Wednesday Night ONT - March 18, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for very random mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety. Did I mention the shenanigans were random? They are indeed random.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Leave Tucker, Megyn, Candace and anyone similar to threads elsewhere. Your reward is an open bar with as much virtual alcohol as JQ can serve.

This is Bethan's Rock. Who is Bethan and why does Bethan have a Rock? Glad you asked.

Bethan's Rock is on display at Poole Museum which is a maritime museum, art gallery and cultural center located in Poole, Dorset in the southwest of England. A main focus is a preserved 13th-century shipwreck known as the Mortar Wreck which is presented alongside various artifacts the vessel was carrying when it sank. The museum also features a 2,000-year-old Poole Logboat which is an Iron Age vessel found in 1964 during dredging work in Poole Harbor.

Per Atlas Obscura:

In the summer of 2019, a young girl by the name of Bethan was visiting Poole Museum with her mom. While exploring all the site had to offer, she and her mother began to discuss what museums do and why. Inspired by her visit, Bethan felt eager to support the museum's collection. She decided to donate her most precious treasure, something that she felt was appropriately significant and valuable: her favorite rock. Curators placed Bethan's Rock in a glass cabinet, just like many of the museum's other valuable artifacts, where visitors are now able to appreciate the piece as much as Bethan once did.

The rock donated by five year old Bethan became a social media phenomenon in 2021 after showing up on a Reddit post. If you're ever in Poole, stop by and have a look. Admission to the museum is free (but I doubt they're taking more rock donations).

Random music trivia:

Look at this gent playing keyboards in the video for "Video Killed the Radio Star" in 1981. It was the first music video aired on MTV. The band's name is The Buggles.

Oddly, he was not a member of the band, did not play on the actual studio recording of the song, and reportedly did not write the song or contribute musically to the track's composition or production.

At the time of the video, the band itself only had two members - Geoff Downes and Trevor Horn (a third, Bruce Wooley, was involved when the song was written but was not with the band at the time of the video). Horn handled vocals, bass and guitar and Downes played keyboards. But the guy playing keyboards in the frame above wasn't Geoff. It was a cameo by a keyboard player that Horn knew and worked with in London in the late 1970s.

Who was the guy? Hans Zimmer. You might have heard of him. He went on to compose soundtracks to many movies, including like The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Crimson Tide, Gladiator, Batman, the Dark Knight, Inception, The Last Samurai, No Time to Die, Dune, Rush (the racing movie, not the Canadian trio), Top Gun:Maverick and more. What's your favorite Zimmer score?

My apologies if this has appeared on the ONT previously but I can't recall. If this is a repeat, pretend to forget and enjoy anew. Apparently the US National Institute for Standards and Technology sells standard material samples on its website. You can shop online for...

Forty grams of domestic sludge costs $758.

Three jars of standard peanut butter costs $1246.

Five vials of Organic Contaminants in Smokers' Urine (Frozen) costs $1854. (For the record, frozen organic contaminants in non-smokers is the same price.)

Four 70 gram jars of baby food composite costs $1246.

So many questions...

Intentionally crashing locomotives used to be an attraction in the late 1800s. Must have made an almighty sound. Amazingly, someone put together a three part series with the full history. Lots of old photos and maps.

In case you missed it among all the St. Patrick's Day festivities, March 17 also marks the date of the launch of Vanguard 1 in 1958. It was the first satellite with solar panel and remains the oldest artificial object still in orbit around the Earth. Communications were lost in 1964. To give you a sense of size, Nikita Khrushchev nicknamed it the "grapefruit" satellite. Sputnik 1, Sputnik 2, and Explorer 1 were launched before but none are still in orbit.

Goldfish drives custom-built car a record distance in one minute

A Netherlands engineer built a car for his pet goldfish, Blub, who drove the vehicle a distance of 40 feet in one minute to break a world record.
Thomas de Wolf constructed a four-wheeled vehicle with a water tank for a driver's seat. The vehicle is steered by analyzing the movements of the goldfish inside the tank.

Reminds me of one of my favorite pieces of fine literature.

ONT Legal Docket

The home of rapper Afroman was raided by Adams County deputies in 2022 when they served a search warrant looking for drugs. They found no drugs and brought no charges. They took $4000 in cash and eventually returned $3600 (there is a dispute about the amount involved). They also damaged the home and refused to pay for the repairs.

Afroman was not amused and put out a song and video titled "Lemon Pound Cake."

The video was ostensibly to earn money to pay for the damage. It took issue with the officers involved and used his own security footage. Video footage showed police ramming down his door, searching his wardrobe, opening CD cases, and at one point briefly glancing at a lemon pound cake on his counter. Thus the name of the song...

Seven officers sued him over the video on defamation grounds. Afroman attended depositions and trial adorned in an American flag outfit.

This afternoon the jury returned a verdict in favor of Afroman on all counts.

The unfortunate loser in all of this? The Adams County police department in Colorado received a deluge of unhappy emails and social media messages in support of Afroman. The problem is that the whole thing took place in Adams County, Ohio.

The Adams County Sheriff's Office has received a flood of social media comments, DMs, and phone calls about the #Afroman defamation trial. It�s clear this is important to a lot of people. There's just one small issue: that's the ACSO in Ohio. We are the ACSO in #Colorado.� pic.twitter.com/MJWtu96YbR

As a warning, use their staff car as an A-10 target. After the range clears, they have to personally return it to fully operational status.

95 Anna Puma, when I was stationed at Edwards, 1980 or so, they test fired an A-10 gun on the ground right across the taxiway from our program. Tightly secured with cables. I think it was a 10 round burst which lifted the aircraft off the ground a couple of inches! I strolled over and got an empty cartridge case. I just looked at it and the markings are not decipherable. But the projectiles didn't explode when they hit the embankment. That was long ago. Thanks for the updated info!

101 People who were around when Sputnick was announced told me it had a very profound effect on the public.
——

The assumption was, the Soviets were not capable of such things. Sputnik weighed 184 pounds. The top scientists in the US thought somebody must have dropped a decimal in the translation. 18.4 pounds was believable, maybe. 184 pounds meant they had heavy lift capability.

One thing it did do, that secretly relieved Eisenhower. The path of Sputnik put it right over the US. Prior to that, there was some legal questions, internationally speaking, about overflights.

Aircraft were right out, considered sovereign airspace or whatever. But, the Soviets couldn’t complain about our satellites overflying the Soviet Union very well, now could they? The precedent had been set.

The Democrats made hell for Eisenhower over this issue, politically speaking. Lyndon Johnson particularly, and later, JFK against Nixon. In those days, it was a contest to brand the other guy as “soft” on communism for electoral purposes.

Posted by: Common Tater at March 18, 2026 10:31 PM (B4klT)

102 BTW, putting the A-10 over Iran is going to complicate the tanker plan. Ugh. We had to slow almost 100 knots and put down flaps if we had much gas onboard. With a couple now out of commission, even more so.

(I could make it work, but it would limit the number of "Hey, I've got extra gas. I'm going to loiter and offload to anyone needing it" scenarios.)

103 Afroman was not amused and put out a song and video titled "Lemon Pound Cake."

The video was ostensibly to earn money to pay for the damage. It took issue with the officers involved and used his own security footage. Video footage showed police ramming down his door, searching his wardrobe, opening CD cases, and at one point briefly glancing at a lemon pound cake on his counter. Thus the name of the song...

Seven officers sued him over the video on defamation grounds.

These cops are gay and retarded, and deserve to be hounded not just out of law enforcement but civil society at large. Also, chicks should not be cops. Especially ones that cry on the stand.

He made the acquaintance of one of the techs, who told him that the original test fire had all the slugs going through the same hole - it was too accurate. They redesigned it to "scatter" the shots out to about a 15" diameter.

160 My favorite thing I've heard about the A-10 was from the Sean Ryan Show, where a former pilot told was describing the function of the cannon. While it carries a lot of ammo, it also burns through it all in something like ten seconds. So they have a specific training mantra to get the timing right, in order to get enough hits on a target, but still leave enough for four or five other targets.

1 Pull trigger

179 My favorite thing I've heard about the A-10 was from the Sean Ryan Show, where a former pilot told was describing the function of the cannon. While it carries a lot of ammo, it also burns through it all in something like ten seconds. So they have a specific training mantra to get the timing right, in order to get enough hits on a target, but still leave enough for four or five other targets.

1 Pull trigger
2 Shout "Die commie, die!"
3 Release trigger
Posted by: Methos

18 seconds, according to Wiki, at 3900 rounds per minute.

They can burn it all in one shot, but it shortens the barrel(s) life too much. Thus the mantra, I suppose.

The rounds are each almost a foot long and weigh a pound-and-a-half.

I'm about to bake.. well actually it's some kind of thin bone-in pork steak, because it was cheaper this time, but whatever. There was too much for one pan the other day, so in doing the remainder today (which is why I don't have the wrapper with the label), there's room for a kielbasa that I keep forgetting to prepare.

And the Brave AI answer was a resounding, "Yes!!" Just poke some holes in the casing so it doesn't burst, maybe brush it with some oil, turn it once, and it doesn't even need to reach a specific temp since it's pre-cooked. Just bake until nicely browned. Nice.

Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit.

The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.
Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar's LNG Gas facility. NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless...

250 One Islamic family's immigration story in the USA. It is easily confused with the classic late 19th century immigration tales of arriving with nothing, working hard, assimilating, and becoming the seed that would flower over the generations, provided you overlook the fraud, theft, sharia law and culture that ended up in the murders of two daughter's husbands and a close friend, an Iranian woman who defied the liberating middle eastern culture. Given the massive fraud in Minnesota, the ROP terrorists attacks, how immigration is working out in England, and the current dust up with Iran it all seems relevant. I take it as learing moment.

It is dense story...keeping the names straight is a chore.

BTW, 190 is as high as you can get without special precautions. Beside the fact that you can't distill above 190 (95% ethanol, 5% water has a lower boiling point than pure ethanol), the pure stuff is hygroscopic. It'll suck water out of the air to get to the 190 point.

262 Nothing humorous to add. The NIST standards are real materials that are used by industry, academia, and governmental labs to assure that instruments and testing procedures are working correctly. All of them have a purpose needed in commerce. Each one of the standards has a certification sheet that relates how each standard is to be used. Without them, the numbers quoted by analysts could not be compared and would there would be complete chaos in the "testing world". NIST gets requests for developing specific standards and does extremely elaborate internal testing to assure each standard. I believe the organization started with weights and measures eons ago. In a previous life, I used the X-ray diffraction standards in my work.

"We typically mix up "freedom" with personal freedom, that is your right to act on individual desires (what philosophers call "negative liberty"). But we typically forget that this "freedom" is largely meaningless if you concretely don't have the material conditions to exercise it."

That's an expensive way to make shellac; you're paying big bucks for the drinking tax. But, the hoops required by the BATF to get an industrial license are probably not worth it.

Almost every frat at school.had their own secret stash of 190, used for spiking punch or whatever. Any ChemE student knew how to get around the BATF inspectors when they ran a batch of ethanol. There were multiple testing taps on the distilling setup, and one inspector. Nobody needs to get into the locked, logged storage room with the multiple 55gal barrels full of the stuff.

311 At some point, if the Iranian regime is truly in free-fall towards termination - the only result that is not just kicking the can, although it's a very robust kick to be sure - they'll almost certainly go after the softest/most valuable targets, energy infrastructure. Of course. The obvious Samson move.

The implication that somehow this conflict can be kept within artificial bounds, where certain things are off-limits, is delusional, and dangerous.

Trump's second post on the Pars gas field thing, while characteristically a bit odd, is at least much better than the one earlier today. In that he said the Israeli strike *was* known/OK to the US (a separate head-scratcher here), but the concerning bit was where he said he thought Iran had gotten the "message" - and that more such attacks would follow if they didn't behave. I felt transported to the late 60s (minus the gas prices).

We don't need to be engaged in regime change, or controlling the flow of commerce as long as we have our own resources.

Let the EU and NATO and the UN and our middle eastern partners handle their own shit.

Well the thing is you have to avoid wood alcohol because it can attack your optic nerves and make you blind. Your fingers can get into it when you french polish, so everclear is the way to fly. It works better too while polishing. You get a faster buildup because its not as strong as denatured alcohol, or so it seems anyway, so you don't have the alcohol attacking the layer you just applied. Yeah it costs more, but you have that bottle of everclear for a fairly long time. You only need 8oz to make a good size batch thats lasts awhile.

Like most "organic" products, a completely false assertion. There is no way that 200 proof - that's 100%, no water - alcohol can be produced by distillation. IIRC, from my PhD Chemist cow-orker, it requires some fancy reverse osmosis procedure done under a pure dry nitrogen gas atmosphere and sealed in glass.
So, it's probably 190 proof. I'm sure that the.price varies by state because different state tax rates, but, even so, that's one hell of a bargain. If I owned a bar, I'd be buying this for use in all those flaming drinks. The last time I bought 190, I paid about $30 a pint, and I'm sure it hasn't gone down since then.

One of the churches in Three Hills, Alberta, not far from where I live, has church bells that sound the hours. I don't mind that; at least it is nominally useful. Stanley Park, in Vancouver, B.C. had the Nine O'Clock Gun, a cannon that fired each evening at nine P.M., originally intended as a signal to cease fishing for the evening. Somebody loaded a rock in it once, and it holed the "ESSO" sign on a fuel barge in the harbor. I'm sure it's been discontinued, now.

Shelter dogs looking for a home

In a world of Other Two Dogs, be First Dog.

Dog has a friend over.

The Infiltrator. If this is real, it's a good way to get kicked to death. Animals get spooky when they're confronted with the uncanny valley.

Dogs are innately protectors. Even "coolers," like in Roadhouse.

They also protect the oceans from pollution.

And dogs are naturally romantic.

They can be a little dramatic sometimes, if I'm being honest.

70 50 I'm getting an Apple MacBook this weekend. The Neo is getting harder to find. Its available but you have to wait a week, (Amazon & Apple Store). Sky is readily available though, but I haven't really decided yet. Leaning towards Sky right now. I don't need another laptop, I just want a Mac. Never owned one and I have the cash to get one. That can change.
Posted by: Puddleglum at work at March

Everything I own is Apple, here and running my business. I have 2 iMacs at the store, a MacBook Pro, Ry uses a MacBook Air and her iPad for school. I have the new iPad Air, you can do as much on it as you can the NEO, which does looks like an awesome little entry laptop. We can say what we want about them being commies or whatever, but the seamlessness between everything, to include my phones / watch is awesome. I am no IT person, so the fact I can set all this up speaks to its usability.

107 Why would Democrats care about boinking 13 year olds?

Practically or de facto a major plank in the party platform.

What would really invoke the ire of “progressives” would be that Mr. Chavez and his oft-repeated attacks on illegal aliens and migration.

In those days, Unions were staunch protectionist, acknowledging the plain fact that labor is subject to supply and demand the same as anything else.

Wages have been stagnant since 1974, which is truly remarkable. I remember an interview with AFL-CIO leader Dick Trumpka shortly before he died. He said he had absolutely no problem with millions of illegal aliens in the labor pool.

You have to concede a grudging admiration for decades of hollowing out our institutions, the Long March. It is truly something to behold. Government, Churches, corporations, Academia, you name it.

None of this would have been remotely possible without a phony baloney “reserve currency” confetti-buck money laundering operation. The Fed Buck Cannon will thwart any legislation, popular sentiment, simply by paying off the right people. The AFL-CIO leaders were some of those people.

I have just spoken with the Emir of Qatar and President Trump following the strikes that hit gas production facilities in Iran and Qatar today.

It is in our common interest to implement, without delay, a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, particularly energy and water supply facilities. Civilian populations and their essential needs, as well as the security of energy supplies, must be protected from military escalation.

The US has been avoiding these targets. Iran hasn't. So from France, no ships, no planes, just a simpering proposal for a moratorium that the disconnected remnants of Iraqi chain of command will ignore. Macron should have stayed home and shut the doors and windows. Maybe his wife was beating on him again and he ran out to play at diplomacy to get away.

212 the plot thickens!

"Former director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) Joe Kent is reportedly being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for “allegedly leaking classified information.”

Shelby Talcott, a White House Correspondent for Semafor, reported that according to “three sources,” Kent, who resigned from his position on Tuesday, is being investigated by the FBI. The alleged investigation “pre-dates his departure.”

In another post, Talcott said, “a fourth source” also confirmed this."

He was leaking. I believe Bannon is involved. 2 month ago Bannon had a "leakee" who divulged that the US and Israel are "going to do something" vis-a-vis Iran. At the time when nothing was concrete and Witkoff was shuttling back and forth. Bannon created a "media company" so he could hide his nefarious activities under the guise of "journalism".

Quick Hits

Remember the days when two Republicans led the jungle primary for California governor, meaning, if that survey support translates to actual votes, the only two people competing in the election would be those two Republicans? No Democrats allowed? No "Independent Socialists" running as spoilers?

Well those days are back because the most recent poll shows the two Republicans leading.

Again, this isn't a primary poll -- it's a poll of the so-called "jungle primary" where everyone runs no matter what the party. The top two vote-getters here advance to the general election.

Conservative commentator Steve Hilton had the support of 17% of likely voters and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco had the backing of 16%, according to a poll released Wednesday by UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies and co-sponsored by The Times.

Last time I checked, the Democrat with the most support is noted Chinese Spy Eric Fartwell. I think he had 13%.

Poland has now completely healed from the economic and cultural retardation of Invader Communism and is now wealthier than most European countries.

-- A generation ago, Poland rationed sugar and flour while its citizens were paid one-tenth what West Germans earned. Today its economy has edged past Switzerland to become the world's 20th largest with over $1 trillion in annual output.
It's a historic leap from the post-communist ruins of 1989-90 to today's European growth champion that economists say has lessons on how to bring prosperity to ordinary people -- and that the Trump administration says should be recognized by Poland's presence at a summit of the Group of 20 leading economies later this year.
...
The guest invitation to the G20 summit is mostly symbolic; no guest country has been promoted to full member since the original G20 met at the finance minister level in 1999, and that would take a consensus decision of all the members. Moreover, the original countries were chosen not just by GDP rank, but by their "systemic significance" in the global economy.
But the gesture reflects a statistical truth: In 35 years -- a little less than one person's working lifetime -- Poland's per capita gross domestic product rose to $55,340 in 2025, or 85% of the EU average. That's up from $6,730 in 1990, or 38% of the EU average and now roughly equal to Japan's $52,039, according to International Monetary Fund figures measured in today's dollars and adjusted for Poland's lower cost of living.
Poland's economy has grown an average 3.8% a year since joining the EU in 2004, easily beating the European average of 1.8%.

As someone pointed out on Twitter: They somehow managed to prosper economically without allowing in millions of unvetted, unskilled immigrants. Weird, I thought that was impossible.

Poland is saving money by not having to demolish the statues of its previous heroes just because Hostile Culturally-Aggressive Colonizers demand it.

Meanwhile, in Wales:

Another billionaire has fled California to escape the coming tax on all assets, including unsold stock and property. (Usually we tax things when a dollar value is "realized" -- made real -- through a sale; this new scheme to seize the means of production would require you to estimate what your assets might be worth and pay a tax on them every year. That shouldn't lead to people going to jail; just ask Trump, who got hit with a half-billion dollar civil penalty for over-estimating the value of his assets in a private loan context.)

Billionaire Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick admits strategically moving to Texas before California wealth tax

Kalanick says Dec 18 move to Austin was timed 'prior to January' deadline for proposed billionaire tax
Billionaire and Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick officially joined the exodus from California, revealing he moved to Austin, Texas, just weeks before a proposed wealth tax could have targeted his estimated $3.6 billion fortune.
"Just to be clear, on December 18, I moved to Texas. I don't know what's so specific about December 18, but let's just say it's prior to January," Kalanick said in an interview with TPBN.
"I get a little bit [of] FOMO on like, these people going to Florida. I'm like, dude! Why so much Florida action?" he continued. "Come on, homies."
Kalanick left his San Francisco home for Texas just 14 days before the new year, when the retroactive residency deadline for the proposed billionaire tax would take effect.

While it has not yet qualified for the November ballot, the proposal -- backed by the Service Employees International Union--United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW) -- would impose a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of California residents with more than $1 billion in wealth. The tax would be due in 2027, and taxpayers could spread payments over five years, with additional fees, according to the California Legislative Analyst's Office.
If the measure is approved by voters, anyone who was a California resident on Jan. 1, 2026, would owe the tax, according to the proposal. Based on Forbes' estimates, Kalanick could owe roughly $180 million.

And now you get nothing. Eat it, Commie scum.

