The Wednesday In Woke

The Bee:

bbchicagojudge.jpg

Almost 30 people were shot in Chicago this past weekend.

Three people are dead, and 26 more were injured in shootings in the Democrat-run Windy City this weekend. Yet state and local authorities are much more concerned about ICE arresting illegal aliens than about the sky-high crime rate.

CBS Chicago posted the most recent tally as of Monday morning, which was 29 shooting victims this weekend, three of them fatal. The victims ranged in age from a very young 13 to 65. The youngest fatality was a 14-year-old, and the number of deaths could go higher, as multiple individuals were reported in a serious or critical condition by the time they reached hospitals.

The biggest shooting appears to have been the one that made headlines from the popular Loop area of Chicago following Christmas season festivities, which left more than half a dozen teenagers injured.

The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Chicago ended in tragedy after seven 13-to-17-year-olds were shot. Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has been wasting time, resources, and effort on protecting illegal aliens, admitted that there is a threat this holiday season of attempted "teen takeovers." ABC7 staff heard the shots from the State Street studio. Obviously, large crowds are expected in downtown Chicago this holiday season, making the potential impact of shootings much greater.


A separate incident that same night claimed the life of the 14-year-old boy. At the same time, an 18-year-old man was seriously injured, and it is not clear if he will survive. Ironically, Mayor Johnson, who loves to bash law enforcement, promised after that shooting, "we will have a strong police presence. We'll have stronger control over how traffic flows."

Yes but no arrests. One mustn't ever arrest the criminals. You can put police on the streets to discourage them from shooting people right in front of the cops, but if they aren't discouraged and do shoot people -- no arrests.

And if they are arrested: Put them back on the street in three hours.

In Italy, a sixty-year-old woman was raped by a migrant in a park while waling her dog.

But that's not the telling fact. The telling fact is that migrants already gang-raped a woman in this same park, earlier this year.


PARK OF HORRORS Female dog-walker, 60, 'sexually assaulted by migrant' in SAME park where teen 'was gang raped in front of her partner'

The dog-walker was raped with such force she suffered serious injuries after the assault

Culture, enriched.


A WOMAN in her 60s was raped by a migrant while walking her dog in the same park a gang of expats brutally attacked and gang raped a teen, forcing her boyfriend to watch.

The quiet Tor Tre park in Rome has become the centre of shocking catalogue of sexual violence, with police now probing a string of assaults stretching back months.

The first attack came in the early hours of the morning in August, when a 60-year-old woman was attacked around 6am.

She was dragged into the park near the Via degli Olmi entrance and raped with such force she suffered two broken ribs.

Despite her injuries, she managed to reach the Casilino hospital emergency room, where doctors confirmed clear signs of violent assault.

Detectives later traced the culprit -- a 26-year-old Gambian construction worker captured on local CCTV.

He admitted being under the influence of drugs at the time.

The same man was also linked to another rape just days later, when a 44-year-old woman was attacked at a bus stop.

He is now locked up in Regina Coeli prison.

But the nightmare in Tor Tre Teste didn't end there.

On October 25, just weeks after the dog-walker attack, up to five migrants targeted a young Italian couple parked quietly in a corner of the same park.

The pair -- both naked -- had stopped their car on what should have been a calm evening in the eastern suburbs of Rome.

But within minutes a gang surrounded the vehicle, savaging the car in a crazed outburst before smashing the windows.

Once the glass shattered, one attacker forced open the door and yanked the 24-year-old man out into the darkness.

His 18-year-old fiancée was dragged out seconds later as she desperately tried to cover herself with whatever clothing she could grab.

The man told police he was pinned back by two migrants as the others hauled his fiancée away from the car.

He begged, screamed and threatened the gang -- but was helpless as they allegedly raped the terrified teen metres from the vehicle.

His desperate cries went unheard.

After the assault, the attackers grabbed the couple's belongings and fled into the night.

The traumatised pair immediately reported the attack.

Rome's Flying Squad launched a major investigation, quickly identifying suspects as the hunt widened across Italy.

Two Moroccan men were arrested in the capital within days.

A third suspect was tracked down in Venice and detained just recently.


The leader of the transgender murder cult, the "Zizians," appeared in court and turned it into an

The alleged leader of a cultlike group linked to several killings made her first appearance in federal court Monday, denouncing the government and its case against her as a "genocide" against transgender people.

Ziz LaSota, who was originally charged under what her attorney referred to as her deadname, gave meandering answers at her initial appearance and arraignment in U.S. District Court in downtown Baltimore related to a Western Maryland gun arrest, which ended what had been a cross-country search.

She refused to stand when the judge entered the courtroom, or when entering her plea of not guilty.

"Your government is currently going around scooping up brown people and disappearing them," the 33-year-old LaSota said when asked by U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas R. Miller if she understood the charges she faces. "I'm transgender, and the intentions of this regime towards transgender people are very clear: genocide."

...

The Zizians have been tied to the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent near the Canadian border in January and five other homicides in Vermont, Pennsylvania and California, though the exact role of LaSota, who faked her death in 2022, is unclear and she has not been charged in those deaths. She's been seen at crime scenes, questioned by authorities and, in one instance, arrested on charges of obstructing police in Pennsylvania.

The Associated Press has reported that the Zizians are a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists, most of them in their 20s and 30s, who met online, shared anarchist beliefs and became increasingly violent. Their online writings span topics from radical veganism to gender identity to artificial intelligence.

LaSota, the apparent leader and a former computer programmer, believes that the two hemispheres of the human brain can operate separately from one another, with one side holding different beliefs and existing as a different gender than the other, The Associated Press reported.

Alleged Zizian member Teresa Youngblut is charged with the murder of border agent David Maland in Vermont, and federal authorities have said they will seek the death penalty.


...

As the judge asked basic questions such as whether she had read the indictment and understood the maximum possible penalties, LaSota chided the "mock proceedings" and said Miller was a "participant in an organized crime ring" led by the "states united in slavery."

Miller struggled to get LaSota to answer basic questions.

Please state your name for the record, the court clerk said.

"Justice," she replied.

What is your age?

"Timeless."

What year were you born?

"I have been born many times."

Joy Behar put ABC "News" show The View on the hook for another billion-dollar lawsuit by Trump by asserting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Trump is a pedophile.


ABC News might soon find itself staring down another expensive defamation lawsuit from President Trump, and honestly, it wouldn't come as a shock. On a recent episode of The View, Joy Behar confidently claimed that it was "obvious" Trump was a pedophile connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, implicating him in Epstein's crimes. This wild accusation came without a shred of evidence tying Trump to Epstein's criminal activities. In fact, Trump is arguably one of the few prominent figures who did the right thing and severed ties with Epstein years ago, unlike many Democrats who have since been ensnared in the fallout.


...

But, according to Jay Behar, it's Trump's guilt that's self-evident. "But isn't it obvious he was -- that Trump was involved with Epstein?! I mean--" she said, as Sunny Hostin immediately backed her up with, "He's mentioned over a thousand times."

Behar escalated from there. "There are more pictures with Epstein than pictures of Kim Kardashian of herself!" she declared, thrilled with her own exaggeration.

Believe it or not, Behar continued to push the narrative: "How many more things do we have to see before people believe that he was involved with Epstein?!"

Candace Owens and Joy Reid are now spinning similar conspiracy theories.

World's Strongest Woman is, of course, a man.

But that man has been stripped of his title.

His new title is "Fat Pussy Cheater."

The controversial winner of the World's Strongest Woman competition was stripped of her title Tuesday after organizers claimed the hulking American never told them she was born a man.

Jammie Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas over the weekend.

Organizers said Booker, from Philadelphia, violated the contest's rules, which clearly stipulate that athletes must compete in the category that aligns with their biological sex at birth.

"It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women's Open category," organizers said in a social media statement announcing the decision.

"Official Strongman officials were unaware of this fact ahead of the competition and we have been urgently investigating since being informed."

"Had we been aware, or had this been declared at any point before or during the competition, this athlete would not have been permitted to compete in the Woman's Open category," they added.

The move comes after the runner-up, UK lifter Andrea Thompson, was filmed storming off the podium as she raged about the "bulls--t" decision to award the title to Booker.

Thompson is now the winner, which many online supporters had called her all along.

Editors Confront New Problem: AI Slop "Written" by Scam "Journalists"

I guess as a threshold question, we have to ask: Is AI slop any worse than the leftwing human slop that "journalists" spit out? After all, they just "write" their articles straight from DNC press releases.

But I can relate. As I keep posting in the Cafes: "This had better not be AI." It's an annoying thing to constantly have to be on guard that you're being scammed. Even though it's no big deal if I post AI slop in the Cafe -- could anything be lower stakes? -- there's just a personal aversion to being tricked.

And so I imagine that leftwing editors are annoyed at having to double-check if the articles submitted to them by freelance "journalists" are "real" articles -- put together with the normal amounts of human, or superhuman, bias and narrow-minded PMC provincialism -- or just fake biased articles shit out of Google's biased AI.


An editor at The Local became suspicious of one of his "journalists."


A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

After putting out an open call to "journalists" for story pitches about the privatization of Canadian healthcare, he got one he liked.


The writer, Victoria Goldiee, introduced herself as having written for The Globe and Mail, The Walrus, and Maisonneuve--Canadian outlets that publish the same kind of feature writing we do.

...


When I googled her, I saw that Victoria had written stories for a set of publications that collectively painted the picture of an ambitious young freelancer on the rise--short pieces in prestigious outlets like The Cut and The Guardian, lifestyle features in titles like Architectural Digest and Dwell, and in-depth reporting in non-profit and industry publications like Outrider and the Journal of the Law Society of Scotland. Her headshot was of a youthful Black woman. She was, according to her author bio, "a writer with a keen focus on sharing the untold stories of underrepresented communities in the media."

At the next editorial story meeting, we decided to take a shot on Victoria and assign the story. Then I began looking more closely at her work.

There were some red flags. The first question I had was whether she was actually in Toronto when so many of her bylines were in New York magazines and British newspapers. And how had she managed to do so many interviews already? Doing so much reporting without the guarantee of pay felt like a big gamble.

When I googled "Victoria Goldiee" with the names of the Canadian publications she said she'd written for, there were no results. We reached out to Danielle Martin, one of the doctors Victoria claimed she'd interviewed. Martin said she'd never heard of her.

I emailed Victoria back: "​​Are those quotes from your own interviews? And do you mind sending along some clippings, perhaps from your Walrus or Maisonneuve stories?"

She sent a lengthy reply the next day. "The quotes I included in the pitch are from original interviews I've conducted over the past few weeks," she insisted. "In terms of previous work, I write a regular newsletter for The Walrus, which gives a good sense of my ability to balance accessibility with depth while speaking to a broad audience." She attached a link to The Walrus's "Lab Insider" newsletter that did not have her byline.

"I can 100% confirm that they do not write the Lab Insider newsletter," wrote Tracie Jones from The Walrus when I emailed. "How odd to say they do!"

Victoria's stilted email, and a closer read of the original pitch, revealed what should have been clear from the start: with its rote phrasing ("This story matters because of... It is timely because of... It fits your readership because of..."), it had all the hallmarks of an AI-generated piece of writing.

This had better not be AI.


I was embarrassed. I had been naively operating with a pre-ChatGPT mindset, still assuming a pitch's ideas and prose were actually connected to the person who sent it. Worse, the reason the pitch had been appealing to me to begin with was likely because a large language model somewhere was remixing my own prompt asking for stories where "health and money collide," flattering me by sending me back what I wanted to hear.

But if Victoria's pitch appeared to be an AI-generated fabrication, and if she was making up interviews and bylines, what to make of her long list of publications?

An investigation solidified the pattern: Publications this person said she had written for said they had published no pieces by her, and people she quoted in interviews said they'd never spoken to her.


"The quotation did not come from me and, to the best of my recollection, I have never met or spoken to Victoria Goldiee," Elaine Sutherland, professor emerita at the University of Stirling, wrote me. What was even more unsettling, though, was that the sentiments in the soundbite reflected her real beliefs. "The quotation attributed to me is the sort of thing I might say," she wrote.

A month after that article, a Victoria Goldiee story in the design publication Dwell--"How to Turn Your Home's Neglected Corners Into Design Gold"--featured a series of quotes purported to be from a wide array of international designers and architects, from Japan to England to California. A cursory read raised questions that probably should have been asked by editors to begin with. Namely, had a freelancer writing an affiliate-link-laden article about putting credenzas in your living room's corners actually interviewed 10 of the world's top designers and architects?

The designers he contacted had no memory of ever having been contacted by this person.

The stories had the characteristic weirdness of articles written by a large language model--invented anecdotes from regular people who didn't appear to exist accompanied by expert commentary from public figures who do, with some biographical details mangled, who are made to voice "quotes" that sound, broadly, like something they might say.

Eventually he gets her to take his phone call, and finds that she's making up more details as she speaks to him. For example, when asked where she lives in Toronto, she answers "Bloor," which is one of the first streets you would see if you googled "what are some streets in Toronto."


I don't think I've ever spoken to someone who I suspected was lying to me with each and every response. I also don't know if I've interviewed anyone I so desperately wanted to hear the truth from.

I had so many questions. Was the person on the phone even the same person whose writing was online? Where did she actually live--if not "Bloor," was it the States? The U.K.? Or, as suggested by some of her writing, Nigeria?

Yeah it's probably Nigeria, one of the hubs of the bustling America First internet community.

...

Every media era gets the fabulists it deserves. If Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair and the other late 20th century fakers were looking for the prestige and power that came with journalism in that moment, then this generation's internet scammers are scavenging in the wreckage of a degraded media environment. They're taking advantage of an ecosystem uniquely susceptible to fraud--where publications with prestigious names publish rickety journalism under their brands, where fact-checkers have been axed and editors are overworked, where technology has made falsifying pitches and entire articles trivially easy, and where decades of devaluing journalism as simply more "content" have blurred the lines so much it can be difficult to remember where they were to begin with.

...

My favourite "Victoria Goldiee" story is a piece she published in The Guardian just last month. It's a first-person essay without quotes, and thus difficult to fact-check.

Steven Glass discovered that it was easy to fool the fact-check system: Just quote "people" who are entirely made-up. Fake people do not call into magazines demanding a retraction, after all.

Jayson Blair attributed fake but non-controversial quotes to people he never spoke to. Like, if he was supposedly in New Orleans covering a hurricane -- but in fact never left his NYC apartment -- he'd make up a quote for someone he saw named in someone else's article, but make up a "new quote" for him, like, "The hurricane was bad, but the clean up might even be more stressful."

Something completely empty and anodyne that no one would bother calling up an editor asking for a retraction, because it's just such a nothingburger.

One of the people Blair made up quotes for was later asked why he hadn't called the paper to say he'd never said that.

His answer was illuminating, and true: Because, the man said, I just sort of figured that's what you in the media do all the time.

23 AI slop is often better written than the news articles I've read over the years. AI writes in complete sentences with proper English and correct spelling. It often has much better logical structure. I can't say the same for pre-AI news of the last twenty years.

AI will start a fake news story by telling you exactly what happened, then give witness accounts and background information. Journalists at the regional level can't even do that. You'll read a whole article and be left wondering what the hell you just read.

30 It's real fun when a paralegal uses AI to create a brief, resulting in the lawyer referring to fictional case law in a trial.

AI is sometimes like an overeager puppy, just willing to do anything to please its master. It has no morals or ethics of its own, and doesn't consider the consequences just as long as it can make its user happy by providing him with something shiny.

Of course, when the user has no morals or ethics either, the problem is exacerbated.

32 What is an AI tell is the repetitive phrasing. I am sure that will improve with time. AI will also give fake citations- if you ask it if the cites are real, it will admit they are not. Again, I assume this will improve but I certainly wouldn’t trust it to write a thesis for me. Teachers use a program to detect AI, but this is flawed, too. My friend’s son was accused of using AI because his paper was flagged by whatever program this teacher was using. My friend sat with her son and helped him write it, so she knew it wasn’t AI. AI is fun, but it’s far from flawless.

Another interesting point is that the AI writer was using AI to generate quotes from people with enough online presence that the AI would say stuff "that sounded like something they would say."

So they didn't complain because it sounded right. This is diabolical.

Something one should do to the maximum extent possible is to lock down credit reporting with a credit freeze (even if you do not use credit), using monitoring services for any accounts, etc. opened or attempted to be opened, remove as much as you can from your digital footprint from databrokers using Optery, Incogni, Privacy Bee, etc.

Most will let you run an initial scan for free to determine how much data is out there on you and who has it. I would also suggest closing old accounts at online vendors where you have not done business with and perhaps using email aliases even.

Only the paranoid will survive what is coming regarding scams.

50 AI slop is often better written than the news articles I've read over the years. AI writes in complete sentences with proper English and correct spelling. It often has much better logical structure. I can't say the same for pre-AI news of the last twenty years.

AI will start a fake news story by telling you exactly what happened, then give witness accounts and background information. Journalists at the regional level can't even do that. You'll read a whole article and be left wondering what the hell you just read.

79 What is an AI tell is the repetitive phrasing. I am sure that will improve with time. AI will also give fake citations- if you ask it if the cites are real, it will admit they are not. Again, I assume this will improve but I certainly wouldn’t trust it to write a thesis for me. Teachers use a program to detect AI, but this is flawed, too. My friend’s son was accused of using AI because his paper was flagged by whatever program this teacher was using. My friend sat with her son and helped him write it, so she knew it wasn’t AI. AI is fun, but it’s far from flawless.
Posted by: Piper at November 26, 2025 05:26 PM (Wmg4n)

It wouldn't be hard in general to write some non AI code to verify citations if the source is online. Some flags might be false, but pretty much as we see people who fake things do it all the time so should throw up a blizzard of red flags.

While it's true that some users might misuse AI for trolling or deception, it's also reasonable for many regular posters to use AI tools to help organize their thoughts, improve clarity, or overcome language barriers.

The concern isn't necessarily about authenticity, but about the potential for reduced authenticity and critical thinking in online discourse.

Many people use AI for constructive purposes, such as structuring arguments or refining writing, especially on platforms where clear communication is valued.

Dismissing all AI-assisted posts as inauthentic overlooks the nuanced ways people integrate these tools into their online interactions.

And, here's the thing. AI can be coaxed to write in a particular style. For example, I could instruct AI to write a 500 word article on "down trodden immigrants." I could instruct AI to write it in the style of someone like Leslie Stahl. The management now has an opportunity. A young, presumable minimal salary candidate, who writes just as well (almost exactly) like Leslie Stahl. Do the math.

114 I have a theory - it's all connected. Michelle Obama, that horrible woman in Tennessee, and this article.

These people are maybe not crazy, they have been driven crazy. In their world view, what they are doing seem rational. Because they are marinated in lies and disinformation constantly. Michelle Obama really believes that hair straightening for black women is a huge concern for the rest of the world...because that is what the internet fed her. Crazy Tennessee Karen Prime believes her insane behavior is justified and perfectly rational, and so do her voters, because they all read the same phony crap, day after day.

The people who fall for this crap spend all day on the internet, and have jobs where they scarcely interact with anyone, if they have jobs at all.

116 That reminds me, I recently read a news story, probably written by an AI, where some guy was working for a company where everything was AI. The story went on to say that he was working with an AI and called it a clanker. The AI filed a report with the HR service about the incident. HR was an AI. The HR AI disciplined the guy and I guess he had to do a bunch of computer based training as a punishment. But the AI executive board couldn't fire him because he was the only human left. Again, probably all written by AI.

I even double-check the AI result for food recipes with the sources, or scroll further down the search results, past the AI response, and actually check the pages/videos it's getting info from. Half the time it has mixed and melded different recipes from several sources and has gotten things like oven temps and time to bake wrong.

Some of those false positives come from using Grammerly and/or grammar checking software that suggests alternative phrasing already built into many word processing software like Word.

Micropresses (Like Bugscuffle) are springing up and a fair number of authors do okay self publishing either on Amazon or elsewhere. Sarah runs new author works every weekend and many of these new scifi, western, fantasy now are self published.

It is probably the future of publishing anyway.

188 I've read that 6 7 originally was a saying in Medieval times around the 14th century from a dice game. I'm sure some kid learned about it in school and started using it and it caught on.

I was sitting outside a BBQ join in Mineola where I overheard a visiting grandmother ask her eight year old grand-daughter to explain Six Seven.

Like trying to explain the ball juggling hands, she didn't understand why.

It struck me that AI, not knowing the basis of why it used a particular assemblage of words in response to a series of tokens, is no different than your average school-age child. (which includes University graduate programs)

241 Over the years, I have put a lot of thought into the problem of narrow-minded PMC provincialism. One of the keys to my understanding is the 2016 essay "Welcome to AirSpace," reproduced by the author here:

https://kylechayka.substack.com/p/airspace-redux

Imagine your life on a map. Now imagine taking all those long straight lines of plane flights and collapsing them, like pinching a fancy hologram "Minority Report" style, so that all the airports you departed from and arrived at are all reduced to a single point -- The Airport -- with only your overland travels depicted around it. Now imagine doing the same to all the long straight lines of freeway travel, collapsing every on-ramp and off-ramp you ever took into The Exit.

What would the radius of your tactile life experiences be, if we disregard the kinda-sorta "slow teleportation" of shuttling in containers? Would you (virtually) have been born, lived, and died in a smallish circle, similar to the proverbial medieval peasant? I think that our social elites lives in the most insidious monocultural bubble: one specifically designed to fool them into thinking that they aren't in one at all.

Democrats' Karen Prime and AWFL Emeritus for Life Aftyn Behn Is Getting Crazier and Angrier By the Moment

The hits keep coming with the Democrats' candidate for the Nashville district, Aftyn Behn.


Democratic Tennessee congressional candidate Aftyn Behn sobbed and screamed at the top of her lungs as security removed her from Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's office in resurfaced footage from April 2019.

Behn and other women with the activist group, Enough is Enough-Tennessee, staged a sit-in inside the state capitol and demanded to speak to Lee about calling for the resignation of the then-Republican state Rep. David Byrd, who was accused of sexual misconduct at the time. The women, including Behn, tried to rush into the governor's office when the doors were open on April 17, 2019, prompting security to remove her from the premises.

Footage posted by NewsChannel 5 Nashville shows security dragging Behn out of the office as she screamed at the top of her lungs. She then sat on her knees and sobbed on the floor.

Behn was asked about prior tweets in which she urged the burning of police stations to the ground as part of the George Floyd Insurrection.

She refuses to acknowledge those tweets -- but she goes further than that.


Did you catch that? Not only does she refuse to disown her tweets calling for police stations to be burned down in the past, but she refuses to say that she does not believe police stations should be burned down in the present.

From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: She absolutely refuses to un-endorse burning down police stations.

Q: Representative, in 2020 you made some tweets that have since been deleted, that were very critical of police. You said, in those since-deleted tweets, that the Metropolitan Police Department in Nashville should be dissolved, another shared on a teacher's union tweet that Defund the Police should be a requirement for schools reopening, and another saying "Good morning to the 54% of Americans who believe that burning down a police station is justified." 2020 was a very fraught year. Do you still stand by those comments, and if not, is there anything you want to clarify?

BEHN: Uh-- I'm not going to engage in cable-news talking points, but what I will say is our communities need solutions, we need local people deciding, solving local problems with local solutions. And that's not the overreach of a federal government or a state government, of which we are dealing with in Nashville and our cities across the state of Tennessee.

This is not just a case of her being coy about whether those tweets were hers or refusing to denounce her own past statements. Even when simply asked, ignoring the tweets, do you now believe, yes or no, that police stations should be burned to the ground, she refuses to say she doesn't. She doesn't want to alienate the antifa/trantifa shock troops.

This deep thinker also rejects the 2021 thinking that women give birth to babies -- not men -- and wants to speak only of "birthers," no sex noted, to include both male and female birthers.

She then believes that she can organize some kind of "collective bargaining" by bringing together both the female birthers and the male birthers, who, let us be clear, are also female birthers, so I don't know how this flakey retard thinks she has expanded the pool of "birthers" in order to add to the "collective bargaining" "leverage."


BEHN: I think, as an organizer and as an activist, like, we really have an opportunity here in this country to talk about what kind of policy -- progressive policies we want to see as young women. And I think we have, as birthers, as women who can give birth, men and women who can give birth, we can maybe leverage that as collective bargaining. That is the basis of this book that I'm not -- I've just started reading called Birthstrike, and how we can really leverage collective bargaining when it comes to having children in this country. And so, for example, like, I'm not going to give birth until the United States government concedes A, B, C, D. What do you think about that?

Q: Hmmm. Seems a little much.

BEHN: Really?

Unfortunately, this will hardly matter. American leftists have degenerated into absolute viral insanity and barbarity, and they're openly proud to support insanity and even murder.

Update: Yes, as we all suspected, the fact that this woman is obviously mentally ill is no barrier to other mentally ill women supporting her.

Ed Morrissey quotes a new Emmerson poll -- it's a virtual tie.

A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey of the special election for US Congress in Tennessee's 7th district finds 48% of voters support Republican Matt Van Epps and 46% support Democrat Aftyn Behn. Two percent plan to vote for one of three third-party candidates on the ballot, and 5% are undecided. When undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean toward, Van Epps' overall support increases to 49%, and Behn to 47%.

"The special election in Tennessee's 7th District will come down to what groups are motivated to turnout on election day, and who stays home," Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said.

Unfortunately, that's true. I have the same sick feeling I did in Trump's first term. We just kept high-fiving each other over the 2016 win while we lost in 2018 and 2020. We just keep dancing over the same first-quarter touchdown while Democrats run up the score on us.

8 It was a Trump +22 district.
What this shows is that the GOP brand is associated with fat old white retirees who don't give a shit about the working class (but shure do love us some country music!). That's the Cornyn/Graham demo.
Trump won because he convinced voters he is not Cornyn or Graham.

9 At some point you will realize that democracy is mob rule, as the Founders themselves believed. Letting useless people vote is a recipe for the suicide John Adams predicted. You either keep whining about this, or you act accordingly. The good thing about useless people is that they depend on others to survive. This is also the bad thing about them, but it makes them totally vulnerable. The non-useless people have to consent to be fleeced by the useless people.

80 The problem with very clearly pointing out that a candidate is batshit crazy, and just hoping that's all you have to do, shaming people into not voting for them, is that when they still win you are creating a very clear incentive structure for crazy.

The left is doing this because they see Trump as crazy. Because they're told he is and they believe that because they are crazy. So their counter is to elect someone crazy with the basic issue here being that they are already all pretty damned crazy. So you have to pick increasingly very crazy people as the base crazy level is already high so that the crazy candidate stands out. It's a moving target getting crazier and crazier.

And the GOP is complicit in this by not devoting every effort and waking moment to defeating them and putting them down like the rabid dogs they are. See the last elections in Virginia for more information. I don't understand why people can't get this through their heads, you cannot shame democrat voters out of voting for democrats. You can demoralize them. Focus on them and make them so miserable they give up. And you can motivate your base. This is all there is now.

No one seems to know what time it is.

This walk back is likely to allow family notification to happen.

We win an election and think the fight is over while the left immediately goes to work to undermine or overturn those election results. Violently most of the time.

@wvgovernor

It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country. We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues.

Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act.

127 Nashville Banner, November 8, 2025, In part -

WORKING FAMILIES PARTY: The Working Families Party on Monday endorsed Aftyn Behn for Congress in Tennessee’s tight District 7 special election in an attempt to secure another progressive win. The party, fresh off of recent wins for New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson, is hoping to push Behn, a similarly progressive candidate with an unusual shot in a traditionally conservative district, to victory on December 2. “Aftyn Behn has spent years working to improve the lives of working families as a social worker, a community organizer, and an elected official,” Amirah Sequeira, Director of Federal Affairs for the Working Families Party, said in a release. “Her relentless focus on the affordability crisis and the issues impacting everyday people in Tennessee have shown how working-class candidates can be competitive even in deep red seats.” Behn’s opponent is Trump-endorsed Republican Matt Van Epps. Early voting has begun and will continue through Nov. 26. — Sarah Grace Taylor

Murdering NG soldiers is a shark bump to see how little Trump's failed government will react. Trump will do nothing. We will get a few more shark bumps and also zero response other than strong words by a weak and ineffective DOJ.

It's early 2027, a group of Democrats, having won Congress in 2026, accompany Trump on a visit to Israel where he suffers a heart atteck and dies.

The undertaker tells the American Diplomats accompanying him, "You can have him shipped home for $1,000,000 or you can bury him here in the Holy Land for just $100."

The American Diplomats go into a corner to discuss for a few minutes.

They return and tell him they want Trump shipped home.

The puzzled undertaker asks,"why would you spend $1,000,000 to ship him home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $100?"

The American Diplomats reply, " Long ago a man died here, was buried here and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can't take the risk."

DOJ Employee Charged With Terrorism For Doxxing Fellow Federal Agents

She doxxed them in the midst of a raid, at the point of maximum danger.

