Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Just a "Classic MAGA" Kind of AssassinFrom gKVWE, this guy was pure Christian conservative. The man charged with killing Charlie Kirk played a pornographic online game called 'Furry Shades of Gay' and followed artists who drew explicit cartoons associated with pedophilia. Tyler Robinson, 22, was arraigned on seven charges on Tuesday including murder and witness tampering for allegedly shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk at the Utah Valley University campus last week. Robinson's online accounts, uncovered by the Daily Mail, show the alleged assassin had an interest in gay porn involving humanoid animal characters called 'furries'.Wow it's like they're talking about me! I feel seen. But RedRusker went too far even for the furries. In 2023, he was embroiled in a scandal among the niche community when underage porn cartoons he had drawn resurfaced. One depicted a large older humanoid animal using recreational drugs to have sex with a small, younger humanoid possum called Snack, labeled as being 'age 8' in the depraved comic. A redacted image viewed by the Daily Mail shows one older character saying to another 'popper him up for me, it'll help', apparently referring to giving drugs to the eight-year-old possum character.So, what I know about gay culture (via garrett): Poppers -- amyl nitrate -- are taken to dilate the anus and make anal sex more comfortable. Amyl nitrate more like anal nitrate am i rite The cartoon is about drugging a "cub" to prepare him for anal rape. Just classic conservative stuff right there. I see him wearing a sporty Ivy League sweater and smoking a pipe.

------- One could assert that Japan is a largely Godless nation. Posted by: Crusader at September 18, 2025 12:26 PM (TN0g+) The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition![]() One way research can help to get things back on track is by broadening the criteria governments use to assess railway investment, says Christian Wolmar, an independent transport consultant and author based in London. All too often, these are based on narrow metrics of profitability or ‘time saved’ by potential users, with insufficient consideration of the wider social and environmental impacts. Economists, other social scientists and sustainability researchers can all contribute to developing more-robust assessments of these indirect benefits. Ah yes...change the metrics so that trains look better, and poof! Trains will look better. By all means, avoid that yucky measure of profitability, because really, what does that tell you about the technology? Time saved? Yes, as an indicator, it is valuable, and there are other considerations when comparing the movement of people and cargo from point A to point B. Great...so you got yourself or the cargo to the train station. But what happens next? You still have to get yourself to your destination, or your cargo to the end user. That's one of the shortcomings of rail transport and travel, so by all means...ignore it! So now we have to pay attention to social and environmental impacts, which means bringing in the elite of our current academic mess...sustainability researchers! And sociologists! But don't worry, the assessment will be more robust. Here's another lovely few sentences that will be recognizable to all of the people who just love the idea of the 15 minute city! Better rail-based mass-transit options could help to reduce urban sprawl, as well as the land needed for roads, car parks and other car-related infrastructure. Less-congested cities with fewer motor vehicles are more liveable places where people are more inclined to walk and cycle, reaping the health benefits of these activities. They are also more inclusive, particularly for younger and older people who are less likely to own a vehicle.Oh no! The evil car rears its ugly head. Never mind that cars give us freedom and autonomy, and are a superb measure of real wealth. But rest assured, our overlords are concerned for our health, so get on that bicycle and ride to work in the rain and snow! Don't worry...everyone will be doing it, so you can feel like you are part of a huge, homogeneous crowd. Research can also illuminate the winners and losers created by investment decisions. China, for example, is set to continue the breakneck expansion of its high-speed rail, aiming to reach 60,000 kilometres by 2030. But scholars are debating the wisdom of the speed and scale of this expansion, with uncertainty remaining about how widely the economic benefits of high-speed links are distributed. That one is a real head scratcher. Apparently economic success needs to be examined more carefully than just by...you know...economic success. I guess that's why inclusivity and carbon credits will be more important than traditionally accepted financial measures. And they aren't pleased with China, in spite of the commies building lots of high speed rail, because there hasn't been sufficient oversight of the networks by those sustainability researchers and equity consultants? But this one might be my favorite, in a vomit-inducing sort of way... The United Kingdom will be celebrating its role in birthing the railways later this month, but the country also offers an example of the effects disinvestment in railways can have. A 2024 study examined a sustained programme of cuts made to the nation's railway network from the 1950s to the 1980s. It found that the predominantly rural areas most affected by the cuts saw population declines, job losses and drops in the number of skilled workers, relative to areas that were unaffected. STAY ON THE LAND, SERFS! And wet streets cause rain, but that's the sort of analysis that is necessary to support a political philosophy that requires rigid social hierarchies, forcing people into planned-by-the-government housing and employment, and taking away their ability to be human and go where they want to go, and do what they want to do. You know: communism. Two hundred and fifty years ago, a Scottish economist named Adam Smith wrote about the now-obvious concept of "the invisible hand." That is a perfect metaphor for the billions of individual decisions, motivated by self-interest, that drive economies. That invisible hand decides winners and losers, and it is the most efficient, and maybe the only way for economies to prosper. Elites short circuit those decisions by incorrectly assuming that their understanding of economies and societies are better than the sum of those billions of individual choices. They are wrong. They have always been wrong, and their arrogance has brought only pain and suffering and poverty. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

But scholars are debating the wisdom of the speed and scale of this expansion, with uncertainty remaining about how widely the economic benefits of high-speed links are distributed.
When discussing high speed trains, Japan and China are often cited as examples of how to do it. However, it is almost always left unsaid that HST in both countries is grossly underused and a MASSIVE money loser, requiring constant infusions of taxpayer dollars.

Got into a discussion with a cousin who insisted that high speed rail should happen in this country. I pointed out that the environmental impact report would take at least a decade to resolve first and God help you if the rail line crossed the sacred breeding ground of the Sideways Walking Cockroach. Then you get the fact that the rails have to be stronger than regular rail lines and need more maintenance.

The upper middle class doesn’t take the subway in Paris or Berlin or Amsterdam . They drive. It’s the lower and middle classes that have no other choice but to take the subway.

18 Got into a discussion with a cousin who insisted that high speed rail should happen in this country. I pointed out that the environmental impact report would take at least a decade to resolve first and God help you if the rail line crossed the sacred breeding ground of the Sideways Walking Cockroach. Then you get the fact that the rails have to be stronger than regular rail lines and need more maintenance.

I think a lot of these nature-type and outdoor-lifestyle magazines were bought up and now owned or operated by only a few big companies. Look at the mastheads. It's almost always published and controlled by some bigger company with lots of similar titles it also publishes.
So you get unimind leftist bullshite almost without any deviation from dogma no matter what. Hence, if you read a hiking/camping magazine, you'll get articles celebrating lesbian hikers as if they're some rare unicorn. Huh? The percentage of lesbians in hiking is far higher than in the general population. It's almost like a WNBA magazine doing a piece on the rare league examples of bitter hateful bull dykes.

or service was cut because there were fewer riders.
Either or. Posted by: toby928 ======= Passenger rail failed in the US due to travel via the roadways became far faster, more convenient and if greater speed was needed, flying. Little difference in being in a rail car at 55-60 mph and a car driving that distance except when you arrived, you already had transport in the city if you drove in by car. And plane travel is about 450+ mph travel albeit with security theater and unpleasant seating, it makes the long transcontinental runs in a couple of hours versus a 12-15 hour train trip if your train could average something like 200-300 mph. US is simply not ideal for train travel other than in densely populated areas like Boswash corridor and perhaps special lines like from LA to Vegas or Orlando to Miami.

Posted by: NR Pax at September 18, 2025 11:11 AM (BpO1e) A few years ago there was this map going around that someone created with high speed train lines. It looked kinda like the interstate map but for trains. And people online were gushing saying how awesome would it be to take a train from LA to NY in a few hours. It would be so much better than flying. And virtually none of these people realized that even with the fastest train on the planet and assuming it could be non-stop and traveling at top speed the entire time (which of course isn’t possible) it would still take 10-12 hrs vs a 5 hr flight. And realistically with stops along the way, having to slow down in the mountains etc more like 18-20 hours. These people live in an alternate universe.

Never mind that cars give us freedom and autonomy, and are a superb measure of real wealth.
There are plans to turn trains into cars as well. The benefit of trains to the anointed isnt that they save the earth. Its that they allow for much better control and tracking of movement. Possibly the only viable solution currently proposed to overcome the problem of batteries in battery-powered vehicles is to bypass them, and install power strips in roadways. Battery-powered vehicles would no longer need massive battery arrays to travel long distances. While this might initially be used solely to power battery-powered vehicles on the road, the technology is easily adapted to (a) shut down travel in general, and (b) identify each vehicle on the road and exactly where they currently are, thus (c) allowing targeted shutdowns of travel as well as general tracking.

Public transportation could work if it can be offered cheaply, efficiently, go where people need to go and be self-sustaining.
Since it universally fails most of those test, they are generally a boon-doggle. I've been taking the bus into Manhattan for the last couple of months.

Thus boring studies that negate provocative findings or try to replicate existing research or that have totally negative findings are rarely, if ever published. So if your tenured career depends on publishing--you go for unique and positive findings even if you have to do intellectual shortcuts to get those findings like change your hypothesis (most honest), or worse statistically torture data to get weak findings that you ballyhoo, or in cases nowadays, you simply cherrypick datasets, use stat processes that are ill understood in your field, 'lose' some problematic data, rely on imputation to fill missing data, and other nasty tricks.

The propaganda has worked on yuuutes. The percent of teenagers with licenses has been dropping steadily since the late 2000s. A large part of that is they’ve been brainwashed into thinking they’ll kill the erf if they drive a car.
Fine with me; fewer cars and idiot drivers on the road. That assumes, of course, that I'm not made to pay for their transportation, which I will be. Posted by: Archimedes at September 18, 2025 11:25 AM (Riz8t) 97
52 And virtually none of these people realized that even with the fastest train on the planet and assuming it could be non-stop and traveling at top speed the entire time (which of course isn’t possible) it would still take 10-12 hrs vs a 5 hr flight. And realistically with stops along the way, having to slow down in the mountains etc more like 18-20 hours.
saw a youtube video a couple months ago by some amtrak fans, things an amtrak noob should know. as i watched it, they all could be summed up by "noobs tend to be foolish enough to think amtrak might be competent." tips like "don't assume the train will be anywhere near on time" and "don't assume that the dining car will be operational".

One of my policy goals will be to limit New Yorkers ability to move around Manhattan. If you can't walk there in 15 minutes, you probably don't need to go! The wealthy and powerful most especially should not own vehicles, as that privilege is not necessary to their work.