You people are such absolute fuck-ups. You'd have to ration sand in a desert.

OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home."
"I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything."
"There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state. And they were captives to our state, they were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case.

LOL, the woman who locked everyone inside their homes for two years thinks she's a "nice governor" and that people should want to live under her evil reign of malicious incompetence.

Rand Paul is a sniveling little narcissist, grilling DHS Secretary nominee Markwayne Mullin on the... mean things he said about Rand Paul.

Are you kidding me, you ridiculous tiny Napoleon-complexed manlet?

Now Paul is on the edge of having a point here, as he claims that Markwayne Mullin voted to not stop welfare programs for refugees.

But he moves off that point to whine about Mullin having said that he understood why Paul's liberal neighbor beat up the annoying, self-righteous Libertarian Leprechaun.

"Instead of explaining your vote to continue these welfare programs for refugees, you decide to transfer the blame. You told the media that I was a 'freaking snake' and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted," Paul said in his opening remarks. "I was shocked it would justify and celebrate this violent assault that caused me so much pain and my family so much pain."
He added, "I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force."
You chose to lash out at me. You went on to brag that you'd already told me to my face that you completely understood and approved of the assault. Well, that's a lie. You got a chance today. You can either continue to lie, or you can correct the record," Paul continued. "You have never had the courage to look me in the eye and tell me that the assault was justified, so today you'll have your chance. Today, I'll give you that chance to clear the record. Tell it to my face, if that's what you believe. Tell it to me today. Tell the world why you believe I deserve to be assaulted from behind. Have six ribs broken and a damaged lung. Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it."

You simpering little fairy. Now I want to beat the shit out of you, too.

This is a grown man whining not about being beaten up ten years ago, but whining that another man wasn't sufficiently sorrowful that he'd gotten beaten up. He's like the pussy still whining in tenth grade that in third grade he'd gotten a wedgie.

Maybe it's time for another wedgie.

Note Paul does not demand he answer as to why he cast the vote he did. No, it's all about appeasing the light-loafered malignant dwarf's feelings.

And he's doing the fake tough-guy thing of saying "tell it to my face" in a building with 100 people present including security and tv cameras.

Why don't you try the "tell it to my face" act alone, outside, in a private little spot?

You ridiculous little bitch!

34 New York Gov Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy people who have moved to Florida and Texas to come back to New York and pay taxes. 🤣

"I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home."

This is a quick primer on why Tommy's had to force everyone to do stuff at gunpoint.

Sinners

Frankenstein

Weapons
Hamnet
Bugonia
Thunderbolts
Mission Impossible

I haven't seen F1 yet because I don't have apple.

Superman was bad. I turned it off after ten minutes.

Mission Impossible was a shockingly incompetent bore.

Weapons was surprisingly good. Almost like a real movie.

The rest... no interest.

125 Oh funny thing with Thunderbolts...I was watching is on a plane trip and since the plot was boring - a bunch of characters talking about other characters I didn't care about - I fast forwarded to see the fight scenes.

There was one ok-ish fight scene. In the whole "superhero" movie.

The reveal is that the hero has, uh, depression? And so when he becomes a supervillain you have to talk him out of it? That's...a terrible terrible idea.

126 "I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home."
_________________________

I can't believe this is an actual quote. Paying exhorbinant taxes is "patriotic", and not hiding the fact that she needs those taxes to provide "GENEROUS social programs"?

IT IS NOT THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT TO BE GENEROUS....regardless of how you define the term.

I'm not even convinced that it is the role of government to provide social programs in any fashion. And, even if it were a facet of government, is would not be GENEROUS. It would be in the form of assistance. And, I have a problem with that capacity as well.

133 >>>The reveal is that the hero has, uh, depression? And so when he becomes a supervillain you have to talk him out of it? That's...a terrible terrible idea.

It reminds me of a kind of horror movie I hate, and I can tell it's going to be *that kind* of horror movie halfway through. It's when there's a supernatural force of enormous power and the movie has spent no time establishing lore about how to defeat it.

That means, every single time, the supernatural force of enormous power will be defeated by "holding hands and remembering how much we love each other." Or other gay means of Emotional Battery. As seen in It, for example.

Sentry, being an ultra-superpowered enemy, must of course be defeated by holding hands with him and thinking about the friends we made along the way.

California Bridge to Nowhere Remains Unfinished, Now Costs $114 Million

Every time I see a dead critter by the highway I wonder: Why can't we build gently-sloping pedestrian bridges, topped with grass and bushes, for wildlife to cross over safely? It's not just good for them; people crash their cars due to deer all the time.

Well, a government filled with left-wing fuck-up grifters is why.

In 2022, California Gov. Gavin Newsom broke ground on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing (WAWC), a project featuring an overpass for animals atop ten lanes of the 101 Freeway in Southern California.
At the ceremony, Newsom boasted that the state had committed $54 million. He promised to "complete the job within another $10 million," before seeming to hedge on whether that final sum would do the trick.
Officials projected a 2025 completion date for the overpass, and estimated that the entire project -- which includes the bridge and other ancillary developments -- would cost $92 million, some of it coming from private philanthropists.
...
Pratt, a cougar-sweater-wearing environmental activist who serves on WAWC's Partner Leadership Team, is the program's public face. She is also a regional executive director of the national Wildlife Federation. In 2021, the group received a $25 million grant from "Wallis Annenberg and the Annenberg Foundation" for the bridge that bears the late philanthropist's name.
That money apparently was not enough. This past January, donning a hard hat and a "#SAVELACOUGARS" jersey, Pratt announced a possible $21 million overage. She effectively blamed President Trump, attributing the multimillion-dollar overrun to "tariffs, inflation, [and] labor problems."
"There's no boondoggle," she said. "Given the times we're living in," a potential $21 million overage is "not that bad."

Over $100 million for a bridge which only needs to bear the weight of, checks notes, skunks and the occasional herd of deer. Oh, and six inches of dirt, maybe.

This is not an overpass for vehicles. It does not need to bear the weight of multiton trucks driving at 75mph. The engineering needed here is pretty forgiving.

But still, they can't finish it for less than $114 million.

And if you think that will be the final bill, I've got a Butterfly Bridge to sell you.

(Yes, the bridge must also serve as a path for butterflies. Think of the additional engineering requirements to bear the weight of several dozen butterflies.)

How can you degenerates literally be bad at everything?

Here's how: They're all taking a piece.

...
Why has a project primarily consisting of a bridge for animals cost over $100 million? One reason is that Newsom and WAWC's philanthropic supporters apparently don't mind it becoming a patronage program.As the WAWC-endorsing Wildlife Crossing Fund notes, citing the California Department of Transportation's estimate, "for every $1 billion spent" on wildlife crossings, "13,000 jobs are created."
A group of experts apparently adds to the operation's expense. A fungi whiz, Pratt says, worked as a WAWC habitat designer, periodically scrutinizing root samples under a microscope. A contracted soil scientist said his process involves assessing local dirt to "rebuild it ... as close to nature as possible."

1, that's a scam, 2, you build a slope, a bridge, put some dirt on it, and it's done. It's close enough to nature. We just want animals crossing here, not attempting to build animal cities.

By the way: I think any path covered in dirt would be "closer to nature" than the highway it spans, no?

...
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Newsom envisioned WAWC as a catalyst for the construction of wildlife crossings across the state. California, he boasted, set aside $105 million "to replicate projects like this all up and down the state." Pratt reportedly thinks "hundreds more crossings are needed."

Here's the thing: their own incompetence and greed keeps them from accomplishing any of the things they claim to want to accomplish. If they'd built this... bike path with dirt for something reasonable like $15 million, then yeah, this would serve as a model for building additional bridges.

But at a cost of $114 million and climbing for one incomplete bridge? No. You have once again fucked everything up for everyone, including the animals.

But you'll all still get paid, right? That's the important thing.

39 "It’s not like they are gonna follow signs to a bridge."

Animals are lazy, just like leftists, and do eventually figure out that bridges make crossing streams a lot easier. I've seen bears, bison and down south, Australian possums use bridges instead of getting their little toes wet.

62 I see a lot of critter bridges in my travels in the Rocky Mountain West. They are far more modest by comparison, and in addition to the bridge itself, there is a system of high fences to further coax the critters to the bridge. They are always over high traffic roads where known migration routes exist. Does not eliminate roadkill, but I believe it certainly cuts it down pretty effectively. And the fences even have ramps that allow the critter out, but not in. Do not underestimate the derpiness of a mule deer.

Within reasonable geographic distances, yes. But we’re talking about a huge highway and one bridge.

Some predators are smarter and might figure it out, although with predators on the bridge the prey animals will avoid it like the plague. Which will be a huge problem: if the paths become a game trail — which they will, because predators are smart — then the prey animals will avoid the path and cross into traffic.

So yes, I agree with you in theory, but I think in practice even a fully functions bridge — untainted by the smelly slimy taint of CA commie smegma — won’t save wildlife in any meaningful numbers.

119 The first real "wildlife bridge" was in NJ, Down by Newark. Or Elizabeth.

It was a hangover from the effort to end the interstate highway program. It may not have been Newark, maybe Secaucus -- some smelly city SW on NYC. Can you imagine what kind of wildlife we are talking about there?

The bridge was completed in the 80s. That meant they could finish the highway below, which was thwarted from crossing some refuge for rats and hobos.

So there was an attack, parry, counterthrust, ... going on. Left said "Sorry, can't build there!" and finally the sane people said "OK, we make bridge for your fucking rats."

Now CA says "Fine, make a bridge, but first you will blow me (and pay me $100 million dollars.")

127 I'm familiar with that area. Just up the road from this bridge is the Liberty Canyon underpass which is a known pathway for wildlife to cross. Which leads them into an open space. So there was really no need for this boondoggle. Also, just up the road from me are deer jumping ramps along the 101 in Santa Margarita. The ramps are just giant piles of dirt to the height of the fences along the 101 so that if deer come onto the highway, they can go up the dirt ramps to get over the fence.

From a commenter on the story in the NYP:
-------------------------------
It is well documented that the mountain lions used the Liberty Canyon underpass along with many other animals. Mountain lions & their tracks have been observed at the Calabasas landfill property for decades. Liberty Canyon leads directly to the edge of the landfill & into the Chesebro open space. Mountain lions do not need a $100mil bridge.

Now it is a gay party drug called "poppers," but it was apparently a rock & roll thing back in the day. Well, they said "amyl nitrate" at the time, but now Brave AI says that it is "unsafe" for human consumption and should absolutely not be confused with the recreational drug "amyl nitrite," so what am I to believe? Maybe they meant what they said, and they were in fact doing the "harmful" one they said they were doing.

See for example Anita Pallenberg, who introduced the Rolling Stones to amyl nitrate in 1965, and Richard "Didymus" Washington, who played marimbas on "Sweet Black Angel" but was originally listed as Amyl Nitrate in the credits of their 1972 album Exile on Main St.

Hell, ever see a guinea hen (quite possibly the dumbest animals on the planet)....they'll stand in the middle of the road trying to see if the car that's about to flatten them is a Ford or a Chevy.

This is a common misunderstanding. Prey species often have eyes built for defense - they have limited stereo vision and so it is not centered in the eye. That means it has poor resolution. For best resolution, they look with one eye off to side, that is why birds often look at you sideways to see if you are a threat. Problem is that fast moving things only seem to slowly get larger and they do not do well at detecting motion.

If you have good stereo vision, with eyes close together pointing in same direction, you can see the item and see it moving. The tradeoff is limited field of view. Pheasants, deer, etc. will stand in road and stare at oncoming vehicle with one eye. They think standing still makes them harder to see, and while staring to see if it moves, they can not detect it moving straight in. It's not stupidity, it is eyes poorly suited to the threat

206 Also, the bridge was built specifically for mountain lions. Note that it's been documented that there are only a couple dozen mountain lions living in that area.

From a commenter on the story in the NYP:
-------------------------------
It is well documented that the mountain lions used the Liberty Canyon underpass along with many other animals. Mountain lions & their tracks have been observed at the Calabasas landfill property for decades. Liberty Canyon leads directly to the edge of the landfill & into the Chesebro open space. Mountain lions do not need a $100mil bridge.

Lions need a huge territory. The young ones get driven out or killed by the older males. That area is already overpopulated, truthfully they shouldn't be there. There is not enough space for them, California is retarded. As a state Cal has way too many lions, they are constantly in the news eating someone or their pets.

212 The ones in banff are every mile or so I think. There are also really tall fences on the side of the highway to keep the critters from getting on the highway. There are a ton of elk and deer bears you name it around there. From a safety standpoint t it is a good idea, that must prevent a lot of car vs animal collisions.

Think the highway is a bit cut into the hill already, and they probably thought digging under was not going to work well. The one uncomplete side there looks like not a lot of room for a gentle slope. But the hills are very steep anyway in the area.

Clinton was compelling and lived his entire life to promote the lie. Newsome has been given a free lift his entire life and lies like Keanu Reeves playing Hamlet.

228 Its a boondoggle. Colorado, hardly a bastion of great financial stewardship buit an overpass over I-25 for 15 million.

from google AI. "The $15 million I-25 Greenland Wildlife Overpass in Douglas County, Colorado, completed in December 2025, is North America's largest wildlife overpass. Located near Larkspur between Castle Rock and Monument, this 209-by-200-foot bridge connects 39,000 acres of habitat across a busy interstate. It aims to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by 90% and aids elk, pronghorn, bear, and deer migration.

I think that one cost extra after the fact because Polis didn't correctly purchase the private land for it, so a landowner sued and got some sum for their property that was used. But saying they can't build a wildlife overpass for only 100+ million is bullshit

We used to pull guard duty at the post ammo storage dump in Alaska. The moose had been moved out and 12-15 foot chainlink fences surrounded the mountain, with the closed and 24/7 guarded gate being the only access. The moose still got in, probably by jumping the fence.

Shock! Left-Wing "Civil Rights" Icon and Democrat Hero Cesar Chavez Was a Child Molester and Rapist

Of course. Of course.

The evidence was staring us in the face:

He died 33 years ago -- in 1993 -- so the Pravda Media is now dusting off the archives and reporting what they knew decades ago but suppressed until it was safe to do so.

John Sexton, who quotes the Soviet Archivist NYT:

As predicted yesterday, the story about Cesar Chavez sexually abusing young girls was published today by the NY Times. The paper spoke to multiple women including one who claims she was abused repeatedly when Chavez was 45 and she was 13-years-old.

Ana Murguia remembers the day the man she had regarded as a hero called her house and summoned her to see him. She walked along a dirt trail, entered the rundown building, passed his secretary and stepped into his office.
He locked the door, as he always did when he called her, and told her how lonely he had been. He brought her onto the yoga mat that he often used in his office for meditation, kissed her and pulled her pants down. "Don't tell anyone," he told her afterward. "They'd get jealous."
The man, Cesar Chavez, one of the most revered figures in the Latino civil rights movement, was 45. She was 13. Ms. Murguia said she was summoned for sexual encounters with him dozens of times over the next four years.
Recently, more than 50 years later, Ms. Murguia learned that a street near her home in the Central California city of Bakersfield was in the process of being renamed. City officials want to name it in honor of her abuser.
A second woman described similar abuse which began when she was 12-years-old.

Ms. Rojas said she was 12 when Mr. Chavez first touched her inappropriately, groping her breasts in the same office where he'd meet with Ms. Murguia. When Ms. Rojas was 15, he arranged to have her stay at a motel during a weekslong march through California, she said, and had sexual intercourse with her -- rape, under state law, because she was not old enough to consent.

And he didn't just sexually abuse and rape children, he also abused his adult female staffers and partners. See the link for that.

Sexton notes that "allegations and rumors" about this sex predator have swirled for years, but gosh darn it, the story just wasn't ready until 33 years after he died without any apologies or reckoning.

When I became President, I proudly placed a bust of C�sar Ch�vez in the Oval to serve as a reminder of the values he embodied, the vision of freedom he fought for, and his commitment to justice and dignity that we must uphold each and every day.

The rumors that a major piece was coming were swirling since yesterday. Joel Pollack guessed, correctly, that given they were pre-canceling Chavez without any debate, the story must be "Epstein-level bad."

It's worse, actually. Epstein did not rape a 12 year old.

JOEL! That�s it! I was wondering why this stuff was coming up more than 20 years after Chavez died and you have hit on it: EPSTEIN! All the talk about the Epstein scandal stirred this up! https://t.co/IJYzcA7Nz3

Update:

In California there are 7 streets, avenues, boulevards, and parkways named after C�sar Ch�vez. There a 7 parks and plazas, 42 schools, and 5 monuments.

39 Honestly this does not surprise me.

As activist heroes go, Chavez is not a bad one. He opposed illegal immigration, and was less nutso leftist than most.

But yeah, not a shock. Partly male feminists are almost all scuzzy predators, but partly the guy was around 50 years go, and it wasn't quite as horrible and shunned back then. We've talked about the music from back then quite a bit.

Movies were pretty open about February-September romances. Brooke Shields was naked as a bee in Playboy like age 10. Rock Stars were having threesomes with Junior High girls.

98 Amyl nitrate, aka Locker Room & Rush

Alkyl nitrites are both inhalants and vasodilators.1 Breathing the vapours widens the blood vessels in the body, relaxing muscles and lowering blood pressure.1

They have effects similar to both stimulants (increased heart rate) and depressants (low blood pressure, slowed breathing), but don’t belong to either drug class.1

There was a guy from downstate Michigan enrolled at college in the mid-70s who was in solid with the United Farm Workers -- had the garb, the buttons, the patter -- all of it down pat. We nicknamed him "Gunzie" (as a mockery of "Gonzales").

He carried around a bottle of hot sauce / salsa that he put on practically everything that was served in the cafeteria. No doubt he swooned when Shrillary revealed that she was a fellow traveler along that gustatory path.

Trump really needs to rename that ship as USS Oliver Sipple, a true American Hero, Vietnam War USMC combat vet who also happened to be gay. Saved President Ford's life when Sara Jane Moore tried to assassinate Ford, beating the Secret Service to the punch. Milk outed him as gay to columnist Herb Caen without Sipple's permission because Milk wanted a gay hero, to counter the public perception of gay men as pedophiles. This, despite the fact that Sipple was a personal friend.

The affair ruined Sipple's life and Sipple died destitute before the age of 50.

Milk was an unrepentant piece of shit.

I think that Chavez being anti-illegal-immigrant, on behalf of unionized field workers who were US citizens, has made him a problematic figure for the Left for a long time. Makes it easier to flush him now.

I read a long time ago that Chavez liked his bling. Expensive watches and so on. Maybe the people relating the bling stories had heard about his other hobby, but felt that alluding to his greed and vanity was as much as they could say at that time.

One time I asked a Chicano cartoonist/activist by e-mail about Chavez not liking illegals. (Chavez was long gone, the activist guy was celebrating Chavez week or something with his comic.) He responded that he was personal friends with Chavez's surviving family. Notably, he did not address what I'd asked him about.

Posted by: banana Dream - sounds pretty gay at March 18, 2026 04:59 PM (z7/Fg)

Now it is a gay party drug called "poppers," but it was apparently a rock & roll thing back in the day. Well, they said "amyl nitrate" at the time, but now Brave AI says that it is "unsafe" for human consumption and should absolutely not be confused with the recreational drug "amyl nitrite," so what am I to believe? Maybe they meant what they said, and they were in fact doing the "harmful" one they said they were doing.

See for example Anita Pallenberg, who introduced the Rolling Stones to amyl nitrate in 1965, and Richard "Didymus" Washington, who played marimbas on "Sweet Black Angel" but was originally listed as Amyl Nitrate in the credits of their 1972 album Exile on Main St.

Just the News: US Intelligence Officials Hid Evidence That China Interfered in the 2020 Presidential Election on Biden's Behalf

They hid this evidence from the Commander in Chief and President, Donald John Trump.

Are we at treason yet?

Jerry Dunleavy:

US Intel hid Chinese 2020 election meddling from Trump because they opposed his policies, memo says
Dr. Barry A. Zulauf, a member of the Senior National Intelligence Service reported that others in the intelligence community said "I don't want my intelligence going to the White House where it will be used by that vulgarian in the Oval Office to support policies against China with which I personally disagree."