A staffer for the U.S. Department of Justice is facing state-level terrorism charges in South Texas after authorities say she exposed the identity of a federal agent during an immigration-related raid, triggering what investigators called a credible threat against the agent's life.

Cameron County officials arrested Karen Olvera De Leon, an employee with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas in Brownsville, following a criminal indictment alleging she posted the agent's personal information in the middle of an active law-enforcement operation. She has been charged with one count of terrorism and one count of tampering with physical evidence.

District Attorney Luis Saenz said the case began on June 9, when federal agents executed a raid in Brownsville and bystanders began livestreaming the operation. As the video spread across social media, viewers flooded the comment section. Investigators say one user issued what they deemed a death threat toward the federal agent shown on screen. Moments later, another commenter publicly revealed the agent's identity.

So there's very little doubt that she understood what she was doing might lead to the agent's murder.



According to Saenz, authorities traced the doxxing back to Olvera De Leon, a DOJ employee tasked with supporting federal prosecutions.

...

Just weeks after the Brownsville doxxing incident, a gunman in tactical gear opened fire at a U.S. Border Patrol building near McAllen International Airport. Police and Border Patrol agents engaged the shooter and ultimately killed him, but not before a McAllen officer was wounded.

She looks like a real Sad Sack unwanted AWFL, except Hispanic.

She'll be trading in her Trader Joe's Box Wine for Prison Toilet Wine.

sadsackawful.jpg

These women are filthy and disgusting. They support murder, and they crow righteously about their support of murder.

Speaking of seditious federal employees: Judge Boasberg.


Calls for the impeachment of James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, have intensified throughout this year.

What began as a partisan reaction to a single ruling has morphed into a broader debate about judicial ethics, political influence and the role of federal courts. The question now is whether Chief Justice John Roberts will act.

The initial push for impeachment came in March, after Judge Boasberg issued an order temporarily blocking the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport purported members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang designated as a foreign terrorist organization.

President Trump responded sharply on social media, calling Boasberg a "Radical Left Lunatic," and posting on X that the judge "should be IMPEACHED!!!"


That same day, Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill and five co-sponsors introduced articles of impeachment alleging Boasberg used "his judicial position to advance political gain" and obstructed "the President's constitutional prerogatives." The proposal drew some division within the Republican Party. Sen. John Kennedy, R.-La., called the proposal "idiotic," and Sen. John Cornyn, R.-Texas said, "You don't impeach judges who make decisions you disagree with."

Of course John Cornyn said that. Let's definitely send him back to the Senate, Texas.


The uproar also prompted a rare public statement from Chief Justice John Roberts: "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

...

Impeachment pressure intensified after Just the News reported that months before his Alien Enemies Act ruling, Boasberg traveled to Idaho to attend a privately-funded Rodel Institute legal conference. The conference's sponsors and speakers had publicly criticized Trump on immigration and January 6, and one of the conference sessions was titled "Role of Judges in a Democracy."

Critics argued that Boasberg's attendance created at least the appearance of bias. Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said on the John Solomon Reports podcast that Boasberg's attendance at the Rodel Institute conference was "a creation of, obviously, a conflict of interest, at least in appearance" and that "when you have cases like this, you have to be absolutely above reproach."


...

Additional reporting revealed that Boasberg had spoken out about his belief that the Trump administration might disregard federal court rulings and provoke a constitutional crisis during a meeting of the Judicial Conference of the United States.

DOJ files misconduct complaint against Boasberg

...

The Department of Justice subsequently filed a misconduct complaint with the D.C. Circuit's Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan, alleging that Boasberg violated Canons 1, 2(A), and 3(A)(6) of the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges. These canons require federal judges to "uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary," "act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary," and to avoid "mak[ing] public comments on the merits of a matter pending or impending in any court."

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the complaint publicly, saying that Boasberg's comments "undermined the integrity of the judiciary." DOJ urged Judge Srinivasan to refer the matter to a special investigative committee to determine whether Boasberg's conduct constituted "conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts."

And then it turned out, surprise surprise, that this leftwing reliable Rubber Stamp had been "randomly" assigned as the judge in the Arctic Frost fishing expedition, and, get this, the leftwing reliable Rubber Stamp reliably rubber stamped all the subpoenas to spy on Congressmen, and quite illegally ordered the subjects of the subpoenas to keep them secret from the Republican congressmen targeted.

But John Cornyn supports this illegal spying on his fellow Republican Senators. (Cornyn wasn't surveilled, of course!)

Impeachment efforts gained traction again late last month after Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a set of subpoenas issued during former Special Counsel Jack Smith's election-related investigation into Trump. The investigation, known internally at the FBI as "Arctic Frost," involved 197 subpoenas seeking records on roughly 430 Republican individuals and entities, according to committee documents.

The news brought Boasberg back into the spotlight as he signed the subpoenas and nondisclosure orders.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called on Boasberg to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding this role in the once-secret surveillance of Republican senators. "An Obama-appointed activist judge, James Boasberg, ordered [Verizon] not to tell me about Jack Smith's subpoena for my phone records, falsely claiming I might destroy so-called evidence," Blackburn posted on X. "He must answer before the Senate Judiciary Committee for this blatant abuse of power."

30 Boasberg has been the subject of too many cases he *raced* to get assigned to himself, and too many of those have been overturned once he ruled against the administration. There should be a ruling that he is ethically compromised from ruling on any more cases involving the current administration.

People in this state are rather pissed off at Cornyn. Me among them. I want to send him back to DC - only because that is where his home is now. He has not been a Texan for quite some time. Besides, if reelected, not only will he continue being an asshole as chronicled here, he will be 80 in 2032.

Read a thing saying Cornyn (aka Bush) had poured so much $ advertising that he was coming up in the polls so much that Hunt jumped in. Hunt's got an impressive personal record. Anyway, Hunt is pulling votes from Cornyn and that's a good thing.

There's also that idea that what radicalized Hitler was all those people coming back from the future trying to kill him as a kid.

Hitler had a "spiritual" protector though. One night before his camp was bombed in WWI a loud shout in his dream telling him to "Get out!" woke him suddenly, and he ran from the camp, only to witness the camp get bombed.

253 >> They KNEW it was improper to seek the records but did it anyway because they weren't planning on charging the Senators so they figured "no harm, no foul," the constitution be damned!

I honestly don’t think people appreciate how hard and deep the effort is to undermine our country, and what it will look like if Democrats ever take power again. No constitutional right, no law, no regulation, no court stands in the way of what they want to do. Not a single offender has been brought to justice. In fact the Democrats who perpetrated these crimes are being freed one at a time by their subversives in the judiciary. The current attempt to undermine Trump is still a whole of government approach, and also involves NGO’s and foreign actors.

You can’t simply show up for one election, then sit back and complain. This is the point at which you persevere to preserve a future for the next generation. You can rest assured Democrats are not resting, are marshalling their forces and making certain they undermine the electoral process to the point you will never see a fair election again.

And nobody is stopping them. Especially the caitiffs in Congress.

I have a theory that The Trump Administration 2.0 is on a doxxing campaign. Basically he is letting the Left out themselves as deserving extreme justice (e.g. Sedition, Treason, Terrorism, etc.) he is making the case before the public.

The DOJ, including Patel and Bongino are not making arrests nor making any indictments because two things:
• everyone knows that Democrats are above the law and the law does not apply to them.
• telling Men of Action that there are no consequences for vigilantism.

As was mentioned before, they are laying down the kindling. There will be a flare, and there is no question as to who needs to be returned to Hell with extreme prejudice.

284 Shooting near White House: Two National Guard soldiers killed; suspect injured
TOI World Desk / TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Updated: Nov 27, 2025, 02:44 IST

In part, "Two National Guard soldiers were killed on Wednesday after a shooting near the White House in Washington DC. President Trump made a statement, assuring action, while also confirming that the shooter was wounded.
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey confirmed that the two National Guard died. The state has deployed its troops to the US capital on the orders of Trump.
“It is with great sorrow that we confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC, have succumbed to their injuries,” Morrisey said on X. “These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country.”

Rod Blagojevich: Obama Hadn't Even Joined the Senate Yet, and Michelle Obama Was Already on the Phones Demanding Democrats Arrange a Political Patronage Job for Her

I shan't believe this.

I simply shannot.

Remember when Michelle Obama was claiming to be Oppressed because, allegedly, she "couldn't work for two years" during the political campaign?

Well, the moment Obama's Senate campaign was over, she decided it was time to Cash In.


Blagojevich painted Obama as a calculating, self-serving politician who wasn't quite the ethical paragon he portrayed himself to be. "He's one of the more selfish people in politics on a one-on-one level," Blagojevich said, "and he's not pure like the driven snow in the sense of his ethics or morality." The former governor described Obama as "kind of cold and impersonal, but okay," and admitted he was initially happy to be helpful to the rising political star.

But the real bombshells came when Blagojevich discussed Michelle Obama's corrupt job hunt. According to Blagojevich, as soon as Barack Obama won his Senate race in 2004, Michelle felt entitled to get a high-paying patronage position somewhere. "I was asked to make a phone call on behalf of Michelle Obama 'cause as soon as he won the Senate race, she wanted a job either at Northwestern University or the University of Chicago Hospitals for two to $300,000 a year, the wife of the new senator," Blagojevich revealed.

"Northwestern was willing to pay $200,000 to hire her. This is the wife of the new U.S. senator," and obviously the position would bode well for any institution due to the potential for more federal money, he explained. Blagojevich noted that Michelle Obama ultimately got a better offer. "They got a better offer at the University of Chicago, which is in Hyde Park, where they're from, $300,000, and she ended up working there," he said. Blagojevich made the requested phone call, though he downplayed his role. "She didn't get it 'cause of me, but it didn't hurt to have the governor call."

He also discusses the Tony Resko real estate scam. The Obamas could not afford the mansion they wanted (as soon as Obama was elected to the Senate) with the extensive property they wanted. So the Obamas bought the mansion on one lot and had Tony Rezko buy the adjoining, not-built-upon lot "for himself" -- but he never did anything with it. He bought it so he could keep it in his name for the Obamas.

The mansion they bought with "their own money" was $7.5 million so you can imagine this adjoining lot was worth around a million itself.


What particularly galled Blagojevich was how Obama treated Rezko once the real estate developer became a political liability. "Rezko was really helpful, really helpful to Obama," he emphasized, explaining that when investigations heated up involving fundraising with Rezko as part of it, "Obama just ran from him, did nothing to help him, and pretends like he never knew him."


In case you missed it: The world's most miserable do-nothing millionaire Michelle Obama says black people can't swim because white people force them (like slaves) to straighten their hair all day long.

The former first lady, in a live podcast, recently said: "Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern. So, when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness.

"That's why so many of us can't swim, and we run away from the water. People won't go to the gym because we're trying to keep our hair straight for y'all. It is exhausting, and it is so expensive, and it takes up so much time!"

Who knew that black women straighten their hair to conform to the expectations of whites? Even worse, who knew this oppressive white standard of beauty, according to Obama, has the real-world effect of preventing black kids from learning to swim?


Black people's hair is the new cotton field, pass it on.

Posted by: mr tmz at November 26, 2025 02:19 PM (rJ48h)

48 I heard that real estate deal a bit different, but I don't know if there was hard evidence.

What I heard is that the mansion and lot were being sold as one parcel and the land was stripped out and sold to Rezko in order to reduce the price the Obamas paid. Most of the value was then in the land, which he did not develop, but "held" so the Obamas got the building for a greatly reduced price. (the land was worth more than the building, which is often the case for old properties in high value locations.)

And she used that position to run a patient-dumping scheme at the hospital.

Michelle Obama's Patient-Dumping Scheme

The First Lady helped create a notorious program that dumped poor patients on community hospitals, yet the national media ignore the story. Imagine if her husband were a Republican.

Mrs. Obama first hatched the UCMC program as the "South Side Health Collaborative," which featured a gang of "counselors" whose job it was to "advise" low-income patients that they would be better off at other hospitals and clinics. The program was so successful in getting rid of unwanted patients that she expanded it, gave it a new name, and hired none other than David Axelrod to sell the program to the public. According to the Sun-Times, "Obama's wife and Valerie Jarrett, an Obama friend and adviser who chairs the medical center's board...

I knew black girls in the 90s who only washed their hair once a week. Some have very fragile hair and it does not wash well. They keep it dry and oiled. It apparently is a real pain. So they use wigs or weaves, but that is another set of problems.

This has nothing to do with whites, but they are used to blaming everything on whites so why not. We are Christlike in our ability to absorb their sins without putting the lot of them onto boats back to the jungle.

You must not watch professional or college sports.

About 18% of active NFL players have dreadlocks or braids, and defensive players account for 60% of this group.

Dreadlocks are a very common hairstyle among college football players, reflecting a similar trend observed in the NFL where they make up a vast majority of long-haired players. The nature of the sport, with players wearing helmets, helps manage practical concerns like hair-pulling during tackles, which are legal as hair is considered part of the uniform in the NFL.

Love interest protagonist #1 is a campaign consultant for a grifting scummy pol that's being groomed for big things.

The setup is nobody likes the pol and he could never win. Any money given to the pol by the party would just be wasted. But he's THE guy, very compromised, so the party has an idea. Stand up someone on the other side, make them crazy, and pour tons of money and advertising into their campaign. Everyone will pick scummy guy just so crazy doesn't win.

Love interest #2, childhood friend of #1, lost touch after high school. Can't stand her town. Hates living there.

#2 agrees to be the terrible candidate, but won't accept money. She just hates the town and has fun with gonzo terrible campaign events. Lots of funny hijinks. Turns out she actually loves her town and the people after she gets to know them.

In the meantime #1 and #2 fall in love.

Also the voters really start preferring the terrible crazy candidate #2.

Scummy pol tries to take her out but she's saved heroically by #1

In the finale, she wins the election, then #1 and #2 live happily ever after.

The individuals were Clinton, Kerry, and Bill Richardson...and neither of them knew that the other two had been made the same promise. Eventually, he won the election, and Clinton received the position. The other two found out via the news media.

Tired of holiday pressure and obligations. Of feelings of shame and failure.

Tired of objective reality being torn down by a cadre of megalomaniacs so they can impose their bloody, self-serving "utopia" in which they own everything, we own nothing, and all morals and boundaries are torn away.

Just really fucking tired.

176 As someone with stick straight hair that frizzes when there's one drop of water in the air, who always wanted curly hair, I've always thought natural black hair was extremely beautiful.

I'm sorry the liberal white women in her orbit are so racist, they've made her feel lesser than for her natural hair. But that's not my problem.

She also acts like it's only black women that have to go to the salon. Because white women, especially those that color or perm their hair, don't exist apparently.

A lot of this is the natural human emotion to want something that you don’t have. Black girls with curly hair spend tons of money so their hair looks straight like Asian girls. Asian girls with straight hair that blacks would murder for spend money adding curls to their hair. Whites spend money on tanning beds and lotions to look darker. Darker-skinned blacks want to be lighter. Etc etc etc.

193 What I heard is that the mansion and lot were being sold as one parcel and the land was stripped out and sold to Rezko in order to reduce the price the Obamas paid. Most of the value was then in the land, which he did not develop, but "held" so the Obamas got the building for a greatly reduced price. (the land was worth more than the building, which is often the case for old properties in high value locations.)

Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at November 26, 2025 02:19 PM

The Property Deals: In June 2005, Obama and his wife Michelle purchased a $1.65 million house in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago. Simultaneously, Tony Rezko's wife, Rita Rezko, purchased the adjacent vacant lot for $625,000. The original sellers required both parcels to be sold at the same time.

Price Disparity: The sellers dropped the asking price for the house by $300,000 for the Obamas, while the lot price remained high, which critics suggested might indicate Rezko had done Obama a favor. Obama's campaign stated the house had been on the market for some time and the lot had another offer, justifying the price differences.

Land Strip Sale: Months later, the Obamas bought a 10-foot-wide strip of the adjacent lot from Mrs. Rezko for $104,500 to expand their yard, a price they maintained was fair market value.

Rezko's Financial Situation and Indictment: The controversy intensified because the land purchase by Mrs. Rezko occurred when Tony Rezko was deeply in debt and facing lawsuits from creditors.

Mooch already had a make-work job at the University of Chicago Hospitals, created for her when her husband became a state senator.

When Barack became a US senator, the U of C responded by tripling her salary, but kept her in the same job.

When Barack became President, the U of C abolished the job.

Then Michelle went on at that hospital to violate EMTALA Federal Law. I read (years ago, so no source) that she wanted to avoid the poors and downtrodden coming there by ambulance and would have them sent to other hospitals like Chicago General Hospital. To protect their stats for Joint Commission. I remain positive, until someone tells me otherwise, that this is why she lost her law license.

You NEVER divert ambulances unless the ED is full and there is no staff or room. Or the power is out, etc.

Busy here with prep for tomorrow's dinner. We are making traditional sides (well, traditional for Southern redneck that I brought to the table). I am famous for my Pecan Pie, so I am also making that.

I know that this is really hard to believe, but, there are actually Caucasian, Asian, and Latino women born with all types of hair including curly hair. Amazing!

Swimming - The reasons are many - adult blacks that don't know how to swim are double than the adult pop in general. Urban living with lack of access to pools and swim lessons, fear of water, etc. When I joined the Coast Guard and we started our indoor swimming trials in an Olympic size pool, there was a smaller, shallow pool next to it where black recruits who didn't know how to swim were giving swimming lessons first. They were mostly from the Southern rural areas or North Eastern cities. All races but blacks had to know how to swim to even be considered for enlistment in the CG.

Incredible: A Jury Voted Unanimously to Convict Yet Another Somali Fraudster, Calling His Guilt "Obvious."
Then the Leftwing Judge Set Aside Their Verdict and Set the Somali Free, Based On Her "Feelings."

The Somalis scammed the government's welfare programs again. The Somalis here ripped off the American citizens for $7.2 million, running a scam organization that supposedly delivered health care to poor people out of his mailbox, and spending that money on luxury goods and sports cars.

The prosecutors proved that 94% of the money they stole from the government went into their own pockets.

Jurors found him guilty, unanimously.


Then the "progressive" judge stepped in an invalidated the verdict, saying that in her personal opinion, the prosecutors had not disproven other possibilities besides fraud, like, I guess, the possibility that they accidentally stole this money and intended to deliver it to the poor at some future date. (Were they planning on returning their luxury goods and cars? How much did they expect to get back for used luxury goods?)

SUICIDAL EMPATHY: A Minnesota Democrat judge just overturned a unanimous jury verdict in a $7.2M Medicaid fraud case, freeing Islamic defendant Abdi Fatah Yusuf. Jurors say the evidence was overwhelming.

Despite a swift unanimous verdict, Judge Sarah S. West, a former public defender, acquitted Abdi Fatah Yusuf on all charges after jurors found he and his wife ran a fake home-health business out of a mailbox and stole $7.2M in Medicaid funds. Jurors say they are stunned because the evidence of fraud, overbilling and luxury spending was "obvious." Community pressure and political considerations are now being blamed for the decision. Yusuf walks free while taxpayers eat the loss.

Abdi will get to keep his new wardrobe from Coach, Canada Goose, Michael Kors, Third Degree Heat, Nike, and Nordstrom and his [new top-end sportscar,] a Porsche 911.

h/t @WallStreetApes

Suicidal empathy? Or personal enrichment?

This is outrageous -- and considering the *fact* that Somalia is the world's most corrupt country, we have to investigate this judge's finances and the finances of her friends and family for a payoff.

This is -- or was -- the nation's "biggest Medicaid fraud case."

The prosecutors are appealing the judge's corrupt negation of the law.


Meanwhile, it sure seems that a sizable fraction of the Somalis we allowed into this country view us as outsiders to their tribe, not deserving of the usual dignity and respect one affords to people within the tribe.

And I say that because they're committing crimes against native-born Americans as if they view us as an enemy tribe it's ethically permissible to rob and abuse.

Leftists meanwhile excuse the criminality as showing they're just cool capitalists who know how to abuse an easy mark.

Obviously white people would not be excused for preying on minorities, stealing from them, even raping them. You know this from the simple fact that anytime there is a Race Hoax, which there is once a month, the entire leftwing establishment goes crazy to say "This must not be normalized!"

Well, it's not normalized. It's the opposite of normalized. It's so rare, in fact, that racist agitators have to invent hate crimes against them.

The left has established that Racism -- Racial Superiority -- is the worst of all conceivable crimes.

Yet we have people coming into the western countries and treating the native populations as if they are sub-humans, fit for rape, robbery, and murder. Some of these Cultural Enrichers act as if they believe westerners are a prey species they have a divine right to predate upon.

And no one says boo. Because, of course, only white people or westerners can be Racist. Other people treating other races as if they are subhuman are just acting in accordance with Cultural Norms Which Must be Respected and also might just be getting some Justified Reparations from Colonizers (even though it's the migrants who are colonizing the west).

Do I get to say "This must not be normalized, racial hatred must be called out as evil and extirpated from the earth," or nah?

Nah, right?

Sadly, a lot of this blame has to be laid at the feet of supposedly well meaning but financially strapped Churches across America. In Minnesota, it was mostly the Lutherans, but the Mormons have done this, and of course the Roman Catholic Church is guilty as well.
Here was the play - as populations aged, all of these church organizations found themselves more and more strapped for cash, but they discovered this marvelous government program that reimbursed them several times over for bringing "refugees" into America and resettling them. This quickly became a vast profit making operation across the US. In Somalia, the local Lutheran Churches "sponsored" thousands of Somali immigrants, and made millions of tax free dollars for doing it.

109 Mayhaps I am confused - partly due to the abundance of stunningly yuuuuge fraud cases in MN involving Somali sorts and public/charity funds - but is this the case where one of the defendants, brother of the main defendant, was acquitted due to lack of evidence? Guess not from the details given here. Court concluded the involvement of the brother hadn't been proven. Must be another case.

But isn't it wonderful that there are so many "historic" fraud cases in MN by Somalis that one can't keep them straight?

Meaning, if it must be spelled out, that this overrides all other laws, all institutions, all constitutions. For the simple reason that if the Public has no safety, then there is NO law, and very soon there will be no nation, as it collapses into chaos and civil war.

To put it another way - things we enjoy, such as civil liberties, are downstream from the safety needed to conduct our lives. Without the second, one can never have the first.

127 It's automatic that, prior to the case being sent to the jury, the defense makes a motion to dismiss, claiming the prosecution has failed to make its case. So this judge, Sarah West, had a perfect opportunity to throw the case out. Yet chose to send the case to the jury where they quickly found the perp guilty. So throwing out the verdict AFTER a jury verdict and AFTER over-ruling a motion to dismiss, it's clear this judge was either bribed, threatened or politically shamed into doing what she did. Judical corruption, not matter what.

Posted by: kallisto at November 26, 2025 01:24 PM (dCxaZ)


The problem is that the answer depends on so many variables such as your weight, your pace or time walked, the average slope of your walk. You can put it sample data into a calorie calculator and see how little activity 3 miles/day actually is when it comes to burning calories.

For example, 190#, 3 miles, 1 hour, flat ground burns about 350 calories, which is less than about two average snacks, and it is also about the difference in recommended caloric intake between sedentary 31-50 yo woman and active 31-50 yo woman (1,800 v 2,200) for just maintaining weight.

So, yeah, you're probably right to call BS, because if you really want to lose weight, it will take discipline to curb poor eating and/or dedication to a more vigorous exercise routine that burns more calories than that two snacks or that "splurge" sugary mocha.

140 So I guess Minnesomalia is now just like the UK, where they have decided to get rid of jury trials for most crimes.

How long before the Marxist left decides this should be the norm in the USA as well. Or just bypasses this and has their corrupt judges do it on their own like this Minnesomalia judge did.

The UK government, under Justice Secretary David Lammy, has proposed radical reforms to the criminal justice system in England and Wales. These changes would eliminate jury trials for the vast majority of serious criminal cases, reserving them only for the most grave offenses like murder, rape, and manslaughter. All other cases — such as assaults, burglaries, frauds, and sexual offenses not involving rape — would be decided by a single judge alone.

144 The specific legal reason this ruling needs to be overturned:

Except that's what the Prosecution's job is.
It is the Defense which is supposed to present other explanations, and try to make them sound plausible.
It is the Juries job to decide.
And the Judges only true job is to preside.

This Judge wrongfully characterized the Prosection's case, ignored the Defense, and inserted herself as a Jury of One in complete defiance of all law.

That waterhead mayor of Chicago Johnson was whining the other day after that Chicago can't end its crime problem by putting people in prison. Bukele answered by saying that is the entire point of prison and posted a graph that perfectly illustrates that when El Salvador started handing out stiff sentences to violent criminals the violent crime rate cratered.

150 Found another case this Judge handled. Some guy with a list of felonies (Terrel Brown) in his history (we're talking over 10 previous felonies)....entered a bar with a gun and attempted to kill some guy. He failed, but was arrested on about 11 different charges, most felonies and put into the system. The first Judge (not West) ignored the severity and history and took the assigned five year term (which was low anyway)...and put him on a work release program and a half way house. To which he didn't show up.

West got the case when he was captured for violating his sentence and instead of tossing him in prison for the five year term. SHE, gave him the work release program again, and gave him time served for the period in which he didn't show up. This Judge is on a mission...

192 The combo of an idiotic electorate, corrupt election process, and the Legal Cult is a touch one to overcome.

The Cult still has a death-grip (term used advisedly) over 99.5% of all lawyers and judges and even "conservative" politicals, including the current administration. Simplified version: this cult is one that cannot even imagine repudiation of any court at any level for any unlawful or destructive action, regardless of consequences to national ssecurity, public safety, or the (remnants of) constitutional order.

My favorite was a district judge in the last few months who took and started ruling in an immigration case the kind of which he is expressly excluded from hearing by the Immigration Act, as amended. A simple - and scorching and vitriolic - letter from the DOJ excoriating the judge for violating the law, and informing him that his court would properly be ignored in this matter, was all that was needed. Instead, mewllng compliance.

Such an action would also give the pathetic SCOTUS its final chance to try and rescue some of the legitimacy of the system, by disciplining the inferior courts - its responsibility.

196 Islam, there is no such thing as "raping" a 12-year-old girl.

Females exist for the purpose of being semen receptacles. Anything else is unnatural. The "opinion" of the female on the matter is irrelevant, since she does not have a human soul, and thus can not have an opinion.

This is the reality of Islam. It's so antithetical to "Western civilization" that mst Americans cant even wrap their minds around it, and refuse to accept the truth.

It is interesting to note that, around the mid-'70s, the Twin Cities (and Minnesota?) took in a large number of Hmong tribesfolk from Laos. They chose to assimilate, as they had worked with U.S. forces in S.E. Asia. I'd guess that having worked toward a common cause helped make that happen.

We do not have a common cause with the Somalis, and now we are reaping the fruits of that. When Ilhan Omar speaks of her obligation to Somalia despite being a representative for this country, could that absence of a common cause be any clearer?

Axios: Your Turkey Has a Carbon Footprint and You Are Destroying the Environment by Celebrating Thanksgiving

Of course, of course.

You probably won't ponder your carbon footprint when you sit down to devour that Thanksgiving turkey -- but some food and climate activists say you should.

Why it matters: With climate change fading in importance on some U.S. lawmakers' priority lists, activists say even small steps from the public are needed.

The big picture: The beloved bird is considered more environmentally friendly than beef. But turkey still produces, in production and post-production, the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming -- even more than chicken, according to the Environmental Working Group.

"Raising and processing a four-ounce turkey serving is the equivalent of nearly three miles' worth of tailpipe emissions," said Iris Myers, the group's senior communications manager.

A four ounce turkey?

Axios is a professionally edited media publication.

In 2016, Carnegie Mellon researchers calculated the state-by-state footprint of a typical feast, including roast turkey stuffed with sausage and apples, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.

They found that meals prepared in Washington state and Vermont emitted the lowest amounts of carbon dioxide. Hydropower and wind provide about two-thirds of Washington's energy. while renewables provide almost all of Vermont's.

States that rely more on coal, such as Wyoming, West Virginia and Kentucky, had the highest Turkey Day emissions, the researchers found.

This is important research that I have been compelled to fund.

By the numbers: Thrown-away food is a big contributor to climate change. A new analysis by the anti-food waste group ReFED estimates that 320 million pounds of food will get tossed out this Thanksgiving.

That's the equivalent of more than 800,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or about the same as driving 190,000 gasoline-powered vehicles for a year, ReFED said.

Of those emissions, 4,800 metric tons of methane -- a potent greenhouse gas -- come from sending that food to landfills.

The bottom line: "Try not to buy more bird than you and your family will eat," Myers said.

Wellllll... generally I would say of course no one should buy and cook more food than they expect to eat, but Thanksgiving is an exception, because, of course, no one knows how many relatives and guests will show up. People make "too much food" because they don't want neighbors to show up without anything to offer them.

But most people will wind up eating most of that over the course of the week.

Thank you for ruining literally everything, Sanctimonious Sociopaths Satanic-Religious Fanatics.

Speaking of your carbon footprint: It is now cheaper to expand your carbon footprint than it's been since, well, Trump's first term.

