told to honor the detainer of a Mexican illegal alien who slit a woman's throat?!
... Beaulieu has been charged with homicide. His bail has been set to $2 million.
Federal authorities have confirmed that a suspect charged with attempted murder for slashing a woman's throat and leaving her to die in Utah is an illegal alien from Mexico. ... Ramirez-Padilla reportedly told authorities he and the woman smoked meth together and admitted he "had been having thoughts of killing someone, and today, he decided that he was going to kill (the woman)." "Jesus said he strangled (the woman) from behind while they were both standing until (she) became unconscious and fell to the ground. Once on the ground, Jesus placed his hands around (her) neck and continued (choking her)." "Jesus said he wanted to take (the woman) out of her misery and then used a blade to cut her throat two or three times. Jesus told detectives he intended to kill (the woman). Jesus told detectives his state of mind was altered from ingesting drugs," an arrest affidavit stated. ... In a statement provided exclusively to Border Hawk, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed that Ramirez-Padilla is an illegal alien from Mexico who entered the U.S. at an unknown location and date. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer against Ramirez-Padilla and is urging local authorities to not release him back into the community. "Jesus Alejandro Ramirez-Padilla is a dangerous criminal illegal alien who violently strangled and slit a woman's throat multiple times," said DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "We are calling on politicians to not release this barbaric criminal from jail and into American neighborhoods. This criminal illegal alien has no place in American communities."Can we revoke statehood? Asking for a friend. The Atlantic cries: Why aren't campus radicals occupying buildings, living illegally in tent cities, and bullying Jews like in the good old days of 2023-2024? You know who the authoress blames? That's right, Frank Stallone. No but really she blames Trump.
Where Are All the Campus Protests?O what dark delights this reporter is showing me!
Two years ago, students occupied buildings and colonized the quad. Now the same places are strangely silent. The events of the past three months seem almost perfectly engineered to spark campus unrest. In January, mass-deportation operations led to the brazen killing of U.S. citizens at the hands of masked immigration agents. In February, the Environmental Protection Agency declared that it would no longer regulate greenhouse-gas emissions. A few weeks later, the Trump administration joined forces with Israel to launch an attack on Iran without congressional approval. One might expect left-leaning college students to have practically started a revolution. But campuses across the country--places where, just two years ago, students occupied buildings and colonized the quad to protest Israel's war against Hamas--are strangely silent. These days, those same students mostly head to class. The extent of the change is jarring. David Sengthay, a Stanford senior and the head of the undergraduate-student senate, told me that protests typified the university's history, up to and including his first two years in Palo Alto. But by the time he returned as a junior, in fall 2024, something was different. "My class is the last class to really witness what happened at Stanford during its peak organizing," he said. "People come to Stanford, these young students, and they don't have access to what was promised to them. I know we're not UC Berkeley, but, I mean, we still protested the Vietnam War." This might seem like an abrupt and mysterious reversal in campus culture. In fact, it's a sign that student protest was never a fact of nature, but rather an administrative choice. Universities chose to let campus demonstrations get out of control; now they're choosing to suppress them. This is why, even as legal challenges have blocked the Trump administration from enacting much of its higher-education agenda, the president has clearly achieved his aim of ending the protest movement. He has been able to do so largely because university leaders, tired of the chaos they had allowed to thrive, were quietly on board. ... But the protests soon spun out of control... That winter and spring, elite-university presidents were hauled in front of Congress to testify about protesters' conduct and their response to instances of anti-Semitism at the demonstrations. The presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Columbia, and Northwestern subsequently resigned, unable to justify their decisions either to Congress or to their own outraged board members and donors.
The hearings marked a turning point. Universities began taking more aggressive action against protesters. According to Ted Mitchell, the president of the American Council on Education, the sector's largest trade group, the angry backlash from Congress gave some administrators political cover to do what they privately had already wanted to do....
Once Donald Trump assumed office, shutting down disruptive protests took on even more urgency. Almost immediately, the president signed executive orders promising to investigate and discipline protesters for anti-Semitism. Universities began taking action against their own students before Trump could do so. At Yale, about 200 students began forming an encampment to protest Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir speaking at an event near campus. Administrators told students to disperse, disciplined repeat offenders, and ended Yale's association with a chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. At Columbia, when students occupied a library room ahead of finals week, the university immediately called in the police. "Colleges are doing what they can to try to stay out of the spotlight," Robert Kelchen, a professor of education policy at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, told me. At the same time, some academics think that the students themselves are different: Whether because of concerns about the worsening job market or a cultural shift rightward, they seem less interested in raising hell on campus.
What's clear is that the cost of doing so has gone up. Last March, the Trump administration detained and attempted to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate student who had led many of the anti-Israel protests. Later that month, federal agents detained Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts University graduate student who had written an opinion piece supporting Palestine. Other students had their active immigration status revoked for activism around Palestine
... "Students don't even know: Am I waiting to get in trouble by the dean, or am I waiting to get in trouble by, like, DHS?" Amanda Nordstrom, who leads the Campus Rights Advocacy department for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, told me. ... Sengthay said that he and other Stanford students had envisioned college as a "playground for free speech and democracy" before the greater responsibilities and pressures of adult life. They've since discovered that the rules of the game have changed.
[Daily Mail:] William Shakespeare's birthplace will be de-colonised over fears that portraying his success as the 'greatest' playwright 'benefits the ideology of white European supremacy'. ...It wants to 'create a more inclusive museum experience' and announced it will move away from Western perspectives after concerns were raised that Shakespeare's ideas were used to advance 'white supremacy' ideas. The trust also said that some of its items could contain language or depictions that are racist, sexist, or homophobic. It comes amid an ongoing backlash against the writer. Some productions of his works have been slapped with trigger warnings for misogyny, racism and 'problematic radicalised dynamics' that link whiteness to beauty.

Remember when we used to think that lawyers are smart? Well, maybe only some of us did. But it was a widely-believed myth. In a high-profile murder appeal before the Georgia Supreme Court, the "lawyer" -- an Assistant DA, and I imagine a DEI hire -- used ChatGTP to do her "research," and the AI invented a bunch of fake cases which she cited in her motion without even bothering to look them up to see if they even existed. The judge did check to see if they existed:
So before you sit down, there's one more thing I need to ask you about, unfortunately. In reviewing the trial court's order denying the motion for new trial, there are at least five citations to cases that don't exist. And there's at least five more citations to cases that do not support the proposition for which they're cited, including three quotations that don't exist. My understanding is that you prepared the order for new trial -- uh, the denial order -- for the trial court. Were those citations in the version of the order that you submitted to the trial court?
"DEI is a cancer upon the body politic, but not overly so." -- Stuff Jefferson Said, volume 4, revised and expanded edition Another Karen, who is also skilled in the Art of Defeating the Male Gaze, blatantly lies to judge as the judge tells her she's obviously lying. The spring breaker who "twerked" while atop a speeding Jeep, and who was then thrown from the vehicle, has died of his injuries.
The judge asked if the fake cases were used in the state's brief to deny the woman a new trial. At first, Clayton County Assistant District Attorney Chantel Leslie said, "No, your honor, I do not believe so." But the judge fixed her with a dead stare and intoned, "So those those non-existent cases were cited in your initial brief opposing the motion for new trial." She replied, "Your honor, I'm not aware of that, but I would be glad to research that and provide the court with a supplement." That's OK, dipstick lady prosecutor, the wonderful legal site, The Volokh Conspiracy, did your job for you. The website found that, yes, both the initial and revised orders cited the bogus cases.
Video here. It shows this idiot twerking, but not the part where he's thrown from the vehicle, though the clip does end with post-incident video of people standing around looking at his body. There is, supposedly, blurry video from the camera in the Tesla showing his body flipping end over end towards the road, but I won't link that. Apparently twerking while hanging outside speeding vehicle is a trend for the young and deeply brain-damaged. I'll just link this clip, as it results in some good Justice for the Stupid, but completely non-lethal Justice for the Stupid.
A 22-year-old spring breaker who was caught on viral video half-naked and twerking on top of a speeding SUV has died after he was flung from the Jeep in a drunken crash. ... The deadly spring break saga unfolded March 14 when a shirtless Brown was filmed dancing suggestively on the Jeep's roof as it sped down Highway 361, cops said. Brown was thrown from the vehicle when the alleged drunk driver of the SUV, Riley Rhoades, smashed into a Tesla during the chaotic joyride. Separate footage taken by horrified witnesses in the aftermath showed first responders treating Brown in the middle of the highway as the driver and fellow passengers -- all clad in swimsuits -- watched. ... The Jeep's driver was arrested for DWI at the scene after failing a breathalyzer test, police said.

One of the sticking points is that they want full back pay for the time they spent on strike - Portland teachers got that when they stuck, so it is now officially a new government employee perk.
But oops - "international students" at PCC have to be enrolled in full time, in person, classes by April 22nd or be deported.

So I purchased new low profile ceiling fans with remotes for the lights and fans because I previously asked an electrician what it would cost to replace all my single switches with separate switches for the fans and lights and he quoted me 30K - 40K $$.
I'm in my bedroom securing the newer lighter fan when I notice that the electrical box it fastens to is wiggling. I can push the electrical box up and into the attic. The box is fastened to a 2x4 board or something. But that board isn't attached to anything! Just freely sitting on top of the ceiling drywall. And these new fans are monolithic plastic parts, no way to balance. So the thing when assembled up there just goes wobble wobble CLANK CLANK CLANK.
So I am going to have to venture up into the attic and the only access is by ladder through a narrow ceiling portal. I've never been up there. It could be a happy magical place where my every wish comes true. It could be a realm of everlasting torture and pain where my every nightmare comes true. I simply don't know.
But it will have to wait until tomorrow and I no longer have a working fan in my bedroom and without a constant pleasant breeze at night I may die.

Or try to paw my husband (I would have laughed like a lunatic).

Ace, I have only seen one woman to man sport a beard: Chaz. Granted, I don't get out much and could be completely wrong.
It had to have taken Chaz 15-20yrs of testosterone to get her beard. Maybe there are beard transplants as I have no clue. I hope poor Chaz simply has a strap on vs surgery, but seeing it's Hollywood probably not.
I think the outstanding attny was a man using his transgender flag and wanting a female officer. Probably wanting to wee in the ladies room, too.

(Loudmouth) Philip Glover, National President of the American Federal of Government Employees, District 3 (DE & PA) and a former law enforcement officer, called for ICE agents to leave the Philadelphia Airport during a rally outside of Philadelphia's City Hall on Thursday morning.
"I think everybody can tell, I'm a former law enforcement officer. You don't wear masks. You don't go without warrants and you don't...tackle people out of cars and break their windows and rip them out of cars. That's not what law enforcement is supposed to do," he said. "So maybe take them for some retraining on that and get them out of our airport. And get TSA paid today."
Audio & video available.
Context is mine. I add: You also don't become a fulltime union "official" when you're doing well in your own Federal job.
And everyone in the executive branch of civil service knows that's a fact.

In part, "U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle (D., Philadelphia) said Trump’s announcement proved “he could have been paying them all along.”
“He and Republicans were holding them hostage in order to win more funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Very happy that we stood up to Trump and he caved,” Boyle wrote.

The fans taken off and it's just the exposed electrical junction box.
I understand a bit more now. The box is fastened to a big threaded bolt. And at the ends of the bolt are these metal plates. And it looks like the bolt should be suspended between two joists with the metal plates pressed into the joists. But some how the plates have com off the joists.
The internet is calling this a "remodel bar or brace". Ooh! The internet is also saying there may be a way to reach up and secure the brace again getting it to expand against the joists. I might be able to say here in the material world with only my hand and arm passing beyond into the other realm. I'm going to try that.

In Case You Missed It: Intercepts of Foreign Parties Revealed Ukraine's Plot to Take US Taxpayer Dollars Given To Them By Biden to Illegally Contribute to Biden's Reelection Effort
I posted this briefly yesterday before I realized CBD had just posted about the same topic.
Before that:BREAKING: DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin has just BEGUN the process of paying some 50,000 THOUSAND TSA agents at President Trump's orders Pay is set to hit as early as Monday Posted by: JackStraw at March 27, 2026The basic story has been reported, and some of this has been hinted at in TV interviews, but this report by Jonathan Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy formalizes those hints and advances the story.
U.S. intercepted Ukraine government messages discussing plot to route money to Biden re-election Newly-unclassified documents show that in 2022 Ukrainian officials discussed diverting hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars -- earmarked for clean energy -- back to Biden's ill-fated 2024 campaign. There is no evidence the intercepted allegations were investigated during the Biden administration.There's also no evidence that the formally crazy-about-foreign-interference propaganda media has reported any of this. It's almost as if they actively support foreign election interference, so long as it benefits their precious Communist "Democrat" Party.
It actually gets worse in the next paragraph: US government personnel were personally involved in the conspiracy.
U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing a plot to route hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy in the war-torn country and move them to the United States to enrich then-President Joe Biden's 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to a declassified intelligence report summarizing the intercepts that was obtained by Just the News. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of the intercepts and has asked the U.S. Agency for International Development officials to scour for records to see if the plot actually was carried out and whether a criminal referral should be made to the FBI. Gabbard's team has not found substantive evidence the intercepted allegations were thoroughly investigated during the Biden administration, and the communications are not believed to be tied to Russian disinformation efforts, officials said. The declassified report is a summary of raw intercepts from U.S. spy agencies in late 2022 concerning the alleged plot, and officials who have reviewed the files said there seemed to be a lack of curiosity to investigate such an explosive allegation of foreign interference in a U.S. election.
"The Ukrainian Government and unspecified U.S. Government personnel, through USAID in Kyiv, reportedly developed a plan that would provide hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund an infrastructure project for Ukraine that would be used as a cover to send approximately 90% of funds allocated to the DNC to fund Joe Biden's reelection campaign," the declassified summary of the intercepts stated. "They were confident the project would be funded initially, even though at some time in the future the project would be disapproved as unnecessary. At this time, the money would already be allocated and impossible to return or use for a different purpose," the report added. The intercepts mentioned two American subcontractors as possible recipients of the money that would eventually be moved to Democratic coffers, officials said. The names are included in still classified raw spy data but were redacted from the declassified report obtained by Just the News. "The plan included details of how subcontractors would be funded through U.S. companies so that how the funds were spent and allocated would be difficult to track," the declassified summary stated. "Additionally, contracts would be executed that would be difficult to verify. In this manner, most of the U.S. funding would be diverted to Joe Biden's election campaign without the ability to track where exactly the funds came from."