Analysts inside the U.S. intelligence community sought to conceal evidence of Chinese influence efforts from President Donald Trump during the 2020 election, with analysts saying they didn't want their intel used by "that vulgarian in the Oval Office" to pursue policies toward China they personally disagreed with.
The revelation is found within a January 2021 report written by -- and never before reported upon comments by -- analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf, who conducted a review of the spy community's handling of Russian versus Chinese meddling efforts during the 2020 election. Among his conclusions was that intelligence analysts downplayed China's actions because they had disdain for the "vulgarian" Trump and did not want to support the policies and priorities of the Trump administration toward China with which they "personally disagree."
Just the News reported this week that the U.S. intelligence community has known since early 2020 that Beijing also gained access to American voter registration data and used that information to conduct opinion analysis related to the presidential election between Trump and then-former Vice President Joe Biden.
This is not the only piece of evidence pointing to Chinese government election influence efforts in the 2020 election. Although much about China's activities in 2020 remains classified, Just the News conducted a thorough review of publicly-available intelligence assessments, federal indictments, foreign government warnings, and cybersecurity firm analyses.
There is credible evidence that Chinese government-linked cyber hackers and Chinese social media troll farms took aim at the U.S. presidential election in 2020 and sought to undercut Trump during his run against now-former President Biden. There are also indicators that Chinese intelligence and law enforcement agencies -- China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) and its Ministry of Public Security (MPS) -- also played a role in 2020.

He found that actions taken by Russia would be claimed by analysts to be election interference, while the exact same actions taken by China would be ruled as no interference at all -- all depending on the political narratives favored by highly partisan "intelligence analysts."

He doesn't say that last part, but it's implicit.

Zulauf -- a longtime intelligence officer -- wrote in his January 2021 report: "Given analytic differences in the way Russia and China analysts examined their targets, China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference. These analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tended to disagree with the Administration's policies, saying in effect, I don't want our intelligence used to support those policies."
U.S. intel analysts downplayed China assessments to avoid helping Trump
...
"Dr. Zulauf went on to point out the various errors in this way of thinking -- intelligence belongs to the community, not a single analyst, and further, while analysts are entitled to like or dislike particular leaders, they are not entitled to allow that to alter the intelligence products that they put forward," the journal article said.
The review by Zulauf also found that allegations of Russian meddling and Chinese meddling were being measured based on differing standards, meaning Russia may have taken actions that were determined to be influence or interference efforts while, if and when China took the same or similar actions, those Chinese actions likely would not have been determined to be influence or interference efforts.
"Due to varying collection and insight into hostile state actors' leadership intentions and domestic election influence campaigns, the definitional use of the terms 'influence' and 'interference' and associated confidence levels are applied differently by the China and Russia analytic communities," Zulauf wrote in his report.
The ombudsman found that "the terms were applied inconsistently across the analytic community" and that "failing to explain properly these definitions is inconsistent with Tradecraft Standards."

Oh, and out treasonous Deep State also hid information that Ukraine was using US taxpayer dollars to rig the election in Biden's favor.

HUGE: U.S. intelligence reports show that not only China was helping Joe Biden steal the 2020 election, but new intel shows that Ukraine was also helping Biden steal the 2020 election using the BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars that we sent over there from hard working Americans.� pic.twitter.com/vZW870UGH2

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at March 18, 2026 03:48 PM (hAotW)

I will have to think about that.

It seems like in a functioning market, the actors with money to invest would set a floor as to what interest rate they're willing to invest at, and if the Fed offer was too low, they'd just not purchase the bonds.

So I assumed that they lowered rates by buying oustanding bonds (more demand increase current price of the bond which lowers the calculated rate), with money printed from the ether. Which would cause inflation.

Maybe folks with money for treasuries are desperate to get *any* interest and will take whatever is offered? That does seem good, though.

203 This is damning in itself, but it doesn't even touch on Biden's personal business dealings (and Mitch McConnell's for that matter) with China.

There is quid pro quo involved on a disturbingly obscene level. The only reason China felt comfortable enough to pursue this is because they were likely encouraged and given immunity from consequences.

Let's take a closer look at 2024. The same is likely true (and probably more blatant and egregious), only Trump had such massive support because he was running against a retard.

213 203 Let's take a closer look at 2024. The same is likely true (and probably more blatant and egregious), only Trump had such massive support because he was running against a retard.

Posted by: Orson at March 18, 2026 04:15 PM (dIske)

=======

The main difference between 2020 and 2024 was who was running the RNC.

In 2020, it was Ronna McDaniel who spent more on flowers than on lawyers to fight the cheat.

In 2024, it was Michael Whatley (candidate for Senate in NC this year) and Lara Trump, who concentrated on fighting fraud in swing states early. They stopped Philly from shutting down counting at about 10pm election night. Literally, Philly was going to redo 2020 in 2024, and the RNC stopped it with actual lawyers on the ground that the RNC had been promising for decades.

And that was without the SAVE act.

236 Yes, and senate republicans, and apparently some House members, want to concede on mail in voting without any guardrails.

I think when you see the biggest amount of mail in ballots coming from cities like LA or NYC, it’s a little different than rural Montana or Alaska. This is apparently lost on GOP members who can’t find a way to ban ballot harvesting, and the rampant mail in ballot fraud by mailing ballots on request.

I mean, it’s supposed to be a secret ballot- right? Meanwhile Democrats are scoring nursing homes and care facilities for the mentally ill and filling it out for them.

But Republicans are just ducky with that.

I can recognize all that and still see that he's not only good at what he does, but the best thing America has seen for decades, and is doing what nearly everyone has always said "why the hell don't they---"

has obtained a photo of Michigan synagogue attacker Ayman Mohamad Ghazali that he sent to his sister in Lebanon the day of the attack. Fox is told the rifle he is holding in the photo is the same one he brought to the attack. There was Arabic writing on the photo referencing martyrdom and vengeance that we have redacted in order to not amplify the message.

Ghazali was born in Lebanon and first entered the U.S. legally in 2011 before being naturalized into a U.S. citizen in 2016. The IDF says one of Ghazali’s brothers was a Hezbollah rocket commander who was killed in a recent Israeli air strike in Lebanon.

I think they are trying to reincarnate Antifa with No Kings. Rehabilitate it, basically. They used to be Black Block but everyone hated those guys. So they became Antifa because how can anyone oppose fighting fascists? Except they were acting like oppressive murdering terrorists, so they kind of have faded away.

286 Yes, and senate republicans, and apparently some House members, want to concede on mail in voting without any guardrails.

I think when you see the biggest amount of mail in ballots coming from cities like LA or NYC, it’s a little different than rural Montana or Alaska. This is apparently lost on GOP members who can’t find a way to ban ballot harvesting, and the rampant mail in ballot fraud by mailing ballots on request.

I mean, it’s supposed to be a secret ballot- right? Meanwhile Democrats are scoring nursing homes and care facilities for the mentally ill and filling it out for them.

But Republicans are just ducky with that.

Nope, NGOs tied to people like James Clyburn, Stacey Abrams, etc. furnished the peeps in urban areas. Basically using the old AME church political network.

Same leaders that used to run busses to the polls when it was shut such as Sundays and the leaders were handed out walking around money (aka to provide something for the voters).

New tech is ballot harvesting with mass ballots being shipped and intercepted from places like empty homes, convenience stores, Wal Marts, etc. and volunteers out handing out giftcards right and left for returned ballots in high occupancy areas like apartment complexes paid for by GOTV types like Fakebook.

That is a strong argument for the "its enough to be effectively at war" side. War has to be part of the equation, but how you define it is definitely flexible.

Is this a high approval rating? Because it seems like a high approval rating to me.

There's no break in MAGA. Trump's approval with MAGA GOP is literally 100%.

90% of MAGA GOP approve of US military action in Iran.

Those who disapprove of Trump are not MAGA at this point.

Three sources familiar now confirm to
@FoxNews
that Sen. Paul (R-KY) blocked Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) from introducing Mullin at his hearing.

Statement to FOX via senior Senate GOP source familiar with the situation:

"Rand Paul has become completely blinded by his hatred of President Trump and petty personal squabbles. His actions today were those of a seething snake—and a hopeless hypocrite. What kind of free speech advocate would bar Senator Mullin’s choice to deliver his introduction from speaking? What kind of Republican would bar a fellow Republican Senator from voicing their support of a colleague? Why is this guy allowed to hold a Republican gavel anymore?"

It's also complete bullshit, because Enten himself makes the point that "MAGA makes up the same share of voters as it did when Trump won in 2024."

So we are talking about the same number of MAGA voters as before. Trump is holding them all in a vice-hold of GI Kung-fu Grip awesomeness.

Now, you might say "but what about the non-MAGA voters, such as independents, who nonetheless voted for Trump?" Conceivably, Trump could have lost some of them. But I doubt it.

Plus, nobody is saying he did lose non-MAGA. The whole point of this poll was to test the current NPC drone-meme that it's MAGA -- and specifically MAGA -- that is abandoning Trump over Iran.

The real question is how many people are there in the fan club? Is that number increasing or decreasing? Not the percent who approves.

Fun fact: in some of the early Le Mans races, such as around Signor Bugatti's time, they removed the brakes to go faster. Yes, you read that right: they removed the brakes to go faster.

Brakes at the time were heavy and not effective at slowing the car. They were primitive drum brakes with crappy materials and no power assist. It really wasn't until the 1960s and disc brakes that braking was moved into the modern era.

Good memory!

I probably told you and many others this at the TX MoMe last October: 90% of the people I met and struck up conversations with on the flights -- and in the airport gate waiting areas -- from Phoenix to Dallas and back were employed or otherwise involved in the oil industry.

I often brought up "Landman" -- asking if that show was fairly realistic, and most said Yes. Someone who worked in downtown fort Worth said during shooting they would frequently close down the streets there ... and that although I'd never heard that term before, everybody in the business was familiar with landmen and what they did.

Yea. They used engine braking and just normal scrubbing off speed, rather than wheel brakes. Of course, the cars didn't go that fast back then either.

Even supercars of the 1980s and 90s had tires, brakes, and materials that were primitive dogshit compared to today.

One of my all-time fav cars is the Porsche 959. I had a poster of it on my wall as a kid. The 959 was an 80s hypercar, and way ahead of its time. But by today's standards? It's primitive crap that would be outdriven by a Civic Type R.

Worry about it later. FWIW, midterms are base elections first and it depends on which base is more energized and gets them to the polls than independents.

Plus, voter fraud reduction is on the menu and will cause the ball to bounce strange from previous elections. The key is removing the fake, dead, and illegal voters from the registration database and that is what the DoJ is doing--suing even red states like Georgia that refuse to purge their rolls.

Yeah they still don't really make supercars etc for Americans, just tiny gnome-like Europeans. But back then it was even worse, you have to fold yourself like origami to get into a Countache and it is uncomfortable as hell, you can barely see out of it, and it doesn't drive that well.

283 We are not just fighting Iran.

We are fighting Russia and China.

They have decided to pull out the stops because a win in Iran, that is the end of the mullahs, will be extremely detrimental to their countries.

How do you think Iran continues to hit oil infrastructure in the ME? Why? Do you think they are getting that precise targeting on their own?

Russia and China believe our Achilles heel is to draw this out and keep up oil prices for as long as possible. They believe that’s enough to draw Trump away. Because they know he doesn’t want a protracted battle.

Meanwhile, the Israelis continue to smoke every potential successor. Some believe a few of those targets locations came from other sovereigns. Gee, I wonder why? Why would anyone want to eliminate a potential successor who may be privately advocating for rapprochement with the US?

Countach was a pile of shit that not even Ferruccio Lamborghini liked. It just looked spectacular and turned heads.

In reality, Ferruccio favored supercars that were reliable, easy to drive, comfortable, and modestly styled. But that's not what his customers wanted. Plus, it was impossible to build such a car in the 1960s. They eventually did, but it wasn't Lambo who did it. It was Porsche with the 911 Turbo and Honda with the original NSX.

From an Israeli point of view a protracted civil war among various factions in Iran as there was in Iraq and in Syria probably best suits their security situation.

For us, it would be best to have a new national government in control of the entire nation of Iran that claims to represent the entire population, that forswears theocracy, nuclear weapons and terrorism, and focuses on getting the oil to market.

Not any Italian Lambo, no. It wasn't until Audi bought the company, invested billions in modern quality and construction, and started designing new cars. The current lineup -- Urus, Temerario, and Revuelto -- are all German cars, and very reliable by supercar standards. Certainly way better than Ferrari and McLaren.

From an Israeli point of view a protracted civil war among various factions in Iran as there was in Iraq and in Syria probably best suits their security situation.

For us, it would be best to have a new national government in control of the entire nation of Iran that claims to represent the entire population, that forswears theocracy, nuclear weapons and terrorism, and focuses on getting the oil to market.

Iranian Intelligence Chief Who Plotted Trump's Assassination Confirmed Dead Due to Airstrike and Overdose of Amyl Nitrite and Disco Dancing but Mostly the Airstrike

The homophobes Trump and Netanyahu are murdering one Brown Homosexual after another.

Grok
@grok
Yes, verified. Israel's Defense Minister announced that Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib was killed in an overnight airstrike in Tehran. Iranian President Pezeshkian has since confirmed the death, calling it a "cowardly assassination." This is the third senior Iranian official killed in 48 hours per multiple reports (AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, Reuters).

So close to Pride Month? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!?!

By the way I don't know this guy was gay. I just assume that everyone in the Iranian leadership is (was) a closet case.

Let's see what Iran's current (for the nonce) President says:

Masoud Pezeshkian
@drpezeshkian
2h
Translated from Persian
The cowardly assassination of my dear colleagues Ismail Khatib, Ali Larijani, and Aziz Nasirzadeh, alongside some of their family members and accompanying team, has left us in deep mourning.
I extend my condolences to the great people of Iran for the martyrdom of two cabinet members, the secretary of the Shura, and the military and Basij commanders. I am certain their path will continue more steadfastly than before.

Sounds tough!

But then... there are reports he is desperate to resign because he doesn't want to be the next to be killed:

Wall Street Mav
@WallStreetMav
19h
There are reports that Iran's President Pezeshkian tried to submit his resignation to the Supreme Leader today, but Mojtaba Khamenei is not available (he is likely dead).
Nobody is in charge of Iran.
The top 200 mullahs and IRGC leaders are dead.

SMOD linked this report. I have no idea how credible it is:

The Iran Watcher 🇮🇷
@TheIranWatcher
🚨 Iran's presidency has collapsed as its own president pleads not to be assassinated.
Masoud Pezeshkian is telling foreign counterparts he has no authority, no access to leadership, and no control over the system, effectively disavowing responsibility as the regime fractures from within.
According to Persian Gulf sources, he informed officials across the region, as well as Russia and Turkey, that the constitutional leadership structure has broken down and he is completely cut off from it, stressing there is no justification for targeting him.
Pezeshkian is trying to save his own life as the regime crumbles, a clear sign the Islamic Republic is losing control.

Yesterday a commenter reported that Iranian civilians were passing intel to Israel via Starlink, telling them where Basij troops were on the streets, so that they could be targeted for airstrikes.

This Jerusalem Post story has more:

Iranian civilians sent Israel intel to strike Basij checkpoints in Tehran - WSJ
The Wall Street Journal reported that Iranians on the ground have been transmitting information in Persian through Israeli social media accounts.

Israel has been relying in part on target information sent by ordinary Iranians for strikes carried out during the current war with Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
The report said this was the case on Wednesday night, when an Israeli Hermes UAV struck Basij checkpoints in Tehran, citing a senior Israeli security official.
The official said Iranians on the ground have been transmitting information in Persian through Israeli social media accounts. According to the report, the information is first verified and vetted by Israeli authorities, and action is taken only after it is found to be accurate.
Iranian state media reported on Wednesday evening that Israeli drones targeted checkpoints in Tehran, killing several members of Iran's security forces, including some affiliated with the Basij militia. Separate reports said several regime security personnel and Basij members were killed in the strikes.
Advertisement
If confirmed, the reported use of civilian-supplied intelligence would point to an additional layer in Israel's targeting apparatus inside Iran.

Thanks to Michael the Texan for that link.

Meanwhile, beckster sends this report:

Thought this was interesting, from Amit Segal's daily Substack Noon In Israel:
---------------------------
Meanwhile, Israel is calling mid- and low-level commanders, threatening them and their families if they don't stand aside in the event of an uprising.
One conversation is worth recounting.
"Can you hear me?" a Mossad agent can be heard, speaking in Farsi. "We know everything about you. You are on our blacklist, and we have all the information about you."
"OK," the commander said in the recording.
"I called to warn you in advance that you should stand with your people's side," the Mossad agent said. "And if you will not do that, your destiny will be as your leader. Do you hear me?"
"Brother, I swear on the Quran, I'm not your enemy," the commander said. "I'm a dead man already. Just please come help us."

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The Iranian official who targeted President Trump has been KILLED in an airstrike

Esmaeil Khatib:
1. Directly targeted Trump
2. Helped shut down the internet
3. Instituted spying
4. "Had American blood on his hands"

“We just don’t get along. However, sir, that doesn’t keep me at all from doing my job,” he added. “I can set it aside if you’re willing to set it aside. Let me earn my job. … I’m not perfect. I don’t claim to be perfect. I make mistakes like everyone else.”

Is the war really going this well? -- It appears Iran can not last much longer.

Why is Left hysterical? -- is this another 80/20 and they can't help themselves, or are they really believing the MSM propaganda.

Why is Trump making such a big deal about getting other countries to help secure the strait? -- Just to show what losers they are? To have something to bitch about at next trade negotiations? Because he really needs support? Or maybe just because it pisses him off.

And final question -- is the creep Lindsey Graham wacking off to a DJT tie he found in the oval office dreaming impure thoughts at his new hero, and then afterward breaking down sobbing over his betrayal of JM, down on his knees begging for forgiveness?

I'm reminded of a story my high school history teacher, Mr. Holmes, told us of his tours in Vietnam (he did three with the Marines).

The American encampments in the wilds would go without fires in the night to avoid being sniped at.

The South Korean encampments would have fires out in the open.

What was the difference?

Well, if a SK encampment got attacked in the night, they'd find the nearest village and burn it down the next day.

This is an entrenched, tyrannical regime that has funded worldwide terrorism and killed thousands of Americans over decades. A religious cult dedicated to our destruction who tried to create a wall of ballistic missiles so large that they could fight off any attempt to go nuclear and launch ICBMs at anyone they wanted.

193 The numbers for March 8/9 in Tokyo and Hiroshima both involve some estimation, for various reasons. I think best estimates for the two events are pretty close to each other, though Hiroshima would be higher.

Years ago a mayor of Tokyo would gently mock the "cult of Hiroshima", citing the March 8 catastrophe in Tokyo.

The more important unknown fact is that the excess deaths due to the Japanese occupation/economic collapse and war throughout their conquered empire were almost certainly 2-3 Hiroshimas per month as long as the war went on.

Well publicly Iran has been quoted as saying the straits are open to non Israeli and US traffic. So if a 3rd party escort comes in it could protect from stray shots and not get massively shot at. This might be a lie, of course but every tanker getting out brings down the economic temperature a bit.

And yes, the refusal to help does improve Trumps posture with the assholes in Europe. We are pivoting away from those nations generally and its a win win to either get them to help or have diplomatic ammo if they do not help.

306 Guy Mohawk, that's how it's most likely to happen - one/several areas revolting, destroying regime enforcement personnel and mechanisms, and declaring itself "liberated".

Khuzestan in the far southwest (and oil-rich) seems like a good candidate. Already public instances of mass dissent there over the past few years. Large Arab population (not really separatist, but this grievances). And Tabriz up north. Always a bit different than other parts of the country, center of Azeri ethnic population.

Guess we'll see.

Only certainty remains the duh-obvious one the dumbed-down American politix forces people to tap dance around. Anything other than change of regime is mowing the lawn/kicking can down the road (albeit, in this case, *far* down the road).

I have been watching a naval historian from England a bit and he had an interesting talk not directly about the current situation but about the realities of a Navy. if you want to have a ship on station overseas, or ready to respond to a crisis you really need to have 4 ships of that class, since one would be in transit, in short term maintenance or in long term repair/upgrading. If you have more than 4 total, you might be lucky to improve the ratio of those on station a bit, but there is a huge tail of ships that can't just sail out and fight.

So when you let your Navy drop to just a few ships of each type because it looks good on paper, it may not be ready when a crisis happens.

I occasionally see some of those Promethean Action video. They are kinda loony.

Their logic is that The City of London profits $10 - 15 a barrel on all oil transported through insurance, and that the entire world exists to make them rich, and now Trump is undoing that. I think their math is very wrong, but it is relevant to the above discussion.

Now there would be a useful project for the CIA! They could do a public awareness campaign throughout Europe, aimed at Syrian refugees: that since Syria is under Sharia now, they have to leave. When it was not under Sharia, then there was no difference in living in some other country that was also not under Sharia; but now they are defying Sharia by remaining outside of it.