>>Passenger trains only make sense where they make sense, ie, where they are profitable.
If you look at the profitability of various Amtrak routes you find that the northeast corridor, from Boston to DC, is by far the most profitable. It's the nature of the geography. From Boston with stops in (among other places) Providence, New Haven, NYC, Newark, Trenton, Philly, Wilmington, DC and Baltimore. That entire route is full of heavy traffic on I-95 so unless you have certain deadlines or need to travel extensively at a destination the train works as an alternative. In less populated areas not so much. Posted by: JackStraw at September 18, 2025 11:26 AM (viF8m) 101

Trains have a place for people transportation but not as much as social planners dream. We already have direct rail between major destinations in this country. Commercial freight rail and not six hundred stops in between.
Cut out prohibitive regulation and encourage freight rail to add passenger cars at the tail.

Trains have a place. They are GREAT for cheap bulk cargo movement; the only thing better is container shipping. And shipping requires a coast or navigable river.
I like taking the commuter train when there's a blizzard; if possible. I'd rather be in the train than a car when the inevitable lunatic driver slides off the road, and sometimes that driver is me. Or if I'm going to an event where I know the parking situation or gridlock afterwords will be horrific, like a huge sporting event. But passenger rail usually only makes sense for commuting if your destination is very close to the rail terminus. Which isn't very often. Those.... are very narrow situations. Probably not enough to justify billions in passenger rail. Cargo rail? We need more of it... less tractor trailers on the road would be nice.

Ah yes...change the metrics so that trains look better, and poof! Trains will look better.
So absolutely true. But what it doesn't address is how you then PAY FOR said train when nobody rides it, even after you make it look better. This is the real problem. Trains need to provide a reason to your potential riders as to why they should use it. It has to be a better option than other possibilities. If you can't beat out cars for very short distance trips and planes for longer distance travel, then your trains will never have any ridership other than the homeless (who are not paying customers).

I love trains, and they are in my blood. My grandfather worked at the Union Pacific like 50 years from when he first immigrated to the USA from Denmark. They are romantic and amazing machines. There is a lot of good to say about trains.
But, having spent a month traveling on trains around the country to visit family earlier in the year, I don't like them nearly as much as I used to. Putting aside the concerns raised above, there are rea practical problems with trains. 1) There are only so many tracks (and realistically can only be so many tracks) so that there is a traffic jam of sorts, with trains having to pull onto side tracks to let each other by. Since Amtrack owns no tracks, passenger trains always step aside. 2) The trains run constantly, but they take time to get to their destination, so they show up at odd times and there are sometimes very long layovers as you wait for the next train to get there. I showed up in places at like 3 in the morning and had waits of up to 5 hours. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 18, 2025 11:42 AM (dfIr7) 183

It's infuriating. Posted by: Braenyard Amtrak uses the freight rail network outside of the east coast. Their arrival time estimates are measured in days, because the priority of those rails is freight. They also must reduce their speed because they are on freight rails. The only reason Amtrak exists is because the feds demanded it. All railroads were determined to get rid of passenger rail, because it was losing so much money, starting with the decade the Model T was introduced.

3) Trains are old tech and they feel it. Even the nicest, newest ones rumble and creak and bounce and sway around and are loud. They are small inside, even though there's more room than a jet, you have limited space for even a deluxe room. 4) While the food is actually good and you can eat at an actual table, the menu is necessarily very limited, so if you ride more than a day or two it starts to get kid of repetitive.

There's another problem with the "more mass transit" call. The profitability is a serious issue. Yes, roads are a net loss for government as well: they don't earn money, even a toll bridge. But there's a huge difference.
First, roads allow people to go wherever they want, at any time they want, for any reason they want. They represent freedom where trains represent control. Second, while a train can carry a lot of freight and people -- second only to boats for cost efficiency -- roads do that and allow for the above liberty, but more importantly, allow for emergency and first responder traffic and tourism dollars. People don't come to a city to ride the train, they come to go places like family who don't live at train stops. Third, you cannot go grocery shopping on the train. You can get a couple bags, but that once-a-month big shopping trip? Completey impractical and unreasonable on a train. Even if you can somehow get all your freight on the light rail car, what are you gonna do at the station when you're let off?

Light rail SOUNDS like a neat idea, until you realize that its only really useful for rich young people who live downtown and don't do much shopping. They are a trash can the city burns money in (usually money from the rest of the state as well, because the biggest city gets the lion's share of state tax money).
Roads make money in the sense that they are the economic drivers for the city, bringing in tourism, freight, and moving commerce around. Big freight trains earn money by carrying freight and passengers, but are extremely limited in where they can and will go. They have their use, but cannot replace roads or cars. All three have their place, but the train-fixation by some is simply ignorant romanticism. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 18, 2025 11:51 AM (dfIr7) 230

sustainability researchers
Oof. Rail is inherently less sustainable because it requires absolutely fixed infrastructure. Yes, you can lay new track and take up old track... but not nearly as flexibly as roads. THIS is the ultimate drawback to rail for passengers - it goes from point A to point B, and if it goes from point A to B to C to E to F, with an occasional side run to D, it loses any sort of appeal in simplicity. (It becomes a subway.) I would love to live where I could hop down to the rail station, ride into town, get around town with not much difficulty on subway/elevated/light rail, get back on the train and go back to the rail station, then hop on home. But, since I don't just buy a bag of groceries when I go in, but DIY items like boards, pipes, plywood, tools, etc. I need a car/truck anyway. Since I have one, why would I not use it when I make what would be that easy trip on the train (in an ideal world)? Especially since I could, mid-trip, snap my fingers and realize I needed something else, drive outside the other side of town and get it, then go home?

The chunnel was done so the globalists could take England.
Posted by: ... ====== Eh, England has a long history of shipping and the ferries, etc. already existed. For the most part, the illegals are using small boats to cross the Channel, not the Chunnel and France allowing those illegal camps on teh coast where those boats launch from is a major irritant between France and UK today.

The only reason Amtrak exists is because the feds demanded it. All railroads were determined to get rid of passenger rail, because it was losing so much money, starting with the decade the Model T was introduced.
Trains made money moving people up to the 60s or so when airlines became more effective and comfortable. Its still kind of a neat way to travel but I would not do so with kids or if you have any sort of schedule. And its a bit exhausting.

The trouble with mass transit is it doesn't usually take you to your house or destination away from home. And it doesn't do those things when you need them.
Rental cars, taxi cabs, and Uber rides have become enormously expensive. I often spend more on local transportation when I fly somewhere than on the airplane tickets themselves. Same would go for train travel and bus travel. Domestic travel will be greatly affected by the coming self-driving car revolution. We are much closer to having self-driving cars than most people realize. Rather than take public transportation between air-, train-, or bus-terminals, people will get in their self-driving cars, maybe go to sleep, and end up at their destination a day or two later. The maturation of self-driving cars will be analogous to the Hemingway's comment on going bankrupt: “How did you go bankrupt?” (How was self-driving technology perfected?) “Two ways.” “Gradually and then suddenly.” Self-driving cars will take over suddenly when it happens, and it will happen sooner than most people think.

Oh, one great use for "light rail" is to run it from hubs in to the local airport. Especially if there are airport functions in those outlying facilities. Build a check-in facility in south Arlington and run the light rail straight up 360 to DFW airport, where it drops you off to ride the airport shuttle rail. I'd pay some extra for that.
It might work because DFW is a huge regional airport hub and you'd have paid riders. It probably wouldn't work in Amarillo. Posted by: GWB at September 18, 2025 11:58 AM (RTQn+) 263

I oppose the idea of the FDA forcing companies to fire people because they don't like what those people say. I am totally opposed to that in every way.
However, and this is a big however, Jimmy Kimmel loses his business money every year. Not a much as Colbert, but still: he's a cash bonfire for the network, not an earner. Guys like him eventually get shown the door and ABC needed an excuse. But Kimmel isn't fired, he's in a time out box for being a dumbass above and beyond the call over a very hot button issue. He either lied or is inexcusably ignorant given his job. He'll be back but probably will have his sown canceled as well because talk shows are like old time radio drama shows: novelty and nostalgia, not money makers.

---------- Please please please contact a HIGH PRODUCING Realtor in your area. Then ask them to give you two recommendations for home inspectors. Then call each of the home inspection companies and tell them of your plight. They will know of freon-alternatives that won't cost an arm and a leg and won't require you to buy a new system. Seriously! Yes you're jumping thru some hoops, but you want to call only GOOD home inspection companies, and only GOOD Realtors can tell you which ones to trust since those Realtors sell a lot of homes and won't work with lazy inspectors or inspectors that kill deals (like suggesting that freon obsolescence is a reason to replace a system).

Posted by: TheJamesMadison They put out a bench warrant to be executed later with extreme prejudice. Alfred Hitchcock was once accused of hating police--he said, no, I am afraid of them. Used to use The Wrong Man at the very beginning of the semester for criminal law. And if you notice, the cops are not the mean scumbags--it is just when the finger of the law points to you--then all the focus of cops goes to prove your guilt in the legal system. The movie demonstrated accepted practices done by probably the highest trained police force in the US at the time (NYPD) and it rolled snake eyes in Manny's case that literally ruined his life. Police and governments are necessary evils in this world because otherwise you either go to less desirable vigilante action or you go to anarchy where everyone is viewed as a target.

No. The police must have a "reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime" to detain you, and they have be detaining you before they can *require* ID. They are free to request it in other circumstances, but you have no obligation to play along unless they admit or assert that you are being detained and give you the "reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime".

You want to make trains more attractive?
1) Allow gambling while the car is in motion. 2) employers can count commuting time as "on the clock" if it is via rail; if not, a tax credit for your time. 3) Override all environmental restrictions 4) permit zero input or objections from any cities or counties--e.g., train will stop here, here and here no objections, no slow downs in between; build it like the interstate highway system 5) rail fares are 2 (or more) to 1 income tax credits 6) the trains will run on time LOL trains are stupid for moving people.