Iran is getting smoked all over the place. We’ve been hitting their proxies, including the militias in Iraq. We are still decaffeinating every person at the command level who comes up for air. The A-10’s have been taking out every asset they can find. We are bombing every military and manufacturing asset still existing. We also now have small anti regime militias taking on the thugs in some cities. CiNC continues to squeeze their balls in every possible way. The only question now is how it ends and when.

Germany's trains are supposed to get 19 billion out of the 40 billion allocated for this year.
Sounds impressive, 19 billion Euros doesn't it? Except the German government has cut out 14 billion Euros from the train budget. So, the real increase is ONLY 5 billion Euros.
The question must be asked, where will that 14 billion be spent?

One can get the generic for "Viagra" or "Cialis". I got some Cialis (36 hour "half life", supposedly not an instant erection). I got it for the other benefits, take one every few days. Under $1/pill, online prescription. I guess they give me "more energy". Also supposed to be good for "enlarged prostrate".

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at March 27, 2026 05:14 PM (XJ22o)
No, I think it means that tax money for "clean energy" was sent to a USAID group that would divert it to Ukraine, who would send most of it back as contributions to Biden's campaign. Of course plenty of money stuck to all involved along the way

90% is straight up money laundering. With a 10% processing fee of course.

Do we know if this actually happened yet? I can totally see Ukraine coming up with this plan but someone in Biden's admin saying "Uh, if Trump wins we are all in Gitmo. This is too far, even for us!" and saying no.
At least until Kamala took over... she's probably too stupid to see anything other than "Free money! Surely no strings attached!"

Ok, fine I know the real answer, graft, but why would you give money to a client state that is at war for green energy? Ukraine should be building every coal plant it can since we can send them an endless amount of it
Posted by: 18-1 at March 27, 2026 05:58 PM (sKqQm)
Green energy money is the source of the money. They were hiding the diversion to Ukraine and return to US as donations.

I got my mom a Fire a decade or so ago.
She used that one for a few years and I got her a second upgraded one that she used for years before she died.
She read a bunch of novels on it, did her shopping on it, played Candy Crush and the like, and watched streaming video on it and loved it. She never picked up another paperback book after she got hers.
They are perfect for people who just want it for those types of things.

When the Federalist party died out early in the 19th century an opposing party was needed, but it was more a "Not a Democrat" party than a real political party. This especially became true as sectional issues and anti slavery grew, as Northern Whigs were anti Democrat on slavery and Southern Whigs were anti Democrat because they were too soft on defending slavery. This split made it harder to keep going and it died out in the early 1850s and the Republicans soon formed around its fragments in the north.

No, I think it means that tax money for "clean energy" was sent to a USAID group that would divert it to Ukraine, who would send most of it back as contributions to Biden's campaign. Of course plenty of money stuck to all involved along the way

90 percent of the reason for most things the last 10 years or so is routing money into and out of Ukraine for all kinds of secret, not so secret and very nasty things. They needed to launder these contributions to avoid detecting where they came from. There are legal limits to how much a person in the US can donate.

House Rejects Senate Deal
Plus: JD Vance Affirms That Ilhan "Omar" Committed Immigration Fraud, Vows to Pursue Her Legally
So. Now that the Senate Republicans made a deal without bothering to clear it with their counterparts in the House, the House Republicans have rejected it, and now begins the "It's a Republican shut-down, they're enabling terrorism" op.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., says House Republicans will not accept a Senate-passed bill to fund the majority of the Department of Homeland Security, minus ICE and border patrol. The Senate bill does not include additional funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Border Patrol -- and it does not include any of the demands Democrats made to limit the tactics of federal immigration officers. Republicans in the House met Friday after the legislation passed and rejected the plan. "This gambit that was done last night is a joke," Johnson told reporters at the Capitol. Johnson said the House will vote instead on a stop-gap spending bill to fund the entire Department of Homeland Security until May 22. "I spoke to the president a few moments ago, he understands exactly what we're doing and why. And he supports it," Johnson said. Johnson said he expects Republicans will pass the bill in the House, leaving the Senate to take up the measure. However, is very unclear if the stop-gap could pass in the Senate. Senators have already left Washington and Democrats have refused to vote for any spending bill that funds ICE. Johnson also referred to Trump's promise to pay TSA agents through executive action as a near-term way to alleviate backups at airports across the country. Trump signed a memo Friday, to do so.Is he right to reject it?
OvertonI don't know if that means the additional funding that had previously been in the bill is reduced to zero, or if it means all the funding these agencies currently have is reduced to zero. I suspect it means the former, not the latter. That is, it stops the new funding, which I don't like but which we already knew, not the already-in-place funding. But I'd like clarification.
@overton_news 1h Mask off moment. Speaker Mike Johnson QUESTIONS whether Senate Republicans actually read the bill they passed to the House before heading on recess. Johnson then turned to the cameras and read a jaw-dropping section aloud for the media. JOHNSON: "This gambit that was done last night is a JOKE." "I'm quite convinced that it can't be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill, and I'm going to just read you one excerpt of it, because it's pretty alarming, and it says everything that you need to know." "In section four...this is on page two of the bill...." "It says, 'The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be...ZERO.'" "We're not doing that."

Vice President JD Vance said Friday that Rep. Ilhan Omar defrauded the US by allegedly marrying her brother to help him remain legally in the country.
"We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America," Vance told right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson on the latest episode of his show. Vance added that he's been discussing legal remedies with White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, explaining that questions have been raised: "How do you go after her? How do you investigate her? How do you actually build the case to actually get some justice for the American people?"
The vice president claimed the Minnesota Democrat "has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somalian community" -- and that was also something that should be under investigation.

Since the funds are already appropriated for ICE enforcement, it'd require a rescission.
Unless the bill includes actual rescissions, it's just the new spending proposed that didn't get added.

I reiterate the point I made this morning.
Democrats were being blamed for shutting down DHS and creating chaos at the airports. Trump was being a hero by sending ICE. This was about the only political PR win that Republicans have had in months.
Thune destroyed that advantage overnight and turned it into a loss.
Now Republicans will be blamed for blocking a bipartisan bill to fund DHS and fix this mess.

.....................................
In our ED in FL a 60yr old man coded from this and another heart med during some activity with his wife at home.
It was sad and my job was to be there when the doc told her he could not help him.
However, prior to us going to see her he had to rattle my cage a bit as we stood there and looked at the man (she was in another room).
He did this on purpose, as all of them liked to do to me now and then, as I was very professional and a lady and basically unfazed by them most of the time.
He and I were standing there and he said, "Well, it's not a bad way to go if you think about it." And expected me to then go with him to this lady somber and controlled. He knew I'd have to laugh first and get it over with, but not in the poor man's room.
So I snort laughed instead and had tears of suppressed laughter. He was very pleased.
Wicked MD, and very handsome Italian/American. I told him I'd get him back when it was over.

Appeals Court Overrules Activist Leftwing Minnesota Judges, Declares That Illegal Aliens Can Be Held Indefinitely Without Bond While Waiting for Their Deportation
This is important because if you want to deport someone -- put them on a plane -- you need to have physical custody of their bodies, and activist judges keep ruling that after ICE captures an illegal alien, he must be allowed to go free. He'll just show up for his actual deportation, right?
No, of course not. He will disappear "into the shadows," as Jeb Bush might say. But that's what these activist, lawless Democrat judges want -- a soft judicial repeal of the power to deport. They can't just say "we're overruling Congress" -- Congress has the power to make laws about immigration and naturalization, of course -- so instead they just spam out fake requirement after fake requirement to make it effectively impossible to deport anyone. In short -- they want to codify Biden's lawless executive decision to open the borders and guarantee all comers a permanent residency in America into "law" without having to go through the bother of actually changing the law. The Eighth Circuit is the second appeals court to tell lowly court judges they do not have the power to overrule both Congress and the President.And that's not all. The Supreme Court appears inclined to side with the Administration on the government's right to turn away "asylum" seekers at the border.
Appeals court lets Trump administration hold many immigration detainees without bond A panel of appeals court judges handed the Trump administration a major legal victory on Wednesday in its quest to detain large swaths of immigrants living in the country illegally, saying that people who entered the United States without inspection and admission can be detained without bond. The 2-1 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit marks the second time that a federal appellate court has sided with the administration on the issue, even as hundreds of lower court judges across the country have taken the opposite view. The conservative Fifth Circuit issued a similar ruling earlier this year. Wednesday's ruling could impact more than 1,000 immigration detention cases in Minnesota alone, according to a source in the U.S. Attorney's office in that state. The Eighth Circuit also oversees six other states stretching from North Dakota to Arkansas. The case involved a man named Joaquin Herrera Avila, a citizen of Mexico who was apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security in Minneapolis last August. DHS detained him without bond and brought removal proceedings against him. His lawyers filed a petition of habeas corpus seeking his release, and the U.S. District Court in Minnesota granted the request. Wednesday's decision reversed the lower court's ruling. The majority opinion was drafted by Judge Bobby Shepherd, a George W. Bush appointee, and joined by Judge L. Steven Grasz, a Trump appointee. Judge Ralph R. Erickson, who was appointed during President Trump's first term, dissented. "Except for a single DUI, for nearly 20 years, Joaquin Herrera Avila had been living a law-abiding life in the United States," Erickson wrote. "For the past 29 years, Avila would have been entitled to a bond hearing during his removal proceedings. The court now holds that Avila--and millions of others--are subject to mandatory detention." ... But the Trump administration has argued that anyone who entered the U.S. illegally is subject to mandatory deportation, unless immigration authorities grant them parole on humanitarian or public interest grounds. Last fall, a Justice Department-run immigration court made a sweeping determination that the government could essentially detain a large swath of immigrants indefinitely while their removal proceedings are pending. Since then, federal courts across the United States have been crushed by a tidal wave of cases filed by immigrants challenging their detention. In most cases, U.S. District Courts have sided with the immigrants and ruled against the government. According to a tally from Politico, more than 400 judges have ruled against the government in more than 5,000 cases.
The majority of Supreme Court justices appeared to be sympathetic to the idea that the Trump administration should be able to turn away asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border. If the court rules in favor of the administration, the government will be able to revive a policy used during Trump's first term, where those seeking asylum were stopped at the border from setting foot in the US. Federal law dictates that those who arrive in the US and are "physically present in the United States" or "arrive in the United States" can apply for asylum. The issue is whether noncitizens merely have to show up to the border to request asylum or if they have to cross the border fully before applying. The majority of justices appeared to be sympathetic to the Trump administration in the case, per the New York Times. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Amy Coney Barrett suggested that "arrives in" means that someone has fully crossed the border. "'Arriving" sounds more 'in the process of.' 'Arrives in' sounds more like 'you've reached your destination,'" Justice Barrett said in the hearing. "If it's not crossing the physical border, what is the magic thing?" Former President Barak Obama implemented the policy where some seeking asylum would be turned around at the border, which was expanded by Trump. However, that policy was rescinded under the Biden administration. Biden rejected Trump's border security measures and allowed tens of millions of illegal immigrants to cross into the United States, be paroled, and wait for immigration hearings that were often scheduled five or more years down the road. At one point during his term in office, Biden dismissed a bunch of immigration cases, leaving migrants in a legal limbo with neither legal status nor deporation orders. The Trump administration has urged the justices to allow the policy to be reinstated. Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh suggested that the debate about where a migrant is at when they request asylum is "very artificial." Two of the liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, had tougher questions for the administration in the case. They were the only justices who appeared sympathetic to allowing the full embrace of asylum claims at the border.
Look, we don't give thanks enough. Trump has had some bumps and oopsies this term, but he's been great 96% of the time. 96% will get you an A anywhere. An A+, really, with the curve.

Speaking of Minnesota.....this ruling and the JD Vance led fraud project is going to have an interesting result. The Somalis of Minneapolis are going to do the big Exodus to more fertile grounds. It will be interesting to see where that is. I'm going to guess San Diego area, which already has about 15k Somalis on the books. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a cocentration of uncovering fraud in California as well. Right now they are concentrating on the false Hospice entities. But, it will expand, and the GOP leading Governor candidate is making that a staple of his campaign.
So, maybe a state that isn't getting much attention, but is firmly Blue and ripe for fraud. Either way, I predict a mass emigration of Somalis out of Minnesota in short order.

True, but I don't think that's the real reason the leftist swine vehemently opposed detention without bond.
The real reason was because illegals staring at months if not years in what is effectively prison will be much more likely to sign waivers and go back home voluntarily.
Big win.

Supposedly, 75% or so of those picked up already do this.
They're not counted as deportations but voluntary removals.
Deportations were about 600,000 for Trump's first year of his second term.

Woke lawmaker Pramila Jayapal called for illegal immigrants to receive reparations to make up for the 'trauma' of being targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The progressive Washington Democrat blasted ICE activity in the latest of her 'shadow hearings' about immigration reform on Friday, which she titled 'Kidnapped and Disappeared.'
Jayapal called for 'offensive action' against ICE activities, saying she hoped for 'prosecutions and real accountability' against immigration agents.

Those of a certain age will recall asylum as it was originally intended and implemented.
Individuals, persecuted for their beliefs, given sanctuary. Often at a US Embassy, to start, later to be negotiated out in some sort of swap. This was the Cold War norm, usually with Soviet bloc countries, and it was exactly why the law was enacted.
Literally millions of random people showing up at the border, obviously economic migrants (= zero basis for admission or status under the actual law), just ushered in, and the "asylum" process and meaning completely thrown out. Odd, but one of the most infuriating and depressing things (of the non-stop tsunami of such) in recent years. Probably because those who know recognize what a perversion of a very noble American policy it all is.

Nothing Trump has done has been particularly radical or even really innovative.
He's just doing the things politicians have been saying they would do since the end of the cold war.
One way to look at it is that every right leaning pol should be working the same way but honestly Trump hasn't been even particularly rightwing - you can find speeches by Clinton, Sanders, Schumer, and others about the problems illegals cause and the need for vote security.
So, imagine if every elected pol, left or right, put America first? Hell, remember when given a choice between even their supposed holy grail of nationalized healthcare or illegals the modern left has consistently choosen illegals.