Lefty Influencer, TikTok Revolutionary, and AOC-Style "Palestinian-American" Kat Aboogabooga Suffers Humiliating Loss in Illinois Democrat Congressional Primary

You may not have heard of Kat Aboogabooga, aka "Kat Abughazaleh." She is one of the new breed of post-AOC Pro-Invasionary Democrat Socialist, the type that no longer hides her desire for authoritarian Soviet communism or simple hatred of America, Christians, and white people, but announces it straight up and then pauses for applause with a gum-smacking grin.

If you are unfamiliar with her work, see the beginning of this Black Conservative Perspective where she pops off with one Grinning Idiot communist take after another.

She ran to be the Democrat nominee for an Illinois congressional seat. She #MeToo'd her opponent, who had been a professor who had once dated a student.

She... lost. 29% to 26%. (It was a multicandidate field.)

Progressive influencer Kat Abughazaleh's bid for election to Congress failed Tuesday after Democratic primary voters opted for Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss.
Biss' victory came only hours after his campaign confirmed the mayor had a relationship with a former student while working as a professor at the University of Chicago in 2004.
Abughazaleh, who formerly worked for left-wing organization Media Matters in conducting opposition research against conservative outlets, was one of 15 Democrats jockeying to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) in the Land of Lincoln's 9th District, which covers parts of Chicago and its northwestern suburbs.
The 26-year-old also known as Kat Abu achieved minor online infamy for a series of stunts -- including getting herself arrested and charged with conspiracy to impede Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicles during a September 2025 demonstration in Broadview, Ill.
She received about 26% of the vote compared to Biss' 30% support when the Associated Press called the race just after 10:35 p.m. ET.

Now, the guy who beat her isn't really a pedophile or anything. The student he dated was only, he says, "5 or 6 years younger" than he was and they didn't date until after she was out of his class. And he claims the affair was short-lived and only involved kissing.

But still, when a radical communist loses to a guy smeared as a #MeToo Child Molester, well, maybe AOC-style Socialism of Stupidity isn't the winning way after all.

Oh, she's a flake, too. She blew off a campaign event and blamed... narcolepsy.

Mary Katharine Ham
@mkhammer
I hardly know anything about this race (except Kat used narcolepsy in a hilariously overwrought Gen-Z statement as an excuse for skipping an event), but I'm glad Bliss won if only so it sends this signal that this kind of fake MeToo-ing doesn't work and is then disincentivized.

Oh, and this terrorist bitch just got indicted by the feds for assaulting ICE officers so the gum-smacking grinning idiot may be going to prison, too.

While she and her antifa pals blocked an ICE vehicle from moving and pounded on the hood and windows, she allegedly scratched the word "PIG" into the SUV's paint.

Kat Abughazaleh - who cheered on the prosecution of a man for allegedly obstructing access to an abortion clinic - has now been federally indicted for obstructing a law enforcement officer in the performance of his duties https://t.co/GRi1froQVp
— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) October 30, 2025

🚨 LMFAO! Democrat candidate Kat Abughazaleh � who got body slammed by federal agents when she tried obstructing ICE � just BRUTALLY LOST her primary election for Congress in Illinois

The �Palestinian�-America lost.

52 What is quite frightening is if you listen to the average AOC speech she sounds like the most dedicated and proud patriot this side of Mel Gibson. It's all very carefully fine tuned claptrap. I call it "pulling an Obama".

And when I say frightening, it is, because it is designed to fool the average idiot that has zero idea she wants America to become Iran. "She said flag!!!! (melts)"

Then we wonder how people could ever possibly "like" her. It's because she doesn't sound remotely extreme. She is designed to sound more safe, good and America loving than most Republicans (who are mostly shit and lying anyway). Nauseating.

You have studios/people banking on personalities that have a lot of essentially just clicks online. But just because someone has 1 Million views on Instagram, it does not mean they are not an idiot/bad actor. Therefore it does not translate into a good movie or people going to see it. OR them having an idea of what their viewers (the Million people) actually want to see or hear.

Now Sydney Sweeney, I can understand. She's hot. knows it and has no problem getting naked/playing into that. Her popularity makes perfect sense.

Zendaya? Candy? I keep thinking there has to be botting (or the equivalent of it.)

138 🚨 Iran’s presidency has collapsed as its own president pleads not to be assassinated.

Masoud Pezeshkian is telling foreign counterparts he has no authority, no access to leadership, and no control over the system, effectively disavowing responsibility as the regime fractures from within.

According to Persian Gulf sources, he informed officials across the region, as well as Russia and Turkey, that the constitutional leadership structure has broken down and he is completely cut off from it, stressing there is no justification for targeting him.

Pezeshkian is trying to save his own life as the regime crumbles, a clear sign the Islamic Republic is losing control.

______

Every girl under the age of 35 who is left of center declares herself "bisexual." It means nothing -- you can be a "bisexual" girl and only have sex with men -- but it's a way to gain some status and attention. "Bisexual" ranks above "straight" in their world.

Same thing with "nonbinary." It means nothing and cannot be verified or objectively proven. But it's been co-opted by many otherwise perfectly normal straights or gays to gain some status and attention.

One conversation is worth recounting.

“Can you hear me?” a Mossad agent can be heard, speaking in Farsi. “We know everything about you. You are on our blacklist, and we have all the information about you.”

“OK,” the commander said in the recording.

“I called to warn you in advance that you should stand with your people’s side,” the Mossad agent said. “And if you will not do that, your destiny will be as your leader. Do you hear me?”

“Brother, I swear on the Quran, I’m not your enemy,” the commander said. “I’m a dead man already. Just please come help us.”

Ok, taking the politics out of things.

In Barbarella/her early movie days she came off as stupid. Borderline retarded.

It is like Jenny Aguter in Logan's Run when Logan first gets her through Tinder, she comes off as almost childlike. THAT is a turn off. Now, she gets hotter as the movie progresses, but...

Romanian Dead Lift.

From a standing position, with optional weight in your hands in front of you, you push your butt back which starts your bend down. As the weights down down your legs, the weight will force you down further. Then, you pop back up, with extra emphasis on your glutes.

It targets hamstrings and the glutes. Good for building butts.

And this is why I don't get as exercised by some supposedly rightwing influencers (like Krazy Kandy or Nick the Nazi) as The Big Guy TM - because I think a lot of their supposed following and influence is essentially made up, faked, nonexistent.

Posted by: Smell the Glove

Congress critters are often that isolated and ignorant. The lazy and geriatric ones end up depending on their staffs. What they are is the CEO essentially of a small firm (larger for the Senate) and like CEOs vary in their ability and desire to look under the hood at what is going on. As they have virtually few performance metrics to meet and their voters are largely as ignorant about issues as they are, they skate by.

They spend their official time schmoozing, traveling, sitting in boring meetings, and fundraising and the off time depending on their inclinations--drinking, chasing tail, going on junkets, running for higher office if House member, and a few spend that time being virtuous policy makers. A few are in leadership either committee chairs or the central leadership.

For House members, their biggest fear aside from losing office is redistricting, second is doing something stupid that will cause rejection by voters.

423 very girl under the age of 35 who is left of center declares herself "bisexual." It means nothing -- you can be a "bisexual" girl and only have sex with men -- but it's a way to gain some status and attention. "Bisexual" ranks above "straight" in their world.

Same thing with "nonbinary." It means nothing and cannot be verified or objectively proven. But it's been co-opted by many otherwise perfectly normal straights or gays to gain some status and attention.

Wednesday Morning Rant

For Thee, Not Me

One of the ~~hallmarks~~ earmarks of entitled, aristocratic rule is the great and powerful exemption. The rulers impose - as the name implies - rules, but the rules do not apply to the rulers themselves. Rules are for the subjects, not the rulers. The rulers get the authority to make and enforce rules, and - thanks to their royal prerogatives, Party privileges or whatever nomenclature is popular in the style of the time - get to ignore them.

The notion of "rule of apply" does not exist to Party Men or other aristocrats. They live by exemption, as is fitting their stations. They used to at least pretend that this is not how it worked, but the mask is slipping off. While in the old days, they would pass laws and then ignore them without consequence, that is old-fashioned. The new way is to formally exempt themselves, like it was in the good old days when kings reigned and peasants served. The only thing that can stop them is a modicum of shame from within their own clique.

So it was in Virginia. Since the Democrats took over in January, Virginia has been passing new gun control laws. There is HB-217, which bans "assault weapons" and magazines over 15 rounds. This one has plenty of exemptions, mostly for cops and soldiers and some grandfather clauses. Another bill, however, was different and got much less publicity. That one had a straight-up exemption for Virginia's new rulers. That was HB-110.

HB-110 is a bill that imposes new penalties on leaving guns in cars. When the bill was introduced by the Virginia House, it was fairly simple:

No person shall leave, place, or store any handgun, as defined in � 18.2-307.1, in any unattended motor vehicle when such handgun is visible to any person who is outside such unattended motor vehicle

The bill itself was half a page long and contained only four points. One defined what an "unattended motor vehicle" is, the second is quoted above, the third describes the penalty for violation ($500) and the fourth declared that any vehicle association with a violation of the new law is legally considered to be "illegally parked" and subject to tow. That's it. Start to finish, it was 23 lines long including preamble.

Good law or bad, it was at least simple and internally consistent. Then the amendments got underway. After a couple of months had passed, the bill quadrupled in length. They added boats to the definition of "motor vehicle." They added differing rules for requirements that any handgun left in a vehicle must not only be "out of sight" as it was in the original bill, but also locked in a rigid box. They added exemptions, of course, for cops and the like - including off-duty and retired cops. But there was another very special exemption slipped in through the amendment process:

The provisions of this section shall not apply to any member of the General Assembly who leaves a handgun in an unattended motor vehicle pursuant to � 18.2-308.7:1 when such vehicle is parked in any parking structure reserved for members of the General Assembly under � 2.2-1172.

Ah, how nice for them. They get to bring their guns to work and leave them in the car when they park - but you can't. They're better than you, you see. They're Assemblymen. They simply can't abide by the rules they lay down for mere peasants. It wouldn't be right.

The only thing that stopped them was a Senator. In that chamber, senator Richard Stuart - a Republican, took them to task for this carve-out. He was somewhat successful. While the Virginia Senate did eventually pass a version of the bill along party lines, it was much more similar to the original House bill. The Senate version is fairly similar to the original House version, with some changes. Most of the additions were removed, including the special exemption for Virginia's munificent and honorable leaders. The House then passed it largely along party lines.

The special exemption for Virginia Assemblymen failed, but that the House thought it appropriate is telling. That the only reason that exemption wasn't in the final bill likely comes down a Senator dressing them down in a public forum for considering it is hardly comforting. This is not a shining example of the system working. This is a shining example of the arrogance and entitlement of a ruling class with unmasked and unbridled contempt for those they consider to be their subjects.

It took a while, but royalty and aristocracy are thoroughly back in fashion.

Anyway, we flew steerage, and had to stay in what were often pretty horrible hotels far from the site, which then necessitated renting a car, with all the attendant waste of time. We had to fly connecting flights through lesser airports, etc. So what, you say?

Do you think for even a second that the people who made those rules abided by them? If so, I have a bridge for sale.

29 Proposed Amendment:

Any law, passed to constrain the freedoms of the affected, must apply to Congress, only and without change, for two years. Then it must apply to all government persons, only and without change, for two years. Then it may be applied to the populace.

Any law, passed to increase the freedoms of the affected, must apply to the populace first for two years without change, then the government, excluding Congress, for two years without change, then Congress.

If a bill is passed which purports to increase freedoms when it, in fact, curtails them, shall be classified as treason and all members of Congress who voted for the Act shall be put to death. As painfully as possible.

I'd suggest the point of the bill wasn't the original bill at all - it was the amendments.

They draft a perfectly reasonable - but entirely unnecessary - bill. There's no freakout because who would object to something so 'reasonable?'

Then, with a not-divisive bill in play, they amend the crap out of it in order to insert the things they really want - the things which ARE objectionable.

The original is just the vehicle by which they get what they want: Virginia conservatives one step closer to dead.

It was horrible, but it was truly a local crime story. Even with my proximity, I didn't know anyone who was shot at, let alone shot. I knew a couple rugby guys who were on the premises that day, and that's just because of intramural sports.

We had another school shooting later, at the school I ended up graduating from, but shortly after I did. I did know the families of the kids killed/raped there. I still didn't consider it a national story, and it wasn't. Nobody outside of that community cared about it at all - even 35 minutes away at Columbine.

There was something about that particular shooting that resonated with people in a way they never did before or after.

91 Republicans don't turn out in special elections, and all Republican losses in special elections are predictive of doom.

I know this snark isn't aimed at me but I don't recall opining much on the topic when we did have the flamewar here, so I'll put down my marker:
Politics is local, and when local officials are obvious arrogant tyrants, Republicans do show up. Likewise when the Democrats can paint Trump as a tyrant (he's not), they can gin up the AWFLs to show up.
In this case it was damn hard for the Democrats to pretend Trump was the tyrant when they're letting illegals into schools to molest 13 year olds.

It was the first really well publicized school shooting, and for a lot of us the first one we'd ever heard of.

I think school shootings were a deliberate tactic the WEF switched on in the mid 90s to provide cover for gun bans. It worked in the UK and Australia but failed in the US.

95 Newsom is lying but there’s a kernel of truth to what he says.

The migration out of Florida has been mainly at the top and bottom of the income scale. For Lower middle class workers it’s impossible to get ahead there so they’re leaving in droves. For the ultra rich the taxes are unbeatable so they’re leaving as well. But for the upper middle class, they’re not leaving for the most part. And those people are still moving TO California. Tech bros making $250k+ a year will put up with the filth because those jobs don’t exist anywhere else for that pay plus the potential to win the lottery with stock options. It’s worth staying staying for them. And the tech startup scene in the Bay Area simply doesn’t exist anywhere else at such scale.

Still, I'm just not seeing signs of some kind of Dem blowout brewing. Special elections aren't predictive (unless you really cherry pick the right ones, which is not how statistical analysis works), but that plus current polling environment (seeming to indicate D+3 or so when 2018 was indicating D+11 or so at the same point in the year, final result was D+9).

No idea what's gonna happen, but it seems assured that we're not looking at anything like a strong D majority even in just the House. I'd guess a small one that's all theater and unmanageable.

101 Bowling for Columbine is what, IMO, made Columbine such a big international story.

The shooting was bad enough, but then it was glamorized and made into a cause celebre for the left and gun control.

All right at the time when social media and alternative news was becoming a thing. Had the shooting happened just 10 years earlier -- maybe even 5 -- it might have been much less infamous and influential.

Perfect storm. It's also interesting that most of what is told about Columbine is not true.

111 JUST IN: The US Navy is investigating whether sailors aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford deliberately set fire to their own ship to end the deployment.

Ya know what, that's fucking integrity and honor if they did. Takes a strong personal moral compass and beliefs tbh.

It's probably because it have been on the sea longer than the 6 months planned and not political. The sailors want to go home.

I wonder if anything political happened recently that caused their deployment to be extended? Surely it's not because of Trump's Operation Epstein Fury?

This excuse is less shameful than accepting that a small, backward country damaged their superior ship with inferior projectiles.

The US military has been ineffective against middle eastern goat herders since the 80s and I still endlessly hear, “hew hew hew, Iran ‘bout to find out why we don’t have free healthcare, hew hew hew”

Under normal conditions I would disapprove of mutiny like this, but this is not normal. You have a president acting like a dictator, and Congress won't rein him in. I don't mind if service members do it for them.

It's a push to pick up more female voters. Make all Trump's female (and normally married picks) look incompetent so R men will spurn them (b/c they will) and make Trump's admin into all male. Then, when they pass SAVE, say now they are even disenfranchising you and making your life harder. Then say he only looks out for men, so why are you following them, squishy R female.

You don't have to peel off a lot of voters to win a lot of close races.

This is an Op top to bottom - all of it. What Trump male cabinet member has the media or the paid Con Ops on our side tried to take down? If you say only RFK (b/c he also peels Ds) and Hegsgeth (b/c he actually matters), you'd be right...vs EVERY female top pick...heck, even against Erika, another now female leader...

In three days, the government of José Antonio Kast apprehended 2,905 fugitives from justice through a nationwide operation carried out by the Carabineros and the Chilean national Investigative Police . The goal was to bring citizens wanted for homicide, violent robberies, and sex crimes into custody.

The figure includes the capture of 2,411 men and 494 women, 97% of whom had active warrants against them. In addition, both agencies also seized marijuana, ketamine, vehicles, and weapons.

150 This is partially because the argument of sovereignty, who gets to make the rules but not have them apply, has never been settled in the US. At this point the de facto sovereigns are the pols because the voters weren't paying attention when said pols first exempted themselves. Obviously, the voters do need to abide by laws, but the pols do too, so neither group is truly sovereign. I argue that the *Constitution* was intended to be The Sovereign with congress acting essentially as regents.

187 I want to be very clear that I am absolutely serious about the black supremacy angle. I am not being sarcastic. The point of decarceration is not to empty the prisons in general; it is to empty them of non-whites in particular, and especially blacks.

But someone has to be held accountable for someone being shot. So if the trigger-puller can't be held accountable, because he's a black ubermensch, then a white untermensch must be found to hold to account -- such as the one whose gun, having been stolen from his vehicle, was ultimately used by an attempted murderer.

That's the real point. Democrats are *obsessed* with race. There is always a poorly-hidden angle.

Reliable estimates from nonpartisan sources like Pew Research Center, Center for Migration Studies (CMS), and others indicate that a high fraction of this population is in the workforce, often higher than the native-born population due to demographics (they are disproportionately working-age adults, especially men).
Key recent data points include:

In 2022–2023 estimates (from Pew and related analyses), about 74–75% of unauthorized immigrants were employed.
For example, one detailed breakdown showed 74.1% employed, 3.1% unemployed (but seeking work), and 22.8% not in the labor force (e.g., students, caregivers, retirees, or disabled).

Labor force participation (employed or actively seeking work) is typically in the 75–78% range for the overall unauthorized population (ages 16+).
Among those in the labor force, the employment rate is very high (often 95%+ employed vs. unemployed), reflecting strong work attachment despite barriers like limited legal protections....These figures are higher than for the US-born population in many cases, particularly for prime-working-age men. Unauthorized immigrants are heavily concentrated in sectors like construction, agricultu

There's some gal running for office in TX that claims that her "friend" got married and right after the marriage, her husband took the marriage license but didn't file it, he went to the Social Security office changed her name, they went on honeymoon where he beat her, she came back, got the marriage annulled but now she can't ever vote b/c her name change b/c she can't get the marriage license.

Actual lawyers are chiming in on how none of that could have happened.
-Marriage isn't legal (and can't be annulled) until the certificate is filed.
-SS office only accepts a filed and stamped copy of the certificate to change name.
-Any annulment would include a name reversion.
-Legal name change is simple in TX, even if not included in annulment.

She keeps doubling-down that the whole story is 100% true and real.

225 177 In my area I have not seen any visible decrease in illegals. I also don’t seem them hiding “in the shadows”. They’re out and about doing their thing without a care in the world. Ice doesn’t seem to know we exist, lol.

Look for the indirect measures, dropping enrollment at public schools, look at rental prices and vacancies, entry level job postings, jail populations declining, court actions for DUI, etc. that sort of thing.

The signal is there, it is just difficult to decipher from background noise and in blue states, they are dragging their feet more than the red states are in aiding ICE directly.

And that includes subsidizing the illegals using state or local money if they must to keep them here and not self deporting.

And ultimately why libertarians in office often turn left (Joe Kent is an example as well). Utopianism is not a substitute for history and reality. And most of libertarianism is utopian in outlook much like the left. There is a reason it never flourishes abroad or in history because its tenets are idealistic and it treats people as blank slate widgets, not as they are.

Founders were for ordered liberty which is far different than libertarianism in the modern sense. They expected societal pressures to keep the dysfunction to a minimum, not the government.

300 There is no way libertarianism can work as long as the welfare state exists.

Yes most elected libertarian types argue they can't wait for the welfare state to be removed to implement other libertarian goals.

So this leads to insanity like LPers bringing in immigrants to go straight on to welfare where they will vote for Democrats.

303 And ultimately why libertarians in office often turn left (Joe Kent is an example as well). Utopianism is not a substitute for history and reality. And most of libertarianism is utopian in outlook much like the left. There is a reason it never flourishes abroad or in history because its tenets are idealistic and it treats people as blank slate widgets, not as they are.

Founders were for ordered liberty which is far different than libertarianism in the modern sense. They expected societal pressures to keep the dysfunction to a minimum, not the government.