Posted by: Crusader ====== In public, away from your car, you get whatever process the po po want you to get. They are not required to tell you the reasonable articulable facts but have to later in court. And yes, they can briefly detain you, ask you questions in public etc., and the magic words are Am I free to Go. If not, you are taking a ride or at the very least going to have to cough up std. info about who you are, what you are doing around the location, etc. and it might escalate to a frisk etc. Don't prolong any stop more than necessary. Stops involving cars are different as the cops will almost always tie some sort of driving infraction in order to pull you over (or roadblocks). And don't take field sobriety tests or breathanalysers--make them take you somewhere for blood tests/calibrated breathanalyzer. Posted by: whig at September 18, 2025 12:23 PM (WDjG6) 373

Cafe House, Cairo (Casting Bullets)
Jean-Léon Gérôme French 1884 or earlier While two mercenaries cast bullets and a third, seated behind them, seems to be inspecting one, others engage in revelry and a man and woman converse. Despite these apparent incongruities, the meticulous painting technique renders the scene convincing. Gérôme traveled to Egypt many times from 1855 onward. His recollections of these journeys, together with objects that he brought back to Paris, became ingredients for scenes which today might be regarded as historical fictions. The title of this work derives from the stock book of Gérôme’s dealer, who bought the painting from the artist in 1884, presumably soon after he finished it.

I am beyond frustrated with the "principled right" at the moment.
Broadcast licensees sign agreements and are subject to regulation from the FCC to maintain their access to gov owned airwaves. That the FCC has failed to enforce those regulations for literally decades doesn't make the regulations less lawful. That an FCC commissioner decided, "Hey, broadcast licensees should be subject to the regulations that they've agreed to hold to in exchange for access to the airwaves," is not jawboning. Kimmel very easily was in violation of 47 C.F.R. § 73.1217. He is on record as refusing to correct his violation of this. ABC not doing anything about it risks their agreement with the gov on how to run the airwaves they license out from the gov. It's materially different from Biden telling Twitter to shut down accounts that challenged lockdown procedures. The narrative that it's all jawboning also completely sidesteps the affiliates independently announcing the pre-empting of Kimmel's show. Does it look bad for free speech? It does not, because broadcast networks don't actually have a blanket free speech protection while using govt owned airwaves.

And now, a word from Jim Acosta.
Jim Acosta@Acosta Jimmy Kimmel deserves better than this. He’s a class act. Case in point - after my first appearance on his show back in 2018, he very thoughtfully asked whether I was receiving adequate security at that time, as Trump was repeatedly smearing journalists as “the enemy of the people,” comments that resulted in threats aimed at many of us in the White House Press Corps. I’ll never forget that moment of kindness from Jimmy. It spoke volumes. Make no mistake, our right to free speech is under attack in this country. This right must be defended as it is essential to the American way of life. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Who Has Had About Enough! at September 18, 2025 09:56 AM (L/fGl) 114

Interesting and different scene. Gerome paints with a realism and detail even in his historical subjects. This one is more focussed, more intimate but it still has his use of brilliant color especially in the clothing of the figures in the foreground. Their expressions are individual and appropriate which makes them stand out even more. To my mind, the use of ancient stonework being used for modern times seems very Egyptian. The otherwise basic items, like the wicker (?) crate used as a seat, points to a degraded culture.
I'll add that the bullet casting setup is accurate. People have been casting bullets, especially round ball, in the most basic manner for hundreds of years. A campfire will do the job. I've cast thousands of bullets over the years and I hope the mold and ladle have wooden or cloth handles because those things get damn hot. Also, anyone messing with molten lead without proper shoes is a fool asking for pain. Posted by: JTB at September 18, 2025 09:56 AM (yTvNw) 117

The right simply gave up enforcing long held law against the left from top to bottom for decades, letting the left run wild and free breaking rules and regulations because "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring a case.
Trump is not overstepping bounds in the least. He's enforcing long held law. It's like actually deporting anyone not here legally. Previous GOP presidents just didn't do it, and suddenly it's an abuse of power when Trump does it? Fuck off. Forcing ABC to be truthful in the discussion of criminal acts, in compliance with 47 C.F.R. § 73.1217 is not overstepping any bounds.

Back then, bullets were cast round balls for the most part. These projectiles had very low ballistic coefficients and sectional density and thus shed velocity quickly. A 50 caliber ball weighs about 180 grains, so movie scenes where the rifle drives the shooter back with recoil are exaggerated. Now a 50 caliber muzzleloader with conical bullets in the 300 grain range driven by 100+ grains of black powder or equivalent has some fairly substantial recoil.

Since it came up. Recoil from a black powder muzzleloader is typically less than with modern ammo. A standard velocity 30-06 kicks a lot more than a 50 caliber round ball load. The Great White Hunters of the 1800s going after dangerous African game like Cape Buffalo used 4 gauge or 2 gauge smoothbore where the powder charge was measured in ounces, not grains. I've seen them fired. They will knock you back a few steps. If you don't brace properly, they will put you on your ass, possibly with a shoulder injury.

I remember when WitchDoktor disappeared for a couple of years. There were fears that he had done something. Just no word.
And then he came back, and I was genuinely relieved. I didn't know much about his troubles, but I knew that he had them. I could see the troubles peek up from time to time in comments, but he always seemed to bounce back with good humor after a time. He was fun to talk to. He was smart. He had particular insights that contributed to the comments section. I will genuinely miss him.

The narrative that it's all jawboning also completely sidesteps the affiliates independently announcing the pre-empting of Kimmel's show.
Does it look bad for free speech? It does not, because broadcast networks don't actually have a blanket free speech protection while using govt owned airwaves. Posted by: TheJamesMadison ======== It is intellectually easier to just recite tropes disguised as muh principles than actually engaging with law, past practice, and court cases interpreting the Constitution. Also far lazier in that you don't have to rally political support from the community for your definitions. It should be the way that I FEEL it should be with vague acknowledgments to some sort of Gnostic (semi-secret to the chosen) principles is a poor form of argumentation.

Posted by: man Damn, my mother has vascular dementia diagnosis. Thanks for semi confirming my suspicions that the vaxx was designed around a vile evil engineered spike just like the virus was itself. The spike is what is doing the damage and by teaching the body to replicate the spike just makes matters worse. And then it appears a lot of adulterants/contaminants were in those shots.

Posted by: Biff Pocoroba Doesn't matter. Kimmel disobeyed his own company's demand that he apologize and instead wanted to weasel word and say what he wants. ABC affiliates had the right to demand ABC apologize or they weren't going to air the show to the detriment of corporate ABC's bottom line. So Kimmel goes as much for insubordination for refusing to apologize than being cancelled. Carano was never offered that choice nor was she responsible for potential massive financial losses. Apples and oranges. Posted by: whig at September 18, 2025 10:50 AM (WDjG6) 298

NYPost:
Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk weren’t just noxiously offensive and seemingly misleading — their timing was also incredibly bad: They threaten to derail Nexstar’s $6.2 billion takeover of rival broadcaster Tegna, telecom insiders tell On The Money. The already controversial deal — which would combine two of the nation’s largest owners of local TV stations — poses significant antitrust questions and needs a close review by the Federal Communications Commission and its conservative firebrand chairman, Brendan Carr. Kimmel’s comments made that approval even dicier. That’s why Nexstar publicly announced Thursday that its stations would no longer carry the show, telecom insiders tell On The Money. Ditto for ABC, which produces and distributes “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to broadcasters like Nexstar — and likewise has business before the FCC. Posted by: SMOD at September 18, 2025 10:52 AM (RHGPo) 302

Is “casting bullets” a euphemism for smoking opium? I can’t see anything!
Posted by: Unkaren at September 18, 2025 11:26 AM (TIzYS) The Morning Report — 9/18/25![]() A bomb squad is investigating a suspicious bag left outside the headquarters of the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization in Phoenix, Arizona. . . The Phoenix incident raises security concerns ahead of a funeral service for Kirk, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday at State Farm Stadium, the home of the Arizona Cardinals.On Sunday, two men, including a Pakistani immigrant, were arrested after a bomb was found under a FOX 13 Salt Lake City news vehicle in Magna, Utah, less than 50 miles from the site of Kirk’s assassination. On top of that we have this madness, evidently there was some sort of car-ramming incident at the FBI's field office in Pittsburgh, and the Bureau is not mincing words. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) launched a manhunt Wednesday for a man who allegedly rammed his vehicle into the Pittsburgh field office gate in what officials called a targeted “act of terror.”So the religion of peace (pfft!) joins up with the Leftist peace love and understanding crowd. The result is a peace sign on Private Achmed Joker's suicide vest. Full Metal semtex Jacket. Lurker extraordinaire and Ace cruelty fanboy the estimable Prof. Victor Davis Hanson had these observations in his latest outing entitled The Murder of Charlie Kirk Was Not a George Floyd Moment: One, Charlie Kirk is not conservatives’ George Floyd. There were no mass riots after his death of the sort that followed Floyd’s demise. Floyd’s death was used by the left to justify five months of rioting, arson, murder, looting, and attacking police officers. The postmortem respect for Kirk’s singular life was not characterized by $2 billion in property damage, the torching of a police precinct, a federal courthouse, and an iconic church, 35 deaths, and 1,500 injured law-enforcement officers. Instead, thousands of people peacefully joined his Turning Point USA organization and promised to redirect their lives toward peaceful political engagement.Certainly not a "George Floyd Moment" but perhaps it at long last was a 9/11 moment, after a very long string of them (9/11 among them) that will awaken a largely indifferent or alumbering multitude to the beast that lives among us who is at our throats right here and right now. That being the Leftist/Progressive/Socialist movement and its Islamic allies of convenience, with its epicenter in the Democrat Party. With that assertion that I defy anyone to disprove, we have this very encouraging news: President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that his administration would be designating the far-left radical activist group Antifa a terrorist organization.. . . “I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”With all due respect to President Trump, the term RADICAL LEFT is a redundancy in that Leftism in and of itself is radical both in terms of what it believes and desires and the tactics it will use to go about in achieving them. Ditto this notion of RADICAL Islam. Islam for the past near millennium and a half has sought the conquest of the world via the poisoned pen but mostly via the rusty scimitar and in the past 100 years or so modern firearms. But bravo President Trump. To designate Antifa as an actual organization, which until now has only been considered by many to be just loose associations of lone crackpot lefties who appear every so often at WEF confabs and so forth. But it surely must be led and of course funded by actual identifiable groups and individuals that together constitute what is accurately defined as a terrorist organization. And the investigation must identify every part of it and utterly dismantle it root and branch. I would be my bottom dollar that it will ultimately lead to the actual Democrat Party and quite a few of its most powerful players at the middle of its black heart of darkness, depravity and demonic desires. No quarter Mr. President. You must go all the way in wiping out Antifa and who- whatever is behind it all or else there will be many more who end up like Charlie Kirk before they can fulfill his promise. It's us or them as is plainly evident. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!