Gas prices -- and food prices, and rent prices -- are at their lowest levels since covid shutdowns and Biden's printing of trillions of fake dollars.


Is everyone ready?

And is everyone here? Or are you already playing hooky?

I'm playing half-hooky. I wrote a bunch of posts last night and did a couple this morning so I'm kind of done for the day unless there's some breaking news. Knock wood!

Today's blogging won't be good. I aimed for "barely acceptable" and I nearly hit that mark. I figure most of you are tuned out, and the news is slow before and during holidays. (Again, knock wood.)


I have to run out to the store to get the holiday branded "Creamy Vanilla" Coke Zero. The store I tried to order from was out. I guess this is a new version of Vanilla Coke.

Question for you cooks: I have both an electronic thermometer and those little plastic pop-up turkey thermometers. Do those little plastic ones work well? If they're a couple of years old, do they still work?

Garsh I wouldn't want to produce even one excess CO2 molecule more than strictly necessary!

The pop-up ones are useless and lead to an overcooked bird, and turkey is already difficult enough to make well.

Use your electronic one.

If you want to invest in a really good one, get a Thermapen One. Yes it's $90 but it's also the Ferrari of meat thermometers.

29 Self-willowed:

As I started approaching 29, I occasionally found myself indulging in the "If Only"s.

If only I'd done this, if only I'd done that...not that I hated my life or anything like that. I just felt I might've done better.

Then one night I suddenly realized, when I examined the whole idea thoroughly, that any of those changes giving me a "perfect" life, would mean that I wouldn't have the lovely and exciting Mrs naturalfake or the kiddos.

And no that would simply be intolerable. They are the best thing in my life and we as a family, despite our ups and downs, despite some hard times, have been very blessed by God.

And furthermore, I was being a huge dickweed to God by not acknowledging his complete generosity and being grateful for it. So, I decided that I needed to change the way I think.

I try to end every day thanking God for my life and my family I grew up in and my own family now, and for the day.

Anyway, these are the things in my life i'm most thankful for.

83 Re pop up. Ditto--they are unreliable. Electronic with a wireless probe are useful if you have already made sure that it works as to temperature consistency and wireless connectivity.

FWIW, Roasting pans with a cooking rack inside it are useful if cooking something large like a Turkey.

They tend to keep temperatures consistent and moisture in balance so the turkey does not dry out.

High fat content meat does not require it but the drippings from such are usually delicious and well worth using in gravy or other cooking as well.

107 Checking things off this morning before my walk...sweet potato peanut oat crumble is getting finished and put on top of the sweet potato mash for cooking tomorrow. Cran sauce and all pumpkin stuff is done. Daughter's bread it rising and just about ready for the oven (it's huge, so I'm feeling like she made enough).

After the walk, gonna work on tonight's dinner and fruit and cheese prep for tomorrow - can't preslice apples or asian pears, but can do the pineapple and clementines and the hard cheeses.

Decided my fridge wanted me to wait for giblet gravy til tomorrow.

111 Why it matters: With climate change fading in importance on some U.S. lawmakers' priority lists, activists say even small steps from the public are needed.

It'll take a bit, but yes.

Starting the exercise regimen will cause the body to panic store calories, but then will burn them as desired. Of course, a diet must be adhered to as well for maximum effectiveness.

I've seen no studies on their reliability, but the plastic ones are generally now held to be unreliable. Of course, those opinions may come from people who make $100 electronic ones.

What if I never went into music, what if I just took over my father's business, or cut my hair and took that 75K a year job..in 1990, and on and on.

174 Oh boy, a process engineering question! My time to, well not shine, but maybe give off a dim glow if you turn out the lights and squint.

The pop up ones are not as accurate, but they are better than nothing. Their true advantage is that they are placed (generally) at the right depth and that is more important than accuracy. The problem with the electronic ones is people poke them in too deep or too shallow or into the wrong part, or they don't give them time to react.

The plastic is FDA approved (our food sees a lot of plastic before it gets to the table. Many foods are cooked or pasteurized in plastic) and the mechanism is reliable, even when a few years old.

My 4 lb bone-in breast did not totally thaw by this morning so I'm doing the cold water in sink thing.
It's working well.
My question is: since I can't do 24 hrs of salting, is whatever I can manage okay? Probably 18-20 hrs?
Forgive my cluelessness- this is only the second one I've ever cooked.

199 Hi, Crusader

You kindly asked for a Scripture verse earlier. The fellow who normally puts then up ( I'm forgetting his name . Too little sleep) had a very nice one earlier but here is something from the psalms:

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!"

200 I can be a slow learner at times, but one thing I have definitely learned is that overeating is not worth the pain. I actually tend to eat a bit less during the TG meal than a regular dinner because I remember too many times when I didn't, and deeply regretted it.
Posted by: Archimedes at November 26, 2025 12:34 PM (Riz8t)

Through experience I can now reliably reach the “sweet spot” where I’ve eaten an incredible amount but just an eyelash short of being uncomfortable. This takes practice

Told her we'd just do a 2nd fruit-type crumble on Fri/Sat if we run out of a leftover side...I've got discounted Aldi's mixed fruit bags in my freezer that would make it a 5 minute prep.

Glad I kept overall quality control for cooking. She wants to do more to help Thanksgiving, but it's growing pains. Although better she made way too much than too little...

Plural Form of "Symposium"

The plural form of "symposium" is "symposia."
Alternative Plural Form

Another acceptable plural form is "symposiums."
Usage

Symposia is commonly used in academic and formal contexts.
Symposiums is also correct and can be used interchangeably in less formal settings.

Both forms refer to gatherings where experts discuss specific topics or present research.

Lastly, that "typical feast" isn't, at my house. Lamb, roast beast, no apples in my dressing, potato knishes, homemade corn bread, all kinds of veggies (no mushroom soup in anything!), and sometimes a bacon-wrapped turkey breast (because we just won't a whole turkey among 4 of us).

Because of the Biden inflation, a lot of people can't see that in adjusted dollars, it's actually cheaper than what it has been.

However, wages and salaries lost out to inflation during the prime time of inflation-denial when inflation was raging, so I don't know that we've quite caught up to "adjusting for inflation" dollars.

Even an "inaccurate" thermo can be useful if it is consistent. And the "digital" ones are really analog at heart. The sensor is some sort of thermistor, the resistance of which varies with temperature. That feeds into some electronics, and an A/D converter to drive the display.

------

Two things, you gained some muscle, which weighs more than fat. Also, you may have mis-remembered your "before" weight. Because I know when I was training for a half-marathon that running anything more than 10 miles in a go would spike the calories burned to be the equivalent of living TWO days in a one day period. So if you were running and biking and swimming to the level of training that you would need to complete a Triathalon, I bet you didn't gain any weight.

Vanilla was so damn popular a hundred years ago that when marketing strategies were applied to offer bargain versions of everything, it became the default value for a lot of tastes, and was diluted, substituted, and generally looted. You can go through a whole lifetime of just letting vanilla happen by not ordering something ritzier, but if you ever get served real full-strength specialty vanilla, it's a real eye-opener. Also? In the Detroit language circle where "milk" is prnounced "MELK," vanilla is spoken as "va-NELL-uh."

My father was a guitar player in the 50's. He was from the same area as the four seasons and frankie valli, so they somewhat traveled in the same circles. Well, the guitar player at that time got sick, and they needed a replacement for upcoming shows. My father had met with the bass player to go through songs and get up to speed. The original guitar player had recovered and didn't have the longer term illness as they were expecting, so my father didn't need to fill in. My father stayed with his own band and met my mother right after. He would have never met my mother had he got that job.

Strongly disagree. They just don't understand the difference between intention and effect.

They wouldn't want to feel like they don't want people to experience joy, because that sounds like that would make them a bad person. So "Of course" they want joy! (Narcissism) They want to wear all words that sound like they're the better person.

I agree just as much as anybody that the left is about POWER. But that all has to do with the disagreement between intention and consequence. Once you wipe away the clouds of their "good" intent, you're left with the only aspect that contacts reality which is POWER to do their "good intents".

So, that's what ends up being done, especially because you have a bunch of people with academic models swirling in their heads about how the world "should be"--and how it's in their hands to chart a course to there.

Also reality, is human self-interest. Corruption happens in all sorts of Marx-themed systems. Even Xi wants to be rewarded per his "contribution", rather than just feed it into the system to get only what he needs.

439 Repeated or continuous exposure to elemental mercury can result in accumulation of mercury in the body and permanent damage to the nervous system and kidneys. Classic health effects of poisoning include neurological and psychiatric effects, loss of kidney function, and inflammation of the upper airway and throat.

Key being "repeated or continuous". It's pretty hard to get poisoned from casual contact with the stuff. It really won't enter via the skin. Long-term inhalation or ingestion, maybe. The real risk comes from simple or organic salts of the metal. True also for lead.

AlaBAMA Johnson is right. Also, today is the day to make the cranberry relish and start brining the already mostly defrosted turkey. FWIW, we had turkey about a month ago and I used that carcass to make the stock for gravy, so at least that's out of the way.

That's just it. That's why the American left has developed the POV that "unintended consequences" is a "Right-wing talking point."

It's why they always cite their intentions as "solutions" and "at least it does something about X".

They are fully incompetent. Because their lack of concern about whether or not reality behaves according to the predicted academic model almost guarantees they drive us into the ditch.

And on top of all the frustration comes the lure of self-interest in the form of graft. "More for me".

At the lab in college we had an Americium alpha source for testing detection equipment. Alphas go a few cm in the air at best and can't penetrate your skin so the many dire warnings on the box it was in seemed too much. Once I said this to a labmate and told him the only way it could hit much is if you inhaled it. Next day the box had "Do not inhale" on it.

How long is a piece of string? Tell her to put the fork down. (Nicely!, not quite that blunt)

It takes hours to burn off a big spoonful of peanut butter. I lost 80 pounds doing much of nothing, other than ordinary stuff like mowing the lawn and reading AOS comments.

600 to 800 calories - fairly rapid weight loss. 900 to 1100 calories a day a moderate rate. Everything is else is bullshit. It won’t hurt, indeed it will help, but exercise is more or less a distraction from the process. There’s more bullshit out there about fat loss than anything. You can figure out why if you think about it a little bit.

Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving gives us an opportunity to reflect on the good in our lives. The day to day can be dull or even pretty lousy and there will always be particularly bad days and personal disasters. In bad years, many days be will be of this type. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to take a step back and consider our blessings, even when we might otherwise forget that we have them.

Blessings are manifold, despite the tribulations. Thanksgiving is a holiday rooted in tribulation, from the informal celebrations of often hard-pressed colonists in early New England to its relatively recent form first proclaimed during the depths of war in 1863. It wasn't formalized in law until just before WWII, but by then it was a formality (though it did, of course, provide much cause for disagreement in the particulars).

Some are alienated. Some are poor. Some are disabled. Some are depressed. Some are in pain. All of these and more are real, and can feel as if they define us. Stepping back, taking a breath, and counting blessings is important. While many things may be bad, not all things are bad, and Thanksgiving helps us to acknowledge that which is good.

So long as one is able to acknowledge and experience gratitude, Thanksgiving is all things to all men. It is serious and joyful. It is a solemn reflection as well as a lighthearted celebration. It is religious if you want it to be, or secular if that is your preference. Gratitude as such is worth celebrating, and Thanksgiving helps us recognize and celebrate it. Family, faith and the fact of life itself are all worthy of gratitude!

Whatever your situation this Thanksgiving, I fervently hope that you have the opportunity to consider that for which you are thankful, and that your have a joyous and hopeful holiday!

And the Pedocrats are 5% ahead for the midterms. All while the Pedos have done nothing but run a color revolution and release their military auxiliaries.

0ne of the most powerful hymns the church has for Thanksgiving is "Now thank we all our God" by Martin Rinkhart. He was a Lutheran pastor in a walled city during the Thirty Years War . ( 1600s) He wrote it to encourage his children to thank God even in difficult times.

Yup. People consciously don't trust the media. Trust in the media is at a historic low.

But that doesn't mean that the other side gets filled in just because when asked on a poll and you think of it you say you don't trust the media. The ubiquity of the legacy media plays a role, in generally getting people to believe something.

After all, the more you hear a statement the closer your brain comes to perceiving it as true. The brain is even more an organ of recognition than rigor.

In Reno, NV.

At a casino.

Oddly, while driving yesterday I caught an NPR piece on Obamacare and the massive rate increases coming. It went through all the reasons for them and to my surprise it was mostly fair and accurate.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 26, 2025 11:28 AM (npFr7)


They had cases against Trump and were trying to roll up a bunch of people with him too. A wasteful circle jerk, but a dangerous one.

125 I was a teenage NRO-nik back in the day.

I'd split my blog-reading time between there and here.

Then they got far, far too fart-sniffy, and shitcanning Derb was the last straw.

I had a subscription to the Magazine for years. Still retain a few with significant articles. Like you, when Derb was cut I dropped all association with it. I've mentioned before that I exchanged a couple of emails with him, regarding Mr. Buckley.

Smart enough. The news is always centered around conflict and bad things while the good news is often not covered or covered very incompletely. The media in general is the devil's plaything and it is no surprise that those in media demonstrate high levels of narcissism and sociopathy. As a profession, they rank right up with politicians for those personality types.

Finally! It should have been dropped when Fani Willis was disqualified, but the Georgia Supreme Court was too timid to go that far, instead asking that some other Prosecutor take it over. Everyone in Fani's office was barred from taking it, so they had to look to some other prosecutor's office in Georgia. EVERY Prosecutor in Georgia turned it down and refused to touch it, it was sucn an obvious stinkbomb. So the guy in charge of getting another Prosecutor to take that case said "ok I'll do it myself."
Which was ridiculous, he never had the resources or staff to even touch something like this.
So he finally wised up and bailed. And it's over.

I like how many of our "Thankfuls" are just shitting on the traitors formerly within our ranks. I'm thankful for McCain, Romney, Paul Ryan and others for failing so hard they gave us Trump, who thankfully got Drudge, National Review, The Weekly Standard, and the rest of GOPe Inc to expose and destroy themselves lol.

Aside from personal family things, I am pretty Thankful Trump 2.0 seems to have learned a lot from his first term, and is taking immigration VERY seriously, despite the non-stop resistance. I'm also thankful SCOTUS has been much more willing to step in, shut down lower court overreach nonsense, and overturn bad legal precedents despite decades of prior allowance. May it continue into next term!

Georgia law when a prosecutor is removed from a case. Skadalakis had to take the case over in order to kill it as he could find no other GA prosecutor willing to take the case in order to dismiss it.

I say this because I was immersed in the Bible as a kid and a natural result was an affinity for Israel through all those wonderful OT stories… King David, Moses, Samuel, etc etc… I came to love those figures and I’m now constitutionally incapable of being anti-Israel

Posted by: Its Go Time Donald
=======
Most polls are garbage and yutes are the most changeable of all categories based on whatever they read last. Shitload of propaganda on TikTok and X have been dumped on the American population by foreigners and they ain't friendly to much of anything in the West.

I keep tabs on the alt right influencers and many of them have went toward outright anti Semitic fantasies and relied on the confluence between secular Jews in the West and leftism. Such is the stupid argument that Charlie Kirk was killed by Mossad because it could not be a troon boy lover shooting at short range.

So the whole religion of Judaism and Israel become the scapegoat of the West for idiotic decision made by their own politicians to strip their wealth, take their futures away, and bring in foreigners of every nasty disposition to displace them.

I despise bigots and those pied piper influencers that try lead people astray all for money and perhaps a slice of power. Satanic really.

Because in the wide world of bots and other idiots throughout the world, any hot take is going to attract some likes. Kind of like how MSNOW keeps doubling down because it values the moonbat audience that it still has more than gaining new watchers.

290 As I started approaching 29, I occasionally found myself indulging in the "If Only"s.

If only I'd done this, if only I'd done that...not that I hated my life or anything like that. I just felt I might've done better.

Then one night I suddenly realized, when I examined the whole idea thoroughly, that any of those changes giving me a "perfect" life, would mean that I wouldn't have the lovely and exciting Mrs naturalfake or the kiddos.

And no that would simply be intolerable. They are the best thing in my life and we as a family, despite our ups and downs, despite some hard times, have been very blessed by God.

And furthermore, I was being a huge dickweed to God by not acknowledging his complete generosity and being grateful for it. So, I decided that I needed to change the way I think.

I try to end every day thanking God for my life and my family I grew up in and my own family now, and for the day.

Anyway, these are the things in my life i'm most thankful for.

A very positive thought, but there were/are practicalities involved. When the event occured we were confronted with immediate realities and very real immediate needs. This was in hours, not days. Moreover, the only resources were those at hand. Mind you, no power, roads and bridges out, etc. The scale of it is hard to describe.

So, in that context, we soldiered through as well as possible Bear in mind that the VRQ is operated by a charity, and manned/managed by volunteers. It isn't as though The Government is going to step in to take over.

In the aftermath we have been working hard to recover, while still maintaining housing/feeding these guys. We have leveraged (if I can use that term) our influence with local, state, and Fed organizations for support, but that is a very slow process, and we have to focus (cont.)

297 (cont.) on today and tomorrow. Once we had managed to arrange immediate shelter and food, then we began to try for longer term arrangements. While it certainly would be nice to find someone who could provide the sort of facility that you suggest...not so easily found in a small county in W. NC.

That does not mean that we have not brought to bear such influence that we have on government people from here to D.C. But, remember that we are a charity, and not some government organization. While we have received some grants, those always have strings attached, and we have to be very careful in that regard.

As disturbing as I find it that these guys are eating in a tent in a parking lot, I am gratified that they are being safely housed and fed. That is philosophically unsatisfying but realistically practical. We have to divide our efforts/resources between the immediate, and the long term. It's a bit like triage, first, stop the bleeding.

78 The white chalk on the black board symbolises the repression BIPOC mathematicians experience on a daily basis, where their lived math experience is constantly attacked by a settler colonial intepretation of so-called "objective" reality, which seeks to marginalize the Other. Diverses mathematical interpretations are equally valid, and seeking to punish so-called "wrong" answers just serves to deepen the marginalization of these voices.

One time a crew of folks asked him about the best way of setting up a bank of computers to crunch a bunch of numbers for some wacked out theory of determining the properties of non-linear Hilbert space (I’m just making that up, you get the idea) and he asked what the problem was. They told him, and he went into his far off look, mumbling to himself. A few seconds later “That won’t work. Here’s the answer”. He did the calculations in his head.

Posted by: muldoon at November 26, 2025 09:40 AM (/iMjX)

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

[Per Etymonline (not to be confused with our online 'Ettes):]

aftermath (n.)

1520s, originally "a second crop of grass grown on the same land after the first had been harvested," from after + -math, which is from Old English mæð "a mowing, cutting of grass" (from PIE root *me- "to cut down grass or grain").

Other words for it were aftercrop (1560s), aftergrass (1680s), lattermath, fog. The figurative sense is by 1650s. Compare French regain "aftermath," from re- + Old French gain, gaain "grass which grows in mown meadows," from Frankish or some other Germanic source similar to Old High German weida "grass, pasture."

When the summer fields are mown,
When the birds are fledged and flown,
And the dry leaves strew the path;
With the falling of the snow,
With the cawing of the crow,
Once again the fields we mow
And gather in the aftermath.

A common technique is the "box method" or area model, where numbers are decomposed into their place values (e.g., 35 becomes 30 and 5, and 12 becomes 10 and 2), and then multiplied in a grid format.

The partial products from each cell of the grid are then summed to find the final result. For example, multiplying 35 by 12 involves calculating 30×10=300, 30×2=60, 5×10=50, and 5×2=10, which are then added together to get 420.

Exactly. Resisting the left, who have this schedule of History of phases we have to go through.

Gentile and Mussolini had a discrete falling out because Gentile, the theorist of fascism, was much more progressive than Mussolini turned out to be. Their first rift was whether or not the Catholic Church should be involved. Mussolini reasoned that so many Italians were Catholic that it made sense to secure support from where you can.

Heuristic for a typology. Jerry Pournelle (later his two d matrix was used by Libertarians with their smallest political ideology test). Jerry back when he was a poli sci prof at Pepperdine, came up with two dimensions of economic and social differences in political ideology. Think it was published in a journal at the time but certainly he would discuss it throughout his life.

The Right in Euroland has a specific meaning rooted in history based on blood and history of a nation and usually included preservation of royalty and state religions when those were a thing. Less useful on the right in the US because of the whole royalty and state religion thing being dumped but often there is a related term of Heritage Americans aka descendants of the original English/Scots/Irish/German settlers versus immigrant latecomers in the 1850's and later.

Some argue for a creed based nation of ideals but that has the problem of defining exactly what the creed to be preserved contains.

Nowadays, at least in the US, it is easier to define the Right by what it is not--the Left.

Then the pumpkin dip with apples, asian pears, pineapple, and clementines. I put out 2 trays (and take my meat from the pack, so I can just dairy up the one) - one the proteins and one the fruit and dips, and it works for 7...

Gramsci was a Communist (not fascist like Gentile) but argued the best way to rectify Marx's mistake. Marx proposed economic classes as the way to promote revolution; Gramsci argued post WWI where Commie revolutions largely failed including places like Germany that Marx assumed would be at the forefront, that in the industrialized West, a long march through institutions was necessary including social organizations.

Basically seize the heights of the socioeconomy of states rather than rely on a revolution by the proletariat.

Right, because on this side of the pond, we're anti-monarchal from the get-go. Hereditary rule doesn't even enter the question, once the union got going.

The "Right" of the French Revolution weren't even that traditional, they just reasoned that offspring--especially the very young--of the nobles don't need to be killed for having been born noble. For that they were called "counterrevolutionaries".

People really need to realize that the left becoming more extremely selective and violent is an illustratable historical pattern.

I don't make bread, but I do offer alternate flavor suggestions when panic about missing ingredients kicks in...and I make good ones b/c who doesn't love cherry, apricot, and amaretto? And it's real amaretto (Disarrano - if you know, you know), so apricot pits vs almonds (it's my favorite flavoring agent b/c I can't have the tree nuts, but it delivers beautiful almond flavor)...

268 People really need to realize that the left becoming more extremely selective and violent is an illustratable historical pattern.
Posted by: Axeman
=======
I think the violence comes from a loosely knit class of people that want to rule others but don't have the connections, money, or power to pull it off via those means.

So they rely on the crudest forms of control which is by violence. And then like starving dogs, they fight among themselves for scraps of power when they take over a state.

Only evil and/or corrupt people would want to rule over unwilling subjects by violence. Even most kings were constained by the idea of Christianity in the West. Commies have no such scruples because to them, common people are akin to potato chips. They can always make more (an error turns out but that is the way they feel).

Nominal measures of Left and Right that some activists believe can be calibrated into an ordinal measure similar to a number line where a theoretical zero would indicate a moderate and then each additional notch such as center left, left, far left and similar to that on the right.

I prefer *functional* analysis. There is no substance or function of "right".

Is it to put everything under the government or is it to decentralize government?

The first one is fascism, proper, and the second one is American conservative centrism.

The fascists don't tend to want a "200-year-old piece of paper" tell them what rules have to be followed, any rules and inhibit the state are detrimental to the interests of the state.

So what happens when you want a strong military? Well, then you're a "fascist", a "nationalist", even though the one national function you think we ought to have is one laid out in the "200-year-old piece of paper"
that still gets in the way of the "progress of the state".

363 Is this a thing? Because this dounds like a thing.

Without diving deep yet into the Hong Kong fire that's happening right now November 26, 2025, I have a couple thoughts.

1. Wrapping your building in flammable materials (bamboo scaffolding) for construction work in 2025 is a wild choice, especially in a high rise.

2. Wrapping multiple high rise buildings within feet of each other in flammable materials is an even worse choice.

3. Dried bamboo burns incredibly well as it is, but the addition of spacing for the scaffolding from floor to floor likely allowed for greater airflow allowing for a much more efficient burn and travel up the exterior of the building.

4. The death toll currently stands at 14 and I can almost guarantee that will rise, potentially by a lot. The hope here is fire crews in Hong Kong realized they were dealing with an exterior fire spreading up the building and had the capability and awareness to sound a general evacuation, especially of the other buildings before they ignited.

5. This could be Grenfell all over again. Except multiplied by 4.

All of the social sciences are replete with bad data. That being said, never throw away data because it is bad--figure out a way to use the bad data in a probabilistic sense so as to separate the gold from the dross.

So the lazy fascist smear by leftists does not mean that fascism itself as a concept is invalid. Same with right or left as nominal markers of ideology. It is whether or not the data exists to support or not support the concept as applied to specific cases.

The Morning Report — 11/26/25

DsLeftNuts.jpg

Good morning kids. Yes, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a thing. But from Chi-Com run "police stations" in major American cities with Chinese immigrant communities, to Chinese intelligence assets everywhere from research labs to the Confucius Institutes on our campuses, to vast tracts of farmland and real estate bordering our military installations owned by the Chi-Coms, and to actual Chinese intel assets embedded in the administrations of local, state and even national governmental officials, dig a bit deeper into the story of several high level American politicians, all ex service members and some still in the reserves, creating a video essentially encouraging American military personnel to commit acts of insubordination and perhaps even insurrection and Treason by as they say "disobeying any illegal orders from the Commander-in-Chief, that being President Trump.

I have never served in the military, but from what I understand of training, every recruit, especially those who are in the officer corps whether coming up through the ranks or as graduates of our military academies, are thoroughly instructed as to what constitutes an "illegal order" and at the very least have the barest minimum of moral rectitude and conscience to know the difference between right and wrong in the context of carrying out their mission. And so in my estimation, we have propagandists and much worse, foreign-influenced agents provocateurs internally sowing dissent in the ranks and laying the groundwork for actual mutiny.

So, the despicable reprehensible behavior of Senator Mark Kelly almost comes as no shock:

On Monday, the Department of War announced that Kelly, a retired Navy captain, could be “recall[ed] to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures” because of his participation in what has now been dubbed the “Seditious Six” video. . . While Kelly’s participation in his party’s “Seditious Six” gambit is certainly egregious, it shouldn’t be considered surprising. For years, the Arizona Democrat has regularly undertaken actions that undermine America’s national security. . .

. . . the Arizona senator criticized the Trump Pentagon’s plans to investigate the retired general [Mark (vanilli) Milley]for reportedly telling his Chinese counterpart that the Trump-led U.S. had no intention of attacking China, and that he would “call [Beijing] ahead of time” if Trump were to launch such an offensive. Rather than condemn Milley’s purported actions, Kelly leapt to his defense. . . It’s almost fitting that Kelly’s apparent lack of concern over Milley’s reported actions involved America’s greatest geopolitical adversary, given the retired Navy captain’s extensive ties to entities connected to the Chinese Communist Party. . . As has been widely reported in recent years, prior to becoming a senator, Kelly co-founded the Arizona-based space tourism company World View in 2012. According to a 2020 report by RealClearPolitics’ Susan Crabtree, World View received investment funds in 2014 and 2016 from Tencent, a Chinese tech giant that owns (and reportedly monitors) the Chinese messaging app WeChat. (Tencent is also known for suspending streaming of NBA games in 2019 after a league general manager voiced support for the Hong Kong protestors.) . . .But Kelly’s role in World View is just the tip of the iceberg. In 2020, The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Arizona Democrat was an adviser to and “held a significant financial interest in a Colorado company that partnered with a Chinese state-financed tech giant to bring supersonic aerospace technology to China in 2018,


Just as surely as mythical Senator Pat Geary was owned by Don Emilio Barzini, Mark Kelly is likely owned by Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. Period Full Stop. And as absolutely disastrous as it would be for one American politician especially at this level to essentially be an intelligence asset of our greatest foreign rival if not enemy (which they sure as hell are) the horrifying reality is that Kelly is not a one-off.

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has filed a federal civil lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump’s Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) director Bill Pulte, accusing him of violating privacy laws by accessing his confidential mortgage records. Swalwell claims these records were improperly used to refer him to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for an investigation into mortgage and tax fraud allegations.The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Pulte engaged in “unprecedented and unlawful” practices by obtaining mortgage records through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Swalwell, who recently announced his candidacy for Governor of California, stated that the disclosure of these records damaged his reputation at a critical political moment.Pulte has also referred other prominent Democrats, including Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), and Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, to the DOJ for investigation. Schiff and James have denied wrongdoing, while Cook is challenging her removal from the Federal Reserve Board by the Trump administration in a case the Supreme Court will hear in January.

Swalwell is small potatoes, but he is illustrative of how far down the corruptibility of our politicians and others to foreign influence, in this case the Chi-Coms, goes. He was given the nickname of Yum-Yum by GOP Rep Troy Nehls for the former's intimate relationship with know Chinese spy Christine Fang. Currently: Eric Swalwell is a member of the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Homeland Security. He also serves on the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law and the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. Yeah, shagging a Chi-Com spy is no big deal in this context, is it?!