But mASSIE, like Loup Nor, is likely to use the run simply to maintain his ability to tap wallets or move to somewhere he can win a district somewhere. If you notice, these types rarely, if ever, run for an office where you have to be an executive and the hard choices of governance show up.

You occasionally get a washed up type like Bill Weld who was NOT a libertarian governor of MASS and in fact was a former prosecutor, who ran for Libertarian VP who upon losing promptly became GOP again, and you have former NM governor Gary Johnson as a hybrid type when he was NM governor.

Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit

My Brother Ron by Clayton Cramer answers all your questions but no. One Flew Over did not affect things nearly as much as court rulings and the massive increasing state costs of maintaining custodial care of mentally ill patients. Lawsuits and the threat of court actions led to sue and settle agreements in many states and the rest capitulated. All during the late sixties to seventies.

Made it easy for state legislators to push care off to neighborhood clinics and then simply not fund those neighborhood clinics and but also do a massive downsizing of the mental health hospitals with custodial care.

Essentially, this is the rise of the street people--mentally ill, substance abuse, and unwilling to behave in shelters. All due to a distorted idea of compliance with drug regimens by the mentally ill, shredding of social networks by behaviors of those with substance abuse and mental illness, and a tendency to self medicate.

110 Oaks and Wild Boars (1865)
Karl Bodner 1809–93

Wikipedia, Kaarl Bodner

It begins, "Johann Carl Bodmer[1] (11 February 1809 – 30 October 1893) was a Swiss-French printmaker, etcher, lithographer, zinc engraver, draughtsman, painter, illustrator, and hunter. Known as Karl Bodmer in literature and paintings, his name was recorded as Johann Karl Bodmer and Jean-Charles Bodmer, respectively. After 1843, likely as a result of the birth of his son Charles-Henry Barbizon, he began to sign his works K Bodmer.

Bodmer was well known in Germany for his watercolours, drawings, and aquatints of cities and landscapes of the Rhine, Mosel, and Lahn rivers. After he moved to France following his return from an expedition in the American West, he became a member of the Barbizon School, a French landscape painting group from the mid-19th century. He created many oil paintings with animal and landscape motifs, wood engravings, drawings, and book illustrations. For his work, Bodmer was made a Knight in the French Legion of Honour in 1877." More.

Great body of work. Became recognized for his depictions of large oak trees, i.e., “The Bodmer Oak,” in an 1865 painting by Claude Monet.

Would hang.

116 Interesting painting and technique. It is almost photo-realistic. I like the way he captures the dim sky against the even darker trees and the shadows they cast. He captures the feel of late autumn or early winter with the leafless trees while the fallen leaves still show fall colors. The boars are resting in the shadows, still present but soft and indistinct. It is restful and feels very quiet.

Don't think I would hang this. It's too dark for casual viewing but it does set a mood and capture a moment.

I'll see your zero and raise you four.

With his gruff personality, Dr. McCoy was not known for his good bedside manner, so it's not surprising he would report deaths rather bluntly. Although the phrase, "He's dead, Jim," is often associated with the death of so-called red shirts, Dr. McCoy never actually used this exact wording in that way. Surprisingly, the exact phrase, "He's dead, Jim," was only spoken by Dr. McCoy four times on Star Trek: The Original Series, although he used some variation of "He's dead" many more times. Here is every time McCoy uttered this now iconic phrase.

Nope. Scotus should actually take a page out of the Warren court on desegregation cases and simply summarily reverse the lower court decisions, injunctions, and stays that are contrary to law.

No need to write elaborate opinions on matters like District Court Murphy's disregard for law and precedent that took three times for the 1st Circuit to finally slap down.

The whole mess created by the idiotic and segregation era blue slip policy is something else that Scotus needs to clean up. A committee policy that denies a president the right to appoint people and for the Senate to either confirm or reject that appointment means that we are separating law into blue states and red states along with district attorneys. That undermines the whole appointment provision in the Constitution.

The whole senatorial courtesy idiocy is a tradition, not the Constitution and fwiw, Congress trying to invest courts with the power to appoint District Attorneys is patently unconstitutional if you take a view of a unitary executive.

The Morning Report — 3/18/26

Good morning kids. With a nod to Gil Scott-Heron . . .

it looks as if we almost lost Cleveland.

Residents across Northeast Ohio got a shock the morning of St. Patrick's Day. A bright fireball streaked across the sky around 9:00 a.m., visible in multiple states before a loud boom rattled homes from Cleveland into parts of Pennsylvania and New York. Windows shook, phones lit up, and, for a moment, people wondered if something far more serious had happened. The object started as a small asteroid about six feet wide, weighing close to seven tons, and entered Earth's atmosphere at more than 40,000 miles per hour. The fireball first became visible about 50 miles above Lake Erie near Lorain, traveling roughly 34 miles before breaking apart about 30 miles above Valley City in Medina County. The breakup produced the flash and the shockwave people felt on the ground. . . The energy released reached about 250 tons of TNT, which sounds large until you place it next to a historical benchmark.
The Tunguska blast in Siberia in 1908 released between 10 and 15 megatons of energy. The difference isn't small: Tunguska was tens of thousands of times more powerful and flattened more than 800 square miles of forest. . .
. . . The fireball over Ohio didn't bring destruction, but it offered a clear reminder of what moves through space every day. A slightly larger object, a lower breakup point, or a different angle could've changed the story. Cleveland heard the boom and felt the shake, then went back to their day.
That outcome wasn't guaranteed. It was luck.

Depending upon how one considers what we here at the HQ refer to as the SMOD, the Sweet Meteor of Death, the aforementioned luck was either good or bad. In any case, wow. Forget about mining asteroids, if some egghead out there wanted to make a fast buck, figure out a way to weaponize asteroids to bring them down on Red China, Iran, Russia or whoever and then con the War Dept. or Sandia to give you a few hundred million to develop a prototype. It'd be the perfect cover for a first strike on an enemy that left no evidence.

Moving on from the Science FRICTION department to other things that rub the wrong way . . .

Like the National Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent whose letter of resignation was a transparent attack on President Trump and his almost total evisceration of the globalist America last/never foreign policy of Foggy Bottom/Langley et al.

99% of the time when a local politician goes national, turns out to be a squish or a quisling, there were warnings locally. And most of the time people at the national level didn’t pay attention. I remember trying to break through the social media bubble of everyone who enjoyed Chris Christie’s viral video takedowns to get out the message that he was a fraud, that he had actually implemented every liberal policy and was an Islamic apologist. For many people it didn’t sink in until that hurricane photo with Obama. For others it didn’t sink in until he stabbed Trump in the back. . . he got the counterterrorism job as some sort of consolation prize for losing elections.
But there were warnings that Joe Kent was not what he seemed to be when he first ran for office. Ex-CIAers who run for office should be treated with extra scrutiny. And Kent scrambled to explain why he was a registered Democrat who had voted for Bernie Sanders. His explanation that he was trying to help Trump win and sabotage Dems was fishy. . .
. . . Anyone talking about an alliance between the Left and the Right, dismissing MAGA and America First, is out to take down America. This is exactly what we used to call RINOs before they got smart and started trying to disguise themselves as MAGA. But in the end, they always out themselves. Kent sure did.
Long before this happened, we should have listened to the local conservatives.

Well, there's the stabbing in the back and then there's the full frontal assault.

Susan Rice, who played leading roles in the Obama and Biden administrations, has broken a Washington code of silence by threatening that anyone who plays ball with the Trump administration will suffer payback the next time Democrats take control.
‘When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, it’s not going to end well for them.’ ” she said on a podcast.
“They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box,” Rice added. She is no stranger to dirty tricks, having been involved in the Obama administration’s spying on Trump’s 2016 White House campaign. As such, her threat marks yet another example of how the left preaches one thing and practices the opposite. It blames Trump for destroying historic norms despite how the last two Dem presidents abused their power for nakedly partisan purposes.

Meh, forget the IRGC, the greater threat to America comes from the DNC. Meh, this is nothing new. We've seen this tyranny before, with every shampeachment and every single time a rogue hack-in-black issues an injunction against this President's constitutional executive branch authority. It's all well and good to root for the freedom of the Persian people and the long suffering Cubans, but unless and until the cancer of Susan Rice and her ilk are excised from our society, it won't be long before we too go the way of Iran circa 1979 and Cuba 1959.

Have a great Day!

For anyone who questions whether Israel and the United States should have attacked Iran, I suggest looking at the Iranian behavior with clarity, not with emotions.

They have attacked Israel with no intent other than to harm and kill civilians. This is the definition of an evil regime.

I think that the biggest proof that election fraud is a huge, ongoing issue is in the Democrats' insistence that it is nonexistent or extremely rare. Anyone truly concerned with election integrity would at least allow for the possibility that it is — or could be — a serious problem that should be safeguarded against. If Democrats were saying something like, "Look, we want secure and transparent elections too, we just don't agree with the kinds of protections that you want," I might think that they weren't complete fraudsters. Instead, their position is essentially, "Move along...nothing to see here!" They're like kids who just broke a lamp in the other room and are trying to keep their parents from going in there to see it by pretending that there never was a lamp.

Then I read JJ's link saying "TSA may have to shut down some airports", and I saw news reports last night of security stations open at Philadelphia airport cut nearly in half, doubling lines and waiting times. Everyone is obviously angry the government makes security rules and then walks away from their part of the deal.

Today, my back and hips hate me and I'm doing two loads of laundry. Also need to clean the living room and kitchen. Hubbymayhem is going to be working on a birthday present for our grandson.

77 Tom Steyer is possibly the most dangerous man in California today. Drawing from his own personal wealth, he has virtually unlimited campaign cash. He has secured the endorsements of some of the most powerful, radical labor unions in the state, most of them from the public sector, and there is a good chance some of the remaining union power brokers—the California Teachers Association comes immediately to mind—will recognize his viability and add their weight to his union coalition. And Steyer has a campaign staff that knows what it’s doing.
==============================
Steyer is an unpleasant attention-grabbing man, an ostensible "environmentalist" who made much of his money investing in coal mining and shipment, a "man of the people" who travels with a large personal security force on private jets, and a hard-left oligarch who would be totally comfortable living and working in Beijing or Shanghai.

The writing's on the wall: Noem, Bongino, Bondi. Following unlawful orders/ loyalty isn't enough for Trump's good favor because only losers are caught and held accountable.

93 When the federal government first imposed an income tax in 1913, it was very much like a millionaire’s tax.

The law included a $3,000 personal exemption, which is equal to roughly $100,000 today. And even then, the rate was a mere 1% up to $20,000 (or $670,000 in today’s money). And the seven tax brackets topped out at 7% on incomes that in today’s dollars would exceed $17 million.

To fuck over a few rich people we took the greatest idea in taxation (apportionment to the State) and transferred the burden to the person.

With regards to Joe Kent; who referred him to the administration for the position? Who then vetted this guy? 15 minutes of digging through his social media posts would have likely revealed some issues that normally would have precluded his selection.

Posted by: Sid

I didn't know Bizarro Superman posted as Sid here. Iran has lost most of its Navy, two national leaders, multiple high level officials, tons of infrastructure and advanced military hardware in exchange for a handful of US soldier? Hell, I think we've lost more from friendly fire and accidents than from Iranian defense system.

If Iran keeps winning like this, they may get wiped from the map entirely.

122 Kent had a very douche-y flounce, here.

But that's the only bad thing he did. He doesn't like Jews, and he thinks that Jews put Trump up to this. So he quit. Big deal.

I wish him no luck in his future endeavors, because they will probably be stupid endeavors, but it's still a marked improvement on the behavior of most IC scumbags.

As a rule, these guys burrow down and work against Trump, undermining his agenda from inside the wire. If you hate our ally in the war enough that it hinders your ability to execute your duties, then you owe it to the sailors and airmen to leave. Your presence is putting them at risk.

I wish most of our foreign service and intelligence agents would flounce like this, or preferably more quietly, but whatever. Israel seems to be handling most of the intelligence legwork on this job, anyway.

Trump's entire foreign policy is to isolate and weaken China, who our military and foreign service leadership all work for. In the coming struggles, I expect to see many of them do far worse than this guy. Trump's fight with them isn't about Israel, but about their country - China.

Unelected, unaccountable cartel judge is now the head of an entire agency.

I'm sure I've told this story before but, apparently, several years back, some UK company was working on an expert system for analyzing x-rays. The system could tell you, with 98% accuracy, the race of the person who's x-ray it was analyzing. Radiologists said that was impossible since everyone's skeletal structure is the same. So they shut the system down.

No attempt to figure out why it was almost always correct. Must be rayciss. The refusal to see the truth, to question assumptions, will kill us all in the end.

251 On a 12-month basis, PPI inflation was at 3.4%, the most since February 2025, according to the BLS. The Federal Reserve targets inflation at 2%.

The surge in PPI came due in large part to a 0.5% increase in services costs, something the Fed would not welcome. Policymakers have attributed much of the recent run-up in inflation to tariffs, which would not show up as much on the services end. Goods prices rose 1.1% on the month.

Food prices rose 2.4% while energy was up 2.3%. Within food, the index for fresh and dry vegetables soared 48.9%
===================
Since tariffs don't apply to most food imports and the services sector is domestic, ie not a tariff economic activity, we can conclude tariffs had little to do with this number.

279 Democrat JB "Fat Boy" Pritzker reveals Democrats’ plan for ‘Project 2029’ and how Democrats aim to jail Trump administration officials once they are in power:

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “What is a project 2029 agenda look like for you?”

JB Pritzker: “I'll just say a couple of things that I think are absolutely necessary. One is we've got to restore the rule of law, and that means holding people accountable who've broken the law. I’m talking about in this administration when we get a new one.

The people in this administration who broken the law and federal agents who broken the law need to be held accountable.

LGN: “And that means criminally prosecuted?”

JB: “Criminally prosecuted, civilly prosecuted, whatever it is that we can do. Right? It may be that you can't criminally prosecute somebody, but that you can go after them civilly.”

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies.

But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

By AFP
Sweden’s foreign minister confirms that Iran has executed a Swedish citizen, after Iranian authorities announced the first execution of a man convicted of spying since the start of its war against Israel and the United States.

“It is with dismay that I have received information that a Swedish citizen was executed in Iran earlier today,” Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard says in a statement.

Since the man’s arrest during Iran’s 12-day war with Israel in June, Sweden has “repeatedly raised the case at various levels with Iranian representatives,” she adds.

No endorsement.
And Trump said he'll not endorse anyone who votes against the SAVE Act.

The deadline for Paxton to drop out is 5pm today. Otherwise, he remains on the ballot and the run-off must be held.

Discussed a few days ago, but we don't want the SAVE Act passed until mid to late July.*
Under SCOTUS precedent, court's can't issue injunctions against election laws if the election is pending. The TX redistricting case put that at 90 days or less.
Meaning, pass in July, courts issue their injunctions, SCOTUS will be forced to void the injunctions.

*in the alternative, pass it now and time the injunctions to late July/August. Which would be the timing of a permanent injunction after hearing if passed now.

By standard of living, most of Europe is 3rd world.* It's only by pretending they are equals to the US, that they get "1st world" status.

357 In Frederik Pohl's "The Years of the City," the SCOTUS was basically replaced by AI.

AI, as in an LLM, will return whatever it is told to.

You could design a system that just reads the text of the Constitution, federalist papers, and the debates by both sides when the Constitution, BoR, and various amendments were passed and get quite good answers.

But the left would never, never allow that

372 Sadly, no Talerico/vegan comments I can find 😢

Trump brands Dem. candidate James Talarico ‘insult to Jesus’ for pro-trans stance. Trump refused to confirm who he would endorse in the primary, but claimed the “good news” is that Talarico, “is whacked out, with his six different forms of gender”.

Is Trump really the best arbiter for what insults Jesus? "Two out of two Corinthians agree!"

James Talarico is the top example of what Christians should be and MAGA Christians don't like that.

I think they just secured Talarico the punk vote. This has far more punk energy than Beto. I wish it didn't have to risk Ken Paxton winning for James to make it.

I’ve never liked politicians until Talarico. He’s a great example of a politician who cares. He uses his Christianity for good not bad like MAGA does. He’s an actual “love thy neighbor” Christian. Not a phony fundamentalist.

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies.

But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

427 Chris Christie lost me when the Pennsylvania woman with a legal carry permit got stopped for a traffic violation on a road that looped from PA to NJ and back. Doing what she thought was right, she told the officer she was carrying. Since a PA carry permit isn’t valid in NJ, she was arrested and held on two felony counts, the second being possession of hollow point bullets.

It was a vicious prosecution, and Christie could have made it go away with a wave of his hand, but he left her there in jail. I thought that was an odd decision for a Republican governor running for president.

Then there was the French kiss moment with Obama when Christie was looking for federal assistance with hurricane sandy. I’m pretty sure Obama demanded the photo op to bolster his reelection by reminding Christie how he had just let Texas burn. Those Texas wildfires could be seen from space.

Overwhelmingly Negative: Everybody hates DLSS 5. (Ars Technica)

Ars Technica rounds up the response to Nvidia's showcase of its DLSS 5 $10,000 AI slop filter and concludes that... It's bad.

(Not kidding about the cost: The demo required two RTX 5090s and they currently cost between $4000 and $6000 each, depending on the model. Yes, they launched at $2000. That was then; this is now.)
A roundup of some of the memes. (Notebook Check)

AI still doesn't work very well, and businesses who claim it does are faking it. (The Register)

Or are looking at a very specific use case. If you need to translate code from one language to another, it works pretty well.

Sometimes.

Maybe.
To underscore the consequences of not having that kind of data, Smiley pointed to a recent attempt to rewrite SQLite in Rust using AI.

"It passed all the unit tests, the shape of the code looks right," he said. It's 3.7x more lines of code that performs 2,000 times worse than the actual SQLite. Two thousand times worse for a database is a non-viable product. It's a dumpster fire. Throw it away. All that money you spent on it is worthless."
Except that's not actually accurate. (Medium)

It wasn't 2000 times slower. It was 20,000 times slower. A query that took 90 microseconds on the real thing took two seconds on the AI rewrite.

Oh, you guessed.
All the data and photos gathered by people playing Pokemon Go has been used to train delivery robots. (Popular Science)

We already knew this, right? The developer of Pokemon Go, Niantic, wasn't created to develop games. It was founded as a geospatial services company. And they put millions of players to work harvesting data.

Musical Interlude

You won't recognise those people unless you are Australian and were alive in the 90s, but I am, and was.

Disclaimer: No AI was harmed in the creation of that music video. It was made in 1992, so that would have been hard. They actually persuaded various newsreaders of the day to lip-sync the lyrics.

29 Puddleglum. Will this MacBook purchase be your first Apple product?

I'm thinking of picking up a Neo or Air as my third attempt at owning an Apple product. I'm approaching this decision with great trepidition. My first try was an iPod which I eventually pitched over a fence cuz iTunes drove me crazy on my Windows box. Then I tried out an iPad last November and I couldn't get rid of that quick enough because it kept permanently locking me out of the machine. The only recourse for that was to go to the Apple store and have them flatten it for me. I fondly remember that iPad as the device where I honed my skills setting up iPads.

In my planning for a trip to Kansas (possible relocation! Yay!), I checked into flying from the smaller Baton Rouge airport, ninety minutes' drive up the Interstate. It's a hair cheaper, but not enough to compensate for, well, ninety minutes' drive. I don't expect the Totally Standing Around lines to be much better there, either. I'll just drive -- and that too will be quite a bit cheaper than flying and renting a car.

Ai works very, very well for me.

Case in point, I created a very extensive data object for defining and querying SMPTE 2110 devices, I asked my ai to create a data validation function for the object and unit tests.

Produced it in less than a minute.

I also asked it to create a client facing email for a change order following the standard template.

Did that in seconds.

Asked it to create a RACI and stakeholder register from an executed proposal, did that in seconds.

Asked it to summarize, provide a decision, action, risk register of a meeting minutes transcript in executive summary format.

Did that in seconds

So again, what exactly doesn't work?

Search for "set default apps" in your settings. You can choose media player in there.

Also when it next pops up the "open with" box, theres the option to "use always". Select the app and that option and it won't ask you again. Note that this will not keep you from using the other app but anytime you open that file type again it will use the selection you provided.

There are many many campgrounds around, some in places you could never have a house because of the cost, or simply because there are no houses there. State parks, for example.

To our Rocky Mountain Hordelings -- be careful out there!