Five, the left used the death of Floyd to promote its hard-left and otherwise unpopular agenda—defunding the police, cashless bail, decriminalization of theft, and DEI mandates.

As I thought about Kirk’s murder this past week, it made me think of the account in Luke 4… Jesus was back in his home town of Nazareth and all he did was speak, but what he said so enraged them they wanted to throw him off a cliff… or in Acts 7 Stephen preached a sermon that so enraged his audience the text says they covered their ears, rushed at him and stoned him to death.
Charlie Kirk was in the habit of calmly talking and the response of the insane left is to cover their ears and kill him…. Oh, Acts 7 gives some insight into why: It says they were “cut to the quick”… yeah, people absolutely hate it when anyone says they might be doing something wrong Posted by: LinusVanPelt at September 18, 2025 08:02 AM (P/Wjn) 49

Today is going to be glorious for sharing the Left's unhinged meltdowns after Trump declared Antifa a terror org.
Antifa isn’t even an organization. It literally just means anti-fascist. There is no organization antifa, no leader, no hierarchy or structure. Everyone who is anti-fascist can be described as antifa. Anybody that says they're opposed to fascism is officially a terrorist sympathizer. It's the new McCarthyism, and so vague they can target anyone. They're going after protesters now. Trump is attacking boats from Venezuela claiming they're terrorists. He's going to use this justification to murder Americans He's essentially talking about declaring The Neighborhood Watch a 'terrorist organization'. The point of this is to discourage and destabilize the Democrats ability to fundraise and organize before the midterms. It’ll work, too! We’re cooked. He can't designate a real domestic entity a terrorist organization. He did this same thing in 2020. It's stupid. I don't like CNN's headline on this one. "Far-left anti-fascism group Antifa"?

Farewell to a Hollywood Mythmaker: Robert Redford, Dead at 89
-- One of Mr. Black's best friends is a stunt man in Hollywood. After Redford's passing, he relayed a story about a movie they were on together and just how gracious and supportive Redford was to him. Went out of his way to show his appreciation. He didn't put on airs and pull the high and mighty Mr. Celebrity Don't Talk To Me, which meant a lot to this guy who has, no doubt, seen his fair share of that kind of attitude. Redford's activism irritated me. But he certainly wasn't one of the worst. At least, to my knowledge. Posted by: Lady in Black at September 18, 2025 08:18 AM (qBdHI) 86

People frequently say that Democrats have really hurt themselves with their extreme positions on fringe issues normies can't relate to. They're right about that if Democrats are planning around electoral politics, but I don't think they are anymore, and recent events show the upside of their strategy in a different context.
Holding the positions they do is a bad long-term strategy numbers-wise, but not insanity-wise. What if they are *only* interested in the support of the barking mad? When normies are genuinely angry, they hold candlelight vigils. When criminals, pharmacological mutants and sexually mutilated pervert lunatics are simply told to pretend at being angry by their smartphones, they shoot people with sniper rifles and put cities to the torch. There's a lot of power in that, and it's probably the factor they're optimizing their strategies around, now. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at September 18, 2025 08:23 AM (AtXZW) 101

JJ Returns home “Spanish PM Sanchez said… that Spain can’t stop Israel’s battle against Hamas terrorists because ‘Spain does not have nuclear weapons,’” noted the Prime Minister’s Office.

>>Did I say that?
>>No. Putting words in my mouth is the same as lying. No. What I said was show the evidence. You didn't because you can't. Here's how it works. Prosecutors take cases to trial when they have evidence. It takes time to develop cases particularly when they are trying to untangle purposefully complex webs of money laundering to fund terrorist organizations like antifa which until last night wasn't even called a terrorist organization. We all suspect that the CIA/State Dept was funneling money to groups like antifa but there needs to be actual proof along with all of the connections and cutouts. Until a couple of days ago nobody had even heard of Armed Queers or Ermiya Fanaeian. And now we know she is under investigation by the FBI for possible involvement with Kirk assassination.

Where would a Leftist experience any grounding or training in how to manage anything, even his own emotions, effectively? The educational indoctrination has nothing to do with management, likewise nor do public sector or non-profit or law or any of the other non-enterprising enterprises to which they invariably gravitate. Accountability, fiduciary responsibility, bottom-lines mean nothing at any point in their vocational existence.

>>When the law isn't enforced, what is law worth?
But you know why all of those things happened. We've had decades of uniparty rule infecting all levels of our government mostly with the permanent bureaucracy at places like the DOJ/FBI and State Dept. Just because Trump won doesn't mean all of those people have evaporated. It took decades for the rot to take hold, it's going to take a bit of time to get the stables cleaned. >>HOLY CRAP! Kash Patel just revealed that the FBI discovered a violent extremist network called "764" that convinces children to mutilate themselves, or worse, take their own life. >>“We stopped an individual in the 764 network who wanted to conspire to kill an adolescent girl. He is now in custody." You ever heard of that group? Nobody else has either. Now we have. Posted by: JackStraw at September 18, 2025 08:48 AM (viF8m) 193

My friend who is essentially a brainwashed non-political leftard but who voted for Trump this time is really waking up now.
He just had four "friends" that he has known for 30 years online all shun him and boot him out when they found out he voted for Trump. He still thinks it's "both sides" to an extent, but he is starting to wake up to what the Left are. He doesn't understand why they're so "extreme". It's an agonizingly slow process.

Part of the issue is that we are oversaturated with content on a daily basis. Between streaming networks, over-the-air networks, and online video content, there's enormous competition for eyeballs as no one can watch that much stuff.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at September 18, 2025 08:43 AM (7fElN) Right, but Adam Corolla makes a good living, Rogan makes a good living, Tony Hinchcliffe makes a good living, Crowder, and others at least partially in the comedy realm, they make a good living doing what they do. No network production team, maybe a handful of writers (for some of them), they all have a niche, and seem to be perfectly happy doing their thing, completely independent of networks and streaming services (although the streamers are desperate to get them to do a special). The country can handle a variety of entertainment sources, but when it comes to comedy, teevee is dead. Posted by: BurtTC at September 18, 2025 08:51 AM (1a16r) 208

I have no doubt there are several investigations ongoing into leftist organizations. Unlike the Democrats who have the luxury of a bought and paid for judiciary, we have to painstakingly put a case together with only one plausible outcome... guilt.
I think I see why there was such a reluctance on Congress' part to approve many of Trump's picks for various court postings. It would tilt the balance of the judiciary. So, I'm still in the 'nothing is going to happen' crowd until I see some movement in the judiciary where the guilty verdicts are handed out. But I'm hopeful.

Gov. Cox Has Spent Years Embracing The ‘Trans’ Ideology That Corrupted Charlie Kirk’s Killer
_______ One thing I've always envied the left for: the way they are good at disciplining their pols. That dates from back when Hubert Humphrey wasn't pinko enough - and he was DFL! As result, in recent years they've had only 3 not wholly in line: Sinema, Manchin, and Fetterman. And the last is a freak case, a stroke. Posted by: Eeyore at September 18, 2025 09:05 AM (s0JqF) 270

150 Tyler Robinson's parents and his lover have been moved out of Utah to an undisclosed location for their protection.
I suppose we're paying for all this. I would like to know if Tyler and his lover were living off student loan money to pay the rent on their apartment. Posted by: redridinghood I thought I read they lived in a townhouse owned by Twigg's parents, and Robinson actually paid rent to Twiggs (or his parents). I'm a little surprised the authorities moved Twiggs into protection. Sure, he's cooperating, but I assumed he was also involved and they were going to charge him eventually. Protecting him? He might be spilling the beans on the whole Armed Queers network, and involvement in Kirk's death or other terror plots, which would DEFINITELY make him a target. If he's squealing on them in exchange for a reduced sentence, I'm good with it. Posted by: Military Moron at September 18, 2025 09:06 AM (JCZqz) 274

Nothing. What you do is complain that nothing is happening. And the clock is ticking. And all is lost. Without acknowledging that electing Trump did not remove all agency from the enemy. So we have two options. Diligent, but slow - usually unreported, efforts to prosecute those guilty persons who can be prosecuted, or violence.

USS Charles James Kirk.
Make it happen. Posted by: Victor Tango Kilo at September 18, 2025 07:44 AM (1MlMk) Naming a ship after him is an excellent idea, I agree. I would, however, prefer the USS Charlie Kirk. Easier to say, and reflective of how he was known. Plus it would drive the godless left bat-shit insane. Posted by: SSBN 656 (G) I disagree. Naming ships for living people (USS Giffords) and present or past Americans known primarily as political actors (not in the theatrical sense!) (Milk, Giffords) should not happen. What's the point? The way the nation is, at least half the populace will dislike the name. Naming USN ships after politicians and similar is nothing but a vote-buying exercise and a thumb in the eye of political opponents. Return to naming DDs and lower combat ships, and auxiliaries, for naval and Marine Corps heroes. There are plenty. Posted by: Gref at September 18, 2025 09:26 AM (5rh/l) 361

One of Vladimir Putin's advisers has left his post due his opposition to the Russian president's policies on the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it has been reported. Dmitry Kozak, who is of Ukrainian origin, "resigned" from his position as Kremlin deputy chief of staff, according to Russian publication RBC. But the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said that he was likely pushed from his post following "years of disagreement" with Putin about the Ukraine war. Why It Matters Kozak is said to have opposed the full-scale invasion.

Nina Jankowicz, who was in line to become the Biden administration’s “disinformation czar” under a short-lived plan to create a Disinformation Governance Board, is crying foul after she lost an appeal of a ruling that sent her defamation lawsuit against Fox News to the landfill.
In July of 2024, Jankowicz lost her initial bid to sue Fox News for defamation. She had claimed Fox’s coverage of the 2022 furor over the creation of the board and its subsequent dissolution crossed the line. “This was a politically motivated lawsuit aimed at silencing free speech and we are pleased with the court’s decision to protect the First Amendment,” Fox News said. at the time, according to NBC News.