In the military, one is enough to end your military life. (Or a DWI as they are called in TX.).
But such an offense is a “who cares” offense if you are a foreign national illegally present in the United States. If you are a citizen, God help you. It’s a wonder police haven’t been given the power to summarily execute drunk drivers, such is the severity of the offense as we have all been told.

🚨 BREAKING: Tiger Woods involved in rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida
Posted by: weft cut-loop at March 27, 2026 03:50 PM (diia5)
------------------------------
An ex-security staffer for President Joe Biden who posed for pics with former VP Kamala Harris in front of a presidential jet was arrested for a chilling murder in San Francisco.
Nation Wood, 25, was arrested Wednesday, just 24 hours after he allegedly shot and killed Samantha Emge, 22, a 2025 graduate of San Francisco State University, at a home in San Francisco’s Sunset District.
Wood identified himself as a part-time security staffer for Biden’s White House Secret Service team starting in November 2023 on his LinkedIn profile.
He worked at the White House through July 2025, finishing out his term under President Donald Trump, according to his LinkedIn page that lists him as an “independent pre-event site security advisor.”

No DUI is necessary for a removal of a non-authorized party. It should be that simple.

I'll bet this ties to the "600" raw FBI files found in the Clinton's residence at the White House. And no, it wasn't 600. Probably more like 6000. The 600 was just for public consumption once it leaked out, assuming that the public would go "well, it's only 600".

Gambling helps drive interest. But the fans are the customers because the reason the gamblers and the networks want sports is because it is the only thing on "TV" that actually gets real numbers.

And formally, senatorial courtesy was NOT a veto by senators of a presidential pick but rather that they be consulted before the pick went before the Judiciary Committee so that they could develop questions, etc. for the nominee. Even less so for federal prosecutors. But, the segregation era warped the Senate by setting up the ridiculous filibuster rules, the blue slip policy, and a number of other methods to essentially protect senators from having to walk the plank by voting unlike their House counterparts.
As a result, the Senate has rotted. The House has become something that Joe Cannon would like or Thomas Reed but it at least votes and this last term went back to regular procedure except for the Homeland Security bill. I blame the GOP in the Senate for that debacle.

The original decision was one of those parsed meaning things.
Cutting through, the argument by the illegal immigrant was that because he was not 'seeking' to be here legally, he was not covered by one provision but was instead protected by another and so had to be given a bond hearing and released.
Think about that.
He enters illegally.
He stays illegally for 20 years.
When caught, he does not apply for asylum to stay legally.
And because of that he must be given a legal protection and process so he can continue to stay here legally.
The act of crossing the border? Not 'seeking' to be in the country.
The act of petitioning the court to be released? Not 'seeking' to be in the country.
That is the language the lower court parsed to release him and the appeals court rejected 2-1, saying 'seeking' do not solely apply to filing paperwork, but includes any act pertaining to entry and remaining in the country.
The lower court insisted you have to release someone on bond to explicitly continue an illegal act (remaining in the country without asylum or other legal status).
That is what is in that decision.

Jonathan Turley: Florida Grand Jury May Finally Reveal the Truth of the RussiaGate Criminal Conspiracy -- and Maybe the Consequences, Too
The Pine-Scented Druid Philosopher James Comey has been subpoenaed.
I don't know if any of this will result in anything, but my stars, I need some hope.This week, we learned that the probe into the Russian conspiracy theory in Florida is moving forward with the disclosure that former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed. What is different in this probe is that it is pursuing the real Russia conspiracy -- the creation of a false narrative to kneecap the first Trump administration. At issue is what could be the greatest political hit job in history. Of course, the growing evidence of this conspiracy continues to be buried by one of its key components: the media. Nevertheless, the "truth will out," and it appears to be coming out in Florida. Headed by Jason A. Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, the investigation is building on information uncovered by House and Senate committees that was long buried by the Biden administration. That evidence appears to show a knowing effort to manufacture a Russian conspiracy hoax at the urging of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Ironically, the Washington Post and the New York Times received Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting promoting this Russian conspiracy hoax. The media spent years in wall-to-wall coverage of disproven allegations, including many claims made in the debunked Steele Dossier that had been secretly funded by the Clinton campaign. The true Pulitzer Prize-worthy story was staring the media in the face the whole time: a conspiracy to create a false conspiracy narrative to elect Clinton and later to derail the Trump administration. The latter effort succeeded with help from top intelligence figures. ... Shortly before the 2016 presidential election, Peter Strzok, a key figure in the investigation, texted FBI lawyer Lisa Page to assure her "that there's no way [Trump] gets elected," adding that they "can't take that risk." He added that they had it all in hand because "It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40." In fact, whether it was known to Strzok or not, there was an insurance policy in the works. In July 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton's alleged "plan" to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as "a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server." Brennan is believed to be a target of the current investigation, including possible perjury before Congress. In reality, within days of that briefing on how Clinton would create this conspiracy theory, the investigation began, just as the Clinton campaign hoped it would. Early on, the FBI was told by the CIA that its sources -- and the Steele dossier -- were unreliable. However, key FBI officials continued the surveillance and the investigation targeting the Trump campaign and key figures. One official later pleaded guilty to lying to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to continue surveillance without an evidentiary basis. At the end of 2016, a CIA assessment found that "Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent U.S. election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure." That presidential daily brief was scheduled to be published on Dec. 9, 2016, but the office of James Clapper, Obama's Director of National Intelligence, reportedly stopped the publication "based on some new guidance." Clapper later joined Obama, along with John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and others, in a meeting that would ultimately inject the debunked theory directly into the media. ... Back in 2016, the rewritten assessment was quickly leaked to an eagerly awaiting media. It was the perfect hit job carried out by top Obama administration officials at the very end of their time in power . In testimony on May 23, 2017, Brennan claimed that the Steele dossier "wasn't part of the corpus of intelligence information that we had. It was not in any way used as a basis for the intelligence community assessment that was done." Yet the declassified material appears to contradict that sworn statement. Brennan allegedly not only discussed the dossier but also insisted upon its inclusion in the new assessment Obama had requested. Brennan and his handpicked team went to extraordinary lengths to revive the conspiracy theory that they knew was the original objective of the Clinton campaign. Analysts complained that the reliance on the Steele Dossier "ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment." One CIA analyst told investigators that Brennan "refused to remove it, and when confronted with the dossier's main flaws, [Brennan] responded, 'Yes, but doesn't it ring true?'" ... None of this will get anyone a Pulitzer, because the politics is wrong. However, it might just force the truth into the open. With Democrats promising to resume impeachments and investigations if they retake power in the midterms, it would be useful for the public to have a full understanding of what actually occurred last time. It is time for the public to learn whether top Obama officials and the media pulled off the greatest political hoax in historyJohn Brennan may be indicted for perjury. He repeatedly testified under oath that the now-heavily-discredited Steele Dossier formed no part of his fake report implicating Trump in RUSSIAN collusion, but in contemporaneous documents, he says he fought for the inclusion of the fake dossier in the report:

Cracks are spreading in the $1.8 trillion dollar private credit industry. Echoing the 2008 financial crisis but this time gutting the load-bearing walls.
On Tuesday the Financial Times reported Ares Management, which runs $623 billion, limited redemptions in one of their flagship funds.
That’s the asset management equivalent of a bank run -- investors can’t pull their money because it could spark a fire sale that could collapse the whole fund.
For scale, $623 billion would make Ares the 9th largest bank in America -- just ahead of Capital One.

When the ICA was originally written it claimed that there was no collusion between Trump and Russia. Before it was published Obama order Brennan, Clapper, Comey and Rogers to rewrite it and claim the opposite and the only thing they had to use was the Steele dossier. That's how it got in there.
They are all lying, treasonous scumbags with the possible exception of Rogers, maybe, but Obama was always behind all of it.

What I want is for the whole truth to come out, for these people to be humiliated and embarrassed to a point where they can never influence public policy again. I'm positive lefties will find secure and soft-landing spots for these suckers of cock...but make such landing spots obscure and irrelevant. Effectively end their careers in the public sphere.

Oh I don't think he masterminded the entire thing but he did at the very least ok if not direct the course of events. As I send above, when the Intelligence Community Assessment was originally written the conclusion was that Trump did not collude with Russia. But before it went public Obama told them to rewrite it with the opposite conclusion and the only thing they had to justify that conclusion was the Steele dossier which they all knew was garbage.
In typical Obama fashion he's fine with others taking the fall for what he did.

ICE is funded, so I read, til 2/29. ICE scares them a lot.
All will be well. Hold.
Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGrea
My understanding is that support employees of ICE would still not be funded if ICE is removed from the package.
The actual officers would be paid under the BBB, but computer analysts, missing children cases, etc would continue to not be paid. I heard 4000+ personnel. and, stripping ICE/CBP from Homeland funding is a no go. I think Mike Johnson should stand his ground now.

I could be wrong, but think they were trying to pass a bill that would defund ICE or part of it. Sneaky little twits.
ICE is fully funded til 2/29 so I have read. For an odd reason I remembered this date this morning and verified. Yet I could not tell you anything important that I should rememeber.
Hope your daughter feels better asap. ICE for her, too. Soft ice packs on each jaw and tied on top with an ace wrap (or, in my teen son's case: dishcloths).

To conquer a nation you don't have to go to war, just migrate millions to take over.
And to destroy an adversary, you don't have to use nukes, you just have to get a grip on their .... rare earths, shipping LOCs for energy, vanadium, lithium,..... and make it impossible for them to resist.
And to become technologically dominant, you don't need billions in RandD, you only need to migrate millions into their corporations and universities and steal it all.
....
And to control the government, you only need to steal a few key seats and blackmail a few key paedos, and bribe a few key judges.

Documents: Partisan DC Judge Beryl Howell Had Secret Ex Parte Conversations with Fake Special Counsel Jack Smith
In a court, all communications with the judge are supposed to include counsel for both sides. So that both sides may weigh in on proposals and motions.
But Obama appointee and Democrat ringer Beryl Howell had secret ex parte communications with Jack Smith, behind Trump's lawyers' backs.Hans MahnckeHans Mahncke for The Federalist:
@HansMahncke You may have heard that anti-Trump Judge Howell had secret communications with Jack Smith, telling him she "liked" and even "loved" an omnibus approach, meaning all executive privilege claims would be decided in one sweep. The full story is even worse. At a hearing before those communications, Howell told Trump's lawyers she needed to review executive privilege claims on a case by case basis, probably because she wanted to create massive legal costs and keep anti-Trump investigations in the news by dragging them out. But as soon as Smith was appointed, she saw a chance to deliver the knockout blow and completely flipped, privately telling Smith she wanted to do a swift, all-at-once ruling. Absolutely shocking misconduct, and yet nothing will happen to her.
Chief Judge Howell Privately Endorsed Jack Smith's Get-Trump Lawfare
Behind closed doors, the judge overseeing Trump's grand jury told prosecutors she 'loved' their legal strategy. A Department of Justice briefing document released by Sen. Chuck Grassley shows that Jack Smith's special counsel team engaged in private communications with two federal judges overseeing Trump-related investigations: Chief Judge Beryl Howell and her successor, Judge James Boasberg, both Obama appointees on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and both known for their outspoken anti-Trump positions. The document was prepared for then-Attorney General Merrick Garland on Jan. 13, 2023. It was released by Grassley ahead of this week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the FBI's Arctic Frost investigation into the aftermath of the 2020 election. Smith took over the investigation in November 2022, and at that point, his team likely engaged in improper communications with the two judges. According to the briefing document, Smith's team informed Garland that they had been in touch with Howell and that "She liked our approach of pursuing the executive privilege litigation in an omnibus fashion," meaning the consolidation of various motions into a single filing rather than handling each separately. The notes record that Howell was aware such a motion was coming "and loves the idea." A separate entry referenced a forthcoming meeting with Boasberg scheduled for Saturday, March 18, 2023, the day after he became chief judge, taking over from Howell. Judges are generally not allowed to privately communicate with one party in a pending case without notifying the other party. However, there are exceptions. In the dispute over President Trump's executive privilege before Howell, the issues arose in the context of grand jury proceedings. As Chief Judge overseeing grand jury administration, she and the DOJ were technically allowed to communicate without Trump's lawyers present on matters strictly related to the grand jury. Such communications could include scheduling witness testimony, addressing procedural questions, or resolving other administrative issues necessary for the grand jury to function. What they could not do in secret was discuss the substance of pending litigation, offer advice on prosecutorial strategy, signal support for one side's approach, or endorse a plan that would effectively pre-decide disputes between the parties. Expressing enthusiasm for the DOJ's omnibus strategy in executive privilege litigation falls clearly into that forbidden category.
... This forced Trump's team into a defensive posture, preparing for many separate legal battles. Yet by later secretly endorsing the DOJ's omnibus plan, she green-lit a mechanism to pierce those privileges in bulk, effectively rigging the process in the government's favor.

Judge Howell: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in the Country to do that!”
MAGA voter: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and Trump turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Howell, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the c*nt to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?

For a fun one, dig up a copy of Silverlock by John Myers Myers. Loosely, I do mean loosely modeled on John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Myers has his protagonist stranded by a shipwreck in a world full of characters and references from classic literature.
Reads like a more modern version of Don Quixote where one thing happens after another but the fun is recognizing the places, characters, and events that the protagonist ends up in the midst of.

I liked the one where the two pyramids are cat ears.
I read somewhere that the Sphynx is carved out of a large solid block of rock, which caused some issues when trying to do the back parts since there was a fault or fissure there.