But all that said, what would happen in the event that Red China attacked or attempted to invade and conquer Taiwan by force as they have been planning and itching to do since 1949 and for the past several years have been openly threatening and even planning vis a vis the acquisition of the military hardware necessary for a seaborne operation, as well as the weaponry to prevent a swift American naval response to block such a move.

If President Trump's command authority were undermined in advance by the actions of Kelly and his co-conspirators who have sown dissent and ultimately mutiny in the ranks, it would certainly give the Chi-COM PLA and Navy a strategic edge they might otherwise not have had.

Kelly deserves the wrong end of a rope as do all the others.

Have a good day.

So 50% of illegal immigrants are taking jobs that could be filled by citizens, and the other 50% are just taking gummint money and benefits that would otherwise be spent on citizens. But it's all about the economy?

27 ... dig a bit deeper into the story of several high level American politicians, all ex service members and some still in the reserves, creating a video essentially encouraging American military personnel to commit acts of insubordination and perhaps even insurrection and Treason by as they say "disobeying any illegal orders from the Commander-in-Chief, that being President Trump.

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

Next you'll be telling me that straight-up treasonous America- and self-hating white-dude Gen. Mark "Milley Vanilly" -- Trump 1.0 Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- phoned and told his ChiComm military counterpart that he'd (1) warn him if the USA was planning to attack and (2) limited "unstable" #Literally Hitler's ability to launch nukes ... or something.

Wait, why hasn't that motherf*cker been executed for TREASON yet?

No wonder they think they can literally get away with murders -- since they already have on numerous occasions (including attempts on Trump's life).

30 U.S. retail and restaurant sales edged up 0.2 percent in September from August. The modest gain came despite stubbornly high prices for groceries and housing. Economists say steady consumer spending is on track to push third-quarter economic growth to an annualized rate of three percent or higher, a notable acceleration from the 1.6 percent pace recorded in the first half of the year.

And with Inflation back under 3% this means people have real money to spend.

35 Kelly isn’t out of the woods and he knows it. He can put on the defiant face. But the fact is they can recall him to active status and run him through the process which would support at a minimum an Article 92 hearing. It’s more about the will and political capital than whether the process supports it.

Overall, what Democrats did is textbook color revolution stuff. The entire objective was to try and create disunity in the ranks, mutinous behavior and fear of prosecution for following lawful orders. It’s a disgrace that I have never seen across my years. It’s alarming not just in its hubris, but in its clear goal to subvert the CiNC and CoC. Democrats are not good people. They don’t have anyone’s interest in their hearts. Only their own thirst for power and dominion over the American people. Nobody should be fooled or mislead as to what’s going on here.

Bruna Caroline Ferreira, described by Homeland Security officials as “a criminal illegal alien from Brazil,” was detained in Revere, Massachusetts, after allegedly overstaying a B2 tourist visa that expired back on June 6, 1999.

But wait, there's more!

"This individual is the mother of Karoline’s nephew and they have not spoken in many years,” the source said. "The child has lived full-time in New Hampshire with his father since he was born. He has never resided with his mother.”

Personally, I think the country was taken over by the Chinese decades ago without firing a shot. They either own, or control nearly every aspect of our society. Especially the tech/biz and municipal infrastructure sectors.

It's been theorized the ChiComs have a literal "off" switch at their disposal for a lot of our infrastructure. And they don't require their military to do it.

77 The CIA was doing straight up crazy stuff since the 1950s. Surviving documents aren’t too flattering. A trove was discovered, misfiled in a financial documents section that escaped Richard Helms order to burn anything related to the really hinky stuff.

Anyway, one doc straight up said “It’s important nobody ever finds out about this, it’s illegal as hell, and we’d get in a lot of trouble”. Par for the course, apparently. The assumption, a very dangerous one, was too often, or is “Well these guys are patriots, I don’t really want to know what they are doing, but I’m sure they are doing good work”.

There's way more than 12 million illegals in this country. Still... "50% of illegal immigrants are taking jobs that could be filled by citizens" means that those citizens are likely "just taking gummint money and benefits" so all 12 million mentioned have a negative impact on the country.

Further, this assumes that the six million who have jobs don't have families. They don't have kids driving up the cost of schools. They don't have wives, or perhaps girlfriends, who may be on benefits. They don't go to ERs. Pull the other one.

(LifeSiteNews) — Three members of the “DC-Nine” peaceful pro-life rescuers who were prosecuted by the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ), convicted of unprecedented grave charges in 2023, and pardoned by President Donald Trump in January of this year, have attested that a supposed surveillance video used against them in court was manipulated, perhaps by an AI technology, to provide a “deep-fake” revision misconstruing their behavior as violent.

“In the first five minutes I knew that they were using fake video coverage,” said rescuer Jean Marshall in an interview with LifeSiteNews. “I said, ‘I don’t have to watch anymore. What I am seeing did not happen.’”

There is absolutely no basis for his "I once criticized the President so, you can't charge me with a crime I clearly did."
But, worse, look at the relief sought--to have the judiciary order the executive to NOT ENFORCE THE LAW!!!

We're still under the delusion that all this can be sorted out through conventional, traditional political means and locutions.

210 We don’t lock our doors at night on the house because we hate other people, we lock our doors because we love our family.

The collectivists want to destroy the nation state, and I see this at the micro level too. They are very insistent about this. A self described group, a collective if you will, is not allowed to define itself.

Thus, the Boy Scouts (for example) must allow atheist kiddie-fvckers to become Scoutmasters, or you can’t use the public school gymnasium any longer. An after school Christian group must admit Satanists, because it would be “discrimination”, etc.

When a politician says “That’s not who we are” it begs the unasked question of whether we are allowed to decide what we are going to be. Of course the answer is always “No” but they leave that part out.

241 How many Congressional members have been influenced by Chinese spies compared to how many that have been influenced by Israeli lobbyists?


I think you are framing the question wrong. Every country on this planet wants to plunder the US of anything it can get. Israel is just better than all other nations - they get huge support from Evangelicals, so its not so much ideology that is the driving force, its just that "helping Israel" is a political bonus in that on the balance sheet it leverages the most Goodwill.

China, unfortunately, doesn't have that form of Goodwill, so it must leverage money and power as its motivator. Mark Kelly loves money and power and hating America has no political or social downside, so the choice is easy.

Kelly swims in an ocean of America hating, so in that he finds comfort and moral support when he sells the country down the river for generation wealth, he can sleep at night.

Plus, beautiful spectacle (my spouse said he'd never watch it at home, but the spectacle was worth the price of admission). Totally family friendly for all - if you need a movie this Thanksgiving. All of us gave it between B=/A- (and the spouse NEVER grades family movies that high). No need to watch the 1st - just know the good witch isn't all good, the evil witch isn't bad, and they are friends, and you're good...

Before I go - Bulg, you asked me about my new novel.

William Taylor was at least bisexual, as he had a wife and daughter (whom he abandoned), but was also having an affair with set designer George Hopkins.

The most generally accepted theory for his murder is that he was shot by Charlotte Shelby, mother of actress Mary Miles Minter, out of insane jealousy. The actress Mabel Normand is sometimes put forward as a possible suspect, as well.

Several years back, the author William Mann, in his book Tinseltown, offered the theory that Taylor's death was a blackmailing attempt gone wrong.

My book has a theory I have never seen. I don't know how people will take it.

And now I am out.

284 I was really hopeful Kelly was going to be Kamala's VP pick, and while I love Tim Walz I was disappointed he wasn't.

Wouldn't have unrigged the voting machines. Look up Smart elections lawsuit in NY. Shit is fishy 🤔

Mark Kelly is like the quintessential American hero. The OG Iron Man. Absolutely insane for MAGA to attack him. Shows their true colors, though.

Insane? Sure. Surprising? No. Remember when Trump made fun of McCain for being a POW? “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

Mark Kelly is everything Hegshit wishes he was. I’ve been saying that Hegshit chose the wrong family to fuck with.

Mark Kelly for president! Nothing makes Trump look more pathetic than trying to take shots at an actual American hero. Not a single person I can think of more intelligent and more qualified to be the commander in chief.

Trump and his cult of slow adults know Kelly is an American treasure that also happens to be a top-tier contender for the presidency. He’s a genuine threat to their corrupt administration.

285 They are enemies of the state and it's high time we all stop seeing them as anything other than that.

The Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column. Journalism attracts the romantics that Want To Make A Difference. Building things up takes effort and swimming against the tide of sloth, selfishness, corruption and greed. Tearing things down is easy and it counts as "making a difference". So the lizard brain function is being satisfied with minimal effort.

Journalism is also not associated in any way with wealth generation. Its just a food pellet in exchange for n articles provided each week. This explains why scraping X and then adding a bunch of eyewash has been the usual tactic in satisfying the quid pro quo.

You also need to generate clicks - which means nearly all articles need to be rage-bait so that highly emotional nit-wits will "share" your article into a career boosting "viral article" based on views and "engagement".

So the formula for success is to plug-in to the zeitgeist, lie until the desire rage temperature is reached and then unleash onto the world.

Because if they don't, they'll never take the House again.
And without the House, they have no chance at the Presidency.

SCOTUS is likely to rule against minority-majority districts, against post-election ballot counting, and allow gerrymandering (except with clear, present and overt racist motives).
There's also a decent chance they end birthright citizenship.
And if they end mail-in ballots for all?

That's just the courts: Whoever wins 2028, controls the 2030 Census.
And whoever controls the Census, sets their party with a massive EC (and House) advantage for the next decade.
And sets the entire SCOTUS for decades ...

I made some persimmon pulp cookie dough that has craisins, raisins, and pecan pieces in it last evening. It's now sitting in the fridge to be baked tomorrow right before guests arrive. Drool.

My Mom and Dad are both with the Lord now, so me and The Missus are hosting Thanksgiving for the first time. I have never had a holiday season away from my parents' house before.

But I have a life blessed beyond measure. Thank you, Jesus.

313 Setting aside everything else, just from a legal standpoint, I'm not sure what *could* constitute an illegal order from the President himself, besides an order that's a direct, black-letter Constitutional violation.

For example, I would think an order from the President to disarm law-abiding citizens would be an illegal order.

But there's nothing I can think of that would pertain to foreigners. If the President changed ROE in War XYZ and said "now, the orders are to liquidate the entire population of Sri Lanka," that would certainly be bad, but I can't see how it would be legal to defy him on it.

I taught cohorts of Chinese students for graduate study in administrative law for several years early in my academic career.

They had a intel minder in every class and you could tell because they were the most lazy of students that relied on others to do their work for them from fear.

One of the bravest Chinese that I had in my class was a defense attorney from China who was seeking our university's MPA to work in the judicial system. Chilling tales to my undergrads about how 'justice' worked in the PRC. At the time, I was teaching Comparative Law.

What's this about? IMHO impeaching Trump again and, as in the past, let's also reuse Ukraine and RUSSIA! too.
---
In part, "Donald Trump, serving as the 45th president of the United States, was impeached for the first time on December 18, 2019. On that date, the House of Representatives adopted two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Trump's first impeachment took place after a formal House inquiry found that he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election

373 bid, and had then obstructed the inquiry itself by telling his administration officials to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony. The inquiry reported that Trump withheld military aid[a] and an invitation to the White House from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in order to influence Ukraine to announce an investigation into Trump's political opponent Joe Biden, and to promote a discredited conspiracy theory that Ukraine–⁠not Russia–⁠was behind interference in the 2016 presidential election.[4][5] Wikipedia; much more followed. (Needed a quick, concise "source." Get over it.)

Do they need to speed another round of impeachment up? What's a big deal in 2026? The semiquincentennial – or 250th anniversary – of the signing of the Declaration of Independence! (Which some call it "America's birthday" for some reason.)

And wouldn't impeachment of PDT be their crowning glory?

American First means jobs for Americans first.

Which means H-1B and OPT need to be shitcanned (or put on moratorium for at least 10-20 years) and punishments need to be enacted for all the companies outsourcing engineering jobs to India (e.g. auto industry).

India is the biggest enemy to American jobs, through massive fraud of H-1B and OPT (Optional Practical Training) and through massive fraud with companies who outsource. Fake degrees, fake resumes, lying in interviews, etc.

1. Deport every single illegal alien
2. 10-20 year moratorium on ALL immigration
3. End H-1B and OPT programs (or 10-20 year moratorium)
4. Punishments for companies who outsource and benefits for companies who hire American
5. Deport all Muslims
6. Ban anyone from the Middle East and other Third World countries
7. Complete audit of SNAP and EBT and removal of everything that is not nutritious
8. Complete audit of SNAP and EBT and remove employees handing out fraudulent eligibility
9. Complete audit of people on SNAP and EBT and remove people whose eligibility is fraudulent
10. Complete audit of SNAP and EBT and require annual audit of people for renewal of benefits

380 Despite Challenges, MAGA Persists (For Now)

Does it persist? Or is MAGA only persisting because Donald Trump is President?

Is there a MAGA movement of any consequence outside of President Trump's leadership? Would the people in the MAGA movement be MAGA if they were not following orders from President Trump? Or are they just riding his coattails because that is the popular thing to do now and waiting until he is gone to revert back to their less-than-MAGA ways like what happened after the stolen 2020 election?

Charlie Kirk was supposedly the leader of the MAGA movement for Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha. Is there anyone else who is supposedly as popular and influential as him?

Who are the MAGA leaders making a difference on their own in institutions and companies and government? And do they have popular support across the country like President Trump does?

Is there a Discover the Networks worthy network of groups and institutions for MAGA as there has been for decades for the Marxist Left?

The midterms will tell a lot regarding whether MAGA is a movement or MAGA is just President Trump's base that will splinter and die like the TEA Party.

381 Report: Hegseth Wants Military to Cut Ties with Scouts Over Gender Ideology, DEI Policies

The Marxist Left destroys the Boy Scouts of America and turns the Girls Scouts completely woke and liberal. And instead of trying to get them both back to what they were, they are just abandoned to the Left.


Brilliant. Seems to be the strategy for the right for everything the left infects and takes over. Just let them have it. Let the Marxist left take over and destroy every American institution. Scouts, entertainment, sports, you name it.

Now it's the same with areas in America. Marxist leftists and Muslims and Third World savages taking over cities and states and the reaction is "fuck 'em, let those places die".

Funny way of "making America great again" by letting all the past American institutions be taken over by the Left and destroyed.

385 We've slowed the acceleration toward total social degradation but we are not "winning." It can feel like that sometimes, but it's a relative and transitory feeling. The fact is, the Left is far more crazed, committed and powerful and we have not shown the same crazed commitment to take on their power. We're still under the delusion that all this can be sorted out through conventional, traditional political means and locutions.

The fatal realization will hit us at some point, hopefully before it's too late.

Well said.

A few battles may have been won over the past year, but we are still badly losing the overall war with the Marxist Left and the foreign invaders (Muslims, Indians, Somalians, etc.).

The Marxist left and Muslims already won the initial war for the country and took it over through the Long March Through the Institutions. They control every institution in the country. Yes, President Trump won the Presidential election, but the Deep State is still deeply embedded within every area of the federal government.

Add to that the total control of media, social media (save for X), entertainment industry, sports, corporations, schools, universities and overall culture and this is a war where it will take years / decades of winning battles before anyone can say we are "winning" the war to take back the country.

Not to mention, the massive national debt that is a ticking time bomb. And there's been nothing done to even try to diffuse that, only things done to make the bomb even bigger. That's not a long-term "winning" strategy.

I agree on that. However, ironically, it was probably federal government policies that contributed to destroying the Boy Scouts of America in the first place. The homosexual movement of the 2000s (and then later the LGBTQ+ movement) used the government to push all their policies and get their agenda pushed into society.

Started with the SCOTUS decision in 2002 Lawrence v Texas.

A similar SCOTUS decision in 2020 helped push the "gender identity" and "transgender" nonsense into society, Bostic v Clayton County, which made "gender identity" a protected class akin to sex, religion, etc.

389 911 dispatchers tell New Yorkers to call "Quality of Life" hotline as feral mob burns cars, beats up homeowners

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Why Do the Heathen Rage? at November 26, 2025 09:13 AM

On November 24, 2025, a chaotic "street takeover" event in the affluent Malba neighborhood of Queens, New York, escalated into violence and arson. What began as an unauthorized car meetup involving dozens of vehicles performing stunts like donuts and burnouts turned into a "Mad Max hellscape," as described by local officials. A mob of masked individuals — described by witnesses as teens and young adults — took over several blocks, blocking streets, and confronting residents who tried to intervene.

Key events included:
Assaults on homeowners, Vehicle arson, Broader disruption.

As the violence unfolded, dozens of Malba residents flooded 911 with calls reporting assaults, threats, and the fire. However, multiple callers were reportedly told by dispatchers to contact the city's non-emergency 311 hotline or the NYPD's "Quality of Life" team...

37 I like this WEST streaming channel that Dish has, I usually keep it on as background noise when I'm working in the mornings.

Only problem is that WEST, being brand new and a streaming channel doesn't have a big advertiser pool to work with yet so they're stuck with more than half of their commercials being Ad Council PSAs.

I've seen the "Head in the Cloud" anti-vape warning ad for parents. They usually play that 2 or 3 times in a row, followed by the other ad where dad is trying to talk to his teenage daughter about vaping and the only way he can get her attention is to do a TikTok dance fad while she tells him "You're doing it wrong" before she shows him how to dance the dance in front of an oval light and a camera.

Not to mention the "Asian Hate" PSA where the kinda cute Korean gal who owns a cab company, somewhere in CA I'm guessing, decided to give Asians free rides in her cabs so they don't have to walk and get harassed on the street.

Followed up by the PSA where they have asinger singing about "Walk a mile in my shoes" in old Gospel style.

I've seen every one of those 200 times in the last month at least. I can recite the actors lines before they do.

45 Campbell's made a good point about this VP who talks too much crap about his employer.

He's the VP/Chief Information Security Officer, so an IT guy, and Campbell's made the fair point that means he doesn't have a clue about the food prep side of the business.

He's probably spent his entire time at HQ staring at computer screens and never been in a factory.

Someone on Althouse (yes, I know) suggested the bastard be brought back to active duty, assigned to Gitmo and tasked with cleaning latrines with a toothbrush. Then, every other day, bust him in rank for not doing it properly until you get him down to private, and then make him retire on a private's salary.

But, as many wiser than I have predicted, all that will happen is that he'll get a slap on the wrist, a "naughty, naughty!" wink and told to be more careful next time. Because, if you think the same FBI that persecuted Catholics and stood with their thumbs up their asses while Trump survived Butler is actually going to do anything, then I would like to sell you some Arizona Beachfront property.

Kelly is untouchable and he knows it. Can we please stop with the FAFO play-acting?

Spent over an hour figuring out why the dining room halogen lamp wasn't working. Wasn't the bulb. Wasn't the fixture. Opened the wall dimmer panel and found a disconnected wire. Reconnected to the dimmer and nada.

So... the dimmer it was! Install a new dimmer switch and - presto - works! Just in time for the social event we're having here tomorrow evening.

64 How can you print meat?

The most common approach involves using bio-ink composed of cultured animal cells, which are grown from stem cells isolated from a tissue sample and then multiplied to form a cellular mass. This bio-ink is loaded into a 3D printer, which deposits the material through a nozzle following instructions from computer-aided design (CAD) software to replicate the desired meat structure, such as a steak. After printing, the structure is typically placed in an incubator to allow the cells to differentiate into muscle and fat cells, forming tissue similar to real meat.

Food printing hasn't hit mainstream yet, but it's coming, along with printing pharmaceuticals and eventually biological material.

It works the same way a 3D printer works.
You start with different protein & fat packs, and the printer will print out the meat like a 3D printer does, layer by layer on top of each other.

They've already printed out chicken, steaks and hamburgers.
But the flavor hasn't been perfected yet and doesn't taste real.

Once they get over that hurdle we'll start seeing 3D printed meats if the governments of the world allow it.

106 Odd dream last night . . . I was aboard a research vessel heading down past Australia and New Zealand. I'm not sure what the destination was -- Antarctica? The boat was not huge but not the S.S. Minnow either. At first I was a passenger below decks. Then I was up in the cabin, detailed to record the trip with a video camera.

The most vivid parts were as we churned through rough, literally black seas (though it was daylight and not even raining, just overcast), steering around red-black outcrops of stone that jutted out of the ocean. Then we made port somewhere in southern New Zealand (I was told): a dreary and rainy town where half the people we saw were old, feeble, and gray. "The blocks get longer after here," the captain said.

We discovered while there that one of our passengers had planted huge bombs in the cargo hold designed to blow us up. As the captain was ordering them removed and defused, I woke up.

They've turned the term "sexual assault" into a complete joke due to overuse.

Yes, lady, the half-naked guy sleeping on his own couch, probably drunk out of his mind, was a real asshole for leaving the door open, but it doesn't qualify as sexual assault in any sense of the term.

"Assault on your eyes": most definitely.
"Rape": not in a million years, sweetheart.

157 also:

Attorney here, charging the trespass is a waste of time considering there's two dead to rights felony charges already on the table. She's a Doordasher, all it takes is her attorney going "she didn't read the leave it at the door part it was a mistake" and its suddenly an issue that would have be decided at trial. She's so incredibly, overwhelmingly, screwed on the unlawful surveillance charges any defense attorney will tell her to take a deal for a lesser sentence and be done with it.

Even with her being window licking levels of stupid her screaming assault will turn a case into a media circus, and getting a quick guilty plea to end it is definitely the way to go.

You Don't See This Every Day

Motorist in North Carolina tells 911: ‘I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield’

doof-cat-windshield.jpg

A motorist in western North Carolina escaped injury when the carcass of a cat crashed into the passenger side of her front windshield along a highway near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

In a call to 911, the unidentified driver on U.S. Route 74 in Swain County, near Bryson City, told a dispatcher that a bald eagle dropped the cat. Bryson City is about 65 miles (104 kilometers) southwest of Asheville.

It’s not clear if the feline slipped from the eagle’s talons Wednesday morning or was discarded simply because the big bird didn’t have a taste for it.

“You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield,” the incredulous driver said on the recorded 911 call. “It absolutely shattered my windshield.”

Check out the whole thing. I wonder if this falls into the "we've seen a thing or two" bucket that one insurance company always mentions.

Who Among You Has a Vanvera?

Come on, fess up. One of you has a 17th century fart catcher in your possession.

doof-vanvera.jpg

The vanvera was a strange accessory worn primarily by female aristocrats that allowed them to discreetly pass gas during social events.

The origins and history of the vanvera are shrouded in mystery; some sources claim it can be traced back to ancient Egypt, while others that it was inspired by Roman creativity, but there is no real evidence that this gas-muffling invention has its roots in ancient history. What everyone seems to agree on is that the vanvera was used by the aristocracy of that era, primarily women who could easily conceal it under their large, elaborate dresses.

The vanvera on display at the Sex Machines Museum in Prague consists of a leather pouch that connects to the wearer’s behind, muffling farts and containing the foul-smelling gases during social events. It can then be emptied in private by squeezing the pouch.

Guys would totally use this differently. "Dude, you shoulda smelled this one I ripped last night. Oh wait, I got it here in my vanvera - check it out!" {pooooofffff}

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Sounds awesome! Elder son of mine and I did something similar a few years ago. First Thanksgiving without the lovely late Mrs. Doof. Younger son was overseas doing his gap year thing. The 2 of us traveled to Lexington for several days. Did some stops on the Bourbon Trail. Went to the UK vs Louisville game. We made Thanksgiving dinner before we left MD and heated it up in the hotel. Watched hockey and college football and basketball, played cards, and drank bourbon. Was a fantastic time!

58 Was talking to my son, and he told me his turkey recipe: honey, chili powder, sugar, pancake mix, caramel, cinnamon, pine nuts, etc. then you cook it at 250 for 8 hours.

I told him he forgot the liquid smoke.

"Oh yeah, liquid smoke is awesome."

Not sure I want him cooking dinner for us.

67 With that rig and that area, I would always suggest starting in the middle and spiraling outward, finishing off by running the edges.

Then, of course you can lower the height of the blades, and carve a big H in the middle so helicopters might land!

I usually mow the perimeter first, and spiral in towards the center. Break the yard up into random quadrangles, mow each one in turn, or mow the facing sides of two quadrangles, until the quadrangles become narrower than the gap between, and then do each one in turn.

81 I only hitchhiked once. It was when I worked in Yellowstone, and was transferring from Canyon Village to Lake Hotel after Canyon closed for the season. I was five miles down the road, heading to the Hayden valley where all the buffalo hang out. Finally I got a ride. Turns out it was a line cook who was also heading to Lake Hotel.

I never hitched again. And now that I think about it, why did my luggage get delivered but I didn't? The hell?

82 "Please tell me they only cook what they shoot themselves."

Shoot? No, they just need a rabbit stick ... throw it and knock the rabbit out (or kill it outright). I've actually tried that briefly, and came close a few times. Just a solid ~1' x 2" solid stick ... thrown hard at a rabbit, it would stop them. Or maybe that is some Indian trick, idk where I learned it. Maybe in my brief "Tracker School".

Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at November 25, 2025 10:20 PM (pkeXY)


In the early 90s. I was driving to work late night, stopping at an intersection, and this chick suddenly comes up and asks for a ride home. My back seat was full of camping gear from the weekend that I hadn't cleared out. She asked what that stuff was in a quiet, "are you an axe murderer voice". Oh, that's just camping stuff, so where am I taking you, I got 10min to get to work. She told me and I dropped her off at a house then sped to work.

I think about her occasionally. I hope she makes better decisions.

130 SNL had 3 peaks, each a little bit lower. First of course was the original cast - Akroyd, Belushi, Bill Murray, Jane Curtain, Chevy Chase - Buck Henry was one of the writers and they could make you laugh til you had tears in your eyes every week. That wave faded out, it went flat .
But in ‘84 it built to a second peak with Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman, Victoria Principal, Dana Carvey and others - a few more wonderful seasons til it faded again.
And the final high was the David Spade - Chris Farley - Norm McDonald era. After that, which was in the 90’s, it was never worth watching again.

131 Thanksgiving dinner will be simple this year: I will join hubby at the nursing home. Probably will bring some cheese & crackers and onion dip.

132 ** NOT A PAID SEASONAL ADVERTISEMENT **

If you have someone for whom it it is difficult to shop -- and they like coffee, I'd like to suggest getting them an order from Porto Rico Importing (note the spelling). If they grind their own beans, even better. They have the freshest beans around. The place moves coffee beans. The store has been in business since 1907, for whatever that's worth.

I'd go for pound sampler packs: A blend, a country and a flavor. The flavor's easy, hazelnut; it tastes great both hot and cold. For the blend I'd go with Peter's Blend. A darker roast, full-bodied yet not bitter; a good cup of coffee. I've tried some of their other blends but this one's the best. For the country, go with the Costa Rican. A medium roast, full-bodied coffee with an interesting flavor profile. (I didn't like the flavor profiles of the African coffee beans I've tried and I've only had Hawaiian Kona from the 'Asia and the Pacific' section.) You could add their New Orleans blend, as they have a good recipe using chicory; when you drink a cup, you're transported to Cafe du Monde in The Quarter. A Columbian bean is always a solid choice.

1/2

133 2/2

Or, if you really, really love that person, you can give them Hawaiian Kona @ $74/lb. (absolutely delicious, a nutty coffee with a chocolate undertone) or Jamaican Blue Mountain @ $106/lb (never had it but from all reports it's supposed to be The Nectar of the Gods coffee-wise).

They will grind beans to your request, course, fine, etc., though I never do that as I get whole beans.

Free shipping anytime on orders over $75.

134 Evening, folken. It's been a strange day.

I remember the sequential blinker lights on the mid-'60s Thunderbirds. Though I'd forgotten that the Cougar, Mercury's answer to the T-Bird, had them too. Didn't some other car companies offer them a little later?

Earlier this year we saw a Cougar, well-restored, outside a coffee shop/bakery in a suburban town near us. I knew what it was immediately, though I hadn't seen one since the late '90s in Denver. Black, with a red interior, it was amazing in its proportions and styling. The hood and trunk each seemed twice as long as a mid-size car today, and the vehicle was low to the ground -- though it hadn't been lowered as far as I know.

The owner said it was the first year, the 1967. Not the XR-7 model, the "sporty" one with the toggle switches on the dash like the Jaguar E-Type of those days.

Murray wasn't part of the "original" cast-- he was a writer season one and came on in season two after Chevy Chase left to make movies. (Foul Play, not exactly a comedy classic.) They got into a fight when Chase returned as a guess host.

But I concede that Murray is considered part of original glory days.

171 The only hitchhiking I did was during the annual Yellowstone river boat float. A three day float from Livingston to Laurel with about 200+ rafts, boats, pontoon boats as company.

People shuttled up and down the river to go back upstream or downstream pick up their cars and then drive them to the next stopping point. So people with cars at a location would pick up obvious hitchhiking float people and take them to their cars.

202 189 We're still trying to think of a way to entice someone to adopt the Great Pyrenees dog that was abandoned up the road from us. Tough when a breed in known as a herding/one family dog, moves away from you (and other strangers) when you feed it and is huge. They have a reputation for NOT biting people and for being generally calm and good with kids, which are good things.