Good morning, all. Thanks, J.J.
Yesterday, was September 17th, which is historically known as the date the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787, making it Constitution Day and Citizenship Day in the United States. The Battle of Antietam in 1862, the deadliest single day of the American Civil War, and the signing of the Camp David Accords in 1978, a major step toward Middle Eastern peace, also happened on that date. We all know Pittsburgh FBI has the Butler, PA field investigation of the attempted Trump assassination & the murder of one innocent bystander. Here's 46 year old Donald H., the 'alleged' gate rammer! >Altoona Mirror, 'Man allegedly rams car into FBI gate.' In part, "PITTSBURGH — A man who rammed a car into an FBI security gate in Pittsburgh and covered it in an American flag Wednesday later said he did it to “make a statement,” the FBI said. Donald Phillip Henson was captured seven hours after fleeing the crash and invoked a Latin phrase about tyrants, “sic semper tyrannis,” meaning “thus always to tyrants,” while talking to the FBI, according to an affidavit. John Wilkes Booth is said to have shouted the phrase after shooting President Abraham Lincoln." Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at September 18, 2025 10:24 AM (NFX2v) 395

A Question for our esteemed master of ceremonies or anyone else who has an answer:
I am looking for a physically upgradable laptop/tablet. Currently using a Lenovo, but they seem to get input problems after about a year-- backspace, enter, space bars don't work unless you press them all at the same time for 5s, touch pad randomly switches off and has to be manually switched back on in settings, and the keyboards start losing connectivity with whole columns, etc. End result is a useless amalgamated chineseium alloy brick. Went through all that about a year and a half ago, and thought it was a one off. Seems that's just the lifespan of Lenovo. I want to buy a base model, and upgrade at least the SSD with my own. I do all my gaming on a desktop rig, so don't need anything crazy. Any strong opinions on the subject?

From what I have read, the network was not ready to let him go from public pressure. The pressure came from the affiliates.
Two of the bigger affiliates said they would not run Kimmel in that time slot. That would be a major loss of revenue on top of the money bleeding out of Kimmel's production. The network may have been looking for a reason to dump him and this was a reason that made sense. Posted by: clarence at September 18, 2025 05:26 AM (hK3ZB) 24
Blue Bayou 4reminds me of the time I left grad school to pursue a woman I fell in love with (@23) who graduated and moved away to go to another school.
I was so poor, I fit everything I owned in a 72 Vega hatchback and was living in the woods outside of Chapel Hill, NC. The song brought back memories of how good things were for me when I was with her and how desperate I was to get that back. I still think about her every now and then.

I have long mused some sort of “strike” by decent peaceable Americans would be interesting. As always the numbers are there, though organization is key. And I’m not sure how it could be done, since pulling students en masse out of government run schools would be chaotic for working parents.
But it has reached a critical mass, something like this should have been done long ago. They maintain “we own your children”, the parent family taxpayers are on the hook for it, “in loco parentis” what’s that mean the teachers union asks, while they fail to teach, and yet find the time to groom them for sex deviancy and political activism. They can’t throw everyone in jail, if everyone is united. Imagine the bulk of American families deleting the schools portion of their property tax bill.

I've long recognized that the teachers unions are a major factor in why we are where we are today. The public employee unions are equally as bad but don't have our kids to mess with.
I don't see a general strike as being sustainable but if another alternative union based on non-commie values could be developed and get a toe-hold, that would start to shake things up. There used to be two unions as I recall, one was affiliated with the AFL-CIO and the other wasn't. I think the commie one took over. Once your kids are out of school, the fire tends to die down, at least it did with me but, good grief, look at the taxes and wasted money.

If you're going to do one great thing with your life being able to sing Blue Bayou like that would be a not bad choice.
The Congress Hotel in Tucson is quite a place. 100 years ago when it was brand new it was a heck of a place to be. Today if you stay there you probably should be doing an inventory of your life choices. The bar by day is where all the alcoholics who get by on social security hang out and by night it's where the newly minted University of Arizona 21-year-old pop-tarts get so drunk they end up questioning their life choices the next day. Every time I go to Tucson I make a point to go there, It really is one of my favorite places. Posted by: Alteria Pilgram - My President has convictions. at September 18, 2025 05:59 AM (aJQjq) 59
mornin yall. Starbucks employees are upset and suing about the new dress code that only allows one facial piercing.
One employee had to spend about $150 for new pants and shoes. “I think it’s extremely tone deaf on the company's part to expect their employees to completely redesign their wardrobe without any compensation,” Allen said. “A lot of us are already living paycheck to paycheck.” Allen said she misses the old dress code, which allowed her to express herself with colorful shirts and three facial piercings."

In the ongoing Linux Mint on the tiny note-taking laptop project, is... font sizes. Both my wife and I have considerable experience at being 29, so we need things sized up on a small screen.
Maybe this will help someone else using Linux Mint with the Cinnamon Desktop on a small laptop screen: Menu button search for: Font Selection and select it. Set Font scaling to 1.5 I suggest at this point also clicking the menu button, then clicking and dragging the right edge out to the right some so you can see the full names of things when the menu displays. Right click desktop empty area, select customize Icon size: Larger (or large, as you desire) I like turning the icon auto-arrangement off, and then clicking on the desktop settings link on that dialog, and turning on the trash icon. At the bottom where the running tasks and pinned applications are (the "panel"): Right click the panel and select "panel settings" (The following settings are suggestions, use what looks and feels right to you on the screen size you have.)

Okay, back to fiddling with the menu: Right click the menu and select "configure". Set the Panel's icon size to 42. Set the following icon sizes for the menu: Categories should be set to 32, Applications to 32, and Favorites to 42. Finally, the cursor. The modern cursor isn't appealing to me. To get something more traditional, click the menu button, search for Themes, and open that. Go to the advanced settings and be sure you're on the themes tab, then select the "DMZ White" mouse pointer. Okay, that's what I've figured out so far.

The whole point of inserting hardware into your face, or any other sartorial facet of what once was the "punk" ethos, is to fight the man and show you refuse to conform to society and work a 9 to 5 like some kind of sheep. It is a performative decision designed to make employment impossible, and show your commitment to the punk lifestyle.

I'm trying to document the tweaks that a user can easily do inside the GUI that will make their life better in certain circumstances (like when it's installed on a tiny 14" laptop screen and the native resolution is 1080p, ie 1920x1080.) I'm just hoping this helps someone here, and I'll try to confine these types of comments to the tech thread where they're topical.

Good morning, Hordians. Getting Her Majesty and The Big Dummy on the road this morning to Belton for shows this weekend.

Posted by: Taft at September 18, 2025 05:25 AM (xtuZw) I’m on my second Lenovo laptop now. No problems on either of them *knocks on wood*, other than usual Windows glitches. Have you ever looked at Framework? Their laptops are the most customizable laptops made, Also a lot easier to upgrade over time. https://frame.work/ They are more expensive for that reason, but if you want a laptop that you can keep for years and get parts to replace or upgrade with, it’s the best choice out there.

I found this prayer by Fr. Mychal Judge who was a chaplain to one of the fire companies on 9/11. He was in his late 60's and after giving last rites to a person dying he was hit by falling debris and died. This is the prayer which he apparently said daily: "Lord, take me where you want me to go; let me meet who you want me to meet; tell me what you want me to say; and keep me out of your way.” I liked it!

@111/Thing From Snowy Mountain:
(one last quick reply before I dash out the door): Go to your local computer shops. Ask if they sell refurbished machines from sources like companies that participate in refurbish programs (when they do their big hardware refreshes every 3, 5, or 7 years.) That can be a cheap and good source of hardware that you're looking for, and that's exactly how I scored mine at about 1/3 of the price of new. (Hint: Don't buy when the students are back in school, buy in the summer when they're out, before the 'back to school' demand hits, because refurbished machine prices go UP at that time.)

Microsoft laptops are pretty much MacBook Airs running Windows given how they're built. Top notch materials, top notch manufacturing, and so on. The Laptop Gos come in at the bottom of the stack; still they used that same design ethos on it with the exception they had to cut some corners to hit a price point. Microsoft Surface PCS are never the cheapest, never the most the most performant, but they are some of the nicest machines you can own. I have been using Surface Pros (The tablet versions) for years. Around 2022. Microsoft really figured out how to make a nice PC and then that shows up in the Gos also.
Based on my experience, I would give Amazon refurb a spin so you can find out if it meets your needs. They really are lovely light duty machines. In a couple years I'm going to go with the latest version of the Surface Pro; that form factor and how it's been executed is my ideal PC.

My current laptop is a Dell Inspiron 14 with an AMD CPU. It is surprisingly fast, and built very nicely.
Dell Inspirons were great machines for the money. I get where you're coming from with those. At some point the build quality of them came very close to the XPS line. They differentiated them by capping the CPUs and other features. But for daily drivers, oh yeah. Posted by: Alteria Pilgram - My President has convictions. at September 18, 2025 07:38 AM (aJQjq) 175

I looked those over when they were in the stores. It was a nice light duty machine. They cut corners in a couple places like the base plate is plastic instead of aluminum and they cut out the backlit keyboard. But the overall package got the job done. Microsoft does a very good job with updating their hardware with security, OS, and firmware updates. Being Amazon you can get it shipped to you and look it over and if you don't like it, send it back. I have come to really like their hardware.
Posted by: Alteria Pilgram - My President has convictions. at September 18, 2025 07:17 AM (aJQjq) I’ve heard great things about Surface build quality over the years. I haven’t t tried one, but I always liked the styling of them. The biggest drawbacks I see on this laptop are the meager I/O (1 USB A, 1 USB C) and the weird screen resolution of 1034p, which I guess is adequate for a 12.4” screen but they could’ve jumped to 1200p for a little better experience. Also the 8GB of RAM is a little sparse these days, but for a browse, email, watch video, or Word/Excel machine it’s fit for purpose. Posted by: SpeakingOf at September 18, 2025 07:58 AM (6ydKt) 177