I mean maybe some president like Trump could find an appropriate moment where he could come out and announce "I'm ignoring this SCOTUS ruling because it's wrong and they're corrupt" and then watch the shit-storm.... I think even republicans would vote to impeach (depending on the case).... long-winded way of saying there's seemingly no solution

Trump Announces He Will Unilaterally Fund DHS and Dares Democrats to Sue to Stop Him;
Republican Senators Offer Democrats Deal, and Democrat Senators Accept
The "deal" is exactly what you'd expect from Mitch McConnell's prison punk John Thune: Capitulation. When a Ted Cruz demands a government shut-down to advance a conservative goal, the GOPe shrieks that that's not how we do business and caves immediately. But when the Democrats shut the government down, the GOPe also caves.
Update: Commenters disagree with my hot take. I have included their dissent before the jump. But first, Trump's declaration that he will fund DHS on his own authority, citing powers under the National Emergencies Act. I don't know if the president is allowed to bypass Congress' chief power over the purse through the Emergencies Act or if it's still beyond his power. But it's only beyond his power if a judge rules it so after Democrats bring lawsuit to stop him, and I don't know if they'd have the balls to be so open about wanting to keep TSA agents unpaid as well as DHS counter-terrorism agents during a war with the terror state of Iran.
Fox:
Rather than letting this play out, GOPe Senators caved and gave the Democrats what they wanted -- the TSA would be funded, but the parts of DHS that Democrats want to defund, ICE and the Border Patrol, will be defunded, just as the Democrats wanted. This is a deal? Give them everything they want?
President Trump announced on Thursday he will sign an emergency order to pay TSA agents and hopefully relieve congestion at the nation's largest airports. In a lengthy Truth Social post where he savaged Democrats for their role in refusing to fund the Department of Homeland Security, Trump said he would see that the agents are paid. "Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do!" Trump said. "I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it!," he wrote. His announcement came as Republicans and Democrats struggle to fund the department and as Transportation Security Administration employees faced a second month without a paycheck. Under the National Emergency Act, the president could order unspent government funds to be used to temporarily pay TSA employees -- a move that would bypass Congress. Republicans have the majority in the Senate but lack the 60 votes needed to advance DHS funding in the legislative process.
DHS shutdown breakthrough comes at cost for Republicans as funding fights nears endAgain, Thune is pushing the idea that he'll concede everything on the vote but he'll "make it up during budget reconciliation." But budget reconciliation requires cuts to the budget. How exactly is spending the money for CBP and ICE a budget cut? The Democrats are actually cutting the budget by defunding two agencies.
Senate Republicans are eying reconciliation as a long-term solution for ICE and CBP funding
Now it goes to the House -- and I'm sure House conservatives aren't happy about this. But what Thune has done is make it politically costly for conservatives to veto the deal. Now, Democrats will be able to say "It's the MAGA Republican shut-down!" Also, Thune has given up all leverage. The Democrats want to defund ICE and CBP. They want a wide-open border. You can only force them to fund those agencies by tying that funding to something that it is costly for them to refuse to fund -- like TSA and DHS counter-terrorism operations. But now, they have the funding for the stuff they want, and can refuse to fund the stuff they don't want with no penalty whatsoever. And Republican Senators are already warning us: BTW, this whole "reconcilliation" thing is Failure Theater Bullshit so don't expect the funding to actually pass.
Congress is one step closer to ending the Homeland Security shutdown after the Senate advanced a new, last-minute deal, but it came at the price of Republicans ceding ground, temporarily, to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The Senate unanimously advanced a deal to reopen most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the wee hours of Friday morning, 42 days into the shutdown that was spurred by the Trump administration's immigration operations in Minnesota. It was an agreement that largely gave Schumer and Senate Democrats what they wanted -- no funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). But it lacked the stringent reforms they desired, like requiring judicial warrants or requiring agents to unmask. While the deal mirrors previous attempts by Democrats to pass similar legislation that carved out immigration funding, Thune argued that Democrats are still walking away empty-handed in the policy fight over immigration enforcement. "We've been trying for weeks to fund the whole thing," Thune said. "And, I mean, in the end, this is what they were willing to agree to. But again, it's different that it has zero reforms in it. I mean, they got no reforms on DHS, which they could have had if they had been willing to work with us a little bit on that." Schumer said that if Republicans hadn't blocked their initial attempts, "this could have been done three weeks ago." "This is exactly what we wanted," Schumer said. "This is what we asked for, and I'm very proud of my caucus. My caucus held the line."
And some Republicans are already couching expectations on what can and can't be accomplished in the party-line process, given that anything in the bill has to pass muster with strict rules in the Senate. "I think we have to set our sights a little bit lower on this reconciliation bill," Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told Fox News Digital. "It's got to be targeted to fund ICE for 10 years, I think that's the number one thing to us."Or possibly he's saying "I know we told you we'd pass the SAVE Act by reconciliation, which was also Failure Theater Bullshit, but now that we've got this new Failure Theater Bullshit production going, you have to accept we've got to "set our sights a little lower" and just do the ICE and CBP funding as our first-priority Failure Theater Bullshit. It's almost as if the GOPe exists to pretend to oppose the Democrats while giving the communists everything they want, and then turning to the public and saying, "All of this was done constitutionally, because the 'opposition' party did in fact agree to all of the communists' demands."
Brilliant, Thune, you Gollum to Mitch McConnell's Sauron.
If the bill doesn't include a bar on face masks, ID requirements, and a ban on ICE going into "sensitive" locations, then it's not a GOP cave, it's a Democrat cave. Those things were what Democrats wanted. They said so many times. They didn't get those things. Posted by: TheJamesMadison
Ace, I see this differently: it was the Democunts who caved, assuming this deal goes through. You can tell by how desperately they moved the goalposts. Cuck Schemer is now cheering that ... he got TSA funded at airports. The shutdown wasn't about incremental funding for ICE and BP, as ICE and BP are already funded through 2028. The shutdown was about unmasking agents, identification requirements, limits on where ICE could go, and basically making their lives hell. Dums got none of that. So they are now pretending it was always about funding TSA at airports. (Huh? They shut down the gov't over TSA?) Since TSA funding was restored -- something Trump and the GOP wanted too -- the Dums are claiming they won. This is a win for the GOP -- albeit not a 100% complete one -- and a cave for the Dums. Not the other way around. Posted by: Elric The Blade

Also, Democrats did’t get everything they wanted. This is what Republicans proposed some time ago when Democrats indicated they would not vote to fund DHS. Democrats also wanted changes to ICE operations. Then when Republicans conceded some of that, Democrats raised the bar again and made a lot of other demands. That’s when Trump said FU and declared an emergency. At that point Democrats knew they were screwed and accepted the original deal Republicans proposed.
BTW just think about this. Democrats screwed American citizens and put them through the TSA wringer to show their support for illegal aliens. There is no other way to read what they did.
Is that their midterm winning message?
Posted by: Marcus T at March 27, 2026 12:19 PM (zfkPG)
So, all the new agents are getting fired, right?
There are rescissions in the funding bill that undo OBBB, right?
ICE are just going to outright stop enforcing immigration law, that which they've been doing nonstop throughout the whole shutdown to the point where they were the only DHS employees getting paid in airports when they showed up to help TSA?

The shutdown wasn't about incremental funding for ICE and BP, as ICE and BP are already funded through 2028. The shutdown was about unmasking agents, identification requirements, limits on where ICE could go, and basically making their lives hell.
Dums got none of that. So they are now pretending it was always about funding TSA at airports. (Huh? They shut down the gov't over TSA?) Since TSA funding was restored -- something Trump and the GOP wanted too -- the Dums are claiming they won.
This is a win for the GOP -- albeit not a 100% complete one -- and a cave for the Dums. Not the other way around.

Their crazy base is energized, that’s a fact. You can hand waive off the special elections, but they put up some very larger than normal numbers of voters. They need those people for the midterms.
This may sound like an electoral death wish to you (fighting for illegal aliens). But it’s a clarion call to their base who wants this and will show up in November in big numbers if they keep getting red meat.

Actual recesses require a majority vote. The majority leader can't just make them happen.
I guarantee you there are at least 10 GOP senators who would never vote for a recess because the Senate does almost nothing else but lord over appointments, and they're not giving that up.

At least some will be able to yell at people calling them doomers n black pill.

Then some will say I'm not voting for the bastards, then some will yell at those people asking why you would hand over a win to the enemy.

This was the 2nd shutdown with missed paycheck for DHS in 6 months. Who can afford to miss paychecks multiple times a year? No one on a government salary, especially no one with a family and a single wage earner on a government salary. So, who left in these shutdowns? The conservative employees, the employees with families with kids,, the employees who COULD leave and were competent.
Who stayed? The zealots, the f&ckups, and the single folks...aka, the blue dream for government employees...
So, you now can expect a less competent, more liberally zealot, and more liberal voting crew...

What was most surprising is how well it was made. The budget is obviously low, but the director and crew knew how to shoot a movie. Good framing, some nice camerawork, and decent lighting for a movie with a budget about what it costs to feed the crew for a day on a modern Hollywood movie.
It's pure sleaze and schlock, but even then they had to try to dress up exploitative crap as a victory for feminism. Isla is supposedly some kind of feminist icon. Ummm ... ok.
She's a sadistic lunatic who tortures women, forced them to be raped by SS soldiers, and murders them. She violates women in the most vile manner possible, literally shoving flaming, spiked, electrified dildos up their vaginas until they die. The most abusive, misogynistic male rapist would be like "that bitch is cray-cray."

Also, PDJT is hopefully planning to land Arab troops on Kharg Island, not American. Can you imagine the consternation in Tehran if a combined force of muslim troops takes away their precious oil export platform?

What they wanted, was "due process". The face masks and above was just a diversion to concede at the end.
The big get for them was having every deportation go in front of a judge. They tried this under biden, where the court would also be in DC where they had control.
Removing the judicial order to remove people was the big win for us.

Trump is behaving just like the summer of 2024--when he knew he already won.

So, they're passing what Democrats proposed before the 40 day shutdown. Kind of like how the goal of the war in Iran is now opening the Strait of Hormuz when it was open prior to the war.
FINALLY! I bet the House won’t pass it, or trump won’t sign it, though. Doesn't matter. Deal is on the table. Any pain after this is strictly on the GOP.
They passed it because they are taking 2 weeks off for vacation and want to be able to fly. Can we please overthrow this entire government already? They literally are worthless
I wonder what else is buried in this bill. Republicans must have voted for it for some reason. I not really seeing them being altruistic at this point in time

As many of us have been saying for a long time ICE is fully funded until 2029 in the BBB. It's done. Unless there is some hidden stuff in this bill that somehow undoes ICE funding all Democrats "won" is funding the rest of DHS.

Yeah, that was the big thing.
Turning civil matters (deportation) into criminal matters (judicial warrants) while also maintaining that deportation over civil crimes is just so wrong.
Deportation is the farkin' civil remedy. It deprives the individual not at all of liberty or property. Sending someone back to their home country is not a damage.

But what they wanted was "due process." Habeas basically. They wanted anyone captured by ICE to have government funded attorney, right to go in front of a court to determine if the state has right to hold them and deport them.
For those with deportation orders, this is second bite at apple since they were already in front of a judge.
But there are others who ICE is allowed to deport without that, and Dems wanted this "due process" for all. They are not citizens, so do not have *full* constitutional rights, but they have some and that is the big argument.
In past, the Dems have tried to do this for all immigration cases and they even wanted a special immigration court in DC (so under Dem control, dem districts, dem juries, ...)
They want this because it will (a) stop the deportations, and (b) make the legal industrial complex very rich.

I get what you're saying but I don't necessarily agree that he's truly happy. I think he would put on a smile and claim victory if someone shot him in the nuts. He's a professional liar.
Did ICE get defunded? No. Is ICE being forced to remove their masks? No. Did Democrats get any of things they were demanding to pass a DHS funding bill? No.
I don't like the deal because it sets precedent that the Senate can now fund only parts of agencies they like instead of funding everything. I'm sure that will come back to bite us at some point.
But Democrats didn't score a big win no matter what they say publicly unless there are things in this bill that haven't come to light yet.

Yea, there's a shower scene in the first 5 minutes of She-Wolf. It's comically cheesy and exploitative, and the very sharp 4K restoration shows something that probably nobody saw before: the outline of the breast implant balloons and the incision lines where she was cut open to insert them.
In the commentary, a much older Thorne is commenting on that scene, and on the exploitative nudity and sex in general. She's clearly embarrassed by it. But rather than say "hey, it was the 70s, I was young and getting paid to get naked," she babbles some incoherency about it all being about female empowerment.

And they have only spent $10 billion of it so far.

Recesses (real ones) require a majority vote from the floor. The Senate is not going to give up its power over appointments, especially this GOP.
Thune is going through the motions on the SAVE act like he did on the OBBB. It's probably all an effort to appease a handful of on the cusp GOP senators (like Collins) to make sure their vote is done.
Also, he has to go through the whole debate thing (which they're doing) in order to bypass cloture.
The SAVE act, from the outside, looks like it's being maneuvered towards passage.

I had a Navy dentist, who happened to be in training. He pumped me full of Novocain, and the top two popped right out... but the bottom two required cutting deep into the gums, and the last needed, like you said, jack-hammering to break it up, and pull out the pieces...
Problem was, the Novocain was wearing off. I tried to tell him, but I had like an oil filter removal tool in my mouth... I started yelling, and I remember him saying " OK, just relax Petty Officer ******, we're almost there! He had his hand on my chest trying to get leverage to pull the fragments from my jaw...
It was quite a memorable experience.
Sorry for the TL/DR post...

Competent at what, imaging faces or drivers licenses? TSA takes pictures, and runs metal detectors. "Less competent" is meaningless, and most I run across in big airports are muslim anyway, so "zealot" is also a curious choice of word. Privatize these jobs.
The union head is frequently interviewed and (at least to my ears) he seems a very practical guy, and in this case his most aggressive comments have been directed at Democrats so I guess I am not worried the union will suddenly become a more aggressively Democrat engine.

All of DHS...as I've mentioned 100 times, TSA was not the only unfunded part of DHS, just the one which had the most interaction with the public. They are likely the least skilled group of DHS, and they were not the only ones quitting...

oh boy, you are mistaken! the Hobbit is not long, the others are huge! 500 pages each, and they're written in a much more serious, deep style than the Hobbit, which is written in this breezy, chatty style like it's a grandfather just telling you a story he's making up as he goes. (Though Tolkien slips in some beautiful prose into it from time to time.)

Think of it this way:
The very very best the Dems can hope for this upcoming midterm is ... a narrow majority in the House.
If the Dems had the SCOTUS, the Presidency and the Senate, would you be excited that the Republicans might could possibly win a narrow majority in the House?
Again: Compare Trump in Oct. 2020, Oct. 2024 and now.
Which is he more like, 2020 or 2024?

LOL! Wut?
I'm reading Fellowship right now. Just the story is around 400 pages, though there's a considerable prologue explaining hobbits.
The other two are shorter. Two Towers is around 350 pages and Return of the King is about 300 pages.
Mine are trade paperback copies, though. The mass-market paperbacks will be longer.
I also find the prose much easier to read in Lord of the Rings for the most part. I found the style of The Hobbit to be much more long-winded in places.