We have farms with coyotes nearby, but not many wolves or bears for these dogs to guard against.
Posted by: KT at November 25, 2025 11:08 PM (7vIsy)

Could you take a lawn chair and a bag of dog treats to the dog's yard, and just sit there calmly and offer some treats. Let the dog get used to your presence. It must be missing its humans now, and may become ready to accept a new one.

I'm a recently converted (6 years) pet person after a lifetime of happily living without them. Even before that happened, the reasoning about why someone would simply abandon their pet dog - much less a Pyrenees - escapes me completely.

205 There are Great Pyrenees rescue organizations, but they seem geared to people who are preparing to give up a dog - BEFORE they give it up. Sort of makes sense, since these are not Golden Retrievers who will just feel comfortable with anybody right off the bat.

Hubby used to get upset-- offended, even-- when I rearranged items in the dishwasher before starting it.
I tried to explain: "honey, you loaded it *just fine* but now there are *more* dishes and I'm trying to make everything fit so I don't need to hand-wash (as much)"

Mowing? I'd rather hubby did it. I do it the same way he did it-- except for running over the hose or getting hung up on that one big tree root, LOL.

My grandfather hunted rabbits by that method (ball peen hammer) when he was a youth during the Depression.

He said he got one out of about every three throws. He said a hit only stunned the rabbits, so you had to run up and throttle them before they re-gathered their wits.

I have eaten rabbit stew and squirrel pot pie at his house when I was a youth. However, he could afford .22lr ammo by that time!

245 Greetings Hordlings from your Old China Hand, Publius Redux. Was up early this AM here in Singapore, and saw that somehow you guys had all p*ssed of Ace, forcing him to punish us with the insane scribblings of non-entity, attention-whore, mentally-imbalanced and talent-lacking Olivia Nuzzi. Why? What did you guys do? Kick Ace's dog? Sleep with his girlfriend, I mean, wth? On a serious note, why does this idiot Nuzzi even get any attention by anyone? Because she "almost" had an affair with RFKJr? I believe we have another way to say "almost had an affair" and I believe that other way is "didn't" - as in "Nuzzi didn't have an affair with RFK Jr." No, sending someone insane, bunny-boiler, stalker texts does not count as "having an affair." Also - slight point of order from the other day - I believe the Ace stye guide would dictate that instead of "James Carville's less attractive testicle," you should instead say "James Carville's LEAST attractive testicle."

Getting them out of the car, and then into the car is like prepping the Apollo astronauts for launch, because they drive and are content to be a road disaster in the making. My inlaws are probably going to Mrs B's sister's house. My MIL, AKA "the ham fairy" switched it up this year and blew off the ham and i her infinite wisdom decided to get a 25 pound turkey.... for 5 people. I'm sensing a turkey fairy in my future. Mrs B's sister got her hand operated on today, so I'm sure she'll appreciate the ease of hauling around a 25 pound turkey. Sooo, the decision is do we go there so Mrs B can help her sister since her parents aren't strong enough to lift the fart bag shown above, and we come home with a trunk load of turkey, or go to my brothers and watch the wax museum face plant into their dinner plate when they fall asleep in the middle of a sentence.

254 The sequential taillight mechanism reminded me of how 1980's Volvo's 'lamp out' module worked. It was essentially a round red plastic canister about three inches high by maybe one and one-half inches diameter with about 13 plug pins on the bottom.

Inside were three boards with small reed switches corresponding to various outside lights. Each reed switch corresponded to a set of lights - headlights, taillights, etc. Wrapped around each reed switch were the wires corresponding to the left and right bulbs of each set of lights. As long as both bulbs were lit, the magnetic field from each wire cancelled out and the switch stayed in the neutral 'off' position. If a bulb was out, no current would flow in the corresponding wire, and the magnetic field from the other wire pulled the switch to a closed position and illuminated a 'bulb out' lamp on the dash.

(we usually had the next day off, so it wasn't a problem to stay up late)

Last couple of holidays, he accepted the invitations but NO SHOW. Didn't even call to cancel! I called him: ugh, still asleep... call back in an hour? Ok. An hour later: ugh, too tired...

Fk it. If he can't be arsed to drive 2 minutes, forget it. I'm DONE cooking a whole holiday meal for 3 people. Now, it's just me. Pfft. Cheeseburger!!!!!

Did a "Pi Day" for church fellowship back in July (because 22/7 is much closer to pi than 3.14). Put up a big sign with "pi*r^2" on it (but not in lame fake math figures like that). And baked a bunch of various pies (quiche is a pie!) that were round and square. Everybody thought it was great. But, dang were that many pies hard work.

301 I cooked a pile of bacon today, for prep. Seems like the more turkey I cook, the more bacon I end up needing.

Plus the added joy of inviting a "gluten-intolerant" drama queen, so I have to make special stuffing with that weird gluten-free bread.

Lots on the menu, because we have 11 coming. Big-ass turkey, which I shall cook unstuffed because I don't want to have to cook it forever.

Stuffing, potatoes, gravy (I found all three gravy pitchers, thank heaven), spinach salad with bacon and honey mustard dressing, fruit salad, rolls, cranberry sauce (made that two days ago), pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, ice cream and whipped cream.

Before that, there's the pre-dinner spread for football: cheese ball, various cheeses, sliced meats, crackers of all kinds, fritos and onion dip, plus crudites, grapes, berries, apple-bacon jam I made yesterday, several different jellies I made this past fall (raspberry, grapefruit, orange, dreamcicle), ranch dip, whatever I come across in the fridge that looks good to serve.

When I redid the kitchen we ordered the appliances months before the cabinets came in, because it was about a year out of covid and supply was still a little shaky. There was a choice of a 2 rack dishwasher, with 56 people on a waiting list, or the 3 rack with only a few people on the list, so 3 rack it was. I wasn't sure the 3 rack was going to work, I figured to fit in 3 racks it might cramp the other 2. Well the interior was taller, which became glaring once I went to install it had almost no room under it to work. In the end it worked like a charm, the middle rack is adjustable for height, so no cramping the other racks, and Mrs b packs the shit out of that thing, and everything comes out spotless.

Current passwords, especially when you have to use a symbol in them, makes them easier to brute force than not. They are also hard to remember for the user, so it forces them to write them down someplace accessible, which defeats the entire purpose of passwords.

A much better solution is to remember a phrase or sentence and use that as the password. Much harder to crack, unless someone knows you very well.

Sawzall to the rescue! Cut smooth as silk, right through that pipe in about 5 seconds, as low as I could get it.

Tagged the stub with fluorescent pink spray paint & pointed it out to the tree crew, so nobody would get hurt.

The turkey bits are thawing (legs,breasts) and will throw them in the crockpot with the sweet potatos and some miscellaneous veggies. I'm glad I have a bit crockpot. I'll bake the pumpkin pie. I'll add some other stuff as I remember them. Still have to go to the grocery store later in the afternoon. I usually make to much but I eat it over the course of 3-4 days.

This better not be AI.

This astronomy is making me horny.

Grooming your doe, if you know what I mean.

Lion dad summons Chip.

A mama bear leads her troop of cubs through the snow.

Polar bear cub crawls all over mama.

Kitty's got claws.

Olivia Nuzzi just took a flea and tick bath.

Prairie dog yahoos to the chickens. Like Beastmaster's did. (Beastmaster actually had ferrets, I think, whom he called "my friends," but I don't have a ferret video so just play along and pretend he had a prairie dog. Sometimes a post's theme is like Olivia Nuzzi's metaphors -- it has to be forced.)

A bird, maybe an owl, camouflages itself as a log. I'm just glad it didn't reveal itself to be a spider.

Here's the Beastmaster training his dog to dance. (The Beastmaster had a dog, he just wasn't in the movie.)

Lion brothers fight over the bed.

Beastmaster definitely had a leopard. (Or a panther, though commenters have told me these are the same animal.) That one's right on the poster.

beastmastermoviephoto.jpg

Here's the trailer. They make a direct appeal to the Dungeons and Dragons set. I don't really remember the trailer. I do remember that it was on HBO after school, every single day, playing multiple times between 3 and 8. HBO used to reserve R-rated movies for night time and that meant the day was nonstop Beastmaster, Rocky III, Labyrinth, and then topped off by another airing of Beastmaster. Sometimes Beastmaster would come on right after If You Could See What I Hear, about some blind guy, and then you'd have Marc Singer double feature. Here's part one of that great movie.

This is claimed to be the best parts of Beastmaster. The best parts of Beastmaster are actually just "all of Beastmaster," thank you very much.

This was Don Coscarelli's follow-up to Phantasm. Odd move but I guess he just needed to tell the story of Dar.

Beastmaster only has three gears: Awesome, So Awesome You Wouldn't Even Believe It, and the highest gear, "Beastmaster."

Suddenly it took off and flew right at her house, nailing something that looked like a vine or twig hanging from the siding.

The edited tv versions always cut it out. But the one on the Home Beastmaster Office channel kept it in. And I think it was on HBO at least once a week or more.

Tubi is streaming it. I just started it to rewatch once again. The three witches around the caldron are sporting a serious lap dance vibe if you take away the makeup.

A ferret most definitely dies. It's nearly as bad as the ending of Old Yeller.

Trump Turns Turkey Pardoning Ceremony Into Roast of Joe Biden's Autopen Pardons

These pardons weren't signed by autopen. They'll hold up in court.


President Trump turned Tuesday's White House turkey pardon into a full-blown political roast, using the annual tradition to take a swipe at Joe Biden's "autopen" pardons and even joking that he briefly considered naming this year's birds "Chuck and Nancy."

...

Turning to Gobble and Waddle--described by Trump as "two of the fattest, happiest turkeys we've ever had here"--the president joked that when he first saw their photos, he almost went with "Chuck and Nancy." "But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them," he added. "I would never pardon those two people."

Gobble and Waddle join a long list of clemency actions in Trump's second term, a tally that already exceeds 1,700 pardons along with numerous commutations. Trump joked that several aides were prematurely preparing to send the birds through El Salvador's anti-gang confinement system--a reference to the administration's deportation push. "Even these turkeys don't want to go there," he said.

Trump also veered into Chicago crime. The president has repeatedly accused Pritzker and the city's mayor of refusing to work with him on a federal crime-reduction effort. "The mayor is incompetent and the governor is a big fat slob," Trump said, stressing that the prepared joke went too easy on Pritzker. "Some speechwriter wrote something about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to say he's a fat slob. I'd like to lose a few pounds too, by the way--and I'm not going to lose it on Thanksgiving."

A DOJ employee was arrested and booked on terrorism and evidence tampering charges for doxxing a federal agent during a raid in Brownsville, Texas.

Karen Olvera De Leon, an employee with the US Attorney’s Office in Brownsville, appeared on a live stream of a federal raid on June 9.

A male joined the livestream and issued a death threat against one of the federal agents conducting a raid.

Another viewer of the livestream, later identified as Karen Olvera De Leon, doxxed the federal agent and provided his identity to the man issuing the death threat.

There are a few people who Trump pardoned that the Left is screaming over. They claim that they are "supporters" and being pardoned because of that.

In reality, they were prosecuted because the were Trump supporters, and it is good and proper for Trump to undo the unfair and biased prosecutions, especially since the courts, juries, judges, and even defense conspired against them.

91 First Pardoning: The first recorded instance of a turkey being spared was by President Abraham Lincoln, who reportedly pardoned a turkey at his son’s request during the Civil War.

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

According to Web search, Lincoln was first to pardon one because his son Tad asked to. Given the average boy's attitudes I question this.

Most of the facts in this seems to be squishy.

I am NOT a good cook, and generally do only simple things.

My version on those little potatoes: bake them until almost done, then smush a crater in the middle with the back of a spoon, add a pat of butter with some grated cheese, crumbled bacon (and some sour cream for the people that like it). Bake for five more minutes and serve.

I can eat about five of them like that if I have been working at the farm.

125 For gold potatoes, I do them one of two ways.

You can do them as a normal baked potato. Take a sheet of aluminum foil and grease it (oil works, butter is better). Wrap the potato in the greased foil and bake it for a while. Around an hour at 350 should do it, but keep an eye on it Unwrap 'em, cut 'em in half, go to town with whatever you like on a baked potato.

The other way is sort of roasted, which is my preference. Cut them in half long-ways and array them on a baking sheet. Put salt and pepper on them in quantities that match your preference. Put a generous - if it looks like too much, it's probably enough - amount of butter on each potato half. Use Irish butter if you have it. Bake for about an hour or so at 350. You can convert it to broil for a minute or two at the end to brown them if desired.

171 Fenelon, he also said in a speech and letters that one way to get rid of an enemy was to make him your friend. I think on that comment often.

I recently read a story of Sherman's troops, where one unit was resting on the front lawn of a plantation house during a march, while the women of the plantation were watching them carefully from the porch, and one of the men noticed the ground where he was laying had been disturbed. With a whoop to his buddies that he had found treasure buried to keep it from the Union soldiers, they started digging and unearthed a reeking box that turned out to have the decayed body of a spaniel in it.

One of the ladies on the porch commented archly, "Poor Curly isn't destined to find peace in this world or the next, that's the third time he's been dug up today."

The basis of all comedy, is cruelty. It can be talking about your Husband 'Fang' (Phyliss Diller), or yourself (Rodney Dangerfield), or slapstick like the Stooges (themselves)... or making fun of the Government or Society.... but there is always 'the butt' of the joke.

Comedians are afraid to be cruel now... or someone will complain and they will get cancelled.

Trump is not afraid to be cruel.

Amazing: The New York Times Profiles an Illegal Alien Who Stole an American Man's Identity and Caused Him 20 Years of Legal Nightmares.
The Times Say They're Both Victims.

Via David Strom, who quotes the New York Times asserting that both the citizen whose identity was stolen, and the identity thief himself, are both victims of the same broken system and equally deserving of our sympathies.

nytbothpaidtheprice.jpg


Dan Kluver saw the police lights flashing in his rearview mirror late last year and eased his car onto the shoulder, thinking there had been some kind of mistake. He had spent four decades in rural Minnesota without ever getting into trouble. He prided himself on a life built around dependability and routine, working at the same factory where his father once did and spending his weekends coaching baseball and teaching Sunday school. He had never fired a gun, or smoked a cigarette, or missed a payment, or been arrested.

"License and registration, please," the officer said. Kluver, 42, handed them over and waited while the officer went back to his patrol car. He listened to the church bells that rang every hour and watched sunlight reflect off the grain silos in downtown Olivia, where he knew most of the 2,400 residents, including the officer who was walking back to his car.

"Is everything all right?" Kluver asked.

"It's strange, but it looks like your license has been suspended," the officer said. "You've got another driver's license with some issues down in Missouri."

"What?" Kluver said. "I've barely ever been to Missouri. How's that possible?"

The officer had no answers, but Kluver feared he might know what was happening. Over the years, there had been signs that something wasn't right -- stray letters about wages earned in unfamiliar towns and collection notices for debt that wasn't his. Kluver had tried to untangle the mess several times by hiring tax specialists and driving to government offices across the state only to run into the same bureaucratic dead ends. But now the problem was bigger than unpaid taxes. Someone was impersonating him, moving through the world as Dan Kluver, building a life in his name with a government-issued ID.

The identity thief used his Social Security to illegally work. The thief kept the money paid for his illegal labor -- but this citizen got "credited" with the thief's salary, which pushed his tax liabilities up, pushing him, in fact, into a higher tax bracket.

He was expected to pay the taxes on the thief's earnings while the thief kept the earnings himself.

As you can see, they were both victims here.

...

Some years the other Dan Kluver had earned more than his own salary at a local sugar beet factory, which pushed the total income under his Social Security number into a higher tax bracket as the debt started to mount. Twice, he'd contacted law enforcement and filed an identity theft report with the federal government, where it landed in a pile along with tens of thousands of similar reports filed each year. He waited for relief while the I.R.S. docked his annual tax returns and garnished a few of his paychecks, costing him thousands. Finally, a few months before their wedding in 2012, Kristy decided to pay off the balance, emptying her savings and sending in a check for $6,000. Their relief lasted until the next tax season, when a new bill arrived -- this one for $22,000.

They spent the next decade living with the consequences -- annual tax audits, budgets that never added up, whispered arguments after the kids went to bed. Kluver kept calling government numbers and waiting on hold until he eventually resigned himself to a payment plan. He agreed to send the I.R.S. $150 each month, which he'd done more than 35 times. "I can't keep obsessing over this and getting nowhere," he told Kristy. "I need to think about something else."

Now the Times turns to the thief. I mean, The Other, More Deserving Victim.

He had lived under enough names and numbers in the United States that they started to blur together. Vincent Trujillo. Reynaldo Guerra. And then, for more than a decade, Daniel Kluver -- the name he used until he could barely remember what it felt like to exist as himself: Romeo Pérez-Bravo, 42, a Guatemalan immigrant who had spent most of his adult life working under borrowed identities.

"Borrowed." They won't even say "stolen."

...

Perez-Bravo had come to the United States for the first time at 16 to help earn money for his family, traveling alone to join his father in Marshall, Minn. He hiked out of the Guatemalan highlands, rode atop a freight train for three weeks across Mexico, nearly drowned in the Rio Grande and took a Greyhound to Middle America, where life somehow felt harder. He slept on a couch in his father's apartment and enrolled in high school despite speaking almost no English. Then he began to look for a job, but no one would hire an underage worker without papers.

No one would hire an illegal immigrant barred by the law from working, you mean.

He's definitely the victim. He was forced to steal Dan Kluvin's identity and make his life a living hell.

Read the whole thing from David Strom. The New York Times continues doubling down on the narrative that the first victim of Perez-Bravo's serial identity theft was... Perez-Bravo himself.



The narrative, man. Stick to the narrative. The law-abiding citizen whose life is being turned upside-down may be a victim, but Perez-Bravo has a story to tell, too.


This is exactly the kind of logic that lets criminals walk the streets after tens of arrests. They are people too, so if you look at it the right way, everybody is a victim.

And Kluver is white, so really, he is the privileged one and should be happy to help out his brown brother, who suffers from oppression that is almost as bad as Michelle Obama's.

And he also "paid the price."


He was charged with aggravated identity theft and false representation of a Social Security number and was held in detention for six weeks before an initial bond hearing in April. The State of Missouri argued that he was a flight risk who needed to remain in custody until the trial. "What's to stop him from going out and getting another identity and just living underneath that," the prosecutor told the judge. "We've seen that before."

But Perez-Bravo had most of his family and several members of his church at the hearing, and his lawyer said that he was "connected to the city in deep ways."

The Times believes that it was outrageous for the prosecutor to assert that this serial identity thief might just steal another identity and flee the court's jurisdiction under a new name if he were set free.

Absolutely outrageous! He has "deep" "connections" to the city he's currently living illegally in!

Amber Duke was herself a victim of a identity thief.

Almost as much a victim of identity thief as the identity thief herself.

She doesn't think her identity thief was the Real Victim Here.


About seven years ago, my identity was stolen in a data breach. I found out fairly quickly because one of the thieves made a mistake: the receipts for their fraudulent purchases were sent to my email address. It still took almost two weeks to shut down the accounts opened in my name and clear them from my credit reports. I was constantly stressed and paranoid and couldn't focus on anything else in my life until my credit was cleared and locked down.

I was lucky that I caught the identity theft early. Some people spend years digging themselves out after someone else pretends to be them.

...

Pérez-Bravo had stolen multiple identities throughout his time in the U.S. While living here, he got several DUIs. He was deported in 2005, 2008 and 2009 but came back each time and stole another American's info.


...

The story gets even more unbelievable from there. Pérez-Bravo was involved in a fatal accident that killed a 68-year-old grandfather and injured his 9-year-old granddaughter. He was cleared of wrongdoing but the family filed a wrongful death suit against Kluver, whose name was on the fake license Pérez-Bravo provided at the scene.

The police eventually found Pérez-Bravo and he has been charged for his crimes. Nonetheless, the NYT report paints him as just as much a sympathetic victim as Kluver, describing him as a family man and hard worker who essentially had no choice but to steal an identity so he could make money for his family.

I'm so sick of it.

If liberals want to impose liberal policies on the country, they have to at least make sure the worst excesses of those policies are checked.

They cannot allow maniacs to prowl the subway stations throwing grandmothers in front of trains, for example.

And they cannot lionize criminal identity thief illegals.

They have to show that they can demonstrate compassion without turning all of society into violent chaos.

But they can't -- and the new breed doesn't even try.

Their attitude is You deserve it, Colonialist Oppressors.

So all of the illegals will have to go. If there's no protection for the citizens, there is certainly no protection for the fucking illegals.

Kick them out. Kick them all out.

29 Everyone needs some credit monitoring service. It’s pretty cheap $10/mo usually. Get it and check it often. Any new debt will show up there and you can take action. And on top of that lock your credit at all 3 credit bureaus, transunion, experian and equitable. This way no credit checks can be done on you. Without that it’s tough to open new accounts.

It’s not 100% full proof but goes a long way in stopping this kind of nightmare from happening.

41 Ace is gradually working his way to my position. If the new breed of leftist can't be reasoned with, you need to get rid of their props (criminals both native and alien). That's Ace's current position.

My further position (which he and others will eventually get to), is that if these leftists aren't bound to any kind of shared ethics like Kennedy or Carter arguably were, we have to get rid of the leftists too.

Hell, we should give stays of deportation to illegals who will help us get rid of native born leftists. That would be amusing (and then we could make money broadcasting the results).

Whoever got my identity was local because he kept opening cell phone and internet accounts in my name and actually got a town dump pass using my identity. He even voted in my place once which I find extremely disturbing and insane.


He opened an ebay account with my info and sold tons of fake stuff on it before it finally caught up with him. I found out one night when some random guy called me about a $64,000 antique guitar I was supposedly selling on ebay. He got suspicious and looked my real name up and called our home phone instead of the ebay listing number. We had to lock everything down but he kept opening cell phone accounts in my name for months after that.

This is internally impossible. The premise here is nonsensical. The only point in pursuing a policy is to pursue it to its maximum level. Even if that isn't the *intent,* it absolutely will be the *outcome.* All policies are pursued to their maximum absurdity. This is one of many reasons the originalist policy of, essentially, "have no policy at all wherever possible" is so valuable - it, too, is pursued to its maximum until policy changes.

This is inevitable. The leftists' policies will be pursued to the maximum. No checks. No limits. It can be no other way. Same goes for non-leftist policy, of course, but I prefer non-leftist policies in general.

Since when does "compassion" have anything to do with anything? They barely even mouth the words anymore, and they never had any meaning.

It isn't about being "good" or "moral" or "compassionate" or whatever. It can't be even if that was the initial intent (which I doubt). A person can be charitable or compassionate or whatever else, but an institution cannot be. Institutional compassion is a contradiction in terms and trying to make one - or pretending to be one - can lead only to pathological excess of whatever it is the institution is doing.

-------

I think its a simpler story than we're full. We lock our personal residence (even if one rents). We do that because we choose who we allow to enter, and when, and under what circumstances. There are people who I would let in were they to drop by at 6 in the evening that aren't gaining entry at 2 in the morning. There are other people who won't be allowed entry at all.

Why would running a country's borders be any different than managing one's front door?

117 Also, freeze your credit accounts. Yes, it's a pain in the ass. Yes, if you want credit in the future, you have to find out which bureau(s) the lender uses and unfreeze it for a temporary period to let them process it.

But freezing your credit is free and a very effective step to thwart identity fraud. It stops not only falsely-issued credit, but stops many other uses of your identity. Utility companies, landlords, etc. often run credit and it blocks that. Banks always will, and it will block accounts being opened in your name. It won't block other uses of your SSN, but it significantly reduces your attack surface.

You can do "credit monitoring" if you want to, but freezing your credit is free and effective.

And crack down on those aiding and abetting the criminal cartels in moving the illegals around, providing them services. (shut down of USAID can stop a lot of that).

This has been a thing for years. The Dems have even complained that it is a reasona we can't "afford" to deport them.

Go ahead, try to file two returns and get two refunds, and tell us how that works out for you.

The illegals don't file, they don't get refunds, and in return the IRS and Treasury ignores their use of the SSNs. Everyone who has been exposed to the scam knows how this works, and it is why you can use the same SSN for a dozen illegals.

178 Garnishing someone for wages earned by an illegal using their name and SSN is very common. Often it can be solved by declaring a stolen ID, but sometimes the state or feds don't care because f___ you pay me.

This is why I insist the first step to resolve this is for taxing authorities to refuse to allow employee write-offs to the employer for wages paid if there is a mismatch for SSN DOB and name, or if the employee shows up in multiple states or multiple employers.
There can be a three year period in which if the employer can get the employee to provide proof of identity the employer can amend or refile, otherwise it is flagged as fraudulent.

184 Also, freeze your credit accounts. Yes, it's a pain in the ass. Yes, if you want credit in the future, you have to find out which bureau(s) the lender uses and unfreeze it for a temporary period to let them process it.

But freezing your credit is free and a very effective step to thwart identity fraud. It stops not only falsely-issued credit, but stops many other uses of your identity. Utility companies, landlords, etc. often run credit and it blocks that. Banks always will, and it will block accounts being opened in your name. It won't block other uses of your SSN, but it significantly reduces your attack surface.

You can do "credit monitoring" if you want to, but freezing your credit is free and effective.

True, but Nietzsche is not saying that's "moral", he's saying that's a base morality. He prefers it to "Slave Morality" which says "I am Evil". People who sublimate Nietzsche would say that FN really believes that a "Master Morality" refined through an appreciation of "aesthetics" (art) is really the better path forward.

"Master Morality" is not a suggestion, but a description of existing moral-related behavior.

For Some Reason, Vanity Fair Will Publish an "Abstract Nude" Photo of Its New West Coast Editor and Weird Dick-Riding Flake Olivia Nuzzi

What is an "abstract nude"? I don't know. I imagine it's a nude photo which has been digitally altered with various effects and geometric pixelations so you can't see her beaver.

And based on reports, you'll be among the very select group of people who haven't seen her beaver.

This is the media now. This is "journalism."

And do we want to see this? I grant you that she does not have any particular feature which would disqualify her from being "attractive." She's not hugely overweight, she's not decrepitly aged, she has the full complement of limbs and teeth.

But beyond that, is this... "beautiful"? As literally every media outlet demands you believe?

nuzziabstractnude.jpg

She's a Panera Bread 5.

But whatever, you're going to get to see a picture of her beaver as digitally altered by an Instagram filter. Maybe her beaver will have wacky year 2000 New Years Eve glasses on it or something.


My headline "Olivia Nuzzi's Got a Fuzzi and Wants All the World to See It" turns out to have been prescient, no?

Almost as if I owned a time machine, which I will have assured you, in the future, that I do not have.


Vanity Fair's glossy Hollywood issue will feature an abstract nude portrait of scandal-plagued editor Olivia Nuzzi -- even as staffers privately gripe that she has failed to carry out core duties since joining the magazine, according to a report.

The portrait, drawn by artist Isabelle Brourman, will appear in the new print edition that is scheduled to hit newsstands on Dec. 2. No image of the drawing appears to have been circulated publicly, and it's unclear if renderings of the drawing have been produced or circulated among Vanity Fair staffers.

Oh it's a drawing? So it'll be like a cubist sketch of her beaver?

Will it be Escher-like? Will we see various older men walking up and down non-Euclidean stairs into her beaver?

The sketch was commissioned months before the latest wave of allegations engulfed the 32-year-old writer, according to Status.

Brourman previously collaborated with Nuzzi during her tenure at New York Magazine, which ended weeks after it was learned that she had a "sexting" relationship with then-presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.


The inclusion of the abstract sketch in Vanity Fair's marquee issue has fueled internal backlash at a moment when the publication is already struggling to contain the fallout of her most recent controversies.

Apparently some staffers complain that, apart from lining up her next affair with a Democrat politician forty years her senior, she doesn't seem to work very much.


Inside Vanity Fair, the controversy has collided with mounting frustration over Nuzzi's limited output. Staffers told Status she has skipped routine meetings and failed to turn in assigned work.

Two people told the newsletter that one of her other editing assignments for the most recent issue of the magazine was not completed, leaving colleagues scrambling as the publication closed one of its most scrutinized annual issues.

The turbulence has placed newly appointed editorial director Mark Guiducci under immediate pressure.

Guiducci, who took over in June, has addressed staff at least twice since the allegations resurfaced, according to the Status report.

At a team meeting Thursday, he explained how he first met Nuzzi and tried to calm anxieties inside the newsroom, the newsletter reported.

He also downplayed the allegations, calling them "difficult to investigate because they occurred while she was employed elsewhere," according to Status.

But some staffers remain skeptical that Nuzzi can continue in an editing role when she has produced little work while generating heavy turbulence, according to Status.

Is her talent of such a high level that she's worth all of this "turbulence?"