5 Most Rattlesnake Infested Areas in The Rockies

Running all the way from Canada to the northern section of New Mexico, the Rocky Mountains support a vast array of ecosystems from deserts to prairies to cold alpine slopes. The most common species you'll find here are the prairie rattlesnake and western rattlesnake. Towards the New Mexico region, you might also find the large Western diamondback rattlesnake, or the small mottled rock rattlesnake, or the massausaga rattlesnake in southeastern Colorado.
These rattlesnakes play a key role in their ecosystems by keeping certain pest populations like mice under control and preventing prairie dogs from overpopulating the land. In the vast majority of cases, these snakes will ignore humans or use their rattles to warn humans to stay away. However, if a person ignores these warnings or accidentally steps on them, it can lead to a bad bite. If left untreated, many of these rattlesnakes are capable of killing a human with their venom. The best way to prevent this from happening is simply being aware of where you might encounter rattlesnakes. Here are 5 of the most rattlesnake-infested areas in the Rockies to be on the lookout for them.

Remember those guys? The band LIVE was formed in the late 80s (originally known as Public Affection) in York, PA. I saw them more times than I can count back in the 90s - they played a lot in the Baltimore / DC area. Still enjoy their music. You may remember their breakthrough hit "Lightning Crashes" for their outstanding album THROWING COPPER. Anyway, they're still around. Well, a semblance of the band is still around. Vocalist Ed Kowalczyk is the only original member with them. Legal drama engulfed the band over the years.

From a few years ago - Whatever happened to the band Behind Throwing Copper, Lightning Crashes & I Alone?

23 In that planetary animation, I'm not sure the planets are synced correctly relative to Earth.

Saturn, for instance, seems to be rotating faster than Jupiter, but it has a longer day.

Could be an optical illusion, I guess.

27 Live! Great band back in the day. Saw them at New Lennox Commons a few years back. Sounded great. Place was packed 3k easy.

Joe Kent resigning made today a bit interesting. C2 Underground has been trending more and more towards the "This is BAD" (subtly) on his YouTube missives lately. He's good (I think) but it's become more overt. Also Fine. But today he made the Joe Kent thing some huge deal and that Kent was a major player in all of this so him resigning means things are bad etc. No mention of his new wife and her entanglements but whatever.

Just interesting what value people place on stuff like this.

127 My freshman year in college, I got the wondrous call from the front desk of my dorm that I had a bouquet of flowers delivered to me on March 17th. It was enormous, three dozen roses, beautifully arranged. I ripped the card open and it said, "We're sorry you're not Irish." What? It wasn't signed, nothing.

I called home, asking my mom, "Did you and dad send me flowers for St. Patrick's day?" "Yes." No other explanation. This new tradition continued for the rest of my undergraduate and graduate school years, and then stopped abruptly, never to occur again. It was the weirdest, and longest, prank my parents ever pulled on me. To be fair, though, I'm not Irish.

There is nothing creepier than an abandoned hospital. I had the keys to one, while I worked on the plans for demolishing it, and had to walk through it several times. Thankfully, it was only a single storey building with just one basement level. I only went there during daylight hours and was greatly relieved when it was turned into just an open pit in a field.

True story. When I moved to PR a buddy and I decided we would drive to FL and visit his brother who lived on a boat in West Palm Beach and then fly from there. Back then you could get a free ride to FL by delivering a car for a snowbird. You didn't get paid but gas was free.

We got a yellow Lincoln Continental. Total pimp mobile. It had an FM stereo and we were constantly flipping stations along I-95 when the local signal would die. We heard Free Bird over 20 times from Boston to WPB in 3 days. No matter where we were it followed us. Couldn't listen to the song for years after that.

Reminds me of that p0rn I once accidentally watched. Do any of you gentlemorons like having your lemons squeezed? Or munched on? Seemed less that optimal to me. Kind of a male equivalent of a woman saying, wrong hole! Or something. (walks off, whistling)

I once had dinner at a place in San Fran called Poppleton's that was too good to last. I was intrigued by the "Tangerine Gimlet" on the cocktail menu and ordered it. It was then, for the first time, that I understood the artistry of a great bartender. The drink was so delicious and beautiful, cold and satisfying and fresh -- that was fresh tangerine juice, I kid you not -- I measure that drink against all others everywhere, and I've never found its equal.

I once googled up the dead Poppleton's but I couldn't find out anything about the bartender. I'd follow that person to the ends of the earth.

True story. When I moved to PR a buddy and I decided we would drive to FL and visit his brother who lived on a boat in West Palm Beach and then fly from there. Back then you could get a free ride to FL by delivering a car for a snowbird. You didn't get paid but gas was free.

We got a yellow Lincoln Continental. Total pimp mobile. It had an FM stereo and we were constantly flipping stations along I-95 when the local signal would die. We heard Free Bird over 20 times from Boston to WPB in 3 days. No matter where we were it followed us. Couldn't listen to the song for years after that.

What he’s saying isn’t true. The decommissioned ships had wooden hulls but were well beyond their expected service lifetime. The replacements use standoff technology to locate and disable/detonate mines, and thus are at far less risk of being damaged.

311 >>The fact that they would allow it has never happened. And if they allow it it means they are allowing their players to play.

Just not true. Two years ago the Mets closer, Edwin Diaz, blew out his knee at the WBC and missed the entire season. The owners have a lot of say in what players can do because they are paying them astronomical amounts of money.

Even the reporting tonight talked a lot about the large number of big stars playing for the US at the WBC because in the past a lot of them didn't play. Even the pitchers that did pitch were all on team mandated pitch counts. And this is pre-season. I don't see the owners being this generous in the middle of the season but we'll see.

Iran is pretty much depleted of ships that can lay the large numbers of mines needed to make an effect minefield. The Strait is 25 miles across, and it's basically an American lake now. Any vessel setting out from port in iran is going to get the hairy eyeball, or simply be sunk on suspicion.

I still have to do mine. State and Federal! Thankful there's no city or county tax but I think it's a matter of time. I've been dreading it! It's much harder now that I have to calculate where I am financially every quarter and figure out if I'm having enough withheld from the various pensions and social security and what not.

Plus I have to remember to pay for the supplemental medical and dental insurance.

I usually do TurboTax. And pay extra for the audit support.

Just thinking about it makes me want to retreat to the bedroom and draw the blinds...

364 My understanding is that US petroleum doesn't use anything that passes through the Straits of Hormuz. Europe and China rely on it, at least in part. Other countries might, as well.

If Iran deploys mines, why would the US military need to remove them? Let the navies of countries who need those sea lanes open do the job.

Should charge those countries that need escort through the Straight just $10 / barrel for "insurance". If their ship gets sunk they get a refund. Do this until the Lloyds feels comfortable reinstating their full insurance package.

424 The Willamette Valley has been unusually mild, very dry winter, I'm concerned about the Mt. Hood snowpack that we rely on for summer water. But for myself in the now, the last couple days have just been shockingly pleasant. I keep waiting for a late snow as often happens, but no. I'm going to have to start mowing the lawn, I'm behind the neighbors on that.

Posted by: SciVo at March 18, 2026 01:47 AM (Sy6m/)

425 Mowing the lawn... UGH! I need to pull tarp off of mine & get it going. Yard is looking rough. If I wait much longer, will need to borrow a combine, LOL.

Posted by: JQ at March 18, 2026 01:49 AM (rdVOm)

426 Bers, we usually have a few snow storms and lots of freezing rain/ice... Your side of the country really got slammed.

2 years ago, we had a false Spring in January. Was nice and warm & lasted just long enough for plants to break dormancy and then-- Whammo! A couple of weeks of steady, near-zero temps. Killed my weeping cherry tree completely, and many "hardy" shrubs died back to the ground all over this area.

Posted by: JQ at March 18, 2026 01:42 AM (rdVOm)

I'm not sure we got slammed actually. We had 2 snows here. one was maybe 8" and the other big one, maybe 18" here, but that big one wasn't as big as we had in the past. We also didn't have ice around here. We used to get a bunch of normal snows. 1 year we had 19 snow storms, but its been probably 15 years since that happened. We had a bunch of years with no snow at all, and one january was mostly 60 degree days. Its always a mixed bag but in general we haven't had the snows we normally get. It goes in cycles though. This year wasn't super cold like a few years ago when it was 4 degrees on new years eve. we might have had a few days of high teens,and maybe a few in the 20's, but for the most part its been in the 30's.

427 Then you'd also need a baler for the stalks, a customer to buy the grass, people to muscle it, payroll, accounting -- you don't need all that! Better to just mow it.

I let the servants do it. They do such a nice job, better than I would do it. Cheap enough where it don't pay for me to get involved. I kinda miss it though. Well until it gets really hot. Right now the grass is still kinda dead. No new growth. Probably april it starts.

429 All I know about Eastern US weather is what Da Nooz says... yeah I should know better... sounded like OMGSNOWMAGGEDON! but probably wasn't. *shrug*

Glad it was no big thang, Bers. LOL.

We usually get light snow, on & off from Dec to Feb and temps from 20* to 40* with most of the ice coming from snow melt (or just rain) & freeze.

yeah it was trade off. Spend it here or spend it there. I'll sacrifice some things to not have to be out there for a few hours in the 95 degree days. The weed whacking/trimming is the killer. The guys come in like a swarm of bees and blow it out in 15 minutes. It would take me a few hours to do everything. Its a little over $200 a month, but they make everything look good. One time the FIL visited and looked around and said the grounds look nice. Mrs B says "thats because we're not doing it". lol

437 I don't like to think about my parents dying, they're still independent and all, but they're both in their 80s and my mom has mobility issues (uses a walker even in the house). It's inevitable sometime, given enough time. I have lots of cousins in the area, but only one sibling and so I'm only an uncle to just her kids, so I've started looking at West Virginia.

Not that she's in West Virginia. She's in NoVa, but I'm not sure I could bring myself to get so close to Mordor on the Potomac, especially with elected state leadership that hates me and wants me dead. Charles Town, WV is pretty close to them by my Western big state standards. WV also has a lower than average cost of living, versus higher than average in VA, and I suspect that I would like the people better too.

Posted by: SciVo at March 18, 2026 02:22 AM (Sy6m/)

438 My parents are both gone now. I've always hated this town & only moved back to be near them. One brother lives here too, but we haven't spoken for 2 years and likely never will again. Meh.

Once hubby is gone, I have no reason to stay here.

Posted by: JQ at March 18, 2026 02:27 AM (rdVOm)

439 Go with WV, if you can. VA was nice before CIA Barbie and her Merry band of marxists took over. I live and work in NoVA. It's an extension of Babylon DC. Avoid if you can.

JQ, if I didn't have a critical mass of kin and had to choose from just any arbitrary place in the U.S., I don't know. There is such a massive variety.

A hair under 2 acres, probably 1 acre clear that has to be mowed, maybe a bit less. Hard to say. they got 2 dudes on those stand up mowers that rip. one does the front, the other does the back and sides, 1 dude runs around with the weedwacker, then 1 or 2 of those guys will grab the leaf blower and blow everything clean. It's 15-20 minutes. They haul ass. The lawn mowers are fast. They rip back and forth on those things, and they never cut in the same direction, they change every week. People love the company, pretty big operation and the reviews are great.

Integers always have implicit leading zeros. You can pad out with zeros to the left, as many as you need to meet the size requirements of a field, and it is mathematically the same number.

I have no use for a tele at all. I did play one for years as a kid. My father bought it new, didn't like it, gave it to me when I was around 11-12, played the frets off of it by the time I was 15, then started playing gibsons. It was a nice guitar, very easy to play, but not for metal. It did ok with a stomp box, but by the time I was 15-16 I was looking to upgrade to more serious stuff. I still have most of it and the original case, and the neck is missing, but I got a replacement. The body needs to be refinished and some small parts acquired.

I was just looking at Gibsons the other day, since I couldn't remember why I didn't even have any on my wishlist, and they are all so expensive. They don't even have an equivalent to the Fender Player II level. By the time I found a model I wanted to wishlist, oops, already $1800. Yeah, I have no idea what I would even be looking for in a guitar that far in the money future.

I would like another one, but I couldn't stay light on my feet and come and go when I want, or lock up the house and vanish for a few days. Most people around me have dogs though, so I'm always around them. The one shop I work out of has a dog, so I'm around that one a lot. The dude that lives next to the shop pops in a lot with his dog when they are out walking. Another shop I occasionally work out of has a dog. I'm dogged out by the end of the day, in a good way. When I get home my dog shift is over. lol

We moved a few times when I was a kid and ended up in Mass when I was going into Jr. High. I don't have much of an accent, they all seemed to cancel each other out.

Most massholes don't speak with that terrible accent actors like to adopt. Badly.

The old Nawlins "Yat" dialect sounded like Brooklynese, generated by some of the same factors (e.g., a port, mixing of Irish and German with other speech flavors). It's fading now; you can hear it in some of the 'burbs and on the North Shore of the lake. But the old neighborhoods have changed too much.

I, personally, prefer Jameson... in the bottom class. When you move up the age (and price) ladder, Bushmill Black is superior.
Both brands are owned by the same corporation, but the Bushmill distillery is located outside Belfast, in Northern Ireland, part of the UK, while the Jameson distillery is in the Genuine Mickey Republic of Eire.

139 Interesting bit of news, George Farmer was removed today as a director of GB News by his father. George is the husband of Candace Ovens and has a history of running ngos into the ground.

GB News currently is losing about 24 million pounds per year and apparently a lot of the big donors and George's father are pro Israel in the conflict. This makes them less than happy with the idiotic Jew baiting Candace splashing mud on GB News by implication.

"Some criticize him for undermining the perceived legitimacy of the courts, VanDyke said. And while he recognizes how important that perception is, he said he also values “actual legitimacy.”

“So I offer this deal to my misbehaving colleagues,” VanDyke said. “You stop breaking the norm of how our system was designed to work, and I’ll stop breaking those norms that promote collegiality and the perception of legitimacy.”

Finding good sources is hard which is why the mainstream media could lie and cheat with abandon for decades. No one much called them out on it.

I use triangulation techniques myself as that is about the best one can do in a fast changing and uncertain news atmosphere where you know you are only getting about a 1/3 or less of the truth from any one source.

Common sense helps for example Kent's resignation right before Patel and his boss Tulsi go to testify before Congress over election tampering by foreign powers.

Tells me that Kent is a shitbird along with his inconsistent Libertarian 2012-19--Democrat from 2019-2021, then GOP from 2022-26. Plus his remarriage to a woman working for Max Blumenthal on "The Grayzone". Max is a son of Sid "Vicious" Blumenthal who was key Clinton badguy in all sorts of evil disinfo and lying ops for them.

No joke. When I first got my office as a junior faculty, I was situated in the English Dept. Unbeknownst to me, they were engaged in a Civil War between the Lit Analysis crowd that wanted to teach their weird little subspecialities and the English Comp faculty that had to teach basic English I and II composition.

Nasty dirty little civil war in that department as a result and I stayed in that office for about three years. For me it was great as I had a parking lot right outside my office.

Quick Hits

Members of antifa are threatening to kill the wife of the judge who is about to sentence the nine terrorists who attacked police at the Prairieland ICE station.

Members of Antifa have threatened violence and accused the wife of a judge of being a fan of "white supremacist" Charlie Kirk in the wake of nine members of the militant far-left group being found guilty of various charges, including terrorism-related charges, on Friday.
In the wake of Kirk's September killing during a Utah campus stop, US District Judge Mark Pittman's wife wrote, "Keep spreading the Good news, Bishop. The world needs it more than ever. Come, Lord Jesus, Come!" An Antifa member screenshotted her Facebook post and posted it to X, writing that Pittman's wife "is a big fan of white supremacist Charlie Kirk."

Evidence of that? She said it was sad that an innocent man had been shot in the throat in front of his children.

So, you know: White supremacist.

Nine total members of a North Texas Antifa cell were convicted on various charges on Friday for an attack on a Texas ICE detention facility in July in which an officer was shot. Eight of the nine defendants were found guilty of providing material support to terrorists. Additional charges the defendants were found guilty of include rioting, use of an explosive device, and attempted murder.

"Protect Trans Kids," huh?

The @FBI used over 40% of its foreign counter intelligence division's budget on targeting @realDonaldTrump and his associates in 2016 and 2017 - people need to go to jail...

That post links this article from Revolver News.

I saw Chris Murphy crying about some of these rogue FBI agents who got fired, claiming that they were key "counter-terrorism" agents and their firing might have caused the four (4!) Muslim terrorist attacks in the last two weeks.

Well explain this to me then, Chris: If they were so critical to hunting down terrorists, why were they considered superfluous enough that they could be detailed to searching Melania Trump's underwear drawers?

Is this real? I think so but I'm not sure: An Iranian plays the sound of a drone over his boombox, and Basij street thugs go running.

I tend to think it's fake just because, well, they'd shoot you for that. They're shooting machine guns blindly into people's apartments just for singing and dancing.

🚨#BREAKING: North Carolina Senator, Thom Tillis COMPLETELY MISSED THE VOTE on the motion to move forward the SAVE Act.
He didn't show up.
Absolutely unbelievable.

Murkowski voted "Nay," of course.

All of the left is mourning the passing of Austere Religious Scholar Ali Larijani. They are all working from the script provided to them by, I assume, Iran Echo Chamber conductor Ben Rhodes -- this man who ordered the massacre of 30-40,000 Iranians last month alone was "a moderate" who you could "do business with" and now that he's dead, Trump has no "off-ramp" from his disastrous war which he's totally losing.

Like clockwork, BBC airs a glowing eulogy of Ali Larijani.

Larijani oversaw the massacre of tens of thousands of Free Iran protesters just two months ago.

But BBC calls him �moderate� and �a man you could maybe do business with.�

Absolute trash.

I don't know what the ratings are for Congressional Republicans. I looked. I did not find. Sometimes they tease out the results of a poll over several days.

Even if the ratings for Republicans are also low -- and I'm sure they are -- it is still news that Democrats are facing record lows, in a year that they're supposedly going to sweep into power.

He didn't show up.

Absolutely unbelievable.

Absolutely unbelievable? No, Matt, it's entirely predictable. Thom Tillis is a simpering faggot that is too much of a quivering coward to so much as show up and vote against the SAVE act. Instead he put himself in the cuck shed while his betters did the work he is too scared to do.

From the tiny url I put upthread, it is about 300 per year by accident and somewhat over that for suicides. Combat deaths from 2013-2022 did not go above 91 and on average was in the 20's and actually lower than (crime) homicides as a cause of death.

Its called a hash because it is any bits of meat and veggies left over chopped fine and cooked up for breakfast. I even buy the cans of hormel corned beef hash in case I cook a breakfast. Then I forget to include it when I do cook breakfast, so it remains.

The frequent tours, the fact that there was no end in sight and then the way Iraq sputtered out and Afghanistan was a debacle was crushing.

And then we got happy, hippie-type messages from command telling us to work through our feelings which only added to incandescent levels of rage at how we had wasted our lives for NOTHING. I never deployed to a combat zone (though the airport shuttle to Ramstein was shot up after I went back home) nor did I hear a shot in anger, but I know people who were messed up and lost friends. And then to lose...it was hard.

The Senate vote that the coward Thom Tillis skipped out on -- was that the usual vote for cloture (60 votes required to pass the legislation) or was it to initiate the long-neglected actual filibuster, or something else?

150 The Intercept: Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted on Terrorism Charges for Wearing All Black
The government won on most of its charges, including convicting defendants for moving a box of radical zines.

If trump can start arresting ppl and calling them enemies of the state, he can arrest anyone, anytime. And that's exactly what Hitler ended up doing.

Women couldn’t vote 100 years ago and Black people couldn’t move freely about the country until just over 50 years ago. We’ve never been as free as we’ve been led to believe.

This was all made legal by the NDAA under Obama. Trump can personally declare anyone a terrorist and have you assassinated. The trials are just for terrifying others into compliance. He stepped right into the perfect situation to be a dictator.

This is an absolutely chilling moment for free speech & expression in the United States and shows how the Trump administration is ramping up its persecution of leftists, seemingly trying to head us into a Third Red Scare.

Don't be ridiculous. There was strong evidence of terrorism like... *checks notes* ...using the signal app?

Yeah we're fucked. Hope this gets overturned.

There is necessarily a lag between identifying the networks and rolling them up, just as it takes time to bring a federal case and see it through. As reports of these people getting hard time spread, enthusiasm will drop. Loss of funding will also be crippling.

The Tesla thing ended very quickly in part because it was actual normies who thought they could get away with it and as soon as they found out, it stopped. Antifa is "professional" insofar as they are getting paid to do it, so minor stints in jail don't bother them as they already have criminal records for sex crimes, domestic violence, etc.

That is the primary recruiting pool, but even those clowns don't want to get 20 years for the cause.

281 "...Trump has no 'off-ramp' from his disastrous war which he's totally losing."