The post about KFC going halal was from 2024. I don't know if it actually happened. Halal chicken is ... chicken. The "halal certification" is purely in how the cow was killed, which I have no doubt is paying off some Muslim grifter to certify it regardless whether it's really halal. There was a scandal in NYC some years back over fake "kosher" certifications.
There are lots of restaurants in heavily Muslim areas who promote their menus as "halal" because if not they would lose all those customers.

But the dawn is brief and the day full often belies its

People keep saying that it's important to win threads. I say it's just as important to thread wins.
And we can start today. You can start today. I can start today. Olay?
Everyone can win a thread or thread a win if we just start today. Start today. It doesn't matter when you start. It could be today or it could be tomorrow. What matters is that you do it. That you do it. That you do it.
Because what really matters isn't what's in a thread. It's what's in your heart. What's in a thread can change but what's in your heart is real. Because blood is real. Right? It has types and it is real. O. B. AB. It's real. They're all real. These other people, they're gonna go out there and tell you that blood isn't real. But it is.

“I just felt, like, ‘Shut up,’” she added. “I’m like, ‘You can just tell this to the director… because I don’t want to have two different people directing me.’ It’s confusing.”

I don't think you can exclude the long prologue.

Mine are trade paperback copies, though. The mass-market paperbacks will be longer.
You are right on the page count (now that I check) but LOTR is written more densely than the Hobbit. The pages literally are packed with more words. My version of The Hobbit has a low word count per page.
>>>I also find the prose much easier to read in Lord of the Rings for the most part. I found the style of The Hobbit to be much more long-winded in places.
I think this is probably a minority position!
The Hobbit does waffle about but amusingly, like a Bernie Wooster story.

The House and Senate would have to go back to conference to thrash out the 2.0 funding bill. That makes the President's bold move to fund immigration enforcement by EO timely. It's a stink bomb lobbed into the conference room, not to mention forcing the Dems to make all sorts of obnoxious noises about opposing funding for federal agencies that protect US citizens and their jobs.

Thank you. Everyone is different on anesthesia. She should be better soon. Fluids get rid of the anesthesia.
We had both sons done the same day. One was a pale, groggy, sleepy mess. The other would not shut up in glee and I told him this was why he was bleeding more than his brother. Their father and I had to walk them to their rooms (at this point both were taller than me).
At the time, over 20yrs ago, the HS rumor was a Frosty would cure it all. No nutrition but we got them Frosty from Wendy's. No straws as sucking straws dislodges clot.
They did have other stuff from nurse Mom for protein.
One thing that kept swelling down was ice. I'd put a soft ice wrap on both sides, tie a towel around that, and did this for the first day. They looked like bunnies but let me do what I wanted to them and it worked. Once they revived they played video games and I have a photo of them in this condition.

THE MORNING RANT: Illegally Logged Wood for Wind Energy is Deforesting the Amazon Rainforest
It would seem odd that the environmental-left is now fully in favor of destroying the environment to produce boutique forms of non-renewable energy, but that is where we are. Of course, the reason we are here is that the high priests of the climate cult have issued their version of “just war doctrine” – specifically that whale killing, bird slaughter, and strip mining are now considered righteous and holy acts when done as sacraments of the faith.
Wind farms are especially awful. They produce zero kilowatts of baseline electricity, and they require 100% backup from reliable sources of electricity. Even worse, wind farms are causing widespread death of whales, including the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. Millions of bats and birds are also killed by wind turbines each year, including raptors and eagles whose killing is otherwise illegal. But somehow, the story keeps getting worse regarding the damage done by the wind industry. “Half a Million Balsa Trees Illegally Logged in Amazon Rainforest Every Year to Feed Global Wind Turbine Demand” [The Daily Sceptic – 3/17/2026]Over half a million balsa hardwood trees are being illegally logged in the Amazon rainforest every year to feed the massive demand for wind turbines in many parts of the world. Balsa is a lightweight but strong wood that is commonly used in the core of giant turbine blades. The annual loss of balsa trees in virgin rainforests is unnecessary ecological rape traceable back to ideologues driving a hard-Left Net Zero fantasy.Outside of farmed plantations, balsa trees have a very low density of just one or two per acre, therefore half a million trees being cut from the wild indicates vast areas being cleared of any native balsa trees. Just one three-bladed wind turbine requires about 40 balsa trees.
If there were ever any doubt that green energy / net zero is a religious cult, its adherents now *favor* whale-killing & razing the rainforest so that their holy altars - wind turbines - may be erected across every stretch of ocean & wilderness. @ComradeArthur https://t.co/pFthI1nDA4

The de Havilland Mosquito, known as the "Wooden Wonder" of WWII, was primarily constructed from a plywood sandwich featuring Ecuadorian balsa wood (for the core) and birch plywood (for the outer/inner layers).

Don't forget the slaughter of birds!!
American Audubon Society loves to rail about bird dying because they get confused and crash into tall buildings, yet are mysteriously silent on wind farms and solar farms.
They regularly kill protected birds that you or I would go to jail for killing (not that we'd ever want to).
It is a total inversion of their stated goals.

The same nation that leads the world, by a large margin, in coal fired electrical generation with over 1,200 of them. With another 200+ planned or under construction.
By comparison, the US has less than 250 of those left in operation.
So, while the Amazon is being de-forested, and lithium is being mined under horrendous environmental conditions in Africa, then shipped across the ocean to China where the EV batteries are made. Then those batteries are shipped across the ocean again to North American or European assembly plants to be put into EV cars.
The entire "Green" religion is a scam and we pay thru the nose for the costs while China spews the most CO2 of any nation worldwide.

It affected some offshore aqua-farming and IIRC a tourist area in a negative way.
When spinning, and it's raining, most wind turbines disrupt the natural flow of rain and disperse it unevenly in the area. A whole "wind farm" can totally disrupt any sort of agriculture or wildlife in the immediate area.

That's great about Texas and Florida. Power moves to the State Supreme courts. I guess the ABA can eventually be weakened by losing all the conservative states.

Why? Because it will be a career-killer unless you are absolutely 100% sure you will open your own practice in that state and will never leave.
Each state has its own credentials to be a member of a bar of that state (and thus allowing you to practice law in that state). So if you gain admission to the TX bar after graduating from a non-accredited law school, that allows you to practice in TX alone.
If you ever leave the state, you would need to get licensed or admitted to practice in whatever state you move to. If that state requires ABA-accredited law schools, then you're shit out of luck.
Very risky career choice, IMO.

IANAL, but I agree. In the long run, the only solution is to go after the ABA for some sort of monopoly or election law charge, or perhaps violating the conditions for violating its tax exempt status.
The American Bar Association (ABA) is
not a 501(c)(3) organization; it is classified as a 501(c)(6) tax-exempt business league. As a professional association, it is not eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions for membership dues. However, its charitable arm, the Fund for Justice and Education (FJE), is a 501(c)(3)

Since then, all evidence that whites were the first in the Americas or Polynesia has been buried and/or destroyed. Personally, I don't think the evidence is compelling, but it calls into question the alleged "consensus" that the original settlers were not white.
There's enough evidence supporting Heyerdahl's theory to warrant further research, but that will never happen.

Heyerdahl was attempting to prove that Polynesia could have been settled by "whites" then living in South America, who sailed on the prevailing easterly winds. Thus, he was going in the opposite direction to Polynesians populating S. America.

Similarly, timber and paper mills developed best practices to prevent deforestation, once places like my AO got deforested, and had to be replanted and cultivated at horrible cost.
But that's America. These dirty foreigners wouldn't bother recultivating, let alone developing best practices for future resource conservation. They have slovenly agricultural practices and are first-order thinkers.

A lot of times people don’t get the car. You have to pay income tax on the value of the car right away. . Most people don’t have the money.
I have a friend who was involved with this kind of thing. Not a game show but same type of thing, charity car raffles, casino giveaways, etc. He said dealers make money on this. They’ll sell the car to the company running the charity at full price, buy the car from the winner at a discount, allowing the winner to pay taxes, then sell the car again at full price because it’s still a new car. Easiest $10k for a dealer to make, it’s just paperwork.

Only a fool would use it without having someone who knows what they are doing check it thoroughly. But AI does a very good job of pulling together materials, facts, and formats to create a "first draft." It's exceptionally good at taking piles of facts from piles of sources, and assembling them into a coherent summary.
AI is basically doing what a first-year lawyer or experienced paralegal would be doing before.

This is not a complete comment. Some populations, and this includes some populations that are of extinct lineages, have marker genes of australasian populations, and those markers do not show in any other populations in the new world.
This was considered "possibly because as that population passed from Beringia after the Younger Dryas they left no trace" say because they migrated by boat down the West coast without settling on land where their remains could be found, and then managed to cross the Andes to get to the Amazon, but it now appears that the peopling of the New world goes back to either the Younger Dryas and possibly to the Boelling interstadial (warm period) prior and would have had to have been by boat.

How many times must it be explained that ICE was funded and appropriated through 2028 by the OBBB?
There are some minor support functions, apparently, and some expanded spending (like some holding centers) that the GOP eyed that didn't get funded, but enforcement from OBBB is still around.
The shutdown wasn't about expanded ICE funding, though. It was about policy changes like masks and IDs and not being allowed near "sensitive" locations.
Did Democrats get any of those things?
No, they did not. So, why are people acting like the GOP caved?
Because Democrats declared victory and people believe them for some reason.

No, they did not. So, why are people acting like the GOP caved?
Because Democrats declared victory and people believe them for some reason.

It was actually the Democraps who caved, assuming this deal goes through. You can tell by how desperately they moved the goalposts.
The shutdown was all about ICE and the changes you mentioned. Dums got none of that. So they are now pretending it was always about funding TSA at airports," and since they got that -- which the GOP wanted too -- they won. Pathetic, but sadly even some on our side will fall for it.

Thank you. I knew they had to pay taxes and a lot would take cash. As I recall Oprah's audience had issues after the big giveaway.
I'm surprised the government is that petty.
Canada's a shithole, but when you win the lottery here, it is tax free. HOWEVER, in keeping with our communist nature, they limit the jackpots.
The Lotto Max is capped at $80 million dollars. And they then have extra million dollar prizes so the money gets spread around. Still $80 million would still let you live in BC, Toronto or Montreal if you wanted.....

Because Senate Democrats didn’t end up accepting the Republican offer on DHS funding & negotiations fell apart yesterday,
Dems will get *zero* of the ICE reforms they had been demanding, including ones that GOP had already agreed to, like showing ID, increased Congressional oversight, agreements to not hit sensitive locations, etc.
These reforms were the reason Dems started the shutdown in the first place, and now instead of getting a few concessions on their demand list, they get none.
The only thing they secured was no funding for CBP & ICE, which are largely already funded via the OBBB, and Republicans will seek to fund them even further without Dem votes in reconciliation instead.
As for the Dem’s demand list on ICE reforms?
“That ship has sailed,” Sen. Majority Leader John Thune said this morning. “They kissed that opportunity goodbye by failing to provide funding for those agencies.”

Places like Williams Grove should be fine for now. They are much smaller facilities. The lure of the big, full-size racetracks for developers is they usually sit on 100s of acres of mostly empty but usable land and are already properly zoned for commercial use.

The human brain goes through a development period in which, during childhood and puberty, the brain prunes connections to help focus and control how it perceives and interacts with reality. This is evident during early language acquisition, and later learning as the individual matures. One of the theories of schizophrenia is that the pruning is short circuited or neglecte, which causes all sorts of misconnections leading to hallucinations and bad reality matching.
I wonder if LLMs have the same problem.

I don't know, but we're not anywhere close to "it's over."
Probably has to do a long song and dance to make certain GOP senators happy that the process was followed correctly.
All we have is that they're in the middle of debate on amendments (well, they just went on recess, sort of) and implications that there are other paths that they could follow.

I've been listening to a lot of Sarah Paine's geopolitical/historical analysis on yootoob and she's quite good. However, she has two blind spots. First is an overreliance on the idea of foreign allies; and an absolute faith that alternative energy is the wave of the future. And since the Chinee are building most of the alt energy parts and equipment, she thinks that it's a harbinger of Chinese power in the near future.
What she doesn't get is that the Chinee aren't stupid enough to rebuild their whole domestic energy grid and expecting it to run on wind and solar. They're heavily investing in coal/nat gas power stations, like a sane country.

Ok, here's my answer to this: wait for the dead of winter in Toronto, with sustained subzero temps. Then, divert half the C-5Ms at Dover to fly day-and-night sorties, dropping crushed ice over Toronto for a week. Then say it was an accident. And let Operation Unleash Hail be a warning to future Chinese interlopers.

The "end the war" stuff is just the simplest way to play both sides. That's why Dems have started the chant.
Every day the war doesn't end they have the high ground. Then when it does they still have the high ground and Trump "listened" to them.
It's not gonna go on nearly as long as people fear, I don't think. They already know. That's why the story keeps morphing. Now they will settle on "end the war" for a while.

You know everything, as you have repeatedly indicated in every post, but this is about removing barriers for the Iranian people to do it themselves, NOT us, The ground forces will be the people on the ground there already who are sick of the regime and will knock them off once they see they are disarmed and unable to direct resistance.

Unless Israel and our deep intelligence here rolled him, which is *possible* but very unlikely. Israel has its own survival at stake.
What Trump is demonstrating more than anything is true leadership, something sorely lacking in the modern world. To the point where people don't even recognize it until the shape is completely revealed.
Putting his entire legacy on the line, and to some extent the future of the country, not to mention the hopes and cares of everyone who voted for him, all to do what he believes is right and will work.

At this point in the war, well, that's the next step, and it makes sense. They will go in there to remove the last vestiges of the islamic regime, the armed ground forces of the IRNG (or whatever, who cares?) which will allow the real people of Iran to come together in some sort of equitable governing system.
And it's not like we are sending our boys to their certain deaths... quite the fucking opposite. They are the best trained and best equipped force ever seen. They won't be beaten.
Yes, it's dangerous, and of course some may give their lives, but isn't that what war, and peace, is all about?

Intelligence isn't necessarily an important quality in any given position, any more than strength is. It's often a detractor.
Most of our ruling class are borderline retarded, because most of them *have to be* for the system to keep working.
Look, for instance, at Jim Comey and John Brennan. A couple of dull normals (to be generous, particularly in Brennan's case) heading up our spy agencies.
As a general rule, it's preferable that American elected and appointed officials are paste-eating window lickers.