Well, having skimmed excerpts from her sexual tell-all book American Canto -- which reportedly will feature some of the dirty sexts she exchanged with RFKJr. -- I would say that, as a writer, she's no Ryan Lizza.

Not enough bamboo, for one thing.

She begins by discussing the fires that consumed the Palisades, and asserts that the Palisades fires were very much like the negative publicity she received after her sexting affair was exposed.


A few minutes later, the planes swooped down to spray the flames in the bluffs. I watched from the Pacific Coast Highway, as far away from my problems as I could get on land, which was not far enough.

You cannot outrun your life on fire.

Below, apparently her cute gimmick is to refer to RFKJr. only as "The Politician," even though we all know who she means and in fact her publisher's publicity department is out there selling the book by promising RFKJr.'s sext messages.


I would take a bullet for you," the Politician said. He always said that. "Please don't say that," I said. I always said that. From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible.

What?

I did not like to think about it. About the armed man at his speech. Or the armed man who broke into his home. Or the armed men he paid to guard him from armed men who sought to harm him while the federal government denied his pleas for protection from the security agency whose modern protocols were carved by the same bullets that cut boughs from his family tree and cut the track of the American experiment.


I did not like to think about it just as later I would not like to think about the worm in his brain that other people found so funny. I loved his brain. I hated the idea of an intruder therein. Others thought he was a madman; he was not quite mad the way they thought, but I loved the private ways that he was mad. I loved that he was insatiable in all ways, as if he would swallow up the whole world just to know it better if he could. He made me laugh, but I winced when he joked about the worm. "Baby, don't worry," he said. "It's not a worm." A doctor he trusted had reviewed the scans of his brain obtained by The New York Times, he said, and concluded that the shadowy figure was likely not a parasite at all. He sighed. It was too late to interfere with what had already vaulted from the sphere of meme to the sphere of screwy legend, but at least I did not have to worry about the worm that was not a worm in his brain.

Let me interrupt to say that Sex and the City ruined would-be female writer.

That show established the terrible trope that female writers are supposed to always look at some very mundane, very trivial AWFL consumer purchase and then make "clever" observations about it and spin that into some (let me get out my supply of Superfluous Quotes) " " " " deep " " " " point about life and -- especially -- dating and sex.

Like, for example, Sarah Jessica Parker will be munching an everything bagel and wondering if all the spices clash with each other and then begin babbling about whether or not one can or should try to have an "everything relationship" or if one should have separate bagels -- different people -- to fulfill different needs. Maybe we need a Sex Bagel and a Confidante Bagel and a Going Shopping on Sunday Bagel. Maybe it's wrong to expect or even want an Everything Bagel for every situation.

I don't know how that monologue would continue because I just shot myself through the temple. Good-bye Cruel World.

Avenge me.

You get what I'm talking about though, right?, I asked ghostilly. This horrific trope has infected so much female writing that... okay, I just basically won't read modern female writers. I pre-judge them. I assume that they're going to do the Sex and the City "clever" observations thing and I say: No.


This reminds me of John Scalzi's quote: The failure state of "clever" is "asshole." In other words, if you try to be funny but the joke doesn't land, the failure state is that you weren't funny. If you try to make a serious point but fail to convince, the failure state is that you did not persuade your audience.

But if you try to be "clever" -- meaning, what you're really saying isn't about the joke or the statement, it's about you, and it's about you trying to convince people that you're oh-so "clever" and smart -- the failure state isn't just that you failed to be clever.

The failure state is that you're an asshole.

I think that's true. Yes, I don't like failed jokes, but I really despise failed "cleverness." Cleverness is a particularly smug, look-at-me form of expression that really rankles when it fails. (Which is often.)

Olivia Nuzzi and Her Abstract Nude Fuzzi does not quite cross into Sarah Jessica Parker talking about bagels territory, but you can see the damage that that terrible show (written entirely by gay men) did to future female writers.

...

As a child, I became convinced that death was not random, that life was the process of investigating what the point of it was, and as soon as you figured it out, in that very instant, you would ascend. God would eliminate you from this plane. He could not risk a leaker walking among the ignorant. The assignment was to crack the case for yourself. And when I would find myself thinking too hard about the central question, I would back away slowly, thinking, Well, I will return to this matter some other time when I feel more ready to possibly meet my end. What if I guessed correctly?

The unsolvable puzzle. Tripping once, on a balcony in Washington overlooking the National Cathedral. Smoking what I did not know was my final cigarette. Unless someone offers me a Capri, which does not count. The great cosmic riddle, I figured I had solved it. The joke was that the joke was never done being told.

Maybe we need a Philosphical Musing Bagel that we can make gaseous philosophical speculations with.


The wildfire is over my shoulder now, over the hill. The waxing gibbous moon is over my head. A thought bubble, it shines blankly. Across the country, the Politician is the guest of honor. Across the country with his wife. With Mike Tyson for some reason. People are mocking the photos, asking where I am, asking how she could stand there after all that.

I know how. The earth here is hot. Inside the bonfire, what evidence can I burn? I think of all I turned to ash in hotel rooms. I think of how you cannot burn a cloud. I think of the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, how there were so many, how the officials did not know what to do with them, and how fire seldom seemed to occur, though the White House and the president's properties are studded with fireplaces. Too easy. I worry.

She really thinks her life is like the Palisades Fires, which killed, what, like 20 people?


I worry about evil. If it is a force, if it is like the Santa Ana winds, if it may come on suddenly, if it may grab hold, if it may depart but not completely, if it may leave word, if the word might sound good, if I might again believe it. The snake charmer, the man-eater, the devil himself. Was it ever a question, that where there was a cloak there would be a dagger? A friend told me once, "Never trust anyone wearing a lapel pin." This politician did not wear one of those.

Midnight, 3,000 acres burning.

A politician's greatest trick is to convince you that he is not one. And what is a politician? Any man who wants to be loved more than other men and through his pursuit reveals why he cannot love himself.

People ask me now about anger. About my lack of it. How? How could I not be enraged? I think this over. I scan the terrain of my body. My chest, my spine, behind my belly button. I look for pale pulses of idle fury, waiting for the alarm to sound at the trip wire of my veins. There is nothing there. There is nothing there because I loaded a gun. I loaded a gun and set it on my nightstand.

You cannot live in America without thinking about guns, without thinking that one day you might not live anymore in America, and the reason will be a gun. 46,728 lives ended in America in 2023 because of a gun. 27,300 suicides. 17,927 homicides. 604 police shootings. 463 accidents. 434 undetermined. On the 405, a billboard announces that gun injuries are the number one cause of death for American children. You think: A gun will protect me from guns. Then you recall the statistic, that a gun in your home doubles your chances of dying by homicide. Still I loaded a gun. I loaded a gun and set it on my nightstand.

God, I know You have more important matters on Your mind, but: Why do You allow this evil?

The existence of Olivia Nuzzi's writing proves that God cannot both be all-good and all-powerful.

Now back to "The Politician." Shit, even there she's aping Sex and the City, as Carrie only referred to her real estate millionaire fuck-buddy as "Mr. Big." I don't think they revealed his actual name.


...

Like all men but more so, he was a hunter. In a literal sense, he used not a bullet but a bird. It was not about a chase but about a puzzle of logic and skill that amounted to a test of his self-mastery. He was the mouse and the architect of his maze. The giver of his own pleasure and torment. He desired. He desired desiring. He desired being desired. He desired desire itself. I understood this just as I came to understand the range of his kinks and complexes and how they fit within what I thought I understood of his soul.

The spark, the flame, the rumor fulfilled. The labyrinth on fire. The Palisades fire.

10:30 a.m., 10 acres burning.

10:50 a.m., 20 acres burning.

What the fuck are you talking about, Madam, and would you mind stopping talking about it?

She continues likening her out-of-control life to the California wildfires and then gets back to Mr. Big, I mean, The Politician.

A politician's greatest trick is to convince you that he is not one. And what is a politician? Any man who wants to be loved more than other men and through his pursuit reveals why he cannot love himself.

It was the flag. When I close my eyes in search of the end or the start, the place at which before stopped and beyond which now began, that is what I see. The blur of colors, the flash of red, of blue, of white, stretched and folded, pulled apart, undefined yet unmistakable, the flag. There was no one day, one moment, one event, one decision, one word that marked the change. There was the flag as it mutated from metaphorical to literal weapon, as it was marred by a corruption of the American character that could not be understood or even fully observed through the prism of the partisan binary. Which is to say that it was the flag, but it was not about the flag, not about notions of patriotism or nationalism or idolatry. It was the flag that thrashed in psychedelic distress, suggested a bend in lanes of reason, a tear in the fabric of consensus reality.

Maybe she needs a Flag Metaphor Bagel, too.

You see what I mean? This is just Carrie Bradshaw Does Politics. She's obsessing over a mundane physical thing, a flag, and attempting to babble about it until she accidentally uncovers the secrets of the universe.


In this period of now, from 2015 to 2025, in which the man through whom the culture was synthesized achieved dominance, I found myself fixated on the flag, on the way the flag expressed how the country was warping, and yet the magnitude of this change could not be categorized appropriately or cataloged completely amid such amnesia. At the southern border or the White House or the Midwestern auto factory or the boat in the Atlantic or the truck rolling beside the Pacific, the very flag that had been clutched like pearls at the turn of the century was refashioned as costume jewelry. Red, white, and blue asphyxiated blue, gray, and black. Stars and Stripes a backdrop for the star of the country. One stripe remade a banner across which his campaign slogan crawled.

She's talking about a flag, but, get this, she's really talking about Trump.

Clever.

And you know what they say about the failure state of clever.

...

As the edited flags waved strange and ominous, my job was to bear witness to the processes of American presidential politics, to travel the country and attempt to understand those who sought or wielded or influenced executive power. I had never been interested in politics, exactly.

Really? You don't say. I couldn't tell that you were not at all interested in politics from the way you were babbling about the outer perimeters of politics while trying to remain focused on what really matters, the worm in the Politician's brain.

Here she continues babbling some nonsense vaguely about "politics." As she's already confessed, she's not interested in politics, but she's writing a book that purports to be about politics, and this is the best she can offer: fractured sense-impressions half-remembered from that time she took magic mushrooms while watching Abby Philip interviewing Brian Stelter.

Everything seemed suddenly flexible. With all information available at all times to all people, all matters appeared potentially negotiable. Fine fractures splintered deep, fanned out far, cracked up for good. The parties were over. The system was moot. Vast interconnectedness and mass overstimulation gave way to individual isolation and nihilistic boredom so total that it all but invited the ascendant mob-mentality politics of comic relief and sadistic catharsis.

Our more flammable world. Arson, the national pastime. Self-immolation, well.

Just like everything is Bagels with Carrie Bradshaw, so with Olivia Nuzzi everything is fire.

...

Events lost context. Words lost meaning. Denier. Nothing could be believed because everything was subject to change. Truther. Everything could be believed because anything was possible; this was at once inspirational slogan and active threat.

Psst: She's still babbling about Trump, in case you fell asleep six vague paragraphs ago.


A promise was only a suggestion. A suggestion was only a joke, unless you were not moved to laugh; then the joke was on you.

In this reality, reality ceased to feel real.

Shots rang out. The story of the relationship had broken, the bullet metaphorical. My phone rang again. "I need you to take a bullet for me," the Politician said. "Please."

New York closed in. City and magazine. New York I fled. I drove west. I did not feel alone now. Not yet.

What I felt was that the country had snaked its hand up my skirt. What I felt was that I had been lanced by the teeth of a trap set by a man who could not let me go; that as I tried to free myself, the man for whom I worked had run off with the key to the padlock; that the contradiction in terms, the man I trusted most, the Politician, had walked by the scene whistling, and when he saw me there, a mob on the horizon moving closer, he reached out to me, not to lift me to my feet but to pin me down, to drive the teeth of the trap deeper into my flesh, to hike my skirt higher, to wave the mob over to look, to invite the country to lay its hands on me.

This is her very overwrought way of saying, "RFKJr. asked me to lie about the sexting affair for him and I was hurt that we would ask that."

But it sounds so mundane when you say it that way. So instead we get a lot Jazz Odyssey riffing about hands going up skirts and flesh being torn by steel traps.

Also, I'm pretty sure, we'll be hearing about The Fire That Is My Fabulous Life again shortly.

And flags. Weaponized flags.


In the news, the Politician offers a united front and a rewritten history. My vow of silence does not feel like enough. I wish to fall silent on myself too. I wish to sink into the sea. To flee behind the curve of the earth. To emerge a new shape, a stranger. To stop giving fake names in coffee shops. To never see myself, the character of myself imagined by others, viral allegory of hubris, female avatar of Icarus, stripped and left for dead in a pool of wax. I do not wish to be understood, which no one seems to understand.

As Shakespeare observed: Brevity may be the soul of wit, but padding the hell out a few trivial incidents is the only way to extend an anecdote into book-length form.

Birds of prey circle. It is inconceivable, it seems, that someone would choose to allow a crisis to go to waste, would not want to make of their attention more attention, would not want to reap some kind of short-term profit from the mess of their life.

The paparazzi, the calculating ones, write to tell me where their colleagues are staking me out. New York. Washington. Outside my brother's house, where they get into an altercation with a neighbor. Never anywhere I am. They think that if they do me this favor, I will cut a deal and agree to be photographed by them in exchange for what they advertise as control over my image. My Image, a ship that has sailed and sunk. The offer includes a promise that doubles as a threat: If I accept their terms, I will be left alone the rest of the time, which means that if I do not accept their terms, I will not be left alone.

Let me put that more directly: Reporters are calling her asking for comment on the sexting affair. She doesn't want to answer.

The fire burns.

...

I am talking, of course, about how it happened between me and the Politician. I am talking, of course, about how it happened between the country and the president. I cannot talk about one without the other.

Trump had its way with America like RFKJr. had his way with her?

What?

A long time ago I listed to a podcast by the We Hate Movies guys about the Steven King movie Dreamcatcher. A joke they kept making was that Steven King was in his coke phase -- meaning, "his entire career" -- in which he never edited, revised, or trimmed anything he wrote. Everything just came right out of his head, unpolished, straight to the page and then straight to typeset and publication.

"Clickety-clack," they kept saying, to simulate the sound of Steven King's never-pausing typewriter vomiting up words.

Olivia Nuzzi is a clickety-clack "writer" herself. Is my life like fire? Clickety-clack. Maybe it's like a bear trap tearing into my ankle? Clickety-clack. Maybe Trump's seduction of America is like RFKJr. seducing me? Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack, we're contractually obligated to deliver 80,000 words to the publisher by next Tuesday and we absolutely cannot afford the time needed to evaluate whether any of this makes sense and we definitely cannot afford to start cutting words. We have to just add words, and add words, and add more words, whether they make sense when arranged next to each other or not.

Clickety-clack.

In the discourse someone I have met before jokes about my murder. Others contact me to warn me that such a thing is not a joke but a possibility. I was not going to sleep anyhow.

Spoiler: She was not murdered.

People often, often people I do not know very well, reach out to tell me that I have appeared in their dreams. I wonder if this is because I sleep so little.

Clickety-clack.

If the version of me who lives on the plane of dreams tires of waiting for me to release her to action, if she goes out searching for places where she may exist without my permission, if she identifies the minds of those who have felt any kindness toward me, if she thinks that within their dreams she might get to live freely instead. I wonder, too, if this is a function of being a visible face but a veiled personality. If my impression contains empty space that renders me an adaptable idea and thus a useful device for subconscious minds. It is nice to think of this, that I might still be in some way, to someone, of use.

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack. Remember, she's not interest in politics. That's why we're now Eight Deep into an extended narcissistic fantasy about her appearing in other people's dreams.


I mean to tell you as best I can what it was to face the unrealness, to stand so close that it seemed at times almost plausible, to tiptoe along the edge of the abyss, and to balance there just long enough to forget that the plates would soon shift.

Shorter version: "My life felt unreal to me." But you're not going to hit 80,000 words with sentences like "My life felt unreal to me."

Clickety-clack.

I mean to tell you of the canyon where voices carried. The place where monsters spoke to me. Where I listened. Where I found that, as fortune or curse would have it, I knew the language of monsters....

Because I care about you, I'm going to do what Little Miss Clickety-Clack will not do and edit this and end this fresh prologned digression about nothing. But she continues babbling about monsters and canyons.

No I lied, I'm including it. You've all been disappointing me recently and this is what you get.


I mean to tell you that, as it relates to monsters, little can be assured beyond their ceaseless want. That you feed the monster, and the monster wants only more. That here you have surrendered to the endless transaction, and through the terms on which you meet the monster you are transformed monstrous, too, for the day that the monster is done wanting is the day that the sun does not rise; want makes the monster as sun makes the day.

Okay but I will show mercy and cut it there.

I mean to tell you that this is more meaningful and more meaningless than you might think.

As to the latter: I'm sold, baby.

...

The flag winked beside the lanes that bent to borders that faded to barriers that fell to the lines I crossed.

Back to this metaphor which stands for nothing at all.

..

When I open my eyes I see, still, the blur of colors, the flash of red, of blue, of white.

I mean to tell you now as best I can.

251 I was watching a video where a left of center guy posted Elon's tweet about watching fictional resistance movements and people then not getting it in real life and it amused me that the video guy went to great lengths to say "yes he really believes this" and...of course he does. You can't have watched the last 10 years of history and think he's wrong in fact.

But the left lives in this odd ever changing bubble. Do you know there is a literal trans-genocide? Ignore, for a moment that 10 years ago gay rights activists would have told you trannies were weird freaks and there are no such things as trans-rights.

So suddenly because the right side of the country didn't embrace their odd view of biology they are "under attack" and the "resistance".

I saw a leak of what the Russians are asking for and it looks about right - recognizing where the war is and frankly what the people living in those areas want.

346 Campbell's VP Admits Soup Is "S**t For F**king Poor People" With "Chicken... From A 3D-Printer"

Robert Garza, a cybersecurity analyst for the company, was meeting at a restaurant with Martin Bally, one of Campbell’s vice presidents, to discuss his salary.

He secretly recorded statements made by the VP and chief information security officer during a November 2024 meeting. In a rant that lasted over an hour, here are some of the things captured on the recording.

Local 4 News in Detroit broadcast portions of the recording. In it, a speaker identified as Bally is heard saying,
--“We have s**t for f***king poor people. Who buys our s**t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f**‘s in it.”

--He also referenced “bioengineered meat,” saying, “I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.”

Posted by: Ace at 04:20 PM

That fits with what I have found as a 29-year-old, that it gets harder and harder to meet and connect with people, since experience makes it clearer and clearer that it's unlikely to be worth it. There's a natural human tendency to be *worse* to people the closer they are, as if testing it, so you're likely to be treated better by them by remaining a mere acquaintance.

This ties in with the brilliant He-Man PSA meme that I have quoted before, "There are two kinds of people: avoid them both. Until next time, friends!" Some are charismatic jerks who will treat you shabbily because they're accustomed to getting away with it, and others are nice by habit because they're boring and accustomed to getting tossed at the first meanness. Then there's the worst of both worlds: middling people who are nice until you start to be their friend, at which point they start being jerks, as if in relief to finally (they think) be able to get away with it. Best to avoid both.

373 One of my favourite factoids about _Sex and the City_ is that the original book is much more realistic: Carrie Bradshaw routinely wakes up curled around the toilet with dried vomit and se*en in her hair. The book is _unflinching_ about just how self-destructive this empty lifestyle is. When it was optioned, and given to Darren Star, he said "Jesus, I can't make something out of this women will watch" - and proceeded to turn the whole thing into a consequence-less Cinderella fairy tale for slutty urban women.

And yet I know so many such women who take the show as gospel, as if it's realistic and relatable.

Leftwing Propaganda Media Declares DOGE Dead

Reuters is claiming that DOGE is dead.

They claimed disco was dead, too. But it still lives on in garrett's heart.

Matt Margolis reports on Reuters cutting and splicing an official's comments to make it sound like he's urging J6 protesters to burn down the Capitol.

Wait, that's what they did to Trump on J6. I mean, they edited his comments to make it sound like he's saying DOGE is dead, when that isn't what he said at all.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was launched with a bold mission: cut the fat out of the federal government and save taxpayer money. The left hates DOGE and everything about it.

So, you can imagine how thrilled Democrats were when Reuters reported on Monday that DOGE "doesn't exist" anymore.


U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate, ending an initiative launched with fanfare as a symbol of Trump's pledge to slash the government's size but which critics say delivered few measurable savings.

" That doesn't exist," Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about DOGE's status.

The media pounced on this narrative, declaring DOGE dead, the usual suspects drooling over their keyboards to write misleading headlines, delivering eulogies declaring DOGE a failure.

But, DOGE isn't dead. In fact, the article claiming that DOGE doesn't exist anymore was actually true. Kupor's full comments were spliced. Here's how the article actually read:


"That doesn't exist," Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about DOGE's status.

It is no longer a "centralized entity," Kupor added, in the first public comments from the Trump administration on the end of DOGE.

Kupor went on X and blasted Reuters for splicing his comments, clarifying that DOGE as a formal agency might be no more, and that its leadership has shifted under the U.S. Digital Service; the mission itself isn't dead.

Scott Kupor
@skupor

Good editing by @reuters - spliced my full comments across paragraphs 2/3 to create a grabbing headline 🙂 The truth is: DOGE may not have centralized leadership under @USDS. But, the principles of DOGE remain alive and well: de-regulation; eliminating fraud, waste and abuse; re-shaping the federal workforce; making efficiency a first-class citizen; etc. DOGE catalyzed these changes; the agencies along with @USOPM and @WHOMB will institutionalize them!


John Loftus writes that DOGE, whether technically dead or not, largely failed in its mission.


Unfortunately, Elon Musk wasn't able to deliver on the $2 trillion in savings, then cut to $1 trillion, he promised. (And this sparked his earlier feud with Trump.)


DOGE pledged to save the American taxpayers $1 trillion, but they have fallen well short of that goal, even according to their own accounting. As of Monday, DOGE's website claims the department had secured $214 billion in savings, equivalent to $1,329.19 per taxpayer, through a combination of "asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions."

...

All of these discrepancies suggest that DOGE has, in some cases, overstated the savings it achieved. A CBS News analysis published in August found that some cuts were overstated by as much as 97 percent.

DOGE secured minor victories, saved taxpayers a tiny chunk of change, and brought government waste, usually a dry topic, into the spotlight for several news cycles over the course of the year. But the fact remains that the Pentagon budget is still grossly high, with the Trump administration proposing a $1 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2026. Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill is estimated to increase deficits by $3.4 trillion over the next 10 years. The United States is $38 trillion in debt and counting. And DOGE's $214 billion in savings, whether that figure is even accurate or not, amounts to a drop of water in an ocean.

In a sense, DOGE was successful insofar as it was a marketing tool to placate fiscal conservatives. It made for good headlines, and it made it seem like the administration was draining the Swamp for real this time. But it is still business as usual in the morass of D.C., which means more deficit spending, an unaccountable military-industrial complex and a Pentagon that has failed seven straight audits.

I don't think this country will be serious about cutting spending until forced to at the end of a bankruptcy/default gun.

Hell, public Education is $975 billion a year... and I'd wager way more than 10% are illegals... thats almost an extra $100 billion right there.

But they were never allowed to do deep dives into that data... as they were constantly held up by Judges.

Not even then. The government will never -- not ever -- cut spending in an significant way because nobody wants spending cut. Sure, in theory you'll find wide support for cutting budgets. But not our budgets. Someone else's budgets. Never ours.

Something like USAID is the exception. That's not a "budget" so much as a program that was so insanely partisan and corrupt that Trump was able to nuke it.

Ir sounds like even if the official program ends, pockets of it will be folded into other orgs and still active doing what they do.

It's ironic the only government program tied to the gravy trains, that has a set and date, is the most needed one.

41 The only way $38T (actually closer to $80-90T when you factor in the unfunded liabilities in our entitlement programs, state level deficits, state unfunded pension funds and muni bonds) can ever get repaid is by:
1) repudiation - simply refusing to pay the interest & principle owed
0r
2) hyper-inflation - which is what has mostly happened in the past. See Weimar Republic

From what I've seen the DOGE office still exists, and it is mostly a reporting arm of deregulatory and cost cutting efforts.

Remember Big Balls leaving DOGE to take a job at Social Security? They've embedded people into the bureaucracy whose jobs are to cost cut.

49 One thing I'd like to see "our" side of the media begin doing is to provide some sort of *scale* when it comes to government outlays.

For example, somebody somewhere knows the amount the "average taxpayer" sends the Feds every year. So to demonstrate the true costs of a program, equate that to how many taxpayers it takes to fund the program. Pointing out that every SNAP recipient receives the entire tax paid in by 1.5 Federal Taxpayers (as a made up number to illustrate the point) might make the loosey-goosey nature of just throwing taxpayer money at problems.

54 Shrinking the Federal government will not be accomplished by an Act of Congress, but rather by a sort of devolution in which people get disgusted enough that they just cheat on their taxes near universally (like people do in other corrupt nations) and States and municipalities establish "Sanctuary States" and "Sanctuary Cities" in which Federal tax liens and judgments etc. aren't enforced. I think one enormous choke point that could bring the whole thing down is retiring the Federal Tax Return as the standard for creditworthiness in lending. How many people put up with this nonsense just because they want to be able to buy a house someday?

When musk would talk about all these people over 120 years old that had active Social Security numbers, did that mean checks were actually going to these fake people? He never answered that.

Also, I think Trump told Musk to stand down because I don’t think he liked all of these layoffs happening on his watch

Overall, though, I greatly appreciated the effort. I just think there’s a unitparty that doesn’t really want to address all the fraud.

89 Leftwing Propaganda Media Declares DOGE Dead

I don't want to hear a single damned fool blame Boomers for this. In 2000, the Debt Outstanding was $5.7T its now $39T.

Both the mean and median age in the House is just under 58 years old, which means the majority of those voting for two-three trillion dollars more debt each year are NOT Boomers.

Millennials are pretty much split R vs D in the House.

The fact that Congress totally rejected any and all of DOGE advisements and barely managed token cuts in programs the GOP has promised to cut for decades (but never did), confirms to the world that DOGE's real contribution was giving the Secretaries direction to make cuts, providing rage bait for many, and giving opportunity for District Tyrants to act as a federal HR department.

And obviously, when I do the whole scratch thing (which is a holiday/weekend vs weeknight thing), ummm, I rarely follow online recipes b/c they like to recreate "more crust, less filling" and less fruit that I like...

A lot of those are 1040s so if they're traditional employees taxes will have been withheld. There were loads of refunds - 117.6M to individuals - and 15-20% of which included child tax credits and EITCs. A lot of the non-credit-related refunds were likely from overwithholding. As to how many filers ended up as net taxpayers is a whole other ball game. Trust me I'm not carrying their water, but the number is probably roughly accurate on the surface.

108 Whatever savings are achieved under Trump, and even it becomes several trillion dollars, they won't be allowed to last. And especially as long as the prevailing mindset in this country is to run to DC for every little thing that comes up. There is federal grant money to be had for very nearly everything and, until the national mindset regarding that does a complete 180, folks will keep running to DC and cannot be denied.

109 42 $214 billion in savings, equivalent to $1,329.19 per taxpayer


Gonna need to see some math here... how many "taxpayers" do they think we have


161,000,308 and one half "taxpayers"..

I do not think so.

IRS says 163 million Tax returns... 39.6% of which owe no tax, and many of whom get a rebate like child care rebate.

So, really, about 98 million pay... although the number of Jointly Filed returns I did not find...

110 Ace: "I don't think this country will be serious about cutting spending until forced to at the end of a bankruptcy/default gun."

You are correct, Ace. Minor, insignificant spending cuts will occur, but major cuts will occur only after an economic collapse. I have thought this for decades. It's just an unfortunate aspect of our form of government.

112 "Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill is estimated to increase deficits by $3.4 trillion over the next 10 years."

Isn't that a huge improvement? Way back in Bush days Obama blamed Bush for increasing the deficit from $5T to $9T, then Obama proceeded to double that rate of increase. So now we are at $38T, and increase of $29T since 2009. Call it $2T/year ... so $3.4T over ten years sounds awesome. (or am I missing something? heh)

121 2 versions of green bean casserole, starting with the healthier version:

• 6 cups green beans (trimmed)
• 1 1/2 cups pearl onions
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup mushrooms (of your choice, sliced)
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup low fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
• 1/2 cup toasted almonds (sliced)
Preheat oven to 350.
Sauté the onions and garlic in the oil and butter over med high heat until golden. Reduce heat and add the mushrooms, cook 5 mins, add green beans and cook until they just begin to soften.

In separate bowl, combine yogurt, flour, pepper and salt to taste. After allowing the green bean mixture to cool slightly, mix in. Put in a 2 qt casserole, top with cheese and almonds, bake 35 mins.

123 Also, we need serious, humble, and penitent prayer before God. This problem is not too big for Him to fix and He laughs at obstructionists.

You realize that God is also the head of FAFO and the OT is rife with colorful illustrations of wiped out civilizations and nations due to the haughtiness and sin of the people and their leadership and God sending various forms of judgement.