Mike Duncan
@mikeduncan History podcaster/author. Revolutions + The History of Rome. Sep 16 I listened to The History of Rome podcast, but was never nearly as impressed as so many were about it. Duncan was always very glib, and very self-fart-sniffing. In one of the filler episodes where he answered listener questions, his take on the American Revolution was bog-standard Marxist cribbed-from-Howard-Zinn stupidity. Then, at the latest, it was crystal-clear what kind of "historian" this pathetic cockholster was. Posted by: far cry at September 18, 2025 09:52 AM (Mv9xT) 183
First cup of coffee in the morning hits the spot.
Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 18, 2025 10:11 AM (tiYpZ) Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - September 17, 2025 [Philosopher Rex]![]() I get the sense that many among the Horde are struggling. Life is frustratingly simple and complex at the same time. I do not have a satisfying and unifying theory of everything. Nobody does. My words should get no free pass. This is not about me. I'm just a dinosaur with a small brain and short arms and a keyboard that I can barely reach. Part of the Charlie Kirk phenomenon over the past few days is people that consumed Charlie's content alone on their phone or computer are surprised to find how broadly others were doing the same thing. The silent majority does not always know they are the majority. Same for Charlie's reach outside the US. Maybe even more so. The breadth and vigor of complaints about Charlie that had nothing to do with what Charlie actually said is notable. (It not surprising or shocking, but is notable.) Charlie is not the first or only to experience this (Rush and DJT have seen plenty of it too). It is not enough to disagree with your opponent's views.Unlikely that everyone would agree on every point without the distortive screen, but it is easier for political opponents to invent a cartoon of their enemy rather than wrestle with their enemy directly. It is disingenuous but serves the "ends justifies the means" philosophy. But the stuff they come up with is transparently ridiculous. No wonder people that did not listen to Charlie themselves might think he was a monster. This is why discussion about "misinformation" usually misses the point. It is not about factual or neutral accuracy. It never was. "If only they understood..." "If only they read the [fill in the blank] report..." Stop it. The activists are post-truth. Their personal "truth" is their "truth." Ego over all. Even better if they can force others to accommodate their "truth." Our moral compass causes discomfort with hypocrisy but that is our issue. That charge is meaningless for them. Everything is negotiable and disposable in the same of the cause. The same people screaming about censorship now spearheaded anti-DJT and COVID censorship only a few years ago. That's unprincipled and inconsistent, but it makes perfect sense when everything is negotiable for the cause. If we fail to see that, we keep thinking we can reason with people who are trying to destroy us. There was only one Charlie. Some will try to copy with the best of intentions to continue the work. But putting on someone else's clothes often results in an awkward fit. Some may take his energy or cause and run off on unwise or imprudent tangents. Some may try without a full understanding of the intellectual labor required to do what Charlie did and be unable to pull it off. Some will take the inspiration and chart their own course for success. Some will purport to speak for him. There will be infighting over Charlie's legacy and the purity of the message and lessons to be learned. The Republican Party will find ways to hurt itself. The human condition remains flawed. (By the way, be cautious of anyone purporting to fundraise for anything on behalf of Charlie or Turning Point. Scammers are already active.) It will be interesting to see what traces back to Charlie's influence. We are slowly seeing stories of places where Charlie had a personal impact (see Data Republican). He was going to have a future impact with or without his murder. Some seeds will take time to germinate. But there was only one Charlie. Just like there was only one Rush. The fact that Charlie resonated with college students is a blistering indictment on the state of college life. Nobody was saying the things Charlie said. Nobody else was allowed to say the things Charlie said. They tried to prevent Charlie from saying what he said. There was a hunger and interest for what Charlie said. If it was not for social media, many would not have heard the message. The degree of self-confidence and self-assurance for eliminationist views is noteworthy. Shouldn't be a surprise though. One of the most remarkable aspects of Charlie's interactions with college students is that most had a poor grasp on their own very strongly held personal views. For example, Charlie asked them to define a woman or being queer without using the word "woman" or "queer." Their beliefs often boiled down to "because I feel like it." They illustrated it better than Charlie could have on his own. They might have been embarrassed but Charlie did not seek to humiliate them or hit them with sick burns for social media clicks. To the closet totalitarian, the ability to disappear people is endlessly attractive. Charlie's murder does not seem beyond the pale for people that fantasize about making people go away. There is no shame and they live in an echo chamber of justification. People who fantasize about socialism or communism always put themselves at the top of the pyramid. The reaction to Charlie's murder brings further clarity. Nobody really believes that "diversity of ideas" really means "diversity of ideas" anymore. "Diversity" means surrender your power and wealth to me for reasons - whatever reasons I can come up with. (If you're going to call people "fascists," you should at least be able to define it first. Fascist does not mean anyone that I disagree with.) Guilt is a powerful weapon and lots of people wanted to be seen as thoughtful and empathetic and went along for the ride. Even the LGB community was unwilling or unable to draw the line at the T+ alphabet soup that came along. Same thing with second or third wave feminists. I do not understand suicidal empathy but perhaps that speaks to the power of guilt and the need to be liked. The lack of a religious moral compass fuels the need to believe that meaning comes from positive attention for both the right social justice cause and not being like "those" other icky people. (Britian, I am also looking at you.) Angry people see no difference between having personal opinions and wishing others would die. The quantity of people in education and health care with the arrogance to post death wishes on public platforms is notable (again, not surprising). People are eager to self-identify so they are easier to spot. They require approval from their tribe. The dark truth is that they are afraid of their own too. The left engages in "mostly peaceful" riots and takes out its own and enforces its message with fear. Empty people find meaning in fighting the system or saving the whales or something else abstract that has zero meaning in their life but is an existential crisis at the same time. Always easier to blame someone else than start with yourself first. The crazy is normalized in the echo chamber. More difficult to get yourself figured out before diagnosing and fixing others by force. Politicians will stretch to pathologically absolve themselves with the passive voice, redirect attention, and focus on lecturing others (I'm looking at you 44). It is in their DNA. "They mean well..." or "the intentions are good but..." Why do we stipulate good faith in cases where it has not been earned? When someone tells you what they think of you, believe them. "Shut up," they explained. They mean it. Remember, Biden's "trans day of visibility" was on Easter. That was not a coincidence. Arctic Frost was not about the weather. Lois Lerner was not just processing paperwork at the IRS. We do not like thinking that people hate us and we think we can reason with them, so we make excuses. They will humanize the murderer ("very touching" messages between modern Romeo and Juliet) and de-humanize the victim (just some podcaster) and speak in generalities and not see the problem. "We may never know the motive." That says something. They'll also pivot to the real important issues, like free speech for comedians that lie. And the terrible implications for media outlets, TV stations, and movie studios. By the way, remember that Orange Man still bad. Anecdotes are not data but seems like Charlie's murder has rattled people. Soccer moms, precious independents, people that do not see themselves as "political," people that have not been to church in a long time, etc. Jimmy Kimmel did not have to say anything, yet what worked on September 9 doesn't work anymore. He used to play to the echo chamber with impunity but now has an indefinite vacation because of ABC affiliate pressure. Doubt he understands what happened. Doubt he understands why his judgment was poor. Sounds like he was planning the usual non-apology apology but that didn't work this time. That's not cancel culture that dug up and distorted tweets from years ago to slime someone. That's FAFO. We are not in "either you are with me or against me" mode or "everyone else is a foe." This is not loyalty oath time. We do not need to undermine our own principles. We are, however, in situational awareness mode to be cognizant that not everyone wishes us well. Our faith will continue to be challenged. Last night, JQ said "God is not a vending machine." She is right. The hard part about faith is that we do not get the answer sheet to find out why things happen or do not happen, but yet we still take the risk of putting our trust in God. Prayer is part of a personal relationship with God. Prayer is part of what keeps us grounded and reinforces our core foundation. Prayer keeps us humble and reminds us that it is not all about us. Despite a personal relationship with the Divine, we will continue to feel alone at times. We will wonder what happened, seek answers, and struggle to see paths forward. That is part of the human condition too. We are collectively fortunate to have the Moron Horde. No, we do not all agree or believe the same things. We have a roughly consistent outlook on the world and still find ways to differ widely. But the knowledge the Horde is there provides comfort that we are not alone. That is one reason the gray boxes are important (even if you are late for a post or comment only periodically). As I said in last Wednesday's ONT, the question is will the center hold. Will we hold fast when we would have bent before? Will we absorb the body blows while choosing to think they do not want to hurt us? Will we parent rather than assume teachers have the best interests of our children at heart? Will we turnout for midterms? Will we seek to hear what people actually say rather than rely on media or social media to summarize or repeat or excerpt it for us? Fighting does not mean looking for violence in the streets or spoiling for confrontation. Fighting does not mean spending all day taking on all the Twitter trolls or monitoring cable news for the latest outrage. Fighting defends a religious moral compass that is still the best recipe for human existence. We each can fight in our own way. For those wondering, yes this does feel different. No, it is not just you. It is not going away. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We can't afford to let it go away. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

"As the last names were being signed, Franklin, in a personal aside to some other members, made an observation about the chair that Washington had been sitting in as he presided over the Convention. The chair had an emblem of half of a sun. Franklin noted that artists often have a hard time distinguishing between a rising and a setting sun in their artwork. “I have often and often, in the course of the session, and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at that behind the President, without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting: but now at length, I have the happiness to know, that it is a rising and not a setting sun.” ~ From the National Park Service Posted by: Quarter Twenty at September 17, 2025 10:06 PM (XQo4F) Posted by: Soothsayer at September 17, 2025 10:06 PM (VcyCj) 23

Brilliant writeup Philosopher Rex!
The left’s response to Charlie Kirk proved beyond any shadow of a doubt that the majority of Democrats will Concentration Camp me and my family and any conservative Christian if the Democrats ever gain sufficient power. Any future Democrat Presidential victory may be ‘sufficient power’ to achieve their objective. To Any Doubters: See South Africa today or Lenin/Mao/Stalin of past generations.

50 Cent is MAGA, dedicated "Many Men" to DJT right after Butler.
Eminem is in that Rust Belt culture who sees Republicans as the assholes in Farmington Hills who've done little for him. So there's a lot of bitterness there. Kudos for at least backing off and not kneejerking against Kirk (whom he would normally see as an enemy). That he's done a tribute goes beyond what I'd expect.

Posted by: BruceWayne at September 17, 2025 10:19 PM (MGB5H) Even if he didn't lose the TDS, he doesn't seem to be voicing that opinion. That's an improvement.

Great ONT. The center will hold, of that I have no doubt. I am an optimist because it seems to be a lot of work to be chronically pessimistic. I am also a Christian.
Finally some are looking at the covid issue and possibly leading to some of the brainwashing. The dark gamer world. Not all of it. Some people are essentially plain evil. They have a choice, we all do. They choose evil and I choose God. I am far from perfect in my snarky life. But I am not a cafeteria Christian who picks and chooses what I want to believe in. Queers, gays and trans are not ok. Trans take it even further to destroy what God made them. What has meant more than anything to me was on Sunday? the big march in London, the push towards deporting illegals, and the freedom of speech issue: Charlie Kirk was heard around the world. Many mentioned him on stage. There were cries of "Charlie" in the crowd. It brought tears to my eyes. God is in the midst of good and evil things that happen. He always has been. And sometimes people need the push of sadness to seek God. He's with us all, you are His creation and made in love. Be still and know God. Rise up and look around you. There are blessings each day.

If Eminem is memorializing Kirk, then it's just a sign that it's become fashionable, culturally advantageous to do so in a way that attracts insincere grifters in addition to people who truly mourn him.