Because Senate Democrats didn’t end up accepting the Republican offer on DHS funding & negotiations fell apart yesterday, Dems will get *zero* of the ICE reforms they had been demanding, including ones that GOP had already agreed to, like showing ID, increased Congressional oversight, agreements to not hit sensitive locations, etc.
These reforms were the reason Dems started the shutdown in the first place, and now instead of getting a few concessions on their demand list, they get none.
The only thing they secured was no funding for CBP & ICE, which are largely already funded via the OBBB, and Republicans will seek to fund them even further without Dem votes in reconciliation instead

The Morning Report — 3/27/26
Was there just an attempt to carry out a mass casualty attack at CENTCOM headquarters? MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida is where the headquarters of CENTCOM, the United States Central Command are located. CENTCOM oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East, Central Asia, and some areas of South Asia, and that means that it is involved in U.S. actions against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Recently, an improvised explosive device was discovered outside a gate at MacDill; it didn’t go off, but if it had, the damage could have been extensive. Was someone targeting CENTCOM? And if so, who?The more one examines this story, the more questions multiply. . . It all started on March 10, when “a 911 call warned of a bomb near the base’s visitor center. At the time, no device had been located.” Who made the call? No one knew at the time, but it turned out to be Alen Zheng, using a burner phone he bought at Best Buy. He apparently made the call in the hope of terrorizingthe people at MacDill. At the time of the call itself, however, no one at MacDill appeared to be particularly concerned about it, as nothing was found, and the people on the base went about their business. . .Were the Zhengs acting alone, out of some personal animus, or were they agents of the Chinese Communist government? Was this an attempt to disrupt CENTCOM’s operations, or just a couple of leftist nuts acting upon their hatred of the United States? If the People’s Republic was behind it, there are all sorts of reasons to downplay the incident at this time, but will any response be made? Could we at least get that program to bring over 500,000 Chinese nationals canceled?Heaven forfend, lest we be accused of resurrecting the "Yellow Peril" tropes of the 19th century. Too late, Tom Cotton went there!
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) compared President Ronald Reagan’s characterization of the Soviet Union to the reality of modern-day China, telling Breitbart News that the country is an “evil empire” and calling President Xi Jinping a “Marxist.” . . . China’s infamous Belt and Road Initiative “is just an example of how they’re trying to extend Communist Chinese influence around the world,” Cotton added.NB there are several other stories in the links about Chi-Com subversion obviously all interrelated to this one. Modern China, which aside from the trappings of 21st century technology like Islam has always had a toxic mix of imperialism and xenophbia that drives its ambitions not only to control those within its sphere of influence by keeping foreign ideas and cultures at bay by every means at their disposal, from massive walls to genocide and wars of conquest fought with both armies and by subversion. If only Truman nuked Beijing the moment the PLA crossed the Yalu River way back when, or let MacArthur Go all the way instead of sacking him. Oh well, here we are 70 odd years later. The Chinese Communist Party have in many ways far exceeded their Russian Soviet mentors and role models in this regard. Both combined have over the past century degraded our own society to the point where we are forced to endure this kind of insanity:
Over the last few years, we have seen how American universities have been shifting into a rhetoric that not only accepts “Death to America,” but is openly chanting the same slogans of the oppressive regime . . . When professors, like Samer Alatout, and academic figures use their authority to defend or legitimize the Islamic Republic of Iran, they are reinforcing the narrative of a regime defined by repression, executions, support for militant groups, and decades of promoting “Death to America.” . . . The question facing universities is not whether professors are allowed to express political views. Academic freedom protects that right. The deeper concern is what happens after students leave the classroom. When narratives promoted by professors begin to mirror the messaging of an authoritarian regime that openly calls for America’s destruction, those ideas do not remain confined to campus debates.Let's be clear. Academia, the so-called cultural elite, the Left and the Democrat Party are not merely against our attacking Iran. They have been collectively and continually shrieking "Death to America" in both word and deed for nearly 200 years. They hate America, its history, heritage, culture and people as much if not more than the Mullahs. And speaking of which and shifting gears, as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as the popular outlets listed below, things are getting muddled in Iran vis a vis what our final objective is or should be. And as we both have stated and written many many times, US boots on the ground is to say the very least not a good idea, and yet the 82nd Airborne and possibly many more are on their way to the Middle East. Could be kharg Island or perhaps somewhere else as this latest development suggests:
Yemen’s Houthi rebels said Thursday that they are ready to stand with Iran against the US and Israel, threatening to open a new front along the Red Sea that serves as a key global trade route. The Iran-backed terror group said that it would be ready to enter the fight at a moment’s notice following Tehran’s warning that the war could spread to the Bab al-Mandab Strait if the US launches a ground invasion. “We stand fully militarily ready with all options,” a Houthi leader told Reuters, suggesting the rebel group was in direct coordination with Iran.Yikes. Have a great weekend! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

The Iran-backed terror group said that it would be ready to enter the fight at a moment’s notice following Tehran’s warning that the war could spread to the Bab al-Mandab Strait if the US launches a ground invasion. “We stand fully militarily ready with all options,” a Houthi leader told Reuters, suggesting the rebel group was in direct coordination with Iran.

Also, in addition to the CENTCOM attempted bombing - the B-52 air base in Louisiana was swarmed by drones that are beyond the technological capability of Iran to deploy. Yet nobody is talking about it. The operations at the base had to be suspended.
The tools are readily available for drone defense - I don't know why more emphasis hasn't been put on it. There's a mobile deployable system that uses airburst Bushmaster cannon rounds to neutralize drone swarms thats already proven - why they're not ubiquitously installed is beyond me.

I know a woman who took her teenage son to a therapist because the boy was having a rough time. He made a joking remark about being as emotional as a girl about certain things.
The therapist's immediate response was "Do you think you're a girl? I can get you started on hormone treatments."

Use B-52 and inexpensive (and indiscriminate) gravity bombs, make each bomb line part of a triangle. Use two triangles, with points opposed. Put the Star of David in bomb damage lines on the capital.

But my absolute favorite part was they gave not a single bit of proof that Somali's are not low-IQ garbage people from a low-IQ garbage country.
Because any Somali who isn't low-IQ despises the rest.

Is it time to ban ALL military flight exercises from incroaching on civilian airports?
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at March 27, 2026 08:11 AM (Zz0t1)
A better ban would be to limit to non-civilian flight hours (aka 12am-5am)...b/c some of those routes might be needed in an emergency.

I didn't want to drive three days. A flight, theoretically, would put me at my destination in five or six hours -- not counting the wait in lines. But then I'd have to rent a car -- $100/day now. And I'd have to go through the entire torture scenario on the way home, and pay for my car's parking at my home airport, or a cab both ways. Can you say "no flippin' way"? I knew you could.

Now... after many hundreds of flights over the years and the general degradation of the quality of the experience I simply dread going to the airport, even when there's not a TSA problem... it's torture

"Senators worked through the night on the deal that would fund much of the rest of the department, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Coast Guard and TSA, but without funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Customs was funded, but Border Protection was not.
The package puts no new limits on immigration enforcement, which has remained largely uninterrupted by the shutdown. The GOP’s big tax cuts bill that Trump signed into law last year funneled billions in extra funds to DHS, including $75 billion for ICE operations, ensuring the immigration officers are still being paid despite the lapse."

Mass transit security should be handled and paid for by the company that runs the transport.
Give them police power and limited official immunity (as the left will launch a thousand discrimination cases to get their union members rehired).
Why should I pay for your security at the airport even though I'm not flying?
And why is a federal agency required? Is there magic detection ability in their brass badge?
Airline can run KYC through the federal database pre-purchase, the ticket QR code can embed link to that biometrics that pulls up when scanned. Facial and pattern recognition AI to track you through the airport from check in.
Zero lines. Zero security needed.

Because W wanted so desperately to be loved by Dems and prove he wasn't "one of those Republicans" he held over Clinton's Secretary of Transportation.
Who literally cried on 60 Minutes justifying his policy of random body cavity searches of white men and grandma's-- but not towel-head muslims--because otherwise was racial profiling just like when his grandparents were detained during WWII.
No really. That was his actual argument: we must not focus our limited time and resources on the most likely terrorists because that would be mean.

They ended up getting a separate budget conversation on funding ICE and CBP, which they want to shut down because it is deporting their voters. BTW Republicans agreed to do that some time ago. But Democrats kept pressing for more.
ICE and CBP will continue to operate for years because they are fully funded.
Under Biden Democrats helped millions of illegal aliens invaded our country, steal taxpayer money and defraud the government. Did you really think they would let the invaders and criminal get deported without a fight?
Now Democrats get to stand up and defend illegal aliens for the midterms.

Most people I know have no idea what's going on outside what they hear from mainstream sources. They think this talk of Color Revolutions is a crazy conspiracy theory and USAID was used to feed orphans in Africa.
USAID was a laundromat used to siphon our tax dollars into organizations both foreign and domestic to work hand in hand with the deep state and uniparty politicians to carry out missions that supported their preferred policies and attacked anyone like Trump who opposed them. Gutting that corrupt organization was a huge blow to them but they are far from dead. All these anti-ICE protests are professionally funded and organized just like BLM and antifa.
The most disturbing part is their partnership with scumbags like Neville Singham who is a marxist in league with the CCP. And it's all real.

Also claims to have converted from Islam to Christianity, yet the photos of him in uniform show him wearing a beard. Last I knew, beards are generally not allowed under BUPERS grooming regulations except under medical waiver or religious exemption (and Special Force personnel where warranted).
We know he isn't SPECFOR and it's unlikely he has a medical waiver.
Any ideas which religion mandates beards?

My first car was a new '75 Ford Maverick, the four-door version with the bigger (ha!) six-cylinder, plus A/C and power steering. Really it was my then-fiancee's car. But I learned to drive on it, drove it to work, and taught myself a lot about regular auto maintenance by working on it.

The best I ever saw was about 16 or so on the highway. Auto transmission, though. At .55/gal. in those days, that wasn't too bad.
It had power steering, but not power brakes. It didn't matter much, as the ca. 100-hp car was not going to need heavy braking, and it didn't. The radio was only AM; I bought a Pioneer Supertuner with cassette player and had it put in *under* the dash, like that big circular plotter Sulu had at the helm of the Enterprise.

Have flown twice in the past month. Once to DC, once to Orlando - both from my little regional airport in Portland ME.
In my airport, there were absolutely no lines for Precheck.
DC there was 3 people in front of me in the Precheck line.
Orlando last week there was that sh*t show of a storm that blew through the east coast and canceled everything the day I was supposed to fly, so Wednesday morning at 430AM (I had to stay in the airport two days) I was in a 10 minute line at Precheck. The normal line at B terminal was a mile long at least.
I simply don't understand why people don't get Precheck. Its ridiculously easy hoop to jump through, you don't have to do all of the bullsh*t with the body scanners (can't remember the last time I had to do that) can leave your shoes on, your laptops in their bags and just walk through the metal detector. Thats in addition to the shorter lines.

I barely speak about politics with anyone because 99+% have no idea what they are talking about.
The best way I can explain it, and I'm not trying to be an asshole, is the feeling you get when you know a group of people are talking about football or something and it's obvious that someone is kind of playing along. It's ok not to know but pretending is just embarrassing for everyone. The key difference is that in politics people never see it. They seem to think an opinion is all that matters regardless of actual knowledge.

Also, in addition to the CENTCOM attempted bombing - the B-52 air base in Louisiana was swarmed by drones that are beyond the technological capability of Iran to deploy. Yet nobody is talking about it. The operations at the base had to be suspended.
The tools are readily available for drone defense - I don't know why more emphasis hasn't been put on it. There's a mobile deployable system that uses airburst Bushmaster cannon rounds to neutralize drone swarms thats already proven - why they're not ubiquitously installed is beyond me.

I remember those, my first time entry into auto mods. Good friend had one that was a year old, wanted a skylight over the front seat, but it cost a lot to have one installed. So 17 year old him decided he could probably do it himself, and 17 year old me said “that’s a great idea, I can bring my dad’s tools, we’ll do it together!” So we went to Western Auto and bought a cheap car skylight, and went after the cars roof with a hacksaw.
It actually turned out surprisingly well. Not without a few worrisome moments; as was my habit at the time, I had not considered the possible downsides of our actions until we were well into the cutting.

>>Well, that and those people are full of themselves.
It's exactly why. CIA Operation Mockingbird started back in the early 60s with the intent of infiltrating the media and controlling the narrative. It's still going on and we all got a ringside seat for the Russia hoax where both print and broadcast media were nothing more than mouthpieces for the intel community.
It's pretty easy to be cocky and confident when you are partnered with the federal government. That's also why they hate Trump and us so much. It's really the first serious threat to uniparty government and their pets in the media in decades.