Trump is losing, for the following simple reasons:

1) The stated goal was regime change. This will not succeed. A ground invasion will not happen, which would be the only way it could conceivably happen. No matter how much of its leadership the U.S. and Israel assassinates, Iran will not stop fighting, and has indeed been hardened into fighting more.

2) The Hormuz Straight remains closed to the U.S. and its allies. There is no realistic way to change this. Trump already has given the world embarrassing optics of begging NATO allies to come be cannon fodder for such an operation. They are, quite understandably, declining to do so, since they did not choose to fight a war of choice for Israel's benefit.

Polling on support for the Iran War is well underwater, an average of 38% Approve, 49% Disapprove. It will only get more unpopular as gas prices continue to rise, causing the price of everything else to rise. Iran does not need to defeat the U.S. militarily. It just has to continue the economic chokehold until continuing the conflict becomes untenable.

282 (cont'd)

It was already very likely the Democrats were going to take the House, as of the State of the Union. Trump has made that a certainty barring some earth-shattering miracle. The Senate is now likely in play. Trump has thrown away his Presidency for a gambit that did not pay off. In addition, no one will negotiate with the U.S. going forward for fear of it being used as cover for assassinations, and no one will fear the U.S. since Iran will have stared the United States down and won. This is the United States' Suez Canal incident. Its inability to project power in a world of asymmetric warfare is plain to see.

It did not have to be this way. I voted for the guy who wanted to secure the border, lower prices, and not do any more foreign wars. But, as Joe Kent noted, the Israeli lobby gets what it wants, not the voters. So it goes.

The GOP will hold the Senate and will probably gain a seat or two.

The House right now will probably be R+5. The dem polling margins have been roughly averaging D+3 - that is not enough to win. If SCOTUS rules as everyone expects on the VRA the dems automatically lose 5-10 seats.

The oil business will be settled very quickly, everyone knew they would do this. Trump now has his pretext to formally get out of NATO if he wishes. Europe was forced to confront that even if they wanted to, they can do nothing.

It's all the economy - always was and always will be. Iran is a blip. If the macro trends continue to strengthen the democrats have absolutely nothing to run on. Oh - and you didn't vote for Trump.

If that sounds insane to you, that means you're paying attention.

Cavernous Nostrils has been smearing Erika Kirk since a week after his murder, claiming that she was "covering up" for The Real Killers, who she has alleged at various times to be Israelis, Mormon Bee Cultists, French Intelligence, Egyptian Planes, US military personnel, etc.

Lately Cavernous Nostrils has changed her attacks on Erika Kirk, now claiming she was associates with Jeffrey Epstein and groomed children for sex trafficking.

When Me-Again Kelly was asked to say something about this absolute demonic horrorshow, Me-Again responded: "I'm not the mom of the internet.'

But she thinks it's "disgusting" that Mark Levin routinely calls her "Granny Groyper" --like many women, and many men too (guilty!) she does not like it being noted that she is old enough to be a grandparent -- she has been demanding that various online personalities condemn Levin for "stalking" her.

Here's just one example of Me-Again -- who, I repeat, said it was none of her business if Candace Owens accused Erika Kirk of arranging for her husband's murder because she's not "the mom of the internet" -- demanding that men gather 'round her to protect her from Levin's "disgusting" attacks:

The widowed now-single mother Erika Kirk can fend for herself, but Me-Again demands her Simps form a Protective Simp Circle around her!

@AntSpeaks
It's extraordinary how Megyn is now asking everyone around her why they didn't speak up when Mark Levin supposedly attacked her.
The same woman who has made a conscious effort to ignore all the insults and accusations Candace has made against Erika Kirk over the last six months.
She even went so far as to claim she had gotten close to Candace and supported her in "questioning Israel."
I use this comparison a lot, but it's nevertheless accurate.. Megyn is a prime example of a stupid person who desperately believes they're smart. She was convinced she had outwitted everyone, that she was in the right, and that most would side with her. Now it's come back to bite her in the ass.

Is it just me, or....?

If you remember the show: Cersei allowed the High Sparrow to imprison and torture Queen Margery, because Cersei was afraid, due to a prophecy, that she was fated to be "displaced by another queen, younger and more beautiful."

Does that explain Me-Again's hatred of Erika Kirk? Could be!

(And Cersei was also revealed to have been both stupid and emotionally fragile all along -- she just seemed to be smart and confident because she kept her face frozen in an inscrutable mask.)

One of the most extraordinary shows of inauthenticity I've ever seen was back when Me-Again discovered that it would spike her traffic if she filled her podcast with four-letter words. This was like two years ago. First she said "bullshit" a couple of times and when she got clicks for that, everything was "fuck you" and "go fuck yourself."

No really -- she has repeatedly told her critics "go fuck yourself" if you think I should criticize Cavernous Nostrils.

She looked like a five year old who just learned how to say cursewords. She looked so pleased with herself!

(And Me-Again keeps lying, claiming people just want her to criticize Cavernous Nostrils for her Black Nazi takes on the Jews, while pretending she's unaware that the real complaint is the DAILY attacks on a grieving widow as a murderers and lesbian sex trafficker.)

She's continuing to be a Follower, following "men" she identifies as the Strong Alpha Men and repeating whatever they say. First she followed Roger Ailes, then she followed Brit Hume, then she followed Chris Wallace -- remember her disgraceful bit as Chris Wallace's attack dog at the Republican debate? -- and now she's following Tuq'r Qarlson.

Well, Tuq'r Qarlson and Piers Morgan, two BBWs with big soft bellies and low-hanging tits, both just attacked Ben Shapiro for being short. I'm told he's 5'9", which is an inch below average.

So Me-Again the follower followed, and attacked Mark Levin for having a "micropenis."

Megyn Kelly
@megynkelly
Micropenis Mark @marklevinshow thinks he has the monopoly on lewd. He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible. Literally more than some stalkers I've had arrested. He doesn't like it when women like me fight back. Bc of his micropenis.

She means that Levin says she's a 14-year-old mean girl trapped in the botoxed body of a 55-year-old woman. And that she's a Nazi.

As she did when she first learned to curse, she then went on to say "micropenis, micropenis, micropenis" over and over again, to show how Young and Brat she is.

Here's the "disgusting" and "lewd" attack that provoked Me-Again into devolving back into her 14-year-old mean girl self. Does this sound "lewd" or "disgusting" to you?

Seems like pretty standard internet invective to me.

But note she plays the How Dare You Insult a Woman Card, as we've seen her play so many times before.

Is Me-Again really the right person to be judging how well-endowed other people are?

I don't think so.

I do question whether Me-Again, who is flatter than Rachel Corrie after an all-Ozempic diet, is really the person qualified to judge how well-endowed people are.

Hey Thimble-Tits, when you can fill a training bra without needing a wad of toilet paper, get back to us.

I dunno. She's weighing in on men's equipment, but meanwhile she's rocking an A Minus cup filled with nothing but ribs and gristle. It's like ordering a two piece from Popeye's and getting two backs. Not what I was looking for, Popeye's!

Now that was a lewd and disgusting personal attack.

But this is where she herself took the dispute.

Trump actually defended his former enemy Mark Levin:

And that is as a real as it comes, boys.

Oh wait it's not, it's a fake made by an internet wisenheimer.

But really, Trump did post about the feud and say that while Levin was in fact MAGA, Me-Again Kelly and Tuq'r Qarlson -- who are not named but strongly hinted at -- are not MAGA.

Me-Again has reinvented herself more times than Madonna and Cher and has a couple more transformations left in her. She's not quite sixty yet. https://t.co/ivEpNWW5C6

6 I'm not a big fan of terms like 'incel' or 'femcel', but if a femcel is a thing, it's a woman whose go-to response to anyone annoying her is something about their sex life or their genitals.

Since projections seems to be real, I assume all women who are femcels like Me-Again have "Morning Milking Farm" on their reading list and think about nothing but sex.

It had the all time insult "yeast infected gutter bitch" tossed as Candace.

was it Kimerly Kacik or something ?

I saw a response from her, attacking an unnamed person, and adding: "4. I can pronounce 'anecdote.'"

Must have been a response to Cavernous.

89 Mark Levin was always just Sean Hannity's lap dog. Megyn Kelly is white trash with a microphone. She looks like Skeletor and Voldemort fused their cells in Dr. Frankenstein’s lab with all that work done to her face. Let them destroy each other.

Remember when shitbag mcgee said she “had blood coming from her mouth, coming from her whatever.” Now she blows him eternally! Imagine blowing someone who shit on you. Lmao

There's a reason NBC paid her $30 million just to leave.

Why is there so much hate for kelly? Levin literally works for israel and kelly is exposing that, if anyone is paying attention.

I get the feeling she was molested as a child. That explains the acting out and psychotic break she suffered since tRump the pedophile took office.

Knowing her history, there is a non zero chance she knows his dick size for a fact, but I am curious if it’s not his micro but her cavernous vagina.

If you've ever heard Levin in one of his stark raving lunatic rants on his radio show you would know exactly how micro his penis is without ever having to actually know details.

Yes, the claim is 5-9. But there are pics online of people who claim to be 5-9 standing next to him, and he’s much shorter. I think he’s using the old WWF method of determining height.

Kelly began going off the rails immediately in the days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. She brought a lot of drama to the party (so to speak) and I got the vibe that she was moving on to ... something.

Posted by: Pillage Idiot at March 17, 2026 05:20 PM

239 Megyn, Tucker, Candace, all are going for the Gen Z crowd who are decidedly Anti-Israel/Zionist.

The all figured out it gets clicks.
Every influencer, streamer, podcaster & YouTuber follows the clicks, the more views they get on a topic, the more you get of it.

Anti-Zionist is thus big money.
Especially when you're losing your older/more sane listeners & viewers who are tired of all the bullshit.

NYT's Kristof Laments Iranian Butcher as 'Pragmatic Peace Partner' After Israel Takes Him Out

Dateline June 1942. Born into a musical family, and an extraordinary violinist himself, Reinhart Heydrich also proved himself a skilled organizer and leader of men with the capability of finding solutions outside the box of traditional government power. Now he has died at the height of his power and glory.

Neither fame nor money turn you into a monster.

Keanu Reeves is widely known to be a genuinely nice guy. Trump is pretty nice to people who aren't trying to fuck him over.

What having money and fame does is it makes monsters think that they don't have to hide anymore. Sadly, in modern US society, they may be right.

I am 5'0" tall; Mr. TiFW is 5'7" - which works for both of us 😊♥️

Zionist "was" used by only the most ridiculous Jew haters on dark corners of the internet for a long time but now the Left has given the order to mainstream it so now it's fine.

Yes it has a meaning but honestly the only confusion is the fact that the Left now wants everyone to use it because they want their muslim friends to know that their Jew hate was always real (spoiler: it was).

The guys running OK Cupid did a post on this years ago. The average guy on their site was 2+" taller than the average guy in America, and the curve wasn't the expected bell curve; it flattened out at the top.

In short (swidt?), the short guys added an inch or so to their height, but guys who were anywhere near 6' IRL must have listed themselves as 6'+.

There were as many 6'1" guys on the site as 5'9" guys, which just ain't how it is in America at large.

I don't agree with the kid on everything, he was a flat-earher at one point, but he is fairly knowledgeable about history, culture, and social trends, and I think he nails this vid.

His basic point is that right-wing Gen Z men are play acting Nazis because the people who have tortured them through Woke/DEI their entire lives hate the Nazis so they act Nazi even though they're mostly clueless as to what the Nazis actually were.

Anna, you can do with older hardware if you use Linux. And the new Macs have the specs and performance to VLOG if you want.

Forget the fastest processor as much as get as much memory as you can and the higher the resolution, the greater need for bandwidth if doing live, and good encoding and decoding performance from your vid card.

And a good 5000 series or the AMD 9000 series vid cards can fix up an older CPU to vlog if you want if that CPU has 32 gig of memory and fast M2 SSD storage instead of the older disk or SATA III SSD.

If you plan to do AI video, then the sky is the limit--that requires serious hardware right now to look decent with acceptable frame rates or you do the online account thing and pay for a subscription.

Anna, excellent price but there is some budget stuff included and that line of Intel chips I think had some problems. There could also be troubles if you need to upgrade the power supply, and the cooling in particular may also be cheap. I would personally avoid something in this range - you get what you pay for. It's a refurb of a "budget" line of PC. It's a great deal and a trusted refurb but I would expect to pay a few hundred more for that kind of horse, and for what you want. I do generally like refurbs.

404 Not sure what to think about Megyn Kelly. When she worked at Fox News and NBC, she was definitely on the Left-wing side of the spectrum. Then about two or three years ago, she seemed to become quite a bit more conservative. Now, I don't know what to think of her, but she seems to have gone off the reservation lately. Maybe she just hates Jews, which isn't necessarily Left or Right.

In highly related news:

The head of the Basij force -- the volunteer "morality police" and regime killers who slaughtered dissidents last month -- was also killed in an airstrike along with his top deputy.

The IDF confirms killing Basij paramilitary force commander Gholamreza Soleimani in a strike in Iran overnight.
Soleimani was targeted while at a tent camp that was recently established by the Basij. According to the IDF, the Basij set up the camp after the military struck many of the headquarters of the paramilitary force.
In addition, the strike also killed the deputy commander of the Basij and other top officials in the paramilitary force, the IDF says.

In addition, the strike also killed the deputy commander of the Basij and other top officials in the paramilitary force, the IDF says.

The Basij is known for its role in violently suppressing anti-regime protests, and is believed to be responsible for countless deaths of Iranian civilians.
Meanwhile, top Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Akram al-Ajouri and other top officials in the terror group were targeted by the IDF in a strike on Wednesday, according to the military. The military believes al-Ajouri was likely killed in the strike, but says it is still working to confirm this.

IRGC commanders are also deployed in southern Lebanon to direct Iran's proxy army Hezballah.

As America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Nur would say, some people hit some buildings.

🚨 IRGC commanders booked 15 hotel rooms thinking they were safe, they weren�t.

Four IRGC commanders in Lebanon used multiple identities, reserved 15 rooms, then gathered in a single room and even disabled all hotel cameras.

They don’t have any special skill background or unique view. They don’t even make good arguments. A lot of it is fallacy and contra factual. I don’t include Tucker because there was a time when he would throw out something thought provoking. He actually attempted to make an argument. But there were other times (before he went full bag of dicks) he would do things that totally undermined his credibility. I think there was probably more to that which Fox saw, and it’s why they cut him loose. YMMV

I mean, if they were all reserved at the same time that would be flaggable. Hell, disabling the hotel cameras could be flaggable. I know everyone's used to CIA and MI6 bumblefuckery, but Mossad is very good at what they do. They have to be.

Debate. The SAVE act was brought up under a privileged message from the House and now debate on the issue has begun. We shall see what other procedural matters are raised along with amendments. Reportedly Thune is filling the tree with amendments so there is a votorama on those but not an unlimited free for all.

Cloture, either by changing the rules, Democrats crumble, or by exhaustion of all speakers (the talking filibuster) is the question as the SAVE act has the majority votes but short of the 60 for quick cloture to end debate and vote on the measure.

It may take up to 2-3 months depending on the Senate schedule for exhaustion and how many Dems want to actually speak. Meanwhile, it freezes those senators to have to stay in DC while it is going on.

It’s more accurate since it’s binary. You did or didn’t vote for him. Defining maga Republican is more subjective.

Of course people will lie to pollsters either way. But if we assume the lies ratio is equal across the board, asking a binary question is a better indicator than one open to interpretation by the person who is asked.

As predicted, the mullahs and the IRGC are at each other's throats.

IRAN IN CHAOS: PRESIDENT WANTS OUT

"There’s a real upheaval in Iran... President Pezeshkian is considering resigning from his post."

Channel 14's Senior Iran Analyst @DBalazada
explains what inside sources tell him is happening today inside the government:

Pezeshkian is reportedly "exceptionally angry" at the Revolutionary Guards, accusing them of "reckless" conduct. He claims the failure to protect Ali Larijani was not negligence, but a deliberate move to ensure his elimination.

The IRGC is reportedly "very pleased" with Larijani’s death, having already prepared an "elimination dossier" on him and his brother.

The bottom line - Iran is transitioning into an extremist military regime where Mojtaba Khamenei acts as a mere "puppet" of the Revolutionary Guards, who completely control the country.

The good ones often are written only on X without the bug eyed video delivery from too many podcasters.

I prefer written news and analysis because it is far less tedious to pick out problematic assertions, factual inaccuracies, and jumps of logic that are often employed by carny media types.

I also read far faster than I can listen to spoken blather, mugging at the camera, etc.

If analysis requires video, stills,etc. as evidence, then worthwhile, otherwise just to hear someone ranting is worthless to me. Same usually for talk radio. Rush was fine as he was entertaining as well as factual when alternative sources were scarce. Hannity, awful and robotic. Levin is a smart guy from his books but you wouldn't know that from his radio show Old Yeller persona. Savage weirdly enough was like Art Bell, strange but also entertaining at times even with just weirdness.

But he said that’s not the interesting statistic. He said of the subset of scum bags he takes down for sexual assaults (esp young girls like 12-14), 80-85% are Hispanic-central and South American. He said they have zero boundaries with young girls.

So this story (as well as many others) is so unsurprising since “the youth” was Central American.

Out of a loosely defined movement of millions of people, it should be easy to find dozens, even hundreds or thousands of people who decide that their mental version of MAGA pre-2025 is now not becoming a reality for whatever reason.

Who genuinely thought that, say, Trump was all about crushing a specific regulation on the running of waterways through commercial properties that hasn't been repealed and that's why MAGA is falling apart now. And then they say it's because of wars or something and YouTube's algo promotes them.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were fired from an area in Sunan, the site of Pyongyang's international airport, and flew about 350 kilometers (220 miles).

"If the past decade has taught us anything, it's that our media failed us when we needed them most. When the most dangerous man ever to run for higher office enter the scene in 2015, the media had countless opportunities to bury him before he ever got started. The housing discrimination lawsuit. The use of undocumented labor. The six bankruptcies. Stiffing hundreds of contractors. Trump University. The two dozen rape and sexual assault allegations. A single one of these would have completely derailed a major party presidential candidate in previous election cycles. Hell, we lost Howard Dean because of an akward scream in 2004. But with Trump it was different. With Trump there was so much there that our media not only chose to ignore a single thing, they chose to ignore it all."

Illegal Alien 19-Year-Old High School Student Keeps Groping Girls As Young as Thirteen, Between the Legs "Front to Back";
Fairfax County School District Has Covered It Up a Year and Won't Expel Him

This 19 year old high school student -- anyone want to take the under on that alleged age? Because I'll take the over -- is a junior.

I'll give you a second to recover from your shock at learning that.

Matt Whitlock
@MattWhitlock
Absolutely radicalizing story.
A 19-year-old illegal enrolled as a junior at Fairfax High has been sexually assaulting students as young as 13 ALL YEAR. Fairfax covered it up despite 12 reports from girls.
Fairfax want to release him AND they won't allow him to be deported.

They just want to "breathe" and live freely and rape your pre-teen daughters. Is that so wrong?

Nick Minock
@NickMinock
🚨New: Fairfax County parents tell me their girls were groped in between their legs front to back during school by an adult male student who happens to be an illegal immigrant and that this has been happening the entire school year.
Parents are livid at Fairfax County Public Schools.
Today, Steve Descano's prosecutor Jenna Sands agreed to release the suspect from jail. The judge said no.
ICE lodged a detainer. ICE says Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid isn't honoring their detainer.

Descano is the Soros prosecutor who routinely drops all charges on dangerous violent criminals, especially if they're from a Protected Race.

Here's some of his recent work:

🚨FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA: Israel Christopher Flores-Ortiz, a 19-year-old ILLEGAL ALIEN from El Salvador, has been arrested for assault and battery against MULTIPLE high school girls while enrolled in a local high school.

They just keep covering it up like neighboring Loudoun school district covered up the transgender rapist. Their Protected Rapists have carte blanche to rape your children.

An adult Fairfax High School student has been charged with nine counts of assault and battery amid accusations that he was groping girls in the halls during school.
7News Reporter Nick Minock was the first to break this story and spoke exclusively with the victims' parents.
"There's a group of about 12 individuals that have reported this assault," one mother told 7News. "It was all perpetrated by a single individual who is a stranger to the girls. He just sneakily walked up behind them and put his hand in between their legs. It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab. It was a groping of a private area. It had been occurring for several months."
Israel Flores Ortiz is almost 19 years old, and he's in the 11th grade at Fairfax High School.