TRex, for a fossil that some purty gooder writing.
The Lefts' center has been rocked. This is once in a generation moment. Time to roll them up. Next comes the hard work of de-lefting (see post WWII Germany for details) the nation and society and making the cost of being a Woke Marxist so expensive they retire to a Tora Bora cave. Much led to this moment including a decent man being assassinated. Too, the unyielding resilience and resolve of President Trump through one of the darkest moments of our history cannot be ignored. We came close, so very close since Obama to losing everything. Ahead is much is uncertain. I anticipate much violence from the Left as this plays out. Still, to be precise, the Left is fucked. Good riddance. May this moment of light spread to all of Western culture though I fear Europe my be beyond reach for generations. May God continue to bless us as we go forward; we are going to need it. Posted by: Alteria Pilgram - My President has convictions. at September 17, 2025 10:42 PM (Aa1DU) 150

As far as Jimmy Kimmel and the others losing jobs or getting kicked out of organizations or colleges, they are reaping what they have sown over the last decade or more. Posted by: Hour of the Wolf =============== Kimmel's remarks weren't as bad as they could have been, but he's been one of the poisonous snakes nonetheless and I don't care what gets them out as long as they're out. It's too bad he's headed for another platform -- we all know he is -- but his ignominious ousting by people he doubtless thought were ideological confreres is a satisfying spectacle.

This is why discussion about "misinformation" usually misses the point. It is not about factual or neutral accuracy. It never was. "If only they understood..." "If only they read the [fill in the blank] report..." Stop it. The activists are post-truth. Their personal "truth" is their "truth." Ego over all. Even better if they can force others to accommodate their "truth."

It's no more a word than transrace or transage. It was the lipstick on the pig of gender dysphoria. Posted by: BruceWayne at September 17, 2025 10:47 PM (MGB5H) And we were supposed to accept it and their furries as "normal." I think not! I read a short medical paper from Canada, which I wish I had bookmarked. It said that 1/2 of MEN who try to become WOMEN commit suicide after the surgery. Because no matter the hormones or surgery they will always be men. When you put yourself into this ungodly butchering, you think you will come out a woman. Instead you leak the rest of your life, have ingrown hairs, never have sex or orgasm again, and it takes 15-20min to simply pee. On top of pain forever. They should have to sign a pre-op document with the above. That might save their tallywhackers for the good of, well, mankind. I once had a rumored transvestite cardiologist try to run over me in the parking garage of the med center. I sinned by simply jumping out of his way when he backed up and peeled his tires. Then glared at me. He was perpetually mean, cranky and threw instruments in the cath lab. Many reports by nurses against him. They should just stay cranky vs going furry.

Now...I'm not gonna say all white people look alike but there is no way you could have noticed Iryna wasn't American, let alone a Uke, just by looking at her which is also Stabby McThug had to go on...

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 17, 2025 10:27 PM I am a pessimist. I used to be a churchgoing Christian. I have a dim view of human nature, the world, and frankly of God if he's even there/cares which I grow more doubtful of daily. But for some reason I hang on to what I know to be right, dammit, and reject this bullshit insanity they keep trying to force on us. Why, I'm not entirely certain.

The pervert community has officially added "furries" as an "identity." This is worse than when they made "witches" a "real" "religion." This means they can't be discriminated against. What this really means is the Groomers can get children to pretend they are "witches" and "furries" and parents & schools must indulge [suffer] them.

The lefties screaming "Free Speech" are (seems to me, anyway) incredibly ignorant as to what the 1st Amendment actually says, and what it applies to. Saw a video of a woman vandalizing a memorial who was subsequently fired. Her sister started a GoFundMe, ranting about how the firing was not only illegal but unconstitutional. They also have a remarkably poor sense of self preservation in posting their actions/rants publicly on the internet.

"For starters, the floor-length gown left many fashion watchers puzzled, as it appeared vibrant yellow in some photos but a muted butter-yellow in others. And then there was the issue of the belt: Is it baby pink - or purple? Thankfully, insiders have now weighed in to clarify.

Everyone knows the costs and wait times are way up...and quality has dropped. But the paperwork thing is especially pernicious. All the gains from computerization were wasted on increased paperwork.

As a newlywed I was washing my face in the sink and screamed when my husband came into the bathroom and startled me. Didn't do much for him, either. He said I should not read anymore of his books and he was right. Is it mean of me to wish the van that hit him years ago did not do a better job of it? Rhetorical. I bid you all a good night.

Where royal caribbean did stop, and it pissed me off to no end was antigua. We were supposed to stop at Aruba, and for some reason there was a last minute change and we went to antigua instead. That place aspires to be a shithole. I'll never forget it. the area where the ship is is fenced off from the population, and you have to walk to a gate to actually enter this fucking sewer. They where hanging on the fence like the frigging evacuation of Hanoi. My brother looks at me as were walking and says "nothing like feeling like a steak being marched into a lion pit". This wasn't willy wonka shit where the doors open into magical world, nooooo this was a mini haiti in training that looked like it didn't have a functioning government. We got swarmed. the only reason they lived is the fact that a fucking ak47 didn't fall from the sky into my hands. This was 2 months after 9/11. To get back on the ship, you handing them your bags, *you*walked through a metal detector, they slid the bags down a wooden table and handed them back to you without even looking at them.

It's housed within the EMR of that hospital system. So dentist or doctor not in that system not connected. HOWEVER even larger systems of EMRs can't pull your data forward. Drs can't even pull their notes forward. They have to go to the original log and add a not. It was designed by morons.

I always felt that the best, and scariest, Stephen King book and movie was "Misery". It didn't have the usual horror elements. Just the terror of James Caan being held prisoner by a crazy lady.To this day I think of "Misery" when I see a sledge hammer.
Posted by: nerdygirl at September 18, 2025 12:04 AM (0Htd1) Worst part about that movie was they wrecked a 66 Mustang to get Caan into the house with crazy lady. I actually screamed in terror in the theater. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at September 18, 2025 12:07 AM (Zz0t1) 391

King is a discovery writer/pantser. They get an idea and then write as they follow. They are usually really good at a banger concept and characters. But the plot is a mess. A good pantser will go back to the beginning, rewrite everything as his story has changed so much as he's discovered the real story during the writing process.
King is a lazy discovery writer. He doesn't do the work of going back and rewriting and figuring out a good ending. The drugs didn't help either. I've heard his shirt stories are usually pretty tight, less to mess with. (Conversely, an outliner/plotter is the opposite of a pantser. Take longer in the pre planning stage, but the outline before they write helps them to write faster in the actual writing stage, and editing stage, have less dramatic rewrites than a pantser.)

In reality, denazification wasn't all that hard. Couldn't have been a better demonstration of "that didn't work". Devastation with enemy troops sitting in your country. Unlike WW1 there was no armistice with any reason to think " we could have still won if we just held out" Plus Russians sitting and waiting to finish the job so couldn't tick off the West too much. Don't know if the "left" can be changed as there's no way to do them like that. Hard to defeat an ideology that doesn't believe in fixed rules or truth or really anything beyond "whatever works to get control"

Ace & crew this may be nothing but feel free to run with it if this means what I think...
Argument in Favor of Revoking Citizenship 1. Potential Grounds Under the INA: • The INA (8 U.S.C. § 1481) allows citizenship revocation for specific acts, such as treason, advocating the overthrow of the government, or bearing arms against the U.S., if done with the intent to relinquish citizenship. Celebrating someone’s death could be construed as an act of disloyalty or, in extreme cases, incitement to violence, depending on the context. • If the celebration includes explicit calls to violence or terrorism against others (e.g., advocating for more deaths of public figures), it might be argued that the citizen is engaging in seditious behavior or supporting terrorist activities. Posted by: Fenrisulven at September 18, 2025 01:59 AM (ciYHQ) 514
A lot less than you'd think. Dearbornistan has been going on for over 25 years
Posted by: BruceWayne at September 18, 2025 01:55 AM (MGB5H) Yeah. Clinton imports. Same with the Somalis. I left that shithole and watched as they imported it. Posted by: Reforger at September 18, 2025 01:59 AM (ARs5+) 515
2. Public Safety and National Security:
• The government might argue that celebrating the death of a public figure like Kirk, especially if tied to a broader pattern of extremist behavior, poses a threat to national security. In rare cases, the DOJ has pursued denaturalization for individuals tied to terrorism (e.g., cases under “Operation Janus” targeting fraudulently obtained citizenships linked to terrorist affiliations). • If the celebration occurs in a context that glorifies violence or aligns with foreign entities hostile to the U.S., prosecutors could claim it reflects intent to renounce allegiance to the U.S., a requirement for revoking citizenship under Vance v. Terrazas (1980). Counterpoint to Consider: • The burden of proof for denaturalization is high (“clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence” ![]() Posted by: Fenrisulven at September 18, 2025 02:00 AM (ciYHQ) 516

Reddit is a nasty cesspool. Discord is a million times worse because it allows private groups. At least Reddit is all public posts. Twitch is also a nasty cesspool but is a live stream application. So again doesn't allow the "secrecy" of discord.
Posted by: BruceWayne at September 18, 2025 12:55 AM (MGB5H) Reddit subs can be private. Reddit and Twitch both actively suppress conservative politics. They've grown so unused to contrary opinions the far-left is typically at war with the moderate-left on those platforms. Reddit is probably worse because dissenting opinions are censored by not just mods and admins but users as well, since downvoted posts get hidden. There's a lot of overall unhealthiness created from very large hive minds never experiencing a dissenting opinion. Discord is a mix of public and private, but fundamentally it's just a combination of Teamspeak/Mumble and IRC. Private groups can do heinous things, but that's true of the internet or just life as a whole. Actually moderating every bit of it would probably require a Great Firewall of China level effort, and there's still ten thousand other services for unsavory types to flock to.

In bizarro land of our fucked up healthcare, I was seriously injured in a dirt bike accident due to a mechanical failure last month. I was awake for the ER, knocked out for the trip to a Phoenix hospital which I wasn't asked about or given a choice. Woke up to a nice looking young White surgeon telling me he was going to rebuild my shoulder, another nice young White surgeon telling me he was going to work on my ankle. Amazing nurses, got all the drugs I wanted, amazing food and service. They took great care of me. The only weird part was the Trauma Floor Supervisor DR was this insane DEI hire Black Chick. I only saw her twice luckily. What a bitch. I looked up her Bio. She Graduated from St. Georges medical Univ of GRENADA. I gave her a shit review because she deserved it. Overall, a 9 out of 10 on that 7 days in the hospital.