All these NO KINGs people, Iranian street celebrators, do you really think they know what-it-takes to run a country, let alone the world?
It should be intuitively obvious China can't invade Taiwan without Iran/Oil but definitely WILL mine the strait immediately after Trump takes Kharg Island (the neutron-bomb nuclear way or not) if-and-only-if Hegseth fully deploys fully effect ASW (anti-submarine warfare) to destroy the remaining Iranian 30 mini-subs, and mine deploying trawlers (an extra 6 neutron bombs would take care of them too), but effective ASW will forever close the window on China's annexing of Tawain

Regarding Zheng 1 and Zheng 2, South China Morning Post, in its article, 'Siblings who fled to China charged over bomb planted outside US Air Force base,' is the following:
"Alen Zheng remains at large, while Ann Mary Zheng was arrested after she returned to the US; their mother has been detained for deportation."
Reportedly, Ann and Alen Zheng are US citizens. Their mother was detained for deportation, having overstayed her visa. The device Alen left March 10th was outside the Visitor's Center, not inside McGill's security gates.
Arizona's Family: "Then he and his sister sold their Mercedes-Benz SUV, bought tickets to China, and were gone by March 12th."
Why Ann returned to the US and whether she and her brother hold dual citizenship with China? 🤷♀️

Daily Tech News 27 March 2026
Top Story
- Intel has been delivering interesting new products lately, with the Core 250K and Core 270K processors and the B70 Pro graphics card all providing solid performance at unmatched prices. The Core 290K processor, though - the planned new top of the line - has been unceremoniously - and now, officially - cancelled. (Tom's Hardware)
The 290K was to replace the existing 285K. But since the new 270K has already been upgraded to match the core counts of the 285K, the 290K could only offer higher clock speeds... And Intel can't offer higher clock speeds, not with these particular chips.
- Also spoiling Intel's plans is AMD with its long-awaited Ryzen 9950X3D2. (Tom's Hardware)
AMD's X3D chips have what they call "3D V-Cache", because it has triple the usual amount of cache memory, with a second memory die stacked on top of the CPU - or in the latest iteration, underneath it. Vertically. In 3D. Which is slightly redundant, yes.
The new X3D2 variant applies that to both the CPU dies in a 16-core processor. The increased cache provides its biggest performance gains for computer games - often running 30% faster than anything else - which only really use eight cores since that's what the current generation of consoles have.
The 9950X3D2 is aimed more at workstation users and for most tasks will be barely faster (and possibly slightly slower) than the existing 9950X3D.
AMD plans a breakthrough with its upcoming Zen 6 family, which will offer 50% more of everything, cores and cache alike.
Tech News
- Reddit has a bot problem and plans to tackle it by verifying the notbots. (Tech Crunch)
The notbots are rioting at the thought of being verified.
- Wikpedia has banned AI-generated articles. (Engadget)
Like Reddit, Wikipedia has as large a problem with its humans as its inhumans, but this is not intrinsically a bad idea.
- Tracy Kidder, a storyteller (as he described himself) and author of the classic tech story The Soul of a New Machine about the creation of the Data General Nova minicomputer, has passed away. (The Guardian)
He was 80.
- Also late is Apple's Mac Pro. (9to5Mac)
It was introduced in 2019.
Apple has indicated that there will be no future Mac Pro models, or anything to fit that gap in the market.
- The Langflow visual framework for building AI workflows has of course been compromised. (Bleeping Computer)
This is not a burn-your-house-down panic situation like some recent incidents, but if you're using it, update immediately.
- Don't cross the streams. (Tech Crunch)
Speaking of recent incidents, LiteLLM, which as I reported yesterday is recovering from being very thoroughly hacked, previously received two security certifications marking it as safe to use.
From Delve.Even so, as engineer Gergely Orosz pointed out on X when he saw people snickering about it online, "Oh damn, I thought this WAS a joke. ... but no, LiteLLM *really* was 'Secured by Delve.'"
The attack on LiteLLM was indirect via Trivy and GitHub, so users of the software probably were safe... Right up until the entire project was compromised.As for LiteLLM, CEO Krrish Dholakia had no comment on the use of Delve. He's still busy cleaning up the unfortunate mess from being a victim of attack.

Sure, the Israelis could counter that with actual information (like getting themselves photographed with the current day's newspaper and a perfectly intact Tel Aviv behind them) - and some are!
Better yet though, and far more amusing to me, are those Israelis who are generating memes to counter the Iranian state media showing Godzilla (or other fictitious beings) destroying Tel Aviv.
I'd love for someone to make up a really awful looking paper mache mock-up of Tel-Aviv and then go stomping about in it on video, and hold up a sign saying "We're the Iranian State Media, totally accurate, trust us bro!"

There's that, and the fact your rears generally track the front and benefits from the siping/clearing of water already done by the fronts.

No, Rev, I'm not disagreeing with the shop's advice; I'll happily buy the new tires. My only question is, where should the new tires go. Most of my driving life (which will make a half-century next month), I'd heard the drive wheels advice, but now I get conflicting answers.

On trucks, anyway, it's illegal to put retreads on the steering wheels. So, by extension, he's probably right.

Right. I hate to throw away a two-year-old tire, the RF, but the fronts wear faster, esp. being on the drive wheels. So it's as if the RF, though age two, is actually more than three, and the LF is over five.

Transfer the better of the two to "spare duty". Beats having the tiny doughnut. You might need to purchase a steel rim to accomplish this. Also make sure you can fit a full sized spare tire where the doughnut is right now before you commit to this idea.

Now not but last spring/summer we had roof damage from large stones hurled quite a distance from a missile impact in the area. Fixed within a few days.
In early 2024, an incoming intercepted missile scattered a rain of shrapnel over a large area. We have 2 half dollar size souvenirs on display in the house.
At present, the missile came in north of Jerusalem. So Mrs. BD and I are enjoying our coffees from the comfort of our home. First reports are the missile was intercepted and no reports yet of know damage or injured.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - March 26, 2026 [Doof]

Make currency great again! Exclusive: Trump signature to appear on US currency, ending 165-year tradition
U.S. paper currency will bear President Donald Trump's signature starting this summer, the first time a sitting president has signed American money, the Treasury Department said on Thursday. The redesigned notes, planned to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, will also for the first time in 165 years drop the signature of the U.S. treasurer, who reports to the Treasury Secretary and oversees the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the U.S. Mint and other Treasury functions. The first $100 bills with Trump's signature and that of U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be printed in June, followed by other bills in subsequent months. The new bills may take several weeks to circulate through banks.This will make the leftists push even harder for a cashless society. I don't know about you, but I now want to go back to cash transactions even m ore now! ----- Dino, not sure if you've seen this... World’s Largest Dinosaur needs a new home
The Treasury is still producing notes bearing the signatures of former President Joe Biden's Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, and former Treasurer Lynn Malerba.
Malerba will be the last of an unbroken line of treasurers whose signatures have appeared on U.S. federal currency since 1861, when the U.S. government first issued it. The signature change is the latest effort by the Trump administration and its allies to put the president's name on buildings, institutions, government programs, warships and coins. A federal arts panel, whose members Trump appointed, approved last week the design for a commemorative gold coin with Trump's image.
Anyone in the market to take ownership of the World’s Largest Dinosaur? The 86-foot-tall, 145,000-pound Tyrannosaurus rex named Tyra resides in the small town of Drumheller in the Canadian Badlands about 84 miles northeast of Calgary. If it helps sweeten the deal, surveyors recently certified her as, “safe, stable, and ready to welcome visitors,” even after over 25 years of hosting as many as 12 guests at a time inside its mouth/viewing platform. Taking custody of the popular tourist attraction near the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology is serious business, but the town is on a tight schedule. Last year, the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce (DDCC) announced it would end its lease on the property in 2029, leaving the fiberglass and steel dinosaur’s future uncertain. However, officials made it clear that they weren’t leaving Tyra in a lurch. “Completing a structural assessment was identified as the first step to better understand the attraction’s condition and expected longevity, so partners could begin to explore long-term options for the dinosaur,” the Chamber of Commerce explained in an update on March 20th. In addition to a comprehensive review of the property’s integrity, Drumheller also recently invested a final $310,000 in exterior repainting and restoration to safeguard the T. rex through her last era under town oversight.C'mon brother -- you just GOTTA acquire this! ----- Got one of these laying around? Could be time to sell it! This '80s Decor Gem Was Once In Countless Homes — Now It's A Lucky Thrift Store Find
From "Miami Vice" neons to glass block walls, there are certain interior design features that should stay in the '80s. However, fiber optic lamps are a decor gem once found in countless homes, and now becoming a lucky thrift store find as '80s-themed rooms become this year's answer to the maximalist trend. Maybe you happily unwrapped a fountain-shaped fiber optic lamp right after getting a pair of jelly shoes or cassette player for your birthday. Or perhaps your grandma had a fancy floral version sitting inside its pristine clear-and-black plastic box on her mantel. If you can still put your hands on one of them, you might be surprised to learn just how valuable vintage fiber optic lamps are today, with many selling for hundreds of dollars. *** If you happen to spot a vintage fiber optic lamp at your local thrift store, you'll probably want to buy it even if it's not exactly your style. Authentic ones in working condition can sell for hundreds of dollars on sites like Etsy and eBay. As with many vintage pieces, size and uniqueness will play a big role in how much you can expect to spend or make. Smaller retro floral versions like grandma had may only be worth between $50 to $100. However, large fountain-style and space age-inspired designs with substantial bases typically sell for between $150 and around $350. Midcentury Modern "UFO" base lamps are listed on Etsy for over $500, and exceptionally large and detailed versions can fetch over $700.----- Always keep your head on a swivel!

The Fellowship of the Ring has just arrived at the Gates of Moria on the western slopes of the Misty Mountains.
As I read through the description of their approach to the gate, I'm once again in awe of the level of detail that the developers of Lord of the Rings Online have taken in crafting the details of the virtual Middle-Earth.
The outer gates of Moria and the surrounding terrain are *exactly* as described in the books.

No. Flash Gordon is a genuinely good movie. It not only does what it sets out to do, it does so with style and panache. It is a swashbuckling science fiction story and is even true to its source material.
I have some guilty pleasures in movies, but Flash Gordon isn’t one of them.

Some interesting perhaps SMOD-adjacent news. The first quarter of 2026 saw a big uptick in the number of large meteor fireballs. The biggest surge was this month, and you have may seen some videos of those. Question is if this real or some reporting artifact, and if it is real, if it is significant. Here's a report on this by the American Meteor Society, not to be confused with the American Meteorological Society, which are two very different things:
https://is.gd/aI6Q9jO
As you can see, it's complicated. But there appears to be a genuine spike in the number of large fireballs, and it's coming from the antihelion area (region of the sky opposite the sun at any given time), and also from very high declinations, meaning objects on highly inclined orbits. These are small, and don't pose any impact threat or anything.

That lady in Maryland has more courage than the rest of the nation to call ICE before her roof was finished.
I have noticed there are not as many espanol speaking men coming to our door, leaving their cards, looking for work. A good sign!
Also, the one rental house on our street is a roofing business, and you guessed it, Hispanics. They've been very quiet since May 5, 2025 and a wild party. I hope they move when their lease is up. I guess better than Haitians eating cats.

#MeToo
We bought this place almost 11yrs ago and remodeled the entire thing over 3yrs of subcontractors just before the plandemic. Our roofer was probably American who had illegals, as I never heard English. Roof, furnace/AC and deck were the first major stuff within months of torture to replace.
Every morning and at quitting time one roofer guy would have an operatic song at the top of his lungs. Espanol music blasting all day. I think they were done in 2-3 days, so pretty fast and no complaints. I stayed in the basement the entire time and prayed it would soon be over. Which is how I handled the gutting of our kitchen as well on the main floor.
Worth it but I doubt I could do it again. My husband replaced all of the doorknobs and hinges, so it's all ours now.
The crazy chy knee woman who sold it had it painted 40 Shades of Mustard & installed beige sort of shag carpeting before the sale. That was the first to go. The paint was different in every room and a neighbor said she hired HS kids to do it...and it showed. Hideous!
Yet I saw hope and it's lovely now.

They are cajuns, I think, in bigger bodies of water. Probably have cajun cousins who did this after I moved West.
Brothers, sons, husband,etc fish in the boat and row it to shore, haul it up and that's it. Nothing fancy, and mud is ok. My only participation in my distant youth was to drink beer in the boat with my brother.
My father tried to teach me to fish as a toddler. I have a memory of catching a fish and running up the hill with the fish and him laughing. It was a cane pole. Then he tried to get me to bait the hook and I said no and that was the end of it.

Going tomorrow for a consultation with a radiologist - one of my smaller tumors has grown a little (all of the others have stayed the same). The oncologist thinks they may be able to kill this new growth with a few sessions of radiation. Will know more after we talk with the radiologist.
The good news is that everything is still confined to my liver - no metastasis to any other parts of my body.
Oncologist says I probably have at least 6-12 more months; maybe longer, depending on how the treatment I am currently on continues to work. So far, I am still feeling fine (apart from gaining weight due to the steroids that are part of this protocol) 👍👍👍

Actually no it doesn't, oil is glossy. They haven't leaked since 1985 though, getting rid of the chain oilers was a major deal. Somebody at harley thought it was a good idea to have taps on the oil pump to oil the rear chain. Yeah where does it go after that, in the street, all over the bottom of the bike so it can gather in a few different areas and drop off the frame in 6 different spots. Do the owners ever adjust the oiler for minimum output? Nope, just let it drip. My 4 are all from the late 80's and earlier 90's. Never a drop under them.

There's this new semi-gloss gray on last year's cars (and this year's, I think). It's like it's intentionally trying to hide, shamed for its owner. It is so very blecch. And it's THE new car color it seems. What sort of post-modern progressive nihilist thought this was a good idea?
If I had enough money I'd put a semi-modern engine, suspension, and exhaust in a 1959 Duesenberg or something. Paint it something like candy apple red with some stripes. Or a black with lots of chrome and brass fittings to make it pop. (And a wood dashboard.)

A woman in Maryland hired a company which employed illegals to fix her roof then called ICE and had them wait there to arrest them
-----
Isn't she worried that the wetbacks' friends and relatives will take revenge? Send the crew to the address of someone you don't like, preferably a house occupied by other wetbacks. Then in addition to the dozen or so roofers, ICE will also get the thirty illegals living in the house.

I don't. Though it's impossible to know the full picture, no indications I know of that by far the most important and effective part of re-establishing rule of law in immigration - enforcement against employers - is happening at any level above the casual low level we've seen for years.
DHS does PSAs and such warning employers about enforcement. But AFAIK no chickens have been killed to scare the monkeys. Including large corporate criminals (meat-packing). A handful of raids, here and there.
Employer enforcement is not only, by far, the most effective/high leverage enforcement tool, it also is the one that *might* begin to rebuild some respect for the rule of law, if only through fear.

That sounds pretty cool. I did a bike last year, a 56 panhead chopper that a few different shades of candy greens, and we did a lot of little brass accents, like brass acorn nuts, and bolts. Instead of the stainless braided oil lines we did brass braided lines. It was pretty sharp. I wasn't sure I was going to like the brass, but it worked.

They make them scary these days. I test drove one I worked on. It was a 117 inch engine on a hardtail frame. I whacked the throttle on it and it almost threw me off. I held on and hit 2nd gear and it snapped my head back hard enough where my helmet came off and was hanging behind my head. Scariest thing I ever rode. It felt like it had a car engine in it.

So quick update on my gout which I've been complaining about from time to time.
So it's been pretty bad the last two months or so. Just keep acting up. Ends up bad enough I either can't walk or I can only painfully shuffle like a 90 year old man. Honestly, there are times I wish I had a walker. Allopurinol basically just stopped working. Taking NSAIDS has been advised against cuz of the ulcerative colitis but fuck it. But I've also noticed unlike a typical gout attack my feet don't hurt constantly. Gout flare ups are very painful whether you're on or off your feet. But right now if I'm off my feet it's like no problem. Also, I've been getting fever and chills when it starts acting up. So I'm guessing infection. Did you know gout can cause infections? I looked it up. News to me.
So I've got a tentative doctor's appointment in a week, assuming I can get home by then. But my dispatch fucked me hard and I'm stuck north of Fort Worth because they gave me the wrong fucking appointment time for a delivery. Now I have to wait until Tuesday. Cocksuckers.
Anyway, hopefully something can get done for my gout cuz this shit has been freaking unbearable.