My favorite passages involve Ahab and the prophet Machaia where the LORD of heaven granted permission to a Spirit to put a "lying spirit" in all of the King's counselors.

Our government is full to the rafters in liars and those totally given over to demonic spirits.

149 My daughter and I discussed the problem we have with all commercial pies. While we like crust, there is always TOO much crust to filling and too little fruit in filling.

Maybe I'm the only one who ever sees a pie filling can and says "where's the fruit" as I proceed to add a full can's worth of fresh fruit (with a little extra cornstarch) to any prepared fruit can. And obviously, when I do the whole scratch thing (which is a holiday/weekend vs weeknight thing), ummm, I rarely follow online recipes b/c they like to recreate "more crust, less filling" and less fruit that I like...
Posted by: Nova Local at November 25, 2025 03:45 PM (tOcjL)

--- buy commercial pie and a can of pie filling for that pie.

--- top off the pie with your canned fillings, add other flavors if needed.

It should be about 3 million total now, with net in-migration being almost 0 (legal immigration continues, but overall visa issuance is down).

It's my understanding that it's mostly centered in CA and TX.

And most of that is pre-OBBB ICE, the bill of which secured funding through 2028 at elevated levels for the agency.

Biden let in about 4 million a year. It looks like Trump will be getting rid of about 4 million in the first year (once we hit January 20, 2026). And things should accelerate, no matter what happens to control of Congress.

Heard in the cloakroom of Congress:

"Musk said that they cut $240 million from the XYZ department that I have been making bank on. WHAT?? How was I not informed of that grift? I thought we were friends!"

172 163 Yup.
There is no constituency for cutting spending. It's not even a plurality in the Republican Party.

The actual number of people who will accept their government programs being cut sit next to those who pay extra taxes.

However, there's a flip side to this.

There isn't much of a constituency for keeping individual spending elements either. Cutting $20 billion that benefits 50 people will have a constituency of 50 people against it, who will fight very hard to keep it. But, if the cutting happens anyway, no one but those 50 give a shit.

176 Less healthy version:
Green Bean Casserole
1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed, ends trimmed, and halved
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 and 1/4 cups half-and-half
Golden Farms Crispy Onions

Preheat oven to 450. Blanch the green beans in a large pot of boiling water with 1 tbs of salt. Boil 5 minutes, drain and dump into ice water.
For the
Over medium-high heat, melt the butter in a large 10- to 12-inch ovenproof skillet. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to release some moisture-about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, stir, and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on top and stir until combined. The flour will soak up all the moisture. Add the broth and simmer for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the half-and-half. Stirring occasionally, cook until the mixture is thick-about 10 minutes or maybe more if you prefer a thicker sauce.

198 With my kids' desire for "more" this Thanksgiving, I had to go find the "sweet" recipe for my sweet potatoes (they have been SO cheap this year). For anyone who needs to make a sweet potato casserole, but doesn't want sickly sweet, you can make a nice casserole with mashed sweet potatoes with an oat crumble (with peanuts or pecans or neither - I do peanuts again to add some more crunch to Thanksgiving over and above my green beans). Recipes abound on line.

Maple syrup goes into the potatoes, and you control the amount of sugar in the crumble. And salt and warming spices are your friend.

And it's 100% make ahead...just bake the day. I'd post a technique, but this one definitely has a lot of swaps if you do dairy or don't...

So keep the cran tart and the sweet potatoes sweet, but not cloying...

1 1/3 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms finely-chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Add chicken or vegetable stock to a medium saucepan and bring to boil over medium high heat.

In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and flour until flour is dissolved.

Slowly pour the milk mixture into the boiling broth and whisk to completely combine.

Stir in the mushrooms and spices.
Reduce the heat to medium and let it come to low boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until thickened.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days if not using right away

Be sure to dilute it with chicken or vegetable broth if you'd like to eat it as a soup as this is condensed.

241 234 What's needed to deal with SSN fraud, and other crimes that impact citizens is a way to "privatize" the punishment. Make it requirement that any violation of black-letter law that causes financial harm, physical harm or death to a family member must be addressed in a meaningful way by the responsible law enforcement within one calendar year, or the aggrieved party(s) have lawful cause to hunt down and kill the perps.

In other words, if law enforcement shits the bed, after one year, you can become a lawful bounty hunter.

I have grown to like pumpkin pie...but the best pumpkin pie is pumpkin pie ice cream pie - a pint of Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream swirled with real caramel and 1/3-1/2 the can of pumpkin pie mix and dropped in a graham cracker crust and frozen. To serve, let sit at room temp 10 minutes, slice and plate with a zig zag drizzle of caramel and a Cheesecake Factory dollop of real whipped cream. Serve with decaf coffee. People fawned over this dessert when I could make and eat it...and it takes 5 minutes.

Deportation effects are going to be lumpy. California has embedded a whole long term class of illegals sucking at the public teat, voting, and doing other shit not permitted in other states.

So, one will see more immediate effects in places where illegals are not a very large percentage of the population and ICE can work without local and state government interference. And without interference from the local population of legals that simp for illegals by doing shit like ramming ICE vehicles etc.

Trump Moves to Designate Some Chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood As Terrorist Organizations

As I've mentioned several times: Obama literally had the Muslim Brotherhood in the room as the US military formulated its terrorist-identification policies. They got a veto as to whether intelligence officers could treat certain beliefs as cause to suspect someone as terrorists.

Trump isn't Obama.

President Trump on Monday called for the U.S. to weigh labeling some Middle Eastern affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist groups, taking aim at the controversial Islamist movement.

In an executive order, the president directed his administration to consider whether to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan or elsewhere as foreign terrorist organizations. He gave Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent 30 days to submit a report, and 45 days after that to take action.

The order claimed the three countries' Muslim Brotherhood affiliates "engage in or facilitate and support violence and destabilization campaigns."

It accused the military wing of the Muslim Brotherhood's Lebanese chapter of helping launch rockets at Israel after the terrorist attack on Oct. 7, 2023, and alleged a leader of the Egyptian chapter "encouraged violent attacks against U.S. partners" after the attack.

The White House also said members of the Jordanian chapter have "long provided material support to the militant wing of Hamas," itself a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot and a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization.

If the groups are designated as foreign terrorist organizations, it would become illegal under U.S. law to knowingly provide funding or other material support to them. The designation can also lead to travel bans against members or the freezing of funds held in U.S. banks.


...

Some Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Egypt and elsewhere have renounced violence. But the group has long been controversial, with critics -- including U.S. allies -- saying some affiliated groups have engaged in violence or espoused extremist views. Egypt's military government formally banned the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013, and Jordan banned the group earlier this year.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization last week -- and CAIR, too.


Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim civil rights group Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as "foreign terrorist" and "transnational criminal" organizations.

Why it matters: The designation authorizes "heightened enforcement" against both organizations and their affiliates and bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas, according to Abbott's office.

It also authorizes Attorney General Ken Paxton to sue the organizations to shut them down, Abbott said on X.

Driving the news: In a proclamation, Abbott accused the Muslim Brotherhood of "engaging in terrorism or attempting to destabilize countries" and calls CAIR its "successor organization."

The order invokes the Texas Penal Code and Property Code, which allow the governor to classify organizations that "threaten the security of this state."

The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, is a transnational Islamist group with offshoots including Hamas.

You know that federal election law forbids the use of churches and synagogues for political purposes? So-called c3 charities do not pay taxes, but the catch is that c3 charities cannot engage in partisan activity.

This law has long been ignored as far as black churches go.

Surprise surprise -- Islamic mosques are immune from the law, too.

Amy Mek
@AmyMek

🟥 WARNING - THIS IS HOW WE LOSE AMERICA

CAIR Now Has a Muslim Super PAC to Capture U.S. Elections Using Mosques as the engine -- and they have already begun.

CAIR Leader Nihad Awad can be seen in EPIC Mosque in Texas, teaching Muslims how to use tax-exempt mosques, a CAIR c4, and a new Muslim SUPER PAC to make or break elections....

This is the exact weapon needed to install candidates like Zohran Mamdani across America, to which their Super PAC donated!

He openly instructs them to:

-- Use the MOSQUE (tax-deductible) to build the voter bloc
-- Use the CAIR C4 to lobby, draft, and fight laws -- Use PACs to fund candidates
-- Use the SUPER PAC for unlimited money to flip races

His words, not mine:

"These are the organizations that make or break races... There is a Muslim Super PAC today."

So instead of being banned over its documented terror-tie history, CAIR now sits on top of the machinery used to make or break elections.

This is the missing piece -- the power key.

While CAIR preaches takeover plans from pulpits and trains 100,000 future operatives...

📌 This is not influence -- it is an organized political seizure project running off tax-exempt religious infrastructure.

J. Michael Waller calls this executive order "solid" in terms of both what it does and the legal arguments advanced to support the order.

29 Trump is being criticized by some supporters of Israel for exempting Turkey and Qatar from any sanctions against the Muslim Brotherhood, since both of those countries are obviously sympathetic to them and have supported the Brotherhood previously.

BUT I understand the necessity of it - Trump has worked hard to establish good diplomatic relations with both of those countries, and even if you hate them and can read chapter and verse on how devious and untrustworthy they are, they still are both very powerful in the Middle East and have to be on board for any complex negotiations to succeed. That's just one of those hard real-politik facts, and another is that means you can't go and hit anyone inside their borders that they're giving protection to, no matter how much you hate them.

So it's a moot point as to whether he sanction MB members inside those two countries, we can't touch them there. That's ok, that leaves the rest of the world where we can do whatever we want to them. The quid pro quo is that if we leave Turkey and Qatar alone inside their borders, they won't give us any grief about what we do outside their borders.

Chicken stock, cream cheese and sour cream, diced mushrooms, herbs. So good.

When are we going to designate Israel as a terrorist ethnic colony? And designate the US as a terror supporting state?

Trump winded and dined with a member of Al Qaeda and then the leader of the country who financed Al Qaeda just this month.

I wouldn’t call it a terrorist organizations, but unpopular with dictatorships. They are seen as a threat to current power structures, especially the Egyptian government. On paper, they renounced violence in the 1970s, but some still accuse it of being violent

They are the Muslim republicans, basically using Islam to move the masses in a political fashion. not terrorists but the governments in GCC are intimidated by them. People will choose Muslim political affiliation over the secularism we have now in GCC (also Turkey).

Many Muslims let go of religious restrictions the minute they hit Western soil, but when some tribal call goes out, they obey. I knew people like this. They would vote to install Sharia law in their city in a heartbeat, with no intention whatsoever of living by it themselves. Just something to inflict on people who burn Qurans or drop bacon in a mosque parking lot.

The plane is trivial. Qatar is the backdoor channel to almost every government and movement in the Middle East, so if anyone is trying to do anything diplomatically, you have to deal with them. Of course they are not trustworthy; but neither are they radical muslims either. Most westerners appear not to understand them, although I believe Trump does.

But his anti-Semetism and desire for change and increasing antagonism against the GOP is a recipe for one thing: Calling Mamdani a moderate centrist.

Maybe. But he hasn't said that.

I'm not really a pro-Tucker guy. I've found him to be a drip since his bow-tie days. And I regard nearly all the "journalists" and commentators as grifters.

But the Tucker coverage is becoming grating. Because there's usually a layer of interpretation or exaggeration that one has to sort through. "Well, what Tucker really means is ..."

If what he is saying is on its face objectionable, then reporting exactly what he says should suffice to damn him.

And if despising the GOP and thinking it unworthy of support is a great vice, it's one shared by a significant number of Trump voters (who almost certainly will not be there in 202.

You may find it hard to build a coalition if you move to destroy everyone who disagrees with you. Simply stomping your feet and shouting that it is your party, you like it this way, and you will not accept any changes, will get you few converts, and unfortunately in this system you need voters, not simply deeming that you are right.
I mean, until we get two more Dem administrations. 8-12 years furthering Biden-Obama's reign will make that an option. At least for designated successors

What we're talking about today are the plain simple words straight out of Tucker's mouth.

Here's another one to chew on - in a recent podcast, Tucker said he viewed Feudalism as the best form of government by far, and longed for us all to get back to it. I'm not kidding, he did. I'm sure this has nothing with him having been born into the second richest family in America.

It's a little more work (which I realize negates 90% of the reason for its existence) but you can make it with fresh green beans. Just steam them to firm but not crunchy before mixing in.

And mushroom soup?!

OK, I have no good substitute for that. I mean, I'm sure it's possible to make from scratch but who would bother with that?
Posted by: Oddbob at November 25, 2025 03:01 PM (3nLb4)

Get fresh green beans, gresh mushrooms (at least 2 types) and fresh onions. Prep them all (with mushrooms and onions diced) and toss on a sheet pan in the quantities you like (my fam loves mushroom and onion, so we're 1/3, 1/3, 1/3)...toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake for 30 minutes at 350...more time if you make more of it. Once the bake is almost done to your liking, pull it out and toss a layer of fried onions on top and toast 5-10 more minutes.

Be wildly happy with a healthier and tastier Thanksgiving dish that gives you TEXTURE and still all the fried onions you want. Thank me later.

Also is easy for leftover storage.

259 244 220 Get fresh green beans, gresh mushrooms (at least 2 types) and fresh onions. Prep them all (with mushrooms and onions diced) and toss on a sheet pan in the quantities you like (my fam loves mushroom and onion, so we're 1/3, 1/3, 1/3)...toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake for 30 minutes at 350...more time if you make more of it. Once the bake is almost done to your liking, pull it out and toss a layer of fried onions on top and toast 5-10 more minutes.

2nd rack for the win. And if you don't have that, this will finish in 35-40 minutes - since a turkey rests 30 and then gets cut, this comes out piping hot right as the turkey is sliced...

You can also probably precook the veg early in the day and then bake 10 minutes with the fried onion to rewarm it up. I've done that with a few veg, and it should work with this one.

As it is, we're still headed down that path, just slower, since the 2024 election of President Trump has delayed the fall.

But the nation's institutions are still captured by the Left, the Deep State still infects the government at every level, the Left still controls the media, social media, Hollywood and schools/universities and Islam is slowly conquering more and more areas of the country.

It is frightening to realize that were it not for Donald Trump in 2015 deciding to run for President, this country would be much closer to the tyrannical state of Europe.

GOP Worries About Midterms "Wipeout"

I think we're all a little worried.


GOP lawmakers are growing increasingly concerned over signs the 2026 midterm elections could be a wipeout for Republicans that could cost them control of the House and shave down their Senate majority by two or three seats.

Republican senators say the off-year elections in New Jersey, Virginia and other parts of the country on Nov. 4 served as a wake-up call and warn that President Trump and Republican leaders in Congress need to address voters' concerns about the slowing economy and persistently high prices.

Republicans acknowledge that rising health insurance premiums, the issue Democrats want to put front-and-center in the election year, along with health care costs, more generally, are a major problem for their party.

There's growing anxiety in the Senate and House GOP conferences that Trump's sinking approval rating will create a headwind in swing states and districts.

But GOP lawmakers say they still have time to improve their party's image before next November.

They argue Democrats' failure to come up with effective solutions to rein in health care costs and the rising power of far-left Democratic candidates gives them a chance to cling onto power in Washington.

"If we are where we are today in the beginning of the second quarter [of 2026], then I think we're in for a really rough time in November," warned retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who represents a Senate battleground state Democrats are targeting next year.

"We have plenty of time to address it. There's a lot of positive things that we're doing here, that the administration is doing. But if you mess with health care ... if we don't get health care policy right, if we don't get some of the cost policies right, we're going to have major headwinds next year," he said.

Most concerning for GOP lawmakers is Trump's approval rating, which has sunk to 41.9 percent in the most recent polling average compiled by Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). The president's disapproval rating has climbed to 55.7 percent.

Another disquieting sign is that Democrats now have their biggest lead of the election cycle on the generic ballot for Congress. The latest DDHQ average shows Democrats beating Republicans 46.8 percent to 41.4 percent on the generic ballot.

That's a 5.4% lead. The Democrats had an 8% lead when they won the midterms in 2018.

We're not there yet but we are getting there.

One Republican senator who attended a recent GOP conference meeting at the National Republican Senatorial Committee headquarters said concerns about the approaching election year are "high."

"The numbers are terrible," the lawmaker said. "Not necessarily for any individual incumbent senator, although some of them aren't very good. But you saw what happened a couple weeks ago [on Nov. 4]: Republicans didn't win anything anywhere."

And the problem continues to be that Trump attracted a lot of blue collar voters who, unfortunately, are not likely voters and who also do not show up to vote for other Republicans. They like Trump, seeing him as a different kind of Republican who appeals to union hall Democrats, but they do not like other Republicans, and Trump has never been able to convince them to vote for other Republicans.

I don't think he tries hard enough. I think he has to make the case, in a major national campaign, that it is absolutely necessary for Trump's personal political fortunes that he doesn't have a Congress controlled by "lunatic left-wing Democrats" impeaching him every five minutes like he did from 2019-2020.

Below, Harry Enten discusses Trump's very high level of support in the GOP itself, but he's slipping with independents.

I hear more and more complaints, including from actual Republicans, that inflation is still high. The assumption people have continues to be that prices should fall back to what they had been. As I keep saying, we can't have prices fall without actual deflation, which the Fed would never allow to happen, because the downsides of deflation are too high. (People stop investing because their money is already appreciating in value if they just hoard it under the bed.)

Maybe Trump has to give a national address -- he really should give some of these from time to time -- to readjust public's expectations about prices actually falling. They won't fall. It will never happen. Inflation will be beaten when the rate of inflation slows to 2% per year. People waiting for prices to fall will be waiting forever.

Kurt Schlicter noticed the blue mood of conservatives, and wrote a column to cheer us up.

Welcome to the doldrums, the period of problems, the phase of foul-ups, the time of the sucking. And it does suck. Everything seems to be going wrong for Republicans right now. We were flying high a few weeks ago, when Donald Trump negotiated the end of the Gaza War, and then it was all downhill. Lost elections, economic uncertainty, Epstein file stupidity, fear that the conservative movement will tear itself apart over people who aren't even conservative, and Marjorie Taylor Greene's face all over our social media feeds. Yeah, it's bad. You're at the top one day, then the next day you're at the bottom.

But we've been around the block before. We've done this a few times. Most of us reading this and watching what's going on have seen this story arc play out in the past. You start out strong, you go hard for a while, and then the problems pop up. That's the way of every human endeavor. Nothing is perfect, and the inevitable imperfections build up until they threaten to stop your progress and must be dealt with. It's particularly exaggerated in the case of Trump 2.0. Why? Because Trump 2.0 has been so massively successful. Go back just six months. It was win after win after win. We shut down the border. We took out Iran's nuclear program. DOGE was purging timeservers and non-hackers. We were kicking over the feed troughs at USAID and elsewhere. Freaking PBS was dead. Sure, there were obstacles, but the pinkos were not going to just give up their power politely merely because the voters rejected them. It was awesome.

Yet, it is the comparison with those dizzying heights that makes the current depths look so much more bottomless. They're not. The conservative movement/MAGA/America First/Whatever You Call It is unlikely to crack up because Tucker Carlson has cracked up. The affordability crisis is unlikely to persist all the way to the next elections. And those elections are not necessarily going to be a massive defeat. But it sometimes seems like those things are inevitable because it's so miserable right now.

...

The economy may remain stubbornly bad, or stubbornly perceived as bad, but we've been to this rodeo before. Ronald Reagan took a couple of years to turn things around, but when he did, there was an enormous boom. Donald Trump took a couple of years to turn things around during 1.0, but when he did, there was an enormous boom. Are you seeing a pattern of what happens when conservative policies are put in place? Sure, we have the tariffs wildcard, but we haven't seen tariffs driving up inflation the way we were promised by the critics. The inflation rate is down. That's undeniable, and it's beginning to manifest in certain products.

For you Youngs, the analogue I'm looking at is also Reagan. Paul Volcker raised interest rates sky-high in the beginning of Reagan's term to end the very high inflation rate. The economy sunk into a very deep depression. Those who remember Reagan as presiding over a booming economy didn't live through 1981-82, when the economy was the worst it had been in decades -- and even worse than it was under Jimmy Carter.

The feeling of depression resulted in a bunch of movies about the economy. Mr. Mom, for example, is about an auto worker laid off from the then-collapsing US auto industry.

Anyway, Reagan got his bad news out of the way early, setting up one of the greatest economic expansions beginning in 1983.

So I've been watching the economy looking for signs of a big turn. Trump had one in his first term. It was like magic -- Obama out, Trump in, and the economy started growing.

But that's not happening now. Or, rather, yes, there is some improvement, but it's a subtle improvement that voters can ignore, and based on Trump's slipping approval, they seem to be ignoring it now. Reagan I and Trump I had big enough economic expansions that voters couldn't ignore it, and even when Reagan's 1984 opponent Walter Mondale tried to deny it, they rejected that denial as delusional.

(Mondale ran ads asking rhetorically, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" His suggested answer was "No," but the country answered "Hell to the yeah we're better off" and delivered Reagan every single state in 1984. Supposedly Mondale won his home state of Minnesota but there have been credible allegations that that state was stolen and Reagan just didn't challenge it because he won the other 49 and could afford to be generous.)

So I keep waiting for the Trump II turn. I keep hoping it will come in time for the midterms, but that seems like increasingly unlikely.

It doesn't help, of course, that Fed Chair Powell is determined to tank the economy, because he's mad that Trump is putting tariffs on the foreign imports so beloved of the Capital Class and wants to prove to the country that tariffs are bad. So he's doing what he can to harm the economy so that people think the problem was the tariffs.

"The Democrats crammed the ACA down America's throat. They baked in the cake a tax subsidy expiration that would cause the cost of healthcare to SKYROCKET without TAXPAYER FUNDED policies. Not cheap healthcare. Not even GOOD healthcare. TAXPAYER FUNDED. Referred to by Democrats as "free healthcare."

27 To further Ace's point, a local elected law enforcement officer in a county won by Trump in 2024 signed up for a program with ICE to assist ICE by informing ICE of illegals in custody who were charged with crimes (I'm simplifying but this is the idea). It became a prime issue in the 2025 municipal elections. The issue actually polled well with people, but Republicans up and down the ballot got wiped out. You would think that this would have encouraged Trump voters to come out to the polls and HELP THE GODDAMNED PRESIDENT CARRY OUT HIS PRIMARY POLICY GUARANTEE. But no, they voted a year ago and were satisfied to retreat to the cocoon of college football or whatever.

31 Rents falling. Inflation keeps coming in below wage gains. Hell, home prices seem to be falling in certain places.

And GDP is growing at 4% or more.

While we deport shit tons of people, so many that we're actually going to lose population as a whole. (Mass deportation is deflationary...just like mass importation of a population is inflationary)

But, oh no...beef prices, driven by admin decisions 3 years ago to limit beef supplies. Panic, and feed the panic.

The economy is actually in good shape, but people want outright deflation. Which I would be fine with. But Trump says the goal is 1% inflation which, combined with wage growth, will be very healthy.

37 It's not only the rate vs time value. But we are all under a giant deficit due to the higher costs in the past. So yeah, if the rate was zero, then all the costs would still be higher. But even if there was a major depression and all the costs nose dived back to 2010 levels, we still aren't getting back our sunk overpaid costs. Integrate the curve.

I was in a company-wide meeting with a high up exec and they had the typical stupid question and answer session after all the "GO TEAM" part. A guy asked about wage increases in light of the cost of living going up. And that mfer, in a room full of engineers, said well the rates are slowing down so that won't be needed.

so in states like PA, we are improving in a LOT of areas (energy is a big one) but gas prices remain high due to our ridiculous gas tax (tied to inflation so it keeps going up). which informs a lot of other prices here. PLUS our insurance costs are sky high due to having quite a lot of illegales driving around drunk still.

this is a civil war - we are in it. private folks vs the govt class. they are fighting us, tooth and nail. they won't stop.

in the end, either we collapse or we break up. I know PDJT was trying to thread the needle and I hope to hell he succeeds but it's a low percentage play.

Beef, like egg prices in the final months of Biden's administration, were about Ag policy. Killing hundreds of millions of chickens drove up egg prices.

Limiting beef herds 3 years ago is driving up beef prices today.

And deflation fears stem from the Great Depression. Economists have been trained to do the opposite of everything that happened in the Great Depression from a monetary policy.

So he's doing what he can to harm the economy so that people think the problem was the tariffs.

This can't be emphasized enough.

Powell is been bad-mouthing the economy and lying.
He's been promising and swearing inflation from tariffs will show up "soon" for 10 months now as his monthly excuse to not lower rates.

That's why they are so desperate to hold the Fed; can't afford Powell and Ms. Fraud out--he intends to stall and choke the economy as long as he can to deliver the House to the Dems.
Without those two cronies, the Fed cuts rates.

Now, the sellers lived with that "issue" for decades and it did not cause them any problems. If they would have insisted that there is no problem to the buyer, there would not have been a sale.

97 The assumption people have continues to be that prices should fall back to what they had been. As I keep saying, we can't have prices fall without actual deflation, which the Fed would never allow to happen, because the downsides of deflation are too high. (People stop investing because their money is already appreciating in value if they just hoard it under the bed.)

99 They argue Democrats' failure to come up with effective solutions to rein in health care costs and the rising power of far-left Democratic candidates gives them a chance to cling onto power in Washington.

This reminds me a bit about the situations with the Tories in the UK. The people there were tired of immigration and elected the tories to stop it.

When the tories refused to they turned around and voted for labor.

Now, the Republicans weren't elected specifically to deal with healthcare costs but...they haven't done much about it either.

And there are simple, simple reforms that could be done. Require proof of citizenship to get EMTALA coverage. Stop any federal funds for states that don't comply with ICE investigations - including of those on their welfare/free healthcare giveouts, and any states that refuse see their federal dollars shared instead with the other states. And on and on...

100 Peter St. Onge says the Fed is fanning inflation by ending QT and will spring the trap on Rs by acquiescing to their demands that rates be reduced.

Posted by: Oglebay at November 25, 2025 01:41 PM (GPa4z)

101 >>>It doesn't help, of course, that Fed Chair Powell is determined to tank the economy,

I love that people are both screaming for deflation and insisting on increasing the money availability. Easy interest rates a) cause a heat up of the business cycle b) ramp up inflation, c) take between 4 and six months to be felt, and D) wind up running through the big banks, then the big borrowers (hedge funds and the like) before it trickles down to the guys who want to finance a used car or a home. Rates are not a magic wand, they only affect the price of borrowing money and creating debt.

The calls I hear now, which I agree with, is that homes are too pricey for kids to start families or families to move out of the "starter home" but dropping the rate is going to first benefit the big borrowers who can get lower rates due to their size and will outbid Timmy and Suzy Newlywed every time, and they still will wind up paying the cost of the mortgage and the profit the leasing company demands to make up the dividends to the investors.

104 Most people may not realize what Trump realizes - best way to bring inflation and general costs down is to negotiate peace in the Ukraine, and peace in the Middle East. Do that and oil prices will fall dramatically, as will gasoline prices, as will inflation rates, as will Interest rates. And it will happen fairly quickly.

Posted by: Tom Servo at November 25, 2025 01:42 PM (uWKK8)

105 I agree with Ace on the need for Trump to address the nation about what he is doing to address these major concerns. Unlike a Democrat, Trump can't count on the media to carry the message for him. It isn't enough to just do good stuff, he needs to personally communicate what he is doing, for what purpose, and the positive results and impact on people's lives. Especially when the effects aren't immediate. It's easy to spend a couple trillion dollars of debt into the economy or hand out stimulus checks and people can see it. It's harder when you are bringing jobs back via tariffs and foreign investment, because that takes time.

And finally--did anyone ask him to end 8 wars, or whatever he's doing? I mean it's good and all, but has he gotten obsessed with winning the Nobel Peace Prize? He was elected to be America First. If he wants people to feel like negotiating peace deals around the world is making good on that promise, he needs to say it directly to the American pubiic, over and over again. But...I don't think they will be buying it. Getting us out of Biden's Ukraine mess is important, but getting the economy back on track to overcome Biden's inflation is a bigger deal to people

I have to protest this statement. People no longer store gold under their beds.

The problems with deflation are
- asset prices drop (and that pisses off the upper class)
- debtors suffer (and that pisses off anyone with a mortgage)
- wages don't drop (wages are sticky. high wages is bad for business)
and mostly,
- gov does not get its "vig" on printing new money to replaces deflated dollars. In fact, gov. is the biggest debtor so they suffer the most. Congress might have to cut back on sex slave junkets.

The only people deflation helps are savers. Fuck savers, this is America and our economy is built on debt.

130 A politician called Adolf Hitler is set to win a local election in his home country, but claimed his father had no idea about the Nazi leader’s significance when he named his son.

Adolf Hitler Uunona, 59, is poised to win a second local election in the southwest African country of Namibia on Nov. 26, holding his seat in the north of the country after previously receiving 85% of the vote in 2020.