Hey Bruce-
I got my A&P 35 years ago as a kid and did it as an apprentice with an FAA Designated examiner IA. Had to do 36 months apprenticeship. Still turning wrenches and flying fires.

I was the rat on an electrified grid, getting shocked for no particular reason, until I stopped moving at all.
Folks talked me out of every single thing, trying to "guide" me into what THEY thought that I SHOULD do. Trying to plan my whole future for me, without my input at all. I know they loved me, and that they cared... but they never allowed me to follow MY dreams, only THEIRS. Consequently, I married (poorly) young and moved as far away as possible. The rest is history. Sad. Posted by: JQ at September 18, 2025 03:08 AM (rdVOm) 572

Willowed, of course.
The issue of marque and reprisal was raised before Congress after the September 11 attacks and again by Congressman Ron Paul on July 21, 2007. The attacks were defined as acts of "air piracy" and the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001 was introduced, which would have granted the president the authority to use letters of marque and reprisal against the specific terrorists, instead of warring against a foreign state. The terrorists were compared to pirates in that they are difficult to fight by traditional military means. On April 15, 2009, Paul also advocated the use of letters of marque to address the issue of Somali pirates operating in the Gulf of Aden. However, the bills Paul introduced were not enacted into law.

A petard is a type of small, bucket-shaped or conical explosive device used in ancient warfare to breach walls or force open gates by detonating a gunpowder mixture against them. The term also refers to a type of firecracker, and comes from the French word "pétarder," meaning "to break wind".

Grok on Commentator Wesley Crusher:
Wesley Crusher appears to be a pseudonym adopted by a commenter on the Ace of Spades HQ blog, a right-leaning political commentary site known for its irreverent, satirical tone and focus on current events, culture, and conservative perspectives. The name is a clear reference to the character Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: TNG, suggesting the commenter may embrace a geeky, sci-fi enthusiast persona, possibly with a self-deprecating or ironic twist given the blog's audience. "Wesley Crusher" is characterized as a frequent, witty contributor who engages in: Humorous and Sarcastic Commentary: Posts often feature pop culture references, puns, and light-hearted jabs at liberal politics, media, or celebrities, aligning with the blog's house style of "moron horde" banter. Active Participation: Shows up in threads on topics like elections, TV shows, or internet memes, indicating a regular reader since at least the mid-2010s, though exact activity peaks around election cycles. Overall, Wesley Crusher embodies the quintessential AoSHQ commenter: smart, snarky, and unapologetically partisan, using sci-fi flair to spice up political discourse.

What's the deal with russian bears? Are they not as aggressive? Or are russians just way too crazy/drunk to care?
Posted by: banana Dream at September 17, 2025 09:09 PM (3uBP9) The ratio seemed off to me. Size of the bear, speed of the Russian in getting honey to bear, and amount of honey. In a more just world, more Russians would be killed by bears in such situations. Posted by: BurtTC at September 17, 2025 09:17 PM (7D9XB) 71

Trump was gob-smacked by Kate. William and Kate were the ones to greet the Trumps at the helicopter, and then walk them to formally introduce them to the King. When Kate shook hands with Trump, he said, "Wow, you're so beautiful!" And of course lavished praise on her in his remarks at the state dinner. Seating was interesting. Chuckles was at the center of that YUGE table. Trump sat to his right, with Marco Rubio on the king's left. Kate sat right next to Trump on Trump's right. Melania and Camilla were on the other side, with Melania at Camilla's right. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 17, 2025 09:21 PM (w6EFb) 88

A guy on talk radio suggested that maybe the assassin WAS a groyper, because groypers are so ironic. And that text exchange with his roommate was so strange. This is a week after the assassination! Never mind all the trans Discord accounts with apparent prior knowledge of the assassination plans.
That analysis was just before the Jimmy Kimmel news hit. As far as I can recall, the best piece of evidence of a groyper connection was that there was a Spotify music list with an Italian antifascist song title mentioned, which matched something on or with the bullet casings. My brother learned that song in Italy 50 years ago as a 'familiar folk song'. No Groyper or Antifa connection on his part. Posted by: KT at September 17, 2025 09:24 PM (7vIsy) 100

BurtTC,
I have disagreements, naturally, but you force me to have a good counterpoint if I do. When it comes to the blowing up of drug boats, my take is this: These are international narco-terrorists, bringing in deadly drugs from Venezuela to the U.S, in a boat on the high seas; drone cameras show the bales of drugs. They are fair game, just as piracy is fair game. I know I'm stretching Maritime Law a bit, but that's my take. International drug smuggling is sometimes a capital offense with no trial. Just like piracy. Posted by: RickZ at September 17, 2025 09:28 PM (gKDq2) Posted by: davidt at September 17, 2025 09:28 PM (i0F8b) 119

We know government kept overstepping its bounds with that, blowing up this guy or that guy, who really had nothing to do with 9/11. I'm no bleeding heart, but I do want to know that when my government is going to use deadly force, it's within the framework of our Constitution, and something resembling a moral code.

Ah, the Goldens, Ace, my love.
When son and DIL got their first golden pup, they crated him when they were at work for six months. Son ignored me when I said it was too early to let him out. They came home from lunch one day to the pup's fenced off area in the kitchen/family room. Feathers flying in the air. Pup proud. He'd destroyed his new dog bed by whacking in around and ripping the feathers out. Then a cheap tv table fell over and he took a bit out of the particle board. This led to a book falling off and he ate most of the book...plus part of a Bic pen. Found a few bites in the cord to the tv. Son called the vet who said to watch him. Oh, he watched him poop white from the book for two days. They then crated him months longer when they were not around. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 17, 2025 09:37 PM (6PCLE) 152

Today we were to settle up, since I left town recently when my mother got sick, and then died. He said, in light of what happened, he wasn't going to charge me for the services. I told him I wanted to argue with him on it, that he has been reliable and dependable, and is doing me a great service whenever he comes over. I asked him to please take the money, but that it was his decision. He opted not to take it. I told him he is what gives me hope for this world, that there are yoots like himself in it.

I have disagreements, naturally, but you force me to have a good counterpoint if I do.
When it comes to the blowing up of drug boats, my take is this: These are international narco-terrorists, bringing in deadly drugs from Venezuela to the U.S, in a boat on the high seas; drone cameras show the bales of drugs. They are fair game, just as piracy is fair game. I know I'm stretching Maritime Law a bit, but that's my take. International drug smuggling is sometimes a capital offense with no trial. Just like piracy. Posted by: RickZ My only beef? Hit them in American waters, not international waters. American waters go out 12 miles. Posted by: rickb223 at September 17, 2025 09:40 PM (bl3vo) 161

Posted by: BurtTC at September 17, 2025 09:32 PM (7D9XB) I'm fairly certain piracy is defined in Maritime Law. I know those pirates over there pretty much everywhere attacking boats are righteously sent to Davey Jones' Locker. No court. No trial. These drug boats failed an order to stop based upon that drone footage. Being on the open ocean outside of any countries' legal limit is different. England patroled the seas looking for slave ships at one point, stopping them and freeing the slaves. When you're in international waters, things are different. Plus, that's why we have a Navy, to protect our shores. Now if you think Congress should be involved in something like this, I'm not so sure. To me, it's like the raid on Iran. It worked because tell Congress, tell the World. Boots on the ground is something entirely different. Posted by: RickZ at September 17, 2025 09:42 PM (gKDq2) 170

With Kimmel getting canned I’m seeing lots of people talking about the hypocrisy of cancel culture. To me Cancel culture is when people go out of their way to dig up old tweets, videos etc looking for dirt on somebody they don’t like in an effort to get them fired. Like if Kimmel got canceled for shit he did on the Man Show that would be cancel culture. But when a person says something that a ton of people find offensive, rude, dumb in real time and then that person is punished for it that’s not cancel culture.

>>My only beef? Hit them in American waters, not international waters.
>>American waters go out 12 miles. Why? As was noted above since 2001, after the 9/11 attack, the president has the authority to attack designated terrorist organization to attack terrorist groups. Tren de Aragua is a Venezuelan government sponsored terrorist group that has been attacking the US for years. They bring drugs that kill thousands, probably hundreds of thousands, and crime. They are for all intents a foreign military attacking the US with different kinds of weapons that harm and kill Americans. Trump isn't just tossing darts at random boats. We have significant assets in the Gulf and we are watching them load boats with drugs headed for the US. We have frigging drones that know what you are eating for dinner if they want, they know what these boats are carrying. Take out killers before they get close to the coast. Doesn't bother in the least. Posted by: JackStraw at September 17, 2025 09:50 PM (viF8m) Posted by: Boss Moss at September 17, 2025 09:50 PM (fsbop) 195

While Lady Melania can wear anything and any color, and she did not ask me, but I think she should have chosen a soft pale yellow to honor the queen's love of yellow. Her favorite flower was actually delicate lily of the valley.
What I don't like about the gown is the belt. She should have put some bling there. At the table, not seeing the belt, she looks fine. I also understand her not wanting to "outshine" the queen. I would never want to be seated next to Lady Melania, and in my time I could hold my own. However, her beauty is stunning. Those eyes of hers could pin down anyone and make them stutter. Her beauty never needs big jewelry, as she often wears diamond studs. I also understand the hat on arrival. A hat draws attention to your face. I was told this when I wore a hat with a veil in my wedding with my hair up. Hats are wonderful things, ladies. I have many. I understand her role in Trump 2 is not to focus on fussy dresses; but she is so gorgeous I wish she'd worn something like Princess Catherine. However, she is the First Lady and has her reasons. President Trump seems to be behaving. I am glad Secretary Rubio made it as well. Tiffany Trump also looked lovely. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 17, 2025 10:05 PM (6PCLE) 237

——— Yes, but the failure theater “can’t get there from here” squishes in government don’t want people to know that any longer. They might be expected to do something, and that just isn’t cricket, you see. We saw this kind of thing in this country after the first WTC bombing. The “rules of war” might sound a little strange but there are many. The Clinton toadies in his administration wanted everything treated as garden variety criminal matters, with trials and attorneys and the rest of it. US and international law is unequivocal, combatants must wear an identifiable uniform and carry any weapons openly, among a great many other requirements (rank structure, assigned unit, ID cards, etc) If they do not adhere to these requirements , they are unlawful enemy combatants and have absolutely no rights whatsoever. Certainly not a fucking circus trial in Manhattan.