Most likely, Count One is DWI based on erratic driving and officer observing the trinity of slurred speech, bloodshot watery eyes, and the smell of alcohol; Count Two would be driving with a BAC over 0.08;Count Three might be something like BAC over 0.15, or possibly mixing alcohol and other drugs.

It's just three different ways to charge basically the same offence. Even if convicted on all three, it counts as one DUI and the sentence would be for just one of the charges, not all three. At least that's how they do it in Illinois.

Posted by: Puddleglum at work at March 26, 2026 10:53 PM (Xr4QU)
I think my favorite was when Woody (the character) finally got laid, and everyone could tell. Half-fabricated vague memory:
"What do you mean?"
"Well... You haven't stopped smiling."
"No..."
"Yes, really."
"Okay, I'll stop."
/beat
"You're still smiling like a mad dog."
What put it over the top was the fairly obvious gentle dig at Woody (the actor) and his lack of emotive range. Plus, he was game and turned in the most solidly one-note performance of his career... but on purpose. And then had some actual dramatic expression later in the episode.

Poor little Bob sat for a moment, stunned, and then began following Cat again. *Repeat the stop/slap & walk away*
Poor Bob. Not the brightest, but at least Cat didn't go into Full Attack Mode on him. Bob finally stopped following.

Supposedly some woman feeds them and has some of her own, so the cats might be all mixed up with some being pets and some being interlopers. Some don't run from you, some keep their distance. Like they might get spooked, but don't actually go very far. Its strange. Its also why the shop owner isn't so fast to do anything with them because he don't know which ones are pets.

Hard to say what triggers it, but seems cats will bring presents to those whom they favor.
Perhaps it's a thanks for the hunting rights?

My neighbor has an orange cat that constantly patrols my yard. I find him everywhere. Under the pickup sleeping, on the roof of the car, in the front yard under the tree, everywhere. He has a huge range. i see him at another neighbor across the street, or walking down the 800ft driveway that goes to a farm across he street. he's everywhere, but he seems to like my yard. One day a friends daughter stopped by with her jeep because I had to look at something. She popped the hood and left it open and came inside. We went back out and there the cat was, laying on her air cleaner. He left a dead mouse outside the drivers door of mrs B's car one time. She wasn't amused. lol

I'm at the Council of Elrond in The Fellowship of the Ring.
I don't know why, but it's one of my favorite chapters in the whole book.
It's just a bunch of characters telling stories, but there's so much lore and history revealed, it's fascinating.

Senators can enter the floor from any of 3 or 4 doors. Personal and committee staff come in through one door off the big lobby next to the VP's office. This staff shows Senate photo ID to access the floor.
Voting in the Senate is from the clerk recognizing a senator who's seeking recognition for this purpose, senator then calls out aye or no. It can happen from anywhere on the floor, as long as the clerk sees them. No additional ID required.
This is all as it was forever, dunno if changed since I was there.

No, you didn't "leave of your own accord". Let's set the record straight, there.

You thought the keyboards hounded you away the last time? That was the warm up act.

As usual I was sitting right next to one door, the one most used by senators entering/leaving the floor.
In walks Dave Durenberger (R-MN) - always a cheerful and friendly sort. He walks in just to the first row of senators' seats, stops, and gets the eye of the clerk. Clerk doesn't say anything. Durenberger smiles and gives a forceful "thumbs up" (= aye). Defendant (judge) slumps a bit. Sad!
Presiding officer reminds all that in impeachment votes, senators vote from their seats, and that the votes are "guilty" or "not guilty". Durenberger rushes to his seat, is recognized, stands up, "guilty". Then rushes off the floor back to whatever he was doing.

Recall the infamous (truly) thumbs-down McCain (spit) vote on partial O-care repeal.
Thumbs up/down was not uncommon. The clerk calls out the vote, "Mr Ace, aye". Rarely there are "present" votes where conflict of interest considerations call for it (in the senator's estimation, not a rule).
But my favorite were Bob Dole's hand signals. His most famous was the "T" time-out signal he would use to have a quorum call. Presiding officer understood the signal and proceeded with the standard "The lack of a quorum having been suggested, the clerk will call the roll".

Marjorie Taylor Greene
@mtgreenee
I’d like to congratulate two time Congressional candidate loser Laura Loomer, MIGA foreign op Mark Levin, and Neocon murdering psycho Senator Lindsey Graham for leading Republicans into slaughter going into midterms.
Your incessant lies to President Trump have destroyed all faith in the GOP.
I’d also like to remind everyone that when I led the party on the campaign trail fighting for America First in ‘22 and ‘24, all the GOP did was win win win!
But after Trump called me a traitor and said he would destroy me for releasing the Epstein files, I refuse to fight for Trump and the Republican Party that defends the Epstein class, wages pointless foreign wars, and pursues America LAST.
I never changed, Trump and the GOP betrayed their voters and took in the trash we threw out of the party.
Loomer, Levin, and Lady Lindsey are the BEST political consultants the Democrat Party could ever imagine!!!

From Loomer :
"The same day I exposed @mtgreenee for funneling over $60,000 to her family in campaign funds immediately after she announced her resignation from Congress, MTG is now going on an insane rant blaming me for other candidates who I have never met losing their races…
She goes on to say that I am leading Republicans to slaughter ahead of the midterms even though I’m the one who is constantly calling out and exposing bad candidates and secret democrats who are infiltrating the GOP. I’m the one who has stayed loyal to the President while she has sided with the Radical Left and Soros funded organizations to launch attacks against President Trump on a daily basis.."
etc. Loomer's been sounding the alarm about the traitors who are backstabbing Trump and his administration, MTG being one of them, and now low IQ MTG is exposed and BIG MAD! lol , sad whore

Dear Mister Wikipedia, what is a 'Cenobite'?
Cenobitic monasticism… one of several forms of monasticism, distinguished from the eremitic life of a hermit, or the skete and lavritic forms developed in Eastern Christianity.
As someone so famously said, I don't get it. Also, sorry I asked.
"Images for Cenobite" show it to be a very strange-looking bunch, though!

The government isn't even allowed to handle basic security threats now. Our hundred strong politburo of activist judges run everything.
Sure, sure, it will be overturned after a very long time and then 5 milliseconds later they will make another ruling.
During Trump's presidency, when you add it all up at the end, we will probably enjoy a grand total of 7 minutes of actual Trump executive action, with the remaining 99.9997% of our lives under the dictates of our communist politburo.

Semi-rhetorical question. There has been wholesale usurpation of executive authority since Jan. '25 on a range of issues, including executive discretion on national security and national interest.
But I'm fairly confident the existential trainwreck that is the judiciary and the Legal Cult crippling the country will not be materially reduced under Trump. And the bow-wave of alien indoctrinated idiotic law grads is just starting to appear. Prospects dim, getting dimmer.

He’s of Finnish extraction, among other things. His dad was a State Department guy, so he grew up in DC. Got involved with guitar during the Folk Scare in the early 60s and gave lessons to make ends meet.
Then he got involved with Jefferson Airplane. He’s a lefty though not obnoxious about it. There’s some excellent YT videos of him giving guitar lessons for many tunes, including his own. The Water Song is really fun to play, he’s an excellent instructor.

Quick Hits
Cynical PubliusOf course: Some people have the right to commit felonies and you're a racist for disagreeing.
@CynicalPublius America was nearly lost to a cabal of NGOs, think tanks, foundations, specialty media organizations, compromised mainstream media organizations, quasi-governmental organizations and all other manner of other well-funded (often with taxpayer dollars) players dedicated to preserving extra-governmental controls over the average American, all outside the scope of what Americans vote for. The men and women behind these organizations claim to want to benevolently advance public policy, when in reality their singular purpose is to maintain and grow the nefarious personal power they have achieved. Above all else they must defend their fiefdoms, the good of the nation be damned. When reformers try to undo any part of this cabal, those reformers are inevitably smeared, libeled, slandered and threatened. The goal is to prevent them from engaging in that necessary reform by intimidating them into silence. Food for thought.
Andy NgoArticle here. Speaking of people allowed to commit felonies with impunity: "Big Tish" James.
@MrAndyNgo 37m A BLM leader who was named the "Bostonian of the Year" has been ordered to pay back $224k of donations she stole after being convicted in a sweetheart deal. Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to 18 crimes but was not sent to prison. She is among a long list of BLM and leftist fraudsters who became rich on white guilt and lies.
The director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has again referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the U.S. Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, proffering allegations that New York's top cop may have falsified information on her homeowner's insurance application. ... In a letter to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Quinones, Pulte points to a court exhibit, an application for home insurance submitted to Ft. Lauderdale-based Universal Property Insurance, which appears to show that James claimed her Norfolk, Virginia home would be unoccupied for five months out of the year. However, James' niece reportedly told the grand jury that she was living rent-free in the home. The niece Nakia Thompson lived there for five years while she was wanted in North Carolina for failing to complete her probation, The New York Post reported. "[It] appears Ms. James made false representations that her property would be unoccupied five months out of the year," Pulte wrote. "According to the post, this was false. The house was, in fact, occupied year-round by her niece." In a separate letter to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Pulte says that one court document shows that James appears to have claimed to Allstate, which is based in that state, that her Virginia home would only be occupied by one individual, when public reporting indicates her niece lived there with three children. "[It] appears Ms. James made representations that the house would be occupied by a single adult, with no children. Instead, according to the post, she knew the house was actually occupied by four people - three children and her niece," Pulte wrote to U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros. "As such, it appears Ms. James may have defrauded the Illinois-based insurance company. We kindly request you authenticate and investigate this matter, if you deem appropriate," Pulte added.You may say this is a ticky-tack violation that is really about two parties entering a commercial transaction and that the proper punishment, if any is needed, would consist of the aggrieved party suing the other. But that's exactly the bullshit that "Big Tish" charged Donald Trump with -- overestimating the value of his properties as collateral in seeking a loan from Deutsche Bank. (Deutsche Bank -- Nazis!)_ And she claimed that that violation was worth, checks notes, a half-billion dollar penalty for "defrauding" Deutsche Bank in a loan that Trump paid back without incident. Chuck Schumer says he doesn't oppose asking for photo ID at the ballot box, just... proof of citizenship. Well, our cuck Senators tested his claim out and proposed an amendment requiring photo ID (but no proof of citizenship). All Democrats voted against it, of course.
Washington -- An amendment that would require voters to show photo identification to cast a ballot failed to advance in the Senate on Thursday, despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying last week that Democrats were not opposed to such a requirement. The amendment to the elections bill needed 60 votes to advance. It was defeated in a 53 to 47 vote. The vote came during the second week of a marathon debate over a controversial elections bill known as the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and certain forms of photo ID to cast a ballot. The legislation does not have enough support to clear the 60-vote threshold in the upper chamber, but President Trump has dialed up the pressure on Senate Republicans to find a way to force it through. Schumer condemned the amendment on Thursday before the vote, arguing it would "impose the single strictest voter ID law in America." "This radical amendment would toss out every single voter ID requirement in all 50 states for federal elections and put in an overly restrictive, one-size-fits-all approach," the New York Democrat said. GOP Sen. Jon Husted of Ohio offered the amendment, which lists valid forms of photo ID as a driver's license, state-issued identification, passport, military ID or tribal ID. "The types of IDs that are sitting in wallets right now, that the American people use on a regular basis," Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, said in a floor speech Wednesday. Ahead of the vote, Husted called the amendment "clean, simple, straightforward," adding that there are "no additional restrictions, no tricks, no games, no prohibition on absentee voting."

It's existential. They've go so far overboard because they knew they had fraud in place and would never answer to voters again. Now they have to stick it out to the bitter end. None of them won honest elections, so it doesn't matter how much support they lose. They have to hold the line till the midterms, but even that is risky because "Election Month" is going to be gone, and there will be actual federal oversight.
Plus losing candidates can sue and do discovery. So even if they hold the line, they still might suffer historic losses beyond the cheat. This is also why they want ICE to stop and keep robitically demanding the ICE promise to stay away from polling places.

Well, our cuck Senators tested his claim out and proposed an amendment requiring photo ID (but no proof of citizenship).
All Democrats voted against it, of course.
Trump is having an easier time negotiating with a bunch of Mahdi-Apocalypse Die-Hard mullahs and their pet revolutionaries in the IRGC than Chuck & the Dems.
At this point I really wouldn't mind if Hegseth dropped some Delta Force at Chuck & Hakeem's house and ended the negotiations Maduro-style.

It's existential. They've go so far overboard because they knew they had fraud in place and would never answer to voters again. Now they have to stick it out to the bitter end. None of them won honest elections, so it doesn't matter how much support they lose. They have to hold the line till the midterms, but even that is risky because "Election Month" is going to be gone, and there will be actual federal oversight.
Plus losing candidates can sue and do discovery. So even if they hold the line, they still might suffer historic losses beyond the cheat. This is also why they want ICE to stop and keep robitically demanding the ICE promise to stay away from polling places.

Ben Had,
We'll try those. It's strange to have that problem in a neighborhood but where we live there isn't any zoning about livestock and poultry. I don't have any problem with people having them except for the bastard flies.

Yellow jackets are already out here.
We have had no freezing weather and no snow which usually keeps the population down.
Little bastards are already dive bombing us on the covered patio.

Ok fine add to the bill that anyone who registers to vote can automatically get a voter id for free, as long as they show up to the county registrar to get the photo taken. Oh but what if you don’t have a car the Dems will say? No problem we’ll pay for an Uber there and back. But what if you don’t have a phone with the uber app? No problem someone from the local RNC office will drive you.
Take on every one of their objections. Make them defend the indefensible.

All the polling says it is reverse now. 40% is on board.

Finish the job, but there are domestic consequences to this. At this point it's how mad the House gets. Senate still "safe" although I think the GOP will act to piss away a few seats on purpose to make the margins even thinner.
Any sniff of a surrender on deportations and enforcement will be nuclear.
Is what it is.

I am thinking lately if all fraud never happened the budget wouldn't be in the red