On Friday, Judge Dipti Pidikiti-Smith denied Ortiz's request to be released from jail, even after Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano's office agreed to Ortiz's bail request. The judge said the proposed bail request didn't properly protect the public.
About a dozen girls have come forward to report that Ortiz put his hands in between their legs, grabbed their private parts in the front, and moved his hands to their butts while in the school's hallways.
"What do you think about your experience so far with the school system handling this situation?" Minock asked two of the mothers, who agreed to speak on camera.
"Abysmal, abysmal," one mother told 7News. "I think from the very beginning, Fairfax County has attempted to diminish what happened to these girls."
Parents of several of the girls tell 7News they are furious with Fairfax County Public Schools.
"They have attempted to sweep it under the rug," one mother said, "They sent out a letter last night."
"After we demanded it, multiple parents demanded that there be a letter before we got it," one of the mothers exclaimed.
"But it was a completely sanitized letter," the first mother continued.

This being Fairfax, Virginia, where illegal alien savages are not only permitted but encouraged to rape American citizens, the girls who reported this monster are now being bullied by the children of leftwing Kamala voting parents.

The parents told 7News FCPS' description of what happened has caused bullying.
"The girls have experienced harassment and bullying from peers at school, including people that they once thought were their friends, and the letter that they sent out, referencing it only as buttocks touching, just adds fuel to rumors that they were just attention seeking," one mother told 7News.
...
7News asked FCPS if they will allow Ortiz to come back to school, and why FCPS didn't address his alleged behavior sooner if it was happening all school year?
...
7News has also now learned Ortiz is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who crossed the southern border in 2024 and was released under federal government policy at that time.
Immediately after his arrest last week, ICE issued a detainer for Ortiz in order to deport him, but ICE told Nick that the Fairfax County Sheriff is not honoring that detainer.
"Unfortunately, sanctuary politicians like Gov. (Abigail) Spanberger are outlawing cooperation with ICE and choosing to RELEASE criminal illegal aliens from their jails back onto their communities to create more American victims," an ICE spokesperson told 7News. "We are calling on Fairfax County to honor our detainer to ensure this violent criminal is removed from our country so he can never claim another victim again."

Even if Ortiz is convicted, he likely wouldn't spend much time behind bars.

That's because the Soros prosecutor refuses to charge this as sexual battery -- only simple battery (and only because his preferred strategy of just letting this monster continue to grab 13 year old girls by the genitals caused too much heat).

24 Cesar Chavez is getting posthumously cancelled:

A wave of events honoring Cesar Chavez have been pulled amid “troubling allegations” made against the civil rights leader.

The United Farm Workers union said in a statement on Tuesday it will halt celebrations after learning of “profoundly shocking” allegations against one of the union’s Chicano founders.

The union pointed out claims have been made that Chavez “behaved in ways that are incompatible with our organization’s values.

“Some of the reports are family issues, and not our story to tell or our place to comment on,” it read. “Far more troubling are allegations involving abuse of young women or minors.”

Those allegations include that “very young women or girls may have been victimized,” by its founder.

68 ABC 7 News: Illegal immigrant student accused of groping girls in Fairfax High School. Don't shoot the messenger!

Any GOPer objecting to the groping is instantly invalidated because they haven't called for the impeachment of the groper in chief, who has literally bragged about doing so.

These are the undocumented people who should be deported, no real controversy here. placing his illegal immigrant status at the forefront of the title, rather than focusing on his actions, makes this overtly political.

How's the weather in Russia? You don’t even live in the east coast and you’re trying to create dissent here. No one is okay with assault, but that also doesn’t give credence to your anti-immigrant propaganda.

Meanwhile all the white guys that groped us at ‘Fairfax County High School’ are now in high paying government jobs.

MAGA doesn't care about girls at all, no one is fooled by this selective outrage. I went to this school and if the girls needed protection from anything it’s the white boys that go here by a mile.

It's weird. Chani's first appearance in the trailer is her loving the fact that she's having Paul's baby.

And at the end of the second film, she left in a huff because Paul wasn't being true to her.

The change to Chani is the only change that really bugs me in Villeneuve's adaptation, but I also know that he did it with a mind towards this third entry, though, you know, Chani never hated what Paul became in the sequel books.

Loved the radicalization of Jessica, though.

123 It's weird. Chani's first appearance in the trailer is her loving the fact that she's having Paul's baby

Havin' my baby
What a lovely way of sayin'
How much you love me

128 This upcoming film, directed by Denis Villeneuve and set for release on December 18, 2026, is an adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1969 novel Dune Messiah, the direct sequel to the original Dune book. The first two movies (Dune in 2021 and Dune: Part Two in 2024) split the adaptation of the first novel across two films.
Early reports and speculation often called the third movie Dune Messiah (or Dune: Messiah) because that's the source material, and Villeneuve has described it as the conclusion to his trilogy focused on Paul Atreides' story. However, the studio (Warner Bros.) and official listings confirmed the title as Dune: Part Three in mid-2025, continuing the numbering pattern from Part Two rather than using the book's subtitle.
The plot will follow the events of Dune Messiah, set about 12 years after Part Two, with Paul (Timothée Chalamet) as Emperor Muad'Dib dealing with the consequences of his jihad, political conspiracies, and personal struggles—making it a darker, more introspective story than the previous entries.

He wrote one.

He wrote the second one because everyone was thinking Paul was a hero instead of a monster. So, Dune Messiah makes it very clear that he's a monster. Equated explicitly to Hitler at one point.

Our system has weaknesses that leftist mutants and looters are gleefully exploiting. The weaknesses exist in places where the system assumed that "no sane, accomplished person who rose through the system would do that," and "if anyone actually did that, the public would correct the problem unofficially," Used to be true, but these days, no and no.

I hate to admit it, but maybe those stuffy exclusionary intolerant patricians of the past were on to something. They got some things wrong, had blind spots, we're dealing with the results of their butt-headed failings today. But... maybe they got some things right. For better and for worse, they were part of society's immune system. Society is immunocompromised now.

The Brian Herbert sequels are genuinely better than most of Frank Herbert's Dune books.

Frank was so obsessed with the idea that he should be a god king and that god kings were inherently evil that he spent 1500 pages across 3 novels (God Emperor, Heretics, and Chapterhouse) trying to square the circle.

Brian just wanted to finish out the story.

Three Aircraft Carriers were needed for the initial strikes to kill off their Anti Air assets, and Missile launchers... now there are not enough targets to need 3 carriers...

Ford has been deployed since June 2025... and had its deployment had been extended not once, but twice.

Having had a couple of cruises extended meself, 11 months (which it will be by the time they get home) is a hell of a long time to be deployed.

According to the article, the parents are upset, at least some are. But the issue is the selective prosecution. We are very, very broken.

I personally would be fine going to jail, but that is just me. I also walked away from my career to homeschool my child, because priorities landed where they should.

This guy is a pandering retarded idiot with decapitated worms squirming in his brain.

On what planet, in what reality, can an obvious reading disability be a strength? Dyslexia is something that can be overcome, but it's not easy and will always require more "work" than someone who reads normally. Those are just facts.

If dyslexia is such a strength, what about blindness? That must be even better, right? Hell, why not go all the way and say being a deaf blind mute quadriplegic in a coma is the best thing we should all strive for.

so HOPEFULLY the service and everything for the statie who was murdered by Antifa last week (or so) will go ok, and no trouble.

such a sad story. I really thought it might bubble up but I'm sure the MSM is studiously ignoring it.

220 The so called " adults " in northern Virginia seem to have a problem protecting their school children. It was 2021when a 15-year-old girl was raped in the girls bathroom by a 14-year-old male. He was transferred to another school where he raped again. The school superintendent denied any rape ever happened.Eventually he was fired. The school's system is facing a $30 million lawsuit.

221 I understand the "where are the dads?" comments. But it's not that easy. There are 2300+ kids at that high school, and it's not like they put out a school directory. The only people who might know who this POS is are the unfortunate classmates of this 'strengthening-us-through-diversity' scholar, and the young girls assaulted by him.

Where he lives? Do you know how many Israel Flores or Ortiz's might live in the area? Good luck finding him.

Unfortunately, it's up to his male classmates to deliver justice, and they've been taught to be geldings or else be expelled.

One of theories being investigated is that the fire was intentionally set by one or more crewmembers to effect an end to the long deployment.

That's according to an unnamed source, but it makes sense to at least consider that possibility.

Well, they've been raised up as beauty idols for their entire adult lives. Their entire value, almost literally, has been based off it, so as they age, they see it's fading. If they show off more skin and look like that, they'll get all sorts of praise in media about how beautiful they are, and their bold, brave fashion sense.

Down 4–1 right after the singing National anthem to (the Pride Flag) to a small group, bad idea bad mojo,” the 68-year-old Rangers’ legend wrote. “I don’t blame all of the Rangers organization.

But he said that’s not the interesting statistic. He said of the subset of scum bags he takes down for sexual assaults (esp young girls like 12-14), 80-85% are Hispanic-central and South American. He said they have zero boundaries with young girls.

So this story (as well as many others) is so unsurprising since “the youth” was Central American.

Plur1bus, that’t it.
It’s like a metaphor for wokism or the progressive hive-mind or cults in general.

My biggest problem is that it’s not sure if it wants to be a sci-fi drama or dramedy, or a serious thinkpiece, and the main character is annoying as hell on occasions.

Now that they brought in the Paraguayan man it may get better in the second season just to see how they’re going to disrupt the signal and put everything right again, but based on the first season, I’m sure it’ll go in a surprising direction.

They WANTED this. Maybe not for little their own little Mackenzie or Taylor, but they wanted it for all the other girls.

And the ones who protest, saying 'no, we didn't want this at all, we just wanted people to be nice,' can't process the fact that most people AREN'T nice. Laws, customs, and traditions COMPEL niceness out of people. They are what keep the fucking order in our society. Removing them removes the order.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Saturday fired about 10 ballistic missiles toward the eastern sea, South Korea's military said, staging its own show of force as the rival South conducts a joint military exercise with the United States.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were fired from an area in Sunan, the site of Pyongyang's international airport, and flew about 350 kilometers (220 miles).

Without Oil, Cuba Is Burning

From John Sexton, the fall has begun.

WSJ:

"Libertad, libertad," shouted hundreds of demonstrators as they faced off against police outside the precinct in Morón, a city of about 70,000 near Cuba's northeastern coast. Protesters then marched to the offices of the ruling Communist Party, according to the Cuban government and videos posted on social media.
Residents threw rocks at the building and tried to set it ablaze. Others climbed on the building's second story and threw papers and furniture into the street, which they then set on fire. At the time of the protest, Morón hadn't had any electricity for 30 hours...
Alberto Echemendía, the head of the Communist Party in Morón, held a rally of "revolutionary reaffirmation" in front of the ransacked party headquarters. "We live in complicated times," he told El Invasor, a regional official newspaper, blaming U.S. economic sanctions for the riots.

It's also that Democraps are embarrassed that Trump is so easily crushing the Cuban regime, after Democraps assured us for 50+ years that the Cuban regime was big and strong, and backed unconditionally by powerful international interests, and there was absolutely nothing we could do about a hostile fascist foreign regime less than 100 miles from our shores.

This is dangerous, immoral, and illegal - the third government he's tried to overthrow in the first three months of this year. We are in a worst case scenario of authoritarianism.

Let's see...

1. Venezuela, which is being governed by the VP of the person we arrested. Not much of an overthrow there.
2. Iran. A country which declared war on the US 46 years ago but also the country to which Rhodes pledges his allegiance.
3. Cuba. A country dealing with internal issues where we've done not much really.

Ben Rhodes seems vaccinated.

87 from a senate hearing june 2011 (hope it formats ok):

As Secretary Clinton testified in March, the United States
engagement in Libya followed the administration's strategy of "using
the combined assets of diplomacy, development, and defense to protect
our interests and advance our values." \4\ Faced with brutal attacks
and explicit threats of further imminent attacks by Muammar Qadhafi
against his own people,\5\ the United States and its international
partners acted with unprecedented speed to secure a mandate, under
Resolution 1973, to mobilize a broad coalition to protect civilians
against attack by an advancing army and to establish a no-fly zone. In
so doing, President Obama helped prevent an imminent massacre in
Benghazi, protected critical U.S. interests in the region, and sent a
strong message to the people not just of Libya--but of the entire
Middle East and North Africa--that America stands with them at this
historic moment of transition.

I feel like Venezuela was a new high for Trump and now’s he chasing it but we are at desperate spiral stage. Should be fun!

Trump talks about countries like he does pre-pubescent girls. Hopefully Cuba decides to become a protectorate of Mexico or Brazil before a certain pedophile tries to grab them by the you know what.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba." When he says 'taking' there, it sounds like he means sexually assault.

I hate him with every fiber of my being, but the fact that’s he’s right is making me hate the rest of our treasonous, ineffective government just as much.

But he is not right? He expected Iran to be like Venezuela and now he is begging "allies" to get involved in his war.

I think it’s technicallly possible to get a couple of the well off suburbs of Havana back online, but they’d have to cut the links and permanently sacrifice the rest of the island to do it.

=============================
You can argue we have no business taking down tyrants. I get that argument. You can argue we should never risk our military unless a clear threat to America exists, and I get that too.

But no definition of "moral" includes protecting tyrannical regimes headed by leftist warlords.

Nobody thinks taking down Maduro was a morally bad thing to do, except Ben Rhodes, since Maduro stole elections, tortured his opponents, ran drugs, and fomented death and destruction on Venezuelan borders. Same for the Iranian mullahs. And we haven't taken down Cuba yet, but the people of Cuba appear to think they can do it. Another tyrannical leftist regime, rejected by its people, illegitimate and living on only by force of arms, done.

And Rhodes mourns their passing, he supports terrorist, murderous, kleptocratic, illegitimate, tyrannies.

Obviously the owners would never allow it, if they could they'd have even more post season matchups and love the interleague games. But if I were in charge of baseball there would be a lot of changes they didn't care for, like reducing the number of yearly games and rounds of playoffs.

Hurricane Maria in September 2017, a Category 4 storm, knocked out power across all of Puerto Rico by toppling approximately 80% of the island’s transmission lines and destroying critical infrastructure. The hurricane caused the largest blackout in U.S. history, with the entire power grid collapsing and leaving 1.5 million customers without electricity.

Puerto Rico’s power grid was already weakened by financial instability, poor maintenance, and aging infrastructure before the storm. The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) had declared bankruptcy and lacked funds for necessary upgrades, making recovery extremely slow—officials estimated it could take four to six months just to restore power.

There was a national shortage of power line poles because basically the island's whole system needed to be rebuilt.

PR had a good chance with a MAGA-ish president making some real reforms. Ricky Rossello. He's a businessman.

The leftwing commies on the Island got really scared, so he had to go. So they largely invented a big scandal where he was exchanging texts with his advisors shitting on homosexuals, and leftwing politicians, using very crude (but funny) language.

There was not one word in any of the texts that was not dead on the money. But he was ousted.

218 Dissident displaced Cubans are one of the most organized and secretive groups out there. They used to be set up in San Francisco, but have since re-located to the Southeast US (mostly Florida, obviously). I can assure you that the full power grid failure wasn't entirely the result of infrastructure issues. It had help internally.

Keep an eye on Cuba's primary agricultural product (sugar cane). It's a pretty good bet that they are going to have an unexpected and devastating bout of "red rot" (fungal infestation) in their next harvest.

We (and Israel) took the same approach with Iran. Only less subtle (since we used bombs to lower the living conditions) and wind up the population. Same result, however.

Between 2004 and 2008 Wachovia moved $378 billion from Mexican exchanges, I am told that Mexico's entire GDP at the time was $1.3 trillion

At least $110 million was Sinaloa Cartel cash, and $13 million of it bought planes that shipped 22 tons of cocaine into the US
HSBC was doing the same thing in Mexico

This is why Cartels are hard to stop, because too many white shoe, international banks are profiting from it. 2008 was the real estate securities market bubble that promised to kill the major banks. It seems that it could have been primed by cartel money, and when it popped, the US Taxpayers got to shell out to save the banks from having to tell the cartels the money went poof.

Cuba falls, without Iranian oil.

The price of oil plummets when a new regime in Iran starts selling oil freely to everyone.

Russia's economy, such as it is, collapses when the price of oil drops.

420 Wow, Boasberg... Chief Judge of DC, is now writing RULES for the DOJ and Grand Juries... calling them orders.

Now, this is interesting because the Constitution says it is up to CONGRESS to write rules for Courts lower than the Supremes... but delegated that authority to the SUPREMES in 1934.

But, under the Tariff precedent they recently set, they said MAJOR issues cannot really be delegated by Congress, if that power is given TO Congress, by the Constitution.

Seems that rules allowing Judges, to give orders to the entire executive branch, only based on Court Rules, not Law, would fit under that precedent.

And this is even a step further down... a regular Fed Judge, writing the rules that the Constitution says Congress is supposed to write.

449 In the seventies I spent a lot time in Key West Florida. A great music scene before Jimmy Buffett fucked it up. A blast to hang with Cuban exiles at Sloppy Joe's Bar. Near where the "90 Miles To Cuba" sign is or "Southernmost Point Buoy" there were docks with boat slips and a sign on the dock which read: " If your were found here on a boat at night, You'll be found here in the morning?

Paul Ehrlich died on 3/13. Hadn't heard that. His population crashed

Did they mention that he was a virulently racist cocksucker? The first chapter of his stupid book had him and his wife walking the streets of Bombay, and when he looked out at a "sea of brown faces" (a direct quote, by the way) that's what planted the seed for his population ideas.

452 He says he is never bothered by illegals... and we don't need a wall.... but... his 5 Acre multi million dollar property? Yeah, surrounded by a 12 Foot Cinder Block Wall, with a Powered gate on the driveway... and modern security system.

The wealthy who live in gated compounds are never bothered by illegals, in fact they enjoy having access to the semi-slave labor whenever they wish.

It’s people who actually work for a living and live in middle class housing that suffer.

457 Wouldn't it be cool to be able to retire to Cuba. buy a nice little beachfront cabana with a hammok. Maybe a small sailboat.

458 I've said it before, but it bears repeating.

No, Trump should NOT be added to Mount Rushmore.

Well, only because it causes Leftist heads to explode like cheap Pinatas, should the words Rushmore and Trump be said in the same breath. We need to start a Trump for Rushmore committee.

Nah, the ex-pats will fund it, the locals will rebuild and the US will give a ready market for their exports.

Unless the Dems win, in which case the US will fund it, the Chinese will rebuild and they will go back to sending green oranges and wooden bananas to Germany

You censored my point! The Mount Rushmore club are a bunch of pikers compared to Trump. Give him his own damn mountain - a BIGGER ONE!

461 Trump should have his own Mt.

462 Leftists are mad not because Trump is authoritarian, but because he is REVOLUTIONARY, like they pretend to be. Unlike them, he's doing it.

When his population bomb fizzled - he invented man made global warming as its replacement Malthusian system. Not many people realize that.

465 USAID broke Brazil, so we have some interest in fixing it. Just do a Maduro-type raid on their Boasberg clone supreme court judge and their communist president. And spring Bolsonaro from prison.

Judge Moraes is being accused at the moment for being balls deep in a major bank fraud and bank corruption issue, which is probably up there in value with the Carwash scandal that went no where.

466 The left is breathlessly whining about the poor people of Cuba and how evil it is of the USA to liberate them from a crumbling brutal dicatorship. Rhodes' spiel about it being so terrible to deal with communist tyrants is a wonder to behold.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 17, 2026 01:52 PM (PYyV9)

They are just afraid Cuba will start producing Che shirts with Trump or Rubio's head on them.

Washington and Jefferson were slaveholders, Lincoln and Roosevelt were Republicans, so, yeah, what's the problem with blowing Mt. Rushmore up?

It's not like Democrats visit anyway.

469 You censored my point! The Mount Rushmore club are a bunch of pikers compared to Trump. Give him his own damn mountain - a BIGGER ONE!

I don't disagree with you, its just that Rushmore has an existing shrine rep with Libs, it screws with their heads, and infuriates them, to push the idea of placing his likeness on Rushmore. We could "compromise" with them by having a bigger mountain for his face. Best of both worlds. Push Rushmore first to get them steamed up and wasting their time and money trying to stop it.

470 Bmmm, perhaps we have one more new weapon in our arsenal, soon to be deployed.

The "Rods from God*" of legend, dropped upon North Korea's mountain range full of artillery that overlooks Seoul, and their Luke sites. Silent death from near Earth orbit.

*Telephone pole size tungsten rods stored in orbit above the Earth, secretly.

475 Let's call them all Orange revolutions. Like Dem color revolutions but this time to increase freedom rather than have progressive puppet states.

476 I'm stunned. Disposing of communists and dictators, freeing millions of people, is somehow immoral and authoritarian. I need a new dictionary.