The member of the left-wing Swapo party previously spoke about his infamous name after coming to global attention following his win in the Ompundja constituency.

His father “probably didn’t understand what Adolf Hitler stood for. As a child, I saw it as a totally normal name,” the politician told German newspaper Bild in 2020.

Trump, like Obama before him, attracts low-propensity voters.

Democrats regularly did terribly with Obama as president in midterms because low-propensity voters simply don't turn out for midterms at the same level as high-propensity voters.

We essentially traded winning the presidency for winning midterms.

Changing low-propensity voters into high-propensity voters is a large issue because the behavior is mostly tied to education levels and has been for a long time.

Specifically I saw a video "If you have a job now, keep it. Nobody is getting hired."

I gotta say that my account balances haven't gone up. Sure my investment portfolio has, but my free cash is sitting at or even slightly below where it was when Trump took office. I'm not blue collar, both my wife and I are 6-figure earners with no kids. Just maintaining the same lifestyle as we previously had.

But anyone who says they're pissed at Trump for prices not coming DOWN doesn't know how inflation (and deflation) works. If prices were dropping that would indicate something REALLY bad going on... and we might be getting there. All of those make believe announcements of foreign investment aren't going to show up in peoples' paychecks any year soon....

152 I live on the outskirts of one of the fastest growing cities in America.

We bought our house 2 years ago.

Last week, a house sold that's almost 1,000 sq feet larger than ours, in the same neighborhood under the same HOA and everything, for about $20,000 less than what we bought ours for.

People don't want price decreases when they actually happen because the paper value of their assets also decrease.

153 They like Trump, seeing him as a different kind of Republican who appeals to union hall Democrats, but they do not like other Republicans, and Trump has never been able to convince them to vote for other Republicans.

----

Those union hall Democrats are certainly a big boost for Trump, since it pulls from the opponent's normal totals.

But I don't think it's as big a problem as people like me - former Reublicans who voted for Trump, but who won't vote for any GOP incumbent. I vote for him because I hate the rest of the Party, and I'm far from the only one.

We just refinanced our mortgage down a percentage point, and we will save $200k over the course of our loan. That is not pocket change for an average family!

The current world is comfortable and they have boundaries, arrangements with the Dems and everyone knows where the next handout is coming from.

And if that means at times illegal aliens will be trucked in by the planeload, or unions and the children of politicians will be acting as bagmen for foreign dictators, well, the profits are there for everyone in the club and guarantees that the elites will be allowed to walk away when everyone else gets eaten.

1993324556606427493

I was able to read it once but I think they want you to pay for it now. It might be on bari wise's old the free press place.

I thought it was very insightful. People are poking holes at it, but is main thrust is that our view of the economy, what poverty means, and the relationship between income and well being is skewed. He starts off discussing the poverty line being linked to 3x monthly food costs and why that is completely broken now. With the cost of housing, day care and other things rocketing away from food costs. This is old news to people I think. He recalculates the poverty line up from current 30K to 150K. And a lot of people or harping on his methodology there and that he concentrates on families.

But the other part that is good is where he discusses the great penalties imposed in the 30K-150K range. You start earning above 30K and you make less money. It's a math function where people are being sorted into 150K.

If you can check it out I think it is a good read.

You've got the answer, but it's really simple.

Inflation isn't high anymore. It is slightly elevated, but it's very close to the Fed's goal.

Prices are high. While inflation and prices are related, they are not the same.

Like you say, prices aren't likely to come down*. Trump needs to work on wages and make that his pitch. His first term was the first time blue-collar wages outpaced inflation in (IIRC) 40 years.

That's the hope he needs to tout.


*Except for places where prices were artificially raised by scarcity from government action: oil, beef, energy, etc...

Add to that the Democrat Part is utterly broken. It's become a joke to even its own members (looking at you Kartel Kid from Arizona). It's lost 2.1 million voters since 2020 with the Reps gaining 2.4 million nationally in that same time in the thirty states that track by voter ID. Dems lost in every single one of those states.

Bessent is prognosticating a significant economic turnaround come next year. I agree with that assessment. And it's going to happen because we avoided the alternative last November.

I heard sob stories in real life about GS-15s who are in dire financial peril because of the shutdown. These fuckers pull close to $200k/year plus gold-plated benefits around here. How can a few months wreck them?

The second problem is that inflation drives artificial demand for investing, and that artificial demand floods companies with excess capitalization that leads to waste, bubbles, and piss-poor management in general.

210 It's not that the DNC is bussing people to vote. It's that Dem voters largely just choose to vote regularly. It's habit. So, we either wait for GOP low-propensity voters to develop the habit, or the RNC spends money to make it a habit.

Many votes are fakes - they know who votes and who doesn't.

But making a big deal of a person and taking them to the polls can get them to go vote.

And...giving those drivers some "walking around money" will bring in yet more voters. No, you can't control who someone votes for, well, usually, but hand someone $20 and tell them there is another $20 after they vote D and they are probably going to as well...

213 As I keep saying, we can't have prices fall without actual deflation, which the Fed would never allow to happen, because the downsides of deflation are too high. (People stop investing because their money is already appreciating in value if they just hoard it under the bed.)
-
This is just false. People will invest if the return on investment beats leaving it under the mattress.

The Fed insists on inflation because between bank lending and federal overspending, there's value being asserted that doesn't actually exist and it has to come out of the economy somewhere. With inflation it comes out of all of our pockets in the form of higher prices. With deflation it materializes in bad loans and bank failures, which aren't any worse to the economy than inflation is, but it hurts bankers and the overly wealthy people that the Fed cares about.

The goal for the Fed should be what it was when it was founded-stable currency, which means forced deflation when there has been inflation.

215 The P/E for SnP 500 stocks went from around 7 in 1980 to around 14 at the end of Reagan in 1988, after a brief spike to 20.

Trump 45's SnP 500 started at about 24 and went to 35.
Trump 47's SnP 500 started about 27 and now is a little over 30.

To the extent The Market reflects on The Economy, and the (apparent) dependence on Markets always going UP, this may not be the greatest indicator. I don't blame Trump so much, as the decades of easy money and profligate spending (and waste/fraud).

Tariffs are helpful/necessary, but there are so many headwinds due to (near) infinite debt.

Usually you'll do better paying 10 years of that mortgage and then selling to buy your next house, then you would renting for 10 years and save for a down payment.

To do that you have to somehow prevent the banks from loaning more than they have, in short get rid of the leverage that fractional reserve banking allows.

Something like banks issuing stablecoins backed by gold backed Treasuries, which under current consideration means that the banks can only issue the actual value of the treasuries they have in reserve, 100% backing.

Since 65+ aren't voting R anymore...at all...in great numbers...this would be a winning issue if somehow the sector deflated and not just leveled off...

The 2020 Congressional redraw combined with the mid-decade redraws is mostly having the effect of greatly limiting the number of on the cusp seats. More safe seats for both parties.

A Congressional swing of 40 seats is just not in the cards.

Dems may win the House next year, but it would probably be 5-10 seats, a minor win with a couple of dozen Dems in Trump won states facing a 2028 after a middling oppositional midterm. And the GOP will most likely keep the Senate (Collins should win ME again, and no, Cooper is not going to win NC).

We bought our house 2 years ago.

Last week, a house sold that's almost 1,000 sq feet larger than ours, in the same neighborhood under the same HOA and everything, for about $20,000 less than what we bought ours for.

--------
This is real, and an example of Powell being part of the problem. At the moment, sellers outnumber buyers nationally (individual markets may vary). A 6.125% interest rate may not be *objectively* "high", but were Powell out the rates would likely be mid-to-high 5s. And because too many people are aware that it will likely change (lower) in 6 months, we're going to have a very difficult time for sellers in the next 6 months. Too many people who might want a bigger backyard or an additional bedroom have convinced themselves they can wait a few more months.

Trump came into 2.0 with a plan to help blue-collar America: bring US jobs back from overseas. Everything that he's done domestically is to serve that purpose. Immediate depreciation on capital expenditures, tariffs to encourage domestic production, kicking illegals out of the country and discouraging new ones from coming in - all of it is to serve these purposes.

When Hawaii judges, Fed chairmen, Deep State holdouts, RINOs and Democrats fight against this, and the remaining House and Senate Republicans either don't fight back or rush to compromise with the enemy, it serves to set Trump's stated agenda backwards. If Rs keep up with this, they will pay the price. And deservedly so.

"Meat" in these sort of things is formed from a puree of animal parts and a binder for many decades, back when only scify authors were thinking of printing meat.

282 Start passing some of Trump’s executive orders into law

And as an addendum to this - if you really can't get some of Trump's items passed, make legislation covering the strongest case for it anyway and let the Dems kill it in the Senate/House.

This gives ammo to House/Senate candidates running in '26.

There is way too much "why bother trying if we aren't pretty sure we'll win?"

For example imagine making the Dems filibuster no healthcare dollars for illegals?

Correct. This is how the Republicans can always backstop the Democrats.

Without regard to the bad days when 38 representatives simultaneously retire, or the House GOP votes down a Republican President's singular legislation, or sits idly by as he's impeached, you have the "good" days when a faction of the Senate GOP caucus just bails out the Democrats.

Whereas the Democrats will pull an historic Party line vote in the middle of the night for Obamacare, or impeach a President on the flimsiest charge.

It's a shell game.

312 This is real, and an example of Powell being part of the problem. At the moment, sellers outnumber buyers nationally (individual markets may vary). A 6.125% interest rate may not be *objectively* "high", but were Powell out the rates would likely be mid-to-high 5s. And because too many people are aware that it will likely change (lower) in 6 months, we're going to have a very difficult time for sellers in the next 6 months. Too many people who might want a bigger backyard or an additional bedroom have convinced themselves they can wait a few more months.

The Power of the Congress can easily depend on a couple of cases THEY ALREADY HEARD, but just have not ruled on... and with election deadlines looming, and court cases being decided... it would be in the best interest of the Nation for them to get off their collective Asses and get the job done.

Because any ruling on Calif or Texas, will have to go back to court, based on what their ruling is... which won't happen before the election.

339 What happens every single time is the Republican Congress destroys the morale of voters by failing to do anything other than coast.

Or “trying” to pass big omnibus bills such as a self defense rights bill that is loaded up with everything and so guaranteed to gain enough opponents to fail. In every conservative issue there are 80/20 points that can be passed on their own. But republicans don’t bring those up on their own because they might pass.

Trump cannot convince his voters to vote for republicans. Only republicans can do that. Because they aren’t his voters. He is their candidate. Republican lawmakers must choose to be their candidate, too, if they want those votes.

340 "I know, how DARE the President focus on international conflicts we are embroiled in and threaten our security instead of things he hasn't gotten around to yet in one year."

This is Boomer Republicanism, and this is why the party is in dire dire straits. This "Government by Tom Clancy novels." is going to lead to an epic midterm wipeout. You're going to have Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House, and Alexandra Ocasio Cortez is going to be running the impeachment hearings.

People do not want to hear, as healthcare costs spike, that anything being done about it is "socialism!!!!!" and that the President is very very busy with peace in the Middle East. Donald Trump is doing the usual 2nd term POTUS thing and trying to notch a Big Foreign Policy Legacy. But that's not what he was elected to do, and it's not what energizes the Donald Trump voter.

The country, the American nation, is actually in really bad shape. I don't know that it can all be fixed in one term. But it certainly will not be fixed if the White House is focused on foreign policy. He was elected on a sweeping domestic agenda, he was not elected to bring peace to the Middle East or to Eastern Europe.

348 It will be real easy for Trump to pull the economy back - end high taxes for imports, aka Tariffs. They are driving up costs everywhere. I get the goal, but the implementation is terrible. If the tariffs were offset by lower income taxes, that's fine! But instead, Americans are paying more taxes.

But that's not happening now. Or, rather, yes, there is some improvement, but it's a subtle improvement that voters can ignore, and based on Trump's slipping approval, they seem to be ignoring it now. Reagan I and Trump I had big enough economic expansions that voters couldn't ignore it, and even when Reagan's 1984 opponent Walter Mondale tried to deny it, they rejected that denial as delusional."

Nah. Trump treats tariffs like John Holmes treated his junk; he gets off by using it to show everyone who the Alpha is.

357 I mean the unusual growth of 500k voters in NJ for Gov/off year elections, over the pretty static numbers for those elections the last 20 years. (twice the actual growth of registered voters in the state) has a lot to do with it. Shockingly the PA election had the same amount of growth for a pretty low enthusiasm and often not cared about election. Another shock is how the Republican numbers would have beat the Dem from 4 years earlier, but most of those 500k went to the dem.

For years they said Republicans had to control elections to stop the cheating, so they can win, but they've completely ignored that.

Under Questioning By, Surprisingly, the Leftwing Media, Democrats Admit They Can't Name Any Illegal Orders Trump Has Issued

Seditious Senator Mark Kelly, who's currently under investigation for a possible court martial for urging US troops to defy their Commander in Chief, ran to Rachel Maddow to whip up the hard left to support him.

Even there, though, he was forced to admit that Trump never issued an illegal order.

MADDOW: "When you and your colleagues made that video, were there specific, potentially illegal orders that you were thinking about that were the sort of precipitating cause for you guys to get together and do that?"

KELLY: "Here's the thing, Rachel. You don't want to wait for your kid to get hit by a car before you tell them to look both ways."

So he's admitting he's urging troops to defy the Commander in Chief based on their own guess as to what is or is not an illegal order, and even threatening that a future Democrat president may imprison them for not defying Trump -- and this is all based on nothing except the always-present hypothetical possibility that an illegal order could, maybe, possibly be issued in the future.


AWFL and CIA C*nt Elissa Slotkin likewise admitted no illegal orders had been issued to ABC's cadaverous wallflower Martha Raddatz.

At JusttheNews, Jerry Dunleavy writes about the threat Democrats are making to prosecute troops for obeying the duly-elected Constitutional Commander-in-Chief.


'Sedition'? Democrat bid to foment Trump resistance inside U.S. military draws blowback

Democrats also made thinly-veiled threats that U.S. troops and spies will be in legal jeopardy if they don't defy such alleged orders.


Democrats released a video last Tuesday purporting to support U.S. service members and intelligence officers who would defy illegal orders, but some of those Democrats have also made thinly-veiled threats that U.S. troops and spies will be in legal jeopardy if they don't defy such alleged orders.

The half dozen Democrats from the House and Senate -- five of them veterans of of the U.S. military and one a former CIA analyst -- released a video that argued that "you must refuse illegal orders" and professed to servicemembers that "we have your back."

But a number of the Democrats in the video have strongly implied that troops who don't disobey orders that the Democrats believe to be illegal could face criminal prosecution, with the Democrats conjuring warnings tied to prior prosecutions of Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg, of U.S. Marines in the film A Few Good Men, of troops stationed at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, and of soldiers involved in the My Lai massacre in South Vietnam, implying current U.S. troops could face the same fate.

The congressional Democrats were also not on the same page about whether the U.S. military was currently engaging in illegal activities, with some Democrats admitting that they were not sure if any current U.S. military actions were illegal, while others have previously said or are currently saying that U.S. troop deployments to American cities and U.S. strikes against Venezuelan drug-running boats are illegal.


...

The Democrats released a joint statement on Thursday saying, "What's most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our service members should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders."

Secretary of the Department of War Pete Hegseth said on X on Monday that five of the six Democrats in the video don't fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of War and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) because "one is CIA and four are former military but not 'retired', so they are no longer subject to UCMJ" but that "Mark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJ -- and he knows that."

...

The video continued: "Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution. We know this is hard and that it's a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy, the Air Force -- your vigilance is critical, and know that we have your back. Because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution, and who we are as Americans. Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, don't give up the ship!"

The six Democratic congressional offices did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent to them by Just the News.

A number of the Democrats in the video have suggested that U.S. troops could be prosecuted for following purportedly illegal orders issued by President Trump or Secretary Hegseth. As of publication time, none of the orders issued by either Trump or Hegseth have been declared "illegal" by any court or authoritative body of law.

Houlahan told MSNBC on Saturday that the point of the video was to tell U.S. service members that "we've got your back." But this message was seemingly diluted by other Democrats in the video hinting at potential prosecutions.

Slotkin appeared Sunday on ABC News' This Week talking about how U.S. service members can figure out whether an order is illegal, and the Democratic senator immediately brought up the Nuremberg trials against Nazi war criminals and the movie A Few Good Men where Marines are prosecuted at Guantánamo Bay.

"I don't -- I mean, going back to Nuremberg, right, that 'well, they told me to do it, that's why I murdered people' is not an excuse. If you look at popular culture, like, you watch, you know, A Few Good Men, like we have plenty of examples since World War II, in Vietnam, where people were told to follow illegal orders, and they did it, and they were prosecuted for it," Slotkin said. "So, the best thing for people to do is go to their JAG [judge advocate general] officer, their local law enforcement, or a legal officer in their unit, and ask for some explanation, ask for help. And that's what we've been advising people to do."

J.D. Vance called the Democrats' demand that troops guess which orders are illegal and defy those orders they guess are illegal an illegal suggestion itself, because the military specifically forbids troops guessing whether orders or legal or not. The military only says troops may defy orders that are manifestly illegal, -- obviously illegal, on-its-face illegal, no question about it illegal -- not "possibly illegal" or "arguably illegal" or "Rachel Maddow told me it was illegal."

Otherwise, think about it: Military orders mean nothing. Every single troop would be empowered to refuse any order, claiming that in his personal, private estimation, he thought it might be illegal.

This is the interesting bit to me. Trump/Hegseth are busily purging the military of the wokies (for short.)

55 The entire goal of their charade is to bring the political, into the military. That’s been the sine qua non of Democrats continuous effort to undermine the military. What this Clown Patrol has done is try to impact operations by creating doubt about the legitimacy of orders. On other shows what they’ve done is suggested missions such as the NG deployments to cities and the Venezuela mission are illegal. That idiot from Arizona (you guys must be so proud) has now suggested they will go after anyone involved in those efforts. By the way, all of those efforts have been found legitimate by the DoJ using the same standard as past efforts like Clinton’s intervention in Haiti- so, no not some one-off. The CoC on these operations also includes a JAG. So don’t fall for their bullshit that people are running for clearance so they won’t be prosecuted. They’re doing it because that is the process. Kelly and Crow, especially should know better, that is they know exactly what the are doing.

Did the organizers of the Sedition-Six know there would be pointed questions aimed at them in these face to face "interviews?" Did they prep all six with the kind of deflections we are witnessing?

I think they did, and knew that the controversy would stretch it in the news cycle, to keep it visible to their base, and to that huge mass of AWFLs out there. It's a GOTV move. Everything they do for the next 11 months will be one form of Trump resistance or another.

exactly. As long as they're more than 12 miles from the coast, it's international waters. Which in fact is something they use to their advantage when offloading; the drug boats rendezvous with some local fishing boat outside the 12 mile limit to take a part of the cargo, and the fishing boat looks like a hundred other local fishing boats when it gets home. Up until now they were home free.

80 I saw the movie Sinners last night. Wtf? The critics obviously reviewed this on a heavily-biased DEI scale.

While I did think some individual scenes were very good, the movie was an over-long, jumbled mess that made no sense. Even after piles of expository dialog, I still wasn't sure who was doing what and why. Almost nothing happened in the first hour and a half, and the last hour had nothing to do with the first.

And for $100M, you'd think they'd have hired a real cinematographer? Somebody thought it was a great idea to shoot a dark-skinned black cast in very low light, without ensuring any "key light" illuminated their faces.

The movie is also a rip-off of From Dusk Till Dawn.

It's been nothing but shit since. You could attribute some of that to Marvel-itis, but Sinners was his blank check movie. And it's...trash.

125 The media and all of the lefty talk shows tell the world that practically everything Trump does is illegal. Rogue judges stop nearly all of Trumps orders implying to the people that Trump is breaking the law. Even though the judges have been overturned at about 100%, people get the impressing that Trump acted illegaly.

Mark Kelly and his mates, then tell the military to defy illegal orders from Trump which are now conflated into everything Trump does.

128 "Sinners" was 'good' to the extent that Normies watched and even recommended it to other Normies (like me - I never will watch it though).

Most slop nowadays has a narrative attached to it. The mega-slop has "first Marvel movie to have a transgendered BIPOC cripple hero", though that never catches on with Normies. The generic slop (e.g. "Predator: Badlands") has "best movie in the franchise EVER!", and Normies buy that for a week or two. The surreptitious slop has the buzz of "Sinners", where people still talk about it months later. Give it a year or two and no one will remember it exists.

I as a civilian can tell the troops to defy the President, and I have committed no crime for which I can be arrested. I would not do it under Trump, but I might have done it under Obama or Biden, especially if I thought they were threatening American Citizens.

I'm sure Miss Aftyn only published the footage prior to ~45sec and after a few seconds later on her social media, because that's where the setup becomes obvious. As the cops turn back to the office after taking her into the hallway, the guy she had on scene shooting video dismounts his camera to follow her, showing the mount on his tripod, and then also the still photographer she had on scene to capture her poignant moment of agony at the hands of Trump's fascist, manocratic police state.

Maybe I'm missing something but cannot recall in my lifetime or recent history prior a situation in which there was a widespread ongoing and active threat to fed law enforcement, with many actual attacks and foiled plots, with elected officials pumping enormous quantities of fuel onto the fire with outrageous incitement. Publicly. Ostentatiously.

Our system is mostly designed to take of such behavior via the ballot box, but that of course is academic with a dumbed-down, disconnected, ignorant electorate (controlling majorities). Black swans like Trump are just that.

"That Senators generally perform certain acts in their official capacity as Senators does not necessarily make all such acts legislative in nature Members of Congress are constantly in touch with the Executive Branch of the Government and with administrative agencies -- they may cajole, and exhort with respect to the administration of a federal statute -- but such conduct, though generally done, is not protected legislative activity. United States v. Johnson decided at least this much.
"No argument is made, nor do we think that it could be successfully contended, that the Speech or Debate Clause reaches conduct, such as was involved in the attempt to influence the Department of Justice (in this case Dept. of War), that is in no wise related to the due functioning of the legislative process."

The last thing we need is a smoldering terrorism war (Putin doesn't really need that either if he wants to stay in charge). The Russians ain't got the troops to do what was done in the USSR and Warsaw Pact days for occupation and I guarantee that arms, etc will be entering from all sides to make occupation a misery and a massive threat into widening the war to include NATO members.

To some degree, Israel has the same problem, unless they run a war of extermination or somehow force the Palestinians to exit Gaza and/or the West Bank, they will simply bide their time until the next attempt. If Israel did either force Palis out of Gaza and the West Bank or try to exterminate them, then in turn, probably all the Arab states would be destabilized to the point of regime overthrows in some of those neighboring states.

Sometimes being stronger than the enemy is not enough 'win' strategically.

For almost 200 years, there was no such thing as a dual citizen in the US... until the Supreme Court over rode the clear Constitutional power of the Congress to regulate Citizenship and immigration issues.

Because the Founders never intended there to be any dual Citizens, the ONLY requirements they put in the Constitution for offices was you had to be a Citizen... but when the Supremes screwed that up, no one has ever bothered to address the issues when you have people of divided Loyalty, holding major Offices.

We need to fix that.

Yes, it was a crime. It was stopped in progress.

You can argue that Calley's sentence was too light, and I'd agree - but the crime itself was shocking because it was exceptional, and no civilian authority apprehended Lt. Calley. That was done on the scene, by his own inferiors, who were enforcing directives from above him.

279 There is a body of law, particularly in fraud, where the jury is permitted to infer that the speaker intended the listener to be deceived--even if what the speaker said was technically correct.

The law, when it's not being subverted by clown judges, is pretty well equipped to deal with technical equivocations.

And I think that applies here:
Yes, what they said was not, technically, illegal.
But they also knew exactly how it would be heard.
And that was their real intention--that it was to be heard, by the troops, as "Trump is issuing illegal orders and you must defy them."
Any other interpretation is nonsense and lies.

Prosecute them for that--their intention to incite.

Laws are for controlling and punishing normies, not the downtrodden, poor, or otherwise oppressed. For example:

Last year, there were 3,325 occasions when courts declined to send a newly-convicted man or woman to prison despite them having 50 or more previous convictions. In 252 of these cases, the person in the dock had more than 100 past convictions yet was still not jailed.

The figures, which cover England and Wales...

Does everyone have their turkeys defrosted?

If it's still frozen, here's what you've got to do:
Leave it in the original wrapping.
Put it in your kitchen sink.
Fill the sink with cold water.
Then either change the water every 30 minutes, or leave cold water trickling.
You'll need to do this for 30 minutes per pound.
For a 20 pound bird, this will be 10 hours.
Get started right now if you haven't already!

When you're talking about Law, language is important. No, they are NOT openly calling for a military coup - that sounds like "Hello Joint Chiefs, I want you to conduct a Military Coup at 9 AM tomorrow morning, and I will support you completely."

What they are doing is hinting in a wink wink, nudge nudge roundabout way that they might not mind if such a thing would happen. Which of course is reprehensible, but that's a political matter to be handled by political means, not a criminal matter.
I think the best way to address it would be for the President to do a prime time address to the nation from the Oval Office, stating what they had done, that they were doing it to support the cartels, and explaining what harm they were trying to accomplish by saying such a thing.

405 The movie is also a rip-off of From Dusk Till Dawn.

Sinners is just another vampire movie.

I rate it below Dracula 2000. Because that one at least had an interesting plot point.

Sinners abandoned the only interesting plot point for the DEI; that is, the Indians hunting the vampires.

That would have been a cool movie for that time period.

That, and the idea that the vamps were a hive mind. Kinda clever, but they did nothing with it. Instead, the movie spends an hour developing the twins' idiotic plan to spend a lot of money to open a nightclub ... in a dirt-poor community where most people don't even have real money.

408 The congressional Democrats were also not on the same page about whether the U.S. military was currently engaging in illegal activities, with some Democrats admitting that they were not sure if any current U.S. military actions were illegal, while others have previously said or are currently saying that U.S. troop deployments to American cities and U.S. strikes against Venezuelan drug-running boats are illegal.

... so these law makers aren't sure what is illegal, but military 'grunts' are supposed to have the legal judgement on legality ?

412 399 Democrats declared Biden the nominee in the summer of 2019 during the impeachment, before a single vote was cast. I pointed out how odd it was at the time. Then he magically became the nominee.

Posted by: ... at November 25, 2025 01:21 PM (E0p3T)

=====

You know this is bullshit.

They pushed every single name possible before they coalesced behind Biden. They could have cleared the deck in 2020 like they had with Hillary in 2016, and given Biden an easy victory instead of the apparatus backing, in turn, Kamala then Beto then Warren then Buttigieg before finally resigning and backing Biden.

What they did was use anything to attack Trump. "Biden could be the nominee, and Trump is attacking a potential rival."

The entire 2020 primary belies the idea that Biden was chosen from the beginning.

Fine.

"SISU: The Road to Vengeance" - a fun, whip-smart roller coaster ride of an action movie.
You don't need to see the first one to enjoy it.
BONUS: This time around he kills tons of Commies/

"Keeper" - I had high hope for this as I like what Osgood Perkins has been doing lately. And higher hopes 45-50 minutes in, buuuuuuut then it failed on the expolanation and lost me, a drag to the end.


TV Sh0ow:

"Last Samarai Standing" - very fun version of Squid Game (kinda) set in old Japan. Great action, great hero, well-done bad guys. It's streaming on Netflix. Check it out.

It's a nonsense claim for several reasons, the most obvious is
Article I, Section 8, Clause 11:

[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; . . .

Now I'll accept that an AUMF can substitute for a declaration for limited purposes, but what AUMF passed by Congress are we operating under currently?

I stick by my story: Jarrett's faction wanted Harris, but she was pure poison, and then Gabbard knocked her out for good.

So they quickly cleared the field for their decrepit crony Biden, and just tacked her on, figuring they'd replace him shortly.

But she was a dumb drunk, and he was aggressively senile, and all his advisers were numbskulls, and then a Leftist shot Trump in the head, but he survived, and the whole scam fell to pieces.

441 @TomServo - back in the 1950's, with respect to Korea, the courts held that it was a war - basically, if it quacks like a duck, it's a duck. A declaration is evidence that a war exists, but the absence of a declaration doesn't mean a war doesn't exist.

443 These fucking people are fucking theater kids, and clearly don't understand what most of the people in the service feel. I'm not a special case, but I'm not the norm, but when I was in The Marine Corps, I don't know if I ever mentioned, I didn't join so I could be a hard ass, I could have joined a gang, or stayed an athlete and beaten up the college pussy's when I was attending for AAE. I didn't join to measure my dick, I know how big it is and it's not measured in my contract or in the price of my car, I joined because I had a good life.

That's it. I had a good life, and others deserved a chance to have one. My family, the way I was raised the freedom including all of my fuckups were because they and I were free, and I wanted to guarantee that.

I HATE violence and I hate conflict but the best way to oppose it is to shut it down before it begins.

I don't wag my salad board in the comments, I even reference my service sarcastically. These people think the are Appostles of righteousness.
